1/144 A-6E Intruder (Dragon/Italeri)
0viking0 posted a topic in In-Progress PicsOK, this time something different. 1/144 Dragon A-6E with Retro Wings cockpit set and PaulusVictor decals. This kit is a nasty dog. In the box - it looks like 3.6 ...not great, not terrible. Unfortunately it is more terrible than great when you start it. Fit is very bad, and there is a lot of details missing. I tried to add some that are really visible. The most important is small hump behind the canopy... Some small intakes too. There is a lot of sink marks in the plastic, and many missing panel lines that needs to be rescribed. I will try to make decent wing fold. I used Tamiya Epoxy Putty for all these stuff so far. I made FOD covers because the intakes have wrong shape, and I will scratch pilot steps to make things more interesting. For now - I have two coats of primer and some polishing done - but there are still some surface imperfections... There will be more to show soon I hope. This A-6 is TRAM Intruder, but with old type metal wings and late type air brakes - real Frankenstein

1/72 Royal Australian Navy Wessex
Thommo posted a topic in The Display CaseA very enjoyable built. No aftermarkets, scratched a few minor bits inside & out for some more detail and to make some things a better scale , added a pilot. It has the RAN decals added to the kit. Might ultimately mount it flying on a base.
Italeri 1/72 CH-149 Cormorant
Trojan Thunder posted a topic in Canada 150 Group BuildI started this one the other day, but in my haste forgot to take any in progress shots. The build has progressed pretty fast, the kit is nicely engineered though I know it has issues. I will make a few easy corrections but not fix everything. I have modified the main gear struts to twin bogies, the wheels will come from a CH-53 kit's left overs. Not sure if I will attempt to add the forward observation windows. Some shots will be provided shortly.

Scania R730 Team Chimera Italeri 1/24 Part 3
JJ Models posted a topic in Work in ProgressHello friends, we continue to assemble the model, some parts are painted with primer and then painted with chrome. It is my first truck model that I make of the Italeri brand, I have some problems with the assembly of parts. https://youtu.be/Agy-HIo_LmU If you have not seen the previous parts here I leave the link: Part 1: https://youtu.be/gqYZcCjLrag Part 2: https://youtu.be/QnfScLW7fXE Greetings and I hope you like it
I have a Italeri 1/35 Panther A kit that came to me started. It had no barrel or tracks. The barrel has since been replaced by a Dragon plastic barrel, and I MIGHT have a set of Tamiya Panther G individual link tracks somewhere in the stash. This would make a great start to a panzerstellung (fixed emplacement) diorama. I also have a Italeri 1/35 Tiger I Late. It's missing the driver's hatch parts, the photoetch, and the decals. The turret has been started (breech assembled & installed, halves joined, zimmerit panels applied; this is how I got it). I have included Tamiya Commander & Driver figures, a spare Tamiya barrel as Italeri only molded the Early barrel with the larger muzzle brake, and replacement decals for Tiger 312, s.Pz.Abt. 505. I'm looking for equivalent value: 1/48 or 1/32 aircraft: US (WWII-MODERN), German (WWII - COLD WAR), Japanese (WWII), British (Australian WWII), & Soviet (WWII, Korea, Vietnam), kits and/or aftermarket. 1/72 or 1/35 armor: US (WWII-MODERN), German (WWII-MODERN), kits and/or aftermarket. Sci-Fi of various scales: Revell Robotech Defenders kits; Gundam kits and/or aftermarket; Nitto, SF3D/MaschinenKrieger kits; Bandai Cowboy Bebop "Redtail" kit; Babylon 5 kits and or aftermarket; Revell/Fine Molds Star Wars kits and/or aftermarket; Star Trek kits and/or aftermarket; Moebius Battlestar Galactica kits and/or aftermarket.

JJ Models posted a topic in Work in ProgressHello friends, we continue to assemble the model, the steering system has been modified so that the wheels could turn as in reality.

Manx Norton 500cc
Devo posted a topic in Display CaseG'day All,This is my latest completion, Italeri's 1/9 Manx Norton. Not a bad kit TLAR to me when finished and is as close as I'll ever get to owning a real Manx Norton. Brush painted with Humbrol and Tamiya enamels. No apologies for the pic's, they are spot on to my usual crappy standard!Cheers,Devo
1/9 MV Agusta 500/4
Devo posted a topic in Work in ProgressG'day All, I thought I would put up a few pic's of my latest in progress build. Hopefully it's starting to resemble an MV Agusta 500cc 4 cylinder GP bike from the 1960's. It's all OOB and brush painted. I left off the front mudguard as I saw a pic of this bike racing without it, so why not. I just have the fuel tank, seat and fairing to go and it will be finished. Cheers, Devo

Su-27IB - Converting the Italeri Su-34 in 1/72 scale
Flankerman posted a topic in In-Progress PicsAs I am building the latest iteration of the Sukhoi Su-34 - I thought I'd have a go at the earliest version - the T-10V1 Su-27IB. I originally thought of just grafting the original Su-27 tailboom onto the Italeri Su-34 kit - but the biggest problem I faced was filling in the mainwheel wells - they are huge on the Su-34 and cut into the intake sides - the whole area is totally different between the Su-27IB and production Su-34. So I have adopted the method that Sukhoi used - grafting the new side-by-side cockpit section front fuselage onto the rear of a tandem two-seat Su-27UB trainer...... Here's what I mean - the Italeri Su-34 is on the left, the Heller Su-27UB on the right - the blue tape shows where I am making the cuts.... Underside view showing the major difference in the main landing gear wells..... The Italeri Su-34 front end grafted onto the Heller Su-27UB rear end - note the discrepancy in the shape of the spines - fixable with generous applications of Milliput (I hope) Undersides ....... Now all I have to do is graft the Italeri wings onto the Heller fuselage (the Italeri wings are better), fix the intakes (the scallop for the well on the Heller intake is now correct for the Su-27IB - but the intake lower edges are too 'square' and lack the slot in the bottom)....... More later.. Ken
I recently bought this kit and it is missing the canopy and decal sheet. If you have either if these items (or both) please let me know. I'd even take ANY 'F' decals you may have as I have none in the spares. Thank you! Later, Lee

