Building Imaginary Worlds
The Theory and History of Subcreation

Mark J.P. Wolf’s study of imaginary worlds theorizes world-building within and across media, including literature, comics, film, radio, television, board games, video games, the Internet, and more. Building Imaginary Worlds departs from prior approaches to imaginary worlds that focused mainly on narrative, medium, or genre, and instead considers imaginary worlds as dynamic entities in and of themselves. Wolf argues that imaginary worlds—which are often transnarrative, transmedial, and transauthorial in nature—are compelling objects of inquiry for Media Studies.

Chapters touch on:
  • a theoretical analysis of how world-building extends beyond storytelling, the engagement of the audience, and the way worlds are conceptualized and experienced
  • a history of imaginary worlds that follows their development over three millennia from the fictional islands of Homer’s Odyssey to the present
  • internarrative theory examining how narratives set in the same world can interact and relate to one another
  • an examination of transmedial growth and adaptation, and what happens when worlds make the jump between media
  • an analysis of the transauthorial nature of imaginary worlds, the resulting concentric circles of authorship, and related topics of canonicity, participatory worlds, and subcreation’s relationship with divine Creation.

Building Imaginary Worlds also provides the scholar of imaginary worlds with a glossary of terms and a detailed timeline that spans three millennia and more than 1,400 imaginary worlds, listing their names, creators, and the works in which they first appeared.

Reviews of Building Imaginary Worlds

"Building Imaginary Worlds is a stunning work of scholarship, encyclopedic in its scope, well-informed in its theory, and totally infectious in its enthusiasm for its topic. It will go down as the Bible of imaginary worlds." –Marie-Laure Ryan, author of Avatars of Story

"Wolf shifts our focus from particular stories and media to the fantastical contexts we have created. Imaginary worlds express our deepest hopes, but we don't merely imagine these places. We try to live there, and in this choice lies tremendous social disruption." –Edward Castronova, author of Synthetic Worlds

15 lbs per sq inch. The Mendoza line of armed self defense?

15 pounds per square inch.  That is the force required to crack open the human skull.  Doesn’t sound like much does it?  That’s because it isn’t.  But is it enough of a reason to defend yourself with a gun?  Does it cross the Mendoza line?

That is the question now being argued in the George Zimmerman case since the prosecution’s main witnesses basically blew up in his face.  The first, Rachel Jeantel, alluded that Martin was spoiling for a fight since he noticed a “creepy ass cracker” was following him.  The second, John Good, described the scene he witnessed with Trayvon Martin atop Zimmerman raining blows down upon him, “ground and pound style”.

So we find ourselves with a neighborhood watch captain, investigating a stranger in the neighborhood and then calling the police to report it, on his back being bludgeoned by a  middleweight.

This is the moment.  This is when the anti gun media and all the gun grabbers are going to point to and say that Zimmerman should have just gotten his ass kicked and the need to shoot was excessive.  It’s also the only play the prosecution seems to have been left by the debacle they orchestrated by their own witnesses.

15 lbs of pressure per square inch.  That is the threshold between living and probably dying.  That is when your skull with crack and shatter.  We all ready know that Martin was at least half way there because the amount of psi required to break a nose is between 7 and 9 psi.

Now, you may think that boxers get punched harder than this all the time.  You’re right, they do.  But the force of the punches that boxers  take(and anybody really) is dissipated by the body absorbing it and recoiling backwards.

BUT, when you are on the ground and your head does not have any room to recoil and dissipate the force, the threshold for damage is lowered dramatically.

To illustrate it in another way, think of a catcher in baseball being run into at home plate.

Now imagine that that catcher is against a wall.

That is the difference between a normal punch to the head and what George Zimmerman was facing that night.  What sane person can really try to justify that Zimmerman should have just laid there and took it and hope that Martin stopped before any permanent damage was done?

Oh yeah…these people:

Then again, I did say sane.

There are reasons that MMA refs stop fights quickly when a ground and pound is being done on an opponent without the ability to defend themselves.  And they aren’t fighting in the street getting their head smashed into the asphalt.

There wasn’t a ref to step in and help George Zimmerman that night.  So he defended his own life in the only way left to him short of just hoping that Trayvon Martin would stop killing him.

  • UrKillinMeSmalls

    Wow, no wonder I have such a headache. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atmospheric_pressure

    • Not exactly. Considering we have evolved and adapted to our environment over the past millenia, the 15 psi necessary to fracture our skull is on top of the atmospheric pressure of Earth. If you were, let’s say, the clouds of Jupiter, where the atmospheric pressure is ten times as great the force needed to crack your skull (assuming it needed a catalyst and didn’t just implode on its own) would be little more than a flick of the finger.

      • UrKillinMeSmalls

        Actually you don’t quite understand the physics involved. At ~10 m under water the pressure is about 2 atmospheres or close to 30 psi. Scuba divers heads don’t explode at 33 ft under water. Even if they bump their heads. Same is true at the usual limit for recreational scuba diving, ~130 ft with nearly 5x atmospheric pressure.

        Look at it this way, you can take a pencil eraser with a 1/4″ diameter which will have a surface area is ~0.05 sq. in. to get 15 psi you only need to press with 0.75 lbs, or the weight of 1.5 cups of water. Sorry but you wont crack your skull if you balance 1.5 cups of water on a pencil eraser on your head (you may get wet though).

        The misunderstanding seem to be based on confusing terms. PRESSURE is Force per unit area.
        What you want to be thinking about is IMPULSE per unit area. Impulse is defined as Force times delta(t).

        • Ur killin me smalls…but thanks for the clarification :o)

Go Into The Garden with Camera!

