Few Presbyterian churches are constructed without a front door.
The idea, of course, is to make it easy for people to find their way inside and hear the Good News.
But many churches are built without one, keynoter Carol Howard Merritt told the 660 people attending Synod of Lakes and Prairies' Synod School this week at Buena Vista University.
Today's front door is the church's website.
"People won't go to a restaurant or stay in a hotel without visiting their website," she said this week. "You may think no one in your rural town cares if you have a [web presence] but they do. It's that important," she added with a smile. "Tell your session I said you have to have it."
Websites can explain to visitors what to expect when they visit your church, she said.
"Think about walking somebody through your service who has never been to church before. Explain what the congregation has been doing. Even people in our own congregations often don't know what we're doing."
From time to time, church leaders should also run their church name through a search engine to find out what people are saying about their house of worship. Merritt told the story of one negative review ― from a person who did not like the politics and practices of a church she served ― driving down the church's online rating to one star.
The solution? Merritt contacted Facebook friends and asked them to explain why they loved and frequented the church. Their testimonials continue to bring visitors to the church.
Merritt asked those present to halt their criticism of people who spend large chunks of their day engaging in social media. It's a little like a non-southerner criticizing the South.
"It is people bad-mouthing what is basically my way of life," she said. "Just stop with the judging – I'm begging you. I hear all the time, what is it with these people? They have way too much time on their hands. If you criticize, you are cutting off an entire generation."
In fact, she noted, the fastest-growing demographic among Facebook users is people 65 and older. "They've realized they can see their grandchildren there," she said.
The best church websites are in "constant conversation" with people, she said, rotating sermons, calendar and newsletter items and other pieces of news people can use. Many churches use their website as a place where the "highly-nomadic generation" of 20- somethings and 30-somethings stay connected.
"It can take them a while to find a new church home," Merritt said, considering young adults move, on average, every 2.7 years. "Just having a website is an incredible opportunity for your church to minister to a generation."
At this point of her career in professional ministry, Merritt said she seeks a balance between the speed at which people can organize around their passion ― via the Internet ― and "sitting in meeting after meeting so that we can do the same thing this Sunday as we did last Sunday."
"Having passion and excitement ― all of that is great for the 15 seconds that it happens, but without organization we can't make needed change," she said. "How can we begin to work together to take the passion and the immediacy of a movement that is often the fruit of the high-speed Internet world and begin to marry it with people who have been doing on-the-ground social justice work for decades?"
Mike Ferguson is a ruling elder at the United Presbyterian Church of Lone Tree (Iowa), a reporter for "The Muscatine Journal"― the newspaper where Mark Twain got his start ― editor of "Out and About, the enewsletter of the Presbytery of East Iowa, and a frequent contributor (especially this week) to Presbyterian News Service.

It is uncertain whether phenotypes of asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) vary between populations with different genetic and environmental characteristics. Here, our objective was to compare the phenotypes of airways disease in two separate populations.
This was a cross-sectional observational study in adult populations from New Zealand and China. Participants aged 40–75 years who reported wheeze and breathlessness in the last 12 months were randomly selected from the general population and underwent detailed characterisation. Complete data for cluster analysis were available for 345 participants. Hierarchical cluster analysis was undertaken, based on 12 variables: forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1), FEV1/forced vital capacity ratio, bronchodilator reversibility, peak expiratory flow variability, transfer coefficient of the lung for carbon monoxide, exhaled nitric oxide fraction, total IgE, C-reactive protein, age of symptom onset, body mass index, health status and cigarette smoke exposure.
Cluster analysis of the combined dataset described five phenotypes: "severe late-onset asthma/COPD overlap group", "moderately severe early-onset asthma/COPD overlap group", "moderate to severe asthma group with type 2 predominant disease", and two groups with minimal airflow obstruction, differentiated by age of onset. Separate analyses by country showed similar patterns; however, a distinct obese/comorbid group was observed in the New Zealand population.
Cluster analysis of adults with symptomatic airways disease suggests the presence of similar asthma/COPD overlap phenotypes within populations with different genetic and environmental characteristics, and an obese/comorbid phenotype in a Western population.

Posted 17 September 2014 | By Alexander Gaffney, RAC,
The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has released two new guidance documents intended to clarify for generic drug makers the criteria by which the agency determines which applications it will "refuse to receive" due to deficiencies in an Abbreviated New Drug Application (ANDA) filing.
The submission of an ANDA, as with most applications submitted to FDA, involves two stages: the submission of the application to FDA, and FDA agreeing to file the application with its review team.
Each stage has its own set of submission criteria, which are meant to weed out deficient applications which would otherwise cause an application not to obtain approval. For example, if FDA notices that an application is missing an entire section, the agency might refuse to accept it. Similarly, if a section is complete but is missing key information, FDA might similarly refuse to accept an application.
"A refuse-to-receive decision indicates that FDA determined that an ANDA is not sufficiently complete to permit a substantive review," FDA has explained. FDA has already established similar criteria for new drugs, such as in its October 2013 Manual of Policies and Procedures, Good Review Practice: Refuse to File.
Now FDA is releasing similar documents for generic drug manufacturers.
In a new draft guidance, ANDA Submissions – Refuse to Receive for Lack of Proper Justification of Impurity Limits, FDA explains that ANDA submissions are often rejected at the early stage for one of three reasons:
As FDA goes on to explain in the guidance, it considers information regarding the purity of a drug substance to be essential to the ANDA review process. If companies are unable to demonstrate the purity of their drug—or at least that present impurities are justifiable—FDA will refuse to receive a drug.
FDA said companies should be able to show one of four things in their submissions:
The agency's second guidance, ANDA Submissions –Refuse-to-Receive Standards, is a deep dive into the same process, but from a more general perspective.
As with the earlier draft guidance on the same subject, the document contains a laundry list of regulatory do's and don'ts. Do, for example, make sure your active pharmaceutical ingredient is justified according to the ICH Q11 guidance. Don't submit an application with missing information about API sterility.
The list is apparently needed. FDA said it refused to receive nearly 10% of all ANDAs last year because of deficiencies, and as many as 18% in 2010.
But beyond those details, FDA also makes some changes to the guidance to better reflect the difference between "major" and "minor" deficiencies. "Generally, a major deficiency is one that in FDA's judgment cannot be easily remedied," FDA explained. Minor deficiencies, in contrast, can be easily remedied, and FDA will grant the ANDA applicant "a prescribed time period" in which to provide additional information. However, if there are 10 or more minor deficiencies in an application (or just one major deficiency), FDA will refuse to receive the application.
Sponsors should also be aware of FDA's requirement that they be current on their user fee obligations. Failure to pay fees under the Generic Drug User Fee Act (GDUFA) will cause an application to be rejected, FDA's guidance explains.

