  1. Experimentei **Make Me Fever Violet** hoje. Muito bom pra quem gosta de perfume floral amadeirado atalcado. E parece que é muita gente porque o estoque da loja já tinha acabado, só tinha o _tester_ mesmo.

  3. "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" is a song written by #MichaelMasser and #GerryGoffin and produced by Masser. It was initially recorded by #American singer #ThelmaHouston in 1973, and then by #DianaRoss as the theme to the 1975 #Motown/#Paramount film #Mahogany that also starred Ross. The song was released on September 24, 1975 by Motown Records as the lead single for both the film's soundtrack and Ross' seventh studio album, Diana Ross.

  4. Só vai fazer sentido pra quem tem alguma sinestesia, mas hoje descobri que esse #perfume da #Mahogany é melhor apreciado ouvindo #jazz. Assim como o jazz pode ser melhor apreciado sentindo esse perfume.

  5. From 2011: #Wikileaks Exposed #USEspionage of #IndigenousPeoples

    December 29, 2011
    by #BrendaNorrell, #CensoredNews

    "Wikileaks exposed the US #corporate schemes, espionage, promotion of #mining and efforts globally to halt passage of the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In the Censored News pick for the Best of the Best in 2011, Wikileaks claims first prize.

    "Wikileaks revealed extensive espionage of Indigenous Peoples, including the #Mapuche and #Mohawks, and Venezuelan President #HugoChavez and Bolivian President #EvoMorales, who ushered in a new #Indigenous global rights campaign.

    "The release of the US diplomatic cables of the US State Department confirmed that the US feared the power of Indigenous Peoples, specifically their claims to their traditional territories, a right stated in the UN Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. Further, the Declaration states the right of free, prior and informed consent before development proceeds and protects intellectual and cultural property rights.

    "Here's the top six ways that the United States and Canada, as revealed by Wikileaks, worked against the rights of Indigenous Peoples, by engaging in espionage and the promotion of mining, while violating Indigenous autonomy, self determination and dignity.

    "1. The #UnitedStates worked behind the scenes to fight the adoption of the Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples. In #Ecuador, the US established a program to dissuade Ecuador from supporting the Declaration. In Iceland, the US Embassy said Iceland's support was an "impediment" to US/Iceland relations at the UN. In Canada, the US said the US and Canada agreed the Declaration was headed for a "train wreck."

    "2. The United States targeted and tracked Indigenous Peoples, community #activists and leaders, especially in Chile, Peru and Ecuador. A cable reveals the US Embassy in Lima, Peru, identified #IndigenousActivists and tracked the involvement of Bolivian President Evo Morales, Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, Bolivia Ambassador #PabloSolon, prominent #Mapuche and Quechua activists and community leaders. President Chavez and President Morales were consistently watched, and their actions analyzed. Indigenous activists opposing the dirty #TarSands were spied on, and other Indigenous activists in Vancouver, prior to the Olympics.

    "3. The United States was part of a coalition to promote mining and fight against Indigenous activists in Peru. A core group of diplomats from U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Switzerland and South Africa formed an alliance with mining companies to promote and protect mining interests globally. In other illegal corporate profiteering, #Peru’s government secretly admitted that 70-90 percent of its #mahogany exports were illegally felled, according to a US embassy cable revealed by Wikileaks. #Lowes and #HomeDepot sell the lumber.

    "4. The United States and Canada tracked Mohawks. In one of the largest collections of cables released so far that targeted Native people and named names, the US Embassies in Montreal and Toronto detailed Mohawk activities at the border and in their communities.

    "5. The arrogant and insulting tone of the US Embassies and disrespect for Indigenous leaders is pervasive in US diplomatic cables. The US Embassy in #Guatemala stated that President of Guatemala, Álvaro Colom, called Rigoberta Menchu a "fabrication" of an anthropologist and made other accusations. Menchu responded on a local radio station that Colom was a "liar."

