'Bunny with a Toolbelt' is the name of Hilary Pfeifer's project where she combines elephants that she creates with every letter of the alphabet. For each letter she thought of a different object and combines it with the word elephant to create a portmanteau. For the letter 'S' she combined sushi with elephant to form "sushiphant."
The 'Bunny with a Toolbelt' is an innovative project that will certainly spark the imagination of the young and old alike. All of the elephants that Hilary Pfeifer are from reclaimed wood.
Implications - Youth consumers have been particularly hard hit by the recent economic downturn. This group is looking to escape their quotidian realities and exercise their imaginations in the process. Companies should take this mindset into account when creating products or marketing campaigns that are specifically geared towards this demographic.

River and Stream Flows Below Average/Water Tank Sales Appear to Be Up
The recent rains carried water and sediment into the South Fork of the Eel River near Phillipsville. (Photo by Kym Kemp)
As Humboldt folk uncurl in the sunshine and contemplate the recent downpours, let's look at North Coast rivers and streams. Did they get topped off? Are they plump with water? Can we relax a bit?
The USGS WaterWatch site shows that the two gauges on rivers in the northwest of this county are at normal levels as of today's date. But, the south and mid county flow gauges depict frighteningly low volumes of water. Click on the link. A series of dots indicate by their color how close to average water flows are for each gauge–green is normal, yellow below normal, and red is far below normal. Of the twelve gauges thus ranked in our county, two near the northwest coastline are green. The rest are yellow (3) or various shades of red.
Hovering over each dot shows a compilation of data. The one bright red dot is Bull Creek near Weott. Today's readings show that the water flows are only at 7% of the average for this time of year. The Eel River at Scotia is only at 23% of average for this time of year. The Mad River near Arcata is at 37% of average flow.
Clicking on each dot allows access to even more information including a graph showing the recent water flows compared to the [median] flows. Most graphs look similar to the one below for the Eel River at Weott.
The yellow triangles show the [median] flows for the site and the blue line shows the flow for the last 8 days.
The recent rainfall spiked the water flows to above normal levels for a very short time. But, once the rains stopped, the flows plummeted to far below normal.
So that's the bad news.
There is some good news though. Indications are that at least a portion of land owners are purchasing and installing water storage. To get a feel for how that looks on the ground (this is by no means a scientific study only a quick look to provide context), we contacted Dazey's Supply in Redway. They show a marked increase in sales of water tanks this year. As an example, last year, in February, they sold one 3000 gallon tank. This year, they've sold eleven. Last year in February, they sold no 2500 gallon tanks. This month, they've sold 25 already.
(For more on ways to store water and improve impacts on the land, go to the Best Management Practices: Northern California Farmers Guide.)

Tiki Tom's Mural laid out on floor before installation:
I am teaching a Mosaic Mural Making Intensive (week-long) at Institute of Mosaic Art this week and we have completed a neat mural for a local restaurant and bar in our neighborhood- Jingletown- in Oakland.
Mural Dimensions 3.5' x 7.5 ft.
Materials: High- fire ceramic tile and mirror with handmade tiles.
There are 11 (!) students in this class and we set the mural in four days. I designed and coded the mural before class started using Tiki Tom's logo and business card as starting points/ inspiration. Also researched Tiki themed designs and riffed off some Tiki fabric for the design of handmade border tiles. My neighbors Saundra Warren and Cynthia Elliot helped make the tiles.
Students came from as far afield as Indiana and Wisconsin to participate in the class, which is geared towards intermediate/ advanced students and teaches them how to create a permanent large scale- mural on a mesh backing (in the studio) and install as a team on site.
We install this Saturday/ Sunday and then hope to celebrate with some Tiki themed beverages.
Mural design and facilitation by Laurel True and True Mosaics Studio. Mural production by students of Mosaic Mural Making Intensive at IMA, August 2008- all names to follow in next post with pics of installed mural.
Cartoon and coding for Tiki head and flowers.
Completed section.
Cartoon and coding for hut and palm tree/ flowers.
Completed sections put together with border tiles mocked up.
Students Diana White, Megan Cain and Malu Wu working on flowers.
Students Judy Toupin and Estelle Akamine working on Tiki head.
Day two, mural in progress. Students are working hard.
More pictures of students and in progress shots to be posted on the IMA flickr site soon.
Note: Tiki Tom's is not yet open and is located on 29th St. right on the Oakland side of the esturay at the foot of the Park St. bridge (going to Alameda). They say they will be opening in mid- September!

