Desert Churros Rovings Ranch Tour
Photos by Textile Arts LA member Pam Powers.
Katherine Tucker of Desert Churros Rovings Ranch hosted Textile Arts LA members this past Saturday, April 7th. We gathered for a home cooked meal at her beautiful house before visiting her studio and sheep. Katherine talked to us about her work, including the three floor looms she owns, spinning her own yarn, and the different natural dye techniques she uses. She showed us the roving made from her Navajo Churro's fleece (including roving from the sheeps' first shearings!). We made our way around the ranch, visiting the rams first and the ewes second. Members were allowed into the ewe pen to pet them (though the sheep were skeptical of our presence at first). Katherine also has three lovely dogs and a beautiful grey mare. After visiting the sheep, we gathered again inside for some home made lemon pies and coffee – what a perfect day in the country!
If you're interested in buying roving from Desert Churros Rovings Ranch, check out their Etsy page.
MORE FROM LESLEY: We really can't thank Katherine enough! She went out of her way to welcome us to the Ranch. We enjoyed a lunch of salmon, rice, and home made coleslaw - I'll post the link to her recipe when she sends it, since a few people asked her for it - yes, it was that good. She prepared beautifully: talked at length about natural dyeing, offered us handouts with recipes and photos for madder root, lichens, rabbit brush, onion skins, and more. We'll post some photos of rabbit brush experiments below.
Carrie noted in her personal Instagram post that the brown lichen recipe requires soaking in ammonia . . . for a year. Yes, a year. One must have patience for this process! I'll post a few photos below of the yarns Katherine has dyed using local materials. The lichen yarn is the last one in the grid immediately below (I'm holding it in my palm).
Katherine also shared information on the Desert Churros sheep: an article in the New York Times from 2012 about Irene Bennalley of the Navajo Sheep Project and the Navajo-Churro Sheep Association, which supplies roving to fiber artists and promotes the well being of this special breed.
Books she recommends for more information include Harvesting Color by Rebecca Burgess and In Search of the Perfect Green - and Orange , too! A Natural Dye Book by Stefanie Isaacson.
Below are photos of a terrific color study from Amy Clark, showcasing a dye test she made with rabbit brush on cotton and wool, using various dye pots: aluminum, copper, and stainless. Even if this kind of careful documentation of process and outcome is your standard, you have to credit the effort and care that went into the work and the presentation. I loved it and wanted to acknowledge the effort!
To give you a bit more flavor of the day, we captured Carrie (right, who serendipitously met Katherine at last summer's WEFF event) and Lesley (me, left) in Katherine's weaving studio, and also a shot of the absolutely stunning grey mare that hangs out with the ewes and ate apples out of my hand. And we had to include a photo of the lemon pies, because it's truly not every day that you invite yourself and a dozen friends to a someone's home and are treated so well. #homemadepieisthebest #membershipfeesworthit

Hi there
I generally like to be able to retain the structure of a book or article when I take a large number of notes. It makes it easier for me to find the right note, and often it allows me to remember at a glance what the entire book/article was about. Right now the quotations tab in the reference mode only allows to see one note after the other. It would be great to have the same "subheadings" options, so I could divide up notes according to chapters, main sections, etc. Is this doable?
Thanks again for a great piece of software, and I will be looking forward to hearing your thoughts!

Plains indigenous peoples
|Taiwanese indigenous peoples
Nationwide Recognized
Locally recognized
|Related topics
It has been suggested that Pingpu peoples be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since August 2018.
Plains indigenous peoples (Chinese: 平埔族群; pinyin: píngpuzúqún; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Pêⁿ-po͘-cho̍k), previously called plain aborigines, are Taiwanese indigenous peoples originally residing in low land regions, as opposed to Highland indigenous peoples. Plains indigenous peoples consist of anywhere from eight to twelve individual peoples, rather than being a single ethnic group. They are part of the Austronesian family. Plains indigenous peoples have been labelled by Japanese and Han Chinese as "plains savages" or the term Pepohoan[1] (平埔番; Píngpǔfān; Pêⁿ-po͘-hoan)[2] from Hokkien and "cooked savages" (熟番; shúfān; se̍k-hoan).[3] Beginning from the 17th century, plains indigenous peoples have been heavily influenced by external forces from Dutch, Spanish and Han Chinese immigration to Taiwan. This ethnic group has since been extensively assimilated with Han Chinese language and culture; they have lost their cultural identity and it is almost impossible without careful inspection to distinguish plains indigenous peoples from Taiwanese Han people.
Plains indigenous peoples have not been officially recognised by the Taiwan government, apart from the Kavalan. It was not until the mid-1980s that plains indigenous peoples started gaining interest from historians and anthropologists, leading to increased public attention to this group. Various anthropological studies have emerged in recent years arguing that circa 85% of Hoklo and Hakka Taiwanese are actually descendants of plains indigenous peoples through intermarriages with Han immigrants. This is still an ongoing debate and has been used as political leverage to promote Taiwan independence and ethnic consciousness. An increasing number of Hoklo and Hakka are beginning to search for plains indigenous bloodlines in their genealogy, and many are starting to claim themselves as plains indigenous peoples. These indigenous groups are currently continuing to fight for its identity, rights and recognition as Taiwanese indigenous peoples. In 2016, the Tsai Ing-wen administration promised to grant official recognition to the plains indigenous peoples[4], and draft bill is being reviewed by the Legislative Yuan as of June 2018.[5][6]

