|Is there any actor alive who looks cooler than
Chen Gang when he's got a cigarette dangling from his lips?
Old Stone (2016)
Dir. Johnny Ma
Starring: Chen Gang
Review by Greg Klymkiw
In China, it is better to let someone die in the street. If you try to help someone, to save the person's life, Chinese law places the responsibility and burden upon you - you become little more than criminalized and in fact, become a victim; a victim, that is, if you let the system screw you over.
In Johnny Ma's extraordinary first feature film Old Stone, Lao Shi (Chen Gang) is a cab driver who accidentally hits a motorcyclist in the street and soon realizes he should not have bothered to stop and most certainly not bothered to help. Because of China's idiotic laws, his life becomes a nightmare: his job is in jeopardy, his finances are drained and his family, by extension, are placed in peril, financially and emotionally.
|Even when Chen Gang does not have a smoke
dangling from his lips, he is still the coolest,
no matter what or how he is smoking a cigarette.
Still, it's not just the laws and bureaucracy that contribute to Lao Shi's woes. His need to help escalates to such obsessive degrees that he stands to lose much more than money. One begins to question his mental well-being as he madly, zealously and single-mindedly cares for the accident victim, who lies, deeply comatose in a hospital bed. The over-caring cabbie even begins to investigate the man's life and those who are closest to him.
Lao Shi's sense of responsibility becomes a flaw, a potentially fatal flaw (in more ways than in just the literary sense). Writer-Director Johnny Ma weaves a compulsive tale of a man caught up in a ludicrous bureaucracy which not only mounts, but does so well beyond the usual "through no fault of his own".
The film is framed via flashbacks and flash-forwards which eventually catch up to the central narrative. At first they involve the accident itself, but also several mysterious sequences wherein Lao Shi is following/stalking the motorcycle rider once the "victim" comes out of his coma and is released from hospital.
The movie is engorged with suspense and induces considerable anxiety in the viewer. That it slowly mounts to a chilling series of events which inspires a kind of horror and revulsion in us, not only speaks to the power of the picture, but Johnny Ma as a filmmaker with talent to burn.
One of the things I questioned in terms of the film's structure was the framing device that eventually meets up with the central narrative. I can't actually quarrel with its effectiveness, but at certain points while watching the movie and certainly in retrospect, I kept trying to imagine a movie that stripped this away and presented the whole thing in a straight-up linear fashion. Given the nature of the story and character, my feeling is that "straight-up" might actually have proven to be a lot more "unexpected" than its filmmaker might have imagined (if, in fact, the notion of a more linear approach was even considered, at either the script level or in the cutting room).
This, however, is not a quibble - not even a minor one - it's simply a question; one that only a genuinely intelligent and sophisticated work can inspire.
|Even though Chen Gang is not smoking a cigarette
in this shot, we will not hold it against him and proclaim:
Chen Gang is ALWAYS cool!!!
One of the odd feelings the movie instills is sheer frustration - at first with the external forces affecting Lao Shi, but eventually with Lao Shi himself. You keep wanting to slap the guy on the side of the head and yell, "Jesus Christ, dude! Knock it off. Stop caring! Stop allowing yourself to be forcibly face-fucked! Stop obsessing! START being an uncaring prick and move on!"
Of course, if he did any of those things there wouldn't be much of a movie.
What keeps our eyeballs, hearts and minds glued to the screen is the exceptional performance of Chen Gang. He infuses the role with so much humanity, doing so to the point in which we're feeling frustration and anger because he makes us care about Lao Shi so goddamn much. Gang also has charisma to burn. The camera absolutely loves him. I have no idea why this guy isn't a huge star. As far as I can tell, he's only been in one previous feature film (though he's apparently prolific in Chinese TV).
This guy's the real thing. I'd watch him reciting the telephone book.
Plus man-oh-man, he looks so cool smoking cigarettes. This is not an easy thing for anyone to do these days and frankly, any actor who looks as cool as Chen Gang does when he sucks back on cancer sticks, absolutely deserves stardom.
THE FILM CORNER RATING: **** 4-Stars
Old Stone is a Zeitgeist Films release playing in the TIFF 2016 Discovery program.

How Much Enthusiasm for Randomized Trials? A Response to Kevin Quinn and David Hoffman
We thank Kevin Quinn and David Hoffman for taking the time to comment in our paper. Again, these are two authors whose work we have read and admired in the past.
Both Dave and Kevin offer thoughts about the levelof enthusiasm legal empiricists, legal services providers, and clinicians should have for randomized studies. We find ourselves in much but not total agreement with both. To Kevin, we suggest that there is more at stake than just finding out whether legal assistance helps potential clients. In an era of scarce legal resources, providers and funders have to make allocation decisions across legal practice areas (i.e., should we fund representation for SSI/SSDI appeals or for unemployment appeals or for summary eviction defense). That requires more precise knowledge about how large representation (offer or actual use) effects are, how much bang for the buck. Perhaps even more importantly, scarcity requires that we learn how to triage well; see Richard Zorza's posts here and the numerous entries in his own blog on this subject. That means studying the effects of limited interventions. Randomized trials provide critical information on these questions, even if one agrees (as we do) that in some settings, asking whether representation (offer or actual use) helps clients is like asking whether parachutes are useful.
Thus, perhaps the parachute analogy is inapt, or better, it requires clarification: we are in a world in which not all who could benefit from full-service parachutes can receive them. Some will have to be provided with rickety parachutes, and some with little more than large blankets. We all should try to change this situation as much as possible (thus the fervent hope we expressed in the paper that funding for legal services be increased). But the oversubscription problem is simply enormous. When there isn't enough to go around, we need to know what we need to know to allocate well. Meanwhile, randomized studies can also provide critical information on the pro se accessibility of an adjudicatory system, which can lay the groundwork for reform.
To Dave, we say that our enthusiasm for randomized studies is high, but perhaps not high enough to consider a duty to randomize among law school clinics or among legal services providers. We provided an example in the paper of practice in which randomization was inappropriate because collecting outcomes might have exposed study subjects to deportation proceedings. We also highlighted in the paper that in the case of a practice (including possibly a law school clinic) that focuses principally on systemic change, randomization of that practice is not constructive. Instead, what should be done is a series of randomized studies of an alternative service provider's practice in that same adjudicatory system; these alternative provider studies can help to assess whether the first provider's efforts at systemic change have been successful.
Our great thanks to both Kevin and Dave for writing, and (obviously) to Dave (and Jaya) for organizing this symposium.

