After kicking off Monday Makeovers (video of the mayor's dear hannah and Salon Caru trip to be posted next Monday), HG realized that there is a world of style at our fingertips here in Hoboken. There are so many beautiful and fashionable people in the Mile Square (say what you want about New Jersey, but we know how to work it in Hoboken).
So, HobokenGirl wanted to track down the most fashionable femmes in town and start a Street Style section of the blog. It doesn't matter who or what you're wearing, as long as you look goooood in it! In a nutshell, we'll be style-stalking fashionistas walking around Washington St (and beyond). Because, after all, you can never be overdressed or over-educated.
So, without further ado, meet Lauren, a Hoboken fashionista found on Washington St!
HG style-stalked Lauren and found out that her adorbs outfit was comprised of:
1. DRESS: Jessica Simpson White Eyelet
2. BELT: Belt (attached to dress)
3. BAG: Michael Kors Black Monogrammed Tote
4. SHOES: BCBG Sandals with a touch of snakeskin – looove!
How cute does she look?
One more beauty found on the street – meet Lani, former Hoboken resident – in town for some dinner and shopping!
HG style-stalked Lani and found out that her sassy work outfit included:
1. TOP: Limelight (NYC store) Short-Sleeved Button-Down, layered with a red James Perse Tank underneath
2. PANTS: Black Rock & Republic skinny jeans (which she cuffed for a more polished, work-approp look)
3. BAG: Black Anne Klein Tote (with laptop and Louis Vuitton wallet inside!)
4. SHOES: Rocket Dogs from DSW
5. JEWELS: Pendant Necklace from Urban Outiftters
To be featured in the Street Style Section of HobokenGirl, you just need to be walking around Washington Street (or elsewhere) in Hoboken and be looking stylish, of course. You never know, the next section of Hoboken Street Style could feature you.

Can Developers do Programming or Coding without Googling?
Reactions: |
5 comments:
Actually we could just do it by typing in stack overflow, cause that's where 90% of my dev-related searches are ending ^^'
ReplyDeleteSure - I can do it - did do it, for years before there was google.
You see, there are these things called books - they are helpful too.
Also, there are various docs and help pages that come with a development system. I am a Java developer and I could get by with just the installed Javadocs.
Would I want to go back to doing it that way?
Not at all; I learn something new from the internets every day about how to accomplish some task, and more importantly, how to do it correctly and efficiently.

Distribpix Inc.'s Steven Morowitz and filmmaker Joel Bender have uncovered an "almost pristine" 35mm print of Orson Welles' "Falstaff, Chimes at Midnight," starring Welles himself as the titular knight, a bawdy, boozing flaneur lifted from Shakespeare's "Henry IV" plays and "Henry V."
Long unavailable on home video formats due to legal tussles, "Chimes at Midnight" was found tucked among tens of thousands of pounds of film elements owned by Morowitz, who evidently had been sitting on the print for 20-plus years. "One thing is for sure and that is that the world wants a gorgeous and definitive release of Falstaff," he co-wrote on his blog with Bender. DCPs have floated around various retrospectives, and Bay Area cinephiles have caught a 16mm print of the film at the Pacific Film Archive.
The uncut print takes up seven reels, which they took to a film lab for digital processing. But no restoration has been done—yet.
"The 35mm print is in such great condition that it is begging for a full 4k scan restoration," wrote Morowitz. "This would at least guarantee a viable digital archive and one that can stand for future generations of cinema lovers."
"Who owns the rights? Why has there been no definitive film restoration? Who has the original negative? Why was it pulled after a few play dates in New York City. The questions go on and on."
Take a look at a sampling of screengrabs (and a clip) below, and follow the rest of this story over at the Distribpix blog here. And if you're a film preservation buff, Morowitz and Bender dig pretty deep into the technical nitty-gritty of this discovery.
Following digital screenings of the film at the Sedona Film Festival, Orson Welles' daughter Beatrice Welles revealed that a "major DVD/Blu-ray label is interested in releasing and restoring 'Chimes at Midnight.'" Let's make this happen.

Our Team
We believe that our teachers are an invaluable part of Kranti Yoga. Our teachers have been long term practitioners at the school and continue with their studies under Kranti's tutelage.
We accommodate the needs of our students, physically, spiritually and emotionally. All our teachers have trained at Kranti Yoga and have learnt yoga in the traditional Hindu way, living 7-8 months of the year in our shala with Kranti. During this time, they deepen their own Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga practice, improve their knowledge of yogic philosophy, learn how to teach yoga and live a truly yogic lifestyle.
In our approach to teaching, we aim to have a balance of both Eastern and Western teachers so that students get a healthy balance of yoga from both perspectives. We talk about asanas using both Western and Eastern anatomy. We discuss Eastern philosophy with a Western structure. We believe we bring a Western influence to the Yogic Indian. Great emphasis is put on ensuring that a consistent message is given to students whether classes are taught by our Indian or Western teachers.
We have the best people teaching and organising the courses. The variety of backgrounds and prior life experience that each of our teachers come with allows the team to guide you through your learning journey effectively. We aim to teach in a progressive yet fun environment, encouraging everyone to learn and share along the way.
Meet the team...
Tarun Kranti Agrawal
Tarun Agrawal, founder and director of The Kranti Yoga Village, was born in 1980 in Chhattisgarh, Middle India. Following a family tradition, at the age of 9, he frequented a guru named Sant Chana Baba for meditation and yogic spiritual talks. Chana Baba was an old Tantra Master living in a temple located on Shakti Mountain. He gave Tarun his spiritual name, Kranti, meaning revolution. It is no surprise that this has therefore become the name of his successful business, a yoga school with accommodation, on Patnem Beach, Goa.
