Las manos de la novia

Una novia no solo debe tener un vestido ideal, un peinado genial, zapatos perfectos y un gran maquillaje, sino que ademas de todo tiene que cuidar un detalle tan importante como lo es cuidar el estado de sus manos.

Unas manos bonitas, cuidadas y bien tratadas para el dia de la boda son sumamente importantes, dado que las manos delicadas son sin duda una excelente carta de presentacion, un simbolo concreto de feminidad que no podemos dejar de atender.

Entre las cosas para hacer los dias antes de tu boda, una de ellas sera hacerte las manos, primeramente exfoliando la piel de las mismas, sobre todo el dorso, humedeciendolas y frotandolas suavemente durante unos minutos con algun producto adecuado, y luego enjuagando con agua fresca, para descongestionar.

El segundo paso es el de reparacion, si tus manos se sienten resecas o cuentan con manchas oscuras, se pueden meter por unos minutos en agua templada con algunas gotas de extracto de almendra dulce. Posteriormente solo hace falta aplicar alguna crema nutritiva, y la piel de las manos quedaran lisas y suaves en un abrir y cerrar de ojos.

Por ultimo, en lo que respecta a la piel de las manos, debemos protegerlas, ya que estan en permanente exposición a los elementos, por eso, algunas semanas antes de la boda, hay que usar guantes tanto para las tareas de la casa como para protegerlas del frio. No hay que olvidar aplicar cada noche una buena crema nutritiva, solo así procuraras un estado genial a tus manos para tu gran dia de bodas.

Invitación con calendario

¿Ya has pensado en las invitaciones de boda que vas a enviar? La verdad es que hay muchas ideas y muy originales con las que puedes sorprender a tus invitados.

Por ejemplo, como esta, que tengo que reconocerlo: me ha encantado.

Se trata de una invitación más alargada de lo normal, en la que hay un árbol a la izquierda con un corazón con los nombres de los novios y al lado, la invitación. El tono de la invitación es más bien informal, de hecho, el tipo de letra va en esa línea.

Además, incorpora un pequeño calendario en el que aparece el mes en el que se va a celebrar la boda y el día rodeado en un círculo. Es una idea muy divertida, que puede quedar muy bien.

A lo mejor encuentras algo en esta línea ya diseñado, pero si no, puedes encargar las invitaciones con el diseño que tí elijas, seguro que encuentras dónde te las pueden hacer sin ningún tipo de problema.

¿Qué te parece la idea? ¡A mí me encanta! De hecho, estoy empezando a pensar en algo así para mi boda… Aunque seguro que aún cambiaré de idea más veces…

Mike Wilson, Tohono O'odham, responds to threat of poisoned water

Poisoned water threat comes as more migrants die of dehydration on Tohono O'odham land

ARIZONA -- Mike Wilson, Tohono O'odham who puts out water for migrants on Tohono O'odham land as humanitarian aid, responded to an e-mail threat of poisoned water.

The anonymous e-mail said, "F you. I hope some real Americans will step up and put poison in the water. I hope you are the first to drink."

The e-mail threat, on Aug. 29, was sent in response to the article, "Tohono O'odham Nation surrendered its will to the Border Patrol." http://bsnorrell.blogspot.com/2010/03/mike-wilson-tohono-oodham-nation.html

Wilson said, "I'm not surprised by the threat, it is certainly expected and no one is immune. Humane Borders has received these threats for the last ten years, including the writing of 'veneno' (poison) on the sides of its water barrels in the desert.

"The subject government of the Tohono O'odham Nation, its elected leaders and its Imperial master, the Bureau of Indian Affairs, continue to deny and denigrate hundreds of migrant deaths in Indian Country. The B.I.A. is complicit in the decade long (2000-2010) humanitarian crisis on O'odham land. Continuing a legacy of selective neglect of American Indians, the B.I.A. feigns ignorance and silence when it comes to Latino and Indigenous People dying by hyperthermia and dehydration on the Tohono O'odham Reservation.

"This calculated silence by the B.I.A. in Washington, D.C. and in Sells (capital of the Tohono O'odham Nation) is an attempt to inoculate itself against the charge of willful complicity and to wash migrant blood from its hands.

"According to the Pima County Medical Examiner's Office, of 58 migrant deaths in the month of July, 44 were on the Tohono O'odham Reservation. This B.I.A. policy of silence is a self-fulfilling prophesy in the making, in that it achieves its own intended purpose of plausible denial. This deafening B.I.A. silence now assumes the legal consent and approval of migrant deaths on Tohono O'odham tribal land by the Tohono O'odham Nation, BIA, the Department of Interior and the Federal Government of the United States. Blood runs deep.

"Brady McComb's SPECIAL REPORT: DECADE OF DEATH was published in the Arizona Daily Star (Sunday, August 22, 2010). Also, author and reporter Margaret Regan's story, D.O.A., came out in the Tucson Weekly last Thursday, August 26, 2010.

"Both compelling stories are moral indictments against the Government and elected leadership of the Tohono O'odham Nation. The Tohono O'odham Nation continues its futile defensive strategy of presumed isolation and insulation.

"However, as both stories clearly demonstrate, tribal Chairman Ned Norris, Jr., Legislative Council Chairman Verlon Jose and Baboquivari District Council Chairwoman Veronica Harvey cannot insulate themselves against the stretch and scope of a free press.

"No amount of spin from the Tohono O'odham Nation's hired PR firm in Phoenix can protect the Tohono O'odham Nation from its culpability for Latino and Indigenous migrant deaths.

