Kodak Ektachrome VS (35mm, 100 iso) User-Review7 10 Share Tweet
The finest analogue creature made by Kodak ever! It's the awesome little Kodak Ektachrome VS!
The last time I went to the photo lab to process my films, the staff there recommended this film to me. Without referring to any of the example shots made with this film, I decided to purchase a roll of it, and give myself some surprises.
The result of this film is just simply mesmerizing. Somehow the film plays a role of 'emphasizing' the colors. It makes the blue to be more peaceful, the yellow to be more joyful, the red to be more sexy and the orange to be more energizing! The film doesn't left out a single thing, it makes everything in the picture outstanding. It's definitely a good companion to be with your camera when you're anywhere, be it boarding on a plane, walking on the street or even laying on the beach.
Grab a roll of this awesome film (like I did) and get ready to be amazed!

In one month, Tim Burton latest film – Dark Shadows – reaches the screen from Warner Bros.
Will audiences take to the director's ghoulish menagerie of humor, horror and Burton-esque weirdness during the summer movie season? We will soon find out. The trailer has certainly received a divisive reaction from fans of the Dark Shadows television show, however, I have spoken to those – who are not fans of the show – that are interested in seeing Burton return to form and they think this film might do the trick.
That said, six new images from the film – starring Johnny Depp as Barnabas Collins – have popped up, once again, at international site Kinopoisk.
After the jump, check out the pics which, sure, show us the stars, but I think these images are a terrific sampling of the photography and production design.

DODD FRANK FOR TODAY's INVESTOR
by attorney Harry Borders
Here's the GOOD NEWS… Investor buyers can STILL get financing from any source they want.
Here's the TERRIBLE news… Owner occupant buyers now have lots of restrictions place on who they can get a loan from.
These new rules impact "contract for deeds" and "Land Contracts" as well as seller retained mortgages (and, of course, the ever present contract for deed in disguise as a lease-option) and private financing.
So, assuming an owner occupant wants to obtain a loan from a source other than a bank or mortgage company, here are the new rules.
If the lender only lends once in a 12 month period, the lender:
a) MUST be a "natural" person (i.e. not an LLC or corporation);
b) MUST have owned the property (i.e. no private financing, only owner financing);
c) MUST NOT have built the home in the ordinary course of his/her business;
d) MUST NOT have a negative amortization;
e) MUST be for at least 5 years, and if longer and adjustable, must be tied to an index rate, such as Libor
If the lender lends 2 to 3 times in a 12 month period, the lender MAY be an LLC or corporation. But the lender also:
a) MUST have owned the property (i.e. no private financing, only owner financing);
b) MUST NOT have built the home in the ordinary course of his/her business;
c) MUST NOT have a negative amortization;
d) MUST be FULLY AMORTIZED;
e) if the rate is adjustable, it must be fixed for at least 5 years, and it must be tied to an index rate, such as Libor; and
f) MUST determine in good faith that the consumer has a reasonable ability to repay the loan (similar to what a loan officer would do).
If the lender lends more than 3 times in a 12 month period,
all of the above requirements for a lender lending 2 to 3 times in a 12 month period apply and
IN ADDITION, the lender MUST BE A LICENSED LOAN OFFICER.
As you can see, navigating the waters of seller financing has again become tricky.
Please check with your real estate attorney before embarking on a seller financing transaction for a dwelling.
Until next time, peace,
Harry Borders
P.S. Your simple solution to stay out of trouble is to never offer seller financing to any tenant / buyer or owner occupant. You can use Seller Financing to sell to other Investors, not owner occupants.

SAN FRANCISCO — American cities--almost all of which are or will be caught up in the human and economic devastation of AIDS--are being urged to look here for a lesson in how comparatively inexpensive compassion can do better than high-tech, big-bucks medicine.
The San Francisco approach, a major national foundation argues, may save public health departments, hospitals and other health centers across the country from the economic calamity imposed by treating victims of AIDS--acquired immune deficiency syndrome.
The people who run the first-of-its-kind AIDS unit at San Francisco General Hospital say that there is a larger message in this, too--one that may eventually alter some of the basic U.S. philosophy of medical economics, which seems to say that the most expensive type of treatment is always the best.
Grants Program
The economic lesson to be exported from San Francisco is this, according to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, which on Thursday announced in Washington that it is putting up $17.5 million in grants to 10 cities to develop their own financially sound AIDS treatment programs:

Superbad (R)
Carmike 10, Chapel Hills 15, Cinemark 16, Tinseltown
Given the success of Wedding Crashers, The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up, it's starting to feel official: We've given ourselves social sanction, as thinking adults, to giggle at the fact that someone just said "balls."
Especially when the onscreen smut somehow comes off as, well, smart.
Still, there's a thin line between smart juvenilia and plain silliness and Superbad weaves back and forth across it like Lindsay Lohan at a traffic stop. Produced by Judd Apatow (director of Virgin and Knocked Up), it marks the first script by Seth Rogen (Apatow's Knocked Up star) and Evan Goldberg (Rogen's childhood friend from Vancouver).
It's not hard to see a bit of autobiography, or at least wish-fulfillment, in the story of high school seniors Seth (Jonah Hill) and Evan (Arrested Development's Michael Cera). Soon to be attending separate colleges, the two best friends are looking for one last hurrah by supplying alcohol to an end-of-year party hosted by one of their school's cool girls (Emma Stone). As they see it, liquor to be obtained by their geeky pal Fogell (Christopher Mintz-Plasse) and his brand-new fake ID is just the lubricant they need to speed their trip down the road to lost virginity.
Thus begins an odyssey that plays like a cross-breeding of all-night travelogue (think Harold & Kumar Go to White Castle), end-of-school reminiscence (think Dazed & Confused, Can't Hardly Wait) and cherry-popping quest (think American Pie). True to its roots, Superbad cranks the raunchiness level about as high as it can go in a movie with no actual nudity.
Many of the finest moments come from Seth's septic tank of a mouth. At times, he's breathtakingly hilarious. At other times like some of the rest of Superbad he's just a bit too much. One of Seth's finest tirades comes during a home economics class, in which he swears at and insults his teacher only to be rewarded with a chance to have a hot babe as his project partner.
Superbad loses its way when, in its quest for any potentially shocking gag, it steps into a realm where the characters' behavior isn't even remotely plausible. Sure, you can introduce a pair of dim-witted cops (Rogen and Saturday Night Live's Bill Hader) who like brandishing their guns and getting drunk on the job, but you can't expect the humor to pack the same wallop as material based on the awkward exploration of something fundamentally real.
Not that Superbad doesn't also deliver awkwardness in spades. Cera, one of the most instantly endearing young actors since John Cusack, gets some terrific moments in his flailing attempts to hook up with his dream girl (Martha MacIsaac). And Mintz-Plasse is stuck for large chunks of the movie in the subplot featuring the two cops. Don't be surprised if, even as you're cringing, you're also laughing a whole lot.
Then again, you might be laughing a bit less than you'd prefer, especially if you're expecting something as uproarious as The 40-Year-Old Virgin and Knocked Up.
Even those of us who groove to four-letter humor can have standards. There's nothing wrong with laughing at gags pitched below the beltline, but there's also nothing wrong with recognizing that not all dick jokes are created equal. email@example.com

The Booth Rock Trail is deemed a difficult trail, but it's only 5.1 KM long, and when I read the reviews on Trip Advisor I knew this was the hike we wanted to take. Besides, we'd been even given coupons for day pass parking at Ontario parks in Molly and Jack's report cards, so what could go wrong?
We had forgotten exactly how much rainfall Ontario had seen this spring. This meant what was normally dry conditions sometimes mirrored a swamp for kms on end. This meant climbing around bogs, black flies, and more than a couple of soakers. We ran into a family around KM 1 who were turning back and suggested we do the same.
We asked the kids if they wanted to earn their adventure badges for the day, and it turns out they were up for the challenge, just like their stubborn mom and dad.
|Beauty & the Bog
|The Rock With A View
By the time our hike was complete Molly and I both had to take off our shoes for the car ride home because they were so caked in mud, and I'm not going to lie, everyone was getting a little cranky towards the end. It was hard to stop and take a breather, other than enjoying the beautiful view from the top of the hike, because otherwise the bugs wouldn't stop gnawing at you. But the kids didn't really complain, which meant it would be unfair for the adults to.
|The climb
|The Mossy Rock That Chris claimed used to be an ogre
The only creatures we saw, other than a few other hikers, were bugs, birds, frogs, and chipmunks, although we did come across a big pile of bear droppings that made us pay extra close attention to our surroundings.
When the minions got tired and were on the verge of complaining Chris told them fairy tales, that he impressively made up on the spot, and I had Molly talk about what type of treat she wanted to reward herself for completing such a grown-up hike. She eventually landed on freezies
|Even in the heat long sleeves were a necessity.
With the current muddy condition of this trail I wouldn't recommend it to anyone under about 10 years old, that being said I'm glad we did it, and I'm so incredibly proud of Molly and Jack who stopped us complaining for two and a half hours through the wilderness. Added bonus, we got to check one of our three summer hikes off of our summer bucket list.
|The stuff postcards are made of
|So proud of my little ones enjoying a snack at the top of our climb

