Pain relievers
Recent research has demonstrated that some nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs may actually slow the healing process by restricting the body's natural healing mechanisms, so they should be used sparingly.
Joint manipulation
Recent research has shown us that, in some cases, joint manipulation can be helpful with pain reduction and more rapid recovery. Your doctor of chiropractic will determine if this procedure will be helpful in your case.
A Word about Prevention
In many cases, sports injuries can be prevented. Proper conditioning and warm-up and cool-down procedures, as well as appropriate safety equipment, can substantially reduce injuries. Understanding proper techniques can also go a long way toward preventing injuries.
Sufficient water intake is also an important preventive measure.

How Sonny & Cher got their groove back
Sonny & Cher's comeback: Sonny & Cher were world-famous and hugely successful in the 60s, but their career was on the skids in 1970. Despite their outrageous appearance, their lifestyle and music was squeaky-clean, and didn't go over well with hippies. They resorted to playing lounge acts to hostile, middle-aged audiences, who heckled them. Cher started heckling back, Sonny scolded her, and she heckled him. The heckling became the best part of the act, and Hollywood noticed and gave them the "Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour." [Cintra Wilson/Salon]

Daryl Dragon Dead: 'Captain' of Captain & Tennille Dies at 76
Daryl Dragon, the hat-wearing musician familiar to 1970s music fans as half of the bestselling duo the Captain & Tennille, died Tuesday in Prescott, Arizona at age 76.
Dragon's ex-wife, Toni Tennille, "was with him as he took his last breath," said Harlon Boll, a spokesperson for the singer. In a statement, Tennille said, "He was a brilliant musician with many friends who loved him greatly. I was at my most creative in my life when I was with him."

Zappa vs. Zappa
It's brother and sister against brother and sister in bitter fight over control of Frank Zappa's legacy
When Frank Zappa's wife Gail died last year she left control of the estate to two of the Zappas' four children.
I'd certainly like to have the Zappas' money. But I'm grateful I don't live in the shadow of a dead, famous father.
Randall Roberts/The LA Times:
To say Moon and Dweezil were surprised by the imbalance is an understatement.
Moon, the eldest child, says she and Gail had a rocky relationship, but in her mother's final year and a half after the cancer diagnosis, Moon tended to Gail's needs, driving her to oncologist appointments and bringing her meals.
"I was showing up because that's what you do," she says. "I still loved her, and I still didn't want to see somebody sick suffer."
For Moon, the most painful part was that as her mom's health deteriorated, she thought she and Gail had fully made amends. In hindsight, Moon believes Gail was asking forgiveness with the knowledge that her eldest child would be devastated by the slight to come.
"It's complicated enough to be grieving the loss of a mean mom," Moon says, "and then to find out she was meaner than I could have possibly comprehended."
In a public letter posted on Facebook, Moon opened with the heading, "Things my mother taught me," and continued: "What's yours is mine. What's mine is mine. Your father is mine. What was his was mine. Who he was was mine."

An English Tea held at Westlawn, an elegant private residence in Heathsville, drew a crowd of 50 people who gathered to enjoy themselves as they socialized on Sunday afternoon April 26. The event, sponsored by the Northumberland Public Library's Board of Trustees, was "extremely successful," said Board President Eve Jordan.
"Westlawn is a gorgeous home," Jordan added, and the locale drew "tremendous attention to our tea." Tickets cost $20 apiece and all proceeds went to benefit the Northumberland Public Library.
The home's owners, Jim and Diana Russell, were on hand to mingle with the guests. Diana Russell said the event was fun and Jim Russell agreed. "I love people being in our home and enjoying the things we enjoy," he said.
Harpist Susan Anthony-Tolbert provided music during the English Tea. She performed near the door so that the sounds of her harp greeted guests as they entered the residence.
Emily Pomerleau said she attended because her good friend Jane Peterson invited her to the tea. "It's a good occasion to support the library," Pomerleau said.
Those attending the English Tea were uniformly pleased with the event and the locale. "I think it's wonderful," said Gwen Byers. "The house is gorgeous."

