She has three and talked me through them chronologically.<br />
<br />
She explained , "I like to get [a tattoo] for every place I lived," and her first one was this butterfly armband:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1RywI9sQh-sWeSMeEMvaY5ZT-PDXTZ8L6oZ570azB8jMG-K5MAMcjYBUPElIRHdfNP_iTyzSCqGyg6vgRDBrr0h0Qcw7mu2tmRb1VBqP8QCHl3sjvq8swKkserFktglZcEPhcUSIfC2Y/s1600/butterfly+band+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj1RywI9sQh-sWeSMeEMvaY5ZT-PDXTZ8L6oZ570azB8jMG-K5MAMcjYBUPElIRHdfNP_iTyzSCqGyg6vgRDBrr0h0Qcw7mu2tmRb1VBqP8QCHl3sjvq8swKkserFktglZcEPhcUSIfC2Y/s640/butterfly+band+1.jpg" width="443" /></a></div>
<br />
Sabrina is from upstate New York. She went to one of the shops in Utica and spoke to the owner about getting an armband. He dismissed her initial request, saying "I don't do armbands anymore, they're too 1990". So, Sabrina explained, "he designed a different sort of armband and went with that ... ".<br />

<br />
She added, "I like butterflies because I like things that fly ... I feel like I'm a free spirit." One of the butterflies is based on a necklace that she wore every day.<br />
<br />
Her second piece is on her right forearm and is what she referred to as her "college tattoo":<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Sabrina told me, "I just wanted another tattoo and I like Egyptian hieroglyphs." This is one of the symbols that really appealed to her, and she had this inked at a shop in White Plains, New York, near where she went to college.<br />
<br />
Her third tattoo, also inspired by hieroglyphs, is the one she got after coming to New York City:<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
This owl tattoo is more realistic, although she wanted it positioned like a hieroglyph. It is a great horned owl and was tattooed by Bang Bang at East Side Ink.<br />

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcLh96zNJZbXmRnnb5iGIu78O3S3zHR6n0PJU7pogTIrD7hHqhAKehrpdpFIStSGqFwaPcQtzvsr9BH5mWx2fq-9MpuHXqtNDMgcUt5hGooiQOPPNOPHhmMzlCqgGuavo3BzxNQi2nK-0/s1600/Be+Not+Afraid.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcLh96zNJZbXmRnnb5iGIu78O3S3zHR6n0PJU7pogTIrD7hHqhAKehrpdpFIStSGqFwaPcQtzvsr9BH5mWx2fq-9MpuHXqtNDMgcUt5hGooiQOPPNOPHhmMzlCqgGuavo3BzxNQi2nK-0/s400/Be+Not+Afraid.jpg" width="293" /></a></div>
<br />
The phrase "Be not afraid, only believe" is from the Bible, more specifically, the Book of <a href="http://en.wikisource.org/wiki/Bible,_King_James,_Mark">Mark</a>, Chapter 5, Verse 36, <a href="http://www.kingjamesbible.com/">King James version</a>.<br />
<br />
What does this mean to Emily? "No matter what," she said, "always remember what's mean to be will happen...".<br />
<br />
A nice sentiment indeed. This tattoo was done by "Petey" at <a href="http://www.immortalink.com/">Immortal Ink</a> in Clinton, New Jersey.<br />
<br />
Thanks to Emily for sharing her tattoo with us here on <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/">Tattoosday</a>!<br />

The <a href="http://www.ocmc-racing.ca/about/ice-racing.html">Oshawa Competition Motorcycle Club (OCMC)</a> had a George Jones Race Number 1 on Saturday, January 27, 2013 and the sudden warming caused a pressure ridge crack that filled about a third of the course with freezing cold water.

