ful wings, had apart from its teethed jaws all the appearance of a bird of our own time.[1] And, finally, the discovery of a large ostrich-like bird (Dasornis Londinensis) in the Lower Eocene of the isle of Sheppey, and of another, also big and flightless bird (Gastornis), in the Eocene of Meudon, Rheims, and Croydon, established a further connection between the bird-like lizards of the Triassic times and real specialized birds.
These last discoveries brought the series very near to our own times, and they were the more valuable as the just-mentioned Gastornis proved to combine some of the characters of both flying birds and of those which, like the ostrich, the cassowary, and the emu, do not fly; while the Pliocene deposits of north India and the numberless remains of the so-called moas of New Zealand yielded specimens of still nearer ancestors of our flightless birds. The New Zealand deposits of bones became known more than fifty years ago, when Owen, on receiving (in 1839) a broken but characteristic moa bone, determined the general characters of the great ostrich-like Dinornis, which inhabited the island quite recently, but is found no more in a living state. But it is especially of late that the enormous accumulations of moa remains have been explored in detail. Cart-loads of those bones have already been shipped to Europe, and new accumulations continue to be found—always with the same astonishing numbers of individuals entombed on the same spot, and in the same excellent state of preservation. Such a deposit—one of the most remarkable of its kind—has been lately discovered by Prof. H. O. Forbes, near Oamaru, in the South Island of New Zealand. In a small hollow which did not exceed twelve yards in width, no less than eight hundred to nine hundred individuals were imbedded in solid peat, under a superficial layer of a few inches of soil. Many skeletons lay quite undisturbed, and in some instances the contents of the stomach, which consisted of triturated grass and small rounded and smooth quartz pebbles, were found lying in their natural position, under the sternum. The bones of a giant buzzard, a big extinct goose, the Cape Barron goose, the kiwi, and so on, were mixed together with bones and full skeletons of several species of Dinornis, big and small.[2] And again, as on previous occasions, the New Zealand scientists are at a loss to explain the accumulation of so many various birds on such a narrow space. However, the most interesting part of Prof. Forbes's dis-

Alexa Meade
Alexa Meade is an American artist best known for inventing a new approach to portraiture. She applies paint directly to models and the surrounding scene, creating the illusion that real-life people and places are inside the world of a 2D painting.
Her artwork has been exhibited at The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery in Washington DC, The Saatchi Gallery in London, the Grand Palais in Paris, and the United Nations building in New York City. She has been commissioned by MINI Cooper, Ralph Lauren, Sony, and Porsche. Alexa Meade has collaborated with world-renowned magician David Blaine and space-time researchers at the Perimeter Institute for Theoretical Physics. Her TED Talk "Your Body is my Canvas," has been viewed millions of times.
The critically-acclaimed short film "Color of Reality" brings together Alexa Meade's painting style with the movement artistry of Jon Boogz and Lil Buck to tell a story about gun violence and racial tensions in American society. It was part of the National Civil Rights Museum "Freedom Awards Ceremony," screened at the Lincoln Center, and honored by CNN Great Big Story's "Art as Impact Award."
For fun, Alexa Meade and her boyfriend Chris Hughes are turning their Los Angeles apartment into an optical illusion wonderland dubbed the "Funhouse House," replete with the planet's tiniest disco in the breakfast nook and a spaceship in the bedroom closet. They have one cat and he is named "The Kids."

Free Printer: How to Avoid Getting Ripped-Off on Refills
Ever notice how manufacturers practically give away -- or literally give away -- certain products like printers and razors, so that they can hook us on some overpriced way to keep the "free" product operating?
Costco gives you a free color printer practically every time you buy a computer, for instance. But you have to re-mortgage the house to pay for ink. You get a free "Fusion ProGlide" razor when you buy a four-pack of shaving gel -- but fresh blades cost a small fortune. Electric toothbrushes aren't free, but new brush "heads" can overwhelm the cost of the whole toothbrush set up in less than a year.
The good news? There are an increasing number of ways to work around the rip-off prices for ink, razors and even replacement heads for your electric toothbrush. You just need to know what to do and where to shop.
Printer ink: 3 Ways to Save
Jeff Bertolucci, a contributing writer for PC World magazine, is the go-to guy if you want to know how to refill those costly inkjet cartridges without breaking the bank. He's spent months running through pounds of printer ink, experimenting with bargain sites and refilling his own printer cartridges. His advice falls into three categories:
Do it Yourself: If you refill your own printer cartridges, you can get the cost of ink down to about 2 cents a page, he says. And the quality of DIY refilled-ink isn't half-bad -- even when you're printing photos. The downside? It's messy. You basically use a syringe to extract ink from bottles purchased online and inject it into your cartridge. It takes some practice not to end up wearing more of the ink than you refill. And if you ruin your Tommy Bahama shirt while saving a few bucks on ink...well, we all know that's no bargain.
Commercial options: Don't want to suit up in hazmat gear to protect your clothes from an ink spill? Office Depot and Cartridge World offer remanufactured cartridges, but Bertolucci doesn't recommend them. He says they're only marginally cheaper and not as good.
But he does recommend Costco's printer refill service, which is a poorly advertised option operating out of Costco warehouse photo departments. You drop off your cartridges and they'll refill them while you troll for a lunch (uhmmmm, samples), he says. The cost: $8 to $10 per cartridge, which is about one-third of the price of buying new -- and about half the price of remanufactured cartridges. It's not quite as cheap as refilling your own, but there's no mess or learning curve.
One trick you should know: You should refill the cartridges promptly when they run low of ink. That ensures that they don't dry out and gum up the print heads. Each cartridge usually can be refilled 5 to 10 times. After that, you'll need to spring for a new one.
Conserve: Another way to save on ink? Use less. Instead of printing with the standard quality settings, set your printer to "draft" or "fast draft" mode, which uses less ink per page. You wouldn't want to do this with photos or a color resume that you've designed to impress. But if you're printing out a recipe, letter or boarding pass -- anything that doesn't require photo quality -- the difference is insignificant but can significantly increase the number of pages you can print with each cartridge. To set the printer quality, go into "settings" or "preferences."
Did you get Gillette's free "Fusion ProGlide" razor with your shaving gel, but have an attack when you realized that Costco's bargain 14-pack of razor-head refills costs a whopping $44.99? It's a nice razor, but paying $3.21 every time you need a new blade is tough to justify when you realize that you can buy 52 disposable "custom plus" razors for $22.99 -- 44 cents each. For the math challenged, that's less than one-seventh the price of the blade refills.
But you really like a five-blade razor? Amazon.com's $24.50 8-pack ProGlide refill is a slightly better deal -- about $3.06 per blade -- but only if you qualify for free shipping.
Another alternative? M5 Magnum offers a 5-blade disposable razor that costs a fraction as much as the ProGlide -- about $15 for the 18-pack at Costco, which works out to 83 cents a razor. Is it as good? I tested both and didn't see much difference. The Magnum isn't quite as heavy, but it appears to shave just as comfortably and close. Okay. It's black and orange, which wouldn't be my favored color pallet. But for a third the price, seems like the better bargain.
Electric toothbrushes
They're certainly not free, but with the Philips Sonicare "Essence" electric toothbrush 2-pack -- replete with three brush heads, two charger bases and two travel cases -- going for $89.99 at Costco, you've got to figure that each toothbrush costs less than $35.
The catch, of course, is that you're not supposed to use a toothbrush head for more than three months. And the "recommended" 6-pack of refill heads costs $57.99. Yep. That would be nearly $10 a toothbrush top. The brush heads double the price of your toothbrush investment in less than a year.
How do you save here? The first question, of course, is do you really need an electric toothbrush? If you don't have gingivitis or some other serious oral health issue, the standard 8-pack of toothbrushes costs $13.99 -- $1.75 each. You can get a battery-powered toothbrush for about $3.50.
If you do, you should know that Amazon has a "subscribe and save" service that can help cut the cost of anything you buy on a regular interval and offers free shipping, which can bring down the cost of toothbrush heads, sometimes to a price that's even less costly than Costco.
But when you're buying the toothbrush, the hot tip is to shop backwards. Instead of looking at the price of the unit, check the price of the refills first.
Checking the Oral B website, for example, you can see that their least-costly brush-heads, which run $4.25 if you buy the biggest package, work with the the Advance Power, Triumph and Professional Care tooth brushes. If you get the Sonic Complete toothbrush, you'll spend nearly $13 a brush head. Pulsonic and Cross Action brush heads ran $7.49 and $8.32 respectively.
If you're going to keep the unit for more than a few years, the brush heads are the real expense. Try to make sure you're buying the brush that is compatible with the less-expensive tops.

