AzETA is a professional non-government, non-profit organisation of English teachers of Azerbaijan. It unites about 2,000 teachers throughout the country. It was established in 1995 and officially registered in 1996. Since its establishment AzETA works closely with British Council, Peace Corps and US Embassy in Azerbaijan. AzETA also seeks possibilities to co-operate with ELT and/or education related programmes/organisations both in Azerbaijan and world-wide. As a member of RENTA (Regional Network of Teachers' Associations) AzETA closely co-operates with the TAs of the region and implements joint projects and regularly seeks opportunities to extend co-operation with them. Since August 2005 AzETA is an Associate member of IATEFL (International Association of Teachers of English as a Foreign Language, UK). In June 2009 AzETA became an affiliate of TESOL (Teachers of English to the Speakers of Other Languages, USA).
The Mission of the Association is to provide support for high quality education in ELT, professional development of English language teachers of the country. For this AzETA very closely co-operates with the Ministry of Education to make its contribution to the Education Reform Project implemented by the Government of Azerbaijan. The Ministry supports all AzETA activities. AzETA mainly co-operates with the Department of the High School and Pre-School Education in Rural Regions of Azerbaijan as the majority of AzETA members come from the rural regions.
AzETA has a strategy of supporting ELT through different activities: teacher training, materials development, study tours, TV matinees, conversation groups, workshops, etc. Unlike support to one or two individual institutions, this strategy enables AzETA to assist the professional development of teachers of secondary schools and universities throughout Azerbaijan both in public and private sectors. Such a strategy has produced impressive results and builds networks of teachers, committed and empowered to implement Education Reform of the Ministry of Education.
So far, AzETA has branches in 10 regions of Azerbaijan: Baku, Barda, Ganja, Goygol, Ismayilli, Khachmaz, Lenkaran, Mingechevir, Sheki and Shirvan. Some regions have applied for launching a branch. AzETA, usually, gives 6 months' probation period to the potential candidates. If they pass probation period successfully, AzETA officially launches its branches in these regions. If probation period becomes challenging, additional 6 months' probation is given. Probation period can be extended 4 times maximum.

Labels: Gadgets, My MANy Bags News, Nokia
Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte
I have been contacted yesterday via email by Donna of WOM World (A blog sponsored by Nokia) to try out the new Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte, a couture like handset that fuses contemporary design with technology. I was very happy that I got selected for this privilege among others (Bagaholicboy included) to have first hand experience on using this new offering by Nokia. Looking at the press pictures of the handset, I am extremely impressed by the design already! What's left is to await the handset to my doors and I shall put it to the test to see if it really will fit the lifestyle of the modern individual, both in terms of functionality and style:-) Will return the handset back to WOM World after the trial in 2 week's time:-) Cool eh?
Click on pics to enlarge and see all the details of the phone. Lovely!
Will update more as soon as I get my hands on the new Nokia 8800 Carbon Arte! I am sure this will be a hit for tech and hi-style savvy individuals when the phone is launched. :-)

Sorry about the sideways photo. Can't figure out how to fix this.
I made this sheet goods cart after a post by another lumber jock. I wanted to store my 4×8 sheets "standing up" to save space. I modified the cart sides to 60" (from 48") and widened the base to 37" so cart would not tip. I had 3" casters (rubber), they work but if i get the chance I would replace these with 5" hard plastic casters for better rolling on my cement floor. The sides are at a 5 degree angle. Pretty simple build

Nice project.
As for the sideways picture …. don't turn your camera when taking a picture. Keep your camera in landscape mode. What that means is DO NOT keep your phone in the up and down orientation. Turn it so it's short and wide … SIDEWAYS.
If you are using your phone, turn it so it is sideways.

I added the 4" casters, you will need large casters. Make sure the are not soft. The cart gets very heavy. I'm thinking of adding handles, to make it easier to move around.

Oklahoma City to accept Lone Oak Farms land for park and trail development
The Oklahoma City Council voted Tuesday to accept 130 acres of the former Lone Oak Farms in far northwest Oklahoma City for park and trail development. Lone Oak LLC and Lone Oak Farms Homeowners Association are conveying the land to the City.
The property was historically a farm owned by Dean A. McGee, the late geologist, civic leader and philanthropist. The area, west of Portland Avenue along Bluff Creek between NW 150th and NW 164th streets, is named for a beautiful, solitary oak tree (click here for picture).
"This is a great opportunity to make this beautiful, rural land in Oklahoma City part of our public parklands," said Ward 8 Councilman Mark Stonecipher. "The Parks and Recreation Department plans to interview local neighborhoods to develop a multi-use trail and playgrounds on the property that is a great fit for the type of natural environment along Bluff Creek."

Anachron is a star system in the Veil Sector. Located on the Cylon side of the sector map, this sector has a threat level of 5. This system contains the following npc Colonial ships: Viper Mark II (Levels 11 and 15), Raptor (Levels 11 and 15), Rhino (Levels 11 and 15), Viper Mark VII (Level 15), and Scythe (Level 14). There are no Cylon npc ships in this system.
This system also contains 2 planetoids for mining, a light Colonial freighter, Level 10 Worn Seeker Drones, Level 14 Worn Hunter Drones, Level 14 Worn Guard Drones, and Level 19 Rugged Hunter Drones.
Things of particular note this system contains:
- 1 Level 12 light weapons platform.
- 1 light Colonial freighter (escorted by Colonial strikes only).
- 5 debris fields which may contain salvage.
- 2 planetoids.
This system was often a favourite of Cylon players for farming of npcs. Whether this will remain the case after changes to the system's content with Update 46, and removal of the quantity of Colonial npc ships, remains to be seen.
An easy level Freighter in Distress Dynamic Mission will spawn in this system from time to time.
System restrictionsEdit
Only a maxium of 10 Colonial pilots may be in the system at any one time. Colonial Outposts will not spawn in the system.
A maximum of 2 x Brimirs may be in this system at any one time. A maximum of 6 x Surturs may be in this system at any one time.

