Sylvie Fleury: Making it Up
Everyone is an artist when it comes to molding the self. It's been said that all women are artists, and Fleury's serene color fields are iconic testaments to this. Glowing, elementary pigments recall Mondrian or Rothko, the artist's palette-as-toolkit, and, of course, the temporary, wipe-away quality of makeup and that age old still-life maxim, omnia vanitas, translation: all is vanity.
See the full exhibition, Eye Shadows, on view at Salon 94 until December 22nd.

Disturbing new evidence suggests the CIA fed faulty intelligence to handpicked journalists to win support for the war against Iraq.
The defection of Iraqi engineer Adnan al Haideri in 2001 was a massive coup for the White House. "He was probably the single most significant defector who came out of Iraq," states an INC spokesman. Al Haideri claimed to have been hired by Saddam Hussein to build facilities for testing WMD. His story was widely circulated and used to justify the war. Unfortunately, it now appears that his remarkable testimony was a lie. Not one of the hundreds of bunkers detailed by him has been found. "Al Haideri's evidence is a perfect example of the kind of garbage that was disseminated by Ahmed Chalabi," states former weapons inspector Scott Ritter. New information has also emerged about the way Al Haideri's story was leaked to the media. "They misled us," states Ritter "Thousands of innocent Iraqis perished in a war that didn't need to be fought."

I have a special honour today to be a guest desginer over at Lindy's gang blog. It's such a happy occasion for me! Those who know my work a bit know that I love to make off the page projects. And I love to create stories with them! I tried to do the same with my today's project. I altered a coffee maker which we weren't using anymore and added a cup of coffee and some cupcakes and sweets, all mixed media made. There is everything one needs for a perfect relaxed afternoon with friends.
I first made a coffee maker which I covered with white gesso and white crackle paste. I colored it with several coats of Lindy's Starburst sprays, you can find in their online shop:
- Icy Primrose Gold for the first coat,
- Cocklebells Coral for some shading here and there,
- Bratwurst Brown Magical Shaker and Cajun Carnelian Red Magical to emphasize some parts.
The coffee cup is colored with my favourite shades of Lindy's:
- Sassy Sapphire for the base coat
- Tibetan Poppy Teal for some highlights.
I used a bit lighter shade of blue for the cupcake trays - TiffanyLou Blue.
I found Creme Brulee Cream Starburst perfect for coloring of my whipped cream on top of the cupcakes and coffee. And I used Bayou Boogie Gold Magical for the batter and Bratwurst Brown Magical Shaker for the coffee. The coffee stains on the tray are made with Bratwurst Brown Magical Shaker mixed with some gel medium and some white texture paste and applied through a stencil. I've also added some additional color to the paper flowers, because I wanted them to match perfectly with the rest of the project. I used Bayou Boogie Gold for the yellow roses and Cajun Carnelian red for the orange roses.
In this project I paired amazing Lindy's with another amazing product - Graphic 45 papers. The Cafe Parisian collection was just perfect for the occasion.
There is a detailed video tutorial available on my youtube channel so you can follow through if you'd like to. :) I hope you'll like my project and that it maybe inspires you somehow!
Have a great day!
Hugs, Aleksandra

Woven Stockings, Caucasus, 700 CE
Really old, really cool knit sock from about 1100 - 1200
Click to make bigger.
This one is a bit smaller, but just as cool
My favorite version of an afterthought/inserted/pocket heel. (Full information about making this heel is in my book, Sock Architecture, and my Craftsy class.) If you watch the Craftsy class, you get to see me get REALLY excited when the heel bone and the thumb bone on a model skeleton are the same length.

During WWII, few military aviation garments were purpose made for women, but on the 4th May 1944, the 'Type B-17 Intermediate Flying Jacket, Nurses', was standardised. (The word 'nurses', rather than 'womens', was often used in US military nomenclature - it did not necessarily mean that the person wearing the garment was a nurse).
By 1944 the well established all-women aviation unit W.A.S.P. (Women Airforce Service Pilots) were in dire need of decent kit. Wearing a mix of various odd garments - including men's flight jackets - it was clear that a dedicated flight jacket for women was necessary.
The WASP's proved themselves to be exemplary pilots, and an important integral part of the USAAF. Indeed, most of them had more experience in flying different aircraft types than the men. WASPs were utilized in non-combat roles such as delivering aircraft from factories to the airfields - from P-51 fighters to B-17 bombers - logging more than 6 million flying hours between them.
Fundamentally a female version of the men's Type B-15, the B-17 was made of exactly the same materials as its male counterpart; Olive Drab cloth fabric for the shell, with mouton fleece collar and Alpaca pile for the lining.
Our reproduction is the first of its kind ever offered, and every detail has been perfectly reproduced. The cut of course is flattering to the female form with its distinctive 40's styling; shorter than the B-15 with narrowed waist and contoured bust, as well as right-over-left closure.
Available in even sizes: 8 - 14
NOTE: Jackets that are personalised with insignia, or that are Time Worn® (where Time Worn® is optional), are non-returnable
Please be aware this is only a representation of the final product. If any insignia is added to the product the jacket is non returnable.

Productivity and Space Camp: My Interview with Austinights
Awesome, i love the interviews! 🙂
Hey! Great interview, Nick. You are our teacher and friend
I never listened to teachers much but somehow I can listen for hours to your passionate stories… Thanks…
Your interview is very gooooooooood!!
I love that when I put this mp3 into my dropbox to listen to it on my iPod on my way to work, it was instantly uploaded because someone else already did 🙂
Excellent, I like this interview
Hey Nick,
Sorry man but i just came across this reel and i had to link it cuz i think this guy is a jerk.
All i see here is Nick and Andrews tutorials compiled in one nasty reel, shame on you!!!
wow. that reel is a nice retrospective of Nick's work… some great tutorials in there I'd totally forgotten about.
I think Nick should just do tutorials on how to use the tool like Simmon. Easy and short..
Andrew I think Nick is doing fine he is a standup guy credits everyone and he is actually breaking things down with his own thinking process, Who in this forsaken industry hasn't seen work and try and learn from others technique? Look at the bullet time effect these techniques were around way before the matrix but they took those techniques and brought them into a whole new one. That is something you can't teach. So Keep it up Nick!!!!!
Great interview. Seems like you need someone to discuss with to keep you on mind track 🙂 lots of these things you've talked about several times, but it were great new info here. Keep up doing good tutorials!:D

