text: Creativity ElfYourself Refuses to Die, as OfficeMax Introduces ElfYourself Live Seventh year for holiday appBy Tim Nudd|November 21, 2012 Share By Tim Nudd|November 21, 2012 Share There may be a few remote humans left in isolated areas of the Amazon who have not yet "elfed" themselves. Everyone else has. Yet OfficeMax's ElfYourself holiday app, introduced in 2006, refuses to go away—and in fact is coming up with new ways to digitally "elf" people for the side-splitting amusement of their moms. This year, any mothers who use YouNow.com, which is some sort of live video software, may be surprised—yet thrilled—when their cheeky offspring suddenly get "elfed" during a video broadcast. That's because OfficeMax is debuting ElfYourself Live on the platform. But there's more. In mid-December, the first ElfYourself mobile application will launch for Apple devices to "help holiday revelers create, share and view ElfYourself eGreetings on-the-go." You can create and share a holiday eGreeting at no charge through the app, "with the option to purchase additional dances for 99 cents each." The move toward anytime, anywhere elfing follows six years of increasing world domination. OfficeMax runs down the numbers: "Since ElfYourself debuted in 2006, people in all 196 countries across the seven continents have used the popular holiday website to create more than 470 million customized videos. Consumers have spent the equivalent of 7,124 years on ElfYourself.com during the 2006 to 2011 holiday seasons. To join in the holiday fun, please visit ElfYourself.com."

Our Art Historian at Lander always organizes a museum trip at the start of each semester. Last Saturday he and I met a group of students at The Columbia Museum of Art in Columbia, SC. It was a fun little day trip with great art and fun people. Here's how I saw it:
Museum and gallery visits are always interesting to me because they remind me of the continuing conversations we must have about art. As an artist and a professor, I'm supposed to have these questions nailed down, but if I'm honest, the questions of "is that art?", "why is that art?" and "is that good art?" are not always so easy to answer. The image above is a wall hanging work of art (forgive me for not remembering the artist or title) and it was one of the first things I saw in the museum. It immediately reminded me of these questions. I like it. Which is not something I allow my students to say. But I do. But is it effective? I was already smiling before walking into the first exhibit.
The first exhibit was a Japanese photographer and the entire gallery space was filled with images of the same subject, framed in exactly the same way, at the exact same size. Each photo was an image of the ocean and the sky. Different locations and different times of day, but everything else was the same. The entire gallery. Each photo was the same photo I take every single time I go to the beach. I love the ocean, the sky and that horizon line and I can look at it for hours. There's something meditative and compelling about it that exceeds the limitation of words. It puts me at ease. This exhibit did the same thing. Until I started thinking about it as composition and asking if it was art or if it was good art. Then I sat down and smiled more.
The next featured gallery contained several exhibits of the work of Katie Pell. This was clearly a 1970s themed exhibit and it was designed very well by the museum. There was even a spot with ogee print wallpaper and ugly chairs to sit and listen to vinyl records in the back. A nice touch. This is usually an alcove in the gallery used to encourage visitors to take selfies and post to social media. I liked this idea even better.
We entered the exhibit backwards as it was designed but it still worked well. The first gallery was pages from an artist book that Pell wrote and illustrated about her childhood in the 70s. I was born in 1972 and I felt an immediate connection with the images of being outside all day and playing in the woods and in a creek. Some of our students related as well even though their parents would be the same age as the artist.
Pell demonstrated her range of abilities with drawing, painting and sculpture. This giant charm bracelet was created using laminated plywood, a process my sculpture students are currently learning. Perfect timing.
This was the statement for the body of work pictured below. I loved the line "the excitement of our pointless and forgettable lives".
The distorted faces from yearbook photos really grabbed my attention. I love to examine faces and bodies and how different they are from one another. Of course this is frowned upon in public, so being able to sit and really stare was nice. Each warped face contained within it it's own spectacular beauty.
The next gallery had large ornate frame drawings that reminded me of old album art. While the drawings were mostly just around the outside edge of the work, you could sit for hours and continue to find new things. There was so much personal symbolism and imagery repeated.
In a looping video the artist talked about everyone having a story to tell and the importance of how that story is told. Each person chooses how their story will be told and they edit the details and the narrative based on those choices. This is an echo of an idea that has been buzzing around in my head for months. it's so important to listen to someone as they speak. Not just to what they are saying, but how they are saying it. The way they tell their story will tell you exactly what is most important to them. Really listening to people is similar to really looking at them. Except listening may be more socially acceptable.
