Rave Reviews
We would like to have your comments. Let us know how we are doing.
You guys are the best. I purchased a used loom, was going to have my nephew pick it up, break it down and ship it to me. Instead you broke it down, placed instructions on painters tape, and sent photos and books - gave me my childhood/adulthood desire in a box from Eugene! I was able to put it together the afternoon it arrived with only one dumb question to Suzie.
Suzie, Vickie and the folks at the Eugene Textile Center are amazing!

I really enjoy being at Eugene Textile Center! The people are very friendly and good vibes flow throughout.
Great place to learn about fiber art!
The staff is extremely helpful, friendly and well knowledge about anything and everything regarding textiles.

We ordered new cables for our HD loom as the original leather ones were breaking. The service from ETC was fabulous, both online and over the phone (and the new cables are good too).
David Herrick
there are so many wonderful things at the ETC. The fibers, equipment and best of all, the staff are fabulous. IT is one of my favorite places in Eugene. If they don't have what you are looking for they can get it for you.
The Shimmering Colors workshop with Bobbie Irwin was a great learning experience and fun with friendly classmates. Suzie and the ETC staff distinguish themselves with generous and friendly personalized service and support. Thanks!
This class is a combination of hands-on-learning and a generous overview of lichen biology, identification, and technique to extract an amazing variety of colors from dried up bits. Very knowledgeable teacher, great handouts, and good classroom space. You go home with two scarves you've created yourself, color yarn samples of eight different lichen dyes, and lots of low cost ideas for dyeing at home using lichens.
These are the nicest and most helpful folks. I just purchased a very high quality used loom from them. I highly recommend these very knowledgeable folks. They went beyond the call of duty to make my purchase a pleasant one.
Linda Cantwell
This shop is an amazing find! Suzie and her staff are more than willing to help with anything that you need. From loom selection to reading pattern drafts, ETC gives new meaning to service after the sale!

Comedian Gallagher stars in new Geico commercial (Video)
During a recent appearance on a local Ohio radio show, comedian Gallagher briefly mentioned that he was about to appear in a national television campaign for Geico. The point may have gotten lost, since most of the interview was dedicated to what seemed like the comedian's fall from grace, after suffering a series of heart attacks and mostly retiring from the road. As it turns out, it looks like the man is doing ok.
Tonight, Gallagher will appear on Late Show with David Letterman, and we hear that he taped not one, but two full segments. We'll make sure we post those videos when their available. For now, check out the Geico spot below!

Step 1Place the butter and flour in a mixing bowl. Using a pastry blender or your fingertips, cut or work the butter into the flour, leaving some of the butter in fairly large, irregular pieces. This will take 1 or 2 minutes. (Or mix for no more than a minute at medium-low speed in a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment.)
Step 2Pour in 3 tablespoons cold water, stirring all the while with a fork until the dough begins to form clumps. (In the mixer, turn the speed to low and pour the water down the sides of the bowl, mixing for 30 seconds or less.) Add up to 1 additional tablespoon water if needed. Form the dough into a ball and wrap it in plastic. Flatten it into a disk and let rest, refrigerated, for 1 hour or longer.
Step 3Heat the oil or butter in a low-sided, heavy-bottomed pan. Add the onions and thyme. Cook over medium heat until the onions are soft and juicy, 20 to 30 minutes. Season with three-fourths teaspoon salt, or to taste, and cook for a few minutes more.
Step 4Transfer the onions into a bowl to cool. If the onions are very juicy, pour them into a strainer over a bowl to drain and remove the liquid.
Step 5Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Roll the tart dough out into a 14-inch circle on a lightly floured surface. Brush off the excess flour, transfer the dough to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and put it in the refrigerator to firm up for 10 minutes or so.
Step 6Spread the cooled onions over the dough (removing the thyme sprigs as you go), leaving a 1 1/2 -inch border around the whole circumference of the dough. Fold the border up over the onions, overlapping the edges every 2 inches or so. Arrange the anchovies and olives evenly over the top. For a shiny, more finished appearance, mix together the egg and milk or water in a small bowl with a fork and brush the folded dough rim with it.
Step 7Bake until the crust is golden brown on the bottom, 45 to 50 minutes. Slide the tart off the pan onto a rack to cool. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Or the continuing math of the continuing story.

