The Kitchen were commissioned by Octapharma to develop a new signage system as part of a refurbishment of their corporate offices in Vienna.
We developed a folded graphic idea and material application to suit the very bright and airy space. Our aim was to implement visual impact without disrupting the space. All signage was produced in stainless steel, colour coded according to Octapharma's corporate colours and mounted off the wall to add depth to a somewhat flat space.

Allergies, nasal congestion, and airway obstruction can affect the sleep of up to 10% of children. Symptoms that suggest allergies or nasal congestion may be affecting your child's sleep include:
Sometimes pediatric nasal congestion and snoring can be associated with a condition called obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). However, unlike adults, the symptoms in children may be very subtle. Children do not always stop breathing completely and snoring may be very mild. #OSA in children is usually due to enlarged tonsils / adenoids and swollen nasal passages. Treatment usually consists of surgical removal of the adenoids and tonsils and diagnosing and treating allergies if present.
The impact of OSA on a child's development and overall quality of life can often be dramatic. Dr. Rotskoff has a unique expertise in the clinical diagnosis and treatment of pediatric allergies, snoring, and OSA.
Clarity Allergy Center provides comprehensive pediatric nasal congestion testing, diagnosis and treatment in Chicago and Arlington Heights.

I've never had a cat at home. Just from my curiosity, I visited a cat cafe near my house. There were about ten pedigreed cats in the cafe and they were so cute!!! It was very nice place to relax playing with cats.
When I went to karaoke last month, the shop gave me a free ticket of playing "Purikura". Purikura is an instant photo booth and normally placed in the game center. I took my pictures by the machine and they made me surprise. The pictures are different from real me! They are far more young and cute. All wrinkles and spots were disappeared because I was lit up from all angles. In addition, it seems that the lines of my face was edited too. I don't want to show you my before-after photo here, so let me give you other people's examples.
I don't think my purikura photos have a big difference like these. If you are interested in them, check out my Twitter account.
Photoshop software can edit as you like too. Examples Where Photoshop Makes Pics Better Don't believe everything you watch!
Two hamsters joined our family a few months ago. My daughter was eager to have a pet. So I thought a small one would be nice to take care of. We bought two one-month-old hamsters at a pet store. They were both male, of course. If they were a breeding pair, we would be troubled by a lot of baby hamsters. At first, I let them live in the same cage, but one of them wasn't active. The other one ran around energetically. I thought they weren't getting along well and bought another cage to keep them apart. However, the inactive one died soon after this. The active one is still alive. It is said that the lifetime of hamsters is only two years. How short!
On the other hand, my daughter is leaving home. She was accepted to a college which is located far away from home. Recently I've been busy for helping her move. In Japan, the new school year starts in April, not September. I think spring is a good season to start something. I wish her good luck with her new life!
This post is about Kumamoto where I live again. In Kumamoto city, the tram cars run around downtown. I sometimes see a tram painted colorfully. The other day, when I was driving my car, the Keroro tram passed by me. Have you heard "Sgt. Frog" (Keroro Gunso)? It is a popular cartoon in Japan. Check out Wiki. This comic artist grew up in Kumamoto.
Here is another Keroro tram. I watched Sgt.Frog on TV for the first time when I traveled to Hong Kong. He seems to be popular even overseas.
In the tram, Keroro announces the next stop. His voice is very cute.
What kind of phone are you using? I've had my current mobile phone for a little more than 2 years. It's a basic Sony model. The phone itself was free, provided that I use it at least two years. I use a few of the phone's functions, such as text messaging and the alarm clock. Moreover, I use its camera, which performs better than my digital camera.
However, I never use my phone to connect to the internet. That would cause my monthly fee to jump up. I usually stay at home and use my laptop, so there is no need for it. The number of people using smart phones and tablets has been rapidly increasing in recent years.
I bought a WiFi model iPad mini last month. This is my first time purchasing Apple products. This is a very convenient tool for outside use. It's handy and the right size for my bag. The covered iPad mini looks like a book. I only had to pay for the device itself: no other monthly fee are needed. I use many different functions and apps including Skype. At first, it seems strange when speaking into my iPad, but I'm gradually getting used to it. There are many useful apps for free. Maybe I'm getting close to becoming "high-tech"
By the way, my son also bought an iPod touch. He is always playing the game "Puzzle and Dragons" which is very popular in Japan now(>_<)
It's getting warmer and warmer day by day. Now the cherry trees are in full bloom in Kumamoto. Last Saturday, my family went to see the cherry blossoms in a park which is very close to my house. People were having a picnic lunch under the trees. Children were sliding down the grassy slope, and playing on the grass with a ball or jump rope.

We are ABC License Company.
California Liquor License Consultant isn't a job peddled by many guidance counselors, but we could argue that it should be.
We do this odd and wonderful work because we love what you do. We enjoy perfecting applications, it's true. And we get great pleasure from successfully negotiating your later close times and wrangling the Alcoholic Beverage Control investigators with our savvy and charm.
Because ultimately, the California restaurant industry is a vibrant world to spend our days, and we wouldn't have it any other way.
Chef, GM, Beverage Directive, Sommelier, we are beyond pleased to make your acquaintance.
I'm Carrie Peters, Owner, Founder, fixture at your restaurant.
I have done this work exclusively for over 20 years. First in the excellent legal firm of Hinman Carmichael, then Farella Braun + Martel, and finally on Maiden Lane at Haas & Najarian. I realized several years ago that I could bring this quality of service to restaurateurs and bar owners without bogging them down with the excesses of working with a law firm. So in 2012, ABC License Company was born, and I am thrilled to know and assist so many inspiring culinary businesses in the great state of California.I was born in Southern California and grew up in the agricultural oasis of the Sacramento River Delta. Summers during my college years were spent working in my grandmother Josephine's Los Angeles Italian restaurant, Barone's. She was a glamorous and formidable woman, and she taught me the value of paying for great service and going for what you want. With this experience, combined with my youth spent in farm country, I could not help but be passionate about food– every aspect of it. This industry is in my blood.
I'm Jemma Jorel Lester, Director, hospitality enthusiast.
Growing up in the beautiful Hudson Valley of New York State, I have early memories of the flavors, textures, and origins of food, as we were situated in the heart of some of NY's best farmland and across the Hudson River from the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. From dinner at the legendary Ship Lantern Inn (where I was called Miss America by the career waiters who still work there) to my father's lifelong quest to make the perfect hot and sour soup, I was constantly stimulated by food and hospitality. My family has always expressed love through food, and it early became a language I revert to with loved ones as well. I'm fascinated by the entire process, from farming to preparation to pairing, and I do not take the quality offered in our innovative Bay Area for granted. I love being involved in all the magic that happens here. The liquor license process we manage allows great food to be made and employs some of the most interesting people imaginable. It's an honor to provide hospitality to the best hospitality purveyors in the business.
I'm Paola Hurtado, Associate, OCD before it was cool.
As Carrie maneuvers bureaucratic red tape, I assist her with preparing precise applications on behalf of our clients. Before joining Carrie, I studied at the Academy of Art University in San Francisco and worked under a world-renowned publisher of limited edition artists' books. I enjoyed indulging in the meticulous nuances of operating a vintage Vandercook letterpress. An artist by nature, I have the ability to see the big picture and the discipline to focus on the details. I constantly push the boundaries of creative thinking to drive at the most thorough and organized approach to every project.I was born in Curitiba, Paraná in the south of Brazil – a place that is known for its botanical gardens, sophisticated population and unparalleled infrastructure. The technology industry lured my father to the Silicon Valley allowing us the opportunity to live throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. I settled with my husband in Oakland – strategically located in the heart of our clientele – where I am delighted to sample a harmonious blend of cultural diversity, delectable cuisine and captivating nightlife. This love affair isn't a fling.

