Many of the photos you will find on this website were taken during my 2017 artist residency at the Bloedel Reserve on the northern tip of Bainbridge Island. For those unfamiliar with this spot of heaven, it is a 25-minute ferry ride west of Seattle. If you have not yet discovered this nature refuge, add it to the top of your list.
I was quite lucky to be their resident artist for the month of March, an enchanting time when the fronds are cut back in the moss garden and the reserve is readied for a burst of spring activity.
My gracious hosts at the Bloedel Reserve housed me in their beautiful guest lodge built of cedar, stone, and glass. It is nestled in the tall woods beside a deer-cropped meadow. Early morning hours ushered in sunrises that I could watch from the guest house…
…or meet at the water's edge.
Seeing the horizontal rays of dawn light filtering through the cedars was breathtaking. Each day I would walk for 2-6 hours through this Disneyland of nature.
Resting at the edge of the Japanese reflecting pool, I could allow my subconscious to lead the dance of ideas as I prepared unknowingly for my next art series…
As you have been transported back with me to those wet, cool March days, come join me now as I prepare that next body of work: using art to reduce the stigma surrounding substance abuse.

ITC Utilization
- 1. About Input Tax Credit
- 2. Input Tax Scheme Equation
- 3. Input Tax Credit relationship / restrictions
- 4. ITC utilization as per GST ITC rules
- 5. Can IGST credit be used for SGST?
1. About Input Tax Credit
Input Tax Credit can be said to be one of the key elements of the entire Goods and Service Tax (GST) framework with one of the major USPs i.e. flawless flow of credits in the entire GST chain.
The present indirect taxation system suffers with cascading tax effect due to non-availability of credit at various points in the supply chain. However, under the GST regime, credit of GST is expected to be available at every stage in the entire supply chain.
2. Input Tax Scheme Equation
3. Input Tax Credit relationship / restrictions
To know about ITC utilization, it becomes important to first know that Input tax credit operates on which supplies and how it derives it relationship from each of these under GST. And it also becomes necessary to know the restrictions that operates on ITC utilization to avoid penalties under GST law on misuse of input tax credit.
- Relationship:
- Restrictions on ITC utilization:
As per GST ITC rules, ITC utilization on purchase of Motor Vehicles and other conveyance except when they are purchased and used for
- Transportation of goods, or
- making the following taxable services: Used for
- Further supply of such vehicles/ conveyances, or
- Transportation of passengers, or
- To conduct training for driving/ flying/ navigating such vehicles/ conveyances
- Transportation of goods
- Any supply of goods and services being the ones mentioned below, the ITC utilization is restricted in these cases as well which are:
- Government notified services of obligatory nature for employer to employees such as
- Renting of cab for employees
- Life/health insurance scheme for employees
- No credit shall be allowed for the following services:
- Membership of club
- Health and Fitness Centre
- Travel Benefits to employees
- Works Contract (other than plant & machinery)
- Construction of Immovable Property (other than plant & machinery)
- Where GST being paid under composition scheme
- Goods or services or both received by a non-resident taxable person except on goods imported by him;
- Goods lost or stolen/ written off/ disposed off by way of gift or free samples;
- Tax paid after adjudication where there involves fraud etc (Detention and Fraud Cases).
The ITC utilization except for the above cases in respect of Capital Goods such as Motor Vehicles and other conveyance is restricted under GST.
|Inputs on goods
|Inputs on Services availed
|a. Food and beverages
b. Outdoor Catering
c. Beauty Treatment
d. Health Services
e. Cosmetic and Plastic Surgery
4. ITC utilization as per GST ITC rules
We know that Input Tax credit system under GST is a stream that carries Credit flows from supplier to recipient to be used in setting of the liability in the GST returns and it extends to inter-state supplies as well.
GST ITC rule 49 speaks about order in which these credits be used. It also delineates the situations where in the credits are restricted to be utilized within the house of group. This could be well understood from the following table.
|House name: Closed Group / Not available for set off (in house)
House members:
|House name: Open Group/ Available for cross utilization.
House members:
5. Can IGST credit be used for SGST?
From the reading of the table above it is clear that IGST credit balance if any can be used to set off SGST liability. But it is important to note here that any IGST balance which is topped up by paying into cash ledger will be available only for such top up made.
Let us suppose that IGST balance is updated by paying into cash ledger then such balance could be only used to settle IGST liability and not CGST or SGST. In these cases, if the assessee pays wrongly by debiting wring ledgers then the only solution available is to Claim the refund amount by making an application in appropriate form on the common portal.

So there's an NBA referee who was betting on basketball. Allegedly, of course.
And I know who it is. Or at least I know the name of who it is rumored to be among NBA circles. Am I going to put the name out there? Not on your life. (Or my life.) Because if I'm wrong about this one I'm throwing a guy's integrity under the bus, and I don't want to do that.
But here's what I can tell you: It's a guy who's name probably won't ring any bells unless you're a hardcore NBA fan, and even then you still might not know the guy. When I heard the name it took me a few seconds to remember what he looks like, and I know all of the NBA refs. (By the way, it's not Bob Delaney.) There is also a photo of a current NBA superstar I could run which would be a huge tipoff to this ref's identity. But I'm not going to do that.
The NBA is taking this seriously — apparently David Stern himself just sent out an email reminding team execs and front office types that the FBI has asked the NBA not to comment at all on this. Go dark, Stern is saying.
Can't wait to hear what Mark Cuban has to say about all this…

The breast cancer clinic at Yonsei Cancer Center succeeded in mastectomy and breast reconstruction with robotic surgery for the first time in Korea.
Kim Myung-soon (the false name), a patient diagnosed with breast cancer, who underwent mastectomy from the Prof. Park Hyung-seok team at breast surgery and reconstruction surgery from Prof. Lee Dong-won at plastic surgery on 23rd November last year.
|Prof. Park Hyung-seok team at breast surgery and reconstruction surgery and Prof. Lee Dong-won at plastic surgery.
Doctors from breast surgery at Breast Cancer Clinic and plastic surgery have prepared for robotic surgery with cadavers and animals since late 2013 to increase satisfaction for patient treatment.
The robotic surgery conducted by the team of Prof. Park Hyung-seok and Prof. Lee Dong-won consists of mastectomy that preserves nipple and areola and remains 6cm cut under the arm and axillary lymph node dissection and reconstruction surgery at the same time.
Scar is small after surgery and rarely seen because it is located in under the arm. Prof. Park said "in case of the existing dissection method or endoscopic operation, there was limit to secure vision and use surgical instruments through a small window. But when we used robot, it was easy to conduct surgery with extended vision without tremor."
Prof. Park said "if patients with breast cancer at an early stage have to undergo mastectomy because of cancer location and broad microcalcification, I recommend them to undergo robotic surgery. The surgery is good in terms of both breast reconstruction and the least risk of scar as well as the best effect in beauty."
He added "it can be effective to patients who want to undergo mastectomy as a preventive measure because they have BRCA1,2 gene mutations that increase the risk of breast cancer."
An Italian medical team conducted mastectomy with robot and simultaneous breast reconstruction in 2015 for the first time in the world.

