Light and unity is what yoga is purely about. If you haven't heard about Indigo, Crystal & Rainbow children – this is an interesting idea. I first learned about Star Children about 10 years ago, and was immediately drawn to it. Throughout my life I have had interesting encounters with intuits and lightworkers approaching me; telling my mam I was a child of light, and other often bizarre but truly amazing experiences. I know I am not the only one, and I'm sure many children and parents these days also encounter similar experiences. I think those of us that are open and here with clear purpose encounter such people and experiences as reminders to stay connected to our mission. This is why working with children, who are naturally open, intuitive, and here with purpose, is so important to me. These children often experience high levels of anxiety, ADD/ADHD, may be on the autism spectrum, or may encounter other sensory integration challenges. I believe this is because they are of a different vibration, and struggle to fit into the current environment and or be understood by others.
The challenges these children face can also be gifts, but it's finding the tools and support to allow these gifts to shine. Communicating and sensing the world differently does not make it easy to integrate and can be isolating, nor can it be easy for parents. While our current systems do offer many tools and are becoming more open to alternative tools, I feel it's valuable to keep diving into alternative and more intuitive approaches. I don't think it matters how we help others, even if it's placebo or perceived as placebo due to our current limited understanding, so long as it holistically supports. The challenge is to find the right fit for the child, or adult. Star Children get it and see through things very easily. For more information on understanding and alternative ways to support children with sensory integration challenges, see the blog on A Different Approach to Sensory Integration.
What are Star Children?
Star Children are Lightworkers, here on a mission to make this world a better place, through compassion, healing, driving change, and healing. They understand the greater purpose and are relatively selfless. This also poses a problem as these children and adults tend to take on the pain of others, and may not have the skills to protect themselves energetically. Each Star has it's own characteristics with the same purpose: to create positive change for all, by bringing a new way of being and more light into the world.
Indigo Children
Indigo children are stubborn warriors and change-makers born between the 60's and 90's. Their role is to dismantle the systems that are not serving the greater good. They are entrepreneurial in spirit, trying new experiences and intrigued by finding innovative solutions.
Crystal Children
Crystal children are pure – seeing the best in all, highly creative, empathetic to a fault, incredibly sensitive, and intrigued by the supernatural. They feel it all, which can be painful, yet manage to flow through it. Crystal children are here to create new ways of being. They are born between the 80's to 2000's.
Rainbow Children
Rainbow children are just that – full of colour and vibrancy! They are lovers of people, animals, easily adaptable yet will not to conform to old ways that the Indigo have helped to clear. They are fearless, see unity and will to continue to bring this into the world. These children embody our pure potential and have come to Earth since 2000.
Each Star Child brings inspiration in their own way. So how do you nurture yourself or your child to help bring out the best in them? I believe each parent knows their child, and am truly grateful my Mam had the understanding that each of us was very unique and encouraged us to express ourselves, yet have the wisdom to step back and be there with unconditional love and support. I don't feel that labeling really matters – it serves as a framework to better understand. This and the blog on A Different Approach to Sensory Integration are simply tools to look at a situation differently, and hopefully to gain more insight to better support you and your child on your journey.

following it up w/ a feel good party-ish kinda record that's like, "remember when we all loved me" w/ a few new twists makes a lot of sense to me.I feel you on this. I guess I was hoping she'd "take it to another level," but that's probably an unreasonable thing to expect from any artist.

that's pretty good for a song launched to #1 based overwhelmingly on pent-up hype, a simultaneous track/video premiere, and a plainly charts-driven digital retail strategy. like, the trajectories of a couple others recently fitting that description:

all are being buoyed somewhat by airplay gains, even those for which direct consumption (sales/streams) is running out of steam fast. they could all eventually find a real mass audience, but i wouldn't count on it. of the three, i'd say "rain on me" may be the likeliest to actually become a 'real' hit

