All ARIDO members receive membership benefits upon joining and also obtain automatic membership with Interior Designers of Canada (IDC).

In order to be granted ARIDO membership as a Registered member, applicants must meet the minimum standards of qualification as established by ARIDO.

ARIDO Membership runs from January to December each year, with membership dues established on an annual basis and pro-rated for new members where applicable.

In 2014, ARIDO began an undertaking to set a clear direction for ensuring fair access to all applicants, including a recommendation to move toward the assessment of qualifications based on competencies rather than credentials. With the initial review process now complete, the next phase of the project is scheduled to begin as of May 2015, following a public consultation period.

Troubled Man

I’m sitting down in the air
No more answers on the ground
It’s where I go to think things through
And sift the lies from the truth

All the world is upside down
There’s no recovery in sight
A telephone pole does me good
My only friend’s made out of wood!

Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, what a troubled man
Ooh, with a troubled plan

And if you think I’m a mirror
I don’t know
Gotta work it out alone
I’ve got too much on my mind

My solution has drawn a crowd
Why do they want to bring me down
My hands don’t touch the wire
I better go before they fire

I saw myself on the news
Oh, the video never lies
Like an animal in a cage
Good intentions cause me rage

A song about an actual event.

Arigon saw a story about a man who spent several hours sitting atop a telephone pole.

The story was broadcast on the KTLA news by noted former KTLA newsman Warren Wilson. Arigon remarked,  “Warren described the despondent guy as a ‘troubled man.’ I thought to myself, ‘Duh!’ I put myself in that guy’s shoes….and went crazy for a time. AAAY!”

Woodpecker finch (Camarhynchus pallidus)

Woodpecker finch fact file

Woodpecker finch description

GenusCamarhynchus (1)

Perhaps the most famous of Darwin’s finches, the woodpecker finch has attracted popular and scientific attention for its remarkable usage of tools to assist feeding (2) (3). Like the other Darwin’s finches, this species has evolved a specialised beak form, enabling it to exploit a particular habitat and diet (2). In the case of the woodpecker finch, its beak is long and pointed, allowing it to probe deeply into cavities in search of food (4). Adults and juveniles both have dull, uniform, light greyish-olive plumage (5), with the only distinguishing feature being beak colouration, which changes from pink to black as this species matures (3).

20 g (2)

Woodpecker finch biology

The remarkable feeding behaviour demonstrated by the woodpecker finch involves the use of twigs and cactus spines to push, stab or lever insects and spiders from tree-holes and crevices (3). Displaying extraordinary behavioural adaptability, this species will not only seek out a variety of different feeding implements, but will also manipulate them to make them more manageable, for example by shortening cactus spines with its bill (7). Although the woodpecker finch’s use of tools enables it to access inaccessible sources of food, particularly those with the high energy content such as spider egg sacs, it incurs a significant cost by being a relatively time consuming foraging technique. Therefore, it is a behaviour most commonly exhibited by woodpecker finches in the arid zone during the dry season, when easily accessible food supplies are scarce. In contrast, during the Arid Zone wet season, and throughout the year in the Scalesia Zone, invertebrate prey are generally abundant and easily accessible, hence the woodpecker finch is more reliant on its specialised, pointed bill to probe amongst moss and bark for prey, and rarely uses tools (3).

Darwin’s finches usually breed during the hot, wet season when food is most abundant. Monogamous, lifelong breeding pairs are common, although mate changes and breeding with more than one partner have also been observed. Breeding pairs maintain small territories, in which they construct a small dome-shaped nest with an entrance hole in the side. Generally a clutch of three eggs is laid, which are incubated by the female for about twelve days, and the young brooded for a further two weeks before leaving the nest. The short-eared owl (Asio flammeus), frequently preys on the nestlings and juvenile Darwin’s finches, while adults are occasionally taken by Galapagos hawks (Buteo galapagoensis) and lava herons (Butorides sundevalli) (2).

Woodpecker finch range

The woodpecker finch is endemic to the Galapagos Archipelago, where it occupies the islands of Isabela, Fernandina, Santiago, Pinzón, Santa Cruz, and San Cristóbal (6).

Woodpecker finch habitat

The woodpecker finch is mostly found in the Scalesia Zone, a lush, humid evergreen forest dominated by the daisy tree (Scalesia pedunculata), which is found between elevations of 300 and 700 metres. This species also occurs in the lowland Arid Zone, which is dominated by deciduous trees, shrubs and cacti, but is much rarer in this habitat (3).

Woodpecker finch status

Classified as Least Concern (LC) on the IUCN Red List (1).

IUCN Red List species status – Least Concern

Woodpecker finch threats

Like other bird species endemic to the Galapagos, the woodpecker finch is affected by ongoing habitat destruction, invasive species, and introduced diseases, such as avian pox (8). Nevertheless, despite being uncommon in some parts of its range, the global population of this species is not considered to be small enough, nor undergoing a sufficiently significant decline, to warrant a threatened classification (9).

Woodpecker finch conservation

The majority of the Galapagos archipelago forms part of the Galapagos National Park, a World Heritage Site. A management plan is in place for the islands, and the Ecuadorian government and non-governmental organisations are working to conserve the unique biodiversity of the Galapagos (10). More specifically, scientists at the Charles Darwin Research Station are working to improve our understanding of Darwin's finches to ensure their conservation. This includes monitoring of populations and investigating introduced diseases (8).

World of Warcraft : Some Chuck Norris Facts.

Last month, Blizzard was caught up in something of a backlash, after they promoted the antics of George “Corpsegrinder” Fisher, screening a rather pathetic homophobic rant at Blizzcon, and holding him up as a model player.