Perfect Organize Closet
Main thing for organize closet in order is differentiated according to their content (underwear, shirts, scarves and accessories). And consider steps that you need for each as you go to save them. For example, a drawer intended underwear may be narrower than another where you go to save. We speak of organize closet, need for a series of infallible basic items to save us from any circumstance. Indeed, this is critical. However, with few exceptions, do not pay importance it deserves its organization. In this special we will focus precisely on how to put clothes, tips to keep order and also some tricks storage and folded garments. And, to dress well, why not start with perfect wardrobe.
Best to have a perfect organize closet is organize by product groups. This technique will be much easier to find necessary clothing at all times. First is to separate bending of rising like a professional warehouse in question. I recommend doubling only sweatshirts and point, rest (shirts, suits, trousers and coats) will always razing. Never perches no point in time just deformed. Then, ideal is to group items by families in blocks. Block shirts, knit block, block jackets, etc. Within this order, can make subgroups, for example, jackets sport jackets, clothing, etc.

What a difference a decade makes
By Nancy Seeley
Sleepy little Mexican fishing villages don't change much in merely a decade, do they?
In much of the world, the advent of the 21st century has ushered in heightened concern about issues like global warming, damage to the ecosystem, recycling, energy conservation and biofuels. But all that doesn't really affect us here in paradise, where things are largely the same as they always were, right? Think again if you thought that was so, amigos.
If you're visiting Zihuatanejo for the first time, things may seem a lot more rustic and low key than back home, but to those of us who have lived here for awhile, the differences between then and now are pretty impressive indeed.
Without nearby Ixtapa only a mountain away, some of these changes might have been slower in coming, but the need for sister communities both depending greatly on tourism dollars to compete effectively in the 21st century has spearheaded a fairly long list… Visit: www.adip.info

What's in a (presidential candidate's) name?
Unlike Western names, Chinese names have meanings that are (in general) obvious and out in front. Take my name, Benjamin. It means "son of my right hand," but most people don't know that.
Then take a Chinese name, like 毛泽东 (mao2 ze2 dong1). So the surname comes first, and while these all have meaning (in Mao's case 'hair'), I suppose they are just considered a name, like Smith. Nobody thinks of a Smith as a smith. But the given name in this case, 泽东, means "beneficence to the East."
Now, of course, (if he were just a normal guy) people wouldn't go around thinking of him as Hairy Beneficence to the East. They would just think of him as "Old Mao," or "Zedong." But still, the name is made of words that are used in the language as it exists today. In other words, the names are not based on Latin or Aramaic or whatever, so that the meaning is lost on most people. The meaning is right there in your face.
Having said that, (now there's a weird expression. Of course I said that.), anyway, that being said, (ibid), ahem. In the case of foreign names, things get tricky. In the next few posts, I will deconstruct for you, dear reader, the names of the U.S. presidential candidates (technically 'hopefuls') as they appear in the Chinese media.
1) Mysterious Sticky Horse
Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is referred to in Chinese as 奥巴马 (Ao1 Ba1 Ma3), which is a 3-character transliteration of just his last name "Obama." That is a theme (with some exceptions) in the transliteration of Western names. It's handy to do that, because then his name has three words in it (like a Chinese name, usually), and it is easily readable for people. Otherwise the name would be long and cumbersome to read.
Here is Obama's name, broken down into its separate characters:
奥: "Ao" means "obscure or mysterious." It is also a phonetic word that is used in foreign sounding words, like "Olympics" or "Austria."
巴: "Ba" is another word that is usually used as a syllable in transliterations. But the top meaning in the online Xinhua Chinese dictionary is "something sticky, like mud or 'guo ba' (that rice that sticks to the bottom of the pot)"
马: "Ma" simply means "horse." Pretty straightforward. Also used commonly in transliterations.
So, in sum, Obama is referred to in the Chinese media as the "Mysterious Sticky Horse." Interpret that as you will.
Tune in tomorrow (or whenever I get to it) for more presidential pun-ishment!
NEXT: John McCain and Hillary Clinton...

First Drop!
Vocal start
Second Drop
"Grand Cru" is a familiar term in the wine business and often denominates a special wine, which is made from the best grapes of either one wine-producing area or one vintage.
In this figurative sense, we present the third edition of our compilation series, which started successfully in 2007. We gently refined this year's selection to find a versatile mixture of handpicked gems. At the same time, this compilation boasts of a representative choice of artists who have already released on Connaisseur, as well as up-and-coming new talents and skilful purveyors of fine electronic music.
This year's vintage is the most diverse and comprehensive selection so far. 20 tracks ranging from listening to floor-rockin, both single-minded and detached from all zeitgeisty tendencies. Apart from Connaisseur's own Afrilounge, Chymera, Pol_On, Daso (this time teaming up with Israeli singer Ofrin), ZoëXenia, Estroe, Patrick Chardronnet, Sebastian Roya, Alex Flitsch meets Butch and Martin Beume, we have three newcomers in the selection: The Portuguese young bloods Cleymoore and Himan and the music-making winemaker Florian Hollerith from one of the best wine areas in Germany: the Palatinate, all of them promising artists with unique styles.
Also on board Scandinavia's hot new act Of Norway, Green Empire's Franklin de Costa, London legend DJ Assassin, Finnland's finest Roberto Rodriguez, up and rising Welshman Tom Demac, Drum n Bass hero Dee Pulse (with his first 4-to-the–floor release) and last but not least Hamburg's own 2XR.

hello gorgeous! i'm Rebecca Cafiero.
I'm a lifestyle and wellness expert, writer, speaker, and business strategist.
I used to direct sales and marketing strategies for two publicly traded companies, and managed over $1 billion in sales. Although I was successful and living the dream, I didn't feel like I was living my passion. I realized that in order to grow I needed to change. Inspired to take the leap, I chose to marry my executive background with my love for nutrition, personal development, and leading a balanced lifestyle.
Merging my corporate business experience with my passion for assisting others to pursue holistic wellness, I founded Elevate Your Life Project in 2014. This online community allows women to explore the possibilities of a life lived without limits. Physical. Mental. And financial. The EYL community is made up of over 7,300 women and continues to grow.
Over the years, I've helped numerous women attain a six-figure or more yearly income through my wellness and healthy lifestyle-focused network marketing business. I've also had the pleasure of assisting hundreds more to start their own business—many from the comfort of their own home.
Speaking at wellness events and entrepreneurial workshops are just two ways I enjoy sharing my experiences and knowledge.
I live for helping others create a life worth loving. If you're looking for more out of your life, I'd love to connect!
Rebecca is a FORCE. You will notice it the first moment you meet her. When I first met Rebecca, I had been treading water in my multiple businesses. I had the drive and I had the talent and knowledge but I needed strategy. Masterminding with her over the past two years has been a pivotal part in the growth and further success of my business. We love collaborating so much that next year we are venturing on a business endeavor together. I could not be more excited for the future of our business, our friendship, and our families.
Rebecca has been a catalyst in my life and major factor in me becoming the woman I am today. She introduced me to tools and experiences that inspired me to act. With them I was able to release 40 pounds, incorporate my business and publish my first book.
Your dreams don't stay dreams for long with Rebecca on your team. They become your reality!

