The NBA Preseason: Where Lester Hudson game-winners happen
Nice to see former Celtic Lester Hudson making the best out of his opportunity in Washington. Even though Hudson had two turnovers in the game (to go along with 5 points and 1 rebound, in 8 minutes), a game-winning three-pointer's not a bad way to start the season. Hudson was one of 11 Wizards to see action in the game, which could mean he has an inside track at making the regular season roster. One player who didn't see action? Adam Morrison. As a wise man once said, some things don't never change.
In other news out of Wizards camp, Gilbert Arenas wants out of Washington and seems kind of depressed by John Wall's arrival in town. According to ESPN's Marc Stein, Arenas said he had no emotions because ""I lost all feeling a long time ago." Arenas also "spoke of a new role that, in his view, demands him to 'hit open shots, teach John [Wall] the ins and outs of the game and then eventually go on and move on and I'm on my way."
"Right now the city is John's," Arenas said. "I'm not here to fight anybody. I'm here to just play alongside him. He's Batman and I'm Robin. When I came in, Larry [Hughes] moved aside for me to become a star and I'm moving aside so [Wall] can become a star. Let him fly and I'll just fill in the gaps. When I came to Washington, that's what Larry did for me and that's what I'm doing for him."
Sorry, I'd finish the rest of this story but I can't stop laughing. Larry Hughes moving aside so somebody can become a star. Ha!

Editor says, in this post we vary an original idea from Robbie Taylor that Adolf Hitler was a modern-day rabble-rouser in a still-surviving Roman Empire (instead we imagine him a Fall of Empire war lord). Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not reflect those of the author.
In 2696 AUC Adolfus (pictured) the Legatus Legionis of Germania issued orders to mount a defence of the Roman Republic along the Italian peninsula, in order to slow the Celtic advance up through Italy.
This operation codenamed Alaric (after Alaric I king of Visigoths, the Barbarian general in the Roman army who sacked Rome in 1223, AUC) was considered so top secret that Adolfus refused to issue a written order. Instead, he communicated verbally his desire that Tribunus laticlavius Erwinius should assemble and ultimately command eleven cohorts of heavy infantry for the occupation of Italy to prevent an Celt foothold in the peninsula. Alolfus also gave Erwinius the false impression that his reward would be the appointment of Legatus Legionis in Italy.
Adolfus orders the invasion of ItalyThe Home Legions reacted negatively, as could be expected. Erwinius had no patience for the indigenous Romans, rightly predicting that the Italians were preparing to surrender to the Celtic invaders. He was given orders, codename Axis, giving him permission to seize Roman defenses.
Yet Tribunus laticlavius Albertus soon became a serious rival to Erwinius, organising a superior defensive mechanism at Monte Cassino that would be rewarded with his appointment as Legatus Legionis in Italy. This command decision infuritated Erwinius, who promply assassinated Adolfus at his military camp in the Teutoberg Forest on Dies Martis vii Julius MCMXLIII.

Editor says, in this post we pursue an original idea from Robbie Taylor that Adolf Hitler was a modern-day rabble-rouser in a still-surviving Roman Empire (instead we imagine him a Fall of Empire war lord). In this continuation post, as in OTL, Charles de Gaulle seeks to build a new France. We're acknowledge the contributions from our value colleagues David Atwell and Eric Oppen - thank you chaps! Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not reflect those of the authors.
In 2697 AUC this day marked the coronation of the first Holy Roman Emperor at Lutetia.
In so doing, Charlemagne (pictured) the former Legatus Legionis of Gaul proclaimed the titular successor to the former Western Roman Empire under the principle of translatio imperii, the transfer of rule linking divine history to worldly power.
Because "le Grand Charles" sought to establish a new union of territories in Western and Central Europe as a successor state following the fall of Rome.
And yet the unexpected opportunity to strike out in a new direction had arisen almost by accident, as a result of a power vacuum that had developed in the last days of the Empire. Because during the Celt conquest of the Italian peninsula, Charlemagne had forged a short-lived alliance with Adolfus, the Legatus Legionis of Germania.
Charlemagne proclaims a Holy Roman EmpireHowever a command dispute had infuritated Tribunus laticlavius Erwinius who promptly assassinated Adolfus at his military camp in the Teutoberg Forest on Dies Martis vii Julius MCMXLIII.
"Une certain ideè de la Gaul" (a certain idea [of greatness] for Gaul) ~ CharlemagneIt was by no means certain that the warlike Celts would accept Charlemagne's self-appointed status as the "August Emperor of the Romans" (Romanorum Imperator Augustus), styled as "most serene Augustus, crowned by God, great and pacific emperor, governing the Roman Empire".
And in fact both Erwinius and Albertus were holding their noses too, having taken the expediate decision to form a popular front against the hated Celts. The former Roman generals rightly suspected that Charlemagne's commitment to a Catholic satrapy was simply a fig-leaf for "une certain ideè de la Gaul" (a certain idea [of greatness] for Gaul). And the seeds of that ideè had been sown by Charlemagne's own countryman, the greatest Roman general of the modern era - Napoleone di Bonaparte.

Editor says, Lutèce was the precursor name to Paris,as Gaul was to France. The characters of Albertus and Erwinius represent the Nazi Generals Albert Kesselring and Erwin Rommel respectively,with reference to the Valkyrie Conspiracy.

