New and Selected Poems.
By Marie Ponsot.
233 pp. New York: Alfred A. Knopf. $25.
ONE of the best things about being an American is that you are free to dislike poetry for any reason you want. You can say it's too clever or too dumb; you can think it's old-fashioned or pointlessly trendy; you can protest that it has nothing to do with real life or you can complain that it's mostly about Volkswagens and mastectomies. Whatever line you take, there will be room for your opinion in our larger, national antipathy for this snotty, boring, passé art form. And this, surely, is what democracy is all about.
Yet ignoring poetry has its drawbacks. For one thing, it causes us to miss out on the pleasure of seeing our worst expectations exceeded. Some poems aren't just bad; they are stupendously awful, and reading them is even more fun than watching drunken confessions on ''Cops.'' By the same token, though, sometimes a collection of poems appears that isn't actually bad at all; that is, on the contrary, serious, persuasive and entertaining; that is -- it can happen -- a great book. Marie Ponsot's ''Springing'' is that kind of collection. Ponsot won't be a familiar name to most people (not even to some poets) because she's just turned 81, and her jacket photo, while appealing, lacks the Stevie Nicks-meets-Simone Weil allure that is usually the best way to sell a contemporary poet. On top of that, Ponsot is a pruner. She has published only five books (including this one) in her lifetime, and they're all short.
Short, but accomplished. Ponsot is a love poet, a metaphysician and a formalist, but she is neither sappy nor tedious nor predictable. And she isn't cozy. Older poets -- particularly older female poets -- are often held up as representatives of all that is ''life-affirming,'' but Ponsot's best work has a dry bite that would make lunch meat out of Oprah, to say nothing of Dr. Phil. Her most recent collection, for example, began with a poem entitled ''I've Been Around: It Gets Me Nowhere,'' and Ponsot followed that up with a poem suggesting that the loss of old memories and feelings ''will empty me / too emptily / and keep me here / asleep, at sea / under the guilt quilt, / under the you tree.'' As tough as she is, though, Ponsot's sensibility is generally quirky rather than caustic; like Stevie Smith or Amy Clampitt, she cultivates an eccentricity that allows her to get her points across on the sly, even if it makes the occasional poem the verbal equivalent of your crazy aunt's feather boa.
A typical Ponsot poem decorates a traditional -- or at least orderly -- formal structure with askew descriptions (''a shine of laughing''), clots of assonance (''blackish package'') and absolutely horrendous puns (''Self-schooled I've been fish''). Though she has a wide tonal range, Ponsot is most likely to be rakish or wounded and least likely to be starchy or cold. When she writes, ''The stopped woods / are seized of quiet,'' you get the feeling it never occurred to her that the phrase could sound pompous -- which is a good thing, because in her poem, it doesn't. Ponsot also has an attentive ear, and likes to show it off with gaudy stress exercises like the spondee-fest that begins her poem ''Pathetic Fallacies Are Bad Science But'': ''If leaf trash chokes the stream-bed, / reach for rock-bottom as you rake / the muck out.'' Reading a lot of this can be like eating a bucket of peanut butter. But Ponsot's baroque tendencies are usually winning: she seems to be having a good time, to be taking pleasure in her craft, and her enthusiasm is contagious even when the special effects don't quite come off.
In any case, spectacle is secondary to Ponsot's work. No matter how much a poem may strain after play, Ponsot ultimately drives it toward a point or moral, as if Gerard Manley Hopkins were being manhandled midspring by Alexander Pope. Appropriately enough, this impulse often leads her to anchor her work with epigrams. Her sonnets, for example, frequently rely on concluding couplets that sum up in traditional Shakespearean fashion; as in, ''Patterns lapse in a bliss of signal mist / which concludes in the swim of the analyst.'' Even the new poems, which are stranger (and better) than her earliest writing, turn on epigrammatic conclusions, although here the language is looser and the wit more agile (''I think I've got whatever I need / in the overhead compartment''). This classical touch stabilizes Ponsot's work the way rhyme stabilizes Sylvia Plath's. And like Plath, Ponsot occasionally strays into near doggerel; for example, ''people penned in the scarred / yard stop at the metal / whistle blown hard.'' But where Plath uses this exaggerated form to convey aggression or desire (or, more frequently, both), Ponsot does so out of an assertive curiosity: she likes the sound of ''yard,'' so she's going to repeat it. This tactic doesn't water Plath down so much as pour similar energy into a differently shaped vessel; at her best, Ponsot has Plath's strangeness without her single-mindedness.
Ponsot is least effective when her Hopkinsesque phrasing provides cover for such thrown-together descriptions as ''the othering bliss of child'' or, worse, ''the faithing leap of sex.'' In these moments, Ponsot sounds less like the vigorous writer she is than a bright 15-year-old trying to Express her Individuality. She also lapses into fashionable prejudice on occasion; only a few pages away from a beautiful, complex tribute to her mother entitled ''Late,'' Ponsot manages to write about men as if they were all modeled on the Great Santini. ''Most males,'' she writes, behave ''as if they confuse / Marking with marring; as if. . . / they smash what they can't use.'' What's more, ''these July boys & men'' are ''trained not to listen for what their lives mean / But to beat.'' It's certainly possible, and maybe even honorable, for a poet to challenge the ethos of power and competition that pervades contemporary life, but it would be nice if Ponsot could do it without using clichés about what brutes guys are.
It seems petty to criticize Ponsot for these mistakes, though, because they are the necessary consequence of her ambitious style: if you're going to be vivid, sometimes you're going to be vividly wrong. What's surprising is how often she's right. Ponsot's average work is good, and her strongest work -- the work she should be judged by -- is terrific. Her villanelle ''Northampton Style'' begins:
Evening falls. Someone's playing
a dulcimer
Northampton-style, on the porch out back.
Its voice touches and parts the air of summer,
as if it swam to time us down
a river
where we dive and leave a single track
as evening falls. Someone's playing a dulcimer
that lets us wash our mix of dreams together.
Ponsot's signature quirkiness is here (''swam to time''), but matched to a quieter, more stately tone. Although the poem risks a cliché mood of bittersweet reflection (contemporary poetry's default mode), Ponsot's lines stand out for their craftsmanship. The hard rhyme (''back,'' ''track'') prevents the poem from becoming euphonious, and prepares us for a shift toward a more awkward subject -- mortality -- later in the poem. Here's how Ponsot makes that move: ''A small breeze rises and the leaves stir / as uneasy as we, while the woods go black; / its voice touches and parts the air of summer / and lets darkness enter us; our strings go slack / though the player keeps up his plangent attack. / Evening falls. Someone's playing a dulcimer; / its voice touches and parts the air of summer.''
Will this undermine global capitalism or take the pulse of Schrödinger's cat? No, but the challenges the poem takes on are real, and the poet makes her work in overcoming them seem natural. That's an accomplishment. And accomplishments like this, carried over eight decades, five books and a puzzling absence from contemporary anthologies -- all in the face of book sales that are dwarfed by the ghostwritten autobiographies of pop stars -- are what American art is all about. That may sound like bleak news for artists, but there are advantages to writing poetry with the exhilarating integrity that Marie Ponsot demonstrates in this new book. For one thing, long after the last episode of ''The West Wing'' has vanished, someone might read one of her poems, think, ''Now that is cool,'' and afterward imagine himself in terms conceived partly through Ponsot's writing. Of course, at that point, many of us may no longer be alive.
Which, when you think about it, is just another reason to hate poetry.