On Wednesdays' episode of Grey's Anatomy (Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET/MT on CTV), two doctors break their medical oaths in moves that could cost them their jobs. One does it to save a patient, the other does it because she's terrible at keeping a secret. We can only support one person this week and that's Alex. Sorry Maggie. You're a blab.
Alex comes in way under the date we picked for him to do something against the rules that will cost him his job as (interim) chief. He even went above and beyond our prediction and did something illegal. Normally, we'd shake our heads and list the reasons why Alex can't be redeemed, but in this case, we think he did the right thing. It was highly illegal, but it was for a good cause.
The medical system in the U.S. is, in a word, sucky, so when a patient came in with smoke inhalation and a preexisting Blob (apparently an actual medical term), he tried to leave, knowing his mother couldn't afford the surgery. His insurance didn't cover the procedure, so Alex made a small incision on the patients back, enabling him to list the surgery as an emergency and fix the Blob. New resident Dahlia ran directly to Richard to report Alex, a move that would have made sense five seasons ago when Richard was still the chief. But in Season 15, she's just tattling on the boss.
Richard, aka the guy who used to operate on patients while drunk and still has a job, threatened to report Alex to the Ethics Board. We thought being the chief, or just being a doctor, meant you were supposed to save people. Oh lawd, do we have to be Team Karev from now on?
As for Maggie, her HIPAA violation wasn't done to save a patient, but to save her guilty conscious. Instead of focusing on Jackson ghosting her or her patient who had a heart attack at 40 and died (can we get a history on that woman so we know whether we actually need to switch from butter to margarine?), she's focused on Teddy Altman's pregnancy. She wants to warn Amelia, who is finally happy for the first time in her life, but instead of doing that, Maggie violates the patient-doctor confidentiality by telling Meredith. If you're going to do the one thing you shouldn't do, then at least tell the person it affects. Maggie, that was not helpful.
Now for this week's relationship rundown. Maggie got hit on by firefighter Dean thanks to another unnecessary Station 19 crossover. Not a single scene featuring a firefighter, including Warren, was needed on Wednesday's episode.
Meredith went on a date, which we know because she wore one extra application of mascara. Really, if everyone at the hospital is going to freak out over the always-hot Meredith, at least put her in a dress to make her look different. Unfortunately, the blind date with a software developer (Josh Radnor) took a turn for the worst when he called single moms 'clingy,' so there likely won't be any How I Met My Single Mother storylines coming up.
As for Jo, she was the only female physician left at Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital who hadn't run into, and subsequently been asked on a date by, Link. It turns out that the two knew one another when she was Brooke and it appears they were friendly. Very. Friendly. We're sure this won't cause any stress for Alex. How many abs are we guessing Link has? The standard 'hot guy six' or the overachieving eight?
Watch Grey's Anatomy every Wednesday at 9 p.m. ET/MT on CTV.

The Partner Project, originally piloted in the Zambian context in 1999, is an evidence- based behavioral intervention designed to reduce risk of HIV/STD transmission and re- infection among Zambian HIV sero-concordant (positive) and discordant men and women by increasing sexual barrier knowledge, acceptability and use of sexual barrier products. The successful findings from this study over the last 8 years have stimulated the design of this """"""""translation"""""""" proposal to utilize experienced UTH-based health care and counseling staff group leaders and co-leaders to disseminate, train, supervise and provide follow-up support in the adoption and implementation of this program at the community level. This proposal utilizes a staged technology transfer process from pre- implementation to implementation, maintenance and dissemination. We propose to translate and evaluate the intervention at the individual (patient) and institutional (CHC) levels in six CHCs in Lusaka. Individual outcomes will include psychosocial and biological endpoints, including health and risk behaviors, as well as participation rates among eligible individuals in the target CHCs. Institutional outcomes will include the participation rate of eligible CHCs, the fidelity and consistency of delivery of the intervention across settings, and the institutional maintenance (""""""""institutionalization"""""""") of the program over the five-year duration of the study. Recruiting 240 HIV+ seroconcordant and serodiscordant couples, the proposed research program will assess the effect of the intervention on the level of high risk sexual behaviors among couples in six CHC clinics. The proposed study will test whether the fidelity of the program can be maintained by health care staff in community settings to achieve participant outcomes comparable to those obtained at the UTH site, as well as whether program participants in Partner Project clinics will demonstrate improved outcomes in sexual risk reduction, as compared to the standard of care (Control - VCT counseling) clinics. It will also identify the organizational variables which may facilitate or inhibit the adoption, implementation and maintenance of this program over time. Results of the study will be disseminated within the Zambian community and internationally, and used to inform and enhance the existing standard of care in Community Health Clinics in Zambia. ? ?
The proposed study will test whether health care staff in community settings will achieve participant outcomes comparable to those obtained by hospital clients and staff, as well as whether program participants in Partner Project (Experimental) clinics will demonstrate improved outcomes in comparison with participants in """"""""standard of care"""""""" (Control) clinics. ? ? ?

