A list of materials needed for a small shop from Printing Explained by Herbert Simon and Harry Carter, Leicester, The Dryad press, 1931. I love the prices.
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.

L'opera is a family business that was started in the French embassy first. This popular bakery and patisserie quickly moved to Khan Market too and now they have 9 outlets all around Delhi NCR. L'Opera Salon de Thé which literally translated means L'Opera Tea Room is the only tea room L'Opera has.
They source their flour from France and have only one production facility in Noida. They try to empower their bakers and staff and as far as possible keep their system hierarchy free. This whole idea behind this is to have a happier working atmosphere for their chefs and staff to create desserts that can go on to become unforgettable for the restaurant's patrons.
The "Quiche" and "Croque Monsieur" were the savoury items we had which was followed by some lovely tea (rose and lemon). They have an interesting collection of tea from Shahpur Jat, which i really liked. The tea went very well with the Croque Monsieur. The combination of salty and mildly sweet was just right.
Then we had the petit four which means small confectionery or savoury appetiser. There were some awesome truffle and passion fruit sponge cake, apple cinnamon cake and the famous opera pastry. The sponge was perfectly soft and the presentation was impeccable. The opera pastry was rich and decadent.
The petits fours were followed by freshly baked macaroons. I once had macaroons L'Opera, Vasant Kunj a while ago and did not like them very much but these were truly magnificent. They had been baked to perfection, there was a delicate crunch outside and a slight gooey moistness inside. The flavours we had were "Hazelnut Chocolate" and "Passion Fruit" and we truly loved them both. If you ask me to pick a favourite, I will not be able to.
I met Mr. Masood at L'Opera Salon de Thé who explained us the importance of the different textures in French desserts. It was nice that there was someone available to educate us on French baking.
L'Opera Salon de Thé have a large collection of breads, everything freshly baked. The "Sour Dough Bread" was delicious. I took some away with me for later. The "Multi-grain Baguette" with flak seeds and sunflower seeds can be had on its own because it has added salt. I ordered another cup of tea so I could enjoy this bread. The combination of sweet and salty can never go wrong!

St Peter, West Lynn, Norfolk
It was good to come back to West Lynn after ten years away. Back in 2006 it had seemed a separate place, but ten years on it was quite clear that the prosperity of Kings Lynn was spreading westwards to grasp it avariciously. So many east coast ports are in decline, but King's Lynn seems to go from strength to strength, which can only be explained by its position on a railway line into Cambridge and then swiftly on to London.
That day in 2006, we had driven right across Norfolk as it was waking up on a Saturday morning - well, a bit later than that; let's say it was washing up after breakfast, putting its shoes on and then going shopping. The whole of the Ouse Valley was pouring into Kings Lynn, looking for a parking place, and we were glad to be crossing the river and heading into the Marshlands. First stop was up the west bank of the Ouse, and just a stones throw from the centre of Lynn itself.
Talking of throwing stones, West Lynn was a fairly rough place in those days. The shop beside St Peter had razorwire barriers like I'd seen in the Shankill in west Belfast the previous month, and I’d not seen so much graffiti on the outside of a church before. The west window was completely boarded up. Not surprisingly, the church was locked, with a keyholder in the adjacent close. He opened the door to us after about six hours and glared out with what I took to be typical marshland reticence. When I asked for the key, he said “Why?” but fortunately I knew the answer to this question, because West Lynn has a seven-sacrament font. Knowing he’d been beaten, he gave in and smiled, giving us the key graciously.
Coming back, the church was still locked. But there was a different keyholder. She was very nice, and didn't quiz me as to my motives.
The exterior of the church is interesting. Cruciform, as many churches are around here, the chancel is an addition of the 1930s by the aged Walter Caroe, and looks very much of that decade. It reminded me of Dilham. Old tracery has been built into the walls, and the tracery replicates the 19th century window (and contains its glass) that once was set in the blocked chancel arch. Despite the cement-rendering to tower and transepts, there is a nice mix of flint and red-brick, and a little carstone too. A 1920s vestry opposite the red-brick Tudor porch completes the piece.
