Classes started yesterday. I was feeling very "blah," mostly because I was tired. My owl tendencies resurface when I don't have to go to campus for a long stretch, and I find myself staying up way too late, reading. So I'll have to stop now that I'm back on a schedule.
To combat the "blah," I wore a suit yesterday. That is something I have not done since my days in administration. It didn't do much to perk me up, but I think it got students' attention. The two classes I had seemed OK, hard to tell this early.
For the evening class, there was a typo on the schedule. It said "ED" instead of "ES," meaning that the class was in Earth Science, when I thought it was in Education (my building). So I was about 15 minutes late! Once I figured out the mistake, I thought Earth Science was only two buildings away, but when I arrived...it turned out to by Physics. Turns out that Earth Science is across campus. I didn't take my coat, so I had to use the tunnels to get there, something I usually avoid. Hopefully my blah + suit + lateness won't cause the students to drop!
We got a little snow today. This usually wouldn't be worth mentioning, but it has been a snowless winter. As always, it reminded me of Rudy. I imagined him dashing outside to roll in it. I have been thinking a melancholy thought: that the lack of snow this winter and last is because he isn't here to enjoy it.

James (James McAvoy) is a British undercover agent posing as a water engineer as part of a long term sting operation against terrorists. Bio-mathematician Danny (Alicia Vikander) is involved in a deep-sea diving project that is attempting to uncover the origin of life on earth. Thrown together by circumstance, a thrillingly wild and passionate affair springs up between them.
But just as randomly as they were thrown together they are ripped apart, and from the deserts of Somalia to the depths of the ocean, the lovers endure different forms of existential isolation.

Jeff Weiner, LinkedIn's CEO, has had nothing short of a successful career. After graduating from the Wharton School of Business, he went on to assume executive leadership roles at Warner Bros. and Yahoo and was appointed to the board of directors for Intuit before arriving at LinkedIn.
In 2011, Weiner and Reid Hoffman (co-founder of LinkedIn) were the overall winners of Ernst & Young's national Entrepreneur of the Year award, and in 2014, Weiner was recognized as among the top 10 CEOs of U.S. tech companies.
So what's his secret?
In a New York Times interview, Weiner shared his three best pieces of career advice.
1. "Know what you want to accomplish."
"You only have 15 seconds to answer this question: Looking back on your career 20, 30 years from now, what do you want to say you've accomplished?"
Whew! What a question. This is Weiner's response to those who ask him for career advice. As you can imagine, Weiner says that most people are unable to articulate their career goals. This leads to his first piece of advice.
"Know what it is you ultimately want to accomplish, optimizing for passions and skills, and not one without the other. Also, be open to allowing outside forces to help clarify, reinforce, and facilitate the path to making it happen."
I think that everyone has a general idea of what he or she wants to accomplish–but therein lies the problem. If our aspirations are too vague, then so will be the path to achieving them.
Homing in on your long-term vision provides the short-term incentive needed to put in the legwork. It also helps you narrow in on the abilities you need to develop, the knowledge you need to gain, and the areas you need to focus your time and energy on.
2. "Surround yourself with the best talent."
We are all shaped by our environments.Surround yourself with people who inspire you and challenge you. Also, be intentional about your associations and network. If not, it's easy to inadvertently expose ourselves to influences contrary to our plans. This doesn't just mean your manager.
"It's about everyone you're associated with, day in and day out. Surround yourself with only the best you can find," Weiner said.
I read a quote by Jim Rohn (American author, entrepreneur, and motivational speaker) that really put this into perspective: "You are the average of the five people you spend the most time with."
Make sure that you're surrounding yourself with positive influences who can support you in your career development.
3. "Always be learning."
"The world moves too quickly now to rest on the knowledge we gained earlier in our lives," says Weiner.
A fitting piece of advice after LinkedIn acquired Lynda.com, an online education provider.
As important as being able to pick up new concepts is, it's even more critical to adopt a growth mindset — a belief that intelligence and abilities can be cultivated over time. Those who welcome the idea that aptitude is not fixed or predetermined embrace feedback and seek out opportunities for development — they become lifelong learners.
It's hard to predict where our careers will take us. Building in these pieces of advice will ensure you position yourself to succeed regardless of which variables change.

I had always seen French Macaroons in high end Francophile shops here in Tokyo… and wondered about them. They looked so cute and delicate. But a little fancy for me. I had only ever seen the clunkier coconut variety back in the states. There is really no comparison. After reading the post about lily of the valley macaroons in Paris on May Day over at the excellent and famous Moveable Feast chef/food blog - though I could resist no longer.
It just so happened that around the corner from the restaurant I work at is a Peltier, a chocolate and dessert cafe and low and behold the other day I noticed that their new gorgeous window display was featuring Macaroons. Someday maybe I will get to go to the original Peltier in Paris
But for now I decided to buy a sample box of macaroons and see for my self (or rather – taste for myself) This was also a means of making me feel better about my lost fancy chocolate from my post at the end of last month. I had eaten two of my six pieces of fantastic chocolate- leaving the rest in the 2nd floor bar refrigerator- and they gotten eaten by other folks from my staff! Gasp!
So tonight, The Madeline Café vendor was by my house so I bought a cappuccino and I broke out my cute little box of macaroons to give them a try. I decided to start with the pale yellow one, which turned out to be, predictably, Citrus. It was delightful. Quite sweet, so even though it is small. Eating these one by one will be fine over the next few days, as long as there is no freshness issue. The cake/cookie outside was kind of like a tea-cake and inside there was a delicious sweet-sour citrus cream filling. Very nice.
I think I will try one of the two brown-ish ones next. I believe one is coffee flavored and one chocolate.
This is from a free foreign magazine in Japan "Metropolis"- on the re-opening of Peltier in my work neighborhood.
Peltier reopened this October with a snazzy yet oddly relaxing saffron, white and gold interior, and a new menu from Taste Director Philippe Conticine. Besides the assorted meringues, mousses and tarts, there are more than 20 varieties of bonbons, including the India, a blend of two chocolates with an Earl Gray aroma; the Rocher Coriande, with lemon and coriander; and the Sous Bois, with a strawberry and pistachio ganache. Two bonbons cost ¥500, four cost ¥1,000, and 12 cost ¥3,000. An Orria bag with chocolate-covered almond and orange peel goes for ¥900. Peltier, which also has a café, is tucked between the ASBEE shoe store and Kiddy Land on Omotesando. Peltier's main shop is in Paris.

