The ancient Egyptians believed
that life was dependent upon the sun, and they worshiped it by various names
and in various cults. One special name
for the sun was Ra. A great English Egyptologist, Sir
Ernest Budge, suggests that he was introduced into Egypt before it had become a
civilization, and that his attributes most closely resembled Marduk and, in
fact, the name Ra could have been merely a different name for this Babylonian
god. The center of the cult of Ra was
in Lower Egypt in the city of Heliopolis, which was at the crossroads of
caravans from Arabia and Syria, where ideas had probably been exchanged since
Predynastic times.
By the Fourth Dynasty, when Heliopolis had grown in influence, the pharoah became the son of Ra. Under the Fourth Dynasty the priests of Heliopolis became very powerful and succeeded in acquiring pre-eminence for their god Ra over all the other gods of Lower Egypt. So influential were this cult's priests that two of the mightiest kings of the Fourth Dynasty who built the second and third great pyramid at Giza included Ra's name in their own names (Khafre and Menkaure). A tradition of kings calling themselves the "son of Ra" continued throughout ancient Egyptian history even into the Roman period, making Ra one of the most influential of ancient Egypt's gods.

[1] A Hymn of Praise to Ra when he riseth in the Eastern Part of Heaven. The Osiris Ani1, the scribe of the holy offerings of all the gods, [2] saith: "Homage to thee, O thou who hast come as Khepera, creator of the gods. Thou art seated on thy throne, thou risest up in the sky, [3] illuminating they mother Nut2 stretcheth out her hands, and performeth an act of homage to thee. [4] The domain of Manu3 receiveth thee with satisfaction. The goddess Maat4 embraceth thee at the two seasons of the day5 May Ra give glory and power and truth-speaking, [5] and the appearance as a living soul so that he may gaze upon Heru-khuti6 to the Ka7 of the Osiris the scribe Ani, who speaketh truth before Osiris, [6] and who saith: "Hail O all ye gods of the House of the soul, who weigh heaven and earth in the balance, and who give celestial food (to the dead). Hail, Taten, (who art) One,8 [7] thou creator of mortals [and] of the Companies of the Gods of the South and the North, of the West and the East, ascribe ye praise of Ra, the Lord of Heaven, [8] the King, Life, Strength, and Health (be to him), the maker of the gods. Give ye thanks unto him in his beneficent form which is enthroned in the Atett Boat9, [9] beings celestial praise thee, beings terrestrial (gods) praise thee. Thoth10 and the goddess Maat mark out they course for thee day by day and every day. Thine enemy the Serpent11 hath been given over [10] to the fire. The Serpent-fiend Sebau12 hath fallen headlong, his forelegs are bound in chains, and his hind legs hath Ra carried away from him. The Sons of Revolt13 [11] shall never more rise up. The House of the Aged One (Ra) Keepeth festival, and the voices of those who make merry are in the Great Place. [12] The gods rejoice when they see Ra crowned upon his throne, and when his beams flood the world with light. The majesty [13] of this holy god setteth out on his journey, and he goeth onwards until at his birth each day; he proceedeth until he reacheth the place where he was yesterday. [14] O be thou at peace with me. Let me gaze upon thy beauties. Let me journey above the earth. . . . Let me slit asunder the [15] Serpent-fiend Sebau. Let me destroy Aapep14 at the moment of his greatest power. Let me behold the Abtu Fish as his season, and the Ant Fish15 [16] with the Ant Boat as it piloteth it in the Lake. (Let me behold Horus when he is in charge of the rudder [of the Boat of Ra], with Toth and the goddess Maat on each side of him).

The Dean of Salisbury, June Osborne, has been announced as the new Bishop of Llandaff, a diocese which serves most of Cardiff, the South Wales Valleys and the Vale of Glamorgan. A ground-breaking figure in the Church of England, Dean June was the first female Dean to be appointed to a medieval cathedral, a role she has filled for the last thirteen years.
Welcoming her appointment, the Church's senior bishop, the Bishop of Swansea and Brecon, John Davies, said, "In June Osborne, both the Church in Wales and the Diocese of Llandaff will find themselves to be richly blessed. June's track record admirably demonstrates her passion for Christian ministry modelled on the Gospel imperatives of love, justice, inclusivity and openness. All of these are qualities which I and my fellow bishops warmly support and welcome. She is known as a leader with clear vision, a pastoral heart and a strategic mind."
Dean June, said, "Leading a diocese that is so diverse, in an area that is both historic and beautiful, will be challenging but I have an enormous appetite for the task and am deeply honoured to have the opportunity to join a diocesan team which is strong and imaginative. These are turbulent times across the world and the need for faith, and for the confident, distinctive leadership of the Church has never been more important.
Ordained as a priest in England in 1994, Dean June's ministry has been characterised by her passion for equality and diversity and she was a founder of the Church's Leading Women programme. She is also deeply concerned about global poverty and has worked with the Episcopal Church of South Sudan and Sudan on health, theological education and advocacy. She continues to play a key role in the Anglican Communion's commitment to implementing the Millennium Development Goals, and is a member of the Government's Advisory Panel for the Commemoration of WW1.
Bishops of the Church in Wales became responsible for the Bishop of Llandaff appointment when no candidate nominated at the Electoral College in February secured enough votes for election.