Polyamory might just be the solution to our low marriage stats and high divorce rate. Glossary at the end of this article, great reference for writers of erotica and those interested in this style of relating-ship.
"For weeks, Sydneysiders and Melburnians who believe menages-a-trois and other polyamorous relationships can be just as committed, loving and valid as marriage between a man and a woman, slaved away together to earn their place in the sun.
They drew up plans, sawed wood, hammered nails.
Finally, in early March, it was ready: the first float celebrating polyamory to join the colourful flotilla in the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras.
For psychologist Nina Melksham, it marked the moment when the poly community, like gays and lesbians a generation ago, had come out of the closet to stand up and be counted.
"The polyamory community has always been supportive of the values of equality and acceptance," Melksham told Inquirer this week.
"Participating in the Mardi Gras was a natural way for us to affirm these values."
Boosted by this success, Melksham and her polyamorous friends are planning an even bigger show for next year's festival.
The polyamorous community has a further cause for celebration.
They believe last weekend's vote by the ALP national conference to change the party platform to legalise same-sex marriage is a base on which they can build.
The agenda now is to seek recognition and the removal of prejudice against multiple-partner relationships, perhaps legislation to grant them civil unions and even legalised polyamorous marriage.
"My personal view is that any change that moves us towards a more loving, open and accepting society can only be a positive," Melksham says.
Melksham runs a counselling practice in Lilyfield in Sydney's inner west catering to polyamorous clients. She describes her own domestic arrangements as "a bit complicated at the moment": she lives with her former husband, who she describes as her "best friend", and is in a "vee" relationship with two boyfriends who live separately.
"I had the experience of being deeply in love with more than one person at a time. I had the choice to either deny the reality of the situation or grow and become a more accepting and tolerant person."
The polyamorous community in Australia is a broad church, with the slogan of its very active website being "ethical non-monogamy".
It is increasingly prominent, with organised groups in most capital cities that hold regular discussion sessions and social nights.
Polyamorists generally distinguish themselves from the monogamous gay community, and from those seeking kinky casual sex. Some also see themselves as different from heterosexual polygamists where the "hinge" member has sexual relations with the two of the opposite sex, but the two of the same sex do not have sex with each other.
Rather they may form, in polyamorist lingo, a "polyfidelist triad" in which there is an equilateral triangle of sexual activity.
Such was the argument of 46-year-old Victor de Bruijn and his 31-year-old wife of eight years, Bianca, when they were formally united in 2005 in a small Dutch town with Mirjam Geven, a recently divorced 35-year-old whom they'd met several years earlier.
Although Dutch law bans polygamy, because there was no actual marriage in the technical sense, just a common law civil contract, the trio's union was allowed.
Two court cases, one in Canada last month and one in Australia earlier in the year, show that while British-based law remains resolute against multiple partner marriage, it accepts that a common law threesome is not illegal or even necessarily family-unfriendly.
In the Canadian case, British Columbia Chief Justice Robert Bauman upheld Canada's anti-polygamy law, but left polyamorous families free from sanction if they do not commit an overt act of multiple marriage.
The Australian case involved a man whose wife had left him for another man and a woman, and taken the children. When the trio set up house together, mingled their respective offspring, and shared the same bedroom, the jilted husband applied to the court seeking an urgent order that the children be removed from the "immoral" household.
But magistrate Philip Burchardt rejected the application, saying the threesome seemed to be "thoroughly decent and honest people" and "I do not regard the relationship . . . as being damaging to the children."
One of Melksham's boyfriends, Stuart Dixon, believes polyamorous civil unions or marriage are set to come on to the national agenda following the ALP conference vote.
"I personally feel it would be appropriate to have some sort of legal recognition of multiple partners," Dixon said.
For those who fought the battle last week at the ALP national conference in support of the change of the party platform, the emergence of "poly pride" is a dangerous development.
Inquirer this week contacted some of the most vocal supporters within the ALP caucus for legalising gay marriage: Finance Minister Penny Wong, Schools Minister Peter Garrett, Social Inclusion Minister Tanya Plibersek, Transport Minister Anthony Albanese, left convener Doug Cameron and Stephen Jones, who plans to introduce a same-sex marriage bill.
Inquirer asked them: "Do you, given your deep commitment to the topic, believe that at the next ALP national conference the platform should be further amended to legalise marriage among polyfidelist triads?"
Not one would speak to Inquirer on the topic, and most did not reply.
After some pressure, Attorney-General Robert McClelland responded, going out of his way to make clear that while gay marriage might be on the agenda, legalised menages-a-trois were not. "Irrespective of whether the definition of marriage is extended to include same-sex couples, there has been and is no suggestion that the definition should extend to polygamous relationships," a spokesman said.
Even the whisper of recognising polyamorous unions presents two threats for supporters of gay marriage: one from the Right, the other from the Left.
Niko Antalffy, a sociologist at Sydney's Macquarie University who has studied polyamory and has been "actively polyamorous for about seven years", says: "Of course they are scared.
"Having multiple partners sounds radical and they know that it won't fly with the mainstream community," Antalffy says.
"If you want to promote gay marriage you want to distance yourself with the slippery slope argument as much as possible, so no one will think that marrying your goat is next."
The polyamorous marriage concept has indeed given conservatives such as NSW upper house MP Fred Nile more ammunition following the ALP national conference vote. "I warned people this would be the next stage," Nile tells Inquirer.
"You'd get threesomes, foursomes, fivesomes, wanting the same rights. Some people even say they want to marry their pet animal."
The polyamorist threat from the Left to the gay marriage campaign is more subtle. It raises the question whether those who support gay marriage on the basis of equal rights are hypocritical in not being prepared to even discuss the possibility of committed polyamorists being eligible.
The polyamorist community includes a large component of tertiary-educated professionals and academics because, they say, they are able to assimilate the intellectual sophistication of the polyamory thesis.
"We now know that sexual monogamy is neither natural nor common and has never been," Antalffy says.
"The institution of marriage and cultural assumptions of monogamy arrived with agriculture and property ownership. In the last four to five decades everything has changed, though: religion has lost its grip on life, we are rich in material goods as well as opportunities, we have greater choices in lifestyles, there's more equality and equality of opportunity, women can make do without having to be married to a man who keeps her.
"And this brings out human desire, which is multifarious to say the least. Polyamory is the sweet result of modernity.""

I'm sorry you have to deal with all that pressure! To me, in the big scheme of things, arguments like these ones (parents vs child or belief vs disbelief) really don't have much of a point. Life is short. Maybe one day your dad will just hope for your happiness in your decisions. But hey, I don't know much, my parents don't have restrictions on who I date, they just hope that I am the happiest I can possibly be at all times.
Good plan with the website and your sisters! Haha it might keep you off your dad's mind for a bit. Good luck michelle, I'm rooting for you!

