An Open Letter to Martin Margiela/
Dear Martin Margiela,
I have never been a "fan" of your work as much as a deep admirer. If I were to sum up my personal style in a few words it would be classy, sexy, glamour, and your pieces could easily be called the antithesis of that. However to me, you were a designer in the original sense of the word. You found inspiration where there often was none to be seen, in dusty old wigs and tarnished canvases. You bought new meaning to the word deconstruction, revolting against the luxury machine that turned out loud, flashy pieces destined for socialites and celebutantes. You didn't need to take a grand bow after each show, communicating with the press only via fax or email. You didn't even need a logo, identifying your garments only with a non-descript white tag and number. Perhaps you abruptly left your label to escape the fluorescent glare of the fashion industry, to live your life free from its gaze. You had been dubbed "Fashion's Invisible Man" and maybe your clothes were always for people who wanted to remain invisible in a way, not those that longed be part of the crowd.
The influence of your art has reappeared in subtle ways in the collections of many designers, then that impact trickled down to mass retail. Distressed denim, exaggerated shoulders, frayed, unfinished seams, and clashing prints and materials all owe a debt to you. Your runway shows were at times humorous and horrifying, and above all, made us wonder why. When the owners of your namesake brand decide to enter such a widely commercial venture as this collaboration with H&M, there is no way it can do justice to what you created. Of course labels like Versace, Roberto Cavalli and Jimmy Choo can succeed with these collections, as the core of their brand can transcend luxury production and be appropriated for wider distribution. But this MMM x H&M collection lacks the insight and intellectual capacity that made your work intriguing. The "circle shirt" and "horizontal dresses" hold no weight to the outrageous shapes you cut from fabric yet made stand like concrete walls. The silver leggings are just hallow shell of the mirrored tights you did for your 20th anniversary show that could almost double as armor.
On Friday fashion lovers all over the world will revel in wearing clothes that they think you had a hand in creating and by next year the pieces will be turned into Halloween costumes or thrown away. The crowds will then wait for the next big name joining forces with a high-street brand, so they can stock up on clothes that to them are just trendy. Ironic enough, as you saw beauty in what had been cast aside before fashion became almost synonymous with disposable. I would love to one day see what you would do with the pounds of clothing being discarded every day.

Here at Going Places we have been slowly crafting our Community Living Agreements together. When we kicked off the community in February, we hadn't refined our community decision making process so the first month or so it was sometimes tricky to figure out how to move forward on something. Figuring out a decision making process was one of the first decisions we made together as a community. What we landed on is a system that allows us to gauge interest really quickly by offering literal thumbs ups for proposals we're excited about.
Community Projects & Maintenance Lists
My Journey to Tiny Cohousing
Here at our tiny cohousing community, Going Places, we all share the main floor of the common house, which has a kitchen, dining room, living room, bathroom, and a flexible space called the Req Room (you Harry Potter fans out there know what we're talking about!) In addition to all this shared space, we also have two tiny houses on the property, The Lucky Penny and Tiny for Two (T42), which act as detached bedrooms.
Earth Day Texas Recap
his past weekend I had the opportunity to teach two sessions of the Tiny House Collaborative Tiny House Community & Zoning Workshop at Earth Day Texas (EDTx) in Dallas, Texas. Lee and I co-taught since BA was the coordinator for the tiny house village at the event.
We are Going Places
A Tiny House Whirlwind
The past few weeks have been a whirlwind of tiny house events on both coasts! Four weeks ago today I was headed to the East Coast for Tiny House 101 in DC. Three weeks ago today I was on my way to Vermont to teach Tiny House Design-Build at Yestermorrow. During the 2-week course we constructed the shell of a tiny house on wheels for a fellow named Nick who, at 26 years old, is super clever about establishing housing stability and flexibility. I wish I had been so wise at that age! During the evenings we had studio time to explore tiny house design considerations and students worked on creating their own tiny house designs. If you'd like a sense of the day-by-day flow of this course, you can check out previous posts about Tiny House Design-Build.
We wrapped up there a week ago tomorrow and I flew across the country again to be back home in time to speak at the Tiny House Conference, which was in Portland this year. I've been at all four of the Tiny House Conferences now and it's neat how it alternates between the East Coast and the West Coast. I spoke about Tiny House Community on Saturday and then facilitated the Open Space session on Sunday. During the rest of the time I joined Track C, a new addition to the Conference this year for those of us who are already living or building tiny. It was fun to have conversations about the future of the movement and to swap stories of our biggest mistakes! The Conference is always a great opportunity to connect with fascinating folks from all over the place and I look forward to hearing updates about people's tiny house journeys!
On Monday BA Norrgard and I led a Tiny House Community & Zoning Workshop through the Tiny House Collaborative. We explored various tiny house community models, discussed zoning challenges and opportunities, and laid out some steps (and tips) for creating tiny house community. We were fortunate to have an awesome venue at the Cully Grove Common House so we were able to talk about creating community in the community living room of a very cool community! We also had some special guests join us, including Alexis Deharts Stephens of Tiny House Expedition who (along with her partner Christian) has probably visited every tiny house community in the country! We also had a panel discussion with four community members from two different tiny cohousing communities in Portland. Thanks again, Tony, Karin, Lori and Kyra! It was fun to show people our tiny house community and to have Pam Westra show off three of the tinies at Tiny Digs, Portland's other tiny house hotel. (I've written about Caravan - The Tiny House Hotel in the past and I love that tiny houses are so popular in Portland that we now have TWO tiny house hotels!)
On Tuesday I attended the Build Small Coalition meeting, which is a reconvened group previously dubbed the Space-Efficient Housing Working Group. This is Portland's collection of professionals working to support tiny houses, ADUs, micro apartments, and other space-efficient creative housing solutions. It was great to see familiar faces and hear their updates as well as meeting new folks who are taking on neat projects. I look forward to seeing what we accomplish this coming year! I have a hunch it's going to be another big year for small homes!
Camping in T42
Why Tiny House Workshops Are Worth The Investment
People often tell me that they'd love to taken one of our tiny house workshops but they can't afford it. I respond by telling them that if they're serious about building a tiny house they really can't afford NOT to come to a workshop. The few hundred dollars they invest in the workshop will save them significant time, money, and heartache since they'll gather information and learn from other's mistakes. Fortunately, my friend and colleague Alek recently wrote this post about the benefits of taking one of our Tiny House Collaborative workshops. So in case you're not on the Tiny House Collaborative mailing list, I am cross-posting it here. Enjoy and feel free to respond in the comments. Thanks!"
Our. House. Is. Too. Big.
We're really excited to move into our new tiny house, T42, as soon as it's ready and create shared space here in the big house. In the meantime, over the past four weeks Isha and I have been composing a list of all the reasons we know we're still in the tiny house phase of our lives. We've made a handy reference list so that you can determine whether you're ready to transition from a big house to a tiny house (or know what to prepare yourself for if you ever need to make the transition from a tiny house to a "normal" American home!)
My Gratitude Short List
Gratitude is a habit of mine anyhow. I note my gratitudes in a journal and when we sit down to eat we all say something we're grateful for. Science shows that people who are grateful are more happy. I can attest that that's true for me. And I love this day that is dedicated to being appreciative of the people, experiences, and things that make our lives better.