- Anti-convulsive
- Appetite stimulant
A strong extract taste
High strength
How to Use
You can dilute this oil in any organic cold pressed oil. We recommend hemp or coconut oil for the skin. Warm a small amount of your desired carrier oil, and a small amount of Viridesco Oil and mix together before applying to skin. You may choose to rub this oil directly on your skin. Use sparingly. Rub a small amount of oil in the desired area as often as necessary.
The oil may leave a sticky residue on your skin. In order to remove the sticky residue from your skin, rub with coconut oil or butter, and wash with warm water.
Oral / Sub-Lingual
You may choose to ingest this product by putting the oil underneath your tongue for a few minutes. To aid in digestion, warm tea or lemon water is recommended. You can also dilute your oral dose with any sort of edible organic cold pressed oil.
Follow the rendering process in the Edibles/Cooking & Baking section.
Vaporizing / Smoking
There are many ways to smoke oils, you could put it on top of your herbal bowl or smear it on a rolling paper before or after rolling. To vaporize you could use any regular vaporizing device. Use rubbing alcohol to clean any mess or residue left on hard surfaces.
Use caution when vaporizing or smoking this oil as it is very potent, much more concentrated than its flower counterparts.
Edible / Cooking
If you choose to cook with this product, it is best to render it into a carrier, such as coconut oil, hemp seed oil, grapeseed oil, or organic butter. The rendering process should be performed at a low temperature (below 175 F) to not compromise the cannabinoids in the oil.
Determine what strength you want your portions to be and calculate your recipe to use accordingly.

Punk Rock - Punk rock (often referred to simply as punk) is an anti establishment rock music genre and movement
Again I am bit too young for this but I remember my brother playing the Sex Pistols and the Clash music later in the 80's. I remember thinking it was really cool as the lyrics were so rude and the age of 11 or 12 it was funny to hear it. When I think of punk, I think of mad colourful Mohican hairstyles, strange fashions from Vivienne Westwood and piercing yourself with safety pins. Well I haven't really done any of that but I do like to play with Zoe's hair when she is in the bath to make it all spiky.

Twitter recorded more than 6.6 million tweets about Wimbledon during the two-week tennis championships.
During last year's tournament the figure was just 2.5 million, according to analysis by Wimbledon partner IBM.
Facebook reported more than 20 million posts, comments and "likes" relating to the competition.
Mobile phone provider EE said there was a 39% increase in traffic on its 4G service during the men's final on 7 July.
On the same day, Google recorded more than two million searches for match winner Andy Murray.
During the same time period, more than 500,000 people chose to search for information about his girlfriend Kim Sears.
Over the course of the championships, the Facebook profile of Murray's rival Novak Djokovic attracted 3.1 million "likes". That was three times as many as Murray, who had 1.3m at the time of writing.

Its three weeks since the magazine was distributed to local households. I assumed people would read it and hoped that maybe it would help someone, if not now but at a later date.
So I've been pleasantly surprised by the positive response it has received.
The last lady to get in touch was someone who had known from the start of my diagnosis but had appeared to go out of her way to avoid me over the last year. She made a point of phoning to tell me how brave she thought I was for sharing my story and that she was sure it would help someone and that she was going to keep the article just incase ..........
I've only had one negative reply, a person telling me that my advice about TLC wouldn't have helped her ..... it wouldn't have helped me either, because as you all know the mammogram was my saviour.
I was just trying to cover basic awareness in the article.
Anyway I thought I'd share the article with you.........
Breast cancer
v Breast cancer is the most common cancer.
v One woman in eight will be diagnosed with Breast cancer in her life time.
v Around 50,000 women and 400 men are diagnosed each year with Breast cancer.
v The NHS automatically invite women aged 50-70 who are registered with a GP for breast cancer screening every three years.
v Around a third of breast cancers are diagnosed through screening.
So what? You're thinking this is just a load of statistics, why should I read this? It doesn't affect me.
A year ago I would have been thinking the same as you but in March 2013 I became part of those statistics.
Two days after my 50th Birthday I attended the mobile breast screening unit in a Holsworthy car park and had my first mammogram. It didn't take long and soon I was on the way home and to be honest I didn't give it another thought.
Nine days later I got a letter with an appointment to go to Exeter for further screening. This involved another mammogram and a biopsy. Five days later I had to return to Exeter for the biopsy results.
It was breast cancer.
The lump was small which is why I hadn't felt it and if it hadn't been for the screening I wouldn't have found it for maybe another couple of years.
Initially I was shocked, scared and angry.
I decided to start a blog and write about my breast cancer. Not only did I find this cathartic but it also helped people keep up with my treatment without feeling they had to phone or e-mail every few days to see how I was getting on! Perhaps rather naively I didn't realise at the start that it would be read worldwide in fact I just thought a few friends would look at it every now and then, however to date there have been over 8700 page views and I've been told that I've made some people laugh and been an inspiration to others.
It can be found at sarahsdancewithcancer.blogspot.com
Now enough about me!
If you are invited for a mammogram please go, it could save your life!
Are you breast aware?
Do you know what your breasts look and feel like normally?
Are you on the look out for any unusual changes?
It's a good idea to get into the habit and do it regularly, maybe in the bath or shower.
Me? I do it first thing in the morning on the way down to the loo!
I've pinched this from one of the breast cancer charities but it's as easy as TLC.
T ouch your breasts – can you feel anything unusual?
L ook for changes – Is there any change in shape or texture?
C heck anything unusual with your Doctor
Now there's no special way of checking yourself and each Doctor and Consultant who has examined me has their own way so don't be scared to have a good feel of yourself.
If you have any breast cancer or breast health concerns or you are a friend or relative of someone who has, who can you talk to?
Well there's your Doctor and then there are also breast cancer charities, two of which are listed below.
They also have a free helpline 0808 8006000
The best advice I was given and which I will pass onto you …. DON'T google anything about breast cancer ……. It will scare you to death unnecessarily! Talk to the healthcare professionals.

LOS ANGELES — Bobcat Goldthwait does not like doing standup comedy much anymore. He says it feels too much like boxing.
``It`s the hecklers,`` Goldthwait explained. ``I think people really expect homophobic, women-bashing, flag-waving, rhetoric-spewing comics.``
As an alternative, the veteran comedian has been making movies. Recently he wrapped up ``Shakes the Clown,`` an IRS Media production that Goldthwait describes as ``the finest alcoholic-clown movie ever made.`` Goldthwait wrote and directed ``Shakes`` and has the title role. Ann Luly, ``my better half,`` as Goldthwait calls her, produced it.

The preview last night made quite a number of excited for a variety of reasons – some of which I'll likely go into on True Bites tomorrow (if not this blog) but of the many many reasons to get excited about that preview is the gif above. It combines so many kinks of so many fan girls. Let us count:
1. The throne – it's always a hit.
2. The suit – Eric pretty much never wears one and so when he does, and to wear it so well? It's going to push the right buttons for people.
3. The expression – There's an intensity in that gaze that even though you know he's not looking at you and is (at least for now) contemplating his immortality in the face of waiting for the Authority to come it looks like he's staring right at the viewer.
Every season produces hundreds and hundreds of gifs, but each season there are always one or two that come to represent the season – either for the season as a whole, or just the season for the character. The same will be true of this season. However, I'm willing to lay down money that this gif will be one of the few that will remain popular next season and even down the line if the show goes off the air. It will define why people like Eric Northman in season 5 just as the one of him on the throne beckoning Sookie defines him in Season 1 or him kissing Sookie defines him for Season 4. And that is not a bad thing.

