You may remember a certain post about Biscoff No-Bake Energy Balls... well I am telling you... if you don't go make a version of these something bad is going to happen to you.
Alright, I'm not a mind reader, and I'm not someone who foretells the future (what are those even called???) So I cant reaaaaaaally tell you something bad will happen to you.
I'm just sayin. You better keep an eye out behind you. If you're not careful, you might get pelted in the back by some of these by me.
Ok, I wont really do that. But mostly because I want to eat them all. And I know you will want to too! So you really need to go make these!
Like now. So they're ready for brekkie tomorrow.
They are so inCREDIBLY easy to make! One bowl, one spoon, two measuring cups (or none if you're lazy like me {sometimes} when it comes to measuring), two hands to roll, and BAM! Done :)
They are healthy.
They don't taste like they are healthy.
But they are healthy.
They have peanut butter (yum!)
They have honey (yum!)
They have chocolate chips (DOUBLE yum!!)
And they have all these other healthy ingredients for you, like sunflower seeds, and flax seed, and...
I used raw pumpkin seeds, roasted but unsalted sunflower seeds, and raw flax seed that I ground up myself. But you can buy pre-ground flax seed at the store, and you can also use wheat germ instead of the flax seed.
This recipe is only slightly adapted from Ali's recipe of No-Bake Energy Bites, who slightly adapted hers from Smashed Peas and Carrots, but I couldn't help but wonder what it would taste like to have some different seeds in there. Also dying to try a few new flavors, so you know those ones will be showing up on here too. Keep checking on back here to see!
I know! Even without the Biscoff, these energy balls are the bomb!
Sorry about the 90's slang. Something came over me and I couldn't control it.
But I think I'm back now.
I'm going to stop talking before I start saying things like "off the heasy" and "yo so phat".
NOTE: on the Biscoff Energy Balls, I stated that I used quick oats, and I thought old fashioned would be better. I used old fashioned oats in this recipe, and it was much better! Try using those :)
makes 30 1" balls
- 1 cup old fashioned oats
- 1/2 cup ground flax seed
- 1/2 cup peanut butter (I used crunchy, and loved it, but feel free to use smooth instead)
- 1/3 cup honey
- 1-2 tsp vanilla, to preference
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (I used minis)
- 1/4 cup sunflower seeds
- 1/8 cup raw pumpkin seeds
- Combine all ingredients into one bowl and mix with spoon until fully combined.
- Place in refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm a little.
- Using hands, roll into 1" balls.
- Place back in refrigerator in an airtight container until ready to eat. Will last at least a week :)
Original recipe from Smashed Peas and Carrots

MOCA nabs exam depot workers on corruption rap
Corey Robinson, Staff Reporter
AT LEAST two employees from local motor vehicle depots have been taken into custody by the Major Organised Crime and Anti-corruption Agency (MOCA), as the police continue their investigation into a widespread corruption racket at examination facilities across the island.
The Gleaner has learned the aliases of the two men who are allegedly employed to the Spanish Town and Swallowfield examination depots in St Catherine and St Andrew, respectfully, but has chosen not to release their names as formal charges have not yet been brought against them by the police.
"They were taken in because they are involved in corruption within the motor vehicle examination depot," a Gleaner source said yesterday. "Information is that the police are now on their way to arrest two more people (in a rural parish)."
Charges not clear
According to the source, the men's flashy and exuberant lifestyles caught the attention of MOCA, which commenced an investigation into their deeds. It was not clear what charges were to be laid against them yesterday as the police attempted to keep information regarding their arrests hushed.
Ludlow Powell, director of the Island Traffic Authority, the agency with responsibility for the island's examination depots, said yesterday afternoon he was not aware of any of his employees being arrested by the police.
"I am not aware of that. I am hearing this for the first time; this is news to me," Powell told The Gleaner.
However, when asked about measures to deal with corruption at the depots, Powell said: "There is a development going on which I suspect might answer your question within the next 48 hours or so."
He added: "But I will leave it for MOCA to come out and speak about it. After they have done that, then I will speak.
"I can tell you that it has more to do with the other agencies than it has to do with the Island Traffic Authority," said Powell, identifying Tax Administration Jamaica (TAJ), as one of the entities with interest in the probe.
Inspector Dahlia Garrick, MOCA communication officer, when contacted yesterday afternoon, said: "There is nothing I can tell you at this point."
Meris Haughton, director of communications at the TAJ, said she was not aware of the arrests of the two instructors, but noted that the TAJ has been working with MOCA representatives since early this year.
"Normally, for something like this, we will direct it to the Revenue Protection Division (RPD). I know that the RPD has been working with MOCA since earlier this year, some persons were arrested and the investigation is ongoing. But I don't know of any recent arrests," she said.
Earlier this year, MOCA arrested at least four persons in connection with their probe of irregularities surrounding the granting of new and upgraded drivers' licences. At least one motor vehicle examiner was arrested in those earlier operations.