Editor says, in this post we further explore Robbie Taylor's alternative Roman Empire surviving (but only just) into the twenty-century as "the sick old man of Europe". Please note that the opinions expressed in this post do not reflect those of the author.
In 2688 AUC the Ethiopian City of Addis Ababa fell to the East African Roman forces of the Legatus Legionis Badoglio.
Government ReshuffleEmperor Haille Selassie had fled the country three days before, clearing the way for the Ethiopian Empire to be formally annexed on May 7. Then on May 9, Caesar Emmanuel III was proclaimed Emperor of Ethiopia (the countries of Eritrea, Ethiopia, and Somaliland being merged into a single colony known as Roman East Africa (Africa Orientale Roma, or AOR).
Rome would taste a rare military success that had been conspiciously absent in recent years; "Emperor! Emperor! Salute the Emperor!" ("Imperatore! Imperatore! Salute Imperatore!") chanted the crowd when the Caesar, in full military uniform, showed himself on the balcony in the Palazzo Venezia.
Whilst Caesar maintained a dignified silence, General Mussolini unwisely did not, acting in what some might describe as a more flamboyant Latin manner (pictured top left) bordering on self-congratulatory exuberance. So when victory was announced by the General the Roman population reacted with jubilant abandon.
"People of Rome, people of the world, peace has been restored".From the balcony, the General proclaimed: "During the thirty centuries of our history, Rome has known many solemn and memorable moments -- this is unquestionably one of the most solemn, the most memorable. People of Rome, people of the world, peace has been restored". The crowds would not let him go - ten times they recalled the General to the balcony and cheered and waved while the boys of youth organizations sang the newly composed "Hymn of the Empire" (Inno dell'impero).
Caesar was less impressed with the General's victory, achieved frankly through the use of overwhelming force and also the cowardly use of mustard gas. Now observing some potential for confusion over who was actually "Il Duce" (the Leader), Caesar ordered that the General and his mistress, Clara Petacci were to be crucified and then hung upside down in the Palazzo Venezia (pictured right).
Whilst the remainder of the Romans were rejoicing, Haile Selassie was constructing a memorable letter of protest to stir up the Celts who would soon wage war with the Romans ~ "We have decided to bring to an end the most unequal, most unjust, most barbarous war of our age, and have chosen the road to exile in order that our people will not be exterminated and in order to consecrate ourselves wholly and in peace to the preservation of our empire's independence ... we now demand that [the Celtic allies] should decide not to recognize territorial extensions, or the exercise of an assumed sovereignty".

Use an old cast iron pot as the lid (like the rings in an old wood cookstove) when you aren't cooking. The idea is for it to be a summer option for a wood cookstove in a house/cabin (vs. a normal wood cookstove), but it seems perfect for a tiny house.

This is a good question which I would like to know the answer to!
Staff here currently have read/write access which I am not happy about as staff could possibly be using this to modify student coursework and possible inadvertently delete work amongst other things.
Spoken to a few colleagues here and they all allow read access only and thats how it has been at their schools. I also want to change staff access to read only here but need something to help me deal with the fallout once it has been implemented as there will be plenty of that!
Is dealing with this problem a matter of individual opinion of the school or is there something like a formal document out there that can tell me what access staff should have?
Please HELP!
This is a good question which I would like to know the answer to!
Do you have an AUP in place which dictates that this access is required?
Personally we don't allow it here for the reasons you outlined.
The idea of teachers having even read access makes me shudder.
I do remember one incident, where a certain senior teacher kicked up enough of a fuss that I was ordered to give them access to all student's work. As a result, one sixth former had their entire art photography portfolio deleted. That would've been their coursework.
Similarly we lost two media student's videos, and almost an entire year's worth of music coursework.
Needless to say the status quo was quickly restored and the only people permitted to have access to student files were the IT technical staff. If teachers had specific concerns, they came through us and brought a member of SLT.
I always maintained the position that it was similar to searching a student's bag or locker, and should not be taken lightly.
Hi AngryITGuy,
I dare say there could be some guidance from BECTA, if you look hard enough! Until I got here, there was no access to student areas at all. We were forever being asked to extract over-due work etc from student areas for teachers. I set up a p: drive (they used to be called pupils!) for all staff that has read only access to the student directory structure. I wouldn't dream of giving anything further for fear of the [potentially disastrous] consequences!
All the best,
We allow read only access to the staff for the pupils My Documents, but certainly not write access.
There are a number of laws which you could cite for this, such as the Computer Misuse Act and the Data Protection Act. I'm sure the exam boards wouldn't be too happy either if staff had open access to alter students work.
Thanks for the replies, there have been some interesting comments submitted here.
@kmount we do have a AUP but it doesn't state anything about access to student data, may need an update me thinks.
@jamesb interesting you compare it to searching a students bag/locker. Didn't actually see it from that point of view. I suppose to some extent the students do need their privacy.
@rj_mayer tried the BECTA site but didn't find anything helpfull, will need to look a little harder.
Didn't realise it was going to open such a can of worms, but there are clearly issues here with privacy and data protection that I didn't even consider.
Just not sure how staff would react if access was removed totally!
I think read only is fair enough. In terms of privacy our AUP says that we can look in their documents areas etc. I think staff are professional enough to do it when needed though.
We give READ ONLY access to the staff. But for the most part they use the VLP now.
I have a clause in the AUP which states that the staff have read only access which for legal reasons they cant have more (Computer misuse act and Data protection). It put them firmly in there place and they deal with it. Before they have full access. I put a stop to that as soon as I found out.
To answer your question. No, teaching staff are NOT allowed full access to student directories. And that's straight from an OFSTED inspector's mouth.
Having said that, the RM (CC3) system is setup to give staff full access to student accounts if they become 'Delegates'. Naughty...very naughty. But I imagine that this was written before the no-fullaccess rule came into force.
We have just had this issue raised here.
Just wanted to know if there is a defined answer on the matter or is it differant from school to school?
Health & Saftey Exec - H&S Myths, and TUC - H&S Looking at the truth behind the headlines)
I'm not sure that this is something you should get too upset over. Certainly, if you cut of access and say it's because you think that staff may interfere with coursework is going to give you massive headaches and, quite frankly, you're probably not paid enough to have to put up with that. You're basically insulting their professionalism. It's like saying to a doctor he can't have access to drugs incase he maliciously kills someone - yes, we all know it has happened, but it doesn't mean that all doctors are murderers.
I'd email someone in the SMT and explain the situation, outlining the risks. You could stick some more techie reasons in there too e.g. Having lots of read access directories means that any virus that gets into the network can spread itself extremely quickly. Do it in a very rounded 'just explaining the situation' kind of a way.
If they say yes, then you do it, citing that they've asked you to. Any teacher got a problem with that say "yes, I see your point. Ask the head - just followin' orders gov'ner"
If they say no, then you're not to blame when it all goes pear shaped.