The tires have an inner tire to provide depth for the double flat, slotted head screws which are used as ice studs. The orientation of the screws provide outside angle studs for corners and the middle studs are used for braking.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zped0IYHqGbAGfcfNFHbffq7QQvJ8Pk4SxCXlidsz1SB-HSYoVDpVkZvzbNw9DTWEeRVBHBb502w7IoKBFfh3wyZ-9P-lloipdTp9Nqf6JhkUTHRF8omu8Qu-4Bsf8q4EGTRYAOD-0Q/s1600/ice_racing_DSC_3364.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9zped0IYHqGbAGfcfNFHbffq7QQvJ8Pk4SxCXlidsz1SB-HSYoVDpVkZvzbNw9DTWEeRVBHBb502w7IoKBFfh3wyZ-9P-lloipdTp9Nqf6JhkUTHRF8omu8Qu-4Bsf8q4EGTRYAOD-0Q/s400/ice_racing_DSC_3364.jpg" width="285" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIk2AESLGdIo0bSrnl8uAsJDh0Dex1INfPVkXAEqZJytV1AwlpfDAHOiKhkL9m8EbgyIgps45SpibgAG9eBk5BqxWOEebiz3w9CFK3k8uUcJTkKf5kqi-aMNonJDzOe5qPXcsgf498LaY/s1600/mcDS2_9711.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIk2AESLGdIo0bSrnl8uAsJDh0Dex1INfPVkXAEqZJytV1AwlpfDAHOiKhkL9m8EbgyIgps45SpibgAG9eBk5BqxWOEebiz3w9CFK3k8uUcJTkKf5kqi-aMNonJDzOe5qPXcsgf498LaY/s400/mcDS2_9711.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs1R1QyOswQGYLfim-B8v71pRGTFo-IHaE6W9gXb5YFKAUJCs1kdJRbFXjEu-SIteGJRPnq-fCwGD1kNT45lNQDGbeRlRYYtO7P2CLYkL4xQQb-lXol3rARcZ38UPNxkGBc_IFTPCSm80/s1600/mcDSC_3201.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhs1R1QyOswQGYLfim-B8v71pRGTFo-IHaE6W9gXb5YFKAUJCs1kdJRbFXjEu-SIteGJRPnq-fCwGD1kNT45lNQDGbeRlRYYtO7P2CLYkL4xQQb-lXol3rARcZ38UPNxkGBc_IFTPCSm80/s400/mcDSC_3201.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><br />Posted by Joe Hamilton.

Police brought their horses, protesters brought their flags and signs (and an elephant) while the media flew in some choppers for a birds eye view. Teachers schooled the politicians and asked them to write lines on the chalkboard after class - detention was served.<br /><br />See <a href="http://torontogp.blogspot.ca/2013/01/reporter-cynthia-mulligan-at-gardens.html">CityNews reporter Cynthia Mulligan as she covers the event on my blog post here</a>.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXl9ahXiOKNxxbo4PBerEiM79x50CSiEny9UdueeEed4DaC_oLuC7e28NoKCvPoUWdvuLsR8UHIRHhnwZhVXTVkQSZ9IoG0RTStxjzXQ1cVP0z4pLq1H3Kbuc3H3c4wBDtHW6eA13aiEk/s1600/protest_DSC_8646.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXl9ahXiOKNxxbo4PBerEiM79x50CSiEny9UdueeEed4DaC_oLuC7e28NoKCvPoUWdvuLsR8UHIRHhnwZhVXTVkQSZ9IoG0RTStxjzXQ1cVP0z4pLq1H3Kbuc3H3c4wBDtHW6eA13aiEk/s400/protest_DSC_8646.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"> A paper mache Premier Dalton McGuinty caricature is hoisted high in the air</div><br />The 1:00 pm mass rally was organized by the Ontario Federation of Labour as part of a campaign to defend democratic and economic rights of workers and citizens.

The day started early with music on stage at 8:30 am on Saturday, January 26 and continued with entertainment and the opening ceremony with Master of Ceremonies Tom Harrington. A yellow shoelace tying ceremony and warm up preceded the walk which, at 10:30 am headed along the underground pedestrian tunnels and retail spaces linking many of the downtown buildings.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVqSpr0kksMky0JwK5Zvd5nHPHm7dC_i4n87KX1p1P-Hl1BeixvqEomz1bLkd5OFcL237nmEjAzIDNGnyA4y1_a3EPpOHgeoT6weuoWnWdTJ4CDssoWpXDpOYmhsi-g3lqhieG6QgsuU/s1600/walk_DSC_8230.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="285" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhKVqSpr0kksMky0JwK5Zvd5nHPHm7dC_i4n87KX1p1P-Hl1BeixvqEomz1bLkd5OFcL237nmEjAzIDNGnyA4y1_a3EPpOHgeoT6weuoWnWdTJ4CDssoWpXDpOYmhsi-g3lqhieG6QgsuU/s400/walk_DSC_8230.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>Cheering on the walkers are members of the <a href="http://www.501st.ca/en_index.htm">501st Legion of Stormtroopers</a> as well as the World famous <a href="http://www.facebook.com/torontobatman">Toronto Batman</a> and <strike>Spiderman</strike> (he was stuck somewhere else because his spidy sense was tingling) the <a href="http://www.facebook.com/TheTorontoDeadpool">Toronto Deadpool</a>, Gambit and Rogue.

