Indian eves complete Hockey Test series whitewash against Belarus
| Updated: Mar 08, 2017 20:58 IST
Bhopal [India], Mar.8 (ANI): The Indian women's hockey team continued their imperious form as they defeated Belarus side 3-1 in their fifth Test to complete a five-match series whitewash here in Bhopal on Wednesday. Captained by striker Rani, the Indian women were quick to get off the blocks as Vandana Katariya scored a stunning field goal in the 6th minute of the match. The first quarter went on to be an eventful one for the Indian team, as Gurjit Kaur successfully converted a penalty corner in the 15th minute to take her side 2-0 up against Belarus. Though the two teams showcased good defensive structure in the following two quarters, the visitors found a breakthrough in the 52nd minute when Yuliya Mikheichyk successfully converted a penalty corner. However, the Indian defence held strong thereafter, and even converted a penalty corner through skipper Rani in the 55th minute to eventually seal the match in favour of India. (ANI)

Remember the good ole days? Coffee meant coffee and there were no venti, half-caf, 140° soy orange mocha lattes with dairy-free, non-fat whip cream, and a dusting of organic nutmeg. You'd go to a coffee shop for the coffee and to read the paper; not to hold business meetings or multitask on the phone. You use to not care about the artwork on the walls or the latest house music hit playing on the store's radio. And you certainly didn't set up shop with your laptop.
He could be working in an office, at the library, or on a desk just about anywhere else. But where's the show in that? He needs to be able to walk into the place and announce his arrival by asking everyone present where the closest outlet is. Depending on the store's set up, this may give him an opening to begin moving around furniture or draping his power cord across multiple tables. He takes his time milking this set up process so everyone knows that he's marking his territory and setting up shop at that table. And not to let the spotlight leave him just yet, he needs to ask those sitting around him if the place has free wi-fi or if they are able to pick up a signal from the apartments upstairs.
So what exactly is he up to? Probably not surfing the internet or checking his email because he already has a smart phone for that. Perhaps shopping online, but that is unlikely because he doesn't have much cash after spending ten dollars on coffee drinks every time he shows up with his lap top. Maybe he's a very important businessman conducting very important business. Or maybe he's taking some time off to find himself and write the great American novel. As Stewie Griffin so aptly put it, "How you uh, how you comin' on that novel you're working on? Huh? Gotta a big, uh, big stack of papers there? Gotta, gotta nice litte story you're working on there? Your big novel you've been working on for three years? Huh? Gotta, gotta compelling protagonist? Yeah? Gotta obstacle for him to overcome? Huh? Gotta story brewing there? Working on, working on that for quite some time? Huh? Yea, talking about that that years ago. Been working on that the whole time? Nice little narrative? Beginning, middle, and end? Some friends become enemies, some enemies become friends? At the end your main character is richer from the experience? Yeah? Yeah? No, no, you deserve some time off."

Today Kindergarten teachers met together for a day of professional development. We are coming to an end of the third nine weeks (can you believe it?) and the teachers are getting together to write new Science lessons for the fourth nine weeks. They were also reviewing and revising lessons that they had already taught The county has adopted the state's Big Ideas for Science and essential questions - a philosophy of teaching concepts in the 5 E format - engage, explore, explain, expand/extend and evaluate. Of course, there are very few lessons and the adopted kindergarten Science text doesn't cover the same standards! Makes you wonder just what other teachers will be teaching? I'm afraid that in some schools the big ideas will simply be skipped! But, of course, that has never been an option at Chets Creek. We take Science very seriously and believe that the foundation for the 5th Grade Science state test is built on the shoulders of what is done in the lower grades.
Debbie Harbour, our Science Lead teacher, began the day by reviewing the 5 E model so that we would have it fresh in our minds as we began to write. Then the team divided into pairs and chose lessons of interest - some to write new and some to review and revise. As the day came to a close, teachers explained to the rest of Kindergarten what they were working on and what they expected to have complete.

01. A made up language
When I was about 3, I started learning to read and asked my older brother to help out. We loved to hang out together, the dynamic being him trolling me at every step and me getting frustrated while trying to get my revenge. During his gig as a reading tutor, he started intentionally misspelling words on paper to get entertained by my mispronunciations. Do this a few hundred times and - by accident - we ended up creating this pig-latin like language. Super fun - speak it fast enough and parents can't understand a thing. Neighbors get confused and people on the street struggle to figure out which country you moved from. The language rules became apparent only years after our brains were already excelling at swapping consonants and vocals within syllables of complex words. A good friend eventually also picked it up, increasing the speakers of this endangered language to 3, while our parents remained clueless. "Echamaifyciivonoak!"
02. Understanding evolution
That moment when the angels sing, the world around you fades to white and you're in awe of all these small miracles... it happened to me when I finally understood the basic process of evolution.
Are you confident you can explain evolution to a 10-year-old?
It's easy, it's just a series of happy accidents. An error in the copying process that sometimes results in an improvement in the next generation. A bump that becomes a wing, a pinhole that turns into an eye - not overnight, but after a hundred or a billion times you end up with beautiful dandelion parachutes designed by what Dawkins calls the blind watchmaker.
03. Fragments of life *
These are some random stories from someone who lives in the US but wasn't born here. Another immigrant from a former communist country, with other siblings living all around the world. Different perspectives enabled by somewhat open borders and tolerance.
I've seen our own politicians and far right extremists being openly racist on national TV, being hosted purely for ad revenue. Whenever I see the combed-over xenophobic orange clown foaming at the mouth, I'm also seeing all the red flags and hearing alarm bells ringing at full volume. All the signs are there, ask any of your acquaintances coming from different cultures - we've seen it all before and learned to avoid and reject these individuals.
You are now facing two choices: to learn from other people's mistake or make your own. The impact of a bad choice will most likely reverberate and negatively impact your life over the next few years. It's not "what's the worst that could happen" it's how long it will that take for the nation to recover. It's years that mean little on a historical scale but will represent a sizable chunk of your own life. I left my own country because the recovery was not happening fast enough. After November 8 I might have to do it all over again.