Welcome back to the second installment in my series, The Brand Innovator! If you recall, this series is designed to educate on the importance of developing, maintaining and growing a truly successful brand.
Let's talk brand recognition.
Brand recognition refers to the extent or likelihood that consumers will recognize and associate with a specific brand. Recognition can occur through distinctive images, trusted product value, slogans or many other avenues. When competition in a niche industry is particularly high, one of the best resources a company can possess is strong consumer brand recognition.
But why is brand recognition so vital? In an innovative, fast-paced culture and environment, there is nearly an endless stream of different product and service options available to consumers, many of which are comparable across quality and function. Consumers differentiate between nearly identical products and services based on their ability to distinguish one brand from the next—brand recognition can often equate to the difference between triumph or disappointment for a company.
So let's discuss some ways you can develop brand awareness for your company.
Tell a Great Story
How relatable is your brand? How influential or memorable is your content? If you don't know how to answer either of those questions, start the process by conducting consumer surveys, compiling market research and utilizing analytical tools to truly gauge and understand where and who to focus campaign efforts on.
Once you understand your target audience, you can begin creating content that tells a story that deeply connects with consumers. For example, Copart founder, Willis Johnson, developed the Copart brand with the mentality and intention of building a company that truly cares and puts family first while striving to make the company's customers the most valuable partner. When building Copart, Johnson understood that a large volume of his target audience was dismantlers and mom-and-pop shops in smaller, rural cities, and that the Copart brand should embody the spirit and values that were needed to gain their trust.
"It was in 2002 when Jay Adair (Copart CEO) realized something bad had happened at Copart: no one knew anyone anymore." said Johnson in his biography, "Junk to Gold". "We had gotten so big that we didn't have that mom-and-pop feel anymore. So Jay decided Copart needed a revolution…it needed to go back to its roots."
After nearly 35 years, these characteristics are still intrinsic at Copart.
Get Local and Give Freebies
You're a new company on the hunt to create a brand—where do you start? You need to station your brand in front of people, and I literally mean right in front of them. If you're a new company, you may not have a deep budget to dip into for giveaway items or swag, but you don't necessarily have to.
Do you know what people love? Free stuff. Do you know what people love to come grab at events? Koozies. Do you know what people always keep in their purse, car or on the counter in their kitchen? Pens. Did you know that both of these "freebies" are incredibly inexpensive to order in bulk? By placing your logo onto inexpensive giveaway items, you are keeping your expenses low while taking advantage of effective marketing the most traditional sense.
Giveaway items, partnerships and events go hand in hand. A great strategy for a new brand is to partner with other local businesses to join in at seminars, festivals and other events. You can also take advantage of sponsorship opportunities and charity events to spread awareness, and to ignite curiosity about your brand. Never negate the power that word of mouth possesses, and look for opportunities to get your brand in front of as many people that your bandwidth, budget and resources allow.
Don't Skimp on Social Media
While you certainly should not negate the value of social platforms, you should also be wise in selecting the right one(s) for your business model. The number of social media network options continues to expand, and while having multiple options is ideal, it won't always be feasible to remain active on all of them, especially if you don't have the team to accommodate. Research and understand your core network, and subsequently focus on placing your energy into your high-traffic platforms that will harness the most return on devoted resources.
Once you've chosen the platforms that will position your brand for success, consider developing social media contests and giveaways that are designed to engage consumers and users. Incentivize contests to pique interest and raise participation numbers, and then watch as contestants share the URL and network for you. Not only will this create excitement around your brand, it will reach consumers who may have not previously associated with your company.
Food for Thought
When you cut your finger, do you ask for a plastic bandage, or a Band-Aid? Do you clean your ears with a Q-Tip or a cotton swab? When you have a runny nose, do you reach for a tissue or a Kleenex? My point is, brand recognition is incredibly influential on the decisions we make daily, even we don't even realize it. And while this merely scratches the surface of tactics you can employ to become recognized as a trusted and valued brand, it is surely a great start.
If you have any additional comments or tips you would like to distribute, I'd love to hear them! Leave your thoughts and ideas in the comment box, and stay tuned for the next installment in The Brand Innovator Series!

The title may be clever but the rest of the film has about the same level of intelligence as a piece of GCSE coursework in the wake of left-wing government in which everyone in Britain should just allow the uprise of unlikeable characters, drug abuse, chavs and shit rap music for the sake of diversity and equality... If I wanted to see this I'd just take a stroll through North London instead of watching a depressing movie about it.
Director Menhaj Huda and screenwriter Noel Clarke haven't done anything original here, they try to make everything look and sound realistic, raw and gritty but the end product is nothing short of pretentious.
Yes, Clarke's captured the way modern teenagers talk, but that's nothing to be proud of. All it does is glamourise the fact that the English language has been "bear butchered 'n ting".
Yes, there is a seedy side of London, as there is every other city in the world, but all this movie shows is a London without redemption.

