Re: The Tyger
I worked this design to almost completion several times, but felt each time that it was overdesigned. I ultimately decided to go for something simple but striking. Hope you guys enjoy the outcome
Canis Major, a poem by Robert Frost. ...WHAT?
The great Overdog
That heavenly beast
With a star in one eye
Gives a leap in the east.
He dances upright
All the way to the west
And never once drops
On his forefeet to rest.
I'm a poor underdog,
But to-night I will bark
With the great Overdog
That romps through the dark.
Really straightforward here, but I'm fighting exhaustion this week. The constellation isn't meant to be totally accurate, since the star wouldn't be in his eye-area, but I was trying to reflect the poem more than anything. This dog is also less majestic and more playful, but, DOGGY, so. COLOOOORRRRS. Four of them on navy. I could have also included Canis Minor, but... so tired. So tired.
Re: A Little Victory - 'To a mouse'
Raiding the wheat shed, the tiniest of victories matter a whole lot to a mouse. ^__^
This is based on the work of Scotland's most famous poet Robbie Burns',"To a mouse".
"I doubt not, sometimes, but you may steal;
What then? Poor beast, you must live!
An odd ear in twenty-four sheaves
Is a small request;
I will get a blessing with what is left,
And never miss it."
See a BIG VERSION of the shirt! This is six colors on brown.
Thanks for looking, please vote if you like this design.
Re: I know why the caged bird sings
A portion of poem:
The caged bird sings with
A fearful trill of things unknown
But longed for still and his
Tune is heard on the distant hill
For the caged bird sings of freedom.
Re: Where The Sidewalk Ends
Shel Silverstein - Where the sidewalk ends
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we'll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we'll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
Vote it, Love it, Comment on it...
Re: Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat
In the watches of the night he is always fresh and bright;
Every now and then he has a cup of tea
With perhaps a drop of Scotch while he's keeping on the watch,
Only stopping here and there to catch a flea.
Re: Do not go gentle into that good night
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.
-Dylan Thomas
Re: The Writer
Based off of my favorite poem, "The Writer", by Richard Wilbur. The speaker uses sailing metaphors and imagery to describe his daughter's journey as a writer and as a person. Also there is a bird.
5 colors on navy.
Re: The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock
Inspired by this stanza of "The Love Song of J. Alfred Prufrock" (1920) by T.S. Eliot:
Shall I part my hair behind? Do I dare to eat a peach?
I shall wear white flannel trousers, and walk upon the beach.
I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each.
I do not think that they will sing to me.
Re: Like A Rollingstone
Once upon a time you dressed so fine
You threw the bums a dime in your prime, didn't you?
People'd call, say, "Beware doll, you're bound to fall"
You thought they were all kiddin' you
You used to laugh about
Everybody that was hangin' out
Now you don't talk so loud
Now you don't seem so proud
About having to be scrounging for your next meal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be without a home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?
Princess on the steeple and all the pretty people
They're drinkin', thinkin' that they got it made
Exchanging all kinds of precious gifts and things
But you'd better lift your diamond ring, you'd better pawn it babe
You used to be so amused
At Napoleon in rags and the language that he used
Go to him now, he calls you, you can't refuse
When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose
You're invisible now, you got no secrets to conceal
How does it feel
How does it feel
To be on your own
With no direction home
Like a complete unknown
Like a rolling stone?

Re: Namárië/Aldudénië (Tolkien)
This could actually be inspired by 3-5 poems from Tolkien's works.
The Aldudenie:
"A poem lamenting the death of the TwoTrees, composed by Elemmíre of the Vanyar," but never recorded.
This would be the most literal work to interpret from, but the Namarie is supposed to have echoed the lament of the Aldudenie as the fading of Lothlorien, which was said to he an heir of the light from one of the two trees, Laurelin, the younger of the two.
by J. R. R. Tolkien
Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
Yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier

Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar!
Nai elyë hiruva! Namárië!
Ah! like gold fall the leaves in the wind,
Long years numberless as the wings of trees!
The long years have passed like swift draughts
Of the sweet mead in lofty halls
Beyond the West, beneath the blue vaults of Varda
Wherein the stars tremble
In the voice of her song, holy and queenly.
Who now shall refill the cup for me?
For now the Kindler, Varda, the Queen of the stars,
From Mount Everwhite has uplifted her hands like clouds
And all paths are drowned deep in shadow;
And out of a grey country darkness lies
On the foaming waves between us,
And mist covers the jewels of Calacirya for ever.
Now lost, lost to those of the East is Valimar!
Farewell! Maybe thou shalt find Valimar!
Maybe even thou shalt find it! Farewell!

Re: Humpty's End
This makes me think of a recent article that asked why everyone assumes Humpty Dumpty is an egg. I mean, he's portrayed that way, but it's never really said in the poem, is it?
Re: Falling Up
In honor of Uncle Shelby
Falling Up:
I tripped on my shoelace
And I fell up—
Up to the roof tops,
Up over the town,
Up past the tree tops,
Up over the mountains,
Up where the colors
Blend into the sounds.
But it got me so dizzy
When I looked around,
I got sick to my stomach
And I threw down.
Re: Forbidden Fruit
I took a deeper poem and simplified its romantic yet wistful serious tones into a classic image of forbidden fruit. Two colors on red. Enjoy!
"Forbidden Fruit"
by Michael Lally
all the forbidden fruit I ever
dreamt of--or was taught to
resist and fear--ripens and
blossoms under the palms of my
hands as they uncover and explore
you--and in the most secret
corners of my heart as it discovers
and adores you--the forbidden fruit
of forgiveness--the forbidden fruit
of finally feeling the happiness
you were afraid you didn't deserve--
the forbidden fruit of my life's labor
--the just payment I have avoided
since my father taught me how--
the forbidden fruit of the secret
language of our survivors' souls as
they unfold each others secret
ballots--the ones where we voted
for our first secret desires to come
true--there's so much more
I want to say to you--but for
the first time in my life I'm at
a loss for words--because
(I understand at last)
I don't need them
to be heard by you.