Toronto Council would have had sixty days to decide to either appoint someone - including Rob Ford, to take over as Mayor, or they could call an by-election to fill the role which is expected to cost many millions of dollars if Rob had lost. You can see the <a href="http://www.ontariocourts.ca/scj/en/about/judgments.htm">Divisional Court</a> Notice of Appeal of Judgement for Magder v. Ford, 2013 ONSC 263 results online after 10:30 am on Friday, January 25, 2013. the Appeal was heard on January 7, 2013 for the case of Paul Magder vs Robert Ford. Because Rob Ford did not have a pecuniary interest in the matter he voted on, which led to the conflict of interest case, he was not in conflict. The Court also noted that the City was ultra Vires, or outside their authority, when they imposed a sanction against the Mayor for repayment of monies he did not personally receive.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26Gj7b6XWXfe3f9YVq3fgXWGOnYPO_mfQbXbL-qzjdeLTcXefC-brpXWuduDgJBTI13ZNnPJe-Cxnme63Xj0RTvkhjL0UNtyYpasOZS0bu-IHK1m5YewgdZKz23r3MDB6UTCrDLymiWA/s1600/mayor_ford_DSC_1210.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg26Gj7b6XWXfe3f9YVq3fgXWGOnYPO_mfQbXbL-qzjdeLTcXefC-brpXWuduDgJBTI13ZNnPJe-Cxnme63Xj0RTvkhjL0UNtyYpasOZS0bu-IHK1m5YewgdZKz23r3MDB6UTCrDLymiWA/s400/mayor_ford_DSC_1210.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Mayor awaits questions from the media at a previous event</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">From http://www.canlii.org/en/on/onscdc/doc/2013/2013onsc263/2013onsc263.html Canadian Legal Information Institute</div><br /><br />"Accordingly, the application judge erred in failing to find that Decision CC 52.1 was ultra vires by imposing a sanction not authorized by the COTA.<br /><br />In addition, Decision CC 52.1 went beyond the “Other Actions” contemplated by the Code, because it required Mr. Ford to reimburse funds which he never received personally. The “Other Actions” set out in the Code include reimbursement of monies “received”. Here, the evidence is clear that Mr. Ford never personally received any of the money donated for the football foundation. All funds were received by an arm’s length entity, the Toronto Community Foundation. Therefore, the sanction was not authorized by the Code nor by the COTA.<br /><br />Given that the imposition of the financial sanction under Decision CC 52.1 was a nullity because Council did not have the jurisdiction to impose such a penalty, Mr. Ford had no pecuniary interest in the matter on which he voted at Council on February 7, 2012 - namely, the revocation of the Decision CC 52.1. <br /><br />Conclusion [96] In light of our conclusion that Decision CC 52.1 was a nullity because of the nature of the financial sanction it imposed, the appellant has not contravened s. 5(1) of the MCIA. Therefore, the appeal is allowed, the judgment of the application judge is set aside and the application under the MCIA is dismissed."<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkoBiaYlPkBf_XNG0_IbkWOu9Jr1ZiZ70lgWBuHsKgEFqarFJQrVktL7hvXJPESWFK_9-AB8jH7xhjJMeEh2SnOqi36Ne_vm91q0oPQp-S71oJh6Z2O9bsBoutAeBRohYfvpezU7bIBaM/s1600/rob_ford_DSCN1390.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkoBiaYlPkBf_XNG0_IbkWOu9Jr1ZiZ70lgWBuHsKgEFqarFJQrVktL7hvXJPESWFK_9-AB8jH7xhjJMeEh2SnOqi36Ne_vm91q0oPQp-S71oJh6Z2O9bsBoutAeBRohYfvpezU7bIBaM/s400/rob_ford_DSCN1390.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_IxDGlgXEpSBkKKxNX6qwuXnWinHhu29xsHm_0IhPvROZnUM5vy_ozb39K2jxQFaEogQSy9Q_yIcqHp7_7GSsGU8CcGqJFy3rp0xgWlOr75B8vG0abh_DU3D3aBrrPxjlcD1Ryjsigw/s1600/rob_ford_DSCN1391.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjC_IxDGlgXEpSBkKKxNX6qwuXnWinHhu29xsHm_0IhPvROZnUM5vy_ozb39K2jxQFaEogQSy9Q_yIcqHp7_7GSsGU8CcGqJFy3rp0xgWlOr75B8vG0abh_DU3D3aBrrPxjlcD1Ryjsigw/s400/rob_ford_DSCN1391.