Aachener Kunstroute 2013
Last year, during the Kunsttour in Maastricht, I have been invited to join the Aachener Kunstroute which will be held this weekend (28-29 September, each day from 11 until 19 hr). My work is situated at Burg Frankenberg in Aachen. As they are currently renovating the building there's only room for only one of my works, a nice one me thinks, and I will be present during both days so if you want to meet up..feel free to hop in!

Maybe see you then 🙂
Linhof & Enci Maastricht
My schedule has the finicky habit of changing the very last minute. The plan was to write a blog post last night, go cycling today in the morning somewhere and print the image for the exhibit in Aachen during the rest of the day. Found out on Monday we had a theatre show planned for Tuesday evening…darn. I rescheduled the printing to Monday evening / night, cycling with a friend Tuesday afternoon and go the theatre (cabaret) in the evening. Hmmm what to do with the Tuesday morning…Linhof yeah! I still had everything packed from Sunday, switched a couple of things, reread the Linhof manual, the bits that mattered anyway, and went on a trip this morning.
Seeing that the time would be limited I picked the Enci as a good place to shoot. Been there before in 2011 (see this link), easy parking, easy access, not many people around, close to home and was eager to see how it looked after two years. Nature has found its way; really beautiful there. Unfortunately they made a sort of bar and introduced paid parking (blood suckers) but luckily for us this wasn't opened and we did not see the parking meter 😉
I chose to work with the darkbox this time as it would work faster with setting up etc. The flashlight I bought to function as a darkroom light with red foil works like a charm! Plenty of light, you can switch it off to save battery life and easy to hang from its detachable hand strap: good purchase! The Jody Ake back works really nicely, the ridge the plate rests on is relatively small and will fall off during printing because of the ridge in the glass plate holder of the enlarger. I had trouble focusing; don't have a dark cloth for 4×5″ and I really need one outside; the foldable hood from Linhof itself is not good enough, certainly not with an f/14 lens. But, the lens was properly attached this time! 🙂
A fresnel will be one of the next purchases for the Linhof to improve focusing as well. On top of that I focused for the background; the line of trees at the other side of the water but the foreground comes out sharper than the back..? Maybe there was wind on the other side of the water..(35 seconds exposure time)? And I find it hard to 'read' the negatives. As in if they come out a little foggy perhaps? Not sure. I still have to adjust developer for them, in the first place to build up more silver on the plate. Did it here by multiplying regular exposure by 3 times and overdeveloping a little.
A first timer this shoot was the use of glycerin to keep the plates wet until I got home to give them a final rinse. I ordered two liters of glycerin and added 2 liters of water to them in a large canister. Left it overnight to properly become one. France mentioned you were supposed to coat the plate with the substance like you do with collodion and it's supposed to lay on top of the plate. This solution was not thick enough for that so I covered the plates in the boxes to make sure they stayed wet enough. Have to read up on that a little more but it seemed to work out just fine. In the scans I can see some strange cringes in some parts of the plate; have to look with a magnifier to determine if it's the scan or in the negative. Will report back on this when I do.
I left the plates in there for several hours, around 5 hours even I guess, before I gave them their final rinse. I fixed on the spot after the shoot, placed them in a rinsing bath to get the fixer off and then placed them in these boxes you can see up here and covered them with glycerin. When I took the plates out at home to rinse them I poured the glycerin back into the stock bottle for re-usage.
Anyway, enough of the boring part..it's the plates we care about! They are all 4×5″ clear glass ambrotypes shot using a Berthiot Perigraphe 90mm f/14 with an exposure time of 35 seconds.
Not perfect but fun we had and better they will get! Looking forward varnishing them and seeing how they will print. Have a good day! Already excited about my next adventure 🙂
P.s.: the cabaret turned out to be a duo singing their songs for the entire show..right. I took Bart out for Sushi, much better!
Jan Janssen Collodion Figure Study
I love my racing bike. I love the way racing bikes look; their aerodynamic form and slick lines. I love collodion. I hate the flu.
Last week consisted mostly of sleeping on the couch and or watching 'American Horror Story' on Netflix as I came down with the flu. Rather bad timing as I had to print work for a client which I luckily found myself able to postpone and had to prep a collodion demo for this past Sunday. All in all I got around to that last Friday. Seeing the upper sentence I thought it would be great to combine these loves, not merely for test-sake but to make a short series out of it so this will be continued somewhere later on this year when the weather bounds me to the studio.
All of the images are 4×5″ Clear Glass Ambrotypes and had an exposure time of 90 seconds @ f/5.6 with my lovely Steinheil 230mm lens. The plates are scanned using an Epson V700, nothing special done to them. In the future they will be printed, by hand of course, digital processing is for woosies 😉
Hopefully I'll get back to riding my bike soon instead of merely looking at it through a ground glass but it is as close as it gets for now 😉 I managed to screw up the last plate (which I actually shot first) with my nail while taking it out of the washing tray (ahhhhh)! Perhaps learning how to retouch glass negatives is next…however, just cutting my nails probably is easier haha!
My Biggest Fun F*ck Up. Evar. Haha.
Haha so…Tuesday night I though it would be cool to ask the day off on Wednesday. Of course a bit late for such a decision but I luckily I was able to get the afternoon off. At first the intention was to make some lith prints trying out the new Slavich Unibrom paper I ordered a while back as the first prints of David Kirby posted on the lith group on Facebook looked really funky. I then saw the weather and thought it would be more awesome to try my new Linhof! I learned many things 😉
Again, I had only a limited amount of time. During work I managed to get out and find a new LED light (I used up the battery of the one I used Sunday and because this all happened so unprepared forgot to charge it). I got home at around 1:30 PM, ate something (no, I don't live off ether vapours), fixed my new darkroom light, packed everything and finally was able to leave at around something like 2:30. I planned to photograph the bridge in Kanne, Belgium. I drove there and it looked pretty boring. I drove back to another bridge, the one I had planned to visit in the first place and a little closer to home, also in Belgium. I didn't find a parking spot immediately so I drove on until I found one and ended up photographing a beautiful lane towards the bridge (though the latter remaining invisible) and another nice land road.
I set up camp using a my wooden darkbox again instead of the tent. It's been a while since last time I used that. The LED torch, my new form of DR light which works really nicely as you can turn it off and on, saving heaps on power, hung from a nail hammered into the dark box and worked really nicely. I covered the torch with red foil which seems to do its thing. I started using my new silver box for the silver nitrate, the smaller box for max 5×7″ plates. Really nice this small!
I used my Linhof for the first time and thus also the new In Camera Industries back. In handling this works really well. Easy to open and close etc. Because it's so small easy to get the plate in and out. The only thing I might not like but not yet sure is that the plate does not rest on silver wires in the corners but all round the plate on a ridge. This means you will have a border on every image. Now, I plan to make negatives and print them using an enlarger. The holder of that will crop the borders of the image so probably not much will show up on the final result but have to discover that later on. On top of that, such a ridge is supposed to be more prone to contamination opposed to resting the plate on silver wires (not metal, not copper, but silver wires). We'll see..
One thing I lacked before using this camera is looking how this thing actually works. I could be blond (I used to be when I was really little, still noticeable in my habits) but I couldn't find the focusing knob. I mean, I know how to focus it when I place the lens bit on the retractable area but the extension was already too long for making landscapes. I just couldn't find it. Never worked with such a model, quite obviously.
