General Description
(Pom, Dwarf Spitz, Zwergspitz, Loulou) The Pomeranian is a compact toy dog with a short-backed build and an alert, intelligent expression. The breed is curious and buoyant, and every move they make is sound and coordinated. Their medium-boned body is slightly taller than it is long, and the length of their limbs is well in proportion to the rest of the frame. They have a short neck that is set well into the shoulders to permit a high head carriage. Their topline is level and their ribs are well-developed. The distinctive tail lies flat and straight against the back. Their moderately muscled shoulders are sufficiently set back to provide support to their neck and allow their head to be carried proudly. Their forelegs are straight and parallel to one another, and their compact feet are well-arched and turn neither in nor out. They have sturdy, straight pasterns and well-balanced hindquarters. Their rear is set well behind the base of their tail. Hocks of this breed are perpendicular to the ground and stifles are clearly defined and moderately bent. The head of the Pomeranian is in proportion to the rest of the dog's body. The closed skull is slightly rounded on its top. Their small ears are carried erect, and their medium-sized eyes are bright, almond-shaped, and dark in color. They have a short, fine, straight muzzle and a black nose. Their teeth close in a scissors bite. The profuse coat of the Pomeranian is a distinctive characteristic. This double coat consists of a soft, dense undercoat and a long, straight, harsh outer coat. Hair is most abundant around the neck, shoulders, and chest, where it forms a frill. Coat colors for this breed include black and tan, brindle, parti-color, and a number of other shades.
The Pomeranian is intelligent, lively, and eager to learn. They are loyal to their owner and family, and they are very independent. They are bold, willful, and sometimes a bit temperamental. When raised with them from an early age, the Pomeranian usually gets along well with cats and other dogs. This breed has a tendency to be oblivious of its small size, and they will not hesitate to attack strange dogs that are much larger than they are. They have a propensity to be leery of strangers, and they will bark excessively at people they haven't seen before. Proper training and socialization can help alleviate these traits. Unlike many other toy breeds, the Pomeranian is not clingy. They are alert, curious, and proud, and they are good at learning a variety of tricks. If spoiled or improperly trained, they will become demanding and willful. They aren't recommended for young children, and too much attention can make these dogs become nervous. They get along well with older, considerate children. They are docile, even-tempered, and affectionate, and they appeal to many people who normally don't care for toy dogs.
7 – 12 inches
3 – 7 pounds
Although the show standards are within this range–there are often very nice pet specimans that range larger than this. Originally they were a hunting breed, and ranged up to 15 lbs. (as a 12" dog will weigh)
A 12" dog will weigh up to 15 lbs. They are still purebred, just not dainty and a lap dog. The larger specimans do better with children, as they are not as delicate.
My pomeranian's parents weighed 12 lbs. (female) and 15 lbs. (male.) He is seven years old and weighs 17 lbs. The vet said the larger dogs are generally healthier than the very small poms.
General Health
Some lines of the Pomeranian are prone to slipped stifle, dislocated patella, and heart problems. Other health concerns include skin problems and eye infections. Because the breed is susceptible to early tooth loss, they should be given dry food and small dog biscuits to keep their gums and teeth in healthy condition. Regular cleaning should also be given to these dogs by the veterinarian. Newborn Pomeranians are rather tiny and fragile. Small-sized females often have to deliver their pups by cesarean section. Elderly Pomeranians may become molted with bald spots. This breed typically lives for 15 years or longer.
The Pomeranian was developed in the Prussian region of Pomerania. The breed originally descended from the ancient northern Spitz breeds that were first brought to Europe in order to herd sheep. While the Pomeranian has since been bred down in size, the breed's ancestors weighed up to thirty pounds. Famous owners of these dogs include Marie Antoinette, Emile Zola, and Mozart. Queen Victoria became a fancier of the breed, and in the late 1800's, she actually established her own kennel for their breeding. Today, the Pomeranian is a coveted companion and beautiful show dog. Some of the breed's natural talents include agility, trick performing, and watching.
The long-haired, double coat of the Pomeranian should be brushed frequently. The undercoat of this breed sheds once or twice per year. Eyes and ears should be cleaned on a daily basis, and teeth should be regularly checked by a veterinarian. This breed is a constant shedder.
Ideal Environment
The Pomeranian is well-suited to life in a small household or apartment. They are a comparatively active breed indoors, and they are content to live without a yard. Because of their long-haired coat, they should be kept inside in hot weather to avoid overheating. If given regular opportunities to run around in a small yard, the Pomeranian is capable of getting enough exercise on its own. They also enjoy going for long walks.

Aspire One 721 Review
The Acer Aspire One 521 and 721 netbooks come in 10.1-inch and 11.6-inch screen sizes and feature rather lusciously portable slim and light profiles. At the same time they house up to 4GB of RAM, an ATI Mobility Radeon HD 4225 integrated graphics processor and the AMD V-Series V105 CPU, all of which enable these little devils to playback 1080p HD video and cope with mainstream PC gaming as well.
Despite all the output, the battery life remains good with our hands on revealing that the 521 would last out 6 hours of 1080p playback on a single charge. The low power 16:9 LED Acer CrystalBrite screen obviously helps out here, but it's impressive nonetheless.
Further removing the pair from the squalor of what's often on offer in this small stature category, there's a good size keyboard, an HDMI port, a webcam and multi-gesture touchpad as well.
A driver is software that allows your computer to communicate with hardware devices. Without drivers, the devices you connect to your computer - for example, a mouse or external hard drive - won't work properly. Windows can automatically check if there are drivers available for new devices that you connect to your computer. For hardware that you've connected to your computer in the past, updated drivers might become available at a later date; but those drivers aren't installed automatically. To install these optional updates, go to Windows Update in Control Panel, check for updates, and then view and install driver updates that are available for your computer.

America needs more real heroes. This is why we admire Amy Schumer. Amy Schumer used to sit quietly and agreed politely to everything. But eventually she decided to become a fighter.
Today, Amy Schumer is one of the most followed people on social media. And let's be real about why: she earned it all! Against this background, let's not forget the facts. It took a few years of extremely tough work to reach the pinnacle of power. Our dreams don't come true overnight.
Downers used to speculate how she could be truly intelligent. As if they'd ask a man that! Everyone should stop judging. If Amy Schumer wants to hit the VIP after a hard days night, that's her right.
In recent times, she seems more comfortable in her own skin. She knows how to party and also how to get down to business.
Are you ready to feel animated? Enjoy these fun snapshots into the life of the incredible Amy Schumer.

