It was a gorgeous and sunny day at New Haven, Connecticut just after a snowy day had dusted the campus early the previous morning. We were able to tour the campus and the Native American Cultural Center at Yale with all the interesting and deep history of the place and the town.
Thank you to the Native American Cultural Center and all the native students who came to support the film screening and the lecture by Brown University faculty! We want to especially thank Tyler and his organizing efforts and thinking of us to bring us here. All the students and faculty were amazing and very warm and made us feel comfortable with their welcome song by the Blue Feather Drum Group.
Thanks to all who were able to come and make the trip to see us, feeding us with a great dinner, and asking great questions about the film!

Ever wonder what caused Peter Pan to become Peter Pan? Possible clues abound.
First, there's the official prequel, "The Little White Bird," written by Peter's creator, J. M. Barrie, and published in 1902.
In 2004, humorist Dave Barry and mystery writer Ridley Pearson created their own Peter Pan back-story. Titled "Peter and the Starcatchers," it was published by Disney subsidiary Hyperion in 2004 and has spawned an entire series of books that take place prior to Wendy's flight from the nursery to Never Land via happy thoughts and magic dust.
Now, Rick Elise ("Jersey Boys") has written a play based on the Barry/Pearson hit novel. It is part of La Jolla Playhouse's Page to Stage program, directed by Roger Rees and Alex Timbers, and presented by special arrangement with Disney Theatrical Productions, whose involvement causes one to wonder if the animated film and musical are far behind.
On a Jan. 30 rehearsal break, Rees and Timbers wolfed down their lunch and then met briefly with Village News to discuss the project. Young, dark, handsome and obviously talented, Timbers spent four seasons at Williamstown Theatre Festival, where Rees was artistic director from 2005 to 2007.
"Alex was part of a program called Leapfrog," said Rees, who trained at the Royal Shakespeare. "He did a most astonishing musical ('Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson') that went on to [Los Angeles] Center Theatre Group and is going to be done at the Public Theatre in New York this year as well. It's a fantastically imaginative, audacious piece of political theater, very musical, very modern….and you know, when you get to be my age, which is ancient, it's very good to be around young people."
Born in Wales in 1944, Rees is perhaps best known for the character Robin Colcord in the television show "Cheers." To theater folk, however, he is remembered, among others, for his Olivier- and Tony Award-winning performance in "The Life and Adventures of Nicholas Nickleby."
According to Rees, Elise and Disney producer Thomas Schumacher had the idea he and Timbers should work on "Starcatchers" a bit experimentally — "somewhat more factory theater" than the techniques Rees is familiar with from "Nickleby."
Rees said, "Ostensibly this thing is done with absolutely nothing on the stage. There is no scenery, no ship, no island or anything like that. It turns out to be a rather moving story about maturity, responsibility and the decisions that you make in life. Therefore, it applies not only to audiences contemporaneous to the leading characters, 12 and 13, but actually to anyone who's grown up through life and made a decision they regret later or [passed up] an opportunity when it came along. We all have Peter Pan inside us."
What about the bad guys? Rees turned to Timbers and asked, "Are there any bad guys?"
Timbers replied, "Not really."
Then Rees explained that the piece shows the beginnings of Capt. Hook and the Indians, how the Mermaids came to life …
"… and how Peter got to fly and all that stuff," Timbers said.
Is there flying in this show?
Rees is noncommittal. "Perhaps. Perhaps. There may be. Maybe. That's one of the things about Peter Pan. He can do that thing we all dreamed of doing when we were children."
With a company of 16 — small potatoes compared to "Nickleby" and "The War of the Roses" — "Peter and the Starcatchers" is headed by New York-based actor Adam Green in the title role and Tony Award winner Celia Keenan-Bolger ("The 20th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee") as Molly, who is a very strong protagonista and teaches Peter more than a thing or two.
"Peter and the Starcatchers" plays Feb. 13 through March 8 in the Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre at La Jolla Playhouse, 2910 La Jolla Village Drive. Youth tickets are $17.50, adult, $35. For tickets and information, visit www.lajollaplayhouse.org or call (858) 550-1010.

So Close
Posted by Jim Zeiser on Thursday, January 31, 2013,
After a week of cold, then warm and raining, I almost got to ride today. It started out this morning at around 40 degrees and sunny with just one deterrent, wind gusts up to 45 mph. I was all set to keep my string of riding months going but it was just too windy. I've taken a ride on something at least once a month since a year ago. Sadly I haven't ridden at all this month and it ends today. As a personal consolation I fired up the 50cc bike just to hear it run. It started after a few cranks ...

Really Dormant
Posted by Jim Zeiser on Friday, January 25, 2013,
The temperatures this week have hovered near zero and I walk past the garage wondering what my two wheelers think of this weather. I haven't even attempted to start anything since I fear something might break in the attempt. The last two times I started the big scooter it made a loud screeching noise that is probably the clutch engaging on cold metal. When it warmed up a little the noise vanished. I was hoping to ride the 50cc a few times to the store by now but the cold has made that impossi...

