Something for everyone!
Curator Statement:
Art is disturbing because the reality it releases is disturbing.
From Arthur Danto, The Disenfranchisement of Art
"Taking it to the Streets: Grand Center" is an extension of the "Taking it to the Streets" exhibition at Gallery 210 on the UMSL campus. This program continues the celebration of the establishment of Gallery 210 by Jean Tucker at the University of Missouri Saint Louis forty-five years ago.
This exhibition takes its inspiration from the gallery's history of addressing social and political issues, in particular the exhibitions organized by Tom Kochheiser between 1987 through 1994. His exhibitions featured such notable artists as Sue Coe, Komar and Melamid, Hannah Wilke, Kerry Marshall, to name only a few, whose work addressed the stubborn problems of race, social injustice, and the then newly evolving politics of gender and sexuality.
The artists of "Taking it to the Streets" are commenting, in large part, on these same issues. The persistence of violence and injustice informs much of their work in the same way it has in previous decades. However, the strident tone of the earlier generation is largely absent in this work. The narratives and the final form of the artwork by the "Taking it to the Streets" artists are also shaped, in no small way, through the incorporation of storytelling and remembrance, as well as a deep involvement in their community.
Much of the art in "Taking it to the Streets" could be categorized as activist or political art. Such simple labeling makes it possible for some people to dismiss it as being only relevant to a particular time, place or some specific event, perhaps finding some value only in aesthetic appreciation. But that ultimately is a device to deflect meaningful engagement with the artwork.
It is reasonable to be skeptical of the notion that art, no matter how powerful or elegant its message, can be a catalyst for political or social change. But that is not how it works. Art functions as an agent of change because individually and over extended periods of time it has the power to move the mind, touch the heart and give hope for a better future.
Art making is an act of resistance. Artists taking a critical stance against a post-factual society are pushing back against the status quo, standing as truthful witnesses for their time.

Lois Ingrum - DOLL PROJECT
"Since 2008, my work has involved the photographic exploration of sacred folk art and handmade street monuments as an expression of public healing after violent deaths in our communities. In my work, I deconstruct the overlooked issues of class in American society, which seems to place more value on the loss of certain lives than others. As I began to explore my own community through the lens of my camera, my journey led me to 10 other cities across America. My work has addressed violence, grieving, and mourning, depicting an underlying need to place an impermanent reminder that death can happen to anyone, anywhere. My aim with the Doll Project is to create avenues for open dialogue that gives worth to ALL lives lived, no matter their status." - Lois Ingrum

DeAndrea Nichols - BLACK NOTES
"Black Notes is a multimedia exploration of one artist's life lessons, reflections, and observations configured in the midst and aftermath of protest and racial trauma. The body of work includes a wall of typographic artworks and visualized memories conveyed onto hundreds of black Post-it sticky notes. Stemming from a larger body of work, Sticky Note to Self, these notes represent the most complex and serious creations from the series, reflecting moments and changes within the American political landscape, intersectional ploys for human and civil rights, as well as concerns of gender, sexuality, economic, and racial equity. These notes are paired with a video projection that interweaves footage from moments of protests in Ferguson, MO, with a monologue series of memoirs about blackness and racial challenge. As a collection, "Black Notes" provides a literal visualization of lessons and notes portrayed on black surfaces while probing a larger inquiry into the intersections of race, justice, and the preservation of collective memories." - DeAndrea Nichols
De serves as Director of Civic Creatives, a social design organization that produces interactive events, tools, and services that foster the discovery, ideation, prototyping, and actualization of community-driven civic solutions.

Basil Kincaid
"I am a Vessel and emerging World Builder. I have been a vivid Dreamer ever since my early childhood, I am driven by dreams in concert with an ardent duty to humanity and the evolution of my family traditions, and I am guided by our connection to ancestral power, insight, and imagination.
My quest is to understand the wild tapestry of my own personal identity and cultural identity within the African Diaspora, contextualized by the framework of my American experience. I use this exploration to cultivate healing on a personal and cultural level, towards the remedy of Post Traumatic Slave Syndrome and the unification of the African Diaspora. While I am passionate about all areas of anti-bias work, social justice at the intersection of white supremacy, classism, and environmentalism are at the core of my creative questioning. Within my practice I seek to promote empathy, critical thought, and inclusion. I also observe how perception and prejudice are impacted by one's relationship to place and a sense of belonging or displacement. My lifelong goal is to co-create healing spaces that stimulate the ancestral memory of universal love as the true freedom within us, while activating participation in shared liberation as communities on local and global scales.
I take an interdisciplinary and collaborative approach to creative questioning and the creation of experiences, artifacts and art objects. I meditate, write, quilt, collage, install, photograph, perform, play, and invent games as gateways to understanding aspects of self and others. My work is site-specific and comprised of found, discarded, or donated materials with relevance to the place of cultivation. This methodology is an investigation of how waste is a reflection of lived experience.
The innovations, practices, and cultural products of Black America, West Africa, and Japan influence my stylistic approach. More specifically, I am interested in Black American folk and fine art, music, poetry, and family traditions." - Basil Kincaid
Basil Kincaid received his Bachelor of Arts in Studio Art in 2009 from Colorado College in Colorado Springs. He has worked extensively with BlankSpace in St. Louis, Missouri, from participating in exhibitions to planning "Cherokee Reach Street", a free Youth art camp. In 2016 he was a Guest Speaker for Harvard Graduate School of Education's Arts in Education Program exhibition. Basil was the receiver of the Arts Connect International Artist in Residence Grant, in which he did his residency in Ghana. His recent work has been called "R3clamation", an extension of his work he did in Ghana.
Howard Barry
"My artwork comes from both a compulsion to create and a need to make sense of the world around me. This particular installation features work built around the theme of Social Justice. Initially the drive and motivation behind these pieces was purely therapeutic. Although multiple mediums were used, the approach was the same for each of them, working passionately and intuitively, with a focus mainly on releasing my pain, frustration and anger in a non-destructive way.
Unlike any of my previous work, this series, was the first time I allowed myself to interject or release the full brunt of my pain into my work. What began as frantic sketches in my personal journal, using whatever media that was within reach (ink, watercolor, charcoal etc) evolved into quick and dirty narratives and expressive portraiture utilizing the pages of The St. Louis American Newspaper as a canvas. Residuals of a Traumatic Brain Injury quite often find me questioning my perception, and the choice to include the St. Louis American in the work was a way of grounding me and confirming that the events taking place were not figments of my creative imagination. In addition to grounding me, using The St. Louis American as a canvas, taught me a valuable lesson in dealing with my anger issues. The first few pieces I attempted to create on the newspaper were totally destroyed. In my heavy handed, aggressive, passionate attempts to draw on the paper, I kept ripping and tearing it, it forced me to learn temperance, to take the same passion, the same anger and adjust my strokes so that I still conveyed the same message, but didn't destroy the canvas in the process.
My Goal for the work in this series, is to challenge the viewers to slow down and take a closer look. Many times we feel as if we already know what is going on so we offer a quick glance and move on. As with much of my work, some of the pieces have hidden messages in them. At the very least I hope my work prompts thought and conversation regarding humanity, social justice and race.
"They say that a picture is worth a thousand words, and I have thousands and thousands of words concerning the things I see in the world around me, but I keep those words to myself for fear of being misunderstood or taken the wrong way and instead I just keep creating pictures." - Howard Barry
Howard Barry currently holds an Associate of Arts and Sciences in Graphic Design from St. Louis Community College-Meramec. He went on to pursue his Bachelor of Fine Arts in Graphic Design as well from the University of Missouri-St. Louis. He has described art as his "therapy and release" and says his current work is "an ongoing narrative of my own personal struggle to find peace and beauty in the midst of darkness and pain".

