Blind date
In an attempt to embarrass Julie at her bachelorette party, I stole an idea from my friend Ella and brought along a six foot inflated penis. (A little backstory is in order here: I had to call party favor stores, novelty shops and, finally, sex toy boutiques and ask, "Do you sell big inflatable penises?" The good people at Spartacus were able to accommodate me, and since they were so near John's office, I asked them to set one aside for John to pick up. Naturally, John walked into the store and said, "I understand you're holding a penis for me?") Then came the inflating bit, which John gamely took on while I tried to get pretty. I found him in the guest room, blowing into this tiny hole, dripping sweat onto the penis. (I admit, I took no small amount of pleasure from this.) We finally inflated the fella, and off I went. Then there was the matter of the restaurant manager's request that, since it was a family restaurant, I try to be discreet. She was cool about the whole thing, but how does one exercise discretion while carrying a giant penis down Broadway into a restaurant? I went with the trench coat. I was embarrassed; Julie was NOT, nor were her mother or her grandmother. Everyone in the restaurant got a laugh, and the manager on duty insisted we all pose for a picture in the lobby on our way out.

It hit me this week that it's time to start knitting again. Must be the fall bite in the air (which, btw, is quite annoying since it's still August and we didn't even get the true feel of summer here until practically July. But I'm not bitter.). I can't really say I don't have anything on my needles, because I do. It's been hanging out in my knitting bag for months now, and I can't seem to get through more than two rows before I start yawning from boredom. I think it could be because it's a re-run---I've knit one already and liked it so much I decided to cast on another. And this one's red; a really, really beautiful red. Lamb's Pride Blue Blood Red. Apparently, that's still not enough to lure me back. For now, I've lost interest. Maybe I have K(nitting)ADD?
Whatever the reason, I'm not inspired by what I have going, and yet I'm really in the mood to knit. So, it's time to pick a new project and cast on. I've found myself poking around on Ravelry the past few days, looking for something I just have to make. Even if it's just a scarf. Heck, it's been so many months since I've been serious about knitting, it probably should be just a scarf. We'll see.
I'm posting about this to keep myself honest. I will cast on a new project within the week. And I will post about it.
There. No pressure.

Trying to Decide Between Implants and Dentures?

Dental implants and dentures are popular treatment options for patients looking to replace missing teeth or improve the appearance of their smile. Each treatment has benefits and drawbacks. Dr. Hudson offers both implants and dental prosthetic options for patients looking to restore their smiles.
How Do They Look? Dental implants are made of high-quality ceramic, so they look, feel and function just like your natural teeth. They are also matched to your other teeth so they blend and lend to a natural look. Dentures are made of metal, acrylic, plastic and porcelain and are also matched to your other teeth so your smile is natural.
Natural Feeling. Some patients report that dental implants feel more natural because of their permanence. Dentures may feel unnatural to patients at first, and some patients report clicking noises when chewing with dentures.
Better Oral Health. Since implants are just like natural teeth, they are also cared for just like natural teeth. Brush and floss like you normally would, to keep bacteria and dental plaque at bay. Dentures and other prosthetic dental treatments are not permanent fixtures in your mouth, which means food debris and bacteria can make their way underneath, causing tooth decay and periodontal disease. It is important to remember that with either treatment, you need to practice good oral hygiene to minimize damage and gum disease.
Permanence. Implants do not move or slide around and do not require special adhesives to keep them in place. Dental implants are designed to grow into your bone to become a permanent part of your mouth. When dental implants are properly maintained, they will last the rest of your life.
Although dentures are removable, if you take good care of them, they will last for years - but they are subject to wear and tear. They will also have to be refitted later in life as you age. Denture maintenance includes brushing them like regular teeth and also soaking them in special cleansers to kill bacteria and keep them fresh.
Speech Benefits. If dentures are not properly fitted, they can slip. This leads to problems with your speech. Many patients with dentures and bridges develop speech impediments such as slurring or lisping. Dental implants may also impact your speech after placement as you heal and get used to your new tooth.
Do you have questions about dental implants or dentures? Give Dr. Hudson today at 888-724-7986.

These videos are so amazing. I don't quite know exactly how to comprehend the idea that a candidate would pay and endorse these ads. I'm in San Francisco right now, so I got a huge kick out of the "San Francisco Values" theme of them.

