Are you impatient? Do you know anyone who's impatient? Know somebody who just hates to wait in line at the bank or post office, or maybe can't stand shopping around the holiday season just because of the long lines?
There are impatient artists too. These are people that, one day pick up a camera, a paint brush, a sculptor's chisel, and expect greatness to happen. They have no tolerance for mistakes. They want to do shows, shows, and more shows, without focus on their craft. They expect to be able to churn out beautiful work immediately.
Being impatient must be kind of hard, but there's something extra nagging about an impatient artist. For example, I've been a photographer for the better part of two decades, I've spent years learning how to focus my camera, properly expose my shots, get the pictures I want. Yet, sometimes, when I work with beginners, they seem to demand they get "better" shots right away. They expect perfection. They want a masterpiece to come out each and every time they pick up that camera. Like music, visual artists need to learn to pay their dues. You wouldn't expect to learn the play the violin overnight, so why do you expect the camera to work that way.
Many of the great photographers whose work you can now enjoy on the web have spent years devoted to their craft. They've spent hours in the studio setting things up, learning as much as they can about lighting, about focus, about color, lines, gesture, perspective, and the like. With today's digital cameras, everybody expects some kind of perfection right off the memory card. The trouble is, those things are still there-even in the digital realm. You still need to have proper lighting (or work with the light that you have) you still need to know all about color, lines, gesture, perspective, scale, and you need to study these things. Taking a few snaps and expecting it to just come out in the wash is simply not enough if you really want to get to the next level as a photographer. The same is true for any medium. I'm not an expert sculptor, never have been and probably never will be. But I don't expect to be able to just pick up a chisel and carve a slab of marble into the next great statue overnight either. There's a lot of hard labor, work, and devotion that needs to go into the craft, before you can reap the rewards.
So, if you're an impatient artist, you might want to take a step back, and rethink some of what you're doing. Take your time. Spend more time learning, really devote yourself to your craft, don't just gloss over something and expect results.
Just because it's digital, doesn't make it fast. Slow down, learn, do, grow a bit before you start expecting results.
Until next time...

The Impatient Artist

Well, if Van Gogh had taken a more patient, contemplative, methodical approach to his work, he may not have painted at all. And he probably wouldn't have sliced his ear off either. I take your comments with a grain of salt. There is a long history of madness and impulsivity in the arts. Regarding the issue of working and evolving one's skills, I recall a quote by one of Timothy Leary's colleagues (and one of the early chemists involved in LSD research), "Creativity is 10 percent inspiration and 90 percent perspiration."
Love the photo, by the way. : ) - 2:19 PM

Thanks, Mythos!
I get what you mean about there being a history there and there's nothing wrong with being impulsive, but I see a lot of younger folks today wanted instant results. The only thing instant is mashed potatoes and even they take 90 seconds in the microwave.
I'm sure that Van Gogh spent countless hours learning how to draw and paint, even if he did not like to admit it. Sure there are artists who are scatterbrained, many who get the sudden urge to create and "just do it" but this comes after a long period of evolving one's skills. Those who practice can learn to be impulsive, just as those who practice music a lot can learn to improvise. In some ways, the more you practice, over the course of time, the better you can improvise when put on the spot, like with a jazz musician and a live performance. But, it can take years of practice (behind the scenes) to be able to improvise like that.
I don't know the right answer but it's an interesting topic and one I will have to explore some more at some point.
Thanks for you comment. - 6:10 PM

I agree with you completely, Carol, and the comparison with jazz musicians is absolutely spot on. I don't enjoy that 'intellectual' jazz but my husband does so I've been to a few concerts and listened to what's going on - not enjoyed it, but listened. What I hear is that these improvisational musicians, just doing stuff on the spur of the moment, have an enormous amount of theory and musical knowledge and understanding behind them - they understand chord progressions and harmonies and they know, instinctively by now, what will work and what won't. I wonder if this impatience you talk about is a product of our times - people with no talent go on TV talent shows. They don't want to practise their craft and become great, they just want the instant adoration. (Thankfully they are balanced by the ones who have practised and are truly on their way to greatness!) I also wonder if attention spans are becoming shorter as so many things are available to us in 'soundbites'.
- Todge said...
Madness and impulsivity have nothing to do with impatience as you've outlined it.
You don't become good at anything without practice. Chronic impulsivity won't lead anywhere. Once you have the chops, you can be impulsive, because you have the skill. - 2:42 PM