Stress : The biggest Enemy, How to deal ?
Guest Post by Vikramjeet Singh
Lack of concentration and getting nervous just before the commencement of exams is common among many students. While MBA exams going around, tension do gets build up. This tension may help you or worsen your condition during the exam. So, it all depends how you deal with your nerves. Your whole preparation for the respective entrance exam may get spoil, if you don't deal with it appropriately. I have seen many MBA aspirants not able to take test to their full expectations just because of nervousness and tension being created. So, it's a very serious matter of how to deal with undue stress and tensions.
Well, I am going to discuss few of the points which may really help you out in overcoming such undesired stress to do well in the exam.
1. Relax: This is the best thing to do before the test. Give your mind and your body some to relax. So that they can feel free and can regain the energy you spent during your late nights or early morning preparations for the test.
2. Avoid last minute preparation: I have seen many aspirants studying all through till last minute before the test. This Is the best technique to create undue stress in order to spoil your exam. Please, Avoid it. What you have not done till one day before the test, you can't do it in last few minutes. It may hamper the functioning of your mind. As, you are putting undue pressure on your mind to memorize the things in the last minute when you are already very nervous and
tensed due to the exam. It's better to give your mind enough time to relax so as to perform well.
3. Have FUN: "All work and no play make jack a dull boy". Fun doesn't come to an end with the tests. Do understand this. You do need break from your busy schedule so as to enjoy and remain calm during the exam. Even our mind need to cool down. Even our gadgets need rest as continuous working may hamper their functioning. So, go outside, Have chit-chat with your friends (not related to your studies of course). Have fun and this will provide you with much needed stamina for coping with exam stress and stay focus.
4. Accessory: Be prepared with you admit card, pencil, pens, eraser etc one day before the exam. Even looking for such things also creates stress. I am saying this from my personal experience. Also, go and have a look at your test center one or two day before the D-Day. Do not reach too early or too late for the test, as both affects your mind status. Do not eat too heavy. Otherwise you will doze during the test.
5. Stay positive: It is common human tendency to dream. So, most of us start thinking about the results even before taking the exam. And even that will unnecessarily create stress. Avoid it ! You are supposed to stay positive before the exam. Because confidence is one thing which can change the whole game. So, do not think of negative aspects as to what will happen after the exam. Just be focused on as to how you going to take the test. And that everything will be fine. Even Lord Krishna said in Mahabharta "Karam kar, Phal ki ichha mat kar" ( Do your work effectively, don't worry for the results ).
Last but not the least; hard work plays an important role in your success. Trust GOD, Be focused and confident and go for your test. All the Best.

Consistent with Government's best practice regulation requirements for sunsetting instruments, ASIC, after consulting stakeholders, has assessed the Class Order 02/246 (now contained in the instrument) is operating effectively and efficiently. Therefore, a Regulation Impact Statement is not required for remaking this class order without significant amendments.