The only activity I've indulged in lately is going out to the garage and firing up the big scooter and I have to tell you it's a sad substitute to riding. We had a brief thaw this week with some light showers and incredible fog. Most of our foot of snow is gone but the weather report for the foreseeable future is for cold. It is January after all so I would expect bad weather. It's just depressing after the mild winter last year when I had already ridden a few times by now.
I have had a chanc...

Adios 2012
Posted by Jim Zeiser on Wednesday, January 2, 2013,
I hope you all had a happy New Year. I'm sitting here with the tally sheet for two wheeled commuting in 2012. While it won't knock your socks off, I'm fairly content. The 150cc scooter was used 27 times for trips to work before the cylinder head started to seriously leak and stopped it. The ill fated Yamaha 250 was used once. The Honda Rebel made eight trips while the 50cc mini-motorcycle made nine runs over the hills. Lastly we have the big scooter, Galileo, at a colossal 43 trips between th...

Get Estimates
These aren't estimates of how long it's going to take you to explode when you find the six-month-old grilled cheese sandwich glued to the underside of the entertainment center. This type of estimate is about what it'll cost to replace the stuff in your home that's on its last legs -- like the furnace, roof or water heater. You may not be prepared to overhaul worn-out items now, but knowing how much it will cost could give you an edge in negotiations. You know, they say they want a cool $10,000 off the asking price when you know an update will only cost half that.

Is the subject home health care vs. nursing home argument on you decision horizon? Cost is certainly a factor in the equation of perception.
Our research has shown that if you are looking on the low end of nursing home care, then the prices of home care (24 by 7 hours) is slightly higher. On the other hand, if you are looking for a high-end nursing home, then its cost will be 15-30% higher.
Many of our aging parents want to live on their own. According to AARP, more than 95% of seniors want to stay in their home as long as possible, even if they need help with day-to-day activities. After all, home is comfortable and familiar, and they are surrounded by memories and circumstances that make them feel safe.
There is no magical age when a senior may need help. There are many 90-year-olds who live at home and need very little help. On the other hand, there are 60 and 70-year olds who find their ability to live independently waning.
It's a hard reality for adult sons and daughters to face: when is it time to become a caregiver yourself, get help in the home, or move your parents to a nursing home or assisted living facility?
Let's explore the pros and cons of each living situation so you can make an informed decision about what is best.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Home Care
How often we have heard seniors say: "If you move me to a nursing home I will crawl up and die." The major advantage of home health care is that seniors get to "age in place" among their friends and surroundings that make them feel secure and happy.
They can maintain their freedom. The main problems with staying at home are they may need help with cleaning, meal preparation, driving, grooming and other tasks.
However, if seniors need a little help, there are various options available:
- Enlist friends or family. The chore of being a caregiver shouldn't rest on one person's shoulders. Enlist family or friends to help with tasks your aging parents find challenging. Many religious communities or organizations have volunteers who can help with driving and prepare nutritious meals. Or you can have meals delivered to the home.
- Hire in–home care. Home health care agencies such as Wood Home Care have compassionate caregivers who can come into the home on a part-time, hourly or 24/7 basis. We provide different levels of care, from personal care to dementia care. This can provide you with peace of mind knowing that someone is there to pinch hit for you. In some cases, the home care costs can be reimbursed by Medicare, Veteran's aid or other sources.
- Remote monitoring. Remote devices are now available for both emergency situations or to remind your loved ones to take their medication. Web-based tools are often available so you can know your parent's schedules and communicate with any caregivers.
If your parents want to stay in their home, make sure it is as safe as possible because falls are quite common. Do a home maintenance checklist to make sure any hazards such as loose rugs are removed. Also, it may be easier if grab bars are installed in bathrooms.
Other Senior Care Housing Options
According to a study by Clarity, seniors fear to move into a nursing home more than they fear death, mainly because of the institutional feeling and loss of freedom. However, depending on the level of care that is needed, this may be the only option.
There are many different types of senior homes, all providing different services and levels of care Medicare describes them as follows:
- Group homes or board and care homes. Adults live in a home with 10 – 12 people their age and get assistance with bathing, dressing, and using the bathroom.
- Subsidized senior housing. If your loved one has a very moderate income, there are federal and state programs that help pay for housing. Additionally, there may be help with meals and other activities like housekeeping, shopping, and doing the laundry. Residents usually live in their apartments in the complex. Rent payments are usually a percentage of your income (a sliding scale).
- Assisted living facilities mean that your loved one has his/her apartment within a building or a group of buildings, but can get help with meals, transportation, cleaning and social activities. Some of these facilities have health services on site. You pay a monthly fee for rent and utilities and a separate fee for any extras.
- Retirement Communities.The beauty of this type of community is they usually have different living options and progressive levels of care. In other words, you can start out in your home and progress to skilled nursing care when and if you need it. Many retirement communities charge a large fee before you move in plus a monthly maintenance fee.
- Skilled Nursing Facilities. If your loved one needs 24/7 care, skilled nursing facilities have nurses and doctors on site.
- Hospice Care.Ordinarily, for the terminally ill (who have six months or left to live), these facilities primarily make patient's comfortable and provide counseling for the family. As part of hospice care, you will have a team of doctors, nurses, home health aides, social workers, counselors and trained volunteers to help you and your family cope with your illness. Depending on your condition, you may get hospice care in a hospice facility, hospital, or nursing home.
The bottom line
The most important questions are: How much care do my loved one's need and how can we meet these needs considering out budget and lifestyles? Then you as a group can best determine what type of long term care would be the best!