Shubenacadie Sam 'predict' early spring Ontario's Wiarton Willie and Nova louis vuitton shoes new york Scotia's Shubenacadie Sam were both greeted louis vuitton purses made in france by cheers as their forecasts were issued by their handlers on Thursday morning.
Folklore has it that if the groundhog sees its shadow louis vuitton purses price in india when it emerges from its burrow on Groundhog Day, there will be six more weeks of winter. If the louis vuitton bracelet malaysia groundhog doesn't see its shadow, then tradition says spring is on the way. Sam then scurried into a snowy yard, darted around the enclosure and hid behind a promotional banner for the annual event in what was his 29th prediction. "Soon we shall see the many colours of green," a town crier bellowed to the cheers of onlookers at the Shubenacadie Provincial Wildlife Park. "The good news that Sam did bring will mean we get an early spring!" Last year, Sam also predicted the early arrival of spring, though the wintry weather dragged on for months after. In Wiarton, Ont. where a festival leading up to Thursday's "official prediction" by the town's albino groundhog began on Jan. 27 a crowd gathered in front of an outdoor stage to hear Willie's prognosis. The town's mayor put her ear to one side of a small enclosure on stage where the famous rodent was shuffling around before declaring "it's an early spring!" "Wiarton Willie sees no shadow in sight.
He says early spring, will his prediction be right?" a town crier then called out. South of the border, however, an American groundhog issued a different forecast. The handlers of Pennsylvania's most famous groundhog, Punxsutawney Phil, said the furry rodent "predicted" six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow.

Welcome to Spring Semester 2013
Broken window
By gregebersole
Category: Travel
Two men check out the damage and large broken window at a business in my barrio, not too far from where I live. I watched the kids throwing rocks at it to break it, then spray painting slogans on the walls. I photographed them from the bridge where I was taking photos of the march. I thought about going down and photographing in the crowd up close, but wasn't sure if I'd be hassled, taking photos. I decided not to since I wasn't working for a newspaper, but just photographing for fun.
This evening, I was going to go to a movie with a friend. She wanted to see one at one theater and I wanted to see another at a different theater. To go to the theater of her choice, I would have had to walk a ways in the rain. To go to mine, I could ride the bus and not have to walk much. I read a few reviews of the movie she wanted to see and I didn't have any interest in seeing it. I think it was a violent, science fiction type movie. I wanted to see Desperate Secrets. I think that's the name in English. It's about a policewoman who is working in Bosnia and sees a lot of mistreatment of women by UN and military personnel. It's based on real facts. So we ended up not going. She's 23 and I'm a little older. I think we have different tastes in movies. I went to the mall alone to see mine, but there was a huge line (since it was a holiday) and I gave up on seeing it. I got a cup of Juan Valdez coffee instead and then left. Outside, there was a group of kids with signs, saying "free hugs." I got about 4 or 5 free hugs on the way to the bus station. That was nice. When I got to my barrio, I went to get an ice cream at my usual spot. I got into a discussion with the owners about the building with the broken glass, the kids that did it and, then, general talk about the problems in Colombia and what can be done about it. I wish I could have understood more. The man and his wife were quite knowledgeable and articulate about everything. They know me and had seen me on the bridge photographing. That's how we got into the conversation. All in all, another interesting day.

In our media lesson we were asked watch each others final films and to write comments and feedback.
The two questions we had to answer when we wrote about each others film was. How did it make you feel
and what were the good points about it. After we had all made notes about each others films,
we got our groups answers people had wrote about us and we decided to make a WORDLE. This a
good way to portray feedback and comments from our classmates. This was a very satisfying response
and made us feel confident as this was the look we had gone for. The only negative point we recieved
is that sometimes you couldn't fully see what has happening due to a very dark shot. We had done
this on purpose to make the audience curious and to add suspense to our thriller.
In the cinema our film was a lot better quality than our final edit. This helped a lot as the film was
clearer, flowed better and the dark bits weren't to dark to enjoy the film.

BrAnyan now takes a bath everything night before bed time. It's amazing how much it calms it down and help him fall asleep so much faster.
And how he loves his bath time. He splashes and squeals and just has so much fun. He has some toys that we play with too. Just recently he has started to pick up the toys on his own out of water. Before I would always hand them to him.

The player essentially "selects" which particular warframe to use in the upcoming missions by equipping it as shown. However, besides the initial warframe, all the other ones will have to be unlocked via either building them yourself or by paying means (using "Platinum").
Each of them warframes have their own unique special abilities and attack powers (four to be exact). These can be single target only, self-affecting or area of effect powers, trap or support abilities depending on the warframe.
mods installed.
To replenish your energy via regular means, you will either have to pick up the bluish energy orbs dropped within the map area or "pot". (By potting, I mean those consumable potions that you can make and bring with you into the missions.)
Building a Warframe
So how do we go about building a warframe?
Its actually quite simple. First, we'll need to acquire the warframe's blueprints. Why the "s", you ask? Well that's because there's four specific blueprints that you'll need to get (for each and every warframe that's available out there in the game).
- The "Actual" Blueprint
For most of the regular warframes, these can be easily bought from the market's "warframe blueprints" section (for in-game credits).
- The "Component" Blueprints
They can be acquired by repeatedly doing the "Assassination" missions found on each "Stage", as reward for completing special, limited time only "Alert" missions or from performing "key" missions in "The Void".
Each stage's assassination mission will drop the component blueprints for a different warframe. For instance, you can farm for the "Helmet", "Chassis" and "Systems" blueprints for the "Rhino" warframe by repeatedly killing "The Jackal" in Venus stage, on Fossa.
(But be warned...in order to complete the set, you might need to do it for quite a number of times as the drop, although guaranteed, is completely random.)
|* Be sure to especially pick up these pink or purplish orbs if you ever see them around in your missions. They are apparently blueprint orbs.
Just note that if a particular resource is needed in small amounts (like in single digits), then it is probably an uncommon or rare resource. For these type of resources, you will likely have a higher chance of acquiring them by killing "boss" type mobs, or staying long enough in "defense" or "survival" type missions (for the particular stages that do loot them).
Upon approaching the limit, the only way to build and play new warframes is by either selling your existing ones to free up warframe slots, or to buy additional slots using "platinum", the cash shop currency.
Note: Warframes bought using "Platinums" come with their own slots and do not count towards this slot limit.

