I knew people would be worried as I missed a day of posting on my blog ;) Everything is okay - have just been very busy and nothing really to post about yesterday. Noah has had a month off school and just started back this week, so I have been making the most of it by catching up on lots of little jobs that needed to be done but is too hard to do with a wheelchair, a baby and a 3-4 year old :) It's a lot easier without getting the wheelchair in and out of the van all day.
Tonight we went to a Maths Expo which was put on at the boys school. The school received a grant of $1500, so they decided to put some of it towards a Maths expo where parents could come with their kids and spend time playing different maths games and doing different maths activities. It was to show parents that maths can be fun and that kids can learn a lot just through playing games.
It was really good and had games and activities for kids from Prep to Grade 6.
Harri did great at matching the numerals with the amount of leaves on each flower. Jalen then helped him find the right word to match.
The boys had lots of fun playing different games with us.
Jay loves maths and it shows by how confident he was with doing a lot of the things involved in the game (another maths geek like his Dad!).
Every family that attended the expo got to take home a game full of things to use at home including all the games that were at the expo, number charts, dice, counters, a ruler, pens and a note pad. I have a feeling we will be using them a bit over the school holidays.

For all the drama that surrounded the Republican primary season, the convention to formally nominate Mitt Romney as the party's candidate for president is likely to be suspense-free.
Well, maybe not completely.
Aside from Romney's coronation, the August 27-30 convention at the Tampa Bay Times Forum will host another show: Ron Paul's farewell.
The 76-year-old representative from Texas will retire from Congress after November's elections, capping a long and colorful career. He is looking to take some of the limelight away from his former rival in the primaries.
Paul's followers – a small but intensely loyal band – have been collecting small packs of delegates from across the country since the congressman stopped campaigning in May, and they plan to be a forceful voice in Tampa.

My first published book TELL IT LIKE IT IS (1967) will be reprinted this fall by #BurnBooks..While in grad school I went to live with a family in Norfolk, Virginia. Slept on their sofa, set up a darkroom nearby. The "contribution $2." went to a local church and intended to pay for food and clothing for disadvantaged families in this neighborhood. This was my first full blown essay and my first time being totally absorbed by a culture outside my own. This first essay/book was a precursor to all that followed with my work.
6 Responses to "TELL IT LIKE IT IS (1967)"
Sign me up straight away please!!
BTW David…
Did you ever in later years manage to keep on contact with the family? -
Great news!! The launching of the book, can be a "vernissage" with the people photographed in '67.
Are they still alive?? Hope so!@ ALL:
Buy the book, the contribution is only 2 USD!!!! :-PShine.P.
After I shot this, I went straight off to grad school with wife and baby….The book came out after I was already locked deep into the Univ of Missouri and in total survival mode….So I lost touch with the family…Bad boy….However , right now I am going to have the local Norfolk newspaper help me find them…This was a big family…6 kids….Some of them surely still live within the circulation range of the Virginian Pilot and I am confident we will find them…
Worse than losing touch with the family, we dumped a bunch of these books..No space to keep them..No sense of lasting value at the time…at this very moment only 4 copies of this book are in my possession, and I know of very few in the hands of a few friends….
Bruce Davidson was the one who told me just two years ago that TELL IT LIKE IT HIS preceded EAST 100th STREET by 4 years which will make TELL IT ultimately have some historical value..Now mind you, this is a small book. Not lots of pictures. Yet I know of no other photographer of that era who documented one family as did I. Davidson shot a whole street, I did just one family. Davidson of course knew what he was doing, in Magnum, lived in New York, and he made a major contribution to documentary photography. I was 22, clueless, and only going by gut instinct on every aspect of shooting, editing, etc…and living in Columbia, Missouri at school when the book came out…too shy to even put my name on the cover….the purist project I have ever done..or will ever do….
So this is one of those retro discoveries so to speak….I rarely go retro…I live in the now…yet this is frankly just one of those things that cannot be denied….It happened…In 1967 and before I ever met even another photographer other than my classmates, no cred of any kind, and so it is some kind of photo miracle or however you want to look at it….
Cheers David
Lets Tell it Like It Is……HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!
All the best DAH from Miami!
Enjoy and Party ALL night!!!! -
a civilian-mass audience
Go CARLO !!! Oh,yeah …Happyyyyyyyyy BURN birthdays ahead MR.HARVEY !!!
TELL IT LIKE IT IS …the "eye of the eagle" was focusing on one family back then…
and now 2014, here we are !!!WHAT NOT TO LOVE …the journey of life,the circle of friends!!!
Love,Peace,Health and Photography !!!

Be Happy
For someone who creates zines and runs
We Make Zines
, you would think I would be right on top of all things zines. But, the truth is, I still have zines from last August's zine symposium I haven't read (probably some from the year before, too). It's not that I don't want to read them, I just want to be in the right mood and I have lots of reading competition taking up space near my bed.
So, with that in mind I can tell you truthfully that I have meant to do this blog post for many months. I first read this zine at the Portland Zine Symposium last August. I read it sitting at my table and felt so inspired by it, it totally set my mood for that day.
Be Happy
is a zine by then 19 year old Jayna. It's a simple mostly hand written zine about loving yourself as-is and self-compassion. The simpleness of it is what affected me so much. There are lots of blogs, books and zines out there about this subject. Some of them are very deeply researched, academic and layered. That's great, I love that Fat Studies is out there. But, I say this because Be Happy is the opposite of that and it cuts to the core of self-compassion and accepting oneself. There is a time when you need deeper studies into fat oppression and self-love and a time when you just need it spelled out to you by a smart teenager. Jayna's zine is kind of like getting a pep talk note from your best friend passed between classes. And really weren't those the best!
Excerpts from Be Happy #1
Your body is yours to love and take care of. Love it as much (or more) as your favorite music, person or movie.
Everyone has their rights to self-worth. Degrading others to feel better about yourself is pointless because it starts to turn your 2 most valuable organs bad. Your heart for feeling the need to put down someone and your brain for processing and relaying the message.
Months later I got the zine
Your Biggest Critic
. This could be Be Happy #2. This zine has lots of great points about self-compassion, too.
I recommend these zines for anyone struggling with these issues. It's just a good quick read that I could probably use every day - like affirmations. I especially think these zines would be great for a young person dealing with these issues. Having Jayna be closer to their age would inspire them even more and maybe encourage them to make their own zine. Just making a zine like this is great for the zine maker's self-esteem.
Jayna's etsy shop
. She has lots of other zines and projects, too.