Menlo Innovations is a software company in Ann Arbor, Michigan whose style is completely different than anything I've ever seen. They are super focused on their products, their product and their customers. This book tells about the unique culture of Menlo. We throw around the word "culture" a lot – but in this case Menlo's culture is embedded down to the index cards they use.
This book's focus is about joy – about doing productive, meaningful work. It's not a ping-pong table, nap pod type of story – it's about old fashioned, disciplined, focused work.
It's a tremendous read and it's made think of areas of our company that we could incorporate the Menlo way into. I think you will enjoy it. Thank you to my colleague Johan for recommending it. Hopefully we can tour Menlo sometime.

Aquatera Insight Being Used Around Pacific Rim
Experience gained in the seas around Orkney is guiding the development of wave energy generation around the Pacific coast.
Stromness-based consultancy Aquatera is working with local development organisations and research institutes in Taiwan, Oregon and Chile, three areas with rich marine energy reserves.
The company is helping them benefit from the deployment of marine renewables, in ways that ensure local development opportunities and minimise environmental impact.
"International work is always both challenging and exciting," said managing director Gareth Davies. "Our involvement reflects the expertise we've accrued on wave and tidal projects in Orkney and the Pentland Firth and our desire to share that experience with people in other parts of the world."
International assignments in the oil and gas and maritime sectors have taken the Aquatera team worldwide – from Russia to Romania, from the Faroes to the Falklands, from the Caspian to Canada, and from SE Asia to Africa.
In the USA, Aquatera is advising the Oregon Wave Energy Trust (OWET), which is seeking to have 500MW of energy generated from the seas by 2025 – sufficient for 200,000 homes.
"We're examining the possible longer term cumulative impacts from wave energy projects along the coast of Oregon, and developing a framework for managing them," said Dr Davies.
"The state has superb resources and big ambitions to lead the way in wave energy generation in the US. But Oregon also has a vibrant group of coastal communities, sustained by fisheries and tourism, and a rich natural environment with a wealth of wildlife."
OWET has asked Aquatera, who are collaborating with Parametrix, Powertech and Orkney-based EMEC on the project, to find the right balance between development and protection, ensuring that enduring sustainable management solutions are found.
On the other side of the Pacific, in Taiwan, Aquatera is working alongside the local Industrial Technology Research Institute to advise the government on the best way to harness wave energy from Taiwanese waters.
"The waters are calmer than those off Orkney, but they do experience periodic typhoons," said Dr Davies.
"Our role is to identify the most suitable wave technology and best sites for deployment. Subsequently we anticipate overseeing its delivery, installation and operation."
Aquatera's Taiwanese colleagues travelled to Orkney at the start of the project and were delighted to visit the "spiritual home of marine energy" – and to see how renewable have been successfully integrated into the local community.
Community involvement also lies at the heart of the company's work in Chile.
During a visit to Santiago, Dr Davies heard about a group of local scientists and engineers who were promoting the potential for exploiting their country's vast marine energy resources.
Recognising the similarities with OREF, he caught the next plane south to Tierra del Fuego and met up with Sergio Andrade, president of the local renewables group ENERMAR.
Through ongoing dialogue and collaboration it is hoped that a flourishing partnership can be established between these two communities at either end of the globe.

I'm running out of time?!?
So I'm an 18 year old rising sophomore in college. I'm home for the summer and I've been trying to find a job and I just can't!! I've called over 50 places and applied for many and haven't heard anything. I put together a pretty good resume with a lot of skills and it's very organized. Plus I went to a private academy in high school and graduated and now go to a 4 year university.
My summer is going to end quickly and I'm kinda freaking out because I literally can't find anywhere to work. I'm getting an apartment with my roommate from last year and I'm gonna need to help pay for groceries and decorations. Plus I like having my hair done and makeup so I have to support myself. My parents already do enough for me so I have to buy my material things.
I'm really trying to stay calm and keep looking and keep a positive outlook but what should I do? I'm running out of time.

It's the economy, it's not you. Try working for yourself, even if it's mowing lawns. Free advice: You NEVER get rich working for someone else. Get your college degree & then work for yourself.
I work for someone else I work for the state dept and I make more then most people here.

Calling places doesn't mean applying.. so you've applied for some of them. You will never get every job you apply for. Keep applying.

You cant keep calm unless and until you are internally satisfied with the money you are able to earn. Although most of the people are never satisfied with what they are getting but still, if your bare expenses are handled from what you are able to earn then i think that will at least calm your mind.
In that case I would advice (you are free to ignore it), take any menial job you can get so that at least you start earning something. Side by side give time to your skills and resume and see where you are lacking.
When you feel confident with your resume start applying again. I have been in the situation so i can relate.

