Hispanic Heritage Month is in full swing and The Latina Book Club continues its celebration and promotion of Latino authors.  Below is an impressive list of children's books and young adult authors.  I didn't include the obvious choices -- Esmeralda Santiago (When I Was Puerto Rican), Julia Alvarez (Return to Sender) and Sandra Cisneros (The House on Mango Street) -- to give their spots to "newer" authors, a few of whom have won the prestigious Pura Belpre Award.

We also did not include these two new authors -- Cindy L. Rodriguez (When Reason Breaks) and Valerie Tejeda (Hollywood Witch Hunters) -- because their works will not be out until 2015, but keep them in mind for the new year.  The Latina Book Club welcomes your additions to our list.  --mcf

Majority of world, Americans and Westerners oppose war path with Iran, but Israel lobby-corrupted politicians won't be swayed by democracy

(By Chris Moore) -- Juan Cole has an interesting graphic up at his blog Informed Comment. It shows that the majority of the world is opposed to the war path with Iran.

And really, the majority of Western peoples are opposed to the war path with Iran, as well. The only interests supporting it are the Israel lobby and its fifth column around the centers of power, the corrupt politicians they have bought off, and their various left-right useful idiots who are either blinkered, brainwashed and ignorant, or in thrall to the corrupt politicians whom the Zionists have compromised.

As Simon Tisdall reports in the Guardian:
A recent analysis of US public opinion revealed deeply ambivalent attitudes on Iran, with the majority of Americans apparently favouring diplomatic solutions. Yet as Republican presidential candidates exploit the issue, as the Israelis lobby America, and as Iranian factions manoeuvre ahead of parliamentary polls, the likelihood grows that doves and doubters will again be either converted or ignored.
And it's not just neocon Republicans who are hawkish on Iran at the behest of ideological Zionism and the Israel lobby, but bought-off liberal politicos, as well.

Zev Chafets notes in Newsweek's Daily Beast:
The Washington Post has estimated that Jews provide 60 percent of the party’s major individual contributions. The actual stat, according to a Democratic insider privy to unreleased research, puts the figure closer to 80 percent. In 2004, when so-called 527 organizations provided the biggest contributions, four Democratic donors—George Soros, Peter Lewis, Steven Bing, and the Sandler family—coughed up $73 million, more than the next 20 contributors, Republican and Democratic, combined. Jews are not simply supporters of the Democratic Party. They are stakeholders...Most Jewish Democrats are fans of Israel. When the team is doing well, they are glad to join the parade.
The determined and disciplined Israel-first cult has learned that modern Western politicians are nothing but politically correct whores who will sell their souls and sell out their own countries for a pittance, so buying wars on behalf of Israel and the larger Zionist agenda is relatively easy and cheap so long as the filthy lucre is spread around in the right areas.

The old adage, "One rotten apple spoils the barrel" applies doubly in the halls of politically correct, money-worshipping modern Western governmental power, only it should be modified to read "One wealthy, rotten lobby spoils the democracy."

Website Translations

What parts of my website should be translated?

You should focus on translating the parts of your website that will be relevant for the foreign operations you need to conduct. Please also remember that once you translate your website, you may receive requests and questions from potential clients that only speak the foreign language you translated your site into. Link Translations will be able to handle all of those inquiries for you and maintain your contact with your foreign customers.

Do you need full access to our site for translation?

No. We can just as easily provide the translation of your website content from MS Word or other text format that you submit to us. If you choose to update your website with the newly translated content in-house, we will continue assisting you by providing proofreading of the newly created pages.

How do you translate graphics that contain text?

We are quite adept at desktop publishing and have in-house graphic designers that help us handle graphics that contain text. Under certain cases, we may ask you to provide our graphic designers with the original pictures so that we may recreate the graphic with the new translated message.

Certified and Notarized Translations

What is a certified and notarized translation?

A certified and notarized translation is one which is being certified by the issuing office or translator as to the accuracy of the information contained in the translation. The certified translations are normally also verified for official use by a notary public.

What kind of documents require a certified translation?

Documents that require certified translation include:

  • Birth certificates
  • Marriage certificates
  • Divorce certificates
  • University degrees
  • Medical reports
  • Court orders
  • And any other document that needs to be certified for official use

How do I send you the documents I need translated?

In order to have any of these documents translated, you can send them to us by fax, mail or e-mail; or you can fill out our translation submission form so that one of our project managers may provide you with an instant and free translation quote.

How do I get my certified translations back?

Due to the certifications on the documents (cold stamp, original signatures and certification cover page) your certified and notarized translations need to be sent by mail. Once your translation is complete we will send you a confirmation and mail the translation to you either by regular mail or a courier service such as Fedex or UPS. It is very simple.

What is an apostille?

Apostille is an international certification comparable to a notarization and is often added to documents that have been in some manner signed by a Notary, lawyer or other public official such as the clerk of a court of record in their official capacity. It specifies the modalities through which a document issued in one of the signatory countries can be certified for legal purposes in all the other signatory countries.

How are apostille certifications used?

Apostille certifications are used for the certification of powers of attorney that are signed in one country but are aimed for use in another. An apostille certification is also necessary for documents that need to be considered official for use in the courts of other countries.

What is a consular certification?

A country which has not signed the apostille Convention must specify how foreign legal documents can be certified for its use. Sometimes two countries will have a special treaty concerning the recognition of each other’s documents, but usually not. When the country issuing or receiving the document does not recognize an apostille, you must usually take the document to the consulate of the foreign country you need to certify it and this process is known as “consular certification”

Consecutive Interpreting

Does consecutive interpretation require special equipment?

No. Consecutive interpretation requires no special equipment as the interpreter has all the time necessary to render the foreign language equivalent of the content after the speaker has finished their sentence.

Are additional interpreters necessary for consecutive settings?