March is here. The above illustration is from
A Child's Book of Poem's
Today was very spring like. The sun was out and I went to check out what's been popping up in the garden. My hydrangea bush still had some old dried flowers on it from late last summer, but among them many new buds.
Here is the contrast of dried up winter next to baby fresh spring. No judgement here. I like them both!
I pruned all the old dried flowers off the bush and now it's ready to grow into a big beautiful pile of hydrangeas. I love them. This bush started as a potted plant from Trader Joes.
The neighbor's dog, Clover, came by for a visit. She is super sweet and so well behaved.
Some other stirrings.
And some cheery narcissus that are intent on keeping their heads down and facing away from the door. I snuck up on them.
I guess spring is coming. I do like it, I just feel like winter never got a real good showing. I am looking forward to flowers and California strawberries and sitting in the sun.

Batman and Robin
Batman and Robin
Release Date:
1997 - Warner Bros.
Joel Shumacher
George Clooney - Batman/Bruce Wayne, Arnold Schwarzenegger - Mr. Freeze/Dr. Victor Fries, Chris O'Donnell - Robin/Dick Grayson, Uma Thurman - Poison Ivy/Dr. Pamela Isley, Alicia Silverstone - Batgirl/Barbara Wilson, Michael Gough - Alfred Pennyworth, Jeep Swenson - Bane.
The 4th Batman movie and franchise killer! Joel Schumacher completely and thoroughly butt rapes the iconic DC comics character with (yet again) way too many villains, the addition of Batgirl, far too much neon, and a gay desecration of the batsuit. George Clooney puts on the cape and cowl, complete with nipples and codpiece, for the first and last time. Lacking any acting talent, George just isn't able to put on the persona of The Batman as easily as he slips on the sexually enhanced batsuit. We watch in horror, helpless, as George traipeses around Gotham the exact same way he would were he on an episode of ER. Joining him on the gay romp, and equally enthusiastic in his bat-thong and bat-bra is cross-dressing Chris O'Donnell as Robin, the ambiguously gay "partner" of Batman. His usefulness to The Batman is in question in this movie. Robin seems as unneeded as are the nipples on his batsuit. And, as if there needed to be any more femininity in the movie, Alfred's niece needlessly inserts herself in-between the dynamic duo as the "clueless" Batgirl, played perfectly by Alicia Silverstone--another wasted character thrown into an impotent crowd. In this last kitchy farce, the Batfamily takes on villains Mr. Freeze (Arnold Schwarzenegger), Poison Ivy (Uma Thurman), and Bane (Some wrestler). At times utilizing bright neon sticks, they stylistically battle the trendy villians of Gotham, chat up the sparkly hookers, and generally tool around town trying to find a storyline. What they find is that their beloved butler Alfred is sick and dying from an incurable disease--enabling Batgirl's appearance as his niece from England. Bruce and Dick have communication issues. Mr. Freeze wants to encase Gotham City in ice "just because". Poison Ivy wants... wants... Who the hell knows what, but she has Bane break stuff a lot. Too many villains, too many heroes, and too much neon make this a sad ending to the Batman franchise. A tribute to Hollywood's lack of respect.

Pumpkin Blondies
I know it's not really pumpkin season, but I have a ton of canned pumpkin puree in my pantry from when I stocked up in the fall. Obviously, I didn't get a lot of baking done then, so when I needed a little treat for my mommy group, these looks easy enough and I had all the ingredients.

Over the past 20 years, local councils have been "progressively stripped of authority" by Conservative and Labour Governments, according to a leader in The Independent this week. The truth, in my view, is very different.
It is certainly the case that the record card that the Conservatives left was one where local government was under-funded and lacked the teeth to address local problems. Labour set about overturning this, leading to a much changed picture today. And through the radical reforms that I outlined at the start of summer, local government will be strengthened still further, by giving citizens a bigger role in shaping the places in which they live and the public services they use.
This is not about strengthening councils for their own sake, rather to underpin the rights of citizens through their elected representatives, and make sure that local government can fight the corner for local people.
I want to see the scrutiny powers of councils over local services, introduced by the Labour government, extended. People individually often feel that they don't have the power, detailed knowledge or time, to tackle service providers like the police, utility companies or transport bosses on their own. And people's needs – whether education, health or social care related – can be complex and often don't start and end with one service or organisation.
Enhanced scrutiny would enable councils to take a lead role in ending bureaucracy and duplication, increasing value for money, and personalising services. It would also mean more local influence and accountability over more than £100bn of public money a year that is currently spent on local services.
Town halls could hold select committee-style sessions with councillors grilling anyone delivering local services, from police chiefs and health bosses when they are coming up short. Or look at the services of organisations like local transport providers or utilities which affect people's quality of life to help deliver better local solutions. This is at the heart of the proposals, placing councillors – with their local democratic authority – to challenge unelected bureaucrats and deliver for citizens.
Finding solutions to the challenges we face today can require action on a global, national and local scale. Taking climate change, central government can lead – as Labour did in introducing the world's first Climate Change Bill – but it is local councils that can and do drive change on the ground, reducing waste, boosting recycling and developing greener public transport.
The importance of local solutions and innovation is why I'm asking whether councils have all the powers they need to drive forward action in their communities on climate change. Should councils, for example, be given local carbon budgets as a spur? And how do we accelerate councils working with local people to determine, finance and design a shift to greener living?
This greater autonomy to act on climate change is the next stage in a progressive, wider shift in power from Whitehall to the town hall that has been underway over the last 10 years.
Alongside the reforms that I want to introduce, councils now have three-year funding settlements, greater flexibility on how they spend money, and fewer targets. Councils now have a remit of working with the police to tackle anti-social behaviour and work jointly with the NHS in social care and on public health. Next year they will have responsibility for commissioning education and training for 16 to 19 year olds – funding worth around £7bn a year. And this year we gave councils the power to raise a supplement on the business rate to support local projects to underpin long-term economic development.
We know that not every problem can be solved from a desk in Whitehall. It needs central and local working together. And this is what we are doing to help people through the effects of the economic downturn, on jobs and on homes.
The changes we have already introduced and what I am proposing we do amounts to the biggest shift in power to local government in a generation. It enables local councillors to act in delivering local services, to champion their areas, stand up for citizens, and to meet the challenges that lie ahead. And it enables local people to hold them to account if they do not deliver.

