Fold, Crease, Origami!
This entry was posted on December 8, 2009.
Countless numbers of beautiful hand sculpted statuettes can be created from a single square sheet of paper. The word Origami is a Japanese compound word; Ori means "to fold" and kami means "paper." Origami sculptures can range from small to large; from simple to complex. It also plays an integral role in Japanese culture and folklore. Known as the ancient Japanese art of paper folding, Origami has been around for centuries.
The origin of origami is a bit cloudy. Some say, since paper was invented over two thousand years ago in China, paper folding (known as Zhe Zhi in China) naturally had to be invented there, right? Wrong. Just because paper was created there doesn't necessarily mean that they perfected the art. So, by process of elimination, it must have started in Japan. Wrong again! That assumption is based on two stories from the Japanese Heian era. One of the stories tells of a poet, Fujiwara-no Kiyosuke, that sends his girlfriend a fake frog. The other story speaks of Abe-no Seimei, a famous Japanese cosmologist, who made a paper bird that transformed into a real one. Although both stories mention the creation of animal figures, it doesn't state that paper was folded to make them. The truth is, the art of paper folding actually originated in Europe. In the 1490 edition of Tractatus de Sphaera Mundi written by Johannes de Sacrobosco in the 15th century, an origami boat is depicted. But don't fret; even though origami wasn't created in Japan, it was made famous there.
Origami has very strong roots in Japanese culture. Samurai warriors used to trade gifts wrapped with origami to each other as symbols of good luck. In traditional Shinto weddings, origami butterflies are folded to represent the bride and groom. In fact, folding 1,000 paper cranes is considered good luck. We learn this from the true story of Sadako Sasaki.
In August 6, 1945, Sadako Sasaki was just two years old. She lived near Misasa Bridge in Hiroshima, Japan, about 1 mile away from ground zero where the bomb was dropped. By the time Sadako was eleven years old, she developed a severe rash similar to chicken pox. She was hospitalized and later diagnosed with leukemia. With only a year to live, one of Sadako's best friends visited her in the hospital and folded a golden piece of paper into beautiful paper crane. At first Sadako didn't understand why, so her friend told her the story of the 1,000 paper cranes. It is said that a folder of the thousand paper cranes is granted one wish. Inspired by the story, Sadako started folding them herself. Having an abundance of free time in the hospital, she would fold cranes out of any scraps of paper that she could find. Around mid October however, her condition worsened and she became bed ridden. With her family at her side, Sadako passed away short of her goal with only 644 cranes folded. Her friends finished the remaining cranes and buried them with her. In memory of Sadako and all the other children lost in the bombing, a statue of Sadako holding a golden origami crane was erected in Hiroshima.
The Japanese have mastered origami and take it pretty seriously. Japanese children are taught how to fold intricate sculptures in grade school and many of them continue this practice into adulthood. Origami has greatly evolved from the simple crane and the jumping frog to extremely complex designs created by using mathematical equations to form the shapes before a single sheet of paper is folded.
Origami is a fascinatingly decorative craft. Normally origami paper has color on one side and is blank on the other, but double sided sheets exist too. There is also foil backed paper with metallic colors glued to one side of the sheet just as the name suggests. Most of the sheets are thin and similar to copy paper with the exception of Washi. Washi is the number one paper used in Japan because it is tougher than the regular paper due to it being made out of tree bark fibers or bamboo rather than ordinary wood pulp. Christmas ornaments can also be made. Take a look at our Origami Wreaths and Rings book for great holiday reef ideas. We also have a few other origami books on our web page with step by step instructions on how to fold your own origami at home. While you're browsing, don't forget to stop and take a gander at our assortment of Origami Paper (https://www.asianfoodgrocer.com/category/origami-paper).

Hold it All Handbag is finished and felted. And just as I was trying to shape it as it was drying, I noticed an error. Falls on her knees in complete sadness I clearly started the strap in the wrong place so it doesn't match on both sides. Can't believe I messed up so badly. All I can say is that I was probably more worried about running out of yarn (which I did) than paying enough attention to my work. DUH DUH DUH!!!!!!!! The bag is useable or carrying Jesse's spare pull-ups and stuff and probably I am the only one who will ever notice that it isn't symmetrical but......
Oh well! Now I guess I need to make another bag and try doing it correctly this time.
Thought spring was finally arriving this weekend and then back came the -25c and snow. It is windy out too so the windchill must be bad. Poor Jesse just wants to go outside and play but it is too cold.
Been working on the taxes. It is a lot of stress as I do the books for my business and DH's taxes too. Hopefully we can Netfile them tonight and then I can do the GST return tomorrow. After that, perhaps I can take a break from stressing myself SOOOOO much. My name is Jackie and I am a work-aholic. And working from home means that I often find reasons to come in the office and work when I could be relaxing. Crazy!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also you can find on our sites.
Generic Viagra is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.
Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say "lack of desire" is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.