    "6. The collection of DNA and other data, makes it clear that US Ambassadors are spies abroad. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton states that the Intelligence Community relies on biographical information from US diplomats. In cables to Africa and Paraguay, Clinton asked US Embassy personnel to collect address books, e-mail passwords, fingerprints, iris scans and DNA.

    “The intelligence community relies on State reporting officers for much of the biographical information collected worldwide," Clinton said in a cable on April 16, 2009. Clinton said the biographical data should be sent to the INR (Bureau of Intelligence and Research) for dissemination to the Intelligence Community.

    "Meanwhile, the US was part of a five country team that supported mining as Indigenous Peoples were dying to protect their homeland.
    The arrogance of the US and its cheerleading for corporate #CopperMining in Peru is obvious in two cables just released from Wikileaks. The diplomatic cables reveal the US promoting multi-national corporations, while targeting Indigenous activists and their supporters.

    "The cables reveal that a core group of diplomats formed an alliance with mining companies to promote and protect mining interests globally. The diplomats were from the U.S., Canada, U.K., Australia, Switzerland and South Africa.

    "The US spied on the Mohawks in Canada, as revealed in these diplomatic cables released by Wikileaks. Canadian border guards admitted that they feared the Mohawks: censored-news.blogspot.com/201

    "Wikileaks exposed the fact that not only were Indigenous Peoples spied on globally by the US State Department, but those who supported them were also spied on. Actor and activist Danny Glover was the focus of at least five US diplomatic cables."

  6. Greene & Greene sconce

    Recycled sapele mahogany with rosewood inlays.
    30cm x 17 cm x 17cm

    With the damaged/discarded leftovers of the bed in my previous post, I've made this small Greene & Greene style sconce.
    Usually I hide the blemishes of the wood (old nail holes scratched surfaces etc) but not here. I incorporated them trying to mimic an old heavily used item.

  7. Mahogany Bed/Settee

    I finished a bed I needed for my house in the country.
    It's made out of recycled sapele mahogany and pieces of rosewood.

    Dimensions: 2 metres x 96cm x 70cm

  9. I personally don't find the windowing model in #sway intuitive -- the tree model is overly complex for my small laptop screen, and at odds with my mental model of frames & buffers.

    #StumpWM has a frame & buffer model, lisp interface, and delightful affordances -- so, my favorite so far of these minimal WM's. But, it lacks #wayland support. Mahogany is the wayland compliant successor, so will try it out in the next few weeks.

    Curious if anyone can speak to their own experience using #mahogany?

  10. I have to be careful, but after 3 months of physical therapy, I can now have the occasional short session of preparing rough stock at the bench. For a while, I wasn't sure it would be possible again. I'm very happy about this, but now I best take it easy for a bit.

  11. Καλησπέρα. 😀​

    Μόλις έβαλα τις τελευταίες πινελιές σε αυτή την πρόσοψη ντουλαπιού μπάνιου με καθρέπτη.
    Δοκίμασα και την τύχη μου με την ξυλογλυπτική αλλά για την ώρα ας πούμε πως δεν είναι και κανένα αριστούργημα. 🙁​

    Το κυρίως ξύλο είναι ανακυκλωμένο μαόνι σαπέλι με διάφορα διακοσμητικά στοιχεία φτιαγμένα από δρυ και παλίσσανδρο.
    Είναι εμπνευσμένο από το στυλ επίπλων και αρχιτεκτονικών στοιχείων των αδερφών Greene & Greene με στοιχεία art nouveau.

  12. Hello there,😀

    I just finished this Greene & Greene/art nouveau inspired bathroom cabinet façade out of Mahogany.

    I tried my luck in carving.
    The result is not something I should boast though. 😞
    I tried to depict an art nouveau style reclined pensive lady.

    The frame and the cabinet door is made of reclaimed mahogany. The upper part of the door has an oak veneer and the various ornamental elements are made of mahogany and bois de rose.
    Brass hinges
