Quote #18844
Agnetha Faltskog
It has always felt like a failure that Bjorn and I couldn't keep our family together. You never get it back, but to this day I don't regret splitting up. The reason behind our separation is one of those things I definitely don't want to go into!
Quote #18937
Ahmed Alibage

Quote #125275
Ajeet Sharma
If you lose money in business, you can still cover up the loss. If you lose time, the only thing you have by your side is wreckage.
Quote #125538
Al Gore
If we don't succeed, we run the risk of failure.
Quote #18672
Alain de Botton
For the rest of history, for most of us, our bright promise will always fall short of being actualised; it will never earn us bountiful sums of money or beget exemplary objects or organisations....Most of us stand poised at the edge of brilliance, haunted by the knowledge of our proximity, yet still demonstrably on the wrong side of the line, our dealings with reality undermined by a range of minor yet critical psychological flaws (a little too much optimism, an unprocessed rebelliousness, a fatal impatience or sentimentality). We are like an exquisite high-speed aircraft which for lack of a tiny part is left stranded beside the runway, rendered slower than a tractor or a bicycle.
Quote #125076
Alan Hansen
The pressures are intense, because the rewards for success and the penalty for failure are more and more.
Quote #18868
Alan Price
The one phrase you can use is that success has a thousand fathers, and failure is an orphan.

Alan Rickman
I want to swim in both directions at once. Desire success, court failure.
Quote #18631
Alan Shearer
We go there with confidence, but we know there is a very fine line between success and failure in this game.
Quote #18883
Alaric Hutchinson
Are you able to remain humble and kind when things do not go the way you want or expect? Be kind when you are in pain; be kind even when your life seems to be falling apart around you. Be humble not only when you succeed but also when you fail. Kindness in word and action, and humble in thought and belief. It is important to not only say and do the 'right' thing, it is important to also think and believe it - which is being genuine in nature of peace embodiment.
Quote #181924
Alastair Campbell
Failure, it is thought, is what sells, and what people want to hear and read about. I am not so sure.
Quote #18809
Albert Claude
This attempt to isolate cell constituents might have been a failure if they had been destroyed by the relative brutality of the technique employed. But this did not happen.
Quote #18928
Albert J. Nock
As might be supposed, my parents were quite poor, but we somehow never seemed to lack anything we needed, and I never saw a trace of discontent or a failure in cheerfulness over their lot in life, as indeed over anything.
Quote #18790
Alberto Giacometti
All I can do will only ever be a faint image of what I see and my success will always be less than my failure or perhaps equal to the failure.
Quote #18789
Aldrich Ames
The Soviet Union did not achieve victory over the West, so was my information inadequate to help them to victory, or did it play no particular role in their failure to achieve victory?
Quote #19044
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.
Quote #18379
Alexander Haig
You have to look at the history of the Middle East in particular. It has been one of failure and frustration, of feudalism and tribalism.
Quote #18689
Alexander Payne
I get asked, 'How can you have such failures in your films?' Well, what else is life about? There's some sense of constant failure in something. Humor gives you a distance from it.
Quote #18730
Alexander Pope
To err is human, to forgive, divine.
Quote #187809
Alexander Wang
I think everyone shares a fear of failure - that you're only as good as your most recent collection. That's definitely a fear, but it's a fear that fuels me, that makes me want to work harder, that makes me take on more challenges.
Quote #18800
Alexandre Dumas
A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms against himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.
Quote #18405
Alfred Adler
No experience is a cause of success or failure. We do not suffer from the shock of our experiences, so-called trauma - but we make out of them just what suits our purposes.
Quote #18543
Ali Larter
I was brought up to believe that there is no such thing as failure as long as I'm trying my best. So I've had a 'blood, guts and glory' approach through my whole life.
Quote #18891
Alice Foote MacDougall
I simply don't believe in failure. In itself, it doesn't exist. We create it. We make ourselves fail.
Quote #19015
Alice James
The success or failure of a life, as far as posterity goes, seems to lie in the more or less luck of seizing the right moment of escape.
Quote #18981
Alicia A. Jennings
Failure is the secret to success because doing it wrong is apart of doing it right.
Quote #125772
Allan Bloom
The failure to read good books both enfeebles the vision and strengthens our most fatal tendency - the belief that the here and now is all there is.
Quote #18707
Allen Tate
So the poet, who wants to be something that he cannot be, and is a failure in plain life, makes up fictitious versions of his predicament that are interesting even to other persons because nobody is a perfect automobile salesman.
Quote #18863
Alvin Adams
Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise, diplomacy included, which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public, hence ultimately of failure.
Quote #18991
Ambrose Bierce
A person who doubts himself is like a man who would enlist in the ranks of his enemies and bear arms agains himself. He makes his failure certain by himself being the first person to be convinced of it.
Quote #18498
Ambrose Bierce
Destiny: A tyrant's authority for crime and a fool's excuse for failure.
Quote #18508
Amelia Earhart
Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be a challenge to others.
Quote #18594
Amelia Earhart
I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others.
Quote #124779
Amelia Earhart
Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.
Quote #18555
Amelia Earhart
Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail their failure must be but a challenge to others.

Quote #176971
Amos Bronson Alcott
We climb to heaven most often on the ruins of our cherished plans, finding our failures were successes.
Quote #18415
Amy Sedaris
I failed first grade, which is my biggest problem. You always feel like a failure, like you're stupid.
Quote #18766
Amy Tan
I didn't fear failure. I expected failure.
Quote #18771
Amy Tan
And for all those years, we never talked about the disaster at the recital or my terrible accusations afterward at the piano bench. All that remained unchecked, like a betrayal that was now unbreakable. So I never found a way to ask her why she had hoped something so large that failure was inevitable. And even worse, I never asked her what frightened me the most: Why had she given up hope?
Quote #125087
Amy Tan
I think I've always been somebody, since the deaths of my father and brother, who was afraid to hope. So, I was more prepared for failure and for rejection than for success.
Quote #18772
An Wang
You have to risk failure to succeed. The important thing is not to make one single mistake that will jeopardize the future.
Quote #19006
Andre Malraux
Often the difference between a successful person and a failure is not one has better abilities or ideas, but the courage that one has to bet on one's ideas, to take a calculated risk - and to act.
Quote #18424
Andreas Harpas
If your plan A didn't work then try plan B. If that didnt work either then try plan C and so on. What I want to say is that you must never change your goal. Failure is when you stop thinking of other plans to achieve your goal when the plan A didnt work out for you.
Quote #127669
Andrew Vachss
I believe my publisher has shown a great deal of faith in me over a lot of years but I'm not prepared to be so arrogant to say that the long-term literary value of my work would compensate them for a financial failure.
Quote #18948
Andy Grove
Success breeds complacency. Complacency breeds failure. Only the paranoid survive.
Quote #18425
Andy Murray
In tennis, it is not the opponent you fear, it is the failure itself, knowing how near you were but just out of reach.
Quote #18750
Aniruddha Sastikar
Never mind those failures till yesterday. Each new day is a sequel of a wonderful life; gifted with hopes to succeed.
Quote #105161
Ann Landers
There could be no honor in a sure success, but much might be wrested from a sure defeat.
Quote #18419
Anna Garlin Spencer
The failure of women to produce genius of the first rank in most of the supreme forms of human effort has been used to block the way of all women of talent and ambition for intellectual achievement.
Quote #18997
Anna Neagle
The time I had waited probably made the difference between success and failure.
Quote #18955
Anna Quindlen
The clearest explanation for the failure of any marriage is that the two people are incompatible that is, that one is male and the other female.
Quote #18633
Anna Quindlen
I'm sure not afraid of success and I've learned not to be afraid of failure. The only thing I'm afraid of now is of being someone I don't like much.
Quote #18652
Anne Baxter
I wasn't afraid to fail. Something good always comes out of failure.
Quote #18443
Anne Baxter
It's best to have failure happen early in life. It wakes up the Phoenix bird in you so you rise from the ashes.