1:48, Hawker Typhoon Quadruple Build
R Spreckley posted a topic in The Display CaseI build models for the exciting project : Hawker Typhoon Preservation Group who are restoring a genuine and what will be the world's only flying Typhoon MKIB. There's been a bit of a rush on lately with customers wanting a quarter scale model of the Typhoon! So I have ended up building four at once! Three mar2ked as the actual airframe 'RB396 although they wanted invasion stripes on her which she never had: therefore there is some artistic licence going on!; and the fourth one is the aircraft that first trialed the use of Napalm bombs in the UK which was flown by David Ince who sadly passed away this year. However the timing is perfect for these four as I have organised in partnership with Romsey Modellers a special Typhoon display at SMW 2017 next week, which is aiming to spread the word about the project, so if your off to SMW please come and see us either at the Typhoon display or at Tangmere Sector Modellers display in the same hall. The kit I used is the Italeri which is quite basic but goes together well and is enhanced by eduard cockpit set. Iv used Mission Models paints for the first time which worked beautifully: Decals are from xtradecal and their RAF number and letter set.

Su-34 - Trumpeter & Italeri 1/72nd kits compared
Flankerman posted a topic in Jet ModelingI have now got both of the existing 1/72 scale kits - the new one from Trumpeter (2017 release) - and the old one from Italeri (released in 1995) - so I thought I'd do a comparison.... these are just my personal opinions BTW..... The Trumpeter kit is typical from them - excellent packaging, crisp moulding and loads of weaponry and very expensive - but also some shape errors. It also represents the latest configuration - whereas the Italeri kit is of a Su-34 from about 20 years ago... Trumpeters excellent box art....... .... and superb packaging. But the nose is way off !!! .... compared to the real thing Italeri got it much better - all those years ago..... Italeri upper fuselage mated to Trumpeter lower.... Italeri lower fuselage mated to Trumpeter upper. Note the strakes on the Trumpeter kit (an addition since Italeri kitted their version). Trumpeter moulded the fuselage and wings as one part...... (but got the wingspan wrong - they measured the span WITHOUT the wingtip launch rails - so it works out at 208mm instead of the correct 204mm - Italeri is nearer at 205mm) Note also the sharp edge to the curved engine nacelles..... Italeri's nacelles are blended in better - much more subtle. Italer got their fins wrong - the early Su-34 prototypes had a taller fin taken from the Su-27UB - it was later replaced with a shorter fin taken from a single-seat Su-27. Trumpeter's fin (on the left) is better. Trumpeter provide the latest tailboom - with a built-in APU - but it is a half-hearted attempt - you have to cut out a recess and fit the intake grille into it. And.... they don't provide the APU exhaust flaps at the top rear of the tailboom.... Trumpeter (top) and Italeri tailbooms - Italeri is too long. More later Ken

After a long week of freezing weather, couch cuddling with a wiggle worm, and way to much paw patrol, my hard working man came home on Saturday with beautiful roses in his hand and said those words I longed to hear " No work tomorrow babe." My heart skipped a few beats, my mind started racing… what are we going to do? Finally a day off, we may only get to a couple of things we wanted to see well over here, so what is at the top of our list? New York? Philadelphia? DC? Niagara Falls? There is so much history within a few hours drive… the problem is what first?
DC it is, I can't wait to see the White House…. little did I know exactly what I was in for! 2 1/2 hour drive ( nothing for us) threw two new beautiful states and there it was Washington! My heart was beating so fast I haven't been this excited for awhile, I look over and I can see the excitement on my loves face, Ella of corse has no idea why we are excited and is just smiling because we are… but this mama will take enough pictures she will have these moments for the rest of her life, weather she remembers or not!
As we pull in to the big city, it looks just like any other big city, only not as much traffic as I expected we could actually get around pretty good in our big truck! We start seeing important building after important building statues and memorials… I couldn't take pictures fast enough, we had to drive around a couple times so I could get enough pictures to satisfy my camera! I started see so many museums then bam there it was… White as can be! They must paint that thing weekly because you almost need sunglasses to look at it! Time to find a place to park this beast… again surprisingly easy, of corse it cost $20 for the day but we weren't to far off from the White House!
As we started our walk we made note of the ton of food trucks lined up, unfortunately we aren't rich and can't afford to eat at big fancy restaurants on every adventure, although I'd love to be a food blogger!
Meanwhile, across from the food….
I learned, the discoloration you see in the picture ( must more noticeable in real life) is where they stopped due to the civil war, they started again once it was over, which left a strange noticeable line… just being near something so old got me excited! As we got closer we noticed something exciting going on in front of the White House, apparently if I watched the new more often I'd know… don't get me wrong we watch more news than normal Americans, in fact the only thing Jim ever wants to watch is news… I guess I just tune it out sometimes because I completely missed this Christmas fun! There was tree decorated for every state, along with a bunch of fun trains going full speed around the trees! Here are just a few trees… I thought about taking a picture of all of them, but if I did you'd still be reading this post next Christmas… it's already going to be long!
So beautifully done! And of corse the White House… which looked just like every picture or video I've ever seen of it!
Ella wasn't having the family selfie… she just wanted to watch the trains! Soooooo, we came we saw, it's been maybe 30 mins… what now? Smithsonian! I of corse was texting the bestie/aka world traveler Christy❤ she told me even though she was young she still remembered the Smithsonian, she started listing Museum after Museum to visit! We started with the Smithsonian Art Museum because it was close! here's a few photos, I don't understand any of the art but it sure was cool looking! Jim had all the very put together art enthusiasts around cracking up when he stated that art is nothing more than a bunch of junk thrown together and every now and then someone gets lucky… not sure they were ready for our redneckness!
We did however enjoy the unicycle hockey being played right outside, and of corse the strange people out in front of the White House! I wish we could have made it a day later and we would have been able to take part in the service for a great American President 😢 One thing I would have really like to see was the Wall, as a child my dad did the run for the Wall motorcycle ride across the state.Being a Vietnam Vet himself, it was important to him, and just as important to me to see, however Ella wasn't able to walk that far and trying to find a parking spot closer was working for us. Next time it will be the first memorial I visit! I didn't expect so many museums and every museums having a theme to it starting with the building… it reminded me of Vegas almost, with all the different casinos and themes… a strange thing to compare our beautiful capital too, but it was what came to mind… I made a decision right then and there I will be back, and stay for at least a week or two when Ella is older and will actually remember. I know if we were able to stay just a couple hours longer I probably would have learned so much more about our great country, but unfortunately it was time to go, but I know I'll be back! On our walk back we stopped in for a philly cheese steak sandwich from a random food truck… so amazing, it really was so tasty, and if you find yourself staring at food truck after food truck I suggest this one!
Have you been to Washington? How long did you stay? What did you learn ? When I do bring Ella back here, what is your suggestion on what we must see??
Thank you for reading about our adventures, I appreciate all your support and love reading your blogs as well!! ♥