Asparagus is usually the first--and only--shoot that people know. It is actually in the Lily family, and is very ancient. The easiest way to grow asparagus is in a permanent strawberry patch. Prepare the ground well, double-digging it and putting compost in the bottom, as well as mixing compost with the soil as you replace it. The asparagus roots are set about 8'' below ground level and on 12'' centers in the bed. Add soil as the shoots emerge, but do not bury them. Water twice weekly. Do not harvest until the third spring. Asparagus is usually harvested until June and then allowed to rest until the next year, but you can get two crops if you cut half the patch from April to June and the other half from September to frost. [In late August, cut off the stalks in the autumn half to induce more shoots to emerge.]
There are two types of Asparagus: Green and Purple. Purple Passion has a slightly nutty taste, and contains 20% more sugar, which makes them more tender than green asparagus, but Jersey Giant, a green variety, has very thick and tender spears. Most local nurseries carry asparagus roots, but be sure to get only male plants as females have thinner shoots. The male plants are considered hybrids, and include all the Jersey types. A good Asparagus website is http://www.Awaytogarden.com
Giant Solomon's Seal--Polygonatum biflorum commutatum--has large, thick shoots which DO taste like asparagus. This is a woodland native, which has leaves, rather than the feathery tops of asparagus. It, too, is in the Lily family. [The fragrant flowers look like Lily of the Valley, although the plants do not.] Polygonatum roots and shoots are edible; the rest of the plant is poisonous, which is probably why it is deer-resistant. The roots, which have been used for medicinal reasons for centuries, are actually a rhisome, rather like Iris roots. [Polygonatum is propagated by roots as the seeds sometimes take two years to germinate.] The plant likes a loose, moist, sandy, acid soil in the shade. It will benefit from a top dressing of compost as the snow melts. It is a lacy plant, about 4' tall and 3' wide. Water it three or four times a week.
Giant Solomon's Seal is available from several local nurseries, including Mel's, Judy's, and NW Seed & Pet.
You might find P.sibericum roots in a Japanese grocery store, labled ''Huan Jing'' as they are considered both medicinal and food starch. Polygonatum is not mentioned in Ratsch's Encyclopedia, or in Santillo's herbal, or in ''Trees, Shrubs, and Flowers to Know in Washington'' by Lyons, but it is found on the web in such places as Dave's Garden, http://www.solomonsseal.net and http://www.northernshade.ca
Bamboo is really a giant grass which produces edible shoots. Clumping Bamboo tastes best but is not as hardy as Running Bamboo. There are four kinds of Clumping Bamboo, and none of them are hardy to zone 4; the hardiest one, Bambusa textilis, dies at 5* so they are not an option except in a warm greenhouse. Running Bamboo is sweeter. Phyllostachys nuda is the best and can be eaten raw. The shoots taste best before they emerge from the ground; you can feel the tips with your bare feet. For longer shoots, mulch the plants.
It is very important to control bamboo plants. It is said, LOL, that the best way to do this is to plant them in a steel box on a 3'' thick concrete slab! Otherwise, surround the planting with a 4' deep barrier of sheet metal, overlapped at the seam by at least twelve inches. Good websites on growing bamboo are http://www.shweeashbamboo.com and http://www.ehow
Edible Bamboo is grown by www.burtridgenursery.com by Olympia, as well as by Shweeash. For local nurseries, call and ask for ''hardy'' bamboo.
Sea Kale -- Crambe maritima -- also has edible shoots, but they must be blanched by covering, with either mulch or with and upside-down flowerpot [plug the hole], for good flavored shoots. They resemble purple asparagus in taste as well as color. One variety is named ''Lily White.'' You can purchase roots or seeds; be sure to plant them where they will stay as you cannot get rid of them. They thrive on seaweed fertilizer, and love loamy soils, compost, and full sun. In autumn, remove the dead leaves and mulch well. The flowers have a honey fragrance. Sea Kale forms clumps about three feet high by one foot wide. Harvest the third year after planting. The leaves and flowerbuds are also edible.
Sea Kale is available from several local outlets, including Mel's, Judy's, and NW Seed & Pet. Thompson & Morgan has seeds.
Jinenjo -- Discorea japonica -- is a true yam. The shoots are eaten like asparagus; the plant also produces small aerial tubers which are edible, as well as clusters of sweet-potato-like roots at the base of the vines. It will grow from seed, divisions, or roots. [If the flowers smell of cinnamon, the plant is not Jinenjo, but is still edible.] Jienjo has medicinal properties; a good website is www.naturalmedicinalherbs.net
Jinenjo -- Yamaimo--or Kanji -- might be found at the Oriental Market, 1403 N. Division, Spokane. I found no place to order it on the web.
Fiddleheads are the shoots of the Ostrich Fern --Matteuccia struthioptera-- which grow in moist, shady places. They are propagated by plant division as the ''seeds'' are spores and are hard to sprout. Set the plants three feet apart and expect them to spread. [They can be controlled by a barrier such as used for bamboo.] The plants grow as tall as six feet. Harvest the fiddleheads in early spring, when they resemble the end of a violin; they taste best tightly curled. Boiled ten or fifteen minutes, they will taste like purple asparagus.
The Ostrich Fern grows wild in huge plantations along the shady roads--especially Burroughs Road--SW of Deer Park; it is also available at local nurseries.
Pokeweed -- Phytolacca americana -- must be blanched by mulching because if the shoots turn pink from sunlight, they are poisonous. Actually, the entire plant is poisonous! It grows to be a large bush, about 8' tall. The shoots have been used for food for centuries. They are prepared by harvesting at 6'' or less; put into cold water and bring to a boil. Discard the water. Cover with fresh boiling water and boil again. Discard the water. Repeat. Finally, simmer til tender, about ten minutes.
Phytolacca can carry viruses which attack the plants in the Lily family and the Nightshade family.
Pokeweed, also known as Poke Sallet, can be ordered from http://www.Plant Delights.com Sometimes the seeds are available on the web also. No local nurseries carry it, however.
Good King Henry --Chenopodium bonus-henricus-- or Lincolnshire Asparagus--is a spinach relative from Europe, which will grow in the shade. It will produce shoots 20 days before asparagus if given a rich soil with plenty of compost; it produces shoots for about three months. The plant resembles a large spinach plant; it does need to be watered. Seeds are available from www.fedcoseeds.com

