Brahman incident 2003
From Music-China Wiki
Brahman incident 2003, an occurrence during the Midi Music Festival 2003
On 2 October 2003 at the Midi Music Festival, just after the presenter introduced that the next band – "Brahman" was from Japan, the audiences started to swear and shout loudly. When the Brahman band got on the stage and started to test their musical instruments, water bottles were immediately thrown at them from the audience. The bassist was totally soaked, and had to get off the stage to change his T-shirt. The presenter walked to the front of the stage, and tried to calm down the audience, but before he spoke, a water bottle hit him on his face and broke his glasses. When the performance started, an egg hit the vocalist on his head, but the vocalist just wiped it away and carried on his performance. The strange thing is that many of those angry audience members later cheered the performance of Brahman. A young man almost fought with a Japanese fan who wore a "Beijing Punk" T-shirt, but after a conversation, they hugged each other and enjoyed the performance together.[1]
Criticism on the fans' reaction
Opposing those fans, rockers and rock critics strongly criticised fans' improper behaviour. The headmaster of the Midi Music School – Zhang Fan claimed that what happened to the Japanese band was a failure of the Midi Music Festival[1].
"Freedom, equality, peace, and tolerance all these essential issues advocated by rock spirit are abandoned by this group of youth. The loss of essential rock spirit is linked to the status quo of a commercialised social environment of China… The angry youth can be divided into two groups: the warm-blooded and the cold-blooded. The warm-blooded rock fans are mainly in their thirties and some in their twenties who understand social responsibilities, have their own moral standards and clear minds. The cold-blooded rock fans are the very young generations who rely on financial supports from their parents. Their angers are aimless. They just like to show off. Consequently, when they need to undertake responsibilities and identify social values, they are very fragile… In a commercialised society where the majority of people are senseless, anger should be a meaningful response rather than this kind of showoff attitude. Regarding the unfair treatment of the Japanese band, I can clearly feel that some people are very childish, and this incident is influenced by current opinion of the press."[2]
Yan Jun takes this incident more seriously, and insists this incident is the shame of October[1]:
"The people who are really humiliated by the incident are the whole of us – the so-called loyal Chinese rock fans… Our dreamful utopia, love and belongingness were shattered at that moment… The devil inside us used blindness and hatred to tear the beautiful dream, and showed the world our inside emptiness and puzzlement… We experienced the break of dream in surprise. That kind of feeling is exactly the sadness."[3]

Review and System Construction of Chinese Food Security in the New Era

Food is related to the national economy and people's livelihood. Food security is the "ballast stone" that maintains social stability and is an important foundation for national security. With the vigorous advancement of Chinese industrialization, urbanization, modernization, and informatization, Chinese food security and development are in trouble in the new era. There are ecological environmental pollution and declining quality of cultivated land, resource shortage and rigid growth of demand, insufficient subsidies and limited production scale and other issues. These problems will lead to a growing gap in grain supply and demand year by year, which to some extent restricts the sustainability of grain supply. At the same time, these problems have "crowding out effect" on grain scale production. Therefore, this paper analyzes the foothold, point of view, focus point and equilibrium point of Chinese food security strategy and grasp Chinese food security strategy from a macro perspective. On this basis, it makes a rational review of Chinese food security issues in the new era. A guarantee system is constructed based on the improvement of farmland protection system, the development of grain through science and education, the development of grain through ecology, use of two market resources, and increased subsidies, to ensure the long-term, stable and sustained security of Chinese grain.

On The National nightly newscast yesterday, a small feature was based on politics in video games. This follows on from Far Cry 5's reveal, with people commenting that Ubisoft's game has a political theme based on its setting and backstory.
Reggie Fils-Aime was interviewed briefly, and gave Nintendo's stance on politics in video games. "Making political statements are for other people to do," he said. "We want people to smile and have fun when they play our games."
So, it looks like Nintendo won't be getting involved in politics within their titles any time soon. Given that Nintendo is typically a family friendly company, it would make sense for them to avoid such subjects.