The other thing SERIOUSLY lacking was the fixture of the lens to the lens board. As we did not have any fitting screws for the time being we decided ducktape would hold the lens to the lens board. Yeah right! When removing the lens cap, and especially putting it back on I kind of pushed the lens into the camera haha! It kept stucking to the board but with lots of movement possible. Kind of a sucky Lensbaby version thing going on 😉
The dark box as you can see on the image stands on the table I normally use in my tent. Only for this it's just too low to work in a nice manner. I really really have to fix that. The box had light leaks, badly. I really have to fix those too. I accidentally knocked the silver bath a couple of times while the plate was in there, not too good either I guess. I had to really find my workflow with all the new stuff and being clumsy and all it just didn't really seem to work this time. But I had fun, and my brother had too who came along to join me on my wonderful though swift day out in the field again.
Yes, it looks rather idiotic, I know…
All in all, a lot of things to improve on this new working style but it was a fun experience and sniffing ether out in the field is always fun, good plates or not! I think the plates that you're about to see are officially my must sucky plates, in a long time. I will varnish them though, for laughs-sake 😉
They are both 4×5″ Clear Glass Ambrotypes
Needless to say I'm looking forward to the next journey with the Linhof, only with A LOT of things adjusted! I hope you enjoyed this post about my clumsiness and failure. It's all about the journey they say anyway, right 😉
A2 Tunnel Maastricht Collodion Shoot 02-06-13
A while back I had a chat with friends and they thought it would be cool if I were to make collodion plates during the build of the new A2 tunnel in Maastricht. I thought it to be a great idea and I knew someone who's working on this massive project, named Bjorn Vink. So, one day I pulled his jacket (sweater whatever or I just said hi) and I asked him if that would be at all possible. His answer was quite positive 😉
It took a bit to plan everything, need good weather, needs to be approved on time etc. This weekend's Saturday there was an Open Day for the public to come and see the tunnel, how the build came along etc. On Sunday employees could bring their families and that's when we were able to come in! We first enjoyed a guided tour by Bjorn which started at 10 AM with lots of interesting background information on the build and we decided on a final standing place. We set everything up at around 11:30. I had until around 2:15 PM to make images. Needless to say time flew by like mad and we had a GREAT time!
This specific tunnel being built is a 2-way tunnel, separated lanes, double-decked, so four lanes in total. The build has started in, I believe, 2008 and will take until 2016 to be finished completely, and even then more work needs to be finished such as the greenery and the real estate parts.
It is a massive undertaking, taking place right at the heart of the city, but I think it will all be worth it. It was extremely fascinating to be allowed to walk the premises and see with my own eyes just how massive this project really is, and even then you still get to see (and understand) a mere glimpse of it.
Bjorn is also a photographer besides being the Senior Adviser geo-technique / geo-fysiology / geo-hydrology at the A2 tunnel project. He loves to make time-lapses and made one of us with an abused Nikon D700 setting up the darkroom tent and everything and making the first images, really cool!
On to the collodion part. I worked on black glass solely this time, partially because there was an interest from a potential buyer in the glass plates. So, not yet the inauguration of my Linhof. I chose for 8×10″ plates and 10×10″. The latter I partially regret now because I took pre-used plates that I cleaned thoroughly yet not good enough apparently. I used these cardboard sheets to place in between plates to keep them from scratching but they leave this nasty pattern on my plates which you can't see only after exposing the plates aka when it's too late. Never too old to learn I guess 😉 Below a panoramic impression (made with an iPhone) of the site where the darkroom and camera were setup.
Locate the camera and darkroom tent if you can 😉 The first image I took is situated in the middle of this panoramic image.
The second image is where the camera is standing in the panoramic image. The first 10×10″ was unusable because of the patterns I mentioned earlier and the collodion layer even cracked at that spot when heating the plate for varnishing. A perfect trashcan image..
The structures, all that rhythm with the lines is so cool! I wish I could have made more images, it's so fantastic and they look so good on collodion.
The last image that worked out okay is the next one. It was shot looking outwards from the tunnel.
I made another image after this one looking into the tunnel where it was quite dark. I found it hard to guesstimate exposure time and actually overexposed it a bit. The biggest mistake however I made with that plate was when rinsing it at home, the collodion came off the plate, another one for the trash can 😦 And that was the last image I could make. Bjorn had another meeting and, of course, we were not allowed there without the proper guidance. We packed everything swiftly, lugged the stuff back to the car (thanks for helping Bart, Bjorn and dad ;-)) and found our way back home, where we unloaded the car and crashed. It had been quite the day.
If you care to find out more about this wonderful tunnel project check their website for more information.
Oh, and a final Thank You goes out to the weather gods 😉 I don't know what dance I did but the weather was really on our side which was not something we expected during the coarse of the week.
Oh, and another thing I need to change in my work thingy, I have to ditch that LED light with battery. It works fantastic for the first 2 plates but after that the intensity of the light greatly diminishes making it really hard to see where to put the plate in the back and, even worse, where to pour the developer. It worked pretty alright but it's a needless pain.
Anyway, I pray this adventure gets a second chance because I LOVE it and would like to get more out of it than I did so far!
Kunsttour 2013: Avenue Céramique 191
It has come to pass, Kunsttour 2013. It has been a fun three days. Also the opening was a lot of fun! As always a short compilation of the place where I exhibited, this year Avenue Céramique 191, one of the main buildings of the Kunsttour. I met a lot of nice people, new ones, and those that already follow my work for quite some time now. They made for interesting stories and inspiration to keep doing what I love most; photography. Thank you!
Some crazy bunnies and a Mickey Mouse / Dart Vader from Johan Bruninx (he belongs to a group called Vonk VZW and exhibited as part of this group).
Veronique Alberghs had some nice paintings on the wall. I liked them. Also part of the group Vonk VZW.
Also part of the Vonk group was Jan de Lauré with a nice drawing (and painting?).
MAAK had a lovely table and lamp to show. Too bad they weren't around during those three days (as weren't most of the Vonk group though).
Imke van den Berg stood next to me with different techniques among which were collography and etching. Interesting work, one I liked very much!
On the opposite side of me hung the work of Lily Scheffer, a combination of photography and manipulation afterwards, which resulted in some colourful new worlds.
Next to Lily were a couple of works by Alexandra Knie who works with a combination of painting, graphics and textile.
On the other side of the space were large paintings by Marcel Willems. That work is what I like!
John Bijnens, also part of Vonk, presented his work (one piece?) at the other side of Alexandra Knie. I liked this piece although I would have liked it better in another presentation style.
In the middle of the room there were a couple of blocks laying flat on the ground, providing space to Wilma Schipholt and Herma van den Heuvel.
Wilma makes small statues of ceramique, really funny and imaginative. Herma makes lovely pieces of glass.
Niels Savelkouls was there again with his sort of maquette with all sorts of stuff going on.
And of course, I was there too 😉 I exhibited my "Devolution" series based on Mondrian's "Evolution" as that was chosen by the Kunsttour Committee. Received some good comments on this work which hasn't gotten out much before, just once. Not a humorous piece but nonetheless 😉 Two days before the opening I received an email if I had some more work to put on the other side as one person cancelled. No problemo! I was quite happy to be able to show more work, some genuine plates.
The three days flew by like mad. It went really fast. Had some good conversations at the table where we could sit during the day and drank some nice wine. Nothing bad there 😉 Didn't sell any work unfortunately but I did get invited to join the art route Roerdalen organised by Kunststroom next year (2014) so that's awesome! They house their exhibitions in monumental buildings so that makes for a great setting to present ones work. Looking forward!
Hopefully see you next year (sooner would be nice too)!

