Dalhousie has made important strides in embracing a broader group of students, faculty and staff in recent years, including launching a strategic initiative on diversity and inclusiveness in 2015.
A new position that aims to further that goal was announced earlier this week during a reception welcoming Schulich School of Law Professor Naiomi Metallic as Dal's first Chancellor's Chair in Aboriginal Law and Policy. The Chair was made possible thanks to a generous donation by the Honourable Anne McLellan, Dal's chancellor.
On Monday, a group of Schulich School of Law faculty, students, alumni and staff, along with former colleagues of Metallic's, gathered in the Weldon Law Building's second-floor atrium to learn about her plans for the five-year renewable Chair term.
After Mi'kmaq educator and human rights activist Sister Dorothy Moore gave the opening prayer and blessed Metallic for making a better world for First Nations peoples, Sipekne'katik (Indian Brook) First Nation drummer Keagan Sack sang the Mi'kmaq Honour Song.
"It's a great day to be here," said Dal President Richard Florizone. "Saturday was Treaty Day, and events are still taking place on campus and around the city." He made everyone laugh when, after stating that he was excited for Metallic to begin putting her strategic plan into action as the first Chancellor's Chair in Aboriginal Law and Policy, he added: "No pressure!"
Florizone said that Dal takes the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada's Calls to Action seriously — in particular Action 28, which calls upon law schools in Canada to require all law students to take a course in Aboriginal peoples and the law. "We're proud of what we've done to foster diversity and inclusiveness at Dalhousie," he said, "but we know there's more we need to do."
Building on strong foundations
Schulich School of Law Dean Camille Cameron opened her remarks by recognizing that the reception was being held on traditional Mi'kmaq territory.
"I'm very proud of our Indigenous Blacks & Mi'kmaq Initiative, which was an inspired idea when it was established in 1989," said Cameron. "It has become a model for access to the legal profession across Canada and the U.S., and it continues to make a vital contribution to that goal. But we have to do more. I'm happy to say that we now have a dedicated group within the faculty taking us forward to respond to the Truth and Reconciliation Commission Calls to Action, especially Call to Action 28."
McLellan, a former Canadian deputy prime minister who did her undergrad at Dal, then earned a law degree here in 1974, has been Chancellor since 2015. She pointed to the positive changes that have been made in diversity and inclusiveness generally compared to when she was a student.
"When I was in law school, there was no Treaty Day," said McLellan. "I'm delighted to see Naiomi as this Chair's first scholar. She has an amazing personality, she exudes charisma and energy, and she will directly guide the creation of new initiatives to make both the law school and Dal more inclusive."
Chair to foster greater teaching, research
Metallic hails from the Listuguj Mi'gmaq First Nation, which is located on the Gaspé Coast of Quebec. She was a member of the IB&M Initiative while studying law at Dalhousie, earning her degree in 2005.
Metallic is starting her first year of full-time teaching at the Schulich School of Law after several years of guest lecturing while practicing law at Burchells LLP in Halifax. Students taking Constitutional Law, Indigenous Governance, Aboriginal Peoples and the Kawaskimhon Aboriginal Law Moot will benefit from her experience working as a lawyer for Indigenous communities in the Maritimes and beyond.
At the reception, Metallic praised both the IB&M Initiative and its director, Professor Michelle Williams. "I feel very fortunate to build on the great work of the IB&M Initiative and to push for positive change for Mi'kmaq and other Aboriginal peoples," she said. "The Chair gives me a wonderful opportunity to move this work along with more authority and legitimacy. Thank you, Anne, for your generosity and leadership in funding this Chair."

'Verus Art' is a Canadian company that makes touchable reproductions of famous paintings. For those who are visually impaired, the world of fine art is largely inaccessible. This company wants to help the blind experience priceless paintings by turning a visual experience into a tactile one.
As part of a collaboration with the National Gallery of Canada, Verus Art uses 3D scanning and digital reproduction technology to create reproductions of famous paintings. But unlike other reproductions, the works created by Verus Art feature tactile elements that reflect the color, texture and intricate brushstrokes of the original. The tactile paintings thus allow the visually impaired to experience the painting through the power of touch instead of sight.
The project is part of a larger movement to make museums more accessible to the visually impaired.

Just the mention of the numerals that make up this infamous day will forever conjure deep pain, sadness and anger in Americans.
And yet, while the horrors of that fateful day 12 years ago are so indelibly seared into our consciences, as the years have passed, we have also come to recognize this day as a tribute to the shining examples of heroism, patriotism, selflessness, compassion, kindness and resiliency.
On this day, as we reflect on the loss of innocent life and honor the American spirit of valor, we should also think of our local heroes — the men and woman of our municipal safety services who keep us safe and respond when safety has been breached.
We should also think of the many who have given of themselves over the years — in ways big and small — to make Burbank a better place.
Every city has those who radiate compassion or face down challenges to enhance the lives of others.

Clever Collages by Terry Gillam2 7 Share Tweet
Director Terry Gilliam, known for being a Python – that is a Monty Python member – as well as for his feature length films "The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus" and "The Brothers Grimm", will always be an avid illustrator and animator and remain a key proponent of art that involves crossing media.
Gilliam is a clever – I'd say 'ingenious' – collage maker as his collages-turned-animations often comprise cutouts from Victorian era photographs placed in a color wash, background scene.
Here's one of his characters or caricatures as they often depict people – famous people at that – made recognizable by the saturated colors and bubbly, rounded contours.
"I was torn in some ways because I loved these paintings" expresses Gilliam about his 'tearing' up photos of figures from famous artworks to place in surreal, often cheeky situations, such as with Botticelli's Venus shown in the BBC interview below.
Look around, you may recognize works, and artists that have been inspired by Gilliam!

So I put down that book and have started skim-reading through "Google Hacks" by Tara Calishain & Rael Dornfest. I'll tell you about it after I've gotten a little farther into it, but it looks good so far.

God, how great is it being a librarian, huh, getting all the great books (and probably in advance, too) and all?
Re: Google hacks. I love one of the simpler ones. Have you tried the different fake language translations of Google? The one with Klingon and the Swedish Chef and stuff? Such a hoot. :)

Usually I'm too busy to really pick through the choice stuff and I'm not really in an area that gives me access to the best stuff (except for computer related titles). But I am in a library every day so I can squeeze in a few minutes to grab something quite often.
Yeah, I've seen the alternative language Googles. Everytime I try to hate Google I find something cool they've done and they make me like them again!

[to andie] I always try to hate the Big Guys (like Microsoft, the US, Hollywood, etc.). It helps me stay honest (as opposed to just following along).
Actually that's not entirely true. Quite often I give people the benefit of the doubt. Even people everyone hates. Actually, that's what I usually do. I hate the people that everyone loves and love the people everyone hates. Something like that. Sometimes it's not as black and white as that but that's a good rough estimate.
[to Anonymous] I don't even know who you are! *laugh* Oh ok, I'll say something about them. Maybe even pictures.

