AAUP Expresses Support for SMU Press
Member Press Facing Threat of Closure
May 2010
On April 29, the director and staff of the SMU Press were informed that the operations of the press would be suspended and all staff positions eliminated as of June 1, 2010. The decision was a surprise to both the staff and advisory board of the Press, and was made with little consultation with experts or consideration of the effects of such a drastic and sudden action. The SMU Faculty Senate acted quickly, passing the below resolutions to form a committee to review press operations and alternatives to closure and to request that the university not take action until the review has been completed.
MOTION: The President of the Senate will convene a faculty committee in consultation with the Executive Committee to review the status of the SMU Press, and look at creative options to permit the University to maintain the operation of the SMU Press.
MOTION: The SMU Faculty Senate requests that the President of the Senate will convey immediately to the Provost and the President our disagreement regarding the suspension of SMU Press, that we wish the decision to be reversed, and request that no positions be terminated until this decision can be reviewed.
The Association of American University Presses expresses its support for the SMU Press and encourages members and friends to join us in a chorus of support for the Press and its 73 years of proud publishing. Press Director Keith Gregory, along with members of the press advisory board and SMU Faculty Senate, met with the Provost on May 12. The Press collected letters of support from SMU authors and faculty, and a tremendous number of supporters from around the country. On May 19, Provost Paul Ludden announced that current publishing contracts would be fulfilled and that a task force would be appointed to review the press and recommend options for renewed press operations by the end of the year. The suspension of new publishing activity will go forward on May 31, 2010, and the status of press staff and list remains unclear.
Below are the addresses to use for continued letters of support. It may be helpful to read the appeal drafted by Russell Martin, chair of the SMU Press Advisory Board, on behalf of the Press that prompted the Faculty Senate's action, which includes an account of many recent honors for the Press, its authors and their books. [Read the PDF] We also have a collection of short messages of support for the Press from leading lights in literature and the academy; including Richard Russo, Ann Beattie, Alan Cheuse, Madison Smartt Bell,and Leslie Epstein, among others. [Read these letters of support.]

Eid e Mubahila
24th Zilhajj marks the anniversary of the auspicious occassion of Eid e Mubahila. The event of Mubahila occurred in the 10th Hijri, and marks the victory of Muslims over Christians of Najran.
Shaheed Foundation Pakistan extends its heartiest greetings and felicitations to Imam-e-Zaman a.t.f.s , Marajieen-e-ezaam, Ulema-e-Karam ,Momineen o Mominaat on the eve of Eid -e-Mubaahila
The city of Najran was located north of Sanaa in Yemen. People of Najran had been historically idol worshipers, but a large number of them slowly converted to Christianity. In the early days of Islam after the conquest of Mecca, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) started sending emissaries to the neighboring tribes inviting them to Islam. The letter he sent to Najran read as follows:
"In the Name of the God of Ibrahim, Ishaaq and Yaqub. This letter is from Muhammad, the Prophet and Messenger of Allah to the Asqaf (Bishop) of Najran. Praise be to the God of Ibrahim, Ishaaq and Yaqub. I invite you to worship Allah instead of (His) servants. I invite you to come out of the rule of the servants of Allah and into the rule of Allah Himself. If you do not accept my invitation, then you should (at least) pay Jizya (tax) to the Islamic State (so that your lives and properties may be protected), otherwise you are warned of a danger."
By using the names of the ancient Prophets, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) wanted to let the Christians of Najran know that the belief in One God he was teaching was the same as that preached by the previous Prophets Ibrahim, Ishaaq and Yaqub (A.S), in whom they also believed. The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) also included the following verse of the Holy Quran in the letter:
"Say, (O Muhammad), "O people of the Book (Bible), come to an agreement between us and you; that we shall worship none but Allah, and that we shall claim no partner to Him, and that none of us shall take others for lords besides Allah." And if they turn away, then say, " Bear witness that we are Muslims (those who have surrendered to Allah)". (Quran 3:6)
When the Bishop of Najran received this message, he called in several influential people and scholars for dialogue on how they should respond. After deliberations, it was decided to send a group of scholars should go to Medina for an open dialogue with the Muslims. Thus, a 14 member delegation arrived in Medina. However, when they arrived they were dressed in silk clothes, golden rings and precious stones. On seeing them dressed in this fashion, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) was disturbed and he ignored them. The delegation realized that something was wrong but were unsure on what to do. On the advice of Imam Ali (A.S), the delegation of Najran changed their style of dress to simple clothes and removed their ornaments. They returned to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) who received them with a warm welcome. Before they entered into a discussion, they requested for permission to say their prayers and this was granted. They were put in one part of the mosque where the could pray with comfort. Then the following conversation took place:
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W):
I invite you towards the belief of Tauheed and the worship of One God and submission to His will. (Then he recited verse 64 of Surah Aali Imran.)
Christians Fathers:
If Islam means faith in the One God of the Universe, we already believe in Him and follow His Commands.
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W):
Islam has a few signs and some of your actions show that you have not accepted true Islam. How do you claim worship of One God when you worship the cross and do not abstain from eating pork and believe that God has a son?
A Christian Father:
Certainly Jesus [Isa (A.S)] was the son of God because his mother Mary [Maryam (a.s)] had given birth to him without marrying anyone in this world. Therefore obviously his father is the God of this Universe. We also believe in Jesus [Isa (a.s)] as God because he used to bring the dead back to life, cure the sick and create birds from clay and make them fly. All this points to the fact that he is God.
The Holy Prophet (s.a.w):
No, he was the servant and creature of God, and placed in the womb of his mother Maryam (A.S). All his power and strength was granted to him by God. At this time, angel Jibraeel (A.S) brought the following verse of the Holy Quran from Allah:
" Surely the example of Isa to Allah is like that of Adam; He created him from dust, and then said to him, Be! and he was". (Quran 3:59)
This meant that if Isa (A.S) could be called the son of God because of the fact he was born without a father, then Adam (A.S) deserved this title more, because he was born without a father or mother. The Christian Fathers could not reply to this argument but they continued to argue. Then the following verse of the Holy Quran was revealed:
"And whoever argues with you in this matter after what has come to you of knowledge, then say: Come, let us call our sons and your sons and our women and your women and ourselves and yourselves, then let us humbly pray and invoke the curse of Allah on the liars." (Quran 3:61)
The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) produced this verse before the Christians and declared the challenge of "Mubahila", which means to curse one another. The Christians consulted each other and announced their acceptance of the challenge. Then they returned to their camp.
It was agreed between the two parties that the contest would take place the next day in the open desert outside the city of Medina. On the 24th of Zilhaj, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) came out for Mubahila. He held Imam Hussain (A.S) in his arms and he held Imam Hasan (A.S) by his hand. Bibi Fatima (A.S) came behind him, while behind her came Imam Ali (A.S). The Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) said to them, "When I pray you should say Ameen." In obedience to the verse of Mubahila sent by Allah , the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) had brought Imam Hasan (A.S) and Imam Hussain (A.S) as his "SONS", Bibi Fatima (A.S) as his "WOMEN" and Imam Ali (A.S) as his "SELF".
The Christian Fathers, on seeing the beautiful and shining faces in front of them became spellbound. Their hearts trembled and they began to shake on seeing the power radiating from Ahlul Bayt (A.S). Their leader asked someone, "Who are these people that have come with Muhammad?" The man told him the names and their relationship with the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W). He could hold his patience no longer and he cried out:
"By God, I am seeing such faces that if they were to pray to God to move the mountain, God Almighty would move the mountain for them. Oh you people of Najran, if you contest with Muhammad in this prayer of invoking curses on the liars, then I warn you that all of you will be destroyed and not a single soul will remain on this earth. I feel that it would be better to surrender to them and obey them."
When the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) heard these words he remarked,
"By God, had the Christians of Najran contested with us, they would have been transformed into monkeys and swines. Fire would have rained over them."
When the Christian Fathers backed away from Mubahila, the Holy Prophet (s.a.w) gave them two choices; either to accept Islam or agree to come to terms to pay Jazia. The Christians did not agree to accept Islam and therefore a treaty was signed. One of the important conditions agreed in this treaty was that the people of Najran would not deal in usury (interest taking) of any sort, otherwise the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) would not remain bound by the treaty with them. After the Christian returned home, a few respectable persons from Najran came to Medina and willingly accepted Islam and became Muslims.
The event of Mubahila is an extremely important part of history because it shows how close the Ahlul Bayt (A.S) were to the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) and Allah. Imam Ali (A.S) used to be called the "Soul of the Prophet" after the event, because the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.W) took him to the field of Mubahila as his soul.