Although consecutive settings do not require the attendance of more than one interpreter, in meetings where mistakes can not be tolerated both parties may elect to have an interpreter each for quality assurance. These types of consecutive interpretations with two linguists are very common for meetings of heads of state.

What are the downsides of consecutive interpreting?

As the flow of conversation during meetings that are dependent on consecutive interpretations interrupted by the linguist rendering the content in another language, meetings that utilize consecutive interpretations tend to proceed slower.

Simultaneous Interpreting

Does simultaneous interpretation require special equipment?

As the interpreter speaks simultaneously with the presenter, simultaneous interpretation settings necessitate special equipment such as interpretation booths, interpreter consoles, microphones and wireless receivers. Our project managers would gladly walk you through all the necessary equipment for your event and make sure that everything is in functioning order for your event.

Are additional interpreters necessary for simultaneous settings?

Simultaneous interpretation is very taxing on linguists. It is not possible to maintain an acceptable level of simultaneous translation quality for periods of over 15 – 20 minutes. That is why simultaneous interpreters work in pairs and alternate rest times during assignments.

How do I determine what type of equipment my meeting needs?

Our project managers would gladly walk you through all the necessary equipment for your event and make sure that everything is in functioning order for your event.

What are the downsides of simultaneous interpreting?

Simultaneous interpreting tends to be more costly than other interpretation types due to the fact that additional equipment, technicians and more than one interpreter is involved. It however yields better results for the participants and provides a much better flow to meetings.

Sony rolls out Android 5.1.1 for the Xperia Z1, Z1 Compact, and Z Ultra

September 15th, 2015   decode   Android, Android 5, Android 5.1, Android M, Sony Tags: ,

Sony511Sony is now rolling out the update to Android 5.1.1 Lollipop for three of its smartphones – the Xperia Z1, Xperia Z1 Compact, and Xperia Z Ultra. This follows a similar rollout which made its way to the Xperia Z, Xperia ZL, Xperia ZR, and Xperia Tablet Z last week.

The devices getting it this time around are basically successors of sorts to that particular series. They’re also quite old, which makes the fact that Sony is still supporting them even now an interesting fact.

For all three handsets, after applying the update you will be on build number 14.6.A.0.368. Currently the new software is live in only a few regions, but it’s expected to spread across the world in the coming days and weeks.

The update fixes the famous Stagefright vulnerability, adds additional options for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in the notification menu, has new themes and Settings icons, integrates LinkedIn with your Calendar and Contacts, and improves camera focus, speed, and accuracy.

Additionally, you get improvements to volume and silent mode control, new Xperia for Business features, instant calendar events (shareable from email), calendar agenda in Email, and you can use the Sony SmartWatch 3 as a remote shutter button for your camera.

Beginner Button Class – Asymmetrical Stripe Buttons

So how was Lesson Two of the Beginner Button Class for you?  There weren’t very many comments or additions to the gallery.  Don’t be shy!  If you have questions, please ask them.  And if you make the buttons, please show them off! The galleries will remain open for at least a month after the lessons are posted (I’m considering leaving them open even longer), so jump in whenever you can.

For this third lesson, we will be creating stripes, and using a cookie cutter to make consistently-shaped buttons. We’ll be making nine of them, three in each background color.

If you need a refresher on Conditioning or Baking your clay, you can find these instructions, as well as a Supplies + Tools list in Lesson One.

Additional Tools

  • 3/4-inch round cutter.  I have a large nested set like this one, which I love, but you can find smaller more affordable options at Polymer Clay Express, if you can’t find them locally.
  • brayer or acrylic rod.  Or, even the side of a straight-sided drinking glass that is no longer being used in the kitchen.  You just need something to flatten snakes of clay with.

For these buttons, we’ll be using 1/4 block of each color.  Cut each quarter in half, and then one of each half in half again, so that you have three pieces (2 small, one larger) of each color as shown.  Select one of the larger pieces to use as your base, and two of the smaller pieces to use as stripes, and set the other sections aside.

Condition the sections, and then use the brayer to roll out the larger piece to roughly 1/8-inch thickness.  Roll the two smaller pieces into snakes (as shown in Lesson Two).  They should be super skinny, about 1/8-inch wide.

Cut the snakes into 4 or 5 pieces, and lay them on top of the base, alternating colors, and pressing them down with your finger as you go.  Be sure to leave some space between the stripes so that the base color can show through.  The stripes will spread out as they are flattened.

Once you’ve covered the entire base with stripes, use your brayer to press the stripes into the base smoothly and evenly.

Position your cutter over the striped slab, looking through the top so as to choose the most pleasing arrangement of stripes to cut out.  You should be able to get three buttons out of this slab.

Repeat the entire process in the other two colors, for a total of nine striped buttons.  Poke your holes as usual and bake the buttons.

The rest of the slab – the parts that are too small and oddly-shaped to become a button – is the beginnings of your scrap pile.  Just press the scraps gently together in a ball-like shape, and set them aside.  We’ll be making something out of them in a future lesson.  Nothing goes to waste with polymer!

You may notice that you have extra snakes leftover.   So did I.  All this indicates is that we probably could have gotten away with using more clay for the bases, and less clay for the stripes.   If you want to try distributing your cuts differently in the first step (i.e. don’t cut it exactly in half – make the “half” that will become the slab a little bit larger than the “half” that will become the snakes) you would likely end up with fewer leftover snakes, and enough of a slab to cut out an extra button or two.  Feel free to experiment!  The worst that can happen is you end up with more for  your scrap pile.  It’s ok – there will still be enough clay left to finish the class, even if you have to re-do one of the lessons.

Your turn

Go forth and be stripey! If you have any questions, you may leave them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them. Once your buttons are done, I hope you will blog about them, or post them to flickr, and leave your link below so we can all see how you did!

Next week

Polka Dot Focal Buttons!