Submitted by Roslyn Summerville on
Bartlett Library patrons learned all about lizards at the program "Lizard Lovers" on Saturday, Feb. 3, presented by Deb Krohn of FrogLady Presentations.
To open up the show, Krohn said she was going to bring out lizards that would make good pets.
The first lizards Krohn got out for the audience to see were her two Bearded Dragon lizards, Lavern and Shirley. She brought out a variety of small hats for them to wear, which made everyone laugh.
Bearded Dragons are from Australia, and they need a heat lamp and UV light to survive as a pet. Krohn showed how to pick them up correctly in the most comfortable way for them, so that their legs do not squirm everywhere.
A 3-month-old Bearded Dragon baby was brought out, which was approximately a fourth the size of the adult Bearded Dragons. His name is Peanut, and he is Lavern's own baby.
In the wild, Bearded Dragons dig a whole, lay the eggs, and then leave. The babies will hatch and need to start surviving on their own right away.
"What would happen if I set Peanut down in front of its mommy?" Krohn asked the audience.
Turns out, she would eat him.
Adult Bearded Dragons do not recognize the babies as their own kind. They are too small, and they see them as a tasty snack. That is the way it will be until Peanut is much bigger.
"They don't make very good parents," Krohn said.
Next to be brought out was Baxter, a Blue Tongue Skink, which also originally comes from Australia. Krohn explained that it got its name from its blue tongue. When a predator comes swooping in to snatch it up, the Blue Tongue Skink will stick its tongue out to confuse the predator into thinking that its poisonous due to the vibrant color.
After Baxter was put away, Krohn brought out a Gargoyle Gecko named Crunch. This type of Gecko comes from New Caledonia, has no eyelids, make good climbers and loves to eat rotten fruit. This lizard doesn't need UV light, and rather than a hot atmosphere, it likes it to be at room temperature.
Throughout her explanation of the lizard, Crunch kept jumping all over her, crawling up her sweatshirt and into her hood, making the audience laugh when she turned around to show them.
Crunch was put away to make way for Lady, a Crested Gecko. Unlike Crunch, Lady did not have a tail; it had fallen off at some point in her life. Krohn pointed out that these Gecko's tails can fall off when they feel scared or threatened, and it won't ever grow back.
After all the lizards who would make good pets were shown off, Krohn brought out the ones that would take a little more care than children were prepared to handle.
She took out a Green Iguana named Buddy. He clung to the front of her sweatshirt and stayed put as she showed him around the room. She said that Iguanas could live to be over 25 years old.
Next came a Chameleon named Rex. Unlike popular belief, Krohn said Chameleon's don't change color based on the background; they change color based on their moods.
For instance, if the Chameleon were feeling sad, tired, hungry, he would be a paler version of his usual colors. Now, if he were to be happy, or sees a female, then he would be as vibrant as possible. And, if he sees another male Chameleon, the spots on his body would turn black from anger.
The audience was fascinated when they saw Rex shake side to side on a fake potted bush on the table, and one child asked why he was doing that. Krohn explained that they shake to blend in when wind shakes the leaves on the trees.
The last type of lizard Krohn showed was an Argentine Tagu, which originally come from South America. She had two with her, Fireball and Chummy.
Fireball came out first, and he was in the process of shedding his skin, so everyone was able to see what that looked like on a large bodied lizard. Then Chummy came out, and amazingly, he was about twice the size of Fireball, who was already big to begin with.
She explained that Argentine Tagus are omnivores and they have big cheeks to scare away other males of their kind. Krohn said she has a leash for them, and they go for walks as if they were cats: She goes where they want to go.
Once the presentation finished, everyone was welcomed up to hold and pet a few lizards: The Bearded Dragons, the baby Bearded Dragon, Krohn held the Argentine Tagu while people pet it and some adults held the Chameleon.

I really wanted to post this last week but I just did not get it done. And officially Dias de Muertes is still going on in Mexico today.
God Bless all the friends and family that have gone before me. I think of each of you often. Though you may not be here, you live in our hearts and memories. All the kind things that you did in your life live on and reverberate out to those around us.
While we, who are still living, have no idea what lies on the threshold of the next life, look forward to seeing all our loved ones once again.
Pan de Muerto
original recipe can be found here.
1/4 cup milk
1/4 cup butter, cut into 8 pieces
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 package active dry yeast
1/4 cup warm water
2 eggs
3 cups all-purpose flour, unsifted
2 tablespoons orange water extract
1 teaspoon lemon rind
2 teaspoons sugar
Instructions: Bring milk to boil and remove from heat. Stir in margarine or butter, 1/4 cup sugar and salt.
In large bowl, mix yeast with warm water until dissolved and let stand 5 minutes. Add the milk mixture.
Knead until smooth. Return to large bowl and cover with dish towel. Let rise in warm place for 90 minutes. Meanwhile, grease a baking sheet and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Knead dough again on floured surface. Now divide the dough into fourths and set one fourth aside. Roll the remaining 3 pieces into "ropes."
On greased baking sheet, pinch 3 rope ends together and braid. Finish by pinching ends together on opposite side. Divide the remaining dough in half and form 2 "bones." Cross and lay them atop braided loaf.
Cover bread with dish towel and let rise for 30 minutes. In a bowl, beat egg white lightly.
When 30 minutes are up, brush top of bread with egg white and sprinkle with sugar, except on cross bones. Bake at 350 degrees for 35 minutes.
Makes 8 to 10 servings.

After selecting Arkansas wide receiver Jarius Wright with the 118th overall selection Saturday, the Vikings continued to bolster their offense with pick No. 128. The pick: Southern Cal's Rhett Ellison, a college teammate of first-round pick Matt Kalil and potentially a replacement for the recently retired Jim Kleinsasser.
It's a bit puzzling, with so many other needs, that the Vikings chased after Ellison, who's sort of a tight end/fullback hybrid.
Ellison figures to be more valuable as a blocker at the next level rather than a pass catcher.
The Vikings still have seven more picks Saturday, including one more in the fourth round, two in the fifth, one in the sixth and three in the seventh.

text: Hello and warm greetings to all, I'm not sure what to say in the way of an introduction, only that I greatly enjoy both mythology and folklore. As terms of interests, I enjoy listening to orchestral music, writing, reading* classic literature, books of mythology, compendiums of folklore; reference materials related to folklore (encyclopedias of symbols, stars, bestiaries, angels, &c.), pseudipigraphic texts, and all-things linguistics—from etymology to definitions. I do not, however, enjoy psychological analyses of folktales and mythology; I do not believe that we can attribute modern psychological causes to traditional tales borne out of a given people's quest for survival, geographic location, or surrounding culture. Again, I'm at a bit of a loss as to what I should put in here, so I shall conclude. I realise this is a well-established, yet not large forum, and I am a n00b here; hopefully I can, with time, work my way into the community. * More often than not, I do more slacking on the internet than reading, in spite of the fact I have a modest-sized personal library filled with many wonderful books I want to read, but for whatever reason lack the motivation of actually opening and reading.