Métisser Pâtisserie [Wine . Cheese . Dessert] event, Penang.
Métisser is coming up with an interesting event which involves wine pairing with assorted cheese and four different kinds of petite dessert (Petit Four). Thank you Métisser for inviting me to the trial session of this event.
The moment I stepped into Métisser, other than the soothing ambience which attracted me, I was impressed with the elegant table setting. Wine glasses and tableware were pleasantly arranged in a formal way, leaving a very good impression.
The guests who attended that evening came from different background with different professions, and after a short introduction, the first wine of the evening was served. We started off with Chilean 'Marea Valle de Leyda' Pinot Noir. This is my favourite wine for that evening, the texture was smooth with a delicate, perfumed taste. The wine was followed by a cheese platter which consists of White Stilton Cranberry cheese, Tete du Moine and Applewood smoked cheddar. Grapes and almond nuts were served together as a palate refresher. The shop manager, Ying Sern professionally explained the different types of cheese and the way to pair it with the red wine before we excitedly dig in our plate.
We had White Stilton Cranberry cheese (on the left), which is a dessert cheese as the starter. The sweet and crumbly cheese blends well with the great taste of succulent cranberry for a rich, fruity flavour. Next, we moved on to Tete du Moine, which was originated from Switzerland. It was served differently from most cheeses in that instead of being sliced, it was shaved. The flavour is somewhat strong and has a combination of spicy, a little bit of fruity, salty, beefy and even barnyardy taste playing around the palate. I tried eating it with grapes and the pungency just oozed out. The last cheese we had on the plate was Applewood smoked cheddar. Although it is called smoked cheese, it is not smoked but treated with artificial smoke flavouring, and doesn't leave a burnt aftertaste. It is fairly dense and has a light smoky flavour that balances very well with the paprika which was coated on the cheese.
With our satisfied palate with the cheeses and wine, we moved on to our next glass which was the 'Trimbach Gewürztraminer'. It is a dry white with full, balanced and very aromatic notes of lychee, rose and ginger. This wine was meant to pair with the Petit Four. On the dessert plate we had Hazelnut Paris Brest, followed by Tarte au Citron (read: lemon tart) and Infinité de Litchi et Noix de Muscade (read: nutmeg + lychee dessert), and Opéra (read: chocolate ganache and coffee mousseline with almond) to end our palate. As usual, desserts in Métisser never fail to thrill me. The dessert sensation was absolutely satisfying. The pastry chef, Jeffrey always amuses me with his passion and creative ideas on desserts and pastries. We also paired the dessert with another wine called 'Tempus Two Blanc de Blancs'. This is a zesty and refreshing sparkling wine with concentrated fruit flavours of peach, passionfruit and green apple. It is very well balanced with the refreshing citrus finish.
By the time I finished my dessert, my face was glowing like a red tomato. I don't have high tolerance for alcohol and I tend to get Asian flush very quickly. Despite that, it was definitely an enjoyable session with purposeful conversations, laugher and more happily, making new friends! Bravo to Métisser and team for coming up with this awesome event!
There will be a rotation of the wine, cheese and dessert, meaning nothing is fixed on the menu. The wine, cheese and dessert will be paired perfectly to suit one's palate. Customisation is also available upon request. This event is not just about tasting quality food, it is also about learning new things each time and giving guests a whole new experience. Not only that, it is also a good opportunity to build some new and valuable network.
Métisser is starting the event this month and they will do one run once they have a minimum party of 8 pax. The wine, cheese and dessert pairing evening session is charged at MYR80.00 per person. Advance reservation is highly recommended.
Thank you again Métisser for the warm invitation and thank you Daniel Yee for the lovely photos!