Some Good Ones
1. Missing in Action (?)
Is it good? Is it bad? Is it so bad it's good? I had a really tough time with this one. On the one hand it's a solidly put together action movie, on the other hand the Vietnamese characters are little more than cartoon villains. The fight choreography is definitely better than Forced Vengeance (another Chuck Norris movie I've seen recently), but then again the idea that Chuck Norris, with his dirty blonde hair, could somehow "go stealth" by wearing black clothes in the middle of Saigon is ridiculous.
One thing's for sure, this movie wasn't helping U.S.-Vietnam relations any. Having a Chinese American play the leader of the Vietnamese diplomatic contingent was especially insulting.
Yet while it doesn't quite pack the punch of First Blood Part II, it does exemplify a trend towards Vietnam-themed action movies in the 80s. For this reason alone it's worth seeking out.
Fun Fact: The similarities between this movie and First Blood Part II aren't accidental. Both movies were based on a story treatment submitted by James Cameron for the second Rambo film.
Fun (Non)Fact 2: Chuck Norris has counted to infinity. Twice.
2. Dreamscape
Hollywood never met a good idea it didn't recycle. Dennis Quaid would later star in Innerspace, another movie where he invaded other people's personal space, and let us not forget The Cell in 2000, Vanilla Sky in 2001, and Inception in 2010 - all of which offered other takes on the concept of people visiting others' dreams. And yes, there's probably some other, earlier movie I've forgotten (or don't know about) that treads upon similar ground.
Just the same, Dreamscape is a good movie. Dennis Quaid was a great leading man, and it's too bad that so much of his career was derailed due to substance abuse.
3. Against All Odds
Bet you remember the Phil Collins' song better than the movie. "So take a look at me now...."
...but maybe it's not all Phil Collins' fault. This movie is good, but it's not as good as Taylor Hackford's previous effort, An Officer and a Gentleman. This one's more a genre picture, and feels less genuine than its predecessor. Especially that confrontation at the end of the movie - that one scene is so silly that it almost ruins the entire film.
Jeff Bridges stars as an ex-football player, Rachel Ward is the love interest, and James Woods appears as a shady "friend" of Bridges. In the same year Bridges starred in (excuse the pun) Starman, and the year before Woods starred in Videodrome. Both of those movies were way better than the more derivative Against All Odds.
4. A Passage to India
David Lean was still making movies in the 1980s? I had no idea. And that's Judy Davis? From The Ref? Apparently she's Australian! Who knew?
This movie is VERY slow to get going, but if you liked 1982's Gandhi I think you'll also find a lot to like in this movie. Where Gandhi was big and momentous, A Passage to India is small and intimate. It's full of the day-to-day misunderstandings: the little embarrassments that informed the rule of the British Raj. It's also more of an ensemble piece, whereas Gandhi was the story of one man.
Compare Maurice Jarre's orchestral score in A Passage to India to the synth-laden score he did for Dreamscape the same year. Could any two things be more different?
5. Beat Street
"You can keep your dreams, gentlemen. But get something to fall back on." Truer words were never spoken. 33 years later, and what happened to all those (slow) rappers, DJs, taggers, and breakers? For some, fortunes were won and lost, but for most it was probably a brief glimpse at fame, and then back to the day-to-day reality of living in the Bronx.
This movie's still surprisingly good. And yes, I owned my own pair of parachute pants, once upon a time.
6. Falling in Love
Not as bad as Scenes from a Marriage, not even as bad as Eyes Wide Shut, but definitely NOT a date movie. This tale of marital infidelity will have you (and your significant other) questioning the nature of your relationship long before the credits roll. While De Niro and Streep's previous movies were definitely better (The King of Comedy and Silkwood, respectively), this film has aged very well.
7. Red Dawn
Cold War paranoia at its finest, and also the one movie the NRA really wants you to see. It's very 80s in the same way that Missing in Action is very 80s, but the story's more coherent and the acting's better. Fun Fact #1: Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey, who both appear in this movie, would later star in Dirty Dancing together. Fun Fact #2: The script for this movie started out as an anti-war film, but the studio pushed the scriptwriter into making it more of a "teen Rambo" movie.
8. The Killing Fields
Having been to Cambodia, I can tell you that a) it's very beautiful, and b) it's very sad sometimes, too. For every Angkor Wat there's a troop of kids running after you saying: "Hello one dollar! Hello one dollar!" For every sign of (uneven) development, there's a TV channel right out of Orwell's 1984. Cambodia is, in other words, a very strange place, but if you haven't been I recommend it.
Sam Waterston stars in this story of the Khmer Rouge's rise to power. This movie won a lot of Oscars, including a Best Supporting Actor for Waterston's costar, Haing S. Ngor.
9. Love Streams
John Cassavetes kind of lost me with Gloria, but he was back in form again with Love Streams. If you think about certain plot elements it's somewhat ridiculous, but for me this just adds to the movie's charm. Felt like something John Waters might have attempted.
10. 1984
I'm talking about 1984 in this post, so of course I have to mention this movie! It's one of my favorite books, and they did a good job adapting it to film. For a particularly jarring experience, listen to the Van Halen album right after viewing the movie.
Some Bad Ones
1. Police Academy
This was funny in 1984? I guess you had to have been there. Actually I was there - but I was only 9 at the time. There's a somewhat funny gag involving a prostitute and a podium, but the rest of this movie feels like warmed-over Animal House.
2. The Hotel New Hampshire
Whatever happened to Beau Bridges? He used to be everywhere. Maybe he got tired of being a movie star?
The senior Bridges, Rob Lowe, Jodie Foster, and the dude who got melted and then hit by a car in Robocop star in this story of a New Hampshire family that opens a hotel. It's full of cringe-y dialogue and one of the most badly-timed rape scenes ever. One of the more annoyingly pretentious movies I've seen recently, but maybe the book was better?
Also the only film in which you'll hear Jodie Foster say something like, "Hey! Your balls are wet!"
3. Buckaroo Banzai
You know what this movie needed? More Jeff Goldblum. He's the only interesting thing in this entire thing.
You know what this movie also needed? More action. For what most would assume is an action movie, there's little going on for most of the Buckaroo Banzai's two hour runtime. Even the big fight at the end is anticlimactic. It's like a radio serial that fails to end with a cliffhanger, or a TV show without enough of a premise to keep the viewer invested.
This was Peter Weller's biggest movie before Robocop, and I can tell you he was much better used by Paul Verhoeven. To some extent I understand why this movie enjoys a cult following (its eccentricity), but come on, there are better movies to obsess over.
4. Paris, Texas
Something about two brothers, one of whom was missing for four years. God it's boring. Made it halfway through and had to tap out.
5. Nothing Lasts Forever
What a weird film. Was this supposed to be funny? The guy from Gremlins and some SNL alumni feature in this story about a young man who wants to become an artist in New York. Mostly black and white, with a dream sequence in color. It was never released theatrically or on home video, though it was later uploaded to the Internet.
Some That Are So Bad They're Good
1. Streets of Fire
Riding high on the success of 48 Hrs., writer/director Walter Hill offered this second, larger helping of macho bullshit.
Diane Lane (a.k.a. Superman's mom) is abducted by Willem Defoe and later saved by her old boyfriend Michael Pare. Inbetween there are a few good songs and a lot of bad ones. The dialogue is unintentionally hilarious, and certain plot points make absolutely no sense.
Watching this movie in 2017, I'm not sure if I feel more embarrassed for Willem Defoe, who spends most of the movie wearing silly leather fetish overalls; or for Amy Madigan, who has all the worst lines.
2. Breakin'
The bastard child of Beat Street and Flashdance, featuring a white girl who learns all about poppin' and lockin'. Where Beat Street is New York cold, Breakin' is sunny California. Where Beat Street is inner city, Breakin' is well-lit dance studios and beaches. Gotta love the evil dance instructor. Fun Fact: Ice T performs in this movie! Twice!