Globally, tobacco use accounts for 4.9 million deaths each year. These deaths are caused by inhaled smoke toxicants. Extensive research describes cigarette smoke toxicant content (or """"""""yield""""""""), a vital link to understanding user toxicant exposure. However, millions of people use waterpipes (WP) to smoke tobacco. WP tobacco smoking may also be deadly, though little is known about WP smoke toxicant yield. A WP (hookah, shisha) has a hose, water bowl, body, and a """"""""head"""""""" filled with sweetened and flavored tobacco that is heated with charcoal. WP tobacco smoking is increasing in the U.S., especially among college students. Relative to one cigarette, one WP use episode can generate 100 times the smoke. Current technology demands that, if we are to learn about WP smoke, we must use machines to generate it. Machine-generated smoke may limit validity because generation of WP smoke involves several key variables that differ by user and use episode which cannot be standardized in the analytical lab. This response to PAR-08-212 integrates mechanical engineering, chemistry, and clinical behavioral pharmacology to develop and test an unobtrusive WP smoke sampling instrument for the purpose of assessing the toxicant content of smoke produced in the natural environment.
The specific aims are to: 1) Characterize a real-time WP smoke sampling device (Years 1-3). We have developed a prototype device that measures puff topography and samples WP smoke in real- time (REALTIME). Because particle deposition in the device may alter smoke toxicant content, correction factors need to be developed to infer true toxicant content from that measured. We will therefore measure toxicant-specific deposition fractions in the device, in particular for: particle number, particle mass, nicotine, tobacco-specific nitrosamines, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. 2) Evaluate REALTIME design options in the clinical laboratory (Years 1 and 2). Two design options, placement of the smoke sampler and the percentage of smoke sampled, involve tradeoffs between accurate measurement of toxicant content and realistic smoker behavior. We propose two controlled clinical laboratory studies to inform design option choice, with Study 1 addressing sampler placement (bowl or mouthpiece) and Study 2 addressing percentage of smoke sampled (2, 5, or 10%). The preferred option maximizes realistic smoke toxicant analysis while minimizing effects on smoker behavior. 3) Evaluate REALTIME in the natural environment (years 4 and 5). REALTIME will be attached to WPs used by consenting individual and groups of WP cafi patrons. The study will demonstrate REALTIME's use in natural settings and examine the relationship between the number of WP users and tobacco temperature and WP smoke toxicant yield. In sum, the technology and methodology developed in this project will enable valid analysis of WP smoke toxicant content. This interdisciplinary project addresses an emerging public health threat and is directly relevant to the NIH mission and wholly responsive to PAR-08-212.
This project is relevant to public health because waterpipe tobacco smoking is a little-understood but rapidly emerging strain in the nation's tobacco use epidemic. The project will inform nascent efforts to prevent waterpipe tobacco smoking from contributing substantially to tobacco's morbidity and mortality by developing and validating the technology necessary to learn about waterpipe smoke toxicant content in natural settings. For cigarette smoking, valid and reliable information regarding smoke toxicant content has been used effectively to support tobacco use prevention and control programs;this project seeks similar positive outcomes for another potentially lethal form of tobacco use.

Lucie's "godbrother", A, gets to mountain bike and hike and have all kinds of adventures all over the Columbia River Gorge… as long as those adventures don't involve peanuts. Or any kind of nuts (see: Best in Show's hound dog breeder, Harlan Pepper, for a complete listing of nuts). So I naturally thought: "Hey, what a great blogging opportunity!" Luckily, Godmother B was game, too.
When did you find out about A's allergy?
We were in California last summer. A was 10 mo. old and he ate a peanut butter sandwich at the pool. He got these red bumps around his ankles and wrists, but we assumed it was from the pool because the water was kind of funky.
Then he came home and ate peanut butter and he got hives. We said: "This is definitely peanut butter."
Dad ate a peanut butter sandwich and gave A a kiss sometime later and he still broke out.
Had A eaten PB before?
Yes, a bunch of times. We have pictures of him eating it! It was one of the first thing that I gave him; we weren't really worried about him having allergies. We didn't pay attention to what [foods] we gave him.
What entails having a kid with a severe allergy?
Being more careful, I guess.
We have an allergist we see, but he's really prohibitive. We need a second opinion because the doctor wants to avoid a lot of things like chickpeas, too.
Oh, we also have EpiPens. One with us, one at daycare.
We'll talk more about the pens in a minute. Where did you get your research?
I don't do a lot of research. There was a website that the allergist gave me but I would like to speak with another person.
We only have the two allergists in town and one is only open 3-days/week, 9:00 AM-12:00 PM. And they are not actual doctors.
Yeah, they are nurse practitioners. I guess that's fine-ish.
Do you have any new fears around this, or run worst case scenarios?
You know, I don't…
They tested his blood and he could have anaphalactic shock (some people have allergies that don't lead to that). I should worry more, but I don't.
I think I will worry about it even less when he can talk. So far I've been the only one who has exposed him…
Will it be like this all of his life?
It's not something that he can grow out of, but we can do a controlled re-introduction later in life. We have to wait until he's 4 years old so he can tell us if he's feeling weird.
What were your perceptions about food allergies before? Have your views changed?
I certainly thought it was annoying when nuts were prohibited. And I still feel that there are people who call things an allergy that are not allergies and I think that is harmful to those who have actual allergies. I knew people who were truly intolerant, who would get sick…
I also understand why there are no nuts in places like schools. I am thankful for that now.
I knew that allergies were out there, but I didn't realize how difficult it is when working around that when purchasing products.
What is your experience with that?
[laughs] I look at the package AFTER I buy it… we go back and forth as to whether it is important or not. We haven't had a reaction to the packaged food where it has 'been processed in a factory with other nuts.'
But there were a few instances with actual nut products.
- Someone gave us some baby oil in a sample kit… not labled. His skin was dry and so I rubbed it on him. I liked the way it smelled, so when I looked at the actual product in the store, the first ingredient was almond oil.
- I bought bread at a bakery and it was labled cranberry apricot… and I gave A a little and then I started to look at the bread and sure enough there were nuts in it. His eye had swollen pretty badly. I went back to the store and just gave them a head's up, and they said "there's no way it has nuts in it", but it did– I could taste it and my kid was breaking out.
- We went to an Easter egg hunt and I tried not to be that parent who says "can we not have nuts in the candy?" and A came up to me with a peanut butter egg in his hand. Luckily, it was still wrapped in foil…
Are food allergies hereditary?
I don't know. His dad's family has a lot of allergies, so it feels like it could be.
Do you feel that you get enough community support?
Definitely with a nut allergy, people take it seriously and feel bad and are on the learning curve.
Sometimes when we go to potlucks, people don't understand that it's all nuts… people make things with pine nuts, thinking that the allergy isn't to all nuts.
I could speak up more. Maybe people would adjust if I said something, or maybe they wouldn't invite us.
Let's talk about EpiPens…
They are not designed for babies or small kids under 40-pounds. But if you have the choice between death and giving your kid a shot, I would give him a shot.
The first pen was $400 and our insurance covered $0-50 of it and then three months later it was recalled, so we had to buy another. This was promoted by the doctor's office as being so much cheaper… and it was still $300. We should have more pens around, but you can see why we don't.
Another awesome thing is that they expire. We live in a small town and the one they have available is the one that expires in 7 months.
Also, you can't have one without a prescription… when I was teaching outdoor school, we wanted one, but couldn't get one.
*Author's note: The cost of the epinephrine medication is $1. Over time, marketing efforts turned this self-injecting pen into a billion dollar industry. Read about their 55% profit margins here.
*Author's post script: Thank you to Godmother B!

