Yay!!! The life-sized dress form I ordered is finally here today! Now I can display my jewelries on a life-sized dressed model. But... where is the instruction for assembly? 0_0
Adventures in Seeing - Humility (1)
These are a few of my favourite kitchen tools... simple, functional, unadorned... producing such humble fare as biscuits, scones, and apple crisp. Baking with these simple hand tools brings me in touch with the process and the feel of what I'm making, a sensation I don't get when using more high-tech gadgets.
Navaratri celebrates the nine forms of Goddess Durga.
On the second night, Goddess Brahmacharini Devi is venerated. She shows us the importance of our spiritual practice and how the discipline of doing it every day is an expression of devotion to the Divine. She is depicted as standing on Her on own two feet, which symbolises Her grounded nature despite Her constant meditation. She also reminds us that our practices do take time, so Brahmacharini Devi is also considered the Goddess of patience.
Every night of Navaratri we perform a Guru-puja, Kalash-puja, yajna, abhishekam, and arati, as well as satsangs from different speakers and Gurudev Himself. This night, however, is always a special reminder and acknowledgement for the Brahmacharis and Brahmacharinis of Bhakti Marga around the world who have dedicated their lives to serving Gurudev and His mission.
Tonight featured a satsang on the Divya Prabandham, a traditional Indian dance performance by four young girls of our Bhakti Marga community here in Springen, and Gurudev continued His commentary on the Mukunda Mala Stotram.

Travels with Bill
USA trip, April through June 1963.
Close friend, William J. Armstrong passed away in March of 2013 at the age of 80. I came in possession of his many travel slides which he had taken through the years, and felt it would be an honor to share these many fine photos for all to see. One of Bill’s many interests was in transportation, and included almost all forms, from the streetcar, to the Jet plane. Early on, he could be found with a simple box camera taking photos of 3rd Avenue Railway streetcars in his native Bronx and nearby southern Westchester County. As he matured, the circle of travel increased to all of the New York metropolitan area, and then to other cities. Bill loved to travel, to see and experience not only his native New York, but the country as well. His interests went far beyond just transportation, but included history, geography, geology, and photography.
In April of 1963, a thirty year old Bill Armstrong set out on a two and one half month journey to see the country. He had just purchased a new 1963 Ford Falcon four door sedan, teal green in color and equipped with a rare 4 speed manual transmission mated to the base six cylinder engine. The car would take him across the plains of Texas, through the searing heat of Death Valley, along the Pacific Coast, and to Crater Lake where snow was still packed higher than his car. He drove north to Vancouver, Canada and then south along the eastern front of the Rockies. He and his trusty Falcon would visit many of the fabled National Parks such as the Grand Canyon, Crater Lake, and Yosemite. Cities such as Houston, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seattle, Kansas City, St. Louis, Minneapolis, Detroit, Cincinnati, and Cleveland. Most of the driving was done on the old network of US highways, as the Interstate highway system was largely to be built.
Viewing these slides we are seeing our nation as it was fifty years ago. JF Kennedy was President, but would only live a few months longer. Our nation was engaged in a war in Viet Nam that would go on throughout the decade. The civil rights movement was growing as the decade progressed, and then Martin Luther King would be killed. But our nation was still optimistic for the future, and in six years we would land on the moon. Ours was a different nation then, and looking at these photos we see how styles have changed, and just look at all the “old” cars.
Bill loved to share his photos, and presented many evening slide shows during the years. I’m sure he would be pleased, and humbled, that his photos have been preserved and restored as much as possible. Time has not been kind to his color slides. After fifty years the colors have either faded or have changed tint. Bill shot many of his slides using Kodak Ektachrome, which faded very rapidly after developing. Many of those slides could only be saved into a black and white format. Fortunately during the 1963 trip he began to change over to Kodachrome slide film which held up far better. Although Kodachrome turned somewhat purple and darker over the years, a quick session with Photoshop managed to restore much of the color and sharpness. I have included several of the original Ektachrome slides as “before” images for comparison purposes.
