I absolutely love diving into a cold crisp salad on warm days. The balance of sweet and crunch is just perfect.
This morning I threw together a bunch of fruit and was in heaven. So refreshing.
You can use any variety of fruits.
- Today I used grapes, honeydew melon, a granny smith apple & watermelon. I was going to add banana but I had already enjoyed my green smoothie and I try to limit my banana intake to 1 per day.
- Wash and chop up all your fruit and add to a large bowl.
- Pour on 2 tbls of honey. ( I gently warmed mine for easy pouring)
- Chop up some mint and mix it all together… viola! A refreshing summer fruit salad.
What's your favorite summer refresher?

Bengaluru, Aug 29: The Britain-born diva, Paige is one of the most technical wrestlers present in the WWE Women's division. She started from the WWE's developmental territory, Florida Championship Wrestling (FCW) Later FCW became the NXT brand and Paige would go on to the brand to hold the inaugural NXT Women's championship.
After holding the championship for a long time she proceeded to debut into the main roster of WWE in 2014 and become the WWE Divas champion.
On her very first night, she toppled the then champion, AJ Lee and thereby becoming the youngest Divas champion in the history of the company at an age of just 21. She is also the only one to hold the NXT Women's championship and the WWE Divas championship at the same time.
In the same year, she would go on to carry the Divas division alongside AJ Lee becoming a two-time Divas champion. She even was an integral part of the Divas revolution in WWE, last year, too.
But, then all of a sudden she vanished from the main event picture once Charlotte, Sasha Banks, Becky Lynch came up to the main roster. She was a victim of a bad booking and had a horrible 2016, till date.
As per the previous reports, Paige is suffering from a legitimate concussion in her back portion that made her sidelined from in-ring competition. After that, WWE suspended her along with her boyfriend, Alberto Del Rio for 30 days for the company's Wellness Policy Violation.
A recent report from Wrestling Observer Newsletter suggests that her neck issue is similar to what a lot of wrestlers (nerve damage similar to Daniel Bryan) have had.
It is the same serious concussion that caused careers of Daniel Bryan, Edge, Stone Cold Steve Austin due to weakness in the right arm and thereby leading to forceful retirement.
So, the speculation is that Paige too may end up getting permanently hanging up her boots due to the injury. It's worthy to mention that Paige's mother has addressed on Twitter that she is healing from the injury. Hopefully, the Diva who has plenty more left to offer to the WWE and her fans can make a return defeating all the odds.

This is according to Robert Gilmour, MD of RSAWeb, who will speak at the ITWeb Enterprise Mobility conference on 21 and 22 April at Vodaworld, Midrand. The event focuses on the financial, security, and IT implications of implementing an enterprise mobility strategy.
Gilmour says times are changing, and remote personnel now have enough connectivity to work effectively. However, he states that the IT systems required to work effectively outside the office are not yet in place in most enterprises.
"The South African corporate mindset has to change in order to promote mobile working. Many corporates have a very conservative IT approach and do not permit data to leave the confines of the firewall." He says this needs to change along with HR policies in order to enable more remote working.
According to Gilmour, the uptake of enterprise mobility in the developed world is setting a trend towards mobility, to increase efficiency and reduce costs associated with operating an office environment.
"Many of the existing solutions are bespoke from a corporate perspective, and are often extensions of an in-house CRM or enterprise management system," notes Gilmour.
"There are a number of software-as-a-service applications built specifically to address the enterprise mobility need. Many of these seek to address the problem of collaboration, remote project management, or CRM," he says.
"They often fill in the gaps created by not being in the office and keep the whole team informed while away, often including mobile, iPhone and Web-specific applications, enabling their use on multiple platforms."
"Certain costs can be reduced if employees are allowed to work from home or remotely, and efficiency can be increased when the correct processes and systems are implemented properly."
Gilmour concludes that it is difficult to achieve an effective mobility programme in any enterprise, as it requires the correct IT systems to be in place. The recession has put a strain on budgets, which affects the budget for IT systems, ultimately hindering its adoption.

Manufacture Specially designed for the reconstruction and enlargement of Barcelona's Gran Teatro del Liceo, this handcrafted hanging lamp of metal mesh is a handsome flower of fire, dramatically lighting large spaces.
Ignasi de Sola-Morales shared direction of the rebuilding and enlargement of the Gran Teatro del Liceo (1994-1999) and design of its furnishings with architects Llu?s Dilm?, Xavier Fabre and Eulalia Serra. The prevailing criterion: all things new used a modern design language which acknowledged the place and context of their installation. True to the aim of the project, the Liceo lamp is a large central light with a totally innovative spirit. Liceo lamps have been installed in the main lobby, the access from Sant Pau Street and the ticket office at the entrance to the theatre. Brass wire rings make up the frame of the irregular sphere, which is swathed in bronze wire used by airplane manufacturers. At the lower end of the uneven sphere is the vertical socket that conceals the source of the light that illuminates the inside of the lamp. The twisted, folded mesh creates a theatrical effect. The lamp is hung from the ceiling by steel cables. The electric cord runs between them to the ceiling rosette. It is a hanging lamp that is ideal for high-ceilinged spaces. The round glass globes which were the most popular lamps in the 1920s symbolized the sun because of their shape and light. Because of its broken uneven surface and the reddish hills of its soft mesh fabric which shines with a light of its own, the Liceo lamp could well be compared to a red giant.
Dimensions Height 76cm, Diameter 70cm.
Lamp Type Halogen PAR56 Max 300W