In The Island of Formosa (1903), former US Consul to Formosa James W. Davidson presented the first English-language account of the indigenous peoples of the whole island, which was almost entirely based on the comprehensive work collected over several years of study by Ino Kanori, the foremost authority on the topic at the time.[7] In Ino's eight-group classification, the Pepo, Puyuma, and Amis groups were known as "domesticated savages" (Japanese: 熟番 Hepburn: jukuban), primarily due to their abandonment of ancient customs. Of these three groups, only the Pepo lived in the western plains where they remained to compete with the Chinese settlers (the Puyuma and Amis inhabited the eastern plains).
The term Pepo (Chinese: 平埔; pinyin: píngpǔ; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: pêⁿ-po͘; literally: 'flat plain'), referred to indigenous peoples that resided in the Formosan plains, rather than the highland mountainous regions. Plains indigenous peoples mainly settled in the west and central mountain regions of Taiwan.[8] The term Sek-hoan (熟番; shúfān; se̍k-hoan; 'well-cooked/familiar savages') was also used to describe plains indigenous peoples because they often lived closer to the coast and had more interaction with Dutch and Han Chinese immigrants, hence were more assimilated and civilised than highland indigenous peoples. Mention of plains indigenous peoples have appeared in Qing texts dating back as early as 1764.[9] In summary, the Pepo were those plains indigenous peoples who could still be easily distinguished from the Chinese, whereas the Sek-hoan had already thoroughly adopted Chinese customs, thus exhibiting no trace of their "ancient life".[10]
In the 17th century, plains indigenous peoples were involved in the flourishing deerskin export market. Plains indigenous hunters often supplied deerskin to the Qing and Dutch regimes, in exchange for cash to trade for other goods and also to pay for taxes enforced under the new regimes.[11] By the 18th century, the deerskin industry had largely diminished due to overhunting, and the inflow of Chinese immigrants began to take up much of the grazing land.[12] Therefore, plains indigenous peoples increasingly relied on plow agriculture and land rent from indigenous land reclaimed by Han settlers.
Han settlers initially implemented policies that favoured plains indigenous peoples. This was because Han officials feared a revolt against Chinese immigrants, and also because plains indigenous peoples were tax-paying citizens and could be used as military sources.[13] Furthermore, the Chinese government initially viewed their expansion as a disruption to the indigenous people status quo, hence they introduced policies to favour plains indigenous peoples. However, plains indigenous peoples were increasingly not able to compete economically and ethnically with the growing Chinese population that flooded to Taiwan. Han policies in favour of plains indigenous peoples began to disappear. Han settlers started to disintegrate many of the plains indigenous peoples from their original villages. It is within these "political and economic frameworks" that the plains indigenous peoples gradually became sinicized.[12]
Plains indigenous peoples began to adopt aspects of Chinese culture, values, and language. Most importantly, intermarriage between Chinese and plains indigenous peoples increased rapidly, leading to the acculturation of plains indigenous peoples with Chinese. Many of the early Chinese settlers in Taiwan were not permitted to bring women with them; hence they married plains indigenous women out of necessity.[8] This is the origin of the common saying "there are mainland grandfathers, but no mainland grandmothers" (Chinese: 有唐山公,無唐山媽; Pe̍h-ōe-jī: Ū Tn̂g-soaⁿ kong, bô Tn̂g-soaⁿ má).[14][15] This extensive intermarriage is the reason that many Taiwanese people today are unaware that they could be descendants of plains indigenous peoples. Several theories have been proposed during the 2000s, to suggest that a large majority of Hoklo and Hakka Taiwanese could have plains indigenous lineage in their bloodline.[16] An increasing number of Taiwanese are starting to search for their plains indigenous roots and claim their status as plains indigenous peoples.[17]
Plain Indigenous Peoples Recognition Movement[edit]
After centuries of acculturation, plains indigenous peoples are almost completely sinicized.[18] It was already noted in the early 20th century that careful observation was required to note their deeper eyes as compared to the Chinese; also, the women did not practice foot binding.[10] It is now nearly impossible to distinguish plains indigenous peoples without careful inspection.[19] Through the process of acculturation, much of the language, culture and identity of plains indigenous peoples have become non-existent in modern Taiwanese society.[18] The Republic of China government currently only officially recognises one (Kavalan) of all the plains indigenous peoples.[20]
Even though there was a lack of attention and interest in the history of plains indigenous peoples until the mid-1980s, through the works of scholars, folklorists, anthropologists, historians and remaining descendants of plains indigenous peoples, there have been a gradual restoration of plains indigenous culture, history, identity and language.[18] For example, a descendant of plains indigenous peoples in Hualien, Chieh Wan-lai, still insists on teaching the traditional language and culture of plains indigenous peoples.[19] More educational pamphlets are emerging to educate Taiwanese about the existence of plains indigenous peoples. Furthermore, a campaign was started in Yilan for descendants of the Kavalan to find their roots.[19] Many plains indigenous ceremonies have been revitalized around Taiwan, and these have been opened up to the public and to people who have recently discovered their status as plains indigenous peoples.[21]
Ethno-political activities and Nativist Cultural Movements flourished after the 1990s, and a "Plains Aborigine Name Correction Movement" (Plains Indigenous Peoples Recognition Movement) emerged.[19] Several protests occurred in 2001 and 2010, and a formal complaint was sent to the United Nations in 2010, demanding the ROC government to formally recognise plains indigenous peoples.[22] Descendants of plains indigenous peoples today continue to fight for the official recognition of their status as Taiwanese indigenous peoples.
Through the efforts of the indigenous people, Tainan County became the first local government to recognize Siraya people as county-level indigenous people in 2005, followed by the recognition of local Taivoan, Makatao, and Siraya people by Fuli Township Government in 2013. In 2016, Pingtung County Government announced the recognition of local Makatao. The Plain indigenous peoples have been allowed to registered in Kaohsiung City since 2013 but not yet been recognized as city-level indigenous peoples. The numbers of people who have successfully registered, including Kaohsiung City Government that has opened to register but not yet recognized, as of 2017 are[23][24][25][26]:

Plains indigenous peoples have been classified under different systems throughout history. The Dutch separated plains indigenous peoples by regions and differentiated them by communities (社名). Huang Shujing, during Qing rule, categorised all Taiwanese indigenous peoples into thirteen peoples, based on geographic location.[9]
It was not until the Japanese rule that proper anthropological and ethnographic classification systems of plains indigenous peoples were formed. The Japanese studies revealed that plains indigenous peoples were not one culture, but in fact consisted of various peoples, languages and cultures. The Japanese extensively studied Taiwanese indigenous peoples in order to classify, locate and civilise them.
Ethnographer Ino Kanori first to create the modern ethnological classification of plains indigenous peoples, consisting of the following peoples: Makattao, Siraya, Loa, Poavasa, Arikun, Vupuran, Pazehhe, and Kuvarawan.[27] Since then, other scholars such as Shigeru Tsuchida, Utsurikawa Nenozo, Mabuchi Toichi and Ogawa Naoyoshi have presented various classification systems for plains indigenous peoples.[9] There is still no full consensus over whether there are eight, nine, ten or twelves peoples of plains indigenous peoples. The major disputes consist of:
- Whether Arikun and Lloa should be classified separately or as one ethnic group.
- Whether Ketagalan should be further divided into separate groups.
- Whether Siraya, Taivoan, and Makattao are separate groups or part of one group. However, based on the latest discovery in linguistics[28][29], the three ethnic groups should be separate indigenous peoples.
- Whether Sao is a plains indigenous or highland people.

