All There Needs to Be Said
August Kleinzahler
- The Poem of a Life: A Biography of Louis Zukofsky by Mark Scroggins
Shoemaker and Hoard, 555 pp, $30.00, December 2007, ISBN 978 1 59376 158 5
Born on the Lower East Side in 1904 to immigrant Russian Jewish parents, Louis Zukofsky spent his entire life in New York City, reading and writing and doing as little else as possible. He was abstemious, hypochondriac, a chain-smoker; he cared little for food, took almost no exercise and insisted that the windows of his apartment be shut tight at all times: he was very susceptible to draughts. At 35 he married a Jewish pianist and composer called Celia Thaew, whom he had met six years before while supervising a Work Projects Administration programme. She had had a copy of William Carlos Williams's In the American Grain at the corner of her desk, which she had bought so she'd have something to read on the long subway ride to and from work. The couple had a son, Paul, in 1943, a musical prodigy and now a well-known violinist and conductor.
Over the course of his long writing life Zukofsky produced several volumes of lyric poetry, a good deal of it splendidly musical, spare and challenging. It's hard to determine what any given poem is about, however; Zukofsky's work is resistant to that sort of reading, and he held that the meaning was embedded in the sound. Kenneth Rexroth, reviewing Some Time in 1956, wrote that the poems were 'exercises in absolute clarification, crystal cabinets full of air and angels'. Here, in the first half of a poem for the two-year-old Paul, Zukofsky seems to have had Herrick's 'To Daffodils' in mind:
Little wrists,
Is your content
My sight or hold
Or your small air
That lights and trysts?
Red alder berry
Will singly break;
But you – how slight – do:
So that even
A lover exists.
As well as shorter lyrics Zukofsky wrote an 800-page poem entitled A. He also wrote book-length studies of Apollinaire and Shakespeare, the latter including Celia's 232-page musical setting of Pericles. The first 450 pages or so of the Shakespeare book consist almost exclusively of quotations, from the plays themselves and from the writings of scores of philosophers, physicists, painters, poets, religious figures, you name it, based loosely on Zukofsky's notion that 'Love is to reason as the eyes are to the mind.' There was a teaching anthology in 1948, A Test of Poetry, very close in format to Ezra Pound's ABC of Reading, which placed poems from different eras side by side and evaluated them by measuring 'sight, sound and intellection'. Any poem can only be improved by reading it, as is also true of Pound's book. He also wrote critical essays and a book's worth of fiction that is slight and mannered, but playful, charming, and at moments brilliant. With Celia he produced a translation of Catullus in 1961 which 'follows the sound rhythm and syntax of his Latin – tries, as is said, to breathe the "literal" meaning with him'. It fails to do this, but is nevertheless Zukofsky's greatest achievement and, intermittently, one of the most idiosyncratic and memorable translations in English. Here's a patch:
What demented malice, my silly Ravidus,
Eggs your pricked conceit into my iambics?
What god not too benign that you invoked would
care dream your parrot's skit of ire and ruckus?
And it wants to purr in the public vulva?
What wish to live it up, be noticed – apt as
air is, squandering in my love's amorous
vice longer than you wished it, marred but poignant.
Catullus' carnality makes a good foil for the severe, involuted and cerebral quality of much of Zukofsky's own poetry.
Zukofsky, like Charles Olson and Jeremy Prynne, is a monstre sacré: his reputation precludes any serious discussion of individual pieces of work. The project is the thing, not a particular piece of writing. How we feel about Zukofsky is affected by how we feel about difficulty, a quality greatly valued by what was once called the avant-garde. Zukofsky is difficult, usually if not always. Another problem in assessing his achievement is that his major work, A, is an unholy mess, an extraordinarily complex, often brilliant and heroic mess, but a mess.

Mary Ingelman, the First Witch of Winnsboro, S.C.
From the site:
The Salem witch trials were not the last of its kind to be held in North America. In 1999 I visited the history museum in Fairfield County, South Carolina and was shown some news paper articles and one article from FATE magazine that all referenced a manuscript written before 1854 by Mr. Philip Edward Pearson. It talks about an illegal trial where a lady named Mary Ingelman was accused, found guilty and tortured for being a witch in 1792 in my county. I had always thought that in America there were no other witch trials after 1692. Now I wonder how many other "witch" trials have been held in our country, hidden away and not talked about.
Mr. Pearson practiced law in South Carolina and had served for many years as the Solicitor of the South Carolina Middle Circuit which included Fairfield County. He later moved to Metagorda Texas, but not before selling his manuscript, History of Fairfield County, South Carolina to a Dr. John H. Logan. The manuscript ended up in Mr. Lyman C. Draper's historical source-material collections which is now in the library of the Wisconsin Historical Society in Madison, Wisconsin.
In the year of 1792 in Fairfield County there were many strange things happening to the people that lived there. At that time, in a neighboring county, a group called the Gifted Brethren were broken up for practicing hypnosis and mis teaching the trinity of the Christian church. One of its founders was tried in Charleston S.C. for heresy and found guilty and hanged. Also in 1792 many cattle got sick and people began to act possessed.

