In case you've been living under a rock the last couple days, Ford has a new Mustang, which finally has independent rear suspension, and an efficient 4-banger mill option, and aggressive new looks, and blah, blah, blah. We know this'll sound like sour grapes, but big whoop; we think as most of our readers know, Japanese brands have been offering these features in rear-wheel drives (RWD) for years, often in packaging that is timelessly stylish and modestly priced.
Yeah, the new Ford has the media buzzing. But we're here to ask, what took the Blue Oval so long?
As a counterpoint to the 2015 Mustang frenzy, here are five front engine, rear-wheel drive (FR) stunners that out-cool the pony car, from any generation, on any day.
Toyota AE86 Corolla
This classic from the mid-1980s is doubtlessly boxy and a bit frumpy but infinitely cool for its connection to tuning, drifting and its roots in Japan. Plus the chassis is super forgiving; sure, it's a "momentum" car, but there's nothing better to learn to slide.
Nissan 240SX
Sold in America from 1989-98, 240s are far and away the most flexible low-buck RWD ever created. S13 and S14 chassis aftermarket parts are exceedingly plentiful and continually growing, including those to swap in General Motors LS V8s to turn the cars into beasts.
Mazda RX-7
The pinnacle of Mazda's rotary obsession was arguably the FD version of the RX-7, produced from 1992 to 2002; it offered high-revs and sleek lines. While the only car on this list that's not an FR (it's technically a mid-front engine RWD), this purest of sports cars is close enough, flossing rear drive wheels and a mill in front of the firewall.
Honda S2000
Engineers built the chassis to take track abuse, but the platform made from 1999 to 2009 has proven to be just as lethal on the show scene. It's also another high-rapping screamer.
Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ
Probably what Ford was aiming for in terms of visceral visual impact, the car introduced in 2012 makes FR cool for a new generation. Rakish on the outside, under the hood is this list's only boxer-4, adding to the others' inline-4s and Wankel.

Guru's College Report: Notre Dame's McGraw Homecoming Visits To Philly Hampered by Irish Move to ACC
NEW YORK -- Attention Penn, Saint Joseph's, Temple, or, even La Salle!
Notre Dame coach Muffet McGraw needs one or more of you at a future date to host a homecoming -- her own.
One of the consequences of the Irish's move from the Big East to the Atlantic Coast Conference at a time to be determined is McGraw will no longer have the luxury of frequent trips back to the Philadelphia area where she starred at Saint Joseph's and also began a Women's Basketball Hall of Fame coaching career first at the high school level, going 50-3 in two seasons at Archbishop Carroll including a 28-0 run in 1978-79 that led to the Catholic League title.
"I'm going to start calling them all," McGraw jested with a tinge of seriousness here Wednesday afternoon at the New York Athletic Club prior to a press luncheon to preview the Carrier Classic against Ohio State in a doubleheader outdoors on Nov. 9 on the Deck of the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point Naval Museum in Charleston, S.C.
The Buckeyes men, who went to the NCAA Final Four, will meet Marquette, which went to the Sweet 16, in the other game.
"I got a lot if friends and family back there I get to see every year," smiled McGraw, who said she knew about the move to the ACC for several weeks prior to the public revelation. "I'm going to start with Penn, because they came to our place last year and it would be fun to play in The Palestra and also Saint Joe's -- after all, it's my alma mater."
One place that won't get a quick call in what would become nonconference encounter is Villanova.
No longer having to deal with the annual headaches going against Harry Perretta's motion offense is one of the luxuries the move offers even if Notre Dame has dominated the series with the Wildcats.
Ironically, McGraw, who is beginning her 25th season, was hired out of Lehigh by then-athletic director Gene Corrigan, a relative of former Virginia coach Debbie Ryan and a former commissioner of the ACC.
She succeeded Mary DiStanislao, a former Immaculata assistant to Cathy Rush and now in charge of women's athletics, among other duties, at Penn.
There's another irony because the game will match McGraw against Ohio State's Jim Foster, who is headed two years behind his former assistant coach to induction next June in the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame in Knoxville, Tenn.
Foster hired McGraw on his staff to return to her alma mater after his friend Geno Auriemma left the Hawks to become an assistant to Ryan at Virginia.
From there he moved on to the University of Connecticut where as head coach of the Huskies he built a nationally proiminent program collecting seven NCAA titles to date.
Last month six of his former UConn all-timers rejoined him to comprise half of the USA squad that won a fifth straight Olympic gold medal in London, England.
McGraw, who has yet to lose to a Foster-coached team at either St. Joes, Vanderbilt, or Ohio State, does not schedule against one of her former mentors and vice versa because of the deep friendship and admiration they have for each other personally and their respective successes.
But they will allow special set-up events to put them in the same contest, such as the Carrier Classic, but decades ago before they created their stipulation, in Foster's last season on Hawk Hill in 1990-91, he invited Notre Dame to join with Louisiana Tech as part of the school's annual holiday tournaent.
The Irish responded by making a major breakthrough upsetting the Techsters, who had resided seemingly forever in the Top 10 of the Associated Press women's poll, and then blasting the home team 72-53.
A few days later Notre Dame landed its first-ever AP ranking and the Irish began climbing to greatness that culminated in an NCAA title in 2001 and appearances in the national championship contest the last two seasons.
The Carrier Classic is run by the Morale Entertainment Foundation and will be broadcast by NBC Sports Network in what will be both the season-opening weekend and as well as activities involving Veterans Day-related events.
A year ago in the inaugural classic, Michigan met North Carolina on the USS Carl Vinson in San Diego. This year's doubleheader, which through the Ohio State-Notre Dame game brings awareness to women in the military, will benefit the Navy-Marine Corps Relief Society and the Wounded Warrior Project, along with the Congressional Medal of Honor Society.
There is special poignancy in the women's game because Foster, a graduate of Temple, is a veteran of the Vietnam War, while Notre Dame's attachment comes from the story of former star Danielle Green-Byrd who joined the military and then had her arm shot off in Iraq.
Green will be with Notre Dame during the events in South Carolina.
This game becomes a rarity within the rarity in the coaching matchup because the other meetings involved either in-season WNIT encounters or NCAA tournament action.
"As the only veteran coaching in this classic, I've been given 10 points," Foster said from front of the room in his formal remarks. "Personally, I'm happy the game is being played outdoors.
"I watched my team shoot the other day and I hope there's a stiff wind in the game and even things up," he continued.
"I'm a Vietnam veteran. I can't think of anything that I would be more proud to be involved with relative to veterans and I just want to thank those folks who come up with ways to make their experience a significant one.
"That's the neatest thing. Seeing our players being involved with people who have sacrificed a great deal and have done things for their country that right now that the players can only think of.
"So thanks again. If we get it to 15, I'll be very happy."
McGraw related the experience the night she got the phone call about Green's injury.
"In 2004, my phone rang, it was about 3 o'clock in the morning and when I answered it, it was a friend of mine who happened to bea Notre Dame grad. And he's a doctor. He went to medical school.
"And he said, 'I got one of your former players with me right now.' They had just flown into Germany and she had lost her left arm.
"It was sort of God's way of taking care of her, him being there. And when he passed the phone over to Danielle, the first thing she said, was, `Coach, you always try to get me to work with the opposite hand.
"She's a remarkable woman. We're so excited to dedicate this game to her. And I think if it is a small amount of entertainment for the women warriors for just one night, we're just so obliged to do that.
"We're just so excited to be a part of it and our fans across the country will get to see us play."
Follow-Ups: McGraw, incidentally, was asked whether she was happy the draft lottery results in the WNBA in terms of order will be announced next week, considering that Irish senior star Skylar Diggins is projected to be one of the top three picks.
Well, as it turns out, McGraw was unaware but she thinks it will be a pretty neat night."
McGraw has had a busy summer. She was one of several coaches, as was Penn State's Coquese Washington, one of her former players, who were on the search committee that produced former Northwestern star and Buffalo senior women's athletic director Anucha Brown-Sanders as the new NCAA Vice President of the women's basketball championships for Divisions I, II and III.
Speaking of Saint Joseph's. Although the Guru tweeted earlier in the day at @womhoopsguru, for those of you yet to join the ongoing followers, the Hawks announced that Sue Moran, the all-time scorer for men or women in Saint Joseph's history, has been promoted by coach Cindy Griffin to associate head coach.
And speaking of Notre Dame, Penn State and Washington, the Lady Lions mentor has signed an extension through 2017 for undisclosed terms to continue coaching at Penn State.
Her last re-worked deal came two years ago after Penn State ended a postseason drought, appearing in the WNIT. Considering that the Lady Lions have since gone twice to the NCAA tournament, including the Sweet 16 last season as well as taking the Big 10 regular season title, and that conference rival Michigan attempted to do some poaching during the Wolverines' vacancy, the deal can be expected to be whatever the budget allows and more.

