This past weekend was full of recuperation from the crazy sinus sickness that had taken over Derek and myself. Sunday was spent sleeping in, watching tv, napping, eating, oh and more sleeping. So of course when bedtime rolled around neither the mister or myself was the least bit tired. We decided to catch up on Big Brother and watch the Emmy's. BIG mistake. We went to sleep about 11 and when the alarm clock went off at 5, I knew for sure there had to be some error with Chris's phone. Wrong. Time to rise and shine. We make it through the day and decide it's going to be an early night. We're all in bed by 8:30 and ready to get some much needed sleep. Sounds blissful, right? Wrong. Again.
Derek decided it was the night to party in the crib. At ONE AM folks. Granted, by that time I'd probably slept almost as much as the night before by that point, but ya'll it didn't feel like it.
After stumbling into the kitchen and making his milk, I pick up child who is screaming like the boogie monster was giving him the stink eye, and attempt to feed him and rock him back to sleep. Attempt being the key word. He decided 4 sips into his milk that it was absolutely evil and started flailing around like a fish out of water. I put it away and rock him to sleep. I attempt to put him in his bed. Attempt fail. Again. As soon as I start putting him in his bed, he's screaming bloody murder again and wide awake. I pick him back up, rinse and repeat. Once he's asleep in my arms, I attempt to put him in his bed. Attempt fail. Round 3. Sensing the pattern? This time he's wide awake sitting in his crib just looking at me like I'm the nut job. He starts making his "hungry" face. Lovely. Since I'm wide awake at this point too I feed him some food and put him down to put it away. He starts playing like it's the normal thing to do at TWO AM.
This is when I win mother of the year. Since he is in heaven playing with his toys on the floor, I screw it and put them with him in his crib. All of a sudden silence. The angels start singing. Then I go to bed. Parenting fail for most everyone else. But for me in my sleep deprived state, it was the perfect solution. He's safe in his crib and happy as a clam. I can hear him on the monitor should the boogie man resurface.
Now I just count the minutes until early bedtime, yet again, and pray there isn't another party in our crib tonight.

Confessions of a CHA Convention-er (Part 3 – Tim Holtz)
Posted by Catherine on January 24, 2009
…Day Two – Edumacation day!
So, the much talked about Tim Holtz class was EVERYTHING that I was expecting it to be – and more! w00t!
I can definitely understand why Tim's got such a strong following! He is an energetic, out-going speaker and he definitely knows.his.stuff! You can automatically tell that he knows what he's talking about and that he LOVES what he's talking about – which makes you love it too!
So today in class, we busted out the new lights and brights line of Alcohol Ink (yes, they're important enough to capitalize) and oooooh-wee! I WANT THEM ALL; heck that's not true, I NEED them! Okay, on to the project:
Tim's Colour Your Creativity Class! So there's our little kits there, co-ordinating colours of alcohol ink in the new lights, brights and earthtones and one metallic mixatives, an archival ink pad, an felt ink tool, ghost shapes and the NEW alcohol ink pen! We also walked away with one of the new release STAMP SETS! Ooooh baby, yes we did! Okay, so the rest of the project:
DO YOU LOVE IT OR WHAT?!?! So let's have a look, the first picture is grungepaper with the word CREATE cut out with the Cricut – as well as the flourish and then covered with metal tape to emboss – to avoid scratches and ugly marks, we embossed with a large blending stub. VERY COOL idea!
We painted with our new alcohol ink pen (kind of resembles Copics) and stamped with our new stamp sets, using different alcohol ink techniques (tutorials are available on Marti's website (http://www.pezadoodle.com/). So if you have EVER been scared to try alcohol inks, now is the time to TRY THEM! Don't be afraid, the ink will come off (well, except from your hardwood floors, so don't play on that! The Mister noticed my sanded areas on the floor where I tried to hide the ink!) and you get such AWESOME things every single time!
Aaaaand that's Marti and I with our new BFF Tim! w00t!
I am loving how I roll!