Doel Belgium on Wet Plate
A couple of months ago Marieke contacted me regarding something collodion. She was one of the attendees on a collodion workshop I gave at the IKA in Mechelen (BE). She is working on her graduation project and wanted to make some plates for this. So she asked me if she could join me on one of my field trips. For me this meant an opportunity to actually plan a field trip (today I realised it was actually 2 YEARS ago!). We agreed on a price, time and place and yesterday came the day we went to visit a small village called Doel in Belgium.
Doel is near Antwerp, a small village near its harbour. In the sixties the Big Harbour of Antwerp wanted to expand and found Doel to be what it wanted. The people were bought out in order for them to leave but not all of them did. The population dropped from a 1300 inhabitants to 188 in 2010 and around 10 nowadays (not sure about that last number but someone told me yesterday that there where only 3 houses left that had people living in them). From what I've heard Antwerp has dropped the plan (for now) as it's too expensive to continue. Yeah…
So, now we have a village that is pretty much abandoned. But not for real! I was surprised of its vividness! There are two cafes, one in an old windmill which is nothing but dead. Whole families come there on their day off to enjoy the weather, the view (on the nuclear power plant ;-)) and of course lots of photographers. We had an awesome day!
We had one darkroom and one camera so the working speed was pretty low. Marieke shot positives on black glass, I was looking to shoot some clear glass. The tricky part for her was to find her way back to working with collodion after having done only one workshop more than a year ago. I wasn't able to go with her in the darkroom tent to guide her there so it was rather tough to create proper images seeing the conditions we worked in. We had a lot of fun though! I managed to make three clear glass ambrotypes but hope to get back there soon to try some more and better myself. It's a wonderful location, heck, even the ride through the harbour fields is extremely fascinating, at times it looks like a moon scenery (not that I've ever been there ;-))!
The sweet darkroom setup in an even sweeter surrounding. Luckily I was able to park the car real close after we chose our location. Note to self: buy something on wheels to lug your stuff around! We first walked the perimeters to see where we would set up everything and I made some photos with the M6 and a couple impressions with the iPhone which you can see here (the only colour photos in this post).
The photo below is the courtesy of Marieke Bakkes and is of me focusing the camera for my shot down the streets of Doel.
The light was really FULL of UV so my exposure times were around 3 seconds on f/16, including the triple time overexposure for my clear glass images. There is still some work for me to be looking at because the images are far from perfect. I see stripes / striations; could be a pouring issue, or too little rocking of the plate, or too little alcohol in the collodion to make it flow properly over the plate due to the hot temperature. I have small black dots on the plate, not sure what that is? Dust contamination but from what? I have to practice on the pouring (4×5″ while holding the plate in the corner is really finicky) so I'm looking to use a suction cup next time. I hope to get back there soon, on my own though, to be able to work on my skills and plates more.
This image is of my mum and dog watching over my camera standing on the dike while we are pouring the last plate you'll be seeing in a bit.
Backgroud info:
4×5″ Clear Glass Ambrotypes
Exposure +- 3 to 4 seconds f/16
Scanned using the Epson V700, not yet printed.
I hope to print them soon in lith to see how far I can stretch these images. But I'm not 100% satisfied with these so hope to get back there soon, hopefully with my Linhof so I can save on lugging heaviness around.
From what I've just read in a piece from the Volkskrant (Dutch newspaper, thanks Mr. Neighbour) the Belgian government agreed past Tuesday with the harbour expanding and Doel being torn down. This means I will have to go back at least this very season. There are worst things in life, me thinks 😉
I guess that was it for now…thank you Marieke, I hope you had a great day, I sure did, and thank you mom, dad and brothels for helping me looking after my stuff -x-
Brother & Sister on Black Glass
A couple of weeks ago a friend of mine, Jean-Pierre Pijls, asked me if I could photograph his kids, Rafke and Thieu, on wet plate. Knowing that we followed the same photography classes and his children being around the age of 17 I felt it like a cool challenge, seeing that I normally do not make portraits on commission. I 'shot' them on 18×24 cm black glass. Now they have been varnished and scanned I can share them with you.
I've used a new light to make these portraits: a Kaiser 2000 watt video light which I aimed at an umbrella. I was able to bring the exposure time back to 20 seconds instead of 30 with the 2 Falcon Eyes lights. I'm pretty happy! I used a small reflector to lit up the face on the other side. The Lastolite Urban Collapsible as a background works really well again! I'm very happy with this one! Enough of the blabla…on to the images…Jean-Pierre shot some images during the shoot which I will use as an introduction to the real plates.
And last but not least, Brother & Sister on Black Glass
My Brother and his Guitar
Not the best plate I've made but I like my brother on his guitar.
A couple of things went wrong; poured the developer poorly; received a call right before I wanted to expose the plate which I had to take, not a very well cleaned plate and so on.
10×10″ Black Glass Ambrotype
I also made a 4×5″ clear glass ambrotype which I hope to be able to print soon, most likely the lith way. Not sure when, my cold has finally caught up with me and have lots of projects/things that require my attention. I will first have to varnish it anyway 😉