That's really sad People these days suck.

That sucks so much, but i guess it has a lot to do with the area. Northern Suburbs are the worst getting cars stolen. I nearly had mine stolen but luckily a family member came out in time. Hopefully you find it back in one piece.

Why Montessori?
The Montessori method is about helping our children develop a love for learning and skills for life. We want them to learn how to learn, not just how to remember facts and figures.
A Love FOR Learning
Our children have more access to information than any other generation before them. All they need to be successful is to learn how to learn. We don't focus on rote learning, instead, we focus on cognitive and social development. We help guide children in discovering their own love for learning through exploring curiosities and interests.
Building skills in teamwork, leadership, self-confidence and relationship development is huge part of what we do. Children benefit from multi-age interactions helping them learn more and develop new skills. Team-work and collaboration is encouraged to help children learn from each other. Learning, respect and relationships build the child's confidence.
Children are encouraged to explore things that interest them and focus their time accordingly. These time management skills form healthy habits that stay with the child and prepare them for formal schooling as well as benefiting them throughout the rest of their life.

Punjabi Skinhead/
CN: Discussion on neo-nazis, skinheads and racial tensions
At 21, Dejah Naya moved to London from Liverpool to pursue her passion in studying and practising photography. The aim with her photography is to 'represent PoC and especially South Asian women', to try and show that they are more than a 'fashion trend'.
Dejah came from a small town, where skinheads and neo-nazis weren't an unfamiliar sight. She would occasionally see the iconography and had moments where she clashed with them ('I had a run in once with a tattoo shop ran by skinheads that wouldn't let me be in their shop'), so Dejah created this piece of work. Turning what she grew up around on its head: she stripped away the connotations of racial superiority held by these people, by applying the term 'skinhead' to a PoC.
Visualised by military tones, industrial colours and the model's sweet yet sharp glare into the camera.
"I'm hoping people will see the images as a 'fuck you' to any neo-nazi skinhead who looked down on or racially abused a person of colour"

When I was contacted awhile back by Gourmet Gift Baskets about reviewing one of their Christmas Gift Baskets I could not resist! I have worked with the fine folks at Gourmet Gift Baskets and they are wonderful people and stand behind their products! They have baskets for every occasion on the calendar. One of my favorites is the Jingle All The Way Holiday Gift Basket pictured in the photo above. If you have a sweet tooth like myself, then this basket is for you. It comes with candy, cookies, peppermint bark, toffee and much more. This basket is not only gorgeous looking, it's filled with awesome products, and this will make a nice little decoration on your table!
Gourmet Gift Baskets has something for everyone. Whether your a chocolate lover, peanut lover, cookie lover , candy lover or just a plain old fruit lover. There is something for everyone. Trust me on this!! If your going to a party or thinking of the perfect gift for your colleague, I always recommend a good old fruit basket. It's much healthier for you than candy. One of my favorite picks with Gourmet Gift Basket is the Orchard's Abundance Fruit Gift Basket. I remember working in the medical field for many years, and we always received gift baskets around the holidays, and we were thrilled with them. Inside this awesome basket is a jar of caramel sauce so you can dip the fruit in it. If you haven't ever tried dipping your fruit in caramel, you don't know what your missing.
The Holiday Sweets & Treats Snowflake Tin Christmas Basket is an eye catcher for sure and would look good sitting on any ones table. This one has mints, cookies, peanuts, honey mustard dip for dipping, and some dark chocolate too. The beautiful baskets by Gourmet Gift Baskets. If you have that someone in your family that your not to sure about buying for, then stop by and check the line of baskets they carry. They carry hundreds of baskets for every occasion, and they come delivered to the door perfectly wrapped in a basket!! Th people at Gourmet Gift Baskets are so easy to work with too!! They are awesome to me!!
This is another favorite of mine for sure, since I'm a huge Red Sox fan!! The "Boston Red Sox Gift Basket Classic" , and on my Christmas list for sure. I have many sports fans in my family and they all like it when they get anything related to their favorite sports team. I love the Lanyard and the Sports Tumbler. If you happen to not be a Red Sox Fan, and are a Yankee fan, Gourmet Gift Baskets has a New York Yankee Gift Basket Classic. Once you have decided which Basket you would like, you just select your zip code & where you want it delivered, and n the next page you will be able to choose how fast you want it there, and how much shipping will cost. Gourmet Gift Baskets start at $29.99 and go up to $250.00+ for the much larger ones. The baskets are priced perfectly for what you are getting.
The Corporate Show Stopper Christmas Basket would be a huge hit for sure!! Imagine being at your desk and having this gorgeous basket delivered to you. I think I would be in heaven, and of course I would share with all of my co workers. Everything is stacked perfectly in the basket. I'm not sure how they do it, but the items do not fall out of place at all. Would you like to have one of these baskets delivered to you? I know that I would, but this year instead of me reviewing a basket, and offering my readers a chance to win, Gourmet Gift Basket is sending baskets over seas to the troops. I can't be any prouder of them for doing so. I could have reviewed one for myself, and sent the other one to the troops, but I decided that I a bit more fortunate right now, and since Christmas is creeping up on us, I decided to send both of my baskets to the troops. Atleast it's a little something to give them a smile on their face Christmas morning. I know other companies that do the same, so kudos to all of you that give to others especially around the holidays! I hope you understand why I chose to do this, and don't worry as I'm sure I will be contacted again from Gourmet Gift Baskets.
I can't express enough thanks to the wonderful folks at Gourmet Gift Baskets for being so kind, and giving us blogger a chance to pay it forward to others who can't be home at the time. I watch on TV each year when the troops open their care packages tat were sent to them, and the smile on their face is priceless! They do know that we are supporting them and all they do, and thanks to the great people at Gourmet Gift Baskets, for giving us blogger's a chance to participate!! I hope I made someone smile with this act of kindness!!
If anyone is looking for the perfect gift for me , the Gourmet Cheesecake Sampler is a must have in my house.Imagine this just sitting on the table with some cherries to throw on top? It looks like it is flavored already, but what the heck, a few cherries & a touch of whip cream, would spice it right up. I'm dying to try this cheesecake, so if anyone knows me, just remember Christmas is coming up! Thanks again to Gourmet Gift Baskets for participating in this wonderful program helping the troops out! I know I had a smile on my face when I heard that you would be donating to the troops. Kudos to you folks for being so thoughtful!! If any blogger would like to write to Gourmet Gift Baskets inquiring about reviewing, and or donating them as I did , feel free to contact them, and they will get back to you. I'm not sure how many have been reviewed so far, so be patient, and they will return your message.
I was not compensated for this review, nor was I given product to review.I donated my Gourmet Gift Basket to the troops who are currently serving in IRAQ, Afghanistan. and other places.These are my opinions above, and yours and mine might vary!! Please refer to my disclosure policy on the bottom right hand side of my blog. Thanks to everyone who stops by and checks out my review. You should check out the Christmas Baskets that Gourmet Gift Baskets carries. I'm sure you will be loving every I wish you all a very blessed, full of love, and a safe season!! Happy Holidays!!!