The weather may be gross, but it has nothing on KU! We'll set you up so sweet for Valentine's day that you'll literally be in a sugar coma until March! Don't get all hung up on V-day, though! There's plenty of other great stuff happening this month! Click READ MORE to find out what's going on!
February is Library Lover's Month! If you're reading this blog, I think I can safely assume that you know how much we love books here. It might be a little creepy but don't worry about it. It should go without saying, then, that we love libraries. (I'm gonna say it anyway, though.) Take some time during this month to find out how you can help out at your local library! Reading is more important than I can accurately say. (Locals, click here for the Carnegie Library home page.)
February is also Marijuana Awareness Month! In some circles, a time to remember the war on drugs in all its righteous glory. In others, a month to educate people about the virtues of a favorite plant. In all circles, a time to laugh at the irony of the phrase 'Marijuana Awareness.'
Finally, February is National Condom Month. Replace that unused Trojan in your wallet, boys. They don't last forever, you know. For real, though.
Important Dates in February:
1 - Bubble Gum Day AND Working Naked Day: Hopefully I don't need to tell you guys to be careful when celebrating these two days at the same time. Bubble gum can be unpredictable. Working naked invariably is. The two together? I'm not gonna say it's a recipe for disaster, but keep your head in the game.
2 - Groundhog Day AND Ice Cream for Breakfast Day: I'm a little confused. Ice cream is a well-established breakfast food, isn't it? That's like saying March 5th will henceforth be known as Waffles for Breakfast Day. Oh well. May as well celebrate, right? Also, we'll find out how much more winter we'll have to put up with. "No shadow" on three!
3-9 - Children's Book Authors and Illustrators Week: Whether you like the other-worldly wonders of Sendak's Where the Wild Things Are, the poignant simplicity of Muth's Stone Soup, the beloved rhymes of Dr. Seuss, or something else altogether, our children's section is full of wonderful books and everyone on staff is passionate about at least one of them.
3 - Superbowl: Honestly, as a Steelers fan, I'm not sure which of these teams I want to lose more. On one hand, I have a deep-seated revulsion toward anything that might make a Raven or Ravens fan happy, but on the other, I don't want the 49ers to tie us in Superbowl wins, so... Rock and a hard place, there.
4-8 - Intimate Apparel Week: Remember, black and lacy may be fun, but don't hate on classic white cotton. That's where it's at. Don't worry, we'll definitely revisit this. Might even have a rap battle about it, or something.
9 - Read in the Bathtub Day: Relaxation is really important. What's more relaxing than a nice, long bath? Oh, that's right, it's settling in with a good book. Let's all do both of those things today.
10 - Chinese New Year: The most important observance of the Traditional Chinese calendar, the lunar New Year marks the end of the winter season and a more than two week long celebration of new beginnings. Celebrants traditionally "reconcile, forget all grudges, and sincerely wish peace and happiness for everyone."
11-12 - Westminster Dog Show: If you've ever been to the store, I'm sure you know that we love dogs. Like a lot. At any given time there are likely to be five or six people fawning over any dog that's there. And all of them will be employees.
12 - Darwin Day AND Mardi Gras AND Paul Bunyan Day: Triple. Threat. I'm trying to imagine some incredibly weird fusion of these three things and it's awesome. A giant, axe-wielding guy dressed up in green, purple, and gold sequins with a genetically engineered blue ox is what I'm coming up with. I like it.
14 - St. Valentine's Day AND Ferris Wheel Day: Ferris wheels are definitely the most underrated amusement park ride. That view always seems to be spectacular. Unless you don't like heights. But then, why would you be on a Ferris Wheel in the first place? Also Valentine's day. Don't forget the card! We have great ones.
15 - National Gum Drop Day: I feel like a lot of people don't appreciate the sweet, sugar-coated deliciousness that is the gum drop. Sure, they may be old-fashioned, but that chewy nostalgia is always welcome with me.
18 - Presidents Day: During the coverage of Obama's recent inauguration, I heard something really impressive about the United States. This country has the longest stretch of peaceful change of leadership in recent history. We might not do everything right, but we have good roots at least. Remember not only our founding fathers, but every President of this great nation.
22-24 - Texas Cowboy Poetry Days: I know. At first I had the exact same reaction you're having now. The more I thought about it, though, the more I decided that it's a legitimate oral tradition. Also, who doesn't want to star in his own Western? I emphatically do want that. Emphatically.
22 - National Margarita Day: I've never been one for tequila, but any day that celebrates a cocktail is a great day in my book.
23 - Curling is Cool Day AND Open That Bottle Night: You know how I said that I thought Fun at Work Day was started specifically for or by KU? I'm slowly becoming convinced that we have some sort of epic holiday quota that we have to fill with days like Curling is Cool Day and Open That Bottle Night. These are both great holidays so make sure you stay tuned for our extensive coverage of them later this month!
24 - Academy Awards: We pretend we're watching for the fashion and to appreciate who wins these extremely objective awards, but we all know that all we really want to see is James Franco stoned out of his mind again. Or whatever.
28 - National Chili Day AND Tooth Fairy Day: Wrapping up February in style, folks! Who doesn't love the Tex-Mex staples and adaptations of early European folklore?
February birthdays:
2 - Ayn Rand AND James Joyce (Can't decide if this is weird or not. They kind of go together, don't they? In an inexplicable way...)
4 - George Romero (props for the Father of Modern Horror Cinema.)
6 - Arthur Weasley (one of the better Weasleys. Then again, the better ones outnumber the others 7-2, so...)
7 - Laura Ingalls Wilder AND Charles Dickens (Not exactly a power couple, but still.)
13 - Brendan Sullivan (props to KU's Curmudgeon in Chief.)
17 - Joseph Gordon-Levitt (Joseph Dreamboat-Levitt, I think you mean.)
19 - Bruce Wayne (All in favor of Christopher Nolan making more Batman movies, say 'aye'!)
21 - Alan Rickman (Speaking of dreamboats. Can't do a German accent for shit, though.)
22 - Edward Gorey (One of our favorite illustrators. Here are some examples.)