The extended, uncut version of This fic.
Long Story short, this is some crappy Fire-Lord-on-Fire-Lady action. I wrote it a while ago, and haven't bothered to revise it because it's only a oneshot, and constant revisions usually kill my work.
Oh yeah, and they're in their early/mid 20s at best in this. Don't worry, it's not old people smex yet. xD
That said, excuse how bad this thing is, but I promised in chat that I would post this, and so here it is.
The dotted line halfway through is where things start getting schmexy. Everything before that is stuff that was in the old fic, but I couldn't leave that stuff out, as that's the lead-up.
Anyways, the rant aside, brace yourself for the onslaught of crappy schmex that is this story. =3
Orzon Zhaoka, Ayumi Zhaoka, © 2008-2009 Tera253. ATLA © 2005-2009 Bryke.
"Fire Lady," Ayumi muttered to herself, pacing back and forth in her chamber, "I never thought that Lord Xin Shing would go through with his operation, and yet he did. And on top of that, the man he chooses as Fire Lord chooses me as his bride. Why? Why is this?"
They had only met a few weeks prior to their marriage. As was customary, it had been arranged, and she was among many candidates for the Fire Lord to choose as his bride.
"He just seems like all the rest of them," Ayumi sighed, sitting down on her bed. She was used to the high class life, but being dressed like the royalty that she was made her feel like she was too high up for her own good. She glanced down at her deep crimson robe with its vivid golden lining. These were the robes of a Fire Lady.
"And yet," Ayumi thought, "he also seems like me to an extent—he seems to share the same ambition that I do—that Xin Shing does."
"People call me heartless," she muttered again to herself, but this was out loud. She did not hear the door open behind her; "they say I care for nothing; that I just want my own ambitions to become reality. And yet, though I believe that to be generally true; there is something inside of me that says otherwise—something that says that is not what I am."
"Heartless," said a voice behind her. Ayumi felt a hand on her shoulder, "perhaps that little voice telling you that is what you are not might be correct, Lady Ayumi."
Ayumi turned around, startled when the hand touched her shoulder. She was looking into the eyes of Fire Lord Orzon Zhaoka.
"My Lord," she gasped, "I did not hear you come in."
"That was my intent, Lady Ayumi," he replied, smiling, "I came in to talk to you. You looked distressed. Is something the matter?"
Ayumi paused for a moment. She had never been afraid to tell people what she thought when she thought it. This time though, she felt different. She was inclined to say "I don't feel any love towards you" to him, but she couldn't get the words out. She choked on them for a while, but then realized why. It was because she had felt different about this man. This was one of the first times they had actually talked to each other, and it was a sudden change.
"I..." Ayumi stammered, "I don't know. I never had feelings towards anyone. I did not expect anything different from this marriage. I had resolutely declared that I would tell the man I was forced to marry that "I have absolutely no interest in you". However, the way you looked at me when the Sage married us; the way you gently kissed me—I felt different."
"Oh," said Orzon, "how so?"
"You seemed like you cared for me," Ayumi replied, "or..."
"I had made a solemn vow in my earlier years that regardless of the person whom I was arranged to marry, that I would treat them with the utmost love and respect, Ayumi. You are the one, and I am remaining true to my word."
"So it's just an act," Ayumi scoffed, now sounding irritated that the rest of her life was going to have to be forced—acted out. She stood up, but Orzon stood up also and beat her to the door. He closed it and locked it, and the light from the outside corridor that had been pouring into Ayumi's chamber vanished. Only the dim lights on the walls lit the area now, and so the faces of these two figures were thrown into relief.
"What are you doing," she snapped "let me out."
"No," Orzon replied coolly, "keep in mind, Lady Ayumi, that you are the 2nd most powerful person in the Fire Nation now, not the first."
"What is this," she fumed, "you are keeping me here against my will."
"No," said Orzon, "but rather: I am trying to explain to you what exactly is going on here. Your life is not going to have to be an act."
"Don't pass false words to me," said Ayumi, "I don't need it, I don't want it. If you're going to do nothing but lie to me then I'm going to step down. No title is worth getting jested for the rest of my life over."
"No," said Orzon, "you are not stepping down, and you are not going to be jested for the rest of your life. Do you know why?"
"Shut up and let me leave," Ayumi snapped, trying to get the door open. She was trying to pull Orzon's hands off the doorknob, but being female, she was naturally not as strong as Orzon.
"Come, Ayumi," he said in his usual calm voice. He ran a finger through Ayumi's long, silky black hair. He lifted up a portion of it and let it flow through his hand. Ayumi's hair went to her knees, so it was several seconds before Orzon dropped it at the end; "listen to me first, and once I finish, you may do whatever you please."
Ayumi sighed. "You're not going to let me out, are you?"
"Not until I can say my piece," Orzon replied, his hand now migrating through Ayumi's hair until he reached the back of her neck. Ayumi's pale skin was soft and warm. Orzon's hand was gently massaging her neck, and Ayumi's tenseness seemed to slowly die.
"Calm down, Ayumi," he said in his usual tone, "I am in no ways trying to harm you. I just want to tell you something. I am not going to force you to believe it, nor will I be angry if you leave."
Ayumi sighed, "Fine," she snapped, going back to the bed and sitting down, "but make it snappy. I want to get out of here. Knowing that all of this was just put upon me for good measure makes me intolerable; these clothes, this room, this title—all of it is a lie."
Orzon sat beside her and gently clasped her hand. Ayumi actually turned to look at the face of her new husband. It was firm and resolute, and like hers had an eerie feeling to the smile he gave. Most people would be intimidated, but Ayumi, who had a similar smile, was unfazed. Incidentally, with Ayumi, intimidation was not Orzon's goal.
"I want to tell you why I chose you as my bride," he said,
"You already told me," said Ayumi, attempting to stand up again, "so let me out. I don't need to hear it again."
Orzon tightened his grip on Ayumi's hand so that when she stood up she was pulled back down again.
"Wrong," he said firmly but almost kindly, "I chose you because you had the same aspirations as me and a similar personality as well. You enjoyed power; intimidation. I saw it in your smile. It made you stand out. And yet, after I gave you that kiss, I felt something different in you—even underneath that malice which I craved in a person in order for them to match my will, I felt that her desire was the same as mine."
"Malice," said Ayumi, smirking, "so that was why you chose me?"
"Not entirely," said Orzon, "but you come close. Like and like attract, Lady Ayumi. I like your style—stubborn, merciless; disrespectful to anyone besides yourself;"
"If that was the case, I would have fought you to get out of here," Ayumi replied, making flames appear on her other hand, "I'm a firebender; surely you knew that though;"
"Aye," said Orzon, smiling, "and that just strengthens my theory about you. You DO have some respect for other people. Tell me: was it my power as Fire Lord that did that, or was it something else?"
Ayumi did not have a reply for this. Orzon let go of her hand. This time though, Ayumi wanted to listen to the rest of his story. During that short time which he had talked, he had moved closer to her, and she enjoyed his warmth.
"You're not leaving," Orzon asked, "is something wrong?"
"Are you finished?" Ayumi asked, "Or is there more you wish to tell me?"
"The only other thing I wish to tell you, Lady Ayumi," said Orzon, "is that I love you. It is very difficult to feign passion; the kiss I gave you broke that bound. I thought I would be able to feign it, but after my lips met yours, I felt no need to feign anything. I knew you were the one for me."
"You made up your mind that fast," Ayumi exclaimed,
"No," Orzon replied, "I knew that I loved you the first time we met—it was not a long meeting as you know, but there was that thing about you... your personality or something."
"Hmm," Ayumi muttered, you do realize that you married one of the most arrogant women in the Fire Nation, did you not?"
"Aye," Orzon chuckled, "and yet even the haughty Ayumi was willing to listen to Lord Orzon's simple words. Why was that, Ayumi? What made you decide not to burn that door down and run? Surely you cared nothing for this palace; this room, or even those robes;"
"No," said Ayumi, pausing, "perhaps... perhaps it was because..."
Orzon waited and smiled. His hand resumed its activity of gently massaging Ayumi's neck,
"Perhaps I was wrong," said Ayumi, "perhaps my remark of "I don't feel any love towards you" is a lie. The way you treated me back there—the way you're talking to me now; it makes me want to run into your open arms; to embrace you; to feel your heartbeat as you press up against me. To feel your soft breath on my neck; to know that there is someone in this world that actually loves me."