Re: Cobalt
by Rolf Jacobsen
Colors are words' little sisters. They can't become soldiers.
I've loved them secretly for a long time.
They have to stay home and hang up the sheer curtains
in our ordinary bedroom, kitchen, and alcove.
I'm very close to young Crimson, and brown Sienna,
But even closer to thoughtful Cobalt with her distant eyes and
untrampled spirit.
We walk in dew.
The night sky and the southern oceans
are her possessions.
and a tear-shaped pendant on her forehead:
the pearls of Cassiopeia.
We walk in dew on late nights.
But the others.
Meet them on a June morning at four o' clock
When they come rushing toward you,
On your way to a morning swim in the green cove's spray.
Then you can sunbathe with them on the smooth rocks.
Which one will you make yours?
Re: April Rain Song, Langston Hughes
April Rain Song
Let the rain kiss you
Let the rain beat upon your head with silver liquid drops
Let the rain sing you a lullaby
The rain makes still pools on the sidewalk
The rain makes running pools in the gutter
The rain plays a little sleep song on our roof at night
And I love the rain.
-Langston Hughes
brilliant coloring, spirit! I love the blue of the mouse against and the woven background.
Wonderful! I love the colors.
Oooooh! They glow, just like they're supposed to!
EPIC. o_O
This is so sweet. I love it. :> The colors are so warm.
Re: A Nauseous Nocturne
A Nauseous Nocturne
Another night deprived of slumber,
Hours passing without number,
My eye trace 'round the room. I lay
Dripping sweat and now quite certain
That tonight the final curtain
Drops upon my life's short precious play.
From the darkness, by the closet
Comes a noise, much like a faucet
Makes: a madd'ning drip-drip-dripping sound.
It seems some ill-proportioned beast,
Anticipating me deceased,
Is drooling poison puddles on the ground..
A can of mace, a forty-five,
Is all I'd need to stay alive,
But no weapon lies within my sight.
Oh my gosh! A shadow's creeping,
Ominous ans black, it's seeping
Slowly 'cross a moonlit square of light!
Suddenly a floorboard creak
Anounces the bloodsucking freak
Is here to steal my future years away!
A sulf'rous smell now fills the room
Heralding my imm'nent doom!
A fang gleams in the dark and murky gray!
Oh, blood-red eyes a tentacles!
Throbbing, pulsing ventricles!
Mucus-oozing porses and frightful claws!
Worse, in terms of outright scariness,
Are the suckers multifarious
That grab and force you in its mighty jaws!
This disgusting aberration
Of nature needs no motivation
To devour helpless children in their beds.
Relishing despairing moans,
It chews kids up and sucks their bones,
And disolves inside its mouth their li'l heads!
I know this 'cause I read it not
Two hours ago and then I got
The heebie-jeebies and these awful shakes.
My parents swore upon their honor
That I was safe, and not a goner.
I guess tomorrow they'll see their sad mistakes.
In the morning, they'll come in
And say, "What was that awful din
We heard last night? You kept us both from sleep!"
Only then will they surmise
The gruesomeness of my demise
And see that my remains are in a heap.
Dad will look at Mom and say,
"Too bad he had to go that way."
And Mom will look at Dad and nod assent.
Mom will add, "Still, it's fitting,
That as he was this world quiting,
He should leave another mess before he went."
They may not miss me first, I know.
They will miss me later, though,
And perhaps admit that they were wrong.
As memories of me grow dim,
They'll say, "We were too strict with him.
We should have listened to him all along."
As speedily my end approaches,
I bid a final "buenas noches"
To my best friend in the world.
Gently snoring, whiskers seeming
To sniff at smells (he must be dreaming),
He lies snuggled in the blackets curled.
Suddenly the monster knows I'm not alone!
There's an animal in bed with me!
an awful beast he did not see!
The monster never would've come if he had know!
The monster, in his confernation,
Demonstrates defenestration,
And runs and runs and runs and runs away.
Rid of the pest,
I now can rest,
Thanks to my best friend, who saved the day.

Re: I Wandered Lonely as a Cloud
I Wandered Lonely As A Cloud - by William Wordsworth
I wandered lonely as a cloud
That floats on high o'er vales and hills,
When all at once I saw a crowd,
A host, of golden daffodils;
Beside the lake, beneath the trees,
Fluttering and dancing in the breeze.
Here's a close-up
Haha, darn you're good at this funny shirt designing business. :D
Keep it up Rad! This is awesome.

Re: How Doth the Little Crocodile
"How doth the little crocodile
Improve his shining tail,
And pour the waters of the Nile
On every golden scale!
How cheerfully he seems to grin,
How neatly spreads his claws,
And welcomes little fishes in
With gently smiling jaws!" -Lewis Carroll
I don't know why the design appears fuzzy, but the original design I submitted is most definitely not!

Re: Fire and Ice - Robert Frost
Fire and Ice
Some say the world will end in fire,
Some say in ice.
From what I've tasted of desire
I hold with those who favor fire.
But if it had to perish twice,
I think I know enough of hate
To say that for destruction ice
Is also great
And would suffice.

Parisian Halloween
20 comments:
So the mistake was meant to be :-)ReplyDelete
Inspired by your lovely photos I wanted to take photos in a chocolate shop in Newcastle a couple of weeks ago. I did something wrong though. I asked permission from the owner. And got a negative answer :-(
So happy to read your writings every morning... coffe and Paris breakfasts ... that's a good start!ReplyDelete
- Anonymous1:40 PM
Carol, It seems your holiday in Paris is wonderful. I was wondering if you have been seeing watercolor travel sketchbooks published books there from various artists. Which would be very interesting to see. If you run across books of intrest would you let us know and maybe we can get some of these to look at.ReplyDelete
I hope your journey is good,have a great day,

