Birth of an AVATAR from Peter Ammentorp on Vimeo
Peter Ammentorp began wondering what he would look like if he were Na'vi, the sapient humanoid indigenous inhabitants of Pandora in the movie Avatar.
Out came the laptop, and under the power of Photoshop, Ammentorp was transformed from human to Na'vi in no time. I know that there are many online applications out there that will do something similar to an uploaded photograph, but they don't produce results like this. Those online utilities tend to produce something that comes across like demented Smurfs.

"The shopping cart tree symbolizes both generosity and abundance, as well as acknowledging those less fortunate where their whole world may be housed in a cart. We see shopping carts every day and take them for granted. Individually the beauty of an everyday object may become invisible, but in quantity you can't miss it," says Anthony Schmitt of his design.
The 2010 tree is made out of mostly full size carts with some smaller versions at the top to create a forced perspective of height. The carts are supported by an internal structure that remains nearly invisible, allowing the carts to seem like they were merely stacked atop one another and left in that perilous formation.

Crafts: Tardis Quilt
Tardis Quilt by Craftster user Gatheredthreads
I made two of these pretties. One for sloth003 in the stocking swap, and one for my DH's community workshop classroom.
The technique I settled on was to choose the fabrics for the ground, water, and sky, scan them in to the computer, and piece them there for the background. Then I created the tardis graphic and the building, then printed it on fabric with Bubble Jet Set.
Then the quilt has an LED embedded in it that fades in and out behind the beacon (it's brighter in person).

So when manager Ozzie Guillen was asked if his team should shoot for something like a 14-5 record in the current 19-game stretch against the Central, Guillen spoke the truth.
"We're not that good,'' Guillen said. "I wish I could say, 'Well, we're going to win 15 and lose two.' We can do that, but we're not doing it.''
Mostly true but doesn't it feel weird to hear it from the manager of the team?

The organisers of the British Snow Tour have hit us up to let us know how the first stage of this year's series, held in Norfolk, went. It appears the answer was well. Check out this post-match report…
"It was a glorious start to the 2009 British Snow Tour at the weekend as blue skies welcomed over 100 of the UK's best riders from across the land to Norfolk for the Mini BRITS weekender. The BBQ, MC and music got rocking as riders hit the slope and showcased their big bag of tricks in the British Big Air, Trespass Snowboardcross and Animal Slopestyle Championships!
Trespass Snowboardcross Championships
The Trespass Snowboardcross Championships kicked off the snowboard action on Saturday morning with possibly one of the closest UK snowboardcross events ever! In the men's final all four riders charged out of the start gates and over the rollers at the same time with Edward Castle-Henry feeling the squeeze. With lightning quick reactions, Castle-Henry who had been forced into an awkward 90 position in mid-air continued the rotation and amazingly landed a clean 360 to continue down the course. Wayne Taylor, maintained his dominating form from the quarterfinals to cross the line in first, followed by a very pleased Edward Castle-Henry, with Jordan Southgate and Tom Moriarty finishing in third and fourth respectively.
In the women's final Gemma Marshall was first out of the start gates with Vicky Pullin and Alice Blake hot on her heels. Gemma held onto her lead with the gap closing quickly behind her as she crossed the line in first place with Vicky and Alice finishing in second and third.
Trespass Snowboardcross Championship Results
Men Women
1st – Wayne Taylor – Halifax 1st – Gemma Marshall – Sheffield
2nd – Edward Castle-Henry – Hertfordshire 2nd – Vicky Pullin – Gloucestershire
3rd – Jordan Southgate – Norwich 3rd – Alice Blake – Hertfordshire
4th – Tom Moriarty – Norfolk
British Snowboard Big Air Championships
The sun continued to shine as the Big Air Championships got underway on Saturday afternoon. The top four women and eight men from the qualification round went through to the final with the more experienced riders stepping it up and setting the standard. Wayne Taylor, fresh from his Snowboardcross victory made it a double win for the day taking the overall men's title with a very stylish corked backside 720. Second place went to Chatham local Cody Hierons who stomped a smooth backside 540, whilst Ben Knox finished in third place with a huge backside 540.
In the women's final it was also experienced rider Liz Osbourn who showed the younger riders how it was done with a big stylish backside 360 tail grab, which secured her the gold. Second place went to Katie Ormerod, who landed another big backside 360 with Lynsey Ashdown taking third with a frontside 360.

British Slopestyle Championships
After an eventful Saturday night when team 'Ben's Bandits' downed 10 pickled onions in under a minute to win the 'Big Ride Quiz', Sunday afternoon welcomed in the final event of the weekend, The Animal Slopestyle Championships. Halifax local rider, Andy Nudds, who had travelled down to Norfolk just for this event, soon set the standard and qualified in first place through to the final.
Nudds maintained his top form throughout both runs during the final to take the 2009 Animal British Slopestyle Championship Title. His textbook run included a switch backside 180 to boardslide and fakie off on the top rail followed by a very controlled and stylish half cab nose press on the middle box and a 270 on 270 off on the flat up and along box. Winning his second silver medal over the weekend was Cody Hierons, with a smooth cab 270 on the top box, to 180 on, 270 off on the middle box and the judge's favourite trick of the day, a gap 270 to boardslide on the bottom shark fin rail. Ben Knox finished in third place after throwing down a 270 on 270 off on the top box and a 180 boardslide on the shark fin.
In the women's final 12 year old Katie Ormerod won the overall Animal British Slopestyle Championship title, cementing the fact that the future of British snowboarding looks very strong. Katie's technical and faultless run included a cab 180 to regular on the top box, a boardslide to fakie over the double box and a switch-up 50-50 over the bottom shark fin rail. Sophie Nicholls who had been riding very strong all day and qualified into the finals in top spot, demonstrated that it's not just the boy's in the Nicholls family with all the talent by finishing in second place overall. Sophie's run included a cab boardslide to tail tap on the top box and an impressive 270 on 270 off on the double box. Third place went to Lynsey Ashdown with a combination of tidy boardslides over the shark fin rail.
Animal British Slopestyle Championship Results:
Men Women
1st – Andy Nudds – Halifax 1st – Katie Ormerod – Halifax
2nd – Cody Hierons – Chatham 2nd – Sophie Nicholls – Halifax

Over 200 local youngsters that the Schools Tour Team had visited came along to the event to take part in the FREE lessons, watch the UK's best in action and cheer on local freeskier Tom Coe, who had proved to be a big hit at the schools. Let's hope we see some of them continue to learn how to shred and hopefully competing next year.