The U.S. monthly international trade deficit increased in December 2014 according to the U.S. Bureau of Economic Analysis and the U.S. Census Bureau. The deficit increased from $39.8 billion in November (revised) to $46.6 billion in December, as exports decreased and imports increased. The previously published November deficit was $39.0 billion. The goods deficit increased $6.9 billion from November to $66.0 billion in December. The services surplus increased $0.1 billion from November to $19.5 billion in December.
Exports of goods and services decreased $1.5 billion in December to $194.9 billion, reflecting a decrease in exports of goods. Exports of services increased.
- The decrease in exports of goods was more than accounted for by a decrease in industrial supplies and materials. An increase in capital goods was partly offsetting.
- The increase in exports of services reflected increases in transport, which includes freight and port services and passenger fares, in financial services, and in travel (for all purposes including education).
Imports of goods and services increased $5.3 billion in December to $241.4 billion, mostly reflecting an increase in imports of goods. Imports of services also increased.
- The increase in imports of goods mostly reflected increases in industrial supplies and materials and in automotive vehicles, parts, and engines.
- The increase in imports of services mostly reflected increases in transport and in travel (for all purposes including education).
Goods by geographic area (seasonally adjusted, Census basis)
- The goods deficit with Canada increased from $1.6 billion in November (revised) to $3.3 billion in December. Exports decreased $0.8 billion to $25.8 billion and imports increased $0.9 billion to $29.0 billion.
- The goods surplus with South and Central America decreased from $4.3 billion in November to $2.6 billion in December. Exports decreased $0.7 billion $14.8 billion and imports increased $1.0 billion to $12.2 billion.
- The goods deficit with Germany decreased from $6.3 billion in November to $5.6 billion in December. Exports increased $0.1 billion to $3.9 billion and imports decreased $0.6 billion to $9.6 billion.