Naval History: All 4 Winners Of Top Award Are Women
History was made this week in a little noticed ceremony in Washington when the U.S. Navy awarded its "Sailor of the Year" award to four women.
The Navy gave the awards, among the most prestigious for enlisted personnel, to two hospital corpsmen, Ingrid Cortez and Shalanda Brewer, Navy reservist Samira McBride and cryptologic technician Cassandra Foote. Each was promoted to chief petty officer.
At a ceremony held at the Navy Memorial, Master Chief Petty Officer of the Navy Rick West, the service's highest ranking enlisted man said, according to a Navy news release:
"This is a great day for our Navy, and today we are making history with all four Sailors of the Year being women. These sailors have proven themselves as professional sailors, experts in their rates, role models to our junior sailors and youth, and most importantly, true leaders," said West.
The Washington Post quoted one of the recipients:
"It's almost like the sky's the limit," said Chief Hospital Corpsman Ingrid J. Cortez, 32, who just returned to Virginia Beach from a two-year deployment on the amphibious assault ship Bataan. "We no longer have obstacles for women."

The ICPSR Summer Program in Quantitative Methods of Social Research is recognized throughout the world as the preeminent forum for basic and advanced training in the methodologies and technologies of social science research. We serve a diverse multidisciplinary and international constituency. Our general instructional philosophy emphasizes the integration of methodological strategies with the theoretical and practical concerns that arise in research on substantive social issues. The ICPSR Summer Program also creates a unique and supportive social environment that facilitates professional networking and encourages the exchange of ideas about the theory and practice of social science research.
ICPSR has offered educational opportunities through the Summer Program since 1963, when the first cohort of 82 participants arrived in Ann Arbor for intensive training in quantitative methods. The Program has grown mightily since that time. In 2013, it welcomed a record-setting 1,044 participants who represented 34 nations, 24 academic disciplines, and 322 institutions. The Program's 82 courses were taught by 97 faculty members who are recognized leaders in their fields. They represented 57 national and international institutions. Now in its 51st year, the Program continues to provide quality instruction and to offer an impressive range of course options.
The Summer Program takes place from early June to late August. In addition to two four-week sets of courses in Ann Arbor, Michigan, ICPSR offers intensive one-week workshops in Ann Arbor and at several additional sites.
In 2014, ICPSR is offering a number of workshops that will be of particular interest to the Stata user community:

Dallas, Texas, USA: Newly developed programmable differential amplifiers (PDAs) combine the best features of fully differential amplifiers (FDAs) and digital variable gain amplifiers (DVGAs), says Texas Instruments. Gain can be modified without adjusting external resistors, replacing amplifiers, or reconfiguring each gain stage. In addition, unlike traditional DVGAs, the PDAs display consistent noise and distortion performance over the entire gain range.
The 2.4-GHz LMH6881 single-channel PDA and 2.4-GHz LMH6882 dual-channel PDA deliver optimised noise, distortion, and bandwidth performance over a 6dB to 26dB gain range. LMH6882's channel gain matching of 0.2dB and phase matching of 1.5° enhance image rejection for wideband zero IF and I/Q sampling applications.
The devices' programmable gain control eliminates the need for gain-setting resistors and their associated mismatch errors. Gain control can be implemented via an SPI bus or dedicated pins. There's also no need for a balun, due to support that's included for dc-ac coupling and single-ended-to-differential conversion.
Evaluation modules, as well as TINA-TI Spice models and reference designs, are available now.

About Me
My name is Karli Rutledge and I am a 14 year old crossfitter from CrossFit Rutherford in Murfreesboro TN . I started CrossFit a little over 3 years ago after a knee injury from gymnastics. I would go up to crossfit with my dad John Rutledge and watch him workout and I told him that I wanted to try it. For about three months he had me do the baseline test until I got under eight minutes. I finally got under eight minutes and started with class and working with Ryan Creque on technique and skill work. Ever since then I have had the drive to be the best that I can be. I am now trained by Christian Haynes. It has been a long journey and sometimes not the easiest of ones either but the days that are harder than others are the ones that count the most.

Here at St. Benedict, we offer many opportunities to continue to learn about Jesus and grow in our faith. Our Child and Adult catechesis commission, is the collection of ministries dedicated to life long learning around the celebration of sacraments and around different moments in our lives. We are here to help you grow closer to Jesus and His Church.
For more information, please contact Daniel Hughes, Director of Catechesis or Nancy Uczen, Administrative Assistant at the Office of Religious Education. Nancy Uczen at email@example.com or Daniel Hughes email@example.com or 773-509-3830.
Baptisms are scheduled on every Sunday at 1:30 PM and at one of the weekend masses on the fourth weekend of the month. Baptism preparation class is necessary.
Religious education is offered for grades K-8 on Sunday mornings and Wednesday evenings.
Preparing to celebrate the Sacrament of Reconciliation (also known as penance) for the first time is an exciting time. It is a time for focus on God's mercy, how we forgive among our family, friends, and community, and how we celebrate forgiveness.
First Eucharist is one of the sacraments of initiation and is usually celebrated in second grade at our parish. First Eucharist is celebrated during the Easter season at a special Eucharistic celebration on a Saturday or Sunday morning. Children must take part in sacramental preparation, either in Religious Education or at our parish school prior to receiving this sacrament.
The sacrament of Confirmation, along with Baptism and Eucharist, is one of the three sacraments of initiation. At Confirmation the Holy Spirit strengthens the baptized Christian and endows her or him with gifts to enable us to carry out our mission to be Christ in the world and to continue building God's kingdom. To be fully a member of the Catholic Church, one needs to be baptized, confirmed and receive first Eucharist.
Spred (Special Religious Development) is a method of religious education. We gather in small faith communities to foster friendships while growing in our faith journeys together. Along with neighboring parishes' Spred groups, we invite friends to age groups starting with age 6-10, followed by 11-16, 17-21, and 21 years to end of life. Any interest to explore this method of religious education for a family member or as an adult volunteer catechist, partnered to each invited friend in a Spred group, please contact us: Stephanie Dragovich at (773)988-809 or Pat Woodhouse at email@example.com.
Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (RCIA):
For unbaptized persons or baptized persons interested in learning more about the Catholic faith and the process of becoming a Catholic, please call the rectory at (773 )588-6484 or Daniel Hughes the Director of Catechesis at 773-509-3830 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered during the Sunday morning 10:30 Mass. It is geared towards children who have not received their first communion. The children of the parish are invited by Father after the Opening Prayer to follow the Prayer Leader (Catechist) to a room where they can participate in age appropriate activities using the Children's weekly bulletins. They return to the congregation after the Creed.

The Animal Avenger team that helped Freddy consisted of four veterinarians, a dentist, and a graphic designer.
Using the most advanced technology, the "Animal Avengers" created a new shell.Freddy had lost 85% of her shell during the forest fire!
Subsequently, the new shell was surgically implanted onto Freddy's back, but it was an unnatural white color.