It's not a little ironic that BBC4's Exquisite Cuisine season should have kicked off in the same week that the Office for National Statistics revealed that, much as we enjoy watching Jamie and Heston strut their culinary stuff, or deriding a poorly turned quenelle by a perspiring Masterchef contestant, back on the sofa most of us are chowing down on ready-made garlic bread.
Still, I don't suppose that Alan Davidson, the subject of documentary The Man Who Ate Everything, would have taken too dim a view of contemporary British eating habits. In The Oxford Companion to Food – Davidson's lifetime achievement, a labyrinthine encyclopedia of all things comestible that would have made Diderot proud – garlic bread doesn't actually get an entry. But, since it takes in Spam and lollipops as well as aardvark and Mekong catfish, it's unlikely to be out of gastronomic snobbery.
Art critic Andrew Graham-Dixon (two parts Stephen Fry, one part Kevin McCloud) made a genial, if partisan, guide to Davidson's life and work. The man himself, a British diplomat whose zeal for food became a second career, died in 2003, but the film gave an impressively full sense of an open, curious nature and wry sense of humour, with its collage of interviews with family, friends and fans, some choice excerpts from the Companion (not everything tastes like chicken – aardvark is reminiscent of pork, we learn), and interview clips including a TV appearance on America's Martha Stewart Show.
I'm not usually a fan of foodie telly; visual and verbal description can only come close to rendering how a thing tastes. But Davidson treated food as a kind of language. As much as he appreciated the essence of food, it was his grasp on its potential as a window on history, geography, etymology, biology and human nature that earned him the Erasmus prize and the ardent admiration of readers. Thankfully, the form and content of the programme took their cue from its subject, so shots of Graham-Dixon scoffing were kept to a minimum.
I wasn't too convinced by the presenter's foray to Laos, where he attempted to illuminate what he considered a pivotal moment in Davidson's understanding of the relationships between food, place and culture. Certainly his diplomatic posting there left Davidson with a penchant for mandarin-collared shirts, but his understanding of the cultural significance of food might just as easily have been shaped in London. And if a touch of exoticism was only the catalyst for Davidson's oeuvre, Graham-Dixon ought not to have fallen into the same trap. Ultimately, it seemed like an excuse for the tired "journey" trope that too much TV takes as a sine qua non.
The tender elegy that one of Davidson's daughters recited at his funeral suggested that his children were happy beneficiaries of his obsession, but I wonder if there are support groups for less fortunate families of foodie wannabes who take themselves off to France to learn how to cook "proper French food". In Fat Man in a White Hat, The New Yorker journalist Bill Buford hauled himself and his brood across the Atlantic for just that purpose.
Buford is an award-winning writer, but he talks as if he's delivering the voice-over on a trailer for a Sylvester Stallone movie, and each of his over-emphasised words felt like a steak mallet falling on my head from a great height. It didn't help that most of what he was saying was of the predictable "French people are real passionate about food!" variety.
Revealing that he was thinking of staying on in France in order to master haute cuisine, he confessed, "I want to prove something and I'm not sure I can." In the few days we saw him try his luck as part of the crack team in Mathieu Viannay's kitchen, he couldn't get up in time for the 8am start, so I'm not too confident either, Bill.
Alan Davidson said that he was more interested in adding to our knowledge of the lesser-known indigenous cuisines of Africa or South America than in the already scrupulously documented gastronomy of France. Potential Bill Bufords, take note.

Quad's Nano intro brake needs careful setup but it's cheap and new pads have added an impressive amount of power. It's early days, but they're lasting well too, making it even more of a bargain.
The master cylinder uses a contemporary radial design. The crooked lever is only attached on one side, but is reasonably ï¬rm under ï¬ngers. The calliper gets a ï¬xed hose exit angle, but it's single piece rather than two bolted halves, making it impressively light.
Limited pad retraction means getting the calliper aligned accurately is crucial to stopping rub, squeal and binding when conditions get dirty. Extensive bedding in is vital to overcome low initial power levels but new pads on our latest sample made it signiï¬cantly more powerful than previous versions we've ridden.
In fact the steeply rising torque rate through the pull was almost enough to stop the dyno, and you need to adjust to the noticeable progression of power for a given lever pull in slippery conditions.

I'm a pretty law abiding citizen when I drive any motor vehicle: I don't speed, drive drunk, or run red lights.
But, like most people, I sometimes make mistakes.
Unfortunately Penn State is extremely keen on benefiting from these mistakes, as anyone who has ever been a minute or so late to their car only to see a neon orange parking ticket stuck to their windshield will tell you. Let's be honest, meter maids have a sixth sense when it comes to ticketing.
However, it is now easier than ever to pay those tickets and fines — Penn State is now accepting credit cards and LionCash for payment.
These methods are vastly more convenient than their previous "cash only" policy, and can be used for more than just fines. Parking passes and permits are also now available for purchase with either plastic card of your choice.
Penn State is also looking into the future, and currently has a plan to introduce an online parking system, including fancy new gadgets like automated parking meters. This would definitely be handy in avoiding any nasty tickets, regardless of how easy it is to pay them now.
You can get parking passes and pay your fines at the Eisenhower Parking Deck, and to find more creative ways to spend your hard earned LionCash, check out our post.

I made a ton of lady bug cupcakes for the guest, which I did one time in the past for a Very Hungry Caterpillar Cupcake Event.
Let me pause for a minute and say I love this cupcake holder, it's so deep that the icing actually stays in tact for cupcakes like this, thanks Taylor!
I also made a baby cake for the birthday girl. I decided to go with pink icing b/c I could see red icing being a problem if she ate with her hands, which most one year olds do....ahhh....those were the days!
I added one of the cake balls to the top that I posted about last week. I bagged these up for the favors they put together for the party.
Last up.....ladybug pretzels-I blogged about the process to making these here. The one tip I'd administer, mostly to my future me, is to go ahead and buy chocolate covered pretzels. I didn't last time, but I was making fewer bugs on that occasion. This allows one less dipping (which can be a little labor intensive if given the time).
I was able to just melt the red chocolate, and a LITTLE milk chocolate to make the dots. I skipped the eyes this time....it just creeps me out a little when they are little eyes.

Catfish Test Prints
Teally-blue made up of thalo blue, thalo green, white and base.
A failed print, but it gives me an idea for another colorway: ocre on grey.
An ocre test print.
And another one.