The Contracts and Full Year/Full Time LTOs that are not specialty positions will be centrally placed by Human Resources, based on Seniority of applicants from the LTO list in accordance with Regulation 274 Through discussions between the local and HR, OTs will be able to provide preference to the board (more information on this process to come.) Please note that there is a possibility of an OT on the LTO list being successful to an LTO specialty position and, being eligible for a contract they have also applied to. The Board will not stand in the way of someone being successful to a contract position, and therefore if an Occasional Teacher from the LTO list accepts a full year LTO Specialty position and also applies to Contract postings, and based on seniority is successful to a contract position they will allow the Occasional Teacher to abandon the LTO position for the contract. Should this happen, they will re-post the specialty LTO position in a subsequent posting in August . The above process may exhaust the current LTO list. As a result, the remaining contracts and LTOs will be posted to the OT Roster. In the event the first posting does not deplete the LTO list the second postings will be open to both LTO list and OT Roster Occasional Teachers with the understanding that the Occasional Teachers on the LTO list will receive preference to the position in accordance with Regulation 274. Similar to last year it is the expectation that qualified applicants will accept a position for which they have applied to. Once an Occasional Teacher has accepted a Long Term Assignment they may not abandon one Long Term Occasional assignment for another, even if it results in an increase in FTE.

System had been up for 29 days.
the answer was to not reboot and login to the terminal. Then you can find if some sort of process was hung or just chewing up extra cpu, now that you have already rebooted its harder. But you can check all the logs to see if anything stands out.

Nut Full Moon Date: Monday, September 12, 2011
Names Given to the Moon by Other Cultures:
Colonial American: Harvest Moon
Chinese: Chrysanthemum Moon
Native American(Cherokee): Nut Moon
This full Moon is the Cherokee "Nut Moon" or the Celtic "Singing Moon." Watch it rise as the Sun sets.
The corn harvest referred to as "Ripe Corn Festival" also known as the "Nut Moon" [spoken "Nv-da u-da-ta-nv" in Cherokee], was customarily held in the early part of this moon to acknowledge Selu the spirit of the corn. Selu is thought of as First Woman. The festival respects Mother Earth as well for providing all foods during the growing season. The "Brush Feast Festival" also customarily takes place in this season. All the fruits and nuts of the bushes and trees of the forest were gathered as this time. A wide variety of nuts from the trees went into the nut breads for the various festivals throughout the seasons. Hunting traditionally began in earnest at this time.
Nut was the goddess of the sky and all heavenly bodies, a symbol of protecting the dead when they enter the after life. According to the Egyptians, the heavenly bodies—such as the sun and moon—would make their way across her body. Then, at dusk or dawn, they would be swallowed, pass through her belly during the night or day, and be reborn.
The moon continues to fascinate us with all of its mysteries.

It was just an hour talk, from 11am to 12pm. I was late by 10 minutes :( paiseh... Luckily still have available seat for me to squeeze in with Smellybutt. It was indeed a very informative talk about baby wearing. Though I am not using a ring sling at all time, but I still love to find out (another word - kepoh) about how to use it and the correct way to thread a ring sling. Chinnee brought along a few of her ring slings for all participants to try out. I've tried the raw silk ring sling. Very soft fabric, yet not slippery at all when I've put my gal on the sling. Smellybutt behaved pretty well, she just munched on raisins and bread throughout the talk. Occasionally observing at other kids who were busy crawling and walking all around the room :P

Babywearing workshop - it was fun!
Last Saturday, I've attended a babywearing workshop organised by FabulousMom. The speaker was non other than Chinnee - founder of Mama Patch and also a professional baby wearing advisor.
I regretted for not using it for Smellybutt when she was younger. Never mind, start now, it'll never be too late. Furthermore, she seems to be happy hanging on my lousy shawl-sling too ^_^ huhuhu. Whenever I need to do grocery shopping with Smellybutt, I will tag along my lousy DIY sling. It will be useful when she's tired of walking, running and even get bored for sitting too long in her stroller. I guess she loves to be in the sling now. I MUST make one!! My poor golden rings being kept aside for too long liao...
But before that, I gotto decide which type of fabric to use - shantung silk or cotton? Dilemma...Dilemma...
p/s : Brought my camera along for the talk, but not enough hand to snap picture. Also too obsessed with the slings and information...and not forgetting her 2 lil handsome boys too! Drooling....muahahaha!!