I would recommend stop mixing the foods together. Feed them the canned and chicken separate. I've never been a fan of mixing.I understand your concern, but getting rid of the dry and not relying on it is a good thing. You will know who is eating what because you are not free feeding any more. Keep a journal and record meals, times fed, who ate, who finished, who didn't, and so on.In my opinion, routine, consistency, is the most important thing to a cat. Changing up on them randomly is not effective, at least, not in my point of view. I would feed canned meals at certain times each day and the home prepared meals at certain times each day, gradually (when you are ready) increasing the number of home made meals and decreasing the canned servings.
I hate head colds.
Question about scales. Would a really good bathroom scale (like down to the ounce) work? That way, I could either weigh myself, and then weigh myself holding each cat, or weigh a carrier, and then the carrier with the cat in it. I don't think some of mine will sit still on a baby scale.
Well, I mixed some real chicken with cheap canned food last night. They ate some of it, but I ended up having to throw some out, too. Offered some of the better canned straight during the night, but they were not hungry.This is making me a little nervous. They are eating, but not as much as I am used to seeing them eat, and they don't all mob me in the kitchen when they hear the cans being opened anymore. Could this be because they are getting used to food that has less filler, and don't need as much to be satisfied? I admit that in a moment of panic, I even offered them a little bit of dry, but they wouldn't touch it. I started throwing most the kibble out - not just taking it away from them or putting it up, but actually putting it in the trash - yesterday, but still had some left. I think getting rid of it altogether scares me. I may have told this story before, but years ago (long enough that it was a whole different group of cats), I tried to switch to canned, and before I knew it, I had a rather secretive cat who, unbeknownst to me, had stopped eating altogether and ended up with fatty liver. It took a huge vet bill and a month of tube-feeding to get her healthy again. I know ditching kibble, and eventually all commercial food, is better for my cats, but I probably never would have worked up the courage to try again had this lot not taken a sudden dislike to what I was giving them. Still...I get a little freaked out to this day any time a cat does not seem hungry. Cats are my life, but dogs are so much easier to get on real food.
Yes, that is scary! That's why keeping a journal helps. I realize that's more commitment with 6, as opposed to 3!Also weighing them. If you can't get a hold of a baby scale just now, you should go ahead with the weighing yourself, weighing yourself holding them, or the carrier, method, at least. It's better than nothing.I think you are doing a great job!
I have the weight written on each carrier. I use a Weight Watchers scale, with cat in carrier. Deduct weight of carrier. The Weight Watchers scale does give ounces. I have weighed a cat at home, before going to the vet, and then compared the numbers. Same with humans. Spot on.
Raw will definitely be more satisfying! No fillers.On AVERAGE, my cats eat 5 oz a day each, divided into 3 meals. BUT you want to weigh them all OFTEN, so no one loses any kibble fat - if they are over-weight - too quickly. Some were fed more, when I first started out. Previous bad experiences tend to affect our future thoughts and actions. You are normal. I won't let a cat go more then 24 hours of not having food. In fact, if one skips ONE meal (or even picks at a meal)... my radar goes off.Are you feeding meals? I mean... each of mine have their own plate. I know exactly who is eating what and how much.
The fattest cats have already lost weight in the months since I took them off Science Diet. A couple of them are still a little heavier than I would like, but nothing like they were. I think part of the problem is that I am having a hard time wrapping my head around just how small an amount 5 oz. is, divided by three.
Totally OT, but I would ask for prayers from all who pray, for my housemate. She is 78 and has a nasty cold in her chest, with a temp. She will probably be okay, but it is still scary. She is a second mom to me.