Puscanturpa Norte, various activity. July saw multiple teams camped below Puscanturpa Norte (5,652m), hoping to complete routes on the columned rock buttress of the northwest face. British climbers Mark Pretty, Nic Sellars, and Sam Whittaker first attempted Pasta Religion (F7a+, Baudry- Daudet-Lombard, 2000) on the northwest face, ground-up, hoping for an onsight ascent. This might have been achieved were it not for a fall on the crux seventh pitch due to a broken hold. This pitch was then yo-yoed, while all others were climbed onsight. The climbing was often bold, routefinding could sometimes be tricky, and the difficulties were found to be high, with British 6b climbing on the third pitch, and the seventh and eighth graded E6 6b and E6 6a, respectively. After five days the team terminated their ascent at the top of the 12th pitch. After the first pitch (E3 6a) they note 10 consecutive pitches of E4 and above, or F6c+ to 7a+, making for a very sustained route. Above, looser terrain led to the summit ridge and a huge and hideous cornice. They then turned their attention to their proposed new line, but found it to be largely crackless. Their ethics forbade drilled protection, so with time running out the three left the area. The summit ridge also stopped a three-man Basque team from Pamplona, consisting of Iñaki Araiz, Iker Garcia, and Iñaki Garreta, who made the second ascent of the other French route put up in 2000, Macanacota (F7b A2, Avrisani-Faure-Pouraz), a climb that meets Pasta Religion at the top of its 12th pitch. The Basque team, climbing in capsule style, fixed the initial 250m and then climbed the route with two nights on the wall. Although the rock is very good, they did not find perfect cracks, just discontinuous lines and many pockets. Nevertheless, the terrain was well suited to natural gear. The three completed 14 pitches to reach the top of the First Tower, then climbed a little over one-third of the steep and difficult snow/mixed arête that leads to the top of the Second Tower (and toward the summit), before retreating. They note that the left edge of the Second Tower would be considerably easier but is impossible to reach from the top of the First Tower. The Basques found the quality of climbing good, the route always sunny, and report one bolt at each belay. They also believe that the hard rock up to the top of the First Tower could be climbed without a bivouac, if parties were to leave ice gear behind and travel light.
To the left a third party, Peruvians Diego Fernandez and Guillermo Mejía, made an attempt on the 1984 Italian Route (Antonietti-Bianchi-Mondinelli-Mora), climbing more than halfway up the face on July 29, at 5.10a. However, they were forced down by bad weather.

Title: Unraveling Charlie
Author: Donald McLean
These past several years have witnessed many despicable sex abuse scandals such as those concerning certain clergy associated with the Catholic Church, as well as the most recent horrendous story involving Jerry Sandusky of Penn State University. As a result, pedophilia has become a topic of increased concern and our conceptions about pedophiles are rapidly changing as we learn more about these mentally ill individuals.
According to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV), pedophilia is defined as recurrent sexually arousing fantasies, impulsive desires, or behaviors involving sexual acts with a child that occur over a period of at least six months. In most cases, the pedophile is at least sixteen years of age and at least five years older than the child. Those who suffer from pedophilia have a compulsion to abuse young children. And there is no one size that fits the profile of all these pedophiles. Unfortunately, very often some of these individuals are professionals entrusted with educating our youth or maintaining the well-being and health of young persons.
Donald McLean was only twelve years old when he began being molested by Charlie Schoeler, his sister's high school teacher. In his emotionally charged fictional memoir, Unraveling Charlie, McLean informs us that the events that he is recounting occurred over forty years ago, and although he considers his memory to be good, it is not perfect and thus he had to reconstruct some conversations and time-lines.
What is interesting is he clearly confesses that he does not have a problem disclosing that he was a victim of a pedophile, however, his reason for writing a work of fiction rather than non-fiction was that he didn't want to put anyone in a position where they could be identified and thus perhaps cast some blame on them for not intervening, particularly if they had some inkling that he was being molested.
Readers learn how McLean's relationship with Schoeler started as a bond of meaningful friendship where he could count on Schoeler as being his mentor and friend whom he could participate with in many interesting ventures where normally he never would have a chance to experience. And it began innocently where Schoeler would take McLean to the beach during the summer and skating during the winter months, all with the approval and permission of his mother who was delighted that someone was able to expose him to something she and her husband did not have the time or money to give their son and never even suspecting that something awful was going on.
McLean portrays it as "an emotional incubus to a twelve-year old. If you hold a pretty bauble up in front of most children, they're going to grab it." It also included being introduced to some of Schoeler's friends and summer vacation times spent at their homes located at a Retreat in Port Esther.
It didn't take very long where the relationship began to descend into something repugnant and despicable when Schoeler began touching McLean's private parts. McLean states that he was not shocked and he really didn't have any reaction, as he wasn't stunned or repulsed, although he may have been confused. It should be mentioned that generally children who are molested don't conceive as sex being something separate from the relationship itself. As McLean further mentions, "When I thought about it that night I was a little scared about what happened at the beach. In a strange way I was also a little thrilled. That's what monsters are supposed to do isn't it? Scare you and thrill you at the same time."
As for Schoeler, he was emotionally crippled and there was zero concern for the damage he caused to McLean that would lead to the latter's drug and alcohol abuse, drug peddling, self-blame, extreme anger, difficult interactions with his peers, girlfriends, and family. Briefly, as we discover, McLean was messed up, damaged and robbed of his childhood, yet, he continued to stay with Schoeler- something he questioned for many years.
What is even more baffling to many readers is that notwithstanding being molested as a child, McLean did grow up to be strong and normal. Moreover, he maintained a profound curiosity about Schoeler, whom he established an adult relationship, trying to fully understand the mental illness that imprisoned his molester.
Although disturbing
at times, nonetheless, Unraveling Charlie reflects
the well-known edict that writing about what you know can sometimes
lead to an impressive work of fiction, and in this case, it certainly
comes through with flying colors as it mirrors the realness of a
horrendous relationship, which McLean narrates with masterful
economy. In addition, readers may also take away a better
understanding of what makes pedophiles tick and come to the
realization, as McLean did, that it is a mental disease that
unfortunately at this time does not respond very well to treatment. I
commend McLean for his candid and honest narrative-something worth