Orzon smiled. "My word may be the ultimate law," he said, "but I can listen to a reasonable request, especially when it is from the 2nd most powerful person in the Fire Nation—even more so when that person is the woman whom I love."
Ayumi stood up, taking Orzon's hand. Immediately she threw herself into his arms, embracing him [for it is difficult to properly embrace someone while sitting down].
"You're warm," Orzon said, smiling, "you seem to have a burning passion inside of you—similar to mine. Lord Xin Shing was right about you."
"I don't care about him," Ayumi replied, "I only care about you. The rest of the world is of no importance unless it involves us in charge of it."
"I care about what you care about, Ayumi," said Orzon, "Although people might think that you are mine, I am also yours. Remember that, Ayumi, and I promise that you will be happy as long as you are with me."
"Then that is all that I care about," Ayumi replied, "you're far more important to me than even The Order."
"I made a vow that I would do whatever it took to make you happy, Ayumi," said Orzon, "and I have no intention of breaking that vow."
Before Ayumi could answer, Orzon brought his lips to hers, and the two of them locked lips in a loving and passionate manner that even ousted the moment at the wedding. Both of them were happy. It was in fact true, that even the most evil people were allowed to love someone...
Orzon pulled back gently a few minutes later.
"You're really beautiful," he remarked, "you're going to be a very elegant Fire Lady, mark my words."
Ayumi smiled—a genuine smile,
"I love you," she said, "and you're not too shabby yourself, Fire Lord Orzon. You make me happy."
Orzon chuckled, still embracing Ayumi, "that is my intent," he said, "I want you to be happy, especially since I am about to lie you down on that bed and show you some passion."
"Ooh," Ayumi giggled, "you must have locked the door for that very same reason, I presume?"
"I think ahead," Orzon replied, "I knew I would be able to talk some sense into you. now for this trick, I believe that I will have to remove your crown as well as my own, as the things we are about to do may be less than "royal" for even the Fire Lord and Lady."
Ayumi laughed, "Clever," she said as Orzon undid his hair, and then hers, "you seem to have a way with words, My Lord..." Ayumi commented,
Orzon laughed. "Ayumi," he remarked, chuckling, "I'm your husband now; just call me Orzon—that's a command."
"Fine, fine," Ayumi chuckled, "Orzon, I am now in your hands."
"Hmm," said Orzon, "most cruel Fire Lords of old would have taken that the wrong way. However, I am here to make you happy and make sure you are not uncomfortable. However, you might find that I will be removing some of your clothing in the process."
"Oh, ho," Ayumi chuckled as Orzon laid her gently on the bed, "aren't you the feisty one?"
"I've learned some amusing tricks," he replied, climbing on top of her. His hand began sliding Ayumi's robe up, revealing her dark red shoes and her pale, smooth legs. He paused and looked her in the eye."
"You have beautiful legs," he remarked, "They match the beautiful face on the woman I love. I assume the rest of your body is just as gorgeous, my lady. Come; let me help you out of that bothersome robe."
Orzon slid it up to Ayumi's chest, but she stopped him and began opening his robe, her hands running across his chest. Orzon in the meantime, was gently massaging Ayumi's now exposed legs and stomach.
"Roll over," he said, and Ayumi did so. Orzon's massage continued, his hands now also massaging her hind quarters, helping the muscles there relax further.
"You're good," she remarked, and finished slipping her robe off, leaving her in nothing but her shoes, shirt and undergarments, "who taught you?"
"Orzon Zhaoka," Orzon replied proudly, now moving up her back, "I need no teacher. I wanted to ensure that my wife was happy."
"Ayumi Zhaoka," Ayumi muttered, still enjoying her massage, "I like the way that sounds—it has a powerful ring to it."
"Powerful," said Orzon, putting his arms around Ayumi and picking her up, cradling his bare-legged wife, running his hand gently up and down Ayumi's left leg from her underpants to her shoes, "perhaps I can show you power. Turn over for me, please."
Ayumi turned over so that she was lying across Orzon's lap.
"Now," said Orzon again, "for you to get the full enjoyment of this, I am going to have to remove these."
As he said this, he slid Ayumi's underpants down to her ankles next to her shoes. At first Ayumi was shocked that Orzon was so quick to pull those down [though he was seeing her from behind; unable to see anything else], but a second later she felt an amazing feeling on her bare hindquarters that made her forget all about it. She was immediately relaxed. Whatever Orzon had taught him self, he had taught himself well, for he knew just how to knead Ayumi's muscles to put her into a state of blissful relaxation.
"Hmm," she chuckled, "this would be a rather embarrassing site for me if someone walked in right now."
"They wouldn't have to see your naked, albeit sexy bottom half," Orzon chuckled, "you got behind that dresser over there and people would only see your top half, which, for the moment, still makes you look dressed like the noble and beautiful Fire Lady that you are. Besides I'm not sure I'm going to let you pull your underpants back up any time soon, and chances of seeing that robe in the near future are dim. In fact, you can pretty much consider your half-naked self in the hands of the Fire Lord. You are mine, Ayumi Zhaoka."
"Mm... MMM, mm," was Ayumi's only response; Orzon's hand movements across her behind too pleasant for her to oppose.
"You're seductive you know that?" she remarked, "you really know how to make me go as limp as a boned fish."
"I want you to be relaxed," Orzon replied, "that was and is my intent."
"Oh," said Ayumi seductively, "I suppose you're then going to toss me on the bed, spread my legs open wide and then 'sex me up', as the old saying goes, I suppose?"
"Is that what you want?" Orzon asked, still powerfully massaging Ayumi's bare hindquarters; he also started moving around on her soft upper thighs, running his fingers gently on their very soft and sensitive insides; this gave Ayumi a pleasant tingling feeling.
"Well," Ayumi stammered, "to be honest, I... I don't; not yet at least."
"Then it's not going to happen," Orzon replied, "I have no intention of doing anything you don't want, or making you uncomfortable in any way. I love you, Ayumi. I want you to be happy with me."
Ayumi laughed, "and you're saying this as I'm lying half-naked over your lap," she chuckled,
"It's your call," said Orzon, laughing,
Ayumi chuckled, and pulled her underpants back up, "if I did," she said, I wouldn't be about to jump into your arms despite being bare-legged," she said, and without another word, she jumped right into his arms, wrapping her legs around him and kissing him on the lips.
Orzon's hands moved to two different places—his left hand to the back of her head, his right hand underneath her thigh to support her. needless to say, his right hand was gently squeezing and massaging that area, as Ayumi's body was soft and smooth, and it gave both of them an enjoyable experience when Orzon did this, and so she did not object. She leaned forward, and Orzon began taking a few steps backwards until he hit the side of the bed. Ayumi did not stop leaning forward, and so she wound up on top of Orzon. She pulled back and chuckled.
"Who's on top of whom now?" she giggled,
"Hmm," said Orzon, chuckling lightly, "I believe that there is an incredibly beautiful woman with bare, soft, smooth, beautiful legs sitting on top of me at the moment. I could live with this."
His hands were now running up and down her legs as he said this, his gentle touch combined with the soft, warm, smooth feeling of Ayumi's bare legs giving them both a pleasant feeling.
Ayumi giggled as Orzon began lightly running his fingers along the insides of her legs [which he subtly widened] and he smiled up at her.
"Now," he said, "I am to understand that in today's culture, men usually like to admire a woman's legs. This is a possible explanation as to why yours might be as exposed as they are. What is it on a man that a woman likes to admire? I have heard various things, but I want it from the only woman in the world that matters to me."
Ayumi giggled, blushing slightly, and yet grinned mischievously,
"For me," she said, "it was always their chest and arms; just like most other woman. That means you might be about to lose your shirt."
Orzon sat up to enable Ayumi ease to remove his shirt, "as you wish, My Lady," he said, though you will be feeling a strange feeling on your beautiful thighs that kids not much younger than ourselves call 'groping'. In the meantime, do as you wish."
Ayumi was oblivious to how wide her legs were as she was sitting on Orzon's lap removing his shirt. They were wrapped around his body anyways, and neither one opposed this.
"You are in the process of stripping the Fire Lord," said Orzon, grinning back as Ayumi removed his shirt, "I believe that as a result I will have to put you on your back and spread your beautiful legs until they hurt."
"Until they hurt," Ayumi exclaimed,
"Of course not," Orzon replied, "like I could ever hurt such a beautiful woman, especially if that woman is my wife; although..."