A child suspects that his pops was once pretty cool and wonders what changed.
Negley's follow-up to Tough Guys (Have Feelings Too) (2015) is all about the subtext. In his poster-style apartment scenes, evidence of coolness abounds, from drum kits and an electric guitar to the skateboard with the painted skull—not to mention the parental forearms festooned with wild tattoos. But while the young narrator visualizes rock concerts, orange mohawks, and fast motorcycles, what he sees is dad, hair now black and conservatively cut, folding laundry, vacuuming, and taking his son out (in a compact station wagon) for a romp in the park and a walk on the beach. He's so serious now. "Something must have happened," the lad puzzles, "for him to give it all up." Perceptive readers will figure out what—or more accurately, who—"happened." And as a further addition to the unspoken narrative, aside from one picture on the wall, there is no sign of a second parent. Dad and lad are both sunburnt pink, but there is some variation in the skin tone of passersby in the park. At day's end the boy admits "OK, so maybe he's still a tiny bit cool." But then, rocking out on the way home, dad flashes heavy-metal–style horns out the window: "Yeah—nope, he's not."
Yes, he sure is. (Picture book. 6-9)

Yes! Southeastern is dedicated to not making students retake any core classes that they took in their undergraduate studies. The way we accomplish this is through the Southeastern Collegiate Partnership (SCP). Through SCP, you are allowed to test out of up to 1/4th of your degree for about a third of the price of tuition. You are eligible to take a test if you received a 'B' or better in the corresponding course within the last 10 years. The first step in this process is to fill out a SCP Transcript Evaluation request. You can find that, along with other SCP information, here: http://www.sebts.edu/admissions/SCP/scp_eval.aspx.
I took Biblical Studies classes in my undergraduate degree. Can I get credit for those classes?

Maryville College's Alden Wright blasted a solo shot in the bottom of the eighth, but it wasn't enough, as the Scots fell in the first loss of the 2018 campaign, 7-1.
The loss ends one of the best starts in Maryville College history, as the squad jumped to an 8-0 record to start the season. However, a pair of big innings gave N.C. Wesleyan the USA South opener with the series still on the line.
Maryville had a key opportunity in the top of the third, as Drew Johnson found the first hit for either team. Hayden Hollingsworth used a two-out single through the left side to put runners on the corners before the Scots would attempt the double steal. N.C. Wesleyan wasn't fooled, getting the 2-4-2 caught stealing at home to end the threat.
The Bishops' Trey Croom drew a lead-off walk to start the top of the fifth inning before a failed pickoff attempt put him on second. Caleb Narron moved him to third on a sacrifice, as a Brandon White RBI single up the middle – the first hit given up by the Scots – plated Croom. Maryville's second error of the inning would exacerbate the damage, as a double steal put runners on second and third with only one out. Alec Titmus would earn an RBI with a single down the right-field line to plate Wheat, while a wild pitch would score Logan Andrews from third, putting N.C. Wesleyan in control, 3-0.
Wheat singled to right to start the seventh inning before Andrews' sacrifice moved him to second. A hard-hit single up the middle by Titmus put runners on the corners with one out, before Cedric Kornegay's safety squeeze dished Wheat. A hit batsman and an infield single would juice the bags, before N.C. Wesleyan would score their second run of the day on a wild pitch. Titmus scored on the play, as Max Johnson's two-RBI triple off the top fence in right plated Nate Gardner and Brad Pennington. The four-run inning gave the Battling Bishops a 7-nil lead going to the seventh-inning stretch.
Alden Wright broke Maryville's silence in the bottom of the eighth. The right-fielder blasted a solo shot off the left-field fence for the Scots' fourth hit of the afternoon. Pinch-hitter Eric Hart and Mike Homan added back-to-back singles, but a double-play ball ended MC's rally. The Bishops took the win, 7-1.
Maryville (8-1, 0-1 USA South) was led by Homan's 2-for-3 afternoon, as Wright went 1-for-3 with his blast. Caleb Adams and Eric Hart each went 1-for-1, while Johnson and Hollingsworth each added hits on the afternoon.
N.C. Wesleyan (6-3, 1-0) was led by Wheat's 2-for-4 afternoon, as the catcher tallied an RBI and a pair of runs scored. Titmus went 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI, while Johnson was 1-for-2 with a pair of walks and RBIs to go with his triple. Narron and Gardner each added hits, as Gardner, Pennington, Croom and Andrews all scored in the game.
Maryville will look next to the second game of the day, as the double-header continues against N.C. Wesleyan on Scotland Yard. First pitch is set for 4 p.m.

Salted Caramel ReligieuseThis is really a must must must try for caramel and/or cream puff fans. Don't be deceive by the simple look, it packs alot of different textures. A religieuse is made with two buns (of choux pastry): the body and the head, filled with flavoured crème patissière and covered with an icing. The head is surrounded (and stuck) by Chantilly or butter cream.
The top mini puff is filled caramel buttercream but the bottom is the luscious caramel cream that is "perfumed with fleur de sel". Hah...perfumed, don't know how exacty it works but it sure taste like salted caramel cream...not buttercream luckily. (good that it is just restricted to the top)
Strawberry Shortcake
Japanese Shortcake sponge,Kirsch syrup, creme chantilly, fresh strawberries
This one looks very alike to Canele version. But I still think that the sponge can be less sweet as they had been soaked in liquor. Can literally press out the kirsch juices as the cake really absorb them like a sponge. But if many other can produce a moist soft sponge without using liquor, I am sure that Antoinette can also do the same thing. The strawberries are quite sour and this cake had less cream than sponge. Not a very impressive one.
Meringue Chantily
French vanilla meringue, vanilla chantilly cream, passionfruit creamThe passionfruit and vanilla creme is sandwiched between the 2 hard meringues.Yeps...I was prepared to take on it's sweetness of the meringues and it paired very well with the light not too sweet vanilla creme. Rather disappointed that the passionfruit cream was scarcely limited. It would be certainly be a more well balanced dessert if the flavour of passionfruit can be further accented.
Le RoyaleThe top layer is the dark chocolate mousse 64% which is indeed really smooth and light. But neither was it bitter. There was a dark rum aftertaste if you let the chocolate mousse sit on your tongue for a while. The next layer is a very thin almond meringue. The hazelnut almond feuillitine which adds a contrasting crispy texture to the cake was fine and grainy. It may be rather thin layer but just sufficient for the cake.
Compared to Canele's Le Royale, the amount of crunchiness here is slightly lesser but at least it is a lot less sweet than Canele's version.
Saint Honore L'AmourThe dainty pink lady, hidden under the rose petal with transparent rose petal glaze ( the white droplets)
Many do cream puffs but seldom named it after the French version. So I was happy to hear about the St Honoure and it was a rose version. Luckily, the rose cream was only lightly perfumed as in some like the rose Macaron, the smell of rose can be overpowering and sickly. This is very light and not sweet as compared to the chocolate cakes.
Eh? Ice cream? Nope this is cake!
ChocolicieuxCoated in a crunchy almond chocolate shell, the insides are actually a very dense cake filled with dark chocolate cream 66% and filled with hazelnut nougatine. I was drawn to the unique appearance but the cake fell slightly off my expectation as it was really sweet compared to the Le Royale.
Hazelnut nougatine to add to the crunch but as the ganache was already very sweet, some of the nuts tasted just plain while some still can retain it's crunchy sugar coating. It is a cake that scores higher in appearance than taste.
Not to forget the Canele (1 for $2), since Chef Pang was originally from Canele.
Spongy and slightly custardy interior. Taste similar to Pave but slightly more pricey.
With so many more to try, there will be a Part 2 of this post.