Spotlight on North Port Alberni
Posted by Dave Koszegi on Wednesday, November 15th, 2017 at 1:31pm.
When buyers are looking to purchase a home, they are looking at more than what appliances are in the kitchen, or how much storage space there is – perhaps you've heard it before; location, location, location!
As well as purchasing the actual home, home buyers are buying a lifestyle; which is greatly influenced by the entire neighbourhood. For this reason, different neighbourhoods attract different types of buyers.
Port Alberni has a "twin city" status; natural ravines – Rogers Creek and Dry Creek –which break up the city into South Port Alberni and North Port Alberni. Each "city" gives residents unique landscapes, amenities and property types. In the valley, you will also hear people talk about "upper and lower" parts of North and South Alberni. Since Port Alberni is built on a hill, this mention of upper and lower references the part of the hill. Typically, house values will tend to increase as you go up the hill, and will decrease in the lower portions.
Today, we are drilling down and taking an in-depth look at the up-and-coming neighbourhoods and new developments within North Port Alberni.
Cherry Creek
One of the leading rural areas in North Alberni is Cherry Creek, where residents enjoy small acreages and a peaceful way of life. Cherry Creek is not too far from town and is home to the Alberni Golf Club. This area showcases prestige homes and typically attracts an affluent homebuyer.
Luxford Development on Tomswood Road
The Luxfords are a newer development near Cheery Creek, offering homeowners affordable real estate in this area. It is a perfect location for first-time homebuyers and young families. These three bedroom, two bath ranchers have been built with all the extras, including a central stone fireplace, hand scraped laminate floors, modern open floor plan with top quality decor and finishing, plus a new home warranty! See here.
Beaver Creek
Beaver Creek is also one of the rural locations in North Port Alberni. A bit further from town, Beaver Creek is near the Alberni Valley Regional Airport, as well as many outdoor activities, like hiking and mountain biking. Stamp River Provincial Park and Sproat Lake are just a quick drive away from Beaver Creek.
Klitsa is an outdoor enthusiasts paradise! Klitsa Road, near Klitsa Mountain and Sproat Lake, is the perfect place to live if you love to hike, boat and fish. Klitsa Mountain is one of the most beautiful day hikes on Vancouver Island. This area offers a rural and rugged way of life, but just a 20-minute drive to amenities downtown Port Alberni.
Westporte Place
Located along the northwest side of town near the inlet, Westporte Place offers premier homes for families seeking a safe, high-end neighbourhood. Homes here are an excellent price for value and offer spacious fenced yards backing wooded land. Westporte Place has close proximity to schools, including Gill Elementary and Neill Middle School, and the Port Alberni downtown center is a close drive away.
Browse some of the homes available in the beautiful North Port Alberni neighbourhoods here.
If you have any questions or you're curious about the neighbourhoods and developments in North Port Alberni, give the Dave Team a call at 250-723-7653 to get started on your real estate search!

From PsychWiki - A Collaborative Psychology Wiki
Tversky and Kahneman argue that people rely on a common set of heuristic principles when internally estimating probabilities to support judgment. Although these heuristics often lead to directionally correct and useful answers, certain predictable and severe systematic errors sometimes occur as a result of these heuristics.
This classic paper was among the first to expose predictable fallacies in human judgment processes while also providing strong empirical evidence for the existence and nature of the rules which lead to these fallacies, thus heavily influencing subsequent research in decision making theory.