This trip served to take Bill from a basic photographer to a highly competent scenic photographer. One can see his mastery of the camera improve as the trip progresses. Note how composition improves, and the use of foreground elements becomes evident during the trip. These photos were all taken with a relatively basic 35mm rangefinder camera with manual focus, lens and shutter adjustment. Bill never used a light meter, instead using the simple instructions provided on the inside of the film box, and let’s not forget the very slow speed of those old color slide films.
So enjoy the trip through Bill’s USA….I’m sure he is smiling.

Mark got his start in comedy after he dropped out of university and moved West to Calgary where met up with Bruce McCulloch. They formed an improv troupe called 'The Audience' and in 1983, made their way to Toronto along with Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald and eventually, Scott Thompson. One name change later and 'The Kids in the Hall' were born. In 1988, Lorne Michaels of Saturday Night Live put them on television and man, did they ever push the envelope. Perhaps you remember Mark as the 'Chicken Lady'? By the mid 90's, the 'Kids' split up and Mark joined the cast of 'SNL,' for three seasons. He's since gone on to star in films and on Broadway while writing and starring in the critically acclaimed Canadian series 'Slings and Arrows'. Mark also worked on the well received but short lived nAmerican series 'Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.' This past spring, he reunited with the 'Kids' for a North American tour and recently, he got a star on Canada's Walk of Fame. Now, he's producing a half-hour comedy series called 'Less Than Kind.'

In June 1937 Air France Transatlantique was formed to operate services across the North Atlantic. The Farman 223.4 sailplane was ordered, which first three F-AQJM, F-ARIN and F-AROA flew in march 1939. At the same time Imperial Airways commenced on 05 August 1939 a flight-refuelled transatlantic airmail service with Short S.30 Empires. To increase the payload, instead of extra fuel, three H.P.54 Harrow tankers were used (G-AFRG, G-AFRH based in Gander / G-AFRL based at Ford) These flight refuelled transatlantic services aroused interest in France and in view of the german threath its potential us as bomber (increase military load and radius of action) would prevail over commercial use by Air France. As BOAC would not be operating commercial services over the North Atlantic during 1940, they would afford Air France Transatlantique to use the facilities of Imperial Airways and the programme was set up, including training for Air France crew. The route Paris/Bordeaux - New York was never carried out due to the outbreak of the war. The Harrow and the AW.23 (G-AFRX) based at Ford were destroyed on in raid on 18 August 1940 and the two gander based harrows were impressed into the RCAF.

Adelaide High School was formed in 1908 in Grote Street with the amalgamation as the Pupil Teacher School (where some teachers received a little training to be a teacher in a Tudor Gothic building), the Grote Street Model School and the Advanced School for Girls. Before this time boys were expected to attend one of the private colleges for secondary education but the Advanced School for Girls was basically a high school. Some primary schools ran continuation classes before 1910 to introduce the brightest pupils to some form of secondary education.
By the end of 1908 the new school had changed its name to Adelaide High School the first government high school in South Australia and the first free high school in Australia. Country and suburban high schools were developed from around 1912 onwards with early high schools at Mount Barker, Strathalbyn, Victor Harbor, Gladstone, Gawler etc. Due to overcrowding at the Grote Street site boys were moved to the Currie Street School (there were four government primary schools within the city square mile during most of the 20th century) and only the girls occupied the Grote Street School site. In 1951 this cream brick Art Deco but slightly modernist high school as built for the Adelaide boys. The girls did not move to the West Terrace campus until 1979. Additions to the school in recent decades have been done in a sympathetic architectural style.
This lichen prouces soredia, small roughly spherical units made up of fungal hyphae and algal cells that are capable of reproducing the lichen assexually. In this case, the soredia are produced in localized regions of the thallus, rather confusingly called soralia (sing. soralium). The soralia are the more or less circular raised patches with a mealy texture seen in this image

Igneous rocks form by the cooling & crystallization of hot, molten rock (magma & lava). If this happens at or near the land surface, or on the seafloor, they are extrusive igneous rocks. If this happens deep underground, they are intrusive igneous rocks. Most igneous rocks have a crystalline texture, but some are clastic, vesicular, frothy, or glassy.
