Sheffy Bleier is an Israeli artist based in Jerusalem and she is best known for her use of animal organs in her artistic creations. Bleier is not unique as a "meat artist" however her use of the internal organs differentiates her from those artists who use cut and processed meat to evoke, quite literally, a visceral reaction.
Bleier's interest in viscera came about during a visit to the local market where she found herself transfixed by a cow's stomach (not that she knew what it was at the time). The impact this had upon her made her realize the link which is instinctively created not by what you see, but by your spirit and soul. The internal organs may be hidden but here is a deep seated connection – they are an essential part of life, without which nothing exists.
Bleier started her artistic mission to present the inner beauty of the body to our naked eyes. In her words, "To lend new form, content and place to things which, for me, touch upon philosophical 'truth'."
Bleier's exhibits dangle from string in mute testimony to some unknown purpose which they served inside the animal (typically cow). The Organ Garden is guaranteed to make any man wince once the spherical objects suspended in a sac are identified; however it is not simply genitalia which Bleier uses.
The reference to life, particularly our use of living things used for our own sustenance is replete within her body of work. Bleier's work takes us on a discovery of the "hidden"; the inner workings of the body in a way which Gunther von Hagen's, "Bodyworks evades. Von Hagen's commercially celebrated art exhibition featuring human skeletons and preserved organs in a variety of everyday situations from playing poker to making love, somehow miss the point. Von Hagen cosmeticizes and belittles the inner body for commercial titillation, whereas Bleier presents the raw, unadulterated organ which makes the onlooker think for the function.
The organs are naked but they are not raw meat, which is without any shape or form until the artist works it. Organs are already formed, which reduces the fear of that without shape, the so called "horror of the formless". Instead, the unfamiliar forms provide the element of mystery and compel the observer to question not only what the organ function is, or how it performs its role, but to think of the beauty of something which is so alien and yet so intrinsically a part of us at the same time.
Bleier's naked organs repel the observer, evocative of the "gizzards" concealed by our beautiful bodies and generally assigned to the medical waste bin of the slaughterhouse or butcher's stall. In some instances, the organs presented do not appear to be fit for cat foods, but this belies the point – these organs serve a vital purpose in life.
Bleier plays with the concept of the exposing the concealed or the hidden; by turning some of the organs, such as the stomach, inside out the truly hidden interior of the unseen is itself exposed to the light.

