Thank you, yet again, for your excellent work and generosity.
I just finished reading the forum for the product Growing Up for Genesis2, and came across this very nice set you're offering. Also the swimwear, very nice. Now it's time to try to study these things and see if I understand correctly. Thank you very much for your work. (I'm learning Blender3D, and hopefully someday will also produce products for folks). Cheers!

Is network.exe safe or is this malware?
Be aware that many tasks will be similiar names to existing tasks or processes. You can always view the running tasks on your computer by pressing ctrl-alt-del to view the windows "task manager", and then view the "processes" tab. This will show you all tasks running or currently active on your PC. Although this shows you all running tasks, it does not show dll file thats are loaded, as they get loaded as part of other processes. Many spyware writers attempt to hide their files on your computer, for example, network.exe may be intentionally misspelled to look like a similiar task, or spyware may be named very similiar to a Windows system task. The reason they do this is so you cannot easily recognize the name in your tasklist as I have mentioned above. Make sure always check the location of the file if you are concerned. You can always find the location of network.exe on your computer by using your Windows search options, but I will also try to list the file location of every file described on this website, so you can verify the correct location. You can view the entire tasklist directory with the link below.

We all want to be wise parents, but parenting is emotional business and if your emotions are out of control, you will be anything but wise. Some parents struggle with challenging children. Divorced parents may struggle with challenging co-parents, or both. These challenges often trigger us into difficult emotional states.
We need to be gentle and compassionate with ourselves. Of course we get triggered into difficult emotional states! There is nothing more important to us than our children. When we care so deeply, the emotional stakes are high. When it feels like something is wrong, it is easy to get triggered.
All parents get triggered, and many things can trigger us. Our child is disrespectful. They won’t brush their teeth or they tell us lies. They loses their homework or get a bad grade or things far more serious than that. Our co-parent threatens to take us to court or badmouths us. Whatever it is.
When we get triggered we often react in habitual ways; we lecture, yell and scream, stomp out of the room, shut down, seek revenge, say shaming things or whatever reaction is unique to us. When we react habitually out of emotions we are acting unwisely. We are allowing our emotions to get the best of us. We are allowing our emotions to be in charge, and we all know how badly that works out.
It works out badly because when we are in emotionally reactive states, we lose our ability to be logical, rational and empathetic. We lose our ability to consider the consequences of our actions. We lose access to the faculties that help us do what contributes to our children’s emotional and psychological health. We wind up doing things that are not in their best interest.
When our nervous systems thinks we’re in danger, they go on high alert. Our impulse is to try to stop whatever is happening outside of us (the trigger) because it feels so dangerous. The problem is that usually we’re not in real danger. A child not brushing their teeth, or a co-parent badmouthing us is not real danger. Our minds might make up catastrophizing stories, like my child will never have good hygiene and therefore will never be a success, or my co-parent will make everyone hate me and then I’ll lose my children. Our minds tell us these stories, but often they have very little or no merit.
When there is an ACTUAL threat, a truly dangerous situation, you want to react quickly without thinking or considering things or being deliberate. If the car in front of you slams on its brakes, you want to just react. You don’t want to think about it for a while or gather too much information. That would be to your detriment.
But in most triggering situations, we are not in REAL danger. And when we react as if we are, we act in unwise ways; ways that are detrimental to our children and to ourselves. These situations need all of our faculties on board in order to act in ways that will be effective.
Then, WHOOSH! The emotion comes in. It enters your mind and body. It overcomes you and overwhelms you. You are hijacked by it and your nervous system is on full alert and ready to defend.
Then one of two things happen. Either you react habitually or you get ahold of yourself and decide not to act habitually.
The first step in getting ahold of yourself is getting MINDFUL. That means that you become aware that you are in a triggered state. It means that you are able to say: “I’m triggered” or “I’m angry” or “I’m anxious” or whatever it is that you’re experiencing. This step is critical. Why? Because the part of you that is “speaking,” the part of you that is saying “Oh, I am triggered now” is different than the part that is triggered.
So now you have two parts. The part that’s triggered and the part that’s NOT triggered (or the mindful part.) Once you establish MINDFULNESS, you have a great resource to work with the emotional state. When you establish mindfulness, you are no longer completely overcome by the emotion. You have your mindful part to help you work with the emotion and help you not react habitually.
Different people use mindfulness differently to work with difficult emotions. Here are some suggestions, but there are many more, and you of course can make up your own!
Bring your attention to your breath. Notice yourself breathing in and breathing out. Notice that the emotion is there, but try to keep your attention on your breath. Notice where the breath comes into your body. Bring your attention to the sensation of the breath coming into your nostrils and follow the path of your breath into your lungs and then follow the out breath. Bringing attention to the breath helps calm your nervous system down so that you can start thinking rationally again. It likely won’t make the emotion totally go away, but it will firmly establish mindfulness. The emotion is not all of who you are. You do not have to react out of your emotion.
Notice that the emotion you are experiencing has physical sensation associated with it. Focus on what that sensation is like. Describe to yourself what the physical sensation is. For example “I am feeling anxiety in the pit of my stomach. It feels like a ball of crazy energy that is vibrating.” Whatever it is. We all experience emotion differently. Bring attention to the physical sensation, focusing on the physical experience of the emotion will take your mind away from the story you are telling yourself. It will help you see that you are just having a physical experience, and that you don’t have to buy into the story your mind is telling you.
Imagine the emotion as a child. I like to imagine anxiety as a scared child. Like a child that is afraid that there is a bogey man in the closet. Imagine that in addition to the child, there is also a wise parent there. The wise parent can comfort the child. The wise parent can say: “I know you’re scared, but I’m here and everything is going to be ok.” You can imagine yourself holding the child. The experience of anxiety, or whatever emotion it is, will still be there, but now you also a have a wise parent that is in charge and making decisions. You are not allowing a scared child to make decisions about what needs to be done.
Say hello to the emotional state. I like to say: “Oh, hello Anger! (or whatever emotion it is). I see you’re here again! I remember you! You’ve been here many times before!” Saying hello is powerful, because it establishes mindfulness, and reminds you that there is simply an emotion present, and just because there is an emotion present does not mean that you have to act on it.
Notice that the emotional state is an experience that is not permanent. We have emotions every day. They come and they go. They are not permanent. When they come in, we take them very seriously, as if they will be here forever and they are in total control. But they’re not. Remind yourself again and again: emotions are just an experiences that come in and go out. The older we get the more we know how true this is. We can learn to not take our emotions so gosh darn seriously.
There are many ways to use mindfulness to help yourself bring rationality, good judgment, empathy, and the ability to consider the consequences of your actions back into emotionally intense situations. Learning these kinds of skills will help you be a more effective parent or co-parent. Without these skills, you are like a plastic bag blowing around in the wind, completely at the mercy of your emotions.

I look forward to attempting to make them at home, now that I have practiced with an expert!