Almost two years ago, I went to México as an LEX intern for 3 months, and stayed with Javier's family in Mexico City. It was a great experience, and one of the main reasons I decided to apply for the LEX internship in Japan. I did a lot of the same things as an intern in Mexico as I do here in the office like help check documents and work with the exchange groups, and of course had the opportunity to live and work in an environment where I was always surrounded by and communicating in Spanish, which allowed my abilities and confidence in the language to improve more than I had ever expected! Though my experiences as an LEX intern in Mexico and Japan have been different in some aspects, one of the things that has always been the same is the people. All the LEX members I have met in both Mexico and Japan have corazones grandes y abiertos. They are welcoming, open, caring, and fun. Thank you again to everyone from LEX Mexico for welcoming me and creating such a positive experience! And thank you to LEX Japan for making it possible to continue my connection with LEX and have a whole new experience here!

This is exactly what the u.s. war machine wants.....
They were headed this way under Oilbama, and the Heinous Harpy would have forced it through....
have had Iran surrounded w/ 22+ armed forces bases for years &
years.... So we will go after their resources just like we did Iraq's
and those of the remainder of the Middle East that will not bow down to
the Oil Companies & the Rothschilds?
We have no
right what-so-ever to be in the Middle East or to dictate to any of
those countries how to govern themselves or demand they turn over their
FKN' wake up people and stop being the stupid sheep that the corporate run media & government trains you to be.
READ HISTORY, and not the history that the colonizers/victors have written.

In the past, the rural Pastors have had very little training from the Bible. As a result they believe and teach many things that are not scriptural. One of the most important areas is our understanding of the New Covenant. So many church members are still trying to serve Jesus in the way of the Old Covenant, trying to obey rules and regulations while remaining under guilt, shame, condemnation, and fear. Breaking the spiritual bondage of this false gospel is our God given goal.
Tommy meets weekly with 12 men, all of the 5 church's leadership, to train them in the Scriptures as well in how to lead and pastor churches in rural Nicaragua. His goal is to train New Covenant leaders who experience the true power of grace and see their own lives transformed and then powerfully influence and serve their communities with love, wisdom and truth. Displacing the spiritual and physical poverty with life, freedom and abundance of the Kingdom of God is our goal.

Describing her work as 'accepting of wearing me' and 'pack mentality of I', Jess McGrady's focus as a creator is fundamentally centred around the exploration of the self; giving rise to languages not yet pronounced in the current fashion landscape. The Royal College of Art MA Fashion Womenswear graduate often feels a relentless need to investigate alternatives in design: how to create clothing that's everything one does not expect it to be? How to remove oneself from preconceived notions and add new commentaries and ways of seeing to the general discourse?
Having been mentored by Alan Norris during her BA at University of Creative Arts Rochester — the head of Hardy Amies and tailor to the Queen — Jess developed a strong set of tailoring skills. Her conceptual framework gained force while assisting Iris van Herpen leading up to her couture show, which came to fruition in the MA collection she presented last month. We spoke with Jess to discover what really makes her tick.
"The creation of spaces, installations and performances enabled me to transpose myself into a sphere where I could remove the familiarity of my own preconceived notions of clothes, and how we dress as women."
Do you consider your work an extension of your own identity?
My work is very influenced by my upbringing in South London, where cultural belonging and communicating through the clothes one wears is quite present. I would say that my work is indeed about identity and personal growth — when you spend an intense period working on a collection, it is hard not to push personality into the research and construction of a garment. My moves and mannerisms reflect how I would wear the piece. It is important that I frequently wear the clothes I make, especially in the toiling stage, because the garment needs to sit and move in the correct way. It's like having to constantly refocus in a mirror, creating mini versions of myself through clothing.
How was your experience of the design approach at the RCA?
In the beginning I really tried to remove myself from the making, and instead really appreciated the conceptual process, because nowadays we don't hold on to it as much. The creation of spaces, installations and performances enabled me to transpose myself into a sphere where I could remove the familiarity of my own preconceived notions of clothes, and how we dress as women. What this allowed me to do was to not reference anything from the outside, and I was able to solely reflect on what I was desperately trying to convey in clothing.
When you look at the entire MA experience, you realise how much you grow in the space of two years. It comes from self exploration and development. There were times when I did not feel like making clothes that day, so I went and sat on the floor in galleries and just listened to David Bowie — you realise that this is part of the process. Taking the time to think, in between moments of intense labour, changed my approach completely. It's true that when you're working like a machine you don't feel your body or mind, so it becomes crucial to walk away and clear your head. I learnt that as much as the RCA developed me as a designer, it also taught me a lot about personal reflection. Having the time to breathe and understand the relationship you have with your work, can inform you of which direction to go next.
How important was it to work with different creative forms?
By using different mediums to document your work, your perspective shifts and you begin to see your work as a second person pronoun, as opposed to being so immersed in the first person. Sometimes when you're working on a project, it's hard to see beyond the process. When creating the installation for 'Pack mentality of I', there were five cameras pointing at me from different angles. I wanted to see the entire space and the way in which my body moved through this 10m by 7m black vinyl flooring entity — otherwise my form, obscured by masses of material, would have been lost. I was able to see different silhouettes forming, hints and glimpses of what my final collection was to be, so I drew them out. I always return to that footage to readjust my expectations.