Black Celebrity Gossip - I know the things that black people do is different than everybody else but this church service has to be one of the weirdest. In this exclusive black celebrity gossip video I obtained from 50 Cent's Instagram page, a pastor preaches about grabbing the strap. According to this priest, he says it's ok for black people to grab the strap when needed
because of the environment we live in plus the savages we live around. If you are reading this and you are not black, can you please let me know in the comment section below if your church would ever preach anything like this. This is the reason I do not go to church, I'm not going to stand there while the guy at the podium is preaching about getting the strap. Worldwide Spotlight will have some more exclusive black celebrity gossip videos that you will not find on any other website coming up shortly, subscribe to the Worldwide Spotlight daily newsletter to get all of the hip hop news and black celebrity gossip straight to your email.

The Lane of Unusual Traders
Very exciting and belated news! A short story of mine was recently accepted for Tiny Owl Workshop's world building project called The Lane of Unusual Traders. Given just a map and a short prologue about the world and its capital city, writers were asked to write a flash fiction or a short story about a shop that existed in the city of Lind in an area called the Lane of Unusual Traders.
One of the most exciting acceptances I've gotten, especially since I found out immediately after a dream about being rejected for this particular project. Tiny Owl also ran a project earlier this year called the Unfettered Folio where writers were asked to write a short story based on art pieces illustrated by Terry Whidborne. At the time, I really would have loved to have sent something in, but it was right around exam time and I couldn't get anything done before the deadline. That's why this August I put a lot of my free time and focus into finishing a piece for this project, and apparently, it paid off.
I'm chuffed and flabbergasted and also very excited to be a part of such an awesome project. There's already a wiki for Midlfell and I can't wait to see what else comes from this world and its contributors. The full list of fellow short story contributors can be found here. More on the Lane to come in 2015.
Update: Midlfell Wine and Spirits is located on Lot 16! Full list here.
After the Pause
A bit of a late update since September/October can be a little hectic, and by "can be" I mean is. It always is. But, good news. Three poems have been accepted by After the Pause for their inaugural issue in December. Of course the one time I try to send a batch of poems out to multiple magazines, I get a response the next day. Made for some awkward one day withdrawals.
Anyways, "to dust", "Atlantic" and "weeds" will be published sometime in December. I also have a publication date for the two poems due in Black Heart Magazine. "simulacrum" and "liminal" will be published November 2nd, the day before my birthday. A bit of good news to help me survive the endless due dates ahead of me.

It's about mid-season for sweet corn here in NW Ohio so have to enjoy it when it's in. I get mine from a veggie wagon that has local corn picked fresh daily. It is more expensive than most but it is the best and sweetest corn you can get. The farm, Sutters, does a lot of good, they employ all college kids to pick and run all their stands.
Most of their corn is the yellow white mix but they had some white I chose for today. I had some Johnsonville grillers, brats, w/cheese and bacon and some of their Chorizo. I made up a couple of patties from the Chorizo. I did them on my Weber gas grill on the flip side or grill grates; at about 400 deg. for 10 minutes and then flipped for another 8 min. I moved them to the warmer rack and toasted some Boullio buns for a couple of minutes.
My corn was done steaming a few minutes before the brats were done and had the burner turned off.
I took all inside to serve. We had some gorgonzola, garlic and chive butter on the corn and a side of marinated tomatoes, cucumbers and onions.
My wife had a brat griller w/mustard and pickle. I had a brat griller and a Chorizo patty w/mustard and topped with a Vidalia onion slice. Man that tasted good!

Here at General Insurance Agency, serving Clovis, NM, we know that you simply need to have the minimum amount of coverage based on the laws in the state. You do not have to any anything more unless you want to have it but you cannot have anything less or you will be breaking the law.