The next stop on the British Snow Tour is the Big Air Championships in Milton Keynes, taking place this Friday, September 19th. Check out the details here.

The people at Fox have landed the distribution rights to Tim Burton's upcoming president vs. undead thriller, but only after a seriously heated bidding war.
The studio beat out basically every other studio in town to hang its name on "Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter," reported Variety. The film is based on the book by Seth Grahame-Smith, to which Burton secured the film rights back in March after seeing the in-house trailer for the novel.
The book received mostly mixed reviews, with Publisher's Weekly noting that, "The author's decision to reduce slavery to a mere contrivance of the vampires is unfortunate bordering on repellent, but at least it does distract the reader from the central question of why the president never saw fit to inform the public of the supernatural menace."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
Nonetheless, it's easy to see what would attract Burton to such a project and the trailer is pretty amusing. Grahame-Smith will be adapting the book himself, maybe he can shave off some of the book's more unfortunate edges.
Grahame-Smith also penned "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," which Natalie Portman is hoping to turn into a film.
Our biggest concern, however, is the involvement of Timur Bekmambetov, whose last film, "Wanted," we found absurd and tedious.

ZTE Grand S to be Thinnest 5-inch 1080p Phone at 6.9mm
ZTE Grand S to be Thinnest 5-inch 1080p Phone at 6.9mm
ZTE confirmed two weeks ago that it will be launching its 5-inch Grand S flagship model at the upcoming CES 2013, but little details are known about the device until today.
Contrary to earlier speculation of the device having a 7.6mm thin profile, the Grand S actually boasts an ultra thin 6.9mm side profile which makes the thinnest 5-inch 1080p phone in the world. It is even more impressive if you take into consideration its specs sheet, some of which are not officially confirmed yet:
- 5-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels
- 13-megapixel rear camera
- Qualcomm Snapdragon S4 quad-core 1.5GHz processor
- 2500mAh battery
The ZTE Grand S can hold its own against the 5-inch competition. For example, the HTC Butterfly has a side profile of 9.08mm, an 8-megapixel rear camera and a smaller battery capacity at 2020mAh. The upcoming Sony Xperia Yuga (otherwise known as Xperia Z) is reported to come with 3GB RAM, a Samsung Exynos 5 Quad processor, and a 3,300mAh battery.
ZTE also launched its first 1080p smartphone yesterday. Known as the Nubia Z5, the device has a 5-inch IPS display and runs on Android 4.1.1 Jelly Bean.

I integrated a card layout with a reveal animation but would like to add a bounce animation so that the user knows he reached the beginning or end of the 'slideshow'. Is this possible? I tried to pass the argument bounces: true to the animation but it didn't work. I know this works in a carousel by default.
It is probably something trivial but nevertheless help is greatly appreciated.Code:panel.animateActiveItem(num_id, { type: 'reveal', bounces : true, direction: event.direction });

So, today was the big day! I woke up enormously excited and anxious for my ultra sound. I even got to leave all the kids behind at a friend's house and made it to the ultra sound office in forty minutes (including the time it took to figure out I had the wrong address and had gone in the completely wrong direction, and the time to pull over at a gas station to buy a liter of water I suddenly recalled I was supposed to already have drank that morning to prep for the ultrasound).
Upon my arrival at the office, the receptionist informed me that I did not indeed have an appointment because my insurance refused to cover this visit. She said she had tried to call me on my cell but had some sort of phone error (which must have been on her end because I've successfully received many incoming calls today). Then she told me to just reschedule for another four weeks out and hope that the insurance issues worked themselves out by then.
I'm generally a nice-ish person, but I was not feeling very nice at this moment. What I had gone through physically this morning to get there was only a part of it. When you are (under the influence of pregnancy hormones and) anticipating something so whole-heartedly, you feel as though even when that moment of revelation arrives, you could not possibly wait another moment for it. Let alone another MONTH.
I excused myself into the hallway to cry. I was thankfully able to get a hold of Kyle who, being the kind and wise husband that he is, encouraged me to just pay for it out-of-pocket and be seen today. (He just didn't want to deal with the emotional monster I would be for the next month if I didn't get to see my baby TODAY. Wise man.)
Well, they still discouraged me from being seen today, but I'm a fighter so finally, at approximately the time that my bladder of 32 oz of water was about to burst, Jessica called me in.
Jessica is a nice person (she did let me pee after she captured the necessary images), although not nearly as interested in celebrating my baby as I wanted her to be (read: not very talkative. I had to pry every piece of information out of her.) The first obstacle, though, was the layout of the room. Tell me if this makes sense: the screen is completely oriented away from the patient so there I lay in silence, belly covered in goo, while Jessica examines this and that and I (not so) patiently wonder if I'll EVER get a look at my child.
At least fifteen minutes later, she consents to give me a glimpse. Even after she's angled the screen as far as it will turn toward me, I still have to contort my body and use both my hands to pry my head into a position that affords a mediocre, sideways view of the screen.
Well, we had a good long go at it, long enough that both my arms had fallen asleep and the crick in my neck was making me cranky. Ultimately the one I have to blame for my greatest disappointment is my own unborn fetus! There it lay, all comfortably snuggled up with legs pressed together and ankles crossed.
So, clearly a girl, right!?
I knew this could happen, of course, but I was still in a daze of disbelief when I walked out of that office after an hour-long ordeal and knew nothing new of my child. I even remembered to ask if everything looked healthy and normal, and she couldn't even answer that! "Oh, your doctor will look at the pictures and let you know." When I see her in a month! Oh well, if the baby had an extra arm or something, I probably would've noticed myself.
Well, I had planned to dedicate this afternoon to shopping for baby girl accessories, so I'm just gonna go ahead and do that now anyway. Erik had a dream last night that he's having a baby sister, so I'm going to stick with that. Should've just stuck with his intuition in the first place-- cheaper than an ultrasound, at least.