It's hard to remember a time when the environment has not been challenging for newspaper publishers: declining profitability across the industry, steady falls in print circulation, the migration of advertising pounds out of newspapers, the need for investment in digital growth and the cost-cutting initiatives employed by media companies in an attempt to mitigate all this. Last year was no exception as we estimate, on the basis of publicly available information, that quality press publishers lost around £123m (after exceptionals) on revenues of over £1.1bn.
GNM's operating loss before exceptional items was £26.4m compared with £15.9m on turnover up from £245.7m to £261.9m. The increase in operating loss reflected increased investment and restructuring costs and amortisation. The loss rose to £82.4m after exceptionals, due largely to a write-down of print assets and a print contract provision.
The scale of the challenge we now face, however, is of a totally different order in the wake of the global financial crisis. Media analysts on both sides of the Atlantic believe 2009 will be an incredibly tough year for any company with a serious exposure to advertising. GNM currently makes 60% of revenues from advertising. Although this may seem alarmist, in the last recession 18 years ago, advertising overall fell by 10% with recruitment revenues plunging by 40%.
This is a far cry from the financial year ending March 2008, which proved to be one of the most successful for GNM in recent history. We reaped the benefit of earlier strategic investments in the Berliner colour presses and maintained our strong digital advertising yields on the back of our growing online audiences for theguardian.com.
GNM achieved an overall 7% increase in revenues year on year, one of the strongest performances in the market. Revenues from copy sales, display advertising, both in print and online, and digital recruitment all grew ahead of the overall market - which itself enjoyed steady growth in the core print areas and very rapid growth in digital.
With the economy now in retreat, the picture is very different, with publishers turning to cover price rises, much as they did in 1990-91. The cost of the Times, Telegraph, and Saturday Guardian all went up by 10p in autumn 2008 while the Independent jumped 20p to be the first general-interest newspaper to hit the £1 mark in the UK.
There are risks attached to this strategy, given that every quality paper, with the exception of the Observer, lost paid-for sales last year and that readers are more than usually price sensitive at the moment.
It is at times like these that the support of our sole shareholder the Scott Trust comes into its own, allowing us to continue planning for the long term, rather than slashing costs. So we do not intend to just retreat into our core. Our goal, successfully achieved in previous downturns, is to exit this one in better shape than we have entered it and to deliver against our vision of being the world's leading liberal voice.
Despite the relatively downbeat prognosis for newspapers this year, we are as committed as ever to print. Last year digital revenues accounted for 10.5% of total revenues for GNM. While we expect this to grow, it will be several years before digital overtakes print as our primary revenue source.
From a purely commercial perspective, our digital UK position and reach is by far the most important factor to advertisers, so maintaining and growing our domestic audience remains key to our digital strategy. However, it is no longer adequate to look only at our UK position, given that we now have such a large global audience. If we define theguardian.com as a global newspaper website competing for audience against all other newspaper websites then we are within the top 10 in the world along with papers in China, America, Japan and Turkey.
However, if one looks at news websites, rather than newspaper websites, we see our audience dwarfed in comparison to the reach of an array of American and Chinese sites, with the BBC as the only UK contender.
Guardian Media Group
The reason GNM is able to fulfil its core purpose is because of the financial support of its parent company Guardian Media Group (GMG). Over the past five years alone, GMG has invested £207m in GNM, part of which has gone into new all-colour presses and the development of our global website.
GMG is able to do this by running a portfolio of profit-maximising businesses in areas such as radio, regional papers, property and secondhand car sales.
Alan Rusbridger, editor in chief of GNM, says the unusual structure works because "Guardian journalists appreciate the rest of the company is run on tough, commerical lines ... and our colleagues in other divisions show an understanding that, constitutionally, legally and morally, they are there to support liberal journalism at its best."
In 2008 GMG transformed its portfolio with the development of a strategic partnership with the private equity firm Apax Partners, first of all selling it a 49% stake in Trader Media Group (TMG) for more than £600m and then joining forces with it to acquire Emap for £1bn (see www.gmgplc.co.uk/financials for financial results).
GMG has invested £200m of the sale price of TMG in a long-term externally managed investment fund weighted away from media and UK stocks.
GMG chief executive Carolyn McCall says the purpose behind these moves is to reduce the group's reliance on classified advertising and the UK economy. "Virtually everything is changing; everything, that is, except what we're here for. We remain absolutely committed to maintaining the Guardian's historic independence.
"But we want to go further than that. At the head of GMG's list of priorities for the year ahead is supporting the Guardian's ambition to become the world's leading liberal voice through the international expansion of theguardian.com."
McCall acknowledges criticisms in the Guardian's coverage levelled at private equity firms: "That is the meaning of editorial independence: our journalists are free to write what they think. That is the unique nature and strength of the organisation."
But she adds that Apax was chosen "very carefully, with both our commercial responsibilities and values in mind."
GMG is also developing a group-wide strategy on sustainability. Representatives have been appointed in each of the group's six divisions, who are supported at the centre by GMG's head of corporate development as well as non-executive board director John Bartle who has taken on the mantle of group sustainability champion.
With the support of the Carbon Trust, GMG is currently implementing a carbon management programme to reduce its carbon footprint.