an expanse that happens to come and go unpredictable,
since the emotion attached to the action or inaction beckons
self-flagellation, mutation, abomination.
But today that is not the way I feel or think perhaps it is the sunshine perhaps it is the adherence to whatever shreds of practice can be maintained in constant (chosen, assigned, managed, apparent) chaos, a swirly world of why is no one listening to what I want?
Why am I not absolutely perfect, never misunderstood, completely influential, with flawless, arguments, solutions to every problem and that other thing, which remains to be seen, will eventually be determined as I am trying to sort that out each day as part of the healing I must face, or die. Literally I won't be able to continue the way I was and that is both frightening and freeing–not so much for the baked-laced-drench-your-desires-saturated-over-consumption phase that occurs in many artist's awakening and they use it as an excuse to get fucked up. Not that so much. This is one of those shifts they talked about but I was too far up the valley to feel it until now and I don't want to jinx anything and go back to the shitstorm that usually seems to present course for me to chart my way through.
I want, more Lonesome Dove cattle drive than Bonnie and Clyde so I can focus on things that I want to put energy into — because sharkland beneath the sea of sharks swimming and eating and swimming and devouring everyone who is good, with those dead eyes.

for needless senseless random exercises in futility-

even if no one reads this, no one cares, no one knows a god-damn thing – there will be no random futility here. That's been disassembled and analyzed and I'd be happy to explain my theorems to you, they are well thought out. What else ya gonna do but work out those kinds of academic problems when you're living a block from skid row and it's hard to tell where your next meal's coming from sometimes.
but no matter
no mind
that's all

Parent Questionnaires
Parent Survey 2017 – summary
Thank you very much to the parents who completed the survey in July 2017 to share your views of the school with us. We have analysed the results of the survey and are pleased to share them with you.
Since the survey there have been some key staff changes in school but the new team are equally committed to ensuring that all the strengths of the school remain consistently high and developing the school as we move forward. We will send out another questionnaire in July and I hope that everyone involved will continue to feel such affection for this amazing school. Can I please ask that you speak to me at any point in the year if you have any comments or concerns regarding your child or things we do in school as feedback is really useful to help us develop the school.
Christine Adams
The majority of people responded to questions with either a 1 – strongly agree or a 2- broadly agree which gives a very positive message for the school. 100% of parents who replied said they would recommend the school to another parent.
- The majority of parents said their child is happy at school. We would love this to be all of our children and would ask that if this is not the case you speak to the class teacher or myself to help change this.
- Everyone said they felt their child felt safe at Middleforth which is great news.
- The majority of parents felt their child is making good progress at school. We work very hard to ensure all of our children make good progress and as Headteacher I personally look at the progress of each child on a termly basis and more frequently if there are difficulties. Please speak to myself or the class teacher if you feel there are concerns about your child's progress or you would like more information.
- The majority of parents feel their child is taught well and they know about their child's progress. The quality of teaching in school is closely monitored through lessons observations, book scrutinies, teaching triads, external monitoring by LCC and support from Lancashire consultants. I am delighted at the very high quality of teaching in school and how the staff constantly strive to improve standards in school. Please speak to me if you have any concerns at any time
- The majority of parents were happy with homework. If you would like to discuss homework, please speak to the class teacher in the first instance or myself if you still have concerns. In key stage two there is an opportunity to do homework in school at lunchtime this year which some parents have told us is helping.
- Everyone felt school ensures children behave well This year school have also put in place a new behaviour policy and our children are telling us they are eappreciating this new system which rewards good behaviour
- There were no concerns regarding bullying and several parents said this question was irrelevant as bullying isn't an issue at Middleforth which we are delighted to hear.
- Everyone felt the school is well led and managed. Clearly since the questionnaire we have a new Headteacher and Deputy headteacher in post and we are both very committed to maintaining high standards in school, especially around all the positives mentioned in the questionnaires. If you have any concerns at any time please come in and meet with either of us.
- The majority of parents felt that school is approachable and concerns can be raised. All of the staff are committed to working together effectively with parents to help our children achieve the best they can and be as happy as they can be and we really want all of our parents to feel they can approach any of us with concerns.
- All parents feel we communicate effectively with parents. We are delighted about this and want parents to feel that we have strong links with parents and communicate about children in a helpful way.