A senior official at DGCA said that ticket prices on high-density routes have risen up to 30 per cent in last one month.
Representatives of various lenders to Jet Airways are also understood to have discussed issues related to Jet Airways with Financial Services Secretary Rajiv Kumar.
"The company has reached out to our lead lender, State Bank of India yet again and stressed on the need for urgent funding requirements, critical to the continuation of the operations of our airline", said Vinay Dube, Chief Executive Officer of Jet Airways.
Jet Airways urgently needs the previously agreed rescue capital injection of at least INR10 billion rupees (USD144 million) to resume operations on a larger scale. Meanwhile, merchant banker SBI Caps, acting on behalf of the group of lenders, has started the process for sale of the financially troubled carrier for lenders.
Reeling under a debt of over Rs 8,000 crore, Jet Airways has grounded nearly its entire fleet and is now operating only 5 planes, according to civil aviation officials.
On Monday, lenders did not take a final decision on providing emergency funds to the cash-strapped carrier.
Creditors can take a defaulting company to the NCLT for seeking approval for resolution under the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (IBC).
Lenders to the cash-strapped Jet Airways are committed to reviving the air carrier but nothing has been finalised yet, Punjab National Bank (PNB) Managing Director Sunil Mehta said on Tuesday.
They include the cars of local favorite Denny Hamlin, a three-time victor on the 0.75-mile oval, Chase Elliott and Matt Tifft . They were those of seven-time series champion Jimmie Johnson , Aric Almirola , Erik Jones , Daniel Suarez and Joey Gase .
The matchup marks the first time the Texans will play in the U.K.in franchise history. The complete slate includes three divisional games and five playoff participants.
Rajasthan made a strong comeback, removing Surya Kumar Yadav (16) and Kieron Pollard (6) to put the pressure back on the host. Wicketkeeping: It will be a tricky choice to pick between the two stalwart keepers - Quinton de Kock or Jos Buttler .
With data gathered from 170 countries, the report says there have been 112,163 cases of measles reported so far in 2019. The CDC recommends MMR (measles, mumps , and rubella) vaccinations for children, starting at 12 months of age.
South Korea: Why has the peninsula been divided? At the time, National Intelligence Service Chief Suh Hoon also visited the North.
Jet Airways aircrafts are seen parked at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai , Monday, April 15, 2019. Goyal quit as chairman of the carrier last month under a debt resolution plan that saw lenders taking control of the airline.
Woods' fifth Masters win was his first at the iconic Georgia course since 2005. "It was just great to see". A bettor who risked $85,000 on Tiger Woods winning the Masters is now more than a million dollars richer.
Wilson has led the Seahawks to the playoffs in six of his seven seasons, the only miss coming in 2017 when Seattle finished 9-7. Wilson is now tied to the Seahawks through the 2023 season with a deal that includes a no-trade clause.

Pleased to advise that you will feel completely safe at this accommodation. There is security locks on your door and the 24hr service desk is also a plus.
Another great thing was that if you drop off your rental car (presumably within the airport region) they will bring you back to the Motor Lodge and vis versa if you need to go to pick up your rental the Motor Lodge will provide transport to the rental office.
Also they have a shuttle service to and from the Airport for pick up from your flight and drop off for your departing flight.
Having an excellent Restaurant on site is also a bonus.
The hotel is very busy and there are people and shuttles coming in and out 24/7. The desk is open 24 hours. We felt very safe at this hotel.
Not sure I understand the question. If you want to know if there is someone at the desk 24/7 the answer would be yes.

In a large sauté pan, heat 1 tablespoon oil. Add the non-reserved Brussels sprouts with 1 teaspoon kosher salt. Sauté over a medium-high flame about 2 minutes, until just wilted and vivid green. Transfer to a large bowl and add the olives, artichoke hearts, peppers, and cheese. Toss together—the cheese will mostly melt.
In another bowl, whisk together remaining 3 tablespoons oil with the vinegar and lemon juice, plus a big pinch of salt. Pour dressing over salad and toss again, adding the reserved raw Brussels sprout shavings. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed with more salt and lemon juice, to make the flavors pop. Serve individual portions topped with toasted breadcrumbs and more cheese.

Harris Pat Powers, 84, Topeka passed away Wednesday, January 30, 2019.
Add your memories to the guest book of H. Pat Powers.
On behalf of all the East Coast Murphys, my wife Susan and I would like to extend our heartfelt condolences to Jerry and the entire Powers family. I'm glad to have spent time with Pat and Jerry over the years, beginning with my time as a student at KU and visiting them with Grandmother Jo Murphy. My sister Neva and I were happy to share a meal with Jerry, Pat, Warren and Sally during our last visit to Kansas in 2017 after the passing of our dad, Tom. I remember Dad talking about Grandmother and her brother Uncle Bud and his wife Aunt Margaret and their family life in and around Junction City. As I began my broadcasting career, it was ironic that my first job brought me to Salina Cable TV in 1982, which I believe was owned by Pat and several partners at the time. Over the years, I learned about Pat's powerful country music station in Topeka, KTPK, his involvement in the Kansas Association of Broadcasters and his time spent building and strengthening a number of radio stations across the state, propelling him to a place in the KAB Hall of Fame. Complete with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren, a full life indeed!
Please accept my deepest sympathies in the loss of your Dad. During these difficult days, just know that you, Sandy, and your family are in my thoughts & prayers. Peace be with you all!
I had the pleasure of knowing Pat when he was one of the owners of KINA in Salina. I also had the opportunity to visit with him at a recent KAB function. He was a great broadcaster and a very good friend.
I am sending you hugs and prayers! I have happy memories of when you and Pat first came to town!
What a kind, giant of a man. I am forever thankful for his faith in me and the leadership he provided to so many in the broadcast arena.
I was saddened to hear of Pat's passing. I wanted to send my sincerest sympathies to Pat's entire family. I am so very sorry for your loss.
What a lovely obituary, Pat lived a very full life, he was a lucky guy. It seems like life has just flew past. It just doesn’t seem that long ago that you two were dating and having such a good time. Pat was always a very positive guy with a happy attitude. He will be missed.
HPat your management, coaching, leadership, success, and mentoring will never be forgotten but carried on.
My condolences to Jerry and all of the family that Pat loved so much. There aren't words that can fill the void Pat leaves in our hearts. I will always remember all the laughs, smiles and good times together. Pat had such a caring sincere heart.
Sincere condolences Jerry and all of the family. I loved the years that I worked for Pat and have wonderful memories of the “good old days.” You all will be remembered in our prayers.
Linda and I hope you get through this period of mourning with the fond memories of your years with Pat. You have alot friends and family to help you with this period.You are not alone..Let me know if I can help..
Pat was a class mate of mine..
We were good friends in high school. As I grew older I better understood how important real friends are. Pat was one of those friends who spent his life doing challenging things and making a difference. He has been a successful family man,a community leader, and a good friend. We have had only brief contact in recent years but the value of long term friendships forever remaaaaains.
I had the opportunity to work for KTPK weekends then evenings while going to law school 1974-77. Pat Powers was a nice guy and a good boss. Those of us who knew him were lucky. I'm so sorry to hear of his passing. He will be missed. C.W.
Mark and Randy, Sorry for your loss. Prayers to you and family.

