As we mourn the recent passing of Frank Bonilla, it is important to recognize and pay tribute to his towering place in the history of Puerto Rican and Latino Studies, and the magnitude of this contribution to the growth of a new field of research and analysis. In founding the Centro de Estudios Puertorriqueños in 1973, Frank's vision went beyond the introduction of relevant university courses and departments, the inclusion of more Puerto Rican students and faculty in the institutions of higher education, and even beyond the development of research on the various policy issues that affect the Puerto Rican community (though he, of course, wholeheartedly supported all of those valiant efforts). What made Frank special was that he recognized the need for and fought for the establishment of an intellectual space, a community of teachers, students, activists and cultural workers who would give voice to the perspective of the Puerto Rican diaspora itself.
This was a crucial and challenging struggle, with obstacles and adversaries on all sides. Prior to that historical turning-point of the early 1970s, most studies of the Puerto Rican community were conducted either by U.S. social scientists like Nathan Glazer and Oscar Lewis, who tended toward a "blame-the-victim" pathologizing of the experience, or professors and writers from Puerto Rico, whose elitist cultural nationalism made for a condescending and dismissive, if not outright racist attitude, toward New York Puerto Ricans. Eduardo Seda Bonilla's infamous "requiem for a culture" was just as racist as Oscar Lewis' "culture of poverty," and for remarkably similar reasons. With all its anti-colonial rhetoric, Manuel Maldonado-Denis' "emigration dialectic" leaned on the theoretically feeble and already outdated "assimilation" concepts of Milton Gordon.
Frank Bonilla was a pioneer in promoting an alternative to these distorted and demeaning approaches. He did so by bringing together students of the experience who could work with him in developing a structural and historical understanding of the Puerto Rican migration and the community's history in the United States. While always retaining collaborative relations with sympathetic established scholars from the United States, Latin America and Puerto Rico, his vision involved building a new generation of researchers and writers with roots in the New York setting, as had been his own formative experience. He chose to leave behind his prestigious academic career as a Latin Americanist to train his seasoned social scientific eye on the community in which he was born and raised, El Barrio.
I had the good fortune and privilege of working with Frank on this historic project since the earliest conceptualization of the institution when we were both professors (needless to say the only Puerto Ricans) at Stanford University in 1971-2. When we worked to apply Marxist theory and methods to the subject of Puerto Rico, the migration, and the community in the U.S., we were not interested in foisting an ideological doctrine on that lived experience but, very much in tune with the intellectual and political tenor of the times, in placing the subject of analysis in the framework of the structural and historical conditions that shaped that experience.
U.S. imperialism and the fight against colonialism were, of course, the central axis of analysis, but we wanted to bring to the fore the complex interplay of class, racial and gender relations which gave concrete shape to the migration and attendant community realities. Most important, we sought to gain and project an accurate "from within" understanding the particularities of a social experience that was both Puerto Rican and "from here" at the same time.
This was before the term "diaspora" existed in scholarly or everyday speech, and when ideas of "hybrid" cultural life were in their infancy and still difficult for anyone to wrap their minds around. It was all either "assimilation" or "cultural genocide." "Nuyorican" was still no more than a derogatory usage purveyed by the Island elite.
By working together and daring to pose new questions in new ways, the intellectual community around the Centro in those early years was able to forge alternative visions and identify uncharted lines of analysis that have influenced the debate ever since. Frank Bonilla was
the primary instigator and catalyst of that momentous effort from the beginning. May he rest in peace and may his unique contribution be given the tribute it so richly deserves.

There they sat. Five gorgeous fat quarters we'd been hoarding from Amy Butler's classic Love collection. They hadn't been purchased for any particular project, but only because they were just so very pretty. They looked lonely all folded up on a shelf. So, an idea began to percolate. What if we could create an apron from those five fat quarters where there would be virtually no wasted fabric? The scraps from this garden party apron would fit in a garden party teacup.
ScrapBusters: Colorful Ruffled Oven Mitts
As maker's, it's time we fess up: scraps are a bit of an addicition. When we love a fabric, it's hard to say goodbye after just one project. So into the save bin they go, bits and pieces we can't wait to use again. Today's ScrapBusters project is a great reason to pull out some of the prettiest, springiest fabrics from your scrap stash. Blend them together into a happy mix of pattern and color. Each oven mitt uses up to four different fabrics. Wouldn't these make a great gift for wedding shower season?
Three Tier Ombre Apron with Shabby Chic Style
Ombre is a French word for shading or graduating. In fashion, it refers to the graduation of color in a garment, such as when a fabric is very dark at one end and gradually lightens. With the multitude of tones to choose from within today's quilting cotton solids, we were able to achieve a beautiful ombre effect in this three tier apron design. Using colors from within the Michael Miller Cotton Couture collection, our ombre effect goes from light Vanilla on top to a dusky Sage at the bottom of the triple tier skirt. These beautiful neutrals were the perfect base for a little shabby chic style. We added vintage buttons, heirloom lace, subtle embroidery, and a surprise tulle layer in the middle of the skirt. Magnifique!
Heart Shaped Hot Pads
Two hearts are always better than one, and our heart shaped hot pads are the perfect pair. They slip onto your hands to give you a protected yet flexible grip for hot pots and pans. Patterns are offered for both the full heart shape as well as the unique curved pockets. A diamond quilting pattern secures the insulating layers of fabric, thermal batting, and regular batting, but you could alter the quilting pattern to best suit your fabric's motif and your personal style.
Copper & Cotton Adjustable Apron: Dritz Hardware in New Copper Finish
In 2014, a team of Belgian scientists analyzed why humans are attracted to shiny objects. They theorized it is rooted in our desire not necessarily for the object itself, but because it reminds us of our need for water. Well, alright then – this stunning apron with its copper accents is making us very thirsty! Although not as shimmering as a polished brass or nickel, the new Copper finish available in popular Dritz® hardware is a metallic to fall in love with. We've paired it with a metallic linen blend fabric in a matching copper, then finished the design with a natural canvas and cotton webbing alongside a gorgeous printed cotton accent for the skirt. Go ahead and grab a glass of water, then read on for all the instructions.
Ruffle Bunnies: Fun Appliqué Kitchen Towels
These kitchen towel Ruffle Bunnies are ready to hop-to-it and help with your dish drying. Download our free appliqué templates to make a set for yourself as well as all your friends. As you know, bunnies have many friends and relations, so they like to have lots of company. We used a Fat Quarter Shop Jolly Bar bundle to cut out our cute bunny trio. These 5" x 10" pre-cuts are a FQS exclusive and were the perfect size for all three designs. You're going to love the unique way we came up with to create the double ruffle, which is finished on all sides and doesn't leave a visible seam allowance. It's like magic, you might say a bit like pulling a rabbit out of a hat… if you aren't too tired of the bun-bun metaphor yet!
Empire Waist Apron
This apron has a unique empire waist and lovely details that make it pretty enough to wear outside the kitchen: piping, gentle gathering across the skirt, an eye-catching oval pocket, and an optional fabric flower. We added a safety-pin to the back of our flower so it could be worn at strap level, at the empire waist or simply removed. We suggest a medium weight fabric, such as the original 100% cotton twill we used, to give the design its crisp style.
Make Your Own Reusable Grocery Bags
Just when you think you're the reigning Queen of Green – reusing and recycling your way through the day, someone rains on your parade. Stories have hit the media in recent years about everyone's favorite green choice: the reusable store grocery bag. Turns out we should be washing those things after each use or they can become a breeding ground for bacteria. Problem: if you've ever tried washing the ones you often get at the market, they start to fall apart or go as limp as week-old lettuce. Great. Then, more stories pop up that show many of these same bags are coming from overseas, containing potentially unsafe levels of lead. Great x2. Time to make our own: prettier, safer, and sturdier. Reclaim your throne, Queen of Green!
Maker's Apron for Sewing, Crafting & More: Renaissance Ribbons Ribbon Packs
You are a Maker! You create beautiful things with your own two hands. The medium in which you work may be different: from flour and salt to flowers and soil to floral print fabric and seams; but your dedication to expressing yourself is the same. We're excited to showcase our first project of 2017 for our dear friends at Renaissance Ribbons. Our Maker's Apron is designed to hold whichever tools you use most in a lucky-thirteen set of pockets. And, the bib is detachable! The ribbon trim is designed in the perfect lengths to take advantage of Renaissance Ribbons' awesome Sampler Packs. These are a wonderful (and very affordable) way to collect and experiment with a variety of your favorite ribbons.
Gardening Apron with Comfortable Split Skirt
With the wild weather that's been hammering most of the country, I think we're all ready to Think Spring! If you're starting to dream about prepping the beds for vegetable starts, planting a few early flowers, or just washing the winter road grime off the car; our Garden Apron has a unique, split-skirt design that allows you to more easily move through all your outdoor chores. You can squat, bend, sit or stand without stretching, pulling or binding. We chose two tough denims to make the apron a true workhorse, then added bold lines of topstitching, rivets, and adjustable ties for fashion and function.