Thoughts on baby
In a few short weeks I will be halfway through with this pregnancy! I am extremely grateful to be over the worst of it. That third trimester is nothing cool and comfortable, but I'll take it over the vomit-trocity of the first trimester any day.
I have so many thoughts and feelings about expecting a baby (and will have more on Thursday after my gender-revealing ultrasound!). My feelings have already evolved so much since the beginning, but thankfully I recorded some of those earliest thoughts in a journal entry, parts of which I will paste below. This entry was drafted before the onset of my World War Food so I was all sunshine and lollipops about being preggie. Now that I'm feeling mostly better, many of those happy sentiments are returning, so posting about them feels genuine again.
You'd think this ordeal would be nothing special on my fourth go at it, but not so. I was more anxious and excited to take a pregnancy test this time than ever before, more devastated when the results were initially negative, and more elated when I fished the pee stick out of the trash minutes later and discovered the very faint-colored and happy truth.
This pregnancy has felt quite different from my others (I mean more than just the increase of severity in my physical symptoms). I do believe I appreciate and enjoy motherhood now more than ever. There is no question that divine intervention was in on the timing of this one. Ellie and Erik are both truly supportive and excited to welcome a new baby. Kyle is also on board (which is kind of a first for us--yay!). Yes, we are STILL poor students, but at least we have prospects of a career in our foreseeable future. I have finally forsaken all other hobbies and distractions-- I am Mom through and through, with nothing there to resent or regret. Plus, Charlie very much needs to be dethroned.
Our life circumstances leading up to the pregnancy were just ideal. They had to be in order to soften our hearts toward the idea. Actually, I'd been quite soft for several months. But anyway, for a few weeks there, it seemed like every single day went just swimmingly. Nothing too notable, just happy and lacking stress. Charlie seemed to be behaving better, sleeping longer, talking more, acting cuter. (Not long after we got pregnant, Charlie started acting crazy again, but at least he was a peach when it mattered most.) The other kids also behaved well and ridiculously cutely. I made yummy meals and everyone ate them. We went out and enjoyed beautiful weather and did a lot as a family. Something cute or funny would happen and Kyle and I would meet each others' eyes and exchange a knowing smile, basking in the mutual feeling of near-surreal happiness that our current situation frequently provided.
Now I mean it that our happiness was not determined by what was happening to us. We were just happy. However, some events certainly boosted our gratitude and comfort. For instance, Kyle's interviews with Cox and eventually being hired for a summer internship, and Kyle waking up one morning being willing to have another baby.
Yes, in the middle of March, Kyle woke up one morning before any of the kids had stirred and woke me up gently by asking me if I really wanted to have a baby. Well, you know how coherent and friendly I am when I'm being woken up, but I managed to grunt in the affirmative. He simply replied, "well, maybe having another baby wouldn't be the worst thing in the world," after which the kids stormed into the room, Charlie started crying, and our day commenced, taking us in separate, busy directions until nightfall. I may not have looked awake, but I heard what he said loud and clear and could not stop thinking about it all day with a goofy grin plastered to my face.
Well, some people may call this t.m.i., but this is my story and I tell it like it is. So, I just happened to be approaching ovulation that very next day. Quel coincidence? I think not. See, this is how we knew deity was in on our plan. We both feel strongly that the child who is coming to us in December is supposed to be born to us at this time. Kyle was nowhere near considering having another baby, and then the day before I ovulate he just wakes up a changed man on this ever-weighty of decisions? No no, this baby is part of our God-given plan.
Julie Beck said (during some conference some time) that we don't have children with money, but with faith. I've always loved that statement and made it my motto when it comes to this particular decision. We also don't have children with spare time or lack of stress. We just have them with faith. Nothing else could adequately persuade us to have four children in our short marriage. We have absolute faith that our lives are being guided by a supreme creator and that we have a mission to complete on this earth, parenting these children being a great part of it.
(I have neglected to photograph my quickly-expanding waistline (no really, someone today commented that I look ready to pop! Aren't those comments supposed to be reserved for the final hours of pregnancy?), but I look more or less like this girl. Only much bigger. And not owning such a cute sweater dress (not that I'd wear it in Phoenix). And also no cute, mustardy couch in sight. But yeah, pretty close.)

Erik turned four on May 16
I don't even know how to talk about Erik with words. (speechlessness is a rarity with me, as you all well know.)
All I know is every time he says anything, my heart skips a beat. He waddles by me and I swoon. I must scoop him up into my arms and cradle him like a baby, or perish. Is this why he still sometimes acts like a baby?
Just kidding, just kidding! He acts like a four-year-old now. Sometimes, even a child of the mature age of five.
After dressing himself in an outfit of which he's particularly proud, "Do I look like a five-year-old, Mom?" And after finishing his bowl of cereal in record-breaking speed (meaning before the cereal becomes one with the milk), "Did I eat as fast as a five (or even six)-year-old?"
I always answer emphatically in the affirmative because, let's face it, the child is fishing for praise, but come on now! Don't get all five-ish on me yet-- you are still too irresistible to be four!
No one can quite say just why I am so enamored with this son of mine. He does have this endearing vulnerability to him-- mechanical speech, built-in love handles and all. I sure hope I outgrow this uncontrollable feeling for him before he's old enough to be embarrassed of it.
Until that day, let me just bask in the sweet and snuggly splendor that is my Ery-muffin. (What a terrible nickname for a boy, I know, but have you seen this kid's muffin-top, prominent even in the nude?)
He is such a reprieve from the rapscallionish nature of a certain other boy in our household. I always thought I was such an effective mother. I'd successfully trained a polite, calm, well-behaved, imaginative little boy. No, not a polite, calm girl--that is less impressive. A calm and well-behaved BOY.
Ah well, Charlie had to go and shatter that illusion for me. Turns out I had nothing to do with it. Erik was just born the sweetest muffin in the tin. He is not everything perfect and well-behaved (and emotionally stable), but then he walks up to me and tells me, "you look so pwetty, Mom" or when I ask him what he liked about his day he throws his arms around my neck and grins, "evewyfing." Or he spontaneously informs me that "I love you all the way to... (this next part in a robotic voice)... outer space and heaven." So he's not perfect but, well actually, yeah actually, he is.