The main exhibit of Pell's work, a collection of manipulated album covers was probably my least favorite part of her exhibit. In this exhibit she used her own manipulation of existing album art to tell various stories about other people. Her work was more impactful when it was about her own story.
www.katiepell.com if you're interested in more.
Then it was upstairs to the permanent collection to finish up. Everyone had split up and I was alone. I wasn't super excited to see the upstairs work because I go to the museum at least once a year to see the rotating exhibits and the work upstairs always seems the same. There are minor changes but I typically move through very quickly with stops to see some of the favorites.
I love religious work. Believe whatever you wish, but there's something transcendent about some of the old Christian art. I've probably mentioned that before but for me there's an easy connection between spirituality and creating art. Whatever your particular flavor of belief, I think we could come to terms with some sort of agreement on this idea.
The Botticelli always gets a sit from me. The symbolism and iconography in Early Christian art is so fun. When I learned about the symbolism in Freshman year Art History survey, I felt like someone had exposed a book of secrets to me. All this meaning was there all the time but I never got it. There's so much more going on that just what is depicted. It's a secret club just for art kids.
As the work got more contemporary, I got more interested. This creepy "angel" kid was a good one. The hair looked real and the sculpture had a presence in this space. It's funny how moving from the older stuff into the newer stuff immediately started raising the question, "what makes this art?".
An Eames chair. It was nice to see a section dedicated to modern design and plastic furniture. Eames thought good design should be affordable and accessible to everyone. I like that idea. It's like public art for the home.
Same room, a Frank Gehry bend wood chair. I'm a fan.
Jean Arp's "Seuil Configuration". It looks like I made it. Had to think about this one for a while.
Georgia O'Keeffe
Chuck Close
Warhol with a wooden hand in front
The works on paper exhibit had a lot of big names. This one is Magritte.
...and Matisse
...and Picasso
And this is our group with Warhol's "Mao" series. Several of these people are new to me, meaning I haven't had them in class yet but they were all fun.
Outside the museum, Main Street was blocked off for the farmer's market. Just behind the vendors there were some artists quietly installing crochet art on the utility poles.
If you've never seen this, it's called "Yarn Bombing" and it happens is a lot of urban areas.
Maybe crochet isn't the correct term. Maybe it's knitting? I don't know. Either way it's really cool. I watched a police officer try really hard to watch one of these go up without officially seeing anything happen. He liked it.
As far as unauthorized public art goes, this type gets my seal of approval. It's temporary, beautiful, thought provoking and it doesn't damage or destroy anything.
After the art it was taco time. As art people, we didn't really consider that we were on the edge of "gameday" in a big football town. The taco place was pretty much on campus and we had to detour around all the stadium traffic and search for parking spaces. Still, we got our tacos.
Columbia isn't very far from my house but I'm usually just there when I'm passing through on my way to the coast. Since I was there and had a belly full of tacos, I decided to stop in town long enough to check on a sculpture I installed a couple of years ago. "Curtis & Bob" was still looking good.
Then it was back home to contemplate the trip. There was some good discussion with a couple of students about what we saw and what made it good. The museum had a little display asking visitors to categorize works from the collection as "art", "not sure" and "not art". That was certainly a good starting point.
I am always interested in observing others. I enjoy seeing other people interact with art. There were some people who took minutes to go through the entire museum. Then there were others who didn't even get to see everything before it was time to leave. I love to see people sitting down in front of works of art and I like to try to figure out what they are thinking. Watching the Art Historian look at art was like watching a master at work. Since I'm an artist, I know that I look at art pretty different than most people. Almost immediately I judge the quality of the work. As if I'm seeing if it's even worth my time. Then I begin to look at the technique. I want to see how it was done. I get close and I inspect the edges, the brush strokes and the craftsmanship. I critique it for composition and concept. But I also become a regular person at some point and it either fits my personal taste or it doesn't. This is when I throw all the other stuff out the window and just enjoy the work or hate it.
Is everything in a museum or gallery art? Nope. Is some of it good art and some bad art? Yep. Is there a difference between fine art and design? Yep. What about between fine art and craft? Yep. But the stuff by the big name people, that's definitely good art, right? Nope. Ok, but the stuff you like, that's gotta be good art, yes? Nope.
Go see some art and find out your answers to those questions. Or buy me a coffee and we'll talk it out.