2013 Canadian Folk Festivals Database
*Please note, this resource has NOT been updated with 2014 festival application information.*
The 2013 Canadian Folk Festivals database is here!!
My good friend Dave Cool and I originally compiled this database of Canadian Folk Festivals in January 2011 and it seems wrong to not continue it. Since then, we have received a ton of feedback from the folk community with suggestions that could be added to the list. Thanks to Roots Music Canada for sharing their database as well as the many members of the folk/roots music community who chimed in with great suggestions. Please feel free to download the Excel version and add your own personal notes, additional festivals or update the database for yourself as new information becomes available throughout the year.
It includes a listing of folk festivals in Canada along with their contact information, deadlines and application guidelines. It is a powerful resource for any folk/roots artist inside our outside of Canada. The 2013 version is even more detailed than before!
You can download the database for FREE in the original Excel format or as a PDF file. Click on the format of your choice below.
You may also PWYC (Pay What You Choose). This database takes many hours to research and update each year. Any amount you contribute will be greatly appreciated.
Note: The Excel file will download immediately. The PDF will open in your browser then you may press "save". The text in the PDF will look realllyyy tiny – just press "zoom"!
Thanks also to Dan Murray who helped with researching this year. Happy 2013!
P.S. By all means, please share this on Facebook, Twitter, etc- using the sharing links below!
P.P.S. Any festivals that need updating or wish to be added may email festivals at emmajulien dot com. I probably won't update it again very soon, but accurate info would be appreciated for inclusion in future versions. Thank you.

When I started looking at the history of gun control I found that it was tied to so many other parts of our lives. There is a connection between gun control in the city and Black America, Irish, and Italian immigration. Lynching is the horrific practice of vigilante executions. The largest group ever hung at one time were Italian immigrants in New Orleans. In this episode I share that along with the rise of the Mafia, he origin of the National Firearms Act, Prohibition, the Great Depression and I have a conversation with Tony Simon and his efforts to bring the Second Amendment to more people in NJ.

Acid violence defies any bounds of comprehension. It is a violation born and nurtured in hell itself, a pitiless, hideous evil. It takes away both skin and flesh and the very soul of the victim. And it does so with finality that is often absolute.
Kamilat Mehdi, 21, had a bright future ahead of her. She dreamt about doing a degree and becoming an air hostess.
For the better part of a decade, Monira Rahman has fought to provide treatment, counseling and rehabilitation to the victims of brutal acid attacks in Bangladesh. Amnesty International Germany honored Rahman with its annual human rights prize.

After you have studied this chapter, you should be able to:
Calculate prime cost and production cost of goods manufactured
Draw up a manufacturing account and income statement
Adjust the manufacturing account in respect of work-in-progress
Manufacturing businesses prepare a manufacturing account, in addition to the income statement, that is for internal use only.
Instead of a figure for purchases, the trading account will contain the cost of manufacturing the goods that were manufactured during the period.
The manufacturing account is used to calculate and show the cost of manufacturing those goods – the production cost.
In a manufacturing business, costs are divided into two types:
It is the prime and production cost items that feature in the manufacturing account.
Any direct costs can be traced to an item being manufactured.
The sum of the direct costs is the prime cost.
If a cost cannot be directly traced to the manufactured product, it is considered an indirect cost.
Indirect costs are considered factory overheads
The prime cost plus indirect costs is the production cost.
There are other cost classifications in manufacturing accounts.
Administration expenses are any managerial or office related expenses.
Selling and distribution expenses are any sales, marketing or advertising expenses.
Financial charges are any bank related charges and the cost of discounts allowed.
The manufacturing account contains all direct and indirect costs.
The trading account follows the usual format with the inclusion of the production cost of goods completed.
The profit and loss account contains all administration expenses, selling and distribution expenses and financial charges.
The production cost carried down to the trading account is that of the production cost of goods completed during the period.
If any items have not been completed, they cannot be sold and so should not appear in the trading account.
Therefore a calculation is needed to decide on the transfer to the trading account:
Sometimes expenses will have to be split between indirect manufacturing costs and one of the profit and loss account expenses such as administration or selling expenses.
In this situation, a method of apportionment must be used to split the expense.
An example could be rent, which would be apportioned using floor area.
You should have now learnt:
Why manufacturing accounts are used
How to prepare a manufacturing account and income statement
That the trading account section of the income statement is used for calculating the gross profit made by selling the goods manufactured
That the profit and loss account section of the income statement shows as net profit what is left of gross profit after all administration, selling and distribution and finance costs incurred have been deducted
That work-in-progress, both at the start and the close of a period, must be adjusted so as to identify the production costs of goods completed in the period

CARROLL COUNTY, Ga. — Two sisters were taken to the hospital and one later died, Friday, after being pulled from the Chattahoochee River in Carroll County.
According to Tim Padgett of Carroll County Emergency Management Agency, the recovery happened at McIntosh Reserve Park. The sisters, ages 14 and 6, were visiting from their home in Newnan, camping with their family at the park. The park is located along the Chattahoochee River in Whitesburg, Ga.
They had been riding a floating tube down the river when they fell off and lost control.
Witnesses said they saw the two girls floating face-down far from the bank. People who were there said the 14-year-old, later identified by the Carroll County Sheriff's Office as Alyssa Calhoun, tried to grab on to the 6-year-old's hand to save her.
A nearby camper jumped in to rescue the 6-year-old. A woman further down the river pulled the teen out, but it was too late.
Officials with the Carroll County Sheriff's Office confirmed that the 14-year-old has since died and the 6-year-old is in the intensive care unit at Egleston.
Park rangers and deputies, along with other campers, pulled the sisters from the river and performed CPR on them.
The younger girl was airlifted to Children's Healthcare of Atlanta at Egleston, where she remains in the Intensive Care Unit. The other was taken to Atlanta Medical Center.
On Saturday, the teen's school, Newnan High, took to Twitter to ask people to "keep the family of Alyssa Calhoun in your thoughts and prayers during this difficult tragedy."
The school says it will have counselors will be available to students during class hours on Monday.