Before my sophomore year of college, I knew little about Eastern Europe and even less about the little country of Hungary. Back then, I was a self-proclaimed francophile, and in true French spirit, I also had an interest in Japan. (To be fair, my interests lay in Japan's "economic miracle" rather than the artistic glorification of Japanese culture, but close enough.) I took a class on the the history of financial crises and completely by chance, my academic focus changed completely.
Each student had the opportunity to choose a country that had been affected by the 2008 financial crisis. I was (surprise, surprise) sick on the day we chose countries, so I missed out on Japan and France. My professor suggested Hungary. I agreed, apathetically believing that I would have to write yet another paper about a topic for which I cared little.
However, Hungary turned out to be more enthralling than I could have imagined. Since that initial paper about how Hungary was one of the countries in the Eurozone hit hardest by the crisis, I have since studied everything from why the Hungarian Revolution of 1848 failed, to brain drain and refugee inflow problems post-1989, to the evolution of Hungary's citizenship policies. The political culture of Hungary has proved especially fascinating, as more extremist parties gain power amidst riots and general social unrest.
When I started this blog, I knew it was a matter of time until Hungary made its inevitable appearance. Friends who'd visited Hungary while abroad raved about the food and the beauty of Budapest and I realized that while I might intimately understand the political culture, the simple culture remained an unknown. I came across a recipe for Budapest coffee Bundt cake and decided to do a little research on the name. Turns out, Hungary once had a thriving coffee house culture before even Paris or Austria. Not only did Hungarians brew great coffee, but they also made delicious cakes and pastries in accompaniment. Artists and writers, many of whom had no heating in their homes, flocked to coffee houses for the warmth, but also the company and the refreshments. (The stereotype of 'starving artist' has deep historical roots – just look at what happened to poor Mozart.)
However, Hungary fell under the iron curtain after World War II and the Soviet Union, fearing that the coffee houses would become hotbeds of dissent, moved to shut them all down. In the 24 years following the fall of the iron curtain, coffeehouse culture has made a sort of comeback, though many coffee shops are frequented by tourists rather than locals.
While I continue my quest to learn everything (literally, everything) about my new favorite country, I'll content myself with enjoying moist, cinnamon-cocoa slices of Budapest coffee cake and imagining the day when I can actually visit the vibrant coffee houses of Budapest. One day.
Budapest Coffee Bundt Cake (adapted from the Food Librarian)
For the streusel:
3/4 cup brown sugar
1 tbsp cinnamon
1 heaping tbsp cocoa
1 1/4 cup toasted walnuts, 3/4 cup diced, 1/2 cup halved
For the cake:
3 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 sticks of butter, room temperature
2 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups sugar
3 large eggs
2 cups sour cream
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a standard 12-cup Bundt pan.
Combine brown sugar, cinnamon, and cocoa. Toast the walnuts (I put them on a frying pan for about 5 minutes at low heat, occasionally stirring them, until they browned) and mix into the streusel.
Combine flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt into a large bowl. Then using a stand mixer with paddle attachment (or an electric mixer) cream the butter with sugar until light and fluffy. Add vanilla. Add one egg at a time. Scrape sides of bowl. Beat at high speed until mixture is light and creamy, about 1 minute. Mixing at low speed, add dry ingredients in three additions, then sour cream in two additions, alternating between the two.
Spread a thin layer of batter on the bottom of the prepared pan. Top with 1/3 streusel mixture. Repat until you have 4 layers of batter and three layers of nut filling, with batter as the final layer.
Place pan in the oven (with a tray placed not under the Bundt pan, but on the rack below to catch drippings) and bake for 50-60 minutes, until an inserted toothpick comes out clean. Remove and let cool on rack for 5 minutes. Invert and serve.

Recording and Production News
Prism Sound and SADiE help producer Tony Platt complete a vital mixCambridge, UK: Prism Sound's Orpheus multichannel Firewire audio interface is being hailed as a 'saviour' by producer Tony Platt after he employed the device to rescue a vital mix session for SellaBand artist Daniel Ward-Murphy.
Orpheus FireWire interface
Platt, who is a director of the Music Producers Guild, was working on the mix in his project studio, The Shop, located within the Strongroom complex in London. At a critical point in the session the A/D converter he had planned to use suddenly became unavailable - and to add to his problems his own audio Interface box began misbehaving.
A quick call to Prism Sound brought an instant solution when the company agreed to loan him an Orpheus unit so that he could complete the mix.
"Prism Sound was fantastic," Platt says. "Not only did they agree to lend me an Orpheus but Chris Allen delivered it in person to make sure everything went smoothly. In fact he needn't have worried because this unit really defines 'plug and play'. The software loaded very easily and the graphical interface is perfect for the usual professional male technique of only reading the manual when you absolutely need to - it is logical and easy to navigate."
Platt mixed from Pro Tools via his Mackie console into the Orpheus and then back into Pro Tools via AES. Safety monitoring was achieved via an AES loop back to the Orpheus patched into the 2 track return. The session was at 96Khz/24bit with the clocking centrally achieved with an A&D ProBox 12.
"There were a couple of initial clocking issues but when we applied the AES DI to clock the Orpheus everything stabilised," he explains. "From that point on the rest of the session went very smoothly and the unit behaved impeccably."
Platt particularly liked the fact that Orpheus gave him the ability to A/B the audio and demonstrate to his client the value of high quality conversion.
"Much to my delight I detected slight but definite warmth in the low end after going through the Orpheus," he says. "I know Prism Sound prides itself on total transparency, but I actually prefer equipment to have character and personality and I firmly believe this very slight enhancement is highly beneficial. Most importantly, though, the clarity was maintained with all the transient detail - certainly the artist was impressed!"
Prism Sound's involvement in the project continued beyond the mix and into mastering when Tony Platt used a Dream DA-2 conversion system to provide a high-quality audio stream. He also used digital audio workstations from SADiE, now part of the Prism Sound group, which are the de facto standard at Fluid Mastering in London, where the mastering session took place.
Daniel Ward-Murphy's melodic and powerful debut album Until The Morning Light features a repertoire that he has spent the last couple of years honing and perfecting in venues around London, where he regularly performs. Initial reviews have been very favourable with reviewers picking up on the exceptional production values that bring out the best out of Daniel and his band.
The album is now available on the SellaBand label (www.sellaband.com) - itself an unusual venture as it challenges the traditional music industry by encouraging artists and music lovers to go into business together. Anyone can invest in a SellaBand artist or band and once they have achieved the required amount of investment, investors receive a limited edition copy of their album. On top of that, the artists and their fans share equally in the revenues of the album. To date 29 artists from 12 different countries have raised the full $50,000 and over $2,200,000 has been invested in unsigned acts.
One key factor in SellaBand's success is its strong network of producers. Its artist have the opportunity to work with world class producers, such as Greg Haver (Super Furry Animal, The Manic Street Preachers), Tony Platt (AC/DC, Bob Marley) and Steve Bush (Stereophonics).
"SellaBand is a fantastic concept and one that is already helping to unlock talent that might not otherwise have been heard," Tony Platt explains. "As a producer I'm delighted to be part of it because I believe all artists, whether established or just starting out in their careers, deserve access to the best technology and the highest production values possible. Prism Sound's Orpheus unit fits this philosophy perfectly because it offers such exceptional sound quality. As soon as I can raise the cash it is going straight on my shopping list!"