"I really struggle to place my work in what I deem the 'industry dictionary', as most of the time, people only consider design as good or bad."
Do you understand your work as design or as art?
My work is most definitely categorised as design with function, purpose, place and person. I don't think of my work as art, as I think that's intangible. My clothes are not weak or feeble things and I like the fact they are used and worn, partly because I designed them in such a way. I was very lucky to be sponsored by a company that gave me loads of old black cotton performance backdrops. They were slightly damaged and stained, but I liked that they had fulfilled their purpose and that I had the opportunity to repurpose them.
I really struggle to place my work in what I deem the 'industry dictionary', as most of the time, people only consider design as good or bad. This doesn't leave much room for understanding or interpretation. So much more needs to be done to broaden the perspectives of fashion consumers and makers — it's all about access, information and understanding that one must push the boundaries in order to go further. If one only relies on the media that is already in circulation, then we will continue to simply embrace one another's normalities. Personally I love to find small bodies of text to read and absorb — it might come to me as a reference five years down the line!
Can you elaborate on the industry: your experiences and thoughts?
I think I have a well-rounded understanding of industry. Most of the time I could not intern, as I was either studying or working in retail — the glamourous life! Although working in retail did not inform my practice greatly, it helped to understand building customer relationships and listening to their requirements with regards to garments.
In the places where I did intern, I was lucky to learn about hierarchy, organization and the importance of maintaining business relationships. The most important thing I learnt was the power of persistence: the industry teaches you to always have a solution. If something is not working, you have to come back the next day with an alternative. You have to always be on your A game. This kept me proactive about finding solutions in my own design process.
Within the industry itself, I'd like there to be a greater appreciation of conceptual design in womenswear. I know that our type of consumerism orientates around 'what you see is what you get', and I also appreciate the need for commercial design: currently in menswear we see a fusion of both. I think that we truly need to expose conceptual design more. It influences new designers to think differently about their work and how it's received in the industry.

"I would like the fashion industry to be less about the spectacle, and to be more about embracing a variety of design cultures and women."
How do you feel about heading out into industry, are you looking to establish your own brand or work for someone else?
'The dream', you mean?! It seems so hard to obtain right now and I realise that I still have a lot to say with my designs. I equally know I am a keen learner, there's so much to learn about this craft and I would love to get out of London. I would really enjoy working for someone like Rick Owens, Haider Ackermann, Yohji Yamamoto: the pattern-cutting kings!
How's your experience at the RCA been?
I recently said in a video interview with 1 Granary that my one word summary of my time at the RCA would be 'mistakes'. Now that I have more time to think about it, I can elaborate: my experience at the RCA taught me that I learnt the most when I got it wrong. Like really wrong, because when you make the mistakes, you instantly know it. You missed your mark, it doesn't feel like your work. It's a privilege to know how acute you have become with your work. Then you come back the next day determined to get it right. To move on from that place and do it better, communicate with it harder. The experience has been so valuable in this sense.
How would you like the industry to change?
I would like the fashion industry to be less about the spectacle, and to be more about embracing a variety of design cultures and women. These strong unapologetic women, who do what they need to do. Supposedly this is what our industry is about, the challenge to be defining a new characteristic and inviting the people to wear it. But it's important to challenge these standards, because it allows the generations to come not to feel threatened by what actually is a really regulated industry. To offer a sincere alternative, a niche to be appreciated. It feels a long way off, but I remain optimistic and hope to pioneer in this way of thinking.