This shot was taken by Keith Melton, who was assisting me during the shoot. We were shooting model Carlise Lamb at the Preston Mill. The model, an accomplished ballet dancer, framed herself in the doorway, en pointe, barefoot. Ouch! From this, I captured a silhouette that has become one of my most viewed and acclaimed photos, and somewhat of an identifying trademark of mine. It remains one of my favorite images.

There's been an influx of marketing material over the years. Through Facebook, YouTube and Google+, we're seeing an increase in explainer videos for multiple business models and types. Do you want to know why? They work like a charm.
Whiteboard explainer videos broke the barrier on this revolutionary marketing platform. When you go through microtask website like Fiverr and Task Rabbit, you're going to see a lot of graphic design artists, and you'll even get some examples of their work. Here's what you need to know to stand apart from the crowd:
Small Businesses Remain on The Bottom
Most small business owners aren't going to take a look at top-quality explainer videos. Inexpensive whiteboard videos that last sixty seconds, and don't have a voice over artist to entice your viewers, is essentially a waste of your time and money.
Your content needs to be engaging. When these video types first came out, they consumed our attention like a snake devours its meal. With everything entertainment related, we grow out of habits and trends, and seek out evergreen quality. In this case, it's a fully-narrated and animated explainer video.
Three Rules For Engaging Content
You need to follow three steps, in this order, to get the absolute best out of your explainer video. Even on microtask websites, you'll see some services charging upwards of $250.00 per explainer video, especially with Fiverr's new Pro option for hand0-vetted sellers. Follow these steps to ensure you're going to get a top-quality explainer video.
- Seek Out A Script Writer
Seems excessive, doesn't it? Explainer videos have to hit on every single mark. They use a lot of buzz words right out of the gate to engage your readers and keep them enticed. An average explainer video is between 2:30 and 3:30; no longer than a punk rock song. These are short enough that people will stick around, and long enough to get your point across. A scriptwriter will know exactly what to do.
- Hire A Voice Over Artist
It's time to vocalize that script. Scriptwriters will keep the verbal aspect in mind, and your artist will have an easy time reading it. For a good artist, you'll expect to pay $0.03 per word or higher. When you really think about it, you'll be paying between $30.00 and $50.00 for high-quality audio content.
- The Graphic Artist
Graphic artists, who specialize in explainer videos, actually make a living doing this due to the ever expanding need for these crucial business models. You need an artist who can produce that lengthy video for you, work based off of the audio content you provide, and use infographics alongside the voice to create engaging, fun content. They should also be able to provide a light musical overlay to play as a backdrop to the voice.
If you're serious about your business, set yourself a $500.00 budget; you'll have a bit of coin left over at the end, and walk out with an exceptional piece of evergreen marketing material.