The lap of luxury is small, to be sure, but that doesn't mean you can't get your spot in it. There are multiple ways to experience the luxurious and great comfort that the world can provide. Even if you're just starting your venture into the extravagant life you've always wanted, there is one sure-fire way that you can enjoy it: mulberry silk bed sheets.
Bed sheets are a big part of anyone's life, considering we spend a third of our life in bed. Scientists recommend that a healthy dose of sleep is 8 hours, so you'll likely be spending at least a third of every day asleep. There's no reason to be sleeping in something uncomfortable, so start your journey to a luxurious life with getting a beautiful set of mulberry silk sheets.
Silk has been in use for thousands of years. Only emperors and high-ranking people in China were able to have silk material adorn their body, so it's no wonder that it remains a valuable material today. It is rather difficult to acquire, considering that silk worms have to make the threads, but there is nothing like them on the market—silk is undoubtedly the most delicate and luxurious material on the market.
What is silk?
To understand what mulberry silk is, we must first look at what silk is, at its base. Silk, in its most basic form, is a natural protein fiber made by silk worms called the Bombyx mori. When in the process of metamorphosize from larva (or caterpillar) into a moth, the silk worms will create a cocoon around themselves. This cocoon is what the silk material becomes. The cocoons are taken and spun into clothing and sheets.
Silk worms are dependent on humans to breed them because of thousands of years of selective breeding. Wild silk worms were not a good idea to harvest. Originating from China, the trade spread throughout Asia and even made it into Europe. Even though this may be the case, many silk connoisseurs argue that only Chinese silk is authentic.
What is mulberry silk?
Mulberry silk is considered the highest quality of all silk. As said above, Chinese silk is considered by many to be the original and best silk. Chinese silk is mulberry silk because it comes from mulberry silk worms. These worms are the ones that are bread in China. They are fed with their favorite mulberry leaves to produce the best silk they can. The silk is uniform and the purest of white, but can be dyed different colors.
Natural mulberry silk is hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating as well. Since it's a protein, it will naturally fend off any sort of allergy microbe or odor-causing bacteria from your sheets. That doesn't mean it is impervious, considering you will have to care and wash your silk bed sheets whenever you should. While silk is delicate, regular upkeep will increase its longevity and you'll be able to enjoy it for years to come.
Even though mulberry silk makes up around 85-90% of the entire world supply of silk, there are some sets out there that aren't. Let's face it: silk is expensive. You won't be able to get a full set of bed sheets on the market for less than $200. Luxury and comfort comes at a cost, so don't be fooled by those bed sheets that promise 100% mulberry silk if you don't pay for it. There are cheap imitations out there that will not give you the same benefits and feel as regular silk. A key factor in looking for silk is its "momme" measurement.
Does silk only come from silk worms?
While the main type of silk may come from the mulberry worm, they aren't the only insects that produce silk! There are other types, like raspy crickets, bulldog and weaver ants, silverfish, lacewings, and other types of flies. It has been known that spiders also make a spider silk, although spider silk uses are much different from clothing or bed sheets. They are mainly used for medical and military purposes.
What is momme?
Momme ("mummy", abbreviated as "mm") is the unit of measurement when it comes to silk weight. There's a very specific measurement when it comes to silky where one momme is equal to 4.34 grams per square meter. In regard to this measurement, one ounce per square yard equals to about 8 mommes. Therefore, you can imagine: the higher the momme, the more silk it takes. The higher the momme, the more expensive your bed sheets will be.
One may think that a higher momme is better for silk, but that isn't always the case. It will certainly be more durable and luxurious, but it may not give you the feel you're looking for. It's fine for bed sheets, but if you're looking for sleepwear like robes or night gowns, you'll want to stick to a lower momme. Heavier momme silk will actually feel closer to wool than silk, so be wary when searching for higher momme.
Which is the best momme for bed sheets?
This is a common question, but it depends entirely on one's taste. There is no exact weight for the perfect bed sheets, but you'll find that the average is around 19 momme. Many say that this is the perfect measurement, and you'll find a lot of the best mulberry sheets on the market at a 19 momme.
If you want to go to the next step, there are plenty of sets of bed sheets with the measurement of 25 momme. These are quite a bit thicker and may feel more luxurious, but they will be a bit more expensive, considering they will use more silk. Regardless, if you go for the lower or higher amount, it will feel more luxurious and comfortable than any other material on the market.
When there is no "momme" weight listed, look for the "mm" abbreviation. If there is absolutely none at all, it may not be authentic mulberry silk. Take as much time as you need for research, considering that you'll likely be paying a lot if you want mulberry silk bed sheets. There are plenty of great sets out there, but make sure you're getting authentic silk! That doesn't change the amount of care and maintenance that you'll have to do, though.
What about thread count?
Since silk is measured in momme, there is no need for thread count. It is not as important as the weight or quality of the silk, but a general rule of thumb is that 19 momme sheets typically have around 400 threads in the square meter of silk. Silk varies in sizes, so it's difficult to get an exact amount unless specifically mentioned by the manufacturer. Either way, one thing is clear: there's no need to worry about thread count when looking for silk products.
The Perfect Silk
If you're unsure about whether or not your silk is authentic or proper, there's nothing wrong with looking for reviews on the silk products you're interested in. There will be multiple verified purchases made, so follow other peoples' directions when buying. Going with a popular and well-reviewed manufacturer is always better than going blind! If you don't want to sift through reviews, there are other places that have reviewed the best mulberry bed sheets already.
Silk vs. Sateen vs. Satin
There is a lot of debate between these three materials, considering they all look very similar to each other. All three are very different, however. None of them come close to the luxurious feeling of silk, but the others may be comfortable enough to sleep on, be it through your bed sheets or clothing. Remember, though, you get what you pay for!
Silk is one of the most luxurious materials you can get, as discussed earlier. It is made from silk worms naturally and will provide you with a hypoallergenic and temperature-regulating night. Silk will resist mold and allergy-causing microbes while keeping to your body's temperature. The sheets will keep you cool in nights that are warm while keeping you cool in the warm nights. Its natural proteins will also keep your skin and hair healthy!
This isn't so much a material as it is a weave of other materials. It looks similar to silk, but is synthetic material instead of natural fibers. These can be seen as something like nylon or polyester, which likely isn't the luxury you want to sleep on. Satin can be comfortable, but it won't come with the hypoallergenic or enriching quality that comes from silk. It feels very different from authentic silk. While it is cheaper, it will not give you the luxurious feel as silk will.
While many may be confused about the materials that claim to be satin or sateen, sateen is also a weave, similar to satin. However, sateen is usually used with 100% cotton material like Egyptian or Pima cotton. These blends of natural fibers will give the material a silky-smooth, crisp shine to them. They will appear as illustrious as silk, but only one is made from silk worms and will provide your skin and hair with a healthy night.
Keep in mind, however, sateen also has some disadvantages. It is a loose weave, meaning it will "pill" more easily. Pilling is what happens when the material is used a lot and small balls of fabric begin building on it. These small, hard bits of fabric will scrape along your body and cause discomfort if left as it is. It's very difficult to get rid of these small balls and the easiest thing to do is to get new sheets. They aren't very durable, so you might want to go with a normal weave with cotton sheets.
Don't be fooled by imitation by satin—this is one of the ways some of the people out there try to take advantage of you. Some satin can be imbued with silk, making it a bit more luxurious than other blends, but it won't be as luxurious as silk. If you want silk bed sheets, make sure you go for silk and not satin! Sateen is also a great choice when it comes to bed sheets, but silk will still outdo it in luxury and comfort.
What are the different types of silk?
While Chinese silk is arguably the best and highest-quality silk in the world, their silk isn't the only ones around. You won't find a higher quality silk than mulberry silk, but if you want to settle for something a bit less extravagant, there are other silk producers from other areas. There are other Asian countries as well as European and African.
Mulberry Silk
As described many times, mulberry silk is the highest quality of silk out of any other types. Coming from China, this silk is produced by the silk worm after being fed a lifetime of mulberry leaves. Mulberry silk bed sheets take a lot of care and maintenance, but they're worth it.
This is likely the most common silk beneath mulberry silk. Charmeuse has the more "traditional" feel that many people are more used to. It is composed of a satin weave on the front and a crepe material on the back. While this is a good silk for some clothing and accessories like neck ties and sleepwear, it will not provide the same feel as 100% mulberry silk.
Tussah, or Tussar, silk, is made from a different type of silk worm than the one that produces mulberry silk. These silkworms are wilder than their cousins, but are found in more southern Asia areas. They have a rich texture and natural gold color and are produced in China, India, Japan, and Sri Lanka.
Silk chiffon is a matted, thicker form of material sometimes imbued with silk. It is less used for bed sheets and more used for a few pieces of clothing or accessories. Covers for night gowns is a good example. This material is also used for drapery for decorations. It can be for a canopy for a bed or curtains for your window.
Crepe de Chine
This fabric is a dress material used with a silk warp and weft (which is up and down, left and right direction of the threads) and is somewhat matted. The yarns are uniquely twisted to give it a crepe-like feel, but it is irregular on the surface. These are also used for clothing more than bed sheets.
This silk is a thin sheer fabric. While commonly made from nylon or polyester, this material is often used for bridal wear and evening gowns. These garments can also be made into skirts and other common clothing, but since it's so thin, it usually needs to be covered. This material will also be used for curtains and drapery.
While you may be looking for some new bed sheets, there are a lot of choices out there. If you're looking for the best that money can buy, you'll want the best mulberry silk bed sheets on the market. Silk sheets can be disguised as fake material, so you'll want to focus on things that boast 100% mulberry silk. There are a lot of sources out there, but you'll want to go with the most popular and most-reviewed manufacturers.

