Heartwarming and open are two words to describe the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts, 715 W. Main Street in downtown Louisville. I had the privilege of speaking with several local artists of the "100 Art Inspired Hubcaps" exhibit. Among those was Louisville native
Karen Welch whose hub caps creatively named Mary and Jesus Chrysler on the KMAC exhibition. These hub caps are beautifully done and I found them inspiring.
Scott Scarboro
and his creation of God's Eye, featured, is an amazing work that is sure to draw the attention of art lovers everywhere and his hub cap, Robot is just as wonderful. While at the museum, I encountering a young artist quite talented for his age,
Harlin, and his simplicity in art yet the uniqueness of them, give his art a down home feel. My favorite was the Black Vintage Volkswagen hub cap.
Other Hubcap's on display are, Ann Drewy's Art Car Map and Fleur De'Leus Clock. Hub caps such as Horton Hears a Pontiac, State Fair Exhibitor
Robert Hartley's Nine Spokes, Scrabbled by Angie Mobley, $495 Lasik by JB Speed and there from Seattle Washington a hub cap done in Racu Pottery set off this stunning array of visionary delight. Other artists featured are
Wayne Fergerson
and Jackie Parsley. There is a wonderful falcon/hawk hub cap that created by Chris Doreflinger. Karen Welch told me the story behind that. It is worth going to the museum to see that and hear that story, for it is a story I would not venture to retell, it is too amazing.
Mrs. Welch told me the piece de'resistance was a hub cap that is been cracked. It is at that, cracked right down the side, straight to the middle. It was found on the Sherman Minton Bridge where someone either lost or tossed it about eight (8) years ago. The hub cap is a Victorian era monument, taken from a step ford wives station wagon. These hub caps will be coming down this week. This is your last chance to see them.
Another feature of the Kentucky Museum of Arts and Crafts this month is the Side by Side Statewide Exhibit. This exhibit is on the second
floor of the Museum and features art work of students with disabilities and professional artist working side by side. I had the honor of viewing these works, some of clay, light bulbs, bottle caps, cloth, chalk and oils, painting and many more. To stand in the midst of this talent you see only ability. The last showing date of the exhibit is September 12th.

Air cadet and major recognised for dedication and commitment
PUBLISHED: 12:00 05 November 2012
Cadet Flight Sergeant Jacob Rosen, of the 1064 Honiton Squadron Air Training Corps, and Major Roger Courtice, from Whitford, were celebrated at a special ceremony.
An air cadet from Honiton and a major from Whitford have been recognised for their dedication and commitment to Devon's cadet and reserve forces.
Cadet Flight Sergeant Jacob Rosen, of the 1064 Honiton Squadron Air Training Corps (ATC), was one of four young people to be appointed as a Lord Lieutenant's cadet for the next year during a ceremony at County Hall in Exeter.
As part of the role, he will accompany the Lord Lieutenant, Eric Dancer CBE JP, on his official engagements.
Jacob, who is from Ottery St Mary, has been a member of the 1064 Honiton Squadron for more than five years and has completed all his training classifications to a first rate standard.

In recognition of Jake's commitment to his unit he has been presented with the squadron's 'best cadet' award for two separate years.
In the future he hopes to train as a civilian aircraft maintenance engineer, but would like to join the Royal Air Force in the longer term and where possible continue to work as a youth development volunteer.
l Major Roger Courtice, who has served across reserve and regular units in a military career spanning over 44 years, received the coveted HM Lord Lieutenant's Commedation for Meritorious Service.
Roger has served all over the world with a number of different regiments and gained a vast amount of experience as a regular officer in the Armed Forces.

Welcome to aquatica restaurant
"Fooding is an art of cooking and eating. The word fooding is a contraction of the words "food" and "feeling". The goal of fooding is getting rid of the traditional rules of cooking to yield the possibility for the chef cooks to free themselves in modernity and even in tradition. It's the art of cooking and eating in certain states of mind: appetite for novelty, rejection of annoyance, desire for sincerity, fun and, overall, eating with the times."

Submitted by: Tom Heatherington
A friend of mine, who knows about my passion and fascination with log homes, recently asked me why I was so captivated with log home living. "Why a log home", he asked. "What's so special about a house that looks like Abe Lincoln built it?" His question reminded me of a slogan made famous by Harley-Davidson that said, "If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand". But let me try anyway…
"Why log homes"… is a question and a statement. The question is obvious, but the statement may need some explanation for urbanites that prefer to live in apartment buildings or cookie-cutter housing developments. Personal taste is the #1 driving force that compels one to choose a log home over other more 'conventional' styles.
I am not an architect and from what I can remember, my psychology classes never covered what causes a building's design to elicit different emotions from an observer. The point being that if you were to picture yourself living in an ancient castle made of stone – or a glass and metal seaside villa, the cerebral encounters are quite different. It is the experiencing of log home living that makes it so unique. Just as glass and metal create a contemporary or modern setting, logs and heavy timber produce a unique environment that soothes the soul. At least, that is the effect it has on me.
I touched upon this same subject matter in an article I wrote a couple of years ago entitled, "Log Homes and Log Furniture – The Norman Rockwell Effect", where I said that "logs exude a sensation of warmth, of strength, a sense that all is right with the world. Maybe it's the informality of the structure itself, or maybe it is the sense of heritage or sanctuary that produces these feelings, but the sensation is genuine; you can smell it and touch it.
Few of us grew up living in a log home so there are no personal attachments to childhood memories or family traditions in our decision to choose a log home. I believe that we opt for the unconventional because we want to escape the conventional. The stress of living in our modern high-tech, fast-paced 'Crackberry' world is unyielding. From the morning commute to the evening drive time newscast, we are bombarded with everything from irritating advertising messages to threats to our personal safety.
Escaping those tensions is part of what makes the log home experience so different. There's something inexplicable about separating yourself from that turmoil with thick log walls. It's not just the wood. It's the size, shape, texture, patina, smell and natural appearance of the wood that makes a log home so inviting. It is living with nature without the bugs.
Log homes are not for everybody any more than we should all be driving the same type of car. Some people would go stark raving mad if they were not living twenty-stories above their favorite restaurant, or didn't have a dozen neighbors living within spitting distance. However, for those of us who make that choice, a log home becomes part of our silent testimony about who we are.
A log home compares to a conventional home in the same way that an oil painting differs from a photograph. They are both beautiful and treasured, but the painting oozes something extra that no photo can duplicate. Living the log home lifestyle is different – and most owners will tell you that nothing else compares.