Although many people continue to smoke, smoking is a well known bad habit and is not good for your health and which keeps on draining your bank account for no good reason. The reason why many people find it difficult to stop smoking is that the cigarettes they take, contain nicotine, which is very powerful addictive substance, which usually gives smokers a hard time in withdrawing from smoking due to its side effects. In addition, as much as the habit of smoking is physical, it is also psychological, in that those who manage to quit, will sometimes find that they are missing out on actual actions of smoking, social life, and how they used to take a break in their work to smoke for few minutes.
Replacing the habit of smoking with something else that you love doing is one of the best ways to quit smoking; by doing this, you will find that you have shifted your mind from the cravings of smoking and instead the time that you could have been using smoking, you are doing something constructive and healthy.
Below are some of the best habits that you can adopt to see that you have completely quit smoking.
1. Vaping could help you.
Among the available methods of quitting smoking, the most popular is use of nicotine replacements therapies. There are available types of nicotine replacement therapies that smokers who are trying to quit can use and not have to experience the awful effect of nicotine withdrawal. Bearing the fact that nicotine in small amounts is not bad to your health, it is, therefore, safer to use other alternatives like nicotine patches, lozenges, and sprays to help you beat the habit of smoking. Vaping will be a great idea on your road to recovery if you are still finding it difficult to quit smoking.
The electric cigarettes work the same way with the standard cigarettes in that you can hold the vape in your hand, inhale and exhale just as you do with the tobacco cigarettes, but the good thing here is that you will not get the health problems that come from tobbacco. The e-juice that comes from the vape comes in different concentration of nicotine which allows the users to start vaping with highest nicotine level to make sure that they will not notice the switch from tobacco smoking. As you continue and get used to vaping, you can then start reducing the amount of nicotine that is in your e-juice to help wean your body off the drug for some time, and then make it possible to stop relying on smoking.
2. Take a bath.
Another great way to overcome cigarette addiction is by taking a warm bath which will help you relax and unwind. It is very effective especially if you are craving for a cigarette due to stress, and the freshness that you get after showering will be good for you.

Heater- Cooler Devices used in cardiac surgery rammangal|
A global outbreak of Mycobacterium chimaera, an invasive, slow-growing bacterium, is linked to Heater-cooler Devices (HCD) used in cardiac surgery, according to a study published today in Infection Control & Hospital Epidemiology, the journal of the Society for Healthcare Epidemiology of America. This study adds interim guidance to recent field reports on the outbreak, providing precautionary recommendations to hospitals and health systems to reduce the risk of infections.
"It is surprising that a global outbreak like this could go unnoticed for years. This dangerous infection has put many patients at risk all over the world," said Rami Sommerstein, MD, of Inselspital, Bern University Hospital in Switzerland, the lead author of the study. "Now that we know HCDs are the source, individual action from the different players (healthcare institutions, manufacturers, etc.) is needed to contain the ongoing patient risk. The most important action a hospital can take is to remove contaminated HCDs from the operating room and other critical areas. That is the only way to ensure that patients are protected from this infection moving forward."

With work under way to roll-out the Managed Print Service (MPS) across the Faculty it's important that you have a new M-PASS Monash ID Card. Most of you should have received one in the mail at your nominated address over the past 6 months or so.
However we know that not all staff received one. If you don't have one head over to your nearest Monash Connect counter and have one printed for you on the spot.
The new cards are also required to gain access to buildings and secure areas.

Your bank's been acquired: Should you stay?
Consolidation is a common occurrence in the banking industry — regardless of what's going on with the economy. If the bank or credit union you've been doing business with for years is acquired, it could result in some notable adjustments to what you are used to.
Normally, change to any aspect of people's finances causes all sorts of stress, but people tend to shrug when it comes to a change in bank ownership.

It made me so nostalgic for Peru, all the dances and the places.

Everyone seems to have so much music in them.

Brindisi is running against a Republican incumbent in a district that President Trump won by 15.3 points. Brindisi has received helped from national Democrats, including a major recent advertising blitz announced by the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.
"We signed a commitment to civility, which I've upheld," Tenney said. "And in that commitment we have said that we would endeavor to introduce bills that were bipartisan. I have yet to introduce a bill that isn't bipartisan. In fact, my staff gets frustrated sometimes because they want to put a bill out, and if I don't have a Democratic co-sponsor, we don't put it out. We amend the language, we work with Democrats to make sure every single bill I put out is bipartisan. I don't have to do that 'cause we're in the majority, I do that because I think it's important to represent all interests. I know what it's like to be in an elected office where I represent everyone in my district no matter what their views are. We help everyone no matter what their views are, doesn't matter what their party is, we help everybody. That is a long standing principle that I've had; my dad was a Supreme Court Justice who was very strong about service and serving everyone and I care about that."