The Kilted Kod: Best Local Fish & Chips Taking Over the World/
As a landlocked Idaho native, my choices for fish and chips were understandably limited. If I was lucky enough to find a place that sold them, what they were offering were varying shades of palatable, but always expensive. Averaging $12 for fish and chips at any given restaurant, the dish became a super rare treat that I didn't think could get any better. Perhaps I was expecting too much....
Then one day in 2012, I was driving around near Overland and Maple Grove and saw an unfamiliar food truck. It's bright red paint contrasted sharply against the brown and gray background of the Overland Market, but then above all the exhaust and noise, the heavenly smell hit me and I had to have it!
After a quick jaunt down the street to get some cash (they weren't setup for debit/credit back then), I ordered a 2-piece meal and hung out by the trailer, taking in the delectable smell of battered fish as it teasingly rolled around in the fryer. The owners, Greg and Kelly Gempler, couldn't help but chuckle at my obvious fangirling, but I was past the point of caring. With a smile, they handed me my order in a generic white container, which paid absolutely no justice to the deliciousness within...
So How was the Food?
Up until this point, I never saw fish and chips that looked like that. The crisp and nonuniform breading clung firmly to a nice-sized filet of Alaskan Cod, and contained an amalgamation of seasonings that could be seen with the naked eye. And when I took that first bite, I was hooked (and no, I won't ask for a pardon on that pun!) Alaskan Cod has this tendency to flake off in layers when it's cut or bit into, and I fully expected the breading to come tumbling off once I began eating. Funny enough, this never happened. The breading clung to the filet the entire time, treating my palate with an even balance of mellow, tasty cod and crunchy, delectable batter.
But that wasn't the end of my culinary journey by any means! The fries, or chips, that accompany the fish are a treat in and of themselves. Perhaps I'm biased towards shoestring fries, but it doesn't make much sense to cut them too thick. Even when they're well-done, too-thick fries have a tendency to be crispy on the outside and noticeably cooler and soggy on the inside. When I saw that The Kilted Kod used shoestring fries, I was excited and after that first bite, they earned a customer for life.
The rough and deliciously seasoned exterior of the fries gave way to a crisp center that didn't disappoint. The Kilted Kod is very generous with the amount of fries they offer with each meal, which is great news for a guy like me who's not afraid to drop his modest eating conventions once in awhile. My favorite way to eat these absolutely amazing fries is to dunk them in the accompanying homemade tartar sauce along with some malt vinegar. More exotic options for malt vinegar were available at the table and on the truck, but I was happy with the initial offering, wanting to absorb every aspect of the first visit.
I left that day in utter amazement. Everything about that meal came together, from the hot crispness of the food to the ice cold bottled water I got with it, I had to have it again and again.
As time wore on, The Kilted Kod has only gotten better. My debit/credit card is now welcome, more times and locations have been added, and in addition to the already awesome tartar sauce, they now provide a line of homemade, local BBQ sauce called Chivers.
The mastermind couple behind this amazing line of sauces, Ray and Ramona Chivers, were even interviewed for the September 2014 feature of Idaho Entrepreneurs. Though all four of these are delicious, my favorite by far is Spicy Apple, which features a fruity sweetness at the top of the mouth with mild heat in the backend.
Even better, current owner Kevin McIntosh sells these delicious BBQ sauces at no profit to himself to help spread the word on this amazing brand, while the couple busily participates in various expos and shows across the Treasure Valley. Delicious food is great, but delicious food that's local is even better, especially when they start teaming up!
Great! Where's the Beer At?
And speaking of local collaboration, one of the new locations added to Kevin's weekly itinerary is Slanted Rock Brewery in Meridian, Idaho. With the brewery nearby, Kodsters (the nickname given to fans of The Kilted Kod) get the chance to pair their meal with regular brews like the highly approachable Afternoon Delight or the hoppy and amazing Initial Point IPA.
For those who want something different, they can also select one of the many seasonal brews on tap (my personal favorites are Slow Ryed Rye Ale and After Midnight Imperial Stout). Having a beer with your fish and chips is a great way to spend your Saturday evening, and just when it couldn't get any better, out comes the live music.
With Slanted Rock Brewing's close proximity to Majestic Cinemas, hanging out here on a Saturday is a great way to unwind with some amazing food and entertainment. With the brewery's relationship with The Kilted Kod, multiple tastes and needs can be addressed in one location in an area of town that practically screams "day vacation".
Kevin also enjoys similar relationships with other local establishments, namely other local food trucks. Every Wednesday, at The Cathedral of the Rockies-Amity Campus, The Kilted Kod and other food trucks, like Fresh Betty Spaghetti and Waffle Me Up, converge for the great Southern Idaho Food Truck Feast. In essence, it's like a tasty carnival for local foodies who simply can't make up their minds. When I showed up for my interview with Kevin on February 17th, 2016, he was casually chatting and laughing with his fellow food truck entrepreneurs. What I witnessed was true collaboration between local business owners engaging in an event that benefits everyone involved.
Nowhere Left to Go But Up
Over the last four years, I've continued to visit The Kilted Kod, and have witnessed first hand its explosive growth during that time. From being open only a few days a week to forging local relationships (and wowing customers from Seattle and Australia along the way), The Kilted Kod has completely changed the way I look at fish and chips. Even recent visits to restaurants along the Oregon Coast can't compare to what I'm already getting back home. Amazing fish and chips at an affordable price is about all I can ask for after a long day. So if you'll excuse me, I'll just be over here all like...
(I'd like to thank Kevin McIntosh of The Kilted Kod for giving me the opportunity to pick his brain for this interview. For more information. visit Facebook, Twitter, and their own website.)