Copper is used on our 3D ranges (heads and spacers) offering timeless quality with corrosion-free durability. This precious metal naturally achieves a verdigris effect over a period of time. A lacquer spray can be used to prolong the polished effect and delay the development of the natural patina. The 3D bodies are handcrafted from beaten copper sections and brazed. The brazing will be visible, but this does not tend to detract from the overall good looks of our copper weathervanes.
Cast brass fittings are used for the cardinal points (NSEW) on our 3D polished copper weathervanes.
Steel is used for the rotation rods and standard bracket mount on the 3D weathervanes. The steel is coated with an exterior quality powder coat paint for extended life.
The weathervane rods and mounts are coated with an exterior quality powder coat paint which protects the steel and offers a durable finish. You can expect this finish to look good for quite some time! For extended life, we suggest giving the mount a coat of Hammerite paint.

Home staging and renovation are key means used to improve the attractiveness of a home before it is listed for sale. While it has been forecasted that this year will be somewhat similar to last year's, in most cases we recommend Lafayette CA homes for sale should be professionally staged by one of our experienced designers prior to going on-market. In many cases, we will also recommend limited, "face lifts" for certain homes where we believe that there will be a very high return on your investment. According to Realtor.com, property enhancement and home staging have been statistically proven as means to increase the sale price of a property.
According to recent national reports, homes staged professionally tend to sell for more than 17% above similar homes not staged or renovated. We believe that those statistics are much too general and are overstated for Lafayette CA homes for sale. The value enhancement is significant with staging because it helps to present your home in a manner consistent with how buyers want to see it. Values are elevated with staging, but not typically in the double-digit range. However, accompanying renovations or minor "face lifts" of your home can offer the largest return on investment, and propel value enhancement into the range suggested by the above study.
In addition to the financial benefits of adequately preparing a home to be listed, there are also advantages in the form of shorter market time. Lafayette CA homes for sale that are staged or renovated before listing can be sold at a rate that is statistically 2.5 times faster than those sold and listed "as is." The more quickly a home sells, the higher the realized sales price. The longer a home is on the market, the more the market discounts its price.
When considering renovation and design elements to enhance your home prior to sale, reviewing some of the more popular trends for 2016 in the compilation below could also prove helpful:
- Pastels: Pastel colors have been long associated with a bygone era of décor. While it may be hard to believe, decorators have predicted that softer tones like pale yellows, greens and peaches will integrate the color palette this year. These tones will be represented in both soft and hard materials used to furnish homes like furniture and window treatments. With that said, we always tend to steer clients away from trendy colors and themes, and to stick to classically tasteful design elements.
- Wood and natural components: Craftsman furniture and reclaimed wooden additions will continue to be a popular style choice for buyers shopping for Lafayette CA homes for sale. The popularity of these pieces will exceed that of furniture of a more mass-produced appearance.
- Green concepts: Environmentally conscious buyers will seek homes that align with their sensibilities. They favor homes that are healthy and cleanly designed using sustainable products. These homes will also be alluring if they are minimal and multifunctional in their design. This concept is especially true in high use rooms like kitchens and great rooms. While green homes are very important for sustaining our environment, we don't believe that sellers derive the complete associated costs upon resale. On the other hand, sellers should avoid composite materials that are known for off-gassing and may pose health risks to some, or steer others away from your home due to health concerns.
- Stainless Steel Appliances: A streamlined and modern kitchen that is both functional and sleek will draw more interest than one with countless features. Buyers are looking for kitchens with highly functional, high quality appliances that stand up to the wear and tear of family, entertaining, and everyday use. Investing in renovations that improve these qualities in your kitchen can be a very financially wise investment.
Overspending is always a concern for sellers when preparing a property for listing. We frequently counsel prospective clients on where they will see a favorable return on investment, and where they are better off saving their money. Strategically investing in your home prior to sale can yield a substantial ROI.