All five lessons, plus other useful tips included in one PDF.

29 thoughts on “Beginner Button Class – Asymmetrical Stripe Buttons

  1. I’m making these mentally, step by step, each time you put
    up a new lesson. I hope to get to a store this weekend and
    get a cutter. I think your precision is part of what makes
    your buttons so lovely. I have a couple of new collections
    of fat quarters and charm packs I’m anxious to make something
    with and make buttons to match following your lessons. Thank you so much for sharing your wonderful talent. Hope I can
    put some pictures up soon.

    1. Ooh, fun! I love matching clay colors to fabric 🙂 I’m glad you’re enjoying the lessons! Here’s a little tip: if you are making buttons with a pattern on them, and you don’t want to pattern to get lost among the pattern in your fabric, put the button on a patch of solid fabric. Kind of like these scarves, or this mug cozy. Looking forward to seeing what you make!

  2. I love this idea. Great tutorial!

  3. Is anyone else getting a 404 error message when trying to view the gallery pictures? Just curious.

    1. Oops! Totally my fault. Problem solved 🙂 Thanks for mentioning it!

  4. Lisa,
    On the striped buttons, my stripes are raised from the base of the button. Is that correct, or should I have rolled them more, until they were level with the base?

    1. Mine are also raised from the base. It’s a matter of preference. I often prefer everything to lay flat, but in this case (and in tomorrow’s lesson) I like the added bits to be somewhat distinct from the base. Whatever you think looks best for your own buttons is fine!

  5. I can’t get the pdf thing to work. Is anyone else having trouble with this?

    1. It works for me. What happens when you click on pdf?

  6. Has anyone washed polymer buttons? How did they go in the wash?

    1. I wash them all of the time. As long as you are using a strong clay like I mentioned in the first lesson, they should be just fine. Some have suggested using a gentle cycle, or leaving the garment inside-out, or not putting them through the dryer, but I’ve never taken any special precautions with mine.

  7. polymer clay button tutorial:

  8. Oops, I’ll have to try the stripe lesson again. I rolled my base color too thin. Don’t think they would hold up very long. Fun lesson though. Thanks again!

    1. You’re welcome. And you should try baking the buttons anyway. They may surprise you – the right brands of polymer are exceptionally strong when baked properly, even when rolled thin.

  9. […] dejamos este enlace en el que podéis ver cómo se hacen botones asimétricos y […]

  10. Your website looks great. I love the button pictures. I am very impressed.

    1. Thank you. Glad you enjoyed the buttons!

  12. […] How To Make a Asymmetrical Stripe Buttons. So cute. […]

  13. Não sei nfalar Inglês, por isso gostaria de obter a tradução do passo a passo de como fazer botõe.

    1. I hope Google Translate can help you with the instructions. That’s what I used to figure out your comment! I find it very helpful 🙂

  14. Wow, have tried to make these and they have come out ok. I’m trying to make them look as professional as possible but having a problem with the shape. I’m using a silicone button mould but fine it difficult to get them out and having to slice the excess off the back which ruins the shape of the button. Any ideas…. Thank you Natasha x x

    1. I have two suggestions:

      1. Use a mold release. Spray the mold with a little bit of water, or dust it with some corn starch, to keep the clay from sticking in the mold.
      2. Use a very sharp blade to cut the excess clay from the back. If the blade is sharp enough, it should slice right through without distorting the shape of the clay. A scientific tissue blade, or a clay blade like this one should do the trick.

      Hope that helps!

  • miscellaneous small cutters in your choice of shape.  I am using a 1.25-inch circle cutter and a .75-inch square cutter.
  • brayer or acrylic rod.
  • sheet of plastic wrap like Saranwrap or deli wrap.

You should have a small pile of scrap clay leftover from the previous two lessons.

Note: If you don’t have scrap clay handy, you can use some of your remaining solid colors and mush them together a few times so that they resemble a pile of scraps.

Press your scraps together in your hand until they form a short log.  Grasp the log at each end, and turn your hands in opposite directions, in order to twist the log and form thick stripes. Roll between your palms to smooth the edges.

Place the striped snake on your work surface and roll it back and forth to smooth and elongate it. Use both palms, one at each end, gently guiding the snake towards the edges of your work surface, but in opposite directions – the movement will lengthen the snake, and at the same time, tighten the striping.

Trim the messy ends off of the snake, and begin coiling the snake.

Continue coiling until you reach the end of the snake, and you should have a large striped snail shell.

Use the brayer to flatten the shell into a 1/4-inch slab.

Place a sheet of plastic wrap on top of the slab, and use your cutters to cut out as many buttons as you possibly can.

Poke holes in the buttons, and set the buttons aside on your baking tray.

You now have a new pile of scrap clay, made up of the remaining slab, and the two messy ends that you cut off of the snake.  Take all of these scraps and repeat the process: form thick snake, twist into stripes, roll out thin & long, coil it, flatten into slab.

Again, cover the slab with plastic wrap and cut out some more buttons.  These will be similar to the first, but the striping on them is likely to be somewhat tighter, and you will begin seeing more secondary colors as the original clays combine with each other.

You will have more clay leftover after this pass.  Continue to repeat the process, until you are left with an amount of scrap that feels too small to turn into a slab.  At this point, skip the slabbing step, and simply turn the whole snake into a single striped snail shell focal button.

The shape and quantity of the buttons you get out of your scrap clay will vary, of course, but in this particular case I ended up with ten extra buttons.  Not bad for materials that were going to go to waste otherwise, eh?

Your turn

Let’s see what your scrap can do! If you have any questions, you may leave them in the comments and I’ll do my best to answer them. Once your buttons are done, I hope you will blog about them, or post them to flickr, and leave your link below so we can all see how you did!

Next week

I’ve decided to add a bonus lesson: Taking it to the Next Level, with hints and resources for those of you who want to go further and make their buttons look more “professional.”  Meet me back here for that next week!