Peter Spracklen died 6 May 1899 in Belle Plaine, Iowa and was buried 7 May 1899 in the Wright Cemetery. He did not have a will or a probate/estate file in Benton Co, Iowa that I could find. I am not totally satisfied about that so it is still and open research to do. I only looked at the early years of the Benton Co. deeds because I was searching for his brother Daniel, and I can see that it might be a good idea to study all the years to learn more about this man's activities.
Source: Record of Deaths, Benton Co., IA pg. 175, FHL#987623 Item 2. May 6, 1899. Spracklin, Peter, M, 73-3-7 Retired Farmer, May 6, 1899, Widower, born Ohio, Resided in Belle Plaine, IA, died of old age, buried in Wright Cemetery.
Find A Grave has his tombstone picture. I would be cautious about the information given in the written part. His tombstone does not have a J or D on it. Catherine is listed as being buried there and this is not accurate, she died in Chadron, Nebraska and is buried there.

Ellen infant child of P. and M. Spracklen d. July 26, 1855.
There are two obituaries that I have in my possession. The first is interesting because it has his name as John Peter Spracklen. It is unclear as to what newspaper this article appeared in or its source.
The 2nd obituary notice for Peter Spracklen appears in the Belle Plaine, IA Daily Union Tuesday, May 9, 1899, p. 4, column 15.
The bottom was cut off, it reads: Mr. and Mrs. William Kenner and Mrs. Roy Crittenden of Chelsea.
You can see the slight mix up in the 2nd obituary notice in which the brothers of Peter are mentioned in the first paragraph as Daniel in Ambrose and Solomon of Modale, IA. Then toward the end they mention that Solomon of Ambrose attended the funeral? Ambrose is a town long gone near where Daniel was living in Dayton Twp., Iowa Co., Iowa. Modale is in Harrison Co., IA.
I wish I had more time to study Peter in-depth. If you are a cousin of this line please say "Hello" and comment.

14 LB ( 14 pounds) WHITE Wildflower Really Raw Honey 100% Pure & Natural Local from beekeeper
FLAT SHIPPING TO US 50 STATES! Buy more = Save more on Shipping!
Honey not heated,
the rawest honey!!
PURE ORGNIC RAW HONEY natural and healthy, in food grade clear zip lock bag (s).
Our spirited honeybees have freely foraged high and low to bring to you this beautiful honey that came from flowers. Then we harvested this honey and put it immediately into these containers for you.
No Additives - No Corn Syrup - No Filtering - No Straining - No Mixing with Foreign Honey.
Non-pasteurized and non heated.
= The Rawest form. Straight from the hive.
The buyer will receive total _ bags with honey, like those in the picture. ( total weight you bought = container (s) may be different in size, each from 2 Lb up to 3 Lb's)
This is a Spring/ Summer Wildflower Raw Honey with a wonderful taste that will keep you coming back for more.
Raw (Unfiltered or Unprocessed) Honey tends to exhibit a "wax ring."
Although a majority of the wax is removed during the initial settling, following the extraction process, microscopic particles of wax will float to the top as the honey continues to settle in the jar.
Granulated ( crystallized ) honey is 100% pure honey, which has been finely granulated into a paste and spreads like butter at room temperature.
Unfortunately granulated table honey is sensitive to temperature.
If it ever gets above about 110 degrees, it will return to liquid.
Also, the consistency of granulated honey will get stiffer at lower temperatures.
Store and use granulated table honey at room temperature, but protect it from overheating!
OUR FEEDBACK IS VERY IMPORTANT TO US. PLEASE LEAVE FEEDBACK WHEN YOU HAVE RECEIVED YOUR HONEY. If there is a problem, Please contact us so that we can correct the problem before leaving neutral or negative feedback. We appreciate your business!!

Levi's Tips: How to Prevent Mud and Dirt Buildup on Your Dirt Bike
During the summer offseason, I swap out a sled for a dirt bike and hit the course at my home compound. It's one of the ways I stay sane when I'm missing the snow!
Summer riding brings some unique challenges, though. The fluffy, white buffer between my ride and the Earth is gone. That means dirt and mud flying everywhere! If you ride, you know how tough it can be to wash all of that grime off of your bike. That's why I'm going to let you in on a secret that makes cleaning a breeze for me!
The Secret Weapon
If you want to make your cleaning job much easier after a ride, just spray the underside of your fenders with Loctite® Penetrating Oil while they're clean! That's it! It will provide a protective coating that repels dirt and mud. The stuff that does get stuck on will come off easily if you spray it with a hose. Check it out!
Step 1: Make sure the underside of your fender is clean, and then spray Loctite Penetrating Oil on the surfaces.
Step 2: Go ride!
Step 3: It's time to clean!
When you're done riding for the day, take out the hose. Your bike will have some dirt and mud caked on still, but it'll be a lot less than usual. Here is mine after a recent ride:
All you need to do now is attack it with a hose!
Bonus! Bigger Air and More Speed
Because Loctite Penetrating Oil repels dirt and mud, less is going to get stuck to the underside of your fenders while riding. Less mud and dirt caked on means a lighter bike, bigger air and more speed — all good things!
Another Bonus
If you're like me and ride UTVs, you can use Loctite Penetrating Oil on those too! Here's my ride:
I prepare for a ride in a UTV the same way as I do with my dirt bike. Just coat the underside of the fenders and you're good to go.
Over to You
Got any dirt bike or snowmobile maintenance questions you'd like me to answer? Let me know in the comments and I'll pick out some of my favorites to answer in the future!