Engineering Ingenuity Gets Boost in Accelerator Program for Startups
May 21, 2015
Engineering ingenuity figures prominently in this year's SLO HotHouse Summer Accelerator program. The intense 13-week program, offered through Cal Poly's Center for Innovation & Entrepreneurship (CIE), is aimed at helping new ventures succeed.
Of the 11 interdisciplinary companies accepted into the summer SLO HotHouse program, nine include engineering students. Three teams — App Scrolls, SENCE and U-Turner — were recent winners of the Innovation Quest (iQ) competition, a related CIE effort to promote student entrepreneurship.
SLO HotHouse provides seed money, hands-on mentorship, and dedicated office space during the summer at its new downtown location. The startups will also receive training through workshops and be given resources to develop skills and ideas. At the end of the program, they will have an opportunity to pitch their ideas to investors during Demo Day in September.
The chosen ventures represent a variety of industries such as mobile apps, software, intelligent alarms, healthcare, environmentally friendly products, and radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology. "Our accelerator teams reflect all the domains of expertise at Cal Poly," said Jonathan York, professor in the Orfalea College of Business and CIE co-founder and faculty director.
York helped found CIE in 2010 as a way to provide startup help to students with innovative business ideas. The SLO HotHouse Summer Accelerator Program remains one of the CIE's core programs, even as it has vastly expanded its academic yearly offerings to provide early-stage venture support, consultants and resources for student and recent graduate entrepreneurs.
Also pivotal to the interdisciplinary entrepreneurship effort is Tom Katona, who was appointed to a joint teaching position last fall to expand collaboration among the College of Engineering, the Orfalea College of Business and CIE. An engineer with extensive experience in technological innovation and startup ventures, Katona sees his role as "advancing innovation across disciplines, using principles of design thinking and product development to nurture successful entrepreneurial activity on campus and in the local community."
"We have a terrific group of students participating in this year's accelerator," said Chelsea Brown, manager of student innovation programs, who is overseeing the program. "These startups are offering exciting new solutions to pressing problems. During the program, we'll match them with mentors in their industries and provide them with strategic business guidance to get these ventures ready to launch."
The 2015 CIE SLO HotHouse Accelerator teams include:
- AppScrolls, conceived by Chad Kihm, an industrial engineering student, Ryan Ridley, history, and Marshall Zia, economics, aims to build the largest online community to connect, educate and entertain mobile gamers. App Scrolls won the $10,000 Rich and Jackie Boberg Innovation Award at the recent iQ competition.
- Chipper, developed by David Levi, electrical engineering, Jacob Stewart, mathematics, Dylan Brodsky, business administration, and Fred Wilby, computer science, is an intelligent alarm that makes sure individuals get out — and stay out — of bed.
- SENCE, the brainchild of Eric Adler and Garrett Hall, mechanical engineering, James Fazio, computer science and software engineering, and Jeffrey Hufford, electrical engineering — is a company that designs a non-invasive device that allows a homeowner or renter to access their water usage data in real-time via a Smartphone and web app, enabling them to increase consumption awareness, reduce usage and detect leaks. SENCE took third place at iQ.
- Clock'd, created by Katherine White and Eli Burch, business administration, Colton Stapper, computer science, Tyler Dahl, computer science and software engineering, and Cameron Oelsen, graphic communications — uses iBeacons to check hourly wage workers in and out of work.
- Mantis Composites makes carbon 3D-printed parts with unmatched performance. Ryan Dunn and David Zilar, aerospace engineering students, Michael Chapiro, materials engineering, Michael DeLay, electrical engineering, and Ning Jeng, bioresource and agricultural engineering, started it.
- Reach is a mobile personal relationship manager for business professionals developed by students Tyler Beaty and Jessica Estrada, business administration, Kurt Jiang and Clay Jacobs, computer science and software engineering, and Neal Nguyen, computer science and software engineering.
- MonsterCreate, a suite of mobile applications designed to engage the creativity of children, was created by Luke Bayard, agricultural business student, and Jacob Johannesen, Francis Pak Yuen, Andrew Adriance, and Elliot Fiske, all computer science and software engineering.
- Pinventory is a venture that uses RFID in retail settings to find items for the customers' and stores' benefit. It was developed by Azra Skeljo, electrical engineering, Kim Payne and Raleigh NeJame, business administration, Andrea Savage, computer science and software engineering, and Aaron Rostad, industrial & manufacturing engineering.
- U-Turner, developed by Stanley Laszczyk and Harvir Humpal, both biomedical engineering & general engineering, provides a paradigm-shifting product that will change healthcare by assisting nurses in turning patients, thereby improving patient comfort and reducing work-related injuries. U-Turner won the $5,000 Qualify of Life Plus Award at this spring's iQ competition.
- Reduce. Reuse. Grow. Alex Henige, a landscape architecture student, and Natalie Webber, business administration, designed the world's first plantable coffee cup to be used for reforestation.
- Brandplug is a website and agency to help advertisers buy promotion from online influencers. Sam Betesh, business administration, and Andrew Graunke, graphic communications alumnus created it.

First of all, though the resolution does reference the "threat" posed by Iraq, it also talks specifically about dealing with those who were involved with the 9/11 attacks. Iraq wasn't involved.
Secondly, the resolution calls for the U.S. to "enforce all relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions regarding Iraq." I don't know about you, but I have a problem with a multi-national coalition enforcing the will of a global, socialist organization. Under any other circumstances, we would call that world government.
Thirdly, Congress authorized the president to use the "Armed Forces of the United States as he determines to be necessary and appropriate." This isn't anything even remotely resembling a declaration of war. Either we are in a state of war, or we aren't. This resolution merely passes the buck to the president, allowing one man to determine whether or not we are at war. If this were any other country, that kind of power in the hands of one man would be called tyranny.
Why are so many people willing to destroy our constitutional republic in order to save it?

The Fray at the Koolhaus - Concert Review
Saw Denver, CO band The Fray in concert Saturday night at the Koolhaus in Toronto. Pretty good concert for generally a very strong album which has kinda exploded ever since Grey's Anatomy took the song "How to Save a Life" as their big promo push this summer (even though Scrubs used it first). The lead singer Isaac Slade does not have a smooth voice and yet somehow makes it work REALLY well with the songs, and which makes The Fray sound like it does. "Over My Head (Cable Car)" is one of my favorite songs of this year, and again, the entire album How to Save a Life has been on repeat for me since the spring, so it was nice to hear that the band actually sound like the recorded version live on stage. Their was a little diversion when they presented one of their (young) roadies (? PA's?) Steven with a cake and booze for his 21st birthday (which was sort of negated by the fact that he was in Ontario already where he could have started drinking 2 years ago) but it was amusing nonetheless.
The opening act The Feeling didn't suck, considering I usually expect opening acts to, though I've never heard of them and still can't find their website but basically a UK band that sounds 80's rock britpopish.
Here's some pics from the night:

Under the Boadwalk...
the site of the new 'boadwork' cycleway
Monday the 16th March sees the Planning & Rights of Way Panel consider an application for the City Council to create a million pound scheme to create a cycleway along the Itchen between Northam Bridge and Horseshoe bridge in St Denys.
I am pleased (and relieved) that the clear Officer recommendation is to approve the application- in fact, I expect it to sail through. For information, the report can be read under item 5 HERE.
The project is in fact quite unusual as although the City Council is in fact the client, the project is being managed by Sustrans which is a charity dedicated to sustainable transport and particularly cycling. I signed the Memorandum of Understanding with Sustrans on the 20th November last year on behalf of the council.
To enable the project, a grant of some £450k from the lottery fund is forthcoming as a result of the scheme winning part of the great £50million lottery giveaway. The level of interest locally was considerable and I was glad to be able to support the campaign.
For once, Network Rail were also very supportive corporately. They had to do a considerable amount of piling to stop their railway falling into the Itchen in 2007 and being aware of the project, carried out the works allowing space for the boardwork; in fact without that piling, the project wouldn't have been viable.
If all goes well, construction work should start in April with a completion date of October this year. Exciting times.