A month after the city of Gainesville approved permits for St. Francis House to feed and house the homeless, McGurn Investment Co. challenged the decision, asking for a second hearing for the permit.
But on Tuesday, Ken McGurn said he would not be pursuing that appeal any longer.
A month after the city of Gainesville approved permits for St. Francis House to feed and house the homeless, McGurn Investment Co. challenged the decision, asking for a second hearing for the permit.
But on Tuesday, Ken McGurn said he would not be pursuing that appeal any longer.
"The intent [of the appeal] was to make sure they are obeying the law," McGurn said. "We'll officially notify the city tomorrow because it appears the St. Francis House is abiding by the rules. We just don't want the city to continue having this burden on the shoulders of the residents in the area around St. Francis House."
Ken McGurn and Linda McGurn were contesting only the portion of the permit that allows 130 meals to be served at St. Francis House. They are not opposed to the shelter portion of the facility located at 413 S. Main St.
Kent Vann, executive director of St. Francis House, said he had retained an attorney and was ready to defend St. Francis' permit.
"I think it's the fair thing to do for the people," Vann said when he heard that the appeal would be dropped. "To me it's not about the organization, it's about helping the individuals. So by him not pursuing it, it's not going to further harm the people who are presently getting help."
In an emotional and lengthy meeting in March, the City Plan Board decided to renew the St. Francis House's special-use permit, which is required for non-religious institutions to feed and house the homeless.
That permit allows 130 meals a day to be served and 30 destitute people to be housed.
However, Plan Board members mandated that St. Francis House adhere strictly to the 130 meals per day and not exceed that limit, regardless of demand from the hungry and homeless.
Vann said the shelter now opens its doors at 10:30 a.m. and serves exactly 130 meals before closing, which takes about an hour.
The appeal, which was filed at the end of April, states that McGurn and other downtown merchants "have been adversely affected by this decision and will continue to be adversely impacted by this decision in the future."
The challenge asserted that St. Francis House violated its previous special-use permit by feeding in "excess of 200 people," and that on those grounds the petition should have been denied.
According to the appeal, McGurn also was challenging the decision based on a city law that requires 2,000 feet of separation from similar social services agencies.
The Salvation Army shelter, which has existed at its current location since 1962, is less than 2,000 feet away from St. Francis House and existed when the city first granted the special-use permit to St. Francis House.
Additionally, the challenge says that St. Francis House is in violation of the city law regarding saturation, which states that no more than two food distribution centers for the needy may be in a two-mile radius.

Harvard economist Kenneth Rogoff starts off his latest essay with an attack on a man who has been dead 70 years: John Maynard Keynes. The father of modern interventionist economics would not be familiar with any logical solutions for the euro zone's debt problem, Rogoff says, as they involve fixing an entity with an integrated monetary union but no corresponding fiscal and banking union.
The attacking author is best known for a research paper with fellow Harvard professor Carmen Reinhart that links a slower growth rate with countries whose debts exceed 90% of gross domestic product. That made him synonymous with the movement for government austerity until another academic paper questioned his research methods.
But Rogoff's essay at times sounds as much like a defense of his own work as it does an attack on Keynes. He notes that despite the misguided nature of a growing Keynesian anti-austerity movement in Europe, he has never really advocated austerity alone. (That mirrors otherdefenses of his work.) He indicates that he really just doesn't support increased stimulus for problems that are structural, rather than cyclical.
Instead he promotes greater euro-zone integration, in part by putting the debt of financially trapped euro-zone nations on the balance sheet of Germany, with a helping hand from France. (Has he run that idea by German taxpayers?)
Here's his anti-Keynes solution:
"Above all, any realistic strategy for dealing with the euro-zone crisis must involve massive write-downs (forgiveness) of peripheral countries' debt. These countries' massive combined bank and government debt – the distinction everywhere in Europe has become blurred – makes rapid sustained growth a dream.
Germany will pay a price for all that debt forgiveness by having to help its banks (and probably some others), but all in the name of lowering the cost in the long run, he notes.
Keynes may not be alive to defend himself, but Huffington Post chief financial writer Mark Gongloff is. Gongloff's diagnosis of the piece: It actually reflects Keynesian ideologies. Here's his rebuttal:
In his 1919 book "The Economic Consequences Of The Peace," Keynes proposed writing off Germany's debt after World War I, as part of his opposition to the Treaty of Versailles. Keynes feared that onerous peace terms for Germany would crush its economy, and he suggested that Germany might end up being an even more freakishly desperate adversary as a result.
We'd say that perhaps a debate over the value of Keynesian policies is starting to flare up, but that ship has clearly already sailed.

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND—Glen Metropolit hasn't played an NHL game since 2010, but on Thursday, the oldest player on Canada's Spengler Cup roster showed why he's the captain of the Canadian squad.
After nearly scoring on his first shift of the game, the 39-year-old Metropolit — who's played for Lugano in the Swiss league the past two seasons — picked up a goal in the first period and assisted on Derek Walser's game winner in the third as Canada opened up the Spengler Cup with a 5-4 victory over the HC Vitkovice Steel of the Czech Republic.
"Even at his age, on the blue line and in the offensive zone, he's still one of the best players in the game in Switzerland, so that's where he's going to be really good for us," head coach Doug Shedden said. "He's played for me before and that's why I made him captain. This could be his last Spengler Cup and his children are here visiting from Florida.
"It's just something that gets him excited about playing."
Byron Ritchie, Micki DuPont, and Alexandre Bolduc also scored for Canada in a back-and-forth offensive game that saw leads slip away between both teams four times.
Rudolf Huna, Peter Huzeka, Roman Szturic and Lukas Kucsera scored for Vitkovice.
Vitkovice's Filip Sindelar was the busier of the two goaltenders, stopping 37 of 42 shots in the losing effort. Canada's Chris Mason made 18 saves.
"We were outshooting them all night," Shedden said. "We really carried the play against them."
Ritchie's goal tied the game at 4-4 at 7:58 of the third period, and Walser beat Sindelar off passes from Anthony Stewart and Metropolit at 13:47 to pull Canada ahead for good.
Bolduc opened the scoring with an unassisted goal at 2:30 of the first period, but Kucsera responded with a goal for the Czech club team less than two minutes later.
Canada took the lead again on Metropolit's goal, and Vitkovice replied to take a 2-2 tie into the first intermission.
The second period proved costly for Canada when a turnover gave Vitkovice a 4-3 lead 11 seconds after DuPont tied the game 3-3 on a power play.
Shedden said the mistake could be chalked up to unfamiliarity between his players, who've had just one practice and one morning skate together before their first game.
"The problem was we gave up some easy scoring chances off some miscues and that's going to happen with guys who haven't played together," Sheddan said.
Canada plays host HC Davos on Saturday.

With the price of gas creeping up again lately, I'm all about taking advantage of additional ways to save on my fuel purchases. 😉 You'll also want to think ahead to any possible upcoming gift giving occasions that you might have. Often times I'll purchase additional gift cards in advance, when King Soopers is having promotions such as this.