text: Home > Lifestyle Stars favor bold colors and sophistication for Emmy fashion By Piya Sinha-Roy, Reuters Posted at Sep 24 2012 11:31 AM | Updated as of Sep 24 2012 11:14 PM Share Save Facebook Twitter GPlus LinkedIn Pinterest LOS ANGELES, California - At the first big red carpet event of the award season, stars donned bold colors and sophisticated designs in the sweltering heat at television's Emmy Awards on Sunday. Bright yellow was a popular choice on the red carpet among the younger starlets and veteran actresses, including Julianne Moore (in full-length Christian Dior haute couture), "Homeland" star Claire Danes (in strapless, draped Lanvin), Leslie Mann (in yellow and white Naeem Khan), "Modern Family" Emmy winner Julie Bowen (in Monique Lhuillier), "New Girl" actress Hannah Simone (in asymmetric Pucci) and "Big Bang Theory's" Kaley Cuoco (in a strapless peplum Angel Sanchez). "It would definitely get an award for bringing the dead back to life in its color," Bowen said of her dress backstage after winning the Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy. "It was bold for me, but it's a classic shape." Julie Bowen poses with the award for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy series for "Modern Family" backstage at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles, September 23, 2012. Photo by Reuters/Mario Anzuoni Hal Rubenstein, fashion director at InStyle magazine, praised the bold color choices and selected Julianne Moore's full-length yellow Dior couture gown as his favorite. "On one hand, it recalls the best of Dior, and yet it was mixed through with all the modernity that (designer) Raf Simons brought to the house of Jil Sander and now will bring to the house of Dior," Rubenstein said. Despite an unseasonably hot September day with temperatures hovering near 90 degrees, actresses managed to look cool in blue, white and grey gowns. "New Girl" star and nominee Zooey Deschanel wore a pastel blue Reem Acra dress with a full tulle skirt, keeping her hair and makeup simple. Heidi Klum turned out in a turquoise Alexandre Vauthier gown and starlet Hayden Panettiere was attired in a teal and gold asymmetric Marchesa dress. Pale gray was a hot color for fall, seen on "Revenge" star Emily VanCamp in J Mendel, "Homeland" actress Morena Baccarin in Basil Soda and "Veep" star Anna Chlumsky in Christian Siriano. Siriano also dressed "Mad Men" bombshell Christina Hendricks in a pale grey-white strapless gown, echoed by 12-year-old "Mad Men" starlet Kiernan Shipka in a pale grey strapless Zac Posen. Lucy Liu shimmered in a fitted, metallic Versace strapless dress. "The dresses were more influenced by the weather than the trends from the runway for fall. The clothes were actually very bright and sophisticated, there were a lot of ethereal colors and bright colors ... the colors were big, bright and happy," Rubenstein said. "I thought people looked good." Fashion stylist and expert Sam Saboura was less impressed, saying he was "underwhelmed." "I thought it was a little subdued. I wasn't blown away by anyone in particular, but key trends tonight were a lot of strapless and A-line dresses," Saboura told Reuters. "Last year we saw a lot of flared gowns hugging the body with mermaid tails, but the A-line was a little softer, a little more relaxed." Deep red jewel tones also proved popular, with comedian Tina Fey leading a host of stars in a strapless Vivienne Westwood, echoed by Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Vera Wang, Jena Malone in burgundy J Mendel and "Big Bang Theory" nominee Mayim Bialik in a modest but glamorous Pamella Roland number. Actress Tina Fey of the comedy series "30 Rock" arrives at the 64th Primetime Emmy Awards in Los Angeles September 23, 2012. Photo by Reuters/Mario Anzuoni Actress Nicole Kidman in an Antonio Berardi column sheath with blue sequined embellishments had fashionistas and fans split. Saboura said he felt the dress "did not do her justice," while Rubenstein said it was "clean and modern." Floral prints added interest to the red carpet. Julianna Margulies wore a strapless floral baroque-style Giambattista Valli gown and Ginnifer Goodwin donned a white and red embellished Monique Lhuillier, a choice that Saboura called "interesting." "There was a lot of sparkle and shine," Saboura said. "I thought it'd be more garish than glamorous, and I thought it was actually understated glamour tonight." ***** The 64th Primetime Emmy Awards will have its primetime replay later Monday at 7 p.m. on Velvet (SkyCable Channel 53).

In the Same Strip Mall as the Zelda Fitzgerald Center for Mental Well-Being
Just saw in The Buzz section of the new Inside Tennis that Ed Begley Jr. Bjorn Borg has launched a new dating service, Love for All, whose motto is "THE DATING SITE WITH 100% GUARANTEED SUCCESS."
I mean really, who better than the oft-near-bankrupt former heartthrob Swede, whose success in the romance department rivals only that of his results at the U.S. Open: His marriage to his childhood sweetheart, tennis player Mariana Simionescu, ended in divorce after he fathered a child with Jannike Bjorling, a teenager he met while judging a wet T-shirt competition (she was a contestant). That also did not last -- surprise! -- but an ugly custody battle for their son, Robin, dragged on for years. In 1989 Borg was married for a second time, to Loredana Berte, a messy Italian rock star who used to appear half-naked and doused in glitter on the cover of her albums. (Her signature song was "Non sono una signora" -- "I Am Not a Lady.") The same year he wed her Borg was taken to a Milan hospital where he had to have his stomach pumped after a drug overdose. (Naturally, Borg denies it was suicide attempt.) Borg divorced Loredana in 1993.. He married wife No. 3, Patricia Ostfeldt, in 2003, and their son, Leo, was born the following year. (They were apparently still together as of post time.)

