The Utah judicial establishment has debated for decades whether it should join the majority of state court systems and allow television cameras to record and broadcast proceedings. Proponents have argued cameras would bring more transparency, while opponents have worried they might disrupt courtroom decorum.
By deciding to grant liberal access to cameras beginning this month, the judiciary has done the responsible thing. Now, the broadcast media must act responsibly.
The Utah Judicial Council voted to allow a single television "pool" camera to be present in both civil and criminal trials. The experience of others states indicates commotion caused by the presence of cameras is relatively rare. But there remains concern that a camera, no matter how discreetly placed, might still contribute to a circus atmosphere, especially in high-profile cases.
It is a fact of life that cases lending themselves toward the sensational are the ones most likely to attract news crews. The vast majority will involve criminal cases, where emotional testimony and dramatic evidentiary displays – now recorded on video -- will provide tantalizing fodder for the producers of evening newscasts.
The public interest in allowing cameras in courtrooms is that it may enlighten the citizenry on the functioning of its judicial institutions while also enhancing accountability. It is not to increase ratings for local TV news. Responsible media will take advantage of their new levels of access to produce reports that educate as well as inform. Less responsible media will err toward the salacious.
On balance, the Judicial Council is to be commended for its judicious approach to the issue. Rules will be in place to allow judges discretion to remove cameras or restrict their use depending on the circumstances of the proceedings. A chief concern is the comfort of witnesses – especially victims of crime – who are anxious about testifying and even more anxious about being widely identified as someone who has taken the witness stand.
The council also decided to take an unprecedented step by addressing the use of smartphones and other devices and systems that have sprung up in a wave of technological innovation. They cannot be used to photograph proceedings, but journalists and others who may wish to send instant updates through social media or other platforms will now have some latitude to do so.
It is a significant step toward allowing for better real-time coverage of proceedings, as well as opening them up to a wider audience. The court system serves the citizenry, and citizens have always been welcome behind courthouse doors, with some exceptions. Now, through the medium of television, more people will be privy to the give-and-take of important litigation, assuming, of course, that those who edit and disseminate the recordings do so in a journalistically sound manner.
We are fortunate in Utah to be served by electronic media outlets generally disposed toward fair and objective reporting. Video recordings can help tell the story in more direct fashion.
The Judicial Council is wise to have recognized the greater good is served by allowing for more openness. Justice may be blind, but the process in which it is delivered is something the general public should be able to see.

Recently uploaded the Yoast plugin - super excited - Since the plugin was installed we no longer come up in Google - I am talking a matter of days for this to happen :/
However, when I google search the URL within google it does show - I am sure it (may) not be Yoast and just something that I have not activated or an incompatibility of some sort, but any ideas on what could have happened since the installation? I have run through all the tutorials and blog posts trying just about everything... any help would be tremendously appreciated!

Teahouse of the Garden Tools: Before
This rusted and damaged old shed served as a home for garden tools in our backyard. In August 2001, George demolished the old shed and started building a Japanese-inspired "teahouse" for his tools. Before he started work, however, he researched teahouses on the Internet and at San Jose's many local Japanese gardens. Then we drew an outline of their teahouse in the dirt in the backyard—which we are glad we did because George had been planning on making the structure 10 feet by 12 feet, and that would have taken up too much room in the yard. He decided to make it 8 feet by 10 feet instead. —George and Connie from San Jose, CA

