Chino & Nacho Radio
Chino & Nacho are a Venezuelan reggaeton duo with a romantic, tropical style who made their album debut nationally in 2008 and later scored an international chart-topping smash hit with "Mi Ni+¦a Bonita" in 2010. Founded in 2007, the duo is comprised of Chino (born Jes+¦s Alberto Miranda P+¬rez on November 15, 1984, in Caracas, Venezuela) and Nacho (born Miguel Ignacio Mendoza on August 22, 1983, in Lecher+¡as, Anzo+ítegui, Venezuela). Prior to founding Chino & Nacho, they were members of the Caracas-based tropical boy band Calle Ciega. Active from 1998 to 2007, Calle Ciega released several albums and scored numerous hits, most notably "Mi Cachorrita," which topped the Venezuelan singles chart for several months in 2005. Following the incredible success of "Mi Cachorrita," Chino & Nacho split from Calle Ciega after the group's final album, M+ís Caliente (2007). Known informally as "los Mackediches" they made their full-length album debut shortly thereafter with +ëpoca de Reyes (2008). Showcasing a wide-ranging reggaeton style that is both romantic and tropical, the album was a blockbuster success in Venezuela, spawning the smash hits "Vagabundo de Amor," an Eliel production featuring Divino, and "Dentro de M+¡," a Richy Pe+¦a production featuring Don Omar. Well established as Venezuela's top homegrown urban act, Chino & Nacho signed an international recording contract with Universal Music in November 2009 and made their stateside debut with another Pe+¦a production, "Mi Ni+¦a Bonita." Over the course of the next several months, "Mi Ni+¦a Bonita" rose to the top of the [RoviLink="BW"]Billboard Latin Songs chart. Meanwhile, Universal released the full-length album Mi Ni+¦a Bonita (2010) on its Machete Music imprint. Though comprised primarily of previously released material from +ëpoca de Reyes, Mi Ni+¦a Bonita features three other new songs in addition to the title track. ~ Jason BirchmeierPortions of Content Provided by Rovi Corporation.

Liza Minnelli On Hollywood Childhood, Elvis & SIMPLY LIZA
Internationally celebrated stage and screen icon Liza Minnelli discusses her incomparable Hollywood history, her affection for Elvis Presley and her new solo show SIMPLY LIZA as part of a wide-ranging new interview.
Looking back at her legendary heritage - the only Oscar-winning offspring of two Academy Award winners, mother Judy Garland and father Vincente Minnelli - Minnelli states of her upbringing, "I never felt I had to live up to anything!"
Minnelli continues, "I was raised not to feel that. I was raised to be an individual and I'm so grateful to my parents for that! A lot of it had to do with them saying, 'Don't listen to us! Just listen to yourself. There's no one like you.' I could have done anything!"
Commenting upon her affection for her favorite Broadway musical, BYE BYE BIRDIE, and its real-life inspiration, Elvis Presley, Minnelli remembers, "I loved Elvis."
Yet, when questioned why she did not proceed to pursue a career in rock music, Minnelli shares, "I couldn't do that. First of all, I was a girl! But I could dance like that! Still can!"
As for her new show, SIMPLY LIZA, Minnelli reveals, "It's called SIMPLY LIZA. It's songs that I like that other people like, some of which I haven't sung in a while and some that I've never sung, [like] 'Yes [I Can]' which opens the show."

Millom farmer just misses out on UK's first Wagyu meat
6:09pm Wednesday 10th November 2010 in Farm & country By Daniel Orr, Reporter
A SOUTH Lakeland man who hoped his farm would be the first in the UK to serve up pure home-bred Japanese wagyu meat to the public has expressed his disappointment at being 'pipped at the post'.
Jonathan Denby's cattle were bred at High Lowscales Farm, Millom, using embryos and sur-rogate mothers, and the hotelier was hopeful he would serve the speciality to his guests before anyone else.
But Suffolk farmer Andrew Deacon is now supplying the 'caviar of meats' to Raymond Blanc's gourmet restaurant Le Manoir Aux Quat Saisons and his local pub.
"Great minds think alike," joked Mr Denby. "It looks as though Andrew had exactly the same idea that I did at about the same time.
"I applaud what he has done. I think his prog-ramme is absolutely fantastic and it is slightly disappointing to me that he has just pipped me at the post because my first two bullocks are ready to be slaughtered in the new year. They are fabulous.
"It's a pity from my point of view that he put it into practice a couple of months before me.
"From the pictures I have seen of the meat from Mr Deacon's farm, the beef looks excellent."
Wagyu meat is highly sought after, but until now, only imported cuts were being served – with Gordon Ramsay charging £110 for a steak at his Maze Grill, London.
Mr Denby says that when it is served at his three hotels – The Damson Dene Hotel, Crosthwaite, the Newby Bridge Hotel, and Kendal's Riverside Hotel – the meat will be much more affordable.
"The meat will be ready either in January or February. Wagyu is never hung, unlike British beef, which is hung for 30 days.
"In Japan it is on the plate within three or four days of slaughter and it will be exactly the same for my Wagyu."

WAKEFIELD — Richard Tisei announced his candidacy for Congress yesterday by blasting John Tierney for his support of Obamacare, but also said he hopes to steer clear of the personal mud-slinging that characterized their battle two years ago.
Tisei, a Wakefield Republican who served for 26 years in the state Legislature, came within 1 percentage point of knocking off Tierney for the 6th Congressional seat in 2012.
The campaign was dominated by charges surrounding an illegal gambling business run by Tierney's brothers-in-law and the role of his wife, Patrice, in managing her brother's bank account.
While not guaranteeing that the issue won't come up again this year, Tisei said he's planning to focus on Tierney's legislative record.
"I'm going to spend most of my time talking about his judgments on issues in Washington," Tisei said. "That's what I really intend to concentrate on. One thing I've learned is that you can't control what comes out. To some extent I hope that doesn't happen again this time."
Tisei made his announcement in a room packed with about 125 supporters in the American Civic Center, a former armory building in his hometown of Wakefield. Tisei said it was the same room where he launched his political career 30 years ago as a candidate for state representative at the age of 21.
"When I went door-to-door they thought I was the paperboy," he said.
Tisei's expected entry into the race likely means another tough challenge for Tierney, the Salem Democrat who is in his ninth term in Congress.
Tierney's office released a statement yesterday saying Tisei "would be just another vote" for House Speaker John Boehner and "Tea Party Republicans."
"The people of the 6th District have already rejected Richard Tisei's brand of divisive partisan politics," Tierney spokesman Daniel Rubin said. "Richard's out-of-touch agenda would mean leaving middle-class families out in the cold while doubling down on jobs-killing budget cuts and rolling back protections for seniors, children and veterans."

