If you're close to Brooklyn you have the amazing opportunity to buy their Lab packages which are basically a spot in one of their classes. Like, a pattern making class (gah! So want to go to this one), a Print Gocco class (which would pretty dang cool) and an Origami class. Seriously. I need to move to Brooklyn. Or my wee little town needs an Etsy lab.

We will have more info very soon, including next terms class list - and our new date for the Quizzles class!

Stay tuned...

I wish I had known about it sooner, because it really has a huge number of tf2 demos, and they are categorized by class to suit those looking to improve their skills. I'm excited about anything that will help me become a 1337 hax0r hehe. Also, I really enjoy that the name of the site is a nod to one of my favourite movies of all time - The Shining!

When: Saturday, July 19, 10:30am - 6:30pm
Where: Dar-us-Salaam, College Park, MD

This class will cover in depth the details of death in Islam, preparations for the funeral, the proper burial and shrouding of the dead and other topics such as preparing a wasiyyah (a will).

A Certificate of Competency will be presented upon successful completion of written test and practical exam, and qualifies one to assist with janazah preparations (washing and shrouding). Those who receive certification will be on-call after a death and able to help with the janazah.

The class is free. It will be led by Br. Safi Khan, Imam of Dar-us-Salaam. Janazah kits will be available for purchase for $60. To register, please email: janazah at LearnAboutIslam.org. Registration is required.

If you have questions in mind already, please submit them in advance when you register so we can do our best to cover them in class.

See a listing of all Summer Intensives in earlier post here.

Rodchata, a world renown Bachata Teacher who just came back from his workshop tour in Sweden and Australia, announces a new dance class for Summer 2008, catering to all levels of bachata experience from absolute beginning to advanced, traditional and modern - Rodchata has something great to offer in everyone.

The bachata classes only take place on Wednesdays at the Amura Ballroom Dance Studio in San Francisco. There's no experience and no partner necessary, as the classes are filled with people, and everyone dances with everyone else. For those that want to have fun, having an outlet to release physical energy, impress dance partners on a dancing date, or get a date (Rodchata classes usually have the hottest singles), these classes are for everybody. 

The classes are as follows: 

EVERY WEDNESDAY

8:00 PM - Bachata Foundation Basic for Beginners (Dominican Style) 
9:00 PM - Bachata Progressive for the Intermediates (Modern) 

Location: 
Amura Ballroom Dance Studio 
4541 Irving Street 
San Francisco, Ca 94122

• Artífice: um líder arcano para o cenário de Eberron, discutido no post anterior. O artífice manipula itens mágicos e mundanos para realizar efeitos que contribuem com os membros do grupo; e
• Swordmage (Mago da Espada): já mencionado para a campanha Forgotten Realms, a ser lançada nos próximos meses. Será um defensor arcano que utiliza sua espada para causar dano mágico.

Também foram mencionadas para o Livro do Jogador II (se este for lançado) e para as quais eu faço as minhas previsões:

• Psion e Psi-Warrior: o primeiro é um controlador e o segundo um defensor psiônico. Talvez estas classes tenham o nome alterado, mas herdarão muitas das características dos psiônicos da edição anterior. O Psion ficará responsável por manipulação mental (encantar e comandar monstros) que foram removidas das atribuições do mago;
• Bardo: este será um líder arcano, com poderes que aumentam a moral do grupo de aventureiros, concedendo bônus de ataque, defesa, resistências e até perícias. Alguns poderes de encantamento ainda podem estar presentes (como atordoar os oponentes) mas eu acredito que a classe vá sofrer muitas alterações;
• Druida: não está bem claro o seu papel no jogo, como controlador ou líder primal. Primal é uma nova fonte de poder a ser apresentada no Livro do Jogador II. O Druida deve receber poderes de transformação e metamorfose e talvez alguns poderes elementais;
• Bárbaro: o defensor primal, terá poderes muito diferentes do guerreiro, possivelmente golpes que causem mais dano ao invés de serem mais precisos, e mais brutais, como mordidas; e
• Monge: ainda não se sabe ao certo se esta classe será um agressor ou um defensor, e se sua fonte de poder é marcial ou alguma outra coisa (Ki?). De qualquer modo, os múltiplos ataques e a mobilidade do monge devem estar presentes no Livro do Jogador II.

