Porcelain is the highest quality and type of ceramics that is very strong and durable and should be treated with care, as it can break if dropped or knocked against a hard surface.
Please note that because porcelain is an organic clay (and in some cases, recycled), small imperfections might occur, i.e. tiny black dots within the porcelain body. However, this does not reduce by any way the high quality of Parian Porcelain.
We use a non-toxic glaze for extra care. This glaze may have a natural crackled effect.

The Daily Mail: 6 things you must do in Croatia

The Daily Mail has recently compiled a list of six things you must not miss while visiting Croatia.

Croatia is poised to become one of the most popular short-haul destinations of the year. Lonely Planet tagged its coastal region of Istria as one of its top visits for 2011, and that’s only one of many stops in this inexpensive, outside-the-eurozone country.

Here’s our list of things to do and see, including traditional toy-making, a sea and sun-powered music and light show, ancient Greek fields, Roman marvels and lighthouse stays on remote islands. Not to mention 1,000 miles of rocky coves and pine-fringed beaches.

1 Within these walls

One US website recently named Dubrovnik the third most romantic place in the world, after Buenos Aires and Bora Bora, but ahead of Paris and Venice. This handsome ‘city of stone and light’, between the Adriatic and the Dinaric Alps, was pounded during the Balkan war of the Nineties.

Restorers pieced it together almost to the state of its glory days: the newer orange terracotta tiles are the only real clue as to where the bombs fell. The well preserved, mile-long 14th Century ramparts are among the finest in Europe. The pedestrian-only old town within is full of medieval, renaissance and baroque treasures, as well as designer shops, restaurants and galleries. Read More.

Federal Police Capture Leader of Beltrán Leyva Cartel

2/8/16 (written by elefavour) – On Saturday, January 30, 2016, Mexican Army officials and Federal Police captured the current leader of the Beltrán Leyva Cartel in his home in northwest Mexico. According to Fox News, The Director of National Security Commission, Renato Sales, reported that Francisco Javier Hernández García was arrested in the state of Sinaloa, in the town of Guasave. Additionally, Francisco Javier Martínez Coronado, a suspected associate leader of Beltrán Leyva was also arrested. CNN Expansion reports that Hernández García was 47 years old and served as an escort to the Beltrán Leyva brothers in the 1990s.

According to Octavio Rodríguez in “De Casus Belli: Violencia y Delincuencia Organizada en México,” the Cártel de los Beltrán Leyva (CBL) was founded in 2008 by Beltrán Leyva brothers Arturo (“El Barbas”), Carlos, Alfredo, and Héctor as a splinter of Mexico’s most powerful drug trafficking organization, the Sinaloa Cartel. The cartel works primarily within the cocaine, heroin, and marijuana industries. In May 2008, CBL allegedly ordered the assassination of Edgar Guzmán López, the son of the infamous El Chapo Guzmán. This attack increased tension between the organizations—especially in Pacific coastal regions and central Mexico.

The cartel’s primary founder, Arturo Beltrán Leyva, was killed in a shootout with Marines at his luxury condominium in Cuernavaca, Morelos on December 16, 2009, reports Alianza. As a result, CBL then suffered from internal splintering. One of the factions was lead by Arturo’s brother, Héctor Beltrán Leyva, until his arrest in October of 2014 (Rodríguez Ferreira). Following Héctor’s arrest, Francisco Javier Hernández García allegedly took command of the Beltrán Leyva Cartel until his arrest Saturday.

Prior to Javier Hernández García’s arrest, Beltrán Leyva also had a significant presence in the media in 2014.  The cartel’s potential is exemplified through the potential connection of the cartel to the 43 students that went missing in Guerrero in September, 2014, according to CNN Expansion. Allegedly, Los Guerreros Unidos (Warriors United), is an affiliate of Beltrán Leyva responsible for the kidknappings.

During a press conference with Renato Sales, El Milenio reports Hernández García was investigated by the Attorney General of Mexico (Procuraduría General de la República) starting in 2005. This investigation began after the disappearance of journalist Alfredo Jiménez Mota in April of 2005. Additionally, El Milenio reports agencies such as the United States Department of Treasury notate a re-establishment period for the cartel and its expansion in the Sinaloa region. Beltrán Leyva has shifted loyalties from Sinaloa to Los Zetas and is forging strong alliances (Rodríguez Ferreira). Regardless, Fox News notes that the arrest of Hernández García marks the 99th capture of a list of the 122 Most Wanted Criminals in Mexico, and his arrest signals a triumph for the federal forces in Mexico and a possible weakening of the Beltrán Leyva Cartel.

Despite the recent loss of leadership, Beltrán Leyva is reconstructing itself and benefiting from the strength of Los Zetas. In the annual publication, “Drug Violence in Mexico: Data and Analysis Through 2014,” Justice in Mexico reported that as Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto continues the efforts of previous administrations to prioritize arrests of major organized crime leaders, these arrests have not necessarily yielded increased violence. While the destruction of cartel leadership typically results in infighting, splintering, and conflict with rival organizations, the recent trend is that the arrests have not resulted in increased violence. Justice in Mexico speculates that this is in part due to the decreased size of drug trafficking organizations, reduced competition over production, and the potential success of policy makers and the government to advocate for a ceasefire. Additionally, Justice in Mexico reports that Sinaloa, the region where Beltrán Levya is headquartered, experienced a significant 18.4% decrease in total homicides from 2013 to 2014. However, Sinaloa remains a region with very high overall amounts of homicides related to organized crime (747 in 2014). According to El Milenio, the Beltrán Leyva Cartel is experiencing reduced size, reduced competition, and will weaken with the recent loss in leadership.

authentic bean dip

Richard and I love Mexican food.  We especially love Mexican restaurants that offer complimentary bean dip.  I typically eat so many chips and bean dip that I am satisfied and pack up my entree in a box and save it for lunch the next day.  I decided I want to make authentic Mexican bean dip.  (Turns out in Mexico they prefer black beans but Americans prefer pinto.)  In any case, I’ve always felt that chips and dip would make a fine meal on their own.  So we did that for dinner one night while Richard was away.  Not that he would object.  I cooked some asparagus for good measure and we ate on the floor because that meant fewer dishes.  One big bowl of bean dip, one bag of chips, and one plate of green veggie.
This picture isn’t very appetizing.  But don’t be deceived, they were delicious.  And they are loaded with fiber and protein. And a bag of pinto beans is $0.74 to boot! I’ll put a recipe below for any interested parties. (I also melted cheese on top.)  The boys loved it.  The asparagus, not so much.