Yes, you got that right! The experts have discovered that this is the fruit, that cures cancer and it's 10,000 times more powerful than the conventional chemotherapy treatment. But, the real and ugly truth is that they do not want to know, as the largest drug manufacturers can no longer sell their terrible products. Just take a look at the article below and find out more about this super healthy fruit! As we mentioned before, many experts around the world think that this is the strongest anti-carcinogen on this planet.
The million-dollar question – what's the name of this fruit – Guanabana or fruit of the tree soursop – it is a magical product that kills cancer cells.
Well, to be honest with you, I really think that's easy to answer – because (as we mentioned before), there are organizations interested in manufacturing synthetic versions, allowing them to make lots of money. Now you can help others by telling them, that have to drink the juice of guanabana,in order to prevent disease. It is pleasant to taste and its use does not lead to dire consequences of chemotherapy. You could also plant this tree in the yard.And, the best thing about it is that all its parts are useful.
Guanabana – Facts You Must Know:
Here's what you need to know – well, the experts say that Guanabana is a low-growing tree and does not take up much space. It is known as soursop in Brazil, guanabana in Latin America and Soursop in English. Its fruits are large, sweet, are consumed raw, used for the manufacture of beverages, pastries, etc. The interest in this plant is associated with its strong anti-cancer effects. It has many other qualities, but the most interesting thing is its effect on tumors. This plant has proven curative effect on cancer of all types.And, you should also know that some people say it is useful in all forms of cancer.
And, you'll be amazed when we tell you that the compounds of this tree inhibit the growth of cancer cells 10,000 times more efficient than adriamycin (known a chemotherapeutic agent).And what is more surprising – treatment with extract of soursop destroys only the cancer cells and does not affect healthy cells. Thanks for reading and don't forget to share!

Sorry that it took me sooooo long to post after Easter but hubby and I had a rough couple of weeks. We've been trying to do something for ourselves for a long time now....and we'll talk about that after the 15th of June because we don't want to spoil it. So stay tuned for the big reveal :*)
And for today I have for you a little tutorial on how to make this cute dotty Easter eggs.
All you need is:
- hard boiled eggs
- hot glue gun and lots of glue sticks (I only made 10 eggs and got through 3 small glue sticks)
- your favourite liquid egg paint and containers for it
- tissue paper for laying the eggs after you take them out of the paint
- old newspaper to keep you from messing up your working table
and start adding dots of glue on your eggs an make sure that they stick to the egg and don't fall down. Like this:
This was my test egg to see how it will turn out and I discovered that many small dots don't work quite well and some glue dots fell of my egg in the process. So stick to fewer and bigger dots of glue.
Step 2: put the eggs in your coloring liquid of your choice (prepare the liquid as usual and follow the instructions on your package) and follow instructions on how long the eggs must stay in the liquid for the color to stick on them. For short: paint the eggs how you would usually do them.
And this is how my test egg turned out.
Not quite ok but I've learn a few things: big dots of glue, fewer dots on the egg and don't mix the egg to much in the paint because the dots of glue will fall (my coloring liquid requires to put the eggs in the hot liquid and I think that the heat makes the glue softer and falls of the egg).
So here several eggs painted and with the glue dots on them.
And here are all the eggs with the glue dots removed. You can see my green test egg and the difference between it and the rest of them.
PS. I used white eggs because I wanted my dots to be white.
I hope you find my tutorial useful and if you do try it please let me know. I would love to see what you come out with.
And here is the final picture.
Love and kisses,

Broader representation is starting to become cool, which is great for a lot of people. I for one have been starved for certain kinds of media since I knew how to read, and occasionally, things got a little desperate and I'd find myself searching the bottom of the barrel on fanfiction sites. I'd say those weren't my proudest moments, but I regret nothing.
The other cool thing is that a lot of people want to get into writing with representation in mind, and while that comes with a host of issues all on its own — e.g., people attempting to write experiences that aren't their own and falling flat, or accidentally misrepresenting something badly — it's nice to see that people see the value in it. For a while it was an uphill climb to explain to people just why it was important that everyone see a bit of themselves out there, and how lonely it can feel when not even fictional worlds have people like you in them.

