Jeffy and I are still setting up house because we can only make progress on weekends. People who accomplish things on weekday evenings after work must be superhuman.
Yesterday I scrubbed the kitchen from top to bottom while Jeffy assembled our fantastic bamboo kitchen cart. Yes, it is made of bamboo! It's quite heavy and substantial, a really nice piece of furniture - the top is half bamboo board and half granite slab.
It looks like we will have to go to London in early September. Some of you may remember that my mother has been suffering for over a year now with an undiagnosed degenerative nerve condition and has been undergoing a series of tests at Whittington Hospital. Her neurologist there had referred her to a leading research specialist in the field at University College Hospital's Institute of Neurology, which has the best neurologists in the country. She was finally diagnosed on Thursday with Motor Neurone Disease, which is progressive and incurable. The outlook could be a few months, or a few years, but unless she is lucky and hits a plateau (like Stephen Hawking), there's likely not that much time. There are 4 types, and after further testing, and just seeing how it progresses, they will know which type it is. Mum herself suspects ALS (Lou Gehrig's). Most of the family has been notified that if they want to see her they must go to London, and soon, just in case she loses the ability to speak.
Essentially, MND is the worst diagnosis possible. Multiple Sclerosis (MS) would have been infinitely preferable. Imagine saying about a parent: "I wish she had MS"...
You may think I sound matter-of-fact, and yes I am - but I have had my moments this week, especially at my desk at work, and I am sure they will continue. In the face of it all, Jeffy has been a godsend. I don't know anyone else who is so full of peace, positive energy, internal strength, and pure goodness. Without him I would probably have been in pieces.
In order to end this on a lighter note, I must share something lovely. One of my most faithful and longtime readers, Moody Minstrel, has composed a delightful acoustic ballad for J and me. Those of you who know of my odyssey will see that the lyrics are perfect. It's called Matching Smiles and was inspired by the photo of us on the tall ship in Old Town Alexandria. I am sure MM won't mind me sharing this with you all, since you are also in the faithful reader circle, and I thank you for that.
Thank you a thousand times, Minstrel-san!
Matching Smiles
What flow of karma, blessed winds of fate
From Heaven's gate
Led our paths to cross?
A scene no artist's brush or author's pen
Determined how and when we came together.
Like an angel dropping from the sky,
You came, and I
Didn't see you coming.
Now I almost fear that I'll
Open my eyes and see
It's all a fantasy.
Nobody pinch me!
A breath ago I fled a grayer place
And turned my face
Toward the setting sun.
I only hoped to sate my wanderlust,
Do what I must to find some warmth and color.
But instead I found a deeper truth
Of rhyme and rhythm
And a brighter promise.
Now the words are dancing
On your lips and on the page
While language sets the stage,
A whole, new age!
We look upon the world with matching smiles
And go in style
Where even words don't go.
We'll hear the music on the 18th Street,
A swinging beat to kiss the week goodbye now.
Turn the darkness to a brighter day,
A place to stay
That is a house, a home.
The candlesticks are red,
The smell of cookies fills the air.
Between us not a care,
As long as we share!

BMO Harris Bradley Center
Milwaukee's BMO Harris Bradley Center is one of the NBA's oldest arenas and quite possibly the one with the most cumbersome name — most people refer to it simply by its original name, Bradley Center.
The home of the Bucks as well as the Marquette University men's basketball team has shown its age for a while, but its time is almost up; a new arena has begun rising next door and is set to open in 2018. Though the Bradley Center is playing out the string, there are still a few good reasons to visit the old building as the Bucks, with a young team, look to play their way into NBA contention.
- The Approach
BMO Harris Bradley Center is located in the Westown area of central Milwaukee, not far from where the Milwaukee River cuts through downtown and near a lot of the district's attractions. The intersection of Interstates 43 and 794, two main arteries through the city, is just southwest of the arena. For more detailed driving directions, click here.
The arena has its own parking structure, just to the west along Sixth Street (Note: you can only enter the structure when traveling northbound on Sixth Street). You can purchase advance parking for Bucks games by clicking here. Other parking options exist in private lots and structures nearby — to see those, visit the Park Milwaukee website. The number of nearby spaces has been reduced somewhat by the beginning of construction for the new arena taking place just to the north.
There isn't much in the way of public transportation options, other than the city of Milwaukee's bus network. But if you're a visitor to Milwaukee and your primary purpose is to catch some basketball, you're likely staying in a downtown hotel, in which case all you need to do to get to the arena is take a brisk walk. Most name-brand hotels in the downtown area are just a few blocks south of the arena along Wisconsin Avenue and Michigan Street.
- The Build-Up
In a town like Milwaukee, home to good German grub, famous macrobreweries and microbreweries alike, and gatherings like the annual Summerfest music festival, it's not difficult to find something to do before a basketball game. Many of downtown's happening spots are within a reasonable walking distance, and the Historic Third Ward district (home of the Milwaukee Public Market, among other attractions) is nearby as well.
If you'd prefer to stay close to the arena, head one block east to Old World Third Street, one of the city's most happening spots in terms of nightlife. You'll find restaurants and bars for a stretch of several blocks, from Juneau Avenue to Wisconsin Avenue. For a guide to establishments on Old World Third Street, click here.
While that might be the liveliest street in downtown Milwaukee on a given night, there are plenty more options on the surrounding blocks if you're willing to wander (which you may or may not want to, depending on the time of year and the weather).
- The Ambiance
While the arena has held up well over the years, it lacks many of the modern bells and whistles you tend to see in newer buildings (which, of course, is a reason why a new facility is under construction next door). It has a typical seating configuration, with an upper and lower bowl and a suite/club level in the middle, and the upper sections can feel steep and somewhat high up compared to other arenas.
Still, Bucks and Marquette games often bring boisterous atmospheres, especially when the home teams are doing well. The Bucks do have a rich franchise history, with the likes of Lew Alcindor (aka Kareem Abdul-Jabaar), Oscar Robertson and Sidney Moncrief having suited up for them. The Bucks also have an NBA title (in 1971) and two conference championships to their name, which are proudly represented in banners that hang from the rafters.
If you didn't get a chance to sample the Milwaukee food scene before the game, you can get a good taste of it inside the arena. Usinger's, a well-known local establishment known for its bratwursts and Bavarian pretzels, operates a stand on the 200 level, while concession stands found throughout the building offer such Wisconsin standards as bratwursts, fried cheese curds and fried fish. You'll also be able to wash down your grub with Miller and Leinenkugel beers.