I have no less than ten drafts awaiting elaboration in my "edit posts" file. They each require elaboration, though! So since my entire family is peacefully slumbering at the moment and I wish to be doing the same, I will quickly share an update of my four favorite people.
1. Kyle gets up every morning before I've even begun my final rem cycle, changes Charlie's poo, and fetches the cereal boxes from atop the fridge so Ellie can prepare breakfast for the crew. Then he works hard at a job he LOVES for only eight hours a day and is home for dinner. Don't get used to it, Tiff! Too late!
2. Ellie gave our Family Home Evening lesson on Monday because she was quite enthused about this object lesson she had developed. It went like this: she gave a plate of apple slices to Charlie and Erik for their immediate consumption and promptly left the room. Moments later she returned, shaking her head, then solemnly breaking the news to us that, "You weren't ready when I came. I'm Jesus, and you're not ready." Then she had Kyle read the parable of the ten virgins and bore her testimony about preparing for the second coming. (by eating your apple slices faster?) It was such a good effort, though, and made perfect sense in her spongy little cranium.
3. I really wonder about Erik in the public school system. Yes, they teach you to read, write, do arithmetic, and interact socially, but are they equipped to support the inner workings of Erik's imagination? The simple task of writing his name often becomes a very involved process. Each letter assumes the appearance of a stranger life form than the last, each with an increasing number of unusual characteristics. I don't know how he'll do in the legibility department, but at least his letters have multiple personalities... Extra credit???
4. One of Charlie's numerous "adorable" habits as of late is the spontaneous stripping of his pants and diaper, a hurried exit from my presence, and soon a confession that he did indeed intentionally pee on the carpet. Clearly, he is aware of my disapproval and yet the frequency of "purposes" (it's not an accident!) increases. Today I checked on him in his time-out corner (yes, he spends a lot of time there for various infractions) and he immediately admitted that he was standing in a puddle of his own urine. What was puzzling was that his diaper was completely intact and DRY. Upon closer inspection, of course, I gained a greater appreciation for his dexterity-- the kid thought to pull his little hose out the side of his diaper and let it run down his leg. Ingenious. So, is it time to commence potty training? Or just to up the severity of his punishments?
So, that's a snapshot of my four faves. They have their cute and not-so-cute moments, but every one of them has lovely, snuffaluffagus eyelashes. That makes up for a lot, especially when they're asleep.

Thunderbird deluxe
Well, you know how great I am not at bringing a camera to outings, and even not better at pulling it out when it's stowed along, but stealing photos from another's blog? Yes, I can do that. A tad outdated, but the following photos document some of the fun that was had with my T-bird girls in past months. Can I just say how much I love this club!? There are two-three events every week, including kids' activities (which I was in charge of last semester-- fun, but taxing), girls night outs, date nights, family field trips, potluck dinners, etc. I love to be over-scheduled, so thank you, T-bird ladies, for making that possible. Plus, everyone I've met at Thunderbird is among the coolest of humankind. Down-to-earth, friendly, wonderful people.

When Noelani told me she'd be able to get us all into Disneyland for free on the day of my choice, my head about imploded with excitement. The magic was ever alive in my young heart. I talked it up to the kids and just believed that, even sans Kyle, D-land would deliver as the "happiest place on earth."
Turns out it was the crappiest place on earth.
Okay, in truth, no crappier than any overcrowded, overpriced venue with no outlet for energetic toddlers. Still, expectations were high, remember? That was my first mistake. Within the first hour, those expectations were shattered and all of the kids had shared at least one emotional breakdown.
Basically, my high school bff Baha was the reason we got through that day, physically and emotionally. Rather than pout and whine about how awful it was to get my family into Disneyland for free, though, I will simply enumerate the circumstances under which I would consider ever getting in for free again in the future.
1. No children ill/screaming through the night/screaming through the day
2. No lines. Really, no lines. Not a one of us felt it worth spending the majority of the day waiting in lines for a few minutes of hyper-stimulation.
3. Help. More help. At least one additional helper.
4. OR leave Charlie behind.
5. OR wait until Charlie can be restrained for two minutes together without gracing the crowds with his signature banshee screams and violent attempts to be freed from the straight jacket that was the stroller, the ride seat belt, or my arms.
So, it will be a few years.
All in all, Noe and I aged quite a bit from the stress and exertion, but emerged triumphant in the end. (Only in the very end, though. We were about to leave when Ellie and I had an impromptu sob session, with different causes of distress. I refused to leave the so-called happiest place on earth in tears, so we squeezed in one extra ride so we could exit the park emotionally stable.)
You know, it's been over three months since the trip, and I remember feeling that it was horrific, and yet time has already abstracted those negative emotions. I even found myself trying to convince Kyle the other day that I'm ready to go back, so long as he comes with. He just shook his head in amazement. Is my memory truly that blurry? Must be like childbirth-- it wasn't THAT bad, right?
Well, we all look mostly happy in the pictures, at least. Even Charlie looks happy in the ones where he's escaping from me and running away.
Yes, Charlie is wearing pajama pants over his fleece-lined jeans. Can't win every battle.
Not surprisingly, Erik was the most content of all of us throughout the trip.
See, we did too meet Mickey Mouse!
Ha ha, the kids slept in their clothes and wore them again the next day.

The rumors are true...
Just in case there's still a feeble audience out there, I am finally feeling stable enough to declare an official apology for my lack of posts concerning
Don't get me wrong-- there has been plenty of kid, food, and fun to be had. Rather than do anything about absolutely any of that, though, I have dedicated my days to the pursuit of
and growing one of these.
Whew! I sure miss any semblance of energy and enjoyment of food, but it's all good because by
this bad boy (or girl) of a fetal humanoid will be out of me! And in even better news, I'm 14 weeks along and darn well better start feeling better soon. But if not, that's all good too because I figure I'm still pretty ridiculously fortunate to be doing what I'm doing here.
Thankfully, BEFORE the onset of first trimester symptoms, I recorded a few of my feelings of elation concerning my pregnant state. That account will be coming in another post, along with an incomplete record of whatever I've photographed over the past three months.
And just in case I didn't come through in a very positive tone there, YES we are ecstatic to be having yet another one of our kind.

Operation Husky 2013
In July and August of 1943, 25,000 Canadian soldier took part in the liberation of Sicily. My uncle, Perley Arnold BARCLAY, was a member of the 1st Canadian Division that landed in Sicily in July that year.
Operation Husky has been formed to help honour the memory of those people who died in the operation, and they have definite plans to remember the liberation of Sicily.
They have a new war memorial to the memory the Canadians who landed there on that date 70 years earlier, and they are looking for support to erect markers to the men who dies there. Each one of the markers will carry the name of a soldier who died there.
In so doing, they feel that they can "visually represent the loss suffered by so many Canadian families in the liberation of Sicilian soil while funding the legacy initiatives".