The use of Nair products for hair removal come with both pros and cons. While they are a considerably less expensive option than permanent hair removal treatments, there are definite risks and considerations that should be taken into account before choosing Nair products for yourself. Here you will find common problems which may arise from using Nair hair removal products.
One unavoidable problem of using Nair hair removal lotion is its strong odor. This smell is amplified due to the product's burning effect on body hair and the uppermost layer of epidermal skin. The smell will remain even after the product is removed, prompting a non-vigorous bathing of the skin and thorough airing out of the room before the remaining odor will completely go away.
The application of Nair hair removal lotion can be extremely messy, even if you are careful to do so with caution. Accidentally spilling the product or allowing covered limbs to touch anything may also discolor whatever surface (clothing, carpeting, furniture) it comes into contact with.
Skin Sensitivity
Even if you do not have sensitive skin to begin with, the use of Nair hair removal products will at least temporarily increase the sensitivity of the skin anywhere it has been applied. This is due to the fact that this treatment has chemically exfoliated the skin in addition to removing hair.
Skin Burns
Although the risks of burning your skin are clearly outlined on each Nair product if abused, it is vital to consider that your skin may still have an adverse reaction even if the product has been properly used. Understand that using Nair hair removal products on particularly sensitive skin may be inherently problematic.
Because Nair hair removal products are not designed to permanently remove body hair, the cost of continually purchasing them will add up. Over the course of several years this expense may prove to be equal to or possibly more than permanent hair removal treatments.

There's no answer to this question, or rather there are too many answers, but it's still worth asking: Why don't we behave better?
Most of us understand what would make us healthy and happy. We build an image of our perfect lifestyle: eat well, exercise vigorously, do yoga with the sunrise, meditate twice a day, act kindly and helpfully at all times, avoid negativity and pessimism, forgive freely, and so on. We would cut out saturated fats, processed carbohydrates, caffeine, and other mood alterants. We'd discard our televisions and limit our web surfing. We'd spend quality hours with our loved ones during free time, and apply ourselves diligently during the entire workday. We'd be satisfied, saintly, and applauded all around.
So why don't we act like this? Why do we carp at those nearest when we're fatigued? Why do we eat ice cream instead of carrots? Why do we zone out before electronic media rather than reading to gain knowledge, wisdom and enlightenment? Why aren't we better people?
Like I said, there's no decisive answer to this question. Freud postulated an instinct for death operative in the unconscious, which drives us to destroy our own happiness. Those of us from highly dysfunctional families might be told we hold ourselves back to avoid psychically abandoning the ones who raised us. On the other hand, we might hear that the fault lies in low self esteem due to parental neglect and poor role modeling. Indeed, I've heard both explanations, and others, from various therapists over the years.
Then there's the biblical explanation: a demonic consciousness drives us away from God and we, with our dangerous free will, go along with that agenda.
Eastern philosophies point to fundamental confusion about our true nature: we get trapped in the illusory material world with its unquenchable flames of desire, when we should locate ourselves instead in awareness of higher principles and the eternal ground of being.
Neuroscientists point to various mechanisms, including dopamine surges that drive us to seek short term pleasure rather than long term benefit.
The list of explanations goes on and on, as does our self-destructive activity. You may prefer some of these explanations more than others, but I don't believe any of them truly captures the confusing experience of knowing what's healthy but choosing what's disastrous.
If we can't explain why we fail ourselves, can we at least work out how to give our better instincts a fighting chance?
A while back I railed against the neuroscience paradigm, which seeks to explain great human truths in purely biological terms. Why focus on microscopic synapses to explain events that play out in vast spheres of social interaction? But in this case, I think neurophysiology can help us.
Studies of addiction have shown that people and animals are most inclined to compulsively consume chemicals that lead to feelings of pleasure within ten minutes of ingestion. A more rapid onset increases the addictive potency, and a slower onset lessens it. This is worth considering, because substance abuse is one of the most striking examples of behavior driven by short term gain in the face of long term destruction.
The point to take away is that when craving arises, your system is seeking rapid relief. Often, if you can ride out that ten minute window, the craving lessens. This is the advantage of meditation training: it bolsters our ability to endure discomfort long enough to make more sensible choices. By learning to outlast our destructive urges, we can find a freer decision space in which to align with better principles. We can hold our tongue and avoid insulting our spouse. We can leave the Ben & Jerry's in the freezer. We can go running rather than sit on the couch to watch 30 Rock reruns.
So we don't know why we fail ourselves, but we can acquire tools to help us remain faithful to our deepest values. This realization is part of a larger truth about ethical teachings. Wisdom traditions offer explanations for reality that are often untestable, but they provide guidelines for coping that have been proven many times. The stories about why life entraps us are less important than the strategies that help us avoid choosing harm over health.

