I just finished reading "The Genius of Dogs" by Brian Hare (brianhare.net/the-genius-of-dogs/). It was a fascinating look at how the cognitive abilities of dogs do warrant a status of exceptional intelligence. Though obviously their smarts seem lesser when compared to our own, it's usually based on our tests. Or to quote Albert Einstein, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.”
One obviously bad test in that spirit is how well these canines are at helping me work.
I had a horrible headache today, one of those lightning-bolt-down-the-side-of-your-head / vice-grip-on-your-temples kind. 4 of the 5 dogs I'm babysitting this week decided today was the perfect day for marathon barking sessions. I wasn't happy. But here's the strange thing: Norm is usually the worst dog for barking - in volume, octive and volume. In fact, Buhunds were bred for barking.
But for some reason, he seemed particularly sensitive to my pain today (very out of character). He insisted on lying on top of me (his way of showing affection) while I worked.
Sure, I couldn't use the laptop while he licked my one hand, and insisted on getting pet with the other. And he was absolutely useless helping me figure out how to sort based on a complicated sub-query. But I'd say he helped me in a different way, based on a different test, by showing me some love, not to mention not barking (even with obnoxious screaming neighbourhood kids running around just outside the window and construction going on down the street).
Best assistant, ever.
(Tucker, the Jack Russel also pictured, was not helpful. Totally part of the problem. But he's cute, and somehow never misses a photo-op.)

The clip of the eye mech that holds the arc broke off. Can anyone tell me if I can fix this or do I need to replace it? If replacing it is my only option, can I use an eye mech other than BL/ EBL? Thank you in advance for any help.

So, um, help! I don't think I'm "satisfied". I've redone the darts a million times and I can only seam to get anything ressembling normal when I do two at the side like this. Is that weird? I'm afraid to just go ahead and make the pattern (yeah, I've never sewn darts, but let's cross that bridge later), because I hate to waste time and fabric if this is just complete, ridiculously wrong.
Please give it to me straight. I can take it! What the heck and I doing wrong?
And, really, is it smart to make this dress on my body shape in home decorator's weight fabric? I thought the home decor would be fine because it's kind of like quilting cotton + lining, with the lining already built in. But I'm worried that if I can't make the darts look halfway decent in the muslin that problems could be amplified in the heavier weight home decor? I don't know.
If I look like I'm ready to give up in that picture, it's because I am.

An aerial view of the Celanese Corporation textile plant in Cumberland Maryland by Fairchild Aerial Surveys January 2, 1948.
Important strikes at the plant took place in 1936 and 1939 that resulted in the unionization of 10,000 production workers and helped create a key union leader, George A. Meyers.
Meyers helped lead the in-plant organizing and led a number of sit-down strikes within the plant. He would go on to become president of the local union and, in 1941, president of the Maryland and District of Columbia Industrial Union Council of the Congress of Industrial Organizations (CIO).
Meyers joined the Communist Party during the fight to organize the union at Celanese and as president of the MD-DC CIO, led the fight to integrate basic industry—overseeing the successful efforts to integrate the Celanese and Kelly-Springfield plants in Cumberland, Glen L. Martin aircraft factory in Middle River and the Bethlehem-Fairfield shipyard in Baltimore.
Efforts throughout World War II by the CIO to desegregate jobs within the Bureau of Engraving in federal government and the Capital Transit Company in Washington, D.C. were waged in earnest but were ultimately less successful. The CIO also played a key role in the fight against police brutality in the District of Columbia in 1941.
After World War II, the onset of the cold war led to the expulsion of Communist Party members from most unions, including the Textile Workers.
Meyers went to jail for 3 ½ years for his membership in the Communist Party in the 1950s but went on to head the Party’s labor activities until his death in 1999.
The Celanese plant at its peak employed 13,000 workers producing materials made from synthetic fiber and closed in 1983.