Ok, I Like This One
I'll probably change something while I'm carving it, but I like this combination. Balance black and white, not too fiddly, and the head is clear.
Bill asked me last night, "How are you doing these?" ;-> Paint Shop Pro of course. ;-j. The catfish on the block is currently solid black and I'm just using the erase feature to "draw" the white areas. Just like a monoprint. ;-]
Carving away. ;-]
Looking like this.
And this. About time to see how it prints.

paleo-catfish wip
Friday, September 19, 2008
I'm not sure which way it's supposed to go yet, but I'm leaning toward the top one. I drew the bottom one. I used the body from my dolphin block and a cat head. I still need to marry the two better. I like the mouse. Maybe he's a real mouse that wanders into the cave and is looking at the catfish.
Don't know the size yet either. I have 4"x6" and 6"x8" blocks. Or I could do something else. It was just time to work on a new paleo-critter.
I enlarged the body a bit. Still fiddling with it.

While I was rambling, it seems that others have responded first... But at least I gave a different example of why it's useful -- there are a lot of reasons...
You make data members private to preserve consistency of state. This matters. It matters a lot. You also do it to allow the implementation of a subclass to differ drastically from that of the base class: This is called "abstraction", and it's a big part of the reason why we bother doing OOP at all. So let's take those two in order:
Say for example you've got a class which represents a list of strings. You've got an interface for that class: A count of the number of strings you've got, a number which says how much memory you've got allocated1, and you've got a pointer to the storage: We'll assume for the sake of simplicity that it's an array of pointers to your favorite string class.
Okay. Take for example that number which tracks the size of your array. Assume that some genius comes by and changes it without reallocating (this could be you two weeks later, or even at 3:00 AM the following morning). Okay, you crash. But not always. Bugs like that are a bitch to track down, because you won't crash consistently. Sometimes it'll be a problem, sometimes not; you may get away with using the next few bytes off the end of your array, but when you call realloc() they won't get dragged along with the rest. It's a mess. Don't go there.
The same goes for the data member tracking the number of strings you've got: If it says "five", and you change it to "six", your code will eventually try to call member functions on an object that doesn't exist: p5->size(), for example. You're in trouble again.
In inline function in C++ incurs no overhead, unless it's a virtual (but if you need it to be virtual, you need a function anyway, so you're stuck). Use them.
Of course, there are some public data members which can safely be changed by the "user" -- but which is which? Here's a way to make it easy: If the "user" shouldn't touch it, hide it.
Okay. Now let's assume that you've got code here and there which uses your string list class. You've got other lists of strings which you might like to interact with also, but they can't be stored in that list thing: Say you've got a GUI widget such as a list box. Well, it's got a list of strings, hasn't it? How many sets of functions do you want to write to do the same thing to different classes? My answer is, "one". All lists of strings should have the same interface if at all possible. It's less code to write, less hassle to deal with.
So. Let's say your string list class has an abstract base class (no data members at all, just a pure functional interface, without even bodies for most of the virtual functions (In C++ a bodiless virtual function is called a "pure virtual function") ). If that's the case, you can make one subclass which contains the above-described list of pointers to string objects, and another subclass which provides an interface to the guts of a list box widget. You can interact with both in exactly the same way, using the same code: Just declare a pointer to the abstract base class. Java provides a similar and somewhat simpler feature called "interfaces"2.
The above list/widget example is taken from Borland's VCL library, shipped with their Delphi and C++ Builder products. It's a neat idea. It's the first example that sprang to mind, but there are dozens of others.
In a nutshell: If you don't know why you should use abstraction, you don't know object oriented programming and you don't know C++. This is generally true of all C++ features: If you can't see why on earth anybody would bother, trust me, you're missing something important. This is the same as making the transition to C from an unstructured "goto language" like Basic: Functional decomposition seems kinda silly at first. It really looks like gratuitous rigamarole until you begin to grok. Then grokking happens, and you wonder how you could ever have done it any other way. So it is with OOP.
I recommend learning: It's enormously fun stuff.