- End of life care commissioning insights report - click here
- Keeping Well commissioning insights report - click here

Experience Led Commissioning (ELC) is an approach to planning and buying healthcare services. It is built around the idea that if we listen to and deeply understand people's experiences, we will design better, more person-centred services that deliver better care for people in North Lincolnshire.
The difference between this approach and other ways of commissioning is that it is experience led. Many people complain that often their experience of NHS care leaves them feeling more like a number rather than a person. They often get the right care and medical treatment; yet the human element is missing. We want to ensure that we change this and focus on what people tell us matters to them and what would make the biggest difference to a great experience of care.

The holiday season is a busy time of year, but take care to not let it become a dangerous time. Guests, cooking, space heating, and decorations can add up to a dangerous situation in a home.
In the two months around the holidays approximately 14,000 people end up at hospitals for injuries related to holiday decorating, according to the Consumer Product Safety Commission. Safe Electricity has tips to help you and your guests avoid becoming part of this statistic:
All electronic decorations and lights should be certified by a laboratory like UL, ETL, or CSA.
Inspect cords and electrical equipment before using them. Cords should not be frayed, cracked, or brittle.
Turn off or unplug lights before going to sleep. Power strips and timers can help you do this.
Do not overload extension cords or outlets. Electric overloads can cause shocks and start fires.
Never tack or nail through a strand of lights. Do not place cords under rugs or in high traffic areas.
Outdoor decorations and lights should be plugged into outlets equipped with ground fault circuit interrupters (GFCIs). GFCIs detect and prevent dangerous electrical situations where a shock may occur.
Only use decorations and lights that are rated for outdoor use outside.
Never throw holiday lights on trees near power poles.
If you are using a ladder, stay 10 feet from overhead power lines at all times, in all directions.
Never string more than three strands of lights together, unless packaging specifically says it is safe to do so.
Safe Electricity wishes everyone a safe and happy holiday season. For more information on staying safe and protecting your loved ones, visit SafeElectricity.org.

How slowly should I reduce my dose of Nortriptyline (currently on 150 mg daily)?
I am thinking half a tablet every three weeks. That would mean my daily dosage would be 137.5 mg for 3 weeks, then 125 mg for 3 weeks, then 112.5 mg for 3 weeks (until I reach 75mg daily). I want to halve my current dose and see if the side effects are reduced to a level I can cope with. Does this rate of dose reduction sound reasonable? - I do not want rebound depression nor do I want to discuss this with my psychiatrist (who is nice enough but big on using meds). I am 47 and have been on Nortriptyline for about 15 years - and on a vast array of antidepressants since the age of 15 (32 years). I am medicine compliant but I wish to reduce the dosage due to the side effects I suffer from. (Cardiac arrhythmia / palpitations, dry mouth, trembling, blurred vision, sensitivity to light and restless leg syndrome). I know I will have to continue to take the Nortriptyline, probably forever, I just want to reduce my dose. The restless leg syndrome is unbearable at the moment.
Thanks in advance.