'Milk,' Does a Body (and Soul) Good
While my gut instinct was to urge my mom (and other loved ones) to see "Milk," after talking to her this week and realizing she'd never even heard of him (heck, many of my gay friends haven't either, so I'm not faulting her), I decided to buy her a copy of the documentary and I'm going to ask her to watch that instead. While I think Harvey's subway pickups and messy relationships depicted in "Milk" only make him more endearing to his fellow gay brothers (the crowd of guys I saw it with loved them and believe me, the depiction is rather PG-rated), I decided Mom would learn more about the gay rights movement's greatest champion from archival footage of him in action and interviews with friends and coworkers who loved and admired him than a recreation of it all. My hope, of course, is that she's so moved by the documentary that SHE chooses to go see "Milk" because she wants to. Unlikely, yes. But as Harvey says, you gotta give 'em hope, and hoping, indeed, I am ...
Music Box: Aztec Camera
Aztec Camera was the smartest pop band to emerge from the '80s new wave scene, with the Scottish boy wonder Roddy Frame its star attraction. "High Land, Hard Rain" (1983) was one of those flawless debuts that almost screamed that the only way from there was down. But with the likes of songs as brilliant as "Oblivious," "Walk Out to Winter," "We Could Send Letters" and "The Boy Wonders," there certainly was plenty of room on the fall to keep making great music for lifetime. Five more Aztec Camera albums (really in name only, as Roddy was the only consistent performer) never failed to have shining moments, from "All I Need Is Everything" on "Knife," "Deep and Wide and Tall" on "Love," "The Crying Scene" on "Stray" (a surprise hit in the homeland), the Ryuichi Sakamoto-infused "Dreamland," and so on, before Roddy decided to officially go "solo" in 1998 with "North Star" (yet another delightful effort). "Surf" in 2002 and "Western Skies" in 2006 were equally enjoyable as loyalists thoroughly enjoyed watching Roddy mature as a writer. Yet looking back 25 years since that stunning debut, nothing (naturally) will ever compare to those Scottish glory days ...
"Oblivious": I hear your footsteps in the street, it won't be long before we meet ...
"Walk Out to Winter": swear I'll be there. Chill will wake you, high and dry, you'll wonder why

Mommie Dearest Racist
A hunky college hockey player and his madcap racist mother? It's gotta be Must-See TV! Meet the Bojanowskis, one of three mother-son pairs on "Momma's Boys," Ryan Searcrest's new reality show featuring overprotective moms helping their sons choose mates. (Debuts Dec. 16 on NBC.)
Although Khalood Bojanowski is an "Iraqi Catholic" (and you know how popular those are back in the homeland, Mom), she has all sorts of problems at home in Michigan with her son JoJo not dating a "white girl." (Why do I suspect likeminded parents in Macomb County feel the exact same way about their white daughters dating her "ethnic" son?)
"I cannot have a black one; I can't have an Asian one; I can't have a fat-butt girl," Mom says on the show. She's even more adamant about Jews. "Nooo! No Jewish girl! No way, no way!" she says. "I cannot stand them! I'm sorry, but I can't handle them. It has to be a white girl."
On a later episode she's even seen threatening to "kill" her son after she observes him from a helicopter making out in a hot tub with one of the black women. "I'm going to kill him, that's what I'm going to do!" she screams. "I'm going to strangle his balls! I swear, I'm ready to kill somebody!" She later confronts the black woman, telling her, "Don't ever put your freakin' lips on my kid!"
Apparently her hateful ways are creating so much negative energy that she's now demanding police protection the night the show debuts. Good luck with that, lady. I wonder how she feels about her son being featured on a blog for GAY MEN. Why don't you all tell Mom what you think of him, with his sexy compact 5-9 175-pound hockey-player bod and million-dollar smile ...

My husband and I took a week to unwind and relax and this was the perfect place. Place was exactly as the pictures. It was very clean and had everything you needed. Beautiful view and rental office was very nice.
Great view! Lovely kitchen, very comfy bed. We loved Destin and look forward to coming back soon.
Great location...great view...loved the beach chair service. Unit on the end of this small complex so more windows...which was nice. Just a few minor negatives... Blender pitcher was cracked so there was a slow leak and the dishwasher was really loud. Pillows could use updating. Otherwise this is a nice comfortable condo and I would definitely recommend it.

How do I provide a truly secure FTP site for my client to upload files with sensitive data (PHI - Personal Health Information, as referred to by HIPAA)?
Category: File Management
I currently only have a Launch account, but will upgrade as necessary to provide a secure FTP site. All I've used up to now is email, so I'm not even sure whether someone can upload a file to my site anyway, so I need to know how that works as well. I am wondering if your article saying to just running it through TLS or SSL to make it secure (like when using FileZilla) is enough?
Hello Crystal, Thanks for the question! If you are on a shared server, you cannot use secure FTP as it is not available. Technically, you can't share files in the manner that you are describing. You cannot use a shared server a as file repository - files would need to be linked and considered web content. See Bandwidth and Disk Usage in our Terms of Service for further detail. However, it is possible to do this on a VPS/Dedicated server. You can setup the use of Secure FTP (SFTP) or Secure Copy Protocol (SCP) which will be the best ways to provide secure transfer. If you are going to be dealing with many gigabytes of data, then you may also want to consider using a Content Delivery Network as a dedicated server will have a limited amount of disk space and repeated access to files will affect server performance. I hope that helps to provide you some relevant information. If you have any further questions or require further assistance, please leave another comment. Regards, Arnel C. |

The Rap Sheet has some good info. It seems Richard Morgan has a new novel coming out (Scroll way down). It is not a Kovacs novel, but it deals with one of Morgan's favorite themes. In this book, we have another technologically created super-soldier who is no longer needed. I suppose this is a evolution of some of hthe questions posed in Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep or even Battlestar Galatica. Anyway, Morgan writes excellent blends of noir fiction and science fiction along with doses of his non-idealistic leftist viewpoint. I am excited for this one.
The Rap Sheet also has an item on Ian Fleming, be sure to read the linked article called Bond in Torment. Also Hugh Jackman is attempting to build an action movie franchise. It certainly worked for Matt Damon.
Portland Metroblogs has an amusing bit on which global conspiracy is dominating PDX.
How would you like to be described as an "adequately excellent lover"? That's how HP Lovecraft's wife described him. Maybe that is why he wrote stories about going insane.
Boba Fett has a blog, not much action on it though.
Extending the trend to cash in on the Young Adult market China Mieville has a new book for the adolecent set.