"She's so high-strung, that one," he said around his bit of hay in his mouth. "You gotta be real gentle with 'er. Take a strong hand, but be gentle, or she'll toss ya. She's got a mind of 'er own, she does."
i'm kind of 'high' strung… i'm not sure what that means but it sounds like it means i'm either high maintenance or really uptight. both are pretty true. i'm probably supposed to write actual … writings for this but i don't really give a shit… oh, is that bad? ahaha. never mind, maybe i'm not high strung.
he twisted around, trying to get free. his bonds cut deeper into his skin, his breath became tighter…and it was all in his head…how much more pressure could he take?
The beads were strung on a thin piece of rawhide, but the beads were beautiful, and handmade.
i was stung by love.
i un strung my beads of love from my heart.
Strung out? haha, that reminds me of being spun.. have you ever been spun? I tell you, that was the worst moments of this year.. I guess you could say… I'm glad I got away from it.
strunng along I suppose would be something I would think of or strung out or strung up even, though none are exactly positive, or are they muhahahaha!

I own a couple of Grizzly tools, and have been happy with them. I have not ordered anything from them since early last year, when I ordered one of those Tormek knockoff wet wheel sharpeners. I ordered it online, and it shipped fairly quick, but I also noticed that on the website that it was soon after on backorder.
Now, I see a fair amount of people complaining about Grizzly not having stock on many items. Grizzly apparently runs a very lean inventory, to help lower prices. Typical in Continuous Improvement, lean inventory allows you to not have the company's money tied up on the warehouse floor. The goal is to try and create a flow of money and machinery, not have big bubbles of machinery stuck on their warehouse floors that cost money to maintain, keep safe, move around, pay taxes on as an asset, etc. This would fit with their closing of the Muncy warehouse a few years back. Lean it all out.
But it seems now the economy has turned a bit, and people are starting to buy more. So Grizzly may not be adjusting their inventory numbers fast enough?
I'm speculating here, but I think Grizzly may be getting caught with their pants down, trying to sell machines off bare concrete. If so, there will be a horrible adjustment period, where they try to force their factories to build faster to make up new inventory numbers, and my guess is that the quality will suffer as their Asian Rim factories struggle to keep up.
As customer reps get pounded on the phones daily by disgruntled customers, they will get shorter with customers. As they lose customers to this situation, they will see the start of a spiral that is hard to get out of.
Just speculating, but that is the usual path if they don't respond and bring up inventories. And it is hard to do when your own people are selling everything you put on the warehouse floor as fast as you can import it.
Just my opinion, but I think I would see how Grizzly performs on both shipping and quality wise in the next couple quarters before I would commit to a new machine of any consequence.
You have to be able to change on a dime, and once a lean inventory program is securely in place, a change in the economy can wreck havoc on that program.

The Tessari family have Soave in their blood. For three generations they have been extracting delectable wine from the well cared for vines of their Monteforte d'Alpone vineyards. With only a little over a hectare of garganega grapes in the prestigious area of Soave Classico, Antonio Tessari hand dug his cellar back in 1933 and started the legacy that continues today with his grandchildren: Germano, Antonio and Cornelia.
The young, skillful brothers share the same strong spirit for making Garganega that their father Aldo did. From vineyard to bottle and through the supply chain- these three siblings oversee it all; with unwavering respect for tradition, quality and passion for the art of winemaking . The highly suited 12 hectares of Garganega vineyards: "Magnavacche", "Costalta" and "Castellaro", have not been altered since their parents held rank. Today the production is far different, with a new, well equipped winery completed in 2007. The Tessari trio are able to continue the down the path that was established for them when Antonio painstakingly shoveled the first rock eight decades ago.

