"There is a feeling that comes over me when I'm writing well. It is the same feeling I get from seeing a great painting. All my senses are engaged. The imagination runs free. Ultimately, it's an act of sharing."—Jan Greenberg
Jan Greenberg's books have been named an ALA Notable Book, a School Library Journal Best Book of the Year, a Booklist Editors' Choice, an IRA Teachers' Choice, and a Bulletin Blue Ribbon Book.
Since childhood, Jan Greenberg's life has been focused on art and writing, but it wasn't until the 1970s that she combined these two interests, eventually writing two important books on art for young adult readers.
While other children were playing basketball or computing complex mathematical formulas, Greenberg was reading and writing poetry and stories. Her favorite book was A Little Princess ("I must have read it 30 times").
Her interest in contemporary art was stimulated during her years at a private school in St. Louis, Missouri. The art educator from the local museum came each week to show films and slides of abstract expressionist artists such as Jackson Pollock.
After her marriage, Greenberg was surrounded by contemporary art. Her husband has a gallery, and at home their private collection was growing. Greenberg's interest in writing about art grew out of her desire to make the subject comprehensible to children: "I noticed that young children were open to contemporary art, but by the time they reached their teens, many didn't understand it. The Painter's Eye came out of my desire to help young people develop a language of art."
Together with a group of art educators, she developed a system of looking at art that could be used in the classroom. Out of this came both The Painter's Eye and The Sculptor's Eye, which Greenberg wrote with Sandra Jordan, a writer and photographer based in New York City. Each book includes interviews with the artists, full-color reproductions, and photos of the artists at work. Reference features include a glossary of art terms, list of museums, bibliography, and index in each volume.
Greenberg is the author of several novels. She teaches writing at Webster University in St. Louis, and is also an art educator who visits schools to give presentations about art and writing. She has three grown daughters and a bulldog named Jasper (for the artist, Jasper Johns).

Q&A with Berkley Magazine's deputy editor,
Sunday, 10 January 2010
The curtains have now been drawn for the deputy editor to present himself by giving soft answers to hard questions about the war online media has declared print media, and to reveal himself as a shoe collector unafraid of standing up against anyone who challenge him to a game of tennis.
Why have you joined Berkley Magazine?
Despite the plethora of men related blogs that can be discovered through a quick search on Google, Berkley Magazine has throughout the years managed to, with finesse and diligence, play a distinct role in leading the evolution of fashion blogs aimed at men. On board the team I hope to further assist in innovating fashion blogging but also talk Hassan – nicknamed Hair Man by one of our lecturers – into trimming his afro for the benefit of fellow classmates whose sight is occasionally blocked by the hedge of hair growing on his head.
How do you take the edge off life?
Whenever gaps in mine and my friends' schedules are aligned like the sun and moon during a solar eclipse, we summon at a tennis court where the victorious player of the day will return home with a headband soaked in sweat and a licence to boast until his ego inflate his head to the size of a beach ball.
How will the landscape of consumer media broaden this year?
2010 will be a pivotal year. E-book readers will co-exist with internet tablets and both will, along with blogs and magazines be subjected to the natural selection of me, you and everyone who enjoys reading. The fragmentation of media will at the end of the year have been reduced to a few strong players, eliminating any redundant electronic medium. Innovation will give birth to winners while losers who's precious money have been put into the wrong pot, will see their financial misery of year 2009 extend an additional 12 months.
Tell us about an obsession of yours.
Men are commonly content with two pairs of shoes – some can even live happily with just one lone pair on the shoe shelf. I however, have recently come to the realisation that my fast growing, and frankly unhealthy, obsession with loafers need to stop at the three pairs I have acquired in a short time span of 3 months. Until the rubber studs under the soles have been eroded to near extermination, all London retailers selling loafers should ban me.