Campaigning For Matt Brown: Welterweight Title Contender

Robert Winfree

Matt Brown is being thought of as a contender for a title shot following his 7-0 run! 411's Robert Winfree lays out all the reasons why the UFC should give Brown the shot and why you as a fan should be supporting it as well!

Last Saturday the UFC put on a card that had no promotional material behind it. UFC Fight Night 40: Brown vs. Silva had a poster made and that was about it. There was no commercial, no television spots, nothing to make the general public aware that an event was happening. Despite the lack of effort the event had more viewers than the previous Fox Sports 1 outing, an average of 655,000 as compared to the 641,000 average that watched the finale of
The Ultimate Fighter: Nations
a couple of weeks ago. The main event had a high household rating, for the network, of .55 for males 18-49. In the main event, Matt Brown returned from an injury related layoff to defeat Erick Silva with strikes in the third round. If you saw the event, Matt Brown came off like a big deal. The crowd in his hometown of Cincinnati Ohio gave him a loud reception, and got louder as the fight went on. Presentation is a big deal, the fans in an arena reacting to you makes the people watching at home feel like you're a big deal, and Matt Brown came across very well.
Following the victory Matt Brown asked the live crowd who they wanted to see fight for a UFC title, and has since made it clear he wants a title shot.
I say give it to him.
Brown is now on a seven fight winning streak. That's substantial, more so when you consider that welterweight is one of, if not the, deepest division the UFC has. Brown is now tied with UFC champions Renan Barao and Chris Weidman for second place among longest active UFC winning streaks with seven. UFC light heavyweight champion Jon Jones leads that category with eleven. The time is right to give Brown a title shot, he's earned his spot in the top five of the division, he's not leap frogging a deserving challenger, and the fight would be good.
Other fighters have developed winning streaks like Brown's, but few have not been champions. The longest winning streak in UFC history belongs to Anderson Silva, who won an incredible sixteen fights in a row. Of those sixteen victories, eleven were title fights. Georges St-Pierre retired on a twelve fight winning streak, eleven of which were title fights. Looking at the list of UFC winning streaks, only two men achieved longer streaks than Brown without becoming champion, Jon Fitch and Gray Maynard who both fought for the title in their respective divisions. The only men to win at least seven fights and not fight for the title are Jim Miller and George Sotiropolous, both of whom competed in the incredibly stacked lightweight division and had the unfortunate timing of being on their rolls when the title was tied up in rematches involving Frankie Edgar and either BJ Penn or Gray Maynard. Brown has beaten his last seven opponents, and finished six of them. No one at welterweight is on the roll that Brown is, a title shot wouldn't be out of line for any fighter who's won seven straight fights in the UFC. Brown could, and likely should, be ranked in the top five of the division and the UFC has shown in the past that being in the top five is enough to warrant a title shot.
Brown wouldn't be jumping over a more worthy contender if he were given a title shot against Johny Hendricks. Of the other top welterweights none of them have made a clear cut case as being the number one contender. Robbie Lawler lost to Hendricks in his last outing, and while the fight was good it wasn't a close decision and no one thought Lawler was robbed and should get an immediate rematch. Lawler is also set to fight Jake Ellenberger at UFC 173, and while Lawler is the deserving favorite it is very much a fight he could lose. Tyron Woodley is only two fights removed from losing to Jake Shields, and his victory over Carlos Condit involved an injury to Condit. Woodley is fighting the other name being tossed around as a contender, Rory MacDonald, in his next appearance. MacDonald has an impressive skill set, and when he decides he wants to smash his opponent he does so. Unfortunately he's got as many boring fights during his UFC run as he does impressive outings. The fight between Woodley and MacDonald could be awful, both men have shown moments of brilliance, but to anyone who's seen enough of their fights you are aware of the risk, and you might wanting to pull your eyeballs out by the second round. Matt Brown isn't just positioned properly in terms of rankings, he's got a track record of fights that, at their worst, are enjoyable. I can't remember a bad fight featuring Matt Brown, even his losses to Seth Baczynski or Chris Lytle were entertaining while they lasted.
That leads me to my final point, is there anyone out there who thinks a fight between champion Johny Hendricks and Matt Brown would be boring? Tyron Woodley was in the process of reverting to his wet blanket persona when Carlos Condit hurt his knee, Rory MacDonald has had some performances that were baffling in terms of their near awfulness. Sure you could roll the dice and have your newly crowned champion fight a guy who will clinch against the fence and do nothing, or circle and jab with nothing else in terms of activity, but is that really the best course of action? Welterweight is one of the premier divisions in the UFC, there is an unspoken rule about title fights in both that and the light heavyweight division, those divisions have a rich history and we sometimes hold them to a different standard. Johny Hendricks just became welterweight champion, his fight with Robbie Lawler was good. What better way to follow that up than with a fight that could surpass it in terms of in cage excitement? A fight between Johny Hendricks and Matt Brown would be great, the odds of it being less than enjoyable are small, especially when compared with the track records of Tyron Woodley and Rory MacDonald. I can imagine only one scenario where Hendricks and Brown don't have a fight that is at least enjoyable and at best great, and it involves Hendricks deciding to just wrestle and get top position for three of the five rounds. Comparing the likelihood of that happening to Hendricks and, say, Tyron Woodley spending about twenty minutes clinched against the fence, as a paying customer I'd take the Brown fight over Woodley every single time. Why risk your new champions first defense turning into a stinker when you can all but guarantee it gets the fans on their feet?
I say give Matt Brown a title shot, the UFC isn't jumping a worthy challenger, and the fight itself would be awesome. The man has earned his crack at the gold, and the promotion has nothing to lose by making the fight.