…to issue or move in a stream, CIRCULATE: to move with a continual change of place among the constituent particles.
There is also a psychological state of Flow. Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi defines Flow as the mental state of operation in which the person is fully immersed in what he or she is doing, characterized by a feeling of energized focus, full involvement, and success in the process of the activity.
After a year of learning about the Alexander Technique, which is a method of proper use of the body, I believe the concept of "flow" is also applicable to the body. "Proper" posture is not a position to be held statically, but a flow of alert poise from moment to moment.
Can these concepts be joined in a gestalt theme covering body, mind and spirit? I believe so.
Let's start with the use of the body. The Alexander Technique examines body use from a natural point of view, that is, taking the animal state of poise each of us inherits and learning to apply it consciously. When actor and F. M. Alexander lost his voice repeatedly after long soliloquies, he learned from painstaking self-examination that his neck was contracting into a "startle" position, like a frightened animal, during the stress of acting performances.
Further experience demonstrated that simply relaxing the neck into its natural position wasn't enough. He had to remain in the pilot's seat, what he later called "primary control", the "the central co-ordinating agency built into our very essence and fundament." (from David Gorman) Mr. Gorman continues by describing how primary control originates evolutionarily from the dawn of organized species. From the slug on up, primary control directed them as it still directs us.
The part of the brain which controls this body awareness is primitive, buried deeply in the middle of the brain. Normal consciousness, with its analytical process, cannot touch it. One cannot "think" themselves into this central state of awareness. The subjective experience of this state feels like "letting into a flow". A flow of what? That's where is becomes more complicated. A flowing body with no where to go gets bored quickly!
I have found that as I gained balance and poise in my body, I was able to be more present mentally as well. My mind followed my body's lead, and relaxed into the moment. My whole being now has a better chance of evolving from this gained awareness.
After reading much of Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi's wonderful book, Flow, The Psychology of Optimal Experience, I believe the three parts of body/mind/spirit are really just different angles of the same structure. Just as a box cannot be a box with a side or two missing, we cannot be reduced to one part without losing the entire meaning of "a life".
Mihaly defines flow as a state of concentrated but contented occupation, with clearly defined goals, reasonable challenges, and evidence of achievement. He interviewed thousands of people about what they feel when they are experiencing optimal enjoyment and absorption in an activity. No matter what someone is doing, from sex to sports to chess; if they are focused and directed, they are fulfilled. Having a goal is not the reason for their contentment, it is the process. Personal descriptions of this state include: transcendence, unselfconsciousness, alertness, confidence, enjoyment, satisfaction and fulfillment.
Seen from this view, the subjective feeling of our lives gains meaning and quality. People who have meaning in their lives are fulfilled. It has nothing to do with money or fame or power. Happy people are happy because they are fulfilled. Period. And those people are more loving, peaceful, forgiving and generous, all of which are symptoms of a rich spirit.
So, we started with the importance of poise and flow in the body, then explored flow for the mind, which, in turn, creates flow for the spirit. Three balanced sides completes the equation.
It may seem like a cop out to define a healthy spirit in terms of a healthy body awareness and life direction. As a person becomes grounded and connected to the world around, her ability to reach out and heal others becomes a natural inclination. As deep fulfillment grows, the more universal Self begins to supercede the personal self. If the goals are shallow and selfish, then he cannot tap into that goodness so easily.
Once again, the idea of spirituality can be defined by observable and knowable concepts. A spiritual person is one who has found balance and poise in their body, mind, goals, talents and desires. As each part comes to life, the whole being is enhanced, and their spirit grows accordingly. As Thich Nhat Hanh said, "Happiness is not a goal, it is the path." Perhaps that could be rephrased as, "Happiness is not in the goal, it is in the flow".
May your body, mind and life flow toward fulfillment and a glowing spirit.

Adorable. Love your characterization of Todd as a sweet push-over with a heart of gold. Mindy's voice is perfect, and so are the other characters. I like that you didn't rush the relationship (as Mindy really is too young), but hinted that something more could result eventually. In the meantime, their bromance is awesome.

I don't have enough fingers and toes to count the number of times I've heard business people say "What's the point of Twitter?" Usually I'll hear that followed up with things like "why do I care what you had to eat or when you took a shower". Right then and there, I know I'm probably talking to someone who has done absolutely no research on their own and is more than likely repeating some silly response they heard from someone else.
I love Twitter. I think it has wonderful potential for connecting like-minded individuals. And, I honestly believe that it can help your business, regardless of size. But Twitter isn't easy. On the contrary, it requires skill and dedication, coupled with a strategy for implementing it into your mix of communication tools.
Recently, I sat down with a new client who thought they would like to explore Twitter but they didn't know where to begin. I'd like to share some of the tips and tricks I showed them to help get them started.
Your Twitter Username
When choosing your Twitter handle (user name) you have a lot of options. You can use your company name and have a business account or you can your own name. You can even select something completely creative to represent yourself or your business but I suggest that you use your real name. This is really important for two reasons. One is for reputation management, especially if your name IS your brand. Also, if you are representing a brand, having a name behind the brand allows people to connect with the company on a more personal level.
Twitter allows your username to contain up to 15 characters. But, I recommend you keep your Twitter name as short as you can, ideally no longer than 10 characters, including the @ character all Twitter usernames contain.
When you 'Tweet', you are allowed 140 characters. Everything counts including spaces and punctuation. So if your username is @mybusinessname you are at 15 characters. Some simple math… 140 characters minus 15 plus a space and you're left with 124 characters for your message. The following message is 137 characters –
@mybusinessname launches product such and such to solve your dilemma in choosing correctly when buying organic something from our company
Whew, you kept it under 140 characters! BUT, you want your message to spread. So your followers will see this, think it's a great message and want to RETWEET it. (Share it with their followers) Now we might end up with something like this..
@missjanedoe RT @mybusinessname launches product such and such to solve your dilemma in choosing correctly when buying organic something from our company
Now we're at 153 characters because @missjanedoe's username and the RT (retweet) is included. So, your original message is going to get cut off, leaving you with something like this..
@missjanedoe RT @mybusinessname launches product such and such to solve your dilemma in choosing correctly when buying organic something fro (last 13 characters gone)
Perhaps you're thinking, yes but even if I had kept my user name to 10 characters my message would have still been cut off. That's right. The point here is that the shorter you can keep your username, while still reflecting our business the better.
Here's an example of how my Twitter feed looked this morning. You can see how challenging it can get to have a conversation on Twitter.
Your Twitter Profile
Another extremely important part of Twitter is your Profile. It tells the world who you are, what you're interested in and helps people know whether they want to connect with you. You get 160 characters here, so use them wisely. You might try including a little about your job or business and some personal items that people might want to connect with you about… perhaps something like this:
I run a xxxxxx business that produces x y x. I also love music, tennis and mountain climbing. My blog (or website) is http://www.xxxxxxx.com.
Don't forget to include a photo. You can use your brand logo or your personal pic. I think people like to associate with a person, so I use my photo not my company logo. Here's what mine looks like.
That should get you started. In my next post I'll go into more details on the strategies of using Twitter for your business.