1. Soak the bag of pinto beans in water overnight.
2.  The next day cook them by simmering them in the water for about an hour, hour and a half.
3.  Separate the water and beans and save both.
4.  In a skillet heat 4 Tbls. vegetable oil.  (The recipe I used called for lard, a tastier but less healthy option. I had no lard lying around so I used vegetable oil.  The second time I did this I used bacon fat I had saved.  Yum.)
5.  Add 1/2 onion chopped and 3 cloves of minced garlic to the oil/lard/fat.
6.  Saute until the onions are clear, about 5-10 minutes.
7.  Add the beans one spoonful at a time, mashing them between spoonfuls.  I used a potato masher. It’s important to do it a spoonful at a time so they “fry” in the oil.  (Hence the term “re-fried”.) Keep adding beans until they are all in the skillet.
8.  Add the left over water the beans were cooked in if you have it, or just add water until they reach your desired consistancy.  They will set up as they cool so make them a little creamier than you ultimately want.
9.  Add salt.  The beans need a lot of salt unless you are eating them with very salty chips, then you can lay off the salt.
We only ate about half our beans at the first sitting, the rest I put in the freezer.  I saved those for Richard and he thought they were great after thawing.

Juva Life Commences Industrial Scale Cannabis Cultivation at Stockton Facility

Propagated Cannabis seedlings planted to accelerate first harvest.

VANCOUVER, BC, — (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) February 23, 2021 – Juva Life Inc. (CSE: JUVA, OTCQB: JUVAF, FRANKFURT: 4VV) (“Juva” or the “Company”) a California based life sciences company focused on the research, development and commercialization of Cannabis products is extremely pleased to announce the commencement of commercial cannabis cultivation at its Stockton, California facility.

Subsequent to state licensing approval in January, the Juva cultivation team quickly concluded preparatory efforts for plant delivery this week. After 30 months of development effort, Juva Life has entered a vitally important phase of its business development with this week’s planting program now underway within the dedicated flowering rooms at its 30,000 sq. ft. facility.

In a move to accelerate the first two harvests, VP of Horticulture, Thomas Leschak, and his select team of cultivation experts have commenced planting using propagated cannabis clones provided by a 3rd party. Future clones will be developed from a large collection of proprietary genetic seed stock privately developed over the past decade.

Harvested material will be dried within the facility utilizing specially designed, built, and monitored drying rooms. Upon reaching optimal moisture levels, the material will be moved to the dedicated trim area for processing and grading before moving to final curing. The cultivation team anticipates each room to deliver a full harvest five times per year. The process began this week with the first of five flowering rooms fully planted. Once all five rooms are functional, operational scheduling calls for a harvest every twelve days with an anticipated combined annual output of 6,000 pounds of high-quality cannabis flower.

Juva Life placed significant orders of growing medium, nutrients and fertilizers several months ago to ensure a stockpile was on hand and available for immediate use. Juva has also installed advanced onsite nutrient analysis and PH monitoring systems. Extensive monitoring and adaptive controls have been integrated to track feeding schedules based on temperatures, humidity, soil PH and related nutrient data to ensure environmental stability. Filtered reverse osmosis systems treat condensate from HVAC systems to reduce water consumption, and the entire primary power system is provided by low emission natural gas-powered generators. In keeping with the company’s commitment to quality and efficiency, the power system is projected to reduce annual electrical costs by up to 50% and provides separation from the unreliable California power grid which faced multiple regional outages last year which could have resulted in costly crop failures.

Juva Life’s Stockton facility also includes a delivery, packaging, and distribution center. The growing cannabis delivery fleet offers nearly 400 product SKU’s across San Joaquin County with expansion plans into the surrounding region later this year. The separate distribution center will manage B2B shipments of bulk cannabis and future distribution of Juva branded products.

Company Founder and CEO, Doug Chloupek states, “It has been a long time coming, but I’ve always been confident we’d get here as planned. Needless to say, I’m really pleased to finally have our plants in the ground. We can now count the days to increased revenues through commercial sales, and the ability to help fund our life sciences programs which will ultimately lead to an entire class of new proprietary products. We have entered an especially important part of our value proposition. Today marks the day we move beyond development-stage into commercial enterprise.”

Delicious, Quick & Easy Bruschetta

It’s tomato picking time! This year everyone has been generous with their bounty. So what are you going to do with all those tomatoes? I don’t can tomatoes, so the first delicious delight I made was bruschetta. This bruschetta tastes so good I eat it as a meal. I hope this becomes one of your favorite recipes too!

DSCN1050Bruschetta is commonly made with the lesser juicy Roma tomatoes, however, that’s not what I have a kitchen counter full of. I use a fork or a slotted spoon to serve the tomatoes on the toasted baguette. The flavor is so good, I find myself pouring a little of the tomato juice on my bread anyways. I don’t want to miss a drop of these yummy flavors!

The bold flavors of the garlic, basil, and Asiago make this meal irresistible. Even better is the health benefits from the garlic, tomatoes, and basil. Anderson Organics had some beautiful garlic at the farmer’s market this morning!

Camo Fabulous

Hello friends!

I am absolutely loving camo right now. It can be worn with just about anything from the basic black + white to a pop of color. My boyfriend just went hunting this weekend and not gonna lie, his hunting attire inspired me to do this post. Who would have ever thought that a boy who lives in workout clothes could inspire a fashion blogger like me. This look also reminds me of something my amazing brother would love on me. He kinda digs this ghetto fabulous stuff. Speaking of fabulous, how fab is this pleather headband. I was awestruck when it showed up in mail from Monroe & Harlow.  It’s a match made in heaven that’s for sure.

Look after yourself

This year has not been been a great start – At the turn of the year my husband and I were both tested positive with Covid 19 and were very poorly, this is a frightening virus and when I reflect on how lucky we both were to recover it sends shivers down my spine. I am left with symptoms of long covid including exhaustion and dizziness, it has triggered off my balance problems and knocked me back a couple of years but I know I will learn to manage this again. We are both well on the road to recovery. Onwards and upwards

Over the past few weeks I have reflected on my mental health and well-beign and also the mental health of my loved ones. This lockdown is proving to be a lot more difficult as it is cold and wet outside, exercise is more difficult to access and it becomes dark early in the evening so when you finish work it is difficult to get out..

Our well-being and mental health are often pushed aside, not considered important, it is not often discussed but it is something I would like to bring to the surface and encourage you to think about.

Four years ago I was in a dark place. My health was not good, I was suffering with balance and dizziness constantly, it was so bad that I could hardly move some days. My ill health had affected my career and focus in life. My mental health was not great however I felt that I could not talk to anyone about this.

I used my art to express my feelings, this was the beginning of my acceptance that I had issues and this gave me the strength to start talking and helping myself. I created a series of works entitled ‘Pieces of My Life’ which I have talked about on my blog before but never shared the collection online I have been thinking about this work over the past few weeks. in a time where we really need to look after our mental health and well-being, I feel that now I should share this collection of work with you and tell you about the feelings and emotions around each piece. I created this collection, around my mental health, whilst dealing with living with a chronic illness but I know that this can be related to bereavement and feelings that we have associated with lockdown and Covid 19. I hope that by sharing this I may reach out to those who have some of these feelings – remember you are not alone and I encourage you to share these with others.

Pieces of my Life – Living with a Chronic Illness

This collection is an interpretation of challenges one faces when diagnosed with a chronic illness, it is a journey of this life, fighting through to survival.