Some businesses just make your heart feel warm in their very existence. Whether they're supporting causes by creating inclusive ads or donating to their communities, these businesses really set themselves apart. That's how Bespoke Confections, founded by Jiliana Dulaney, caught our attention. Jiliana founded a business that contributes to the community in more ways than one. Baking and inclusivity are clearly two of Jiliana's passions, so we decided to ask her to tell us a little more about how she turned her passions into a business.
What makes your company unique?
Bespoke Confections is a bakery that hires adults with autism. Bespoke is another word for custom – we provide one of a kind creations through our wholesale business model. The logo shows ensō – the incomplete circle means movement and development; something that we believe is important in the lives of our people. The flourish on the side is representative of wheat, the most important part of our business.
What are you company's values?
Our company values include: movement; development; innovation; structure – all of which are important when working with our people.
Why did you choose Logojoy?
I have some graphic design experience and have created several logos in the past and wanted something that was easy to use that would help me to easier develop my vision. The service was also very simple. I liked the basic aesthetic and options and really liked that it allowed me to receive the files quickly, as well as the inclusion of a vector file.

The Snap:
High fashion line Rodarte has joined forces with acclaimed director Todd Cole and The Creators Project to create "This Must Be Only Fantasy," a 13-minute film that dips between the everyday and, well, themes that could only be described as fantasy. The video is soundtracked by Beach House, who adds woozy instrumentals and sparse vocals to the ensemble. Elijah Wood stars as the king.
The Download:
It sort of feels like Beach House was made for this kind of stuff. They take center stage when they are in the background, accompanying sweeping vistas and surreal landscapes with their equally sweeping and surreal music. They are the type of band that basks in being a wallflower. I often get sort of bored listening to Beach House "as is," and find myself skipping over their songs when they pop up in iTunes. But when their music plays the role of the accompaniment (as it did with their film "Forever Still") the effect is exquisite.
The movie itself is weird. It follows the path of an LA teenager (played by Sidney Williams) who falls into a fantasy heroine role, finally meeting the throned prince (Elijah Wood) who sits amongst video games. Yeah, it's odd. But it's also captivating, and it's interesting to see how Beach House's music makes the film really stand out.
The Baltimore-based duo is known for being experimental, so it seems only natural that their music accompany films that are equally offbeat and obscure. If you're looking to climb outside your cubicle (at least mentally) for a few minutes today, I'd put on your headphones, sit back, and conquer the streets of LA with Beach House.
Take Action!

BP taking timeout for rig review at Liberty
According to an interview with BPs Alaska spokesman Steve Rinehart this morning, the company is going to suspend construction on the rig itself for a period of time.
Rinehart said the action was not a decision to stop the project but a decision to move ahead deliberately. Were going to take a timeout on the physical construction of the rig. We want to review some of the design and engineering elements of the rig, which is the first of its kind. There has never been a rig quite like this, and as we worked to assemble it, since off-loading it in the summer of 09
some design and engineering issues have arisen and we have decided the smartest and safest way to deal with those is to take a timeout on engineering and design.
The decision, he said, was not directly related to an earlier delay in drilling from late to 2011 to likely sometime in 2012, announced by BP in July in response to statements by federal and state agencies that they would seek an environmental and safety review of Liberty.
In referring to the July decision, Rinehart said BP still anticipates that there will be some state and federal regulatory changes.
it has been clear that regulatory agencies want to take a closer look, and were all for that. Were making time for that, he said, noting that situation was status quo.
BP does not yet have an estimated start date for drilling. Rinehart said its priority is to develop this project safely and carefully and were going to take the time to do that right. As work progresses well get a clearer idea of what our development schedule looks like.

Charred Corn Guacamole with Corn Chips
I love the smoky flavor and crunch that grilled corn gives to the buttery flavor and texture of avocado. This guacamole also goes well atop grilled fish and chicken. The corn in this recipe is
Charred Corn Guacamole with Corn Chips
actually grilled twiceonce to cook it through and secondly to get a nice char on the outside to add extra smoky flavor and great texture to the guacamole. See photograph on page 80.
Serves 4
4 ears Perfectly Grilled Corn (See Below)
4 tablespoons canola oil
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
3 ripe Hass avocados, peeled, pitted, and diced
1 serrano chile, finely diced
1 small red onion, finely diced
Juice of 1 lime
14 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
Blue, yellow, and white corn chips, for serving
1. Heat your grill to high.
2. Brush the ears of grilled corn with 2 tablespoons of the oil and season with salt and pepper. Grill the ears until they are lightly golden brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Remove the kernels from the cobs (See below).
3. Place the avocados in a medium bowl and mash slightly with a fork. Add the corn kernels, serrano, onion, lime juice, cilantro, the remaining 2 tablespoons oil, and salt and pepper to taste and gently stir to combine. Serve with corn chips for dipping.
Perfectly Grilled Corn
Serves 4
8 ears corn
Kosher salt
1)Heat your grill to medium.
2)Pull the outer husks down each ear to the stalk end. Strip away the silk from each ear of corn by hand. Fold the husks back into place and tie the ends together with kitchen string. Place the ears of corn in a large bowl of cold water with 1 tablespoon of salt for 10 minutes.
3)Remove the corn from the water and shake off the excess. Place the corn on the grill, close the cover, and grill for 15 to 20 minutes, turning every 5 minutes, or until the kernels are tender when pierced with a pairing knife.
4)Remove the husks from the cobs before eating the corn.
"Old Bay" Grilled Steak Fries
Old Bay is a spice blend originally used in the Chesapeake Bay area and made famous for its use in shrimp, crab, and other seafood dishes. It may be traditionally used in seafood dishes,
but I like to play with that notion a little bit and use it to spice up a side dish and these steak fries certainly fit the bill. While the actual recipe for Old Bay is a carefully guarded secret, this homemade spice mixture has all of those favorite flavors: celery, mustard, bay leaf, and ginger. Serve these with Grilled Lobster Rolls with LemonBlack Pepper Mayonnaise (page 135) or Perfectly Grilled Whole Lobsters (page 127).
Serves 4
1 tablespoon ground bay leaves
212 teaspoons celery salt
112 teaspoons dry mustard
1 teaspoon sweet Spanish paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
12 teaspoon ground white pepper
12 teaspoon ground nutmeg
12 teaspoon ground cloves
14 teaspoon ground allspice
14 teaspoon ground ginger
14 teaspoon crushed red chile flakes
14 teaspoon ground cardamom
6 Idaho potatoes, scrubbed
Kosher salt
12 cup canola oil
Chopped fresh chives, for garnish (optional)
Fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves, for garnish (optional)
1. Combine the bay, celery salt, mustard, paprika, black and white peppers, nutmeg, cloves, allspice, ginger, chile flakes, and cardamom in a small bowl.
2. Put the potatoes in a pot of salted cold water, and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer until the potatoes are tender, but still firm, about 10 minutes. Drain and let cool before cutting each potato lengthwise into 8 thick slices or spears.
3. Heat your grill to high.
4. Brush the potatoes with the oil and season with the spice rub. Grill until golden brown on both sides and cooked through, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve sprinkled with chives and parsley, if desired.