Looking for a funny, deeply moving, musical Christmas show that will entertain audiences of all ages and backgrounds?…A critically acclaimed musical that can be produced with as few as 10 actors or with as many as 30? Then look no further! When "A Southern Christmas Carol" premiered in 2003, critics called it "good fun…a hoot that warms the heart"… "Lovely, there's no other single word to describe it…Charles Dickens himself couldn't have written a better account of the spirit of Christmas. At least not Christmas in 1933 Depression-ridden Southwest Georgia." In "A Southern Christmas Carol," award-winning playwright Rob. Lauer moves the classic tale of Scrooge from ...Read More

Reader who were around for pastygate will know that one of my dietary weaknesses is savoury things wrapped in pastry. Pies, pasties, sausage rolls – they call me like cake or ice cream call other folk. However while I was flicking through Slimming World magazine the other day I saw an intriguing idea. It was pie, but instead of having a full pastry top and base, it was a pot pie with just little strips of pastry over the top. 25g of pastry to be precise Psychologically it was pie, but calorie wise, it was like an eighth of a pie.
A quick trip to the supermarket armed me with roughly 40 times more puff pastry than I actually needed and after a short defrost there I was up to my arms in flour rolling it out into little strips and having flashbacks of afternoons at my nan's house. Look, this is how it went into the oven.
It came out pretty well. The filling was ham, chicken, mushrooms, onions, carrots and green beans simmered with stock and a few other bits and bobs (although I admit I had the beans on the side – green beans have no place in pie as far as I'm concerned) and very tasty it was too. However the real surprise was that the topping strips were fantastic. They satisfied my pastry craving but for just 95 calories.
Even The Boyfriend was impressed. Although admittedly I put a full top on his, he was concerned enough re the whole 'pot' pie plan. I caught him looking at the recipe and muttering something about shortcrust and sacrilege. I didn't dare risk putting him into pastry strip shock.
It's now on my list of successful recipes which is a bit of luck as I still have about 900gm of pastry left. Here's the finished product
If you want to try the recipe yourself, there's still time. It's in the current issue of Slimming World mag that's on sale until December 20th. It's the Easy Chicken, Ham and Mushroom Pies on page 65.

I saw that in the mag but wasn't sure it would be 'pie-y' enough, but it looks good, and if it tastes good too then I might just have to give it a go! Anything to help that could help me get back on plan is good haha!↓
It is really good – I was impressed. Definitely making it again↓

As I see our American society today we are at the tipping point, the fulcrum being the foundation of what America will look like the next 100 years. On one side of the lever are those who "want to make America great again," and on the other end of the board is a conglomerate of Millennials and Gen Z, of all colors and persuasions, who have little knowledge of the "before," but are grounded in what they daily see around them.
It is clear that the advantage is with the newer generations. They will win. The only question is how much damage, direct and collateral, to our society and our environment during this civil war. It appears those now in control continue accelerating their "rape and pillage" mentality, rolling back environmental laws put in place over the last 100 years by those who understood at least some of the values needed to preserve our natural resources, and attempting to change laws protecting women, infants, poor and elderly people, all in the name of their "God."
So the next few years will tell the final tale, as some factors such as global warming may go beyond any retrievable dynamic, setting the conditions for Earth's ultimate demise as a habitable, heavenly creation. Moreover, if certain measures being implemented by the current "old school" reach full criticality, such as rolling back Roe vs. Wade, killing Medicaid and reducing Medicare, messing with Social Security, inflicting untold misery on those seeking asylum at the foot of Lady Liberty, and continuing to start wars that they themselves never personally have to fight, then the next 100 years of potential will be sucked into cleaning up the muck they are spreading.
I remain positive however, and know the energy of the younger generation to effect the needed changes is limitless. They are "woke," and "overstand" clearly what they must do.