We let ourselves in to what turns out to be a very high church – the main Sunday service still styles itself Mass, and the Vicar is Father someone-or-other. There’s also evidence of this in the furnishings, including devotional statues and the like, but I didn't get the impression that the church gets used much for private devotions; there were certainly no candles burning. Perhaps it is an enthusiasm of the Vicar’s rather than of the parish as a whole.
The font is a delight – probably the most primitive of the series after Wendling's, the figures like cartoon characters. It has been repaired with darker cement, so you can see what is original and what isn’t, and it is actually relatively unvandalised. The Priest hearing confession is wearing a cowl or hood, as was the convention of the medieval period, but in this case it doesn't half make him look Mother Teresa. The Mass panel, seen from the side on, is absolutely crowded with figures, some standing and kneeling to the left of the rood screen, which is seen end on, and the Priest elevating the host to the right. In the Baptism panel, the baby is held upside down. The eighth panel depicts the Holy Trinity (not, as Pevsner has it, 'Christ Enthroned', or Mortlock's 'God the Father').
There is a splendid brass of a priest, Adam Outlaw (what a great name for the fens!) and the benches are a not unpleasing mix of 15th, 17th and 19th century work, most of a local quality. Perhaps best are some poppyheads reminiscent of those in the chancel at Walpole St Peter. The misericords are fascinating - they appear to have suffered the attention of iconoclasts, but also do not seem as old as they pretend.
The north transept is fitted out as a lady chapel, both elegant and seemly. There is a bold squint through to the high altar with its grand reredos. Indeed, the fittings of the sanctuary are all boldly 20th century Anglo-catholic, and the sedilia and piscina an exercise in modernist devotion. Well worth seeing, all in all.
Mr. Talley enjoys sitting next to students to learn about their work. When students can explain what they are doing and why, the lesson is more meaningful.
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。
Since there is often much confusion about the origin of The Blue Hour, I offer this little essay as an attempt to explain what is going on. How am I qualified to do this? I'm an astrophysicist and a visual neuroscientist. I have studied extensively the properties of the atmosphere of our planet Earth and also, in preparation for future astronomical observations with the next generation of large space and groundbased telescopes, the likely properties of earth-like exoplanets. I am also looking at the visual adaptations made by animals that spend large amounts of their time hunting or being hunted in the deep blue of the twilit environment.
The Blue Hour
An explanation of the nature and physical cause of the phenomenon
by Robert (Bob) Fosbury
The Blue Hour (l'heure bleue) is the period of twilight starting when the Sun dips to a few degrees below the horizon and ending as the sky darkens towards night at the end of astronomical twilight (and in the reverse sequence at sunrise). The light from the sky reaching us and our surroundings during this period, especially during the central part called nautical twilight, is extremely blue; much bluer than a typical clear blue sky during daylight.
This phenomenon occurs under both clear and cloudy conditions since the physical process that causes it is quite distinct from that which causes the daytime blue sky (Rayleigh scattering). Indeed, the twilight blue has a distinctly different hue since it contains also a strong deep-red component that is near the limit of our visual sensitivity and therefore not vary apparent to our eyes. This particular hue is well represented by the the artist's pigment 'ultramarine', the famously expensive pigment derived from the lapis lazuli imported 'across the seas' from the ancient mines in Afghanistan. See the famous painting by Titian in the National Gallery: www.nationalgallery.org.uk/paintings/titian-bacchus-and-a...
The twilight blue results from the strong absorption of yellow, orange and red light during the long passage of sunlight as it passes almost horizontally through the atmosphere near sunset and sunrise. It works out that, on the horizon, the sunlight has to traverse around forty times as much atmosphere to reach us as it does if it is overhead at noon in the tropics.