| 8.3°C Belfast
In the past few days the media has been conducting a frantic guessing game — has Yvonne Keating forgiven her adulterous husband or has she really called time on what many thought was the perfect marriage?
In the absence of any concrete information, the headlines have been switching between the two scenarios almost by the hour. So what evidence is there on the state of the relationship?
Two months ago, Ronan Keating performed at Dublin's striking new concert venue, the Grand Canal Theatre. Much of the material was upbeat and lapped up by the crowd — predominantly female 30-somethings — but there was a pervading sense of sadness too as he spoke about the premature deaths of his mother Marie and his Boyzone "brother" Stephen Gately.
Towards the end, visibly moved by the reception, he offered his heartfelt appreciation to his wife, Yvonne, dedicating to her one of his most celebrated songs, When You Say Nothing At All.
Yvonne Keating sat with friends a few seats to my right. She blew kisses to Ronan, beaming from ear to ear. I was struck by how happy she looked and how proud of her husband she was. Tall, beautiful and chic in an elegant black and white outfit, she looked like a woman without a care.
And on the face of it, life had dealt her a wonderful hand. She was mother to three children, had enjoyed a successful modelling career and was married to a devoted husband whose career had given the couple all the trappings of a luxurious jet-set lifestyle.
Yet, as the kisses blew between the two of them at the concert, Ronan had a secret that he was keeping from his wife of 12 years. He was having an affair with a 26-year-old dancer, Francine Cornell, who had been employed on the Boyzone reunion tour. Cornell — 10 years Yvonne's junior, but boasting similar blonde tresses — had been so taken with Keating's attentions that she left her long-term boyfriend for him.
Yvonne only discovered her husband's infidelity when she found a mystery mobile phone which he had been using to communicate secretly with Cornell. Keating, a keen golfer, was playing at the prestigious K Club in Kildare when he was summoned back home to Dublin to explain himself.
The following day, a terse message was posted on his official website, announcing that the couple were separating, and requested privacy "at this difficult time".
Since then, the Keatings' plush home at the gated Abington estate in Malahide, north Co Dublin, has been besieged with photographers. It was, as one reporter covering the beat noted, "our Tiger Woods story".
And it's an assignment that keeps on giving, with both Ronan and Yvonne supplying photo opportunities each day.
Several years ago, when Ronan was trying to crack the lucrative US market, I interviewed him at their new home.
At the time, towards the end of 2001, he was especially wary of the media. He had been perceived as the one who had broken up Boyzone and had been stung by criticism from his bandmates.
It was a strange interview from the start. For someone who claimed to hate the media game, it seemed odd that Keating would choose to be interviewed in his own home.
As befitting a house in an area dubbed 'Millionaire's Row', it was every bit as impressive inside as out. There was a serious amount of money on show. The kitchen wouldn't have been out of place in a Michelin-starred restaurant, it was so well appointed.
At the far end, an enormous flatscreen television hung on the wall, while across the lobby the eye was drawn to a gleaming grand piano.
He said he wanted to use his office for the interview. The 'office' turned out to be a two-storey building at the bottom of the back garden, which doubled as garage for his Harley Davidson motorbike.
Upstairs, the focal-point was a black-baized pool table and the soundtrack was his latest album, which was booming from the wall-mounted speakers of a high-end stereo system.
He was nothing like the goody-two-shoes figure of popular consensus.
Littering his speech with F-words, he came across as passionate, angry, occasionally truculent and very, very ambitious. Although his initial attempts to break America had failed miserably — his single Life Is A Rollercoaster had failed to breach the top 100 — he was convinced that he would eventually make it there. "I'm ready to pack my bags," he said.
While he spoke at length about his career plans, he brought up family life a lot too. He was clearly besotted with Yvonne — or "wivvie" as he called her — not least when he spoke about how his childhood sweetheart helped him cope when he lost his mother to breast cancer.
"I didn't marry Yvonne to be away from her," he said. "It's important for me to be at home to tuck the kids into bed every night." He was adamant that the temptations of life on the road were for others to succumb to, but not him.
"I've got it all," he told me, flashing the newly gleaming teeth that had been fixed up for his assault on America. "I really couldn't be happier."
As he drove me in his Range Rover to Malahide Dart station, he relaxed a little and I could see just how charming he could be. He came across as a well-brought up 24-year-old with old-fashioned family values. It was an image quite at odds with the egotist I had just interviewed.
I was surprised then to receive a phone call from Louis Walsh when the article appeared to say that Ronan was upset about how he had been portrayed. "He will never speak to you again," Louis said, jokingly. "Sometimes, Ronan doesn't have a very thick skin."
Despite his fighting talk, his attempts to crack America ended in failure.
And with each subsequent album suffering declining sales, his profile here and in the UK started to plummet. Desperate to escape the shackles of being in a manufactured boy band, his dreams of being taken seriously as a talented musician were floundering.
Few were surprised when he signed up to a reunion tour with Boyzone in 2008. A reformed Take That had shown there was a huge market to plunder and one sensed that he was glad of the opportunity to sort out any acrimony that had existed between the five.
Stephen Gately's death last October would send shockwaves through the Boyzone camp, with Keating, in particular, said to be devastated at the loss. Yet, during that arduous time in his life, he was having to wrestle with his conscience as he continued to see Cornell behind his wife's back.
Like Tiger Woods's serial infidelities, the Keatings's marital trouble has aroused enormous interest because he was seen as the quintessential family man with the fairytale marriage.
The fact that Ronan, Yvonne and their two eldest children starred in a high-profile Ninetendo DS television ad campaign only served to re-inforce this view.
There has been a strong sense of schadenfreude recently, with The Sun's mocked-up photo of Ronan as a rat typical of the pleasure some are deriving from the troubles of a seemingly perfect couple.
With fears of a tabloid kiss-and-tell with Cornell, the family has had to contend with all manner of rumours and conjecture. For instance, the chick-lit writer Marisa Mackle spoke about how he tried to seduce her during a drinking session just months before he married Yvonne.
An entertainment journalist who knows both Ronan and Yvonne well says he was shocked to learn of the affair: "As a pop star, women have thrown themselves at him for more than half his life, but his devotion to Yvonne was so strong that he would never take advantage.
"I would imagine he is devastated by what he's done and he's probably thinking about how his mother would have been so disappointed with him."