Our journey really began at the Westmont Community where six of us stayed overnight on Wednesday, January 2. That way, we could get an early start on Thursday morning. Mark, Matt, and Sam had driven down from the Twin Cities and Michael had flown in to Chicago from Yakima, his home. A special thanks to Brother Rob Veselsky, Director, for all the hospitality at Westmont.
Our destination Thursday was Pittsburgh, about an eight-hour drive. We arrived at Central Catholic right on time for dinner after a bit of rush-hour traffic. The CC Brothers were very gracious. After dinner, Brothers Tony Baginski and Bobby Schaefer gave us a tour of Pittsburgh. It was a chilly night, but the view from Mount Washington was superb. Thanks to all the Brothers and especially Director Ben Oliver for the warm welcome.
On Friday we crossed Pennsylvania and arrived at Jeremy House in Philadelphia early afternoon. The retreat, coordinated by Brother Len Rhoades began with mass in the community at 5:00pm. Malik, a DENA Contact joined us for the weekend, along with Bro. Jim Dries, DENA Vocation Director. Our time together was a combination of prayer, presentations, meals, and down time to reflect and rest. As ususal, Brothers Rich, Hugh, and Brian from Jeremy House were wonderful hosts.
Sam Olsem (Fulda, MN) says this about the experience: "I was really impressed with how smoothly the weekend went. All the brothers were very accommodating, and I was, yet again, impressed by the amount of hospitality always found in a brothers community. It was helpful for me to be able to see the inner workings of Jeremy House especially, having visited only briefly in the past. I enjoyed getting to hear some of the brothers' journey stories, as well as ask some questions I was able to have answered clearly. Overall, it was a great trip, and I'm glad that I came."
Michael Phipps (Yakima, WA) adds: "The experience was great in that it reinforced my respect and zeal for the Lasallian mission. Having the opportunity to see a number of brothers I had met and interacted with in the past was an inspiring experience, as usual. The time spent reflecting on my personal vocation journey as well as listening to the vocation stories of a number of the brothers present breathed new life into my life journey in the Lasallian world."
Mark Kociemba, (Hopkins, MN) shares this about his experience: "Being new to the contact program, the trip allowed me to explore my call to the Christian Brothers. The opportunity to experience life in a community was worth the trip. It brought a new prospective to what life is like as a brother."
Matt Lehman (Minneapolis): "This weekend gave me a lot to chew on as I decide whether the life of a Brother is the life for me. I am thankful for experiencing the same generous hospitality and delicious food with the Brothers on our journey that I've grown used to in my home community with the Brothers at DeLaSalle High School in Minneapolis."
Brother Stephen Markham organized our road trip which totaled about 1600 miles. The road trip provided lots of time to get to know one another. That's one of the reasons I came on this trip. It gave me an opportunity to get to know these four Contacts and see how they interact with one another and the Brothers they met along the way. The theme of journey and call came up repeatedly, so being on this actual "journey" together seemed very apropos.
A special thanks to Mark, Matt, Michael, and Sam for participating so wholeheartedly in this January journey. Let's keep all of our young men discerning a call to become a Christian Brother in our prayers.
Live Jesus in our hearts—Forever!
-Bro. Larry Schatz

Brrr, it's cold out today!
In a loving nod to the cold, and in order to make it seem more fun and less freezing, today's storytime theme was penguins. We read penguin books, danced the penguin hokey-pokey (some of us more than others), and made a lovely penguin craft involving both glue sticks and googly eyes (because everything is better with googly eyes).
Last night, we had Jewelry Club for middle and high school students, and we made double-strand beaded bracelets, which are a lot less complicated than they look. This one's mine:
The girls were having a lot of fun designing their own patterns, and they all turned out great! Better than mine, if truth be told. They've asked that next time we meet, we do the same jewelry we've done before, so the people who couldn't come to other meetings get to learn everything. That works for me! We'll be making beaded bracelets, recycled paper beads, and duct tape bracelets.
Speaking of upcoming programs, this Saturday is Doctor Who Day, and I'm getting all geared up for it. We're planning to watch several episodes of the tv show while enjoying some Cyberman cake and some popcorn. There will be a trivia contest at 2 p.m. for bragging rights and a chance to win a special piece of Whovian swag. Come hang out with fellow fans and get your picture taken with the library's very own TARDIS! It is optional but encouraged to come dressed from your favorite time period or as your favorite character. I'm not sure that anybody will come dressed up, but you never know! You don't have to register for this – just stop on by.
Also coming up:
Next week's Tech Talk will feature guest speaker Cheryl Hayden, who will be talking about how to use MuseScore, a Free and Open Source Software that works on Linux, Windows, and Mac, which is used for composing, scoring and notating music. This event will be held on Thursday, January 31, at 6:30 p.m.
February is Love Your Library Month! Food For Fines Week will be running from 2/12 through 2/16: bring in non-perishable food items and have your fines waived! Stop by for details about this program.
We will have Valentine Cookie Decorating for grades K-4 on Saturday, 2/2, and for grades 5-12 on Thursday, 2/14! You need to register for these programs, so please sign up on our website and reserve your space today!
The Movie Saturday on 2/9 is the newly-on-DVD Tim Burton film about a boy who brings his dog back to life, just in time for the science fair! We will also be watching a movie during the day on Thursday, 2/21, which is in the middle of school vacation week: that one features classic horror movie monsters and the posh resort where they go for vacation!
Miss Shannon has been working hard planning her Candy Land Tea Party, which will be held on Saturday, February 16. Kids 5 and older are welcome to join us for stories, games, crafts, and (of course) candy! You need to register for this program as well;please sign up on our website if you'd like to attend!

