Previous part (2)
Siena, in Gubbio and Orvieto, the great revivalists Bernardine, Catherine,
Fra Roberto, held absolute rule over body and soul. For the moment
Baglione and Oddi kissed each other; all feuds were stayed; a man might
climb the black alleys of a night without any fear of a knife to yerk him
(the Ancient's word) under the ribs or noose round his neck to swing him
up to the archway withal. So Catherine brought back Boniface (and much
trouble) from Avignon, and Da Lecce wrote out a new constitution for some
rock-bound hive of the hills, whose crowd wailing in the market-place knew
the ecstasy of repentance, and ran riot in religious orgies very much
after the fashion of the Greater Dionysia or, say, the Salvation Army. And
how Niccolo Alunno would have painted the Salvation Army!
So it does seem that the two great passions of Umbria burnt themselves out
together. They were, indeed, the two ends of the candle. When the Baglioni
fell in the black work of two August nights, only one escaped. And with
them died the love of the old lawless life and the infinite relish there
was for some positive foretaste of the life of the world to come. Both
lives had been lived too fast: from that day Perugia fell into a torpor,
as Perugino, the glass of his time and place, also fell. Perugino, we
know, had his doubts concerning the immortality of the soul, but painted
on his beautiful cloister-dreams, and knocked down his saints to the
highest bidder.[1] Vasari assures me that the chief solace of the old
prodigal in his end of days was to dress his young wife's hair in
fantastic coils and braids. A prodigal he was--true Peruginese in that--
prodigal of the delicate meats his soul afforded. His end may have been
unedifying; it must at least have been very pitiful. Nowadays his name
stands upon the Corso Vannucci of the town he uttered, and in the court
wall of a little recessed and colonnaded house in the Via Deliziosa.
Meantime his frescos drop mildewed from chapel walls or are borne away to
a pauper funeral in the Palazzo Communale.
[Footnote 1: See, however, what he has to say for himself in Chapter V.
In his finely studied _Sensations_ M. Paul Bourget, it seems to me,
flogs the air and fails to climb it when he struggles to lay open the
causes of poor Vannucci's embittering. If ever painting took up the office
of literature it was in the fifteenth century. The _quattrocentisti_
stand to Italy for our Elizabethan dramatists. This may have produced bad
painting: Mr. George Moore will tell you that it did. I am not sure that
it very greatly matters, for, failing a literature which was really
dramatic, really poetical, really in any sense representative, it was as
well that there led an outlet somewhere. At any rate Lippi and Botticelli,
to those who know them, are expressive of the Florentine temper when Pulci
and Politian are distorted echoes of another; Perugino leads us into the
recesses of Perugia while Graziani keeps us fumbling at the lock. And
Perugino's languorous boys and maids are the figments of a riotous erotic,
of a sensuous fancy without imagination or intelligence or humour. His
Alcibiades, or Michael Archangel, seems green-sick with a love mainly
physical; his Socrates has the combed resignation of his Jeromes and
Romualds--smoothly ordered old men set in the milky light of Umbrian
mornings and dreaming out placid lives by the side of a moonfaced Umbrian
beauty, who is now Mary and now Luna as chance motions his hand. How
penetrating, how distinctive by the side of them seems Sandro's slim and
tearful Anima Mundi shivering in the chill dawn! With what a strange magic
does Filippino usher in the pale apparition of the Mater Dolorosa to his
Bernard, or flush her up again to a heaven of blue-green and a glory of
burning cherubim! This he does, you remember, with rocket-like effect, in
a chapel of the Minerva in Rome. But it is the unquenchable thirst of the
Umbrians for some spiritual nutriment, some outlet for their passion to be
found only in bloodshed or fainting below the Cross, some fierce and
untameable animal quality such as you see to-day in the torn gables, the
towers and bastions of Perugia, it is the spirit which informed and made
these things you get in Perugino's pictures--in the hot sensualism of
their colour-scheme, the ripeness and bloom of physical beauty encasing
the vague longing of a too-rapid adolescence. The desire could never be
fed and the bloom wore off. Look at Duccio's work on the facade of San
Bernardino, Duccio was a Florentine, but where in Florence would you see
his like? What a revel of disproportion in these long-legged nymphs, full-
lipped and narrow-eyed as any of Rossetti's curious imaginings. Take the
Poverta, a weedy girl with the shrinking paps of a child. Here again
(exquisite as she is in modelling and intensity of expression) you get the
enticement of a malformation which is absolutely un-Greek--unless you are
to count Phrygia within the magic ring-fence--and only to be equalled by
the luxury of Beccadelli. You get that in Sodoma too, the handy Lombard;
you have it in Perugino and all the Umbrians (in some form or other); but
never, I think, in the genuine Tuscan--not even in Botticelli--and never,
of course, in the Venetians, Duccio modelled these things while the Delia
Robbia were at their Hellenics; and a few years after he did them came the
end of the Baglioai and all such gear. The end of real Umbrian art was not
long. Perugino awoke to have his doubts of the soul's immortality. No
great wonder there, perhaps, given he acknowledged a merciful heaven....
I chanced to meet an old woman the other day in a country omnibus. We
journeyed together from Prato to Florence and became very friendly. Your
dry old woman, who hath had losses, who has become, in fact, world-worn
and very wise, or like one of Shakespeare's veterans--the Grave-digger, or
the Countryman in _Antony and Cleopatra_--has probed the ball and
found it hollow; such a battered and fortified soul in petticoats is
peculiar to Italy, and countries where the women work and the men,
pocketing their hands, keep sleek looks. We had just passed a pleasant
little procession. It was Sunday, the hour Benediction. A staid nun was
convoying a party of school-girls to church; whereupon I remarked to my
neighbour on their pretty bearing, a sort of artless piety and of
attention for unknown but not impossible blessings which they had about
them. But my old woman took small comfort from it. She knew those cattle,
she said: Capuchins, Jacobins, Black, White and Grey,--knew them all.
Well! Everybody had his way of making a living: hers was knitting
stockings. A hard life, _via_, but an honest. Here it became me to
urge that the religious life might have its compensations, without which
it would perhaps be harder than knitting stockings; that one needed
relaxation and would do well to be sure that it was at least innocent.
Relaxation of a kind, said she, a man must have. Snuff now! She was
inveterate at the sport. The view was very dry; but I think its reasoned
limitations also very Tuscan, and by no means exclusive of a tolerable
amount of piety and honest dealing. Foligno, by mere contrast reminds me
of it--busy Foligno huddled between the mighty knees of a chalk down, city
of fallen churches and handsome girls, just now parading the streets with
their fans a-flutter and a pretty turn to each veiled head of them.
As I write the light dies down, the wind drops, huge inky clouds hang over
the west; the sun, as he falls behind them, sets them kindling at the
edge. The worn old bleached domes, the bell-towers and turrets looming in
the blue dusk, seem to sigh that the century moves so slowly forward. How
many more must they endure of these?
It is the hour of Ave Maria. But only two cracked bells ring it in.
Lovely and honourable ladies, it is, as I hold, no mean favour you have
accorded me, to sit still and smiling while I have sung to your very faces
a stave verging here and there on the familiar. You have sat thus enduring
me, because, being wrought for the most part out of stone or painter's
