The annual gift feels momentous this year. The unkempt patch of weeds has recovered from the Landlord's violent applications of weedkiller and everything looks vibrant, undaunted and hopeful. The eruption of dead nettles, green alkanet and dandelions is appreciated by the bees and me.
Two years ago I perched on a crumbly old brick ledge amidst these weeds with my squared notebook and my recorder. I was trying to translate green alkanet flowers into knitting charts and I was recording the sounds of the insect life living in the unruly patch along with the rumble of traffic along the adjacent main road.
I was looking towards Shetland Wool Week 2013 and to giving the very first ever Quotidian Colourwork class. I was thinking about whether knitting and listening to places can increase a sense of belonging and celebration. I remember it very clearly; the light, the slight fear of getting sunburnt, the little sounds of my pencils and paper while I sketched and the clattering of lorries going up and down the hill.
It was a day not unlike this day – in fact it was April 25th – and I felt (as today) really grateful for the flowers. And for the sunlight which seems to carry in itself the ghosts of all the spring times past.
There's a way that the evening light hits the old Reading brickwork that makes my heart sing.
It's just so rich and red. It looks like all the iron in the clay is lit from within.
When I sat by the weeds and sketched two years ago I took loads of photos. And today I seem to have taken the same photos. It doesn't seem to matter that I already photographed the nettles by the concrete breeze blocks, they must be documented again!
Today I realised, it's not about having the photograph. It's about taking the photograph.
It's about how when I stop to record something I am enjoying what it feels like to notice something. This is how I have ended up with so many recordings of blackbirds and cooking, and so many photos, apparently, of nettles.
But there is something extra in noticing this little corner of the world and its annual gift of flowers today. In the time between sitting there are sketching and recording it two years ago, I have knitted it and this process has been described and published in a book.
The research for my chapter about finding inspiration in places was happily conducted in Reading Library and the Berkshire Records Office looking at old deeds and photos…
…and marveling at lapsed time.
All of the inspiration sources in the KNITSONIK Stranded Colourwork Sourcebook are special to me but what I really love about this one is that it is a reminder that you really don't have to travel far at all to find incredible beauty.
I remember the pleasure of getting my photos back and working on the swatch based on My Street. It was so joyous to look through all those photos of weeds, to match them to shades of Jamieson & Smith yarn, to tinker with patterns and to find yet another way to record those nettles.
But on a personal level, the greatest creative pleasure of all came today.
When my amazingly talented brother Fergus Ford came to take the photos for the book the patch at the end of my street was – alas – mostly dead. Any spare dandelion or green alkanet that was there was used in our photo shoot for the book but it wasn't until today that I have been able to fully unite the swatch I made of My Street with its original inspiration source: the glorious spring time eruption of flowers.
Processes of recording, documenting, listening, knitting and playing bind me to this place; they reinforce my relationship to the details in my environment. There are touchstones everywhere which mark connections. Here is the green alkanet whose blue is so amazing, here are the bricks I photographed, here is a tree where a robin sang and I listened.
I am invested in every crack in the pavement, every patch of tarmac, every weed and bird that is here; noticing these things is what makes this street My Street.
And I love them all.
That's a beautiful post felix xxx I love that our street made its way into your heart and your book xxx
Wow!! Thanks so much, Felix, for such a wonderful post. I need to go out and just sit somewhere and look more closely at my environment. My street is just small grassy gardens but a park close by has interesting stuff like the lot on your street.
Your book is my Eye Candy!!
That is totally amazing……..one just has to LOOK!!! seriously, pay attention and you do! Thank you.
I was so moved reading this. And I felt myself transported back three decades to the days when we walked to school, noticing the world around us as we walked. My favourite times were when we were not in a hurry and could notice everything, from the squashed frog in the road to the nodding daffodils.
Such a lovely sharing. Thank you once again. My eyes got a little damp when the 3rd-to-the last picture scrolled into view. You're such an artist, with wool and words.
I have been following your Quotidian colorwork series, and I have to say this one may be my favorite! Some dandelions brightened up my patchy lawn this spring, too, and I just love the fresh green against the yellow in your swatch!
Thank you for sharing your pictures and story of spring.
Hi Felix,
Not only do you have a wonderful way with knitting, your words are most heartfelt too….I loved reading about the inspiration and thoughts behind your street swatch. I feel the same way when I've been for a walk over the marshes behind our house, coming home with a small posy of picked blooms to match up colours in patchwork and embroidery. Your love and enthusiasm for simple places of beauty is a constant to remind us all what a beautiful world we live in.
Gorgeous post. I love the colours, the love letter to your street and your beautiful knitting. Most of all I love the joy and glee that is evident that you feel from waiting for the flowers to bloom, the anxious wait to see if they survived the landlords weed killer and the power of stopping and noticing. My friendship with you means I'm much more conscious about everyday sounds and take time to appreciate everyday pleasures more. I am so glad that you had chance in the sun to stop and admire the beauteous annual gift. I'm glad it was splendid this year. "Let us sit in the sun and count on the beautiful things we can see"… Xxx
Lovely, Felix. And you are very lucky to be able to revisit. I had a favourite patch of nettles near Globe Road, not far from PYF, but the last time I passed it had been claimed and planted up. I shall return and see what happens.
I have just discovered your blog (finally! Wow!) and rejoice in how you find the beauty in the urban everyday. I take a walk every day with my dogs, at roughly 7 in the morning. It is almost always one of a couple walks, and I notice everything. I love how my neighborhood looks in all weathers, its hundred year old bright painted houses, the arching elm skeletons in deep snowy winter, the ridiculously large prairie icy puddles in spring (ok, that is gross and cold, mostly) and the joy of our lush, short and hysterically green Canadian summer. I examine it in much the same way you describe, except without camera, without needles and yarn. Mostly, with two dogs and a poop bag, but the images sing for me later, in writing and in design. Thanks for sharing that experience with me.

