Vail-Summit surgeons lead medical mission trip to Rwanda
July 21, 2014
EAGLE COUNTY — When two local surgeons landed in Rwanda, they almost doubled that country's number of orthopedists.
Rwanda, a country with 12 million people, only has three orthopedic surgeons. Dr. Richard Cunningham and Dr. Peter Janes, of Vail-Summit Orthopaedics, along with a surgical team were there for a medical missionary trip to teach Rwandan surgeons to do the kinds of surgeries most of us think are routine.
Janes spent days teaching them to treat clubfoot. Cunningham taught arthroscopic reconstruction.
They learned as much as they taught.
"It's such a cliche to say that it makes you appreciate everything we have in this country and this valley, but it's so true," Cunningham said. "I had never done a medical mission. After 10 years, I was looking to do something like this, recharge my batteries and remind me why I got into this in the first place."

Rwanda, you may recall, was gutted by a civil war that killed millions. The violence mostly subsided two decades ago, and the country began the long road back.
"It has advanced light years since that brutal genocide. They've done remarkable things in 20 years," Cunningham said.
Still, most people don't have electricity and running water, Cunningham said.
He and Janes spent their week working in a hospital supported by a Saudi prince that was built just before the genocide started.
Cunningham's 16-year-old son came along. He worked in an orphanage for the week.
"It'll change the perspective of anyone who was raised here," Cunningham said.
Everything all the time
Rwandan doctors currently don't do ACL arthroscopic reconstruction, but they are learning. However, they do everything else all the time.
"They have to deal with such a wide variety of things. Here, we are so specialized. One day they're working on a knee, the next a spine, then a hand. They're a jack of all trades and do it all very well," Cunningham said.
Then there's the equipment. Cunningham and Janes helped build the only set of working arthroscopic gear in the country while they were there.
"We weren't sure we'd be able to do it, but with everyone working together, we were able to pull together bits of equipment and made it work," Cunningham said.
Orthopedic companies Smith & Nephew and DePuy donated some equipment. The Vail-Summit team packed it in their bags and took it with them. If it goes through customs, it never shows up.
"It's impossible to say what happens with it," Cunningham said.
Even with the equipment they brought, they didn't have a working set of arthroscopic gear.
Cunningham said there was a moment when he wasn't sure they'd be able to do this. Then again, they're surgeons; they fix people and things.
They cobbled together pieces and parts meant for other things entirely, like urology tubing, and created one set of working arthroscopic equipment.
"You realize how you take everything for granted. I have everything I need, and it's all right there," Cunningham said.
Improving constantly
Finally, it was time to see patients.
They worked one office day with the three surgeons and saw 50 patients. Then they set about teaching arthroscopic surgery the other three days, operating on 15 patients in three days.
On their clinic day, they saw a 20-year-old male who had spontaneously become paraplegic because of tuberculosis.
There was a guy from Rwanda's armed forces who had badly injured his knee. He wouldn't be able to be part of the armed forces unless they fixed him. They did.
It was slow. They'd operate for an hour, then wait an hour and a half for the equipment to finish sterilizing so they could operate again.
"They kept getting better each time they did it," Cunningham said.
Curing clubfoot
Clubfoot is a birth defect that occurs once in about every 1,000 births, Janes said. The foot turns inward and points downward, and it often appears that the patient is walking on his or her ankle.
Babies in the United States with clubfoot are normally treated soon after birth, when the tendons and ligaments are still very flexible.
"Unfortunately, for many children in Rwanda, this method is not always available following birth, and treatment then requires more difficult surgical procedures," Janes said. "The result is that some children with clubfoot are left untreated and have physical limitations for life."
Janes led Centura Global Health Initiative training for 30 Rwandan physicians and physical therapists at the Sainte Marie Orthopaedic Children's Hospital in Rilima, Rwanda.
The trainees were then sent back to their clinics and hospitals across Rwanda to become the trainers of others, Janes said. Vail-Summit is also setting up a fellowship program for junior doctors from Rwanda.
"Our hope is that those surgeons will be able to make an impact. They're helping patients, but they're also training others," Cunningham said.

The fundamentals of finance are part of the curriculum at just a very small percentage of schools. Using widely available resources such as books and the Internet, however, parents can put together an effective do-it-yourself course.
Lessons, activities, and responsibilities should be age appropriate, of course. A few tips:
*Give your children some money to budget. Experts differ on whether an allowance or regular payment for household chores is best, but kids should start early dealing with the concept that they have some money to spend and some to save.
*Let them know that they will be responsible for certain purchases and/or for some percentage of the cost of larger purchases.
*Teach them the basics of household accounting - how to balance a checkbook, how to read a bank statement, how to pay a bill. Some kids are amazed to discover that things as basic as electricity must be paid for!
*Teach them about interest. Show them how money grows when it's earning interest. As they get older, teach them the basics of other investments, such as stocks, bonds, and mutual funds.
*Help them develop good credit habits. Get them to understand the pitfalls of buying on credit, the dangers of making minimum payments, and the problems that can result from a credit card's high compounding interest rates.