Nice people simply do not spit. Common people spit.
"Nice People" is outdated Southernspeak for people from "nice families"; "nice families" is outdated Southernspeak for those whose background passes muster, whose genealogy goes back a long way, which is far more important than money unless your money goes back a long way.
Common people are those who have no upbringing. When they say "nice, white, rice," the "nice" rhymes with "ass," the "white" rhymes with "brat," and the "rice" rhymes with . . ., well, I'm not really sure. It's country-fied.
"Tacky" is Southernspeak for, among other criticisms, nouveau riche people who have no taste. Their "people," who were probably Yankees, might go back one generation at the most. These ancestors probably did spit.
But smart Southern women of a certain age, even those from nice families, have likely resorted to "spittin' grits" at some point in the past. I have.
In 1965 after college, I was driving in La Jolla, California, on some jaunt or other. Even though I had grown up as an Air Force officer's brat and lived all over, I still had my Southern accent and I had never been to California. I was driving the wrong way on a four-lane one-way street at night. How tacky.
Not very far into this stupid maneuver, I saw the flashing lights of a police car that had made a U-turn and was behind me. I have no memory of where I pulled over. It must have been into a service station lot, one where your gas was pumped for you, your oil was check for you, and for dessert your windshield was cleaned for you.
I remember thinking, "You'd better start spittin' grits ASAP." The cop leaned down.
I said, "Good evenin' suh. Ah know what Ah've done hea-uh (here), but Ah've nev-uh been to Califon-yuh."
You add to that verbal sprawl your fluttering eyelashes and a big smile. You morph into a combination of Scarlet O'Hara and a Valley Girl. I didn't get a ticket.
Spirit and Image of Grits
But I damned well wouldn't resort to such trickery now. First, it's against my principles. (Yeh, right, lady.)
Second, the idea of a 65-year-old Southern woman (who is myself) spittin', grits is grotesque. Plus I'm a grandmother from a nice family.
Third, the Southern accent, like so much else distinctively Southern, has become watered down by all the moving around people do these days -- except for grits, which you indeed water down and which is the subject of another post.
"Spittin' grits might not have to be such a crass, unladylike phrase after all. In my 1987 edition of The Facts on File Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins says that "spittin' image" could be a corruption of "spirit and image." This means, of course, that "spittin' grits" is in the spirit and image of Southern niceties. (http://www.accessmylibrary.com/coms2/summary_0286-37073764_ITM).
There. That's solved.
Except For This Part
Fourth, my father used the phrase, not as a Southern nicety but very specifically. When I was 14 and 15, in junior high school at Bellingrath in Montgomery, Alabama, in the mid-1950s, we went to Sock Hops. I am not making this up.
My father, an Air Force officer and pilot of jets, was an imposing Southern gentleman, stationed at Maxwell A.F.B. and an Alabama native. We were not allowed to ride unchaperoned in cars with boys, not even to Sock Hops. That policy put quite a damper on "dating," which was probably the real intention of the policy. Anyway, I had been asked to this Sock Hop by this boy I was nuts over.
Dad said to me, "Young lady, you are not going out with that boy unless his parents are driving, and that's THAT. I am not spittin' grits!"
I knew the dreamboat's parents weren't going to be driving. He and his friends were 16 and already at Lanier High School. I promised dad the parents would be driving. I sneaked, snunck, or whatever the verb tense is.
We had not been at the Hop more than 30 minutes when my 6-foot 3-inch dad marched in, got me by the arm, and marched me out.
He was not one for Spittin' Grits.
NOTE: There will be no post tomorrow. I will be at a reunion.