Game Rewind – July 2015
A look back at games I played for the first time in July 2015.
An average month.
Spy v Spy the computer game, as a board game.
You going around a board finding and hiding the Egg you're all looking for on planets while leaving traps for the other players looking for it.
I like the idea of it, I wasn't so happy with the execution though and the fast paced game I played on the Commodore Amiga worked better.
Result: Would like to see a lighter, smoother, quicker twist on this type of game.
A very fun 'educational' game where you have to slot cards from your hand into a Timeline in the right place to get rid of your hand. Get it wrong and you draw a card.
I put Educational in quotes as we played a Pop Culture version, not an historical one. I won our games through having 1 card that I knew the exact year for so I was able to save it till last. (Star Wars Episode 4 came out the year I was born :))
Result: Would play again, with people who haven't memorised the cards.
Cthulhu Wars
A very good game, similar to Chaos in the Old World where you stomp Gigantic 'Minis' around a board to score points and kill things.
But, I HATE those models, to me they look oversized 'toy like' and the bright colours kill the theme…
Result: Would play again, but still dislike those toy things.
The Voyages of Marco Polo
The Voyages of Marco Polo First Play
Great dice placement game where you're using your dice to gather resources and travel around Asia. While travelling, you're building huts and creating routes to fulfil route cards you have drawn.
You have contracts to fulfil with your resources which you also need to use to travel so you can't do everything, you just have to do what you can do, and better than the other players.
It has a great balancing mechanism with the dice so bad rolls don't mess you around too much.
Also, the player powers are amazing.
Result: Will happily play again but not tempted to own.
Mississippi Queen
An interesting racing game where you're moving steam ships down a river, picking up passengers and racing to the end.
There is an interesting system where you use your fuel to increase/decrease speed and turn, but you only have 6 fuel to use all game… It's not a short race 🙂
Result: Good game, would like to see something similar updated to 2016.
Pingo Pingo
Unique game played to a sound track of flipping cards and doing things.
Some cards are treasure and you need to play 'snap' to claim it. But some cards refer to night or day and you have to be in that period of the day (noted by the tone of the music) to claim it.
Other cards have you doing goofy things like running from one end of the room to the other to touch a card or shooting a target with a dart gun..
Result: Silly fun, and the only game I had to turn down playing through injury 🙂
Space Alert
Interesting programming game where you're moving around a ship fixing problems. Again, this is played to a sound track and game actions are controlled by sound effects.
You have to put action cards face down on your board in the right order and coordinate as a team to make sure you're all doing what you need to at the right time. This could involve 2 people moving to 2 different guns and firing at the same time to hit a target and blow it up.
Don't forget to wiggle the mouse to stop the screensaver coming up 🙂
Result: Tough game but good fun, would play more.
Tigris & Euphrates
A very good Knizia game of building paths and playing bits on a board.
I can't explain it, and I don't remember it that well but I know I enjoyed the mechanisms and the component quality was great.
It's a bit of a route building/war game where you can break up your opponents routes, denying them points.
Result: A Knizia win and one I need to play 2-3 more times.

Question about Sugru.
For anyone that has used Sugru in the past, how much grip does it have once completely cured and dry? I was wondering if I could use it on the outside of a 3D printed wheel to get good grip like a rubber tire. If not any suggestions for other materials I could use? Thanks!

The cave town of Vardzia
Vardzia Travel Blog› entry 19 of 30 › view all entries
Today we visited the cave town of Vardzia and Khertvisi Fortress. The cave town of Vardzia is said to date from 1185, when Queen Tamar of Georgia was riding through the valley with her Uncle. She wandered off to explore some caves, and when her uncle called out for her she shouted out "Vardzia" ("Here I am Uncle"). The caves were developed into a city, with 3000 caves over 19 levels. Most of these were destroyed by an earthquake in 1456, with only 550 caves remaining.
Khertvisi fortress is one of the oldest fortresses in Georgia, founded ~200 BCE. The fortress is old enough that it was destroyed by Alexander the Great on his campaign to the east. The present walls are much younger, built in 1354, but today the only inhabitants were a cluster of four cows, who for some reason had climbed up into the fortress and had taken up residence in one of the towers. As has been the case across rural Georgia, the cluster of houses around the fortress was teeming with farm life, with a pace of donkeys, a rafter of turkey chicks and three adorable puppies who really liked to have their bellies scratched.