Weekend Decor Makeover: Bathroom
Use our 6 easy ideas to refresh your bathroom décor on a budget — in a weekend!
Transforming your bathroom into a mini oasis is easier, less expensive and less time consuming than you may have thought. With a few inexpensive additions and minor changes, the bathroom can become your peaceful retreat from a busy life and home. Achieve a designer feel with any or all of our décor makeover tips.
1. Upgrade the Medicine Cabinet
One of the biggest eyesores in a bathroom can be the medicine cabinet. Step one is to clean it out and get it organized. Throw away any old products, expired medication or almost-empty toothpaste tubes. Then take everything off the shelves and give them a good cleaning.
Next purchase shelf liner or wallpaper to transform the back of the cabinet. Pick a pretty pattern or favorite color that also fits with the rest of your bathroom décor. The new shade will cheer you up every time you open the doors!
2. Add New Shower Curtains
Switching out a shower curtain is one of the easiest ways to update your bathroom's décor. They're usually a focal point of the bathroom, so they can make a major impact and change your bathroom's look dramatically.
Browse around your favorite home decorating stores before making a final choice. There are so many designs available, from solid colors to bold patterns to landscape photographs and more.
Plastic or vinyl curtains are not the only option! Try using fabric curtains to add a softer feel to the space. Whichever curtain you choose, always use a shower liner along with it.
3. Try a Fresh Coat of Paint
If you want to make an even bigger statement, then paint the walls (or shower doors, if you have them). Even if you're on a tight budget, painting an accent wall does wonders for any space.
Turn a window into a fabulous focal point by painting that wall. Or, if there aren't any windows in your bathroom, paint your walls white and hang artwork or other pretty wall décor.
Shelving and cabinet doors look great with a fresh coat of paint, and can transform any vanity from dull to darling.
4. Accent with Wallpaper
The bathroom is a perfect space for using wallpaper! It's an easy, inexpensive option that can make a major décor statement. Usually bathrooms have the least amount of square footage, so you'll only need a few rolls.
Smaller spaces like bathrooms are more forgiving of wacky patterns and prints, as well. You can test out your design curiosities — animal prints, pinks, bold stripes or graphics.
Tip: If you prefer simple décor, only use wallpaper on the bottom half of the walls or on an accent wall, or just use a border.
5. Swap Out Towels and Rugs
Nothing says luxury like a soft, plush set of bathroom towels. Spending a little more than usual on good towels definitely pays off. Not only will they last longer, but the difference between a well-made towel and a cheaper choice is noticeable.
For your special oasis, you'll want soft, fluffy and luxurious towels. Buying a new set of towels also adds personality to a bathroom easily. Whether you decide to stay classic with white or mix and match colors or patterns, towels are a great way to add fast, fun and labor-free décor to your bathroom.
Rugs and bathmats are also ideal for sprucing up dull floors and adding a comfortable feel. You can choose rugs with great bold patterns, or use neutrals to complement your wall color.
6. Add Accessories
After a new coat of paint, shower curtain and towels, it's the little details that can really up the wow factor. Coordinate your soap dish, toothbrush holder, wastebasket and other accessories. Find sets that match your shower curtain or wallpaper.
Neutrals are wonderful, too — they'll effortlessly match your walls and towels. Metallic accessories, like gold and chrome, add a touch of luxury without the luxury price tag.
Don't forget to add finishing touches like candles or fresh flowers, which will make relaxing in the tub at home a truly spa-worthy escape.

I'm a wife and mum to two beautiful little children, Luca and Rosa. In a previous life I used to work in design and marketing but always dreamt of following in my parents' footsteps and of being my own boss.
My love of all things 'old' comes from my lovely Mum, who ran her own little antique shop. I used to love helping there on a Saturday and going on the buying trips with her and Dad in the rented van.
I got the idea for Pebble when I planned my own wedding and saw the opportunity to combine sourcing the old bits and pieces I love, with crafting (another love) and with meeting people with loads of great creative ideas looking to create something magical.
For me, it's an honour that people choose our pieces to be part of a special occasion or indeed a wedding, probably the most special of days. I love chatting to brides, grooms - or indeed with our new tea party service, birthday girls and boys, new Mums and Dads, hens... - hearing their thoughts, seeing how we can best input, enhance and bring the ideas to life and then seeing the wonderful photos afterwards. It's a privilege and a pleasure so thank you.
P.S. Did you know we now do tea parties too?

"Didactic Illustrations" Obviously
Today's graphic design project: Create a set of illustrations that explains, senza parole, how to accomplish a certain task. First, I got the very serious and difficult task of applying contact lenses (Some people struggle okay? I got you Shelb.)
Major hint: Do not use your nails. Obvious to many, not so to some. Next, with only a short bit left in class, I drew "How to open a wine bottle." So I thought, "Okay, how do I open wine bottles?" And this is what I came up with.
Book Jacket Project
Today's graphic design project: design a book jacket for A Room of One's Own. I like the cover, but the rest of it needs some work. Thoughts?
Logo Redesign For Progetto Archeologico Alberese
My latest graphic design project, redesigning a logo for the Alberese Archaeological Project, first based on their old one, and then starting from scratch. To the right is the old one, followed by my two designs. The original is (very loosely) based on a lamp found at the site, which I more accurately traced to create the first. The second is—hopefully I'm stating the obvious here—a acronym made of archaeological tools.
Graphic Design Success!
My graphic design teacher emailed me yesterday to tell me that I won our first design contest, and I am so excited! The job was to design a logo for the John Cabot-founded International Student Leadership Organization, that reflects the key characteristics of the organization: empowering, simple, and universal. In any case, they liked it! And anyone who saw me after leaving Ave Maria last semester, upset and frustrated because I was obsessively perfecting press kits that my boss already said were good, will know how relieved this makes me. Apologies for the excess of the devil's punctuation mark in this post. I know, I hate them too. Here's the link to the announcement on the JCU website.
It's My Birthday And I'll Get Sappy If I Want To
I just wanted to check in really quick and confirm that today is, in fact, my 21st birthday, and I am still alive. As Carol said, I MADE IT! In fact I am very alive. So alive that I was able to take a midterm at 9:00 AM this morning. So super alive that I nailed it. Check it out. We had to design a poster and invitation for an extremely important JCU event. Who knows if it's technically any good, but I'm pretty proud of it.
In other much more important news, I am deeply and irrevocably in love with the Notre Dame Rome program, in its entirety. Every single person here helped make this one of the best birthdays I have ever had, and I could not be more grateful to have become so close so quickly with such a stone cold pack of weirdos. Everyone brings something unique and absolutely vital to the table, and today didn't have to be anything more than just being with all of them to make it great. (It was, I mean I ate steak that was cooked in balsamic that was older than me, so there's that.) I especially want to thank the group of freaks that accompanied me to Scholars last night, Mia and Carmel for singscreaming Grease songs with me, Katie for dressing me, Carol for winning my birthday, Coco for my morning cornetto and making me feel good by girl crushing on me, Teresa for those things I can't talk about because there is no way in hell I am sharing, Hannah Banana for my lovely key charm, Lily for a cake made of magic balls, catering to my every whim, allowing me to be a massive birthday princess, and being my main squeeze. And of course, thank you Jackie for my flowers, negative thank you for the worst drink of my life, and a million thank yous for the best birthday meal ever. Seriously, I feel very lucky. I love all you guys.
First Design Project
Baby steps people. Our first Graphic Design project for the semester was to choose our three "key values" or characteristics and design a logotype for our first name based around those traits. I elaborated just to make sure I felt like all definitions were captured. Fonts are so tricky, as I learned for myself working at Ave Maria this semester. I wish I had more fully utilized Dafont. Sigh, regrets…