How to Speak Money : What the Money People Say-And What It Really Means Hardback
by John Lanchester
To those who don't speak it, the language of money can seem impenetrable and its ideas too complex to grasp.
In How to Speak Money, John Lanchester-author of the New York Times best-selling book on the financial crisis, I.O.U.-bridges the gap between the money people and the rest of us.
With characteristic wit and candor, Lanchester reveals how the world of finance really works: from the terms and conditions of your personal checking account to the evasions of bankers appearing in front of Congress.
As Lanchester writes, we need to understand what the money people are talking about so that those who speak the language don't just write the rules for themselves.
Lanchester explains more than 300 words and phrases from "AAA rating" and "amortization" to "yield curve" and "zombie bank." He covers things we say or hear every day-such as GDP, the IMF, credit, debt, equity, and inflation-and explains how hedge funds work, what the World Bank does, and why the language of money has gotten so complicated.
Along the way he draws on everything from John Maynard Keynes to the Wu-Tang Clan, Friedrich Hayek to Thomas Piketty, The Wealth of Nations to Game of Thrones.
A primer, a polemic, and a reference book, How to Speak Money makes economics understandable to anyone.
After all, "money," as Lanchester writes, "is a lot like babies, and once you know the language, the rule is the same as that put forward by Dr. Spock: `Trust yourself. You know more than you think you do.'"

It's Sunday. I am on my computer in a moment of creative idleness. I have a back problem and the Pilates instructor recommended that I work lying down as much as possible. All my working and thinking I do lying down. The weather is rainy. I am busy writing projects and sending CVs across the world for new opportunities. It seems like work, but I am actually enjoying this process and feeling very creative. This post is a musing on how we use our time, what creativity means today, and hammocks.
A consumption-free minimal living seems to be a lifestyle response to the information overload we all experience and how to avoid being seduced by the info-machine. This comes down to the issue of being able to control your own time.
This obsession for a productive lifestyle and to be in control of one's time and productivity is a shift from the corporate definition of time and productivity towards a personal definition of productivity. This may vary from culture to culture. I certainly understand this philosophy in a US context where work sucks you dry and leaves your personal life as the last priority, thus causing a friction between work ethics and life ethics. This is also true of cultures where work productivity is the essential paradigm of success and places money as the major reward and condition of achievement, if not a personal and social obligation. I see this quite sharply in Singaporean society as well.
Down Time
When given the free time, how is it best used? In many contemporary cultures, time not spent working is seen as an unproductive waste and fosters a sense of guilt and the feeling that leisure and relaxation is an escape.
In the techno-front, some applications putting limitations on how often you can access the web (I forgot the name), lest you use your time for other stuff.
In Brazil, where I come from, it is the opposite: idle time and down time are equally if not more valued than work time, and our true creativity comes from this idea of what makes a good life. Extreme workaholics are deemed to have deficient personal lives or are socially clumsy, something which goes against the basic Brazilian characteristics of conviviality – to take it easy and not take yourself so seriously that you can't have a good laugh, relax, enjoy nature, enjoy other people and take pleasure in the simple things in life. It is in the moments when we are at rest, slowly watching life, whitsling a tune, napping forgetfully or being around people that our creativity comes to full bloom. Of course, I am talking about productive idleness, not escapist hedonism. In Brazil, beauty and conviviality are not escapes, they are the glue that binds people together. (And yes, I am aware that the cult of beauty in the extreme can revert into extreme plastic surgery make-overs and that extreme conviviality and passion can turn into a lot of heated arguments that revert into violence – so I am not idealizing the Brazilian thing here.)
In Sweden, the other place where I come from, has a strong Protestant work ethic, yet down time spent outside with nature and the prized 6 weeks off in the summer, as well as one-year maternity leaves. These are indicators of a society that sees non-career oriented time spent in outdoorsy solitude or raising a family as a factor that yields more secure and nurtured individuals. Work is essential, but so is life. Naturally, this varies from person to person. But the truth is, no one likes to feel enslaved by work and have someone else decide how you should spend your time or determine what your priorities are.

Now consistently one of the great wines of the appellation, d'Issan has produced a dense purple-colored wine with a beautiful set of aromatics offering a smorgasbord of aromas such as perfumed flowers, incense, graphite, licorice, blueberry, and black currant. The wine is seamlessly constructed, like a fine dress from a haute couture house. With fabulous concentration of fruit, the ethereal elegance and sublime character of this wine make it seem to almost float across the palate with substantial flavor penetration and laser-like focus. This is a gorgeous example of 2006 that can be drunk in 3-4 years or cellared for over two decades. Good value. (RP)
This shows a perfumed and sweet tobacco character on the nose that is very enticing with a shiitake mushroom undertone. Full body, firm tannins and a savory, chocolate, meat and spice character. Has the firmness of the 2006s. Drink or hold.
Very dark. Light black cherry aromas and very flattering indeed. Juicy and actually rather swallowable and well balanced.
Moderately saturated ruby-red. Blackberry, bitter chocolate, violet, menthol and licorice on the nose, plus a whiff of musky game. Suave and fine-grained, with a light touch to its rather wild flavors of black fruits, licorice and violet. Finishes with easygoing tannins that turned a bit dusty with air and subtle lingering perfume.
Aromas of blackberry jam and dried flowers lead to a full body, with round, velvety tannins and a medium finish. Needs just a touch more richness to be outstanding. A nicely crafted wine for the vintage. Best after 2012.
Deep, dark color. Earthy aromas with nice blackberry aromas. Good length. Elegant. Fine finish. Nice structure. A "sleeper of vintage"? *+ Ralph Sands: "Good deep ripe wine in the classic style. Touch rustic, but the fruit carries on throughout the entire wine."