This is a division of application Ser. No. 641,858, filed Dec. 17, 1975 now U.S. Pat. No. 3,989,778 which issued on Nov. 2, 1976.
This invention relates to the sealing together of sheets of thermoplastic materials, particularly to the sealing of selected areas of thermoplastic materials by radiant energy means such as lasers.
Many materials such as thermoplastic film, metal foil, and flattened thermoplastic tubing are manufactured in a sheet-like form and in order to form a useful product from the material it is necessary to seal the sheet-like material to itself or to a similar material. If the material is thermoweldable or heat fusible it may be sealed to itself or a similar material by the proper application of energy which raises the temperature of the material to its welding or fusing temperature. Thermoplastic sheets made from materials such as polyethylene, polypropylene, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, etc. are readily heat sealable or heat weldable; and, in the prior art, sealing or welding has been accomplished by pressing two sheets of thermoplastic film together between heated seal bars, by mechanically pressing the sheet together and applying radio-frequency energy, and by applying heated and compressed air blown through opposed nozzles to seal the material together. In addition to radio frequency energy, other sources of radiant energy have been employed to seal together thermoplastic materials. One such energy source is the laser described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,560,291 which issued on Feb. 2, 1971 to A. J. Foglia et al. The Foglia et al patent shows the bonding of thermoplastic resin films using radiation from a laser source. In another prior art disclosure, the laser welding of plastic tubes is described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,769,117 which issued on Oct. 30, 1973 to William Edmond Bowen et al. An additional application of laser energy to processing thermoplastic materials is a method of forming a tear line in a multi-layer laminate as described in U.S. Pat. No. 3,790,744 which issued to William Edmond Bowen on Feb. 5, 1974. However, in all of these prior art methods employing laser energy to seal thermoplastic materials, the energy is applied from one side only of the thermoplastic material with the result that the laser energy is absorbed in the layer of film nearest the source of energy. In this situation, little, if any, energy reaches the other layers of film so that the other layers are not molten and flowable to fuse into a secure seal. Accordingly, it is one object of the present invention to provide a method and apparatus for depositing equal amounts of energy in layers of film to be welded together.
Another deficiency in the prior art use of laser energy to thermoweld plastic materials is that when sufficient energy is applied to the layer nearest the energy source in order to quickly make a seal, such a deposition of energy will cause the layer to burn. Accordingly, it is another object of the subject invention to provide a method and apparatus by which thermoplastic materials may be sealed together without burning one of the layers.
The accomplishment of the foregoing and other objects will be apparent to those skilled in the art from the following Summary of the Invention and Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments.
In one aspect, the subject invention is a method of sealing thermoplastic materials together by providing a laser beam having a wave length which is readily absorbed in thermoplastic material, placing the areas of the thermoplastic materials which are to be sealed together in intimate contact with each other, splitting the laser beam into two components, and directing each of the beam components to impinge on a respective outer surface of the material whose surface is opposed to the area to be sealed. The beam may be split into two components so that the energy in each component is proportional to the thickness of the material upon which the respective component impinges.
In another aspect, the present invention is an apparatus for sealing together thermoplastic sheets in which the apparatus comprises the combination of a laser energy source for emitting a laser beam, a beam splitter for dividing the beam into two components, means for holding a selected area of two sheets of thermoplastic material in intimate contact, and, reflective surfaces for directing the beam components to opposed sides of the area of intimate contact so that one beam component impinges upon the area from a direction opposite to the other whereby the beam energy deposited in said sheets in the vicinity of the area causes the materials of the sheets to flow and fuse together.
In the drawings which are appended hereto and made a part of this disclosure:
FIG. 1 is a schematic representation of a preferred embodiment of the present invention showing the laser source, beam splitter, and reflective surfaces for directing the beam to opposed sides of two thermoplastic sheets of film which are to be sealed together;
FIG. 2 is a cross section of two segments of the film sheets shown in FIG. 1 and representations of the laser beam components are shown impinging on the film areas which are to be thermowelded together;
FIG. 3 is a schematic representation of a preferred means of clamping together the thermoplastic film sheets and shows a pair of gas jets with gas therefrom impinging on both sides of two vertical sheets of film which are being irradiated by the laser beam components in areas of the film which are held in intimate contact; and,
FIG. 4 is a representation of the cross-section of the two segments of film clamped together for radiant energy welding by the two beam components according to the present invention.
As used herein the terms lised below will be understood to have the meaning specified:
"Weld" means uniting by heating and allowing the materials to flow together where the materials are either plastic or metals.
"Welding temperature" means the temperature at which the particular material will flow and achieve a weld. When referring to thermoplastics, the welding and heat sealing temperatures will generally be used interchangeably.
"Radiant energy" is energy passed on or transmitted as electromagnetic radiation.
"Radiation" is energy emitted or propagated through space or a medium as waves or as particles. Common forms of radiation are light, X-rays, and gamma-rays.
"Laser" means light amplification by stimulated emission of radiation. The energy is electromagnetic radiation in the infra red regions of the spectrum and tends to be monochromatic with little beam divergence.
"Jet" means with a forceful stream of fluid or gas discharged from a narrow opening or nozzle and the spout or nozzle itself.
"Irradiation" means the application of radiant energy to a surface or article or the exposure of a surface to radiant energy or radiation.
"Beam splitter" means a partially reflecting mirror which will transmit a portion of a light beam and reflect the remaining portion.
Referring to FIG. 1, the preferred apparatus and method of the present invention will be described. Laser beam 2 is generated by CO2 laser energy source 1 and impinges upon beam splitter 3. The CO2 gas laser is preferred for use in thermowelding plastic materials as the photons in the beam generated by the laser have wave lengths which are readily absorbed in thermoplastic materials such as the copolymer of vinyl chloride and polyvinyl chloride commonly known as "saran", in the ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer, and in polyethylene.
Beam splitter 3 divides beam 2 into component 4 and component 5. Component 4 is reflected by totally reflecting surfaces or mirrors 6, 7, and 8 which are aligned at 45� angles with the beam 4 so that it will be reflected 90�. When beam 4 reaches thermoplastic film sheet segment 10 it is aligned coaxially with beam component 5 which is the portion of the beam 2 that was reflected by beam splitter 3. Beam components 4 and 5 impinge upon the respective film segments 9 and 10 as shown in greater detail in FIG. 2 where beam components 4 and 5 are shown directed upon focal point 11 which is the point of contact of the film segments 9 and 10 where a thermoweld or heat seal is desired. The energy which is deposited in the respective film segments 9 and 10 by the beam components 4 and 5 will heat the film rapidly to its flow or melt temperature so that the melt from each film segment will combine at 11 to fuse the segments together.
If desired, beam splitter 3 which may be a partially silvered mirror can be made so that it transmits either more or less than one-half of beam 2. Thus, if film segment 9 where thicker than film segment 10 it would be desirable that beam component 5 carry a greater proportion of the energy of beam 2 than does beam component 4.
Arrangements of the beam splitter and reflective surfaces other than the one shown in FIG. 1 are within the scope of the present invention. For example, instead of having the mirrors and beam splitter at the corners of a square, a rectangular configuration could be used. Also, the film segments or articles to be thermowelded together need not be placed between beam splitter 3 and mirror 8 but could as well be placed between mirrors 7 and 8, mirrors 6 and 7, etc. Furthermore, while a generally rectangular arrangement is preferred, a triangular arrangement can be used where mirror 7 is eliminated and the angle of mirror 6 and 8 are changed so that beam component 4 would be reflected directly across the diagonal from mirror 6 to mirror 8 in the square which appears in FIG. 1. In this case mirror 6 would be tilted so that it forms an included angle of 67.5� with beam component 4 so that the path of impinging beam 4 forms a 45� angle with the path of the reflected beam 4. The same angular arrangement would be made with mirror 8.
Turning now to FIGS. 3 and 4, a preferred means for holding or placing a selected area of each of the two sheets of thermoplastic material in intimate contact is shown. Sheets of thermoplastic material 9 and 10 are shown arranged vertically and the area A is the desired area of contact upon which laser beam components 4 and 5 impinge. Air jets 15 and 16 have slot jet orifices 13 from which compressed air 12 is directed against the area A in film segment 10 and jets 17 and 18 likewise have slot jet orifices 13 from which compressed air is directed against area A in film component 9. The compressed air is supplied to the jets by supply line 14.
In FIG. 4 the same film segments 9 and 10 are shown in exaggerated detail to beam components 4 and 5 impinging upon area A and the compressive force of the air 12 from the jets is shown pressing the two film segments together. The arrangement of the compressed air jets to place the selected area of the film segments in intimate contact is also referred to herein as pneumatic clamping means. This clamping means has distinctive advantages over the prior art clamping means in that no mechanical means is needed to clamp the film and interfere with the passage of the laser beam. For further information regarding the pnematic clamping means reference is made to my copending application Ser. No. 605,361 which was filed on Aug. 18, 1975 entitled "Clamping of Film-Like Material for Radiant Energy Welding" and which is now U.S. Pat. No. 3,997,385 which issued on Dec. 14, 1976.