Not only that but to a point students should be able to have a little privacy in their areas. There's no rule that they can't keep, say, a diary or their own personal writing in their area. In cases where a student's suspected of abusing that privacy then fine, remove it, but in most cases its not going to do any harm and providing that sort of access is just an extension of the Big Brother system that's spreading far too quickly for my liking.

During my morning glance at the paper I noticed an article in the Business section about a local firm, Monsanto. The headline read: "Monsanto agrees to fines over bribes in Indonesia." The company has admitted to making more than 700,000 in "illicit payments to Indonesian government officials." It will pay a fine of 1.5 million to the U.S., which brought the charges against Monsanto through its Department of Justice, and the Securities and Exchange Commission.
According to the newspaper, the SEC claims that Indonesian affiliates of Monsanto, apparently with the company's acquiescence, created false, imaginary companies, which then billed the company for phony product registration fees and funneled the money — the 700,000 referred to above — to "at least 140 current and former Indonesian government officials and their family members." The wife of an official of the Indonesian Ministry of Agriculture received more than 370,000 to buy land, build a house, and buy various luxuries. That leaves 330,000 to be divided among the remaining 139 (or more) beneficiaries of this scheme: about 2400 apiece, on average. Indonesian officials come cheap!
But they weren't complaining. Monsanto wasn't complaining. Who complained? Well, the Justice Department, claiming its affronted sensibilities could only be assuaged by a million dollar fine, and the SEC, which settled for half that much. And what have Monsanto's dealings with corrupt Indonesian officials got to do with the DOJ and SEC? Well, friends, it's BRIBERY!!!! Nasty, illicit, bribery!! The dictionary defines that term: "something that serves to induce or influence." We can't have Americans firms tending to induce or influence foreigners with money!
Well sure, except that bribery seems to be a rather slippery concept. For example, drug companies regularly sponsor junkets for Congressmen, but those, I guess, are educational experiences, not intended to influence the lawmakers. Congressmen themselves promise their constituents all sorts of benefits in return for their votes, but that, of course, is democracy in action, not bribery. Are the people in the approximately one hundred countries where American troops are stationed delighted with that situation? Maybe, maybe not. But their governments consent to it, perhaps because of the millions upon millions paid to them in one form or another. That's not bribery, though; it's making the world safe for democracy.
It's interesting to see how the U.S. accomplishes its purposes, or tries to, in Indonesia. Bribery? Never! Of course not! But, of course, there have to be expenses, if our rulers are going to further the development or the Indonesian economy, promote good government, help educate children, liberate women, etc. Between 1982 and 1986, the U.S. provided 199 million in food assistance to Indonesia. It also provided 333 million in development assistance, and 172 million in military aid. In 1998, the last year for which I found data, the direct U.S. aid to Indonesia was about 44 million.
Why? Let's listen to J. Brian Atwood, an administrator of the U.S. Agency for International Development: "In many respects, (the foreign aid budget) is a bare-boned — and balanced approach that will significantly contribute to achieving the administration's foreign policy objectives." Doesn't that sound very much like bribery? It isn't immediately clear — at least to me — why the U.S. should have "foreign policy objectives" involving Indonesia, but spending millions to achieve them suggests that, in the absence of that largesse, they wouldn't be achieved. Which, in turn, means that the money was given to induce or influence Indonesian policy-makers. That, by the definition given above, is a bribe.
In the case of Monsanto, did the bribes work? I don't know. Maybe Monsanto considered them an acceptable cost of doing business. Obviously, however, if the company's sales in Indonesia did not warrant the expenses required to achieve them, it would have pulled out of that market. How about the bribes — er, foreign policy objective expenses — offered by the U.S.? Well, while accepting 44 million in direct U.S. aid, Indonesia voted against the U.S. 68% of the time in the U.N.
OK, maybe that was a fluke. Surely our rulers wouldn't bribe — er, contribute to the economic development of foreign countries — if those countries did not share the U.S.'s objectives! That would be madness. So let's see: in 1998, Egypt was the No. 2 recipient of U.S. aid: over two billion dollars. It voted against the U.S. in the UN 66% of the time. Jordan, No. 4 with 193 million, voted against the U.S. 67% of the time. Peru — No 7, with 116 million — cast 59% anti-U.S. votes. The percentage was 61% for Ethiopia, ranked 8 in aid received, at 114 million.
So let's see if I have this straight: Monsanto spread an embarrassingly paltry 700,000 among local Indonesian politicians to further its sales in that country. This so enraged the U.S. government that it bribed Monsanto into giving it over twice as much — 1.5 million — to avoid horrendous litigation and additional fines. Remember: Monsanto's offense was illicit payments. The U.S. would never do anything illicit — especially since it is the arbiter of what is, and what isn't, illicit.
On the other hand, to influence the policies of foreign governments, the U.S. spends many billions every year. And most of the countries receiving most of the money thumb their noses at the U.S. when voting at the United Nations. So not only does the U.S. practice bribery — let's dispense with the euphemisms — on a gigantic scale, it does so surpassingly stupidly, with the recipients of its bribes taking positions in opposition to those of the U.S. One suspects that the stated purposes of the aid may have little to do with the actual purposes — as is often the case in government programs — but of course, we'll never know that with certainty.
The dictionary defines "govern" as "to limit, regulate, or control." So government is limitation, regulation, and control — of others, of course! Let's add another synonym: "corruption." And how about "stupidity" and "dishonesty" for good measure?