How slowly should I reduce my dose of Nortriptyline (currently on 150 mg daily)?
Responses (4)
We are not medical professionals and cannot advise you to go against your doctors orders by reducing your dosage without his knowledge. My best advice is to talk earnestly with your doctor about your desire to wean your dosage down to 75mg. He might be more willing to work with you on it than you think.
Be well,
I understand that you want to reduce your Nortriptyline but this type of medication (as you well know) is too dangerous to adjust on your own. You have to be brave and talk to your Doctor. I know from personal experience how bad the side effects are to deal with & struggle thru. The thing about lowering your dosage you my need to take something else. For myself to get off of it completely, I had to start two new RX's. MOST IMPORTANTLY, TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR ABOUT WHAT YOU NEED TO DO. Please, don't do this alone. Keep us informed.
Hi, Flo! I completely agree with Kathy and Jan. Adjusting medication dosages without your doctor's supervision can have dangerous consequences. If the side effects you're experiencing are severe enough to make you want to reduce the dosage, it may very well be that this drug is not the most appropriate one for you. There are dozens of antidepressants of different classes available; you may find that a different med will both work better and cause less or no side effects.
Talk to your doctor and put your foot down. Tell him the effects aren't tolerable.
YOU are the patient, and only YOU truly know how you're feeling. You have every right to demand (nicely works best!) your doctor's attention.
Best wishes, WCV
I have been on different antidepressants, covering all classes (MAO Inhibitors, SSRIs etc) but the nortriptyline seems to be the one that controls my depression the best. I have spoken to my doctor and she has spoken to my psychiatrist and she made an appointment to see me. She (psychiatrist) is nice enough but does not accept the extent of the side effects I am suffering from. The restless legs syndrome is unbearable but she seems to think that I should just be tough and put up with it. I am mostly concerned about the heart problems though. I don't want to drop dead of a heart attack. She has had two ECGs done but never spoken to me about my results. My poor GP is really busy and a ten minute consultation does not give much time to discuss all this stuff.
I am unable to change psychiatrists so thought I would just take charge of my own life for a change and do what I feel is best for me. Maybe I will leave my GP a voice message asking her to make me a double appointment to discuss this. I think I know the answer she will give me though - another referral to the psychiatrist, who I am sure looks upon me as a neurotic 47 year old women with nothing to do but complain.
I have started iron, vitamin c and e to help with the restless legs and maybe it is the placebo effect but I have only had two bouts of the syndrome since then, which has been an immense help with my sleep and general wellbeing.
I'm so glad that you have found that a few vitamins have helped. I was on nortriptyline for 2-1/2 years, but did not have the side effects you describe. Of course, I took only 50mg per day. Ask your GP to to test your vitamin levels. Your symptoms could very well be a vitamin deficiency, especially since you have been taking the nortriptyline for so long.
Be well,

Those of you planning on visiting loved ones during the upcoming holidays may want to be extra vigilant at the airport, as the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), the very agency which has been in charge of protecting America's airports since the September 11th terror attacks, has given terrorists worldwide all of the information they need in order to breach security measures currently in place.
Reports of this generous act surfaced yesterday from nearly all media outlets, which described the TSA's posting of an extremely sensitive document (on the eve of a Senate Homeland Security Committee hearing on terrorist travel, no less), which detailed the nation's airport screening procedures.
The 94-page document provides any potential Jihadist taking the time to read it with a how-to manual for bypassing those very same procedures. They would learn about the limitations of x-ray machines and may be pleasantly surprised to find that only 20% of all bags checked in are hand searched for explosives. They would learn how flying in from countries such as Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Libya, Syria, and Sudan, would subject them to extra scrutiny, or that during peak travel times, TSA screeners who check identification can reduce from 100 percent to 25 percent the times they use black lights to authenticate documents.
And to round out TSA's largesse, as an added bonus Jihadists downloading the document were also provided with sample CIA, Congressional and law enforcement credentials, which they could then duplicate at leisure to be used later!
Speaking of leisure, our enemies had 9 months to study the document, as it was posted in March before being removed this week. Not only that, it was actually posted on the Federal Business Opportunity website, a resource for those seeking federal jobs.
How did this happen?
That's what Senator Susan Collins (R-Me), wants Janet Napolitano, head of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to explain:
Senator Susan Collins: This shocking breach undercuts the public's confidence in the security procedures at our airports. On the day before the Senate Homeland Security Committee's hearing on terrorist travel, it is alarming to learn that the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) inadvertently posted its own security manual on the Internet. [DHS needs to explain] how it will remedy the damage that has already been done.
Napolitano, who has shown time and again that she is the wrong person for the job of protecting the nation's borders from those intent on doing us harm, minimized the damage caused by the posting of the document by claiming it was an "out-of-date†document that had been superseded:
Janet Napolitano: The security of the traveling public has never been put at risk. The document that was posted was an out of date document. I've directed that we do a review department-wide of all of our components to make sure that we are being rigorous and very disciplined on what is posted and what is not.
Well, thank goodness for that. We're all resting much easier now.
The full texts of the unredacted document, together with a sample CIA credential can be downloaded here: CLICK HERE TO READ THE SCREENING MANUAL and HERE TO SEE THE SAMPLE CIA CREDENTIAL
Happy travelling!

You may also know that Michael Stelzner of Social Media Examiner was one of the many great people interviewed when writing Leading the Learning Revolution (Here's Mike talking about virtual conferences.)
Well, in a recent edition of the fabulous Social Media Marketing Podcast, Mike Stelzner talks about Webinars with Lewis Howes, author of The Ultimate Webinar Marketing Guide and host of the School of Greatness Podcast.