There are also specifically set amounts of coverage that are needed. Drivers need to have at least $25,000 in coverage for bodily injury to or death of one person, $50,000 in coverage for bodily injury to or death of two or more persons, and $10,000 in coverage for property damage in any one accident. Keep in mind that these are all liability coverages.
Now that you know what is required of you in order to remain legally compliant in terms of auto insurance in Clovis, NM, you need to make sure that you have that coverage. If you are not sure how much coverage you currently have and if it meets the minimum requirement, we can take a look at that for you. if you do not have a policy, we can even get you a free quote for coverage that will ensure you are following the law and also staying within budget. Be sure to reach out to us here at General Insurance Agency today to get started.

Primary Source: Information Processing
You may have read (NYTimes; enjoy the 500 expert comments!) about the recent OECD study of adult skills, which showed Americans lagging behind most other advanced countries. The outcomes more or less recapitulate the PISA results, which are produced by the same organization, led by Andreas Schleicher (Without data, you are just another person with an opinion; Schleicher was trained in physics before moving into educational assessment). Studying adults rather than students makes generational differences apparent: young Koreans scored near the top in the world, whereas older Koreans, who grew up in a much poorer country, do less well. This was true as well for Finns, but countries like the UK, US and Australia showed almost no difference between the young and old. It would appear that the Flynn Effect has abated for the current adult population in those countries.
The most striking findings in the report to someone already familiar with this kind of country level data, are that:
(I) Job growth in areas requiring superior ability is high, whereas there is almost no growth in other sectors (see figure below and figure 1.3 in the report). The biggest decline in jobs is in manufacturing-related areas, which are characterized by low, but not the lowest, scores. The number of menial jobs, characterized by the lowest scores, held their own. In other words, in developed countries jobs for factory workers declined while maids, gardeners and servants held their own… a grim future of income inequality based on cognitive ability?
(Difference between mean scores of skilled and "elementary" occupations is about 1 population SD — Table A3.19. This is about the same as mean score difference between college graduates and those that did not reach upper secondary education! Table A3.9 (l))
(II) Scores on numeracy and literacy showed high correlations: 0.8 — 0.9 in every country. This is much higher than, for instance, M and V correlation on the SAT.
Here are national score ranges for math skills:
This figure shows that Japanese high school graduates have better literacy skills than Italian college graduates. There is plenty more data like this. Interestingly the standard deviations in scores for Japan and Korea are on the low end compared to other countries.
Roughly every fifth Finn and Japanese reads at high levels (Level 4 or 5 on the Survey of Adult Skills). This means, for example, that they can perform multiple-step operations to integrate, interpret, or synthesise information from complex or lengthy texts that involve conditional and/or competing information; and they can make complex inferences and appropriately apply background knowledge as well as interpret or evaluate subtle truth claims or arguments. They are also good at numbers: they can analyse and engage in complex reasoning about quantities and data, statistics and chance, spatial relationships, change, proportions and formulae; perform tasks involving multiple steps and select appropriate problem-solving strategies and processes; and understand arguments and communicate well-reasoned explanations for answers or choices.
How does someone who can't do these things obtain a good college degree? If only 20% of Finns and Japanese can do these things (the largest fraction among all nations), what fraction of US students are ready for serious college work?

Champagne means one thing: celebrate! It is more than the wine of kings, it is a special quaff of bubbles and magic.
Champagne-Ardenne is a must-see destination for the fine wine enthusiast who also enjoys beautiful countryside. The region features forests, brilliantly clear lakes and streams running through limestone rocks. Within these limestone layers, miles and miles of rock have been excavated to provide underground galleries for the housing and cellaring of bubbly. (image: Reims cathedral)
Along a thousand miles of waterways and lakes, you may drift via boat through an ever-changing view of nature, observing migratory birds and animals who have made their habitat along the banks.
Champagne-Ardenne can also be discovered from the air by plane, helicopter or balloon. On the ground and off the main road are numerous discoveries awaiting the visitor: the basilica of l'Epine, the Reims cathedral, where the kings of France used to be crowned, the Sedan castle, the fortified city of Langres, the 16th century houses at Troyes, the many wooden facade churches in the Champagne bocage, the Meuse Valley, and the Triangle Sacré du Champagne. Sporting visitors will find easy access to golf, horse riding and sail boarding.