Thank you, Junie B. Jones, for making reading fun again
He came home that day proudly toting his first selection - "Junie B. Jones, First-Grader: Jingle Bells, Batman Smells."
It was an "ugh" based solely on reputation. The Junie B. Jones books weren't around when I was a kid, but I was well aware of the current-day literary holy wars the series sparks. Junie - er, make that Junie B., because everyone forgets her B. - is a mouthy brat with atrocious grammar. She's a trouble-maker with a bad attitude.
But she's also rip-roaringly funny. And she's inspired Big Guy to again be interested in reading for fun.
It hasn't been that way for the past year, as he's worked through the mechanics of figuring out how this "words on a page" thing works. He's waded through boring books with uninspiring, if any, plots. The books he's been interested in reading, meanwhile, have been nonfiction pieces about the military, sharks or snakes. Problem was, he couldn't quite master those on his own.
Then along came Junie B. and the precious hot-pink dots at the library.
He giggles at her antics. He tisks-tisks at her trouble-making. He can't wait to tackle new chapters each night.
He and I read them together, side by side on the couch like we've done since he was a baby except now we take turns on alternating pages. He can read them independently if he wants to - and he sometimes does in order to provide entertainment as I'm cooking dinner - but the joint ventures are fun for both of us.
It's nice that reading is fun again.
Does Junie B's brattiness bother me? Not in the least, because Big Guy recognizes it for what it is. "Aw, she's going to be in trouble for that," he'll say.
Am I appalled by her atrocious grammar? No, because Big Guy knows better. Sometimes, he'll correct it as he reads, not even noticing that he's read the wrong word which is really the right word. It would be too much of a headache to stop and explain all of that, so I just let him continue.
If you overlook the grammar - really, Vanna, can you sell that kid an -ly? - the books are well-written. The language is colorful - Big Guy learned the concept last night of having a "squeezy" stomach - and the sentence lengths are varied. Big Guy and I both can relate to the stories, he as the perpetrator, me as the eye-rolling mom.
You want a good old-fashioned yarn? Junie B provides it by the skein.
And I'm so thrilled, because that's what's been missing from our repertoire for the past year.

The Sunken Airlines aircraft would be a groundbreaking new piece of technology, its unnatural capabilities would make an outstanding vehicle for various commercial purposes. Firstly, its ability to operate under water as well as in the air would make for more efficient travel, opening up new routes to certain destinations. Secondly, Sunken Airlines would be an extremely fast alternative to commercial jets and/or boats used now a days. Thirdly, this aircraft would offer a new way for goods to exported and exported from different regions. And lastly, the S.A aircraft would serve as a great addition to the United States military for combat. As stated before, the Sunken Airline's ability to enter the water as well as the air would allow the ability avoiding or tricking the enemy with its different maneuvers.
One example we found where the Sunken Airlines aircraft could be used efficiently is in the U.S Coast Guard. The Coast Guard uses helicopters or even human divers to retrieve stranded or injured victims in the water. We feel that with our aircraft, we could make these extractions much more efficient and safe. Due to the fact that the Sunken Airlines has the ability to act from water and air, the plane could simply spot the objective/s from the air, and then move in and make a safe extraction from the water. This process would then make it much easier and safer for the divers to retrieve the victims. Therefore, if the Sunken Airlines was put into effect, we would reduce the risk of these rescues as well as the the annual loss of Coast Guard divers/rescuers.
The Sailfish is the fastest animal in the sea. They have been recorded to swim 100 meters in 4.8 seconds. They are able to do this with their large dorsal fin which acts much like a "sail", flaring out with each movement.
When researching on some of the fastest birds in the world, we faced the difficulty of finding a birds wing that was compact enough yet not too small to be retracting when it entered the water. And we also need a wing design that still carried the trait of great speed. Therefore, the peregrine falcon's compact, yet speedy, wing design offered the best choice for our aircraft.
The Flying Fish has the incredible ability to outstretch extra body tissue to form wings which give the fish lift for a few moments in the air. We decided to take this design so that the Sunken Airlines could gain momentum before fully returning into the air from the water.