Clare lives in a small town in England with her husband, whom she married in 1992, and her three children. Writing from an early childhood and encouraged by her teachers, she graduated from rewriting fairy stories through fanfiction to using her own original characters and enjoys writing an eclectic mix of romance, crime fiction and children's stories. When she's not writing, reading, sewing or keeping house or doing the many piles of laundry her children manage to make, she's working part time in the breakfast club at one of the local schools.
She has been a Christian for more than half her life. She goes to Carey Baptist where she is one of three registrars.
She can be found at:
A Romantic Suspense for Every Day of the Week Wednesday's Child grieves for his soul...
Liam Page, school teacher and ex-missionary, is a man with a secret agenda. Revenge. But when he says it with flowers, and accidentally drenches a woman who just happens to be the school's landscape architect, he may have found a light in his darkness.
After an abusive relationship, Jacqui Dorne prefers work to men. It's safer. But Liam Page with his boyish charm and wounded soul, manages to change her preferences. Has God led her to Liam to help him heal?
When their growing relationship is marred by the reappearance of Jacqui's ex-boyfriend, they find themselves suddenly embroiled in a series of dangerous events which leads them to Africa and has them fighting for both love and life.
Any book that begins with the scripture Jeremiah 29:11-13 is going to grab my attention straight away. This formative verse is so applicable to the wonderful story Revell creates in Wednesday's Child.
I'm enjoying her spin on a time-honored nursery rhyme and the ways in which she weaves each day's verse into a spine-tingling suspense novel. (I have to admit: I've gotten sneak peeks at all of Clare's covers for this series, and Wednesday's Child is my favorite. What an amazing, straight on depiction of the hero! But I digress…)
Liam Page is wounded. The burdens he carries tug your heart. I love the ordained way in which he meets our more than worthy heroine, Jacqui Dorne. Their paths, we discover, were meant to intersect—not just on a professional but on a personal level as well.
Some of my favorite stories deal with the issue of why God allows bad things to happen to seemingly innocent people. Add to that theme the threat of a menacing villain and you have the recipe for a great page-turner. Revell writes with a clean style and a keen sense of romance and suspense. Balancing the two can be tricky, but in her hands and heart the combination works and engages the reader to the last page.
Revell delivers on all counts in this offering, and I look forward to Thursday's Child – coming soon from Pelican Book Group!
DISCLAIMER: A copy of this book was provided to me free of charge by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Mind mapping software is getting more and more attention these days, and Chuck Frey does a great job of keeping us all up-to-date with the latest ideas and developments on his Mind Mapping Software Blog.
But back in the days when I started studying computer science, if I'd heard the words "mind mapping software", I might have interpreted them a little differently. Just for fun, I thought I'd show you how I was "mind mapping Software" back in 1977 (together with Hardware and Applications). This is a mind map I drew in June 1977 to summarise my first-year Computer Science course at Aston University.
Mind Mapping Software, 1977-style!

Hiya, folks! It brings me great pleasure to introduce "Vs.," a sort of sub-blog to my main blog posts that offer quick (or quick-ish) glimpses into my opinions on various subjects; everything from Death and Abortion to Avocados and the Lion King. Pretty much anything I've ever had a concrete opinion on, many of which I've never written about or even had the opportunity to squeeze into a dialogue before. And if the subject is big enough I'll be following the initial post up with subsequent rounds (I've already started Round 4 of Vs. Racism so that's fun). The goal here is to keep these short and sweet, but effective and release one every single week for the rest of my life. Ha. We'll see how that goes.
Anyway, thanks and enjoy!
The first "Vs." is RACISM! (round one).

We believe children learn best through hands-on activities that involve the children's senses. Children need to explore, manipulate, experiment, and move about to understand the world. Children learn best through direct experience and trial and error. Problem solving, decision-making, and free choice are important components of early learning.