A Production of Grist: A Journal of the Literary Arts
"I prefer to be reminded that what I am seeing is not quite real,"
the famous photographer says, shifting portraits
with half-developed coronas into the bath and out while the reporter,
erasing a word, shakes her head at the caustic smell.
Dispossessed in the heavy red glow, she writes What better place than this
for insanity? Nothing feeds it like the eye. Unprompted, the photographer
says: "Everything I knew of gesture I learned by the age of nine.
Thereafter, I became concerned only with the space from which bodies
emerge, until I turned eleven, when I was taken to the ballet." He pauses.
"Yes—to the Kirov Ballet. The prima, she—she was witchgrass against skin,
evening's vellum over the steppe, an azimuth by which I might measure,
for the first time, the concept of God." He turns away. "I cannot—"
Frustrated by memory, the reporter writes. She lifts a negative
to the red bulb, which casts shadow onto her shoulders.
"Can you imagine"—the old man suddenly turns—"another
silhouette to take her place?" His pale eyes long, as torn things do,
to once again be whole.
* * *
"The day's frustrations leap and disappear like dust clapped out from a doormat,"
he says. He clicks through the carousel
and roseate color clouds the screen: a woman
looking over her shoulder at a man in a suit leaving the house.
The photographer gestures and says, "I consider this my mythic work.
Gorgeous fragments of love pass between them and they try
not to overthink their suspicious lives."
A band of gold glints above the reporter's notepad.
She writes creates narrative where there is none.
"Surely you have been in love," he says. "Is it not unlike lightning
striking a tree, which for years after continues to grow but never blooms?"
He coughs and taps a cigarette out on his palm. "And isn't it like
a holy city in the unnavigable reaches of some rainforest?
You can watch as the pilgrims give up trying to reach it.
The wheels of their covered wagons breaking on the roots…
their empty boots like islands in the mud."
His lighter opens a flame in the dark.
"Though of course in the end one prefers ruined cities.
Have you ever woken to find yourself
in the ruins? They are always so familiar."
* * *
Professes skepticism of Freud but loves to play the analysand,
the reporter writes. Her pencil carves the quiet morning apart.
She thinks of the recurring dream the photographer feigned
reluctance to tell: "I do not like dreams. They reek of self-importance.
But in this one, I am pulling a man by his shirt collar from a lake
that does not exist to a porch that does, where my family watches,
gaunt and strangely shining. It is winter—the trees have disrobed
to their shameless charcoal limbs. The wet fabric in my hand begins
to tear, and I wake." Through the guest room window
she can see the gathered folds of conifers reaching into the low hills.
She writes, How does a sunrise define the day to come?
She walks to the kitchen and finds him
at the table with two mugs, staring at a pot of coffee.
She sits and writes Often lost in thought, a guest even in his own rooms.
She reaches for a mug and sips the coffee, which has been sweetened
to the point of nausea. He watches her cough it down
and says, "Every morning I consume the same pot of coffee, in which
is dissolved two cups of sugar. I believe it to be the closest
approximation to the nectar hummingbirds drink."
He drains his mug in a single practiced motion.
Smiling, he says, "Your hand is trembling.
There is no cure for that
except becoming a hummingbird."
* * *
Possible title: Lear Maddening on the Heath,
the reporter writes, following the photographer into the north wing.
Too oblique, but the gist is there. Soft, jaundiced light falls against
the polished boiserie of the hallway, above which
a series of portraits hang. To be born into this
kind of wealth is a sort of illness, she writes. The photographer says
nothing until they reach his studio, a spotless, white cube of a room.
She writes, If a cliché is taken to its logical extreme,
does it circle around and become original? He nods his head back
toward the hallway and says, "I never speak in that corridor. It is where
the dead reside. They are mute, and to utter anything
in their presence is gravely impolite, for they cannot respond."
He turns, then stops and says, "Art, by the way,
is whatever we do to embellish death. Write that down."
She does not. He walks to the center of the blinding floor.
"A week ago this room was red. Before that, lavender.
Before that, a painstaking damask. Each layer of paint makes
the room smaller. I intend to live to see the room disappear."
Just inside the hallway, he opens a closet
where dozens of paint cans line the walls.
"Please help me," he says, motioning toward them.
* * *
"After all, what is this adopted landscape if not lifetimes spent in the study of
the photographer says. He nods toward the untouched trees
pressed tight to the balcony. "What does nature say that we do not
put in its mouth?" The air has a dull orange hue, as though the sun
were a lone piece of stage lighting left humming into the night,
forgotten as the actors depart to receive their roses in the atrium.
"Centuries ago wolves in Scotland would disinter graves during famine.
I like to imagine the villagers as sculptors,
patching the throats and jaws of their fathers
then burying them again on a holy island off the coast."
The reporter writes Lover of counterfactuals, lover of the bright unreal country.
"Of course by 1750 the wolf had been hunted to extinction
in Scotland," he says. "Nothing gray can stay, no?"
He runs his hand along the stonework. "And what of my kind,"
he says. "Will I be hunted to extinction? In what sort of light
am I to be portrayed?" The reporter's words fade
as she writes; she shakes the pen and presses harder.
The light that quickens and dismantles, composes, suffuses, but does not—
The pen dies, leaving nothing in its wake. The photographer
rubs his eyes. The dark palisade of trees
moves casually with the wind and beckons.