I met this guy on a dating site and everything seemed great. After the first date, he would text me frequently and he would usually initiate convos. He would say he would want to see me again, and how he wanted me to meet his friends. Suddenly, out of nowhere he grew cold and did not answer to my texts. He asked me out and when I asked him when, he did not reply. At least have the decency to say you're not free or busy, lol. It's annoying.
Most Helpful Guy
A lot of girls seem to be having this problem. Maybe us guys do not want to seem clingy. Or our testosterone makes us hot and cold...00|00|0
LOL but why can't you at least tell someone you're not interested or anything? Or that you're busy? I thought he liked me. I told him I was leaving the states for a month and he implied that he is gonna miss me.
- Show AllShow Less
That's not possible. What really annoys me is why can't he just say "no" or "I'm busy"? Because I will definitely respect his decision and leave him alone until he contacts me. I'm not clingy and never really double text. Maybe he finds me different from a bunch of clingy girls he hung out with to feed his ego. He's a musician and I'm a college student during engineering so.
I had a music major roommate and he always acted aloof and spacey, maybe some of them like to act that way. I'm a science major myself and I like to make everything clear so I can't claim to understand him, he probably thinks it's cool to ignore girls sometimes. Whatever just talk to him or if not then I have no clue.

PAWPRINTS: How a bedtime story for his children inspired John Byrne's new exhibition
Well, that was the coverline on The Arts section of The Sunday Herald's arts section yesterday... I preferred the inside headline: The Cat's Whiskers.
I interviewed John Byrne last week in advance of his Cornerboys and Angels exhibition opening at Glasgow Print Studio. The exhibition features a few drawings for his forthcoming book, Donald and Benoit, a kids' adventure story about a boy and his cat, but most of the work is an amalgum of stuff from various periods and includes some stonking self-portraits.
Byrne is a changeling, I'm convinced of it... what a man. A pure genius, by the way!
"It's not every man in his 70th year who could carry the look which John Byrne sports so effortlessly and with such dandyish aplomb. Tonight, as we meet at the 'back door' of the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, where he's been busy curating the RSA's 183rd Annual Exhibition, heads turn as one in his direction as he emerges into the mellow autumn night air sporting baggy denims, a blue and white striped long sleeved matelot style t-shirt under a neat waistcoat with a Paisley Pattern cravat swaddling his crane-like neck.
It must happen to him all the time as he's probably one of the most recognisable figures in contemporary Scotland and has even been described on the invite to his forthcoming exhibition at Glasgow Print Studio (GPS) as a 'Scottish cultural icon and Renaissance man'.
With his famous long craggy features and grizzled whiskers which look most at home when he's popped a roll-up into his mouth, Byrne looks for all the world like a devil-may-care angel about to spin a yarn or two.
Telling stories comes naturally to Byrne, who was born into an Irish Catholic family in Paisley just as the Second World War was getting into its stride in January 1940 and it was a tradition which was still strong in his parents.
Byrne the born storyteller can't help but weave a narrative into every piece of art he produces. His masterpiece, Tutti Frutti (currently on the bestseller list after being released on DVD 22 years after it was first screened) was accompanied by the most exquisite artwork of the characters played by Robbie Coltrane, Emma Thompson et al.
Whether it's a simple monotype print self-portrait (of which there are several in his new Cornerboys and Angels exhibition at the GPS) or one of his 'Starry-Eyed Angel' etchings with their big beefy forearms, broad shoulders and tiny head staring inquisitively out at the viewer, Byrne's unique visual language is always seeking ways to make sense of the world through creating a strong sense of visual narrative.
Although as a writer, he is famous for putting words into this mouths of his characters in grown-up dramas such as Tutti Frutti and The Slab Boys, Byrne has recently shifted his attention to a much younger audience for his new project, Donald and Benoît, a picture book adventure story for children in the 8-11 year-old age bracket.
Inspired by bedtime stories he used to tell his twins, Xavier and Honor, about Donald the black cat and Benoît, the 11-year-old boy who looks after him, the book is set in Fishertown, a part of Nairn, where Byrne and his young family have lived for the last decade. Written in his own handwriting and illustrated with detailed drawings, several of which will be on show in this new exhibition in Glasgow, the 64-page book is due to be published in autumn 2010, by New York-based publishing house, Rizzoli Publications
"The deadline for me finishing the book is the end of January 2010," he says. "So the pressure is on. I do the illustrations at home on a board on my knee and they are very time-consuming. It's very concentrated work.
"I've been inspired by the classic 'This is…' travel guides for children by the Czech illustrator and author M. Sasek which have recently been reissued. As everything is handwritten and illustrated by me, nothing will need to be typeset, it'll all just be photographed and printed."
Byrne is one of these people to whom a story can't help attaching itself. No newspaper story about him is complete these days without mention of the unusual domestic arrangements which he shares with Oscar-winning actress Tilda Swinton, the mother of 12-year-old Xavier and Honor.
The couple share the parenting of their children and are still based in the north east of Scotland, but both have new partners. Swinton is with German artist Sandro Kopp, while Byrne has clearly found happiness with acclaimed Edinburgh-based lighting designer Jeanine Davies.
The new arrangement seems to suit them all and Byrne talks about Swinton affectionately and without artifice. It was Swinton, in fact, who played a key role in securing a publisher for Donald and Benoît.
"I used to tell the children a story about all the schemes which this wee boy Benoît would dream up to entertain Donald the cat it grew from there. We'd have things happen such as Donald being mummified and left overnight in a museum when an Egyptologist comes to Fishertown to give a lecture.
"Xavier would always fall asleep, but Honor would be sitting there with her eyes wide open. She would always have to have everything in place. It would all have to be believable. She was a very hard task mistress. I always have that in mind when I'm writing the book.
"About four years ago, the actress Nell Campbell, who starred in the original Rocky Horror Show, came to the big house in Nairn to stay and she overheard me telling the children the stories.
"She said to Tilda that I should do try to find a publisher and Tilda agreed, saying she'd been thinking that for a while, though I didn't know it.
"Not long after that, she happened to be in New York, where she met a literary agent called David Kuhn. 'You must see this book idea,' she told him, and phoned me to say I should Fed-Ex over sample pages.
"So I did send him the pages and he thought it was wonderful and that yes, he'd like to represent me. It was much later that he told me his heart every time he meets someone who says to him, 'You must see this…'"
According to Byrne, writing for children has always been something which he has had on the back burner. "I tried my hand at it when I was 17 or 18 at Glasgow School of Art, but it didn't really happen. It's taken all this time for it to become real.
"The twins haven't seen any of it yet," he admits, joking that he's the authoritarian figure of the family who shuffles into the attic with his stash of papers laughing maniacally. "Xavier was quite peeved when his mum told him I was publishing it. 'But it's our story,' he told her."
With the energy and commitment to his work of a man half his age, Byrne clearly thrives on juggling half a dozen projects at one time. When I went to take a look peek at some of the work which will be in the Cornerboys and Angels exhibition before it goes on the walls this week at Glasgow Print Studio's shiny new base in Trongate 103, several members of the studio approached me to say how amazing it had been working with Byrne.
"He's just so inventive," says artist and master studio printer, Murray Robertson, who worked with Byrne on several pieces for this new show. "In the self-portrait monoprints, he has such control of the line, it's incredible."
Byrne himself describes Cornerboys and Angels as, 'an amalgam of stuff from my six month sojourn at 22 King Street circa 1992 (The Angels) plus new work produced at 48 King Street in more recent times (The Cornerboys). Also a number of self-portrait monotypes.' As ever, Byrne has been incredibly inventive and prolific, revisiting old work and reworking it ("I love the fact that when you change the colour of a scene, you change its whole mood",) or creating new prints.
After chatting on Princes Street for a while, shouting above the din of the tramworks, we say goodbye and he heads off back into the RSA building where he has 'hanging' to get on with.
This year's annual RSA exhibition opens on November 14 and focuses on the theme of Homecoming. Byrne, who has been an RSA associate since 2004, has been closely involved with selection process. Among the invited artists this year are, Annie Cattrell, Helen Flockhart, Peter Thomson, Chris Orr RA and Byrne's fellow Paisley buddy and good friend, the sculptor Sandy Stoddart.
Leafing through his latest work, and chatting to GPS staff who talk of who inspiring it was having him around, it occurs to me that the hugely prolific Byrne is happiest when he's searching for meaning in the various layers he consistently finds in his fellow man or woman, be it in the arch of his own jaggy eye brow or in the various hand-coloured etchings of the same scene in Underwood Street.
Then, there are all those mesmerising self-portraits of a face which doesn't get any less interesting as it ages.
Couple that sublime search with an eye which is so in tune with his hand, that it hurts and the result is a prolific artist with a unique vision. Not a man whose own story should be glibly told.