Occupation Harshness
Belies Dead
By Stephen Lendman
So-called peace talks continue. They represent the greatest hoax in modern times. Israel deplores peace. So does Washington.
Palestine's represented by longtime Israeli collaborators. Peace in our time won't happen. Pretending otherwise is willful deception. Occupation harshness shows what Palestinians face.
Many examples explain. Thousands of political prisoners languish in Israel's gulag. It's one of the world's worst. Torture is official policy. So is extreme harshness overall.
Mazen Natsheh is one of many victims. He's been wrongfully imprisoned multiple times. On September 10, 1994, his ordeal began. He was administratively detained uncharged.
On June 8, 1995, he was released. On October 1997, he was rearrested. He was administratively detained uncharged for 10 months. On August 8, 1998, he was released.
On April 28, 1999, he was arrested again. He was wrongfully held uncharged until December 23, 1999.
On August 18, 2002, he was arrested for the fourth time. He was wrongfully charged with smuggling a cell phone into prison for another detainee. He was sentenced to one year imprisonment.
On March 9, 2004, a fifth arrest occurred. After nine months in prison uncharged, he was released on December 23, 2004.
On September 28, he endured a sixth arrest. He spent four years in prison uncharged. On June 8, 2009, he was released.
On October 7, 2009, he was arrested for the seventh time. He remained so until March 3, 2013.
On August 26, 2013, he endured an eighth arrest. He remains administratively detained uncharged.
He suffered 19 years of lawless harassment, intimidation, arrests, rearrests, and brutalizing gulag harshness. His crime was wanting to live free on his own land in his own county. He wanted to pray freely to the God of his choice.
He's married with three children. They're growing up without him. His wife must make do on her own.
Natsheh is Administrative Secretary for a charity supporting people with disabilities. He hold an Al-Quds University Islamic law bachelor's degree.
Since 2002, he's been studying on and off for his master's degree. He's working for one in Educational Administration. Repeated arrests and detention prevented him from completing his studies earlier. He manages best he can. He lacks three credits to graduate.
Since his first arrest, he represented himself with legal counsel Mahmoud Jabarin. December 21, 2010 was his last court hearing. His Israeli Court of Appeal petition was denied.
So-called "secret evidence" was used against him. Counsel is denied access to whatever it is. None whatever exists. Natsheh committed no crimes.
"The judge and the prosecutor claimed that a new 'secret file' is the reason for the refusal of my appeal," he said.
"How can there be any new 'secret evidence' when I was imprisoned for most of the time this 'secret file' refers to? It's "created just to keep me in prison."
He languishes there wrongfully. It's for acting responsibly. Rogue states operate that way. Israel's one of the worst.
Health issues complicate Natsheh's detention. Since 1990, he's suffered from colitis. It's a chronic large intestine inflammation. At times it's acute.
Symptoms include abdominal pain, loss of appetite, fatigue, diarrhea, cramping, urgency and bloating. They cause abdominal tenderness, weight loss, bowel abnormalities, fever, bleeding, and distention.
Natsheh requires proper treatment. He needs regular checkups. Lack of proper medical care makes things worse. It causes severe discomfort, diarrhea and bleeding. At times, anemia and dehydration follow.
Colitis patients require special diets. They need large amounts of fluids and fruit. Throughout years of imprisonment, Natsheh's been systematically denied. He's been grossly mistreated.
Prison authorities lie. They claim he's healthy. He's entitled only to painkillers, they say.
His wife, Fatima, hold a bachelor's degree in medicine. She completed higher eduction work during years of her husband's detention.
She's a Hebron Gynacological Hospital general practice physician. From 1994 until last year, she was permitted one visit annually to see her husband. Since 2010, visitations were denied for "security reasons."
Families suffer horrifically when their loved ones are imprisoned. Natsheh's children were born while he was detained. They're growing up without him. They're rarely permitted to see him.
Fatima calls the burden of raising children, completing studies and working full time overwhelming. Doing it without her husband is devastating, she says.
"When the release date is deliberately not announced by the prison authorities, it gives us hope that his detention won't be renewed, and yet in the early hours of the day he is to be released he is usually given a renewed detention order," she said.
"Nevertheless, I prepare the boys for his possible arrival by dressing them in new clothes and preparing them to see their father, but unfortunately I know what the news will be."
"The children often stay awake late, until they hear the full details of whether he has been released or not."
"They cant wait to see him, and it's very hard for me to hide the details of (his) detention from them."
"At the same time, I don't want to give them false hope, but I also do not want for them to get accustomed to the fact that their father may never leave the prison."
Virtually all Palestinian prisoners are behind bars for political reasons. International law permits resisting for freedom. Israel calls doing so terrorism.
Administrative detentions uncharged are unconscionable. Five Israeli authorities decide:
the Israeli Security Agency (ISA);
military commander;
military's prosecutor's office; and
military judges who adjudicate cases.
Brutalizing interrogations and torture precede their decisions. Military commanders decide whether to detain and for how long.
Each order permits three or six months. They can be renewed indefinitely. They can keep Palestinians detained as long as Israel wants them incarcerated.
Innocence is no defense. Nor is respect for international law. Prolonged uncharged arbitrary detention constitutes a serious breach.
Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states:
1. "Everyone has the right to liberty and security of person. No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest or detention. No one shall be deprived of his liberty except on such grounds and in accordance with such procedures as are established by law.
2. Anyone who is arrested shall be informed, at the time of arrest, of the reasons for his arrest and shall be promptly informed of any charges against him.
4. Anyone who is deprived of his liberty by arrest or detention shall be entitled to take proceedings before a court, in order that that court may decide without delay on the lawfulness of his detention and order his release if the detention is not lawful."
Temporarily infringing the law is permitted "in time of public emergency which threatens the life of the nation." Israel abuses the consistently. It does so in violation of Fourth Geneva's Article 78, stating:
"If the Occupying Power considers it necessary, for imperative reasons of security, to take measures concerning protected persons, it may, at the most, subject them to assigned residence or to internment."
"Decisions regarding such assigned residence or internment shall be made according to a regular procedure to be prescribed by the Occupying Power in accordance with the provisions of the present Convention. This procedure shall include the right of appeal (decided on) with the least possible delay. (If it's upheld), it shall be subject to periodical review...."
Administrative detention may never substitute for customary criminal proceedings. It's only permitted as a temporary measure. It's to prevent lawless acts.
Transferring protected persons to occupying power territory is illegal. For Israel, it's policy.
A Final Comment
Israeli military orders deny Palestinians virtually all rights. Occupation harshness victimizes them.
They're prisoners on their own land in their own country. Free movement is denied. Violating unconscionable rules risks prison.
Addameer advocates for human rights. It supports and defends Palestinian prisoners.
Israel prohibits its co-founder/chairman Abdullalif Ghaith from traveling abroad. He can't enter the West Bank.
Israel wants him silenced. It wrongfully claims he threatens national security.
Israel repeats the canard often. Doing so doesn't wash. Evidence is absent because there is none. His travel ban was renewed five times.
His newest expires on March 15, 2014. It states it's necessary for order and security. It says West Bank entry permits will be cancelled.
Israel targets human rights champions ruthlessly. Ghaith's been repeatedly harassed. He was arrested and detained administratively without charge or trial three times. On each occasion, he spent six months in prison.
He's a marked man. It's for supporting Palestinian rights. His treatment is further evidence of occupation harshness.
In October 2012, Addameer's researcher, Ayman Nasser, was violently arrested and detained.
He was outrageously charged with supporting Palestinian prisoners and calling for their freedom.
He courageously said he'll continue "support(ing) prisoner issues even if the cost is (his) freedom."
In December 2012, Israeli forces stormed Addameer's offices. They seized four laptops, a desktop, one hard disk, a video camera, legal files, photos, and other materials.
The office was ransacked and destroyed. Files and other materials were trashed and scattered. At the time, Addameer wasn't sure about other property possibly confiscated or destroyed.
Israel trashed the offices of the other NGOs raided the same way. Numerous Palestinian organizations are treated this way.
So-called peace talks address none of these issues. Failure to do so exposes the sham process. It's a convenient illusion. Palestinian liberation remains a distant dream. Maybe some day. Not now.