Teen Beach Movie Lela Costume

Teen Beach Movie 'Pink Biker Lela'
|Costume type:
|Costumes for Girls
This homemade costume for girls entered our 2013 Halloween Costume Contest.
A word from Olivia, the 'Lela Teen Beach Movie' costume creator:
Ariahna Cottingham (my 6 year old daughter) is wearing her favorite character from "Teen Beach Movie." After the movie aired and she watched it for the first time she said at that point that she wanted to dress up as "the pink biker Lela". I originally thought ok, I will just find the costume in stores and purchase it....wrong! Everywhere I looked the costume was either sold out or said it wouldn't be available for purchase until February 2014! So I began trying to find any item possible for the costume. Eventually I came across a Coral pink faux leather jacket on Ebay. It cost about $25 but luckily that was the most pricey piece I bought. I used light pink cheer shorts, a light pink tank top, and panty hose that we already had at home (they were originally bought at Wal-mart) to wear under her coat. She also wore a white long sleeve shirt under her tank top Halloween night because it was chilly out. Her boots (which we already had at home as well) were originally black and spray painted pink. I got thick black ribbon and glued jewels onto it for her belt and attached the belt at the ends with velcro. I bought a $3 flower necklace at Wal-Mart for the infamous "Lela" friendship necklace. I also added a chain with some of the ribbon laced through it and attached it to her jacket with safety pins. I also had a hair clip that matched perfectly with her jacket and clipped it to the collar. To top off the entire look I straightened her hair and fixed it like Lela's and added a black headband. All in all, the costume total came to about $30-$35. It may be a little more than some costumes out there but it was definitely original and the kids loved it! Little girls were attached to her and her "Lela" look. I think we did the best "Lela" impression we could especially when my daughter was singing Lela's solo she had in "Crusin for a Brusin"!

On 24th July 1908, Johnny Hayes (A Sporting Goods Store Manager from New York City) came bounding down the finish straight towards Windsor Castle at the London marathon to set a New Marathon World Record of 2:55:18
110 years on the World Record sits at 2:01:39 (Eliud Kipchoge 16/9/2018) and good age group runners are beating good ol' Johnny's time.
Marathons are fast becoming normalized. As another email to fundraise an un-achievable charitable target circulates our corporate offices for the 12th time this week. This time it is Mary from marketing trying to gather together enough of your hard earned to justify her starting spot on London marathon. She's hoping that the strange IT guy with non-matching socks offers a tenner, not because he is awe of the 26.2 painful miles she is about to undertake but in the faint hope that she will finally agree to that drink he has been trying to hopelessly hint at since she broke up from Dave in Sales.
Eluid has reset the normal in marathon running and I am sure we are close to that famous Sub 2, but what can we do on a daily basis to reset our normal just like Mary from Marketing.
Two great quotes to write down and revisit daily if we want to reset your "normal"?
"You are the average of the five people you spend your most time with" – Jim John
"Good is the death of great" – Unknown
Consider what the above means to you, write them down somewhere that is visible on a daily basis (I recommend somewhere you'll read them before you leave for the day) and see how your mindset has moved in the next 7 days.

When I was a student in the late '60s and early '70s, I wasn't about to be seen carrying a dog-eared paperback version of Frank Herbert's science-fiction novel "Dune."
That would have been as uncool as watching "Star Trek" during its first run (rerun-watching is still cool, of course) or playing "Dungeons and Dragons" (though I would marvel at the marathon games my sister and younger brother would get into with their friends). These escapes into fictional worlds might suggest a bit uncomfortably that my real life was, uh, none-too-interesting.
Today, of course, being a sci-fi fan is mainstream. On the tube, "Star Trek" (along with "The Outer Limits" and "The Twilight Zone") was once a lonely outpost of "speculative fiction." No more: From "X-Files" to "Buffy the Vampire Slayer," otherworldly is in.
Now the classic 1965 novel "Dune" (12 million copies sold) is getting a six-hour retelling on the Sci-Fi channel (see our story on this page). In an unusual bit of marketing, previews for the TV series have been running in movie theaters. The brief promo scenes look great on a big screen.
A 1984 movie of "Dune" by director David Lynch was deemed an incomprehensible mess by some critics. I found it exotic, mysterious, and visually arresting.
Tell us about your favorite movies of 2000! Mail in the ballot on page 20 today or vote online at www.csmonitor.com/ratethemovies. It's simple, fun, and chad-free. The results will be published in our Sixth Annual Mega Movie Guide Dec. 22. It will also contain all the Monitor's capsule reviews of movies this year, critic David Sterritt's Top 10 list, and many other cool (we think) features.

I am happy when I hear about a physician interested in talking about nutrition with patients and hope more will do so. The foods we eat definitely impact our well-being.
Nuts are a great choice for people who have heart issues because they are good sources of omega-3 fatty acids, protein, fiber, unsaturated fat, vitamin E and even helpful antioxidants. They have been shown to help lower our cholesterol and reduce the risk of heart disease.
When we talk about the benefits of nuts, we must remember that they are part of a heart healthy diet not a cure for heart disease. You must continue to choose foods that are low in saturated fat, reduce overall fat even of good fats, increase fiber, lower sodium and eat appropriate calories to manage weight. Nuts can be good substitutes for the high fat, salty snacks you may currently be choosing, use as additions to your current recipes and even as a high saturated fat protein substitute.
There are a variety of healthy nuts, each one packs a nutrition punch! Some you may want to include are almonds, walnuts, pecans, hazelnuts, macadamia nuts and even peanuts (which are really a legume!).
The American Heart Association recommends eating four servings of unsalted nuts a week. Be sure to pick those that are dry roasted instead of processed with added oil. Nuts have calories as well as nutrition, so be sure to eat in smaller quantities such as 1.5 ounces or a small handful. You can also try nut butters.
Have fun going nutty!