Little Peter's Pink Leggings
I live in one of the, if not THE, most gender equal countries in the world. Dads pushing strollers and wiping bums, taking their Government-given paternity leave. Moms changing the oil and heading out for a night of drinking and dancing while Dad stays home to tend to the little ones. All the household chores and bills split right down the middle (though I'm sure they factor in who makes more money). Proof.
But with all that, chivalry is dead in the water here. No opening of doors. No ladies first. No "Dinner is on Me". Seriously. The man is not expected and the woman might even go as far as to be insulted, if the man offered to pay for dinner. (Caveat: This is a generalization, obviously. Sweden has a lot of Middle Eastern immigrants)
There was even some talk recently about all of this gender equality emasculating Swedish men?! Again, seriously. Gotta find that article for you. It's a hoot. This woman is an idiot.
Anyway, I'm more of a traditional gal and though I admire and respect all of this equality, I like to run my house. I like doors open for me. I DO NOT pay for dinner on a date. I like to be treated like a lady in the more traditional sense of the word. But that's me. And yes, I would have been standing in protest way back when for the right to vote.
Now, finally getting to my story here. The other day was an observation day at my son's school so I was able to go for the morning and be a not-so-silent observer of the day-to-day goings on at the Montesorri school. It was pretty cool to see my son in his element.
While observing, I definitely observed a little boy wearing pink tights with flowers on them. Double-take. Yup, that little boy is wearing pink tights with flowers on them. It was a cold day and some of the kids only had leggings/tights/longjohns whatever-you-want-to-call-them, on underneath their winter gear.
Were his blue or boy-coloured leggings dirty that day so Mom or in this country, Dad, decided to thrown on a pair of his sister's? Or maybe the little guy likes wearing pink flowered leggings. I do not know the story. I just know what I saw. And then there's the little boy in the park wearing his sister's hand-me-down snowsuit, a lovely purple hue and again with the flowers.
I have a little boy. I love little boy clothes. If I had a little girl, I would love dressing her up in little girl clothes.
I'm not sure who it was that decided there were boy colours, girl colours and unisex colours. But they did. And we use this colour-coding scheme with infants so that cooing adults know to say, "Oh what a beautiful little INSERT SEX you have!" Now if you dress your baby in yellow (the colour for those who don't wish to know the sex of their baby beforehand and end up getting piles of yellow clothes at baby showers), all bets are off. If I make a mistake, it ain't my fault. So anyway, pink and blue STICK. They kind of follow us through life, don't they? Again, I didn't make this decision. Someone way back in the olden days did. I, like millions of others, just live by it.
And if one day my litte man decides it's tutus, Mommy's make-up and high heels, well to quote Seinfeld, "..Not that there's anything wrong with that". I will love him just the same and stand alongside him in the Pride parade plastered in rainbows. But until such time as my little boy can decide for himself what he likes to wear, he'll be decked out in trucks, trains, aliens and cars--in all the boy colours of the rainbow. Because I control the closet and for now, he's MY little boy.

@HFW So glad you feel the same. Of course there are always exceptions ;-). After reading this post, Hubby thought I should have pointed out the difference between cultures for public awareness sake and let everyone judge for themselves. I had one thing to say to that: My son will not wear pink so long as I can help it..ha!

I love how you say that you control his closet "for now". It doesn't hurt for you to select his colors. I have a friend who has a four year old son who is obsessed with all things girlie. She lets it go but worries about whether this fascination will stick through the school years. She hasn't had much luck pushing him in the truck direction. He loves his Barbies!

Too cute septembermom. Does this little boy have an older sister perhaps? Our little guy has had no real opportunities with dollies or Barbies as he hasn't been around them. sure he sees them in the toy stores but to be honest, he really does love all the things boys stereotypically love, cars, digger trucks, you name it. If he ended up loving the girly things in life at such a young age, I honestly don't know how I would handle that. Honestly, I would likely try to push the boy stuff at him and if it didn't take, well Barbies it would be :-). And this is all, FOR NOW. Things could very well change tomorrow :-).

Two former Miami Dolphins are here to drum up excitement.
Troy Drayton and Twan Russell are in Grand Cayman visiting local schools ahead of a Dolphins football camp taking place this summer. Currently serving as youth coordinators with the NFL franchise, Drayton and Russell are expected to appear at The Security Centre 2013 Youth Flag Football League finals this Saturday, 4 May. The Camana Bay Sports Field hosts matches from 11.15am.
Drayton, 42, was a tight end for nine seasons from 1993 to 2001, three of those years were spent with the Dolphins from 1996 to 1999. The Coral Springs, Florida resident had 243 receptions, 2,645 receiving yards and 24 touchdowns in his career. The 6 foot, 3 inch, 260-pound Pennsylvania native was a college standout at Pennsylvania State University.
Russell, 39, was a linebacker for seven seasons from 1997 to 2003 and retired due to injury in 2004. The Plantation, Florida resident spent two years with Miami from 2000 to 2002. The 6 foot, 1 inch, 230-pound Fort Lauderdale native had 35 tackles in his career after starring at the University of Miami.
According to Cayman Islands Department of Tourism Public Relations Officer Ruth Myles, the players are being accompanied by Dolphins team mascot T.D. and a cheerleader. The current trip is being branded as a "Miami Dolphins promotional visit as they interact with kids in our local schools to get them excited about the Dolphins Academy, taking place in July 2013."
According to the Miami Dolphins team web site, the club is planning a football camp on 24 and 25 July at the T.E. McField Sports Centre (popularly called the Annex). Targeting youngsters ages 6 to 14, the sessions are designed to teach American football fundamentals while fostering teamwork.

Thanksgiving is almost upon us, and Christmas isn't far behind.
Child custody agreements during the holidays can challenge the best divorced parents.
The book, Don't Get Scrooged by Richard Carlson, may have some advice you can find relief in. The subtitle is "How to thrive in a world full of Obnoxious, Incompetent, Arrogant, and Downright Mean-Spirited People".
Carlson writes, "Although airing your grievances with others may help you feel less alone and on rare occasion gets you good advice, more often than not it keeps you stuck in a bad mood."
He explains that when some scrooge wrongs us, we spend time thinking about the incident and growing angry and resentful. Meanwhile, the offending scrooge has moved on without any further thought. "You, not the offending person, are the one who is suffering."
Carlson says to quit rehearsing their wrongs. Quit rehearsing your rights. Only you can fix what's running through your heart and head. Free yourself.
Carlson offers the following advice:

Child custody agreements may need to be reviewed for the holidays. Having a difficult time understanding your agreement? Contact me online, call my toll free number: 877-687-1392, or call my local number: 239-210-7516.