Book review: The Sound of Things Falling by Juan Gabriel Vásquez
As an injured law professor digs through his past to begin the "damaging exercise of remembering," Vásquez's novel becomes a painfully lucid consideration of fate.
By Juan Gabriel Vásquez. Riverhead, $28.
"It's always somewhat dreadful when someone reveals to us the chain that has turned us into what we are," reflects the narrator of The Sound of Things Falling. "It's always disconcerting to discover, when it's another person who brings us the revelation, the slight or complete lack of control we have over our own experience."
Gracefully translated by Anne McLean, Colombian author Juan Gabriel Vásquez's mesmerizing novel centers on Bogotá lawyer Antonio Yammara, who has good reason for questioning notions of self-determination. A young law professor with a pregnant wife, Antonio is wounded during the shooting of Ricardo Laverde, an acquaintance with a drug-smuggling past. The killing unfolds in a gluey, unreal smear, and Antonio awakens maimed in body and mind: impotent, withdrawn and unable to take comfort from a physician's brisk advice that he keep a diary and tot up "chances" and "statistics" relating to "real" dangers. Then, a magazine story with only the wispiest connection to his life submits Antonio to the "damaging exercise of remembering."
The story is related partly through Antonio's eyes, partly through flashbacks, and partly through documents and chronicles he retrieves; with their gaps and outright lies, the tales told by his sources advance and recede, and the seemingly fixed coordinates of Antonio's life change over time. Masterfully weaving together memories, cultural tides, and the causes grand and small behind human pain, The Sound of Things Falling is a painfully lucid consideration of fate.

text: Unfortunately, knowledge of what we're celebrating [on Independence Day] and why it's important is fading from our national memory. Last year, the American Revolution Center commissioned a major survey of adult Americans on the subject of our nation's birth. The good news: Americans overwhelmingly (90 percent) said knowledge of the American Revolution is important. And, when asked to grade their own knowledge of it, they were confident; 89 percent gave themselves a passing grade. But when given a test of their knowledge, 83 percent failed, with an average score of 44 percent. More than a third thought the right to assemble, march, protest, or petition the government is "important but not essential" or "not that important at all." More than half thought the Civil War, the Emancipation Proclamation, or the War of 1812 came before the Revolution. Meanwhile, 81 percent had no trouble identifying Michael Jackson as the performer responsible for "Beat It" and "Billy Jean." Students don't seem to know much more. Fifty-seven percent of 12th graders showed less than a basic level of knowledge of U.S. history on the most recent National Assessment of Educational Progress, and more than 80 percent of seniors at elite colleges and universities flunked a simple American history test. Why should we care or remember what happened in Philadelphia during that long-ago summer? Adams put it well when he said, "Liberty cannot be preserved without a general knowledge among the people." Ben Franklin, when asked if the Constitution established a monarchy or a republic, replied, "A republic, if you can keep it." If you can keep it! That's the worrisome thing about our historical amnesia. If we don't know why this country was founded, what the great creed of the Declaration of Independence is, or what the Constitution - the national blueprint - proclaims, we lose the ties that unite us: the principles and ideals won by the American Revolution and forged by our founding documents. So this Independence Day, let's remember what we're celebrating. And if our memory is fuzzy, let's read the Declaration of Independence and think about why it's still important.

PurrlGurrl's Venn Diagram
Click HERE to see it full-scale on your computer monitor.
So, in other words, PG believes that no UFO reports are made by honest, (i.e., non-deceptive) unimpaired individuals, competent to distinguish what they are seeing from alternative explanations?
By Larry, at Friday, June 28, 2013
Isn't her Venn diagram the wrong way round? The generic term 'UFO' denotes the whole field of sightings, landings, abductions etc. Therefore it is the UNION of all the categories, not the intersection.
This means 'UFO' encompasses the whole diagram, not just the small central area.
At least that is how I envisage it.
By cda, at Friday, June 28, 2013
I think PG's Venn diagram is a good representation of the linkages that surround key events as reviewed in this venue. The only qualifier I could add would have been to focus on the theoretical basis of conceptual modeling rather than single events.
Yesterday there was a synchronicity via a post at the Reality Sandwich website,that dovetails into this terrain as though it intentionally planned to detail the resulting psychological role playing depicted in PG's diagram, which I made a commentary upon within my own venue at Transit of Contingencies. The psychological framework of some in the "UFO" community adds to this portrait PG outlined.
Well done.
I tend to agree with Bruce, PURRLGURRL's Venn diagram points to a nice psychological component for the argument.
Larry, I see no hint that PG ruled out "honest unimpaired individuals." You seem to think that its implied? Most alleged sightings appear to be from those that are honest and unimpaired, at least that's how I view it. PG indirectly adds context, which tends to be sorely missing in our arguments.

But I can't see any place on her diagram that allows that possibility. Her diagram seems to be saying that all UFO reports are the result of either misidentification, deception, or impairment or, in the center of the diagram, all 3 factors simultaneously.
I will submit my own Venn diagram to show you what I mean.

Hey, it represents only my viewpoint. You're all free to have viewpoints of your own.
Remember, it's Ufology so none of us are right or correct because none of us can prove a damn thing (although some of us delude ourselves that we can). It's just all supposition and speculation.
Thanks to RR for spurring me to brush up on my Powerpoint.

PurrlGurrl, Where would you place yourself in your Venn Diagram?
I ask because I remember you mentioning your own UFO sighting in a comment on Mike Clelland's Hidden Experience blogspot.