My painting, "Deer In My Garden", Oil, 36" H X 36" W, will be on exhibit at the Woodbridge Public Library 350th Anniversary Juried Show, December, 2018. The Reception is December 14th, 6:30pm.
This painting will be on exhibit at the Guild Of Creative Art, 620 Broad St., Shrewsbury, NJ, in the Guild's 26th Annual Juried Show, 2018. The show runs Sept.29- October 31, 2018. I'm honored to be in this show because of the high quality of art always on exhibit at this Gallery, which we visit whenever we're in Shrewsbury. The Reception is October 7, 3-5 pm. The painting will be on sale. It is Oil, 24" H X 24" W. I was inspired by the wonderful Georgia O'Keefe in Hawaii show at the NY Botanical Garden. I had a glorious hibiscus in my garden, and I always have wonderful hummingbirds in the summertime. I am happiest painting what I love! Great Show! Thanks to David Levy and the staff of Guild Of Creative Art.
We just got a new puppy. He's a frisky Westie and his name is Snowball. What is more wonderful than that? Maybe our wonderful grandson, Harry, who was one of the first to come meet his new family member. The two got along great. So far, Harry is the first child Snowball has met. Someone a little closer in size to love. Harry and I tried playing ball with Snowball, but he didn't quite get it. Snowball is under 3 months after all. But Harry and I played a good game. He's quite the sportsman. I look forward to many more happy hours with the two of them. A side benefit= they're both terrific muses!
We went on the amazing Cape May Dolphin Watch. It was our third time, but our first time with grandson, Harry. It was a joy to watch the wonder in his eyes, not to speak of the wonder in his father's eyes, as the latter stood mesmerized on the side of the boat by the beauty of the sea. And the dolphins!! We saw dolphins the other times. A few barely peeking up. Too impossible to photograph. But this time there were hundreds leaping everywhere, close enough to the boat to see without binoculars. Their glossy bodies rising in wondrous curves. I used silver acrylic to get that shine. I wanted to mirror the glorious dolphin curves in Harry's hat, the stern of the boat, and even in the splashing white foam of the sea. What a memorable day! The dolphins were too quick for my camera, but not my inner artist's eye.
This is a magical place. I don't know if there is anything else like it. There are 42 acres of over 800 sculptures that range from ordinary people just sitting there, to famous paintings recreated in sculpture, to notable sculptures by well knowns. The whole experience, as one walks on wending paths, through woods and greenery, past a lake and ponds, is rapturous. As if one were walking through a dream. And as my son, said, "Statues are therapeutic." One wants to hug them. They are friendly in their immobility. They represent our higher nature in some weird spiritual way.
There are several sculptures, like this one, of ordinary people. You want to sit down and read the book with her. In fact, for fun, our family sat on a bench (5 of us) and froze in position. It took awhile to coordinate ourselves, there was coughing and laughing, but once we got settled we actually fooled some people! Great fun!
And then there are the iconic paintings, like this one, "Dejueuner Deja Vu" by Seward Johnson, the founder of the sculpture garden and the main contributor. Imagine stepping into this amazing Impressionist painting.
Redon's Fantasy Of Venus, Seward Johnson.
Of course you can't get more iconic than AMERICAN GOTHIC. Those figures of a man and boy are my son and grandson, temporarily turned into statues!
For me the highlight was this room one could enter for private serenity and contemplation. It was on the other side of The Scream. Because that is the way life is. Yin and Yang, dark and light, both represented at this enchanted place.
Wow and super wow! I've just returned from the Georgia O'Keefe Show at the New York Botanical Garden (through October 28, 2018). I love her flower paintings and truly can say my flower paintings are influenced by her (bee's eye view). This show is based on her trip to Hawai'i in 1939. She painted two of my favorite flowers both native to Hawai'i: Birds of Paradise and Hibiscus.
Two wonderful surprises. She went to Hawai'i at the request of a pineapple company that wanted her to paint for their advertisements. She painted a rainbow colored pineapple.
She also painted the Ocean and lava in such a moving way. While the painting is deceptively simple, it totally captures the mighty power of the sea.
I think her own words say it best and express what all artists hope to do.
What does it mean to stay in the same house for such a long time? Longer than I've lived anywhere else. Forty-four years! Yes, it means you grow old along with your house. And the young boys, ages seven and four when we moved here, have grown up and moved on. Married and had children of their own. Those children have all run up and down the stairs in this glorious house. Their laughter still ringing in my ears. That room on the upper left, once was the older boy's, then the younger boy's, then a granddaughter's. That spacious room turned into my art room and from it have flowed all the paintings you see on this website.
That tree on the left was a beautiful pink tulip magnolia. Magnificent and perfect for two boys to climb. Alas, it was strangled to death by wisteria. Yes, you heard me right. Read "The Giant Wisteria" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman if you don't believe me. But I was young and innocent when it came to the garden and I thought the wisteria, cloaked around the tree like a necklace, was beautiful. But it killed the tree like the most merciless killer in an Agatha Christie mystery. Later I planted a weeping cherry blossom tree in that spot, and it brings the Spring every year. Black-eyed susans still smile under the fir tree. Though they are more spare, shade will do that. And the red roses still bloom every Memorial Day. That prize winning yellow dahlia has never been reduplicated, though I remembered it in a painting, "Nude Woman With Dahlia". The bluejay is emblematic of so many that have made our house their home, nesting in the upper rafters of our front porch. Our house has grown old along with us. How I cherish it and all the memories, inside, outside and yet to come.