Well, dear readers, it is very late and I am very tired and therefore I shall write these here notes in a hurry so I can get my beauty sleep. My Beauty Sleep – that’s the title of my next novel. Speaking of my next novel, the first batch of copies are on their way to me, which will be followed shortly by the second batch of copies. Speaking of copies, I had a very busy day yesterday. I got up a little later than usual but only because I’d been up at five in the morning, unable to sleep. I went back to bed at five-thirty and slept until nine-thirty. I did a two-mile jog, then had a bunch of telephonic calls about the upcoming December gig. I’m now told we’ll be in the biggest space at New World Stages, their 499 seat theater. I’m hopeful we’ll be able to fill it, as long as we keep booking powerhouse names. Just yesterday, we got a tentative yes from Rosie O’Donnell, although all performers who are set are subject to schedule changes. I think I’ll reveal all the details come Monday. I did a few errands, then sat down and finished writing the liner notes for the new Kritzerland CD. I finished them, then went back and did some additions and fixes. I’ll read through it again today, and then send them off to the booklet designer. I have to do the credits page and then he’ll have everything. I’m going to try and announce the title in the next couple of weeks. After that, I got a call from Mr. Barry Pearl that he was going to be attending a show at a near-by theater, and since I was going to have to see the show at some point, I called one of the cast and she got me a seat. I met Barry and his ever-lovin’ Cindy at some frozen yogurt jernt in NoHo, and then we walked to the El Portal Theater to see Respect – The Girl Em-Powered Musical. It was in the same theater that Deceit played in and I hadn’t been in the small theater since then. Our very own Miss Alet Taylor is in the cast, so I knew that much of it would be excellent.
This production of this show is from the same team that brought us The Kid From Brooklyn – The Danny Kaye Musical, a show I was less than enamored of, much to the chagrin of the show’s writer/director, Peter J. Loewy with a box around it. I never understand this necessity to put a box around one’s name, especially in a Waiver theater, but that’s just me. I’ll keep it short and sweet – the show is a bit of an odd duck and its book, which isn’t really a book, is its weak link. The songs for the most part are really good choices, but the structure isn’t clear enough, but is probably fixable, that is if anyone cared to fix it. I’m sure the show will get fine reviews (the Times was mostly positive, with the same concerns about the book), because this is the sort of show the LA critics fawn over, at least they have in the past. Mr. Loewy’s work is much better than it was in The Kid From Brooklyn – here he has a decent choreographer and she keeps everything moving along in the numbers. The audience wasn’t really with the show until the end of the first act – very few numbers got anything but polite applause, but then Alet suddenly digs into It Must Be Him, and for the first time in the show, you can see what the show should be – she brings down the house because there’s a complete point of view for the song, and she wrings every laugh anyone could ever get out of it. It’s the high point of the show and sends the audience out to intermission on a definite high. The second act is much like the first – it ambles along pleasantly, but there are no real knock ’em dead highlights like Alet’s act one closer. Still, the audience seemed to have a good time, and the other three gals are very good. I’m not sure it’s going to reach quite the same audience as The Marvelous Wonderettes, which ran in the small El Portal space for over a year – that show was a simple, feel-good potpourri of songs and humor. This show has a little more on its mind, but it just doesn’t convey what that is in a very clear way. Tech credits are fine, save for the lighting, which I didn’t care for – too many dark spots on the stage with people completely out of light, plus those loud and annoying automatic gel change lights. The projections looked very good and were mostly well chosen.
After the show, we chatted with Alet, who really was terrific. Her father was in town for the show, so it was nice to see him again (we had dinner at Joe Allen about ten years ago), and we met a couple of other cast members, plus the understudy, the lovely Shari Jordan, who choreographed The Brain Tap in our original production. I then came home and sat on my couch like so much fish, eating some fresh fruit.
Well, why don’t we all click on the Unseemly Button below because I really do need my beauty sleep.
Today, I continue the arduous task of trying to set a music rehearsal. No one can meet on the same day – it’s really ridiculous. So, I may have to split this over two days, and even then it’s still nigh unto impossible. Well, we’ll do our best. I’ll also hone the liner notes, jog, and eat something amusing. Last night, I began watching Back To The Future, which I’ll finish later today.
Tomorrow, I shan’t do much of anything, because this upcoming week is going to be really busy and really stressful, so a nice day off will at least relax me.
Well, dear readers, I must take the day, I must do the things I do, I must, for example, jog, hone liner notes, and eat something amusing, as well as finish Back To The Future. Today’s topic of discussion: What are your favorite fruits, and what do you do with them that’s special, other than eat them. Do you have some recipes for fruit, because I’m interested in hearing interesting things to do with fruit. Interesting Things To Do With Fruit – that’s the title of my next novel, a story of intrigue in the exotic wilds of Pago Pago.

Really? Saying “It’s O.K. to be white” is considered to be white supremacist and extremist!
Here is a video of Joe Biden saying that it is a good thing that massive non-white immigration is reducing whites to being a minority. The other Democrat presidential are taking more extreme anti-white positions, such as advocating whites paying reparations to non-whites.
Politics used to be aligned on a Right v. Left axis. Now it is Nationalist v. Globalist. Or between those who say it is okay to be White, and those working to exterminate Whites.