Seven Personal Questions
Questions have been used for thousands of years to elicit thought. These seven personal questions to change your life are from a weekly e-mail I receive from Mike Murdock, who publishes the Wisdom Keys.
What are you passionate about?
Whose world have you tenaciously determined to improve?
Whose disrespect will you decide to ignore?
Whose attention/approval matters the most to you, and what are you willing to do to keep it?
Who has chosen to reject your influence?
Who has made (willingly) the most impactful investment in your immediate success, and what has been your reaction?
What single goal is worth one hour a day for the rest of your life?

Presentations Made Easy
These are my notes from a webinar on creating presentations that are memorable. This was sponsored by the Training Magazine Network. I attended in May, 2017.
Avoid TEGO
It is essential to avoid the common situation where "Their Eyes Glazed Over," abbreviated as TEGO. This occurs too frequently. It is even more of a challenge when presenting virtually because you cannot see your audience.
Why do we fail to remember?
- Not aware
- Not focusing/concentrating
- Not memorable
- No filing/retrieval system
Principles of visual memory
- Visual
- Rare
- Linked to something
- Movement
- Emotional
4 steps to add memory techniques to learning
- Add one or more principles to make a more memorable presentation.
- Use link method to retrieve items.
- Add unusual elements.
- Turn information into a list, and then link with unusual characteristics or a story.

Personal PR
One of the blogs I listen to regularly is "On the Page" with Pilar Alessandra. It is designed for screenwriters, but much of the content focuses on story.
In May 2017, Carole Kirschner was the featured guest. She spoke about creating your own personal public relations branding or messaging.
Be ready at all times with the following.
Create a one-minute logline about who you are, what you do, and how you stand out (differentiate yourself) from others.
Write a three-minute chronological narrative with successes and colorful experiences from your life.
Make a list of several personal anecdotes which you can incorporate as appropriate into any situation.

Lincoln's Fundamental Principles
Lincoln Reconsidered was written by David Herbert Donald. It is a book of essays on Abraham Lincoln. Lincoln's perspective of politics was unique, and though he often appeared naive, he was an adroit political thinker. These are his fundamental principles.
Rejected tests of doctrinal purity.
Faced political reality as it was, not as it could become.
Refused to force reality into a formula. Recognized each problem as unique.
Willingness to change or adapt with events.
Did not make irredeemable promises against the future.
"I think it is enough if the man does no wrong hereafter."—Abraham Lincoln

The controversial Four Loko drinks that contain caffeine and alcohol and that may have played a role in sending some college students to hospitals could soon be banned in the United States, based on an announcement from the office of Sen. Charles Schumer, D-N.Y.
The Food and Drug Administration will rule that caffeine is an unsafe food additive to alcoholic beverages, and the move will effectively prohibit the sale of Four Loko, Joose and other similar drinks, according to Schumer's office. The Federal Trade Commission will join the campaign by notifying manufacturers of these drinks that they are engaged in potential illegal marketing, Schumer's office said.
Tuesday's announcement follows a growing nationwide campaign to crack down on the sale and use of caffeinated alcoholic beverages. Before New York's announced action over the weekend, four other states had banned the products.

How rapidly can a topic of discussion take over the consciousness of the Blogosphere!
Tony Vincent at Learning in Hand may have started it by gathering YouTube 'How-to-Cheat' videos. But it didn't take long for edu-bloggers with huge audiences to follow suit.
Steve Dembo at Teach 42 joined the discussion:
"On a typical test, in a typical classroom, does anybody reading this honestly think they can prevent a highly determined student from cheating?"
And when Will Richardson at Weblogg-ed joined the discussion, he did so with a 'twitteresque' title: "When Are We Going to Stop Giving Kids Tests That They Can Cheat On?" and without contributing content, left the commentary to his network. Tongue-in-cheek I'm wondering: "Is this way of engaging teacher-learners to write your blog 'cheating'?" Like Pooh Bear to Hunny, educators are chiming in... 30+ comments in only 6 hours!
For the record, this topic is near and dear to my heart as someone working to assist teachers in leveraging e-learning solutions. With online courses now being shared province-wide, the customization of tests and assignments is necessary in order to validly assess the learning of online students.
"What types of tests are relevant?
If a test is going to be similar to a real world experience, then the most relevant test should have the following characteristics:
1] The test should allow students access to any information system available (the Internet; Wikipedia; news sources; personal networks…).
2] The test should demand that students 'apply information' to a context or situation, rather than simply restate 'learned' facts.
3] The test should offer students a range of ways to respond (the written word; audio recording; product dev't; physical demonstration…).
A 'test' of this type is more likely a 'performance task'; and although this type of test wouldn't be easy to administer, it would provide the truest test of one's learning. Thank goodness we don't provide driver's licenses, pilot's licenses, or dental licenses on the basis of the written test!"

I am not a big fan of students regurgitating material back to me. What does it prove, that they listened or that committed it to memory? Testing with real world applications, pbl or problems that focus not on the answer but how you came to the answer seem to be more relevent, especially in an age when most answer can be found with a few key strokes.