From Cllr. Jeane Lepper – Chair: Hollingdean Local Action Team
On Wednesday 29th October over 40 Hollingdean residents came to the Community Centre to tell Mike Best, from Brighton and Hove Buses, their views about changes to the 50 bus service. This followed a meeting in August, before the changes took place, when people told Mr Best how the changes were likely to affect them.
Buses are now reduced to four an hour and no longer go to Brighton Station, except early morning. Two of these buses do a long detour to Falmer to serve the universities.
It was clear that a lot of the residents fears have been realised. Journey times are taking far longer and passengers often have to change buses. We heard from residents who had lost money as they are consistently late for work. We were also told of overcrowding on the buses going to Churchill Square and young families with pushchairs unable to get on them. However the buses going to Falmer seem to have plenty of spaces.
Mike Best promised to take on board these concerns when drawing up the Spring 2015 timetable changes. He has also agreed to come back to another meeting before those changes are finalised.
It is important that people experiencing problems at the moment continue to make their views known to the Bus Company. Mike Best can be contacted on firstname.lastname@example.com or at: Brighton and Hove Buses, 43 Conway Street, Hove. BN3 3LT.

Betty was the oldest of the five girls in Momma's family. She was an x-ray technician when I was very young, then moved into administration and something to do with insurance for a private hospital for children. Work was always a big part of who she was. She was a career woman in an era when everyone was a stay-at-home mom.
She married Walter when I was in first grade. I remember because everyone came to school--the Catholic church next door to school to be exact. It was a big deal to see my aunts and uncles all dressed up. Some of my older cousins got to skip class to attend the ceremony.
Walter is a postcard from the late 40s and early 50s. He smoked a pipe, sported thick glasses, and always wore a white shirt, short-sleeved or long depending on the season, pleated pants, wingtips, and a skinny tie. He was a higher up in the county tax commissioner's office--a career bureaucrat. He had a amazing train track set-up with mountains, bodies of water, small towns, and farms. When we were very young, he would sometimes put on his conductor cap and run the trains for us. He also fed the ducks and other water birds that hung out at a city pond in the park behind their house.
Betty and Walter never had children. As the oldest girl in single-parent family with eight kids, Betty probably had her fill of raising children well before she married. Betty was the typical oldest sister--a bit bossy and quick to point out to her siblings the error of their ways. She was also the one everybody ran to anytime they needed anything. She always helped, and rarely said a word about it--to anyone.
Betty and Walter often hosted potluck picnics, especially around Memorial Day or Labor Day. These were much more sedate than the big Fourth of July blow-outs, but similar in that the aunts and some of my uncles would sit at card tables in the shade playing bridge. It was not unusual to have as many as three tables going at one of these family picnics. From time to time they'd call out for one of us to come sit in for them while they took a break from the game. Most of the cousins know the fundamentals of bridge.
These bridge games were often loud and boisterous, especially as time went on. None of the aunts was ever wrong about anything. Consequently, arguments would break out about proper bidding, what somebody should have done, and the best way to play the hand. The language would be enough on occasion to make a sailor blush. Everybody smoked. Given that the get together was associated with a holiday, alcohol flowed freely, too.
Betty was an avid supporter of University of Kentucky basketball and football. She was thrilled to have nieces and nephews with UK degrees. She praised us for our accomplishments and was quick to offer support to anyone that was struggling for whatever reason. She bought more interview, funeral, and wedding suits for various cousins than you could count.
I don't recall Betty or Walter ever saying a word about me being gay. They knew. Everyone did. My partner and I hosted the annual Fourth of July blow-out at our house for several years. They always came, and they always treated my partner like he was one of the family. Actions speak louder than words. They died, fairly close together, of cancer and were very well cared for--by my cousins--up to the very end.