Last week I re-injured my knee that I had surgery on a few months ago and was put on crutches for a couple of weeks. As I laid on the couch and grew tired of watching Netflix, I started to think of my family and how much easier it was the last time I was on crutches when I stayed at my parents and they spoiled me rotten.
To be honest, being on a working holiday isn't all roses and sunshine all the time.
Its goodbyes, its getting blisters from being lost, its difficult language barriers…you name it. Sometimes it's just having too much alone time and overthinking everything. I realized that I'm WAY too social to be R.I.C.E'ing my knee all alone in my apartment.
I popped some anti-inflammatories, threw on a compression band and was off on my next adventure.
I'm not limping, I just have major swag
I took an hour long train ride into Mandurah where I met up with a lad who also enjoys photography. He toured me around the scenic little beach town and then we hit the road to Lake Clifton located in Yalgorup National Park to do some landscape photography.
Landscape photography is Phillips favourite and you should check him out on Facebook here:
and Instagram here:
Sometime during our conversation it was discovered that I've never had a proper meat pie or lamington during my time here in Australia. So off we went to the nearest bakery!
We left Lake Clifton and headed to Pinjarra, stopping to take pictures of cows, alpacas and asses on the way.
We snarfed down a couple meat pies (much better than the ones you buy frozen in Canada, like, times a million) and took our lamingtons to go hoping to get back to the Lake to catch the sunset. Helloooooo bomb ass landscape shots!
I hoover vacuumed that lamington, It's probably my new favourite treat. (Sorry, Tim Tams).
After all of that limping around, Phillip and I decided we needed a beer. We headed to Lake Clifton Tavern and watched a football game. The fries were delicious and the people were so friendly, I was even offered a job!
It was a great end to a great day. Getting out into the fresh country side air was so good for the soul and has gotten me out of my creative rut. It's so nice to be able to bounce ideas off of like minded people. Collaborating > competing.

Sending vs. Receiving: Field Length Gaps
How you define a gap will depend in part on the capabilities of the sending and receiving systems. For instance, if the maximum size of a field is 20 characters in the sending system but 50 in the receiving, you can safely ignore this gap. However, if the sending system sends 50-character fields to a receiving field with a maximum of 20 characters, you will need to be aware of the gap. You can address this issue by designating a sending application, as follows:
- In the Gap Analysis Workbench menu, select OPTIONS, Designate Sending Application…
- Select the system that is sending information
- Click OK

Can Tim Sloan fix Wells Fargo?
Show more sharing options
Share Show more sharing options
Within hours of taking the reins at Wells Fargo, new chief Tim Sloan pledged to finish the reforms begun by his predecessor, John Stumpf, who stepped aside Wednesday in an attempt to quiet the phony-accounts scandal that has rocked the company.
"It's about fixing what's problematic," Sloan said in a brief interview. Though he acknowledged that Stumpf's early retirement does not address all the concerns about Wells, he stopped short of a bold call for change. Sloan's vision was more of a steady-as-she-goes, with some tweaks.
"The changes we've made are all in motion right now," Sloan said. "It's all about executing on the plan we have in place."
But will that plan, and the hasty exit of Stumpf, be enough for the bank's many critics?
Wall Street analysts were divided on how much the changing of the guard would help, while the response from Capitol Hill was an emphatic "no."
Indeed, no sooner had Wells announced Stumpf's retirement than Democratic lawmakers issued emails calling for more accountability. Rep. Maxine Waters, D-Calif., said Stumpf and Sloan were both responsible for the roughly 2 million bogus accounts opened by thousands of employees.
"I remain concerned that incoming CEO Tim Sloan is also culpable in the recent scandal, serving in a central role in the chain of command that ought to have stopped this misconduct from happening," Waters, the ranking Democrat on the House Financial Services Committee, said in a news release.
Marty Mosby, the director of banking and equity strategies at Vining Sparks, said promoting Sloan will initially take some of the heat off Wells that has come from the investment community. Though Sloan is a 29-year veteran of Wells, his primary background is on the commercial banking side of the company and not retail, where the problems occurred, and that will give him some credibility, Mosby said.
Yet in the eyes of Washington, "he will be looked at as the same embodiment of the management team that was in place when all this happened," Mosby said. "They still have a lot of heavy lifting to do from a regulatory and political standpoint."
Sen. Sherrod Brown, D-Ohio, said in a press release that Stumpf's retirement does not answer the many questions that remain.
"There must be accountability to fix the culture within Wells Fargo that encouraged cheating and left senior executives either unwilling or unable to stop it for far too long," Brown said. "We are still waiting for answers as to how Wells Fargo plans to right its wrongs against customers and the low-paid employees who weren't given the benefit of a retirement package when they were fired for refusing to cheat."
Wells has struggled to contain the fallout from the scandal. But executives have stuck to the same script, saying that 5,300 former employees acted on their own in creating unauthorized accounts that customers never wanted. The company has reimbursed customers, eliminated sales goals and added email alerts for new account openings.
In an interview, Sloan praised Stumpf for making "a really important decision" for the benefit of the company.
"He put the company before himself and decided to retire," Sloan said. "One of the reasons why he did that is he felt there was too much focus on him and it was a negative for the company."
Sloan said that in hindsight, he would have moved quicker to address the problems of phony accounts. But he also deferred to his predecessor.
"I agree with John's description that we should have moved more quickly and made changes more quickly, but we didn't make enough of them and should have made them faster," Sloan said. "We should have remediated our customers sooner. It shouldn't have taken that long to do that."
That slow reaction is part of Wells Fargo's problem, according to one analyst.
"Their DNA is to protect the brand," said Paul Miller, a managing director and head of financial institutions research at FBR Capital Markets. "They think they can get around this by moving people around, but there is a systematic failure of compliance over sales inside the retail bank. It's gone on for years, and you can't change it by changing the CEO."
On Friday, Wells is scheduled to report third-quarter results, and Sloan likely will be asked why the bank tapped an insider to fix the problems with illegal sales practices.
"He is likely to get lingering questions about whether it's appropriate to elevate someone from inside," said Scott Siefers, a principal and analyst at Sandler O'Neill. "But at least Tim represents sort of a clean break at the top, so he'll get a fair shake to articulate his strategy and thoughts about how the company looks past this issue."
Wells paid a $190 million in a settlement with regulators on Sept. 8, which Mosby said had already been budgeted for in previous quarters.
Sloan did not propose any radical changes Wednesday.
"The vision of the company is to satisfy our customers' needs — that has not changed," Sloan said while answering questions about his plans. "We're going to continue to execute on that vision."
Discussion about whether Wells' executive shake-up is enough, and what the company needs to do next, will pick up in coming days.
Khalid Taha, a former Wells personal banker and a member of the Committee for Better Banks, said Stumpf's resignation shows the bank is finally holding someone accountable.
"For three years, bank workers like me warned Wells Fargo CEO John Stumpf about how the high-pressure sales goals at Wells Fargo were spiraling out of control — but he didn't listen," Taha said in a press release.
Paulina Gonzalez, the executive director of the California Reinvestment Coalition, called for Sloan to drop forced arbitration clauses requiring former employees and customers who were harmed by the phony accounts to go into mediation rather than file class actions. Wells has refused to do so, saying mediation is an appropriate remedy.
Gonzalez also renewed a call for the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency to downgrade Wells' Community Reinvestment Act rating and to release current exam results.
Others said Stumpf's retirement at least eliminated uncertainty. Wells announced Stumpf's departure after the markets closed, and its shares rose nearly 2%, to $46.10 a share, in after-hours trading.
All agree that the rapid developments involving Wells in the last five weeks have been breathtaking.
"The departure of one of the most respected CEOs in the industry would have been unthinkable a month ago," Siefers said.