Born This Way? Gaga Goes Back to Brunette
Lady Gaga never quite did go the way of the trends. While stars like Miley Cyrus, Demi Lovato and others lighten and crop their strands, Gaga decided to get back to her darker, brunette roots.
"Mother Monster" tweeted as she transformed her signature platinum blonde hair into, what she calls, a new "Louis Vuitton brown," a nearly copper shade of light brown. Photos from the big change shepherded by her stylist of several years, Frederic Aspiras, were also posted to her social networking site (littlemonsters.com), and the fan love has pouring in ever since.
But Golden Gaga isn't all gone—the pop icon left a streak of her old blonde just above her left ear (which she decided to do away with just a few hours later).
Are we seeing a new trend for fall on the way? Gaga then tweeted a series of tips on how to get the color for fans who had been asking for info about the color process.
THIS OR THAT: What do you think of Gaga's big color change? Team Blonde or Team Brunette? Weigh in on MODERN's Facebook page.

From the Fearsome Piranga to the Migty Anaconda.
Notorious for their sharp teeth and voracious appetites, piranhas inhabit several of the major river basins in South America. These omnivorous fish are known for their taste for meat, although attacks on human beings are quite rare, despite breathless accounts from early explorers.
In a historic visit to Brazil, Theodore Roosevelt famously saw a group of piranhas shredding pieces of a cow carcass in seconds. His dramatic account would color popular imagination for years, even though it was based on a manipulated spectacle in which fishermen blocked off a group of the fish and starved them beforehand.
Electric Eel
Electra the electric eel (Electrophorus electricus) demonstrates her shocking power at Ford Motor Company's "Cycle of Production" exhibit at the 1939 New York World's Fair. Despite their name, electric eels are actually a type of knifefish and are more closely related to catfish than they are to true eels. These unusual fish inhabit waterways in the Amazon and Orinoco basins of South America, where they hunt prey and defend themselves by producing powerful bursts of electricity.
Electric eels gulp air from the surface in order to breathe. Thanks to specialized internal organs, they can produce pulses of electricity greater than 500 volts, with a current greater than one amp. That's enough to kill an adult human being.
Goliath Bird-Eater Spider
The second largest spider in the world, the goliath bird-eater (Theraphosa blondi), is related to the tarantula. It received its fearsome name after Victorian explorers witnessed one feasting on a hummingbird.
The big spiders inhabit marshy land in the rain forests of nothern South America, where they can grow to a leg span of up to 12 inches (30 cm) and can weigh more than 6 ounces (170 grams). As with many other spiders, females may eat the males after mating. Partially as a result, males have a lifespan of 3 to 6 years, while females have a lifespan of 15 to 25 years.
Tiger Fish
Widely distributed across much of Africa, tiger fish are fierce predators with large, razor-sharp teeth. They often hunt in packs and occasionally eat large animals. Attacks on human beings are rare but not unheard of.
The two largest species are the goliath tiger fish (Hydrocynus goliath) and the Hydrocynus vittatus, which is commonly called the tiger fish. Both are prized as game fish. The goliath tiger fish, which can reach sizes up to 110 pounds (50 kg), is found in the Congo River and Lake Tanganyika. The tiger fish can weigh up to 33 pounds (15 kg) and is found in the Zambezi River system.
Nile Crocodile
A year-old Nile crocodile attempts to snap up a frog in the St. Lucia Estuary in South Africa (from the National Geographic book Visions of Earth). Also known as the common crocodile, these large reptiles are distributed across much of Africa, and they have earned their reputation as among the most ferocious, deadly animals on the planet.
Male crocs typically measure from 11.5 to 16 feet long (3.5 to 5 meters), but they have been known to exceed 18 feet (5.5 meters) in length. Individual crocodiles attack anything the same size or smaller than them. They are occasionally known to hunt in packs, in which they can take down animals as large as hippos and rhinos. Nile crocodiles occasionaly prey on human beings, with estimates ranging from several hundred to several thousand deaths a year.
Snakeheads are often feared in the West, where populations of the aggressive fish have occasionally taken root as invasive species. After a fisherman found a Northern snakehead (Channa argus) in a pond in Maryland, it caused a media sensation. Biologists warned that the large freshwater fish could readily become established in North America, where it could wreak havoc on native ecosystems.
The voracious top-level predators can reach a length of three feet (one meter). They prey on invertebrates, frogs, and smaller fish, though they are known to attack anything moving when they are breeding.
Mata Mata
A mata mata (Chelus fimbriatus) is a freshwater turtle that inhabits the Amazon and Orinoco basins in South America. The bizarre turtles are entirely aquatic, although they prefer shallow, stagnant water, where they can easily reach their head out of water to breathe.
The mata mata can grow quite large, up to 33 pounds (15 kilograms). They feed on invertebrates and fish and aren't dangerous to people, despite their appearance.
Giant Catfish
Divers work with a model European catfish in the Great Lake at Ostersund in Sweden. Large catfish live in many rivers throughout the world, where they are important scavengers.
The largest on record is the Mekong giant catfish, which has reached recorded sizes up to 10.5 feet (3.2 meters) and 660 pounds (300 kilograms). Once distributed across several countries in Southeast Asia, the Mekong giant catfish is now critically endangered, thanks to habitat disruption. Not much is known about the world's biggest freshwater fish, although conservation efforts are underway.
Big catfish are rarely considered dangerous to people. The Mekong species can live to be more than 60 years old.
Diving Bell Spider
The diving bell spider (Argyroneta aquatica) is the only known spider in the world that lives entirely underwater. Like other arachnids, it must breathe air, but it provides its own supply by forming a bubble, which it holds by hairs on its legs and abdomen. The spiders must occasionally return to the surface to replenish their air supply, although some gas exchange happens across the surface of their bubbles, so they don't have to come up very often.
The diving bell spider is found in northern and central Europe and parts of northern Asia. Unusual for spiders, the males are bigger than the females, perhaps because the males are more active hunters.
Animal handlers hold a 19-foot anaconda at the Zoological Gardens. Among the world's largest snakes, anacondas live in rivers and wetlands of South America. The word anaconda is thought to come from the Tamil word anaikolra, which means elephant killer, alluding to the reptile's fearsome reputation.
Anacondas feed on fish, birds, reptiles, and small mammals, though they have been known to take the occasional domestic animal. The big snakes can be dangerous to people, though reports of deliberate predation are very rare.
Giant Freshwater Stingray
As National Geographic previously reported, freshwater stingrays are known to inhabit rivers in Southeast Asia and northern Australia, where they can reach enormous proportions, measuring up to 16.5 feet (5 meters) long and up to 1,320 pounds (600 kilograms). However, very little is known about these creatures, including how many are left, and if they ever enter saltwater.
Freshwater stingrays are hard to see, because they often bury themselves in river sediments. They hunt for clams and crabs by detecting their electric impulses. There are reports of the big animals overturning boats, though they rarely attack people.
Vampire Fish
Fanged vampire fish, or payara (Hydrolycus scomberoides), are offered at a market in Pevas, Peru, on the Amazon River. This fearsome, little-known fish is prized for its meat in the Amazon and Orinoco basins.
Vampire fish prey primarily on smaller fish, especially piranhas, which they impale with their long, sharp fangs. The intimidating teeth can grow up to six inches long.
Perhaps the most feared freshwater species of all, candiru are parasitic catfish in the family Trichomycteridae. These small, narrow fish normally feed on the gills of larger fish in the Amazon. However, over the past few centuries there have been reports of these creatures lodging in the urethras of men and women.
Some native peoples along the Amazon have described means of preventing such a disturbing infection, which is said to be hard to remedy, even with surgery. Protection measures are said to include tough clothing, tying off extremities with ligatures, and avoiding urination around rivers. It was long believed that urine attracted the candiru, although a recent study showed that the animals displayed no interest in it.