Chris Dixon: A New Breed Early Stage Investor
Chris Dixon is a New Yorker. Chris Dixon has a day job. He is working to build a middle range, ambitious company. Hunch is one of those post-algorithm search engines. They try to bring in the human element more front and center.
Chris Dixon was not trained as a techie. He did not learn programming at school. But he is very much a creature of the tech world, the startup world. He very much fits my definition of a techie. He belongs. He will rule.
I wish more prominent tech entrepreneurs blogged like Chris Dixon does. But his blog is less that of a tech entrepreneur, and more that of an early stage investor.
I think Chris Dixon's real calling is not that he is a tech entrepreneur, but that he is one of those who are really defining early stage investing. If you listen to Dixon, you will think VCs are dinosaurs. They don't "get" it. They are not hands on enough. They don't really get their hands dirty. Writing checks no longer does it. You really have to be involved.
And this blog post by Chris Dixon is a jewel. It really distills a lot of what he has said over time.
GigaOm: Chris Dixon To VCs: Act More Like Startups: "have fewer meetings" and "have everyone at the firm blog/tweet." ..... venture firms should act more like the startups they invest in, right down to his suggestion that they "have offices that look and cost like startup offices — or better yet, don't have offices at all [and] spend your time visiting companies." ..... VCs should not "talk/tweet/blog about your vineyard, yachting, golfing etc. while you tell your CEOs to work non-stop and be frugal." ..... "Stop kidding yourself that you add a lot of value beyond recruiting/intros/governance/financing/selling companies." ..... "Say no to companies. Saying "come back later" feels like a free option to you but actually hurts you and the startup in the long run."