Man using Google Street View to get direction, catches his wife cheating (Photos)
Google Street View: A Peruvian man has divorced his wife after spotting her cheating with another man on Google Street View in Peru.
According to the man, he was trying to plan the best way to complete his journey to get a popular bridge in Lima, when he spotted someone who looked familiar, sitting on a bench and a man with his head in her lap.
And although Google Street View blurred her face, he was able to recognize her as his wife. Despite the photo dating back to 2013, he confronted his wife over her past infidelity and they later divorced after she admitted.

3M SJ3560 is a clear colored Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener that can be used in both indoor and outdoor applications.
This material is designed to replace fasteners, screws, snaps, and bolts and is great for applications that require access or repositioning.
3M Dual Lock is a fastener system that when pressed together, plastic 'mushroom stems' interlock creating an audible snap. 3M SJ3560 is a 'type 250' fastener meaning its surface has approximately 250 stems per square inch. This type performs up to five times stronger than typical Hook and Loop fasteners. This material is used in many industries including electronics, transportation, specialty vehicle, furniture and general industrial.
3M SJ3560 Reclosable Fastener Applications:
- Access Panels Attachment Systems
- Ceiling Attachment
- Wood Blinds Trim Attachment
- Much More
3M SJ3560 Dual Lock is backed with a clear pressure sensitive VHB acrylic adhesive. This adhesive is designed for applications exposed to high temperatures and humidity, or for high surface energy materials. 3M SJ3560 has a maximum operating temperature of 220 degrees Fahrenheit and can be opened and closed up to 1000 times for repeated access or repositioning. This material is both UV and plasticizer resistant.
Converting 3M SJ3560
3M SJ3560 can be die cut and converted into custom formats depending on your needs.
Slitting: Strouse can slit rolls of 3M Dual Lock Reclosable Fasteners to custom widths. This provides you fastener tape in the exact width you need for your task at hand. No excess or waste and no more using rolls that are too large and bulky or too small to get the job done.
Die Cutting: This is the process of cutting a wide roll of 3M Dual Lock into a custom shape or usable part for your process. Parts can be cut into different formats to fit seamlessly into your process.
Individual pieces – 3M Dual Lock can be laminated with liner on the adhesive leaving no exposed adhesive. This means that when parts are die cut they are provided as individual pieces that can be placed inside a bag.
Sheeted Parts – Some assembly processes require multiple shapes or parts of the same material. This is where sheeted parts come in handy. Multiple parts can be cut onto a single sheet ensuring that your employees will use all of the required parts during assembly. This reduces error in your process as well as the potential for product failure.
Die Cut Parts on a Roll – This is our most popular format for providing die cuts. Custom cut parts can be provided on a liner in the form of a rolled good. This allows for hundreds or thousands of parts to fit on a single roll. This makes application of die cut parts easy and efficient as parts can be removed from the roll and the next part is ready to be peeled and placed.
Tabs or Extended Liners: Die cut solutions are great for hand assembly or automated processes but sometimes removing the backing from an adhesive die cut can be difficult. Strouse simplifies this process by adding a tab to the part or extended liners that make it easy to remove the liner and place the adhesive. Liners can also be split backed saving your assembly team the frustration of removing thin liners while saving you time and money in the process.
Other Popular 3M Dual Lock Fasteners:
Strouse is a 3M Preferred Converter and can source dual lock tape from 3M at discounts due to the large orders we often place. We have over 75,000 rolls of material and more than 2,000 individual materials in stock at any given time. If you're looking for a specific material, just ask our engineers, but these are some of the more popular:
- 3M SJ3245 Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener
- 3M SJ3443 Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener
- 3M SJ3460 Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener
- 3M SJ3540 Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener
- 3M SJ3550 Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener
- 3M SJ3551 Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener
- 3M SJ3870 Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener
- 3M SJ4570 Dual Lock Reclosable Fastener
- and Many Others!
Take a Look at Hook and Loop Materials as Well!
- And Others