Hemas records an underlying earnings growth of 30.2%
Expects to achieve highest ever levels of revenue and profitability this Financial Year
Hemas Holdings PLC (HHL) and its subsidiaries achieved consolidated revenues of Rs.28.3Bn, year-on-year (YoY) growth of 19.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. During this period operating profit reached Rs.2.8Bn and earnings Rs.1.9Bn, growth of 25.6% and 65.2% respectively. Eliminating the one off transactions in the preceding year and the additional interest income of Rs.196Mn earned from investing the proceeds of the rights issue, underlying operating profit and earnings maintained a healthy growth of 30.8% and 30.2% respectively.
The FMCG sector achieved total revenues of Rs.11.2Bn for the nine months, a 24.4% YoY increase over the previous financial year. Operating profits were Rs.1.4Bn, 54.4% YoY growth, whilst earnings grew at 32.9% to stand at Rs.1.1Bn. Excluding the one-off capital gains recorded previous year, underlying earnings growth was 49.3%. This performance has been driven by our Bangladesh operation maintaining excellent revenue and profit growth, strong sales across all our major brands in the domestic market and relatively weak commodity prices for key raw material inputs.
Overall healthcare sector revenue for the nine months under review stood at Rs.11.9Bn, a YoY increase of 18.3% whilst earnings grew at 25.8%. During the quarter, Hemas Hospitals opened its first wellness centre at Orion City responding to a call to provide top quality healthcare services to the 6,000 plus employee strength, at Colombo's premier IT park. This marks another novel concept by Hemas Hospitals in the development of the Sri Lankan healthcare industry. Our hospitals growth in revenue contributed 31.0% of the overall segments revenue growth. Hemas pharmaceutical distribution operation registered a YoY topline growth of 12.1% maintaining its market leadership position. Our pharmaceutical sales growth continues to be driven by our strong presence in growing therapeutic segments.
J. L. Morison posted a YoY growth of 28.6% and earnings growth of 71.7% for the nine months ended December 31, 2015. Revenue growth was largely driven by the increase in sales from the buyback arrangement with Government of Sri Lanka and sales growth in key diagnostics agencies. The significant growth in operating profit resulted from the increases in revenues in both consumer/OTC products and pharmaceuticals segments and last year's earnings being depressed by closure of the factory in Q1 FY 2014/15.
Transportation sector reported a revenue of Rs.1.3Bn, a 15.2% YoY topline growth. The increase in revenue resulted from growth in our domestic logistics and maritime operations with warehouses operating at high levels of capacity, new customers for our distribution operation and higher levels of container handling and repair activity. Aviation businesses continued to experience challenges due to lower yields of ticketing income despite increases in volumes. Triggered by limited revenue growth from the aviation segment, transportation sector registered an operating profit of Rs.271Mn indicating a de – growth of 6.1%.
During December, our leisure sector opened our newest hotel property, Anantara Peace Haven Tangalle Resort. We believe that this property will establish a new benchmark for luxury travellers to Sri Lanka seeking authentic cultural experiences. The hotels first month of operation has been encouraging. The leisure segment recorded a total revenue of Rs.2.2Bn, reflecting a 9.2% YoY growth for the nine months under consideration. Serendib Hotels posted a revenue growth of 11%, driven by strong performances from AVANI Bentota and Hotel Sigiriya with an overall occupancy of 78%.
Finally in technology, N-Able posted a YoY revenue growth of 21.3%, despite the revenue growth, earnings were impacted by project delays and high operational leverage.
We continue to work hard to try and sustain our strong growth in the final quarter of the financial year and achieve our highest ever levels of revenue and profitability.

Let R be a ring: since R is an abelian group under +, na has meaning for us for n in Z, a in R. Show that (na)(mb)=(nm)(ab) if n,m are integers and a,b in R.
Please show steps. Thanks!
anyway, use what na and mb means...
$\displaystyle (na)(mb) = \underbrace{(a + a + \cdots + a)}_{n \text{ times}} \underbrace{(b + b + \cdots + b)}_{m \text{ times}} = \cdots$
what does this have to do with quotient rings?

On March 10th, 2017, God decided to give life to an incredible woman. She touched each person she met with her kindness and love.
Grace was born the 7th child from a family of 8 (Beloved sister of the late Congetto (the late Josephine), the late Anthony (Marcella), Carmello (Mary Edna), the late Phillip (the late Janet), Santa (Sarro), Sylvia (the late William), the late Marie (the late Willfred) ). Her parents Josephine and Carlo Alberti, immigrated to the United States from Italy in the very early 1900's. Her pride in her Italian Heritage was something she passed on to all of her family. She grew up with her family in the heart of Milwaukee's West Side attending Wisconsin Avenue Grade School and West Division High School.
Grace married Raymond Wojnowski in 1951 and they had 5 children JoAnn (Jay) Kenseth, the late Frank, Carl, Laura (Steven) Szydlowski, and Jeanine (James) Bezie.
She enjoyed a long career and made many lifelong friends at Motor Castings as a payroll clerk. Being a working woman in her era was not the "normal" and she handled her home, career, and children. She made it look easy.
She loved life and lived it to the fullest. She was happiest when she was in her kitchen. Her specialties were meatball Sundays, cheesecake, seven layer jello, and the infamous Christmas Cookies. If you were lucky enough to receive this gift, you know the dozens of varieties and hand dipped chocolates were made with love and tasted like Heaven.
In addition to cooking, Grace also kept very busy with other hobbies. She enjoyed canning, gardening, fishing, spending time with her 15 Grandchildren (Heather, Natalie, Abby, Michael, Samuel, Keri, Brent, Lori, Nicole, Stephanie, Eric, Emily, Matthew, Adam, and Amy) and 23 Great Grandchildren (Noah, Henry, Ava, Jackson, Chase, Cruise, Leonardo, Lucas, Brooks, Joseph, Evelyn, Iver, Lennon, Dominick, Matteo, Yllana, Nathan, Jordan, Olivia, Vincent, Taylor, Morgan, Issac).
Grace will forever be remembered for her incredible ability to tell her old stories. She kept everyone laughing and smiling. People loved to listen and she had the whole rooms attention. Friends and family always commented she was one of their favorite people even when they had met her years ago, or had not seen her in a long time. She also enjoyed catching up with friends and family on the phone, it never stopped ringing.
She was a true matriarch and will be dearly missed.

