A rose by any other name...

So what's up with the name of my blog? I couldn't resist putting it in Latin. For one thing, it means the blog starts with an "A," and so, hopefully, will be alphabetized at the top of web lists. Latin also is a tersely lovely (though difficult) language. "Ars" for "Art." "Acupicturae" for "painting with a needle" in the genitive form (that's the "possessive" for you and me). "Stellae" for "Star's." (See: http://www.latin-dictionary.org/A/2/acupictura)