F.P. Journe Souverain Tourbillon "Ruthenium" Limited Edition of Only 99 Pieces, Tourbillon "Invenit et Fecit" with D'egalite Constant Force Remontoir and Dead Seconds - This watch features a stunning Ruthenium-plated Brass Movement and solid Ruthenium-plated 18kt Gold Dial. This watch is encased in the larger 40mm Platinum case and has a black crocodiel strap with classic buckle. Tourbillon Souverain - Remontoir d'Egalité The Tourbillon. Invented by Breguet over 200 years ago, the tourbillon is a rotating cage that houses the escapement and oscillating balance. At that time, pocket watches were generally to be found in a vertical position in a gentlemen's fob pocket. In that vertical plane, however, the watch could be orientated: crown up, crown down, crown left or crown right, and in each of those positions gravity pulled on the balance and escapement from a different angle, causing the watch to slightly speed up or slow down. This made it difficult to regulate the watch to keep accurate time: especially in those days of split, bi-metallic balances and steel hairsprings. The tourbillon: note the cock (one-arm bridge). By putting the escapement (balance, hairspring, pallet and escape wheel) in a rotating cage, the positionally induced errors (in the same plane as the tourbillon) are averaged out, thus making the watch a better timekeeper. Ideally, there would be no positional errors and so no need for a tourbillon to average them out. While manufacturing techniques and material technology have come a long way in reducing those errors since Breguet's day, positional errors do still exist. The tourbillon first made an appearance in a wristwatch over 50 years ago when Andre Bornand made a one-off for Patek Philippe in 1945 . A few years later Lip put a tourbillon in a wristwatch, then Omega made twelve wristwatch tourbillons; however, it was Audemars Piguet in 1985 who gave the world the first serially produced wristwatch tourbillon. This was also the first automatic tourbillon and the smallest and thinnest tourbillon ever produced - and as far as Iknow, it still is. If we are becoming blasé today regarding tourbillons, we should remember their very recent history in production wristwatches: even today it is rare to see a tourbillon wristwatch with additional complications - and they do not come much rarer than . . . The Remontoir d'Egalité. For a watch or clock to tell the time accurately, we need two important mechanisms: one to provide power to run the movement and hands, and a second (the escapement) to distribute that the power in very precisely measured intervals. With a tower or tall pendulum clock, weights were pulled up and provided power to run the movement. The constant period of the pendulum regulated the escapement, which released power at precise intervals. Because the weight does not change on its downward path, the flow of power to the escapement and movement was very smooth - well it would have been if the inefficiencies in the drive train caused by poorly shaped tooth profiles in the gears, sloppy tolerances between parts and even the effect of strong wind on the hands of tower clocks did not all play a detrimental role - and they all did. The remontoire was designed to combat these problems. This clever complication was invented by Jobst Bürgi in the 15C to smooth out fluctuations in the power transmission to the escapement due to inefficiencies in the gear train. As gear tooth profiles became more refined and gears and parts were made to tighter tolerances, this became less of an issue; however, in the 19C, the remontoire made a comeback; it was used in tower clocks to counter the effects of strong wind on the large exterior hands from finding its way to the gear train and escapement. The Dead-Beat Seconds. At the end of the 17C, clocks were becoming increasingly accurate, so watchmakers took advantage of this to add a second hand. Many of these clocks were equipped with a Huygen pendulum which had a natural period of one second due to a one meter long pendulum. This had the effect of the second hand advancing, then stopping dead for one second before advancing again – much like the second hand on a quartz watch today. Second hands on mechanical watches by contrast, generally move in fractions of a second. When the first watches were made with second hands, watchmakers attempted to create that same stop/start second effect. A few different approaches were tried, however, most of these had either a detrimental effect on timekeeping or the added complexity did more harm than good to a stable rate. In the Tourbillon Souverain, Journe has very cleverly mounted a natural dead-beat seconds system off the release mechanism of the remontoir d'égalité. This method means that the dead second system has no adverse effect on the precision of the watch and allows the wearer to see the seconds tick off one by one.

Smith impressed by Kyle
Walter Smith has hinted Kyle Lafferty could start Rangers' UEFA Champions League qualifier against Kaunas.
Last Updated: 27/07/08 5:14pm
Walter Smith has hinted Kyle Lafferty could start Rangers' UEFA Champions League qualifier against Kaunas.
Lafferty impressed in a wide left position during Saturday's 2-1 win over Raith Rovers and he could be handed his European debut in midweek.
Smith has admitted Northern Ireland international Lafferty may have played his way into his side for the clash with Kaunas.
Promise"Kyle has a chance of playing on Wednesday," said Smith. "He has had an awkward build-up so far after getting a week's training then hurting his back.
"When we were in Holland and Germany for training, he didn't do any training at all but he is up and running again now.
"He showed a little bit of promise on Saturday and we are hopeful that will stand him in good stead."
Rangers will go into the game with Kaunas without key defender Carlos Cuellar after he was forced to limp off against Raith.
Lafferty admits it is a big blow to lose the big Spaniard for the crucial qualifier.
"Carlos is so important for us but there's enough talent ready to stand in for him and I'm sure whoever's picked will do a job," said Lafferty.
"It's a big game and we have to be ready."

Colombo intensifies spread of Buddhism in North
Buses carrying around two thousand Buddhist priests under heavy escort carrying a sacred statue of Buddha on a pilgrimage to Jaffna had passed Vavuniyaa Monday and entered Vanni main land through A9 road, sources in Vavuniyaa said. The buses, however, have not reached Jaffna until Tuesday evening and it is assumed that the Buddhist priests, on an urgent mission to spread Buddhism in the North, are engaged in some unannounced opening ceremonies of newly erected Buddhist Viharas in Vanni by the occupying Sri Lanka Army (SLA) directed by Colombo government, sources in Jaffna said.
It is not yet known what the Buddhist priests are to do in Jaffna but it is generally believed that they will engage in opening a new Buddhist Vihara somewhere in the peninsula to observe 'Poson' festival Friday which celebrates the introduction of Buddhism in the island, the sources added.
Meanwhile, Northern Province Governor, Major Gen. G. A. Chandrasiri had directed government heads in the North to make arrangements to cater to the needs of the priests passing through.
Accordingly, some of the schools along this route have been hastily prepared to accommodate the pilgrims.
The Governor had also directed the heads of government to widen and renovate all the main roads that lead to Buddhist religious sites in the peninsula.
Meanwhile, an academic from Jaffna commenting said that the aim of this feverish engagement in spreading Buddhism in the North by Colombo includes the construction of Sinhala-Buddhist stupas in the heart of the Tamil homeland paving way for islands of Sinhala-Buddhist colonies protected by military.
This will go hand in hand with the 'development' projects aiming to open the conquered territory to the conquerors and eventually the change of demography so that Tamils can never fight for their national rights in the island, he pointed out.
Temporally and spiritually it is a heritage genocide: to make Eezham Tamils feel that their homeland doesn't belong to them, they are historically inferior 'intruders', they have no claims for their nationalism and as long as they exist as Tamils they cannot be equals, he added.
Meanwhile, the extreme Sinhala nationalist Jathika Hella Urumaya (JHU) Saturday had to elect a new leader as Ven. Ellawala Medhananda Thera had resigned from the post as he needed more time to devote on his pet subjects of archaeological research in Mullaiththeevu in Vanni, JHU sources said.