While I work my way through the eBay appeals process, I've moved my eCommerce to Etsy. I exchanged a few emails with them before setting up shop, and they're totally cool with hosting music commissions. Their fees are also less than eBay, but there's no chance of anybody bidding up the price.
I've got 22 opportunities for commissions remaining. Well, 21, because I really want to get one from Queen Beatrix. To show my appreciation for her allowing my use of the Royal Conservatory, I will wave my fee. It's the least I can do. And, of course, I'll use her equipment to make the piece.
Since I attend the Royal Conservatory, there actually is some connection to the queen. She regularly exchanges letters with the head of my school. So, to reach the queen, I have to convince his secretary that I'm worth his time, and then him that I'm worth the queen's time and then the queen herself. I've heard that she likes ballet and goes to the ballet performances at school, so I could wait for one of those and attempt to approach her. And/or, I can try going through the three filter approach. I really am quite fond of Stravinsky, so I think I will aim for something like Stravinsky-meets-IDM-meets-noise, with emphasis on the Stravinsky. There's now some documentation to use the OSC->CV converters at school, so I can get the kind of tuning I need to make a (micro)tonal piece.
I'm not sure entirely how to pitch this. I mean, I really want to write something that she'll like. And all my pieces are really short. If I write something a minute long and she doesn't like it, at least I haven't taken up too much of her time. I think I'll leave that last bit as unspoken, since it's not really compelling.
Anyway, if any of you, dear readers, has some connection to the Queen of the Netherlands (or, you know, any royalty, but other monarchs will need to pay the $14), please let me know.
Of course, there are still the other 21 unpurchased commissions. Apparently, it's possible to buy metro ads in Rotterdam for 17,50€ / week. According to an ad I saw. I haven't contacted them to see if I can really just get one. I haven't put any effort into buying banner ads on the web yet, but I think I'll approach some New Music blogs. I'm not sure what to put in a print ad. a picture of myself? A cool closeup of some synthesizer knobs? A picture of myself in front of some close-up synthesizer knobs?
Yesterday, I discovered a pocket notebook that I got in 2003 to jot down my musical ideas. This morning, I went to read it. What half-forgotten ideas could I return to and realize? The sole idea that I wrote down starts with, "Patron system: possibility of running a commission service" and continues like a Marketting Requirements Document. Ha ha ha. Awesome.
Composers, of course, have something called cultural capital. They help forge identities for their communities. American composers bolster the American identity. Gay composers bolster the gay identity. And so on. Many composers are slightly outside of the mainstream of their culture. By writing music, they gain additional access to the shared culture, while having a hand in forming it. The problem for the last several years has been how to turn cultural capital into monetary capital.
But I see the commissioning/gift economy as something more than just a capital-based solution. One of the huge problems of the current broken copyright system is that people do not own their own culture. Our shared myths don't belong to us, they belong to corporations! The gift economy of music puts our culture back into our own hands. Furthermore, commissioning directly involves the community. Commissioners have a say in the formation of their culture. They share cultural capital with the composer. They directly participate in society and culture. Commissioners are catylists for cultural creation and change. They help build a shared identity and strengthen their culture. Commissioning music is the patriotic thing to do.
What is a country? Is it just a land mass? Is it a particular government? Is it a collection of people who happen to live within certain geographical borders? No, a nation is an identity. A country arises from the people. When somebody loves a country, they love the people, they love the art, they love the history, they love the culture. And if you love something, you don't passively watch it, you participate. You vote. You hike. You create community and participate in institutions. Art is patriotic.
I, like most folks, have many different identity affiliations. I'm American. I'm queer. I'm Californian. I'm a student. I'm a composer. I live and learn in Holland. (I'm a manly man.) I have an exerimental asthetic. etc etc etc. When I make music, I am all of those identites making music.
So how do you concisely, pictorally represent the possibility of expanding cultural capital on the basis of music and identity and sounds? Maybe a screen shot of Ardour?

Legislation comes amid claims Trump could use authority to excuse self from potential wrongdoing
Congressman Al Green on Thursday is leading a trio of lawmakers in introducing a constitutional amendment to prevent presidents from using their pardon power to excuse themselves from wrongdoing they commit while in office.
"To do so would lawfully allow the president to commit the most egregious acts with impunity," Green said in a statement. "However, because someday some unprincipled President might attempt a self-pardon, we are filing a constitutional amendment to make clear what people of good will believe true."
Congressmen Seth Moulton and Brad Sherman joined Green in introducing the bill.
Neither the legislation nor Green's announcement mentions President Donald Trump by name, but questions have mounted about the president potentially pardoning himself or his top staff amid investigations into his campaign's alleged ties to Russian attempts to influence last year's presidential election.
Trump's recently-appointed communication director Anthony Scaramucci acknowledged the president has discussed pardon issues in the Oval Office, but called claims the Trump is planning to pardon himself "nonsense".
Trump recently tweeted presidents have "the complete power to pardon".
In order to pass on Capitol Hill, the proposed amendment will require a two-thirds majority in each chamber, which would likely be a tough task for the three Democrat congressmen as Republicans firmly control the House, and narrowly hold the Senate.
It would then have to be ratified by at least three-fourths of U.S. states.
The legislation is expected to hit the federal register Friday, Green's office said.
House lawmakers leave for a month-long summer recess that day, meaning any action on the bill would likely be forestalled until they return.