mutual cuddles and affections.
outside kitty has grown exponentially affectionate.
he won't eat until he's had his cuddles and pettings.
i still don't know what to call him.
he doesn't really respond to anything, but in my mind
he'll always be "band-aid".
in other news, not a day goes by where i don't think of my other kitty.
it's become easier, but yesterday, a sympathy card from the vet reminded me.
as a sweet and sentimental gesture, they included a clay circle that had
Rocky's name imprinted on it with a generic paw print in the middle.
my initial feelings were: you have no right to send me this generic nonsense.
why do people do this? because with that token, and that card came flooding back
all the memories of Rocky's last day on this planet. they way i held him as he died.
how light and hollow his lifeless body felt, and how i kissed his soul-less head
for the last time before burying him. the feeling of just how limp he was, still warm - yet
gone forever. and the overwhelming feeling of wanting to just stand there holding
him forever, unable to let go completely just yet.
the image of his body lying in the ground is burned into my memory.
and while most of the time my thoughts of him are the happier ones,
receiving a card from the very veterinary clinic that helped me end his life became suddenly
overwhelming. it hasn't even been a full month yet, but i miss my little buddy so very much.
i still step wide over his favorite sleeping spots, or think that movements i see out of the
corner of my eye are him, or worst of all - expect him to be laying by the door waiting for
me when i come home.
after wrestling with these thoughts, i decided that they honestly didn't mean any harm
by it. it's good business after all, and all the signatures on the card were real and not
printed - so that means something, right?
i put the token on my bookshelf, next to the photo of Miss Sweetie Pie and
the snippet of Rocky's fur that i clipped just before his final hours.
a few minutes and a million thoughts later, i grabbed a can of cat food for outside kitty.
when i opened the door, i took one step and opened my mouth ready to call out to him -
but there he was. sitting outside the door, already waiting.
when he saw me he jumped up and meowed loudly whilst rubbing against my legs.
i dumped the food out for him, but he didn't go for it immediately.
instead he rolled around in front of me baring his belly, jumping up on occasion
to head butt my kneecaps. i sat down next to him and we enjoyed each other's
company for about fifteen minutes. i always know when he's hungry, but as i said
earlier, he doesn't eat until we've had "our time". sometimes i have to instruct him
as to when "our time" is over by picking him up, giving him kisses and scritches as
diagrammed in the photo above, and setting him next to his food.
i don't know where he came from, but i think i know why.
he is beautiful, and amazing, and so affectionate.

Can you help this cat?
Months ago, I walked around my neighborhood and a pretty cat followed me. Yesterday, I saw it in the front yard. This Miu is very skinny, it has some wounds on the back and 2 ears. I think it has been abandoned for months. It rained yesterday and was so cold. I only could bring Miu a lottle box, towel, blanket, food and milk. I put the box under the eaves and Miu slept (warm and dry) in the box last night. I cannot take Miu to the house because it is not mine.
I do not call animal control because I heard that they would kill the animal then. Can you help this cat? Please share this. Thank you! <3
Early doors boxing day found me down the beach with the kids for the annual, Tenby, Boxing Day Swim.
AROUND-THE-WORLD adventurer Rosie Swale Pope led hundreds of bathers into the sea for yesterday’s Tenby Boxing Day Swim.
The event, organised by the Tenby Sea Swimming Association and sponsored by cottage letting agency FBM Holidays, has helped five charities this year, including Barnardo’s Cymru, the British Retinitis Pigmentosa Society, Plant Dewi, Sandy Bear and Friends and the Tinkers Hill Trust.
Partygoers arrived at North Beach at 11am to watch the swim and enjoy a raft race, sailing and canoe races, a lifeboat launch and fancy dress parade.
Commemorative medals were presented to all swimmers, who dried off around a beach bonfire.
THE fund set-up to raise money in memory of murdered newlyweds Ben and Catherine Mullany has topped more than £33,000.
The couple, both 31 and from Pontardawe, Swansea Valley, were shot on the last day of their honeymoon on the Caribbean island of Antigua in July.
Making their last stand in helper service, a pair of SD40-2's shove on the rear of 18G at Lily, Pa. Replacements are coming soon from Juniata in the form of SD40E's.
This is Haiti, an year and a half after the earthquake. It is estimated that 70% of the buildings in Haiti were damaged in the earthquake.
From Lumpini Park. Every time I ride the BTS by Lumpini Park (and when I was photographing the park) I see this big Oregon sign in the window. Being an Oregon Duck expat in Bangkok has my curiosity piqued. Why is it there? What does it represent? Is it a gathering place to watch the Quack Attacks? Anyone out there know? Thanks.

I can't find this anywhere....the closest I could find is a skipper outfit made of the same material
OK...so here's the story.
I bought these vintage glass floor protectors and wanted to make a paper weight so I put a fab collage in the bottom and poured my resin - I work with resin in it's thin form (on my dominoes) all the time so I can handle this, right? Wrong! I hit it with the heat gun to release the bubbles and more came up so I hit it with the heat again...more popped...then it instantly hardened! (ok, in the span of about 15 minutes) It was super cloudy with bubbles so I pulled the hard center part out and repoured a thinner layer...hence the super sloppy look. AND STILL THE BUBBLES!
Will someone please help a girl out? Why does resin harden so fast if it's a thick pour but it takes all freakin night if it's a thin coat?
**So my conclusion is that I should pour thin layers and let them harden...to get the thickness I want...or...is there a better way? I use Envirotex Lite.
