Synopsis
First Published in 1998. Routledge is an imprint of Taylor & Francis, an informa company.
We've all experienced those moments in life when we feel that we are in an "in-between" but where we don't really know where we fit into this in-between. In her conversation with Mary Alice Arthur, Heather Plett helps us to better understand the nature of these liminal spaces, these "in-between" spaces. My sketchnotes.

★What IS THE INTERNATIONAL FIBER COLLABORATIVE?
As the leading voice for collaborative public art projects around the world, the International Fiber Collaborative is dedicated to promoting understanding and appreciation of contemporary art & craft through educational experiences. We are committed to developing vital education programs that elevate, expand, modernize and enhance the image of collaboration and education today.
★WHAT IS THE DREAM ROCKET PROJECT?
The Dream Rocket Team is collecting nearly 8,000 artworks from participants around the globe. The artwork will be assembled together to create a massive cover in which will wrap a 37 story Saturn V Moon Rocket at the U.S. Space & Rocket Center in Huntsville, Alabama. We will also be displaying submitted artwork in dozens of national venues prior to the wrapping of the Saturn V. Additionally, we are posting images of submitted artwork & their stories on our Website, Flickr, and Facebook.The Dream Rocket project uses the Saturn V Moon Rocket as a symbolism of universal values of the human spirit. Optimism, hope,
caring for our natural resources, scientific exploration, and harnessing technological advancements for a better quality of life while safeguarding our communities, are all common desires across national and international boundaries. Participants are able to express and learn about these values through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, participants are asked to write an essay explaining their artwork, and the dream theme in which they chose.
★How can I Participate & Have my Artwork Displayed?
The Dream Rocket project would like to challenge you to ‘Dare to Dream’. To dream about your future and the future of our world through dream themes such as health, community, conservation, science, technology, space, peace, and so on. We would like you to use your selected Dream Theme to express, explore, and create your vision on your section of the wrap. We hope that you are able to express and learn through this creative collaboration. With the completion of each artwork, you are asked to write a brief essay explaining your artwork, and the dream theme in which you chose.
“The Saturn V is the ideal icon to represent a big dream. This rocket was designed and built as a collaboration of nearly half-a-million people and allowed our human species to venture beyond our world and stand on ANOTHER - SURELY one of the biggest dreams of all time. ENABLING THE DREAMS of young people to touch this mighty rocket sends a powerful message in conjunction with creating an educational curriculum to engage students to embrace the power of learning through many important subjects”
-Neil deGrasse Tyson, Director of the Hayden Planetarium, New York

Urban Theology: In the Beginning - Bishop Porteous
Get thee to our big launch - and what better topic for a debut than the origins of humanity and our universe?
It's fertile theological ground for our much respected speaker, Bishop Julian Porteous, the Episcopal Vicar for Renewal and Evangelisation, and the Rector of the Seminary of the Good Shepherd.
Who were Adam and Eve? Did humans evolve from bacteria? What does the Church teach about the Big Bang Theory? What is "Intelligent Design"?
At Urban Theology, we approach even these trickiest of topics in a thoughtful but practical way. So even after the most brain-frying day at work, you'll learn at least the basics, what the Church thinks - and hopefully inspire your theological curiosity for more!
So grab a table, some of the best Thai in the city, and mix it with other young adult Catholics over Tuesday Night Special drinks at the Brooklyn!

