For Corpus Christi 2016, record crowds accompanied Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament.
From the Solemn Mass with the St. Cecilia choir to the glorious outdoor procession with the Blessed Sacrament in the parish gardens, the feast of Corpus Christi at St. John Cantius Church in Chicago is an important experience for parishioners and visitors.
Flowers and incense prepare the way for the Blessed Sacrament, and elaborate chalk designs adorn the pathways to the various altars set up for the procession.
Many thanks to the hundred or so volunteers: artists, workers, cleaners, servers, religious, and clergy who helped give glory to our Eucharistic King. And many thanks to the numerous faithful who attended.

Tenneyson, "The Brook"
I chatter over stony ways,
In little sharps and trebles,
I bubble into eddying bays,
I babble on the pebbles.
I wind about, and in and out,
With here a blossom sailing,
And here and there a lusty trout,
And here and there a grayling,
I chatter, chatter, as I flow
To join the brimming river,
For men may come and men may go,
But I go on for ever.
The Transformers: War for Cybertron has been fantastic at bringing back classic characters, giving them a glow up, and unleashing them upon the current generation as well as us old timers. It's especially great when it's a character that REALLY has been out of the spotlight for a while - such is the case of the Autobot Lieutenant Commander, Skylynx.
This figure retails for $119.99 CAD (or if you're Toys R Us, $129.99 CAD) and is a major pain in the ass to find at this time. Making it harder to find is the fact they seem to only be showing up at Toys R Us stores two units per irregular shipment, and Toys R Us stores seem to have 20 percent off sales every month.. so needless to say I'm quite happy my search actually paid off.
Skylynx has always been an interesting character and toy. As a character, if you asked an 80s kid to name the most irritating Transformer ever, there's a pretty good chance that Skylynx would be the answer. He's effectively a pompous know-it-all, and the best part of it is they (Sunbow) got an actor with a snooty English accent, which further cemented Skylynx's rep as a douche.
As a toy, Skylynx is one of those release that clearly wasn't designed by Hasbro or Takara because of wildly different it was. For those who are not in the know, Skylynx is technically a combiner, though not a Gestalt (which has five components). He's made up of two components - a Space Shuttle and a Carrier for any characters needing to hitch a ride. So rather than Transform into humanoid robots, the combined Skylynx transforms into what I would describe as a giant winged dinosaur.
Here's where things get weirder. The Shuttle can detach from the Carrier, and then each of these vehicles can turn into robotic animals. The Shuttle turns into a flying dinosaur bird thing and from what I can dig up and recall, is technically still Skylynx. The Carrier turns into a cat named Lynx, and is it's own character with a voice and everything, but he never says anything when they're combined.
The name Skylynx has been reused a handful of times through the years, but never really for a toy that operates as described above - even the Combiner Wars version was really just the combined Shuttle/Carrier form, so up until now the only "real" Skylynx was the G1 toy or the Encore reissue.
With that said, welcome to 2020.
Earthrise Skylynx is like classic Skylynx in that it is two vehicles with the aforementioned animal forms that combine together to form one large flying form. Contents include the Shuttle, the Carrier, two gun pods, and some fire blast/flame effect parts.
I have to say that for a mainline release of a figure that is probably never going to ever see a repaint or remould, Hasbro and Takara put a lot of love into making this. I actually own the Encore version, but need to dig it out for pictorial side-by-side stuff, so for now you'll have to take my word for this.
The Space Shuttle itself is about the same length as the original toy, but slimmer. Gone are the brilliant gold foil stickers and gold chromed parts, replaced with gold paint - a pity, but not the end of the world. Interesting to note is that this time, the Shuttle seems to be sponsored by NASA, even being given the name "Magnificent".
It's hard to make out, but the Shuttle is not pure while, but rather, there are areas of a light grey, which does cut the blandness of a pure white deco. Other than paint, you also get Autobot sigils on the wings. Mechanical detailing on the various panels of the Shuttle are beautiful, and I particularly love the re-entry heat shielding on the bottom of the vehicle mode. Plastic quality is at the higher quality as I expect from the Earthrise line as compared to the Cyberverse Arcee I popped open on the weekend.
Transformation into winged mode is pretty straight forward even if you've never played with this toys back in the day, with the only real trick is figuring out how to position the wings. The new wing design gives Skylynx greater breadth than before, and really works well in combined mode. The neck has been reworked so there's no Shuttle parts dangling from it, which results in a cleaner look. It's also longer than back in the day.