University of Helsinki 08.03.2016 til 09.03.2016
Tuija Veintie +358 2941 40509
The Nordic Centre of Excellence "Justice through Education in the Nordic Countries" under the Nordic research programme Education for Tomorrow, organizes a pre-conference before the 44th NERA congress "Social Justice, Equality and Solidarity in Education" taking place in Helsinki on 9-11 March 2016.
Issues related to diversity and education, dropping out of education, social exclusion and inclusion of young people, marginalization and belonging are focal questions in all of the Nordic countries as well as globally. Marginalization and exclusion from active participation and success in education are detrimental both for the individual and society at large. Schools, other educational institutions as well as various actors within and beyond these institutions have a significant role in the processes of exclusion and inclusion.

Today some two thousand (2,000) nascent women will lose their lives in the killing fields of the RWOW (Real War On Women). Suctioned, dismembered, burned with saline, having their spinal cords severed, you name it. They won't make the Six 0'clock News (or the News at Eleven). There won't be any body bags flown home from the war theater, no taps blown, no honor guard, no flags folded and handed to grieving survivors. There is no monument with names. No posthumous medals are awarded. In many cases a drab stained dumpster is their Arlington.
In the parallel universe that is the habitat of our national media, there is another, more pressing War on Women, one in which privileged coeds at elite universities are crushed by the necessity of purchasing their own birth control pills and devices. Hunted by a relentless and patriarchal right-wing syndicate, they lurk in shadowy hideouts strategizing how next to further the fight against those who would coldheartedly refuse to finance strangers' abortions. Some of these intrepid women have found the courage to speak at political conventions and fearlessly expose the brutality of those who would suppress their reproductive liberty by withholding the funding of it. Others stick to the more low-profile but essential daily grind of undermining churches and American traditions and expanding moral parameters.
The media know and understand their duty. It would be easy for the public to minimize the plight of the offended coeds and their constituents, and perhaps to give an inordinate amount of emotional sway to those dead babies. These warriors of the microphone and keyboard are vigilant to balance the picture by framing the individual struggles of the repro-militants, and to keep the terminated products of conception in the background. After all, who ever knew them? What contribution could they ever make now? Besides, the optics are bad. Very bad. Which is why the media are careful to protect the American public and the prospective abortion clientele by helping to smother each of the enemies' repeated attempts to foist such inflammatory requirements as mandatory sonograms onto a vulnerable public.
I know that 1.3 million dead babies a year sounds bad. So does fifty-four million since 1973, when the Supreme Court heroically wrested control of the issue. And 600,000 dead baby girls per year could be construed as some kind of real war on women. That would be very unsettling to the public. So you know why there has to be a potemkin war on women, created as a public service campaign to save the Republic from a potential nervous breakdown.

2009 Venture Capital Rewind
Per my introduction, one objective of this column is to provide analysis on the venture market and highlight growth segments. In order to assess where we are at and where we are going, it's important to know where we have been. This post serves as a rewind of the last year, via data points and statistics.
- 2009 was a down year for venture financings and M&A.
- A slight rebound was detected in the 4th Quarter of 2009
- Whiled guarded, financiers have greater optimism towards 2010.
The Bad News:
- Through the first three quarters of 2009, compared to the first three quarters of 2008, venture capital invested in Minnesota-based companies decreased from 422MM to 183MM. [PWC/NVCA MoneyTree Report]
- Nationally, 262 venture capital-backed companies were sold or went public in 2009 at a disclosed value of $12.55 billion, compared to 348 deals worth a disclosed value of $13.68 billion in 2008. [peHub, subscription required]
- Venture capital firms raised $15.2 billion in 2009, a 47% drop from 2008 and the slowest year for fundraising since 2003. [NVCA/Vator.tv]
- 83% of dealmakers surveyed say the current M&A environment is fair or poor. [ACG / Thomson Reuters Survey, subscription required]
The Good News:
- There was a 52% increase in IPOs of companies that were backed by venture capital or private equity firms, up from 22% in 2008. Most of that activity occurred during the 4th quarter (Q4) of 2009. [WSJ]
- In total, there were 13 VC-backed IPOs in 2009. That's more than twice the number that went public in 2008. 28 VC-backed companies are currently in IPO registration. [peHub, subscription required]
- 93% of dealmakers expect an increase in merger activity, with strategic investors making most of the acquisitions. Dealmakers expect the following sectors to experience the most merger activity in the first half of 2010:
§ Healthcare/life sciences
§ Technology
§ Consumer products and services
[ACG / Thomson Reuters Survey]
- In the 4th quarter, company valuations began trending up for the first time in 2009. [Fenwick & West LLP]
- Venture capitalists invested $4.85 billion in clean technologies last year. [Greentech Media]
- Solar power attracted the most money — $1.4 billion — followed by biofuels at $976 million. Companies in the water industry attracted $130 million. [peHub, subscription required]
A strong IPO market in 2010 should result in a rebound in venture investing. The challenging IPO market of the last two years has staved off a key means of exit for VC firms, requiring entrepreneurs to seek strategic buyers as the optimum vehicle to harvest their investment (example is Intuit's acquisition of Mint.com). As the IPO market blossoms, VCs will be able to flush through their pipeline of mature investments, providing fresh cash for future transactions.
As private company valuations slowly increase, more retiring baby boomers will sell their companies, creating an opportunity for middle market private equity investors.
Government stimulus money and agency programs will spur investment in clean tech and healthcare IT, creating opportunity for ambitious entrepreneurs in this space (see Minnesota's RedBrick Health and Vast Enterprises).
In Minnesota, keep an eye on the "Angel Investment Tax Credit" combined with the "Refundable R & D tax credit" as a catalyst for new fundings.
Mobile internet, hybdrid traditional/digital marketing techniques, hyperlocal services, API extensions, android platform and the Apple tablet will be the continued (mainstream) buzz into 2010. Meanwhile, seed stage startup programs and funds will see continued growth. As consumers/businesses adopt emerging tech en masse, mobile apps and social tools which enable commerce, the rapid exchange of data and foster new connections via face to face interactions (ie Yelp and foursquare) will pave the way.
Stay tuned for more Minnesota specific data analysis as it's known…