In the not so distant past, black-top shingles, slate, earth or solid tiles were about roofing contractor in Delaware the primary material alternatives. Today, propelled roofing materials give a different scope of options, just as new searches for existing articles.
Here Is a Rundown of 9 Distinct Sorts of Material to Consider for Your Next Re-Material Employment:
1. Sun Oriented Tiles
Progressed sun oriented gatherers coordinate consistently into existing shingles, creating as much as 1 kilowatt of vitality for every 100 square feet. They're especially useful for bright rooftops in mortgage holders' affiliations that preclude regular sun based boards. While they may help balance vitality costs with sun based power, they additionally cost more than conventional sun oriented alternatives.
2. Black-Top Shingles
Black-top shingles are the most widely recognized roofing materials in America since they're compelling in every single ecological condition. Quality differs generally, so ask whether they pass the ASTM D3161, Class F (110 mph) or ASTM D7158, Class H (150 mph) wind tests and the AC438 strength test. Forthright expenses are low. However, you ought to hope to supplant the shingles after around 20 years. On the off chance that you live in a hail inclined zone, consider swaying safe shingles which have a UL 2218 Class 4 rating. Effect secure shingles may meet all requirements for a rebate on your property holder's premium.
3. Metal Material
Metal material comes in vertical boards or shingles looking like slate, tile and shake – and keeps going around 60 years. Metal exceeds expectations at sloughing off overwhelming snow and downpour, won't consume and opposes high breezes. It is lightweight and can be introduced over existing rooftops. Be that as it may, metal can be noisy during rainstorms, and may imprint from hail. Average costs run somewhere in the range of $5 and $12 per square foot, contingent upon sort and style of metal – which is more than black-top yet not exactly solid tiles. Consumption likewise differs from the material.
4. Stone-Covered Steel
Interlocking boards copy slate, mud or shingles and oppose harm brought about by substantial downpours (up to 8.8 inches every hour), winds of 120 miles for each hour, elevating, hail and stop defrost cycles. Subsequently, they're an affordable, powerful decision for wet, breezy locales or regions inclined to out of control fires. Some stone-covered steel rooftops are justified for the lifetime of the house.
5. Slate
Slate material keeps going over 100 years. It won't consume, is waterproof and opposes form an organism. Slate is viable in wet atmospheres yet is costly, overwhelming and might be effectively broken when ventured on. Remember this if you live in a zone that encounters hail.
6. Elastic Slate
Elastic slate looks common and can be sliced with a blade to fit intricate rooftops like those found on Victorian homes. Flexible slate rooftops can most recent 100 years, however, can be harmed by satellite dishes and strolling – so may likewise be defenseless to hurt by hail, like slate. Material experts that are prepared to introduce elastic slate might be elusive.

A series of guest-written gardening blogs to inspire fans of NPT's Volunteer Gardener and anyone looking for tips and ideas for happier, healthier gardens.
March is when we start seeing signs that spring is near. It is when gardeners begin champing at the bit to get outside (if they weren't already) and get their hands dirty! There is good reason for this: the vernal (or spring) equinox, the astrological beginning of spring in the northern hemisphere, happens in March. Our part of the earth begins its tilt toward the sun as nature begins to awaken around us with the lengthening days.
In March you can also get a jump on the coming growing season by starting seedlings indoors. Here's how.
Supply List
- Seed packets
- Potting soil (specifically packaged for seed-starting)
- Seed-starting trays
- Humidity domes
- Germination mat (specifically designed for seed-starting)
- Plant markers
- Watering can with a very fine rose
How to Begin
- Fill your trays with the potting medium. Give them a tap to make certain there are no air pockets. But don't overstuff them; the tiny roots need room to breathe!
- Follow the directions on the seed package for planting depth. Remember that some seeds need light to germinate (surface sown) and others need darkness.
- Label the varieties with plant markers.
- Water very carefully and gently.
- Place the clear plastic humidity dome over your tray.
- Place the completed tray on a germination mat near a sunny window or under grow lights.
- Check your trays every day and keep them moist.
- When the seeds begin to sprout, remove the humidity dome.
- When the seedlings have their first set of true leaves, remove from the heat mat and keep watering.
- Watch in wonder as your seedlings stretch toward the light and begin the miracle of photosynthesis, growing more each and every day!
You will be tempted to plant out these beauties on the first warm day, but please refrain from doing so! Our last average frost date in Middle Tennessee is April 15, but that is just an average. In this part of the country, the received wisdom of our grandparents is not to plant any tender annuals until after Mother's Day. If in the interim your seedlings begin to outgrow their seed-starting trays, you can bump them up to slightly larger individual pots. Better a little extra work then a bunch of dead, frozen seedlings!
I find this process endlessly inspiring and I hope you will, too!
Happy seed-starting!

10 Best Jimi Hendrix Deep Cuts You Didn't Know You Love
46 tracks on three albums recorded in barely more than a year. It's not hard to argue that no rock artist accomplished so much in so little time with as much influence as Jimi Hendrix.
The peerless guitar legend began perfecting his craft in backing bands for stars like Little Richard in the early 60s. Musicians like Keith Richards started taking notice a few years later, but it wasn't until Hendrix signed with Reprise Records on May 21, 1967 that he found the platform to show American audiences some tricks that had never been done with an electric guitar before or since.
The Seattle native and Army vet released Are You Experienced and Axis: Bold as Love in 1967, and Electric Ladyland in 1968. His only three studio albums produced some singles like "Purple Haze," but The Jimi Hendrix Experience was never about hits. Every track on every album deserves a listen. Here are ten of his best deep cuts demonstrated by live performances, outtakes and behind the scenes clips. Vote for your favorite of these rare, lesser known tracks at the bottom of the page.