I went in to Shooters Mart to by some .22 shorts for the kids to shoot through Grandma's Ruger Single Six. After finding the ammo I inquired about the lever guns they had on hand.
I'd been casually shopping for a good ole lever action rifle for years. I've weighed the benefits of 30-30 vs. .357 Magnum. I've looked at every permutation in those calibers. I've shot Marlins in 30-30 and a 45-70. Every time the lever gun put a smile on my face.
While talking with the proprietor I start asking some questions.
"Should I really get a bolt gun?"
"I want to learn iron sights first, I don't have much rifle experience."
"Maybe I should get another .22."
I think he sensed my avoidance of the AR-15 and said, "you've never looked at ARs have you?"
I hadn't. And I didn't really have a great reason other than the massive popularity of them. I didn't think they were evil or anything like that (all guns are dangerous). I just plain didn't like them. If I were to buy a semi-auto rifle I swore I'd get an AK47 because they looked better and they weren't as fetishized as the AR-15.
He hands me a Smith and Wesson M&P 15 Sport. I start fiddling with it. Work the charging handle. Extend the stock. Look through the sights. This thing feels good. It's still kind of ugly, like all ARs, but it's clean. The sides are smooth, the finish is nice.
We start to talk about the good and bad. What features each one has. I try a few different brands out and keep coming back to that M&P Sport. It's "missing" the forward assist button and the dust cover. I ask why that matters.
I understand the existence of those features, but they are not applicable to me or my use of a rifle. So I ask him, "why are these better."
The curt response I got was great. "Well, if you're around a bunch of AR guys and you show up without those features they'll probably think it's not a real AR. But, you don't need them with what you want to do and they add weight and complexity."
I'm 95% sold on this exact gun, but I know I need to do my due diligence and try an AK. They look evil (which is good) and they feel … sloppy. I'm sure it would function with 8 lbs. of sand in it, but it felt old and tired. If I were going for old and tired I'd start looking at the lever guns again.
I kept trying a few of the different ARs he had on hand but kept coming back to the Smith. It had the shortest pull of all of them and Dylan and Evan could both shoulder it with the stock fully collapsed. They looked at me with the "please buy it" eyes … and I did.

HAMILTON STREETCAR - "Hamilton Streetcar" (Dot DLP-25939) 1969
A trolley token. Or fifteen cents. A small price. A wondrous journey on a trans-cranial streetcar. Ahhh, the scenery laid before me. All the joy and pain and love and lust and beauty.... and pain.... the depths of the heights.... and the pain....and the love.
Flight on silver wings of trolley track....above it all....and all a part of me.... and you....And all.
The Hamilton Streetcar of your head.
"Pleasant Street" is an album track demonstrating that they had a very strong Doors influence. It could be argued that "Pleasant Street", written by Tim Buckley has become their very own "Love Street" The vocals are quite bombastic, it could almost be Jim Morrison.