"The lighting and table arrangement make for a calm atmosphere." in 2 reviews
"Great quality, good price, nice layout and feel to this location and if you want a great child friendy place to eat this will not fail you, kids love the little chopsticks to." in 2 reviews
If you are in Windsor & like not to end up
in a tourist trap or eating some unhealthy stuff this is a very good place to go.
Very Friendly service , good-very good food quality.
People seem to really love this place, but to be honest, I was less than impressed. Apparently they have a new style of service... its called "we make no changes, exceptions, and you eat the food as its done, even if 1 person gets there food 10 min before everyone else."
Some like it, it just wasn't my style. When you can't make any changes at all to a meal, or have to sit there while the whole table eats, just because your meal isn't done yet... well, not cool.
Oh, and they write little numbers on your place mat as some internal code while you order. Kind of corny.
In the quest for good food in the UK (which can sometimes feel like an odyssey), I stumbled across this little gem. Channeling the traditions of Japanese style ramen houses this chain offers great eats and an interesting atmosphere.
The seating is all together with tables arranged in long rows. You'll find yourself sandwiched between other patrons, rubbing elbows with fellow ramen lovers. You also need to be aware that the food arrives in no particular order. Whatever they cook first is sent out without concept of entrees or starters.
They have a lot of options on the menu, so even large groups will find something they like and if there is truly a picky eater in your crew, that's nothing a bottle of hot sake won't cure (or three).
I wish they had this establishment stateside because I have a lot of fond memories of the place. I even met an awesome clan of Columbian-Italians one night while dining here and we all became fast friends (but that's another story).
Wagamama was a little hard to find at first. The entrance is a step down and from an alleyway. Several co workers had come here because it's pretty much the only real restaurant that is open late. Plenty of pubs are open late but forget about restaurants. The food here was pretty decent but very overpowering with spices. It was really only acceptable because it was open late and my crew of about a dozen people were practically starved and not in the mood for pub food.
All of our food came out at different times and our appetizers came after the main meal. I was kind of trapped in the area due to my work schedule and proximity of any other decent food establishments.
Bottom line: It's OK food. But if you can eat before shops close down at 7pm and don't want pub food in the area, you'll be very limited. Wagamama isn't horrible but it's nothing to rave about.
I was so excited when I saw a Wagamama at the Windsor train station. I had heard so much about this place and couldn't wait to finally try it. I'm not sure if I ordered the wrong dish or if they had a bad night, but the food was awful! I ordered the duck dumplings and curry noodle soup. The duck dumpling had plum or hoisin sauce mixed in the meat as well as dolloped outside for dipping. GROSS! so overpowering. The curry soup had no flavor and the chicken was over cooked and bland. The couple sitting next to me and I were fighting for the spices cause none of our food had any flavor. I was actually sad for the animals that died for my meal because it was so inedible. By far the worst meal I had had in the UK.
Hoping it was just an off night.
Wagamama is a fusion of traditional Japanese cooking and contemorary presentation and style. Table arrangements are somewhat pro-social as they are in long benches and you are sometimes sat next to complete strangers.
Food there is rather pricey and very filling and almost worth the money. I would reccommend the seafood ramen noodles which are a plethora of taste and texture. Certainly, I would reccommend it to anyone wishing for a nice meal out.
Box standard wagama menu. I always find them a little pricey for the quality if the food, service and the unpredictability of the patrons on benches, typically being crammed together. The Windsor restaurant is clean and always busy. Staff can be a little terse, but then you have every right to afford them a tip relative to the service.
Chili-anything here is a must. It's the right amount of spice paired with your choice of meat or veggies. I have yet to try their soups, but I've heard they are palate-pleasers as well.
All I have to say about this place is.. Katsu Curry!! Mmm delicious. The service is always every so cheerful and I had such fun with my boyfriends parents when we went to eat recently.
Japanese fare here is like espresso at Starbucks - there's better to be had, it's a far cry from the real thing, but it's convenient. Came here while traveling solo on business. Options are limited in Windsor on a Sunday night and Wagamama was an acceptable choice. The ramen broth was neither rich nor flavorful, but I opted for the spicy chili ramen, which compensated for the otherwise mediocre taste. The chicken kara age was crispy and was improved with a squeeze of lime and a sprinkle of chili pepper. I washed everything down with a Kirin Ichiban and left satisfied...and a little ashamed.
Having been to other Wagamama locations, I will say that the food and service are consistent. Not good, not bad - just fine.
Wagamamas is a lovely place to eat out. The lighting and table arrangement make for a calm atmosphere.
Their range of japanese foods are exquisite. They provide dishes for anyones liking and have a rather good vegetarian variety.
They take bookings and also have a takeaway service.
The food is prepared very quickly and to a high standard.
I love eating here and would recommend it to any person.
This Wagamama restaurant has a nice layout to it, and is different to others that I have been to, as it has a larger number of smaller tables, to seat around 6 people, as opposed to large, across the room size benches to seat around 24. This makes it a nice place to come with a smaller group of friends, as it is more private and personal. The food is delicious, especially Yaki Soba. :)
Great quality, good price, nice layout and feel to this location and if you want a great child friendy place to eat this will not fail you, kids love the little chopsticks to.
It is only Wagamama, so you should know what to expect, but it is still excellent. Staff are friendly, service is very fast, the restaurant is smart.
If you want a cheap small meal then opt for the kids menu. Green tea is free if you don't fancy alcohol and tap water is too boring.
Superb location for central Windsor and the tourist attractions like the Castle.
Have eaten here on a number of times over the last couple of years, with variable results. The worst found some glass (from a tumbler in the food) no refund as promised. Lately gave it a second chance and the service was much improved, though the drinks prices are far to high.