Soooo glad your first date went well! I don't think I went on my first date with the boy until like 6 months into the relationship! Like an actual date that is. Going to the same highschool helped fill the void I guess! We went to Tim Hortons for breakfast after a party, and the rest was history! No kiss goodnight?!!

I'm glad there's no such way to look into the future, so I don't have to worry about it! But I am back and forth – I would and I wouldn't. Like, I'd love to know if I'm going to live for the next 70 years, but I don't want to know who I get married to or which of my immediate family will go first.
gosh, now you've got me thinking!

Question: What was the show called that featured a teacher going out with an actress? The theme song was Joe Jackson's "Is She Really Going Out with Him?"
Answer: Actually, to be a nitpicker (which is, after all, what I do), it was Sugar Ray's rendition of Mr. Jackson's far-superior version of that song.
Anyhow, you're thinking of the short-lived I'm with Her, which debuted on ABC in September 2003. Based on creator Chris Henchy's relationship with real-life wife Brooke Shields, it focused on a high-school teacher (David Sutcliffe) who finds himself romantically involved with a star (Teri Polo) and the zany complications such a situation brought about. Problem was, he wasn't with her for long. The show was gone the following April.

Sometimes in life, we see something that truly makes us reevaluate life. For a lot of people, they find themselves facing a tragedy or an unfortunate situation and they don't know how to carry on. For others, they see a problem and they try and figure out how to work around it – this story is about one of these humans.
A video recently caught my eye on Facebook which truly left me in awe. In the video, you can see a guy at a gas station filling up his semi truck. But that wasn't what makes this video so incredible. It's the fact that the man was in a wheelchair.
Yes, this guy is a trucker who hasn't let a disability get in the way of doing the job he loves. The video was filmed by a guy at the gas station who witnessed the wheelchair-user get back into his truck. Like us, the guy filming was in sheer awe of this man's dedication to his work. No hurdle was too big for this guy.
This disabled truck driver doesn't let any obstacle get in his way from doing a job he loves
People are very impressed with his work ethic – you can't say this guy doesn't give it 110% because he is dedicated. Aaron Williams posted in the comments about a time when he met this disabled truck driver:
I met this guy the other day. I was getting ready to dock and get loaded myself but I couldn't back in till he moved his truck out of the way. He's a good man, we talked for a while and he showed me his truck and everything. He asks no help from no one. He does everything from opening the back doors to his trailer to changing his oil. After hearing what he does, I can't help but wish others were as driven and motivated as this old man. Hats off to you old timer, hope to run into him again sometime. – Aaron Williams
How awesome is this guy? It just goes to show that no obstacle is too big if you really set your eyes on something. Never let a disability hold you back and keep on trucking!
Watch the video below to see the inspirational truck driver in action. Also, at Happiest we love hearing all of your opinions. So please let us know what you thought of the article in the comment section. ?

We distributed over 4500 condoms, 1500 stickers, 200 posters and 650 phone pop holders to various organisations across the State.
In addition, we would like to thank the many organisations who accessed our downloadable resources and the many individuals who engaged with us on social media throughout the campaign.
So far, we have received very positive feedback about the campaign materials as well as suggestions for future campaigns. We look forward to planning for another successful National Condom Day in 2020.

SHQ Staff Profile
I am Cara Taheny, Registered Nurse in the clinic. My one year anniversary for working at SHQ is March 27!
What do you love about working at SHQ?
The clinical team I work with are brilliant. Everyone is on the same page and are very helpful. I've always loved working in sexual health because those that do are usually non-judgemental and are as weird as me! We laugh a lot here and help each other out when needed.That's important to me in a workplace.
What would you like to achieve this year?
I've always wanted to do my Nurse Practitioner in Sexual Health. I think I might be contemplative at the moment – we will see.
What is something you enjoyed working on/got an opportunity to be a part of at SHQ?
Completing my Implanon insertion/removal training so that I can offer more in clinics. I really enjoy it. I also like participating in training upstairs from a clinical point of view.
If you didn't work in sexual health, what would you be doing instead?
If I was to change my career pathway I think I'd go into Palliative Care. Sexual health has helped me be able to have difficult conversations with people, and I think this is transferrable to this field.
What have you been doing/bingeing recently?
AFL Fantasy is coming up so I'm in research mode for that. Lots of binge watching Netflix lately like Wild Wild Country, The Keepers and Dirty John!