When it was announced last year that former Olympic wrestler Daniel Cormier would be making the transition to professional mixed martial arts competition, fans and pundits alike were abuzz with the seeming limitless potential the heavyweight phenom could reach in an increasingly hostile pool of young talent. While his inexperience showed in his professional debut last September against Gary Frazier on ShoMMA 3: Kennedy vs. Cummings, Cormier's wrestling base proved sturdy enough to propel him to a second-round TKO victory on the Showtime-televised main card. Now just days away from his sophomore effort in the cage, Cormier is confident that recent changes in training, as well as a long layoff between his first and second efforts will pay off when he steps in against the more experienced John Devine when ShoMMA 7: Johnson vs. Mahe kicks off this Friday night from the Save Mart Center in Fresno, California.
Cormier recently spoke at length with Tapology's Steven Kelliher to discuss his pro debut, the guidance he received from a popular UFC welterweight that helped to inspire him in training, the progress he has made in his transformation from wrestler to mixed martial artist leading up to Friday's contest, and his thoughts on the current state of wrestling in MMA.
Tapology: You made your professional debut in September of last year for the Strikeforce promotion. Can you talk about that experience as a whole?
Cormier: I was excited about it, man. I thought it was a great opportunity for me. Gary Frazier, my opponent, was tough; I have actually had the opportunity to train with him and he is just an unbelievable athlete, works hard, and I think he's going to be a really good fighter.
In terms of how the fight went, I was able to stand with him a little bit and get into some exchanges. Obviously I wasn't as sharp as I would've liked to have been—I didn't have much time to train for the fight—but it was just such a great opportunity for me to fight in front of my hometown crowd in Oklahoma that I had to take it. I was happy with the result. Any time you can go into a fight with four or five weeks of training and get a victory on national television, especially a TKO victory, you've got to be pleased with yourself. I'll be the first to admit that I did a lot of things wrong, but I also did a lot of things right in that fight.
There are always going to be positives and negatives, but it's a career progression; it's not going to happen overnight because it's something new. The first time I wrestled I got beat, and the first time I fought I actually won so that's a great thing for me.
Tapology: Like you said, you did a lot of things well in the fight and you also made some mistakes. Was there anything specific you took away that you began to work to improve upon in training directly following the fight?
Cormier: I've got to become a better striker and a better mixed martial artist overall if I'm going to do this, but Mike Swick told me something right after the fight. He said, 'DC, I was nervous for you in this fight because you went out there with so little training, but you're a guy that I know now will come to fight every time,' and that's what really matters to me, the people I come to work with every day.
I want to make the fans happy and put on exciting fights, but it's the guys in the battle that motivate me and after Swick said that to me I did a lot of travel and did a lot of different training for my second fight. I went to Denver, Colorado and trained at Grudge Training Center with Rashad Evans, Nate Marquardt, Shane Carwin and all of those guys, I went to Southern California and trained with "Minotauro", "Mayhem" Miller, and now back in San Jose I train with Cain Velasquez, Kyle Kingsbury, Bobby Southworth, and this week Andrei Arlovski's in the gym, so I'm getting great training everywhere I go. I'm going to use what I learn in the gym to push me forward in my career.
Tapology: Were you invited to the Grudge Training Center?
Cormier: Yes. Rashad Evans is actually one of my better friends, and he wanted to get back to his wrestling for his fight against Thiago Silva, and I've been finding that a lot of guys are calling on me to help them with their wrestling. Even King Mo, as good of a wrestler as he is calls me in because he knows that I've been coaching for eight years and can help out in that area. Every Tuesday here at AKA I run the wrestling practices with good wrestlers like Koscheck, Fitch, and Cain Velasquez.
With all of these guys inviting me to train, it's just a win-win situation for me because I'm able to share my knowledge and I'm also able to learn from some of the better fighters in the world.
Tapology: Given all of that high level training, how are you feeling right now about how your MMA game is evolving?
Cormier: I feel great, man. I'm not the same fighter I was in September and I'm not the same fighter I was in January. I think I'm progressing at a rate that's going to be great for me. My coach told me that—because of my Olympic wrestling background—my learning curve would be much higher than the average person would. I'm picking things up fast and I'm trying to get better. I think I've gotten twice as good as I was in September, especially with my striking.
Tapology: It will be six months between fights for you when you step into the cage this weekend. Was that long layoff intentional so you could get some more work in during training?
Cormier: Yeah, it's a matter of getting better. I couldn't pass up that opportunity, but I want to focus on getting better, and then I'll fight back-to-back-to-back or however many times I can. It's hard for a guy like me because I'm a knucklehead, so I would have fought three times last year, which probably wouldn't have been good, but luckily for me I have a strong management team with Bob Cook and my coaches Javier Mendez and Dave Camarillo. They understand the game and they understand that it was really in my best interest to take some time to get better and learn, so that way they feel more comfortable with me fighting and I feel more comfortable when I get in the cage.
Tapology: This is a difficult question to answer and a lot depends on your next fight, but do you think we will start to see you compete more often from here on out?
Cormier: I think now we're at a point in my career where it's not going to be five or six months between fights—that's not really what I want to do.
Tapology: You're fighting John Devine at the next Strikeforce Challengers show. He has a pretty solid record, but what do you know about him?
Cormier: John's a tough, tough fighter. I know him personally. Back before my first fight he was actually in the gym training at AKA, so I had the opportunity to roll with him and spar with him. He's a big, strong, durable guy who's won five fights in a row, so I think it's a natural progression and it's time for me to fight better opponents. I think John is a great step up from Gary and after that fight I hope to move upward in my career toward bigger and better opponents.
Tapology: What improvements in training and what about your overall game is going to get you the victory on Friday night?
Cormier: I think it's just my overall game with my striking on top of my wrestling and Jiu-Jitsu, which have all gotten a lot better. My ability to finish fights in a variety of ways is the big difference in this fight. Obviously in six months I'm not the fighter I will be two years from now, but I'm starting to show signs of development toward becoming a complete mixed martial artist.
I don't think many people are getting what I'm getting in the gym every day with the people I train with, so that brings me comfort heading out into the cage. If I do the things I can do in training, the result will take care of itself and I will get my hand raised.
Tapology: I wanted to talk a little bit about your wrestling background in relation to MMA. Was it easy for you to make the transition to mixed martial arts-style wrestling from collegiate wrestling or has it been difficult?
Cormier: It was pretty difficult because the timing is very different. When we're wrestling in traditional wrestling, we're bent at the waist and everything comes off of a setup. In terms of fight wrestling, you're not bent over, guys are standing straight up so takedowns are a little easier once you get the timing down, and that's something I have gotten much better at.
When I fought Gary in September, I wasn't sure how to get to the legs for a takedown, but I'm at a point now where I'm transitioning from my punches to my kicks to my takedowns, so everything is coming together, but it's way different than traditional wrestling.
Tapology: I'm going to use Georges St-Pierre as an example since he is widely regarded as the best functional wrestler in MMA today. You are leagues above him in terms of your actual wrestling resume, but can you learn anything from watching him transition to and from wrestling during his fights?
Cormier: Yes you can, you can learn from everybody, which is why it's important to move around and train with different people. The thing you can learn from Georges is timing. He has gotten so good at timing guys' kicks, timing the shot, and that's what makes what he does so special. It's not that he's such a great wrestler, but whenever he gets in there and fights, which is what is important right now where he is in his career, he has really gotten his timing down pat. He's probably the best there is right now right along with King Mo and Cain Velasquez in terms of functional wrestling in mixed martial arts.
Tapology: What are your main goals for this year both in training and in competition?
Cormier: My main goals are just to get better, but in a perfect world I'd like to do four fights this year and end the year at 5-0. I'm going to train hard and pay attention to my necessary areas of development and once I do that I will get more exposure, more fights, more money, more everything.
Tapology: And how do you feel about fighting for Strikeforce for the foreseeable future?
Cormier: I love Strikeforce. Scott Coker has a vision, and the best part is he has gotten all of us fighters to buy into it. They are keeping fighters happy, they're doing things to make the organization bigger, so I have no complaints. For me it's about getting better and being appreciated for what I can do in this sport and at Strikeforce I feel like they do that as well as anybody else in the business.
Tapology: Thanks for the time and good luck on Friday night.
Cormier: Thank you.