ISX electronics adds performance and efficiency New Cummins 14-liter diesel will be offered in and fleet owner-operator ratings
The Cummins ISX Series brings the company's Interact System advanced electronic controls to its largest on-highway diesel engines. Similar to the 14-liter Signature 600, the new ISX also features dual overhead cams and an integrated engine brake system, as well as a variable output turbo that improves low-speed boost.
The first two ratings in the new series are the ISX 565 and ISX 600, which are aimed at the owner/operator market. Both models generate 1,850 lb.-ft. of peak torque, but can be spec'd with Smart Torque technology to limit torque in lower gears, allowing them to be used safely with lighter, lower-cost drivetrain components. Although not yet officially announced, 400- and 450-hp. versions more suitable for fleet applications are expected in the near future.
Cummins has already introduced the Interact System for its 5.9-liter, 8.3-liter, and 11-liter diesel engines. The system's advanced electronics can monitor and record operating data, provide diagnostic and prognostic information, and allow engine operating characteristics to be tailored to user requirements. It also provides J1708 and J1939 data links for connections to other onboard information systems and electronically controlled components.
The Tundra from Toyota gives the company its first full-size pickup to compete with the big pickups from Dodge, Ford, and GMC. The all-new 2000 model is being built for the U.S. market only at a new plant in Indiana. Equipped with an optional 4.7-liter V8, the Tundra has a payload capacity of over 2,000 lb. and towing capacity of 7,200 lb. It's being offered with a two-door regular cab and a four-door "Access" cab that can carry six people. The V8 comes with a 4-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission, while the standard 190-hp. V6 can be ordered with either the automatic or a 5-speed manual. The full-size Toyota has a 128-in. wheelbase and will be available with an 8-ft. bed.
To solve the problem of high or low voltage in LED lamps, Signal-Stat, a division of Federal-Mogul Corp., has introduced a voltage regulator in its DiodeLite LED signal lamps. The regulator manages the electrical loads delivered to the circuit board, allowing the lamp to illuminate at power levels as low as 3 VDC. Signal-Stat also debuted a turn signal switch that compensates for the multi-directional wheel movement that often accompanies righthand turns.
An engine preheater designed specifically for Class 3-7 vehicles powered by engines under 9L has been launched by Webasto Thermosystems. The TSL 17, which comes with a seven-day programmable timer, provides independent preheat that can eliminate cold starts and reduce operating, maintenance, and fuel costs
Freightliner 's American LaFrance has introduced the Metropolitan fire truck. Four cab models are offered, including two with raised roofs. With a floor-to-ceiling height of 57 in. (71 in. for raised-roof version), exterior width of 95.5 in., and inside width of 88 in., the cab seats as many as 10 crew members.
Today's more powerful engines may be helping put drivers behind the wheel. But they're putting added stress on drivetrain components as that power is conver ted to road speed. That's the word from Dana Spicer Driveshaft Div.
According to Bob Morgillo, warranty technical manager, there has been a growing trend on the part of fleets to spec high torque rise engines combined with direct-drive transmissions and low rear-axle ratio (less than 3.73) to increase efficiency.
These so-called fast axles require higher startup torque, which must pass through the driveshaft. Unless fleets beef up the spec on their driveshafts to handle the increased torque, Morgillo warns that they may experience premature driveline failure in the form of broken universal joints, brunneled universal joints, and decreased life of the driveline.
The first full-service dealers for the new line of Bering Class 3-8 trucks were introduced at the American Truck Dealers convention. Fifteen dealerships, from Ohio to Florida, will be adding Bering, according to president and CEO William R. Anderson Jr. This inaugural group is the first of a total of 60 eastern dealership slots.
Bolt-on longitudinal air tank designed specifically for Hendrickson's K-2 air-ride trailer slider increases overall brake performance and increases air reservoir capacity by 185 cu. In.
Power steering products from Plews/Edelmann, Stant are described in a 496-pg. catalog that includes information on hoses and repair kits plus more than 100 pages of illustrations.
Brake and wheel parts catalog has 220 new part numbers, bringing Euclid Industries' product line to over 5,000.
Maintenance manuals in Spanish are available from Meritor Automotive for its automatic slack adjusters (MM-4-SP) and Cam Master cam brakes (MM-4B-SP). To order, call 800-535-5560.
Neway Anchorlok has added two heavy-duty models to its line of trailer air-ride suspensions. Designed for low-profile trailers, the RLU-250 and RLU-250-FMT are rated at 25,000 lb.
With a two-pin bushing design, the RLU-250 is said to provide roll stability, as well as better tire life and vehicle tracking. It can be used for liftable axle applications.
The RLU-250-FMT is intended for double-drop trailers; cargo capacity and deck space are maximized when the unit is combined with the RLU-250.
Both suspensions use common air springs and shock absorbers; Neway's E-Z Align field axle realignment is standard.
In conjunction with Dana Spicer Trailer Products Div., Neway now also offers an integrated trailer air-ride suspension axle package.
Standard on the iPAC system are an RL-228 suspension, Anchorlok Gold Seal spring brakes, and a 71.5-in.-track Spicer axle that includes Spicer Silver foundation brakes and Spicer automatic slack adjusters. Options include a 77.5-in. track axle, Anchorlok's Life Seal spring brakes, and Carlisle MB21 foundation brakes.
The suspension and axle are attached via Neway's NEWeld axle connection. Since there's no weld on the axle tube inside the brake spiders, thinner wall axles and short camshafts can be used, which means less weight.
The iPAC is available in top-mount and underslung designs in 22,500- and 25,000-lb. ratings.
Chicago Rawhide has introduced a long-life version of its Scotseal wheel seal that is geared to withstand the tougher operating environment created by today's synthetic lubricants.
The Scotseal longlife is made from a hydrogenated nitrile material, which has higher temperature capabilities and is more compatible with the harsh additive packages found in synthetic lubes. Based on the one-piece, multi-lip design of the Scotseal, the new unit features an additional dirt lip. This four-lip design keeps out road grime even longer, providing extra defense against the environment
At a recent press conference at its Danville, Va., plant, Goodyear unveiled its new G397 LHS radial steer tire. Designed for linehaul service, the tire features a new casing supported by a "super tensile" steel belt package and a polyamide top belt, as well as a wear-resistant tread compound.
"From the ground up, we've applied a new philosophy of tire design to produce the G397 LHS," stated Mike Thomann, marketing director-commercial tires.
Thomann said the tire's monofilament polyamide top belt is a key to the tire's "toughness." In concert with the high-tensile steel belts, the top belt serves as a protective barrier against moisture, punctures, and tears. This reduces the need for "buzzout" repairs, thereby increasing the tire's retreadability.
In addition, the new axle-specific wear-resistant compound and a new tread pattern combine to enhance cornering and control. The tread surface of the new tire has lateral slots and sipes to improve traction as well as even tread wear. And the shoulder-rib design includes a pressure-distribution groove to reduce cupping wear.
The G397 LHS is built on Goodyear's premium fuel-efficient ECD casing. Other design features include a tear-resistant compound for the bead area and a new mold shape that equalizes contact pressure for more even wear. It's currently available in 295/75R22.5 and 11R22.5 sizes, and will come in 285/75R24.5 and 11R24.5 sizes later this spring.
Heading the list of refinements to Caterpillar's truck engine lineup is the introduction of the ADEM 2000 (Advanced Diesel Engine Management) electronic-control system. According to marketing manager David Semlow, ADEM 2000 will enable customers "to achieve better fuel economy and be able to manage driver and engine conditions better than ever before."
The key upgrade to the 15.8-liter 3406E (600-hp. with peak torque of 2,050 lb.-ft.) engine is the addition of ADEM 2000. Also available is a 575-hp. version that delivers 1,850 lb.-ft. of torque. Along with ADEM 2000, the 14-6-liter 3406E now features a wastegate turbocharger for all ratings.
The C-12 offers ratings from 335 to 430 hp. at governed speeds of 1,800 and 2,100 rpm and peak torques ranging from 1,350 to 1,650 lb.-ft.
The C-10 comes in ratings from 305 to 370 hp. at governed speeds of 1,800 and 2,100 rpm and with peak torques running from 1,050 to 1,350 lb.-ft.
The 3126B midrange diesel, in ratings from 175 to 330 hp., features a wastegate turbocharger.
Controlled-release coolant filter offered by Baldwin Filters contains coated pellets that, when exposed to heat and coolant flow, diffuse supplemental coolant additives (SCAs). The BW5200 filter is said to maintain proper chemical balance for one year or 150,000 miles.
Volvo Trucks North America is partnering with Ontario-based London Machinery to quickly deliver "work-ready" rear-discharge mixer trucks to fleets in Alabama, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, and Texas. The Mix Smart program is slated for national rollout by September.
The Spicer Heavy Axle and Brake Div. of Dana Corp. has expanded its Integral Arm steer axle family with a new model that is 2 in. wider and 5 lb. lighter than the Dana Spicer Integral Arm Model E-1200I.
The Wide Track Model E-1200W's kingpin spread of 71 in. provides an additional 5 deg. of wheel cut in the vehicle, for a maximum turn angle of up to 55 deg. Model E-1200W also includes a center drop beam for improved oil pan clearance.
Standard features of the Integral Arm steer axle family include a forged one-piece knuckle design for increased strength and component reliability. The standard beam stop is 3.5 in. Dana Spicer's LMS Hub System is available as an option. As part of the Roadranger System of products from Dana and Eaton Corp., they are backed by experienced and accessible drivetrain consultants.
The latest addition to Thermo King's Whisper Edition line increases deep-frozen capacity by about 20%, providing 30,000 Btu/hr. for temps as low as -20 degrees F.
Developed especially for longer, thinner-walled trailers, the Magnum unit features a compressor with 80% fewer moving parts than standard refrigeration compressors. The parts-reduction for the S391 is accomplished by using two precision-made helical rotors.
According to Thermo King, the Magnum Whisper Edition can pre-cool down to -20 degreees F twice as fast as traditional refrigeration systems, which means reefers can be back in operation more quickly.
Magnum Whisper Editions also feature Smart Set technology, which provides temperature balance for fresh cargo and reduced fuel consumption.
Kenworth Class 8 CityCab models can now be spec'd with Cummins ISM diesels. Engines range from the 310-hp. ISM-310E to the 370/410-hp. ISM-370ESP. The OEM has also released 10 new Easy Specs to accommodate Cummins power in the same CityCab configurations available with Cat C-10 and C-12 engines.
Conoco's Hydroclear Power-D motor oil has received formal approval for Mack Trucks Inc.'s latest lube spec, EO-M Plus, for heavy-duty diesel engines. The new spec tightens requirements for wear protection and soot handling beyond those required for API CH-4 classification.