All five lessons, plus other useful tips included in one PDF.

Magazine e-subscription giveaway!

I’ve been trying to wean myself off of print magazines lately, for both ecological and household decluttering purposes.  I love curling up with a good crafty magazine, and I have to admit that I have always thought the tactile multi-sensory experience of page-turning was a big part of that. So I didn’t expect this, but I don’t really miss the rustling pages, and I don’t find the magazine-reading experience to be diminished by the technology at all. Plus, there’s something to be said for the ease of carrying around a whole library of crafty inspiration in one simple device.

By way of serendipity, Zinio contacted me just as I was dipping a toe into the electronic magazine world.  Zinio is an app that allows you to subscribe to magazines and read them right there on your tablet device (Android or iPad) or home computer (PC or Mac). Their selection of magazines, including many of the crafty variety, is pretty impressive.

(You can explore their subscription catalog via any of Zinio’s free apps.)

So here’s the good news: Zinio has given me a number of free subscriptions to hand out to some lucky readers!  All you need to do is leave a comment on this post. Tell me the name of your favorite magazine, if you like. Expand my horizons! Leave your comment by Midnight Tuesday, November 27, and I will choose winners at random.

Here’s something else neat: Zinio is currently running a sweepstakes. Enter to win an iPad mini. All entrants receive a $5 off coupon that they can use towards any magazine in their catalog. Nice, eh? Even if you don’t win my giveaway, you still get a little something just for entering the sweepstakes.

Good luck!

[Disclaimer: I was offered e-magazines in exchange for this post, but (as always) all opinions contained herein are my own.]

27 thoughts on “Magazine e-subscription giveaway!

  1. Knit Wear is my absolute favorite magazine – excellent technique focus and articles. I learn something from every issue and the patterns are things real people can wear, not just high fashion knitted nonsense. Thank you for sharing this opportunity!

  2. Besides the usual crochet magazines I’m a big fan of Real Simple, Craft Inc., and Dwell.

    Oh and it would be so much fun to win this contest – it closes on my birthday!

  3. I never thought of the aspect of having magazines on my iPad as a way of being green and of keeping clutter in my house down. There are several magazines I would like to subscribe to, but I find the clutter unacceptable, so this is an excellent alternatives. I’m a knitter, crocheter and quilter, so there are several I would subscribe to. My first choice would be Fons and Porter’s American Patchwork and Quiting. Thanks for opening my eyes!

  4. I don’t know that I will be telling you of a new magazine but I do love Interweave Crochet and Crochet Today. It is interesting to hear that you don’t miss the paper form, that has always been my struggle and reason for not trying the digital version of magazines up until this point!-Thanks for the chance to win and Happy Thanksgiving!

  5. Thank you for the giveaway! My favorite is Vogue Crochet.

  6. My favorite is Interweave Knits (which I already read on Zinio!), but I also love Martha Stewart Living and Marie Claire Idees (in French).

  7. My favorite magazine is Burda but I also love to read crochet and knitting magazines. Thank you.

  8. I would love love to be able to read interweave knits on my ipad. right now any subscription cost is out of my budget. this would be an awesome win for me. thanks for doing this Lisa!! Hope you have a great Thanksgiving

  9. Thanks for pointing out this service–such a terrific range! I love so many of those magazines, and interweave knits is one I normally don’t look at because it isn’t at the grocery store! Hope I win! Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!

  10. I love, love, love Zinio! KnitScene is currently one of my favs.

  11. I love your blogs and your tutorials, especially the button ones. I would love to win a subscription to Cloth Paper Scissors. They offer so many mixed media ideas! Thanks for the chance….

  12. Hi Lisa, A few years ago I bought a Kindle, wasn’t sure I would like it because I love the feel of the paper or hardback books, so it was a large leap for me. It turns out I can’t put it down. I carry it with me where ever I go. The thought of carrying all my books on one unit and still enjoy the thrill of a read and totally forget that it’s an electronic device and not an actual book, is quite an eye opener for me. So, I took another leap into the new world of electronic devices and got a small tablet called the Nexus. I believe the same thing will be happening to me with this new device, carry everything with me and no bulk. To be able to carry magazine subs. on this tablet is great in many ways, but one that comes to mind right away is the pages don’t get crumpled or ripped pushing it in and out of my carry-all bag. Just one of many reasons that this offer of winning a free subscription sounds wonderful. I’m just getting into working with clay, so any magazine addressing that process is fine with me. Thanks for a great blog, great information and projects. Fun… Happy Turkey Day!

  13. I read about 20 magazines, all on my iPad. National Geographic is absolutely gorgeous and was my first e-mag. In the crafty genre I subscribe to PolymerCafe, Making Jewelry, and Beads and Beyond. The last two are British magazines, with good contemporary projects. I also read Making and Molly Makes, both of which often have crochet projects.

  14. I love the Interweave Knits magazine but I’m also a big fan of the British magazine Mollie Makes.
    I have just found your blog via Ravelry where I was looking at the Tea Leaves cardigan pattern 🙂

  15. My favorite magazine is Nylon. They always have awesome clothes/new music in their issues.

  16. Hi – i have been reading your blog for about 1 month now and really look forward to reading your new posts – i found it when i was googling loom knit neck warmers, and i made it and love it! Thanks! I dont know what Zinio is but i am going to look it up now, I have an Ipad and use the kindle app for reading, but would like to try magazines, my favorite is Good Housekeeping or Family Circle – i dont really know of any crafting magazines but now i will have to look that up too! Thanks for the chance to win, and thanks again for posting that loom knitting video on the neck warmer! – Jen Gottschalk

  17. My favourite magazine is called ‘landscape’ – in the UK.

  18. Right now I’m into sewing and I love Stitch magazine. Lisa, this is a great giveaway.

  19. Hobby Farm!

  20. The yoga journal is my favorite

  21. I don’t have a tablet device, but I’ve toyed with the idea of getting mags on my PC. I loooooove knitting and quilting magazines! Interweave has my favorite yarny subscriptions.