ORLANDO, FLA. — The big top will stay, and so will the ``Circus Spectacular`` show beneath it. But many of the vintage objects and exhibits that have helped to give Circus World its circus identity over the past 11 years will go on the auction block this weekend in New York City.
The collection is impressive enough to make circus buffs` eyes bulge. There are vintage circus wagons, some from the horse-drawn era, and a restored 1920s calliope that still seems to shake the earth with its whistle.
There is a 1921 Coney Island carousel, still possessed of its original cast of 48 wooden horses from the hands of the late master carver Marcus C. Illions. Its value is estimated at $500,000. Until its sale, it will continue to carry customers round and round at Circus World.
And that`s only the beginning. The collection of several thousand items, including circus documents and books, is ``ten times the volume and quality of anything else like it,`` said Arlan Ettinger, president of Guernsey`s auction house. Guernsey`s, which will wield the gavel over the entire collection this weekend in a sale at New York`s Seventh Regiment Armory, specializes in exotic commodities.
``This will be the largest sale of its kind in the world,`` said Ettinger. He estimated its collective worth at $1.5 million. With the exception of the carousel and wagons, the items will be on view at the auction.
As it enters its second decade as a Central Florida theme park, Circus World, located at the intersection of Interstate 4 and U.S. Highway 27 southwest of Orlando, has a new owner and a new direction. Full-scale circus shows under the big top, a ``Be a Star`` circus show in which visitors can brave the flying trapeze in a safety harness, a large-screen circus movie and other shows continue to be central features of the 110-acre park.

Skip to comments.Russell Comes Out Swinging Against Murtha
Posted on 09/17/2008 11:59:20 AM PDT by impeachedrapist
PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Lt. Col. Bill Russell was in the Pentagon when it was attacked on September 11th.
"The office I was in was actually one floor up and about 150 feet from where the cockpit ended," says Russell.
That experience and his military service in Iraq shaped Russell's strong support for the Iraq war and his political challenge to long-time Democratic Congressman John Murtha.
"People can disagree about whether we should be there, but the fact of the matter is that we are there -- and we have no choice but to win and achieve victory," says the Republican candidate.
Facing off against Murtha -- the leading critic of the war -- in a congressional district that stretches across this region, Russell's television ads use Murtha's own words against certain American troops.
Russell's ads quote Murtha, saying of American troops, "They went into houses and killed children, women and children."
"I believe he aided and abetted the enemy," says Russell.
Russell says Murtha's accusations against the Haditha Marines -- found untrue in all but one still unresolved case -- led to American deaths in Iraq.
(Excerpt) Read more at kdka.com ...
Murtha ping
I'm pulling for both also and donated. Haven't heard a word on any polling as yet, when or if any polling comes out we'll ping the list to it.
However, we do have alot of poles...
Bump to those poles, they're beautiful!
I would imagine this is true. Part of Murtha's district includes Johnstown and most (if not all) of Cambria County, which tends to vote pretty heavily Dem (it's one of the central PA counties that went for Gore in 2000 IIRC).
I'm proud to have the pleasure of voting for Russell.
Please remember to drag family and friends to the polls to vote for Bill Russell.
Go Bill Russell go !!
I'm off for the night also. G'Night Y'all.
Hah! Just checked my pic folder and the date I stole it was 8/17, one month ago today. :-)
G'Night, All.
Does anyone have an idea as to where Russell stands in his race?
Well, no, but ...
... I sure hope he kicks Murtha's big ole butt BIG time !!!
See my previous reply, just above ...
I really hope the X-marine goes down.
So far as I'm concerned, he's Murtha Focker.
Murtha Focker.
** I really hope the X-marine goes down. **
- - - - -
Me too. He is a DISGRACE to the Marines, imho ...

7 Useful Tips for Cooking with Herbs
What's one of the biggest differences between a good cook and a great cook? They love herbs and they know how to use them. But let's face it — getting those herbs just right can be intimidating. Not only do you have different varieties of herbs to choose from, but you also need to decide if you want fresh or dried. To get you started on your herbaceous education, here are seven of our favorite tips to master now.
1. Know when to use fresh vs. dried herbs.
When it comes to using herbs — fresh or dried— it's all about timing. When you're adding them to the dish is the biggest factor involved in deciding between the two. Dried herbs are best added while a dish is cooking, whereas fresh herbs are best added at the end. Of course, sometimes you have to substitute, which means you'll need to use approximately 1 1/2 times the amount of fresh herbs as you would dried.
More About Fresh vs. Dried Herbs: When to Use Fresh Herbs & When to Use Dried Herbs
2. Learn the 3 keys to an indoor herb garden.
Water, light, and temperature — pay attention to these three factors, and your kitchen herb garden is sure to flourish. Ideally most herbs want at least six hours of sunlight per day. They should also be kept warm (from 65°F to 75°F), and if the air in your home gets dry, make sure to mist them to occasionally in addition to watering them.