stuff, your necessities have indeed forbidden retirement. Yet my
obligations should not on that account be lighter. He would be a thin
spirit who should gain a lady's friendly regard, and then vilipend because
she knew no better, or could not choose. I hope indeed that I have done
you no wrong, _gentildonne_, I protest that I have meant none; but
have loved you all as a man may, who has, at most, but a bowing
acquaintance with your ladyships. As I recall your starry names, no blush
hinting unmannerliness suspect and unconfessed hits me on the cheek:--
Simonetta, Ilaria, Nenciozza, Bettina; you too, candid Mariota of Prato;
you, flinching little Imola; and you, snuff-taking, wool-carding ancient
lady of the omnibus--scorner of monks, I have kissed your hands, I have at
least given our whole commerce frankly to the world; and I know not how
any shall say we have been closer acquainted than we should. You, tall
Ligurian Simonetta, loved of Sandro, mourned by Giuliano and, for a
seasons by his twisted brother and lord, have done well to utter but one
side of your wild humour? The side a man would take, struck, as your
Sandro was, by a nympholepsy, or, as Lorenzo was, by the rhymer's appetite
for wherewithal to sonnetteer? If I understand you, it was never pique or
a young girl's petulance drove you to Phryne's one justifiable act of
self-assertion. It was honesty. Madonna, or I have read your grey eyes in
vain; it was enthusiasm--that flame of our fire so sacred that though it
play the incendiary there shall be no crime--or where would be now the
"Vas d'elezione"?--nor though it reveal a bystander's grin, any shame at
all. I shall live to tell that story of thine, Lady Simonetta, to thy
honour and my own respect; for, as a poet says,
"There is no holier flame
Than flatters torchwise in a stripling heart,
... a fire from Heaven
To ash the clay of us, and wing the God."
I have seen all memorials of you left behind to be pondered by him who
played Dante to your Beatrice, Sandro the painting poet,--the proud
clearness of you as at the marriage feast of Nastagio degli Onesti; the
melting of the sorrow that wells from you in a tide, where you hold the
book of your overmastering honour and read _Magnificat Anima Mea_
with a sob in your throat; your acquaintance, too, with that grief which
was your own hardening; your sojourn, wan and woebegone as would become
the wife of Moses (maker of jealous gods); all these guises of you, as
well as the presentments of your innocent youth, I have seen and adored.
But I have ever loved you most where you stand a wistful Venus Anadyomene--
"Una donzella non con uman volto," as Politian confessed; for I know your
heart, Madonna, and see on the sharp edge of your threatened life, Ardour
look back to maiden Reclusion, and on (with a pang of foreboding) to
mockery and evil judgment. Never fear but I brave your story out to the
world ere many days. And if any, with profane leer and tongue in the
cheek, take your sorrow for reproach or your pitifulness for a shame, let
them receive the lash of the whip from one who will trouble to wield it:
_non ragioniam di lor_. For your honourable women I give you Ilaria,
the slim Lucchesan, and my little Bettincina, a child yet with none of the
vaguer surmises of adolescence when it flushes and dawns, but likely
enough, if all prosper, to be no shame to your company. As yet she is
aptest to Donatello's fancy: she will grow to be of a statelier bevy. I
see her in Ghirlandajo's garden, pacing, still-eyed, calm and cold, with
Ginevra de' Benci and Giovanna of the Albizzi, those quiet streets on a
visit to the mother of John Baptist.
Mariota, the hardy wife of the metal-smith, is not for one of your
quality, though the wench is well enough now with her baby on her arm and
the best of her seen by a poet and made enduring. He, like our Bernardo,
had motherhood in such esteem that he held it would ransom a sin. A sin? I
am no casuist to discuss rewards and punishments; but if Socrates were
rightly informed and sin indeed ignorance, I have no whips for Mariota's
square shoulders. Her baby, I warrant, plucked her from the burning. I am
not so sure but you might find in that girl a responsive spirit, and--is
the saying too hard?--a teacher. Contentment with a few things was never
one of your virtues, madam.
There is a lady whose name has been whispered through my pages, a lady
with whom I must make peace if I can. Had I known her, as Dante did, in
the time of her nine-year excellence and followed her (with an interlude,
to be sure, for Gentucca) through the slippery ways of two lives with much
eating of salt bread, I might have grown into her favour. But I never did
know Monna Beatrice Portinari; and when I met her afterwards as my Lady
Theologia I thought her something imperious and case-hardened. Now here
and there some words of mine (for she has a high stomach) may have given
offence. I have hinted that her court is a slender one in Italy, the
service paid her lip-service; the lowered eyes and bated breath reserved
for her; but for Fede her sister, tears and long kisses and the clinging.
Well! the Casa Cattolica is a broad foundation: I find Francis of Umbria
at the same board with Sicilian Thomas. If I cleave to the one must I
despise the other? Lady Fede has my heart and Lady Dottrina must put aside
the birch if she would share that little kingdom. _Religio habet_,
said Pico; _theologia autem invenit_. Let her find. But she must be
speedy, for I promise her the mood grows on me as I become
_italianato_; and I cannot predict when the other term of the
proposition may be accomplished. For one thing, Lady Theologia, I praise
you not. Sympathy seems to me of the essence, the healing touch an
excellent thing in woman. But you told Virgil,
"Io son fatta da Dio, sua merce, tale,
Che la vostra miseria non mi tange."
Sympathy, Madonna? And Virgil hopeless! On these terms I had rather gloom
with the good poet (whose fault in your eyes was that he knew in what he
had believed) than freeze with you and Aquinas on your peak of hyaline.
And as I have found you, Donna Beatrice, so in the main have they of whom
I pitch my pipe. Here and there a man of them got exercise for his fingers
in your web; here and there one, as Pico the young Doctor of yellow hair
and nine hundred heresies, touched upon the back of your ivory dais that
he might jump from thence to the poets out beyond you in the Sun. Your
great Dante, too, loved you through all. But, Madonna, he had loved you
before when you were--
Donna pietosa e di novella etade,
and, as became his lordly soul, might never depart from the faith he had
in you. For me, I protest I love Religion your warm-bosomed mate too well
to turn from her; yet I would not on that account grieve her (who treats
you well out of the cup of her abounding charity) by aspersing you. And if
I may not kiss your foot as you would desire, I may bow when I am in the
way with you; not thanking God I am not as you are, but, withal, wishing
you that degree of interest in a really excellent world with which He has
blessed me and my like, the humble fry.
Lastly, to the Spirits which are in the shrines of the cities of Tuscany,
I lift up my hands with the offering of my thin book. To Lucca dove-like
and demure, to Prato, the brown country-girl, to Pisa, winsome maid-of-
honour to the lady of the land, to Pistoja, the ruddy-haired and ample,
and to Siena, the lovely wretch, black-eyed and keen as a hawk; even to
Perugia, the termagant, with a scar on her throat; but chiefest to the
Lady Firenze, the pale Queen crowned with olive--to all of you, adored and
adorable sisters, I offer homage as becomes a postulant, the repentance of
him who has not earned his reward, thanksgiving, and the praise I have not
been able to utter. And I send you, Book, out to those ladies with the
supplication of good Master Cino, schoolman and poet, saying,
E se tu troverai donne gentile,
Ivi girai; che la ti vo mandare;
E dono a lor d' audienza chiedi.
Poi di a costor: Gittatevi a lor piedi,
E dite, chi vi manda e per che fare,
Udite donne, esti valletti umili.