The 19-year-old, who can play at centre-back or left-back, made his first-team debut for the Robins as a substitute in January.
"He has developed enough for me to be happy to put him on the bench," boss John Ward told the club's website.
"He has had the benefit of two years training with the first team, and that has helped him immensely."

Amal Neerad's 'Bachelor Party' is about a group of friends who decide to go on a journey together.
The camera is trained on a group of stern-looking men inside a movie theatre. Smoke and lights enhance the dramatic effect. The men are directed to glance at the door. The scene seems to be a build up for a heavy duty action sequence for Amal Neerad's latest film, 'Bachelor Party,' the shooting of which is on at Ezhupunna.
"'Bachelor Party' is about a group of friends who undertake a journey together. There are a couple of flashbacks and the story unfolds in a span of three days. Some long lost bonds are rekindled and new friendships blossom. The story unravels during the journey, but it can't be termed a 'road movie,'" says Amal, the young Turk of Mollywood who has directed films such as 'Big B,' 'Sagar Alias Jacky Reloaded' and 'Anwar.' His films got the attention of young viewers who were enchanted by the sumptuous visuals and slick narratives.
Behind the camera
Apart from producing 'Bachelor Party,' Amal will be handling the camera for the movie as well. "It has been a while since I wielded a camera for a movie. Friends of mine – Sameer Thahir, Shyju Khaled, Jomon T. John, and Satheesh Kurup – who assisted me during 'Big B,' are now well-known cinematographers in Mollywood. This is sort of a healthy competition with them, a competition in which I would have no hassles even if I were to lose it," he smiles.
There are rumours that the storyline of 'Bachelor Party' is similar to that of the Hollywood blockbuster 'Hangover.' But when Amal is asked about it, his reply is a smirk.
Tony (Asif Ali), Geevar (Indrajith), Benny (Rahman), Ayyappan (Kalabhavan Mani), Fakeer (Vinayakan), and Neethu (Nithya Menen) are the main characters in the story. Prithviraj does a cameo in the movie.
According to Amal, roping in stars for a multi-starrer wasn't a problem. "They are not bothered about their stardom. They like the evolution of the characters they are playing in the movie. There is some madness about this storyline and that attracted us to this script written by Unni R. and Santhosh Echikkanam," he says.
The artistes are ready to face the camera and the camaraderie is evident as the crew prepares for the next shot. Indrajith says he plays a bold and jovial character, while Asif, who sports a goatee and a ponytail, says his character is unemployed, the youngest in the group, and is prone to get into trouble.
According to Rahman, it is the way human relations are handled in the movie that has persuaded him to play a role in the flick.
John Vijay, who shot into fame with Tamil films such as 'Oram Po,' 'Raavanan,' and 'Mouna Guru,' makes his entry into Malayalam. Remya Nambeeshan and Jinu Joseph are in the cast.
'Bachelor Party' is being produced under the banner of Amal Neerad Productions. Lyrics by Rafeeq Ahmad have been composed by Rahul Raj.