3. Master the chiffonade.
You've seen those skinny strips of basil show up on restaurant salads and soups, but do you know how to make them at home? It's easier than you might expect. Simply roll a few leaves up into a cylinder and slice them across the roll to create ribbons.
Learn How: How To Chiffonade Basil
4. Learn to love dried herbs.
Some cooks might turn up their noses at dried herbs, preferring fresh in all cases, but if you know how to use them, dried herbs can be the best for your dish. The key to success is restocking your dried herbs regularly, and for an extra punch of flavor, try rubbing them between your fingertips, which will release any oil that's left in the leaves.
More About This Tip: The Secret to Getting the Most out of Dried Herbs
5. Understand the lingo.
Do you know the difference between "minced parsley" and "parsley, minced" when listed in a recipe's ingredients? The former means you should mince the parsley before you measure it, while the latter means you should measure the parsley and then mince it. Complicated, right? The good news is that with leafy herbs like parsley you'll end up with about the same amount, so don't worry too much about the order.
More About This Tip: The Best Way to Measure Fresh Herbs
6. Embrace olive oil.
Not only will the olive oil help prevent some of the browning you might get from freezing the herbs in water, but it also means you can add the herbs directly to the dish you're cooking. Simply drop the frozen olive oil-herb combo into a soup, stew, or veggie dish. Just make sure you've labeled which herbs are which in your freezer.
Learn How: Freeze & Preserve Fresh Herbs in Olive Oil
7. Strip your herbs the right way.
There are two main categories of herbs — ones with woody stems and ones with soft stems — and they require different techniques when it comes to removing the leaves. For woody stems, use a firm hand and zip your fingers along in the opposite direction from the way the leaves grow; for soft stems, pinch off the leaves close to the base. And don't toss those stems — they can be used to flavor soups or broths.

Neil DeGrasse Tyson on Star Talk
By: Jocelyn Uithaler | Wed 22 Apr 2015, 12:00
Presented by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Star Talk features interviews with actors and comedians, with the aim of bringing science to the audience.
National Geographic's Star Talk premieres on DStv, tonight at 21:55.
Presented by Neil DeGrasse Tyson, Star Talk takes the same format as DeGrasse Tyson's podcast of the same name. Interviewing actors and comedians, DeGrasse Tyson's aim is to bring science to the audience.
"My guest is someone from pop culture... And the conversation I engage in with them explores all the ways science has influenced their lives and their livelihood.
This is a blend of science, comedy and pop culture that is the trademark of Star Talk, which I think has resonated strongly with people," he said.
Some of the guests DeGrasse Tyson has featured on his podcast include Josh Groban, Morgan Freeman, Richard Gere and Whoopi Goldberg, and in tonight's episode of Star Talk, Trekkies are in for a special treat.
George Takei, better known as Sulu from the original Star Trek TV series and films will be featured in the episode.
DeGrasse Tyson warns that Star Talk isn't for those who are "science snobby", but "you're going to learn some science, no matter what."
DeGrasse Tyson's interest in the universe started when he was only nine years old, when he visited the Hayden Planetarium in New York, which he now directs.
"I see kids now and I think, 'That was me'. And my parents would later buy me my first telescope, a starter telescope. Later on I would walk dogs at 50c per walk and bought myself a larger telescope."
To see more of DeGrasse Tyson and learn about our exciting yet unknown universe, you must also tune in to National Geographic on Saturday 25 April at 20:10 for Hubble's Cosmic Journey.
DeGrasse Tyson will narrate the special programme, which commemorates Hubble space telescope, which has been orbiting our planet for 25 years.
On the importance of Hubble, DeGrasse Tyson said: "It is the most successful scientific instrument that has ever been created by every possible measure. It has more research papers published on it and more countries who are collaborators on it. It's an extraordinary instrument deserving of this kind of biographical reflection."
And although DeGrasse Tyson isn't totally convinced that alien abductions have happened, he admits that he would like to be abducted by aliens one day and already has a bunch of questions planned.
"I would ask them about their technology. I would ask them about their maths. I would ask if they have a periodic table of elements, which looks like ours. You'd ask things that have some universal structure to them. I'm not going to ask if they go to health spas!"
To hear what questions DeGrasse Tyson asks George Takei, make sure to book your seat with National Geographic on Wednesdays at 21:55 for Star Talk.