Murray and Skupski lose Cincinnati Masters semi
Britain's Jamie Murray and Neal Skupski lost their Cincinnati Masters semi-final in straight sets.
Murray and Skupski were defeated 6-1 6-4 by Ivan Dodig and Filip Polasek in the rain-hit match.
A torrential downpour stopped the game for around an hour at 4-3 in the second set, but the delay did not effect the winning duo's dominance.
Murray, 33, and his partner reached the semis by beating his brother Andy and Feliciano Lopez in the previous round.
Bosnia's Dodig and his Slovakian Polasek will play Juan Sebastian Cabal and Robert Farah in Sunday's final, after they defeated Bruno Soares and Mate Pavic 6-3 6-2.

PLA DIY: The Envelope Clutch
This week's DIY was inspired by
this pin
that I keep seeing over and over in my feed. That polka dot clutch! I need! So, as a result of my obsession I scoured the internets for further inspiration to make one myself, and as it turns out, if you can sew a straight line you can make an envelope clutch. For real! Plus, I found my pleather fabric in the scrap bins at my local Joann and was able to make two different styles of clutches for under $5! I plan to use one for date nights and one for my tiny laptop which fits perfectly in it. And guys, Christmas is coming. iPads need carrying cases. Hot friends need hot envelope clutches. This may be your DIY gift you have been waiting for. Let's begin.
What you need:
-Pleather Fabric (Check the scrap bins at your craft store! I was able to find enough to make 2 for $4)
-Acrylic Paint + Paint Brush + Painters Tape
-Brads (I just used the kind from the scrapbook section at Joann)
-Thread + Sewing Machine
How it's made:
To make mine I followed these great instructions from
Swell Mayde
. The measurements and steps for putting the clutches together are so easy and worked great!
The only thing I did differently from these directions is that I didn't make a template first, I just cut away on account of my being a lazy crafter. I also chose to leave a small seam allowance on the flap to fold under and sew to get rid of unfinished edges. However, if you leave yours unfinished with this kind of plastic it doesn't make a huge difference because it holds its shape so well. And people. I cannot tell a lie. These are SO easy. Seriously an under 20 minute situation to cut and sew together. You can make them during an episode of
and still have time to get up for a snack before it is over.
Once you have put the clutches together it is time to embellish! All I did was slap some painter's tape on one, painted the green stripe, then added a gold button. On the other I used a tack to poke holes and add the scrapbook brads. SO easy and so cute. These suckers are sturdy and fashionable and sooo simple to put together. I love! Here they are in action:
Are you "clutching" your chest with excitement?? I thought so.
Make these! You'll love.