Scottsdale Quarter addition proposed
Glimcher Realty Trust has submitted plans for the next phase of Scottsdale Quarter.
The proposed building, at Butherus Drive and 73rd Street,would have 30,000 square feet of retail, topped by office space. The building would be six stories tall with an integrated garage.
The site is 2.7 acres at the southeastern corner of the Scottsdale Quarter site.
"The additional office and retail will further solidify Scottsdale Quarter as a place of employment and tourist enjoyment," the plans say.
The plans will go before the Development Review Board, which meets Thursday, March 20. No agenda has been set, so it is not yet known whether the proposal will be heard at that time.
The new building will anchor the eastern portion of the Scottsdale Quarter site. The northern end, along Greenway-Hayden Loop, will feature a similar building, with commercial at ground level and six stories of apartments. It is under construction, with completion expected in 2015.
A proposal for the land in the central area of the Scottsdale Quarter property has yet to be submitted, but it is expected to extend the current courtyard at the center of the project, with three buildings. One would be to either side of the open space, with the third anchoring the eastern side of the parcel.
It could include a hotel, which would be connected to the proposed parking structure. The parking structure would have artistic elements in the design — a mountainscape is in the proposal.
Scottsdale Quarter was proposed in late 2007 to replace the Dial Innovation Center, which moved north on Scottsdale Road to the north side of Loop 101.
Phase 1 opened in spring 2009, and Phase 2 in fall 2010. It occupies 28 acres across Scottsdale Road from Kierland Commons, a retail, office and residential area at Greenway and Scottsdale roads.
Marketing director Alison Goodman said the development's office space is full, and retail space is 95 percent leased.

The Pétionville Club
On January 12, 2010, a 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti, killing more than 200,000 people and devastating the already struggling city of Port-au-Prince. Those who survived were mostly left homeless and without food or resources. Up to 50,000 erected a camp near the edge of the city on a private golf course known as the Pétionville Club.