Yesterday, I sent the following text message to Persephone:
Two giraffes from the circus or radio city or somewhere flattened by a city garbage truck on madison ave. still happening. One is still alive but they r going to shoot him probably
No response for a few hours, so I sent an IM: "jesus i think i'm just going to go home. they shot the one that was still alive. they put up like a shield thing so nobody could see but obv u could hear it."
No reply for a bit, then this conversation ensued:
Persephone: what?
Persephone: shot who?
Steve: see my text?
Persephone: no
Steve: you don't uyse your phone!
Persephone: i just got our of 4 mtgs
Persephone: OMG OMG
Persephone: that is so terrible
Steve: i know
Steve: and so ironic that it happened on april fool's...
Persephone: wait - I was in meetings not ignoring my phone!
Persephone: what were giraffes doing on the street?
Steve: walking from the stables on e34th st
Then I felt that enough was enough and called her and put her out of her misery and wished her a happy April Fool's Day.
So I guess it's fair, cosmically speaking, that I was completely taken in by the story of the new Frank Gehry tower just south of the Brooklyn Bridge on the Manhattan side, an extremely shiny building with many curved surfaces which had set fire to several nearby buildings recently, including the Woolworth Building...
and the hulking and awful Verizon building...
...as well as New York Downtown hospital (not shown). The full story is here.
I will say in my defense that I caught on before I got to the "Good one April fool!" comments. (And the scolding, joyless, misguided "Idiotic joke after 9/11" comment, this one by someone called Ortopio. Let it go, Ortopio: let it go, man. Nobody cares.)
Anyway. Oh, and actually, Persephone got me back yesterday too, by telling me that her friend L had just seen a sonogram of her future child and that it had six fingers on one hand, but that they'll just "remove it at birth." I said that I doubted it was that simple, but she said that yeah, "that's what they do - they just cut it off soon after the baby is born. it's like a little nubbin." She let me go credulously on for a few more minutes and then reminded me what the date was. (You got me, P: you got me! I should have been onto you at "nubbin" if not before, but you got me.)