Drivers face slippery, snowy conditions on Sea to Sky Highway to Whistler
Those heading to Whistler this weekend should be wary of winter driving conditions on the Sea to Sky highway.https://twitter.com/MrPaulBae/status/817467463881277440
With snow falling on Highway 99, Drive BC is reporting slippery sections and compact snow in both directions from Horseshoe Bay to Whistler. Drivers travelling north of Squamish are advised to carry snow chains.
It's currently minus-8 C and snowing in Whistler, with more snow expected to fall Saturday and Sunday.
A few flakes have fallen in Vancouver this morning, but the city has so far been spared significant snowfall.
The North Shore, meanwhile, is being hit a little harder. Some areas of North Vancouver received another seven centimetres of snow overnight and it is still falling.
Environment Canada says Vancouver will warm up to 3 C this afternoon. The weather agency is calling for more snow on Saturday evening and Sunday.

My mommy bought me new bedsheets for my birthday, Starter Gray Jersey Sheets, and I finally got around to putting them on my bed. They are giant t-shirts and the material stretches around my body when I sleep making me feel like I'm in a cotton blanket. It is rather wonderful, actually, and works best when I'm rolled within them like a Vienna sausage after a night of tossing and turning.
Sleep is one of my more neglected biological functions, but I know that these sheets assist getting a good night's rest. The point is, of course, such material is nocturnal karma for making me feel all warm and fuzzy when I hit my pillow and close my eyes.

Surgery and drugs not enough to combat obesity
Press release issued: 10 April 2008
A review of research examining the effectiveness of different obesity treatments has concluded that no matter what other forms of therapy are offered, changes in lifestyle are imperative if patients want to maximise and maintain their weight loss.
The results, presented at the annual Society for Endocrinology BES meeting in Harrogate, show that lifestyle interventions provide benefits at all stages of obesity management and should be encouraged, no matter what other forms of therapy are offered.
Dr Rob Andrews from the University of Bristol carried out a review of the research on weight loss methods published in international peer reviewed journals. He examined how successful different lifestyle interventions (such as exercise, diet and behavioural therapies) are in the treatment of obesity when carried out alone or in combination with other treatments such as surgery to cause weight loss (bariatric surgery) and weight loss drugs.
Dr Rob Andrews said: "People often forget is that there is no quick fix to obesity. Overeating and decreased activity are the fundamental problems underlying the development of obesity. Any therapy aimed at helping obese patients must have a dietary and exercise component in order to be successful. This review shows that patients who are taking weight loss drugs or have bariatric surgery lose significantly more weight if they combine these treatments with regular exercise and a calorie-controlled diet. Maintaining a healthy, balanced lifestyle is the key to maximising and maintaining weight loss."
Andrews found that when weight loss drugs are given on their own, with no other changes in lifestyle, they produce an average weight loss of 5 kg, the same amount of weight you lose if you go on a calorie-controlled diet and take regular exercise. However, if weight loss drugs are offered in combination with behavioural therapies, their effectiveness can be increased by over 100% (from 5 kg to 12 kg average weight loss).
The story was the same with bariatric surgery. Patients who exercise and lose weight prior to surgery are less likely to have postoperative complications and lose more weight at a quicker rate after surgery than those who did not.
Overall, this review indicates that when treating obese patients, weight loss drugs and bariatric surgery are significantly more successful if they are offered in conjunction with improvements to diet and exercise.
Full results of the review are:
- Exercise alone produces an average weight loss of 1.8 kg. The more you exercise the more weight you lose.
- Diet alone produces an average weight loss of 5.0 kg. This effect peaks 6-12 months following the start of the diet and wanes after this point. No diet is better than any other in the long term but the greater the reduction in calories, the greater the initial weight loss.
- Behavioural therapies (e.g. cognitive therapy, psychotherapy, relaxation therapy, hypnotherapy) produce an average weight loss of 2.3 kg.
- Exercise plus diet result in an average weight loss of 10.7 kg and helps to maintain weight loss for a longer period.
- Exercise plus diet plus behavioural therapies result in the greatest average weight loss of 12-15 kg.
- Taking weight loss drugs with no changes in lifestyle result in an average weight loss of 5kg. Taking weight loss drugs, in combination with behavioural therapies, leads to an average weight loss of 12 kg.
- Patients that lose more than 10% of their body weight prior to bariatric surgery are 2.12 times more likely to achieve a 70% loss of excess body weight.

Casual Day.
Incase you didn't know (because trust me, it happens a lot to me especially when I travel and lose track of everything but work) today is FRIDAY! We have officially made it through our first full week of work and school of 2014. Now lets reward ourselves by some drinks over the weekend. Hahaha.
Since it's Friday and this is my day where I can run around the city (technically drive) and do all my errands, I dress comfortably. Today I decided to wear my green pants with my jean shirt and my booties. Simple, casual and comfortable. I know many will think what a crazy idea to wear high-heel booties while doing errands but I get so tired with flat shoes. I did ballet for over 10 years so I have a high arch and although its' lovely because I am comfortable in heels its not so lovely when wearing flat shoes. I see all these girls in flat shoes and I ask myself, "How can they wear flat shoes all day?" Also, I am short so wearing high-heels gives me a little extra inches. Fake it till you make it, right? Hahaha
Well I hope you have a wonderful weekend! I will definitely have some drinks this weekend. Cheers!

Another interesting Android device that I saw recently from Acer mainly it's an LTE-capable Android tablet.
File photo (image credit from NDTV)
I saw the Acer Iconia Talk S recently at the Festival Mall branch of Wellcom Telecom Supermarket. and it is currently has a VIP price of Php 10,490
The tablet has 7 inch IPS HD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor, LTE-capable, 1 GB RAM, 16 GB ROM, 5 MP rear camera, 2 MP front camera, Bluetooth, WiFi, Android 4.4 Kitkat and 3,780 mAh battery.
Based on various specs that I researched, it might be working on both Globe and Smart LTE but we have to check the official words from Acer Philippines and another thing, if this is one of their new official releases.

Call it a lesson in absurdity but I just can't help myself. There's just some things in life that no matter how bad they there in reality cannot shake the warm fuzziness
of childhood nostalgia. One such guilty pleasure? He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special.
A paradoxal plot device unto itself, He-Man and She-Ra Christmas Special follows two young Earth boys who are accidentally transported into the world of Eternia by Orko's magical mischief. Captured by the evil duo of Hordak and Skeletor, the boys soon find themselves trapped in the frozen tundra alongside their captor (Skeletor). Under Christmas special regulation #1225, it then falls to Skeletor to save the day and return the children to safety upon which he is "overtaken" by the spirit of the season. Following this the children get magical flying belts from a Santa clad He-Man. You heard that right, they gave nine year old kids flying belts. What's next, light saber wielding hamsters? Watch out kids, Snuggles is one with the Dark Side!