Office Hours with Senator Kirsten Gillibrand
United States Senator from New York
About Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, United States Senator from New York
Kirsten E. Gillibrand was first sworn in as United States Senator from New York in January 2009. In November 2012, Gillibrand was elected to her first six-year Senate term with 72 percent of the vote, winning 60 of New York's 62 counties.
Prior to her service in the Senate, Gillibrand served in the U.S. House of Representatives, representing New York's 20th Congressional District, which spanned 10 counties in upstate New York.
Throughout her time in Congress, Senator Gillibrand has been committed to open and honest government. When she was first elected, she pledged to bring unprecedented transparency and access to her post. And she did, becoming the first Member of Congress to post her official public schedule, personal financial disclosure, and federal earmark requests online. The New York Times called Gillibrand's commitment to transparency a "quiet touch of revolution" in Washington, and The Sunlight Foundation, the leading advocacy organization dedicated to making government more open and transparent, praised Senator Gillibrand as a pioneer for her work.
And she hasn't let up since. In 2012, Senator Gillibrand became the first Senator in history to publish her personal tax returns for every year she has served in office directly on her own website, and led the effort to pass the STOCK Act, legislation to finally make insider trading by members of Congress illegal, making them play by the exact same set of rules as every other American. A Washington Post report hailed the STOCK Act as the "most substantial debate on congressional ethics in nearly five years."
In the U.S. Senate, Senator Gillibrand has made her presence felt, helping lead the fight to repeal "Don't Ask Don't Tell," the policy that banned gays from serving openly in the military, and providing health care and compensation to the 9/11 first responders and community survivors that are sick with diseases caused by the toxins at Ground Zero. Senator Gillibrand worked to bring Democrats and Republicans together to win both legislative victories, leading Newsweek/The Daily Beast to name Senator Gillibrand one of "150 Women Who Shake the World."
As the mother of two young children, Senator Gillibrand knows that working families are struggling in this difficult economy. By making quality child care and higher education more affordable, providing property tax relief and keeping our neighborhoods safe, Senator Gillibrand's legislative agenda puts middle class and working families first. She has written legislation to address the country's nursing shortage, make quality autism treatment more affordable, improve asthma treatment for children, and ensure that drinking water and baby products are safe for consumers. And she led the way to take drop-side cribs that were responsible for the deaths of infants off the market.
Senator Gillibrand's number one priority is to rebuild the American economy, by creating good-paying jobs, helping small businesses get loans, and partnering with the private sector to foster innovation and entrepreneurship. She wrote new legislation to strengthen and retool New York's manufacturers, and stamp more products with the words "Made in America," and create new manufacturing jobs in New York.
As the first New York Senator to sit on the Agriculture Committee in nearly 40 years, Senator Gillibrand is giving New York families the seat at the table they deserve as Congress debates food policy. She worked hard to strengthen the 2012 Farm Bill for New York by strengthening specialty crops, expanding rural broadband, improving recovery efforts from natural disasters, and protect access to nutrition assistance for struggling children and families.
After serving on the Armed Services Committee in the House, Senator Gillibrand is again serving on the Senate Armed Services, using her position to strengthen America's armed services, national security and military readiness, and to continue fighting for America's troops and military families by creating better economic opportunities for veterans returning home to their families today. Among her top priorities for the 113th Congress, is ending the scourge of sexual violence in the military, and strengthening the rights and protections of victims of sexual assault.
From her seat on the Aging Committee, Senator Gillibrand is committed to fighting on behalf of seniors, working to lower the cost of prescription drugs, make long-term care more affordable so seniors can remain independent for as long as they are able, and protecting seniors from financial fraud. Senator Gillibrand is also working to lower property taxes, co-sponsoring legislation that would give New York residents a full federal tax deduction for their property taxes.
After attending Albany's Academy of Holy Names, Senator Gillibrand graduated in 1984 from Emma Willard School in Troy, New York, the first all women's high school in the United States. A magna cum laude graduate of Dartmouth College in 1988, Gillibrand went on to receive her law degree from the UCLA School of Law in 1991 and served as a law clerk on the Second Circuit Court of Appeals.
After working as an attorney in New York City for more than a decade, Senator Gillibrand served as Special Counsel to United States Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Andrew Cuomo during the Clinton Administration. She then worked as an attorney in Upstate New York before becoming a member of Congress.
Born and raised in upstate New York, Senator Gillibrand now lives in Brunswick, New York, with her husband, Jonathan Gillibrand, and their two young sons, nine-year-old Theodore and four-year-old Henry.