In a collision between a 40-ton semi and a bicycle, it's pretty obvious who's going to come out on top. But a new bike promises to let its riders walk away from a crash like that. The stand-out feature on the Babel Bike is something inventor Crispin Sinclair calls the "safety cell" — a roll-cage built around a safety seat complete with seat belts.
"The safety cell is physically large enough so as not to get under the front or side of large vehicles, so the Babel Bike (and rider) will be pushed away by the bus or truck, not crushed by it," Sinclair says in a promotional video for the bike.
Sinclair and his team of designers have piled on other safety features for the bike including built-in lights that come on as soon as you start peddling, turn signals, brake lights, foot protectors, mirrors and a horn as loud as a car's. Sinclair believes that if people have a bike that can protect them from collisions with cars, trucks and buses, more people will switch to bikes for the commute to work. But it won't come cheaply. The Babel Bike costs around $3,000 — $4,400 for one with an electric-assist motor.
"It will work out less than you would currently pay to commute by car, bus or train, assuming an average commute of three miles or more each way," Sinclair says. "When you own the Babel Bike outright, your daily commutes are completely free. And you won't need to go to the gym or for a run afterwards, as you will have built your exercise into your daily commute."
You might even be able to do chin-ups on the roll bar.
The bike isn't on the market yet but Sinclair and his team say they have secured contracts with factories in China and Taiwan to deliver the first bikes in May, 2016 to customers who pre-order on his Indiegogo fundraising page.

Rachel Weisz: 'James Bond should never become a Jane'
Daniel Craig's actress wife Rachel Weisz has urged 007 fans to stop calling for a Jane Bond because she thinks the idea of a female taking over from her man is a bad idea.
With Craig bowing out as James Bond after one final movie, the race is on to find his successor - and some people are convinced the time is perfect for a sex change.
But Weisz, who gets to hang out with the man behind Bond whenever she wants, insists a female 007 wouldn't be true to author Ian Fleming's suave superspy, who first appeared in the writer's 1952 novel Casino Royale.
"He (Fleming) devoted an awful lot of time to writing this particular character, who is particularly male and relates in a particular way to women," Rachel tells ScreenRant. "Why not create your own story rather than jumping on to the shoulders and being compared to all those other male predecessors?"
"Women are really fascinating and interesting and should get their own stories," she adds.
Meanwhile, newly-engaged Idris Elba remains a fan favourite to take over from Daniel Craig, becoming the first black Bond, even though he insists he has heard nothing official and fears he might be too old to play 007.
If Bond bosses decide to experiment with a female Bond, The X-Files' Gillian Anderson has made it clear she would be very interested, while Charlize Theron appeared to be auditioning for the role in last year's (17) Atomic Blonde.
Meanwhile, the big screen's former Bond boss Dame Judi Dench appears to agree with Weisz, telling The Sun recently 007 should always be played by a man.
But U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May is among those who would like to see a female in the role: "One day there should be a female James Bond," she recently said.