Wrongly accused of theft and exiled from a religious community many years before, the embittered weaver Silas Marner lives alone in Raveloe, living only for work and his precious hoard of money. But when his money is stolen and an orphaned child finds her way into his house, Silas is given the chance to transform his life. His fate, and that of the little girl he adopts, is entwined with Godfrey Cass, son of the village Squire, who, like Silas, is trapped by his past. Silas Marner, George Eliot's favourite of her novels, combines humour, rich symbolism and pointed social criticism to create an unsentimental but affectionate portrait of rural life. The text uses the Cabinet edition, revised by George Eliot in 1878. David Carroll's introduction is accompanied by the original Penguin Classics introduction by Q. D. Leavis.

I really need help deciding how to spend our day (we will be based in Ft Lauderdale). I want to be able to take great photos of wildlife, nature, beautiful scenery.
I'm trying to decide between:
Visiting Anhinga Trail on our own,
a full day tour with Everglades Day Safari (www.ecosafari.com), or
a half day Everglades Nat'l Park Birding, Wildlife & Photo Expedition(evergladesareatours.com/everglades-birding.h…).
Anhinga sounds like it might be best for wildlife plus it is much more budget friendly. But the guided tours sound like fun and I think they are closer to Ft Lauderdale. Any advice or recommendations would be most welcome!

According to GQ, [artist id="1231683"]Justin Timberlake[/artist] is one of the 10 Most Stylish Men of the year. So, it's fitting that the singer is one of the forces behind the William Rast clothing line, which he started a few years back with his childhood friend and business partner, Trace Ayala.
Timberlake, along with his design partners Johan and Marcella Lindeberg, made the line's big debut at the Bryant Park tents during New York Fashion Week. For their fall 2009 collection, Timberlake told MTV News that he found inspiration in the "new America" — making it rather appropriate that the show took place on Presidents' Day.
"Birth of a new leadership, birth of a new era, birth of a new culture," he said. "And I think being who we are as a brand ... I think it inspired us to take it beyond where we were. So, that's it — a new America."
Timberlake explained that he manages to find time to design a clothing line — in addition to his work as an actor, producer and musician — because of the great team behind William Rast.
"Well, [music and fashion are] both collaborative, just in different ways," he explained. "Johan and Marcella Lindeberg are such an intricate part of this line, [from] the birth of it to where it is now — where we are. ... I think it's interesting."
Although he is very hands-on in the design process, for him it's more about being an ideas man than actually sewing clothes together. "The way I work with them is [I] give them ideas on lifestyle," he said. "Not so much specific clothing, 'cause that's what they're so good at — taking a general idea and throwing it into specifics and making it a part of the clothing; that is that lifestyle."

results of a day of cookingposted in Uncategorized |
Well. I'm tired. I just took off my shoes and I realised that they had been on my feet all day. ALL. DAY. Since 7am when I got dressed. I'm not a shoe kind of girl. I liked living in New Zealand for that reason because I didn't have to wear shoes all the time. I'll never forget when I first started working at the University of Canterbury after being in NZ just six months and I saw university students going to class without any shoes on! A few years later I found myself going to the supermarket without any shoes. I didn't even notice until I was halfway through my shopping. Oh well, when in Rome…
I've got a freezer full of meals for my friend, which I'll deliver tomorrow, as well as some for my own family. I made at least three of each recipe, so I'm giving her two and saving one for us. She'll get a total of ten meals, along with instructions. If I were a really good blogger (which I've never claimed) I'd have a picture to show you with all the meals nicely stacked somewhere so you could oooh and aaaah over my stash. But I'm not a good blogger, so I don't. Besides, the deep freeze is pretty dark and you wouldn't be able to see them anyway.
So, I highly recommend Fix Freeze Feast, as referenced in my previous post. And I particularly recommend Cheesy Chilada Bake. Handsome had three helpings. It was reeeeeal good.
And Wilm, glad to hear you enjoyed the enchiladas! The chiles aren't spicy at all and the leftovers are almost better than the first go round!