I met a traveller from an antique land…
…a post in which I describe the way in which Kerry Greenwood's novel sent me hurtling back in time to the world's first great civilization. Out of the Black Land was a great read, for sure, but it was more than that. As a recreation of an almost impossibly remote time, it succeeded magnificently – at least it did for this reader.
The story is told from the alternating point of view of two main characters. First, we meet a young girl named Mutnodjme. This is how she introduces herself:
In the name of Ptah, in the name of his consort Mut after whom I was called and his son Khons, who is the moon and time, in the hope that my heart will weigh heavily against the feather and I may live and die in Maat which is truth, I declare that my name is Mutnodjme and my sister is the most beautiful woman in the world.
This bravura performance in prose serves as the opening paragraph of the novel. I was drawn in at once. And who is this peerless sister? She is Nefertiti, the soon to be Great Royal Wife of Pharoah Akhnamen. Names are fluid attributes in this strange and exotic world. Akhnamen's own will soon be changed,, by his own inflexible will because of an equally inflexible obsession.
This is this same man who plucks the youth Ptah-hotep from the school for scribes where he is a student and bids him serve at the royal palace. It's a great honor, but it also means separation from his fellow student, the dearly beloved Kheperren.
As the author takes us step by step through the tumultuous world of Egypt's eighteenth dynasty, we follow in particular the lives of Mutnodjme and Ptah-hotep as they grow into adulthood in this strange and fabulous land. It makes for a riveting story.
Out of the Black Land awakened in me a deep fascination with ancient Egypt. I should say, reawakened, because this is an interest I felt as a child, especially after I was given this curious little gift, or one very much like it:
I am now reading a book about the rise and fall of ancient Egypt. Written by Toby Wilkinson, it's unsurprising title is The Rise and Fall of Ancient Egypt. It resides on my Kindle app, and I read a section or two each day, taking in the vast information in minute doses, the better to retain it. Inevitably, some sections are more challenging than others, but for the most part the book is highly readable. And now that I've reached the Eighteenth Dynasty I am filled with anticipation, for soon I'll be reading about Akhnaten (aka Amenhotep IV), that strong willed iconoclast who was powerful in some ways, impotent in others. I'm eager to see the extent to which Toby Wilkinson's description of him tallies with Kerry Greenwood's portrayal.
The Middle Kingdom was the golden age of literature, when many of the great classics were composed. From the heroic Tale of Sinuhe to the rollicking yarn of The Shipwrecked Sailor, from the overtly propagandist Prophecies of Neferti to the subtle rhetoric of The Eloquent Peasant, and from the metaphysical Dispute Between a Man and His Soul to the burlesque Satire of the Trades, the literary output of the Middle Kingdom reveals ancient Egyptian society at its most complex and sophisticated.
This is how Toby Wilkinson introduces Part II of his book, entitled "End of Innocence (2175-1541 BC)." Kerry Greenwood references Satire of Trades in Out of the Black Land. That was the first I'd heard of it. The other above mentioned works were completely unknown to me, and I wondered why. In his introduction to Ancient Egyptian Literature, John L. Foster explains that we have been taught to revere our Greek and Hebraic heritage, particularly the latter, identified as it is with religious observance. These languages have been the lens through which we have seen the culture of the ancient world.
On the other hand:
Egyptian hieroglyphic is a dead language. Its meaning only began to be recovered when Champollion deciphered the hieroglyphs in 1822. And it was not until the last quarter of the nineteenth century that a tradition of translating the hieroglyphs into English could even begin to develop. Translation of ancient Egyptian literature is barely a century old, only four or five generations of Egyptologists have had a chance to work on the language, and most of the effort has of necessity been devoted to basics — vocabulary, word order, and sentence patterns. These efforts of earlier language scholars have been absolutely fundamental to, and necessarily preceded, any attempt to recover ancient Egyptian literature as literature and as poetry. Our cultural traditions, along with loss of the key to the hieroglyphic language for so many centuries, have blinded us to the value of what has survived from the literature of ancient Egypt. It has riches thus far largely unrealized.
Foster's preface is well worth reading. In it, he enlarges on the challenges of translating hieroglyphic writing, especially into poetic form. Immediately preceding the preface, and after the dedication, he places this verse excerpt from The Harper's Song from the Tomb of King Intef:
I have heard the words of Imhotep, and Hordjedef, too,
retold time and again in their narrations.
Where are their dwellings now?
Their walls are down,
Their places gone,
like something that has never been.
Here's what the original looks like:
The first poems following the preface are love poems. Of these, Foster states succinctly: "Love has hardly altered at all over the millennia."
Judge for yourself:
Why, just now, must you question your heart?
Is it really the time for discussion?
To her, say I,
take her tight in your arms! For god's sake, sweet man,
it's me coming at you,
My tunic
loose at the shoulder!
There are more like this. They took my breath away.
There's plenty of love in Out of the Black Land; all kinds of love. After reading some the poetry in Foster's anthology, I could not help but feel that in this novel, Kerry Greenwood got it right.
Composer Douglas Irvine has attempted to recreate the sound of the music of ancient Egypt:
Here is the "Hymn to Aten," from Phillip Glass's opera Akhnaten:
There are two online sites concerning Ancient Egypt that I especially like: The Ancient Egypt and Archaeology Web Site and The Ancient Egypt Site, curated by Belgian Egyptologist Jacques Kinnaer.
In her lively Afterword, Kerry Greenwood reflects with considerable asperity on the widely varying viewpoints of scholars in the field of Egyptology. She has also appended to her novel a highly useful bibliography.
The title of this post is taken from the first line of "Ozymandias" by Percy Bysshe Shelley.
Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad reads Ozymandias:
The pleasures of Archaeology
I don't normally buy this magazine, even though like most people, I am fascinated by archaeological expeditions and discoveries. I bought this particular issue because of the photograph of the Tollund Man on the cover.
Many years ago, when I was teaching high school English, I used a text book that contained an excerpt from The Bog People: Iron-Age Man Preserved, by Danish archaeologist P.V. Glob. At the time, I was faced with the usual cohort of bored, antsy teenagers, and I don't recall getting mush of a response from them when we discussed this piece. But I have never forgotten the effect it had on me.
The English translation of The Bog People appeared in this country in 1969.
Gods, Graves, and Scholars, another landmark volume on archaeology by C.W. Ceram, was written in 1949. It was translated from the German and published here in 1951, A revised edition appeared in 1967. That was already some years after my mother had first urged me to read it.
It is the second revised edition, dated 1979, that sits before me on my desk at this moment. Ceram states in his foreward to the first American edition: 'My book was written without scholarly pretensions. My aim was to portray the dramatic qualities of archaeology, its human side." He goes on to describe the fruits of his research:
'Archaeology, I found, comprehended all manner of excitement and achievement. Adventure is coupled with bookish toil. Romantic excursions go hand in hand with scholarly self-discipline and moderation. Explanations among the ruins of the remote past have carried curious men all over the face of the earth.
Two stories made a lasting impression. The first was that of Heinrich Schliemann and the search for Troy. This particularanecdote has stayed with me:
'Incredible as it may seem, this actually happened: the rich and eccentric foreigner one evening sat in the village square and read the Twenty-third Book of the Odyssey to the descendants of those who had been dead for three thousand years. Overcome by emotion, he wept, and the villagers wept with him.
The second is the discovery of the tomb of King Tutankhamen. The year is 1922. Archaeologist Howard Carter has enlarged a hole in the door to the newly unearthed burial chamber. Lord Carnarvon, his backer on the project, and others, are crowded around him:
'Nervously Carter lit a match, touched it to the candle, and held it toward the hole. As his head neared the opening–he was literally trembling with expectation and curiosity–the warm air escaping from the chamber beyond the door made the candle flare up. For a moment Carter, his eye fixed to the hole and the candle burning within, could make out nothing. Then, as his eyes became gradually accustomed to the flickering light, he distinguished shapes, then their shadows, then the first colors. Not a sound escaped his lips; he was struck dumb. The others waited for what seemed to them like an eternity. Finally Carnarvon could no longer contain his impatience. "Can you see anything?" he inquired.
Carter, slowly turning his head, said shakily: "Yes, wonderful things."
As with so many books that shaped my young mind (such as it was), it is probably time to revisit Gods, Graves, and Scholars. (It is thought that C.W. Ceram – real name Kurt Wilhelm Marek – wrote so eloquently of the distant past in an effort to escape from his own recent past. Read this and judge for yourself.)
While working on a review of Peter Ackroyd's novel The Fall of Troy, I discovered this fabulous photograph of Heinrich Schliemann's wife Sophia wearing some of the jewels comprising what he called "Priam's Treasure."
In The Bog People, this is how P.V. Glob describes the discovery, in 1950, of the body that came to be known as Tollund Man:
'Momentarily, the sun burst in, bright and yet subdued, through a gate in blue thunder-clouds in the west, bringing everything mysteriously to life. The evening stillness was only broken, now and again, by the grating love-call of the snipe. The dead man, too, deep down in the umber-brown peat, seemed to have come alive. He lay on his damp bed as though asleep, resting on his side, the head inclined a little forward, arms and legs bent. His face wore a gentle expression–the eyes lightly closed, the lips softly pursed, as if in silent prayer. It was as though the dead man's soul had for a moment returned from another world, through the gate in the western sky.
The men digging up peat to use as fuel thought they had found the victim of a recent murder. They called the police. The officers, knowing that similar mummified remains had been found in the area before, called the local museum. Thus did Tollund Man pass once again into history. (He is thought to have lived during the fourth century BC.)
The men cutting fuel for the coming winter were not entirely mistaken in their surmise about the body they had uncovered. Tollund man was found with a noose around his neck.
The Bog People has been re-issued by New York Review Books, a publisher that's doing a terrific job of bringing the classics, both fiction and nonfiction, back into print.