Tropical Fish Keeping - Aquarium fish care and resources
- Fish Breeding
- - Crossbreeding Question/Fun ideas
Crossbreeding Question/Fun ideas First things first, I'm not planning to buy fish to crossbreed and sell any crossed fish to a store (unless a freak occurrence happens and it's gone through several successful generations by chance then heck yes I'm making some money, who wouldn't? lol). The questions are just for my personal knowledge and curious mind, as well as anyone else out there whos mind likes to roam their imagination. Is complete crossbreeding impossible? To better explain I'll use some examples. By complete crossbreeding I mean literally a cross from one thing to another, not cory+cory or pleco+pleco but things like pleco+cory or gupy+cichlid. AH AH AH!...don't start saying impossible just yet.. For curiosity sake I'm talking serious business (possibly fun fantasy business), like the president of the united states pours all the funds into scientific breeding research to cross something you say is "impossible". Say they take the sperm of a Common Pleco and insert it or fertilize eggs from a molly or a cory. Is it still impossible? Even by a mutation or rare once in a trillion year happening, like the pleco just runs over to the cory and mates with it and the corry accepts. Impossible does mean impossible...mankind DID think the earth was flat for a long time and it was "impossible" that it could be round. So when you say impossible I want you to reallllllly reallllly think about it. Being negative and saying it's impossible just sucks the fun out of it. You also have to think, somewhere down the genetic line, whether it be in prehistoric times or not, a fish HAD to cross breed with something today you would say was "impossible" to get such an enormous amount of species on this planet. So to sum this all up the question will be... If someone purposely went out into the world to crossbreed a fish..money, laboratories, the person has any means of accomplishing this, can they? (Just keep in mind before you put your answer...we can grow human ears in/on a rats body so the possibility is probably there to cross a few unlikely fish). |
Idon't see a reason not to but it would be odd. I would think to see more success with same family but different species but I bet some would could take a pleco sperm cell and put it with ram eggs and see what hatches |
I think it would be wonderful, I'm a oddball lover lol. I like prehistoric looking fish, or the strange ones. Plecos, mostly the common because of its eventual size, are my favorite. Besides, if someone could make a new breed of fish all on their own, the first X amount of fish sold could bring in some nice money for them to further their hobby. I think an awesome cross-breed would be a common pleco with a Bala shark, say it keeps the plecos looks except it has the balas shape, and it actively swims around mid-level rather then usually hiding or lower-level. The skin at first would probably be a brownish-grey mix possibly with the balas dark tipped fins. Possibly some would turn out darker. Most likely would be more aggressive then a common pleco. Then, once that species has been established strictly with its own kind (as in there are males and females from 2 different groups, then they will breed creating a 2nd generation, then a 3rd person will have a new group who makes the 3rd gen with the 2nd, and so on until it's all good.) you'll breed it with a banded rainbow (or jewel rainbow), because of its possible light coloration the offspring should keep the light color because the jewel also has light color, and hopefully for imaginations sake in all this, the offspring will have a very light rainbow-y tint to their scales. Thus you have created the first Rainbow Bala Shark Pleco Possibly naming it a Rainbow Pleco, Pleco Shark, Rainbow Pleco-Shark...or something along those lines. (My own imaginative thought process..since most of us don't have laboratories, would be to have a breeding tank, have a species of fish who lay eggs before or as their being fertilized, it IS possible to get the eggs before fertilization, I just imagine it would involve very good timing lol. Anyways once you have the eggs place them in a breeders net or container, as long as there is lots of water flow from the tank to the spot the eggs are (this is to prevent them from being eaten but also still able to be fertilized) next you'd put in a breeding pair of a different species that breed the same way, the eggs come out then the sperm hits them. That way, the sperm SHOULD also hit these other eggs...the last step is to hope for a miracle :D) |
It could only be between species. |
you could disect the fish to get the eggs and sperm but then you lose your fish. |
u can cross breed platys and swords and guppys and endlers but thatsa the only fish that i know will crossbreed |
I bet they all 4 would be able to cross breed, unless that's what you meant. In any case, perhaps when I get my one room moved around to fit a 150, I have a large old computer desk that has space for probably 2-3 tanks to sit on it so I may make an "experimental tank" and try to cross breed the fish you mentioned, as they are small and usually cheap, plus colorful and nice to look at. If they don't crossbreed oh well I've got some nice fish lol. |
Tose fish will cross breed by choice and you will still something not so unusual. I would want to see an cichlid and catfish cross breed |

Today we look at how to transfer .com domain names - the right way
Step 1 - Unlock the domain
Most domain registrars will lock a domain name when you purchase it for the first time. The reason for this is so it cannot be transferred without your knowledge so you can look at this as a good security measure. To unlock your domain name, simply contact the current domain registrar and ask them to unlock it for you. Depending on where you purchased your domain you may be able to login to your control panel and do this yourself.
Step 2 - Check the administrative email address
When you initially bought your domain name your registrar should have registered your domain under your own details. However, this is not always the case and they sometimes put themselves as the administrative contact. This is not a problem, when you start the transfer an email will be sent to this administrative email address asking them to approve the transfer.
Step 3 - Get your transfer code
This is now the important part, once you request the transfer (step 1 & 2) you will receive a authorisation code (auth code). Keep this code secret as you will need this. The authorisation code can be mixed case so it is important to copy it correctly.
Step 4 - Transfer the domain name
Now you have your authorisation code you can now move your domain name to another domain registrar. Simply go through the steps of registering a domain name and choose to transfer a domain, enter your authorisation code and you are all set.
Important items to note are that you have a short time (currently 7 days) before the authorisation code expires. If you do not register (transfer) the domain in this time window you will have to begin the process above again so if you are organised this should be straightforward.
If you are still pretty confused, companies like Pebble specialise in moving domain names, please contact us on 01733 902070 or email us via our contact form.

Adventures Of A Wall Street Samurai
The only breakout attempt of the day, this gapped up and spent the rest of the day selling off. Volume was too low to be earnings news, so I don't know why it gapped up, but it provided a nice opportunity for profit taking.

I stopped over, back in the spring, before her contractor had started any work. It was essentially a blank canvas for Kendra to make her own. She certainly knew what she wanted and I nodded in agreement with each sample that she pulled out. I left feeling jealous but insanely excited for her. What a fun project!
Needless to say, her choice of finishes turned out simply beautiful. The result is a perfect modern, white canvas with a few pops of color. You know how I love WHITE! The finishes are sleek and minimalist. She even had some simplistic, modern-lined furniture made and it turned out amazing. Everything feels warm and feminine next to its rich brown bamboo floors, huge shimmery, textured wall, and black ceiling.
She won't let me take full pictures just yet, as it will take some time before she accumulates artwork and accesssories that reflect her personal style. But here is a sneak peek!
A cute welcome to loft #12.
Custom glossy white cabinets with a PINK:) backsplash.
Industrial stairs with reclaimed wood treads.
Sharp black ceiling. Kendra wanted glossy black against the advice of her contractor,
but the result is stunning.
On a side note, Kendra needs advice on what to do here. She needs to cover the windows for privacy reasons but has no idea how to attach a curtain rod without damaging the beautiful wall covering.
Any suggestions?
More photos to come. Hopefully soon!:)

While i have not yet seen this I do believe it will happen. The south side brick and limestone work is coming along very nicely. Many of the widows have gone in as well. You can walk up and down hallway were there used to be wide open spaces. It is begining to feel more and more like an actual dorm where before the open spaces made you think it could be anything.
One of my new favorite things to be added it the slate roof. They just aren't that common any more and it is nice to see it go on. It gives Meier Hall a classic look instantly.