The Thing
This is my interpretation of the Addams Family's The Thing. It is a five finger walker that can also make gestures.
The intension of this robot is to live in the window of our local skateboard shop and show a wrist watch.
The robot presents the watch. In it's own unique way.
There is a lot of open questions about mechanics, materials, locomotion and the kinematics in general. Step by step each question gets answered. From me - and the collective wisdom of LMR.
The Making
After reading a lot about human hand anatomy and DIY robot hands I started using simple materials to prototype the mechanics.
There are some inspiring ideas inside our hands. Simplified this ideas can be applied to The Thing.
Some simple straws became fingers for the first prototype. Then some water tube with a rubberband for tension.
Next prototype was made out of a pipe from the elecrician and rubber band. This design
and the pipe variant seemed adequate enough to elaborate more on the mechanics.
To elaborate more my own left hand became the model to find the dimensions and shape of the bones.
Each bone got cut from a long plastic pipe...
...and shaped according my fingers.
After an hour of cutting all parts where there.
Then I drilled a hole into each fingers tip. To make shure the hot-glue sticks to the bone the bone got grinded a bit raw.
My luck two comments came in at the right time. MarkusB suggested a technique that is very interesting and in my focus now. Gareth suggested an other idea and made me consious about the finger-to-hand-fixation problem.
Some plastic foam material with acceptable tension is centered now inside the finger and makes the finger-move-back-straight motion look very human.
There - five fingers. First gestures.
A CD was used as a base to glue the fingers on.
The fingers are in position.
Now the servo positions had to be found.
Thought that is clever to make a plate to fix the servos to. But later it turned out, that it is
better to embed the servos there where ther is place.
Then I soldered a servo breakout board to connect all the servos to the power. And
the PWM that gets connected to the microcontroller.
To provide power there came the idea to embed the VIN with the voltage regulator and several GNDs into a mint tin.
This is what I did and wrote this Something Else for it: Voltage Regulator in a Mint Tin.
Meanwhile I got a little distracted and went on to create a Tesla Coil to supply electricity
through air, gave a course for kids in robotics, studied the anatomy of the hand again, soldered
an analog line follower, got my Rasperry Pi, made a prototype of a small belt-conveyor,
held a lesson in software-engineering at this University of Applyed Science and built
a curved obstacle in the skatepark.
After this break the servo breakout board and the servos got tested. All fine.
Then the hand got extended with cable shafts to safely define the line where the
cables go through.
Where to place the servos is a question that followed me all the time. This mechanical
detail gave me a hard time. Not that it isn't obvious where to place them. The
human anatomy shows where they would be fitted: Close to the elbow in the
lower arm. This arm length is what I did not want. The Thing should be rather short.
So the arm should be as short as possible - only as long as needed and that it
looks good. So several servo position variants were elaborated.
Late in the night I started the dremel and grinded out the shape of a hand. But it was
so loud I had to stop and instead of grinding I started to melt out the hand shape.
The material I use here is Polystrol.
Further Readings
Simple Animatronic Hand
This hand is made from readily available materials. It serves as a good starting point for further work that might include the use of servos, remote controlling and more advanced animatronics.
A Gentler Robotic Touch
Simple and versatile robotic hands can grip a football or pick up your keys.
6 DOF Robot Hand
The primarily function of the hand is to display hand gestures. The thumb has two degrees of freedom.
Voltage Regulator in a Mint Tin
Here is a voltage divider that is hacked into a Mint Tin. In goes 12V, out comes 12V and 5V.
(Lense: Loftus)
Nice idea to use a robot as
Nice idea to use a robot as a shop window hand mannequin. But be careful...
Regarding fingers. I did a lot of experiments with different finger set-ups as well. One of the best solutions I found is as follows:
The tendon is a ø 0.5 mm nylon string (fishing line). The tension joints are made from a 6 mm thick silicone pad stripe and glued with 2-component epoxy into the PVC tubes. The fingertip is made from 2-component putty. I got the general idea of flexible joints from here: http://www.technologyreview.com/demo/421385/a-gentler-robotic-touch/

Maintaining the ability to give ''frank and independent''
advice as well as work in partnership with the Department of
Conservation will be a challenge for Otago's new conservation
board, department partnerships manager Barry Hanson says.
A new-look Otago Conservation Board - heavy with tourism and
business representatives - has been appointed.
Concerns over the release of grass carp to control weed in
North Otago irrigation canals have been raised by the Otago
Conservation Board, but as reporter Sarah Marquet finds out,
there is more to the story.
Otago's endangered wildlife and habitats are ''on their own''
because the Government's cuts and policies are undermining
the processes set up to protect them, former Otago
Conservation Board chairwoman Associate Prof Abby Smith says.
With its future hanging in the balance, the Otago
Conservation Board has cancelled its next meeting.
Six places on Otago's Conservation Board will become vacant
next year so the hunt is on for people with an interest in
The possibility of amalgamation between Otago and Southland's
conservancies and boards is not something the Otago
Conservation Board is aware of, chairwoman, Associate Prof
Abby Smith says.
Plans for boutique accommodation to be provided in the
historic St Bathans Post Office building have raised the ire
of the village's heritage and environment preservation trust.
The Otago Conservation Board may understand why Port Otago
wants to dredge the Otago Harbour, but it is concerned about
the effect of such activity on the Aramoana salt marsh.
The Otago Conservation Board made history yesterday by
electing its first chairwoman.