Feeling hungry? You may want to read the rest of this article before you head to your favorite fast food restaurant and order your usual chemical and prescription drug-ridden meal. Did you know you're likely eating crushed beetles and or duck feathers with your fast food burger? Here are some of the most disgusting additives you're eating when you hit the drive-thru:
**Please share this for every one who is still fast asleep!**
1.) Ammonium Sulfate
2.) Silicone Oil
Chicken McNuggets are full of dimethylpolysiloxane, a silicone oil that is often used for making contact lenses and other medical items. Learn more about your beloved McNuggets here: The Chicken That Should Be Banned
3.) Cysteine-L
Fast food restaurants use Cysteine-L, an amino acid synthesized from human hair or duck feathers, to flavor their meat and soften their breads and pastries.
This additive can be found in 18 McDonald's menu items. It's potentially lethal, but don't worry, the FDA says it's generally regarded as safe (GRAS). Learn more about TBHQ here: The Petroleum Byproduct You Are Most Likely Eating
5.) Propylene Glycol
Propylene glycol is a chemical compound that can be found in anti-freeze, e-cigarettes, and that's right! Fast food!
6.) Prescription Drugs
By testing feathers, researchers from Johns Hopkins University found some very interesting characteristics of factory-farm-raised poultry. And you thought the pink slime scandal was bad? Anti-depressants as well as other prescription drugs are added to chicken feed for fast food "poultry" items. That's right, those McChicken sandwiches and McNuggets come from chickens that were raised on a steady diet of prescription, over-the-counter, and even banned drugs. Learn more about it here: 3 Dirty Chicken Facts Exposed
7.) Dimethylpolysiloxane
You'll find this in almost any fried fast food menu item and also in silly putty, contact lenses, caulking, shampoo and conditioners, cosmetics, polishes, heat resistant tiles, and the list goes on… Learn more about Dimethylpolysiloxane by following this link.
8.) Carminic Acid
Synthesized by Cochineal beetles, Carminic acid is used to dye foods, especially meats, red. You can learn more about the beetles in your food HERE.
9.) Cellulose
You'll find this organic compound, which is produced from wood pulp, in nearly every fast food menu item. Learn more about cellulose by following this link.
10.) Silicon Dioxide
This industrial sand is used in things like Wendy's chili to keep it from clumping together. Mmm… industrial sand. Learn more about silicon dioxide HERE.
Cooking your own food has never sounded more appealing. If you think you can't afford it, follow this link to learn how to grow your own organic produce. What's that all you have is an apartment? Check out these tips for apartment gardening!