Ushuaia — Tour Highlights and Travel Tips
Wonder what holidays at the end of the world would look like? Then make sure to book a trip to Ushuaia, an Argentine town commonly described using this very phrase, due to its location in the southernmost part the country. Even though it is mostly known as a hub for outdoor adventurers and wildlife enthusiasts, the city's ever-growing cultural offer will make sure your holidays in Ushuaia are also packed with all sorts of stylish, metropolitan activities.
Tour Highlights
- Museo Maritimo is an intriguing cultural complex housed in a former prison. It offers insight into Ushuaia's maritime tradition and history as a penal colony.
- Martial Glacier is an easy hike that will take you through streams and woodlands that rise above Ushuaia. Once on top, you will have an spectacular view of the city and the Beagle Channel.
- Yatan Park is the only remaining part of the native forest that once covered this area. Today, it is a place for the indigenous community to practice their crafts, which can be viewed at the Yatan Park's art center.
- Museum at the End of the World is dedicated to Ushuaia's indigenous history, but also its rich and diverse animal life.
Travel Tips
- A great way to experience Ushuaia's amazing scenery is by booking a cruise across the Beagle Channel. This way, you can admire the awe-inspiring mountains and glaciers that surround the city, but also experience several wildlife habitats, which are famous for being studied by Charles Darwin.
- If you prefer exploring the area on land, you can ride aboard the Southern Fuegian Railway, which will take you through the wonderful landscapes of the Tierra del Fuego region.
- If you are planning to focus your Ushuaia holiday around outdoor activities, you might want to you plan your visit during South American summers — in the months between December and February.

A proper reconstruction of discrete crystal structure with defects is an important problem in dislocation theory. Currently, procedures for dislocation core reconstruction presented in the literature usually neglect configuration changes. The present paper discusses a new approach, which uses an iterative algorithm to determine an atomistic configuration of the dislocation core. The mathematical background is based on finite deformation theory, in which an iterative algorithm searches for the new atomic configuration corresponding to the actual atomic configuration of the deformed crystal. Its application to the reconstruction of 4H-SiC crystal affected by the system of four threading dislocations is presented as an example. Molecular statics calculations suggest a lower potential energy, as well as dislocation core energy, per-atom energy, and per-atom stresses for the structure reconstructed by use of the iterative algorithm against the classical solution based on the Love's equations.Keywords:

In February 2014, the EDA Board authorized a lease between the EDA and Washington Avenue Apartments, LLC (Armada Hoffler) for 5,411 square feet of first-floor Liberty Center office/retail space, known as the Downtown Maritime Community Center, in the mixed-use building at 3201 Washington Avenue, a component of the Apprentice School Mixed-Use Development Project. This space will help augment the City's Department of Parks, Recreation & Tourism's existing program schedule and provisions for recreational and program services Downtown. The Department has begun to utilize the Community Center space for exercise classes and will be increasing program offerings in 2016.
Downtown workers and residents experienced the benefits of new amenities in Liberty Shoppes. New retail and commercial tenants included Dunkin Donuts, Subway, Tidewater Physical Therapy and Juicy Teriyaki. These resources, along with the Community Center, will provide an attractive balance of options for an enhanced quality of life in the Downtown area.Visit website

Retailers answer publishers' questions to improve marketing and sales in the channel.
The Bible is a perennial fixture in the Christian marketplace. And it is in the DNA of every Christian retailer who serves on the front lines, linking hearts and minds to God's Word.
Storeowners know what their customers are looking for, what their felt needs are, what important questions they're asking. Communicating this information to the suppliers who publish Bibles is critical for everyone's success.
Recently Bible suppliers provided CBA with specific questions they wanted to ask retailers about Bible sales in their stores in order to improve marketing and sales in the retail channel. We asked a sampling of retailers these questions. Here's what they had to say.
Buying Bibles
To better meet storeowner's needs, Bible publishers wanted to know when and how retailers make Bible purchasing decisions. Donna Baker, president of Dightmans Bible Book Center in Tacoma, Washington, orders frontlist product when publishers' sales reps visit the store.
"We appreciate the information they provide and the higher discounts we receive from the vendors," she says, adding that she usually orders backlist Bibles by using the reports and history from her inventory management system.
Link McGinnis, co-owner and Bible buyer at Cedar Springs Christian Stores in Knoxville, Tennessee, also buys frontlist Bibles from sales reps, but for backlist, he uses a schedule to review titles from each publisher.
"The publishers are scheduled for either weekly, monthly, or in the case of distributors, daily review," he explains. "Different times of the year require a different strategy. But basically I need to know our overall cash situation and the turns in each category. If cash is short and/or turns are running a little low, then my replenishment quantities per title will be a little tighter than if turns were running higher."
Each publisher is reviewed, but an order may not be placed at that time if the order isn't warranted (i.e. it doesn't meet publisher minimums. etc.). "If certain items on the order are needed, but a publisher order can't be made at that time, the item(s) may be placed with a distributor, if possible," McGinnis says.
For Bethany Martin, manager at Faith & Life Bookstore in Newton, Kansas, most initial purchasing decisions are made with the help of a publisher rep at the beginning of each quarter. She says, "Reorder decisions are based on purchases and customer requests."
Tammie Owens, manager at The Bookery Parable Christian Store in Mansfield, Ohio, relies on sales reps' recommendations. "It also depends on what's being promoted in our Parable sale catalogs," she adds.
Merchandising Tools
Many suppliers asked what—if any—merchandising tools would be helpful for retailers to sell Bibles. Because of space limitations, Martin's store doesn't have a lot of room for extra displays, posters, endcaps, or even samples. For that reason, she considers a translation guide the most useful resource.
"Just simple explanations of the differences of the Bibles and translations are helpful," she says. "We use the poster that comes out every year explaining each translation and how it originated."
Owens also favors translation guides while Baker says attention-grabbing shelftalkers are good tools to have.
McGinnis hopes to see in-store signage for new product geared to different levels of inventory. "For example, we can't always justify buying every edition of a niche Bible to fill a dump display. So, merchandising needs to be available for different levels of product," he says.
To help promote new Bibles over social media, McGinnis would like suppliers to provide "digital images and other resources that can be used in various social media."
When it comes to the role price point plays in a customer's decision to purchase a certain Bible, Owens says it is usually one of the main criteria.
Baker agrees. "Lots of customers want Bibles in the $20 to $30 range."
"This is different for every customer," says Martin. "A few don't care about the price—they just want the right Bible for them."
At certain times of year, price doesn't matter, says McGinnis. "We see this especially at Christmastime or when the customer is passionate about a specific Bible. But if the customer isn't already determined to purchase a certain type of Bible, they may choose a less-expensive Bible that still fits the need."`
He adds that price is also one of the top reasons customers may choose not to make a Bible purchase in the store. "Some Bibles are so expensive that customers are more motivated to shop online—and sometimes they will actually tell us that."
A particular price point can lead a customer to decide not to purchase a Bible at all. Martin believes that make-or-break price point is around $50; Baker believes it is over $40 for a text Bible and over $80 for a study Bible.
Future Products
Retailers all have ideas for what new Bibles and Bible products they do—and don't—want to see.
"I'm of the opinion that we really don't need a lot of new kinds of Bibles—the shelves are overflowing with a huge variety of study and devotional Bibles," Martin says. "Customers, especially new Christians, tend to be overwhelmed when they come in the Bible department to choose."
She suggests that instead of new Bibles publishers create basic how-to-study-your-Bible guides. Baker, on the other hand, has specific Bibles and products she wants to see developed in the future.
"I would like Tyndale to create some new Bible covers for the New Living Translation. I think we could sell a lot more in that translation if we had some more choices," she says. "I would like Crossway to produce some indexed Bibles. I would like to see more from HarperCollins in the Easy Read font, not to be confused with the new Comfort Print."
McGinnis advises that for kids Bibles, "the age of the child and the size of the Bible should be directly related. Some of the kids Bibles are nice, but parents don't think their kids will want to carry a Bible that large."
When it comes to Bibles for adults, he believes the 80/20 Pareto Principle applies: "20 percent of Bible editions probably account for about 80 percent of Bible sales. Each additional Bible (or line addition) added to our inventory is going to add more costs to the store and have a smaller demand and return."
One Bible product Martin wants to see on the market is protective Bible covers that actually match the size of the Bibles. "With all of the new Bibles that continue to come out, the covers really haven't kept up in matching the sizes. We struggle to find covers—especially for the larger study Bibles and the smaller size—that will fit."