The entire collection is created from small pieces of fabric and mixed media, these are layered and stitched together in different ways; these represent how one must rebuild their life once diagnosed with a chronic illness.  There is a strong sepia tone throughout this collection, this muted palette epitomises the anxiety and emotions that are associated with diagnosis, colour is used within this collection to symbolise survival.  The collection is hung from drift wood, often with a chronic illness you can feel as though you are being carried along by the tide and have no control.  Words have been used throughout in different media to show emotions, struggles and hope.

  1. Hanging on by a Thread.

This piece of work symbolises the initial thoughts of chronic illness.

Just like the leaves in autumn, when first diagnoses with a chronic illness, one feels as though they are falling from the tree; not sure of where they will land.  This piece of work is transparent with the use of the organza, skeleton leaves and manipulated scrim to symbolise invisibleness as many of these illnesses cannot be seen by others. The threads of the scrim hold this piece of work together, it is fragile and delicate, a person may feel that they are no longer whole, there is a void and you are hanging onto your life by a thread.  These are further emphasised with the long strands of threads hanging loosely

Dimensions: W55cm x L105cm Textile piece W21cm x L99cm

2. Are you alright?

Are you ok?  How are you feeling?  Are you alright?  How many times do people ask this and how many times do we answer fine or ok?

The centre panel is created from many small pieces of fabric, paper and lace with words embedded, these are some of the possible responses to this question.  The small fragments suggest the shattered pieces that we try to hold together in a random confused manner.  There is a winding path of French knots showing how the journey through chronic illness is not easy and there is no direct path to follow; life is a rollercoaster with many twists and turns.

The side panels are also made up of pieces stitched together, striped to indicate a ladder that has no beginning or end as it can be a struggle to keep climbing and hold things together

There are many free machined circles as emotions are flying around and it can feel as though you are going around and around in circles.

Dimensions: W32cm x L48cm. Textile piece W16cm x L48cm

3. Thoughts

Anger, confusion, stress, sadness, and fear can be overwhelming and you need time to recognise and reflect upon these emotions and thoughts.  There are times when chronic illness dominates thoughts and we are unable to express how we feel, often when we do reveal our thoughts they are not always understood or listened to. This piece of work reflects these thoughts and feelings.

The circles represent thought bubbles and the enormity of our illness and how it can monopolise our thoughts and feelings, the size of each circle reflects the magnitude of each thought.

The largest circle holds our chronic illness; this is predominately way this affects our bodies, the symptoms that are associated with the illness, this dominates our thoughts.

Emotions are filled with sadness, anger, fear and confusion and these thoughts follow on and permeate through our thoughts.

It is often difficult to express these thoughts and emotions into the spoken word as the emotional thought bubble dominates these with new emotions; fear of being misunderstood, preposterous or even weak.

With our thoughts and emotions filled we endeavour to have these heard, listened to and understood.  Not all spoken words are heard.

This piece is built up with layers of distressed scrim and linen to represent our distressed bodies and minds. There are many layers of embroidered circles within this work around the main thought bubbles to show the many other day to day thoughts that clog up our minds.  Within the thought bubbles there are fabrics that have been dyed with rust, we must re-oil our minds and try to remove these negative thoughts that overwhelm our minds.  Within these circles there is slow stitch to represent the patterns of the brain.   The words are free machine embroidered and then hand stitched into the circles; the French knots show the clusters of negative thoughts.

4. My life is spiralling out of control

There becomes a time where you feel as though you are out of control.   This piece reflects these feelings and recognises the point of realisation –  ‘My life is spiralling out of control.  Time to slow down and take one day at a time…’

The spiral is built up of many small pieces of fabric and scrim to produce a distressed effect to mirror how you can feel at this point.  Again, a circular stitch is used to join the fabric together and attach the lettering, this signifies the feelings of going around and around in circles.  The structure is supported and moulded with wire that has been spiralled and attached onto the back of the work.

The installation is suspended from one piece of drift wood as we often must be anchored to slow down however this is a vulnerable structure and often hard to stabilise.  The work sits on a slice of wood; a slice of time; time to slow down and take one day at a time …

5. Piecing my life together

When we feel like our lives are falling apart at the seams there comes a time when we must start to begin to patch things together.   This piece of work reflects how the pieces of our life will not fit back together in the same way that they were before they fell apart.  Some of the bits may be singed at the edges, some may be frayed, some may be misshapen but to move on these must be tied together.  Small pieces are machined together to create solid foundation pieces however putting larger pieces back into place is more difficult.  These pieces are loosely joined with herringbone stitch, this crossed path of stitches represents the obstructions one can often encounter whilst piecing their lives back together.

Feeling weak and sick can be hard and obviously, this will make you unhappy.  You will encounter rough times but some people don’t always want to hear the truth.  Once you accept your awful chronic illness and you realise that you are not alone you must start to piece your life together, believe that you are capable of anything and that you are ready to face survival.

Each piece has a button to help hold things together.  The loose pieces at the bottom are attached but not yet ordered to illustrate how things will not always fall into place but they are still there in your life, hanging on until there becomes a time when they are required.

6. Time

Let’s go back in time…… I am a little girl sitting in a field; in my hand I hold a dandelion clock. I blow, one o’clock; I blow again, two o’clock, I blow again, three o’clock and before you know it six o’clock arrives. Life with a chronic illness can often feel like it is passing by and there is no time to stop and reflect.

The dandelion epitomises time.  Time flies by. It is time for reflection.  It is time for change.  It is time for new beginnings. The focal point of this piece is a dandelion clock that has been free machine embroidered and further embellished with hand embroidered bullion knots.

We are going around in circles and life spins round and round.  This is strongly represented with the free machined circles that are worked onto a background that is created from many different fabric pieces. The edge of this piece has been burned to represent the damage that our bodies are suffering.

We often have to make life changes to accommodate our illness and this is reflected in the script around the edge of this piece which is applied using free machined embroidery ‘I am going around in circles… Time is flying by… It is time for reflection… time for new beginnings… Time for change,, no time like the present.’

Dimensions: W58cm x L33cm Textile piece W26cm x L28cm

7. Restoration

Acceptance is a difficult and long journey which is reflected in this piece which depicts this in a long-zigzagged fashion.

The background is constructed using different media, a crumpled brown paper shopping bag, cotton and jute scrim and delicate tissue paper, these have been free machine stitched together with many stitches.  There are often many pieces of your life that have fallen apart and need to be brought back together for a person with a chronic illness to move forwards, the joining of these pieces that are crumpled and torn represents this.

The journey of acceptance leads to the restoration of living with adaptations and compromises.  The journey of restoration is suggested with the piece of unfinished handmade antique lace. This belonged to a dear friend, her mother had started to make this many years ago and was found after she had passed away, I feel that this is a significant way to represent our journeys therefore I have shown that with hope, support, belief, courage and acceptance that lives can be restored, these are often hard to find and therefore these words are embedded within the piece, hand embroidered onto organza in a neutral colour.

Within this journey there may be some changes along the way but hopefully life will be restored and this is reflected with the addition of detail and colour along the piece.  The patterns in the lace are also reflected in the background using hand embroidery.   I have picked out the sprigs of leaves as we start to grow courage in our journey; these then emerge into buds and flowers as we learn to adapt and blossom; adding colour to our lives.

