Views on Transform Milwaukee widely divergent
Transform Milwaukee is a bold initiative Gov. Scott Walker announced in the heat of the recall election on April 30, 2012. Nearly eight months later, there is a wide divergence on whether the $100 million program is showing any results.
The Walker administration provided me with a report that showed Transform Milwaukee already is running ahead of its first year goal of investing $50 million in stimulating the economy in various Milwaukee neighborhoods. On the other hand, Milwaukee city officials and neighborhood development groups told me they count less than $1 million in spending so far. They remain hopeful that the state — primarily through the Wisconsin Housing and Economic Development Authority — ultimately will come through with much more financial support for Milwaukee's older industrial zones and foreclosure-stricken residential areas.
As I report in Friday's print edition of The Business Journal, the vast difference in rating Transform Milwaukee's achievements is due to the projects listed by the Walker administration.
Milwaukee city officials and economic development groups do not view those projects as specifically the result of Transform Milwaukee. WHEDA executive director Wyman Winston told me several commercial and residential projects finance by WHEDA properly are categorized as part of Transform Milwaukee.

Today is the day of Saint Denis & Companions. I admit it was the companions that piqued my interest. I was of course immediately diverted by the legend of Saint Denis carrying his own head back into a village north of Paris following his martyrdom. The idea of a of headless body roaming the countryside had such a 'chicken' quality I needed to know more.
In the usual way of these things, the stories of several men have morphed together, been well-seasoned with fiction & mixed in a great big bowl of time. The general gist seems to be Denis founded a church, converted many with the zeal of his preaching, his success made others jealous & so he was martyred in a manner that removed his head from his body.
I admit, under ordinary circumstances I would have lost interest, but I remained intrigued by the Companions. While named right there in the day, the index does not discuss the companions at all. My mind wandered to other companions.
The first famous companion I thought of was salt-sucking creature in the original Star Trek. I discarded this as unlikely; everyone knows the salt vampyre inhabits another galaxy & besides it probably could have convinced the jealous priests/whomever to keep it around. Also, it is companions, plural. How many salt vampyres are we supposed to accept?
& so my mind wandered to other companions. Maybe they were not human & that is why they were not named. But then Saint Francis of Assisi's day (last week-end as it happens) would doubtless have included animals, too.
Or maybe they were somehow expunged. Something was undesirable about these companions. Maybe they included his wife & children. The cult of Denis dates back to before the period that the church had acquired considerable wealth. Part of how the church hung on to property was preventing priests from marrying & entailing land & goods to their descendants.
A more undesirable companion to the 21st century church might be a homosexual lover, but they have not been very thorough about removing same-sex references to other saints. Saint Aelred has been out of the closet since before closets were invented. The more widely known Saint Sebastian is considered the patron of homosexuals & has been for a very long time, whether the church put this on his letterhead or not.
Besides, the church's behavior has always been more lenient toward the homosexual priest than the priest who wants to marry a woman & raise a famiy, so it is very hard to imagine that this is the reason for the Companions anonymity.
It took a bit of digging (!) but I eventually found that the Companions are the two other men martyred with him & buried in the same grave. It was so passive, I wondered that they were included in the day at all. It seemed so small, in the grand scheme of things & so ordinary, like the ridiculous three-on-a-match superstition.
Then I remembered Henry Hector Munro & his famous last words. Just before being killed by a WWI sniper, he said "Put that damned cigarette out". & then another mind, another voice was gone.