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Ford and Harper on a red garbage bin</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgefPQO_xuYbulotrp335Pcu3eNMalGgsuIIltyNI1L1_18O6zvo0myCa_3J7Wh-3kl83KD9qrlb-ZzHDPrFf8usfVv_0Is1zGNC6TW2IlUckkJYP4nvzhWE1waegUtA798sVO4LTXG8kM/s1600/rob_ford_DSCN1392.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgefPQO_xuYbulotrp335Pcu3eNMalGgsuIIltyNI1L1_18O6zvo0myCa_3J7Wh-3kl83KD9qrlb-ZzHDPrFf8usfVv_0Is1zGNC6TW2IlUckkJYP4nvzhWE1waegUtA798sVO4LTXG8kM/s400/rob_ford_DSCN1392.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcYcWkixQ7wO21165LMTN4N7xq7xx-HiWZQLmeWNgPISjl891OkgLu_cJQ5fInKJ3lANdlgVYZMfQPeu4l4aNuwd8-p3UohXZ-EWeHY8bMdDO7CTpPtFP9y0xYI2FCwORyziERK0cJcUo/s1600/z100_2963.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcYcWkixQ7wO21165LMTN4N7xq7xx-HiWZQLmeWNgPISjl891OkgLu_cJQ5fInKJ3lANdlgVYZMfQPeu4l4aNuwd8-p3UohXZ-EWeHY8bMdDO7CTpPtFP9y0xYI2FCwORyziERK0cJcUo/s400/z100_2963.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The NOPE Ford poster</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><br /><br />Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462616039278992942.post-31490020186408201542013-01-25T04:42:00.000-08:002013-01-26T23:45:44.112-08:00Fun Tattoo Links for a Friday!With my backlog nearly eliminated, and the bone-chilling temperatures of the northeast making exposed skin a rare and unusual sight, we here at Tattoosday are always looking for new ways to entertain our vast international audience of tattoo connoisseurs.<br /><br />Earlier this week, my lovely wife Melanie sent me a couple of iVillage links that featured slideshows of tattoos.

I e-mailed Craig a couple weeks back and haven't heard back, but I'm trying to clear out the last of the 2012 posts, so if he does write back, I'll be sure to update the site.<br /><br />That said, all I know about the tattoo artist is that his name is Ray.<br /><br />One of the specialties that Craig and his partner Jessica have at Eat Me Sweetly (and what drew me to their table) is pickles.<br /><br />This is what I had:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KXfBrJRQdVY/UA1wiFMDbsI/AAAAAAAAXF8/NQIj0wZ588Q/s615/IMG_0554.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-KXfBrJRQdVY/UA1wiFMDbsI/AAAAAAAAXF8/NQIj0wZ588Q/s400/IMG_0554.JPG" width="315" /></a></div><br />They were delicious!<br /><br />As for the camera on his hand, Craig explained:<br /><blockquote class="tr_bq">"I used to be in the film business before I turned to making pickles for work. I was in post-production and pre-production. I was on both sides of the camera. I used to do a lot of talking head interviews for Citibank and then I started film scanning, film restoration, things like that."</blockquote>Thanks to Craig for sharing his camera tattoo with us on Tattoosday (and for the awesome pickles)!<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><b id="internal-source-marker_0.4093789900653064" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2013 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are seeing this on another website other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