It's been a while since I last went to a baseball game, 2 weeks and 2 days to be exact. In the mean time I have been hanging out with family and enjoying the 21st century – yep, I finally have Netflix. I am a huge Arrested Development fan, so of course I decided to try my free trial month when the new "Netflix-only" Arrested Development season 4 came out. But enough about how I capped off the Memorial Day weekend, how about I take you through a pictorial version (in Instagrammed edits) of first half of my weekend…
***Cue old-timey film projector sound…***
I mentioned in my previous ballhawk post – Mother's Day game – that my grandma had breast cancer and that the pink baseballs made me a little emotional when I thought about how I was so lucky to still have my family member who was touched by this disease.
So for Memorial Day weekend I got to travel down to Worthington, MN and visit my grandparents.
Here is a picture with me and my grandma with the pink Mother's Day ball:
Then the whole family took some time to look out the window in the background of the photo above to check out a new family of geese:
A Cemetery, A Permanant Typo, And A Church:
Once we were able to get some lunch and visit for a little bit, we traveled out to the small "towns" of Wilmont and St. Kilian. I have fond memories of these places, since I can remember visiting my great-grandma's farm as a kid and going into "town" in St. Kilian to pick up gummy-worms from a couple named Stan and Sylvia who ran the only store of any kind. The town itself has about a dozen homes, a church (well over 100 years old), a school (which is not used a a school any longer), and a baseball field – which the left-field wall is the wall from the cemetery you will see below:
I have many relatives in this cemetery, including my great-grandmother and even the plot and stone for my grandparents that I was visiting ("that's not eerie at all", he says with heavy sarcasm). Many of the graves here are incredibly old, but my "favorite" is of some distant relative that I never met. I ALWAYS remember this stone, since the crown of thorns is always so incredibly sharp and pointy:
And since many of my relatives, and many of the settlers in this area came directly from Germany, many of the old stones are actually in German. I believe that this is one of the examples (possibly a dual English-German stone), but it is hard to tell since nature is taking it's course:
And lastly, from the cemetery collection, here is a non-family-member's unfortunate gravestone. Maybe it's an inside joke or some sort of humorous thing, but to me it's a bit sad:
Not far away from the cemetery was the church (go figure). This church was the one that my grandparents were wed in, and the one that my great-grandma attended more than any other church. Here's a look at the inside:
Sorry, I do not have a good one of the outside, but let's just say, it's an old wooden-shingled building that has cracking white paint. Up in the choir balcony is a great example of the stained glass that decorates nearly every window of this building:
After we listened to some stories on the ones we have lost (and decorated their stones with flowers) and checked out the quaint old church we did what only felt right… We went ASPARAGUS HUNTING! Since we had over 20 miles to drive to get back to Worthington, we decided to drive the back roads and look in the ditches for wild asparagus. I am not a huge fan, but there is something cool about hunting for your own food and enjoying your reward. In the spirit of any good angler, let's just say I "caught a bunch" – as will be witnessed below.
Here is an example of what we were "hunting" for:
When you are driving slowly and checking out the ditches you will either be looking for dead asparagus bushes (since this is an indicator that there may be some in the area) of for taller "bad" asparagus that may point to smaller, pick-able stalks, like this:
Those are the example of pick-able, here's the example of the "bad" stalks, which are just too mature and grown:
Notice how there is a little bud growing just to the right of the crazy plant? Sometimes if the conditions are just right, the stubs will not receive enough sunlight and produce a white version of asparagus:
It is not perfectly white, but close enough. The white ones will cost you more if you were to buy them at the store… plus, the store bought asparagus is just a different taste even when comparing green to green. Sometimes you get shut-out at your stops, but at least you get to see little things like this:
While other stops are bountiful and fruitful, like this:
We ended up picking well over 5 pounds of asparagus on our way back. In fact, I have some in my fridge at home right now. Cover asparagus in olive oil and sea salt, or in butter and cheese, or wrapped in beef, and you have yourself some good veggies.
In order to bookend this story with baseball (from pink Mother's Day ball to this), here is a photo of a baseball field that takes it's name from a relative of mine. The name of the field is Butts Probst Field, and it's in Wilmont, MN. Yes, his name was Butts Probst; Butts was his nickname, but no one ever knew him by his real name, Lawrence:
So there it is, my Memorial Day in the form of a pseudo-slide-show…
Thanks to my wife, grandparents, and parents for hanging out with me and letting me take some many photos.
PS: Here's a bonus photo from the drive back home from Worthington; it's from St. Peter, MN:
Looks like the Daleks came from Minnesota! (Skaro is a reference from Doctor Who, look it up in the Google-factory.)

Riddick (2013)
My Rating : 3.5/5 STARS
MovieStudio Quote >> "Vin Diesel packs an amazing lost world adventure here involving high end tech and alien predators."
Riddick, the latest chapter of the groundbreaking saga that began with 2000's hit sci-fi film Pitch Black and 2004's The Chronicles of Riddick reunites writer/director David Twohy (A Perfect Getaway, The Fugitive) and star Vin Diesel (the Fast and Furious franchise, xXx). Diesel reprises his role as the antihero Riddick, a dangerous, escaped convict wanted by every bounty hunter in the known galaxy.
The infamous Riddick has been left for dead on a sun-scorched planet that appears to be lifeless. Soon, however, he finds himself fighting for survival against alien predators more lethal than any human he's encountered. The only way off is for Riddick to activate an emergency beacon and alert mercenaries who rapidly descend to the planet in search of their bounty.
The first ship to arrive carries a new breed of merc, more lethal and violent, while the second is captained by a man whose pursuit of Riddick is more personal. With time running out and a storm on the horizon that no one could survive, his hunters won't leave the planet without Riddick's head as their trophy.

Horror injuries of boy, 7, who was doused in nail polish and set on fire by an older boy while playing outside his home
Julien Sandlin was playing outside in Independence, Missouri, on Monday when the altercation occurred, his mum claims
THESE are the horrific injuries a seven-year-old received after a cruel older lad doused him in nail polish remover and set him on fire.
Julien Sandlin was playing outside the family home in Independence, Missouri, on Monday when the altercation occurred, his mum claimed.
Photos shared of a crowdfunding page to raise cash for his treatment show him lying in a hospital bed, eyes shut, with extreme burns on his forehead, across his nose and cheeks, and over an ear.
His mum Ashley Lyons told the Kansas City Star: "My son kept saying 'Stop. What are you doing?'"
She added: "Julien kept telling him to leave him alone and that's when he decided to burn him."
Lyons wasn't home at the time, but said Julien was outside with an older brother and another adult.
She claimed the other boy's mother was present and didn't intervene.
A neighbour wrapped Julien in a wet towel and rolled him on the ground until police and paramedics arrived, the paper reported.
Julien underwent surgery at Children's Mercy Hospital, where he remains.
Lyons told the paper: "It's a very painful process for him.
"There is a lot of anxiety. There is a lot of anger. There is a lot of confusion.
"He's trying to maintain the best that he can, for a seven-year-old."
Julien's grandma said: "We had to reassure him that he was not ugly.
"He's a beautiful baby inside and out. I love my grandson so much, no matter what he looks like."
Police told Lyons on Thursday they were investigating the matter.