BEFORE THE FALL: gERMAN AND AUSTRIAN ART OF THE 1930s/NEUE GALERIE THROUGH mAY 28, 2018
Don't come to this exhibit looking for happy paintings. You won't find them. These are Expressionist paintings from a very painful period in German and Austrian history between the World Wars. Expressionist artists express emotion, and the emotion evoked is horror. Most assuredly for the Jewish artists represented, but for the Gentile artists, as well, whose works were vilified as "degenerate" (a previous show at the Neue Galerie exhibited the "degenerate art' by the same curator, Dr. Olaf Peters).
The show opens with Still Lifes. If one were to enter this room with no knowledge of the time and place they were painted, one would guess that they were the works of very disturbed mental patients who happened to be great artists. Even a seemingly harmless painting of a vase with flowers, "Autumn Bouquet" by Rudolf Wacker (Oil, 1938) on close examination depicts dead leaves and flowers whose petals are like dead fingers.
There are four paintings that win the prize for most horror provoking. Karl Volker's "Puppet Theater" (Mixed Technique ,1931-2) in which serious faced children are streaming in to see a creepy puppet show. The puppets cannot be described, except that they are slimy, with faces that horrify. And Volker's "Mask With Balls" (Mixed Technique, 1930), is a gory head on a stick as one might have seen in the village square in Medieval Times.
The power of Expressionism is truly on display here to evoke the oppressive time. The viewer can feel it palpably.
There are two paintings of ugly dolls with old women's heads by Rudolf Wacker, "Sheep And Doll" (Oil, 1934) and "Japanese Doll And Poppy (Oil, 1934). These are not childhood playthings!
Of the paintings in the first room, I was most struck by "Storm" (Oil, 1932) by Franz Sedlacek. His paintings are categorized as Surrealist. A tiny white deer flees eerie trees with dead branches and a black background. But at least in the white deer, one perceives the human spirit.
As you go up the stairs to the 3rd floor gallery, you are assaulted by a horrendous poster by Bruno Heinrich, in which a stereotyped caricature of a Jewish Man with a Jewish Star pendant and a grotesque nose and face stands behind the American and British Flags, "Der Jude Behind The Enemy Flags (1941-3). There is also a photo/poster by John Heartfield, "A Tool Or God's Hand?" in which a man dangles Hitler like a puppet on a string.
There are many works on paper on this floor that are depressing as hell as they depict Hell, with Nazi flags, Hitler with blood coming out his eyes and nose, a soulless faced German soldier with hollowed out eyes, and cartoon drawings from the time.
I was drawn to the Surreal landscapes. Again Franz Sedlacek caught my attention with "Thunderstorm" (Oil, 1936) in which a dark silhouette on a bicycle drives over a bridge under blackening skies, passed a factory with broken windows. The effect is of a silent nightmare. Sedlacek also painted "Rainbow" which, though blunted in color, on a black background on a road reflecting ominous clouds, nevertheless holds out a ray of hope as the rainbow lights up a small patch of green trees.
Richard Oelze's "Expectation" (Oil, 1935) is also a Surrealist painting in which an urban crowd is huddled out in nowhere. It made me think of War Of The Worlds.
The painting that haunted me the most after I left the museum, was "Railway Underpass" (Oil, 1934) by Rudolf Dischinger. Beautifully painted, it portrays an ordinary German mother and her young son. They both have the same sad eyes frozen in place, as a dog forages for scraps on the ground, and the big back of a man in a business suit walks by. That young boy will be sent as a soldier to die in ten years time. So it is, that everyday lives are destroyed by the evil of the times.
The show includes the works of many more familiar names: Max Beckmann, Max Ernst, Oskar Kokoschka, as well as a chilling self portrait by Felix Nussbaum, "Self-Portrait In The Camp" (1946), because tragically, that was where it all lead.
This painting (Oil, 30" H x 40") will be on display at St. Mark's Episcopal Church, 118 Chadwick Road, Teaneck, NJ, for a special Good Friday Service, March 30, 2018, 7:30 pm. The Lenten Sketches, by Joseph M. Martin, inspired by the life and message of Jesus Christ, with the St. Mark's Choir and a Chamber Orchestra. Sixteen paintings will be on exhibit representing, Suffering, Forgiveness and Rebirth. The art exhibit reception will be on April 2, 2018, at the Church from 6-8 pm. The paintings will be for sale.
I just saw this delightful show at the Boca Raton Museum Of Art. It runs till April 8, 2018. Katz has his own style. Those who don't appreciate him say he's too illustrative. But they're missing something. He pares things down to their essentials, and whether he paints on a huge canvas,, or a small one, he captures the essence of a flower, a portrait or a landscape. He is definitely a great American Artist, age 90, and I believe, still painting.
I like his flowers, which use the power of color and shape to speak to the viewer.
Late Summer Flowers, 2011, Oil on Board, 9"X 12"
Yellow Flags, 2011, Oil on linen, 84" X 240"
Nicole, 2015, Oil on board 7" x 16".
Katz is famous for his portraits of women. This one is particularly arresting, as it captures an introspective mood, perfectly.
Night Light, 2005, Oil on Board, 9"x 12".
Night Light, 2005, Oil on Board, 9" x 12". This simple landscape captures the mystery of Winter Snow. He lives in Maine part of the year. His feeling for the landscape, and light in the house, reminds me of Munch. Very sensitive and heightened in feeling. If you escape such a Winter and find yourself in Boca Raton before April 8, I highly recommend this exhibit. And if you can stand slow service in the cause of great Tex/Mex food, I recommend Uncle Julio's across the street.