Frankly, I really don't know what I saw. I can't define it based on anything stored in my cranial database. So by strict definition it was an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO). Does that mean it was an alien spacecraft or that I believe it was? Hell, no. Do I think I might have seen a rare natural phenomenon that I've never encountered before? That's a possibility.
I was wearing my glasses, was wide awake and alert, and had ingested no alcohol or chemical substances within the week.
Do I think I was hallucinating? No, but how do I prove I wasn't? I turned and drove away from what I saw and didn't see it through the windshield anymore, but rather disappearing in the rear view mirrors. Does that indicate I wasn't hallucinating or having a psychotic episode? I was alone so I don't think it does.
Am I lying? No, but how do I prove I'm not when I was alone in the dark in a rural area with no other cars around? There's no corroboration so I could be.
Did I report it to anyone? No. Any report to authorities would have been filed and forgotten as well as a waste of taxpayer money. Any report to a UFO Website would have been labeled an alien spacecraft sighting with no proof whatsoever.
I saw a round, very bright light, slowly changing colors over a large farm field where no farm lights are installed or equipment routinely parked. It wasn't a crop duster because it was at a dead stop when I first saw it. It looked like it might have been as high as maybe a five story building, but there are no buildings in that field. The height is purely a guess based on what I know of the surrounding terrain.
I spotted it after driving around a curve. I stopped the car and watched as it started to move very slowly across the field changing from red to orange to blue to white and repeating the sequence. It passed in front of the hills on the far side of the field that I could see outlined behind it so I know it could have been no more than five miles away, and it was lighting the underside of the clouds above.
It was silent. There was no wind or other noise that I could hear with the motor off and the window rolled down, again confirming to me it wasn't a crop duster. They make a hell of a racket, and here they don't fly at night. And to head off black helicopter/cattle mutilation speculation, that field is used strictly for crops, never for grazing, and there are no cows kept nearby.
I watched the light for a few minutes and then drove away because I got spooked being alone in the dark. Maybe if I stayed longer I might have discovered what is really was or maybe it would have remained a mystery. Who's to say?
Did my car engine sputter and die? No. I turned it off to listen. Have I received any telepathic messages about saving mankind or the planet? No. Did seeing this profoundly change my life? No. It unnerved me for about a day is all. Have I seen anything like it again? No. Do I expect I will ever see anything like it again? No.
Your response to the "UFO sighting" is not unlike my own -- I've had three over the years:
A skittering light in the night sky (witnessed by a group of kids and me).
The 1953 orange bar in the Detroit sky, reported by media and Fate magazine.
And a 1970s v-shaped flight of glowing or dull gray objects in the early morning sky (in Indiana).
I found the sightings slightly exiting and interesting but ended up, like you, merely observing the things -- only calling a Detroit newspaper about the skittering light(s) -- the paper didn't care.

> PG believes that no UFO reports are made by honest, (i.e., non-deceptive) unimpaired individuals, competent to distinguish what they are seeing from alternative explanations?
Larry, that is a huge non-sequitar. I have read several reports where honest, competent, unimpaired people see chinese lanterns but will say they are non-human craft because, even after they've been told of a nearby lantern release.
Their reasoning:
1) they don't resemble earth craft: "There's nothing I've ever seen that comes close to this. It goes to show that we are not in charge."
2) they don't make any sound: "Anything we have that flies makes noise."
3) they appear to fly in formation (therefore, intelligently controlled): "There is no way these were Chinese lanterns. Some people will say that, I'm sure, but that is not what we saw. What we saw were moving in an intelligent kind of direction. They were going in a trajectory. They weren't moving up. These were moving across, side to side."
These are actual quotes (see links).

NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk
NYX Jumbo Eye pencils are very soft and pigmented (at least the ones I have). Milk is no exception. Just look at it on my skin. It makes a perfect base for my eye make up.
When you have eyes like me that are closer together, you have to keep the inner corners of the eyes bright. That way they'll look farther apart. That's a nice trick, worth of remembering. ;)
This is a make up look I created using NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk in the inner corner of my eye. It made the bright eyeshadow stick to the skin better and look even brighter.
Products used for this look:
* Urban Decay Primer Potion
* NYX Jumbo Eye Pencil in Milk (inner corner and the line in the outer corner)
* Essence Eyeshadow in Mystic Lemon (inner corner)
* Pure Luxe Mineral Eyeshadow in Racy
* Essence Liquid Eyeliner (black)
* Essence Black Mania mascara
* Essence Brow & Lash Gel Mascara
* 88 Matte Eyeshadow Palette (taupe for brows, black for waterline)
I love this pencil, as I expected I would. It's soft, pigmented and very useful. I got my pencil on Ebay for approximately $5.00.
Tell me: do you own any NYX Jumbo Eye Pencils? If so, which shades are they in? I think I'll need to get a few more shades soon and I'm open to suggestions.
Thanks for looking!

I want thi pecil so baldy for a year I guess. But NYX don't ship to Europe so I don't have it. I've never used Ebay. Don't know why I don't like it. But thanks to "Milk" I'll probably try it, cause I need this pencil! Can you tell me the name of the seller You were buying from? Thank You so much!
PS: I also want shade called Levander! <3@Maja: Spodaj vedno uporabim primer, ki poskrbi, da je obstojnost daljša. Pri takih podlagah pa je vedno tombola (vsaj pri meni). Včasih zdrži brez posebnosti, včasih pa gre malo (ampak res malo) v gubo. Zadovoljna sem izjemno, pa še uporabljala ga bom večinoma samo v notranjem kotičku očesa, kjer ne more iti v gubo. ;)
@Feline: I use a little amount of it and pat eyeshadow on. It usually lasts for long enough.How funny! I've seen this being used everywhere now too! I got Strawberry Milk, Iced Mocha, and Cottage Cheese (because Milk wasn't available). Cottage Cheese looked similar until I actually put it on my eyes. It's more shimmery than Milk. I couldn't find Milk anywhere so I had to order it off Amazon (sold by NYX). Trusty Amazon has everything!
Thank you for taking your time and leaving a comment! I read all the comments and I'm happy of each and every one. However: any rude, inappropriate or otherwise disturbing comments will be deleted. Do not post links in my comments unless you're asked to. If you have a blog and want me to take a look at it, contact me via contact form or e-mail. Thanks!