The world of licensing is a strange, strange place. While there are examples of strange things everywhere, this little review focuses on the world of Persona 4.
The short version is, based on my understanding, if you wanted a collection of the main cast of Persona 4 and their Persona, you basically need to buy a combination of Figma, D-Arts, and fixed statues. Furthermore, you have accept that some are based on their Anime looks, and some their P4A video game appearance.
Now, maybe I'm wrong and that the various license holders just gave up on doing a full line, or maybe Atlus really did piecemeal this property out like this... I'll never actually know, but I'm too pretty to care.
Which brings me to this review, Figma Yukiko and D-Arts Konohana Sakuya.
Yukiko is one of the main heroines in the game. The daughter of the owner of a popular inn located in Inaba (the setting of Persona 4), Yukiko is the quiet, studious girl of series, who dreams of life outside the town and is deadly in the kitchen.. because apparently she can't cook.
Yes, that's a relevant fact, especially if you play the game.
Konohana Sakuya is, of course, her initial Persona. It's some weird bird/flower thing... there's no real simple way to describe the design. I believe that this Persona is aligned with the element of Fire, but again, it's been a long time so I can't remember for sure.
The Figma releases (Yu, Chie, and Yukiko) are, I believe, based on their appearances in the Persona 4 Anime series. Based on stills I've seen, I feel that the figure captures this art style very well, especially with the more slim aesthetic of the Figma 1.0 body.
Yukiko comes with several expressions, her trusty fan, a slash effect, and two pairs of glasses - I think both are meant for use so the team can see Shadows, the enemies in this game, but obviously one is worn for shits and giggles. Even with the "limited" articulation of the 1.0 body, Yukiko's graceful frame can be posed in a variety of character accurate positions. QC, of course, is top notch with no real complaints.
Now, while Yukiko here was a chance purchase, Konohana Sakuya is a bit more interesting. Apparently, unlike Figuarts, released Figuarts are either really cheap, or horribly expensive in the aftermarket. This one definitely falls into the former, as I was able to get it for $25 CAD after one of those eBay coupons, shipped with tracking, all the way from Hong Kong to Canada.
Naturally, I was intrigued as to what was wrong with the thing, and ordered one to complement my Yukiko.
I think the best way to describe the final product is - ambitious.
The set comes with the figure, several wing segments, and a dynamic stand.
The good news is that it appears the two scale very well with one another. Adding to the favour of this union is the fact that Konohana Sakuya doesn't stand on the ground - she floats.
The base figure itself is very solid, and much better than Jiraiya in terms of QC... but lets face it, its pretty damn hard to top a screw up like painting so much your head get stuck to your body. The included stand isn't bad, but I seem to recall that the joint isn't quite strong enough in some positions to hold the main figure in the air.
Those wings, however, are where the ambitious comment comes to light. Each wing segment is made up of translucent plastic, and theoretically are jointed such that you can do all sorts of pretty things with them, as indicated on the back of the box. The reality is, the wings are a pain in the ass to pose and join together, and once you get it a certain way you probably don't want to screw around with them anymore. Furthermore, you might notice that the wings are actually mounted on a separate arm on the stand, with two sections connected to the forearms of the figure itself, making for more fun as you struggle to connect joints, praying you don't break the things in the meantime.
But you know what? As awkward as the process was, I truly did appreciate the effort put into trying to duplicate those crazy wings seen in the video game.
Compared to the other releases under the Persona 4 D-Arts line, unless there was some major size differences, this Persona probably gave designers the greatest headache and was worth its weight in gold more, as it were. But, collectors of this sort of stuff are a fickle bunch, so I'm guessing that this Persona probably lost the popularity contest.
So that was the pairing of Yukiko and Konohana Sakuya in figure form. Maybe one day, I'll find the rest of the crew... or at least get the pairing of my favorite carnivore, Chie, and her Persona.

Mechademia is an academic conference dedicated to the understanding of manga and anime, which communicates with and presents the work of anime/manga artists, authors, publishers, and academics. The conference's third day is devoted to exploring connections between fashion/lifestyle and/or costume and anime and/or manga.
A significant part of this day is the runway fashion show—Full Fashion Panic! The mission of this fashion show is to visually explore the connections between anime/manga/pop culture and fashion and introduce alternative, indie and up and coming designers to the community and fashion industry. This is a showcase of street fashion capsule collections inspired by Japanese street styles.
This year, each designer was asked to take the theme "Science Fiction" and dress a world they created.
I thought it would be worthwhile from time to time to use my comics to explain legal jargon to laypeople. Chances are, they won't realize that I don't understand what most of it means either.
My friend Leme needed a few headshots done immediately, so we went to the local park and snapped these. He was very cooperative and understanding, as I've never been asked by a friend to take their pictures before. :)