[David's published this on his blog, go over there and check it out!]
[I'm republishing a blogging pal's post. Not sure why you deleted it D, but I read it, and thought it should be out there.
By the way, although some ppl probably find it uncomfortable, as far as I am aware it was the US who was THE big backer of Indonesian independence. Without the US things could've go on longer and been much bloodier -- having said that I am no expert.]
Back in 1999 at the height of the troubles in East Timor over its vote for independence, I posted a request on an Indonesian Studies mailing list for information about Australia's role in Indonesia's struggle for independence. I received the following reply from one Waruno Mahdi who was five years old at the time and communicated some of his memories -
there was both an official and an inofficial role of Australia, but I unfortunately do not have the literature sources, mostly fragmentary memmories....
Official: On July 39 1947, Australia and India brought the question of the situation in Indonesia before the UN Security Council. The Australian representative stated, that his country considered that "the hostilities in progress in Java and Sumatra constituted a breach of the peace under Article 39 of the Charter..." and proposed that "the Security Council should call upon the Governments of the Netherlands and the Republic of Indonesia to cease hostilities and to settle their dispute by arbitration in accordance with the Linggadjati Agreement" (UN Department of Public Information Research Section Background Paper No. 58 [ST/DPI/SER.A/58], Lake Success, New York; see there pp. 2-3).
Considering that hostilities had resumed as result of a renewed Dutch "police action", the Australian and Indian initiative in the UN had the effect of profiting the Indonesian side.
I have no concrete knowledge of Australian territory being directly used as base for outward communication from Yogya (provisional capital of the Republic), but seem to vaguely recall having heard something about a Catalina (an amphibean airplane) flying to-and-fro to Darwin (breaking the Dutch blockade). What I do know for sure is only that we had Dakotas (DC-2 cargo-and-passenger planes) flying likewise through the blockade to Manila over an eastern route, and to Bangkok in roundabout route over the Indian Ocean with stop-over in Medan in Sumatra. The pilots of the Dakotas were American volunteers. Those that got shot down (most were shot down, typically over Sumatra, where they were easy prey for Dutch Spitfires based in Palembang) contributed their lives for the cause of Indonesian independence. Who flew the Catalina, and what happenned with him I don't know.
Inofficial: Australian dockers (particularly, if I remember correctly, in Melbourne) boycotted Dutch ships. This must have been around 1948. I remember my father taking me on his lap - I was 5 years old then - and showing me a newspaper with a large photo of a freighter at a pier and telling me that people in many countries were helping us in our fight for independence. Later when I was older I saw that picture again in some publication, and it was a Dutch ship at an Australian pier, being boycotted - at 5 years my grasp of geography had been somewhat hazy...... (hence, when Aussy dockers boycotted Indonesian ships in solidarity with East Timor recently, that was in faithful continuation of a long and laudable tradition).
I gather, however, that your present interest is motivated by recent anti-Australian remonstrations in Jakarta in connection with developments in TimTim. That's very good of course, I mean both in being concerned about sustainment of Indonesian-Australian good relations, and in contributing to enlightening the remonstrators....., but essentially one needn't be too upset or worried about them.
The Army is kicking a tantrum for having been rapped on the knuckles, and in a frantic all-out campaign to save face, it is mobilising every trick it has up its sleeves. This includes spreading disinformation about Australia to impressible youth gangs, and particularly hiring demonstrators for money. But the period of Soeharto-style total censorship is thank goodness behind us for good. Indonesians are now exposed to a free press, and military propaganda lies sooner or later get exposed for what they are.
Indonesian relations to Australia have a much too deep footing, to be so easily disrupted. For people of my father's generation, who experienced World War 2 and took active part in the Perjuangan, our fight for independence, Australia is our back country, the last retreat. Even today still, my mother cannot listen to "Waltzing Matilda" without flutters in the heart. That had been the signal tune of Radio Australia during the period of Japanese occupation, when just listening to it could earn one the death sentence if one were caught.
To be frank, it very much hurt my feelings of propriety, when official Australia solidarised with Soeharto Indonesia's occupation of East Timor. So, you can imagine that I feel particularly gratified by your present engagement in helping keep the peace there. It's indeed more than just keeping the peace in East Timor, it's also contributing to the re-establishment of democracy in Indonesia itself. So we owe you our thanks for that.....

actually I planned to save it as a draft only while I sought feedback from Mr Mahdi. Accidentally published it and then immediately deleted it, but obviously Google's cache grabbed it pretty quickly :) I guess it'll be alright to publish it.
- David said...
as for America's role, I'm sure that's true. I am only concerned with Australia's role at this point in time however.