John Constable, Stratford Mill, c. 1820
Source: Wikimedia Commons (National Gallery)
Anglers often appear in the paintings of John Constable, who had gone fishing on the Stour in his youth. In his 'micro-biography' Constable in Love (2009) Martin Gayford writes that 'angling was a perfect preparation for landscape-painting, which also involved sitting patiently in the countryside, trying to capture something. By a river with a rod in his hand, an imaginative boy would absorb impressions - the reflections on water, the shadows beneath the willows, the smells, the sounds - while waiting for a bite.' Constable wrote of a painting of a mill* by Jacob van Ruisdael, that he could 'all but see the ells [eels]' in its water. 'The most famous of all Constable's statements was sparked by the topic of fishing. In 1821 the younger John Fisher wrote, mentioning that he had been up to his middle in a fine, deep New Forest river and as happy as a 'careless boy'. He caught two pike and thought of John Constable. In reply, Constable produced an amazing sequence of free sensory associations:'
"The sound of water escaping from Mill dams... Willows, Old rotten Banks, slimy posts, & brickwork. I love such things... As long as I do paint I shall never cease to paint such Places......"In a similar vein, Constable exhibited the 'eye of a miller and relish of a connoisseur' in the way he praised another Ruisdael painting, Thatched-Roofed House with a Water Mill (Constable's father operated Dedham and Flatford mills). The quotation of Constable's is also referred to by Andrew Motion in an article he wrote at the time of the RA's 2006 Ruisdael exhibition:
'Constable's brother once said: "When I look at a mill painted by John, I see that it will go round, which is not always the case with those by other artists." It was a smart remark, and takes us to the heart of Constable's genius, where accuracy and authenticity generate a mighty emotional strength. This is what so pleased him about Ruisdael: we can hear it ... in his response to Thatched-Roofed House with a Water Mill. "It haunts my mind and clings to my heart," he told his friend Archdeacon Fisher, the very day he saw the painting, "and has stood between me & you while I am now talking to you. It is a watermill, not unlike Perne's Mill - a man & boy are cutting rushes in the running stream (in the 'tail water') - the whole so true clear & fresh - & as brisk as champagne - a shower has not long passed."'Constable moves here from technical appreciation with specialised, poetic vocabulary ('tail water') to a simile that describes the painting's overall atmosphere in terms of a taste which, as Gayford says, 'brings with it a feeling: the exhilaration of sparkling wine.'

Enter Brendan Rodgers - and don't be surprisedUnfinished business on Merseyside
The Unsworth shouts are poor, people seem to think being an ex player will have any sort of effect on the squad, it counts for shit nowadays - Shearer at Newcastle springs to mindWe've got a tiny amount of homegrown players, most of the foreign players won't be arsed if Unsworth used to play, we need a good manager, this appointment assuming Koeman goes is going to be critically important to the clubs future
I couldn't give a fuck if unsworth used to play for us or not. What he's done with the u23s is what people find exciting. Hence there's no yakubu, Ferguson or joe max Moore shouts. There's not even a Stuart Barlow shout
Well in that case there's loads more candidates - anyone who's done well with a youth team is in with a shout then?
It's time for us to learn from our mistakes and go with a results-based appointment. We've tried the "promising up and coming manager" in Martinez and we've tried the "champion player so must be a good manager" approach in Koeman. Neither worked. The only relevant questions should now be "What have you won? What have you achieved?" Cups don't count - any team in football can go on a lucky run.
Fuck it if Unsworth gets a chance he gets a chance, and I'm very glad we're doing well at U23, but we are spending a lot of money there and we are currently enjoying our so called 'golden generation' - I mean, how many u23 teams have a £6m cb? For me I just don't think he's done enough in his career so far and Realist makes a good point - ok if unsworth has nothing at all to do with the fact he's an ex player and a sound fella, I assume you'd all be fine hiring some random U23 manager from somewhere else? Would you fuck.but that's fine I get it, unsworth is someone the club should be quite proud of, I know I am - I'd just rather a manager who has experience and pedigree, but if it worked it would be a phenomenal story.
Not for me either but shouts of Rafa.
Look at Rafa's CV. He may be at Newcastle, and he may have been in the Championship last season but he has undeniable pedigree. He's won things everywhere he's been. I'd happily see him as our manager.
I'm more trusting of fellas when they have my cock in their mouth

|Horace Page and an anti-Chinese immigrant poster
Horace Francis Page was a four-term member of Congress who was first elected as a Republican in 1878. He represented what was then the 2nd Congressional District from 1873-1883. During the 47th United States Congress, he was the chairman of the Committee on Commerce. He lost his bid for a fifth term in 1882.
He is perhaps best known for the Page Act of 1875, which was the first restrictive federal immigration law and prohibited the entry of immigrants considered "undesirable." The law classified as "undesirable" any individual from Asia who was coming to America to be a forced laborer, any Asian woman who would engage in prostitution, and all people considered to be convicts in their own country. Page said he introduced the bill to "end the danger of cheap Chinese labor and immoral Chinese women" It imposed a fine of up to $2,000 and maximum jail sentence of one year upon anyone who tried to bring a person from China, Japan, or any Asian country to the United States. The Page Act created the policing of immigrants around sexuality which "gradually became extended to every immigrant who sought to enter America," and today remains a central feature of immigration restriction.
|Horace Page gravesite
He was an unsuccessful Republican candidate for state senate in 1869 and served as a major in the California Militia. In 1884, Page was a delegate to the Republican National Convention. After he left Congress, he resumed the practice of law in Washington, D.C. for about eight years.
He died suddenly at the Strathmore House on Larkin Street in San Francisco on August 23, 1890. He was survived by his widow Jane Walters Page and four children.

Lemonade is my drink of choice in the summertime. It's always within arms reach in the fridge, swing that door open and it will stare you right in the face. My penchant for a sour pucker was probably what convinced my husband that I would welcome anything that infused a little lemony goodness into the mix. He had a long, tall "Kiss of Summer' waiting for me yesterday when I came home in the evening and nothing else could have hit the spot like it did!
2 oz. Pinnacle Kiwi Strawberry Flavored Vodka
4 oz. lemonade
Splash club soda
Mix in a tall glass filled with ice and add a slice of lemon.

23 Ways Parents Are Blowing Their Money
Many products and services targeting parents can be a huge money vacuum compared to the benefits they provide. Here we unravel the top 23 ways families are blowing their money, either because they're opting for convenience over cost savings or they're just too busy to get what they need out of the item.
|© Rocky Lubbers (CC BY 2.0) via Flickr
1. Family memberships to the museum you visit once a year
From children's museums to science museums, you may be tempted to buy a family membership that could save you money over the long term. However, at about $150 a year, moms with one child need to frequent the museum at least 10 times to make up the membership cost — that's about once a month. Another way moms get tripped up with this cost: It's hard to let go of a favorite museum when the children have moved on to other things. Reevaluate your memberships as your children age: Is your child still stimulated by the exhibits, or is she beginning to get bored?
2. That pile of parenting magazines on your nightstand
Perhaps you signed up for every parenting magazine while pregnant with your first child, or maybe you simply renewed after receiving a subscription as a gift. But are you actually reading these magazines, or do they end up in the recycling bin before you've even flipped through them? Be aware of automatic renewal dates, and be skeptical over whether you have the time to read as many publications as you've signed up for.
3. Jumbo-size boxes of crackers that expired a year ago
Most moms love a good deal, but there can be too much of a good thing. Even if you get a slew of items for 50% off, there's no real savings if you didn't really need those things in the first place. Hooray for coupon-cutting moms who can stock up their pantry…unless their family can't possibly eat all that cereal before it goes bad.
4. Your languishing gym membership
A lot of people love the gym, and if you're one of those, then great. But for many of us, gym memberships turn into a monthly two-fold guilt trip: one for not working out, and one for wasting money. Spare yourself the agony and cancel your membership if you don't go to the gym more than a few times a month. Your wallet may be better off if you sign up for a weekly exercise class through your local recreational department or if you start a walking club in your neighborhood.