Uniforms in Public Schools Helps Build Security
- Length: 525 words (1.5 double-spaced pages)
- Rating: Excellent
Many students prefer not to wear school uniforms because they believe it takes away from their individuality. Uniforms are thought to lower a students creativity and self-esteem. While these thoughts are in good consideration, if students were to wear uniforms in all public schools it would help significantly in reducing violence in public schools. Uniforms would help by ruling out bullying because of one's clothing style. Most of the violence in schools are due to an angry student who feels out of place because of other students criticism. All students attending public schools should wear uniforms to provide a safe, comfortable environment.
Students wearing school uniforms makes it easier for faculty to recognize the students that belong to their school. If a person, who was armed, entered a public school, who had a no uniform policy, it would make it easier for that person to blend in. Students who wear uniforms think in terms of the school as a unity verses students wearing clothes of their style and thinking in terms of groups. This helps lower the number of gangs in a school. (http://www.buzzle.com/articles/benefits-of-school-uniforms.html) Today, 95 percent of New Orleans', 85 percent of Cleveland's, and 80 percent of Chicago's public schools all require uniforms. (http://school101.wordpress.com/2009/09/09/facts-about-school-uniforms/)
Students are willing to fight against wearing uniforms in public schools because they can't express themselves, however, students wearing uniforms would reduce distractions and add structure to the environment. If students wore uniforms, the public school would no longer have to worry about an appropriate dress code. Students would not be called names because of their fashion sense. Students would feel equality amongst each other. No student would feel secluded because of their clothes. Students could still express their individuality through personality.
Of course, the use of uniforms in public schools will not banish violence and gangs all together, but will significantly reduce the numbers of gangs and amount of violence. Long Beach, California school districts decided to use school uniforms in 1994. In the following year, district officials found that overall school crime decreased 36 percent, fights decreased 51 percent, sex offenses decreased 74 percent, weapons offenses decreased 50 percent, assault and battery offenses decreased 34 percent, and vandalism decreased 18 percent. (http://www2.ed.gov/updates/uniforms.html) These results speak for themselves.

Once students start wearing the uniforms, they will prefer to wear the uniforms over their own clothes.
Students wearing uniforms in all public schools will provide security. Students will have an overall better attendance and grades because they feel more comfortable in their environment. Providing a safe environment for our children to learn will reduce the stress and anxiety of parents. Students will be more confident in themselves because bullying will decrease. Our children will adapt to wearing uniforms and overall will have a better sense of self completion.

Here's what I'm loving today….
- PERFECT fall weather – not too cold, but still nice and crisp.
- Friday Playdate and The Working Closet. I'm a big Susan Wagner fan.
- Starbucks Peppermint Twist latte. Only available when the red cups are.
- Target. What's not to love? I just left with shampoo, socks to go with my new clogs, a gift for the toddler party we're going to Sunday, fun Italian sodas for GNO next week, and plenty of other cleaning products and stuff I probably don't need, but gosh, I sure had fun!
- My super-cute BYH mini-dress that (I think) is working great over a long-sleeved T and stovepipe jeans on this nice, crisp day.
- The word "spaz-wrangle", oft-used by my awesome bff Dena. As in "let's do dinner at your house so you don't have to spaz-wrangle the boys into a restaurant."
- Graeme Base. Brillant story-books with incredible illustrations. BRILLant.
And lastly, this photo. It helps me remember that sometimes, they really do like each other.

Since I started watching Season 2 of PAW Patrol, I've loved how some of the pups have gotten some sort of upgrade to their equipment, and I love the addition of Everest to the team!
Despite all that I read in the comments for both the characters and the episodes, I have been getting more and more interested in what Ryder and the team will be getting into within the rest of Season 2 since it has not debuted yet.
After what we've seen so far, what does anyone think of Season 2 of PAW Patrol in general? Is it more exciting than Season 1? Now that Ryder and the team can do emergencies outside of Adventure Bay, what new locations might we see, both in and outside of their hometown? With so few episodes with Everest in them, will we see more winte…Read more >

Portrait photograph of Springfield College president emeritus Paul Moyer Limbert and his wife Anna. Paul Limbert was Springfield College's sixth president serving in the position from 1946-1952.

Limbert authored several books, including "Christian Emphasis in YMCA Programs, " "College Teaching and Christian Values, " "Living a Century, " and "New Perspective for the YMCA." He was recognized with the Legion of Honor award from France, the L.K. Hall Citation from the YMCA Association of Professional Directors (APD), and with honorary doctorates from both Springfield College and American International College.

It always has puzzled me how granola somehow mysteriously was awarded the ``health food of the decade`` prize at the height of its popularity during the 1970s. Even more perplexing is how it has continued to keep this healthy image through the `80s, especially considering our increased awareness of what constitutes good nutrition.
Most granola is loaded with sugar or honey and contains lots of unnecessary fat in the form of oil and coconut-and sometimes even chocolate. The sugar-and that includes honey-causes tooth decay; and the oil adds fat calories that none of us needs.