Ahoy, for the last time in 2019. As slowly as the sailing season began, the Summer and early Fall days sped by and we have now arrived at the final two sails of the season. The sailing events on Oct. 5 and Oct. 19 will both take place on Lake Geneva and have space at this time for additional crew. October is looking like a warmer than usual month this year, so make the most of these final opportunities and the Fall color in southern Wisconsin.
I'd like to thank all of our cruise captains, boat owners, and crew who enjoyed many memorable sails and companionship this year. Fourteen of our members shared their boats for close to twenty sails and eleven members donated their time as cruise captains to organize the sails. As a volunteer organization, the generosity of these members can never be overstated or over appreciated. Thank you!
I look forward to incorporating many of the ideas suggested at our September general membership meeting for improving various aspects of the sail sign-up and organization, and communication among all parties involved in the individual sails. I thank you for those ideas and suggestions and am always open to new ideas.
Have an enjoyable winter and think Spring thoughts.

I've met with countless entrepreneurs in my career, and I find myself continuously enamored by how they address the question of what they do every day when they wake up. There are a myriad of urgent tasks, and it's impossible to tackle them all.
Entrepreneurial endeavors are marked by significant opportunity and equally significant risk. At Originate, we've learned that once you've identified the opportunity, you must then focus on mitigating the risk in order to execute well.
This answers the question of what should be done each day – identify the biggest risk and act to overcome it.
It can be helpful to bucket these risks, and we use four categories to do so: Market, Business, Product, Technical.
It's not only critical to successfully identify a large market opportunity, but to also have an inherent advantage in that market. With startups, this typically comes from an individual with a deep understanding of the market supported by a vast network of connections.
An established company, on the other hand, has the ability to leverage existing relationships to gain an advantage over startups that would need to invest substantial capital into customer acquisition. The current battle for mobile payments between incumbents (Apple, Chase, MasterCard) and startups (Square, Venmo) is a great example of this.
The key here is to have insight into the market trends. Is regulation (or deregulation) changing the industry landscape? Are international markets opening up? Are incumbents losing their innovation advantage? A great vision can express an insightful view on the future of the market.
The leadership of the business will drive all important decision-making. If ineffective, everything falls apart.
This is particularly acute in recruiting. If a company cannot draw in the right staff (from customer success to engineering), the business will falter before it gets off the ground.
Another key risk here is funding. This is a factor in both startups and established companies; investors need to be convinced to fund the effort. Capital injection can come through a VC with funding from their LPs, management pulling from profits, or customers with money from their pockets.
Every venture needs a clear path to funding. The business model and milestones need to be designed to mitigate this risk. If you're looking to attract a VC, you need to recognize their expectation for 10x returns within 4-5 years. If you aren't designing for rapid, exponential growth, raising VC funding will prove challenging.
Product risk pairs with the aforementioned risks, but focuses on the end-user. Have you identified a key emotion or pain point that will trigger a need for your solution?
Originate leverages clickable prototyping to mitigate this risk. By running our target user (someone who matches the persona) through a lower fidelity "concept prototype", we can watch for signals that the solution resonates with them. This is an observational activity (we use the Think-Aloud Protocol), not an inquiry (never ask if someone 'likes it'!!).
Using these observations, we can then flesh out a higher fidelity "experience prototype" and watch for UX tension points that indicate key interactions need to be rethought.
Testing via prototyping greatly increases the likelihood of designing a product version that delivers something of real value to the user.
And by the way, a clickable prototype can also help to mitigate business risk. Nothing attracts stakeholders more than the ability to touch and feel the product early on.
There are two aspects of technical risk that we focus on: Architecture and Confidence of Execution.
With a rapidly changing technology landscape (especially in open source), determining what is risky and what is ready to be built upon is increasingly difficult – a trend that will only accelerate.
Experience with a range of technology stacks and architecture approaches is critical to making wise decisions.
Experience isn't always enough. Specific proof of concepts need to be developed to determine the best technology approach.
Is the framework flexible enough for rapid development? Can it scale to the needs of the launch? (btw – a common mistake is to design for too much scale too early which greatly limits your ability to iterate as you learn)
Is the framework in active development, but not changing so much that your engineer will need to spend half their time keeping up with all the breaking changes of new versions?
Confidence of Execution
Anyone who has built real software has experienced this – the first 80% of the features takes 20% of the time. The real pain comes in attempting to get the final 20% of the features over the finish line. This effort can drag on for months.
Typically, this is caused by features that are much more complex than anticipated. Sometimes that's because of a poor understanding of the product that's actually needed (which you can address via prototyping). But often it's the result of something that was much more difficult to achieve than anyone had realized.
The proof of concept approach can help in mitigating this. To determine a realistic timeline for implementing a complex feature, we can map out the riskiest technical pieces up front and put together throw-away code that will act as a guide. I've seen two days of POC save two months of development time.
Search is a great example. There are 4-hour, 4-day, and 4-month solutions to search. On a wireframe they all look the same – a magnifying glass with an input box.
Is a simple SQL lookup enough? Will Elasticsearch or Algolia out-of-the-box instance suffice? Or perhaps fully customized search with elaborate filtering options is needed? Let's grab some real data and examine the search results for various queries to find out.
Avoiding these rabbit holes is the key to delivering on time.
Once you have an understanding of the key risks within these four categories, you can rank them and implement mitigation strategies for each. Great products are the result of doing this quickly and thoughtfully.

Why do you need Shamanic Journeys in your life now!?
I have a vision that everyone knows how to journey, how to connect with their guides, and feels fully confident in their connection to Spirit.
Friends share their amazing stories of epic journeys they've gone on.
No one doubts that they have the natural ability to experience the Spirit World.
We don't need to take psychedelics or get high in order to have a deeper, more vibrant experience of life.
I've had clients who have been burnt out from taking psychedelics, and I want to let everyone know that you don't need them.
There's an infamous story about Ram Dass giving a massive dose of LSD to the legendary yogi Maharaji...
...and guess what happened? Nothing. (You can read about it here: https://www.ramdass.org/ram-dass-gives-maharaji-the-yogi-m…/)
Why did nothing happen?
Because Maharaji has shown us that if you have your mind "fixed on God" you don't need anything outside of yourself to cultivate your psychic powers and expand your awareness.
The more you journey and interact with the Spiritual realms, the more this natural ability is strengthened within you.
I remember seeing Sylvia Brown on TV when I was a kid, and having the thought, "Only certain people are like that. I'm not like that."
Later I realized what a lie that was. And most people still believe that lie, which is really robbing us of having a communion with Spirit.
You need to learn to journey now, because there is so much that awaits you, and humanity cannot wait any longer.
You have a whole team of Spirit Allies wanting to connect with you in this very moment, and they want you to know that you are not alone.
We cannot ignore the call to open our hearts and access the Spirit realms that have so much to offer us all!
Let us bridge this physical reality with the realms of Spirit, and create a happier world for our future generations.

Ascended Masters
I received this question the other day in the group Soul Journeys and I wanted to share my answer because others are bound to have the same question! 😊
Q: "I've really come to the conclusion lately that I need to make my spiritual practice/meditation a daily thing. I usually just ask "the universe" for guidance because I haven't yet felt connected enough to a particular deity. The idea of a deity limits the power of the universe for me. But I heard that on shamanic journeys you can go to the lower realm down some stairs and meet your spirit animals (both temporary and permanent ones) and go to the higher realm and meet your matron/patron deity. Is this true? I don't have any experience but I'd like to try! I've also heard we shouldn't go to the middle realm until experienced and even then to be careful because dark spirits and other entities can follow you back. Is this true?"
A: "Yes, that is true! Oftentimes the Ascended Masters - who lived many human lives on Earth that culminated in a life of such Self-Mastery that they left an extraordinary lasting legacy & positive impact - were deified for their abilities & power which actually everyone is capable of achieving but may have looked supernatural to them. I talk about this in 2 modules in my upcoming Shamanic Journey training course. We also journey directly to your True Self in one of the modules (which can also be called your Higher Self which is your direct connection to God/Goddess/Source). So while your True Self is your direct connection to Source, an Ascended Master is someone who lived a masterful human life on Earth embodying their True Self, and can mentor you in your own self mastery.
Sarah Petruno and I are discussing the modern day uses of Shamanism!
She gives some really great advice for those who are beginning to explore Shamanic practices.
If you are wondering about how and why to incorporate Shamanic practices into your life, this is a must watch!
How does your animal totem catch their prey?
Knowing this can shift your approach to getting what you want in life!