The Government of Ontario announced in February of 2012 that the revitalization of the 155 acre site would require the closure most of the attractions like the waterpark, restaurants and the giant golf ball known as the Cinesphere. One of the first rumours was that a potential Toronto casino might fit right into the proposed attractions (it has also been suggested that the casino could go in nearby Exhibition Place).<br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv4d5TF3e4YollQgckQio3WUY0TmvLHVNsRqLaU427DOiM2U5N6wqqnploG1gAA3S0I4t3I_p_2t5Ifg23dF52Dd6QH6VA0rBLIXX_Cy1KosSsqDEE9BP3tkDZryZn9cSrsBWqqzULlbc/s1600/ontario_placeDSC_1349.jpg"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiv4d5TF3e4YollQgckQio3WUY0TmvLHVNsRqLaU427DOiM2U5N6wqqnploG1gAA3S0I4t3I_p_2t5Ifg23dF52Dd6QH6VA0rBLIXX_Cy1KosSsqDEE9BP3tkDZryZn9cSrsBWqqzULlbc/s400/ontario_placeDSC_1349.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div>Some of the site continues to operate, including the marina, the Molson Canadian Amphitheatre, Echo Beach, the Atlantis Pavilion banquet and convention centre and for those with cars, the paid parking lots will remain available during on and off site events.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBppI6YnUmDT2eNjln5VxqAvXahqja5hQuldvxPqqs72NKgOO4O7k26KkPviiC14lwyUjeI3lMyIyVhts5NhRXdUItJn1ARQROdhLbndPjbdGrX_bsLjixO6BQcXj9qdLh8i0rrnU1cwk/s1600/ontario_place_DSC_1308.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="264" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiBppI6YnUmDT2eNjln5VxqAvXahqja5hQuldvxPqqs72NKgOO4O7k26KkPviiC14lwyUjeI3lMyIyVhts5NhRXdUItJn1ARQROdhLbndPjbdGrX_bsLjixO6BQcXj9qdLh8i0rrnU1cwk/s400/ontario_place_DSC_1308.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>"<a href="http://www.ontarioplace.com/">Ontario Place</a> would like to thank our guests who have visited over the past 40 years.

Or, Inkasaurus RexAs a tattoo blogger and enthusiast, a lot of my non-tattooed friends often ask me, "Why do professional athletes have such lousy tattoos?"<br /><br />A good point.<br /><br />When you think "great tattoos" you don't picture your favorite basketball, football, or baseball player. Even the majority of Olympians with ink seemed to have rather plain and unimaginative work. But they're (for the most part) amateurs, so I can understand a little more their lack of great body art.<br /><br />On Sunday, during the AFC championship football game, a friend of mine tweeted: <i>"I make a million dollars a year but still get tattooed in my friend's kitchen" --60% of the NFL.</i><br /><i><br /></i>I often fantasize about coming into money and listing the top ten artists I would have work on me. They are justifiably expensive.<br /><br />So, I was shaking my head recently, when news of New York Jets' Head Coach Rex Ryan's fairly awful tattoo exploded in the media.<br /><br />If you missed the story, check it out <a href="http://www.casinotop10.net/Rex-Ryan-Tattoo">here</a>. Don't get me wrong, if you want to get a cartoon of your wife wearing the jersey of your starting quarterback, that's your prerogative. But if you make $2.875 million a year, you can afford a better tattoo. Seriously.<br /><br />Before you blow up my comments section with angry rebuttals, take a deep breath. Look at the link and the photo of Ryan's tattoo. Could you do better? Unless Mark Sanchez tattooed it himself, I think Rex Ryan got a bad deal.Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462616039278992942.post-28002044342160969882013-01-22T04:57:00.000-08:002013-01-26T23:45:44.837-08:00Shannon Shares Work by Stacey Martin and NoonSometimes a quick run to the grocery store brings an unexpected bonus.<br /><br />Last September, for example, I ran into Shannon, whose tattoos prompted me to stop and inquire.<br /><br />As it turned out, Shannon is one of the owners of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TripleDiamondTattoo">Triple Diamond Tattoo</a>, which opened last summer on Third Avenue in Brooklyn.<br /><br />She shared two tattoos, including this back piece:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YZjwLA0lHL0/UP6H1he-PzI/AAAAAAAAXEM/O-kncPrpsAw/s774/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="504" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-YZjwLA0lHL0/UP6H1he-PzI/AAAAAAAAXEM/O-kncPrpsAw/s640/photo.