Speaking of the neck, this new neck has actual articulation, including a ball joint at the base of the head, and several ratcheting joints that allow for excellent posing.
The tail itself is much more articulated than back in the G1 days, but alas has lost much of it's presence as it's much, much thinner, though I can imagine this was done due to space limitations caused by the longer neck.
Perhaps the only one thing that was changed that I wish had stayed the same are the Shuttle's animal robot feet. The old legs were some what stiff due to significant fewer joints, but I seem to recall they held up the body much better than these scrawny new legs. I do appreciate the additional posing options, but I have to say I had a very hard to finding that position that allowed for display of the Shuttle Skylynx without it toppling over.
The Carrier generally resembles what it did back in the 80s... this kind of ambiguous box thing with tank treads. Transformation into Lynx is straight forward, again, even if you've never played with the original toy. Gone is the chrome as well as the motorized walking function.
Having said that, the redesign of Lynx is glorious, significantly improving the ability for this component to pose by having multi jointed legs, which include much needed ankle pivots and heel joints, along with functional needs. I also love how designers gave the front legs extra joints to make Lynx (and combined mode) broader at the front. As with the Shuttle, there's a mind boggling number of panel lines and other mechanical details.
Colours are significantly darker than the G1 vewrsion, but I'm pretty sure there's actually more paint on this version of Lynx than the G1 version, including actual paint on the tank treads
Combination of the two parts is as simple as ever, really two points (front and back) with a release lever at the front. Combined mode looks great due to its large size, as well as being cleaner as the front end of the Carrier and point where the neck comes out of the Shuttle actually line up, which was somewhat of a sore point on the original toy.
Lastly, due to its size, Earthrise Skylynx has a base mode to interlink with other figures, forming little communities or whatnot. Unlike other Leader class figures that have "base modes" because someone said so, the mode for Skylynx isn't as bad. Sure, it's still somewhat of random limb display, but the gun pods help and, more importantly, it's really just Lynx that turns into a base - Skylynx the Shuttle is left unaltered, causing the base to be more of a launching pad for the Shuttle than some generic outpost.
So in conclusion, a very worthy successor to the Skylynx name, and a fantastic improvement on the original toy while keeping the aspects of that original toy that made it fun. Base mode is harmless, and to me, is more fun than the other ones I've seen. If you know anything about Skylynx and like the character, this is one upgrade you don't want to miss.
I am pleased to announce you the creation of a new project for Tina who wanted something around a tutu dress set... So I plan to make a real pancake tutu with a gradient in different tulle overlays, inspired by the romantic ballet, where the spirit of Giselle, dancing with her lover, comes to save him from the death.
This set include seven pieces...
- A blouse, fully lined, sewn in a cotton batiste dyed with bright pink color, edged with lace on the bottom sleeves and with pale pink rayon cord around de neckline. Embroidered roses adorn this piece witch closes in the back with beads and loops.
- A pancake tutu sewn with a gradient in different tulle overlays: gold at the top, on dotted cream, on pale pink, and ending below with mauve pink. I used the traditional technique, that is to say, with lots of layers fixed together and with a metal circle inside to maintain a certain rigidity.
- A corseted over-skirt sew in a lovely yellow-cream jacquard silk satin, fully embroidered and edged with lace and burgundy rayon cord. A fake lacing, a knotted rose on the front panel and a real lacing on the back...
- A cream pantyhose, hand painted with acrylic painting, decorated with tiny flowers and leaves rising from the ankle to the knee.
- A short cape, sewn with lace on satin with tiny embroidered roses, edged with fur and closed with a cordon ended with small pompoms. Because I couldn't make up my mind about the color, I I decide to make it reversible: pink or green depending on the mood of the day.
- Hair accessory: some millinery flowers... mounted on hair clips.
- A pair of ballerina shoes.
This set is worn by my "Nijinska" blythe doll customized by me.
I used a real factory Blythe that looks like Matryoshka Maiden and bought especially to become this ballet girl, tribute to Nijinski.
