Unconditional Love: Is it a myth?
Everyone wants to be in a secure relationship at some point in his or her life. The kind of relationship where one emphatically feels at last their heart has found a home. This means a lot of things to different people.
Robert Frost stated, "Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in." Home is also the place where you let your hair down, kick off your shoes, relax, and be your "authentic self". We say what we want and do what we want without concerning ourselves with being "politically correct". Home is the place where I'm free to be me. Billy Sunday said; "Home is the place we love best and grumble the most."
For many people being at home in a relationship or marriage means unconditional love. No matter what one says or does they are assured their mate will never abandon them. There will be laughter and tears throughout the years but at the end of day when it's all said and done they will find themselves in each other's arms. Breaking up and divorce are not options. Always And Forever!
The problem with holding onto these definitions of home and the romanticism of unconditional love is each of us has an ego which requires certain things. We want our mates to be considerate of our feelings. We want to be respected, appreciated, and adored by our significant others. A person who says whatever comes to their mind without using an "edit button" or taking into account their mate's feelings is not likely to be in that relationship for very long especially if their partner has any self-love for themselves. Truth be told not many of us want a doormat for mate. Therein lies the contradiction.
Deal Breakers
The most common examples of "unconditional love" are often attributed to god's love for mankind and a parent's love for their child, especially a mother's love.
Everyone else has "deals breakers" whether it's verbal/physical abuse, cheating, financial irresponsibility, compulsive lying, and hidden addictions such as gambling, drinking, drugs, and pornography. Deal breakers are boundaries or a "line in the sand" which serves to measure how much value we place on our relationship and those we are involved with. To knowingly commit an act which your mate considers to be one of their "deal breakers" says a lot about how much you care about them.
Loving in Reverse
Quite a few people practice loving in reverse. In other words they subscribe to the notion of bending over backwards to please someone new whom they are attracted to in order to win them over. They remove the word "no" from their vocabulary. They agree to every suggestion this person makes. Odds are both people are behaving the same way which leads them to believe they have found their "soul-mate". After there is an "emotional investment" and time goes by there is an expectation that giving one's best is no longer a requirement to maintain the relationship. We make ourselves "at home" and "relax". In fact the longer the relationship lasts the less concerned we become with our appearance or pleasing them. If for some reason the relationship ends we go back to being on our "best behavior" in order to attract a new person. One would think we'd be much kinder to someone who has been with us through the ups and downs over the years than someone we are trying to get to know. We treat the "new" better than the "tried and true".
Unconditional Love
Aside from god's love of mankind and a mother's love for her child the only real unconditional love left is the love we have for ourselves. Wherever you go there you are. No one else is going to stay with you "forever" if you don't make them feel special, loved, and appreciated. Long-term relationships come with a price. Both people have to put in the effort to nurture the relationship. You have to respect and value one another. However most importantly you have to understand no one is "stuck" with anyone. Everyone has "deal breakers". Unless one lacks self-esteem unconditional love is a myth!
"Parents were the only ones obligated to love you; from the rest of the world you had to earn it." - Ann Brashares
The Reality of Love...
Thanks for being so honest about this sensitive subject. Really there is no such thing as unconditional love. Parental love may come close to it, but it is something that is learned; the proliferation of child abuse proves that. It may be painful for people to realize, but no one has the right to abuse another and still demand approval. Love is a two-way street; once you're in a relationship, good morals and manners become even MORE important.
Love can't be unconditional. Love, in itself, is a condition. When you ask yourself why you love a person, the answer usually revolves a feeling you get when you are with them. That feeling is created by visuals, sounds, thoughts, and touch. Were all of these things to change beyond recognition, either your idea of love changes with it, or the love disappears. If you are lucky, your love is FLEXIBLE.
Indeed....so much more..
Unconditional love is NOT a commitment. One is given freely, the other, volitionally..with will and intent.
Commitment to stay married is NOT a proof of unconditional love.
I can love a person without bounds. It does not mean I have to be with him for one reason or another. It means he is free to walk away at will, if it will make him happier, and I will love him just the same.
Maybe there are not enough people with integrity, people who attempts to keep commitments and is able to identify another's point of view. They are usually found in a wonderful upper class area. I think you can find unconditional love if that is what you really like. You will never find any one as civilized and loving as Jesus.
I think what your parents had was a loving commited marriage where there was (mutual respect and consideration).
Yes, but also, the fact that they even married each other already proved that they loved each other unconditionally..
It was not a culturally accepted union. Few people would have dared..I think there is this line in The Great Gatsby..so cold but so true, especially during their time. "Rich girls don't marry poor boys.."
Hardly. It is not at all a myth. I saw it with my parents. They loved each other unconditionally.
I never heard them fight with each other nor did they ever say anything unfavorable about each other, ever. So it does exist.
This is so true...
Long-term relationships come with a price. Both people have to put in the effort to nurture the relationship. You have to respect and value one another

Moose n' Me by Kenny Loggins (Good Ol' Dog Publishing)
There once was a dog, and Kenny was his owner-o. True story, and now the next generation can learn all about it in this illustrated book, based on a tune that Loggins wrote before he ever hung out with Messina. It's a bit funny trying to read a book to your kid that's supposed to be sung (the chorus pages are the sticking point); however, the tale of a dog that loves its master is forever gold, and this casts it as brilliantly as can be, with sweet drawings by Joshua Nash. Now if we could just get the pages to sing … —MK

text: Scratch cards are a pervasive form of gambling in the Canadian marketplace. Despite their widespread appeal, we are only beginning to understand the influence of their structural characteristics on the player. The most widely studied of these characteristics is the near-miss, a game outcome in which the player gets two of the three needed symbols to win a jackpot prize. Although other authors have noted the existence of these outcomes in scratch cards, no systematic investigation has been undertaken to understand their occurrence in these games. We present the results of an analysis to determine the frequency of these outcomes using two samples (sample A, n = 41; sample B, n = 61) of a popular scratch card game available in Ontario, Canada. Our results suggest that certain scratch card games may be designed to include more pairs of jackpot symbols (i.e., more near-miss outcomes) than any other symbol pair. In the game that we analyzed, the top prize symbol occurred more often than any other symbol and appeared to be manipulated to appear in clusters of two, creating many near-miss outcomes to the jackpot prize. This work has strong implications for the study of gambling behaviour, responsible gambling strategies, as well as for the scientific investigation of scratch card games.