Introduction: Paints Organizer for Figurines Painters.
If you are a figurines painter and need to organize your painting workshop without spending to much money, this instructable should help (I hope).
I made these "paint shelves" more than five years ago and they're still functional today.
Main idea consist in "stairs" for the paint pots in the middle and places to put brushes, cutters and other tools on the sides.
I must apologize my English should not be very good and measures are in cm rather than inches as I am French. I hope you'll understand.
Step 1: Tools and Material
The most expensive part of these shelves will be the hot glue sticks.
All other parts are reuse.
To do exactly the same as I did, you'll need the following.
- At least 4 65cm x 43 strong cardboard calendars,
- 2 round boxes : I used a tobacco box (wilder one) and a dairy dessert metal box (taller one)
- small pieces of foam
- cereal light cardboard for the corner's round shelves.
- paint (if you want to paint it to look smarter)
- metallic ruler
- strong cutter
- compass (if you want to make the round corner)
- pen
- hot glue gun
- paint brush (if you want to paint it)
Step 2: Cutting Parts
Main part of the shelves are the supports. Their dimensions are based on "Citadel" paint pots so you should adapt them depending on the number of shelves you want and the size of the pots.
For the 2 straight parts that are 27cm long (including the tools storages) and the round corner part, you'll need 7parts like the one represented here.
That represents one support at each end of the straight part and 3 for the round corner.
Note that if you want to make longer shelves (mine are 20cm long, remaining 7cm are tool storages) or if you want to store heavier things, an intermediate support should be a good idea.
Horizontal parts of the shelves are 3,5cm wide ribs.
Front part of the shelves are 3,7cm wide ribs (2mm that exceed above shelf to avoid pots from falling) for all the shelves except the one at the bottom that is 4mm wide (to hide shelves "floor" ).
They are cut in strong cardboard for straight shelves and in cereal box thin cardboard for round corner as the need to be twisted to be stuck on round shelves faces.
For the "floors" (sorry I don't know the correct word in English), their dimensions will depend the length you'll want for your shelves. Mine are 27cm long including tools storage so my "floors" are 17,5cm x 27cm.
For the round corner, the floor is a quarter of 35cm diameter disk while the shelves are round strips as shown in above scheme.
Step 3: Construction
First, supports are glued with the hot glue gun on the floors. Use the set square to glue them perpendicularly and don't hesitate to put many glue to make it strong.
One support is glued at each end for straight parts (letting needed space for tools storage).
For round corner, glue the supports as shown in above scheme, bottommost shelf in circle center, highest one on periphery
Then, always using hot glue, stick the shelves on the supports.
Then, glue the shelves fronts on the supports and on the shelves.
Shelves back are made in strong cardboard for straight shelves and in thin cardboard for round corner. They need to jut out 2mm above the topmost shelf to avoid pot falling behind the shelf. Just measure your finished shelf to know exact measure as it should depend used cardboard thickness.
Step 4: Tools Storages
If you don't need the tool storages, You should ensure pots will not fall on the free end by sticking matches on the shelf end. Other end should be stuck - with or without glue depending on the modularity you want - to the round corner.
One of the tool storage is just made by "forgetting" to glue the shelves on the supports. As is, there's one 7cm x 3,5 cm hole prolongating each shelf. As taller one are a bit to deep, foam has been glued on the floor to raise it.
Other tool storage is made from a tobacco box (wide and small) and a dairy dessert metal box (taller one).
Before gluing them, I used the widest one to mark the bottommost shelves to ease a correct cut.
boxes have been glued on the floor with hot glue.
To fill the gap between them, I sculpted two little part of foam and a part of cardboard is glued on their side.
Step 5: Painting (optional)
For a smarter look, shelves have been painted with white gouache.

Twitter -- Add me
You may have noticed that I added a Twitter link on the sidebar. I've gotten a bit more active on Twitter lately, and I might occasionally put some content there that I don't here.
It's interesting, although I tend to be an early adopted of most new technological things (especially if they're not on the hardware side), I've never gotten into Twitter until recently. Perhaps partly because when it first came out I thought it was essentially mainly for texting, and I've always hated text messages. And then just no one in my circle used Twitter much, so there there was no 'network effect' for me. But I've started to appreciate it. So, if you might grant me a favor, follow me so I have more of a reason to use it. @PerryVsWorld

Dear Sandra: I like your version better than Mancini's. I heard the shuffle of feet, the clink of glasses, whispered intentions and your own heart singing. Mine joined yours in the chorus!ReplyDelete
good rhythm, Sandra. Paints a vivid picture regardless of culture. A picture anyone can relate to whether they were there or not, even if they weren't born yet.ReplyDelete
Ah yes, the good ol' days, when one could find a 'Plod' when needed. Now you gotta wait til he finishes his 3rd cup of coffee and has another doughnut before he calls for backup. What changed it all?
Somewhat red-faced I find only on my third Googling that the version of 'Summer Place' I was hearing was Percy Faith and not Mancini - apologies.ReplyDelete
And thank you all for your expressions of enjoyment - much appreciated

It's so interesting to get the British version of the time- I can taste it, the music still settled in my soul- great SandraReplyDelete
This packages the free spirit of youthful zeal wrapped in rich prose of English Tudor and tweed, with bows of reminiscences to which I can relate--and it's a gift to read :)ReplyDelete
Ah Sandra,you never fail to delight and inspire me with your work, I can see it all, taste the excitement, humming on the air..... a lovely gift at 10 o'clock on Sunday morning, thank you.ReplyDelete
This is a wonderful postcard from the past. Underage drinkers slipping out the back door; new men in town for new conquests; the world so full of possibilities. Theme from "A Summer Place" for slow dancing. I genuinely loved this.ReplyDelete
I purposely waited a while to comment on this evocative tale because Sandra had advised with her submission that this piece would introduce a longer story and I wanted to see where she was taking the characters. That story is unfolding now on her blog, and it is terrific. I am so happy she chose to begin at MuDJoB. This piece can stand alone, but if you get hooked by it, as I did, there is plenty more to satisfy over at Lines of Communication.ReplyDelete
Michael - I so much appreciate you taking the first episode of this story: it is gradually being posted on linesofcommunication, but is also in its entirety on http://thesphere.ning.com/profile/SandraDavies.ReplyDelete
A follow up piece, entitled Reunion, will tell the tale of Sean and Bridie some five years down the line - yet to be published.