5. Bad books you'll never read
The Kindle and other e-readers make it so tempting to buy really cheap books. Usually, though, those books are cheap for a reason — they're just not very good.
6. Subscription boxes that just take up critical closet space
The idea is alluring: adorable, age-appropriate kids' crafts and activities delivered to your door each month, for a mere $25 or so. But are you really getting your money's worth? With just a quick perusal on Pinterest and a trip to the craft store, you can easily replicate a subscription box for your child. An added bonus: you can specifically tailor the activity to your kid's interests. The blogosphere has no shortage of dinosaur or Frozen-inspired crafts.
7. Fancy kid clothes your children outgrew
Retailers know you'll be tempted to buy that so-cute three-piece suit for your toddler, or that taffeta dress for your little girl. That's why they prominently display those outfits right where you enter the kids section of the store. But here's what it won't tell you on the tag: Your kid may not ever get a chance to wear those clothes if you buy them on a whim. If you don't have an actual occasion for your child to wear those fancy outfits in the near future, then keep walking.
8. Daily Starbucks trips
We've all heard the numbers: buying a $5 latte at Starbucks just three times a week adds up to $780 a year. As a busy mom, it's nice to treat yourself from time to time, but keeping the coffee shop trips to a minimum can save some serious dough (maybe enough for an even more expensive treat). Crunched for time while hauling around the kids in the morning? Ask your husband to fill up the coffee pot at night so you can just push the button when you wake up each day.

9. Dumb smartphone apps
In 2013, consumers spent $10 billion on Apple apps alone, making it a huge cash crop for businesses. But are moms really gaining anything with these purchases? From tip calculators helping you round up the dollars to baby timers telling you when to change your child's diaper, many of these apps are almost insulting to the modern day mother. Let's all agree to set down the smartphone and let our noses tell us when we need to change that diaper.
10. Snacks on the go when you can make your own with Ziploc
Everyone loves a quick snack, which is no surprise considering global snack sales grew 2% over the last year, according to Nielsen. As a mom, it's easy to drop $10 or $15 on snacks and drinks while you're out running errands with cranky kids. Instead, keep those bills in your wallet by storing an extra box of granola bars in the car, or add an extra bunch of bananas to your grocery list to grab on your way out the door.
11. Impulse buys you make just to keep your kids quiet
A 2013 study revealed that the average consumer spends $114,293 on impulse buys throughout his or her lifetime — that could easily cover college tuition expenses. While you may not think that number applies to you, curb your own impulse spending by planning your grocery list in advance, and firmly saying "no" to your kids' wishes for cartoon-laden junk food. Over time, they'll learn important budgeting skills from your example.
Tip: Kids and Money
12. The food fungus that's growing in your fridge right now
By planning ahead and sticking to your grocery list, moms can also help eliminate unnecessary food waste. This is important because we Americans throw out 40% of the food we buy each year. Imagine all the money, energy and landfill space saved if families saved even just a fraction of that amount.
13. Baby "necessities" (did you ever use that wipes warmer?)
When you're a first-time mom, it can be hard to distinguish what you will actually need when the baby arrives. Avoid spending hundreds, if not thousands, of dollars on unnecessary items that will clutter up your house. Start off with the bare necessities – a crib, car seat and stroller or carrier – then see if you actually want to use some of the less essential items, like a changing table.

14. Movies theater trips before age 10
Wise Geek estimates that the average family of four spends $80 on each trip to the movies. If your kids are little, they may not even make it through the whole show without falling asleep. Save the trip to the big screen for when your kids are older and can appreciate the splurge.
15. Redbox fees
We've all been there: it's a Tuesday night, there's no line at the Redbox kiosk and you've just been dying to see the latest blockbuster. But is it likely that you're going to end up watching that movie before the weekend? The average Redbox rental was $2.46 in 2012, but the daily rate is only $1.20; those extra fees can really add up over the course of a year. Instead of impulse renting, plan a family movie night in advance so you can quickly return your DVD and avoid any late charges.
16. Groupon/Living Social deals that you never redeem
According to a 2011 study by Rice University, 22% of deal coupons from sites like Groupon and Living Social go unused each year. The car detailing service across town or barre class in the city may seem like a good deal, but before you click "buy," think realistically about your schedule and ability to make use of those coupons. You could save yourself a bundle by passing every now and then.
17. Brand loyalty
Some purchases may legitimately offer better quality under a brand name, but there are plenty of products that are actually the same whether you're buying the name brand or off-brand. Milk, baking ingredients, bleach and many over-the-counter medicines are just a few examples of items that offer the same quality no matter the name on the box.
18. Humiliation when your kid pitched a fit at the pizzeria
The average American spends $232 each month eating out. Multiply that for a family of four and that's a whopping $928. Is that amount worth your time, begging and pleading with your kids to "please sit down!" and "be quiet!" at the restaurant? Be realistic about whether such nights are actually fun for you or not. Would a "make your own pizza" night at home make everyone happier?
Tip: Foods Worth Making at Home from Scratch
19. Trying too hard around the holidays
Birthdays, Christmas and other celebrations can really take a toll on the family budget. In fact, in a 2011 Parenting.com poll, responding moms admitted to spending an average of $271 per child for Christmas that year. Parents should be the ones to set expectations, not kids, so if you're looking to cut back on spending, tell your kids to offer Santa options on their wish list, rather than a list of demands.
20. Losing out on discounts and paying unnecessary fees
Once you're a mom, life spins at warp speed. Things have changed, and they changed quickly. Very likely, your spending and saving habits have changed too. Are you still holding onto a high-interest retail credit card to a store you rarely ever frequent any more? Are you missing out on loyalty discounts you could get by liking a favorite retailer on Facebook? Have you signed up for so many automatic bill payments that you're frequently getting pinged for overdraft fees? Take a mommy time-out to look over your accounts and see if you're missing out on savings that could benefit the life you're living now — not the pre-children version of you.
21. Hosting Ladies' Night Out, with a pricey catch
Lots of moms earn supplemental income by selling products they use, like makeup or essential oils through in-home parties and demonstrations for friends and family. It's great to support your friends' entrepreneurial efforts but not when it's negatively impacting your own family's income. Never buy anything out of pure obligation and don't be embarrassed to decline making a purchase.
22. Trying to have as many toys and fun as the neighbors
By now you may have realized that comparing the development of your child to another's is never a good idea. You'll either feel bad that your child is so far ahead of your friend's kid or you'll wonder what is wrong with yours. Likewise, no good feelings come out of trying to one-up all the moms around you by always giving Junior the latest and greats toys and gadgets and enrolling him in trendy classes. Keep the focus on what your children want and need (and what you can afford), and let other mommies brag all they want.
23. Character pictures on bubble bath, cups, sneakers, ...
Does your kid really need the yogurt with Dora's picture on it? Or the bubblebath with Spider-Man's mask? You're paying extra for those character licenses, and for many products, the picture on the box or container shouldn't matter.