"Neither can the elected tribal leadership insulate itself against the putrid stench of another hundred decomposing migrant bodies on O'odham lands. The Government of the Tohono O'odham Nation needs to purchase Biological Hazard suits for when its leaders leave the reservation, if they can't smell the stench on themselves, others can."

More water,

I wish...

Driving back home from Orcas Island last week, I found myself thinking out loud as I tried to make sense of certain conversations, observations and a writing exercise I participated in.

I listened as not one but two hitchhikers I picked up -- both seasonal workers at the hippie-ish Doe Bay Resort -- talked about their adventures moving from state to state and job to job in pursuit of their interests. I listened as a dozen or more aspiring writers at a Saturday workshop on memoir described people and places and experiences unknown to me. And I guess you could say I had a minor epiphany, which I voiced to Lori as we were pounding down I-5 toward home: I wish I had more time.

I don't mean it in any fatalistic kind of way. Rather, it's more a comment on how fast a day and a week can go by. No matter how efficient I might be, no matter what priorities I might set, I'm always running short on time. There are just so many things I want to do and experience, and even if I were awake 24/7 I still don't think I'd get around to everything.

Understand, I feel my blessed in so many ways. A long and loving marriage. Three healthy and happy adult children. An interesting career and job. Good health, good friends and the good fortune to own a condo and a getaway cabin. What more could a guy want? Call me selfish but...

I wish I had more time to spend outdoors. On a bike. On a hike. In the woods. On the water.

I wish I had more time to read. More novels. More non-fiction. More online and magazine articles.  More new authors.

I wish I had more time for play. Golf. Pool. Poker. Movies. Volleyball at the Y.

I wish I had more time to write. Beyond endless work e-mails, memos and editor's notes. Beyond these inadequate and increasingly rambling blog posts. A chance to really think and put into practice some of the concepts I've picked up at various workshops.


I wish I had more time with my wife. For day trips. For spontaneous outings. For snuggling and more.

I wish I had more time for friends. In person. Online. Doesn't matter as long as it's one-on-one and sincere.

I wish I had more time for myself. To grow new multimedia skills. To connect the dots in my life. To break out of my calm, conservative, cautious persona a little more frequently.


And, boy, do I wish I were more eloquent. Words can be so powerful and yet sometimes so inadequate.

Michigan Asserts Sovereignty Rights in Canoe Crossing


Michigan Asserts Sovereignty Rights in Canoe Crossing

August 27, 2010

The local aboriginal community from both the United States metro Detroit area and local Windsor, Ontario area gathered at Detroit’s Belle Isle Park on Friday, August 27, 2010. With the sun shining and warm summer temperatures, the group gathered to launch the first ever USA-Canada Canoe Border Crossing as a peaceful demonstration of the rights stated and found in the Jay Treaty.

Local American Indian Movement of Michigan organizers Bryan Halfday and Helen Wolfe held the event as a way to increase public awareness about aboriginal treaty rights, create local community support and to educate people about inherent and ancestral rights. The event was planned as a part of a three day weekend of events all related to the Honoring Our Traditions Pow Wow which was held in Lincoln Park, Michigan’s Council Point Park also organized by the local Michigan American Indian Movement chapter.

Dennis Banks co-founder of the American Indian Movement participated in the canoe border crossing and stated that the ability and right to cross the river to Canada from the United States freely was “guaranteed in the Jay Treaty and it is our ancestral right to cross freely without harassment. This is our ancestral land of which we view per our history as one in the same with no borders. This is our home. We are sovereign.”

The canoe crossing started at the west end of Belle Isle Park whereupon the canoes paddled across the busy Detroit River to the Windsor, Ontario Peace Fountain. Once at the Windsor Peace Fountain, the canoe groups touched Canadian land and were greeted by a large group including singers from the Canadian American Friendship Center. A few onlookers with opposing views yelled at one canoe participant to “go home.” Andrea Pierce stated that she was surprised at seeing and hearing opposition to her implementing her aboriginal rights and responded to them respectfully that “she never crossed any borders, but that the borders had crossed her.”

Among the canoe participants were John Marcus, Andrea Pierce, Stephanie Bartley, Rob Henry, Tim Seneca, Dean Kicknosway, Julianne Horsfield, Robert Naimy and Chase Horsfield. When asked about the reason why he did the crossing, canoe participant Dean Kicknosway replied that I wanted the population to know that “we are a living people with a history, not a people from history.”

The canoes crossed just prior to having several large freighters pass through on the busy Detroit River. The Detroit River is home to one of the busiest International Ports, the Ambassador Bridge and a hub of US and Canadian Commerce.

When asked how the experience was Stephanie Bartley stated that “she will remember the day forever. It was beautiful and I am very emotional about doing this knowing my ancestors probably travelled this way a long time ago.”

The event ended at the East end of Belle Isle where people gathered to sing and celebrate a peaceful and safe crossing. It was discussed among the crowd and with Dennis Banks, Bryan Halfday and Helen Wolfe that the hope would be for this to become a yearly event. The hope is that more people may partake in the event next year. To commemorate the crossing Dennis Banks is having a custom embroidered patch made that says “Just the Beginning- Continuing Our Ancestral Past- Detroit to Windsor Jay Treaty Canoe Border Crossing.” If anybody would like to volunteer in coordinating and or promoting this event for next year please contact Bryan Halfday at Bryanhalf@aol.com