Mr. Hanifin's fifth-grade science class discover a big surprise in an owl pellet
Each spring, students in Mr. Hanifin's fifth-grade science classes dissect owl pellets. This spring, student Bradley Rumrill came across a big surprise in his pellet!
Owls cannot chew their foods. They swallow their prey whole, and it passes directly from their mouth to their gizzard, which is a lot like a stomach. Any material that cannot be broken down, or digested, is left behind and packed into a tight pellet that the owl spits up. Owl pellets contain bones, teeth, claws, and feathers.
Because owls swallow their prey whole, often entire intact skulls and skeletons are found inside of the pellets. These give researchers clues as to where the owl has been living and hunting. Fort Plain students typically find the bones and fur of mice, rats, moles, and voles inside of the owl pellets. Sometimes, they find feathers and tiny bones from tiny birds that the owl has eaten. Occasionally, they may find the bones of frogs, toads or snakes.
Fifth-grader Bradley Rumrill recently found the intact skull of a creature that none of Mr. Hanifin's students have ever encountered before. The skull features a long, pointed snout and very sharp, pointed teeth. Information provided by the owl pellet company shows that the pellets our students received were collected in the state of Washington, in the northwest region.
Research by the students has led them to their best guess – a Northern Long-Eared Bat. What do you think the mystery skull is?

Free Bomana Refugees!
EatenFish and How he got to Norway:
Forgive my spelling mistakes 🙂
Nazi concentration camps VS Australia's concentration refugee camps…
What is the difference?
Manus island and the death Angel:
And… the tragedy continues and there is no one to stop it…Another Refugee dies… I mean it is so so sad… But the saddest part is that a few individuals (I do not actually know what to call them) using the situation of the Refugees miserable lives on Manus island to make international Profiles for themselves by sharing information (false and true) with the world…!
I mean where were they when Salim needed real help? They knew he was very sick and they did not share it when they had an easy and fast access to press and they started sharing information now that he is gone…!
Forgive my broken English but let's use our voices to help refugees…
Eaten Fish has been saved.
This is from the ICORN press release:
Award winning Iranian cartoonist Ali Dorani, known as Eaten Fish, has left Papa New Guinea and is now in safety. Dorani has spent the past four years in a refugee detention camp on Manus Island, Papua new Guniea.
"I have left PNG. It was a long journey but I am safe now. I am thinking about my friends in Manus Island and Port Moresby. Thank you to my supporters and people who worked to make this journey happen."
Eaten Fish
You can read the rest of it here.
This page has been kept quiet for reasons that will be apparent to anyone who understands the political situation surrounding Australia's immigration policy.
Getting Eaten Fish off Manus has been a lot of work by a lot of people, a lot of work that should never have been needed. There is much gratitude to everyone involved, especially Eaten Fish who made it! We look forward to Eaten Fish taking over as admin of this page in the coming months.
Many people remain on Manus, and Nauru and in detention in Australia. There is still much work to be done.
Eaten Fish receives Voltaire Award
Each year Liberty Victoria give the Voltaire Empty Chair Award to an outstanding contributor to free speech who is unable to accept it in person. This year it is Eaten Fish "the prize-winning cartoonist and Iranian asylum seeker held on Manus Island for almost four years. His pen name evokes lives relentlessly consumed, expended, chewed up and spat out in the service of Australia's cruel policy of 'deterrence'."

What do you put on your sweet potato fries?
Wyna Tse
wow the food looks so good love the pumpkin sauce + apple combo!! Btw, it seem to me that your dinner is bigger/more filling than your lunch, but I have heard that it's better to keep dinner as the smallest meal of the day as it's close to our sleeping time. What's your thought on it? Appreciate your sharing! 🙂
Megan Davis
Love the salad and protein and side snack pairing in this video and the pumpkin dip with apple
Molly McCausland
how many calories would you think this would be?
annchen weidemann
You had no good protein to go with the meal like chicken or beans, so you 'just' had an egg on the side??? So egg is not good protein?
Emily A
I would love for you to show the brands of things like crackers & hummus and where you bought them, thanks!
Tightt Af
The amount of people in the comments who think they know more than a registered dietitian just cause they watched a few videos makes me laugh
Ayesha Millar
WHATS WITH THE EGG HATE Eggs are not "unhealthy" just because it's not damn vegan doesn't mean it's unhealthy. eggs are a natural source of proteins and healthy fats. And they provide lots of energy!!
Kale comes out of the ground
eggs come out of a chicken
chickens are living
and so is the ground
chicken get trapped in farms
and so does kale
*Determined 2Win*
I'm going to make that apple dip. Yummm 👍😌
Aditi Sapkota
Ooh apple in a salad I've never tried it but sounds good !

Becca, what is the granola you use? Thank you for the wonderful videos.
(COMING FROM A FORMER VEGAN) the diet was hard to maintain and hard to afford vitamins to keep me healthy, having to buy produce every week because it would go bad fast and it was basically all I ate…. It made me feel awful and drained constantly. I now eat everything but junk food, red meat, sugary drinks, and bread. I feel better then I did, and it goes to show that veganism isn't for everyone. So yes, her meals ARE healthy to her, where your version of healthy might be completely different. You're giving yourselves bad reps guys.
According to your code of ethics shouldn't you disclose that you are being sponsored for all those brands?
Jazzmine Burch
That oatmeal is so perfect