Improved interface. "Safe Run" virtual environment protects against unwanted changes. Intelligent Application Control. Hardened against malware attacks. Improved spam filtering. Blocks exploits and leak tests.
Malware cleanup left behind many traces. Slowed system performance somewhat. Antiphishing module less effective. Rudimentary parental controls.
Bottom Line
Kaspersky Internet Security 2010 has everything you expect from a security suite and more. Its firewall is smart, the antivirus labs like it, and its "Safe Run" sandbox protects your system. It did not, however, ace our antispam and anti-malware tests, and it somewhat slowed system performance.
Intelligent Application Control
In addition to blocking hack attacks, a personal firewall should keep unauthorized programs from abusing your network and Internet connection. Kaspersky's approach is light years beyond the typical simpleminded firewall that asks what to do every time a new program attempts access.
Programs that are digitally signed or found in Kaspersky's whitelist are Trusted. These programs get full access to the network, operating system, and personal data. The software uses heuristic analysis to categorize unknown programs as Low Restricted, High Restricted, or Untrusted. The tougher the category, the less access Kaspersky permits.
In some cases, Kaspersky will check with the user before permitting specific system activity, but these pop-ups are rare and almost always indicate either actual malware or unique research-type software. For example, my browsing performance test uses a batch file that launches a script that in turn launches Internet Explorer. When Kaspersky reasonably found this behavior suspicious, I simply chose to allow it.
Some threats use sneaky techniques to access the Internet without triggering normal program control. I ran a collection of "leak tests" that harmlessly demonstrate these techniques; Kaspersky's intelligent application control blocked every one.
A program running in the new "Safe Run" sandbox environment can't make any permanent changes to the system. All file and Registry changes are virtualized; clicking Clear undoes all changes. It's similar to the ForceField feature of ZoneAlarm Extreme Security and even displays a glowing border (green where ForceField's is white). Launch your browser in this mode and surf without fear, or launch an iffy program without risk.Next: Better Spam Filtering

The physical and chemical properties of vinegar reflect the fact that vinegar is mainly a dilute aqueous solution of acetic acid.
This acid liquid which we call vinegar, is the product of two biochemical processes:
And it is this acid, which imparts the sour taste to vinegar along with its cleaning and antiseptic or germ killing properties.
Of course most vinegars are much more than dilute solutions of acetic acid. Depending on the fruit or feed stock they are made from, and the amount of processing, they will contain various amounts of minerals, vitamins, fiber, enzymes and other organic compounds.
These are all however, minor components in the vinegar even though they are major contributors to the product's flavor and aroma as well as its overall nutrition and health benefits.
The following bulk physical and chemical properties of vinegar, such as a malt vinegar, apple cider vinegar or distilled white vinegar, come from its major components - acetic acid and water:
As far as chemical reactions are concerned, vinegar is a dilute solution of acetic acid, so it has the same chemical formula as acetic acid.
A molecule of acetic acid contains two carbon, four hydrogen and two oxygen atoms which is often written as CH3COOH to reflect it's actual molecular structure:
The reaction between vinegar and baking soda is used by students of all ages to learn about chemical reactions and the properties of vinegar and at the same time to have some fun launching home made rockets or demonstrating erupting volcanoes.
The term "pH" is derived from "potential hydrogen" and refers to the amount of hydrogen ions present in solution.
Mathematically, pH is equal to the negative logarithm (base 10) of the hydrogen ion concentration in moles per liter, so if the pH of a solution decreases by 1 pH unit then its hydrogen ion concentration increases by ten times.
Pure water has a pH of 7 and is neutral whereas anything with a pH less than 7 is acidic and anything with a pH greater than 7 is basic.
The pH of vinegar depends upon how much acid is present, but most commercial distilled white vinegars contain 5% acetic acid and have a pH of about 2.4.
To put that in perspective, the following table compares the pH of vinegar to some other common solutions:
The density, or mass per unit volume, of a solution is used in many analytical calculations and can be measured with a hydrometer.
For a typical commercial vinegar with a 5% acetic acid content, the density is about 1.01 grams per milliliter.
The freezing point of vinegar, like the pH and density, depends on how much acetic acid is present.
A typical commercial vinegar with a 5% acetic acid content will have a freezing point of about -2 degrees Celsius (28 F).
An interesting use for the freezing point of vinegar comes up in the best selling novel "The Da Vinci Code" written by Dan Brown.
In it, he makes use of an ancient portable vault (a cryptex) to hide secret messages written on papyrus and wrapped around a fragile vial of vinegar.
The cryptex can only be opened up by dialing in the correct password. Any attempt to open it by force results in the vial breaking and the vinegar destroying the papyrus with its precious message.
Knowing that the freezing point of vinegar is only -2 degrees C, it would be a simple matter to place the cryptex in a freezer to freeze the vinegar and then to break open the vault without worrying about the vinegar destroying the papyrus and its message.
The boiling point of vinegar, like all the other physical properties of vinegar, depends on its acid concentration.
A typical distilled white vinegar containing 5% acetic acid (and 95% water) will boil at about 100.6 degrees Celsius (213 F).
Consider the acetic acid as a solute that raises the boiling point of pure water. The more acetic acid present, the higher the boiling point of the vinegar.
Pure acetic acid, called glacial acetic acid, has a boiling point of 118.1 degrees Celsius (244.5 F).
A material safety data sheet or MSDS is a sheet containing physical and chemical information on a particular substance. It quantifies that substance's risks, safety and impact on the environment.
Everyone can use these sheets, although they are mainly designed to provide workers and emergency personnel with procedures for handling and working with various substances in a safe manner.
A material safety data sheet (MSDS) for table strength vinegar (4.0 to 6.0% acetic acid) can be found online.(Web Link)
Each vinegar manufacturer, generally, will have his own MSDS to cover his own particular products.