Obsidian is readily identifiable. It is a glassy-textured, extrusive igneous rock. Obsidian is natural glass - it lacks crystals, and therefore lacks minerals. Obsidian is typically black in color, but most obsidians have a felsic to intermediate chemistry. Felsic igneous rocks are generally light-colored, so a felsic obsidian seems a paradox. Mafic obsidians are scarce, but they are also black and glassy.
Obsidian is an uncommon rock, but can be examined at several famous localities in America, such as Obsidian Cliff at the Yellowstone Hotspot (northwestern Wyoming, USA) and Big Obsidian Flow at the Newberry Volcano (central Oregon, USA).
Obsidian is moderately hard and has a conchoidal fracture (smooth and curved fracture surface), with sharp broken edges. Freshly-broken obsidian has the sharpest edges of any material known, natural or man-made (as seen under a scanning electron microscope).
Obsidian forms two ways: 1) very rapid cooling of lava, which prevents the formation of crystals; 2) cooling of high-viscosity lava, which prevents easy movement of atoms to form crystals. An example of obsidian that formed the first way is along the margins of basaltic lava flows at Kilaeua Volcano (Hawaii Hotspot, central Pacific Ocean). The obsidian sample seen here formed the second way.
El Real Monasterio de San Juan de la Peña situado en Botaya, al suroeste de Jaca, en la provincia de Huesca, fue el monasterio más importante de Aragón en la alta Edad Media. En su Panteón Real fueron enterrados un buen número de reyes de Aragón. Forma parte del camino aragonés del Camino de Santiago.
Probablemente existiera algún tipo de cenobio anterior al siglo XI, pero la construcción de mayor importancia empieza el año 1026 por iniciativa de Sancho el Mayor. En el año 1071 el rey Sancho Ramírez cede el conjunto existente a los monjes cluniacenses y favorece su reforma. En este momento se levanta el conjunto que hoy queda, en mayor o menor medida. La reforma benedictina de Cluny no podía obviar la construcción de un claustro que se finalizará ya entrado el siglo XII.
En el piso superior se encuentra el Panteón real. En él, durante cinco siglos se enterraron algunos de los monarcas de Aragón y de Navarra. Su aspecto actual data del siglo XVIII.
En San Juan de la Peña, los reyes de Aragón fueron sepultados en tumbas de piedra colocadas en tres órdenes superpuestos, desde la roca hacia afuera, presentando a la vista solo los pies del féretro. El panteón real ocupa las dependencias de la antigua sacristía de la iglesia alta, que data del siglo XI; fue reformado por Carlos III en 1770, siguiendo las indicaciones de don José Nicolás de Azara y del conde de Aranda, quien quiso ser enterrado en el atrio. La reforma solo afectó a la decoración, quedando los sepulcros en el mismo lugar; se levantó delante de ellos una pared en la que se colocaron láminas de bronce con las inscripciones correspondientes, en la pared frontera se colocaron unos medallones con relieves que representan escenas de legendarias batallas.
En el claustro a finales del siglo XI hay un conjunto de capiteles de influencia jaquesa con temas de animales fantásticos y algunos motivos geométricos y vegetales donde destacan los roleos. Un segundo grupo, formado por veinte capiteles, fue encargado en el último tercio del siglo XII al llamado maestro de San Juan de la Peña, autor anónimo, también conocido como Maestro de Agüero, probablemente para sustituir otro capitel anterior. El pequeño recinto ofrecía un cerramiento diáfano en forma de arcadas separadas por columnas. Los arcos se veían rematados con cenefas con el típico taqueado jaqués.
El Maestro desarrolla un programa sobre escenas bíblicas donde aparecen entre otras el Anuncio a los pastores, la Natividad, la Anunciación, la Epifanía, el Bautismo y la Circuncisión de Jesús, la Última Cena, episodios sobre Caín y Abel, la Creación de Adán y Eva, así como su Reprobación y posterior condena al trabajo. Seguramente el maestro de Agüero solo elaboró los capiteles para dos alas del claustro ya que a finales del siglo XII el monasterio entró en franca decadencia. El programa iconográfico que plantean los 26 capiteles que conservamos parece enfocar la Salvación a través de la Fe escogiendo los episodios más significativos para ello.