OK, these aren't exactly working canines in the way that police dogs or guide dogs are.
These puppies — there were 10 of them in all — were brought to work at the Portage Avenue office of Western Financial Insurance Company on Friday, June 21 as a way of celebrating Take Your Dog to Work Day.

Just when I thought I was on a roll with blogging and had all these ideas for future articles I was suddenly invited to Pukefest 2013.
The venue was my children's bedroom, the start time was 11pm, the finish time was yet to be decided.
The support act was toddler boy. He started proceedings with his unique projectile style, covering a 1 metre radius of his cot.
His endeavours were closely followed by girly girl. Her style was much more laid back, preferring instead to remain in sleeping position, head lolling over the side of the bed, dowsing much of the surrounding carpet.
Though I certainly did not shout 'Encore' at the end of each act of Pukefest 2013, they insisted on re-enacting their original performance a further four times throughout the night and early dawn.
By 3am there was not one single item of bedding or pyjamas that had not performed in Pukefest 2013. Quite a few cuddly toys along with a good amount of carpet and wall had also taken part in this astounding event.
The following few days were filled with cleaning and washing the entire contents of a shared bedroom and wardrobe along with a growing desperation of finding places to dry sheets.
The notion of sitting at my computer and feeling inspired to write was the stuff of dreams until today when the final load of washing whirred into life and girly girl said 'Goodbye' at the school lunch table.
It's a funny mix for me. When my little ones are poorly there is the stress and strain of looking after them and all the fall out of mess and mahem that ensues but there is also plenty of cuddles. In their subdued poorly state even toddler boy snuggles on the sofa and sits quietly with blanket - well for a few minutes at least!

Yesterday I took our timid, white German Shepherd to Canine Crown & Glory for the first time. This company is located on new Leicester Hwy and very easy to find.
We were greeted by Angie, who immediately shushed the barkers so our dog Sugar would be more at ease. Angie also talked to Sugar and petted her to make her feel more comfortable.
When I pick Sugar up, she was cleaner than we'd ever seen her. Her coat was smooth, white, and de-shedded, teeth brushed, nails trimmed, ears cleaned, and she smelled very nice! Angie's price was also very reasonable.
Sugar did not seem to be overly-stressed by her grooming experience. She and I plan to return to Canine Crown & Glory for her next grooming. I'd definitely recommend Angie and her company to anyone who needs a dog-loving, caring groomer.
I have taken my mini schnauzer...02/11/2013
I have taken my mini schnauzer, Pirate to Angie. Pirate is a barker and afraid of people since he came from an abusive home. She does wonders with him! We are in the process of adopting another rescue, a Maltipoo and I am sure she will use her "magic" on him also! If you have a problem pet and want a fantastic groomer, check them out!
All About The Dog01/26/2010
This salon is truly all about the dog. Angie and Edwina care for my dogs just like they are their own. I have never been to a groomer that treated my babies as good if not better then I do. They offer nail painting, blueberry facials, warm conditioning treatments, and the best sprays and colognes I have ever smelled.

I worked for this guy for two weeks. He fired me because I injured my foot and had a doctor's note to take 2 days off. In the time I worked for him I watched him threaten people, fire people, refuse to pay sub-contracters and treat all his employees very bad. His father is a tryant and his son is an egotistical liar. He talks down to everyone and then lies to his father about it. They are paranoid liars. STAY FAR AWAY from them.

What the lady said IS TRUE! Harold is a CON!!
SUBMITTED: Thursday, March 12, 2015POSTED: Thursday, March 12, 2015
My husband worked for Harold and I personally met Harold, the dad and his son. I met them with my husband on a job site that my husband did for them on Armenia. My husband busted HIS A** for Harold!! He did a good job remodeling an office. He stayed late at night many nights so that he could get it done by the time Harold needed it finished. He has a wife and three kids. Harold agreed to the price and did not pay my husband anywhere close to that!!!! My husband had to pay his guys and it left us barely anything!!! We lost our house and was evicted with 3 children!!! I have no respect for any of them!!! And the dad even acted like he did not know my husband when my husband went to his house knowing d**n well he was there the morning we all met at the site and shook mine and my husbands hand!! Harold also still owes my husband for carpet work on other jobs!!! Its a shame!! I dont see how that man sleeps at night!! If I was him, I would be too scared to go out anywhere knowing all the people he rips off!! I also met one of the secretarys that worked for him that now works at the court house! She is very honest and an awesome employee for the court house that was promoted there within a few months, with that said, I know she is a good employee! She quit working for Harold because of how she was treated, talked to and also because of the scandalism that was going on in Harolds office! My husband used to box, Harold is extremly lucky my husband didnt give him a left hook! I dont encourage that behavior with my husband or step-sons! But Harold so deserved it!! Now I wish I would of told my husband to go for it!! But Harold will reap what he sows. And one day, my husband and I will visit him again.