What's the concept?
In South America, 'Asado' is a colloquial term for barbecue, but don't let the name deceive you: Asado in Downtown Dubai is very much a fine dining restaurant. The restaurant has an Argentinian focus, and includes plenty of delicious, traditional South American meats, (watch out for the baby goat on a spit displayed behind glass, as part of the open kitchen)
What's the food like?
The new menu that recently launched includes plenty of Argentinian classics, along with some newer dishes. There's a slow cooked rabbit and mushroom stew for starter, along with a wagyu beef carpaccio with balsamic reduction. For mains, the best option is to choose beef from the Argentinian pamas (the region in the country famed for it's fertile farmland) and the delicious baby goat if available (this tends to sell out fast!) Don't be afraid to bring pescetarians to the restaurant either, there's a great selection of seafood on offer, including a Chilean sea bass with squid ink and a tasty salmon cerviche, created to an equally high standard.
How was the service
The service was impeccable. Our waiter Mark, was on the ball and knew the menu inside out. He could chat easily about drinks that worked well with the menu, and explained a little about the cultural context of different dishes. He also recommended to sit outside for dessert (which is well worth doing if tables are available) to enjoy the great views.
What was the atmosphere like?
BBC Good Food Middle East visited the restaurant mid-week and it was pleasantly busy. There was a live Argentinian band playing (and happily, at a volume that you could still enjoy the conversation of your dining partner without having to raise your voice). Asado is one of the few restaurants in the city where the indoor and outdoor seating is equally pleasant: if you choose to dine indoors, most seats have a fantastic view of the theatrically designed open kitchen, whereas those sitting outdoors get some of the best views in Dubai of the Burj Khalifa.
Details: Around AED 400 pp without drinks, open daily 7pm-11.30pm. To book, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call +971 4 428 7888. For more information, visit Asado

Former presidential candidate Hillary Clinton may want to forget all about the presidential election, but the hits just keep coming. New research about the 2016 presidential campaign indicated she may have run one of the worst campaigns in years.
A study by the Wesleyan Media Project found that one of Clinton's mistakes was choosing to attack Trump rather than address issues and policy.
The study, published in the The Forum: A Journal of Applied Research in Contemporary Politics, found that Clinton's message was "devoid of discussions of policy in a way not seen in the previous four presidential contests."
That's pretty bad. But that's not all.
The study also reported that evidence suggested that "negativity in advertising can have a backlash effect" and that personally focused, negative messages "tend to be seen as less fair, less informative and less important than more substantive, policy-based messaging."
Clinton outspent her Republican rival Donald Trump on advertising, but yet her reasons why voters should choose her were unclear.
Her decision to focus on Trump's personality and whether he was fit for office left "very little room" for the former first lady to explain why she was the better choice, and that hurt her, the study found.
Clinton's campaign failures showed up in her crucial, unexpected losses in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania, where she didn't run ads until the final week in the campaign. By then, it was too late.
The paper suggested that Clinton's failure proved that messages matter.
"A message that is repeated endlessly does no good unless it resonates with a sufficient number of the right voters," the paper concluded.
And Hillary's message was meaningless.
Clinton failed at every step of her presidential campaign, but this research showed how much her ego got in the way. Even with a former president for a husband and a lapdog media pulling for her, she couldn't win because she was a lousy candidate with nothing to offer the American people but hate.

Environmental assessment rules to be extended
The environmental assessment regime in England and Wales is to be extended by the withdrawal of permitted development rights for so-called Schedule 2 projects liable to have significant effects on the environment. Permitted development rights are also to be withdrawn for projects likely to have a significant effect on sites designated under EC nature protection legislation.

God, the EPA and Climate Change Regulation
4 Comments · Posted by Andrew Stuttaford in Church & State, politics, Religion
WASHINGTON, D.C. — Speaking to three administrators for the Environmental Protection Agency on Wednesday, David Kepley, an elder and deacon at the Providence Presbyterian Church, quoted Leviticus.
"God said 'the land is mine; with me you are but aliens and tenants,'" he said. "'Throughout the land that you hold, you shall provide for the redemption of the land.'"
To be wasteful of the land's bounty … is not just unproductive, but is an affront to God.
The verses, Kepley said, allude to several themes. For one, God has encouraged us not just to draw sustenance from the land, but to replenish it — to act as stewards of Creation. For another, the verses compare humans to "renters" in God's house, meaning we can't just trash God's house with unmitigated pollution.
"To me this means that to be wasteful of the land's bounty or to despoil it with substances that are harmful to people or other life forms is not just unproductive, but is an affront to God," Kepley said. "In my view, the EPA has identified one of those areas where we humans have ignored our role as good stewards of the Creation."
Kepley was just one of at least 28 religious leaders who urged the EPA at two D.C. hearings on Tuesday and Wednesday not to weaken — and at times to strengthen — its proposed regulations on carbon emissions from coal plants. The proposed rule represents the Obama Administration's most ambitious move yet to combat one of the main drivers behind climate change.
…On Tuesday and Wednesday, leaders from Presbyterian, Episcopal, Evangelical, Lutheran, Methodist, Quaker, and Baptist congregations spoke out in strong support of the rule, with most speakers calling it a moral obligation to God. Leaders from Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, and Baha'i groups also testified in support of the rule.
Arguing for such rules on a scientific basis is fine, but this, well….
Taxpayers will, of course, have funded this
set of sermons 'hearing': Quite why escapes me.

Arguing on a scientific basis does nto necescarily have merit either.
The existance of a problem does nto in and of itself justify government intervention.
In 1900 in NYC each day 1,000,000lb of horseshit and 250,000 gal of horse urine were produced every day.
The automobile solved that problem.

"To be wasteful of the land's bounty … is not just unproductive, but is an affront to God."
To me this means, "Drill, baby, drill!"
CJColucci · August 4, 2014 at 4:56 pm
Obviously, the religious case for how we should treat the natural environment has no power to persuade those outside the faith, but it is not for those outside the faith to tell those within that they are incorrect about what their faith requires.
Ken Glick (EEI) · August 4, 2014 at 8:03 pm
I consider the religious or nonreligious issue of how we treat our environment to beirrelevant; common sense says that we have to protect the planet that sustains us. Faith simply does not enter into the discussion.