Focus on Asia International Film Festival Fukuoka
Festival Director Yasuhiro Hariki's Interview with
Indonesian Cinematographer Gunnar Nimpuno
of "The Jungle School" (2013 / Indonesia)
Note: This is the complete, non-abridged interview conducted during the Focus on Asia International Film Festival Fukuoka 2014, which took place in September, 2014. The interview has been translated from Japanese into English and for this reason, the translated English may not be the same English used by cinematographer Gunnar Nimpuno during the interview.
Hariki: We meet for the first time. Thank you for this interview. I hear your association with film director Riri Riza begins with "The Dreamer".
Nimpuno: That's right.
Hariki: What were you doing before that?
Nimpuno: I entered the advertising business in 1994 and got into motion pictures in 1999. I gained experience in the advertising business but felt working inside a building wasn't for me. I wanted to go outside. I always liked shooting visuals and taking photographs so when I quit my advertising job I went to the UK to study motion pictures. I returned to Jakarta in 1999 and worked as a camera assistant to gain experience in the field. It was from 2003 that I started working as a cinematographer. I met Riri Riza while I was still a camera assistant. I worked with him first in "Three Days Forever" but I was still a camera assistant then. Riri Riza was a good friend of mine. One day he called me to see if I wanted to work with him. This was on a film of his called, "Drupadi". It was an experimental collaborative film, set in Kota Yogyakarta. The shooting of the film took only seven days. It was an interesting motion picture. That was the first time I worked with Riri Riza as a cinematographer. "The Rainbow Troops" was shot by Yadi Sungandi, who I regard as my mentor. Right after that film, we started on "Drupadi".
Hariki: What does "Drupadi" mean?
Nimpuno: "Drupadi" is the wife to 5 brothers who appear in the ancient Indian epic poem "Mahabharata".
Hariki: Was it theatrically released?
Nimpuno: It's a very experimental film. Riri Riza was the film director, Mira Lesmana, the producer and Leila S. Chudori, the writer. Because the 70 minute film isn't of a commercial nature, it's very difficult to present it to international film festivals. Besides, the format is a bit off the standard. It was sort of like mixing together a hybrid film with a film made for theatrical release.
Hariki: How did the audience see this motion picture?
Nimpuno: In the form of a private screening.
Hariki: I'd sort of like to see this film.
Nimpuno: As a matter of fact, I think it's a very interesting film. I feel it's the best out of all the films I've been involved in. I liked it so much I wanted to submit it for my doctorate program in experimental films, which I graduated from in the UK. I think I'm very much suited for this type of film.
Hariki: Is Riri Riza also interested in experimental films?
Nimpuno: It was a time when he really was trying to come up with new techniques in filmmaking. So we did "Drupadi" and immediately afterwards, "The Dreamer". But by then, the method had changed. The story would be structured first into a drama, and then it would be filmed. But as far as media processing, both Riri Riza and I have always tried to test new methods.
Hariki: Isn't "Atambua 39°C" if anything, a more experimental film?
Nimpuno: Exactly. We tried to test the hybrid method. We tried making a hybrid mix of a fictional film and a documentary film. First, we went on film location to film a motion picture based on a true story. This gave us 4 real to life characters. Then by building the story with fictional characters as well, something new came into the motion picture allowing us to film scenes where the two reacted with each other. It was a story that really happened but we were able to create it inside a frame of our motion picture.
Hariki: "The Jungle School" is a drama structured film, isn't it?
Nimpuno: In this case also, we had Butet Manurung's real to life diary, which we re-presented in the form of a motion picture. We transferred the story, which already existed, into a film script so the timeline was the same. However as far as cinematography was concerned, we always had the thought of mixing techniques. We mixed traditional methods of film production with experimental methods. We shot the film where the real story happened and the main characters are people who really exist. However the visual footage used in the film, we created out of fiction.
Hariki: How did Ms. Butet Manurung feel about the film?
Nimpuno: She told us she really loved it! She's very sensitive and has much sympathy towards the people who live in the jungle. She's the type who is easily moved. She starts crying just by looking at these children. So when we showed her our film, she became emotional and began to cry. Children she actually taught appeared as themselves in the film and that's what moved her so much. She also places great anticipation on what the film can achieve.
Hariki: The hope for education as well as the significance of education…I feel Riri Riza's films strongly address these messages. However the interesting thing about him is that he also stresses the point of education destroying traditional society. I think this dilemma is very well presented in his films. Perhaps the interesting thing about him is that he shoulders both the shining light and the dark shadow of modernism.
Nimpuno: Exactly. Knowing him for about five and a half years, I can tell you that he's very interested in guiding and educating the younger generation, which he feels is very important. It's not just limited to film production. In many ways, he has a conscience of wanting to share knowledge with the young. That's why he holds workshops and goes back to his home community to make films. That's one of the reasons why I continue working with him. He's a film director I really like. I feel that when I work with him, I'm always learning something or gaining new knowledge whether it be from the work content or the work process or just working together. Very often I learn about what's being expressed in our films. Riri Riza has been very important to me in the course of building my film career.
Hariki: But here in Japan, we can't be optimistic about education. It's a bit different than in Indonesia. I think Riri Riza's films are wonderful but the matter of fact is that it's different in Japan. So when we see his films, yes we feel that education is important, but reality in Japan is different so there's a conflict. It's difficult to grasp, isn't it? For example by studying, the children of the forest can go to the outside world and enjoy better lives but what happens to education after they do? I think Japan is at this last stage. Education in Japan has become something that's used only to better oneself economically and to make money. Not everyone thinks that's just but under Japan's present economic society, no one can do anything about it and social constraints are becoming stricter. In other words this isn't fundamental education anymore.
Nimpuno: That's scary. Indonesia has such a diverse sub-culture. Its level of growth is also very diverse. Everyone thinks education is very important, especially for our children's future. But even we don't think that the content of our educational can be made the same. That's because our education has to be administered in an environment, which takes into account all our different cultures and growth levels. What's so great about Butet's method is that it first begins by going into regional culture to find out what its needs are. After getting the answer, her style then makes special arrangements to education. When the (jungle) tribes receive new knowledge, they then come up with their own form of education, based on what they've learned, that will give them growth on their own terms. Butet believes that our country will fall into a state of utter confusion if the content of education was made the same and administered throughout Indonesia.. I think this is what's so great about her style of education.
Hariki: I think it's a good thing to accept diversity. But when the war ended in Japan, the country homogenized education and because of this, diversity has virtually disappeared. While the country became strong economically it has become very poor, culturally. It's very unfortunate. I wouldn't want to see Indonesia go after the Japanese model (chuckle).
Nimpuro: We'll all have to try our best so that doesn't happen (chuckle)
Hariki: I believe that even Riri Riza has to think about what should be done after these people get their advanced education. I felt he thought about this significantly in "Three Days Forever".
Nimpuro: Exactly.
Hariki: That's why I think he may go back to education, but what really are his future plans?
Nimpuro: Back in his home community, he's involved in a really good project that binds culture with education. Every year he does these projects that targets the youth from the eastern region of Indonesia. One of these is the film production project and there's one for script writing as well. He invites people from the outside. For example he invites me from Jakarta or someone from the Philippines to his home district to have us relay new knowledge to the young. That's the movement he's involved in. So as I see it, what he's doing is fostering the young in his home community in a way that enables them to keep their roots in the community while creating something new from their culture using new medium. Wanting people to do creative work after understanding and grasping their culture is Riri Riza's style. I feel this can be a role model for other projects. But his future plan is a mystery to me.
Hariki: (Jokingly) Does he have any interest in going into politics?
Nimpuro: (Jokingly) I think he hates politicians.
Hariki: (Jokingly) I'd like him to be the kind of politician that can expand and widen culture. He should become a politician who can secure budgets.
Nimpuro: (Jokingly) I'd like him to do that, too. By the way, Riri Riza and I assisted in the campaign to elect Joko Widodo for President.
Hariki: He got elected, didn't he?
Nimpuro: Yes he did. Riri Riza and I were volunteers in his election campaign.
Hariki: (Jokingly) I'd like him to become Minister of Culture.
Nimpuro: (Jokingly) Um…but I think Mira Lesmana, the producer, is more fit for that post.
Hariki: (Jokingly) I can understand that. I think she's better at politics than he is. I'm sorry for the brevity of our meeting. Thank you so much for today.