Quote #154091
Anthony Swofford
When you fail, you disgrace yourself and others. When you succeed, be proud and others will be proud for you.
Quote #125588
Anthony T. Hincks
A positive is just two negatives going in two different directions. So, if something doesn't work, change tact, and come at it from a different direction. You never know, it may just work.That's being positive for ya!
Quote #168689
Anthony T. Hincks
Failure is when you stop trying to do something.So, if you want to succeed.Don't stop trying.

Depression! It really gets you down.
Quote #88718
Antonio Machado
I dreamt -- marvellous error! -- that I had a beehive here inside my heart. And the golden bees were making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures.
Quote #124897
Arianna Huffington
We need to accept that we won't always make the right decisions, that we'll screw up royally sometimes - understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it's part of success.
Quote #18638
Arlie Russell Hochschild
Has Bill Clinton inspired idealism in the young, as he himself was inspired by John F. Kennedy? Or has he actually reduced their idealism? Surely part of the answer lies in Clinton's personal moral lapse with Monica Lewinsky. But more important was his sin of omission - his failure to embrace a moral cause beyond popularity.

Arnold J. Toynbee
A life which does not go into action is a failure.

The more control you have over your life, the more responsible you feel for your own success - or failure.
Quote #18957
Arthur C. Danto
It really is impossible not to like him. His success was his failure.
Quote #19040
Arundhati Roy
It is true that success is the most boring thing, it is tinny and brittle, failure runs deeper. Success is dangerous. I have a very complicated relationship with that word.
Quote #125017
Ashly Lorenzana
The end of a relationship is not always a failure. Sometimes all the love in the world is not enough to save something. In these cases, it is not a matter of fault from either person. Some things cannot be, it's as simple as that.
Quote #77602
Audre Lorde
The failure of academic feminists to recognize difference as a crucial strength is a failure to reach beyond the first patriarchal lesson. In our world, divide and conquer must become define and empower.
Quote #18601
Auliq Ice
If everything is possible, then it is also possible that something is impossible.
Quote #125703
Challenges in and of themselves do nothing. But they create circumstances where growth can occur in ways it can't while sailing in smoother waters.