Police have arrested a 26-year-old man in the hit-and-run collision that injured four people outside a Denver restaurant early Sunday.
Larry Vo was arrested after calling police.
He was being held for investigation of vehicular assault, reckless driving and leaving the scene of an accident after a hit-and-run accident with serious injuries.
"He is cooperating with police," said Denver police spokesman Carlos Montoya.
Police recovered a silver 2002 Honda Civic Hatchback that was sought in the case.
The car has damage indicating it was in a recent crash, Montoya said.
The collision happened at 2 a.m. Sunday as people were leaving the Maxim Lounge on West Mississippi Avenue east of South Federal Boulevard after a fight.
The car sped through the parking lot of the Pho 96 Vietnamese Restaurant across the street and struck four people who had not been involved in the fight.
A husband and wife remain at Denver Health Medical Center in critical condition, according to a hospital spokeswoman. Another man was injured, and a woman suffered a concussion.
The driver later called police saying that he wanted to turn himself in, according to a news release.
In 2007, Vo was charged in Arapahoe County with theft, possession of burglary tools, menacing with a real or simulated weapon, and vehicular eluding. He pleaded guilty to reduced charges of reckless driving and reckless endangerment and served a three-year probation sentence. The burglary, menacing, theft and eluding charges were dismissed.

My Forays into Garment Sewing
I'm always a bit nervous that clothing won't fit right so the first time I try a pattern I make it out of sale fabric. It takes the pressure off of making it with the awesome expensive fabric I have in mind for the project. So here's my prototype.
It's a stash buster made with a green/grey fabric from Mrs. March's Collection by Lecien. I bought this fabric on sale several years ago. The pattern is a Grainline Studio pattern rated at level one beginner. It was the perfect level of sewing for me given my current level of busyness.
This does not mean that it went off without a hitch. Most of it did come together very nicely but right before I put the last sleeve in I received a phone call that was a little upsetting. This is what happened when I put the sleeve in.
That's right, it was inside out! I pulled out the stitches turned it right side out and started to pin it. The next night I finished pinning it and sewed it in again.
I noticed this tuck and on further inspection......
I realized I sewed the sleeve in upside down! Oh well lesson learned, hopefully. As they say the third time is the charm and it worked out in the end.
Here are the two Wiksten tanks I made previously. First the prototype. Made from now unknown green fabric I bought on sale...
and next the one I really love.
made from Elk Grove by birch fabrics. Expect to see the leftovers from this shirt featured in a group quilt in the future.
I'm linking up with TGIFF which is hosted by Jenn at Quarter Inch From the Edge this week.

It's nice to see there's a happy ending to the sleeve saga! So glad that you got things worked out, it's always hard to focus when other things are on your mind. I love both your tank tops, but I'm partial to the deer as well! :)

Kudos for continuing...I might have given up. Good luck with finishing. Your tanks are great.
- 18 March 2016 at 18:29
- Jenn @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge said...
These are lovely tops. I worry so much about sewing for myself... always afraid it won't fit. And I hate the idea of investing the time into making a prototype. Perhaps I need to push my limits! Thanks for linking up with TGIFF @ A Quarter Inch from the Edge!

I think you did a wonderful job with your Scout Tee prototype. Thanks so much for sharing your experience. I have had the occasional thought once in a while about trying garment sewing. Especially something using fabric as cute as those Elks! Maybe one day...
- 19 March 2016 at 17:24
- Sandra Walker said...
Oh! Seeing those Wiksten tanks (new to me, you must explain) makes me want to rush out and get some rayon, or some cotton lawn and make one! I haven't sewn garments for some time, well, Brady's pjs I guess count, but I miss it from time to time. Hope things are okay regarding the phone call. Hugs.

I like the quilting - the loops look like petals to me, as if you are doing great big daisies. I dither about garment sewing but really should have a go.

A short post from last week when the weather was warm and I had some freedom from heavy coats, scarves, and hats. One of my favorite dresses I've bought lately... I know it won't suit everyones' tastes and I can totally envision the slew of "grandma's tablecloth" comments. Buttt oh well..right?
Anyway, I found this dress at some random hippy-esque boutique in Wicker Park a couple weeks back and I just love the freeness and the flow and the vibe.. and I love it's shapelessness.. I just literally love everything about it.. I can definitely see myself wearing it all the time in the summer since it's so versatile. It's a little bit free-people-esque.
I paired it with some ankle boots, gold accessories, and a really pretty gold foil bag with intricate engravings! It was one of those outfits where I look back at the photos and I'm like... definitely should have worn a necklace or two with that! LOVE hindsight, right? But I still love the simplicity of it, anyway.
I have a collaboration with Victoria's Secret, Sheinside, and my huge project for the year all dropping within the next couple of weeks so stay tuned !!