Peppers at 10, which seems low.
The Sea Wants To Take Me
11/14/2009 – Michigan 24, Wisconsin 45 – 5-6, 1-6 Big Ten
Well, I finally broke: I've checked out emotionally. This happened last year, too, and the game columns from the on were pleas for something else to do and grim, brief recaps of the latest indignity. It's progress of a sort that it took eleven games for the team to TKO any interest in what might happen the rest of this year, but it's not a fun sort of progress.
A serious thematic analysis of the Wisconsin game is pointless. Michigan's defense is exactly as horrifying as it's been all year. Everyone wants to fight each other in the liveblog. When the MGoPosse assembled to record this week's podcast, Paul said "at least we didn't muff a punt" and I responded "they didn't punt." (It turns out they did punt once in the first half, and Junior Hemingway misjudged a short one, almost fumbling it.)
Today I'll go on the radio and say the exact same things I've been saying all season to people who say the exact same things they've been saying all season. Here I could either repeat the assertion that firing Rodriguez after two years is idiotic or the description of what this season turned into in the third quarter of the Illinois game. Nothing has changed, and there's nothing to say when the team is turning in uncompetitive loss after uncompetitive loss.
There is an increased chance that sometime today I will read or hear something that cause my entire body to crumple and my head to thump audibly on the desk. So I guess that's different. Not different: for the second straight year the Ohio State week is only welcome because after it there won't be this unpleasant thing that happens every Saturday. The Notre Dame game seems like another decade.
- Surprised that Mouton and Ezeh got the whole game after their backups played at least as well as they did against Purdue. I guess there were huge busts by both Fitzgerald and Leach, but… um… right.
- Seriously: after Wisconsin completed their sixth or seventh big gain over the middle because Ezeh and Mouton were hugely out of position on zone drops, I was begging for the backups. No dice. The prospect of starting these guys next year is not fun.
- I'm betting the adjustment Wisconsin made to their running game was to start doubling defensive linemen for real and leaving the linebackers to their own devices, or down-blocking them on their slants and getting outside where the linebackers are on their own. Michigan was shooting into the backfield a ton early.
- Poor Brandon Graham: if Michigan would just cover anyone for two seconds he would have an incredible number of sacks this year. It wasn't Graham who had the most frustrating non-sack on Saturday, though. Stevie Brown came free up the middle on a third and five in the third quarter and Tolzien nailed a wide open tight end for a first down. That turned into the drive Wisconsin used to go up three scores, salting the game away.
- Vincent Smith is now your tentative leader for the starting tailback job next year, though that title figures to be a ceremonial one in a sea of options. I know Shaw's had the occasional nagging injury but I think he's just beat him out, fair and square. My favorite play from Smith was the screen he took past three or four defenders in the first half. He was one desperate hand-wave by a Wisconsin safety away from
a touchdowna long run that looks like it should be touchdown but disappointingly ends short of it. He's got skills. There was one out that was incomplete that anyone else on the team would have caught by virtue of being bigger than a marmot, though.
- Brandon Smith seemed pretty mediocre on the edge. I know he didn't make any of the huge, obvious mistakes that Mike Williams did, but Wisconsin isn't the sort of team that puts you in the backfield unblocked to make a huge, obvious mistake. I bet a lot of the outside running Wisconsin did will be on Smith somehow.
- I did think Wisconsin was the grabbiest line Michigan's played against all year. Wisconsin's first drive saw Graham held twice on long completions, and while they got a number of calls later they just love getting their hands outside the shoulder pads. Default disclaimer whenever officiating as mentioned: would not have changed outcome of the game, would merely have led to more second-and-twenty conversions. Maybe I should thank the refs for mitigating the damage I would have done to my forehead and the sidewalk if I watched another guy wide open over the middle.