Joke of the most astute observers of the community and factional scene of the antediluvian '60s, official John Frankenheimer built his untimely position on his sui generis ability to the hole between television and Hollywood drama, age-old and remodelled visual technologies, and the more personal Hollywood films of yesteryear and the cinema of faceless corporate modernity. Frankenheimer's expertise was on great air in his films of the early '60s, particularly The Manchurian Candidate
Born in Malba, NY, on February 19, 1930, Frankenheimer was raised in Queens as the son of a German Jewish stockbroker father and an Irish mother. From day one aspiring to be a professional tennis player, Frankenheimer developed an biased in a filmmaking career while serving in the Ventilate Binding's Sign Exact replica Squadron. During the course of his service he learned fundamental filmmaking techniques and made his television directorial debut with a neighbouring Los Angeles swagger that was sponsored about a bullocks ranch and featured, appropriately reasonably, live cows as its stars.
Following his military set free, Frankenheimer began working with actors of the two-legged persuasion as an assistant director with CBS TV in New York.
He embarked on a extremely productive and respected career as a TV skipper, directing over 125 TV plays, including numerous episodes of the acclaimed Playhouse 90 series. It was with the 1957 film version of bromide of these television plays, The Young Foreigner, that Frankenheimer made his appear as a feature glaze gaffer. Although the vapour earned critical acclaim, the captain create the experience of making it to be an unsatisfying one and subsequently returned to directing for television.
Frankenheimer returned to the grade in 1961 with The Brood Savages. A felony drama that featured Burt Lancaster as its lead, it was a reasonable critical success, and Frankenheimer unquestioned to give feature sheet another resume functioning d enter. He followed the video with the scurvy and white Warren Beatty/Eva Marie Saint melodrama All Fall Down in 1962 and that same year made what multifarious make allowance for to be one of his greatest masterpieces, Birdman of Alcatraz. A emotional dungeon drama starring Lancaster as its titular paladin, the photograph garnered a number of global honors, including four Oscar nominations. 1962 was truly one of the best years of Frankenheimer's rush, as in totalling to the triumph of Birdman, the vice-president made another of his most celebrated works, The Manchurian Aspirant.
, the sheet did not enjoy an exceedingly worked up treatment upon its inventive 1962 press; a taut, perfectly chilling psychological thriller that featured an supreme accomplishment from Angela Lansbury as the world's worst mother, The Manchurian Aspirant would make to wait until its 1987 re-let out to realize its deserved recognition as one of the Cold War's most enduring and damning cinematic mementos.
Frankenheimer struck turn tail from with two consecutive Lancaster vehicles, the partisan thriller Seven Days in May (1964) and the WWII influence adventure The Train (1965). Both films showcased Frankenheimer's enviable technological prowess -- made especially noticeable in the black-and-chaste photography of Seven Days in May -- and further established him as one of his work's most propitious sophomoric talents, particularly in the arena of the political/unconscious thriller.
Following Seconds, a 1966 ode to corporate paranoia and the collapse of sameness, and 1968's The Fixer, a true Thespian centering on anti-Semitism in Czarist Russia, Frankenheimer's career took a new and chiefly poor managing.
Accused on many a critic of sacrificing substance towards craze, the director relocated to Europe and endured a creative cynical portend that produced few, if any memorable films. He had something of a comeback with his to a certain extent well-received 1973 in Britain artistry of The Iceman Cometh and scored both decisive and commercial achievement with 1975's The French Tie-in II, joke of the few sequels to actually prove a notable successor to its indigenous source.
Unfortunately, with just a handful of exceptions, such as the 1977 thriller Baneful Sunday, Frankenheimer's career remained stuck in a creative rut during the 1980s and 1990s, arguably hitting its darkest nadir with the fiasco of 1996's The Atoll of Dr. Moreau. Frankenheimer rebounded more with a come back to television in 1997, turning senseless the critically praised biopic George Wallace. He enjoyed further critical sensation with the following year's Ronin, a political thriller starring Robert De Niro.Following a rare appearance onscreen in the disappointing thriller The General's Daughter (1999), Frankenheimer helmed Reindeer Games. A misdeed stagecraft starring Ben Affleck as an ex-con trying to reckon good, it was released to adulterated reviews in 2000.
Later on directing a rousing short film for BMW, the sheet recalled the breathtaking car chases of Ronin and left fans hungering benefit of more. Returning to tube against what would in the end become his final energy, Frankenheimer once again took on the government that had defined his ancient shoot with the Vietnam era drama Path to In combat. Nominated by reason of both best lead and supporting actor Emmys, the HBO aired film proved that the veteran commandant mollify had a both a dramatic touch and a mode with actors. Shortly after announcing plans to helm the fourth chapter in the Exorcist film series, Frankenheimer was admitted to a Los Angeles hospital to go through spinal surgery.
Even if he expected to regain in beforehand to begin shaping on the film, a stroke brought on by complications resulting from the surgery proved catastrophic, sadly marking the end of the track object of at one of Hollywood's most loved and fertile filmmakers.