|Alec & his Granny Julie
He loves the water jets & the bubbles
He is such an adorable wee boy & a delight to all of us
While Mum was here there was lots of tea drinking & chatter ... I try to always fit in a bit of stitching or creating while we are doing this.
I needed to make some more wool blanket hearts for my china bowl in the Cottage (which was empty)
|These are just made from scraps/offcuts of wool blankets
For a couple of days the sun shone brightly so we sat out on the deck table ... I had some revamps to give a coat or two of paint to . . .
The what-not shelf was a commision from a friend - she wanted it painted pale green so I decided to do all 3 items in the Amulet shade that I love so much
I finished the what-not & gave it back to my friend, then realised I had forgotten to take a photo of it.
You can just see it above in the picture & YES that IS Pippi trying to drink out of my water glass !!!!
I might add, there were several ginger hairs to pick out of the finished items I had painted !!!
The small wooden bowl was rescued by my friend Joyce from the Church Op Shop rubbish bin & gifted to me . . .
It is such a cutie .... I made the pincushion top from my Tilda fabrics & then trimmed it with some cotton lace & a gorgeous tape measure braid I found in my stash
Likewise the old tea kettle got the Amulet treatment . . .
. . . before being "doiley-fied" & a babies tears plant popped in the top
This was a rather unusual tea kettle in that it has a swivel lid still intact ... which I unscrewed & attached to the side with some jute twine
(This little number was sold this very morning to a lovely customer)
Well dear friends, now Mum is home again & the cat basket has been returned to the table against my better judgement . . .
. . . as you can see above ... Round 537 goes to Pippi & Blackie !!!***
I have orders needing completion & my head is spinning somewhat
Sometimes this can be overwhelming & it feels as though I have piles of mess everywhere . . .
. . . well I'm not too sure about dancing, but I shall keep plodding on
Thanks so much for your visits this rainy spring day
It is always lovely to "see you pop in"
Have a wonderful weekend dear friends & readers
with much love,
Julie, Blackie & Pippi Longstocking x0x0x

Living Life with Ritual, Sparking the Spiritual
By Phyllis Culp
We consistently observe the great capacity of Mexican culture to weave the rituals of everyday life into a web of meaningful existence, rich in family and community values.
At this Sunday's Unitarian Universalist Fellowship service, Viola Canales speaks about the simple, ageless, and important concept of finding, nurturing, and sharing one's own don—a unique gift or talent.
Ms. Canales provides personal examples of the juxtapositions of living in the fast-moving individualistic American culture and in the ritualistic, highly spiritual Mexican culture. She also shares insights on how to make the upcoming Thanksgiving and Christmas holiday experiences deeper as we ourselves experience them in our own adopted hyphenated culture.
Ms. Canales is in San Miguel de Allende this week as the second visiting author to children at rural schools through the Libros sin Fronteras program. Copies of her coming-of-age novel, The Tequila Worm, have been given to the students. Some of the children she will meet come from extremely poor communities and have never owned a book of their own before, much less met an author. She will tell them about the richness of roots and about not knowing English in first grade: "I cried every morning before going to school, for this was so overwhelming, confusing, but I had gone on and accomplished things that were important to me. And that they can, too."
She is currently a lecturer in law at Stanford School of Law and has written three books, Orange Candy Slices and Other Secret Tales, The Tequila Worm (El Gusano de Tequila) in Spanish, and a bilingual book of poems, The Little Devil & The Rose.
Early in her career, Canales served as a field organizer for the United Farm Workers and an officer in the United States Army, where she was a platoon leader at a Hawk missile battery and tactical director at a Brigade Fire Distribution Center overseeing Patriot and Hawk missile systems in West Germany. After graduating from Harvard Law School, she practiced law at O'Melveny and Myers in Los Angeles (while also serving as a Civil Service Commissioner for the City of Los Angeles) and San Francisco, and then headed up the westernmost region of the Small Business Administration under the Clinton Administration. Special musician Yoremem Jocobi, a San Miguel resident, grew up in the Mayo-Yaquis culture in the Mexican northern border state of Sonora. As a child she spoke only Yoremem (the language of the Mayo), a name she now takes as her own. Yoremem's don is playing guitar and singing heartfelt songs from her Mayo heritage.
The UU Fellowship meets every Sunday at 10:30am at La Posada de la Aldea, Ancha de San Antonio 15 and welcomes people of all ages, races, religions, sexual orientation, and gender identity. Visitors are invited to attend the service and then join the UUs for hospitality and discussion afterwards. Wheelchair accessible. For additional information, visit www.uufsma.org.

This is an "Exclusive Pre-release Screening" as it is not released until 27th June 2017!
The Writer with No Hands is a British documentary, which follows academic Matthew Alford as he tries to establish that the accidental death of Hollywood screenwriter Gary Devore was actually an assassination by the US government. The film premiered at Hot Docs in 2014 but was left undistributed for over three years. A second version of the film, with a new producer, score, and run time, is due for release on Amazon and iTunes on 27 June 2017, the twentieth anniversary of Devore's disappearance.
On Friday 27 June 1997, Devore had been driving home after completing a new feature film script. He was last seen at a Denny's Diner in the Mohave Desert around 1am on the morning of the 28th. The subsequent manhunt remained unsuccessful until the following July when an amateur detective located fragments of Devore's car next to the California Aqueduct near Palmdale.
The California Highway Patrol's investigation concluded that Devore must have driven the wrong way along the highway, crashed into the water and drowned in his vehicle.