Hunting, fishing and agriculture[edit]
Before the arrival of immigrants, plains indigenous peoples lived a simple lifestyle based on agriculture, fishing and hunting.[9] They produced just enough for their needs. Taros and yams were important in their diets. They used simple tools such as sticks and spades for growing food; to hunt they used traps, spears and arrows; to fish they used nets, baskets and arrows.[33] Men were usually in charge of fishing and hunting, while women were responsible for farming roles.[9] Deer and wild boars were the main hunting targets for plains indigenous peoples.
Matriarchal society[edit]
Plains indigenous peoples were based around a matriarchal society; women were often the head of the family and in charge of important household affairs.[34] Men usually lived with their wives after marriages, serving for their wives' family. Females inherited property and passed on lineage. Women were usually in charge of religious issues and men were responsible for political issues.
Tribal systems[edit]
Although women had higher status in the clan system, in the tribal system men were superior.[34] Tribes were treated as a singular, collective unit. Leaders of the tribes were chosen based on seniority; the oldest member of the tribe became the leader. The elders were responsible for attending community meetings, at which a community chief was chosen to lead the community. The elders were also responsible for solving internal and external disputes.
Ritual ceremonies[edit]
Plains indigenous peoples held ritual ceremonies several times a year, to worship natural and ancestral spirits. Plains indigenous peoples strongly believed in the worshiping of ancestors.[9] Whenever a ceremony was held, plains indigenous peoples would gather in the political centre of the tribe called kunghsieh, and they would drink, sing, dance and celebrate.[35]
Surnames were an integral part to plains indigenous culture. Through the process of acculturation, plains indigenous peoples gave up their naming systems and original surnames in favour of adopting Chinese surnames. In the process, several unique surnames were created in conjunction with indigenous influences; these differed from Hoklo and Hakka surnames.
Some of the unique surnames included: 月、邦、宜、機、翼、力、卯、茆、同、念、東、岩、哀、曷、埕、買、猴、標、紅、雙、角、楓、詩、樟、墜、雛、乃、味、毒、陣、盂、解、棹、永、湖、振、偕、嘪、掌、奚、詠、倚、竭、北、六、水、麗、崗、崑、桌、牙、陀、秘、烏、新、糠、長、萇、霜
Recent developments[edit]
Complaint to United Nations[edit]
In 2010, representatives of plains indigenous peoples in Taiwan sent an official complaint to the United Nations in Geneva; the complaint outlined the unfairness caused by plains indigenous peoples not being formally recognised under the current Republic of China administration.[22] The representatives of plains indigenous peoples demanded for the group to be recognised formally as Taiwanese aborigine and Austronesian. The complaint was later rejected by the United Nations.[22] As a result, a dedicated committee under the name 'Pingpu Affairs Task Force' (平埔族群事務推動小組) has been created by the Executive Yuan to deal with plains indigenous issues.[22]
Plains indigenous peoples genes theory[edit]
Genetic studies conducted by Dr. Marie Lin (林媽利) of Mackay Memorial Hospital in 2001, 2008 and 2010 concluded that despite only 1.5 percent of Taiwanese being registered as indigenous people, there is a strong possibility that over 85% of Taiwanese have plains indigenous bloodline.[36] Lin's research was based on the study of human tissue antigens (HLA) of Hoklo, Hakka and plains indigenous peoples. Through hundreds of years of assimilation and intermarriage between Han Chinese and plains indigenous peoples, it is a commonly that there is a high possibility that genetically the Hoklo and Hakka bloodlines in Taiwan have been fused with plains indigenous bloodlines.
A doctoral candidate named Chen disputes the results of Lin's genetic testing, arguing that there are several statistical inconsistencies in Lin's research, which has led to an unreliable conclusion.[37] For example, Lin's 2000–2001 research showed only 13% of Taiwanese haplotypes were of indigenous roots; however, in 2007 the figure was recorded as 52%. Chen also pointed out that Lin's research overestimates the amount of plains bloodline in Taiwan, because a test subject only needed to have one out of the three plains genes identified by Lin to be classified as plains aborigine. Chen continued to argue that the continuation of Lin's trials would lead to the eventual conclusion that 99.99% of Han Chinese in Taiwan have plains roots.
Lin has responded to Chen's criticism by first pointing out the disparity between 13% figure and 52% figure is derived from the two being conducted by using two different methodological approaches: the former using the older methodology (serology), and the latter using the more advanced and precise DNA methodology that became available as science progressed. In addition, the disparity is contributed by the former only examining the genetic similarities or differences between pure indigenous peoples and Hakka/Hoklo, and the latter adding other ethnic groups, such as South East Asian (Polynesian) and other Asian. So the 52% figure was never intended in Lin's account to be a representation of the amount of Taiwanese plains genes within the Taiwanese population, rather, the figure encompasses everything from Taiwanese plains genes to other non-Han Chinese ethnic groups.[38]
Moreover, Lin maintains that test subjects indeed only need one out of three genes to be identified as of descent, since the question at hand is about whether the majority of Taiwanese have ancestry other than Han-Chinese, similar to how the majority of Native Americans in the States have been infused with white blood, or to a certain extent culture, and acquired Anglo features. But nonetheless holds their ancestral roots and identify themselves as the nations' first people.[39]
However, despite 2⁄3 of Lin's response directly addresses the criticisms posed by Chen, the press was only concerned with how Lin briefly speculates Chen's motives for arguing against Lin's study: that they are derived from Chen's relationship with Mainland China's Fudan University. As a result, Chen was able to portray Lin as having chosen to avoid his criticisms of her work. In Lin's response, she pointed out the fact that Chen, as a former student of hers, has conducted academic dishonesty before, presenting Lin's discovery as his own.[39]
Despite popular media backlash, Lin continues to stand by her research and has since published an academic text in 2010 titled "We have different bloodlines".[40] In this text, Lin continued to argue that Taiwanese are descendants of both Han Chinese and plains indigenous peoples.
Lin's research has been used in recent years to promote the Taiwan independence movement and to build an independent Taiwanese identity. Activists have used Lin's findings to argue a view that Taiwanese are not descendants of Han Chinese but rather descendants of plains indigenous peoples; therefore Taiwan should remain fully independent from mainland China.[41]
Taiwanese "blood nationalists" tried to claim Plains ancestry in order to promote Taiwan independence and try to claim an identity different from that of mainland Chinese. However, this position soon experienced political strain. Taiwanese that have been relatively untouched by Chinese colonialism (Gaoshan) felt the responsibility to preserve their cultural uniqueness and ancestry, and often despise their counterpart (Pingpu/Plains peoples) that have suffered racial and cultural assimilation in claiming indigenous status.[42]
Moreover, within the Taiwanese Han Hoklo community itself, differences in culture indicate the degree to which mixture with indigenous peoples took place, with most pure Hoklo Han in Northern Taiwan having almost no admixture, which is limited to Hoklo Han in Southern Taiwan.[43] Plains people who were mixed and assimilated into the Hoklo Han population at different stages were differentiated by the historian Melissa J. Brown between "short-route" and "long-route".[44] The ethnic identity of assimilated Plains people in the immediate vicinity of Tainan was still known since a pure Hoklo Taiwanese girl was warned by her mother to stay away from them.[45]
The insulting name "fan" was used against Plains indigenous peoples by the Taiwanese, and Hoklo speech was adopted by indigenous peoples like the Pazeh.[46] Hoklo Taiwanese has replaced Pazeh and driven it to near extinction.[47] Indigenous status has been requested by Plains people.[48]
The deep-rooted hostility between Taiwanese indigenous peoples and (Taiwanese) Hoklo, and the indigenous communities' effective KMT networks, contribute to skepticism against the DPP and the indigenous people's tendency to vote for the KMT.[49]