There Is No Plan For Brexit
Bloomberg recently published a short Brexit Q&A. The excerpt below pretty much sums up the level of uncertainty surrounding the monumental and unprecedented task of having a country leave the European Union via Article 50.
Brexit And U.S. Stocks
This week's video looks at the markets (NYSEARCA:SPY) pre- and post-Brexit to gain a better understanding of the potential downside risks.
After you click play, use the button in the lower-right corner of the video player to view in full-screen mode. Hit Esc to exit full-screen mode.
Leadership And Execution Issues
Not only is there no plan in place for Brexit, the U.K.'s (NYSEARCA:EWU) government is also in flux after Prime Minister David Cameron's resignation following last week vote. From The Wall Street Journal:
Investors face a range of question marks following the vote, including the makeup of Britain's political leadership, the country's future relationship with the EU, the long-term impact on business confidence and investment in Europe, and the response it will prompt from policy makers and politicians around the world. "There are just so many moving bits…it's a highly uncertain future," said Mark Harris, head of multiasset at City Financial in London. "To say that I'm stunned is an understatement," he added.
S&P 500 Breaks Support Intraday
In the United States, the S&P 500 (NYSEARCA:IVV) dropped out of its multiple-month trading range (green box below) during Monday's session.
Monday's session also was marked by very strong trading volume in the S&P 500 ETF , which continues the concerning trend outlined on June 22.

ROAD FC announces investment from the China International Culture and Arts Company
ROAD FC announces investment from the China International Culture and Arts Company
For immediate release:
8 November, 2016 – ROAD Fighting Championship is pleased to announce investment from the China International Culture and Arts Company, China's premier management, consulting and brokerage firm for the visual and performing arts.
The 11th China Beijing International Cultural and Creative Industry Expo was recently held in Beijing, China to to promote cultural integration - to dig deeper into joint development between the industries of culture, science and technology, education, sports, tourism, and finance. The expo featured over 1,800 exhibitors and was attended by over 220,000 people. It was sponsored by the Beijing State-owned Culture Assets Supervision and Administration Office, the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, the Industrial Cultural Development and the China Technology Development Association.
During the Expo, 2016 Cultural Integration Development Project Meeting was held on October 28, 2016. The outlook on investment in the Mixed Martial Arts sector was favorable and ROAD FC secured capital cooperation from the China International Culture and Arts Company (CICAC). CICAC is a powerhouse in the visual and performing arts industry in China. Since their formation in 1990, the company has promoted thousands of international performances and events from over 100 countries.
After researching all of the world's top combat sports promotions and Chinese promotions, CICAC assessed that ROAD FC is the most suitable for the Chinese market. Because ROAD FC has an international broadcast to viewers at home and abroad, ROAD FC has a greater impact on the market and a strong reputation. Since landing a live broadcast on sports channel CCTV5, ROAD FC has been in the top five of the weekend's prime-time ratings six consecutive times. On the event on July 2 in Changsha, Hunan Satellite TV station broadcast ranked third overall. Additionally, ROAD FC has already secured backing and sponsorships from giants in the gaming and technology fields, including Tianshen Yule and Xiaomi.
CICAC Director Jin Hui and ROAD FC subsidiary Beijing ROAD CEO Zhang Xiaodie signed a strategic investment agreement on site at the Meeting.
Director Jin stated,
"Behind the mature development of ROAD FC is a truly international operation team, efficient organization and operational capability, and the true high spirit of competition. We will fully support ROAD FC with online and offline events, for advancement in the scientific concept of sport as the new healthy lifestyle, and set an example to young people to restore the Chinese nation's 'warrior spirit'."
Beijing ROAD CEO Zhang stated,
"I am honored, and now even more confident on ROAD FC's strategy in China. We are excited to soon open the first ROAD FC Gym in the Sanlitun area of Beijing. As an international team, we will all uphold the business philosophy today of 'sports, entertainment, technology, green' for healthy entertainment and grow with the new 'sport and leisure' trend."
Xiaomi ROAD FC 034 and 035
Xiaomi ROAD FC 034 will take place on 19 November in Shijiazhuang, Hebei, China. The Main Event will be the ROAD FC Featherweight Championship, as title holder Choi Mu-Gyeom takes on challenger Murat Kazgan of Turkey. Additionally, the China Trials for the ROAD FC $1 Million 70kg Tournament will be held, with 4 winners to be seeded in the Tournament.
Xiaomi ROAD FC 035 will take place on 10 December in Seoul, South Korea. The Main Event is a Special Charity match between actor Kim Bo-Sung and Kondo Tetsuo. There will be three Championship bouts, including Lightweight Champion Kwon A-Sol versus Shinji Sasaki, Middleweight Champion Cha Jung-Hwan versus "Ryo" Choi Young, and Openweight Champion Mighty Mo versus Carlos Toyota.
New Wave MMA ROAD FC is the stage where legends shine, rookies thrill, and epic battles are waged that determine the future of MMA. From the pageantry of the grand entrance to the final crunch of the KO, ROAD FC showcases the very best of Mixed Martial Arts sports and entertainment. As we say in Korea, "Fighting!"

text: I just wanted to extend a big thanks to my company for giving us gift cards for gas. While times are tough and gas prices are raping us all it really made my day to know that my company does recognize that it's employees are hurting. We have all been complaining about how these prices are affecting us & my biggest cut has been food & socializing. I used to buy way more fresh fruits and veggies and now I can no longer afford to do so. I also used to go out 1 night a week which I can no longer afford either. Having a free tank of gas will really help me to stock up on some food, pay other bills, and spend some time with my friends and family that have been neglected by me due to this rough economical climate. We had tried to get the office to go to a four day work week but that obviously was not feasible and receiving these gas cards just lets me know that making our concern known to management really did make a difference after all!! So if you are struggling at work to make ends meet because of the price of gas, maybe it won't hurt to voice your concern and see if your employer might be willing to help you out too. After all, a happy employee makes a healthy working environment!!