The potter's field, a forgotten piece of local history
By J. Chambless
Clarence Murray found the potter's field to be a place of piece, and he spent a lot of time mowing the field and planting flowers.
Steven Hoffman
Staff Writer
Chadds Ford resident Helen Sipala was a small child, her parents,
Arlice and Gertrude Murray, settled into their new home on land that
was owned by the county and was the site of the Embreeville State
"We moved into the house when I was 2 years old," Sipala explained during an interview in April. "I am 83 now, so it was a long time ago."
It was, in fact, 1936. Arlice and Gertrude had moved from the Sparta, N.C., area to Pennsylvania in search of work, which was difficult to find at that time – and more difficult down south where the Murray family was from. Arlice and Gertrude had been small farmers in North Carolina, and Arlice took a job with Chester County, which operated the Embreeville State Hospital and the Chester County Home on the same property where the new Murray home was located. Arlice would oversee the farming operations on the property at a time – the 1930s, 1940s, and early 1950s – when the hospital property was largely self-sufficient.
There was a farm on the property, and the fruits and vegetables were grown there in a garden. There were even cows for milking and hogs for meat. The food that was grown and produced on the farm was sufficient for all the facilities on the property. Patients in the hospital did the laundry, handled the sewing, and worked the land, tending to the crops and contributing to their own well-being in a variety of ways.
"The patients worked all around our house," Sipala recalled, "and we became very familiar with the patients. We knew so many by name because we grew up with them. When they would die, we knew they were going to potter's field."
A potter's field, or paupers' grave, is an American expression for the burial of unknown or indigent people. The origin of potter's fields can be traced back to the Bible. There is a reference to Akeldama, which was purchased by the high priests of Jerusalem for the burial of strangers, criminals, and the poor. It was paid for with the coins that had been paid to Judas Iscariot for his identification of Jesus. The term "potter's field" comes from Matthew 27:3-27:8 in the New Testament, in which Jewish priests take 30 pieces of silver returned by a remorseful Judas after he betrayed Jesus:
Then Judas, who betrayed him, seeing that he was condemned, repenting himself, brought back the thirty pieces of silver to the chief priests and ancients, saying: "I have sinned in betraying innocent blood." But they said: "What is that to us? Look thou to it." And casting down the pieces of silver in the temple, he departed, and went and hanged himself with a halter. But the chief priests, having taken the pieces of silver, said: "It is not lawful to put them into the corbona, because it is the price of blood." And after they had consulted together, they bought with them the potter's field, to be a burying place for strangers. For this the field was called Haceldama, that is, the field of blood, even to this day.
The potter's field was about an acre in size, and was also situated, by the time the Murray family moved there, on property owned by the Embreeville State Hospital. The origins of the small cemetery can actually be traced to 1798, when the cemetery was started for a poorhouse that was located nearby. That poorhouse expanded over the years, eventually included an asylum, and then became the Embreeville State Mental Hospital.
By the time the Murray family moved into the house because Arlice had gotten his job with the county, there were two neighboring houses back then. Today the only house of the three left standing is the one that the Murrays lived in.
In 2004, Sipala and her five siblings compiled some stories and photos into a book, The Murray Family 1936-1955. The book documented their personal experiences growing up in the small community. It talked about the delights of growing up in such a small community. One illustration: Mr. Eikeldinger, the baker for the Embreeville State Hospital, would share delicious gingerbread cookies and sugared doughnuts with the children. The Murray family would have to take the bus to West Chester or Coatesville if they wanted to do something really special, like go to the movies, but there was plenty of fun to be had in the neighborhood.
"It's a family story of our life there," she said, explaining that the work is not just a family history focusing on the family itself, but focusing more on what their experiences were.
Sipala said that when she was growing up, she and her siblings had everything that they could ever want right there outside their home – the Brandywine Creek, a railroad, and a bridge were all nearby to keep them entertained for endless hours. They spent a lot of time fishing or swimming in the Brandywine Creek.
"It was a playground," Sipala said. "It was anything a kid could ever want."
Arlice and Gertrude made sure that the children understood that the hospital was not a place to play or fool around in.
In the book, the Murray siblings recalled that, "We were only allowed to go near the buildings on the immediate hospital grounds with permission and for a purpose. However, many activities occurred in the farm buildings and fields near our home. We never missed a chance to watch from a respectful distance."
Sipala said that growing up around the patients taught the Murray children to be understanding and respectful to them.
"It was a very interesting life and it humbled us," she said. "We never thought negatively about the patients."
In the decades in the middle of the last century, Embreeville was treating people with a wide range of ailments―sometimes they could be very minor ailments or disorders, but at the time there weren't other support systems or resources available to help people who suffered from disadvantages. The Chester County Home provided a safe shelter for people who couldn't secure a home of their own.
Sometimes, the Murray children would see horse-drawn wagons hauling caskets to the potter's field. Chester County had the need to provide a grave for those people who had no family to claim the body when they died.
This scene is described in The Murray Family 1936-1955: "If we happened to be playing outside, our mother would have us stand still and face the road in silence as a matter of respect as the casket was drawn past the front of our house."
Sipala explained, "Our parents were southerners, and in the south, you show respect."
The Murray family lived so close to the potter's field that they could see it from their front porch.
Growing up so close to the Embreeville State Hospital and to the potter's field made an impact on the Murray children. In the book, they wrote, "The area, neighbors, friends, school, hospital, and even some of the patients helped mold us into who we became later … you can't put a price on that and you can't take it away."
Arlice and Gertrude built their own home about a mile away from the one where Sipala and her siblings grew up in during 1955. By that time, four of the six children were old enough to have already moved out of the house.
The Embreeville State Hospital continued to evolve through the decades, as the state changed how it operated its hospitals, but eventually closed its doors.
The potter's field is still there and is being maintained. There are about 200 markers in the field. They are not grave markers. When people were buried there, it was often in haphazard fashion, and sometimes people were buried on top of each other. Indian Hannah Freeman, who is believed to be the last of the Lenni-Lenape indians in Chester County, is said to have been buried in this potter's field, but other sites have also been suggested as her final resting place.
Sipala said that in later years, her brother, Clarence, found the potter's field a place of peace.
"He would walk up there every single Sunday unless it was raining hard or snowing," she explained. He would take his own lawn mower there and mow the grass to keep the field looking neat. Clarence would even plant bulbs in the field, using the end of his cane to clear a spot for the bulbs. Today, the potter's field is part of the ChesLen Preserve, which is the largest privately owned preserve in the county and is managed by Natural Lands.
Sipala said that she is glad that she kept scrapbooks of pictures and information about her childhood home and the surrounding area. She's particularly glad that she and the siblings took so many pictures, documenting a somewhat forgotten piece of local history.

Sailing My River ....
I've been listening to one of my Garth Brooks albums, while catching up on house work. Actually, if the truth be told, quite a back log of house work!!!
' Callin' Baton Rouge ', ' Ain't Goin' Down Till The Sun Comes Up ', ' The Fever ' and so on, are good moppin' floors music !!
However, ' The River ' really touches a chord within me..
Many of us are going through our own 'rough waters' right now.
Be it the serious illness of a loved one, dealing with job loss and the depressed economy, coming to terms with our pasts, our own health scares and so on.
For me, my life is a river. It has it's rapids and rough waters, however it also has it's calm, sheltered stretches.
My river will be 'ever changing'.
I can choose to sit on the 'shoreline' and maybe dabble my toes, or not ... or I can 'choose to chance the rapids and dare to dance that tide'.
A long time ago I chose to ride my river. I'm not sure at what point in my life it changed from an unconscious choice to a conscious choice....from allowing myself to float along to taking control of the paddles.
There have been a number of shipwrecks along the way. I've shot more than my fair share of rapids. Somehow though, my boat has always righted itself, and patched up and with the help of my support crew, set sail again.
This verse in the song, says much of what I'm trying to express..
'There's bound to be rough waters
And I know I'll take some falls
But with the good Lord as my captain
I can make it through them all...'
How do you survive you own rough waters?