The subject is not identified, and not much can be seen of his clothes apart from the tam-o-shanter. However, the style of the portrait, the design on the reverse of the card mount, the thin card used, and its square corners, all point to a date of around 1869-1874.
Robert Sands was born at Atherstone, near Coventry in Warwickshire, around 1812-1814. Nothing is known of his early life, until the birth of his first child, a daughter Sarah Ellen, by Elizabeth Lyne at Soho Square, London on 11 January 1845. A son Edward was born to them at St Martin's Lane just over a year later, and both children were baptised at St Martin in the Fields, Westminster on 5 April 1846. Robert was shown living at 276 Kent Road, Newington, Surrey at the time of the 1851 Census, with a "wife" Eliza, twelve years younger than him, but the two children were not with them. He described himself as a comb-maker and agent. However, it appears that he only married Elizabeth (or Eliza) Lyne at the Old Church, St Pancras, London on 14 January 1855. (Elizabeth was born at Bath, Somerset, son of John & Mary Lyne, or Lines, and baptised there on 19 January 1823.)
The reverse of the carte de visite shown above claims that the firm had been operating since 1851. David Webb's photoLondon database shows Robert Sands to have started working at 3 Postern Row in 1854, and nearby at 79 Minories in 1856. It seems likely that they moved from Kent Road, Newington, Surrey, where another son William was born in late 1852, to Postern Row, Tower Hill, London, prior to or soon after their marriage in early 1855. A fourth child Sophia was born in late 1856 or early 1857 - her birth was registered in Hackney. A report in The Morning Chronicle (London, England, 16 May 1857) refers to "a photographic artist in Postern-row, Tower-hill," which is probably Sands.
By April 1861 the whole family, including all four children, were living at Postern Row, and Robert Sands was shown as a "Dealer in Photographic Goods employing 4 Men in Photography." Their eldest child, Sarah Ellen, died a few months later, and towards the end of the year Robert was declared bankrupt, spending some time in Whitecross Street Prison before the bankruptcy was discharged. The newspaper reports and the London Gazette describe him as "of No. 3 Postern-row, Tower-hill, and of the Minories, photographic artist and dealer in pictures and curiosities." (Daily News, 9 November 1861; The Morning Chronicle, 29 January 1862; London Gazette No. 22563, 8 November 1861, p. 38; London Gazette No. 22576, 13 Dec 1861, p. 43) The photoLondon database states that Robert was succeeded from 1860 to 1862, at both 3 Postern Row and 79 Minories, by an artist named Emil Folk (1830-1887), but it is possible that Folk was merely employed by Sands.
Robert and Elizabeth had a third son, Robert Edward, born at Postern Row in late 1862 or early 1863. It seems likely that their older sons took over the photographic business in the mid- to late 1860s. The photoLondon database has first Edward (1866-1868) and then Edward & William Sands (1868-1869) working as photographers from 3 Postern Row. This was suceeded by the Co-Operative Photographic Society, managed by Edward Sands, from 1870 until 1873. The 1871 Census shows Edward & daughter Sophia both working from home as photographic artists, and their father Robert is shown as a commission agent. Edward Sands registered a photograph of the George Tavern, Trinity Square (at the end of Postern Street), City of London, in December 1869.
Sophia Sands married a tailor from Germany, Fredrick Kopieski, the following year. They had four children before Sophia died in 1882, at the age of 28.
From 1874 until 1882, the photographic business was operated at 3 Postern Rown under the name, Robert Sands & Son. The photoLondon database has this son as Robert Edward, but he would have been too young for at least some of this period, so it is likely that one his older brothers William and Edward were working with Robert Sands senior. Robert Sands died in late 1882, at the age of 69, and the business was presumably taken over by William and Robert Edward, who continued from 1883 until 1885. William Sands died in 1900 (Whitechapel Registration District), aged 48, and Robert Edward Sands died at Poplar in 1903, aged 42.
The photoLondon database suggests that Edward Sands, who was also a portrait painter, was living in Melbourne, Australia from 1882 until 1900. However, I've been unable to find any independent confirmation of this.

Machines to be used for "defense missions"
Paul Joseph Watson
Thursday, September 6, 2012
One of the robots under development by DARPA for the purpose of "emergency response" and humanitarian missions has beaten the human world speed record set in 2009 by athlete Usain Bolt.
"The Defense Advanced Research Project's (DARPA) Cheetah managed to reach 28.3 mph, said the agency on Sept. 5. The speed is a little faster than the fastest human, Usain Bolt, who set the human world speed record when he reached a peak speed of 27.78 mph in 2009 during a100 meter sprint. The Cheetah robot had already attained the record as the fastest robot on earth when it clocked in 18 Mph earlier in its development," reports Government Security News.
Cheetah's advantage versus other robots when it comes to emergency response, humanitarian missions and "other defense missions," is that it legs enable it to handle difficult terrain, unlike wheeled and tracked robots.
Cheetah was able to beat its previous speed record with the aid of improved control algorithms and a more powerful pump. Engineers plan to test a prototype Cheetah on real terrain next year.
Boston Dynamics Inc. is also working on a separate project for DARPA to produce humanoid robots that can act intelligently without supervision.
Last month, the Department of Defense announced that "The robotic platforms will be humanoid, consisting of two legs, a torso, two arms with hands, a sensor head and on board computing." The robots are set to be ready by 2014, states the contract.
Like the Cheetah, the humanoid robots will be used to "conduct humanitarian, disaster relief and related operations" and will also be able to use basic and diverse tools.
Boston Dynamics has enjoyed a long working relationship with DARPA, during which time it has developed the rather frightening BigDog. This hydraulic quadruped robot can carry up to 340lb load, meaning it can be effectively weaponised, and recovers its balance even after sliding on ice and snow:
The company also developed RiSE, a robot that climbs vertical terrain such as walls, trees and fences, using feet with micro-claws to climb on textured surfaces:
In addition to a host of other smaller robots, Boston Dynamics is also developing PETMAN, a robot that simulates human physiology and balances itself as it walks, squats and does calisthenics:
Although Cheetah and other robots being developed under the auspices of DARPA are ostensibly for humanitarian missions, the Pentagon has also taken steps towards developing androids for aggressive operations.
In 2008, the Pentagon issued a request to contractors to develop a "Multi-Robot Pursuit System" designed to search for, detect and track "non-cooperative" humans in "pursuit/evasion scenarios".
Paul Marks at the New Scientist pointed out such proposals are somewhat concerning, because they inevitably will be adapted for domestic purposes such as crowd control.
"…how long before we see packs of droids hunting down pesky demonstrators with paralysing weapons? Or could the packs even be lethally armed?" Marks asks.
Marks interviewed Steve Wright, an expert on police and military technologies, from Leeds Metropolitan University, who commented:
"The giveaway here is the phrase 'a non-cooperative human subject'.
What we have here are the beginnings of something designed to enable robots to hunt down humans like a pack of dogs. Once the software is perfected we can reasonably anticipate that they will become autonomous and become armed.
We can also expect such systems to be equipped with human detection and tracking devices including sensors which detect human breath and the radio waves associated with a human heart beat. These are technologies already developed."
Indeed, noted as PHASE III on the Pentagon proposal was the desire to have the robots developed to "intelligently and autonomously search".
Top robotics expert, Noel Sharkey, Professor of Artificial Intelligence and Robotics at the University of Sheffield, haspreviously warned that the world may be sleepwalking into a potentially lethal technocracy and has called for safeguards on such technology to be put into place.
In 2008, Professor Sharkey told listeners of the Alex Jones show:
"If you have an autonomous robot then it's going to make decisions who to kill, when to kill and where to kill them. The scary thing is that the reason this has to happen is because of mission complexity and also so that when there's a problem with communications you can send a robot in with no communication and it will decide who to kill, and that is really worrying to me."
The professor also warned that such autonomous weapons could easily be used in the future by law enforcement officials in cites, pointing out that South Korean authorities are already planning to have a fully armed autonomous robot police force in their cities.