SDN 101 Webinar is Free – Register Now
In late November I got a perfect excuse for visiting South Africa – I was invited to be a guest speaker at CCIE Club Africa meeting talking about the obvious topics: SDN, OpenFlow and Network Function Virtualization (NFV).
In the end, I delivered three SDN presentations in two days, all of them for engineers focusing primarily on Cisco, and got pleasantly surprised by their keen interest in the basics of these new technologies.
The fantastic SDN-focused discussions I had in South Africa resulted in a new webinar: SDN 101: SDN, OpenFlow and NFV for Skeptics. NEC Corporation was kind enough to sponsor the webinar, making it freely available to anyone who's willing to invest 30 seconds into filling in the registration form. Thank you, NEC!
The Skeptics part of the title comes from the usual questions I get after my SDN presentations: How is this different from what we've been doing in the past? Do we really need this? Are these concepts applicable to my network? Is SDN useful for networks smaller than Google or Facebook? You'll get answers to all these questions during the webinar.

Ian is a deep diver, there is nothing he won't roll up his sleeve to fix!
A recent transplant to Chicago, Ian jumped at the opportunity to join his girlfriend on a new adventure in the midwest. Originally from Salt Lake City he grew up working for the family restaurant and attended the University of Utah. Rather than pursuing a postgraduate degree in psychology he decided instead to go back for Computer Science and has been very happy with that decision
Since graduating most of my work has centered around updating and debugging legacy code and migrating web applications to the cloud. I am also an avid bug hunter and enjoy finding those nasty edge cases, hopefully before they have the chance to ruin a developer's weekend.
Some of my favorite pastimes are cooking for friends, traveling and whenever possible, being outdoors with my 3 dogs Scout, Lady, and Charlie. I also enjoy games of all types and am always up for a good old fashioned game night.
I am not certain I have an absolute favorite word, but I do like "punctilious" and it fits with good software development practices too so that's a plus. My least favorite is the phrase "fair enough" individually the words are just fine but paired together it feels like a combination of "my bad" and "agree to disagree". Fair or not fair, there is no fair enough.
I don't have too much experience with celebrities in real life, but I do get told I look like Diego Luna a lot, so sometimes I pretend.
Bender from Futurama. He seems like the "fun uncle" type and would definitely come in handy if I ever needed to bend any girders.
Thanks for visiting our site and considering Tecture for your next project. We look forward to meeting you.