The blue-coloured culprit for this theft of the orange is ozone ( www.bipm.org/en/bipm/chemistry/gas-metrology/ozone/ ), a fragile and very active molecule consisting of three, rather than the more normal two, oxygen atoms and occupying a layer in the atmosphere between altitudes of about fifteen and forty kilometres. This is the gas that protects life on Earth from the devastating effect that ultraviolet radiation would have on us if this component of sunlight were to reach ground level. While the orange absorption — resulting from what we call the 'Ozone Chappuis band' — is very much weaker than the protective ultraviolet absorption, the long atmospheric path at twilight strengthens its effect enough for it to have a profound effect on colour. The visual effect of this removal of much of the yellow, orange and red light is to leave the blue light to travel through a more transparent atmosphere to reach our eyes from the whole sky.
A good question to ask at this point would be: "OK, you say that ozone removes the orange light when the sun is on the horizon, But the sun is a bright orange at that time! — so what is going on?" Well, yes, that is a good question. To answer it we have to understand the meaning of two of the words that appear in my explanation above: scattering and absorption.
Scattering, as in 'Rayleigh scattering', is when a photon of light approaches an air (mostly oxygen or nitrogen) molecule in the atmosphere where the interaction between the two can bounce the light into a different direction without any change of colour. This is the way that photons from the sun can become part of the blue sky rather than reach us as direct sunlight. Scattering steals part of the sunlight and makes it into the blue sky. The light is changed in direction but not lost. The physics tells us that this kind of scattering is more likely to happen for blue light than for red: hence the sky blue. The sun looks orange/red on the horizon because a lot of the blue light has been removed from the solar image in your eye and been given to the blue sky. Rest assured however that the image of the orange sun would be a lot brighter if the ozone layer was removed!
The scattered skylight will then have its orange further diminished by ozone and so make The Blue Hour even bluer. Unlike the scattering process, when ozone absorbs orange light it swallows it and does not give anything back except, perhaps, a bit of warmth.
So, in summary, the blue hour blue is different from the blue sky blue and it is a direct result of the action of the ozone layer on incoming sunlight. The eye adapts itself to this blue and tends to make the twilight look visually grey. But the camera does not adapt, unless you have it set to "automatic white-balance" in which case try setting it to "daylight" instead. Then your Blue Hour photos will really look blue!
M. Mert Egilmez, a mechanical engineering research fellow, explains to colleagues how it felt to wear a vibration-based therapeutic device during a demonstration test in the Electrical Engineering and Computer Science Building on North Campus of the University of Michigan College of Engineering in Ann Arbor, MI on November 6, 2017.
The research project, led by Himanshu Saxena under the direction of Bogdan Epureanu, PhD, a professor of mechanical engineering, and Kevin Ward, MD, a professor of emergency medicine, aims to study the health benefits of controlled mechanical vibrations on the human body through the use of a therapeutic device.
The project is making its way through the Coulter Translational Research Partnership Program within the Department of Biomedical Engineering, which seeks to accelerate the development of university technologies into new products to improve health care.

The goal of the exhibit is to raise awareness about the plight of the world’s 42 million refugees and internally displaced people (IDPs) uprooted by war and conflict.
The Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City exhibit is an outdoor reconstruction of an actual refugee camp, where experienced MSF staff (doctors, nurses, logisticians) guide visitors through a 40 to 60 minute interactive tour explaining the crucial elements for survival in a refugee or IDP crisis.
During the tour, each visitor will learn some of the challenges a refugee or IDP faces in trying to access food, shelter, water and medical care. The 740 m2 (8,000 square feet) exhibit is designed to accommodate approximately 800 to 1,200 visitors per day, and consists of the following areas:
•Shelter area
•Food distribution area
•Latrine area
•Water supply
•Health clinic
•Nutrition treatment centre
•Cholera treatment centre
•Vaccination tent
About the Refugee Camp exhibit
Guided by MSF aid workers, visitors are asked to imagine that they are among the millions of people fleeing violence and persecution in, for example, Somalia, Colombia, the Democratic Republic of Congo, or Sudan.
The exhibit is made up of materials used by MSF in its emergency medical work around the world, including emergency refugee housing, a food distribution tent, water pump, health clinic, vaccination tent, therapeutic feeding center, and a cholera treatment center. It addresses questions such as:
•Will I be safe?
