Singing and drinking at the same time! Nice light on the day this was taken, can't wait till the weekend but it'll only count if the weathers good, which I bet it won't be, don't know about the composition in this one so any opinions?

I did my back in last Sunday so haven't been out with a camera. This was my Christmas present, a mini multi-tool. My back is much better now.
Similar to the Choco Bliss or Choco Liscious from the 80's, this cake was baked at plant #07, St. Louis and was NOT an easy one to create. It fizzled away and eventually IBC (at that time) came out a 3 pk Boston Creme and DF cake that had NO sprinkles on them but had the creme filling inserted from on the bottom of the cake similar to Twinkies or Zingers of today. Sadly, these did not make it due to high stale!
I don't usually post two flowers, but it's Wednesday and I thought we all could use a burst of sunshiny Vitamin C and D to get through the rest of the week.

Seen here: Purple corn tortilla chips, tostadas, and plantain chips.
Man... those things're GREAT!
And importantly, when it comes to dips – though salsa verde is comparatively thin – the plantain chips STAND UP!
Salsa verde is similarly easy to make.
Tomatillos, cumin, onion, garlic, jalapeños, cilantro, S&P... run 'em through the food processor, or blender until smooth.
A friend dropped off our child and her large car seat, and I brought them both home on my Big Dummy cargo bike.
The Freeloader bags have a genius feature. The straps extend and are made to buckle to into the straps from the opposite side. So no additional bungees were needed here. I was able to tightly secure this load with the three sets of straps built into the Freeloaders. The open design makes them great for large awkward shapes as well.

38th Whittlesey Straw Bear 2017
In Whittlesea, from when no one quite knows, it was the custom on the Tuesday following Plough Monday (the 1st Monday after Twelfth Night) to dress one of the confraternity of the plough in straw and call him a 'Straw Bear'. A newspaper of 1882 reports that "... he was then taken around the town to entertain by his frantic and clumsy gestures the good folk who had on the previous day subscribed to the rustics, a spread of beer, tobacco and beef".
The tradition fell into decline at the end of the 19th century, the last sighting being in 1909 as it appears that an over-zealous police inspector had forbidden 'Straw Bears' as a form of cadging.
Revival
The custom was revived in 1980 by the Whittlesea Society, and for the first time in seventy years a 'Straw Bear' was seen on the streets accompanied by his attendant keeper, musicians and dancers, about 30 in all. Various public houses were visited around the town as convenient places for the 'Bear' and dancers to perform in front of an audience - with much needed refreshment available.
Using high-powered theatrical lighting, multi-media artist Marianne Nicolson is transforming the Vancouver Art Gallery’s Georgia Street architecture into a spectacular re-imagining of a traditional Kwakwaka’wakw ceremonial house.
Glowing with increased intensity as day gives way to night, the more than 30-foot-wide site-specific projection titled The House of the Ghosts will be presented until January 11, 2009.
The Gallery resides in British Columbia’s former Provincial courthouse, a turn-of-the-century neo-classical building where laws banning the cultures and languages of Canada’s First Nations were in effect.
By imposing the imagery of the traditional Kwakwaka’wakw bighouse on the pillars and lintel of the building, Nicolson symbolizes the survival of Pacific Northwest Coast First Nations cultures and communities, despite active efforts to suppress and eradicate them.
“The House of the Ghosts acts much like traditional performances executed within Kwakwaka’wakw ceremonies where, through an exhibition of the spectacular, it is believed that spirits can be enticed into communion with humans, allowing them to conduct extraordinary feats,” said Nicolson. “In all earnestness, this carefully crafted performance attempts to draw forth the assistance of the supernatural in the healing of First Nations communities and individuals, as well as the conflicted past and present relationships between Aboriginal and Non-Aboriginal groups. Ultimately the work seeks assistance in the healing of the compromised landscape within which all Kwakwaka’wakw, First Nations and Canadians live.”
The House of the Ghosts strongly references the traditional Kwakwaka’wakw belief in a balance that underlies nature. It is understood that the world of ghosts is counterbalanced by the world of humans, and that the spirit world is associated with night and the human world is associated with day. While it is believed that spirits are continuously present, they are only thought to be accessible to humans at night. This concept is made eloquently visible in Nicolson’s installation. Although the work is continuously present on the building’s façade, it only becomes observable in its full form when the sun begins to set.
Though extremely contemporary in its medium, the compositional techniques and subject matter included in The House of the Ghosts are strongly based in the traditions of Pacific Northwest First Nations artists. Using form line, Nicolson has created a highly expressive and symmetrical composition, including stylized killer whales, wolves, owls and a ghost puppet, all believed to heal the sick and revive the dead. Also included is the Sisiutl, a double headed serpent with a human face at its centre, which appears as the crossbeam of the Gallery’s façade, reinforcing a sense of balance.
Marianne Nicolson was born in 1969 and is a member of the Dzawada’enuxw Tribe of the Kwakwaka’wakw Nations of Kingcome Inlet, British Columbia. She first came to prominence in 1998 when she scaled a vertical rock face in Kingcome Inlet to paint a 28×38-foot pictograph—the first in the inlet in more than sixty years—to mark the continued vitality of her ancestral village of Gwa’yi. Nicolson studied at the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design, the University of Victoria and with Kwakwaka’wakw carver Wayne Alfred. Her work has been shown nationally and internationally at venues including the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria, Artspeak, the National Gallery of Canada and Taipei Fine Arts Museum.
The House of the Ghosts is the eighth work presented as a part of NEXT: a series of artist projects from the Pacific Rim. The series highlights work previously unseen in Vancouver and seeks to engage the diverse practices of Pacific Rim artists. The site-specific project is organized by the Vancouver Art Gallery and curated by Daina Augaitis, chief curator/associate director.
Members of the Virginia Defense Force’s Winchester-based 3rd Regiment use the high frequency radios in their Mobile Command Post to conduct a multi-state communications exercise July 18, 2015, in Madison, Va. During the exercise, they successfully communicated via strong signal connections with state guard forces in Indiana and Tennessee and established weak connections with California they hoped to improve with change in atmospheric conditions. The exercise was designed to test the VDF’s ability to communicate if there was an incident that degraded systems like mobile phone networks. Providing interoperable communications is one of the many different missions sets the VDF provides as the all-volunteer auxiliary to the Virginia National Guard. VDF members also assisted the Madison County Sheriff and Parks and Recreation Department with access control at the Madison County Fair.