Somehow I managed to go a year without posting to this space. Sure there are a million excuses (new job, no time, long commute) but really, I just didn't want to blog anymore. It was just too much to take the perfect picture to get onto Tastespotting or Foodgawker (which ironically, I never visit anymore), try to say something witty and meaningful and keep up regular posting. So I just stopped. But now I'm realizing that I have a years worth of recipes I've tried out with no documentation. Take these Zucchini Corn Fritters. I made them last year around this time. I know this because the picture was still on my iPhone. Once again, I am overrun with zucchini from my CSA share and corn just hit the market, so I went to my blog to find this recipe and I realized, it wasn't there. Thankfully, some searching with Betsy of our GChat histories allowed us to find this recipe. So, I have no idea how often I will make it back to this space. But I'm going to try to start posting again, mostly just for me, my family and my friends so that I can remember the highlights in my kitchen. But if you happen to still be reading after all this time…all the better.
Zucchini Corn Fritters
Recipe adapted from Serious Eats
- 4 cups shredded zucchini
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 3 eggs
- 2 ears of corn
- 1 small onion, diced small
- 3 scallions, white and green parts, thinly sliced
- 1/4 cup cilantro, minced
- bunch of chives, minced
- 3/4 cup flour
- 8-10 grinds of black pepper
- Vegetable oil, for frying
- Sour cream, for serving
1) Shred the zucchini on the large holes of a box grater or with the shredding disc of a food processor. I used the food processor. Place the shredded zucchini in a colander in the sink or over a bowl and sprinkle with the salt. Toss to combine. Let drain while you get the rest of the recipe ready.
2) Crack the eggs into a large bowl and give them a quick scramble with a fork. Cut the kernels from the cob using this method and add the kernels to the bowl along with the onion, scallions, cilantro, chives, flour and pepper.
3) Grab the shredded zucchini in small fistfuls and squeeze out as much water as possible over the sink. You want to get out as much liquid as you can. Add the zucchini to the bowl and mix well to combine.
4) Pour the oil in a large frying pan to a depth of about 1/4 inch. Heat the oil over medium-high heat until not but not smoking. Drop a handful of the zucchini mixture into the pan and press down with a spatula to form a disc. Cook in batches without crowding 2-4 minutes on each side. You want the side to be golden brown. Remove to paper towels on a plate to drain. You may need to add some more oil between the batches.
5) Serve with some sour cream on the side. The fritters should be crisp on the outside and slightly custardy on the inside.

What to do when consistent growth is elusive.
Growth strengthens consumer packaged goods (CPG) companies and fuels value creation. But consistent growth has become elusive in recent years. Scale used to drive growth, but today, small CPG companies significantly outperform their larger counterparts. What accelerates growth today? CPG leaders must understand that the consumer is boss and find new ways to address changing customer preferences and gather better data about emerging market trends.
Growth drives more value than cash or margin short term and three-quarters of value long term…but more than half of companies fail to grow or destroy value in the attempt.
Overall growth for US consumer packaged goods companies rose only slightly in 2014. What separated the winners from the also-rans?
Bottom line: Growth is possible for CPG companies of all sizes, categories, and price tiers—with carefully targeted approaches.

The Morenci Garden Club met Nov. 16, at the Congregational Church. Co-hostesses for the meeting were Jo Erbskorn and Mary Johnson.
Kym Ries gave a Power-Point presentation on decorated gourds. Instructions were given on how to clean gourds and prepare them for decorating or creating bird houses. Sandy and Duane Wheeler drilled holes in gourds donated by Tom Valentine, and each member was offered gourds to take home.
Club members chose Bean Creek Garden Center's bid of $975 for the downtown hanging baskets. The baskets will include bubblegum supertunia, snow princess lobularia and sweet potato vine.
A field trip is planned Dec. 11 to the Manor House at Wildwood Preserve in Toledo, which is decorated for the holidays. Those attending the trip should meet behind city hall at 10 a.m. Dec. 11. The group will also stop for lunch.