Political Thought of Judith Butler
Sůsa, Jan
Hauser, Michael
(advisor) ;
Fulka, Josef
(referee) ;
Kobová, Lubica
My thesis is focused on critical analysis of political thought of American philosopher Judith Butler. Butler is concerned with the relationship between individual identity and collective subjectivity, and her works - which caused many critical reactions - represent one of the most interesting discussion in the field of feminist political philosophy. Butler is mainly concerned with the question, how various political strategies (eg. feminism) could be based on common interests of various agents, and not on their supposedly stable identity (eg. sex and gender). Her criticism of unproblematized "natural" identities is important not only to the constitution of any individual identity, but also for the notion of the political dimension of a collective subject. The introductory chapters of my thesis are concerned with early thought of Butler, mainly with her critical relationship to the "second wave" feminism, and with her notion of the performative constitution of gender identity. Next chapters explore the shift in her thinking from analysis of gender and sex towards more general themes of political thought: nation, race, class, universalism, state censorship, possibility of resistance or emergence of a collective subject without stable unifying principle. I also try to analyze selected critical...

I spent much of this weekend feeling a little under the weather (I think I caught something from a bottle of gin on Friday night). Regardless, the time Miss Pop Rocks spent sprawled on the couch allowed for much consumption of two reality television shows about families. And of course, I must share my thoughts with my dear readers.
First up is Run's House on MTV, featuring the glorious Rev. Run of RUN-D.M.C. fame. Now, I remember when RUN-D.M.C. first made headlines "back in the day" (as we say on the streets), and the truth is that Run is not even old enough to be my father. Yet as I watched the show marathon that was on Saturday afternoon, I ended up secretly dreaming of packing my bags and driving up to Jersey to ask him and Justine to take me in.
The Rev. Run family is so damn cute, likable and achingly normal – a rarity in a reality television world that has completely lost its mind. True, their Saddle River home is worth more than Miss Pop Rocks will make in her lifetime, but you still get the vibe from the whole crew that they aren't overly impressed by fancy material goods. They genuinely love each other, have hilarious comic timing, and more importantly, the Rev. and Justine keep those kids in line. You just can't help but love them.

Click the remote and you'll end up in frighteningly different territory: E! Entertainment Television's Keeping Up With The Kardashians, or, as I refer to it, Keeping Up With Some Filthy Whores and A Scary-Looking Bruce Jenner. (Seriously, what the F has happened to Bruce Jenner? His face looks like it was stretched out over a cookie sheet.)
First up, Kris Jenner, the "mother" of the clan, has got to be one of the most frightening stage parents I've ever seen in my life. She has no problem encouraging her daughter Kim – whose sole claim to fame is a sex tape – to pose nude for Playboy. (She then takes part in a nude photo shoot of her own…icky, icky.) Of course, I don't know why this behavior should shock me. After all, here is a woman who named her daughters Kim, Khloe, Kourtney, Kendall and Kylie. (Do you think they were each given their own pair of little baby stripper shoes at birth?)
The daughters all appear be channeling Paris Hilton (even the youngest, who had fun on a stripper pole at her parents' anniversary party), and Bruce Jenner does little more than walk around the house with his huge, cookie sheet head, sighing and getting angry. (Remember the `76 Olympics, Bruce? Yeah, me neither.)
Anyway, I don't have some big revelation to give you over these two shows. Only that one family is very good and funny and worthy of being on television. And one is very terrible and scary and not worthy of being on television. And you can bet your sweet ass that I'm not going to miss an episode of either series. – Jennifer Mathieu

Grant Spotlight: Guest Speaker Chris Hanusa
In February, math professor and mathematical artist Chris Hanusa visited MLWGS, where he worked with students in the Math & Art Seminar, Discrete Math classes, and the Multivariable Calculus class, where he held a Mathematica & 3D Printing workshop. He also gave a presentation entitled "Using Random Numbers to Create Art" to more than 30 students in the Forum after school. Professor Hanusa's work at the intersection of two disciplines allows him to program computers to generate 2D and 3D art using random numbers. MLWGS math teacher Lynn Reed coordinated Professor Hanusa's visit. The Foundation covered Professor Hanusa's travel costs, as he came down to Richmond from his home in New York. Mu Alpha Theta paid his $200 honorarium out of funds they raise through Pi Day pie sales. Help us keep offering unique educational experiences like these by donating to the 2017-18 Annual Fund.