Tyler, The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Syd & Hodgy Reunite for Odd Future Set
On Wednesday, Los Angeles nightclub Low End Theory prepared to close its doors for the final time after a decade in business. During the big send-off, Tyler, The Creator, Earl Sweatshirt, Syd, and Hodgy Beats performed on stage, running through a repertoire of OFWGKTA hits.
Sadly, the full crew wasn't in attendance but the trio more than made up for the other members' absence. Tyler took to the stage to perform his own hits, at one point pausing to reflect on the group's prior shows at the venue, before teaming up with Syd, Earl and Hodgy to perform "Orange Juice" and "Rella."
Other attendees including A$AP Rocky and Ty Dolla $ign were also there to bid the venue farewell. Check out some clips from the night below.
Yesterday, Tyler, the Creator dropped a surprise video for "See You Again." Watch below.

Requiem For US Border Agents events

Today's event at the state capitol went ok,
I hit some thick traffic on the way in which put me about 20 minutes late, but when I got there and started setting up, a news crew approached me and asked if I was with SOS. They asked to film me setting up the flagpole and display, so of course I accomodated them. Towards the end, another guy with a camera showed up and took some shots for a weekly paper. After the flag was raised, I gave an interview with the first one. I'm not sure how much will end up in print, but I covered all the main points and answered all her questions. After they left, I parked the truck so as to avoid any further parking tickees, and walked back to the capitol.
The display attracted a lot of people. Some glanced, some read while they walked by, some stopped and read, and some did the double take after walking by and came back. There were zero detractors. several people thanked me for doing it.
A few legislators walked by, one being Mark Leno, who glanced, but apparently didn't want to stop. I did the prayer at 12:00 noon, but decided against the protest since the display seemed to be frequented more when I wasn't there. I think this type of memorial event begs for people who don't want confrontation or to be bothered in any way by anyone else. Best to just sit back and reap the rewards from afar.
At dusk, I rolled the flag down, and one CHP asked if they were going to watch it all night for us!
I then dismantled and loaded up the parts.

Meg Ryan is one of my very favorite humans. When I watch Sally in When Harry Met Sally, I feel personally identified by Meg Ryan and her embodiment of this fabulously spunky, independent, tender, and wide-eyed woman who acts a whole lot like how I feel most of the time. It's my favorite movie and I watch it more than a person should watch a single movie probably. Aka, a heck of a lot.
On a recent viewing (and, oh, there have been many) I paid particular attention to Sally's wardrobe. Sally's known for her stylish and just down-right-great wardrobe (despite the strange khaki short and knee socks incident in the first scene that's weird but we all love her even more for it). Sweaters, leather gloves, great button-ups, all sorts of tweed, a truly fabulous hat. She's just made it through a break-up, she has her own mostly pink apartment, and she looks darn good!! I watch the movie, I look at Sally, I feel her feels, I get her. And she looks pretty much just like how I want to look in the world. A lovely girl in lovely, sturdy clothes that all go together and outfit her for her life in her world. Sure, it's all sort of 1989-ified, but the general style principles still hold. Dainty gold earrings, sturdy leather shoes, slim pants, great coats, gorgeous sweaters. Sally's got style. All gorgeous and sensible clothing, lots of tweed and wool and leather. Sensible, practical. Sally exclaims it herself, "Women are very practical!" before making a passionate and hasty judgement of Ingrid Bergman's decision at the end of Casablanca which she later takes back. In this moment she applauds Ilsa's practicality in getting on the plane. Later, amazed at her earlier opinion, Sally decides Ilsa should have stayed with Rick. Of course she should have. But sweet stubborn 22-year-old Sally has to hold to her half-baked feminist ideas in front of Harry and all his confusing man brain aggression on the road trip from Hell, you know? But I digress.
Women are very practical and Sally certainly is, but she also knows how it feels to be inconsolably irrational, all spirally and sad. When she finds out that her ex is getting married, Sally pouts "I'm difficult," weeps in her bathrobe all over Harry's sweater, asks him to hold her a little longer, sleeps with him and feels so completely weird about it that it keeps her from feeling okay about hanging out with him for weeks, ignoring his charming voicemails, yelling at him at weddings, and not believing that he really is in love with her until he tells it to her straight to her face. This, friends, is where I completely identify with Sally, her confusion at her feelings, her shame for her actions that seemed like an okay/good thing at the time, her wanting to reconcile but feeling like she messed things up, her deep sadness and fear that she will never truly be matched by anyone, and her need to be told, truly told, what is good about her sometimes.
Sally is all sorts of woman, all the practical, all the lovely, and all the irrational. She is marvelously high maintenance because she knows what she wants. She is completely quirky without even trying. She is far lovelier than she even knows. She is feminine, sweet without sacrificing her smarts, and quick to laugh at all Harry's jokes. And that is what's so great about her. All those things rolled into a sweater-wearing woman who wants the dressing on side, smiles easily, is willing to get a giant Christmas tree just for herself, likes to browse bookstores, can't carry a tune, takes tap dancing classes, and weeps when she sees her best friend's wedding dress. Sally is wonderful.
I went ahead and made a truly obsessive list of every piece of clothing Sally wears in the film and how. I love her mixing and matching, her obvious rewearing of favorite pieces. She is sort of living the capsule life, in a way! Yes, of course, it is a movie, but I applaud the costume designer, Gloria Gresham, for making Sally feel like a real woman wearing real clothes.
This list moves chronologically, and I'm not making clear indications of what scene each outfit is attached to except for some little hints sometimes, so if you're a fan of the film you can try to remember what scene is happening based on the outfit! SUCH NERD FUN! And if you're not a fan of the film, BECOME ONE!
Also, if there is an article of clothing that doesn't appear in one of the outfits, like pants, it's because they never pan the camera down far enough to see them. I'm jazzed up by the idea of Sally's mystery pants. MYSTERY PANTS!!!!!!!!
I'm also including some of my favorite quotes from the film attached to the outfits, just for fun. Passion projects, you guys. It's important.
- Navy cardigan, yellow button up, little leather watch, little gold earrings, leather belt, leather shoulder bag, weird khaki shorts, navy knee socks, leather oxfords.
- Tweed blazer, white button up, red tie, little gold earrings, leather watch.
- Tweed jacket with big buttons all buttoned up, pearls, little gold hoops, silver watch. MYSTERY PANTS.
- Brown blazer, slim blue jeans, thick knit red turtleneck (truly fabulous), wire-rimmed glasses, "someone is staring at you in personal growth," little gold hoop earrings, black leather bag, leather shoes, black leather watch, leather belt.
- Wire glasses, black cardigan with big brown buttons, white shirt, cool gold pin on cardigan, red shirt also layered under somehow (confusing wardrobe magic/maybe a goof up?)
- Pink leotard, white oversized button-up, black skirt, black tights, tap shoes, too good. (The most eighties outfit in the film, hands-down).
- Black blazer, black leather watch, white sweater with a sort of cowl neck (??? or maybe made of silk. Unsure), wire glasses, crazy arm gestures, classic Sally.