Not a lot of change near the very top. Ohio State is a big mover on the basis of their victory over Iowa. I may have punished the Hawkeyes a bit too much, but I think the loss to Northwestern (at home) should have been punished a little more harshly. Of course, now there's the matter of Ohio State's home loss to USC looking much, much worse.
The biggest riser in the poll is Stanford. Despite their bad loss to Wake, they have two of the most impressive wins in the country, beating the crap out of a top-10 team and a top-20 team in consecutive weeks.
LSU confirmed my skepticism of them, squeaking by Louisiana Tech in a game that wasn't really decided until well into the fourth quarter.
I kinda think Texas Tech should drop out, but that raises the familiar problem of finding a team to plug in. Might Navy be that team? Their only losses are to Ohio State, Pitt, and... uh... Temple. But wait! Temple is actually kinda good this year! It is a mystery. I'm open for suggestions on what to do towards the end, always.
Comments on anything and everything in the ballot are welcome.
Michigan 97, Northern Michigan 50
Michigan (1-0, 0-0 Big Ten)
When a college basketball player scores a triple-double, it's likely his team had a pretty good game. When he does it after 29 minutes of play, and is able to take to the bench for significant garbage time, it's guaranteed. Manny Harris did just that, recording only the second triple-double in Michigan basketball history last night in the Wolverines' 97-50 romp over D-2 Northern Michigan. He finished with 18 points, 13 rebounds, and 10 assists. Just about the only thing that made Wolverine fans unhappy was Beilein's decision not to go for the century mark in the final minute.
For much of the game, it seemed like the offense wasn't running that smoothly, and the majority of Michigan's points were coming in fast break situations (or only shortly thereafter). There are a number of things that probably factor into this: freshmen getting used to the pace of an actual game in college, including one at point guard; overmatched opponent didn't require running too much of the offense; early season jitters. I think the jitters may have played a role, as the team started sketchy from the line, with Manny Harris missing one, and LLP and Anthony Wright each having a bad miss. They settled down from the stripe as the game went on, and the team missed just one freebie in the second half.
Freshman Matt Vogrich showed he can shoot the hell out of the ball, making all 5 of his shot attempts, each of them from behind the arc. Zack Novak, on the other hand, was unable to continue his hot streak from the last game, missing on both of his 3-balls. DeShawn Sims led all scorers with 22 points. Zack Gibson is still good for a couple really athletic plays per game and a couple awkward ones, including having a guard rip a rebound out of his hands. I still don't like Anthony Wright as a useful piece of this team. He misses 100% of the shots he doesn't take... and nearly all the ones that he does take. Sure, he can get hot at times (see: NCAA Tournament game against Oklahoma), but that's the exception, not the rule.
Other personnel notes: Laval Lucas-Perry didn't score a lot, but did a pretty good job running the point when he was asked to do so. A host of walkons got in at the end of the game (Akunne, Bartelstein, Puls, and Person), and they played with Ben Cronin. After the game, Beilein said that he would have liked Cronin to get a bit more time, but he has a hand injury (his right hand was heavily taped during the game) that limits him from shooting or catching the ball. That injury should be fine by Friday.
The defensive intensity looked really good to start the game, and the players were being really aggressive in the zone. I can see why it's so helpful to have a 6-4 guy at the top of the zone, rather than somebody who's generously listed at 6-0. There were instances where the team was able to trap Northern's players, but they didn't actually record too many turnovers. As the game wore on and it became apparent that the Wildcats wouldn't be posing a serious threat, the intensity cooled off a bit, and I think there might have even been more reliance on man defenses, though I haven't re-watched the game to confirm.
Postgame Quotes:
- "They told me I had three assists to get [the triple double] and that's when I knew and I kinda counted from there." Manny Harris, on whether he knew he was approaching the triple-double.
- "I think anybody could get 10 assists, because we shoot the ball so well." Manny Harris.
- "He'll probably miss one or two [in practice], but we know he can shoot." Manny Harris on Matt Vogrich's shooting performance. "Class of 2013 right there. I was real happy for him. He's a shooter and I think he proved that out there today. I think you guys will be seeing a lot more of that from him." Darius Morris on Vogrich's performance.
- "For Manny to go out there and make plays, that's what he does: he's a playmaker." Darius Morris on Manny Harris's triple-double.
- "He trusts these shooters, and he relishes the assists as much as he does the points." John Beilein on Manny Harris's performance.
- "I like Stu coming in at that 13-minutes mark, because he's got that arm warmed up and ready to roll." John Beilein on bringing Stu Douglass off the bench.
- "I think he'll be fine by next weekend but he can't shoot right now and catch right now because his right hand still bothers him." John Beilein on Ben Cronin's injury.
- "Our defense has to improve, and I thought this was a good start today. Tomorrow when we watch film, there will be 50 or 60 cuts, and we'll spend an hour in there telling them what we gotta do better." John Beilein on the team's defense.