Film Review: The Only Living Boy in New YorkA film for grownups in every way, this disarming romantic triangle has a rare and quite deep literacy.
One of the most literate films ever made in this country, director Marc Webb's The Only Living Boy in New York comes as a welcome oasis of intelligence in a summer desert of comic-book superheroes and gross-out farces which posit urination as the height of wit.
Primarily concerning itself with writers and writing, Allan Loeb's richly populated and observant screenplay centers around aspiring scribbler Thomas Webb (Callum Turner), who is frustrated in every way—starting with a distant dad, Ethan (Pierce Brosnan), who happens to be a prominent publisher, unwilling to support him either career-wise (dismissing his writing as "serviceable") or in his funky downtown choice of residence. Thomas is besotted by pretty Mimi (fetching yet obnoxious Kiersey Clemons, and just what the role requires), who considers their single tryst as just a one-off and wants to keep things platonic. Things begin to turn around, however, due to two things: Thomas' discovery that Ethan is having an affair with a beautiful co-worker, Johanna (Kate Beckinsale), and the appearance in his life of a new neighbor, W.F. (Jeff Bridges), who lavishly quotes Ezra Pound and drinks like a fish, while offering a lot of sage counsel regarding both his love and literary lives.
Starting with a voiceover narration by W.F., the film is also a love letter to New York City and an elegiacally mournful tribute to its more creative if cash-strapped past ("There's a John Varvatos store where CBGB's used to be"). Where Woody Allen once celebrated the Manhattan he knew around him, this film revels in what has passed, and the filmmakers take admirable care to include vestiges of a more interesting time that still exist, like one of my favorite haunts, the Argosy Book Store. (Remember bookshops, New Yorkers?) This very classy soap opera benefits greatly from the wonderfully fluid cinematography of Stuart Dryburgh and a classic, sweepingly romantic yet never overpowering music score by Rob Simonsen.
The impressively assembled cast frequently astonishes, with each actor working at the height of his craft and instinct. Always authentically low-key, from his earliest work in The Last American Hero andThe Last Picture Show, Bridges has consistently delivered solid, often memorable work; he's clearly one of the great film actors. In the hands of almost anyone else, W.F. might have come across as insufferably know-it-all and narcissistically enigmatic, yet his crusty-deep humanity and innate lack of grandstanding make the character the kind of dream mentor everyone wishes they'd had. "Real" has always been this performer's specialty, as with his brother Beau and father Lloyd, and that quality has never been more needed or better utilized than here. Beckinsale continues to be both magisterially funny and devastatingly alluring (as she was last year in the criminally neglected-at-awards-time Love & Friendship). She's simply the most seductive woman onscreen today, her magnetism based just as much on her inescapably radiant intelligence as it is on anything fleshly.
Turner, although a tad too buff in the bod to be convincing as a perpetual lit-geek/romantic loser, is impressively sincere and deeply affecting. Cynthia Nixon, as severely depressed Judith—the mother Thomas strives to protect—in a minimum of scenes manages to create a rich and rueful full-scale character, while Brosnan has never been better: This ultimate pretty boy has matured beautifully and makes the seemingly glacial Ethan perhaps the most intriguing character in the movie.
New York stage treasure Bill Camp has a funny, embarassing cameo as a drunk uncle holding the crowd hostage with his wedding toast to a haplessly trapped bride and groom. Even a dinner party that Judith throws—her form of medication, according to her adoring if stymied son—is glamour-cast with the likes of Tate Donovan, Debi Mazar, Wallace Shawn and exotic model-turned-artist Anh Duong making pithy remarks about Brooklyn being the new Manhattan (although Thomas thinks, rightly, that the honor belongs to Philadelphia).

We love making fun food for kids and these Wormy Gravel Cups were the perfect snack for our latest camping trip.
Wormy Gravel Cups – Fun Food for Kids
When you think of camping, what do you think of? When I go camping with my boys one word comes to mind: DIRT. These Wormy Gravel cups were the perfect snack to take along on our latest mountain adventure. Making fun food for kids is one of my favorite things to do and these were super popular with the kiddos. And I love that they can help to make them.
This recipe is very much like Chex Muddy Buddies but with a twist. I guess you could call them 'mud'dy buddies. 😉 Or dirt and rocks, worms and dirt, etc. You get the picture.
Wormy Gravel Cups – Fun food for kids
- 9 C Rice Chex
- 1 C semi-sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 C creamy peanut butter
- 1/4 C butter
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1 C powdered sugar
- 1 C crushed chocolate wafer cookies (we used Oreo)
- Gummy worms
Step 1- In a large bowl, measure cereal and set aside.
Step 2- Microwave chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter uncovered for one minute. Stir.
Step 3-Microwave about 30 seconds longer until mixture is smooth. Stir in Vanilla.
Step 4- Pour mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated
Step 5-Divide mixture into two resealable gallon-size bags.
Step 6- Add Powdered sugar to one bag and crushed cookies to the other.
Step 7- Seal bag and shake, shake, shake until all of the cereal is well coated.
Step 8- Spread onto waxed paper to cool.
Step 9- Once cooled, mix together in a bowl and add in gummy worms. I used three small bags of gummy worms and my kids wished I would have used more. 🙂
These are without a doubt one of our favorite snacks and I love that you can make all different varieties by changing what you coat the cereal with.
What is your favorite variation of Muddy Buddies?

political ad voice over. Political advertisements state succinctly the candidate's stance and position on current issues. Political ad voice over can be hard-sell or soft-sell. In cases of hard-sell,
political advertisements can be strong or epic, fast, in-your-face, and urgent. In terms of epic voice style, they can even be be voiced

personal emotions, and sensitivities. Political commercials are essential, extremely important, and necessary,
particularly during election years. Candidates are dependent on political spots by the voice over artist and voice actor,
since the paid advertisement, whether on radio, TV, or online, can make or break the effectiveness of a political candidate's run for election.

After touching a dangerous high of 364 basis points late last year, the benchmark LIBOR-OIS spread reached to a level of 25 basis points on August 3, 2009. In layman terms, it indicates the extent of credit market rotations. The current levels are indicative of easing credit markets, which almost froze after the collapse of Lehman Brothers, and other major players on the Wall Street.
The signs are positive with companies reporting their Q2 results better than expectations. Among others, Goldman Sachs reported a jump of 46% in net revenues. Amid fears of sluggish growth, France and Germany have been robust performers on the GDP front. Contradicting all previous forecasts, the U.S. Economy is expected to register a growth of 2-2.2% in 2009. Weaker Dollar is likely to boost exports of the developing, especially, the BRIC nations. However, on the flip side, the unemployment rate in US remains high. Consumers are still not willing to spend – savings are taking precedence. Consumers and corporates, alike are trying to deleverage their positions. Although, the banks have eased their credit norms, comparatively, and interbank rates have fallen, the entities at all levels are not willing to raise loans. Nevertheless, the TED spread (indicative of credit risk in the economy) has also fallen to acceptable levels of 27 basis points. It hovered around 464 basis points in H2 09.
Predictably, one section of observers, is bullish on speedy economic recovery, while the other is bearish. Although, exact predictions are hard to come by, the overall the indications appear positive and the world economy is recovering at a much better pace than previously expected – better than the slowdown after the 'Dot Com' crash at the start of the millennium.

This is a new problem with recent lightroom update. I try to copy to .dng directly from a CF card onto external HD and lightroom justs stops after the Canon RAW files are imported instead of continuing on with the .dng conversion. If I then stop it in the middle, it will suddenly convert a few files. This used to work fine (although a previous update had this problem too but they fixed it quickly). I can workaround by first copying to HD and then copy to DNG but it's a pain to wait a have to come back and do another long operation on 1500 photos.