The role of various types of road user tolls has been an important part of Norwegian transport development for a number of years. There are now around 30 such projects in operation around the country. This paper examines the urban toll ring projects and presents results from new research into the schemes in Norway's three largest cities: Oslo, Bergen and Trondheim.
All three projects have now matured and reached the stage where they have received 'life' extensions. The research indicates that key decisions are being debated as to whether the schemes will continue as toll rings, be stopped completely or transformed into more of a demand management style policy. Interviews with road and local authorities have shown that the feelings are mixed and that the decision will depend on various transport, social, organisational and political factors.
This paper reviews the cases of Bergen, Oslo and Trondheim and documents the latest developments in each scheme. The theory behind the application of the toll rings is explored through the case studies. Despite all the projects being implemented by similar networks, each scheme developed its own individual characteristics. These are laid alongside the economic and transport benefits with which they have been associated.
The Strategic Policy Niche Management framework is used to analyse various aspects of the toll projects and identify key lessons and the effect they might have on future UK projects is discussed.

Technical Paper
Steering Feedback Torque Definition and Generation in a Steer by Wire System
Steer by wire (SbW) system is examined, considering the positive effects of the lack of direct mechanical connection between steering wheel and rack. SbW system's steering wheel has to generate a resistant torque which adds to the friction one. Such torque must be felt as natural by the average driver and carry information about vehicle dynamic condition. System prototype is obtained from a classical steering system. Steering wheel is linked to a brushless 12V DC current electric motor designed to develop resistance torque, after steering column is removed, triple stadium planetary gear is necessary to increase the torque output. A hardware in the loop test bench is realized in order to test feedback torque generation and steering wheel efficiency influence on vehicle behaviour. Steering wheel is fixed to the bench and its rotation acquired by an optic encoder. Steering wheel angle is used as input for a ten degrees of freedom vehicle model through an acquisition data board.

updates on Gus Tuaniga, Aneli Cubi-Otineru
By Cindy Luis
Tuaniga will sit out Saturday's match as well. Think the issue has been resolved. I know that he was struggling in school last fall, which is why he didn't make the trip to Canada. Perhaps I misunderstood him when he said he hoped to be back for this match. Or maybe he didn't know it would be a two-match thing. Saw Aneli on the way to the arena. She is still on crutches but says the surgery from knee (left) surgery went well. Hopes to be available for the spring matches with Washington State March 14 and Nebraska March 19.

Although hailed as the miracle drug of the 20th century, penicillin is nothing but fungus. Similar modern antibiotics such as amoxycillin are also just fungal-based drugs. One of the reasons pharmaceutical antibiotics are unhealthy is because their usage can lead to fungal infections. A second reason is because these antibiotics can wipe out the good bacteria needed by the colon. Often doctors will prescribe probiotics to compensate for this problem. A third problem is that bacteria and viruses can build up immunity to pharmaceutical antibiotics, causing strains of super bugs to appear. There are already strains of super bugs that conventional doctors cannot kill.
Antibiotic Usage Can Lead to Fungal Infections
One of the reasons doctors are usually hesitant to prescribe modern pharmaceutical antibiotics is because their usage leads to other problems.
Few people are aware that not only is penicillin a fungus, but can also cause Penicilliosis, a fungal infection – see photo.
Penicillin also encourages yeast infections.
Since virtually all modern pharmaceutical antibiotics are fungal-based, they also carry with them the risk of fungal infections.
Antibiotic Usage Destroys Good Bacteria
Present in the colon are good bacteria which aid in the digestion of food. If they are destroyed, many health problems can result because the body will then be deprived of nutrients. Doctors often correctly prescribe probiotics to compensate for antibiotic usage. Obviously, probiotics and antibiotics cannot be taken simultaneously as they would cancel each other out. A two or four hour period is needed between probiotics and antibiotics.
Antibiotic Usage Creates Super Bugs
How is it that antibiotics can create super bugs, precisely? A clue is found in the description of an enzyme known as penicillinase:
enzyme produced by certain bacteria that inactivates penicillin and results in resistance to that antibiotic" – from Babylon
The description of penicillinase makes it clear that bacteria are able to "fight back" when attacked by antibiotics.
However, pathogens (bacteria and viruses) are unable to resist some older antibiotics that were shelved back in 1938, when the FDA was formed, and are described below.
Colloidal (Ionic) Silver an Excellent Antibiotic
Before the invention of the FDA, the antibiotic of choice was silver. Silver is indeed an excellent antibiotic for the following reasons:
Silver does not create fungal infections
In small quantities, silver does not destroy gut bacteria
Pathogens cannot develop a resistance to it
It seems amazing to me that an obviously superior antibiotic was replaced with the so-called "miracle drug" called penicillin. Obviously, science had nothing to do with the replacement of silver as an antibiotic. Silver was just too cheap and available, whereas people were forced to go to their local doctor to get prescriptions for penicillin. So just like almost everything else in life, getting rid of silver in medicine had to do with maximizing pharmaceutical industry profits. Also, back then there was a huge propaganda campaign against silver. Even today, there are fraudulent claims made against silver. Out of the Box Remedies offers Colloidal (Ionic) Silver Spray in a convenient spray bottle for disinfecting hands, eyes, cuts, and more.
Iodine Also an Excellent Antibiotic
In order to take iodine internally, a special preparation is made that contains elemental iodine, potassium iodide, and distilled water. The potassium iodide is needed to make the elemental iodine soluble in water. One such product is called Hormone Catalyst from Out of the Box Remedies.
Elemental iodine is known to have antiseptic qualities that enable it to eradicate viruses and bacteria.
Elemental iodine combines with other elements in the stomach, and does not proceed to the colon to destroy healthy bacteria in the colon.
Like silver solutions, Hormone Catalyst cannot create fungal infections and is impervious to bacterial defenses. In fact, Hormone Catalyst destroys fungus as well as bacterial and viruses. I've even successfully applied it to the insides of my nostrils with a cotton swab to get rid of polyps and nasty colds.

