Years from now I may forget this time of my life. I'm trying to learn really effective ways of saving money without giving up quality of food. I'm learning a lot of different techniques. I think it will be cool to one day look back and see that it started with burritos.
This is a very special project, just let me explain.
The table cloth on this picture is the very last thing on which my Mum was working just before she died in May 2002. Well, actually she had to set the embroidery aside a couple of weeks before that. I guess it must have become really too hard on her around March, just before her birthday. I don't really remember and in fact the exact moment does not really matter. What I do remember is how painful and difficult it was for her to breathe, eat or simply sit on the sofa. She had kidney cancer and the last months of her life were truly dreadful. For her obviously - but also for my brother, for her friends and for myself.
As it shows, she was a very good embroiderer. There are of course imperfections in the stitches, but she was taking tons of drugs at that time : cortisone, morphine and hundreds of other things with uggly names on the boxes. I still can't believe how she could manage to do what she did with a tiny needle and some thread. She knew she was dying and I can only imagine how it felt for her to work on this piece, not knowing for sure if she'd have the time to finish it or not. But she must have known that even if she finished it, there would be no birthday meals on it, no tea parties with friends, just maybe some drawer in her son's or daughter's house. A sort of reminder, kind of.
Or perhaps she just wanted to keep her spirits high, suffering that much and facing the terrible truth that summer would not shine for her anymore. She was a fantastically brave woman all her life so it's no wonder she kept being brave until the very last moment of it. I've always tryed to focus on this message she was giving : where there's life, there should always be hope. And creativity.
Well, when she died, I emptied the house and stored everything in my place. My brother was not ready to split her things and I waited for almost 4 years before he could find the strength to decide what was to be kept and what was not. This is why the table cloth stayed a long time in her embroidery basket, untouched.
Two years ago, I tried to take it out. But it was really a bad, bad, bad time at the time and I couldn't unfold it. All I could do was try to wash it, because it was still stinking morphine and I just couldn't stand it. All the pattern lines went out, but the rust stains remained. So I folded it again and put it back in her basket.
And this Saturday, it started snowing. This winter reminds me so much of the winter before she died. Same weather, same snow. My embroidery class was cancelled, due to very poor traffic condition. As I was sitting in my armchair, wondering what I'd do, it struck me that it could be time for me to finish Mum's last embroidery work.
I took it out, copied the pattern, transfered it on the table cloth and started filling the empty zones with the best matching thread I could find.
These are the unedited pictures of the work. I think I'll give Mum's last embroidery to my brother for Christmas. I have other embroidered works from my Mum, and I think it would be nice for him to keep this one, in memoriam.
Finally the 'truth' is revealed - the dinosaurs became extinct when they were all impaled on giant straws from outer space. No really. Nothing in the fossil record, you say? Well, straws don't fossilize, obviously!
For ODC2: stretching the truth
I used to live in Arizona, and there I had a best friend. One day walking home from school we found a CD on the ground. We started kicking it, and before long we had made up this sort of game. Once you start to kick the CD, you cannot pick it up. If you wish to keep the CD, you MUST kick it all the way to your destination regardless of how far or how difficult it may be.
I brought that game to the east coast and shared it with my sister. We were in Newark and found a CD about 2 miles from our place. We looked at each other and decided to kick it home. She was wearing 2 inch high sandals from hot topic, I was wearing converse. My one sock had a hole in it to begin with. To cut a long story short, she couldn't kick it well in the heels so I gave her one of my shoes and we kicked it all the way home. In the dark. With people looking at us like we were crazy. But we did it. Still have the CD. I have the CD from Arizona as well, will put a photo up. :) Oh! But once we got home, my dog was flipping out and didn't want her to wake everyone up, so we let her out and took a picture with our feet and the CD. She got in there too. The CD is under her lol.