Yesterday and today are the days of many New Year festivals and celebrations here in India. There is a lot going on and it's difficult trying to keep up. That said there is palpable excitement in the air and much discussion as to which temples are offering the best juices and snacks for believers. It is truly lovely to see so many excited and happy people. I've tried to consolidate into bite size chunks each of the festivals, who is celebrating and how.
What is it?
Bishnu is a spring festival celebrated in Assam.The name is derived from Sanskrit meaning 'vernal equinox '.it is originally a fertility ritual. The festival represents the arrival of seeding time, the completion of sowing and transplanting of paddies and the end of the harvesting period.
How is it celebrated?
It is celebrated across the state with exuberant singing, drumming and dancing. It is a secular and universal festival without any sectarian bias. Ladies perform the dances and men accompany them on horns and drums.
Vishu and Varsha Pirappu
What is it?
Vishu is the first day in the first Malayalam month of Medam (March-April). Varsha Pirappu is the Tamil New Year.
How is it celebrated?
Vishu is celebrated in Kerala with much fanfare. The traditional rituals followed are believed to to bring in another prosperous year for the Keralites. On the night before Vishu fresh agricultural produce such as rice, cucumber, jack fruit coconut etc are decorated and placed at the feet of lord Krishna. The yellow flowers of Konna Poova are also considered to bring prosperity. Believers also attend the Temple for prayers / puja.
Varsha Pirappu is the Tamil New Year and people decorate the entrance to their houses with Rangoli (or Kolam). To mark the holiness of the occasion mango leaves are also used to decorate the entrance. Early baths are taken and the whole family perform puja / prayers together. The lord Ganesha is offered fruits, sweets and flowers. Food has an emphasis on pulses and cereals and in the afternoon believers attend the temples and exchange gifts.
Poila Baisakh
What is it?
It is the Bengali New Year and is the first day of the Bengali calendar and celebrated on 14th or 15th April in Bangladesh, West Bengal and Tripura. The traditional greeting is "Shubho Noboborsho" meaning "Happy New Year".
How is it celebrated?
At dawn families and believers gather together to watch the sunrise usually at the bank of a river or lake. Any artists present will sing the new year song "Esho, he Boishakh". The day is marked with singing, processions and fairs; visiting relatives, friends and neighbours preparing special dishes for any guests.
What is it?
Puthandu is the Tamil New Year and is celebrated in mid April (in keeping with the Hindu solar calendar) by Tamils in Tamil Nadu, Puducherry, Sri Lanka, Singapore, Reunion and Malaysia. The traditional greeting is "Puttantu valttukkal". In 2016 that is 14th April. (It is also known as Chittirai Vishnu in southern Tamil Nadu.)
How is it celebrated?
On the eve of Puthandu a tray is arranged with three fruits – mango, banana and jack fruit- betel leaves, are abut, gold/ silver jewellery, coins/ money, flowers and a mirror. This is viewed upon waking in the morning. The entrance to houses are decorated Kolams (Rangolis) and in some communities Neem flowers and raw mangoes symbolise growth and prosperity.
The first financial transaction of the year is traditionally with children or unmarried young as elders gift money as a token of good luck. It is also the first ploughing of the ground to prepare for the new agricultural cycle and is known as 'arpudu'.
Sri Lankan Tamils begin the new year with a herbal bath to bring good health. 'Coconut wars' is played between youths in villages and cart races are also held. It is also a time for family visits.
Sri Ram Navami
What is it?
It commemorates the birth of lord Rama on the ninth day of the 'Shukla Paksha' (waxing moon) in the month of Chaitra. It marks the end of the nine day Chaitra-Navaratri celebrations. In 2016 that is Friday 15th April. It is believed that lord Rama is the seventh avatar of lord Vishnu and one of the oldest avatars of lord Vishnu having human form.
How is it celebrated?
Eight 'Prahar' fasting is suggested during Ram Navami which means devote believers should observe the fast from sunrise to sunrise (ie a full 24 hours).
Puja is performed and devotional hymns are recited continuously ('Akhand Paath'). Music is played ('bhajan') and songs of praise are sung ('kirtan'). Images of the infant Rama are placed in cradles and rocked by devotees. Temples and family shrines are elaborately decorated and families gather at Noon (believed to be the time of birth) for prayers, chanting and offerings of fruits and flowers. At the end of the day the diety is taken into a procession in the streets.
After puja the 'Prasad' is distributed ('gracious gift'). This is edible food first offered to a deity or avatar and then distributed in their name to followers or others as a good sign. The Prasad is considered to have the diety's blessing residing within it. The desire to get prasada and have darshana (the auspicious sighting of a diety) are the two major draws to temples and pilgrimage motivations. There is certainly frantic phone calls and moped trips between temples to discover which temple is offering the best juice ('Panakam' – a sweet juice prepared with jaggery and pepper) and food (community meals are often organised).
In Ayodhya, the birthplace of lord Rama, there are celebrations and functions held. It is regarded as one of the seven most important pilgrimage sites for Hindus.
Festival Fever
There is a lot going on at the moment. Yesterday and today there are a lot of people on the streets and at Temples. Parades are being arranged and dirties being prepared. There will be much celebrating later. Especially since this is the last festival until August – a long gap in celebrations here.
Wherever you are – enjoy the new year celebrations if you can.

Last night we spent our first night in the house. Overall, everything went well. We tacked sheets up for curtains, and camped out in the bedroom. Our house is warm. We're very apreciative of the new furnace and the insulation.
And now I'm sick. I left work early this morning to come home and sleep. I'm back up because the electrical guy is here, but I'm just waiting for him to finish up putting light switches and outlets in the bedroom so I can go back to bed. Ugh.

Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has expressed his condolences to the victims of Wednesday's terrorist attack in London in a letter sent to British Prime Minister Theresa May, Viktor Orbán's press chief said on Thursday.
"I was devastated to learn about the brutal terrorist attack in the heart of London," Orbán said in the letter and expressed his deepest condolences on behalf of the people of Hungary, Bertalan Havasi said.
This heinous event cannot and will not weaken our commitment to stand up against terror and violence. I can assure you that Hungary remains a firm ally of the United Kingdom in the fight against international terrorism. Our thoughts and prayers are with the people of Britain in these difficult moments,
the Hungarian Premier wrote to his British counterpart.
Meanwhile Hungary's Foreign Ministry has also expressed its sympathy to families of the victims in Wednesday's terrorist attack in London, and wished a speedy recovery to those injured, the foreign ministry told news agency MTI. In its statement, the ministry said that "such tragic events also highlight the importance of making the security of Europeans a top priority in European politics". "Efforts against terrorism must be stepped up… to restore security in Europe," the statement said.
According to reports from the Scotland Yard, four people died and at least 20 were seriously injured in the attack which happened in central London.
On Thursday morning the Hungarian President expressed condolences to Queen Elizabeth II in a telegram over Wednesday's terrorist attack in London, the Hungarian Presidential Office has reported. János Áder said he was deeply saddened to learn about the attack which claimed the lives of innocent people. He expressed deep sympathies on the Hungarian people's behalf to the families of the victims and wished them a speedy recovery. Hungary resolutely condemns the attack as a "brutal and heinous" act of violence, Áder said.

Once upon a time, left tackle was a position of strength and stability for the San Diego Chargers.
That is no longer the case.
For the second straight season, the Chargers have seen their left tackle have his season end because of an injury. San Diego put Jared Gaither on the injured reserve Friday with a groin injury. Thus, undrafted rookie Mike Harris, who has played six games this season, remains the starter, which won't help turnover-prone quarterback Philip Rivers, who has not been protected well much of this season.
Gaither, who signed lucrative four-year deal with the Chargers in the offseason, was hampered by back and groin injuries all season. He played just four games. He played well late last season after he was claimed off waivers from Kansas City. In San Diego, Gaither replaced Marcus McNeill, who suffered a career-ending neck injury last season. McNeill was considered a top left tackle early in his career, but health ruined a great career and put the Chargers in a tough spot.
They thought Gaither was the answer, but now they are back to Square One.
The massive 6-foot-9 Gaither is talented, but he has never been able to stay healthy. U-T San Diego reports tackle Kevin Haslam is expected to be promoted from the practice squad this weekend.
Meanwhile, receiver/returner Eddie Royal (hamstring) and linebacker Larry English (calf) are out Sunday against Baltimore. Starting guard Tyronne Green (hamstring) is doubtful, and nose tackle Aubrayo Franklin (knee) is questionable.

Friends We Love: Exhibits We Love :: F*CK ART at the Museum of Sex
Last Thursday night, at the Museum of Sex in New York City (also known as MoSex) anticipation ran high to see the museum's latest exhibition entitled, "F*CK ART." The show features select pieces of 20 artists with unconventional approaches to street art — pushing the boundaries of sexuality in public space. The exhibition runs the gamut and is rousingly satisfying.
Even before you step foot into the museum, the lobby greets its visitors with an outstanding 14 foot long bike, artists William Thomas Porter and Andrew H. Shirley, lovingly call, "The Fuck Bike #001″ This installation piece consists of multiple bikes conjoined to a prosthetic phallus. And, yes, it does exactly what the title suggests.
The third floor features a cohesion of kink, but every piece has its signature statement. Take for instance, Brooklyn-based street artist DICKCHICKEN. His phallic prints on iconic cartoon characters gives his piece a great sense of humor — making the statement that art can allow itself to be funny. His artistry is whimsical yet playful, giving his work a reminiscent feel to artists of yesteryear. So much so, that DICKCHICKEN's work has been compared to the legendary late artist, Keith Haring — and for that reason, one of his portraits in this show is inspired by him.
Now, if you're looking for an artist who embodies nonconformity and enjoys the salaciousness of explicit sexuality, then LUSH is your man. The Melbourne native is making a splash across the globe for his less than subtle work. His in-your-face and "fuck 'em all" attitude is charming in that Marquis de Sade-kind of way. His peculiar ice-cream concoction, plus, half-naked servers, really gives his contribution to the show that extra spunk. (no pun intended)
And lastly, but certainly not least, the work of Miss Van (watch her Friends We Love profile below). Three portraits were exclusively made for this exhibition. Two hang from opposite walls, while a third is showcased in a wooden panel box with a low dim light. All three paintings are demure in composition and seem like intimate moments of these regal-esque characters with a dark side.
However, the third piece is a stark contrast to the first two, in that the hanging pieces have a sinister-esque appearance to them, while the third seems more intimate. The third painting is much smaller, and its tones are warm and inviting. Giving us voyeurs a "window" (in a manner of speaking) into the inner passions of this third character. Coy, silent yet bold would be my choice of words to describe all three pieces — definitely a must see!
The "F*CK ART" exhibition is currently on display at the Museum of Sex in New York City. Show will run until June 10th, 2012. Do yourself a favor and go check it out now.