This week has not only seen the release of SS16 from global designers ( more on that tomorrow) but it has also seen the newest collection of Australian kids fashion from one of our faves KaPow Kids.
As you know we adore Inkibabinki here on this blog, it is one of our fave Australian kids fashion and decor range for their minimal, design led approach.
They have done it again this festive season with their new limited edition Minimalist Christmas Tshirt. We loved it so much that we thought we would get into the Christmassy spirit in November and have a bit of fun!
We thought we would take our fabulous AW15 Gardner and the Gang collection out for some fun in the wild! There was some wild rumpus antics…and a lot of fun to be had!
We adore this label for their ethically produced, organic kids clothing. The prints are just brilliant and we cannot wait for next season's collection.
Well after a glorious Summer like week of weather last week, this week we have had gale force winds, rain and a big drop in temperatures. It feels like Winter again and I am wanting to keep all warm and cosy. I am blaming myself of course as the day I put away all our winter heaters, winter came back with a vengeance! But I digress as always, as all we want to hear about are these super gorgeous timeless knits by the fabulous Misha and Puff. They are oh so perfect for this colder change in temps.
Designed by Anna Wallack in the US, each knit is ethically hand made in Peru. Here the women are given opportunities to support their families through working from home or at a knitting centre that provides meals and childcare.
I have to say when I opened up the package from Mister.I, I gasped, quite literally, at how beautiful the 2 pieces of clothing were that I was looking at. The prints were utterly divine and the fabric super soft. They took my breath away. I had not seen kids clothing so stunning before.
As such I was in a bit of a fix, as I knew that my photos couldn't do this beautiful clothing line the justice it deserved. I am still learning with my photography but these clothes needed a master! So I enlisted a photographer friend of mine to take over and weave her magic. I have to say my darling Sina from Petite Etoile certainly did that!
I am super excited and truly honored to show you some sneak peaks of the SS15 collection from one of my favourite kids clothing brands, Bandit Kids.
Hitting the kids fashion scene with well deserved fanfare earlier this year, they have gone from strength to strength. With 2 collections so far, showcasing some amazing artist collaborations with Emma Battaglia aka Pax and Hart and in house typographer/friend Ruben de Haas for AW15 and SS15, they are utterly rocking the world of kids fashion.
This season I think is arguably their best yet, and that is saying something as their last two collections have been beyond amazing.
Designed in Australia and made ethically in Indonesia, I can attest to the fantastic quality of each piece. They wash and wear oh so well. My eldest son adores his Bandit Kids clothing ( they make from ages 3+) and he chooses to wear them above all others.
So what is their SS15 "Kingdom of Cool" collection all about?
Do you remember those lazy summer days as a child where you didn't really get up to much? Maybe you had a swim in your friends pool, rode your bike to the shops to get an ice cream, you climbed trees or you and your mate did the big hike to the beach in the sweltering heat?
Days were long, blisteringly hot and summer holidays stretched for hours, days and weeks. You longed for them never to end… Mix that summer vibe with cool pastel and retro neutral prints of palm trees, ice creams, parrots, flamingos and swimming pools and this is exactly where you find the "Kingdom of Cool" reigning supreme!

Here is another solid colorway release in the Umbro Geometra Pro range that continues to increase the appeal of the control boot. Coming in a Black/White/Sharp Green/True Red, this will be seen as one of the more traditional variations that you will see, although that Sharp Green really pops on the primary black upper.
Those of you that have read my review of the Geometra Pro will know that I rate them highly, although they still seem to be a sleeper of sorts. It can be tough for a new silo to make a name for itself, especially when it is not in the public eye. We don't get to see much of them here in the US, with limited players wearing them. But, I can assure you that people wearing them will compliment what they have to offer in terms of performance.
What really differentiates these boots from the rest of the market is the strategically positioned ECZ, or Energy Control Zone. This is the padded region that sits along the instep (as pictured below) and it makes for a fantastic addition, particularly when you go to take long passes out of the air. In fact, it is the best piece of technology I have seen added along that region of any boot on the market! The concept of padding the region makes complete sense, and Umbro employ a Teijin medial pad with memory foam to do so.
Another aspect of the boot that helps in terms of control is the silicon-bonded grip zone that sits just above your big toe. It sort of feels like a suede and it adds some extra grip and better touch, helping to improve control. It is especially effective when you are playing in wet conditions, as the region almost feels a little rougher.
We recently highlighted the White/Red/Kingfisher version, which is an ideal option for players looking for a control boot with a white upper. The Geometra Pro retails for $169.99.

CUP Undergraduate Research
The Use of Molecular Dynamics to Predict the Stability of Squaraine Rotaxanes
Date of Award
Document Type
Restricted Access Thesis
College of Theology, Arts, & Sciences
Math & Science
Degree Name
Chemistry, BA
First Advisor
Andrew T. Johnson
Squaraine rotaxanes are fluorescent molecules comprised of two parts—a dumbbell-shaped squaraine dye threaded through a ring-shaped macrocycle—that are held together non-covalently by hydrogen bonding, hydrophobic effects, and the size of the opening in the macrocycle (Arunkumar, et al., 2005, p. 3288). Since the squaraine is an extremely electrophilic species, nucleophilic attack by solvent is possible when it slips out of the macrocycle (Ros-Lis, et al., 2004, p. 4064, White, et al., 2010, p. 1297, Fu, et al., 2008, p. 118, 120). This results in a loss of fluorescence. These near-IR dyes have many applications, including effective labeling of bacterial and cancer cells (White, et al., 2010, p. 1297, Smith, et al., 2010, p. 67). Previous studies have shown that the unprotected squaraine dye is unstable, and a series of macrocycles were synthesized to test their protective qualities. The adamantyl rotaxane proved to be unstable and started to degrade within a couple hours. However, the isophthalamidyl and pyridinyl rotaxanes remained stable, seemingly indefinitely (Collins, et al., 2014, p. 3). In this study, we use molecular dynamics (MD) to compare the relative stabilities of squaraine rotaxanes in solution, and elucidate the structural basis for the instability of the adamantyl rotaxane system in solution. In addition, scans of the potential energy surface at the B3LYP/6-311+G** level of theory shed light on the dynamics of the amide-squaraine hydrogen bond which stabilizes these complexes. See Figure 1, below, for a diagram of each rotaxane studied.