You might say, "Well, sure, because agencies don't recruit M.B.A.s anymore." How can they? What is the "hook"? This once-glamorous, high-profile, high-energy, fast-paced cauldron of creativity that Jerry Della Femina called "the most fun you can have with your clothes on" is nowhere on the radar screens of the most desirable young people now entering the work force. Of course, inextricably linked to all those great attributes that generated the "Jerry-ism" were competitive salaries. It's amazing how much more exciting and glamorous a business can be when one can afford to live above subsistence levels.
If you think we're exaggerating, consider that the average starting agency salary (about $32,000) is about 25% less than the insurance industry, 21% less than that for our largest nonprofit, the federal government, and 20% less than the starting salary of a librarian, according to a recent report in The Wall Street Journal. And the salary difference between agencies and clients for an equivalent title ("marketing coordinator") is even greater: 35%. You can see how the "glamour" of working at an agency can pale in the face of hard cash.
Yet we've heard from a number of agencies that say they believe they should be able to compete with management-consulting firms for top talent-and seem bewildered why they can't. When asked what they think will attract these folks to advertising agencies given the average starting salary for management-consulting firms is $88,000, the answer is invariably some variation on the "advertising is a glamorous and exciting business" theme. To say that agencies just don't get it doesn't begin to cover this kind of blindness.
Little wonder that traditional agencies are losing business to the better integrated marketing shops who work "on the ground" in the retail outlets or service counters-the place where the product or service meets the consumer. These agencies have a different take on what constitutes creative selling. They aren't married to a pool of 30-second ads and a network buy as the panacea for all marketing communications ills, and, because their margins haven't been badly eroded, they can still afford to hire and train good young people who actually get into their clients' business. We see their growth as a growing trend.
Long term, this is a disaster in the making for an industry that is already ratcheting downward at an ever increasing rate. There are some who feel the situation is now irretrievable. A great agency is simply an amalgam of great people. When you don't get great people you are in trouble. When you don't get them for a generation, you have what may be a dying business.
Agencies are losing
So who are the agencies getting? Certainly not the best and brightest. Agencies now get the people who were turned down for more desirable-and attractively compensated-employment, or the well-to-do who can afford to take a flier because they're not relying on their paycheck to cover pesky annoyances like food and rent. In either case, agencies are losing. In the first case, they're losing their most important asset: talent. In the second, they're limiting the broad perspective and diversity that fuel a great agency.
But why should the best and the brightest of our young go into a business that:
* Has seen an almost 30% decline in jobs since the end of 2000
* Has starting salaries only slightly higher than those of quick-serve restaurants
* Has seen its margins erode under constant client pressure
* Pays an agency president about as much as a fourth-year investment-banking associate
* Has been among the most unstable of all businesses
* Has seen its relevance questioned in the boardrooms of the largest corporations
Advertising is a critical marketing element in a free economy, and advertising agencies should be both a great business and a great career opportunity. But they're not. Agency chiefs seem to be constantly waiting for the turnaround that's just over the horizon, but never seems to arrive. The American Association of Advertising Agencies is a sponsor of Advertising Week in New York, and drags up icons from a three-network, pre-cable era in a feeble attempt to show the importance of the business. There still may be work for Charlie the Tuna and Mr. Peanut, but not for the talent to create them.
Agencies are constantly bemoaning what they feel is their continuing-and increasing-lack of importance to their clients. While part of this is surely a function of not reacting to a changing business environment, it's probable that diminishing agency relevance is also directly proportional to decreasing talent resources. Clients are understandably reluctant to trust their valuable brands to merely modest talents. That may at least partially explain why so many clients are seeking the services of a large number of firms rather than putting all of their brand eggs in one-possibly suspect-agency basket.
What might help
It is pointless to try to relive the days when agencies were truly the "marketing partners" they continue to long to be. It's time for those in power at the agencies to take a hard look at the business they're in now and take the measures necessary to address the business as it is today-and hopefully anticipate tomorrow's business needs as well. Times have changed, so get over it!
Here are four steps that may help:
* Accept that there's a problem and stop trying to turn back the clock.
* Recognize that the world has become truly media-neutral and structure yourself accordingly.
* Ensure your structure can generate competitive salaries so you can attract and keep top talent.
* Recognize that, no matter what your structure and however much talent you have, how important you are to your clients will always hinge on how well you meet their requirements, rather than how well you live up to an image of your own creation.
Although we have no doubt that advertising is at least as fascinating a career as the FBI-or any of the 99 other jobs on Fortune's M.B.A. hit parade-it's obvious that an advertising career just doesn't present sufficiently attractive opportunities (real or perceived) to make it a top choice. Until it does, the best and the brightest will be looking elsewhere. After all, the truth-along with a high salary-is out there. It's just not in advertising.