Don’t talk about the weather. Isn’t that some kind of rule?  Not in a blog.  It’s kind of like what you had for lunch,  or when you ask someone “how’s the weather”?   But you have to see this  iphone photo I took on our walk this AM. It was 101 here yesterday and today look at it today!

Cloudy sky

Cool with a few rain drops off and on.  Chelsea wasn’t impressed at all.  Too busy sniffing the dirt. Bitsy stayed home to work on her birthday list.   She turns 14 on October 7th.

Since I’m working in the studio all day, dreaming of being outside, I thought I’d share some of my backyard photos.  I follow a photography site and the challenge for the day was  “go outside and photograph your backyard”.  So I did! Try it.  Go into your own backyard with your camera in hand!

A glimpse of what DSC_0768  Garden visitor

 Gray cat on green grass Itty Bitty Bug

The beginning

Perfect Rose

The garden stalker Yoyosquash

And below is a the garden bed from my old house.  I want it back.  Really.  Not the house, just the bed.

 squirrels 012

Real Lambs

And all day today I’m dreaming of lambs.  Wish these were in my garden.  Maybe soon LOL!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Canadian home building revs up in June

More from Eric Lam | @ericlamTO

A worker works on a roof in Montreal.

Canada’s new homes market is showing no signs of slowing down, with housing starts besting analyst expectations in June and rounding off the strongest quarter in almost a year.

However with home prices continuing to soar, especially in key markets in Vancouver and Toronto, there is some question how much longer the good times will roll.

Here’s some data points to mull over with your morning cereal (fibre is good for you):

  • June housing starts of 197,400 up 1.7% from May
  • June starts strongest since July 2010
  • May and April housing starts revised to 194,100 from 183,600 and 178,700 respectively
  • Consensus June forecasts were pegged at 185,000
  • Overall growth in Q2 of 6.7% q/q is first gain in three quarters
  • Single-family starts surged 11.1% m/m
  • Multi-unit construction contracted 3.1%
  • Rural starts down 2.1%
  • Ontario gained the most, up 24.1% m/m
  • British Columbia declined the most, down 27.6% m/m

This is what economists are making of the numbers:

  • David Onyett-Jeffries, economist, RBC Capital Markets: “The revisions to the data made this month indicate that since January residential construction activity has returned to the range seen last year”
  • “The upward revisions to the data go some way to close the gap between starts and permits that had emerged in recent months which had supported our expectation for a pickup in construction activity”
  • Derek Holt, Karen Cordes Woods and Sarah Howcroft, economists, Scotia Capital: “This should provide a boost to Q2 real GDP, offsetting some of the weakness resulting from Japan’s supply chain constraints”
  • “However, this strength is not expected to persist as some of the gains are likely due to a shift in mortgage regulations in the early spring which brought forward future demand”
  • “In addition, record high prices, high levels of homeownership and relatively sluggish wage growth should limit demand going forward”

China's Microblogging Queen Reigns Over Tens Of Millions

posted 21 Mar 2013, 04:20 by Mpelembe Admin   [ updated 21 Mar 2013, 04:20 ]

Reuters Business Report - REUTERS REPORTER, ANITA LI

"Who has the most followers on Weibo? An actress called Yao Chen. She posted her first tweet in September 2009 and today, she has over 43 million followers.

That's way more than Justin Bieber who has more than 36 million twitter fans.

I was surprised when she became the Weibo queen because she wasn't such a well-known actress.

Many of my friends decided to follow her just because they wanted to know why she's so popular.

Yao often talks about her daily life, her cat, her second wedding, her pregnancy."

But she also uses her fame to help others - by reposting messages for people looking for their missing family members, and bringing attention to social issues like air pollution and unfair treatment of the poor.

People on Weibo say she's more like the girl next door than a big star, and that's why they like her.

She's also seen as kind and caring in China's sometimes cold online world."

Time to Push the Reset Button

Cool thing about New Years Eve is that little feeling of opportunity on the horizon. A chance at a fresh start. 2007 is going to be a special year for me in more ways than the adoption one - so it is about time to muster up some optimism and to brighten my outlook. I've got to get a moveon, or 2007 will whiz by as fast as 2006 did and I've got some stuff I need to do.

Time for me to push the reset button.......

Kickin' It

Ahh, the holiday let down. And I mean that in the most positive way. Time to let down my hair, recover from all of the cookin'/bakin'/sewin' and frettin'. I got to do exactly what I've been dreaming of for the past few weeks:

Snuggle in with Iris, sip a bit o' PGTips and catch up on the Real World/Denver.

Now I am ready to enjoy the weekend!!!

**Edited to add PGTips link - our favorite tea around here**

Top Chef?

Wow, this is pretty cool....thanks LisaB!

You Are an Excellent Cook

You're a top cook, but you weren't born that way. It's taken a lot of practice, a lot of experimenting, and a lot of learning.

It's likely that you have what it takes to be a top chef, should you have the desire...

Why the AGA Rocks

Because it enabled me to cook 8 dozen cookies in an hour and 17 minutes!!

I made the dough for 3 different cookies this morning & they chilled until I got back from the market with the holiday weekend necessities. Russian teacakes are my favorite (Grandma's recipe), Tassies are Jzboy's fave -- and the chocolatey ones are a new addition this year. They are called Chocolate Mint Marvels. Funny thing is that I found the recipe on an InFlight magazine enroute to Mexico.

Take a look at the stove clock - 3:08pm.....Teacakes in the Tall Oven.

Tassies & Mint Marvels on the flip-side.....

Final batches out of the oven...4:25!! Elapsed time: 1 hour & 17 minutes. Brilliant! (Can you see the clock "through" my finger?)

The Mint Marvels taste like a lot like a Thin Mint - but with more chew. Very yum!