SAN FRANCISCO — WalkMe, which operates a Digital Adoption Platform, has raised $40 million in Series F financing, led by Insight Venture Partners, with participation from WalkMe's first institutional investor, Mangrove Capital Partners. WalkMe has raised $207.5 million to date.
WalkMe enables leading enterprise organizations to achieve a successful digital transformation by maximizing the use of their digital assets. By engaging users and providing an optimal user experience, WalkMe ensures that companies of all sizes gain unprecedented productivity improvements for employees and customers using artificial intelligence, real-time analytics, and automation technologies.
The company has close to 660 employees located in seven offices worldwide in the U.S., Europe and APAC.
The latest round of financing will allow WalkMe to continue its hyper-growth worldwide and continue to dominate the digital adoption category it created. WalkMe is looking to expand and localize its offerings in new markets such as Asia Pacific and Europe, while continuing to invest in securing multinational customers. WalkMe has nearly 2,000 customers worldwide, including over 30 percent of the Fortune 500.
WalkMe also plans to further invest in expanding its solution offering through additional technology acquisitions. WalkMe has made three acquisitions to date to support its vision – machine learning company DeepUI in June 2018, visual analytics company Jaco in April 2017, and native mobile AI company Abbi in January 2017.
"Digital transformation holds great promise, which is why most organizations today are highly engaged in their efforts. While the potential is huge, expectations are not met due to a reality of poor user adoption. Our customers are leveraging WalkMe's Digital Adoption Platform to ensure their business transformation goals and expectations are met and exceeded," said Dan Adika, co-founder and CEO of WalkMe. "This latest round of funding will help us grow at an even faster rate globally, while ensuring our leadership position in creating and forging the digital adoption category."

Main Content
Lyman T. Johnson (1906 - 1997) - Mr. Johnson was best known for breaking the "color barrier" at the University of Kentucky. In 1949, he became the first African-American to attend classes there. As a teacher at Central High School in Louisville, Kentucky for thirty-three years, he quickly became the most vocal public school teacher in denouncing discrimination and being involved in issues concerning minorities. Mr. Johnson fought to end unequal pay for black teachers. He also served for nearly ten years as assistant principal and school board member in the Jefferson County Public Schools. During the civil right movement, Mr. Johnson piloted the struggle to integrate Jefferson County neighborhoods, swimming pools, schools and restaurants. Always a catalyst for change, he was a grassroots leader who commanded a lifelong fight for equality in educational opportunities. Also, he strongly defended the belief that all men and women were created equal. Mr. Johnson was awarded an honorary doctor's degree from the University of Kentucky, the Governor's Distinguished Service Medallion for Volunteerism and the City of Louisville's first Freedom Award. Because of commitment to his ideals, his courage and pioneering spirit, Mr. Johnson made an indelible mark on the lives of all Kentuckians.

Rhona's Fanoe quilt
Rhona Thomson, one of my former Loch Lomond sashiko students and now attending the same City and Guilds patchwork diploma course as me, brought her version of my Fanoe quilt along to our Sunday class. She has used Hungarian Kekfesto cotton prints from Gilly Thomson as a change from the red and white I used for my original version, but there is still a variety of blues and whites in the patchwork similar to the red Fanoe patchwork. I asked her to pattern text the downloadable pdf file for me - you can buy the pattern as a download via my website now. Rhona decided to finish the patchwork without the border but I don't know if she's going to use a white or blue binding.
I love the effect of the Kekfesto cottons for this patchwork and somewhere I have a little collection of these gorgeous prints that might just make their way into my own version of this, although I also have fabric set aside for a red and cream remake...