Dear Carol(now with an Ocean between us),ReplyDelete
I think I´m late on Europe but I think I´m on time in USA to wish you a nice Thanks Giving day.
I hope you´ll keep on writing on your woderful blog from NY,I´ll wait for your beautiful watercolours&photos from the "Big Apple".
Mes mieux veux pour toi.
Smila ;)
Cin Unfortunately Valrhona does not show up at these events. They don't have to. They were at the July fancy food show for the trade..that was different. And I saw such a nice Valrhona tasting box at the CDG duty-free but I didn't buy it. kick-kick :(ReplyDelete
Yes Becca I made a fool of myself over the non "Maddie". I'm glad it wasn't Sarah's doggie.. Occasionally a PB fan will turn up at Kremer Pigments, usually end-of-day when I'm covered in pigment dust and grumpy and not looking the least bit like I just ate a Paris Breakfast, so just as well :)
S.Jersey Boy, I was just informed that Old Soul's Day started in France (I thought It was England..) so perhaps they can claim Halloween as theirs? I have to check this out...
Smila we have a bit of time before Thanksgiving Thanks Gawd! but no matter:)
THANKS for stopping by Constance and Carla and everyone else!Now to go post today's choco story...
I am so glad you are as mad about chocolate, Parisian chocolate as I am. Have you tried Pierre Herme?ReplyDelete

A 3-year-old boy in South Carolina was killed when he and his 7-year-old sister played with a bubble-gum pink gun they mistook for a toy. It's unclear which child fired the weapon. The childrens' grandparents were babysitting, but in another room when the incident occurred. Authorities are not saying how the kids got access to the gun.
Candy-colored guns are part of an effort on the part of gun manufacturers to make pistols more attractive to women. One gun owner even modified an AR-15 to create a Hello Kitty assault rifle. However, colors can also make them more appealing to kids.
Plus: The Day I Got Rid of Our Toy Guns
Now some parents are calling on lawmakers to stop the manufacture and sale of these guns. From the petition on change.org:
"We ask that gun makers be responsible and stop making and selling hand guns and rifles that are brightly colored. These weapons look like toys. This is dangerous for children and law enforcement who cant distinguish the difference between a toy and the real thing.
We regulate toy makers in this country and expect them to have high standards of safety…the gun industry should do the same. We call for action on this immediately."
What do you think: Should colored guns be outlawed? Leave a comment.

In hatcheries, science works to jumpstart nature
Restoring oysters and an oyster economy in the Chesapeake starts in hatchery labs, where scientists are filling the gap in hopes nature will take over from there.
The University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science Horn Point Hatchery in Cambridge — expanded last year to produce up to two billion spat a year — grows the larvae, nursing the tiny babies as they attach to a hard surface — old oyster shell. Other oyster babies are grown in a smaller state hatchery at Piney Point in St. Mary's County.
When larvae bond to shell, they become spat, on the way to growing into new Bay oysters.
1. Where Life Begins
To jumpstart Mother Nature's cycle, adult oysters are collected and conditioned to spawn. Controlled rise in water temperature signals the change of season that triggers the oysters to release their gametes. If the oysters are stubborn, the hatchery puts sperm or eggs in the tank to start the chain reaction of the release. Talk about an aphrodisiac.
2. The Larvae Tanks
Scientists then combine the correct ratio of eggs and sperm into 30-gallon buckets carried to 10,000-gallon tanks, where larvae form and grow.
Horn Point's Remote Setting Program also transports tanks to aquaculturists in the field, like the Witts in Shady Side.
As the larvae grow, the big tanks are drained through a sieve. The larvae are sifted by size, the large ones moving on and the small ones going back to keep growing.
3. An Algae Banquet
In a greenhouse, the hatchery also grows the algae the larvae eat. Algae is bottled at different concentrations and fed into the larve tank.
4. The Teen Years
Teen larvae go to settling tanks to attach to oyster shells, becoming spat. The Oyster Recovery Partnership now takes over, filling tanks with oyster shells and ambient river water. Air blowers keep the water moving, making for more spat and an even distribution of salt.
5. Going in the Bay
After abour 48 hours, a sample of shell from the tanks is measured for the amount of set spat. At Horn Point, program director Donald Meritt analyzes the shell to count how many larvae have connected.
If the spat need more time to grow, the oyster cages go to the Choptank River in the shallow nursery area to grow larger in a protected area while freeing up the tanks for the next batch.
Once big enough, spat goes out for planting in sanctuaries, citizen and community oyster gardens and in aquaculture operations.

Kristie Ann Bartlett, 58 - January 22, 2013Kristie Ann (Rodine) Bartlett, 58, of Cozad, formerly of Gothenburg, passed away on Tuesday, Jan. 22, 2013, at the Cozad Community Hospital after a courageous battle with cancer.
Memorial services will take place at the First Baptist Church, 1002 Ave. C, in Gothenburg on Saturday, Feb. 2, at 1 p.m.
Bartlett was born Aug. 12, 1954, at Fort Sill, OK, daughter of Wallace and Delores (Bailey) Rodine. She moved with her family to Custer County, north of Gothenburg, and attended country school at New Hope, where she was active in the New Hope Church and the New Hope community.
At the age of 6, she was led to her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ by her mother, family members said. Sunday school and church continued to be an important part of her life. She was a member of the Cozad Bible Church, where she was active with Sunday School and Adventure Club.
She graduated from Gothenburg High School in 1973, and later earned a bachelor degree in early childhood elementary education from the University of Nebraska at Kearney.
On Sept. 11, 1976, she was united in marriage to Joe Bartlett at the Evangelical-Free Church in Gothenburg. To this union, two children were born.
Bartlett taught preschool in Gothenburg and was a special education teacher at Brady and Lexington High Schools.
She was passionate about education and enjoyed working with children, according to family members. She took joy in serving others through education and working with youth in the Gothenburg, Cozad, Brady and Lexington areas.
Bartlett also enjoyed her garden and had a great love of music, sharing that with family, friends and her church communities, family said.
She was preceded in death by: her grandparents, Ted and Nora Rodine; her mother-in-law, Catherine Bartlett.
Survivors include: her husband, Joe Bartlett; her daughter, Mara (Todd) Teske of Minneapolis, MN; a son, Brody Bartlett of Lincoln; father, Wallace E.