Learn more about our Early Childhood Program:
Transitional Kindergarten
The Early Childhood Years are a time when children develop a sense of belonging, self-worth, and self-esteem–essential elements that form the foundation on which all learning is built. At Lesley Ellis we believe that all children are naturally curious, capable learners. The Lesley Ellis Emergent Curriculum Philosophy is one that builds upon the interests of the children. We do not separate the curriculum into discreet blocks of time for math, language, etc. Rather, children learn about themselves and the world around them through investigation and discovery, as well as art, dramatic play, and social interaction.
This philosophy has four essential elements:
Our preschool and prekindergarten classrooms offer a "just right" space for our youngest learners, while our transitional kindergarten classroom helps students transition into a more structured learning environment and support a growing sense of autonomy. Exploration and discovery are encouraged and peer interactions are promoted, fostering feelings of belonging and community. Multiple outdoor options offer unique play opportunities.
Teachers serve as nurturer, guide, and partner in learning and discovery. They are valued for their experience and ideas, acting as co-constructors of knowledge and learning alongside the children.
Teachers listen and observe children's play carefully. Photography, video, and written notes document children's work and representations of thinking. Our teachers are committed to reflecting on their practice and continuously adjusting the program.
Our Project Approach is an open-ended, in-depth study of an everyday topic. These are child-initiated active learning experiences. Children feel ownership over their learning, which in turn creates motivated learners who can grow as individuals and collaborators.

EDITOR: AN INSIDE STORY OF NEWSPAPERS- Buy it here
In February 2002 Max Hastings retired from his position as a 'Fleet Street' Editor. His is an enormously illustrious career which started in 1985, when he was offered the Editorship of a national institution – the Daily Telegraph – in a surprise move by its owners. This candid memoir tells the story of what happened to him, and to a great newspaper, over the next decade.It is all here: the rows with prime ministers, the coverage of great events, the daily routine. Max Hastings describes his complex relationship with his proprietor, Conrad Black. He offers an extraordinary perspective on the decline of John Major, the troubles of the Royal Family, the difficulties of dealing with lawyers and celebrities, statesmen and stars. It is above all the story of the excitement and exhilaration of almost 10 years at the helm of one of the greatest newspapers in the world.

Gruyère Gougères- Nothing Says "Celebration" Like a Cheese Puff
I made these gougères (pronounced goo-ZHAIR) with Gruyère cheese for the Oscars last weekend. Just because I'm not a movie star doesn't mean I can't pop open some sparkling wine and have an Oscar soirée in my living room. That's the beautiful thing about food…it is an equal opportunity luxury.
Gougères are made with pâte à choux (paht-ah-SHOO), a simple French pastry dough that is also used to make cream puffs. Gougères, however, are a savory hors d'oeuvre that I would describe as the most fabulous cheese balls you'll ever eat. They get very crisp on the outside, but stay moist, soft and airy on the inside thanks to the steam produced by their high water content and the buttery, eggy dough. They are the ultimate match, in my opinion, for a dry Champagne (brut) with toasty, yeasty flavors or—as I've heard wine reviewers describe it—with notes of brioche.
My philosophy is that we need to make as many celebrations in life as we can, from an overrated awards show to an intimate Sunday brunch, to Friday night (ANY Friday night). I was celebrating before we even opened the bubbly because making these gougères made me feel like a sophisticated French pastry chef. They are really easy to put together, but that's no reason not to feel triumphant. And because I did not have to squeeze into a sample size Versace gown to walk the red carpet, I ate a rather celebratory number of these addictive little tasties!
Gruyère Gougères
Adapted from this recipe at Epicurious.com
You can serve these golden little puffs as they are or cut them horizontally and use as crudite. I sautéed a pint of sliced mushrooms in olive oil and butter, added a couple splashes of sherry and stirred in sour cream, and used it as a topper for my gougères. I saw Sam something similar on her blog, Becks and Posh, and I think it is a brilliant idea. If you don't have gruyère, another firm, slightly salty cheese will work fine. I think good cheddar, Parmigiano or Pecorino-Romano would be delicious.
Makes 40 1 1/2 inch gougères
1 c. water
½ c. butter
¼ tsp. salt
¼ tsp. sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs
2/3 c. grated gruyère cheese, lightly packed
1 tsp. dry mustard powder
cayenne pepper, a couple dashes or to taste
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Add the water to a medium saucepan over medium heat. When the water is hot (steaming, but not boiling), add the butter, salt and sugar. Stir occasionally until the butter is completely melted. Lower the heat and stir the butter mixture with a wooden spoon vigorously as you gradually add the flour. Keep stirring vigorously until the mixture comes to together and starts forming a tacky ball in the pan.
Turn the dough out into a large mixing bowl. With an electric mixer, beat in the eggs, one at a time on medium speed. You want the dough to be smooth, firm and waxy. I have always used two large eggs, but the original recipe on epicurious.com says you may need an additional egg. If your dough is not smooth after beating in two eggs, you may want to add an extra egg, or half an egg. It is important that the dough is firm enough to stand up in round balls when you spoon it onto a cookie sheet without spreading. It should be as firm as cookie dough, but it is much softer and lighter. The sticky, waxy quality is unique and you will know it when you see it. Just go with your instincts, and the dough will come out fine.
After you are done adding the eggs, use a wooden spoon to stir in the cheese, mustard and cayenne. Spoon small one inch balls of dough onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes. The gougeres are done when they are lightly browned on top and brown on the bottom. As soon as you take them out of the oven, use a sharp, thin knife (like a paring knife) to poke a small slit in the side of each puff. This will release some of the hot air inside and prevent the puffs from "sweating" and losing their crispness. Serve warm or at room temperature.