Henri the Otter of Ennui is the new mascot of posting restrictions.
Post-Illinois restrictions back: 20 to comment, 500 to start new threads/diaries. Will be in effect until Monday morning.
Justification I probably don't need to provide: seriously dislike new registrants who sign up just to flame and would rather proactively cut them off than have to read it. Criticism is fine from people who have established themselves as part of the community.

Dear Diary: 11-13-09
Rounding up the week's best in user-created content.
A little off the wall choice for the diarist of the week. Captain Obvious writes an awesome set of lyrics about the state of Michigan's football team:
It's a punt block when it's already too late
It's a no-punting sign on your Space Emperor's leg
It's like ten thousand Slots when you need is a MIKE
It's meeting the Center of my dreams
And then meeting his shredded up knee
And isn't it ironic... don't you think
A little too ironic... and yeah I really do think...
It's like rain on Homecoming Day
It's a blown punt when you've already faked
It's the three points that you just couldn't take
Who would've thought ... it figures
Congratulations, Captain Obvious, you are the Diarist of the Week.
michelin looks at similarities between the overall trajectories of the Notre Dame and Michigan football programs.
The promising thing is that, unlike ND, UM has more, not less, starters coming back for the next two years. Clearly, it's way too early to tell—as Brian has intimated today—but I can't help worrying that we might end up like ND if we keep getting rid of coaches before they can build their program.
I think at this point, there's no (rational) fan calling for Rich Rodriguez to be fired at least until the end of next year, so this overall worry may not be an issue. I still recommend clicking through because lolnd.
On a similar note, Brady2Terrell looks at the 47 coaches who have started their Big Ten coaching careers with 2 consecutive losing seasons:
*5 (10.6%) have won even a single Big Ten title;
*5 (10.6%) have finished their tenure with even a winning record;
*2 (4.3%) have won at least one Big Ten title AND finished with a winning record; and
*0 have won national titles.
The numbers aren't pretty, but there's still hope ahead for Michigan fans. Like he says, it's not that we're screwed, it's that we're in uncharted territory here. A positive comparison would likely require winning one or both of the last two games. Hey, then Rich can be like... Jackie Sherrill?
TAMU was 5-5 going into its final game at Texas, which was playing for the SWC Title. TAMU blew out the Horns in Austin, something like 38-12, sending the Horns to one of those nondefunct bowls. The 6-5 record wasn't good enough for a bowl game in those days (unless you were ND or UM) so TAMU stayed home but the win in Austin took all of the heat off of Sherrill.
TAMU went on to win 3 consecutive SWC titles in 85-86-87 and beat Texas each year. Sherrill had finally "arrived" at a school where Football is king over the other sports.
Let's hear it for positivity!
The week started off with some seriously emo posts following the Purdue loss. Geaux_Blue said:
I guess why I made this diary is simple. For those of us All In, the road is narrow and uphill. The likelihood is 5-7 and the off-season is going to be months of looking at checkbooks and wondering "why did I spend $50 to drink at the bar and watch non-Siller shred us in November." This is difficult and not even close to the experience of overcoming kneeshoulderelbowhead like Forcier or any player is facing. But the fanbase has its own wounds. And they're licked (that's what she said).
A rational take for the fanbase that continues to support Michigan.
Lordfoul sums up what we know coming out of the Purdue game. In condensed form:
- Michigan has the worst defense in the B10.
- The offense continues to improve.
- This confluence of probabilities is not favorable for the current coaching staff. Michigan is known for giving its coaches time and not being hasty in firings. That said this situation may not right itself in time to save Rich Rod and friends even given the extra slack.
- I would put it at at least improbable that we will win either of our last two games this season.
- Danny Hope is an asshole.
I disagree with point #3. Dude, there's no way Rich gets fired after two years, and a (highly likely) bowl game is probably enough progress to save his hide for another year. He may get fired after that, but it wouldn't be because there wasn't enough time, it would be because he was given enough time and failed.
hekdchi looks at what has improved between year 1 and year 2 of the Rodriguez era:
This entry will list the raw numbers of Michigan's 2008 season versus the 2009 season thus far to demonstrate where the team has and has not improved in the Rich Rodriguez era.
Hint: offense good, defense bad. This is probably not terribly surprising to anyone. Of note is that the defense is giving up fewer points than last year, and has improved in a couple other categories (though slightly). Expanding on that idea is clarkiefromcanada, who takes umbrage with the use of the term "regression":
Like all of you I am totally frustrated with how this is working out this year; however, I am sick and tired of the naysayers, trolls and newbie idiots posting the exact same material on "regression".
Amen. Especially since it's totally fair to expect a defense that lost half of its starters will get a little worse. Speaking of losing all those starters, Misopogon gives a handy graphical representation of his stellar "Decimated Defense" series. There are kittens involved. Jokewood also shows that even the sheer numbers, especially of upperclassmen, are a sign that Michigan isn't going to be a great defense:
The rest of the Big Ten averages 50% more upperclassmen on defense. We are dead last in the conference by a wide margin in terms of experienced defensive players. Purdue and Notre Dame - the two teams closest in terms of youth - also have terrible defenses, against which Michigan averaged 35 ppg this year.
It may be a while before the numbers are worked out, too.
Steve Sharik's awesome X-and-O post was frontpaged; you're probably familiar with it.
Familiarize yourselves with the veer, fools.
Etc.: Wolverine in Exile runs down the BCS rankings. 909Dewey talks about expectations for Rich Rodriguez coming in, how they've shifted, and how he's living up to them. stubob previews the ugly games of the week. The Mathlete looks at the Purdue game by the numbers. I recommend you stop reading before you get to pass defense. The man... the myth... THE_KNOWLEDGE predicts coaching changes.