Suffice it to say, Blizzard were forced to apologise:

Dear members of the Blizzard community,

I have read your feedback and comments about this year’s BlizzCon, and I have also read the feedback to the apology from Level 90 Elite Tauren Chieftain. I’d like to respond to some of your feedback here.

As president of Blizzard, I take full responsibility for everything that occurs at BlizzCon.

It was shortsighted and insensitive to use the video at all, even in censored form. The language used in the original version, including the slurs and use of sexual orientation as an insult, is not acceptable, period. We realize now that having even an edited version at the show was counter to the standards we try to maintain in our forums and in our games. Doing so was an error in judgment, and we regret it.

The bottom line is we deeply apologize for our mistakes and for hurting or offending anyone. We want you to have fun at our events, and we want everyone to feel welcome. We’re proud to be part of a huge and diverse community, and I am proud that so many aspects of the community are represented within Blizzard itself.

As a leader of Blizzard, and a member of the band, I truly hope you will accept my humblest apology.

– Mike Morhaime President, Blizzard Entertainment

A good apology, all things considered. Blizzard understood that making a group of players feel unwelcome based on their religion, sexuality, or ethnicity is wrong, not to mention bad for the bottom line.

Then this came along:

It was nice of Siegfried and Roy to lend Chuck a tiger.

Chuck Norris, the favourite meme of the late 90’s, and top Barrens-chat topic, starring in the latest World of Warcraft commercial. I’m amazed that he agreed to do it, considering how he usually feels about any book or game that has “false gods” in it. I would guess the difference is that this one happened to offer him a heap of money.

Chuck Norris is an actor, and the subject of an undeserved craze. He also writes a weekly column in which, in 2008, he wrote this:

Lastly, I was appalled when I read the American Family Association report that on Friday, April 25, several thousand schools across the nation will be observing a “Day of Silence,” or DOS, which is a nationwide push to promote the homosexual lifestyle in public schools. (DOS is sponsored by an activist homosexual group – the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network.)

Is encouraging or teaching about homosexuality what our forefathers expected for the public education they founded? Even the most liberal among them opposed it. For example, Thomas Jefferson drafted a bill concerning the criminal laws of Virginia, in which he proposed that the penalty for sexual deviance should be unique corporal punishment. Jefferson’s views were indeed representative of early America.

“Whosoever shall be guilty of rape, polygamy, or sodomy with man or woman shall be punished, if a man, by castration, if a woman, by cutting thro’ the cartilage of her nose a hole of one half inch diameter at the least” (Bill 64, 1779). Can you imagine a statesman proposing such a law today?

While I’m not of course espousing such treatment, I do believe that we should equally and adamantly oppose such aberrant sexual behaviour from being condoned or commemorated in our public schools through textbooks or a so-called “Day of Silence.”

The Day of Silence is “a day of action in which students across the country take some form of a vow of silence to call attention to the silencing effect of anti-LGBT bullying and harassment in schools.”. Young gay people are 4 times as likely to attempt suicide than their peers. That’s why the “It Gets Better” campaign was launched. But Chuck opposes young people being told that it’s OK to be gay. He’s not saying they should be castrated. Oh no, no, no. He’s just saying that being gay is equivalent to being a rapist and that we should oppose gayness with a fervour *equal* to castration and/or nose mutilation.

He’s also a supporter of the insidious and lucrative reparative therapy industry, which claims to be able to pray people straight. Then again, he also thinks that vaccination programmes are a government conspiracy. He’s Michelle Bachmann with kung-fu grip. Feel free to have a rummage through his writings, here.

I understand why Blizzard hired Chuck Norris. He is an internet icon. But he is also an extremist, and any company that is truly “proud to be part of a huge and diverse community” should have stayed the hell away from him.

Mists of Pandaria

This trademark filing has been getting a lot of attention today. T’is said that the code numbers used are ones only used for actual games, rather than books or comics. The implication being that Mists of Pandaria is going to be the next World of Warcraft expansion. At any rate, that’s the assumption that a whole lot of gaming sites are running with.

While Mists of Pandaria sounds intriguing, I find it hard to believe that World of Warcraft is going to base its 4th expansion around anthropomorphic panda. Or as they like to call them, Pandaren.

A shame, because it would be pretty awesome if they did, but it doesn’t feel very serious. Not enough sorrow, death, corruption, and despair for a WoW expansion plotline. While I suppose you *could* put incredibly cute pandafolk into a horrible story, I’m not sure our heartstrings could take it.

My suspicion is that the title has been trademarked just to wind the players up, as Pandaren have featured in several of Blizzard’s April Fools stunts. How many times must they tell us that Pandaren are going to be the next race before people start looking at this stuff a little more cynically? A fun little game for the iPhone released next April, maybe, but the next expansion? No.

The picture below is of some completely unrelated, though equally cute, pandamen in EQ2, showing Maltheas the ways of Tai Chi, in the village of the Hua Mein.

Everquest 2 The Hua'Mein Practise Tai Chi Within Their Village 450x267

Not the Mists of Pandaria, but just as cute!

World of Lordcraft Shut down By Blizzard

Long-time readers may have some recollection of a series of posts I made about World of Lordcraft, an Evony clone that stole as much as is possibly could from World of Warcraft. I’m happy to report that the World of Lordcraft website now redirects to Blizzard’s site.

There have been quite a lot of visits to my Lordcraft posts from Blizzard over the last few months, and I hope they found them useful :) Though, you know, if I saved your lawyers any time and all, I wouldn’t say no if you wanted to slip me a few dollars.