Just a quick note to announce the winner of the snowflake earrings! Lucky #8 is Saraccino!
(I asked Random.org, but asking the 8 Ball is a fun flashback! The image above is linked to a virtual Magic 8 ball, btw!)
I will send the snowflakes to you! Just email me with your address!
On a different note - thinking of snowflakes... I saw this over coffee this morning: Snowflakes for Sandy Hook.
What a lovely idea, to cut snowflakes and send them to show our love and support to the community. Now where are my scissors?
Spirit of the season...
My hearts and prayers go out to all those affected by the tragedy in Connecticut. And at this time of year, let us remember the season is one of love, family, and friendship. Hold your loved ones close, and remember to breathe...
It seems like ages ago that Sally of The Studio Sublime sent out a call for participants - the 2nd Annual Ornament Swap. I worked on mine and sent it away before Thanksgiving - that also seems like so much time has passed... ( My original partner was unable to participate - so I will be sharing what I made. Sally adopted me as her second partner, and I will be sending her something along these lines in the very near future. Sorry for any confusion. )
My idea started with a tiny vial of snow, of ice, of crystalized winter. I prefer to do seasonal motifs, as everyone's beliefs are personal and varied... I set up the polymer oven - as I have been doing more and more of late. Polymer is versatile and immediate. Earthenware and stoneware have such a long process time: dry, fire, glaze, fire... For something like this polymer suits the bill nicely.
The swap brief said to include an artist bead. Although I am creating the entire piece, I wanted to be true to the challenge, and created these snowflake charms. You will see them again...The bird and tree are stamped and hand painted onto ivory polymer. Here it is all together:
And my partner/friend? So sweet! Sent me this ...I may have to keep this up in the studio all winter!
Ooh! I love the flame patina on the copper, the SueBead with silver, the accents of olive and aqua! Its so lovely...
So - those extra snowflake charms... They ended up here:
Two pairs were already sent on their way to lucky winners of another challenge. I think I will save one pair for my MiL... So that leaves YOU dear reader. If you want to be entered into the give away - mention that in your commment! ( And it would be so easy if you were willing to leave your email as well...) I will pick a winner Monday afternoon!
So - thank you all for celebrating and hopping with me. Here are my friends and fellow swap partners. Happy Holidays!
Happy Krampusnacht!
Be wary if you are out tonight. Should you see a devilish dapper beast abroad - you would be well aware if you met Krampus on Krampusnacht! Could it be the devilsih appearrance, cloven hooves and horns? The lascivious grin? The bundle of switches or the basket on his back - from which muffled cries of kidnapped naughty children can be heard? What gave it away?
Krampus travels abroad this night - searching out naughty children. He might switch them, rattle his chains, scare them witless, or stuff them in his basket to take home to torment. But he usually returns them on the morrow - and they are most often never so naughty again! Krampus is the companion of St Nikolas - who's feast day is celebrated tomorrow. This is the St Nicholas ( aka Sinterklaas) who leaves delectable treats inside your wooden shoes left by the fire; oranges, chocolate, peppermints...
But as scary as some images of Krampus are - I find the cheeky Victorian era postcards the best! Naughty takes on a whole new meaning...
While Santa Claus expanded shop and sold products in mid-1800s America, the holiday card craze exploded in Europe.In Austria and other parts of Europe, countless season's greeting cards featured Krampus, often emblazoned with the phrase "Grüß Vom Krampus" (Greetings from Krampus). While the lurid images are suffused with a modern sense of the comic and the surreal, they still resonant with mythic power and primordial horror. And with Krampus representing the naughty side of the season, the sexy subtext is hard to ignore in these often very cheeky cards. A century later, the brilliance of these magnificent works of pop art is now gaining global recognition. (Krampus.com)
So however you decide to celebrate Krampusnacht - be you naughty or nice... Enjoy!