Does Making Sleep Uncomfortable Increase Productivity?
Does a Floor Mat to Sleep On Beat a Bed Any Day?
When I was in college I had a girlfriend who found it mystifying that most of the men she knew, whether friends, acquaintances or former boyfriends, chose to sleep on the couch. Even if they had a bed, they would instead choose to use their couch or even sleep on the floor. This didn't make much sense to her. Why would anyone forgo the comfort of a bed for a hard floor or a couch too short for one's frame? It's a difference between how men and women look at the world and their place in it.
It was impossible to truly explain this to her, because I was also one of the couch people. While I had some Asian friends who may have contributed to my non-bed thinking ways, since tradition has often promoted bamboo sleeping mats etc. in the east, the hybrid between the two for extra-white guys seems be to use the couch.
Women however seem to prefer a focus on comfort and the richness of life that centers on a bed that is as comfy as possible, with lots of throw pillows added in. Even when they are young and ambitious and have not chosen what they want to do with their lives, they like their sleeping quarters to be magnificently furnished little cubby holes. This seems to tie into a view that the best life, even when you are a student or have a modest income, is one surrounded by warm luxury whcih can cultivate strong relationships. Such an outlook makes the concept of the bed a sleeping ideal. This is a good thing of course. Its an outlook on living that is probably what makes the stability of civilization itself possible.
Young men however, whether through conditioning or genetic tendencies, tend to see life as simultaneously both an opportunity and a threat. The more alert you are and the more active, the more of an upper hand you can gain on your situation. This is where couch and floor sleeping approaches challenge that of using a relaxing, soft bed. If you sleep on a couch or on the floor, you are likely to be somewhat uncomfortable and more easily awoken when inspiration or danger strikes.
This also makes it much easier to get up in the morning if your day has been truly exhausting, both physically and mentally, and such is often the case for young adults trying to make their way in the world for the first time. At the same time, with modern technology, your work and contacts through laptops, Ipads or smartphones are immediately accessible and nearby on a couch. The coffee table, for many men in this situation, is really an impromptu desk. Who wants a work desk in their bedroom? But men who sleep on couches don't mind such a hybrid environment.
In the past the counterpart to "couch sleepers" was probably men who slept with their swords, or horses. Sleeping on the couch or floor makes you feel like you are in a constant state of readiness, like a firefighter sleeping in the firehouse, ready at a moment's notice to jump into action.
Whether this actually translates into higher levels of productivity is a matter for debate. But the idea is that it promotes a mindset of mobility and flexibility to take on unexpected challenges. Men tend to be greater risk takers than women, which is why there are far more men in prison and far more men heading up corporations.
Women can complain about this by alluding to the "glass ceiling" in society, but the reality is that the glass ceiling is often, at least in part, built by women themselves. For every successful man there are probably a hundred men who are miserable failures for long periods of time, couch dwellers going nowhere fast. Men are willing to take what women consider crazy risks (and they often truly are crazy risks). They also were willing to live in discomfort, even when the nice cozy bed was only a room away.
Its takes both approaches to build a society. Couch sleepers are more impermanent residents of any living situation, but they also tend to be the pioneers and innovators that stir up the local environment. Bed sleepers are more stable and probably enjoy life more, good neighbors not afraid to enjoy the comforts of home around them, built up by centuries of development. Whichever one you are, your life tends to revolve around whether you see the world as Eisenhower once described it or not. He was both a famous general in World War II and an effective president of the US, and his view of life was that "There is no security on Earth, only opportunity." If you think like that, you're probably a couch sleeper.

OS X To Get A Facelift With Snow Leopard
Snow Leopard to bring new UI codenamed marble
By: Zac O'Vadka | Posted: Mar 26, 2009 3:37 am
Comment | Email to a Friend | Font Size: AA
Engadget says that Apple's Snow Leopard update might just feature a new UI. Codenamed "marble," it is said that the new appearance will be darker and sleeker than the current UI.
Many are saying that the new scrollbars in iTunes and iPhoto are a sign of things to come. There is also the above mockup of QuickTime X that has caused all sorts of random guesses on just what is comming. Of course all of this is pure speculation at this point, and we are just going to have to wait for the official word from Apple before we know for sure what is really going to happen.

I can't believe it's been over a month since I've been on here – wow!
Thanks for the link-love that you've been sending this way – we're still clocking in between 30 and 140 readers a day….I find that absolutely incredible and humbling, but I'm glad you find enough here that draws you back.
I'm sure the blogging break was for a good purpose and alot has been stirred up for me this month.
This post has little to do with REPURPOSING things, but more on the REPURPOSED life I find myself living.
*** ready, go ***
When we look back in the news, history will tell the tale of panic, confusion and many more unseemly things in the month of Oct 2009. The whole H1N1 kerfluffle has opened up a new passion in me. That passion is to wake people up to what is going on in our world…
I'm not a nut, and this is not going to be a post about the deep, dark, evils that are lurking., However it is going to be a post designed to get you thinking, and quite possibly taking some action.
Whatever side of the spectrum that you fall on when it comes to the vaccination, this post is not intended to open up a debate for one side or the other. It is however, designed to let you know that YOU DO HAVE A CHOICE.
I don't want anyone reading this post to feel bad / guilty / righteous over any choice they have made regarding this issue, so please if you are finding yourself in any of those positions, take yourself out of them..finish reading this with an open mind….
For many years now, we have been slowly giving up our rights to make decisions for our own bodies, and those of our children. At the slightest cough or fever, we have started not to trust our own intuitions and rushed to the doctor's office, taking each and every suggestion the Doctor has made as gospel for us….this has created FEAR in us, and a lack of understanding of how our bodies were created.
We abuse our bodies at every turn and every meal, and then wonder where degenerative diseases / auto-immune diseases are coming from. We rush to our doctor's and pop whatever pills they prescribe and keep living our self-destructive lives.
We are so busy moving our families from place to place that we rarely take the time to decipher the things our bodies are telling us. We accept things like acne, allergies, and constipation as normal and never take a minute to try and connect the dots.
It is unfortunate that our cutting edge medical system is now built on a system of profit motivation. It only makes sense to get us numbed to our own bodies and signals…the more drugs they can pump out, the more their stock goes up, our investment portfolios grow and everybody's happy, right?
Not so!
It's time to slow down.
It's time to connect some dots and make some changes which will result in our bodies coming into the balance they were created for.
That is a long road…we are so conditioned to being followers that it is hard, very hard to buck the trend and to simply start the process by saying NO.
The NO doesn't have to be concrete. It doesn't have to be the end. It actually signals the beginning because until we can say YES with conviction to back it up, we must say NO.
We have to take responsibility for our own health, our own bodies, and our families. We have to stop giving up and bowing down to the modern medical system. Now whoa Nellie…I am not saying the entire system is broken and I am extremely grateful for so many parts of our medical system that have the resources and abilities to save so many lives…..I'm just calling for a new balance. One that looks at the front end, one that says our bodies are fearfully and wonderfully made and that works to support our natural healing abilities that start with BETTER CHOICES.
I've always said that if I had enough time and money I'd become a Naturopathic Doctor….well that hasn't happened yet, but I do alot of reading and research on dietary nutrition and natural remedies….not enough to make me an expert, but enough to know that there are alternatives….
There are some very good voices out there – people educated in the medical system who can see the better way….working tirelessly for a new system…a system that stops long enough to consider the health that can be achieved without a reliance on manufactured drugs. I support these workers- especially those who don't put down the current system with absolutes – who call for a better balance – a stopping of the drug company controlled system, and a return to a holistic philosophy. I will feature articles and links from some of these people.
I think that some of my future posts might revolve around things that I find interesting, so if you are here for the 'crafting / artistry' side of REPURPOSING you might get bored…..but if you have any sense that this is something you need to pay attention to, I invite you along for the ride!