Slightly North Of Broad or SNOB, as the locals refer to it, (192 East Bay Street Charleston) has been on my list for a while. It's stomping ground for Executive Chef Frank Lee. He's like the godfather of Charleston's culinary scene. As I've said before, it's hard to find a notable South Carolina chef who hasn't worked for this guy. During my latest culinary tour of Charleston, I was able to squeeze in a lunchtime meal and it proved to be well worth the wait (…though I didn't get to see Chef Lee on this trip, but honestly, I wasn't too disappointed because the food was freaking amazing!).
We started with a refreshing Spring Berry Sangria and our server suggested the Keegan Barn Raiser made with local honey infused Maverick Bourbon , orange bitters, Blenheim's ginger ale, rocks and an orange twist. Did you know Maverick Southern Kitchens has their own private label liquor? After tasting both drinks, Nina and I staked our claim and drank up.
We took a look at the lunch menu and requested that the chef send out a few items to give us an idea of what the SNOB lunch menu is all about. Our first course was a crab salad deviled egg, followed by a crab salad plate with fresh fruit and toast. We loved the crab salad.
Then came the highlight of my day. A chicken liver. I absolutely love chicken livers. They remind me of going to the burger joint when I was a kid. I'd get chicken livers and fries and douse both of them in ketchup. When Nina told me she had never had one, my chin hit the table and I bubbled up with joy to be able to share the experience with her. This particular chicken liver came with Geechie Boy yellow grits, caramelized onion jus, and sweet pepper relish. I oohed and ahhed. She was less impressed. Sigh. You can't win them all.
They followed this deliciousness up with a slice of chicken liver pate. It was rich, smooth heaven when spread with the mustard and jam. It sort of reminded me of foie gras, but with more of an iron flavor.
We also lunched on house made pimento cheese with pickled okra. I LOVE pickled okra. Seriously, SNOB dives straight to the core of southern cooking. It captures the flavor or our culture and full on embraces all the things I grew up eating. When I was younger, we always had pickles and pimento cheese on hand and now that I have a family of my own, often still do!
Though we were busting at the seams, we couldn't walk away without a taste of their Shrimp and Grits. Every single thing we put in our face was beautiful and fresh and pure-t southern.
I definitely recommend Slightly North of Broad to anyone, but especially to first time visitors to the South. It's what Southern food is all about!

Understanding the terrorist attack on Charlie Hebdo in Paris
It is one thing, and it is justifiable, to be indignant over the terrorist action that killed the best French caricaturists. It was an abominable and criminal act, which no-one can support.
Trying to understand analytically why such terrorist acts occur is different. Such acts do not fall from a clear blue sky. The sky behind them is dark, comprised of tragic histories, great massacres, humiliations and discrimination, and not just from true wars, such as those in Iraq and Afghanistan, that sacrificed the lives of thousands upon thousands of people, or forced them into exile.
The United States and several European countries were involved in these wars. Millions of Moslems live in France, the majority in the peripheries of the cities, in precarious conditions. Many of them, although born in France, are discriminated against to the point that it appears to be true Islamophobia. After the attack on the offices of Charlie Hebdo, a mosque was sprayed with gunfire, a Moslem restaurant was set on fire, and an Islamic prayer house was also shot at.
The issue is one of overcoming the spirit of revenge, and renouncing the strategy of confronting violence with still more violence. That creates a spiral of never ending violence, that produces countless victims, most of whom are innocent. And it will never achieve peace. If you want peace, prepare the means of peace, which is the fruit of dialogue and of the respectful coexistence among all.
The terrorist attack of September 11, 2001 against the United States was paradigmatic. The reaction of President Bush was to declare "endless war" against terror and to pass the "Patriot Act" that violates citizens' fundamental rights.
What the United States and her Western allies did in Iraq and Afghanistan was a modern war with the loss of countless civilian lives. If in those countries there had only been large date palm and fig plantations, nothing like that would have occurred. But in those countries there are great oil reserves, the blood of the world system of production. Such violence left a residue of rage, hatred and a desire of revenge in many Moslems who lived in those countries and elsewhere, all over the world.
Starting from that background one can understand that the abominable Paris attack was the result of this prior violence, not a spontaneous act. Not that this justifies it.
The effect of this attack is to instill widespread fear. That is the what terrorism seeks: to occupy the minds of the people and make them prisoners of fear. The principal point of terrorism is not to occupy their territory, as Westerners did in Afghanistan and Iraq, but to occupy their minds.
Sadly, the prophesy the intellectual author of the September 11 attempts, Osama Bin Laden, made on October 8, 2001 was realized: «The United States will never again have security, never again have peace». To occupy people's minds, to keep them emotionally destabilized, to make them distrust any foreign gesture or person, is the essential objective of terrorism.
To reach its objective of dominion of the minds, terrorism follows this strategy:
(1) the actions must be spectacular, otherwise they do no cause widespread commotion;
( 2 ) the actions, in spite of being hateful, must inspire admiration for the ingenuity involved;
( 3 ) the actions must show that they were meticulously prepared;
( 4 ) the actions must be unexpected, to give the impression of being uncontrollable;
( 5 ) the authors of the actions must remain anonymous (using masks) because when there are more suspects, the fear is greater;
( 6 ) the actions must cause lasting fear;
( 7 ) the actions must distort the perception of reality: anything that is different can produce terror. It is enough to see some poor children walking into a commercial center, and the image of a potential assailant is produced.
Let us formalize the concept of terrorism: it is any spectacular violence, done with the purpose of filling people's minds with fear and dread. Violence itself is not important, what is important is its spectacular character, its capacity for dominating everybody's mind. One of the most lamentable effects of terrorism was that it promoted the terrorist State that the United States is now. Noam Chomsky quotes an official of the North-American security apparatus, who confessed: «The United States is a terrorist state and we are proud of it».
Hopefully this spirit does not predominate in the world, especially in the West. If it does, we are headed for the worst kind of encounter. Only peaceful means have the secret strength to overcome violence and war. That is the lesson of history, and the counsel of wise humans, such as the Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr, Francis of Assísi, and Francis of Rome.