It was a comfortable 92 degrees outside when I left for work this morning. A nice breeze was coming off of Lake Michigan, making it feel cooler than it was. As I drove over the Hoan Bridge, I wondered if I would have to put the top up later for the drive home. It was expected to be warmer than the day before. We hit 98 yesterday and are expected to top out at at least 101. With the heat index, that should be something like 109. That is pretty damn warm.
So you might be asking yourself, how do I beat the heat? The answer is simple. Cold beverages. Here is a bit of advice for what to drink to beat the heat.
First, let me start by saying you should find what works best for you. Some of you may not like beer, hard liquor, malt beverages, etc. I am going to try and hit the better categories. I encourage you to leave other ideas as well.
On the really hot days, I find the hard lemonades to be just right. Poured over ice, they deliver a nice crisp sensation of cold throughout the body. They relieve you of any heat and stress you may have accumulated from the day. Better yet, you can usually pack a number of these away before feeling a good drunk come on. Mike's Hard Lemonade is the king of these coolers. Don't know if they even make Rick's Lemonade any more. IMO, that was better.
Or you want to stick with a classic, Vodka & lemonade. A summer classic. Pour yourself a tall one and kick back to soak in some rays. You can't go wrong with Vodka & lemonade. Stick to the high end on the vodka though. It can make a difference. You don't want to spend time sucking done cheap vodka.
Speaking of vodka, I would also recommend other clear liquors (rum, gin) mixed with with light juices or sodas. Skip anything dark. Mojitos are hot right now. Gin and tonics will definitely cool you off. Hell, Kiss doesn't sing about Cold Gin for nothing.
So you say the lemonades are too sweet eh? You are a beer person. You think I wouldn't have any good ales or lagers to mention? I go back to my beer making days for the first rec. I recall me and a friend making a killer batch of Rocky Raccoon's Honey Ale one summer. I barely recall drinking a couple on the front porch before I was hammered. It was some potent stuff. But it was also smooth and refreshing. If you can find it, I would highly suggest Gray's Honey Ale. They used to serve it at BW3s but no longer do. You may have to hunt it down at your liquor store. But it is quite simply the best honey ale on the market. Tastes great and goes down quickly. You may find the first one disappearing quickly after you order it.
Along those lines, I also would suggest the wheat beers. I have already proclaimed Leinie's Sunset Wheat the beer of summer. The Sunset Wheat is damn good. Even better when the thermometer is about to blow. Along those lines, Belgian Whites are good too. Blue Moon is also a great idea. Looks heavy but it quite light. Goes down well too.
You can always do those marathon beers that you drink all the time but why? Try something different that can cool you off quicker. Trust me, I know what I am doing. Please leave any other great ideas in the comments. Together we can survive the heat wave. And get drunk.

How, sir, did I navigate the alchohol forest before your stylings on all manner of adult beverages came along?
Like an amateur.
I think I need a drink now. Thanks for the recommendations. In fact, STB Recommends would be a great "official" feature.
Better idea, write a book.

The Galveston County Daily News
March 3, 2010
By: Lincoln McCurdy
The United States is confronted with a daunting number of challenges in our nation's foreign relations.
America is managing wars in Iraq and Afghanistan and trying to find ways to bring our troops back safely and without compromising our national security. We are working to maintain a nuclear-free Iran, secure our energy sources and prevent the growth and spread of international terrorist networks. In all these and many other areas affecting Americans and millions of others around the world, we have an ally in Turkey.
In a bizarre move during such turbulent times, members of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, including U.S. Rep. Ron Paul, are preparing to vote Thursday on House Resolution 252, which will recognize as "genocide" tragic events that took place nearly 100 years ago in the now defunct Ottoman Empire, despite many holes in the historical argument.
This begs the question: Why is the committee, at a time when we are dealing with pressing international and domestic issues, all of which require Turkey's support and active participation, squandering its time on an issue that has no relevance to America's foreign relations and interests?
The answer is simple: lobbying.
Despite much bravado about limiting the influence of special interests, money and manpower still control Washington's agenda. In the United States, there are nearly 1 million Armenian Americans, concentrated in a number of congressional districts, who support a lobby that spends an estimated $40 million annually on furthering its agenda, which revolves around recognition of an "Armenian Genocide." Their efforts also have made Armenia, a small landlocked country, the second-largest per-capita recipient of U.S. foreign aid.
Proponents of the resolution frequently admonish its opponents by pointing to a moral obligation of Congress to pronounce that the now-defunct Ottoman Empire committed "genocide" against Armenians. In doing so, they choose to ignore the many well-regarded historians who dispute this claim.
Still, Armenian resolutions persist due to the efforts of a well-organized Armenian lobby that has turned hating Turkey into an existential cause.
The resolution comes up for a vote at a particularly strange time. Armenia and Turkey are trying to work through a diplomatic process, with the support of the United States, which lays out a road map to normalizing relations. This effort includes the establishment of a joint historical commission of scholars and experts.
Turkey's leadership time and again has stated it will accept the findings of such a commission. It is telling that the Armenian lobby and its supporters in Congress not only oppose the normalization process, but, with even greater zeal, the establishment of this commission.
This issue, ultimately, should not be on the docket of Congress, which is neither the "conscience" of the world, nor its revisionist historian. It's time to put an end to an dangerous game, but it will only end when Texans pay attention and tell Rep. Paul to oppose this resolution Thursday.
Lincoln McCurdy is president of the Turkish Coalition of America and a former U.S. diplomat. The coalition's Web site is at tc-america.org.