John Harris says that as Google's claws dig ever deeper, its dominance of the web should be challenged.
It's the season of cyber-panic. On iPlayer, you can watch Adam Curtis tying together Ayn Rand, the crash of 2008 and early 20th century botany into a warning about computers threatening civilisation. The aftershocks of Nicholas Carr's admirably impactful book The Shallows ripple on, spreading an uneasy suspicion that the internet is corroding our mental faculties. Last week Nicolas Sarkozy hosted the eG8 forum, dragging the technology industry's big players to Paris, and lecturing them with a De Gaulle-esque sweep about the inviolable supremacy of governments, and the dangers of the online realm becoming "a parallel universe outside laws and morals".
We all know the tropes: porn, privacy, the mortal danger of Facebook for kids, and apocalyptic fears about cyber-warfare. Talking of which: on Wednesday, 24 hours after the Pentagon served notice that it would now consider any deliberate cyber-attack by a foreign state an "act of war" (that is, an action worthy of military retaliation), news broke of another assault on Google email accounts, allegedly launched from China. The targets reportedly included "senior US government personnel", whose across-the-board use of Gmail appears to make them vulnerable to this latest spurt of online mischief, based on "phishing" – that is, directing victims to divulge passwords via fake websites.
In response, Google urged its users to spend 10 minutes "taking steps to improve your online security so that you can experience all that the internet offers – while also protecting your data". The American government, perhaps, might also instruct its employees to make things that bit more difficult for hackers by spreading their email accounts around a bit.
That, though, is not the way our world seems to work. We seem to accept it as something as inarguable as the weather, but Google now has a terrifying dominance of the world's internet use. In Europe, it controls around 90% of the online search market. At the last count, Gmail had 193.3 million monthly users. In 2007 Google purchased DoubleClick, specialists in the technology whereby people's web habits are tracked, and ads are targeted accordingly. Google also owns YouTube, Blogger and the social networking site Orkut. When it comes to ownership of the smartphone operating system Android, things get complicated, but Google is effectively in charge, having acquired Android Inc in 2005.
And so the list goes on. Google's browser Chrome now accounts for 14.5% of European web use, and is on the up. As is Google's apparent appetite for any technology business it can get its hands on: in the first 10 months of 2010 alone, it spent .6bn on new acquisitions. If you have ever raged against the stranglehold practised by Rupert Murdoch, bear one thing in mind: Google's power now threatens to make him look like a village newsagent.
Rather than trying to put jump leads on increasingly impossible ideas about copyright enforcement, or somehow subjecting the web's endless information flows to the edicts of domestic courts, it's this issue that merits serious attention from the world's governments. Sarko et al should take note: compared to the old fear that Microsoft might monopolise access to the web via its software (the spark for its epic tussle with the US department of justice), we are talking about something of a completely different order. Google has a shot not at control of the means to access information, but the information itself. Potentially all information, which is something worth panicking about.
There are glimmers of hope. In one of those turnabouts that defy satire, Microsoft is pursuing Google via the European commission, claiming that it unfairly promotes its own services via web searches. In Texas, antitrust investigations by the attorney general's office are ongoing, triggered by websites' complaints about their lowly Google rankings. Thanks to a judge in New York, there are now very serious doubts about Google's quest to somehow digitise every book ever published (optimistically, it has already scanned 12m of them).
Meanwhile, there are rumblings about a possible watershed investigation by the Federal Trade Commission. Yesterday, Bloomberg ran a story with the headline "Google Antitrust Probe by US Could Take Years", and paraphrased a renowned technology lawyer: "The agency is likely to examine whether Google is using its position in internet search to subdue rivals in adjacent markets with threats and jacked-up advertising rates." It would certainly be a start.
In the meantime, some advice, not least for employees of the US government. Don't feed the tiger. Think back to the frontier days of dial-up, when pluralism reigned. Have a look around for alternative email providers, search engines and video-sharing sites. You can find them using Google. For the moment.

Flawed Light
American Women Poets and Alcohol
Women poets who found both inspiration and isolation at the bottom of the glass
The relationship between alcoholism and the poetic process has been well established, but the history of heavy-drinking poets in the twentieth century tilts disproportionately toward male writers such as John Berryman, Robert Lowell, or Theodore Roethke. Women poets, however, were just as susceptible to alcohol, and they very often wrote about its effects on their bodies, minds, and lives. In this study, Brett C. Millier looks at the role of drinking in the lives and poetry of American women poets in the first half of the twentieth century. Millier reads the poems of Dorothy Parker, Louise Bogan, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Elinor Wylie, L�onie Adams, Isabella Gardner, and Elizabeth Bishop--and in counterpoint, the poems of Jean Garrigue--to see how they negotiated their alcoholism with their art.
Despite the shame and isolation these writers suffered as a result of their heavy drinking and despite the oppressive restrictions on subject matter placed on women poets by the critical establishment in this era, these female poets nevertheless wrote about alcohol. Millier looks at figures for alcohol and inebriation that these writers used in their work in defiance of the masculine Modernist code of impersonality in art. As women in a remarkable tradition of female lyric poets, their subjects and voices were circumscribed by their sex, but their lasting poems artfully record these painful struggles.
"A skilled critic and biographer, Brett C. Millier makes a convincing case for the way these poems engage, often in veiled forms, with both the allures of alcohol for women writers and the consequent dangers of alcoholism. An intelligent and captivating work."--Thomas Travisano, editor of Words in Air: The Complete Correspondence Between Elizabeth Bishop and Robert Lowell
"An extraordinarily important, groundbreaking book that moves the study of women's poetry forward by great leaps. Millier offers precious new information about women poets and focuses on their shared life-frustrations as well as their shared aesthetic strategies."--Annie Finch, author of The Body of Poetry: Essays on Women, Form, and the Poetic Self