Our crazy life but we love it!
11:45 pm change 3 FULL diapers and feed 3 hungry babies
12:45 am lay down to bed
1:00 to 3:45 am check on Hannah since she is crying. all she needed was her mommy to walk around and rock her
3:45 am change diapers and feed
4:45 am lay down to bed
5:00 to 6:30 am check on Hannah; she is still fussy, she really likes mommy to walk her around
6:30 to 7:45 am finally got some sleep
7:45 am change diapers, feed babies
8:45 am Josh worked from home while Teri had tummy time, did dishes, showered and call 7 doctor offices
11:30 am change diapers, feed babies and change their clothes then get them in their car seats
12:30 pm leave for pediatrician apt
1:15 pm arrive at pediatrician
2:30 leave pediatrician office
3:00 pick up a quick bite to eat
3:30 Teri has a doctor's appointment (stomach problem; either stomach lining damage or gall bladder both caused from pregnancy) while Josh fed babies in the car
5:30 pm got babies home, changed diapers and put them to bed (can I go to bed? Nope, chores to be done!)
5:30 pm make bottles for the next 24 hours, laundry, trash night, dishes and tidy up
7:30 pm Samantha's bath time
7:45 pm change diapers and feed
8:45 Josh leaves to go visit Sandra while Teri finishes up with babies and chores
11:45 pm Josh gets home and we start all over again
So, as you can see we are constantly on the go and very busy. We take turns visiting Sandra. The girls did great at their doctors visit. Hannah got two immunizations. One was oral and the nurse said that she was the first to actually like it and ask for more. However, she didn't like her shot. Josh and I have been worried about Makaila's voice. It is very raspy, deep and sometimes soundless. Since she was on the ventilator the longest she has a greater chance of vocal cord damage. The doctor has referred her to an Ear, Nose and Throat doctor to be evaluated. We are to bring in the girls every two weeks for weight checks. Their current weights are: Makaila - 6 lbs 12 ozs, Hannah - 6 lbs 12 ozs (can you say identical?) Samantha 7 lbs 4 ozs and Sandra - 4 lbs 8 ozs. Hannah is again VERY congested and constantly needs to be bulb syringed. I actually think it is worse then before. The doctor seems to think it is from reflux. With that and a sore bottom from a diaper rash I can understand why she is fussy. She is fussy right now so I have to go check on her.

Um, yikes! Pregnant people should not read this post. I guess we divide by four, and are good. Let us know what is going on with Teri's tummy. Teri, with tummy issues-Nah...
Good luck with the three girls and a crazy schedule. We all hope Sandra can come home soon.
Roman LOVES watching the girls on the video!
- December 29, 2008 at 8:32 PM
I am so happy to hear all the fantastic weight gains! Makaila has always been so quiet didnt think there might be something wrong withe her vocal cords. When does she see the ENT? Teri promise you will let someone help you with chores. You wont be able to keep that pace up for long. And imagine the caos when Peanut comes home! Whick hopefully will be soon. Man I miss them, holding them and smelling them, (inbetween diaper changes of course!) Does Hannah sleep at all during the day? That snuggly Josh bought you may come in handy for her, she would love to tag along with you while you did chores with her strapped to your chest.
Anyway, miss you all, take care of eachother. Love Auntie Debbie

Well, it has been a few days, and we are wondering how you all survived the New Year. I am not quite sure if Sandra is home, but hope you guys are adjusting well with the 3 lil' ones at home.
We missed you and the fam during the New Year's festivities, and wish we could be closer to help out.
Love you all!

The importance of native bees to your garden
Attract native bees to your garden, or even keep a hive. You will reap the benefits:
- increasing the pollination of your own and local flowering plants
- improving the productivity of your garden
- helping preserve native species and ecologies
- enjoying delicious honey from your own backyard.
Australian native bees: fast facts
Many people are surprised to learn that Australia has about 2000 species of native bees that live in all the ecologies all over country. They are smaller and less conspicuous, however, than the introduced European honey bees. They are black in colour and you can easily mistake them for a fly or fruit fly.
Only 10 species of native bee Australia-wide are social like the honey bee and live in colonies with a queen. The social native bees are about 3 to 4 mm long, stingless, and make a home for their colonies in places like hollowed out trees. The rest of the species are solitary and don't store honey, but still play a vital role in pollination.
For garden beekeepers in south-east Queensland, the two stand-out species of social native stingless bees are Austroplebeia and Trigona.
Garden productivity from native bees
You can increase the pollination and growth of flowering plants in your garden by attracting bees or adding a colony of native bees to it.
Attracting native bees: plant native trees
Some top flowering native trees to attract native bees include: eucalypts, corymbias, tea trees, pincushion hakeas, grevilleas, bottlebrushes, native palms, acacias, angophoras, callistemons and banksias.
If you have a flower garden of exotics, all species of daisy and lavendar are great for attracting native bees.
Keeping native bees: fun and easy
Beekeeping native bees is easier than you think.
If you are a keen backyard beekeeper or would like to become one, check out resources like the Australian Native Bee Research Centre, Aussie Bee, or Sugarbag Bees.
Clients of AllRound Tree Services might especially note the native bee workshop coming up on 9 March 2018 at the Caboolture Region Environmental Education Centre in Burpengary.
Preserving native bees and ecologies
Increasing our understanding of native bees and their numbers is also important for ecological reasons. Native bees are under threat from urbanisation, pesticides and competition from introduced species.
Plus, the introduced species face the threat of the overseas parasite, the Varroa Mite, spreading into Australia. All the more reason to cultivate our knowledge of, and numbers of, the native bees of Australia.
The honey of the native bee is known as honeybag. It has a bush flavour considered superior to that of the European bee's honey. A healthy native hive will produce a kilo or two of honey per year. Enjoy!