Since childhood, I have been interested in creating my very own Garden of Eden. This used to be called ''homesteading'' and I have a roomful of books and magazines on the subject, [as well as a subscription to www.LDSAVOW.com] which includes natural medicine and preparedness.
I currently maintain two places: My elderly, demented husband's ten acres south of Deer Park, and my lease in the woods near Reardan, in a condominium known as Tolstoy Farm. I am, in between trips to Spokane, LOL, a researcher and a writer [mainly New Mexico genealogy at present] and am longing for the day I can go back home. [Home is a cottage at the top of a mountain in the bottom of a canyon inside a wheatfield where the vibes from the swaying pine trees calm me down and keep me sane....]
oops! I left out Good King Henry, or Lincolnshire Asparagus...
Also, when your sunchoke tubers begin to sprout because you have too many of them saved to eat, just snap off the sprouts, wash them and dump them in a pan of boiling water. Cooked a few minutes, they have the taste and texture of bean sprouts.

WOW! Thanks Earthchild for a wealth of information on Edible Shoots. Especially by including references to where to buy seed or roots locally or even the roads in our area where you can find them.
Please keep it coming. This is exactly what this website is intended to do. You are my star of the week... not that that means anything. :)

This past weekend I went to see Suicide Squad, DC Comics' latest attempt to deliver an entertaining comic-book-based movie. After the bizarrely-inept Batman vs. Superman tome earlier in the year, I thought this movie would render my faith in DC Comics anew, but after reading the reviews going into the movie, I was worried. The critics shredded the movie to bits questioning its very existence.
The good news: the movie isn't as bad as the critics say. It's entertaining at the very least, but it could have been a whole lot better had the script been better written. Maybe DC Comics should invest in winning over some of the writers from the Marvel movies, which are much better and way more entertaining. Marvel has the formula right, and I think it's due to the scripts.
Suicide Squad suffers primarily from too many characters hastily introduced in a frenetic script that allows little time for an emotional connection to be made with the audience. Sure, the Joker is in the movie and everyone is familiar with him, but he's really part of a subplot, not the main dish. The most interesting characters – arguably Deadshot and Harley Quinn – are thrown onto the screen and pushed aside quickly for the others to make their entrance. Then, it's off to the races to stop the evil Enchantress. I'm all for fast-paced, fun movies, but give me something to hang onto that keeps my interest, like a really good character I can root for (yes, even a movie about villains can have heroes).
All of this got me thinking about the books I've read this year and why certain ones held my attention, while others did not. I read Robert Dugoni's Tracy Crosswhite series and thoroughly enjoyed it because I connected with the Crosswhite character. She is someone I can root for and someone I care about. The character really struck me emotionally, which made me enjoy the books immensely. Every Wally Lamb and Khaled Hosseini book I've read also connected with me emotionally. I'm eagerly awaiting Lamb's latest release this November because I know it will be good. His ability to make me care about the characters is paramount to my enjoyment.
If this is important to me as a reader, then it has to be important to me as a writer. Do my stories connect emotionally with the reader? Why or why not? I have to ask myself these questions. Do I have an emotional center to each of my books? If I don't, then I know I need to re-write them. Even mindlessly fun movies can teach me a thing or two about good writing.
To be fair, I enjoyed Suicide Squad in spite of its script flaws. It could have been better, but for some good summer fun, it fit the bill, but I do hope DC Comics gets its act together. I have high hopes for Justice League next year. My review won't be so kind if they screw that up.

When you're learning a foreign language, you're often wondering: what does it mean? when to apply which grammar rule? where to put this or that word? why is the proper pronunciation so difficult to master? I'm sure you, dear learner, have asked yourself these questions hundreds of times. And although I would love to answer them for you, I simply can't. But instead, I can tell you (all) about the WH-words in Kajin Ṃajeḷ. Interested?
We all know what WH-words are – they are the words we put at the beginning of an English question when we want to hear something more than a short "yes" or "no" as an answer. They are also called "interrogatives" because, well let's be honest here, we use them when we intend to interrogate others. (I'm kidding, of course. We use them to ask for specific information.)
Obviously, WH-questions exist in every language, including Marshallese. I was pleasantly surprised (yet again) when I discovered that they are quite easy to make. Not as easy as in English, but still easy.
So let me introduce to you the basic question words in Kajin Ṃajeḷ.
ta – what? do what?
et – do what?
ia – where?
ñāāt – when?
wōn – who?
etke – why?
jete – how many?
As you can see, "how" and "how much" are missing from the list. I have read in my textbook that they work a little differently (hmm…), so I will probably get acquainted with them later on.
Unlike in English, almost all of the above question words are placed somewhere near the end (usually at the very end) of the sentence. "Etke" is the only exception to this rule – it always goes at the beginning.
Interesting is the fact that even though I am not 100 percent certain where exactly I should put a chosen word, I somehow manage to create correct questions. Which I am ecstatic about, because this might mean I am beginning to develop Marshallese language intuition.
Now, if you allow me, I would like to ask you a few things. I hope I am not being too intrusive.
Koṃij itok jān ia? [Where are you from?]
Koṃar ḷotak ñāāt? [When were you born?]
Koṃij jokwe ippan̄ wōn? [Who do you live with?]
Koṃ jeḷā jete kajin? [How many languages do you speak?]
Koṃij pād ia kiiō? [Where are you now?]
Koṃij et? [What are you doing?]
I can also ask you this:
Wōn in Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner? [Who is Kathy Jetnil-Kijiner?]
(She is an extremely talented Marshallese poet.)
Ta in "bwiro"? [What is "bwiro"?]
(It is a Marshallese dish made from mā [breadfruit].)
"Wōn in …" and "Ta in …" are special constructions that you can use if you want to say "Who is …?" or "What is …?". Very convenient, isn't it? Actually, there are two more question words in Kajin Ṃajeḷ that will make your life easier – "ewi" and "erri". The former is translated as "Where is she/he/it?" or "Where is …?" and the latter as "Where are they?" or "Where are ….?". So instead of a long(ish) "Junior epād ia?" [Where is Junior?], you can simply ask: "Ewi Junior?" and it will mean exactly the same thing.
So, WH-questions – check! They turned out to be quite alright. I'm pretty sure there is a lot more to discover in the question department – I have no idea how to make subject questions, for example – but I'll take it slow. One step at a time is what they say. I don't really have to rush forward. What I have to do is practise, practise, practise. Because practice makes perfect.
I must tell you, though, that now when I know how to make statements, negatives, and questions, I feel a bit more competent if you will. I have already gone through a large portion of grammar and it shows. Of course, I am still at the very beginning of my journey, but I literally feel that I'm making progress. Funny how the ability to make (uncomplicated) questions can boost your language confidence. For some people it may be nothing (my friends are constantly laughing at me), but if you're trying (hard!) to learn any skill, the smallest success is a huge reason to smile.