Shiver me timbers! This project is great for any little pirate's favourite treasures, and it's also an excellent way to bring a young woodworker into the shop for some practice. I chose butternut for this project, but any wood will do.
Start with all your stock milled to the final thickness and rip all pieces to final width. Let your little woodworker cross cut the bottom, front, back, end and lid end pieces to length.
Glue the front and back pieces to the bottom and clamp the assembly before setting aside to dry before nailing.
While you're waiting, have the junior sawyer work on cutting the 1/4"-thick slats to length. This is a good time to teach the novice how to lay out a line using a square. I also recommend a bench hook fitted with a toggle clamp to support the wood. This item holds the workpiece firm, allowing the child to focus on using the handsaw rather than keeping the wood steady while sawing.
Let the nailing begin. Predrill all nail holes for practice and to prevent splitting. I suggest a broken drill bit chucked into a hand drill so that the chuck will act as a depth stop. A child has better control with a short bit that does not flex. (If you don't have a broken bit, don't worry–you soon will.)
Select two of the lid slats, then glue and clamp them to join the short end faces of the lid ends.
Leatherwork begins during this second drying period. As with the wood, I cut the leather into long strips and let the child cut those pieces to length with scissors. Punch a hole 1/2" from the ends of the two leather straps, then secure the handles with 5/8"-long pan-head screws.
Unclamp the lid assembly and start gluing and nailing slats into place using 1"-long finishing nails. Begin at the front, omitting the nails in the sixth and ninth top slats as well as the back face slat. You will fasten the leather hinge straps (as well as the slats) using common nails instead of finishing nails. The head of the common nail is large enough not to pull through the leather, keeping the hinge operational.
Put the lid in place and secure it with masking tape before nailing the leather hinge to the back of the lower portion of the treasure chest assembly.
For a natural finish, I recommend mineral oil. In the kids' woodworking classes I teach, we always wear face masks and gloves, even when working with food-grade mineral oil. This is mostly to teach good work habits for the future, even though mineral oil is non-toxic and is a popular finishing choice for cutting boards.
Don't worry about filling the chest with valuables. As Franz Kafka once said: "Anything that has real and lasting value is always a gift from within."
I find this is a popular project with the kids in my woodworking seminar. Any building project is about more than working the wood. It is incredibly rewarding to share the joy of building something with your own hands with someone else. However, the rewards are twofold, as you will take away as much as you impart.
My best advice to all woodworkers who bring children into the shop is to exercise patience. Never redo an operation that one of the kids has just performed; instead suggest that perhaps they might want to give an edge a bit more sanding or some other constructive tip. Remember the object of this exercise is not to cut and glue lumber into a box so much as it is to mould and bond people through achievement.

Horrible Home For Sale Photos of the Day!
In California, would-be real estate agents have to pass an examination to obtain a valuable, state-issued license.
But there is no requirement that the Realtors know a damn thing about activating a camera or taking a decent photograph.
This fact can have tragic, if hilarious, consequences for homeowners trying to sell their Orange County properties.
There were plenty of nominations but here are today's horrible home for sale photos of the day:
This photo and the ones below are being used by real estate agents in hopes of selling Orange County homes. |

As some of you may know, I do some blogging at AOL. I just put up a post recently which I'd also intended to put up here. As writers who write about drinks, I think it is also imperative to mention the very real consequences of the alcoholic jewels we rave about, even as just a gentle reminder not to enjoy these gems a little too much. Despite all the media that has been devoted to the perils of drinking and driving or even over-consumption, the statistics still show an alarming amount of incidents involving alcohol. Some might point to declining fatality stats as a sign of progress, but my answer to that would be to point out the window on the corner of 1st and Union outside our restaurant late on a Friday or Saturday night.
In other words, be safe out there this New Years.

Okay, okay...
Has it really been that long since I posted something? Really? September? Well, I'm settling in to my new digs, finally, and do have a backlog of cocktails, rants and miscellaneous stuff to share. I promise, some new stuff is on the way.
In fact, I'll make it my New Years resolution...I'll get started...um, tomorrow.
Have a happy and safe New Years, everyone.

As they walked down the MIT side of Memorial Drive with the Charles River on their left, a beer-buzzed McHugh playfully pushed Donovan into walkers, joggers, and other passers-by who were enjoying the 75-degree evening weather. Velez — who, according to acquaintances, was "harmless alone, but an instigator when surrounded by friends and fueled with alcohol" — walked off to the side.
The three continued heading west, at one point stopping briefly to swallow their pride and apologize after McHugh hip-checked Donovan into a large man with an athletic build. Although he could have likely walloped the troublemakers on his own, the runner spared them, and even after scolding them engaged in small talk with the teens about the Led Zeppelin tune blaring through his headphones.
Their next encounter wouldn't end so passively. At about 9:45 pm, right before the boys approached the Harvard Bridge, they ran into two Norwegian MIT students, 21-year-old Yngve Raustein and 22-year-old Arne Fredheim, who were, according to Fredheim's testimony, also slightly intoxicated, conversing, and paying little attention to sidewalk traffic.
Moving swiftly from the Thirsty Ear Pub on MIT's West campus to the Muddy Charles Pub on East campus, Raustein and Fredheim passed between the East Cambridge kids, leaving Donovan in the middle to bump shoulders with Raustein. Still insecure about backing down to the jogger minutes earlier, Donovan turned to the students, who had walked on about 20 feet, and demanded an apology. In a weak moment, Donovan was likely attempting to live up to stories he'd heard about his rugged merchant-marine grandfather and his great-grandfather, Johnny Donovan, a New England lightweight boxing champ from South Boston. Before Raustein and Fredheim could make peace, Donovan, who was also aggravated at what he perceived as two college boys laughing at him in a foreign language, stepped to them. Then, without warning, Donovan cocked back his right arm, punched Raustein in the temple, and knocked the Norwegian to the ground, injuring his own outside knuckles in the process.
Although Donovan never yelled for backup, his co-defendants jumped into action, escalating what would have been an assault-and-battery charge into first a robbery and then the unthinkable. As Donovan bent over in pain, squeezing his injured fist between his thighs, he saw Velez instruct Fredheim to surrender his wallet. At the same time, in the darkness and about 15 feet away (and, Donovan claims, unbeknownst to him), McHugh thrust his new seven-and-a-half-inch spring-loaded buck knife through Raustein's heart, then wiped the blade on his victim's shirt and stole his wallet.
Immediately after the roughly 30-second fracas, Donovan bolted across Memorial Drive and over the Harvard Bridge into Boston. McHugh and Velez fled the scene as nearby witnesses began shouting, eventually tossing the stolen wallets into the Charles. They soon caught up to Donovan, who stopped running but was walking quickly to escape from what he believed was the scene of an assault and robbery.
Less than 10 minutes later, the three assailants stopped at a Beacon Street Li'l Peach at the intersection of Mass Ave. Donovan was still nervous, but didn't think Boston cops would bother chasing down teenagers who jumped someone across the river. Plus, they figured they were safe since Velez and McHugh had tossed the stolen wallets in the river.