Sorry about that David, yep Google is to blame again! :)
Yep, I totally agree the pt of the piece is about Australia's role afterall.

no worries John. I've just republished it. :)

Local PKA Kickboxing Charity Tournament
3 Oct 2011 | 2 Comments | posted by Lee Jones | in Blog
I am pleased to be part of a Charity Kickboxing Tournament be organized by local PKA clubs to raise money for the Huntingtons Disease Association which is close to a few of my students hearts after they have recently lost family members and are suffers themselves.
HD: What is Huntington's disease?
Huntington's disease, which is often called HD, is an hereditary disorder of the central nervous system.
It used to be known as Huntington's Chorea or HC.
Huntington's disease usually develops in adulthood and can cause a very wide range of symptoms.
The disease affects both men and women.
The event which will be held at the Rutland Sports Park, Ilkeston will consist of light contact sparring, Points fighting and junior padwork demonstrations. We are also organizing a raffle which already many students and local businesses have very generously donated some fantastic prizes. As well as the kickboxing matches & raffle there will also be a refreshment stand and free parking.
We are hoping to raise as much money as we can from the tournament and all profits/proceeds will be donated.
If you can help in anyway or would like to donated a raffle prize, buy a spectator ticket please use the contact me page!

I've lost a good friend to Huntington's disease and I'm truly moved by this event you've set up to raise money for the Huntington's Disease Association. I mean, it doesn't matter what ailment we're talking about of course, what matters is that you're helping people. I hope you guys have something great like this planned for the year 2013 as well, just say the word and I'll be there with my mates to support the event. You know the old saying, "As you sow so shall you reap", if anyone asks me for a contractor, I know exactly which company I'll be recommending them to.

2015 Nissan Sentra vs. 2015 Hyundai Elantra
A quick view of the compact sedan class reveals something that might not be evident from the segment's name: these cars really aren't all that compact. At the very least, they aren't as compact as they used to be. In fact, many cars that round out the segment--including the 2015 Nissan Sentra and 2015 Hyundai Elantra--would have been considered mid-size just a decade ago. So, in comparing these two great vehicles, it's best to focus on the "sedan" portion rather than the "compact" label. Both feature spacious interior cabins, generous trunk storage and ample legroom for up to five adult occupants.
However, these two vehicles aren't alike as it might initially seem, particularly in their disparate powertrains: the Sentra features an Xtronic Continuously Variable Transmission (CVT), while the Elantra offers a standard six-speed automatic transmission. Now, you're asking, "What is wrong with an automatic transmission?" And the answer is, nothing, really. It's a matter of preference, and what is offered in the Xtronic CVT is this: seamless transition between gears, more accurate shifting ratios and a higher fuel economy. This noteworthy feature, in addition to the Sentra's inexpensive sticker price and larger interior cabin, is much of the reason that it maintains a sizeable lead over its Hyundai competitor.
Find your 2015 Nissan Sentra at Robbins Nissan!
Long an industry favorite for drivers searching for dependability and great fuel economy at an appealing sticker price, the 2015 Nissan Sentra offers a hearty dose of sophistication as well. In addition to the Bluetooth connectivity that is now available on all models, the Sentra receives NissanConnect with Navigation as well, a fully-realized maps system complete with traffic rerouting, weather info and point-of-interest details provided by Google. It also interfaces with your smartphone to provide streaming audio, Pandora radio or access to social media.
The attention to detail felt in the technology and powertrains of the 2015 Nissan Sentra extends to the safety features as well. A full suite of airbags is complemented by electronic traction and stability control and antilock brakes, as well as LATCH connectors for child seats. Additionally, features such as an Easy Fill Tire Alert and Rearview Camera are now available as well. Inside and out, the 2015 Nissan Sentra proves yet again that dependable, confident transportation doesn't need to break the bank.
Test drive your 2015 Nissan Sentra at Robbins Nissan today!

Are Automotive Warning Lights Accurate?
With all the sensors in the car trying to determine if there are any problems with the vehicle, how sure can a driver be that the warning lights are accurate? The quick answer is: you can be pretty sure.
Sometimes, a sensor may trigger the warning light to come on, but then it quickly goes off. Typically this occurs when the sensor has told the Engine Control Unit (ECU) of a problem, but doesn't notice the problem as reoccurring. When this happens, it doesn't mean that the system isn't working. It usually means that the system found a problem but that it's been corrected or isn't persisting. In either case, unless your owner's manual recommends you do so, it's not necessary to take your vehicle to an automotive maintenance shop if the warning light goes off and stays off.
In order to check the accuracy of the warning light bulbs themselves, each time the car is switched on the warning lights will appear for several seconds and then go off. This allows the motorist to do a quick visual check to ensure all the warning lights are working properly. If a bulb that usually lights up does not come on, simply replace that bulb.
If a warning light comes on and stays on, then most likely there's an issue with the indicated area which should be addressed by the driver or an auto maintenance professional. A repair shop or even a vehicle maintenance supply store will be able to diagnose the problem accurately using an OBD code reader. The code readers plug in to the vehicle's diagnostic system and tell the reader which sensor or sensors have been tripped. Because the reader can pinpoint what area of the vehicle is sending the code, the warning lights provide an accurate picture of what type of maintenance is required.