(Ajahn Brahm, Western Australia) One Minute Newsreel: Katina on a beautiful spring day. Lovely to see so many people welcoming the monks at the end of their annual retreat in 2015.
(Bodhinyanarama Monastery, New Zealand/Philip Maskell) Kathina Robe Offering) Ceremony 2016. This annual festival arrives at the end of Vassa (Rains Retreat) as celebrated at the monastic complex in Wellington, New Zealand in the presence of the Ambassador of the Kingdom of Thailand.
This time of year, as Buddhist "Lent" (Vas) comes to a close, is marked with a very special ceremony: Katina.
The Buddha proclaimed it the most meritorious ceremony to participate in for lay followers.
It is the ceremonial offering of an extra durable robe to the entire monastic community that has been engaging in intensive practice for the preceding three months of the Rains Retreat, roughly corresponding to our hemispheric summer.
The Buddhist Temple of America (Wat Bhuridattavanaram) -- a large Thudong (Dhutanga) or Thai Forest Meditation tradition temple in Ontario, Riverside County, California -- celebrated writ large.
We traveled to the hinterlands of Los Angeles by the great mountain. The desert before us, the foothills to the north. A thousand gathered to mourn the recently deceased Thai King Bhumipol, all in black, and support the monastic community. On the same day in Pasadena, the Los Angeles Buddhist Vihara, celebrated Sri Lankan style with all night pirith (paritta) chanting, dressed all in white, and constructed the special hardy robe on site before offering it to the monks to select someone among their ranks for the honor of receiving it this year. Burmese temple on the eastern edge of L.A. County kept the tradition.
There are more celebrations to follow as every temple in the Theravada lineage holds events. This weekend in North Hollywood, the Sarathchandra Buddhist Meditation Center will mark the annual event with Sinhalese vegetarian island cuisine, clad in white taking the Eight Precepts, and seeing to it the monastic community maintains this unbroken custom.
It began at the time of the Buddha when two monks ventured to see him but got caught in the downpours of the rainy season in Ancient India. They carried on with thin robes and no heavy outer cloak to protect them. The Buddha advised them that it would have been a more appropriate course of action to remain in one abode to practice intensely and realize the goal, sparing many small creatures that flourish in the rain along the way. The Buddha called for the offering of a durable robe, and much has been made of it ever since. The question is, Why would this offering be any better than any other offering at any time of year?
The answer has something to do with the likelihood that monastics engaged in meditation have attained the supramundane paths-and-fruits (magga-phala). There is special significance to two offering, a meal give before attainment that enables that attainment and a meal right after attainment because it is now given not to an ordinary good person but to an extraordinary enlightened person who has changed lineage (gotrabhu). That is the way karma is whether we understand it or have yet to understand it.

The Cupcakes Are Coming!
Cupcake Royale , Bake It Pretty, & Cupcakes Take The Cake . I've made a couple great recipes that were on the Cupcakes Take The Cake blog. Have fun looking.
In case you haven't guessed where it's at yet, it's in downtown Stanwood. Down the street from the police station. I'll keep you updated on when they will open.
I'll be back soon. Another quilt & a thank you(that sneaky Secret Pal) to post.