Update: Turns out that while now takes you to Blizzard, Lordcraft simply went and got themselves another domain. Is even the might of Blizzard’s legal department impotent against them?

Gearscore becomes Playerscore.

Gearscore, the World of Warcraft app which decides how good your equipment is and assigns you a score, is loved by some, and despised by many others. It has long been used as a way for raid-leaders to decide who is worthy to join them on their terribly important expeditions, without requiring them to waste any thought on treating the candidates as individual human beings who are more than the sum of their equipment slots.

Today, Gearscore has been taken over by Ten Ton Hammer, and it has become Playerscore.

So now it’s not just your stuff that’s being rated and dismissed. It’s YOU!!!!

So, what is Playerscore?

PlayerScore is a way to get information about WoW characters, and help figure out how competent they might be. Not only does it provide automatic scores and profiles, it allows players to rate each other. You can view PlayerScore info in-game or on the Web, whichever you prefer.

Some of it is gathered and uploaded via our AddOn and Updater. Much of the profile data is pulled from the WoW Armory.

Allowing player-rating will be gamed by the guilds, and place individuals at even more of a disadvantage in the ratings than they already were.

For me, the most ugly aspect of Playerscore is that you have no choice as to whether it will have power over you. We did not ask this unaccountable corporate entity (currently Master Games International Inc) to become the arbiter of who gets to do what in WoW. It does not ask you to opt-in to the system. You can’t even fully opt out. You can choose not to use it yourself, but that won’t stop it from being used against you. I consider this to be the greatest fault with the system. It should allow you to log on to its website, and tell it to stay the hell out of your business.

Only when that is possible will a sufficiently large number of people be able to make a stand against this mindless and dehumanising add-on. Of course, the way that it essentially forces people that want to raid to use it, through peer-pressure, is the key to its success, so I would not expect to see that change any time soon.

We are not the sum of our inventories. We are not numbers. We have context.

In which I Agree (as usual) with Optimus Prime

I’ve been feeling a little low as so many of my friends are brimming with excitement over World of Warcraft’s Cataclysm expansion that is coming out in the next few hours. I’m not particularly jealous of the game itself, but that “Night Before Christmas” feeling is something I haven’t really felt about a game or expansion release in a while. Am I getting old and jaded beyond repair, I wonder?

But then I look at Optimus Prime dressed as Father Christmas, and everything is better again.

WoW: Osgard is on a goat.

World Of Warcraft Grey Ram Mount 550x376

Osgard is on a goat.

Och Aye!
Get yon axes ready it’s about to go down (yeah, shawty)
Everybody in the place hit the blasted deck (yeah, shawty)
Who ye calling shorty?
Pass the alekeg, let’s go.

I’m on a goat (I’m on a goat)
I’m on a goat (I’m on a goat)
Everybody look at me cause I be ridin’ on a goat (ridin on a goat)
I’m on a goat (I’m on a goat)
I’m on a goat
Take a good hard look at me level 20 goat (goat, yeah)

I’m on a goat oh ye Hordies take a look at me yo!
Straight blastin on me goat around Dun Morogh!
Boostin 60 per cent, wind whippin at me coat!
You can’t catch me ye daft trog because I’m on me goat!

Fascinating indeed! You do know that’s actually a ram, yes? A ram being a male sheep, rather than any sort of goat.

Oh, don’t let me interrupt. Pray continue with your fine song!

Och! Nevermind. I not be feelin’ it any more.

I was never able to afford a mount the first time I played WoW. This time, I easily gathered what used to be a rather large amount of money, five gold, by selling copper ore on the auction house. A single stack of 20 copper ore, which if you have some basic knowledge of where to find ore nodes takes just a few minutes to gather. But that’s real money. As a comparison, by level 20, when the mount and riding skill become buyable, Osgard had gathered about 1 gold through normal means.

It’s not unusual for MMO economies to change drastically over the course of their lives. As the level cap rises, even the junkiest of the loot and quest rewards found at high level become worth serious amounts of money, so low level goods becomes valued by time investment, and the potential value of time increases with every expansion. To a level 80, ten minutes is probably worth significantly more than 5 gold. Anything which is sold player to player suffers from massive inflation, while things bought only from NPCs for static prices become comparatively trivial to acquire.

Which is all good for me, as it has allowed a bit of a mount buying spree for my old characters.

World Of Warcraft Green Mechanostrider Mount 550x454

Skultroon is on a Green Mechanostrider.

Where in the Multiverse is Osgard Blatterzarn?

Just a little update regarding what I’m up to at the moment, as I’ve been a bit wretched at posting recently. Quite a number of my MMO-blogging twitter pals have been talking about World of Warcraft’s upcoming Cataclysm expansion in recent weeks. The old world zones are going to suffer great upheaval, with a lot of old content being replaced with new content that possibly even more densely exudes a sense of loss and corruption.

It got me thinking that perhaps it might be a good time for me to pop back and see those old zones again before they change. I did not play WoW for very long, perhaps a month or two, so I don’t have anything like the same emotional attachment towards them as I do for EQ2’s older areas. Even so, I thought I would go on one last pilgrimage through them.

This decision was made a lot easier with the knowledge that (once I managed to figure out my old login details, and convert my account to the newfangled Battlenet variety) I had some free time waiting for me, including a ten day upgrade to Burning Legion. In the four years since I last played I had completely forgotten how to play any of my characters, so I deleted and recreated my old Dwarven Hunter, Osgard, last seen being a Rogue/Paladin in DDO, and before that, an Engineer in Warhammer Online. Wherever there is evil to be vanquished, and gadgets to be played with, you’ll find Osgard!