I WONDER (Part III)
What does it take for the next generation online business superstars – we Martin is a good example:
Martin Schaedel is by far the most shining star on talent scene in the internet industry. At Lund & Kenner we are very proud to have Martin in our team. We do not blieve en veru tigth structures – but we have already partnered with Martin on a couple of projects. The real value of a tommorows superstar like Martin – is not only the speed of neural network in the brain – its way more about understanding online business – knowing information from propagande and understanding the difference between paid search and natural listings and take it into brick and morter business. (Well maybe people who read this – doesnt even know this 😉

Regarding the word "superstar"… uhm… You might want to get Martin's opinion on that word. He hasn't really been all that "visible" for a few years, by choice I'd guess.
Oh, and Happy New Year /claus
Visibility is a choice. When you don't speak at conferences, some think it's because you're not doing anything "great", but for some people, it's because we don't want to be distracted from our current mission. Secondly, conference goers operate in the present and past and can't articulate the future.
An old quote comes to mind on "visibility":
"Never throw your pearls before swine"

Happy Fall Equinox! Sisters, do you feel the energy heighten as you take bountiful leaps forward into what feels like a clear path? You are so ready and then our dear friend Mercury decides to go into retrograde. Oh darn. Don't pout lovely, this is simply a reminder to be intentional and surrender to the unknown. I know I work on letting go of full control of my life and it can be quite challenging but there are some amazing universal teachers in the cosmos making sure that the lesson is not forgotten. Now is the time to celebrate. Dance in your garden, take care of your faerie homes, hug those gorgeous trees, and share the reflections of your amazing soul sisters. Bring everything into harmony as you get ready for this new cycle, this new beginning.
I have been thinking a lot about the word BALANCE. To me, there are not equal amounts of energy or focus that can be applied to everything. For me, it's not about attaining this preconceived notion of balance but rather learning how to come to a place of HARMONY.
Slacklining is the perfect example of this. The line is quite wobbly, flexible, and giving. It's not like a tight rope which is taunt. The slackline, to me, represents life. There are ebbs and flows, it moves and it's not predictable, even if you desire for it to be. The only way that you won't fall is if you slow down your breathe, come to a place of ease in your body, and energetically speak with the slackline. If the slackline moves a lot, it means that your energy is coursing through your system with fear and thoughts. When you slow down your breathe, clear your mind, find calmness in your system, the slackline begins to move less. You are in harmony with your mind, body, soul, and the slackline.
I invite you this week to slow down. Be inspired and take energetic action, but be PRESENT while doing so.
I hope you enjoy this week's ritual.
Mabon - Fall Equinox Wednesday, September 23, 2015 1:22am pst, 4:22am est
The Fall Equinox coincides with Mabon, a celebration of the bountiful crops and a time for deep gratitude for the abundance in one's life. It's during the time of the second harvest, the first being in the summer. During this celebration, we connect with Mother Earth, her food, her colors, and we bask in her fertility. There is an emphasis on community and tribe here so my invitation will be that you celebrate with others.

If you can successfully neutralise a player who is on a run of 18 goals in eight games for the best club team in the world, you are entitled to consider the job half done. Milan's defenders tracked and shadowed and blocked to immense effect last night, preventing Lionel Messi from scoring or at least inspiring the goals that would have eased Barcelona's task in the return leg at the Camp Nou.
Both managers were forced to make adjustments to their respective rearguards. Without Thiago Silva, Milan's most reliable defender this season but injured 10 minutes into Saturday's 2-1 win over Roma, Massimiliano Allegri selected Philippe Mexès to partner Alessandro Nesta and retained Daniele Bonera at right back in place of Ignazio Abate, another recent casualty. The suspended Mark van Bommel, his midfield shield, was replaced by the club captain, Massimo Ambrosini. For the visitors, deprived of the unfortunate Eric Abidal, who is expected to undergo a liver transplant this week, Pep Guardiola moved Barcelona's captain, Carles Puyol, to left back and brought back Javier Mascherano to resume an emergency partnership with Gerard Piqué. Seydou Keïta was chosen to reinforce the base of midfield alongside Sergio Busquets, in place of Cesc Fábregas.
Both teams, too, were without significant strikers in the shapes of Milan's Pato and Barça's David Villa, the victims of long-term injuries. The two teams had already met in the competition this season, Barcelona getting the better of their two group matches with a 2-2 draw at the Camp Nou and a 3-2 win at San Siro. Barcelona's previous visit, in the semi-finals in 2006, resulted in a 1-0 win, and Milan have not beaten the Catalan club on home ground since 2004.
Zlatan Ibrahimovic's resentment of his treatment during his single season at Barcelona continues to fester, although few can share his amazement that Guardiola would favour Messi ahead of the Swede as the spearhead of his attack. Yet his careful header across the six-yard box should have led to Milan taking the lead in the third minute, after Kevin-Prince Boateng's shot had been blocked by Piqué, but an unmarked Robinho sent his volley flying over the bar from point-blank range, with Víctor Valdés helpless.
Four minutes later Messi slipped while taking a free kick after Nesta had fouled him a couple of yards outside the box. The television replay showed that a green laser had been directed on to the little Argentinian's face, clearly bothering him as he prepared to take the kick, which looped gently over the defence and almost fell at Keïta's feet.
Barcelona started to monopolise possession and had their own close-range chance in the ninth minute, when Mexés conceded possession on the edge of the Milan area, Messi shot through Bonera's legs, Christian Abbiati failed to make a clean save and Daniel Alves nudged the rebound past the post. Alves was the next to experience the green laser treatment, again as Messi readied himself to take a free kick from which Alexis Sénchez might have been awarded a penalty had he not made such a production of exaggerating his dive when caught by Abbiati's foot as he sprinted across the goalkeeper.
Valdés's alert response to a half-hit shot from 10 yards out prevented Ibrahimovic from scoring in the 20th minute when the Swede ran on to a clever pass from Clarence Seedorf, but five minutes later only a great stop from Abbiati kept out Xavi Hernández's strike, after an exchange with Messi cut the heart out of the Milan defence.
Well aware that they would be forced to endure the usual ordeal by tiki-taka, Milan concentrated on packing the centre of defence and looking for the opportunity to counter-attack. A swift build-up involving Ibrahimovic and Antonio Nocerino might have brought a dividend had Seedorf not spoiled it with a poor volleyed effort. When Sánchez broke clear of Luca Antonini down the middle in the 35th minute, the Milan defender recovered brilliantly to make a block as the Chilean shot.
The half ended with Barcelona having failed to capitalise on all that possession, their frustration evident as Andrés Iniesta blazed a shot wildly over the bar from 30 yards. Iniesta returned to the theme a minute into the second period, scampering in from the left to send a much better shot skimming past the post from 20 yards. Two minutes later Mascherano caught Robinho on the ankle with a malicious challenge, and after no more than a cursory inspection by the physiotherapist the infuriating Brazilian was replaced by the 19-year-old Stephan El-Shaarawy.
When a brief passage of co-ordinated Milan attacking broke down in the 57th minute, Messi led the charge up to the other end. Confronted by three defenders, he pushed the ball too far ahead but was caught anyway by Nesta, who stuck out his foot and, to make sure, applied a flailing arm. This time there appeared to be no sign of the laser beam as he measured the free kick, but another disappointing effort, this time from 25 yards, sailed over Abbiati's bar.
Iniesta, whose contribution had extended little beyond those two shots, was replaced after 65 minutes by Cristian Tello, the 20-year-old Spanish striker, as Guardiola tried to refresh his team's approach to breaking down an obdurate defence.
A ferocious concentration on closing off the central areas paid off for the home side, denying Messi the opportunity to capitalise on the vast amount of possession enjoyed by his side.
As a result, Milan will not be pessimistic about their chance of finding a way through into the semi-final when the sides meet again next week.