The insights gathered from those relatively unique experiences can add wisdom to our own travels.
Quote #126379
Surrender is not an option, keep trying is the answer.
Quote #126415
Those that dare not to dream big are cowards, for they fear to expose the already great potentials embedded inside of them.
Quote #146968
Quote #126373
We often go through life with blinders on. Not always because we refuse to see what is obvious or that we're too lazy or fearful to look very deeply, but because we don't know to look where we don't know something has been neglected.
Quote #133871
Today's temporary disappointment means tomorrows permanent appointment.
Quote #169344
Quote #132271
If you stumble, you get back up. If you fall off the wagon, you have the next go at it. And then the next. And the next. And the next.
Quote #126417
No matter how crazy or hard a man acts sometimes he has a soft side.
Quote #147038
Time of failure is a more manageable chunk of time that allows you to pick up speed and momentum, but close enough that you don't lose sight of the shore or feel overwhelmed by the enormity of the goal.
Quote #106603
Challenges often require that we suffer or endure over an extended period of time
Quote #133837
Through challenge and difficulty, we learn to see life differently than before.
Quote #126372
It is often only in our trials that we become aware that our courage or patience or faith could use some polish.
Quote #133872
One who achieves through struggle has a far good taste of happiness than who gains at once.
Quote #133281
After failure, You must resolve to do whatever the object of your resolution is.
Quote #126418
Quote #133839
We often don't realise how much strength we have until challenged to use it. Once tested, we know how strong or weak we are.
Quote #126371
As hard as we strive, man remains a perfect imperfect being.
Quote #146872
Life doesn't give you much, but for the ones who want to learn, life teaches them how to be strong before they start living their lives instead of just existing in this world.
Quote #133283
As we go, we become more deeply committed to a life of purpose and meaning and personal decency as we come to feel a broader connection to the shared experience of humanity.
Quote #126416
Through our trials and tribulations, our stint in the wilderness of our lives, if you will, we come face to face with our darker traits, do battle with them, and round off the rougher edges of our character in the process.
Quote #126411
Our trials are our greatest teachers, mentors and benefactors.
Quote #126374
Not only do our trials become classrooms that teach us life's most profound lessons, they add joy and meaning to daily living.
Quote #106586
The hopelessness of life is like a weak fire, that can only be extinguished using the fire extinguisher called hope.
Quote #146946
Quote #133870
Avina Celeste
Allow yourself to make mistakes. There will always be times in your life when you fail but you can make that failure into a success by choosing to learn from it. Tomorrow is another day and another chance to succeed. Try again.
Quote #131439
Avina Celeste
The only way to fail at life is to start believing that life can't get any better. Perfect may not be attainable but better is always an option. Perfection only creates the idea that there is a limit on how great your life can get. Start believing that you have the power to create a better life for yourself.
Quote #131323
Avina Celeste
If you were to wake up tomorrow to a life where all your goals had been accomplished but had no memory of the work you put into succeeding, would you feel the happiness that you would have if you had completed your goals yourself? Probably not. Sure, perhaps you would live happily for a while given that you are suddenly living a dream life but in the long run something would be wrong. You wouldn't have learned the lessons you needed to maintain this new lifestyle. You see, the success is found in the journey, not the finish line. You need to learn the lessons that come with working hard, failing, trying again, and, eventually, succeeding at living the life you have always wanted.
Quote #131374
Avina Celeste
If you fail today there is always tomorrow to try again. You always have that second chance tomorrow.
Quote #131387
Avina Celeste
Everyone should give their dream a chance. Don't give up before you've even started. Let your actions push you to your dreams and don't let the thought of failure be the thing that stops you. It may be hard and you may struggle, but in the end, you can have the pride in saying you tried your hardest to get what you wanted and let nothing stand in your way.
Quote #131391
Avina Celeste
If you never take action, failure is guaranteed. When the only thing you fear is failure, the only thing you can do is get started. If you never work past that fear, it will never go away. Yeah, you might fail if you try but if you never try you will always fail.
Quote #131309
Ayelet Waldman
Before I was married, I didn't consider my failure to manage even basic hand tools a feminist inadequacy. I thought it had more to do with being Jewish. The Jews I knew growing up didn't do 'do-it-yourself.' When my father needed to hammer something he generally used his shoe, and the only real tool he owned was a pair of needle-nose pliers.
Quote #18725
B. C. Forbes
The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.
Quote #18719
B. C. Forbes
The man who has done his level best... is a success, even though the world may write him down a failure.
Quote #18590
B. F. Skinner
A failure is not always a mistake, it may simply be the best one can do under the circumstances. The real mistake is to stop trying.
Quote #18369
B. Justin Shier
Son, a real battlefield lacks dignity and honor. When lives are being spent
Quote #155750
Balroop Singh
The fear of failure, the fear of competition, the fear of being ridiculed, the fear of running out of expenses and many more such issues encompass us when we start thinking about our dreams.
Quote #126140
Barack Obama
The Bush Administration's failure to be consistently involved in helping Israel achieve peace with the Palestinians has been both wrong for our friendship with Israel, as well as badly damaging to our standing in the Arab world.
Quote #18488
Barack Obama
In America, there's a failure to appreciate Europe's leading role in the world.
Quote #18484
Barack Obama
So while I will never minimize the costs involved in military action, I am convinced that a failure to act in Libya would have carried a far greater price for America.
Quote #18490
Barack Obama
The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better. I, therefore, intend to oppose the effort to increase America's debt.
Quote #18464
I don't believe in failure. I'm perseverant - I believe in failing.
Quote #139949
Ben Carson
Success is determined not by whether or not you face obstacles, but by your reaction to them. And if you look at these obstacles as a containing fence, they become your excuse for failure. If you look at them as a hurdle, each one strengthens you for the next.
Quote #82244
Ben Okri
The higher the artist, the fewer the gestures. The fewer the tools, the greater the imagination. The greater the will, the greater the secret failure.
Quote #18734
Ben Stiller
The failure of The Cable Guy impacted my career. I had to start writing and acting again.
Quote #18822
Ben Tolosa
Failure is a fundamental piece of success.
Quote #125976
Benjamin Carson
With everything that is complex, we learn. If you don't learn, then it's an utter and abject failure. If you do learn, and you're able to apply that to the next situation, then you take away a measure of success.
Quote #18654
Benjamin Disraeli
Through perseverance many people win success out of what seemed destined to be certain failure.
Quote #18382
Benjamin E. Mays
Not failure, but low aim is sin.
Quote #18612
Benjamin Franklin
Do not fear mistakes. You will know failure. Continue to reach out.
Quote #18341
Benjamin Franklin
I didn't fail the test, I just found 100 ways to do it wrong.
Quote #84126
Berkeley Breathed
That's the conundrum of cartoon stripping, as opposed to political cartoons. When your anger is the driving force of your drawing hand, failure follows. The anger is OK, but it has to serve the interests of the heart, frankly.
Quote #18828
Bernard Baruch
Do not blame anybody for your mistakes and failures.
Quote #18406
Berthe Morisot
A love of nature is a consolation against failure.
Quote #18935
Betty White
If you get into a Broadway show and it doesn't work, you're a failure. And if it does work, you may be stuck for who knows how long. It just doesn't sound great to me!
Quote #18674
Beverly Sills
You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don't try.
Quote #81087
Bill Cosby
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.
Quote #18450
Bill Cosby
In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.
Quote #18446
Bill Gates
It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
Quote #18345
Bill Moyers
War, except in self-defense, is a failure of moral imagination.
Quote #18875
Bill Parcells
Success is never final, but failure can be.
Quote #18422
Billy Dee Williams
Failure's not a bad thing. It builds character. It makes you stronger.
Quote #18934
Bob Anderson
Leaders succeed or fail depending on whether or not they clarify role expectations and keep their promises.
Quote #177109
Bob Goff
Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay; it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.
Quote #92471
Bob Woodward
The failure of the system to deal quickly was attributable to Nixon's lying, stonewalling and refusal to come clean. So it took 26 months for the final truth to be known.
Quote #18701
Bob Woodward
Nixon's grand mistake was his failure to understand that Americans are forgiving, and if he had admitted error early and apologized to the country, he would have escaped.
Quote #18702
But while success and failure depend on conditions, the mind neither waxes nor wanes.

Golden Oldy, Aonach Mor
Another stunning day with alpine conditions today and Dave and I headed to the West face of Aonach Mor knowing we'd get some sun. We spent the day on Golden Oldy recapping some mountaineering techniques and even gave Dave a chance to have a go on the sharp end. The route was pretty snow free on the bottom 100m or so but the turf is still frozen solid and the upper part of the route is still holding snow well. I'm supposed to be having a rest day tomorrow but when the weather is like this it's hard to stay at home.

Published at Wednesday, May 29th, 2019 - 19:17:41 PM. Coffee Table. By Darchelle Roques.
Find a coffee table that fits your room size, meets your essential needs, enhances your color theme, and accents your decor. You don't want cups of hot coffee on the floor where a small child could step in them and get burned. People are less likely to spill the coffee if it is on a coffee table to begin with.
Even sitting on a table when distracted could cause it to shatter and inflict life shattering injuries. Many people suggest that in households with small children even a tempered glass coffee table is unsuitable as the possibility of it shattering is just too great.