Aug 18 (PTI) With just 45 days left for the Commonwealth Games and many key projects yet to be completed, Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit tonight said she was still "nervous" about the preparations."It is normal to be nervous till completion of all the works related to the event," Dikshit said when asked whether she was still nervous about the Games.She said some works have been affected due to rains in the last few days.
Dikshit also took a pot shot at the media for portraying a negative picture of the preparations."If you find something wrong then you keep showing them repeatedly," she said, pointing towards the electronic media.On several occasions in last few months, she had said that she was "nervous" about preparations for the mega event.
Dikshit has been under attack from various quarters for the delay in completion of key projects.PTI Reports, Already caught in corruption scandals, the Commonwealth Games faced another controversy with reports today claiming that original bid documents of the Delhi event were allegedly tampered with to help Suresh Kalmadi become chairman of the Organising Committee (OC).
A CNN-IBN report while raising questions over the legitimacy of the OC headed by Kalmadi, who is the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) President, claimed that the original bid documents submitted to 72 Commonwealth countries in 2003 were allegedly tampered with.
The report said that in the original bid cleared by the Vajpayee government in 2003, the Chairman of the CWG OC was to have been nominated by the government, while the IOA president's position was to be that of Vice Chairman.
PTI reports In the wake of the controversy surrounding the forthcoming Commonwealth Games (CWG), an Olympian has suggested that the October 3-14 megaevent's theme song should be alike the popular song of late 1980's "Mile sur mera tumhara".
The multi-lingual unity song composed by Ashok Patki and lyricist Piyush Pandey was developed by Lok Seva Sanchar Parishad and promoted by Doordarshan in 1988.
It was not only popular but also generated patriotism among the Indians, felt Harbhajan Singh, who was the first Indian to have the distinction of representing the country in two disciplines (basketball and handball) in international meets meet, including the 1980 Moscow Olympics.
BJP demand resignation of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit
BJP workers staged a demonstration close to the Delhi Assembly on Tuesday demanding resignation of Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit for the alleged corruption in the Commonwealth Games, demonstration led by the BJP Delhi president Vijender Gupta and Leader of the Opposition in Delhi Assembly V. K. Malhotra.To disperse and stop the workers police used water cannons as they broke through two police barriers.Delhi BJP unit reports said about 100 party workers were injured. BJP level charges that police lathi-charged the women in the crowd, demonstrators assembled with the intention of gheraoing the Delhi Assembly, where the monsoon session has begun on Tuesday.

The area on the southern shore of Lake Erie extending just west of Cleveland, Ohio to Buffalo, New York is commonly referred to as "Steelhead Alley" and for good reason. This region contains some of the most productive steelhead tributary streams and rivers in the Great Lakes region.
If you are looking for the best places to fish in Steelhead Alley, you're in luck. We've put together this interactive map of the best steelhead rivers in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York to help you explore the area. Click on the map markers for information on stream access and to get directions.
Click the map icons to get directions to fishing spots, boat ramps and real-time USGS stream flow data
Steelhead Alley includes tributaries to Lake Erie in Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York that receive two major runs of steelhead in the Spring and Fall.
Reel Action Fly Fishing shows us what fishing in Steelhead Alley is all about. Ready to go?
Ohio's primary steelhead rivers are Chagrin River, Conneaut Creek, Grand River, Rocky River and Vermilion River. Several other rivers including Arcola Creek, Ashtabula River, Beaver Creek, Black River, Cold Creek, Cowles Creek, Cuyahoga River, Euclid Creek, French Creek, Huron River, Turkey Creek, Wheeler Creek get runs of stray steelhead.
Rivers in each state that receive steelhead runs are listed below. Click on the links provided for more information about each river including maps detailing stream access, stream flow charts and steelhead fishing reports.

New Fly Fisher host Colin McKeown joins expert steelhead angler Jeff Blood to learn some excellent nymphing techniques for Lake Erie steelhead.
You can make steelhead fishing as complicated as you like or keep it pretty simple.
There are a number of rod-and-reel setups that are typical of Steelhead anglers, including spinning, noodle, fly, spey and center-pin setups.
If you're fly fishing, a single-handed, 9-ft or 10-ft, 7- or 8-wt rod and large arbor reel with a good drag and floating line is an excellent choice. This setup is great for fishing tandem nymph rigs which is a popular method in Steelhead Alley.
If you are into swinging flies, an 11-ft switch rod or 12-ft double-hand spey rod makes life a lot easier.
Fly patterns that mimic two of Steelhead Alley's most fed-upon bait fish – the Emerald Shiner and Gizzard Shad, are very popular when fishing on the swing.

We are still alive and well over here - there's so much I want to catch up on, but the reality is that it's tax season and I work for an accounting firm - aka my life belongs to work right now, which I absolutely adore. In other news, did I mention I work for an accounting firm before - because it's true and it's awesome. I've been there about 9 months, it's less than 5 minutes away from home and everyone I work with rocks, which makes up for the fact that tax season consumes my life #amiright.
Also, this is what a Costco run looks like when you are buying food for an office. It doesn't look like much, but it overfills the cart and fills the back of my car. Every Tuesday, man.
Cheers to tax season and caffeine... huzzah!