Note: The title comes from the second sentence of the first chapter of If On a Winter's Night a Traveler.
"Whatever it may be, this is a novel where, once you have got into it, you want to go forward, without stopping (Calvino 76)."
I began this blog nearly a full year ago. My first essays consisted of some shaky (although well-intentioned) analyses of Italo Calvino's Six Memos For the Next Millennium and Invisible Cities (click here for that effort...there are a few errors on the novel's meaning, but for the most part, my literary theory heart was in the right place). Just recently, I finished Calvino's If On a Winter's Night a Traveler, which is generally tied with Invisible Cities when his most influential works are discussed. Both novels have their vast differences, but both have writing, reading, and storytelling studies as their primary sources. I cannot believe that it has taken me this long to read If On a Winter's Night a Traveler, and furthermore I cannot believe that it never appeared on any syllabus I had in college.
One of my biggest sources of irritation is the sheer number of books available on publishing and writing, specifically books geared towards people who never write (or read, for that matter), but just might (in the hopes of the publisher, who doesn't want the manual to be remaindered) have that "big bestseller" in them. Dozens of these books offer formulas and tips for writing bestsellers. While the great novels do have similarities, it's impossible to write a lasting work simply by punching in ideas into a sort of literary algorithm. These writing books should be replaced by If On a Winter's Night for two reasons. One, it contains intangible advice that cannot be found in any manual, and two, it would simply laugh in the face of anyone who takes them seriously.
The "plot" behind If On a Winter's Night is well known, so I won't spend much time on its tangible summary. Calvino introduces a second-person character ("You," the reader) who teams up with a young female reader, trying to solve a vast publishing mistake, one that quickly turns into a subtle love story (or, more appropriately, an attraction based on reading) and a literary conspiracy. Yes, this does sound like it could be the plot of a mindless bestseller. However, as Terrance at Blogsmos writes about the book:" If all you read is Clive Cussler adventures or Nora Roberts romances, this book will probably just frustrate the hell out of you." There are various "chapters" mixed in, each from different fictional novels, all in very different styles, each originating from publishing mishaps and lost, secret manuscripts that tie into what can be loosely identified as the actual story of the book. However, the beauty lies in the fact that there is no actual straightforward story. In the rare example of a book jacket description that is on the money, the back of my edition states: "Italy's most brilliant modern writer shows that the novel is capable of endless mutations."
I remember one of my teachers in college poking fun at the class for constantly mentioning Calvino's sheer enthusiasm in relation to Six Memos For the Next Millennium. This teacher mocked us, saying something along the lines of "Ohh, Calvino! He's so nice!" However, it happens to be one of Calvino's skills--few writers could have pulled off a serious, postmodern, intellectual novel about the benefits and trials of reading and writing, held together with the aforementioned enthusiasm. Calvino shows that it's possible to maintain intelligence and excitement in the same conversation. In the book, hardly three pages will go by without an amusing passage or a play on language:
"To open the gate for me there was the gravedigger I had already met at The Star of Sweden. 'I am looking for Mr. Kauderer,' I said to him.
He answered, 'Mr. Kauderer is not here. But since the cemetery is the home of those who are not here, come in (65)."
"Hold on a minute. Concentrate. Take all the information that has poured down on you at once and put it in order. A Polish novel. Then the book you began reading with such involvement wasn't the book you thought but was a Polish novel instead. That is the book you are now so anxious to procure. Don't let them fool you. Explain clearly the situation. 'No, actually I don't really give a damn about that Calvino any more. I started the Polish one and it's the Polish one I want to go on with. Do you have this Bazakbal book?'(28)
Another aspect of the book's brilliance is that the main discussions on writing and reading could go on for hundreds more pages. In one passage, Calvino offers a hypothetical look at a tormented writer and a productive writer. One would assume, based on the descriptions, that they would be very different. However, Calvino highlights the differences with similarities and contradictions, emotions and sketches that become interchangeable to the point that the two writers could easily be the same person. The passage below does not do this idea total justice, but it helps:
"She returns to the productive writer the tormented writer's novel in the productive writer's manner, and to the tormented writer the productive writer's novel in the tormented writer's manner. Both, seeing themselves counterfeited, have a violent reaction and rediscover their personal vein (175)."
If On a Winter's Night a Traveler closes with readers in a library, offering their various views on reading styles and what they personally pick up from a given book. This ending is nearly perfect, since throughout the book, both the reader and writer are shown as conflicted entities with endless dimensions, two groups of people who would not exist without the other. While I've mentioned the idea of contradictions, I'll close with one brief passage that, to me, seems to encapsulate a few of the book's arguments. In these few words, Calvino creates a possible summary, complete with the necessary contradictions. This is one of the few passages I've ever read that have stopped me in my tracks, so to speak.
"'With my spyglass I can observe a woman who is reading on a terrace in the valley,' I told her. 'I wonder if the books she reads are calming or upsetting.'
'How does the woman seem to you? Calm or upset?'
'Then she reads upsetting books (192-3).'"

