Brain Matrixing or Pareidolia
Written on August 20, 2018, 05:40:24 AM by Mahesh Chavhan

Brain Matrixing or Pareidolia

Almost all  Paranormal Investigators goes through a condition where they have to review some photos or videos containing human like shadows, orbs, weird faces, apparition etc. "An Apparition means a remarkable presence of Ghost or ghost like figures." Very few of these photos or videos are truely Paranormal but the others are purely the trick of our brain which we call as  "Brain Matrixing or Pareidolia."

Brain Matrixing or Pareidolia is a psychological phenomenon in which the mind responds to a stimulus, usually an image or a sound, by perceiving a familiar pattern where none exists. Seeing these things in photos, videos or sometimes even with the naked eye, is known as matrixing or pareidolia, apophenia or anthropomorphizing. "Ghost Hunters," says Matrixing is a term used to describe the human mind's...

Spirit Box: Truth or Myth
Written on August 07, 2018, 07:27:07 AM by Mahesh Chavhan

Paranormal Investigators use many of the techniques and equipments for Spirit Communications. But now a days, they are using a device which is a Spirit Box.

A Spirit Box is an audio-only device that rapidly scans through multiple audio channels that is said to make it relatively easy for ghosts to manipulate to say a word or phrase in real time. It has been proven that sounds other than spoken language can be captured on the spirit box and is usually discovered as something other than what is surrounding the investigator.

A Spirit Box uses white noise as a medium to communicate with spirits. white noise is a random signal having equal intensity at different frequencies, giving it a constant power spectral density.

Nightchamps Paranormal Society
Written on August 02, 2018, 11:24:30 AM by Mahesh Chavhan

I (Mahesh Chavhan) am a Certified Paranormal Investigator from Thomas Francis University under the guidence of our mentor Mr. Doug Kelley.

I started the Paranormal Research Group namely Nightchamps Paranormal Society in India which is mainly active in Maharashtra as well as all over India.

As all of us know that India has number of religions and there are diffrent spiritual concepts throughout India. Every religion has some essence of paranormal in it but people with closed mindsets and skeptisms finds it impossible to believe on. These non believers only believes on physical science and has no clue of Parapsycology and Quantum Physics.

But as a paranormal investigator, its our duty to reveal the facts and educate people about the paranormal world and its phenomena.

Nightchamps Paranormal Society is on the same mission to educate indian society about paranormal science and keep them away from any type of superstitions as it is affecting many lives in...

Social+Local Enterprise Alliance

The Social+Local Enterprise Alliance is an initiative to establish a series of local enterprises which will fuel a genuine local economy in an area designated as disadvantaged. Each business is commercial where gaps and opportunities are identified but all profits are re-invested back into Social+ Local to further fuel more local economy. In that respect it can also be seen as a series of social enterprises.

Under Social+Local we established 3 initial local businesses that are up and running and building towards that vision of a new culture of local and social enterprise.

KitchenTime is making hourly commercial kitchen space available to artisan food producers at very affordable prices and in a very innovative way.

The County Fare is providing a food hub to showcase the quality of local food producers and establish a community of local artisans in a high-end food and drink establishment.

And Priory Brewing has given back to Tallaght a sense of local pride by producing top-class craft beer right in the heart of Tallaght.

Masterpiece Cakeshop Will Change the Way We Do business

By | January 31, 2018

In early December, SCOTUS heard oral arguments in the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission. The crux of the case is that bakery owner Jack Phillips sued the CCRC claiming his rights to freedom of religion and freedom of speech have been denied when he refused to bake a custom wedding cake for a gay couple, Charlie Craig and David Mullins. Citing his religious beliefs that marriage is between one man and one woman, Phillips claims that because he sketches and sculpts his culinary creations, he’s an artist. Therefore, forcing him to make these cakes violated his right to free expression, speech and religious freedom.

Expert analysts on the cases’s oral-arguments phase speculate that the conservative justices are leaning in favor of Phillips, with Justice Anthony Kennedy being the key vote, though his questions at times seemed favorable to both sides, making it difficult to determine where he might land. We won’t get a ruling until summer, according to the SCOTUSblog, so this leaves plenty of time to consider what a ruling in favor of Masterpiece Cakeshop would do to businesses across the country.

Among the ways the justices could rule in this case, two in particular would change the way we do business. First, the Court could favor the narrow definition that Phillips’ cakes are artistry, and therefore he cannot be compelled to create art that violates his religious freedom and free speech. This decision would lead to an onslaught of cases to determine the definition of “artistry” in commerce. Are bartenders or chefs considered artists? If so, that means we could be denied a cocktail at R2L or a meal from the chef of Bibou. Second, the Court could find that any business owner with a faith-based objection to serving the LGBT community has grounds to legally refuse that service.

For a moment, let’s consider one of these two arguments is the finding of the Court. Justice Kennedy speculated that ruling in favor of Phillips would result in a deluge of petitions to bakers and other creative wedding vendors — florists, photographers, makeup artists — to cease providing their products and services to the LGBT community, leaving us with little in the way of choice should those business owners comply. In less-populated areas, this could be problematic, not only in terms of finding businesses that don’t discriminate against us, but with scheduling as well. Wedding vendors book up months, if not years, in advance. If there are only one or two bakeries in an area that do wedding cakes, and the one LGBT-friendly option is booked for a couple’s wedding day, where does the couple turn? And that’s just one vendor. What about photographers? Caterers? Florists? Planning a wedding with LGBT-friendly vendors becomes a much greater burden and could ruin what is otherwise supposed to be the best day of a couple’s life.