Arthroscopy (also called arthroscopic surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage of the interior of a joint is performed using an arthroscope, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopaedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming damaged cartilage.
The advantage of arthroscopy over traditional open surgery is that the joint does not have to be opened up fully. Instead, for knee arthroscopy for example, only two small incisions are made - one for the arthroscope and one for the surgical instruments to be used in the knee cavity to fully remove the knee cap. This reduces recovery time and may increase the rate of surgical success due to less trauma to the connective tissue. It is especially useful for professional athletes, who frequently injure knee joints and require fast healing time. There is also less scarring, because of the smaller incisions. Irrigation fluid is used to distend the joint and make a surgical space. Sometimes this fluid leaks into the surrounding soft tissue causing extravasation and edema.
The surgical instruments used are smaller than traditional instruments. Surgeons view the joint area on a video monitor, and can diagnose and repair torn joint tissue, such as ligaments and menisci or cartilage
It is technically possible to do an arthroscopic examination of almost every joint in the human body. The joints that are most commonly examined and treated by arthroscopy are the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle, foot, and hip.
Professor Kenji Takagi in Tokyo has traditionally been credited for performing the first arthroscopic examination of the knee joint of a patient in 1919. He used a 7.3 mm cystoscope for his first arthroscopies. Recently it has been discovered that the Danish physician Severin Nordentoft reported on arthroscopies of the knee joint as early as 1912 at the Proceedings of the 4lst Congress of the German Society of Surgeons at Berlin.[1] He baptized the procedure (in latin) arthroscopia genu. Nordentoft used sterile saline or boric acid solution as his optic media and entered the joint by a portal on the outer border of the patella. However, it is not clear if these examinations were anatomic studies of deceased or of living patients.
Pioneering work in the field of arthroscopy began as early as the 1920s with the work of Eugen Bircher.[2] Bircher published several papers in the 1920s about his use of arthroscopy of the knee for diagnostic purposes.[2] After diagnosing torn tissue through arthroscopy, Bircher used open surgery to remove or repair the damaged tissue. Initially, he used an electric Jacobaeus thoracolaparoscope for his diagnostic procedures, which produced a dim view of the joint. Later, he developed a double-contrast approach to improve visibility.[3] Bircher gave up endoscopy in 1930, and his work was largely neglected for several decades.
While Bircher is often considered the inventor of arthroscopy of the knee,[4] the Japanese surgeon Masaki Watanabe, MD receives primary credit for using arthroscopy for interventional surgery.[5][6] Watanabe was inspired by the work and teaching of Dr Richard O'Connor. Later, Dr. Heshmat Shahriaree began experimenting with ways to excise fragments of menisci.[7]
The first operating arthroscope was jointly designed by these men, and they worked together to produce the first high-quality color intraarticular photography[8] The field benefited significantly from technological advances, particularly advances in flexible fiber optics during the 1970s and 1980s.
Knee arthroscopy has in many cases replaced the classic arthrotomy that was performed in the past. Today knee arthroscopy is commonly performed for treating meniscus injury, reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament and for cartilage microfracturing. Arthroscopy can also be performed just for diagnosing and checking of the knee; however, the latter use has been mainly replaced by magnetic resonance imaging.
After having a knee arthroscopy you will have swelling around the knee, you must allow this to settle before doing any serious exercise or excessive walking. Swelling can take anywere from 7–15 days to completely settle. It is important to wait till there is no swelling left around the knee because the knee will not be stable enough to operate on, and may cause pain and in some cases cause the knee to swell more.
During an average knee arthroscopy, a small fiberoptic camera (the arthroscope) is inserted into the joint through a small incision, about 4 mm (1/8 inch) long. A special fluid is used to visualize the joint parts. More incisions might be performed in order to check other parts of the knee. Then other miniature instruments are used and the surgery is performed.
Arthroscopic surgeries of the knee are done for many reasons, but the usefulness of surgery for treating osteoarthritis is doubtful. A double-blind placebo-controlled study on arthroscopic surgery for osteoarthritis of the knee was published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2002.[9] In this three-group study, 180 military veterans with osteoarthritis of the knee were randomly assigned to receive arthroscopic débridement with lavage, or arthroscopic lavage alone without debridement (a procedure only imitating the surgical debridement, where superficial incisions to the skin were made to give the appearance that the debridement procedure had been performed). For two years after the surgeries, patients reported their pain levels and were evaluated for joint motion. Neither the patients nor the independent evaluators knew which patients had received which surgery (thus the "double blind" notation). The study reported, "At no point did either of the intervention groups report less pain or better function than the placebo group."[10] Because there is no confirmed benefit for these surgeries in cases of osteoarthritis of the knee, many payors are reluctant to reimburse surgeons and hospitals for what can be considered a procedure which seems to create the risks of surgery with questionable or no demonstrable benefit.[11] A 2008 study confirmed that there was no long-term benefit for chronic pain, above medication and physical therapy.[12] Since one of the main reasons for arthroscopy is to repair or trim a painful and torn or damaged meniscus, a recent study in the New England Journal of Medicine which shows that about 60% of these tears cause no pain and are found in asymptomatic subjects, may further call the rationale for this procedure into question.[13]
Arthroscopy is commonly used for treatment of various diseases of the shoulder including subacromial impingement, acromioclavicular osteoarthritis, rotator cuff tears, frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), chronic tendonitis and partial tears of the long biceps tendon, SLAP lesions and shoulder instability.
Arthroscopy of the wrist is used to investigate and treat symptoms of repetitive strain injury, fractures of the wrist and torn or damaged ligaments. It can also be used to ascertain joint damage caused by arthritis.
Many invasive spine procedures involve the removal of bone, muscle, and ligaments to access and treat problematic areas. In some cases, thoracic (mid-spine) conditions requires a surgeon to access the problem area through the rib cage, dramatically lengthening recovery time.
Arthroscopic (also endoscopic) spinal procedures allow a surgeon to access and treat a variety of spinal conditions with minimal damage to surrounding tissues. Recovery times are greatly reduced due to the relatively small size of incision(s) required, and many patients are treated on an outpatient basis.[14] Recovery rates and times vary according to condition severity and the patient's overall health.

...picked up on a long walk and carried home in your pocket
Wednesday, February 8
There's no room in my garden for the free silver bucket of spring bulbs. I try to give them away, my friend suggests a window box or planting them in the lawn. I give them to myself.