8. Branches

The tree of life symbolises many things, to me it represents strength, protection, harmony, and longevity.  I find comfort and peaceful solitude when walking through trees and this provides me with time to reflect, contemplate and accept.  The tree also represents the family tree, supportive family and close friends are appreciated in this piece of work.

This piece of work resembles branches symbolising reaching out for support and more importantly branching out into different ways of living and adaptation.

The branches are created from layers of mixed media that are joined with free machine embroidery, some of these layers include thick silk yarns, scrim, rust dyed fabrics, paper bags, melted organza and painted fabrics.  Strips of velvet have been used to accentuate the knots and hand embroidery is used to add the finer detail.

  1. Kate – this work is exquisite and thoughtful and beautifully expresses all the emotions, challenges and ups and downs that life has dealt you, which so many people can relate to. Thank you for sharing your beautiful pieces and your words.

    Sending you and your husband my best wishes for a full recovery

  2. Thank you so much for this Kate.
    Wise and profound words along with beautiful art work. Chronic illness has a toll on mental as well as physical well-being but finding ways to cope are crucial. Clearly your art work is helpful to you and sharing it with others is a blessing.
    I do hope you and your husband recover from Covid. Best Wishes.

  3. Beautiful pieces of work and thoughtful words Kate. I’m so sorry to hear you have both been unwell but happy you are now recovering.
    I hope you continue to build your strength and recovery and look forward to your future creative endeavours. Take care ❤

  4. Hello Kate I have read your blog with interest. It tookme back to when I was in a bad place and it resulted in me having a breakdown. The start of this was through work and resulted in my eventual giving up my job as the help was not forthcoming. The following years have had their trials and as you say it is difficult to speak to people because as I found the words would not come. Added to this I was also coping with a health problem that I have had to learn to live with. I am fortunate that I have a brilliant husband and with out his help I don’t know where I would be.

  5. What a beautiful post; lovely art work sometimes like nature, after a hard frost, we find blooms are brighter and more vibrant. I wonder about the creative process and its requirement for serotonin – I have noticed the connection when I have high levels of serotonin, I am more creative.

    Chronic illness though, is not like a hard winter, there is no spring, which is quite a battle to challenge. I admire your tenacity and your approach to transform such a negative into positive objects of beauty. Warmest wishes to you,

Scissors Cutting Wonder Under…

I feel like I should follow up the last post with It’s Monday! Like you don’t know what day it is. It IS Monday. Pros: It’s a new week, I finished grading all the science units AND projects over the weekend, and it’s supposed to rain here today…good for plants. Cons: Monday. Tired. Worked all weekend so I don’t feel ready or rested. Pros: All the stuff for school this week is copied and organized. Cons: We planned a week where we are ON for four out of the five days. Granted, we are ON with Oreos on 1 1/2 of those days. Y’all, I don’t like block schedule. Those periods are so LONG and kids check out unless it’s AMAZEBALLS the entire time. Which sometimes it is…like Thursday and Friday. That is exhausting though for the teacher. This week, I will be demonstrating tectonic plates with Oreo cookies…and magma with corn syrup. It’s cool, but it’s a lot of being ON all the time.

Other exciting things for this week: I need to find a Halloween costume in my stash that will not be too hot to wear in the mid- to high 80s. It should be Disney-themed, but I might just fuck that off, because I don’t have the will or the brain power. I’m supposed to dress like my opposite gender on one day, but I think I already do that every day. Maybe I don’t have to wear a bra that day? That would be AWESOME. Not an issue in middle school at all. I can totally get away with that.

Oh man. My brain is on a roll.

So on Friday, I finished tracing all the pieces…

That’s 6 yards, some with a ton of tiny pieces; some with some whopping big pieces. It took a little over 17 hours to trace them all…not bad for 1500 or so pieces. It’ll probably be at least 7 or so hours to cut them out. I didn’t start until last night…

The day job ran the weekend. That’s about 40 minutes of cutting stuff out. Expect to see shots of that pile growing each night until it’s done.

I really did grade most of the weekend. I had about 50 videos to watch with a smattering of slide presentations to check if there was no video. But they’re done. This is a good thing.

I took a break in between Periods 3 and 4 to go for a 3.6-mile hike…

I just needed a break…and some exercise. It sucks to spend a weekend this way, but if it means I can come home all this week and NOT watch videos, I’m OK with it. The end of the trimester is coming up, and I will be out of town the weekend right before grades are due, so I’m trying to get all the last-minute shit out of the way…because my art class will be slamming me with two projects right before the end of the trimester. So there’s that. I know…it’s my fault…but there’s nothing I can do about that. I’ll figure it out. This school year is not low maintenance.

Cat forts…

They like them.

This lizard has moved into the camp chair I left outside.

It’s there every time I get home. The chair is mostly broken, which is why it’s out there…I guess it’s now a lizard home.

OK. Well I’ve got about a million things on the to-do list this week, but I’m hoping that art will happen in the form of scissors cutting Wonder Under every night. Maybe I’ll be done by the weekend? That would be nice…to be ironing onto fabric next weekend? It could happen. I’d need to clean up in here, of course. No Halloween parties for me…just fabric? Maybe. Oh yeah, it’s school photos today. I’m not in the mood. Think I have some animal snouts somewhere I could use for that…should find those. This week also includes reviewing my insurance because it’s open enrollment, plus a flu shot, book club, some exercise, some planning (hopefully a lot of planning), and a Zoom stitching meeting. Plus a chiropractic adjustment while in costume. Things to think about when choosing one’s costume. Hmmm.

Happy Monday thoughts, y’all.

It’s Friday!

Man, this has been a rough week. I woke up this morning feeling like I’d been hit by a truck. You roll over and groan and think, oh shit, I have to get up and teach and things…then I realized we’ve been doing labs all week, labs with MATH IN THEM (the horrors) and MATH IS HARD. So today we have to finish everything up and I’m going to do the math bits for them because otherwise none of the answers work. Sigh. Seriously, if another kid tells me a block that fits in my hand is 83 centimeters long, I might scream. It’s fine. Everything is fine. Yesterday there were tubs of water on every table for science, then I had to deal with a group who thought it was OK to draw on the blocks we use for measuring…

OK, I’m a middle school teacher, so I see a penis in every drawing they do…maybe it’s a butterfly or a person…I just don’t know. I do know I reamed them. Especially when one outed the other and then that one outed the first one. The third kid…I’m like, get outta here…you’re innocent. Sigh. Then the art class came in and we did glue in there, so it’s like all the bad materials in one day…water plus triple-beam balances plus glue.

Today there is nothing on their tables…well, until art, and I can deal with that short term. There’s also a chance I’ll have to sub during my prep period, so the fact that I have 7 thousand copies to run for next week…well that’s irrelevant. I can do those at midnight, without moving, because the alarm will go off.

My job is frustrating me a bit. Some people are like, well why don’t you quit? Sigh. To do what? That pays me enough? It’s not that I don’t love my job…there are parts of it that are really great and amazing, but these COVID years and trying to retrain kids “if I didn’t tell you to do that during a lab, then don’t do it!”…amazingly dense behaviors…ironic since we’re trying to explain density. Maybe we should just hand them a marshmallow and a chunk of metal and finish it up with that.