"I received many positive comments from recipients. They all mentioned how cute the card was. I would order it again. The cards arrived in good condition and in a timely manner."
"This card is so perfect and dainty. I bought it as a baby gift for a friend. It is great for a baby girl or a big girl! I used an all lowercase font to make it more juvenile and informal. The quality of the paper is better than I expected."
"This card is so cute, I bought it to use as thank you cards for my baby. It's the perfect size to express gratitude, but not too big to where you would have to write a lot larger to fill up the card ;) I will definitely re-order these when I run out, they're perfect!"
"I bought these to use as thank-you cards to coordinate with the Sketched Sweetness invitations for my son's baptism. They are both described as the color Aloe, so I took a chance and the colors do match perfectly. I was able to choose the same font on both products which was great. The quality of both the photo and the paper itself were excellent as always."
"I looked through a number of cards on this site before deciding on this one. I wanted to use one of my favorite baby pictures, and this card's layout and color scheme meshed with the picture perfectly. The design and print quality were excellent, and I ended up with exactly what I was looking for. This is a beautiful card that strikes an excellent balance between a formal feel and a personal one."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Manitoba is Canada's Greece: Tory
Ex-finance minister blasts gutting of balanced-budget law
Manitobans should be outraged the Selinger New Democrats plan to kibosh a 1995 law that says taxpayers should decide major tax increases, the chief architect of Manitoba's balanced-budget legislation said Wednesday.
"It's a sad day for Manitoba," former Tory finance minister Eric Stefanson said after the NDP introduced a bill to exempt them from calling a referendum on their planned hike to the provincial sales tax.
"Really, there's no other way to describe it other than a sad day in terms of protection for the taxpayers, in terms of fiscal responsibilty in our province, in terms of what's important for the future of this province and in terms of allowing Manitobans to have a say on that," he said.
The NDP wasted no time Wednesday in introducing legislation to give the government the green light to raise the sales tax one percentage point to eight per cent, effective July 1, a move announced in Tuesday's budget. A Finance Department official said Wednesday the PST would only be hiked on items already taxed at seven per cent.
He said for goods and services in which a lower percentage is charged, such as on home electricity, there will be no increase.
The hike is expected to put almost $300 million into provincial coffers in the first full year of implementation.
The NDP has called the bill the Manitoba Building and Renewal Funding and Fiscal Management Act. Premier Greg Selinger said it calls on the province to report annually to Manitobans on how much it collects and how it spends the money.
"We'll demonstrate what roads are built," he said. "We'll indicate which personal-care homes are put in place, which hospitals are improved, which schools are improved, which post-secondary and college institutions have investments in them. There's going to be an accountability for that every year."
Selinger and Finance Minister Stan Struthers say the tax increase is needed to meet the coming construction season, a looming spring flood and to stave off an economic downturn.
They pointed to the Bank of Canada's downgrading of its expectations Wednesday on economic growth for the country for the first half of this year. It lowered its growth forecast for 2013 by half a point to 1.5 per cent, saying it expects the economy to remain under capacity until mid-2015.
"This is exactly the right time to create jobs and do things that will grow the economy, Selinger said. "Manitoba has done very well through this recession and this will allow us to continue to do well in growing our economy."
Stefanson said the NDP is painting too gloomy a picture. Its own budget papers trumpet that Manitoba is expected to outperform national growth in 2013 with an average unemployment rate (5.3 per cent) below the national average (7.2 per cent).
Stefanson also said the rush to get the PST hike because of the construction season is a red herring as the province has already planned its capital projects for months.
Blaming spring flooding is another red herring as up to 90 per cent of what the province pays to fight floods is covered by Ottawa.
"The reality is that many of them are not believers in balancing their books," he said. "They're not believers in paying down their debt. They're not believers in fiscal responsibility."
A small number of Manitobans would agree. A Facebook page called No PST Hike sprang up after Tuesday's budget.
Despite no referendum -- the NDP has said it would cost millions of dollars -- Selinger said his government does not intend to limit public debate to pass the bill.
He said at the committee stage, Manitobans will not be restricted from airing their views. "Everybody can sign up to speak on the bill," he said.
The date of those sessions has not been set.
Stefanson said Manitobans should take the premier up on his offer.
"I hope Manitobans really start to pay attention to the damage that this government is doing to our province and start to take action and speak out and show up at legislative committees and do whatever needs to be done to send a loud and clear message to this government. They're on the wrong track."
Stefanson introduced the province's balanced-budget legislation in March 1995. Besides a tax referendum, it required balanced budgets except in the case of a natural disaster, war or a five per cent drop in provincial revenues in one year and annual deposits to a debt retirement fund aimed at eliminating the debt by 2028. Tuesday's budget forecasts Manitoba's net debt to rise to $17.7 billion this year, almost doubling during the past decade.
"A day of reckoning is going to come," Stefanson said. "We're on a path to be the Greece of Canada. That's what's quietly happening and Manitobans need to be made aware of that."

As I ensured that all products on my server are US-english version I did not expect this result. It's good to know someone from the MOSS 2007 beta support group who quickly pointed me to the workaround for this problem. After creating the following registry key the problem was gone:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\ServerLanguage] "1033"=""
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\12.0\ServerLanguage] "1033"=""
Haha, on my first install all went smooth.
On the second, third and forth try I always came across that same issue and each time failed to fix it. Eventually I gave up and hoped that at some point someone else would come accross the same problem.
Good to know that there's an easy fix, though the question remains: where's that error message coming from in the first place?
Actually this is logged as a known bug in MOSS 2007 SP2. Should be fixed in one of the next builds.