Fox's Greta Van Susteren appeared on This Week yesterday and diverged from the Fox/GOP party line of defending House Majority Whip Steve Scalise despite his admitting to speaking to a white supremacist group in 2002.
In a roundtable discussion, Van Susteren didn't mince words about Scalise and his leadership position in the Republican party:
VAN SUSTEREN: I think he's a distraction but I think this is a huge missed opportunity for the Republican Party. If the Republican Party wanted to send a message out there, and I don't know whether it's fair to Congressman Scalise or not fair to him, or whatever, but associating with David Duke is grossly unwise.
There's no secret who David Duke is. I realize it's 12 years ago; he says he was there. Some people say he wasn't there. I don't know what that is. But if you want to send a messages to the American people, Republicans and Democrats, this would have been the opportunity to say he should step aside, whether it's fair or not, and send a message that we're not going to have this distraction. We really do want to have everybody on board.
And the moral courage would be to step down because it sends a very bad message to the American people.
It's worth pointing out that Fox's Charles Krauthammer suggested – albeit in a more tempered way – that Scalise should step down, too.
Watch it below, from yesterday's This Week.
A huge scandal is in the making this election season. It will be historic. Duke has names of closet racist lawmakers, and other high profile names. Start digging.

I've been told that the Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife is undertaking a project to figure out how to get nonresident anglers who no longer come here to fish to return to Maine. I suggested that they check out an August 2011 study that includes recommendations to do just that.
In 2011, The Sportsman's Alliance of Maine and DIF&W hired Brett and Jen Levin to figure out how Maine could appeal to more anglers. The Levins found that "the biggest opportunity for Maine will be found in developing a comprehensive economic analysis of recreational fishing, engaging in strategic partnerships, and developing a cohesive marketing plan backed up with sufficient resources to enable the plan's implementation."
The Levins looked at what other states are doing to attract anglers, including detailed surveys that states were conducting with freshwater anglers.
The study contained many good recommendations. For example, the Levins found that "Florida, Wisconsin, Montana and New York have participated in partnership with the Recreational Boating and Fishing Foundation which targets lapsed anglers. The approach is focused on the Recapture, Recruit, Retain theory." The Foundation even paid for their radio ads.
I was interested in Florida's 5-year license promotion which they implemented in 2006. The agency gets the same money for the license overall, but reduces administrative costs. Buyers also receive a value-added package of give-aways including lures, sunscreen, coupons, and more. Base sales increased seven-fold.
Wisconsin focused on continuing to make fishing better, and was found to be number one in regaining lapsed anglers. Yes, great fishing could bring them back. They also enacted a trout stamp to provide better funding for their initiatives.
Montana does very little stocking, and when they do it is mostly in lakes and ponds. New York moved fishing closer to the people, making a lot of small ponds into no-kill areas so they don't get fished out, a strategy that was successful in creating opportunity for more people. The state also manages a program in 225 classrooms on topics including biology and fishing skills.
There was some good news in the study. The Levins reported that "Maine has a resident participation rate of 16.5% which is 3.5% above the national participation rate and 5.5% above the New England participation rate." They also reported that our Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife "does comparatively well with license sales, angler recruitment, retention, and satisfaction."
The study offers several excellent recommendations, noting that "Maine must understand the real economic impacts of recreational fishing… The state's natural resources are unique and supreme, yet many rural communities continue to suffer a slow economic death."
"The state should commission an economic analysis of both the existing and the potential economic benefits of recreational fishing," was one recommendation.
Another was "The state should convene representatives within and among these major groups to develop a cohesive and focused plan that works to the benefit of all."
And a third was perhaps the most important. "The state should find dollars, perhaps be dedicating a percentage of license sales, to engage a national professional marketing and public relations firm that will inform and implement a targeted and effective marketing plan."
The Levins noted that DIF&W "does not have marketing expertise," and therefore "should continue to focus on the effective management of its fishing resources."
I've tried for two legislative sessions in a row to re-establish the marketing position at DIF&W, but the agency has opposed and killed my bills. They had a marketing position until about 10 years ago with Bill Pierce left that job. Shortly after that they abolished the marketing position, and they don't seem to think they have any responsibility for marketing hunting and fishing in Maine.
They are now undertaking an expensive "communications and marketing" initiative, which doesn't actually have anything to do with marketing. They are putting together a team of consulting businesses to help them convince the public that they are doing a good job.
It's my hope that the folks working on a new initiative to bring anglers back to Maine will take a look at the Levins study and recommendations, and understand that marketing recreational fishing is very important.