You really do make it sound doable. It's great that they're baked. The mushrooms are perfect!
Beautiful photos!
- Patricia Scarpin said...
These gougeres remind me of Brazilian "pão de queijo" - delicious!
- Shawnda said...
Looks fabulous!
- Lis said...
These look wonderful! I just found a similar recipe the other day and printed it because I must make these. Quite frankly though, I'd do 'em up with iced tea, Pepsi, milk, water, cheap wine - yanno, just in case I didn't have the champagne around? hehehee
- Christine said...
What an inspiration! I used to make cream puffs years ago but somehow, more recently, found the idea of making gougeres a bit daunting. Silly me! You make it sound so easy! Love your photos.
- Julie said...
Tanna: You know, I didn't even think about this, but they do have all the crispiness and cheesiness of something fried, but they're not--it's the butter that makes them so good.
Patricia: Did I ever tell you my sister lives in Brazil? I want to visit her and experience all your wonderful food.
Shawnda: Thanks!
Lis: You crack me up--you know i could recommend some beers that have hints of toast and yeast...
Christine: You know, I never would have thought to make cream puffs before I made these! They are so easy considering how much satisfaction (and deliciousness) you get for your efforts. I'm glad the photos did them justice!

Chapter 28 – To The Alamo!
I ordered one platoon to stay at the fort, along with Miss Linton, Professor's Boas and Edgren, and the wounded. I would then lead the remaining men by the most direct route to the station in town. The Iska Mahayi would fly low, overhead to provide reconnaissance and fire support. My force consisted of 5 platoons of U.S. infantry and cavalry (dismounted), the remainder of the U.S. Martian Scouts, a 1.65" Hotchkiss mountain gun, and the Iska Mahayi with the Gatling gun and various Martian weapons. Jordak stayed aboard the ship to command the native artillery.
We moved forward in skirmish order to cross the field from our fort to the town proper. Our flying ship was slightly ahead of our line, covering our advance and looking for the enemy. The first line of buildings appeared unoccupied, but we continued our cautious advance, fearing an ambush.
As the Iska Mahayi passed over the first line of buildings, they signaled the all clear so we hurried up to the edge of town. From here, I divided my force into two columns. Lieutenant Coleman took three platoons to advance up the right hand street while I took the remaining two platoons and the scouts up the left hand street. This way we would be less densely packed in a single street.
We cautiously advanced up the street to the next block and met no resistance.I looked down the cross street to my right and saw Lieutenant Coleman, who also met no resistance. I signaled for Coleman to move forward as I, likewise, did. As we entered the next block, all hell broke loose. As we neared the end of the next block, we were greeted with a tremendous hail of gunfire. I saw several men go down.
Though it was probably unnecessary, I ordered the men to take cover and return fire. A brisk firefight ensued, but the enemy were well concealed, and we were making little headway. I was contemplating a headlong rush of the enemy's stronghold, when I caught the sound of our Gatling gun fire coming up from behind. Bullets raked the hostile parapet from side to side, but only a few of our foe fell.
The Iska Mahayi stopped directly over the enemy's fortification, then commenced a rapid ascent. By this I was baffled, but I continued our fusillade upon the bastion. I also watched our airship climb higher into the sky. It finally stopped its ascent and shortly thereafter two large barrels were dropped over the side. The barrels plummeted to earth to be dashed to bits inside the courtyard of the hostile building. A great plume of yellow-red dust rose over the structure. Suddenly the doors of the enemy base flew open and troops came pouring out from all sides, followed by clouds of dust.
I jumped up to begin a pursuit of the enemy, when Bully came from nowhere and knocked me to the ground. I heard Chronto yell an order to his men, and they promptly fell to earth and covered their heads. Realizing something was amiss, I ordered my company to the ground as well. I turned to look toward Lieutenant Coleman's detachment, and most of the men I saw were going prone as well.
I was about to address Chronto when a tremendous explosion rocked the city. A ball of fire
rose high above the structure lifting debris and unfortunate souls with it. Jets of flame shot out the doors, flinging the fleeing men against the wall of the opposing building where they laid in a burning heap. The barrels dropped from the skyship were filled with fine baridium powder Upon the barrels bursting, the powder rapidly dispersed throughout the enemy's building. A spray of water was released from the Iska Mahayi which reacted violently with thw baridium, causing the explosion.
Once things quit shaking, we stood up, still dazed and confused. Some time passed before we fully regained our senses. I then sent a runner over to Lieutenant Coleman to ascertain his situation. I then looked around to determine the extent of the damage to my own command. I found two of my men killed and four others injured. Chronto reported three scouts dead and five wounded. Colemen lost four killed and seven wounded.