Tattoo Removal Methods And The Price Range
Tattoo removal permits the people to get rid of ugly or perhaps offensive tattoo designs permanently. This will make you feel free and easier. It is an effective, quick and effective process. At present tattoo removal companies are providing a range of strategies to this technique by way of elevated benefits. Much like all the other cosmetic procedures, tattoo removal(eyebrow tattoo removals see https://tattooremovalexperts.co.uk/eyebrow-tattoo-removal.html) is not that much quicker. Studies are needed to choose the most efficient approach to tattoo removal. Based on the individual case, this may need less or perhaps no down time.
If you want to know the worth of the Tattooremovalexperts, you will have to go through many aspects, which can determine the value. That also includes Dimension, color, the area of the body image, selection of treatment, choice of aesthetic surgeon, health issue of the person, use of anesthesia, hypersensitivity, and also a total range of classes meant for removal.
Here are several variables which affect the tattoo removal price:
Dimensions of your Body image: When the body art is larger, then the charge is more. It's extremely true because if the body image is bigger, the task is a bit more for your doctor. The medical specialist can estimate just how much the body art costs by just considering its dimension.
Color or shade: Image with additional colors would be certainly costly than the tats which can be in only one or two shades. To remove different shades, specialists will use several lasers. Therefore it could cost far more.
Location: If the tattooed area is more fragile, the complete deletion approach must be completed with special care. As a result, it may increase the worth of the tattoo removal. The very least sensitive spots comprise of: shoulder blades, calves, buttocks, outer thighs, upper arms and fore arms. Vulnerable parts are usually: neck, spine, armpit, head, genitals, and ankles. The more vulnerable areas consist of ribs, genitals, feet, breast bone, and also hands; removal of body image over these regions may value better.
Design and style: The complexity of the style and design can modify the worth of the deletion method. If the design and style are simple, it may be removed from the price of $50 to $100 since the entire work and also period meant for a simple tattoo design will only be an hour or even less. So complex types cost excessive.
Operating specialist: Experienced tattoo removal physicians normally cost extra for their work. As well, they will produce a good quality of work(tattoo removal courses in london area).
The value additionally varies from one method to another plan; then it can be quite a good option to evaluate and obtain some quotes. The methods comprise:
Laser Removal:(Laser Hair Removal Chiswick) This is usually the most desired reduction practice, however concurrently, it can be the costliest one. The solution could cost from $200 to $850 per each course. Depending on the tattoo dimensions, color and also a difficulty, the number of classes will change.

"There's a mystery and rawness to Ike that hung on him like the dust of a criminal out on parole. People ponder all sorts of scenarios when watching Ike. They even hated him. Take the talented Salon columnist Cintra Wilson's review of an Ike Turner show from 1999 in which she goes one step further by erroneously calling Ike a 'purported musician.' 'Purported musician?' Calling Ike Turner a purported musician is like calling Henry Ford a purported car maker. Ike Turner was a pioneer, a legend and there's no questioning of his chops, right to the very end, no matter how many vicious beatings occurred in his lifetime."
There were a lot of things you could say about Ike Turner - not all of them positive, some of them downright repellent - but you couldn't deny that he was a great musician. For co-writing "Rocket '88" (the song that helped give birth to rock 'n' roll) alone he deserves to be honored. Sunset Gun's Kim Morgan has written an excellent and passionate tribute to someone who, however flawed, moved us greatly. I'm sure some will take issue with it, but there were many accomplishments of Ike Turner's that were well worth remembering, and as usual, Kim has done a tremendous job bringing them to light.

The Economic Collapse Blog
The Federal Reserve wants to know what you are saying about it. In fact, the Federal Reserve has announced plans to identify "key bloggers" and to monitor "billions of conversations" about the Fed on Facebook, Twitter, forums and blogs. This is yet another sign that the alternative media is having a dramatic impact. As first reported on Zero Hedge, the Federal Reserve Bank of New York has issued a "Request for Proposal" to suppliers who may be interested in participating in the development of a "Sentiment Analysis And Social Media Monitoring Solution". In other words, the Federal Reserve wants to develop a highly sophisticated system that will gather everything that you and I say about the Federal Reserve on the Internet and that will analyze what our feelings about the Fed are. Obviously, any "positive" feelings about the Fed would not be a problem. What they really want to do is to gather information on everyone that views the Federal Reserve negatively. It is unclear how they plan to use this information once they have it, but considering how many alternative media sources have been shut down lately, this is obviously a very troubling sign.

Recycle your Electronics Tomorrow
We tend to hold on to our trash for too long, and it always feels like we have a very good reason. For instance, we have an ancient computer hogging precious closet space while we try to figure out how to dispose of it without creating more toxic landfill.
And now we have an answer. SF's Computer Recycling Corporation has a drop-off day tomorrow, Saturday, August 19th, from 10am – 2pm in the Marina Green Parking Lot at Marina & Webster.
Charitable donation receipts will be given in exchange for your old electronic trash, which they will first try to resusitate, and if that's not possible, dispose of safely.
Not just computers (working and non-working) but cell phones and networking and office electronics, up to 10 items per person. Enough to free up quite a bit of space…

CD Reviews
The original and best compilation, although incomplete
cydrone | Franklin, WI United States | 04/30/2004
(5 out of 5 stars)
"I had to write something because the other review does not do this disc justice at all. This was the very first CD I ever bought (May 1986) and I still play it. It was one of the first compilations done specifically for CD (65 minutes was a lot of music in those days) and although I have another Costello collection that is more complete, I like this disc the best. All 19 songs are wonderful and the sequencing is better than in the other compilations I've seen. This is apparently out of print, but if you find a used copy, it's worth a few bucks for sure."
Superior to all other compilations for one reason
Rudolf Schmidt | San Diego | 05/12/2008
(5 out of 5 stars)
"This is the only best-of compilation (AFAIK) that includes "The Only Flame in Town", which evidently Elvis never liked but is in fact one of his best tunes. And it's a song that you want on a greatest hits comp because you sure don't want to buy the crappy album it originally appeared on (_Goodbye Cruel World_).
This CD's only shortcoming is the lack of "High Fidelity", from the _Get Happy!_ album. I would also have included "Less Than Zero" from the debut, but I can live without it. Of course to be complete, a best-of comp would have to include the entirety of the albums _This Year's Model_ and _Imperial Bedroom_, and most of _Armed Forces_ and _Trust_.
Later compilations are also weighted down by too much of his later work, which IMO is just not entertaining, so this the fact that this comp ends so early is actually another strength."