The contemporary eye often has a hard time absorbing the slow process and deliberate quality of textiles. Attuned to mass production, we now turn to specialized craftsmen for artisanal and handmade products instead of learning from tradition. We have lost the ubiquitousness of legacy, of skills passed through generations.
Two exhibitions currently at the Textile Museum offer a glimpse of traditions that persist, from the works of a 500-year-old silk workshop in Japan to the creations of a group of contemporary artists looking to the museum's backrooms to build a new heritage.
Consider "Woven Treasures of Japan's Tawaraya Workshop," curated by Lee Talbot. It's an exercise in adjusting that eye so acclimated to machine-made goods. It's easy, walking into this exhibition, to interpret the bolts of fabric as commercially produced. The fine details and elaborate patterning seem too precise and consistent to be otherwise. Yet each of the 37 works was woven in the Tawaraya Workshop in Kyoto, which has been producing silk for more than 500 years at the hands of 18 generations of the same family.
The workshop's claim to fame is its connection to the Japanese Imperial Household, for whom it makes yusoku orimono — the silks used in coronations, weddings and other aristocratic ceremonies. Although the imperial family rarely exhibits its garments, the workshop always creates extra bolts of the fabrics, which now fill its archives.
In the exhibition, there are a few of the many fabrics worn by Crown Princess Masako for her 1993 wedding to the heir apparent, Crown Prince Naruhito, including one with medallions of orange phoenixes floating on a sunny yellow background of abstracted pine branches. Fabrics for the prince are more minimal, such as a bright-orange bolt made for his winter robe. Dyed with gardenia fruit, the textile is decorated with nesting mandarin ducks, a design used for princes since the 12th century. (The term for mandarin duck, oshidori, also means "take authority" in Japanese.)
In addition to weaving fabrics for the imperial family, the workshop makes costumes for Noh theater and votive offerings for the Ise Grand Shrine. It also restores ancient textiles, for which the workshop's current head, Hyoji Kitagawa, and his father, Heiro, were named National Treasures by the Japanese government. Heiro Kitagawa received his title for reviving a thin gauze, ra, which fell out of production after the eighth century. The undulating fabric created by interlacing vertical threads by hand is such laborious work that a skilled weaver could only produce four inches per day, spending years making one bolt.
To the untrained eye, many of these details can be overlooked; it requires a patient viewer to discover the unrivaled possibilities of a centuries-long tradition.
* * *
After the precision of the Tawaraya Workshop, "Sourcing the Museum" feels fresh and raw, if a bit uneven. For the show, 11 textile artists were invited by Jack Lenor Larsen — arguably one of the most important American designers of the 20th century — to pilfer the storage rooms of the museum for inspiration, digging up carpets, textile fragments and costumes as springboards for new works.
Jon Eric Riis embraces the partisan nature of Washington politics, taking inspiration from a 13th-century Peruvian tunic to create his "Congressional Constraint Tapestry," a sort of political straitjacket decked with donkeys and elephants in garish red and blue, surrounded by boxing glove fringes. Though the imagery is comical, the execution is refined, woven with silk, metallic thread, horsehair and crystal beads for luminous effect.
Other artists exploit the formal details, such as Helena Hernmarck, who depicts a corner of a ninth-century Egyptian fragment in an almost painterly landscape of loose, interlacing weaves. Polly Barton captures the iridescent colors found in a 16th-century Egyptian rug with her ultra-thin silk panels, while Lia Cook stacks enlarged cartoonish figures appropriated from Syrian and Egyptian narratives from around the sixth and seventh centuries.
As a result of these pairings, however, the contemporary works feel vibrant and relevant, while their counterparts seem simply dusted off and rolled out for the occasion. The items from the collection often lose their historic fervor in this context.
Of course, this might be necessary for the sake of contemporary art. Such is the case in Archie Brennan's conceptual jab, as he illustrates three items chosen at random from the collection — an oriental rug, a Bhutanese dress and Mexican fiesta pants — redesigned to overlap in a "pseudo-collage." Or in Warren Seelig's funnel; inscribed with red fishing lines, it reaches up into an atrium space and was inspired by fragile and lacy 19th-century Philippine pina cloth made with knotted and woven pineapple plant fibers.
Such connections are loose, and maybe fleeting in the grand scheme of a textile tradition. But the strength of "Sourcing the Museum" lies in its premise, as it challenges contemporary practitioners to consider a history of traditions, and maybe even embrace lost legacies.