(L-R) Panelists Cherian George, Alex Au, Ken Kwek, and chair of the discussion, Teo You Yenn at the "Deliberating Freedom of Expression in Singapore" panel organised by the Singapore Advocacy Awards (Photo: Calum Stuart)
By: Calum Stuart
Speaking to a full auditorium, former Nanyang Technological University journalism professor, Cherian George, was not shy when conveying his views to the audience.
"Of all the advanced industrial nations, Singapore has by far the least freedom of expression," he said in his opening speech.
This is, perhaps, unsurprising. George, who now lives and teaches in Hong Kong, is a well-versed and known critic of Singapore's off-limits topics, or 'OB markers'. A panel discussion on free speech and expression in Singapore was the ideal place to air his contentious sentiments.
Held at The Projector on Saturday (Jul 4), Deliberating Freedom of Expression in Singapore saw George speaking alongside film-maker Ken Kwek, and blogger Alex Au in a panel organised by the Singapore Advocacy Awards. The underlying message of the discussion was clear: restrictions on freedom of expression used as short-term solutions undermine long-term political, social and cultural gains.
"The irresponsible exercise of freedom of expression can be harmful," George continued, "but these dangers pale in comparison to the miseries caused throughout history by the powerful silencing free speech."
"Freedom of expression is about giving all (people) the right to be heard, not just giving ourselves the right to speak. It is about recognising the shared humanity of total strangers, including people who may have very different values and interests from us. It is in this respect, that I consider living with freedom of expression as a universal right to be a deeply selfless act of citizenship."
The discussion went on to address the issue of why free speech is often viewed with skepticism in Singaporean society, not just by authorities but by ordinary citizens.
"Freedom (of expression in Singapore) is often only seen as selfish and irresponsible," noted Au, who was convicted of contempt of court earlier this year for scandalising the judiciary in a blog post. "Unless we can unpack that problem, we're not going to make any effective progress. I think we really need to explore that. Because it's not just the people in power - why do we, as Singaporeans, consider freedom of expression as selfish and irresponsible?
"(Singaporeans) often continue to penalize things they don't want to hear. I think this stems from a deep sense of insecurity. And when we feel insecure, we want that security of rules, controls and bans to keep us going."
Have faith in public to handle free speech: Cherian George
This was echoed by Kwek, whose film Sex.Violence.FamilyValues, was banned for a short time in Singapore due to complaints about racial sensitivities. "My real concern as an artist in Singapore is about 'the guy next door'," he said. "The reason my film was banned is because somebody – a neighbour, an MP, whoever it may be – complained about it, which necessitated official action. While there are the occasional battles with the authorities on what you can-and-cannot say or show, what I find troubling is not (the actions) of those higher up on the aristocratic triangle, but from the guys at the bottom."
Comparisons were also drawn to the recent case of Amos Yee, a teenager who was convicted of wounding religious freedoms and distributing obscene content after posting a YouTube video and blog post after police reports were lodged by members of the public.
This, panel members insisted, is an issue which would need addressing, particularly at a time when the public's ability to communicate with a global audience has never been greater: "In the last 10 years obviously the world has changed; the country has changed," said Kwek. "There are a lot more voices now – a lot more different platforms to air views, such as the internet and social media."
The panelists conceded the case for free speech and expression will never be water-tight and the lines of acceptable levels of free speech are often blurred, such as in cases of hate speech or national security. "I'll readily admit that many people around the world use freedom of expression selfishly and irresponsibly," George summarised. "But I would request that we acknowledge that the same is true of any powers who curtail that freedom."
"When we transcend this primordial instinct and say that we are prepared to hear out those who seem alien and even offensive, that we won't automatically threaten to sue or lodge police reports against those who upset us, that we will try engagement and have faith in the public's ability to discern the better argument, there's nothing selfish about any of this; it is about taking responsibility for building a stronger society."

I'm baaacccckkkk!!! Sorry all for the long hiatus! I've been so busy with school, spring break, and (of course) baking that I've kinda neglected this blog. Sooooo…here's a mini update for you all:
1) Spring quarter is here! Winter quarter was no good–filled with laziness and a lot of complaining. But I am thankful for good friends and family and J to remind me that I need to study for God's glory and that I am blessed to receive and education. Soo…hopefully I can be more reminded of that this quarter.
2) Spring break was quite relaxing! I spent a few days in Pismo Beach and Santa Barbara with the family, just shopping, eating, and walking around. I also participated in a basketball tournament with my campus fellowship AACF! I scored half my team's points for one game! That makes me sound like a really good basketball player, doesn't it?! Well, I'm not. The truth is our team only scored four points, so that means I only got two points. But no one needs to know that part…right?! I spent the rest of the week baking…which leads to…
3) MACARONS! I started making macarons March 2012, and it's been one of my favorite things to bake lately! It can be difficult, but I find it pretty exciting–I love slamming the baking sheets on the floor (I did that once and my family thought I was mad. I wasn't!), I love watching the feet rise up when it's baking (The ruffly parts of the cookies, not human feet! I'm not creepy, I promise.), and I love seeing the results and making other people happy. These little suckers cost a fortune in bakeries/shops, at least $1.50! I've even seen some a little bigger than a quarter go for $2.50. Ridiculous. But…after making them over and over again, I can see why these puny little french cookies cost so much…the labor is exhausting! I've been practicing a lot so I've been getting faster at making these, but they still take a lot of work.
Recently people have been ordering from me, which is exciting because catering has been something on my mind this past year. It makes me happy to see that people will pay for something that I make! I've had five orders so far, and I have two more coming my way in a coupla weeks. I'm working on some new ideas (thanks Timothy Lee!), so once those are launched I'll be sure to blog about it.
Sorry there's no recipe/tutorial today! But I promise I'll get to it one of these days. But for now, I recommend you to look at Bravetart and Not so Humble Pie. Bravetart's recipe was the first recipe I turned to once I got my kitchen scale (which is essential for macaron making!). I've recently started using Not so Humble Pie's, but I recommend both sites. Both have information and instructions better than I can ever explain to you all, so check it out! I'll get around to a tutorial one of these days, but I think I still have a lot of work to do before I can get around to doing so. For now..here are some pictures to show what I've been up to! You can also find more on my Instagram!
Soli Deo Gloria, and happy reading, eating, and baking! (And Happy April Fool's Day! Play nice!!!!)
Macarons filled with a peach buttercream!
My watermelon macaron tower/pyramid! I topped the pink shells with black sesame seeds, and the bottom shells are green tea flavored. They're filled with nutella (mostly because I got lazy :p )!
This was my second order–purple macarons with green tea ganache. This was interesting because it was the first time I had ever made different-sized macarons. My friend Arianne took pictures of the macarons next to a ruler. The second one from the left is the normal 1.5 inch macarons I usually make. Cool, huh?!
This was basically the end of my spring break. I had three orders–30 green tea ganache, 24 different flavored (which I usually don't do, but she got lucky because I was baking for another big event), and 75 different flavored macarons for a bridal shower. It was hectic, but a lot of fun. A batch got messed up, but I was able to give those away to friends, and I dropped an entire tray of 31 macarons shells on the floor. Those could've made 15 whole macarons..so sad. Luckily I already had enough to fulfill the 75 macaron order. Oh, and the flavors are peach, lemon, and green tea! Hurray for Spring colors!
These were extra. It was something special that I wanted to do for the Wongs, who ordered the 75 macarons for Christi's bridal shower. I copied their save the dates (which is designed by my good friend at Pale Designs! She also designs a bunch of other things, so go check it out!) and drew it onto these 4.25 inch macarons with white chocolate and food coloring. It took a while, but I'm proud of my work. I still have a lot of learning to do though!
These were how my macarons were placed at the bridal shower. What do you guys think?? Let me know! I'd love to hear your comments!