By framing the discussion like this, it's obvious he doesn't want to hear our voices or give us choices!
Why not, you may ask?
He doesn't want to "agitate" you.
If you want to get a better understanding of how some of WMATA's dysfunction emanates from the Board, listen to today's Board meeting, particularly the latter half. It's a miracle Metro runs at all.
As a side note, it must be stated that board member Chris Zimmerman was impressive.
We're not the only ones who thought Graham behavior was appalling:

Mark DaVia of Thompson, Conn., drives his Porsche 996 Twin Turbo across the country every year in the Cannonball One Lap of America race.
Mark DaVia is a quiet and humble champion, virtually unknown outside the esoteric world of barnstorming rally racers.
He's a family man, runs a successful business in New Haven, lives in an ordinary two-story home deep in the tranquil settings of Thompson. But for one week each year, DaVia makes a departure from his otherwise halcyon lifestyle with the turn of the ignition on his Porsche 996 Twin Turbo.
That's when the 600-plus horsepower engine purrs to life with all the subtlety of an angry lion, sending vibrations into his toes at the pedals and through his fingertips on the wheel. He looks across at the competition on the line at an Indiana racetrack and puts the hammer down. Centrifugal force kicks in as he takes off — from 0 to 120 mph in 10 seconds — at the opening of the annual Cannonball One Lap of America.
DaVia gears up for the competition each spring, the creation of racing journalist Brock Yates. It pits almost 100 drivers with questionable mental stability in a series of track races across the country through the span of a week.
Forget about sleep. Forget about adequate sustenance. Don't even think about $4 per gallon gas or the $4,000 you just spent on tires. It's all speed — sometimes legal, sometimes not, depending on the driver — for the next eight days and 5,400 miles.
"You start living in this completely different mode," said Chuck Veth of Madison, a friend of Davia who's competing in his fifth One Lap. "Gas, that's just an afterthought. When you add up hotels, meals, gas and everything else, no one component seems to be frightening. It's all one big commitment."
Seeks fifth win
When DaVia arrives in South Bend, Ind., at the end of the month, he and his racing partner, Drew Wikstrom of Fairfield, will be looking to add to the history they've already made at One Lap — DaVia has won four straight titles, and he's ready for a fifth.
"In 25 years, nobody has done what we've done," he said. "I don't think there's really anyone else who knows how to prepare like we do."
Veth will tell you that's true. He and his Porsche 996 GT3 hope to place in the top 10 this year. But he also knows it's near impossible to catch up with One Lap's ace.
"It's an amazing car. He and Drew have done great work on it," Veth said. "And he drives very fast right away. So if I can get close to him, that's a plus."
DaVia and Wikstrom spend most of the year working on the car: Tearing out the engine, freshening the clutch, rebuilding the transmission.
"We literally go through every nut and bolt of the car," DaVia said.
But ensuring you have a mechanically sound vehicle is only part of the preparation.
One Lap is about endurance as much as it is about speed.
Drivers have two to three races at different tracks in different states each day. Once they complete a race, they are given a certain amount of time — based on the mapped route's speed limits — to show up at the next track.
"As soon as it starts it's non-stop," DaVia said. "It's 24 hours a day for eight straight days."
That's where the questionable mental stability comes in. Who would want to put their body through that kind of punishment, and for what? A trophy?
Lots of people.
"Teams come in from all over the world. This is their thing," DaVia said. "For some people, this is their vacation."
Veth calls it summer camp for adults.
"It becomes very much like an annual reunion for people," he said.
Just 1 speeding ticket
It comes with a vacation-like price tag, too. After a $2,500 entry fee, food, a place to catch an hour or two of sleep here and there, and the cost of gas, the high-speed jaunt costs about $10,000. Throw in the occasional speeding ticket and it could be more, depending on how much a driver pushes the limits. DaVia's only received one ticket in his years racing, for going 74 mph in a 65 mph zone.
"You pretty much go as fast as you dare without getting busted," DaVia said about the travel between tracks.
Logging all those miles in a short amount of time, and on little sleep, forces a driver to become more like a machine.
When you're the champ, the money spent is worth it.
"It's the one thing he looks forward to each year," said DaVia's wife, Carole, who raced before the couple had children. "If he's doing what he loves, that's how I want it."
Aside from DaVia's own desire to capture a fifth title this year, he and Wikstrom are supporting a cause that means a lot to them. They raise money from family, friends and neighbors before the race and donate it to the Yale Women and Children's Center for Blood Disorders. After losing a child eight months into pregnancy to a blood disorder, the race took on extra meaning for the DaVias.
"Losing our son was extremely traumatic, so this means a lot," Carole DaVia said.
Most drivers raise money for a cause, DaVia said. Veth drives for The Bowery Mission in New York City, an organization dedicated to helping families caught in cycles of poverty and hopelessness.
But that's just one part of the week-long excursion around the country.
"The other part is it's just plain fun," Veth said. "But you wouldn't drive a car 160 (mph) down a straightaway and then take a sharp turn if you weren't trying to win."

I am pretty aggravated by the breakdown of scientific decision making in this country regarding the medical uses of marijuana. The reason why we don't have adequate research to prove patient claims by now is that this research has been politically forbidden and is being actively forbidden now. For about twenty years we have heard patient claims, we have written history of cannabis use medically going back 5000 years, we had 100 years of widespread medical use of cannabis in America, and in 1986 the discovery of the cannabinoid receptors showed that the cannabinoids in marijuana have a wide spectrum of pharamcological properties including every form of relief specifically in all of the above patient records. But still the federal government will not allow one single controlled study to determine for peer-reviewed publication whether marijuana in fact is useful in reducing AIDS wasting syndrome in people with AIDS. They are pushing massive trials of their favorite candidate for anti-emetic and anti-wasting therapy. It is a medicine familiar to Americans, it is called THALIDOMIDE and in their rush to get thalidomide-based trials going, they have short-circuited all normal regulations for using this horrifically dangerous substance. Meanwhile the only research NIDA will allow is research on the harmful side effects of the medical effects of cannabinoids that they say don't exist. For example, the director of NIDA is advertising happily data showing a slight suppression in fertility caused by cannabinoid action on follicle stimulating hormone and other things. Therefore this is not a safe drug and can't be legalized even for medical use!!! he trumpets. Well, Dr. Leshner - people with AIDS are not usually bothered by infertility, it's not a big issue with them. And most nonsteroidal anti-inflammatories if used during pregnancy double the chance of newborn pulmonary hypotension. (Cannabinoids in marijuana have been confirmed to do this at the same rate as prenatal stress or use of other NSA's such as Advil.) As a nation, in America we deal with the possibility of fetal side effects with MOST medicines by attaching a warning label, not a prison sentence. And those who have heard of THALIDOMIDE know those side effects were even worse than a lowered probability of conception. (Even aside from birth defects, peripheral nerve damage is an issue.) If any of you are in the California Medical Association or the American Medical Association, please consider the facts I am presenting and lobby to end this insanity. (All other organizations welcome to consider them too.) So many people with AIDS are now smoking marijuana to control wasting syndrome that it really ought to be a primary directive of federal marijuana research to be able to tell people with AIDS if this is a waste of their lungs or not, if what they feel is happening is really observable clinically and if there are any cross reactions with protease inhibitors! It is a horrific kind of injustice that the marijuana pilot study proposed by Dr. Abrams at UCSF has been repeatedly forbidden by Leshner personally at NIDA, while the federal government is rushing through big trials of thalidomide, a drug that already gave America one huge horrific SURPRISE side effect in the form of massive birth defects (and who knows how it will interact with HIV.) Why is thalidomide preferable to marijuana as an agent against AIDS wasting syndrome? Why is our governmental research oversight making this decision? If you belong to the AMA or CMA or other medical or scientific organizations, please talk to your organizations about how we can bring back a sense of logic and proportion to the manner in which medical marijuana research is conducted in this country. I recommend the reference PHARMACOLOGY OF CANNABINOID RECEPTORS ANNUAL REVIEW OF PHARMACOLOGY AND TOXICOLOGY vol. 35 1005 by A. Howlett for those not familiar with the idea of marijuana pharmcology. There is plenty of evidence in this paper to motivate controlled studies of the safety and effectiveness of most of the current patient claims about medical marijuana. Please speak up in your organization about this abuse of power over patients who want the best medicine for them, not the best medicine for the political agenda of Dr. Alan Leshner of the National Institute on Drug Abuse. I believe that authority over marijuana research should be taken away from NIDA and transferred to the control of a more objective body of doctors and scientists who can measure risk and benefit with a scientific yardstick rather than with a political one. -patricia