As a law student in Vancouver in the 1960s, Paul Côté immersed himself in protests against nuclear testing in Alaska, eventually becoming one of the founders of the group later known as Greenpeace. He missed the protesters' famous voyage to the test zone because he was training for the Olympics as a sailor.
He returned from the 1972 Summer Olympics with a bronze medal, Canada's first medal in the sport in four decades, which he presented to a baby daughter born while he was overseas.
Mr. Côté, who died July 19 in Vancouver at the age of 69, enjoyed success as a businessman and as a sportsman, where he earned a reputation for rigorous dedication to sailing at such regattas as the Swiftsure in Juan de Fuca Strait and the gruelling Victoria-to-Maui race.
"He was bright, strong, tough," said David Miller of Vancouver, the skipper of his Olympic sailboat. "He had all the ingredients of a good crewman."
Paul Thomas Côté II was born in Vancouver on Jan. 28, 1944, one of eight children of Elizabeth (née Anderson) and an engineer father after whom he was named. After attending Vancouver College, a Catholic all-boys school, he enrolled at the University of British Columbia, where he was pledged to the Alpha Delta Phi fraternity.
In October, 1969, the campus roiled with anger over a planned nuclear test on one of the Aleutian Islands in Alaska. (An earlier test, in 1965, had generated little concern.) The student union hired buses to join a caravan of private vehicles to the Douglas border crossing south of Vancouver for a protest.
Buoyed by the turnout but disappointed at the protest's ineffectiveness, seven people formed a group to challenge the next nuclear test, scheduled to be held on Amchitka in the Aleutian Islands in 1971. The group called itself the Don't Make A Wave Committee, the name a pun about activism that also captured the fear that the underground nuclear explosions might cause a tsunami.
Mr. Côté was one of the three original directors of this group, which later became known as Greenpeace. The others were Jim Bohlen, an American-born engineer and Quaker, and Irving Stowe, a fellow Quaker and American who had abandoned his family name of Strasmich to honour Harriet Beecher Stowe, the abolitionist author of Uncle Tom's Cabin. The group's meetings were held at Irving and Dorothy Stowe's home in the leafy Vancouver neighbourhood of Point Grey.
It was Marie Bohlen, Jim's wife, who suggested the group sail a boat to the test zone. The protest would be an aquatic version of a sit-in that would also fulfill the Quaker tradition of bearing witness.
Mr. Côté's knowledge of watercraft led to his being assigned the unenviable task of finding a vessel for Greenpeace's quixotic protest. He had been a sailor since childhood and his family were long-time members of the Royal Vancouver Yacht Club.
His background did not make the search any easier. "We wrote to everyone we could think of who might lend or charter to us," he told a reporter at the time. "Everything's fine until you tell them you're going to the hydrogen bomb blast in Amchitka."
He eventually found a halibut seiner docked on the Fraser River whose captain, John Cormack, agreed to charter the ecology-minded peaceniks to Alaska on a six-week mission for $12,000. The fishing boat, named the Phyllis Cormack, was renamed Greenpeace for the voyage.
The charter was financed through a benefit concert featuring Joni Mitchell, James Taylor, Phil Ochs and popular local band Chilliwack.
In the end, Mr. Côté did not sail aboard the Greenpeace to the test zone, as he was in training by then for the Olympics.
In 1968, he sailed as one of four crewmen under his father's command aboard Jeunesse, the family's 35-foot sloop, in the inaugural Victoria-to-Maui International Yacht Race. Starting at Brotchie Ledge Light in Juan de Fuca Strait south of Victoria at 10 a.m. on Dominion Day, the Jeunesse was one of 14 vessels to hoist spinnakers in a race across 2,308 nautical miles (4,274 kilometres) of open Pacific Ocean. The Vancouver crew finished first in their division.
Mr. Côté soon after teamed up with Mr. Miller, a two-time Olympian from Vancouver who was a fellow member of the yacht club as well as a fraternity brother. With John Ekels as helmsmen, the three raced in the Soling class, a fin-keel sloop which was to make its Olympic debut in 1972.
After modest success, the trio realized they would need a new, faster vessel if they were to compete for a medal. With financing from Vancouver yachtsman Bob Brodie, who made a fortune in the local gas-station business, they ordered a new vessel from famed boat builder Bill Abbott of Sarnia, Ont. This sailboat was named Terrestrial New World Cuckoo Two, a moniker dreamed up by Mr. Côté, who had affixed a decal of a cartoon roadrunner on the original ship of that name.
The Miller-skippered sailboat finished fifth in the world Soling championship held on Long Island Sound in 1971, a pre-Olympic regatta won by Robert Mosbacher of Houston, who later became commerce secretary in U.S. president George H. W. Bush's administration.
(The week-long sailing competition ended 16 days after the Greenpeace departed its berth at False Creek in Vancouver.)
The following year, the B.C. sailors crushed all opposition at the Canadian Olympic trials off Halifax, winning all eight races.
The sailing competitions for the 1972 Olympics were held in Kiel harbour and included a crew skippered by Crown Prince Harald (now Harald V) of Norway.
The six-race Soling contest was completed under heavy security following a terrorist attack in which 11 Israeli athletes and coaches were killed. The favoured Buddy Melges of Wisconsin won the gold medal, followed by a crew from Sweden, while the Canadians claimed the bronze, the first Olympic sailing medal for Canada in 40 years.
After completing a law degree, Mr. Côté served as an executive with California-based land development company Genstar USA. In 1987, he joined with several fellow executives to form a San Diego-based company called the Newland Group, which purchased the assets of Genstar USA, including 14,000 acres of land in five states.
Mr. Côté was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia a decade ago.
He leaves Christine Lundgren, his second wife, whom he married 21 years ago; three adult children – Christine Haun, Elise Rollinson and Paul Côté III – from his first marriage to Colleen Badger, which ended in divorce in 1990; three grandchildren; two brothers; four sisters; and his mother, Elizabeth, known as Bette.
He was predeceased by his father, a former chancellor of Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, B.C., who died in 2010. He was also predeceased in 2006 by his sister Ann Elizabeth Black, known as Annabeth, the wife of prominent Victoria newspaper owner David Black.
In 1989, Mr. Côté and the Olympic crew were inducted into the B.C. Sports Hall of Fame. Mr. Côté's daughter Christine Haun said the red Olympics blazer he received in 1972 was important to him, a reminder of his success on the sea against the world's best.
"He could look at the stars," Ms. Haun said, "and tell you where you were in the world."