This outfit all began after a short trip around the corner to my local crafting consignment shop, where I found the amazing fabric for the blouse featured in this post. The print (Asian Art Deco?) was irresistible and there was just enough of it to scrape out a blouse. Next up was a search for the perfect 1930's blouse pattern. That proved to be a little easier said than done, as I had trouble finding a blouse pattern that suited the fabric. I did settle on a gorgeous 1930's dress pattern with a fabulous neck bow, that could be converted into a blouse and skirt.
A 1920's Blouse Done 3 ways with One Vintage Dress Pattern - Miss Fisher Wardrobe or Bust!
As part of my quest to build a "Miss Fisher" wardrobe, I've sewed up three little blouses inspired by separates her character wears in different episodes. This post will show you 3 blouses I have made, starting with one pattern and explain how you can do it too!
Well, the day of the ball arrived and I was prepared! This year's theme was Death on The Nile (the Agatha Christie Murder Mystery) with a focus on Egyptian Revival of the Art Deco era.
Designer Theresa LaQuey at Gatsby Summer Afternoon wearing a Vintage gown of her creation using vintage fabric.
In preparation for draping my Art Deco Preservation Ball Gown, I reached out for a little advice and encouragement from Couture Vintage Clothing Designer, Theresa LaQuey. She has a wealth of knowledge, after spending many years creating beautiful bespoke creations for ladies with an eye for vintage style. Our Conversation is below.
Additionally, we will be doing another giveaway this week. Theresa has generously given us an autographed copy of one of the Simplicity patterns that she designed. I'll do a random drawing of our email subscribers to see who wins!
Gorgeous vintage style by Theresa LaQuey on the Red Carpet!
Jennifer: Theresa, I'll likely drape a late 20's look in silk charmeuse and chiffon and will probably take a trip to Britex Fabrics for some pretty beaded appliques. A friend gave me a purple and yellow ombre length of silk, that I intend to use for the main part of dress. I think the purple yellow combo will be my ode to Egypt but maybe I'll do a fun head dress as well. I'm still in the planning stages. Do you have any advice as to how I should begin?
Firstly, I so admire your thoughts on draping your gown. If I may make a recommendation, try to find the pattern making and draping book that was printed by the Women's Institute of Domestic Arts and Sciences, Scranton PA, published in 1928?? I think. When I was learning my trade, a dear fellow student gave me a xeroxed copy of that book. It made all sorts of dress making from the 1920s very plain and simple. Just geometry and physics.
I would like to teach you to bead. I know the Tambour method. It takes about one hundred hours to learn it, and another couple of thousand hours to perfect it. But oh boy it is worth it.
However, purchased appliqués can work. Just make sure they are soft, not stiff. Also, give a call to the Fashion Company in SF. They have carried appliqués and are very great. Be prepared to meet the minimum of $70.
Jennifer: How & When & Where did you first begin studying bespoke sewing and couture design?
Well, my mother was the costume designer at Diablo Valley College (DVC) and my whole family has been stitchers for at least 100 years. My mother was paid so poorly and because of that, I started hanging out in the costume department with my mom at age 5.
(Later in life) I was in the punk scene and got married to the lead singer of the Dead Kennedys. He was a collector of vintage records. That’s when, I started collecting vintage patterns. After we broke up, I started the apparel design program at DVC. It was a fantastic program. If you want to get into design, don’t spend $30,000/year. Go to a community college. It’s an amazing experience.
Then, in 1987, I ended up partnering with Mark Jones, making couture gowns and learning how to bead..
Our very first commission was a wedding gown was a replica from a movie Topper with Constance Bennett and Cary Grant. I had to have foot surgery and I spent my time, in bed with my feet up, beading that gown.
Jennifer: At the Art Deco Preservation Ball 2 Years ago, I was completely impressed with all the glamorous ladies walking around that evening, at the Oakland Scottish Rite. Each woman looked spot-on, and I thought for sure they were all wearing mint condition vintage. Then later that night you were honored with a special display of all the ladies wearing your gowns (I think there must have been over 30 ladies standing up near the stage) and nearly all of the gowns on display were the exquisite designs I had been admiring earlier . It was wonderful seeing the variety of designs you produced from the Art Deco Era and the 1930’s styling in particular. Is this your favorite era? Or just the one most on display?
It’s my favorite era ever. I consider myself more of a mathematician than a designer. It sounds crazy but you are dealing with the geometry of stretch, when it comes to Bias. When you get into the 30’s they are really applying that “wonderful” of the 1920’s to the feminine form. One tip - Avoid Side seams. The 1930’s is my favorite (era) because it’s so unexpected. If you go in there like an explorer, you’ll learn a lot about making clothes.
Jennifer: Are your couture gowns original designs, inspired by the era, do you use vintage patterns or a combination?
A combination of both. We have a joke around the house that I’ve copied so many Adriens that we call them LaQuey-driens. I’ve done plenty of original designs as well. Mainly I do bespoke (gowns) only for friends, these days.
Jennifer: For this year’s preservation ball, I will be draping a gown in the late 1920’s style. When I made my gown two years ago, I made a corset to go under. The pattern was reproduced from a 1920’s pattern and had the perfect silhouette for the straight lines of my gown. I’m planning to do the same this year but for a dress that will have a little more shape appropriate to the later 1920’s. Did you ever make foundation garments for your gowns? Did you build foundations in the garment?
I have built foundation garments into gowns but they are more 1950’s gowns. The thing about 30’s gowns especially, is that they should look like they were blown on to the body and just land there.
Jennifer: Do you have a favorite material to work with for vintage gowns?
These ladies are incredible. The weight of the fabric is incredible.
Then I have a supplier out of the east coast and Los Angeles - Eastern Silk Co. (trade only) they carry 4ply crepe and crepe back satin in 144 colors.
C&J Textiles in NY - the fabric they carry for called Silk Vanity - The colors are gorgeous. I’m working on another gown this month in this fabric.
Jennifer: Along the same lines, do you have a favorite gown that you’ve made? Who did you make it for? Would you describe it for us or do you have a photo?
I do - Do you know of Mr. Pear? I worked with Mr. Pearl last year and we did a dress together for a burlesque artist.
From my own projects I would have to say the Chanel Fireworks dress. It was so hard. All beaded. Black Chiffon with poly-chromatic sequins. Every time you have to knot off each sequin individually. It’s a beautiful evening gown. The woman who wore it is incredibly elegant.
Jennifer: You always look so fantastic when I see you at Art Deco events. Do you dress in Vintage everyday?
I do not wear modern clothing. Most of the time I spend in trousers and a turtleneck. I used to wear beautiful clothing but it always gets ruined. I do not wear makeup either.
I have a pattern for some vintage trousers and have made up about 6 pairs of them. The woman on the cover of the pattern, is standing there, roasting a weenie.
I wear turtle necks in the winter and the rest of the time I wear “The Blouse” which is made from a 1930’s pattern.
Jennifer: After seeing your beautiful couture work for years, I found out that you make sewing patterns as well. What kind of patterns do you specialize in? And where can we buy them?
Simplicity patterns. My sister is Andrea Schewe and she got me the job. She was designing for Simplicity. It’s so crazy. I have 3 sisters. Andrea is 10 years older than me and our older sister convinced her to go to NY.
I went to celebrate my sister's wedding anniversary and Andrea told me to bring my portfolio. I sat down, with Simplicity Patterns, and they looked through my portfolio and they asked me “ What could you do for us?” I did a swing skirt. I made it up. It ended up selling 25,000 copies.
Then, I got assigned Steampunk. I had just done a Steampunk wedding and was so grateful. I became top designer at Simplicity afterward. That means your pattern is outselling everything else. My sister has been top designer as well.
Jennifer: Thank you so much for giving this interview and for generous giveaway of an autographed pattern! Finding out more about you and hearing all your sage advice has been priceless!
YOU can find out more about Theresa and see more photos of her exquisite creations by visiting her Facebook Page.
After I interviewed Sewing Blogger and Hat Enthusiast, Chuleenan Svetvilas, I asked her if she would meet me at Lacis to help with some of my millinery choices. We met inside (where I as already busy picking out boning for my foundation garment) and then did the tour of the Millinery section.
Dresses from the late 1920's that show the silhouette of the times (from my Pinterest board).