A Community of Labradoodle & Goldendoodle Lovers
Our pup, an Aussiedoodle, turned five months old yesterday. He has been a handful. We love him dearly and have him enrolled in a foundations/manners class in Wilmington. He has also had some one-on-one personal training. I pray he responds well. We're retired and he is very high energy. Bleu is both beautiful and loving. He has definitely won our hearts. Thank you for allowing our family to be part of your community.
God bless all of you,
Pat Sandel

how is she doing after manners class///
all puppies are high energy... actually I hope he has not yet been neutered. You are not to old to develop the campion you want him to become.. Besides, when was the last time you rolled a ball and received so much appreciation? Izzi still loves her ball time...(she is eleven) and enjoys her tugs of war still... also keeps me in shape. I still get a kick out of her zoomies in the yard..
Thank ya'll for the nice welcome! Bleu finishes his classes on Thursday evening the 21st and he's got an appointment to see the Vet on Monday the 25th for neutering. Oh, how I hope this helps calm him down some. Sometimes his behavior is so discouraging to us. Maybe we're just getting too old...
Welcome to our world lol, love to see a some photos
Sounds like you are in the right direction to tame his energy. And he'll keep you busy in your retirement!

Over the years here at Scan123, we've had well over five hundred companies give up paper to the extent of 90+ percent or more. We are both flattered and fascinated by the fact that so many companies took our message to heart. In the 10+ years we have been helping folks go paperless there has been thousands of deposed file cabinets tossed aside to live a spartan, lonely existence, empty no less, in a dark storage room, or behind the building. Some are lucky. They get dropped off at Goodwill or some such place. We often get the afterthought in the form of a question from the new customers in a short while. They ask "What should I do with all of these old file cabinets?"
Just let that sink in for a moment. What DO you do with thousands of surplus file cabinets?
In an effort to deal with this very real problem we've come up with a possible solution:
Feast your eyes on this bad boy! One drawer for charcoal, and three others for your favorite brisket, pork roast or whatever!
And for a limited time, if you request the 20 minute online demo we'll send you free of charge, the plans and instructions to convert your surplus file cabinets into productive exotic smokers!
All joking aside folks, wouldn't that be a great problem to have? Let Scan123 show you how easy and affordable it is to go paperless.

A true story doesn't always mean an interesting story and it certainly doesn't always mean a good film. The history of cinema is littered with turgid true tales. Often even an interesting truth can make for a less than fascinating couple of hours in a darkened cinema. The formula for turning the truth into movie gold is as elusive as Scottish football fans who actually remember the last time the national team qualified for a tournament.
Molly Bloom has a story that would make an evening with Pablo Escabar seem a bit dull. Fortunately for us that story has been delivered to the big screen by Aaron Sorkin, a writer with a track record in this field; his "A Few Good Men" was based on a true story and "Charlie Wilson's War", "The Social Network", "Moneyball" and "Steve Jobs" are all true stories. Sorkin is, it is safe to say, a screenwriter with a proven track record. This though is his directorial debut and he delivers a film that is as thoughtful, intelligent, razor sharp and stylish as any of his scripts.
Bloom was the Olympic wannabe who had her eyes very firmly on the prize of a spot on the US Winter Olympics squad for the 2002 tournament in Salt Lake City. A freestyle skier she was one good run away from achieving her goal before tragedy struck…and not for the first time in her life. She hit a branch, her boot came undone and so did her dreams of Olympic glory. As well as being a sportswoman she was possessed of a sharp mind and was set for a career in law with a place at Harvard awaiting her after she took a year out to re-set. That year out was to be spent in the sun of Los Angeles…it ultimately ended up lasting a lot longer than a year and it changed her life forever in ways that would prove to be far more costly than hitting that branch had been.
Molly ended up assisting her boss in the running of his high stakes poker games at the Viper Rooms in L.A, games where rock stars, actors and other people with lots of money and free time could drink, gamble and regale one another with tales of the high life. Eventually, with the help of one of the players (player X), Molly ends up running her own high stakes poker game before he destroys her life in Los Angeles in a spiteful rage. That player looms large in the first half of the story and a quick waltz around the web reveals some interesting possibilities for who he might be…web being the key word.
With her life in ruins for the second time Molly leaves California and heads for New York where she utilises everything she has learned to take her career to a whole new level. High stakes doesn't come close to covering what was going on here. One decision taken when drugs had become a part of her life ends up proving costly in ways she could never have imagined and leads to a legal battle that nearly cost her everything…again.
Alongside a great story and a magnificent script the film is elevated to Oscar worthy by the performance of Jessica Chastain as Bloom. She is utterly mesmerising. The film runs for two hours and twenty minutes and it's doubtful that Chastain is off screen for more than 20 minutes of that. This is very definitely her movie. She has already won a Golden Globe and been nominated for two Academy Awards…the upcoming third nomination is going to be the one that brings her an Oscar. There are other people in the film including Idris Elba, who is also very good, but the truth of the matter is that this is all about Chastain, it is a towering performance.