AS SEEN IN Pond Boss Magazine, September/October 2016: Written by Industry Expert, David Beasley, Fisheries Biologist & Director of Fisheries
The thrill of catching a trophy fish is an incredible feeling that sticks in the memory bank for a lifetime. For an avid angler, the simple opportunity to go fishing on a trophy caliber fishery is enough to cause an adrenaline rush. Unfortunately, for most anglers, these experiences are few and far between, and most trophy fish caught are attributed to an act of chance over anything else. One private pond at a time, the opportunity for anglers to routinely catch trophy fish is slowly improving across this great country, thanks to the progression of the private pond management industry.
One waterbody in particular, located in West Virginia, has been methodically transitioning from a predator heavy, out of balance fishery, into one that has a great chance of exceeding all expectations. As you may recall from an article in the May/June 2014 issue of Pond Boss, this property was just going through a transition of combining four ponds into one larger waterbody, and resetting all of them to start a fishery with a predator population that does not reproduce. Combining tiger muskies, hybrid striped bass, and female largemouth Bass, this waterbody had its sights on a bright future.
When starting the project in 2013, an initial electrofishing study indicated 78% of the existing bass population was between nine and twelve inches in length. Additionally, adult black crappie was abundant, and the forage base was comprised of only adult bluegill.
The large quantity of adult bluegill made it appear the forage base had a great deal of promise, but with big expectations for a high quality fishery in the future, the $8,000 value of the adult bluegill on site did not provide enough value to outweigh the negative affect the stunted bass and black crappie populations would have on the future fishery. The problem? Trying to create a food chain for a crowded predator population, and then expecting those predators to grow to large sizes. It doesn't work that way.
In the summer of 2013, the ponds were drained, beneficial fish were salvaged for a fish fry, and rotenone was applied to ensure no fish were living in the ponds prior to letting them refill with fresh mountain stream water. That summer, many improvements were made, including the addition of artificial underwater reefs in open water, the installation of an aeration system on the largest of the four ponds, and installation of six fish feeders. In addition, the four existing ponds were mucked out, and a couple hundred tons of pulverized limestone and limestone gravel were placed throughout the waterbodies to improve water quality and serve as spawning substrate.
In the process of mucking out and combining all the ponds in 2014 to form one 15-acre waterbody, several of the smaller ponds that previously leaked continued to remain problematic, even when being repaired by a professional third party construction company. Rather than letting the leaky ponds delay the fall stocking schedule, a main pond of 7.5 acres was isolated from the problematic ponds until the leaky pond issue could be resolved.
That fall, once the 7.5-acre pond was full of water, bluegill were stocked at a rate of 1,000 per acre, redear were stocked at a rate of 125 fish per acre, fathead minnows were stocked at 100 pounds per acre, and golden shiners were stocked at 20 pounds per acre. We purposely overstocked the minnows to jump-start the food chain—landowner's choice.
Now, three years later, the ponds are still isolated from one another, and the primary pond is the focus of attention for the time being. Its forage base includes fathead minnows, golden shiners, bluegill, redear sunfish, yellow perch, and gizzard shad. Gizzard shad, shiners, and bluegill make up the majority of the baitfish biomass. Gizzard shad, which were stocked at a rate of 40 pounds of six-inch fish in the spring of 2015, currently have three size classes including 12-inch brood fish, along with two smaller year classes of last year's offspring, which are now seven inches long, and this year's offspring, which are two inches long.
Golden shiners have two size classes present, and their biomass within the pond is significant. Of all the forage fish, golden shiners have the biggest advantage at the moment based on their sheer biomass. Much of this is thanks to the fish feeders, quality fish food, and the 18-month delay before any significant predators were added to the system.
The pond's bluegill have also done noticeably well thanks to the fish feeders. Stocked in the fall of 2013 at one and a half inches in size, these initial fish are now between eight and nine inches in length, and have an average relative weight of 117. Following the initial stocking of bluegill, their population has responded favorably, and has a well-structured population ranging in size from one inch up to nine inches.

Dancing Queen
Julia had her dance recital last weekend. It was a fairly big production with a dress rehearsal on Friday night and performances on Saturday and Sunday afternoon. Chris took Julia to the Saturday show while Emma and I went to my niece Elizabeth's communion party. For Sunday, Julia had a whole fan club in the audience including me and Emma and both sets of grandparents! What a lucky little girl!
The show was great! The children are really talented and Miss Amanda and Miss Morgan did a wonderful job preparing the dancers and choreographing the songs. It was a two part show with a brief intermission. Julia performed her jazz dance in slot #6 and her ballet dance in slot #25. I know I am biased but I will still say that I think Julia's class gave some of the best performances. They were mostly dancing as a group and remembered their moves - better than expected for 5 year olds!
There was a group of darling little 2ish year olds that was just beyond adorable. Those little girls in their tutus were just precious even thought they didn't even come close to following the dance routine. I think everyone was smiling after their performance.
Julia's group performed to The Boys are Back (in town) for their jazz routine.
They performed to You'll Be in Your Heart for ballet.
Group curtain call.
There was a group curtain call followed by a presentation of trophy's to each student. Julia is over the moon with her trophy! It's her first one and she didn't let it out of her hands for the first couple of days. We took some photos after the recital and headed home for a good meal with everyone. Chris even had the table set and ready for us despite having run a full marathon that morning and not really being able to move too quickly.
We will miss the Elkton Parks and Rec dance classes next year. We won't be moving close enough to keep attending and so we are now considering Irish Step Dancing for next year. Julia's not sold on the idea yet but there is plenty of time between now and the Fall to decide. I'm also going to try and look into a dance class for Emma. The lovely Chloe did a dance program (click here to read about it) this year that had the children with disabilities dance with a partner's help. I'm hoping that we can find a similar program around here for Emma because she just loves to dance and loves and audience so a dance routine on stage seems like a great fit for her. If anyone knows of one in the greater Philadelphia area, please let me know!
I'll leave this with some more photos of the dancers. How blessed we are!

It was a fine sunny day in Seattle when I've decided to explore Pike Place Market since there is always something interesting to see. I am a big fan of the market and you might see me walking around the maze at least once a week, taking shots and buying local goods. One of my favorite stalls in the market is the Moon Valley Organics – they produce organic body care products using only sustainable and real ingredients. But if you look past their amazing body butters you will find that they also sell one of the best honeys I have ever tried. Personally, I am not a big fan of honeys. My Filipino blood loves to use granulated sugar for achieving sweetness but when I have tried their samples I was blown away.
Oh and I also made this wake-up kebabs that I saw from this recipe book I bought last week. It has under 100 calories per kebab and they are perfect for a healthy side of breakfast. The recipe calls for apples and a watermelon but I only have bananas and strawberries so that's what I used for this recipe. You can use any fruit you love just make sure you can thread them on a stick.
Fresh fruits ( strawberry, apple, bananas, watermelon ) washed and sliced into bite-sized chunks
1 tbsp orange or lemon juice
2 tsp honey
1. Preheat the broiler to high and line the broiler rack with foil. Brush the fruits with the orange or lemon juice.
2. Thread the fruits onto kebab sticks or presoaked wooden skewers and place on broiler racks.
3. Drizzle with the honey then broil for 5 to 6 minutes, turning them over halfway through cooking. Serve while warm.