I will be in a better mood this weekend. Hopefully. After a hike and some book reading. Plus maybe finishing the tracing part of this quilt! I had a Zoom meeting with quilt friends last night and traced during that…

So between that and the hour and 20 minutes I did on Wednesday night, I have almost 16 hours in and about 115 pieces to go.

I should be done tonight and on to the second exciting stage (in photos) of cutting all those fuckers out. Yeah!

We bought Simba a new bed and it might be too small and a cat might have already claimed it.

OK. I will survive. Gotta get out of here and pick up my co-teacher and head for school. It’s Friday!

Big Swathes of Wonder Under

I brought work home last night. And then refused to do it. All in my head, of course. I need to get some work done, but by the time I dropped my stuff on the floor at home, I knew I needed a walk to clear my head more than I needed to get work done. So that’s what I did. It got dark earlier than I wanted, so I had to cut it short…only 2 1/2 miles instead of 3 1/2, but it was definitely worth it. Since going back in person, it’s been really hard to get exercise in during the week. I’m managing one Pilates class mid-week and that’s about it. Working on that…but it’s work that gets in the way, unfortunately. Too much of it. At least Monday’s vote on revising the master schedule was a big hell no, status quo. That change would have added hours of work in the short term.

I have a ton of projects and units to grade. I’ll get to them. Just didn’t do it last night.

Meanwhile, I’m still tracing things. Mostly I’ve been tracing pieces of sky and land for the last two days. They’re big, complicated pieces, so they take longer to trace. I can’t do 100 of them in an hour. I did get over the 1000-piece hump last night, finished the sky, so all I have left to do is about 500 pieces in the bubble. This is not fast, though. Maybe by the weekend I’ll be done? We’ll see.

The big landscape pieces use up big swathes of Wonder Under…

Some of these yards have 300 pieces on them; some only have 10 really big pieces. I’m up to 6 yards, though…with at least one more to go, I suspect. We’ll see. I have a lot of space on a few of those yards that could be filled in with smaller pieces.

It’s my dad’s 81st birthday today. Last year, he almost died, so 81 feels particularly good to me.

I bought two SAQA blocks this year from the auction…because I sold two quilts and really liked both of these.

Laurel Izard on the left and Paula Dean on the right. I need to get them up on the wall this weekend.

I packed up a quilt for a show last night too. I think there are two others I need to ship this weekend. I have to deliver this other one after work tomorrow. That will be a long day. Hell, they’re all long at the moment. We did labs yesterday and the inability to listen and be safe was an issue. It’s gonna be a rough lab year. So we talked about that. I have one kid who can’t participate tomorrow…so far. Hopefully no more.

Views from the walk…

It got dark quickly…

Squiggly moon as I came down my hill to the house.

Walking was good. Tracing was good. Ugh to the rest. I need to water the plants tonight. I have Pilates, oh good. My hips and back need it. I’ll try grading stuff again tonight. Hoping I don’t lose my prep period to having to sub someone else’s class. That stuff sucks. I need to call my dad. I need more food for dinner, because the boychild came home earlier than we thought. So all that. Plus labs all day, crazy switchout between block 1 science to art to block 2 science…all different equipment and supplies. Ugh. OK. But I can do it. And then it will be done.

Growl Mode…

I’m in growl mode. Didn’t get enough sleep. Didn’t get enough done. Trying to be all zen about today, but it doesn’t feel zen. Want to go back to bed. Want another few days off work. Not an option. Yeah, it’s Monday…maybe this is all about Monday. Some really cool stuff is going on…I got a new sewing machine. My parents surprised me on Friday…told me mom had picked up my machine at the store where I had dropped it for repair (she goes there a lot), so I went to get it from her. And they had traded the old one in and gotten a deal on a new one. I’ve never had a new machine. I owe them some money, which is fine, because they don’t want it right this second, but here she is…

It’s a Viking…I’ve always sewn on Vikings. Looking forward to getting to know her better…many thanks to my parents. May she sew like the wind for a good long time.

I’ve been tracing every night…

It doesn’t look a whole lot different each night, but I made it to the 900s last night, so more than halfway done.

With about 9 1/2 hours in…

I’ve been tracing a lot of small things. The background will be a lot of big things, if I ever get there. Maybe by the weekend? We’ll see. Some nights, I get an hour in…some an hour and a half. Not much more than that. Always have school stuff and grading to do. I spent a lot of time on that yesterday…a good 5 hours or so. Did I finish? Do I ever finish?

This is cool…one in cocoon and one just starting…

That was Friday or Saturday…I should go check again. But I have to work first…today is a challenge. Have to get kids to finish all the things and turn them all in…and then grade them. Never-ending stuff that. Plus a staff meeting where we get to decide whether to upend the schedule completely or grow some classes on the large side. The opportunity to separate some troublesome kids who shouldn’t be together? But we could do that one kid at a time if we needed to. It’s an UGH meeting. OK, they are all UGH meetings.

Drew this before dinner on Saturday. There was no Sharpie in my purse…not sure why. So I was stuck with a ballpoint. Hate that.

Takes too long.

OK. Cranky mood notwithstanding, I still have to teach. Lack of sleep not helpful. I went to bed early. My brain was just not in the best place. Let’s all hope it gets to a better place (or exhaustion) by tonight. Until then, I know I will get to trace later tonight. And I did get a lot done yesterday, even if it felt like a work day (because it was). Crossing lots of things off the to-do list is a plus.

Fast and Furious

Well I have about 8 minutes here to write. Fast and furious. It’s been long days at work, interspersed with some tracing and a little stitching with friends. On Wednesday, the union meeting went for almost 3 hours…I managed to get these graded before and during, as I was listening.

This is the only way I can grade art. Lay it out in the spectrum. So different than grading science.

I get an hour or a little more of this done every night…

I’m in the 400s…only 1100 to go or so.

I just have the head to do on the second figure. IDK how many more to go. There’s a lot of people in this quilt.

I managed stitching last night with friends…well I stitched and they crocheted.

It’s nice to hang out with humans who aren’t pre-teens. And cats…

Luna on her pillar. Yes, I had to cover the top because she kept scratching it. She doesn’t scratch the bottom of it. Ah well.

Unit 2 at school is ending Monday.

So there’s lots of panic on the kids’ part to get work done.

Or not. Some kids don’t get the urgency. It’s been a rough week. I’m looking forward to a couple of days off. Parent meeting this morning with someone who will probably be a major issue. Love those. Enable your kids’ behavior. Please. And then trying to get kids through the assignment. I’m tired.

Ah well. It is Friday. Fridays are often tired. Saturdays will be art and more art with some grading probably. Maybe not. That’s something to look forward to. And more tracing. Meditative. It’s good to do that right before bedtime.

It’s Like Meditation

Well. Morning arrives bah boom. 12 texts later and I’m sort of awake, although tea takes a while to percolate up to the brain. I don’t know if you know, but I’ve been going to sleep earlier than I used to for about 8 months now. I’m less tired, but yes, I get less done too. I suspect it’s better for my health in some ways, but sometimes I wish I could do art for longer at night and sleep less. Some nights, I barely feel like I sleep, even though I’m in the bed place. That’s probably a different issue.

