Inspired by the Amish belief in dance as a satanic pursuit, my work explores the concept of dancing with the devil. By combining the Amish perception of dance as a distraction from their normal agrarian lifestyle and rhythm of life, with the Western notion of dance as a form of escapism, I wish to depict dance as a channel of self-expression.

Mark-making is an integral part of both Maya Le Bransky's and Mike Parr's practices. Study the use of line in these works. Describe the types of lines. How do they convey emotion and what emotions do they convey?
Make sketches of the human form using a variety of mark-making techniques. Change the types of lines – thick, thin, sharp, soft, broken, quick – to heighten the emotive quality of the work.

Dynamics Duo: Everybody needs an Identity
In yesterday's episode we very briefly touched the identity and authentication part of the demo where, on the self-service site, the attendee registers using Windows Live ID. In this episode we go a lot deeper.
Identity and authentication is hard. Simple, scalable and secure login capabilities require a great deal of experience to build and a great deal of effort to maintain and keep running. Windows Live ID provides you a proven solution for building identity-aware applications and is used today by over 460 million users.
In our case, since we've integrated Live ID into the system, we let Microsoft manage all the details related to identity and authentication. Live ID assigns each of our users a token that is specific to our site. That means Microsoft lets us know that the person coming to the site is the same person that registered. That token is unique to our site so that from the perspective of the user their privacy is protected (e.g. they cannot be tracked across multiple web sites). In fact, the token is the only thing the site will see. So even though the user may use an email address and password to login to Live ID the site never sees that unless the user explicitly provides that information (as in our example by typing it into a profile page).
The simplicity of this is just amazing. As a developer I just have to register my site with Windows Live ID and then redirect my users to the Live ID login page whenever I need them to be authenticated. Live ID handles the authentication and then redirects back to a page that I've registered. You can even brand the Windows Live ID login page that your users will see so that it will appear as if it is your own login page. Nice!
While Windows Live ID does a great job of helping me as a conference organizer to identify and authenticate my conference attendees, we also need to authenticate the Windows Azure site to the Dynamics CRM site so that they can exchange information. We're obviously not going to have CRM licenses for all our self-service users (the thousands of conference attendees in this case) so we use a certificate on the Windows Azure site to ensure that only that site has access to the CRM data. Once the certificate is on my Azure site, we use a Live ID service account to handle the authentication between the two servers.
This episode is part of a 5-part series. In this series we've tried to explain how you can combine the Microsoft Web Platform with Dynamics CRM to quickly build and deploy self-service solutions. The full set of videos include:

Spirits were high last week as manufacturing executives gathered in Scottsdale for the National Association of Manufacturers Spring Board of Directors meeting. The largest manufacturing association in the United States, NAM represents small and large manufacturers in every industrial sector and in all 50 states. The Arizona Manufacturers Council (AMC) is the official state affiliate of NAM.
The guest list included a star-studded collection of world leaders, celebrity speakers and top executives from iconic American manufacturing companies like PING, Ball Corp., Anheuser-Busch and others.
Vice President Mike Pence, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey, former U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Nikki Haley, SBA Administrator and WWE co-founder Linda McMahon, and economist and author of "Trumponomics," Stephen Moore, were among the featured speakers.
Consistent themes throughout the event emerged around the positive economic effects of NAM-driven policies like federal tax cuts and regulatory reform. The need for certainty on trade – particularly the need to develop an innovative, enforceable agreement with China and a strong sense of urgency around the passage of the USMCA – also remained at the forefront. The AMC and the Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry remain committed to leading advocacy efforts at the state level.
"Manufacturing in the United States is on the rise, and manufacturers are confident about the future," said NAM President and CEO Jay Timmons at the three-day event at the Phoenician. Timmons is widely regarded as one of the most influential leaders in Washington today.
During the first quarter of 2019, an average of 91 percent of manufacturers reported an optimistic outlook about their own company and the economy according to the NAM Manufacturers' Outlook Survey released March 5th. There were 12,834,000 manufacturing workers in February, with almost 1.4 million employees added since the end of the Great Recession – the most workers in the sector since December 2008.
While momentum is building, manufacturers expressed common concerns around trade, infrastructure deficiencies and workforce shortages.
During his remarks, Vice President Pence urged manufacturers to "send a strong message to members of Congress in all 50 states that it's time to approve the USMCA, and we must see it approved by Congress this year. "
Arizona's international trade relationships remain vital to our state's economy, especially with our strongest trading partners, Mexico and Canada. In 2017, Arizona exported $7.5 billion in goods to Mexico and $2.2 billion in goods to Canada. Trade with Mexico and Canada supported over 236,000 jobs in Arizona during the same year.
The AMC and the Arizona Chamber are working full tilt with the Arizona delegation to create a sense of urgency around the passage of the USMCA. The deadline for the U.S. International Trade Commission (ITC) to release an assessment on the agreement and its economic impact is expected in April of this
year and Congress will begin consideration of the agreement following the release of the ITC's assessment.
"Ratification of the USMCA is the single most important issue facing Arizona. More than 236,000 Arizona jobs depend on our trade relationship with Mexico and Canada," Arizona Chamber of Commerce and Industry President and CEO Glenn Hamer said.
On the workforce side, the tightest labor market on record is welcome news to employees and jobseekers. However, a red-hot job market often spells challenges for employers.
Recent studies show nearly 3.5 million manufacturing jobs will be created in the next decade. But 2.4 million of those jobs could go unfilled. The inability to attract and retain employees remained the top concern for the fifth consecutive quarter in the NAM's Manufacturers' Outlook Survey. One in four respondents indicated that worker shortages had forced them to turn down new business opportunities.
Dawn Grove, Chairwoman of the AMC and Chairwoman of the Workforce Arizona Council added, "Manufacturers are growing so rapidly, they are necessarily reaching out to new populations — hiring returning citizens, those with disabilities and many who have been out of the workforce for years. Modern manufacturers are implementing advanced technologies, automation and robotics to improve quality, bolster safety and better compete globally, such that American manufacturing workers are becoming better skilled, more productive and receiving higher wages than ever before."
In Arizona, efforts are underway to create a pipeline of manufacturing workers through the power of Career and Technical Education. Career and Technical Education (CTE) programs are being developed that give students the hands-on skills needed to enter and succeed in the workforce.
The AMC and the Arizona Chamber strongly support Governor Ducey's fiscal year 2020 budget plan which includes a $10 million investment to expand CTE offerings across Arizona. Through a grant program, high schools with CTE programs will receive up to $1,000 for each student who graduates with a certification in specific industries.
During a special edition of Ham(m)er Time filmed at PING in Phoenix, Hamer and Timmons sat down to discuss current workforce challenges and how technological advancements will continue to fuel demand for skilled workers.
The two-week, eight-state tour concluded in Phoenix last week, with additional stops at Intel in Chandler and Four Peaks Brewery in Tempe.

The industry is expected to add more than 12,000 new jobs in the state by 2020 according to the Arizona Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO). OEO projects an annualized growth rate of 3.6 percent for the manufacturing sector between 2019 – 2020.Read More

The storage wars are on. Pogoplug launched a new online storage service today, Pogoplug Cloud, with 5GB of free storage and (surprise!) the option to buy more.
Pogoplug Cloud lets you upload files directly form your mobile devices, share through email, Facebook, Twitter, and Google+ and stream HD video, photos and audio to your phone.
Of course, if you do need more, you can purchase additional online storage from Pogoplug ( 50GB for $US9.95/month and 100GB for $US19.95/month) or host a private, unlimited cloud for no monthly fees by buying a Pogoplug box.
The 5GB free is a better deal than the 2GB Dropbox serves up for free, the same as iCloud's free storage capacity, and considerably less than the limited time 50GB offer from Box.net. At this rate, pretty soon companies are going to start paying you to store data. [Pogoplug]

Smells like the Honeysuckle flower.
Aroma Crystals
Put the crystals in a sachet set them in a drawer, hang them in the closet and hang them in the car. Put them in jars and set them anywhere. Take the lid off and smell the wonderful aroma. You can get creative with the crystals by adding them to potpourri, the bottom of your trash can, set your makeup brush handles in them, put fake flowers in the sachet and then put that into a small flower pot. Put fake flowers in the jar with the crystals. The flower ends up smelling like the scent in the crystals. If you want that to happen a bit faster put plastic wrap or cellophane around the flowers and sachet and/or jar for a few days. When you unwrap it the flower smells like the scent. You can put a small amount in a sachet and put it in the filter part of your vacuum. Great for a small bathroom too.
Pick the scent of aroma crystal you want then pick the sachet bag or jar you want to put them in.You will be getting about 8 ounces of aroma crystals. It can last up to six months. Not for the bath. Do not eat..