Judaism, Vol.38 No.190 (1999)
Introduction: The tenth and eleventh centuries marked the birth of Franco-German Jewry, the Ashkenazim. These Jews, invited to a rapidly developing part of Europe by Christian civil and religious leaders, soon distinguished themselves in commerce and scholarship. In the galaxy of their rabbinical luminaries, the figure of Rabbi Solomon son of Isaac (1040–1105) shone the brightest for subsequent generations. Rashi, his acronym, unites both his name and a supreme compliment: Rabban Shel Yisrael, Teacher of Israel. To this day, his commentaries illuminate Torah and Talmud so that no Jew can be considered literate in Judaism without knowing them.
The details of Rashi's life are sketchy. We know that he endured a time of great poverty during his studies. He engaged in business with Gentiles and seems to have been a wine merchant. He and his wife had at least two daughters, both of whom married scholars. Three of Rashi's grandchildren–Samuel (Rashbam), Isaac (Ribam), and Jacob Tam (Rabbeinu Tam)–were famous in their own right and began the Tosafot commentary on the Talmud. Samuel, the eldest, left several reminiscences of his grandfather, for whom he occasionally acted as a secretary. From this we know that even in his old age, Rashi wished to make revisions of his commentary.

Sebastian Coates has admitted he would be interested in a permanent move to Sporting Lisbon.
The defender is currently on loan in Portugal from Sunderland, having left Wearside in January after falling down the pecking order.
He's made an impact with his temporary employers too, and has not dismissed the possibility of securing a summer transfer to the club having settled so well.
Coates open to move
Speaking to Record this week, Coates was hesitant about talking about a potential move when the season ends.
There is a €5 million buy-out clause in his loan contract that Sporting could activate either this summer or next, and his performances thus far mean it wouldn't be a surprise to see them do that this year.
Coates himself appears to be more than open to the deal becoming permanent too, despite saying that talk about that is "premature" when the season is still ongoing.
"I'm very happy here," the Uruguay international admitted. Having traded a relegation-threatened side for "a club that has the ambition to win the championship" and "to qualify for the Champions League," he is enjoying his time in Portugal.
When asked what he would say if he had to make the decision today about staying with Sporting or not, Coates said he would say "yes, of course," with the fact that his family have "already adapted" to the new surroundings a big factor.
"However, while we are in competition with things to decide," he continued, "I'd rather not talk about these issues."
International defender sharing experience
At Sporting, Coates is the team's most senior defender, boasting international and European experience, as well as plenty of games in the Premier League.
It is the first time he has taken up that role in his career too, having often been the learning centre-half in his previous defensive partnerships.
However, it's a role he is enjoying. "It is up to me to teach young players, help them grow," he understands, which is much "different" to when he was at Liverpool, where his "goal was to learn."
Coates is looking to give teammates his "experiences" that he has gained "on and off the pitch," and with the club having kept three clean sheets in their six Primeira Liga games since his arrival, he's certainly doing a good job. It's no wonder that he wants to stick around.

Adult Hip Hop Fitness Class
Possibly the least musically inclined person in 417-land, Lifestyle Editor Savannah Waszczuk takes a shot at an adult hip hop dance class.
DISCLAIMER: The information in this article was fact checked and accurate at press time, but 417 Magazine cannot guarantee its accuracy indefinitely.
When it comes to dancing skills, I've got zilch. Zero. Nada. And I can't carry a tune, either, which clearly means that I have absolutely no rhythm. I never have. In fact, my friend has a home video of our first-grade talent show where I performed a rap dance (yeah, for real), and aside from being a couple of feet taller, I'd look the same if I did it today: ridiculous. And what better assignment for the least musically inclined person in the universe than to try an adult hip hop dance class?
Before I went to my first class, I had no idea what to expect. Adult hip hop fitness? All I could picture was neon clothes, sideways hats and a whole lot of those baggy elastic-waist Zubaz pants my older brother wore in the early '90s. But when I arrived at Take the Lead, LLC (1740 S. Glenstone Ave., Springfield, 417-234-7511, ttldancespringfieldmo.com), I saw none of that (minus one sideways hat on a guy who looked like he had stepped off the set of Magic Mike). I walked into a studio packed with nearly 30 people (a newly expanded studio opened at press time), all dressed in regular workout gear and ready to break a sweat. Wardrobe: check. Up to that point, I had no reason to be embarrassed. And then we started the warm-up.
I was preparing to be humiliated beyond belief, and for the first few exercises, I was. I can't shake my booty very well. I can't seamlessly flow into a body roll or get my hands and feet to follow the same rhythm. My body just won't do that! But then, thanks to the hip hop dance instructor Janaki Gallelli, I realized that I actually don't look too ridiculous, after all… Or if I do, no one really cares. (That's the more likely scenario of the two.) Gallelli transplanted here from San Diego in 2010. She has a lifetime of dancing experience, growing up with a ballerina mom and taking studio dance lessons since she was 6 years old. "I've had lyrical, modern, ballet, tap, jazz, hip hop…" Gallelli says. And her teaching skills prove it. She did a fabulous job, breaking it down slow enough for misfits like me to follow along, and yelling out alternate options for the more advanced dancers to try.
Gallelli teaches a new dance, comprised of four eight-counts, each week. "This way, people aren't penalized if they miss a class or two," she says. The dances are designed to give a cardio workout and work a variety of muscles, mainly the abdominal muscles, hamstrings, calf muscles and glutes. "We do a lot of body rolls and things like that, waking up [muscles] you're not used to using," Gallelli says.
I got super-sweaty in my dance session, which proves it gave me a good cardio workout. But I didn't realize it as I was going along, because it was actually really fun. Sure, I felt like a goof doing some of the moves, and I couldn't help but smile, but that's what makes the class so enjoyable. And Gallelli perfectly melds the roles of both a stern coach and a personal cheerleader. She makes sure you're doing the moves somewhat correctly so you're working the right muscles, but she emphasizes having fun. The best part? She occasionally yells out "freestyle," where you get to bust a move any way you want for a few eight counts.
In addition to enjoying an hour-long dance session, there are other benefits to the class. "The big boost you get is in your self-esteem," says studio owner Obi Simpson. "You learn how to move, shake and wiggle your hips, and that makes a person feel sexy. Whether you look hot or not, you end up having a big grin on your face." And he's right. Catching myself in the mirror a few times, I didn't look anywhere close to attractive, but I didn't care. It was all worth the big ear-to-ear smirk that never left my face.
WHAT: Adult Hip Hop Fitness classes
WHERE: Take the Lead, LLC, 1740 S. Glenstone Ave., Springfield, 417-234-7511, ttldancespringfieldmo.com
WHEN: Tuesdays and Thursdays at 6 p.m., Saturdays at 10 a.m.
COST: $10 per person per class, or purchase a $60 punch card of eight sessions (the card doesn't expire)