That is one of my favourite Garth Brooks songs. We have just got a new stereo (hand me down) and I can't wait to do the housework to Garth blasting. Actually it would be him or Rascall Flatts at the moment

Not a country music fan but I do find Garth Brooks tolerable. ;)
I'm all about some chocolate (which goes against the whole Zone thing, but whatever!) when times are rough.

Beautiful, thought provoking post.
I love your attitude 'My river will be 'ever changing'.'
How very true and worthwhile to hold onto when times are rough... knowing that things will change.

- Full Description
A monograph on the forgotten visionary artist Herbert Crowley (1873 – 1937), a British artist, set designer, and comic strip cartoonist. He exhibited in the Armory Show alongside Picasso, was published in the New York Herald alongside Winsor McCay--and mysteriously vanished. Crowley was an innovator at the dawn of comics, and a defining figure of the early 20th century avant-garde. His newspaper strip The Wigglemuch was printed next to Little Nemo in the New York Herald. He had a close relationship with Carl Jung, and was a noted mainstay of the burgeoning NYC experimental art scene. And yet he's been essentially erased from history.
Aside from a very small selection of his comics, none of his artwork has been published or collected in any form. Until now. Over the course of six years of deep research, the editors unearthed a huge number of Crowley paintings, sculptures, illustrations, comics, prints, engravings and ephemera. Contained in this tome you'll find hundreds of jaw-dropping images of otherworldly shrines, whimsical cartoons, grotesque creatures, nightmares and dreamscapes. You will encounter impossible symbolism, encrypted glyphs, and the yearning visual poetry of a brilliant, tormented spirit. Enter The Temple of Silence, and behold the strange, astonishing visions of a lost legend of modern art.
His illustrations were featured alongside work by Picasso, Matisse and Van Gogh in the 1913 Armory Show that gave birth to modern art in America. This impressive, oversized hardcover offers his work in the best light. Behind deluxe embossed and illustrated covers are handsomely large reproductions, many from the original artwork. Quite a few Wigglemuch Sunday pages are here in double-page size. His sculptures remind us a bit of the work of Clark Ashton Smith, and his fantasy illustrations make me think of the fine work of Sidney Sime, who would have been a contemporary.
Here's a small portion of an online review from author Dan Nadel of The Comics Journal:
There are, as we increasingly know, a startling variety of artists who came through comics in one way or another. One of the most unusual was Herbert Crowley, who only published fourteen installments of "The Wigglemuch" in The New York Herald in 1910, some of which I reprinted in my 2006 book, Art Out of Time. Then Crowley mostly vanished from the published record. Some of the original art for these strips, along with other drawings, were exhibited in 1966 at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in a two-person show with Winsor McCay, an exhibition that I remember some of the NYC-based underground cartoonists mentioning as important.
Looking back on my own interest in the strip, now I realize that "The Wiggglemuch" strips were partly compelling because Crowley suggested an affinity with a larger and also esoteric visual and literary culture, which was unusual in comics at the time. The spiritual allusions, stiffness, and symbol-driven character design also suggested another way to think about comics entirely: less drawing-based and more like moving sculptures. I wondered then, as many others did, just how he intersected with comics. As it turns out, Crowley really was just stopping over. His life and work is now the subject of a large and generously illustrated book, Herbert Crowley: The Temple of Silence by Justin Duerr. It is the kind of scholarly and research-driven deep dive that I wish for about... well, most everything. Duerr gathers every conceivable strand of Crowley's unusual and extremely complicated life and work and weaves them together into a coherent and quite moving whole.

Banner details - the finishing touches
Need to order some vinyl banners to promote your upcoming event or advertise your company's products but need some direction on what finishing touches to add on them? Not to worry, Banner4Sale has some finishing details for your banner that will make the ordering process easier, your banner will look better and hanging process more simple.
Lets take a look at some finishing touches that Banner4Sale offers - Trimmed edge vs. Hemmed edge. This would vary based on how you are displaying your event banner.
What specifically is the difference between a trimmed edge and hemmed edge and why would I want one style over the other?
- A trimmed edge is a raw-cut edge with no finishing. Some people prefer this look for their photo back drop banners and other hanging banner styles.
- A hemmed edge is a double stitched sewn edge. The material is folded over about an inch and then sewn. This adds durability to the edge when we add metal grommets. We use a hemmed edge on all double-sided banners because we actually sew two banners together and using our hem machines is the only way to do that.
- A seamed edge is the same as a hemmed edge in that the edge of the material is folded over about an inch and pressed together. The main difference here is that a seamed edge is actually welded together and it is super clean looking. A seamed edge is the cleanest and most durable finishing possible for Banner4Sale.
Grommets or No Grommets? - Is this standard or is there a fee?
- Metal grommets are a metal ring that is added to the edges of the vinyl banner for easy hanging ability.
- Standard grommet placement is every two feet, however, you can place them wherever you need them...corners, top or bottom, you tell us and we will take care of it for you.
- Standard color grommets are silver, however, you can special order black or white if you wish (these will be slightly different in the cost). Talk to a customer service rep for these lovely rings if you wish to add black or white grommets.
No matter what you order for your banner, Banner4Sale ensures quality products and efficient turn around time. Best of all, the finishing touches come at no extra cost to you. Yup, that's right, grommets, hemming and trimming are all part of the complete package.
Let your Banner take a stand!
What do you do when you need a display banner for a trade show booth and want it to stand up, not hang? You get a retractable banner stand that shows off your special events banner in the best possible way. That's right, a banner stand is not only easy to put up and take down, its so portable.
No more getting up on a ladder to hang your event banner or rolling it up when you are done. This retracts up and down and ta-dah!! All done! It even comes in a nice case to pack it away in or carry around to your next event. Don't care for silver, no worries, we have black as well for your stand up banner.
You can choose which banner material works best for your stand up banner too, 13oz or 14oz super smooth. Both options work well for indoor or outdoor events and take little space but make a large statement. This pack up and display is the perfect solution for those who travel from event to event and don't have the time or resources to hang a display banner. Now you have the perfect solution for your next display banner.

International Women's Day is the celebration of each and every woman who has made the world a better place to live with their existence in it. Cherish the contributions of the women in your life by giving them the love, care and respect they deserve each day and every day.
Acknowledge the efforts of the women in your life by making them feel truly special; the following flowers are regarded to be the perfect pick for those women who tend to make our lives better by being in it:
- Gladiolus: This pretty flower is also known as Sword Lily owing to its resemblance to the shape of a sword. A prominent member of the Iris family, the blossoms of Gladiolus is closely associated with perseverance and strength as it was extensively used by the Romans to mark and celebrate the victory of the Roman Gladiators. Celebrate the inner strength and power of perseverance of the women in your life by felicitating them with a stunning bouquet arrangement of Gladiolus on Women's Day.