Se trabaja con bajorrelieves casi todos dominados por un horror vacui muy acentuado que provoca contorsiones en algunas figuras que superan el propio marco sacando un brazo como en la escena de Jesús y los Apóstoles. Los gestos son exagerados, casi teatrales, acentuando los ojos y la boca, y confiriendo narratividad a las escenas. En cuanto a las formas, estas se someten a esquemas geométricos que dominan desde la configuración del rostro o los pliegues de los paños, hasta los movimientos de caballos o de la misma agua que se vierte de un jarro a otro.
Según la leyenda española sobre el Santo Grial, este permaneció en el monasterio, después de pasar por diversas ubicaciones como la cueva de Yebra de Basa, monasterio de San Pedro de Siresa, iglesia de San Adrián de Sásabe o la Catedral de Jaca, desde 1071 hasta 1399. La necesidad de atraer a los peregrinos a Santiago que pasaban por el cercano camino de Jaca al monasterio aconsejó que en él se ubicara la reliquia. En 1399 el rey Martín I se llevó el vaso sagrado al palacio de la Aljafería de Zaragoza, donde estuvo más de veinte años, y después de una breve estancia en Barcelona, acompañando al rey, posteriormente se trasladó a la Catedral de Valencia.
Quartzose sandstone in the Mississippian of Ohio, USA.
The Black Hand Sandstone is a prominent, cliff-forming sedimentary unit in the Mississippian of parts of eastern Ohio, USA. The type locality is Black Hand Gorge in Licking County, Ohio, where an American Indian pictograph formerly existed. The "Black Hand" was destroyed long ago by canal builders. The pictograph represented an early "highway sign" that roughly indicated directions to Flint Ridge, where arrowhead-quality flint was quarried.
The Black Hand Sandstone consists of horizontally bedded and cross-bedded quartzose sandstones, granulose sandstones, pebbly sandstones, plus minor quartz-pebble conglomerate. Stratigraphically, the unit was traditionally considered as a coarse-grained upper member of the Cuyahoga Formation (Lower Mississippian) and represented a delta deposit.
A revised understanding of the Black Hand Sandstone was published in the 2000s by West Virginia geologists. The unit is now understood to be temporally and genetically unrelated to the Cuyahoga Formation, and therefore cannot be considered one of its members. The Black Hand Sandstone is now interpreted as an incised valley fill deposit.
The Black Hand Sandstone in parts of Ohio produces some oil and natural gas. Oil drillers refer to the Black Hand as the “Big Injun Sandstone”.
Slightly yellowish-brown coloration is common in the Black Hand Sandstone - this is from limonite (FeO·OH·nH2O - hydrous iron hydroxy-oxide). In the upper half of the photo, the dark-colored crust that covers much of the yellowish-brown stained sandstone was likely formed as a combination of surficial weathering and biofilm development.
The pitting present on parts of this outcrop is a distinctive weathering style called honeycomb weathering. It is most commonly seen on steep sandstone faces. It forms by differential erosion. Slight variations in the degree of cementation causes some areas of the rock to have grains removed more quickly by erosion than other areas.
The vertical cleft at right is a joint that has been enlarged by weathering and erosion.
Stratigraphy: Black Hand Sandstone, Lower Mississippian
Locality: outcrop on the southern side of a paved bike path (formerly Baltimore & Ohio Railroad tracks) through Licking Gorge, a little downstream from Black Hand Narrows, west of the town of Toboso, far-eastern Licking County, eastern Ohio, USA

Forms of Nature #7: Hummingbird
digital collage
by Kenneth Rougeau
The seventh image in the new "Forms of Nature" series of digital collages I'm currently creating using the fantastic illustrations of Ernst Haeckel, this one created from a single hummingbird. Prints are available in my Etsy store (artfamilia). At present, I'm planning several individual pieces and one large scale triptych for the series. More to come soon!