Our office will always be happy to work with patients covered by dental insurance. We think insurance is a great incentive to maintain a vital level of dental health. It is important for all patients to remember that insurance is a way to supplement your costs for dental services. All dental insurance companies have a contract between you and them, not with our dental office. We will, however, work with your insurance company to make sure you receive these benefits.
There are times when patients need a little assistance making payments for treatment that is needed or they would like an interest free option that gives them flexibility to spread their payments over a year's time or longer if needed.. In these situations we offer CARECREDIT and LENDING CLUB, both have convenient low-minimum monthly payment program for your entire family specifically designed for healthcare and elective treatment. Both of these companies offer interest free and low-interest plans. This gives you the opportunity to get treatment started as soon as possible! If you are interested in applying for either of these please follow the links above, or contact our office at email@example.com with questions.
Responsibility for payment for all services provided in this office for you and any dependent is due and payable at the time services are rendered.

Last sunday grandpa bought you this tricycle with this singing bunny in front of it and you love it. Papa also bought new bicycle with baby seat in the front side, he bought it so he could take you to ride bicycle with him. He was so excited to take you riding bicycle with him. He takes you every morning now. One afternoon he took you riding this bicycle and once he got home we found him was carrying you that fell to sleep during the ride. I can see how lucky I am to have these happy boys at home. You both are my sunshines 🙂

FIFA's Sepp Blatter congratulates Juventus on winning Serie A, whilst taking the opportunity to make clear exactly what number Scudetto he believes it to be.
The club are treating the title as their 30th in their history, including the two that were officially stripped from them in the wake of 2006's Calciopoli trials.
In a letter to club President Andrea Agnelli that has been intercepted by news agency Reuters, FIFA President Blatter has insinuated the position the game's governing body has on the matter sits in contrast.
"It is my great pleasure to offer you my congratulations on your 28th title as champions of Italy," Blatter wrote this week.
"Last Sunday, after a great performance, the Juventus team won their 28th Scudetto. It is a great achievement which, rightly, has unleashed joy and euphoria. After nine years Juve are once again won the League and are the best in Serie A, well done.
"With this historic achievement I offer my congratulations to the President, the players, Coaches, support staff and management. I wish you all much more success and everything good."

OK, so now that I am married I am really just learning to cook.
Thought it would be great to make pizza at home tonight. Bought premade dough from supermarket, along with cheese, pepperoni, etc.
This will sound stupid, but I don't know what to do with the dough. I do not have special pizza pan. Do I just use a metal baking sheet? A glass baking pan or glass pie pan? A couple of aluminum cake pans?
And how long do I cook the pizza and at what temperature?
Any help would be appreciated!

Just when the public has had enough, with hashtags like: #NoKardashiansForAWeek, the PR queen Kim Kardashian does something unexpected. Some people are talking about how empowered she is to show her pregnant body in the nude, some people are talking about how she is shameless and needs to be censored, but, from a PR perspective, the point should be: she got people talking.
Sometimes being outrageous is the most effective way to get attention. Think about reality tv, the presidential election or MC Hammer.
Here's what celebrity MC Hammer had to say recently:
"Winning during the "Attention Economy"era is not for everyone.The traditional rules of what's acceptable don't apply. Shock is currency. "
Remember folks, all publicity is good publicity.

20601 Old State Road Haubstadt, Indiana 47639
In mid-1928, Hercules introduced a newly designed line of 1? 2? and 3? HP engines. The XI model was a gasoline hit and miss engine. The XK model was throttling governed and could burn gasoline, distillate or kerosene. Both models were offered under the Hercules brand. Sears only offered the Economy XK model. Production of Jaeger and ARCO brand engines had been discontinued by this time.
These X model engines were lighter in weight than comparable size S models that had been offered. They were also from one to five dollars lower in price. The X models were half base engines and were sold mounted on wooden skids. By mid-1930 these X models were discontinued and were re placed by the J model. Sometime in 1930 the 2? and 3? HP sizes were rerated to 3 and 4 HP.
The X model engines retained the same bore, stroke and r.p.m. as the previous S models of comparable horse power.
In addition to the newly designed engines, the 6 and 8 HP sizes were also offered as XI and XK models. The only change from the previous S and SK models was substitution of disk three-hole flywheels in place of the normal spoke type. By 1928 the 10 and 14 HP engines were no longer being produced.
The X models have two easily noticed features. They are half base and are mounted on wooden skids. They have three-hole disk flywheels rather than the spoke type. During 1929 Hercules offered both the S and X model engines, whereas Sears only offered the X model.
In all, a total of some 18,000 X model engines were manufactured during the two year period. About 75% were the Economy brand. Currently, about 90 are known to still exist.
Pictured here is #7776, a l ? HP XK Hercules. It has a January 28, 1929 casting date on it. It belongs to Rudy Hufnagel, an elderly former Hercules employee.

Military Moving
Testimonial from Michael Bernt - Service Member:
I just wanted to take a moment to send a note detailing our latest experience with moving while in the military over the past 24 years. This experience overall with this TSP (Select Van & Storage) was phenomenal. I couldn't have asked for more professional or better people to interact with all the way around. We had great service from the crew who packed and picked up our HHG as well as the delivery team and long haul driver. To say I am impressed is an understatement and I truly appreciate everyone working to get us our HHG in a timely manner as my local TMO related we would not get our HHG for another month or two due to the elevated amount of pack outs and deliveries during the heightened military PCS season. Lastly, I wanted to personally recognize Heather Schaefer for all her hard work and dedication during this process. Without all her efforts, my family and I wouldn't have been able to receive our HHG as quickly as we did. She was the constant professional throughout this process and should be commended for her extraordinary efforts! Thank you again for the professional and pleasant experience"
Thank you Michael and thank you all for your service!!!!