It's quite simple to say: Antti Niemi in net = A chance for the Chicago Blackhawks to get a victory. With Cristobal Huet in net, the chances for a defeat are very high.
Since the beginning of last year, I have said that Cristobal Huet sucks ass. There were numerous people who have tried to argue with me that he is a good goalie. Some of the people who argued this with me I respect as fans. Others I think are fucking morons who have nothing else better to do than criticize every single thing I say. I basically throw out a decent argument and they shoot it down because they think they are "experts". Well those experts can suck my left nut.
I will remember that no matter what occurs in the playoffs, I know the Blackhawks will have a better chance to succeed with Antti Niemi in net than Cristobal Huet.
Good day.

What is Combination Skin Type-Dermatocare's beauty tips
Written By Dr Surbhi, MD SkinLast updated: 03/10/18
Written By Dr Surbhi, MD SkinLast updated: 03/10/18
If you are not sure what is your skin type is, then you probably have combination skin type. Do you know why? Because Combination skin has varied oil secretion patterns over the face, like:
If you fall in any of the above category, the mantra to skin care is balancing oil sections so that your skin neither feels oily nor dry, also termed as normal skin type. Normal skin type is the result of the right kind of skin care regime; rarely people are blessed with just the right kind of oil secretions on their skin.
You might experience drastic changes in your skin with the change in weather:
Please take our questionnaire to get tips, home remedies, and product recommendations ustomized according to the needs of your skin.
As practical it is to plan a warm holiday destination in winters and cold ones in summers, as justified it will be for your skin because:
You can skip anti-wrinkle/skin lightening cream, scrubs, face pack etc. to keep the regime simple during holidays. Your major focus should be on sun protection. Do not forget to follow the skincare and diet tips recommended Dr Malavika Kohli, top cosmetic dermatologist of India in an interview with Dermatocare.
As skin ages especially post adolescence, oil secretions tend to decrease. Hence, teenage might be the toughest time, when oil secretion is at its peak and so are the pimples. Rarely, pimples and open pores will trouble an individual at a later age.
Disclaimer: Kindly note that the given description is of typical Combination skin type and you may or may not have all the features mentioned above.

Advent 2013–Week 1–WHY?
Advent is the season of expectant preparation for the coming of Jesus, God's one and only Son, into the world.
It is marked with candles and music and the reading of Scripture. Many families create an advent wreath with 4 candles. Frequently, three of the candles are purple and one is pink. Some will include a white candle in the center of the wreath, unlit until Christmas Eve.
The traditional themes of Advent are Hope, Peace, Joy, and Love. This year, we are going a different route. Our themes will center on four questions: WHY? WHEN? WHERE? and, HOW?
Each week, you will be invited to consider one of these four questions. The Sunday sermon will begin the discussion and the readings throughout the week will give you something to think about each day.
The readings will be posted on our Church website as well. So, you can follow along "on the road". My prayer for us this Advent is that we will grow in our relationship with God who loves us and has invited us to partner with him in getting his message out into the world where we live. God bless us all, this Advent season.

["On voters' plates: genetically engineered crops," page one, Aug. 11.] Herbicide resistance is one of the outcomes of the process. The result: pour on the Roundup (glyphosate), as it's not going to harm the modified, immune food crop. But how about the people who eat the poison and harvest the crop that has received higher levels of the herbicide? Not to mention the collateral damage to beneficial insects such as pollinator bees and birds. I want genetically engineered food to be labeled, and maybe shunned. Sharon Stroble, Seattle GMOs are trouble I fervently hope that Washington voters do some research on genetically modified organisms (GMOs) before they decide whether or not to label products containing them. GMO seeds that Monsanto has foisted upon farmers in other countries have produced disastrous results with terrible, long-term consequences, including soil sterilization and erosion, pollution of ground water, deforestation and the destruction of natural resources. This is serious, because the damage can be irreversible. Proponents of GMOs claim that independent science groups have found no evidence of ill health effects. That is false. More than 35 countries have adopted legislation either limiting the imports of GMOs, which has resulted in heavy loss of American export revenue, or requiring the labeling of food containing them, which we are now considering. These are not inconvenient truths we can just shrug off and ignore. I hope Washington voters will look carefully into the ramifications of the decision we will make in the fall.

Bethenny Frankel Responds to New Puerto Rico Report, Asks Fans for Help: "I Personally Saw" the Horror of Hurricane Maria
Bethenny Frankel's B Strong Disaster Relief org is on the ground delivering straight to Puerto Rico's people.
Bethenny Frankel is not at all stunned by the vast discrepancy between the government's official death toll count in Puerto Rico of 64 people after Hurricane Maria, versus a newly published Harvard study that puts it at closer to 4,645 people.
"I personally saw 100 people that were dying," The Real Housewives of New York City humanitarian told Craig Melvin in a candid interview on MSNBC.
Bethenny was one of the first to provide relief efforts to Puerto Rico (as well as U.S. Virgin Islands and other neighboring territories) on a massive scale, and with a partner in Miami, has continued to coordinate private planes to move large scale donations of supplies to the islands — "anything that a human might need," she explained, from cash to water to tampons.
"It's a skill set, and we have it down," she said, and asked her fans to consider contributing to her B Strong Disaster Relief efforts, which bring 100 percent of donations directly to the people who need it.
"If all of my fans gave just $5, we would be a lot further than we are now," she said, sharing that she has heard that some donations to other charities have not made it to the victims of the hurricane. And with a new hurricane season on the way, she wants to step up preventive efforts to minimize further damage from natural disasters.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Shares of Fannie Mae fell Tuesday evening after the mortgage lender said that it will cut its quarterly dividend to boost its capital in the wake of the subprime-mortgage crisis.
Fannie Mae FNM, +0.00% shares closed down 2.2% at $34.40 but finished off their lowest levels of the session. The company said that it will cut its dividend by 30% to 35 cents from 50 cents a share beginning in the first quarter of 2008. The company also announced that it will raise $7 billion by selling nonconvertible preferred stock in one or more offerings this month.
In addition, Fannie Mae said that housing and credit markets, including expected further declines in home prices, will hurt its financial condition and results of operations in 2008. See full story.
Late-traded shares of government-sponsored entity Freddie Mac FRE, -0.65% fell 0.9% to $32.15.
Elsewhere, Guess Inc. GES, +1.58% shares climbed 6.4% to $46.03 following the Los Angeles apparel maker's higher yearly profit forecast than expected.
Guess raised its fiscal 2008 earnings forecast to a range of $1.93 to $1.96 a share on revenue of $1.68 billion to $1.7 billion. Analysts polled by Thomson Financial currently expect earnings of $1.91 cents a share on sales of $1.65 billion.
Its 2009 forecast also came in above consensus estimates. Guess foresees earnings of $2.35 to $2.45 on revenue of $1.97 billion to $2.05 billion. Wall Street is looking for $2.29 a share on sales of $1.93 billion.
Guess' fiscal third-quarter net income rose to $58.3 million, or 62 cents a share, from $44 million or 48 cents a share last year. Revenue jumped 43% to $469.1 million from $328.8 million a year ago. Analysts expected earnings of 57 cents on revenue of $425 million.
But Chico's FAS Inc. CHS, +0.56% fell 7.9% to $10.40 in light volume after the women's-clothing retailer said that third-quarter profit fell from a year ago, hurt by weaker comparable-store sales and higher markdown rates.
Chico's net earnings came in at $23.5 million, or 13 cents a share, down from $42.1 million or 24 cents a share a year ago. Sales rose 3.4% to $416 million. Same-store sales for company-owned stores fell 13.7% compared with the same four-week period last year.