Anything short of a ruling completely in our favor will not bode well for the LGBT community.

In previous court cases, SCOTUS has held that “not all burdens on religion are unconstitutional and that [t]he state may justify a limitation on religious liberty by showing that it is essential to accomplish an overriding governmental interest.” In the case of Newman v. Piggie Park Enterprises, the Court determined that compelling the service of food to a black man was in the government’s overriding interest despite the defendant arguing that the bible prohibited the interaction of different races. For commerce and the economy to hum like a well-oiled machine, the Court has decided the government has a compelling interest in seeing discriminatory behavior is kept to a minimum, at least in the case of race. Justice Sotomayor, during the Masterpiece oral arguments, commented, “We can’t legislate civility and rudeness, but we can legislate behavior.”

As a member of the National Gay and Lesbian Chamber of Commerce and the Independence Business Alliance, Philadelphia’s LGBT Chamber of Commerce, I intend to run my business on the basis that we are all equal in the eyes of the law. I will accept nothing less than equal treatment from those seeking my patronage as a client; and the Masterpiece Cakeshop v. Colorado Civil Rights Commission ruling, if decided in favor of Jack Phillips, will force every business across the country to state whether they do the same.

Sunday School/Youth

Sunday SchoolGraphic-1Our Sunday School program is thriving and growing. The curriculum is Seasons of the Spirit multi-age, which follows the Revised Common Lectionary. The children do a small gathering and Bible study, and then do crafts, music and other activities. We are starting to see a need to split the group in to older and younger after the gathering time. This works well and encourages the older kids to engage with the Bible story at a deeper level. The next step will be to have a Jr High/High School class as we gain volunteers.

Youth Group LogoOur Youth Group is open to kids in grades 6-12.  We have decided to meet on the first and third Fridays of each month at 6 pm.  We continue to have attendance of 5-8 youth.  We held a planning exercise and the next year will be full of fun and learning.  Suggested activities included service projects, bowling, hiking and a retreat.  On the months with five Fridays, we will have an all-ages special act.

Pinewood Profiles – Tina O’Brien

One of the things we most enjoy about owning and operating a campground is meeting the thousands and thousands of people that visit us every year. We have been blessed to meet campers from all over the world – each with a unique story of how they discovered Pinewood and why they chose US to stay with. We feel so lucky to be a part of your vacations, your family memories, and sometimes – your traditions.

The aim of the blog series “Pinewood Profiles” is to highlight some of the stories of the campers who chose us, and the campers who continually choose us year after year.

When we called for volunteers to be interviewed for Pinewood Profiles Tina O’Brien jumped at the chance. She and I met via phone on a cold March morning, and both remarked about how much we couldn’t wait for the warmer weather and Pinewood season to start.

Tina’s story is a special one. Her parents were Seasonals at Pinewood when she was young, and as an adult she even brought her own children to visit Pinewood during the summer. However, years passed, life got busy, and Tina and Pinewood *lost touch*. Until in 2015, when she and her husband decided to take their small camper to a local campground for the weekend. Tina said they camped at Pinewood that weekend, just once, and “that was it”. They had found their place.

Tina and her husband Bill live about 40 minutes from Pinewood. The year they “rediscovered” our campground, the couple packed their camping gear EVERY weekend and came to stay with us. They left work on Friday evening, loaded up the camper, and made the trek to Pinewood. Then, they packed up two days later to return home for the workweek, and repeated the process every single Friday. Now, if you’re an avid camper or trailer/motorhome owner you know it’s not an easy process to pack all of your required belongings, prepare your rig for travel, and check in and set up your campsite. Still, the couple faithfully did it. Tina says that every time they’d turn into Pinewood Road she and her husband would roll down their windows and inhale the smell of campfire, “We’d breathe in the smell and I’d say to him – smell that? Smells like we’re home. It’s our sanctuary”.

“Pinewood is our escape. We tell people about it all of the time. In fact, our friends call Pinewood by name: â€˜Oh, is this weekend a Pinewood weekend?’. They know it’s a special place for us”.

For Tina, Pinewood is a place to relax. Over the course of our conversation she remarked many times about the slow pace of our campground. “There’s no place like it. It’s like a blast from the past – you see kids riding their bikes, buying penny candy at the store, making friends with other campers. Fellow campers walk by our campsite and actually stop to say hello. You just don’t feel that kind of community many places anymore. It’s like it brings out the best in us”.

This year is an exciting one for Tina and Bill. They’ve decided to become Pinewood Seasonals and will now call Pinewood their permanent weekend summer home – which means no more packing and unpacking everything every single weekend! She says that she’s looking forward to days by the lake (her favorite Pinewood feature), nights by the campfire, and making even more new friends.

Thank you for choosing us, Tina. We are so glad you found us again.

Koo-ee! We’re over here love!

Where are all the feminist lawyers? Discuss. Kat Watson’s essay on the topic was posted on The F Word last week. I was alerted to it by a critical blog post in response written by another female lawyer type who had been irked by it (that post has now been removed hence no link). It irks me too, but not for entirely the same reasons.

The post ponders the question of the alleged absence of feminist lawyers, and prescribes the creation of a “coordinated, active group of feminist lawyers or law students” as a cure for this apparent malaise.

The post refers to the “ever-impending prospect of starting a career at the bar without knowing who to look to as a feminist leader in the field”. You want role models? For goodness sake, didn’t she even do a cursory google search before paying her BVC fees? Can it be possible that someone can gain entry to the profession without being able to use Wikipedia?