Other South African cities might just be forced to look up to Cape Town when it comes to a sustainable and integrated transport system.
The City of Cape Town's Council has adopted the City's Integrated Public Transport Network (IPTN) Business Plan which proposes significant involvement of the minibus-taxi industry in future MyCiTi service roll-outs.
The plan also outlines a long-term financial and fiscal sustainability and integration of innovative information technology to the transport system. Here are three ways the city plans to implement these ideas:
1. Modernising the mini-bus taxi system
Many will agree that South Africa's mini-bus taxi system needs a major re-haul and upgrade in systems. The IPTN plan has also acknowledged this and identifies the minibus-taxi industry as pivotal in establishing a fully integrated public transport system in Cape Town. The City's Mayoral Committee Member for Transport and Urban Development, Councillor Brett Herron said: "In fact, we foresee that by formalising and modernising the minibus-taxi industry, the operators will become our partners in transforming the method and ease of commuting in Cape Town. As such, the IPTN Business Plan states that minibus-taxis will provide on-demand services in future MyCiTi service roll-outs and transport commuters to stations and stops from where commuters can transfer to a MyCiTi trunk route which operates on dedicated right-of-way red roads." The City has realised that removing the mini-bus taxi from its routes will not be sustainable in future and therefore any infrastructure designed around the MyCiTi needs to facilitate transfers to mini-bus taxi routes.
2. Integrating innovative information technology within the transport system
IPTN Plan takes into account the emerging information technology services that are revolutionising public transport across the world. This technology would enable tracking of all public transport vehicles in real time through a single system. Mobile device applications can also be developed to enable a user to see a route, mode and price options in real time, including details of transfers between modes and total trip time options. It also allows users to track, in real time, the vehicle they need to catch so that they can get to the required station or stop on time.
3. Integrating a new generation fare system across all modes of transport
In future, the plan is set to create a cost-effective fare system that can be integrated across all modes of transport including mini-bus taxis. Through e-hailing, minibus-taxi operators will benefit from lower costs, less congestion, and increased passenger numbers. The commuters will also benefit because an integrated system makes it easier to travel across different modes of transport. Over time the aim of the plan is to improve the integration between all scheduled public transport services such as the MyCiTi service, rail, other quality bus services, and minibus-taxis, and to create demand-responsive services.
This plan aims to push the transition from private to public transport in the Western Cape in the future.

President Barack Obama stepped up the pressure on House Republicans Wednesday to take up immigration reform while his staff has sought to tamper speculation that he will take up independent executive action to reduce deportations of those here illegally.
Obama said in statement that there was still time for Republican leaders in the House to bring an immigration overhaul vote to the floor.
"Unfortunately, Republicans in the House of Representatives have repeatedly failed to take action, seemingly preferring the status quo of a broken immigration system over meaningful reform," President Obama said in a statement Wednesday.
The statement comes a day after Obama met with faith leaders who support immigration reform. He told them he did not have plans to take independent action on an immigration overhaul, according to attendees.
Obama had asked Homeland Security Director Jeh Johnson to review ways to reduce the number of people deported from the United States. But White House press secretary Jay Carney says those steps are different than implementing some kind of immigration overhaul on his own.
Cecilia Muñoz, a top Obama adviser, said told Fusion's León Krauze that the White House's focus is on Congress.
"What people are asking is that the president simply say he's not going to enforce the law with respect to 8 million — 10 million people, which is more than your executive authority allows you to do," she said. "The answer to this conundrum is, and has always been, legislation."

Good morning. I'm Steve Inskeep with an example of home field advantage. The Miami Dolphins hosted the Seattle Seahawks over the weekend. And with 1:40 to play in the third quarter, something strange happened: The sprinklers came on. A quick play-by-play announcer joked: This is just Miami's way of showing a little Seattle hospitality. But if that's what it was, the hospitality only went so far. Miami defeated Seattle, 24-21. You're listening to MORNING EDITION. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Katie Holmes's Dead Accounts Closing in January
It will have given 44 non-preview performances.
Dead Accounts, featuring Katie Holmes as "a ground-down never-was with body image issues and a crater where her confidence should be," is closing on Jan. 6, 2013. Directed by Jack O'Brien and written by Smash's Theresa Rebeck, the dramedy will have given 27 previews and 44 regular shows. New York's Scott Brown dubbed it "kinda populist, faintly retrograde, somewhat pander-prone," and singled out Holmes's performance as "insanely miscast but sunnily game."

This mornings bake
I have changed the feeding of my levain. I now feed it 1: .5: .5 every 24 hours. It has been a week now. The bake this morning produced a house full of nice sour smells. I tasted this loaf and still no tangy bread. This bulk fermented at room temp then went into the fridge overnight for final proofing. Im happy with the results. A nice crunchy crust and soft crumb. I would like to have a more sour flavor to it. Im thinking of increasing the levain in the dough. My levain sits at room temp and this time of the year is around 65 degrees. I think warming it up by 10 degrees would help with the sourness of everything. Below are the bakers percent of what I did. The loaf pictured is 600g and baked at 425 F for 45 min in a cast iron double cooker. The first 15 min covered.
Flour, 12% protein: 100%
water : 63%
salt, kosher: 2%
prefermented flour: 33%
levain is 100% hydration