ServSafe study day
ServSafe is a national certification for food handlers. I have to pass the test before I can even register for pre-requisite culinary classes- my test day is December 8. I began studying for the test today- chapter 2 on pathogens is a toughie- but a lot of the stuff is common sense and/or interesting enough to remember.
I'm going chapter by chapter, making outlines, taking end-of-chapter tests, and doing pretty well so far. But the deeper I get, one thing keeps occurring to me: In the little local, seasonal cafe of my dreams, everything I want to do is illegal.
Real food, by federal SafeServ standards, is considered pathogenic. Here's the list of road-bumps so far.
-Real milk and cheese? Check. Real milk illegal in Michigan, but real cheese can be served after 60-days' aging. Unclear if I can make it in-house, though.
-Local, backyard/ community garden suppliers? May have to jump through crazy hoops for certification- especially with the new hyper-restrictive, over-legislated Food Bills (I'm looking at you, SB510) coming through. Check.-Garden or greenhouse out back? Probably- if it's not an "approved supplier"- Check. (I smell zoning troubles, too.)
-Worms to recycle kitchen waste? Likely considered vermin. Check.
-Making or handling "unusual" foods- you know, freaky stuff like lacto-fermented foods or on-site smoked meats- will require Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point (HACCP) procedures and will be a Giant Pain in the Butt.
So, blah.

The 10th Annual Weston A Price Foundation Conference-- my .02
When I sum up the WAPF in a single short sentence (to someone who's eyes are already glazing over), I usually say they promote pre-industrial foods and food systems.
For those who want more info about what the Foundation does, here a link to the WAPF home page.
Last weekend's conference was my first. It was truly fabulous to walk into a room full of real-food foodies-- attendance was about 1100. It was great to not get the blank stare (or alternatively, the look of terror) when waxing rhapsodic about fermentation and raw milk. And the meals were divine.
So- best parts of the conference were the food and my fellow attendees.
I doubt I'll attend again- but I'm glad I went at least once. It is really nice to know I'm not alone.

The Magical Stuff that Makes Blue Cheese Blue
(Best fungus ever)
This is the stuff, baby- Penicillium roqueforti. It came in the mail yesterday from Leener's and I'm thrilled to my toes.
When I get back from this weekend's 10th annual Weston A. Price convention (this year in Chicago!), I'm taking the plunge and making Roquefort. My mouth is watering just thinking about it.
Rajiv Shaw Named Head of USAID
Rajiv Shaw
USAID stands for the US Agency for International Development. That's the agency that oversees economic development, agricultural assistance, and famine relief in developing nations. The USAID states the three pillars of their mission are economic growth, agriculture, and trade. They are under the umbrella of the State Department, so Hillary Clinton is the big boss.
Shaw, who is only 36, had most recently been undersecretary and Chief Scientist at the Department of Agriculture under Tom Vilsack; he worked on food safety, climate, and energy. Before that he was an executive at the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. He was also the health care policy advisor to Al Gore during his presidential bid. His education is in medicine and health economics. By all accounts, he's brilliant.
However, the recent Big Ag-friendly, band-aid policies coming out of the US Dept of Agriculture certainly give me pause. And it can't go without mentioning: The Gates Foundation has close ties to Monsanto.
Certainly, filling this post is a good thing. It's been empty since the beginning of Obama's tenure, and the agency has apparently suffered for it. The Obama administration has stated that they are keen to make development a central tenet of foreign policy. The agency was formed in 1961, and word is, it's still run like a 1960's bureaucracy.
But I'm still concerned. US relief policies have far more to do with WTO-style economics than with actual, well, relief. It will be interesting to see if Shaw continues to carry the water of the WTO. I wonder if he has any choice in the matter, or if he even sees it as a choice to make.