Try these (a sample only):

Helena Kennedy QC (Amongst many other things, Author of [amazon_link id=”0099224410″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Eve Was Framed,[/amazon_link] President of The Helena Kennedy Foundation)

Baroness Hale (First woman in the Supreme Court, [amazon_link id=”1849460531″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]supporter of the Feminist Judgments Project[/amazon_link])

Theis J DBE (Mother, Barrister, QC, Former Chair FLBA, High Court Judge)

Shami Chakrabarti (barrister and one woman campaigning machine for human and civil rights, now panel member on the Leveson Press Inquiry)

So, in answer to your question “Where are all the feminist lawyers?”:

We are out there working, achieving, juggling, surviving. In amongst it all some of us campaign for justice in small ways, some in big ways, others just get on with doing a job that would not have been possible for their mothers, and doing it well. Many work quietly to improve diversity at the bar, by mentoring, guiding and supporting young women and young men of talent. They put in extra time to give them a helping hand and to keep an eye out for them. Most challenge discrimination and backwards attitudes when they encounter it. Very occasionally, some of us write about feminist issues.

The law, particularly the bar, is not an easy environment for a woman, or at any rate for a woman with children. There have been many improvements, and although it remains only in isolated pockets, I speak from experience when I say that direct sexism still exists at the bar. But I’ve learnt that feminism is about more than challenging minor acts of chauvinism (women committee members being habitually referred to as “girls” for example). Every time a woman returns from maternity leave, successfully juggles caring and professional responsibilities and achieves in her career it is an achievement that feminists should be proud of. It is to the credit of the individual women (and their supportive others), and to some extent to those within the profession who have pushed change through, that this is possible. Just doing my job day in day out, quite apart from the fact that many of my clients are vulnerable women, is a feminist act. I do being a feminist every day. I don’t particularly feel the need to be a member of any club to prove my feminist credentials – I am a member of the bar.

But that aside, I have to take issue with the proposition that there is “no coordinated, active group of feminist lawyers or law students”. Apart from the Association of Women Barristers obviously. Or the Association of Women Solicitors. Or organisations like the Haldane Society. Or the various Specialist Bar Associations with their Equalities / Diversity Officers and subcommittees.

Maybe we could do with a whizzy new organisation, but based on the examples of “feminist” issues set out in Ms Watson’s post I gather its focus would be on law reform not on legal practice per se. Those matters it seems to me are primarily matters for politicians and for political, representative and lobbying groups to deal with, although professional bodies and specialist bar associations etc often contribute to public debate and consultations about such matters that affect their members or their client groups or that raise points of general public interest (eg FLBA or Sound Off For Justice).

Why is there not more? Because we’re busy people who prioritise our clients. Because we represent those clients, fearlessly, independently of our personal views or convictions – be they female victims of violence, or male perpetrators. When we campaign we campaign for justice. When we gather it is to defend it.

I don’t have F branded on my forehead like some feminist Rimmer. Instead I wear a wig*.

So, to Kat Watson: You may think we’re invisible. But you’re not looking hard enough. You are emphatically NOT the first / only feminist lawyer.

Prescription: more experience. Advice: learn from observation not keyword searches.

* in point of fact I rarely wear a wig as I practice in family law, but I do wear the “dark suit” uniform. I don’t understand the offence taken at the wig – it isn’t gender specific. In fact it renders uniform all members of the bar, be they male or female and thus is a neutralising device rather than a sign of male domination.

7 thoughts on “Koo-ee! We’re over here love!

  1. I get really annoyed by the nouveau feminists preoccupation of being “seen”. Perhaps it’s a throwback to our obsession with celebrity culture, but I can’t say that can I?

    I also find it highly irritating when Internet feminists feel that talking about how bad it is to be a woman in a male world is feminism. They all seem to be so busy moaning about the patriarchy that they miss the reality of feminism.

    I often wonder if it’s a society of expectation that creates these virtual feminists who seem to spend so much time whinging about how bad life as a woman is, that those who are out there, working their arses off competing equally with men in their chosen field, get missed.

    Thank you for your post. Realism at last!

  2. On reading, “where are all the feminist lawyers” I admit I had the same reaction – which was “earning a living”.

    While I do bring my principles to the job and can therefore see prejudice in action (women tend to get harsher prison sentences, victims of domestic violence are ruthlessly pursued by local authorities for rent arrears which “accrued” long after the fled and the housing officer knew, etc) the point is, I don’t have a feminist or “woman-centred” practice. It’s a “by the way, here’s a nifty argument” I’ll throw into the mix. Yemshaw was run by a male solicitor. I don’t know if he considers himself a feminist or just a canny lawyer.

    This, on dispassionate reflection, makes me a bit sad. Back in the day, I wrote about sexual harassment in uniformed services (yes, peer reviewed, thank you for asking). I remember being in a GD hurry to get it published, because I thought the problem would be largely solved by the time it came out. Silly, naive me! A colleage had a forces client who’d been raped in Afghanistan. She thought the soldiers just got randy. My explanation that it was probably more to do with running a front line female soldier out of the Unit was double Dutch to her.

    While I can bring feminist principles to my practice, regrettably, that does not make me a feminist lawyer. I’ve lost that along the way to qualification. You mention Helena Kennedy. Great. She’s my era. The fact is “women” have been pushed down the totem pole of rights and “liberals” heads are exploding trying to deal with the tension between religious and women’s rights. Where are all the feminist lawyers indeed? Ducking for cover.