FUN TIMES AT THE ART DECO PRESERVATION BALL!
The Gown is almost finished. just need to add a little sequined detail at the shoulder and Waist.
Every year in May the Art Deco Society of California puts on an amazing Soiree in an authentic Art Deco Setting. This year the Preservation Ball was at the Scottish Rite Center in Downtown Oakland, right across the street from Lake Merit.
One of my favorite things to do when creating something like this, is to use materials i have on hand. Luckily, I had some lovely silk hanging around. I did NOT however, have large pieces of anything in particular.
This incredible gold color peacock pattern silk jacquard was the only fancy fabric I had enough yardage to start with. It also coordinates very well with my gold art deco t-strap shoes, so it was an obvious pick. A friend had given me an amazing piece of green and gold lace. There was only about a yard of it, but combined with the gold peacock silk and a lighter green washed silk, the assortment of fabrics really worked.
Here are some photos of my dress in progress.

The nondiscrimination and affirmative action provisions of the Vietnam Era Veterans� Readjustment Assistance Act of 1974, as amended, 38 U.S.C. 4212, (�VEVRAA� ) are administered by the Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) and the Veterans� Employment and Training Service (VETS). VEVRAA generally covers employers with federal contracts or subcontracts that meet the threshold amount specified in the statute. The employer is covered under VEVRAA if the federal contract or subcontract is in the amount of $150,000 or more. Contracts covered by VEVRAA are subject to the implementing regulations found at 41 CFR Part 60-300.
Those with state or local governments, except for the specific government entity that participates in work on or under the contract.
The categories of veterans covered under VEVRAA are disabled veterans, recently separated veterans (within three years of discharge or release from active duty), active duty wartime or campaign badge veteran, and veterans who, while serving on active duty in the Armed Forces, participated in a U.S. military operation for which an Armed Forces Service Medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985 (61 FR 1209).
VEVRAA and its implementing regulations apply only to the specific state or local government entities that participate in work on or under a Federal contract or subcontract. The coverage is narrower than that which applies to employers in the private sector.
�Disabled veteran� means a veteran who served on active duty in the U.S. military ground, naval, or air service and is entitled to disability compensation (or who but for the receipt of military retired pay would be entitled to disability compensation) under laws administered by the Secretary of Veterans Affairs, or was discharged or released from active duty because of a service-connected disability.
�Recently separated veterans� means any veteran who served on active duty during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran�s discharge or release from active duty.
�Armed forces service medal veteran� means any veteran who, while serving on active duty in the U.S. military ground, naval, or air service, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces service medal was awarded pursuant to Executive Order 12985 (61 Fed. Reg. 1209).
The regulations implementing VEVRAA include the obligation to refrain from discrimination in employment against protected veterans. The regulations also require all covered contracts and subcontracts to include a specific equal opportunity clause. The regulations provide the required language for this clause at 41 CFR 60-300.5.
Covered contractors and subcontractors are also required to make reasonable accommodations for the known physical or mental limitations of qualified disabled veterans, unless providing an accommodation would create an undue hardship. In addition, covered contractors and subcontractors are required to take all necessary actions to ensure that no one attempts to intimidate or discriminate against any individual for filing a complaint or participating in a proceeding under VEVRAA.
Affirmative Action Program. Under the regulations implementing VEVRAA, certain contractors and subcontractors are required to have a written affirmative action program (AAP). Each contractor or subcontractor that has (1) 50 or more employees, and (2) a federal contract or subcontract of $150,000 or more, must prepare, implement, and maintain a written AAP for each of its establishments.
Additional information on AAPs may be found on the OFCCP Web site.
A contractor establishment required under VEVRAA to develop and maintain a written AAP must preserve its AAP supporting documentation for the immediately preceding year, unless the contractor establishment was not then covered by the AAP requirement.
Employees and applicants for employment with a covered Federal contractor or subcontractor have the right to file a complaint with OFCCP if they believe that the contractor or subcontractor has discriminated against them on the basis of their status as a protected veteran or otherwise violated VEVRAA and its implementing regulations. Such complaints may be filed online at OFCCP�s How to File a Complaint Web page.
Contractors and subcontractors who hold a single Federal contract or subcontract in excess of $150,000 are required to post the Equal Employment Opportunity (EEO) notice, EEO is the Law poster (PDF) and supplement. Federal contractors and subcontractors who (1) hold government bills of lading; (2) serve as a depository of Federal funds in any amount; or (3) act as issuing and paying agents for U.S. savings bonds and notes must also post the EEO is the Law poster and supplement.
The notice and supplement must be posted in conspicuous places available to employees and applicants for employment and representatives of each labor union with which the covered contractor or subcontractor has a collective bargaining agreement, such as, the personnel office, work-out facility, lunchroom, or company bulletin board. There is no particular size requirement.
The notice and supplement are available in Spanish and Chinese. Posting of the notice in languages other than English is not required.
Contractors that have the obligation to develop a written VEVRAA AAP must post a notice at each establishment providing the location and hours the AAP may be viewed. Additionally, the policy statement required by the VEVRAA AAP regulations must be posted on company bulletin boards, and made available in accessible format, if necessary, (e.g., large print, or audio file) so that applicants and employees with disabilities are informed of the contents of the policy statement.
Federal contractors and subcontractors with fewer than 150 employees or a contract of less than $150,000 must keep records for one year from the date of the making of the personnel record or personnel action, whichever occurs later.
Federal contractors and subcontractors with 150 or more employees or who have a government contract of $150,000 or more must keep employment records for two years from the date of the making of the personnel record or personnel action, whichever occurs later.
Affirmative Action Program. Under VEVRAA, each employer that has both a Federal contract or subcontract of $150,000 or more, and 50 or more employees, must prepare, implement, and annually update a written affirmative action program (AAP) covering each of its establishments. The employer must make it available for inspection by any employee or applicant for employment, as well as by OFCCP. The program may be integrated with, or kept separate from, any other AAPs the employer is required to prepare. Additional information on AAPs may be found on the OFCCP Web site.
Federal contractors or subcontractors with a federal contract or subcontract of $150,000 or more, are required to complete and submit the VETS-4212 Report showing the numbers of protected veterans hired or employed during the reporting period. The VETS-4212 Report may be completed online.
Note that contractors may be asked to submit AAPs or other employment records to OFCCP if selected for a compliance evaluation or because of a complaint investigation.
OFCCP conducts compliance evaluations and complaint investigations assessing whether Federal contractors and subcontractors are in compliance with VEVRAA. If a violation is found, OFCCP may ask the Federal contractor or subcontractor to enter into conciliation negotiations. If conciliation efforts succeed, the contractor will enter into a binding conciliation agreement with OFCCP that includes corrective action the contractor will take, and may also include the submission of follow-up reports from the contractor, for a fixed period of time, to assure compliance. If conciliation efforts fail, OFCCP may initiate an administrative enforcement proceeding by filing an administrative complaint against the contractor or subcontractor.
If OFCCP files an administrative complaint, the matter will be referred to an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), who hears the case and recommends a decision. The Department of Labor�s Administrative Review Board issues final decisions. If the contractor or subcontractor is dissatisfied with the ALJ's decision, it may appeal the decision to the Board.
If the Board finds that the contractor or subcontractor has violated VEVRAA, it may order the contractor or subcontractor to provide appropriate relief, which may include restoration of back pay and employment status and benefits for the victim(s) of discrimination. Depending upon the circumstances, violations also may result in cancellation, suspension, or termination of contracts, withholding of progress payments, or debarment.
There are no related state or local laws.