Real-space imaging of a nematic quantum liquid
This event is part of the Biophysics/Condensed Matter Seminar Series.
The wave functions of electronic states in solids typically respect the symmetries of the host material. However, interactions among electrons can give rise to a variety of exotic correlated phases characterized by broken symmetry. An intriguing example is the formation of electron fluids with wave functions that spontaneously break the symmetry of the underlying crystal lattice. These phases are quantum analogues of classical liquid crystals and have been studied in recent years across disparate platforms ranging from high-temperature superconductors to two-dimensional electron systems. In this talk, I will describe scanning tunneling microscope measurements that allow us to visualize such a quantum liquid in real space. We examine the quantum Hall states that arise at high magnetic field from anisotropic Fermi pockets on the surface of bismuth. Our measurements reveal that a combination of strain and exchange interactions lift the Landau level degeneracy and produce valley-polarized states. We image the resulting anisotropic wave functions and find that they have a different orientation for each broken-symmetry state, providing a direct spatial signature of a nematic electronic phase.

This essay on race in Legend of Earthsea is really amazing. Being white myself, I never ever thought about any of those things or how they might affect someone else. It's a real eye-opener.
It also makes the mini-series and anime of the books, where everyone is cast as white, really kind of embarassing.

Nice to be missed and a weekend in Brighton
Rather than drive home every weekend, I had a gorgeous long weekend in Brighton with a very good friend, visiting the open art houses which are part of the Brighton festival. For those of you who don't know, Brighton is a very artistic city and hundreds of artists open their houses up for the public to wander into every weekend in May and admire their artwork (and nose around the houses, fingering their dusty knick-knacks). I didn't buy anything, as most of it was very expensive but we had a lot of fun, admiring skill and sniggering at the people who are not so skilled but still think their artwork deserves £400 price tags.
Some people go to town decorating the front of their houses.
And some exhibits want to to kill you.
I have never really been to this city and it was good to be shown around by someone local and knowledgeable. We visited the lanes, which are full of interesting shops that sell everything you could never want. Anyone for some dolls of pure evil?
It was perfect weather and the Pavillion looked lovely in the sunshine, as did we, of course.
and then a quick trip down the pier.
We went to lots of coffee shops and had fun just wandering around the museum and an old Regency house (with some very dubious art installations films of fish swimming backwards) inexplicable to my mind, but good for a laugh. The house itself was a wonderful example, although in the middle of renovation.
For a city break, this was a charming place and so much nicer a city to visit than London. I recommend it very highly. It gave me a much needed boost in the middle of a difficult few weeks away.
And many thanks to Adrian for a lovely weekend and very good photos (as you can see, they are a cut above my usual photographic offerings).
Next time, more on what has been happening in the garden at home, some sourdough delights and lemon curd.

I was visiting the UK from Canada last week and went to London and Brighton. I love them both! Didn't have time to explore the festival, though :(ReplyDelete
Hi, It's good to see you back. As much as I like reading about your house and garden, I love to get a glimpse into your other life as well. All part of your rich tapestry. I must visit Brighton one day. They have a similar artists open house weekend at Saltaire near Bradford, try and get to see that if you are around.ReplyDelete
Lovely to have you back. Glad you had such a good time in my neck of the woods. Brighton is a queer sort of place. Everything is artsy fartsy during the summer, and the prices for items are high. Come to think of it, prices for pretty much everything is high here, and that includes property. As you said, a visit is good for a laugh. I tend to stay out of Brighton unless I have desperate need for something specific. The Lanes are an experience though. Glad you had time to see it.ReplyDelete
So happy to see you back, Dan!! I've just finished reading through all your blog...and have enjoyed it very much. We're on the same wavelength as far as growing veggies and living the frugal, simple life. Looking forward to hearing more of your life. Deb from West Virginia in USAReplyDelete

Students Compete, Gain Real-World Experience in Green Automotive Design Competition
SAN RAFAEL, Calif. — (BUSINESS WIRE) — March 16, 2010 — Autodesk, Inc. (NASDAQ: ADSK), a world leader in 2D and 3D design, engineering and entertainment software, announced that Sean Coleman, an industrial design student at the College of Design at North Carolina State University, is the winner of the Shell Eco-Marathon: Autodesk Real-World Challenge. The competition was launched to help provide real-world experience for students wishing to use their design skills to create energy-efficient cars.
The Shell Eco-Marathon events challenge students around the world to design, build and test vehicles that can travel further than traditional cars, while using less energy. A global contest, the Shell Eco-Marathon encourages innovation, reinforces conservation and fosters the development of technology for greater energy efficiency.
The Shell Eco-Marathon: Autodesk Real-World Challenge gives students the opportunity to expand their design skills while using the same Autodesk software they will use in their careers. Selected designs are also profiled on the Autodesk Education Community.
Shell Oil Company will build a full-size, functional model of Coleman's winning design for display at the Shell Eco-Marathon Americas event, March 26–28, in Houston, Texas. Autodesk's global partnership with the Shell Eco-Marathon includes programs in Europe and Asia. This year, about 400 student teams from over 40 nations will participate in the three events.
Among the many entries submitted through the Autodesk Education Community, the sleek design and eco-friendly features of Coleman's car made it stand out from the competition. Coleman, who is passionate about design entered the competition to challenge himself to design a car that is both modern and sustainable. With the support of his industrial design professor and advice from peers, he produced a model that reflects contemporary design, good taste and practicality.
"The quality of the entries we received was remarkable," said Joe Astroth, PhD, Autodesk chief education officer. "Seeing students pursue their passion for design through this competition just solidified Autodesk's involvement and support for the contest. Coleman's design is an inspiration to sustainable automotive design, and Autodesk is pleased to be a sponsor of this educational opportunity."
Coleman used Autodesk Inventor, Autodesk Showcase and Autodesk Alias software to turn his design from an idea into reality. "I built the frame to spec within Autodesk Inventor, and then used Alias to model the body directly over that frame," said Coleman. "With Autodesk software, I was able to work in full scale. The software allowed me to construct and control every aspect of my design, from the overall shape to the character lines that complement it."
During the upcoming Shell Eco-Marathon Americas event, participants will have the opportunity to view Coleman's designs and test-drive the car.
"This challenge enhanced my interest in automotive design," Coleman said. "Designing the car and winning the competition is going to be one of the more memorable experiences of my life."