Jabari Greer's career with the New Orleans Saints was cut short last year by a major knee injury. He's still keeping close tabs on the team, and he has agreed to join me on occasion to share his thoughts on the Saints -- unless, of course, the right opportunity lures the veteran cornerback back onto the football field.
I broke down Greer's first installment into two parts this week. First, his thoughts on the New Orleans secondary:
On what he saw this summer from Champ Bailey, who was released Saturday: "He was really, really impressive on the play where Pierre Warren got the deep interception in the end zone in the last preseason game. The receiver ran something we call a post-corner-post -- they sell you on the post, then they run a double route to the corner. As a corner, you think that is the last route he's going to run, that's the one he's going to commit to. Then they run a third route, which is a post, and that's supposed to basically discombobulate you as a corner and open up those lanes. I saw Champ stay on the up-field and outside shoulder, not letting any of those moves that the receiver did deter him from staying in his technique. So I saw a guy that still had tremendous, tremendous technique. As a 16th-year player it's easy to rely on just your mental ability, knowing that you understand the game. But he consistently got up there and pressed the receiver, challenged the receiver and relied on his physical ability. That goes to show that he still has confidence, that he can play at a high level. I just believe that just the lack of reps and the emergence of Brian Dixon playing at a tremendous level led to a business decision."
On the choice of Patrick Robinson as the No. 2 cornerback: "He is probably one of the best athletes on the team. As far as his footwork, just as far as his potential -- he can be in the talk as one of the best cornerbacks in the league once he completes his game. But the mental aspect of overcoming adversity, trusting yourself and believing that you have everything it takes to be a dominant corner is the only question with Patrick Robinson. If he can play with the confidence of a Darrelle Revis, if he can play with the confidence of a Patrick Peterson, he can dominate. The Saints can have a tremendous duo with Keenan Lewis and Patrick Robinson. I knew he was going to win that battle, based on his health coming back from that [knee] injury."
On whether Robinson had a rough game in the preseason finale when the Ravens picked on him with short and mid-range passes, or whether he was allowing a cushion by design: "I've talked to P-Rob concerning this. As a corner, you have to play confident. And you have to play to your strengths. I believe that last preseason game, given what they've shown on film, Patrick Robinson understood they were a team that did a lot of double moves. So I believe he erred on the side of caution. As a corner, sometimes you have to understand that they are a team who likes to go for the deep ball. If he would've been extremely aggressive and broke up those five curls but given up two deep balls, we would be talking about how Patrick Robinson has lost a step, you know. I know that he was playing on the side of caution, given that it was the last preseason game. I know that going on Week 1, we will see a different Patrick Robinson, a more confident player."
On the Saints' secondary as a whole: "The secondary has tremendous talent. As talented as they've been in a very long time. But talent doesn't necessarily equal success. Communication and leadership and understanding each other's roles, working together with each other's strengths and safeties covering up the corners' weaknesses, that equals success. And that is yet to be determined. ... We didn't get to see Jairus Byrd in a lot of collective action that much with Kenny Vaccaro. But I think what we did see is tremendous closing speed. He understands the defense, communication. And we saw veteran leadership. Letting Champ Bailey go, they must think highly of Jairus Byrd's and Kenny Vaccaro's leadership. Because given the departure of the veteran leaders in the secondary, that was the big question coming into the season. So I'm interested in seeing who's taking that leadership position, how they're going to rally the troops and really how they're gonna communicate effectively."
On whether Lewis could fill that leadership role: "Keenan is in that conversation. Usually if it's a wash between the corners and the safeties as far as experience, the safeties -- being the quarterback of the defense -- are the de facto choice for leadership, because they are the ones that have to understand where the corners are going to be. And usually being a corner, you can be in your own world. You can honestly just concern yourself with what you have to do and be effective. So I definitely think that Keenan with his work ethic, with his desire to want to be the best, will lead by example. I know for a fact he'll be a leader. But that team needs that vocal leader. When times get tough, who is that person that is going to reassure you that the game plan is correct, that the work that you put in is gonna be enough to get you through that hump? Guys like myself, Malcolm Jenkins and Roman Harper, we were those type of guys. So that's the type of leadership that I'm interested in seeing."

Ribbon Flowers. There are many creative ways to sew beautiful fabric flowers for hair accessories.
I have featured a couple of these projects on my site. If you are interested, you can search for them using the key word "ribbon". Here is another nice DIY tutorial to show you how to make a satin ribbon hairband. It's so pretty that when I first saw it, I couldn't wait to make one for my daughter.

However, the ribbon roses my mom made for them could be used for a ton of other projects too! For bouquets, boutonnieres, on a dress sash, in your hair, grouped together to adorn pews… there are a lot of possibilities out there! A while ago I searched the Weddingbee blog for a tutorial on ribbon flowers, but could only find clay and fabric flowers, so I asked my mom to take step by step pictures of her making the flowers.
Here are the instructions: Cut the ribbon to desired length. Roll the ribbon five or six times and sew a few stitches to secure it. Fold the ribbon at about a 45 degree angle. Roll the ribbon along the fold until the fold disappears. Secure with a few stitches. Fold again at 45 degree angle. Roll again along the fold until the fold disappears. Continue folding and rolling to the end of the ribbon. The ribbon roses are now ready to decorate with! {Source} Ribbon Rose.

First, remove the wire from one edge of your ribbon. Next, turn under one raw end of the ribbon and tack it in place by hand with tiny stitches. Then, with your needle and thread, sew a loose running stitch along the edge from which you removed the wire.