    Miss Watson will be cheered to know there are a few unsung heroines. They are at Rights of Women. You will love them. Some of us volunteer at the Toynbee Hall’s Saturday women only legal advice clinic. You will earn your stripes there. The things I’ve heard there make the hairs on the back of my neck stand on end. I’m humbled to assist.

    This is the long way of encouraging Miss Watson not to lose focus and for her to step up and be one of the new leaders.

    I tweet @stokenewington

  3. Thanks for this response to my blog on the F Word last week. It’s exactly the kind of response that I’d hoped for and expected.

    Trust me, I did plenty of Google searches. I ordered Helen Kennedy’s book as soon as I saw it on Wikipedia some months ago, and I’ve read the book by the Feminist Judgment project. I had a friend who worked at Rights of Women, so know quite a bit about their work. And, I’m familiar with the major feminist organisations in London, being members of some and having friends who work at others. On top of that, I myself work at a feminist organisation that promotes the sexual and reproductive rights of women around the world. I also recently joined AWB and admire and respect the work that they do. I emphatically DO NOT believe I’m the first or only feminist lawyer – the incredibly positive response to my blog posting lawyers across the UK (and the world) are testament to that.

    I completely respect and admire the work that self-identifying feminist barristers are doing every day to chip away at the age-old traditions that disadvantage women in the profession. I, myself, hope to count myself amongst you someday.

    However, what I’m talking about is a group of qualified barristers and solicitors, as well as law students, who put their skills and knowledge to use in a more activist way outside of their daily practice. I am aware that this group of feminist lawyers – should it ever come about – would have to be professional enough to separate their day jobs from their lives as activists for legal and social change. However, I believe that lawyers are incredibly well-placed individuals to comment on the impact that laws and policies have at the individual level.

    I believe there is room for many different types feminist activism in the legal sector – outspoken activism,traditional ‘campaigning’, joining groups, blogging,tweeting and – crucially – just doing the job that you do.

    I take your points, Pink tape, and I think they are good ones. I may be a green lawyer, but I am not an ignorant feminist. Although I’m probably not as young as you think, it may well be that my generation’s version of feminism is more outspoken, less individualised. More digital, less human. But, that doesn’t mean there is any less of a need for it.

    Thanks again for your post!

    • Thanks for your response Kat. And thanks for clarifying what you have in mind. I guess I do my mini campaigning / ranting through the blog. I can fit that around my other commitments where I might not fit in membership of another organisation, meetings etc. But do let me know if anything gets set up and if nothing else I will report it on the blog.

  4. Sorry but I can’t resist adding to the female role model list. Karon Monaghan QC (how many women employment lawyers has she inspired?), Helen Mountfield QC, Clare Montgomery QC, Vera Baird QC, Phillippa Kaufmann QC (note the number of new ones here), Dinah Rose QC (probably in the top 3 public lawyers practising right now) and this is before I even get going on the inspiring juniors. Fran Webber in immigration? I would put my old friend Amanda Weston up there. See also Maya Sikand and what she has had to say recently about juggling. And I am also going to say Brenda Hale again, just because she deserves mentioning twice.

  5. Excellent post. Can I add Lady Justice Butler-Sloss?

    The decisions she had to make as President of the Family Division were often heartbreaking and left you feeling so glad that you weren’t the one having to make those choices. In cases with no right answers, just less-bad answers, she gave people the dignity they wanted at the worst times of their lives.

New Orleans: Best Hotels for Mardi Gras

{ Posted on Aug 13 2013 by B-man }
Categories : Travel news

Two years after the shock of Hurricane Katrina, New Orleans is on a bumpy road to recovery. While some crimes have been reported recently in traditionally safe tourist areas like the Garden District and the French Quarter, you shouldn’t be discouraged from planning a visit. We’re dealing primarily with a perception problem, Capt. Kevin Anderson, the French Quarter’s police commander, told the Associated Press this week. When someone gets shot in the French Quarter, it’s not just national news, it’s international news.

Anderson said 45 more officers are patrolling the French Quarter than before Katrina. He also told the AP that crime is down from 2004 in almost every category. That’s good news for the Big Easy, which has struggled to regain its luster as a leisure destination. This year should prove decisive for the city’s tourism industry, which was buoyed recently by news that New Orleans had its busiest month ever for cruise-ship calls, welcoming 95,000 cruise passengers in December.

With Mardi Gras coming up next month, it’s high-time to make your hotel arrangements for a trip to New Orleans. Here are some of our favorite properties.

Soniat House
$150 to Over $275, French Quarter
The Soniat House, a singularly handsome property, comprises three meticulously restored town houses built in the 1830s. Polished hardwood floors, Oriental rugs, and American and European antiques are complemented by contemporary artwork. Amenities include Annick Goutal toiletries, goose-down pillows, and Egyptian cotton sheets. Some rooms and suites have hot tubs. Exotic plants fill two secluded courtyards, where afternoon cocktails and a breakfast ($12.50 extra) of unforgettable homemade biscuits and strawberry jam, fresh-squeezed orange juice, and caf au lait can be enjoyed, weather permitting. An on-site antiques shop carries exquisite European furnishings. www.soniathouse.com.

Omni Royal Orleans Hotel
$150 to Over $275, French Quarter
The Omni Royal, an elegant white-marble hotel built in 1960, is a replica of the grand St. Louis Hotel of the 1800s. Sconce-enhanced columns, gilt mirrors, fan windows, and three magnificent chandeliers re-create the atmosphere of old New Orleans. Some rooms have marble baths and marble-top dressers and tables; others have balconies. On the lobby level the recently renovated Rib Room has been one of the city’s culinary showpieces for more than 40 years. The rooftop pool has the best overhead view of the French Quarter in the city. www.omnihotels.com.