After walking around University Village in Seattle, my husband took me to Boom Noodle to satisfy the hungry monster in my stomach. He ordered okonomiyaki and ramen for us to share. I remembered asking him what okonomiyaki was, and he said that it is like a pancake, a Japanese savory pancake. As the server brought our orders, I looked down and saw a round pancake topped with mayonnaise, green onions, pickled ginger and bonito flakes. I took a bite and have been craving for it days later.

Happy Mother's day to all moms out there, especially to my mom! I sent her some of my biscottis that I put in a mug I bought from Anthropologie, and ordered a dozen of roses to be delivered at her house. Scroll down to my previous posts if you want the recipe for these crunchy almond biscottis.
Yes, that's me and my mom! I love this photo of us so much.

I absolutely love this recipe. It is perfect for the summer and goes well with fish dinners or just by itself. I bought a box of mangoes from seafood city (because I love mangoes!) and I used about 2 mangoes sliced in cubes. This recipe calls for sugar, but I used splenda instead and it still tasted awesome. This slaw is tangy and refreshing which is perfect for me!
4 cups shredded cabbage
1/2 cup chopped red onion
2 fresh mangoes
1/2 cup sesame sticks or walnut pieces
1/4 cup splenda
3/4 cup rice vinegar
In a bowl combine cabbage, onion, mango and sesame sticks or walnuts. In a cup, dissolve splenda in vinegar. Add to cabbage, and toss. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Biscotti is one of my go-to breakfast when I am in a hurry and don't have time to make one. It is super easy to make ahead of time and they can last forever! (okay, maybe 4-6 weeks) And this is perfect for me because I'm one of those people who doesn't have an appetite for breakfast. I got this recipe from here but I used almond extract instead of Amaretto since I don't have one. I also used raw chopped almonds from trader joe's.
Preheat oven to 350 F. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine dry ingredients and set aside. Whisk eggs, amaretto (if using, or almond extract), vanilla, and anise extracts until well blended. Add dry ingredients and mix until combined.
Dough should be thick and sticky at this point – do not worry, and DO NOT add more flour. Scrape the dough out onto a parchment lined sheet pan and shape into a long flat loaf about 10 inches long and 5 inches wide. Flour your hands since the dough is sticky.
Bake until firm and dry, about 20 minutes to half hour. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
Use a long serrated knife and slice into 1/2 inch wide slices. Lay the slices cute side down on the baking sheet and bake for another 10-15 minutes. Turn the slices over and bake for another 10-15 minutes, or until the cookies are light golden brown. Cool biscotti on a rack; cool completely before storing.
You may choose to dip the end of the biscotti in melted chocolate. I used Theo chocolate's hazelnut crunch and loved the combination of sweet chocolate hazelnuts and almonds.

Over several decades, societal shifts have dramatically impacted masculinity. One school of thought, hypomasculinity, views men as dominant, controlling, and abusive. Their approach to reforming men is pedagogy. Hypermasculinity—another school of thought—considers culture as domesticating men. Often, they see reform occurring through men's support groups.
There is an intentional design to domesticate men, making them softer and more manageable. Obviously, there is nothing immoral about desiring the transformation of man. The issue is not the desire but the methodology supporting it. So, how is change to be successfully implemented?
Some churches are offering men support groups. Such groups provide recovery from the common addictions for men: pornography, anger, and chemical dependency. Being relevant issues, these groups are scratching where men itch. Nevertheless, these problems constitute the fruit and not the root of the problem. Again, the approach is pedagogical.
So, how are men to achieve emotional and spiritual health? The assertion of this study is that the active participation of transparency by men, in support groups for men, encourages them to have healthy relationships with God and others. In chapter one, the challenge and scope of the male problem is considered. Chapter two reflects on mankind created in God's image; the effects of sin on the image of God; and God's image restored. Chapter Three is a historical review of the New Testament model of spiritual community; its disappearance; and, then, reemergence. Chapter Four examines the effects of domestication, the false self, the false identity, and the father wound on men. What are the approaches that help and hinder them? Chapter Five proposes that support groups can lead men to finding the true self and discovering spiritual community. Chapter six offers suggestions to the Church for reaching men; and, then, developing the emotional and spiritual health of men.