He angered the Haredi community even more this week with his proposed two-year budget that would cut payments for child support, a move that would be felt in the Haredi community, where families have a higher than average number of children. Money for yeshivas also would disappear.
Levy said on the Kol BaRama radio program that Haredim "should share in the burden, to integrate into the job market, stop being parasites drawing on the Israeli public's resources… You can't keep leaning on those who pay taxes, who enlist to the army, who serve the country."
He immediately apologized for the use of the word "parasites" and then defended himself with a routine of "some of my best friends are Haredim."
"I still visit the rabbis and pay them respect. I hold great respect for tradition and culture, and I come from a religious home," he said.
Levy said that regardless of the faux pas, his point stands. "You are citizens of equal rights, thus you should be equal in your obligations as well."
Haredi Knesset Members lost no time in criticizing Levy and Lapid, who irritated them even more in the Knesset on Monday when he told Haredim, "I understand you're going through tough times. Weren't you sitting in the government which created the deficit? Were you on Mars?"
He said the Haredi MKs are partly to blame for a bloated government deficit because of funding for yeshivas and other funding for the Haredi community.
Lapid came in for across-the-board criticism, even for posting Facebook messages on the Sabbath Haredi MK Moshe Gafni of Yehudat HaTorah said Lapid posts on the Sabbath because he loves it and wants a fight."
"I suggest to my fellow hareidi MKs not to play into his hands," he added. "He comes and says, 'We'll deal with the Haredi Jews.'"

Leading Quotes
You've seen a general malaise in consumer enthusiasm to shopping at malls, so that's been a contributing factor (to lower department store sales) and there's also a bit of malaise in terms of interest in leading (department store) brands. That might be because department stores are getting a little stale and they lack freshness. - Richard Church
You've definitely got to be careful. That last pitch he could have hit 450 feet. Their whole lineup is awesome. They're approaching a major-league record for homers. With the tying run at the plate, everyone in that lineup you approach as if they can hit a home run. Young hit a tough pitch. He showed why he's leading the major leagues in hits. I just tried to keep the ball down against Teixeira. - Huston Street

We took the L train from Lorimer Street
a few stops southeast this afternoon
to the start of the Second Annual McKibbin Street Fair on the block of the McKibbin Lofts.
The street fair is a project of Potion Collective,
an evolving, diverse community of musicians and artists
based in Bushwick whose mission is to support and nurture the arts by creating outlets
for artists and enthusiasts
across all mediums to develop, produce and promote their art.
It was a fun event and we're sure since we were there before things got hopping, it's even livelier and crowd-filled about now.
As the New York Times wrote a couple of years ago,
To spend a few days at the McKibbin lofts
is to experience what it is to be young,
hungry for acceptance,
and willing to put up with just about anything
in order to gain a foothold in the city's
competitive, and thriving, underground art
and music scenes.
This could have been Greenwich Village 60 years ago, or SoHo 30 years ago, or the East Village in the 1990s.
When we got there, the band Miss ng was performing on the McKibbin stage on the north side of the street,
and then Erik Meier did a set on the Potion stage on the south side of the street.
We enjoyed them both and really liked
Miss ng's cover of "Go Ask Alice," but then we're like sixty years old so what would you expect.
The age factor also made us tired after teaching last night and this morning at Brooklyn College,
so we stayed about an hour and then went back to Lorimer Street for what we know nobody else at the McKibbin Street Fair needed: a nap.
But it's really thrilling to live in Brooklyn at a time like this
when interesting stuff and people are all around us.
And while we were there, there was a lot to see,
like great dancing.
Artist/Poet/Emcee/Bboy Nelson "CHIEF 69" Seda was doing body art.
And even a fairly established artist like Antonio Tovar was there with some of his beautiful work.
Sadly, while we were on McKibbin Street, nobody was playing pin-the-tail-on-the-donkey
or hopscotch - yet, anyway.
But there was a lot more going on.
We thought the McKibbin Street Fair was a lot of fun even for old people, at least those who can appreciate things like the songs by Erik Meier (joined later by Bill Batholomew), which were really good.
We are grateful to Potion Collective for being in Bushwick and would have liked to stay longer if we had been younger and less tired.
The street fair was the bomb, something we'd like to see in other places.

Provocative, Ironic and Disturbing
Oleksandr Kadnikov is a Ukrainian art photographer who is often described as "an ironic conceptualist" and "an extravagantly provocative photo artist."
Maryna GUDZEVATA, WU senior editor, Recently met the photographer in person and discovered new facets of his art and his personality.
Welcome to Ukraine Magazine has been rather regularly publishing Oleksandr Kadnikov's photos, taken in foreign lands and in Ukraine. But it was fairly recently, at the First Kyiv International Biennale of Contemporary Art Arsenale, that I saw the photographer's talent in a different perspective. It turned out that Oleksandr is much into contemporary art photography.
Incidentally, this Arsenale exhibition proved to be a major art event in Ukraine in 2012, at which many leading and foreign artists exhibited their art. Among the foreign artists represented were Ai Weiwei, Yayoi Kusama, Jake and Dinos Chapman. The curator of the exhibition was David Elliott, a well-known cultural historian who has directed some of the most innovative and dynamic museums of modern and contemporary art worldwide.
One of the first things that I discovered about Mr Kadnikov was his modesty. He did not mention any of his one-man shows or exhibitions in Ukraine and abroad in which he had taken part. And among such exhibitions were those that had been held in Cologne, Germany, in 2010, in Bratislava, Slovakia, in 2009. He has been an active participant of several art groups which promoted new ideas in the art of photography.
Mr Kadnikov is forty-five years old; he was born and lives in the city of Simferopol, the capital of the Crimea.
It was practically by chance that he became a photographer. The technical school to which he applied had a department of photography and instead of enrolling at the shoemaking department as he had originally intended, he chose to study photography.
It did not take him too long to realize that it was art photography, not just technical side of it, that attracted him most.
"I wanted to be creative, to study the world through the lens of my camera, to find what others look at but don't see," said Mr Kadnikov in a conversation with me.
When he was a student, Kadnikov, together with his fellow student, wanted to organize an exhibition of their photographs which were inspired by surrealism in art, but when the headmaster of the technical school of which Kadnikov and his friend were students, saw the photos he didn't allow them to be exhibited.
In the late 1980s, when the Soviet Union, of which Ukraine was still a constituent part, he addressed himself to exploring social problems which society faced then. In the conservative atmosphere of the Crimea, where the soviet power still held all the key positions, his photography caused a highly negative reaction (in Kyiv, Ukraine's capital, the mood was already quite different and social themes in photography were if not welcome but tolerated).
Once, when he was taking photos of beggars, the police interfered and took away his camera. The policemen who tried to prevent him from "conducting anti-soviet activities" (the soviets had always been trying to hide social problems rampant in their society), wrote an indignant letter to the newspaper for which he worked, demanding a repressive and restricting action, but the paper ran a highly critical article instead, accusing the local police of interfering with the freedom of the press and speech. This and similar incidents caused the KGB, the infamous soviet secret police, pay a closer attention to him but he was not arrested — the times of their power and stifling grip on society had passed.
Mr Kadnikov had his first exhibition held in Simferopol in 1988 but soon after the opening it was closed down. It was the local communist party bosses who insisted it be shut down — they labeled it "anti-soviet" and "provocative."
The social theme has continued to be strong in his art ever since. Some of his works, dealing with social issues, were shown at Arsenale.
Kadnikov finds his participation in the Arsenale exhibition to be the biggest achievement in his creative life. "When I saw the list of participating artists and found my name among them… It was a moment of happiness, you know".
The photographer does not simply capture scenes from life — he arranges the compositions and stages the scenes, so in a way, his photos are "installations" captured and frozen in photos.
He introduces the figures of people, and uses objects and symbols which are familiar from the soviet times. The people who appear in his photos are often aggressive and it is the photographer's ironic attitude that help soften the starkness of the situations depicted. The photographer issues a warning — these things have not been consigned to oblivion, they are still with us, and the human rights in this country have not been established and secured once and for all.
"I'm playing with associations, memories, with soviet legacy, and I'm issuing a warning," says the photographer. "Back in the soviet times, many people wanted to live in a society of freedoms and happiness. Now we sort of have those freedoms but there is no peace in our hearts. The reality of today is a far cry from what we hoped we would have. Many people are nostalgic, they remember only the good things and forget the terrible things. They choose to forget never ending shortages, long lines in the stores, the poverty and joyless existence. In my works, I try to remind people of the soviet realities."
The soviet legacy is still with us; the soviet ghosts are still wondering around. The remnants of the soviet past can be detected in little and big things of life, they are passed from generation to generation. The soviet spirit lived and still lingers on in education, in "New Year trees" as Christmas trees are still called, in books and films from the past which are still read and watched.
Mr Kadnikov's photos are portraits of those soviet ghosts which, when you recognize them, hit you like a punch in the head. Many of those who realize, thanks to Kadnikov's photos, that the creeping sovietism still persists in the heads and in social institutions feel confused. Some of the photos are like scorching flames — they cause pain and make one think.
Mr Kadnikov's photos look at the life around us in a very specific way — they are full of paradoxes, nonsensical things, funny things, twisted realities and incongruities.
The photographer takes all sorts of other photos too — official meetings, festivals, cultural events, landscapes and views. He loves his Crimea and his photos reflect this love.
I find Mr Kadnikov's photos to be ironic, philosophical, sad, cheerful, peculiar, enigmatic, annoying, nonsensical, wise and sometimes too complicated to be assessed and appreciated at first glance.
The photographer creates with his photographs absurd worlds which disturb and make you think of profound things such as the sense of life and of love. And you begin to appreciate more such simple but fundamental things as food, sleep and the sense of wellbeing.