Alternate headline: Rob Marshall may be an Oompa Loompa, but at least he sticks up for the So You Think You Can Dancechoreographers!
Last night was, as my BlogHer colleague put it: A lotta show.
Starting with the guest judges: Rob Marshall, whose liberal use of the tanning salon has left him looking like John Boehner, or maybe an Oompa Loompa; and another guest judge, who would rather explore the significance of the Oompa Loompas as a critical treatise on cultural enslavement by the patriarchy...all while adorning herself with the accoutrements of bondage herself: Lady Gaga.
Image courtesy FOX
(Did that even make sense? I was really just going for pretentious hipster talk.)
Don't get me wrong. There was also a whole lotta great dancing last night. These are all talented dancers, and I can't really say I'd be too upset with any of them making it all the way to the final. But I do think Gaga brings this air of the surreal to any endeavor. And given I'm not much of a fan myself, the way everyone was acting like it was having Jesus or, I don't know, Stephen Sondheim on the judging panel was a little disconcerting. Chacun a son gout, right? (Yes. More pretentious talk.)
Last night each dancetestant first danced with an all-star, and they were put into pairs and danced with each other. Here's how it went down.
1. Sasha and all-star Pasha danced a Jonathan Roberts quick step to Terry Snyder's cover of "Puttin' on the Ritz."
I think Jonathan might have oversold the quirkiness on this just a tetch. It didn't strike me as that weird. Now, if one of them had been dressed like Peter Boyle in Young Frankenstein? That would have been the appropriate level of weird, given the song choice. So, not that quirky, but there were a couple of odd moments (like was that supposed to be a lift at the end?). All in all it was fun and snappy, and she pulled off looking like she'd done the Quick Step 100 times. I just didn't think it was that weird!
2. Caitlynn and all-star Ivan danced a Marty Kudelka hip-hop routine to "Mario's Let Me Love You."
Well, let me channel Len from Dancing with the Stars and say that this routine took a really long time to get going. And even when it started to heat up, it seemed to feature Ivan way more than Caitlynn. She was totally competent. But this was a total throwaway number. The most interesting part came during the judging. NO, I have to say: I don't like it when Nigel tells girls to "open their legs a little bit more," either. However, I do think Gaga pointing it out only made me think about him saying that to young girls more, and that is not OK.
3. Jordan and all-star Ade danced a Tyce Diorio jazz routine to Tina Turner's "Nutbush City Limits."
Yes, yes, Jordan is a sex kitten who can kick really, really high. I get it already. I mean, this was, again, competently done, no complaints. Well, OK: one complaint. I didn't think there wasn't a ton of connection between them. She was playing out to the audience most of the time, and it meant there wasn't a ton of the infamous chemistry you hear about. My main issue is just that I'm tired of it. I guess you could blame the choreographers. They're playing the same keys every time they work with her. Either way, I'm all Evil Willow "Bored now!" about Jordan.
4. Melanie and all-star Neil danced a Mandy Moore contemporary routine to Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart."
Much as it pains me to say it, I think I'm starting to suffer a similar ennui with Melanie. Now, let's be clear: That ennui is about a level of performance and technique that, in my opinion, is among the best they've got up there. This number was really good. Excellent. But I'd like to see Melanie do something fun and light. I'd like to see her do hip-hop. I'd like to see her do a frothy foxtrot or jumping jive. Is it just me? I feel like it might be just me.
5. Ricky and all-star Anya danced a Jason Gilkison jive to Celine Dion's "River Deep, Mountain High."
This had some stellar moments, particularly some lifts and releases that were breathtaking. And yet I felt Ricky didn't have the bounce. I agree with the judges that he was quite upright, and quite stiff. Most of all, he didn't have quite Anya's sharpness. About halfway through, the music kicked into high gear, and Ricky did too. But all in all, I felt he was a step behind his all-star. Apparently Gaga disagrees, though, because unless I'm mistaken she called Anya some version of old during judging. OK, maybe she meant old-fashioned, but it came out sounding like she thought Ricky was modern and cool, and Anya was old and cheesy. Shocking!
6. Jess and all-star Lauren G. danced a Tabitha and Napoleon hip-hop routine to Rihanna's "Take a Bow."
I loved this, and I really do love Jess. He moves like nobody else up there, with so much nuance and style right in his bones. I think that's an advantage he may have as a theatrical or Broadway dancer; the other dancers seem more like blank canvases compared to him. Once Gaga broke the ice on being critical in her judging, there was no turning back, and for this routine it was NappyTabs' turn to get some not-so-subtle digs, especially about the props. She hated the prop flower. Now I just saw Gaga perform live at the American Idol finale, where she danced upon some huge Close Encounters of the Third Kind monolith with dancers randomly draped about the base of it. It was pointless and distracting, so she ain't lying when she says she "loves a good prop." So why she be hating on the innocent flower? Yeouch.
7. Tadd and all-star Lauren F. (last season's winner!) danced a Mandy Moore jazz routine to Queen's "Another One Bites the Dust."
Image courtesy FOX
This was a fun one, and I'll agree 100% with Nigel, who couldn't believe how much maturity and style Lauren brought to it. I wasn't a big fan of hers before, but I thought she was hot in this. I thought it was dynamic and sharp and sexy. I liked Lauren better in this than I ever liked her last season. But you might notice that's a lotta talking about Lauren: She outshined Tadd. The most I remember about him is that his hat fell off. I mean, OK, he was an effective foil to her, but it was all about her.
8. Marko and Allison all-star danced a Sonya Tayeh contemporary routine to "Jeff Buckley's I Know It's Over."
I love Allison. Seriously, like Rob Marshall said: She's an artist. And some other guy was dancing, too. OK, yes, Marko was good. The routine was beautiful overall, not least because of the Jeff Buckley soundtrack. I watched it twice to make sure I wasn't so distracted by her that I didn't notice him being totally amazing, because the judges were just over the moon. And I'll stand by thinking he was really, really good, but simply doesn't yet have her commitment and artistry.
Then, the dancers were paired off with each other:
1. Caitlynn and Tadd danced a Jonathan Roberts foxtrot to Ella Fitzgerald's "Top Hat, White Tie and Tails."
This was...nice, especially considering it was outside their style. When they were dancing side by side, showing off their personalities, it was especially good. When they were dancing in frame, it wasn't quite as on the money, but I was impressed in general. Caitlynn has really made the best impression on me in ballroom, first in last week's tango and now with a lovely foxtrot.
2. Marko and Ricky danced a Tabitha and Napoleon hip-hop routine to Diddy's "Bad Boy 4 Life."
This old-school hip-hop routine, complete with Marko and Ricky dressed up as janitors, did not drive me wild. I only really started to really like it when the music picked up. So I totally get why Gaga did not go gaga over it. But again with the dissing of the choreography (and the props) -- Gaga was even harsher on this routine than she was on Nappy Tabs's first number. You see, they just don't do that on this show. Now, sometimes, on Dancing with the Stars, the choreographers get a little bit of the criticism -- because the choreographers are the pro partners, and technically they're competing too. On SYTYCD, they typically leave the choreographers alone. No one gave Gaga the memo. Luckily OompaLoopmaBoehner was there to come to the choreographer's defense, basically telling Gaga to back off. Thank goodness they were seated on opposite sides of the judging table!
3. Jordan and Jess danced a Jason Gilkison rumba to Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain."
This was maybe the most meh routine of the night. I didn't get caught up in it. I didn't buy that there was any real attraction there. I can't say they didn't do the steps; I'm sure they did, but meh to the meh anyway. And? Her dress was really unflattering.
4. Melanie and Sasha danced a Sonya Tayeh jazz routine to District 78's "Game On."
So yeah, put two girls in Blade Runner outfits and mohawks, acting like Mad Max robots, have cool lighting and techno music, and have it go last -- that, apparently, is the recipe for a mutual, simultaneous judgegasm about the number. Was it really all that? I feel like I've seen it before (poor, jaded moi!), and I actually thought they weren't always really well synched. I just didn't quite love it like everyone else. Again...just me?
To end the night there was a weird shoe-throwing ritual involving Lady Gaga and her big-ass Alexander McQueen horse hooves, if horses were red and had two-foot-high hooves.
By then I was a little over the drama.Bottom Line for the Bottom:
So, are they really going to do a bottom three when there are only four of each gender left? I'm going to guess there's a bottom two, and that they will be:
Boys: Ricky and Jess, with Ricky going home.
Girls: Caitlynn and Jordan, with Caitlynn going home.
But what did you think?