Censorship of Adventure Time in AustraliaComments1k
this wiki
Redirected from Censorship of Adventure Time of Australia
Adventure Time has been heavily censored on Cartoon Network Australia. The censorship of this localization removes various scenes and statements in the show that are deemed inappropriate for young viewers. Although the PAL acceleration (for frame rate issue) might have contributed to the shortened time, most of the censorship has been removed due to sexually suggestive innuendo. This also includes some episode titles that have been renamed due to the censorship.
Incidentally, the Philippines, Indonesia and Malaysia also show this version of Adventure Time, so the censorship might have been performed by Turner Broadcasting System Asia Pacific, the owner of Cartoon Network channels in Asia and Oceania. There are some instances where the closed captions still retain some of the dialogue that was removed.
This censorship does not carry over to other channels as episodes are currently being aired in Australia on GO uncensored. Also, like other series that were originally censored on Cartoon Network Australia, the DVD version of Adventure Time has been released uncensored by Madman Entertainment with a PG rating.
Season 1Edit
Slumber Party PanicEdit
- Main article: Slumber Party Panic
- Princess Bubblegum mentioning that she used to date Mr. Cream Puff was cut out in Australia.
- Shaved time: 3.6 seconds
Trouble in Lumpy SpaceEdit
- Main article: Trouble in Lumpy Space
- At the beginning, when everybody was at the Mallow Tea Party, Finn said, "Princess, this tea party sucks in a big way. But thanks for the invite." After the change the line says, "Princess, this tea party--in a big way! But thanks for the invite."
- "Make Out" from "Make-Out Point" has been blocked out, making it "The Point."
- Any sexual references were cut out of the episode, such as, "L.S.P., you're so bad..."
- The part when Monty says, "Why are you sucking up to us?" was cut.
- The sentence said by Lumpy Space Princess, "I'm really really sorry Finn, but I can't help you, because my parents are horrible idiots!" was edited, leaving, "I'm really really sorry Finn, but I can't help you."
- The other sentence said by Lumpy Space Princess, "My friend Melissa has a car, but she's dating my ex-boyfriend Brad." was edited to, "My friend Melissa has a car."
- This sentence was changed from, "Melissa, you should totally drive us to Make-Out Point, to make out with hot boys." to "Melissa, you should drive us to The Point, to..."
- The sentence was changed from, "Yeah, lumpiness sucks!" to "Yeah, lumpiness."
- The sentence was changed from, "This orb is the antidote, brah." to "This orb is the antidote.", because "brah" sounds like the homophone "bra."
- Finn saying "Slam-a-cow!" was cut out.
- Monty saying "Jam on, man." was changed to "On, man." because the Cartoon Network executives thought "Jam on" meant something sexual.
- Lumpy Space Princess saying "Shucks!" was cut as well.
- Shaved time: 13.9 seconds
Prisoners of LoveEdit
- Main article: Prisoners of Love
- "Sleds are for suckers!" was cut.
- Finn and Jake arguing about the context that "hot" is used in was cut.
- "I try to be such a good husband for girls." was cut.
- Shaved time: 17.5 seconds
Tree TrunksEdit
- Main article: Tree Trunks (episode)
- Tree Trunks mentioning seducing the Brain Beast and Finn talking to her about it were cut in Australia.
- Shaved time: 17.1 seconds
The Enchiridion!Edit
- Main article: The Enchiridion! (episode)
- When Finn kicked the ogre in the groin, the show zoomed into him, in order to not show emphasis on the groin.
- The Heart Beast exploding and blood splattering all over the screen was cut.
- Finn kicking the Dark Magician in the groin was edited, so when Finn's foot struck him, it would cut to a close-up of Finn's head shouting, "NEVER!" and the smoke dissipating after Finn kicked him. The clip of Finn's head was taken from the scene a few seconds later when Finn punches Key-per.
- Mannish referencing Finn's "nard-kicking ability" was edited, so it would possibly say "kicking ability."
- The Adventure Time logo at the end was cut in Australia, likely because of the non-sequitur war sound effects in the background.
- Shaved time: 5 seconds
The JigglerEdit
- Main article: The Jiggler
- Some of the Baby song was edited in Australia, such as "I gotta tuck you in, girl."
- Any scene with the torn picture of the nude woman was zoomed into Finn, Jake and the Jiggler.
- This was done despite the fact that the creators of Adventure Time revealed the supposed nude woman was just wearing a faulty bikini, and it was only pure coincidence that the watercolor was damaged.
- Shaved time: 2.75 seconds
Ricardio the Heart GuyEdit
- Main article: Ricardio the Heart Guy
- The whole scene where Ice King accidentally kisses Jake's butt was cut. However, the scene in which Jake talks to Finn about how he wants Princess Bubblegum to kiss him as the Ice King did with Jake's butt was not cut, making it a rather confusing scene.
- Surprisingly, when "Ricardio the Heart Guy" first aired in Australia, that scene wasn't cut. However, the censors must have recognized the (supposed by them) sexual reference in Jake's butt and quickly "patched up" the episode to make it cleaner.
- The word "patoot" was cut as well.
- Ricardio revealing his plans about ripping out Princess Bubblegum's heart and making out with it was cut.
- Shaved time: 16.5 seconds
My Two Favorite PeopleEdit
- Main article: My Two Favorite People
- Lady Rainicorn only says "Come on my darling" to Jake, instead of the full line, "Come on my darling, wrap your legs around me." when she first wears the translator.
- The scene where Jake says "No, you go ahead and you have fun with my girlfriend!" was changed to "No, you go ahead!"
- Shaved time: approx. 6 seconds.
Memories of Boom Boom MountainEdit
- Main article: Memories of Boom Boom Mountain
- The guy hitting the other guy over the head with a cup at the beginning of the episode was cut.
- "No, it's raunchy and maddening! Oh, all those men and their disgusting, fantastic bodies!" was changed only to "No!" because kids might find that context confusing.
- "...like a cherub with his bottom out." was cut as well.
- Shaved time: 10.7 seconds
- Main article: Wizard (episode)
- At the end when Finn and Jake were listening to the skeleton guy after they went naked, the camera was zoomed more into the skeleton guy, so that no one could see Finn's butt.
- Shaved time: 0 seconds
- Main article: Evicted!
- Marceline's phrase of "I carved it into this tree years ago, before you two rascals started squatting in it." was changed to "I carved it into this tree years ago, before you two started squatting in it."
- Apparently, the edit was choppy and obvious, due to the fact that Marceline's head faced Finn quickly.
- The scene where Marceline appears in the window and scares Finn was cut to after she taps on the window, Finn squints and screams.
- Shaved time: approx. 0.12 seconds
The Witch's GardenEdit
- Main article: The Witch's Garden
- "Which one of you mortals wants to mate with all this?" by Gary was cut.
- All scenes with Jake manipulating his chest while in the man-baby body were cut.
- Shaved time: 5.62 seconds
What is Life?Edit
- Main article: What is Life?
- The captions in the book for different objects were cut out for unknown reasons.
- "And I know just the dumbhole who can give us some." was changed to the sentence "And I know who can give us some."
- The words "private particles" were cut, as it was feared to be a reference to the Ice King's crotch.
- Also, saying "You can mate with robot princesses!" was cut.
- Shaved time: 6.8 seconds
When Wedding Bells ThawEdit
- Main article: When Wedding Bells Thaw