- Pajamas with a little pink pattern.
- Grey short jacket, black leather gloves, brown pants, leather shoes, GREAT BROWN HAT, brown sweater with red flecks and white spots, black leather bag, "I think you should wear skirts more. You look really good in skirts."
- Red turtleneck, black skirt, black tights, gold earrings, little black flats.
- Grey v-neck sweater, white shirt with weird grey design and two buttons on top, fake orgasm and no one's mad, pearl earrings, black pants.
- Fantastic grey wool coat (seriously, want it), black scarf, brown gloves, black bag, grey-brown pants, brown leather shoes/boots (??? unsure)
- Black heels, black tights, fantastic ruffly off-the-shoulder black party dress, fun dangly earrings, "see? now we can dance cheek to cheek."
- Brown trench coat, white silk shirt, little black bag, black cardigan with deep v-neck, cool silver stud earrings, silver watch.
- White turtleneck, black bag, high-waisted blue jeans, leather belt, brown leather loafers with white socks, and a house-plant.
- Pink dress with scalloped neckline AND POCKETS, dainty gold necklace, gold bracelet, "he's too tall to talk to"
- Pink fuzzy robe, white socks, nothing else???
- White silk shirt with weird neck, black pants.
- Grey blazer, white button up, leather belt, black shorts, black tights, gold earrings, "oh marie."
- Green bridesmaids dress, cool gold necklace, matching gold earrings, matching bracelet, "I am the dog?" black tights, black heels.
- Great hat, khaki coat (also want), brown leather gloves, skinny blue jeans, big-ass Christmas tree, brown boots, black leather bag
- Wire glasses, purple turtleneck, blue jeans, leather belt
- Grey tweed button up jacket, black pants, brown trench coat, black bag.
- Pretty necklace, blue strapless party dress with weird arm bands, "anyway, it's about old friends"
- Cool white wrap shirt, black pants, happily ever after.
And now, QUIZ!!! See if you can match the picture to the outfit! Isn't this fun????? I'm having fun, at least.
And, finally, SHOP SALLY. Some links to some very Sally clothes available on the internet! A modern take, to be sure, but great basics that Sally would be proud of. Clothes are meant to be worn and reworn, mixed and matched. Take a page from Sally and rock some classics to be worn over and over again.