Revisit: The 3M ESPE Oral Health Risk Assessment and Management Resource
As a follow up to last weeks' RDH Under One Roof show post, I thought it would be great to touch base on the resources 3M ESPE offers for members of the hygienist community. Often, our busy work schedules and lives play a part in eroding our memories of great content and learning resources that we used to leverage in the past.
If you haven't visited the 3M ESPE Preventive Measures' page recently or ever, I invite you to stop by for some great literature, assessment tips and other resources surrounding preventive oral health and care.
The site highlights include:
- Caries Risk and Management
- Periodontal Disease Risk and Management
- Treatment product guide
- Downloadable materials to help guide the conversation with patients
As members of the dental and hygienist communities, we understand the importance of preventive care. We also understand the emphasis on empowering patients with knowledge, guidance and support when it comes to sharing how they can better manage their oral health away from the dental office.
Their involvement and understanding is critical to many treatment successes and the 3M ESPE Preventive Measures site shares helpful tips on conveying these very important messages with your patients.
I'd recommend you take a moment to download and review the "Preventive Measures Oral Health Risk Assessment and Management" guidebook. It provides ideas for establishing a formal preventive program to help boost your clinics standard of care, as well as other tips for assessing risk and identifying clinical protocol.
In addition, learn how you can receive a customized 3M ESPE Preventive Measures Risk Assessment Tool for your practice by contacting your local Dental Practice Specialist.

Welsh boxer Nathan Cleverly will come face-to-face with his bitter rival Tony Bellew on Thursday little more than 48 hours before their grudge match in Liverpool on Saturday night.
This week the two fighters have warmed up for their second bout with open training sessions in their home cities of Cardiff and Liverpool.
But there could be an explosive encounter at the main event press conference in Liverpool at 12.30pm on Thursday as the pair meet up for the first time ahead of Saturday's showdown.
The official weigh-in will take place on Friday before the fight at the Echo Arena in Liverpool, which will be the second time the pair have met in the same venue.
This is a rivalry that began in May 2011 when they clashed at a press conference and has festered ever since, taking in their first fight in October 2011 which Cleverly won on points to retain his light-heavyweight world title.
Hostilities resurfaced when they both moved to cruiserweight under the stewardship of Eddie Hearn, who has promoted this sold-out fight which is also on Sky Sports pay-per -view.
And Cleverly is confident of a second victory despite some of his doubters surfacing.
"A lot of people have him as the favourite because he's the naturally bigger guy," said Cleverly.
"He is heavy-handed, apparently, so they think that is too much of a jump for me – and it is a big jump. I'm up against it, but I am confident.
"I know my own body, I know what I can do.
"Mentally and physically, I know my limits and I know that I can beat this guy at cruiserweight. I feel comfortable, strong, sharp and fit. I'll beat this guy."

If you need property maintenance services, get in touch with the right professionals. Hi ring an electrical contractor is also a part of property maintenance.
Property maintenance in Caterham also includes lot of electrical work. The services of an electrical contractor can be really a risky one; they do all the cabling work be it simple or complex. You can enjoy all the facilities at the flick of a switch. You cannot afford to get the services done by any inexperienced person because a minor carelessness can make things go really wrong.
For installing an excellent house lighting design, hire the services of a professional Electrical contractor in Caterham. The contractors take charge of new installations and maintenance of electrical systems. A simple electrician is not well versed with so many tasks because they demand specific skill sets. Working with these professionals in the design phase, you can get to know that there are many options that can be installed to customize the space.
Hiring a pro
The contractors are especially in charge of commercial projects. It is important to check the reputation or the license of the professional. It is highly impressive if he has attained post-secondary education or major in 'Electrical Engineering'. If you are making addition to your home, you might have to hire a reputed electrical contractor to make your project successful without any risks. Here are the two main tasks they can offer you
- Design Elements
- Meeting Requirements
Make sure the professional works closely to you and performs every aspect of the task. Call a pro that will entirely plan out for you. There are many electrical firms that offer free consultation. It is entirely up to you to hire the services of a company that will offer interactive customer service and within your budget.
You must not be afraid to ask any queries you have. Hire the company that is ready to get into a conversation with you.
Beware! Electrical systems are complicated.

This week my family celebrated Family Day. Family Day is the day that we celebrate becoming a family. Some people call it gotcha day but we have chosen to call it family day because it is about the whole family coming together as a new unit.
Thank you for all the children who have come home and are able to celebrate their new lives with their families.
Lord, I thank you for the children who have families coming for them. I pray that their hearts will be ready for the HUGE change that will happen.
I also pray for those children that do not have a family. Lord, please give them comfort and love as they live without a family. Please call someone to be their family.
Thank you Lord for families!
In Jesus' Holy and Glorious name,

Drawing - Pencil On Acid Free Paper
This work is pencil on acid free paper, it is one of my earlier portraits and still one of my favourites.
I have the original of this in a frame along with the photo I drew it from and after four years of displaying it on our market stall it still continues to attract a lot of interest. I am not sure why as my more recent work is improved on this one, I think it might be that I believe I have managed to capture the love between these two girls, I do strive to capture the subject's personality in my portrature. This work is not for sale at the moment.

Hi, Peter--I love this piece. This interest in this beautiful portrait has to do with the beauty and concept of the subject matter, as you surmise. A lot of people can identify with having a loving sister from childhood through the present moment. I don't know why you think your artistic rendering is not as good as it could be...as I think it is fantastic. All best.

Anyone Playing German Folk Tunes On A C/g Anglo?
AnnC replied to Canary Bird's topic in Tunes /SongsA small word of warning ..... some of the really good German tunes were 'appropriated' during WWII and had new words set to them. Luckily for me a friend recognised the tune I was happily playing with gusto was no longer known as 'The Adventurer', a song from the late 1800's, but had had new lyrics to it by Horst Wessell and was used as the Nazi party's song!! I'm told it's still illegal to play the tune in Germany ....... Having slightly older friends with good memories can be a blessing, all 'new to me' German folk tunes/ songs are now run past them and vetted to avoid causing offence.