Goneril and Regan by Edwin Austin Abbey
|William Shakespeare
|King Lear
Goneril is a character in Shakespeare's tragic play King Lear (1605). She is the eldest of King Lear's three daughters. Along with her sister Regan, Goneril is considered a villain,[1] obsessed with power and overthrowing her elderly father as ruler of the kingdom of Britain. Her aggressiveness is a rare trait for a female character in Elizabethan literature.
Shakespeare based the character on Gonorilla, a personage described by Geoffrey of Monmouth in his pseudohistorical chronicle Historia regum Britanniae ("History of the Kings of Britain", c. 1138) as the eldest of the British king Lear's three daughters, alongside Regan and Cordeilla (the source for Cordelia), and the mother of Marganus.
The earliest example of her deceitful tendencies occurs in the first act. Without a male heir, Lear is prepared to divide his kingdom among his three daughters, as long as they express their true love to him. Knowing her response will get her closer to the throne, Goneril professes, "Sir, I love you more than words can wield the matter" (1.1. 53).[2] She has no reservations about lying to her father.
She finally begins to show her true colours when Lear asks to stay with her and her husband. She tells him to send away his knights and servants because they are too loud and too numerous. Livid that he is being disrespected, Lear curses her and leaves.
Goneril, the wife of the Duke of Albany (an archaic name for Scotland), has an intimate relationship with Edmund, one that may have been played up in the earlier editions of King Lear.[3] She writes a note encouraging Edmund to kill her husband and marry her, but it is discovered. In the final act, Goneril discovers that Regan desires Edmund as well and poisons her sister's drink, killing her. However, once Edmund is mortally wounded, Goneril goes offstage and kills herself.

Super duper tired today. Never known a person can be that tired. But I am not gonna bore you with the ache and groan here (that is for another blog related to the reason I am feeling so tired). Anyway, the weekend was a fruitful one.
We took half day off on Friday to settle a few things which need both of us to be there and sign. Will be extremely glad when we finally got this settled.
Saturday, babe and I woke up at 9am and had a lazy slow morning to get ready to go out for our 10am appointment at a nursery for our baby. After that, sent babe uniform to the laundrette for ironing and proceed to the gynea for my check up appointment. We also got the letter from the doctor for my company to state my EDD (estimated due date for those of you that do not know what the mean :P). After that, we finally went for our brunch ( more like lunch since it was 1.30pm by the time we had our food).
After that babe was planning to go to the aquarium in Shah Alam but changed our mind since it was starting to rain rather heavily. Instead, we decided to go back home. I slept from 4pm till 8pm!! haha! And babe I think he went to bed around 6pm till 9pm. And we had our dinner at 10pm! HAHA! Anyway, the main reason we took afternoon nap was because babe wanted to watch football match at 12.30am. So, I decided to accompany him. In order for me to be able to do that nowadays instead of dropping in exhaustion would be to make up for it by sleeping a few hours first.
But still, by 230pm, I am basically a zombie walking on stick....
Sunday, again, we woke up naturally around 9am eventhough we set the alarm at 10am because am meeting our friend, Tif for dim sum at Damansara Uptown. We arrived at the HK Dim Sum place at 11am and waited for a table till roughly 11.30am but it was worth it. The 2 boys (my hubby and her hubby) was being typical boys and complaint about having to wait for something that they have to pay for. But we gals stick together and got our own way (GRIN!). I am glad we did because the food was pretty good. (Sorry, too good til forgot to take any photos at all!! :P)
Then we went to 1U hoping to be 2pm ticket for Johny English but by the time we were there, only 3 seats left and we decided that it is not worth to strain our neck and pay for it! Instead, we took a leisure walk around the mall. Babe wanted to buy a soft lugage bag so that it is easier for him to bring with him on board the plane when we go back and he comes to visit us in the next few months in Kuching. The bag is pretty nice and cheap, RM49.90 and I think the quality is not too bad. Should be able to last pretty long.
I bought myself a nice dress and 2 huge pajamas pants at FOS. Bought three layer pork too at Jusco to cook dinner. I was actually hunting for Golden Churn butter spread but seems they totally remove the stock from the shelves. Too bad because its truly is one of the best butter in the market. But at least now we understand why the butter is so fragrant and yummy! HAHA!
We finally got home around 5pm and gave Ginger a bath but dinner was at 9pm lor! Now, watching Astro channel 551 on some lone ranger terorist attack....I am planning to sleep go to bed soon..cannot tahan la!!!! haha....

Crates Saddles For Sale
Below are Crates saddles for sale on eBay. You will find both new and used Crates saddles. Please scroll down for a brief history of the Crates Leather Company.
About The Crates Leather Company
The Crates Leather Company dates back to the mid-1930's when Robert H. Crates bought a harness, horse collar, and saddle shop In Chattanooga, TN. Initially he operated the business with a partner, but in the early 1950's Robert assumed full ownership of the company. Also in the 1950's sons Daniel and Robert C. joined the business, building at one time what was considered the largest company in the industry, producing in excess of one thousand saddles per week.
After the company was sold in 1980, Robert H, Daniel, and key employees of the former company established Crates Leather Company in 1981 in Chattanooga, TN, making it their mission to produce a limited number of high quality, up-scale western saddles.
Currently, Crates saddles are still hand-made, one at a time, in a forty thousand square foot plant in Chattanooga, TN. They concentrate on saddles and tack for team roping, steer wrestling, team penning, reining, working cowhorse, calf roping, and barrel racing but also offer many models in endurance, trail and pleasure riding.