The NDP's traditionally strong ties to the labour movement won't be enough to secure a blanket endorsement from Canada's largest private sector union in next year's federal election.
Unifor will urge its 300,000-plus members to vote strategically and will pour its resources behind the local candidates — be they NDP or Liberal — best positioned to defeat Stephen Harper's Conservatives.
The union infuriated many New Democrats when it took a similar stance in last spring's Ontario election in a bid to stop Tim Hudak's Progressive Conservatives.
In that case, Conservative support collapsed, allowing Kathleen Wynne's Liberals to cruise to a majority victory.
Unifor national president Jerry Dias says the union has a strong relationship with the federal NDP and will support re-election of all incumbent New Democrat MPs.
But he says the need to defeat the Harper government must trump Unifor's loyalty to the party.
"For us, we know that another four years of Harper will be disastrous for working class people in Canada, period. So, that in itself trumps going out there and putting support in a riding where we know that the New Democrats have no chance," Dias said in an interview.
"If the New Democrats have a legitimate, good shot at winning, absolutely that's where we're going, no question about it. But if there's not a hope in hell, why would I waste resources? It doesn't make a stitch of sense."
For example, in a riding like Manitoba's Brandon-Souris, where the Liberals came within a whisker of defeating the Conservatives in a byelection late last year, Dias said Unifor will throw its support and resources behind the Liberal candidate next year.
"The New Democrat got wiped right out (in the byelection). So for us to even consider supporting the New Democrats in Brandon-Souris, in my opinion, may very well just hand the seat back to the Conservatives."
The decision to pursue strategic voting in the next federal election was taken unanimously at a weekend meeting of Unifor's national council. Ironically, the gathering featured a keynote speech by NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, who announced his plan to reinstate a minimum wage for workers in federally regulated sectors, rising to $15 per hour over four years.
NDP labour critic Alexandre Boulerice conceded Unifor's decision is disappointing.
"Frankly, I would have preferred clear support for the NDP as the real choice for the next election," Boulerice said Thursday.
Still, he said most labour unions are solidly behind the NDP and it's no surprise Unifor is not among them, given its history of strategic voting. Unifor was formed last year from a merger of the Canadian Auto Workers and the Communications, Energy and Paperworkers unions.
The CAW endorsed Paul Martin's Liberals in the 2006 election in a failed bid to prevent Harper from becoming prime minister.
Dias acknowledged the labour movement has no stronger political ally than the NDP. But while Justin Trudeau's Liberals are less supportive of unions than the NDP, he said he doubts they're intent on destroying the movement, as he believes Harper's Conservatives are determined to do.
"So, if my choice is Stephen Harper or Justin Trudeau, then that's a no-brainer."
Dias said anti-union measures are "red meat" that Harper throws out to pacify "right-wing extremists" in the Conservative party.
He pointed to government and Conservative private members' bills which labour advocates complain would impose unfair financial transparency rules on unions, gut public service collective bargaining and make it harder for federally regulated workers to join a union while making it easier to decertify a union.
Unifor's refusal to unequivocally back the New Democrats in the Ontario election prompted more than 600 federal NDP parliamentary staffers, who are members of Unifor, to look for another union to represent them.
Anthony Salloum, president of the Unifor local that represents the staffers, said members will vote early next month to choose a new union home. They have three options: the United Steelworkers, the United Food and Commercial Workers or the International Association of Machinists.
All three "have indicated full support for the NDP," Salloum said.

The comedian Colin Quinn, it turns out, likes to bicker and complain. A lot.
In a dressing room at the Cherry Lane Theater, where his one-man show, "Colin Quinn: The New York Story," is playing through Aug. 16, the comedian first bickered with his cousin Tim Gage, who came in to use his iPhone charger. Then Mr. Quinn leapt into a tirade about political correctness.
"We're worse than Canada," he said on a recent Sunday night. "A country of social psychologists online."
This tied neatly into the themes of his show — homogeneity, plutocracy, technology — which he performed moments later to a sold-out crowd of 180, and which offered him a larger stage to complain.
Among the latest things about New York that irk him: that tourists never ask for directions anymore because of smartphone maps, and that the murder rate has fallen so low there's no material for "Law & Order" spinoffs.
"Most crime takes place at the Dalton School," he said. "It's like: 'Oh, no! Columbia Prep! The Bloods are up to it again.' "
All this kvetching is a little curious, since things are going awfully well for Mr. Quinn, 56, of late.
He has a popular web series called "Cop Show," a kind of spoof on "Law & Order," in which he plays a pompous actor starring in a police procedural. The Cherry Lane show, which is directed by Jerry Seinfeld, has been sold out since it went into previews in July, and it will return for a three-month engagement starting in October.
He also wrote a book this year, "The Coloring Book: A Comedian Solves Race Relations in America." (Sample sentence: "Black people hate white people more than any other group, yet we are your biggest fans.")
And this summer, he is a co-star in Amy Schumer's "Trainwreck," playing the protagonist's father, a perennially disappointed but nevertheless lovable rogue who helps instill but one value in his daughter: to thine own libido be true.
So was it exhausting to hear Mr. Quinn moan and groan all night? Au contraire, mon frère. He was actually delightful.
Mr. Quinn intersperses his monologues, onstage and off, with uncanny impersonations of virtually every ethnic group imaginable, including his own, Irish-American. There is also a menschy quality underneath his craggy exterior. He doesn't so much whine as offer amused resignation about the state of the world.
He's the sort of guy who, if you left your kids with him, would win them over by feeding them potato chips and letting them watch R-rated Bruce Willis action movies. He would also tell them never to get married and to ignore a summons for jury duty.
After his performance, Mr. Quinn was joined in his dressing room by the comedians Bonnie McFarlane and Rich Vos, who have turned their own marital bickering into a web series, "My Wife Hates Me."
"That yuppie shirt with all those tattoos," Mr. Quinn said, ribbing Mr. Vos about the sleeve of ink running down his arm.
"Shut up, you watered down Bogosian," Mr. Vos said. "Just shut up! And let me use your bathroom."
"I'd prefer if you didn't," Mr. Quinn said in a deadpan tone before allowing him to do just that.
After a quick wardrobe change, from corduroys to bluejeans, Mr. Quinn dashed down to SoHo to Bravo's studios to appear on "Watch What Happens Live," with Andy Cohen and Gina Gershon.
In a conference room there, a production assistant prepped Mr. Quinn for a game he was to play involving imaginary one-man shows. Which predictably was cause for even more complaining.
Mr. Quinn complained about Vin Diesel being on the list, as well as Björk and Ryan Seacrest. Then he complained about Caitlyn Jenner not being included.
"You can't make any Caitlyn Jenner jokes," he said. "But a month ago, you could make Bruce Jenner jokes all day. This list stinks. What's wrong with these people?"
Then, Mr. Quinn was perfectly charming when the cameras went live.