I have probably watched every episode at least a dozen times. I could dominate every trivia game. I could throw out quote after quote. I could probably even quote entire episodes. I know every character and their whole story. In fact, my love for literature and part of my desire to be an English teacher stems from this show.
Boy Meets World.
We all have that show, or maybe that movie. Maybe several shows and several movies. I have a group of friends that can quote the entire script of Megamind. Truth be told, I don't think that there is anything inherently wrong with that. I do think that we should strive to guard our minds and hearts from things that are contrary to the Word of God and don't follow guidelines seen in Philippians 1:8 which says, "Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things." But I digress from these beliefs, and move to my point.
A few years ago, I was faced with an extremely convicting question: Do I know the Word of God more than anything else?
I am privileged to teach a number of brilliant students. The things that they know often astound me. They all seem to have some area of specific interest, and they want to learn everything they can about whatever it is. You could probably think of your own interests in which you are quite knowledgeable. I think that is a good thing. But could someone say that you know your Bible?
In my last post, I addressed simply getting into God's Word on a daily basis, but now you must go beyond that. You should be reading with a purpose. You should desire for God to speak to you through His Word, to change you to be more like Jesus Christ. In fact, we are commanded to be followers of God (Ephesians 5:1). That word followers literally means that we are to be imitators. How can you imitate something that you don't know the least bit about? You can't.
So how can you read with purpose?
First things first, when you sit down to read your Bible, remove all distractions.
Please do not attempt to read your Bible in front of the television. Try to find a quiet place, where you can't be bothered by siblings or pets or whatever. Above all, put your cell phone away! There are so many things screaming for your attention, don't let them drown out what God is trying to say through His Word.
Once all distractions are removed, have a specific goal – determine that you will get something from what you read. Psalm 119:18 says, "Open thou mine eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of they law."
I think one of the best ways to fulfill this goal is to keep a Bible reading journal. Write down what you read, and then write down something that God showed you from that portion of Scripture. It may be a specific verse that God brought to your attention. It may be one word that will stay with you throughout the day. It may be a paragraph. It may be a prayer written out. Just write something!
Now, not everyone may agree with me on this, but I suggest marking your Bible. Highlight verses. Write in the margins. I love looking back at a Bible and seeing what verses stood out to me through different times in my life. In fact, moving from one Bible to another is difficult for me because I don't want to lose all those markings (not that they are lost, they just aren't as accessible).
After God has shown you something, meditate on it throughout the day. Psalm 1:2 says, "But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he meditate day and night." Psalm 119:15 says, "I will meditate in thy precepts, and have respect unto thy ways. The Bible also speaks for itself when it says, "Bind them continually upon thine heart, and tie them about thy neck. When thou goest it shall lead thee; when thou sleepest, it shall keep thee; and when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee. For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light, and reproofs of instruction are the way of life." (Proverbs 6:21-23) I am always amazed how God will use something from my devotions throughout the rest of the day, and often times I am able to share the blessing with others. Don't just read your Bible to mark it off a checklist, read so that you can apply it's principles to your daily life. Reading with a purpose will allow the Word of God to change you, guide you, comfort you, strengthen you.
Finally, and quite possibly most importantly, memorize the Word of God. I could probably write an entire post on this point alone. First, it can keep you from sin. A familiar verse to many is Psalm 119:11, "Thy word have I hid in mine heart, that I might not sin against thee." It can provide direction when faced with a choice. It can bring comfort in time of sorrow. You know your besetting sins and struggles better than anyone. Find verses that will help you, and put them to memory. If you don't know where to find the verses, ask! It is likely that God has placed spiritual influences in your life who can help you. Start with one verse a week, and see how often God will use that verse! I have no doubt you will be amazed!
So do you want to know God's Word… truly know it? It won't just happen. You must make a conscious effort. I will say, however, that the more you do, the more you will begin to desire it.
So, girl (or boy), meet your Bible. Know your Bible. Unlike your movie quotes and other random bits of (usually useless) knowledge, it will change your life!
"Blessed are they that keep his testimonies, and that seek him with the whole heart." ~ Psalm 119:2

As technology improves and analytics becomes more and more of a focus for every business over time, corporate leaders are beginning to realize the importance of data quality. It's obviously vital - if you're going to great lengths to analyze your customers and figure out how to meet their needs, what good will it do if all your data is wrong?
An error in quality can be any number of things - it might be a misspelled name or a wrong address, or it might be a particular demographic or financial detail that's incorrect. Any of the above can lead to companies making faulty assumptions about their patrons, which can only lead to bad news down the road.
It's therefore clear that something needs to be done about "dirty data." But what? If you ask the data curators in many corporate offices, they'll tell you that a reactive strategy is the easiest way to go. Shuffle through your existing data, find the mistakes, correct them and move on. That's the obvious solution, and on paper it makes sense.
Except there's an issue. According to Business 2 Community, that's not the most efficient way to go. Data management expert Michael Farrington called attention to a recent study from Sirius Decisions about the way companies handle their customer relationship management records. The research revealed that the cost of fixing a bad CRM record tends to be around $10. The cost of preventing that bad record from happening in the first place? Far lower - more like $1.
This makes intuitive sense. After all, fixing an erroneous piece of information is a lot of work. It requires exhaustingly searching through databases, finding the mistakes, proving that they are in fact mistakes, going back and verifying the correct info, and then resubmitting it all. All that time adds up, and companies are going to pay handsomely for the labor.
Preventing a mistake before it happens, though? Far easier. There's no tiresome searching involved - it's just collect and clean.
Here's a recommended three-step process for efficient and foolproof verification of data quality:
Clean the data
The key is to gather information from people and cleanse it at the initial point of collection - but the tricky part is that different users' points of collection may vary. One person might send information in the mail, using a handwritten form, while another might submit it online and a third might use a mobile device. They all might use different formats and abbreviations to spell out their information. A good way to clean data is to make sure everything, as it's collected, is in a good standardized format to be easily read and used later.
Protect the data
Data quality is more than a one-time thing, though. Once information is collected in the first place, it needs to be protected down the road. This means consistently checking up and making sure nothing needs to be changed. If someone moves, that's a new address. If they get married, it might mean a new last name. Pieces of data are becoming outdated and inaccurate all the time. The challenge is in keeping up.
Enrich the data
Thirdly: Is it really enough just to have data that's free from mistakes? Simply having an entry without typos is a fairly low standard to settle for. A superior strategy is this: Once you have an accurate file on a customer, seek to enhance it. Reel in more information that will give you a greater understanding of their complete profile. Include an email address, a Twitter handle, some purchasing history details that might better inform you. Every little piece of knowledge helps, so a bit of data enrichment can take you a long way.