Native to Central America, the Dragon Fruit is a fast growing, perennial, epiphytic, vine- like cacti that displays lovely ornamental flowers and produces stunning, intensely coloured fruit. Dragon fruit consist of triangular green, fleshy, jointed, many-branched stems which can reach lengths of 5-6m. From these long stems the plant bears fleshy edible fruits that are large, rounded and thick (10-12cm), ranging from bright pink in colour to crimson or red with fleshy green scales. The inside consists of a white, red or magenta coloured pulp with many small black embedded seeds.
Plant & Growing Tips:
The dragon fruit prefers tropical and subtropical climates that are mostly free from frosts and freezes.
As a member of the cactus family, dragon fruit are a full sunlight crop.
The dragon fruit appears to tolerate wind, drought and slightly saline conditions.
Can handle poor soils, but prefers free draining soil with sandy to clay loam types and high organic matter. Preferably, soils should be 10-30% sand content for dragon fruit. Avoid waterlogged soils.
Use mulch for root protection during hot summer weather.
Irrigation is critical during fertiliser applications and fruiting. If your dragon fruit does not receive enough water during fruiting it may result in abnormal splitting of fruit.
Planting dragon fruit generally involves a support post such as a trellis or wooden frame where a single stem is grown up the post and then allowed to branch down and over the frame.
Dragon fruits are large and spreading, so it is best to plant 4.5-6m away from trees, electrical lines or other structures. For commercial growers, plant 3m between posts and 4.5m between rows.
Ensure high quality fruit production by planting several varieties to allow for cross pollination between types to assure you better fruit set and size.
Prune shortly after harvest to obtain an open, manageable and productive umbrella shaped canopy.
Fertiliser Applications:
Stage: First Year
Product: Dinofert Organic Fertiliser, Dinofert Standard Pellets
Gardener Use: 1-1½cups (200-300g)
Commercial Use: 300g
Comments: Wait until 2 months after planting before giving your dragon fruit tree its first application. After the first application, fertilisation should remain frequent (every 2 months) using the light applications as mentioned above.
Stage: 2nd-3rd Year
Product: Dinofert Organic Fertiliser, Dinofert Standard Pellets
Gardener Use: 1½- 2¼ cups (300-450g)
Commercial Use: 350-550g
Comments: Gradually increase the fertiliser with each application to the maximum amount. Apply around the base, but do not spread directly against the main stem of the dragon fruit. Applications should be carried out every 2 months. Commercial growers can alter rates to slightly higher for greater fruit yields.
Stage: Following Years
Product: Dinofert Organic Fertiliser, Dinofert Standard Pellets
Gardener Use: 6-9 cups (1.2-1.8kg)
Commercial Use: 1.4-2.2kg
Comments: Apply twice during the year, that is, in spring and again in autumn around the base of the stem.
Please note that the above information and recommendations are provided in good faith and are given without liability for loss or damage suffered as a result of their application. Optimum response to fertilisers will only be achieved when weeds, insect pests and diseases are controlled and adequate soil water is available.
Fertiliser use recommendations are presented as a practical guide to good agronomic practice under most situations. Local soil, climatic and other conditions should also be taken into account as these could affect plant response to fertiliser rates and applications.
For further information we recommend you seek advice from your local agronomist.

Timely words Sumana... Devastating news from Nepal. Thinking of all those people enduring the trauma of the situation there.ReplyDelete
So many dead in that disaster. A very timely reminder.. And yet the temples stand.ReplyDelete
Regardless of mankind the earth has a mind of its own and shakes where it will. Perhaps after years of experience it was worked out where the fault lines were all those years ago to save the temple for so long.ReplyDelete
so tough... i've seen it in the news yesterday and was so shocked... what a disaster for the people that live thereReplyDelete
I was on the fifth floor of my institute and everything was swaying.ReplyDelete
It was very scary.Nepal had to bear the brunt.Today there was another one.ReplyDelete
This is so sad... you have captured the essence of the pain that must be felt at the loss of loved ones in Nepal...!ReplyDelete
It is such a sad thing to have succumbed not to the risks of the climb but rather to an unexpected happening. It is a pity. Thanks for highlighting it Sumana!ReplyDelete
The news coming from your part of the world is so sad. I hope you all stay safe and your worried students can envisage the coming days with less fear.ReplyDelete
Very frightening, Sumana. How hard it must have been to comfort your worried students! I hadn't heard of this temple that still stood tall. Sometimes unexpected miracles happen. So sad for the loss of life, and more aftershocks occurring today!ReplyDelete
so sad... it's been on the news... you captured some of the dramaReplyDelete
These natural disasters are so scary because they stomp down in the middle of our everyday lives and change them forever....I saw the news about the climbers and their guides...so very sad when life is gone in a flash.ReplyDelete
You captured the pain and loss of those who are living this scary hell right now.
just horrible how it hits and leaves behind destruction and death.. and the fear that eats..ReplyDelete
- Anonymous26 April 2015 at 07:51
I like your closing lines, that nature, in the form of Mount Everest, also mourns the deaths of those who were caught up in the disaster.ReplyDelete
The picture you've painted of children who can't understand the magnitude of the loss (or of people so far away that they are detached) is so devastating... mostly because it's true.ReplyDelete
I hope the souls that perished are at rest, and that their families find some comfort.
the loss of life and destruction of ancient structures is devastating. of course, the lives are what matter most, but it is also sad when places which have survived generations are ruined. happy to hear not all were destroyed.ReplyDelete
The worst effects of these natural disasters are linked to deforestation and unsustainable land management. Hope human beings stop exploiting mother nature!! As usual..great command till the end, Sumana :)ReplyDelete
Such a tragedy deserves more than a moment of silence. It is good to see the world mobilizing in a positive way to provide assistance. I have a former student of mine living in Katmandu and I am so worried about her safety.ReplyDelete
I like the perspective you have chosen here...it makes it all the more relatable and powerfulReplyDelete
Always radiance to be found here Sumana - even in your description of this recent tragedy... With Best Wishes ScottReplyDelete
- Anonymous26 April 2015 at 13:43
Chilling. A great tragedy.ReplyDelete
Be safe Sumana, especially be more careful with the aftershocks. This news kind of reminded me of Japan.ReplyDelete
Very sad poem - no one can really predict mother nature. As for the mountaineers, earth gave them a cold embrace. :(
A great piece and tribute.ReplyDelete
These tragedies are just heartrending. Sadly, children seem to take the brunt in all adversity - natural and man made.ReplyDelete
'Where Mount Everest Is mourning deaths' speaks of the monumental size of the tragedy...ReplyDelete
Cruel fate, hit-and-miss cruelty--thus we help ourselves survive uncertainty and prepare for the tragedy of mortality. Brilliant. I hope you still stand, my friend.ReplyDelete
Beautifully done. I did a haiku on the earthquake at Carpe Diem and was saddened no-one else saw fit to pat homage. This poem stands in tribute. As does the ensitivity shownReplyDelete
How frightening this must have been. My thoughts are with all affected by the quake. Thank you for your words Sumana.ReplyDelete
The terror of a quake and the random points of death and the untouched. You have written about them well.ReplyDelete
Yes, nature can bring sorrow!ReplyDelete
Nature does what it was meant to do. The sorrow will be heavy for many who've lost so much. Lovely writing though, Sumana.ReplyDelete
It is unfathomable to me how the landscape has been altered so mightily...how temples that have been there for centuries are now rubble and a nation has lost not only thousands of lives but history that cannot be replaced. So very tragic.ReplyDelete
You instatantly connect with the worldReplyDelete
Great job done here for those departed souls!
Such a sad and devastating disaster, which has claimed so many lives. Thousands of souls lost in an instance of natural movement and taken by surprise. Praying for the well-being of those poor people who need, prayers, aid and worldly help..
It is so devastating, Sumana. Beautiful writing.ReplyDelete
May God, give the strength to cope with these irrepairable losses. Let the souls rest in peace.The words touched the right chords!ReplyDelete