Purchase Flowers On the internet – 5 Tips For Delivering Flowers Inexpensive
Send blossoms cheap, avoid send inexpensive flowers!
If you are short upon cash however, you want to deliver someone blooms, don't attempt to save money by visiting the first on the internet flower shipping service you observe and selecting their least expensive floral set up, because you will end up delivering cheap plants. What you want to perform is find a very good deal within the nicest think about, so you wind up saving money, however, not compromising in quality.
Deliver Flowers Low-cost Tip #1: Order Blossoms Online
The best way to get the cheapest price is to purchase flowers on-line for shipping and delivery. Local florists have massive overhead and frequently their bouquets are not because fresh since you'd like these to be. However when you order on the web, the flora are usually arriving direct through the grower.
On-line flowers tend to be cut which morning, placed into your floral arrangement as well as sent out prior to they wilt. That means you receive the finest, most inexpensive take into account because there is absolutely no middleman. Only a website in your way on the path to your plant delivery. for more click here
Send out Flowers Affordable Tip #2: Choose Weekday Flower Shipping
Deliveries throughout the week, Mon to Fri can save you lots of money on distribution charges. A few places, cost way more with regard to Saturday sheduled delivery. Another suggestion to keep in mind is the fact that most florists don't focus on Sundays, if you send blossoms on Wednesday, you are probably getting blooms that were reduce on Saturday. For your freshest plants, have them shipped from Wednesday to Comes to an end.
Send Blooms Cheap Suggestion #3: Select Seasonal Plants
When you search through a website searching for just the right bloom arrangement to deliver, go straight to the periodic flowers. It is almost always called, Springtime Flowers, or even Sale Think about, or Greatest Sellers. These types of flowers are usually growing powerful and lovely her at the time a person order so that they are the best option for three factors. One, there are a great number of those think about available. 2, they will keep going longer because bouquets are most powerful when they are within season. As well as three, simply because florists come with an abundance associated with seasonal flora, they want to market more. Periodic flowers would be the most inexpensive take into account online.
Give Flowers Low-priced Tip #4: Order Earlier for Functions
Some on the net flower stores raise their own prices about special occasions such as Valentine's Day, Mom's Day, Xmas, etc . specifically for delivery. But if you act like you place your own order a minimum of 7 days prior to the big day, it can save you money about delivery and you may usually obtain a great deal around the flowers as well. The best blossom delivery solutions do not increase their costs during functions so you can send out flowers low-cost for any event.