CRANBURY, N.J., March 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Palatin Technologies, Inc. (NYSE Alternext US: PTN) reported that its exchange listing compliance plan submitted on January 23, 2009 has been accepted by the NYSE Alternext US LLC (the "Exchange," formerly known as the American Stock Exchange).
As reported on December 30, 2008, Palatin received notice from the Exchange that it was not in compliance with certain continued listing requirements under Sections 1003(a)(ii) and (iii) of the Exchange's Company Guide related to historical operating losses and shareholders' equity levels. This notice is described in more detail in Palatin's report on Form 8-K which was filed on December 30, 2008.
On February 27, 2009, the Exchange notified Palatin that it had accepted Palatin's plan for regaining compliance with the continued listing requirements of Sections 1003(a)(ii) and (iii), and that Palatin's listing on the Exchange was being continued pursuant to an extension.
Palatin may be able to continue its listing on the Exchange during the plan period through June 23, 2010, subject to periodic review by the Exchange to determine if Palatin is making progress consistent with the plan. Failure to make progress consistent with the plan or to regain compliance with the continued listing standards by June 23, 2010 could result in Palatin's shares being delisted from the Exchange. If Palatin's common stock was ultimately delisted from the Exchange, it would be expected to trade on the over-the-counter market, such as the OTC Bulletin Board securities market, a regulated quotation service that provides quotes, sale prices and volume information in over-the-counter equity securities.

Topic Alert: As usual, postings in the God in Therapy series discuss God and religion.
Do you ever "do" Kabbalah when you do psychotherapy?
Are you and Madonna the same religion?
Is Kabbalah Christian or Jewish?
These recent questions (from a patient and two colleagues, in that order) inspired this post. Let's start by discussing what Kabbalah isn't.
Kabbalah, no offense to pop stars and gurus, is not really about red strings and magical powers. And, though Jewish in origin, Kabbalah is absolutely not a religion—that is a flinch-making but prevalent misnomer. Authentic Kabbalists are in rare supply and don't advertise—and certainly don't sell "Kabbalah tee shirts" or magical soft drinks in cans or bottles. There is also no central dispenser of authentic Kabbalah wisdom, and those that insist that there is have an extremely limited understanding of the subject.
Simply put: Kabbalah is an esoteric part of the body of work that makes up Jewish wisdom and is not a religious or spiritual or psychological quick fix, though some aspects of it may enrich one's understanding of psychology, human nature, and self.
In order to understand what comprises Kabbalah, a brief explanation of the taxonomy of Jewish teachings is in order. Jewish teachings comprise two main divisions (and many minor ones): The written word, which includes the Torah aka the Hebrew Bible (or what some call rather inappropriately, the "Old" Testament); and the oral tradition, which as it happens, is also written.
The oral tradition includes the Biblical commentaries that elucidate the sometimes terse, sometimes dense text of the Bible. If the written Torah can be compared to a legal brief (albeit one with a great storyline), the oral Torah is an extremely detailed explanation of that legal brief. For example, the Bible says: Honor thy father and mother, and the oral teachings go into massive detail about exactly how one is to go about doing so, in a variety of circumstances (including what to do if one's parents are abusive or neglectful; notice the term is "honor" not love).
The oral teachings also offer psychological explanations about why doing so is important not only for society, but for one's own emotional growth. Another example would be, "Keep the Sabbath", certainly a nearly meaningless phrase without the enormous body of work that explains what keeping the Sabbath entails. One can easily be forgiven for thinking some of the Biblical injunctions trite or arbitrary if he is unfamiliar with at least some of the numerous ancient exegeses.
These exegeses are made up of not only detailed explanations of laws and statutes and their applications, debate, practical and mystical explanations, and deep analysis, but also include a special, complex variety of texts containing esoteric and mystical insights into the meanings of the written Bible, as well as the meaning of life, and beyond. This esoteric and mystical body of work is known collectively as Kabbalah. The word Kabbalah is literally translated as "received" or "reception".
Probably the most famous Kabbalistic text is the Zohar (translated as "Splendor" or "Radiance") which is a commentary that offers a glimpse into the inner soul of the Bible. Some Kabbalastic texts are dated from the Middle Ages; some are dated from well before Mt. Sinai; and some, much, much earlier. In fact, some of the texts are attributed to Abraham, Adam, and even the Angels.
The problem that currently exists is similar to the problem an old American Native friend from Nevada has with, "weekend pow-wowers" who he believes misinterpret Native teachings. "The pow-wows don't teach them much," he says. "They aren't prepared to get a lot out of them." Not that he is against others attending pow-wows; he welcomes their interest. He's just against them "poaching American Indian customs," as he puts it.
He says poaching can make a mockery—or worse—of spirituality and religion. A case in point was when the Lakota tribe sued the Angel Valley Retreat Center leaders for impersonating American Indians [sic] and desecrating the sacred sweat lodge ceremony, thereby causing the death of three people.

Clarissa Dirks
Clarissa Dirks hosted the regional National Academies Summer Institute for Undergraduate Science Education at Evergreen in early September, funded by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute. Most of the 48 participants were faculty from institutions on the West Coast of the U.S.; the rest were postdocs, graduate students, and a few Evergreen undergraduates applying for the MIT program. Clarissa co-organized and held the second NSF-funded Faculty Institute for Reforming Science Teaching IV, a program that trains and mentors postdocs from around the country in best practices in teaching science. With additional funding from NSF, she co-founded and organized the first meeting of the Society for the Advancement of Biology Education Research held at the University of Minnesota. More than 300 attendees presented their research. Based on her role as a National Academies Committee Member for Dual Use Education, and with funding from the U.S. Dept. of State, Clarissa helped run a training workshop in Trieste, Italy for faculty from over 15 countries.