Weekend at laura b.'s
Friday was my day off and payday, so it was also a day to pay bills, do some grocery shopping and make other random purchases that seemed necessary. I felt like I spent all afternoon just running around on these little errands. The day did have a nice ending though. Girlie Girl and I went to the movies with Kick Back Dude and Princess Diva. WTG's mom had asked to have their girls over, so they were excited to have a free evening. We ended up seeing Step Brothers. I knew what to expect with this and wasn't looking for high art. I thought it was very funny, with many actual laugh out loud moments. Just what I needed :-) After the movie, I took Girlie Girl to a friend's house and the rest of us went for Chinese food. I am still eating leftovers.
Saturday I worked. It was kind of quiet in the morning, but very busy in the afternoon. We had a performer come and he had a bunch of animals for the kids to handle. It was a great adventure, although a bit chaotic, as this guy hands things over to the children and lets them be the ones to take the creatures around for everyone else to touch. The cutest thing was his wallaby, Matilda, who had free fun of the room. She was so friendly and sweet.
While I was working the rest of my family was attending a memorial service for WTG's dad, who died, what...about a month ago? I heard later that there was a big fuss between WTG and his two brothers, but that otherwise everything went fine.
WTG and one his brothers ended up going out drinking later, so Handsome Lad came to spend the night with me. WTG has been a recovering alcoholic for about six years now, but lately I have been hearing of these bar outings with friends. I wouldn't worry, it is his business, except for the fact that Handsome Lad lives with him. When he is drinking, he is, well, you know...a drunk. I guess if I hear that things are getting bad I will step in, but otherwise will try not to assume the worst. I am uneasy though.
This brings us to Sunday, which was another of those running around days. In the morning a bunch of us went out for an early lunch to celebrate my sister's birthday. That was fun, but after that I felt like all I did was drive Handsome Lad here and there, or worse, sit in the passenger seat while Girlie Girl drove herself here and there. Later that evening there was yet another meal out. I hadn't had much chance to sit down with Secret Agent Man and Social Animal for awhile, so I took them out for a little dinner. Handsome Lad was there too. They seem to be getting themselves together and doing what they should be. Handsome Lad decided to go home with them and Girlie Girl was off spending the night with a friend, so I anticipated a nice quiet night. However, around 10:30, Handsome Lad called to tell me that he was alone (although actually Secret Agent Man was there, but shut up in his room), he wasn't sure where his dad was, he wasn't answering his phone, and could he come stay with me. Of course I went and got him. He was at my place for about an hour or so before WTG called him to say he'd "be home soon" that he was "out with an old friend". Handsome Lad told him he was at my place and I guess that's all that was said.
Anyway, this was a long post about not too much. Just my weekend, which as I said, has somehow left me more tired than before. I hope that WTG is not actually sliding down a slippery slope here, but it certainly sounds as though he is, and I certainly am not looking forward to dealing with the fall out.

I will not comment on the Friday movie....
Wallabies are really cool little animals. That would be fun, as a kid, (or a big kid) to play with one. I know Renee would fall in love with it...
Sounds like you ran yourself ragged, tore yourself asunder, and down right pooped yourself out. I hate when Monday comes and I am not refreshed.
- Tara said...
Happy Birthday to your sister!
So this wallaby Matilda..was she waltzing around the room?
Maybe...and I've got some high hopes...maybe WTG stayed on the wagon and was just hanging out with his friends at the bar for...social support? Eh..Not likely, but ya never know. I hope things resolve soon with that.
- laura b. said...
Evil-E: haha! You and the Aliens dislike for my buddy Will Ferrell is understood.
You get special bonus points for use of the word "pooped" in your comment. Excellent job!
Tara: That song kept going through my head all afternoon!
I am trying to place things in that sort of light too, but am having a bit of trouble with it...I suppose it will all become clear at some point. sigh.
- Mrs. Hairy Woman said...
Will Ferrell..Not a big fan.. Anyways I hope you don't have to deal with the fall out.. you shouldn't have to.. but because of the kids , its hard not worry...
- MrManuel said...
Movie looks fairly interesting...I'll reent it.
Alcoholism is scary. I hope it is not getting worse.
- laura b. said...
Mrs.: Ah, you are with the EvilAlien brothers on this one!
Yes, I wouldn't care what he does except for how it affects the kids...
MrManuel: When you need a laugh, definitely rent it.
Yes, alcoholism is very scary. I don't think anyone in the family is up for going through all that again.

i wanted to take a few minutes and reflect on the last 4 years here in houston. we moved down here in the beginning of november 2006. my parents helped us get here. my dad and geofffrey brought down the penske truck towing the scion. a day after they arrived here my mom flew down with the kids and i. we moved into a small apartment, said good bye to my parents and so began our journey here.
being at the downtown aquarium yesterday on a field trip with layla i was recalling our first thanksgiving here. we ended up going to the downtown aquarium on thanksgiving day for their delicious buffet! geoffrey's family was moving down shortly after that so, we really didn't have family to celebrate with. we decided on the thanksgiving buffet. other than waiting a bit for our table it was memorable experience. seamus was just 6 month's old and lay was 2.
so many things have happened here in the last 4 years. it has been quite a journey. i am SO thankful that through it all god has been faithful and has always taken care of us! i am also SO thankful for the relationship that geoffrey and i have. it has only gotten stronger the last 4 years and keeps getting better.
we have done many fun things while we have been here and our bucket list is still long. who knows what can happen.
i would have never dreamed that one of the things we would be getting into was farming. i thought for sure moving to the suburbs was really going to get me away from the country where there would be no farming! i didn't marry farmer. now my husband has a dream, that is in motion, to start farming. i should have got it in writing that he wasn't going to be a farmer! i tease him about this now.
but, that's life. you live. you dream. you change. i wouldn't have it another way! you might need to remind this of me on crazy days when i have to go back to the land to take care of the chickens, again. you know on one of those days when both kids need dropped off and picked up from school and geoffrey is working and can't get there. yeah, one of those days! life is far from boring here!
we are so proud of our kids and love and adore them. they both are doing so well in school. they are good with other kids (except when seamus hurts his buddy paydon now and then). they love to learn and curious. they love the outdoors and even though they don't understand exactly what is going to happen at the 'farm'…that's what they call the land…i love them!…they are so excited about it! we'll see how excited they are once they get put to work, mister!
so, as we are now working our way through year 5 in this great, beautiful, gorgeous state of texas we are excited to see what else is in store! bring it on…
thanking god that we have open eyes, open hearts, open minds. that we explore new things. learn about new things. love and care for each. provide for each other and work as a team. that we take risks. that we follow the one who in all, above all, and king of all! life is so great when you follow him, desire him, trust him. and when you trust those you love. if i wasn't a trusting, devoted partner in this life along side geoffrey, i don't know where we would be today. i often remember that i moved here not ever visiting! we couldn't afford for me to come when he came down for some job interviews.
boy did i ever marry the right man! (: thank you geoffrey for everything. i love, admire, respect and adore you more than i could ever tell you! now, let's go buy some chickens and get an egg co-op going!