At the beginning of my learning journey for this course I felt that all aspects of graphic design were new to me. This was not only in terms of how to use the tools needed to execute the design but also and more importantly the basic principles of what makes good graphic design.
It was the first time that I had used Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator and I initially found it frustrating to not to be able to translate concepts developed in my mind and in my sketch book to computer based images.
I gradually began to become familiar with these tools through the use of online tutorials and through the process of going through the exercises and assignments in the course.
I also began to realize that I was starting to become more attuned to graphic design that present all around me in everyday life. With this came a more critical appreciation of what made good and what I sometimes considered to be design that could be been implemented in a perhaps better manner.
This being my first arts focused course keeping a learning log was also new for me. I fell I came to grips relevantly quickly with the technical aspects of working with WordPress but where I believe I faced a bigger challenge and where I got the most benefit from was creating written reviews of the work of other graphic designers and in describing my own work. This was a challenge not just in terms that writing about art was new to me but also that English is not my native language,
As I reached the second half of the course I did not feel as lost as I did at as I initially did and although I would not consider myself to be confident I had a much greater understanding of what was expected of me.
Throughout the course my tutors feedback was very helpful to me and by following up on her recommendations I could the see benefit they could bring to my work.
Some of examples of points raised to me by my tutor that helped me to appreciate the benefit of feedback on my work are as following:
- Not to leave large blank spaces between lines of text, in for example a poster but instead to bringing lines of text together helped create much better compositions.
- Approaching a design through different methods before settling on one to develop further, such as the use of collage, drawing, painting etc.
- The benefit of using my sketch book to develop as many ideas as possible.
In terms of reflecting on my strengths I appreciate the following about my work:
- That I try to avoid clutter in my designs and like to try and present my message in a clear manner.
- That I like to create handmade elements which I then incorporate into the design.
- That I have gained a critical appreciation of graphic design in everyday life.
To progress further with graphic design I consider that most important next steps for me will be to gain greater experience with the use of software tools, illustration skills and that I begin to feel more comfortable with letting myself be more influenced by other work rather than feeling I need to create a design concept completely independently,

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage."
― Lao Tzu
I'm loved very deeply by those close to me in my life and man, it's pretty awesome. When I watch this video, I see them. The years of them encouraging me, helping me, coaching me, mentoring me, believing in me, never giving up on me and being willing to love me despite my many flaws and shortcomings. What can I say! I feel very blessed!
Mt. Tremblant was a very special race for me. You can read about the full day HERE, but the many months of training truly came together better than even I knew was possible. Kyle was there, my coach, Jesse, was there and it was just one of those days you really hope for when you get up every morning at 5am to jump in a cold pool or jump on your bike for a 4 hour trainer session!
Kyle did an exceptional job capturing the day in a way only he can. I'm so fortunate that he is willing to take the time and energy to put all of this footage into a form that we can share with the world. A huge thanks to him for the hours of editing and thought that he put into our first video for awhile!
Things I learned from this video:
I hug people, a lot. HA! I guess I'm a total hugger. O well! I hope that's a good thing! What can I say!
Enjoy the recap of the day and thanks again to all those who have helped me along my way. None of this would be possible without you, especially Kyle! If you're looking for a little motivation and to get fired up for Ironman Arizona, I think this might be a great place to start!

Another article which I found was printed on 22 October 2003. Its headline "Policing bad vehicles". This article also tells us how the government is trying to reduce air pollution. The article printed is huge and i have very little time to write this blog so i will make it concise.
It states that the Department of Enviornment(DoE) was planning to set up outposts to monitor emissions released from vehicles roaming the streets of Dhaka. The objective of this plan was to keep surveillance of vehicles releasing toxic fumes. At first, these outposts would stop gross polluters from giving out fumes by prescribing specific formats to keep the engine running properly. If these cars were caught again they will be fined.
The police in the picture is looking for bad engines. So far the idea seems quite good however i do not know whether such a scheme was implemented. Anything to keep nature in good harmony.

This Mekong 'Coordination and Change' project (MK5) worked to connect the analytical efforts of CPWF-Mekong's projects. Supporting stakeholders to manage their water resources means supporting them to make choices and to reach a common understanding on the necessary arrangements for sharing and allocating water-related goods and services. MK5 acted as a 'repository' for CPWF-Mekong's vision and goals. The project monitored, evaluated, and tracked the other projects in the Mekong. It worked with stakeholders to ensure their inclusion in the program, and improve the program's potential for uptake. It identified opportunities to support, fund or connect initiatives in the basin.
MK5 was led by CPWF, working in partnership with the Mekong Program on Water, Environment and Resilience.