Make this International Women's Day special for your grandmother and mother by surprising them a beautiful bouquet of their favourite roses and acknowledge their loving presence in your life. You can either handpick bouquets for them or simply send flowers to Pune through a service of online flower delivery in Pune.
- Lisianthus: Most women may seem soft and fragile but they harbour a sense of maturity and emotional strength that make them stand out from the rest. Show your respect to the woman who is made up of strong mettle and has shouldered major responsibilities better than the most. Send such women a bunch of pretty but sturdy Lisianthus or Eustoma that match the virtues of the recipient in the true spirit.
- Sunflower: Just the way the pretty blossoms of sunflowers liven up in the presence of the sun, the most important women in your life tend to liven up your spirit with their loving presence.

i had Trial Advocacy final exams the saturday after my birthday (which blows) which also made it so that i couldn't really do anything over the weekend to do a big birthday blow-out. this still ends up working out well tho b/c considering exams are May 1st it's much better to reserve the current time for studying and have a birthday party after exams. and that's what the plan is.
let me preface this by saying i love my friends. since i couldn't have a party my good friends decided to have a nice dinner instead. o wait, i'm getting ahead of myself. so the friday before my Trial Advocacy i was pretty much focusing on preparing for my final-which was a mock trial and i had to be on the defense side of a rape case-but i got a call from Coleslaw who had just gone to see Forgetting Sarah Marshall which i couldn't go to b/c i had to meet my defense partner. however, i didn't have to miss out b/c Coleslaw called to invite me to go watch the movie w/her. no, you didn't misread that. Coleslaw was willing to watch the movie two times. in a row. she thought the movie was that awesome. and i won't lie: it was pretty damn good.
"Snuffle-of-a-gus fucks my shit up"ok, now we're up to speed. so for my quiet birthday celebration we went to dinner at Noodle Pudding which i've never been to. totally worth it. yummy yummy italian food and such a lively atmosphere (sometimes to the point of noisy) but totally worth it. i had the yummiest linguini puttanesca and a bottle of pinot noir for only $26! we were debating on ordering dessert but then Egg revealed that he had a surprise dessert for me at home so we decided to forgo dessert and head back to Feil. however, Coleslaw and i did partake in a shot of limoncello. yummy. i haven't had that since i was in Bologna visiting Nells.
turns out Egg bought me the cutest and densest chocolate birthday cake. it was adorable. and then we started to watch crazy youtube videos. we watched little kids playing guitar hero, little kids dancing to thriller, and Unicorn Planet. and then somehow the convo turned to how there is a website for every fetish that a person could have (i don't remember how this conversation happened). and Coleslaw, as an example, used cast fetishes. and none of us believed her so we googled it. and it turns out, yes, there are many websites devoted to cast fetishes. just to clarify, a cast fetish is when a person gets turned on by watching girls who have casts scratch them-the cast that is,not the person watching. weird.
in case you didn't realize this, i'm kind of a frail little girl. whenever the weather changes drastically i inevitably get sick b/c i never wear the right clothes. so on birthday dinner night i wore the cutest dress with a cardigan but it ended up being a little balmier and windier than i thought. and so i got sick. blech. and that turned into strep throat so double blech. however, what really freaked me out was when my mom called me on monday night. i'd decided not to tell her i was sick or else i would get a scolding about how i always let this happen etc. so when she called, in my most normal voice, i answered, "hello?"
and her immediate response was, "so you're sick huh?"
it totally took me by surprise! i immediately responded with "how did you know?" and she replied b/c i always get sick when the weather changes like this so she just knew i was. but i still found it eerie and an example of how strong a maternal instinct can be.

Farewell to Mark Webber & The RB6 exhibition
This week we have said farewell to our temporary feature exhibition 'Mark Webber & The RB6', which has been a on display at the Museum since February 2016.
"I'm so proud that the RB6 has had an incredible home for the last two years at Haynes International Motor Museum.
I know many people have enjoyed seeing the car close up in such a pristine condition, and I'm sure Red Bull Racing are delighted that a piece of their history has been such a popular featured display.
The only reason it's leaving, is to go back to a venue where the car enjoyed incredible success. It's fitting that The Silverstone Experience will be its next home.
A big thank you to Haynes for creating a wonderful exhibit and taking such good care of her." - Mark Webber
Mark Webber's RB6 F1 car has left Haynes International Motor Museum permanently this week and heading to its new home at The Silverstone Experience.
Australian Mark Webber retired from Formula One in 2013. Since his F1 career began in 2002 at the age of 26, Mark has notched up an impressive 217 races, nine victories (notably a double at the prestigious Monaco and British Grand Prix), 42 podium finishes, 13 pole positions and 19 fastest laps. Mark finished third in the World Drivers' Championship three times, including in 2013 enabling him to leave the sport while very much at the top of his game.
Haynes International Museum's Collection team has plans for a new feature exhibition, which will be announced in the near future, so head to our social media pages to keep up to date with the latest news.

