Craige reckons it looks like I'm wearing a bib. After 6 months in storage, first time wearing. Now to decide whether to keep it or sell it on eBay. Still have the tags on it!
i always add some extra doodles with your order from my shop.

So a bunch of the ball joints finally arrived. I’ve actually been buying from different sources over the past week hoping at least one of them arrived earlier than the other. Turns out though, they ALL came on the same day.
One of the things I was looking forward to was the “Light Flesh” ball joints which luckily match my Twilight dolls really well so both Victoria and Jasper got elbows and wrists.
I also got some Obitsu brand Flesh coloured ball joints too and while they’re only comprised of two parts instead of three they’re functionally the same as the Hobby Base ball joints. I used some 8mm ones for Steve Trevor’s hands, and some to give my Curvy Barbie jointed ankles and her original feet bringing her down closer to her original height.
I also got some dark grey ball joints in hopes that it doesn’t look too bad with my Zig Zag fashionista doll. The colour match is waaaay off but I like how close the shades are to each other. I may try tinting the joints with brown ink to better match her.
And I also got some 1/100 scale jointed “Mechanical Hands” by Hobby Base for my Obitsu/Allan hybrid. I’ll do a separate post for him but yeah.
Taking one more order for August. Will be the same except with the Parisian Floral paper from the "Parisian Cottage" in stead of this paper. This paper is out of stock. I will only be building ONE.
I have had a lot of emails and messages since this one sold asking for another so that's why I am offering it. xoxoxo
PLEASE NOTE this will be my last August slot and then I will be taking a break from commissions for a while.
Deep in the heart of Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, Suleiman and his Bedouin tribe are the inheritors of a sacred and ancient charge from the Byzantine Emperor Justinian: Protect St. Katherine's Monastery. The tribe's most ancient ancestors were a garrison of imperial, Christian soldiers he sent for that purpose and, though their descendants later converted to Islam, they never forgot their duty to protect the monks of the Holy Mountain.
Many centuries slipped by. Sometimes the Bedouin protected the monks and sometimes the monks defended them. When I visited in 2010, the monks of St. Katherine's Monastery were advocating for Bedouin rights. With the arrival of al Qaeda after the Arab Spring, the monks’ future was again uncertain.
The message of peace that this order of monks has dedicated themselves to echoes down the ages, but what does the future hold for the special, ancient relationship between monk and Bedouin?

POSITIVE DISCRIMINATION IN UNIVERSITIES in the Communist Countries:
-------------------------------------
An example of a "Technical Drawing" Selection Test: the candidate was given five hours to produce an ink drawing, entirely in free hand, from a picture which he had to enlarge 1.5 times. The picture above is a genuine article (Romania 1959)
--------------------------------
There were only 60 places nation-wide for admission to the school of Architecture in Bucharest, in the "People's Republic (later the Socialist Republic) of Romania, a country of some 20 million inhabitants.
Each year the number of applicants were in the upper hundreds, an average of 10 to 15 candidates for each place.
After the Hungarian revolution of 1956 and during the peak of the Cold War an acerbate discrimination process was waged against children from a middle class background (the upper class by that time all but disappeared in the gulags and on the factory floors or rice paddies like during the Chinese Cultural revolution).
In practice the University entry selection had TWO phases or two rounds of admission exam:
The earlier round of admission exams was intended SOLELY for those candidates considered of coming from a "Healthy social class" that was the "politically correct" class (in today's parlance - call it workers and peasant's children, without the discomfort of competition of those children considered more gifted as they came from the "unhealthy social class" (origina sociala nesanatoasa) or the middle class of professionals (scientists, academics, teachers, office clerks, etc). furthermore, the "healthy class" progeny candidates who failed the first round of exams were allowed to compete again some two weeks later, in the second round, that is to be given a second chance to get in, yet this time having to compete against all other candidates...
The exams were structured in two groups: a first tier the "technical drawing test" such as this, where the applicant was given five hours to enlarge by 150% a picture showing a classical order(see above) and to draw it to scale in ink.
The second test involved also a classical drawing, this time from a plaster cast and it had to be drawn in pencil on a large piece of paper some 20 inches by 30 inches.
Those who would pass the first two tests were admitted to the second tier of tests which involved both written and oral maths and physics exams.
Furthermore to the above there was a quantum based on social and political positive discrimination in favour of the children from peasant and working class background and of those children whose parents were part of the communist party apparatus.
In addition, if for example you had a close family member in prison, or exiled in the West, or if your family had their house, land or business nationalised/expropriated, than you might just as well not have a hope in hell to become an architect in Romania!