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />This tattoo features yellow roses and a fan and was inked by <a href="http://staceymartin.com/site/">Stacey Martin</a> at <a href="http://dovetailtattoo.com/site/">Dovetail Tattoo</a> in Austin, Texas. We have featured Stacey's work previously on Tattoosday, namely <a href="http://tattoosday.blogspot.com/2012/07/another-friday-13th-amazing-vargas.html">this piece</a> from last summer.<br /><br />Shannon also shared this unusual tattoo on her leg:<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iW7AD-gqI9M/UP6Kr2ab_AI/AAAAAAAAXEc/X9qkpaNr8b0/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-iW7AD-gqI9M/UP6Kr2ab_AI/AAAAAAAAXEc/X9qkpaNr8b0/s640/photo.jpg" width="288" /></a></div><br />The tattoo on her leg was done by <a href="http://www.boucherie-traditionnelle.com/boucherie_traditionnelle/index.html">Noon</a>, a modern abstract artist based in Troyes, France, who travels to the U.S. once a year.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RpqWKtgkUbM/UP6LCgMYhsI/AAAAAAAAXEg/CM7zGsnFEdk/s615/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-RpqWKtgkUbM/UP6LCgMYhsI/AAAAAAAAXEg/CM7zGsnFEdk/s640/photo.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br />I always ask about back story, of course, but also recognize their is a significant segment of the tattooed population who get tattooed for the sake of the art. Regrading these pieces, Shannon identified with the latter, stating simple, "I like what I like."<br /><br />Thanks to Shannon from stopping and sharing with me at Foodtown, so we could present these cool tattoos on Tattoosday!<br /><span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span><b id="internal-source-marker_0.19129610969685018" style="font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This entry is ©2013 Tattoosday.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"></span><br /><span style="font-family: Arial; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">If you are seeing this on another website other than Tattoosday, without attribution, please note that it has been copied without the author's permission and is in violation of copyright laws.

An Extreme Cold Weather Alert is called, typically in the morning, when Environment Canada: Predicts an overnight temperature of -15 degrees Celsius or lower without wind chill for Toronto, issues a wind chill warning for outdoor activity, and/or predicts extreme weather conditions, such as a blizzard, ice storm or sudden drops in temperature."Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462616039278992942.post-43714100454175394202013-01-21T08:43:00.000-08:002013-01-29T06:03:46.763-08:00Maple Leaf fan zone at Nathan Phillips Square<div class="mobile-photo" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsHk0UTp2Mn0xfwkeIq8OKvqEkHLURtUe4IKBwKbKCmHvzev1MKltXNgsZuSV6imUloVgnFS41-tHZvLREjZCVYqFHvVt_Ss9XzZ_hLuWbgQZRK-Obrjr_o56clpTPHWU31ogUb0z7PXo/s1600/leaf_nation_DSCN1426-798399.jpg"><img alt="" border="0" height="285" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5835944003552765346" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsHk0UTp2Mn0xfwkeIq8OKvqEkHLURtUe4IKBwKbKCmHvzev1MKltXNgsZuSV6imUloVgnFS41-tHZvLREjZCVYqFHvVt_Ss9XzZ_hLuWbgQZRK-Obrjr_o56clpTPHWU31ogUb0z7PXo/s400/leaf_nation_DSCN1426-798399.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>The #Toronto Maple Leafs home opener happens tonite (Monday, January 21, 2013) and as part of their ‘Passion Unites Us All’ post-lockout tour, the Leafs are paying the costs for skate rental at City Hall beginning at 10 am today.