Artist: Yvonne Domenge - Mexico
Media : Painted bronze
Much of the work of Mexican sculptor Yvonne Domenge references nature, architecture and a fascination with form and geometry. In this intense red circular form Domenge provides us with an elegant decorative form full of curves and movement. The circular form is rhythmic and undulating creating the sense of a waving motion within a contained form.
Working in materials as diverse as wood, stone, cement, clay, marble, carbon steel, porcelain, silver and resin, Domenge has had more than forty individual exhibitions and participated in close to 200 group exhibitions in cities across Mexico, the United States, Canada, China and Europe, including the Louvre Museum in Paris, France.

Sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of loose sediments. Loose sediments become hard rocks by the processes of deposition, burial, compaction, dewatering, and cementation.
There are three categories of sedimentary rocks:
1) Siliciclastic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments produced by weathering & erosion of any previously existing rocks.
2) Biogenic sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments that were once-living organisms (plants, animals, micro-organisms).
3) Chemical sedimentary rocks form by the solidification of sediments formed by inorganic chemical reactions.
Most sedimentary rocks have a clastic texture, but some are crystalline.
Seen here is conglomerate, a siliciclastic sedimentary rock consisting of a mix of large and small grains - it is poorly sorted. The larger grains (pebbles or cobbles or boulders) in conglomerates are rounded to subrounded in shape. The finer-grained matrix is usually sand or mud. Most conglomerates were deposited in stream/river environments or alluvial fan environments or some very shallow marine environments.
This specimen is unusual in that the pebbles have been cemented together by travertine - each clast is coated with a thin travertine crust. There is still significant porosity (empty space) between the pebbles. The intergranular areas lack sand or mud. In terms of the rock's origin, it's possible that hot spring water rich in dissolved calcium carbonate moved through a pebble deposit.

The abbey church is in typical southern French Romanesque style. The façade, built form 1120 to 1160, has a decorated entrance portico with three portals (the central one larger) with Corinthian columns and medieval sculpture decorations. These include, in the lower sector, a bestiary and scenes from the Old Testament; in the middle one it has statues and characters from the New Testament; the frieze and the tympana above the latter have also scenes from the same book, including the; Adoration of the Magi;, the Crucifixion of Jesus and a; Maestà.
The frieze scenes are inspired to Roman ones. The upper part of the façade had originally also a classical-inspired decoration, which has now disappeared. The bell tower dates to the 18th century.
The crypt, or lower church, dates to the early 11th century. It measures 50 by 25 meters, and occupies the whole subterranean section of the nave. In its center is the tomb of St. Giles, a medieval place of veneration until in the 16th century, his relics were moved to the Basilica of Saint Sernin at Toulouse. The upper church, with a nave and two apses, mostly belongs to the 17th-century reconstruction, aside from the massive pillars in Corinthian style.
Behind the apse are the remains of the ancient choir, which once were part of the originally longer church (98 meters instead of the current 50). Inside the northern wall of the ancient choir is a spiral staircase (now free standing) known as. Screw of St. Gilles;, dating to the 12th century, made of cantilevered stone steps. WP
Like other buildings, churches, the facade of the abbey of Saint-Gilles can be considered a true "stone book" to the faithful, often illiterate at the time of its construction. Performed by the monks of the abbey between 1120 and 1160 (40 years of work in itself), the facade remains an acknowledged masterpiece of Romanesque Provence, despite its many damage.
It offers a rich and varied program:
Lower register: bestiary , many scenes of the Old Testament .
Middle register: statues and figures of New Testament .
Frieze scenes inspired New Testament (washing of the feet of Christ ).
Ears: each tells a major step in the life of Christ (Adoration of the Magi, Crucifixion, majesty).
Architectural decorative elements are in turn inspired by the ancient art : Corinthian , base grooved , ovals and centaurs ...
Note that the complexity of this facade lies in the multiplicity of his inspirations (Roman, ancient, eastern). His general order is also largely inspired in its general rate, triumphal arches Roman presence in the region. This is also the case for including St. Trophime among others. Finally, note that the entire upper part of the facade had to present a classic design with arches has unfortunately disappeared. The gable of the present nave, only now emerging from the lower front, measure 10 m less than the original as the aisles whose presence is no longer legible.The current tower, much smaller than the previous one, was built in xvii th century in a small tower at the southern facade. It is surmounted by a graceful bell wrought iron.