A message from Sigil Stone Publishing about their Kickstarter: Belly of The Beast. What I've read about this reminds me of the premise of the TV show Evolution/Revolution. I guess if you want to you could back this game and try to use this as a base for an Evolution/Revolution RPG.
The Belly of the Beast RPG Kickstarter is now live!
You are a scavenger. Driven by the primal instinct to survive, you venture into the depths of the Evergut in search of some remnant of the past that will postpone your inevitable digestion.
The land was resplendent once; sprawling forests, massive ranges, glittering coastlines. Hundreds of clans, nations, and empires carved their homes from mountain and glen – living and killing and loving beneath the sun-kissed boughs.
But that was a lifetime ago. For generations the survivors have known nothing but sorrow. The Hungry God consumed all, leaving the world as little more than a skinned carcass moaning to be put out of its misery. Millions were swallowed during the Great Devourer's gluttonous feast; and yet, humanity pressed on.
Belly of the Beast is a tabletop roleplaying game focusing on scavengers: brazen survivors that plumb the depths of a world-eating monster's guts, scouring the remains of the mighty Empires that were eaten by the Beast. Check out the Kickstarter page, any and all support is appreciated!

Samuel Beckett Theatre, Dublin
Oct 1-10
Again, if you look through my archive you will find a post on The Rehearsal, Playing the Dane (I'll be nice and put the link at the bottom of this post).
Pan Pan made not only a really fun production for die-hard theatre buffs with this one, but utilized an ingenious stagecraft as well as a brilliant court of actors who brought endless humour and emotionally moving performances.
From establishing the performers in their personal and professional capacities as they audition for the role of 'Hamlet', Gavin Quinn and Pan Pan take us to an Elsinore of mirrored halls and rubbish cans where the impetus to 'perform' doesn't shroud the indefinite natures of the individuals. Instead we are witness to the actors' abilities to rise to the occasion and make Shakespeare's masterpiece their own.
What a wonderful cast. Particularly enjoyable was seeing Connor Madden overcome his actor insecurities with a grand feat of athleticism and raw emotion, paying homage to the divine role with charm and skill. Also a highlight was Judith Roddy's performance as Ophelia, drenched in rubbish and sorrow. Absolutely mesmerizing and gorgeous.
Brilliant show.
As for the best individual performances of the year …
- Madden and Roddy for Playing the Dane. These guys can captivate an audience single-handedly.
- Penelope nobles Tadhg Murphy and Niall Buggy. Absolutely incredible work.
- Christ Deliver Us! tragic youths Aoife Duffen and Laurence Kinlan. These kids just break your heart.
- Little John Nee for Barabbas's Johnny Patterson the Singing Irish Clown. Much more than just a comic troubadour.
- Hillary O'Shaughnessy for taking us through her broken city while courageously facing off street punks with the assistance of a guitar-wielding busker in Playgroup's Berlin Love Tour. She also gave us gummy bears.
Best writing …
- Kilroy for Christ Deliver Us! and Walsh for Penelope. Both brilliant pieces.
Best direction …
- Gavin Quinn deserves the trophy for The Rehearsal, Playing the Dane. Garry Hynes brought some epic production values into The Silver Tassie though.
Well that's 2010 wrapped up (with only a few hours to spare).
See you in the new year folks.
The Rehearsal, Playing the Dane review:

Something more than earthly
"At times we seem to catch a glimpse of a form which we shall hereafter see face to face.
We approach, and in spite of the darkness, our hands, or our head, or our brow, or our lips become, as it were, sensible of the contact of something more than earthly.
We know not where we are, but we have been bathing in water, and a voice tells us that it is blood. Or we have a mark signed upon our foreheads, and it spake of Calvary. Or we recollect a hand laid upon our heads, and surely it had the print of nails in it, and resembled his who with a touch gave sight to the blind and raised the dead. Or we have been eating and drinking; and it was not a dream surely, that one fed us from his wounded side, and renewed our nature by the heavenly meat he gave."
– Bl. John Henry Newman, "We may even experience Christ's presence in his Sacraments"

*The Backdoor is a "work" of "fiction" and "satire."
By Althea Billings
Campus Safety was called Saturday evening to respond to an incident occurring in the second floor of Howard. At approximately 8:40 p.m., a loud crash could be heard down the hall. The RA on duty responded to the disturbance.
"When I opened the door, it appeared as if the microwave-minifridge combo had been violently overturned," Arlow Huckleberry '19 said. "Half-heated soup was splattered across the carpet."
According to the write up provided by Campus Safety Officer Cory Monteeth, Jessica Peele '21, one of the residents had been provoked into a fury by her roommate.
"I don't know exactly how it happened, it seems like a dream now," Peele said, "I remember all the little things, y'know? All the little things from that day just boiled over inside of me."
Gary Carter, a counselor at the Health Center said that this type of behavior is not irregular at LC.
"It's that point in the semester when stress starts to build that tensions among roommates can show themselves," Carter said.
While the incident may seem "like a dream" for Peele, the buildup was very clear.
"This morning she started playing music 15 minutes before my alarm for my 9:10 class, then she ate my last bagel even though it had my name on it!" Peele said. "She leaves the hair from her hairbrush all over the room and when she was heating up soup — who eats soup, by the way — she yawned."
This admission surprised Huckleberry, the RA for the hall.
"Typically the roommate issues we deal with have to do with personal space, cleanliness and sexiling, yawning is a first for me," Huckleberry said.
Peele went on to explain the conflict.
"She yawns wrong! She does! She flares her lips and doesn't do the noise right. Like you can see all of her teeth and she doesn't make the 'aah' sound … It's a guttural caw that always scares me no matter what. She flicks her tongue around … every time she has to yawn she repeats it like three times," Peele said. "It's upsetting."
Peele's roommate declined to comment and requested to remain unnamed, but Peele maintains that the yawns can be heard echoing through Howard anytime after 8 p.m. on weekdays.