Kickstart Xeko into the Digital Realm!
Hello, Kickstarters! I'm on a MISSION to re-launch Xeko ("zeeko") the endangered animal trading card game (TCG) dedicated to the Earth's AWESOME and INCREDIBLE animals from conservation hotspots around the world. I created Xeko to celebrate nature, unite an incredible community around a shared mission, further biodiversity conservation, and HAVE FUN!
Originally a paper-based TCG (I had this crazy idea about people playing the game TOGETHER, IRL, before FB took over the world...) I'm relaunching the game for online, social, and mobile platforms with the help of some AMAZING friends from the game industry, SUPER FANS, and (hopefully) YOU.
Thanks for checking out the Xeko Kickstarter... If you likey, please give us some backer love and help spread the word!
YOUR MISSION: Join the adventure & become a Xeko Backer Agent!
Trade & Play In the Cloud and On the Go!
The new Xeko will be for online, social networks and mobile platforms, making Xeko more interactive, more viral, and more available to the entire world—INCLUDING PLAYERS FROM THE VERY HOTSPOTS THAT THE ANIMALS CALL HOME.
Originally created for younger players, we're aging Xeko up to be on FaceBook, as well as to add geo-location and trading features to the mobile game -- connecting Xeko Agents around the world.
Meticulous Attention to Detail & HUGE Head Start!
That's the Mission: Costa Rica Starter Set featured above. We spent an INSANE amount of time perfecting the game with attention to every detail -- from the Legend of Xeko backstory to species lists (all fact checked by scientist from Conservation International) to the artwork and animal super powers to hidden messages, puzzles, card designs and uber game balancing.
We released FOUR of 34 hotspot missions. That means there are AT LEAST 30 missions to go!!! That's a lot of ground (and water and air) to cover. TIMES A-TICKIN' -- LET'S GO!!!
Based on the Legend of Xeko (Shhhhhh! A Secret Earth Knowledge Order -- become a backer and I will teach you the handshake...) starter sets are ACTUALLY MISSION BRIEFINGS. Xeko Agents in the field smuggle out new missions disguised as common export items. A coffee box from Indonesia, cigar box from Costa Rica, a magical dragon pagoda from the mountains of SW China. Get it???
Players are Xeko Agents on a mission to restore balance to the world and thwart the Dozers—ne'er-do-wells unwittingly destroying habitats and generally mucking things up.... Dozers will stop at NOTHING to disrupt Xeko's mission and TRY to steal Xeko's power and use the force of nature for their own nefarious ends. They nearly did us in back in 2010, but as Xeko Masters say, "Don't let the Dozers get you down!" and "Without clouds, a rainbow never shines, and you know what's at the end of the rainbow..." ONWARD!!!
Game Play is ADDITIVE, ADDICTIVE & Very Visual
Like dominoes, the game play is ADDITIVE and very visual. It's also very addictive. The core game mechanic is color matching -- players take turns linking cards to create a Xekosystem. This is an innovation for the TCG category that I'm really proud of, along with card rarity mapping to each species IUCN endangered species status. IMAGINE: An ever-growing, glorious, digital XekoSystem (zoom in/out a la Google Earth map-like) with thousands of cards contributed by players around the world. AWESOME!!!
The artwork, based on the style established by the insanely talented Michel Gagne, is STUNNING. The game design, perfected by ex-WOTC game designer, Tyler Bielman, is elegant to the Nth degree.
Digitize Xeko, Yes Please!
I'm especially excited for the digital enhancements we're cooking up -- a global Xeko Agent network, square-shaped cards, animated animals (hellllloooo leaping lemurs, animal migrations, bird calls and a cacophony of sounds, anyone???), digital booster packs, special starter sets, Xeko Apprentice-to-Master difficulty levels, computer assisted tutorials, digital collections and deck building, deeper animal facts and crowd-sourced info (Xekopedia lovers unite!), mobile trading, and ton of other delicious features....
Why a Kickstarter?
Games are expensive to produce (think Blockbuster movie vs. Indie film) and we've taken this project as far as we can on our own. Now we need your help. We have gathered an A-team of people to help move us forward. To keep the team together, develop the digital interface and trading platform, finish the project and get it to market requires one final push. With your help, we can make Xeko: The digital TCG a reality!
More players means more fun! It also means more impact....
Xeko has always been about creating community and joining together to help the environment (and, not to mention, our own species). Xeko Agents connect to trade cards, swap strategy, play the game, and HAVE FUN DOING GOOD. While competition amongst Agents can be fierce, Xeko Agents are an honorable lot – upholding a strict honor code, mentoring and collaborating, and at the end of the day, united as part of a greater team Earth! GO TEAM EARTH!!!
Kickstarter not only helps provide game funding, it also helps build an active and engaged player base, before the game is even launched. We're not just looking for backers, we're looking for Xeko Agents. (That would be YOU.)
Join the mission and become a Xeko Backer Agent today!
About Xeko®
Xeko is a collectible trading card game inspired by Magic: the Gathering® and Pokemon®. It is also a fantastic demonstration of the power of play to make a difference and generate action.
Invented by Amy Tucker, Xeko was originally published in 2006. Together with Sönny Spearman, they built a tremendous team in Seattle, including lead artist Michel Gagne, game designer, Tyler Bielman and art director, Bo Geddes.
The cards feature magnificent and exotic animals whose numbers are diminishing. Card rarity maps to each animal's endangered species status in the real world. Other cards depict curious artifacts and special events that players use in their quest to create a balanced Xekosystem.
Four expansion sets of Xeko were launched based on different conservation "hotspots" in the world: Madagascar, Costa Rica, Indonesia and China. The cards in each set and the packaging were uniquely designed based on the Xeko Agent Mission themes. These beautiful, out-of-print collections are prized by collectors.
Xeko-Pals™, eco-friendly plush toys based on the most popular animals, were also released for each region. All are collectible, but one is particularly rare: Hairy the Lemur. Xeko HQ is actively searching for him and is reporting Hairy the Lemur sightings.