I ordered the Lieutenant to rejoin me and bring his casualties. When this was done, I ordered ten of the scouts to help the wounded back to the fort, then come back for the dead. Chronto, and the rest of his men were to join Coleman, myself, and our men to push on toward our station. Once these arrangements were made, we pressed on.
We proceeded cautiously, but found the next couple of blocks devoid of Reytik's soldiers. I could see our ship several blocks ahead, harassing the fleeing enemy with the Gatling gun and the Martian artillery. As we continued, we encountered small groups of Reytik's soldiers. However, these men did not stay in the fight long. After a brief exchange of gunfire, they would fly up the street to their next place of refuge.
We finally came upon a large group of hostiles, congregated in a building near our station. It appeared that they were planning an assault on our besieged garrison. I scanned the sky above, but saw no sign of the Iska Mahayi. I did not have enough men to take the enemy position by storm, so I needed another plan.
I ordered Lieutenant Coleman to take our men up on to the roof on the building across from the enemy and begin to lay down covering fire. With the Scouts and my artillery crew, I constructed a hasty parapet. Behind this, I positioned the mountain gun. Once in position, the gun began to play upon the closest enemy tower.
Our shots tolled immediately. It was not long before the building was perforated with nearly a dozen holes. About this time, I heard the sound of the little Colt machineguns opening a fire on the government's stronghold. This kept the enemy down and made their fire ineffectual, however, it also made it difficult for our own riflemen to make any shots.
We continued to pummel the enemy's position with our cannon. As round after round pounded the stronghold, I noticed that the same yellow-red dust began to fill the air that was produced from the barrels dropped by our ship. I deduced that we were shelling their magazine. I ordered the sergeant to continue firing at the building while I went into the building in search of a way to deliver water to the enemy fortress. Inside, I found several long poles, akin to bamboo, some rope, a large tub, and four large crockery jars used for transporting liquid goods.
I called in the Scouts for help. I sent two to filling the jars with water and the rest to transporting the other material to the roof. On the roof, I had the Scouts construct an 'A' frame structure, their utilitarian swords making short work of cutting the poles and rope to length. Using two more poles I constructed a forked lever and to the forked in I attached the tub. Two thirds down the length of the lever I anchored the fulcrum and on the short end of the lever I tied two lengths of rope.
With all of the parts of our makeshift catapult build, I assembled the final construction. With some men holding up the 'A' frames, I had three more men lift the lever and place the fulcrum into the 'V' notches atop the frame. As I completed the final adjustments, the Scouts came up with the water jars.
I placed the first jar into the tub. I had five men on each of the ropes. I ordered the men to heave. They pulled the ropes and the lever went up. The jar flew from the tub and crashed harmlessly into the street.
"Men," I said, "you'll need to run back pulling the ropes in order to gain enough velocity"
I placed the second jar into the tub and ordered the heave. Unfortunately, having Earthmen on one rope and Martians on the other did not work. The men became entangled and the jar fell from the tub at my feet, shattering.
I ordered only Martians to man the ropes, while my men held the frame in place. The third
jar went into the tub. I ordered the men to heave and the Martians got off a clean run. I saw the jar fly through the air but heard no report other than our mountain gun.
jar went into the tub. I ordered the men to heave and the Martians got off a clean run. I saw the jar fly through the air but heard no report other than our mountain gun.
Private Horn, who was still providing covering fire called back, "It went too far, Colonel!"
We were down to our last jar. I moved to the parapet to see the results of our final attempt. The jar was in the tub, so I ordered the heave. The Martians pulled the ropes cleanly and the jar took off. I could tell from the start that it was going long again, and my heart sank. Then Private Horn popped up and fired a shot. The jar bursted and the contents rained down on the enemy fort.
I ordered everyone to the ground and fell to the floor as well. This was immediately followed by a loud explosion. A fireball leapt into the air. I looked over the parapet to see the tower collapse, followed by the two adjoining corridors. I could also see the occupants of the damaged structure fleeing in panic. I looked over to our station and could see the defenders cheering and waving their hats in the air. With that we quit our positions and advanced to the station.