ABSTRACT: Context:Decades of behavioral research suggest that awareness of health threats is a necessary precursor to engage in health promotion and disease prevention, findings that can be extended to the community level. Purpose: We sought to better understand local perspectives on the main health concerns of rural Appalachian communities in order to identify the key health priorities. While Kentucky Appalachian communities are often described as suffering from substandard health, resource, and socioeconomic indicators, strong traditions of community mobilization make possible positive, home-grown change. Methods: To assess what women, the key health gatekeepers, perceive as the most significant health threats to their rural communities, 10 focus groups were held with 52 Appalachian women from diverse socioeconomic backgrounds. Tape-recorded narratives were content analyzed and a codebook was developed. Measures designed to increase data trustworthiness included member checks, negative case evidence, and multiple coding. Findings: The following rank-ordered conditions emerged as posing the greatest threat to the health of rural Appalachian communities: (1) drug abuse/medication dependence; (2) cancer; (3) heart disease and diabetes (tied); (4) smoking; (5) poor diet/overweight; (6) lack of exercise; and (7) communicable diseases. These health threats were described as specific to the local environment, deriving from broad ecological problems and were connected to one another. Conclusion: Drawing on participants' community-relevant suggestions, we suggest ways in which rural communities may begin to confront these health concerns. These suggestions range from modest, individual-level changes to broader structural-level recommendations.

Is anyone up for a monthly craft challenge?
I'm more a lurker than a poster, but I love the work here. Is anyone up for a monthly craft challenge? They had this on another board where each month they picked a subject and everyone made their own project and posted a picture of it. For example, one month�s challenge could be "book worm", where the projects can range from decorated books, to worms, to anything else based on that subject. It's also fun to see the many different creative interpretations people can come up with for one subject!
Here is a link from the other board I mentioned that contains this month's challenge, "New Year New Use" which seems to be recycling an old craft, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=504.0#axzz2sdMPFS80. And here is a link to past monthly challenges, http://www.craftster.org/forum/index.php?board=174.0#axzz2sdMPFS80
Let me know what you think! Thanks!
Hi, I'm also a lurker. I hang out at the kitchen table, but lurk many other forums.
The craft challenge sounds fun, not sure how crafty I may be
I'm thinking it is not an exchange from one to another but something that is just posted here after finishing it?
I will consider joining, sounds exciting
Great idea! It might get the forum going more again.
Phish, what if you start a new thread called:
"March project: (theme) , Post your pictures here."
And explain in the body of the post. Maybe you could pick the first theme, but ask that people give suggestions for future months' themes when they post their pictures of this months completed project.
May be I will do it.
I'm thinking:
Herbs and Spices
Its Spring! Put on a Happy Face!
And your birds may sing...
Suggestions? I just came up with these from what I see from my chair, a pot of rosemary, cardinals in the tree outside, and a beautiful sunny day that makes me think of spring. I'm tending toward spring since this would be a march challenge.
I'm so glad you're stepping up, Kathy! I LOVED the Herbs & Spices, but I'm good with Spring too. We're actually having a much needed thaw here.
I can't wait to get a project started!!! Please post about rules and what is expected. It's winter and I want a project/challenge! I'm not planning to enter the State Fair this year and I really miss my ritual planning. :)
PS: mind if I ask about your handle? concreteprimroses sounds a little harsh. LOL!
PSS: Excuse me! I see that I have missed reading the 'n' in your handle. LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm not offended. Its an odd name, but 2 of my favorite things!
Ok, I will give it a shot. Phish I hope its ok with you and you will participate. I'm thinking spring first and then if that is successful we can move on to herbs and spices.
I'll ponder it and try to post a new thread tonite.
Anyone who sees this could let other forums you frequent know. I'll mention it on the conversations side of Garden Junk.