"The Lives of the Noble Grecians and Romans: Numa Pompilius" by Plutarch
1 – Not much about Numa's family is well known. However, starting at Numa and going forward, the genealogy is fairly well known. It appears that the records on him were destroyed by attacks from Gaul and much of what cropped up afterwards seems to be forged. Numa probably couldn't have been a friend of Pythagoras because their timelines don't seem to link up. Numa was of Sabine descent, which were likely colonists from Lacedaemon.
2 – Rome had been built and Romulus had been ruling it for 37 – on July 5th (Capratine Nones) – Romulus was making a sacrifice at the Goat's Marsh outside the city in front of the senate and public. Suddenly it began to rain and the wind was high. Romulus disappeared and was never seen again. The patricians were suspected of killing him because they were tired of living under a king. He had long treated them like shit before this. A man saw him ascending to heaven in armor and heard him order to be called "Quirinus". His replacement was needed but the patricians couldn't agree who would follow and from which tribe. The Sabines wanted one of their own to be king since they so readily submitted to Romulus. The 151 senators ordered each faction to wear the royal insignia and make a sacrifice, each for a half a day. This was called the interregnum.
3 – While the senators could rule constitutionally and peacefully this way, there was a suspicion that the rule was now an oligarchy. Both factions agreed that there should be a king. The Sabines proposed that the Romans nominate a Sabine and the Sabines would vote on him. The Romans chose Numa because he was an outsider but still exhibited virtues that everyone appreciated. Numa belonged to the Sabine city, Cures. He was born on April 21, the same day that Rome was founded. He was disciplined, had endured hardships and was wise. He was not one prone to violence and focused on wisdom and reason. He shunned luxury and extravagance. He was a very good judge and advisor, as well as one to appreciate leisure and avoid money-making and in service to the gods. Tatius, the royal colleague of Romulus, gave him his only daughter in marriage.
4 – He was determined to stay in the countryside and contemplate nature and the gods. People said that the goddess Egeria loved him and gave much to him, more peace and wisdom than a normal human. This story was in the same vein of the Phrygians, Buthynians and Arcadians. There was some confusion as to whether he was a god posing as a human or a human blessed by the gods. Debate about whether a human and a god could be one and the same or if something else was going on.
5 – Numa was already 40, when he was called to be king. People thought he would readily accept such a great honor but he was resistant. He was afraid of changes and feared that becoming king would attract a lot of jealousy and hatred. He felt his love of solitude and country life and hatred for war would make him a bad king. Numa said that the king has to have the strength of a warrior and the people wanted to expand the territory through war and this was not for him.
6 – The Romans and the Sabines begged him because they were afraid that they would fall into a civil war if he definitely refused. His father asked him to accept the gift of the gods. The office was made for a man who so obviously was blessed by and in tune to the gods – to refuse would be a disservice to the gods. Who else would lead them down the right path?
7 – Numa finally agreed and went to Rome. The people met him on his way and were delighted that he was going to be ruler. Apparently it was a big to do because the interrex, the augurs and any old person who had the time was involved with this coronation. A lot of praying to the gods and nature was involved hoping for a good reign. This was pleasing to all involved because this man was representing an opportunity for peace between warring factions. He got rid of the big entourage that Romulus kept around him. He then added a priest devoted to Romulus (Flamen Quirinalis).
8 – Numa's first task as a ruler was to make Rome a calmer place. The place was full of hotheads and always had been. The whole city was founded as a result fight between Romulus and Remus. A lot of religious and spiritual ceremony was involved in not only beseeching the gods to help but it also helped the people mingle and feel a sense of unity. Vague threats of the gods stepping in if the people continued to fight helped end all the strife. This is in keeping of his adherence to the Pythagorean philosophy of putting a lot of religious ceremony in civil politics. One muse got pretty high praise – Tacita, muse of silence, in keeping with the Pythagorean style. Idols and images of gods being people or animals were forbidden – you could only access the gods through your mind. Sacrifices were not enormous but enough to be something.
9 – He created a position of a high priest called the Pontifex (Pontifices in plural). The name's origin is in dispute – either meaning "potens" as "powerful" or "possible", or "pons" as in "bridge" leading to "bridge builder". Bridges might have been considered holy or at least revered at the time.
The head Pontifex, Pontifex Maximus, divined and explained divine will and directed sacrifices so that they wouldn't be changed and therefore piss off the gods. He created an order of Vestal virgins who watched over a perpetual fire so that it would not go out or be made of impure materials. Only chaste and pure people were seen as fit for such a job. A widow would watch over the virgins so that they did not stray from their chastity. They used a series of metallic mirrors to harness the sunlight to light the fire that "came from the gods".
10 – The vestal virgins were to be devoted to their position for 30 years. The first 10 years were devoted to learning the duties. The second 10 years for performing their duties. And the last 10 years were for teaching duties to the new girls. After 30 years, they were free to marry and do as they liked. Few of them actually did and those who did weren't happy in their lives. They had a large number of privileges. They had many of the privileges that a woman whose father was dead did not have. They were followed by fasces (a symbol of power) in public. If a condemned criminal were to run into them on his way to execution, he would be pardoned – as long as the virgin vowed that the meeting was accidental. Anyone who passed under their litter was put to death. They were also put to death by burning near the Colline Gate for breaking their vow of chastity.
11 – He also had the Temple of Vesta built where the fire was kept. It was the Pythagorean symbol of fire as one of the four elements. The first represents the universe and the earth around the circle of fire revolves around the eternal flame.
12 – The Pontifices organize and direct burial rites which are seen as an honor to the gods below. Mourning periods were regulated by Numa. A child aged less than 3 year, no mourning. A child over that was to be mourned as many months as it was old in years up to 10. 10 years was the maximum. Widows remained in widowhood for 10 months. If they wanted to marry after this, they had to sacrifice a pregnant cow.
Two other priesthoods came about under Numa. Fetiales were priests devoted to Jupiter, in charge of keeping the peace through oral conference. Romans had a different attitude toward peace from the Greeks. Greeks called it peace once the argument had been settled through conference, not violence. For Romans, however, if one person felt like he had not been treated justly, they appealed to the "offending" party peacefully. If the bad treatment continued, the offended party would call out to the gods to make things right, even asking that the asshole's family and country be "taken care of" until things resulted in war. If the gods said no, then nobody could continue the spat because the gods had given their answer on the matter. If war was just, then the war could be carried out. If not, it was extremely bad news for the one starting the war. Priest made sure nobody was doing anything wrong because it could affect the whole city. Many bad things befell those who had either started a war unjustly or had broken a truce, so people naturally attributed this fate to the gods.
13 – The priesthood of Salii was established to follow reason. In Numa's 8th year, a disease was running rampant in the city. Suddenly a bronze shield fell from the sky. In order to save the city, he had to make 11 others just like it, so it would be hard for a thief to steal the real one. The spot where it fell was supposed to have been in a meadow that would be gathered by the Vestal virgins who would take it and sprinkle the temple with it. It was said to have stopped the pestilence immediately. All the weapons makers refused to do it, except Veturius Mamurius (some name, huh?). The copies were so good that Numa couldn't tell which one was the real one. The name Salii comes from the word "leaping" which was a part of their dance where they danced through the streets wearing armor and their shields. The shields were called "ancilia"(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancile) based on their shape of an elbow (not really, but that's P's explanation). This dance was a war-dance.
14 – He then built a royal house called the "Regia". There he spent time doing priestly things or meditating. When a public or holy holiday, heralds would be sent out to announce the procession and everyone had to stop working. According to the Pythagoreans, worship and prayer were not to be done half-assed and so work had to stop completely for it. His rules' meanings were often kept cryptic, so their meaning today seems unclear. All prayers and rituals had to be separated by periods of rest and calm.
15 – These religious orders allowed Numa to control what the people did in the city. The stories and religious foundations were accepted readily. He made people believe that a goddess was entering the room when he invited them to dinner. Before the Aventine Hill was inhabited, it was covered in springs and dells. Two demigods would roam around in this area high as a kite on god knows what they were using to trip on. Numa apparently caught these two guys (not hard to do if they are severely drugged up) by mixing wine and honey into their drinking water. Once caught, they started shape-shifting into something dreadful. Once they realized that they weren't going to be able to escape, they told Numa a bit about the future as well as some charms to perform. Some say that it wasn't the two guys who taught him the charms but that they called Jupiter down from heaven. They asked him to tell Numa how to charm by playing word games with Jupiter. Either way, many people believe these stories at the time and caused the public to obey him and his enemies to fear him.
16 – There were also temples built to Faith and Terminus. Faith is what Romans swore an oath to. Terminus is the god of boundaries, who was a guardian of peace and just dealing. There used to be only bloodless sacrifices in the early days but not anymore. Numa felt boundaries importance because if they are ignored, bad things will happen. He wanted to alleviate poverty because poverty leads men to do bad things instead of being productive citizens. He wanted the people to become farmers because he felt that farming leads to a peaceful life, instead of a warrior's life which leads to a constant warlike lifestyle, bellicose, rapacious and unjust. The city was divided up into "pagi" or areas that were local divisions which had their own police and overseers. He took a personal interest in seeing that these were well run.
17 – He divided people into groups according to their trades. Before he was king, the city was divided into two tribes, now they were re-distributed and placed into groups according to their work. This allowed them to forget their old tribal feuds and could now focus on their crafts. Social gatherings were usually work-play related within the groups. Any mention of groups of Sabines and Romans were all forbidden. His laws also freed a man from his father's control once he had been married.
18 – Numa changed the Roman calendar from a being fairly erratic in their size and following the orbit of the earth and the phases of the moon. He made a year 360 days long, even though it had been 364 days. He instituted the idea of a leap year to tack on the extra days periodically to balance out the annual calendar. March was moved from the 1st month to the third. January was now first instead of eleventh. February moved from second from twelfth. Some say that there originally weren't January and February, only 10 months and that he added January and February. In the end, it is sure that Numa made the calendar more regular and predictable.
19 – The idea that there were only 10 months is backed up by the word "December" – "10th month. It was thought that they were named "1st month", "2nd month", etc. They moved January and February to the front, upsetting the order of the months – making 10th into 12th. March was named after Mars. April was named after Aphrodite. May was named after Maia. June after Juno. It wasn't until later that Quintilis (5th month being moved to the 7th month but still keeping the name) was named after Julius Caesar as July, as well as "Sextilis" being changed to August after Augustus Caesar. February had something to do with purification due to the Lupercalia, a festival of purification, as well as a festival to make offerings to the dead. January was named after Janus, the two-faced god of doors who symbolized the opening and closing of the year.
20 – There is a temple to Janus in Rome with double doors, known as the gates of war. The doors are open when there is a war and they are closed where there is peace. They were almost always open because the state was almost always at war due to all the fights with the neighboring barbarians. In Numa's time, it was never seen to be open because they were always at peace. The Roman citizens, as well as the neighboring cities' people, were mellowed out by Numa's approach, quickly forgetting that they were almost always at war with someone or other. The city grew and prospered due to the lack of fighting and people began to have a sense of unity. There was no record of fighting, or political unrest during his reign. Nobody made any attempt on his throne. He was genuinely popular in his time both at home and abroad.
21 – Accounts of his marriages and children are variable. Some say that he only had one wife, Tatia and one daughter, Pompilia. Some say he had four sons, Pompon, Pinus, Calpus and Mamercus. These names became famous families in Roman society. The stories vary so much that it's almost impossible to tell what is true and what is false.
22 – His funeral was a big affair. Rome and its allies assembled in the city to mourn his death. All the people who attended the funeral wept as if they had lost someone very close to him. According to his wishes, they did not burn his body but put him in 2 stone coffins and buried them under the Janiculum Hill. One coffin held his body and the other coffin held his writings from his own hand. The priests of the city had written and re-written these laws many times so that the laws would not be lost. According to Pythagorean tradition the laws were not openly available because they were meant to be integrated into a person's character, not just nominally followed. It's said that there were 12 pontifical books and 12 Greek Philosophy books placed in the coffin. Later, when there were floods and the tomb was opened, the body's coffin was said to be empty but the writings' coffin was still full. The writings were taken to be burned because their publication abroad was forbidden. The bad reputation that the kings who followed him got only served to make him look great. The next 6 kings were either murdered or sent into exile.