Post subject: Wetsuit help
Need a new suit. Been using an old scuba short arm 2 or 3 mm. I hear windsurfing specific suits will be a dream compared. Probably wont go out in air colder than 60 F, but water could still be in low 50's. Even on days here in Chicago when air is 75 F or more, water may still be 50's or worse. Need something for occasional dunk. Not in water long!
Looking at either Neil Pryde or O'Neill here in the states. I hear Neil Pryde have soft skin which is better for windchill but not quite as durable as O'Neill. Also, have heard O'Neil is more flexible and made for surfers? Would think they need flexibility in arms as well? O'Neills website has way to many suits and very confusing!
Any advice would be great. Looking at a full suit, either 3/2, or 4/3. By the way if I go 4/3, is it really that much more constrictive than a 3/2? Not looking to spend more than $200 if possible. Thanks for your help!

Sounds like you don't have the luxury of a local shop to try a suit on first before buying so I'm guessing your researching on-line. Suits are all really good now a days - I've been using surfing stlye wetsuits for more than 20 years and they work fine for windsurfing for me but I'm average sized. You need to select a size that will be snug fitting but not restrictively tight or too loose either. O'Neill and Xcel are both really good brands with reputable customer support should you need it. Don't know anything about Neil Prydes suits. Think about the type of entry into the suit you want (front zipper as opposed to back zipper) - the front is easier to close obviously but are typically a bit tough to get in/out of due to the smaller opening in the suit to squeez thru. $200 is a good budget to work with - the higher priced suits are typically made of softer more flexible material and can often tear or wear out more quickly but they offer more comfort, warmth and flexibilty. A 4/3 suit will be a bit warmer with slightly less flexibilty but it sounds like a 3/2 would be fine for your applications. Think of your suit as also being a means to survive in the water for an hour or more should something break or you get stuck out in the water for an extended period of time - it happens to everyone sooner or later. If you think you'd like to talk with an experienced sales person - try giving one of the shops that advertise on here a call like isthmus sailboards. I've had good experience with them in the past when ordering gear over the phone.
Good Luck,

Yes, what rswabsn said. Plus, scuba suits have nylon skins on both sides for durability, but when a nylon skin is wet and out of the water, evaporation makes those suits cold in the air. Windsurfing suits have smooth skin on the outside to avoid the evaporation cooling effect. The down side is that they tend to tear more easily if snagged on something or if you aren't careful while pulling them on. Too snug on the forearms and you will pay a price, so a good fit there is everything.
You have to try them on to find a good fit.
Good luck

Promotion, at
Their seams are guaranteed for LIFE, and in over 40 years of wetsuit sports (surfing, then windsurfing) I've never had better suits, one full and one shorty. You can call them up & talk about sizing if you're an unusual fit, and if the one they ship you isn't just right, it comes with a return label for easy mailing. They make windsurfing-specific suits, and are based in the Gorge, so they know what they're doing. You'll never get better or friendlier service anywhwere, and their wetsuits are the bomb!

I would want a 4/3 minimum and designed for windsurfing, i.e. smoothskin
all around (for less evaporative cooling), and slightly larger forearms for
less fatiguing. I'm also a ProMotion fan.

I agree with the above, go with a windsurfing specific suit. They have more room in the arms compared to a surfing suit.
50 deg water and 60 deg air is still pretty chilly, I'd say a 4/3 or possibly even a 5/4/3. A lot depends on your personal preference. Using a hood/beanie is a good way to add extra heat on cooler days.
However thinking you'll only be in the water for a "dunk" is foolish. When it comes to cold water windsurfing, you need to plan for being in the water for an extended period (i.e., you break a mast, get separated from your gear, have to swim in).