Q & A with students from William Paterson University
A poem is a weather-tested craft,
whose worthiness is ultimately found
by how it sails the oceanic rift
between assaulting waves that never end
and utter stillness when the winds are lost,
or it's a vessel of another stripe
with holds so flooded that they nearly list
as blood is fed along its thrumming rope.
1. The metaphor in this poem is the comparison between a poem and a boat. The rhythm and flow of the poem is compared to the movement of a boat in stormy water and calm waters.
That's right—yet the poem is also carried onward toward another metaphor.
2. What made you compare a poem to "a weather-tested craft"?
I think my answer to the fourth question here gets to the heart of what you are asking, but another question of interest might be about my choice of words. There is, of course, no shortage of synonyms for boat, but this one—craft—has a meaning that directly alludes to the art of writing.
3. What did you mean by the craft uttering "stillness when the winds are lost"?
In this instance, the word "utter" is used in its adjectival sense (and not as a verb), which means complete, total, or absolute.
4. What was your inspiration for such an unusual, but fitting metaphor?
More often than not, writing is an act of discovery--which is to say that, especially at the beginning of a poem, even the poet is unsure of where things will go. In this case, I actually had a definite word in mind that I hoped would act as the volta, or the dramatic turn, of the poem: Vessel, which has both nautical and anatomical meanings. This curious pliability of language, more than anything else, inspired the poem.
5. The nautically-themed words are confusing and yet very significant. They are necessary in helping to make the poem and metaphor more effective. If they were to be excluded, there wouldn't be such an obvious connection between poetry and the boat.
I agree. And those terms continue well into the throes of the second metaphor, coloring its images from the first, with allusions to holds, listing, and ropes.
6. Why did you divide the poem into two stanzas?
This always a good question to consider when reading a poem, especially if the stanzaic paragraph continues into the next. I wanted to play with the enjambment—how the line continues onward but reads, at first, as though it ends—in illustrating the endlessness of those assaulting waves, but I also wanted to indicate honestly that a new stanza hinted to a new thought (in this case, that of the second metaphor).
7. Are the two stanzas supposed to be opposites?
No, they aren't—yet, by virtue of being separated, the reader is entirely justified in expecting that the stanzas will address discrete ideas, which they do; though, as mentioned in the answer to the fifth question, there is a certain amount of terminology held over between the first and second notions of metaphor.
8a. Significant words in his poem that seem confusing are " blood" and "thrumming." They are significant because they explain what a poem would look like if it went awry and confusing because it is hard to interpret.
8b. I don't understand the blood on the rope.
8c. What do you mean in the last stanza where you state that a poem is "a vessel of another stripe"? Are you saying that it sometimes comes in a different form other than the standard structure we are accustomed to?
One way of distilling the poem down to its proverbial brass tacks might go like this: A poem is something that can endure a lot, like a well-made boat, which should be able to handle both rough seas and a long time away from port; or, it is another kind of vessel—not a ship, but an artery—one that is nearly overwhelmed with volume and action.
9. The use of the words "assaulting" and "stillness" are significant because they represent the type of reception a poem or any form of literary work will generate.
Like the waves that usher forth from a pebble thrown into a lake, the interpretations of a literary work can be both valid and unintended by the author, as here. In Ernest Hemingway's The Old Man and the Sea, the eponymous character reels in a marlin, only to have it savaged by sharks; the work has been interpreted as the way the writer felt about how his novels were treated by critics. That Hemingway might not have intended this is really beside the point.
10. What do the last two lines signify?
On a literal level, a blood vessel near the heart is hard at work—but this meaning is muddied, as the metaphor for poetry, the boat, has now become the metaphor for the artery (which explains the continued use of the nautical terms, cf. question 7); on another level, poetry itself is both the container and the vehicle by which the stuff of life is carried to its end.
11. Why did you choose this title?
Its generality appealed to me, which contrasts nicely with the specificity of the poem itself. I also like how it plays, as a red herring, with the notion that just one metaphor yet will be spoken of—which allows greater impact of the volta when it does arrive. (I also was bemused by the fact that one metaphor [in this poem about a poem] has its language and trappings coopted for that of another; this is "meta" indeed.)
12. How did you come up with the right words to use?
Like all writers, I revise quite a bit. I read the lines aloud, thumb through my dictionary, and annotate the stress patterns of the lines. I cross stuff out; I scribble stuff: Some parts come easier than others. This poem took about an hour to write (and another to revise), which, for me, is very fast. (I also translate poetry from German and can easily spend a week or longer on just fourteen lines.) Poetry, I've come to think, tastes best when slowly cooked.
13. Is this poem written in iambic pentameter?
Yes, it is. An iamb, of course, is a poetic unit composed of two syllables—one unstressed and one stressed (like the word "about" or the words "a boat"); if you string five of them together (for a total of ten syllables) you'll have a line of meter of five iambs (ergo, iambic pentameter). The poem has cross rhymes (abab cdcd) that are slanted, which means that the consonants are the same but the vowels are not. This kind of rhyme is effective at creating a strong rhythm that is coyly musical—not unlike, perhaps, that of waves against the hull or the steadiness of a healthy pulse.
A metaphor is a symbolic (and often revelatory) comparison between disparate things—as in, "The pizza's steaming toppings, it seemed to him, from its mozzarella pools of lava to its meteor-stricken craters of pepperoni, were the very surface of our newly-cooling and still young Earth, a billion years after its violent rendering from the Sun."
Writers distinguish comparisons that are made directly (called metaphors), as in the example above, to those that employ the words "as" and "like" (called analogies), which mute the impact of the figurative expression by saying how a given things seems to be—as in, "The pie was hot as hell." or "That first bite melted the roof of his mouth like a white-hot coal." The language of poetry is friendly territory for both metaphors and analogies, as the very artifice of the form itself (as opposed to the naturalness of prose, which better mimics our everyday speech) seems to foster our acceptance of creative comparisons.
In writing "Metaphor," I sought to define poetry itself through the use of this age-old rhetorical device. At first glance, this short poem smacks of prose or free verse—but a closer look reveals a design meant to deliver on the promise of its title. What tethers these two different metaphors of poetry—one as a boat, the other as an artery—is a polysemous word that doesn't occur until the piece is three-quarters done: Vessel. (Polysemy, or multiple meanings of a word, can be subtly effective: Consider, for example, how the word blue can might color a line of verse hinting toward either the sad or risqué.)
Like those "assaulting waves that never end," the rhythm of these lines is unwavering in its monotony and steadfastness. To achieve this effect, its lines are penned in iambic pentameter, with the poem split into two quatrains, hinting both at the infinite sea and presence of a second part to the metaphor. The poem's lyric sense—its song-like effect—is enhanced by the momentum of its Shakespearean prosody and ends in crossed, slant rhymes that cloak the melodic hardware. A bittersweet feeling courses through the half-pleasure born by these half-rhymes. It's a mood that seems fitting to this octave of memento mori.

It's strange how I may not end up packing enough regular clothes but always have an extra running tee when out of town. Mumbai called this weekend and I had an unexpected trip to the place I called home for many years. The city makes me nostalgic but not enough to want to move back here. I suppose all big metropolises are like that.
Yesterday's run was a difficult 7k , typical first run in the city after being away from the humidity for so long. Today was a decent 5k at not much of an effort. The roads are a challenge though, uneven surfaces, many intersections and heavy traffic. It was nice to run along the sea, through the village and onto Carter road and back to Bandstand. So much has changed and so much still remains the same. A little like people.
Back to the running, it feels good to be out on the road.

being happy isn't a dream for me like it used to be. i can find happiness in simple pleasures.
a buzz, getting my foot stuck in just the most comfortable spot on the couch, realizing i had a pint of ice cream i totally forgot to eat cuz i got high that night i bought it.
i get high every night.
did you know it's my birthday coming up (JUNE 7TH MARK YOUR CALENDARS!!!) and i'm gonna be 25, and i feel like i know a secret i shouldn't.
like being this young, and knowing how to be this happy is cheating the system.
i have my mom to thank. she's incredible, and taught me so much... but mostly she taught me how to be a man. way more than my dad ever did.
all pops ever showed me was how to screw people over. but then again... i guess that is man-ly enuff, and usefull to know. so whatever.
see that smile i'm rockin in that picture? man that shit can't be faked. and why am i so happy?? i'm glad you asked.
firstly it's NOT cuz i'm a lazy stoner with no ambition. wich might sound like a blatant lie, cuz i AM a stoner and yes... extemely lazy. but by no means am i happy because i simply have aimed so low...
i am happy because i live for every second i have. i do what i want so much more often than what i have to do, it's fucking ridiculous. and i answer to noone but me, and i rubber stamp everything "a-ok".
top that.

Weekend Learning: Exadata Energy Storage Module approaching end-of-life
I talk quite a bit about being on Exadata, but I rarely get to deal directly the hardware or architecture so the article ""Energy Storage Module Is Approaching End-of-life" error message via ASR or remote monitoring" found in My Oracle Support note 1583496.1 led me to learn something about Exadata. The Energy Storage Module associated with the flash cards is actually designed to be replaced after several years, depending on which type of Exadata machine you have, but this note shares the fact that it can be misreported as needing replacement. If you don't know how to check this, visit the note and try it out for yourself!

EA & Activision Dismiss NPD Data
EA & Activision Dismiss NPD Data
Because NPD isn't providing monthly evaluations of digital sales, some of the biggest players in the videogame industry are publicly dismissing the group's monthly reports.
Last Friday, NPD reported that videogame sales were down eight percent in February. As a result, CNN is reporting that publishers Electronic Arts and Activision have stated that NPD's reports are misleading and "potentially irrelevant." Essentially, publishers have a problem with NPD because it doesn't track sales in digital marketplaces like the PlayStation Network and Xbox Live.
"Using NPD data for video game sales is like measuring music sales and ignoring something called iTunes," said EA's Tiffany Steckler. "We see NPD's data as a misrepresentation of the entire industry."
Meanwhile, Anitz Frazier (an NPD analyst) explained NPD does release a report that focuses on digital sales, though it only comes out once a quarter: "This is in addition to what we are best known for and that is our monthly reporting of new physical sales occuring at retail."
Members of the industry dismissing NPD's information isn't all that uncommon. When sales are good, companies will often mention how popular a game is in future advertising, while the data is often publicly ignored if it isn't what a publisher wants to hear.
Unsurprisingly, Michael Pachter weighed in on the issue, saying it was a "gross overstatement" to totally dismiss NPD's information because physical sales are still a huge part of the industry: "EA saying physical game sales don't matter is like Best Buy saying television sales don't matter."
In this case, it's hard not to agree with the publishers. Digital sales (not to mention online subscriptions for games like World of Warcraft) are certainly a major part of today's videogame marketplace. Case in point: Electronic Arts' digital sales reported that it expects its yearly digital revenues to climb to a to a total of $750 million by March 31st. From the sound of things, it seems like NPD is going to have to change its reporting methods if it wants to continue being taken seriously.
I'd like to see Best Buy stay in business only selling televisions.
Pot. Kettle. Ethnic.
How many of EA/Activision's press releases have been "misleading/potentially irrelevant."
"Taking the fun out of games" or "Your Mother wouldn't like this game"?
(PS: Thank god that didn't rattle out 5 times)
I don't think EA and Activision are saying ONLY digital sales should count. Retail and Digital sales are both large parts of the industry, especially on PC, so ignoring either is stupid. Both should be accounted for.
Exactly that's what they are saying. While there is a quarterly report on digital sales, EA/Activision don't think it is enough anymore as the digital market is steadily growing and not to be underestimated as it can skew the data severely.
sidenote: the abbreviation "NPD" is used for a german neonazi party as well. confusion...
It's also a personality disorder.
It's hard to agree with the big publishers, but they're hard on this one. If taking music sales into account without counting iTunes is bad, imagine when you're talking about a demographic that is, by definition, more tech-savvy.
Which many are suggesting should be removed for DSM-V.
OT: I know Kotick and his counterparts at EA REALLY want that point about iTunes to be valid, but it isn't just yet.
Physical distribution still constitutes the majority of games sales when you're talking about total revenue. Such is not the case with music sales. NPD is much less useful than it used to be for financial analysis, but it's still information worth having, especially considering the fact that they already do offer quarterly information on digital distribution.
This is just a smokescreen designed to convince people that all is well. It took a while for the recession to reach the gaming industry. Now that recovery has started, it'll take a while for that to reach gaming, too. Of course they can't admit that. Their job is to convince their investors that their company is kicking ass and taking names, whether that's actually happening or not.
I've always wondered what it stood for. When I think of NP and videogames, I think of Nintendo Power, but somehow I don't think NPD is related to Nintendo.
OT: It would be nice to see an agency put out more regular reports on digital distribution, looking at all of the major outlets, including smaller but still relevant services like Impulse, Direct 2 Drive, and Gamer's Gate. It would finally put the question of whether PC gaming is dying or not to rest -- how many times has the discussion come up, and things looked really bad for the PC, until somebody pointed out that DD isn't included in the data they're looking at, which makes the whole thing an exercise in futility?
I can't believe I'm saying this, but I agree with EA and Activision here.
I really hate this industry's tendency to act like a fucking child whenever bad news comes out. How many times in the last year did someone in the industry flip out because a reporter told them something they did not want to hear.
Epic Mickey Sucks: "Well that's because you do not understand the controls."
Starcraft II in unfinished because you can only play Terrans in single player: "Well, the game is complete in multiplayer and you can play them."
CoD, MoH and Halo are the same games released last year: "Maybe our fans want familiarity in their gaming experiences."
Hell, I give Square a lot more credit than most. At least they were willing to admit that they released a buggy unplayable game in Final Fantasy 14 with too much bullshit.
He's right, because my downloadable TV has never been as good as the one I bought off the shelf. My downloadable record player though...
But how you get this numbers?! Sleeping with Gabe Newell?
Translation: "LA LA LA LA CAN'T HEAR YOU!"
Retail stores would rather not sell software and video games because it often costs them money instead of gaining profit. The only reason they sell them in the first place is because it brings in potential customers. They make a huge profit off TVs and gaming accessories. 25-50% of the price is mark up
Read the article again. You really aren't picking up what I'm laying down.
Or, and I'm just spitballin' here, we could take it as it has been advertised: Retail.
Nielsen's TV ratings haven't become irrelevant due to DVD sales or iTunes. Nor has their measurement of CD/"record" sales. They have expanded, but Nielsen hardly has felt the need to integrate such things directly into their TV ratings index.
Don't take me as defending NPD. They have problems, including exclusions that could potentially skew results within retail. But it's kind of silly to point out that they're not counting digital downloads in reports with no DD context.
And since they've been tracking online data for 2-3 years now, it might be a little pointless to say they have to get with the times.
National Purchase Diary is the original name. Far as I know, it's now just "NPD" Because the original term is no longer contemporary.
Kind of like when Kentucky Fried Chicken tried to disassociate itself from the word "fried" and went to KFC instead.
Holy shit the devil and his son got something right for a change.
I remember when they said Black ops out sold Warcraft, star craft, and everything else.
They aren't irrelevant, they simply aren't all inclusive. The only thing left to track them if no one listens to NPD, is for them to report their own sales. It's still a very useful number for interested parties, even if it's not completely. It's like Gross Domestic Product (GDP), it's lousy to determine the actual state of economics in a place, but it has it's actual uses still.
Long story short, an 8% drop in sales could have stock consequences, so they want to report their own sales to everyone so they can make their stock look more attractive.
Edit: It exists as an outside party to track statistics. The companies have every reason to skew sales in their favor. NPD, as an independent third party, only has in interest in putting out accurate reports. Who do you think you can trust?
Awful lot of analogies going on between the publishers and the NPD rep. That's like saying analogies are the only way these people can communicate!
... sorry.
On topic, I don't really have any information on this event, since I don't follow corporate sales reports. I think everyone should say what they mean instead of needing similes and analogies to do their jobs for them.
Speaking strictly as a gamer, I've never put too much weight on NPD. If I like a game, sales figures probably little do with it. SaGa Frontier was a financial flop and didn't even sell a million copies. But I still love this little unappreciated gem of a game.
It seems silly to me to publish one set of numbers on a monthly basis and the other on a quarterly basis. If you really want to do this then the monthly numbers should either be released as raw data (with analysis kept to the more thoroughly quarterly reports) or they should make sure that they keep any conclusions they draw firmly within the context of the data. To suggest that sales are slipping when you are ignoring and important segment of the sales doesn't make sense, instead say that the sales of physical games are slipping and perhaps add that information on digital sales will be available in April (or whenever).
Who is the devil and who is the son? O_o. Is the son the lesser evil. . . Or the risktaking of the two. Or is it the youngest?
OT: Digital sales change a lot from month to month aswell. A quarter is not nearly enough to account for the changes, and if they only take retail sales its gonna be misleading and can be incorrect.
The real problem with the NPD is that it only covers North America (I think). That's missing a HUGE market.
Nielsen actually adapted to the change in technology by also including dvr in their ratings reports for tv. This is what npd should be doing as otherwise it's not a complete picture and ultimately worthless.
what is it so hard for the NPD to just make the digital portion monthly as well instead of quarterly? o.O
They just need to charge more money for the reports :P its not like the companies that get them can't afford a mild price hike.
No idea. But father like son they are both as evil.
Anyway NPD is missing loads of data.
It's not analogous. iTunes is equivalent to digital sales and video, not DVR. At best, you could argue a similarlity to adding e-tailers, which NPD has done.
Nor is it completely worthless, because retail figures are there for retail purposes. I know most people use NPD as material for fanboy "size" fights and the like, but there is actually quite a bit of use in tracking retail sales.
You know, for the people the NPD numbers are intended for.
In the end, it's all silly. "It's unfair you print the numbers we use as context to both measure success and justify terminations in a fashion that may not currently benefit us!"
It also has the problem that it alters the way things are reported and relies more on self-reporting. But let's deal with one issue at a time.
This is just gold. I love the fallacy of comparing video games to music, as if the two are even remotely comparable.
What Miss Steckler here seems to be missing (or, more likely, is intentionally hiding) is that, unlike the music industry, the video game industry makes the lion's share of its profits through retail. So if retail sales are down, chances are that digital sales are not going to be able to compensate for that negative trend.
If these figures were positive, EA and Activision wouldn't be complaining. The fact that they are means that they are just trying to conceal the fact that the industry is not doing well.
And I loathe the fallacy that videogames are somehow completely different from music and movies for -- well, no reason really. The higher cost compared to music doesn't somehow make it a completely different class of product, nor does the lack of additional revenue sources like theatrical releases or live concerts make them incomparable. Afterall, the Honda Civic is just as much a car as the Lambourgini Murcielago, despite the ridiculous cost gap between the two, and a coupe is still just as much a car as a sedan is, despite the fact that the coupe lacks the potential revenue source of being sold to a taxi company.
Edit: Also, you have a very console centric view point. DD is at least as big as retail with PC games.
So is working for EA.
Some prefer being called Appliance-Americans.
Dear Mike Thompson,
If you want to be a better writer, explain the subject of your article before you expound upon it. It's not that I can't Google whatever NPD is, but it's just common courtesy for a writer to explain the subject of an article in the outset of said article. Assuming every reader will be a subject matter expert already is a bit presumptuous.


text: Fire Service Commission decides on back-payments The Fire Service Commission has declared it will honour the commitment it gave to the Court of Appeal and not seek retrospective fire levy payments. The assurance comes just over two weeks after the Supreme Court made its ruling in favour of the Commission. The nervous wait had prompted speculation around the legal standing of that commitment, which had been given at the Court of Appeal hearing, and also on the implications for the industry if the Commission had decided to back pedal. Now Commission chair Wyatt Creech has put the matter to rest, saying the Fire Service had given an undertaking during the course of court proceedings not to seek retrospective payment of levies, and it would honour that commitment to the Court. "We are pleased that a disputed area of the law has been clarified, and we will now assess all policies entered into after 13 May, or extended from that date, in light of the judgment," Creech said. However, he had a stark warning for anyone involved in future levy shortcuts. "The Commission will act vigorously against parties that engage in levy avoidance. It is unfair on those who pay their fair share." Creech said the Commission intended to carefully consider the judgment and then publish guidance material for the insurance industry clarifying how levies should be calculated to comply with the law in the wake of the Supreme Court decision. Barrister Steve Keall endorsed the decision. He told Insurance Business: "In doing what it said it would do – refraining from seeking retrospective levy payments- the Fire Service Commission has avoided another potentially difficult argument about its legal entitlement to collect levy in this way given the indications made during the Court hearings. I think this was as much a political decision as a legal one. Hopefully time and energy can now be applied to much needed law reform in this area." Meanwhile, the Insurance Brokers Association of New Zealand (IBANZ) has also welcomed the announcement. IBANZ CEO Gary Young said it was "a positive step towards ensuring all stakeholders involved in the collection of fire service levies can move forward with certainty on what is required." Brokers might be glad to have clarity on this but they are not happy about the Fire Services Review, released on Wednesday. Read more: Brokers urged to rate the review. Leave a comment SHARE

The Genascis
One evening we got to baby-sit Madison & Justin Genasci.
Justin ran the tractors, while Clayton fixed fence and Madison helped out wherever she could!
They even followed each other around the house. Justin didn't want Clayton to feel left out, so he got down on the floor and crawled with him!
Wow - these kids are growing up so fast!

Geranios y tulipanes and other stories of real life magical realism
no thoughts today... just words:
I am alive, I am happy, I am well fed, I am "en victoria, aleluja..."
I am nineteen.
One year away from "ya no adolescente... PURA adulta." amen.
I have good news and I have bad news.
The good news is that i have lots of lovely pictures taken in stunning lighting. (I love peru via digital cameras. copious amounts of gratitude for the generousity of Hermano Steven Holmes. gracias gracias, a million times gracias. my girls (vain little things) send their "gracias"es as well.)
The bad news is that they´re coming out really dark on the compu and i fear they can´t be seen.
carambas, i must "thought."
thought one: of magical realism
there´s this trend/style thingee in postmodern literature, namely that of the latin american variety, called "magical realism." basically, the author mixes realistic fiction (or autobiography) with way far out supernatural stuff or jumps in time and place. weird. it´s an interesting idea, but from the little i´ve read, the "latin american" authorship usually secures that the actual content is way too vulgar for my little monja soul.
so that was almost irrelevent. the relevant part is this:
now i understand why latin american writers right that stuff. (the magical realism part, not the vulgarity.) it´s cause they blinkin´live it! seriously. there is the oddest mix of reality and super-reality here that´s just... interesting.
so i could say, "superstition," or i could say "ignorance" or whatever, but the fact is that for them, there are NON natural happenings in real life, and they have to try to put that into words.
example: "Such-and-such a sister was walking along, the only one converted in her family, alone in the cold, feeling like maybe she shouldn´t be going to preach that night. She heard steps behind her, and when she turned to look, she saw a joven (young man) about 23 years of age.
´Buenas noches´ she says... ´Buenas noches,´ he replies. ´Where are you going?´
´Ah... up a ways to preach in La Punta.´ she says.
´Good... it´s good that you are going to share the Word with the Church. Don´t be discouraged, keep on preaching what is true... God sees your work, it is not in vain.´
She looks back at him in surprise, but no one is there."
example two:
"One day, Hermana So-and-so came into church during prayer, bringing a cup of water for the pastor or something. Everyone else was praying, but she looks and sees this white haze around the pastor´s head as he prayed up front.
´Queeee?´ (Whaaaat?) she thinks
She steps back outside to see if there´s a fire or something. The night is clear and dark; there is no fog.
She looks back inside, rubbing her eyes. Still the cloud remains. She takes the water to the front, then takes her seat and begins to pray. When she opens her eyes, the cloud is gone."
So here I am, American as all get out, being related these events over breakfast or lunch or coffee. I usually say "mmmmm?" and am postmodern enough (!poder!) to suspend all judgment. What do i know? I wasn´t there. They were. They have their reasons to make such claims. They are not crazy. They have no reason to lie.
example three:
"One day, my father was sleeping and he heard Cristal, the dog that never barks, barking with all his strength. He ran outside and there was nothing.
´Someone´s going to die,´ my mother said.
The next day, Tio Raul down the road drank IncaKola after working in the field all morning and his heart exploded. My mother says that it was his soul walking around that woke up Cristal the night before.
Sister, do you believe people´s souls walk around before they die?" Calín asks me, with serious big brown eyes in a serious little brown face.
"Well Calin, I´ve never seen them..."

Had coffee with some writer friends this morning and it was good. Meeting regularly with other writers is an essential part of a writer's life. At least it is for this writer. Writing as we all know is usually a solitary occupation. For most it works best this way. But writing is not just about writing. There are times when we need to let our mind dwell, percolate, create, collect or rest. There are other times when what a writer needs most is the ear and collective brain power of other writers. It might be to discuss ideas or difficulties. To share strategy or industry news. It might be just to talk a load of absolute rubbish or have a jolly good moan about things or people or characters that are lost, misbehaving or just ticking you off. Maybe one writer has just had a fit of baking and has more chocolate product than he or she knows what to do with (okay thats probably just me).
In amongst a whole host of other topics, this morning we talked about the idea of a writer's collective. An idea like this one in New York (-sigh-) where there is a quiet place to write away from the hubbub of home and domestic distractions. A place where you can find people dealing with the same issues and with whom you can take time out to talk about writing. A place where you can hone skills and learn more through workshops and author talks, classes and just the chance to hash things out with like-minded individuals. For a yearly flat fee you can sign up to become part of a writers community and share the facilities and resources. I felt very excited by the idea that Jill Marshall raised. Would you be interested?

It would be worth a trip to New York just to check this out- what a great idea and space! There is nothng like going to a specific destination to do a specific thing (studio to paint, writer's loft to write)and get out of the house which as we all know is a place to creatively procrastinate! Cold over now, back at work...thanks for your sympathies!

The writers' collective idea sounds wonderful. I think I'd love to be part of something like that if I was a bit nearer. And the NY one - well, gosh! :-)

I've been thinking about my grandpa a lot lately. Writing the short story, COAL DUST ON MY FEET, I dug deep into the crevices of my memory and tunneled through pages of old picture albums Daddy and Mama kept all these years. The truth is -- my grandparents, the miners of West Virginia and their children, didn't romanticize their lives. They lived them and survived the best they could. The outside world didn't exist much past an occasional radio program or newspaper article. Time stood still in the hollers and mountains around Clay County … life for Troy Jennings King consisted of a wife, five children, and a job … mining coal for the Elk River Coal and Lumber Company.
COAL DUST ON MY FEET is a very real story … in some ways. The strike did happen. The violence in 1952 and for the next year is legendary and men who were killed and maimed live on in the memories of their families to this day. Families were torn apart, cousin against cousin, father against son—and the union, though it failed to break the back of the company by the time the strike ended, changed things. Eventually … the company closed its doors. The coal camp or town of Widen, West Virginia folded up except for the post office and a few that refused to leave.
This place is real to me. I felt it simmer in my bones when I walked the dirt roads that exist in the area today. My story burns in my heart and struggles to free itself on the page. Although the story is fiction … it's alive to me. It's a love story in the town my family lived in for many years. A story of the supernatural and the women who brought it about.
I remember my grandpa clearly in my mind. I can still hear his voice the day he helped Daddy build a room on the back of our house. He sat on a milk crate, drug hard on his cigarette, and then pointed at Daddy. "Now Darrel," he'd say, "make sure you cut that board long enough and use a 2 by 4, hear me?" I miss him all these years later. He was permanently bent over at the waist, walked with his hands held together behind his back. But he loved us. Always had a hug ready for me. The coalmines warped him. And they killed him eventually. Lung cancer, black lung or otherwise took his life in 1979.
I was born a coal miner's granddaughter, and that is the catalyst that inspired the story, COAL DUST ON MY FEET.
Blessings to you and yours.

Color Study
When I had my colors sorted I did a quick color swish to see if the combos still worked. I really like this combo. The colors are all water soluble oils by Cobra. I wrote the color names above on the left

Red Earth
I am preparing for the studio tour on September 13th and hanging some of my larger canvases. The inspiration for this came from travels to the red canyons with the great colors, crevices and surprises around each corner.

Gallery wrapped canvas.
We had come back from a glorious holiday with phenomenal scenery. Then we take our special pooch for a walk early in the morning and the light coming through the trees caught my eye. So you can see which scene I painted.

I am back. We've been galavanting around the country and collecting ideas and images. I did this painting shortly after returning from one of those ventures.
Now I am getting ready for a studio tour September 13th 10am to 5pm.

This is another in my tree series. These trees have their own personality and history. Lots of stories to tell. Maybe I should do one that reflects the elders.

My last post was of this painting. As I watched it in different light it appeared too dark for me so out came the palette knives and more texture and colour was added. I like this better.
There is more variety in the values in this one.

Strata Wall
This was a challenge. I do believe I painted it 4 times. It started out mostly black and white with blue grey sky and grey ground. My sensibilities just couldn't live with that so each day more and more color appeared. Then when I had the house to myself (who knows why that made a difference) I decided to get out the palette knives, put out a full slate of colors and away I went. The walls stayed the same but everything else livened up. The trees in the painting are not as purple as they appear here.
Happy Painting.

Yeah! Spring is here. The light is different and life is appearing everywhere. Isn't it wonderful.
The colors in this painting are actually richer than they appear but when I take the photo in the sun it washes some of the color away. I will try for a better photo later

This is a richly colorful oil painting with thick palette knife paint. Painted on the sides so that it can be hung without a frame.

This is painted with bold color and thick palette knife work. I am loving my palette knife. I am thinking I may tackle a few large flowers again with my palette knives. Now that its warming up outside I can open up the windows.
I have learned that the water soluble oils definitely dry faster so I can go back in and do some glazing in fairly short order. It is interesting to experiment.

Back to my oils for a short time as I will be travelling again soon. Going to California to what I call a mentorship program. No instruction. Guidance leadership and phenomenal focus. Last year I came back and did a whole body of work as a result. It's quite an interesting concept because we pay a lot of money to go. We work on our own. No talking allowed unless you leave the room. Everyone is working on something totally different and by the end of 5 days you can see the change in peoples work.
Maybe we work harder there than we actually do at home because we have to go to work or cook or do the laundry and get interrupted. Here, there is a Trader Joes across the street. I go and get my food and either paint or go to my hotel room. Pretty anti social. Really.
The result of last years program was being published in a book and soon in an American Art Magazine so I would say there is benefit.

It may appear as though they are two separate images but the top one is the cropped version of the bottom. I am playing with color and think I may have too much color in the original and a better balance in the cropped version. The thing with paper is you can cut it to meet your requirements. Of course I could crop even further and have a totally abstract image.
The sun is shining beautifully here today so I thought this was appropriate.

Still asking to myself why people keep asking me for advices about their relationships.
I can't even handle my own live. But, friends is for any moment, time, topic and patience, so I always try to listen to them and help someway.
My friend called me this afternoon, because the guy she met two weeks ago wants something serious. "Just go for it". I adviced her. She is afraid of falling in love with him and he leave her later. "Well, you need to have a try.
This evening, other friend invited me to go to a house party, it was in a guy's house who she has a crush on. When we arrrived there, he had invited another girl and was cleary he wasn't interested in my friend. "He won't date you, he is flirting with her". I said straight away, and I regreted later, of course.
Why life has to be like that? John loves Maria, Maria loves Pedro, Pedro loves Joana, Joana loves José, who doesn't love anyone.
If you have somebody who you love and you are loved by this person. Well, you are more then luck.
Take care of him/her very well.

100% !!!!!!!!!!
I just finished my 4th Human Anatomy test, and I was able to answer all the questions correctly! It helped that we only had 2 chapters to cover this week! The first three tests covered too much information. Week one was 4 chapters. On that test I got 48 correct, out of 51. The 2nd week covered eight chapters. It was quite difficult to find all the answers, let alone remember everything! That time I got 43 out of 50 correct. Most of the questions were about muscles. After 2 1/2 hours of searching for specific muscles, I started to go cross-eyed. The 3rd week was 5 chapters (the nervous system), and on the test I scored 48 out of 52 correctly. Some of the chapters are really long. Next week is the cardiovascular system, which is 3 chapters long. I read some of the first chapter (blood) a few weeks ago, so it shouldn't be too horrible. FUN FUN!

With the huge amount of networked video cameras installed everywhere nowadays, such as the statically deployed surveillance cameras or the constantly moving cameras on the vehicles or drones, there is an urgent need of systematic exploration of the dynamic environment based on the collected big visual data. In this talk, I will first present an automated and robust human tracking within a camera through self-calibration of static and moving cameras. These cameras are also continuously learning the temporal and color/texture appearance characteristics among one another in a fully unsupervised manner so that the objecttracking across multiple cameras can be effectively integrated and reconstructed via the 3D open map service.