By Saikat Chatterjee
LONDON (Reuters) - The dollar consolidated gains after hitting a one-month high on Thursday against a basket of currencies as U.S. Treasury yields rose, prompting investors to unwind some of their dollar shorts.
Hawkish rhetoric by the U.S. Federal Reserve has bond yields threatening to break out of their multi-month trading ranges, leaving market watchers dubious about a fundamental change in the outlook for the U.S. economy.
"In our view, this is a corrective move higher and the long-term outlook for the dollar still remained lower," said Stephen Gallo, European head of FX Strategy for BMO Financial Group in London.
The dollar has gained more than 1.2 percent against a basket of currencies (DXY) and is on track to post its best weekly performance this year on hopes that U.S. President Donald Trump's administration may be making progress on tax reforms.
On Thursday, the dollar was flat at 93.34 against a basket of currencies (DXY). It has gained 2.5 percent since hitting a 2 1/2-year low of 91.35 in mid-September. But on an annual basis, the dollar was poised for its biggest drop since 2004.
The tax proposal faces an uphill battle in the U.S. Congress, with Trump's own Republican Party divided over it and Democrats hostile.
But the plan's release, along with recent hawkish rhetoric from the U.S. central bank, has raised the likelihood of a U.S. rate increase by December to 70 percent compared with less than a third a month earlier. Speculators began to unwind short dollar bets, which had grown to multi-year highs.
"This is probably the best time for the U.S. to raise interest rates, as short-term growth indicators look robust and market volatility is near record lows and financial markets healthy and near record highs," said Yassir Benjelloun Touimi, a portfolio manager at Dalton Strategic Partnership LLP in London.
In an outlook report for the next 12 months, money managers at Pacific Investment Management Co said real gross domestic product is expected to grow 3 percent in 2018 with low near-term recession risks.
The U.S. 10-year Treasury yield (US10YT=RR) rose to 2.3590 percent, its highest level since mid-July and was nearing the top end of a trading range established since early May.
Including the current move, the U.S. 10-year yield has risen more than 12 basis points - putting it on track for its biggest two-day rise in more than seven months.
The dollar's gains were more pronounced against currencies where the domestic story has worsened in recent days, such as the euro <EUR=EBS> and the Japanese yen <JPY=>
Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe called a snap election as the main opposition Democratic Party threw its support behind a fledgling party led by Tokyo's popular governor, Yuriko Koike, in the Oct. 22 vote. The euro has struggled this week after the unexpected outcome of the German elections.

My repertoire of Cakes consist of two recipes:
I love this one as it is very easy to make and
I like using up bananas that have seen better days, as we are all trying to be less wasteful with everything especially food!
this banana loaf sounds great!
I love banana cake..thanks for sharing the recipe :) The one my Mom use to make, you can add chopped up walnuts as well to the mix, and have cream cheese icing on top (it makes it even less healthy..but tastes really good).
I love banana cake too! though i dont like eating the banana fruit but when it becomes a cake, it's yummy!! thanks for sharing the recipe and it looks yummylicious!
x susan
Banana bread is my absolute favourite thing. I go a bit mad whenever we have some at home. It usually doesn't even last 24 hours. And we are only two people in my household.... I have no self-control. :)
Looks very tasty. I do so love cake, and an easy to eat cake always a bonus - who am I kidding!!
Mmmmh, I love banana bread, as it is the best way to use up soft bananas (which I hate) :)

TORONTO, ONTARIO--(Marketwire - Nov. 21, 2012) - Dr. Glenys Babcock, President of Pragmora, is a recognized expert on the conflict in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and is available to provide on the current security crisis.
Dr. Babcock has conducted in-country research in the conflict region of the Congo, including in Bukavu and in Goma - the most important town in the region that was overtaken by the M23 rebel forces yesterday.
The situation is complex, evolving hour by hour, and misinformation abounds.