Multi-tier Racking systems are ideally suited for online retailers, clothing and archiving industries, offering high density storage of thousands of different SKU's. Furthermore with the implementation of a barcode labeling system, multi-tiers offer high speed picking.
Multi-tier racking systems are regularly favored over a multi-tier mezzanine as walkways can be incorporated within the racking system, opposed to a multi–tier mezzanine floors which requires the installation of further shelving onto each level, thus reducing initial expenditure.
Another advantage of installing a multi-tier racking system is to minimise point loads onto the concrete slab, opposed to a multi-tier mezzanine which often requires the need for expensive floor reinforcement (piling).
Due to pallet racking regulations it is mandatory to allow for pallet racking inspections at least once a year. At Teepee we use SEMA approved pallet racking inspectors to who carry out fully comprehensive inspections of all the storage solutions we provide.
Multi-Tier Racking Key Features
- High density storage system
- High speed picking
- Store 1000's of small products
- Requires building control approval

As a property owner, it is your responsibility to keep it beautiful or at least clean at all times. When there's an overgrowth of trees and vegetation in your area, then you must do something about it. Some issues can be solved by simply trimming, pruning, or removal of trees and plants. However, there are others that may require land clearing assistance.
Land clearing is a service offered to property owners. Its name is self-explanatory. This process involves clearing land. If there are trees that need to be removed, shrubs, plants, and other vegetation that have to be cleaned up, then land clearing assistance is necessary. These situations that call for land clearing are the following:
While there are plenty of companies including handymen who are more than willing to help you out with land clearing assistance, it is highly recommended to work with tree contractors. This is a service commonly offered by tree companies and they prove to be the industry's best in this kind of job. If you are wondering why you should call a tree contractor for land clearing, here are the reasons:
While some would think that they don't need tree contractors for a job like this as it would cost them extra, there are actually companies offering affordable land clearing assistance. You're in luck if you live in Daytona Beach, Port Orange, Ormond Beach, New Smyrna Beach, and surrounding communities. Aardvark Tree Service is ready to help you out. Just give us a call at 386-233-5069 for a free estimate.

The biggest mistake the fitness industry makes when it comes to female fat loss is prescribing too much cardiovascular exercise which can actually reduce fat burning capacity! At Embody we take a different, and much more scientific, approach to female fat loss by structuring programmes so that metabolism is increased in the days following each session and, long term, metabolism is greater even at rest!
Her satisfaction comes from her clients achieving their goals; whether that be weight loss, improving self-confidence or overall sense of well-being. Jinan is passionate about helping clients live a healthier life and is a qualified personal trainer working with ethnic minority communities. She is a regular member of the gym and is currently training to compete in Olympic lifting later this year!
Have you lost the weight, but still haven't regained your ideal shape or figure due to remaining skin and pockets of superficial fat? Residents of greater Lexington and Georgetown, as well as the surrounding communities of Kentucky, count on Commonwealth Plastic Surgery for post-weight loss contouring. Contact us today to set up your post-weight loss contouring consultation!
Group therapy takes many forms. The groups are variously referred to (often interchangeably) as London counseling groups, London support groups, London mutual support groups or peer support groups, self help groups, stress coping groups, workshops and mental health groups. They are moderated by a professional group counselor, group therapist or group psychologist and generally focus on a specific issue or client profile (e.g. men or women etc).
Jinan (BSc, MSc) is a Registered Nutritionist (AfN) and a member of the Association for Obesity. She incorporates her knowledge to enable clients to achieve the best possible results, using years of food-industry experience to listen to her clients and work with them to devise a meal plan that works for them. Jinan is a firm believer of a specialised tailored approach to every individual. After all, each lock needs a different key!

Monitoring of your results will be performed using the InBody Analyzer and serial measurements.

Children can take part in weight-loss programs, but child-centered programs are more difficult to find. The nutritional and psychological needs of children are different from adults, so talk to your child's pediatrician before enrolling him or her in a formal weight-control program. Online sites and smart-phone apps are also available to help children lose weight in a healthy manner and can help protect the relationship between parents and children.

If you're looking for help with weight loss in London or for a London weight loss support group these professionals provide help understanding weight loss or weight loss counseling in London and weight loss advice. They can refer you to weight loss clinics in London or near London, weight loss psychologists in London, weight loss support groups and weight loss counselors.
You will not necessarily burn more fat using a 'fat burn' program on the treadmill which keeps you in an intensity of 50 – 60% of your max heart rate. There is evidence to show that exercising at a light to moderate range burns more fat than strenuous exercise as the body has greater access to use fat as a fuel during these lower intensities. As you can see in the table below, a percentage of fat is used during all intensities of exercise, but at different rates. Because the rate of fat use is slow during light to moderate exercise, it is important to increase the duration of your exercise session – minimum of 30 minutes progressing to 60 minutes.
Medi Weightloss clinics are located around the country and help dieters to slim down with food plans, counseling, and medication. The physician-monitored program is popular among customers who are comfortable with a structured program and are ready to make significant changes to their diet to lose weight. But not everyone can stick to the plan long enough for weight loss to occur.
He feels weight management is the core driver in the management for all modern illnesses. Weight management is complex as the reason for weight gain is multifactorial. Successful weight loss can only be achieved after ascertaining the underlying reasons for weight gain and providing a structured, personalised plan. Providing a personalised plan to 30% of the population, who are obese with the current available models is not possible and unrealistic.
Among the services on offer are hair extensions, dermabrasion, microneedling, microblading and body hair bleaching, all of which are carefully administered by a team of highly trained specialists. Don't hesitate to ask if you need advice or a second opinion about your treatment, as the staff here are always more than happy to help. We also offer free customer parking on site.