Confusion has been described as "agitation", "jumble", "mess" and many other States of that frustration. In a constantly changing world, many times we feel as if we live in a world confused. Confusion has led many times people always depressed, losing sleep and hurt their relationships. However, many of the greatest human advances in science, technology and the arts, were the results of a State of confusion that had arisen due to the lack of instruments of many types. To resolve this confusion, some people are turning to music, some people turn to education and trial and error, and some unfortunately are attracted to drugs and other means of harming themselves and others.
Confused citations are one way that we can solve our sorrows from confusion by relating to others before us who shared similar situations. We are constantly confused by what life throws at us, for example, we are confused by our classes in school, relationships, social norms, and more. If we look at the negativity of the confused situation, we will let you easily confusing take over our emotions and we will go from simply feel confused about feeling bad about ourselves and sometimes even those we love most all around us. Quotes that help us accept the fact that there are confused and help us enjoy actually we stumbled upon an idea or an obstacle in our lives that put us in a State of confusion because it's confused is actually an opportunity to find out where the lack of knowledge and can lead to great progress in our lives so confused, in the lives of others through simple or complex ideas and new technologies.
Confused citations may include famous quotes confused by celebrities or the smartest and brightest of our time or can be as simple as regular ordinary people say things or sometimes even a young boy or girl could say when confused about the wonderful world around them.
Here are some famous quotes.
Once it is accepted that even between
the closest humans continue to infinite distances
to exist, a marvelous living side by side can grow, if
they love the distance between them that
allows you to see other whole against the sky.
~ Rainer Maria Rilke
Never pretend a love that does not actually believe,
for love is not ours to command.
~ Alan Watts
Here are some ordinary quotes.
When I look in your eyes I get confused because we're not together as lovers because there is a connection.
I'm confused, why do people talk about gays and the fact that they are not straight when the whole world did their stuff straight.
So the next time you feel confused, not to resort to putting yourself or blame others. However, note that the world is confused and being confused is only normal. Some of the most influential and most popular of our time have had their greatest discoveries and advances in times of confusion. When you are confused, sometimes it is only an indication that you walk a path that others have not walked before. This is almost always true because no one has ever walked in your shoes, exact with your exact environment and education, never before.

The Indiana Baptist Foundation welcomes Jennifer Hall as President
Jennifer has an extensive background in organizational fundraising, accounting, and financial advising. For 10 years, as a consultant for the State Convention of Baptists in Indiana, she led the development of capital campaigns for churches that collectively raised more than $2.8 million in pledged giving. More than 75% of the campaigns exceeded their initial fundraising goals.
In her previous role as controller for Northside Baptist Church in Indianapolis, Jennifer administered the accounting and payroll functions and worked collaboratively with the Budget and Personnel Committees in financial decision-making.

COUNCIL chiefs today (Friday, August 9) set out their budget target for 2003 - another tax freeze for Liverpool.
But they warned that this depends on the government coughing up enough money to balance the books.
This year the authority managed a 3% cut in council tax but at a meeting earlier today councillors revealed that they are aiming for a freeze next year and are looking at the best means of achieving this.
From last March, for the first time in a decade, residents in Liverpool have no longer been paying the highest council tax in the country after the Liberal Democrats slashed taxes.
The cut followed four years of frozen council tax bills.
It was also revealed today that council chiefs are planning to go out to public consultation as well as speaking to members of the council's select committees about what they would like to see happen to council tax.
Councillor Chris Curry, executive member for resources, said: "It is our ambition to freeze council tax but this depends on how much money we get from central government.
"For the first time ever there will be widespread consultation with councillors of all parties and members of public."
But Cllr Oliver Martins, acting leader of the Labour party, said today he remains sceptical about any consultation exercise which is carried out.
"At the end of the day I am sure the Liberal Democrats will just do what they want.
"This year's cut has been very painful for people with not enough benefits. We certainly would not want another cut and would agree with the Liberal Democrats that a freeze is the best way forward," Cllr Martins said.

WhatTheyThink Environmental Innovation Awards Announced
Monday, February 09, 2009
Press release from the issuing company
LEXINGTON, KY -- WhatTheyThink, the leading news and information site for the graphic communications industry today announced the opening of applications for the WhatTheyThink Environmental Innovation Awards, given in partnership with Unisource and the Unisource Respect Printers Program.
The Environmental Innovation Award is offered to any graphic communications services provider located in North America, regardless of size and printing process. We believe that innovative ideas are not constrained by company size or process; the awards are intended to provoke, encourage, and celebrate creative thinking and innovative solutions.
To recognize companies that are making real and concrete contributions to innovation, implementation, and communication of environmental solutions, five awards will be presented to industry leaders who have developed environmental solutions within the design, production, and delivery value chain for printed graphic communications.
"Winners of the Environmental Innovation Awards will be announced on April 22, 2009, the 39th anniversary of Earth Day," said Gail Nickel-Kailing, managing editor of WhatTheyThink Going Green. "An event that propelled environmental issues onto the public stage, Earth Day is an especially good time to recognize companies that are environmentally progressive and implementing projects, initiatives, and processes which go beyond certification and compliance to truly innovative solutions."
Award Categories
Five awards will be presented; one in each of the following categories:
• Environmental Sustainability and Your Community recognizes a company that is involved in an environmentally progressive community program; i.e., someone who is doing something specific for either their staff or the community at large. Suitable programs include initiatives for charitable organizations, internal programs such as alternative transportation for staff, and other "outreach" that supports both the environment and the community.
• Environmental Sustainability and Your Plant recognizes a company that is "walking the talk" in their own plant; for example, lean/green manufacturing, unique lighting or ventilation, using production equipment (hardware and/or software) in unique ways.
• Environmental Sustainability and Your Processes recognizes a company that is implementing environmentally sensitive processes incorporating inks, papers, consumables, waste management, or recycling in new and different ways.
• Beyond Environmental Sustainability recognizes a leading-edge solution or initiative involving unique creativity; for example, a biodiesel "still" to create alternative power sources.
• Thought Leader (Overall Best of Class) recognizes a company that best represents the "new green graphic arts company" among all applicants. The recipient will be a truly innovative, disruptively-creative company.
To Enter
Entries for the Environmental Innovation Awards are to be submitted electronically as a PDF no later than 5:00 PM (EST) March 20, 2009 to firstname.lastname@example.com. Organizations may submit applications in more than one category, however a separate application must be submitted for each category for consideration. Application forms are available at http://members.whattheythink.com/environmental-award/