Tarun started his spiritual journey when he was just a boy. He started Asana Classes with Swami Vidhyanand Saraswati at Sivananda Kutir Yoga Ashram and was trained there in several different styles of yoga: Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow, Sivananda, Kundalini and Raja. During this period, he was also taught Ayurveda by Dr. Manoj Sharma. He started teaching yoga at the age of 14.
In 1999 he became a member of The Divine Live Society Sivananda Ashram in Rishikesh and stayed there for around 2 years. During this time, he was exposed to many spiritual Indian masters who influenced and molded his thinking and lifestyle.
In 2001, having stayed in several different ashrams, he taught Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga at OSHO International Ashram, Pune. At the same time, he furthered his training at Jagan Mohan Palace in Mysore over the course of 3 years. Here, he was able to deepen his knowledge of Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Since then, he has dedicated himself to teaching others this dynamic and powerful form of yoga.
In 2007, Tarun started his own yoga shala (school) in Goa and has since been teaching Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga. Tarun was certified by The Yoga Alliance in 2010. At this time, he started travelling throughout Europe giving numerous classes and workshops. His reputation grew. His once simple shala on Palolem Beach has evolved into a yoga community on Patnem Beach, The Kranti Yoga Village.
And so, Tarun continues to share his knowledge of yoga through his team. He is proud to have developed many of his former students to become yoga teachers in order to support the learning journey that comes with Ashtanga Vinyasa Yoga on the Yoga Teacher Training Courses. As the school grows, so to do our teachers, all under the close supervision and guidance of Tarun himself. His policy is that his teachers are trained with him in the authentic Indian way, living most of the year, with him in the shala. Tarun believes strongly in promoting the spiritual side of yoga to support the physical. This is evident from the curriculum that he has developed over the years and more importantly from the teachers that that he has nurtured to teach.
Morwenna Truscott
Having discovered Ashtanga Yoga whilst training as a dancer in London, it soon became apart of her life, developing alongside her career as a dance teacher, eventually over taking it all together. Drawing from her dance background and yoga experience, Morwenna teaches flowing Vinyasa Flow Classes with creative transitions and dynamic sequencing. Imaginative cueing allows her students to gain greater insight into their individual body alignments and develop a deeper awareness of their own physicality.
Morwenna is also a firm believer in the benefits of the traditional practice of Ashtanga Yoga. She believes that through repetition, routine and enquiry you are able to gain insight into your physical and mental patterns and are able to become more mindful of your thoughts and actions on and off the mat.
During her training at Kranti Yoga, Morwenna was introduced to Ayurveda, which has now become an important influence on her life, especially Ayurvedic diet and nutrition. She believes yoga and Ayurveda together form a complete approach for optimal health, vitality and higher awareness that can lead to greater transformation in your practise, your health and your awareness of others. Just like yoga it is a lifelong learning process that is only improved through practice and experience.
After completing her training at Kranti Yoga she has been lucky enough to take classes with David Swenson, Sharath Jois, Shiva Rea and Meghan Currie. Teachers, yoga and people of all kinds continue to inspire and fuel the development of her practice and exploration of yoga.
In the words of Yogi Bhajan, Morwenna believes, 'To be happy in life you must do two things everyday, you must sweat and you must laugh.' She hopes to ensure you do both on a daily basis at Kranti Yoga.
Morwenna is a long term Kranti Yoga student who visits us often to deepen their own practice, knowledge and teaching skills and share their knowledge with the Kranti village community.
Amelia Valls Ferrando
Amelia's journey as a teacher started 10 years ago, having been trained in Pilates, Fitness and in Personal Training. She worked with a diverse range of people and communities. At that point she realized how much she loved to help people have a better, active life and decided to study a degree in Exercise and Sport Sciences, in Spain.
In 2014 she completed her 500 hrs YTTC at Kranti Yoga. Initially, it was to complement her field of work and studies. However, during her training she developed a completely different point of view about the concept of health. She realised that health is not just about the physical but the mind and soul also. Through Yoga, Amelia found balance in her life. She started to incorporate aspects of yoga philosophy not only on the mat but also in her everyday life.
After studying at Kranti Yoga, she returned home and realised how much she missed The Yoga Village. She returned to assist on the YTTCs in order to develop herself as a Yoga Teacher. Passionate about anatomy, she was quickly able to apply her knowledge in the Ashtanga Yoga practice, helping students on a daily basis to overcome the many obstacles faced physically. As a teacher she encourages people to listen themselves and their individual capacity. Amelia believes that we all are unique and have our own personal way to learn.
During the summer months, she works with a group of conflictive teenagers, helping them to control their emotions through yoga. She also continues her yogic learning journey throughout Europe and India and has recently trained with teachers David Swenson, Patrick Broome, Viswanathi and Vinay Kumar among others. Amelia is eternally grateful to all her teachers, who have guided her towards being the person that she is today. In gratitude of her teachers, she is determined to help others with their yogic journeys.
Amelia is a long term Kranti Yoga student who visits us often to deepen their own practice, knowledge and teaching skills and share their knowledge with the Kranti village community.