I watched one of those shows last night, where the kindly, patient, all-knowing physicist explains the mysteries of the universe, with animations and artist's renderings of the origin of the universe, the Big Bang and so on.. I find it interesting that in explaining such things, they are simultaneously dispelling and confirming the explanation given in the Bible..
One particular phrase caught my ear when they tried to explain where "everything" was before the Big Bang.. The official scientific explanation is that everything everywhere - all the mass in the universe - all the uncountable stars, the planets, the galaxies, and the space that makes up the universe was inside an "infinitely, inconceivably tiny point, smaller than an atom, called "The Singularity""... Thanks for clearing that up.. And, that's more plausible than what it says in the Bible... how, exactly? And what exactly was "outside" that point? And where exactly WAS that point, if all space was inside? I guess it wasn't anywhere, since there was nowhere for it to "be"...
Suddenly the notion of pulling an infinite number of fishes and loaves out of a basket to feed the multitude doesn't seem quite so impossible, does it? To quote the physicist - "At a certain point - the laws of physics as we know them, don't apply anymore."...
The most quoted, most respected, and greatest "outside the box" thinker of our generation, Steven Hawkins has recently said that he now thinks the universe came into being "spontaneously" - that is - that there was no outside force that brought about "The Big Bang" - that it just "happened".. Of course, if it were simply the will of a truly omnipotent being - it would look a lot like that, wouldn't it?
Explaining the contents and context of the Agreement on the Resolution of the Conflict in the Republic of South Sudan (ARCISS) to Students in Juba on 24th September 2018.
The United Nations Mission in South Sudan (UNMISS) Political Affairs Division, in collaboration with the University of Juba, is conducting a two-day civic education workshop to explain key chapters in the Revitalized Peace Agreement to 70 students from the University of Juba. In turn, the students are expected to educate other South Sudanese in their localities about the Agreement.

On this piece of writing I’m going to speak about cold sores. I will clarify exactly what they’re and I will even explain how one can do away with these uncomfortable sores.
On this article I’m going to speak about cold sores. I will clarify exactly what they are and subsequently I will even clarify how anyone can get rid of these uncomfortable sores.
What exactly is a cold sore?
The cold sore is a small blister that usually shows up close to the outer edge of the lips, on only one side. You may also compare a cold sore to fever blisters. They usually are available in a kind of purple reddish color. They often crust over and develop a scab before they go away. They will also pop up one after the other or they might even form in little bunches which are filled with fluid a lot of the time. Usually a cold sore will develop for approximately two weeks. By my own experience, my own cold sores last even longer than the time period!
How are they brought on?
To start with… cold sores develop due to a virus called herpes. Herpes is likely one of the most common viral infections on this planet! To be exact, the medical term for the virus which leads to cold sores is known as herpes simplex. There are 2 forms of Herpes simplex. HSV type 1 is usually the cause of cold sores. Herpes simplex virus type 2 is answerable for genital herpes. Both forms of herpes could cause sores in the facial area and even within the genitals area.
What are the indicators and symptoms?
Listed here are a number of of the indicators and symptoms of a typical cold sore -
- A pain or itchy, often referred to as prodrome prior to the blisters by one to two days.
- Cold sores form a Pus filled swelling on a swollen red/purple spot on the skin.
- Of course, once they do pop up in your lips the period will last anywhere 10 days to 2 weeks. You must realize that the signs may not start for as long as 20 days subsequent to subjection to the herpes simplex virus. I’ve often wondered, earlier than I knew this fact, how I rapidly pop up with cold sores showing on the side of my lip. What I didn’t consider was that the infection had most likely began weeks before!
Its quite common for a cold sore to develop in your lip, but they can also appear on your nostrils, jaw and even on a finger! Typically they will even occur within the mouth, in your gums or hard palate (The roof of your mouth)
How does an infection get in your lip?
Its vital for people to realize that cold sores spread like wild fire and that they’re very contagious indeed. You may get a cold sore via smooching another person who may have the infection! It’s worthwhile to avoid from sharing things like a toothbrush, sharing cups, towels and razor’s from the one who has a cold sore. You want to be very careful and aware of what you might be doing. Like I stated previously… they are very transmittable!