Real Madrid prepare 100 mln-pound swoop for Luis Suarez
London: Real Madrid is speculated to have been preparing a 100 million-pound bid in order to lure Liverpool''s Luis Suarez as they plan a mega-money summer raid for the star striker.
Although Suarez has reportedly pledged his future to Liverpool in the recent weeks, Spanish side Real might tempt him with the chance of a dream move to the Galacticos and former club president Ramon Calderon said that he would not be surprised if Real makes a bid for the Uruguayan striker this summer.

According to the Daily Star, Suarez''s form has reportedly alerted Real boss Carlo Ancelotti after the striker netted 31 goals in last Premier League season that helped Liverpool secure the Champions League football for next season.
Speculations are that Ancelotti reportedly wants to replace France international Karim Benzema who disappointed in Spain scoring just 17 league goals over the course of the season.
Calderon said that Suarez is no doubt one of the best players in the world and he has had a fantastic season with Liverpool, adding that Real could definitely bid for the striker.
Calderon said that with Real one has to expect anything, adding that Benzema is a good player but it is true that he did not score as many goals as people thought he should.

These are the two most recent pages I have done and I haven't gotten much feedback from many people. These are hand drawn, hand inked, and colored digitally using GIMP 2.6 and a wacom bamboo tablet. I feel like these are fairly close to the tone and aesthetic that I was going for, but, there is always room for improvement. I would like to know your initial impressions to these pages, then, more specifically, what tone you get, how the art is working for you, what you think of the colors etc. Many thanks to all.