|Elliott Sound Products
|Cables, Interconnects & Other Stuff - Part 5
Here we have another bunch of lies - or perhaps half truths is a better description. There are differences between capacitors, but they are not (generally) audible - despite the claims. I have seen reference to dielectric losses, the 'sound' of polyester is supposedly inferior to that of polystyrene, and on and on. The stupid part is that all these are true - at radio frequencies - at audible frequencies it is very hard or impossible to measure any difference (or hear a difference, using even a simple blind test).
At the frequencies you and I can hear, there is no audible or measurable difference between most capacitors, unless the equipment builder has done something monumentally idiotic, such as reverse bias an electrolytic. This is (fortunately) rare.
There are some capacitors that are inferior in some regards (but superior in others). For example, many ceramic capacitors have a temperature coefficient that causes the capacitance to vary with temperature (usually negative - N750 or N500 capacitors). NPO ceramic caps have a 'negative/positive/zero' temperature coefficient - i.e. close to zero). There are many claims that these should not be used in audio, but they are useful in audio and RF designs for decoupling (bypassing). The values are generally too low to be useful in most audio circuits (although ceramics are made in higher values, but not always easy to get), but otherwise they would almost certainly be fine - after all, the dielectric is a ceramic and not plastic, so they have low loss and very low self inductance. Having said that, ceramic caps usually have poor stability (they should never be used in filter circuits other than for RF suppression), and non-linearities are well documented at high AC voltages. I would not use a ceramic cap in the audio path for this reason.
Many other high stability or low loss/high power RF circuits (but not those using inductors - N500 or N750 ceramics counteract the temperature coefficient of the coils) will use silvered mica or the like - this is great at 400MHz, but quite unnecessary at 20kHz. Mind you, they are far and away the best low value caps you can buy, and if you can tolerate the expense, fine. Just don't expect to hear a difference.
Many modern opamps have such a wide bandwidth that ceramic caps (usually in conjunction with electrolytics) should be the only choice for bypassing, despite the negative comments of some audiophiles.
Then there are electrolytic capacitors. Claim upon claim has been made about their distortion and poor frequency response, particularly at high frequencies. I recently saw an article (which I would give reference to if I could remember where I saw it) where a standard electrolytic and an audiophile grade unit were tested in the same circuit. The standard electrolytic was actually better, having a distortion component at mid and high frequencies that was only marginally worse than the 'high end' unit, but was much better at low frequencies.
The audibility of an electrolytic cap is (to my mind) still highly contentious. At low frequencies, all electrolytics will start to introduce some distortion. The levels are quite low, but as the capacitor's reactance becomes significant, distortion rises.
The reactance of any capacitor is determined with the formula ...
Xc = 1 / (2 *π * f * C) where Xc is capacitance reactance, f is frequency and C is capacitance (in Farads)
If Xc is maintained at 1/10 (or 0.1) of the supplied load impedance, then this low frequency distortion will not be an issue, but in any case is far lower than that of a loudspeaker.
High frequency performance is affected by the capacitor's internal inductance and dielectric losses, which causes a rise in impedance as frequency increases. It is very common to see electrolytics bypassed with polyester or similar caps, and for RF this is essential. It is also needed when bypassing the power supply rails of an amp, since at the frequencies that amps like to oscillate at (typically above 1MHz), the electrolytic simply has too much impedance. For audio frequencies a bypass is not needed, but will do no harm.
The combined effects of internal resistance and inductance contribute to the electrolytics' equivalent series resistance, or ESR. This can be measured (I have an ESR tester), and is a good indication that a cap is failing. As electrolytics age, their ESR will rise until a point is reached where the component will be unserviceable.
As a test, I checked a few caps in my workshop. I could not measure any distortion created by an electrolytic passing signal current (as opposed to speaker current, which I did not test at this stage). I also checked the frequency response of a couple of electros, and found zero degradation at 100kHz - even a square wave was passed with no visible deterioration in rise time (which would indicate frequency limitation).
I then tested the ESR and capacitance of a 220µF and 10µF electrolytic, and a 1µF polyester capacitor.
|Meas Val.
|ESR (Ohms)
|220 µF
|207 µF
|10 µF
|10.1 µF
|1.0 µF
|1.02 µF
I thought that this was quite interesting, personally. If we use 10µF electros where we might have otherwise used a 1µF polyester, the ESR is better. Will it make any difference whatsoever to the sound? Of course not. None of these devices introduced any measurable distortion or anything else that I could see. One thing I know for sure is that if I can't see any change on my distortion meter residual, then there is no change. A complex waveform does not affect the validity of this testing, since I can test distortion at any frequency I like, and the appearance of multiple frequencies at once does not affect any passive device.
Considering that I use the averaging facility on my oscilloscope to eliminate noise completely, I can see the most minute change in a signal waveform. If nothing can be seen here, then no-one, regardless of how good they think their ears are, will be able to hear the difference in a properly conducted test.
I was recently taken to task for not mentioning tantalum capacitors. I hate them! They are unreliable, and many tests have shown that their linearity is highly suspect. The only intermittent short circuit I have ever found in a cap was with a tantalum in a power supply circuit. It would fail for long enough to blow the fuse, and then work again. I strongly suggest that you don't use tantalum caps in anything more advanced than a dustbin.
Bottom Line on Capacitors
Various people have advocated passing pulse signals through two different sorts of capacitor, and subtracting the result, claiming that the non-zero residue proves that capacitors can introduce audible errors. In fact such tests expose only well-known capacitor shortcomings such as dielectric absorption and series resistance, and perhaps the vulnerability of the dielectric film in electrolytics to reverse biasing.
No-one has been able to show how these imperfections could cause capacitor audibility in an amplifier,and my own tests confirm this.
I must confess though, that perhaps we don't know how to perform the 'audibility' tests. I do not believe that there is a significant difference, but many do ... who knows?
Non-polarised electrolytics are a different matter, especially when used in crossover networks. These have a tendency to lose capacitance as they age, shifting the crossover frequency with disastrous results (sonically speaking). Because the loss is gradual, you may possibly not even hear it until the tweeter has almost stopped working, as you get used to the sound over a period of time. Unless all bi-polars age at the same rate (unlikely), you will start to notice a difference between the two speakers. This is your cue to head off to the electronics shop and buy some replacements (non electrolytic, preferably). There are (supposedly) some major audible differences between bipolar electrolytics and film dielectric (plastic) types. This is your chance to test the theory.
There is an audible and measurable difference between different dielectrics. It's less to do with dissipation factor, and more to do with dielectric absorption. There is no black magic about it - its very well documented throughout the entire range of electronics industries. Here's how to convince yourself that this is possibly the most insidious source of distortion in audio. Get a largish value electrolytic reservoir cap and charge it up to (say) 50 volts for a minute or so. Then, with a DVM attached to the terminals, discharge the cap so the voltage reads zero.
After removing the discharge resistor, watch the voltmeter reading climb back up as the cap miraculously charges itself back up from nowhere. In a signal coupling capacitor this would be bizarre enough behaviour to be a worry, but can you imagine what the effect must be if the cap is in a feedback loop? Give it some thought, and think about how much damage would have to be done to a signal to loose the ambience surrounding a quiet instrument buried in a large ensemble. Think of reverb at -60dB, or lower.
Dielectric absorption is significant, and ceramic caps suffer from it badly, as do electrolytics. Do some measuring, but more importantly, do some listening.
Fair comment, and it deserves an answer. I also know the 'stored charge' phenomenon of electrolytics (I actually demonstrated it to my son some time ago), and although this is absolutely real, it does not reflect the behaviour of the cap in a real world amplifier.
Most capacitors normally don't charge and discharge in this manner, but remain charged to some DC potential at all times. The charge recovery mechanism should never come into play in a properly designed circuit, regardless of programme material. There are exceptions! A capacitor used as the 'dominant pole' or Miller capacitance in the Class-A amplifier section of a power amp is charged and discharged fully with each cycle of the input waveform. Ceramic capacitors are commonly used in this role, but I suggest that polystyrene is probably much better. Will you be able to hear the difference? My own experience is that you should not hear the slightest change in the sound, but it is conceivable that with some amplifiers this may in fact be audible in extreme cases.
The dielectric absorption process is present to some degree in all capacitors, and although some are definitely worse than others in this respect, I have conducted some tests with my Sound Impairment Monitor (SIM), which has never been able to detect any degradation of the type you might think should happen.
The claim that there will be an effect similar to reverberation at -60dB is complete nonsense. No such effect is measurable or audible. I do think that after all these years, someone would have worked out a way to prove this effect if it existed at all. No such proof has been offered, but I have seen 'proof' that a ceramic capacitor (pushed way beyond its voltage rating if I recall correctly) can introduce some measurable distortion. The solution is easy - don't run any capacitor at above its voltage rating, and all will be well.
Feel free to test the theory. Make sure there is no DC in the signal line, and connect a bipolar cap (say 10µF) in series with the interconnect between preamp and power amp. Wire a switch across the cap, and have someone operate the switch while you are listening. You have to be able to hear a difference at least 75% of the time (and accurately identify whether the cap is in or out of circuit). If you can do this, then the probability is that the capacitor is audible (unless you do something nasty with the switch wiring that gives audible clues - this is cheating ).
There are some who insist that the instantaneous current output needs to infinite (or at worst, half this value), and that amplifiers with limited current sound terrible. This is another piece of nonsense.
Let's assume that a nominal 8 Ohm loudspeaker load has an impedance minimum of 1 Ohm at some frequency. This is a bad design, but a valid assumption. This means that the amplifier must be able to supply a maximum of 8 times the normal current. A 100W amplifier would then supply a normal peak current of a little over 3.5 Amps. At the frequency where impedance falls to 1 Ohm, this becomes just over 28A.
So let's have a look at the very worst case possible, where the load is fully reactive and returns all supplied energy 180 degrees out of phase (at this point, the load is performing no work, so if a loudspeaker, is making no sound). The amplifier now has to deal with two lots of current - that supplied to the load, and that returned from the load. Even if it were possible, the worst case above would require a current capacity of 56A, however a loudspeaker that presented such a load to any amplifier will not last long in the market, since it will blow up nearly every amplifier that is attached to it.
There is no audible benefit whatsoever in creating an amp that can supply 100 or 200A, since the load will never need this current and is incapable under any circumstance of drawing more than the applied voltage and minimum impedance will allow (allowing for the reactive component of the load).
Class-A amplifiers are generally capable of a very modest current, usually barely above that theoretically needed to drive the speaker. I have not heard anyone claim they are rubbish, because of the low current capability.
The one exception is with extreme crossover networks or other speaker configurations that create a difficult impedance load. It will often be found that some amplifiers cannot drive these speakers well, and others have no problem. An amplifier capable of high current may sound better with these loads, but I suggest that the speaker design is flawed if the designer is incapable of creating a crossover that cannot maintain a respectable impedance.
Someone has managed to convince a sizable segment of the audiophile fraternity that to achieve acceptable channel separation, completely separate amplifiers must be used. Considering that it has been shown [5] that 20dB channel separation is quite sufficient for a full stereo image to be appreciated, it is nonsense to claim that infinite separation is needed or desirable.
It is not at all difficult to design an amplifier with better than 50dB separation, even using valves, and any more than this is of no audible benefit. The 'cross-modulation' effect that a shared power supply supposedly introduces is drivel. If an amp is so heroically ill-conceived as to suffer from cross-modulation, then simply sticking it into its own case with a separate power supply certainly won't fix it. I might suggest that it is most ideally suited as a boat anchor, since the design is so seriously flawed that it is beyond salvation.
A common power supply is a sensible (and far cheaper) alternative, and will cause no crosstalk in itself. Most amps have a very high ripple rejection, and if they reject ripple, they will also reject any signal frequencies that happen to get onto the supply line.
In fact, the conventional power supply capacitors will filter out all but the lowest frequencies anyway, and since bass is almost invariably recorded onto disc as mono, a minor amount of crosstalk at low frequencies is of no consequence - even if it were possible by this means, which it generally is not.
Alternatively, they are useful if you want to have the shortest possible speaker leads. The amp can be installed next to the speaker, and a very short lead used to connect the two. Then we create a problem with the low level interconnects, which will be of significant length. There is far more chance of interference and high frequency loss in long interconnects than in speaker cables, so ideally the interconnects should be low impedance balanced circuits. Sadly, most monoblocks do not offer this essential option.