So what are the cures of a cold sore?
There are many medicinal products on the market. However most of them aren’t very good at combating a cold sore. Some of these may be effective, but just for a short time! Some of these products could even have unwanted side effects. To not mention that these over the counter drugs are costly too! You should utilize over the counter creams that can present some sort of comfort, but don’t anticipate them to hurry the recovery process! You possibly can apply ice or warm compresses to the cold sore to cut back the soreness. If you’re able to rough it out, just allow it to heal. Attempt to keep away from pinching, squeezing or picking at the blister! Cold sore cures additionally include lemon balm, tea tree oil, Echinacea and a tea bag.
I hope that this write-up has been informative to you in your quest for data with regards to curing a cold sore.
ATTENTION: If you desire to learn the herbal secrets to Cold Sore Natural Remedies, then make certain you check out our natural cold sore cure therapies at www.coldsorecure.org
The man who talked to us when we were shooting. Sometimes people who is interested in a camera or a photograph talk to when we take pictures outside. He started talking about from a camera to a wartime story and he told us how he survived during the war.
When he was 15 years old, he worked to put the dead bodies in order to identify or buried them in the hole and that job made 10,000 yen in the daily wages. While there were many people returning as they see the bodies, he worked hard and started an electric shop after the war. He said with a smile " The postwar electric shop made money next to a thief."
撮影をしている時に話しかけて来たおじさん。
外で写真を撮っているとよくカメラや写真に興味のある人が話しかけて来ます。おじさんはカメラの話から戦時中の話になり、戦時中をどう生き抜いて来たかを教えてくれました。
15歳のころ死体を片付けたり身元の確認や穴に埋める作業をして日給１万円。死体を見て帰って行く人も多い中、おじさんはこつこつ働き、戦後電気屋を開業、「戦後の電気屋なんつったら泥棒の次に儲かったよ～」と笑って教えてくれました。

Masonic Square and Compasses.
The Square and Compasses (or, more correctly, a square and a set of compasses joined together) is the single most identifiable symbol of Freemasonry. Both the square and compasses are architect's tools and are used in Masonic ritual as emblems to teach symbolic lessons. Some Lodges and rituals explain these symbols as lessons in conduct: for example, Duncan's Masonic Monitor of 1866 explains them as: "The square, to square our actions; The compasses, to circumscribe and keep us within bounds with all mankind".
However, as Freemasonry is non-dogmatic, there is no general interpretation for these symbols (or any Masonic symbol) that is used by Freemasonry as a whole.
Square and Compasses:
Source: Mackey's Encyclopedia of Freemasonry
These two symbols have been so long and so universally combined — to teach us, as says an early instruction, "to square our actions and to keep them within due bounds," they are so seldom seen apart, but are so kept together, either as two Great Lights, or as a jewel worn once by the Master of the Lodge, now by the Past Master—that they have come at last to be recognized as the proper badge of a Master Mason, just as the Triple Tau is of a Royal Arch Mason or the Passion Cross of a Knight Templar.
So universally has this symbol been recognized, even by the profane world, as the peculiar characteristic of Freemasonry, that it has recently been made in the United States the subject of a legal decision. A manufacturer of flour having made, in 1873, an application to the Patent Office for permission to adopt the Square and Compasses as a trade-mark, the Commissioner of Patents, .J. M. Thatcher, refused the permission as the mark was a Masonic symbol.
If this emblem were something other than precisely what it is—either less known", less significant, or fully and universally understood—all this might readily be admitted. But, Considering its peculiar character and relation to the public, an anomalous question is presented. There can be no doubt that this device, so commonly worn and employed by Masons, has an established mystic significance, universally recognized as existing; whether comprehended by all or not, is not material to this issue. In view of the magnitude and extent of the Masonic organization, it is impossible to divest its symbols, or at least this particular symbol—perhaps the best known of all—of its ordinary signification, wherever displaced, either as an arbitrary character or otherwise.