Work done:
· Carving of her nose, lips and philtrum
· New full makeup made with artist Extra Soft Pastels "à l'écu" from Sennelier and sealed with several layers of MSC
· Sleepy eyes
· Gaze corrected
· New lashes
· Eyelids painted with artist Extra Soft Pastels "à l'écu" from Sennelier
· Four new pairs of eye chips hand painted by me using professional Golden iridescent fluid acrylics. Baby pink (right), Pale lavender (center), Royal blue (left), Olive green (center)

Championship three-peat for Crusaders.Richey, Dufficy spark potent offense against Tigers.D3 BOYS' BASKETBALL FINAL: WHITINSVILLE CHRISTIAN 72, LITTLETON 60.By Tom Flanagan CORRESPONDENT..FITCHBURG— All season, Whitinsville Christian star Colin Richey has been using his words to convey his belief that the Crusaders were more than a one-man team. .Yesterday, the junior guard used something else to prove his point — the basketball. ..While Richey had his share of acrobatic moves and fancy finishes, his sharing of the ball to get teammates involved helped propel Whitinsville Christian to a 72-60 win over Littleton in the Central Mass. Division 3 championship game at Fitchburg State University. ..The Crusaders, the defending state champions and winners of three straight Central Mass. titles, will meet St. Joseph's of Pittsfield (19-5) at 4:15 p.m. Tuesday in a state semifinal at the MassMutual Center in Springfield. ..Littleton, the tournament's No. 5 seed, finished 18-7. ..Richey, who finished with 20 points, consistently commanded the attention of two or three Tigers, which opened plenty of space for Tim Dufficy and Jesse Dykstra. ..Dufficy did most of his damage on the perimeter — getting very comfortable in the left corner, from where he canned three 3-pointers in the first half on his way to a game-high 26 points. ..“Tim was wide open at times,” said Richey, who wasn't at full strength because of an ankle injury. “Having guys like him out there if a team collapses on the dribble is great. You just can't leave him open. He made (Littleton) pay when they did.” ..Dufficy didn't exactly step off the bus brimming with confidence, but shook the jitters when he buried a trey on the Crusaders' first possession. ..“I didn't have a great shooting night at all in our last game (against Keefe Tech), but, luckily, my teammates had the confidence in me to get me the ball when I was open,” he said. “Playing with Colin, I know I'll probably get some open shots, and I was able to hit a lot of them.” ..With Richey using his ballhandling skills — particularly an effective crossover dribble that appeared impossible to defend — and Dufficy feeling it from the outside, it became a case of “pick your poison” for Littleton. ..Dykstra, a forward, had a solid inside game, netting 13 points. ..“We have a lot of kids who can play, and every night someone else steps up,” said Whitinsville Christian coach Jeff Bajema, whose team is 17-5. “(Last night) it was Tim, and Tuesday, it will be somebody else. That's how we win.” ..The Crusaders took a 19-13 lead after the first quarter on the strength of a 10-1 run, and poured it on in a dominating second quarter to build a 45-23 lead. ..While the Whitinsville Christian faithful may have spent halftime googling for information on St. Joe's, Richey knew the game was far from decided. ..“This is the fourth Central Mass. final I've been in as a player, and I knew (Littleton) was going to make a run — good teams always do.” Richey said. “They're a good team, and (Tiger junior) Chris Murray is one of the best players in the area.” ..Murray backed up the high praise and helped prove Richey prophetic, as Littleton's 1,000-point scorer shook off a slow first half and erupted for 15 points after intermission. ..Murray, who finished with a team-high 17, converted a three-point play with 6:55 left to cut the Crusaders' lead to 55-41. ..An offensive rebound and bucket from Alvin Muhwezi (10 points) and a strong drive and finish from Murray sliced the lead to 55-45 with 5:02 left, prompting Bajema to take a timeout. ..The Tigers got nine points from junior captain Ryan Sullivan, playing his first game since undergoing shoulder surgery...from www.telegram.com/article/20120311/NEWS/103119896/1152/hom...

MARTINI MADNESS!
January 17, 2013
Houston Center for Contemporary Craft (HCCC) hosted its fifth annual "Martini Madness!," a chic cocktail fundraiser featuring one-of-a-kind glasses, bottomless martinis, sizzling snacks, live jazz, a big-board auction and mid-century style. At the beginning of the evening, guests selected an artisan martini glass of their choice to use and take home. Guests choose from an incredible array of glasses—all of which are handmade in a variety of styles and materials by local and national craft artists.