Bad deal
That was one powerful, insightful article by Mark Bonokoski on the imbalance of justice meted out to our indigenous brothers and sisters, versus millions in compensation for three Canadians reportedly tortured in Syria ("Numbers don't add up," Oct. 29). It appears we will never be able to recompense our native people for damage we have done them.

Not if government's spend as wastefully as Trudeau's does.
Spend more!
Re: "Trudeaunomics means no regard for the future," Candice Malcolm, Oct. 27.
Wads of banknotes in your cupboard would indicate you are rich. But wads of banknotes in the federal treasury indicate nothing because the national government can print as many notes as it likes. The federal government neither has money nor does not; it simply injects money into the economy when it spends. What is important is not the impact of government spending on the federal budget, but the impact on the real economy. We currently have aging infrastructure and 1.2 million unemployed Canadians. Let's put people back to work and build the schools, hospitals and energy systems we'll need for the future. Yet commentators are opposed on the misguided notion that the federal government is like a household with limited spending power. The cupboard is not bare and the sky is not falling!
Larry Kazdan
Sure. Spend more! And while we're at it, print more money! That'll fix everything.
The Liberal party needs to change its name to reflect what it is and what it stands for. I suggest the "Liebral" party. Easy. They only have to move one letter!

Beef with the 'burbs
I get tired of the claim that we suburbanites are dictating the rules to some local "community" living right around Portage and Main. This is hardly some quiet little town square sitting in the middle of some cozy little neighbourly backwater. It is a vital major transportation hub. Before anyone starts complaining about the "outsider" traffic passing through it, they had best consider that when they want their own groceries, electricity, entertainment, and emergency services, the flow of traffic though this city's core will have a major impact on them getting served. It may come as a surprise to some of the more vocal proponents of the "real" Portage and Main "community" that there are in fact a number of other locations in Winnipeg where pedestrian traffic is prohibited and for the same practical reasons. I'd argue that we are all — the city as a whole — the community that uses this key interchange, and its important use for vehicle traffic trumps the small amount of pedestrian traffic that would truly be nearby residents. I wonder how Ron Buffie (letters, Oct 29) would feel about a massive increase in his "neighborhood" cost of living stemming from both the immediate price and long term inefficiency of this project. And were I to adopt the spirit of Mr Buffie and his ilk, I'd be saying it should all come out of his wallet. After all, according to Ron, this is "his" intersection, not mine.
Dave Sandeman
As always, we hope common sense will take hold at city hall.

Eating peanuts while breastfeeding may protect your baby from allergies,a recent study has found that eating peanuts while breastfeeding may protect their newborn from developing allergies later in life.
According to researchers, the children were five times less likely to develop an allergy if their mothers had eaten nuts before weaning and introduced nuts before one year old.If mothers did one but not the other, the rate of allergic reactions was 'significantly higher.'
Symptoms of an allergy to peanuts can range from mild - such as itchy skin and a runny nose - to severe and life-threatening, as the airways can close up when the body goes into anaphylactic shock.
Recent studies have shown that avoiding the nuts during infancy increases the risk of allergy. However, these studies did not address peanut consumption by the mother while breastfeeding.
The findings indicated that the children whose mothers consumed peanuts while breastfeeding and directly introduced peanuts before 12 months had the lowest incidence of reactions to peanuts at 1.7 percent.

Hello. My wife and I bought our house about 6 months ago. It was a foreclosure and we were able to get a great deal on it. We also took advantage of the 8K tax credit so that definitely helped. We did an extensive remodeling job and now I want to refinance to cut the term to a 20 or 15 year loan. Does anyone know any good sites for mortgage information? Thanks!

Studying Psychology majors
What is the difference between the Psychology majors?
The following Psychology majors are available to undergraduate students:
- Psychology in Society from the Bachelor of Arts (BP001) as a degree-specific major
- Psychological Science from the Bachelor of Science (BP004) as a degree-specific major
- Psychology from the Bachelor of Arts (BP001) and Bachelor of Science (BP004) as a degree-specific double major
Students intending on Psychology Honours should enrol in (1) Psychology in Society AND (2) Psychological Science; OR, (3) Psychology. Honours is required for professional practice.
For Bachelor of Arts (BP001) students wanting to complete (1) Psychology in Society AND (2) Psychological Science - some units are common to both majors. For example, the Level 1 core units PSYC1101, PSYC1102 and the Level 2 core unit PSYC2203 are common to both Psychology majors.
For pre-2012 students in a Bachelor of Arts (10110) or other related Arts courses, refer to the UWA Handbooks for the units required to complete either a single or a double major in Psychology.