It will be universally understood, or misunderstood, as having a Masonic significance; and, therefore, as a trade-mark, must constantly work deception. Nothing could be more mischievous than to create as a monopoly, and uphold by the poser of lacy anything so calculated. as applied to purposes of trade. to be misinterpreted, to mislead all classes, and to constantly foster suggestions of mystery in affairs of business (see Infringing upon Freemasonry, also Imitative Societies, and Clandestine).
In a religious work by John Davies, entitled Summa Totalis, or All in All and the Same Forever, printed in 1607, we find an allusion to the Square and Compasses by a profane in a really Masonic sense. The author, who proposes to describe mystically the form of the Deity, says in his dedication:
Yet I this forme of formelesse Deity,
Drewe by the Squire and Compasse of our Creed.
In Masonic symbolism the Square and Compasses refer to the Freemason's duty to the Craft and to himself; hence it is properly a symbol of brotherhood, and there significantly adopted as the badge or token of the Fraternity.
Berage, in his work on the higher Degrees, Les plus secrets Mystéres des Hauts Grades, or The Most Secret Mysteries of the High Grades, gives a new interpretation to the symbol. He says: "The Square and the Compasses represent the union of the Old and New Testaments. None of the high Degrees recognize this interpretation, although their symbolism of the two implements differs somewhat from that of Symbolic Freemasonry.
The Square is with them peculiarly appropriated to the lower Degrees, as founded on the Operative Art; while the Compasses, as an implement of higher character and uses, is attributed to the Decrees, which claim to have a more elevated and philosophical foundation. Thus they speak of the initiate, when he passes from the Blue Lodge to the Lodge of Perfection, as 'passing from the Square to the Compasses,' to indicate a progressive elevation in his studies. Yet even in the high Degrees, the square and compasses combined retain their primitive signification as a symbol of brotherhood and as a badge of the Order."
Square and Compass:

By Bro. B. C. Ward, Iowa
Worshipful Master and Brethren: Let us behold the glorious beauty that lies hidden beneath the symbolism of the Square and Compass; and first as to the Square. Geometry, the first and noblest of the sciences, is the basis on which the superstructure of Masonry has been erected. As you know, the word "Geometry" is derived from two Greek words which mean "to measure the earth," so that Geometry originated in measurement; and in those early days, when land first began to be measured, the Square, being a right angle, was the instrument used, so that in time the Square began to symbolize the Earth. And later it began to symbolize, Masonically, the earthly-in man, that is man's lower nature, and still later it began to symbolize man's duty in his earthly relations, or his moral obligations to his Fellowmen. The symbolism of the Square is as ancient as the Pyramids. The Egyptians used it in building the Pyramids. The base of every pyramid is a perfect square, and to the Egyptians the Square was their highest and most sacred emblem. Even the Chinese many, many centuries ago used the Square to represent Good, and Confucius in his writings speaks of the Square to represent a Just man.
As Masons we have adopted the 47th Problem of Euclid as the rule by which to determine or prove a perfect Square. Many of us remember with what interest we solved that problem in our school days. The Square has become our most significant Emblem. It rests upon the open Bible on this altar; it is one of the three great Lights; and it is the chief ornament of the Worshipful Master. There is a good reason why this distinction has been conferred upon the Square. There can be nothing truer than a perfect Square--a right angle. Hence the Square has become an emblem of Perfection.
Now a few words as to the Compass: Astronomy was the second great science promulgated among men. In the process of Man's evolution there came a time when he began to look up to the stars and wonder at the vaulted Heavens above him. When he began to study the stars, he found that the Square was not adapted to the measurement of the Heavens. He must have circular measure; he needed to draw a circle from a central point, and so the Compass was employed. By the use of the Compass man began to study the starry Heavens, and as the Square primarily symbolized the Earth, the Compass began to symbolize the Heavens, the celestial canopy, the study of which has led men to think of God, and adore Him as the Supreme Architect of the Universe. In later times the Compass began to symbolize the spiritual or higher nature of man, and it is a significant fact that the circumference of a circle, which is a line without end, has become an emblem of Eternity and symbolizes Divinity; so the Compass, and the circle drawn by the Compass, both point men Heavenward and Godward.