Chimes Bed Breakfast
$100 to $200, Uptown
Chimes Bed Breakfast has rooms in the main house and a converted carriage house with hardwood or slate floors. A homey environment prevails, with all the conveniences found in large hotels: hair dryers, irons, stereos, coffeemakers, and private entrances. Continental breakfast is served in the airy dining room; afterward you can relax in the butterfly garden in the courtyard. English, French, Arabic, and Spanish are spoken in the house, and children are welcome. All rooms have private entrances onto the courtyard. 5 rooms. In-hotel: no-smoking rooms, some pets allowed.

Monteleone Hotel
$150 to Over $275, French Quarter
The Monteleone Hotel is the grande dame of French Quarter hotels, with its ornate baroque facade, liveried doormen, and shimmering lobby chandeliers, was built in 1886 and renovated in 2004. A stellar addition is the full-service Spa Aria. Rooms are extra large and luxurious, with rich fabrics and a mix of four-poster beds, brass beds, and beds with traditional headboards. Junior suites are spacious and sumptuous VIP suites come with extra pampering. The slowly revolving Carousel Piano Bar in the lobby is a local landmark. www.hotelmonteleone.com.

Windsor Court Hotel
$150 to Over $275, CBD
Exquisite, gracious, elegant, eminently civilized — these words are frequently used to describe Windsor Court, but all fail to capture the wonderful quality of this hotel. From Le Salon’s delightful afternoon tea, served daily in the lobby, to the unbelievably large rooms, this is one of the best places to stay in New Orleans. Plush carpeting, canopy and four-poster beds, stocked wet bars, marble vanities, oversize mirrors, and dressing areas are just a few of the many fine pampering touches. The smoke-free New Orleans Grill is here, and the Polo Lounge has one of the best martini presentations to be found. The hotel is four blocks from the French Quarter. www.windsorcourthotel.com.

More info on one of the most hyped cyber/biopunk movies in the past few years. I spoke to Pearry Reginald Teo, director of THE GENE GENERATION and he confirmed that they’re “working on distribution rights in different countries/regions and the comics will be out in March“.dnahack.jpg
Which directly leads me to the point – there is a visual supplement to the movie itself, although I’d say that after having waited more than two years for the release, it’s more of a teaser until the DVD release than something we could rightfully grab as a stand-alone comics. Still.

The DNA Hacker Chronicles are released by Bloodfire Studios and as far as the official press release goes, the comics will delve deep into the DNA hacking aspect and readers will have to solve puzzles and break codes while reading the story – which is a brilliant idea in itself. Expect three issues (Genesis, The Suffering, Blood Alliance) this month. Unfortunately the last trailer hit YouTube some ninth months ago and the latest thing on MySpace is Bai Ling arrested at the airport for some pretty theft (which is more like forgetfulness and misdemeanour, they say).

How To Build Your Own Happiness

With the seasons about to change and the colder weather upon us – we sometimes may find ourselves having a harder time pushing away negative thoughts and feelings since we are copped up inside of your homes. This is a list of ways you can build your own happiness to continue getting yourself through even the most difficult times.

Thankfulness – What are you thankful for? Come up with about five things you are thankful for in your life and a reason why. There is nothing that you are thankful for or appreciate that is “silly”. This list will help remind you of even the smallest and positive things.

Random Act of Kindness – Try to go out of your way to do something nice for someone else, either a stranger or someone you know. It can be anything from reaching the top jar on the shelf at the grocery store, emptying the dishwasher for your spouse, or even paying for the person in line behind you at lunch. You would be surprised how making someone else happy can make you happy too.

Exercise/ Relax – As the day goes on you may find yourself a getting more and more agitated. This is perfectly normal, however, you need to release those built-up emotions. Exercising or meditating is a good way to release those feelings and generate your own inner peace. Breathe deep and let go.

Write it out – From working in the mental health field, we are huge on journaling. I love this since you can throw out all of your feelings onto a piece of paper. Whether they are positive or negative, you are never hurting anyone else and you are only releasing built-up emotions when they are too heavy for you to keep carrying.

Kindle Relationships – Whether it be your closest family member or a friend to the farthest one from you on a personal level. It can make their day knowing that they crossed your mind and can, in turn, make you happy. Sometimes we may be a little farther from our loved ones than it may seem, a simple text, phone call, or email can go a long way.

I remember this show, and I know I watched the pilot. Beyond that I can only recall that I had hoped it was to do with the European fantasy/gaming magazine of the same name, the magical surgery gloves and how they went on backwards was kind of cool, and the ending involved yelling at the ocean.

I think...

Binro the Heretic - 2012-10-03

I thought it had potential, even if it couldn't decide whether it wanted to be sci-fi or fantasy.

Does anyone know if the creatures, particularly Warden Osh were done by the same folks that did creature effects for "Stargate" and/or "Earth 2"? I seemed to notice a few similarities.

Rodents of Unusual Size - 2012-10-03

I really wanted this show to take off and was so excited when I first saw this. I've searched for it for years. It really had amazing potential and I'm sad they never went further with it.

dead_cat - 2012-10-03

I remember this. But I remember my dad yelling at my mom about it more.

Squeamish - 2012-10-03

Oh man, I thought I just dreamed up this show. Glad to know my teenage brain wasn't just hallucinating weird shows out of nothingness.

dead_cat - 2012-10-03

Damn, this would be a lot less annoying without all the narration.