Grace Watson Farmer
Grace stumbled across yoga whilst living in Oxford 6 years ago and a regular practice quickly became a part of her lifestyle, particularly when recovering from a long standing shoulder injury. Previously, Grace had been fuelling her lifelong passion for dance and movement by juggling part time Barre Concept teaching with a full time job, until she finally took the plunge and ditched the busy London based corporate life in pursuit of more Yoga. In 2014 she completed her 200 hour YTTC with Kranti Yoga, where she reignited her enthusiasm for movement and bodywork. She has been exploring the world and teaching yoga full time ever since and has never looked back!
Grace loves how yoga makes the world a smaller and more connected place and also enjoys exploring how Eastern and Yogic Philosophy can help to heal and rebalance us. Cultivating and nurturing an awareness of our mind, body and soul is one of the many reasons why Grace continues to seek and learn as much as she can on the topic of yoga; teaching at Kranti allows her to continually share and develop her knowledge and experience of all 8 limbs of Ashtanga Yoga.
Grace's style of teaching reflects the dynamic and flowing influences of her dance background, as well as encompassing the disciplined alignment focus of the Ashtanga techniques. Particularly fond of playful, fluid vinyasa sequences, she is also a firm believer in fostering a regular traditional Ashtanga practice to build strength and clarity in mind and in body. She believes that her daily Mysore practice has transformed her ability to focus and access the benefits of Yoga reaching far beyond just the physical and loves spreading these benefits to others through teaching Yoga.
Grace is a long term Kranti Yoga student who visits us often to deepen their own practice, knowledge and teaching skills and share their knowledge with the Kranti village community.
Béatrice Ayotte
Born and raised in Montreal, Canada, Beatrice is deeply passionate about life and adventure. She has always been looking for new ways to get out of her comfort zone and push her boundaries. The practice of yoga helps her to challenge herself daily: mentally, physically and spiritually.
The desire to deepen her practice brought her to Kranti Yoga in May 2014. She completed her 200 hr YTTC. With a passion for Vinyasa Flow, the traditional Ashtanga Yoga helped her gain a deeper knowledge of details and technique and a better understanding of the human body. Since graduating, she quit fashion school to pursue her goal of becoming a full time yoga instructor. She has been teaching various styles of yoga in her hometown including Yin Yoga, Hatha, Ashtanga Yoga and Vinyasa Flow. She has also branched out, teaching yoga to kids after completing her training in yoga for children in Montreal.
Beatrice believes that by practicing yoga, you get to know yourself better first through your body, your breath, your mind and all its patterns and therefore getting closer to your true essence, your Self. When you get to understand yourself better in your entirety, slowly you begin to understand everything better : people, nature, universal laws. You become more curious, more compassionate, more alive than ever. Yoga is a powerful transformative tool and she's forever grateful to be able to help people to change their own lives through it, and therefore, change the world in her own way.
Having fallen in love with the traditional eastern yoga philosophy and the western creative yoga sequences, she has created her own practice that inspires and rejuvenates her and she hopes to share her love of it with you.
Beatrice is a long term Kranti Yoga student who visits us often to deepen their own practice, knowledge and teaching skills and share their knowledge with the Kranti village community.
Sally Bee
Always on the hunt for new escapades, Sally has always had a strong desire to learn and discover. She came to Kranti Yoga in 2015 to learn more about the tradition of yoga and to deepen and develop her own practice, subsequently completing her 200hr YTTC and 100hr Teacher Training Plus.
Born in London, Sally grew up with a love of culture. Having worked in a range of positions within the creative arts, she enjoys getting her hands dirty and allowing her imagination to roam. Sally weaves this creativity into her Vinyasa Flow classes, always emphasising the power and beauty of meditation.
Enjoying the harmony and richness it brings to her personal practice, Sally returns to deepen her own practice, knowledge and teaching skills and share her knowledge with the Kranti village community.
Dhira Krishna
Dhira Krishna Rupa Das is currently serving as a preacher and counselor in Goa. He conducts regular courses of Bhagavat Gita and Srimad Bhagwatamin English and Hindi at different places in Goa. He has acquired Bhaktishastri, a certified course based on the teachings of Bhagavat Gita. He joined ISKCON (International Society for Krishna Consciousness) full time in 2007 in Goa and has been initiated by H. H. Radhanath Swami Maharaj.
Dhira joins The Kranti Yoga Team to teach philosophy, in particular to teach Yoga In Gita. We are delighted to learn and share with him.
Emily Ruygrok
Born and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, Emily grew up with a huge passion for holistic health. She studied Nutritional Science at university and soon found herself attending yoga classes, falling completely in love with the practice largely due to the effects on her mentally and spiritually. She completed her first 200hr YTTC at Shiva Shakti Yoga, a Hatha Yoga course focusing deeply on the traditional Indian teachings. During this training she discovered the Kranti Yoga Village, a place she immediately felt a strong connection with. She completed a second YTTC directly after, deepening both her practice and teaching skills.
After completing these trainings, Emily stayed in India to spend time in ashrams and meditation centres. Here, she greatly deepened her understanding of ancient Indian philosophy and practices. Six months later she returned to Kranti Yoga as part of the Karma Yoga Programme, teaching daily Drop In classes and working as part of the reception team. On her return home, she set up her own small yoga business, The Good Earth, where she teaches Hatha, Ashtanga, Vinyasa Flow and Yin Yoga. She is excited to return to Kranti Yoga to join the team this season.