When even the liberal Associated Press suggests the stimulus isn't working as we're told, you know the bloom is coming off the Obama rose, and Americans are slowly but surely learning the destructive fiscal folly of his economic policies.
In an article reprinted in the Denver Post yesterday entitled "Stimulus jobs overcounted nationwide", two AP reporters lay out details of companies that substantially overstated the number of jobs they claimed to have "saved or created" with stimulus money.
The AP's early conclusion is that at least 1 out of 6 of the so-called 30,000 jobs "saved or created" so far is a fiction.
Let me put my big surprise face on.

'Jihadi John': Haines widow wants militant caught alive
The widow of a man killed by a masked Islamic State militant known as "Jihadi John" says she wants him caught alive.
Dragana Haines said the "last thing" she wanted for the man who had killed her husband, British aid worker David Haines, was an "honourable death".
The militant, pictured in the videos of the beheadings of Western hostages, has been named as Mohammed Emwazi, a Kuwaiti-born Briton from west London.
Mr Haines' daughter said she wanted to see "a bullet between his eyes".
Emwazi, who is in his mid-20s and was previously known to British security services, first appeared in a video last August, when he apparently killed the US journalist James Foley.
He was later thought to have been pictured in the videos of the beheadings of Mr Haines, US journalist Steven Sotloff, British taxi driver Alan Henning, and American aid worker Abdul-Rahman Kassig, also known as Peter.
Mrs Haines told the BBC she wanted him to be caught alive and not have an "honourable death" by being killed in action.
She added: "I think he needs to be put to justice, but not in that way."
However Mr Haines' daughter, Bethany, told ITV News: "I think all the families will feel closure and relief once there's a bullet between his eyes."
There have been questions about how Emwazi was able to travel to Syria and how he may have been radicalised.
Emwazi graduated from the University of Westminster in 2009 and it has been suggested he may have come into contact with extremists while he was a student there.
Student Rights, a group tackling extremism on university campuses, told BBC News it had found a number of events at the university that featured extremist Islamist preachers, and large amounts of extremist material had been shared with students.
Rupert Sutton, the group's director, said: "Given that he travelled so soon after graduating, it's entirely possible he picked up the views that led him to travel whilst he was studying."
A spokesman from the University of Westminster said it "condemned the promotion of radicalisation, terrorism and violence or threats against any member of our community".
It said the Education Act placed two competing responsibilities on universities to promote free speech and a duty to protect students from harm, but it was working with the government's Prevent strategy to tackle extremism.
BBC security correspondent Frank Gardner told Radio 4's Today programme there were questions for the security services about how "someone on a terror watch list, somebody of real concern, was able to slip out of this country and turn up in Syria like that unhindered".
While Chris Phillips, former head of the National Counter Terrorism Security Office, said the case demonstrated the need for security services to have increased powers, including access to phone records, proposed in the so-called "snoopers' charter".
He said: "It's clear also that TPIMs (Terrorism Prevention and Investigation Measures) and control orders just don't work. We need to have a way of dealing with people in this kind of situation.
"The numbers are growing and the police resources are not."
Analysis: Frank Gardner, BBC News
US and British counter-terrorism officials discovered the identity of "Jihadi John" as far back as last September. The FBI, Britain's MI5 and other intelligence agencies used a combination of voice-recognition software, interviews with former hostages and on-the-ground research in London to build up a profile of the man now revealed to be Mohammed Emwazi.
They have always declined to reveal the name for "operational reasons". Now that it's out in the public domain, it's emerged that Emwazi was well known to MI5 and that it even tried to recruit him as an informer, years before he went off to Syria to eventually join Islamic State.
The practice by intelligence agencies of approaching jihadist sympathisers to work for them is likely to continue. It's believed both Britain and the US have informers inside the Islamic State "capital" of Raqqa. Yet this seems to have been little help in stopping the actions of Mohammed Emwazi, or bringing him to justice.
Jihadist's 'typical trajectory'
Dr Afzal Ashraf, a counter-terrorism and counter-insurgency expert who advised the government on the Prevent strategy between 2009 and 2011, said people were more likely to be radicalised by groups they believed could be successful.
"One of the reasons we don't have Nazis and right-wing extremists in great numbers doing what they do is because Nazism and right-wing extremism has been discredited.
"Not many people believe they are going to change the world into that format.
"The problem is that al-Qaeda, and now IS, has demonstrated a degree of success as far as these people are concerned and they actually believe there is a possibility of success."
In each of the videos Emwazi appeared in, the militant was dressed in a black robe with a black balaclava covering all but his eyes and top of his nose.
Speaking with a British accent, he taunted Western powers before holding his knife to the hostages' necks, appearing to start cutting before the film stopped. The victims' decapitated bodies were then shown.
Earlier this month, a video in which the Japanese journalist Kenji Goto appeared to be beheaded featured the militant.
Hostages released by IS said he was one of three British jihadists guarding Westerners abducted by the group in Syria. They were known collectively as "the Beatles".
A spokesman for the family of Steven Sotloff said: "We want to sit in a courtroom, watch him sentenced and see him sent to a super-max prison."
Mr Foley's mother Diane told the Times that she forgave her son's killer.
"It saddens me, [Emwazi's] continued hatred," she said. "He felt wronged, now we hate him - now that just prolongs the hatred. We need to end it.
"As a mum I forgive him. You know, the whole thing is tragic - an ongoing tragedy."
Kasim Jameel, a friend of Mr Henning, told The Times he wanted Emwazi dead.
Mr Jameel, who led an aid convoy that was joined by Mr Henning, said: "He needs to be annihilated. I wouldn't believe in an eye for an eye but he murdered my best friend and he should be eradicated."
He added: "These people are inhumane dogs, they are worse than any other terrorist group and I don't care how he's killed, whether it's by the security services or a US drone, it might finally bring some closure."
Mohammed Emwazi's movements before heading to Syria
- 1. Aug 2009, refused entry to Tanzania: travels to Tanzania with two friends, but is refused entry at Dar es Salaam. Tanzanian police have denied Emwazi's name is on their database of suspected foreign criminals detained and deported in 2009, as he had claimed. Emwazi and his friends are put on flight to Amsterdam, where they are questioned. They return to Dover and are questioned again.
- 2. Sept 2009, travels to Kuwait for work: leaves the UK for Kuwait for work.
- 3. May/June 2010, returns to UK for holiday: he returns to the UK for an eight-day visit.
- 4. July 2010, refused re-entry to Kuwait: Emwazi returns to the UK once more for a couple of days. He is stopped at Heathrow on his return to Kuwait and told he cannot travel as his visa has expired.
- 5. 2013, travels to Syria: Emwazi changes his name to Mohammed al-Ayan and attempts to travel to Kuwait but is stopped and questioned. Three days later, he heads abroad. Police later inform his family he has travelled to Syria.
Source: Cage
In a news conference on Thursday, Asim Qureshi, the research director of the London-based lobby group Cage, which had been in contact with Emwazi over a number of years, detailed the difficulties Emwazi had faced with security services in the UK and overseas.
Mr Qureshi said Emwazi, who is understood to be about 27, had been "extremely kind, gentle and soft-spoken, the most humble young person I knew".
But Cage was told by Emwazi that he was "harassed" by security services, with later emails suggesting he was "witnessing perceived injustices everywhere", Mr Qureshi said.
However, Rafaello Pantucci, author of We Love Life As You Love Death, said the suggestion the security services may have driven Emwazi to carry out his killings was "disproportionate".
He said: "Security services asking questions and making your life a little bit difficult and ending up murdering people in this very cold-blooded way seems a very disproportionate causal link."
Profile: Cage
Cage, formerly known as Cageprisoners, is an advocacy group set up by former Guantanamo detainee Moazzem Begg.
It describes itself as "an independent organisation working to empower communities impacted by the War on Terror".
Cage has spoken out against the UK's anti-terrorism laws, describing them as draconian and targeting Muslims.
Cage campaigned for the release of the Salford taxi driver Alan Henning, before he was murdered by Islamic State militants in Syria last October.
Cage has also worked with family of Michael Adebolajo, who was convicted of killing Fusilier Lee Rigby in Woolwich in 2013.
According to Cage, Emwazi had travelled to Tanzania in May 2009 following his graduation in computer programming from the University of Westminster.
Mr Qureshi said Emwazi and two friends had planned to go on a safari but once they landed in Dar es Salaam they were detained by police and held overnight.
Tanzanian police appeared to contradict this account and said Mohammed Emwazi's name was not in their database of suspected foreign criminals detained and deported in 2009, though they said he might have been using another identity or forged travel
Emwazi then ended up flying to Amsterdam, in the Netherlands, where he claimed to be met by British intelligence agents from MI5 who accused him of trying to travel to Somalia, where the jihadist group al-Shabab operates. He denied the accusation and said the agents had tried to recruit him before allowing him to return to the UK.
In early 2013, at his father's suggestion, Emwazi changed his name by deed poll to Mohammed al-Ayan, Cage said.
Emwazi was believed to have travelled to Syria around 2013 and later joined IS, which has declared the creation of a "caliphate" in the large swathes of Syria and neighbouring Iraq it controls.
A spokeswoman for Prime Minister David Cameron would not confirm or deny the latest reports, adding that the police and security services were working hard to find those responsible for the murder of the British hostages.
British police have not commented on the identity of the militant known as "Jihadi John", citing ongoing inquiries.