Occasionally we'll ask someone about how their last mailing performed, only to learn, sadly, that they didn't keep track of the results. Tracking responses is vital to your success with your direct mail. By keeping careful records of how well your mailings perform you enable yourself to enjoy one of the great benefits of direct mail... Measurability.
How do we do this? Tracking results can be as simple as keeping a record in a notebook or, for the business that does a lot of direct mail, tracking it on your PC. The principles are the same.
First, you need to ask yourself what you want to know about the results of your mailing. The first thing you need to know is pure "front end" response. That is, how many people responded to your mailing? Let's say we send out 5000 pieces of mail asking people to send in a reply card and request a copy of your catalog. 100 people respond. That gives us a response rate of 2% on the "front end"... that is those who responded to the first part of our offer... they sent for a catalog.
Looking at that response we probably want to record the following information:
- How many responded in numbers.
- What is the response as a percentage of the total offers mailed out?
- Of those who requested a catalog, how many ultimately ordered?
- What are the names and addresses of those who responded?
- How much was the value of their order?
- Did they pay their bill?
- Do they order again, etc.
Get a 3 ring binder with a vinyl sheet protector. Place your mailing package into the sheet protector so you will have an actual sample of what you mailed.
Then, on a piece of notebook paper, record the following information:
- Name of mailing
- Quantity mailed
- Date mailed
- Mailing list used
|# of replies received
|Total # received to date
|% response
It might look like this:
Mailing: Fall Subscription Promotion
|#of Replies
|Total # Received to date
|% response
This simple form will allow you to track the response to your mailing.
There are other facts you will also want to keep track of as you start to build a customer list. Each time you receive an response you will want to add that name to your database of customers and/or prospects. The computer can handle this job very neatly and there are some ready made software packages that you can purchase as your list begins to grow.
Your database will need the following information:
Name and address of the respondent
The date they responded
The offer they responded to with the exact code of the mailing
The amount of their order and how they paid for it
As you begin building this database, each time you have another transaction with that customer you will want to add the information to their record. In this way you will be able to establish good information on each of your customers. You will be able to use this information to track their value to you over the years of your relationship and you will also be able to identify your best customers. Those "best" customers might be singled out for special promotions or special follow up.
Good records are the key to your success with direct mail. Start out correctly and you will be building a valuable tool on which to build you future.

How to Ship a Car to Suriname through Professional Transport Services
Suriname is a popular destination for vacationers. Since it is a Caribbean country, it has a warm tropical climate but stays rainy most of the year. If you are interested in visiting Suriname, consider hiring a professional auto hauling company to ship your car there.
The cost of shipping is affordable. It is also safe and reliable as well. Taking advantage of a car shipping company means that you will have total control of your time once you arrive in Suriname. Get quotes from at least three reputable companies before hiring just anyone.
A-1 Auto Transport, Inc. ships vehicles worldwide. Click here or call 1-800-518-8708 to get a free, no obligation to buy price quote to ship your car.
How Long does it Take to Ship a Car Overseas.
The length of time it takes to ship a car to Suriname can be up to two weeks. You should book a ship date with an auto transport company at least two weeks prior to the date you plan on leaving. One nice thing about hiring an auto transport company is that they have real-time satellite tracking available so you can see where your car is at all times. If you need your vehicle shipped before two weeks, consider purchasing air freight.
Different Types of Shipping Solutions.
- Enclosed Transport – This method is the safest and most secure way to ship a vehicle. However, it is also the most expensive way to transport a vehicle overseas. This type of shipping protects vehicles from weather conditions and theft better than any other method on the market. Professionals recommend this type of transport for anyone who has highly valuable vehicles or antique cars.
- Open Air Transport – This is the most popular way to ship a vehicle from one destination to the next. You will need to prepare your vehicle for this method of transport. Have leaks repaired, wash the dirt and debris from the vehicle and make sure the gas reading is no higher than ¼ of a tank of gas. You must also remove all personal possessions from the vehicle using this method.