Always best to try on a suit if possible. Fit is key to both comfort and warmth. If I recall, Windward Board Sports on Clark carries O'Neill and South Port Rigging in Kenosha carries Pryde suits. As an added bonus if you buy local you'd probably get some good advice on what the other local sailors use most (4/3, 3/2 etc.) in your conditions.

Smooth skin like the NPs are better , becouse they protect from the windchill and you can get away with less thickness. Downside they get damaged easily /Aquaseal to the rescue /. A tried and proven /by me/ trick to achieve the same result with a standard cheap wetsuit is to put a windbreaker type garment top and/or bottom over it. Just make sure it doesn't have a second solid layer or intact pockets that could fill up with water.
Btw I also live in the Chicago area and I use a 5/4/3 NP smooth skin and a 3/2 regular for when the water gets above 50, i also use a long john fleece and neo socks for additional isolation and ease of getting in and out. A neo cap and boots are mandatory too, open mits are optional. My threshold for going in is air temp 40 and water in a liquid state.

I love my new NP 5/4/3 suit - so easy to move and warm - I don't even think about the temp but just enjoy windsurfing which is the idea. I also have a shorty for cool summer days. Whatever brand you choose be sure to get a smooth skin wind sports specific suit. I ordered mine from isthmus sailboards - no affiliation

Whatever kind of suit you buy, just dont be the dick who goes to a store, spends an hour trying on suits, uses the shops resources and employees, and then goes and buys the same thing online in a futile effort to save $20. People who do that are worthy of our strongest scorn ..and I hope they get dysentery soon.
Its hard to go wrong these days with so many great manufacturers out there. I like Hotline wetsuits (www.steamerlane.com ..dont try Hotline.com, youll get more than you bargained for)

The New Life: Words of God for Young Disciples of Christ
BY Rev. Andrew Murray
Chapter 35 The Prayer Meeting
"Again I say unto you, that if two of you shall agree an earth as touching anything that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the midst of them" kjv@Matthew:18:19-20.
The Lord Jesus has told us to go into the inner chamber and hold our personal conversation with God by praying privately--not to be seen by men. The very same voice tells us that we are also to pray in fellowship with one another.1 And when He went to heaven, the birth of the Christian Church took place in a prayer meeting which one hundred and twenty men and women held for ten days.2 The Day of Pentecost was the fruit of unanimous, persevering prayer.
Everyone desiring to please the Lord Jesus, longing for the gift of the Spirit--with power for their congregation or church--and wanting the blessing of fellowship with other children of God, should attach themselves to a prayer meeting and prove that the Lord will make good His Word, bestowing a special blessing upon it.3 And let them take part in it, so that the prayer meeting may be such as the Lord presented it to us.
For a blessed prayer meeting, there must be, first of all, agreement concerning that which we desire. There must be something that we really desire to have from God. We are to be in harmony concerning this. There must be inner love and unity among the petitioners--all that is strife, envy, wrath, lovelessness, makes prayer powerless4 --and then agreement on the definite object that is desired.5 To achieve this, it is entirely proper that what people are to pray for should be stated in the prayer meeting. Whether one of the members wants to have his particular needs brought forward, or whether others would bring more general needs to the Lord--such as the conversion of the unconverted, the revival of God's children, the anointing of the teacher, the extension of the Kingdom--let the objects be announced beforehand. And let no one think that there is complete agreement whenever one is content to pray for these objects. No, we are all to take them into our heart and life, and to bring them continually before the Lord. We are to be inwardly eager that the Lord should give them. Then, we are on the way to the prayer which has power.
The second feature that characterises a proper prayer meeting is the coming together in the name of Jesus with awareness of His presence. The Scripture says, "The name of the Lord is a strong tower: the righteous runneth into it, and is safe" ( kjv@Proverbs:18:10). The name is the expression of the person. When they come together, believers are to enter into the name of Jesus, and to find within this name their fortress and abode. In this name, they mingle with one another before the Father, and out of this name they pray. This name also makes them truly one with each other. And when they are thus in this name, the living Lord Himself is in their midst. He says that this is the reason why the Father certainly hears them.6 They are in Him, and He is in them. Out of Him they pray, and their prayer comes before the Father in His power. Let the name of Jesus truly be the point of union--the meeting-place--in our prayer meetings. Then we will be conscious that He is in our midst.
Then there is the third feature of united prayer of which the Lord has told us--our request will certainly be done by the Heavenly Father. The prayer will certainly be answered. We may well cry out in these days, "Where is the Lord God of Elijah?" ( kjv@2Kings:2:14), for He was a God that answered. "The God that answereth by fire, let Him be God," said Elijah to the people (kjvKings:18:24). And he said to God, "Hear me, O Lord, hear me, that this people may know that Thou art the Lord God" (kjvKings:18:37). When we are content with much praying, with continuous praying, without answer, then little answer will be given. But when we understand that the answer is the principal thing--the token of God's pleasure in our prayer--and are not willing to be content without it, we will discover what our prayer lacks and begin to pray that an answer may come. And we may firmly believe this--the Lord takes delight in answering. It is a joy to Him when His people so enter into the name of Jesus, and pray out of it, that He can give them what they desire.8
Children of God, however young and weak you may still be, here is one of the institutions prepared for you by the Lord Jesus Himself to supply you with help in prayer. Let everyone make use of the prayer meeting. Let everyone go in a praying and believing frame of mind, seeking the name and the presence of the Lord. Let everyone seek to live and pray with his brothers and sisters. And let everyone expect to surely see glorious answers to prayer.
Blessed Lord Jesus, who has given us a commandment to pray--in the solitary inner chamber as well as in public fellowship with one another--let the one habit always make the other more precious as a complement and confirmation. Let the inner chamber prepare us and awaken the need for union with Your people in prayer. Let Your presence there be our blessedness. And let fellowship with Your people strengthen us to expect and receive answers. Amen.