You know the quote. The bigger the challenge, the greater the reward. I usually dismissed this as pompous motivational jargon, until I looked at a barbell and thought wow, that quote makes sense now. And the more I thought about it, the more I realized that the quote applies to real life as well.
We celebrate personal records in CrossFit. It's a simple concept; you lift more weight than you ever have before, you set a new PR. Logic follows that attempting to lift a heavier weight presents a bigger challenge than a previous, lighter lift.
I honestly never thought I'd see the day when I could lift a bar with 8 plates on it. Ok, maybe I thought it was in the future but when I maxed out my deadlift earlier last year at 315 pounds… I figured I was a LONG way away from the 400club. Well… yeah, I deadlifted 405 pounds not too long ago. I was pretty pumped about that.
I felt so freaking alive when I made that lift. I knew that as a direct result of CrossFit, I was stronger than I had ever been before. This wasn't just a feeling inside me… I had physical proof that I was stronger. I kept adding weight to the barbell and I kept lifting it off the floor.
My challenge grew bigger… and so did my reward. Sure, there are plenty of people that are plenty stronger than me. But to me, ME, that was an incredible moment and an incredible accomplishment for all my 182 pounds.
What about other sports? Hitting a home run, finishing a marathon, acing that hole-in-one… every time you push yourself harder and further and faster, and you succeed, a more complete sense of pleasure and accomplishment follows.
So if the gym produces tangible evidence of bigger challenges/greater rewards, can't life outside fitness do the same? Yes, of course it does. If you land that new job or close that big deal, you get a bigger sense of satisfaction.
But what about when the rewards are less obvious? What about cooking a healthy meal instead of fast food? What about telling the truth when a lie is so much easier? What about following your passion and love instead of following comfort and normalcy?
The bigger challenges also bring bigger fears. Fear is a motherfucker. I'm working diligently to get rid of the bad fear in my life. Fear of lifting even heavier. Fear of following my dreams. Fear of failing.
Grab the challenges by the horns. Wrestle that bull to the ground. Hog tie it. Kick it when you're finished. Taunt it. Ask if that was its best shot.
Don't let fear stand in the way of your reward. We are only on this rock for a brief, fleeting moment. We must infuse all the LIFE into our lives as possible. We can only be scared for so long before it defines us. And then we die, afraid, and rewardless.
Don't die rewardless. Take on the big challenges. Fail sometimes. Learn from those mistakes. Succeed next time. To the victor goes the spoils.
Go get your
reward bigger reward.
Your turn -> What challenges are you facing? What rewards are you hoping for?

"For Finn MacCullen, it's time to Irish up.With a shout, Finn held the spear aloft. "Come along, ye manky beasties," he yelled, throwing every bit of Gideon-ness he could into his voice. "I've a wee point to share with ye!" Gripping the end of the shaft in both hands, he swung it around and around over his head, creating a whistling sound. "Faugh a ballagh!""The Spear!" Goblin voices screeched in panic. "The Spear of the Tuatha De Danaan!""Yeah, you got that right!" Finn yelled back.When a power-crazed sorceress and the neighborhood pack of beast-like goblins team up and threaten both his master and his friends, thirteen-year-old Finn (not Finnegan) MacCullen does the only thing an apprentice monster hunter can do: he takes the fight to the enemy.And woe to the foe he meets along the way."