Getting excited, Dad??

submitted by Chris Wessling, senior editor/American Way InFlight Magazine
— from his mother Mary Ann Wessling’s recipe

¾ cup butter
1½ cups brown sugar
2 cups chocolate chips (I used semisweet)
2 eggs
2½ cups flour
1¼ teaspoons baking soda
3 or 4 packages of Andes mints (you actually only need one - I also made a bunch w/o mint in case someone didn't like)

Preheat oven to 350°. Melt butter and brown sugar in saucepan over low heat. Add chocolate chips and stir to melt; put mixture into a bowl and let cool. Add eggs, and then mix in flour and baking soda. Chill dough for 1 hour. Roll into balls and place on baking sheet. Bake for 9 minutes. Remove cookies from oven and place an Andes mint on each one. As the candy melts, spread it across the top of the cookie with a butter knife. Makes 3 dozen.

Yucatecan Treasures

*This is the third & final installment in what I'm calling my Mexican Vacation Series. This process has be fun. I enjoy sharing pics and the stories that go along with them. It has also been an opportunity for me to savor the memories a little longer. More pictures below in case you missed them.*

When a groovy old friend of mine heard that we were going to the Yucatan, she strongly encouraged us to check out the ruins of Ek Balam. She knew that we planned to visit Chichen Itza and suggested that this would be a good contrast to that experience. She also mentioned that there just so happens to be a unique little spot to stay closeby called the Genesis Retreat and swore we would love the place.

We did.

This is the view from the very comfortable bed we had at Genesis:

This place is idyllic. You must visit if you find yourself in the area. A cool,down to earth Canadian woman created and runs the amazing space. Amenities include: a sweatlodge, outdoor showers, beautiful mosaics all over the place, vegetarian meals and homemade fresh lime margaritas.

After a good nights sleep and an early morning wakeup call by Mr. Rooster, we had a leisurely walk around the community surrounding Genesis. We were met with friendliness by the locals - including some elementary schoolkids hanging around. One particularly confident girl helped me with a little Spanish. When I asked her "Como se dise" & pointed to one of these guys that were strutting around the place in packs:

She said "Pavo". Turkey.

These guys?

"Pavolitos". Baby turkeys. Have you ever seen a baby turkey? (Def click on the pic for a closer look).

Although it was hard to leave - and I'm not talking about how long it took the taxi guy to finally come get us - we finally made our way from the Genesis Retreat to Ek Balam.

Beautiful, blue skied day. It was warm & a bit humid - but very tolerable. I can only imagine what the temperatures are like in the summer. We were nearly the only people here on this very quiet Wednesday...definitely a contrast to the huge numbers at Chichen Itza. It was nice to be able to meander around in a quiet, contemplative space. And, it was cool to be able to climb to the top of the main pyramid (tourists are no longer able to climb to the top of El Castillo at Chichen Itza).

Did I say cool? It actually was quite hot. We were there when the sun was high in the sky & beating down upon the stone steps. I'd love to go back in time to see how the Maya lived in these places. I'm sure that they zipped up & down the stairs like nobodys business.

View from the top:

The Mayan site of Ek Balam is so incredibly well preserved. They actually only began restoration in 1997! And, there are still mounds left to be excavated. Incredible. Absolutely incredible.

We had just enough time to ride bikes down to the Ek Balam Ceynote (pronounced Say-noh-tay). This pic does it very little justice - you know how that goes...

This is an enormous sinkhole very close to the Ek Balam site. There are over 3000 Ceynotes in the Yucatan - and only 1400 of these are actually studied and registered. Apparantly they were considered sacred places of the Maya because they were the only resource for fresh, sweet water in the Yucatecan jungle and also because they represented the entrance to the underworld. Awesome.

Our taxi was waiting for us once we biked out from the Cenote & drove us into Valladolid so we could catch our bus back to Isla Mujeres. First order of business? Dinner - we were starving and parched. The place we chose had clean toilets, cold beer and this Yucatecan delight:

Huevos Motulenos - a Yucatecan egg dish similar to Huevos Rancheros which is incredibly delicious especially after a day of walking around in the jungle and when you haven't eaten since breakfast. The Negra Leon (very similar to Negra Modelo) was cold, refreshing & a welcome treat.

After a very mellow bus ride (via ADO busline) complete with air conditioning, comfortable, reclining seats and random martial arts movie we were happy to be back to our beach. It was a relief to know that tomorrow would not require any running around, timelines or decisions harder than which beach chair to choose. It was bittersweet because it would be our last day of vacation.

And, our last Caribbean sunset.

We couldn't be bothered doing much shopping during our trip, however, I did manage to find something special for BabyZ.

I couldn't resist. The man who made this, had a card table set up close to the restaurant section on Isla. He had quite a menagerie of handmade felted animals. The armadillo was my favorite.

So, we're home now and transitioning back to reality. Holiday stuff, extended wait times with CCAA, mortgage payments, work schedules, housecleaning. Back to the good stuff, lattes made with fresh milk, fresh garden salads, our home, family/friends to reconnect with and...Iris.

Yes, Iris was very, very, very happy to have us back. We missed her, too.

Smile Like You Mean It

Yup. It was last night!! They rocked. We rocked. The concert was terrific. I can not get the Killers out of my head...I think that is a very good sign.

Highlights of the evening:

1 - Six bands & Five and 1/2 hours of music for $45.50/ticket! I learned last night that the show sold out in TWO minutes!

2 - Best band of the night: The Killers

Hottest singer of the night: Brandon Flowers/Killers (Be sure to click on the pics below to get a better look at lovely Mr. Flowers - these are actually pics from last nights show!)