Sunday, May 9, 2010
my mom is loving, kind, honest, compassionate, nurturing and silly. she has taught her children to be these things as well. when i say "her children," i dont just mean my sister, brother and i ... she has literally raised a village. her values have been instilled in the children of fremont and beyond. its people like this woman, my mother, that make our tomorrow better.
my favorite thing about my mother is that her laughter is contagious. i can remember sitting in church as a little girl and dad giving me "the look" like im being too loud or silly. mom tried ... to give me "the look" but sometimes, instead, the entire pew would start to shake. you see, my mother laughs with her entire body, then she starts tearing up and can no longer speak. it makes my heart smile thinking about it :)
above is one of my favorite recent photos of my mother. it was taken at my wedding. a "pelican" or very large bird relieved himself and it landed on mom's head. she was so graceful about it ... and of course, could not stop laughing. below are a few other shots from the wedding. thanks to christine hall (my cuz) for capturing these moments.
i was reminded early today how precious mothers are and how blessed i am to be surrounded by strong women who teach me every day. i have the most amazing mother-in-law whom i love dearly. oh, and dont even get me started about my sister ... she is my freaking hero.
so to my mother and all the other motherly women in my life, with all my heart, thank you!

Rooster Teeth Expo 2012
We showed off some of our work from Halo 4 at this year's Rooster Teeth Expo in our hometown of Austin, TX. That's right people; we're co-developing with the Chief again and loving every minute of it. Part of what we have been up to is designing Forge environments for Halo 4 and improving the map editor itself with usability improvements, graphical enhancements, and new features that will spark a whole new creative wave of community maps and games. Click here to see the RTX Halo 4 panel in action.
"While a wide breadth of changes and additions have been made to the Forge editor, most interesting are the "Player Trait Zones," which allow map builders to modify the characteristics of any players that enter the affected area, changing the height of their jumps, the speed at which they run, etc. It's even possible to reverse the gravity in a given area by using "Grav Volume" field."
"The possibilities really are more limitless than ever before for fans who want to craft a map as finely-engineered as those the developers have ready to go."

1. Read
- The hobbit (re-read, after watching the movie)
- Personality Plus (a very interesting book about different type of personalities which was very enlightening - I'm learning to be more tolerant of others, or at least, i'm trying to lol.)
- Terry Pratchet's Soul Music (WIP)
- Terry Pratchet's Going Postal (mindless, witty, fun)
- Neil Gaiman's Fragile Things (weird, short stories)
- Thinking, Fast & Slow (WIP)
2. Spend more time with family and friends.
I think I did okay with the family part - helped with a lot of errands ie, groceries, chauffeuring.
I think I could've done more with the friends part, but the good thing is that I have met nearly everyone I've wanted to meet in the past 2 months... Except for the ones who are overseas. :(
3. Take trips
Penang makan trip - trips to penang are never bad.
Danang - heard that airasia was gonna axe the flight and was convinced to go. Interesting trip. Lots of vietnamese food and beer, and excellent company - so all in all, good. Key learning is that I should really do proper in-depth research before embarking on a trip to any third world countries that speak in a foreign language.
4. Get a job by March.
Well, I got a part time gig bartendering for the past month which was super awesome. Satisfying but exhausting. Very eye opening too, but I will have to cut down or eventually stop because.... I will be starting a spanking brand new job on the 18. I'm super scared to be honest. I've always worked for big corporates. I'm going to embark on a new journey with a tiny company run by chinamen... which is virtually a startup. Scared shitless. I will keep an open mind and heart because I chose to accept this job.
5. Pursue my passion
With the part time job I guess I did just that. :) Could've done more though. I still aspire to complete the IBA cocktail list by end of the year, update that blog, memorise classic recipes and learn bit of functional flaring because it seriously looks fucking pro and good - especially to the untrained eye of customers.
6. Catch up on sleep.
I think I did enough of this to last me a year lol. And does loads of veging in front of the telly count? hehehe.
7. Sign up for dance.
Signed up for 2 levels of salsa, one after another. But I think I won't be pursuing it anymore. While nobody enjoys dancing more than I do, this dance style is just too social for me. I prefer the one-way-performance only sort. I was to sign up for those classes, but never got around to... I hope I can after I settle down with some sort of a routine with the new job.
8. Gym.
Oooops. Didn't do enough of that. :P
All in all I think I did great. :) I haven't even been drinking much these 2 months. My alcohol tolerance level has dropped to a negative hundred I swear.
Throughout these 2 months I've learnt so much, discovered things about myself and of others and met all sorts of interesting characters. Life and people have been very good to me and I'm so thankful. :))) it has been an awesome ride. There has been ups and downs but hey i'm gonna not dwell on the down. And I'm gonna keep doing better and badder, hehe.
Above all, I learnt that if I am patient enough, worry less, be a little more positive, smile a lot more, trust a little more - things will eventually turn out okay.
Above all, I learnt that if I am patient enough, worry less, be a little more positive, smile a lot more, trust a little more - things will eventually turn out okay.
Now to brave on to the next chapter of my life.
Wishing you love and happiness, always. :)

[1] Nellie Kane tease.Notes: Weekapaug contained a Nellie Kane tease from Trey. The Horse was quickly aborted with Trey saying instead of playing Horse, he started thinking about how stupid the ending to My Friend, My Friend was and it threw him off. Fishman said that he thought the ending was the greatest ending in rock history, that he loved it, and it was his favorite ending. Trey said Maze was his personal favorite, prompting quick teases of the end of Maze by himself and Page. Trey asked Page what his favorite song ending was and Page responded with Lawn Boy, which the band subsequently played. Possum contained Lawn Boy and Stash teases. Light contained a Manteca tease from Page and Crosseyed and Painless quotes. Sand and GTBT also contained Crosseyed and Painless quotes.

Blue laser module with wavelength 445nm, 447nm, 450nm, 50mW-1000mW. It's different from 473nm pure blue laser module. These blue laser modules are ready for working, just connect them to the AC, then play it. Portable handheld blue lasers here.
TTL stands for Transistor-transistor logic . TTL input is a form of modulation, as opposed to analog modulation. If you apply 5V signal to TTL input, laser turns on. You turn the input off, laser goes off. TTL modulation indicates that the laser does not support analog modulation of the output but only ON / OFF control. See blanking. With an RGB laser and TTL blanking you have seven colours at your disposal. Red, Green, Blue, Cyan, Magenta, Yellow, White.