Dont yell at me

That Costco salmon is life! I always bake it with veggies (asparagus or broccoli) around it to absorb the juices when baking so they get roasted in it and it's soo delicious!
Raizel Shadez
These vegfans are a bunch of morons the top living humans on the planet yet none of them were vegan, just because your vegan does not mean you are living long, my grand!a died at the age of 100 and she ate meat, while having meat everyday ain't good eating anything daily regardless of healthy or not also ain't good, moderation is key
Wicked Houston
vegans can suck my big meaty dick
Mmmm all your meals look so yummy girlie!!
Cool Intentions
This has nothing to do with food but can you please do an engagement wedding ring video?! Your ring is beautiful!!
trapsoul _queen
she eats 2 breakfasts? that's weird
I'm vegan, but I'm really disappointed with the comment section. Veganism is about being kind to animals, but if you're spreading that message by hurting or putting others down, I think you've taken the wrong approach. We should band together and spread positivity and the vegan message through happiness, not through cruelty!
Kristin Wentworth
Where is that cheetah print bag in the cover pic from? So cute!
Haley Harper
I would hope you're a healthy dietitian
um wtf
wow, i didn't know vegans are rude. guys, you need to stop. you can't do this in that way. if you want people to know animal products are not healthy, you should do it politely, not like that.
Google User
I think you eat that in a year not a day…you look grosely underweight….I hate these false "what I eat in a day videos". you wouldn't be a stick with NO muscle mass
Naomi Ji
You are an ignorant and a terrible dietitian. Sure you are promoting eating plant base eating but you have done literally no research on veganism and done bogus claims to justify the slaughter of animals. So much so you disabled the comment section to your vegan videos. You don't want to be wrong but, obviously you don't want to do your research. There are no benefits to eating meat even in small quantities. As a dietitian you should learn and know this. Heck you should know that the FDA won't label eggs aa healthy nor nutritional beneficial. Fish is full of mercury and hurting the ecosystem. Plus the meat you consume is full of feces and fats that clog up our arteries. I'm studying to be a dietitian and I am ashamed that you parade your medical degree around as a justification to be ignorant and to spread ignorance.

..I think this will be my next video topic! Thank you!

How did you cook the salmon? Seasonings? Time and temp?

VEGANS NEED TO CALM THE HELL DOWN. if they want to eat plants all their lives and beans, that's fine – just don't go round and imposing their views on other people!

How to Plan a Kitchen Remodel
Posted in Kitchen Remodel on July 7, 2018
Considering breaking ground on your fantasy kitchen? We can't blame you – visions of cooking with family, entertaining friends, and dazzling loved ones with a brand new, state-of-the-art kitchen are hard to resist. You aren't alone. According to the National Association of Home Builders, the kitchen remains the most popular room to remodel. For good reason, too. Kitchens are considered the heart of the home, often used more regularly than any other shared space and while a costly renovation, can often bring in 60-70% ROI. Before you order that professional range or swear off your existing cabinetry, let's break down the key steps to planning a kitchen renovation to ensure that you and your family have the kitchen – and remodel – of your dreams.
Step One: Budget & Scope of Work
You've decided on a kitchen remodel, you've gotten your family on board, you've set your budget, and you're already anxious to wander the stainless steel appliance aisle. Wait just a second. Setting a budget and scope of work for any remodel is a crucial first step, ensuring that you're able to provide your professional team with a clear vision.
Keep in mind that the average cost of an upscale kitchen remodel can run homeowners upwards of $80,000 but that there are three factors to help you determine just how much you should spend.
- Take a look at your finances. How much can you afford to spend?
- How long are you planning to stay in the house? If you're looking to sell in the next five years, consider this remodel an improvement and only spend what you think you will get back when you sell
- If you plan on staying in your home long term, you should focus on a remodel that will give you and your family the most enjoyment out of the space
Step Two: Identify What You Love (and Hate) about Your Kitchen
Now that you've got an idea of how much you can spend on your kitchen remodel, you can begin to explore what options you have. Your kitchen should reflect lifestyle that best suits you and your family. If you aren't sure what your ideal kitchen looks like, begin first by asking yourself questions that can best shed light on your kitchen's 'must-haves'. Begin to notice what you love about your current kitchen, and what absolutely drives you crazy. Those are key qualities to consider when planning your kitchen remodel. Take a look at our questions below to begin shaping your ideal kitchen remodel:
- How many people live in your home?
- Who cooks?
- What type of cooking happens in your kitchen? Gourmet, baking, entertaining, microwave or easy weeknight dinners?
- Do you store the majority of your groceries in a fridge or pantry?
- How do you entertain? How often do you entertain?
- What appliances do you use daily?
- What do you rarely use?
- What do you love about your current kitchen?
- What do you hate about your current kitchen?
Step Three: Identify What Style Kitchen Best Suits Your Lifestyle
It's crucial to consider that the real value of a kitchen remodel comes from the improvement of how the kitchen functions for you, your family, and your lifestyle. Maybe you'd love to use the space to entertain friends and loved ones with elaborate dinner parties? Maybe you'd get the most enjoyment from family time spent in the kitchen, pets and all? Maybe you'd like the space to practice your culinary prowess. Below, we've broken down three popular styles of kitchens.
Family Friendly Kitchen
Family-focused kitchens can provide you and yours endless enjoyment. While both gourmet and entertaining kitchens can be customized with family-friendly features, you may have identified that your dream kitchen functions best for your entire family. Whether it's accommodating children, providing ample space for a parent to organize meals and activities, or even make room for family pets to eat in the kitchen. When selecting a family-friendly kitchen style, it's important to note that a remodel should last at least 10 years, so you will want the layout, functionality and appliances you select to best suit that span, as well. Many family-friendly kitchens include these popular features:
- Accessible pantry – pantry cabinets with fully extending drawers make it that much easier for all members of the family, including children, to reach the contents
- Easy-to-clean surfaces – consider quartz surfaces (as opposed to the incredibly porous natural stone selections) for easy clean up. If you're concerned about wear and tear, quartz cushions impact better than granite, and glass tile is not shock absorbent.
- Island – this multi-use space can serve as a snack bar, dining area, or even a place for children to do homework while you are cooking family meals
Gourmet Kitchen
If you've set your sets on a gourmet kitchen, let's talk details! Most gourmet style kitchens are equipped with professional appliances, ample storage for specialty items and designed with the cook in mind! While gourmet kitchens can be made to fit the needs of any homeowner, consider these popular features:
- Professional-grade range – many gourmet cooks prefer gas ranges and most often can be found in standard size of 30 inches wide – something to consider
- Double oven – hey, two is better than one, right? Especially for the gourmet cook or entertainer
- Double dishwasher – a wonderful addition to any kitchen, specifically those who often cook intricate meals or entertain heavily
- Warming drawer – designed to protect the moisture and temperature of food so that you can keep it at temperature until serving, avoiding the need to reheat it
Entertaining Kitchen
You're hosting the party! Specifically, in your kitchen. How many dinner parties have you hosted, or attended, where it felt like the entire guest list ended up in the kitchen? A crowd seems to always congregate to the heart of the home: the kitchen. The goal with any kitchen remodel to design a space that functions and meets the needs of you and your family. Entertaining style kitchens can be customized to fit any homeowner's specifics, but consider these popular features:
- Double dishwashers – a secondary dishwasher, whether a drawer configuration, half size, or full size can make clean up a breeze
- Warming drawers – a must for serious entertainers, designed to keep food warm and at a servable temperature
- Raised countertops – consider an island or peninsula with raised countertops to hide dishes, serve as a cooking station, and provide a surface for guests to gather
- Point-of-service refrigeration – consider refrigerator drawers and units like wine coolers that will give you and your guests easier access to beverages and food
Step Four: Find Your Pros
While kitchen remodels are high on many homeowner's wish list, most everyone has heard a handful of 'horror stories' that are enough to give anyone pause. Blown budgets, crushed timelines, the works. Selecting the right professional contractor and team for your kitchen remodel isn't just crucial for your kitchen's sake, but yours – and your budgets – as well. Choosing the right contractor sounds daunting, but when it comes to assessing and comparing different San Diegan remodeling contractors, be sure you look at each company's ratings on sites like: Angie's List and the Better Business Bureau. Don't be shy – request to speak with any previous customers or referrals, ensuring that you get an idea of how reliable, communicative, detail-oriented, and 'on-time' the team was.
Consider bringing in an experienced designer who can help you save time, money, and heartache. Their job is to walk you through all the questions that may be keeping you up at night like: How do I maximize storage in the kitchen? Is there a smarter substitution for that ridiculously priced wolf range? Remember that the pro's are here to help you: they don't just manage your project from start to finish, they can walk you through space planning, permits, budgets, selecting fixtures and finishes, ordering products, helping you set up a temporary kitchen should you need one, and beyond.
Step Five: Get Started!
You've got your vision, you've got your budget, you've got your 'must-haves' and focus of functionality, you've got your pro's – you're on your way. When it comes to planning out your San Diego home's kitchen remodel, remember that elevating the space for maximum enjoyment and functionality for you and your family is key. Breaking ground on a kitchen remodel is no small undertaking, but with proper planning and qualified professionals, you'll be making memories in your new kitchen for years to come.