the weight of the atmosphere on earth holds everything down
Quotethe weight of the atmosphere on earth holds everything downActually, it is Earth's gravity that holds the Earth's atmosphere down (and Earth's gravity holds you & me down, too). Earth's atmosphere actually buoys us up, slightly. If you were weighed in a vacuum, a 75kg person would be about 80g heavier (ignoring minor details such as death). This is most obvious in the case of a helium balloon, where the atmosphere buoys it up more strongly than gravity pulls it down.It is true that at this time, there has been no direct detection of gravitational waves reported. the 1993 Nobel Prize was awarded for discovery and analysis of the orbit of a binary pulsar system which behaves as if it is radiating gravity waves - this is indirect evidence for gravitational waves. Unfortunately, at a distance of many light years, the steady gravitational waves from orbiting pulsars are too weak to detect with current Earth-based equipment.Astronomers expect that more violent events in our stellar neighbourhood would generate detectable gravitational waves, eg actual colission of two pulsars, or two black holes, or an asymmetric supernova. Unfortunately, nearby examples of these spectaculat events are rather rare (or fortunately, depending on how you view the stability of our environment on Earth).Astronomers are continuing to improve the sensitivity of their gravity wave detectors - one proposal for a gravity wave detctor in space would be very sensitive (but also very expensive). See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gravitational_wave [nofollow]
This relates to something that should be in the new theories area.I have downloaded the pamphlet redrooster mentions in his first post from "the free information society" websitehttp://www.freeinfosociety.com/media/pdf/3935.pdf [nofollow]Howard appears to be fascinated by some of the quirky effects of multipole magnets and is looking to create a perpetual motion machine but he says little or nothing about gravity which is a totally different force from magnetism for many obvious reasons. So it is perfectly clear that red rooster is; either a troll wishing to have a verbal fight with someone as his second post appears to show, or someone inexperienced in the topic who has completely misunderstood what the author and paper he quotes is talking about.
I got interested in science years ago from reading newspaper accounts of Dr David Blairs endeavors to discover gravity waves. Einstein had predicted them 100 years previous and people have been looking for them ever since with no result,so the question must be asked.
Do they exist? So far,as far as I know, the answer is a resounding NO.
Obviously the weight of the atmosphere on earth holds everything down.
On the moon,mars ect... with little or no atmosphere it would be mostly natural magnetism that holds you down,..
Obviously the weight of the atmosphere on earth holds everything down.
To play devils advocate may I suggest it is magnetic forces that holds the atmosphere down (it probably also helped the astronauts to walk on the moon) !!!!!!
The tenuous atmosphere on the moon..
Well of course for these practical purposes there is an atmosphere on the moon.

If the baby was named Ducati he could go by Duke.
Some friends asked me to create a witty drawing for a wedding gift involving couples, motorcycles, and religion. This is what I came up with. (Although their version has the man asking "God" for a sign rather than the "universe".) If you want comics created for you on a certain topic I can do that. But it will cost you. 🙂
Me and My Shadow
My shadow follows me
everywhere I go,
a constant reminder
that I have a dark side,
allowing me free choice.
But how free is it really?
If I choose to become
my shadow
what happens
to the me
of the Light?

Setting the questions for a recent pub quiz at The Willoughby allowed me the indulgence to revisit my childhood when, for a few years, I was an enthusiastic collector of picture cards given away with packets of Brooke Bond PG Tips tea.
I collected a few books but the most complete collection, and the one that I remember the best, is British Butterflies.
It seemed to be the idea book to use this for the picture round.
There are 50 butterflies in this collection from 1963 and at that time I also collected live butterflies (I'm not very proud of that now) so the pictures were very real to me.
It was, I thought, a clever combination of the dead easy, e.g. Red Admiral, and the rather difficult, e.g. which Fritillary is that?
In the actual quiz the teams that seemed to know a lot about everything revealed that they know absolutely nothing about British butterflies.
I think that the top score was 4/18, and that was thanks to the new Polish barmaid recognising the Peacock.
As luck would have it, another regular came in half way through the quiz, too late to take part, and not only made it obvious that he knew all the butterflies but he started describing their caterpillars too!
As a round in a pub quiz it proved to be something of a failure but as a reminder of part of my childhood it was a great success.
I am now looking at Brooke Bond tea cards on eBay!

Used Unotelly in the past but have recently moved to Dns4Me - everything works as expected except subtitles are still coming through even though I have set them to be blocked.
After trying all the usual things such as rebooting, switching to other regions etc., I raised a support ticket this morning. The answer I received was :
"Unfortunately Netflix made some changes a while back that made our subtitle blocker redundant."
So basically the subtitle blocker does not work - might be nice if there was a note on the services page about that!
Anyway, does anyone have a way around this on an AppleTV 3rd generation?

Ever since the Kavanaugh hearings have been taking place, I have been troubled. Deeply troubled. Initially, I was troubled on many levels:
*As a victim of molestation, harassment and several unwanted very physical advances the narrative brought back several memories and, of course, the pain that accompanies it. I have wept for Dr. Ford - for the constant stream of venom being spewed toward her. I have wept for the many victims out there who have never spoken up and certainly won't speak up now. Truly only Jesus knows the truth - although I find it hard to believe that anyone would knowingly set themselves up for this kind of spectacle and hatred.
*As a wife of a man who I adore, I have wept for Kavanaugh and for his family. I have cried over what all of them must be going through.
*As a mother of three girls, I have wept for them. Statistics say that that 1 in 3 women will be victimized in some way. So I pray fervently for their safety.
But I have been most troubled AS A CHRISTIAN. I am watching my friends and fellow brothers and sisters in Christ - people that I have admired and looked up to - spew the most hateful and vile things I have ever heard. Mocking her. Demeaning him. Laughing and taking delight in all of this by gleefully reposting "funny" character assassinating memes and jokes about both Dr. Ford and Judge Kavanaugh. My beloved friends have made sweeping judgements on both sides.
She's "bought and paid for by the democrats", "despicable", "liar" etc ….
He's a "disgusting pig", "probably raped many women", "liar" etc…
I have read lengthy arguments between fellow believers or, worse, between a Christian and someone who isn't a believer and have been sickened by the words they seem so comfortable typing out.
The fact is, WE DO NOT KNOW WHAT HAPPENED. ONLY JESUS DOES.
Here is what we DO KNOW - as Christians, there is a higher standard we are called to uphold. I keep waiting for someone, anyone, to respond like Jesus. It isn't just morally wrong to be this combative. The Bible calls it sin. I've certainly been guilty of it many times. The tongue is a powerful weapon. The book of James puts it like this:
"No human being can tame the tongue.
It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.
With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father,
and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God's likeness.
Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing.
My brothers and sisters, this should not be."
James 3:8-10
I pray that we would be as quick to pray and show compassion to these people as we are to judge them. I pray that we would be as prepared to share the hope of our salvation as we are to pounce on an opposing point of view. I pray for peace. I pray for mind of Christ. I pray for my brothers and sisters. I pray for the victims. And, like Christ, I will pray for the victimizers as well.