SAN FRANCISCO – As budget-conscious consumers shifted more of their purchases to value-priced wines, 2008 California wines sales to the U.S. market edged up 2% in volume over the previous year to an estimated 467 million gallons (196.3 million nine-liter cases). The estimated retail value of these shipments totaled approximately $18.5 billion, down slightly from 2007, according to Gomberg-Fredrikson & Associates.
Total California winery shipments to both the U.S. and export markets increased 3% in volume to 570 million gallons (239.8 million nine-liter cases) last year.
The impact of the recession on wine sales varied widely nationwide and created complex market conditions, according to Fredrikson. Restaurant volume declined an estimated 10% as consumers dined out less and purchased lower-priced bottles and wines-by-the glass. Businesses scaled back on travel and entertainment budgets. Restaurants adjusted by carrying less inventory and ordering more frequently -- often purchasing less expensive brands. Some distributors also reduced inventory levels to keep investment to a bare minimum. As sales to the trade channels declined, small- and mid-sized wineries placed more focus on direct-to-consumer and tasting room sales. These channels slowed down as well as consumers conserved cash and reduced travel.
As consumers saved funds by enjoying wines at home, U.S. food store wine volume increased by nearly 1.2 million cases, up 1.6% in 2008, according to The Nielsen Company, which tracks product sales based on information gathered at the retail point-of-sale. These grocery stores account for close to 45% of off-premise volume in the U.S. Dollar sales rose by 4.7%. The top varietal wines by market share in U.S. food store volume were: Chardonnay, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and White Zinfandel, accounting for over half of the sales. Notable gains by case volume increases in food stores were Cabernet Sauvignon (up 8%), Chardonnay (up 4%), Pinot Noir (up 16%), Pinot Grigio (up 6%), Sauvignon Blanc (up 6%), Riesling (up 10%) and Merlot (up 2%).
Shipments into U.S. trade channels of wine from California, other states and foreign producers rose 1% to 753 million gallons (317 million cases), compared to the previous year, and the retail value of approximately $30 billion after distributor and retailer/restaurateur mark ups was slightly down. Of the total volume, table wine sales were 658 million gallons; dessert wine 64 million gallons; and sparkling wine 32 million gallons. The 467 million gallons shipped by California wineries to the U.S. accounted for a 62% share of the U.S. market.
Overall sparkling wine/champagne consumption declined 3% in 2008 to 32 million gallons (13.4 million cases), compared to the previous year. California sparklers grew 1%, accounting for 58% of the total volume sold, while foreign sparkling wine declined 8%. The sparkling wine/champagne category represents about 4.2% of all wine sales in the U.S.
U.S. wine exports reached $1 billion and 55 million cases (130 million gallons) in 2008, an increase of 6% in value and 8% in volume, compared to 2007. In Europe, where the U.S. ships nearly half of its exports, winery revenues totaled $486 million. Wine exports to Canada were $260 million, up 11%, compared to the previous year. U.S./California wine exports have increased 80% by value in the last decade. California now exports about 18% of its total volume sales and accounts for 90% of U.S. wine exports.

Do you think Google nailed it? Did this announcement get you interested in smartwatches? I personally am really excited to see what comes from this.
Android Wear definitely re-ignited my interest in smartwatches. I am interested to see what they come out with next.
wizzrah, dbareis and dpham00 like this.
What they've shown so far is the Google Now watch everyone seems to be wanting.
They probably will. It really sounds like a prototype code name. But in all honesty, if they didn't, I'd be ok with it. As long as the OS works great, I don't care what they call it.
As long as the OS works great, I don't care what they call it.
Hehe. They will probably use something simple like "Wrist OS" or similar to that.
It really does look like they naied what I wanted in a wearable device. I'm still not convinced a watch is the form factor I want (I think Glass is closer to what I want). However, it will come down to two deciding factors for me: price and battery life. I have no problem charging a watch every night, especially if it uses wireless charging. I do not wear a watch to bed anyway, so I don't care if it has to charge while it sits on my night stand every night instead of just sitting on my night stand every night. Price is the real big one. I've never spent more than $120 on a watch. I'm willing to go over that for a smartwatch, but I'm not sure by how much. At $200, based on what we've seen, I'd probably buy. At $250, I would have to give it serious though and there may need to be another killer feature they haven't revealed yet. At $300, barring some earth shattering feature they're saving till the watches launch, I'll probably wait for sale/clearance. I understand people pay many times $300 for a watch already, however I'm not one of those people. Sure, have the jewelery quality smartwatches that cost hundreds or even over $1,000 for those who want that, but someone should serve the low end too. A $100-$150 Android Wear device that has a simple design with inexpensive yet quality materials will sell like hotcakes.
I'm still up in the air on smart watches in general. I don't think I have a need for it other than the possibilities for exercise. None of the other features that I saw really tickles my fancy that I would make me think that I need a separate device other than my phone. I would be much more inclined with a watch than the google glass though. I doubt I will ever wear the glasses.
The Moto 360 is a very nice looking watch though.
Though the circular screen of the moto360 is necessary and a great start.
Style in this scenario is a huge part of whether or not this will take off.
Brand imaging will have a big part, and I think Fossil (the only fashion partner with Google Wear) has the wrong brand imaging for this.
Android Wear is as great as idea as the Android OS itself. I sure Android Wear will probably surpass Chromo OS, Google TV and even Glass. Once Glass gets over all the legal issues then Google Wear and Glass will be just popular as original Android OS.
I was looking at fitness bands over a smartwatch until the Moto 360 was revealed. Looking forward to seeing it in person.
I was simply making a analogy that means android wear would be very popular in smart watch segment like android is for the smart phones. However smart watches over time will replace the standard mechanical watch then a billion is actually a huge possibility for android.
Rotary to smart phones is evolution in technology. Every home once had a rotary phone is America now their are probably are average of 3 to 4 smart phones in a house. Mechanical watches will go with times as the limited functional will suffice in technological world that thrives on vast array of information given by technology. I see more than billion as time goes on.
What's the deal with Google Play?
How do I know if I'm on 4G connection?