- Blood Monitoring Unit
Blood Monitoring Unit BMU 40
An inline monitoring device for continuous measurement of vital blood parameters during extracorporeal circulation.
The Blood Monitoring Unit BMU 40 is an inline monitoring device for continuous measurement of vital blood parameters during extracorporeal circulation. The measuring values are oxygen partial pressure (paO2) and temperature (Ta) on the arterial side as well as oxygen saturation (SvO2), hemoglobin (Hb), hematocrit (HCT), and temperature (Tv) again on the venous side. The values are displayed on a 10.4" touch screen monitor, offering enough space for the clear arrangement of the measuring values and the important display and control elements.
With the BMU 40 from Maquet, a unique barcode calibration system replaces the time-consuming and costly calibration procedures using calibration gases. In order to minimize any measuring tolerances while the heart-lung machine is in use, the calibration data of the BMU 40 sensors and the BMU 40 cells are set by Maquet in the factory and encoded in a label that is read with an integrated barcode scanner directly before use. In conjunction with the latest sensor technology, this enables unrivalled measuring precision.
Innovative sensor technology ensures optimized blood flow properties for maximum measuring precision
Quick Calibration
Calibration in less than 5 seconds*, without the need for calibration gas
User-Friendly Operation
Touch screens featuring numeric, graphic and tabular displays for ease of use; user-chosen alarm limits can be set for all measured parameters
Uninterrupted Operation
An integrated battery pack ensures uninterrupted operation
BMU 40 sensors have minimal drift, providing accurate values throughout the procedure
Data Accessibility
The BMU 40 interfaces with data collecting software, such as JOCAP XL; data can be printed or downloaded via USB port
Stable Connection
Smart and stable probe cuvette connection

So, I needed to access a file which had been created on my old Mac laptop using a newer version of an open-source application (installed via Homebrew on the Mac) than was currently packaged in Debian stable.
To my mind, I had 3 obvious choices:
- Download from source, build by hand and use it
- Download the Debian source package, rebuild it on stable, install and use it
- Create a Debian unstable (Sid) chroot, install it there and use it
I decided to go with option 3, which has a number of advantages over the other 2:
- apt/the developers have already handled any dependencies (and version differences) needed by the new version
- I don't pollute my root filesystem with a version other than the one packaged and tested in stable (option 2)
- I don't have different versions of the same software installed on the path, in /usr and /usr/local (option 1)
- If this were more than a one-off I could use apt in the chroot to track and keep the software updated with the current version in Debian unstable
- I can install other software in the chroot, once it's setup, direct from the repository
Alternatives I didn't look would be installing unstable in a virtual machine or containers. I need this for a quick and dirty one-time task (install new version, convert file to old version, throw away chroot and use version installed with stable from now on) so either of these would be more effort for me than required (writing this blog post took longer than the actual task, below!).
To get this working, firstly we need debootstrap installed:
apt-get install debootstrap
Make a directory for the chroot:
mkdir /tmp/sid-chroot
Install Debian into the chroot:
debootstrap unstable /tmp/sid-chroot http://ftp.uk.debian.org/debian/
Change into the chroot:
chroot /tmp/sid-chroot
Update software:
apt-get update
Install and use new version of software within chroot.
This was a quick-and-dirty solution to a temporary problem (once opened and saved in the older format, I can use my file with the old version).
The Debian wiki recommends making these configuration changes to a chroot, which I've not bothered to do (as it was going to last all of 5 minutes):
- Create a /usr/sbin/policy-rc.d file IN THE CHROOT so that dpkg won't start daemons unless desired. This example prevents all daemons from being started in the chroot.
cat > ./usr/sbin/policy-rc.d <<EOF
exit 101
chmod a+x ./usr/sbin/policy-rc.d
- The ischroot command is buggy and does not detect that it is running in a chroot (685034). Several packages depend upon ischroot for determining correct behavior in a chroot and will operate incorrectly during upgrades if it is not fixed. The easiest way to fix it is to replace ischroot with the /bin/true command.
dpkg-divert --divert /usr/bin/ischroot.debianutils --rename /usr/bin/ischroot
ln -s /bin/true /usr/bin/ischroot
A more complete chroot solution would involve the use of schroot to manage it, which I've done before to get an old ruby-on-rails application working on newer versions of Debian.

It was the Style section story that turned mild-mannered, cheerful MSNBC host Chris Hayes into a bloodthirsty Che Guevara, and took our own Michael Brendan Dougherty along for the ride.
A wealthy Manhattanite couple feared that their 5-year-old child, Erela, was not receiving a sufficiently refined palate from her hired nanny, who, being "from Wisconsin, does not always know the difference between quinoa and couscous." So they hired a new service that trains nannies of the well-to-do in the shopping and food preparation that their employers would prefer. Organic? Locally sourced? Bringing styles in from South Asia and Portland alike? marc&mark will walk your nanny through the Whole Foods aisles and whip the less cultured into shape. In this instance, the mother "wanted her daughter to adopt a more refined and global palate, whether it's a gluten-free kale salad or falafel made from organic chickpeas."
In a certain corner of the Internet, near-Marxist rage and resentment at the TriBeCa couple and their perhaps even more distastefully disconnected profiler seethed forth. Yet Matt Yglesias of Slate swung into action with the seeming ultimate #SlatePitch: defending the system of hiring professional chefs to train the nannies you pay to take care of your children so you don't have to bother. Though he did fear the mob enough to hedge himself: "Like every sensible denizen of the Internet, I find myself appalled by Caroline Tell's article about how Dan Yashiv and Stephanie Johnson hired a consulting firm to instruct their nanny in how to cook fancier food."
Yglesias argued that "But beyond cringing, we really ought to think a bit about the future of work and the future of the economy." With a manufacturing sector that increasingly could be occupied by automated machines instead of unionized workers, and income inequality at peak levels that show no signs of peaking, chefs training nannies looks an awful lot like the future of the workforce:
[I]f you compare rich people in developed countries to middle class people in developed countries, the rich people don't consume vastly larger quantities of manufactured goods than the middle class people do. Instead the rich people consume more and fancier services [emphasis original].
Indeed, Yglesias sees a silver lining to the Times story, that the parents are actually investing in the skills of their workforce, giving their Wisconsin nanny a chance to command a higher wage once she moves on from their TriBeCa digs. We can't see that silver lining because we see personal service as essentially servile, and uncomfortably undemocratic.
Walter Russell Mead weighed in over the weekend, pointing out that "People Thought the Industrial Revolution Was Servile Too." Mead says, "At the beginning of the industrial age, both the left and sentimentalists denounced factory work as servile and destructive, compared to the honest independence of the family farmer," the same work being held up as today's good, honest labor from a time quickly slipping by. It is worth remembering that the original Luddites were artisans feeling threatened by dehumanizing machinery, and when Henry Ford introduced the modern assembly line, his long-time factory workers simply walked out at the prospect of such degrading and monotonous work. Matt Crawford's Shop Class as Soulcraft is essential reading for those interested in these issues.
Yglesias and Mead are right to dispel us of any overly sentimental attachments to assembly-line work. In fact, as the 20th century was marked by unparalleled human scientific, material, and medicinal progress, which we shouldn't dispute, it was also a century driven by an impoverished theory of work. Frederick Taylor's theories of "scientific management" pervaded, motivated by a vision of a few expert managers who could move human laborers around in the most optimal fashion, sucking as much intellectual work up the chain of command as possible and hollowing out the conception of the laborer to a machine that had to eat. Similar ideas infected more white-collar work as well, as the idea of a "manager" was invented and tasked with turning the product of human endeavors into spreadsheet results.
With all the disruption technologies have brought to our economy, we may have a chance to build the 21st century along more humane understandings of labor and productivity. If we do, it will be based on an a conception of people that accounts for human potentiality and organizes us to pursue common endeavors, not just play our part in the machine.
The service sector will very likely be a bigger part of our workforce going forward, but it shouldn't be one based on a Style piece. As Hayes noted, for an article ostensibly about nannies, there was one person's voice very conspicuously missing.