In November 15-16, 2014, the Group of Twenty (G20) will meet at Brisbane, Australia, in a continuous effort to stabilize and reform the global financial architecture that remits to G8 initiative in the end of 1990s – 1999 – (to cope with Asian Financial Crisis) and, more recently, in 2008 (and the 2007-2008 financial crisis). Since then, G20 is a key element in what I call "G7/8 system" (Ramos, 2013) and, broadly speaking, is generally seen as a key element on global economic governance –despite the disagreements concerning its real accomplishments and results.
by Leonardo Ramos[i]
[i] Lecturer in the Department of International Relations at the PUC Minas and co-director of the Middle Power Research Group (http://potenciasmedias.com/).
In November 15-16, 2014, the Group of Twenty (G20) will meet at Brisbane, Australia, in a continuous effort to stabilize and reform the global financial architecture that remits to G8 initiative in the end of 1990s – 1999 – (to cope with Asian Financial Crisis) and, more recently, in 2008 (and the 2007-2008 financial crisis). Since then, G20 is a key element in what I call "G7/8 system" (Ramos, 2013) and, broadly speaking, is generally seen as a key element on global economic governance –despite the disagreements concerning its real accomplishments and results.
Besides that, since the inflexion that occurred with its transformation from only a ministers' meeting to include a leaders' meeting, it is possible to note, at the same time, a transformation in its agenda setting: G20 agenda has passed through an outreach process, including themes that were not considered at first by the group.
Exercising its prerogatives, Australian presidency established the summit agenda, focusing two main themes: (i) "promoting stronger economic growth and employment outcomes" and (ii) "making the global economy more resilient to deal with future shocks" (G20, 2014, p. 3). To meet these aims, Australia is calling G20 countries to boost economic growth by 2 per cent. Of course such themes will be discussed at the leaders' summit; nevertheless, some crucial events of world politics and some preliminary meetings call attention to some issues that can probably influence the summit, as well as shed light on the way that such themes can be approached and the processes, linkages and relationships that lie behind them.
First, Ukraine and Crimea Crisis.
The crisis that erupted and intensified in the beginning of this year in Crimea had serious consequences to the G7/8 system. In March, G7 Leaders publicized a statement (G7, 2014a) and a declaration (G7, 2014b) condemning Russia's involvement in such crisis and returning with G7 format – refusing to participate at the previously accorded G8 summit in Sochi and organizing a new one, G7 summit, in Brussels (June 4-5), when such condemnation was reinforced (G7, 2014c, §24-29).
The crisis did not end, and in July the Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 was shot down in eastern Ukraine. At such moment, the main suspects were Russian-backed separatists using a Russian missile and, to aggravate the situation, among the passengers were 37 Australian citizens and residents (Mosendz, 2014). Hence, Australian public opinion pressed their Prime Minister Tony Abbott to exclude Putin from the Brisbane summit. However, Russia exclusion is not so simple: due to G20 informal character, with no rules on membership and decisions based on consensus, Russia exclusion would have find support among G20 leaders – a similar path followed by G7 decision. But opinions are more divergent among G20 members: BRICS foreign ministers, for example, produced a joint statement saying that Russia should not be excluded from the Brisbane Summit (BRICS Foreign Ministers, 2014), followed by the BRICS leaders that condemned the sanctions imposed to Russia at their summit on July 16 (BRICS, 2014) – and such divergence become explicit at the finance ministers meeting, in September, when Julie Bishop, Australia Foreign Minister, sound out other countries opinion about it and confirmed the lack of consensus (G1, 2014). In any case, such topic will probably emerge at the Brisbane Summit.
Second, ISIS/IS/ISIL.
Until October 7 there was no mention in the G20 official website to those terms – neither in its internet search engine. According to some analysts and politicians, G20 should pay attention mainly – and if would be possible, only – to economic issues. If it makes any sense, hence it will be closely related to a kind of "division of labour" which has been in march since the 2007-2008 financial crisis: by one side, G20 consolidation as the premier forum for global economic governance issues; and by the other side, G8 (now G7) as the place where security issues could be discussed between great powers from the west (G7 Foreign Ministers, 2014). This "division of labour" would help to understand Russia exclusion from the G8 and its maintenance of Russia in the G20. Nonetheless, two more points are relevant: first, addressing the UN General Assembly (September, 24), US president Obama declare that economic sanctions against Russia could be suspended if Russia compromises itself with a diplomatic and pacific resolution of Crimean Crisis (RIA Novosti, 2014). Well, this declaration could be understood as a sign of an intention, from US, to linkage these issues – Crimean Crisis and ISIS and US intervention –, trying to work coercion and consensus in international level; second, it must be remembered some elements of G20 operation; particularly, its troika system. In order to ensure continuity and a kind of institutional memory, the previous, current and future G20 hosts make up a troika – in this case, Russia (2013), Australia (2014) and Turkey (2015). This is crucial, once the last president and the next one are both key actors on ISIS/IS/ISIL issue. Once it is obvious that host a G20 summit is a great opportunity to influence such process and its agenda setting, on the other hand, the latter elements, as well as the systemic relevance of such issue calls attention to the fact that it will probably appear during the leaders' summit – and we cannot forget the fact that ISIS is also an Australian and Turkish concern (ABC, 2014; Anadolu Agency, 2014a & 2014b).
In this sense, evidences strongly suggest that, despite G20 historical focus on economic issues, security concerns should influence the next summit in Australia. If it occurs, it will not be a novelty – in fact, it will be a sequence of the last summit, in St. Petersburg (2013), where US president Obama tried to use G20 summit to build an international coalition to cope with Syria crisis but find some resistance – from Russia, for example (BBC, 2013). Since the summit will not be host by Russia again, it will be interesting to see the possible linkages that could be built between the above-mentioned issues – Ukraine and Crimea Crisis and ISIS/IS/ISIL.
Nevertheless, despite their relevance, other issues can also reverberate in Brisbane Summit. The next post will explore two of them: the meeting of G20 Finance Ministers and Central Bank Governors, in Cairns, 20-21 September; and the meeting of G20 Trade Ministers, in Sydney, July 19.