all lies
SUBMITTED: Thursday, October 10, 2013POSTED: Thursday, October 10, 2013
I have worked for Mr. Rossiter for many months now and what Donna fails to mention in her statement is that she was in her probationary period at the time of her dismissal. Once she found out she had Merca on her foot it was a never ending complaining merry go round with her, not only during the 2 weeks she worked here, she stated that she new about the construction industry, which in fact she had no clue. Yes she did have a doctors note, and she was not fired because of missing work, she was let go because of her lack of knowledge (which she claimed she had in her interview). I can state for a fact that Mr. Rossiter does in fact pay his Sub contractors and does not talk down to his staff.

Lee's Bees Beeswax Candles
Pure Florida BeesWax - Lee's Bees
It all begins on a flower in the field. Bees collect nectar from the flowers and bring it to the hive where it becomes either beeswax or honey. A bee's diet consists primarily of honey, and any honey not consumed by the bees or in the raising of brood is stored as surplus and is ultimately consumed in the winter months when no flowers are available. It is the other use of honey that is of interest to us here: the conversion into beeswax. The production of beeswax is essential to the bee colony. It is used to construct the combs in which the bees raise their brood and into which they store pollen and surplus honey for the winter.
Worker bees, which live only around 35 days in the summer, develop special wax-producing glands on their abdomens and are most efficient at wax production during the 10th through the 16th days of their lives. The bees consume honey (6-8 pound of honey are need to produce a pound of wax) causing the special wax-producing glands to covert the sugar into wax which is extruded through small pores. The wax appears as small flakes on the bees' abdomen. At this point the flakes are essentially transparent and only become white after being chewed. It is in the mastication process that salivary secretions are added to the wax to help soften it. This also accounts for its change in color.
Beeswax becomes soft and very pliable if the temperature is too high (it actually melts at 149 F). Likewise, it becomes brittle and difficult to manage if the temperature is too low. However, honeybees maintain their hive at a temperature of around 95 degrees Fahrenheit which is just perfect for the manipulation of beeswax: not to hot to be at the point of dripping and not to cold to so as to be brittle.
A honeycomb constructed from beeswax is nothing short of a triumph of engineering. It consists of hexagon shaped cylinders (six-sided) that fit naturally side-by-side. It has been definitively proven by mathematicians that by making the cells into hexagons, it is the very most efficient: the smallest possible amount of wax is used for the volume of honey it contains. It has also been shown to be one of the strongest possible shapes while using the least amount of material. The color of beeswax comprising a comb is at first white and then darkens with age and use. This is especially true if it is used to raise brood. Pigmentation in the wax can result in colors ranging from white, through shades of yellow, orange, and red all the way to brown. The color has no significance as to the quality of the wax. Formerly, wax was bleached which resulted in the inclusion of undesirable compounds in the wax. Bleaching has now been abandoned by reputable candle manufacturers and other suppliers of beeswax.
If beeswax has a medicinal smell, chances are that it has been chemically altered or bleached. Here, at Lee's Bees, the home of premium Florida beeswax, we only use North American beeswax that is 100% pure. Smell one of our candles for proof of its purity!