When you're young, you think you know everything. Or, maybe that's just me. I started my teaching career confident that my college had prepared me for anything that could be thrown at me.

Mindset is Everything
In a previous post, I mentioned that we know grades on papers decrease students' motivation. I've seen it in my room and I'm confident other teachers will agree that once a grade is on a piece of student work, the likelihood that the student will actually look at their mistakes and fix/improve their work is minimal...

Teachers are getting pumped up about teaching their students mindfulness in their classes. There is hype! That, alone, is great news because more kids will receive this beautiful skill set.

Students must have self-awareness
During the #IMMOOC episode 4 chat, Patrick Larkin brought up something that has been at the forefront of my mind since starting this school year: students need to have more self-awareness than they currently have if they plan to be a successful, contributing member of society. We are training students to be less self-aware The school system our... Continue Reading →
To change, we have to ask ourselves, "WHY do we do this?"
Okay, a lot was digested that first year. However, there is something that took over a decade for me to realize and finally change: my behavior management plan.

Charlie Oen's battle with addiction started when he was 16 and his family moved to Lima, Ohio. It was the last stop in a string of moves his military family made — from Panama to North Carolina, Kentucky, Texas and Germany.
"I went toward a bad group because those were the people that accepted me," he says. Drugs became a substitute for real friendships.
He started drinking, popping pills, cooking meth and shooting heroin. He was homeless for a while when his parents kicked him out of the house. "I would just be wandering the streets of Lima at all hours of the night until I found somewhere, chilled, sat down, fell asleep in an alley," he says.
By age 19, Charlie was serving a three-year sentence in prison on a burglary charge. That's where he stopped using drugs. He spent the last five months of his sentence in a community-based correctional facility where he took classes and completed group work to learn about addiction. The lessons stuck.
"I started telling people, 'I want to be a probation officer,' and everybody knocked it," he says. "They were like, 'You can't do that, you're a felon.' I said, 'Check it out, I'm going to do something.' "
One year later, he started working as a peer recovery coach, using his own experiences to help other people stay in recovery.
Charlie is one of five peer recovery coaches at Coleman Professional Services in Lima, and at age 25, he is by far the youngest. Each coach works with about 20 clients to help remove some of the impediments, big and small, to living a drug-free life. Some clients may need help learning to socialize without drugs or getting a ride to their recovery meetings. Others, like 52-year-old Anna Hershey, need more constant support.
"I texted you last night. I know it was late but I needed someone to talk to right away," she tells Charlie when they meet in Coleman's parking lot the week before Thanksgiving. She'd argued with her boyfriend the night before, and anger is usually a trigger for her drug use. Charlie is her first recovery coach in over 30 years of addiction.
"I'm proud of myself because I didn't leave the house and go do the drugs, and that's what I usually do when I get frustrated," she tells him.
Over the course of their 90-minute appointment, Charlie takes Anna to two food banks to pick up donated groceries, and then to check on her application to ring a bell for the Salvation Army this winter. It's been approved, and despite the previous night's quarrel, she's excited to share that news with her boyfriend when Charlie drops her off at home.
Some days Charlie meets with as many as five clients. Today it's just two: Anna and Shelly Cavinder.
"It's not been a great day," Shelly tells Charlie as she gets in his car. She was written up twice in the morning at the women's shelter where she's living, which puts her on thin ice for the final two weeks of her stay. She's moving into a new apartment and bought furniture in anticipation — but the unit where she's storing the furniture got infested with cockroaches, and today, Charlie is helping her throw it all away.
Shelly is 50. She's been using drugs since before Charlie was born. Still, she calls him her lifesaver. "If I didn't have Charlie, I would probably be back on drugs and dead," she says. "He even talks to me on his days off, you know, after hours when I have an issue."
"I appreciate that Shelly," Charlie says. She smiles and pats his leg.
"You're welcome," she replies.
The little pick-me-ups and attagirls Charlie gives Shelly every day go a long way to keeping her from becoming a statistic. There were 52,000 drug overdose deaths in the United States in 2015, 18 of them in this small Ohio county alone. Addiction is a tough disease to beat and relapse rates are high.
It can be easy to forget sometimes that Charlie has his own history with addiction, one he still deals with to this day. His first job out of prison was making salads at the Texas Roadhouse. He left the job when he was hired as a peer recovery coach two years ago.
He wants to continue working in the recovery field and plans on going to school to get a social work degree. But last year he started working three nights a week again at the Texas Roadhouse to help pay off his court fees, something he has to do before he can start taking classes. He's got $2,900 to go, down from $10,000. "This is what I do to get the judicial system off my back," he says.
After everything is paid off, he says he'll keep working two jobs for a while, "to build the bank back up a little."
Every day he makes a point to do something for himself — he's in recovery, too, so focusing on self-care can be just as important as caring for his clients. Lately he's been playing soccer at a park near his house, sometimes with friends, other times alone. "Early in the morning there'll be no cars driving," he says. "All you hear is your feet and the grass and the ball flying through the sky. It feels good."
Charlie is five years clean, three years out of prison and has spent more than two years as a peer recovery coach. He has a lot of life to live. But, he says, "When people ask, 'Where do you see yourself in five years?' I've never had an answer. Because three years ago I didn't think I'd be having this interview today."
"So just as long as I continuously do what I've got to do and stay positive, stay out of the way and continue to want to strive, something will come my way. The doors will open."