He flipped Ayumi onto her back, kneeling between her legs, looking into her eyes, and up and down her body. His top half was bare, and her bottom half was nearly bare. He chuckled, and then took Ayumi's left leg in his hands and lifted it slightly, gently caressing it as he did.
"You're perfect," he said, "flawless. Look at this," he ran his hands up to the top of Ayumi's thigh, massaging it gently, "this is perfection, Ayumi. Your entire body is perfection."
Ayumi smiled again, with a slight tone of a smirk,
"You haven't even seen my whole body yet," she remarked, "you've been too absorbed in my legs to—EEP!"
Ayumi let out a squeak, for instead of listening, Orzon had gently bit the inside of her thigh. It was not very hard and would not leave a mark, but with how naturally sensitive that area is and with how soft and delicate Ayumi's body was, it startled her.
"Ayumi," said Orzon, "do you really think that us having not seen the other person's entire body is really going to last beyond tonight?"
Ayumi shrugged, "I was just stating the facts,"
"Well, I'm about to start disproving that fact," said Orzon, kicking his boots off, "your shirt is coming off; or should I focus on your perfect legs some more? After all, they're long, and smooth, and at the moment have red on the ends of them. They are perfection."
He had lifted Ayumi's leg so that it was almost pointing straight up, and he was running his hands up her leg as he spoke. The "red ends" he was referring to were only Ayumi's shoes, and even these would eventually disappear' they both figured.
Orzon kicked off his boots, his bare feet hanging over the bed. He began sliding Ayumi's shirt up to reveal a top that was the same color as Ayumi's underpants.
"You, My Lady," he said, "are going to get a full body massage from me tonight, and I assure you, you will enjoy it."
Ayumi laughed; almost sinisterly.
"You ARE the seductive one," she said, "I can see right through that—that's a direct implication that you're going to be putting your hands here and here."
Ayumi had gently taken Orzon's wrists, and when she said 'here and here' she had set them on both her breasts. Orzon smirked.
"Is this what you so desire, my lady?" he said, still smiling down at her,
"Patience, perhaps," Ayumi replied, "but then again, I was never very patient, and you seem like my match for that."
"On the contrary," said Orzon, "I am as patient as I need to be."
"Really then," said Ayumi, smirking seductively, "then let's see how long you can gaze upon my body before you touch me."
"Try me," said Orzon, getting up off of her. They both stood up, and Orzon crossed his arms, smirking. It was a rather humorous situation, as Ayumi was in her shirt and her shoes, and Orzon only had his pants. The both stood there, looking into each other's eyes [and of course, at the other person's body in various locations], but neither one budged. A few minutes in, Ayumi began slowly sliding her shirt off; being sure to "fix" her top once she had removed it.
Orzon was unfazed. All this did was make his eyes look at her bare stomach, and her red top [and what was underneath]. Ayumi was watching Orzon's eyes, but all they did was go from the red shoes still on her feet all the way up her otherwise near-naked body. He seemed to spend a lot of time looking into her eyes too, as he was trying to make her crack. A few minutes later, she did, and she ran into Orzon's arms.
"I guess you're not just after my body," she remarked,
"Funny," said Orzon in a joking manner, "a couple more minutes and I would have had you pinned and that top would have been off of you so fast you would have blinked and missed it."
Ayumi gasped, looking scandalized.
"Then I guess I'm getting dressed now," she said, but Orzon stopped her by putting his arm around her chest, which resulted in his left hand on her right breast. Naturally, he couldn't help but give it a small squeeze. He pulled himself closer to her, keeping his hand firmly in place, and leaned next to her ear, still smiling.
"that was a joke, Ayumi," he remarked, "I will not deny that my eyes were constantly surveying your beautiful almost-naked body, but that's because when you look upon perfection, you can't help but try to take it all in. now I may not be your perfection, but you are mine."
He ended his little "speech" with another little gentle squeeze of Ayumi's breast, which only made her giggle—she 'secretly' liked it.
"There's only one way to find out," she said, "but with your hand where it is, I can't turn around and show you."
"My hand is not under my control," said Orzon, chuckling, "turn around the opposite way."
"Get your hand off my breast," she said bluntly,
"As you wish, my lady," Orzon replied, though he pulled it back slowly, gently caressing her breast one last time before he retracted his hand. Though the feeling was [naturally] dulled because of her top, it had stimulated Ayumi, and she was thinking in her mind that she was going to take control of that hand once she had finished demonstrating her point.
Her 'point' was removing Orzon's pants. She then began running her eyes up and down, looking at him.
"Hold," said Orzon, "I want to see those cute little feet of yours as well. Come, do show them if it is not too much to ask."
Ayumi giggled at Orzon's eloquence, and then slowly removed her shoes.
She then looked him over.
"Aye," she said "you are my perfection. Enough said."
Orzon laughed. "Perfect and blunt then," he chuckled,
"Aye," she said, and she then took to imitating him.
"My lady," Ayumi said in a mock-Orzon tone, [though Orzon's voice was deep and surprisingly gentle with a touched of seductiveness] "I would like to see those breasts, and that behind, and everything else. In fact, you know what, just strip naked for me. It will save time."
Orzon laughed, and then took up Ayumi-imitation.
"My lord," he said in a high-pitched voice [though Ayumi's voice was soft and gentle as well, but like Orzon's had a seductive tone to it], "take off those underpants now."
They both chuckled, and then suddenly, Orzon pulled Ayumi back towards him, his left hand again resuming its position locked onto Ayumi's right breast.
"What are you going to do about it," he chuckled, "you cannot conceal your feelings Ayumi. Either you like it or you'd be throwing some of that fire at me, what do you think?
Ayumi went red and said nothing.
"Surely though," said Orzon, "this would be something that you're uncomfortable with; for whom else would grab a woman's breast save the one she loves? Am I this special someone, my lady?"
He was making Ayumi blush, for she knew he was right.
"But that should have been a given," said Orzon, slowly retracting his hand in the same manner, "and I think if you wanted to attack the perpetrator that you would have all rights to do so. Come, attack me. I know that I deserve the punishment.
He knew that he had backed Ayumi into a corner with this statement, for she was red and rooted to the spot. He then took a different approach.
"Oh dear," he said, "My poor dear sweet wife seems stressed. Perhaps this hand of mine that seems to be locked onto an area she does not display to the public can rectify that.
Orzon's hand suddenly slid under Ayumi's top, and he began gently massaging her breast, which seemed to make Ayumi 'cool down'. She had closed her eyes and gently sighed. He gently backed up with Ayumi until he had again 'pinned' her on the bed. His other hand undid her top, and flipped it so that it only covered the left side now.
"your right breast is now the property of my left hand," said Orzon to an incredibly relaxed [and rather content] Ayumi, his hand still moving across and squeezing her breast in various ways that Ayumi enjoyed, "so you can pretty much consider them as one."
Ayumi suddenly stopped him though.
"But why this," she said seductively, "do you not have two hands?"
Orzon smirked. "Aye," she said, "I do. And I believe that there is another part of your body that I have yet to see that is about to be revealed. Let me see if your left breast is as perfect as the rest of your body."
with this he removed Ayumi's top fully, and then looked back and forth from her left breast to his right hand, and then glanced at his left hand, which had still clasped Ayumi's other breast.
"Are you thinking what I'm thinking? He asked, looking at his hand."
"You seem too roundabout," Ayumi laughed, "get that other hand on me. You're giving me that full body massage; you're doing it now, and you're starting with my breasts. Get to work!"
Orzon smiled proudly. "Forceful," he remarked, "you'll make a great Fire Lady, make no mistake about it."
"MMM..." was Ayumi's only response. To cut a long story short, Orzon gave Ayumi perhaps the most pleasurable body massage she had ever received, spending extra time in places that he knew Ayumi would enjoy, such as her breasts, her thighs, and her hindquarters, which, by the time Orzon finished, were bare—she had lost her underpants sometime while she was face-down.
Using his bending abilities on the torches, Orzon made the room go completely dark. It seemed that he too was missing his underpants, rendering the both of them without any clothing.
"Ready for bed yet," he said, and Ayumi giggled,
"Gladly," she replied, and the two of them covered up. What they did next didn't even need to be guessed, as the noises they were making made it rather obvious. The only thing that can be said for sure was that it was a long time before either of them woke up...