Originally posted at Campus Reform by Peter Fricke.
Gonzaga University has overturned its decision to close an upcoming lecture by Dinesh D'Souza to the public, conceding that the restriction was based on concerns about his words and views.
"The primary issue leading to the decision to not open the event to the public was a concern over the potential hurtfulness of Mr. D'Souza's words/views, and that this might serve to create a hostile learning environment," University President Thayne McCulloh told the school community Friday in a statement that was also shared with Campus Reform.
Conservative students expressed outrage last week upon being informed that only students, faculty, and staff of the university would be allowed to attend the February 24 lecture, claiming they were told that "D'Souza's beliefs are contradictory to Gonzaga's 'social justice' mission," and specifically that "he is 'homophobic' and 'anti-immigration'."
Gonzaga initially countered that "the parameters of this event are in line with Gonzaga's longstanding and common practice of balancing a broad spectrum of viewpoints while providing a supportive learning environment," but has now revised that determination in response to an official appeal from the school's College Republicans chapter.
"A clear intention of the policy is to make the outright prohibition of a speaker's appearance on campus a decision of last resort," McCulloh notes after elaborating on the original rationale for restricting attendance at the lecture.
"A fundamental principle that sits at the heart of Gonzaga's educational mission is the commitment to freedom of expression," he continues. "While this commitment is, for us, understood to operate in the context of and with respect for our Catholic, Jesuit, and humanistic mission, it is a critical component of the academic project—a project which seeks to educate our students to be critical, enlightened, and well-informed individuals."
While he acknowledges that administrators had probably exaggerated "the potential hurtfulness of Mr. D'Souza's words/views," McCulloh also points out that, "as a practical matter, the amount of publicity generated around Mr. D'Souza's planned upcoming appearance raises legitimate questions about how to meet audience demand while meeting our obligations to our students and community."
Moreover, "given that student fees and University resources form a primary source of support for this event," McCulloh says he settled upon a compromise solution that allows members of the public to attend the speech, but gives priority to students, faculty, and staff in ticket allocation.
There will be two ticket distribution periods—each with defined, well-publicized beginning and ending dates and times—first for the Gonzaga community and then for the public, with any unclaimed tickets to be made available to students, faculty, and staff on the day of the event. Additionally, the university is exploring the feasibility of videotaping and/or streaming the event online for those who are unable to attend in person.

Although the cowardly Moris would no longer ally with the Hosokawas after the betrayal at Odawara, the Ashikagas who were sworn enemies of Chinkaro had no option but to do so. Together, the renewed alliance of Hosokawa and Ashikaga was a formidable force. As they marched to Odawara for the second time, Chinkaro was gravely worried. Obviously, he could not use the same trick twice against even a fool as Kanematsu.
Hojo Tokimasa, founder of the Hojo Shogunal regency which
Preceded the Ashikagas.
As he looked from his balcony, his wife Nanako could see his worry. Though unbidden, she offered him her advice, "Take up the mantle of my father. Be the Lord of Hojo."
"Are you insane?", Chinkaro asked, "Did you not remember that I slew Katezumi with my own hands?!"
"What choice do you have? Did my father not offer to adopt you before the Battle of Otaku? Without the support of the Hojo clan, you will surely be defeated."
Chinkaro thought over this for a long time. Finally, he decided that he really had no choice. He hath slain Hojo Katezumi, but that was because he was serving the Ashikaga shoguns, who were now his bitter enemies. Furthermore, he was married to Nanako, now the heiress of the Hojo clan, and she was right that Katezumi hath offered to adopt him before the great battle of Otaku.
Once Chinkaro picked up the mantle and proclaimed himself Lord of the Hojos, he took another name Hojo Soeun, and the warriors of the Hojo clan who went into hiding came out to serve him. Amongst their leader was the brave warrior Hojo Kirimatsu, whom he appointed general of equal rank with Yanitaka himself.
Now, the Hojo clan was much revived, and they strengthened his army in the upcoming battle against the Hosokawas and Ashikagas. However, the allies had a large force, and the brave One-Eyed led the front army, so they were much too haughty.
Yoshitori pointed an accusing finger at Soeun and said, "Ha, now, you have proved that you are nothing more than a rebel. My brother's trust was grossly misplaced.", but Soeun merely ignored him.
Just then, the One-Eyed taunted the Hojo soldiers, "Are there but dogs and cowards amongst the Hojo traitors that none would come out to challenge me in combat?!"
Now, Kirimatsu was a true-born Hojo warrior, and he would not give in to such insults. He heard that the One-Eyed once held mighty Yanitaka in battle, so he requested that he be given the challenge, to which Soeun replied, "Good, General Kirimatsu. Go silience the Hosokawa dog for me."
So Kirimatsu rode out to meet the One-Eyed in combat, and they battled like the gods on Mount Fuji. Fifty swords did they fight, but finally Kirimatsu's arm failed him. He was tired, and in one fell swoop, the restless One-Eyed slew him. Casting aside Kirimatsu's proud head, the One-Eyed shouted, "Who next will it be?"
Yanitaka was about to volunteer, when Soeun forbade him. "Let there be no more sacrifice on my behalf. I shall fight him myself."
Yanitaka was distraught, for though he was unsure of defeating the One-Eyed, he certainly did not want his Lord to fight the battle himself. "Surely, this is most unbecoming, Lord Soeun. You are a daimyo now. The army will be leaderless without you."
But Soeun would not listen, "I was the greatest general in Japan before I was daimyo. Is this not the reason you follow me, Yanitaka? If I shall die, then you shall be Lord of Hojo in my stead. Besides, do you think that overgrown gorilla can really beat me?"
"But…", Yanitaka protested.
"Silence, Yanitaka! Stand down now. This is an order, and it is every samurai's duty to follow them." Soeun said curtly.
And so, Yanitaka stood down, and Soeun rode his white stallion forth to combat. Perhaps, it was the lightning swift blow of the Katezumi Sword, or the One-Eyed's own tiredness, but in one swell swoop, the greatest warrior of the Hosokawa fell to the ground lifeless.
The Hojo troops cheered until their lungs were sore, as Soeun basked in their admiration. Finally, Yanitaka ordered the charge. Once again, the Hosokawas and Ashikagas were defeated. The cowardly Shogun Yoshitoro managed to escape from the field back to Muromachi, but Kanematsu was captured. In return for his release, the Hosokawas ceded the southernmost province of Mino to the Hojos.
For many decades, the Hojos who had once ruled Japan were cowered, but now under the leadership of Soeun, their power would rise, and soon, they were threatening once mighty houses such as the Hosokawas and the Ashikaga Shoguns themselves.