Off the clock we continue our passion for hosting small gatherings for friends and family. We love nature, food, drinks, and a good laugh.
We started this crazy journey back in 2014 as a short coffeeshop pop up. People loved the coffee, and the vibe so we continued hosting small run pop-ups. One day we came across a vintage camper for sale and thought "why not" rolled up their sleeves and demolished a 1972 Revella then built it from the ground up. This is the motto we follow for everything we create "Create from the ground up" we love to get crafty whether it is building a bar with our own hands or designing a new drink for a client, creativity is at the core. We bring our love of coffee, food, drinks, design, carpentry, and new ideas into everything we do. Citizen Caravan is the result of all this hard work and we hope it is evident in all we do.
Much Love,
Vernicia + Peter

The 68th Primetime Emmy Awards was surprisingly poignant Sunday night, as the winners were open and emotional during their speeches. Meanwhile, host Jimmy Kimmel kept up the energy for the evening, humoring the audience of Hollywood insiders as well as entertaining viewers at home.
The opening sketch followed the comedian as he attempted to get a ride to the Emmy's from various people, including late night's James Corden and the cast of ABC's "Modern Family". Kimmel finally got a ride from former presidential candidate Jeb Bush, who claimed to be working as an Uber driver. Bush also marked the beginning of the evening's political humor, which took shots at the election and Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump.
During the ceremony, Kimmel called out television producer Mark Burnett for making Trump a reality television star with "The Apprentice."
"Thanks to Mark Burnett we don't have to watch reality shows anymore," Kimmel said. "We're living in one."
When Burnett won as producer for "The Voice", Kimmel joked that the show's judges Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys would be the country's "next Supreme Court justices."
As the evening went on, Kimmel supplied the audience with peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, which were passed out by the child actors of Netflix's "Stranger Things" on bikes.
Kimmel also took over the stage when Dame Maggie Smith won best supporting actress in a drama for her role on "Downton Abbey." Kimmel had joked early in the evening about Smith having never attending the award show despite winning multiple times. He took the award statue and announced that they would not be mailing it to her and it would be in the lost and found if she wanted it.
The Emmy's band got in some hot water when cutting some speeches short, including playing in the middle of "The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story" producer Nina Jacobson's speech. "People v. O.J. Simpson" swept the awards for limited series, winning nine of its 22 nominations including outstanding limited series, outstanding writing, lead actor for Courtney B. Vance and lead actress for Sarah Paulson.
Jeffrey Tambor won for lead actor in a comedy for his role on "Transparent". Tambor discussed the controversial nature of his role as a transgender woman, saying he would like to see more roles for transgender actors.
"I just hope there are more opportunities for transgender talent," Tambor said. "I would very much like to be the last cisgender male playing a transgender female. I think we are there now."
Kate McKinnon won best supporting actress in a comedy for her work on "Saturday Night Live." She is the second female SNL cast member to win an Emmy for her work on the show after Gilda Radner in 1978.
Tatiana Maslany won a long-earned Emmy for lead actress in a drama for her role on BBC America's "Orphan Black". Maslany plays multiple roles on the show, having played up to 11 characters over four seasons.
Patton Oswalt gave a touching speech after winning the Emmy for outstanding writing for a comedy special for his special "Patton Oswalt: Talking for Clapping." He thanked his wife Michelle McNamara, who died suddenly last April.
"I want to share this with two people," Oswalt said as he accepted the award. "One of them is my daughter, Alice, waiting at home. The other one is waiting somewhere else — I hope."
Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus also gave an emotional speech, talking about her recently deceased father. Louis-Dreyfus made history after she became the first person to win an Emmy five consecutive times for her role as Selina Meyer on HBO's "Veep." The show also went on to win outstanding comedy.
HBO also won outstanding drama for "Game of Thrones." The show also won outstanding writing and outstanding directing for a drama for the episode "The Battle of the Bastards." "Game of Thrones" has now won more Emmy Awards than any other fictional show with 38 total awards.
While most of the wins were predictable, the night was dynamic, with a lively host, fun sketches and vibrant speeches that reminded viewers of the hard work that goes in to creating a television show. Overall, it was celebration of the shows we love.