Good Morning Sir,
I do hope you are fine.
Sir, permit me to take some minutes of your time to read this message.
I was nominated to attend a sensitization session on Strategic Facilitators Network in Lokoja. This took off on WednesdayAug 1 till FridayAug 3.
The objective of the session was to educate new members and existing ones on how to achieve the core objectives of the Bank.
These would be achieved through passing information to and from staff in all the branches needed for the vision.
So let me go straight to the key thing here, on the last day we were to learn how to make presentation and pass information. I been very terrible with communication i just felt i wasn't good enough for this role but anyway i just attended and planned how i will keep escaping.
So the man to teach us public speaking gave us an interesting lecture , showed us Obama's speech that made him president and all other things. The he asked us to write down the names of two people and the personalities we liked about them.
I wrote down the former CBN governor, Sanusi Lamido( now the Emir of Kano) and the personality i admired is his BOLDNESS then the other person i wrote was a public speaker i have admired for years..( like 5 yrs) and told everyone about. So fast forward. I left Lokoja by 2.30 and gone to Abuja but my flight to lagos was scheduled at 7:45pm so i had to sit down till that time. Lucky for me i had my novel to complete so i got busy.
While i was reading, the guy next to me just uttered; jhow does intelligent kills? ( name of the book)…i did answer him but not with confidence i stuttered and i felt it was a terrible one😢. We got talking a bit then we were distracted by an airline that called its passengers only for passenger to return back to their sits with their meals + apology for delay of flight to Port- Harcourt or so.
Anyway i bidded him farewell as the airline i had paid for called us to board.
I boarded and sat on the seat by the aisle(17D) to be exact. This isn't my type of angle , i rather do window seat and also do seats with single digit so i can flee from the plane immediately after landing.
I sat down and brought out my book, how intelligent kills by Ikechukwu ofili. As i read, i look toward my left, those sitted on the other wing, on my line(17), i saw a guy by the window seat, i saw a lady in red dress i guess and i saw ….oh .. i saw the guy on the 17C seat, this guy, i have seen him before. No it cant be him, then i saw a glimpse of his phone,his screen saver, this is the picture i see on his site…oh its Muyiwa Afolabi😱😱😱😱😱.
I brought out my jotter and i checked the name of the public speaker i wrote down to be sure…it is the same Muyiwa Afolabi.
I was shocked but pretended to continue my book. I brought my jotter again to show you what i wrote down but the gut, the nerve were just not working.. i wanted to show you that you are my mentor and you are one of the people that have shaped my life through your teachings and daily message. I tune to your prog. 6:45am most times on cool fm. Thank you
Have you read the book , The secret? It talks about the law of attraction.. I have thought about some day meeting you and just that same morning i wrote down your name in my jotter. Then Nature decided to give me a chance to see you life but i didnt use the opportunity. Its ok. At least i saw you.
One day, i will be like you..I jus dont have the guts, the nerve to stand in from of a single person to talk. I stutter, incorrect grammar spills… I only find confidence in a small group and they must be people i have know for years.
Sorry for taking your time and also apology for too many ellipsis..They help me with words unspoken.
Good Evening Sir,
I will sincerely appreciate getting notice of your Seminars