I suppose I should update
I did in fact eat tons of watercress on my birthday. It was excellent. Yay watercress!
The comments that so many wonderful people have left on this blog are stirring me to further thought, and will probably come up in future entries. I'm really honored that people have chosen to share their own thoughts and stories and add to the discussion. I have a lot to say, but some of it might be a tad delayed.
One of my main thoughts is that the people who don't want us to fight for our own rights or the rights of animals, the people who don't feel we're entitled to our own safety, or the sanctity of our own bodies… Those people like the idea that using violence against us will derail us. They want us to feel shut out from making a difference. They want us to suffer trauma and depression. Anything to shut us up. So, facing that, it is an incredibly powerful thing when we find ways to recover, when we find ways to use our voices. If nothing else, just being vegan and demonstrating that it is possible and healthy and fulfilling, that is a powerful example. So we need to remember the ways in which we are already doing good and honor that. And we need to take care of ourselves so that we can keep on doing those things.
One of the most frustrating aspects of all of this is realizing, after all this time, that putting myself on the line to be brutalized was one of the least effective uses of my time and my energies and my talents. I did it because I was told that it was the way to make a difference. I was told that was my role; I wasn't given a list of choices, but simply this one choice: this is what you're expected to do. Looking back I can't say it was worth much. Did it reach people? Did it keep bringing the focus back to the animals, or did it put the focus on me?
Those are vital questions to me. They are questions I should have been asking then, and the very questions I must continue to ask.
In other news…
So, because my birthday cannot pass without mishap, I ended up, in dim light, stepping on the claw end of a hammer in my bare feet. The claw went up into the heel of my foot. It's not that bad, but I can't stand or walk on it for very long, because for one it hurts, and secondly the swelling creates a weird unbalanced sensation where it's kind of like I'm trying to walk with a marble stuck to my heel.
But it turns out that it's been about a decade since my last tetanus shot, which was also necessitated by injury, that time involving a rusty nail. I called the doctor and they were pretty insistent that I needed the shot, not because the risk is so great, but because tetanus is so very bad. Apparently, once you develop symptoms, even with treatment it can be fatal, so they really want me to get the shot. I thought I was probably not at risk since my foot did bleed, but they said even so, since it is a puncture (deeper than it is wide) I need a shot.
Let that be a lesson to you all, don't postpone your vaccinations. I would probably just risk it anyway and not get the vaccination, but since this is me and it's fairly certain I'm going to step on another hammer or back into a rusty nail protruding from a door frame, or possibly tumble down an imbankment and impale myself on some kind of landscaping implement, yeah, I probably need to keep up to date on my tetanus vaccinations. Once when I was a kid I fell out of a tree onto a barbed wire fence, an old one, and ended up stuck on it in so many places that neither I nor my brother could get me loose, so I had to hang there, upside down, while he ran home and got my dad to come lift me up off the barbs. My entire life is a three stooges movie! But I really don't climb trees anymore, so I'm probably safe on that count.

Chapter 7 Bankruptcy
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is the most common type of personal bankruptcy filed, and for good reason. It's fast, effective, and generally less complicated than other types. Often, people fear a Chapter 7 bankruptcy due to the possibility of losing their valuable property. However, in most cases this is not true…most debtors are able to keep the property they own.
You may consider Chapter 7 because….
#1: You Lack a Regular Income
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is a liquidation plan. This means that all unsecured creditors will be wiped out in a discharge of debt. In most instances you will be able to keep your home, vehicles, and personal property. However, "non-exempt assets" can be liquidated in order to pay off your creditors. Unless you have significant non-exempt assets, you don't need to worry about losing any property. A great majority of Chapter 7 bankruptcy cases do NOT involve assets of the debtors that are liquidated to creditors.
#2: You Have a Significant Amount of Debt
When you have a large amount of debt you cannot pay, filing a Chapter 7 bankruptcy may be your best option. A Chapter 7 bankruptcy does not have a limit on how little or how much debt you are allowed to eliminate. Most debtors who file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy are able to discharge a large amount of debt. These debts may include credit cards, medical bills, and certain unsecured banking loans. Keep in mind there are some debts that may not be dischargeable such as student loans, child support and most taxes.
#3: You Desire a Quick Resolution
A Chapter 7 bankruptcy is designed to be a relatively quick process, most often taking only three to four months to obtain a discharge from the court. This process allows you to keep your personal property and provides a fresh financial start.
#4: Your Assets are all Exempt Assets
If all of your assets are considered to be "exempt," your case will be filed as a "non-asset" case. This means that you're able to obtain a discharge of debt without losing any of your possessions.
Certain assets are considered "exempt" from liquidation under the Federal Bankruptcy Code. Some states have granted additional exemptions for certain assets. When you file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy, you are allowed to keep your "exempt assets". A majority of cases that are filed, fall under the exempt category. Wisconsin bankruptcy law also allows you to choose between Federal and State exemption statutes. Attorneys Mart and Evan Swenson are experienced at determining what assets may present problems and offer potential solutions to those problems.
#5: You Want To Stop Harassing Phone Calls and Other Collection Actions
Once you retain the Swenson Law Group, all creditor calls will be handled by our office. After you file your bankruptcy petition, you are granted an "automatic stay." This means that wage garnishments, repossession actions, utility disconnections and civil collection notices must cease. While this "stay" is not necessarily permanent, it can offer you relief from those harassing creditor calls while you get your finances in order and develop a financial plan of action.
If you think filing Chapter 7 Bankruptcy is right for you, contact Attorneys Mart or Evan Swenson for your free case evaluation.

Hal F. Yee Jr., MD, PhD
To achieve the benefits of the patient-centered medical home (PCMH) model, the American College of Physicians has issued a policy paper addressing the relationship between specialist and subspecialist physicians and PCMH practices. This paper represents a significant step toward improving care coordination and quality by demonstrating that this model is supported by numerous specialties and subspecialties, recognizing the importance of building a strong medical neighborhood, and providing a framework that will foster improvements in care at the interface of PCMHs and PCMH neighbors (PCMH-Ns). Construction of a well-functioning medical neighborhood will, however, require some refinements. First, the proposed interaction typology between PCMHs and PCMH-Ns must be expanded to include innovative forms of interaction that do not depend on traditional office visits, but for which there are clear incentives. Second, the recommended care coordination agreements must be better standardized for the sake of practicality. Finally, genuine dialogue between PCMH and PCMH-N practices needs to be realized.