Professor publishes controversial book on Easter Island discoveriesUniversity of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa
Terry Hunt, (808) 956-7310
Professor, Anthropology
Professor, Anthropology
Posted: Jun 23, 2011
Generating controversy weeks ahead of its release, Terry Hunt and Carl Lipo's story of scientific discovery presents revisionist theories about Easter Island. Hunt is Director of the Honors Program and Professor of Anthropology at the University of Hawaiʻi at Mānoa and Lipo is a Professor of Archaeology at California State University Long Beach.
Their recently released book, THE STATUES THAT WALKED: Unraveling the Mystery of Easter Island (published by Free Press), explores why the inhabitants of Easter Island, the Rapanui, built hundreds of eerie monumental stone sculptures, called moai, and what caused the dramatic collapse of their society. The prevailing theory—endorsed by Diamond, Bahn, Flenley and others—describes Easter Island as the worst-case scenario of "ecocide," with a culture so obsessed with its statue-making and so ruthless in decimating the island's environment that it caused its own dramatic demise.
Initially when Hunt and Lipo began carrying out archaeological studies on the island in 2001, they fully expected to find evidence supporting these accounts. But making one stunning discovery after another—which they describe in a lively and fascinating narrative of the way the mystery unfolded—Hunt and Lipo uncovered a very different story. Their first major discovery—that the island was settled much later than previously thought—made major news when it was announced in 2006, from The New York Times to Fox News to USA Today.
Since then the authors have made a series of striking discoveries, now revealed in THE STATUES THAT WALKED, including:
- The lush forest that once covered the island was not destroyed by the human inhabitants, but by an exploding population of rats (brought to the island either as stowaways or as a source of food).
- Far from ravaging their island's resources, the Rapanui were in fact remarkably careful stewards of their environment.
- The popular portrayal of an island dominated by a strong central ruling authority, or torn apart by warring tribes, is wrong.
- Building and placing the moai was not a burden on the culture, but instead a vital part of enabling the culture to thrive against all odds.
- The massive stone statues were surprisingly easy to move over great distances, due to an ingenious design that enabled a handful of men to "walk" them for many miles.
So what caused the collapse? Hunt and Lipo make an iron-clad case for a radically different answer: that the decline of Easter Island began with the first extended contact between the Rapanui and Europeans, starting in the 18th century.
Hunt has spent the past thirty-five years doing archaeological field research in the Pacific Islands, and his teaching and research efforts at Easter Island and elsewhere have been honored by University of Hawaiʻi Board of Regents Medals for both Excellence in Research and Excellence in Teaching.

Leaves of Absence for Faculty with Grants and Fellowships
Faculty who win prestigious grants that contribute to their professional development and to the reputation of Barnard College may apply to the Provost and Dean of Faculty for supplemental salary and benefits as outlined below.
The College has always supported the maintenance of full non-salary based benefits during fellowship leaves. Faculty who receive continued benefits will be responsible for their share of contribution while the College contributes its portion.
a. Sabbatical and other Accrued Leave
A faculty member who receives a grant/fellowship for a semester when they would otherwise have earned a College leave, will receive a College salary supplement that brings them to full salary.
b. Periods of Unpaid Leave
A faculty member who receives a grant or fellowship for a subsequent semester can apply to the Provost and Dean of the Faculty for a salary supplement in order to maintain full salary during the leave.
For junior faculty, College salary supplement to the full salary will typically be granted, assuming that the leave without pay and grant/fellowship application has been discussed with and approved by the Provost and Dean of Faculty prior to the junior faculty member's applying for the grant/fellowship.
For tenured faculty, College salary supplement will equal up to 50% of their semester/year salary (depending on the relevant length of leave and not to exceed their full salary) at the time of the grant, assuming that the leave without pay and grant/fellowship application has been discussed with and approved by the Provost and Dean of Faculty prior to the tenured faculty member's applying for the grant/fellowship. For tenured faculty, an adjustment of sabbatical schedule may be requested by the Provost and Dean of Faculty to help ease the resource impact on the College of a salary supplement and may also be combined with a salary supplement to bring the tenured faculty member to full pay.
Approval of a salary supplement is not automatic, and will depend on the ability of the faculty member's department and program to staff courses in the faculty members absence, on the prestige of the grant, and on the frequency with which the faculty member has received unpaid and College salary supplemented leaves.
Faculty must hold tenured or tenure-eligible appointments. Faculty holding appointment in the Professor of Professional Practice series are also eligible.
A faculty member who receives a salary supplement is obligated, as with sabbatical leaves, to file a report upon return to the College, to the Provost and Dean of Faculty summarizing their leave.
Faculty in their terminal year of employment at the College are not eligible; all faculty must return to the College for at least one year following a College salary supplemented leave of this kind.
This policy pertains to grants that are received once per three year cycle. More frequent applications for institutional top-off will be reviewed by the Provost in consultation with the department chair.
Approved by Department Chairs and Program Directors in Fall 2013

Gitlo Lee, "Comin' Out the Hole" (Chuckie Productions)
Gitlo Lee sings with glee, whether the subject is beer, large women, collard greens, silk sheets, the Okefenokee Swamp or coffee in the morning — one of his euphemisms for sex.
Lee covers a lot of ground here, 12 bars at a time, and it's understandable if he's trying to make up for lost decades. The barroom bluesman from Georgia is in his 60s, but "Comin' Out the Hole" is his first album.
It was worth the wait.
While Lee has been touring the Chitlin' Circuit for nearly half a century, he retains an enthusiasm for performing that's evident in his commanding tenor, and he delivers even his most corny lyrics with relish. "I love me a woman so big when she backs up she goes, 'Beep, beep, beep, beep,'" he sings on "Big Legged Women."
By comparison, Lee's guitar playing is restrained but carries a sting, and Adrian Boudreaux supplies frequent and welcomed keyboard solos. Best among Lee's 10 original tunes are three that recall 1970s Memphis soul, and everything swings, even the ballads.
"Comin' Out the Hole" might rank as the debut of the year — among sexagenarians at least.

COLUMBIA, SC (WIS) - It appears Marcus Lattimore's road to recovery is progressing in such a way that he's now able to run the stadium steps at his old stomping grounds.
A video posted on YouTube by his stepfather shows the NFL rookie pounding his way up the bleachers at Williams-Brice Stadium Monday.
The video titled 'Latt says "what knee surgery"' was posted after he ran the steps during the filming of an Under Armour commercial, according to Vernon Smith, Jr's YouTube post.
The former Gamecock running back was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the fourth round of the 2013 NFL Draft.
He is recovering from his second major knee surgery in as many years. The latest happening in a 2012 home game against Tennessee.
During an appearance in the Upstate Sunday, he said he won't be ready for training camp this summer, but hopes to join the team on the practice field at some point in the upcoming season.