Awk, Nawk and GNU Awk Cheat Sheet
I love cheat sheets. I have at least 30 in front of me at the moment scattered throughout my desk: awk cheat sheet, vt100/ansi screen terminal emulation keyboard mapping cheat sheet, emacs command line editing mode cheat sheet, ethernet, ip and tcp header layout cheat sheets and many many others. I am glad that I can share the cheat-sheets with you so you can become a better developer! I have made some 15 out of 30 cheat sheets myself and I will make them available for download in the future posts.
Someone might say that looking the information up in a man or info page, manual or Google is equivalent to looking it up on a cheat sheet, if not better. I disagree.
First of all it is usually, but not always, takes more time to find where in the documentation the particular thing is located but in the cheat sheet you have it right in front of you. For example, suppose you were C programmer and forgot how to print a floating point number, you'd type `man 3 printf' and quickly find the answer. That's fine - it's as fast or even faster than looking something up in a cheat sheet but that's just because you knew exactly what you were looking for! But let's look at Joe Random who just began learning gawk programming language and at the moment wants to replace a part of a string with another string. He'd probably already have the manual open and would start going through it looking for string functions. It would take him a good minute or so before he finds the correct place and reads how the function works. Now, if he had a cheat sheet, like the one I created here, he'd have all the string functions in front of him and he would quickly locate that it is gsub or gensub. He'd find not only that but also all the other string functions and next time he has a problem he might remember the right function subconsciously.
What I want to emphasize is that the cheat sheets are not for NOT remembering things and just looking them up hundreds of thousands of times and never actually learning them but are FOR remembering and learning new things faster.
It is also interesting to find what technologies you have not used for a while because the cheat sheets pile up in most recently.
I made this cheat sheet in Microsoft Word because I am not that good with TeX, particularly formatting data so it looked nice.
So the awk cheat sheet is available in .doc and .pdf. I will usually post the cheat sheets in these two formats.
This cheat sheet contains:
- Predefined Variable Summary, which lists all the predefined variables and which awk versions (original awk, nawk or gawk) have it built in,
- GNU awk's command line argument summary,
- I/O statements,
- Numeric functions,
- Bit manipulation functions,
- I18N (internatiolization) functions,
- String functions, and finally,
- Time functions.
If you notice any inaccuracies, mistakes or see that I have left something out, leave a comment.