Friday Legal Updates: Marriage Equality – Let's Talk About the Children
In the United States, we thrive on our individuality, our independence, our right to privacy, and our right to procreate. We even thrive on our state's individual rights as a general premise, even though under the full faith and credit clause of the U.S. Constitution, states are generally required to recognize and honor the public laws of other states.
And, that is where marriage equality comes in. While states have traditionally recognized marriages entered into legally in other states (even those that go against the marriage laws of that particular state), states by and large are not been will to do so in regards to same-sex marriage.
Now, we can go on for days on why marriage equality should or should not be permitted, including the issues surrounding Proposition 8 in California, but what is not being discussed are the children of these LGBT families. What about these children, you ask? First, let's cut out all the religious, political and other hot button issues and stand directly into the reality that so many face:
*What happens if one of my parents dies?
*What happens if my parents separate or divorce?
*What happens to me?
*Why can't both of my parents receive the same rights and responsibilities for us as so many other children have?
Well, for the children of LGBT couples, things are not so cut and dry – not that divorce is easy for any child, but why should these children have additional hurdles that are not faced by the children of heterosexual couples or unions? Why should they bear the burden of our stereotypes, our issues, our religious views, our hang ups? Why can't we make the discussion about advocating for the children?
So, let's get straight to the points as to why this issue is even important from a legal perspective:
* What about social security survivor benefits from my parent who has died but who is not legally considered my "parent?"
*What about my insurance benefits?
*What about my medical and education issues?
* What if my "non-recognized" parent is the stay-at-home parent and there is a medical emergency?
*Who can register me for school?
*What about my rights to my parent's estate when my "non-recognized" parent dies?
* What about straight forward acknowledgement under the law that these two people (whether gay or straight) are my parents?
Let's talk change, and let's talk about the children. The desire to have a family, including children, is not going to just go away for those of you who do not agree with marriage equality – period. So, with that, let's advocate for the children and make them realize how great America really is.

A great discussion took place today at prarthna.
Our daily prayer is the following:
Sathe Ramiye, Sathe Jamiye, Sathe Kariye Saara Kam.
We play together, we eat together, we do good work together.
Kayama Rahejo APANI Sathe,
God may you always be by OUR side
Gata, Gata Vasuta Shri Bhagvan.
God you are in every small particle in this great universe.
Ohm, Shanti, Shanti, Shanti.
Peace, Peace, Peace.
There are actually two ways the second line is said:
"God may you always be by OUR side"
"God may you always be by EVERYONE'S side"
Today after prayer, Krishna asked out loud, "Sir, why do we say "God may you always be by everyone's side" and everyone at school says "God may you always be by OUR side".
What a great question, I thought to myself. Jayeshbhai actually brought this change to our attention 3 months ago. We used to say 'our', but since he suggested the rightful change, over the past three months we changed it to 'everyone's'.
Going from me, my and ours to yours, ours and everyone's is a big shift in thinking and living. Moving from self-centered to others-centered; moving from a national anthem to a global anthem; from human beings to all matter, from one belief to all beliefs. To see God in everyone and everything is EKATVA, is Oneness.
The discussion didn't get so deep. It was enough just to explain that we should not just think of ourselves, but more importantly think of everyone, including strangers and people we don't know. That's just the right thing to do. The kids agreed J
Love All Serve All.

Weaving in ends as you knit: Tips from the Zigzag Tank
I've been traveling a lot this summer, and the project that's been easiest for me to stow in my bag and work on in distracted spurts is the Zigzag Tank from knit.wear Spring.
Simple mitered garter blocks are worked in three-color stripes. The tank is modular; subsequent blocks are picked up and worked down from the first four (top) ones.
I'm working with various stash yarns, all cottons and linens, and it's been a fun and fairly mindless project for airplanes, airports, and car rides this past month.
One decision I had to make early on was how to handle the yarn ends between stripes. At first, I carried the unused colors along the selvedge, but then I realized that, along the outer edges of the top blocks, those carried ends would show, since there is no edging added in finishing. I liked the clean look of the garter fabric and didn't want to add an edging to cover those carried yarns, so I had to do something different with them. I decided to break each color when I changed stripes, and to weave those ends in as I worked the row. This will save me time in finishing; I won't need to weave in all those ends with a tapestry needle. You can see the ends worked in about an inch a half from the selvedge on the wrong side:
How do you weave in ends as you work? Well, I carry both ends—the old color and the newly joined one—along the back of the work as for stranded colorwork, catching both colors behind each knit stitch for about an inch and a half. Since this is a sport weight yarn, it doesn't add much bulk. You may want to knot the ends together before working them in, to further secure the ends of the rows. You can also knot them again at the end of the float on the wrong side, then trim them. With all the stripes in this project, breaking the colors each time will use more yarn than simply carrying them up the side of the work, from row to row, so keep that in mind if you're tight on yardage.
I hope you can use this knitting technique in your work. I think you'll like it.
Stay tuned for my progress on the Zigzag Tank and happy summer knitting to you!

ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates (AP) Rory McIlroy made his first competitive hole-in-one as a professional as part of a brilliant back nine that propelled his pursuit of Martin Kaymer in the second round of the Abu Dhabi Championship on Friday.
The world No. 1 threw his hands in the air and high-fived playing partner Rickie Fowler after his 9-iron from 177 yards at the par-3 15th landed a yard from the hole, hopped right and trickled into the cup.
McIlroy's 6-under 66 put him in third on 11 under and two shots behind Kaymer, who followed up an opening-round 64 with a 67 to give himself a great chance of a fourth title at the National course - where he won in 2008, '10 and '11.
Belgium's Thomas Pieters (67) is second on 12 under.