This year, to accommodate the January party date, HCCC added a cool winter-wonderland vibe to their mid-century theme. The Center’s main galleries were decorated with gorgeous colored lights, mod designs, and white snowflakes. Nearly 250 guests enjoyed classic, lemon drop, cosmopolitan and winter wonderland (white chocolate/peppermint) martinis courtesy Deep Eddy Vodka. Delicious, locally sourced food was generously supplied by Sorrel Urban Bistro--including braised oxtail and sharp cheddar sliders, grilled/marinated octopus skewers, petite lobster and local vegetable pot pies, fried chicken tetrazzini, and spicy shrimp and potato nori rolls. Scrumptious handmade macarons were provided by Macarons by June for those with a sweet tooth.
Guests wearing “Mad Men”-inspired fashions had tons of fun posing for color and black-and-white photos at Evan Mallett’s retro photo booth as they grooved to swinging jazz by the Jeremy Dorsey Trio. HCCC Board Member and ABC Channel 13 anchor, Melanie Lawson, hosted the Big Board Auction, which was a big hit, raising $20,000 for HCCC. Items included two pairs of United Airlines Business/First-Class tickets to Europe, South America, and Micronesia, which incited a mini-bidding war!
HCCC wishes to thank the Event Chairs, Marie Louise & David Kinder, and Honorary Chairs, Alton LaDay, Libbie Masterson and Judy Nyquist.

A quarter million people joined the Climate Action March around the world on Sep. 8, 2018, asking for immediate action to reduce climate change.
In San Francisco, thousands of activists created one the largest street murals ever made, covering five blocks of city streets with dozens of colorful scenes illustrating possible solutions to global warming, all around the City Hall plaza.
Each mural was designed by a different community group, and painted on the ground in large 35-feet wide circles, with washable tempera paint. Murals featured in this photo set were created by the Sierra Club ("Keep close to Nature's heart"), environmental students at UC Berkeley (“Fiat Lux”) and SFUSD (“Write History Wisely”).
Everyone was welcome to join and it was a sight to behold! Participants ranged from veteran environmentalists to young activists, with very diverse backgrounds, coming together from all across California and beyond. We used this creative art form to demand that our leaders act now to cut back on fossil fuels and switch over to renewable energy, before it’s too late.
High school students from ‘Generation: Our Climate’ participated actively in this event, and were interviewed by both KQED and KPFA. I volunteer with their group and am inspired by their knowledge and passion. I really enjoy our collaboration, which bridges the gap between generations that are too often separated into different silos.
The Climate March was also a great opportunity to reconnect with many of my activist friends, including Marilyn, Wayne and the Freedom Singers. We posed together in front of a colorful float of Mayahuel, the Aztec goddess of fertility, created by Latino activists in the wood shop of a Mission high school.
Kudos to art director David Solnit and team at 350.org for guiding the creation of these murals and many of the signs for this march -- inspiring a diverse community of citizens of all ages. Many thanks to all who marched, painted, chanted, organized and spoke up for a better world at the Climate Marches around the world. This wonderful blend of art, music and activism helped engage more people to fight for climate justice. Let there be light!

A motorcycle club is a group of individuals whose primary interest and activities involve motorcycles.
In the U.S. the abbreviation, MC or MCC, can have a special social meaning from the point of view of the outlaw (aka one percenter) subcultures, and is usually reserved by them for those clubs that are mutually recognized by other MC clubs. This is indicated by wearing the MC patch, or a three piece patch, or colors, on the back of a club jacket or vest. Outlaw (or one percenter) can mean merely that the club is not chartered under the auspices of the American Motorcyclist Association, implying a radical rejection of authority and embracing of the "biker" lifestyle defined and popularized since the 1950s and represented by such media as Easyriders magazine, the work of painter David Mann, and more. In many contexts the terms overlap with the usual meaning of "outlaw" because some of these clubs, or some their members, are recognized by law enforcement agencies as taking part in organized crime.
Outside of the outlaw subculture, the words "" carry no heavy meaning beyond the everyday English definition of the words – a club involving motorcycles, whose members come from every walk of life. Thus, there are clubs that are culturally and stylistically nothing like outlaw or one percenter clubs, and whose activities and goals not similar to them at all, but still use three-part patches or the initials MC in their name or insignia.
Types of clubs, groups and organizations
Motorcycle clubs vary a great deal in their objectives and organizations. Mainstream motorcycle clubs or associations typically have elected officers and directors, annual dues, and a regular publication. They may also sponsor annual or more frequent "rallies" where members can socialize and get to know each other. Some publish in book form lists of members that can be used by touring motorcyclists needing assistance.