Triggerbaby - 2012-10-03

Haha this was that crappy show where a dude yelled at a panther so hard that it died

SteamPoweredKleenex - 2012-10-03

A major network TV production from 20 years ago has all the quality of a steampunker YouTube production today. Progress!

dead_cat - 2012-10-04

I wonder if the reason it didn't get picked for a series was because of that goddamn narration.

Sewing for Charity

On Monday night I offered a free sewing class for people in my local community.  I did the cutting with some help from Irene and Pam (ladies from my church), wrote up instructions, and organized sewing machine loans for those who didn't have them.  It was open to anyone who wanted to learn how to make a pillowcase, or folks who already knew how to make a pillowcase and just wanted to hang out and do some group sewing. ('Cuz what's better than a sewist?  A bunch of them all in one place, right?)  The only catch was that you had to donate at least one of the pillowcases to charity.

I'm so glad I did this!  I got to meet more people in my community, do a little teaching, and watch the pillowcases take shape.  Ten people came out for the fun, even though it was snowing.  And I'm pretty sure they had a good time, too.

Rhonda Buss was my main motivation for organizing this event.  Some of you know Rhonda from her blog and from the beautiful sewing that she does.  I took on making someone's wedding dress this past fall and I would never have been successful without Rhonda's help.  And when the work was done, Rhonda wouldn't accept payment for her time and support, so I had to think of some other way to pay her back.  She's been building an army of pillowcases for the Mary Bridge Hospital in Tacoma, WA, so helping her in return seemed like the right thing to do.

So these 15 pillowcases have marched off to join the other 900+ pillowcases that Rhonda has collected so far.   Onward, ho!

Things Being Various

Extra credit to those who can tell me from where I stole the title of this post.  Hint: One of my favorite poems.

I had a bunch of small odd jobs to do this past week - fixing a snap on someone's favorite winter coat, sewing heavy metal patches on my husband's favorite jean jacket, mending holes in jeans, bartering with my electrician (I repaired his comforter, he fixed my counter lights).  I also made yet another corsetted pencil skirt (second one for this client).

Look at that tear!  He won't let me fix it because he says it's easier to hang.

The comforter's electrician made me laugh.  He's an older, gruff guy with a little white fluffy Lhasa Apso that he clearly adores.  The dog rides shotgun when the weather is warm enough, sleeps at the foot of his bed, and travels to Mexico with him for the winter.  The damage to the comforter was due to the sleeping situation (I guess these dogs like to chew!) and one end was threadbare with big holes.  The electrician had taken the comforter to a couple of places and no one would fix it for him.  He didn't want to replace it because he can't find one exactly like it (he's almost as attached to the comforter as he is to the dog that mangled it).  So he had me chop off four inches and sew it back together.  He was so happy when I gave it back to him - it made my week!  And I love to barter since the "payment" can't be taxed!  (So far I've managed to barter for piano lessons, family portraits, logo work, business card design, and now, electrical work.)

Chopping block

Restitching ends of panels so they didn't pull apart

Slip-stitching the layers back together

I also won a copy of Lolita's Sugar Plum pattern in Lladybird's giveaway.

I've had my eye on this pattern since I saw Rhonda's version of it and I can't wait to sew this up for myself after the holidays!  I'd love to use this Italian Silk Op Art print from Mood (are you listening Santa???  I only need 1.5 yards!!):

I made some progress on my Jean-ius jeans:

And I made up a flyer for the Free sewing class I'm teaching next week in order to add to Rhonda's pillowcase drive:

Let's see what this week brings!

A Snippy Day

I spend the last couple days at the cutting table (aka, the large self-healing mat that lays on my sewing room floor).  This is probably why my jeans get so worn at the knees.  I hate cutting, so I sometimes do a marathon session so that I won't have to do it for a while.  Yesterday I spent about six hours cutting out fabric for scarves and today I cut out a client's skirt during naptime.  So glad I get to sew tonight and all day tomorrow!

The scarf project took a long time because I had to eke out the scarf pieces from jersey scraps and old t-shirts, and then decide what went with what.  Here's what I had at the end of the day:

Twenty scarves!

These are going to become teacher gifts and, if I'm lucky, I'll have some leftover for my Etsy shop.

Whew.  So glad that's over with  . . .

Things You Must Know When It Comes To Hair Loss (2)

Things You Must Know When It Comes To Hair Loss

No matter how many times you've sat down and let someone else cut it off of your head, having your hair fall out on its own is a different story entirely. Being bald is something millions try to avoid. Find out how you can help stop hair loss by using the tips and Folexin Benefits in this article.

You can stimulate the scalp and avert hair loss with frequent gentle massage. Be sure to use the fingertips rather than using your fingernails since your fingernails may tear your hair. Use a small amount of a natural organic oil such as carrot oil or olive oil to moisturize and nourish the scalp.

Mixing up the products you use on your hair can help prevent hair loss. Do not stick with one brand of shampoo or conditioner. A good way to do this is switch brands on the first day of each new season so you will be mixing it up at least 4 times a year.

A ponytail is a great way to pull hair back and keep it neat, but be careful to move the position of the your ponytail on a daily basis. Hair that is constantly stressed in the same spot by ponytail holders, barrettes and headbands, can be easily weakened and break or fall out.

If you are experiencing hair loss, emotionally your best bet is to just deal with it. Know that it is perfectly normal and that you are not alone. As we all age, at some point, we all experience hair loss. Embrace it, and love yourself for who you are, not what you look like.

Doing a handstand for at least 15 minutes each day can in fact help you to grow your hair. When your scalp has good blood flow, it's receiving a lot of oxygen. And a lot of oxygen, along with the right stimulation, creates the right conditions in which to grow hair. So a simple handstand can help you to grow hair and combat hair loss.