Elder Arthur Maxson, registration MX-001E, is the last descendant of Roger Maxson, the founder of the Brotherhood of Steel. He serves as a squire in the Citadel in 2277 and is the leader of the East Coast chapter of the Brotherhood in 2287.
Fallout 3Edit
Arthur was born in 2267 and is a descendant of the legendary Roger Maxson, founder of the Brotherhood of Steel. His father, a high-ranking Paladin serving just outside the New California Republic, was killed in battle, and his mother, Jessica Maxson, sent the boy east to be raised under the tutelage of the respected Elder Lyons. Arthur tended toward timidity, which was the main reason his mother sent him to the Citadel.[1]
From his computer (which the Lone Wanderer can hack without Karma penalties), the Lone Wanderer can discover that young Arthur enjoys writing stories, has a crush on Sarah Lyons (because she taught him to kill a man by stabbing him in the kidneys), and that there is a Guns and Bullets magazine underneath a bed in the den.
Fallout 4Edit
After the events of Fallout 3, the East Coast Brotherhood of Steel faced a leadership crisis after Elder Owyn Lyons died of natural causes and his daughter Sarah Lyons was killed in combat shortly thereafter.[2] The East Coast Brotherhood repeatedly appointed and deposed numerous ineffectual Elders until Arthur Maxson was appointed Elder of the East Coast Brotherhood by the West Coast Elders in 2283 at the age of sixteen, the youngest in the history of the Brotherhood,[3] after displaying exceptional skill as a capable warrior and diplomat by defeating the super mutant leader Shephard and brokering peace with the Brotherhood Outcasts, bringing them back into the fold.
Arthur returns in Fallout 4 as the young and idealistic, but capable leader of the Brotherhood in the East Coast. He has established an amalgam between the ways of his predecessor and tutor Elder Owyn Lyons, who was using technology to help others, and the traditional Brotherhood approach of coveting and preserving advanced technology to protect people from abusing it. As a result, he is much more lenient about technology being in the hands of outsiders, and allocates teams of soldiers to combat dangers that would otherwise harm or kill the people of the wasteland,[4] while he has other teams scouring the ruins for technology that could be misused in the wrong hands. Maxson also strongly insists that the Brotherhood has the best interests of the Commonwealth in mind.
As a charismatic leader and a skilled tactician, Arthur has won the respect and admiration of his men through his numerous exploits. When he was 10, he killed a super mutant in a training mission. He owes his scar to a fight that he led alone against a deathclaw at the age of 13, an opponent that even BoS veterans advise not to face single-handedly.
Maxson is loved and admired throughout the Brotherhood. On the West Coast, some in the Brotherhood have even gone so far as to worship Maxson, much to his dislike. The Western Elders have these cults hunted down and uprooted.[5]
He deeply cares for everyone under his command, as he was heavily reluctant to allow Ingram into the field as a field scribe despite Knight-Captain Cade's professional opinion that due to her power armor frame (which replaced her legs and much of her lower torso), she was more suited for combat than scribe-work, in fact probably better suited than any Knight they could muster.[6] Additionally, he explicitly ordered that all technology was to be traded for food and medicine, and violent confrontation was to be a last resort, which drastically sets him apart from the West Coast Brotherhood, who used violence as a first resort. This shows that not only does he not wish to risk the lives of those under his command, but he does genuinely care about the people of the Commonwealth.
He also approved a request by Senior Scribe Neriah to develop a more effective alternative to the pre-War Rad-Away, showing that he has also carried on Lyons' efforts of improving technology as opposed to simply hoarding it, which remains the West Coast's goal, as can be seen through a conversation between Nolan McNamara and Veronica Santangelo in Fallout: New Vegas.
Daily scheduleEdit
Fallout 3Edit
He can usually be found in the Citadel B ring, where his room (and personal terminal) is located.
Fallout 4Edit
Maxson, along with the Prydwen, will show up in the Commonwealth once the quest Reunions is completed. He can usually be found in the main command deck of the Prydwen, and may also go to his room.
He will join the Brotherhood attack on the Institute during the quest Ad Victoriam, and become a temporary follower in The Nuclear Option.
If, however, the player decides to side with the Institute, then during the quest Airship Down he will emerge from a crashed Vertibird as the only survivor, in his personal Elder Power Armor wielding his unique Gatling laser.
In the Railroad main quests he is largely mentioned only until Rockets' Red Glare, where he can be confronted while or after sabotaging the Prydwen. He will be carrying his unique battle coat and Gatling laser, but not his power armor.
If the Brotherhood is victorious, then Maxson will advise that, as the Sole Survivor holds the rank of Sentinel, while they are free to carry out their own missions, to keep the Brotherhood's interests as a whole at heart.

- Arthur may grab a bottle of whiskey or beer from around the Citadel and drink it, like any other character.
- One of his dialogue lines is what links the Enclave power armor of Fallout 3 to previous Fallout games' "advanced power armor Mk II."
- Maxson is one of only two characters in Fallout 3 who will recite excerpts from the Codex; the other is Star Paladin Cross.
- The T-60 power armor Maxson wears during Airship Down is the only suit that can be found already upgrade to the highest tier (F), and bears the unique Elder paint job. This paint scheme cannot be crafted by the Sole Survivor, so it is lost forever if the player decides to recolor the armor parts after acquiring them. PC players who inadvertently do so, or failed to loot the armor during Airship Down or led someone other than the Institute to victory can add it to their inventory with the command player.additem 197994.
- It is impossible to pickpocket Maxson, even with the level 4 Pickpocket perk.
- When fighting Maxson during the Airship Down, there is a possibility of gaining a unique power armor frame called "Elder Maxson's Power Armor" by shooting the fusion core out of his suit. This has no unique effects, but it is the only named power armor frame in the base game.
- Arthur Maxson's rise to power has some similarities with the legend of King Arthur. After his father Uther Pendragon's demise, the fifteen year old Arthur became the new King of Britain and fought a series of battles, culminating in the Battle of Bath. Arthur is victorious against the Picts and Scots, and subsequently establishes an empire. Similarly, some time after Sarah Lyons' demise, Arthur Maxson fights a series of battles at age fifteen against the super mutants, eventually leading to his battle against the super mutant Shephard who was attempting to unite the super mutants of the Capital Wasteland. His victories lead to his ascension as elder of the eastern chapter, and establishing Brotherhood territory on the east coast.
- Maxson's concept art shows him a bit different than how he appears in game. At one point he was intended to have been clean shaven and to have had a cape rather than his battle coat.