The objective of this research is to introduce the use of different types of neural networks in human hand gesture recognition for static images as well as for dynamic gestures. This work focuses on the ability of neural networks to assist in Arabic Sign Language ArSL hand gesture recognition. We have presented the use of feedforward neural networks and recurrent neural networks along with its different architectures; partially and fully recurrent networks. Then we have tested our proposed system; the results of the experiment have showed that the suggested system with the fully recurrent architecture has had a performance with an accuracy rate 95% for static gesture recognition.

The team headed through a vent to the lower floors where they encountered a sleepy dog. They found a secret hatch under a rug and were almost discovered when a shadowy figure arrived.

I wish I knew what this was, I really do. It looks like a totem pole of demons? With some kind of weird scarred-out blob in the middle. Is it a tribal-mutant batman logo?

Republican governor challenger Jeanne Ives abruptly canceled a Thursday night fundraising speech by an internet commentator who has said he believes African-Americans are intellectually inferior to whites and that correlates to higher poverty and crime among blacks.
The move by Ives to pull Bill Whittle from his role as keynote speaker came just hours before her event at Bull Valley Country Club in McHenry County, coming on the first day of Black History Month. It also came after some of Ives' legislative colleagues, including Senate GOP leader Bill Brady, urged her to cancel Whittle's appearance or the fundraiser itself.
Controversies about race have swirled around Republicans nationally and in Illinois — including Ives, a three-term state representative from Wheaton, who is challenging first-term Gov. Bruce Rauner in the March 20 primary.
On Wednesday, Rauner's handpicked state Lottery Control Board chairman resigned after it came out that he had used the term "shithole" on social media last month to describe Democratic U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin's hometown of East St. Louis, which is heavily African-American. President Donald Trump had used the term to describe African nations in a closed-door discussion on immigration last month, a meeting Durbin attended.
On Thursday, the state GOP said the lottery board chairman, Blair Garber of Evanston, also had resigned as a member of the Republican State Central Committee.
Ives also has come under fire for racially charged remarks, including her comment at a candidate forum last month that Chicago's gun violence could be solved by "fathers in the home."
The invitation to Whittle to be the keynote fundraiser speaker underscored Ives' campaign's embrace of far-right elements of the Republican Party in her upstart bid to challenge Rauner.
Whittle, who recently became part of the National Rifle Association's internet TV production, expressed support in an earlier web video for a widely debunked concept that claims a correlation among IQ, race and crime, and places African-Americans at a lower level than whites.
"Since it so closely correlates to both poverty and crime on one hand and generally success and wealth on the other, it would be useful to be thinking about what a society that was recognizing these differences look like." Whittle says in the video from February 2016.
On a December 2015 internet show, Whittle accused liberals and Democrats of employing policies that have "destroyed black America."
"The Democratic Party is the largest slaveholder in the history of the world. How many slaves do they have now in this country? Thirty million? Their terms of their slavery are very simple," he said.
Ives' campaign said it was "unaware" of Whittle's previous remarks. Ives declined to take questions from a reporter at the fundraiser. Campaign spokeswoman Kathleen Murphy said it was Ives' decision to yank Whittle from the program.
"The minute we heard the comments, we got on the phone and we said, 'We can't do it,' " Murphy said. "The comments were beyond the pale, we were appalled. It wasn't because of pressure from anyone else, it was our own reaction to the comments."
In an endorsement video the Ives campaign had posted but said it will now pull, Whittle says of the challenger: "I could not invent a better candidate for the times we live in than Jeanne Ives."
Whittle was a guest of the fundraiser's co-chair, Gary Rabine, the founder and CEO of the Rabine Group, a national parking lot pavement company. Rabine said Whittle was a friend and flew out from California for the fundraiser. He described Whittle as "a high-quality person with not an ounce of racism in his body."
"I'm sure there's something that didn't sound right, because he talks a lot, he's on video, he's on radio, he's got podcasts, thousands and thousands of hours," Rabine said. "So I'm sure something was there that doesn't sound right, because it just happens. He's a very passionate guy, so I'm sure he doesn't say the perfect thing all the time."
Rabine, of Johnsburg, gave Rauner $9,500 during the 2014 race but contributed $10,000 to Ives in November.
The Ives camp dumped its guest speaker after Brady, who heads the Republican caucus in the Democatic-led state Senate, posted on Twitter that "Bill Whittle's racially infused rhetoric shouldn't be tolerated in the Land and Party of Lincoln. Representative Ives should disinvite him from her event."
State Rep. Grant Wehrli, whose district is in DuPage County, called on Ives to cancel the event.
"Racism has no place in anybody's party -- Republican, Democrat, independent, you name it. When I read a little bit of the background of this gentleman, I had to say something," Wehrli said.
Neither Brady nor Wehrli is backing Ives' candidacy.
Rauner campaign spokesman Will Allison said the controversy "just shows how unelectable Rep. Ives really is."
At a previous fundraiser, Ives' featured guest was controversial syndicated radio host Mike Gallagher, who also has appeared on Fox News. Gallagher repeatedly has called for profiling of Muslims at the nation's airports, including requiring them to go through a separate security line.
"We should take anybody who's a known Muslim and put them in a separate line. Call it a VIP line," he said in a 2009 appearance on Fox News.
One of Ives' initial campaign appearances came in November at a Rockford event honoring Trump's first year in the presidency. Also listed as a special guest was Paul Nehlen, an unsuccessful 2016 primary challenger to U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan of Janesville, Wis.
Nehlen, who is seeking to challenge Ryan again this year, has drawn scrutiny over anti-Semitic comments he has made on social media, and only days ago posted contact information about his critics and contended that most were "Jews."

What is the most straightforward way in CPS-ASEC to ID family types (including married, single, and cohabiting)? For example, I would like to identify whether a person is a member of a:
1) married family with children (under age 18),
2) married family without children,
3) single family with children
4) single family without children,
5) cohabiting family with children, or,
6) cohabiting family without children?
Jeff Bloem
Unfortunately, there is no ready-made variable that identifies these groups. There are, however, a number of different family interrelationship variables (both Census defined and IPUMS defined) that may be of use for you. The Census defined family variable is FTYPE and the IPUMS defined family variable is FAMUNIT. These two definitions of families are not necessarily the same. I suggest reading into each definition (see previous links) and using the definition that works best for your work. Identifying married/single/cohabiting families with and without children could be done using Census derived variables or IPUMS derived variables. Census variables include: ASPOUSE and PECOHAB and can identify self-reported family type. FAMREL can be used to count the number of children (if any) within the Census defined family. IPUMS derived variables include: SPLOC to identify if a person's spouse lived in the same household based on probabilistic programming, this can be used with MARST to identify marital status, and NCHILD identifies the number of children (if any). I hope this helps.

So the busy season is upon us. We pay extra for the 2 say select, then UPS claims weather delay.
With no weather issue in the delivery route. Poor management does not give a company the right to use that to avoid being negligent! I will avoid their service every chance I can! Gets into town at 8am on the day it is suppose to be delivered.
Houston Texas a weather delay is acceptable because it is cold?
Only cold no ice no snow no rain no fog... This is a company that time and time again shows it is above the customers!
Product or Service Mentioned: Ups Delivery Service.
You are obviously confused.
There is no such thing as 2 day select service.
There IS 3 day select.
I hear you, pal. UPS My next day air from LA to Charlotte via Louisville is currently delayed due to weather, but I sure can't see where those two flights would have gotten caught in anything substantial. My guess is that they had some not get to Louisville from Denver, etc., but needed for major destination from that hub, and just grabbed the Charlotte plane. I ship with these carriers and they were issuing weather alerts days before the storm came through - just to keep their options open.
This is not your father's reliable package courier service...
Kudos to this web site for getting these entries into the Google search base so quickly.