Is it possible to manually start logging with the RC Track?
It looks like it will only record the session when in dashboard mode.
RC Track How To: Analysis
So if I got the Rasperry PI dashboard, is it possible to configure a little touchscreen virtual button to start recording?
It would be kind of nice to be able to manually start recording when just driving around, and not have the auto recording triggering every time I mashed the loud pedal
Otherwise, I'm thinking I could connect a digital switch to my ECU since it has a lap trigger input, which the ECU then puts on CAN. So I could then read that CAN signal and use it to start/and stop recording.

day 1❤
norgestur is finally here! We all waited the whole year for this trip, one last celebration together before the tears start to fall about going home. A lot of other countries in Europe that you can pick for exchange make a europe tour, but since we aren't that many exchange students and we're a bit far away from the rest of europe it's a lot better and sensible for us just to have a norway tour. Not to mention, Norway is probably the prettiest country on the planet so we can't really complain getting to travel around it for 10 days.
To start off the trip, we waited in Oslo at a hostel for the other exchange students. it was super hot (as it's been the entire past month here) & eating a lot of icecream became a bit of a habit on the trip.
Once everybody arrived, we took public transportation into the city to an area called frogner where we had dinner on a piano composer's rooftop. We had barbecue, and this was the perfect start to the trip. We just spent the night hanging out on the roof and catching up with eachother. before we left the composer played us some music on the piano, and I'll never forget looking around and seeing everybody so entranced by the music- the only time I've heard the group be quiet for more than 5 seconds.
We took the bus back again (and made some new friends on the way), then played ping pong and hung out, and some people even slept outside on the grass because it was so warm. It was the perfect start to what was probably the best trip of my life, with my best friends.

- 1 pound of pork chops (about 4 chops)
- 8 ounce-bag of medium-size shrimp, uncooked and peeled
- 1 white or yellow onion
- 1 20 oz package of spring roll wrappers (rice paper) Peanut oil
1. Chop onion in half. Then slice into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces.
2. Cut pork chops into 3/4-inch pieces. One pork chop should make at least 16 pieces.
3. Take spring roll wrapper and wet both sides with cool water. Place wrapper on a clean non-stick surface, like a countertop or on a plate.
4. Place one to two slices of pork, 1 shrimp and a few pieces of onion into wrapper. Fold bottom of wrapper 1/5 the way up, with the mix tucked in. Then fold sides of wrapper. Roll together, like you would a burrito. Continue to make spring rolls until desire amount.
5. Heat oil to a medium-high temperature.
6. Fry spring rolls in oil until lightly golden brown on one side (about 2-3 minutes), then flip to cook other side. Be careful to not overstuff the pan, as the spring rolls will stick.
7. When finished frying, place spring rolls on cooling rack, with newspaper underneath to absorb oil.
These spring rolls taste great alone, but do pair well with soy sauce or sweet and sour dipping sauce. To reheat, bake spring rolls on cookie sheet for 10 minutes in 350 degree-oven.
- 3 cups of uncooked rice
- 3 eggs
- 1 onion, chopped
- 1 pork loin, marinated and cooked in Chinese BBQ mix or canned ham (not spam)

1. Prepare rice as indicated on package. Set aside.
2. Heat oil in large skillet or pot. Sauté onions until translucent.
3. Whisk onions and add to onion mix. Add peas and carrots. Scramble mixture.
4. Add pork or ham and shrimp to mix. Then, fold in cooked rice.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste. (You can use soy sauce, but if so, omit the salt. Soy sauce has plenty of sodium.)
YIELD: About 6 servings
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/3 cup vinegar
- 2/3 cup water
- 1/4 cup ketchup
- 2 Tbsp soy sauce
- 2 Tbsp cornstarch
- 3 Tbsp water
1. Combine sugar, vinegar, 2/3 cup water, ketchup and soy sauce together in medium saucepan. Boil.
2. Remove from heat.
3. Mix together cornstarch and remaining water. Gradually stir into saucepan mix.
4. Continue stirring until mix thickens
NOTE: I like to add pineapple juice or tidbits to this mix, if I have any on hand. It gives the sauce a little bit more personality. Also, this recipe stores well in the fridge, but I would recommend using within a month.
YIELD: About 2 cups of sauce

Tips about Eavestrough Cleaning and Repair that You Should Know About
Eavestrough are gutters that are fixed beneath the edge of your roof. Practically in the seasons of spring, fall and winter, it is a good time to pay extra close attention to your eavestrough and conduct some cleaning. After the winter season for example, you will see some debris and particles that are caught in your eavestrough. It is also advisable that you pay extra attention to your eavestrough during the fall season as fallen leaves and dirt get clogged in this area and in your downspouts too. When winter to spring seasons would be over, you would have potential damages of your property if these clogs will not be taken away after the fall season. In order to remove and clean the eaves, it would come in handy to have a bucket, a brush and a hose to help you do the cleaning job.
With the use of a bucket, the big debris you have collected by hand will be placed inside. With the use of brush, you can scrub the hardened debris that could be stored in the eaves, and then you can remove these matters and make the eaves free from clogs again. You can then wash the eaves down once you have completed clearing the eaves, just be careful no debris is left that will go to the downspouts for this will create clogging in the main drainage.
The maintenance of your eaves is better to be done every spring and fall seasons so that this area of your house will work at their optimum performance. Note that clogged leaves can fail and cause damage to your roof structure because of its weight, and the failure to clean up your eaves could result to leaks that would overflow and damage your lawn, patio, garden and so on.
You are also reminded to be careful not to apply downward force as you perform cleaning since this can cause damage on your eaves too.
It is claimed, and this may come as a surprise to us, that the number one reason why eavestrough is having problems is because of an incorrect or faulty installation of this part of your house. This is because to mount eavestrough, it is said to take a precise skill to do it, that not even contractors have the talent always.
A reliable company that specializes in eavestrough would usually advise their clients to pay more attention to these rain gutters. It will be emphasized to the customer by the company specializing in eavestrough to give them a call when a customer detects a problem, since this company has the necessary skilled staff and equipment that can inspect, and conduct cleaning and repair of the defective eavestrough.
It is thus advisable that you have your eavestrough protected and cleaned regularly so that you will avoid big damages on this part of your house.