Slideshow & a Quilting Rock Star
|This free slideshow made with Smilebox
Batting Drop
Wanda from Heartbeat Quilting brings batting to Innovations for us to buy. It's great because we save the cost of shipping. There was just one slight problem. We were parked several levels down from where the batting was. Leave it to Jenny & Pam to come up with a great solution.
They were parked on the first level of the parking garage & the batting was in the parking lot on the roof. Pam dropped 5 rolls of batting down to Jenny. She did a fine job being very careful to drop them on the side & not crush the tube inside the roll. They loaded theirs into the van & then came across the street to get mine down to me.
I parked under the Convention Center 3 stories down from where the batting started. It sure was easier than carrying the awkward roll down stairs across parking lots.
I'm sure you are asking yourself, Why didn't they just move their cars? Wanda went down to get batting certain times during the day & we would've had to find another place to park & pay more for parking!
Laundry & quilting are calling. Later! Sharon

Every Quilt Has A Story
Many of you know that when someone says the quilt top is made out of clothing scraps that some of us might be running straight for the bottle of Zanex. I waited patiently for the top to arrive & was pleasantly surprised! It was such beautiful piecing. All seams neatly pressed open, corners matched, no "mountains" in the middle of the quilt! It was my lucky day.
Virginia was a seamstress who made clothes for her daughters. They were living in Hawaii at the time she pieced this. Her husband was in Korea serving in the military. Her daughter, Katie, has pictures of herself in the dresses made from the fabrics that are in the quilt. While I was quilting this it was like a trip down memory lane. I saw fabrics like Kettle Cloth & Trigger mixed in with the bold florals.
Tomorrow is Virginia's 88th birthday. She's has had a lot of changes in her life this past year. A husband who is now living in an Alzheimer's facility & she in Assisted Living. Not easy as some of us know. So tomorrow I'll be thinking of Virginia & her memory quilt & hope that the quilt brings her the love & comfort she deserves on her special day.
I'm sorry the label is so bright. The camera & I are just not getting along these days.
It's off to Innovations for me this afternoon. I'm happy to get off of the roller coaster for a couple of days & have some "me" time. Don't worry I'll give a full report with pictures of the quilts when I get back. I have Hero Quilts on Saturday , so be patient. That "super woman" cape of mine is getting a little tattered.

It's Official, I'm Crazy
I promise I'll get more pictures later. The wedding is Oct 4th, so I won't be there. It's Little Mister's birthday celebration that weekend.
I'm going into Stanwood for a photo op this afternoon with all of the quilts Susan quilted during her Quiltathon for AHQ. I will be sharing them tomorrow in a new post.

Quiltathon Update
I'll post a final tally later in the week.
Sunday, September 5, 2010
Wedding & Baby
The fabric had a subtle western theme. You know how much I love leaves. Thought they were perfect in the large diamonds. Did a ribbon question mark with leaves & big "swirly girly" quilting to fill in these monster spaces. Actually "big" spaces provide excellent quilting opportunities! Here's the back of the star. Kim needed to make a baby quilt with a lady bug theme. Isn't this fabric cute? She got it at The Quiltmaker's Shoppe. I used that new design I told you about here. Head over to Green Fairy Quilts & check it out for yourself.

AHQ Quiltathon
All of the quilts go to wounded soldiers, mostly at the Wounded Warrior Unit at Ft Lewis. Some have been sent to Bagram in Afghanistan. Check here & here for moving testimonials about these lovely quilts. You might need a kleenex.
I"ll be back soon. 26 days & counting...........................Nana Sharon

My New Alarm Clock
About 3 weeks ago we lost our darling DC. As Mr S says "The rodents in the neighborhood are celebrating." It was just too quiet & sad not having her around so off to CASA we went. The reader board said 13 kittens. It was our lucky day. The "kitten room" was a blur of activity & color. We picked out our 2, filled out the 3 page adoption application & they were ours.
They look really innocent in this picture. Not always the case. As you can see in this picture. The bathroom door is always shut now. I got tired of cleaning dirty paw prints off of the sink & counter! This is an innocent picture. So sweet when they are sleeping. I look forward to their nap time. The best is sleeping on Mr S & his quilt in the recliner!

Unhappy Student or Dissatisfied Lawyer? Sorry to Ask, but Why are You Still Here?Friday, June 25th, 2010
There's an article over on the ABA Journal's website today called "How Law Schools Can Produce Happier Students and Satisfied Lawyers." We recommend reading through the comments section. It's a good glimpse at one of the biggest problems with the legal profession today — namely, that there are too many lawyers who don't belong here.
Far too many people go to law school who shouldn't. Plenty go into the law who shouldn't. Is it any wonder that they wind up unhappy and dissatisfied?
If you're going to law school by default, because you can't think of what else to do with your life, then please don't. Anybody who spends a hundred grand (or gets that much into debt) just to "find himself" has seriously bad judgment. And judgment is sort of a basic prerequisite to the practice of law. It's one of the most important things any legal employer is looking for. Please go away. Now.
If you're not doing well in law school, then get out. Seriously. Your first job is going to depend hugely on your grades. And your subsequent jobs will depend on that first job. And legal employers do care about your grades, even decades later, believe it or not. You're setting yourself up for a lifetime of minimal job satisfaction. Also, contrary to popular belief, law school actually is a good preparation for the practice of law. The kinds of questions you're flubbing on your exams require precisely the kind of issue-spotting and thoughtful analysis that you're going to have to do every time a new matter crosses your desk. You're actually going to have to continue learning and applying new areas of law constantly, throughout your career. If you haven't figured it out by the end of your 1L year, then save yourself the money and a lot of frustration and find something else to do with your life.
If you find law school too stressful, then get out. Law school is stressful for everyone, that's normal. But if you're finding (more…)