Red McKelvie
Red McKelvie is a New Zealand singer-songwriter-instrumentalist and session musician who has been described as "Australasia's greatest pop guitarist". He has appeared on albums by Richard Clapton and The Flying Circus in Australia and Hello Sailor, Dave Dobbyn's DD Smash, Al Hunter and Glen Moffatt in New Zealand. McKelvie's early forays in the music scene were as lead guitarist for such Auckland, New Zealand, bands as The Chelsea Beats, The Dark Ages and The Avengers, but it was upon his arrival in Sydney, Australia, in 1967 that he became a much in-demand sideman and session player. Sydney bands in which McKelvie featured included The Starving Wild Dogs, alongside future Blackfeather pianist Paul Wyld, and Quill before he joined The Flying Circus and greatly influenced their flirtation with country music. Despite the first single from The Flying Circus's Prepared in Peace LP being McKelvie's "Israel", McKelvie was sacked from the band for "confusing the band's direction".

Nestled in a cozy bend in the North Saskatchewan River, the Capilano Community boundaries extend from 110th Ave to the North, to 106th Ave in the South and from 43rd Street to the East and 70th Street to the West. The community is located within 10 minutes of the downtown core, and is across the river, following Wayne Gretzky Drive, from Rexall Place – home of the Edmonton Oilers NHL hockey team. Capilano is bordered by the communities of Goldbar to the East, Fulton Place to the South and Highlands to the North across the river.
Edmonton's River Valley is the largest stretch of urban parkland in North America with 7400 hectares. This vast parkland is approximately 21 times larger than Central Park in New York City. Besides 22 different park areas, Edmonton's river valley has: more than 150 kilometers of trails, 4 lake systems with a total of 11 lakes, 14 ravines, and the North Saskatchewan River Basin. There are endless recreational opportunities when you visit the River Valley. The following two river valley parks are within Capilano Community:
- Goldbar Park is in the city's east end, between 101st Ave to the south and 109th Avenue to the north. It extends from the bank of the North Saskatchewan River to 50th Street. Goldbar Park is linked to Rundle Park by a footbridge. Goldbar offers picnic sites and great hiking, biking, and skiing trails.
- Capilano Park is located on 109th Avenue and 50th Street. This park offers barbeque grates and shelter for family picnics. Capilano also has great access to one of only two boat launches available in the city.
In addition to the river valley parks, Capilano Community has two neighbourhood parks:
- Thiele Park recognizes Alexander Harold Thiele (1920-1981) who was a lawyer involved with the German Canadian community.
- Samis Park is named after Earl Samis (1895-1970) who dedicated 50 years of service to recreation in Edmonton.