In June Clarissa received a $147,574 NSF grant to develop a science process and reasoning skills
Dave Hitchens
Leave it to Dave Hitchens, a pioneer faculty member at The Evergreen State College, to find a way to turn his end-of-life experience into his ultimate teaching moment." So wrote Olympian reporter John Dodge in this touching front-page article about Dave and his experiences in hospice care: "41-year Evergreen professor finds way to keep teaching in final days of his life."
Don Foran
Don Foran had his proposal accepted for a presentation at the April American Culture Association and American Pop Culture Association national conference in Boston: "'But for fate and ban': John Claggart and Billy Budd's Dilemma in Light of Kenji Yoshino's Covering: The Hidden Assault on Our Civil Rights."
Doug Schuler
Doug Schuler's paper, "Pattern Workshops and Pattern Games: Generating Civic Intelligence with the Liberating Voices Pattern Language," was accepted for the Portland Urban Architecture Research Laboratory's 2011 international conference. Doug's co-authors are Ken Gillgren and current Evergreen student Michael O'Neil. The paper and the workshop they will be convening are based on workshops and games developed at Evergreen. Doug will participate in a plenary panel discussion on technology at the National Outreach Scholarship Conference at Michigan State University in Lansing on Oct. 3. Doug and Evergreen alumnus Justin Smith have been invited to contribute a chapter on "Civic Intelligence and Sustainable Food Culture" for Eat, Cook, Grow: Mixing Human-Computer Interactions with Human-Food Interactions, a book to be published by MIT Press. Doug reports that his Public Sphere Project has developed "Activist Mirror," a Facebook game that uses pattern cards from Doug's Liberating Voices book to help people explore what roles they are most likely to play in a social engagement. Finally, the project's e-Liberate, a system that supports meetings online using Robert's Rules of Order, has now been ported to our new system and is ready for testing with real groups, including any interested Evergreen students.
E.J. Zita
E.J. Zita has been conducting solar physics research with six Evergreen undergraduates at Lockheed Martin Solar and Astrophysics Lab (LMSAL) and Stanford University since summer 2009. The research is funded by the National Science Foundation. Zita collaborates with LMSAL scientist and Evergreen alumnus Neal Hurlburt '77 and with Stanford solar physicist Phil Scherrer. She studies the solar dynamo—how flows and fields interact to cause the Sun's magnetic field to flip polarity every 11 years. "Ordinarily," she writes, "we see 'solar max' during magnetic reversals, with many sunspots, flares and coronal mass ejections, and northern lights and satellite disruptions from the magnetic storms that reach Earth. This cycle's solar max is late and weak, however, because certain flows inside the Sun have changed or even disappeared." One of her research students, Nina Smith, analyzed how solar flows change in regions of tilted magnetic fields. Her work, being prepared for publication, may shed light on one aspect of the "weird solar minimum." A pair of students, Clay Showalter and Riley Rex, developed a game-based software suite called Solar Tutorial and Annotation Resource (STAR) to teach users about solar events and dynamics. Other students have analyzed data from the Solar Dynamics Observatory and Hinode (a high resolution solar space telescope), discovered interesting wave phenomena, and made images and movies for LMSAL's website. Zita performed studies of a key component of solar dynamo models (with Dr. Mausumi Dikpati and Dr. Peter Gilman at the High Altitude Observatory, National Center for Atmospheric Research, Boulder, Colo.) and discovered some surprising connections. Zita then conducted theoretical calculations to explain some of her numerical results, with Dr. Tom Bogdan, director of NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. Zita and her research students have presented their work at meetings of the American Physical Society, American Astronomical Society, and American Geological Union, often joined by students in our physics classes and Evergreen's Society of Physics Students club. She also presented her research at the International Union of Geodesy and Geophysics/ International Association of Geomagnetism and Aeronomy meeting in Australia this summer. Find out more about Zita's work at her home page.

She also gave interviews and participated in panel discussions at these events.
Frederica Bowcutt
Frederica Bowcutt's first excerpt from her book-in-progress on the natural and cultural history of a hardwood tree native to California appeared in the April 2011 issue of Environmental History (16[2]: 197-225). The article is titled "Tanoak Target: The Rise and Fall of Herbicide Use on a Common Native Tree."
Gail Tremblay
Gail Tremblay has a piece in the National Basketry Organization Biennial Juried Exhibition, "All Things Considered VI." The show is running July 30 - Dec. 11, 2011 at the Fuller Craft Museum in Brockton, Massachusetts.

Heesoon Jun
Heesoon Jun will present at the 11th Annual Diversity Challenge: Intersections of Race or Ethnic Culture with Gender or Sexual Orientation, this month in Boston. Her talk, "A Shift in Thinking: An Understanding Multiple Identities and Their Intersections," will provide concrete strategies to understand multiple identities and their intersections through shifting conventional thinking styles (e.g. hierarchical and dichotomous) to a holistic thinking style. "Relationships among multiple identities and their intersections are complex and dynamic," Heesoon says, "partly because individuals belong to privileged groups in relation to some identities and belong to oppressed groups in relation to other identities. These relationships can only be understood by using multidimensional and multilayered thinking styles that simultaneously explore multiple dimensions, multiple intersections, and variations within a single identity as well as among multiple identities and their intersections."
Hirsh Diamant
Hirsh Diamant was keynote speaker for the Eighth Annual Taoist Gathering at the Samuel Merritt University Health Education Center in Oakland, Calif. His talk focused on Practices of Immortality. Hirsh's most recent paintings and figure studies are exhibited at the DAO studio as in conjunction with Olympia Arts Walk, Oct. 7-8.

About the book Rikki Ducornet writes: "As the world swiftly disarticulates, At Element provides an intensely considered poetry of witness. Turn by turn 'imbedded in the book' and spoken 'from within the thing', At Element navigates the wasteland of Eros' impoverishment, and retrieves its fundamental fire." Schwartz's radio program, Cross Cultural Poetics, recently completed its 238th show, all of which are available at the program's online archive.