Outfit Details:
sweater - H+M
cut off shorts - Free People
dot tights - Madewell
otk boots - c/o Alberto Fermani
messenger bag - Ben Minkoff
eye makeup - Too Faced Return of Sexy palette (brown section)
lipstick - Bobbi Brown Roseberry layered with Smashbox Posy Pink
When it's cold outside, my giant sweaters and boots come out and most of my jewelry is neglected, since it's a little too chilly for metal on skin. But I've always said that makeup is my favorite accessory, so I tend to go a little more dramatic in the winter. Ultra bold lips or a smokey eye add enough to an outfit to forgo most other accessories. As much as my thin Floridian blood detests the dropping temperatures, I've always loved to layer my clothing like I have to wear everything, all at once - and I can't pass up an opportunity for a dramatic eye.
I've been taking a lot of photos indoors, these days, so you're finally starting to see more of my apartment. Once I figure out a way to get a decent shot in my living room (It's in the middle of the apartment, so it doesn't get a lot of natural light), I'll take you on a little tour of the place.
While I'm cozy and indoors, Cotton's Style Search Squad is out and on the move. We already finished our search in the Northeast , but there are still a lot of cities left where they're scouting cotton style for a chance to win $2,500 and a VIP trip to South Beach for Cotton's 24 Hour Runway Show. If you missed your city's date or are too far from the remaining locations (check the list here), you can submit your look online. There will be one winner from each region, and they're also giving away $1,440 each week to one lucky winner. You guys need to enter, because I want at least one of my readers to go to South Beach with us! No need for chunky sweaters and boots, there.

A recently completed 'dome house' at Bishops Wood environmental centre, near Stourport-on-Severn, could provide a groundbreaking solution to how buildings are made.
Jay Emery, who runs manufacturing specialist Dingley Dell Enterprises, has used African inspired designs to come up with a cost-effective construction system that uses glass reinforced concrete that offers a number of eco-friendly benefits.
Backed by specialist support from the Manufacturing Advisory Service – West Midlands (MAS-WM), the South African entrepreneur is hoping the project will provide the platform for him to enter dramatically different markets, ranging from high spec garden and office buildings through to vital low cost housing for the developing world.
He said: "When I started producing bushman burner chimineas 10 years ago I had to come up with a new material to replace terracotta and, at the time, I could see that glass reinforced concrete could be suitable for numerous applications.
Key facts on domes :
Height 3.5m
Floor space:28.5 m2

In May, the University of Maine, Orono, renamed its four-year-old rec facility the New Balance Student Recreation and Fitness Center after the athletic shoe maker gifted $5 million to the school. Thanks to New Balance, the facility now has an endowment fund of $3 million for its maintenance.
Corporate names are finding their way into other university rec centers (usually on a much smaller scale) as directors pursue sponsorships.
Deb Johnson, associate director for external relations for campus rec at the University of Nebraska, Lincoln, says she actively seeks partnerships with businesses that are a good fit for the program. The department's goal of $131,000 in sponsorship revenues is only a drop in the bucket of its annual budget of $8.4 million, but what matters more is that partnerships add value for students, Johnson says.
For example, campus rec recently partnered with video game maker EA Sports on a Football Challenge event that Johnson says was wildly popular.
With three new recreation facilities opening in the next few years, Johnson says she plans to step up the program's partnerships to offset added costs.
The $50,000 in sponsorships that campus rec at the University of Illinois, Champaign, attracts is not much, says Erik Riha, lead assistant director of marketing, but it helps assuage the burden to students who, like many others across the country, have faced tuition and fee hikes in recent years.
"We know that student fees probably have a ceiling," Riha says, "and a lot of schools are getting close to it."

You may have heard of "flash mobs" as a sort of impromptu gathering in a specific place, facilitated by social networking technology like blogs, Twitter, Facebook (FB) and texting. Sometimes the events are totally silly, but the point is the spontaneity of the event.
Just this past week, the world of genealogy experienced a "Flash Webinar" (Ol' Myrt's name for it) where a family historian decided to host a webinar on the fly, without weeks of advanced advertising and planning -- merely to demonstrate how to add a death certificate received in that day's snail mail to his ancestor's file.
We can relate to Geoff's excitement on receiving the anticipated death certificate. But how often do we get to see how a researcher chooses to enter data in his genealogy management software program?
Now genealogists do take things slightly slower than some others, and so Geoff gave a three-hour lead time by posting the announcement in his blog. He also provided a link to the scanned image of William Henry Brown's death certificate from 1948 up in Neah Bay, Washington, so the webinar participants could follow along.
BRAVO for this outside the box thinking!

P.S. Ol' Myrt is glad Geoff explained that while the length of the archived version of the webinar is 1 hour and 23 minutes, it wouldn't take the average user that long to enter one death certificate into an ancestor's profile.
Happy family tree climbing!
Myrt :)