Feeling festive! The November AJE component reveal!
Its hard to believe we are on the cusp of December. I just posted the Art Jewelry Elements December Component of the Month - my turn next, and its hard to think about that reveal being on New Year's Day!!! But I digress, and get ahead of myself...
For the current month of November, filled with fall leaves, and roasting delicacies... we have this harbinger of the season to come... a bronze clay snowflake from member Lesley Watt in the UK.
I immediately wanted to make it spin, to wear it on a long necklace over a tunic sweater... but the actual size was larger than I expected. I think my design is similar to what I had imagined, but as I started creating a new idea formed... I was working in polymer as time was limited, so earthenware clay was out. No time to make it, dry it, fire it, glaze it... you get the point. I wanted to frame it with an ornate, even Victorian type pattern...
... but when I put the polymer and the flake together, I needed a visual rest to focus the eye on the snowflake. I used leather scraps in a deep teal, wrong side up, and the color picked up accents in the polymer very well. The back is dealt with as well, since both sides of an ornament are on display:
Te leather and polymer "snowflake" button also camoflauge the wires where the front bead is attached.
I had been reading and re-reading some seasonal folklore on the plants holly, ivy, and mistletoe for my AJE Holiday Open House posts. It was so much fun to create polymer leaves and bead berries. I even have extra - perhaps a sprig for my lapel? The snowflake theme had me feeling very festive, and I made a few additional polymer snowflakes. I think a give away is in order!
Winners will be randomly selected - 2 winners - from comments here and on my Facebook page (Please leave an email in your comment so I am sure to find you if you win!) Let me surprise you with a pair!
Happy Holidays! I am starting to think about decorating the house....
But wait! There is more... My team members offerings:
OH! Dont forget! This is the last day to enter for a free Labyrinth Component of the Month! ANd I have 5 to give away! The post is here: December CoM at AJE.
So many things...
Happy Thanksgiving.
I have so much to be thankful for... my husband, family, my work, my friends.
I travelled yesterday without any stress or mishaps. I am visiting my parents and my sisters, and my little nephew. While I miss my husband and his family - I am so thankful to be spending time with my far away sisters! There are delicious smells wafting up the stairs, and I think another cup of coffee is calling my name...
I hope you have a wonderful day with you and yours!
I am also thankful of my online community of friends and family. I recently joined Art Jewelry Elements and am thrilled to be working with such a diverse and talented group of women. We are hosting a Holiday Open House tomorrow! Blog posts every half hour or so, recipes, articles, sales, folklore, and beads... of course! Whether you are shopping Black Friday in the stores or staying at home - stop by and visit with us. Many of the sales will run all weekend. I know I will be adding items to my Etsy store throughout the weekend, and especially on Cyber Monday! Thank you for your interest and support! Until later...
FaerieCon 2012 - a feast of friends, folklore, and fantasy
Its hard to know where to begin. FaerieCon this past weekend was a reunion, a celebration, and a homecoming. It has taken me all week to write this post. Monday, back at home, I felt cocooned in what I refer to as the "Euphoria bubble" and was unwilling to venture out into the "real" world. Its a feeling of internal warmth, of euphoria and yet bittersweet joy that the time together has come to an end. I feel connected to my friends in a finely spun Internet web, connected yet seperated by miles... After a weekend of mayhem and madness, mirth and mystery it is hard to settle in and grocery shop or stand in line at the Post office.
I have many life long friends that I have met at FaerieCon. Some may think it odd that 2.5 days of a retail fantasy themed convention would yield such closeness. But its not to be measured in hours on the clock. These are people who understand me instantly, no explanations needed. These are poeple who may share similar upbringings, or life expereiences, or challenges and frustrations. But we meet on common ground, with so much shared experience. Attending my first FC in 2009 I instantly felt at home and so wanted to be adopted into the tribe, of these like minded creative people. And I was welcomed with open arms and open wings. So many friendships were of long standing I felt a bit of an outsider - my baggage only... In subsequent years - I feel truly part of the tribe. This year was even more intensely joyous, and thus bittersweet as we left the Realm and headed "home"
In my life - I have worn many hats: awkward smart kid, art student, art teacher, artist... When you are 11 its not cool to have your head stuck in a book of myth. I found Elfquest at age 10 and had a physical reaction to the story and the art. Heart pounding, face flushed, incredulity and love. I read all the mythology i could get my hands on....In High school - it was Arthurian legends, Celtic myth...and the Pre-Raphaelites. My amazement at discovering artists creating with the same inspirations, having read the same materials; that sense of connection through time. When you are an art student in college, so many classmates are all angst and turmoil... I was fabricating sterling penannular broaches and painting surreal compositions with archetypal mythic themes - snakes and apples anyone? As a teacher, I found good friends - but not colleagues who understood the passionate desire to create and express myself through my work. I think life is so often arranged in circles. Some circles where one part of your complicated self is welcomed; other circles satisfy other needs. Can you imagine the joy in finding a circle where you can feel whole? Where all of your interests and attributes are recognized, welcomed, and appreciated? Thats how this Mythic community makes me feel. Green Men handing out acorns and blessings, discussing Waterhouse and Burne-Jones over a glass of wine...discussing kitchen witchery and runes, living with intention.
I have the good fortune to be a working artist. I do teach part time, but my days are split between creating in the studio and the chores of running one's own small business. I can keep living in this creative space as I work and travel to shows. At times I feel like a Mythic Ambassador - setting up at a regular fine arts festival... with my mermaids and dryads, Celtic dieties, totem animals... Its lovely when your work resonates with people and they stop to talk, ask questions... and perhaps make a purchase. And it is interesting to see the mythic icons spark interest anew, speak to that collective uncosciousness. And the teacher in me loves to share...
I started the arts festival circuit in 2004(?) after returning East from a brief sojourn in San Diego. After making the leap to put my work out there I knew it was the right path for me. And I was happy doing that - thankful for the Internet that gave me access to thinks like Endicott Studios... But never in my wildest dreams did I imaging meeting Terri Windling, or the Frouds, Caitlin Matthews or Charles' Vess & deLint... Artists and authors whose work was so influencial to me. Knowing there were other creative people out there - like me - was huge. Getting to meet them as peers and discuss art, pets, myth - I can't tell you what that means to me. I may be alone in my studio with my dogs, sawing metal or glazing clay; but I am never alone. Thank you new friends and old for having helped me find my place in the mythic world.
Autumn - the reveal for Suburban Girl Design Team
I love Fall. It truly is my favorite season. The crisp zing in the air, the colors, leaves... So when Diana sent us our stoneware leaf for the Suburban Girl design team, I was thrilled. My thoughts were on leaves - as I was working with Kristen's beaded leaf for the AJE team...and I wanted this to stand out and be unique, different...
The quote is from Peter Mulvey - "... and the leaves were telling secrets to the wind." The copper was a scrap, already reminiscent of a leaf, tweaked a bit with the jeweler's saw. I liked the way it hung, and allowed the heavier leaf to balance the enameled acorn. ( Thank you Carol Myers!)
The lovely copper clasp from fellow team mate Michelle!
The whole necklace: seed pod beads, tiger's eye in yellow and red, wood jasper... finished with seed beads and chain.
Hand stamped copper links: "Change"- since this season heralds the change of the year into the fallow reflective period of the winter. So much change around us - from leaves, to routines, to weather... And I liked the shapes balancing the lozenges of the tiger's eye opposite.
I loved working with this pendant of Diana's! It was a pleasure! Thanks for stopping by - let me leave you with a question before you visit my fellow team members' blogs - What is your favorite aspect of Autumn?