What do people have, if anything, engraved on their iPods?
Mine: Here's to the crazy ones
i dont have anything engraved, but ive been considering taking it to a jeweler and putting that exact phrase on only w/ "..." w/out the quotes at the end. and when i get my next ipod it will say that. so i guess i stole your idea. sorry...
Nothing on mine.
My name. I was going to put my e-mail address too but thought better of it. I couldn't think of anything more imaginative but it is slightly unusual so....
I didn't put anything on my 4G, because I did not want to wait another two weeks to get it. Maybe if I had been patient I would have put something witty on it:
Wash your hands before you handle me heathen
I put my name in Katakana (a japanese alphabet), my email address and "Kyoto" in chinese characters (kanji).
Better to just put your fav sticker or decal on the back, so when you wanna sell it, you can simply rub it off.
I've got my name engraved on the back of my silver ipod mini. It's really nice, but a little smaller than I was expecting.

Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon
John Kenneth Muir is back! This time, the author of the acclaimed Horror Films of the 1970s turns his attention to 300 films from the 1980s. From horror franchises like Friday the 13th and Hellraiser to obscurities like The Children and The Boogens, Muir is our informative guide. Muir introduces the scope of the decade's horrors, and offers a history that draws parallels between current events and the nightmares unfolding on cinema screens. Each of the 300 films is discussed with detailed credits, a brief synopsis, a critical commentary, and where applicable, notes on the film's legacy beyond the 80s. Also included is the author's ranking of the 15 best horror films of the 80s.
This is an in depth reference work devoted to the movie trivia game Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon. It is far better and more complete than the terrible, short book by the games creators, which was mostly pictures and empty space on the page.
And caught a train. Damn real life getting in the way of this 31 days of horror thing. Luckily it was nothing like this tho'. Terror Train (1980). Dir: Roger Spottiswoode. Cast: Ben Johnson, Jamie Lee Curtis, Derek MacKinnon, DD Winters, Hart Bochner, Howard Busgang, Timothy Webber, Anthony Sherwood, Sandee Currie and David Copperfield. It's New Years Eve 1980 and the students of the Harold Shipman Medical School are enjoying one of those drunken and rowdy fraternity parties that seem to be a constant in this kinda movie. As ever, the frat leader 'Doc' Manley (Die Hard's Ellis himself, Bochner) has a plan to play an oh so funny jape on the class geek, the bowl haired and sweat stained Kenny Hampson (MacKinnon, best known for playing a drag queen in. Helene... The prank, for what it is, involves Alana luring Kenny into a darkened bedroom with the promise of a 'the sex' but as soon as he removes his clothes and jumps on the bed Doc will flick the lights on to reveal not Alana lying waiting for him but an... Is it just me that thinks that this wont end well. You too eh. Then you wont be surprised to find that poor old Kenny is slightly traumatized by this turn of events and ends up in a psychiatric hospital, dribbling on the pillows and swimming in his own piss. Anyway, jump forward three years and the same folk are about to celebrate their graduation by holding a fancy dress party aboard a train. A train of terror no doubt. All of Doc's gang are present, including token comedy Jew Ed (actor turned teevee exec' Busgang), token black guy Jackson (former Airwolf star and forest Sherwood), Alana's best friend (and token blonde) Mitchy (the very hot Currie) as well as... Obviously there are a few more students on board but frankly we're only interested in the fresh meat. Also along for the ride (well it can't be for the talent) are Carne (ex-President Johnson) the kindly train conductor and top magician Ken Tavalouris (Copperfield, the rat faced magic one not the bloke from Three of A Kind ), who's been hired at... Apart from the train crashing off the line under the weight of all the clichés obviously. Anyway, as you've probably guessed no sooner has the train started it's journey into the icy wilds than the students responsible for Kenny's incarceration at Shady Nook are murdered one by one with the killer donning the mask and costume of each... Kinda like a really mental Mr. Ben. Thinking about it tho' he can't be that mad seeing as the first person he kills is the uber-annoying Ed, who by this point I felt like pulling thru' the screen and beating him to death myself. Luckily by this point in the proceedings it appears that writer T. Y. Drake has realized how fucking banal and unoriginal the whole thing is and, in a move that makes him look even less confident in the stalk and slash aspect of the movie than the... Oh yes and endless scene's of the charisma free zone that is David Copperfield performing increasingly soul destroying sleight-of-hand tricks. Grim doesn't begin to describe the huge collared rodent-like ones frankly embarrassing attempts to woo Alana with a selection of floating flowers, mind reading bollocks and slightly pervy hand gestures. Which I ended up re-viewing about six times just to make sure I hadn't imagined them. Rumour has it that Copperfield is so mortified by his appearance in the movie that he's been known to buy up every copy he can find in order to keep his role in the thing a secret. Good job then that I'm here to remind him of it. Tho' saying that I'm willing to sell him my copy if the price is right. Back to the plot and poor Carne is finding dead bodies left, right and centre whilst Alana has just recalled that Kooky Kenny (when not being conned into fucking corpses obviously) loved performing magic tricks, ergo the.

TALLAHASSEE — If you are oxygen-dependent you may need to take additional steps to secure emergency oxygen tanks and equipment while recovering from Hurricane Irma, especially if power has not yet been restored to your residence. Oxygen-dependent residents should:
• Contact your oxygen supplier and request additional tanks. If you're unable to get the oxygen needed from your local office, and you are dealing with a national provider, call their other offices and request a delivery.
• If your oxygen supply company still cannot provide additional tanks, call the medical provider who wrote the order for the oxygen. This may be your primary care provider. Request a new order to be placed with another company that can provide emergency oxygen.
• If your home is still without power, contact your utility company to make them aware of your oxygen dependency, and they may be able to add your home to a medical priority list. Also, contact family and friends who have power and are willing to assist.
• Local special needs shelters remain open in some counties and may be able to assist. The shelter should not be your primary source for oxygen and is only a temporary solution. For information on local special needs shelters, visit http://www.floridadisaster.org/disability/specialneeds/default.aspx. Bring your own concentrator and a caregiver if you normally need assistance at home.
If you are critically low on oxygen tanks and supplies, go to the hospital or call 911.

Welcome to the U.S. Government Publishing Office's (GPO) Government Book Talk! Our goal is to raise the profile of some of the best publications from the Federal Government, past and present. We'll be reviewing new and popular publications, providing information about new publications in the offing, and talking about some out-of-print classics. The goal is to spotlight the amazing variety of Government publications and their impact on ourselves and our world – and have fun while doing it.
About the agency: GPO opened its doors over 150 years ago on March 4, 1861, and is part of the legislative branch of the federal government. GPO employees have been Keeping America Informed on the documents of our democracy, in both printed and electronic form. The agency produces the Congressional Record, Federal Register, the nation's passports, and other Federal Government documents. It also maintains the Federal Depository Library Program to ensure public libraries nationwide have access to Federal published information.