'Urgent' warning from Lincolnshire Police as pensioners are targeted by bogus officers
Lincolnshire Police has issued an 'urgent reminder' to the public that a legitimate police officer will never ring them and ask for bank details, after two attempts were made on vulnerable people in Skegness yesterday afternoon (Wednesday).
The first incident was reported just after 3.30pm after a woman in her 70s received a phone call from a man saying he was from central London Police and he needed her bank details because of problems with her account.
The second incident involved a man in his 70s and was reported at 3.55pm. He was contacted by someone pretending to be a police officer who claimed another individual had been caught using his card. The gentleman called his bank and the police.
A police spokesman said: "Lincolnshire Police are investigating the incidents and would like to make absolutely clear to any elderly or vulnerable people, and any family or carers, that a legitimate police officer will never call you and ask for bank or personal details.
"If you receive any calls like this please do not give out any information and report it to police as soon as possible on 101."

Just a photo dump of my current Marauder crew.
Major Bludd - because Hasbro hasn't gotten him right yet.
One of Major Bludd's top team members.
Bludd Hounds?
Bludd Hound #2.
I finally found a use for the "Ripcord" head sculpt from RoC.
One of my first Marauder figures.
The addiction began then.
The other of my first Marauder figures.
What was this character from The Force Awakens?
I don't remember, but I liked the head sculpt enough to build the body with Marauder gear.
Orange Marauder gear because why the hell not?
Red and black because I said so.
This is actually the JoeCon 2017 Val exclusive, but not exactly because I swapped out different bits of gear. I like the green/black contrasts.
I believe that this is a new color palette for the male body.
Whatever, I liked the figure enough to buy him at JoeCon.
"Shooter" - sort of. Inspired by the Shooter concept and much better than what Hasbro tried.
Rock n Roll - kinda'
I really like the shorter sleeves.
The skin tones for the plastic are perfect.
Love the colors of the uniform!
Black Widow head on a Marauder body.
Nothing but love!
I've got to save up some $$$. The prepackaged sets from JoeCon were so loaded with gear that I have loads of it left. I need more bodies and more of the smaller bits! And more weapons! And more head sculpts!
And more and more and more!!!
Doesn't Marauder just rock?
What are your thoughts?

Sweet Toof, Cern, Brown Boys, Shiro, Yes One & False
Welcome to the first installment of our monthly showcase of the top five New York City graffiti and street art pieces found on the city's walls, rooftops and tunnels, an expansion of our popular semi-annual column, curated by Untapped Cities Street Art columnist, Christopher Inoa.
Lucky for us, the graffiti and street artists of New York are not taking a break just because it's January. The temperature may be below freezing, but the men and women who pick up spray cans and paint brushes are not letting something like the cold stop them from making the streets just a bit more colorful. Fresh off a great 2014, the new year has already given us great murals to admire. To catch you up on what's been going on in, here is the first of the monthly column. Happy hunting!
5. Shiro & Yes One
Shiro & Yes One (JMZ via Instagram)
What we love most about this collaboration between graffiti artists Shiro and Yes One is the explosion of color here. Blue, pink, brown, yellow and red all come together to contrast the very gray and bleak days that winter usually gives NYC. Yes One adds his name in bold letters that reminds us of the lettering found in classic comic book covers and Shiro—a Japanese artist heavily influenced by Hip Hop culture—adds one of her trademark female B-Girl characters. This wall is a part of JMZ Walls: a collection of murals in Bushwick.
4. False
False (Fromqueens via Instagram)
For years False has put his name on walls, trucks, tunnels and rooftops. This piece on a rooftop somewhere in Brooklyn, shows that in 2015, the veteran graffiti artist is continuing to experiment with different styles, impressing the many who continue exploring the city for his latest work.
3. Cern
Cern (Halopigg via Instagram)
It's no secret that we're big fans of Cern. His beautiful truck made it on our Top 10 NYC Graffiti Trucks of 2014 and he is starting 2015 with this wonderful mural in Williamsburg. The inspiration for this piece (filled with the colorful and unique animals common in Cern's work) is obviously from his many journeys riding the subway. If you take a closer look at the mural, you can see that all of the humans in this train car are looking down, on their phones, ignoring the beautiful animals and plants riding this surreal train car with them. It could be Cern telling us all to move our eyes away from the black mirrors in our hands and see the beauty that's around us.
2. Sweet Toof
Sweet Toof (Lfader via Instagram)
Holding two spray cans (one yellow, one pink), rocking a suit and hat combo that is more than likely an homage to fellow UK street artist Nick Walker. Sweet Toof, coming off a great solo show at Pandemic Gallery last month, continues to bless NYC with great murals throughout the city. Out of all of the walls and gates the artist obsessed with dental hygiene has put up, our favorite is this large mural in Brooklyn.
1. Brown Boyz
Brown Boyz (NickrMartin via Instagram)
The best mural of the month comes from a group calling themselves the "Brown Boys." The group consists of NYC street artists Lunar New Year, Mata Ruda, Don Rimx and Ricardo Cabret. The title for this piece "Con Nuestros Propois Esfueroz", comes from an instructional book published by the Cuban government in the early '90s. Translated, it means "With Our Own Efforts;" LNY (in his personal Instagram post of the mural ) says that the title and imagery come from discussions the artists have had about current Latin America and the recent negotiations between the United States and Cuba. LNY goes further, saying that the mural "sources imagery from the Cuban National Seal, portraiture of its citizens and the double edged ideals of isolation, separation, strength and unity."
And that's January, come back next month for the best pieces of February 2015. Until then, don't forget to check out our Street Art Archive, as well as our Top 10 Street Art Pieces and Trucks of 2014.
The author may need some help shoveling snow in order to get his required daily slice of pizza, if you want to help contact him on twitter @ChrisLInoa.