Following up on a smart, imaginative and honest rom-com that grossed over $100 million worldwide can be a tall order. While precursor "Think Like a Man," based on radio personality and "Family Feud" host Steve Harvey's book "Act Like A Lady, Think Like A Man," came across as a battle of wits between the sexes, "Think Like A Man Too" exchanges calculating mind games for what can only be described as an ersatz "Hangover" weighed down by Kevin Hart's sports analogy-laden narration.
"Think Like A Man Too" reunites the gang in Sin City for the wedding of Michael (Terrence Jenkins) and Candace (Regina Hall). Not only does the couple have to deal with Michael's overbearing mother who reserves a room within earshot of them, but Michael has the erratic, shrill-voiced Cedric (Kevin Hart) as his best man due to a misunderstanding. Ready to show Michael the time of his life before he ties the knot, the now-single Cedric, who can't seem to rid himself of the presence of his ex-wife, Gail (Wendy Williams), requests a $40,000 per night hotel room (far above his pay grade) complete with a stripper pole and a wisecracking British butler. Not to be outdone by the guys, the ladies also decide to bask in all the debauchery Las Vegas has to offer. What follows is a night of cocktails, kinky costumes, flirtations with lady luck and incarceration for them all. We even get a cameo from a famous boxer (sound familiar?).
Hart's levity isn't enough to rescue us from the same banal relationship issues that plagued the couples in the first movie. In the battle of the insecure and controlling vs. the selfish and stubborn: Lauren (Taraji P. Henson) and Dominic (Michael Ealy) are navigating career issues; Zeke (Romany Malco) is turning in his "player card" as he wants to shake his "Zeke the Freak" past to prove his loyalty to Mya (Meagan Good); Jeremy (Michael Ferrara) has fatherhood jitters as he and Kristen (Gabrielle Union) try to conceive. Oddly enough, the only lovebirds not experiencing any serious relationship issues are the film's uninteresting, aloof and ill-placed married white couple, Bennett (Gary Owen) and Tish (Wendi McClendon-Covey).
Even with the influence of Harvey's book largely out of the picture here, we still get the message that men are dogs that need to be one-upped by women to even the playing field; however, this time around, competition is centered on the superficial. We are fed scene upon scene of the ladies trying to defy gender stereotypes as to how much or what kind of fun they can have in the adult playground of Las Vegas. Of course, this is not an issue for the guys, as the film's overtones reinforce the notion that boys will be boys. It's almost as if the couples wanted a vacation from each other this time. Gone is the mental chess of the first film, one of the features that made it so attractive.
There are glimmers of hope. The ladies' uniquely placed rendition of Bell Biv Devoe's "Poison" provides a kind of halftime show (and momentary respite from vapidity) for us watching the guys and gals duke it out (a real treat for '90s nostalgic R&B fans). Another pop culture gem involves Hart doing a less graceful, less sexy, but funnier version of Tom Cruise's dance routine from "Risky Business." Finally, there's Bennett and Tish, the film's most sexually repressed couple, trying to reenact a steamy scene from John Singleton's "Baby Boy" (also starring Taraji P. Henson).
Given his steep rise in stock since the release of the first film two years ago, it perhaps shouldn't be a surprise that Hart, now the most popular stand-up comedian in the country, takes center stage here. Though Hart's antics are unmistakably some of the funniest aspects of the film, it's unfortunate that so much of the film's potential is wasted on his self-deprecating humor and spasmodic fits of frustration. Maybe the venue is to blame ... who knows? If there's a third installment, let's do without all the sports metaphors as well, because the proverbial ball was, indeed, dropped this time.

Focis left- something free
"Lofi improvised minimalism can go many ways, but often we find it going in the bin, since far too often it seems to be about indulging in the worst kinds of whimsy.
The highly prolific Focis Left - the work of electronics/piano dabbler Mick Buckingham, whose Bandcamp boasts close to 70 releases and demos - has produced some intriguing moments over the last couple of years, although brevity has never been his strong point, and this latest album, twelve tracks spread across seventy-five minutes, would test the patience of a saint, even if that saint was Saint Fidget Of Moog.
Performed mostly on a Korg Triton, it's a random scrawl of piano planking, fractured beats, sub aquatic rave squelch, occasional disembodied vocal samples and the most cursory excursions into drum n bass, jazz and contemporary classical. Occasionally, as on the second, fifteen minute, track, (none of them have titles), things fit together, albeit haphazardly, and he creates an uncomfortable, shifting, stuttering ambience, and when his ideas cohere he can carry you along, but the longer it goes on the more infuriating it all gets, like a kid with no prior engagement with musical instruments let loose in Professional Music Technology and told to recreate their favourite Stockhausen piece.
Doubtless a scholar of International Art English, as identified by Alix Rule and David Levine, could, given enough acid and a big enough thesaurus, describe all this, doubtless using words like liminal, binary and Dadaristical (yeah, that last one isn't in the thesaurus, we just made it up, so what) but there's only so much randomness we can take before we're forced to reach for 'ABBA Gold' and remember that a decent tune is not a crime".

Misaka, Pioneering Knick, Returns to the Garden - George
Vecsey, NYTimes.com
Obama thanks Wat at
The White House.
December 20, 2009, the New York Knicks celebrated Wat
center court at Madison Square Garden, recognizing, at
long last, his place in basketball history. "Once
a Knick, always a Knick!" back
to top
we first saw Wat Misaka's picture in Paul Osaki's office
at the Japanese Cultural and Community Center of Northern
California in September of 2006, we never imagined what joys
would come to us in the three years that followed.
In making
this documentary about Wat and his incredible story, we have
seen lives impacted and dreams affirmed. People across the
country, from ages nine to ninety, have moved us with their
tales of inspiration from hearing how Wat Misaka triumphed
over adversity. At
a time when racism against Japanese Americans was at its all
time high, Wat became not only the first draft pick ever for
the New York Knicks, but the first collegiate draft pick in
professional basketball history.
Yet until recently
he has not been acknowledged by either history books or the
Basketball Hall of Fame as the barrier-breaker that he was. Sixty-two
years later, we watched him get welcomed into the NBA Legends
Organization during the NBA All Star Weekend, then welcomed
back to the "new" Madison Square Garden and NYC
by the Knicks. Not only did famed New York Times sports writer
George Vecsey celebrate the fact that "history had rediscovered
him", but finally, so did a legendary building in Springfield,
Massachusetts. For on August 8, 2009, we witnessed with great
pride together, the inclusion, at long last, of Wat Misaka's
profile in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
Festival News
were asked to screen our film as part of the 4th
annual Roving Eye Documentary Film Festival.
That year the festival was on the campus of Roger Williams
University in Bristol, Rhode Island. The focus of the
festival is to bring innovative documentary programming
into local communities and to engage students, academics,
and community members in constructive dialogue.
recently returned from the Honolulu International
Film Festival, where we won a "Gold
Kahuna Award for Excellence in Filmmaking".
We held six screenings in Hawaii, and were especially
proud to be invited to President Obama's alma mater,
where we shared the film with over 275 of our future
here for all our screening dates. More developments to come...