The Caribbean Needs Radical Change at LIAT
by Robert MacLellan
During the last week of August our hospitality consultancy organised a visit by potential developers to the Eastern Caribbean. The participants on the trip – from UK, China, Trinidad and St Lucia – all experienced significant delays or cancellations on LIAT flights. I have travelled regularly with LIAT throughout the Caribbean for over sixteen years but recent events represent a new low point.
"The challenge of convincing investors to consider tourism developments in those islands, which are served primarily by LIAT, is now onerous indeed."
Gregor Nassief's recent open letter to the LIAT board of directors has already catalogued the airline's worst ever performance over the last three months and called for management heads to roll. This solicited a response from LIAT's chairman, Jean Holder, which addressed virtually none of Mr Nassief's points and seemed only to confirm the level of delusion in the highest ranks of LIAT management. Having received a worthless and self serving response, Mr Nassief has since called directly for Dr Holder's resignation.
In his initial response to Mr Nassief, Dr Holder refers to the "track record" of the current company leadership and so I felt the need to clarify the true meaning of those words. One dictionary provides the following definition: "Track record: 1.The best recorded performance in a particular track-and-field event at a particular track. 2. The past achievements or performance of a person, organisation or product." The definitions seem to suggest some degree of excellence, a million miles away from the performance delivered to its customers by LIAT!
Patience with LIAT is now at an end and senior figures in the hotel and tourism industry across the region are quite legitimately questioning Dr Holder's strategic and financial track record as Chairman of LIAT since 2004. They are equally entitled to evaluate Captain Ian Brunton's track record, firstly, as former CEO of Caribbean Airlines and his departure from that company and, since 1st August 2012, his track record as CEO of LIAT. Captain Brunton has been responsible since that date for forward planning and day-to-day operation of the airline. Therefore, he must have been closely involved in the recent scheduling of LIAT's aircraft acquisitions / disposals programme and the associated crew training – the apparent root causes of the recent appalling performance.

July 2 the cycle
by, 07-02-2010 at 11:20 AM (1377 Views)
ok well it been 4 days and not much has changed.
Ph: 8.1
Temp: 79-82
Alk: 5 meq/l
Ammonia: 0
Nitrite: 0
Nitrate: 7
Salinity:1.0264 or 35ppm
Phos: not tested
Calcium: not tested
Mag: not tested
I figured I would see some sort of cycle again, but not yet. I'm going to give it another week and if I haven't seen any rise in Ammonia I'm going to guess the bacteria was kept at a strong level while in the brute cans and I'm not going to have a strong cycle again. I do need to find out why my nitrates are still so high.. I am seeing algae blooms starting I thought maybe I have some high Phosphate levels so started running the phosban reacor, need to get a phosphate test to be sure. I'm not really not seeing any change other that the algae is spreading. its been a couple of days since i cranked it up. I have been running a canister with just a polishing filter to help clear up the water from when I put in the sand and rock, probably need to stop that. the water is clear now it could be the cause. maybe?

Antique Chinese Black Lacquer Floor Screen 93 Inch Tall .
Antique Vintage Chinese Black Lacquer painted panel with large Stand.
NOTE: This beautiful piece may be difficult for a lot of people to display due to the large base. The Chinese painted panel could easily be hung on a wall as a piece of artwork or as a very unique headboard. Since it has a different painting on each side, it would also make a wonderful room divider or set into a cutout in a wall between 2 rooms.
This very unusual decorative floor screen is a real conversion piece. When the screen is set into it's base it stands 93″ Tall.
The screen itself is finished almost entirely in black lacquer. The screen has a heavy outer frame with a molded beaded detail on the inside edges which is accented in red. The center flat panel of the screen has a fine gilded stripe around the perimeter. Since the panel is floating, as in any wood piece there may be some seasonal shrinkage where the panel meets the frame. Both sides of the screen are finished in intricately painted scenes. Each side is different and it is difficult to describe the beautiful detail so it is better to look at the photos. One side does have what appears to be a Chinese poem.
The lacquer has some fine cracking that would be consistent with age.
The base is covered in pierced and relief carvings. The base is reinforced on each side with heavy metal strapping that help support the iron rings on each side. The rings make it easier to lift the very heavy base. The screen slides down into a large dado cut into a vertical support. The top of the support has a carved cap. These side supports are attached to the feet with large mortise and tenon joints (see photo). Depending on ceiling height it may be necessary to lay the base down to insert the screen before standing it up.
We don't know much of the history of this piece, as it was part of a large inventory of antique Chinese pieces we purchased. We are estimating the age based on the construction, but we are not certain. The construction of the base seems far too heavy to be newer piece. At some point someone added red and gold paint to the black base. If you look close you can see some of the gold on top of the old rusted metal, plus considering the quality of the rest of the piece, the red and gold are totally inconsistent. We did consider removing it but we will leave that option up to the purchaser and we are selling it as is.
Antique Chinese Black Lacquer Floor Screen 93 Inch Tall
Origin: China
Material: Hardwood Base, Most likely elm. The wood on the screen is uncertain, but most likely the frame is elm. The Chinese painted panel itself is also most likely a hardwood. It does have a fine shrinkage crack (as can be seen in photos), but it doe not have near the movement a soft lightweight wood like cedar would have in such a large panel.
Age: 100, Late Qing Dynasty, possibly older
Screen Size: 51″ Wide, 63-1/2″ Tall. 1-1/2″ Thick at the frame.
The base is 57″ wide, 30″ Tall to the bottom of the screen, 49″ Tall to the top of the side supports. The Feet are 33″ Deep.
If you have any questions or if you want to make us a Serious Offer on this piece, please use the "Product Inquiry" Tab above.
When making an Offer, please include your full name, city and Zip Code.
If you are looking for an approx. delivery time frame, please include your Zip Code with your question.