- "Oh, well... You see, I am descended from the great Roger Maxson, founder of our order. I am the last of his line. They say my soul was forged from eternal steel, but I don't believe that. I'm really just a normal boy."
- "Shield yourself from those not bound to you by steel, for they are the blind. Aid them when you can, but lose not sight of yourself, it says."
- "I did go out one time, you know! Sarah... Um... Sentinel Lyons took me out. Just to show me. I killed a Super Mutant, too! I swear! I, um... I also sort of shot Sarah. But just a little! It was just a flesh wound..."
Fallout 4Edit
- "You truly have become one of us, sister/brother."
- "Our mission in the Commonwealth is clear: the Institute and its creations need to be destroyed in order to preserve our future. Which leaves me facing the most difficult order I've ever given."
- "Brothers and Sisters, the road behind us has been long and fraught with difficulty. Each and every one of you has surpassed my expectations by rapidly facilitating our arrival in the Commonwealth. You have accomplished this amazing feat without a hint of purpose or direction, and most impressively, without question. Now that the ship is in position, it is the time to reveal our purpose and our mission. Beneath the Commonwealth, there is a cancer known as "The Institute", a malignant growth that needs to be cut before it infects the surface. They are experimenting with dangerous technologies that could prove to be the world's undoing for the second time in recent history. The Institute Scientists have created a weapon that transcends the destructive nature of the atom bomb. They call their creation the "synth", a robotic abomination of technology that is free-thinking and masquerades as a human being. This notion that a machine can be granted free will is not only offensive, but horribly dangerous. And like the atom, if it isn't harnessed properly, it has the potential of rendering us extinct as a species. I am not prepared to allow the Institute to continue this line of experimentation. Therefore, the Institute and their "synths" are considered enemies of the Brotherhood of Steel, and should be dealt with swiftly and mercilessly. This campaign will be costly and many lives will be lost. But in the end, we will be saving humankind from its worst enemy... itself. Ad Victoriam!"
Arthur Maxson appears in Fallout 3 and Fallout 4.

- ↑ The Prydwen terminal entries: "When Elder Owyn Lyons died, care of young Arthur Maxson passed to Sarah Lyons, Owyn's daughter, who was then named Elder in his place. But when Sarah fell in battle shortly thereafter..."
- ↑ The Prydwen terminal entries: "...the Brotherhood of Steel appointed Arthur Maxson as Elder...the youngest in Brotherhood of Steel history."
- ↑ The Prydwen terminal entries: "If any of the caravans gets jumped, we can swoop in and lend a hand to let them know that we're the friendly eye in the sky."
- ↑ The Prydwen terminal entries: "...has the full support of the Elders back on the West Coast, who have proudly reported that they've been eradicating cults that have popped up, worshipping Maxson as though he's some kind of god."
- ↑ The Prydwen terminal entries: "She's trained in the armor rigorously and is fully qualified... actually, MORE than qualified to be placed with our ground troops."

City Pusher Street Plant decks/
Artist, Greg Higgins penned the original New Deal Mammoth graphic for me back in 1991, and now 25 years later, Street Plant is proud to release the City Pusher with art by Greg Higgins on the exact same shape that the Mammoth graphic was released on.
The City Pusher is in a sense, an answer to the '91 Mammoth board. In 1991, my skate career was deemed to be coming to an end, and the Mammoth graphic was meant in a way (by New Deal) to poke fun at my pending extinction.
Having the rest of my skate career play out on the "Endangered List" made for some strange times, fighting for survival, but I was happy for the mountain and I embraced the climb. And I am just as happy now to be done with it and to be well over that hill.
Being over the hill actually has some great advantages: Namely, total and complete freedom. I am not competing or perceived to be competing with anyone. I am not answering to sponsors, trends or convention in any way. I am just skating for fun, and every moment is true, unfolding from within.
The City Pusher sees a representative character, pushing UP the road, towards the city, into the future. On the street below we see the shadow of the Mammoth's Tusks, and the struggle they represented, fading away into the past with every new push. The sun is shining but there are also, and always will be, dark clouds and storms ahead on the horizon. Still, we push on. Embracing the good times and bad times with an open heart.
The top graphic encapsulates the idea of getting back to one's roots and living a more Lo-fi life in a Hi-fi age: Skate. Create. Enjoy. Keep it simple.
The shape is my favorite all around shape for today, with what I consider to be perfect dimensions for responsive, loose and fun skating:
9.5 x 32 5/8
Wheelbase: 14
Nose: 7 1/8
Tail: 7
This shape worked well for me in 1991, and works well for me now.
Reconnecting with Greg Higgins and having his art be a part of the Street Plant story has been a real blessing. The City Pusher joins a classic line-up and a history of board graphics that seek to tell a story and to be representative of an idea, a feeling. Greg captures the spirit of Street Plant perfectly with this art. There are so many of us, shaking off the exterior influences and getting UP the road in our own way, on our own measure and taking it one push at a time.

Christa Roby—from Chilliwack, British Columbia, in Canada—has been volunteering for Hands at Work in South Africa and in Kabwe, Zambia. A registered massage therapist, Christa had no idea when she applied to volunteer with Hands at Work whether her skills would be useful in Africa, but she came with an open heart to serve. Since October 2009, Christa has trained volunteer care workers in 12 villages in massage therapy. Care workers are being empowered when they see the impact they can make in the lives of their sick friends and neighbors with only their hands. Read more about a home visit Christa made with volunteers from Katondo Home-based Care in Kabwe, Zambia.
"Peter had a stroke in Feb/07 and had lost function of the right side of his body. I asked Floyd (one of the volunteers) to begin with working on his back while I worked with the right leg. I showed Floyd how tight Peter's hamstrings had become and also how to assist them in relaxing. Peter explained that he is only able to move around on his back. I was confused, so he took the opportunity to go to the washroom and show me. From his bed he lied on his back and then pushed himself onto the floor. While still on his back he slithered into the next room using his one good leg to pull himself. When he returned to the bed, I suggested that we try something new. I first explained how he has one good leg; he just needs to use it. So, Floyd and I each got under one arm and helped him into a standing position. From here we helped him hop about 5 feet to a chair outside his house. He began getting nervous that his good leg would collapse, so we let him sit. Once he calmed down and got over the shock of what just happened, Peter was all smiles! I don't think I had grasped the gravity of what just happened until Floyd explained that this was the first time in almost 3 years that Peter had stood up, let alone moved somewhere. Whenever they had to take him to town even, the volunteers would always carry him to and from the vehicle. We spent some more time doing massage with the limbs; I also showed him some exercises he could be doing to keep movement in the affected joints. We tried to encourage him to put confidence into using the good side of his body. After helping him back to his bed and adjusting his home to be more accommodating to moving on one leg, we were on our way. While seeing the smile left behind on Peter's face and also the confidence and excitement in the volunteers for their new found knowledge, I couldn't help but smile also."