Sunday night, the thickest layer of marine fog we've seen possibly all summer crept in and blanketed our piece of the coast in thick, cold grey. I didn't mind. I've always enjoyed the moodiness of the fog. But you couldn't help but note the timing. All week, we'd had sunny, warm days, with just enough light breeze to keep things comfortable. Now here we were on the eve of the eclipse and here was the fog, too, thick as the proverbial pea soap. It seemed yet another reminder from the universe: you can prepare all you like, in the end, what will be will be – as we had already learned just days before.
I wrote about the total solar eclipse here in the spring of 2015. It was an exciting prospect, particularly with landfall occurring right here on the coast, but it was still two plus years out, and few seemed aware of the still-distant event. Over time, however, the hype grew. Word had it that hotels were already sold out and those rooms available were going for astronomical rates. Soon, the county and state began weighing in with planning and preparations. Individual towns readied, too, some hosting parties, festivals and watching events.
But somewhere in the mix, the talk grew more ominous, including warnings that ATMs might run out of cash, likewise gas stations, fuel and grocery stores, food. Odds were good cell phones would not work and, in the event of an emergency, responders would be a long ways away. As the date grew closer still, the governor authorized deployment of the National Guard, the county declared a state of emergency and more than once we heard those simple words: "shelter in." Increasingly, talk turned to gridlocked roads, trespassing, wildfires and the litter — as if we didn't have enough of that already — and it began to feel like there would be a lot more shadowing our world than the moon.
And so I prepared. I had houseguests coming, and while they planned to stay for one night, I knew I'd need to plan on them being here — whether they wanted to or not — for at least a few days. In the week leading up to the big day, I found myself at the grocery store daily stocking up on supplies: water, toilet paper, propane, nutrition bars, milk, bread, tuna, frozen foods, soup … Wednesday morning at 8:45 — a time when the store is usually fairly empty — there were repeated calls for backup cashiers, further cementing my sense that all hell was about to break loose. I drove home, satisfied that we at last had enough to get us through whatever was coming. As it turned out, my guests cancelled. One feared she would have trouble getting back home to her cats. The others, a trio of usually adventurous college students, decided it might be wiser to forego the traffic jam and watch from home. I understood. Soon "No Beach Access" signs appeared on local streets along with road closure barricades awaiting use by the sides of the roads, and signs on private parking lots offering space for $100 a day. With daily press releases from the governor's office, ODOT, the Red Cross and the county emergency office, things were looking kind of grim.
And then came Thursday. I left 15 minutes early for a hair appointment five minutes away, and found the roads surprisingly quiet. Soon, the quiet, got, well, quieter. And then, eerily so. There was no one here. As more than one person said, it was the greatest non-event since Y2K.
Eclipse Monday dawned with a layer of coastal fog, but the sun burned through, and moments before show time, the fog drifted away. We put on our eclipse glasses, loaded up the cameras we'd protected with eclipse filters and settled in for our first total solar eclipse. We were not disappointed. Soon, the temperature dropped, the fog moved back through, but the show went on. At the moment of totality, a cheer went up around the neighborhood, the street lights flipped on, dogs barked and then it was quiet again. And beautiful. A one-of-a-kind moment. Too soon, it passed, the world began to lighten again. The garbage trucks rumbled up the road. Fred Meyer sent notice that eclipse souvenirs were now half price. And once again, it was just another Monday at the coast — albeit quieter, cleaner and once again, reasonable, too.

Malaria & Safety – Makgadikgadi Pans NP
In our opinion, Makgadikgadi Pans and Botswana are very safe destinations. There are very few issues of serious crime, and even less that could affect tourists, especially those on an organized safari.
The safest way of getting around is flying around from lodge to lodge. Keep your valuables locked away as you would on vacation anywhere, but there's no need for extra precautions.
Botswana is a popular self-drive destination. Makgadikgadi Pans NP is, however, very remote and exploration of the park is only recommended for people with a lot of 4x4 bush driving experience. Venturing outside the park is extremely risky and should only be done as part of a serious expedition with several vehicles. There are several campsites without facilities, so you need to be fully equipped.
Malaria & Vaccinations
Be sure that you receive the appropriate vaccinations before visiting Botswana. Though there are no major health concerns, Makgadikgadi Pans does lie in a high-risk malaria zone. It is advisable to take antimalarial medication. Safety measures to reduce the risk include using insect repellent (containing a minimum 30% DEET) and covering up in the evening. Malaria risk in the rainy season is particularly bad.
Wildlife Viewing
Visitors should always be extremely cautious around wild animals as they are unpredictable.
When on an organized safari, you should always listen to the instructions of your guide. When on a self-drive safari, it is essential to remain in your car, aside from designated areas where it's safe to get out of the vehicle.
For more information, please read the 'wildlife viewing safety precautions' below.

So our group meeting went pretty well on Friday… it was a long and hard brainstorm session… and my brain did hurt so very bad afterwards… But we got to visit the Sameunderneath store in NE Portland (AWESOME).
As for HMH, the people there are soooooooo wonderful. There seriously aren't words for me to describe how much help they have been. I finally feel comfortable and at home, and on Thursday, I have to leave 😦
Well, this past weekend, I took a trip to the beach…beautiful weather, and of course, I got sunburned like no other and now I look like a lobster; but it was totally worth it.
Just a reminder to everyone… make sure you take time out of your week to do things for yourself. It's not supposed to be business 24/7, don't forget to have some fun!

What next?
A man has been attacked by a hooligan group of cows running riot in a field. That said, they were perfectly fine before he invaded their space. Maybe they just didn't like the fact if him being a police officer, but do we blame them?
The lies, the corruption, the violence - it goes on. That said, they're not all like that, but it depends on where in the world you are.
I hope Inspector Chris Poole has learnt his lesson and refrains from invading the privacy of the usually calm and collected cows among us. When bizarre events like this occur, there is usually more to it - so what really happened?
I was picking apples from the apple tree in my garden the other day, they were quite nice. I'm going to grab some more and make an apple pie. It made me think, yes these apples are as fresh as I am going to get any fruit. I'm in the process of growing some strawberry plants, which will fruit next year and deliver some lovely strawberries to have with various other things. It's a shame we dug the rhubarb up, but we had other plans.
I think in the future, I'll try growing some other stuff.
Whatever happens, I think I'll pass on this 116 year old orange as the stuff I produce will taste fasr better.
Fancy that, a 1970 painting that has been found dumped on a New York street has been identified as work by Rufino Tamayo and is reported to be worth around $1 million (£488,000). I wonder if the person who dumped it was aware of the valuation?
Probably not, but I bet they are gutted now.
For anyone that is interested in buying it, it's going up for sale at Sothebys Latin American Art aution on the 20th of November.