I have seen reviews, and claims by amplifier designers, that for this amp to sound good, it must have a fast power supply. A power supply does not have speed - high, low or otherwise ... unless it is regulated.
Anecdote: A regulated supply will have a finite ability to maintain its output voltage as the load varies - this is well known in engineering circles, and can cause problems if it is not fast enough.
I have worked on power supplies (many years ago) that were used to power the head positioning amplifiers in the old washing machine sized computer disk drives. One of the tests that we needed to run was a switched load - varying the load from about 0.1 of the rated current to full current repeatedly.
Detectors were used to measure how far the output voltage dropped when the full load was applied, and I designed the circuit to do this. It was fairly fast, and would latch a 'Fail' LED if the output fell below a predetermined limit for more than about 1µs. BTW, the low voltage limit was set at only about 1V below the rated output voltage, which was 24V if I remember correctly.
Bear in mind that there is no audio signal that can cause an amplifier to go from quiescent current to full output in anything near 1µs. A 20kHz signal has a period of 50µs, and full power at 20kHz will fry your tweeters in seconds.
So, speed is valid for a regulated supply for a critical application, but is completely meaningless for a power amplifier with an unregulated supply - which is 99.9% of them. There is no audio signal that is so fast that it will demand power from perfectly ordinary electrolytic capacitors faster than they can supply it. It is not necessary (other than for radio frequency bypassing) to use polyester caps in parallel with the main electrolytic filter caps, and nor is there any valid reason to specify that 100,000µF (or any other outlandishly expensive number) is needed to power an amp so the supply will be 'fast'.
A standard electrolytic (say, 10,000µF) will have an equivalent series resistance (ESR) of perhaps 0.01 Ohm, which means that it has an internal time constant of about 100µs. More significant is the fact that discharge current is limited by ESR, so if charged to 50V, the maximum current available is 5,000A peak - this is a lot of current! In fact it is so high that it can destroy the cap itself - this is a very good reason not to use a screwdriver to discharge a power supply, well apart from the fact that a decent amount of capacitance will take the end off a small screwdriver.
If this 50V supply is connected to a 8 Ohm speaker via an amplifier, the maximum current the speaker will draw is 6.25A (although some speakers will demand more at certain frequencies). In reality it will be far less than this most of the time. I can make a power supply 'slow', simply by placing some resistance in series - the caps will no longer be able to discharge at their maximum rate. Will this affect an amplifier? Only in that the maximum power will no longer be achieved, but this will also happen if the AC mains supply is 10% low. Does this somehow degrade the sound of an amplifier? I think not.
Massive capacitance and 'audiophile' grade caps are not going to improve the sound of the DC from your supply, regardless of cost or claim. The power supply is a passive part of the amplifier, and has little or no influence on the sound, unless grossly and ingeniously poorly designed. I say 'ingeniously', because it would take spectacular incompetence to so badly design a power supply that it audibly affected the sound at any signal level below clipping. From some of the posings I have seen on various bulletin boards, such incompetence may well be rife, since just changing a power lead makes them audibly better .
The editorial page has a pair of prime examples of 'Special Designs', including a more detailed examination of the sample below. See I am as Mad as Hell for more info.
I recently saw information on the web about an amp whose claims to fame (infamy, more like it) were along the following lines (this is taken from the site)
Oh, wow, and ... I mean ... like ... who gives a toss! This amplifier sold for some astronomical sum, and as near as I could tell from the advertising blurb, seems to use a couple of IC power amps as the entire circuit. The power supply was separate (and had an even sillier name than the power amp).
So the amp has few components and a short signal path. What about the several hundred metres of standard professional class cable and very long signal paths that are common in the mixers that were used in the recording studio? Is this 'magical' short signal path going to somehow make that all go away - somehow I doubt it. Since this amp does use a power opamp, the manufacturer obviously does not count the 30 or so transistors inside the device - why not? They are real, whether you acknowledge them or not.
As for the 'world's shortest negative feedback path'. So what? The claim was made that by doing this, power supply bypass capacitors that by some mystical process ruin the sound were not needed. What rubbish. My 60W power amp has a negative feedback path that is about 50mm long - in other words, typical. Because of its design, it will operate perfectly happily with no power supply bypass capacitors too - the result is greatly reduced power because of the resistance of the power leads. Do you want that? Does this sound like a good idea? No, I didn't think so either.
The one I liked best (or least, depending on how you think I read this nonsense) was the 'world's smallest filter capacitors'. What possible benefit - other than profit maximisation - does this infer? I honestly have no idea. I could run my amp with 1000µF caps too. Anyone can. The immediate result is a dramatic reduction in power, as ripple voltage is very high at any reasonable power level, and you start to get clipping as the ripple voltage encroaches on the audio signal. Ah, but we also have 'powerful voltage regulation' and a high capacity transformer. Big deal. I can run my amp off a 10kVA transformer if I want to, and it won't change the sound one iota. Anyone can make a voltage regulator (assuming that one is actually used, which I doubt), but why? Extra heatsinks, more stuff to fail, and zero sonic benefit.
I won't even bother discussing the 'dual mono construction', but I am intrigued by the 'rigid and compact aluminium chassis to release vibrations smoothly'. Quite apart from the fact that being rigid and compact in no way ensures that vibrations will be released smoothly or otherwise, I am at a complete loss as to why anyone might think for an instant that this was important. This is an amplifier, not a speaker cabinet. Left to their own devices, amplifiers don't normally vibrate - this is not one of their characteristics. Are we supposed to believe that a power amp is in some way microphonic?
Try this (if you dare). Place your ear as close as possible to the speaker, and have someone drop the power amp a short distance while powered on and connected. What do you think is the chance that you will hear anything from the speaker (other than if the amp destroys itself when it is dropped)? I will tell you, to save the embarrassment of having to explain to the service guy what happened to the amp. Nothing, that's what. If these clowns have managed to make an amp that is microphonic, then I definitely don't want one.
I thought about this one for a while, and it finally made it into my 'Hall of Infamy' - the editorial. You can read more about it there (see above).
Many is the claim that opamps have a distinctive sound, and can readily be heard in audio equipment. Discrete designs supposedly sound superior, regardless of the fact that in many cases they will measure worse than even a cheap opamp.
I have never been able to measure an opamp's distortion, because it is so far below my equipment's limits that it cannot be detected. Devices are available with distortion as low as 0.00008% - this is close as you can get to the ideal 'straight wire with gain'. The bandwidth of the better devices is so wide that significant gain is available at 100kHz, so phase irregularities and response problems are non-existent in sensible designs.
Considering the fact (and in the vast majority of cases, it is fact) that the final mixed down signal you get from a CD has passed through up to 100 opamps at various stages of production before you even get to listen to it, it is ludicrous to assume that not using opamps in the last 1% of the audio chain will have any audible effect.
Valve amplifiers are back, with units in all sorts of configurations selling for astounding sums.
The valve sound is one phenomenon that is real. It has been known for a long time that listeners sometimes prefer to have a certain amount of second-harmonic distortion added in, and most valve amplifiers provide just that, due to huge difficulties in providing good linearity with modest feedback factors.
While this may well sound nice, hi-fi is supposedly about accuracy, and if the sound is to be modified in this manner, it should be set from the preamp front panel by a control (Douglas Self suggests a 'niceness' knob).
Valves offer some advantages - their overload characteristics are smoother than solid state designs, so even when clipping the sound is less harsh. While this is most desirable for a guitar amplifier that will be operating into clipping for much of the time, it is unhelpful for hi-fi, where clipping should be avoided altogether.
Valve amps also have much higher output impedance than transistor amps, and this makes some speakers sound better. It also makes other speaker sound worse, so the results are unpredictable.
There are few modern transistor amps that will measure worse than any valve amp, regardless of cost. Indeed, the vast majority are so superior in all respects that it is difficult to justify using valves in anything other than guitar amps, where, despite much advertising hype, no transistor amp has ever been able to sound exactly the same as a valve unit. Close - but not the same.
The rash of single-ended directly heated triode monoblock amplifiers of late is something that astonishes me. These will typically have a distortion of 1 to 3%, are of low power - typically less than 10W, and have no redeeming features (IMHO).
Such an amplifier generates large amounts of second-harmonic distortion, due to the asymmetry of single-ended operation, and needs a very large output transformer because the primary carries the full DC anode current, and core saturation must be avoided. The inherent distortion of an iron cored inductor or transformer is ever-present, and only global feedback can remove it.
High values of feedback around a transformer are extremely difficult, because the phase irregularities generally cause the amplifier to oscillate. This may have been the state of the art 50 years ago, but there is no sensible reason to go back. Next we will hear someone extolling the virtues of the wax cylinder as having superior sonics to vinyl or CD (needless to say these superior sonics will be "very subtle" and "only audible with the finest (i.e. most expensive) single ended triode monoblock amplifier").
In one review, a single ended triode amplifier yielded 3% THD at 9 Watts, at a cost of $3400 [4]. This is an appalling result for a very expensive single channel amp. The amplifiers in powered computer speakers are better than that!
Despite all of the above, I have no doubt that many of these amps sound delightful. Not exactly my cup of tea, but having used valve amps of many types over the years (including those I designed and built myself), I still like the sound of them. They also don't blow up with difficult loads - they may stress out a little and give less power than normal, but they survive. The majority of valve amps are far less forgiving of open circuits (no speakers connected), and some will fail if pushed hard into an open circuit. The typical failure mode is a high voltage flashover, which either carbonises the valve socket or base (or both), or causes the insulation in the output transformer to fail.
The trend towards having these hot 'bottles' out in full view, and able to be touched (and / or broken) by age challenged persons (the rug-rats) is a definite safety hazard. I would not like anyone's kids to be able to burn and then electrocute themselves in one small mishap.
.... However - I do (or did until recently) use a valve preamp in my own system, and I have no idea what that says about me. It does sound nice, but I am probably deluding myself in thinking that it is better than my solid-state preamp. That's fine for me, because I designed and built it, so it didn't cost me a king's ransom.
There are many very fine loudspeakers available, and interestingly, although these have a far greater effect on the sound that you hear than the amplifier, there is nowhere near the controversy with loudspeakers as seems to be evident with the rest of the audio chain.
Certainly there are proponents of various crossover alignments, the benefits or otherwise of vented boxes versus sealed, but otherwise this seems to be a reasonably sensible (even if intimidatingly expensive) field of endeavour.
Most audiophiles have their favourite speaker system(s), and these will all have some undesirable characteristics, for such is the state of the art. The perfect loudspeaker does not exist, because of the physics of making electro-mechanical objects with finite mass react in a completely predictable manner at all frequencies. This (of course) is something that speakers cannot do.
A flat frequency response is desirable, and rapid decay of internal resonances means that the loudspeaker contributes a minimum of its own sound to that from the source. Good quality drivers and well braced, non resonant cabinets, combined with high quality components in crossover networks and a sensible approach to ensure that phase irregularities at the crossover frequencies do not cause response or impedance peaks and dips are common in most quality systems.
The listening room and the recorded material has a very great influence on the final sound you hear, vastly more than a few interconnects or a mains lead. No-one is going to make the listening room anechoic, and nor would you want to. The positioning of speakers is one thing that can have a profound effect on the sound, but this is so often completely ignored.
One problem is that the optimum placement of speakers for sound quality will often be completely inappropriate to the layout of the room, meaning that a livable area is no longer available, and causing much friction between the listener and s/he who must be obeyed.
Bear in mind that building a speaker system without measurements is futile. The ear (and attached brain) is easily fooled, and has a very short memory for what you hear. Speakers can have huge anomalies in response, and within a few minutes the brain has made the necessary adjustments, and everything will seem to sound as it should.
Try this experiment. If you have a graphic or parametric equaliser, reduce a band somewhere in the midrange area (say, between 500Hz and 1kHz). Listen to the system for about 15 minutes, then restore the missing frequency range. Suddenly, the system will sound as if it has a huge peak in the midrange, and for a time will sound awful. Within another 15 minutes or so, everything will have settled back to normal.