By Vernon A. Williams, Gary Crusader
Can you sense a change in the atmosphere?
Does your intuition suggest the status quo is in for serious rearranging? Do you just feel the rumbling under your feet of unstoppable progress? Can you pick up the wonderful aroma of revolution?
The year 2015 was a game changer. Anyone in this nation who labored under the ridiculous assumption that we were in post-racial America, got a rude awakening. And the blunt, covert ways in which that brutal reality was driven home left a lasting impression on people of all races, and all ages. Like post-9/11, we will never be the same after last year's annals.
And just as well. What's being left behind are the things that divide us, that impair progress, that contribute to bigotry, that embrace the affluent and stomp the impoverished, that run a deaf ear to the cries of the sick, the frustrations of the disenfranchised, the pleadings of those desperate to gain some modicum of consideration.
It was an end to an era of ignoring the arrogance of "those that have get." It set off the alarm for people who believe in inclusion. And most importantly, last year made everyone aware that Frederick Douglass was right – change requires "agitation, agitation, agitation." So America was reminded that if you can't get satisfaction in the courtroom or in Congress, you have to take your cause to the streets.
In the words of President John F. Kennedy, "Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable."
In the words of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., "A riot is the language of the unheard."
The marvelous new militancy is reflected in the controversial Beyoncé video, "Formation." You know things are different because years ago, an artist accused of scurrilous charges hurled her way would have spent the ensuing days rationalizing or apologizing. Beyoncé has instead taken the posture that it is, what it is.
Then the Grammy Awards saw an even more stark performance renouncing bigotry by rapper Kendrick Lamar. These aren't isolated incidents. They are the genesis of a new militancy among young entertainers.
Oscar and Grammy-winner, rapper, author and actor Common brought that same spirit of consciousness to Indianapolis this week.
He launched into his Glory rap before a crowd of 1,500 delirious middle and high school students this week in Indianapolis. A wonderful student choir with two incredible lead vocalists offered the backdrop for his sterling presentation of the Academy Award winning selection.
The significance of his presence could have ended there. It didn't. Unlike some celebrities who bring the same speech from city to city fronting love for the children in each location – only to pick up a check and move on to the next life – Common rang with realism and sincerity as his heartfelt expression connected.
The good part about celebrity is that it captures the attention of wandering, impressionable minds that are frequently difficult to harness. The bad part about celebrity is that after so much paparazzi and magazine covers and standing ovations and adoring fans, many of those who achieve it forget their roots.
Not only has he not forgotten, Common won't let you forget his humble beginnings — raised in a single-parent home on the South Side of Chicago. Common kept it real, whether speaking to the youth-dominated church gathering in the morning or the sold-out dinner crowd at the Downtown J.W. Marriott.
Imagine the possibility of our most visible and relevant artists using their spotlight to trumpet our cause. And no one is apologizing or sweating the repercussions. It could be that they are ready to take a stand for those who cant!
Can you sense a change in the air?
I do. And I think it's going to last a while this time.