Identification of embryo implantation-related proteins Mitra Arianmanesh Embryo implantation is a complex process involving an active dialogue between the endometrium and embryo. Tightly controlled communication between the hypothalamus, pituitary, corpus luteum (CL), endometrium and embryo is essential for implantation. Unravelling molecules involved in embryo implantation is essential since implantation failure is one of the main causes of female infertility. Therefore, identification of molecular events during embryo implantation may result in enhancing implantation rates in both natural and assisted reproductive cycles, improving contraceptive design and reducing the rate of multiple pregnancies following embryo transfer in IVF cycles. Thus, in this study, sheep was used as an animal model in order to study endometrial, corpus luteal and plasma proteome changes during embryo implantation and early pregnancy. Endometrium, CLs and plasma were harvested from cyclic ewes on days 12 and 16 of the oestrous cycle (n=4 ewes/group) and from pregnant ewes on days 12, 16 and 20 of pregnancy (n=4 ewes/group). Furthermore, ovine endometrium were collected from pregnant and non-pregnant horns on days 16 (n=4) and 20 (n=4) of pregnancy to compare endometrial protein profiles of the gravid horn (in the presence of the conceptus) with the non-gravid horn (in the absence of the conceptus) in response to the conceptus to elucidate local embryo-endometrial signalling. 2DE gel, LC-MS/MS, Western blot, IHC and qRT-PCR were employed to quantify implantation processes. This study has identified proteins in the CL and endometrium with involvement in biological pathways that are fundamental for embryo implantation and gestation. In addition, it was found that the implanting embryo is capable of regulating the expression of endometrial proteins to establish an ideal environment for its implantation and establishment of pregnancy. These findings provide an addition to the field and a solid base for targeted studies to improve our understanding of implantation and its regulation.

This expecting mom-to-be is getting a brand new look.
Blac Chyna, who is expecting her second child, and first child with fiancé Rob Kardashian, just revealed that she has a brand new tongue piercing.
The 28-year-old star, who is currently filming her upcoming reality show with Rob, showed off the new jewelry on Snapchat.

This section is from the "Handicrafts For The Handicapped" book, by Herbert J. Hall and Mertice M. C. Buck. Also available from Amazon: Handicrafts For The Handicapped.
Not only birds, but their natural enemies, cats and dogs, may be provided with homemade resting places. A friend of the author's acquaintance has a tortoise-shell cat which rejoices in a hand-made basket of brown and buff, with a touch of turquoise blue, which looks particularly charming with his tawny coloring. Finding this basket by the fireside, he proceeded to investigate with eyes, nose and claws, and the result being satisfactory, he at once took possession and has used it over two years.
The first requisites of baskets to hold potted plants should be strength and simplicity; coarse materials, No. 5 for spokes and Nos. 3 and 4 for weaving, should be used. A wooden bottom may be used and this adds to the strength of the basket. Basswood of 3/8 inch thickness makes a good base. The size of the bottom having been decided on (9 or 10 inches would be suitable for a fern, or a small palm), a circle should be drawn on the wood with a compass, and the circular piece sawed out with a keyhole saw. The edges should be filed smooth and sandpapered. Inside this circle from the same center another circle should be drawn 1/2 inch inside this one, as a guide line along which points can be drawn for holes to be bored. These holes should be not more than 3/4 inch apart to insure firm weaving. The holes should be bored on the points thus indicated with a bit 1-6 inch in diameter. If it proves difficult to mark the points with a rule, the compass set to 3/4 inch may be used to "step off" the required points on the guide line. To cut the spokes for a wooden bottomed basket it is necessary to first decide on the height desired, then double this and add one inch for the space between the holes, as each spoke goes from the top of the basket down through a hole, across the bottom of the wood to the next hole and then up. There should, of course, be half as many spokes as there are holes. These long strips should be cut and rolled and soaked in hot water until pliable. The weavers must also be soft. The weaving may be done with double or triple weave, and a row of open work adds to the effect, as the dull red of the pottery showing through adds a nice note of color. The border should be flat, rather than coiled One of the photographs shows an open weave ornamented by adding spokes to form a cross in each open space. The borders illustrated are all made strong by inserting extra spokes.
Baskets For Holding Cut Flowers
Jardinieres And A Cut Flower Holder
Baskets to be used as jardinieres may be stiffened by staining with oil paints mixed with much turpentine to prevent shininess. A very good color combination is that of burnt sienna and Prussian blue mixed so as to give a cloudy effect of greenish brown. This coloring harmonizes with potted ferns as well as flowering plants. The baskets are made less liable to warp by protecting the surface with the oil paint, and as plant baskets are often used on a veranda, this seems worth consideration. If it is desired to conceal the edge of the wooden bottom, this may be done by tacking a braid on, over the edge of the wood, or by putting in extra spokes, short ones, from the back of the basket upward, leaving ends about two inches long, on which a few rows of weaving and a border may be put as shown in the photographic illustrations.
Jardinieres of all reed are rather difficult, on account of the great length of the spokes required, but this difficulty may be obviated by weaving the bottom first, on eight spokes 10 inches long, exactly like the bottom of a small basket. When the weaving has proceeded nearly to the end of the spokes, a strip 14 inches long may be inserted beside each spoke, the basket turned up omitting these ends, which may be cut off or used to form a woven base similar to that already mentioned.
When cut flowers have to be transported from place to place it is desirable to have them protected from light and dust. Two simple baskets are illustrated which may be used for this purpose; one represents a small basket, about 8 inches across, intended especially for the packing of a bunch of violets, the raised cover preventing the crushing of the topmost blossoms. One florist recently used five dozen similar to this. The larger basket allows cut flowers to he loosely without bending the stems. A side view of this large basket is shown with the jardinieres.
These baskets are very suitable to decorate with color. The smaller ones are attractive dipped after they are completed in a soft toned dye bath - baby blue in Diamond Dyes gives a delicate dull blue, and Easy Dye gives tan, dull green and lavender. The latter color and old rose, however, are hard to render permanent on reed. Large baskets are liable to lose their shape if dipped in dye, and are more satisfactory stained with oil paint and turpentine, as described above.
Glass-Bottomed Tea Tray. Small Flat Baskets
Trays are most fascinating examples of the basket-makers' art. The woven one at the left offers but little difficulty, as it resembles a low, round basket, but the glass bottomed one is quite complex. A wooden bottom must be used to keep the glass in place, and the weaving is done around this. To accomplish this, it is necessary to use a large piece of cardboard on which a line is drawn exactly the size of the wooden bottom, to hold the weaving in place. The cardboard is pierced with holes one-half inch apart through which small spokes are run, projecting both above and below the cardboard about 4 inches. The top may then be woven 1 1/2 inches high. The upright ends of the spokes should then be worked down through as far as the wooden bottom and pulled out inside to make a border as illustrated in the photograph. The cardboard may then be pulled out, the glass, cretonne and wooden bottom put in place, and the weaving continued to form the lower part of the tray. A very good finish is made by bending the bottom of the spokes in toward the center, and weaving a border on the bottom of the tray to hold the board solid.
Space cannot be given here to directions for elaborate borders, handles and covers, as only the most elementary principles can be taught in so brief a paper. But the appended illustrations of actual baskets, most of which were made in a home for chronic invalids, will offer suggestion as to the methods of working out the more difficult problems of the fitting of covers and adjusting of suitable handles. The large basket shown in detail, shows an interesting method of dealing with the cover; as this sinking of the handle allows the basket to be packed in a trunk without taking up undue space. The handles of this basket are wound with heavy chair cane. It is also strengthened by cords of No. 6 weave around the sides.
The most interesting feature of all these baskets is the original manner of applying the various weaves, and it is hoped that the reader will devise still more quaint and practical designs.