Everyone knows that family physicians provide comprehensive health care to new moms and their babies, but those well-baby visits present a challenge because there is so much to cover in a 15-minute appointment.
And so too often, discussions about nutrition for both mother and infant miss out on the attention they deserve.
New research titled "Exploring Family Medicine Providers' Perspectives on Group Care Visits for Maternal and Infant Nutrition Education,"(www.jneb.org) published in the April issue of the Journal of Nutrition Education and Behavior, looks at group visits as a way to provide this vital information to women.
Corresponding author Alexandra MacMillan Uribe, Ph.D., R.D., a postdoctoral associate in the Department of Nutritional Sciences at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, conducted face-to-face interviews with 18 family physicians from April through July 2016 and utilized 17 of those transcripts for this study.
Story Highlights
- New research shows that family physicians support utilizing group visits to provide postpartum mothers with nutrition education for themselves and their baby.
- Physicians interviewed for the study said time constraints and lack of nutrition education inhibited their ability to provide this information to patients.
- Family physicians discussed the benefits and barriers to implementing maternal group visits in their clinics.
Physician interviews were guided by three basic research questions:
- What are family physicians currently doing to educate new mothers about maternal nutrition and infant feeding?
- If nutrition education were provided to mother-infant dyads, how could it best be delivered in a family medicine clinic?
- How do family physicians perceive using a group care model to deliver nutritional education to this group of patients?
MacMillan Uribe told AAFP News it is an important topic for family physicians to consider.
"Group care is an opportunity for family physicians to provide comprehensive education on preventive topics for both mothers and infants, including nutrition, which is often intertwined during the first year postpartum," she said.
"We see from previous research that taking an active role in one's own care is associated with better health outcomes, and mothers with infants are able to do that through the group-care model. From the interviews, I found that physicians didn't have enough time to discuss topics in-depth, so this would provide an opportunity to do so."
Study Background
Authors noted in their introduction that in most primary care clinics, new mothers typically are allotted just one visit to cover postpartum care, and even though well-baby visits occur frequently during that first year of life -- some seven visits -- physicians devote an average of 42 seconds to infant feeding at those visits.
Group visits are much longer -- 90 to 120 minutes -- and therefore provide ample opportunity for nutrition education. Researchers viewed family medicine clinics as the optimal venue to explore this option because both mom and baby likely are patients.
"Nutrition education helps mothers make better dietary choices and teaches desirable infant feeding practices, ameliorating maternal and infant obesity risk," said the authors.
Nearly all family physicians interviewed said they provided very little maternal nutrition education during the postpartum visit due to time constraints.
One family physician said, "There's always a time limitation in any visit. In an infant well-baby visit, you're talking about development. Feeding is a huge part … but you're also talking about postpartum depression, adjusting to having a baby, safe sleep -- there's a lot of competing stuff."
Several FPs also noted their lack of training on nutrition counseling. "The nutritional education we get as med students and residents is pretty poor," said one participant.
In short, wrote the authors, "Insufficient time, too many topics to cover and lack of training led to a reactive approach." All participants agreed that nutrition education might be better delivered via group visits, home health visits, or add-on visits with a dietician or lactation consultant.
Among those choices, group care visits were favored by most participants as the best option and a model many FPs already had experience with among other patient groups.
Benefits, Concerns
Physicians cited peer-to-peer social support as an advantage to group visits and many expected that new mothers would enjoy learning from one another and sharing similar experiences.
Other benefits of a group visit that physicians noted include the ability to
- utilize expertise from dieticians and lactation consultants,
- improve the effectiveness of primary care visits,
- instill a cost-effective approach to delivering primary care,
- enhance access to services,
- increase patient engagement,
- facilitate challenging conversations, and
- attract additional patients to the clinic.
Family physicians also pointed out possible barriers to implementing the model in their clinics. For instance, they discussed
- recruitment and retention of patients;
- logistics of starting and sustaining a group visit program;
- using curricula that would be inclusive of all patient groups, such as those with language barriers and those with nontraditional families; and
- addressing patient challenges, such as transportation, child care and extended appointments.
Some physicians worried that group visits might negatively affect the physician-patient relationship by separating mothers from their physician.
One family physician from a small rural clinic said just gathering enough new moms together to create a group would be an issue. "I think group classes would be great, but the problem is, we don't have enough volume at one time," he said.
Physicians also proposed solutions to possible barriers. For instance, they said clinics could
- provide incentives for women to pique their interest in the concept,
- allow time for private discussions with the primary care physician in addition to group visits for patients worried about sharing in a group setting,
- perform a community-needs assessment and secure buy-in from the administration or insurance payers before implementation,
- collaborate with neighboring clinics to ensure adequate volume, and
- alternate group visits with one-on-one visits to maintain the physician-patient relationship.
In addition, physicians suggested patients should self-select to participate in group visits and have the option to return to regular visits.
"Implementing a group care program that addresses the issues raised by participants -- and evaluating the effectiveness of group care in providing nutrition education to mothers with infants -- are important next steps," wrote the authors.
Additional Author Comment
Researcher MacMillan Uribe provided the following additional insights.
Q. Did the physician interviews result in any unexpected findings?
A. I was surprised by how often group care came up before physicians were even prompted to discuss this approach. I think it reflects how popular this model is becoming within primary care. Another thing that struck me was that physicians were very open to having other professionals/experts provide nutrition education.
Q. What did you find most compelling about these physician interviews?
A. Despite the challenges of instituting a group-care model -- especially the logistics and planning involved -- physicians were still enthusiastic about this approach. They were quite excited when I presented the model in the last segment of the interviews, and they were open to trying a new approach to educating their patients on preventive topics.
Q. What's a key takeaway for family physicians?
A. Given the excitement for the group-care model, if physicians are interested in instituting group care in their own practices, they may be met with a lot of support and enthusiasm from other physicians. It's important for physicians to consider the challenges and solutions that surfaced during the interviews.

Officials of the National Drug Law Enforcement Agency (NDLEA) at the departure hall of the Murtala Muhammed International Airport (MMIA), Lagos, have apprehended a suspected drug trafficker.
Forty-year-old Amobi Okoye, who lives in Ancona, Italy, was arrested while trying to board an Alitalia flight. He was found to have swallowed 63 wraps of substances that tested positive for cocaine. The substance weighed 1.030kg, the officials said.
The suspect, who said he was in Nigeria to search for a wife, said he smuggled the drug because he was broke.
NDLEA Airport Commander, Mr Hamza Umar, said: "A 40-year-old Nigerian living in Italy, Amobi Okoye, was arrested for trafficking in cocaine. The suspect was nabbed with the assistance of the scanning machine. While under observation, he excreted a total of 63 wraps of powdery substances weighing 1.030kg that tested positive for cocaine. He is currently under investigation."
The Enugu State-born suspect, who has been living in Italy since 2009, said: "My involvement in cocaine trafficking was an after-thought. The reason I came to Nigeria in December, 2013 was to search for a wife. In the process, I spent all the money on me. While searching for money to buy my ticket back to Italy, I was introduced to drug trafficking. They promised to pay me 4,000 dollars in addition to all travel expenses. It was a difficult decision for me, but it was my last hope."
Chairman/Chief Executive of the NDLEA, Ahmadu Giade urged the public to avoid drug trafficking and support the anti-drug campaign.