I’m always fond of pet classes. Possibly because I’m lazy, and would much rather have someone else do all that strenuous fighting for me. That someone, for Osgard, is Bjarn; a rare polar bear that can be found in the Tundrid Hills of Dun Morogh, if you can get to him before someone else tames or kills him. He’s functionally identical to every other bear, and I suspect every Dwarven Hunter these days knows about him and tames him, but he was my boon companion the first time I played, so it would have seemed ungrateful to head over to the Draenei lands and tame a giant moth.

Osgard and Bjarn visit Westfall.

I’m about halfway through my ten free days. I’ll be surprised if I resubscribe, but I may do for the lead up to Cataclysm, as it should be rather fascinating to see how well the game and its community deal with such massive change. If nothing else it has given me a few ideas for posts, and my screenshot folder is full to bursting!

The Image Collections and Fieldwork Archives (ICFA) is pleased to announce the release of a new online exhibition, Artamonoff: Picturing Byzantine Istanbul, 1930-1947:

artamonoff_picturingbyz_screenshotThe online exhibit is a recreation of the physical exhibit that was presented at the Koç University Research Center for Anatolian Civilizations (RCAC) in Istanbul from June 25 to November 10, 2013, within the scope of the Third International Sevgi Gönül Byzantine Studies Symposium. The 2013 exhibition was co-curated by Günder Varinlioğlu, ICFA’s former Byzantine Assistant Curator, and Alyssa DesRochers, former ICFA intern. This new online exhibit presents the same selection of photographs from the Nicholas V. Artamonoff Collection that appeared in the Istanbul exhibition, as well as images from the Smithsonian Institution’s Freer Gallery of Art and Arthur M. Sackler Gallery Archives and Robert College in Istanbul. It also includes an interactive timeline that places Artamonoff’s photography in the context of contemporaneous archaeological investigations at Byzantine sites throughout Istanbul.

Together, these images present a rapidly changing city as seen through Artamonoff’s camera lens:

Nicholas V. Artamonoff (1908-1989) left behind a photographic puzzle of over 1,000 images. He was a student and engineer, who, while studying and living at Robert College in Istanbul, gained an appreciation for the city’s history and culture. With his Rollei camera, he captured the Byzantine remains, entering the nooks and crannies of the fortifications and cisterns. He strolled through the city in the footsteps of architectural historians and archaeologists who explored and uncovered Byzantine Istanbul. His interests were broad: from imposing churches to the smallest details of architectural sculpture, from bustling marketplaces to the diligent work of lone craftsmen. This abundance of subjects makes the Nicholas V. Artamonoff Collection rich and engaging, providing a glimpse into the diverse urban environment in which he lived, and into the versatile photographer he was.

The online exhibit was built in Omeka by Alyssa DesRochers, Assistant Curator of the exhibition and former ICFA intern, and Michael Sohn, Web & Graphic Designer at Dumbarton Oaks.

Why We Gather

Last fall on the morning after Thanksgiving, I took my coffee and journal to the big room. When our house was still a church, this room was the chapel, but for the last two decades it’s been our living room and gathering space. As I walked to my chair, I surveyed the aftermath of our dinner for twenty-seven the day before: the folding tables to be put away, the dishes yet to wash, the dirty tablecloths headed for the laundry, and the table decor of tiny white pumpkins, baby apples and pears, nuts, candles, and English laurel leaves, so carefully arranged on Wednesday and scattered and mussed by Thursday night. The kitchen was fairly clean as everyone had pitched in to help the night before. But the big room is always the last frontier. Oddly enough, I like rising to a quiet house the next morning and seeing some of the feasting evidence still in place. It helps me remember that something significant and life-giving took place in the room just hours before.

That morning as I sipped my coffee I wrote in my journal: I think everyone had a good time yesterday and that makes me happy. I’m compelled to make these gatherings possible without even fully understanding why. It seems we have a human need to observe the traditions of our culture and families, to be included somewhere, to belong. In all the years we’ve been gathering in this house, we’ve had times of coming together with hearts full of sadness and ache for those missing from the table. Death, divorce, and painful relational tensions and mysteries have left their mark. But in the returning faces and the changing faces we’ve also seen redemption. And more often, we’ve enjoyed a simple happiness cultivated through being together around food, beauty, family, and friendship. I like that our children know they can invite those who wouldn’t otherwise have a place to be. And I like that our grandchildren are beginning to collect memories of family, friends, and often strangers, gathered in a large circle of prayer, followed by feasting and talking, with pie and a game of Guesstures after dinner or an egg hunt after the Easter meal. This memory-making is important. I hope that as Chuck and I get older and the work of hosting becomes more difficult, knowing why it matters will help us continue on.

As I age, I understand the power of gathering more clearly. There’s an undercurrent of good being created through the hugs of greeting, the clink of dishes, and the hum of conversation over a meal. I know there are mysteries tied up in these things. But the knowledge has come slowly, one gathering at a time, beginning with our first holiday in a new city.

As Thanksgiving approached in 1989, I was homesick for the loved ones we’d left behind in our move from California to Tennessee that summer. When Chuck, Molly, Sam, and I headed toward Nashville in July, we said goodbye to all that was known and familiar, and by November, I was still in transition.

With Thanksgiving in the air, I felt displaced and in need of comfort. Instead of going to our mother or aunt’s where a feast had always been so faithfully provided for us, we were on our own to figure things out. In California we’d hosted one Easter gathering and a casual Christmas dinner, but we usually made the fifty-mile drive from Sacramento to Yuba City where our families lived. I typically showed up with a side dish or a bag of rolls and stayed on the sidelines while the older women and my father-in-law did all the work. I’d never even helped with a turkey on Thanksgiving, much less cooked one myself.