Aromatherapy is a great and effective way to help prevent and treat hair loss. The natural oils help to relax the scalp and promote stronger hair follicles. With this method, you will massage the oils into your scalp and leave it there for twenty minutes. After which, you thoroughly wash your hair.

If your hair loss is becoming quite noticeable, this might be caused by a nutrient deficiency in the body. Be sure your diet is balanced, and consider taking a multivitamin and multi-mineral that is easily absorbed to help restore those nutrients you are missing, which could prevent more hair loss.

Be careful on which hairstyles you're choosing if you're losing your hair if you don't want it falling out. Pony tails, braids, corn rows, and other hair styles such as this may pull the hair loose due to the follicle being in a weakened state. And once the hair falls out it most likely will not grow back.

Something as simple as sitting down for a haircut becomes very important and sorely missed once that hair falls out. Use the tips you have learned in the article above and you can start to regrow your hair soon. Try out these methods until you find one that works the best for you.

Sculpture: the thriving listener

Thursday June 23rd, 2016

Hi chaffinches!

I am really happy to come back here to talk to you about my third exhibition. Remember the first two, here and there? This one was different, because it was part of a larger event called “Grazer Umwelt Zirkus” (Grazer environmental circus) taking place in Graz, Austria. More than 4.500 people visited the event. For this third exhibition I had the chance to collaborate with the great artist Ariadne Sevgi Avkiran, whom I met during my previous exhibitions. Check out her really nice tactile art.

The theme of the event was “hot pavement, cool head”. At first I just wondered: how to keep a cool head when the sun is strong? Take an umbrella. Then I wondered how we could make a parasol in an ecological way. I thought that it would be possible to use fallen or torn away tree branches to make the structure of the parasols. And to use plastic bags, which had been thrown away, to braid them and use them as fabric.

For technical and security reasons, I couldn’t realize this big project for this event. So I reduced the size of the project and the image that came to mind was the umbrellas that some tourists put on their heads instead of a hat or a cap. Isn’t it a strange object?! It’s at this moment that I thought of Ariadne and of her beautiful sculptures.

I show you some steps of the realization of our sculpture. At the beginning, we talked about what each of us wanted to do and did some sketches. Ariadne prepared the clay head with a hole at the top for the branches. Then we added vegetal elements and poured a lot of thin layers of liquid plaster on our sculpture to make it become a hybrid between man and plant.

And finally over the course of the discussions, sketches, sculptures, material additions, the man with the umbrella became the thriving listener. With the deployed antennas and the tense and vivid connections, he seemed to listen to us, who imagined him a life. Then we presented him to a group of blind and partially blind people who imagined him in a very different life than what we had thought about. For example, some felt that climbing tracks were growing on his head.

At the end of the exhibition the thriving listener began to crack, to be less vivid, less attentive and it eventually went away…

Third-Party Online Booking Can be Deceptive

Public Health Watchdog Breaking News
Public Health Watchdog Breaking News

When booking a hotel or airline ticket, most people research prices, accommodations, and policies, online. However, care must be taken when using third-party booking such as Expedia or Orbitz. Recently, the hotel industry has taken exception with online travel agencies, which may charge high commissions when they book rooms on behalf of hotel companies. To attract customers, hotels are offering lower prices and better advantages to members of their loyalty programs that book directly, according to MarketWatch.

Expedia Inc. and Priceline Group Inc., have made the online third-party travel industry into something of a duopoly, a situation in which two companies own all or nearly all, of the market for a given product or service. Expedia owns Cheap Tickets,, Hotwire Group, Orbitz, Trivago, and Travelocity. Priceline Group’s holdings include and Kayak.

Comparison Shopping

For the public, the choice between booking directly with a hotel or an airline and going through a third-party seems to be a generational one, according to Mark Blutstein, a research analyst with travel research firm Phocuswright. Older travelers and those who have saved loyalty or reward points are more likely to reserve a hotel room or buy airline tickets directly. Younger travelers, it seems, are focused on price. They tend to be attracted to sites like Kayak or Travelocity in order to do comparison shopping. “They’re looking for the best deal they can get,” said Blutstein.

Frequently, booking directly with a hotel or an airline may yield significant benefits over booking with a third-party site like Expedia. But the third-party site can still be an important tool for all kinds of travelers, when used correctly, reports MarketWatch.

National law firm Parker Waichman LLP has extensive experience in all types of litigation. Attorneys at the firm are available to answer any legal questions for individuals seeking information to consumers who may have been denied a refund from a third-party booking website.

Why Book Directly?

Consumers often select from among three different rates when booking with a hotel directly, said Bjorn Hanson, a professor with the New York University Preston Robert Tisch Center for Hospitality and Tourism. These include a public rate without discounts, a discounted rate for members of loyalty programs, and a discounted non-refundable rate. Hanson said, “Almost always, one of those three will be as low or lower than the rate through an online travel agency for a similar arrangement.”

This is in part because many sites like Expedia charge hotels a commission for the booking they get, which is on average, 15 percent, said Hanson. A spokeswoman for Priceline Group said that does not charge a commission to hotels, but did not comment on other sites owned by the company, MarketWatch reports.

The result is that hotels do not always offer up their best deals on these sites, as they are already spending for the booking. “There’s some price cutting we’re seeing in the marketplace to drive direct bookings,” said Dara Khosrowshahi, chief executive of Expedia.

