I'm no longer involving myself with invite only groups / special groups - something odds going on. I put this here because I know that a few of my friends/contacts are administrators of groups. A few weeks ago I told one, who had invited me to a group, that I no longer did such invites because it takes too much time to do, especially when I can use that time to visit my contacts. Plus the awards are too much! Last year, sometime around summer, I spent almost half a day trying to meet the requirements of particular groups (comment on 3, fav 6 - there's one group that requires you to comment/fav 1 image from the first page then choose 3 from subsequent pages - some of the rules are almost diabolical -- LOL). Yet, I involved myself because I felt good that someone somewhere thought the images were nice enough for an invite. And I don't think its fair to just plop down an award without commenting or expressing why you like the image. So I always comment and will fav if I really like it. But most folks simply plop down the award and leave.
But I don't know, it might be that the group in question "invite only group" is shady. I was invited. Against my better thoughts, submitted the photo and spent a couple of minutes searching through the group to find images I liked. I found 3, commented and left the icon that's required and fav'd them. Then one person visited my page, awarding my image an icon. Now the award is gone and my photo has been removed from the group. I'm baffled and a bit hurt! But not hurt enough to write the admn to find out why . . . its their group, perhaps after second thoughts someone decided the photo wasn't good enough.
I need to clean up my group list anyway - I only post to a few groups. I know that all groups aren't run this way but this simply opened my eyes more and I should have stuck by what I told my contact a few weeks ago. I guess this is simply a reminder to do what I say I'm gonna do. Still there are groups that I truly enjoy.
Saturday, January 21, 2023: QEW EB @ Victoria Avenue
--
"A white van crashed into the back of a tractor trailer just after 7 a.m. Saturday in the Niagara bound lanes of the QEW, killing one driver.
The driver of the van was a 32-year-old person from Beamsville who was taken to hospital but later died. Police do not specify whether it was a man or woman.
A total of four vehicles were involved in the incident, all with only a driver in them, no passengers.
Motorists were forced off the highway at Ontario St. as the OPP closed the Niagara bound lanes of the QEW in Beamsville for most of the day.
Police say the transport truck had collided with an initial crash involving two vehicles before the white van then ran into the back of the transport truck.
The three other people involved in the collision were not hurt.
Officers say it was possibly debris on the road way that lead to the vehicle losing control and then hitting the rear of the tractor trailer.
The QEW reopened just before 3 p.m."

During our residency at Pilchuck Glass School, we expanded on work started at the Museum of Glass and we developed a series of new works involving sound making objects, printmaking and drawing. We gave two performances during our residency, and some of our printmaking was exhibited during November 2014 at the Pilchuck Glass School Exhibition Space. Additional documentation of our performances and print process are linked below.
Our sound work with glass involves the creation of shapes that can be bowed or struck to produce fundamental pitches and harmonics so that one instrument can sound more than one pitch. Working carefully with our expert gaffers, Manny Krakowski and Netty Blair, we were able to make several variations of vessel shapes that each produced a complex spectrum of tones. We were also able to develop methods of linking two or more objects on a rocking base so that two objects could be played simultaneously by one player and variations on timbre and attack through bowing, striking, rocking were possible.
For our performances we grouped objects in terms of their tunings and timbres making tuning changes (by reshaping, or filling vessels with water) where necessary to create a specific temperament. Once we created a temperament we improvised extensively with it and developed compositions for it. Our compositions are a mix of rehearsed sections/gestures connected by improvisation. While we usually decide how to start and end, the pieces are largely determined during the performance.
In both our sound and print work we used electro-magnet/neodymium magnet setups where the magnets moved in response to changes in the polarities of our electro-magnets that were triggered by fluctuations in the EMF of the space where they were.
As sound, the clinking/tapping of the magnets against glass added a percussive, chaotic element to our compositions; something that fueled our improvisations as the magnets never behaved the same way in each performance.
For the prints, we used the same set of circuitry, vessels and magnets, but as mark making elements. We set the magnets up on inked plates and let them roll until they were covered in ink and had left marks on the plates. We then made several prints with the plates, and then placed the electro-magnet setup on the prints’ surface in the same configuration and let the neodymium magnets deposit the ink they had previously gathered. Freshly inked magnets were also added in the process. As with the sound pieces, the electro-magnet’s polarity oscillates in response to changes in EMF around them.
Our drawings incorporate variations on the shapes of the goblet and the vessel, primary glassblowing forms that suggested to us the physiology of the inner ear. The drawings functioned as non-dimensional starting points for the development of our sculptural and sound making objects.
Our time at Pilchuck was special and we are grateful to the long list of wonderful people who made our experience so memorable including Tina Aufiero, Rebecca Arday, Jim Baker, Ben Wright, our gaffers Manny Krakowski and Netty Blair, our assistants Keunae Song and Anna Masowsky, Alex Gibson in the printshop, Rebekah Birkan, who constructed the amazing frame for the goblets from found metal in the Pilchuck metal shop and Zach Lorenzetti who made music with us and assisted behind the wheel!

Backwashing involves pressurizing the Lifestraw by pumping the red 'baloon' to ensure that particulates and removed from the membranes. The process takes about a minute but ensure that the Lifestraw's lifetime is extended.
We often get confused between our attachment to and our involvement in a situation. Most often we do not even differentiate at all between the two, leading us to the wrong conclusion that they invariably go together.
Joseph O’Connor made a differentiation between involvement and attachment. By involvement he meant the ability and willingness to affect a situation, while attachment signifies how much the outcome affects you, how much you identify with something. It is a different way of looking at whether you feel “at cause” or “at effect” of a situation, but maybe more clearly delineates the two orthogonal states of mind.