Judy Martin presented her metaphysical talk to appreciative gatherings on both days of the festival. Afterwards, many attempted to match her slow gait along the river walk in Kagawong, Manitoulin Island Ontario Canada.
Elemental Festival 2
Manitoulin Island Canada
October 1 (4:45 pm and October 2 (1 pm) 2016
What follows is almost the complete text of her talk.
Elemental Festival 2
Manitoulin Island Canada
October 1 (4:45 pm and October 2 (1 pm) 2016
What follows is almost the complete text of her talk.
My daily outdoor walk is a rhythm, a routine, a line of steps. My foot steps are like stitches. I am sewing myself to this place. I am connecting to my rural area and my life here on Manitoulin. To turn this into an art project, I began to mark each walk by moving a square of white cloth into a basket. My walk is 1 km to Cricket Hill and 1 km back home again. 1 km is 1250 steps.
Big projects attract me. I like to be absorbed in a piece for years, allowing it to be part of my daily routine. I am making a 1 km path with marks like running stitches that represents my footprint and my gait.
On May 3, I was unable to do my walk as my left leg developed so much pain.
On May 19 I began to sew instead of walk, using up fabrics that I have collected and saved over my life time to sew 1 km of patchwork. I thought that this will be a fabric piece about my daily walk but also about my sewing practice and used a chain stitch method to create half square triangles. I began to love admire the strong chains that were coming forth and sewed every day rather than walked every day with cloth I have collected for 40 years. Each piece of cloth has its own story. (father's hospita gown , silk from commission etc)
The cloth seemed like a luminous halo that represented my life. My walking piece was morphing into a life path. Virginia Woolf said: Life is not a series of gig lamps symmetrically arranged; life is a luminous halo, a semi-transparent envelope surrounding us from the beginning of consciousness to the end.
This project became less about my daily walk on Manitoulin and more about an accumulation of moments of life itself. A long orderly path of cloth purchased for projects, some made, some not. A life of stepping over and through hurdles and burdens, joys and unexpected visions. My leg kept me from doing the walk on the road, but not from sewing the road. The path I was piecing had to do with mortality and summing up and about stitching my Self together.
I couldn't bear weight on my left leg to make the steps but I could sew a soft cloth path that was giving me strength. Van Gogh said that colour has power over line. Line may be the language of reason but colour is sensuality itself. Making a path of memory and colour with the sewing machine's walking foot, resting my painful leg. A path that shows how it FEELS to be alive.
On May 31 Ned bought me a cane.
On June 5 the leg broke.
My left femur just broke with spontaneous spiral fracture. A clean break, it was mended with surgery with a titanium nail from hip to knee, inserted into the bone marrow so that the bone would grow around it.
It was my daughter who said they looked like bones.
The walking piece had morphed again. I am using the chain sritched luminous halo cloth triangle-squares to space the foot-steps / broken bones / running stitches together in a long line, not 1 km yet, but getting there. This project shows faith in the future and faith in myself.
Working with materials reveals me to myself. I understand my life and healing through making. Eastern cultures believe that the act of joining small pieces together embodies a wish for a long life. Physical and spiritual are combined in my path. The bone wrappings might represent the body, but they also yield a mystery. What is inside? What is inside that wrapping we wonder. Is it the spirit?
The chains of half square triangles, dark and light, red and black, old clothing and new velvet are sewn together only to be eventually split apart. When split, they show that they indeed joined. When strung together they make a strong chain and give space for the body-mystery to move along.
Step step step. My body – spirit steps into the future. Over and over and over, every day, every day , every day. The birds and the clouds in the sky, the ground beneath my feet, the ditches that change through the seasons, the neighbours that I smile greetings at, we all move along it.
I use my cane now. I do my shortened daily walk, moving through pain. Not thinking but moving. Just being. This piece is not narrative. It is essentialist. It is about being.