Fender Custom Shop Wildwood 10 Relic-Ready 1959 Jazzmaster
Overview Video
Relic-Ready to RumbleOver the years, Wildwood Guitars has sold thousands of relic'd Fender guitars. The incredible response that we've gotten from our Wildwood Tens is proof that most of the guitar-playing world loves instruments that marry modern convenience with vintage look, feel, and sound. We've also learned that there are plenty of pickers out there that like the distressed vintage look, but feel a little strange about playing a guitar that they didn't relic themselves through everyday use. For these guitarists, each ding and scratch is a punctuation mark in the story of their instrument, and they want to be in charge of what happens in the tale of their axe.
Obviously, this is easier said than done. If you want to make an NOS finish look vintage through good 'ol fashioned playwear, you usually have to play it for so long that it actually becomes vintage in the process. You could put your guitar in a trash bag of burned leaves and relic it yourself like one of my coworkers, but your house will smell horrible the moment you bring it inside. Frankly, few people have enough resources, energy, or training to make it look as good as the Fender Custom Shop's builders can.
So, these players have been in a pickle until now. How do you make a new guitar look vintage without having to wait thirty years or resort to crazy schemes involving bags of burning leaves? Well, we at Wildwood Guitars are proud to introduce our answer: a new line of Wildwood Tens that we have dubbed "relic-readies."
These Custom Shop creations are just like the heavy-relic guitars that have been a shop staple for years—same wood, same electronics, same hardware, and same outstanding build quality—except we snatch them away from Fender before they have a chance to actually do the relic job. The result is a guitar that accumulates wear-and-tear at an exponentially higher rate than normal. So, it'll look like a guitar that's been gigged for thirty years after just a couple birthdays. Finally, YOU can be the one to make your guitar look vintage!
After playing and ogling the first batch of these guitars, we feel confident that this line is easily one of the coolest collaborations in the history of our friendship with Fender's Custom Shop! At Wildwood, we've been doing our best to tell our guitars' stories as faithfully as we can for thirty-four years. Now, we are excited to step aside and give the reins to our exceptional customers. What sort of interesting tales will you carve into these finishes? We can't wait to find out with you!