BBG Workout Diet program – What you must know For Weight Loss

It is actually much like clockwork, the very first day of summer season arrives and I also offer an increase of consumers seeking to experience a more firm and skinnier body. Bikini diet programs will always be very well liked in this time of the year and bikini weight-loss could be an excellent motivator to dropping excess fat. On this page we are going to examine a diet regime bikini fanatics will like and the way you will have a skinnier and more firm body ahead of the finish of summertime. I am going to not move any punches right here. For many people, this will be a tricky experience but it is very feasible. There are a few essential key points to bear in mind if you would like succeed.
- You Have To Always keep Motivated: This is certainly difficult under typical conditions nevertheless is much more then when bikini weight reduction will be your target. If you want that body weight eliminated so you can get into that bikini, diets are in no way fast enough. All I could say is remain optimistic and patient; it can do devote some time to your body to respond to any new stimulus.
- Exercise Is Needed: When starting out and bikini weight loss is the sole thing on your mind, you are likely to need to do a bit more exercise then required for an ordinary weight loss program. Considering that our company is previously in the summer season and you want to obtain that fantastic body as quickly as possible to gain access to your bikini, weight loss plans with lower affect exercise applications will never be enough. Reduced affect exercise plans require that you workout 20 mins every three days. Customers needing to cut up and "diet plan bikini type" are required to have exercise software a bit more rigorous. When you have a gym regular membership then this might be a little easier for you as you will gain access to products that will assist you out yet it is not necessarily essential. The "diet program bikini fashion" exercise program needs a bit more time as bikini weight loss demands one to BBG Workout at least 30 minutes, every day. Any exercise is going to be fine as all exercises get rid of fat cells and assist strengthen your body so long as you workout for your 30 minutes.
- Ways of Eating: Many "experts" bikini diet plans will claim that you remove many types of meals to lose weight quicker.

Just over one month after the official release of Android Pie, OnePlus is rolling out its version of the update to the OnePlus 6. OxygenOS 9.0, the company's fork of Google's operating system, delivers many of the same improvements as stock Android, including a tweaked interface, gesture navigation, and adaptive battery functionality.
The speed at which OnePlus has rolled out this update is impressive given that many manufacturers can take months to update to the latest version of Android, if they do at all. Less than 15 percent of devices are running last year's Android Oreo, leaving 2016's Nougat as the most popular version of the software. Google's most recent attempt to fix the fragmentation issue is called "Project Treble," and it could explain OnePlus' speed in issuing this latest update.
OnePlus is also bringing Pie's functionality to a broad range of its phones. The company has announced that it will eventually bring the update to 2017's OnePlus 5 and 5T as well as 2016's OnePlus 3 and 3T. Yes, that means that the oldest phone to get an Android Pie update so far is a OnePlus device.

The average American city jump-starts the holiday season with the usual kind of merrymaking activities: tree-lighting festivals, the opening of ice skating rinks, and holiday concerts beckoning celebrants to get in the spirit.
But then there are cities and towns where the very name of the place conjures visions of sugar plum fairies, elves and reindeer 365 days a year. From Christmas Cove, Maine, to Saint Nicholas, Pa., and, of course, North Pole, Alaska, it's hard not to adopt the yuletide glow.

Councillors have backed calls to tackle BT over unsightly telephone boxes in Blackpool which attract criminal behaviour including drug dealing.
A call to write to the Home Secretary about the issue received unanimous support from both parties at a meeting of the full council last night.
Coun Alistair Humphreys had submitted a notice of motion saying while some pay phones are a community asset, others 'can also be a source of and cause of crime."
He said the council should call upon British Telecom 'to review its criteria for the removal of telephone boxes to take into account such crime and anti-social behaviour issues evidenced by responsible authorities'.
Coun Humphreys told the meeting he "didn't want to shut down all phone boxes", but a lot were being used for criminal purposes such as drug dealing.
He said: "Therefore I would like BT to take some sort of stance and if it's making a profit from these sort of actions it should take moral responsibility and if it's true, close it down."
Conservative group leader Coun Tony Williams said while some people did still need to use phone boxes, many of the booths "are smelly places to be, horrible environments and the people running them should do something."
He added: "Most of them are unkempt, dirty and are just boxes for adverts."
Coun Lynn Williams said the issue affected wards across the town.
She said: "They need to spend money on the ones that are used and bring them up to standard, and the ones that are used for nefarious purposes need to go."
The council agreed the chief executive should write to the Home Secretary to request its concerns be raised with telephone box providers.
BT says use of phone boxes has declined by more than 90 per cent in the last decade but any removal of payphones can only be done in line with current Ofcom guidelines.
It urges people to report any unsightly or damaged boxes but says removing them will not reduce anti-social behaviour.
However declining use means it continues to review and remove payphones which are no longer needed.
A spokesperson said: "Removing them will not stop people behaving anti-socially, the problems will just move elsewhere."
Damage to any payphones can be reported by calling Freephone number 0800 661 610."