Ladies, do I have a surprise for you!!!! Last month, the Romantic Times Convention was held in Orlando, Florida, and among the activities of the conference was the crowning of the 2009 Mr. Romance. Today I am so excited to announce that we have the winner of the Mr. Romance contest with us. Please give Mr. Charles Paz a very warm RNTV welcome.
Charles, thank you so much for joining us today. I am sure all the ladies are very excited to learn more about you. First, I must say that I have truly enjoyed getting to know you over the past couple of weeks. You are a very sweet man with a great sense of humor. I think your nickname for me has taken hold – Sweet N Low. LOL! Now, on to the interview.
Buffie: Tell us how you became aware of the Mr. Romance contest.
Charles: Well, I owe all of this to Annette Batista. None of it would be possible without her. She saw my model portfolio on ModelMayhem.com and always believed I had a look for romance covers. The beginning of this year was very hard for me. I couldn't get out of bed. Days went by without me eating. It was a very low point of my life. She called me and said "Get up, your coming to Tampa. I need you for a project." And that is when I came to Tampa and shot the centerfold advertisement for the RT Review Magazine. After the shoot was finished, Annette, Patty (the model in the ad) and myself drove to Orlando to meet with some of the organizers of the show to discuss things. I was sitting there listening to them talking about this event and I liked it. It sounded really cool. They invited me to come and I got sponsored by Betweenyoursheets.com. The rest is history.
Buffie: How did it feel to win Mr. Romance?
Charles: It truly is an honor to win. I cannot describe the feeling I had when I heard my name announced not once, but twice in the same night. The cover model is awesome, but I also hold the Readers Choice Award in the same level. Making so many people happy and making such a great impression with all those wonderful people is something that I can't explain.
Buffie: Have you been surprised at the response you are already receiving from the romance community?
Charles: It's definitely a new world to me. Everybody has been really nice to me and I'm going with the flow. The community is awesome. I'm very happy and proud to be part of the "Family".
Buffie: Have you ever read a romance novel?
Charles: I will be very honest. I read more magazines than novels. I was very ignorant to this book world. I didn't know the difference between a paranormal thriller and a western romance mystery. HAHAHA, but during the week, I would take the time to ask people (authors and readers) what these categories were and explain them to me. I feel one of the best things I got from this convention was the knowledge about books and the different types that they have to offer.
Buffie: I assume you have been in the modeling business for a little while. Please tell us how you got your start.
Charles: Well, I did a body building competition back in November 2007. I had a friend at the gym ask me if I got my pictures taken. She said I was in the best shape of my life and needed to document it. She then introduced me to Model Mayhem. I did another show in July 2008 and after that, I had one shoot, which led to another shoot, which led to, well, you get the picture.
Buffie: Before you started body building, what was your profession?
Charles: I never thought I would be a model or body builder. I used to work at a pizza place in high school. I even worked at Wal-Mart in my early 20s. I loved the photo lab when I was there. After Wally World, I worked a few warehouse jobs and ended up at a machine shop doing plastic and fiberglass fabrication. I moved to Jersey but couldn't make it out there. When I came home, the old job couldn't afford to hire me back due to the economy. I'm doing temp agency work now and struggling, but its building my character and making me stronger.
Buffie: What is one thing we would be surprised to learn about you?
Charles: There is only one woman who truly has my heart, and that is my niece "Baby Girl"
Buffie: Can you tell us what kind of uncle you are to her?
Charles: Baby Girl is my world. She looks up to me a lot and listens when I tell her stuff. Her parents even say that she listens to me more than she does them. I remember times when she would be crying at night and I would come over and make everything better. I think that's what makes me so special. Whenever anything is wrong, Uncle Charles will make it alright :~)
Buffie: So I guess that means you are not currently in a relationship?
Charles: Nope. And I still claim single on my taxes. Hahaha. A lot of people are surprised when I tell them I don't have a girlfriend.
Buffie: What is the most romantic thing someone has done for you?
Charles: One time, this amazing girl took me to the arts theater in San Francisco. It's a nice outdoor area. Night time. She pulls out her Ipod and tells me "just listen to this song, it reminds me of you". She put it on, grabbed my hand, and we slowly danced under the stars. I'm usually the one who does these sort of things. It was nice having it done to me. I was weak in the knees after that moment
Buffie: What is the most romantic thing you have done for someone else?
Charles: Oh man, where do I begin? HAHAHA! There was this one Christmas. The girl I was with at the time got 12 days of Christmas. Each day I would have something delivered to her job. On the last day, I showed up with a necklace from Tiffany's. It wasn't the gifts that mattered, it was the thought and time and actual heart that I put into this which made it romantic.
Buffie: So when you are not modeling, what do you like to do in your spare time? What's your hobby?
Charles: I'd say working out is my favorite hobby. I am getting more and more into photography so that is also something I enjoy doing. I love capturing moments in peoples' lives, especially the happy ones.
Buffie: Where would you like to see yourself in five years?
Charles: 5 years? hmmm…… I would like to see myself happy and healthy. I really can't be specific, but those two things sound about right.
Now it's time for the speed quick round. These questions only required short and sweet answers.
Last movie you saw? Kingdom Of Heaven
Last book you read? It was a magazine, Mens Health
What couldn't you survive without – your cell phone or your laptop? Cell phone. Mine has a built in computer 🙂
Favorite snack food? Peanut M&Ms
Favorite vacation spot? Marina Dunes in California
Blondes, brunettes, or redheads? I don't discriminate. I love all women equally. HAHAHA! I am a sucker for a Latina though.
Charles, thank you so much for joining us today. I really appreciate the time you have given to me for this interview. May your career be long, fruitful, and very satisfying.

(Cannot Age)
| Weapons of War
Of Men and Titans Book III
|Mental Status:
Lilith is a Cybernetic Humanoid dating from the early 2000's, she is operated by a hybrid form of human organs and robotic technology. Her brain stem contains a Bio Chip that interfaces with the rest of her body. If her robotic systems shut down for any reason then her human body will still function, if her human body comes under attack the nano bots in her blood stream will repair tissue and metal alike with their supply of materials. She was designed for all out warfare, but was never used in combat due to complications in testing.
Lilith was designed by Doctor Light, he was created from a patient who was trapped in an endless coma and the best computer parts of the time, modified to interface with her human body. She remembers nothing from before waking up in the lab and the secret of her past died with Doctor Light and his Staff. Her romantic history began and ended with Robert Reagan. She considered her parents as Doctor Light and Doctor Knicely, knowing the men were not romantically involved with each other, she still thought of it this way due to how they both impacted the development of her and her siblings. She titles all of the EVEs as her sisters and loves them very dearly, willing to risk her own life for theirs.
Robert Reagan: She became infatuated with Robert on first sight, feeling that it was a system malfunction she had all her systems examined. Kissing him sends her systems into overload as they cannot process human emotion.
Doctor Light: She views him as a father.
Doctor Knicely: She views Doctor Knicely as a father also.
EVE-1 (Maria): Lilith views EVE-1 as her sibling and loves her dearly as such.
EVE-2 (Amelia/ Eva): Lilith views EVE-2 as her sister as well and was involved slightly with her raising.
Lilith's viewing of the EVEs as her siblings was brought on by their slight appearance similarity as well as their sharing of the same data and the relation of the projects that created them both.