Easy Apple Crisp Recipe
This is an Easy Apple Crisp Recipe that you're bound to love! It uses freshly chopped apples and is topped with an irresistible buttery oatmeal crumble. Serve it cold or serve it warm! I recommend you serve it warm with a big scoop of homemade creamy vanilla ice cream!
I know what you're thinking, "Does it taste as good as it looks?" YES! Yes, it does!
This EASY apple crisp recipe has been in my family for years. When September and October come rolling around, we have oodles of apples at our disposal. Buckets and buckets full of apples. (My dad has at least 5 apple trees in his backyard).
What to do with all of those apples? We would make caramel apple dip, apple pie caramel apples, fresh apple juice, apple pie, and my favorite… apple crisp!
What is apple crisp?
- Apple crisp is also known as apple crumble. Apple crumble is the preferred name for those living in the United Kingdom, Canada, and Australia. Whatever you choose to call it, they're the exact same thing. ?
- Apple crisp contains fresh apples topped with a streusel topping that gets baked until the apples are soft and cooked.
What kind of apples do you use for apple crisp?
- Any kind of apples will do. Granny Smith apples are very tart so they pair well with the sweetness of the added sugar. I like to use a blend of Granny Smith and Gala apples or even Honeycrisp apples.
- The beauty of it is that you can use whichever apples you have on hand!
Do you have to peel apples for easy apple crisp?
- Technically, no you don't have to peel the apples before making apple crisp. However, I recommend you do.
- I've made apple crisp with the skin on and I don't enjoy it. Despite the apples cooking in the oven long enough to soften the flesh and the skin, I found the skin to be chewy and catch in my throat easily. Do as you wish. If you keep the skins on, PLEASE leave a comment at the bottom of this post and let me know what you think!
How to make Easy Apple Crisp
- Peel, core, and slice apples. This doesn't need to be a time consuming process. I use this gadget to speed it up! Works wonders!
- Toss the cut apples with the sugar, flour, salt, and cinnamon.
- Place the sugar coated apples in a baking dish. I use a 9 inch square baking dish.
- Make the streusel topping by combining the ingredients together. Cut the butter into the dry ingredients by using a pastry cutter, a fork, or your hands.
- Sprinkle the streusel topping over the apples.
- Bake until golden brown and the juices are bubbling.
Now that we've covered a few common questions regarding a basic apple crisp recipe, I wanted to remind you that THIS apple crisp trumps all.
Why, you ask?
Well, an important part to any apple crisp is the streusel crumble on top. It can't be a thin layer. No. That doesn't work. There needs to be enough crumble to accompany every single bite of apple.
And this easy apple crisp recipe does just that!
Don't feel pressured to eat this all in one sitting, although, I'm sure it can be done (don't ask me how I know)!
Apple crisp will last for about 3 days. I recommend you cover it with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator.
When ready to eat it again, pull it out and eat it cold, or better yet, heat in in the microwave for 15-20 seconds, top it with vanilla ice cream and dig in!

- Transfer the sugar coated apples to a greased* 9 inch square pan.