He was soo smooth, sounded so great and seemed to be having so much fun. Very sexy. The band was incredibly tight. As the last band in a lineup of six, they were definitely worth the wait.

3 - The Silversun Pickups did not disappoint in the least, although I would have liked to hear more from them. They were the first group to come on after the local band contest winners & only had about 25 minutes to play.
Not enough, I tell you!

There will be a next time, for sure, as I really-truly enjoyed them!

Bass player Nikki Monninger was inspirational. I want to be her.

I only have their latest album & love the guitar, so I knew she would be great. To hear her in person & see how confident-cool she was onstage reminded me of that fantasy I've always had of being a rock & roll star! You Go Ms. Nikki!!

4 - I think that Modest Mouse should change its name to Johnny Marr (formerly of the Smiths) and the Modest Mice. The band seemed totally separated from Johnny, who is more of a guitarist than a vocalist - but they had him positioned as though he was fronting the band. It was just awkward.

5 - Jack White is taller, fuller and a lot less vacant than I'd imagined him.

He was really soulful...and pretty hot, too, come to think of it. It was interesting to hear the Raconteurs do some really old school sounding stuff. Jzboy said he thought that it sounded a lot like Alice Cooper. It was almost comical when they broke into their hit (Steady as She Goes) as the final song on their playlist. To me, it was really out of place.

6 - The Shins were good. One of the guitarists really melted my heart with how into the music he was & the way he moved. I noticed some really, huge fans in the crowd -- I'm just not that up on their stuff, I suppose.

Final Thoughts:

Getting hit on in the beer line never gets old.

Cell phone "lights" have now replaced the lighter at a concert.

Always dress in layers if you are going to a show in December.

Run, don't walk to the shop and buy the Killers new it ok to still call them albums? Track 6 - my favorite.

Kids are still overindulging and passing out in the bathrooms at concerts.

There is still anxiety around "being seen" at a show - for me, now, it is the anxiety of being seen by one of the kids I work with at the high school.

Some things don't change...including overinflated beer prices and my annoying habit of leaving concert tickets in back pockets & destroying them in the wash.

Chichen Itza - Not Chicken Pizza!

We LOVED our time on the beach in Mexico - but truly wanted to experience the history of the ruins inland. So we traveled westward to the Yucatan. It may seem cliche to some - but our primary destination was Chichen Itza. What an amazing spot. Spiritual, historical, international - inspirational.

The day was perfect - warm, but not too hot, incredible blue skies. We were awestruck. What a sight - a photo on a random blog just does not do it justice.

I hope that you'll click on the pictures to enlarge the images to get a closer look.

I accept the fact that I'm a lamebrain in the history department, but...c' did I graduate high school without an understanding of the history in this part of the world? It makes me angry...really. Really!! We hooked up with this great Spanish speaking docent who walked us through a small part of the ruins. This guy gave us a great, albeit cursory history lesson about Chichen Itza and its rise to power - I want to know more, though. It is all so interesting & complex.

This stone carving references the "games" played at Chichen Itza that precluded the sacrifices made to the Gods.

This is an etching that alludes to the activities surrounding the beheadings that became a part of the sacrificial aspect of life in Chichen Itza back in the day. Our guide told us that the Maya people were not "into" sacrifice until they were infiltrated by another group of people (sorry, I can't remember the name of that group). Interesting how they embraced the practice.

Love the skull pic, BTW.

Here are a couple other pics of the amazing stone etchings - It is amazing to me to think of how old this art is. Incredible. And, so damn beautiful.

One thing about Chichen Itza - it is a very huge tourist attaction. I will not call it a tourist trap, though. The "artisan marketplace" outside the area is more of a trap. Once you are inside, and this place is huge, you are in a sacred sort of place. Yes, there are loads of folk trying to sell you stuff that has likely been made in China...but, well, you move on from that. It is not like there is a McDonalds onsite. There is some sense of reverence in spite of the capitalization of the thousands of people visiting the spot daily.

Final, shadowy pic of the amazing spot:

Proof that we were here together:

A very cool, very well traveled friend of ours recommended a retreat close to Chichen Itza - well off the beaten path. This included a trip to Ek Balam, a ruins site that has only recently been excavated. That was our planned resting place...and we did end up there....eventually.

More pics of that spot and a funny culture collision story to come...........

Until then....adios muchachas/muchachos.

Does Yoni Mean What I Think It Means??

You are the World

Completion, Good Reward.

The World is the final card of the Major Arcana, and as such represents saturnian energies, time, and completion.

The World card pictures a dancer in a Yoni (sometimes made of laurel leaves). The Yoni symbolizes the great Mother, the cervix through which everything is born, and also the doorway to the next life after death. It is indicative of a complete circle. Everything is finally coming together, successfully and at last. You will get that Ph.D. you've been working for years to complete, graduate at long last, marry after a long engagement, or finish that huge project. This card is not for little ends, but for big ones, important ones, ones that come with well earned cheers and acknowledgements. Your hard work, knowledge, wisdom, patience, etc, will absolutely pay-off; you've done everything right.

What Tarot Card are You?
Take the Test to Find Out.

I love the theme of completion in this card....and things coming full circle.

Life's a Beach

This is me in full vacation mode at one of the many beachside restaurants on Isla Mujeres. Yup, this pic pretty much sums it up.

Isla Mujeres is a teeny, tiny island very close to Cancun in the Mexican State called Quintana Roo. Yes, it is close to Cancun - a 20 minute ferry ride - but couldn't have been further from the flashy, Vegas-esque vibe that seems to exhist there. Here's a pic of the beach a few footsteps from our hotel - we liked to call it "our" beach.