Your Mission
Back Xeko today and help grow the Xeko Agent Network!
(Xeko Agents, of course, always honor the Kickstarter community guidelines.)
Thank you and Be a Force of Nature!
We have heard from sooooooo many players of Xeko Island that we have finally decided to bring back the island, if we meet these stretch goals!
If we can get to $350,000, then we will bring back a new version of the Virtual Endangered Animal adoption game. Players adopt an animal, take care of it, and release it into the virtual wild. The animals will be based on the beautiful animals from the Xeko TCG and the lost Xeko Island.
If we can get to $475,000, then we will bring back the entire Island! The technology needs updating, but so many players requested the Island's return that we're putting it out there: if we meet this goal, we'll bring back the lost Xeko Island.
A Message from Nolan Bushnell
Michael Williams, the founder of Oomba, and Nolan Bushnell, its advisor a.k.a. the "father of the video game industry", were instrumental in helping Amy Tucker recover Xeko. Here is a message from Nolan Bushnell about the project:

Bengals Sign Terrell Owens To One-Year, $2 Million Ordeal
JULY 30, 2010, CINCINNATI—The Bengals reached a contract agreement with wide receiver Terrell Owens Tuesday, signing the outspoken six-time Pro Bowler to an excruciating one-year ordeal worth $2 million plus bonuses. Under the terms of the ordeal, Owens could earn up to $2 million more if, while tormenting fans, teammates, and coaches during what is sure to be an excruciating season, he finishes with more than 60 catches, 1,300 receiving yards, and 14 touchdowns. "I'm excited to start doing my thing right away," said Owens, who is expected to report to Bengals training camp as soon as the ordeal is approved by Commissioner Goodell, who reportedly shook his head in disgust upon hearing that Owens would be returning for a 15th NFL season. "I think the combination of myself and [Chad] Ochocinco will be [sheer torture]." The Bengals have yet to issue an apology.