Sauerkraut, Illustrated
I make sauerkraut about once a month, in cabbage season (about July through December). Traditionally, kraut is only made in the cooler months- but since I ferment at room temperature, I'm not constrained by weather.
I put up 15 pounds for fermenting yesterday; here's the blow-by-blow:
First, I quarter and core the cabbages. I like to quarter first because it makes coring easier.
Next, I weigh the quarters. Typical kraut-to-salt ratio is 5 pounds of cabbage to 3 tablespoons salt. Be sure to use canning salt, not table salt.
Shredding is next. Yes, it takes a long time, but this shredder works great.
It's a Japanese "Super-Benriner" shredder- fabulous artwork on the box.
Here's the first 5 pounds shredded in the crock. It goes nearly to the top. I shred 5 pounds at a time, add the 3 tablespoons of salt, then stomp away.
Here's my kraut stomper. It's about the size of a baseball bat, but flat on the business end. I found this stomper in an antique store last year, but you can get them new from Lehman's.
Stomping is absolutely the most important step of making kraut. If you don't stomp it, you'll just have salty shredded cabbage. I stomp for at least 20 minutes per 5-pound batch. I stomp until it sounds really squishy and looks translucent.
Here it is after it's been stomped. See how much the volume is reduced?
After all the cabbage is processed, "plate it and weight it" just as you would any lacto-ferment. While cabbage (especially freshly picked cabbage) does release a lot of it's own juice, it's rarely enough for the one or two inches of liquid you need above the plate. I usually add about two quarts of filtered water with 3 tablespoons of canning salt per quart- same ratio of salt you'd use in any fermenting vat. FYI, this vat is a 4-gallon vat. Some people don't spice their kraut, but I use garlic and juniper berries.
Be sure to cover the vat to keep out the critters and dust. I use a piece of clean muslin (it needs to breathe) and a rubber band to secure it. Store the vat in dim light or in the dark.
(After a couple of days mold will form on top of the liquid- and the mold re-forms every day or so thereafter. You must skim off the mold and add more brine as necessary. At room temperature, the vat is typically ready to eat in about two weeks. It will take longer if the room is cooler.)
I don't add any vinegar. Once you add vinegar (and heat if you're canning), the beneficial bacteria die. Instead, I store it in quart-sized canning jars in the fridge. If I had a root cellar, I'd store it there. But we eat it quickly, so storing is not a huge issue.

Now, there's always some cabbage left over- the finger guard that's supposed to let you get down to the nub of the vegetables doesn't really work for me. So I make cabbage soup. Typical Russian recipe, but instead of dill and marjoram, I use fresh sage and smoked paprika. Those two are such a great combo with cabbage and potatoes.
That's all there is to sauerkraut. It's a time investment- usually takes all afternoon- but it's so totally worth it.

Driving around the caldera
... whose sand came from the iron-rich rocks.
Moving right along, to make sure we saw as much as possible in the hours we had, we headed to the archaeological dig at Akrotiri. Akrotiri was a Minoan settlement, destroying in about 1600 BC by one of the huge volcanic eruptions. The settlement was destroyed, but much like Pompeii, was also well preserved. At present only about 3 percent of it has been excavated. But already the archaeologists have found that it ...
Naxos- The Antithesis of Santorini
... were out in force but I didn't see the one I called "soccer." Last night as we were walking home he was hanging out on the walkway staring down at his two small rocks. As I approached him he took a few steps and I kicked the rock to him, soccer style. He grabbed it, dropped and then backed up some more. At his went on for about five minutes or so until he had backed himself into a corner. Quite some fun as well as Billy and Jenny had a couple of good laughs ...
Winery Afternoon
... if you wanted 75 euro lobster spaghetti you could have had that!!! Haha Well we are all packed up and ready to head to Mykonos tomorrow. Our ferry leaves at 11:50 and it takes about 3 hours to get to Mykonos after stops at Ios and Naxos. We are taking one of the high speed ferris which will be nice. They big ferries are neat to sit outside with the view but they go very very slow. We are excited to visit Mykonos and enjoy our last Grecian isle! Good night! ...
Baklava for breakfast
... our days relaxing, eating, drinking, playing cards, sleeping, blogging, drinking too much ouzo over games of scrabble, researching and reading, watching people take their wedding photos (they were everywhere – mostly Asian), enjoying our balcony, taking walks to Fira, watching downloaded episodes of Walking Dead, and eating a bit more! On one morning we slept in and missed the hotel brekkie, I literally had baklava for breakfast on our balcony! In our 10 days we perfected ...
On the road again
... a large crater with small islands which I guess were remnants of the mainland sticking up out of the sea. Many hotels overlook the Caldera but we weren't worried that ours didn't as the view across the Aegean is just as nice and much quieter than the hustle and bustle of Oia.
Yesterday morning we met a couple of kiwis and, guess what, they were from Nelson. We had breakfast with them and spent two hours chatting. We exchanged emails, ...

Dollar Index:
Monthly chart.
My view is we are on our way back to the top of the wedge and we have
hit mid pattern congestion or are we headed back to the 76.40-77.20 zone
before higher.
Daily chart
Daily chart shows harmonic pattern setting up if we break this wedge to the downside with a measured move and fib target zone 76.20-40 where I would be a buyer
This tightening up in the dollar index is pretty clear in the major pairs with GBP the strongest vs the dollar with a break to the upside and NZD & just behind AUD as the weakest. EUR & CHF are in tight wedges setting up breakout trades
EURUSD daily
I like EURUSD long on dips to 1.3837 where I am a seller again
EURUSD hourly channel support
GBPUSD weekly - huge bullish week last week, on its way back to the top of the wedge, are people pricing in a UK rate hike now Posen has flipped? I am watching a retest of 1.60 to buy.
Cable hourly channel in play now
AUDUSD daily chart
After double bottom at the 50fib Aussie has held in the channel and rolled over. My downside targets for this bearish pattern are below parity at 98 if the 1.0250 level does not hold this time
Weekly chart bigger picture has Aussie in a bearish AB=CD from the 08 lows
NZDUSD weekly chart
(also bearish harmonic pattern) After weeks chopping around above 2008 highs back to 0.7978 support next looks most likely
USDCAD daily chart
My worst performing market, need to remove my own limits, it's been a long time since this market was trending, rangebound since the start of the year, buy the bottom & sell the top til it breaks.
USDCHF daily chart
Another wedge, there is a pattern here ... ;)
USDJPY daily chart
JPY has outperformed the dollar this week & month so far. April is seasonally end of year yen repatriation month. Starting to get that bull flag look which sets up a nice trade for down the road ...80.00 looks like such an easy buy level it got frontrun last time we got close, but my money says 79.50 & 78.30 are better levels.