An afternoon wonder around Flavigny-sur-Ozerain
Flavigny-sur-Ozerain is a commune in the French department of Côte-d'Or, in Bourgogne-Franche-Comté.
The village was awarded membership in Les Plus Beaux Villages de France ("France's most beautiful villages").
The medieval village of Flavigny is situated on a rocky spur, surrounded by three streams: the Ozerain, the Recluse and the Verpant.
The first written mention of the village of Flavigny was in the Latin form of its name, Flaviniacum, which appears in the cartulary (or charter) of the Benedictine abbey founded on the site by a certain Widerard in 719. In the mid-9th century, in response to the increasing frequency of Viking raids, the relics of Saint Reine (or Santa Regina) were removed from the nearby town of Alise to Flavigny in the hopes that they could be better protected in a more fortified setting. The relics remain in Flavigny to this day, although they travel back to Alise every fall for the celebration of the saint's feast day in early September.
The town was prosperous during the Middle Ages, catering to large numbers of pilgrims, both those who came to visit the relics of Saint Reine and those on their way to Santiago de Compostela. By the 10th century, the abbey had grown into a town, with a parish church dedicated to St. Genest in addition to the abbey church (dedicated to St Peter). During the 12th and 13th centuries, extensive fortifications were raised around the town; large portions of these walls still surround the village to this day, including the Porte du Val (which includes both an inner gate dating to the 13th century and a sixteenth-century outer gate), and the 15th century Porte du Bourg with its statue of the Virgin. Despite these fortifications, Flavigny was occupied by the English during the Hundred Years' War.
In 1632 the Ursuline convent of Flavigny was founded, and in the early 18th century a new residence for the Abbot of Flavigny was constructed. However, by that time the abbacy had become corrupt and was held by a layman who had little to do with the town. At the time of the French Revolution, there may have been as few as five monks in residence. The abbey church was probably already in ruins, although local tradition holds that it suffered damage at the hands of revolutionaries. The parish church, St. Genest, emerged from the Revolution more or less unharmed.
In the 21st century, Flavigny has fewer than 400 year-round residents, although this number increases in the summer due to the substantial number of foreigners (Swiss, American, Australian, German) who have summer homes in the village. The abbey now houses the factory which manufactures Les Anis de Flavigny, small aniseed-flavored pastilles distributed worldwide. Various artists and artisans make their homes in the village, and it has become a popular tourist destination.

When I started knitting seriously, I discovered that my grandmother, Irene, had owned a darning egg. My mother and her sisters grew up on a farm, and Mom vividly recalled her mother sitting in the evenings on the farmhouse, diligently darning socks using the wooden darner.
My aunt Kathy apparently was given the darning egg when my grandmother died in 1989, and used it in her country-eque decorated homes all over the world. So for a year I patiently hinted and pondered and "mentioned" to my aunts how much I’d like to have Grandma’s darning egg someday. Imagine my surprise when yesterday, an unknown package arrived in the mail for me. It was the darning egg from Aunt Kathy! She had decided to surprise me, instead of tormenting me with the idea of getting it one day if I was nice to her (we are all about blackmail on mom's side of the family).
This darning “egg” is actually not egg-shaped at all. It is, in fact, a foot-form wooden darner, a design that was patented in Nov. 1907 and was commonly used in the early to mid-20th century. It has the words “FOOT-FORM” stamped across its top, and you can clearly see how much it was used by the tiny scrapes in the wood. I’m glad to see that these antique foot form “eggs” are often found on eBay for rather affordable prices, so that anyone, if they like, can own a little piece of history.
Grandma married my grandfather, Pap-Pap, in 1945, and they left the farm life and moved to the “city” in 1957, when my mother, the middle child, was 9. They bought their first house for $3,000 and were thrilled to have indoor plumbing. I’m sure that my grandmother used this darner for many more years of her life, however. I'll treasure it always.
This is a unique shape i found in the Red Dot Design Museum. It made great use of Light so did I make use of it.