Report from: Irma Zandl, president ZANDL GROUP
Key changes we're noting in their media involvement over the last five
1. More fragmentation rarer to find 3 or 4 big winners within a category
2. More alternative media, e.g. cable tv vs. network, the internet vs.
magazines, mp3s vs. buying cds
3. Girls are getting more hardcore e.g. rap and rock music, angeline jolie,
the fast and the furious, vin diesel.
Teen girls are involved with a full-range of media, from tv to music to the
internet to magazines. In fact, "entertainment", led by music, movies and
tv, is the usual topic of conversation of 26% of teen girls (up over 40% in
the last five years).
Friends continued to grow in popularity as it became more widely syndicated
making it the favorite show of 22% of teen girls (up slightly from last
year and up a phenomenal 630% from 1998). However, the show has now
clearly peaked.
Various mtv shows (e.g. trl, real world) are favorites of 9%, followed by
the simpsons (8%). Reality shows, with the exception of mtv's real world,
are seldom mentioned as "favorite tv show" possibly because they are
perceived to be more like "specials" than on-going shows.
Other notables: sponge bob square pants, a cult favorite from nickelodeon
with licensed goods available at hot topic.
Rap, rock and r&b are the most popular music genres among teen girls.
Rap/hip hop is holding steady at 29% with eminem and nelly the most
popular. Rock has been coming on strong, up over 40% in the last year.
Pop has taking a nosedive, down over 30%. Two smaller genres showing signs
of life: punk and country.
Teen girls buy their favorite movies so they can enjoy them whenever
they're in the mood to do so. They like both comedy and drama, but their
favorite movie last year was all action: the fast and the furious with vin
diesel (a small movie that offered something fresh both in subject matter
and stars). in general, movies with cool soundtracks have the inside
track, e.g. in 2001 the big movie of the year was save the last dance (a
small mtv movie).
On the actor/actress front, josh hartnett and vin diesel are the new
hotties but their popularity (at 8% and 4%) pales compared to leonardo
dicaprio's star rating five years ago when he was the favorite actor of
almost 30% of the girls. Julia roberts still dominates amongst actresses
but her star is fading with J. lo and angeline jolie nipping at her heels.
teen magazines have taken a huge hit over the last five years. While 53%
of teen girls mentioned at least one teen magazine as their favorite in
2002, 98% did so five years ago, a 46% decline. The teen girl magazine
shakeout has to be just around the corner, especially as girls make the
internet a more integral part of their lives.
76% of teen girls have a favorite web site and one quarter bought something
online in the last year. Popular web sites include yahoo, hotmail,
opendiary, abercrombie & fitch, alloy, blackplanet, lyrics, and the spark.
using the web is an every day activity and is the preferred way to check
out everything from what's on tv to concert listings to the latest sales at
the gap.

Milk Jam or Confiture de Lait is a French caramel sauce similar to dulce de leche. Its basic ingredients are milk and sugar with the options of adding baking soda (which I learned is not only a leavening agent, but also often used for browning) and can come in a myriad of flavours from the addition of vanilla beans, lemon, lavender, fragrant teas, and spices such as cardamom.
The consistency of the milk jam will vary greatly depending on how long you reduce it. While some recipes say to cook it for 30 minutes, I've found I've needed at least over 1 hour for it to get anywhere near being thick enough to spread like a jam. However, different stoves and pans will generate different results and cooking time.
The first batch was made using whipping cream, 1% milk, 1/3 cup of steeped Earl Grey tea with no baking soda. Despite having cooked it for 1 hour, it only reduced to the consistency of thick condensed milk and a pale shade the colour of milk tea. While this version was good on bread and especially nice when mixed in teas, coffees and drizzled all over ice-cream and fruits, it wasn't at the spreadable consistency I wanted for it to be called a jam.
So, I tried again!
The second batch uses whipping cream, 2% milk, 1/4 teaspoon of vanilla extract, 1/3 cup of steeped Buttered Rum tea, and 1/4 tsp of baking soda. The result was a deeper coloured caramel that was soft, but firm. If like me and you seem to always end up tasting baking soda in everything you make when you use it, don't worry, the sauce will smell like baking soda while its reducing and bubbling – and you'll freak out a bit – but the end product will be devoid of that bitterness with only perhaps just a hit of salt.
Some recipes instructed to stir often. I only stirred when I noticed the sauce seperating and solidifying at the top…I guess I'm pretty lazy.
Basic Milk Jam
Adapted from Tartelette Blog, B for Bonnie, and Adventures in Japan
1 cup Cream
1 1/4 cups of milk
1/2 cup of Sugar (I did a mix of white and brown sugar)
1/3 cup of Tea, steeped for 5 minutes or so
1/4 tsp of Vanilla Extact
1/4 tsp of Baking soda
Cook the cream, milk, sugar (and baking soda) in a heavy bottom saucepan and bring to a boil over high heat. When the mixture is boiling, turn the heat down to medium-low and simmer until it changes colour and thickness. Stir periodically until it reaches the consistency of 'jam' or to your preference! It can take between 30 minutes to over an 1 hour. You can eat and use right away or bottle it up and let it rest overnight in the fridge where it will firm up and lighten up in colour a bit.
If you want to add tea for flavouring, wait for the mixture to thicken a bit halfway through cooking and stir it in.

Katharine Lee Bates Biography Poet, Scholar (1859–1929)AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL by Ray Charles
That same year, Bates spent part of the summer in Colorado. She was there lecturing at Colorado College. During her visit, she went on a hike to Pikes Peak. The view from this mountaintop inspired her most famous poem. "It was then and there, as I was looking out over the sea-like expanse of fertile country spreading away so far under those ample skies, that the opening lines of the hymn floated into my mind," she later said, according to the Library of Congress web page on "America the Beautiful."I wonder what she would write if she had lived to this day.