Good Morning!
Ebony! Good to see you here, haven't seen you since The Wire thread. I wanted to say I think that your affirmations with your business card sounds like a really good idea and good direction for you to go with positive manifestations for your job.
Fremontmama! So nice to "see" you! Why didn't you tell me about this thread?! I can't believe I just stumbled upon it Those kids on The Wire couldn't definitely use some treasure mapping
Thanks for your thoughts. I'm really trying to work through this situation and I'm just at a loss because none of the prior "putting out good thoughts" techniques have been working for me at this place. I'm so confused over the whole thing:
I'm so glad you did stumble on it! I think it is such a cool thing. My Treasure Map from last year really helped me focus and this year I feel really even better about setting my intentions. I hope the same for you
And I'm having a hard time picturing any of the boys Treasure Mapping but it's an interesting image.
I'm sorry the job situation is so hard right now. I am still working on learning how to word really good positive manifestations for things, so I am having trouble coming up with good mantras for you. But, 1. I really liked what you said you put on your map and 2. what I really wanna say is come on over to the weekly manifesting masters thread and there will be a ton of people who want to help. It is the most supportive, loving place ever! There are a lot of really wise women there hanging out and willing to share their thoughts. The thread can get huge and move really fast, but just jump in and introduce yourself and let people know what you need advice about and you will get some great ideas and things to think about.
See you there!
Here is my 2007 Treasure Map : I wasn't sure about sharing but everyone has been so helpful and inspiring and it feels right
Autistic pagan mama with five kiddos on the spectrum, learning through living life.
Here is mine! First timer with a busy tm, too!
I was mostly drawn to huge pictures from magazines, and a lot of what's on my map is based on a general feeling, although most pictures do represent something specific. I didn't use the baguas, but instead just put things where they fit and where they felt right. I have very few words on there, but the pink rose is actually a blank greeting card in which I wrote about a dozen affirmations/intentions and slipped the back of it inside an envelope that I glued onto my tm. For some reason I didn't want them all out there visible, but they just flowed out of my pen and I definitely wanted to incorporate them somehow. The green rectangle below the yellow flower at the top says, "It's in our nature to be RICH & ABUNDANT." Down at the bottom by the whispering girls it says, "Unity is strength." Near the center is Yoda, with the word "Luminous" under him (because "Luminous beings are we, not this crude matter...." ).
Things have already been moving along and shifting for me, from the very first moments on Tuesday when I picked out my magazines and pictures. :
I'm going to go back now and look at the other maps that have been posted!
I am so happy and grateful that money comes to me easily from many sources, with increasing frequency, in the highest possible way for everyone.
Do you think this is appropriate? What is your take on the situation, based on the limited info you have?
this has been an extraordinary experience for me!! I loved every single moment of it and boy was it a totally surreal experience in some ways!
I loved how close it brought me to my core and to my dreams. Such a fragile and beautiful space. Such a sacred energy.
Here is a link to my Map http://s173.photobucket.com/albums/w...1177087929.pbw
I am so grateful for these treasure map threads. It has been so much fun to hear about everyone's experiences, have a place to ask questions, hear other ideas and see the wide range of beautiful maps made.
A great big Thanks to Tracy for all her time and energy!!! You have been so helpful and I know I appreciate it a ton!
am i the only one who feels a little self-conscious having a big ol' honkin' picture of me in the middle of a poster board? LOL! i think it would feel better if my kids were in the picture...but maybe that's the point...to stretch my comfort a bit and work toward a sense of self that is comfortable having me front and center...all to myself?
mom to all boys B: 08/01, C: 07/05 , N: 03/09 , M: 01/12 and far too many lost ones
you know, it's funny...i tend to be a very very unstructured/unorganized person so i anticipated that i'd have a very free-flowing TM with very limited inherent structure. well, that couldn't be further from the truth! it's a grid with very clearly marked sections, very "rule" focused i suppose...or structured is really the best word for it. and that's so not me! i suppose it's what my soul is searching for? more structure? so i think that, as it turns out, the TM as a WHOLE is a part of my goals for this year....to become more structured?
anyway, it's food for thought...
I'm done making my map and...I hate it. It just feels so completely wrong to me. I couldn't pick magazines & had to use what I had available, so I had a lot of trouble finding things I wanted. If I could take off what I like and start again, I would. I've even been thinking of cutting the stuff I want off the board & putting them on a new board. Is it too late to do something like that?

For instance, I found a picture of the perfect pedicure. I have been wanting a pedicure for AGES, but never really thought of it as a need. (Although I suspect it would do wonders for my state of mind... )
Can I put the pretty tootsies on my TM, or is that just too silly to request of the universe???
Okay, well... I've finished. But to be honest, it looks kind of spare and ameteurish.
I didn't actually plan on doing the treasure mapping, so I ended up using about 5 magazines that I hadn't even really picked out myself... and using some left-over supplies from my (also ameteurish) scapbooking.
All in all, I guess it's not horrible for a last-minute decision.
Good Morning! I am enjoying seeing everyone's maps, thanks all for sharing
I finished mine in the wee hours of night last night and had one question. I wanted to put a photo of me with dh and dd in the middle of the map, but for the life of me, had a heck of a time finding a photo with all 3 of us in it So I put one photo of me and dd, a close up with just our heads and then a photo of dh's head glued right next to us. Does that sound too disjointed? Should I try and find a photo of the 3 of us together? Any thoughts?
Hey IncaMama - It's funny, you and I have opposite personalities in many ways (very similar in others), but are coming to the same conclusion from our TM. As you know, I'm always the overly-organized, rules-based person, but this time on my TM I went more with my gut and was pretty free-form. I had come to the conclusion that I need to let go and relax more. I'm so glad you made it over here!

Independent Lens to Present Black History Month Programming on PBS
In celebration of Black History Month, Independent Lens, the Emmy Award-winning PBS documentary series, today announced programming available during the month of February that highlights the African American experience. The films feature unsung heroes of the civil rights era, African Americans who have left an indelible mark on the arts and music scene, and those who are redefining the African American experience.
"Independent Lens has a rich history of showcasing contemporary and historical stories that illuminate and celebrate the African American experience," said Lois Vossen, Independent Lens senior series producer. "This month we're pleased to present the broadcast premiere of The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights, and stream a remarkable selection of past Independent Lens programs that commemorate the Unforgettable stories of black Americans. On air and online, these programs allow viewers to better understand our diverse society."
The Powerbroker: Whitney Young's Fight for Civil Rights, a new documentary about one of the most celebrated and controversial leaders of the civil right era, premieres on Independent Lens, hosted by Stanley Tucci, on Monday, February 18, at 10 PM ET on PBS (check local listings). Narrated by Alfre Woodard, The Powerbroker follows Young's journey from segregated Kentucky to head of the National Urban League.
During the 1960s, as the executive director of the National Urban League, Whitney Young was one of the few African Americans who had the ear of those who controlled the levers of power: Fortune 500 CEOs, governors, senators, and presidents. He used these relationships to gain better access to employment, education, housing, and healthcare for African Americans, other minorities, and those in need. His unique position and approach earned him praise, but also scorn from the Black Power movement for being too close to the white establishment. While he is less known today than other leaders of the era because of the behind-the-scenes Nature of his work, Young's legacy and influence are still felt profoundly. The Powerbroker is a production of Bluegate. The executive producer is Bonnie Boswell and the film is produced by Boswell, Christine Khalafian, and Taylor Hamilton. The co-producer is Jordan Melograna.