|Advocating for a National Strategic Plan to end gender-based violence
42 CSO's from across South Africa, including PACSA, met in Cape Town in February to discuss and strategize around advocating government to adopt a National Strategic Plan to end gender-based violence. The meeting provided an opportunity for strategic engagement around how best to move forward in building a common response to GBV in the country.
|ATD Fourth World movement members visit PACSA
Genevieve and Bruno Tardieu from the ATD Fourth World movement (www.atd-fourthworld.org) inParis visited PACSA last week. Genevieve and Bruno took time out of their three month sabbatical at the Southern African Labour and Development Research Unit (SALDRU), at the University of Cape Town, to join us for a conversation on our work and the politics that informs our practice.
|Budget 2015 Factsheet
This Budget 2015 factsheet has been prepared by the Pietermaritzburg Agency for Community Social Action [PACSA] for media personnel and MPs with the intention of identifying some of the fractures upon which our current economic approach is founded, and to present background information with which to interrogate the upcoming 2015 Budget. Rather than employing the jargon of economics, this document speaks to the lived experience of ordinary people, and makes some key suggestions for a transformative budget that meets their needs – and those of the country as a whole.
|Duduzile Radebe – PACSA Practice Development Manager
After an extensive search and interview process the PACSA Council appointed Ms. Duduzile Radebe to the newly created position of Practice Development Manager. She starts work with us on the 1st March 2015.
|PACSA argues for a total restructuring of the Msunduzi municipal tariff framework
It has now become common for the Msunduzi municipality to invite our comments and inputs into their annual municipal tariff policy that sets the cost structure of services such as electricity, water and sanitation. Last year we argued that setting costs makes no sense without first conducting an affordability study to ascertain whether costs are affordable. Msunduzi agreed with our proposal but this year's tariff policy again was set without taking affordability into regard.
|PACSA Monthly Food Price barometer
The January 2015 PACSA Monthly Food Price Barometer headlines 'No drop in food prices as a result of the petrol price drop'.
The price of petrol has dropped by 25% since July 2014, and even considering the time lag, PACSA's food price barometer shows an average increase in food prices of 0.7% from October 2014 till January 2015 (R1557.63 in October 2014 to R1568.25 in January 2015). STATS SA's CPI food and non-alcoholic beverages index similarly showed a 0.9% increase between December 2014 and January 2015. Many are questioning why we have not seen a drop in food prices. Fuel is an input cost across the entire food value chain and in all foods.
|PACSA Monthly Food price Barometer: January 2015
The PACSA monthly food price barometer tracks the price of a basket of 36 basic food items from six different retail stores servicing the lower-income market in Pietermaritzburg, KwaZulu-Natal. The basket serves as an index for food price inflation and provides insight into the affordability of food and other essential household requirements for working class households in a context of low wages, social grants and high levels of unemployment.
|Youth Peer Educators Network plan for 2015
Thirty Peer Educators from seven different schools in the uMgungundlovu District recently attended a 3 day workshop to share experiences and plan common awareness programmes and school-based actions that create safe spaces for scholars to engage around gender, sexuality and HIV and Aids.
"PIETERMARITZBURG Agency for Community Social Action (Pacsa) has proposed a range of measures to close the widening gap between the Child Support Grant (CSG) and what food actually costs. Pacsa's Food Price Barometer tracks the price of a basket of 36 basic food items from six different retail stores."

3 Tales of Hope for a Low-Carbon Futureby -

What Will it Take to End the "Resource Curses?"by -
The "resource curse" describes the paradox where countries rich in oil, gas, and minerals remain largely impoverished. Better transparency—both in how governments spend extractive revenues and how natural resource decisions are made—could help tackle this problem. While some new initiatives are making progress on this front, more needs to be done to ensure that drilling and mining doesn't come at the expense of communities and the land, water, and wildlife they rely on.