Now that I finally have some time on my hands after returning from the One of a Kind, I can update my blog and show pictures of my journey. This will probably be the longest post ever, but there's so much to catch up on.
At first, I was nervous about driving the van, but I was an old pro by the time I was heading home to Ottawa.
I was excited to see the 'exhibitors entrance'. It made me feel like I had really accomplished something big.
This is my booth before the set up. It was a bit of setting-up frenzy on Tuesday morning, but it worked out in the end. I also changed things around on Wednesday morning. More big sculptures and less clutter. It worked much better.
This is my Soup Bowl that I had in the Campbell Soup Bowl Competition. I signed an agreement with them that Campbell's can use my bowl for 2-6 months. I wonder what they are going to do with it. Several people were interested in buying it, but they will have to wait...or I could make new ones...Hmmm...
I have the best friends! Thanks for coming to see me and hang out with me!!!
Nadine and me
Charity with the crazy hat I made her a few years ago. One of the few things I am going to do in December is make her a new one. Fun!
Tania and James playing with ColourForms on their heads.
Sarah, lounging on the fun-fur bench:
Thanks also to Yvette and Jen! I don't know why, but I never took any pictures of you when my booth was up! Thanks Tiffany, for driving all the way from Ottawa to see the show! Thank you to all for all you help and fun. It sure made those 11 hour show days pass by with lots of laughs.
I was also lucky to be beside Paul Boddum for 6 days. It was great to meet him and hang out with him. At shows like this, its important to get along with booth neighbours and share stories and snacks! (like the spice cake his wife Krissy made, yummy!)
Here's a picture of the coolest glass blowers at the show: Tsunami Glass Works by Kris and Eva. They make the most gorgeous glass and are opening a glass studio in Windsor, ON. This is Kris at the booth. I think Eva is hiding. Ha ha.
Here's a picture of how one of the exhibitors spends her time at her booth. Watching TV!!! Apparently, she was a big hit on Survivor and Apprentice night. Some people just need their TV!
Then there was the clean-up. It really made me realize what a huge and crazy show this is. So much organization! I always find it interesting to see the 'aftermath' of a show. Everything had been so tidy and presentable and then everything get taken apart. This is the storage area.
Me with the dolly for the last load! Jen, thanks so much for helping!!!
Enroute to a custom order appointment in Monday, traffic was bit backed up due to Toronto's first snowfall. I also got a bit of a push from some nice men at Seneca College who were helping people get their cars up the slippery hill. It if wasn't for them, I'd still be spinning my tires on Finch! It took me 7 hours to drive back to Ottawa (usually takes 5hrs)
And now I am HOME!!
What a huge acheivement it was to do this show! I think I need to week off to do nothing and then another week to recuperate from doing nothing and then a week analyze this show. I have been on a non-stop art-making frenzy since September and its important to take a step back and mull things over before taking the next step forward. Yay for getting tackling a huge show and I'm excited to see where all this is will take me next.

THE Queen braved a traditional Mancunian drenching to charm the city with her deadpan humour.
The Queen, in Manchester for the first time in two years since the rain-soaked Commonwealth Games closing ceremony, turned round another "horribilis" week for the Royal Family with sheer magnetism.
She laughed and joked with well-wishers during a walkabout after signing a charter to mark the official launch of the city's new super-university.
And she impressed one student by taking an interest in his chosen choice of career - designing lavatory systems!
James Hern, a 22-year-old civil engineering undergraduate, said: "She asked me what I was planning to do and when I said I was very interested in sewerage, she said: `That's very useful.'"
The Queen had arrived as her grandson Harry was facing criticism for his public brawl with a photographer outside a London nightclub, but she showed no sign of being troubled by the latest problem to hit the Royal Family.
Shirley Chiu, a university worker living in Sale, said she had first met the Queen when she was a young girl living in Hong Kong.
Shirley said: "I'm very happy and excited to see her for a second time and have the chance to look at her from only a few feet away."
At a ceremony to mark the merger of Manchester University and UMIST the Queen praised the city for its "bold and imaginative" response to the challenges facing higher education.
Earlier she had arrived at Stockport station on the Royal Train.
She visited the Royal School for the Deaf and Communication Disorders in Cheadle Hulme, where crowds lined the streets, waving flags and cheering. Prince Philip was today in the "Valley of Death", reliving a massive but brave military blunder in the Crimean War.
He was commemorating the 150th anniversary of the Charge of the Light Brigade in what is now Ukraine.

David Cay Johnston on "How to avoid a securities class action"
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist and author David Cay Johnston has posted an opinion piece on Reuters providing some advice on "How to avoid a securities class action." He notes that research by Jonathan Rogers, Sarah Zechman, and Andrew Van Buskirk (available here) has shown that the risk of getting sued for stock price declines increases when the price drop is preceded by unusually optimistic statements about future earnings that is paired with insider selling.
While this may seem somewhat obvious, Johnston notes that Gregory Roussel, who coaches executives on "how to talk up their companies without inviting litigation," finds that certain executives are simply reluctant to tone down their enthusiasm. Johnston goes on to note that overly enthusiastic executives may nonetheless find a reprieve by way of the "puffery" defense, which allows those accused of securities fraud to argue their misstatements were immaterial because they were essentially akin to a used car salesman telling a prospective buyer that the car at issue is "great." (For more on the puffery defense, you might want to check out David Hoffman's "The Best Puffery Article Ever." David is also quoted by Johnston in his opinion piece.)
However, Johnston cites my paper "Is Puffery Material to Investors? Maybe We Should Ask Them" for the proposition that judges are perverting the definition of materiality, which turns on what a reasonable investor would consider important, when they extend this doctrine to securities transactions too frequently. In the paper, I argue that courts should survey investors before concluding as a matter of law that no reasonable investor would consider the alleged puffery material. My own survey findings, which I discuss in the paper, suggested that judges are prone to doing a very bad job of predicting what actual investors would consider material. Courts are already familiar with using surveys this way, as it is relatively common in Lanham Act cases.
Regardless, Johnston ultimately concludes that:
[C]ompanies should make their insiders put proceeds from stock sales into escrow for some period of time — 90 days ought to do it — after upbeat executive statements. If the price drops during that time, make them take the lower price or wait until the price recovers.

What happens when you mix Christmas, politics, Twitter and the ongoing emotional meltdown on the cultural left in the wake of the 2016 presidential race?
Trust me, the answer to that question is a bit crazy.
So was anyone else on Twitter enough in the past day or so to catch the latest mini-media storm about Christians in the Republican Party and the ugliness of their love affair with Citizen Donald Trump?
That's one way to spin this crazy mess. You could also simply note that we are dealing with another case of a major newsroom -- wait, is BuzzFeed a major newsroom? -- failing to contain even one or two people who have any idea how ordinary Christians out in Middle America use language when talking about matters of faith?
For those out of the digital feedback loop, here is the dramatic double-decker headline atop the BuzzFeed "story" that is in the middle of all this:
People Are Arguing About Whether Republicans Just Compared Trump To Jesus
A Republican spokesman said Christians view only Jesus as king and to ask otherwise was "frankly offensive."
What does it mean to say that "people are arguing about" something? Does that mean a few activists on the left served up a bunch of wisecracks and then people responded by noting that they were out of their minds?
If you want to look at this as a journalism case study, then the former GetReligionista Mark Hemingway put it best in this tweet:

Short flight times to Puerto Rico can make it an easy Caribbean getaway with kids. (Photo: Jack Hollingsworth/Photodisc/Getty Images )
Puerto Rico is a U.S. commonwealth island in the Caribbean. From many places on the east coast and Midwest of the mainland United States, it is a relatively quick flight, between two and three hours from air hubs such as New York City and Chicago. Traveling there with kids is relatively easy, as it not considered an international destination; U.S. citizens are not required to have passports to enter and leave the country. The island has plenty for kids to do, including beaches, museums, amusement parks and outdoor recreation.
Gather your documentation. While each airline has different requirements for children's identification, you will likely be required to present your child's birth certificate or photo identification at multiple points in the airport; at check in, at security and at the gate. U.S. citizens of at least 18 years of age will need valid government-issued photo identification for entry.
Prepare your child for the trip. If your kids are old enough to understand, let them know that you're traveling to a tropical climate and what they should expect in terms of weather and wildlife. Talk to them about language and cultural differences, so that they are not blindsided by not speaking the same language or eating the same foods. While many people in Puerto Rico speak English and share similar cultural references, there are remote places on the island that do not.
Pack wisely. Puerto Rico's climate can be hot and humid year-round. Pack comfortable summer clothing for the kids and take extra sunscreen. The tropical sun can be harsh on both children and adults who are unused to it. Additionally, car seats are required for younger children, so if you're renting a car, consider bringing your own from home.
Make reservations at a kid-friendly hotel. While Puerto Rico is almost wholly child-friendly, there are a few party spots where you may not want to stay with your kids. Call ahead to discuss the atmosphere at the hotel. Major hotels and resorts frequently have babysitting services, however, child care may be difficult to find at smaller accommodations.

Those in the know now use Firefox to surf the web.
The free browser from the Mozilla Foundation beats Microsoft's Internet Explorer hands down for functionality and has rescued us from endless security problems.
But it looks like someone has called International Rescue again as Mozilla has now launched a free email client tool called Thunderbird, this time saving us from that Microsoft virus magnet known as Outlook Express.
It's impossible to write about this without a few puns referring to Gerry Anderson's puppet creation, the enduring popularity of which has survived the CGI enhanced post-Star Wars era, or without typing "Thunderbirds are go" at some stage.
However, there are no strings attached to the use of Mozilla's Thunderbird which enables you to manage your email, handle RSS news feeds and access the Usenet news groups without the fear of virus infestation commonly associated with Outlook and Outlook Express.
Perhaps Thunderbird's best feature is its mail filtering ability. You can basically train it to recognise what you regard as junk and it will automatically delete similar mail for you in the future - thank you Parker, that will be all.
Another must-have feature, in an age where so many digital cameras have fallen into the wrong hands, is the ability to not download emails with attachments over a certain size.
You can read the message subject, then decide if you really want to tie your computer up for the next hour downloading pictures of your cousin's wedding that you had to endure in person the weekend before (where were International Rescue that day?)
You don't need a marionette called Brains to install Thunderbird for you either, as it comes with a wizard that will import all your existing email settings, mail folders and address books.
The main advantage of using both Firefox and Thunderbird is the improved security they give. However, to be fair to Microsoft, the extra security might just be due to their current obscurity. Virus writers may not consider the Mozilla platform worth targeting yet, or regard Mozilla as quite such a deserving victim as Microsoft.
Case in point, as Firefox gained popularity a security hole that assisted phishing exploits was discovered, but has now been fixed in the current release.
Mozilla will argue that Thunderbird has been designed with security in mind. It disables scripts by default, preventing common email viruses from running; it also ignores embedded messages from anyone not in your address book. So even when it inevitably does become popular you'll still be safe from the evil Hood.
The Mozilla Foundation has much in common with International Rescue. Its staff may not all be from the same family and live inside a hollowed out volcano on an island called Tracy, but their altruistic goals are the same.
And they both turn up with the right bit of kit, just when you need it.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Right tackle Daryl Williams said he's never experienced the type of pain he endured when he injured his right knee during Saturday morning's practice, but after returning to Charlotte for further testing, his spirits are high all things considered.
"Daryl Williams dislocated his right patella and tore the medial collateral ligament in his right knee in this morning's practice," head athletic trainer Ryan Vermillion said in a statement. "We are beginning the early stages of rehabilitation, and there is currently no timetable for his return."
Midway through practice, Williams suffered the injury when he set up to pass block, falling to the turf and screaming in pain. After being attended to by trainers and consoled by teammates, Williams was carted off the field.
"I just remember my foot getting stuck in the ground and kind of buckling," Williams said in a phone conversation, adding that he had "not ever" experienced that level of pain in his life. "I feel way better than when I did it, and I'm definitely in good spirits.
"God has a plan, and it could have been worse."
After the practice, head coach Ron Rivera said that Taylor Moton, a second-round draft choice in 2017, would be the next man up if Williams were sidelined. Moton expressed confidence in his ability to fill in for Williams, named a second-team All-Pro last season. Moton also expressed his heartfelt concern for Williams, something many of his teammates did and something that will help fuel him as he begins his rehab.
"It means a lot," Williams said. "Everybody on the team came up to me, told me they're praying for me and wanting to make sure I'm OK. It means a lot, how they showed that they care for me.
"I definitely know what it takes. I'm going to hit it hard and do what I can, do my best."

You don't need justice. My darling, believe me, you deserve it. You deserve to be heard. You deserve to be validated and consoled. You deserve to see the person who hurt you own it and try to be better. You deserve to walk into a room without the yoke of their lies strangling you, as you feel the hatred of people who will never understand burn through you.
You deserve to be seen - For your strength, your courage, your brave and loving heart, your gentle soul, your fierce determination, your voice, your healing, and the deep wounds you have carried for so long.
They will try to convince you that these wounds are your fault. They will try to tell you that, "You made them this way. You brought it on yourself. You were the reason for their actions." Not that you owe anyone anything, but I want you to do something for me. In your kindest voice, dripping with all the honey of your sweet soul, I want you tell them to fuck right off with that abusive nonsense. You are responsible for yourself. They need to own their actions, and they probably never will.
You deserve so much. You will probably never get it.
You will never get everything you deserve, but Love listen to me: That is okay. You know why? Because YOU are okay. You are more than okay. You are a Phoenix and you turned their pyres into your own glorious rebirth. You did it. You survived. You felt like drowning and you kept your head above water. You were beaten down, lied to, and taken advantage of and you are still here. They tried to pin the blame on you instead of owning their own sins and you said "Enough!" You did it. You fucking did it.
Those wounds might not be fully healed yet but they are showing you where you have bled and refused to succumb. Your scars make your wild heart even more beautiful to those who deserve you and more terrifying to those who don't. You removed the wishbone that was holding you up and replaced it with a spine of steel. You are a warrior. You are finding that voice that was silenced for so long and roaring your truths; this courage will help others to find you, and to find their healing.
You will never get everything you deserve from them, but you should get it from yourself. They tried to use all that is good and beautiful in your soul against you and you are turning it on yourself for once, and giving yourself the love you so freely gave to those who did not earn it. You are continuing to offer those parts to the world. Go gently here. It is more than acceptable if you only have enough energy to nurture yourself for a little while. Don't rush. You deserve this time.
Retreat. Rest. Dance. Paint. Sing. Scream. Cry. Rebuild. Lick your wounds and find yourself. When you do you will emerge more magnificent than ever. You will be ready to give love in ways that respect your boundaries because you will have finally had the time to discover what your boundaries are. Listen. Get acquainted with that voice inside of you - that heaviness that would settle in your gut or tighten your chest - the one they told you was crazy and not to listen to. Listen to them. You will show the world just how well you truly deserve to be loved. You will never accept this treatment again. You will collect back all of your scattered light and become a beacon for those who are about to embark on the same journey.
You will never get what you deserve from them but baby, you never needed them anyway.

Polly Johnston is a young British artist based in London. The works of this recent Glasgow School of Art graduate are testimony to her investigation into the boundaries between painting and sculpture. What started as a mistake one day in her studio opened the doors to Johnston's new route of discoveries. Leaving the canvas aside, pouring considerable amounts of viscous paint and letting it run freely onto different surfaces, such as plastic crates or directly onto the wall, allows the artist to create not quite paintings or sculptures, but rather what could be considered sculptural paintings or painterly sculptures.

Growing with CO2 Intro + Ex-Hale CO2 Bag Review
What up cannabis Growers and welcome back for another lit episode of GreenBox Grown! now in today's video I will be covering CO2 use in the grow room, and how you can use it to speed up and get rapid vegetative growth as well as increase your bud sizes and yields. So today's videos going to be an in-depth explanation and overview of how to use CO2 and the different options and kind of how it's going to help you increase your bud growth production as well as Vegetative growth. Now you'll see here I have an Ex-Hale Bag, which is kind of an entry-level option for setting up some CO2 in your grow room. I will also cover the other options that are available.
Now as I was saying, today is just kind of an overview and intro to the use of CO2 with growing cannabis, but if you do want to see the kind of results you can get and how I use it through an entire grow series. I will be having some videos put up shortly on my website where you can watch day-by-day how this can help your plants. And if you want to check that out, just visit the link right here and you will need to subscribe to our premium content videos. But again if you do that it comes with a two-week free trial so you can try them out free of charge before paying anything, you can cancel at anytime.
Now before I get started with today's video I do want to mention that CO2 is not like a miracle fix or something you can just add to any grow room and instantly get amazing results and increases in your yields. Now it is something that a beginner Grower can use, but I don't recommend it because it is only going to work really well first if you have everything down pat in terms of your grow light, your nutrients, your medium, you know watering schedule and conditions. If certain things are off in the grow room before adding the CO2, the CO2 isn't really going to make much of a difference.
So CO2 is really just a thing that puts your plants over the top once you have maxed all the other options out. So definitely keep that in mind before you set up a CO2 system or even invested these bags. Now these bags do work really well if you are at that level, so now let's go check out some more details about CO2 in the grow room, and how you can utilize it to max out your yields!
All right guys, so you are probably wondering what's going on with this Ex-Hale bag here, basically it looks like a bag full of dirt or some sort of sledge Or something like that. So with this is actually is some sort of fungus, mushroom type of growth going on, and one of its outputs is CO2. This bag will actually last for up to a I believe this one's a year, yeah this one is actually they are 6 months to a year. I believe this one's the 365 which means it will last for a whole year, but anyways that grows will continue to produce a lot of CO2 coming out of there.
And then actually right here is actually vent where you will see the CO2 is going to come out of. and so you will see the vent right here, and so if you have a CO2 meter you can put it right by here to get the best readings of what kind of pp on the levels it is putting out. But anyways you will see this is a little hanger for hanging it in your grow room and we will go over that in more detail later on in this video.
But anyways before we get into details on how CO2 is really going to help with your plants, I first want to explain why it is important to increase the CO2 levels in your grow tent. So as you guys no plans actually use CO2 like humans use oxygen, so plants breathe in CO2 and breathe out oxygen. Humans do the exact opposite, but the CO2 AIDS in the photosynthesis process so increasing the amount of CO2 in there will allow for there to be more energy to be produced in the plant. And that will lead to faster vegetative growth as well as bigger buds during the flowering phase. So on planet Earth here in our atmosphere the average CO2 levels or around 400 ppm's which isn't harmful to humans obviously.
But once you get around 3000 PPM of CO2 in the atmosphere that is when it becomes toxic for us to breathe in. Now plants have been tested to be able to benefit from CO2 levels as high as or even higher than 10000 PPM, and I obviously that isn't going to be possible in your grow room is that would be really dangerous to have. What Growers have found to work really well as to have a range of around 1200 ppm's to 2000 PPM in the grow room. And that will really help with increasing Bud growth as well as yields. And gross have actually experienced up to 25% extra yields just from using higher CO2 levels. Now something I kind of alluded to earlier on in the video is that increasing the CO2 levels alone is not enough to get these increased year olds. So you want to make sure everything in the tent like you know the climate, lights, nutrients everything like I was mentioning before.
You want to make sure those are all on point and you got them set up and working really well. Because if you do not have those set up properly it is not going to matter how much CO2 you add into the grow room it will not really help the plant. Another thing that is really important as you will want to increase the amount of watts of lighting you have in the grow room once you add the CO2. The reason you have this is because it isn't the CO2 by itself that increases the bud growth, but like I was saying in that photosynthesis process it actually makes it so the plant is able to create more energy. So without that extra lighting to help it turn that CO2 into energy, all it is going to give the plant is CO2 toxicity. And the reason behind that is without the extra lighting it can't use that extra amount of CO2 you provided the plants.
So to give you guys a loose comparison, it is kind of like with people taking steroids and not working out. They are not going to see any benefits or larger muscles from that process. And it's just like the plants, you can give them all the CO2 that you want but if you don't increase the amount of energy and power that they are receiving from the lights, they are not going to be able to use that CO2 to create more energy and growth with the plants. Obviously comparing steroid use to growing cannabis is pretty different and wild but just kind of a good analogy there for you guys to use as a comparison.
Another thing does important to realize it when you increase the level of CO2 in the grow room, the plants are going to be able to handle extra heat and actually the higher temperatures are going to be preferred by the plants with those new CO2 levels. What is really convenient since you probably are going to be adding more lights or turning the light dials up higher, they are probably going to be putting out a little more heat anyways. But anyways a temperature around 85 to 90 degrees maybe 80 to 90 Fahrenheit is What Growers have actually found to be really good when you increase those CO2 levels to that 1200 to 2000 PPM range. I already covered the CO2 bag here, but there are also other options such as compressed CO2 or even a CO2 generator. Now those are definitely more expensive options which is why I said this is more of the entry-level option.
But if you are willing to invest, definitely worth going with either the compressed where the CO2 generator. When setting up your CO2 system in the tent, it is important that the entry level of the CO2 is from the top of the tent. Reason being is CO2 is a heavier gas than oxygen so if you want it essentially rain down on the plants as they call it or just have it so it is coming out on top of the tent and then falling down on top of the plant so they can breathe it in that way. If you just put the CO2 in the bottom of the tent or enters at the bottom of the tent, it is just going to stay down below there the plants are not going to be able to breathe it in.
So that is where this hanger comes into place, it allows you to hang it from the top of your grow tent. And I recommend putting it in the opposite corner of where your carbon filter is, so that that filter doesn't just suck it out of the tent right away. So that concludes our entry level overview of CO2 used in the grow room and how it can help increase vegetative growth as well as Bud yields. A couple things I want you guys to take away from this video. First off remember that it is really important to have everything else in the grow room or your setup to be on point and perfect so that there isn't anything else that you can perfect or increase the quality of before adding the CO2.
Because again this is something you want to use just to put your plans over the top, you've already maxed out all of the other options for increasing the quality and growth in your plants and so now you just need that one added supplement in that is where the CO2 comes in. And like I was saying if your plants are not doing well or you do not have that grow room dialed-in properly, CO2 is not going to help them Out and it actually will probably just harm the plants because they are just going to get a little toxic from that CO2 and not being able to use it all properly. Also remember that it is really important to increase the amount of lighting in the grow room so the plants can use that extra CO2 that is in there.
And then also to increase that temperature if the grow lights are not doing that. Again you want to be in that 80 to upper 80 range Fahrenheit out at 90 degrees. And then finally I highly recommend starting off with one of these CO2 grow bags before investing into one of those CO2 systems like one of those compress CO2 setup or CO2 generators. Reason being is these are much cheaper and they are just going to show you what kind of results you can get from the CO2 before having to spend a bunch of money on it.
Alright grower so that concludes today's video and overview of how to use CO2 in your grow room to maximize bud yields as well as increase your vegetative growth. Now I will be uploading a few new grow series here including a gorilla glue Autoflower one as well as a DWC grow out in my big tent. But I will be utilizing these Ex-Hale CO2 bags in there so you can watch day by day how does it benefit the plant. And again if you want to check out those videos you'll need to subscribe to the premium content section of our website. And you can do that right here via this link coming again it is $14.99/mo.
But first when you sign up you will get a 2 Week free trial so you will not be charged anything at that time and can cancel this package at anytime as well if you decide you don't want to stay with it. And you will not be charged anything until after that two-week trial is up. All right folks so as always thank you for watching today's video, I hope you guys enjoyed, and until next time…
Happy Growing!

HAPPY THANKSGIVING!One of the best things I've ever bought myself was this food processor. I think I paid around $40. at Krogers...a few years back. It wasn't until recently, on my quest to be even more thrifty, that I've put it to good use! (did you see my cheap potato blog entry a few entries back?)
The other night at Meijers, they had 2 bags of fresh cranberries for $4. Don't let me kid you...cranberries are not something on my grocery list every week. But, being caught up in the commericalism of the season- the premature holiday songs blasting in the background and the turkey displays dressed up like Santa... I flipped the bag over and noticed that they're freezable. Hey now..that's all I needed to read...so I tossed two bags in the grocery cart! See now..I did not know they're freezable...did you? The things you can learn off of blogs! smile-wink-nod. Fast forward...I washed them and threw them in the food processor, then pulled out two cups, and spooned them into a freezer bag to make future cranberry breads. I was able to freeze three bagfuls! I was also able to make a quick and easy cranberry-orange sauce to freeze( I found the recipe off the back of the bag)...it's wonderful over oven-baked chicken!
While I was at it..I whipped up two loaves of homemade cranberry bread...which taste just like candy! One loaf is already gone...the boys gobbled it up (pun intended).
Each year, thanks to Five in a Row, the curriculum we used when Tommie was younger, we pull out the Cranberry Thanksgiving book that was actually based on a homeschool unit... and read the book. The truth is, Tommie asked me to read it to him. He'd be utterly humiliated if he knew I put this out on the world wide web...but, he did. Twice! Just like the cover of Five in a Row...this big kid of mine, cuddled up next to me and settled in for a warm memory of the past! Now that my friends, is what homeschooling is all about. Warm memories and warm cranberry bread!
P.S. The bread recipe came from the back of the Cranberry Thanksgiving book.
Happy Thanksgiving...go easy on the mashed potatoes! smile-wink-nod.

Preventability of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism.
- Classic
Haut ER, Lau BD, Kraus PS, et al. JAMA Surg. 2015;150:912-915.
Prevention of hospital-acquired venous thromboembolism (VTE) is a strongly recommended patient safety practice. This retrospective review of hospital-acquired VTE at one tertiary care hospital found that many patients who developed VTE while hospitalized were prescribed appropriate prophylaxis but did not receive all of the prescribed doses. The authors point out that since current quality metrics measure only prescription of VTE prophylaxis and not actual administration, they may overestimate hospital performance on this safety issue. Moreover, nearly half of the patients with VTE had received prophylaxis that is currently considered optimal, an important finding since VTE is often referred to as a "preventable adverse event."

With the deadline fast approaching for candidates to file in the upcoming Bel Air town election, four people have stepped forward thus far to run for two seats on the Board of Town Commissioners.
Candidates can file up to 7 p.m. Friday at Town Hall on Hickory Avenue. The election is Nov. 7, with voting to take place at Town Hall from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Those who have filed so far are incumbent Town Commissioner Patrick Richards and three first-time candidates, Michael D. Kutcher, Amy G. Chmielewski and Christopher Jordan.
Richards, Kutcher and Chemielewski have been certified as eligible by the town Board of Ethics, town Director of Administration Michael Krantz said Thursday morning.
Jordan filed his papers and paid the $25 filing fee on Wednesday, and his paperwork has been sent to the Ethics Board, Krantz said.
A fifth person has picked up filing papers but has not returned them, Krantz said.
The other commissioner whose term is up this year, Robert Preston, is not seeking re-election and will be leaving the Town Board after 15 years. He also served for a decade on the town Planning Commission. He has been the Town Board's vice chairman the past two years.
Bel Air elections are non-partisan. The five Town Board members serve four-year terms and are paid $4,800, with the board chairman, or mayor, receiving $6,000 annually. Terms are staggered, so there is an election every odd year.
Preston has been instrumental in downtown revitalization efforts, the town's financial support for the new Bel Air High School auditorium and the Armory Marketplace development. He and Richards were elected without opposition in 2013, as no other candidates filed.
With Preston's departure, the Town Board continues to experience a somewhat rapid turnover.
Two of the members, commissioners Brendan Hopkins and Philip Einhorn were elected to their first terms in 2015.
Susan Burdette, the board chairman, has been a member since 2011; however, she has already filed to run for a seat on the Harford County Council next year. If she is successful, she would have to step down from her Bel Air post next November.
Richards served on the planning commission before joining the Town Board. He has paid particular attention to budgeting and financial matters and has been an active questioner about expenditures on several town projects.
Richards works in the corporate real estate field and is an active real estate investor and licensed real estate agent, according to his biography on the town website. He lives in Homestead Village with his wife and two children.
In biographical information provided to The Aegis, Kutcher said he has lived in Bel Air since 1989 and belongs to a number of organizations including Moose Lodge No. 1952, American Legion Post No. 39 and the 29th Division Association – Post 39. He was an active leader in Cub Scouts, Boy Scouts and rec programs when his children were growing up.
Kutcher works for Harford County based Digital Innovation Inc., a trauma registry software development company founded by his brother.
Chmielewski said via email Friday that she moved to Bel Air in 1976 when her father retired from the Air Force and has lived in town almost all her life. When her parents moved to Florida, she and her husband purchased her childhood home.
"I've been married to my husband for 21 years and raising two daughters while enjoying the convenience and love for living in town, said Chmielewski who is the varsity field hockey coach at Bel Air High School and serves on the Board of Directors of the Bel Air Downtown Alliance. She also works closely "with a dear friend to support and raise awareness for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society."
About 7,200 residents were eligible to vote in the last town election in 2015, when Burdette was re-elected and Einhorn and Hopkins won their first terms. There were five candidates entered.
The 2015 turnout was less than 6 percent, however, as less than 400 voters cast ballots on the Election Day and 20 absentee ballots were filed.
More information about the Bel Air town election can be found at www.belairmd.org/492/Election-2017.

This is clearly a deliberate misinformation from Bukenya, singing his master's voice. Where and who asked for absolute monarchism? Certainly, not Mengo. People understand the difference between monarchism and federalism. Secondly, the government does not give power – people give power. Anyway, why did Bukenya's refuse to abide by the referenda about federalism? I am sorry to ask – who are Bukenya's parents? (Following on the news article having had the trouble to mention that Bukenya is a Muganda).
I sometimes find cause to indulge into analysing some of the sweeping paradigms, which eventually become beliefs. One such is democracy. One definition: democracy is a political system in which all the members of the society have an equal share of formal political power. How does federalism fail this definition? Instead, we see what is called Ugandan centralism so far (from Obote I, Amin, Obote II, and now Museveni) failing democratic principles by degenerating into oligarchies – the political, economic and military power in Ugandan governments have so far effectively rested upon those elite, who are royal to the presidency (not to the people of Uganda – so, for example, they could remove presidential term limits). Indeed, these families prepare their children to be heirs of the power of the Ugandan oligarchy; wait to see Gabonese succession in Uganda. The kingdom of Buganda and the demand for federalism is simply standing against that centralist oligarchy.
Nonetheless, Bukenya's assertion that once there is one person one vote is democracy is also terribly misleading. Not only have we seen that votes are bought and stolen, particularly in Uganda, but also that it is really financial capacity, which determines the votes in most countries. Absolute democracy (just like absolute monarchism) is currently a myth. On the other hand, federalism brings democracy and political power closer to the people. Federalism differs from Bukenya's decentralisation in that federalism renders political power to federal states – decentralisation simply gives (Bukenya's own words!) some responsibilities to districts, while the central oligarchy holds the political power. The current centralists simply fear to lose their controlling position to loot from the centre.
Moreover, while democracy is bears some desirable attributes, it has been thus desirable in some so called democratic countries for some other hidden interests. In some of the Western democracies, there were fears of community or tribal, often indigenous groups, which the conquering powers, looking for resources to support their economies, deliberately had to obliterate. In the USA, were the Red Indians and one way of liquidating their legitimate claim over the USA was to introduce one person one vote, as soon as the Whites became the majority. So was the case in Australia, as a British extension. In both these cases the aboriginals were killed en mass and rounded up into camps, while at the same time the powers encouraged immigration, not of any other race but Europeans – so as to increase their majorities. THEN they introduced one person one vote. To some extent, this has happened in Buganda – killing, immigration of other tribes, and a demand for one man one vote about the Kingdom of Buganda.
My prediction is that the one person one vote format will change as soon as Whites become minorities in the USA and Australia. In fact, the voices supporting power and representation of minority groups have become louder. The point I am raising is that the one reason for the one vote philosophy is that it has benefitted immigrant majorities – it has enabled control by immigrant majorities. I think this is clearly demonstrated in Bunyoro and Buganda where Bafuruki win elections, and traditional institutions are deliberately being weakened.
Extrapolate my hypothesis to Uganda – some of the people most vocal against federalism are those who enjoy control and plunder of 'national' resources. In similar light, the East African community will help some dispersed ethnic groups like Banyarwanda to simply disappear as a group, while controlling federal governments.

The dashboard shows Trend analysis as it gives you the previous year's data and the % change compared to this year's data.
On selected time periods or marketing event calendar drop down, the dashboard will show the corresponding data and the previous year's number with a color coded Percentage increase or decrease, giving you an instant insight of your present performance over last year's.
The Year over Year comparison will not be shown in the following instances:
- If there is no data for part of the range you selected, either in this year or the previous year you are comparing to - we need to have a full range with data to enable comparisons.
- For all of the "Current" periods since this will involve the present day and some future days, for which there might not be any data yet.
- For the "Rolling 24, 36, 48 month".
- For any custom date ranges since all Year over Year calculations are cached for the preset date ranges, excluding the Current periods and Rolling date ranges.

Ask a QuestionHere are the questions asked by community members. Read on to see the answers provided by the ThriftyFun community or ask a new question.
I was wondering if you had a substitute for marshmallows. It has gelatin and my religion is strictly not allowed to have that. The recipe I was trying to make was called, chocolate chip flutternutter Cheerio bars. So, I was hoping that you had a substitute for marshmallows. Please get back to me soon! I want to make this for my dad's birthday which is next week. Thank you!
There area some gelatin free brands out there on the market, such as Dandies and sweet and sara. Can you use the marshmallow fluff? I don't think it contains gelatin.
FYI, are you aware that many medications, especially those in a capsule form contain gelatin? I work in a pharmacy and many people are not aware that they do.
It looks like you are looking for a vegan marshallow, such as can be found here: http://dandiesmarshmallows.com
They will inevitably be more expensive and I'm not sure how well they work because the gelatin acts as the 'glue' of the various ingredients, though I often use vegan only products and am generally satisfied with the results.
These use tapioca and soy in place of gelatin.
Here is a recipe for gelatin-free marshmallows. http://veganmar -recipe.html?m=1 You could also visit a health food or similar store to see if they have them.
There are some things to look at online to DYI marshmallow and substitutes you can put in the recipe you would like.

As humans, especially Americans, we're fascinated by celebrities of any genre. You can look to memorabilia sales and auction houses for proof. Last June, a pair of Converse basketball shoes worn by Michael Jordan at the Los Angeles 1984 Olympic Games were purchased at auction for a whopping $190,372.
It can be even more of a lucrative business when it comes to Hollywood movies and musicians. Ringo Starr's first drum kit, a Ludwig Oyster Black Pearl with "The Beatles" commissioned on the bass drum sold in December 2015 for a record price of $2,110,000. It was purchased by Jim Irsay, the billionaire owner of the Indianapolis Colts and one of the world's leading collectors of Beatles memorabilia, proving even people in the entertainment industry have fans of other genres!
Sometimes it isn't isn't even about paying big-time money for a big-time item. Many celebs give autographs while they're out to eat or filming in a small town. Kids and grownups alike line up after sporting events to get their favorite player to sign a jersey or program.
The excitement with getting a celebrity's name on something even reaches schools, and in one recent case, an elementary school book. Marley Parker of Ada, Oklahoma was over the moon when she opened her "new" school reader and plain as day was one of country music's biggest superstars name written right on the cover! However, her mother Shelly was mortified.
Head to the next page to see why Shelly was "embarrassed" to see Blake Shelton's name on the book's register…

We believe that children settle best when they have a key person to relate to, who knows them and their parents well, and who can meet their individual needs. Research shows that a key person approach benefits the child, the parents and the staff and the setting by providing secure relationships in which children thrive, parents have confidence, staff are committed and the setting is happy and dedicated place to attend or work in.
We want children to feel safe, stimulated and happy in the setting and to feel secure and comfortable with staff. We also want parents to have confidence in both their children's wellbeing and their role as active partners with the setting.
We aim to make the setting a welcoming place where the children settle quickly and easily because consideration has been given to the individual needs and circumstances of children. The key person role is set out in the Safeguarding and Welfare requirements of the Early Years Foundation Stage. Every child has a key person. We promote the role of the key person as the child's primary carer in our setting and as a basis for establishing relationships with other staff and children.
We allocate a key person before the child starts, however if during the settling in period, a child settles well with another member of staff then we will adapt to suit the individual needs of the child.
The key person is responsible for the induction of the family and for settling the child into our setting. The key person offers unconditional regard for the child and is non -judgmental. They work with the parents to plan and deliver a personalised plan for the child's well-being, care and learning.
The key person acts as the key contact for the parents and has links with other carers involved with the child, such as a child minder, another setting and co -ordinates the sharing of appropriate information about the child's development with those carers. The key person is also responsible for developmental records and for sharing information on a regular basis with the child's parents to keep those records up to date, reflecting the full picture of the child in our setting and at home.
The key person encourages positive relationships between children in his/her key group, spending time with them each day.
A supporting member of the staff team acts as a key person buddy in the absence of a child's key person.