information contained in an encrypted iPhone may want to help ultimately answer whether there was a 3rd assailant inside the San Bernardino terror assault that killed 14 human beings, in keeping with court papers filed with the aid of the county's district attorney.
San Bernardino Police chief Jarrod Burguan said Friday that the question of a third attacker has nagged investigators in spite of no assisting proof.
"we have by no means been able to absolutely eliminate it," he said. "We recognize we've got a few witnesses that said they thought they noticed three … some saw , a few saw one. most people stated two, and the evidence we have up to date simplest helps two."
nevertheless, he stated investigators would like to definitively answer the query, and unlocking the telephone may want to help try this.
Syed Rizwan Farook and his wife, Tashfeen Malik, opened fire December 2 at an annual education of his San Bernardino County co-people. They died hours later in a shootout with police. The 14 people killed marked the deadliest terror attack on US soil considering 9/11, 2001.
In a short filed in federal courtroom Thursday, San Bernardino County District lawyer Michael Ramos cited 911 calls reporting three perpetrators throughout the assault.
"The statistics contained solely on the seized iPhone ought to offer proof to become aware of as of yet unknown co-conspirators …" in step with Ramos' quick.
The short additionally advised that the county-owned iPhone used by Farook may have delivered a "mendacity-dormant cyber pathogen" endangering the county's computer network.
Burguan stated he is in no way heard that principle and knew of no issues.
such a breech is technically viable but not going, said David Meltzer, a pc security expert and leader research officer at TripWire, a business IT safety company.
If an employee desired to introduce malicious software into the county's community, Meltzer stated they might be much more likely to apply a desktop or pc laptop because it's less difficult to down load and control malicious code on a computer's operating machine.
The district legal professional is amongst many weighing in on the combat between Apple and the authorities in advance of a March 22 hearing wherein Apple is looking a choose to opposite an order requiring the agency to create a software program program that overrides iPhone security capabilities.
Apple says unlocking Farook's telephone could make all other iPhones more prone to destiny assaults.
In a letter to Apple CEO Tim cook cited in any other courtroom short, Mark Sandefur – the daddy of one of the men killed within the terror assault – also noted reviews of 3 attackers, announcing the smartphone need to be unlocked.
"numerous of the survivors tell me bone-chilling memories of in which they have been, and what they noticed," Sandefur wrote. "a number of them describe in specific element, laying on the floor, hiding below furniture and the our bodies in their co-employees, that they saw 3 assailants, no longer , strolling round in heavy boots as they accomplished their murders.
"What if there is evidence pointing to a third shooter?" Sandefur wrote. "What if it ends in an unknown terrorist mobile? What if others are attacked, and you and i did not anything to save you it?"
amongst the ones backing Apple are civil liberties advocates and some of the employer's largest competitors, consisting of Google, facebook and Microsoft.
The final of the 22 surviving sufferers of the assault changed into released from the health facility Thursday, the clicking corporation pronounced.

What I love about Japan is that anime is part of their culture and it's their signature in almost any printed material, including postcards and stamps. Japan is also a great place to be at if you have never been there and you love Japanese cuisine. I checked out this online stamp catalogue and went to Japan but it seems that they don't have these 2013 stamps yet. I would inform them so that they can include these stamps on their website.

For months and Months and MONTHS , I've covered the Deadbeat MnGOP's refusal to pay their debts to Minnesota Counties for the services they demanded – DEMANDED – concerning the November 2010 Election Recount.
And that's just here, at MPP – - SallyJo at Bluestem Prairie has been all over this scandal, too.
And just this morning, I found two, and possibly three, Counties that STILL HAVEN'T BEEN PAID – Cass, Fillmore, and Grant. There may be more; after two "No" and a "Don't think so; will get back to you" why keep going?
The funny thing is, despite Tony Sutton claiming way back in March that the MnGOP would pay it's bills, it took someone else to to it!
Yes, Beltrami, Chisago, and Clearwater counties told me earlier today that Tom Emmer stepped up and did what Tony Sutton's MnGOP wouldn't – pay some bills.
Does it really surprise anyone that a party that would stiff counties for months and Months and MONTHS would drive a state to shutdown? Because that's exactly what the MnGOP will do this Friday – shut this state down.
Oh – and can someone call Emmer, and tell him there's still a few more counties out there, that Tony Sutton's MnGOP has stiffed?