  22. My favorite(s)? Martha Stewart’s Living Magazine and Mary Jane’s Farm.

  23. Lisa, I have done a major clean out too and have vowed not to subscribe to any mag that’s not digital. I have to credit Interweave for putting so many of their back issues on CD sets.

    I would say Bead and Button.

  24. Hello lisa.
    First of all I would like to really thank you for your blog. I am writing from Spain and weeks ago I came across your app at the store. I have learned to crochet and knit by myself in the last two years and your posts give me new ideas and open doors for future projects. I also like how your post are written with useful tips, how you introduce your daily comments, events in USA…
    I do not really know any of the magazines you have there. Which one would you recommend?
    Thank you. Best wishes

  25. I get a lot of health motivation from Experience Life. I agree with others about Yoga Journal and Mollie Makes! If I win, I will probably choose knitscene or stitch.

    Thanks! Happy Thanksgiving to all in the US

  26. My favorite magazine is Step by Step Wire. It is awesome and full of great jewelry projects. I love your blog! I love all the cute projects you do!!!

  27. Hi there, my name’s Gulnaz n i live in Karachi, Pakistan. I took up knitting earlier this year, on my trip to London where i got in touch with a splendid lady who’s authored two books n is a knitting guru.

    I’d like it if u choose me for this giveaway; i’m in love with knitting n have completed a few projects for family n friends. I don’t find these magazines here n buying them online is a bit pricey. My fav is Let’s Knit, bought a copy on my last trip n love flicking through. Have eyed quite a few beginners’ project n plan on doing them soon.

Fall is nearly upon us, which means class is back in session! We’re studying up on a dozen oysters, building brick ovens and discovering new flavors. We dug deep into why so many great restaurants are closing in New York City, found out where our sushi tuna is coming from and put together a list of fall beers to try. Speaking of fall, we’re dreaming of upcoming travel and compiled an eating and drinking guide to Portland, Maine. All that and more in this week’s Hot Topics.

  1. Great NYC restaurants are closing, but high rent isn’t the only reason.
  2. Don’t just blindly slurp down those oysters! Get to know these 12 varieties.
  3. ‘Tis the season for fall travel, and Portland, Maine, is the place to go.
  4. Need a weekend project? Try building your very own brick pizza oven.
  5. Move over, umami. “Starchy” is the newest flavor.
  6. Is your tuna sushi farm-raised or wild-caught? And where is it from?
  7. We spiced up our chicken game in our Test Kitchen. Here’s the Thai-inspired recipe.
  8. Give your kitchen Morocco flair with tagines, tea kettles, couscoussiers and more.
  9. Sick of pumpkin ale? Here are four other beer styles you can sip all fall long.
  10. These shiny snap peas with crispy broken rice will satisfy your crunch craving.

We Are Our Own Worst Enemy

I have a lot of phone calls late at night with other special needs parents in various states. They are friends of mine, and we talk frequently, and at some length. We talk about everything under the sun. We see each other online in various support groups, on facebook, and on twitter. Most of us are bloggers. Some are not. But the thing that brought us together in the first place was the fact that we are all parents of at least one special needs child. It doesn't matter what the diagnosis for our children is. We are all doing the "long, hard journey without a map" thing.

We laugh together. We cry together. We curse at the powers that be. We rant about lack of services, clueless school districts/teachers/principals/doctors/therapists/neighbors. We rejoice when one of our children makes progress. We send birthday greetings, and  "I'm rapidly losing my mind!" texts. We know that it may take hours for a text to get a response, and we understand. We are family, though we may not have ever met in person, we are family. We understand, and we empathize. Because we are all traveling without a map. I am no different than many,many MANY special needs parents who seek online support and understanding and reassurance.

But invariably there is drama. One person loves Autism Speaks, another foams at the mouth if Autism Speaks is mentioned even in passing. Someone supports a fraudulent iPads for Special Needs Kids organization, many others despise the lies and the schemes. The drama grows to a point at which the closeness is lost. The friendship is gone. It doesn't matter anymore that the parents met in the first place because of their children. It doesn't matter that the goals are the same, though the methods are not.

Suddenly, the support and friendship and reassurance of yesterday becomes today's sworn enemy. That begs the question, "Why can't we all just get along?" Regardless of whether my child's autism is genetic or a vaccine injury, we both have children with autism. Regardless of which organizations you support and which you publicly shun, we're all in this together.. doing the very best we know how to get our kids what they need.

People are shuttling back and forth between support groups, joining this one, banning that one, tweeting threats, taking screen shots, is it all worth it? In some cases, where crimes are committed, yes. It's worth it. But in general, if it's just a case of disagreement between parents.. WHY? What is the point? Why??? Seriously. I need to know. What is the purpose? It's getting ridiculous, and it's ruining the sense of community.

As part of its continued push into the AI (Artificial Intelligence) sector, Google has just exposed that it has acquired a new deep learning Google AI startup. The India based Halli Labs the latest addition to Google’s Next Billion Users team, joining the world-leading tech company less than two months after the startup’s first public appearance. The young company has described its mission announcement at Google as “to help get more technology and information into more people’s hands across the world.” Halli announced the news itself in a concise post on Medium, and Caesar Sengupta, a VP at Google, confirmed the purchase shortly subsequently on Twitter.