Since the steel design is made as per Wenzel metal spinning; it is 2.5 times denser than aluminium frames. Besides robust performance and excellent durability, it comes with the convenience of a foldable design that makes it extremely easy to transport and use at different places.
Unlike other foundations in the Smartbase range, this model is available in California King Size. It stands 14inch tall and offers a 13inch space under the bed for appropriate storage.

Which One You Select
Which is the correct foundation for you? This all depends entirely on your needs and preferences.
The Elite foundation is highly durable and a heavy-duty model is offering excellent weight support. Even its grid design offers maximum support.
In addition to this Deluxe foundation is also an excellent choice, perfect for children and users. Its recessed design imparts additional stability and safety to the users.
Even the Standard model is perfect for everyone and everyday use. But it is available only in California King Mattress. The other models are not big enough to support the mattress size.
The basic features of these three frames are similar. Each one of them is foldable, easy to assemble and come with caps on foot. They all have a steel construction and are ready to use in very less time.
They only have few minor differences. So, no matter which one you pick Zinus has crafted them equally well.

Creative Pursuit of Personal Projects
Personal project due dates are coming up and some of the 10th graders shared their plans and ambitions.
More stories from Emma V.
Every year, the students in MYP 5 complete the "personal project". This project includes a product, a process journal, and a report. The project spans from September until March and requires hard and dedicated work. Some of the projects this year include a digital guide for athletes, a website on why startups is a good career choice, short stories on genocide, the production of rap songs, photographing different couture dresses in Thailand, a painting inspired by PTSD, and many more. The large range of creative products has led to a really interesting personal project exhibition, in which they presented their products to parents, staff, and other students.
The students each have individual goals, for example, the digital guide for athletes by Carlo was created with the goal of helping athletes with injury prevention. The website on why startups are a good career choice by Kris was created with the goal of helping people decide on their career choice. Nick created the short stories on genocide with the goal of researching 3 cases of genocide and inquiring how individuals and relationships can affect and be affected by these genocides. Akos set out to produce 3 different rap songs to exhibit and explore the different styles of rap, and Oliver's goal with his photography was to compare the different couture dresses around Thailand through photography. The student that created the oil painting on PTSD had the goal of creating a painting portraying the analysis and reflection of research about the psychological brain chemistry and development in PTSD patients.
All students had different ambitions and reasons that made them choose their individual topics. Their reasons for choosing their topics ranged from prior knowledge, to their own passions, their future goals, or simply their ambition for obtaining new skills and new knowledge. Although most students don't plan on continuing working with the topics they chose in the future after the personal projects are over, some of them have discovered a passion for this topic and do plan on exploring it more in the future.
The personal project is an amazing experience for the 10th graders, allowing them to explore a topic of their choice, and perhaps discover a new passion. Some advice to all the 9th graders that will be picking a topic for their personal project in a few months: choose a topic you are passionate about so that you will be motivated to do research and create your product! Hopefully, the personal project has prepared the students for the bigger challenges they will face during the DP…

Status, dynamics, form and the significance of the results were the criteria for ranking the 16 teams.
Previous ranking: 15 (-1)
Record: 1-9
At home: 1-4
Away: 0-5
Offense-Defense: 76.6 ppg.-89.4 ppg.
The win over Buducnost VOLI Podgorica (71-63) in the second round remains the only one for Darussafaka Tekfen Istanbul. With another six defeats in November, they reached eight in a row and nine in total, a record that has placed them alone at the bottom of the rankings. Their performance on offense (second worst and with the second-highest number of turnovers with 13.7) and defense (second worst) is similar and makes up the worst team point differential, 12.8 per game. Michael Eric (13 points, 6.3 rebounds) and Ray McCallum (10.2 points, 4.2 rebounds, 4.8 assists) are fighting, but they have their fair share of turnovers too (2.2 and 3.0 respectively).