The Melbourne Fashion Festival is on this entire week and the runways are fabulous featuring some of the most interesting Australian labels/designers. I have been very interested in learning more about Australian designers and brands which is one of the reasons (the main one) for why I'm here. Attending the festival has been very fun and has allowed me to see great fashion.
Going took me back to a time when I had the chance to be the Fashion Coordinator for a fashion show in college that was annual and pretty big for the campus. I wondered how fast were the models changing, why some had a sort of 'no expression' rather than some expression…was it in style for models now?, why they turned so fast at the end of the runway…..I thought it would've been great to see them stay a bit more so to see the entire look. I couldn't help but look at the cadence of the models as they 'stomped' the runway to the musical stylings of house music. It was all very well organized and put together and I loved the ambience of it. I felt my heart open and think of my mom (who also studied design) and smile.
So what called to me the most? Was it the looks? Was it the designers? Was it the entire show? I loved the entire show. I wasn't in love with every look I must admit and there were some I felt might've looked better on older models just because the styling suggested someone in their 30's or even 40's would look amazing in it and I think it's a shame that there isn't more of a mixture of ages in models who do runway shows such as these. I felt this was more true of last night's show rather than the Opening Night's show.
Now for the highlights! Enjoy…until next time Travel Spritely.
….and then there was post-show….

Update, another week later - water is fine again.
Our water started going bad last weekend, I called and left a msg (which might not have been received...) - but last night it was still noticeably off.
For newcomers, a post from 2005 provides background on this problem. Overall, the water has gotten much, much better since that time. Just not for the past week.

General Info
Baguette is classically a long( 5 or 6 centimetres), thin loaf of bread that is intimately associated with France and particularly Paris. The bread has been made in that country since the 1800s, although it started to become truly popular in the early 1900s. Outside of France, baguettes are often found at bakeries and grocers since they make excellent sandwich and picnic loaves. Like other French breads, they are best when fresh, and will stale rapidly.
The word is derived from the Latin baculum, for "rod" or "stick." A traditional baguette does strongly resemble a rod, since it is long and classically narrow. Wider loaves are called flutes in French, and they are also very popular. Since this type of bread bakes quickly, it is often the first offering of the morning at French bakeries.
A true baguette contains only
, and
, by French law. Breads with other ingredients cannot carry this name in France, and many bakers take their production very seriously. Paris actually sponsors an annual competition for the best baguette made in city limits. Other artisan breads are also featured in this competition, although the winner of this division is usually a topic of intense interest.
Several things set baguettes aside from other loaves of bread. The first is their dense, crusty exterior, which is typically slashed multiple times before baking to make a puffy, crusty top. The crust also tends to be slightly chewy and elastic. The crumb of the bread is white, with large irregular holes, and it is also rather chewy. This texture is often accomplished with a starter, which will develop a more complex flavor in the finished bread.
Outside France, this style of bread may be sold as a French stick or French loaf. It is ideally suited for taking on picnics, especially the shorter and more compact versions. Spreads such as cheese and pate can be eaten with it, or they can be used as sandwich breads. A good crusty loaf can also be served with soup, salad, and other meals. If the bread must be stored for more than a day, it should be wrapped in paper and then in plastic. This will allow the bread to breathe without drying out, although the texture and flavor will suffer slightly.