A DEAF woman has been barred from sitting on a jury in the current criminal sittings of Queensland's Supreme and District courts.
Justice James Douglas decided the woman, who can lip-read but needed an Auslan interpreter, was incapable of performing the functions of a juror and was ineligible for jury service.
INFIGHTING: Judiciary split into cliques
SPLIT: Belijie looks at Court of Appeal
He ruled out an interpreter in the jury room and said allowing the woman to simply lip-read what other jurors said could put at risk a fair trial.
The Sheriff of Queensland sought a court ruling after the deaf woman, who was selected on a jury panel, said she needed an Auslan interpreter, the Supreme Court heard.
She told the sheriff she was able to lip-read, but as her hearing was not good, she could miss parts of some conversations, the court heard.
Justice Douglas said Queensland had no particular legislative provision covering an interpreter sitting in a jury room assisting a deaf juror to take part in deliberations.
There was no explicit power to require such an interpreter to swear an oath or affirm to maintain the secrecy of the jury's deliberations.
Justice Douglas said it would be inappropriate for an interpreter to assist a deaf juror within the jury room, as "a 13th juror'', in the absence of specific legislation.
After ruling out an interpreter the judge then had to decide if the deaf woman could participate in a trial using her lip reading abilities.
To perform the functions of a juror the woman needed to be able to communicate effectively with other jurors, the judge said.
She told Justice Douglas she needed an Auslan interpreter to "speak'' most effectively to other jurors because sometimes people did not understand what she said.
"There seems to me to be considerable risks for the fairness of any trial if one relies simply on the individual's ability to lip read to qualify her as a juror,'' the judge said.
He took into account her admission that she might miss parts of conversations and the likelihood she might not be aware of conversations which she could not observe.
"There is a very real risk, absent the use of an interpreter, that she will not be able to participate properly in communication among the jurors,'' Justice Douglas said.
Earlier this year deaf woman Gaye Prudence Lyons lost a discrimination case against the State Government over being excluded from jury service at Ipswich District Court in 2012.
A Queensland Civil and Administrative Tribunal member decided her exclusion was because she was considered ineligible by a court deputy registrar.

Congressman Jerry F. Costello (D-IL), Ranking Member of the House Aviation Subcommittee, commended the Department of Transportation and the Federal Aviation Administration for progress being made in implementing the Airline Safety and Pilot Training Improvement Act of 2009, which was enacted into law in 2010 as part of H.R. 5900, the Airline Safety and Federal Aviation Administration Extension Act of 2010, during an Aviation Subcommittee hearing on aviation safety in the United States.
As Chairman of the Aviation Subcommittee during the 110th and 111th Congresses, Costello made aviation safety his top priority, conducting a series of hearings examining all aspects of aviation safety, which took on even greater importance following the crash of Colgan Air Flight 3407 in February 2009. The result of this effort was H.R. 3371, the strongest aviation safety bill enacted in the last 50 years. While there is still a good deal of work to be done, a final pilot fatigue rule and ongoing rulemaking on air carrier crew training are major steps forward.
"Generally speaking, I am encouraged by the progress that the FAA has made implementing the comprehensive airline safety and pilot training bill that we enacted in the 111th Congress," said Costello in his opening statement. "I commend Secretary LaHood and the Acting Administrator for completing a pilot fatigue rule, and proposing a new pilot training rule that will dramatically increase the training standards for first officers. As the Colgan tragedy made very clear, aviation safety depends on making sure pilots have the training and experience necessary to deal with adverse situations. I will continue to work with the FAA and all interested stakeholders as this process continues to make sure that the FAA produces the strongest possible rule."
Costello pressed Scott Foose, Senior Vice President for Operations and Safety for the Regional Airlines Association (RAA), as to the number of regional airlines that have an approved plan to have their first officers meet the new standard of having an Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate. Foose responded that only three of the RAA's 27 members had such a plan, and he was not sure if Pinnacle Airlines, the parent company of Colgan Air, had a plan in place. Costello told Foose to provide the Subcommittee a full list as soon as possible.
The subject of increased operational errors by air traffic controllers was also discussed, as the total number of reported errors has increased with the introduction of new reporting programs. Costello cautioned to keep the numbers in perspective, as even at the increased level, they represent only .0016% of all airline operations in 2010. By continuing rigorous oversight and working together as an industry, he emphasized, we will maintain the strong safety record of U.S. aviation.
"Mr. Chairman, the United States commercial aviation system is the safest in the world," said Costello in his statement. "It is the safest because of the hard work over the years by many professionals at the Federal Aviation Administration, the National Transportation Safety Board, government auditing agencies, organized labor, the airline industry and also Congress and this Subcommittee."