July 20
Jeff was elbow deep in a sudsy sink, washing dishes, when the thumping came. After the fact, he realized that it was knocking, but the sound was so much larger that that, he didn't realize it at the time.
He quickly walked into the living room, wiping the soap from his hands with a towel, and he could see a silhouette knocking on the door to the deck. Ordinarily the doors would be open overnight to let the house breathe and let out the hot air, but last night there had been a breeze that was too cool to be comfortable and Jeff had locked up before going to bed. Later he wondered if the girl would have just walked right in if the doors had not been closed and locked.
"Help," he heard a woman's voice call over the pounding.
"What the fuck is going on?" Stuart said, emerging from his bedroom, rubbing his eyes.
Jeff threw the bolt and pulled the door open. A young woman took a step back, apparently startled at the response. Her eyes were staring, haunted for a moment, and then she pushed her way in.
"You have to help me," she said, screeching, grabbing at Jeff. "I think he's dead!"
"Who?" both men said together.
"Henry! He wasn't breathing, we need to call someone!"
So instead of asking all the questions that were on their minds, and there were lots, Jeff called 911 on the landline and Stuart got the girl some water.
"Just a second," Jeff said, in response to a question from the emergency operator. "Um..." he looked at the girl, unsure what to call her. "Henry is Henry Thorsen, right?"
She looked up and nodded urgently.
"They're on their way," Jeff said, hanging up a moment later.
"We have to go and help him," the girl said, and the men looked at each other. Morbidly, they both wanted to go to the next door house, so they let her lead the way.
"He said...he said he was gonna do it last night," she stammered, as she led them through the line of trees. "But I didn't believe him."
"What?" Stuart asked.
"That he was gonna, you know, do it."
Stuart rolled his eyes at Jeff. She sounded like a sixth grader talking about sex. Jeff changed the subject.
"So how do you know Henry?" he asked, intentionally using the same name for him that she had used.
"Oh, I'm his girlfriend," she said, without hesitation.
Stuart threw Jeff another glance. Jeff would have guessed young relative, niece or daughter, certainly not lover. But now that he took a second look at her, it made sense. She was wearing a wife beater and boxer shorts, clearly what she slept in. Her hair was wound together in gentle dreads at the back of her head, there were spacers in her ears, and she had henna markings on her hands. She would dig a counter culture icon like him. Although Jeff could not imagine sleeping with anyone that much older than himself, no matter how cool they were.
"Okay," Jeff said, just to keep her talking. "How long have you been out here?"
"We just got back from a publishing conference. They gave him an award."
"Oh, yeah,"Stuart said, "I forgot that was this weekend. Chicago Publisher's Convention," he told Jeff.
"So that was this huge deal, and then we got back here and he was all down and said that even though they gave him an award, no one actually wanted to publish his fucking books anymore."
Stuart reached forward and grabbed her arm. She was pliable now, talking about Thorsen as if he were a concept instead of a person. Her face was slack and empty of expression.
"And he threated to hurt himself?"
She nodded.
"And he's inside?"
She nodded again.
They were in the yard of the Victorian now, so Stuart led the girl over to the truck, which was unlocked, and put her in it. He left the door open and returned to Jeff.
"You follow all that?"
"Yeah. You really think..." Stuart started nodding, so Jeff didn't bother to finish. "I guess I figured he just had a heart attack or something, you know?" he said instead.
"Yeah, me too. 'Specially with Miss My Legs Up To My Chin, over there."
"So, now what?"
Stuart grinned, his teeth flashing with a carnivore's glee. "I dunno about you, kid, but there's no way I'm passing this up."
"But if he really topped himself, this place is gonna be a fucking crime scene in ten minutes!"
"Suicide isn't illegal in Washington State," Stuart shot back. "I'm never gonna have another chance like this. I've sat in on autopsies before and shit, but it was never real. As far as the cops were concerned, we thought there might be a chance he wasn't dead, okay? It's not like we really got much info out of her, is it? She's hysterical or in shock or something."
Jeff shook his head. "You're nuts."
"I'm just making the case for what we both wanna do. Imagine the shit this'll give you for your book!"
That, of course, was what did it. It was what pushed Jeff's reason off the cliff and propelled him to follow Victor Stuart as they entered Thorsen's house.
The door was ajar, and Victor pushed it open with the tip of his shoe. He looked back at Jeff and the two of them entered.
They did a quick circuit of the ground floor, which was set up as a huge square around the giant staircase that divided the house. In one corner was a small bedroom, filled with the remnants of Thorsen's career, awards, posters, trophies, a stuffed lion's head, and a wall covered in rack-mounted guns.
"I could spend a fucking day exploring just this room," Stuart said quietly, as if he were in church or a library.
Jeff put his hand on Stuart's shoulder. "We don't have time, dude, c'mon!"
The rest of the downstairs held nothing interesting, except that, on some level, it was all interesting. If Thorsen were really dead, then this entire house was practically a museum of his life. What magazines did he read in this living room, what food did he eat in this kitchen, did he shoot the colossal buffalo whose head was mounted over the dining room table?
Jeff found a door in the kitchen that led into a cellar. It was not finished, like his basement, it still had dirt walls and it was filled with swollen, oozing boxes of documents, magazines, manuscripts, catalogs, newspapers. As soon as he saw the contents of the room, Jeff was tugging on Stuart's arm again, anxious that if they were going to see the body, they should do so ASAP.
"Yeah, yeah," Stuart said, almost to himself, looking over his shoulder as they went back up the basement stairs.
They split up at the top of the stairs to the second floor, Jeff going left, Stuart going right.
Jeff found what seemed to be a guest bedroom, devoid of any particular personality. There was a larger room next to it, which might have been a study 100 years ago, but which was now an entertainment room, with a digital project and small rows of theater seats.
"Found him!" he heard Stuart cry, and he ran out into the hall.