The jump bag has been refined and designed by trapeze artists to absorb all landings from heights well above the highest platform of 7m. Even the smaller kids can feel like a hero as they take a leap of faith from the smaller 4m platform as a safety jump first. We wouldn't offer the Stunt Jump if we weren't assured of its safety, and this ride will satisfy an extremely large crowd, entertain onlookers and assure an adrenaline filled event. As seen on Channel Nine's Weekend TODAY Show!!!
The Stunt Jump is one of the larger trailer rides so we need at least 2.5m wide gates or entry to your venue. This long trailer will be towed in by one of our vehicles so you also need to consider that we require plenty of room to manoeuvre the trailer into the right location, which should be relatively level with no overhead obstacles like buildings or trees. Our staff only need 1 hour or less to level the trailer and carefully position all of the support arms and make sure everything is safe and ready to go before inflating the landing pads! Once setup the ride will occupy approximately 20m long x 10m wide space and needs 3 normal powerpoints to continually blow air into the bags. This item comes with full supervision by our trained and uniformed staff and is covered by our $20M Public Liability Insurance.
Another hair raising amusement ride is the Sizzler, or we have a huge range of other Mechanical & Carnival Rides to draw the crowds at your school fete, community festivals and corporate functions!

Home »Auco Cruise Halong Bay
We are please to advise that this cruise itinerary is just designed for 3 days 2 nights program.
If you wish to take only program cruise with same class, please see at Bhaya Junk.
The sister of Au Co Cruise is Bhaya Cruise
Itinerary of Bhaya Cruise 2 days/ 1 nights as here:
DAY 1: Hanoi - Halong Bay - Lan Ha - Bay (Lunch & Dinner)
Stunning view of Lan Ha Bay. The first day of your cruise is an introduction to the amazing scenery of Halong Bay and its southern sister; Lan Ha Bay. Cruising through Halong Bay will literally take your breath away, as we pass famous spots like Thien Cung and Me Cung caves, plus Soi Sim and Titov islands. Also located in the Gulf of Tonkin, to the south of Halong Bay, Lan Ha Bay, Dark and Bright Cave offers tranquility and nature at its best, and a guided kayaking tour or a refreshing swim in the Bay's emerald waters are two of the best ways to enjoy it. Then we anchor at Ho Dong Tien area, a peaceful and beautiful location.
DAY 2: Cat Ba Island - Bai Tu Long Bay (Breakfast, Lunch)
Biking through rain forest of Cat Ba National Park. Cat Ba Island is famous for its national park, with more than half the island designated. This island, far and away the largest in the Gulf of Tonkin, is covered by a dense rain forest home to numerous indigenous species of flora and fauna. The secluded village of Viet Hai, situated in the middle of this pristine environment, is easily accessible thanks to a short walk or cycling trip and is where we are developing an organic farm which you can visit.
Bai Tu Long Bay, located a little further east of Halong Bay, is the most remote area of your voyage. The exceptional scale and variety of the geological rock formations in this area are sure to make this a future destination for cruising in the Gulf of Tonkin. A relaxing rowing boat tour through the floating village of Vung Vieng and cruising into the geological park of this bay will definitely be delightful moments for you to remember.

There is so much information out there on the internet about one's BMI or body mass index, but a person also has to remember to read the facts about the BMI itself and not the myths.
The body mass index is a scientific measurement of a person's height to weight ratio. For this reason, shorter people can sometimes fall under the over weight categories according to the BMI, while at the same time taller people can fall under the under weight categories.
The BMI calculator kg was designed to determine if your weight is a healthy one based on your height, by doing so, your body weight is divided by the square of your height which in turns gives you the BMI number. This is not a means to determine if you are too fat or not fat enough, but rather a means to determine you susceptibility to certain health risks which are associated to ones weight. There is only one BMI scale which is shared by both adults and children; however the ideal weight range differs between the two.
Along with the standard body mass index, there is also a BMI Prime number to help cover for inconsistencies that may occur due to bone structure and overall body make-up. It is always important to research related issues before deciding whether or not you are over or under weight as well as consulting your healthcare professional who has added tools at his/her disposal for more accurate measurements of healthy weights.