Grasso Bolo II Review
By: Kevin Estela, Founder and Head Instructor of Estela Wilderness Education, LLC
The Philippines is an island chain that has seen occupation by the Portuguese, Spanish, Japanese and the United States over the past 500 years. Despite years of foreign flags flying overhead, no occupying country has lasted forever. The indigenous people turned their cultivating tools into weapons and guerilla warfare tactics were difficult to combat. One reaction was the development of the .45 ACP after the Navy .38 revolvers failed to stop Moro warriors during the Philippine Insurrection in the late 19th century. The Filipino edged weapons received a fierce reputation, and for good reason. Now, years later, the blades once found in the hands of farmers and tribal warriors are still deeply embedded in the culture and continue to be utilized today by Filipino Marines, martial arts practitioners and everyday people.
Travel approximately 8250 miles East of Manila and you'll find a modern day Filipino bolo, the Grasso II Bolo, being made in the Bark River Knife and Tool factory in Escanaba, Michigan. A collaboration between LAPD Detective and Weapons Expert Mike Grasso and Bark River Knife and Tool Owner and Master Knife Maker Mike Stewart, the Grasso Bolo II is a medium sized bolo for general use. It is constructed of 5160 Spring Steel (an upgrade from truck leaf springs common in the PI) and measures 14.875" overall with a 9" blade. My sample to test and evaluate came with matte finished black and green linen micarta handle slabs and a snap retention cross draw sheath with an open design to accommodate the shape of the blade.
Testing Phase
I'm no stranger to Bolo designs. I'm half Filipino, an avid Filipino Martial Arts practitioner and therefore, someone who has spent plenty of time training with one. Also, a bolo of my own design made by Scott Gossman, has been a "go to" blade while teaching survival courses, heading up canoe trips and as my all-purpose camp knife. With these facts known, I wanted to start fresh with my testing and evaluation and not be influenced by my own bias or affinity for a particular bolo design.
I started my testing with a clean slate and approached a trusted authority for guidance, Tuhon Ray Dionaldo, the founder of Filipino Combat Systems. Tuhon Ray is a well-known master of the karambit, Tabak Toyok (Filipino Nunchuck), Sarong, rattan sticks, barong, bolo and virtually anything he touches. Look up his videos on YouTube and you'll see the man's ability and presence. He is a world traveler and Master Level Instructor,Tuhon, in the system I train in, Sayoc Kali. He is also a well-read PhD and someone I call a friend. We spoke on the phone one morning recently and discussed edged weapons and their uses.
According to Tuhon Ray, there are generally two types of Bolo designs, the pointy matulis design and the better known and more widely recognized Bonifacio. The matulis is characterized by light and fast attributes while the Bonifacio styles are heavier and more weight forward. Bolos, in the Philippines, are generally made one at a time for the individual and the construction is from whatever materials are available. Filipinos are able to use seemingly any material to make the tools they need. Tuhon Ray told me truck tires are now being used as handle materials and they're shaped the same way a synthetic handle is. This material, much like my linen micarta model, is impervious to water and salt. On a side note, Tuhon Ray told me all of his personal blades have linen micarta for handle slabs and he prefers the feel of the material. But back to the Bolo. The shape will vary from region to region depending on the primary purpose. There is even a bolo with an S shaped edge (think Spyderco Civilian) used for harvesting coconuts.
After an informative history lesson from Tuhon Ray, I asked him what advice he would give to someone who has never used a bolo before. He told me, "allow the weight of the weapon to do the work", meaning, don't muscle it. This is a concept I'm familiar with as it is what I tell my students when they use axes. The bolo then is a one handed chopper that utilizes its weight to do the work. Tuhon Ray informed me any horizontal or diagonally upwards cutting is using the arm muscles and fighting gravity. Cuts are made on a 45 degree angle downward incorporate the weight of the bolo in the swing. All you have to do is use proper body mechanics. Tuhon Ray further elaborated, "it is almost like a whipping motion just without the pull back." I would use the correct manner of cutting during my testing. I also tried another method called snap cutting (giving a flick of the wrist at the end of the swing) and found it to be effective, but slightly more tiring, in the short term too.
I moved onto testing the Grasso Bolo II extensively. I used it in lieu of a small hatchet or hand-and-a-half axe to limb a tree that recently came down on my property. Working from the base of the trunk towards the top and allowing for a generous follow through, the Grasso Bolo II made quick work of the limbs. This test is meant to duplicate the efforts a person would make in creating a spruce bough bed. Other than resin from the wood, there was no issue in working the blade this way. Not satisfied with simply working a softwood, I used the knife to chop through a good seasoned beech limb. For a relatively thick knife, the blade sunk deeply and didn't bind as I thought it would. I attest this to the edge geometry the folks at BRKT are famous for.
Years ago, Mike Stewart cut a section of manila rope in mid-air with a knife. I don't recall what diameter it was so I taped 3 pieces of scrap 3/8" manila cord together and gave it a swipe. I'm no competitive cutter but I am a knife user. The Bolo went right through and the pieces of manila cord fell at my feet. Had I more time and admittedly more cord, I would have tried more. I am sure my technique would only get better and more cords could be cut with practice. The remaining cord I press cut through until I was left with scraps fibers. Then I tested the edge and it was still very keen.
I tested the penetration ability of the tip on 3 pieces of 8-10 oz. leather. This is almost ½" of leather. With a solid thrust, the tip of the bolo went right through all three pieces of leather. Despite a wide stock, the tip is surprisingly capable of penetration.
For fine work, I used the Grasso Bolo II for kitchen duty. Despite a thick spine, the convex edge sliced well for a big knife. Rather than using it for slicing only, I choked forward of the grip and used a pinch grip close to the tip. Popular with indigenous tribes around the world, this grip allows a big blade to be used like a smaller blade for fine work. The unsharpened swedge found on this blade was not uncomfortable to hold onto and anyone can imagine when this edge is sharpened, this style of cutting is dangerous to attempt.
A more morbid test and homage to the late Ron Hood, was the edge holding test on bone. Bolos were always heavy tools used for thicker wood clearing but when thrust (no pun intended) into weapon service, they were infamous for limbing and decapitating. I had a leftover ham bone and proceeded to chop it. I highly recommend glasses when working with bone like this and luckily I had a pair of safety glasses on because more than once I was struck with bone fragments. Bone can seriously damage thin edges and steel with a bad heat treat. I am pleased to say the 5160 steel held up fine in my tests. I cut through the thickest part of the bone for my test and did so easily.
No test of a bolo would be complete without testing the carving sweet spot just forward of the ricasso. Upon examination of the handle design, the forward sweeping shape of the handle allows for perfect thumb placement while fine carving. Leave it to the folks at BRKT and Mike Grasso to take this use into consideration when designing the handle shape.
After extensive testing, I'm very pleased with the Grasso Bolo II. It is a knife I would recommend to anyone looking for a large chopping tool in a somewhat compact package. While not an axe substitute, it is certainly capable of cutting through hardwood. Given the performance of this knife, I am eager to see how the other models (Grasso Bolo I and III) will feel in the hand. For now, I'm very impressed and believe you will be too.