Happy Holidays Seductive Studs bloghoppers, whatever holiday you choose 🙂
I hope that those who celebrate Christmas are done with their shopping so they can sit back and laugh – *cough* I meant lament- at the poor people rushing around like a chihuahua on speed.
If however, you are stuck trying to figure out what to get for the person in your life who loves action, paranormal entities, vampires, more than a little creepiness, and romance, I might have the gift idea for you. This snippet is from Discovery, my M/M paranormal Romance. (And yes, it IS available in paperback. 2-day shipping still works *wink*) This is from the very beginning of the book.
Speeding up, Jaret took the turn as fast as he could, swearing as the stupid vehicle he drove rolled up onto two wheels. Time had not always brought out the good inventions, he surmised as he jerked his body and with a jolt the car slammed back on all four tires. There was a time when he would have been on horseback and it was so much easier. But no. There were now automobiles, cars that went way too fast, ate up too many resources, and were too impossible to control. "Fuck," he growled as two large armored vehicles followed him around the corner. Since when did it become okay for ordinary citizens to have attack cars?
Well, okay, they weren't ordinary citizens. They were vampyr, which was so much worse. And he was a drakyl, which compounded the issue. They hated his kind with such intensity that for many centuries, it had confused him as to what reason they could possibly have to dislike him so. Now, he didn't care about the why, he just cared about surviving the attack.
Thankfully, he was close to the barrier of this god-forsaken city. Once he was out on open land, the chances they would follow him were low. Or so he hoped. This particular group was far too equipped for his peace of mind. Just like the groups in New York City, Pittsburgh, and Roanoke. "Blast!" he hollered as a shot rang out and almost instantly, the rear of his car swerved to the side, lifting the left front up even as the back right side went down. Out of his rearview mirror, he could see the remains of his back tire scattered over the road. Spotting an alleyway up ahead as his car screamed its way toward a stop, he hoped this was the right thing to do. Grabbing his rucksack from the passenger seat, he slammed on the gas, threw the door open, and leapt out, running into the alley as the car surged forward and hit the wall.

Living in Montana and working the ranch is all Aaron wants to do for the rest of his life. Diagnosed as allergic to the sun thirteen years previous, every day is a struggle to get out of bed. Having to wear long-sleeved shirts, gloves, and even material to cover his face from the effects of the sun, just makes it all worse. Now, in his thirty-second year, he is sure this will be his last summer. While he hates it, he knows he needs to come to terms with the truth and put things in order for his younger cousins. Before he does so, he heads out for one night of pleasure before facing what's coming.
Jaret loves excitement and new adventures. For over five hundred years, he has sought them out. In Montana on a whim, he comes across someone he doesn't expect, someone who makes him feel things he does not understand and does not want to give up. In no time at all, he feels like he cannot live without Aaron. The only problem is Aaron doesn't know who he is, what he is, nor that he isn't going to die. Not on Jaret's watch. With a plan to help the other man discover who he is in place, he only has one thing to worry about: whether an ancient enemy will come and destroy everything he now holds dear.
Warning: This book is a paranormal m/m romance with some horror elements. It also crosses cowboy and vampire genres. If you don't think cowboys look hot with fangs, you're missing out.

So, I know a compost bin is basically an oozing mess by definition, but my bin has sort of gone beyond an acceptable amount of nasty bilgy-ness lately.
If you remember my watermelon carving incident, you know I essentially created a rabid alien instead of a shark. Not only was the beast rather hideous, but the watermelon itself was a mealy, inedible disaster. It wasn't even fit for flavoring tequila, so I hacked it into pieces and rather unceremoniously hurled it into my compost bin.
A few days later when I was outside watering my plants, I noticed my cilantro plant was looking rather sickly.
As I knelt down to inspect the wilting cilantro more closely, I noticed a repugnant ooze leaking out of the compost bin beside the plant.
Upon opening the bin, I discoverd it was far too wet, and it also smelled rather foul. A bin that is too wet (or too dry) will not break down the waste efficiently. A smelly bin is also a hint you have a problem on your hands. It can mean the bin is not getting enough air and is therefore producing anaerobic bacteria (which smell worse than their aerobic friends).
It can also mean your carbon to nitrogen ratio (C:N) is off. For those of you who weren't insane enough to take as much chemistry as I did in college, this is nerd for "there's too much green shit in your bin and not enough brown." (The greens are the kitchen scraps and the brown stuff would be paper, dry leaves, and whatnot.) Given the size of the watermelon, I figured the problem was the C:N ratio and not a lack of oxygen. I figured the best way to fix both the stench and the ooze would be to add dry carbon-rich materials, so I consulted the internet to confirm my hypothesis. It seems I was on the right track because the internet confirmed my suspicion. (I love you internet. Almost as much as I love cilantro.)
I was saving newspaper ads to make a papier mache pirate ship centerpiece for my Peter Pan birthday party, but my bin problem was a little more pressing. I mean I can't have brown sticky ooze all over my balcony, so Captain Hook will have to wait for his Jolly Roger centerpiece for another day. I ripped up a lot of Ralph's advertisements for baby wipes and Bacardi, and put the paper strips in my bin.
Hopefully it won't be as foul in a few days. If you want to know how I made the bin in the first place, the instructions are here.
And now that we've covered ooze and filth, it's time for me to wash my hands, put on something pink, and crank up the Carly Rae Jepsen because my geeky tomboy to girly girl ratio is getting out of whack up in here.
Do you have any other compost bin suggestions for me? Oh, and if you know how to not kill cilantro, please tell me! If this plant dies, it will be my second one in two months. I am starting to feel like a cilantro serial killer!