More Bulbular Delights
Fernymoss took these shots this morning as the sun was pouring into the kitchen and was able to really capture some firepower from the tulips. They're really a great shade of red, and have yellowish interiors and though they're a bit small, probably because they've been forced, they'll look fabulous once they're established out in the front garden! As you can see, the Narcissus have done their thing and the Crocus are now just a memory, but we should get at least another week or so out of the tulips, hyacinth and remaining white squill. I gave them a light feeding a week or so ago, and as soon as they are done, we'll just let them die back naturally and water lightly until the foliage is ready to go. Then we'll find them a nice spot out front where we can plant the whole arrangement when the ground thaws (if it ever does!) later this spring and hope for the best next year.... No matter what, we've really enjoyed having them brighten the house even during this brief period ... though they were a bit pricey, they were well worth it! Oh, and the Primrose I have in the kitchen window has stopped blooming for the moment, but is doing quite well with the sun it gets there, so it should be able to hang in there until it can join its cousins out in the primrose bed by the steps....
Well, little Princess Hanna has been getting used to having a visitor around the past few days (until March 9) ... Fernymoss' parents are on a trip so we have their wonderful big girl Lacey staying with us! Lacey is a fantastic dog, just sweetness and obedience personified, and we're hoping she'll pass on plenty of "good dog tips" to Hanna while she's here. Lacey is only eight, but really graying quickly (as you can see in the photo below) and I swear that every time I see her she has gotten grayer! No matter, she is still a pretty lively dog for her age and is a joy to have around the house, and sometimes she's so quiet that it's easy to forget she's even here! We think she finds Hanna a bit of a "pawful" because she is so insistent on wanting to play with her, but when Lacey's in the mood to play, she's been really accommodating and she and Hanna have had some vigorous wrestle and snarl (all in play) sessions. But when Lacey's done, she just sits down and refuses to play anymore and that's when we have to call Hanna off. But being the good pup she is, she cooperates and calms down quickly, and then both of them usually take a nap to rest up for the next round....
Here we have the two girls posing by the table in the dining room ... I like this shot because it gives a much better idea of just how small Hanna is in comparison to other dogs ... of course Lacey weighs about 100 pounds and is one hefty girl (whereas Hanna weighs less than 20 pounds!) but Hanna could care less ... she loves playing with the big dogs. She may be small, but she's in no way intimidated by the big dogs! It will be interesting to see how she does with Lacey here for an extended visit ... she has shown a bit of mild territorial "pique" at first and of course is jealous of any attention Lacey gets (which is plenty), but we figure she'll just have to get over herself, as her place at the pinnacle of the house here is well assured. We think it's just a good step in her continuing socialization with other dogs that will pay off in the future. After all, she is still a puppy and learning every day, but thanks to her foster mom, she has a great start on becoming the really great dog she has every indication of being ... and we're learning along the way as well, so the experience is good for all of us!
Over the past 6 weeks we've had Hanna with us, we nicknamed her "Hanna the flying banana" because of the way she positively sails around the house when she's wound up ... she can go airborne in an instant and when she goes up the stairs she usually skips the last 3 and flies right into the upstairs hall. So, when I took this shot (while she was on my lap!), I immediately envisioned her sailing through the air with her ears pinned back. She's quite the jumper and several times today I saw her jump higher than Lacey ... she's a real "boing boing" cartoon type dog who can go vertical in a heartbeat, and though it's fun to watch, it's something we know we have to work with her on, because not everyone likes having a dog flying through the air at them! But for the moment we are enjoying her displays of exuberance and to her credit, she does tend to limit them to greetings and being told it's time for "walkies" so we're being indulgent for now. I'm sure that as she matures more, she'll learn when it's ok behavior (Pepa did eventually, and when she was young she was an amazing jumper too... even into her later years) and mellow out a bit.
I think we're all just getting impatient for Spring to arrive and going a bit stir crazy being inside all the time ... I know I am! We can't wait for warmer weather to arrive for real because we have some great activities planned for Hanna ... we've decided that since she likes to jump so much, we'd work with her on some basic agility activities such as jumping the hoop and perhaps going through a tunnel ... we'll have to improvise (I've priced the equipment and it's expensive!) a bit, but we don't have any intentions of having her compete, we just want to help her burn off the puppy energy and have some fun! Fernymoss has even dreamed up a way to make a course of "weave poles" for her using bamboo stakes, so we'll see what we can come up with to make the back yard an agility course for her. She's got the potential to excel at agility, so we might as well take advantage of that while she's young and in her formative days.... And as a final aside, she recently had her first encounter with a bunny in the back, and she was NOT amused. If she hadn't been on the leash, who knows what that bunny would have experienced! True to terrier/corgi form, she will not suffer rodents gladly ... which is something we're happy to see in her. After all, that's something that has bonded terriers with humans for centuries ... the instinct to go after vermin, and it's a strong instinct we shouldn't (and probably can't) discourage. At least the bunnies are on notice from now on out that even if Pepa is gone, they're not in the clear!
A final movie plug: Friday night we introduced Hanna to Wallace and Gromit: Curse of the Were Rabbit, mostly because we love that movie so much and we were curious as to what she'd think of it. Well, for Hanna it was pretty much a snooze-a-thon, but we enjoyed it as always! That film is so much fun on so many levels and every time we watch it, we get more of the the "in jokes" built into the script and background details. After all, you have to love a movie devoted to gardening and vegetables and battling bunnies ... and for me, the best smile comes from having a vegetable merchant named "Harvey's" with a giant carrot as their sign. I'm sure that kids under "a certain age" don't get the humor, but the reference to one of my favorite movies of all time always does it for me! If you haven't seen Wallace and Gromit, put it on your list and get ready for a veg-tastic time at the movies ... it's that good!