Last night was Back-to-School Night…I saw a whopping 5 sets of parents…it’s COVID, no kids allowed (which means the translators are all gone!). Plus families can’t always leave kids at home, and some can’t get off work. We don’t usually have a lot, but this was really low. Understandable. It does explain my exhaustion last night and today though. Today is a union meeting, back on Zoom for those, not sure for how long. Some parts of school are easier this year…teaching in person is easier than on Zoom, for sure, although some of the behavior stuff would be nonexistent on Zoom, because those kids just wouldn’t show up. Some parts are just a pain, though. I can’t keep up with the workload, at the moment. I get close and then realize I’m only caught up in one subject, and the other one is yelling at me. I’m not sure when that will change…maybe it won’t this year. Ugh.

So coming home and spending at least an hour making art is one of the things that keeps me sane. Right now, I’m in the tracing stage…I’ll probably be here for about 20 hours or so, so that’s a while on the one-hour-a-day thing I’m doing at the moment. I try to trace at least 100 pieces before I go to bed. Sometimes I do more.

I hate wasting Wonder Under. I try to fill in all the blank spots. Then I remember it’s pretty cheap stuff and it’s not really a waste, because my time is worth something.

And sometimes I worry about how it’s not very environmentally friendly. Sigh. Then I tell myself that making art helps. Me, definitely. Hopefully somewhere else too. Who knows?

Anyway, I’m tracing and it’s like meditation and that’s good. I have a union meeting after school today, so it’s another long one. This week is just bad…but maybe I’ll have time for a walk after the meeting. We’ll see. And maybe I’ll get a lot of shit done at school too and it will feel less overwhelming. I have a list written down. That’s a good place to start.

Grading with Pancakes…

Progress on the quilt, a good long hike in the out of doors…even some grading got done. I learned that when I have to grade something hard, I should do something else at the same time…like making pancakes for the next three weeks of breakfasts. Pour batter, grade a thing, flip pancakes, grade a thing, remove from pan, grade a thing. Takes care of that need to get up and scream.

So the drawing is done as of Saturday night…on Friday, I added more paper to the top and decided against another figure…

I just needed enough for some weather. I had help.

Not really. I worked on the people in the bubble…

I really don’t understand the need to tell people what to do with their uteri. It makes no sense to me unless you are willing to adopt the child and feed and clothe it and send it to school. Otherwise, why the fuck do you care? When you are the same people who are OK with immigrant children in cages. When you are the same people ranting about having to wear a mask. It makes no fucking sense. And to ignore the male part of the equation is just stupid. Women don’t get pregnant by themselves, and men can get more than one woman pregnant at a time. There’s your problem…right there. Penises and sperm. Start with those if you wanna get all high and mighty.

Still not helping, Luna.

Saturday we hiked 7 1/2 miles in the Lagunas, which was really nice.

The weather was pretty chilly when we started…

Beautiful blue skies once the clouds went away.

We started at Penny Pines, hiked to the Big Laguna Trail, then cut across…

through Horse Heaven Campground, across the road, then picked up the PCT on the other side.

I’ve done the section north of Penny Pines toward Garnet Peak, but not this piece…great views of the desert on one side, the mountains on the other.

It was definitely warmer on the desert side.

Saw a family hiking this trail…guess they don’t read.

Took me forever to see this stick insect. The man saw it right away.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen one in the wild. It was a good hike and we were back at a reasonable time for me to get some work done, which I also needed to do.

Hey, there’s a Swallowtail cocoon on my lemon tree…

And one of the caterpillars is still feeding…

So many of them disappear; I’m assuming eaten by birds.

I started this drawing on Thursday, the night I forgot to prep dinner, and then finished it Saturday night.

Kinda like it. Not sure what it’s about. But it feels huggy.

Then filled in the background on the big drawing…finished!

Although I ended up adding some lines last night just to break up some pieces more logically. Then I numbered it last night…

Which took an hour and a half…

It’s got 1513 pieces, but I know I have some a’s and b’s in there because I missed things the first time through and wanted the numbers to attempt to make sense.

My dad gave me an article about the guy who helped make the Texas Abortion bill and how he thought about getting around all the challenges. What an ass (the guy, not my dad). Seriously, couldn’t he do something with his skills that might help humanity? Save the planet? Cure disease? Not create a larger unsupported, sometimes unwanted, sometimes unneeded population? That men aren’t responsible for? Yeah. Not a fan.

Well the next step is to trace. First, though, off to work on very little sleep. I’d like to thank my brain for the first hour or so of not sleeping, and a small dog for the last hour or so. He will adapt to our new morning schedule, I think, but it will take a while. Until then, I will either need more caffeine or many naps (not likely).

I leave you with this drawing of magma that looked an awful lot like COVID…

Yeah, makes sense to me.

Sometimes Art Just Needs to Be Made…

One of the reasons I have a hard time sleeping is that Art Brain doesn’t get a lot of time during the school day to process ideas. She tends to start at about 10 PM and since I’m going to bed earlier this year, it doesn’t leave much time for the work of it. I fell asleep last night to her taping more paper to the top and right side of this drawing so she could add storm clouds and another figure. She and I will talk later…I know she’s frustrated at only drawing for an hour a night, but last night, I was exhausted when I got home (at almost 6 PM) and had forgotten I was in charge of dinner (never defrosted, let alone marinated meat), so after food was handled (we went out) and my non-Art Brain had a chance to decompress, there was only an hour and a bit before bedtime. And I was exhausted. So I went for the sleep.

I woke up this morning with the drawing stuff still in my head, but now it has to wait until tonight to get drawn and/or decided. Tape more on top? Definitely. Not sure about the other bit. I’ll think about it.

I have been drawing for about an hour a night, though. Some weeks, I get to make art for 10+ hours, some even 18 (OK, that’s when I completely blow off work on the weekend, which I pay for later)…this week is a solid 6 so far. Not great. Could be better.

I roughed in some stuff on the right side when I started this, then started adding protest signs.

And a white woman with cash…because they can always get an abortion, right? If they’re rich enough? That’s one of the many things wrong with this system of Christian ideals. They are only for everyone ELSE. If my precious gets pregnant and that will affect her future, we’ll find a way. I hate that shit.

And then last night, I kept working on that right side. I think there’s going to have to be hand embroidery on this thing for some of the smaller writing.

I’m ignoring all the deadlines popping up. I might even be ignoring size restrictions for some big shows. Not sure. Nah, it’s still smallish. Ha! Not if I add more at the top and sides. Ah well. Sometimes art just needs to be made. Sometimes they never get into a show. It sucks. But it needs to be made.

I still need to add the entire landscape behind the women. The bubble gets none of that. They live in their bubble world. We get nature. Fuck ’em.

Sometimes I write notes on the drawings as I’m going along…apparently a cat objected to my focus on human rights…

Nova. Seriously. So I’m back to covering up all the edges so she doesn’t get excited again. Midnight used to eat my drawings. Annoying.