Faux-cus on the Pros: Gina Garner
Faux-cus on the Pros is the series where we talk to other artisans in the field of design. Today, I'm thrilled that we have the chance to speak to Gina Garner, who creates incredible Italian-Renaissance inspired ceramic pieces. Her work has received many accolades, including features in museum collections and magazines such as House Beautiful. She writes a beautiful blog, Art and Alfalfa, that focuses on her wonderful country life, her travels and of course, her hand-painted ceramics. Let's head to Utah to sit in her lovely home, relax and chat a bit.
Gina Garner: I was born in a small fishing village by the Baltic Sea, in East Prussia (Germany). During the war, my mother, sister and I were forced to flee our home and relocate to East Germany. When my father was released from prison camp in Siberia, Russia, we planned our escape to West Germany.
I have painted since I was a small child, influenced by my father, a master woodcarver and watercolorist. I would accompany him on painting expeditions to small farm villages in East Germany. While living in East Germany I was trained as a topographic draftsman. My first job, after escaping to West Germany, was hand painting greeting cards for a German card company.
After immigrating to the United States, I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Utah, focusing on Anthropology, The Applied Arts, Art History, and in particular, the Italian Renaissance. Each year, my husband and I, travel to various regions of the world, bringing back new ideas and many Old World techniques. With the renewed interest in decorative painting finishes, I now devote much of my time teaching workshops at our local college and teaching classes to designers, professional painters and private individuals.
In 2004, I designed a kitchen for a local attorney. When we searched for hand painted tiles they were not available. Those from Europe were too expensive mostly because shipping had become prohibitive. So I decided that I would learn and teach myself how to paint ceramic tiles. It was not that difficult and with a ceramic shop willing to fire my tiles, owning a kiln was not so important.
I have since traveled to Italy, Holland, France and Belgium and I have made it a point to learn and paint ceramics with several fine maiolica (or majolica) painters of Europe. For the past 4 years, I have painted with Professor Nicola Boccini and Maestro Romano Ranieri of Deruta, Italy, one of the major centers of Maiolica production.
My husband Gene and I live in a small artist/farming community of central Utah. After many years of travel to Italy and studying the work of Andrea Palladio and his country villas in the Veneto, Italy, we decided to build an Italian inspired small villa in the middle of an alfalfa field. Here is where we tend our fields and gardens and take care of the many animals that have adopted us. We designed every phase and did a lot of the physical work, such as laying all of the marble and I did all of the wall finishes, including gilding and marbling. Several years ago, a Hollywood film company filmed our house. We were awarded first place in International Design an in addition, an award winning Magazine featured our house in a 13-page spread.
Where do you see ceramic design heading in the future?
We traveled to Deruta, Italy, only a few months ago. Things have changed. No one was visiting Deruta, one of the major centers for hand painted ceramics. Ceramics are expensive and because of their weight, shipping is very expensive. U.S. companies are not importing for those same reasons. The more than 600-year-old ceramic industry of Italy is suffering. Artists are looking for solutions and they are also looking for employment in other industries. I'm afraid, that at least for now, a very old tradition is losing its fine artists.
What are some of your favorite color and/or product combinations you've seen?
I'm no Minimalist. I like living with objects and art which we have acquired from our travels. I love color. Not garish colors. The kind of colors designer John Saladino chooses for his interiors…the lavender that is almost gray and the green that reminds one of the foaming ocean. The charming and warm interiors designed by Charles Faudree hold just about the right amount of exuberance. I like classic designs and I love to mix the humble with the splendid. Too much is not enough has always been my motto.
What are some of the most wonderful materials you've come across?
Italian powder pigments, which I bring back from Italy, provide color and an intensity that is quite remarkable. While taking lessons in Belgium, I was introduced to a product, Peptapon. It is made in Germany and acts as a binder with ceramic powder pigments. It is a product that prevents the smearing of pigment.
What artist would you like to commission to create a work of art for your home?
That's easy. An Italian artist and mural painter who lives in Calistoga, California by the name of Carlo Marchiori.
What one existing book or movie title describes your life?
Actually it is a piece of Music from an opera by Verdi, Nabucco, the Slave Chorus. Not because I see myself as a slave but because the music has just the right amount of highs and lows, which describes my life perfectly.
~ ~ ~
Such an incredible life. Her artistry is sublime, no? Speaking of sublime, I'd also love to commission Carlo Marchiori! Interestingly enough, I found out via Art's the Answer that the architects who designed Carlo Marchiori's Ca'Toga also designed Gina's home. Very nice! Gina does have a wonderful, refined and warm way about her — it truly reflects in her colorful work and in the blog posts she writes. She also sells her work via eBay and her Etsy shop, Maiolica, and explains that, "I have found a niche for a product that has not been imported in the last few years. There are only a handful of tile companies who will import special orders". Every year, her town of Spring City, Utah is "open" to the public and they have several fine artists living in the small community with visitors coming from far and wide to purchase art. Sounds like an amazing way to live life! Thank you, Gina, for sharing your life and artistry with us. Have a wonderful day, everyone!