You know how you get so familiar with something, you stop really noticing it? And you know how sometimes you say yes to what you know will take Big Courage?
That's what happened in Bedford, outside London. We were staying with fabulous Kate, who we met in Thailand at the elephant sanctuary, wondering where we might volunteer. Riley suggested we volunteer at a homeless shelter. He had a really great experience doing that in New Orleans last summer with his youth group.
So we located a shelter in town and discovered the kids were too young to volunteer there. We were referred to the Salvation Army, a few blocks down the street.
We were greeted at the Salvation Army by Kevin, the Operations Officer. We told him about our trip and our desire to volunteer. He gave it a little thought and said, "You know we have a lunch on Tuesdays where you could help set and serve the food to our elderly group." We agreed and had a good laugh when we learned that the elderly were people over 60. John turned 65 in March.
Later, Kevin emailed me to ask if we could also speak to the group that day. The scheduled speaker had cancelled. We said yes before fear could get us to say no. In the days that followed, we had some OMG moments. One of us would look at the others and ask, "What in the world are we doing? We've never done anything like this before. What will we say?"
Tuesday arrived, and we were back with Kevin at 9 AM. He told us the history of the Salvation Army, which somehow had escaped me all these years of rubbing shoulders with the organization in the States. Founders William and Catherine Booth had a mission to serve the poor, destitute and hungry by meeting both their "physical and spiritual needs." This inspired me, because it is what I truly believe about service. It is about taking action, not just preaching about it, but actually doing something about it.
After setting tables, meeting and getting to know the wonderful guests, helping to prepare food and wash dishes, we took the stage to make our first presentation as a family.
We had a blast. We each shared stories, pictures, and lessons learned. A moment I will never forget is Allison breaking through her paralyzing fear of public speaking. You may know that Alli is bravely overcoming speech challenges caused by a neurosarcoid at age 2. When it was her turn, she took the mic, did a deep inhale, and spent several minutes confidently speaking about the wonderful people she has met on our trip. The group rewarded her courage with an outpouring of love and support.
We ended with questions and answers and left the experience with a huge sense of gratitude and awe over being able to serve and be with such incredible people, many of whom had spent their lives volunteering with Salvation Army in foreign countries and at home.
I have a new appreciation and respect for the Salvation Army and for the services it provides. I now see it as more than a place to donate our things and put money in buckets at Christmas. I intend to find out what's happening in our area and how we might help.
Thanks to Kevin and his incredible team in Bedford UK. We had an amazing time and will never forget our experience. Thank you for welcoming us with open arms and giving us the opportunity to share our story.
Go to http://www.salvationarmy.org/ and check out the incredible programs they offer internationally.
Also, in the US, check out the Kroc centers that will be springing up all over the states, go to http://www.salvationarmyusa.org/usn/www_usn_2.nsf/vw-text-dynamic-arrays/E9D8660ADDBB36C7802573F500587F26?openDocument to learn more.
New respect and big courage. One more reason besides Kate to love Bedford.

Had a interesting discussion at our last electrical safety committee about energized work and energized work permits. We have a project where we need to add a MCC bucket to AB line up. We were debating on how to shut the MCC down and one of our seasoned electricians spoke up and indicated he would prefer to put the bucket in hot as going thru the shutdown would expose him to additional risk. He elaborated on the number of disconnects and breakers needed to be opened to accommodate this work and each action was an additional risk for the electrician performing the work. Our SOP for installing a bucket hot requires cat 4 gear & two electricians. In his opinion this was safest approach.
Curious how others feel about this? Is this a valid reason to work the MCC hot? Looking forward to reading your comments.

Song of the Day: Beirut - Postcards From Italy
When 16 year old Zachary Condon dropped out of his Sante Fe high school to enroll in community college, his music career didn't seem very likely to happen. A year later though, he moved to Europe to stay with a cousin, where he became aware and a dan of Balkan folk music. Inspired by his new taste in music, he returned home to New Mexico, where he re-enrolled in college, and began work on his new album. Soon, he had a great collection of material he recorded in his bedroom, and was soon signed under the moniker of Beirut. This is where the project took full force, this interesting world/indie folk sound that became highly acclaimed in the indie/folk community. Postcards From Italy is one of his more well rounded songs, not to folky, not worldy, but just pretty.