July 26, 1979
To: All Employees
From: President Gail Fullerton
Subject: Salary Increases
It is a pleasure to be able to inform you of further favorable action by the Board of Trustees with respect to salary increases. At the July 18 meeting of the Board of Trustees, a raise of 9.3% for all employees was granted -- all that funds in the budget permitted at that time. However, the Board empowered the Faculty and Staff Affairs Committee to act on further increases in the event of a legislative override in the matter of CSUC salaries. As you are undoubtedly aware, the override was successful. Today, in an emergency meeting of the Committee on Faculty and Staff Affairs, the following actions were taken:
For the Academic Salary Group (faculty, librarians, student affairs officers, deans, vice presidents) "salary increases in the amount of approximately 14.35% are authorized for all classes in the academic salary group excluding Extension and Summer Session Faculty, effective July 1, 1979..." In addition to the 14.35%, certain classes of librarians (librarian-10 month, librarian-12 month, and Assistant Director of the Library) will receive an additional equity adjustment of approximately 5%.
For the Administrative, Support Staff, and other classes "Éa general salary increase of approximately 13% for all administrative, support staff and other classes, with the exception of Executive classes which will receive a 10.0% salary increase, and equity salary adjustments ranging from approximately 0.5% to 7.5% for selected classes... in addition to the 13.0% general salary increase, the precise amounts as shown on the Salary Schedule of The California State University and Colleges, effective July 1, 1979..."
The Board authorized an increase in the shift differential from 13¢ per hour to 23¢ per hour for the evening shift and from 18' per hour to 28' per hour for the night shift, effective July 1, 1979.
These actions supersede the action taken by the Board on July 18, 1979 which I reported to you in an earlier letter. That letter had also indicated that because of the possibility of a job action, all absences due to illness were to be certified by a physician. Because there seems to be little likelihood of a job action at this time, absences due to illness are now subject to the prior requirements for verification.
If you have any questions, please contact either your immediate supervisor or Mr. Milioto in the Personnel Office.

For Old Masters and Art Students Alike, Drawing Is a Way to Unlock Creativity
Artsy Editorial
"Peter Doig"
Venue: Fondazione Bevilacqua La Masa, Venice (2015)
Peter Doig's enigmatic paintings are characterized by their captivating combination of figurative depiction and dreamlike quality. Doig draws on personal memories from his childhood in Canada, as well as imagery sourced from photographs and films, to craft images that exist in fantastical, timeless spaces that feel both personal and universal. In Concrete Cabin (1994), one of Doig's many depictions of Le Corbusier's modernist apartment buildings, Doig depicts the pristine architectural monument against a dense, ominous forest, creating an uncanny tension that is integral to Doig's work.

Veronica Falls' 2nd album worth 'Waiting For'
Veronica Falls, "Waiting for Something to Happen" (Slumberland)
The second full-length album from indie pop's Veronica Falls is a tasteful guitar pop set, brighter in tone than their first. The London foursome takes a communal approach to singing their lovely melodies and there is nothing remotely discordant about the affair.
The lyrics glorify the moments in between and aligned with the music play like anthems for the indecisive on "Waiting for Something to Happen." These are songs about tiring of the people you hang out with, last conversations, the shortcomings of connectivity and the intersection of early adulthood.
It's not that Veronica Falls shun responsibility ("They say act your age") or compromise ("Driving late at night/I let you listen to the music you like"), they just don't want to settle down ("Bury me alive").
A few tracks take subtly winsome turns: the drizzle of classic British folk in the opener, the elliptical harmony on "Shooting Star" and the chorus on "Falling Out" blossoming into their catchiest moment to date.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Average U.S. rates on fixed mortgages fell closer this week to their historic lows, making homeownership more affordable and refinancing more attractive.
Mortgage buyer Freddie Mac says the average rate for the 30-year fixed loan dipped to 3.41 percent from 3.43 percent last week. That's not far from the 3.31 percent rate reached in November, which was the lowest on records dating back to 1971.
The average rate on the 15-year fixed mortgage slipped to 2.64 percent from 2.65 percent the previous week. That nearly matches the record low of 2.63 percent, also reached in November.
Low mortgage rates are helping drive a housing recovery that began last year. Homebuilders started work on more than 1 million homes at an annual rate last month, the most since June 2008.

Goffstown artisan gives new face to Wolfeboro tower
By LARISSA MULKERN
Special to the Union Leader
Philip D'Avanza of D'Avanza Clock Repair displays the 23 karat gold leaf pieces that will be used on the numerals on the newly refurbished clock tower at the historic Wolfeboro Town Hall. (LARISSA MULKERN)
WOLFEBORO -- The weathered and worn clock faces at the Brewster Memorial Hall clock tower are getting a $34,000 facelift.
The four, 8-foot diameter clock faces, believed to be original to the 1890 building, also called Wolfeboro Town Hall, will be replaced with four new ones in the project headed up by Philip D'Avanza of D'Avanza Clock Repair, LLC, of Goffstown under the direction of town Planning and Development Director Rob Houseman.
The west-facing clock face was removed last November and taken to D'Avanza's shop to make templates of the face, hands and numbers. Late last week, the remaining old clock faces were removed and replaced with new ones made from African mahogany. New hour and minute hands are made of rot-resistant redwood, and the numerals and hands themselves will be gilded in a new coat of 23-karat gold leaf.
D'Avanza said the goal is to complete renovations by Memorial Day weekend.
Under bright blue skies last Thursday, workers tied off and lowered the faces with the help of a new bucket lift that D'Avanza had rented, and a crane from Andy's Crane Service. Jim Doherty of Target New England Historical Renovations did the trim and woodwork around the clock faces. By mid-afternoon, the winds had picked up. Crews took extra care by securing the clock faces with straps and ropes as they were lowered to the street.
"It's a little windy, so we have to rope them off," said D'Avanza, who has been restoring clocks of all sizes since 1977. His company credits include restoration or replacement of clock faces on towers in Wakefield, Plaistow, Hillsborough, in Durham on Thompson Hall at the University of New Hampshire, in Exeter at Phillips Exeter Academy, Lebanon, Pembroke, Amherst, New London, Farmington, Mont Vernon, Conway and many other communities.
Public, private funding
Houseman said the town tapped into the Division of Historical Resources Conservation License Plate Grant Program (also known as the Moose Plate). The program pays for preservation projects for publicly owned historic buildings, bridges, cemeteries and other historically significant resources that are eligible for or listed to the state Register of Historic Places or the National Register of Historic Places. Brewster Memorial Hall is on the National Register of Historic Places.
The state's $10,000 grant was supplemented by a $24,000 donation by the Friends of the Wolfeboro Town Hall. Houseman said the town may apply for a similar grant to repair the aging arched doorways on the front and side of the building.
Repairs to the front and rear town hall parking lot will be funded through an approved warrant article for $100,000. The repair/reconstruction of the lot will be done in part to make the lots compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act.
Wear and tear
From a distance of 65 feet up, the old clock faces at the tower appear in adequate condition. Seen up close after being lowered to the ground, however, the wear and tear on the clocks is as evident as wrinkles on an aging person.
"Up close, these don't look so good," said Houseman as the faces were lowered. The back of one of the old faces had been signed over the decades when painted or gilded. Dates included 1920, 1925, 1932, 1948, and 1978.
On Friday, windy conditions delayed somewhat the portion of the renovation project where D'Avanza would apply the gold leaf over the numerals and the clock hands. But the painting of the woodwork and trim just below the clock faces proceeded on schedule.

Have you noticed how more marketers are using images in their social media marketing?
Would you like to know how your business can use the popular sharing site Instagram?
In this article, I will show you five ways to use Instagram to enhance your marketing.
Why Instagram?
In the last few years, the use of Instagram by companies has skyrocketed. With millions of users, Instagram has become the perfect opportunity for brands to get quick messages and photos to their target audiences.
When Instagram started out, it was simply a way to post pictures with your fans and did not have a lot of marketing value.
However, in the last few years Instagram has proven to be an effective platform for marketers to reach a new audience in a way the audience wants to be marketed to: with visuals and short messages.
When creating your marketing strategy, do not forget about this great—yet underutilized—platform.

NEW YORK (AP) — The New York City Marathon is still unsure how it will get its runners to the starting line Sunday, yet another obstacle in the aftermath of Superstorm Sandy.
A day after New York Road Runners President Mary Wittenberg said ferries would again take some entrants to the start on Staten Island, marathon organizers said they might not be used.
Wittenberg had said final transportation plans would be announced Friday morning. Those plans now may not come until Saturday.
After Sandy devastated the New York area, organizers initially decided to use only buses to get runners to the start. But Wittenberg said Thursday that the city wanted to use ferries.
The ferry resumed service Friday.
City and race officials have faced criticism for not canceling or postponing the marathon. But sponsor Asics calls holding the event "a true symbol of the city's strength and determination."

Roku has updated its guide in the U.S. so that customers can search for content across several of the leading over-the-top sources.
Most, if not all, of the guide companies have the capability to provide that kind of search, but the issue is whether their customers – all of the various service providers – want to implement it in the way Roku has. It isn't necessarily in the business plans of all service providers to highlight results from competing content providers.
Roku's new search facility allows its customers to search movies, TV shows, actors and directors across Netflix, Amazon Instant Video, Hulu Plus, Crackle, Vudu and HBO Go.
"Roku Search shows you where it's available on the Roku platform. Simply select a channel, and Roku Search will take you straight to your desired movie or show," according to Roku director of product marketing Tom Markworth on Roku's blog, where the company tends to make its major announcements.
The company will automatically push a software update to installed Roku players. Roku Search works with Roku 2, Roku LT, new Roku HD players and the Roku Streaming Stick. Roku box owners using the iOS or Android apps on their smartphones will be able to enter search strings on their second-screen devices.

This article was also published in the Financial Times.
In late 2001 Chandos Elletson, Chris Maillard and David Lancaster, the then editorial triumvirate behind Restaurant magazine, which they had just launched, sat down and began to think of how to conjure up a mechanism to boost sales.
"We thought it would be great to do a list of the world's best," Elletson explained to me shortly before the 2007 50 Best Restaurants were announced in London last Monday night, "but what we wanted to incorporate was a very diverse range of restaurants. We thought it would be fun for the list to include the best fish and chip shop or the most wonderful but basic crab shack on a beach alongside one of Alain Ducasse's restaurants and Le Gavroche. Our criteria were that they had to be places where you could have a good time and that the list should be very much tilted towards the consumer."
Six years later the announcement of the World's 50 Best Restaurants bears only a passing resemblance to what the original editors (who are no longer involved with the magazine) had in mind. The award has skilfully captured enormous media attention and has had an obviously beneficial effect on all those who have come in the top 50, not to mention those who have actually won. Heston Blumenthal, the still modest chef/proprietor of The Fat Duck in Bray, Berkshire, admitted that the publicity generated from the announcement that he had been voted the World's Best Restaurant in 2005 generated as much, if not more, publicity than the award of his third Michelin star.
There is no doubt that the award has been hugely positive not just for the chefs and restaurateurs involved but also for Restaurant magazine (www.restaurantmagazine.co.uk), which has a fortnightly circulation of only just over 20,000. Joe Warwick, its current editor, has not only chipped away at the monopoly once held by the invariably dreary trade weekly Caterer & Hotelkeeper but has also injected a much-needed sense of fun into writing about the British restaurant industry. Given the long hours involved in the restaurant business, that sense of humour is a particularly welcome ingredient.
There is no doubt, too, that all of those who are invited to enjoy the Awards ceremony are there to have a good time. This takes place in London's Science Museum, which seems an appropriate setting while so many chefs are currently using modern technology to explore the worlds of flavour, smell and taste, although it was somewhat incongruous to talk to Ferrán Adria, the chef/proprietor of El Bulli who has won the Best Restaurant accolade in 2002, 2006 and again in 2007, in front of a vast cabinet containing boxes of scientific relics of the 1950s such as Kudos soap flakes, a Sirram picnic set and a copy of The Living World of Science.
What also brings many chefs to London is the opportunity to eat at St John restaurant (ranked 34th but to many in a class of its own) after the awards, where they feasted on the first of the new season's gulls' eggs, asparagus, sea urchins, pigs' head pie and tripe with lentils. And then to reconvene there the following day for a lunch to honour Alice Waters from Chez Panisse in Berkeley, California, the recipient of the 2007 Lifetime Achievement award for her unremitting crusade for sustainable food. Camaraderie and good food aside, the lunch was remarkable for Adria's progress from table to table, rather like the father of the bride, saying how proud he was to have won again not for himself or El Bulli but for Spain, and the fact that Waters declared that in front of such an audience of her peers, she was speechless for the first time in her professional career.
But if there is a competitive edge to these awards it is short-lived. Had there been any bookmakers present at the Science Museum it is more than likely that the odds on either Adria or Blumenthal winning again would have been very short with all the others being rank outsiders, such is the reclame of these two chefs at the moment. (Thomas Keller, who was also there, is the only other chef to have won for his restaurant, The French Laundry in Yountville, California, in 2003 and 2004.)
And although these awards claim to be the 'World's Best', the database from which they are chosen is still very small. The magazine divides the restaurant world up into 22 geographical regions, most with 31 voters each (the Caribbean and Bahamas had only 15) with a chairperson and then a voting panel of chefs, restaurateurs and food critics, of which I was one in the UK and Ireland region. Each panel member can vote for five restaurants but only two within their own region, to which there is added the further sensible stipulation that each restaurant voted for had to have been visited by the voters within the past 18 months.
As a result, there were 651 voters with 3,255 votes cast overall. One release from the magazine admitted that despite all their efforts, the response from Asia had been disappointing and as a result no Asian restaurants appear in the top 50 - particularly surprising perhaps given the inclusion of London's Nobu and Hakkasan in the top 20 and the obvious popularity of Asian food generally. But as I mulled over these figures I began to appreciate quite how small this sample is.
El Bulli only seats a maximum of 50 customers a night, is only open for dinner and only for six months of the year, which means that it can serve a maximum of 9,100 customers during the voting period. These top restaurants are obviously not large; the Fat Duck seats only 44, a figure Blumenthal has confessed he would ideally like to reduce to 40 although it is open for lunch and dinner all year. It struck me that El Bulli's customers must have included a surely disproportionate number of Restaurant magazine voters over the past 18 months to have earned its top spot. Or the winning number of votes that have earned it the title of World's Best must have been quite small.
Warwick is aware that they need to address the issue of representing Asian restaurants better although he believes that in Japan in particular this may be a cultural issue, with restaurants listed for their particular speciality, such as sushi, eel or tempura rather than their overall excellence. And with France doing so well overall (there are nine restaurants from Paris in the top 50 as opposed to six from London), he would like to see a greater French presence at the awards and the lunch, in particular.
But there is no doubt that these awards have not only captured the headlines but also the backing of all the nominated chefs. After the dessert of custard doughnuts, Waters rose to speak again and reiterated quite how important, and yet how rare, it was for so many leading chefs to meet together to speak as one voice for slow food.

Nursing approved to offer doctor of nursing practice degree
GREENVILLE, N.C. (Feb. 8, 2013) — East Carolina University's College of Nursing received approval today to offer a doctor of nursing practice, or DNP, program beginning this fall.
The University of North Carolina's Board of Governors voted Feb. 8 to approve the new program. The degree is the highest level of clinical practice education for nurses. Doctor of nursing practice clinicians are experts in applying research findings to clinical practice and improving health care delivery systems.
The national move toward doctor of nursing practice programs is in response to a study by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Institute of Medicine calling for nurses to achieve higher education levels to meet changing health care needs.
ECU's program coursework will be 100 percent online, and clinical practice sites will include primary care clinics, hospitals, and public health care agencies. Students will be required to attend skills sessions at the College of Nursing several times a year.
"The emphasis on rural health along with the advanced technology used for teaching in an online and virtual clinic environment are unique features of our program," said Dr. Sylvia Brown, dean of the College of Nursing.
ECU prepares the most advanced practice nurses in North Carolina and is nationally recognized as a leader in online graduate nursing education. U.S. News & World Report ranked ECU's College of Nursing 10th out of 72 master's or doctorate of nursing practice programs in the country in a listing of the best online programs released in January.
The initial DNP student cohort is for master's prepared advanced practice nurses. The program will be available to registered nurses with bachelor's degrees in fall 2014. Prospective students may contact Dr. Bobby Lowery, director of DNP implementation, for application information at
Brown adds that the program supports the college's mission to serve as a leader in improving rural health care by preparing expert clinicians who will positively impact patient outcomes.
UNC-Chapel Hill, UNC-Greensboro and Winston-Salem State University also received approval for doctor of nursing practice programs. UNC-Charlotte and Western Carolina University received approval for a shared program. Currently, the only other doctor of nursing practice programs offered in the state are at Duke University and Gardner-Webb University, both private schools.

With the deadline upon us for states to decide whether to set up their own health insurance exchanges under the Affordable Care Act, I find myself thinking about Sofia.
Sofia first noticed the mass on her arm when it was the size of a walnut. Over the next four months, it didn't disappear, as she had expected; instead, it grew, pushing up at her skin until it was the size of a large grapefruit. But still she ignored it.
Sofia, whose name I have changed to protect her privacy, is uninsured, like 49 million of her fellow Americans, and she couldn't see the point of paying hundreds of dollars to see a doctor for a pesky bump. It didn't hurt, it didn't bleed and, when she wore long-sleeved shirts, you couldn't even see it. It was only when she could no longer climb two flights of stairs without losing her breath that she began to worry about what this could really be.
She arrived at San Francisco General Hospital's emergency room expecting to wait a few hours for someone to tell her the lump was nothing and send her home. Instead, she got devastating news: a chest X-ray revealed too many masses in her lungs to count, and a CT scan of her arm showed a mass eating through her muscle. It was not a question of whether Sofia had cancer but which type and how it should be treated.