While Halli Labs is still in its infancy, the company’s founder – Pankaj Gupta — is a data scientist who has worked at Twitter as well as defunct Indian Airbnb competitor Stayzilla. Google acquiring AI firms is hardly shocking news, but the tech giant’s focus on expanding into developing markets is what separates them from other recent acquisitions. With Google formerly introduced region-specific offline versions of apps and even installation of Wi-Fi into Indian railway stations, the tech behemoth has already revealed its interest in making life easier for the country’s growing population of internet users worldwide.Google AI Startup

With Halli Labs’ announcement on twitter is stating that Google’s prominence is on solving “older problems”, this fascinating acquisition appears to show, Google once again using Artificial Intelligence to double down on servicing the world’s internet users.

12 day Lomilomi Healing Arts Immersion
April 4-15,2018

Live together in harmony with Nature, Spirit and other People
while learning massage that is grounded in Hawaiian Big Island lomilomi lineage

Led by Barbara Helynn Heard, LMP

Watch this 3 minute video
to get a feel for this 12 day lomilomi healing arts immersion.

Aloha all,

I  have created this lomilomi immersion program to pass on to others some of the profound  experiences I've been gifted with by my own special teachers over the past six decades.  My growth in immersive settings such as weekend, week-long, and even month-long workshops has consistently been transformative, amazing, and generally joyful for me.  I offer this lomilomi immersion program with intent to create an environment which fosters transformative and joyful experiences for others.

  • Spent about 6 hours daily giving and receiving lomilomi.
  • Learn the Awareness Massage fundamental full body lomilomi  protocol.
  • Learn additional supplemental and/or advanced treatment lomilomi.  The specific supplemental/advanced work taught each year varies.
  • Learn an effective way to use body weight which differs from the manner in which use of body weight is commonly taught in most massage schools.  Keep your body safe; avoid burnout; thrive doing massage as long as you'd like to continue doing so.
  • Consistently refine their palpation skills so that both the massage therapist and the  recipient are able to be more present in their bodies, and to feel very specific, and sometimes subtle, sensations.
  • Embrace the reality of unlimited healing potential as you experience your bodies, and the bodies of people we massage, as absolutely amazing.

Awareness Massage Lomilomi is grounded in Big Island lomilomi via my 13 years focused mentorship with Mana Lomi® founder, Dr. Maka'ala Yates, D.C., 9 years of which I taught Mana Lomi® classes with Maka'ala's guidance.  Maka'ala apprenticed for 16 years  with beloved and well known teacher  Aunty Margaret Machado.  I have also been influenced by about 10 other lomilomi teachers with whom I have studied.

Big Island Style Lomilomi is therapeutic, specific body work which addresses and helps resolve injuries and movement restriction.  It is structurally focused massage which incorporates concepts of Hawaiian spirituality, meditation techniques, and indigenous values.  This lomilomi connects with bones and is done with deep yet gentle touch which feels wonderful to both give and receive.

I bring to this lineage a passion for helping people deeply sense their own essential inner goodness and beauty via the use of specific, loving touch.  I also integrate extensive somatic movement awareness exploration into the Big Island lomilomi I have learned.

Most participants these lomilomi immersions are professional massage therapists, or students in massage school.  Occasionally someone who shares massage only with family and friends join us, and I warmly welcome these folks too!

The 2018 program theme is "Exploring our Life Purpose"

We will:

  • Develop, identify and name our life's purpose.
  • Learn lomilomi massage:  (1) full body protocol and (2) supplemental techniques including  specific treatment work for the back, pelvis, neck & shoulders.  Chair and floor massage, time permitting.  Because we have more expansive time available during this immersion than when I teach the similar material in a shorter classes,  participants generally develop greater finesse and expertise.
  • Take a field trip: visit a special location on the Olympic Peninsula.
  • Learn Hawaiian healing meditations, chants & songs
  • Learn a hula dance
  • Create various Hawaiian crafts one of which will be bamboo stamp carving.
  • Experience introduction to ho’oponopono, the art of aligning with the highest good for all, with body, mind & spirit
  • Participate in body awareness exercises: feel and move your body every day with increased awareness and joy
  • Experience daily personal cleansing ceremony
  • Connect with a deeper sense of our own inner goodness within community
  • live communally with 7-9 people, including cooking and eating together
  • Rest, release, repair, and restore our bodies, minds and Spirit
  • Have fun!!
  • Earn 64 NCBTMB approved massage continuing education credits.

Watch this 4 minute video
to see the 2017 immersion participants together dance the hula they learned. These folks had no prior experience with hula, and this video was taken after they had been learning for only about a week.

This immersion program runs on a four year cycle with different and unique themes each of the four years.  Attend the immersion program for four years to experience the full program.

  • 2013:  Tend your Bowl of Light by acknowledging and developing your gifts
  • 2014:  Know your Life Purpose
  • 2015:  Ho'oponopono
  • 2016:  Lōkahi: developing personal harmonious relationship between Spirit, Nature and Humanity.
  • 2017:  Developing our Gifts and our Gratitude
  • 2018:  Exploring our Life Purpose
  • 2019:  Ho'oponopono: cutting ties to that which no longer serves us, connecting with our Highest Good
  • 2020:  Lōkahi: developing personal harmonious relationship between Spirit, Nature and Humanity.

Students with passion for this work will attend the entire four year cycle.  Repetition is a fantastic teacher!!

We will live and learn 'ohana (family) style in the Seal Rock home in the town of Brinnon on Hood Canal.  This is a  big, beautiful, light filled, waterfront vacation home north of Olympia, WA.  Click here to see photos.

We communally prepare and share delicious, mostly organic meals.  I take your food preferences into consideration in planning the meals so you'll have food that you enjoy.

We will live together as family.  Most participants will share a bedroom with one other person; one or two participants may have a private room.  Each person will of course have their own bed, unless they attend as a couple.

Transportation will be arranged from Seattle as needed.  For folks who need it we will either use shuttle service to and from SeaTac airport or arrange for shared car rental.  The cost for this transportation is NOT included in the program fee.