Can One Use Basic Tutorials, Videos, Etc. For The C/g Instrument To Le
AnnC replied to Canary Bird's topic in Teaching and LearningIt should be fine, I've done something similar with a G/C melodeon using a tutor book for a D/G instrument. The pattern of the buttons you use will be the same on a C/G as on a G/D, as long as you're following the button instructions for the tunes you will be automatically transposing the tune into the right keys for your instrument. All the best 😊🎶

Time to Get in Gear for Better Together 2012!
The Wheel is pleased to announce that the 2012 Better Together Video Competition and Ireland's Charity Hero Award will both be opening for submissions at 9am on Thursday, 13 September.
Video Competition: WIN €3,000 and Raise Your Profile!
Community and voluntary groups, clubs and associations are invited to submit your short video clips to www.bettertogether.ie from 13 September. Your video should aim to tell us a story about:
- what your organisation does,
- why it matters, and
- why you think we are "better together".
It can be a new or existing video clip, but it must be no longer than two minutes. (Yes, we have decided to cut the maximum video length from three to two minutes for 2012 - giving you 120 seconds max to impress Ireland!)
In late September / early October (exact date TBC), we'll be holding a public campaign launch, at which point we will also be inviting the public to start voting for all their favourite videos. The top 30 videos will be shortlisted in three organisational categories (big, medium and small/voluntary) and the winners in each category will receive a €3,000 cash prize!
Not sure where to begin? Get your movie-making mojo on the flo-jo right now by browsing through the 2011 Better Together Video Competition shortlist. Or, have a read through our updated Lights, Camera, Action! guide to making an online video.
Ireland's Charity Hero Award (€1,000 prize)
The 2012 Better Together Ireland's Charity Hero Award celebrates the great and selfless work being done by countless volunteers for good causes up and down the country. And let's face it - has the need for these local heroes ever been greater?
A Note about the Giving Challenge
Due to the unprecedented success of the 2011 Better Together Giving Challenge (which raised a heap of cash for good causes) we have decided to give it its very own spot in the limelight. Thus, the Better Together Giving Challenge will now run in the spring of 2013 as a standalone competition.
Key Dates for Your Diary:
- 13 September: Video Competition & Ireland's Charity Hero Award open for entries
- 24 September: Public launch / voting opens (start rallying your supporters!)
- 5 November: Both competitions close to submissions
- 19 November: Voting closes (judging to follow)
- 6 December: Better Together Awards (winners announced).

Taking Care of Ourselves
One of the things I admire about President Obama is his unwillingness to address the "concerns" that he hasn't done enough for the black community. Some influential African Americans (as well as some pseudo-influential ones) have wondered aloud if the president is doing all he should to take care of "his people."
Well, apparently he's done something right, because "the African American church" is coming to the White House today to encourage him to "stay the course:"
The preachers, who represent some of the largest African American churches in the country, have written an open letter to the president that praises the job Obama has done and encourages him to "stay the course."
"President Obama has pursued policies that are crucial for our communities and the nation as a whole, and we cannot afford to lose courage and fortitude at this juncture," reads the letter, which more than 30 ministers signed. "President Obama has fought for us — and we must fight for him. . . . We have been troubled by the trivial debates that have become more prominent in Washington and across the country, while at the same time our families are facing historic challenges."
First off, there is no monolithic "African American church." There is a religious experience that's common to many blacks, but to loop us all into a single group shows a real disconnect to our community. There's many detractors of the President in among black preachers and predominately black denominations.
There's no doubt the black community's hurting-that was the case long before Obama became president, and-realistically speaking-will continue long after he leaves office. It's also true that we take on a disporportionate amount of the stings that come from high unemployment, economic problems, etc.
Problem is, though, that the cures for those ills aren't found in "jobs" bills, "stimulus" programs and establishing a new massive entitlement program. And they're not found in funnelling more jobs and money to any one specific demographic over another. Taking those actions only continues a cycle of dependence that, once entered, is hard as hell to leave. Not to mention that because we're more adversely affected by economic downturns, we're also more adversely affected when the tax bills come due.
I give Obama credit for realizing that he's the president of all Americans, and that his policies have an effect on all of us-regardless of our skin color. Even as a detractor of his, that's something I hope he keeps in the front of his mind.
In a way, it's keeping in line with a fairly conservative viewpoint, as well as one of my own principles. I think by keeping out of this argument, the president's saying that the black community is going to have to lift itself up-just like other communities across America have to lift themselves up. Taking responsibility for yourself and those around you, without expecting the government to provide more than the rights granted you by God, only enhances the worth of individual freedom.
As urban conservatives, we should have an agenda that's centered on our communities; that focuses on the problems specific to where we live. Here's what we should focus on to align ourselves with the people we interact with:
- Entrepenuership and higher education. I have a good friend on Facebook who suggested that (and I'm paraphrasing a lot) we should encourage graduates of medical assisting programs (you know, the ones you see on TV all the time) to pursue the education that will make them doctors and nurses, or at the very least take their knowledge into business for themselves. Focusing on this example-since blacks are severly affected by health problems-those who complain that the black community needs more medical resources should take the time to encourage and groom those among them that can to do so.
- Reinvestment. As these entrepenuers begin to provide their services, we should encourage and support them with our dollars. This keeps money in our communities, and allows business builders to support others. With that, we create a cycle that's dependent on what we give to ourselves, and not what the government can give us.
The "black agenda" is the American agenda. We're all hurting today, and while things are looking up, we're all going to continue to hurt for a while. To single out one group for a "disproportionate" federal response neglects the needs of others whose situations are no less important-and in many ways, no less dire.
If a disproportionate response is needed, we can provide it within our communities ourselves.
But only if we choose to.