This frame was a Christmas gift for my wife this year. We saw a frame similar to this at the beach over the summer that my wife loved, so I took a few pictures knowing it would make a great gift at some point. I used cedar for the backing and cherry for the border…luckily I had been given some cherry boards by my father-in-law that had a very rough edge that worked perfectly for this project. I resawed the face of the board to rough that side up more. I used screws to hold everything together…I plugged the screws on the outside knowing the dark stain would hide them pretty well. I ended up being crunched for time as usual and used a Rustoleum stain from Lowes (Kona is the shade) instead of something from General Finishes…it worked out pretty well. I ordered some simple 4×6 glass frames and Rockler's glass retainer clips to hold the pictures in place. With imperfection being the nature of this project it could easily be completed in a weekend.

I like this a lot. Not a fan of the clips distracting from the picture but the rough sawn frame and cedar look work very well together.
-- "Fine Woodworking" is the name given to a project that takes 3 times longer than normal to finish because you used hand tools instead of power tools. ----Mike, Waukesha, WI

Is it okay to laugh at the misfortunes of someone in a wheelchair?
In Realwheels' new production Comedy on Wheels, laughter is not only accepted, it's encouraged!
"We'll be laughing too, and the theatre will be a safe space," says Andrew Vallance, one of the performers in the show. "No one will judge you."
That's apparent right from the opening acts, as we discover that certain assumptions made by non-disabled folks about disabilities are hilariously absurd. We also learn about the daily challenges of seemingly simple tasks that non-disabled people may take for granted, such as scheduling transportation or pedestrian safety. All the while, a comedic sense of ridiculousness keeps the atmosphere relaxed.
"People think the challenges are physical," notes another performer, Emily Brook. "But the physical challenges aren't anything compared to the societal."
She has a point. Many of the funniest scenes point to a common thread – how society has created barriers that don't need to be there.
"This production shows the difficulties people with disabilities have using everyday services," according to Aaron Roderick, who plays an extremely unhelpful public transit clerk in several scenes. "People with disabilities need a voice in the community."
Vallance believes this comedy show can help. "Through laughing, you will hopefully be able to more fully understand the disability experience."
Brook has even higher goals.
"I hope people take away a much more well-rounded sense of not only what disability is, but also what people with disabilities are – and can be."
Comedy on Wheels is a big show, with a large cast, guaranteeing laughs, diverse points of view, and surprises. Don't miss the fun – three performances only!
Ticket info below.
Comedy on Wheels is a production by Realwheels. It will be performed on May 18-20, 2017 at Performance Works in Vancouver.

Mason Bee House Plans: Making a bee home is an easy woodworking venture that takes only a few minutes to construct, and making a bee house is a great venture for using a few items of salvaged lumber and scrap wood. There are two primary ways to select the Rising Sun by the Animals, the first entails fingerpicking, which is the way in which I first realized it and the second way of choosing House of the Rising Sun is to flatpick. If you need it mounted, you really want to get anyone spherical to verify what the problem is. It could possibly be an air-brick has been blocked off (verify outside), or the garden has been concreted proper as much as the house (it is best to go away a couple of inches hole.
The first time was when the home was bank-owned in 2012 and being proven for an open home. They swoop quite shut around the home though they do not stay anywhere close to us and then as we speak we sat in a chicken store about to eat hen and salad for lunch and one flew contained in the Restaurant. Shortly after we purchased this property, we planted rows of trees and bushes to behave as a windbreak on two of our boundary fences, pondering it would solely be essential to bucket water them for a short while earlier than the wet season arrived and nature took care of them. A simple drum and guitar model with notes and TAB for The House of the Rising Sun Use this with the chords within the image to do your personal cowl version of House of the Rising Sun. Where I at present live is kind of windy, however we do not have bushes dropping leaves near the house.
There is a minimum 'going' (tread depth from nose to nose) of 220mm, a maximum rising (prime of tread to prime of tread) of 220mm, a maximum pitch of 42°, and the equation of 2r+g has to be between 550-seven hundred. A individual with a Moon or Sun within the First house is somebody who will go through many changes, and will do many issues to attract attention.
But your Sun Sign is only ever in a single signal, there are cusps, but they are the dividing strains I speak of here, and your Sun is rarely in more than one sign. You should make at the very least 3 times your monthly hire every month to be accepted into most apartment complexes in the twenty-first century. The present proprietor might be placing his home on the house stroll once more in the future after most of his restorations are accomplished, and I can't wait to get again in there and see this magnificent residence once once more! Both of the bedrooms are next to an out of doors wall and seem like the dampest areas of the whole home, with doable rising damp.
And the afternoon hikes and the riverside naps and the cowboy lullabies, the tree hung hammocks and the pumpkin pancakes + roasted potatoes & bacon in the morning more than made up for it contemplating what a rare treat it is to set aside three full days to spend within the gradual firm of buddies with schedules typically impossible to match up. But we did.