NOTE that in secondary schools the national curriculum was not geared to the level required for admission to the School of Architecture in Bucharest, so parents had to pay "blood money" for private tuition, in order to improve their children chance at passing the disqualifying tests. Private tuition was nearly unaffordable in a communist society, where wages were at the survival level (except for the communist fat cats) and it was the privilege of a restricted circle of academics from the school of Architecture to profit financially from such a corrupt system by preparing the candidates for the exams!
The chances of any child whose parents were from the professional middle classes and were not communist party card-holders to be admitted at the school were absolutely NIL.
Finally the privileged few who were admitted to the school, selected on positive discrimination criteria, had later on, during their professional life, the opportunity, at best, to build chicken coops and silos for state farms, concrete tenements in the cities for the under dogs and especially the task of razing to the ground historical monuments, churches, city centres and villages in order to make room for the dictator's pharaoh ideas of planning architecture during the dark ages of the 1970s and 1980s.
NOTE: after the so-called 'revolution' which put down the Ceausescu couple in a coup-de-palais, the same crop of architects who were selected on the basis of positive discrimination to qualify professionally benefited from the spoils of opportunities to demolish historic buildings and replace them, wantonly with glass and steel structures in the best tradition of Cultural Terrorism

There is a continuing debate among theoretical physicists about how the stuff (matter/energy) of the universe could have originated of its own accord, out of 'nothing' (the elusive, so-called ‘theory of everything’). However, the most important question in this debate: Where did information come from? Has been largely ignored, but this is absolutely CRUCIAL - because the universe, as we know it, could not exist without information. The laws of nature, are indicative of order, they govern and control the whole material universe, and extremely complex information is essential for all life.
Information is rightly called the third fundamental property of the universe.
So we have to wonder why the crucial question of the origin of information is excluded from the 'theory of everything' debate?
Without a credible explanation of the origin of information - any proposed theory of 'everything' would, in fact, be a theory of 'nothing' ... and absolutely useless.
Life requires information from the very outset, even the tiniest, most primitive cell is packed with complex information (coded in DNA), and the means of interpreting it.
Life could not exist without information. The first life on earth (regardless of how you believe it originated) needed complex information right from the very start, this is certain and beyond any dispute.
So how did information arise in the first life? Was the information for life just floating about in the ether waiting to alight on the right mixture of chemicals in some primordial soup? I think not! (but atheists have not yet proposed any better explanation).
However, even if such an incredible thing were possible, the question would still remain as to how this information originated within the universe? Where did it come from, and why? Hence for any atheist, the origin of DNA code itself, and the information it contains, is an impossible dilemma.
The unanswerable question for atheism is, which came first, information or matter?
Information cannot possibly create itself, but neither can matter. To suggest that either of them originated, of their own accord, from nothing, is self-evidently, utter nonsense and completely unscientific.
(Atheists will never be able to answer this question because the only logical option is - - a non-contingent first cause of all the material realm, which is eternally pre-existent, intelligent, non-material and therefore not subject to natural laws which govern all natural entities, i.e. a Supernatural Creator God).
Amazingly, we were told by ‘experts’ in 2004 that the discovery of the simple sugar glycoldehide in a gas cloud (known as Sagittarius B2 allegedly detected light years away in the middle of our galaxy) could explain the origin of DNA & life. (Daily Mirror newspaper, UK, 22/9/2004)
This is comparable to claiming that, if a component for making ink were to be discovered in outer space, it would explain how the complete works of Shakespeare could have originated spontaneously, of their own accord - and some people call that science - - incredible!
Make no mistake, atheism is just another religion.
Atheists are very fond of telling us what they don’t believe, but just what do they believe?
Because they reject an eternal, pre-existent, non-material first cause, every atheist is obliged to believe the preposterous notion that, the potential and information for life, as well as all the laws of nature, must have been an intrinsic property of the first matter/energy, when this matter/energy arose by its own power, and of its own volition, out of absolutely nothing, at the beginning of everything!!!! (albeit contrary to logic, common sense, and the laws of nature that govern all matter).
Surely this must be the ultimate miracle to outdo all other miracles.
Supporters of this bizarre, magical belief are very fond of describing atheism as “the only rational viewpoint,” - - -
They call such a belief rational? - - -
What do you think?
Atheists cannot accept that any information pre-existed the material. Therefore, matter not only had to create itself, but also its own governing laws & information, from nothing, and so the god of the atheist religion of naturalism is credited with even more creative powers than those usually attributed to an eternally pre-existing, Supernatural God.
In other words, ‘matter’ is automatically ascribed by atheist belief as a self-created, intelligent entity.