This is what I started at dinner.

Trying to keep the weekly drawing practice going, in between trying to manage art and art supplies and science and science supplies and grading and contracts and getting tested. I’m hopefully going hiking tomorrow. And then I’ll grade and hopefully get the drawing ready for the next stage by the end of the weekend. It’s got 6 hours into it so far. For those who want to know how long things really take, I’m betting there’s at least another 2-4 hours to go before she’s done.

So I’m going to drive off into the rain (rain? We have rain?) and get through the day, persuade a bunch of 11-year-olds to actually FINISH their art and not just take the fastest route to done, try to keep track of 100+ 12-year-olds who want to partner with ALL their friends, and somehow manage to get some grading done in between all that (ha! whatever). Nature and art this weekend, though. Yes, grading…but the others too.

Staring at the Paper…

So. If you have a meeting after work about a kid, but you also have your exercise class, which is part of what keeps you sane and healthy, do you (I’m not skipping the class, y’all) dress for the class so you can stay longer at the meeting? Or leave earlier to go get dressed. I’m leaning toward the latter. The former is more efficient and makes more sense, but probably the latter is more professional. Or just send notes to the meeting and know your co-teachers will say the same stuff you do, because it’s not like the kid is different in his other classes. He’s pretty consistent. These are the things that keep me up at night…that and my natural distrust of the white male politician. And a sense of overwhelming dread that accompanies my workload.

It’s a good thing I’m drawing an hour every night…that’s my goal anyway. Draw for an hour, meditate, attempt sleep. Repeat. Some of the “drawing” is just staring at the paper, which is also allowed.

Not sure if it’s the future mom or the fetus who isn’t ready in this figure. Maybe both. That night, there was thunder and lightning galore, and Calli lost her mind over and over again. So I didn’t sleep much either.

The left side is coming along…

I will give them a natural landscape to be in, a green space. The bubble on the right is harder to draw.

I think I have most of the figures on the left done. I’m trying to refrain from more details. There’s enough. I got myself all tied in knots over shadows last night…drawn shadows. They just got to be too much. So I got rid of a bunch of them.

I also entered another show, which took over an hour, although that “family friendly” tag is in there, so who knows what will get in, if anything. I did get into two things yesterday, which is nice. Swallow Me Whole will be in Fiber Art Now as part of Excellence in Quilts

And Wise Choice will be going to San Diego Mesa College for their Sowing Seeds exhibit.

It was part of the Earth Stories exhibit and hasn’t been seen locally, I think. It traveled a lot and then got rolled up. It’s all about birth control and giving women the right to plan families and childbirth…ironically very similar to what I’m working on in the current drawing. Things don’t change. I wish they would, but they don’t seem to.

The symptoms from the booster seem gone now…a little fatigue and feeling like I was coming down with the flu, plus a sore arm. I think I’m good now. And more protected, which is a plus.

OK, with that, I have two meetings today during and after school, an exercise class, and then hopefully some delightful drawing going on. One can hope. The drawing itself will be delightful…the things I am drawing are not so much. I probably have to grade some things too. At least it’s nice and cool for a few days…no more lightning, but drizzly clouds. I’ll take that.

Missed This, Remembered That…

Saturday was already sorta packed…I wanted to go to a show that was closing that day, plus I had a meeting, an actual in-person meeting. I totally spaced on the fact that it was October and there was a women’s march. Damnit. I meant to look it up, but apparently I’m off the information list or something, and I missed it. Sigh. I did come home after everything I DID do and start drawing an angry quilt in response to the crazy Texas abortion ban. It’s been in my head, drawing and redrawing itself for days, so I finally started to vomit it on paper. With a pen. Much cleaner that way.

I tried drawing part of this in my sketchbook earlier in the day, but eh. Not so much. And my evening was kind of irritating. I almost just shut down and did nothing. My brain was in a bad place. But then I got up and cut the paper and started sketching in pencil, getting the broad idea of where things were going, and kept going from there. This was about an hour in…

And then last night, I started in on the details…which is the one problem with drawing full size…I put too many details in and they’re small…

I’m trying to remember that. But maybe I don’t care as much as I should. I just want a project that takes up all of my mind after work and keeps me going for a while, and work is taking up too much time and brainpower. I need something to counteract that. Big complicated quilt to the rescue!

The closing show I went to was Paula Kovarik’s exhibit at Visions Art Museum…

It was a fascinating show. I have seen some of this develop online, but it’s so much better in person. I’m glad I made it to the show. I did say to the volunteers working there about 5 times that they need to make hours that working people can get to, more than just 10-2 on Saturday. That’s a really rough time for me. If I want to hike, I won’t make it. If I have anything else I need to do, it’s during those same hours. It’s hard, because I know they’re making financial decisions as well, but it’s been near impossible to get there until this weekend. It was totally worth getting up earlier and getting out of the house before I usually do. Saturday is my relaxation morning, the only one I get, so I give it up to very little.

Her work is fascinating…I probably said that already.

The stitched line…

The 3D shapes…

Cutting things up and making them into new things…

The hint of traditional quilting but really not…

Fascinating. Like I said.

I just walked around and enjoyed it…

More than once…

Yeah, that phrase pisses me off.

Crazy amount of details…

If you ever have a chance to see her work, you should. I did listen to her talk back in early August, when the show opened, right before school started (hence my inability to get to the actual show). And I bought her book. Fun stuff. I’m always inspired by how other artists do the work.

I stitched a little on this at the meeting I was at, until I volunteered to remove paper from pieced blocks…

And I drew this at dinner…

The weekend also included a negative COVID test after two positive cases in my classrooms, and a COVID booster. So far, my arm hurts, but nothing else symptom-wise that I’m noticing. Good news.

Nova support on the drawing front…

Although some of her support is not really supportive…

I need those.

And to finish with this…

I wish I lived in a ‘socialist’ country that cared about the health of its people. Sigh. My biggest retirement expense will be medications.

OK, long busy day, already feel tired. Could be vaccine; could just be life. Hopefully energy will rebound at the end for more drawing. I’d like to get done with that stage and onto the tracing.
We’ll see how that goes.

Healing Charlotte Podcast: Jalah Clayton, The Black Light Foundation

On today’s episode, we meet Jalah Clayton, the President of The Black Light Foundation. The Foundation is a digitally-based, non-profit to raise awareness about mental health by educating, empowering, and enlightening Black and Caribbean communities. She founded this organization with her sister Mahogany and cousin Tristan to honor their mother and aunt, Claudia Clayton who was lost to suicide in May 2019. Claudia dealt with mental health challenges in her life but used her role to help others. She was vocal about her own struggles and what helped her manage them. The family wanted to find a way to uphold her legacy and continue the work that she was doing. Their ideas started off as a scholarship fund for someone seeking treatment but grew to what it is now with the help of the communities Claudia created. In July 2019, The Black Light Foundation was formed. With this platform, Jalah and her family members hope to raise awareness by having conversation and education around how to take care of mental health, how to support those with mental health challenges, eliminate the stigmas, and be a resource for diverse communities. Their programming has a physical activity component to navigate mental health as Claudia was a runner and cross fitter.