- Spread the crumble mixture evenly overtop the sliced apples.
- Bake for 35-45 minutes or until bubbly and the top is golden brown.
- Remove from oven. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, yum!

Getting in the Spirit of Thanksgiving
Here are a few things I do with students to help get them in the spirit of Thanksgiving.
- I give my students a list of people or objects (the President, a professional football player, Snoopy, Harriet Tubman, a Martian, a pizza pan, etc.) and ask them to write a paragraph, sentence, or a few words describing what the person or object has to be thankful for. This often leads to good discussions and has resulted in some excellent pieces of writing from my students.
- My students keep a calendar for the month of November and every night write a few sentences about something they are thankful for that happened that day.
- To work on research skills I give my students thirty questions about Thanksgiving. In order to complete the assignment, they must use all sorts of reference materials. I ask questions about the Mayflower's voyage and the dimensions of the ship, the number of passengers who made the trip, which President declared Thanksgiving a holiday, and many others. The students must use an atlas, dictionary, encyclopedia, and other reference materials — even a cookbook — to find the answers! This is a good activity in which to involve parents.
- Each of my students is asked to bring a favorite recipe for Thanksgiving dinner and type it on our class computer. Then we make a cookbook to send home to each family.

Duck Dynasty's Willie and Korie Robertson Share Family Holiday Photos
Korie and Willie Robertson share some personal pictures of their family's Christmas celebrations past
This ain't no Kardashian Christmas card.
Duck Dynasty's Korie and Willie Robertson are sharing personal holiday photos that show a happy, grounded – and in one case beard-free! – family embracing holiday traditions like meetings with Santa Claus and hitting the slopes.
But Christmas is about more than just shopping and skiing for this family: as devout Christians, they've told PEOPLE that they've "always been blessed with the season." In fact, they adopted son Will around the holidays 11 years ago, and one month after that, found out they were expecting daughter Bella.
So in the spirit of the season, take a look back at some of the Robertsons' favorite holiday snapshots, and visit duckthehalls.com for more festive moments from the whole Duck Dynasty clan.
"I love to ski," Korie says of this shot, taken with then-little John Luke and Sadie in Colorado.
It's not easy being green! Willie paints his face and dons a cap to play the Grinch while performing "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" with Saide and John Luke. "We called Sadie 'Sadie Loo Who,' " Korie recalls.
Ho ho … no? At a church Christmas party, Willie played Santa Claus. "I was the children's minister at the time so I volunteered [him]," Korie says. "I think Sadie recognized his voice!"
The family of four gets together for a picture-perfect Christmas card. "Willie has his starter beard," Korie points out. "You can still see his cute dimples."
Eight years later, the family has grown to include son Will, daughter Bella and Taiwanese exchange student Rebecca. "Maybe this is why the kids sang the song 'Santa Looked a Lot Like Daddy' on our Christmas album," Korie says. "I didn't realize until I looked back at all these pictures how often I make Willie put on a Santa suit. After Duck Dynasty maybe he can get a job in the mall at Christmastime."

The last installment of my "year end post" series is here!! This last one is like, save the best for the last. After Best OST and Heart Attack Oppas, the third post is about 6 dramas that I really liked this year. I don't want to force myself. I don't want to tell myself hey let's make it top 10, top 6 is so weird. It's simply because I only highly enjoyed these 6 dramas this year. Others did satisfy my craving but they didn't leave such deep impression unlike these six. Please note that this series (year end post series) is very very subjective and 10000% biased. The dramas are listed organized in chronological order. Now, shall we start? ^^ More

"You can't make everyone happy. You know what you call a man who tries to make everyone happy? Asshole." – Na Ji Ah (Ex-Girlfriends Club)
A light hearted, cute and fluffy romcom from tvN called Ex-Girlfriend Club wrapped up its run exactly 8 days ago. It's a recommended drama if you just want to relax and enjoy the trip. The story tells about Bang Myung Soo whose webtoon is famous and gets adapted into a movie. So far everything sounds fine, right? NOPE. More