Most of you guys by this point already know I'm a sucker for Lightroom, but not so much for black & white photos unless it really adds to the images. To be honest, part of the reasons why I don't use too much black & white is because I'm not really sure how the color wheel works, and how the colors influence black & white photography. Luckily, in this week's episode on AdoramaTV, Mark shows you how color can affect your black and white pictures. Watch as Mark demonstrates specific techniques that can be applied in Lightroom or similar editing software to make your black and white photography more impactful. If you're unsure how to work the histogram, you can watch the video below to get a better idea.

What started from a simple plunge and a struggle to explain their name has now become a beloved store delighting adults with an eclectic range of objects and knick-knacks. Joie de Vivre is nestled in the colorful college town of Cambridge, Massachusetts, where it has served the community for over 30 years with a unique selection of items from postcards and puzzles to kaleidoscopes and American crafts that appeal to almost any budget. A MOVA Globe retailer since 2008, Joie de Vivre owner Linda Given took some time out of her day to talk with us about how she started her business, how she first encountered MOVA Globes, and how she selected her fancy name.
Tell us a little bit about how Joie de Vivre began.
Joie de Vivre was started a bit out of desperation. I had dropped out of college, and spent the next ten years doing things as assorted as waitressing, making rolling pins and cutting boards in Vermont, working in a bookstore, working in a gallery. In my early thirties, I felt that I had to try to find a better way to support myself. It was important to me that I do something I felt good about, and as I had always enjoyed my retail jobs, decided to try opening a store.
Why makes you a proud independent retailer?
I am proud to be an independent retailer because I think small owner-run businesses wind up being unique in a way that larger businesses cannot be. And I'm a "big" believer in "small is good" – I think smaller businesses are more personal and friendly on the whole.
What makes your store unique? Why do your customers love shopping there?
I think Joie de Vivre is unique in the way all small owner run businesses are – it is a reflection of one person's taste – something that really can't be duplicated. Joie is also unique in that we offer things for sale that range in price from 25 cents to over $500 – and we treat all items – and customers – with equal respect. I think our customers love shopping here because they know they will find unusual items, and because they know we will try to help them with whatever their needs happen to be, whether buying a baby present or a retirement gift, something just plain silly like a yodeling pickle , or something beautiful – like a kaleidoscope or a piece of jewelry – or something fascinating – like for example – a MOVA Globe!
How are you impacting the community?
I think – or rather, I hope – that we impact our community just by our presence. That sounds grandiose, but I mean it more in the sense that we are a very small and very friendly store, and have become friends with many of our customers. We also try to keep the spirit of the store friendly to all – won't sell anything crude or mean, and so are completely child friendly. We like to talk to people and get to know them. We know their children, and as we have been in business 31 years now, we have seen kids who were 8 or 9 when we opened, come in and bring their own young children.
What makes the city of Cambridge interesting and why should people visit the area?
Cambridge is an interesting city. We get lots of foreign visitors, and many are there because they want to visit Harvard University. But the city is filled with interesting little shops, great restaurants, wonderful museums, and a great variety of different people who really care about trying to make the world a better place.
When did you first discover MOVA Globes?
I first saw a MOVA Globe years ago when an inventor friend (Rufus Seder) brought Shaw Lin to my store – along with a large MOVA Globe. It was very large – and very expensive and at that point, just seemed out of reach price wise – I can't even remember if wholesale was even an option at that point, but I was instantly mesmerized. And I was thrilled when I several years later saw the smaller globes offered at the New York Gift Show.
What are has the general response to the MOVA Globes?
Our customers are completely fascinated by MOVA Globes. We often keep one in our front window and people come inside in a kind of trance and walk up to it trying to figure out how it works – we then direct them to the ones we keep right at our front desk – the easier to talk about and also to monitor. (at one point we displayed one farther away from desk and someone didn't realize it wasn't attached to the base, tried to pick it up, dropped it and broke it along with a few things on the shelf underneath. But – I have yet to encounter anyone who was not entranced – it is a truly magical object, and even though I've been looking at them for three or four years – the magic lasts. The brain cannot quite figure out what it is seeing, even when explained.
Which model is your favorite
I can't say I have a true "favorite" model – we sell the 4.5 inch globes in about 6 styles. If forced to choose, I guess I would have to say I like the antique beige and the cobalt blue with silver best. Though I suspect I'm going to really like the seafoam green Cassini Terrestrial when we get it!
One last question – why the name Joie de Vivre? Any memorable interactions with customers about it?
I spent an evening with a few friends and a bottle of wine, choosing a name for my store, and finally, settled on Joie de Vivre a French expression that is somewhat inexactly translated as the Joy of life. Joie de Vivre seemed to sum up the feeling I wanted – a store where everything sold would be something that would bring a little joy to my customers, be it a twenty-five cent plastic goldfish or a hundred dollar kaleidoscope. For our twentieth anniversary a few years back, we made up a bunch of buttons. Some featured our name and logo but the most popular was the small blue one with the phonetic spelling: "zhwah duh VEEV-ruh." It's fun to have something to give away to shoppers from out of town, or anyone who professes great affection for the store. Just a few months ago a man came in looking distracted. "What exactly is this place called?", he asked. "Joie de Vivre!", I replied. "Really?", he said, looking quite amazed. "And…what does it mean?". I explained. It was a lazy afternoon so I gave him the long explanation. "That's crazy", he said. "I had no idea what it meant, or that it was here. I was walking by on my way to the Square. I just had an argument with my wife. She said I had absolutely no joie de vivre." I gave him a few buttons. "Now you do" I said. There is a little something in a name.