Vacation is a very, very good thing. Mexico was amazing. It was warm, romantic, beautiful, friendly, accessible and incredibly kick-back. Did I mention warm? Very warm. The water & the sun. It was great being in the ocean again - well, I guess it is the sea - I've never experienced water so perfect in temerperature & clarity. And the white sand?? Gorgeous.

We rented a golf cart one day to explore the island. Very fun. Here is jzboy at Punta Sur which is on the Southern end of Isla Mujeres. Gorgeous views of the Caribbean!! It was here that we saw the "Cliff of the Dawn" - the easternmost point in the country & therefore the first part of Mexico to be touched by the sun's rays every dawn.

Best part about our golf cart tourism was the stop at the Tortugranja - the Turtle Farm.

This federally supported program is located on ancient nesting grounds of the giant sea turtle. Turtles come back to the same place they were born to lay their eggs deep in the beach sand. The farm protects the eggs and collects and protects the young, rearing them in large tanks until they can be released into the sea at an age and size where they can take care of themselves. Here are some pics of the protected little (or big) guys:

These guys are 5 days old!!

I'm in love.......

Every day of our vacation ended with an amazing sunset. For me, it was an ideal way to say goodbye to the sun. I felt so incredibly thankful each evening watching the sun sink below the horizon and basking in its glow. I felt comforted, peaceful and so very, very thankful.

I'll have to post a little later on our trip inland - to the Yucatan. That was an entirely different experience & deserves its own space.

Until then ~ Adios.

But Seriously, Folks

Gosh, so much has happened. I didn't write for a while because everything was touch and go for a few months because of my husband's job. He works for a tech industry company that (like everyone else) is restructuring, downsizing, and simply trying to keep afloat. His hours had been cut way back, which really put a crimp in the old budget. We counted our blessings, however, that he stayed employed through the hardest part. My heart and prayers go out to those individuals and families who are struggling in the worst economy that we have seen in a long, long, while.

I know that when things get like this, I do something really stupid like, well, like starting a Dear Jane quilt. I need a new intricately pieced, horrendously huge, completely irrational project to take up all of my worry time. O.K., but you guys don't understand...they have a support group. I was all for it until I realized that the support group was not there to help you quit, they are what I call "enablers". Just when you think that you can put those little blocks away in a box and bury them in the back of the closet, some lady who has already made ten Dear Jane quilts says "well sweetie, you just paper piece that one and applique the diamonds. You can handle this one, as smart as you are." Well, what am I supposed to do? The poor thing thinks I'm smart, and let's face it, I don't hear that too much anymore. Plus, if I only ate OREOs when I was worried or stressed, I would be sitting on two chairs instead of one right now. Seriously.

Rhonda said...

Monica, I am so happy that your hubby is still employed. I've prayed for everyone I know and don't know about the joy situation. Alot of my prayers have been answered...a great sign.
Now about those Dear Jane blocks....there you go with the tinny, tiny, itty bitty blocks again.....LOL

Jackie said...

Glad to hear your husband is still employed. I'm in the mortgage business so we're feeling the same kind of stress.

I love enablers! Can't wait to see your DJ blocks!

StitchinByTheLake said...

Even though we're retired the economy has hit us hard. What savings we had was in the stock market and has dwindled to half. But you're so right - it's either quilt or Oreos and I sure don't need any more Oreos on my hips! blessings, marlene

MOLLY said...

Making those Jane Blocks is probably why you are still semi sane--but let's face facts--Mon--you have never been completely sane! LOL Hope the ole job holds out. Keep us informed and keep making those blocks they are beautiful and someday you can tell your grandchildren the story of your quilt and all the worries that it alleviated. Love to you girlfriend.

* S&P/TSX composite down 0.62 percent at 11,873.17.

* Producers hurt by commodity price drop after China news (Adds details, quotes)

By Claire Sibonney

TORONTO, Jan 12 (Reuters) - Toronto's main stock exchange faltered on Tuesday for the second straight session, as commodity prices dropped after China took it strongest step yet towards tightening monetary policy.

China rocked global financial markets with a surprise increase in banks' required reserves, a move that hit gold and platinum prices and knocked the euro lower versus the dollar. [MKTS/GLOB]

"China's decision to change some of the banking structure with bigger deposits certainly had an effect in terms in trying to cool some of the demand," said Brian Pow, vice president , research and equity analyst at Acumen Capital Partners in Calgary.

"The focus is more on how trade is going to be with China this year."

The Toronto Stock Exchange's energy and mining sectors slumped after the open, with Suncor Energy Inc (SU.TO: Quote) dropping 1.48 percent to C$38.01.

At 10:15 a.m. (1515 GMT) the S&P/TSX composite index .GSPTSE was down 73.96 points, or 0.62 percent at 11,873.17.   Continued...

Paparazzi seek proof of Chris Brown-Rihanna reunion

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Celebrity photographers are jostling for proof of the apparent reconciliation of singer Chris Brown and Rihanna, whose stormy relationship has fascinated and stunned fans and feminists.

Photo agencies said on Monday that the first picture of the couple together again, three weeks after Brown's alleged assault on his girlfriend, would fetch at least $100,000.

Francois Navarre, owner of photo agency X17, said a shot of the "Umbrella" singer and her 19 year-old boyfriend is one of the most sought after in the celebrity news world -- right behind an elusive, idyllic family photo of Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie with their six children.

People and Us Weekly have reported that Brown, whose hits include "Run It!" and "Kiss Kiss", and Barbados-born Rihanna, 21, spent the past weekend in Miami. E! Online reported that paparazzi in helicopters buzzed over the private estate where they were reported to be staying, trying to get photos.

"Dysfunction sells, crazy sells and the more people's relationships seems to be out of whack, everyone is just fascinated to watch them to see how it unravels," said Elayne Rapping, a professor and pop culture expert with University at Buffalo of the State University of New York.