But moving to Nashville changed all of that. Out of necessity I stepped into the role of  “the woman in charge of a holiday.” After multiple calls to my older sister for coaching, I baked some raggedy pies, wrestled the turkey and got it safely in the oven, mashed the potatoes, and carefully followed the steps in a cookbook to make the gravy. We invited a few friends who also brought food, and with their help, successfully pulled off our first holiday in a new city. According to my journal entry on November 26th: We had a blazing fire, played Junior Trivial Pursuit with all the kids, and the grown-ups watched Sherlock Holmes until 1:00 in the morning.

The very next month my best friend Maggie pulled in to town with her family and settled in a neighborhood not far from ours. When I left California, Maggie and I had no idea when we’d ever see each other again, much less live in the same city. We were ecstatic with our good fortune, and beginning with that first Christmas, whenever there was a reason to gather, we did it together. We shared the cooking, invited other California friends who were slowly trickling into Music City along with new folks we were meeting, and began to create for ourselves a new kind of gathering. Everyone brought food, new faces showed up every time, and the loneliness of a new city began to fade.

After a few years in Nashville, we moved our family into the Art House and our gatherings multiplied. Due to its size and personality, the old church was good not only for the community gatherings it was known for, but once we moved in and began renovations, it became the place our family and friends landed most often when it was time to celebrate. The growing experience and pleasure of ceasing routines with no agenda other than the enjoyment of food and relationship hooked me. As time passed, through Cinco de Mayo get-togethers on Maggie’s porch, 4th of July barbeques at my sister-in-law’s, and Sunday night dinners when our kids were leaving the nest, I learned the sweet anticipation and comfort of simply being together.

Now, after so many years in Nashville, my journals and photograph albums are full of the stories of these gatherings. I’ve come to see them as part of the significant work of my life. I have no guarantee they will ultimately have the effect I want them to. But what I suspect, and what I hope, is that the scents, flavors, often-used recipes, family chitchat, friends catching up, and the familiar stamp of the way things are done will seep in, helping to create a family identity and leave a heritage of belonging.

A few weekends ago in April, we celebrated my youngest granddaughter Brinsley’s first birthday with a small party at our house. I baked a Hot Milk Cake for the occasion — a vanilla cake made with milk brought just to the boiling point. It’s a recipe that was handed down by my mother and enjoyed regular rotation in my childhood. My copy is written on the back of a pink receipt for a money order purchased at Feather River State Bank in Yuba City, California, on October 16, 1978. Whenever I make this cake, the date reminds me that I called my mom for the recipe in preparation for Molly’s first birthday. I can see myself, baby on one hip and the phone cradled between my shoulder and ear, scribbling her words down on the nearest piece of paper I could find.

In those days Chuck and I were not doing so well. Our young marriage was hanging by a thread and we lived in a constant state of confusion. However, with our daughter’s birthday on the horizon, we instinctively knew what to do — make a cake and invite the relatives.

On my birthdays growing up, both sets of grandparents were always invited over for cake and ice cream. I have a photograph from my sixth birthday at the house my mom, sister, and I moved in to after my parents’ divorce. I can tell from the ironed tablecloth, the nice dishes filled with scoops of strawberry ice cream, and my cake, that my mom went to some trouble to assure that my birthday would not be overlooked in the midst of her struggles. So when my own daughter’s birthday came along inside the roller coaster of our early marriage, I followed the pattern I knew. We gathered with our collective families and celebrated our little girl’s first year of life, creating a small anchor of goodness in the midst of a turbulent time.

Without the photographs and stories we’ll pass on to our newest granddaughter, Brinsley, she would never remember her first birthday or know the history of the cake recipe I used. She wouldn’t know who came to her party, that her grandpa decorated her high chair with pink streamers, or that her other grandma traveled from Kentucky to be there. But I hope the pictures and stories passed down will help her to know she was always adored, that she belongs in the center of a family who love each other imperfectly but with effort, and that cakes and shared meals are one of the ways we show our love.

More than anything, I want to leave my family with a heritage of belonging, of knowing and being known. I want the power of place, food, people, and God-blessed bonding to nurture our relationships and create memories that travel across time.

In her autobiography, The Long Loneliness, Dorothy Day writes, “We cannot love God unless we love each other, and to love we must know each other. We know Him in the breaking of bread, and we know each other in the breaking of bread. Heaven is a banquet and life is a banquet too, even with a crust, where there is companionship.” This is why we gather. This is how we love.

Andi- this is so beautiful. Your attention to the beauty of the gather has inspired me since the first time we met.

I love the idea of meal-sharing as redemptive ritual that I see at work in your piece, of returning to those ways of gathering and nurturing in the midst of chaos or confusion. What a good part of your legacy to receive and to impart. There's something very sacred there. Thanks for sharing.

So wonderful! We logged countless hours in prep and clean up for Thanksgiving week at AHN but are still left with such full hearts (and bellies). And I googled a recipe for gravy for the leftovers tonight:). Not bad! Love these beautiful words friend.

Is Your Air Conditioner Noisy?

By JC Tolentino Subscribe to RSS | June 10th 2012 | Views:

The most popular type of air conditioning, other than central air, is a window air conditioner. If your home is not equipped with central air conditioning throughout the house, you can use a window air conditioner to cool the house. Most people like using window air units over floor models because they do not need to be moved from room to room and they don't take up space in the room.

One thing about window air conditioners is that they are noisy. The noise level depends on the type and size of the unit. Noise levels are usually given in decibel ratings. The higher the decibel the louder the unit will be. For every 10 decibel increase the sound pressure increases by a factor of 10. For example 50 decibels is 10 times louder than 40 decibels and is 100 times louder than 30 decibels.