Click Here to Read the CCPD's K-9 Operations Policy.
For what purposes are police service dogs used in the CCPD K-9 Unit?
Assist officers in training and public demonstrations.
What happens when an officer uses a dog to stop a suspect from fleeing or resisting arrest?
Once released, police dogs are trained to chase and seize hold of a suspect. The officer will immediately advise the suspect to stop resisting the dog. If the suspect persists, the dog may need to adjust its hold, resulting in more than one bite. After the suspect complies with the officer’s commands, the dog will be instructed to release its hold and to assume a “watch” position in case the suspect again tries to flee or resist.
All suspects bitten by police service dogs will be transported to a hospital for medical treatment.
Can police service dogs be used at public events and demonstrations?
Police service dogs may not be used at public events or demonstrations, except for crowd control where there is a life-threatening situation, such as a violent riot. In those situations, dogs will be used as a general deterrent to disorderly behavior. Officers will keep dogs on short leashes to maintain full control. Officers will prevent dogs from offensively biting, unless there is a need to prevent imminent loss of life or serious bodily injury.

Guthrie’s School for boys was once a youth detention center, but is now abandoned. It is said that a dark figure now haunts the bell tower located in the center of the school.
We had a wedding at the Dominion House (the old boys home) a few years ago. When we went to tour it, I was unaware of the stories behind the place, only that it was a beautiful place to have an outdoor wedding. Upon driving up to the back entrance, I glanced around and noticed a nun or a nurse in a dress/robe, wearing a white nurse/nun hat, sitting in a circular brick architectural feature next to the back door. She was as plain as day. She didn’t look mean or menacing, but gentle and calm, like she could be relaxing or taking a smoke break. I didn’t think too much about it, since I had no idea what other purposes this gigantic building facilitated. They have chapels for weddings, so I suppose, I thought they made have more catholic religious purposes, such as a convent or senior care facility, so I didn’t think too much about it. When we parked and got out, she was gone. Once inside, I asked the manager why they have nuns here (I was just curious). He said that, besides us, there was only one other person in the building. Weird. I also felt like someone was watching us the entire time we were in the hallway and ballroom area. Nothing deviant, nothing creepy, it just felt like someone else was with us on the tour. There are definitely “people” still hanging around there, and although I didn’t see/hear any “children”, I don’t think these spirits are as sad and depressing as the stories claim.
It’s been fasinating reading all the posts. Most of them are good examples of why you shouldn’t believe half of what you hear and almost nothing that you read. First of all, it wasn’t a boys home or school or detention center. It was the “Masonic Children’s Home”. That’s Children as in boys and girls. It was owned and operated by the Oklahoma Masonic Lodge. The occupants were children of Masons and Eastern Star members who were going through difficult times and needed a safe place for their children to live. Nobody was ever murdered in the basement. Nobody ever hung themselves in the bell tower. There are no bodies buried out back.
It was a blessing to hundreds of families during hard times. The children were cared for with as much love as you can give when they’re not your own kids. The food was fabulous. The dormitories were comfortable and safe. I can tell you that it was much safer to live there than in many of my school friend’s homes. No drunken fathers or mothers to be afraid of. No going hungry. A comfortable bed to sleep in every night. A full wardrobe for all occasions. Opportunities to learn to play musical instruments in the Masonic Home band. Yes, there was an indoor, heated swimming pool, an indoor full basketball court, a baseball diamond in the playground. A variety of playground equipment. Air conditioned dorms before most families had air conditioning in their homes.
I could go on and on. It wasn’t perfect, but it was the best thing that ever happened to me and my brothers and sisters.
I just wanted to write this to set the record straight. It’s a little offensive to read all the made-up lies and garbage about The Home. It falsely tarnishes the memory of an institution that was a blessing to hundreds if not thousands of kids for over fifty years.
It was a very good thing the Masons did and I say “thank you”.
My mom and two of her sisters lived here in the 1930’s. My mom was 5 when she went to the home. She stayed there until she was 17 years old. The reason they were there was not because they were poor. My grandfather died at the age of 30 by a razor cut that became infected. Her mom tried to keep the family together, however she had a head injury after a car accident and felt they would be better taken care of there. My grandfather was a mason and this was available for children of masons. Mom said they had everything except their parents. Ice cream socials, skating and indoor pool. Most everyone struggled through the Depression they had alot. The Eastern Star group put my Mom through business school. She taught herself how to sew at the home. My Mom is 92 today and the only living sister. She recited recently the pray they would pray prior to meals.
In thy own kindly way.
Each standing behind their chairs. Although she was not always happy there no mention of ghosts. She did indicate sone of the staff were not kind. My uncle was also at the home but ran away.

Willem Dafoe is in discussions to join the cast of the adaptation of Dean R. Koontz’s 2003 novel “Odd Thomas” for Fusion Films reports Heat Vision.
The story follows Odd Thomas (Anton Yelchin), an optimistic twenty-year-old short-order cook who can see both dead people and the shadowy figures called ‘bodachs’ that appear around death and disaster. When bodachs seem to be swarming around a diner customer he nicknames ‘Fungus Man’, Odd is convinced the man is connected to a terrible catastrophe about to occur.
Dafoe will portray the police chief in a small California town and one of only two people who know Thomas’ secret. Addison Timlin signed on earlier this week to play Thomas’ girlfriend, Stormy Llewellyn.
Stephen Sommers is directing the movie from a script he adapted. Howard Kaplan and John Baldecchi will produce and shooting kicks off May 2nd in Santa Fe, New Mexico.

We’d love your help. Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Anatomy of Movement by Blandine Calais-Germain.
To ask other readers questions about Anatomy of Movement, please sign up.
Seems good to use with clients and for demonstrative purposes, but there are better (dynamic) anatomy texts.
It feels a little simplistic which may actually cause more confusion, especially since similar areas of the body are covered in different areas.
Currently I am reading this book for a yoga teacher training course, so this review will be in the format of notes to myself for the TT.
-easy to understand dra Currently I am reading this book for a yoga teacher training course, so this review will be in the format of notes to myself for the TT.
-The information about all of the muscles attached to the pelvis made me wonder about childbirth and hip replacements, especially when an older person has a double hip replacement - it seems like it would be quite complicated to reattach all of the muscles during a hip replacement surgery; it also seems inevitable for muscles to rip during childbirth.
-Important for yoga students to warm up their hamstrings before engaging in deeper poses.
Excellent, dense and technical, this book looks at the inner workings of the skeleton, joints and muscles as they pertain to human movement. Discussions of how movement relates to organs and other parts of human anatomy are not included, which focuses the book on just movement. If you're looking for how movement can affect internal organs, look elsewhere. But if you're looking for a very thorough explanation of how the body moves, this is your book.
Highly recommended for yoga students/teachers.
I am reading this book again because it is just such a wonderful perspective on anatomy from a very functional perspective. It probably isn't the last time I will read it, either. I think this one is a must read for any manual or movement therapist.
Another perfect book for anyone interested in movement. The descriptions of how the body works to create movement and the types of movement are detailed and easy to understand. A must-have for massage therapists and fitness instructors.
This book is so informative that I am never not reading it.
Wish the diagram were colored but the description and explanation is spot on.
#1. Concise Book of Yoga Anatomy by Jo Ann Staugaard-Jone.