Game Instructions:
In this game, everything is about patience and concentration. You will be faced with many puzzle game that require you to solve them as fast as possible. There are the ones where you need to find differences in two pictures. For each found difference, you will get points, but if you miss, you will lose points. There are also puzzles in which you have to rotate the pieces to create the whole picture. Every level contains a picture of two people having sex in many different poses, and you have to find every mistake in it. Everything is controlled with left click on your mouse, so there won't be any hard controls.
Game Description:
Among all the online games in which you search for the differences between two given pictures, the Sexy Chick Puzzled 2 is probably the best. This game has a very interesting gameplay, which is not hard (or in other words - frustrating), but is still challenging enough for you to keep coming back to it. And the gameplay is certainly not the only thing that you like here - these pictures that have differences that you have to find are the most erotic ones, rewarding you with some pretty arousing scenes each time you get to the next level. The first of them, for example, brings you the scene in which one beautiful, blue-haired girl gets banged by her mysterious lover in the doggy style position. Her name is Princess Gianna, and since her father, who is the king of this land, never allowed her to experience the joys of the teenage penetration, she found herself a secret guy who gives her a good pounding every other night. It is pretty obvious that she enjoys this - Gianna moans and screams as her lover provides her with the deep exploration of her vaginal depths, with the girl's ass shaking up and down as he pushes his humongous cock in and out of her sweet pussy. The next scene that's featured in the Sexy Chick Puzzled 2 is that of Ellena giving a nice blowjob to her lover. She is, just like Gianna, a daughter of the ruler, and that ruler is, this time, the King of the forest. He wants Ellena to keep her virginity until she gets old enough to get married to whomever her father wishes so, but this blonde beauty is too much horny to do something like that and has fun with one of her male friends every time the King leaves the forest. Nothing brings her greater pleasure than having her own face decorated with her friend's sticky load, and that is why she always requires of him to give her a nice facial cumshot every time the pounding session finishes. And she has to be really careful with all of these things because if she gets caught in the act, the father will have her friend beheaded and Ellena will be imprisoned for the rest of her teenage days. The third scene in the Sexy Chick Puzzled 2 is the most interesting one so far - we have yet another princess, and she is the horniest of them all. Katie is the Duke's daughter who just loves to engage in the double penetration session whenever she can, inviting two of her favorite lovers to come to her bedroom and provide her with long, muscular cocks. In this scene, Katie is impaling her shaved pussy onto the humongous dick while at the same time sucking another schlong with the greatest passion and pleasure. One dick simply isn't enough for her - Katie needs two! If you keep playing this game, you will be rewarded by many more such scenes, all of them truly arousing and sexy. So, go one and play the Sexy Chick Puzzled 2!

Thank you MadDoc for your response, I appreciate you taking the time to answer my question it was helpful.
Hi guys, I'm a first timer here and I really need some help with this. I did shrooms 3 times over a 3-4 week span, I dont remember the exact time period (this was a little over a month ago like in april). Im prescribed vyvanse which I take daily and the only other things ive done are drink and smoke weed. Anyways, after my last shroom trip everything was fine and i haven't done it since but i do drink all the time. about two days ago i smoked weed for the first time in two months and i saw the letters on my phones keyboard dramatically wiggling and getting bigger and smaller while i was high. This has never happened to me before when i have smoked, I have only ever seen this when im on shrooms so this freaked me out because of what ive read on hppd. The next day I was watching tv and noticed that words on the screen were wiggling a little bit. Ever since then, every time I focus on a words or letters for too long, I see them subtly wiggling, it comes and goes and it has been improving over the past few days and its pretty much gone now. its nothing too bad and I wouldn't notice it unless i really stare at them but im afraid it might get worse over time and I'm starting med school in two months. what makes this weird is that Ive read of hppd happening and then getting better shortly after a trip but my thing started a month after. The good thing is that I dont see static, visual snow, or any of that other stuff, just a subtle letter wiggling. I was thinking that i had it the whole time but i didnt notice until i smoked but what is weird is that i drink all the time and it never made it worse or even apparent at all to the point that i didnt notice I even had anything but weed did. Is it possible that weed may have triggered a mild form of hppd from previous shroom use? Also im prescribed vyvanse which i take every day and i have noticed that i dont see things wiggle when im on it, which is weird becuase Ive read everywhere that stimulants make it worse. What worries me is that I need Vyvanse for school and cant stop taking it and according to what I have read amphetamines worsen HPPD. Im not sure if I have it or not and since hppd is not very well understood im not sure whats going on. At such a critical point in my life this is kind of freaking me out so I would appreciate if those who may have experience with this kind of stuff would help shed some light on what is going on. I apologize if I sound dumb and don't mean to disrespect those who truly have it but this is making me really nervouse and don't know who else to ask. As far as when I smoked weed that time it was different than other times and I didn't like that the letters kept getting bigger and smaller because weed doesn't do that. Thank you for your help guys.

Compositional Conversation: Stage Three
Comments by Beth Carney
I was very excited about being asked to participate in this project, loving the idea of having this conversation between the piece and the artists involved. All too often I struggle with creating a section of work that I love and then get stuck because I love it too much. Once I get rid of the concept of how precious it is, freedom sets in and then the work really begins to take shape. I felt this conversation would be a perfect step on that journey that forces the artist to keep the conversation alive and dancing.
I received the work on Saturday and on Sunday was busy for hours playing and creating. The first laugh was when I looked at the blog of Terry and Rebecca's comments and realized that when I placed the piece on my design wall, it was upside down to what they presented! Who knew??? (Beth received and began working on the project before the first images were posted.)
The shapes presented were large and flowing, but I wanted to connect them trying to create more depth as well as play with the positive and negative space possibilities they created. I did not want to remove anything because they did seem to be taking with each other, they seemed to want to be closer and so the red shape began to move all around the canvas till I found its home, which turned out to be exactly where it started. I rarely work in solids anymore, with the belief that more is more...so out came the hand dyes and I created intersecting lines. Since I usually piece, I used Rebecca's freezer paper idea and attached the long lines with freezer paper so that could be moved around without falling apart.
I stepped back and thought I was done until I woke up this morning and found that I just had to break up the space more by adding the large black shape on the left. Each element seems to connect yet show individual voices.
Can't wait to see what happens next.
I love Beth's revelation concerning the positioning of the "top" of the work. Those of us who work with abstract compositions know that a tried and true way of "testing" a piece to see if it is balanced is to turn it and observe the results. I guess Rebecca and I did alright. I also appreciate the introduction of types of materials Beth loves and works with in her own pieces. They add a new twist and a new layer of complexity. Many thanks to you Beth for your participation and involvement in this project. Read on for more about Beth and her work.
For the past 8 years I have been exploring the fusion of my 2 worlds: visual and performing art, in a series of works called Structured Chaos. My love of color, movement, architecture all combine into these projects as I explore line and shape. They are inspired by the world around me, sometimes based on nature, architecture, places and personal experiences.