It rained today here in the Fort Worth, Texas area. I know a public place with several colonies of Pogonomyrmex barbatus in an area. Would tomorrow morning be a good time to walk the area to look for new founding queens walking around? I know generally this species waits for summer rains then has their nuptial flights. I've been trying to keep an eye on these ants in different places I've seen colonies and I "think" at the beginning of this month they started to hatch alates, so I think and hope that this is the first summer rain in the local area since the alates have been numerous in the local colonies.
Any suggestions for success?

This pedal car belonged to me as a child. My uncles had spray painted it purple and put a peace sign on the hood (circa 1969). I found it after some years had passed and when my son was born in 2001 I had it sandblasted and professionally repainted by "greg of akron".
Condition is original except for repo rims and some screws in the seat. There are some scratches on the corners of the car as can be seen in the pictures, but otherwise excellent condition. The item "Murray Tee Bird Vintage Pedal Car" is in sale since Wednesday, February 17, 2016.This item is in the category "Toys & Hobbies\Outdoor Toys & Structures\Pedal Cars\Pre-1970". The seller is "jaffro330" and is located in Barberton, Ohio. This item can be shipped to United States.

You may or may not know there are a couple of steps to sainthood in the Catholic Church. The first of these is beatification, and requires a verified miracle. I have asked my practicing Catholic sibs to refer my father for beatification. He was a good man, did good works all his life, including working on a soup kitchen and Habitat for Humanity, just to name a couple. And now he's worked his first miracle already. The seven of us got together, and there was not one single cross word in three days. This is truly a miracle.
I credit this to my sister I am fondest of and the brother I am least fond of. They were cleaning out Dad's apartment when they had a truly inspired idea. They began dividing things up into piles for each of us. We were presented with these things in gift bags on Friday night. A lot of it was truly crap, like batteries of unknown strength and zip ties. But everybody got something good.
This all started when they found a shoe organizer in my Dad's stuff. He who hasn't worn shoes in years because they hurt his feet. And they immediately knew it must go to my sister who has the well-deserved nickname of Imelda. You do remember Imelda Marcos and her thousands of pairs of shoes, don't you? And it proceeded from there. Often we got back things we had given Dad. I got back the wheelchair chaps and umbrella.
On Friday night we were told to look through our bags and see what we wanted to keep, and what we were willing to put up for auction on Sunday morning to get something else. So we looked through our gift bags, and wondered at the crap Dad had. We all got a screw driver. We all got six-way plugs (it's a miracle he didn't burn the place down.)You never knew what you were going to find. For instance, I got a boom box that was new in it's box. But, as I said, a lot of it was crap.
Sunday morning we had a breakfast designed to get rid of all the sausage, cranberry juice and pancake mix my dad had. We had sausage links, sausage patties, and biscuits with sausage gravy. There were also pancakes and cranberry juice. Lots of cranberry juice. I think we succeeded in getting rid of all of it.
After breakfast was the auction, where we could use the crap in our gift bags to bid on ….more crap! A tissue box cover my mother had forever that they don't make tissue boxes to fit anymore. Besides which, it was dirty and starting to fall apart. But somebody bid on it. The grand prize, at least according to my brother, the auctioneer, was a nearly full box of double stick Velcro. My dad Velcroed everything down. The phone, the phone book, the bag on the arm of his wheelchair, and heaven knows what else.
My auction strategy was to bid everything I didn't want on a couple of items that were flat, and would be easy to fly home. The auction itself was hilarious, with people bidding outrageous amounts to gain what little there was in the auction that was worthwhile. Half the time those of us not bidding were laughing our asses off. Of course, many of the items had stories attached, and the stories were hilarious, too. I actually had a good time at my dad's funeral. But don't tell anyone.
There is more to come. And I promise I will get to all your blogs, but right now, I'm tired and ready to hit the hay. Night-night.

Devoted to becoming an international lawyer, Ayukawa Wakaba is full of ambition. Her hard work pays off when she lands a job at an international law firm, but to her disappointment, the first prestigious assignment that is given to her is to babysit the boss' 5 year old daughter, Hinata. Wakaba loathes kids and nursing, but unwillingly takes on the job as she is fixated on wealth and success. One day when she goes to a preschool to pick up Hinata, she meets a man named Yamada Sota. Sota is a man without higher education, wealth, or a future goal, someone that Wakaba absolutely cannot stand, the complete opposite of her ideals. Once again, contrary to her will, she ends up looking after Hinata and a few other kids along with Sota. Despite being exhausted from all the first-time experiences in child care, Wakaba begins to realize what is truly important to her. A heart-warming comedy about work, relationships and love. (dramawiki)
Ayukawa Wakaba (Yui Aragaki) is the typical career woman, or rather wannabe career woman. The typical career woman would have to be her boss, Himejima Sakurakawa, who effortlessly manages to make huge deals and is a super achiever, and even manages to buy her daughter expensive things. Her daughter Hinata, whom Wakaba looks after, is actually a very mature kid, who can do everything on her own, so she hardly needs Wakaba's help. She has a bit of a princessy attitude, but is never annoying or tyrannical. In fact, she even schemes to help Wakaba with her love life and provides guidance and advice throughout the show to Wakaba (talk about reversal of roles). I really liked Hinata's character. She even has a cute little crush on Sota's (Ryo Nishikido) son, as they go to the same play school.
I found the drama very addictive and watchable, especially because I have been looking for this kind of drama for a long time. It is lighthearted, has enough romance to satisfy the viewer and also has touching and emotional scenes about parenting and life in general.
Wakaba's character is a very strong one, unlike the typical feminine, weak heroines. She has been fending for herself since she was young and as a result, is extremely materialistic and looks down on those with 'no achievement' like Sota. She is apalled to think that someone would be a stay-at-home dad even though her own father was one (I didn't really get this), but slowly warms up to Sota and the other dads and realizes the importance of family. As a result, she even reconciles with her father. Wakaba is very image conscious and struggles with the mind-heart conflict. This made her seem very real a women in her position would struggle with the thought of whether to marry for security and money or love because of her life circumstances. Of course, in the end love triumphs (expect a happy ending) since this is a rom-com drama after all. Her personality is a bit unlikeable at first, but even then, she is very hardworking and persevering and her personality slowly becomes much better.
I really liked the interaction between the kids as well, who were much more mature than their parents, for sure. They spot Wakaba and Sota's budding romance even before the leads and plot ways to get them together. The drama has funny parts, but I wouldn't say that it is a laugh-out-loud funny drama.
As the synopsis accurately says this drama is a heart-warming comedy about work, realtionships and love. I would definitely recommend it as I enjoyed it very much.
Happy ending
Strong characters
A bit unrealistic