Pysanski Tangle Easter Eggs? Zentangle Inspired Pysanski Eggs? Pysangle Easter Eggs!
Submitted by Pam on Thu, 03/22/2012 - 21:33
Combining Pysanski with Zentangle inspired designs! I loved the idea! Wish it had been mine! But not my idea.
My friend Nancy Kelly suggested that I combine my "Sharpie Faux Pysansky Egg" decorating technique with a few Zentangle inspired doodles! I loved her idea at once! THANK YOU NANCY.
Of course this meant I would be blowing out more eggs - not exactly my favorite task - but I will tell you that I am getting much better at it!!
Fair warning! These are my prototypes so you get to see the good, the bad and the almost ugly results - as well as all my imperfections and a little side trip off the path to visit another idea that popped up while I was tangling! But - as most of you know by now, I am here to inspire and teach. And perfection is not the end game!
You may remember that my Faux Pysanski eggs were created on brown eggs to sort of imply the overall dyed effect of Pysanski. However, since filling in the colorful areas with black ink darkens the designs considerably, I decided to try white eggs as well.
Actually I wasn't expecting to like the white eggs - white and black eggs don't work for me. But with the addition of color - well - I find I prefer the white eggs!
There is really no big secret technique to reveal! Anyone armed with a set of Sharpies, a led pencil and a few blown out eggs can do this.
Here is a link to a site that provides lots of Pysanski designs for you to play with. When I provided this link last year, I was not aware that you can click through and see the design being drawn step by step! You may find this feature helpful.
And here are links to places where you might find some Zentangle design inspiration: 1. Zentangle- Zentangle: 2. TeriC Flickr page of her amazing Zentangles: 3. Zentangle Harmony site; and last but not least 4. Flickr home for Tangle Harmony 2012 Tangle Journal - don't miss seeing what these artists are doing with the templates. Worth a trip! Really!
Added after post date: Suzanne from TinkeredArt left a comment this morning. ( I had lost her in my big lost reader fiasco last summer.) Here is a link to her wonderful blog for more Zentangle inspiration - TinkeredArt. And on her side bar you will find another great resource: TanglePatterns.
Important note: Since I was planning to add the tangle designs, I tried to keep my Pysanski designs fairly simple. (You can see in the case of the blue/green egg just how mucked up things can get if too many Pysanski designs are employed.)
Before drawing your designs, you might want to refer to the "ole rubber band trick" in the Faux Pysanski post for the technique for dividing an egg into sections - you can see my lines faintly in the image above.
Once the sections are in place and your design is drawn on the egg surface with a pencil, use Sharpies to color in the design elements. The ink will probably not go on perfectly, but this isn't a huge problem - especially once the tangles are added.
I did notice that I could go over the colored area again if I wished for more intensity but it is almost impossible to get the color completely smooth and even.
Once the color is applied, outline the colored areas with a black sharpie and begin tangling to your heart's content!
I learned a couple tricks! It is easier to make a dotted line straight than it is a solid line straight!
And I learned when I did attempt a solid line, I could cover most errors, wiggles or stray lines by adding a little border of some kind!
Below - the front and sides of the other eggs in the basket.
Note: The last egg is a bit of a departure from the theme! I was working on the Concho Easter Cross at the same time and must have had a little crossover inspiration going on! All I can say about the experience of the brown and turquoise egg is that imperfect as it is, making it increased my respect for the skills of American Indian silversmiths and pottery makers 1,000 fold.
And it is a lovely and welcome reminder of home on my Easter tree.
So - without further adieu - or words - the rest of the story!
I hope something here will get your own muses fired up!I would love to see what you come up with!
You might also like to try this same technique on gourds. You will find a complete "how-to" here.
I love the patterns you did.

I love the patterns you did. My Dad showed my kids how to blow out eggs one of the times he came to visit. The kids are on spring break this week and I know my Mom has a full set of sharpie's we can use! If we do this, I'll be sure to share on the blog. :)

Thank you so much Nancy! I am glad you like my pysanski/zentangel eggs - and I especialy thank you for giving me the idea!
I am anxious to make more now that I have had a little chance to practice!
Don't forget you promised to send me pictures of your own pysanski eggs you are making this year.
P A M !! I can't stand it!
Submitted by Chris (not verified) on Fri, 03/23/2012 - 18:24.
I can't stand it! I'm making these. I'm not blowing them out, though; I'm just going to boil eggs and color them. Then take lots of photos. I can't have one more thing to save in this house or I'll be sent packing!
This is so pretty and so inspiring. We are leaving for Artfest on Wed. and I have to try to finish up other works before that, but I'm very tempted to take zentangled eggs with me! Maybe I will blow them out. Oh, decisions!
I have some wooden eggs... I could gesso those up and then do those!
You are very close to Artfest. Please come to Port Townsend some time btw March 28 and April 1 and look for me. I will be the one with a punched tin butterfly in my hair.

Submitted by Pam on Fri, 03/23/2012 - 18:31.
Just wanted to be sure that you don't EAT any eggs you color with a Sharpie! Egg shells are porus and I do not believe Sharpies ink is edible!!
Just in case some should leak through - avoid eating! That is why I use blown out eggs. Besides - i want to keep them forever!

Lovely Eggs! I have a question for you. Did you use any fixative or shellac of some sort on your sharpie eggs? Once I tried to spray a clear coat of acrylic on my eggs and instead of it leaving a nice finish, it smeared my design right off the egg! :( So now I am wondering how to make them shiny and protect the design next time. So far, I've not found anyone who has done this with some success.
Good question Judy! I do not
Submitted by Pam on Fri, 03/23/2012 - 15:36.
Good question Judy! I do not know the answer! But I have some egg shells I am saving for mosaic eggs and I will go test this out right now!
I have never sprayed my eggs. Will be back with results!
OK I am back! Judy, my test
Submitted by Pam on Fri, 03/23/2012 - 16:07.
OK I am back! Judy, my test "egg" did not run at all. In fact I am quite loving the lovely sheen and may seal all of my eggs in this way.
To be clear - my designs are applied with a Shaprie permanent marker. I have NOT used pysansky dyes or any other dye and I can not speak to how they would react to being sprayed.
I used a fairly inexpensive but so far very reliable acrylic spray available at Michaels stores - Americana Acrylic Sealer/Finisher Gloss made by DecoArt.
Thanks so much! I just

Thanks so much! I just purchased a set of permanent markers and am ready to try some designs on blown-out eggs. I made a note of the acrylic sealer and will give it a try. :) I've been jealous of pysanky eggs forever and now I can make some pretty eggs too without all the fuss.