There was an article in the New York Daily News about how a man was "mauled by three vicious pit bulls when he entered a fenced yard to pass out menus" even though there was a sign that clearly read "Beware of Dog."
The man, Chinese immigrant Xiu Ming Li who has lived in America for 26 years, was bitten on his legs, arm, and head and had an earlobe chewed off.
The man's daughter, outraged, argued that her father couldn't read English; therefore, the sign was useless. The three dogs were taken into custody, where one died, presumably of a heart attack due to the incident.
The story mainly focuses on the man and the injuries he suffered, but, call me unsympathetic, my heart really goes out to the dog that was killed. And, yes, I am using the word killed because that's what happened.
The owner clearly had a warning sign, cautioning visitors (unwelcomed or not) of the presence of guard dogs -- dogs who are territorial and will go at lengths to protect their family. The guy had been living in America for 26 years ... I'm sorry, but there is no reason why he shouldn't have learned the language by now. Not to mention that entering a fenced-in area, regardless of warning signs, is considered trespassing in most states. And if you need to unlatch a gate to enter a property, it probably means you shouldn't be going in there in the first place. Literary knowledge isn't needed to know that -- it's called common sense.
In my opinion, the dogs were just doing their job.
The laws for dog attacks vary from state to state, but for the majority, they read something like this:
The owner of any dog that has bitten a human being shall have the duty to take such reasonable steps as are necessary to remove any danger presented to other persons from bites by the animal.
Whenever a dog has bitten a human being on at least two separate occasions, any person, the district attorney, or city attorney may bring an action against the owner of the animal to determine whether conditions of the treatment or confinement of the dog or other circumstances existing at the time of the bites have been changed so as to remove the danger to other persons presented by the animal. This action shall be brought in the county where a bite occurred. The court, after hearing, may make any order it deems appropriate to prevent the recurrence of such an incident, including, but not limited to, the removal of the animal from the area or its destruction if necessary.
Nothing in this section shall authorize the bringing of an action pursuant to subdivision (b) based on a bite or bites inflicted upon a trespasser, or by a dog used in military or police work if the bite or bites occurred while the dog was actually performing in that capacity.
Trespassing -- which is allegedly what the man was doing, since he came into a fenced-in property, uninvited. And though the police have no plans to charge the dog owner (and she'll get her two dogs that did survive back as long as she produces registration papers), one dog died in this incident and nothing is being done. Should animal rights not be considered in this situation? If someone came onto a property, uninvited, and caused a human to die during a struggle when protecting their home, you bet your ass the intruder would be charged.
What do you think should have happened in this situation? Do you think the fact that he couldn't read lets him off the hook (or puts the responsibility in the owner's hands)? Or do you think Xiu should be charged?

Don't turn around inside the Pepsi Center. You may bump into a member of the Willits family.
There are three Willits brothers competing for Pueblo County in Class 4A at the state wrestling tournament. Grant wrestles at 106 pounds, Hunter at 132. They are freshman twins. Older brother Keenan, a senior, wrestles at 160.
The brothers have a combined record of 115-7. They're remarkably consistent and similar. Grant is 38-3, Hunter 38-2 and Keenan 39-2.
Keenan, by the way, could meet Broomfield star Phil Downing in the finals Saturday night.
Downing is going for his fourth state title, which would make him the 17th wrestler in state history to do so. At the Northern Colorado tournament in December, he pinned Keenan Willits.
Fresh faces. The class of 2017 is shining in Class 2A's 106-pound bracket, with nine of the 16 state qualifiers being freshmen.
Four freshmen advanced to the quarterfinals — John Mall's Johnathan Andreatta, Meeker's Sheridan Harvey, Ignacio's Stocker Robbins and Rocky Ford's Jacob Rodriguez. The other four who advanced at 106 pounds? All sophomores.
No time to waste. Baca County senior Johnny Loflin needed only 20 seconds to pin Sierra Grande junior Jusiv Edwards and advance to the quarterfinals in Class 2A's 195-pound bracket. Loflin (28-3) won the 195-pound title in 2013.
Aiming at a three-peat first. Paonia junior Jesse Reed, who won state titles as a freshman (113 pounds) and sophomore (120), pinned John Mall sophomore Isaiah Sandoval in only 25 seconds Thursday.
Big representation. Lamar sent 13 wrestlers to the state meet, the most of any team regardless of classification. Thompson Valley had the second-most number of qualifiers, with 12 in Class 4A. Neil H. Devlin and Joe Nguyen, The Denver Post

The Improvement KATA is a 4-step pattern of establishing target conditions and then working iteratively (scientifically) through obstacles, by learning from them and adapting based on what is being learned.
It is a routine for moving from the current situation to a new situation in a creative, directed, meaningful way.
It is based on a four-part model:
1. In consideration of a vision or direction;
2. Grasp the current condition;
3. Define the next target condition;
4. Move toward that target condition iteratively, which uncovers obstacles that need to be
worked on.
In this management approach a primary job of leaders and managers is to develop people so that desired results can be achieved. They do this by having the organization members (leaders and managers included) deliberately practice a routine, or kata, that develops and channels their creative abilities.
Concepts don't change how we act and think.
Change means deliberately practicing some new behavior patterns, especially at the beginning.
Practicing the Improvement Kata's routines develops and mobilizes your creative capabilities and makes you better
at achieving goals. The Improvement Kata practice routines teach a scientific 'meta-skill' that changes our habits
of mind so our brain's capabilities can come to greater fruition.