Los Angeles prosecutors have yet to decide whether to formally charge Brown over the February 8 incident, which forced both stars to cancel their Grammy appearances the next day.

California law allows prosecutors to charge an individual with domestic violence, even if the couple reunites.

Celebrity Web site on Monday posted grainy video it said showed Rihanna and the clean-cut Brown exiting a jet separately in Los Angeles the night before.   Continued...

Paris shoppers ready to pounce on big discounts

PARIS (Reuters) - Shoppers are set to storm Paris streets on Wednesday for the start of the winter sales, with department stores such as Printemps slashing prices by up to 80 percent to offload stock after grim Christmas trading.

It will follow similar stampedes in London, New York and other shopping capitals where customers have been lured in by cash-hungry retailers offering steep discounts.

"We are expecting to see the biggest discounts in years," said Lucien Odier, chairman of the French Apparel Retail Association whose members account for 40 percent of apparel and lingerie sales in France or 16 billion euros ($21.6 billion) a year.

"Shoppers know these big sales are coming, they have been waiting for them. I have seen many women preparing, taking notes. So I am optimistic about the outcome," said Odier, who represents brands such as H&M, Zara, Caroll, Naf Naf, Kookai, Etam and Celine.

Paris department stores Bon Marche, Galeries Lafayette and Printemps will open at 2 a.m. EST on Wednesday, close late and extend their trading hours through Saturday.

Staff at Printemps are bracing for more than 100,000 customers on Wednesday, store head Pierre Pelarrey told Reuters, adding he expected the sales to beat revenue taken in 2008.

"It's the biggest day of the year," Pelarrey said.

French Economy Minister Christine Lagarde said on Tuesday that early winter sales in the east of France had gone well.   Continued...

Combat veterans risk high blood pressure: U.S. study

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Can the stress of war cause high blood pressure? Military veterans with repeated tours of combat duty are more likely to have high blood pressure than non-combat veterans, U.S. researchers reported on Monday.

Their study of 36,000 servicemen and women, including 8,800 veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan, showed those with multiple combat exposures were 33 percent more likely than other military personnel to say they had high blood pressure.

Service members who had personally witnessed death due to war or disaster were 50 percent more likely to have high blood pressure, Nisara Granado of the Naval Health Research Center in San Diego, California and colleagues reported in the journal Hypertension.

They said just under 7 percent of the healthy veterans, with an average age of 35, had high blood pressure.

High blood pressure raises the risk for stoke, heart attack, heart failure and other conditions.

Aquis: meanwhile inside the circus tent

My local RSL on the Cairns Esplanade may have been more modernly refurbished recently but retains the quaint practice in Cairns of providing free hardcopies of the Courier-Mail for members and visitors. There was an interesting item noted in today's CityBeat column:

THE constant references in the media to “new casinos” in Cairns and on the Gold Coast has the senior staffers in Deputy Premier Jeff Seeney’s office in a spin.
Not only have casino licences not been granted to the successful tenderers of new “integrated resort developments” at the sites, the word from George Street is developers Aquis and ASF Consortium are probably unlikely to get a licence without a suitable “partner”.
A "suitable partner"? Now what could that mean? What's that skip?

All is revealed at 0.55:

Note: CityBeat is currently being edited by @johnsmccarthy who is well worth a follow on twitter for regional Queensland news and analysis.

  1. It's what we at Hillbilly Watch have been saying since day dot on this deal. Having a pocket of cash (which so far has been kept "out of view") isn't enough for a casino license, even in Joh Bjelke Newman's Queensland. One of the main casino players is going to be a required element - and the selection of this partner will be the most significant issue to be examined.

  2. The "ASF Consortium" granted approval for their Gold Coast proposal is also interesting. ASF Group is listed on the ASX with substantial holdings by Chinese interests. Net assets in the last annual report were somewhere around $12 million and mostly in mining. Strategic Chinese partners get a mention in PR but mostly construction partners and zero experience in either tourism or casinos.

    Which basically means that so far multi - billion dollar integrated resort developments have been granted by the Queensland Government to AFS with net assets of $12 million and Aquis with net assets of $1 held by Tony Fung?

Finished Vision Screening Reports

Ontario, CA

On Saturday, September 10, 2016: CLFIS did a vision screening in Ontario with the surrounding area Lions Clubs.

We departed our Yucaipa staging area at 6:15am and arrived at the screening location at 7:00am. The vision screening began at 8:00am and the last patient of the day was leaving with their recycled eyeglasses at 2:30pm.

Listed below is a synopsis of the day's vision screening findings:

With our eyeglass racks and eye examination equipment repacked we said our goodbyes and departed for the Yucaipa staging area at 3:30pm and arrived 1 hour later to off load equipment.

It was a great deal helping people, working together as a team and seeing many new volunteers. 98 patients received eyeglasses for the first time.

Dictionary of Literary Biography: Contemporary American Poets

full name / name of organization:
John Cusatis, editor

Dictionary of Literary Biography, which has grown to nearly 400 volumes since the inaugural 1978 volume, continues to be among the most highly esteemed reference works available to students and scholars. Library Journal remarked in 2006, "It is hands-down the best overall literary reference work ever published, a proverbial diamond as big as the Ritz..." DLB provides clear, comprehensive literary biographies on important figures spanning every genre, nation and era, written by many of the most prominent literary scholars in the field.

DLB has devoted twelve volumes to American poets, the most recent being Twentieth Century American Nature Poets (2008) and New Formalist Poets (2003). The sixth series of American Poets since WWII appeared in 1998. Contemporary American Poets is the first volume to include a general overview of American poets writing in the 21st century. It will contain entries on approximately fifty poets, most of whom have not yet appeared in a DLB volume.