Woohoo, go Beth! I applaud your additions to the composition. I, too, love that you shared the story of hanging it "upside down." I think that was a great moment of serendipity.ReplyDelete
How interesting about the orientation - now that's what makes these conversations so intriguing. To me, the intimate conversation has become more global with your additions, Beth. I am also really drawn to the negative space created by using the black.ReplyDelete
Hey Beth, nice job! I love the addition of the black fragment which cooperates nicely with the other two pieces added previously, but also I love the use of your hand-dyeds, too, because they bring tension and movement to the piece. LOVELY!ReplyDelete
This is so exciting!
Hi Beth, the use of the black fabric and those interesting strips that look like a discharged black fabric add a great deal to this developing work. And how fascinating that you reoriented it. I do have a question as to why you chose to crop the black fabric inside the junction between the green and red shapes so that sliver of blue/grey is still evident? My eye seems to draw to that tiny sharp straight edge division between the edge of the black and the edge of the blue/gray at that juncture. Part of me sees that it repeats the straight edges of both the red piece and the green piece; another part of me finds that tiny break disturbing. Perhaps that was your intention.ReplyDelete
What a wonderful concept, which plays upon the early concept of the 'quilting bee.' I'm loving how each addition is showing the unique flavor of each artist but also, so far, is creating a depth to the piece itself. I'm looking forward to seeing this piece progress.ReplyDelete
Beth, isn't it fun when you discover something while you are working, ie. the position of the piece and your relation to it. How exciting!
- AnonymousAugust 24, 2009 at 3:18 PM
Love reading all these comments. It really was fun to play with. Jeanne, I played around with where to end the black shape and decided not to make it predicable and cover up all the gray especially in that little corner. When I stepped back and looked I felt like it was a more organic looking shape that went with Terry's and Rebecca's shape. I alsowWas trying not to make it look like just background. It actually was a hard decision to make.ReplyDelete
I did not actually cut all of the black. It is folded over on the bottom and left side so that if anyone wanted to add to the shape or shift it around they could. The pieced lines were from fabrics where I used low immersian gradations of different black dyes.
This is so interesting. I looked hard at that one area and wondered if I would have handled it differently. However, Beth's decision really allows the red, chartruease and black shapes to be very independent.ReplyDelete
When I came back and looked at the piece again tonight, I seemed more tuned in to the continuity of the black rectangular shape and my eye wasn't troubled this time about those areas where all the different colors intersect. And I like hearing that you considered this little junction and made an intentional choice, Beth. Somehow I felt that you did and that I needed to consider it as one. Isn't it interesting how one detail of a piece seems to dominate when we look at it one time and we get a whole other impression of it on the next viewing? What I love most that seems to be coming out of the first three choices is a great feeling of respect -- for the work and for the other artists involved. There's an intimacy that I feel from and with this work that seems to be growing, as though the work itself is becoming as much about connectivity as it may be about compositional choices.ReplyDelete

WAUKEGAN -- Consumers Credit Union has created "Sharing & Caring," a new program designed to provide a more personal level of outreach and engagement with members.
The spirit of the Sharing & Caring program is to give back to the communities CCU serves by recognizing the acts of kindness demonstrated by those who play an important role in members' lives. CCU kicked off Sharing & Caring in March by acknowledging "Classroom Heroes," recognizing educators who had a profound impact on members, followed by a Mother's Day tribute in May. Next on the schedule is a Father's Day promotion in June, followed by a Future Leaders/"dorm room makeover" event in midsummer, recognizing those heading to college in the fall. Future ideas under consideration are "Worthy Warriors" in conjunction with Veterans Day in November and recognizing "First Responders" in front of the winter holidays in December.
"The primary goal of our new program is to acknowledge the special events and people in our members' communities and in their lives," said Digital Marketing Manager Eric Shriey. "Sharing & Caring provides a platform to honor and celebrate these people and events through our social media channels, consistent with the way people communicate with each other in the digital age."
Winners of Consumers Credit Union's Mother's Day Sharing & Caring promotion can be found on CCU's Facebook page at

Actor Shahid Kapoor and filmmaker Shree Narayan Singh, who are currently working towards capping off their first collaboration Batti Gul Meter Chalu, have decided to continue their association and reteam for a new project.
Yes, Shahid will headline the cast of Singh's next film which is currently at the scripting stage. Before commencing work on the untitled project, the Haider (2014) star will complete two of his upcoming films: one is the Hindi remake of Telugu hit Arjun Reddy (2017) and the second one being an untitled sports movie with director Raja Krishna Menon.
Talking about the same, a source revealed, "The project will go on the floors sometime next year after Shahid wraps up the shoot of Sandeep Reddy Vanga's Arjun Reddy remake and Raja Krishna Menon's sports film where he plays a boxer. Shree Narayan's film is a thriller set in Uttar Pradesh and the details of the shoot are currently under works."
When director Singh was contacted, he confirmed the project. Spilling some beans, he said, "The story is based in the heartland of India. Once the script is ready we will decide when to go on the floors but it will be in 2019 as Shahid has to fulfil all prior commitments as well before starting my film. I can promise that it's a story no one has attempted before and we are planning it in great detail. Shahid and I are friends now and share a certain comfort level and we luckily found the perfect script."
Also starring Shraddha Kapoor and Yami Gautam in lead roles, Batti Gul Meter Chalu enters cinemas on 31st August, 2018.

Washington D.C. [U.S.A.], Feb 25 (ANI): Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard has said that she is feeling relaxed and happy after her lawsuit settlement with the United States Tennis Association (USTA) that runs the US Open.
Bouchard took to Twitter to say, "After 2.5 years, my lawsuit against the USTA is finally over."
The 23-year-old recently won the liability phase of the trial where she testified about suffering a head injury after slipping on a wet locker room floor at the 2015 US Open due to dim lights.
The Canadian sued the USTA after six weeks of her slip and also pulled out from all the events of the tournament and also did not participate in any match for the rest of that season.
The jury found the USTA bore 75 percent of the responsibility for Bouchard's fall, reported the New York Times.
February 24, 2018
"The jury found the USTA as negligent and liable for the accident. After the verdict, the USTA and I came to a settlement agreement," Bouchard said in a statement on Twitter.
"I feel happy, relieved and vindicated," she added. (ANI)