The Gang
The struggle to mold something into language is like the resistance of the towering firs against the storm.
Martin Heidegger, "Why Do I Stay in the Provinces?" (1934 radio address)
Feeling trashed-out due to long afternoons and late nights sifting through business-related data and paperwork, I'm a little thin on inspirational reading tonight, and ready for bed well ahead of my usual bedtime. But as I prepare for my final weekend at The Gallery at Redlands, I've received such affirming news throughout this day from friends, colleagues and students planning to make the two-hour trek to east Texas this weekend and wish me well. My feelings of gratitude are impossible to mold adequately into words, just as Heidegger stated in his radio address above.
Making art is a solitary enterprise. No one can do it for you. And I haven't placed much stock in collaboration on artistic work. But I know how it is to feel isolated and out of step with the world at times when I'm submerged in my work. When I find occasion to reach out an connect with other kindred spirits, I know I have found something special in this life. I've posted a picture of the circle of artistic spirits that I'm honored to know as dear friends. We gather weekly at a cafe on the north side of town to exchange ideas, inspiration and to build one another up. They have repeatedly turned my life and emotions around to the positive side just by their words and enthusiasm. For years, I had wished to know the kind of camaraderie experienced by the Ash Can School, the French Impressionists, the Lot Generation and the New York School as they found a cafe or bar where they could gather and flourish. Finally, I have found a place and a circle of souls to provide that nurture. So, I thank you–Pam, Kelly, Stacy, Elaine and Ian–for what you bring to the table of artistic inspiration. There are so few like you.
Thanks for reading.
I paint in order to discover.
I journal when I feel alone.
I blog to remind myself I am not alone.

Supreme Court will decide billion-dollar question for online sales: Can states collect sales taxes on all purchases?
The Supreme Court announced Friday that it will consider allowing states to require all online sellers to collect sales taxes, revoking an old rule that costs states billions in lost revenues.
The justices said they would hear an appeal from South Dakota and 35 other states that says the current "physical presence" rule is outdated and unfair in an era when Americans do much of their shopping online.
In 1992, when home shopping was dominated by mail-order catalogs, the high court ruled a state may require out-of-state companies to collect sales taxes only if the company had outlets or warehouses within the state. The justices said then that requiring companies to do more would amount to discrimination against interstate commerce.
But the explosion of internet sales has put pressure on Congress and the court to reconsider the issue. Traditional retailers joined the fray, arguing it is unfair to require them, but not their online competitors, to charge sales tax with each purchase.
States and counties told the court they lose between $13 billion and $34 billion each year because they cannot collect sales taxes on all online purchases.
While Congress has the constitutional authority to regulate interstate commerce, the House and Senate have not agreed on a law to regulate tax collections for online sales.
State lawyers were cheered two years ago when Justice Anthony M. Kennedy said the court should "reexamine" the 1992 decision in Quill Corp. vs. North Dakota. That decision was "questionable even when decided," and is "now inflicting extreme harm and unfairness on the states," Kennedy wrote in a concurring opinion.
Justice Neil Gorsuch also voiced skepticism about the 1992 decision when he was an appeals court judge, describing it as having created "a sort of judicially sponsored tax shelter."
Kennedy's comments prompted South Dakota to launch a new attack on the physical presence rule. On Friday, the court said it will hear the case of South Dakota vs. Wayfair in April, with a ruling likely by late June.
The justices also said they will review several legislative districts in Texas to decide whether they were drawn to dilute the voting power of Latinos. The case is Abbott vs. Perez.

But again, back to Canada. This was also the first time that the hubs and I would be on vacation, alone, where he didn't really have to work. We were there for a work party, honoring everyone who helped make the project a success. The only work he had to do was show up to the party and give a short speech. So we got to have fun together and boy did we.
Banff National Park, a pristine beauty and must for your Bucket List. We only saw a fraction of this area and I would love to come back and see more.
Lake Louise, Banff National Park, so beautiful and an awesome shade of blue. I've never seen a lake so blue, it was also very cold... very, very, cold.
Moraine Lake in Banff National Park, which was partially frozen made an awesome echo when rocks were thrown against the ice.
Mike and I at Lake Louise, it's a very romantic location, especially since it's 32 degrees, perfect snuggling weather.
Armengol Statues in downtown Calgary, supposed to symbolize humans helping humans because honestly, we're all the same.
Fall in Calgary is so beautiful, it's breathtaking.
The Calgary Tower
Downtown Calgary from the Calgary Tower.
Mike and I at the top of Calgary Tower, getting ready to eat at the rotating restaurant, Sky 360.
The sky walk at the top of Calgary Tower.
I fell in love with Canada the short time we were there. The people are so nice (except for Border Control, DO NOT mess with those guys, they have no sense of humor) and I know I've made some lifelong friends.