Today I am going to review Vichy Ideal Soleil High Protection Dry Oil SPF 20 and SPF 50(UVA+UVB). This Dry Oil can be used on face and all over body to protect your skin from harmful UV rays. In my previous post I have reviewed Vichy Ideal Soleil Tinted BB Cream and Velvety Face Cream. Many people avoid using sun creams as they think they can't get a tan, they are too sticky or they just don't like the smell. Honestly there are so many products out there now, and so much new technology in skincare that all of these sun cream fears can be avoided and you can easily find SPF that is clear, dries quickly and even helps you tan faster! Both oils ideal for people with sensitive, normal to combination skin. It is water-resistant so great for people who love to be in the water or play beach sports.
If you hate using sun creams that leave you with white sheen dont worry this dry oil is perfect for you. It does not leave any white marks. It's hypoallergenic and paraben free for those that want to avoid parabens entirely. Expert protection from UVA and UVB rays with a luxurious dry-touch, and moisturising satin-finish oil texture and light fresh floral fragrance. Includes a Mexoryl®XL -based UVA and UVB filtering system, photostable and broad spectrum protection. Helps to protect against the harmful effects of the sun's UV rays.Tested under dermatological control, suitable for sensitive skin.
Both the suncare dry oil offers high protection for skin that tans easily. If you have pale skin or are prone to burning then you would need to choose suncare products with high protection. Vichy Ideal Soleil Suncare Oil have two variants SPF 20 and SPF 50. I have a medium skin tone which tans very easily but rarely burns. I tested this product on my body and neck during a few outdoor runs. Initially I thought wearing a body oil would be uncomfortable, but I found its general texture no worse than that of a many regular sun cream or lotion sunscreen even when things got sweaty. This suncare oil is enriched with Vichy Thermal Spa Water. It is clear, transparent Dry Oil spray spritzes directly onto the body with a nice even, thin spray and it doesn't need much rubbing in. It feels really smooth and silky on the skin but not at all greasy, and it dries really quickly leaving little trace of the product on the skin. It certainly makes your skin look satiny and luscious, and that sheen will enhance any tan you do have.
You could also take that sheen up a notch by mixing in some shimmery bronzer or pigment into the oil either directly in the bottle or in your hand right before you apply it. It has a nice, gentle floral scent that isn't too overpowering. I have used this sun protection product for a week or so now and have had no problems, it has done a great job of protecting my skin and I have had no sunburn at all. if you don't like oily or greasy sun creams, or have particularly oily skin, then I think this could work well for you. Both the suncare oil perfect for women and men of all ages who want to protect their skin from UVA and UVB rays. It is water-resistant.
So what do you think about Vichy Ideal Soleil High Protection Dry Oil SPF 20 and SPF 50(UVA+UVB)? Do you prefer Sun Lotion or Sun Oil? Have you tried any Sun Protection Products from Vichy Ideal Soleil range? Do let me know your thoughts in comments below. You can buy Vichy Ideal Soleil High Protection Dry Oil SPF 20 and SPF 50(UVA+UVB) from Boots, lookfantastic.com and feelunique.com.
Thank you,

Susanne Lahusen
session one
Hypermobility - Finding the Middle Way
This session explores how hypermobility affects the body and mind, and how to work with it in ourselves and others. Today's culture tends to see yoga largely as a tool to make us more flexible, and classes often attract people who already possess greater than average flexibility. Recent myofascial research and findings from the field of pain science are beginning to influence our approach to stretching and its effects, not only on fascia, but also on the nervous system. Hypermobility might look like an advantage, but it needs to be addressed with knowledge and awareness so it does not lead to pain and habitual tensions. The practical part of this workshop will be a vinyasa flow class that is structured to create awareness of initiation of movement, and to balance stability and mobility. The class will address the needs of hypermobile yogis whilst maintaining flow, interest and challenges for everybody. We will explore the choices we can make in sequencing, how to add experiential elements, our use of language, and how to broaden our perception of progression.
What can people expect?
Asana, theory, talk
session two
Balancing Stability and Mobility in Vinyasa Flow
This vinyasa flow class in structured to balance stability and mobility. Special emphasis will be given to making the class safe for hypermobile students while maintaining flow, interest and challenges for everybody. We will look at sequencing, language and how to broaden our perception of progression. Whilst we are striving for balance, we need to become aware of individual anatomical differences, our habitual tendencies, of how we initiate movement, and how we can find centring and focus without disturbing flow and ease of breath. Most of the sequences will be standing ones, with some supine and seated experiential work and relaxation at the beginning and end.
Susanne's early yoga background was in Astanga Vinyasa yoga, which she began to practise in 1991 with the late Derek Ireland. Other important influences include the release based work of Vanda Scaravelli, various somatic practices, and the rhythmic and energetic qualities of gyrokinesis and dance. Susanne holds a Yogacampus level 2 teaching qualification accredited by the British Wheel of Yoga. She also has a BEd in Movement Studies and Sports Science, an MA in Dance, and certification in Pilates, gyrotonic, gyrokinesis and the Alexander Technique. She teaches vinyasa flow at The Life Centre, somatics on the MA at London Contemporary Dance School, as well as experiential anatomy and sequencing on the Yogacampus Teacher Training and Yoga Therapy Diplomas. Whilst respecting the unique characteristics of these disciplines, Susanne's approach to teaching has evolved from an awareness of the elements that are fundamental to all movement.

text: There is a George Bernard Shaw quote that says we use mirrors to see our faces but works of art to see our souls. For me, these sources of inspiration come from art, science, philosophy. I am driven and fascinated by stories and narratives, and how they enlighten new and unknown territory. Using an analogy, ideas and knowledge have become the mirrors I seek instead of a reflection that is presented to myself. Inspiring me, my work and my pursuit in every project I am involved in, they also end up being a common theme in many conversations I have in circles of friends and co-workers. And the more I talk about them, the more people seem to be interested in knowing more about those mirrors that exist in the shadows. This space was created for sharing those, to bridge together the process and the result of my work without revealing any secrets of the trade. In essence, a reflective room with an open door for anyone wanting to visit it. Welcome to Done by Mirrors.