I can't believe it's been an entire week since I last posted! I haven't had one creative blogging idea in my head for the past week. Nope, not a single one. When it comes to blog post concepts, my mind has been like a dry pool.
Just so no one thinks I have been a complete slug for the past 7 days - I have been coming up with crafty crochet ideas for my new Etsy shop. Queen B's Busy Work is up and running, and will have new inventory on display soon. My fingers have been furiously at work getting some start up merchandise ready.
But, apparently I have reached an age where I am only capable of being creative doing one thing at a time. And this past week it was crocheting and the store. Not blogging. So much for multi-tasking!

22-year old Jihad Anwar al-Habib was killed this morning "while performing a Jihad mission," according to Islamic Jihad's Al Quds Brigades.
Unfortunately, Islamic Jihad didn't describe the circumstances of his death. His face was mostly intact, though.
There was a large funeral for the mujahid in Gaza City.
The sheikh who spoke exhorted the crowd not to be fooled by the tricks and ploys of those who are calling for "popular resistance." He also reminded them that Habib's blood was not spilled in vain.
May many more jihadists follow precisely in his footsteps.

Old Baldy
Every year in summer, we travel to Holden Beach for our annual vacation. It's our favorite spot because of its proximity to both North and South Carolina beaches. We might spend a day in Wilmington, or we might travel south for shopping in Myrtle Beach. Two years ago, we spent the day at Bald Head Island after taking a ferry from Southport.
We climbed to the top of Old Baldy, and man, was it warm inside that lighthouse!
It was 9 degrees when we woke up this morning, and we're shivering! Oh, what we would give to be inside that lighthouse right now, even in the 90-degree weather.

I made another one of those Fluffy Stuffy Bunnies. The dress pattern is available now. There sure are some talented crafters out in blogland. I love that they share their patterns.
This bunny will accompany my February doll quilt, which is now quilted and bound.
Here's another crafter you must check out: Ayumi from Pink Penguin. This patchwork wristlet was made from her tutorial. She has several other clever tutorials and you'll love the way she puts fabrics together.
I got a new computer! No, not that ancient Mac above. That MacIIsi above was my very first home computer. It had a 40MB hard drive and 2MB of RAM. I paid $4,000 for it in 1991. Gulp. You can get a lot of computer for $4,000 now. My computer geek son learned on that machine 17+ years ago. Needless to say, he's surpassed me in technology. I hate to think of how many computers I've had in that 20-year span, but truly, what did we do without them?
I still use a Mac for my graphic design business and any drawing and drafting projects. I use a Windows-based laptop for everything else. I spent yesterday transferring files and loading software on my new laptop. It's running smoothly and doesn't sound like it's going to blow up like my old one.

SGBV is defined as "violence that is directed against a woman because she is a woman, or violence that affects women disproportionately." Of the 295 girls and young women Heshima Kenya has served since 2008, one-third of Heshima's cases are SGBV related.
The Doli Healing Project was held in May of this year and consisted of 16 classes held over an 8-week period. All participants were Congolese mothers between the ages of 15 and 20 who were struggling with the demands and responsibilities of motherhood. Participants were also seeking higher self-esteem and support for symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder, anxiety and depression.
Margaret participated in the Doli Project and demonstrated some very positive outcomes. Margaret was 18 years old when she fled violence and war in DR Congo. Her harrowing trek took her from the forests of Congo, to Uganda, and finally coming rest in Nairobi, Kenya. When she arrived, Margaret was able to locate her maternal uncle and began living with his family. While there, she became pregnant after being sexuality assaulted by a neighbor. Forced to leave her uncle's house because of the shame her unwed pregnancy would bring to her family, Margaret was devastated and without a home.
All this changed when Margaret found Heshima Kenya. She was referred to Heshima Kenya's Safe House and began to receive counseling, support, and medical care. She found safe and supportive community with the other girls and staff. And on November 11th, 2011 Margaret gave birth to a beautiful baby boy, Alex.
Margaret shares that her participation in the Doli Project was a challenging and an exciting opportunity. With the assistance of a consulting art therapist, she learned how to make the doll step by step, teaching her to be patient with the learning process. Margaret expresses that the Doli Project provided relief from thinking and worrying about her problems and her son Alex, and that she felt safe and supported surrounded by the other girls in the program. "Working on my Doli released stress and anxiety from my mind. I am so grateful, " she states.
As the Doli Project progressed, Margaret began to feel more confident and better able to relate to the other Heshima girls and to her child. Margaret also has gained new parenting skills, saying that she knows how to better hold and love her baby. Currently, Margaret is engaged with Heshima Kenya staff to prepare her for transition back into the community. Soon she will be reintegrated back into city and community life with her 10 month old son.
Margaret is very independent-minded and says she now has the confidence to pursue her dreams of becoming a very successful business entrepreneur.
It is support like yours that enables Heshima Kenya to provide therapy and other services to our young women in need. We thank you for your crucial support!