Emily believes that yoga is a journey of the self and is an essential tool in experiencing true connection. She feels that a beautiful awakening is happening worldwide as our earth is calling for change. Yoga is integral to this revolution of consciousness. She believes when we allow ourselves to be guided by our breath and intuition, we maintain complete presence and turn our attention inwards, we can break down barriers and find our way to our true selves.
Julia Gavin
Julia was originally a Mathematics teacher from UK until she stumbled across Kranti Yoga while travelling in India. She immediately signed up for a Yoga Teacher Training Course, 200 hours followed by 300 hours and was teaching at Kranti Yoga on completion in 2012. Previously, Julia had been practicing a variety of different styles of yoga including Vinyasa Flow and Hatha for over ten years. However, she has developed, with Kranti Yoga, as an Ashtanga Yoga Teacher. She particularly enjoys the pace, focus and meditative qualities of Ashtanga Yoga along with the anatomical awareness that the practice brings. For Julia, Ashtanga Yoga is a very physical, mental and spiritual activity that promotes a positive sense of welling being in everyday life. She is very much devoted to her practice. Julia lives in India for most of the year and is learning more about yoga in the traditional way.
As a teacher, Julia believes strongly in lifelong learning and that we should always be trying to broaden our mind by trying something different as often as possible. She says that new experiences are key to our sense of fulfillment whether you are learning a new language, skill or hobby. For her, Ashtanga Yoga has a huge appeal as there is always more to learn whether from a philosophical point of view or something of a more technical anatomical nature.
During the 'off season' Julia spends her time travelling in pursuit of yoga. She delights in the pleasure of being a student rather than a teacher. This summer she trained with various teachers including Sharath Jois, Janet Stone, David Swenson, Tiffany Cruickshank and Helen Aldred.

Robert McWilliams
Rob's background stems from Dance and Performing Arts. He has a passion for being on stage from tap to ballroom dancing. He has been cast in many diverse roles in shows such as Jesus Christ Superstar (Portmarnock Musical Society,) Beauty and the Beast (Teachers Musical Society) and Sweeney Todd (Malahide Musical Society.) He has had a successful career in the theatre for many years.
Alongside this, Rob delivered drama and dance workshops to groups of budding performers, allowing himself to develop as a teacher in a field that he loved.
It was this background along with interests in running and gym training that led Rob to yoga and ultimately into teaching yoga. Rob completed his 500 hr YTTC at Kranti Yoga. He has since been teaching Vinyasa Flow in his hometown in Ireland but is keen to return to India to further develop his practice and his yoga teaching skills.
Rob returns to Patnem this season to join the Karma Yoga program.
The body is your temple. Keep it pure and clean for the soul to reside in.

With members of Congress back in session for a lame duck session, the future of the stalled farm bill remains uncertain. It's possible the bill, which includes $35 billion in savings over 10 years, could surface as part of the bigger deal known as the fiscal cliff.
More than 200 agriculture, rural, conservation and energy groups wrote top House leaders from both parties recently urging the bill be considered and completed as soon as possible.
Senator Debbie Stabenow, Democrat of Michigan and chairwoman of the Senate Agriculture Committee, and Representative Frank D. Lucas, Republican of Oklahoma and chairman of the House Agriculture Committee, are trying to persuade administration and Congressional leaders to include the measure in negotiations that are seeking to avoid more than $500 billion in tax increases and more than $100 billion in automatic spending cuts that would go into effect next year. Both lawmakers have sponsored versions of a farm bill with steep spending cuts that would help with deficit reduction, they said.
While the Obama administration has not decided whether to include the bill in its talks with Congress, officials have indicated that they would be open to overhauling some farm programs to narrow the deficit.
U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack recently urged Congress to pass the bill, saying the department "would do everything we can" to implement a new farm bill in time for the 2013 harvest next fall.

Obama: South Africa has shown how people can change the world
President Barack Obama challenged young Africans to shore up progress on the continent that rests on a "fragile foundation," summoning them to fulfill South Africa's beloved former leader Nelson Mandela's vision of equality and opportunity.
Obama, in his own effort to carve out a piece of that legacy, announced a new US-led initiative to double access to electric power across Africa, vowing to help bring "light where there is currently darkness."
The president's remarks at the University of Cape Town capped an emotional day that included a visit to the Robben Island prison where Mandela spent 18 of his 27 years in prison. The 94-year-old anti-apartheid hero's deteriorating condition has served as both a distraction and an inspiration to Obama throughout his weeklong trip to Africa.
"Nelson Mandela showed us that one man's courage can move the world," Obama said, flanked by a diverse group of young people during his evening speech.
In deeply personal remarks, the US president spoke of standing in Mandela's cramped prison cell Sunday with his two young daughters, Malia and Sasha.
"Seeing them stand within the walls that once surrounded Nelson Mandela, I knew this was an experience they would never forget," he said. "I knew they now appreciated a little bit more that Madiba and other had made for freedom," Obama added, referring to Mandela by his clan name.
Obama address came nearly 50 years after Robert F Kennedy delivered his famous "Ripple of Hope" speech at the same university, an address that Obama aides said helped inspire the president's remarks. Kennedy's speech, delivered soon after Mandela was sentenced to prison, called on young people to launch a fight against injustice, creating ripples of hope that would "build a current which can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance."
Laying out his own vision for development on the continent where his father was born, Obama said the US seeks "a partnership that empowers Africans to access greater opportunity in their own lives." Harkening back to a prominent theme from his 2009 speech in Ghana - Obama's only other trip to Africa as president - the president said Africans must take much of the responsibility for finishing the work started by Mandela and his contemporaries.