Art Jewelry Elements - October reveal!
October is going out with a bang... at least here in the Mid Atlantic. I am writing this ahead of the reveal date, as we have a predicted date with Hurricane Sandy...
You may recall that a month or so ago - I shared with you that I had become a member of the Art Jewelry Elements team - a fantastically talented group of bead artists, jewelry artists, designers... here and in the UK. At AJE we have a challenge of sorts... Component of the Month. Components are made, and offered to the team, and in a give away to the readers. Magic happens, and we post the pix here!
October's CotM was this crazy fabulous seed beaded bead set and leaf charm by Kristen Stevens of "My Bead Journey". Take a look :
I knew I wanted to showcase the leaf and give it a little more visual impact as it was really delicate. I have a tendenacy to incorporate text into my pieces, as you most likely have gathered by now... In keeping with the organic concept of the piece, I chose to pair it with seed pod slices, pearls, rough emeralds, and citrine. I utilized the seed pod beads as cones of a sort, where I attached seed bead and leather strands for the back of the piece.
Here's a detail of the pendant...to me the leaf was asking to be embellished - so I enameled a small flower and attached it with a soft rivet, using an enameled headpin. (Thank you SueBeads!) The quote reads: "dance on the edges of time" - an excerpt from this quote by Rabindranath Tagore: "Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf." That quote really struck me; so perfect for the season.
I will say - I had never used beaded beads before and wasn't sure how I would incorporate them into my aesthetic. ( Hence the challenge, I know...) I am very pleased with the result, and love the beads. I like the texture they add, and a bit of volume visually while being lightweight. I look forward to working with them again! Thanks Kristen!
PLease stop by the Art Jewelry Elements blog to see what my colleagues have done!
Give a hoot! And vote for a hoot...
While the title of this contest makes me laugh - I had to enter, and share...
The timing corresponds with Halloween, naturally. Artisan Whimsy is an online social networking group for beaders and the like. They are hosting this contest! There are categories to vote for owl components and finished jewelry featuring owls. I make quite a few:
1. Stoneware owls - fired to ^10 reduction for you potters out here.
Earthenware owls - more colorful, more contrast.
Athena's owl: this mold I made from a reproduction on an ancient Athenian drachma coin. I did NOT carve that myself!
4. Mythic Nature pendant line - owl totem. This one I DID carve from wet clay, carving and modeling the features from scratch. I then made a mold, and can make multiples from my original design. Each one is hand painted and takes approximately 20 minutes for the underglaze only! I love the variations I can achieve though...
A few of these owls have found there way to my Etsy shop. ( Although start a "convo" with me if there is something you want not listed.) Please wing on over and take a look!
Happy Halloween.
Pumpkin spice and polymer skulls...
So I think I havent posted for a week. Sorry. It was a busy week. At times I think fall will settle down, when shows are over for the season and I resume my teaching on Saturdays. Not so. FaerieCon is 2 weeks away. I have workshops and classes going on in addition to the regular Sat kids cermaics class. I am thrilled !!! to be a member of the Art Jewelry Elements blog. Working on the October AJE design team reveal, as well as regular blog posts. All good, but busy. So here are a few snapshots for you...
The flavor of the season...
From my ofrenda table/altar in the house. And yes - he has a gold tooth!
Last of the harvest...
Waitresses and a happy couple...
Sugar skulls! Read all the details at the AJE blog or shop for these on Etsy!
A collaborative piece from me and Cooky Schock. Read more about out shared creative ventures at Coast 2 Coast Creative!
Copper, enamel. faux bone... work proceeding nicely for FaerieCon.
Steampunk cameos... some with a bit of cheekiness...
So pour a coffee, enjoy the weather on the deck, and stay tuned for more work in progress as I create magic in preparation for FaerieCon!

CPAC Caps Conference Season
Douglas Kellogg
March 10, 2014
NTU & NTUF hit the two big conferences this late winter, the International Students for Liberty Conference (ISFL), and of course the granddaddy of them all, CPAC, the Conservative Political Action Conference – with encouraging results.
If you missed any of the action, check out our pictures on Facebook and our Instagram account, or Twitter to catch up. We also recorded a special two-part CPAC podcast from the floor, featuring six guests covering everything from digital liberty to state pension gimmicks.
After it first debuted with success at ISFL, hundreds of CPAC attendees rushed to play "Cards Against Liberty" at our booth and become NTU members. Players would finish sentences including "What keeps John Boehner up at night" and "The IRS's next target:" with quips like "the finale of Breaking Bad", "Obamacare", or "Adlai Stevenson."
In addition to the games, NTU staff educated on big issues like the President's budget, threats of increased taxes, and how to get involved in local taxpayer activities… and Federal Affairs Manager Nan Swift even had some fun chatting with NPR.
Big government may seem to be on the march, but even with Darth Vader at the conference, the taxpayer movement is poised to strike back with your help!

Boise police school resource officers on Wednesday arrested a student accused of bringing a knife to a school for at-risk youth.
Westly Kelly McKay, 18, of Boise was in the Ada County Jail on a misdemeanor charge of carrying a weapon at school. A teacher at Victory Academy alerted the school resource officer after she saw a knife with a blade about 3 1/4 inches long, police said.
There was no threat associated with the incident, police said, and McKay was cooperative. He is due to appear in court on Thursday.

codename for a Pair of blind angel and a gold golem, the angel is once a famous war angel, but the war has taken both of her eyes.
as a gratitude of her service in warfare - the ArchAngel given her a golem that act as her eyes with the syncronized mind from both warrior, they both act as unseparated pair of warrior and moving like a pair of butterfly and slay a hundred demon in a blink of eye.
and thus they both get a nickname "Philia" which mean "Friendship" or "love"

On Explaining the Differences in Economic Growth Rates in OECD Countries
AbstractIn this study, we examine the role played by fiscal policy in explaining the differences in economic growth rates of the nineteen OECD countries over the 1971-1999 period. We model the impact of government spending variables (which can be taken as indicators of the size of government) on economic growth via their impact on total factor productivity, and estimate the model using the random coefficients approach. Our results indicate that total factor productivity growth is impacted adversely by the size of government, when total government outlays (relative to GDP) are used to measure government size. On the other hand, if we measure government size in terms of the growth of government consumption, the impact is unambiguously positive. The difference is likely due to the fact that government transfers were the reason behind the sharp upward trend in fiscal deficits over this period, resulting in high taxation levels. In both cases, the evidence is not strong enough to suggest a monotonic relationship between the magnitude of this impact and government size.