•What will I eat?
•How do I find water?
•Can I get medical care?
•Where will I live?
Learn more about the issues refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs) face with this interactive guide.
The exhibit is free and open to the public. If you are planning to come with a group of 15 or more please schedule a group visit for your city. Individuals are welcome without reservations.
The Refugee Camp in the Heart of the City was first launched in France in 1995, and has toured in countries in Asia, Europe, the Middle East and North America. In 2008, the exhibit attracted close to 30,000 visitors during a 4 city tour of Western Canada and 4 city tour of California.

I don't know which is worse: That someone was dumb enough to put an old toilet in the alley instead of the dumpster, that someone was dumb enough to use it, that someone was dumb enough to crap on the ground next to it, or that someone was dumb enough to photograph it.
I need to go shower now.
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.
Mr. Talley enjoys having students explain what they are doing and why they are doing it. He wants them to own their learning.
How I explained this picture to a friend:
"How I feel today? I feel like I wasted a half f*cking hour of my life with a strong light aimed at my f*cking eye while I was trying to aim the camera with the other eye through a goddamn mirror."
This chart explains how hydropower provides economical and sustainable electrical power without further pollution. (USACE photo by Fred Tucker)
So how can I explain this in a reasonable amount of space? So, my friends and I developed a new story where we each created our own "Queens," so of course I was the Vampire Queen and I have all of these vampire henchmen. The vampire portrayed is the Vamp Queen's top general, Samael. So, long story short, my friend (who is the "Fairy Queen") got on a tangent talking about our two "right hand men," and hers is this Corgi guy. So we went on talking about Samael's and her Corgi General's relationship, and many pointless things occurred, like apparently Samael has a soft spot for Corgi's and Corgi ears. So for Samael's birthday, the Corgi guy got him a Corgi. And Samael being a bloodthirsty demon he is has no idea what to do with himself.
But he loves the little puppy so much.
Anyway, that's about the short of it.
I'm a moron, which explains why I skipped my bicycle ride on this gorgeous day. But the day was not totally wasted, since I spent much of the afternoon Flickring while my wife and daughter were away shopping. When they returned home a few minutes after 5:00, I lamented to my wife that I had not gone on a bike ride -- and then I stepped outside for the first time in several hours and saw this sunset. Five minutes later, I was at Hoopes Park with camera in hand, snapping away and having a grand time.
So I still regret not getting in my bike ride, but capturing a beautiful sunset at least partly makes up for that, in my view at least.

I first saw Blythes in my friend's house. She had two or three. I thought they were pretty cool. But I didn't want to own any of my own. I was way into Living Dead Dolls! (another doll my friend got me into.)
As luck would have it, there was an import store in our neighborhood called "Robot Love". They carried everything from Dunny's, Munny's and all things Japanese!
They had a special night to introduce Blythe Dolls to their customers. They invited Gina Garan to come and christen their store with an amazing Blythe exhibit! They had an opening party and the place was packed!
I went with my friend and was blown away at all the different Blythe dolls there were. One in particular caught my attention. It was an Art Attack. She was wearing her blonde wig (no blue hair showing!) and her pink patent leather outfit. I was smitten! (Cinema Princess took my breath away, too!)
So that was it. I was in love. I began collecting Blythe dolls of my own. At first I kept them in their boxes. But as fate would have it, I received my first Art Attack in a damaged box. There was no reason NOT to open her. I did. The rest is history!
We went back to the spot where Robot Love used to be. It closed about four years ago. It is now an advertising design studio. I knocked on their door and a very pleasant lady let me in and I explained to her that I wanted to take a photo in the space that used to be Robot Love, where I had first seen a Blythe doll and it was love at first sight! She said, "Sure! I'll take you back there!" (you can see the photos inside in my flickr stream.)
I would almost kill for a store to walk into today and see new Blythe dolls. It was such a blessing to have it in my neighborhood. We all miss it!