Me and Reiki in a few words
Life offers us lots of surprises and I haven't been an exception in her agenda.
10 years ago, I didn't have any motives to turn my attention towards alternative medicine or spirituality being a graduate in Economics and with a full time job at a well-known, prestigious High School in my town.
It all began on the day my 11 years old son became ill out of blue and couldn't walk anymore. That day was the start of my journey in Reiki, the journey to heal my son.
It was love at first sight and my first attunement it's still vivid in my memory!
Throughout the years, due to numerous treatment sessions, study carried and experienced gained I loved Reiki more and with each day I can't be grateful enough for everything that offers me.
Now, in 2017, my son is a student in Bioscience and I'm a Reiki Master Teacher and Practitioner acknowledged by Japan, Romania and United Kingdom.
I managed to learn from the best masters such that my lineage to be as closest to Micao Usui, but the most I've put in practice what I've learned being of use for those with depression, anxiety, multiple sclerosis, recovery after surgery, low self-esteem, terminal illnesses among many others.
Apart from my daily profession as a mother I share my passion as a Reiki teacher and a professional Reiki practitioner in Frinton-on-Sea, Colchester and London. The teaching method is the official Japanese one.
I also hold workshops and practice meetings in United Kingdom and Romania. I offer treatments and group sessions in exchange for donation towards various charities in UK such as: MS-UK, Sue Rider, Cancer, Mind, Schools for children with special needs, Hospices for children and adults and more upcoming in the near future.
I'm acknowledged as a Master Teacher and Practitioner by Romanian Reiki Centre, Gendai Reiki Network Japan and Reiki Federation UK.
What I have to offer
1. One on one treatments
Using the techniques, knowledge and experience gained throughout time, the patient will receive the treatment suited for his certain situation and needs. Along with the patient will be established the necessary programs and steps required for his healing.
2. Group treatments
Every participant to the group treatment will benefit from: treatment, establishing each one's needs and learning some techniques that will be in hand on day to day basis wherever they'll be. The beauty of a group treatment resides in exponentially multiplying the energies of the participants giving a much more powerful healing effects than an individual one.
3. Courses
I teach after original manuals of Gendai Reiki and Komyo Reiki from Level I to Master.
4. Workshops of practice and study
For all my students and for those who want to broaden their horizons
"Carmen is professional, empathic and a true healer. I highly recommend Carmen she is a beautiful person."
Nicola Robinson
"Carmen is fantastic, very professional and has helped my daughter no end. Very highly recommend."

Hard to believe that I've gone a full year since my last cigarette. I would love to say I never think about them, but every time I walk into Circle K past the people smoking outside I love the smell. Many times I have been tempted to "just have a couple", but I know I would get right back into smoking like a chimney as soon as I did.
ON THIS DAY IN HISTORY : July 31, 1972 - Three IRA car bombs exploded on Main Street in Claudy, County Londonderry, in Northern Ireland. Six people were killed that day and another three would die later as a result of their injuries. Among those killed was 9-year-old Kathryn Eakin who was cleaning the windows of her family grocery store when the attack occured. Evidence would later implicate a Catholic parish priest in the bombing.