Although I haven't used it before, for awhile I've been interested in Project Gutenberg. They offer over 39,000 free ebooks, and it is completely legal because the US copyright has expired. Delightful, right? Even more delightful is my recent discovery that they also offer free audio book downloads. Most are computer generated, and in my imagination it is akin to asking Siri to read you a bedtime story.
With some craziness over at work, I am recommitting myself to writing. Here are some tools around the internet that I've found helpful.
- 10 steps to finding your writing voice
- The emotion thesaurus (I didn't buy this, but have started making a list of every emotion I can think of. Beside benefiting your writing, I think there is also therapeutic value in this exercise.)

Living by Comparison in a Post School World
*No Emo.
When you are in school, it is almost impossible not to live by comparison. It doesn't matter how much you are supposed to compete with yourself not your classmates, or if an A is dressed up as an "excellent". An A isn't an A if someone doesn't have a B, or even an F. It's how educators extrinsically motivate students. There is more you can compare, how many friends you have, what activities you participate in, if you are in a relationship.
It's funny that in this time of hyper comparison, you and your peers are living essentially the same life. From preschool to college, for the most part classmates share both similar lives and labels. Whether you are first or last in your class, everyone in the 10th grade is a sophomore.
And then you graduate, and everyone that you've been the same with your whole life is now different. But the training to live by comparison, to measures success by looking at how you measure up to the people around you, for me, that didn't just go away.
This month marks the 2-year anniversary since I graduated from college. This was a tough one for me, in part because when graduation everyone's advice seemed to be that graduates should take 2 years to figure out what they want to do. I think this was meant to take the pressure off: to make us feel like we didn't need to have everything figured out by the Sunday after graduation. So what does it mean years out and still not know?
Probably, nothing. People get to be fifty and still don't know, but that shouldn't get in the way of living your life … right Mom?
It is so crazy to look back two years and see the fantastic things my friends have accomplished. Friends that went straight into grad school after graduating now have master's degrees or have passed their qualifying exams to get PhD's. They've paid off their student loans, found new exciting jobs, started their own businesses, and moved into new apartments. Girls who were single on graduation day are engaged. The list goes on, and I'm doing some of these things to. And even if I'm a little jealous sometimes, that doesn't mean I'm not hugely proud of all of them.
But what is harder than facing the occasional green-eyed monster, is not knowing how I stack up when compared to friends who are living lives that seem so separate and different from mine. I'm hoping this sounds slightly more thoughtful, than pathetically self-pitying (which is not my intention). Has anyone else had similar experiences? Does anyone secretly wish there were grades at work?
Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children: Metaphor, allegory or just meh?
*** there are some light spoilers in this review.
I really like the idea behind Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children, by Ransom Riggs. The book started as a collection of peculiar photographs of children, and that is where the story starts.
Sixteen year-old Jacob is dealing with the before and after of his beloved grandfather's death. No one else has ever understood him, and no one believes him when he describes his grandfather's murder. Jacob had his grandfather's stories of hiding from the monsters on an island with magical children during the Holocaust and a collection of photographs from this time.
I enjoyed the first section of the book, covering his grief and people's reaction to his stories. The second half, when he travels to the island (I won't tell you what he finds there) relied too much on the photographs and not enough on narrative and character development.
While I didn't hugely enjoy, or dislike, the book there were aspects I found interesting. I think it is a hugely innovative way to think about the Holocaust and World War II. The children in the grandfather's story are all being kept on the island because of their strange powers and abilities. They are also suspended in childhood, and have very little control over their time. I couldn't help wondering if this was a strange allusion to concentration camps.
There are terrible monsters, hunting only these types of children, and special informers that blend into society. Jacob questions whether these stories are his grandfather's allegorical way of being able to talk about his child as a Polish Jew in the 1940s. These are interesting ideas, but they aren't taken far enough to work in the book.
The photographs were my favorite part of the book. While I didn't dislike it, I don't see why it has been so enormously popular, spending 45 weeks on the New York Times "Best Sellers" list for children's chapter books.