The fired ornge CEO was previously in the hot seat about his salary, the purchase and payments from the helicopter manufacturer, his girlfriend and her role in the company among many other areas of concern. The expenses are the latest in the continuing saga for the doctor who is too sick now to do much of anything as his world has crumbled into ashes. Still the colour of the choppers and the name of the company are cool!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkM-pXJIUkic9OUb893EbRAQAM1nCfNvteCUTKjma5dqJqB-mRRNHxh6_l0i5AVuiolw7gUUa_WwrRd-HGA5kQ-bRhqZKjR_2IM-9fOeZdJJnE4N_7rnpgbKP3aZW7odbHlOWvN8YViWw/s1600/orngeDSC_7397.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="265" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgkM-pXJIUkic9OUb893EbRAQAM1nCfNvteCUTKjma5dqJqB-mRRNHxh6_l0i5AVuiolw7gUUa_WwrRd-HGA5kQ-bRhqZKjR_2IM-9fOeZdJJnE4N_7rnpgbKP3aZW7odbHlOWvN8YViWw/s400/orngeDSC_7397.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div>The history of the ornge fiasco from the <a href="http://www.ornge.ca/Media/Pages/MediaReleases.aspx">company's own press releases</a> tells much of the story.</div><div><br />As of December 19, 2012 ornge has brought in a new boss: "The Board of Directors of Ornge, Ontario’s provider of air ambulance and related services, is pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Andrew McCallum, M.D., F.R.C.P(C), as President and Chief Executive Officer of Ornge."<br /><br />By December 23, 2011 the ornge empire is crumbling and an internal memo which identifies their three priorities: "First, and foremost, we will stay absolutely focused on that for which we are relied upon every single day: caring for patients. It is why we’re here and what we do. You have our full commitment that this will be our overarching priority. Second, we will significantly improve transparency and accountability. This begins today, as auditors from the Ministry of Finance begin their work at our office. We welcome their arrival. We've dedicated a team to work with the audit team to ensure they get everything they need to do their work." In January of 2012 the related ornge web of companies, including ornge Global Solutions, begin to be dismantled and a new interim CEO and board is put in place at the air ambulance company.<br /><br />A story by CTV is fought by ornge and a news release states "On its 6:00 p.m. broadcast on September 6th, 2011, CTV Toronto aired a story with respect to Ornge’s service in Ontario. The story not only contained outdated and incorrect information but also omitted essential facts and was misleading. Ornge has notified CTV of these errors and has asked for a full apology from the network." Several days later CTV apologizes about their story about an auditor's review of ornge.<br /><br />August 25, 2008 The new helicopters are purchased: "Ornge, Canada’s leading innovator in the field of transport medicine announced today it is purchasing 10 new AgustaWestland helicopters to replace the current aging fleet of Sikorsky S-76 helicopters owned and operated by Canadian Helicopters Limited (CHL). “When Ornge was appointed to take over operations of the air ambulance system in 2006, we <br />immediately began looking at ways to improve the medical transport system and to make it more sustainable and efficient” said Dr. Chris Mazza, president and CEO of Ornge. “These new medically equipped helicopters are the most technologically advanced rotor wing aircraft in the industry today and Ontarians will benefit greatly and be proud to call them their own” he added."<br /><br />On August 28, 2006 " When appointed by the Ontario Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to co-ordinate all aspects of the province’s transport medicine system in January 2006, Ornge recognized the need to create a unique brand identity. “Orange is a heritage colour of our aircraft, so we decided that we wanted to make it official, said Dr. Mazza at the announcement."<br /><br />July 20, 2005: McGuinty's provincial government announces the new corporation: "The minister (George Smitherman) also introduced Dr. Chris Mazza as CEO of the non-profit Ontario Air Ambulance Services Corporation. "Over more than a quarter of a century Ontario's Air Ambulance program has grown to become one of the largest and most sophisticated in the world," Dr. Mazza said."</div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2462616039278992942.post-30955072148266667682013-01-19T20:48:00.000-08:002013-01-29T06:03:46.945-08:00Idle No More against the SUN<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4n5UT-hyoAlvt-V1yPf4oeNMJFRp5kpqUDPpn0Z9KhpG59qt4QrDEXuG-BxiZBwLCq6TRrlFsEF0Kd46KbOcP_9hcV20pHnZzPKJEDahxyuEpc-HjXTVSmNVt53-bb89r1Nd7Wj_OEU4/s1600/idlenomore_protest_sun_DS2_8609.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4n5UT-hyoAlvt-V1yPf4oeNMJFRp5kpqUDPpn0Z9KhpG59qt4QrDEXuG-BxiZBwLCq6TRrlFsEF0Kd46KbOcP_9hcV20pHnZzPKJEDahxyuEpc-HjXTVSmNVt53-bb89r1Nd7Wj_OEU4/s400/idlenomore_protest_sun_DS2_8609.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><a href="http://www.torontosun.com/2013/01/19/idle-no-more-protests-at-the-toronto-sun">Accusing the #Toronto Sun of racism</a> the Idle No More members head from St James Park to the Sun's King Street East office where SUN News commentator Ezra Levant came out to interview the protesters.