Mukti Khanna was one of five international psychologists from Israel, England, Canada and the U.S. invited by the Russian Center for the Development of Interpersonal Communications and the Russian government to present at the Festival of Practical Psychology in Moscow in April. The conference brought together 20,000 participants at the Russian Academy of Sciences in an effort to unite representatives of different schools and trends that advance practical psychology as a humanitarian tool to improve people's lives. Mukti's workshops, "The Creative Connection" and "Rainbow of Desire," used person-centered expressive art therapy and interactive theatre to explore humanity's need to create "The Other." She was invited to present an additional workshop on the main stage of the Academy of Sciences with 40 participants and 200 observers (in the photo, she's on the stage at left an in the screen behind). Mukti was interviewed by Luydmila Putina (wife of Russian premier Vladimir Putin) about integrative health and public health outreach. She gave a talk at the Moscow Pedagogical University for Psychological Studies on "Integrative Health" and several workshops in the larger Moscow area on "Moving Images." Mukti has a chapter, "Making the Invisible Visible," in The Creative Connection for Groups: Expressive Arts for Healing and Social Change, published in August by Science and Behavior Books. The chapter describes intermodal expressive arts dialogues in working through the interface of sexual orientation and religion.

ISIS Jihadists Kidnap 90 Christians In Syria
" Jihadists from the Islamic State group have kidnapped at least 90 Assyrian Christians in northeast Syria, a monitor said on Wednesday.
The abductions took place on Tuesday after IS seized two Assyrian villages from Kurdish forces in the province of Hassakeh, according to the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights.
The Britain-based monitor had no details on the missing Assyrians, who were taken from two villages — Tal Shamiram and Tal Hermuz — after they were attacked by IS.
IS has destroyed churches and Christian shrines in Syria, and demanded that Christians living under its rule pay a tax known as jizya."

Weekly Round Up - September 21, 2018.
More Pay Demo Projects? Federal News Radio's Jason Miller reports on what he learned about a recent OMB-sponsored summit on the future of the federal workforce. The forum explored issues such as the impact of artificial intelligence, the federal pay structure, and performance management.
Unchartered Territory. NextGov reports: "Health and Human Services Department leaders want agency offices to start sharing more data with each other, but rank-and-file employees say the rules for doing so are hazy at best. . . . With no agencywide guidance for sharing information and stiff penalties for breaking confidentiality and patient privacy laws, HHS employees are reluctant to hand over data to other organizations even within the same department, according to a report by the HHS chief technology officer."
VA Appeals Decisions Backlog Declines. Federal News Radio reports: "The Veterans Affairs Department said it has surpassed its goal this year of delivering more than 81,000 appeals decisions on claims for disability benefits and services. . . . In doing so, VA said it delivered 28,000 more appeals decisions in fiscal 2018 than in fiscal 2017, a 52 percent increase."
Using Measures to Manage (Not!). In a op-ed for Government Executive, Howard Risher writes: "The General Accountability Office reconfirmed a pervasive management problem in its new report in the Managing for Results series. The title defines the problem: "Governmentwide Actions Needed to Improve Agencies' Use of Performance Information in Decision Making." This is not a new theme for GAO but apparently their past recommendations have had minimal impact. Despite what seems to be continuous attention, the use of metrics has declined, not improved, over the past decade."
Special Edition of The Business of Government Hour - Leaders Speak on Performance Management in Government
Performance management initiatives over the past two decades helped shift the conversation within and across U.S. government agencies—from a focus on measuring program activities and outputs to a focus on achieving mission outcomes. Join host Michael Keegan next week for a Special Edition of The Business of Government Hour exploring the evolution of Performance Management in Government.

New Bidadari Condo . The Addition Condo Launch
The Botanique @ Bartley is fully sold out. If you missed getting a unit there, and like the Bidadari estate neighbourhood, you might want to consider the Addition launch at Potong Pasir MRT station, on the other side of Bidadari.
The best part thing about this project, is that it is on freehold tenure. On top of that, it is only 3 minutes walk from an MRT station, and most of that is sheltered. That's because the Addition condo is just opposite Poiz Centre, a neighbourhood mall that connects directly to Potong Pasir MRT station. So like Botanique, this is a city fringe location as well.
The other attraction about this place, is that it is within a couple of doors from St Andrews School, both the junior and senior sections, and well within the all-important 1km radius. This should appeal to families with young boys. Perhaps that is why the Addition does not have one bedders, only 2 and 3 bedroom units.
The flip side is that this is basically a no-frills, smallish project. With only 26 units on a land area of 9,667 sq ft, there are not many facilities. It depends on what is important to you. Because other than the smallness of the project accompanied by a small pool, it has almost everything else. Including shops opposite it at Poiz Centre, a Fairprice supermarket and bank behind that, and lots of eating outlets around. Ranging from a hawker centre and old coffeeshops, to trendy joints across the road at The Venue Shoppes.
The Addition Launch . Pricing Comparisions
Besides that, the price is pretty attractive too. The developer, Oxley Holdings, is pricing this project to sell out quickly. Brand new freehold units here start at $1.08M for a 2 bedder, and $1.385M for a 3 bedder. That works out to an average of $1,7xx to $1,8xx PSF, which is comparable to the pricing for 99 year leasehold launches nearby such as at Park Colonial, and cheaper than for the upcoming Woodleigh Residences.
Park Colonial has sold over 55% of its units in under 2 months from its 5th July 2018 launch date, so there is obviously demand in this location at this pricing level. It seems like at this pricing level, the Addition condo could be a bargain, despite its lack of facilities.
If you think so, and would like to view the Addition condo showflat, just jump over to the website and drop a line to make an appointment. The floor plan brochure is ready, so we will send that to you as well.
Latest Update: A large chunk of this project has been sold, and there are not many units left. So don't delay if you think you might want to take a look at this project before it sells out.