| February 27, 2015 - BEA Revises 4th Quarter 2014 GDP Growth Downward to 2.18%:
In their second estimate of the US GDP for the fourth quarter of 2014, the Bureau of Economic Analysis (BEA) reported that the economy was growing at a +2.18% annualized rate, down roughly a half percent (-0.46%) from the +2.64% previously reported and down -2.78% from the growth rate reported for the prior quarter.
The downward revisions were in several of its components: lower inventory growth removed -0.70% from the headline growth rate, slower consumer goods spending removed another -0.19%, and imports took yet another -0.19%.
Consumer services spending was revised upward +0.15%, and non-residential fixed investment was reported to be +0.34% higher than previously published.
Real annualized per capita disposable income was revised downward by -$33 (now reported to be $37,742 per annum). This is down $90 per year from the 4th quarter of 2012. The household savings rate improved +0.1% for the quarter to 4.7%.
As mentioned last month, plunging energy prices during the quarter were likely playing havoc with many of the numbers in this report. US "at the pump" gasoline prices fell 33% quarter-to-quarter -- pushing all consumer oriented inflation indexes firmly into negative territory. During the fourth quarter (i.e., from October through December) the seasonally adjusted CPI-U index published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) was solidly dis-inflationary at a -2.47% (annualized) rate, and the price index reported by the Billion Prices Project (BPP -- which arguably more fully reflected the "at the pump" impact on American households) was significantly more dis-inflationary, dropping a full -2.14% quarter-to-quarter (an astounding -8.30% annualized rate during the quarter).
Yet for this report the BEA still assumed a very mildly dis-inflationary annualized deflator of only -0.14%. The disparity between the BEA's and the BLS's "deflators" raises some serious consistency issues. Over reported inflation (or under reported dis-inflation) will result in a more pessimistic growth data, and if the BEA's "nominal" numbers were corrected for inflation using the line-item appropriate BLS CPI-U and PPI indexes, the economy would be reported to be growing at an implausibly high 6.52% annualized rate. Clearly the BEA's deflator is troubling, but using the more reasonable deflators from the BLS generates nonsensical growth rates when applied to the BEA's nominal data -- suggesting that the BEA's initial nominal data may be more overstated (or guesstimated) than reasonable deflators can handle.
Among the notable items in the report :
-- The headline contribution from consumer expenditures for goods was +1.01% (down -0.19% from the prior estimate).
-- The contribution made by consumer services spending to the headline increased to +1.82% (up +0.15% from the previous report). The combined consumer contribution to the headline number was 2.83%, down -0.04% from the prior estimate.
-- Commercial private fixed investments provided +0.71% of the headline number (up +0.34% from the previous report, but down -0.50% from the 1.21% in the 3rd quarter), and this drop was nearly all in heavy equipment (industrial and transportation). The reported growth came almost entirely from IT spending and intellectual property.
-- Inventories contributed +0.12% to the headline number (down a full -0.70% from the prior estimate).
-- Governmental spending removed -0.32% from the headline (up +0.08% from the previous report but down -1.12% from the 3rd quarter). As mentioned last month, the prior quarter's growth in Federal spending was in fact entirely spurious: spending pulled forward from the 4th quarter as a result of fiscal year-end budgetary maneuvers.
-- Exports are now reported to be contributing +0.42% to the headline growth rate (up +0.05% from the previous estimate).
-- Imports subtracted -1.58% from the headline number (down -1.74% from the prior quarter).
-- The annualized growth rate for the "real final sales of domestic product" is now reported to be +2.06% (down -2.93% from the prior quarter). This is the BEA's "bottom line" measurement of the economy.
-- And as mentioned above, real per-capita annual disposable income was revised downward by -$33 per year. The new number represents an annualized growth rate of +2.95%. Real disposable income is still down -$90 per year from the fourth quarter of 2012 (before the FICA rates normalized) and it is up only +2.90% in total since the second quarter of 2008 -- a pathetic +0.44% annualized growth rate over the past 6 and a half years.
The Numbers, As Revised
As a quick reminder, the classic definition of the GDP can be summarized with the following equation :
or, as it is commonly expressed in algebraic shorthand :
In the new report the values for that equation (total dollars, percentage of the total GDP, and contribution to the final percentage growth number) are as follows :
GDP Components Table
Quarterly Changes in % Contributions to GDP
Summary and Commentary
The revisions in this report are relatively minor, and probably should be considered just "noise" in the context of an economy with a slowing growth rate. Among our observations about this report are:
-- At face value, the +2.06% "bottom line" Real Final Sales growth rate seems plausible for the US economy during the fourth quarter of 2014.
-- The reported strong growth in fixed investment occurred primarily in two areas: IT spending and the recently added (and very fuzzy) arena of "intellectual property."
-- Rampant or rouge deflators are likely as much a factor in the headline number as real growth.
Looking forward, we are often told that "bad weather" is a major factor in first quarter economic data -- keeping shoppers home and suppressing construction work. Given the quarter-to-quarter weakening already evident in the GDP numbers, the first quarter probably wasn't going to be particularly pleasant even before the recent record snowfalls. It could now be getting just as nasty as the weather itself.

Family memorializes Lizzi, lambastes her killer at sentencing hearing
Lizzi's father, Bob Marriott, was the last member of the family to speak. He walked slowly around the courtroom holding the enlarged photo of Lizzi shown throughout Mazzaglia's nearly month-long trial in June.
"I call this 'Dad's Exhibit 1,'" Bob Marriott said. He then explained that the full version of the photo showed her gently holding a frog that she had rescued from the family pool. He said Lizzi, a 19-year-old from Westborough, Mass., spent weekends in high school volunteering at New England Aquarium and was working toward a marine biology degree at the University of New Hampshire.
Melissa Marriott said in a news conference after the hearing that she "was so relieved that the monster who murdered our Lizzi" would spend the rest of his life in jail.
"I did not rape and murder Elizabeth Marriott, however I do understand the Marriott family's pain," he said.
Mazzaglia then said, "I did play a part in covering up Lizzi Marriott's death" and said he was "truly sorry" that her body was never found.
Bob Marriott responded flatly when asked about Mazzaglia's statement after the sentencing hearing.
"I thought it was very lame," he said.
Mazzaglia also was found guilty of conspiracy of falsifying physical evidence and conspiracy to commit tampering with witnesses.

Mariah Carey (Nov 23rd, 2008)
Mariah Carey looks absolutely glamorous with large rolling curls through her length.
Styling Tip
Step 1: Blend a quarter-size amount each of leave-in conditioner and curl-enhancing balm along with a few drops of shine serum and apply onto damp hair. Blow dry two-inch sections straight with a paddle brush.
Step 2: Mist a one-inch section with styling spray and wrap the lower part around a large curling iron. Hold in place for a few seconds to set the curl and then release. Repeat all over while curling in the same direction until all sections are done.
Step 3: Brush through the curls with a natural bristle brush to create soft body.

Emilly In Darkness
"Emilly In Darkness" is an old school action-adventure game in which on one hand the character shoots, sets traps and learns new skills, but on the other hand the character must navigate a gloomy, complex world with a twisted and unpredictable plot, highlighted by cut-in animations and conversations with NPC's.
"Emilly in Darkness" tells the story of Emilly who, for reasons unknown, wakes up alone in a dark forest, and after a few moments is fatally gunned down by an unseen assassin. However, she does not die, at least not in the traditional sense of death. Instead, Emilly finds herself suspended in a grim and odd place, not so different from hell. She is lost, alone, surrounded by demons, and oddly enough, other forlorn people, people whose intentions are not always clear. This is just the beginning...
*IMPORTANT* Emilly In Darkness requires devices with minimum 512 MB RAM to run properly.
Main features:
• Great story
• Dark atmospheric world
• Challenging gameplay
• Unique hand-drawn artwork
• Simple rpg elements (NPCs, skills development)
zelda like gameplay, horror theme...