One Response
"Problem is, though, that the cures for those ills aren't found in "jobs" bills, "stimulus" programs and establishing a new massive entitlement program. And they're not found in funnelling more jobs and money to any one specific demographic over another. Taking those actions only continues a cycle of dependence that, once entered, is hard as hell to leave. Not to mention that because we're more adversely affected by economic downturns, we're also more adversely affected when the tax bills come due."
None of these sentences follow from one another logically, and many are contradicted by research.
What does follow is that economic parity is what will keep the black community from being "adversely affected" in the future. The only thing that has shown promise with respect to group-based solutions is, in fact, affirmative action–relying on groups of people to "pull themselves up by their bootstraps" is not only insulting ("you people just aren't trying hard enough!" –Bill Cosby), it's ineffective against entrenched racism.
Two points:
First, the open market has proven time and again to be perfectly capable of incorporating anti-black racism. A long term audit study by Devah Pager suggests that given exactly the same credentials, blacks WITHOUT a criminal record are as likely to be given a job interview as whites WITH a criminal record. Does this suggest to you that the "free market" will ultimately benefit black people or that the market is not only not free but actively biased against blacks?
Second, education won't save anybody either. Or, more accurately, education won't save groups, although individuals will benefit. If everyone under the poverty line went out and got a law degree or a medical degree, we'd have a lot of unemployed lawyers and doctors. The American system of stratification isn't elastic–unemployment and low wages are built into the system. Entitlements are EXACTLY what we need–once we raise the socioeconomic "floor", then we can worry about restructuring the economy to allow everyone a chance to reach the "ceiling".
Stop reading Charles Murray, Richard Herrnstein, James Q Wilson, and Thomas Sowell. No one who seriously studies social issues takes them seriously, not because they're "mavericks", but because none of their conclusions actually hold up.

Rain welcomes us to Sydney!! But, we managed to get around although couldnt do justice for the nine hours we were there because of this inclement weather. We managed to go around the Opera house ,walk around the Botanical gardens and see the Famous Harbour Bridge and The Rocks,the designer shopping area. This has to be one of the best Harbour cities in the world. We got on the hop on/off bus to go around the city to see the sites.
Next day we were given Luncheon reception by the Managing Director of P&O,Carol Marlow.In the evening ex Aussie cricketers Neil Harvey,Alan Davidson, Bob Simpson,Brian Booth and Frank Mission gave us their stories in Cricket in their haydays! We missed Richie Benaud because he was in when we were out sight seeing!!
Brisbane was fantastic! Temp 25c Warm and lovely.Easy to walk around and we were impressed with the blend of old and new Buildings. Walked through the Goodwill Bridge,where you could hire Bikes to around if one likes,over the Brisbane river and walked along the south bank with Maritime Museum,Memorial Park and the different pools for families and children,and the Nepalese Pagoda built in 1988 for the Expo.Also saw the Performing arts Theatre and then walked back the Victoria Bridge to the city: Buzzing with christmas shoppers. Saw few cathedrals and churches and were picked up by the courtesy bus in time for our 45 minutes ride back to the ship.

The Ferretti Family!
(Gene, Dana, & Nick)
This month we have chosen to highlight one of our SMCF Families, the Ferrettis! We can't say enough positive things about this crew. They role deep, work hard, and have a great sense of style while doing it. Gene helps out the coaching staff at SMCF, Dana is a yogi turne CrossFitter, and Nick is basically a ROCK STAR (not literally). We love seeing them all in the gym together and have watched each of them grow over the years. Here's a little more about our SMCF athlete(s) of the month!
Here's a little about Gene the Machine:
I have been doing CrossFit for over almost 4 years now. Got my level I certification mainly so I could be better at CrossFit, but still love to teach when I have the time.
My favorite movements are body weight movements, but as far as the barbell goes, I love to do squat cleans. By far the worst thing in CrossFit is the AAB.
Favorite cheat meal would be raw cookie dough, Don't judge me.
I like to Bike and Hike in my spare time.
My favorite CrossFit moments involve competing. Placing third at the 2nd annual Rally in the Valley was my best individual moment, (should have taken 2nd, but dropped my last jerk in the finals. Still have nightmares about that one. Also, winning partner comps with Tony C. and Kim H. at Masters Arctic Blast in 2015 and 2016 and Duffy at this years Weyerbacher. My advice to new CrossFitters would be to be patient, trust your coaches and have fun!
Here's a little more about Dana:
I have been doing Crossfit for over almost 3 years now.
I love to snatch and do OH squats. I try to avoid any kind of running whatsoever, regardless of the distance!.
My favorite food is pizza and I would spend most of my days at the beach if I could.
My favorite moment in CrossFit was the in house comp with Gene, Tony and Trish.
My advise to new CrossFitters would be to just do it! you will have fun, meet awesome people and make life long friendships! As well as fit into your jeans.
Here's a little more about Nick:
I have been doing CrossFit for 2 years.
My favorite movement is the deadlift and my least favorite are the burpees!!
Although I have an unusually fast metabolism and can basically eat anything I want, my favorite cheat meal is Chik-fil-A1 I could eat it everyday!
In my free time, I enjoy playing on line video games with my friends, I am also a drummer for the School of Rock and am
involved in the HS musical.
My favorite CrossFit experience was my first Shelly WOD that I did with my dad.
My best advice for newcomers would be to bring a friend. It adds that sense of competition and extra fun….even if burpess are involved!