I've been trying to resist, and can resist no longer. After reading both Scamp's and Shinmaru's choices for Saimecha, I have to throw my nominations out there. Note that I'm not a serious mechafag, but I do enjoy the genre. So settle down, and enjoy. I expect most of these are too obscure to make it to the final 32, but they'll always have place in my heart.
Tachikoma (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex)
These little robotic critters serve to help out the police force(?) of Ghost in the Shell, performing tasks that humans can't. They would be plenty cute on their own, but they had to go further. Give the Tachikoma the ability to talk, and then they star in their only mini-short. Seriously, if you want to see the combination of mecha and cute, the Tachikoma does it incredibly well. The only mecha that could hope to be that cute is the penguin robot of Gauken Alice.
Moving along after that little plug for Gauken Alice…
Gekiganger (Nadesico, Gekiganger OVA)
When it comes to the representation of 80's mecha, Gekiganger does it best. Not to mention, the show is so cool, t even aliens dig it. Hostile nations bond together just for this robot! …I'm going to stop talking before I start to feel depressed.
Deathscythe Hell (Gundam Wing)
On top of the mentioned above, Deathscythe has some of the coolest cloaking/stealthing/whatever action. It's a huge robot that can sneak up on it's victims. Da-yum.
Wing Zero (Gundam Wing: Endless Waltz)
I'll be blunt here. Wing Zero sucks. You know why? Well, it's no secret that the storyline of Gundam Wing was pretty weak, but Wing Zero was the ultimate Get Out Of Jail Free card. Everytime the writers wrote themselves into a corner, they used Wing Zero and it's ~mysterious powers~ to get them out of it by having someone take a ride in the Gundam.
Yet they made it look so cool in the movie that it would be a shame not to include it.
I hate you Wing Zero but I can't not include you.
Rayearth (Magic Knights Rayearth)
Rayearth is kinda a big deal. These days, the combination of magical girls and mecha is hardly innoventive but it had to come from somewhere. Magic Knights Rayearth was the first magical girl series to provide the crossing of genres between mahou shoujo and mecha, and I'm top of that, gave some bad-ass robots. Of the three, Rayearth was my favorite.
On that note, if you're interested in where mecha began to cross into other genres, see Escaflowne.
Normal underachieving school girl stuck with a boyfriend who can't keep it in his pants, and then she gets kidnapped by the government and turned into the ultimate weapon/mecha by the government. One might argue that being part human, she doesn't qualify, but that little humanity she has…disappears fast. In the end of the manga, she's a giant spaceship. It's part awesome, but at the same time the entire series makes it look Madoka has it easy.
These are the police force robots in the world of Patlabor. These beast are sleek, sexy, and get the job done. They're so awesome, the OVA theme song is a love song dedicated to the robot. One of pilots even gives her Patlabor a name. By the way, if you're looking for a series with some top-notch characters and that is great fun, Patlabor is a great place to look.
Galaxy Express 999 (Galaxy Express 999)
Gurren Lagaan (Gurren Lagaan)
I think there's something about Gurren Lagaan for everyone to like. It has a nice design, the aspect of being the result of a transformer robot where the pilots have to work together, and is powered by manpower. It also has no limits, continuing to get bigger and badder. Of course, Gurren Lagaan doesn't make any sense, but it's very upfront about the fact that it doesn't make sense, nor is it suppose to.
Team Rocket are the masters of absurd mecha. This is my favorite of the whole bunch. Something about the whole mecha inside mecha…or maybe just the fact that it's a big-ass catepillar.
And now some honorable mentions for some machines that in my eyes, I can't see as mechas, but are pretty awesome and still sprung to mind right away when I was thinking of ideas for this list.
The biggest baddest airship ever. The question is, how can they make a ship as cool as the Silvana one in the sequel?
Hermes is a motorcycle that talks, often complaining or making wry comments. Yet he isn't annoying, and instead is a rather entertaining presence throughout the series.
Okay, he is a mecha, but he's out due to be a mecha from American Animation. Still, he's one of the best robots ever…
Anyway, I hope everyone reading has all enjoyed. More then anything else, please support SaiMecha.