For an explanation of my support for affordable housing I will use three examples.
(1) On April 17, the City Council voted 8-3 to sell the development rights to the Fifth Avenue property to Chicago-based developer Core Spaces for $10 million. I voted against that sale, in part, because the developer was allowed to calculate the site size and required affordable housing required in a manner that reduced the number of affordable units. I believe we must require developers fo include either affordable housing units or pay into our housing fund when developing large projects. This is especially true when the developer is buying or using City-owned property.
(2) On Dec. 4, 2017, the City Council approved the $146 million development project, which includes more than 600 housing units -- apartments and condos in three buildings -- and ground-floor retail space at Broadway and Maiden Lane. I voted against this project because it included the rezoning of the site from planned unit development (PUD) to C-1A/R. The zoning change meant that the developer was not required to include the 96 units of affordable housing that a PUD development would be required to have. The Mayor and his allies allowed the more permissive zoning knowing that it would remove the requirement for affordable housing. We lost the opportunity to have 96 units of affordable housing at no cost to the City when the Council majority voted to change the zoning on this property.
(3) On Tuesday, May 1, Council held a special session to consider the fate of the Y Lot (350 S. Fifth Avenue). One of the resolutions on the agenda expressed the Council's intention should it obtain ownership of the property. The resolution claimed to express support for affordable housing. Because the resolution was soft on details and not demanding on results, I offered 4 amendments.
- My first proposed amendment would have changed the language of the resolution to provide that workforce housing will have rent with a maximum of 90% fair market rates rather than the original language of 150%. I proposed this amendment so that the "affordable" units would be affordable to those who do not receive section 8 housing subsidies. Workforce housing should be affordable to workers who have a modest income but do not qualify for subsidies. My amendment was not adopted, but Council did vote to reduce the cost of the affordable units to 110% of fair market rent.
- My second proposed amendment would have changed the resolution to provide that the developer will provide at least 50 units of single room occupancy housing at rent affordable to people with income of no more than 40% of AMI. I believe that this form of housing is important and because the demolition of the Y removed SRO units, we should support replacing them. While the federal government does not subsidize this kind of housing, I believe a project that is controlled by the City should be able to provide these units. This proposal did not receive majority support.
- My third proposed amendment would have increased the period in which the City tried to accomplish these affordable housing goals to allow 60 months rather than 48 months. Our experience with the Library Lot and the Y Lot demonstrate that 48 months is not enough time.
- My fourth proposed amendment added a new resolved clause to express the intention of using funds from the sale of the library lot for affordable housing and to retire any debt incurred from buying the Y lot. This intention had been discussed, previously, but was not expressly included in the resolution. This amendment was adopted.
I do care very much about the lack of housing for the truly poor in our community. My concern, however, does not end there. I also care about the ability of the working poor who do not qualify for housing subsidies to afford housing. Housing values have increased so dramatically, that housing is also becoming unaffordable for workers with relatively decent incomes. Additionally, residents who have worked an entire career and are living on a fixed income in their retirement find it difficult to afford the property taxes and fees associated with home ownership. Affordability strategies must address the many aspects that affect our resident.
It has been the practice of the City to focus on the most needy when prioritizing our housing efforts. That is a reasonable response because those are our residents with the greatest need. As we develop plans to better address affordability we must expand the scope of our efforts to include other affordability concerns. That should never reduce the emphasis on the most in need.
Speaking about affordability for residents

Tracking Your SEO Website Badges in Ten Seconds or LessBlog Post: September 26, 2011
It seems like there could be benefit to using a subdomain (or, ideally a landing redirect on the main site) in order to get the extra domain authority bump. It's unclear as to the juice drain from subdomains since google re-oraginzed webmaster tools but did not specify algorithm impact (as reported by searchengineland http://searchengineland.com/new-google-classifies-subdomains-as-internal-links-within-webmaster-tools-91401). Still, the subdomain loss is not a problem if you just point your syndication target at a redirect page on the main site. Then you get to keep all analytics inside of GA, FTW!

Mindelo, Part II – It's a carnival, carnival – oh no!
Loved that Carnival!
Carnival in Mindelo is something else. That by the way is coming from somebody who already has been a part of 3 main Carnivals of Brazil: Rio, Salvador & Recife/Olinda. Carnival in Mindelo was by far my favorite. But (there is always a "but") what I say doesn't apply to the day of Carnival itself – that you can skip – but the days leading up to Carnival are just fucking amazing! That would go double for those who consider themselves extraverts.

Hey beauties,
ready to be backed up with some more news regarding that wonderful upcoming season?
Well, I definitely am!
You know, it's true, watching all those fashion shows, reading numerous articles on the "Hot and Not" section and diving deeper into the topic of trends, can leave one quite confused. But while some fashionistas don't seem to be too sure of the newest trends, it nearly always ultimately comes down to 4 or 5 things you should look out for.
We've covered the colours of Spring/Summer season in this last article already. Next up are some general tendencies, material or pattern wise, that will for sure lift your heart and spirit.
I cannot guarantee that you won't be infected with the well-known disease to any fashion lover: shopping fever!
The 5 tendencies of Spring/ Summer
1. Oversized trousers and Midi Skirts
I am not too sure what to think of this trend. Oversized trousers are great, on the one hand – if you ever have been in the situation when you just ate too much and your stomaches bulges a little bit (a little much) under your tight dress, you know where I am heading with this. Additionally, they are easily combined with classy blouses or even crop tops.
Midi Skirts on the other hand. Meh. The problem with midiskirts for everyone who does not have model sizes is a) the length, obviously, because it always looks as if it's just that wee bit too much or too little material. And b) (oh, the b!) with a skirt hanging to spot where your calves are thickest, it is never, and I repeat: never!, a very flattering size.
2. Florals and Dots
Florals, sure, for spring that is not a very big innovation. But honestly, who can imagine a spring theme without florals?
Dots, however, also prominent already in fall and winter, definitely stay for the spring and summer months! It's the bit 50s feeling, that you get with it.
Hint: If you go for new florals, check out really big, vintage prints. Little flowers are cute, but cute is often not very stylish aaand a bit downsized, so lets go for something a bit more daring this time!