English rose
I've combined the image with a die cut and embossed circle, using a Marianne die, and punched leaves made with a Woodware punch. Do any of you have any tips for reviving an old, tired punch? I know about cutting sandpaper to sharpen it, but in the case of this one the mechanism seems to be getting a bit sluggish, and it isn't accessible for me to squirt some WD-40 on to it. The grandchildren love this punch and punch dozens of leaves every time they visit, and I think it's getting old and worn out - a bit like me!
I've finished it with a few pearly flowers and some punched butterflies.
I am sharing this with
The Crafter's Café - Flowers

Beautiful design with these leaves, the groups of tiny embellishments and the roses topper! Lovely image, so sweet and elegant!!ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing your lovey work at the butterfly Challenge #59!
No your OK Jane. You have punched butterflies on your pretty card. The pojnt of the challenge was to make everyone revalutate their punches and breath some fresh life into them. I didn't want just die cuts as that would defeat the object. But no problems here. Other than sand paper I don't have any other Tips for reviving punches. You may have to resort to investing in a new one. I only have two rose bushes in my garden. Both the old English rose variety but they flower every year. One white one and a red one. Thnkyou for fluttering by my challenge where your card will be entered twice. Hugs Mrs A.ReplyDelete
Such a pretty card Jane, a beautiful image and lovely design.ReplyDelete
Pretty card! Love your design! Thanks for joining us at Glitter 'N' Sparkle!ReplyDelete
Beautiful card, love that shade of pink. I wonder if punching the lubricant sheets that you buy for paper shredders would help? It looks a fabulous punch, I can see why you want to keep it going. Cara xReplyDelete

1. What part of Philly are you from? Are you originally from Philly?
- We live in South Philly right now and I have lived in the Philadelphia area my entire life, though I was not born here.
2. How tall are you?
- 5'4"
3. How old is your husband?
- 56
4. How long has your husband been playing music?
- My husband has been a professional musician since he was 10 years old.
5. How do you style your hair when it's down?
- I braid it when it's wet and sleep on it, then take them out in the morning.
6. How did you quit smoking? How long were you smoking before you quit?
- Nicorette, tobacco pouches, and a lot of patience. I smoked for nearly 8 years.
7. Do you work out?
- No.
8. What do you do for work?
- My husband works. I am a freelance writer and a trained cosmetologist, and I also do graphic design on the side.
9. Is it true that KISS tried to buy Pentagram songs and your husband wouldn't sell them?
- Yes.
10. What nationality are you and what nationality is your husband?
- I am Norwegian and Italian, he is Jewish.
11. How many tattoos do you have and what are they? Who did your tattoos? Do you have any piercings?
- I'm not sure how many I have. I have a half sleeve and about 4 or 5 other smaller ones. They're all pretty traditional designs. I've gone to a lot of different artists but most of them were done by T at Philadelphia Eddie's. I have both nostrils pierced and my septum pierced but I rarely wear jewelry anymore. I've had more piercings in the past that I've taken out over time.
12. Where do you shop?
- I shop mostly online, sites like net-a-porter.com and thecorner.com. I get a lot of stuff on eBay (except for leather bags which are usually never a good idea to buy on eBay, if I got $5 for every fake Givenchy Nightingale I saw listed I'd be a multi millionaire). I get some other stuff like pants and t-shirts at angryyoungandpoor.com. I've been a customer there for about 10 years and they have great basic clothes for cheap. Joan Shepp is probably my favorite shop in Philly. I also commission some local designers to make stuff for me.
13. What is your skincare routine? Have you always had good skin?
- Just Dove soap & moisturizer. I haven't always had good skin. I think the only real solution to acne is to wait it out until you're older. Unless it's really bad, then Accutane really works but I understand it badly dries out your skin.
14. When is the documentary coming out? How did you feel about cameras following you around to the doctor and stuff?
- Summer 2010. I don't like being photographed or filmed like Bobby does, but I didn't mind the cameras. The filmmakers are good friends of ours and always worked with our schedule. After awhile you just sort of forget they're around, unless it's an interview.
15. What kind of music do you listen to? What are your favorite bands?
- A lot of '68-'72 hard rock and heavy metal, a lot of punk rock from my youth. Some of my favorites are Aerosmith, Uriah Heep, Captain Beyond, Black Sabbath, Budgie, Charged G.B.H., Bathory, Oxymoron, Veruca Salt.
My husband went to go buy me a new memory card for my camera so I'll have some eye c@ndy in the next few days.
Really sweet purple Exploited shirt I found on eBay. Unline Lindsay Lohan, when I wear a shirt with a band logo, it usually means I listen to them.
Vintage Kreator tour shirt, also from eBay ... it is ripped up with tons of holes, but I still love it. The panther on my arm thinks it's awesome, also. Jil Sander sunglasses.
Hope everyone had a great weekend. xo

New Windows 10 Update
Yesterday, Microsoft released a new version of Windows 10. Eager to test out the new changes, users have already begun to grab the latest update.
Army Builder and Hero Lab users, if you've moved your license to a different computer within the past 120 days, it's possible that your license reassignment will need to be authorized by our staff after you upgrade to latest version of Windows 10. To make it easier for many users, we 've made it more likely that your reassignment will go through without requiring this authorization. We hope this change will make the license reassignment a smooth process for many of you!
Future Windows 10 Updates
Unfortunately, Windows 10 updates invalidate the criteria that Hero Lab has used for years to determine "what is a unique computer", which is why you may need to reactivate your license. The good news is that we have a solution for this which is currently in testing – we want to make sure it's bulletproof before rolling it out. Once this change is made, this problem shouldn't occur in the future. We're hoping to release this change to users sometime in January, assuming we don't run into any problems.
Getting Ready for Game Day
Despite the changes we've made in the meantime to address this latest release, it's still possible that you'll need an authorization from our staff. With this in mind, we recommend that you and any other users launch Hero Lab before the game, to make sure you don't need to reactivate your license before using the product.
Also, please keep in mind that while our support staff tries to get license reassignment requests processed as soon as they can, it may take 2-3 business days to process your request. We'll be working hard to get everyone's license reassignment squared away as quickly as we can.
As always, if you run into any issues with Hero Lab, Realm Works, or Army Builder, please contact our tech support team by emailing email@example.com.