He is the author "Hope for Hurting Singles: A Christian Guide to Overcoming Life's Challenges." Updated March 07, 2017 Today's Seventh-day Adventist Church had its beginning in the mid-1800s, with William Miller (1782-1849), a farmer who lived in upstate New York. Originally a Deist, Miller converted to Christianity and became a Baptist lay leader. After years of intensive Bible study, Miller concluded that the Second Coming of Jesus Christ was near. He took a passage from Daniel 8:14, in which angels said it would take 2,300 days for the temple to be cleansed. Miller interpreted those "days" as years. Starting with the year 457 BC, Miller added 2,300 years and came up with the period between March 1843 and March 1844. In 1836, he published a book titled Evidences from Scripture and History of the Second Coming of Christ about the Year 1843. But 1843 passed without incident, and so did 1844. The nonevent was called The Great Disappointment, and many disillusioned followers dropped out of the group. Miller withdrew from leadership, dying in 1849. Picking Up From Miller Many of the Millerites, or Adventists, as they called themselves, banded together in Washington, New Hampshire. They included Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, and Congregationalists. Ellen White (1827-1915), her husband James, and Joseph Bates emerged as leaders of the movement, which was incorporated as the Seventh-day Adventist Church in 1863. Adventists thought Miller's date was correct but that the geography of his prediction was mistaken. Instead of Jesus Christ's Second Coming on earth, they believed Christ entered the tabernacle in heaven. Christ started a second phase of the salvation process in 1844, Investigative Judgment 404, in which he judged the dead and the living still on earth. Christ's Second Coming would occur after he completed those judgments. Eight years after the church was incorporated, the Seventh-day Adventists sent their first official missionary, J.N. Andrews, to Switzerland. Soon Adventist missionaries were reaching out to every part of the world. Meanwhile, Ellen White and her family moved to Michigan and made trips to California to spread the Adventist faith. After her husband's death, she traveled to England, Germany, France, Italy, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, and Australia, encouraging missionaries. Ellen White in Seventh-day Adventists History Ellen White, continually active in the church, claimed to have visions from God and became a prolific writer. During her lifetime she produced more than 5,000 magazine articles and 40 books, and her 50,000 manuscript pages are still being collected and published. The Seventh-day Adventist Church accorded her prophet status and members continue to study her writings today. Because of White's interest in health and spirituality, the church began building hospitals and clinics. It also founded thousands of schools and colleges throughout the world. Higher education and healthy diets are greatly valued by Adventists. In the latter part of the 20th century, technology came into play as Adventists looked for new ways to evangelize. Radio stations, television stations, printed matter, the Internet, and satellite television are used to add new converts. From its meager beginnings 150 years ago, the Seventh-day Adventist Church has exploded in numbers, today claiming more than 15 million followers in over 200 countries.

First major Diane Arbus retrospective in France opens at Jeu de Paume
Diane Arbus, Child with a toy hand grenade in Central Park, N.Y.C. 1962. © The Estate of Diane Arbus.
Diane Arbus (New York, 19231971) revolutionized the art she practiced. Her bold subject matter and photographic approach produced a body of work that is often shocking in its purity, in its steadfast celebration of things as they are. Her gift for rendering strange those things we consider most familiar, and for uncovering the familiar within the exotic, enlarges our understanding of ourselves.
Arbus found most of her subjects in New York City, a place that she explored as both a known geography and as a foreign land, photographing people she discovered during the 1950s and 1960s. She was committed to photography as a medium that tangles with the facts. Her contemporary anthropologyportraits of couples, children, carnival performers, nudists, middle-class families, transvestites, zealots, eccentrics, and celebritiesstands as an allegory of the human experience, an exploration of the relationship between appearance and identity, illusion and belief, theater and reality.
In this first major retrospective in France,
Jeu de Paume
presents a selection of two hundred photographs that affords an opportunity to explore the origins, scope, and aspirations of a wholly original force in photography. It includes all of the artists iconic photographs as well as many that have never been publicly exhibited. Even the earliest examples of her work demonstrate Arbuss distinctive sensibility through the expression on a face, someones posture, the character of the light, and the personal implications of objects in a room or landscape. These elements, animated by the singular relationship between the photographer and her subject, conspire to implicate the viewer with the force of a personal encounter.
Diane Arbus was born in New York City on March 14, 1923, and attended the Ethical Culture and Fieldston Schools. At the age of eighteen she married Allan Arbus. Although she first started taking pictures in the early 1940s and studied photography with Alexey Brodovitch in 1954, it was not until 1955-57, while enrolled in courses taught by Lisette Model, that she began to seriously pursue the work for which she has come to be known.
Her first published photographs appeared in Esquire in 1960 under the title The Vertical Journey. From that point on she continued to work intermittently as a free-lance photographer for Esquire, Harpers Bazaar, Show, The London Sunday Times, and a number of other magazines, doing portraits on assignment as well as photographic essays, for several of which she wrote accompanying articles.
During the 1950s, like most of her contemporaries, she had been using a 35mm camera, but in 1962 she began working with a 6x6 Rolleiflex. She once said, in accounting for the shift, that she had grown impatient with the grain and wanted to be able to decipher in her pictures the actual texture of things. The 6x6 format contributed to the refinement of a deceptively simple, formal, classical style that has since been recognized as one of the distinctive features of her work.
She received Guggenheim Fellowships in 1963 and 1966 for projects on American Rites, Manners and Customs and spent several summers during that period traveling across the United States, photographing contests, festivals, public and private gatherings, people in the costumes of their professions or avocations, the hotel lobbies, dressing rooms and living rooms she had described as part of the considerable ceremonies of our present. These are our symptoms and our monuments, she wrote in her original application. I want simply to save them, for what is ceremonious and curious and commonplace will be legendary.
The photographs she produced in those years attracted a great deal of attention when a selected group of them were exhibited, along with the work of two other photographers, in the 1967 New Documents show at the Museum of Modern Art. Nonetheless, although several institutions subsequently purchased examples of her work for their permanent collections, her photographs appeared in only two other major exhibitions during her lifetime, both of them group shows.
In the late 1960s she taught photography courses at Parsons School of Design, the Rhode Island School of Design and Cooper Union and in 1971 gave a master class at Westbeth, the artists cooperative in New York City where she then lived. During the same period she initiated the concept and did the basic research for the Museum of Modern Arts 1973 exhibition on news photography, From the Picture Press.
She made a portfolio of ten photographs in 1970, printed, signed and annotated by her, which was to be the first of a series of limited editions of her work. She committed suicide on July 26, 1971 at the age of forty-eight. The following year the ten photographs in her portfolio became the first work of an American photographer to be exhibited at the Venice Biennale.
In the course of a career that may be said to have lasted little more than fifteen years, she produced a body of work whose style and content have secured her a place as one of the most significant and influential photographers of our time. The major retrospective mounted by the Museum of Modern Art in 1972 was attended by more than a quarter of a million people in New York before it began its tour of the United States and Canada. The Aperture monograph Diane Arbus, published in conjunction with the show has sold over 300,000 copies. Beginning in 2003, Diane Arbus Revelations, an international retrospective organized by The San Francisco Museum of Modern Art travelled to museums throughout the United States and Europe between 2003 and 2006. Major exhibitions devoted exclusively to her work have toured much of the world including, Australia, Germany, Italy, Japan, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Spain, and the United Kingdom.

Tarot Worksheet #2 - The Archeyptal Explorer
This worksheet is designed specifically for the exploration of the major arcana archetypes.
How to use the worksheet's different sections:
LESSONS: What are the lessons you can learn from this archetype? What wisdom does it offer? How does it inspire you to move forward in a positive way?
KEY WORDS: Write down the key words (nouns, verbs and adjectives) that encapsulate this archetype. For nouns, what are some of the concepts that this archetype embodies? For verbs, how does this archetype interact with your life? Does it nurture you, motivate you, or break you apart so you can grow? For adjectives--if you were to describe a moment in life or a character trait associated with this archetype, what words would you use?
LIFE MOMENTS: What are the moments in life that this archetype can come to represent? For example, what would be considered a Tower moment? A Star moment? A Magician moment? These could be events, actions or any kind of happenings you can think of. E.g. A break-up, a promotion, marriage, a road test, etc.
TEACHING STYLE: This is probably my favouirte category. :) If this archetype is a teacher, a life coach, a lightworker in real life--what kind of teaching style would it have? For example, The Empress would be more motherly and nurturing in its approach, while Death may be more ritualistic and likes to have its students participate in symbolic rites. Use your imagination and intuitive understand for this one!
As per usual, a sample page is attached to the worksheet. Feel free to look at it for ideas!