What great photos of the bulbs. The light coming from behind really makes them look luminous.
I used to teach my dogs to crawl. That was kind of fun when they got to the point they would 'crawl' across the kitchen floor like little comando dogs:) Catch was another favorite.
- Gail said...
IVG and Fernymoss, Beautiful capture on the tulips and friends. I love fresh flowers in the house....they make me smile. Speaking of smiling...Hannah is still as cute as can be. How did six weeks come and go so quickly!
We had a few pups as a kid but my mom was terrible at disciplining us and no way could she handle training a dog! The dogs were just out of control; so we switched to cats. I will enjoy hannah's antics and tricks with the hope that soon we see her in a video!
- FARfetched said...
Great job, Ferny - been taking lessons from Olivia?
You could probably find some substitute training toys for Hanna that could fit just about any budget… a piece of furnace duct might make a good tunnel, for example, just get some w/o fiberglass inside. Hoop? hula hoop from toy store, dirt cheap. Another energy-burner is "hike" — we had a scotty mix who loved that game. I would hike her through my legs, and she'd be off to the races, literally. Around a car, back around my front, get a burst of speed and try to get me to miss as she'd rocket through the legs again. Definitely an outdoor game… I could see Hanna going sideways trying to get traction on the floor!
Good for Hanna chasing off those bunnies… I'm trying to figure out a way to get Buster to stake out the garden (he's also getting a little grey, but not like Lacey). I might just set out a live trap and take any "catch" to one of the county parks about 10 miles from here. My in-laws would just stew 'em, on the principle "I will eat my vegetables through your meat." :-P
- boran2 said...
Those blooms are a welcome sight as I sit here pondering the continuing snow.
Does Hanna always have one ear up and the other down? It enhances the sweet puppy look. I wish that we could get a puppy for the b2 boy but his and madame's allergies unfortunately prevent this. Our turtle, although quite responsive just doesn't feel the same sitting in one's lap. ;-)
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hi Marnie,
I passed your compliment on the photos on to Fernymoss and he thanks you ...
No need to teach Hanna to crawl, because she's a natural at "going to ground." The other day her Kong rolled under the antique dresser we have in the living room and she just crawled under to retrieve it successfully!
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hi Gail,
Glad you like the flowers ... we're really enjoying them while they last, so glad to share!
It doesn't seem like six weeks already with Hanna, but she settled in so fast that time has just flown by.
About your mom and dogs ... that sounds chaotic! Made me think of the "Bumpus Hounds" from A Christmas Story!
Oh yes, there will be Hanna Banana videos to come when the weather gets better, so don't worry....
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hey FAR,
I passed along your compliment ... Fernymoss was really honored by the comparison.
Good suggestions on improvised training toys ... we already figured we'd just get a hula hoop, but hadn't thought of furnace duct ... we'll have to check that out, and definitely no fiberglass!
We might have to try "hike" but she already sort of does that on her own when she gets wound up.
We'd be just as happy if Hanna scared the bunnies away for good, because Pepa's bunny kills were not pretty!
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hi B2,
I was wondering if that big storm hit you guys up there ... hope it's not as bad for you as some of the other reports I read earlier today. Hang in there and hope it melts for you soon!
Hanna's "up" ear usually stays up but she does do fun things with both of them at times. The "up" ear is how the Corgi ears should be, so that's just a sign of her lineage, as well as the stocky chest and short legs. The rest is mostly the Jack Russell in her.
Too bad Madame B2 is allergic (that's why we have no cats because of me) ... maybe you could emulate the Obamas and get a Portuguese Water Dog, they're very hypo-allergenic, but kind of big guys. :-)
No doubt, no snuggling with a turtle in the lap!
- Dog_geek said...
I'm so jealous of your little bulb garden! Just last week I was out looking for any sign that our crocuses were coming up, and this week, everything is covered with snow!
I'm glad that Hannah and Lacey are having a good time. For cheap agility stuff, you can usually get used motorcycle tires for free from motorcycle shops (saves them the trouble of disposal) - then just wrap duct tape around, and voila, a tire jump!
And I just watched "Harvey" for the first time a few weeks ago with my dad!
- Mr. McGregor's Daughter said...
I just posted about my forced bulbs. I failed to note it, but I'm surprised at the size of the blooms on the forced 'Lydia' Tulips I have. I don't know if you would like them, as they are pink.
Hanna's jealousy of Lacey reminds me of my dogs. That's what happens when you get 2 females together. I also had to laugh about Hanna The Amazing Flying Dog. You must get her a Gumadisc so she can play frisbee. I bet she'd love it.
Curse of the Were Rabbit is one of the few DVDs we own. I just love it, but then I go for that quirky Brit. humor. My dogs never noticed the TV. They just didn't get it.
- FARfetched said...
Crawling… I have a funny story along those lines.
We had some curly-haired Australian Shepherd mix we called Duke a while back. Duke liked to crawl under the Jeep Cherokee we had at the time (this was, oh, 1988 or so). One morning he didn't climb out from underneath when we left and he got a paw caught under the tire. He made one heck of a racket, of course, and was usually pretty good about getting out from under when we came out the door afterwards.
One morning, we hopped in and started the Jeep. Immediately we heard Arf! *bonk* Arf! *bonk* Arf! *bonk* and he finally shot out from under. He was so hot to get out from under there that he kept whacking himself against the bottom of the Jeep. We hadn't even put the thing in reverse yet, and were laughing our butts off.
So someone dumped a litter of pups out there, and we would see him round them up and pin them against the side of the house when we drove up.
- Shady Gardener said...
IVG, I'd forgotten you were growing bulbs indoors. When I saw those beautiful flowers, my first thought was "last year's photos..." and then, "No, way!" Now That's the way to welcome Spring. And you'll be able to plant them a little later, what a good deal! Say, I had one little tiny early crocus blooming yesterday (really!). Yea!
Our dog is nearly 15 years old. He's slowed up quite a bit, but after he's been outdoors and I take off his leash, he runs down the hall and back a couple of times just to show he's still young at heart! :-)
- CONEFLOWER said...
Hello IVG and Fernymoss. Love your indoor blooms. Such welcome color.
I've started some seeds now and the lettuce is up and growing like crazy, I can also see some teeny weeny chives. In the front garden, my tulips planted last fall are peeking through.
The boy cardinals are squaring off at each other on my front deck while little lady demurely sits nearby.
I guess Spring has sprung. Hooray!!!!
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hi Dog Geek,
No signs of crocus here yet, though we've had some moderating of the weather and a LOT of rain this weekend. I'm hoping that will wake things up a bit, but then we're headed back into the 30s this week, so who knows! We are, however, seeing our first snowdrops up in the back garden, but nothing out front.
I should have known you'd have ideas about agility! The tire idea is a good one and we may check that out, but until she decides she likes this activity (I think she will), we'll probably just start with a cheap hula hoop. After all, she's small and that's cheap enough for starters.
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
OH, PS Dog Geek... duh ... hope you enjoyed "Harvey" it's a classic, and I should pull that one out myself sometime soon when I need a lift!
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hi MMD,
I'll have to get over your way and check out your bulbs! Hope your primrose is doing well ... ours has quit blooming but it is looking good!
Hanna has gotten over her initial jealousy now (that Lacey is leaving in 2 days) and they are good buddies now. They have been snarling, wrestling and otherwise playing around a lot the past few days. Hanna manages to wear Lacey out but she's always ready for more. How can we bottle that puppy energy? I want some!!
Not surprised you like Were Rabbit ... it's such a great gardener's film! So many little fun jokes one picks up on time and again and one liners -- I think my fave is "Last night my wife's brassicas were ravaged!"
Also quite fun to see that Gromit graduated from "Dogwarts Academy" !!!
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hey FAR,
That's quite the tale of woe for that dog! Amazing he didn't get crushed at one point! He sounded like a nice dog though if rounded up those pups ... I don't suppose you kept them?
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hi Shady,
Our flowers are starting to look a bit ragged, but they've been a great bright spot in the house the past few weeks. We're indeed going to plant them outside once they die back and keep them more or less in the arrangement they came in, just to remember them in future years.
We have some courageous snowdrops blooming now (not nearly all of them) but no crocus yet!
Glad to hear your dog still has the spirit in him! That's all that matters ... if you want amazing energy, just wait till you eventually meet Hanna! She and Lacey have both been crazy dogs tonight!
- Iowa Victory Gardener said...
Hi Coneflower,
Aren't those blooms great? Love the red of the tulips and the smell of the hyacinth was soooo nice a week or so ago ... all gone now, alas.
Good luck on your seeds! We haven't gotten anything started yet but need to get a few things going here for next month. Do you think your lettuce will last to be transplanted? You may want to try some outside too real early and see what happens.
We may plant some greens this year in window boxes again ... we can't trust the rabbits not to eat it if it's in the ground! But maybe Hanna will help scare them away!