Colorado, fiction, Jack Kerouac, literature, On the Road, Road trip, Selah Saterstrom, The Pink Institution, West, Writing
Is anyone else consumed by a giddy, punch drunk urge to steal a car and drive aimlessly through mountain valleys well past dawn…not because I'm bored or feel like living dangerously, but simply because I need something to write about.
Imagining it isn't enough. Before it can become language, it has to be life.
I'll simply watch On the Road trailers
read my favorite Kerouac quotes, and dream over coffee of breaking through that blue shield of sky.
It's been a few years since I first packed up my books, stuffed several boxes in the belly of my dodge neon, and headed out west filled by dreams of Kerouac and Dean, and the goal of burning, burn baby burn, like roman candles.
"The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!" – Jack Kerouac, On the Road
I longed to be mad, to live a life worth writing about. I had spent years crafting my present as though it were fiction. There were dark edges and dark characters, frantic lights, and houses lined with mattresses, open windows and doors cracked at their hinges. There were road trips and desperate lovers, the whole pulse of the cities I imagined compressed into single moments that threatened to burst and never stop overflowing.
I longed to write it all, on scrap napkins and the back side of street corner menus, between the lines of the books I kept in the back of my car. I would peddle my words on street corners, and die young atop a mound of unfinished manuscripts and paper napkins, happy and ever unsatisfied.
Then I moved out west, beyond the lines and edges of Cleveland – that mistake by the lake where my grandfather drank, fished, and drilled rivets into the sides of minivans.
There was the reality of it all, that desperate and near sick reality of living the life of a beatnik poet (often without the poetry part), of waiting tables, reciting poetry for $1 on downtown pearl street, Whiskey Wednesdays, and countless hours lost to frantic conversations, handsome men with awful voices and cheap guitars. I ate at Whole Foods those first six months, hitting up the samples for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. I walked for hours and then, ran for hours more, to fill the time.
And then there was the way that that reality was remembered. How it shifted and grew between my tongues. My reality became my working fictions which I shaded, protected, and allowed to flourish unrestricted.
As I write the fictionalized narrative of my mother's island, I begin to slowly realize how our realities slowly become fictions and how our fictions, then, become our realities.
And this is the point – the edges of our fictions slip within the promise of our reality until the two are indistinguishable from one another.
As a writer, this raises questions about the limits of my expressions, where the lines are and how they may shift or break under the pressure. What is off limits? What is fair game? What can be twisted, transformed? What is real and what isn't? And do I have a right to make this distinction?
A writer and brilliant mentor, Selah Saterstrom composed a work of fiction many years back titled, "The Pink Institution." This is a fictional work that describes the paradoxes and harsh contradictions of a Southern Belle growing within the shadow of a dark past and an uncertain, modern future. While fictionalized, much of the content was taken from overhead stories and dialogues and then shaped within the narrative.
Upon publication, her family grew to unknown levels of outrage. She was ostracized in every sense of the word, called unspeakable names, and banished in a very old-fashioned way. They still haven't spoken to her.
This is the danger of being a writer and of writing fiction. Regardless of how sensational my stories are, they have their roots within my reality or the reality of another.
I understand the laws of copyright and so forth, but where is my responsibility to the fictions and realities of others?

President Moon Jae-in on Sunday offered words of encouragement to South Korean short track skaters who garnered one gold and one bronze in their matches at the PyeongChang Winter Olympics a day earlier.
In his posts on Facebook and Twitter, Moon called them the "world's strongest," praising their efforts to "push their limits" to make it to the quadrennial games that run until next Sunday.

"I appreciate the efforts by our national short track representatives who are the world's strongest," Moon said. "(At the stadium), I more deeply felt how much sweat you shed and how much trouble you went through over the last four years."
On Saturday, Moon and first lady Kim Jung-sook visited the Gangneung Ice Arena where South Korean athletes competed in the women's 1,500-meter short track speed skating and men's 1,000-meter short track event.
Choi Min-jeong captured her first Olympic gold, blowing away the field to win the women's 1,500m. Seo Yi-ra won bronze for his first Olympic medal in the men's 1,000m.
"Your challenge has yet to end. Make sure you don't get injured, and let us do our utmost until the end," Moon said. "Along with the citizens, (I will) root for you." (Yonhap)