DLB entries are objective accounts of the lives and careers of writers. It is a reference work that traces the writer's life chronologically beginning with his birth, proceeding from book to book (discussing both the contents of the books and their critical reception) and concluding with an assessment of the writer's literary reputation. A detailed style manual and sample will be provided to contributors. Entries run between 3000 and 5000 words and should be completed within two months of the assignment.

Contributors will receive a copy of the published book as well as financial compensation.

Interested writers should contact the volume editor at John_Cusatis@charleston.k12.sc.us for a list of available entries.

August 11/03 8:38 am - Pan Am Games Update, Quebec-Montreal

Posted by Editoress on 08/11/03

Pan Ams Update

Mat Toulouse was a DNF in the men's mountain bike race. Today the individual time trial competition takes place. Canada has Clara Hughes in the women's race, and Alexandre Cloutier and Jean-Francois Laroche in the men's event.

Peter McCaffery sent along this bit of news from the Quebec-Montreal:

With about about 55 kilometers to go, four riders had broken away from the 18 man break - Jeff Hansen - Ital Pasta, Peter Morse - Midweek Elite, Czeslaw Lukaszewicz, and Torben Wieditz, Thornhill SAAB. They approached a level crossing 30 seconds ahead of the chasers and over 5 minutes ahead of the main pack as the bell started to ring and were waved down by the police. Czeslaw charged straight through and the other three followed him but the remaining 14 stopped at the crossing. A commissaire followed the lead quartet and disqualified them. The rest of the breakaway remained at the crossing and the peleton caught them. They were then started off once the train had gone with their original 5 minute gap.

MFTeaser- Garden Of Joy

Hello everyone, Happy Tuesday!! I know I have mentioned it before, but due to my new life situation, my stamping time has been suffering. It's not always that I don't have the time, because more often than not, I do, it's that I just don't know where to start and I get overwhelmed. Today, I KNEW I had to stamp(and to be truthful, I have a TON more to do), so I decided to start with today's SCS color challenge!! Today's challenge was to use Mellow Moss, White and Kraft or some Taupe-ish color. I chose to use Creamy Carmel. I am getting low on Kraft paper and now that I am no longer an SU demo, it is harder for me to replenish my stock, if ya know what I mean!! Today I also have a teaser of the new My Favorite Things set, Garden of Joy, which is being released tomorrow night!!
I started by stamping my main image on an MFT Perfect Panel. It was then colored with my Copics and layered with the challenge colors. I also added some Crystal Effects to the handle to make it shiny. The DP is from one of the SU Prints Packs, and all my ribbons(except the white) and brads are from SU. The white is from May Arts, and my spiral clips are from Joanne's. My card is 4x8, for anyone that is wondering!!
Well, that is it for me now!! Be sure to check out the MFT blog for all the happenings around MFT, and trust me, there are LOTS!! Tonight's Blog Hop starts at 9pm CST, so don't forget to come back and see what goodies I will have for you then!!

Have a great day!!

My million page views on wikiHow is more a benevolence of the wikiHow staff and readers than an achievement. Please read how.... 11-04

google-site-verification: googled8cb12c78271c415.html H_abxalAdC9Cg0xe3NtXHQ6qbrc

My million page views on wikiHow is more a benevolence of the wikiHow staff and readers than an achievement. Please read how....

When I joined wikiHow in 2010 April, I was unsure of my capacity to write “How to” articles. I had always depended on people to do things for me. I was not able to do even simple things like making coffee, cook food, gardening or excel in any sports activity, music, painting. Absolutely nothing, there was nothing, no activity where I excelled. I never did any “Do it yourself” (DIY) activity.

Then how on the earth could I teach people DIY, or write articles on that subject????

I still joined, read a few wikiHow articles, practiced my articles on “Sandbox”, but I was not satisfied with my efforts and quality of the output. I even seriously thought of just remaining on wikiHow as a reader, writing on wikiHow, I thought was beyond me. But, then, the yearning to become an author on wikiHow was too irresistible for me to ignore.

I took the plunge.

Just two days after joining, with a lot of apprehension, I published my article on wikiHow. The title was How to Retain Self Esteem During Unemployment” and believe me, my own Self Esteem was very low at the time of writing. Needless to say, it was not up to wikiHow standards or norms. Senior editors were very kind to me. They not only put up with my indiscretion, but also did a lot of handholding and walking me through.

It was the same with some other initial articles too. Some were even marked for deletion. There was debate among the senior editors and I also chipped in with my views and justification. There was voting among the editors and fortunately every time, the majority voted to retain the articles.

Over the period of time, I picked up the art of writing on wikiHow (Actually, it wasn’t all that difficult, I had made a heavy weather of simple task.)

My articles were getting published, but still, not one was featured. That worried me no end. I wrote to them and they referred me to the wikiHow coach. The coach was very kind and cooperative, she said that my articles were quality, and could with some improvement be featured.

We started the process. She selected the article How to Impart STEM Education to Your Children" for the process. We had some mail interactions and then a skype interaction. She suggested some modifications, improvement and evolution in quality. I agreed to all her suggestions. The process for featuring the article started and article was featured on 30-09-2010.

The following is the message I conveyed to my readers on the discussion page after the article was featured.

“Thanks, WikiHow community for first awarding the rising star and then deciding to feature it on wikiHow home page on 2010-09-30. I request the readers to follow the reference links and read the exhaustive material available. Whatever could be included in the article as per the format has been included. But this is not the last word on the subject. The article can be considered an instigation, initiation and an invitation for the editors, contributors and readers to start a healthy discussion on the subject.