After 10 years it's good to be back to Croatia's capital city Zagreb 🇭🇷 This city combines a vibrant, modern energy with plenty of old-world charm and graciousness ✨ Dress @heartsandfound Coat @collectifclothing #iddaaroundtheworld #iddavanmunster #zagreb #croatia #travelgram #travellingtheworld #dametraveler #heartsandfound #collectifclothing
3. Rainbows
Another one of these slightly difficult to incorporate trends: all the colours of the rainbow! Well actually that's not right – it's not difficult to incorporate in general. It is, however, if you or want to stay lowkey, or have difficulties in combining it without looking like a parrot!
Tip: Get yourself one key piece, which already combines all the colours. This way you don't have to go mixing and matching and risking an embarrassing moment, but are on the safe side!

Ciao Firenze! 👋🏻 Dopo Verona, iniziamo la settimana alla grande con una novità fashion fresca fresca per noi fanciulle amanti della moda 😎 Oh yes!! Sto indossando una piccola anteprima della terza collezione di Heidi Klum per Lidl in uscita l'8 marzooo!! ❤ Questa volta il tema è il denim (Ma con anche t-shirt, scarpe, maglioncini…) e la novità è che saranno presenti anche outfit pensati per bambine e ragazzine dai 6 ai 14 anni! 🙂 Siete pronte??? 🎉 Oggi indosso uno dei miei maglioni preferiti della collezione (Vi ricorda qualcuna delle tendenze delle quali vi ho parlato? Eehehe!) ed un paio di skinny jeans! Ora, ditemi, che sono curiosa: avete acquistato qualcosa delle precedenti collezioni? Se sì, cosa? 🛍🛍 P.S. Trova l'intrusa 🙂 #esmarabyheidiklum #LETSDENIM #lidlfashionweek #lidlfashion #Advertising @lidlitalia . . . #lookoftheday #lookdodia #lookatme #lookalike #lookdujour #lookinggood #sweater #multicolor #multicolored #stripe #skinny #skinnyjeans #halftopknot #topknot #meandyou #mylove #myman #couplegoals #coupleset #couplepics #persempreinsieme #mydog #doglovers
4. Metallics
Finally a trend I absolutely adore. Metallics are a great way to, literally, shine. Different to the rainbow tendency, for example, you can easily style any piece that's metallic with your outfit. And going low isn't a problem either. Some shiny earrings or a simple bag will do the job already.
5. Sequins and Crystals
Similar to the above-mentioned trend, at least in terms of being shiny, sequins and crystals come into the mind. I can't help it: Sparkling and eye-catching is in. And it's good that way. After the long winter months, it's time to shine again!
View this post on Instagram
Yep, The world definitely needs more sparkle. ✨🌟✨ Bring it on and see the response..😄😄😄. One of my favorite go to brands @aliceandolivia never disappoints when it comes to color, sparkle, awesome graphic t's, and the best trends of each season. They do run small, so bump up your size. Also @juievos is one of the best upscale fashion accessory brands that goes so well with the bold looks or scaled down into classic fashion. So, do ya need a reboot? Just think sparkle for spring. You will not disappoint. To shop my look go to my link in profile or you can instantly shop my looks by following me on the LIKEtoKNOW.it app http://liketk.it/2uXUg #liketkit @liketoknow.it #aliceandolivia #julievos #sequins
So, I guess I've sent you off with some motivation to dig in your closet, free your spring and summer clothes from winter's dust and make up your mind about the one or the other It-Piece you definitely want to shop! See you next week when we cover my favorite fashion "problem": Shoes!

It wasn't supposed to be for the DoD. President Franklin D. Roosevelt never intended the Pentagon to be the home of the Department of Defense. In the 1930's he commissioned another building for the War and Navy departments, but they quickly outgrew that space. That's when FDR ordered a new building that could accommodate 40,000 employees and 10,000 cars. The old War Department building is now the State Department.
Completed in record time. The Pentagon is so massive, that you wouldn't think it could be completed very quickly. But that's not true. In fact General Leslie R. Groves (who also oversaw the Manhattan project), directed the building of the Pentagon and got the job done in just two years.

Reid Kirchenbauer is the Founder of InvestAsian. He is among the world's foremost experts on frontier market investment and buying property in Asia.
Hi, my name is Reid Kirchenbauer. I've been investing in real estate, stocks, and private equity in Asia for more than a decade.
I currently manage the world's first and only frontier market property fund. That's on top of a consulting service and InvestAsian.
Off the top of my head, I can quote you Cambodia apartment prices, help you open a brokerage account in Hong Kong from home, and give you Vietnam stock tips among many other things.
How did I accomplish all this before I was in my mid-20s? It's a long story.
I was a child actor with roles in movies and eight nationally-aired TV commercials while growing up in Los Angeles. The government keeps your money until you're an adult in this situation… unless you invest it.
This led to my career, strangely enough. My spare time as a child was spent reading books, doing research online, and trading stocks. I was more interested in how the Hang Seng Index closed than the normal fascinations of a teenager.
I did rather well during the 2008 Global Financial Crisis by shorting oil and manufacturing companies. Then I turned 18, moved to Asia and never looked back.
I graduated with a finance degree from one of the region's top universities, learned a few languages, closed several million dollars worth of real estate deals, and made thousands of international stock trades.
The comparatively small sum of money I made as an actor was multiplied by over five times.
How? Well, I learned how to buy assets in Asia at low prices. I found people who were determined to sell quickly. They often just needed more liquidity.
One time, a bomb exploded down the street from the seller's apartment… an alarming but temporary event. I bought the property which tripled in value a few years later.
Things are usually harder though. I spend a lot of time in frontier markets like Cambodia and Myanmar. You can make lots of money in these places but they're difficult. They often require being "on the ground" and finding your own opportunities.
Either way, the returns from investing in property and stocks with fair valuations, in countries which are growing quickly, are no less than stellar.
My graduating class picture. One of these things is not like the others.
Soon, I created a track record of success managing money for others. I founded the world's first frontier market real estate fund which now has over US$1 million under management and achieves returns well into the double-digit range.
Perhaps most notable is that I'm only 28 years old. But don't let that fool you.
I've been investing in Asia for awhile, speak Thai and Lao fluently, and have purchased property in seven different countries. Throughout my time in the region, I've become adept at navigating Southeast Asian bureaucracy and making deals. I'm one of very few people who can do all the things I can despite my age.
Yet overall, my goals are probably similar to yours. I have some money and want to invest it in the most effective way possible. A clear majority of economic growth during the 21st century will come from Asia. Therefore, I focus my effort on this part of the world.
Would you like me to help you invest in Asia? Take the first step by clicking below.