Your awk cheat sheet will come in handy. Many thanks for taking the time to create and to share it.
Thanks for creating and sharing this.
Great cheat sheet. And for yet for information on awk see http://awk.info
Great cheat sheet, even handy if you already have awkcard, the one that comes with the gawk distribution.
Taking a hint from the latter, if it isn't too hard perhaps you could highlight text that applies only to gawk.
Awesome.. Thanks Man.. The cheat sheet is my bible for AWK. I have recommended the sheet for my friends too.
I'm a total newbie in unix, though I have considerable programming experience in another environment... I totally agree with your motto "good coders code, great reuse"!!
Thanks a lot
i want to set display
I really liked your sed cheatsheet, and the one-liners explained, but not so much the awk one. If anyone else is looking, I'd recommend this one:
Thnks for the cheat sheet. I found them quite interesting
Thanks for posting this! It is a big help.

Published: October 22, 2013
Publisher: Katherine Tegen Books
Pages: 526 (Hardcover)
Series: Divergent #3
Source: Bought
My Rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
The faction-based society that Tris Prior once believed in is shattered--fractured by violence and power struggles and scarred by loss and betrayal. So when offered a chance to explore the world past the limits she's known, Tris is ready. Perhaps beyond the fence, she and Tobias will find a simple new life together, free from complicated lies, tangled loyalties, and painful memories.
But Tris's new reality is even more alarming than the one she left behind. Old discoveries are quickly rendered meaningless. Explosive new truths change the hearts of those she loves. And once again, Tris must battle to comprehend the complexities of human nature--and of herself--while facing impossible choices about courage, allegiance, sacrifice, and love.
Told from a riveting dual perspective, Allegiant, by #1 New York times best-selling author Veronica Roth, brings the divergent series to a powerful conclusion while revealing the secrets of the dystopian world that has captivated millions of readers in Divergent and Insurgent.
Initially, I was disappointed by Allegiant. It didn't have the same feel that the other books had and I ended up having to put it down for awhile because I wasn't sure if I wanted to find out how it ends. If you're feeling the same way, then keep reading because the ending was by far the best part of the book.
The beginning to about midway through the book was basically Tris and Tobias kissing at the end of every chapter. Normally I wouldn't have a problem with that, but after awhile it just got old and I wanted something more exciting to happen. I was glad that they worked out most of their problems, but the whole thing with Nita was a tad annoying. Tobias was completely convinced that Tris was jealous of him spending time with Nita because she was pretty. While Tris wanted to convince him that there was something going on. To be honest, the way both of them went about solving that problem was wrong. Tris should not expect Tobias to blindly follow whatever she says. That's just ridiculous. And Tobias shouldn't automatically think that Tris is jealous of Nita just because he would probably be jealous if the positions were reversed. Thankfully they got past that problem, otherwise it would be like the lying in Insurgent all over again.
The dual point of view took awhile to get used to and I understand now that the ending probably wouldn't have been as good if the book hadn't started with Tobias and Tris's point of views. It was hard to tell the difference between the perspectives and I found myself flipping back to the beginning of the chapter to see which point of view it was. They both sounded like Tris to me. There were a few clues that told me that it was Tobias, but his chapters didn't stand out from Tris's and I think that's the first thing that disappointed me.
The ending was heartbreaking and powerful. I realized a little more than halfway through the book what the ending would be, but it still hit me hard. I was fighting back tears as I read so that I could see the pages. Allegiant was weaker than the first two books in the beginning, but it definitely has the best ending.

When the temperature drops it can be very hard to decide what to wear, particularly if you are into vintage. Dresses and seamed stockings are just not going to cut it. I'm always cold and I've really struggled with what I can wear on the coldest days to keep my vintage identify intact without freezing. While looking through my 1930s Fashion Source book I was particularly struck by the gorgeous ski suits.
Now I've been skiing exactly one time about 14 years ago and I spent nearly the entire time in the cabin teaching my pug Tubby tricks, but I certainly don't remember anyone wearing anything as chic as this on the slopes. If they had I'm sure Im would have spent more time skiing. So even though I knew I wouldn't be skiing it did occur to me that a vintage ski suit might well be the perfect thing for a vintage lover to wear on a blustery winter day, even if they had no intention of hitting the slopes. I searched on Etsy and found the perfect 1930s ski suit in my size. It was a big investment so I waited until I had my tax return funds to buy it.
It's incredibly thick and warm and I love how it looks. Unfortunately it really hasn't been very cold this winter so I have only had a few opportunities to wear it.
It really is a fun warm outfit. It almost makes me want to try skiing again.

New financial product laws could increase red tape, says industry
Posted Monday, 4th April 2016
Professor Dimity Kingsford Smith is quoted in the Sydney Morning Herald (21 March 2016) regarding the government drafting new laws to give ASIC more powers against banks.
When considering the design of the new product intervention powers for ASIC, Dimity Kingsford Smith said determining the threshold for ASIC action would be a key issue. She also suggested that the laws in Australia were likely to allow a more tailored approach than other jurisdictions, by allowing ASIC to hone in on one feature it did not like – for example, a teaser interest rate, and having that removed.