(This is completely contrary to logic, and to natural laws which describe the inherent properties and behaviour of matter and all natural occurrences, without exception).
“It’s just unbelievable what unbelievers are willing to believe, in order to be unbelievers” (Dr. Duane Gish)
Consider this ...
Long, long, long ago, in an eternal void of nothingness, a tiny cosmic egg arose of its own volition. Then, all of a sudden, the egg accidentally exploded and proceeded to expand until it became the whole universe and everything within it.
(This is the atheistic, ‘Big Bang’, fairy story of creation in a nutshell - - - or should that be eggshell?). But where could this cosmic egg have come from? - - - who knows? - - - perhaps a cosmic chicken laid it? - - - if so - - - where did the cosmic chicken come from? - - - don’t even ask! - - - because the only thing we are absolutely sure of is that we are still waiting for any ‘Big Bang’ supporter to propose a better solution. - - - Please don’t hold your breath!
The best they have come up with so far, is that the 'nothing' in which the cosmic egg emerged, wasn't really nothing, but 'something', i.e. SPACE. But, any fool can see that this is just a device to make a ridiculous belief sound plausible. It is obviously not plausible, because they then have to explain how space (which is not nothing, but just a part of the contingent, material realm) originated, which takes the whole ridiculous idea back to square one.
Since information is not a physical element (and as information is a fundamental constituent of the universe and an essential feature of all life) to assert that the universe is composed solely of matter and energy is clearly wrong.
The speculated ‘Big Bang’ explosion is an accidental, purposeless and destructive event, with no directing, informational component whatsoever. As it is not possible for such a ‘Big Bang’ or any other undirected release of energy to create useful information (or any sort of order) it is patently obvious that this ‘Big Bang’ story of creation is erroneous.
Where has wisdom gone?
For all our modern knowledge and technology, ancient man had a wisdom in these matters which far surpasses modern ideas.
It is now almost 2 thousand years ago that Christ's Apostle John delivered the ultimate ‘theory of everything’. He understood (like many of his predecessors) that the most important factor in the question of origins is information: “In the beginning was the word” [(word: logos) = information]. John 1; 1. (the 'Word' is applied by John to Jesus Christ as true God and true man - meaning the universe was created by the Word (Jesus), by means of God's word - intelligent, constructive information).
All sensible people realise that information just had to come first, nothing constructive or creative can occur without information. Science tells us that, any input of raw energy alone, tends to increase entropy. Only organised or directed energy (energy with an informational component) can temporarily reverse or reduce the effects of entropy.
Without information, nothing material could exist in its present form.
Information derives only from an intelligent source, so only information from a pre-existing, supernatural, intelligent source could bring everything material into being, organise and control its construction and behaviour, and maintain its continued existence.
So the essential, single, first cause had to be both uncaused and intelligent.
There is no other logical option.
Belief in God did not just evolve (as some atheists keep telling us) as a means for ‘ignorant’, ‘primitive’, ‘superstitious’ humans to explain things they could not understand.
On the contrary, ancient man (from the time of Adam) fully understood (better than many of the so-called experts today) that the material universe does not contain within itself any possible means of creating itself and its essential, regulatory information, out of nothing.
A non-contingent, pre-existing, supernatural (non-material), eternal, infinite and omnipotent force had to be responsible for creating it. An essential element of that force is a supreme intelligence which has to be the original source of all information.
“ALL THINGS WERE MADE BY HIM; AND WITHOUT HIM WAS NOT ANY THING MADE THAT WAS MADE. IN HIM WAS LIFE
AND THE LIFE WAS THE LIGHT OF MEN” John 1: 3-4.
In this computer age, people are again beginning to understand the particular relevance of information.
A computer (the hardware) processes and stores information (the software). Without any software programming, the hardware would be useless.
As Chuck Missler points out in his book ‘Cosmic Codes; “software has no mass. (its embodiment may have weight, but the software doesn’t. It simply codes information)”.
A computer disk loaded with a million bytes of software will weigh no more than a blank disk and the information it contains can be sent invisibly through the airwaves from one point to another.
To quote Chuck Missler again “if you and I were meeting face-to-face, I would still not be able to see the real you. I would only see the temporary residence you are occupying. The real you, your personality - - call it soul, spirit, whatever - - is not visible. It is software not hardware. The codes - - your history, your accumulated responses to the events of your life, your attitudes - - are all simply informational, not physical. It is software only and software has no mass”. According to Einstein, time is a physical property - - - “that which has no mass has no time. You are eternal, that is what the Bible has declared all along. You are eternal whether you like it or not” Chuck Missler, Cosmic Codes. 1999. Koinonia house.