I'm sorry I've been so absent!
With all this year-end book-keeping stuff going on with both the business I work for and the business Rob and I own, I've been alittle busy, to say the vary least! Tack on a major billing system change over at the business I work for and I am now mildly insane!
Because of my crumbling Acrylic, and no time for a repair, I've been, sadly, polish free!
That is why I haven't had much to show you! This will change I promise!!!
Also...A few of you, and "L" in particular, have asked what exactly powerlifting is. I will show you and explain how it is different than Olympic weightlifting and Body building, on either Thursday or Friday this week! I don't want you to think I'm ignoring you girl!!!
Ok, now that all that's done, back to our regularly scheduled post!
First, the Good News...
I'm not sure if any of you watch Speed Channel or have heard of a show called Pinks All-Out, but regardless of if you have or not, I'd like to announce that we will be competing on a filming of the show, on June 4th and 5th, with BOTH the 1963 Ford Galaxie that I built the motor for, and our 1964 Ford Fairlane! How exciting is that!?!?! I'll be sure to let you all know when the show airs, just in case you get the chance to spot me on TV!!!
Ok, now the polish! Remember that Pretty Shiny Things Mani I did a while back? Well I wore that all week! I love that mani! After I took it off, I figured it might be a nice change of pace to do a simply clean 1 color mani! So I pulled out a color I hadn't tried yet! A color I have thanks to my awesome husband Rob. See, Rob has this ability to look at polishes and grab a color and say "you should get this!" and have it be a color at 1-I would have looked over and not noticed, and 2-winds up looking amazing with my skin tone! It's a gift I guess!
Mom has a similar ability with clothes for me! I can walk into a store and find NOTHING, she can immediately walk into the same store and find a cart full of stuff that all looks great on me! It's a gift!
ANYWAY...Rob picked this polish out this past summer when we were out of town. And WOW is it nice!

Boy, I'm totally slacking in the blogging department as of late. I blame this on several things. First, I've been doing mostly knitting of the top-secret Christmas variety. Thankfully, some of those will be going to their recipients next week and I'll have something to share! Secondly, I've been doing quite a bit of drawstring bag sewing because they're selling like hotcakes over at Stash! And lastly, we're headed back east on Friday so I've been doing last minute Christmas shopping, packing, laundry, wrapping, and knitting!
Before I show you my most recent FO (well, my most recent that can safely make an appearance on the blog), let me just show you what making many drawstring bags does to ones brain. I sewed up a few bags for Black Friday shopping and then Sonia asked me to make 6-8 more for December. I did all of the cutting in one sitting, sewed up the layers the next day and went to put them all together. Two of my bags looked something like this:
Ummm, why were the outsides an inch smaller than the linings? No idea. No worries though, I trimmed the linings and everything worked out in the end! Now onto the Leaves Long Beanie!
Pattern: Leaves Long Beanie by Melissa LaBarre from the book Weekend Hats
Yarn: Dream in Color Classy in a color whose name I can't remember!
Modifications: None!
Please excuse the sorta creepy picture. It's the picture that best shows off the pattern motif on the hat!
This is the second hat pattern I've made from Weekend Hats and both patterns have been well-written, easy to follow, and has a fantastic finished product. I think I'll be reaching for this book over and over again for gifts. This particular hat was made for one of Seth's co-workers as a Secret Santa gift. She loved it and it fit her perfectly!
We're headed out on Friday to visit family for a week or so…I might be back in this space before we return, but possibly not! I hope you're all having a lovely December so far!