Freedom and opportunity
"Ultimately I believe Africans should make up their own minds about what serves African interests," he said. "We trust your judgment, the judgment of ordinary people. We believe that when you control your destiny, if you got a handle on your governments then governments will promote freedom and opportunity, because that will serve you."
The White House says Obama's electricity initiative, dubbed "Power Africa", symbolizes the type of cross-continent ventures the president seeks. Backed by $7-billion in US investment, the power program will focus on expanding access to electricity in six African countries: Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Nigeria and Tanzania.
"It's the connection that's needed to plug Africa into the grid of the global economy," Obama said of the initiative.
Private companies - including General Electric and Symbion Power - will make an additional $9-billion in commitments aimed at expanding the reach of power grids and developing geothermal, hydro, wind and solar power. However, those contributions fall well short of the $300-billion the International Energy Agency says would be required to achieve universal electricity access in sub-Saharan Africa by 2030.
Despite his focus on building an Africa that can rely on itself, Obama also said the United States would make no apologies for backing efforts to stand up for human dignity on the continent. As long as parts of Africa are ravaged by war, he said, democracy and economic opportunity can't take hold.
He also touted US investment in health programs - particularly an HIV/Aids program launched by his predecessor, George W. Bush - that have helped millions of Africans access life-saving drugs and reduced the rate of mother-to-child transmission of HIV. The White House said the US will spend $4.2-billion this year on the President's Emergency Plan For Aids Relief, also known as PEPFAR.
Obama also said he will invite African heads of state and government to a summit next year to "launch a new chapter" in African-US relations.
Seeking to highlight the benefits of the initiative, Obama visited a health center Sunday overseen by Archbishop Desmond Tutu.
The emotional centerpiece of Obama's day was his visit to Robben Island. He was guided on his tour by 83-year-old South African politician Ahmed Kathrada, who was held at the prison for nearly two decades and guided Obama on his 2006 visit to the prison as a U.S. senator.
"On behalf of our family, we're deeply humbled to stand where men of such courage faced down injustice and refused to yield. The world is grateful for the heroes of Robben Island, who remind us that no shackles or cells can match the strength of the human spirit," Obama wrote in the guest book in the prison courtyard, his U.S. Secret Service agents standing watch in the old guard tower above.
Under sunshine and clear, blue skies, Obama, first lady Michelle Obama and daughters Malia and Sasha took in the expansive view of the quarry, a huge crater with views of the rusty guard tower from where Mandela was watched. Obama commented on the "hard labor" Mandela endured and asked Kathrada to remind his daughters how long Mandela was in prison.
Obama opened his Africa trip last week in Senegal. He'll travel Monday to Tanzania for the final stop on his tour. - Sapa-AP

Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Muslims in Mannaar expose systemic inability of SL State in delivering justice to victims
Timely protest saves church land from police occupation in Mannaar[TamilNet, Thursday, 16 December 2010, 13:34 GMT]A demonstration by the Peasaalai church and residents Wednesday morning forced the Sri Lankan police to abandon its attempt to seize the land and construct a police station on the land that belongs to St.Lady of Victory Church in Pesalai in Mannaar district. Large number of people including Parish Priests and Vicar of the church participated in the demonstration that was held for one and a half hours from 7:00 a.m. On seeing police personnel unloading building materials and other items for the construction of the police station on the church land without the permission of the church authorities around 6 morning Wednesday, the Parish Priest and village leaders started to toll the church bell as a protest to the move by the police. Large number of devotees rushed to the church and started opposing the police action. Church authorities and the public warned the police that they would take a tough stand if the police disregarded their protest. The police thereafter abandoned their attempt to construct the police station and withdrew from the site taking all the building materials they brought with them. Pesalai is located along the main road between Mannaar-Thalaimannaar and comes within the Thalaimannaar police division. A police sentry has been functioning in Pesalai since 1991 with the strength of 25 personnel close to main business establishments and houses that are currently in the 'custody' of the police. The attempt to seize the Church land comes while the police had already failedto fullfill the requests from civilians to hand over their business places and houses. |

I shot this photo with an old 35 mm camera and used a nylon stocking to filter the lens for the shot to give it an aged or paint brush affect. This mansion is out in the country in Abbeville, SC and is said to be haunted. I loved to use Black and white film back then.

Preparing for Autumn ~ part V
What began as a seemingly straightforward refashioning project as part of my Preparing for Autumn list, is now turning into a sewing adventure of quite epic proportions... Laden with obstacles and suspense, false starts and digressions, animal sacrifice and self-mutilation.
Above: my beloved cape. Bordeaux wool, hooded, calf-length, bought almost 10 years ago from a 2nd hand shop in Portobello, and now, slightly decrepit and in desperate need of a loving overhaul.
The Plan: to unpick, re-cut and put the pieces back together as Butterick's 5222 Swing Jacket. This is a pattern I've had for years, but until recently I've not had the confidence to attempt such a garment, especially with unprinted pattern tissue and vague instructions. So it was with determined enthusiasm that, one quiet afternoon late last month, having unpicked and pressed my sections of cape, I began carefully unfolding the delicate sheets of pattern paper... Only to realise that everything save for the lining patterns were missing!
After a mini panic attack and a good week of traipsing the internet for a suitable replacement pattern, I finally came across these two on Etsy... Which of course didn't actually arrive for another two weeks (all the good patterns I find are Stateside). Eventually I settled on the McCalls (above, right), mainly because the sleeves are made from two pieces, making it a more efficient to cut while trying to get the most out of my limited, and already awkwardly shaped cape fabric. I also much prefer the welted pockets and rounded collar.