“To challenge ourselves to think differently about what mental health means to different communities especially minority communities and just considering the access that different communities have to mental health resources.”

Jalah Clayton is based in Charlotte, NC and currently works as a Fitness Coach at Crossfit Vitality. She also works with companies to implement Employee and Worksite Wellness programs. Moving her body has been a constant in her life since being a dancer for 14 years, getting a Bachelor’s Degree in Exercise and Sports Science, and now getting a Master’s Degree in Public Health. Her focus with others is on nutrition, recovery, movement, and mindset. Mahogany Clayton lives in Miami, FL and works full-time in Marketing as well as managing those efforts for the foundation. Tristan Marrow is based in Portland, OR, works for Nike, and also supports contributes to the physical activity component for the organization.

The Foundation recently sponsored a “Miles for Mental Health” challenge through the Nike app where they raised $1,450 to donate between the groups, Therapy for Black Girls and Therapy for Black Men. The Black Light Foundation will be putting future efforts towards creating a scholarship for those seeking treatment.

“Knowing that you can use your physical health to navigate your mental health. Whether you are the type of person that needs that intense workout to just burn off some steam and help you decompress at the end of the day or if it’s the person that likes yoga or walking, meditation, stretching. We really want to provide resources like that and explore those tools within the foundation.”

The Black Light Foundation was founded by Jalah, Mahogany, and Tristan, but not without help they are grateful for from Alana V. Allen from Alana Knows Non-Profits, Kim Honeycutt from ICU Talks, and Vitality Fitness. They want to Heal Charlotte because they are all personally connected to Charlotte and grew up here. The advice they have for those seeking healing:

  • Learn Yourself
  • Practice Self-Awareness and Vulnerability as it helps with our connection to others
  • Be Patient and Open on your journey
  • Understand that life will take you through valleys and mountaintops

“Seeing all of what mom did and having that understanding of her story being her family on this side of it. It challenged us to ensure that while we are still here on Earth that we can work in the way that she did.”

In Charlotte, the group is inspired by healers, Kim Honeycutt and Shamyra Parker who is also involved with ICU Talks, and is a self-care advocate as well as helps leaders with self-care. If you would like to support The Black Light Foundation as a volunteer or financially, click here.

No, it is not a day to slice one’s arms.  It is the NFL’s day of saying you are on the team, or you are off…. The training camps are over, the preliminary games are done; the next games are for real….

This is something that happens in sports on a regular basis.  Those who can lead the team forward get to stay, and those who drag it behind, get the pink slip…..

No one would expect it to go the other way…

Yet in our nation’s politics, the other way seems to happen more than not…  The House Republicans have forced Congress to be the least productive in history, had wasted millions on political investigations, only to have them all come up empty-handed; have shut down government and cost the economy $24 billion; by stating they were going to default on America’s debt, one house lowered our credit rating.  And we got nothing resolved for it; the only thing the Republican Congress has done is kick the debt ceiling up the road… It comes due again after the election.

America could be so much better if there were fewer Republicans.   It is America’s duty to make sure the team we put on our field, is the best one we can possibly find.  Stocking it with losers does no one any good at all.

We need the best… and that means people who will put effort into making big plays, not those ones sitting on the bench, refusing to play unless their absurd demands are met…..

It’s cut day for Congress too…. You need to cut them….

    Hi all,

    I have just installed WMS Express and things are going pretty well so far. However one issue i cannot solve is how to update the BIN after i have created a Purchase Order Put-away. It doesnt matter if the PO has a Bin assigned on PO item Line or not, once i create the Putaway then the default bin is shown on the putaway doc/HH (which is fine) but i may want to be able to change Bins when putting away and i cannot seem to be able to change using the HH. When i try and scan an alterntive BIN, other than the notification saying SCAN_ITEM_WITH_BIN I cant then see any updates to the BIN code (even if I then scan the item Barcode) and if i use the MI_CHANGE_BIN all i see is an error ‘Bin Code cannot be found in related bin’ and yet i can open the putaway in BC and amend using alternative BIN Code and then when i return to the HH i can see the bin has been updated.

    What am i missing ?

    TIA Andy

    Part 2 of this issue is also Bin related.

    When trying to ‘transfer inventory/movement’ from one Bin to another, i have created Item Journal and have opened the ADHOC func on HH but when scanning BIN barcode, again i can’t see anything actually happening..

    For your first inquiry, Make your way to Business Central, Device Configuration page, select device configuration you are working with, Scroll down to the warehouse section, under general you find a setting called Place Bin Handling, set that to Overwrite with Prompt, this will allow the change of Bin during the put-away process.

    For your second inquiry, I would recommend Making sure the column New Bin is visible on the screen during the ad-hoc movement. Make your way to Business Central, go to the applications page, select the ADHOCMOVE application, scroll down to Columns, find New Bin and make sure it is selected as column visible. I when then suggest moving it over on the handheld device so that is close to the left one of the first visible columns so you do not have to scroll over to confirm it took the bin scan. When you scan the new bin there will not be a confirmation however the new bin scan column will populate with the new bin that was scanned.

A Mallard on the Serpentine near the bridge has three ducklings. This is not a bad place for them, as they can shelter from gulls under the bridge.

But there are other hazards. First a drake grabbed her and tried to mate, and no sooner had she escaped than a Carrion Crow tried to seize a duckling. She successfully chased the crow away.

There were a male ...

... and a female Pochard at the island.

The eldest Egyptian gosling is beginning to replace its juvenile down with proper feathers.

One of the broods of three sprawled in that negligent way that Egyptians have.

The Great Crested Grebe chick on the Long Water couldn't quite manage to swallow this fish, so the parent ate it instead.

A Coot preened on the submerged wall of the old water filter below the Italian Garden.

A year-old Grey Heron from the nest on the northeast corner of the island was on the wire baskets under its nest, gazing into a gap where a fish might emerge.

Herring Gulls hung around one of the air bubblers in the Serpentine. I don't think they're just enjoying the jacuzzi effect -- the bubbles must be bringing up some small edible creatures.

One of the singing Reed Warblers hidden in the reed bed by the Diana fountain emerged for a few seconds.

A Pied Wagtail ran around beside the Round Pond.

A Blackcap sang near the Italian Garden.

Both the Mistle Thrushes near the Dell were out on the grass. If you stand still, they may come quite near.

A large number of Carrion Crows have been attracted to the grass beside the leaf yard by the people feeding the Rose-Ringed Parakeets there. They jostle around in a disorderly way and try to snatch food.

A Little Owl could be seen in the usual oak tree near the Albert Memorial. This is the female, not seen recently. I thought she was nesting, and indeed she may be but had just come out to stretch her wings.

Two fox cubs were running around in the woodland on the east side of the Long Water. One of them peered at me between the leaves for a moment before dashing away.

  1. What a brave, courageous mother, that female Mallard!

    The Mistle Thrush is a great example of dazzle camouflage.

    1. If only Mistle Thrushes were equally good at hiding their nests. Seeing both on the ground makes make worry that their third nest this year has been predated again.