The information for life ....
Atheists and evolutionists have no idea how the first, genetic information originated. They claim the spontaneous generation of life (abiogenesis) is an established scientific fact, but this is completely disingenuous. Apart from the fact that abiogenesis violates the Law of Biogenesis, the Law of Cause and Effect and the Second Law of Thermodynamics, it also violates Information Theory.
Atheists and evolutionists have an enormous problem with explaining how the DNA code originated. However that is not the major problem. The impression is given to the public, that evolutionists only have to find an explanation for the origin of DNA by natural processes - and the problem of the origin of genetic information will have been solved. That is a confusion in the minds of many people that evolutionists cynically exploit. It is far from the truth, as they very well know.
Explaining how DNA was formed by chemical processes, explains only how the information storage medium was formed, it tells us nothing about the origin of the information it carries.
To clarify this it helps to compare DNA to other information, storage mediums.
For example, if we compare DNA to the written word, we understand that the alphabet is a tangible medium for storing, recording and expressing information, it is not information in itself. The information is recorded in the sequence of letters, forming meaningful words.
You could say that the alphabet is the 'hardware' created from paper and ink, and the sequential arrangement of the letters is the software. The software is a mental construct, not a physical one.
The same applies to DNA. DNA is not information of itself, just like the alphabet it is the medium for storing and expressing information. It is an amazingly efficient storage medium. However, it is the sequence or arrangement of the amino acids which is the actual information, not the DNA code.
So, if evolutionists are ever able to explain how DNA was formed by chemical processes, it would explain only how the information storage medium was formed. It will tell us nothing about the origin of the information it carries. Therefore, when atheists and evolutionists tell us it is only a matter of time before 'science' will be able to fill the 'gaps' in our knowledge and explain the origin of genetic information, they are not being honest. Explaining the origin of the 'hardware' by natural processes is an entirely different matter to explaining the origin of the software.
Next time you hear atheists skating over the problem of the origin of genetic information with their usual bluff and bluster, and parroting their usual nonsense about science being able to fill such gaps in knowledge in the future, don't be fooled. They cannot explain the origin of genetic information, and never will be able to. The software cannot be created by chemical processes or the interaction of energy and matter, it is not possible. If you don't believe that. then by all means put it to the test, by challenging any atheist or evolutionist to explain how genetic information (not DNA) can originate by natural means?

Netrium digitus es un désmido de cuerpo contenido y simple, uno de los géneros más primitivos del grupo, que extiende sus contornos continuados sin hacer una parada en el estrecho itsmo que caracteriza a la mayoría de los representantes de este gran grupo de algas. Este estrechamiento propio de géneros como Micrasterias, Euastrum, Cosmarium y tantos otros, facilita el que la reproducción asexual se pueda producir rápidamente porque la célula ya está hendida exactamente por la mitad y bastará un pequeño esfuerzo para que se abra en dos por esta fisura para multiplicarse.
En Netrium esa división es algo diferente y el esfuerzo es algo mayor porque ese itsmo no existe...pero parece no importar demasiado, porque estos désmidos primitivos de la familia de las mesoteniáceas han tenido mucho éxito en la evolución y han podido sobrevir sin muchas dificultades y extenderse por todo el planeta, con la única condición de que las aguas sean algo ácidas y de esta manera Netrium digitus es una de las especies más comunes en este tipo de ambientes.
Basta sólo observar con un poco de detenimiento a esta alga para descubrir que bajo su corteza discreta y transparente Netrium encierra las recortadas formas de sus cloroplastos desflecados, que se extienden de extremo a extremo entre verdes ensenadas y abruptos cabos que se asoman al infinito del agua que los rodea. Suelen ser seis láminas, que se recortan escalonadamente a izquierda y derecha con los bordes levantados alternamente. Una arquitectura incomparable para poder aprovechar mejor la luz del sol y todo con mucha discreción.
Dentro, también, Netrium digitus guarda el misterio de un secreto, algo sorprendente que no vemos y que debemos contar…uno a uno. Con su modestia habitual, Netrium digitus bate un récord en el reino vegetal y es que, a pesar de su diminuto tamaño, cada célula de esta pequeña alga encierra el mayor número de cromosomas encontrado hasta ahora en cualquier ser vivo vegetal.
Son 592 cromosomas en cada célula haploide, uno a uno con sus mensajes de vida…esto significa que en algunos momentos de su existencia, llegan a ser 1184 los cromosomas que entran en juego en su reproducción. A todo hay quien gane...y nosotros tan solo veintitrés pares.