As promised last week, another four of my favourite images from the past twelve months.
Thanks for your interest over the past months. You've been great company.
All the best for 2019 🙂 🙂
As promised last week, another four of my favourite images from the past twelve months.
Thanks for your interest over the past months. You've been great company.
All the best for 2019 🙂 🙂
As the end of the year approaches I seem to find myself looking back over the last twelve months – thinking about what HAS happened, what IS happening and what the new year will bring.
In amongst all that I look for the favourite images that I've created over the year. So here are four of them – maybe another four next week to see out the tail end of 2018.
Wherever you are, whatever you may be doing over the Xmas period – be safe and have a good one! And of course, my best wishes to you and yours for 2019. 🙂 🙂
Not much incentive to venture outside in this cold grey weather. So I've hunkered down in my (Slightly) warmer garage/studio and taken more studies of shop-purchased flowers.
Fairly weak on identifying which is what, but then it's the image that counts. Hope you agree. 🙂
The 'Purple Macro' is a single shot. I've just rediscovered my Sigma Ring Flash and dragged it out for this shot. With the flower-head just a couple of inches in front of the 60mm macro lens, even lighting is always going to be difficult. There are still some dark shadows in the centre of the image, but I think I can live with those.
The "Ornamental Kale" shot is a focus-stacked image – 18 individual layers, merged together in Photoshop CC to give the deeper depth of field.
All taken on the Olympus E-M1 MkII with a 60mm macro lens. Will Olympus ever bring out a macro lens in their Pro Lens series?
Bowtruckle is, apparently, a character for the Fantastic Beasts film, book, comic (?), I'm not sure which.
But this bendy little toy, seen in a local toy shop, looked like potential shoot material. So here she/he is – in a studio constructed version of what Bowtruckle's home looks like (in my imagination!!)
An early morning walk in Epping Forest took us to Connaught Water, a large stretch of water near Chingford.
Not great light, but thankfully the rain held off. The second image is of some tree branches close to the water – a 25 second exposure taken with a 'big stopper' filter to give the water that soft, creamy look.

The latest issue of Japan Defense Focus is out. You could check it out here, although it isn't terribly interesting. To be honest, no, it is not interesting at all, even to policy people. Or anybody, really.
The best part is the photo above, in which someone has added pink coloring to the smoke dischargers, creating a lovely cherry blossom-like effect. That must be a real crowd-pleaser at the Fuji Firepower Review.

Voices of The People: What Protest and Popular Politics In Medieval Europe Can Teach Us
Dr Amanda McVitty:
In modern democracies, principled protest is a healthy sign of political engagement as is the ability of all citizens to voice political opinions publicly. By contrast, medieval Europe is commonly viewed as a place where the many were uniformly downtrodden and silenced by the few. But were medieval people really so voiceless?
Between 1200 and 1500, the political elite who dominated national and local governments battled popular resistance in everything from public libels and petitions to tax strikes and violent revolts. Historian Amanda McVitty explains how and why the voices of the people emerged as a formidable and unpredictable force, and explores the strategies ordinary men and women used to protest injustice, defy corrupt leaders, and demand change.
Doors open at 6pm.
Free parking onsite.
Light refreshments provided.

Dear Danish Postal Service,
Thank you muchly for taking so good care of my package.
I can tell you love getting packages, as much as I do, by the length of time you like to keep them. I can also tell you like to hug them, and so do I, but please take care when it says 'GLASS' and 'FRAGILE' on the outside.
I also apreciate that you have not forgotten where I live. I may not get much besides bills and adds, and it may be just a small road, but the number of houses here are happy to recieve their mail all the same. And I want to thank you for getting your own 'notice of failed delivery' into my mailbox, to let me know I had had a delivery. Never mind that it took 12 day to get here, since your holding packages for 14 days, leaves me plenty of time for picking it up.
Please also extend my grattitude to your friends the customs office, whose services has now completely put me off international shopping.
All the Best,
I did get my glass in the end, but I also got to pay the nice people at the customs. My $45 order ended up costing an additional $94 in total for shipping and customs, so I might as well have bought it local. It's a shame because there is so many tempting goods I'd love to shop for, but I'll have to consider if it is worth it a couple of times over from now on, and I'm thinking it is not. This definately includes the kiln I have on my list for the near future ...

Fills Gaps of Windows 8 SDK to Enable Developers to Build Exciting and Engaging Business and Consumers Metro Apps
WALTHAM, MA, July 11, 2012 – Telerik, an end-to-end provider of software application lifecycle and content management solutions, today announced the open beta of its RadControls for Metro Toolset, the first available vendor-provided user interface suite that targets the Windows 8 platform. Target customers include HTML and XAML developers who want to build Metro apps, either for the enterprise or for consumers, which run on tablets or large screen devices. Any interested parties can download a trial version, including the source code for both the XAML and HTML versions of the app, here.
Windows 8 bridges the gap between end-users' expectations for apps that provide an exciting and engaging experience and an enterprise's need for security and application management capabilities. Supporting both multi-touch and traditional keyboard and mouse interface, Windows 8 provides an intuitive, productive way for users to work that introduces new possibilities for mobile productivity.
"Microsoft's Windows 8 platform is driving convergence between the tablet and PC market," stated Chris Sells, Vice President of Telerik's Developer Tools division. "Telerik's RadControls for Metro Toolset enables our customers to rapidly build fluid Metro apps with rich data visualization, and tap into the burgeoning opportunity that the Win 8 platform is creating."
Since its preview at TechEd, two new controls have been added to the UI suite, which include "DatePicker" and "TimePicker" for XAML. Also available is a sample application for developers titled, "Metro dashboard for XAML and HTML," that demonstrates how to leverage the powerful features of Telerik Metro Charts and Gauges, using a real-world scenario, that presents data to users in an appealing and meaningful way.
Release Webinar
Developers can register for a webinar that explores opportunities for building Windows 8 apps and how RadControls for Metro will help developers be more productive. To learn more about the webinar and sign-up, visit here.