Green tea and weight loss have received much scientific attention in the face of a growing obesity crisis worldwide.
Human, animal and cell studies on green tea and weight loss have been encouraging. Green tea can help you lose weight through several ways:
– Thermogenesis
Green tea stimulates thermogenesis so that energy is converted into heat and not stored as fat. As metabolism and energy expenditure increase, more calories are burned off.
– Burn fat
Green tea is a natural fat burner that increases fat oxidation.
– Reduce absorption of dietary fat
Green tea promotes excretion and prevents absorption of fat.
– Regulate insulin
Insulin is the hormone that controls blood sugar level and reduces cravings. Eating carbs or sugary foods triggers the release of insulin. Excessive insulin can cause fat storage and prevent fat burning. Hence, it is crucial to keep it under control in order to lose body fat.
What are the ingredients in green tea that help lose weight?
EGCG – the powerful catechin polyphenol that is abundant in green tea.
Caffeine – stimulates the nervous system.
Scientists from the Universitary Medicine Berlin found that a combination of EGCG and caffeine in green tea increased fat burning by about 50% compared to 33% with low EGCG only and 34.5% with caffeine only.
Drinking green tea can enhance your weight loss or support weight maintenance when combined with a regular workout regime and proper diet. Even if you don't need to lose weight, you can still drink green tea for its other health benefits.
Here are some studies and encouraging findings on Green tea and weight loss:
Anti-obesity effects of green tea
"Studies conducted with human subjects report reduced body weight and body fat, as well as increased fat oxidation and thermogenesis and thereby confirm findings in cell culture systems and animal models of obesity."
Efficacy of a green tea extract rich in catechin polyphenols and caffeine in increasing 24-h energy expenditure and fat oxidation in humans
"Green tea has thermogenic properties and promotes fat oxidation beyond that explained by its caffeine content per se. The green tea extract may play a role in the control of body composition via sympathetic activation of thermogenesis, fat oxidation, or both. "
Obesity and thermogenesis related to the consumption of caffeine, ephedrine, capsaicin, and green tea.
"…tea catechins have antiangiogenic properties that may prevent development of overweight and obesity. Furthermore, the sympathetic nervous system is involved in the regulation of lipolysis, and the sympathetic innervation of white adipose tissue may play an important role in the regulation of total body fat in general."

Since I felt fine except having to be near a bathroom today, I DID actually do some ironing and a run with the vacuum cleaner as well as a couple of loads of laundry. It's been nice and sunny so I've brought my coffee out on the porch where I also sat correcting a last test that will be handed out at school tomorrow.
They called me from school and revealed where the trip was going. It was a real flop that I couldn't go since they were going for a ride in the old bus from the 50's around town- with guiding on board. I would've loooooved that! Then a stop at the stables and in the end there is going to be turkey served at the principle's house. She said there were two bathrooms at her house- so I went for the solution of going there when they call me from her house. I'm getting better by the hour anyway. I'm sure it will be back to normal tomorrow.
I journaled while having coffee this afternoon( some of the collage elements are from Nancy Baumiller's collage sheets:

My first layout is based on my sketch for ScrapThat! December Kit.
Everyone is welcome to participate, all entries due by December 30th. (NOTE: Due Date has been extended from the 15th to the 30th this month)
I used the Main Kit and The Embellishment Add On for this layout. The picture was taken last year during Christmas Eve dinner. I mirrored the sketch to suit my picture better.
I had so much fun playing with the chipboard included in this month's kit! For this layout I used this sweet angel by Fabscrap. I stamped the Heartfelt Creations scripts background with brown archival ink and then I embossed a swirl over it with clear embossing powder. I then inked the edges slightly to give it an antique look. Finally, i added accent stickles (Cinnamon) to the edges to make it stand out more.
I handmade some poinsettias and used the little red berries included in the kit as my center. I also handmade some leaves and flourishes and did some fuzzy cutting and added another stickled chipboard to my cluster.
I wanted to include some journaling but ran out of space so I opted for a hidden tag behind the picture.
Here's a sweet fuzzy cut Santa that I added to my cluster. It was the perfect touch to finish this layout!
Thanks for stopping by my blog today. I'm actually going camping tomorrow so it should be fun! I'll be back on Sunday. :)

Hey everyone, one of our hard working iHelp Admins Natalie has had to start a fundraiser to get her own son some help.
She is raising funds so that handsome Harrison can see a Specialist Paediatrician and also get some much-needed Speech Therapy. Please donate or share his Fundraising page on your social networks.
Harrison's Cause Page Link (click me)
Nat's going through a rough patch and is unable to work due to medical problems that she has herself and her husband's work hours have just been cut. She has called all of the possible service providers only to be told that they can't help unless he has an ASD diagnosis. There is a long wait list for him to begin Early Intervention, so she has taken it into her own hands to do something to help him NOW when he needs it the most.