I think this game is a great Renting game. It has a good story, some fun Free-running sections (though it takes some getting used to) and a good combat system. It is also rather short, but since this game is the prequel to the movie it is understandably so. The Light Cycle bits actually really disap...more

We tell dream stories.
Our intention is to make you believe that you can achieve your dreams too. It is our sincerest wish — through the sharing of our personal experiences — that we will inspire you to pursue your big dream.
Even if you are sick, overweight, over age 55, under age 21, married, divorced, rich, without a high school diploma, unemployed, or striving to make your next meal – you can – because many dreamers started where you are.
Each day one of the eight women writers featured on this blog offer dream stories through compelling advice, humor or research to help you dream big. Sometimes guest bloggers like to share an inspiring dream story. Each dreamer typically shares their dream story once a week for a year and then moves on to live her dream. Some dreamers have stayed longer because they love writing about living their dreams.
Our contact information is on our Contact Us Page.
We are looking for your dreams! Would you like to tell us about them? Be a guest blogger or contact us if you would like to tell your dream story for a year on 8 Women Dream.
BIG DREAM: Launching your dream.
If you are interested in spending at least a year writing about your big dream for 8WomenDream.com, you've come to the right page.
8 Women Dream covers individual dream stories, online success and living your passion. Our readership is culturally savvy, mainly women ages 20-70 who are looking for their life-purpose, happiness and changing their life direction. Our mission is to challenge women (men too) to go after their big dream, live their passion and share that passion with the world around them in order to make this world a happier place.
Please look over our writing guidelines here. We welcome new bloggers, but obviously prefer to bring aboard a dreamer with previous writing experience, who isn't bothered by editing and feedback.
To pitch yourself to be the 8th dreamer, contact us here.
Read more about writing for 8 Women Dream here.
BIG DREAM: Make 8 Women Dream one of the premiere blogs on the Internet encouraging women from all walks of life (and all over the world) to go after their dreams. She would ultimately like to see 8 Women Dream featured by Oprah in some way (because it's hard keeping up with Oprah) or appear on Ellen for achieving some amazing dreams.
I have a belief that if we help other people acquire their fondest dreams, then our own dreams come true in the process. Five years ago I had the knock me over the head idea to form a group with seven other women with the sole purpose of helping each other achieve a monumental dream and teach the world to do the same in the process. In Sept. 2008 I formed this group to help the world achieve their dreams.
I am first known for my once popular mom blog, A Week In The Life of A Redhead that I started back in 2003. Sometimes I still manage to find time to work on that site project. One of my big dreams came true in that I am now a freelance writer, author, copywriter, content development authority, and professional blogger who speaks regularly to groups about dreaming big dreams and how to utilize the Internet to achieve them. I became a member of Toastmasters and found a world of lovely people who like to listen to other people talk. Wow. Who knew. My dream story post day is Sunday evening.