1. There are many places in our country where prayer meetings might be a great blessing. A Christian man or woman, who once a week, or on Sunday, gathers together the inhabitants on a farm, or the neighbours of two or three homes that are not far from one another, might be able to attain great blessing. Let every believing reader of this portion inquire if there is not already some such need in his neighbourhood. Let him make a beginning in the name of the Lord. Let me therefore earnestly put the question to every reader--is there a prayer meeting
in your district? Do you faithfully take part in it? Do you know what it is to come together with the children of God in the name of Jesus, to experience His presence and His hearing of prayer?
2. You could obtain a book on prayer with suitable passages to be read aloud in such gatherings. Or read this book, The New Life, which will certainly give material for prayer.
3. Will the prayer meeting do harm to the inner chamber? is a question sometimes asked. My experience is just the opposite of this result. The prayer meeting is a school of prayer. The weak learn from more advanced petitioners. Material for prayer is given, as is the opportunity for self-searching and encouragement to more prayer.
4. If only it were more common in prayer meetings for people to speak of definite objects for which to pray--things in which one can definitely and trustfully look out for an answer, and concerning which one can know when an answer comes. Such announcements would greatly further agreement and believing expectation.

Sometimes inventions, even the important ones, aren't pretty. Case in point: this vomiting robot. It could help us understand, and then battle, an illness that no one's found a cure for in 40 years. Even if it's not the cutest 'bot out there.
The unfortunately but appropriately named Vomiting Larry is an anatomically correct model of a freshman at a frat party and, more importantly, an anatomically correct model of someone vomiting after contracting norovirus, a nasty bug that causes puking and diarrhea. It spreads fast--less than 20 virus particles can infect someone--and it's been a higher-than-expected year for infections.
For the most part, the virus isn't especially serious; people usually kick it in a few days. But for a lot of reasons, including the fact that we're unable to grow human norovirus in a controlled environment, we have to study the spread of the virus in other ways. That's where good ol' Larry comes in, helping us to model how puking could spread the illness. The spray can travel nearly 10 feet (!), and when even a tiny bit of the stuff can be enough to pass the disease on, it's important to get a grasp on exactly how the virus travels. It's widespread, too: 21 million cases are estimated in the U.S. annually, and the only virus more commonly reported is the common cold.
BBC has some video, and Larry comes in at around 2:43. (Spoiler alert: it's kind of disgusting.)