How long should it take to write a novel?
Last week, while perusing the NYT website I started reading "Writer's Cramp: In the E-Reader Era, a Book a Year Is Slacking," by Julie Bosman. You should also read the article, hence the link, but the gist of it discusses the new pressures on authors because of technology and a consumer culture based on instant gratification.
It has long been the norm for authors, especially genre writers (romance, mystery, thriller etc.) to publish a book every year. EBooks have made instant publishing possible and publishers are pushing authors to double or triple their writing schedule to keep readers interest.
As a reader, this doesn't seem like a bad thing to me. I have no problem admitting that I am impatient for books from the authors I love. The faster they end up on my kindle the better. However, as an aspiring writer I echo the sentiments that it would be a bad thing for an author's career to be judged on productivity and not creativity.
The article also made me start thinking, how long should it take to write a novel? How long will it take me to write mine?
Some of you know (I have a hard time decipher the ratio of real life friends to internet friends of this blog's readership) that I have been working on a young adult project that I call "dreamers". I started writing my senior year during January break, thinking if I can write this novel in a month then I won't have to find a job. After leaving my first job and moving home I wrote the bulk of the book during my 2 months of unemployment. I've tried to balance writing with working, something I plan to recommit to this week.
It's been almost 3 years since I started thinking about the project, and 2 years since I started writing, and while I know a month seems like a silly amount of time to spend on a book I'm starting to wonder if the end is in sight. If I am meant to be a writer, shouldn't I be done by now? Or is the time I'm spending, less about procrastination and more about adding meaningful depth to my work? Hard to say, my guess is that it is probably both.
I wonder if there is a quality loss that accompanies the pressure to write more faster? Or if the more your work, the more you have to work with. I keep remembering something I heard Eugenia Kim, author of The Calligrapher's Daughter, say. She talked about how difficult it was to adjust her process from taking 12 years to write her first book to being expected to write the second one in under a year. Now it seems like with eBooks, the pace might be even worse. Right now, I kind of hope that is a problem I have someday.

strange days
even though it is still may (barely), memorial day weekend brings the 'unofficial' arrival of summer. it most certainly feels like summer in these parts - today promises to be a scorcher. if the forecast is correct it will feel like summer - but not the sweet days of june, but the dog days of august! as long as the rain and thunderstorms hold out after the final holiday cook-out concludes all is cool even if it's hot!
my fantasy this memorial day is for there to be no more dead soldiers to remember on all the memorial days to come.
why is there not a 'holiday' to remember all the others who die during times of war? why is it that the innocents of war are often those most forgotten?
today I remember and mourn all that died - soldiers and civilians alike. today I pray that one day we can erect a memorial to war. may war finally rest in peace. there has never been a war to end all wars - for war begets war.
martin luther king jr said that "peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal."
make peace! peace can never arrive through the aggression, invasion, and violence but though increased understanding, acceptance, and reconciliation and ultimately when the power of love overcomes the love of power!
strange days.....on so, so many levels!
two songs today. I just finished roy's thoughtful memorial day post and one of his songs reminded me of pete's song of the same name - written originally in 1965 for the boys in vietnam, this version has been updated to reflect today's big muddy. ah, pete - 91 and still going - his voice may not be as strong as it once was, but he is still tireless when it comes to making peace. alas, my wandering and subsequent neglect of the mouse this month cause me to miss putting up a happy birthday pete post (don't even get me started on how obama's choice for the nobel peace prize has probably destroyed the chances of having pete be recognized for his lifelong work promoting peace by the nobel committee. okay I'm started, but will end and hey, who knows we can still try - if you haven't signed the petition, please do here - 2011 is not that far away and hopefully pete will still be with us, and if he is he will still be working for peace).

It's been hot as hades for the past few weeks and appears that the dog days could be worse, if we get this now.
And I'm with you, to memorialize peace and no death would be a plus.

I agree completely with your thoughts on this, Kimy. For me the only valid and fitting way of honoring people who have served and lost lives and limbs is to remember all victims of wars and renew vows of not being lied, scared or hoodwinked into new ones. For anyone who professes love of life and humanity, surely all wars are civil wars, all wars are fraticide. The problem is they continue to be good business for some.

Great Seeger song. Bruce Springsteen does a great version, too.
People have become isolated from the consequences of war and thus inured to it. While reading comments about antiwar book, I kept coming across the opinion that "War is hell. So what? Everyone knows that." No one who would write so flippantly about it knows that, of that much I'm sure.

We seem to be caught in a spiral of violence ... today, Israel's boarding an aide boat in international waters and killing 10 people. There seems to be an epidemic of craziness.
It's good to know that there are people who value, and work for, peace. There is a group of young people in Israel who refuse military service in the occupied territories and go to jail for their honour.
Many blessings on peacemakers.

Bravo! I love the King quote. Like you, I wonder about all the others who die during times of conflict. Not only that, but I wonder about the non-military people who serve our country in their own ways -- Peace Corps volunteers, for example, or Teach for America participants. They may not routinely die in the line of duty the way military folks unfortunately do, but they give of themselves and deserve commemoration as well. (And I'm not just saying that because I'm an RPCV, though that's certainly made me more aware of the gap between military and non-military recognition!)