all sorts of fun and excitement within the curtain of chaos," said event

Found November 02, 2012 on Pirates Prospects:
PLAYERS: Russell Martin, Rod Barajas, Mike Napoli, Carlos Ruiz, AJ Pierzynski, Miguel Olivo, Yorvit Torrealba, Kelly Shoppach, Gerald Laird
TEAMS: New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Detroit Tigers
TEAMS: New York Yankees, Pittsburgh Pirates, Texas Rangers, Philadelphia Phillies, Chicago White Sox, Seattle Mariners, Milwaukee Brewers, New York Mets, Detroit Tigers
Russell Martin didn't have a season like Rod Barajas had in 2012, but he wasn't exactly elite. The catcher hit for a .211 average and a .713 OPS, which was almost 90 points higher than Barajas. Those numbers don't look like an elite catcher, but that doesn't mean Martin won't be a highly sought after target on the free agent market. In perhaps the biggest sign of how weak the catching market is, Jon Heyman explains how Martin is the top free agent on the catching market. Heyman notes that Mike Napoli is seen as more of a hybrid player who will spend time as the DH and at first base. He also points out that after the options for Brian McCann and Carlos Ruiz were picked up, the market looks thin. Martin and AJ Pierzynski are the top names on the free agent market, although Heyman notes that the White Sox could bring Pierzynski back. He also notes that the Yankees have good depth at the position, but could bring Martin back to be their starter. If not, he mentions the Pirates, Mariners, and Rangers as teams who are in need of a catcher and could spend. After Martin, the list of catching options isn't that appealing. David Ross seems to be the next best name, even though he's strictly a backup. Ross had 196 plate appearances last year and played in 62 games. Both were his highest marks since 2007. After Ross there's guys like Miguel Olivo, Yorvit Torrealba, Kelly Shoppach, Gerald Laird, and Barajas. None of those guys are prime candidates to be starters. Martin made $7.5 M last year with the Yankees. Considering the lack of talent on the market this year, he could be looking at something similar for 2013. If the Yankees want him back, they'll probably get him, which means the already thin market would only get worse.

New scheme helps young people scoot into the world of work
8:00am Wednesday 21st May 2014 in News By Ellis Butcher, Reporter
YOUNG people living in rural areas and struggling to to school, college or their place of work are being offered help.
Cumbrian company Inspira, which has a base at Kendal College, is running a programme to bridge the rural transport gap.
It has made five Honda Vision 50cc mopeds available to those aged 16 and over for a six-month loan.
The innovative programme, called Kendal Wheels 2 Work, has been made possible by Children In Need money. Inspira is a leading personal development and career guidance organisation, which also has a base at Gillan Way in Penrith.
It says the scheme is a 'lifeline' for many young people.
Asher Hamilton, from Kendal, is considering the programme as a way to find employment outside the town where she lives.
"I think the scheme could help me enormously. I am doing business admin at Kendal College and will be looking for job opportunities very soon. The scooter would help me look for jobs outside Kendal so broadening my opportunities. During the loan period I imagine I will be able to save up enough money to buy a car."
Pete Armitage of Inspira, the local adviser for Wheels2Work agreed.
"The programme is simple yet effective. It would give Asher the opportunity to look at different jobs to help her develop the career she is looking for."
The Children in Need funding enabled Inspira to add 10 new scooters to the programme, bringing the total number of mopeds Cumbria-wide to 27.
The Honda Vision 50 was chosen as they provide up to 146.9 mpg - giving a range of over 177 miles from one tank of fuel.
To be eligible for the scheme people need to have a provisional drivers licence.
- Sky lantern code is welcome - but legislation should be considered if it fails, says MP
- Cyclist seriously hurt in Lakes crash
- Cumbrians urged to get involved in consultation on how to tackle low level crime
- Helping out 'on top of the world'
They are assessed by Inspira to make sure they meet the criteria of the scheme. Then, if they pass the assessment, they need to complete a one-day compulsory basic training and pass the test.
The mopeds are expected to have three-year lifespan, and the organisation is in talks with local councils as well as local community funds.
If you think you could benefit from the scheme, contact Advice Services South Lakes on Facebook, or call at its reception desk at Kendal College, or telephone 0800 435 709.