Want to read Jon Gruden's entire Wednesday press conference? Click here for this BucsBlitz.com premium feature.
Cornerback Brian Kelly and defensive end Patrick Chukwurah appeared at practice on Wednesday in a limited fashion, signaling that the pair may be available for Sunday's game against St. Louis.
Both missed Sunday's victory over New Orleans, Kelly with a groin injury and Chukurah with a partially torn MCL in his knee.
Bucs head coach Jon Gruden answered "no" when asked whether the pair's time in practice on Wednesday was an indication on when the pair might return to game action.
Kelly stopped in the locker room to talk to reporters before Wednesday's practice and said that the rehab on his groin went well and that he would probably see some work this week.
"I feel like I have a good chance to be out there," Kelly said.
If Kelly cannot play against the St. Louis Rams this Sunday, Phillip Buchanon would start in his place for the second straight game. Buchanon had a fine game against the Saints, defending two first-half passes.
Chukwurah has been on the shelf since injuring his knee Aug. 25 against Miami. Chukwurah's rehab appears to be progressing, as he is no longer walking around the locker room with a limp.
Chukwurah has been out the past two regular season games.
"I'll do a little bit," Chukwurah said before the workout.
Wide receiver Joey Galloway and left tackle Luke Petitgout also practice in a limited fashion, both listed as a team decision. Galloway has received a rest each Wednesday the past three weeks. Petitgout was rested for the same reason. Petitgout missed a week of training camp with a back issue.
"I guess we have to announce that on this new list," Gruden said of Galloway. 'He's not hurt, he just has his normal in-season Wednesday schedule. Luke Petitgout was held out today for the same reason."
The rest appears to be working for the 35-year old receiver, who is seventh among NFL receivers in yardage (207) and scored two touchdowns last week against New Orleans.
In St. Louis, cornerback Tye Hill (back) and guard Richie Incognito (ankle) did not practice. Quarterback Marc Bulger (ribs) and guard Claude Terrell (thigh) practiced.
Ruud wins NFC Award
Tampa Bay middle linebacker Barrett Ruud is the NFC Defensive Player of the Week after his 16-tackle performance against New Orleans.
Ruud also forced a first-quarter fumble from New Orleans' Reggie Bush, leading to the Buccaneers' first touchdown of the game.
This is Ruud's first Player of the Week award.
"I was a little bit surprised, I guess," Ruud said. "I didn't even know I was up for it. But it's cool. It's a good honor. But you have to move on quickly. It's something my friends can brag on more than I can."
PLAYER NOTES (Courtesy of staff reports)
QB Jeff Garcia has attempted 43 passes and has four completions of 40 yards or more.
QB Bruce Gradkowski could alternate as the No. 2 QB with Luke McCown for the remainder of the season.
RB Cadillac Williams says he can become an effective goal line back. Williams had two touchdown runs Sunday against the Saints.
FB B.J. Askew will remain the Bucs' starting fullback, ending an experiment at that position with Michael Pittman.
WR Joey Galloway averaged 33 yards per catch Sunday against the Saints. He has nine TDs in his last six games.
WR Ike Hilliard has 100 yards receiving in two games, his best start as a Buccaneer.
LB Cato June will continue to alternate with Derrick Brooks at weak-side LB during passing downs.
PK Matt Bryant has made all three of his FG attempts this season.
Matthew Postins covers the Buccaneers for BucsBlitz.com and the Charlotte Sun-Herald in Port Charlotte, Fla. He is a member of the Pro Football Writers Association and has won national awards for his Buccaneers coverage from the PFWA, the National Newspaper Association and the Associated Press Sports Editors.

Megamind Dominates The US Box Office
Due Date arrives second
After a disappointing few weekends, the US box office enjoyed a healthy bump in the last three days as three new movies opened wide to successful returns. Topping the charts was DreamWorks' latest 3D 'toon, Megamind, with the superhero comedy earning $47.6 million, putting it ahead of Todd Phillips' new comedy Due Date. The Robert Downey Jr/Zach Galifianakis road trip pic nabbed a strong $33.5 million, winning second place.
Tyler Perry's latest, For Colored Girls, was third with a solid $20.1 million. Rounding out the top five were Red, which is holding strong, and dropped just one place to fourth with $8.8 million, despite having been out for a month now, and Saw 3D, which toppled from the top to land in fifth, adding $8.2 million for a running total of $38.8 million.
But though Jigsaw and co are still ahead of Paranormal Activity 2 in terms of chart placing, the scary sequel is easily outperforming the torture title, adding $7.2 million to a current total of $77.2 million after three weeks. They're both put to shame by Jackass 3D in seventh, which made $5 million this weekend and is well over $110 million.
Clint Eastwood's Hereafter slipped to eighth with $4.1 million and Secretariat dropped to ninth with $4 million. Finally, in 10th, we find The Social Network, which will likely leave the top 10 next week and made $3.6 million.
To cackle evilly while making plans for the rest of the charts, trap Box Office Mojo in your web lair.