HOW UWB WORKS? TWR vs TDoA
Ultra-wideband (UWB) solutions are based on Time of Flight (ToF) method for measuring the distance between two radio transceivers by multiplying the ToF of the signal by the speed of light. From this basic principle, UWB technology can be implemented in different ways according to the targeted applications needs: 1- Two-way ranging (TWR) or double-sided two-way ranging (DSTWR) and phase difference of arrival (PDoA) or angle of arrival (AoA) or 2- Time difference of arrival (TDoA).
1) Two-way ranging (TWR / DSTWR)
The TWR method relies on two-way communication between two devices. As they communicate, the devices also measure the ToF of the UWB radio frequency (RF) signal between them. By multiplying the round trip time of the signal by the speed of light, and then dividing by 2, you can derive the actual distance between the two devices. If you apply the TWR scheme between two devices, you will get the distance between the two devices. Based on the TWR scheme, you can also implement 2D or even 3D location by measuring the distance between your mobile tags and fixed beacons.
and phase difference of arrival (PDoA / AoA)
The PDoA method consists in combining the TWR scheme that delivers the distance between two devices with the measure of the bearing between the two devices. The combination of distance and bearing allows the calculation of the relative position of two devices without any other infrastructure. To do so, one of the devices carries two antennas and is able to measure the PDoA of the RF signal.
- System synchronization is not required
- Easy deployment
- TWR enables downlink data and control
- Higher power consumption
- Limited number of mobile devices (in the hundreds)
2) Time difference of arrival (TDoA)
The TDoA method is very similar to GPS. Multiple reference points, called anchors, are deployed in a venue and are time synchronized. The mobile devices will blink, and when an anchor receives this blink it will timestamp it. The timestamps from multiple anchors are then sent back to a central location engine which will run multilateration algorithms based on TDoA of the beacons signals to compute the X, Y, Z of the mobile devices.
- Better battery life for the tag
- Very high density of devices (in the thousands)
- More complex deployment
- Anchors need to be time synchronized

2011 MVP Race – Dwyane Wade took a back seat. Serious?
What is the business in Miami? They're winning. What is the problem? LeBron James recently put in some serious work against Dwight Howard and the Orlando Magic with 51 points, 11 boards, 8 assists, and 17-25 from the field. There was nothing quiet about that. Bron dominated that ish. People were writing Wade off. Then Dwyane goes for a triple double against Charlotte (22 points, 10 assists, 12 boards). 28 points, 8 rebounds, 8 assists, 3 blocks, and a steal against the Clippers. MVP candidates do not take a back seat to anyone, but Wade did?
This is effin pathetic. Really? I explored this scenario in Russell Westbrook versus Kevin Durant. This isn't Jordan versus Pippen where we all knew MJ is king. This is not Westbrook versus Durant because most of you guys will say Durant. This Heat stuff is more intriguing to explore. The case in Miami is very difficult to determine. Miami Heat fans do not want to hear this $*i# because they want both guys to be number one, but that is impossible. Only one guy can be that. The League MVP Criteria has to determine where Wade stands in the MVP hunt.
A) The Numbers – 46 games played, MPG 36.7, FG 0.496, 3PT 0.302, FT 0.729, STL 1.4, BLK 1.0, REB 6.8, AST 4.3, PTS 25.3, PER 25.3
Like Ed Lover would say, "C'mon son!" Wade's numbers are actually better than a certain unicorn playing in Chicago sans assists, 3PT, and free throw percentage. If you're reading this, you see the numbers. I do not need to explain anything any further. This is interesting to note – win shares 7.5. Wade had a win share of 13.0 last year. He regressed.
B) Team record – 37-14. Currently 2nd in the East and 3rd in the league.
Most people expected them to do better than this. That's a great record, but does not change the fact that I am disappointed. I was standing with arms crossed anticipating an 82-0 season with all the hype especially with the notion that South Beach was more than willing to spread her legs for the South Beach trio. They have picked it up lately. That is still not enough because they are not demolishing opponents like trash allowing 93.8 points against them. Lesser talented teams such as Milwaukee, Chicago, and New Orleans have better defense. That is why I'm not convinced. Yet through all of this, Wade has legitimate MVP numbers. It's too bad that a lot of people wrote him off because of LeBron.
C) Impact – Dwyane Wade remains a top 5 player in this league. After LeBron's 51 point outing, Wade has been killing it in the next 2 games. He has been a mad man. I'm pretty he is using LeBron's great performances to fuel his own outbursts. Does he do more with less? Nope. He's playing with the best player in the NBA in LeBron and another all star in Bosh. That is huge in the MVP race. It does matter even if you disagree because the top 3 MVP candidates are doing more with less – no other superstars or All Stars on the team. You're going to have to eat that, Miami Heat fans.
Wade has 6% of getting MVP. If the race ended today, he loses. He reminds me of Lisa Cholodenko's The Kids are All Right. Wade and LeBron is a married couple with Bosh as the birth child from an anonymous sperm donor. Wait, did I go too far? Are you not entertained? Okay, the plot isn't like Wade except he keeps on making a point about the importance of his kids. I don't disagree, but banging Gabrielle Union every night can make any man think that "My kids are all right. No worries."

As we talked about all the things that you tell someone you barely know but find you really like, we reminisced about some of our experiences at the retreat such as the intense group discussions, meditation sessions and walking the labyrinth. Women had talked over and over about spirituality and religion and the soul – all concepts that make me very uncomfortable. I told Tania all the reasons why I am not a spiritual person, that in fact I even hate the word "spiritual." But then I had to admit that my carry-on bag was heavier than it should be because it was full of rocks and pebbles that I had collected on my walks around Ghost Ranch. That I had compulsively taken photographs of the same mountains over and over at different times of the day to record every moment of my journey.
Those rocks and photographs were destined to join the shells and pieces of coral, pine cones and sage bundles, the icons and Virgin Mary's, the tin milagros and Buddha's that I had strewn about my house. From every place I go – and I am an obsessive traveler – I take a little piece of something to remind me of how I felt in that place or the person who gave it to me. I had to confess that I loved creating altars of all sorts – but that I was not spiritual in any way.
I also admitted that I had never wanted to write a blog because I didn't think there were any of my thoughts that I needed to inflict upon the world, but Tania thought I should take photos of my altars and blog about them. Unsettled but intrigued, I couldn't forget that conversation. I had to admit that something had happened at that retreat among those mountains that I didn't understand but couldn't ignore. So, because all that week I had been guided by the "spirit" of Georgia O'Keefe and the inspiration of those creative women, I did what Tania said I should do.