Details of Iowa Vs Pittsburgh Power and the Ticket Luck value
Two of the Arena Football League's finest programs will go head to head in the no holds barred Iowa vs Pittsburgh Power game. These are franchises that have won many arena football games over the course of the years, making a name for themselves in and out of the league. One franchise hails from Des Moines, Iowa, whereas the other franchise hails from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Altogether, these are teams to see play live with Iowa vs Pittsburgh Power tickets in hand.
The Iowa Barnstormers were founded in 1994 and play today at Des Moines's Wells Fargo Arena. They joined the Arena Football League in 1995 and were members of the Central Division of the American Conference until 2000. In 2001, they joined the af2 league but left after a year and played independently for several years. In 2008, they again joined the af2 league but left in 2009 to become members of the Arena Football League once again. From 2010 to 2013, they were part of the National Conference of the league and joined the American Conference's East Division in 2014. This is a franchise owned by Matt Strawn and Jeff Lamberti with John Pettit as the general manager and Mike Hohensee as the head coach.
The Barnstormers, one half of the Iowa vs Pittsburgh Power game, have won five Division championships and appeared six times in the playoffs. The current team is the old team's reincarnation, founded in 2008. Many of its members have been inducted into the Arena Football Hall of Fame including owner Jim Foster, players Kurt Warner and Jon Roehlk, and most recently, head coach Mike Hohensee in 2012. Many more of their players have been part of the All-Arena teams, with Kurt Warner and Jesse Schmidt playing twice and Carlos James playing thrice. At the Iowa vs Pittsburgh Power game, which promises to be one of the most exciting yet, they will face the Power from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
The Pittsburgh Power, a fabulous AFL franchise, plays in the city's Consol Energy Center. It has been a member of the Arena Football League since 2011 and is also part of the East Division of the American Conference. Its official colors are gold and black and its owners are Lynn Swann and Matt Shaner, who is also the team's general manager. Ron James is the franchise's head coach. They share a stadium with the NHL's Pittsburgh Penguins and has the same color scheme as them. They are also one of the most talented teams in the Arena Football League with player P. J. Berry named the All-Arena team and the All-Ironman team in 2012.
In short, these are two of the most exciting East Division franchises to see playing live, after ordering Iowa vs Pittsburgh Power tickets.

For this blog post I just wanted to share a quick Yelp review after Katie and Michael saw their San Francisco Portraits! As most of my business is word of mouth and yelp traffic, as a small business owner I appreciate all the help I can get! Feel free to check out my yelp page and Katie's review here!
"I'm so amazing by the couple photos that I got back from Josiah! They are absolutely amazing!! I loved that he used a variety of shots and he definitely captured our goofy personalities by keeping the photo session light and fun! I was also happy that Josiah had a few different locations in mind for the photo session that gave us variety! The photos were exactly what I had pictured them to be and I'm beyond happy!! I will definitely be looking to Josiah to photograph anything else we need in the future!"

The Department of Defense has not institutionalized public diplomacy-like activities throughout its components, belying both hopes that it would internalize these broader concerns into its everyday activities, and fears that the Department's great scale would overwhelm all other US public diplomacy. But the evolving, post Goldwater-Nichols role of the combatant commands and SOCOM did encourage those particular organizations to develop and consolidate a program that looks very much like public diplomacy.
These conclusions have been obscured until now because of the difficulty in cataloging and costing activities within the Department of Defense that are like public diplomacy. This report is the result of a concerted effort to do so. We conclude that:
- Most of the defense activities often implicated in public diplomacy should not be. These include most of the activities the Defense Department defines as information operations, public affairs, building partnership capacity, and even most tactical military information support operations.
- Additionally, the Department of Defense has not broadly institutionalized public diplomacy-like activities despite a push to do so in the early 2000s. Institutionalization is the moving of people or resources, which has not happened.
- However, Special Operations Command and the geographic combatant commands maintain one enduring and fairly defined program that is very similar to public diplomacy activities. It includes the "Trans Regional Web and Magazine Initiatives" (TRWI and TRMI) and named "VOICE" operations.
- TRWI, TRMI, and VOICE operations were part of a $225-million budget, including war costs, in the 2012 fiscal year (FY12). That is roughly half what the State Department spends on information-based public diplomacy and just under a third of the budget for the Broadcasting Board of Governors.
- The contrast between one robust program and the lack of broader institutionalization is best explained by the varying identities, incentives, and missions of different military organizations. The military services have resisted institutionalizing public diplomacy-like activities to avoid diluting their long-standing missions, but the combatant commands, and especially SOCOM, have embraced such missions in response to their changing role in executing US foreign policy.
Public diplomacy offers a valuable example for how different organizations respond to different incentives and ultimately affect how US foreign policy is executed. Only by understanding these organizations and their incentives can we anticipate the military's future role in executing US foreign policy.