I'm a serious book person – my wife claims that I own several thousand books, but I'm sure that's an exaggeration. My interests lie mainly in the areas of history and biography – perfect for someone involved with Government books.
- GPOBookstore: My name is Michele Bartram, and I was new to GPO as the head of ecommerce and promotions for GPO's U.S. Government Online Bookstore.

As published at OpEd News and Unz Review, 10/7/17:
I'm back in Hanoi. Noi Bai Airport was sparkling after its recent upgrade, and I rode into town on a wide, well-landscaped freeway named after general Vo Nguyen Giap. On both sides were shops and restaurants.
"I don't recognize any of this, brother," I said to the taxi driver, a man in his mid 40's.
"When was the last time you were here, uncle?" North Vietnamese routinely call each other "bác," or "greater uncle."
"Ah! Hanoi is much different now." He laughed.
As the Hanoi skyline finally came into view, I blurted, "I hardly know I'm in Vietnam!" Every lit sign on the highrises was in English. We crossed the Nhật Tân Bridge, built with a loan from Japan and designed by a Japanese firm. My driver slowed down so I could admire its five towers, illuminated in shifting colors. A native Hanoian, he'd been driving for eight years, with his finances tolerable and improving. "There are still plenty of poor people," he reminded me, "especially in far off places."
"Do you have any relatives overseas?" I asked.
"I have an aunt in Holland. She had gone to Bulgaria to work in a factory."
"And she's doing OK?"
"She's doing fine. Every two years, she comes home for a visit."
We passed two preposterous pseudo-classical gates, crowned by galloping horses. Behind them were swanky houses for the nouveau riche. All the street names in this gated community, Ciputra, sound enticingly exotic, Main, Lake, Park, Central Park, Singapore, Pegasus, Atlas and Academy, etc. On the flight in, I had sat next to a man returning from Fiji, where his wife's posted to the Vietnamese embassy. He had three kids at American universities, in Minnesota, Ohio and New York State. "I've been to a bunch of countries, uncle. Each place is interesting for 8, 10 days, then I want to go home."
Leaving the freeway, a more familiar Hanoi, and Vietnam, came into view. A typical Vietnamese street is lined with shops and restaurants, with commerce often spilling onto the sidewalk, and until very recently, there were no Vietnamese neighborhoods that were strictly residential.
On my second day, I got up just before sunrise to wander around Vinh Phuc, my neighborhood. The restaurants were just opening up. Exercising, a man in a tank top walked backward past me. Sitting on a plastic stool across the street from a funeral home, a woman worked on a red, yellow, white and crimson wreath. I noticed a Japanese language school, a fishing gear shop and the Trang Bella hair salon. At a corner, a man lounged on his motorbike, waiting for his first customer. Unlike pedicabs, motorbike taxis haven't been banned. Though it is a wonderfully cheap way to get around, its slow pace clogs traffic, so the pedicab, a major icon of Vietnam, has been killed off everywhere except in a handful of tourist areas. The North Vietnamese Army pith helmet, worn by most men during my first visit to Hanoi in 1995, is also mostly gone.
I believe that the pedicab will not only make a comeback, but spread to other countries. It's not only cheap, but green, and takes very little to start up as a business. With just a few bucks and minimal training, you too can become a pedicab driver.
In 2001, one couldn't sit in a restaurant without being hounded, repeatedly, by lottery ticker sellers, wandering in off the street, but now, there are many fewer of them, and the beggars have nearly all disappeared.
Hà, a 55-year-old domestic servant, informed me, " There are more jobs now, so people don't have to do that. There were also too many imposters, beggars who would sell the charity rice, then eat comfortably in a restaurant. They ate better than normal people!"
With a rising middle class, there is a rapidly increasing demand for domestic servants, so many companies have sprung up to provide this service. You pay $53 for up to three referrals. Hà, "A servant makes $176 to $198 a month, but if you can speak some English, it's double! You work 28 days a month, and get ten days off at Tet, at which time most Vietnamese employers will give you a bonus, plus bus fares to your home village."
Gone are the days when an employer can scream at a domestic servant, hit her or lock her inside all week long. When not busy, Hà lounges on a leather couch to watch a Chinese, Korean, Indian or Vietnamese drama. A remake of an Israeli film, about a young man who found out his dad was actually a mafia boss, proved particularly popular.
Men at the economic bottom can work in factories or use their motorbikes as taxis. Hà's son is a long distance truck driver who earns $440 a month. His wife farms a bit and does odd jobs. They have four kids. Hà's two daughters are divorced.
"If you want work, you can find work. Of course, there are these drug addicts who rob and steal, but most of them die off by the time they're 30-something."
Since you don't need to pay for rent and food as a live-in domestic servant, you can actually save from your $200 salary. Hà, "Housing in Hanoi has become very expensive. To get just a small room, with a shared bathroom, you must pay $66 a month." At the other end of the spectrum, people are paying $1,320 a month to send their kid to an English-language elementary school. As in the USA, the wealth gap here is staggering.
Since they're exposed to the intimate lives of both the rich and poor, domestic servants are the best source of information. Leery of this dirt dishing abilities, some wealthy Vietnamese are starting to hire Filipina servants, I kid you not, since they can't gossip to the neighbors.
Hungry, I stopped into an eatery for a plate of bánh cuốn, a sort of ravioli, then a bowl of bún chả, rice vermicelli with pork. The food culture of Northern Vietnam suffered so terribly during those decades of hard-core Communism, it still hasn't quite recovered. In Saigon, you can't eat badly, no matter how humble the venue, but in Hanoi, a seasoned eater will often be disappointed. My bánh cuốn and bún chả, two Hanoi specialties, were fine, however, and my bill came to all of $1.98. I found myself sharing a table with several strangers, with one man not even bothering to finish most of his meat, a sure sign that those harsh, near starvation years are long gone.
Since the food joint was near the lung hospital, a white haired patient ambled over in his blue and white hospital pyjamas, complete with a red cross over his heart. This sort of casualness is typical of Vietnam. On another day, I walked into a restaurant to find no one present, for the proprietor was taking her siesta in a little mezzanine. After coming down to make me an awful bowl of chicken phở, she went back to sleep, and I paid her by handing money between two balustrades on the mezzanine's balcony. Though a crack in the strung up blanket, she reached out a hand, with her eyes still closed, I'm sure.
Like the Chinese, Japanese and Koreans, Vietnamese consider their compatriots as not just belonging to the same race, but family, and in the most literal sense, too, for they call other Vietnamese, "đồng bào" ["same womb"], which is derived from the Chinese, 同胞. This notion is obviously more myth than science, for the Vietnamese nation has absorbed plenty of foreign blood through the millennia, via the usual channels of conquest and immigration. Without the bonding concept of đồng bào, however, Vietnam would have disappeared eons ago.
Vietnamese citizenship, then, is much more than a legality, but established through the age-old recognition that people who appear similar and, even more importantly, speak the same language naturally belong together. Often, they must also fight together to resist being swallowed up or destroyed by another race. Race consciousness is at the heart of racial survival.
Infused with this knowledge, Vietnamese have never taken any internationalist ideology seriously, especially Communism, a nightmare dreamt up by rootless minds. Protective of family and race, of all those who came from the same womb, they've fought against the Chinese, Mongolians, French, Americans and even against each other, because, well, their foes were deemed as fraudulent Vietnamese. During the Vietnam War, no common North or South Vietnamese soldiers was a traitor, however, because each believed he was fighting for Vietnam.
Though you'll find images of the hammer and sickle, Marx, Lenin and, of course, Ho Chi Minh throughout this country, there is nothing Communist or internationalist about Vietnam. As my Saigon-based American friend, Alec, points out, "The US is more Socialist! At least the public schools there are free. Here, the government does nothing for the people!" What sustain Vietnamese, then, are family and friends, and, in time of war, a fierce recognition that their own survival is bound up with race.
Finishing this piece, I hear funeral music rising from the street, so I go onto the balcony to see two men, wearing white, walking backward in front of their mother's hearse. In the light rain, three young musicians play the rice drum, oboe and the two-stringed đàn cò. Repeatedly assaulted by alien insanities, most Vietnamese haven't forgotten what's behind, under or inside them.