I will be away on a tour of the campuses, and can respond only on 4th October (if necessary). I want this page itself to become a useful resource for reference on this subject.

I second Eric's suggestion and invitation to readers to collaborate to make this article even better.

happy reading,

To say I was elated, would be a huge understatement. I got inspired, motivated and wrote 15 articles in first year itself. wikiHow thought the articles were excellent and contributed to a better world and I was awarded ‘Barn Star’ by wikiHow. The CEO Jack Herrick took time to write a nice message on my blog where I published to image of the Barn Star.

His one-line message…

 Congrats on the Barnstar award! Thanks for making wikiHow better!

 After that I received a number of messages, likes, and shares,  from him, but this will remain the ultimate for me always.

Totally, I wrote 23 articles on wikiHow. 8 were featured, and, I got 5 Rising stars and 8 ‘Thumsup’ for my edits.

My wikiHow Stats

437 Article Edits
1,011,104 Article Views.

Before this article is construed as an exercise in self glorification, let me explain, the purpose is
purely to state that it is not difficult to write and be read on wikiHow. Anything I can do, can be done by anyone, and in a better way too. (My exalted ignorance levels have been elaborated sufficiently in the beginning of the article itself.)

Please don’t let go, your pedagogues’ skills un-imparted. If you can do something, the world should know. Even simple fixes in the house will interest people and be of immense help to them.  Signup on wikiHow, read articles on “How to start an article on wikiHow” learn about the format prerequisites, and start an article.

Best of everything to you,

Best Wishes,

 P.S. You can view the names of the articles and page views details HERE.

I don't think so, but Aurcanna did show some data that shows they produced more silver than Endevor, Alexco and Great Panther in 2011.  Ofcourse, their cash cost are a bit high compared to Alexco adn Endeavor, but I expect that to drop once the Shafter mine begins production.

I personally think that Endeavors presentation was the best out of all those I saw.

Pack Break: 2015-16 Artifacts

This is the last pack from my Target value box and the first pack of 2015-16 that I've opened. This was the pack visible through the outside of the box. Its nice that they featured Pavel Datsyuk again even though he hasn't been all that dominant of a player the last couple years. He's actually been on the front of quite a few packs over the years.

There were only five cards in this one and they all happened to be base cards. Nothing wrong with that as Artifacts usually has a nice looking design. I hadn't seen this one before now and I have to say I kind of like it. The foil logos in the middle look great and the overall color scheme is neutral enough to work with any teams colors. The only thing I would change is the white background toward the bottom of the card. It would look nicer with anything other than plain white.

None of these fit into any of my collecting projects, so they're all available if anyone is interested. For now they will just go into the traders box with everything else. I've got one 'pack' left to show from the value box, that being the 50-card mix they throw in with the four packs. As expected there wasn't anything great in it, but I will still show it off just for the variety of cards that you can find in those things.

Radial: Enterprise-Class Software Not Just for Enterprises

Omnichannel commerce technology provider Radial on Friday unveiled a suite of technology solutions, operational services and a network of partners it said will enable midsize retailers to compete in an e-commerce world dominated by Amazon. Or, as Radial’s Chief Product and Strategy Officer Stefan Weitz put it, “Amazon is going to kill you. What are your options to deal with their scale, scope and velocity? It’s hard for any retailer without tremendous resources to even compete.” Weitz said the services Radial announced Friday will give retailers in the $20-$250 million in revenue range the “wings” to be competitive with Amazon.

From the technology perspective, the company launched Radial Order Management (ROM), a turnkey software package that provides inventory tracking across stores (enabling buy online/ship to store or buy online/return to store, among other abilities) and what it calls intelligent order routing, which reduces the cost of fulfillment. Operationally, Radial has added more warehouses and technology that not only makes shipping more efficient but enables personalized messaging inside packages for an enhanced customer experience. And, finally, Radial is offering a network of precertified partners for any of its clients’ omnichannel technology selection, solution design, systems integration and payment needs.

“Traditionally, systems like this were reserved for organizations doing a few hundred million dollars a year because they would take several million dollars and 18 months to implement,” Weitz told CardNotPresent.com. “It’s just not realistic for most midmarket customers. The ROM product we’re launching today is specifically targeted at midmarket. The beauty of it is midmarket companies get enterprise class but at a price and complexity level they actually can comprehend and afford.”

5 Reasons Why Anesthesia Free Dentistry is a Bad Idea

5 Reasons to Avoid Anesthesia Free Dentistry for your Pet

At Care Pet Wellness, we promote good mouth care for all pets because we know that it helps pets live longer, healthier and happier lives. We've been asked by many of our pet's people about apet dental logo squarenesthesia free dentistry . Here are the top 5 reasons to avoid anesthesia free dentistry for your pet.

5. No benefits to pet because teeth are only cleaned above the gumline, leaving behind plenty of 'uck' below the gumline. It's not teeth cleaning really - more like aggressive tooth brushing.

4. Your pet will be restained in order to do the cleaning. That's distressing for your pet!

3. Peridontal evaluation not completed. Teeth and mouth are not evaluated for peridontal disease or decay that occurs below the gumline or between teeth. Imagine going to your dentist and they only clean what they see, never x-ray or use probes to see how your gums are doing.

2. An "eyes only" exam. Thorough mouth health exam is not conducted therefore only know what the eyes can see.

1. Bacteria LOVE rough surfaces. Teeth that have been scaled have lots of rough bits and need polishing to smooth them out. This means your pet comes out with teeth that are a better breeding ground for bacteria AND are really rough for plaque to stick.

The American Veterinary Dental is a source of dependable source of validated information on dental issues for pets. This is what they have to say about anesthesia free dentistry for pets.