text: The winter ritual of preparing the sheds for lambing has begun. The same wooden barrier that Miriam made with her grandfather Dave in 1998 is fixed into place, still bearing the carved words "Made by Miriam Jane, Valentine's Day 1998", all glossy now covered with years of oil from the fleeces of jostling sheep. Huge bales of yellow straw have been rolled around the floor of the shed, the water trough cleaned out and filled with clear fresh water and the sheep have come in. Rob has gone through them with Samuel, checking their udders to see how far away they are from lambing and separating them in the sheep race; those close to lambing on the right and those further off go into the pen on the left, they will go back out into the fields for a few more weeks. It's quite early to bring them in with the mild weather, always a danger of pneumonia, but Rob has decided with the threat of heavy rain and storms that it will be better for the sheep and the land this way.

I have been out of the harmful and dangerous environment I grew up in for one year and ten months now, but the depression and anxiety of being in that house, with that person, is still sticking around. Not only is it just sticking about, but it has only become worse. Why? I do not know. I feel safe in the house I am in now, I am not scared of coming home anymore, I finally have a house where I can live in without any critical judgments.
'It takes times' they say, which great and all but, life doesn't wait for any mental illness to calm down to a livable state. In the meantime, I will have to get used to the numerous panic attacks, feelings of being lethargic, and not being able to live life as I should be allowed too.
The similarities of the situation are related to those of a relationship break up. Being reliable on an individual for a period, and then having to readjust yourself when split, is like being used to a bitter environment and then adapting to a new environment. Even though the environment now is not in danger, my brain doesn't realise that. My mind is familiar with constant emotional abuse hurled hourly; my mind is in a different space, and when you are in a different place that you aren't accustomed to you can get anxious.
Maybe that is why it is hard to move on if you're not over it. Sadly I am used to living in an environment for 18 years that was unhealthy, but also one where severe anxiety and depression developed. Recovering for the past two years doesn't vanish the 18 years of agony beforehand. So it does take time, I haven't recovered yet, and it is up in the air when I will. I need to reprogram my brain, know that I am safe now being in this unknown space I call home. Maybe my brain will realise this, and I hope it is sooner than later.
This post is part of a series where I will be reflecting back to my younger self, and how my mental illness developed.