I think I must have spent two days at least placing and repositioning the pattern pieces, trying out all sorts of combinations to figure out how, and if, I could cut every piece with what I had. Turns out, I couldn't. But only just. All the major components are there - the fronts, the backs, the collar (upper and under), one sleeve... However, one sleeve back has been cut from two scraps sewn together, seam lines have had to be marked out as allowances have been compromised, and the front and sleeve facings have had to be cut from an entirely different fabric altogether.
So after all that, months of planning, days of perfect placing and problem solving... And then the morning I had planned to start cutting and finally sewing, things took a turn for the sinister... I woke up to this -
What can only be described as an offering, a sacrifice perhaps - a perfectly beheaded mouse neatly sprawled on my pattern paper. And two proud looking cats, preening each other and purring as if to say, "No really, don't thank us. It's our pleasure. Just like the time we left those toads in the kitchen for breakfast. Or when you found that mouse, still twitching, at the foot of your bed. We do it because we love you." Brutal, savage creatures (said quite proudly).
My son found the decapitated-mouse-in-mama's-studio hilarious, and I think he's finally starting to gain a little respect for our cats.
But the poor mouse wasn't the only one to suffer in the making of this jacket. A slip of the hand with a rotary cutter and I carved myself a nice gash in my middle finger.
Seeing my Swing Jacket begin to take shape makes this whole process feel incredibly worthwhile. This is by far the most challenging sewing project I have ever embarked on, and there have been many moments that I have taken a step back and wondered if I might be getting a little ahead of myself. But I think that about almost every project I start, doubting myself and the skills I have sought out, acquiring only through practical experience. And 9 times out 10, I surprise myself and come away with renewed confidence.
So, without speaking too soon, so far, so good... But who knows what the next stitch has in store...
vintage pattern,
5 comments:
I will never forget putting away folded laundry to find a very flat mouse stashed away at the bottom of the pile. Think my mouseketeer was saving it for a snack. Having kept cats all my life, I've sadly seen more than my share of decapitated mice, lizards, birds and a pet gerbil!
But I digress, I love the whole 40s-50s vibe of your project. Housekeeping books from the era are full of suggestions for refashioning last years clothes into something new. From what we see already it looks like its going to be great.
Interestingly I just purchased a 70s swing coat pattern because it looked so much like a 50s coat, its actually almost identical to your McCall's pattern, has an enormous stand up collar though!

This year, do as much as you want or nothing at all and still have a great time. Join thousands of other students in this tropical paradise to party in the thatched roof beach bars on your Jamaica Spring Break 2016.
All you need to know about Jamaica
Jamaica is the third largest island in the Caribbean and is located about 90 miles south of Cuba and a 1 1/2 hour plane ride from Miami, Florida. It is about the size of Long Island, New York stretching for over 146 miles from east to west and 51 miles from north to south. As a small country it really has it all: beaches, mountains, forests, rivers, mangroves and cities. The two tourist areas we sell are Montego Bay and Negril. Montego Bay is on the North central coast and Negril is 47 miles away on the Western tip of Jamaica.
Jamaica enjoys a year round warm climate with daytime temps in the mid-80's to low 90's F. Evenings are generally cooler and comfortable with temperature�s in low 70�s. The sun is extremely strong and protection is highly recommended. The rainy season is in May and October. During February, March and April you will rarely encounter bad weather. Dress is very casual, so pack lightly!
Time Zone
Jamaica is in the eastern time zone but does not participate in day light savings. For example, during Spring Break it is the same time in Jamaica as it is in New York.
English is the official language in Jamaica. Although everyone speaks and understands English, Jamaicans speak a dialect known as "Patois," a creolized or abridged version of English which might be hard to understand to most first time visitors. Most Jamaicans will be happy to teach the average tourist a thing or two about "speaking Patois." Not to worry though. There really is no language barrier in Jamaica.
The Jamaican dollar is the only legal tender, though prices are often quoted in US dollars, which are widely accepted. The current rate is about $J9
5 = $1US dollar. Hard cash can be used but your best bet is to have US dollar traveler's checks. All major brands of traveler's checks and credit cards are accepted in Jamaica. You can exchange money at banks, licensed exchange bureaus (called Cambio�s) or hotels, though the rate at hotels is usually 2% to 5% below the bank rate. Do not exchange all of your money when you get to Jamaica. It�s best to exchange it as needed; you will lose money converting Jamaican dollars back to U.S. dollars when you depart Jamaica. Plenty of Jamaicans will approach you to change Jamaican dollars on the black market. This is illegal and the black market rate is usually only 5% better than the bank rate so why risk falling for a scam. Most restaurants and shops accept major credit cards. There are a few ATM machines available, but they run out of cash on the busier weeks of Spring Break.
As in any large resort area, Jamaicans rely on tips to survive. Please be sure to take care of the people who take care of you. These include waiters, bartenders and hotel maids. Some restaurants impose a 10% service charge on meals. Be sure to check your bill and ask if you are not clear.
What Should I bring with me?
If there are two words we use most often when asked this question, they are "pack lightly!" We like to remind people that they are only going for 1 week so pack appropriately. Remember, it is a tropical climate so there is no need for lots of warm clothing. Some important things not to forget: Important prescriptions, sunglasses, sunscreen, insect repellent, extra batteries and a camera. Leave anything valuable such as expensive jewelry or accessories at home. You won't need them on Spring Break so why risk losing them? Also, a reminder is to pack important stuff like passport, camera, prescriptions with you so you have it on the plane close at hand. If you do forget something you can always find almost anything you need on location.