There are many things that cause noise in air conditioning units. Some cannot be helped. There is a compressor and fan in each unit which causes most noise. Other causes could be maintenance issues such as worn bearings, dirty or rusty fan blades and basic wear and tear. Besides basic wear and tear, your unit could be noisy because it is vibrating because it is not installed correctly.

A unit should not be unbearably noisy. If yours is, you should have it looked at by an authorized service professional. There are some things that you can check on for yourself. To stop some vibrating, try tightening the screws holding the front panel onto the unit.

You might have bent fan blades which would be causing your unit to make noise. It shouldn't be too difficult to bend the blades back into place. Other place where you may be getting some vibration noise is between the frame and the sash or the glass and the frame. Check these out before you call in a service professional.

You can find a wide range of single room air conditioners, both in style and price. You should be able to find a window air conditioner for as little as $150 or as much as several hundred. The more features it has, like double fans or a remote control will increase the price.

Usually the more expensive the unit, the more energy efficient it is. Air conditioner units can use a lot of electricity. If you run the unit often, your electricity bill will be higher. Therefore, if you get an energy efficient unit, you should save in electric costs. The more efficient a unit is, the less energy it takes to cool your home. Therefore, you will save on your energy costs.

Research what type of unit will do the job for you and your home. Make sure you check the amps for the unit you purchase. You don't want to overload your electrical system.

News: Jonah Hooper retires from the Atlanta Ballet after 17 seasons

Images by Charlie McCullers, courtesy Atlanta Ballet.

After 17 seasons with the Atlanta Ballet, dancer Jonah Hooper has announced his retirement. Raised in the Blue Ridge Mountains, Hooper first joined the Atlanta Ballet after studying under Artistic Director Emeritus Robert Barnett at the Atlanta Ballet School. Over his 17 seasons with the company he has starred in a wide variety of productions, including John McFall and Lauri Stallings’ The Great Gatsby, Michael Pink’s productions of The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Dracula and Romeo & Juliet, Stanton Welch’s Madame Butterfly and Jorden Morris’ Moulin Rouge, among others.

When asked about his post-retirement plans in an interview with Common Creativ earlier this month, Hooper stated his intention to stay connected to the ballet through teaching and choreography while transitioning into a professional career and working on his photography. “Human architecture and kinetic relationships are fascinating,” stated Hooper. “Photography gives you a glimpse of the moments in between movement.”

Smaller items can be packaged and ship through UPS or FedEx Ground.

Larger, heavier items need to ship through a freight company and will deliver by a large tractor trailer. They usually park on the street and offer curb deliveries only. Normally they have a lift gate to drop the order to the ground and move it to the side.

Business Deliveries - To be classed as a business you need to keep hours and be located in a business district. They will not call for an appointment so someone needs to be there during business hours to sign for it or there will be redelivery fees.

Residential - The trucks deliver right to your home. The shipper will call you to give you a window of time when the truck will arrive. An adult needs to be home to inspect and sign for the shipment. If for some reason you are not there redelivery fees will apply.

Canadian Customers: On Ground orders, you may be liable for charges outside of your transaction for taxes and duties in crossing your items over to Canada.

On Freight orders, please arrange with a local Canadian broker before calling us to set up shipment.

Robert Walker Macbeth

 (1848 - 1910)
Robert Walker Macbeth was active/lived in United Kingdom, Scotland.  Robert Macbeth is known for rural landscape, genre painting.

Robert Walker Macbeth

Biography from the Archives of askART

Robert Walker Macbeth (30 September 1848, Glasgow - 1 November 1910, Golders Green, London)

He was a Scottish painter, etcher and watercolorists, specializing in pastoral landscape and the rustic genre.  His father was the portrait painter Norman Macbeth and his niece Ann Macbeth.

Macbeth studied in London, producing realistic everyday scenes and working for The Graphic magazine.  He painted in the Lincolnshire and Somerset countryside, in works influenced by those of George Hemming Mason and Frederick Walker.  His The Cast Shoe was bought by the Chantrey Bequest in 1890, and is now at Tate Britain.

From 1871 Macbeth exhibited at the Royal Academy, Royal Society of Portrait Painters, Grosvenor Gallery, New Gallery and the Fine Art Society in London.  There were also exhibitions in the regions at the Royal Birmingham Society of Artists in Birmingham, the Royal Scottish Academy in Edinburgh, the Royal Glasgow Institute of the Fine Arts, the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool and Manchester City Art Gallery.

In the same year (1871) Macbeth was made an associate of the Royal Watercolor Society (RWS) becoming a full member in 1901.  He became a member of the Royal Society of Painter-Etchers and Engravers (RE) in 1880, and an honorary member in 1909.  In 1882 he was elected a member of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI) and in 1883 was elected to be a member of the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI).  In 1883 he was elected an associate of the Royal Academy (RA), becoming a full member in 1903.

He married Lydia Esther Bates on 9 August 1887 with whom he had a daughter, Phillis Macbeth, better known as the actress Lydia Bilbrook.  However, it has been suggested that she was actually the illegitimate daughter of the actor Herbert Beerbohm Tree.[1]

Mumbai Indians (MI) really good team in DLF IPL 2012 and his captain so well in game and handle to match last game in IPL 5 Harbhajan Singh ensured Mumbai Indians did not falter after Pollard’s departure and left Royals with a mountain to climb.