The Author, Chapter Thirty-Eight: Thorsen

Ok, I loved this part of the story. It has a ton of tension, even a little bit of dread. But then it has this fucked up layer of humor and silliness that I love. Suddenly our two protagonists are 16 year old buddies in the middle of serious trouble and trying to have fun with it. I thought this chapter was brilliant, Beau.ReplyDelete
Wow, thanks, Ryan. I appreciate it!ReplyDelete

TEMPO MAGUIRES.Tempo Maguires.
All those who have not yet returned their ticket sales in the National Draw are asked to do so before this coming Sunday evening/ Monday morning. Approximately 50% of tickets have been returned and the club thanks those who have done so. Since all monies collected go into club funding this draw does provide a terrific opportunity to boost finances and those who have still to submit their returns are earnestly encouraged to do so.
The Lotto jackpot for Saturday January 23rd was not won the numbers drawn being 1 7 12 and 21. Winners of the two £25 prizes were Aiden Breen and Una Shannon. The jackpot for Saturday January 30th stands at £6 900.
On duty for Saturdays January 30 and February 6 is the team led by Teresa McNabb,Thomas Dunne, Eunan McCann and Adrian Green. The team on duty for February 13 and 20 is Gerard Cassidy, Brian Rogers and Tony Kelly.
The first football competition of the new season will be the minor league, the opening game scheduled for a date in mid February. This will be finally decided by the next Co Youth Board meeting. Preparation for the competition has been ongoing over several weeks under the management eye of Declan McStravick, Sean McCaffery and Brendan Fee with a regular two training sessions per week regime in the Bawnacre complex in Irvinestown.
The team also played a challenge game with Tyrone side Clogher and have a second game with Fintona scheduled for tomorrow (Thursday).
Last season the juvenile squad put in a promising performance and hopes are high that that will be built on in this year's older minor grade.
The drive to reach the target of membership for the five year funding scheme for the proposed new pitch development is now in its final stages and it is intended to have the scheme up and running come February. This will be in tandem with initial work on the project with the main body of work hopefully commencing in mid Spring. By mid summer there should be significant progress made overall. A billboard outlining the proposed development will be erected on the site inside the next week or so.
The weekly games session in the Community Centre resumed last Thursday after a postponement caused by poor weather. Prize money on offer is in the region of £2 300 and admission is £10.

Imagine a sound extremely loud, incredibly obnoxious and so ear piercing it would either create a migraine on the spot or enhance a brewing headache in the back of your head to the point of explosion.
Now imagine this sound in a room of preschoolers with issues. We have a couple of autistic boys, two little ones needing the aid of a wheel chair and various other children with their own special problems. We did not need a fire drill in the mist of our morning session.
Although I do appreciate the principal letting us know in advance that the school would be having a drill, he just didn't tell us when the drill would be happening. We stayed on schedule, had our dancing, circle and snack but behind the scenes we were also preparing for what lies ahead, the long walk to the fence on the other side of the playground. We lined up the wheelchairs, loaded the wagon with their backpacks and coats, and had the rope ready to go. The rope is a colorful line with rings that the kids hang on to so we can attempt to keep them all together.
Usually after snack we have free play, a time where they can choose a activity or simply explore the room. With only an hour and a half of class our transitions are chop, chop and sometimes I feel we rush them just a tad. After free play we clean up and spend the last 15 minutes outside.
With the fire drill interrupting our free play, we went to Plan B and decided to keep the kids outside so they can enjoy a longer time on the playground. Let me start off by saying, when the bell sounded it's alarm, the kids handled it like nobodies business. They lined up and walked the long walk. Our one little fella in the wheelchair got a big kick out of his bumpy ride and giggled all the way to the fence and our two little autistic boys had no reaction to the noise what so ever, it was absolutely unbelievable. After the drill, while the rest of the school children headed back to class, we on the other hand headed for the playground.
Our preschoolers thoroughly enjoyed their extra long recess and after we loaded them on the bus, we just stood there for a minute in awe on how smoothly the day went.
What do you think, should be bag the IEP objectives and let them just dance, eat and play outside? "Uh sorry parents, your child has not completed any of his goals and objectives but boy did we have a great time, see ya next year!"
It was truly one of the best days we ever had.