The Masonic teaching concerning the two points of the Compass is very interesting and instructive. The novitiate in Masonry, as he kneels at this altar, and asks for Light sees the Square, which symbolizes his lower nature, he may well note the position of the Compass. As he takes another step, and asks for more Light, the position of the Compass is changed somewhat, symbolizing that his spiritual nature can, in some measure, overcome his evil tendencies. As he takes another step in Masonry, and asks for further Light, and hears the significant words, "and God said let there be Light, and there was Light," he sees the Compass in new light; and for the first time he sees the meaning, thus unmistakably alluding to the sacred and eternal truth that as the Heavens are higher than the Earth, so the spiritual is higher than the material, and the spiritual in man must have its proper place, and should be above his lower nature, and dominate all his thoughts and actions. That eminent Philosopher, Edmund Burke, once said, "It is ordained that men of intemperate passions cannot be free. Their passions forge the chains which bind them, and make them slaves." Burke was right. Masonry, through the beautiful symbolism of the Compass, tells us how we can be free men, by permitting the spiritual within us to overcome our evil tendencies, and dominate all our thoughts and actions. Brethren, sometimes in the silent quiet hour, as we think of this conflict between our lower and higher natures, we sometimes say in the words of another, "Show me the way and let me bravely climb to where all conflicts with the flesh shall cease. Show me that way. Show me the way up to a higher plane where my body shall be servant of my Soul. Show me that way."
Brethren, if that prayer expresses desire of our hearts, let us take heed to the beautiful teachings of the Compass, which silently and persistently tells each one of us,
"You should not in the valley stay
While the great horizons stretch away
The very cliffs that wall you round
Are ladders up to higher ground.
And Heaven draws near as you ascend,
The Breeze invites, the Stars befriend.
All things are beckoning to the Best,
Then climb toward God and find sweet Rest."

A handy reference to the sayings
I love Asian art history and have taken Chinese and calligraphy. Running across a book of pithy Chinese sayings having to do with futility I translated them from regular Chinese (kaishu) to the ancient ‘seal script’ (zhuanshu) which I manipulated freely to help convey the message. These sayings are rendered as etchings in black ink, combined with impressions of actual collectors’ seals in red. The center of the page is empty as it often is in Asian art. Some actual seals can be seen at Chinese Seals. All prints were done in 2002.

It's Day 11 of our 12-day trip -- the trip's very last day!* -- and we started it in Huntsville, Alabama, where they park space shuttles by the freeway.
* -- You might take this sentence as an example of me failing to understand how numbers work, but I'll explain that in Wednesday's posts, I think.
That isn't a real space shuttle, of course. All the real space shuttles are someplace else. This is a full-scale mock-up called Pathfinder, which NASA keeps outside the US Space & Rocket Center, where they host their famous Space Camp for kids. NASA built this mock-up in a more bare-bones version in 1977 to use as a dummy shuttle they could haul around Cape Canaveral to make sure the real thing would fit every place they wanted it to go. It was generally the same size, weight, and shape as a real space shuttle, but mostly made of wood on steel supports. In 1983, a Japanese company bought it, refurbished it up to look more like an actual shuttle, attached the Pathfinder name to it, and displayed it for a couple of years at Tokyo's Great Shuttle Exposition. NASA bought it back and put it here in Huntsville in 1988. Huntsville's been happy with it, figuring a fake space shuttle is better than no space shuttle at all.
This gives me an unexpected opportunity to go into another example of how the current leadership of this country is really dumb, though, as not everybody associated with the space program is as easily satisfied as Huntsville.