Sachin Tendulkar on Saturday received throw downs from Mumbai Indians’ video analyst, raising hopes of returning to action ahead of the team’s Indian Premier League match against Delhi Daredevils on April 16. Tendulkar receiving throw downs from Dhananjay for about 45 minutes, was a welcome news for MI, missing the senior batsman’s presence at the top of the batting order. This after Kieron Pollard had muscled his way to his highest IPL score and propelled Mumbai Indians to the highest total of this IPL season so far.

Team mentor and bowling coach Shaun Pollock had indicated that the cricketer would be available to play in the game against the Daredevils, a day before MI’s previous match against Rajasthan Royals on April 11. The equation came down to 64 needed off 36. Harbhajan had saved two overs of Malinga for the death. He was forced to bring him on slightly earlier, but Malinga delivered immediately, Shah backing away too far outside leg to a yorker, which was right on off stump.

Walkthroughs Adventure Game Reviews Computer Games for Kids

The Non-Boring Physicus Walkthrough

Physicus is one of the most linear games I ever played. There are no optional actions that can be taken (unless you count puzzles that aren't technically necessary to solve because it's possible to guess their solutions through trial and error; this did happen to me once when I played). Unlike the Myst series that inspired it, there are no interesting details to be noticed. There certainly aren't multiple ways to solve any of the puzzles, and there's not much of a plot. There's no chance at all, basically, of your missing anything in this game. If you finish it, you'll have seen everything. So Physicus is not a game in need of my "travel guide" series of low-spoiler walkthroughs (which focus mostly on broadening players' enjoyment of games by pointing them towards interesting things they might not have thought of doing themselves).

Sponsored Links

But there's another kind of walkthrough that might be of great use to you, especially if you're playing with your kids. Physicus is so linear that, with only two minor exceptions, you must solve all the puzzles in the game in the exact same order. If you don't solve the puzzle in area A, you will be unable to solve any of the puzzles in areas B, C, D, or E. This can be very frustrating as you repeatedly travel back and forth between all five puzzles trying to figure out which is the one you're supposed to solve next and which are the four that will be unsolveable till a later point in time! There are also a few useless locations and red herrings, though not very many compared to other graphic adventure games.

Anyway, it's my opinion that games shouldn't waste their players' limited time doing things like walking back and forth over and over again, performing useless tasks, trying to read the game designer's mind and guess which puzzle to attempt next, and waiting for something to happen. In the final count we all play games for escapism, not realism; I can wait in line at my own grocery store, and have less than no desire to simulate the experience in a game. So here's my Non-Boring Guide to Physicus, in which I tell you exactly where all the interesting parts of this game are and in which order to do them to maintain the highest fun-to-tedium ratio. There are no puzzle spoilers in this walkthrough. I tell you where the puzzles are and whether it's possible to solve them yet, but not how to go about it. If you're looking for the solution to a particular Physicus puzzle, I recommend the excellent UHS site--you can only see one hint at a time there, so you can get the answer to one puzzle without ruining all the others for yourself. My walkthrough, bare-boned by design, is meant to help lead you past those sticking points that are the fault of the interface, bad writing in the game, or just your own uncertainty about what you're supposed to be doing next. Feel free to print it out and use it to help lend some added direction to your travels through Physicus. If you want even fewer spoilers--you're considering whether or not to buy the game, for example, and just want to know whether there's anything you're going to hate in it--please try my Physicus Review page to find all the pertinent information in one convenient spoiler-free package.

The Non-Boring Physicus Walkthrough

General Gameplay Tips: Don't worry about making a mistake or using any machine incorrectly. All puzzles in this game can be repeated as many times as you like until you get the right answer, even those that may seem at first blush to have permanent effects. Every time an object cannot be picked back up, it means you will never need it again. There is no way to lose this game (besides quitting). In fact, you needn't even bother with multiple savegames: one backup savegame to guard against technical difficulties or something is plenty. You can't paint yourself into any corners, and if you don't follow this walkthrough exactly, the worst that will ever happen to you is you will waste some time.

1) Watch the intro. It doesn't make a heck of a lot of sense, to be honest with you, and it doesn't matter much. All you need to take away is "planet in danger, must activate science-fiction machine to save planet!" The plot will not affect the course of the game more than this; there is nothing you need to remember.

2) Go into the first house you see. You won't be able to go anywhere else till you're done in here anyway. There are no puzzles, but you need to pick up the laptop (which incidentally doubles as a very nice interactive study aid for anyone taking a physics or general science class) and listen to a message on the recorder. Nothing else in this room can be activated (the odd TV-looking device, for instance, is just decorative).

3) Go down the path leading away from the house. It will take a few clicks, but you'll reach a pair of houses (just before going under a stone arch, to your left). There's a butterfly in this area that you can touch. This doesn't affect anything and I suppose it must be meant as a tip of the hat to Riven, though I'm left scratching my head over why butterflies are flitting about in a climate that is now too hot for human habitation. No matter really. The first building has a big machine in it and an upstairs level with a furnace. You can get this machine working right now using nothing but your physics know-how and your common sense, but you won't be able to use it to make anything until later (the little red line that flickers over the top part of the furnace shows you that there's an object or objects you're going to need to place there before anything else can happen; this is true throughout the game). There is also one object in this building that you can put into your inventory to use later.

4) In the second house just nearby, there is an important clue and two objects you can put in your inventory, but no puzzles to solve. You can open and close the trash can, but it doesn't affect anything and there's nothing inside. The pot left boiling on the stove is purely decorative (in real life, of course, the water would have long since boiled off, unless the evacuation happened within the past few hours.)