Marco Kurz admitted he was disappointed with the reaction from his players after falling behind against Newcastle Jets just after half-time at Coopers Stadium on Saturday.
Adelaide United suffered their third straight loss of the season following a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle in the Remembrance Round clash.
Kurz revealed he was delighted with the way his team started proceedings after dominating the opening 35 minutes.
The Jets struggled to get out of their half and Nikola Mileusnic deservedly gave Adelaide the lead with a clinical finish in the 24th minute.
"The start today was very good," Kurz explained in the post-game press conference.
"I think the first thirty-five minutes we had the control of the game and we created a couple of chances.
"And today we finished and we scored, that was positive.
"But then Newcastle made more pressure and in these moments we dropped too far back.
"And again after a set-piece we gave the opponent a chance to score."
Ernie Merrick's men equalised on the stroke of half-time through Ben Kantarovski off a short corner routine.
And the visitors grabbed the advantage when Andrew Nabbout intercepted an errant back pass to easily score into an empty net.
Despite the mistake, Kurz was more incensed about the lack of a response and inability from his players to remain structured across the field.
"… I was not angry about the mistake, I was angry about the ten minutes after the mistake," he said.
"Because we lost the complete discipline out of our positions and that cannot happen.
"I said to the players, 'what if we got a penalty and it's not a penalty and then we stopped playing?'
"We have forty-five minutes plus overtime to score a goal or to get a draw or to win and that's for me the biggest error today.
"In the last fifteen, twenty minutes we had chances but no luck … We are not happy with the result."
Adelaide must now turn their attention to the match against Central Coast Mariners on Thursday night.
Kurz said he and the coaching staff will closely analyse the Jets' match in order to improve their performance against the Gosford-based club.
"We are professional players and we start again, every game is the same as when we win games," he said.
"… I think it's our job to analyse the game (thoroughly against Newcastle) to learn in Central Coast and be better.
"When we travel to Central Coast we want to win, we play for three points and I hope we play better and we have a chance for the points."
Adelaide United will face Central Coast Mariners in Round 7 of the Hyundai A-League 2017/18 season on Thursday, 16 November at Central Coast Stadium. Kick-off is at 7.20pm ACDT.

The Holidays are here, and it's the time of year to be thankful. The students at Francis Howell Union (FHU) are dedicating their time to giving back, in addition to giving thanks. Together with the organization "Kids Against Hunger," FHU students participated in a food packing event on Tuesday, Nov. 22. After only two hours, the students had put together 10,800 food packages, which is enough to feed 30 people every day for one year, according to FHU business teacher John Omoresemi.
Kids Against Hunger supports starving children in over 60 countries, including the US, in their efforts to end world hunger. When Omoresemi met Jerry and Marilyn Lantz, who are sponsors of Kids Against Hunger, he immediately knew that this would provide his students with a meaningful service project opportunity. "One of those goals behind this service project is giving students the opportunity to give back – the gift of their time and effort to help the poor in a different country," Omoresemi said.
This year, the food packages were shipped to starving children and their families in Haiti. Before the packing event began, Omoresemi said he reminded the students of the hurricane and other natural disasters that have struck Haiti in the past, which made the experience even more meaningful.
"Most students really take time to reflect on the opportunity to help others," he said. "With music playing in the background, a healthy dose of competition to see which assembly line can pack the most, students and staff working side-by-side; it really makes the time go by fast."
Lisha Ewing, FHU's educational support counselor, reflects on this year's food packing event. "This is the third time we have done this activity, it's a humbling experience to look around and see the smiles and joy of our students having the chance to help someone else, as people have helped them," she said.
FHU senior Chrizell Wright was excited to have the chance to contribute to such a meaningful cause. "I'm very proud because knowing there are people out there who are in need, and you have the opportunity to change their lives is just so beautiful," he said. It's amazing knowing you can help so much in such a short time." Chrizell said he personally knows what it's like to be struggling, so using this chance to help others was an honor to him. "I understand how that is, so when I know I can help, I'm there. Nobody deserves to be broken down or in need of something, and helping is the least you can do."
"I think what we did was totally amazing," said senior Jayson XXX. "I'm so blessed and honored to be a part of it. I'm beyond proud that our school was able to come together and achieve this in a day. I definitely want to do this again very soon."
Omoresemi said that there are definite plans to organize even more activities such as this one, and it seems like his students can't wait to continue to get inspired and help out others in need. What a great way to do good and support a meaningful cause!

Hooked on Vinyl? How to Store Your Collection Safely
There's nothing like vinyl. Digital recordings may offer clarity, but they lack the warmth that comes from recording on vinyl. If you treasure your record collection, you know that the biggest downside of vinyl is that it can be easily damaged if it isn't stored properly.
With that in mind, here are some cleaning and storage guidelines to help ensure that your precious vinyl will sound great for years to come.
- Never leave your records out of their sleeves for longer than necessary. Dust and other particles can accumulate in the grooves and cause permanent damage. As soon as you are finished with a record, put it away to keep it safe.
- When you return a record to its sleeve, never drop it in. Doing so can cause a jacket or sleeve to split open or tear, exposing your record to the elements.
- Go through your record collection and identify any records with torn or cracked covers and sleeves. Do not use tape to repair them. Tape has a tendency to dry out and yellow. When it does, the record may end up being exposed to the adhesives on the tape as well as to dust and dirt. Instead, place the record and cover into a high-density polyethylene sleeve.
- Never stack your records one on top of the other. Vinyl is delicate and prone to cracking and warping. The weight of other records can do irreparable damage to your collection. Instead, store your records sideways so each one stands on its edge. Do not cram them in next to each other, either – give them room to breathe.
- Make sure that the shelves you use to stack your records are strong enough to hold them. Vinyl is thin and it can be easy to underestimate its weight. Vinyl records average 35 pounds per foot of shelving. If you're storing 78s, they are even heavier than that. You don't want to risk having a shelf collapse, so invest in strong shelves for the health of your records.
- Place dividers every four to six inches on the shelf, and make sure that they are set up in such a way that the records are as close to upright as possible. Records that are stored at a slant can warp.
- Avoid storing your records in places that experience big swings in temperature. Attics and basements are not good choices. High heat can cause records to warp, and cold can make them brittle. The best temperature for storing records is room temperature or slightly below. (In case you are interested, the recommendation for storing archival recordings is between 46 and 50 degrees Fahrenheit.)
- Humidity can also damage records. It is best to keep the humidity between 30% and 40% if you can. If you live in a very humid climate, you may want to invest in a dehumidifier to keep your collection safe.
- Do not store your records in a room that gets a lot of direct sunlight. Sunshine can warp and damage records.
- When cleaning your records, never use your t-shirt or a towel. Instead, use a record-cleaning brush, which gently removes dirt from the grooves as the record spins. In the event that a record needs a deeper cleaning, buy a vinyl cleaning solution and use a microfiber cloth to wipe your record clean.
As long as you follow these steps, your vinyl records will remain in pristine condition, providing you with enjoyment for many years to come.