By the same token, air travel people will usually save by booking directly with an airline. In recent times, airlines have begun charging a fee when consumers book through sites like Expedia, making those prices less competitive.

Better prices are not the only reason to book directly with an airline or a hotel. Customers who go straight to the airline or hotel for their reservations may receive preferential treatment in many cases, such as upgrades or free services for example, internet. There is also a greater possibility that special requests made at the time of booking will be honored when it is done directly. “Chances are you’ll be treated a little better, but sometimes you do need to call it out to them,” said Gautum Lulla, president of Travel Tripper, a hotel booking technology provider.

Booking directly is also an advantage in emergencies, such as when a traveler misses a flight or needs to cancel a reservation, according to Scott Mackenzie, founder and editor-in-chief of Travel Codex, a website that reports on travel loyalty programs. “Whenever there’s a delay or cancellation, it makes it a lot easier to re-book the ticket,” Mackenzie said. “There also may be more flexibility with the rules.”

Fighting Online Booking Scams

Three member of the Florida congressional delegation are attempting to crack down on online booking scams. In 2016, U.S. Representatives Lois Frankel, and Ileana Ros-Lehtinen, teamed up to offer the “Stop Online Booking Scams Act.” This would require full disclosure for third-party hotel reservation websites with violators facing fines of up to $11,000 and having their websites closed down. It would also give state attorneys general more power to pursue action to combat fraudulent websites and streamline the reporting procedure to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC), reports the Sunshine State News.

The two South Florida congresswomen quoted figures from the American Hotel & Lodging Association (AHLA) which backed the proposal and found almost 15 million Americans were cheated out of $1.3 billion due to conmen using scam hotel booking websites. With support from some of their colleagues in Congress, it was noted that it is imperative that these deceptive practices are addressed and that everything possible is being done to eliminate these alleged perpetrators from further taking advantage of consumers, the Sunshine State News reports.

The Port of Ceuta.

With its strategic location in Africa, this Spanish port of call maintains an important geographic position for passengers, products and goods destined for Africa and Europe.

• One of the top ports in the strait for Bunkering services. Tax Free bunkering and Zero Duty on goods passing through the port suppose a financial advantage.
• Quick turn around due to efficiency of calls.
• State of the art facilities for superb ship servicing – specialised in medium sized ships.
• Compliance with the Spanish Ports Cronos project for rapid response and prevention of accidental pollution of the port environment.
The entire economy of Ceuta depends directly or indirectly on the Port and its activities. Due to its geographical location. It is also the entry and exit point for most goods and provides the foundation for most commercial activities.

The existing infrastructure is excellent for the bunkering of ships and is a proud reflection of the importance that this activity represents for the Port.

The Port of Ceuta supplies nearly one million tons.

The competitive advantages that the Port of Ceuta offers, with respect to its competitors, is the quality service that can be found throughout the facility in all areas such as infrastructure, machinery, and labour force. The Port´s target is to attract and meet the needs of the medium tanker that use intermediate fuels. This unique specialization in the servicing and supplying medium
moored boats has no rivals in the strait of Gibraltar and the Port is considered to be the least congested in the Straits.

Liquid bulk traffic which includes the loading and unloading of fuel and the supply of ships represents over half of the traffic of our port. This is a reflection of the favourable times we are currently
enjoying in bunkering.

We have most of the port infrastructure exclusively designated for this side of our business. Therefore, we can confidently say that this is our specialization. We are an indispensable reference point in the Spanish port system for this type of traffic.

Dragon Fly on Screw Palm

We've got the sun in the mornin', and the rain in the afternoon.

Swing music aside, that's been the last couple weeks here in semi-sunny South Florida.

When it rains, it's been Biblical.

Entertaining to watch, it's wreaked havoc with our Rack's day.  Dogs just don't like "weather", especially Flashbangs that the local constabulary would love to have.

Lightning strike within the block will curl your hair, even if you're bald.

But, that silver lining?  It's mosquitoes.  They hatch.  So since it's 10 degrees cooler when the clouds come in, and another 5 or so when it's raining, you've got on jeans to protect yourself from the little disease carrying blighters.

The sun rises, and everything comes out the next day.  Keep hiding.  The bats have gone overhead to try to put a dent in the overpopulation of  the same tiger mosquitoes that are as far North as New Jersey.  Nasty aggressive mosquitoes.

However... there's a savior.  A rather beautiful creature.  They dance on the air.  Perch on the very tips of leaves.  Their hatching is timed to take advantage of the rains and the mosquitoes' birth.  Step out into the sun and there are dozens of them.  Hovering on the breezes, then darting forward for a morsel, they are the Dragon Flies.

Literally 100 of them on my front yard the other day, all facing into the afternoon sun, they watched as I stepped out onto the porch.

Rack on his long purple leash, there was a ripple effect.   My bouncy dog, bounded onto the grass.  A wave of disturbed insects lifted gently out of the way with the same pattern I get when I make my bed.  A rise and flick like an amber colored translucent fabric shimmering in the sun, they launched to get out of the way of the kinetic motion of the black and white dog.   The cloud of dragon flies lifted, then landed further out onto the green grass and set back to the business of keeping the insect population down.

One of them had landed on the screw palm in front of the house.   It stayed there long enough for me to grab the camera and  ineptly take pictures on the internal memory by mistake, then to retrieve the chip and take a few more there.   It was happy to oblige, seemingly willing to be photographed "like one of your French Girls".  Posing, reflecting the sunlight, and shimmering in colors both subtle and changing, it had decided that I had had enough pictures and launched.

Gliding on the air, it left us to ponder its existence for another day.