Welcome to the first of a new series of White Room articles coming to you directly from snowy Japan. In each of these articles, we'll try to update you on the current snow situation as well as introduce you to some interesting aspect of the Japan winter season.
When I first came to Japan nearly 30 years ago, there was hardly any information available in English about skiing in Japan and you hardly ever saw any 'foreigners' on the ski slopes. The few foreigners that you did meet were mostly either expats living in the city or those living locally and teaching English.
There may not have been many foreigners about, but the ski slopes themselves were frustratingly busy. The famous 'ski boom' in Japan of the 1980's was a period of some eye-bogglingly over-the-top investment into facilities; facilities that were at the time eagerly used by millions of skiers. Skiing was near the top of the list of fashionable things to do, and waiting for over an hour to ride a short ski lift at popular ski resorts was not uncommon.
Incredibly, at the peak of the ski boom, there were apparently around separate 700 ski hills in Japan!
A lot has changed in those 30 years.
Like many 'booms' in Japan, the ski boom couldn't last. Skiing became less popular, leaving lots of facilities being left relatively unused and many increasingly uncrowded slopes. Snowboarding arrived in the early 90's and while at first, it took a while to catch on, it did become very popular and has helped the numbers from dropping further. Even now though, and with some notable exceptions, the number of people skiing and snowboarding in Japan is well down compared to what we experienced during the boom years.
There are currently around 500 ski hills operating in Japan and they are dotted over most of this mountainous country, from Hokkaido in the north to Kyushu in the south. Due to the mostly mountainous nature of the country, a large proportion of Japanese people live within (at most) a few hours of a ski hill and traditionally many have gone on school trips, learning to ski from an early age. Many of the ski hills in Japan are admittedly very small and locally-run ski hills, but there are also many large-scale resorts featuring modern gondolas, ropeways and high-speed lifts.
Another thing that has changed over the last few decades has been Japan becoming increasingly known to skiers and snowboarders throughout the world. This once 'hidden gem' is becoming less so each year.
Many people outside of Japan are probably first introduced to a handful of famous resorts that have been actively promoting themselves to the 'inbound' market (often helped along by non-Japanese people and companies that are investing in the areas and doing their own bit of promotion). The most well-known are probably the ski resorts in the Niseko area on the northern island of Hokkaido and the ski resorts in Hakuba village in Nagano Prefecture. But there are now many other ski resorts that are actively starting to promote themselves in English and trying to get the attention of this fast-growing market. At the same time, there are more people who are wanting to visit Japan and looking for alternative places to visit other than the most popular destinations. Luckily, there's a huge amount of choice and it is still possible to find ski hills where there's hardly a foreigner to be seen.
Niseko and Hakuba are indeed great places, but Japan is so much more than just those destinations. More on that in a future instalment.
One very important thing that has not changed significantly is the quality and quantity of snow that falls in Japan. Usually consistently huge amounts of it.
The last two seasons were 'somewhat disappointing' in many regions, but it's all relative… compared with many countries, a 'somewhat disappointing' season in Japan still often delivers with large amounts of snow that other places could only dream of. We just have very high expectations here! 10+ metres of snow falling at base over a season is not out of the ordinary.
Japan offers an exciting mix of consistent and heavy snowfall, quality of snow and a huge choice of slopes. Add to that the interesting Japan culture and friendly people, it is easy to understand why it is appealing to a lot of people. Including a long-timer like myself.
The 2017-2018 snow season is underway and generally got off to a positive start in most regions – and an excellent start in others. A good example is Niseko where well over 4 metres of snow fell at the base by the second half of December.
If you are interested in how the Japan snow season is developing, keep an eye on these exclusive English-language daily snow and weather reporting from popular regions around the country. They're refreshingly honest and independent, and posted by Japan long-timers:
Next time I will write more about Japan and update you on the season so far through until the end of January.
See you soon!

A Well-Blown Teacher
The trouble that we've always had with late starts at my school is that a lot of the parents don't hear that we're late, and I could see that happening especially on a day like this one because there wasn't any snow. I also was supposed to teach a before-school remedial class for 2nd graders in the morning, and I had a pretty good idea that most of them wouldn't get the message. So I went in at my normal time (7:00 a.m.) and manned the phones in the office.
We're a school of about 600 kids, and I talked to 40+ parents on the phone between 7:00 and 8:00. The assistant secretary showed up at 7:30, and she handled a ton of phone calls too. 5 people called me "ma'am", which has to do both with gender assumptions in who would be answering the phone at an elementary school and the fact that I have a fairly high voice for a guy.
At 8:00 the cars started pulling up.
"Mr. Rain, what are you doing out here?"
"Telling you to go home. We're on a two-hour late start."
"Really? But it wasn't mentioned on the TV…"
That was the big problem of the day—some wise parents had actually turned on the telly to see what was going on, but something went funky in the pipeline and my district didn't get on the ticker the way they should have.
After the initial rush of kids coming for the before school program I went back inside, then at 8:30 the kids started coming for the school day proper. 60 more cars I shooed off, with only one parent getting mad.
"But I have to go to work…can't I leave them here?"
"Sir, the teachers are on a two-hour delay too. There's no one here to watch the kids."
"Why can't you?"
"(sigh) It just isn't doable, sir. Please come back at 10:30."
That was my special gift to the staff, giving them the extra time in the morning instead of having to look after the kids who would have shown up. They appreciated it; one of the fourth grade teachers brought me my coat (I'd forgotten it in my room) and another brought coffee.
And man, was it windy. As a transplanted westsider it brought back old, happy memories of growing up in Rochester and listening to the wind rush its way through the giant evergreen trees around my house. I used to love to sleep with my window open almost year round just to listen to that wind sound. We also had a house at Surfside Estates, north of Long Beach, and every year without fail we'd go down to the kite festival. Good times.
All in all, it was a good day. When the kids came we had 30 minutes of instruction, then went right into the lunch break. I was subbed out in the afternoon for meetings, so my total contact time for the day was about 45 minutes. I felt like an administrator!