The space shuttle program was hard on space ships, but three actual space shuttles (Discovery, Atlantis, and Endevour) and one sort-of shuttle (Enterprise) survived long enough to be retired. Once the program shut down, there was a rush among museums and government institutions to display the surviving ships. Enterprise -- the prototype that never went to space and was built solely for atmospheric testing -- wound up parked on the deck of an aircraft carrier in the Hudson River. NASA kept the Atlantis for their museum at Cape Canaveral. Endevour went to the California Science Center in Los Angeles, which is where I saw it in 2013. NASA gave Discovery to the Smithsonian Institute, and the Smithsonian has had it on display at an annex out at Dulles Airport since 2012.
I didn't pay attention to the political reasoning at the time so I don't know the negotiations that went into these allotments. I do know that the guys down at the Johnson Space Center in Houston weren't happy about it, though, and they've been grumbling about it ever since. Houston's where NASA kept Mission Control, after all, with its control room full of big screens. Surely, they deserved a shuttle more than anybody else. But nope. NASA gave a shuttle to California, but Texas got squat.
But now it's 13 years later, and Trump's just getting started on his second chance to wreck the Presidency and destroy the economy while Republicans run Congress into ground by somehow simultaneously defunding everything useful and running up the deficit to all-time highs. They came up with this massive tax-cut-and-spend bill with a stupid name from a Trump fever dream that's full of the dumbest crap they could imagine, and one of the dumbest pieces of crap was a rider inserted by the two US senators from Texas requiring NASA to yank Discovery from its parking place outside Washington and haul it down to Houston to be displayed at the Johnson Space Center. The deficit hawks allocated $85 million to do this very stupid thing.
Now, the problem isn't so much that they mean to take a space shuttle from the Smithsonian Institute and send it to Texas. I mean, that's a dumb and pointless way to spend $85 million, but that's not what makes the scheme insane. What makes it insane is that there's no actual way to do it. I mean, at this moment, it's physically impossible, and any attempt to pull this off is far more likely to destroy Discovery and send it to a scrap yard than actually get it to Texas.
As you might imagine, a space shuttle is a large, heavy object, and moving it even when the shuttle program was going strong was an enormous and expensive task. A shuttle can't just fly from place to place on its own. It's engines were solely for orbital maneuvers. It was a glider inside the atmosphere, and it dropped like a brick. If you wanted to move a shuttle from, say, Edwards Air Force Base in California to Cape Canaveral in Florida, you had to get a bunch of cranes to lift it on top of one of two modified Boeing 747 airliners built specifically to haul a space shuttle around. When the space shuttle program ended, both 747s were retired and dismantled for parts, and now they only exist as shells displayed in museums in California and Texas. They can't be rebuilt to haul Discovery.
But there aren't any other practical ways to move Discovery, either. It's too big and heavy to move by truck or train. You could load it on a barge and haul it to Houston by sea -- that's how they got Enterprise to its aircraft carrier -- but you'd have to get it from Dulles to the sea. The only way to move it is to build an all-new plane for it, and that alone will probably cost the entire $85 million allocated to the project. And then you've got to get Discovery back into flight condition and move it onto the plane and get the plane to Houston and ... and ... and ...
There's a lot of back-and-forth on the internet about what it cost in 2012 to move the Endevour to Los Angeles, though various sources say just getting it the 12 miles from LAX to the California Science Center cost between 10 and 20 million dollars. Wikipedia hints (with a source behind a pay wall) that the entire project had a budget of $200 million, and that was the cost using existing equipment. NASA suggests moving Discovery now will cost something over $300 million, but while NASA has famously never had cost overruns (/sarcasm), I think that's wildly optimistic.
So, you want my tl;dr take on this? I don't care what John Cornyn and Ted Cruz are smoking and don't know where that $85 million is going to go, they're not going to move the space shuttle Discovery. Houston will just have to go without.