5) Passing through the stone arch and continuing on the path, you will pass two areas where you cannot do anything yet: a control panel by a landing pad, and a locked house. Examine both for clues (don't neglect to go behind the house), but you won't be able to solve anything yet. There's also a wooden pathway between the control panel and the house that you can't travel on yet. If you look carefully you'll see that this is because the drawbridge is up. You can't pass that way until you lower the drawbridge. There is only one possible way you can proceed from here, and that's across the rope bridge.

6) The sun face on the bridge pops open, but what is inside is not a puzzle. It is actually a rather obtuse clue to a much later puzzle. You don't need to do anything with it. Just cross the bridge to the strange structure on the other side (it appears to be a broken ship; tribute to Myst, perhaps?)

7) On the door to this shiplike structure is the first solveable puzzle of the game. Use a clue you've already found, an object you've already found, and your physics knowledge to solve it and get the door to open.

8) Inside, there are two levels to explore. You will be able to explore both at this time, but you will need to go upstairs first because the downstairs is too dark to explore (this happens several times in this game, if you can't do anything in a darkened room, always find a light source). There are three objects for you to put into your inventory on the two levels combined. You won't be able to focus the telescope well enough to see through it until later in the game.

9) Now you can return to the control panel and solve the puzzle there, using a new item and new information you'll have found. This will give you access to the windmill area.

10) In the windmill area there are two houses. The first is locked and you need a key. The second contains one of the three generators you need to win the game, but you can't turn it on yet. There's also a magnetically clamped door leading to the next important area, but it is powered by the generator, which you can't turn on yet. Basically, your objective now is to get that door open, and you'll need to go back and forth between the two houses up here and the locked house down below a few times and solve a few puzzles in order to make that happen (including using one of the machines you left for later in one of the other locations). Don't worry about the settings on the generator at this point (the colors, shapes, how many coils you use for the electromagnet, or whether the millstone is spinning or not). None of that is important till the endgame. All you can do at this time is get the door open.

11) Once you follow the path down from the door you will find yourself in a new area, a deserted town. You can now open the drawbridge, which saves you a lot of travel time from now on (though it is not strictly necessary to do this). This is the most frustrating part of the game, because there are dozens of new locations you can enter from here, but you must do them in the proper order and if you enter a location at the wrong time, it will be useless and just waste your time. At first, you can cruise the town to get your bearings, but will be unable to do anything except collect two objects (one from the alley, one from the lensmaker's shop) until you go through the door with the big red button and use the machine on the other side.

12) Then you can solve a puzzle in the well.

13) Then you can use an object to get into the police station.

14) Then you can read two clues in the police station's office, pick up a useful item, and solve a puzzle to learn a code in the darkroom. (The locked drawer on the desk and broken drawer on the desk are useless; you will never be able to do anything with them. There's an easter egg in the police station that will show you mug shots of the programmers if you click on the black dot on the spine of one of the police files.) A partial spoiler for the frustrated: it is the PICTURE doodled on the case file that you are trying to match to something in your laptop, not the "code" at the bottom of the page, which is just a red herring intended to throw you off and annoy you.

15) Now you can enter the house with the locked door on the alley, pick up a useful item in there, and solve a puzzle inside the house to acquire another item. (The cabinet door that partially opens to reveal an odd-looking contraption is useless, unfortunately; you cannot examine it more closely or manipulate it.) There is a note on the desk with a little reference to the plot, the only one in the game as far as I can tell.

16) Now you can go back to use one of your new items on one of the machines you weren't able to do anything with earlier. This will give you the last clue you need to open the code-locked gate on the other side of the town.

17) Once you open that gate you will reach a new area. There is a second generator there, but if you try pulling the lever you'll see that it is broken. You'll be able to turn it on later--like the other two generators, its settings are not important till the endgame. There is a paper with a clue on it hidden in this side of town. All the houses are locked but one. In fact, frustratingly, two of these houses will stay locked throughout the game (there is no key, nor any other way into them; they are just distractions). A third house can't even be approached and you can't click on the door, it's purely decorative.

18) So go into the one house which is unlocked, and solve the puzzle there. Be careful with that one--you can tell it's solved properly when the sun design has turned but the marbles are still in position. If the sun design didn't turn, the marbles aren't in the right place. If it turned but you pressed the button and the marbles rolled back to you, you'll have to do it again. When it's done properly, one of the other houses will unlock.

19) Go into the newly unlocked house to find an item you can pick up.

20) Now you can go back to an old area and solve a puzzle you weren't able to before and get another item.

21) Now you can finally solve the puzzle in the submarine-looking device by the beach and turn that generator on. (Like the other two generators, its settings are not important till the endgame.) You can also get a new item here, which you can use to...

22) ...turn on the generator by the water-wheel. All right! Now all three are turned on.

23) Go up to the observatory. (You should have the passcode already... don't get flustered by the comma, this is a German game and commas are used the way decimal points are in English, so the first few digits of pi, for example, would be written 3,14159 in German.) Walking around the observatory room, you can see a map with some electronic notations on it pinned to the wall. That will give you the rest of the information you need to solve the endgame puzzle. Look at the console, then look up to see the machine you are going to activate. Now you have to solve the equation and go back to the three working generators and set each of them to the proper voltage. (Which colors you assign to each generator is actually irrelevant as long as you are consistent about it, the colors on the wall map are just a frustrating red herring.)

24) And now you've won the game! Congratulations. The planet-saving projectile launcher is rather implausible and the endgame movie is kind of weird (the people are returning home on sailing ships? I thought they had to evacuate the entire planet?) But nonetheless, this has been an interesting game and well worth the modest investment of time it takes to play. If you enjoyed this game and are looking for more of the same, you can try its sequel, Chemicus.