Greetings and Salutations! My name is Jeremiah Johnson, the newest addition to the Ready Nutrition team, and for my first article I wish to review a true gem of a book that you may find extremely valuable in your preparedness library. The work is entitled, "Eat the Weeds," written by Ben Charles Harris. My edition is an older edition (Library of Congress Catalog #73-83951), however do not let its age dissuade you: it is currently in print and has not been amended. The book contains a plethora of information based in research that can definitely help you from perspectives of nutrition, home budgeting, and preparedness.
Regarding the previous sentence, the book's wealth of comprehensive charts and tables cannot be overstated. Mr. Harris provides a comparison between Dandelions (Taraxacum officinale) and Lettuce (1 pound of each) from a nutritional perspective; he listed the protein, fat, and carbohydrate composition of each, as well as all of their major vitamins and minerals. While lettuce has 3.8, 0.6, and 9.1 grams of protein, fat, and carbohydrates per pound respectively, dandelion has 12.3, 3.2, and 40.0 grams of these.
The same chart lists dandelion with 61, 970 IU of Vitamin A, 849 mg of Calcium, and 163 mg of Vitamin C. Is this not amazing? My wife was recently diagnosed with Cataract, and Dr. James Balch recommends that Vitamin A be taken to maintain the eye in amounts of 25,000 – 50,000 IU daily, with no more than 10,000 IU daily if pregnant. Vitamin C can be taken up to 12,000 mg daily to destroy free radicals and help with intraocular pressure. You can bet that we will be gathering a ton of it when springtime sets in (for us, not until May/June).
The book covers in great detail such herbs (as Bedstraw, Burdock, Chamomile, Coltsfoot, Horseradish, Irish Moss, Meadowsweet, Nettle, Shepherd's Purse, Sorrel, and Yellow Dock) to name a few. The vitamin and mineral content of these and many others are listed in tabular form. Mr. Harris surrounds these facts with instructions on which parts are edible and/or medicinal, when to gather them (their proper seasons), how to preserve them (whether by canning or drying/dehydrating), and how to prepare them in various forms and recipes.
Page 230 lists in chart form the characteristics of Sunflower seed flour and its comparison with other flours (wheat and rye, to name a few) from a nutritional perspective of protein, fat, carbohydrates, and the vitamin and mineral contents. Mr. Harris listed his sources for all of his research; my ongoing project is to locate as many of these references as possible. Page 40 provides an outstanding reference entitled "Table of Average Nutrient Values of Edible Herbs" that, in my estimation is in itself worth obtaining the book.
One comprehensive guide that can be used to supplement this work is "Tabers's Cyclopedic Medical Dictionary," because it holds a tremendous amount of information and tables regarding herbs. The earlier editions (editions 14 and before) also have food tables that break down foods commonly found in the grocery store in tabular form; however, my edition (the 19th) only has tables for the herbs in relation to medicinal herbalism. The reason it is worthwhile is that it gives the RDA's for different vitamins and minerals and their limits; such can be tied into your "weed" gathering excursions to prevent over dosages and to find how these may interact with any medications you may be currently prescribed for.
Mr. Harris also gives precautionary advice on the different flora entailed in his book. The description of Jewel Weed (Impatiens biflora), for example, on page 157 also warns the herb gatherer, "Always eat Jewel-weed with other vegetables. If too much of older plants is consumed, the therapeutically-active minerals may cause mild purgation." The book contains such advice on each and every edible wild plant as needed. Also included are other commonly known names (in this instance, "Touch-me-not") as well as the scientific names as illustrated in this article.
Advice on canning and dehydration can be found readily throughout the work. My advice here is to contact your local County Extension Office for more information concerning altitudes and types of canning jars to use that are applicable to wild crafting and gathering in your area. Another tool you may wish is a good, hard backed field manual on wild edible plant identification. I strongly recommend one with good color photographs to clearly and accurately identify any herbs and plants you are gathering. I have one entitled "Field Guide to North American Edible Plants," ISBN 0-442-22200-9 with over 350 color photos, in hardback edition (more durable in the woods and inclement weather).
To summarize, Eat the Weeds is an invaluable guide that can serve you in whatever capacity is needed, be it nutrition on a budget, herbalism, or preparedness in general. An old axiom states: "You're only as good as your reference materials." This axiom holds true. Eat the Weeds can be a powerful tool for you to refer to. The book reveals that your backyard may not be merely a lawn, but a previously undiscovered wild garden yielding nutritional salads and foods for your whole family. Read well and be well!

Thanks Ray, but is it testable? And if so how? Someone has to tell those in authority in China that it is a serious hypothesis and only they are in a geographical position to test it, by finding the location of the glass mine that is still open. And that the economic stakes for them are high. Personally I find it a plausible hypothesis, and once they having found the glass mine(s) (which would cost nothing but that of a few modest bribes and promises of collaboration), if it fits they can go to work on the craters (which would cost more, even tho' we know exactly where they are, because any hard local evidence of impact will have been obscured by subsequent volcanism). And they need to recognise that it would capture their own public's imagination, such being of critical important to politicians the world over.