All nine of us started out as strangers and left here family.  Speaking for myself, I came to this immersion seeking a few things.  The most important gift I wanted to receive was achieved.  I discovered how to alter it and receive it.  I found patience and peace when I feel frustration and also chose patience and peace when I feel frustration.  I owe it to this experience and to Barbara for helping me with that.  I’ve completely altered my way of perception and ability to receive gifts.  I’ve also learned things I can use beyond the massage room.  I loved starting with somatics and guided meditation and the food was awesome.

There was so much thought and work put into this retreat.  We had even the most specific and specialty foods here!  Our time was the perfect balance of structure and freedom.  Barbara is really a teacher by nature and has a deep understanding of the work she does.  I’ve deepened my knowledge of massage and awareness of my own body in the most effective and fun ways – like hula.  I learned so much about Hawaiian culture and spent time with amazing people in a safe and BEAUTIFUL space.

The environment was perfect for learning.  I learned new skills to better my massage practice and lengthen my career physically with proper body mechanics.

Barbara is a great teacher.  She can break down the steps in a concise way.  Everyone understood and had plenty of time to learn the material.  In the end she understands that we students will make lomilomi our own so there is a great deal of creativity allowed.  She always has fun crafts for us to do in the evenings.  She has taught me ways to take care of my body, which will and has added longevity to my practice.  I will always be grateful for the things she taught me.

Just back from the 2015 12 day Mana Lomi Immersion and it has been a truly transformational experience! Barbara is an exceptional and gifted teacher and shares the length and depth of her knowledge and experience with ease and expertise. I feel a dramatic shift in the way of doing massages, as it was meant to be done, with greater presence and connection to clients.The program is carefully crafted and offered much more than I ever imagined. Happy to have made some wonderful new friends, eat delicious healthy food and dance the hula!

Leena Marharaj

I must say that this was an immersion in every sense of the word. We (6 of us) were immersed in Mana Lomi® and Hawaiian culture daily... learning Hawaiian songs, Hula and crafts.

Barbara is an amazing instructor. We were never bored, she always had something new for us to learn and was continually available for questions and help if we needed it.  Having a small class was perfect for individual attention.

The location, right on Summit Lake in Olympia, couldn't have been better...with the tranquility of the lake view right outside, and family style gourmet-type meals daily, none of us wanted to leave!

I highly recommend this immersion if you are looking for a healing modality that encompasses clinical work with a side of spirituality, if you are looking for something special to offer your clients, and/or if you are interested in bettering your body mechanics.

When I first signed up for the immersion I had it in my head that I was heading to the West Coast to learn another massage modality.  What I walked away with is so much more.  I was able to become more in-tuned to my body, soul, and mind.  Learned how to deal with an illness and still persevere, how to work well with others in a close living environment, and how to appreciate other cultures, nature, & foods.  I have returned home to the East Coast with another level of appreciation, and friends for life.

Final ceremony completed!

I find it hard to find an expression to communicate the experience of these last two weeks.  The nature is cathedral like, the lake is perfect, the mountains are humbling. The people I have shared this time with...Ba Lan, Terri, Donna, Kadie, Barbara, Chuck, and   Michael, will always be family to me.  The bodywork we learned connected me deeper not only to myself but to all living things... A new delight and appreciation for touch and not just "massage"... A whole new way of life!

 Here's to stepping into my life and body more fully!   Now off to see the Pacific Ocean for the first time in my life!!!!!!  ALOHA!!!

This class was more than I expected. Barbara is a generous gifted teacher. Her teaching is balanced on mind, body,and spirit. She is attentive to the details and works with students to ensure that their intuition is alive and feeling.

Not only does she award scholarships for Mana Lomi techniques, she also has a deep resource of knowledge that focus towards spirit and mind healing. She engages her students in fun Hawaiin culture activities from art,dance,chants and teaches the rich history of the Hawaiin culture. You walk away covered in the mantle of Aloha spirit.

I was a student of her 10 day workshop. I walked away from the workshop a changed and healed woman in spirit, mind and body. If you have a churning in your soul I would urge you to sign up for these Mana Lomi classes. You will be very glad you persued this.

PS. Barbara, is a GREAT COOK!!!!!! Her Lamb Stew was the bomb!!!!!!!

Thank You Barbara,

Southwark’s Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony

The annual Holocaust Memorial Day ceremony at the Holocaust memorial tree in Geraldine Mary Harmsworth Park was led by Rabbi Alan Greenbat from the Chief Rabbi's office.

"The Holocaust was a defining event of the 20th century," said Rabbi Greenbat.

"Unlike the quality of mercy which blesses the donor and the recipient, the Holocaust besmirched the perpetrators and devastated the victims.

"The world was provided with an object lesson in horror and murder when a nominally civilised nation allowed itself to become dehumanised."

"There are literally millions of reasons for us to ensure that such a catastrophe never happens again."

The brief service, which included the singing of Psalm 23, was followed by another ceremony at the adjacent Soviet War Memorial and speeches from the Mayor of Southwark Cllr Jeff Hook and Simon Hughes MP.

Wreaths were laid by representatives of Southwark and Anglo-Russian organisations, as well as representatives of the embassies of the former Soviet republics.

The next public event at the Soviet War Memorial is the Victory Day ceremony on Sunday 9 May.

On Tuesday the Greater London Authority's observance of Holocaust Memorial Day was held at City Hall. Wreaths were laid by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson and the chair of the London Assembly Darren Johnson AM.

The Statement of Commitment signed by the Mayor and Assembly chair is contained in a book open for the public to sign at City Hall for the rest of the week.

Keeping Canadians Warm and Entertained since Mid to late October

Poll: Canadians Support Moose in 'Moose-Shark' Conflict

Canada NewsLong John IndexComment

Original Photo courtesy @auraborealis199 , taken near Timmins, Ontario

With news this week that a Greenland Shark had attacked and almost choked on a piece of Newfoundland (and Labrador) Moose, many Canadians are wondering: is the Shark / Moose ceasefire over? Is War Imminent?