I designed this poster in Photoshop during my 10th grade World History class as a project on the Holocaust. The assignment was to create a poster that portrayed your feelings about the events of the Holocaust.
The Jewish star in the middle was created entirely from scratch. I chose it as my dominant image because of its easily recognizable appearance and its central dominance as marking the Jewish people during the Holocaust. The significance of the numbers 6 and 13 are 6m Jews killed and 13m total.
IMHO JayredS is right - the most dominant image of the Holocaust is the yellow Star of David.
I just finished writing the first draft of my new book, "Yellow Badge Album", which contains dozens of art works that "mention" Yellow Badges, and the above work is one of them. JayredS sent me a new version of this work with the following caption:
Remembrance. To never forget what happened to the generation of Jews who suffered at the hands of Nazi Germany is an important goal of today's generation of youth. In an effort to inspire others "to never forget", I designed this poster for a World History course in 2006. While I have no direct connection to the Holocaust, it is my utmost belief that every Jew around the world today is connected and should never forget that.

Now that Bean is in Pre-K and not just "drop off" daycare, if you are late, you have to stop and fill out a tardy slip explaining the tardiness. Bean got her first tardy slip last week when her Daddy dropped her off.
Today Bean received her second tardy slip through no fault of her own. When I was handed the slip, I decided to be completely honest as to why we were late. I wasn't able to take a picture of the actual slip because well duh, I was running late, but here is the actual reason I gave.
Student's Name: Bean
Date: 10-19-12
Time: 8:03 am
Reason for Tardy: Men are dumb. A man, clearly showing his lack of intellect, turned off my alarm instead of his. Not correcting his mistake and further proving my theory, he failed to reset said alarm so that his wife and child would wake up on time. As I said, men are dumb.
Sorry but I had to be honest. My Mamma told me to never lie to the Principal.

larch develpopment
6 comments:
Hello Mr. Pall
I use the same method for my larches in development. One day, when they will be ready, I would like to know, how to care them.
Watching your images, I can see, it is your stone ax larch, which is still in developement, but how do you care about your finished larches like nr.1 or nr.3? I cannot believe, that you apply your aggressive feeding on them. They looks healthy, but no new shoots ( would be unwanted in their stage) which is great.
- June 28, 2009 at 11:10 PM
- Walter Pall said...
yes it's the larch with the stneax. I ahve no finished trees therefore I apply the same methods to all of them.
If you have finished ones you can slow down with feeding.
BTW: my larches are styled to look good without foliage. Now the look terrible.
- June 28, 2009 at 11:21 PM
Walter ,
how short would you trim the new growth on larches ?
- June 29, 2009 at 4:32 PM
- Walter Pall said...
where I don't want the branch to get longer I trim back much, like leaving a stump of 1 cm or a bit more. Where I want the branch to grow longer, I take off less, of course.

Hello Walter,
I was on my mountains here in Romania and i'ved find a small larch,very beautiful for me...i like this species.For one week it was standing in shade,now it has 2-3 hours of sun in the morning and on two weeks it will have full sun.I try to acomodate the tree from 1500-1600 m to 60m.Do you think it is ok to feed with solid organic fertilizer with 6-6-12 strong?
Thank you and i apreciate your work very much.
Best Regards...Lucian.

- Walter Pall said...
Sure, no problem. Trees take all sorts of fertilizer. It is not important what exactly it is.