IHR News
The WHO bulletin on IHR implementation
What's new in IHR coordination and support
Third meeting on Early Warning and Event-Based Surveillance, Lyon, France, 17-19 December 2013
Further to the first two consultations on surveillance that took place in March and November 2013, the objectives of this meeting were to finalize the guidance document on event-based surveillance for early warning; initiate the development of accompanying materials; and identify procedures for validation and implementation of the guidance. Led by the Global Capacities Alert and Response Department, this meeting brought together country experts and representatives from the Americas, the Eastern-Mediterranean, the European, South- East Asian and Western Pacific regions, as well as experts from the WHO chemical and radiation programmes.
Fourteenth Steering Committee Meeting of the Global Outbreak Alert and Response Network (GOARN), Chavannes de Bogis, Switzerland 9-11 December 2013
The 14th Steering Committee of the Global outbreak alert and response network (GOARN) witnessed significant milestones for the Network, including welcoming five new members to the committee and shaping a 5-year strategy and the 2014-15 workplan, in line with the ongoing WHO reform, IHR (2005) objectives, the WHO programme of work for the upcoming biennium and other relevant developments in global health over the course of 2013. The meeting tackled additional priority items that are routinely reviewed by the Committee, including a critical review of recent GOARN activities, GOARN missions in support of WHO for cholera, MERS-CoV and Influenza A/H7N9 in affected countries and the response and recovery support to the Philippines Typhoon Haiyan. The committee also engaged in a detailed discussion with WHO regional advisors from the African, Americas, Eastern- Mediterranean, European, South-East Asian and Western Pacific regions on strengthening regional response capacity and upcoming regional priorities for 2014-15.
Fourth Meeting of the IHR Emergency Committee concerning MERS-CoV, 4 December 2013
The Meeting, convened by the Director-General under the International Health Regulations (2005) was held by teleconference on Wednesday, 4 December 2013. In addition to Members of the Emergency Committee, the teleconference included the participation of two expert advisors as well as a number of affected States Parties – Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar and Spain – reporting recent cases of MERS-CoV. Following the update and assessment of epidemiological and scientific developments provided by the WHO Secretariat, the above affected States Parties presented on recent developments in their countries. After discussion and deliberation on the information provided, it was the unanimous decision of the Committee that the conditions for a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC) have not at present been met. For the full WHO statement on the Fourth Meeting of the IHR Emergency Committee concerning MERS-CoV:
Points of entry: Technical support for the assessment of IHR core capacities Algiers, Algeria, 19-24 October 2013
The assessment team was composed of experts from the Algerian Ministry of Health and WHO Global Capacities Alert and Response monitoring and ports, airports and ground crossings teams. The objectives of the mission were to brief the national authorities on the capacities required for the implementation of International Health Regulations (2005) at points of entry, and assist the national authorities to assess the current status of core capacities related to IHR implementation at designated points of entry. The assessment team provided technical recommendations based on preliminary assessment results, an action plan will be developed accordingly.
Laboratory Quality Manual template now online
The template provides guidance for public health and clinical laboratories on writing policies and procedures that support a laboratory quality management system. It comprises a main document providing information and examples to assist with writing a laboratory quality manual, and 24 appendices (examples of standard operating procedures, forms, and processes). All documents are meant to serve as templates and are thus modifiable: the individual laboratories are required to customize the text to the local situation. The quality manual template is available in English and will soon be available in French.
Laboratory Information Management Systems, Lyon, France, 7-8 October 2013
To support health laboratory services in Member States, the WHO Department of Global Capacities, Alert and Response (GCR) organized a workshop on 7 to 8 October 2013 to define and discuss options for developing laboratory information management systems (LIMS) for public health laboratories in resource-limited settings. Participants comprised 11 temporary advisors representing stakeholders, technical experts and end-users of LIMS, and WHO technical staff from Headquarters and the Regional Offices. Outcomes of the workshop included recommendations to serve as a road map for WHO actions for developing and deploying cost-effective LIMS in resource-limited public health laboratories. These recommendations call on WHO to advocate for LIMS implementation and interoperability as part of the National Health Policies and Strategic Plan; provide guidance to Member States on needs assessment and minimal functional requirements for LIMS; support and promote implementation of standards of interoperability; facilitate training of laboratory professionals and convene regular meetings for stakeholders to facilitate LIMS development and implementation.
Learning on IHR: A new approach
Building on the achievements of the IHR implementation course, the Global Capacities Alert and Response Department (GCR) is now setting up a comprehensive learning approach on "Health Security under the IHR framework" targeting both individual and institutional levels. This approach, supported by technical programmes, tools and materials, aims to: increase the mass of professionals who share a common approach to the interpretation and application of the IHR framework; support countries in taking ownership and institutionalizing learning on IHR issues, and adapting programmes and activities based on their respective national contexts. To support this approach, the GCR Human Resources Development and Training team is working on two parallel projects: updating the IHR training site in a virtual learning environment on "Health Security under the IHR framework". The new site will host information on all existing and future IHR related training / learning courses and activities, different learning web based applications (chat groups, webinars, wikis, etc.) and will made available to WHO partners worldwide. The new site will be released during the first quarter of 2014. The second project to support learning on IHR is a multi-purpose IHR training toolkit, developed in collaboration with the GCR Field Epidemiology, Surveillance and Networks and with the contributions of the six WHO regions. The scope and content of this toolkit has been broadened so that it may be used by institutions and organizations from different sectors (i.e. health, food and agriculture, transport, travel and trade, education, defense) to enhance the capacities of professionals working in these areas.
Learning programme on ship sanitation certification
The Global Capacities Alert and Response Department (GCR) teams on Ports, Airports and Ground Crossings and Human Resources Development and Training have developed a blended learning programme to support the learning needs of port health inspectors on the issuance of ship sanitation certificates under the IHR 2005. This programme is now accessible on the IHR training site in English, Portuguese and Spanish; the eLearning component is also available in Arabic, French and Russian.

We liked the picture quality-to-performance propositions of Vizio's 1080p resolution M-Series and E-Series TVs last year, which bodes well for the new 4K-resolution P-Series.
Pricing not available
Despite needing a few improvements, the Sony Xperia P is one of the better handsets from Sony this year. Unfortunately, that's not saying a lot.
The Sony Tablet P's clamshell design makes it very convenient, but its expensive price and the awkward implementation of its dual screens make for an undesirable tablet experience.
Give your smartphone a break, especially on long trips, and let a dedicated device do the navigating.
Although the Ascend P7 is certainly skinny and not too expensive, its unimpressive power and sometimes awkward interface makes it an acceptable -- albeit uninspiring choice. If you can find the P7 on a subsidised contract at a good price then it's worth a look, but some of last year's flagships could be a better choice for the same money.
Sporting a brilliant 2,560x1,600-pixel display, the 10.1-inch tablet makes its first appearance outside of Japan.
Pricing not available
The Pioneer AppRadio 3 is significantly improved over the previous generation and one of the best choices for drivers wanting safe access to smartphone apps while on the road.
Sony's too-expensive, designer, ultramobile PC seems out of touch with today's more-affordable and usable smartphone, tablet, and Netbook offerings, with a package that doesn't best any of the competition.
Pricing not available
The Nikon Coolpix P600 isn't the quickest camera, but that might be a small price to pay for having such a long lens on a relatively compact, lightweight camera.
The Acer Aspire X1920-UR20P is a poorly configured, overpriced budget desktop with little to recommend it. Look instead to Acer's Gateway subsidiary for better slim-tower options.