Arctostaphylos uva-ursi is small, woody, evergreen shrub native to Europe and parts of Asia. Also known as bearberry, the leaves of this small shrub have a history of therapeutic use dating back to the 2nd century. It has been widely used as an astringent and for urinary tract health. Uva-ursi has many benefits and, in particular, positive effects for those looking to lose weight.
The leaves of the plant are popular with herbalists and contain arbutin, hydroquinone and other chemicals that defend against harmful organisms. Uva-ursi also contains astringent-like tannins that shrink and tighten mucous membranes, and also reduces irritation.
Uva-ursi's Effect on the Urinary Tract
The hydroquinone derivative, arbutin, is the primary active compound that makes uva-ursi helpful for urinary tract health. When the stomach absorbs it, arbutin splits into a sugar and hydroquinone. The hydroquinone combines with glucuronic acid, creating a compound with astringent properties. When this is expelled from the body during urination, it soothes and reduces irritation of the mucus membranes, and helps fight infection.
Uva-ursi and Weight Loss
Neutralizing urine acidity and increasing urine flow has a side benefit in that it reduces bloating and water retention. This effect has also earned uva-ursi leaf recognition as having potential weight loss benefits. While the weight loss mechanisms requires monitoring, for water weight that won't easily come off, supplements containing uva-ursi are recommended.
Although losing water weight is not, by itself, a stand alone weight loss measure, uva-ursi has a role within an overall weight loss spectrum that includes other herbs, and can be beneficial.
Although uva-ursi is all natural and has been used for centuries, it should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breast feeding, and those with kidney disease or high blood pressure. Uva-ursi may also increase the effects of ibuprofen and other corticosteroids. It should also be taken as directed, as large amounts can cause nausea and vomiting.
The post Lose Weight Naturally with Uva-Ursi appeared first on The Sleuth Journal.

DAVAO CITY is the regional center for Davao Region (Region XI) and is considered to be the most important cities in the Philippines, the de facto capital of the island of Mindanao. It also has the largest land area in the Philippines, bounded by the highest peak of Mount Apo, Davao Del Norte in the north and partly on the east side, and Davao Gulf. Davao is an independent province though usually grouped with Davao Del Sur for statistical purposes.
HISTORYIn the early 18th century even before the Spaniards came there is already an existing community of Bagobos, Mandayas, B'laan, Mansakas, Manobos, Atas, Tagacaolos, Guiangan and the Moros. A group of expeditionary led by Don Jose Uyanguren came to establish a Christian settlement in the area and likewise built a small chapel and named Nueva Vergara in honor of Uyanguren's hometown in Spain. Davao was then ruled by a Moro chieftain, Datu Bago, who held his settlement at the banks of Davao River (once called Tagloc River by the Bagobos). After Uyanguren defeated Datu Bago, he renamed the region Nueva Guipozcoa, in honor of his home in Spain, and became its first governor. Uyanguren's efforts to develop the area, however, did not prosper.
Then in 1858, a military government was established in Nueva Vergara and was named the fourth district of Mindanao. Since then Nueva Vergara became known by its native name, Davao. According to the City archives, "Davao" was derived from the phonetic blending of the word of three Bagobo subgroups calling the hinterlands of the region as Davoh, Duhwow or Davau, and Dabu. At that time, the area already has 30,000 inhabitants and only 30% of the population was Christians. The economic condition of the people did not improve at all during the Spanish regime. There was no significant economic activity established during this period.
In 1903, Davao became a home to some Japanese migrant workers who contributed much to the economic advancement of Davao through the development of vast abaca plantations used in the processing of hemp. Other agricultural crops include coffee, rubber, and cotton. They had their own school, newspapers, an embassy, and even a Shinto Shrine. On the whole, they established extensive abaca plantations around the shores of Davao Gulf and developed large-scale commercial interests. Filipinos learned the techniques from the Japanese and later on agriculture became the lifeblood of the province's economic prosperity.
THE LAND Davao City has a total land area of 2,443.61 square kilometers and is considered as one of the largest cities in the world. It is a place blessed with natural advantages due to its fertile soil and the area is rich in non-metallic minerals.

Publisher's Description
▼▲Should the dissimilarity between Jesus and early Christianity or between Jesus and Judaism be the central criteria for the historical Jesus? Gerd Theissen and Dagmar Winter argue that the criterion of dissimilarity does not do justice to the single most important result of more than two-hundred years of Jesus research: that the historical Jesus belongs to both Judaism and Christianity. The two authors propose a criterion of historical plausibility so that historical phenomenon under question can be considered authentic so long as it can be plausibly understood in its Jewish context and also facilitates a plausible explanation for its later effects in Christian history. This book is a cooperative project between Dagmar Winter and Gerd Theissen and represents the fruit of many years of their research on the historical Jesus.

Which one do you think is easier to raise, a boy or a girl?

November 15, 2012 at 9:09 PM
Hell, I don't know! I have no girls, I love my boys(ages13 and two) and I gotta say, when you have a boy going through puberty and has meltdowns as bad as an overdramtatic female PLUS the tantrums of autonomy from the tot feeding off of each other....I actually texted my husband at work " UGH! I CANNOT RAISE THESE GIRLS BY MYSELF!" i like the rowdiness and sweetness mixed with both boys....but at least early on...girls kinda want to please thier mothers a bit. Boys are more interested in thier own thing from the moment they become mobile!
I'd say both genders have pros and cons....but if you had seen me in the kitchen this evening holding a thirty plus lb tot on one hip in tears and holding my teen against me with my other arm crying and snotting....watching tot pet big bro on the head, you'd go for girls!.....and less space between children!

He was a fine looking man, John.

The major difficulty is the pain of having to delete things that also tell the facts of his life, things that nobody wants, because old and outdated. Here is that with the loss of their loved one, they go even fragments of their lives. The picture I see, is like those that I've taken to keep something to remember.