Rhode Island's failing grade makes it, to borrow a favorite word of Speaker Nicholas Mattiello's, an "outlier."
The report notes that "Rhode Island enacted a measure that restricts insurance coverage of abortion in the state insurance exchange" in 2015, a reference to Raimondo's behind the scenes budget shenanigans that ultimately resulted in an estimated 9000 people losing their abortion coverage under Obamacare. This story was covered here on RI Future first, and received scant attention elsewhere.
NARAL, a non-profit that engages in political action and advocacy efforts to oppose restrictions and expand access to abortion, has three ratings for governors and legislative bodies: pro-choice, mixed choice and anti-choice. Both the Rhode Island House of Representatives and the Rhode Island Senate were rated anti-choice.
All three Democratic candidates for president are running on strong pro-choice platforms. Hillary Clinton recently won the endorsement of Planned Parenthood and Bernie Sanders called for an expansion of Planned Parenthood funding, Raimondo's mixed-choice rating puts her badly out of step with the national Democratic Party.
As of this writing a request for comment from the governor's office has gone unanswered.

I'm just all about the linkys lately. I'm trying out a new one today in celebration of your "slide into summer." (I made that up... really it just means, from here on out, we've got more special events than we do normal days which will make the remainder of the school year fly).
So here is...
I bought some papers from Krista Wallden's TpT store... I needed an excuse to use them so the backgrounds are credit to her Creative Clips!
Crystal Cave is Wisconsin's longest cave in Spring Valley. It'll be a bit if a trek (50 minute bus ride), but since the kids have been studying rocks and minerals in science, it'll be a great match! I have fond memories of going to the cave as kid when my mom ran a daycare out of our home. Crystal Cave was a trip we went on often. I'll have to put on my brave face with all the bats around though. :S
Reading A-Z has over 70 scripts in ranging levels (leveled by their own system as well as F & P levels, DRA levels, Lexiles...) The have some scripts that have 4-5 parts and others that have 8+ parts. They also have mixed level scripts to allow for readers at different levels to participate in the same script!
For more info on how we did this project click the photo below!
14 student days left! Here we go!

I've got Windows versions of these programs (and Acid is Windows only) so I really want to know if these run ok! I want to use Boot Camp (ie XP) for my music creation & design work (until universal binaries appear) and Mac OS X for everything else... This is the most important factor for me in whether I get a MacBook Pro! Please persuade me

You can know God, our Heavenly Father, through his Son, Jesus Christ and through the working of the Holy Spirit of God by carefully studying the written Word of God. Jesus knew the rewards of righteousness and came to share them with all of mankind. What do you think Jesus would have us do today to gain those heavenly rewards? Jesus wants us to always do what is right according to God's teaching. To gain the rewards and promises of heaven we must be just like Christ by sharing love, trusting...

The suburb of Willagee has been transforming since the adoption of the Willagee Structure Plan in 2013, and has now been given another boost with Council's approval to progress a residential development project on the former Carawatha Primary School site.
The City of Melville purchased the former school site in 2006, with a genuine commitment to enhance the area and since that time has worked very closely with the local community to create a clear vision to invigorate the suburb.
Today Willagee is revitalised, with the centrally located suburb experiencing a wave of new investment, including a range of new businesses, amenities and public facilities. The completion of the award winning Carawatha Park has also added to the community focused family-friendly feel of the area.
The residential development will bring more variety and affordable housing choices to Willagee, meaning that more people will have more choices to live in Willagee, increasing confidence in the suburb and attracting new residents and businesses.
The City will work with the selected proponent Satterley Property Group to ensure a high-quality and sustainable product is delivered offering new diverse housing choices for the 2.59 hectare site, including single residential lots, cottage homes, duplexes and apartments offering a range of affordable to the more expensive options.
The residential development will also generate an economic return which will be reinvested into local infrastructure and projects, as well as stimulate opportunities for additional local jobs and businesses.
Sustainable urban development, building and design initiatives, public open space and public art contributions will all help deliver a built form residential development that is consistent with the overall vision for Willagee, bringing the Willagee Structure Plan to life.
The Carawatha Residential Development concept also aligns with the key principles and objectives of the City's Land Asset Management Plan.