So here's the scoop – I'm over 40, married, and have a wonderful son from my previous marriage who is already in college. Two cats fill the house with lots of fur and fun. I love managing several creative ventures at one time. I was deeply unhappy in my business so I decided to start walking, which turned into running and now I am a triathlete. I'm sharing my fitness journey with you in the hopes that you will join me. I want to teach you how to change your life through making just a few small adjustments to your daily habits and how you exercise.
My dream story post day is Monday. I am a product marketing expert; a keynote speaker, and I am constant training to compete in triathlons after losing over 100 pounds. You have to be brave to put on a wet suit in public.

BIG DREAM: To help women around the world say, "I am beautiful!" Through a unique therapeutic process she's spent nearly a decade perfecting, she helps woman and girls undo the damage of negative self-image and unrealistic expectations. Part of that dream includes teaching a new generation of photographers how to pursue their dreams and help women in the process.
I taught myself lighting and posing when I was 80 pounds heavier. So when women say, "I can never be that beautiful." I can firmly tell them otherwise. I learned that the human eye, heart and mind work together to show us how beautiful we are in a sophisticated way that a camera can never capture. Clients constantly tell me that having positive photos of themselves has changed their outlook. My work has been featured in television, print and online worldwide.

BIG DREAM: Make the pages of the atlas real as she travels the world; take her travel writing, photography and blogging to new heights of success and encourage women to get out there and travel!
Adding ANOTHER red-head to the 8WD family, I grew up in New Zealand and have lived in the United Kingdom and now Australia. Seriously bitten by the travel bug when I left New Zealand at the age of 25, travel has been a large focus of my life ever since. At first I traveled alone and with friends, now I travel whenever possible with my husband and daughter (who has visited 13 countries already in her nearly four years).
For 3 years I was the editor of London-based travel website Travelbite.co.uk but last year I became a freelance writer, editor and blogger, specializing in travel but also writing web content across a variety of subjects.
When I'm not traveling or caring for my family I'm a snap happy photographer and an arts and literature fiend. When time permits I can also be found at my local yoga studio or rock climbing gym. I love the great outdoors, especially when rock climbing, hiking or mountaineering, although sometimes I get more enjoyment out of physically challenging activities retrospectively!
My dream story post day is Saturday. I want to share my travel dreams and how to make them come true, as well as discussing the world of travel writing and blogging.
For 8WD travel sponsorship pitches email: natasha(at)8womendream.com

Primarily an entrepreneur and creative media designer by profession, I am also the owner of the blog, "Just Pursue It," a motivational blog that empowers woman and girls on a global level.