É claro que existe ainda alguma especulação sobre outras classes (como o Feiticeiro e o Arqueiro Arcano), mas eu acho tão improvável que apareçam que não cheguei a comentar aqui.

E vocês, o que acham? Quais classes ainda serão lançadas?

Three Sessions: Saturdays, July 12th from 10:30 - 12:30; July 19th and 26 from 10:30 - 1:30

Instructor: Carol Hagen

Class description: In these classes you will learn to spin wool on the drop spindle and the wheel. All tools will be provided and a wheel will be available for you to take home for practice. You will also learn how to prepare fiber for spinning.

Class fee: $95.00

Next we went to Silleuksa Temple, the ceremonial temple for Yeongneung, which was built by a buddhist monk named Wonhyo during the Silla dynasty. It was also very beautiful. It houses over 10 world heritage treasures. (decided by the UN) WOAH.

We also made pottery at one of the pottery places in Yeoju, called Toya pottery.

And by made pottery, I mean we had some small part in making the decision about what the craftsmen would make while we sat and had various implements forced into our hands by world-weary tourist catering potters.

It was fun ^_^

Tomorrow my Ancient Korean History class will go to the National Museum in Yongsan. I'm actually really looking forward to seeing some of the old things we talk about every day. So BoHee and I will trapeze the subway together tomorrow after lunch haha.

Level 3

Spins for both the lead and follow, a little fun improvisation.

Noni showed led us follows through progressions to a fun fancy and dynamic spin on a cross-hand turn.

First was a normal one done in the right foot.

Second involved a quick switch from right foot to the left one, straight after 4. Maybe add a little kick while spinning, for energy.

Next one added a forward kick on 5, swinging the leg back on 6 into the spin to really build up the energy. And touching the floor on 7 on the way up.

To make it work, follows have to stay connected to the lead, centre focused and directed towards them, tension maintained in the arms cos follows are gonna need it to build up DA POWER. Woo, and may I say, hoo.

Apologies, but I didn't listen to what was said for the leads, but they were taught to do a similar spin, also touching the ground on the way.

Afterthoughts

This class came in the nick of time. I don't think I've ever sucessfully done a spin on one foot, lacking balance as I do.

I couldn't get all the way up to making the foot switch look elegant, but at least I could now spin on one foot! Thinking about asking Steph if we can focus a couple of classes on spins. Spin spin spin. Keep saying it and it starts to sound funny. Doesn't any word!

Level 2 class tonight at Fun Pit, then dinner with the camberwell crew. Go Friday!

I'm taking 17.5 hours in the following classes:

Physical Education - 0.5
Fluid Mechanics - 3
Microcomputer Architecture - 4
Electrical Devices and Circuits - 4
Fundamentals of Engineering EM - 3
Senior Design 1 - 3

The calendar-style schedule can be found on Google's servers.

I was introduced to doing this type of quilt in A Values Class at the now closed, In the Beginning fabric store here in Seattle. I am working on a tutorial that I will post here, and on Flickr once I get it on Etsy.

I was rather humored by the class. It started with the teacher preaching her hatred of those that buy fabric on the internet. As I waited for her to get off her pedestal and teach me something about values of color, I thought about the lovely stack of 6 inch squares in front of me. Some of them from the EVIL INTERNET.

I don't buy all my fabrics on the internet. I, like all fabric obsessed sewers like to touch and see...but no one has everything available, and there is SOOOO much fabric to covet. At the time I was 30, and my thought to this lady's speech was, that the store didn't market to me beyond Amy Butler.

We did finally get to quilting and when all my mix of squares were on the wall, everyone was drawn to the diversity of my quilt. They all inquired to where I got my fabrics? I told the truth, no twisting of the story.

Supporting small local business has always been my thing. I am one myself after all. Here's my new favorite http://www.pinkbypost.com/ (Sorry, my links button isn't working for some reason), and my favorite E-bay seller is La Chakra (she has amazing shipping).

Hope you all have a happy 4th! I hope to get some sewing in.