A short while ago I invited people to do their rendition of Pachelbel's Canon.
Danielle rose to the task after an unexpected bout with three hurricanes.
Danielle's arrangement is a pure string rendition using mostly solo strings (ensemble building). Danielle used 9 solo violins, viola pizz, harp, 4 solo cellos, and bass section pizz are the rest
The Canon in D was written by Johann Pachelbel around 1680 (nearly 325 years old!).
Although a very simple composition, Pachelbel's Canon is difficult to mock-up because it is so familiar and there are so many interpretations of it. You hear it played at nearly every wedding. It was the theme song of the film "Ordinary People" and was used in 'Father of the Bride' and other movies. You hear it played in many TV ads and even in a Coolio rap song. It's everywhere.
Comments and suggestions are welcome.
I feel that Danielle did an extraordinary job. Thanks Danielle for doing this and sharing it with us.

Small-business owners' confidence in March fell to its lowest level in more than a year, according to new data Discover Financial Services released this week.
The Discover Small Business Watch index fell to 75.7 in March, down 9.2 points from 84.9 the previous month. The Watch index fell to as low as 71.9 in February of last year.
The Business Watch is a monthly report measuring the relative economic confidence of 750 randomly selected small-business owners based on their responses to six questions. Its creators established a base index of 100 when the Watch began in August 2006.
Some 53% of small-business owners surveyed in March said they expect to see economic conditions deteriorate for their own businesses during the next six months compared with 37% who said so in February. Some 52% of respondents said they plan to decrease spending on their businesses, up from 43% who said so in February.
Asked to gauge the health of the economy at large, 58% of respondents this month said it is getting worse, up from 44% who said so in February, while 22% said they think the economy is getting better, down from 31% who said so last month. Some 16% of respondents said economic conditions are holding steady versus 24% who said so in February.
Although Discover has seen larger month-over-month declines in business-owner confidence, the new data suggests a pattern of restraint emerging, Ryan Scully, Discover business card director, said in a statement. "Small-business owners don't like what they're seeing, both at home and in the larger economy, and they're responding by pulling back rather than just holding the line," Scully said.
Most small-business owners did not benefit from tax breaks in 2009, according to the survey. Some 72% of small-business owners surveyed said they were unable to take advantage of tax breaks for their businesses or themselves last year, while 19% said they benefited from tax breaks and 9% were not sure.

Polar vortex, did someone call it? The icy burden of zero-dipping weather, I mean. In America, where we must have names and explanations for everything, the term was just one more blank in the pre-millennial dictionary in my head. And we had long thought that with El Nino, we had heard everything there was to know about crazy weather.
(Along with the thousands of flight cancellations and dead batteries, PV aIso will lead to friendly approaches by folks blithely asking: "Is it cold enough for you?" I have yet to figure out an appropriate response.)
The media loves freaky weather. Headline writers can top stories with "Brrrr..." or "city digs out" - observations that do not require advanced journalism degrees. And then there was the news editor across the room from me who who lived for the moment that we would get a photo of an old woman, head scarf flat out and a twisted umbrella, bent forward against the wind!
The interesting non-confrontational thing about freaky weather is that nobody can trace it to the liberal media. Can't happen when nature takes over. No risks that anybody will turn off the TV or cancel a newspaper subscription over sub-zero reports. And although the TV meteorologist commands the screen with weird looking maps (a benefit I never enjoyed growing up in a frigid hill town) their boasts of being first with the stories lose some credibility when you consider that all of the reports arrive from the same National Weather Service.
At the same time, we've noticed that the climate deniers are stomping with finger-pointing delight to the minus-30s in some northern states. Numbing evidence, they'll tell you, with anecdotal science to satisfy their spinning.The Plain Dealer's Kevin O'Brien, the very conservative editorial page columnist, went to great, if fog-bound, lengths to satirically link an ice-trapped ship in Anarctica to the myth of climate change.
In my old town, they closed the mile-long east-west Main Street in snowy weather so we kids could belly slam our sleds at the top of the hill and burst all the way down to the other end below. If we had only known about polar vortex as the source of our pleasure! But now that we've mentioned Newt Gingrich's attempt to be cool with soy latte, I wonder if the TV millennials with their weather maps will accept me as a senior observer if I mention polar vortex to them with a wind chill factor thrown in to be even cooler. Better yet, frozen.

My Fiance and I want to get out of town next weekend and go to San Diego. She's never been and I've only been there once many years ago. Our plans are to spend one day on the beach and then the next day at the zoo. Can anyone from the area offer any suggestions? I'm not sure what side of town I should be getting a hotel room, there are so many options! I think we would prefer the hotel to be close to the beach, I don't want it to be super far from the zoo but we don't mind if we have a little bit of a drive to the zoo.