I don't understand. There are no public schools in Vietnam? And why is everyone walking backwards? And which reminds me, after showing all the great ways in which Vietnam has benefited from globalization, the Hanoi skyline and flourishing entrepreneurship etc.(indeed, I believe that among emerging economies few have done as well) didn't you find your sudden shift to the virtuous inoculating effect of Vietnamese ethnocentrism toward the end a bit jarring? p.s. the food looks super yummy

But this phenomena is also taking place in the United States, in the age of Betty DeVos as we move toward the privatization of virtually everything. I played multiple sports in high school, and which as a child from a highly dysfunctional home was not really a problem. But if I were a high school student today, how could I do it? Hey dad, I need money to pay for my pads (football) or cleats (baseball), he would have laughed in my face! Go get a job and pay for your own damn cleats. Why, as a fast-growing youngster me and my brothers went everyday to school in "floods," that's pants that barely reach the top of your ankles, and we were pretty much the joke of the community. But at least we had public school sports as some sort of a release valve! And which I loved because, as a victim of childhood abuse, I could exact violence/revenge within a socially acceptable setting, the playing field .. so America is a socialist nation? Well, maybe less now than before.

New TV spot and poster are revealed for Stallone's Bullet to the Head
After starring together in THE EXPENDABLES 2 this past August, these first months of the 2013 see action icons Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone each headlining their own throwback-ish flick - Schwarzenegger of course has THE LAST STAND (releasing January 18th), while Stallone has Walter Hill's BULLET TO THE HEAD with Jason Momoa, Adewale Akinnuoye-Agbaje, Christian Slater, Sung Kang, and Sarah Shah.
Not quite the likes of Schwarzenegger's Peter Stormare, Eduardo Noriega, Forest Whitaker, Jaimie Alexander, and Genesis Rodriguez, but they'll do just fine. BULLET TO THE HEAD is its own kind of project well removed from Schwarzenegger's, and looks to be a solid enough tale of a cop gone off the beaten path to stop the sort of violence that won't listen to reason. Whether the rest of the movie lives up to the tone established by the recent trailer and this TV spot remains to be seen, and though my hopes are far from high I'm certainly happy to be surprised.
We'll know soon enough though - BULLET TO THE HEAD releases February 1st.
Are you looking forward to Stallone's latest solo action story? And if not, why?
|Extra Tidbit:
|Walter Hill's THE WARRIORS still completely holds up. Awesome awesome flick.

First I decided that I wasn't going to mess with acid dyes on silk anymore because I was having such problems. But I like using acid dyes more than fiber reactive dyes, and I'm getting excellent results on wool, so I thought I'd try one more time.
I'm getting good color depth, finally, (even in a bad photo) with the addition of way more citric acid than anyone would expect, plus some sodium hexametaphosphate (a water softener). I live in central Pennsylvania; the stuff that comes out of my tap has more in common with liquid limestone than it does distilled water.
What you can't see in the photos is that those still aren't rinsing clear in cold water. I know you can't get a clear hot water rinse with certain acid dyes, especially on silk, but everything has to rinse clear in cold water or I can't sell it. And that's after many rinses.
I got a very good strike – the fiber took up just about all of the dye, leaving a nearly-clear dyebath. But as soon as I put the yarn in a cool rinse, it lost a lot of the dye that had apparently bonded. The rinse water was far darker than the dyebath! I'm not using water softener in the rinse – that's the next thing to try. I'd like this to work without major efforts on my part.
I know it's not the silk itself. It takes fiber reactive dye readily, so it isn't gummy, or starched, or anything like that.
My dyeing methods work just fine on wool, even without the water softener (and with a hot rinse).
I think it must be the water, and silk must be more sensitive to hard water than wool. I have to make stock solutions with distilled water or all kinds of nasty things happen (learned the hard way. Cherry red congeals, while sun yellow precipitates in strings. Ick!). But I can't practically use distilled water for everything including rinses. Cross your fingers for me that water softener in the rinse water helps, and if you have any suggestions please leave me a comment.
Having gotten hooked on spinning the silk cap, I also threw a couple more in the oven with the last of a couple of stock bottles splashed on.
These are for me, but they're fun to dye so I might do up a few for sale.

Louise Bourgeois
I am sitting here eating leftover Coconut cake from the Summer release party yesterday. It was a wonderful day with wonderful people, I think I will have to plan on making a tradition out of it:)
This morning I woke up to an award from the blog with the lovely name Tiptoe Butterfly, thank you Erika, you made me smile all morning through my tired haze.
Today I would like to take a moment to linger on the fantastic Artist Louise Bourgeois who passed away yesterday in Manhattan. There is no secret about the effect she has had on history especially for Women. She is one of few Women who managed to break through in a very male dominated Art World. With the strength of her own fear and vulnerability she kept surprising with strong experimental and individualistic, mostly sculptural pieces. Her sexually explicit work should be an inspiration to all of us to go out and dare, because what is more daring than her work?
Here are some pictures to remind us all of the petite woman, with the large imprint!