You name it, New Yorks got it. Lets see, a trip to New York would naturally take weeks, if not months to complete and if you dont go to the Empire State Building, Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, American Museum of Natural History, The Guggenheim and Madame Tussards Wax Museum, youve not even been to New York even if your plane landed into New York! And theres really a lot more to see in New York.
Lets just say that if youre traveling to New York alone, you need more than just a map of New York to make the most of your New York trip. Knowing where to eat, what to look at and how to get around in New York, in itself, will zap all your energy. Lets take the Empire State Building in New York as an example. The Empire State Building is worth visiting not only because of its gargantuan stature, but because at night, the Empire State Building lights up magnificently providing viewers with an awe inspiring sight. In the Empire State Building of New York itself, there are drawings and paintings submitted by kids all around the world. From the top of the Empire State Building, youll get a grand spectacular view of the Big Apple and the metropolitan area surrounding it. A view of the whole of New York from just riding an escalator? Thats the Empire State Building for you!
And the symbol of the United States of America, the Statue of Liberty. The fact that its located conveniently in the New York is not a matter of chance, but since its located in New York and youre in New York, why not take a ride down to the Statue of Liberty to take a look at what the Statue can give you? By going INTO the Statue of Liberty, youll get a special view how the Statue of Liberty was created. The engineering is marvelous. Its amazing how many people DONT know that the Statue of Liberty was not built in the United States of America. The Statue of Liberty was a gift from France to America and it was built in France in 1875 and it was completed in 1884 and the magnificent Statue of Liberty was presented to USA on July 4th 1884. The statue was actually dismantled, shipped and then reassembled in the USA.
A visit to Ellis Island will surely take you back in time because although Ellis Island is thought to be a part of New York, Ellis Island is actually a part of New Jersey. Ellis Island is named after the owner of Ellis Island, Samuel Ellis. There are many historical places, tourist sights, museums and parks for New York sightseers.
The Guggenheim, in the meantime, is a museum located in New York. With its extensive collection of art, it will surely astound you. The magnificent setting and collection in the Madame Tussards Museum Wax Museum will not disappoint you either.

Single Sign-On
You may have heard of SSO, but maybe you are not sure what it is and if it would be helpful for your organization? Single sign-on (SSO) is an authentication process that allows a user to access multiple applications with one set of login credentials. This means, the login credentials you use every day on other systems within your company, can be connected to Passport in a way that does not require you to manage separate logins.
SSO advantages include:
- Improves compliance through centralized user management.
- Eliminates credential reauthentication and reduces help desk requests; thus, improving productivity.
- Streamlines local and remote application and desktop workflow.
- Minimizes phishing.
Passport supports Single-Sign-On (SSO) for your organization via SAML/2.0 Gateway. Once SSO has been enabled for your account, it is no longer possible to sign in with login name and password on the Sign In page.
SAML Integration
Passport allows your users to sign in via your SAML/2.0 Identity Provider (IdP).
This includes organizations with their own SSO infrastructure, as well as organizations using services such as OneLogin and Active Directory Federation Services (ADFS). When SAML is configured, we will give you a unique login link to Passport. Hitting this link will trigger the SSO process and log your users into their Passport account.
We will supply the following information:
- SAML login URL (where a user should visit to initiate a login)
- The SAML metadata from the Passport system to act as the Service Provider (SP)
To configure SAML, we simply require two pieces of information:
- The Identity Provider Details, in the form of your SAML metadata XML
- Passport Users provisioned by file (preferred) or manual addition. The format of the files and guidance on user management can be found here.
And that's it!
If you have a SAML or system administrator, you can provide them with the information we will supply to you, and have them contact firstname.lastname@example.com directly to coordinate the integration.
SAML Technical FAQs
- Does the application support SAML 2.0? Yes
- Is SP-initiated Sign-On supported (SP-initiated is when you visit subdomain.cultureamp.com, you get bounced to an SSO login screen and then returned to Passport)? Yes
- What assertions are needed to send in the SAML token? "urn:oasis:names:tc:SAML:1.1:nameid-format:emailAddress" Passport will use the email address to link Passport users to your users
- Does the application support SSO Federation? Yes
- Does Passport support a Multi IDP Environment? No
- Does Passport support provisioning user accounts through SAML? No, clients will need to provision Passport user accounts via file (preferred) or manual addition. The format of the files and guidance on user management can be found here.
- Does Passport support welcome emails to new users? Yes the application will provide a custom Welcome Email that can be sent at the client's discretion for directing users to the correct login URL. This email will not include any reference to password.
If you are interested in SSO, please reach out to the Client Success or Business Development team to discuss adding it to your services.