One convenience of eBay is that you can search by price, with or without shipping, to sort through the offerings of vendors who are selling the same product at various price points. By including shipping in your sort, you avoid the vendors who try to trick you into buying what seems like a low-priced item, but makes up for it (or more than makes up for it) with excessive shipping fees.
Or, at least, that's the way it should work. eBay's listing policies should ensure that there's no confusion:
When you create a listing, make sure all your text and other information are complete and consistent throughout. For example, you can't say one thing in the title and then describe it differently in the description....To push misleading shipping costs into the search feature not only necessarily involves hiding additional fees somewhere in your listing other than the area in which shipping costs are to be described, it undermines the integrity of the search feature - the abusive seller can rank above honest sellers who accurately list their shipping costs.
Not Allowed: Inconsistent details throughout your listing (titles, descriptions, product details, shipping, payment information, and so on)
I expect that regular users of eBay are well aware of this type of fraud. It's the less frequent user who is apt to get burned. Shipping cost manipulation has been going on long enough that last year somebody did a study of how hidden shipping charges affect sales. They did not do the experiment on the U.S. eBay site because the U.S. site is designed to "automatically reveal[] shipping charges in its search listings". But that, of course, presupposes an honest vendor.
Let's take a look at how this works. Here's a screen capture of a sale by a vendor named garrys_world_exchange_square (Yee Mei Tam):
Very clearly, shipping to the U.S. is listed as $3. Does that seem low? If so, you probably click on "See details" to see additional terms.
And right there, you find a shipping calculator. Enter your ZIP code and, sure enough, it confirms that shipping to your address is $3.
So you place your order and next thing you know, you're being told that you have to pay an additional shipping charge. "What?", you say, "I made this purchase based upon the flat shipping fee you described in your listing. I confirmed it with your calculator! What gives?" And a vendor like garrys_world_exchange_square will respond, "If you read the description for the product you'll see that I said there's an additional charge for shipping to the United States."
Note that as eBay listings are described, when you click that "See details" link for shipping - you know, to get to the place where any additional details related to shipping are supposed to be described - the description is no longer visible on the page. So unless you click back to the description and scroll way down "below the fold", you are not going to learn about the additional charge. The content is hidden from the "Shipping and payments" view of an eBay sales page.
Again, this seems to be a painfully obvious violation of eBay's rules for listings - you aren't allowed to have inconsistent details in your listing, including inconsistent details pertaining to shipping. But a very useful site called Toolhaus provides a more comprehensive look into a seller's conduct than you can get directly through eBay - particularly given the games and tricks that dishonest sellers use to get negative feedback removed from their profiles.
With this particular seller you learn that he has a long history of misleading consumers about his products (e.g., for movie sales, "Never told in description it is uncut. Already listed the total running time" and "I have never mentioned that it is the remastered version"), has many complaints about misleading shipping prices ("False Advertising - stated shipping 3.00 then wants 30.00 let money to pay ebay"; "If you buy from this seller, scroll all the way down for TRUE shipping charges"; "Ensure DVD region code works in your country +Read fine print on his shipping"), and on top of it all he's obnoxious ("Refused to pay and left me -ve feedback! Are you nuts?"; "I already return your money order, Why do you leave bad feedback? How absurd !!"). I like this one:
Feedback: Dvd did not contain complete movie. No reply to my emails. Got Taken !I had no idea that it became impossible to refund a purchase price if the buyer complains that you sent a poor product. You learn something every day.
Response: You're already left Negative for me, How can I refund payment for you ? Crazy !!
Seriously, hasn't eBay established a sufficient base of sellers that it can afford to enforce its rules and purge sellers who engage in sales tactics that are fraudulent or intentionally misleading, even to the point of diminishing the quality of its search and rendering its postage calculator useless?

I came across a recipe the other day for Graham cracker chocolate chip muffins and they looked and sounded delicious. I couldn't get hold of Graham crackers here in the UK, so I had to resort to digestive biscuits in this recipe adaptation. I have made them dairy-free, and am hoping that I haven't lost too much of the taste of the original recipe in the process.
2 cups of plain flour
1tbsp baking powder
1/2tsp salt
1/2 cup sugar
1 cup of digestive biscuit crumbs
1 cup sweetened soya milk
1/3 cup sunflower oil
1 large egg
2tsp vanilla extract
3/4 cup dairy free "milk" chocolate chips
1/4 cup flour
1/4 cup light brown soft sugar
1/4 cup golden granulated sugar
1/2 cup digestive biscuit crumbs
3/4tsp cinnamon
3tbsp soya margarine, melted
Mix flour, crumbs, baking powder, salt and sugar in a large bowl.
Mix oil, milk, egg and vanilla in a jug.
Add the wet to the dry mix and stir well to combine.
Finally add the chocolate chips and mix in.
In a smaller bowl, mix the topping ingredients together. The mix should be crumbly. I have changed the ingredient quantities from the original, as my version of the original was really gloopy. It must be due to the water content of the margarine.
I made 16 muffins in lined muffin tins with this quantity of mix, with each case 2/3 full of mix. I then added a teaspoon of the crumbly topping to each muffin and baked at 190c (fan) for around 15 minutes until they were cooked through. They smell amazing. They taste delicious, especially while still warm!

I'm headed out the door to work, but if I didn't post this now I wouldn't make the deadline. So here ya go! Super simple, but I love how it turned out!! And for the first time in a loooong time, I created an All Stampin' Up card! (sorry for the crappy photos, but it's raining and I have REALLY bad lighting this morning!)
I loved the colors Kristina chose for her Color Inspiration challenge this week - Chocolate Chip, Baja Breeze, Kiwi Kiss & Whisper White.
For my card, I went with a textured Chocolate Chip base, added a vertical strip of Kiwi Kiss DP (from the Walk In The Park line) matted on Whisper White offset to the left & popped up on dimensionals. A couple strips of folded Baja Breeze ribbon were tucked under the vertical layer. I stamped the frame and sentiment from Great Friend in Fresh Snow ink (PTI...ok, I lied, it wasn't ALL Stampin' Up!!) on textured Baja Breeze CS that had been cut out with my new Matchbox Bigz XL die. I used the same die to cut out a matching piece of chipboard and attached my stamped sentiment/frame to the chipboard for some added depth....and VOILA!

The request of developers to build a recreational vehicle park on 22 acres of Navarre Beach has been rejected by Santa Rosa County Commissioners.
Commission Chairman Lane Lynchard led opposition at Monday's board committee meeting, but he did direct county staffers to review legal protocol on amending such leases as the one held by Chris Ferrara, who sought permission for the park on his property.
How the board handles controversial lease amendments on beach land could affect another change request that's still in play: the effort by developers to build a 134-unit condominium on seven acres in Navarre Beach Marine Park. The developers who own the rights to that property, Ron Ward and Vic Deal, also represent Ferrara.
They didn't appear before the commission on Monday.