Research Paper: Children's Literature Despite Its Name, Literary Nonsense

Children's Literature
Despite its name, literary nonsense plays an important role in the history of culture, and particularly in the case of children's literature. However, while literary nonsense in children's literature has frequently been discussed according to its potential for humor that can be enjoyed by adults and children alike, the relatively subversive nature of literary nonsense in children's literature has been largely ignored, except for when that nonsense is considered a form of political satire, as in the case of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. Upon investigating the role nonsense plays in a variety of children's literature, including not only Alice's Adventures in Wonderland but also Stuart Little, Winnie-the-Pooh, and the Secret Garden, it becomes clear that nonsense functions not only to provide a kind of ageless humor, but also to subvert the dominance of the adult world. While nonsense in children's literature may appeal to adults and children alike, the true importance of it lies in its ability to demonstrate how the assumptions and ideologies of the adult world are as arbitrary and nonsensical as any of the fantastical elements included in these works.
To begin, it will be worthwhile to partially define the notion of literary nonsense as such, in order to better contextualize the subsequent analysis of the texts mentioned above. In his book Philosophy of Nonsense, Jean-Jacques Lecercle describes nonsense as representing "metasense," meaning that "the negative prefix in 'nonsense' is the mark of a process not merely of denial but also of reflexivity," because nonsense literature constantly forces the reader to acknowledge a kind of conflict between the avatars of authority in the form of "rules of grammar, maxims of conversation politeness" and the extra meaning that is created by the gleeful subversion of these avatars (Lecercle 2-3). Thus, nonsense literature does not merely mock established preexisting forms of literature or speech, but rather depends on them in order to make its point, because, as nonsense, it does not directly make a point. This is because the extra meaning contained in nonsense comes not from what it "means but rather what it does" (Rieder 47). Nonsense is not meant to be understood itself, but rather to reveal something about the underlying structures and assumptions that it is playing with by breaking down the reader's usual interpretation of those elements (Andricikova 25).
Of all the texts discussed, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland is perhaps the most well-known, or at least the one most well-known for its nonsensical nature. While it has frequently been regarded as a form of political satire for its representations of the Red Queen, nonsense permeates the entire story, from its subject matter to its narration to the actual language spoken by many of the characters. However, to see how the nonsense in the book manages to subvert adult standards of behavior and culture, one need not look any further than Alice's initial descent into the rabbit hole. As she is falling, Alice wonders if she "shall fall right through the earth," and remarks to herself "how funny it'll seem to come out among the people that walk with their heads downward" (Carroll 3). Her misconception about gravity and the nature of the planet is obviously ridiculous, but it serves to set up the next bit of her inner monologue, where she imagines having to ask whether she is in New Zealand or Australia (Carroll 3). She attempts to curtsey while falling through the air, and it is here that the book reveals the nonsensical nature of social customs. Curtseying, like all other physical demonstration of social nicety, evolved over time and has no actual bearing on an individual's worth, but, like almost all other socially determined customs, attempts to present itself as a natural and practically inherent practice. By having Alice worry about curtseying while falling down a seemingly endless rabbit hole, the book uses its nonsensical plot to demonstrate the arbitrary nature of social conformity and custom.
Similarly, Stuart Little uses a nonsensical premise in order to challenge the reader's assumptions regarding "proper" behavior and conformity to arbitrarily established rules of society. While the story of a little mouse born to human parents has plenty of nonsense in it already, the truly subversive nature of this nonsensical content is arguably demonstrated best not by Stuart himself, but rather by Harriet Ames, the tiny woman he meets near the end of the story. Exhibiting nonsense literature's fondness for "maxims of conversation politeness" and traditional representations of authority, the scene in which Stuart learns of Harriet features the titular character talking to a storekeeper. The storekeeper tells Stuart that one of Harriet's "ancestor's used to be a ferryman here in Revolutionary days," and that "her people, the Ameses, are rather prominent" (White 104). Rather than reinforce the notion that someone's worth stems from his or her family, however, this scene actually demolishes it, because Harriet's ancestry seems to have no bearing on the most important feature about her, namely, her height. By reiterating traditional demonstrations of authority or legitimacy in a nonsensical context, the book challenges the ideological standards of the adult world while maintaining the facade of normality.
In Winnie-the-Pooh, much of the book's nonsensical challenging of traditional modes of thought comes in the narrator's interactions with Pooh and Christopher Robin, because they are some of the few instances of a child interacting with an adult in the entire book. The book reveals the tendency of adults to go along with seemingly nonsensical statements or behavior because they are unwilling to admit that they view them as such. For example, when inquiring about Winnie-the-Pooh's name, the only answer the narrator gets is a seemingly exasperated question from Christopher, "Don't you know what 'ther' means?" (Milne 5). The narrator is unwilling to admit his ignorance, so he simply agrees with Christopher, and this interaction reveals something essential about the adult world, something that the book attempts to demonstrate throughout. Adult society is absolutely dependent upon not questioning a variety of nonsensical or arbitrary standards, and the narrator's decision not to inquire further about Pooh's name demonstrates just how easy it is for these standards to remain unquestioned out of a desire not to appear foolish or ignorant. Thus, nonsense in Winnie-the-Pooh, like other children's literature, serves to demonstrate the arbitrary nature of the standards and assumptions which govern the adult world.
Of all the texts considered here, the Secret Garden is arguably the least nonsensical, because it revolves around a relatively bleak story and central theme, even if by the end nearly everyone is happy. Nevertheless, the book deploys some of the same methods of literary nonsense in its narration. For example, when Mary notices that Colin's manners are atrocious, she thinks about how she "had indeed been rather like him herself and since she had gradually discovered that her own manners had not been of the kind which is usual or popular. Having made this discovery she naturally thought it of enough interest to communicate to Colin" (Burnett 293). The most interesting part of this narration is not the fact that Mary recognizes that she had previously been rude, but rather that this rudeness is merely categorized as manners which were not "the kind which is usual or popular" (Burnett 293). This description is important because in many ways it has the same effect as nonsense in other stories; namely, it reveals that the standards of the adult world are arbitrarily defined according to what is popular, and are not based on any underlying, essential truth or moral dictate.
Nonsense in children's literature plays a crucial role because it serves to educate children about the reality of the world, and particularly the fact that the ostensibly inherent meaning and standards of the adult world are anything but. By subverting standards of behavior, thought,… [END OF PREVIEW]

Chris Brown is up to his same old tricks.
The R&B singer hits the club and ogles some booty-popping females in the brand-new video for "Love More," the latest single from Brown's forthcoming sixth (and possibly last) studio album "X." Joining him on the track is prolific guest-spitter Nicki Minaj, making an appearance in the video as a catwalk-striding sex kitten with an appetite for domination. To say that her contribution is the most interesting part of the whole affair unfortunately says less about Minaj than it does about the utter inanity of the song itself (Sample lyric: "We do it like we rock stars/Sexin' in my hotel room, I be so loud/Higher than a smoke cloud"), and the video is assembly-line hip-hop without an ounce of inspiration.
My grade for the video: D+. After watching it below, rate it for yourself at top left.

Written by: Kunihiko Miura
An owl was looking into my eyes through a glass wall at Tori no Iru Cafe (bird cafe) in the Kiba district of Koto Ward, Tokyo. Nowadays, cafes where customers can connect with owls are quietly gainly popularity in central Tokyo with people seeking comfort.
Mika Toriyama, 40, who opened the cafe in December, said, "I wanted as many people as possible to see beautiful owls."
In the cafe, horned owls and other species of birds are kept in a glass enclosure. For a fee, customers can enter the enclosure and touch the birds.
Customers were happily chatting about the birds, saying, "The feather pattern on this bird is pretty, isn't it?" while drinking coffee and other beverages.
At another cafe in the Tsukishima district of Chuo Ward, Tokyo, Fukuro no Mise (owl spot), more than 10 kinds of owls freely interact with patrons.
Customers are charged an hourly fee, which includes a drink. Customers can choose their favorite bird and place it on their arm or shoulder.
The cafe also sells birds, and the owner said more than 30 birds have been sold in the past six months.
The cafe is so popular that on weekends there is a long line in front of the shop before it opens.
Yukika Ofuji, a 34-year-old company employee who frequents the cafe, smiled with an owl on her arm and said, "I feel comforted as the birds closely watch me when I worry about illness or work, for example."
Though it is unclear whether owls have a therapeutic effect on people, how about enjoying a drink with an owl on your arm, when you need a break from work?