Balance of Terror is like a Chipotle burrito: Sinfully yummy...but so stuffed with ingredients that it's close to bursting open like Kane after his run-in with the facehugger. Not only is Balance of Terror a thinly disguised WWIIU-boat versus destroyer yarn, it's also a cautionary tale about racism. If that weren't enough, there's also a message thrown in about the futility of war: War is bad, mkay?
Romulan Bird-of-Prey, the 23rd century's answer to the U-boat
As in many of the early Star Trek episodes, we're treated to the spectacle of Spock using logic to justify kicking some ass; in this case, he points out that showing weakness in the face of Romulan aggression will only result in interstellar war. Thus, to avoid war, the Enterprise crew must pursue and destroy the Romulan Bird of Prey that has encroached upon Federation space.
Logic dictates, captain, that we open up a can of whoop-ass on the Romulans
After his turn as Mr. Sensitivity in The Conscience of the King, Spock reverts to type as the coldly logical Vulcan, cutting the bigoted Stiles short during his clumsy (and roundabout) attempt at an apology for his earlier racism by pointing out that Spock saving his life was dictated entirely by Stiles's value to the Enterprise's crew as a highly trained navigator. Or maybe Spock being short with Stiles had nothing to do with logic and everything to do with him being peeved by the latter's bigotry.

Heaven Canceller (冥土帰し)Often mentioned as "the Frog-Faced Doctor" by Touma, he is an exceptionally gifted and benevolent physician who can cure any illness and heal any injury, even if it is terminal. He is only unable to heal specific brain-related injuries, such as the "Imagine-Breaker Boy's" damaged memories and Accelerator's computation ability. However, in the latter case he was able to configure Accelerator to control his powers with support from the Misaka Network. This medical genius also manages the life extension devices for the ruler of the Academy City, Aleister Crowley, while also supporting the foundation of the city itself.

a couple of grandkids . . .
Since I would like to learn to draw people better, maybe I should start with all the photos our kids send us. It seems much harder to capture a likeness of those we love, so the challenge would be good practice.
Quen loves wearing button-down shirts, REAL ties knotted loosely, and cool hats. Don't know where he gets it but he has very distinct ideas regarding fashion, but it certainly fits his love of musical instruments. Maybe he'll be a cool jazz musician someday.
Jayna has had long hair "forever" --- she was born with a full head of it. But she wanted to give it away to Locks of Love, like her mommy did last year. So Carrie cut it off for her --- just in time to start gymnastics! Probably much easier without hair in her face.

tulips from a friend

Bill's tulips
Four of them came up this year . . . . true to form, our "tulip thief" stole one --- this person only takes one at a time over several days.
So last week, I cut the remaining tulips and brought them inside so BILL could enjoy them instead of the thief. And later the same day, a wind averaging around 60 MPH came up --- it would have torn them apart!
* the rest of the story:
Sometime this morning, Bearcat jumped on the table (where he is not allowed) to sniff the tulips (he loves flowers!), knocking the vase over and breaking them apart! I just had to laugh.

up and downs of life
Sort of like us. In life, it's much more exciting to go forward when we are feeling "up". Harder to function on the down side.

sketchercise from last week
This and the sketches below were done after taking Ceilidh on one of our small daily "walkabouts" --- she is slowly getting the hang of walking on a lead. I'm looking forward to longer walks with her but until her third shot we are avoiding other dog's areas.
And this is what happens to the 7 wild tulips in our yard every year. We may dig them up this time and place them closer to the building.
("wild" in that we didn't plant them -- they are placed very irregularly in the side yard --- they have unusually short stems of only a couple of inches.)

75 day challenge is finished!
I am very glad I took the challenge from Brenda Swenson (to do one ink sketch a day for 75 days with no pencil under-drawing first). I have noticed a "lightening up" in my attitude -- I'm not as concerned as I used to be about the finished product looking exactly as seen in my mind. Now it's more drawing for the joy of it.

I'm also having a hard time getting just the right black mixture to use for her. Here, I've tried various blends from ultramarine, burnt umber, lunar blue, or burnt sienna.

Lady Gaga Tweets Unused Kendrick Lamar Collabo No, it's not "Partynauseous," the long-buzzed, still-unheard song that didn't make the cut on good kid, m.A.A.d city, but rather a version of the album track "B-tch Don't Kill My Vibe" featuring Gaga on the hook. It isn't bad, but the album isn't worse off for this omission. Listen here:
