Trying to Kill the Beast
"Writing a book is an adventure. To begin with it is a toy and an amusement. Then it becomes a mistress, then it becomes a master, then it becomes a tyrant. The last phase is that just as you are about to be reconciled to your servitude, you kill the monster and fling him to the public."
– Winston Churchill
Back in January I was in "Let's go!" mode.
New year, new goals—ready and willing to knock out some of the many plotlines that have been brewing in my brain awhile.
I'm coming out of my dungeon (closet-office) early one morning after another unsuccessful night of trying to tackle the beast of a story I started almost 3 years ago.
It's crystal clear in my head, and it should just flow onto the pages like water over a fall.
Instead, it's moving in a manner more akin to sucking tar through a skinny straw. I've got the bulging forehead vein to prove it. Anyhow, out of my dungeon and into the flames with "the Mister" who takes one look at me and says, "Don't you look crappy."
Well, nobody wants their (arguable) better half telling them that, no matter how spot on it is at 4 A.M. and she's just realized that what she's been writing doesn't seem to make much sense anymore. I grumbled something back so incoherent I don't even remember what it was, but I'm sure it suitably conveyed my immense love for him at that particular time.
Even had a special hand gesture to accompany it. After a couple hours of sleep I felt ready to take on the beast again. Into the batcave I go. And again, at some ungodly hour I emerged defeated, only to find him frowning at me.
"What?" Yes, I barked it.
"That face."
So I turn to the mirror to see what "face" I'm making.
"What's wrong with my face?"
As it happens I've grown rather attached to my face and I like it just fine, thank you very much.
That murderous grimace is hot."
"I've been trying to kill someone, so I guess the 'face' isn't working." The slight shift away from me did not go unnoticed.
"So, what's the matter?"
What's the matter? What isn't the matter? This was a good five minutes of me ranting about the struggles of a...er...struggling writer, and him interjecting "uh huh" far too calmly to have actually been listening.
To save you the ramble it ended with my declaration of, "It's starting to piss me off!" What can I say? I don't like to be pissed off.
"Damn,"—another shift away— "But I thought you loved writing."
"I do!" See, proof he wasn't listening. I knew it. File it away, Sable; argue it later.
"So, if it makes you feel that bad, what are you doing it for?" Well played, Mister reverse-psychology on the sleep-deprived girlfriend in a creative funk. Well played.
According to Churchill, this particular writing adventure of mine is hovering in the ether between "master" and "tyrant". And it's driving me crazy because I'm a free spirit that doesn't tolerate well the roles of either.
But that encounter with my unlicensed shrink back in January had me reevaluating some things. Why am I doing this; willingly subscribing to this particular brand of insanity? I've got a few reasons.
For starters, it's great to be the puppet-master, isn't it? Even though it's frustrating when the strings knot or break altogether and you've got to start again, it's a lot of fun to drop your characters someplace, toss in a bomb and seeing if they make it out before everything goes Kablooey! *Bwahahahahaha*
Next, there's the matter of writing my favorite words: The End. It's satisfying, right? To know you worked through the kinks and overthrew the tyrannical establishment that your words had become. "Rage! Rage against the dying of the light!"
And then with a mighty heave you fling it across the Web to the public, which begins a different sort of servitude with the marketing and promoting but that's a blog for another day.
My finally reason is the unmatched zing of anticipation that courses through my veins when I start the process all over again and type Chapter 1.
I know I'm about to go back into the belly of the beast and I think I've got it figured out this time. I've jotted down notes, I've got an outline, I'm all set to play with my new toy. I can only hope that I'm better prepared for the monster it will turn into.
Since that day in January I've inked roughly five new pages of the story that is the impetus for this post. (I didn't write much in February, but again, another issue). I'm way beyond the toy stage and far away from killing the monster. I'm hovering.
But I remembered why I started doing this in the first place, and that's taken some of the stress out of it (and the "murderous grimace"). One of these days I'll have this creature vanquished. 4a.m. will roll around and, hands raised high, I'll scream, "I emerge VICTORIOUS!" loud enough to wake Mr. J.
A few days'll pass and I'll go back into the cave. I'll sit down to a blank page and write Chapter 1, and the madness will begin again. Let's go.
So, I want to know, what are you doing it for?

I have 2005 acer laptop that wont recognize mouse keyboard usb connections or any buttons on my laptop. This has been about 2 yrs since it worked properly. I used to be able to unplug it and wait for the low battery warning and then it all worked fine. now, nothing I get no battery warning anymore, it just shuts down. How can I get my old files transfered to my new laptop?
I don't know why your laptop is working bad, but a 5 year old laptop is pretty old for laptops. However, I can tell you how to get your data off the HD.
Pull the HD out of the laptop, and find out if it's IDE or SATA (5 years old it may be either). Then go to your local computer shop and ask them for an adapter to be able to connect the type of drive you have to a USB port. Then you'll be able to plug the drive into another PC and copy all the data off.
Awesome! I had no idea that there was even an option that simple! Thank you so much

I'm not against change…I do change related work for a living. But I feel every associated little seismic shift I think, more so than others. Whether the change or loss is necessary (thank you Judith Viorst) or not, it's gonna be palpable in Maxminimus land. Shit, who am I kidding? I feel everything deeply. The photo above is the now empty building that used to house The Pottery Barn. I'm glad they went kaput…serves them right. Why such animosity ADG?
Well you see there was a time when that building housed Larry McMurtry's shop of rare books…Booked Up. When I first moved to DC in 1989 there was a remnant of it on the back side of that building, then run by folks other than McMurtry himself…but still…a repository of old and rare books none the less. But then came, even before Pottery Barn, that expensive ass…absurdly so…gardening kit store and that was the end of old and rare books at 31st and M.
Georgetown is becoming as homogenized as the I-20 spur in Florence South Carolina. And the latest victim is Bartleby's books.
Bartleby's wasn't (their final day was last Saturday—they'll be selling online from now on) your typical used/discount bookstore. Bargains were there to be had—for sure. But Bartleby's had higher end stuff and vetted eclectica that won't now be found in a bricks and mortar locale, at least here in my patch.
The sporting books were enviable and expensive.
I passed on Elliott's Carolina Sports by Land and Water. It was priced, I'm sure appropriately at around $1,300.00.
The South Carolina section would have been the envy of even a Charleston based book dealer.
My people settled in the Pee Dee area well over two hundred years ago.
It was fun to see some familiar names in the acknowledgments. James Rogers was still the Editor of The Florence Morning News twenty-five years after the publication of Pee Dee Panorama. I know because I used to deliver his Florence Morning News to his home…at about six every morning. He was very much the archetypical, genteel, small town newspaperman. He called me by my nickname from the time I can remember. He was still buying navy blue suits from me at the hometown Trad haberdashery after he became Editor Emeritus.
So we leave the Pee Dee area and drop in on Gerry Mulligan. I'm going to do a separate post on one of the unique little discoveries in this Mulligan tome.
I generally don't pursue fine bindings or rare books so valuable that one is reluctant to handle them. I like my library utilitarian and my books full-contact. I already had a Tour of Dr. Syntax illustrated by Thomas Rowlandson but the gift-binding on this one intrigued me.
So I gifted myself this little first edition version. Published in 1855 and signed I suppose, by the owner in 1857.
Knickerbocker Nuggets…how could I not buy this little fella…partial leather binding…and full of anecdotes about Whist…the popular 19th century card game. The Nuggets series began in the late 1880's and remained in print, I think, through 1900.
The Prince of Wales, later Edward VII and his minions played Whist incessantly at The Marlborough Club. Here's the caricature of one Whist playing William Amherst, 3rd Earl Amherst, by Carlo Pellegrini … "Ape" of Vanity Fair fame.
I could give two hoots and a damn about Whist but the piccolo book intrigued me and at eight bucks, why not?
So long Bartleby's. At least we can look in on you by way of your website. But like my buddy Tim said, "You can't smell the Internet."

Oh it's too fun. Out of all the Olympic athletes, three of the top are from Meyers, a small neighborhood community next to South Lake Tahoe. It is considered South Lake Tahoe with the same zip code (that's how small we are).
To celebrate their victorious homecoming, the community of South Lake Tahoe is holding a procession leading to a party at Sierra-at-Tahoe. Starting at the South Lake Tahoe High School, going along Highway 50 through Meyers, up the summit to Sierra at Tahoe. The South Lake Tahoe Marching Band will be performing in addition to the South Lake Tahoe Choir. At the party at Sierra, there will be autograph signings, live music, prizes and a raffle.
So come on out and show your support for Jamie Anderson, who won gold for snowboarding slopestyle and Maddie Bowman who won gold for freeskiing halfpipe. Hannah Teter, a gold medal winner from 2006 and a silver medal winner from 2010 will be part of the celebration.
These three Olympians not only brought home gold, they put Meyers on the map for having the most gold medals per capita. Granted, the ski and snowboard culture is really big in South Lake Tahoe, but who would have thought we'd be a model for per capita Olympic medals?

Haim (band)

|Background information

|Years active
Haim (/ˈhaɪɪm/ HY-im,[1][a] stylized in all caps) is an American pop rock band from Los Angeles. The band consists of three sisters: Este Haim (bass guitar and vocals), Danielle Haim (vocals and guitar) and Alana Haim (guitars, keyboards, and vocals). In addition to their primary instruments, each member is also proficient in several others. The group's pop sound on their studio work stands in contrast to the more rock-based music of their live shows.
The sisters grew up in a musical family, and began playing instruments from an early age in the cover band Rockinhaim, fronted by their parents, Moti and Donna. The two elder sisters, Este and Danielle, began performing with the pop group Valli Girls in 2005. They released a few songs on soundtrack and compilation albums under that name, but left the group shortly after an appearance at the 2005 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.[3] They formed Haim with younger sister Alana in 2007, but did not seriously consider it a professional career for some years. After Danielle became a successful touring guitarist, first with Jenny Lewis and later with Julian Casablancas, Haim reformed as a full-time operation in 2012.
The group's first release, Forever (an EP released as a limited-time download), combined with positive reception at the South by Southwest festival, led to a deal with Polydor Records and a management deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation group in mid-2012. The band began recording material for their first album, Days Are Gone, in sessions between touring dates, including appearances at the Glastonbury Festival. The album charted in the top ten in several countries, including the number-one spot in the UK, and the group had won several "best of" awards by the end of 2013. The group was nominated for Best New Artist at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards. Their second album, Something to Tell You, was released in July 2017.[4]

Early career[edit]
The three sisters, Este Arielle Haim (born March 14, 1986), Danielle Sari Haim (born February 16, 1989) and Alana Mychal Haim (born December 15, 1991) were all born and raised in the San Fernando Valley, California, and are Jewish.[5] Their Israeli-born father Mordechai ("Moti") and their mother Donna were both musical; though he had been a professional soccer player in Israel, Moti also played drums, while Donna won a contest on The Gong Show in the 1970s singing a Bonnie Raitt song.[6][7][8] While Danielle showed an aptitude for the guitar at a young age, Moti made the decision that Este would be more suited to the bass, buying her a second hand Fender for $50.[9] The siblings were encouraged to listen to their parents' 1970s classic rock and Americana records and, during their childhood, the family formed a band called Rockinhaim to play cover versions at local charity fairs, with Moti on drums and Donna on guitar.[7][10][11] The group played typical wedding band material, including the Beatles' "Get Back", Billy Joel's "You May Be Right" and Van Morrison's "Brown Eyed Girl",[12] but only did free community and benefit gigs at churches, schools and hospitals.[6]
Danielle and Este were members of the pop-rock group the Valli Girls, and appeared on the soundtrack to the 2005 film The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants.[9] Their song "Valli Nation" by the "SoCal teen prodigies" appeared on the 2005 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards soundtrack alongside established musicians Avril Lavigne, Alicia Keys, Simple Plan and Good Charlotte.[13]
As they grew older, the sisters became more interested in incorporating pop and contemporary R&B into their music, and in 2007 they decided to form their own band.[9] For their first gig, the trio played at a Jewish deli in Hollywood and were paid in matzah ball soup.[14] Early gigs were sparsely populated; Danielle recalled, "We were [at the] bottom of the bill at 50-capacity venues and no one would show up."[15]
For the next five years, Haim played local venues but did not consider music as a professional career, because all three sisters were busy with other projects. Este was studying at UCLA and graduated in 2010 with a degree in Ethnomusicology (completed in just two years instead of the normal five),[10][12][16] specializing in Bulgarian and Brazilian music.[12]
Danielle Haim's guest appearances[edit]
After graduating from high school, Danielle was spotted by musician Jenny Lewis at a jam session in Laurel Canyon, which led to Danielle joining Lewis' touring band.[9] The Strokes' singer Julian Casablancas came to see one of Lewis's shows on tour, and he in turn asked Danielle to play guitar and percussion on his solo tour.[11] Danielle rehearsed with Casablancas' band every day for two months, which she later described as "an eye-opening experience."[12] Following working with Casablancas from late 2009 to mid 2010, she auditioned for a place in Scarlet Fever, the all-female backing band for CeeLo Green. Danielle performed only once with the group, on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.[17]
While Danielle enjoyed touring, she decided she would prefer to perform her own music alongside her sisters,[12] turning down a lucrative tour deal with Green.[15] Casablancas advised Danielle to write stronger material and focus on recording, as it would improve their online presence.[9]
2012–13: Forever and commercial success[edit]
After playing shows supporting Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, The Henry Clay People and Kesha, Haim released the EP Forever, which included three songs in February 2012 as a time-limited free download on their website. Dash Hutton officially joined as drummer at the EP's release party at the Los Angeles Bootleg Theatre.[6] He is the son of Three Dog Night's Danny Hutton[18] and knew Este socially after she had seen his old band, Wires on Fire.[6][16] The EP received attention from the music industry following a successful series of shows at the South by Southwest festival in March.[19] Danielle recalled the first show was "maybe a disaster", but the remainder of the shows attracted more attention.[12] The band subsequently signed a deal with Polydor Records in the UK in June.[20]
In July, independent record label National Anthem re-released the Forever EP on 10" vinyl, containing the original three songs along with a fourth track, a remix of "Forever" by Dan Lissvik.[21] Following dates supporting Mumford & Sons on their Gentlemen of the Road tour in the US in August,[22][23] Haim toured the UK for the first time in November 2012[24] and then supported Florence and the Machine on their UK and Ireland tour in December.[25][26]
British music magazine New Musical Express made the title track of the Forever EP its number 4 track of 2012.[27] On January 4, 2013, the BBC announced that Haim had topped their annual Sound of 2013 music industry poll to find the most promising new musical acts for the coming year.[28] The group also signed a management contract with the conglomerate Roc Nation, returned to South by SouthWest in March 2013[29] and earned their own "At Your Request" video feature on Idolator.[30] In early 2013, they were featured on American recording artist Kid Cudi's third studio album Indicud, on the song titled "Red Eye".[31] Danielle Haim appeared on the first track, "You're No Good", from Major Lazer's second album, Free the Universe, alongside Santigold, Vybz Kartel and Yasmin.[32]
2013–14: Days Are Gone[edit]
The group spent a year recording their first album, Days Are Gone, in sessions between live shows.[9] The group experimented with drum machines and the music program GarageBand, adding hip hop and R&B influences to their existing sound.[9] Polydor recommended producers Ariel Rechtshaid and James Ford to help with the album, who suggested further use of synthesizers, bringing the album closer to a straightforward pop style.[33] Several of the drum tracks were recorded with gated reverb, made famous by Phil Collins.[34] In June 2013, the group performed at Glastonbury Festival, and in addition to their own set, the band appeared with Primal Scream performing background vocals on "It's Alright, It's OK", "Rocks" and "Come Together".[2] The band later returned for a repeat performance at Glastonbury in 2014.[35] After their set, Este nearly had a diabetic seizure. She has Type 1 diabetes and was diagnosed with it in 2000.[36][37][38]
The single "The Wire" was released on July 29 and the album followed on September 30.[39] The album reached number one in the UK and has since sold 200,000 copies there.[40][41] To promote the album, the group performed "The Wire" on the BBC's The Andrew Marr Show, with Este dedicating the song to the British Prime Minister David Cameron, also a guest on the show.[42] The move was criticised as being ill-judged by musician Johnny Marr of The Smiths, who stated that "It's really simple: they made themselves look like idiots. It's ridiculous. No-one put a gun to their head. The Conservatives tried to do the same thing with The Smiths, to re-appropriate us in a false way, to be cool by association." Haim did not respond.[43][44]
Haim subsequently toured Europe throughout the remainder of 2013, recruiting touring keyboardist Tommy King,[45] as well as performing as the musical guest on Saturday Night Live on November 23 with host Josh Hutcherson. The group performed "The Wire" and "Don't Save Me" and Este considered this performance particularly poignant as a high school drama teacher had once told her "You're never going to be on Saturday Night Live."[46] The main US tour followed in April 2014 and continued into May.[47]
In 2014, the sisters recorded backing vocals with the supergroup The New Basement Tapes for their album Lost on the River, performing on the tracks "Kansas City" and "The Whistle Is Blowing".[48][49][50]
2014–2018: Touring and Something to Tell You[edit]
In 2014, Haim were awarded the NME "Best International Band" award.[51] In August, the band released the video for "My Song 5" in a remixed version, featuring American rapper, A$AP Ferg. This is the sixth single taken from Days Are Gone.[52] Haim and Jon Heder made an appearance for the music video of Chromeo's "Old 45's".[53] In October, the group recorded a cover of Fleetwood Mac's "Rhiannon" with Stevie Nicks.[54] They continued to record their second album, having written a bulk of new material while on tour over the year.[52] The band is also featured on the original soundtrack of The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1[55] and The Divergent Series: Insurgent.[56] In November, the group contributed their vocals to the track "Pray to God" on Calvin Harris' fourth studio album Motion.[57]
The group have become friends with singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, and together they have visited Catalina and Maui, Hawaii.[58] In the summer of 2015, Haim opened for Taylor Swift at select dates on The 1989 World Tour.[59][60] The group were nominated for Best New Artist at the 57th Annual Grammy Awards.[61] Danielle was injured in an accident just before the awards, but shortly afterwards tweeted that she was recovering.[62]
In March 2016, Haim released a teaser announcing new music and a new tour for that summer.[63] In an interview with NME on January 18, 2017, Haim announced their second album will be released that summer.[64] In April, a teaser video shot by Paul Thomas Anderson was released of a new song, "Right Now" from their second album, Something to Tell You, released on July 7. Its lead single, "Want You Back", was released on May 3.[65] The band followed up the release with various promotional appearances, including a return appearance on Saturday Night Live, where they performed "Want You Back" and "Little of Your Love".[66] In early 2018, Haim announced the Sister Sister Sister Tour for the United States,[67] Europe[68] and the United Kingdom.[69]
2018–present: forthcoming album[edit]
On November 11, 2018, the group performed at Vetsaid 2018, within a lineup alongside Ringo Starr, James Taylor and Don Henley.[70] On March 6, 2019, the band announced they were headlining the 14th annual Pitchfork Music Festival in Chicago alongside headliners Robyn and The Isley Brothers.[71] On April 4, 2019, Danielle announced via the band's social media pages that the band had been recording new music and were preparing for a summer 2019 release.[72] Danielle contributed extensively to Father of the Bride, the fourth studio album by Vampire Weekend. In July 2019, they released the song "Summer Girl", which was inspired by producer and Danielle's partner Ariel Rechtshaid's fight with cancer. They stated shortly afterwards that more music will be released in the coming months with the single "Now I'm in It" being released on October 30.[73]
Musical style[edit]
Haim has been compared to the 1970s soft-rock band Fleetwood Mac, though the group says they are "squeamish" about this comparison and insist they are influenced by more recent music.[74] According to Metro, their music sounds like folk-rock "with a few R&B/hip-hop stylings thrown in for good measure".[75] The group are fans of, and have been influenced by Beyoncé, covering her song "XO" on BBC Radio 1's "Live Lounge",[41] and described "My Song 5" as "ripping off" Timbaland.[9]
The group has rejected the "girl band" label, preferring to be respected as musicians on their individual merits. Alana stated, "When people call us a girl band, I take it as an insult – being a girl in a band shouldn't be a thing."[41] All three sisters are proficient on more than one instrument: Este plays both guitar and bass, Danielle plays guitar and drums, and Alana plays guitar, keyboards and percussion.[16] For live performances, Este plays bass, Danielle plays lead guitar and sings lead vocals, and Alana plays rhythm guitar along with keyboards and percussion. All three sisters contribute three part vocal harmony.[8][16]
The band's live sound is different to that in the studio. Writing for NME, Hazel Sheffield said that Days Are Gone "may confuse those won over by their raw, rocking live shows."[33] Recordings demonstrate the group's vocal pop style, while the group plays typical rock material such as Fleetwood Mac's "Oh Well" in concert.[15] The group's background in wedding bands from their days as Rockinhaim has led them to cover many different songs live and for radio sessions, including Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball", Sheryl Crow's "Strong Enough" and the Strokes' "I'll Try Anything Once" (an early version of "You Only Live Once").[76][77] Este acts as the group's MC onstage, announcing most of the songs.[15] Many of her on stage antics, such as her blunt and coarse banter with the audience, frequent illeism and her facial expressions (known as the "bass face") while playing are staples of the band's live shows and, to a lesser extent, the band's public image.[10]
Hutton left the band in 2017 in order to focus on his own projects. As of May 2017, the touring members are drummer Jody Giachello and keyboardist Tommy King.[78]
Critical reaction to Haim has mostly been positive. PopMatters' Matt James wrote "It'd be hard to truly dislike Haim. They're an eminently likeable, albeit slightly kooky, trio whose story already bears the frisson of legend."[79] Writing for The Guardian, Alexis Petridis praised the band's songwriting abilities, saying it "has a certain kind of glossily depthless pop perfection down pat".[34] The band's sound has been described as "nu-folk-meets-nineties-R&B"[7] and "music that sounds like it was written on a lakeside retreat attended by Stevie Nicks, John Waite and En Vogue".[10]
In her survey of pop music in 2013, Observer critic Kitty Empire praised the band for "using the vector of harmonies to splice R&B with 1970s soft rock. They laid waste, too, to a herd of ghastly old hobby horses about guitar bands being unmarketable and record sales only being tied to women's state of undress."[80] The Independent was more ambivalent about the band, saying there was "an insubstantiality at their core" of their music, as they "plug[ged] unashamedly" into the heritage of acts such as Fleetwood Mac and The Bangles, ultimately finding Haim as "Okay, but not much more".[81]

New Zealand continued to excel in the ICC T20 Word Cup 2016 as they registered their second win in the tournament by defeating Australia in a Group 2 clash on 18 March. It was a fine bowling display after the powerplay that helped the Black Caps seal an eight-run victory over their neighbours.
Despite having a strong batting lineup, Australia lost wickets in quick succession, which led to their defeat to Kane Williamson's side. Usman Khawaja was the only star player with the bat, along with Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh.
IBTimes UK has complied some Twitter reactions after New Zealand's victory over Australia in their Group 2 fixture.

Try as she might, Heidi could not get her mobile to work. She shook it, then tapped it against the steering wheel (not advisable) but there was nothing, no sound.
She looked up at the scene before her. The towering skyscrapers were silhouetted against the stormy sky, seeming to rise from the rocky outcrop like monsters raising themselves from slumber. The sky looked dark and ominous, forbidden and angry.
A sudden flash up ahead told her that the storm was on its way. The thunder followed, and then the rain, coming down in sheets on her windscreen.
'I can't believe it! Why did I listen to her? She told me that the weather would be fine, sunny even.' She closed her eyes and opened the car door. A sudden gush pulled it out of her hands and she cursed as the handle swung onto her hand.
Stepping out of the car, she stood looking down at the beach. In this weather it looked stunningly beautiful, she had to admit. The tides hit the rocks and the foam was strong and fierce.
But she had seen this scene before, and needed it to be sunny. Oh yes, as sunny as possible. The case lay on the back seat, and she grabbed it, unzipping the contents. Adjusting the lens, she fired away quickly, taking in the scene, absorbing the inspiring beauty of the day.
'There you are! I tried to phone, but – ' The voice behind startled her, and she turned to see her sister standing there. Mimi was several inches shorter than her, small and fine boned, whilst she followed their father, tall and blonde.
'My phone is off. I forgot to charge it. What happened to the sun you promised me?'
'Why do you want to take sunny, nondescript photos? Your camera should reflect your character; strong, feisty and independent!'
Mimi fumbled in her pocket and held up a sheet of paper. Heidi could see the top address and the University of Melbourne printed on the top. 'It came through this morning. I wanted to see your face when I showed it to you, so that I know you have that belief in yourself. You have the talent, Heidi to go to the top, to stretch yourself and here's the proof –
"We are pleased to announce that you have been accepted on the Photography and Digital Prints course…."
' Well done sis!'

Mermaid Mug
Mermaid Mug
Longtime maker Shiro Otani says "a good pot should feel good in the hand"; that's how people describe this popular mug. A comfortable 6 oz volume available in a wide range of house colors, this mug with its curved interior is apparently an excellent size and shape for frothy latte art, as noted by the owner of Case Study Coffee.
So many people have pointed to this as a good design that I decided to make it my first project with Mudshark Studios, using stoneware. By doing so, I am able to offer retailers and restaurants a significant discount with a large order. Thank you!
note that the saucer pictured is the "small shell plate", also available in a variety of colors, and measuring 5x7x.5". The Mermaid Mug measures 4.5x3x2.5" and weighs half a pound

Red wolves are named as such because of the reddish tint to their coats. Smaller than the gray wolf, they grow to be 5.5 feet long, 26 inches high at the shoulder and up to 80 pounds in weight. They live up to seven years in the wild.
These creatures are mainly active at night. They are not as social as the gray wolf, often hunting solo, but they do form small hierarchical packs that are often connected by blood. Members of the pack help in the raising of pups, and mates tend to bond for life.
Red wolves also pursue smaller food items than their gray wolf cousins. Their menu consists of both plant material such as berries, and animal material, including insects, rabbits, muskrat and small deer.
The red wolf once lived in a wide expanse of the Southeast, from Pennsylvania to Florida and from southern Missouri to Texas. As of 2015, they live in protected areas of North Carolina. The United States government declared the species extinct in the wild in 1980, at which time there were only a few individual wolves living in captivity. Thanks to conservation efforts and captive breeding, red wolves are making a slow comeback.

First it was the springs. Then came the shock absorbers. Sunday, our daughter told me that the washing machine tub was full of water and wouldn't drain. Great!
A little research later, I figured out that the impeller had come loose from the pump motor. As is usually the case now, there is now way to fix this without replacing the entire assembly, which is very wasteful, as the motor is perfectly fine.
$90 and 15 minutes later, all is well in the laundry world again. This brings our spending on this machine to $160 over the last 15 months, but I can't really complain, as it's 13 years old. Hopefully with all these new parts, it'll keep going for a long, long time!

(CNN)The White House highly pressed back on a report that President Donald Trump discussed immigrants in a demeaning and dismissive style throughout a June conference with leading administration authorities.
The rejection can be found in reaction to explosive reporting from the New York Times , which composed that, secondo inning con 2 unnamed authorities, Trump stated throughout a conference in June that individuals originating from Haiti "all have AIDS," that current Nigerian immigrants would never ever "return to their huts" in Africa which Afghanistan is a terrorist sanctuary.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders provided a declaration rejecting and blasting the paper that Trump had actually made the remarks.
"General Kelly, General McMaster, Secretary Tillerson, Secretary Nielsen, and all other senior personnel really in the conference reject these outrageous claims and it's both unfortunate and informing the New York Times would print the lies of their confidential 'sources' anyhow," Sanders stated.
The report stated the Oval Office conference throughout the summertime consisted of Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, then-Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly and senior authorities, consisting of White House consultant Stephen Miller, who the Times stated had actually supplied Trump with a list of the number of immigrants got visas to go into the United States in 2017.
The Times report stated Kelly and Tillerson aimed to react by stating much of the visas were for short-term tourists, however that as Trump continued, Kelly and Miller "turned their ire" versus Tillerson, who tossed his arms up and answered back that possibly he needs to stop providing visas entirely.
The Times stated its report was the item of more than 3 lots interviews. The explosive and disparaging remarks about immigrants credited to the president were sourced to a set of unnamed authorities, one who the Times stated existed in the conference, and another who was informed about the remarks by a 2nd guest. The Times states numerous other individuals informed them they "did not remember" the President utilizing those words.

How to Use This Site
The Worldwide Safari Guide site is designed to allow you to easily access information about wildlife reserves throughout the world. The site is fully accessible by desktop, smart-phone or tablet devices. The navigational section of the site is arranged by continent, country and then reserve. For example, if you want to learn more about the reserves of Africa, you will select the link at the top of the site "Visit the Reserves" then select the "Africa" link on the left (see graphic examples below) .
If you want to learn more about the reserves of say, Botswana, link down one level to the "Botswana" page. The reserves in the country of Botswana will be listed below the title. Major Reserves will be shown in all "caps". Minor Reserves are listed in "lower case" letters and sometimes included on the same page as a Major Reserve, depending on the size of the reserve.
On this page you will also find other valuable information:
A "Globe Map" - shows where in the world this area is located.
A "Graphic Map" of the Country - showing the location of reserves in that country, with main cities marked, for orientation.
A live GoogleMap® - showing a live, scale-able map of the region you are studying, with all the reserves in that region marked.
Average Yearly Temperatures and Rainfall amounts (charted by month).
More About the Reserves in Botswana - button links lead you outside of our site, to information in greater depth about the reserves in this area. Often you can follow other links within these to get even more information.
Advertisements for in-country reserves are hosted as additional information.
Then, if you want to learn more about a specific reserve in Botswana, as "Chobe", link down one further level to the page having to do with that reserve.
Visit TripAdvisor® - An important additional feature of the site is that each reserve displays a link to visit www.tripadvisor.com. There you can find more information about flights and where to stay in order to plan a trip to the reserve. It will automatically drop you in to the TripAdvisor page dealing with the reserve you have been studying on the World Wildlife Guide site.
Photographs within the text content of the site contain in-bedded information about the photograph. To access that information, mouse over or click on the photograph.
When you are ready to look for another area in the site, use the navigation buttons at the top of the page to go one level up in the same country "Select Another Region - Africa", or to visit different country "Select Another Region - Global".
If you already have a reserve or specific term in mind that you would like to find, use the "Search Box" at the top of each page to find multiple mentions of that topic anywhere in the site. (Keep in mind that if you don't find what you are looking for on first pass, you may need to make the subject plural, i.e. Aardwolf vs Aardwolves.)
In most cases, there also is additional information about local and regional conservation organizations active in specific areas. This information is shown at the country and reserve level by banners identifying these organizations. Again, to take Botswana and Chobe as an example, you will see banners for several conservation organizations active in the region. Clicking any of these banners will take you to that conservation group's website.

PRACTICAL HINTS when visiting the reserves yourself
The following additional information will prove helpful to those wishing to travel to see these places for themselves.
Clothing—go equipped to dress in comfortable layers which can be added to or taken off as temperatures dictate. Light cotton long-sleeved shirts and ankle-length pants in fabric that can be washed and dried overnight work best, offering protection from sun and stinging insects, and sleeves and pants can be rolled up as desired. Long underwear in light silk can be useful anywhere. So can a wool sweater, light windbreaker, comfortable walking shoes, and lightweight hiking boots.
ALWAYS take a wide-brimmed hat; sunglasses; sun block and sun lotion; insect repellent; waterproof jacket; flashlight; alarm clock; in cool climates, gloves; an aluminum roll-up bed-covering can be a life-saver; and if photographing non-digital, plenty of film; if using digital, be sure to check in advance on availability of electrical recharge facilities.
Also useful will be plastic bags (for wet laundry, to protect film and cameras in wet or dusty conditions, and big ones can be a makeshift poncho); binoculars; possibly a spotting telescope; collapsible walking stick (some can double as photographic monopods); and first aid equipment such as aspirins, antihistamines, bandaids, ace bandage, diarrhea controls such as Immodium or Lomotil, antiseptic liquid or lotion, scissors and tweezers (these must be checked in baggage), and perhaps others such as water purification pills and antibiotic medication or lotions, on which your physician can advise. Snacks such as peanuts or nutribars can seem heaven-sent when it's a long time between meals. Some reserves are far off the beaten track where civilization's amenities are few and far between so it never hurts to pack a roll of toilet paper.
Inquire ahead about climate at destination. Three sites which we have found helpful are WorldClimate.com, Weatherbase.com, and BBC World Weather. The temperature and rainfall graphs show data from the gateway cities. Since topography and other local geographic differences can cause microclimates that differ from surrounding areas, it is well also to check local weather in advance with reserve personnel. While checking, inquire also about reserve hours and admission rules—some charge admission, some don't.
Be aware that chances of seeing wildlife are best in early morning and late afternoon, when they are out foraging. Spend time quietly walking, if permitted—many reserves have trails. Wear inconspicuous clothing, no perfume. Stop frequently to let your eyes adjust to the environment. If you are absolutely still, you can better detect wildlife movement and be less detectable yourself.
Try to background yourself on what you are likely to see by advance reading (see Bibliography) or by studying brochures available from many reserves. Bring along material to help identify the wildlife. It's more interesting that way.
A competent guide can make the difference between a good trip and a disappointing one. Choose carefully, well in advance, and with recommendations from others. A good guide is linguistically fluent and experienced in the territory. Go over detailed plans carefully before starting out, making sure he/she understands your special interests and how fast or slowly you want to go.
In many countries, international driving permits are required. Many parks and reserves require permits for entry—best inquire ahead on current rules.
As to diet, it's always safer to drink water from sealed bottles—not because local water is necessarily polluted, but it may contain elements to which your system is not accustomed. Try to use water (for tooth-brushing too!) from bottles that can be recycled, not thrown out with garbage to accumulate in the environment. Eat cooked foods or fruits and vegetables which you can peel. "Boil it, bake it, peel it, or forget it!"
Inquire ahead about and get appropriate immunization for malaria, tetanus, yellow fever, cholera, typhoid, or whatever local maladies might be a problem. The Center for Disease Control (CDC) in Atlanta, Georgia, can advise on medical protection needed and current conditions around the world, with a hotline for international travelers at 1-877-FYI-TRIP (1-877-394-8747), Fax: 1-888-cdc-fax (1-888-232-3299), or via CDC's Website: www.cdc.gov. Medical insurance companies should be consulted on whether policies apply overseas and cover emergencies such as medical evacuation without purchase of special insurance plans. A helpful organization is IAMAT, or International Association for Medical Assistance to Travelers. For a nominal voluntary fee, IAMAT will send a handy directory of recommended English-speaking physicians around the world, as well as informative booklets on this subject. Contact them at 417 Center Street, Lewiston, NY 14092, Website: www.iamat.org, E-mail: email@example.com.
Avoid traveling on public holidays. Inquire about local holidays that could present a problem—seasonal or religious festivals, for example, when travel can grind to a halt.
Make reservations for lodging and transport well ahead and re-check shortly beforehand. If it's a remote place and you're driving, be sure to take plenty of water and check vehicle for tools, spare tire, emergency fuel.
Spring and fall are usually best for seeing wildlife in temperate zones. (Remember, seasons are reversed in northern and southern hemispheres.) Another determining factor is rainy or dry season. End of dry season can be particularly good, when wildlife are attracted to scarce water-holes. See graphs for weather information in text, and also inquire ahead—temperatures and precipitation can vary greatly from year to year.
Take photocopies of such essentials as passports, visas, drivers' licenses, and credit cards, in case of loss or theft. Loss or theft of these should be reported immediately to local police and home embassy or consulate. U.S. citizens may refer to a State Department pamphlet, "A Safe Trip Abroad" and "Medical Information for Americans Traveling Abroad," available by mail from Documents Superintendent, U.S. Government Printing Office, Washington, DC 20402, via Internet at www.access.gpo.gov/su_docs, or via Bureau of Consular Affairs home page at http://travel.state.gov or autoFax: 202/647-3000.
Helpful consular information sheets are available from the U.S. State Department for almost every travel destination. Many other countries have these also.
Travelers should be aware that among credit cards, American Express offers special protection against fraud or other failure in distant places, including expenses for guides, souvenir purchases and all travel expenses—many others do not guarantee this. Read the small print.
Remember, if you like wildlife, be a good wildlife citizen when visiting a reserve. Do not crowd the wildlife or take part in motorized pursuit of animals to take pictures or observe them too closely. This can be as deadly for them as pursuit by weapons, resulting in wildlife injury or death from a variety of causes, including exhaustion, stress, and inability to hunt effectively for food for themselves as well as young families. Don't approach birds' nests closely. Human presence can keep birds away from nests long enough for eggs or young to be fatally chilled or overheated, and human scent can attract predators to a nest site. In marine reserves, don't allow guides to anchor boats in coral formations.
Don't buy or take souvenirs made from animal parts ranging from shells and coral jewelry to skins and feathers, or patronize local restaurants which serve food made with animals taken from wild populations. Do not leave, or allow guides to leave behind, litter and garbage.
Support international wildlife organizations such as World Wildlife Fund (generally called here by the name of its international affiliate—World Wild Fund for Nature), Wildlife Conservation Society and Conservation International—see Acknowledgments for web addresses of these and other conservation organizations.

Associations. When I put the book down, a little of Oedipus Rex came to mind, a little of Romeo and Juliet, a little of A Thousand Splendid Suns. However despite all the remembrances, the book was a new shocking but captivating story that explored the associations of ethnicity, religion, politics and sexuality.
The story's movement is always in the background of Northern Nigeria even though it is mainly centred in central Nigeria where you are brought into the intersection of the lives of Binta Zubairu and Hassan aka 'Reza', an uncanny association seeing as the latter is a street thug thirty years the junior of the former, a widow of fifteen years.
Abubakar Adam Ibrahim's introduction, even while itself speaking of a puddle, introduces you into the puddle of politics, religion and love in Northern Nigeria. It's an unfortunate history, that of the endless variance between Nigeria's two foremost religions Christianity and Islam and this book shows you the likeness of its effects on the people who live in its hot zones – Maiduguri but most importantly, Jos.
The violence and loss that Binta and her family experience in Jos is what leads her to the fringes of Abuja- Mararaba, to be exact. There, for a while of about 15 years, she settles with her niece Fai'za and granddaughter Ummi with occasional visits from her remaining children who include, Hureira, the hot tempered and Munkaila the well to-do.
The best thing about this book to me is the synchronous growth of the characters with the history of the country and how each individual character tries to deal with all these forces placed on them.
Binta and Reza's story are the limelight. Their relationship riding on the fact that each of them had troublesome relationships with their corresponding relations – Binta and her strained relationship with Yaro, her first son whose name tradition could not let her speak, Reza, whose mother was a prostitute working in Jeddah.
Somehow fate works to bring them together to fill the roles of the people they needed most. At the beginning when I spoke of Oedipus, it kept ringing at the back of my mind. What if the Binta just wanted her first son back? What if Reza simply wanted his mother? The circumstances that bring them together create an unusual relationship which is consummated.
Yet those are not the only things affecting these two characters. There is that Mallam Haruna fellow who because of some unusual attraction to the widow uncannily calls curtains on the whole affair. The manner that Abubakar presents Haruna makes you loathe him. You wonder what his mission in life is.
Yet he's not the only one that affects the relationship between Binta and Reza. There is the issue of the politicians, pulling the strings, using and disposing of people as they please. Like the Senator boss. When you read this story and look at this man, you somewhat feel helpless as a normal citizen. If the works are being controlled by a few older, well connected, well sourced people, what hope is there for the younger and the poorer not connected to them?
Fai'za's story speaks to a lot of things. The one particular thing that spoke to me was the pervasion of homegrown art and literature in Nigeria. Her crush on Nigerian star actor Ali Nuhu, her consumption of Soyayya novels which are steadily delivered by her friends showcase this and in a small way show us why Nigeria's art is big on the continent.
The sadder part of Fai'za's story is her "sepia dreams". The ethnic politics of the country led to her loss of a beloved brother Munkaila, whose face, as time goes on, she forgets and is drawn into near madness. A budding artist who uses art to vent, forgetting Munkaila's face becomes problematic.
There are noble characters in the book, such as Ustaz Nura whose approach to religion is that of a continual cleansing such that there is little room for condemnation or judgement. There is a deeply engaging part of this book as regards religion/spirituality.
At the beginning of the tale, Az Zahabi's "The Major Sins" is a highlight on Binta's table but her indiscretions somehow lead to a time when it's at the bottom of a pile of books. Binta is religious but struggles deeply with this attraction to Reza. It's unwitting that all the while even in her sin, her consciousness of sin but her helplessness to prevent it is present.
The book is quite a journey. The characters are deeply human and are deeply present with you. Doesn't matter whether you're in the gang controlled San Siro, or the Senator's plush residence drinking tea just for the fun of it. You realise humanity is both wicked and desperately trying to be righteous. Questions posed are whether we become who we are because of our circumstances and this book pretty much agrees to this, for very few of the characters are driven by a pure need to be good.
There's so much to chew on this volume. So much to say yet inexhaustible but for sure, it does give me a clearer picture of Nigeria and makes me sad about the intricacies of life and makes me wonder, that stranger you passed by today, do you even have a clue how complex their life could be, beyond that smile or that hijab or that key swinging?
It was a compelling read.

finally we have an engagement party date. hooray.
it has taken quite some time for us to get it together and set a date in stone, christmas was so busy with family visiting from far and wide. we thought about having our party this month but we were taking a quick trip to bali, so more delays. with my job there is only some weekends that i am free, majority of the weekends i am super busy working in the afl. but hooray we have a weekend that fits my work schedule and my close friends and family.
we looked into having our party at a venue but after enquiring at a few of our local favourite places we have decided to have it at our place. i think it's more special having it in the place where we are making our life toegther. we are mid renovation at the moment, so setting an actual date means we now have deadlines for getting the reno's completed or else there won't be a fabulous deck to entertain on.
my mind is now filled with millions of decorating and styling ideas to make our house into an engagement party wonderland. there will definitely be delicious cocktails, pom pom's, candles, lace, a huge assortment of vintage glass bottles, loads of laughs and plenty of dancing.
now that we have a date, i want to get to designing our invites. i dabble a little in graphic design in my job so i am going to design our invites. fingers crossed they don't look completely home made and lame…. i have posted some inspiration above, i will keep you posted on here with the process, from concepts to printing.
we both are now feeling so excited that we are making decision on not just our engagement party but the wedding as well. i cannot wait to share the whole adventure with you here on peppa hart bride xx

The Eiffel Tower Reopens to the Public After Paris Attack
The Eiffel Tower, an esteemed monument and tourist attraction in Paris, reopened to the public on Monday after being shut down "indefinitely" in wake of the several terrorist attacks that struck the city on Friday.
The tower reopened at 4:20 p.m. local time — 10:20 a.m. Eastern time — after Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo requested that it be closed to the public and its lights be shut off in mourning after at least 129 people were killed and hundreds wounded a series of ISIS attacks in Paris on Friday. The tower lit up with the French flag's red, white and blue after sunset upon its reopening on Monday.
The period of mourning was declared for Saturday through Monday, the three days following the attack. The Eiffel Tower was among several of the city's national monuments that were closed during mourning, including the Louvre, the Musée D'Orsay and l'Orangerie. The Musée l'Orangerie reopened its doors on Monday, and the Musée D'Orsay will reopen on Tuesday.
While the Eiffel Tower was dark, famous monuments around the world, including the Sydney Opera House, Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower and New York City's One World Trade Center were lit up with the colors of the French flag over the weekend.

REUTERS/Hyungwon Kang
- President Donald Trump is proposing new 25% tariffs on Chinese imports.
- A hearing on the proposals starts in Washington on Monday.
- The US Chamber of Commerce said in written testimony that the new tariffs would "dramatically expand the harm to American consumers, workers, businesses, and the economy."
- Furniture, lighting products, tires, chemicals, plastics, bicycles, cradles, and Chinese seafood are among the imports set to be hit by the new duties, Reuters reports.
The Trump administration's proposed tariffs on an additional $200 billion worth of Chinese goods could force Americans to pay more for items as varied as cradles and seafood, businesses have warned.
Monday features the first session of a planned six-day hearing in Washington on the proposed 25% tariffs, which are part of the Trump administration and US trade representative's efforts to put pressure on Beijing.
The US Chamber of Commerce, which represents a wide range of American businesses, said in written testimony for the hearing that the new tariffs would "dramatically expand the harm to American consumers, workers, businesses, and the economy."
Past rounds of sanctions have targeted mainly Chinese industrial machinery and intermediate goods, but the proposed tariffs could affect thousands of consumer products by late September, Reuters reports. Furniture, lighting products, tires, chemicals, plastics, bicycles, cradles, car seats, and seafood are all in line to be hit by the new duties.
The US Chamber of Commerce accused the Trump administration of lacking a "coherent strategy" to address its claims of rampant Chinese theft of intellectual property and other harmful trade practices, according to Reuters. It called for "serious discussions" with Beijing.
The Office of the US Trade Representative received more than 1,400 written comments from businesses about the Trump administration's plan. Most businesses argued the tariffs would cause harm by raising costs on products and services.
The largest bicycle brand in the US, Huffy, said a 25% tariff posed a "serious threat to the company." It sells 4 million Chinese-made bikes a year.
"There is no other country in Asia or Europe that can provide the volume Huffy requires as China is the largest bicycle producer in the world," Bill Smith, the CEO of Huffy Corp., said in his submission.
Graco Children's Products, which makes car seats for infants, said there would be an increase in customers buying secondhand items for their children.
The company said the tariffs would "have a direct negative impact on our company, American parents, and most importantly the safety of American children."
Trump administration officials and their Chinese counterparts are expected to meet later this week in Washington to discuss their trade dispute.
Reuters contributed to this report.

The campaign shot by Steven Meisel showcases the talents of the four unknown models, some of whom will be making their runway debuts at the September collections. Casting director Ashley Brokaw clearly had fresh faced beauty in mind when selecting the stellar line-up for the Fall/Winter campaign. Kudos has to be given to Muccia Prada for allowing Brokaw to select complete unknowns for what is undoubtedly the campaign coup of the season. Mittendorf looks every bit the star in the making in the first images to be released and will no doubt capture the attention of casting directors and designers in the lead up to the September shows.

The show was started with Skrillex by Jude and Jaidyn. The next act was Lion Sleeps Tonight by Leon,Ben,
Kyle and Isaac. Then a stunning performance by our only solo man Lonely Boy by
Ezekiel. Then the group of girls who sang Call Me Maybe was Michaela, Shania,

Brodie which was You Can Count On Me. Then it was Paris to Berlin sung by