And more importantly, “Whats a Greenland Shark doing off the coast of Newfoundland eating Canadian Mooses? Do they not have Mooses in Greenland? Eat your own Mooses! You don’t see our Sharks coming over to Greenland and eating your Mooses!”

In anycase…

While many people are concerned, a completely unscientific poll of Canadians reveal that without question, in Shark vs Moose, Canada backs the Shark.

“I’m firmly in Moose Camp”, says @Erin_Bourne

“Would frankly put my money on a moose. Have almost been eaten by them repeatedly; never a shark. #notevensnowsharks” says @yegmapgie

“Perhaps the polar bears can mediate?” @pattimar13

Polar Bears could not be reached for comment. (Actually thats not true, they could be reached, but they were too busy drinking double doubles to comment.)

Whatever the future holds for Sharks and Moose, it’s clear that relations between the two species are at an all time low.

THIS DREAM THE WORLD: New & Selected Poems
NASTY WOMEN POETS: An Unapologetic Anthology of Subversive Verse
Detroit as Barn
  Crystal Williams

ISBN 978-0-9911465-0-5    $18.00  /  $21 (Canada)    6 x 9   76 pp   Feb 2014    Poetry

Visionary, charged with tense grace, Crystal Williams’ new collection Detroit as Barn is an extraordinary act of redemption. Language becomes fact, agency, and what it makes is real as brick. More real: Williams’ desperate and ecstatic poetry takes us beyond Simulacrum Detroit, the stage-set of crisis capitalism, to the human landscape of absolute potential and contingency: “the hidden sack/in which we each stash/a God, the gods, tatters/of kindness, four halved plums.” Williams’ aim is to reclaim a world, knowing that the signposts have been deliberately mislabeled—“history is nothing more/than a chronic transfer of limitations,/a way of understanding/who we might have been & who we are/is bodies born of shackles.” Williams’ taut lines are wild to intervene, to create new forms. This book is a journey, from the stunted myths we inhabit towards a city still to be acknowledged, a city of living women and men.

—D. Nurkse

Times may be tough, Detroit, but oh you are lucky in love. And lucky beyond all measure in your newest laureate, the marvelous Crystal Williams. If Detroit in decline is like one of those barns we see on a country road—unpainted, emptied-out, and leaning ever nearer to its Mother Earth—here are poems to praise the good hard wood that made it and the pitch of the roof once raised in praise. Here are songs of sorrow and fierceness that make us believe in joy again.

—Linda Gregerson

In Detroit as Barn, Crystal Williams distills the breathing presences and absences in her native city, its industrial decay and human resilience, its shouts of despair and whispers birthing love. Her poetry teaches us the words to the beauty that the world passes over, discovers the soul in what has been lost or cast aside. This book gives me hope for America and for American poetry—and hope too for the spirit of Detroit that lives within us all.

—David Mura

Review of Detroit As Barn in New Pages: W3C

Detroit as Barn

for Phil Levine

Gone the hay. Gone the tools. Gone the morning work.
Over there a tractor rusts. Gone the cows, goats,
the slack-tongued mule. Left are owls & rats, fat, wily cats,
& the field where wild weeds grow.

The farmer, they whisper, driving past, knows everything
a body needs to know about dying. You can tell
by how he doesn’t bother to paint or prop
the barn’s worn wood.

Still, folks click their teeth & wonder on which day,
at what time, the pitiful barn will give. The farmer too
scratches his mighty, balding head.

But he’s forgotten the good wood he used,
the hard nails, the family, the friends & their strong backs,
that long ago barn raising, that cider & fine punch.

—Crystal Williams

Trading Tips

Always use Stop Loss Orders. If you don’t use them, it will ruin you financially. We recommend stops of 30 pips above or below your entry price.

Don’t loose more than 2%-5%
of your total capital in each trade. Adjust your stop orders and leverage if needed.

Let the profits run, cut the losses. Use a “Trailing Stop”If your broker doesn’t support it, you can do it manually. Set the stop price at 30 pips (or the amount that you have chosen) above/below the maximum/minimum price since your entry. You will have to adjust the stop level continuously, but you will get much better results.

The Trend is your Friend!” Go with the trend never go against the trend.

Capitalize well. Fund your account with enough money. For standard accounts, at least $5000 (for mini accounts $500).

Don’t leave trades open overnight. In addition, your Forex broker will charge you “interests” for open positions overnight. Interest is generally charged at 5:00 p.m. EST. Please keep in mind that most brokers will also charge 3 X times the regular interest rate on Wednesdays.

The number’s don’t lie” – all available information and its impact on traders, and the market, is already reflected in a currency’s price.

History repeats itself – over time, certain chart patterns become consistent, predictable and very reliable. The catch is SEEING them.

Never start Trading without FIRST using a DEMO Account .A Demo Account allows you to become familiar with trading procedures, such as placing Market, Stop and Limit orders without any risk. All dollar losses or gains in a Demo Account are imaginary but the EXPERIENCE is INVALUABLE!

Even More Efficient, More Sporting and for the First Time with Hybrid Drive

World Debut in Geneva: The New Porsche Cayenne

Stuttgart. Dr. Ing. h.c. F. Porsche AG, Stuttgart, is presenting the brand-new generation of the Cayenne Sports Utility at the Geneva Motor Show in early March.

The absolute highlight of this new generation is the world debut of the Cayenne S Hybrid with its technically highly sophisticated parallel full hybrid drive and fuel consumption in the New European Driving Cycle of just 8.2 litres/100 kilometres (equal to 34.4 mpg imp), which means CO2 emissions of just 193 g/km. The Cayenne S Hybrid therefore combines the performance of an eight-cylinder with the economy of a six-cylinder running on much less fuel.