Pegasus Pony for Savage Spirit by WoosieWatch
©2006-2016 Woosie
This pegasus was made as a private commission for Savage Spirit and is meant to be a pegasus version of her real life pet horse. The base pony was originally a G3 My Little Pony named Sparkleworks. I removed the original symbol and rerooted the mane and tail with a lovely shade of reddish brown Saran hair. The wings were hand made from Apoxie Clay over a wire base. The wings, eyes, white marks on the face, legs and rear were all painted with acrylics and sealed for protection.
Oh, but I loved how sparkleworks looked as well... But her coat shade was a brilliant choice for this pony!
howed you make the wings

Spurs 94 – Grizzlies 68 in game 2 of the NBA playoffs. The TNT post-game show just showed the highlights of the game while Shaq and Charles Barkley talked about how big the women are in San Antonio. I'm not making this up. They didn't even try to talk about the game. This is just grim.

Got one of those people on your gift list who "has everything?"

People are really mad at this lady for asking parents to at least ask their kids to stop screaming. More
People are really mad at this lady for asking parents to at least ask their kids to stop screaming. More
Sometimes you just need to sit back and laugh at a woman jumping on a cake in the middle of Kroger. More
It might be entertaining as a private, family video that they show them when they are older but a child's tantrum should not be passed around the internet to make people laugh. More
When your toddler's toddler-ness is getting you down, you can take some small comfort in remembering that at least you don't have to parent any of these maniacal Disney characters. More
In a classic case of a nosy jerk not minding their own business, the police were called to investigate Charlize Theron and Sean Penn after noticing Theron's son screaming on the trail at Vasquez Rocks in Santa Clarita, CA. More
A young woman was punched in the face by a mother after telling her to quiet her screaming toddler who was having a tantrum in a shopping cart. Is it bad that I nearly cried laughing when I read the headline, "Woman punched after asking mother to quiet down child?" More
A week ago, a Mommyish colleague who shall remain anonymous said a mother yelled at her on the street for trying to talk to her daughter, who was in the middle of a tantrum. That was uncalled for, lady. Yelling at people trying to help you is never the right reaction, no matter how long your kid's been screaming. But this got us thinking, what should strangers do when they see a parent trying to cope with their kid's tantrum? More
As a mom of an almost four-year-old, I am proud to announce that I can read my toddler like a book. I know when his meltdowns are coming, and exactly what they are going to look like. I am not so proud to announce I have no idea how to stop them. The good thing is, if you can accurately measure where you are on the meltdown scale, you know how much time you have left to endure. It's like being able to see the tip of the mountain; you can begin telling yourself you'll get to the top eventually.
The terrible twos are simply a warm-up. They are an introductory phase that gets parents primed and ready for a dark future. Whoever coined the term "terrible twos" without emphasizing that it only gets worse when your child is three has done us all a grave disservice. Parents all around the land are doing what is tantamount to waiting for the Tooth Fairy or Santa to arrive. It's not happening. There is no Tooth Fairy, there is no Santa, and your toddler is still an asshole. Sorry. More
Surviving a shopping trip with multiple kids takes an iron will, great planning and pure luck. More
Picky eating is one of those parental arguments that seems to find people on two sides; those who say that there is not one thing you can do about kids who only want to eat chicken nuggets coated in Nutella, and those who say that those parents are deluded. More
Before I had kids, I was definitely one of the guilty ones. I would always give a flailing parent a quick glare or eye roll if their infant, toddler, or young child dared to scream at an unnaturally high decibel in public. More
The other day Sarah Fader wrote a post on Huffington Post Parents entitled 3-Year-Olds Are A**holes. I agree with her, and so have a lot of other articles on Mommyish, but even though toddlers might be their own special brand of asshole, they cannot compare to the utter assholy-ish-ness of teenagers. Three-year-olds may be assholes, but teenagers are stone cold motherfuckers. And I should know, because I have one. More
I don't think my kids are brats, but I'm sure every mother feels this way. My kids, growing up, weren't really prone to tantrums or big grocery store scenes or freaking out when I told them no. They have always been sort of laid back about things. But boy oh boy throughout my life have I encountered some kids who could be described as being bratty (or worse, but because I'm a nice person I won't describe them as being raging little fuckers, but you can be assured I am thinking that.) I'm not talking about kids who are just overtired or cranky or hungry, I'm talking about awful monster children. More

Blessé, Blessed
From my w-i-p graphic novel 'Sauptik: Blood and Flowers' © Amruta Patil 2016Been intrigued by the incongruity - or poignant connect - between the french word 'blessé' (injured), and the english word 'blessed' (béni). Always seemed like there was more there than met the eye. Here: Narsimha-like Bheem blessé Dusshasan. Meanwhile Karn is blesséd by Arjun as he channelises the sexiest pinup in Christian iconography, St. Sebastien.

The Arm of Mahadev / Bloodletting
From my w-i-p graphic novel 'Sauptik: Blood and Flowers' © Amruta Patil 2016
Had shared the predictable Flowers. It was time to share the Blood. Jayanta Mahapatra's 'Sunday' (thanks, Sumana Roy, for the lead) changed the way I perceived the act, visually:
"A hand of God
from the shapeliness
of the arm
where the flesh
had long bled out."

Don't know about any sporty arts books, but Tiberio is finishing up a food arts book, with lots of food tastefully arranged about ... um ... unclothed persons.
Thanks, you just brought back some acute memories of college dorm rooms....
Thanks, Jen + Slog readers. God, that Dali is made of awesome. I think that's a DIET Coke bottle. That's an athlete, after all.