I can't take it, man. I just can't take it. I'm so busy and I'm leaving for 10 days to go visit my family and there is produce everywhere.
Stash keeps trying to help me, but she is more hindrance than help. lol
I have 2 buckets that are this large. They are both full of apples. I have at least 10 more buckets in the orchard on the trees. I really need about 10 more days before I leave for Indiana. Or maybe for the vineyard and the orchard to stop ripening a month early.
Or maybe Stash just needs some opposable thumbs. Either way. I need help.

Day 14 of 45: Gazillions Of Buttons
6.31pm. Pretty tired. Heading to San Fran at the crack of dawn. Need to pack. Need to pick up laundry. I hate airports. I hate flying. Moan. Moan. Moan.
Last night I met one of the hippest companies on the planet who have experienced humungus success in recent times . Their space was lush.
When I got in I had to go through the usual procedure of trying to hook my laptop to their presentation screen. This procedure never works simply. There is always a process whereby people stand up and begin fiddling with wires and multiple remotes with gazillions of buttons. You can meet the biggest companies in the world of tech, but somehow they can't figure out how to use their own TVs.
The guy we were meeting sat back strangely in his big leather chair as I did my presentation standing up talking down to him.
He basically told me in a round about way that his company is abandoning what made it great… to do everything but that thing that made it great in the first place. Does that make sense? No matter how big I pitched what we do, the conversation kept coming back to numbers. Ugh.
This is a great company but it's hard not to see everyone as a kind of enemy just now.
I'll show them!
My first meeting today was with a former juggernaut of the web. They are currently trying to reclaim their former glory. I think my company could help add a degree of credibility to that effort.
Was a decent conversation. Went on for about an hour. He asked a ton of questions, which I liked. It's easy to ask questions. It shows your curious. Tip… even if your not interested in something, ask questions; it's a way of being polite.
After I did my big spiel, and he asked all his questions, he proceeded to tell us the state of the industry (loaded with a ton of negatives) for the next 20 minutes. All stuff we knew.
So yeaaaaah. Again, it was fine, but don't think anything will come of it. You never know.
And finally, just back from another meeting. It was more of a biz dev meeting, but I tried to spike their interest in what we were doing.
"Yeah, we should try to work together. Maybe…"
I'm tired of meeting people who are in such a great position in life, but look thoroughly bored with what they are doing. People who seem to have seen everything. It looks like nothing would excite them.
And the money thing, endless conversations about money. I mean there has to be more to life than that pursuit. Right? Anybody?
I've done this rant before.
Over and out.

Union workers could be at work Monday
After more than two months on strike, Lockheed Martin machinists are expected to vote this week on a new labor contract after a tentative deal was reached with the company.
Lockheed officials announced late Saturday that after four days of negotiations, the aerospace company reached a tentative agreement with the union that represents 3,600 striking employees. No terms were disclosed.
On Strike, union members voice contract concerns
Members of Lockheed Martin's Machinists Local 776 union voted to reject Lockheed's final contract proposal and to strike this week. Workers who we talked to on the picket lines stated over and over their opposition to company proposals that would eliminate a defined benefit pension plan for new hires and a health care plan that features higher employee deductibles and co-payments.
"My parents worked here and retired from here because of a good pension plan," said one striker who remained anonymous. "I work here now and someday one of my children may work here. I want them to have the same benefits."
This is the fifth time the union has gone on strike. Previous events were in 1946, 1984, 2000, and 2004. The longest strike lasted three weeks and the union is expecting a longer one this time.
The union represents about 3,600 workers at the west Fort Worth Lockheed plant that do most of the aircraft assembly and manufacturing work on the F-35 and F-16 fighter jets or service the machines and facilities. Continue reading "On Strike, union members voice contract concerns"

The two aircraft, piloted by U.S. Marine Corps Maj. Joseph Bachmann and U.S. Marine Corps Lt. Col. Matt Taylor, took a 90-minute ferry flight from Fort Worth to Florida. Both 5th Generation fighters will be used for pilot and maintainer training at the new F-35 Integrated Training Center. Continue reading "First two Marine Corps F-35s put in training"
Japan to buy F-35s for military
In an announcement this week, Japan's government has selected the F-35 Lightning II fighter as their warplane. Japan is the first nation to purchase the fighter jet outside of the original eight partners that helped pay some of the development costs. None of those nations have yet to actually order more than a couple of planes. Japan chose Lockheed's F-35 over the Boeing F/A-18 and Eurofighter Typhoon.
"We are honored by the confidence the Japanese government has placed in the F-35 and our industry team to deliver this 5th Generation fighter to the Japan Air Self Defense Force," said Bob Stevens, Lockheed Martin chairman and chief executive officer. "This announcement begins a new chapter in our long-standing partnership with Japanese industry and builds on the strong security cooperation between the U.S. and Japan."
The good news was embraced by workers at Lockheed that build the aircraft.
"With all the delays and problems that have been associated with the jet, we were all starting to get a little worried about our jobs," said one worker who wanted to remain anonymous.
Japan is expected to buy 40 to 50 jets for as much as $8 billion.