We're going to meet a coach now not for athletes but for people trying to stop using drugs. Charlie Oen is a peer-recovery coach in Lima, Ohio. Like many sports coaches, he draws on personal experiences to guide others down the same path. Bram Sable-Smith of member station KBIA spent today with him.
BRAM SABLE-SMITH, BYLINE: If you were writing Charlie Oen's life story, you might say it's been grim. But he won't.
CHARLIE OEN: If it was to be written, I guess it'd be an uplifting tale from a comedic point of view with tones of seriousness.
SABLE-SMITH: Here are the tones of seriousness. Charlie fell in with the wrong crowd when he was 16. He started drinking, popping pills, cooking meth, shooting heroin. He was homeless for a while when his parents kicked him out of the house. By 19, he was serving a three-year sentence in prison, where drugs were still available.
OEN: They're like, dude, do you want these morphines? Do you want this bit of heroin because everything was in there. And that's when I was, like, damn. I do, you know? And that's when I started to be like, I got to do something. I'm here for doing this. And I'm having these thoughts while I'm here. And I didn't want to let anybody else down, including, like, myself.
SABLE-SMITH: Now Charlie is three years out of prison and five years clean. For his clients, like 52-year-old Anna Hershey, his own experience kicking the habit makes a difference.
ANNA HERSHEY: It helps to have someone that's been there, you know, that's done some of the drugs that I've done.
SABLE-SMITH: Why?
HERSHEY: Because they know where you're coming from. And other people don't.
SABLE-SMITH: Anna has struggled with addiction for over 30 years. Charlie is her first peer supporter. Today he's driving her to a food pantry. It's less than a week away from Thanksgiving, so there's a chance there might be a turkey. But they're not optimistic.
HERSHEY: Look at that line. It's freaking out in the street. Oh, my God. It's way down here.
OEN: Yeah.
HERSHEY: I don't know. I don't know if I'm going to get any food out here.
OEN: I don't, either.
HERSHEY: I don't think so.
OEN: That woman was sleeping in her car. So, like, she's been there for a while.
SABLE-SMITH: Charlie's been working with Anna for about a year now. He helps take away some of the small impediments to living a drug-free life. He takes her shopping, helps her stay on top of her bills, apply for housing. And all the while, he's just there for her.
HERSHEY: Last night, I let him know that something was going on and stuff. But I'm proud of myself because I didn't leave my house and go do the drugs. And that's what I usually do when I get frustrated.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: We have to shut it down for today, buddy.
OEN: All right.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: All right. Y'all be good. Take it easy.
OEN: Thank you.
HERSHEY: Thank you.
UNIDENTIFIED MAN: Uh-huh.
SABLE-SMITH: They're turned away. But later in the day, Charlie takes Anna to a second food pantry, then to check on her job application to ring a bell for the Salvation Army. Up until now, Charlie's peer-coaching job has been paid for with grants. But starting July 1, Medicaid will cover this kind of work in Ohio, just like a counselor or social worker. He'll still see the same 20 clients he does now. Today he meets with two, Anna and Shelly Cavinder.
OEN: What's up, Shelly? Give me one second - just getting paperwork together.
SABLE-SMITH: At age 50, Shelly is twice Charlie's age. She struggled with opioid addiction since before he was born. She calls him her lifesaver. They talk most days. He takes her to doctor's appointments and to get her daily meds.
SHELLY CAVINDER: If I didn't have Charlie, I would probably be back on drugs and dead. I would be done. I mean, he even talks to me on his days off when I have an issue.
OEN: I appreciate that, Shelly.
CAVINDER: You're welcome.
SABLE-SMITH: The little pick-me-ups and atta-girls (ph) Charlie gives Shelly every day go a long way to keeping her from becoming a statistic. There were 52,000 drug-overdose deaths in 2015, 18 of them in this small Ohio county alone. When her mother died earlier this year, Shelly credits Charlie with helping her cope without drugs.
CAVINDER: He came to my mom's funeral, checked on me every day. And I still have it rough.
OEN: Some days are worse than others.
CAVINDER: And it's really hard on me right now with...
OEN: The season.
CAVINDER: ...The holidays.
SABLE-SMITH: It can be easy to forget that Charlie's also in recovery. He's got to take care of himself, too. He wants to be a social worker someday.
OEN: You know, at this point, I wanted to go to school. You know, I wanted to start evolving in this field that I'm in.
SABLE-SMITH: And that can only happen when he finishes paying his court fees. He's got $2,900 to go, down from 10,000. His peer-support job doesn't pay enough to cover that comfortably. So three nights a week, he picks up shifts at the Texas Roadhouse.
OEN: I'm a little salty about, you know, like, my time and money just going straight to court still, which - I mean, I know it's my fault. But cut a break, you know?
SABLE-SMITH: Sometimes, after a long day like this, he meets up with friends to unwind - but not today.
OEN: My friends wanted to play today. But I just want to shoot around by myself today. I don't feel like dealing with people. Sometimes, I don't, you know?
SABLE-SMITH: So he drives to the park near his house to kick a soccer ball alone as the sun sets.
SABLE-SMITH: For NPR News, I'm Bram Sable-Smith in Lima, Ohio.

Photographer's Note
Departing from London for a while, I'm eager to show you my new flea market series, taken on BW film. I shot these frames on my birthday (September 1): I wake up early to start celebrating my birthday with a photos session before the family program.
Do you remember this photo of Teddy having a rest after a hard day at the flea market?https://www.trekearth.com/gallery/Europe/Hungary/East/Borsod-Abauj-Zemplen//photo1565201.htm
Teddy, who used to sell his paintings on the flea market proved to be untalented in painting and in being a business man, now uses alcohol to escape from his problems. It was around 7 am and he was already drinking! Poor chap! - I know that the teddies are not the same, but I was tempted to make up a story. :)

Hello Gy,
he realy deserves his drink and a sit on a fence after such a tyring event.
Thanks and regards,
holmertz (83366) 2019-10-14 10:49
Hello György,
Looking closely at Teddy's face I think I detect some embarrassment, maybe even shame, at being caught with having a beer so early in the morning. No wonder nobody wants to make business with an alcoholic bear. It's only thanks to the B&W that we can't see his blushing face. Fortunately the photographer was sober enough to take a sharp picture.
Best regards,

Hi Gy
for some reason, and I can't figure it out, this one makes my chuckle, and the WS made me laugh. They are quite funny scenes, I guess because the Teddy almost looks real??? whatever it may be, its a fun break in the day for us viewers :)
jhm (191415) 2019-10-15 5:56

Hello Gyorgy,
Poor teddy. Life is tough, and he's lost his way. I like that you wrote a little story for him, but I hope that in the next photo teddy will be happier. :-) Thanks for the fun capture. The focus and presentation are great.

Hello Guy
Good picture and a good story.
Despite the early beer and the lack of a healthy colour, Teddy looks better here than when Have a good evening, groet Rob was selling paintings. Are you sure that this can of beer was not a gift for your birthday?
Excellent presentation
Have a nice day, groet Rob

Lovely & cute shot from the Flea Market, Gy. That's another nice one. Cheers & thanks.

Hi Gyorgy
Oh poor alcoholic Teddy loves his photo taken with beer can instead of some honey and berries under his nose! I think he seems ready for a long vacation....
This is so cute and I love the outcome without clutter and effective use of shallow dof. Spot on capture, Congrats
Best regards