I'm ba-a-a-a-ck!
I started Lincoln Buff 2 in October 2008 as my contribution to the Abraham Lincoln Bicentennial. For more than a year, I wrote of Lincoln events, books, sites, and more. I travelled central Illinois, and later went to both the east and west coasts visiting places with Lincoln connections. I met most of the leading Lincoln scholars and many enthusiasts. I built friendships and mentoring relationships I'll always cherish. I went to two events where President Obama was speaking, and even met Stedman Graham at one of them. (No, still haven't met Oprah, darn it!)
A funny thing happened on the way to the bicentennial. I wrote more and more and fell even deeper in love with words and how they play together on a page. I also fell deeply and passionately in love with social media. Long after I'd run out of energy to write daily blog posts, I seemed to find abundant energy for Twitter. I've stumbled across people around the world to follow, or to follow me. I've even found a couple unlikely mentors who have propelled me to pursue my dreams.
Dreams do come true
One of those dreams was to write a book. My first manuscript, in which Lincoln plays a very strong part, is now with a publisher. When I get good news on that, I'll share it here. Lincoln hasn't come knocking at the door of the second book (still a work in progress) yet, and very likely won't. It's now longer than Richard Bach's 10,000 word "Jonathan Livingston Seagull" -- and growing every day.
Another of my dreams, which includes a relocation to a home on a lake in Missouri, was to find a career with the portability to make that move when the time comes -- and, most importantly, doing something I love. I love writing. I love social media. I love companies with a vision in which I believe.
New moniker - Co-editor
On April 1, I began that career. I am co-editor of Health Care Communication News, a Ragan Communications website to provide health care communicators with information they can use to be better communicators.
On Friday, May 13, we unveiled our new website. I'd love it if you'd drop in for a visit. Believe me, even non-health care communicators, even non-communicators, will find stories they'll enjoy. We publish daily, we do a ton of stories, and we enjoy writing them. We select the images to accompany them, and we try to make that fun, too.
You can still read my words
So, if you started reading my blog because you loved Lincoln, but you kind of liked my words, too, and how I had fun playing with them, drop by our health care communication website, read a story or two, and if you like them, leave a comment, please. We love comments.
You can also still follow me on Twitter as:
- @LincolnBuff2, tweeting about a wide variety of things, often things to uplift, inspire, or inform, or
- @RaganHealth, tweeting links to stories on all of our Ragan websites, kibitzing with health care communicators, and retweeting links I think our readers will enjoy.
Just to get you started, here are some of the health care stories I most enjoyed writing these past six weeks. I think you'll like some of them, too.
- Blogging frontier health care practitioners connect with their founder
- Remember the invisible man? He's interactive and online!
- 300-pound blogger inspired by most ripped Congressman
- Ragan.com by remote: The power is out, but the news is on
- Do you have social media stress disorder?
- 5 things docs should do to cut the jargon
Lincoln is still with me, honestly
Don't worry. I haven't forgotten Lincoln. He is with me everyday, really. Back when I worked as a communications analyst at an insurance company, I had a big penny on my desk to remind me to pursue my dreams. I also had a lot of other Lincoln-related items, including a desk calendar from one of my readers, who has become a friend. In more than one room of my house are bookshelves with Lincoln books. Heck, he's even on one of my favorite T-shirts. Some of those desk items are not yet unpacked from the box where I put them when I left my old job, but the penny and the calendar are here with me every day to remind me that Lincoln will always play a role in making my dreams come true, no matter what they are.For, if a grocer from the prairie could become the President of the United States, another former grocer and insurance scribe 150 years later can surely see her dreams come true, can't she?

This Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Recipe is real hearty soul food with real cheddar cheese and the strong favor of bacon cooked into the whole recipe. Bacon Cheeseburger Soup Recipe serves 4-5.
- 1 pound ground beef

- 1 large green pepper (seeded and chopped)

- 1/8 teaspoon Seasoned Salt
- Start by frying the bacon in a medium sized cooking pot until it is cooked through. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside, keep about 2 tablespoons of the bacon fat in the pot and discard the rest. The hot bacon fat will be used to add flavor to the rest of the Bacon Cheeseburger Soup.
- Stir in the chopped onion, celery and green pepper. Let this sauté gently until the vegetables are soft and cooked through.
- Now add the ground beef to the pot and combine well, turn the heat up to medium and cook until the beef is browned. Stir the beef every couple of minutes to make sure it cooks evenly.

I am a little late on the uptake but not too late to get in on the OWOH giveaways this year. I have debated on what I wanted to give away but most of my stuff lately has been too Valentiney considering the actual drawing for this is after Valentine's Day, so I decided to draw on my other current obsession. As you regular reader's know I recently took Mary Ann Moss'sRemains of the Day journaling class and it was great. I find myself sneaking into the studio for a few minutes at a time and sewing more stuff together to make MORE pages.