Dress Code
Jamaica and especially Negril, doesn't really have a dress code. The laid back attitude also extends to what you want to wear at night. Shorts and a t-shirt is just fine! And the only reason we would recommend shoes is to protect your feet!
You can bring a hair dryer or radio and it will work the same as in the US. There is no need for any special adapters. The outlets are the same.
Calling Home
Everyone has a cell phone now days so check with your provider.
There is limited public transportation in Jamaica so most visitors rely on local taxis or mini buses for transportation. If you need a taxi, just stick out your hand and yell Taxi. Anybody will stop, but only vehicles bearing a red license plate are official taxis. The official taxi guarantees an insured, licensed cab and driver. Everything is negotiable in Jamaica, Taxis are no exception. Negotiate a price to your destination before you get into a cab. There are no metered cabs, and the driver sets the rate. Keep in mind that rates are higher late at night and for fewer people.
U.S citizens must carry proper proof of citizenship. Starting January 1, 2007 all U.S citizens traveling to and from the Caribbean, Mexico, Europe and Canada will be required to have a valid passport to enter or re-enter the United States.

Cave Rock routeI was kayaking when i came across Cave Rock. I immediately paddled back to my car, ditched the kayak, grabbed my gear and started hiking up the road with a buddy of mine. When we got down to the base i just sort of picked a line, traversed out and went for it. It felt like a .10d-.11a. I've been to quite a few climbing destinations and I prefer multi- pitch trad, but this single-pitch sport route is the the most beautiful thing I have climbed as of yet! photo by: Janey T.

When I woke, my ankles and wrists were tied to the rims of the bed. I desperately tried to turn around and leave, but the nurses told me the surgery had just finished and that I needed to rest. It was dark outside and the lone sound of the hospital generators felt very quiet. After twelve days passed, it was time to move out of intensive care. The doctor signed the chart and I was placed in a room whose floor became a bed for female patients. My assigned doctor saw me only once, and this gave me a sense of relief that everything must be well. Next door, the women told me, was my sixth grade math professor. She was a good friend of my parents' and I was told she jumped off of a balcony when the soldiers came. They took her son and tried to rape her. She decided to save herself by jumping. She survived, only to be taken to a hospital occupied by the very same aggressors she had tried to escape. All around me, they asked, "Why is her stomach so big?" |
Dr. Rose, a different doctor from the one I was assigned, was the only Serbian surgeon left in this hospital. He specialized in abdomen injuries and the rumor was that he performed miracles. They allowed him to conduct surgeries on wounded soldiers and in a sense, his gift became his prison. I could not stop throwing up and other patients around me were concerned. They said Dr. Rose would come to visit late at night and help me. He wore a white hat and was very tall. His monolithic appearance gave me a sense of safety. He was the first doctor that examined me more than once. He said I had sepsis and that all of the liquids I had been given remained in my belly. My first surgery had failed. My stomach was distended to the size of a five-month-old pregnancy. His hands pressed on in and the smell of vomit gave me false hope that this solved the problem. I was wrong. He asked for permission from his superiors to save me as I was not a soldier and he would be breaking the rules. He saved my life. I will always be grateful to him. The stretcher moved along the stairs. I promised a nurse I would give him a hundred Deutsch marks if he moved me out of the surgery room at once, |
where I assumed I would no longer feel pain. The incision was made along the same cut as my first surgery. Dr. Rose said, "They missed closing a three millimeter hole in her intestines." This was the cause of my sepsis. Dr. Rose washed out my kidneys, ovaries, and intestines three times in surgery. Snake-like tubes grew and moved in and out of every part of my body, causing me to lose too much blood. He said I needed fresh blood that was still warm to help my immune system fight and survive. My parents alone would not be able to give enough. It is difficult to find people in a city that is slowly being killed. All forms of communication were cut off. We were one of only three Bosnian families left in the neighborhood. Learning how to hide was the only form of survival. My parents were able to find two neighbors who fought against the danger daylight brings, who walked the streets to the hospital to donate blood for me. In war, risk becomes life. |
The first donor was a Croatian woman. Her son was in the Croatian Army and her humane desire to help me threatened her own life. The other was a Serbian man, who was a best friend of my uncle. I will never forget either of them. I begged and pleaded "Please, never do this to me again," hoping that the bed would swallow and protect me when Dr. Rose examined my wounds, four times a day, every day, for twenty days. The intensive care unit was my permanent residence. My head looked down at the surface of my stomach only to witness with every stitch the gauzed up scissors disappearing in and out of my abdomen, again and again. Twisted and turned, he checked every single wound in my body. I only hope never to know this type of pain again. I knew if I died they would bury my body in Mostar and I would be forever at peace. See following page for more on the Bosnian War. |
The Bosnian War followed the breakup of the Republic of Yugoslavia. Mainly a territorial conflict, the war, which lasted three years, from 1992-1995, was fought between various religious and ethnic factions. Some calculations place casualty figures in the hundreds of thousands. For more go here. To be continued in a fortnight... |

Dr. Patrick Deane, President and Vice-Chancellor
238 Gilmour Hall, McMaster University
1280 Main St. West
Hamilton, ON
Dear President Deane,
We — the librarian members of the York University Faculty Association — write in support of the librarians and archivists at McMaster University. In particular we express our grave concern over the recent downsizing of professional staff, the casualization of labour at McMaster University Library, and the recent comments from Jeff Trzeciak, the University Librarian, diminishing the value and future of librarians at McMaster. Such comments provide clear evidence of a highly uncollegial and unsupportive work environment. We have previously written indicating our distaste for the organizational restructuring that led to the creation of new positions quickly deemed irrelevant and the subsequent firing of two highly respected senior colleagues. As new and even more worrisome issues grow increasingly apparent, we are compelled to write again.