First, the rhapsody, then complain.
We live in a fantastic astronomical discovery. Nobody is a fan of the great epic space probe Voyager 2 than when I passed no less than four huge worlds and their families, Satellite 1979, 1981, 1986 and 1989 have been joined in the news, as I greedily sucked the experience, not return at any moment in history to see these two worlds represented in the detail close-ups for the first time. (All right, 10-11 in front of the PioneersTravelers, but efforts were relatively primitive.) And the view from the surface of Mars in 1976 and 1997 and again in 2004, with the latter running .... strain the brain cells have joy. In a certain sense.
Toggle grumbling. As a result of these probes annoying, people have stopped writing (or publishing houses to print no more) in the old style of the solar system Planetary Romance (SSPR).
Planetary Romance is the kind of SF-sub, is rooted in the history of 'act of a significant degree ofThe nature of a particular world. SSPR is the sub-sub-genre in which the planets in question belongs to the family of our sun is the Worlds. Advances in astronomy over the past fifty years have had an inhibitory effect on SSPR, but that should not be so.
Critics assume that SSPR must die, as stories like Rider Haggard She could no longer be written. But the analogy with the exploration of land and his literary fame, I say, weak. Clearly,might note that authors are increasingly their utopias and their adventures in space and the earth were filled in the blanks, but from now on and suggest that the blanks are filled in the solar system, so it is a mistake .
My reason for saying so is as follows.
For a long time, the planets of the solar system are piling up, what we might call Planetary Gear personality in human thought and fiction. This method has some origins of the myththat with the war Mars and Venus are feminine, but most of the tradition of the nineteenth century and early twentieth century, when early astronomers and science fiction writers extended their ideas collected. These representations were not entirely random, but are certain flows, so that Mars by Burroughs, Bradbury, Brackett, Heinlein, and Lewis, though with radically different every writer, some soul common parts. All these writers and academics too early, not the things that our pictureDestroying the worlds in question so that it is now too late, too - you do not want to destroy - the prototype they created. One could say that the fiction and much speculation on the planet, as the planting of flags are staking claim to the land of fantasy. Finders Keepers! Too late for space probes for their realism to apply the exclusion of literary personalities of the world ", which are now part of our heritage.
As such, they are still legitimate scenes forNovels. If the writers had only to realize that! A lot of works that would have written, remain unwritten. For example, there is a vacancy for a good yarn, along with mercury, the mercury of the old Twilight Belt and hemispheres eternally hot and cold. There will be a vacancy for a story from four major moons of Jupiter. Lin Carter is making a reasonable effort in his first three books Callisto, but the rest in quality from the tail, and lost to all, in my opinion a great opportunity to connect theSeries with the other Galilean satellites: Imagine having a series of adventures, and all four! Jupiter iself imagine what would be the treatment that we had, when Edgar Rice Burroughs, with his Sassoom adventure began with "Skeleton Men of Jupiter", go! There are vacancies for stories set on Saturn, the only one I know is the Donald Suddaby juvenile delinquency, prisoners of Saturn, which is difficult to grasp - I read a library copy. This is an original story, and his Saturn is nice, butnot enough. The holiday for stories on the set of an inhabited moon, HG Wells' The First Men in the Moon and Edgar Rice Burroughs The Moon Maid with the only two novels that I know. Both are primarily to the moon and not to put on its surface, filling every novel I know, the vacancy for a story on a moon populated in the ancient world, a moon, which is still a civilization on its surface.
Provided in the outer solar system, the planet Uranus isOoranye the project (currently being updated: November 2007) has five stories set in the world, produces a sixth is due soon. Neptune has published quite widely in Last and First Men, Olaf Stapledon and Last Men in London, if not as visionary planetary gear novels chronicles. Pluto (to count them, like a planet is the imagination of the world, too cold) and the small and distant to have dedicated a novel.
Story of CS Lewis' Narnia The Voyage of the DawnTreader has populated the sky with stars of Narnia live - to take the comment from the English boy Eustace, which in our universe a star a big ball of gas combustion. In other worlds, no magic here. Aslan replies, "Even in the world, is not that of a star, but only what is done."

Juanita Ulloa on San Antonio Living!
Juanita Ulloas new ¡Canta mi Son! CD has been given a Disney iParenting Media Award!
CANTA CONMIGO means "Sing with me" and that is exactly what Juanita wants children to do!
Her mission is to ensure that every child have the exposure and opportunity to be at least bilingual. Juanita had Latin American parents approach her in concert, asking her for music to help their children keep their Spanish, and she noticed that US parents often remember the Spanish songs they learned in school, yet they want to be fluent.
Juanita began writing bilingual songs to help children from primary school upwards. After watching her own daughter answer her in English despite speaking Spanish at home, she began writing, playing and recording Spanish music non-stop, surrounding her daughter with artistic enrichment; now, she can't write it fast enough!
Today, Juanita has become the nation's leading female bilingual singer-songwriter with multiple awards to her credit, plus national and international touring.
Listen in to her five childrens CDs, two songbooks, Latin American Piano method book (MelBay Publications), or new Voice Warm-up & Vocal Care CD for teachers & Interpreters!
¡Canta Mi Son! is culturally authentic and Juanitas pronunciation tracks are user friendly. It is a valuable multicultural CD that nurtures the whole child in the classroom.
BELLE ORTÍZ Founder of Mariachi Education, Texas
MICHELLE QUINTERO, Harmony Hills Elementary School Music
With a smooth delivery and an exquisite voice, singer Juanita Ulloa is one of the finest mariachi singers in the country. Ulloa always impresses because she knows how to blend power with control.