Moral Dilemma of a Bloggy Sort
He's a grad student in my own program, and the ex-boyfriend of a good friend of mine. He's a total tool--and I knew this much well before he behaved like a total asshole to my friend. He has perhaps the stupidest tattoo I've ever seen in person--the shape of a common soup vegetable outlined on his forearm. He was annoying, pretentious, and ultimately stupid in seminars; he was irresponsible and cowardly in his relationship with my friend.
So, here's the dilemma. Every single thing he's written on that site reeks to high heaven of false consciousness and pretension--since I know him--and yet it would seem so damned cruel to attempt to undermine him in a virtual space where he's found happiness. Not to mention the very real possibility that I might not be able to find the words to do so!
But, gah. This guy is posting as a male-feminist on a feminist site, and I know for a fact that he was unwilling to accompany his ex-girlfriend to an abortion that she found traumatizing. I read his posts and I curl the lip.
I know myself better than to think that I'd really try to intervene in a site where he's got a public-sphere reputation going. What I have against him is my impressions and the reported wickedness from an interested party. Still, it's damned tempting.
And, yes, I'm sure I know who it is.

This topic had been in my mind for a pretty long time, how we treat science in our country. Now at this wonderful occasion of Merriam-Webster's naming of "Science" the word of the year, there will never be more precise timing than this to talk about this topic. Even in this twenty first century our scientific understanding is relatively poor. Most Indians never had a view of science further than academia. We equate science to academia, we never ever thought of science's presence apart from that, in our daily life. Bharat Ratna (highest and prestigious honour conferred to an Indian citizen) awardee Prof. C.N.Rao says we Indians lack scientific temper and former Chief Justice of India, Markandeya Katju not so long ago criticised we Indians are fools. You might wonder where is the relation between these two remarks? When someone criticize, we never dare to do a self check before attacking the critique. And our way of counter argument will usually not dialectical in nature, instead we try to rip the person off from his moral-right to present such an argument. I strongly believe it's a bad habit , no matter who asks the question as long as it is valid and reasonable in the given context.
Unlike USA, India never had a problem from religious front about including "evolution theory" in academics. That's because their(USA & mostly all western countries) sole religious belief is relied on one single Bible version (of course there are other streams of Christianity but mostly Church's version) explaining everything from the birth to the death of universe. On the other hand India being the hotspot of cultures and religions from the very beginning, is kind of used to with the contradictions in theories and beliefs. We don't actually care that evolutionary theory put forward by Darwin directly defies Hindu version of beginning of mankind and animals, which is from "God Bhrama" because Indians were "followers" from the very beginning. No matter in which religion we belong to, we have always been abiding followers. We never ever try to think for ourselves even though that's what our forefathers urged us to do in old philosophical writings called "Upanishads". There were a few in the past who were real progressive thinkers, everyone else just followed blindly. Our societal structure were the main factor, but still it was the condition all over globe a century before. But as the time passed "West" changed, more and more revolutionary thinkers and doers mushroomed and moreover people accepted them, though in a slow manner. But here in India we were always been in a confused state, because of this we find it easy and more preferable to follow someone who seemed to be a leader or at least acted like one. As I mentioned before because of our caste system, to most of our people education is still unreachable. So that tradition of "following" still goes on. Sycophancy is yet another big problem in our culture. It is deep-rooted in our culture from the time of Maharajas(Great Kings). Here more than talent and creativity your ability to flatter your master counts. And still, people who (wrongly) call themselves educated lots master in this perversion. We Indians always look for others to help us instead of helping ourselves. Most of us Indians misunderstood Indian subcontinent's philosophical and literary richness to Science. But of course in older India reach of philosophy is so wide that there is hardly any area it touches. we had a few like Sushruta, & Charaka who excelled in Ayurveda, Kanada who was actually a philosopher also put forward the idea of "Anu" (atom – not to be confused with chemistry the term is more related to metaphysics) and Aryabhatta & Baskaracharya (Baskara II) were great mathematicians.
India as a nation has given birth to some extraordinary scientific minds like C.V.Raman,Srinivasa Ramanujan, Dr.Chandrashekhar, Dr.Hargobind Khurana, Vikram Sarabhai etc. But we never given them enough support to prosper in our country, we rarely did provide them with opportunities, that's why we never really saw another homegrown scientist after C.V.Raman. At 2005 Indian Science Congress, our Prime Minister, Dr. Manmohan Singh said "I am concerned by fact that our best minds are not turning to science, and those who dc not remain in science." and it is a fact. We also lag behind in the number of scientific publications being published in a year. Funding remains the biggest problem till date in modern India. Most of our R&D facilities are being controlled by Government, hence one need to face lots of hurdles before grant is being sanctioned. And because of this lack of funding we were never able to create as many opportunities that could attract our "US trained or Europe trained Postdoctoral students. Modern India's pathetic state is correctly observed by Prof. C.N. Rao in an interview given to Mint. Here he correctly pinpoints our inability of grasping basic scientific ideas successfully.
|Let's make India glow
India's current education system is so annoying that it kills the creativity of children at very young age. Education has reduced to literacy. Teachers are just doing their task of teaching, without achieving the desired result of educating children. Teaching has become more like a mechanical task with out reaching out to children, without connecting with children. Focus has shifted to attaining marks and grades rather than the satisfaction of learning. Arts, dance and games, they all play a vital role in moulding the personality of an individual. We become so industry centric that we virtually neglected every other branches than industry specific.Our creativity has long gone or if anything left is in hibernation. Culture is what cultivating, we are not cultivating we are simply copying. I personally don't have any idea if we were to blame only our politicians or each one of you and me are equally responsible.

Raleigh Ashford S10 Test 2015/16
Summary: A top-specification pedelec 45 which straddles two worlds. Especially impressive on the Ashford are the integration of the battery and the successful overall frame design. With its Impulse Evo drive system, Raleigh has taken the next step in the integration of electrical components on the bike. The battery pack is fitted into the seat tube, and the motor mounting, steerer tube and stem all look as if they've been moulded to shape. Even the frame lock fits in perfectly. Rims and tyres specially developed for pedelecs. So at first glance, a well-conceived bike all round. Riding confirms this impression – the 350 watt motor assists quietly and really lets loose when you pedal powerfully yourself. Speeds of 30 km/h, important for keeping up with the flow of urban traffic, are easily reached, and above that the electric assistance can be felt to taper off gradually. Whenever you change gear the power assistance is noticeably interrupted, so the gear shifting process goes pleasantly smoothly. All of the components on this pedelec are designed for heavy duty use.>> read full test result (issuu)Download issue 13 here for free:>> ExtraEnergy Magazin Nr. 13 (PDF)ContactRaleigh Univega GmbHSiemensstrasse 1-349661 CloppenburgDeutschland Tel. 0049 4471 / 92340>> firstname.lastname@example.com >> www.raleigh-bikes.deCopy: Wasilis von RauchOnline Publication: Angela BuddePicture: Sandra Winkler31 March 2016

With a shrinking talent pool and increased competition for top candidates, employers have to not only sell the company well, but also conduct an interviewing process that presents the company and its corporate culture in the best light possible. "When companies approach the interviewing process from the candidate's perspective, they are much more likely to create an experience that is mutually engaging and appealing to the 'A' players in their markets," says Rob Romaine, president of MRINetwork.
The interviewing process should be an opportunity for both parties to evaluate a professional and cultural fit with the company. Yet, consider as an employer that perhaps you are additionally sending out unintended messages about weaknesses in the company culture or work practices.
Have you reflected on the following?
- Is your process executed in an organized, seamless manner?
- Are the company representatives experienced at interviewing candidates, or are they just winging it?
- Are the interviewers polite and sincerely interested in learning more about the candidate's background, or are any of them annoyed that the interview is taking them away from their work?
- Does the company do its best to follow-up with top applicants and keep them engaged or do several days or weeks go by without any feedback from the interviewer?
- Is the interviewing process lengthy or is it respectful of candidates' time?
At the end of the day, the interviewing process is as much about candidate discovery as it is about employer branding. It is therefore important for employers to evaluate whether their practices are attracting or detracting key talent from their organizations.