After several years of sitting on a shelf in my garage my large city ruins collection has found a new home. These ruins were built over the span of about 10 years by me and my friends Tim and Neil. Neil actually built the first pieces many years ago and after much wheeling and dealing, and several owners, I acquired them. Tim and I then set out to do an entire table with these style buildings. We kind of went overboard and a couple years ago I threw away a bunch of unfinished pieces.
These are all made of wood and are very sturdy. At the time my friends and I were playing lots of 40K and this stuff was made to be generic sci-fi ruins. I have used these for 28mm WW2 and they was cool. I also used these the one and only time I played Inquisitor in 28mm.
Anyway, these now belong to my local shop, Imperial Outpost Games. Like most shops the need for lots of terrain for event and open gaming is never ending so they jumped at the chance to add these to the shop collection. Below are a few pictures of the building, most for my own reference. I never properly documented this stuff.
The nice thing is that if I want to use these for a game I know right where they are.

Hello everyone,
I have returned for the appointment with my neuro at OU Medical Center. We had discussed the risks of Ocrevus and weighed the benifits of the treatment. As nervous as I am to jump into something, someone has to. For me personally it is worth the risks for there aren't many things in life that do not. So here goes 🐹. Looks like it will be about 2 weeks until I start it. Already passed the blood screen so now just waiting for paperwork and finincial assistance. My Neurologist told me that there were 6 people that developed breast cancer out of 100 in a three year trial. That's less than the just under the about 10% of those who would develop it naturally in the US so there is no evidence the treatment had any influence on that occurring. The benifits outweigh the risk for me so.... well... here we go!!!! 😆

A listed Catalan Modernist building by acclaimed architect Salvador Vinyals dating back to 1909, in one of the most prestigious avenues of Barcelona's Eixample district. Property developer Norvet would create new offices in a space that had previously been bourgeois family apartments, a language school and an embassy.
The premises had been uninhabited for about two decades so had to undergo an extensive renovation project. As Norvet's creative director and head of the design department, my task was to convey the developer's philosophy in the new space.
The design program's objective was to create the feeling for visitors of being welcomed to the developer's home rather than its offices.
We used the existing hydraulic tiles, a period detail, as inspiration for the project's patterns and color palette. The original high ceilings with Modernist plaster ornaments were painted in colors extracted from the floor tiles, giving each area its own look.
Major structural reinforcements supported the layout changes required because of the shift from residential to office use. The offices included a reception area, meeting rooms, private office rooms as well as open and breakout workspaces.
In parallel with the renovations, we developed a furnishing project, which included designer pieces as well as custom-made light installations and carpentry.
Location: Barcelona, Spain
Year: 2015
Size: 240sqm
Assistant Designer: Andra Naita
Client: Norvet Property DVLP.
Photographer: Adrià Goula

Fan service (ファンサービス fan sābisu), Fanservice, Service cut(サービスカット sābisu katto), or simply Service (サービス sābisu), is a vaguely-defined term primarily used for anime and manga to refer to material that is designed to amuse or excite the audience with gratuitous elements that are usually unnecessary to the storyline.
The typical, but not only, element of fan service is racy or sexual content used to titillate the viewer, such as nudity or other forms of eye candy. Shower scenes were a very common fan service in anime of the 1980s and 1990s, while many more recent TV series use trips to Onsen, beaches or trips to tropical locales in order to showcase the characters in bathing suits or various states of relative undress that would otherwise be out of place with the tone of a series.
Elements of Fan Service may include
- Clothing that outlines the shape of the breasts, nipples, and labia, suggesting tightness of clothing and arousal.
- Uniforms, costumes, or outfits (all tightly worn) that may be provocative, but are worn as everyday clothing by the character.
- Bouncing of over-sized breasts.
- The common gag that is usually pulled off in anime, the "head in breasts gag" that is commonly used when a male meets a busty female and falls into her cleavage. This can also be known as "Marshmallow Hell".
- Characters who are unaware of their sexuality; appearing innocent and cheerful, or sly and mischievous.
- The groping of breasts (whether intentional or not).
- Clothing that is falling off or being pulled off, notably swimsuits and "sailor"-style schoolgirl uniforms.
- Up-skirt panty shots and cleavage.
- Suggestive or phallic imagery.
- Exaggerated sexual attributes, often on normal or petite figures to give a sense of contrast.
- The occasional bare breast(s) or bottom, but the genital area is rarely explicitly shown.
- Skimpy bathing suits with crotch lines showing and sides of breasts showing.
- Shining skin indicating sweat or blurry and teary eyes.
- E.N.F. (Embarrassed Nude Female): A female character fully/almost nude in public showing signs of embarrassment, humiliation or acting completely normally.
- When told that Naru would be in charge of the service department, Mitsune frequently mistakes that the "service" part involved "fan service" and offered her advice on lewd techniques.
- Akamatsu admitted that Naru was easier to get into situations where she got nude, when compared with Motoko or Shinobu.