Hand rendering, Dragon Trophy for Konami
I was recently commissioned by Knightsbridge Industries to hand render a trophy mock up for Konami. The trophy pictures one of Yu-Gi-Oh!'s popular dragon characters on a wooden pedestal.
I'll add a photo of the fully realized trophy once it's finished in its 3D printing process.
Yu-Gi-Oh! is a Japanese manga series about gaming written and illustrated byKazuki Takahashi. It was serialized in Shueisha's Weekly Shōnen Jump magazine between September 30, 1996 and March 8, 2004. The plot follows the story of a boy named Yugi Mutou, who solves the ancient Millennium Puzzle. Yugi awakens a gambling alter-ego within his body that solves his conflicts using various games.
Two anime adaptations were produced; one by Toei Animation, which aired from April 4, 1998 to October 10, 1998, and another produced by NAS and animated by Studio Gallop titled Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters, which aired between April 2000 and September 2004. The manga series has spawned a franchise that includes multiple spin-off manga and anime series, a trading card game, and numerous video games. Most of the incarnations of the franchise involve the fictional trading card game known as Duel Monsters, where each player uses cards to "duel" each other in a mock battle of fantasy "monsters". This forms the basis for the real life Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game.

These guys. This is Jimmy and Sarah, my incredibly attractive friends.
Sarah and I are in school together, and we did a photoshoot last week together.
Sarah and Jimmy have been together for 11 years, and married for a decent number of those years. BUT, they've never had "real" pictures taken of them. NEVER! That's not OK, considering how attractive they are.
So, we went downtown and took some dang pictures.
Jimmy and Sarah are one of those couples that just WORK. They've moved around together, started dating when they were very young, dealt with family issues, Jimmy in the service, and basically anything else that might happen in 11 years of togetherness.
They have a beautiful relationship, and it SHOWS on their faces, doesn't it? These two are GREAT.
Also, guys kissing are funny. I suggested a kiss, and here's what I got:
It was a little dramatic, and poor Jimmy. Don't girls just seem to get the whole posing thing more? I don't know – it's probably because we read too many magazines.
This brick wall is one of my favorites in Greenville, and the light was super duper pretty on this particular morning.
But then I, awesome photog that I am, suggested that Jim not stand as though he was protecting his, um, area.
And then I said "sorry to be looking! it's kind of my job."
And then it all sort of fell apart.
What I love so much about these two is that their faces TELL YOU how much they love and respect each other. They're partners in the truest sense of the word, and I adore them together.
Thanks guys, for such a fun morning! Check out the rest of the pictures below:

VLADIVOSTOK, September 6. /TASS/. The breaking of the Deir ez-Zor siege is an important step in the fight against terrorism in Syria, Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov told reporters on Wednesday.
"Indeed, it is an important milestone in the war on terror in Syria - the siege of Deir ez-Zor has been broken, where the Syrian troops and civilians remained besieged by the ISIL militants for several years," he said.
- Russian military sends food to Deir ez-Zor residents
- Putin congratulates Russian and Syrian military with victory in Deir ez-Zor
- Syria's government troops unblock Deir ez-Zor — Russian Defense Ministry
- Russian warplanes perform over 80 sorties to back Syrian army's offensive in Deir ez-Zor
- Russian military aviation stamps out terrorists en-route to Syria's Deir ez-Zor
"Now that the siege is broken, conditions have been created for achieving another important task, which is the liberation of Deir ez-Zor from terrorists," the Russian top diplomat added. "The Syrian troops supported by our Aerospace Force continue its activities aimed at achieving this goal," Lavrov said.
On Tuesday, Syrian government troops broke through the defenses of the IS terrorists on the outskirts of Deir ez-Zor and broke the three-year siege of the city. To support the Syrian troops' offensive, Russia's Aerospace Force delivered a massive airstrike on the main strongholds, manpower and materiel of the Islamic State near Deir ez-Zor, while cruise missiles were launched from the Admiral Essen frigate.
Russian Defense Minister Army General Sergei Shoigu earlier said that the city of Deir ez-Zor was the main point in the Euphrates River area, so the breaking of its siege would to a large extent mark the end of military activities against terrorists in Syria. According to Head of the Main Operations Department at Russia's General Staff Colonel General Sergei Rudskoi, after the siege is broken, "the strongest ISIL units active in Syria will face a defeat." Rudskoi also pointed out that Deir ez-Zor was the place where terrorists accumulated their remaining forces, as militants from Iraq's Mosul and most armed units from Raqqa had moved there.