Dear all,
Word associations have been very important in the study of word meanings in cognitive science. Currently, different professors are trying to build a network of word associations in English. In order to do this, we need many native (or at least very fluent) English speakers to participate in a small fun tast that does not take more than five minutes. In the task, we present a short list of words and ask people to write down the first three words they think of after reading the cue word. In order to build the network, we need about 100 participants responding to every cue word for thousands of cue words. That implies that we need thousands of participants. It seems a lot, but we've done this before: we succeeded over the past few years of reaching about 80.000 perticipants in Flanders and in the Netherlands to do the task in Dutch. However, since English is THE scientific language worldwide, it would be much more interesting to build a similar network in English. So it would be great if teachers encourage their pupils (from age 16 onwards) or their students to spend five minutes of their time by visiting
As the dataset will be open for all interested scientists, you will help many of us by participating. It would even be better if participants spread this call by e-mail, facebook, or other means. If you have suggestions about other ways in which we can reach people willing to participate in this small task, please don't hesitate to contact us. My coordinates are given below.
With kind regards,
Professor Dr. Gert Storms

Thanks for that!
If teachers are interested in how words are associated with other words (and if anyone who is interested wants to see how this is related to the meaning of the words): as soon as the network takes enough shape, we will provide a tool on the site in which you can type in a word and you can see the frequencies of the different responses. However, for the moment we have had 3000 participants, which is not enough yet. We could start with that application if we have about 10.000 visitors.

True friends don't pander to mendacious lies against their friendsBy Noam A. Rotem
Last week, in what became a widely discussed incident here in Israel, British Prime Minister David Cameron, in a discussion at the British Parliament, called Israeli construction in East Jerusalem "genuinely shocking", while insisting at the same time, that he is a "great friend of Israel". What's genuinely shocking, is David Cameron's historical ignorance, hypocrisy and utter lack of moral clarity.
From the Islamic theocracies of Iran and Saudi Arabia, through the Sunni-Shia blood baths in Iraq and Syria, to all the offshoots of the Islamic State, Al-Qaeda and Muslim brotherhood across the entire length of North Africa, the Islamic Mideast is producing some of the most horrifying levels of rampant murderous violence and persecutions the world has seen in the 21st century.
In the 20th century, the Arab and Islamic mideast, was ethnically cleansed of its Jewish population, that lived across many parts of the region for more than 2,000 years. Now in the 21st century, religious persecution of the remaining ancient Christian communities, along with other ancient minorities, are being brutally persecuted and ethnically cleansed, across many parts of the Islamic Mideast and Africa.
Israel is the only western liberal democratic country in the entire mideast, where minorities of all faiths, including Arab Muslims, enjoy democratic freedoms, unprecedented and unheard of anywhere in the entire region, and where Christians in particular are prospering and growing.
Under the Muslim Ottoman occupation, Jerusalem descended into a backwater forsaken city of little interest to the Arab and Muslim world. And under the Jordanian occupation of east Jerusalem in 1948, the Jewish Quarter in the Old City was destroyed, and its residents expelled. Over 50 synagogues, some of them hundreds of years old, were destroyed and looted. Jewish religious sites were desecrated and turned into animal stalls. The Jewish cemetery on the Mount of Olives, where Jews had been burying their dead for over 2500 years, was ransacked, and thousands of tombstones were smashed and used as building material.
Contrarily, since 1967, when Jerusalem was liberated by Israel from Arab Muslim rule, there's been full freedom of religious practice for all faiths, and the holy sites of all religions are treated with utmost sanctity. Moreover, under Israeli rule, many holy sites in Jerusalem of all religions have been restored, and renewed.
By pandering to the question of the British Muslim MP, David Cameron, unwittingly or not, has aligned himself, with those perpetrating a systematic campaign of mendacious lies designed to undermine the Jewish State and rob it, of its more than 3,000 year old history to the land of Israel. Ever since King David made Jerusalem the capital of Israel more than 3,000 years ago, the city has played a central role in Jewish culture, religion and existence. In all of history, Jerusalem was never the capital of any Arab country.
In this unprincipled stance, David Cameron is leading Great Britain down the slippery slope of depraved multicultural political correctness, to a place where historical facts no longer matter, and where moral clarity is a pejorative.
This article was also published on the Op-Ed page of Arutz Sheva:
Op-Ed: David Cameron is no friend of the truth

"After this, aware that everything was now finished, in order that the Scripture might be fulfilled, Jesus said, "I thirst." There was a vessel filled with common wine. So they put a sponge soaked in wine on a sprig of hyssop and put it up to his mouth. When Jesus had taken the wine, he said, "It is finished." And bowing his head, he handed over the spirit." (John 19:28-30)
It is Good Friday, the commemoration of the Lord's crucifixion. There is much that can be said and perhaps so much more that should be said about this day. Given that I have to offer what amounts to seven homilies this afternoon on the Seven Last Words of Christ, I think I will refrain from offering an eight. But I will say one thing, something that I don't have the opportunity to mention this afternoon.
As you listen and reflect on the Passion Narrative this afternoon, keep in mind what is really happening. Don't be too distracted by the myth that this sort of death was a one-time event in history. Jesus, the Word Incarnate, was executed, was killed as a criminal by capital punishment. Let this afternoon be an occasion to recall the systemic evil that capital punishment is in our world. There are many States in the United States that still execute human beings, may one of our prayers today be for that to end. If we believe in the inherent dignity of all human life, from conception to natural death, then we must stand up against the injustice of capital punishment.
My last plug, not because I want to promote myself (pretty sure I'm not worth the hype) but because I believe that all the Holy Triduum liturgies at St. Francis of Assisi Church on 31st Street are simply amazing: consider coming to Midtown Manhattan for the Good Friday services today. 12 Noon — Seven Last Words preached by me; 3:00pm the Service of the Lord's Passion; 5:30pm Stations of the Cross.