Past Dreamers and Big Dream Guest Writers
To find these dreamer's archived posts, go to the dream big guest contributor page on 8WD.
Maria Vieages
Maria joined 8 Women Dream for a year to launch her Real Maria platform on Facebook and her website of the same name. Maria's dream was to expose the world to the realities of being a chef — the hardships and the joys, as well as what it is like to cook for the general public. Maria shared her Hurricane Katrina survival story and how it permanently changed her life. She currently teaches at-risk youth how to cook while running her private chef business in the Sonoma County wine country.
Jayne Speich
Jayne spent a year exploring the financial meltdown and sharing on 8 Women Dream how it impacted her life. Her original dream was to change her relationship to money, but the longer she explored her dream to more she began to ponder if she could live sustainably and change the way she used her money and time for food. She explored the things about the financial crisis that disturbed her and her perceptions on how the world views money. She is now working the freelancer's life.
Remy Gervais
Remy came to 8 Women Dream looking to recover her passion for photography and along the way shared countless images that have grown to be visitor favorites over the years. One of her photography posts became one of the most viewed posts of all time on 8 Women Dream. While finding her dream, Remy also brought together Northern California photographers to create one of the largest Meetup groups for photographers on the West Coast. She is still a photography dreamer, but is on a hiatus from 8 Women Dream while she obtains her insurance license. The sound of Remy's laughter can make your day.
Shellie Croft
Shellie came to 8WD to spend a year sharing her stories of hope and her truth that the American Dream of owning a home and having a loving family is still very much alive and thriving in the world. She shared her love of cooking, life on a vineyard, and the joys of homeschooling her two children while writing on 8WD. To Shellie, every day spent on this earth is a day spent living your dreams. She is working on launching her own website, and as soon as it gets going we will reference it here. Shellie is proof that with love, all things are possible.
Katie Eigel
Katie's original dream was to live the travel adventurer's life. Within her year of dreaming she moved from Chicago to Arizona — a state she had never been to before, hiked the Grand Canyon, skied in Montana, traveled to Alaska, partied in Las Vegas, and explored the small wine region that surrounded her home in Arizona. It was through these short weekend winery trips that she discovered how much she loves wine and the business of selling it. She then began to plan her dream trip to explore the wineries of northern California. Her plan was to travel in an RV through the wine country and blog about her trip as a way to end her big dream. A funny thing happened while planning her wine trip . . . she was hired by famous TED speaker and Wine TV guru, Gary Vaynerchuk. Suddenly she had to relocate to New York. Her dream life fell right into her lap. She now has to focus her time on her new adventure. We think she is one successful dreamer and we will miss her so very much here on 8 Women Dream. She is proof that if you put it out there, your dreams will come true.
Andrea Teggart
Andi's dream was to graduate from college, land her dream job, relocate to someplace she had never lived before, launch her own blog, and become a motivational life coach. She completed all her dreams 2011 on 8WD after 15 months living her dreams — with the exception of the life coach dream she is still working on. Due to her hectic life she rotated off 8 Women Dream in March of 2012. You can now find her on her adorable blog, Polish My Crown.
Rayne Wolfe
Rayne's dream was to write her first book Confessions of an Undutiful Daughter by the end of 2011. She completed her dream journey in 2011 on 8WD after a year living her dream. You can now find her at Toxic Mom Toolkit on Facebook. She has since published her best-selling novel on Toxic Mothers and you can find it on Amazon, here.
Laurie Allen
Laurie always has several amazing dreams going on in her life at this time. She rotated off 8WD in 2010 to work full-time on Club B and her NIA dance studio.
Toni Schram
Toni placed her dream to get her screenplay, "Divine Intervention" and reality show, "The Bitter Bus" produced on hold while she works on Club B. Toni rotated off 8WD in 2010 to work on Club B full-time.
Wendy Brayton
Wendy's dream is still to become a influential, international artist, but she rotated off 8WD in 2010 to complete grad school. You can still see her amazing paintings at Braytonart.com.
Kim Aikawa
Kim accomplished her big dream by traveling to New York with her teenage daughter June of 2009. She lost 20 pounds and overcame her intense dislike (do we say fear?) of flying to accomplish that dream. She rotated off 8 Women Dream as a successful dreamer.
Dawnda Schaefer
Dawnda's dream of being a published horror writer were put on hold when she started her mobile restaurant business in 2010 and went back to school full-time.
Veronica Jacobsen
Veronica rotated off 8 Women Dream in 2010 after successfully completing 2 dreams in a year.
Danelle Jacobs

If failure has the strength to turn your life into bitterness itself, then patience has the strength to turn your life into the sweetest joy. Do not surrender to fate after a single failure. Failure, at most, precedes success.Sri Chinmoy
There are many kinds of smiles, each having a distinct character. Some announce goodness and sweetness, others betray sarcasm, bitterness and pride; some soften the countenance by their languishing tenderness, others brighten by their spiritual vivacity.Johann Kaspar Lavater
He had never disagreed with anyone in his life, no matter how unfairly they may have treated him. He preferred to swallow his tears, suppress his anger and bitterness; he would bear anything rather than oppose a person directly. Nor did it ever occur to him to wonder whether this forbearance might not be harmful to others.Li Yaotang
We say those who suffered here ... your suffering is not in vain. We assure you that we, the children of the world, will learn new lessons. We will define the future, not hatred, not bitterness, not alienation. But joy (and) happiness.Andrew Young

Never succumb to the temptation of bitterness.Martin Luther King Jr
An angry woman is vindictive beyond measure, and hesitates at nothing in her bitterness.Jean-Antoine Petit-Senn

Off the beaten path. Can be a good thing and could end up wishing for more. In this case we loved it. Great room that was very clean. Quiet and peaceful. Beautiful view from a very comfortable spa tub. We asked one of the maids (hate to use that term) about an ice machine and and she dropped what she was doing and RAN to get a bucket of ice for us. Will keep this one on the radar.
Wish I knew the "maid's" name. She was one of those people that went beyond a simple request. To run to get a bucket of ice, seriously, what a sweetheart. About your pictures of the rooms. It's a rare occasion when the pictures don't do the room justice. Kudos to you. Didn't have dinner that night but that's what I think will bring us back. Thanks for a wonderful stay.

Closeness to the ocean. Then privacy! The wood burning fireplace. It was beautiful and the town was awesome! We are planning on going back!

The view
|Apr 01, 2014 Monique Torres California, United States
The service was good. The innkeeper was welcoming. We had a lot of privacy since we had the whole building (tower) to ourselves. Could be nice for honeymooners. Beautiful view.
The facilities were somewhat run down. Some of the furniture smelled bad too - needed cleaning. I would never pay full price for this place.

I was recently joking that when I'm forced to wake up very early in the morning I'm not sure if I should feel sorrier for myself, or for the people around me. So when my friend Jean-Louis, who works with the people who make Comté cheese finally gave in to my incessant pestering to join him for a visit, I was excited when after three years, he finally said "Oui". Actually, he speaks very good English. So he said "Yes".

Improved Lemon Curd
Did you know that there is no such a thing as a Meyer lemon anymore? Well, at least not as we know them. Officially, they haven't existed for about fifty years, when a virus attacked the Meyer lemon trees and they were banned in the United States.
Then in 1975, a new, "Improved" Meyer lemon tree was released that was virus-free, and people began planting them in backyards in America. And in Paris apartments, too. (More on that, later…)
Some think that the now-extinct Meyer lemons, and the new, Improved Meyer lemons, are a hybrid between oranges and lemons. But I've been told by my produce guru that no one is certain as to what the heck they are, exactly.