EXCLUSIVE: Eagerly awaited Tanzania poll a two-horse race
from ALLOYCE KIMBUNGA in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania
DAR ES SALAAM, (CAJ News) – TANZANIA, hailed as an African model for stability, democratisation and economic stability, will on Sunday hold what is anticipated to be the most competitive and unpredictable general elections since the attainment of independence in 1961.
The poll, which will be the fifth quinquennial to be held since the restoration of multi-party system in 1992, comes on the back of some several political gaffes by the ruling party while on the other hand, the opposition will approach the poll more united than past plebiscites.
Political campaigns commenced on August 22 and will cease on the day before the polling day.
Campaigning has largely been peaceful in the East African country, which, unlike most of its neighbours, has enjoyed relative political stability since independence, and whose economy has expanded rapidly thanks to strong tourism, telecommunications, and banking sectors.
The incumbent President, Jakaya Kikwete, is ineligible to be elected to a third term due to term limits.
The country's dominant ruling party, the Chama Cha Mapinduzi (CCM) has selected Works Minister, John Magufuli, as its presidential nominee;instead of the front-runner and former Prime Minister Edward Lowassa.
Interestingly, after failing to secure the ruling party's nomination, Lowassa defected to an opposition party that once labelled him as corrupt.
With the state set for an eagerly-anticipated poll that offers a major threat to the continent's longest reigning ruling party and the opposition's chances never been this brighter, CAJ News previews the favourites for top job in Africa's tenth biggest economy, with suggestions it will be a two-horse contention between Magufuli and Lowassa, the Umoja wa Katiba ya Wananchi (UKAWA) leader.
John Pombe Joseph Magufuli, who turns 56 on Friday, will be hoping for an early birthday present.
He is seen as the favourite to succeed Kikwete owing to the CCM's dominance of the political landscape for over 50 years now.
The party has dominated the political scene since the nation attained independence in 1961.
Following the restoration of multi-party politics, it has retained its popularity and the voters' confidence, winning all of the past four general elections (held in 1995, 2000, 2005 and 2010).
He has served in the cabinet as Minister of Works since 2010. Previously he was Deputy Minister of Works from 1995 to 2000, Minister of Works from 2000 to 2006, Minister of Lands and Human Settlement from 2006 to 2008, and Minister of Livestock and Fisheries from 2008 to 2010.
He has served as a Member of Parliament since 1995.
The Economist Intelligence Unit in its recent political forecast stated that "CCM's candidate is almost certain to become the country's next president."
Magufuli's emergence as the CCM candidate however has been overshadowed by the ructions within the ruling party.
More than 40 members of the party contested in the primaries.
In July, the party's Central Committee scrutinised the 38 presidential aspirants and selected five candidates for the consideration of its National Executive Committee.
The top five were Foreign Minister Bernard Membe, Magufuli, Justice Minister Asha-Rose Migiro, Deputy Minister January Makamba and Ambassador Amina Salum Ali.
Later, the National Executive Committee selected the three finalists: Magufuli, Salum Ali and Migiro.
Eventually, Magufuli was nominated as CCM's presidential candidate for the 2015 election.
Having beaten Migiro, a former UN Deputy Secretary General, and Ali, an
African Union Ambassador to the United States, Mugufuli's emergence as the candidate is a surprise.
Edward Ngoyai Lowassa's ambitions for the presidency have suffered a number of setbacks before.
In 1995, he was among the more than 15 CCM aspirants for the presidency, but was stopped in his tracks by retired president Julius Nyerere, who found him to have "enriched himself too fast."
This was in reference to his past tainted by allegations of corruption.Benjamin Mkapa won the contest within the party and also won the election and became Tanzania's third president.
In 2005, Lowassa strongly backed his friend Kikwete and the two were dubbed "Boys Two Men" because of their strong political union that eventually enabled Kikwete to defeat all his rivals within the ruling party.
In 2014, Lowassa faced a one-year ban from CCM after he was accused of starting his campaign for presidency ahead of the authorised time.
The ban expired in February this year, only to be extended by the CCM Central Committee on the grounds that their final report was still not ready.
In May, Lowassa eventually launched his presidential campaign in Arusha, stating his top priorities would be overhauling the country's education sector, reducing poverty, boosting economic growth and fighting corruption.
In July, the CCM Central Committee eliminated him from its list of
presidential aspirants, which came as a shock to many who viewed him as an inevitable candidate.
Having failed to get the nomination, Lowassa denounced the CCM as
"infested with leaders who are dictators, undemocratic and surrounded with greedy power mongers."
Lowassa left the party and instead joined Chama cha Demokrasia na Maendeleo (CHADEMA), ironically, a party that once denounced his as "one of the most corrupt figures in Tanzanian society."
He has been designated as the presidential candidate of a coalition of four opposition parties, OKAWA.
The four parties with differing ideologies are conservative/centrist CHADEMA party, the liberal Civic United Front (CUF), the social democratic NCCR–Mageuzi and the National League for Democracy (NLD).
Lowassa was Prime Minister from 2005-2008.
Prior to the influential position, he served in cabinet as Minister of State, Lands, Human Settlement Development, Water and Livestock Development and a Member of Parliament.
He will be banking on his vast experience in the political scene, a largely youthful population eager for change and the opposition's newly-found exuberance.
The 56-year-old is the only female presidential candidate and chairperson of the country's youngest political party, Alliance for Change and Transparency (ACT) Wazalendo.
The party received its permanent registration in May 2014.
It intends to reintroduce some of the principles of Ujamaa, the concept that formed the basis of Julius Nyerere's social and economic policies in Tanzania after it gained independence.
Opposition MP Zitto Kabwe formally joined the party in March 2015 following his expulsion from CHADEMA.
Mghwira's campaign is premised on bridging gender inequalities.
"What is it that men do in leadership that a woman cannot do? If we have women pilots, engineers etc, those are more difficult tasks than being a leader because mothers are leaders all over.
"Whether they have given birth or not, they are natural leaders," she has famously said ahead of the poll.
An activist, a lawyer and theologian, her father was a prominent leader in the Tanganyika African National Union (TANU) was the principal political party in the struggle for sovereignty in Tanganyika.
His United People's Democratic Party (UPDP) was registered in 1993.
The party did not field a presidential candidate in the 2005 election but supported Sengondo Mvungi of the National Convention for Construction and Reform-Mageuzi.
He was placed fifth out of ten candidates, winning a meagre 0,49 percent of the vote.
A lawyer of the Supreme Court, the 66-year-old leads the Chama cha Ukombozi wa Umma (CHAUMMA) founded in 2013.
He ran for the Presidency through the NCCR Evolution in 2010 when he emerged five of the seven candidates presidential seat after he received 29 638 votes equivalent to 0,31 percent of the vote valid.
He believes unemployment and lack of good governance are hindering the country's development.
The businessman leads the National Reconstruction Alliance, founded in 1993.
The little known Yembe leads the Alliance for Democratic Change (ADC), a
political party formed by former Civil United Front (CUF) members. It was registered in 2012 amid controversy its proposed flag, saying it resembled the CHADEMA.
He leads the left-wing Tanzania Labour party, founded in 1992.
The National Electoral Commission disqualified four candidates- Mchungaji Mtikila, Godfrey Malisa, John Lafichipaka and Omari Sombi- after they failed to meet the minimum threshold to qualify for the presidential race.
There are some 24,25 registered voters in this country of 49,25 million people.
The winning candidate will have to obtain more than 50 percent of all the votes cast otherwise a runoff will be held within 60 days.