I've just begun cooking with pistachios & tried 2 recipes: a pistachio cookie & a couscous salad featuring pistachios. In both, I couldn't taste the pistachios at all -- their flavor seems easily dominated by other flavors. Is it just me, or have you experienced this too? I love pistachios straight-up (in fact I'm eating a handful of them right now) & am disappointed I can't find a recipe that really showcases their flavor.
Try lightly toasting them in the oven first, @ 300 degrees for 7-10 mins. It enhances their flavor.
The best dish I've ever had with pistachos is from a restaurant in Kennebunkport, ME called Hurricane Restaurant. It just containes greens, roasted shallots and pistachios
and a dressing that I think has buttermilk and fresh ground pepper. The pistachios are not chopped; they're whole and I think that's one of the keys; they're so mild (but awesome) that you want to keep them whole or chopped very large so that you get a big bite.
This may be obvious, but I think a really good pistachio ice cream (not the commercial green stuff) is a great vehicle for their flavor - and pure bliss.
I especially love when the ice cream isn't overly sweet and the pistachios are ever so lightly salted - the contrast of that hint of salt and the sweet cream really brings out the pistachio-ness of the pistachio ;-) Be sure to include lots whole pistachios too - if too finely chopped, their delicate flavor can get lost. (Sorry, I don't have an actual recipe to share.)
Definitely toast them before using. I do that with all nuts. It really brings out flavor.
I agree with AmySarah on the ice cream theme, pistachio gelato.
But I too would toast them in a dry skillet and add them to something like red quinoa with some olive oil and citrus zest.
If you don't chop them or don't chop them too finely, you should up the flavor a bit as well. And I also agree with the roasting.
Toasting or roasting your pistachios will bring out the flavor. And check out this site for more recipes - there are 4 award winners and lots of EPs to choose from: http://www.food52.com/recipes...
I did roast the pistachios, so that wasn't the problem & the 2 recipes I tried were from the Food52 EP list & I couldn't taste the pistachios at all. I like the advice about keeping the pistachios whole & will do that from now on. Also, I'll look at recipes carefully & choose one where the other flavors are mild, to really let the pistachios shine. I am intrigued by the idea of pistachio ice cream, but unfortunately have no ice cream maker. Well, there's another item for my wish list! Thanks to everyone for your thoughtful answers.
Ok. So if you did already roast the pistachios you might have to try some other things. If I was going to pull out all the stops to taste those pistachios, I would:
1. buy them from a reputable supplier where they are sure to be fresh. I have found that Indian and Middle Eastern food shops have the freshest stock. I also have a friend who makes pistachio butter and he gets his from an organic supplier in CA. I will get the info and post it here, but they are the most flavorful, amazing pistachios ever.
2. Keep some of them whole if you want, but also grind some with some of the flour in the recipe (1c:1c).
3. After baking, soak with a nut-infused booze like frangelico or disaronno.
Look at the archive of Melissa Clark's "Cooking with a Good Appetite" columns at the New York Times. She has a fabulous recipe there for granola made with olive oil, pistachios, and apricots. It's also in her new book. This is the most deluxe, delicious granola you will ever encounter, and the flavor of the pistachios is right up front, since they toast along with the other ingredients.
The website I mentioned below is http://www.ohnuts.com/buy.cfm/bulk-nuts-seeds/pistachio-nuts/shelled-raw-pistachios

To Smoke A Salmon, First You Have To Catch It.
I recently made a trip to the world famous Pike Place Market which, believe it or not, is only about a mile from my house. My goal was to shoot some scenes for my new website for the "About Me" page.
While I was there I realized I needed a salmon to smoke for my annual St Patrick's Day party, which was only 2 days away. Imagine my surprise when the guys at Pike Place Fish Market asked me if I wanted to "catch" a salmon. I thought they were kidding. I said "You mean, like, a stuffed salmon...a pretend salmon"?
A few of the guys chimed in with variations of the word "no" and the next thing I knew I was standing behind the counter at the fish market, being egged on by the crowd. I was realllly nervous, but what a fun experience.
The sockeye salmon I smoked for the party turned out great too, but I think I'll save that blog post for the new website!

Samsung Galaxy Watch Hands-On: Steady progress, but few thrills
Published on Aug 9, 2018
We knew Samsung's Galaxy Note 9 was coming, but the new Galaxy Watch was a bit more of a surprise. (Well, as much a surprise as a device Samsung leaked on its own website can be.) The crowds have finally started to dissipate here at Samsung Unpacked, so we snagged a few Galaxy Watches to try on, and there's immediately plenty to like about the wearable.

New Stills and Cast Portraits From Legion
To prepare for the release of Legion comes out on FX, the cable network released a bunch of promotional stills and some cast portraits. With only two weeks to go until the X-Men spin-off comes out, all we have to keep us occupied are these amazing images that immediately is drawing us in.
From the many positive feedback we've been hearing on the show, Noah Hawley may have another hit on his hands for FX. If these images are any indication, expect Legion to take you on a trip inside the insane mind of Dan Stevens's David Haller. We have many portrait photos of our main protagonist as we see the situation he has gotten himself into after checking himself in a psychiatric hospital. We also have some portraits of the rest of the cast, including Rachel Keller, Aubrey Plaza, Jean Smart, Bill Irwin, Jeremie Harris, Amber Midthunder, Katie Aselton, and Jermaine Clement.
Besides all the colorful imagery in the portraits, we also have some stills from the pilot as we step into David's world. In some of the photos, we see that he interacts with many cast members like patients Syd Barrett (Rachel Keller) and Lenny Busker (Aubery Plaza) as well as his sister Amy (Katie Aselton). We also see his psychiatrist Melanie Bird (Jean Smart), who seems to be harboring a secret based on her suspicious looks in some of the photos.
Leave your thoughts on the new promotional stills and cast portraits from Legion in the comments section below. Readers seeking more TV show news can visit our TV Show News Google+ Page and our TV Show News Facebook Page. Want up-to-the-minute notifications?

We have better diets, take more exercise and have increased free time to focus on our health. More than 70 per cent of over-50s do more exercise than when they were younger, the report found.
Only a fifth of them said they would have consumed the recommended amount of fruit and veg a day while in their 20s, compared to an impressive 75 per cent today.
Just goes to show that just because we get older we are still open to learning as new data hits us.