Harrogate Choral Society's latest rehearsal had a joyful start when chairman Peter Thompson presented a cheque for £500 to Sam Westwood, service manager at Starbeck-based charity Time Together.
The charity provides support for people with autism and Asperger's.
The donation was the first to be made as a result of the society's 70th anniversary bid to support local charities by donating £1 for each ticket sold.
The funding came from the choir's sparkling Gala Night of Opera concert.
Also at the rehearsal was Frances Eliot, head of Practical Support Services at HELP (Harrogate Easier Living Project), which is the next charity supported by the choral society.
The charity provides a wide range of services to elderly and vulnerable people in the Harrogate District, including a volunteer driver service for appointments, meetings and even concerts.
HELP will receive a donation from ticket sales at the Harrogate Choral Society's next concert – the annual festive treat of Messiah in the Royal Hall on Saturday 9 December. Tickets for Messiah can be purchased from the Harrogate Theatre Box Office online at www.harrogatetheatre.co.uk or by calling 01423 502116.

"I am not a maker." This is my mantra.
I wail it at Matt after I relieve him of dinner duties and then serve up plates of bubbling brown waste that taste like quinoa and trauma.
I mutter it under my breath as I try to draw Spiderman from memory under the watchful eye of a judgey three-year old, who shrieks in contempt when I add too much blue to the arms.
I think it in my head as I read through descriptions of art classes at community studios and decide to stay home and watch a show about murder instead.
I do not enjoy the crafts. It took me a while to accept this fact about myself, and longer to stop pretending it wasn't so. A lot of innocent people had to suffer through my half-assed potluck dishes and janky homemade gifts and fidgety demeanor at their craft parties.
I have put lives at risk by making spaghetti sauce for family members and skipping the appropriate canning procedures—basically handing everyone a jar filled with tomatoes and deadly bacteria.
Last summer I picked a big bowl of grapes from our backyard, posted a wildly ambitious Instagram about how I was going to make jam, then left the grapes in the back of the fridge for months until they turned into a furry purple puddle.
I don't have the patience and attention to detail that cooking and crafting (and probably life) demand. Every time I take on a project, Matt cheerfully remarks, "Another episode of 'Cutting Corners with Kate'!" and I get all indignant, then proceed to cut every corner until I am left with ruin and damnation.
As a consumer, I love the crafts. I believe in them. I happily eat people's homemade cakes (while they are sleeping) and purchase their amazing artwork to display around my house, which smells of burnt quinoa and rotting grapes. But why do I feel like it makes me less of an interesting person to admit that I do not want to carve a watermelon into a dinosaur for my kids? I honestly don't even want to dye Easter eggs with them, but apparently you can go to jail for not doing that.
Not being crafty isn't the worst thing in the world until you have children. Then it makes you an asshole. Most of my friends and family are makers of one sort or another, and I enjoy their talent immensely until I see how thoughtful and quirky their kids' Halloween costumes are, while my children are stuffed into store-bought hot dog outfits made from cancerous Chinese fabrics.
My own mother sewed our Halloween costumes every year, built us a dollhouse using tongue depressors and made us life-size rag dolls that haunted our dreams.
She baked cookies and pies, helped us with our science fair projects, and read to us at night—books like "Anne of Green Gables" and "Jamaica Inn," which is a story about an albino vicar who shipwrecks, plunders and kills along the coast of Cornwall. We would go to bed with bellies full of molasses sugar cookies and minds full of wicked white priests, while enormous dolls watched over us as we slept.
And it was wonderful. Unfortunately I walked away from my childhood with none of my mother's craft abilities—only an enduring love for tales of murder.
I feel like my kids have gotten the short end of the stick when I look online and see that my friends were making clothing and art and kombucha and yogurt while I was lying facedown in my sons' beds as they wrestled on top of me, hoping the experience would somehow approximate a massage. The makers end up with something delicious or beautiful for their efforts and I end up with someone kicking me in the vagina.
I am not impervious to the pressure to be crafty. I told myself that if I could pick one simple thing to master then it wouldn't be so bad. "I can be the mom who makes the best chocolate chip cookies," I decided one day, then baked one mediocre batch and threw in the towel. "I can be the mom who buys the best chocolate chip cookies," I thought as I settled in to watch "Making a Murderer."
When it comes to "making," I'm a 100% handcrafted quitter. A Pinterest cautionary tale. A lazy, wasteful consumer who is ruining the planet by having hot dog costumes shipped from China in bulk instead of making them herself with … pillows … and … erg …pantyhose?
I dunno! I'm not a maker, dammit!
Funny enough, Matt's sister works at Etsy—a billion-dollar marketplace driven by an ingenious craft army. She is crazy talented and creative, and when we went to the Outer Banks on vacation last week with a bunch of friends, she brought t-shirts and puffy paint and googly eyeball stickers and decals for the kids to design their own fashions. Then another one of our friends had the kids decorate and bake cookies. And another one grabbed a melon baller and made a fun fruit and veggie tray for them. The kids had a blast, and as I watched them in their weird shirts, clutching glow sticks and carrot sticks, dancing to David Bowie, it made me want to be a better maker.
I think the pressure I feel to be a craftier person is partly outdated gender expectations, partly my own insecurity but mostly a real, deep-seated longing to make sure my kids experience the very specific kind of love that lives in personal gestures—drawing with them, reading to them, baking for them. The stuff that my mom did with me that I remember and cherish. My sons don't notice that my voice is cracking and tired when I read, or that my cookies are dense little nuggets of disappointment, or that my Spiderman looks like a member of Blue Man Group (kidding, they absolutely notice that).
It's less about the outcome, less about my own enjoyment and more about just making the effort. I don't know that I'll ever love crafting, but I'm gonna keep hacking away at it for the sake of my kids, cutting as many corners as I can in the process.
So next Halloween, our sons might be dressed in pillowcases and pantyhose. Or they may be home sick with botulism from my spaghetti sauce. But by God, they will know the clumsy, hamfisted touch of a mother who loves them enough to give them a half-assed try.

The story of Rise of the Tomb Raider is set after the the events of the original game. Lara is out to prove that she's not insane and what she experienced on Yamatai actually happened. She is forced to race against Trinity, an organisation that are obsessed with supernatural happenings. As Lara progresses through Syria, she discovers some stunning revelations around her father's legacyRise of the Tomb Raider is a story full of twists and turns. The game doesn't waste any time before putting you right in the thick of the main plot point and it is genuinely enjoyable being able to go through the story with a very relatable Lara Croft. She goes through extreme hardship and always manages to rise above. Overall, I felt that the the story wasn't as strong as the original game as it relied too heavily on predictable set pieces and had some major plot holes which stopped it from being a true masterpiece of storytelling. While a solid narrative, these flaws detract from an otherwise memorable and well acted story.
A minor gripe in Rise of the Tomb Raider's story is how the overall pacing affects the main story. Some of the hub areas can take you out of the overarching storyline as they're quite large with not a lot of the main plot points intertwined within them. While this doesn't reflect the final score and is equally a testament to just how fun these hub areas are, it still harms the narrative as things constantly grind to a halt as you will spend hours in side content.Rise of the Tomb Raider is absolutely beautiful. I can't remember playing a game that changed landscapes this many times. Everything in the game is dynamically changing whether it be the weather or time of day. Whether your under water, climbing icy mountains or trapped in a mineshaft, the game looks absolutely gorgeous. The lighting brings a level of realism that I haven't yet seen in a game. I constantly found myself stopping to stare at all the pretty sights of Syria. The game also runs silky smoothly which is surprising considering the size of the world and amount of things happening on the screen. There is a lot of assets on display constantly, and Crystal Dynamics have achieved a stable framerate combined with a gorgeous looking world.The overall soundtrack of the game is also exceptional. Whether you're taking your time exploring or in the thick of a gun-fire, the soundtrack always seems to suit the specific moment of the game. Voice acting is also exceptional with a wide range of main characters taking part in the game. The only slight negative thing that I noticed with the presentation is that sometimes the transition between gameplay and cutscenes seemed a little bit janky, which shouldn't be a true concern seeing as both are aiming for 30fps/1080p lock. Seeing as previous demoes of the game seemed to have screen tearing and immense slowdown in areas it's a relief to see these problems (mostly) rectified. It's so hard to know where to start talking about Rise of the Tomb Raider. On the surface, and based on what Microsoft has shown throughout the year, it appears be very similar to the first game in the rebooted series. It becomes appear very quickly that Rise of the Tomb Raider is extremely deeper than any game in the series before it. So much love and intricacy has been put into the overall game.
The best parts of Tomb Raider are evident in this installment. The same action-packed gameplay that was in the first game is present here with even more gun-fights and mouth-watering set pieces, but where the game really shines is in the open-world hub areas. This is where you're able to break away from the action and choose how you want to spend your time. There are side missions in each area to get through, challenges to complete as well as a wealth of collectables in each area to find. You're able to go straight through these areas or spend hours between missions getting through them. This is the most amazing thing to me about Rise of the Tomb Raider. I was more than happy to lose hours upon hours in these areas, providing much needed 'quiet time' away from the breakneck pace of the main story. Some players may find the transitions to be a bit jarring but it really works in this game.The combat has been vastly improved from the last game with more ability to play the game stealthily in most areas. You're able to take the higher route and go past enemies if you play your cards correctly. You're also able to use environmental objects to either distract your enemies, or use resources to turn them into explosives.

What's the difference between an iron pan and a cast iron pan?
The most important difference is how the pans get their shape.
A pan that is simply described as iron might be smelted and then poured into a lump (or "pig") of iron that is re-melted with other chemicals, poured and rolled ("wrought) into a flat sheet of iron, heated to make it malleable, and then hammered or pressed (again, wrought) by a stamping machine into the shape of a pan.
Alternatively, the pig iron might be re-melted, alloyed with other forms of iron, and poured ("cast") into a mold to make a cast iron pan
As Mikka Luster wrote, the metal of cast iron differs from wrought iron (Jonas didn't name it), and as Neil Russo wrote, the different metals' characteristics lead to different shaping techniques and acceptability of surface coatings when making cookware.

A blog about sewing and food. Originally this blog was to be a chronicle of my sewing projects but then I realized one does not live by sewing alone.
About Me
- Jul
- Sewing and cooking are two of my favorite things. In the past, I often found myself searching for pictures and details of projects I have done, without success. So I decided to start documenting my creations. Then my son suggested I add my recipes to the blog so that they are documented also.

Simple Applique
Yesterday I made this simple appliqued wall hanging that will be used for a class. I had batiks that were given to me from 2 dear friends and I used them all in this whimsical project. I hung it in the dining room and fell in love with it!
I usually use Wonder Under for my fusing material for the applique parts but I tried Pellon Steam a Seam II so that we could use it in class. It offers more ease in placing the parts on the background but I did find it to be a little fiddly to work with. However you do not need to use a Teflon sheet for placement which is an advantage in class.
It is hard to tell from this pic but I used the blanket stitch for the leaves and stems and the satin stitch for the flower petals; this will allow students to practice both. I honestly want to stipple quilt the background fabric but never got to it yet.

Hi There,
I'm Jaime, the face behind Zoetic Dawn. I am from a little city in New Zealand, have one child, a husband and a cat.
In terms of pieces of paper, I have a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology, and a Post Graduate Diploma in Education (Guidance and Counselling). More than that is my passion for seeing people become the author in their story, creating the journey that is right for them.
In addition to the website we also have a Facebook Group called the Zoetic Dawn Inner Circle. In this safe place for holistic development, we chat, discuss, laugh, share and encourage each other, feel free to come check it out.
If you have any questions please get in touch, always more than happy to have a chat.
Since starting, I am often asked about my methodology. What are my core beliefs that I bring to the table when I begin a coaching relationship?
Zoetic Dawn Coaching is based on a holistic approach, where the focus is on all aspects of self. From Speed Coaching Introductions through to One Hour Sessions, Zoetic Dawn services are designed to look at the whole person.
I believe that addressing all aspects of self is the most sustainable way to see long term change occur regardless of the initial focus. While one aspect tends to be of a bigger focus, allowing all aspects of self into your session, develops a stronger foundation for you to build upon.
Our mind is one of the most powerful tools available to us and a positive or negative mindset can completely shift the opportunities for growth and development. Focusing on mindset and mental blocks, we look at the different ways our mindset can create barriers to success. We then shift our attention to breaking these barriers down, ensuring you see the results that you want in a sustainable long term way.
Physicality represents far more than our body. Referring to how we interact with the external world, and the barriers, pressures and opportunities that arise, we focus on the entire physical world from with-in to with-out. Always focusing on reducing barriers, or better yet turning them into a success, addressing the physical aspects of self enables you to strengthen, body, mind and soul.
Our Soul is an integral aspect of self. From intuition through to knowledge of self, Zoetic Dawn focuses on empowering you to find your truth. Only we have the ability to define what success looks like for us. Only we are able to go within, and to identify what it is that we need for our development and growth, that is where the soul comes into play for Zoetic Dawn. Bringing all aspects of self together and empowering you to live your life, by your terms.
There is no one size fits all coaching package. The focus in on you. What do you want out of these sessions? What inspires you? What empowers you to live your life the way you want to, and importantly, what does that even look like?
The question which we hold most important, regardless of the focus, regardless of the session type is simple to ask, not necessarily simple to answer:
What is success for you?
If you are ready to start answering that question, want sustainable change, that is designed with your life in mind, then Zoetic Dawn may be able to help.

Passing by the center of Ramallah, I saw a few people digging out the remains of Yasser Arafat. For what purpose I asked?
To find out if Israel has poisoned him with polonium 12. Like the Russian agent in London I asked? Yes the group answered.
And what if you find out he was poisoned how could you prove it was Israel? We know its Israel they said, no need for proof. So why are you taking his body out, what will you do if you find out that Israel did it? We will make sure the one responsible will be executed they said.
Oh, in that case I said, you need to think hard on who was so close to him with in the Palestinian cabinet members, circle of friends or body guard that actually put the polonium 12 in his food or body. Are you sure it's not one of his top aids that are Now servicing in the new Palestinian government?
Be careful what you wish for
