A few days back I was reading an article on how the titles of the IPL franchisees are basis words related to royalty – Kings (2), Royals, Knights, and Chargers - Words from the medieval world. The more I think about the co-incidence of the titles to royalty, I realize that the similarity to royalty is more than just in the name
The IPL setup: A typical ‘empire’ style model…. With BCCI as the head of the empire, and the franchisees as the ‘jagirs’…. Every jagirdar (franchisee owner) has to pay a standard sum to the emperor every year… whether they make that much money or not…
Each Franchisee has its own flag; and war cry… similar to the medieval times… where the kings had their own flag and the army rallied around it….
Like the kings and their ministers… you have the business/entertainment Czars with their Durbar sitting in the Franchisee enclosures watching the matches… The kings also are seen showing off their spoils (especially the trophies from the fairer sex)….and as in the King’s Durbar, you have clowns too for entertainment
The auctioning…. Reminds me of the way the Gladiators were traded during the Roman empire… The public way the auctioning of the players are done is akin to the human trade of a bygone era
Talking about Gladiators…. I had read somewhere that each team of gladiators were a mix of veterans and rookies…. Look at any team in IPL, you will find the similarity….
They say history repeats itself…. And through IPL, repetition is truly happening;

At Reed's Beads
32 N. Main Street
Ambler, Pa
Just dropped off some pendants, scarves and silks to Erica on Thursday... It was Riley's first trip to a bead shop, so we snapped a picture:
And she had some beads that I couldn't resist! I have plans for these little jewels (if Chloe decides I can have them back)...
Peeves likes them too...

Sometimes A Little Gets You Started
I just buckled down and started to get the studio into a place where I can maybe actually work...
I had some clay slabs that got too hard to use back when I was pregnant with Chloe (3 years this summer - yikes!) that I decided to break up and put into the dry clay reclaiming buckets. +2 square ft of table space earned, yay!
Things have just been piling up on my slab roller table, which is my main work table for makind stuff and glazing...
And now, things have been shifted around, put away and I've got some room to get some work done when I find a fleeting few minutes.