#1 is Phenomenal. Lays great emphasis on all aspects of musculoskeletal system like ligaments, tendons, aponeurosis, nerves, etc.
Have great great things about Ray Long's book but yet to read that one, maybe that can up this one.
#2 is Good. Simple language. Lot of space to make notes. I use it as my anatomy notebook rather than textbook.
Good diagrams, pretty broad descriptions and drawings of some portions but a great book to get the general idea. Of course other books will have more intimate explorations of singular joint/muscle mechanisms, but this book is great for the reader wanting to get a wholistic idea of the human musculoskeletal system.
One of the best books for understanding anatomy from a non-medical perspective. Plenty of clear illustrations interspersed with concise and practical text to help decipher the joints and muscles of the human body. If you move, read this book!
It gives you a good overview of the skeletal muscles, tendons and ligaments of the body.
Nothing special, just a good overview, if you are looking for something which focuses more on a specific topic like joints or how you can train the muscles then this is not the book for you.
However, I’d still recommend this to every trainer and coach, to get a general idea of where are those muscles.
just the best book of movement I have read.
This book is amazing. Not only is the information presented in a logical and fascinating way, but the illustrations are so incredibly good and sensitive that this is, no joke one of the two best artistic anatomy books I've ever seen. In any artistic or medical situation I make sure I have my copy of this book with me.
This is seriously one of the most useful books you can ever possibly purchase.
Excellent book on body mechanics. The author a ballet practitioner, provides hundreds of illustrations of anatomical parts of the body including bones, muscle, ligaments, and the possible movements for each part of the body. A great reference for anyone into sports and has a desire to better understand the body.
This book is from the required reading list for my yoga teacher training class. While I haven't read the entire book (we still haven't studied the forearm and the hand), I must say this book's drawings and attention to detail make it an excellent resource for those studying anatomy for dance or yoga.
The thrill-ride of the summer!
Jokes aside, this is an excellent reference I would recommend to anyone. The depth of explanation and detail and the precision of the diagrams make this a volume I will surely hold onto.
This book might be more of a browser that I'll revisit from time to time. It's incredibly well laid-out, discussing each part of the body and the mechanics of its movement. Fascinating stuff these flesh sacks we walk around in all day.
Great book for every student of anatomy. I love illustrations - easy to undestand with them.
I can highly reccomend this book. You will learn not only basic anatomy, but also how body works in movements. Great source for every personal trainer!!
This is a wonderful anatomy book. It was written for dancers to help them avoid injury, but it was brought to my attention by a physical therapist and I find it helpful in my art for understanding human movement.
Recommend by my pilates instructor. Flipped through it and it looks AWESOME. Thinking of ordering it from B&N, I want to have it, and it's not available from the library.
This book was written by a dancer for dancers - it is a great book for anyone interested in movement as it shows the muscles as they 'are in motion'. Terrific reference book!
consume slowly as it is dense. Great reference text for yoga.
"Short, deep muscles (e.g., those inserting on the vertebrae or foot bones) tend to be responsible for precise, small-scale adjustments rather than gross movements."
very helpful in my Feldenkrais sstudies.
A great reference for understanding anatomy and muscle structure.
Great need-to-know guide. Use this when studying pilates and yoga. Excellent reference tool when used with a more traditional anatomy book.
I'm re-reading this in preparation for more Pilates training. Great book for those who want to know more about the anatomy of movement!
I've used this book twice--once in art class, and once in dance class. It's not fantastic, but it clearly illustrates the basics of movement.

I’m very grateful to have gotten the number of views on Youtube which this video has generated so far. I’ve had a few folks ask for tab, but I can’t post tabs of the entirety of this one, due to copyright issues. For today, I’m posting this first draft of a chord page based on the chords I used (mostly) on this video. I’ve already noticed a couple of places where they’re different. So, I’ll try to update this week, if I have time. This first page covers the shapes used in the first verse and chorus mostly.
I’ll try to post a second page to cover the “instrumental” section and the bridge and later, update this one for corrections. I’ll also post a video talking through some of the chord shapes and my approach to playing it. Thanks so much for checking out this video, for subscribing and for all of the gracious comments.
Here’s a basic triad chord solo of “Jolly Old St Nicholas”. It has only 10 unique combinations of chord and melody, but I added one additional voicing. I’ll post a video for it later. Click on the image to download the pdf.
There are various ways to harmonize a major scale. Here is one way which is uses mostly alternating D, G and A chords. You’ll notice that there are multiple voicings for each chord, but there are only three unique chord “shapes” in the whole thing. All chord voicings, except the first one, are on string-set 1 (strings 1-3), and I’ve labeled the scale degrees of the chord tones under the names of each chord.
Names like “1st inversion” aren’t really specific enough, in terms of indicating omitted chord tones etc.
Also, inversion names or figured bass symbols relate primarily to the bass voice, which is kind of backwards for thinking of chord voicings in terms of chord solos (or chord-melody playing).
The chord degree numbers I’ve indicated are still listed from the bottom-up, but at least they do indicate something about the melody, in relation to the harmony. There may be something which already exists and is more straightforward. If so, please note it in the comments section. I’m open to ideas on this.
For the time being, there seems to be a great deal of clarity in naming something a 5-1-3 voicing. The melody is the 3rd. If you want to voice the 2nd or the 4th in the melody of that same chord, it could become a 5-1-2 or 5-1-4 voicing. The theoretical reality – that the 2nd or 4th is actually replacing the 3rd – is clearly seen and easily understood, even without any other kind of notation or symbol.
Anyway, print the pdf. Check this scale out, and experiment with playing simple folk songs, children songs (like “Twinkle, Twinkle”), or even tunes like the opening phrases of “Joy to the World” (start at the top) with it. When you run into situations which don’t work with this simple set, you’re discovering musical ideas which require other harmonic/melodic applications. We’ll talk about some of those in future posts. Meanwhile, these are a good start. Have fun and experiment. I’ll do a video on this article in an upcoming post.
It’s a busy week with family and holiday. So, I thought I would post a quick video of this advent hymn using simple triad voicings. On this one, I didn’t limit things to one string-set, and just kind of played it as I felt like playing it. I did add open strings to better fill in the chords in places, but I hope that you can see it’s still mostly a very simple basis around triads. Maybe in the future, I’ll post tab or chord forms for this one. Posts in the coming weeks will probably be holiday music. It’s that time of year.
This is a video I made for “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” using the leadsheet from my previous post. The first run-through is pretty basic, but I added some simple rhythmic embellishment to the second run-through. The chord voicings are limited to the first string-set mostly (strings 1-3). This is by design, to make things as simple as possible in the beginning.
In future posts, I’ll present material for doing the same thing with other string sets. I’ll also be posting other videos, which are more casual one-offs, and which will utilize multiple string sets, the way you would when arranging for ease of playing and for keeping things in fewer positions on the neck. This example is mainly to illustrate what can be done with very few chord voicings, in playing a chord solo version of a song.