While we recognize and embrace a need for other kinds of skills and specializations in academic libraries, they should not come at the expense of professional expertise that has taken many years to assemble. Such disregard is particularly troubling coming from an administrator at an institution of higher learning, which should have the highest regard for knowledge, specialization, and expertise
Even more crucially, changes to staffing models should not come at the expense of academic freedom. We are deeply troubled by the casualization of labour involved in replacing full-time positions with precarious contract positions. Non-librarian/archivist employees in limited term contract positions do not enjoy the academic freedom or the background and systemic awareness required to express new challenging ideas or disagreement over the strategic directions or priorities of the Library and consequently the quality of internal debate and the imaginative possibilities of the library system as a whole will suffer as a result of an increasingly centralized, hierarchical orthodoxy
While change is certainly needed as we approach the challenges and opportunities of the twenty-first century, it is critical that the professionals charged with preservation and stewardship of our academic and cultural heritage be at the forefront of any sustainable renewal and planning process. A university librarian, much like a dean, is not a CEO, but a collegial partner in collective governance of a public institution. Change cannot be effectively managed in a highly charged and hostile work environment. Note that the McMaster Health Sciences Library, the one not administered by Mr. Trzeciak, managed to absorb budget cuts without rancor or losing staff.
The reputation of McMaster's Library is suffering as a result of the actions of its University Librarian. For instance, see the recent article by Ian Brown in the Globe and Mail, where Mr. Trzeciak's vision was openly dismissed. One only has to take a quick look at library-related blogs and social media to see that McMaster University Library is quickly becoming known amongst librarians as a rogue institution. Nor does your Library seem to provide a supportive environment for grassroots innovation from librarians and archivists. Innovation appears to be only permitted from the top down. Such a reputation does not bode well for future recruitment of excellent librarians or post-docs. We also suspect that retention of your current librarians and archivists–highly respected by their national colleagues–will become an increasingly large issue for your institution. No-one could blame them for looking elsewhere, given the climate Mr. Trzeciak has created.
We are also disturbed by the recent agenda-setting "Future of the Academic Library Symposium" organized by Mr. Trzeciak, which initially had only three female speakers out of a possible 21 on the program and no front-line librarians or archivists. Such inequity would be unrepresentative and egregious in any context but considerably more so in this instance as, according to CAUT statistics, 73% of academic librarians in Canada are women. The issues raised by this symposium might seem distinct from the concerns raised above, but we connect this inequity of gender to the obvious inequity of recent labour practices at McMaster University Library. We see voices being silenced: the voices of professional librarians and archivists and the voices of women. The message from this symposium and from the overarching ideological agenda espoused by Mr. Trzeciak is that the future of libraries is controlled and dictated entirely by library administrators. Male library administrators.
In the wake of all of the above, we were particularly troubled to learn that Mr. Trzeciak's most recent review and reappointment occurred without the input or involvement of MUALA or indeed any of the librarians at McMaster–the people in fact best positioned to evaluate a library director's performance.
This letter has been unanimously endorsed by the librarian members of the York University Faculty Association. The YUFA executive, representing all our faculty and librarians, has also publicly expressed its support for McMaster librarians. We continue to monitor the situation at your institution and continue to advocate for the rights and responsibilities of archivists and librarians at McMaster, believing as we do that our responsibilities for, and commitment to, the preservation of Canada's scholarly and cultural heritage transcends the boundaries of our own institution and extends across them all.
Walter Giesbrecht,
Union Steward
On behalf of the librarian members of the York University Faculty Association

Discover your family's story.
Enter a grandparent's name to get started.
As knowledge of the traditions, manners, and national traits of the Indians, composing, originally, the six distinct and independent tribes of the Mohawks, Tuscarora, Onondagas, Seneca, Oneidas, and Cayuga; tribes now merged in, and known as, the Six Nations, possibly, does not extend beyond the immediate district in which they have effected a lodgement, I have laid upon myself the task of tracing their history from the date of their settlement in the County of Brant, entering, at the same time, upon such accessory treatment as would seem to be naturally suggested or embraced by the plan I have set before me. As the essay, therefore, proposes to deal, mainly, with the contemporary history of the Indian, little will be said of his accepted beliefs, at an earlier epoch, or of the then current practices built upon, and enjoined by, his traditional faith. Frequent visits to the Indian's Reservation, on the south bank of the Grand River, have put me in the way of acquiring oral data, which shall sub-serve my intention; and I shall prosecute my attempt with the greater hope of reaping a fair measure of success, since I have fortified my position with gleanings (bearing, however, solely on minor matters of fact) from some few published records, which have to do with the history of the Indian, generally, and have been the fruitful labor of authors of repute and standing, native as well as white. Should the issue of failure attend upon my effort, I shall be disposed to ascribe it to some not obscure reason connected with literary style and execution, rather than to the fact of there not having been adequate material at hand for the purpose.