I work at the Fairfield County Museum in Winnsboro and we were just discussing this story, about an hour or so ago. The director was telling it, but was a little sketchy on details. I was actually do research on something else when this popped up and thought "how cool"! Thanks!

This is WiLL the person who wrote this first article for the internet about Mary Ingelman and published it back in 2001. It has amazed me to see the great interest in this woman. So I have made some small changes to the article and just re-published it to my website today on July 6, 2007. I LOVE visiting the Fairfield County Museum and I feel history is worth preserving. I plan to go and visit the location where the house once stood very soon and I will post some photos of the land.

- United States Grand Prix - FP3
Vettel tops times again, but Hamilton gets closer
- Race:
- United States Grand Prix
- Drivers:
- Lewis Hamilton
- |
- Pastor Maldonado
- |
- Sebastian Vettel
Sebastian Vettel made it three out of three after topping final practice at the United States Grand Prix to add to his two dominant Friday practice performances.
Vettel's best time of 1:36.490 was 0.258s faster than Lewis Hamilton in second as Red Bull led the way again at the Circuit of the Americas. However, Hamilton was much closer than on Friday and Pastor Maldonado is also looking in contention for the front two rows of the grid after setting the third fastest time, 0.511s off Vettel.
Ferrari's Fernando Alonso was fourth fastest after visibly struggling to get heat into the medium compound tyres for his final run on the cool 16C track surface. He ended the session 0.690s off his championship rival's best time, but in with a shot at the second row of the grid in qualifying.
Overall the lap times dropped again from the drivers' efforts on Friday afternoon, but it took several laps to warm up the medium compound tyres before they offered their optimum performance. Nevertheless, overall grip levels remained low and several drivers made errors, especially in the final sector, as they attempted to lower their times. Qualifying should see some knife-edge driving.
Nico Rosberg was fifth fastest as Mercedes continued to show improved performance this weekend, and ahead of Felipe Massa's Ferrari and Mark Webber's Red Bull back in seventh. Sergio Perez was eighth fastest after clocking a lap within a second of Vettel, but also demonstrated the uglier side of his driving when he clouted Charles Pic into a spin at turn seven.
Perez was clearly quicker but inexplicably launched his Sauber up the inside of Pic's Marussia, resulting in inevitable contact at the apex. The Mexican, who has significant home support around the circuit, threw his hands in the air but was clearly the one to blame. After appearing in front of the stewards on Friday for weaving, his reprimand count could hit the magic three, resulting in a 10-place grid penalty, if the stewards take a dim view on his most recent stunt.
Nico Hulkenberg and Jenson Button rounded off the top ten after the McLaren driver failed to improve his time on the medium compound tyres. Further down the order the Lotuses continued to struggle in the cooler climes and Jean-Eric Vergne's session came to an early end after he broke his Toro Rosso's suspension by clouting a kerb.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Friday, May 23, 2008
Charlie Allen Explains it in Black and White
"Glad to help....but haven't a clue whether any of this is available these days. Something similar should be. Tools....plain old wooden pen holder. Pen points: 'Hunt' number 303 and Globe (little nib, like a bank pen)....Windsor Newton numbers 2 and 4 sable brushes....Higgins India ink, or equivalent..."
"...and, (this is no longer made, in fact) Whatman hot press, or surface No. 1, illustration board. Mother is....no....necessity is the mother of invention....and something could be conjured up these days to work, I'm sure!"
All that sounded great -- but I had a feeling the illustrators out there would want even more detail. So I pressed Charlie to elaborate - and, gentleman that he is, he accommodated me:
"WOW....A complete art lesson! OK.....one steel spot per day, at least. 3 to 4 days to complete the four illustrations. Thumbnails for a beginning, then a charcoal pencil comp for BBD&O..."
"... then part Lucy and part drawing on the finished board. As with cars, certain parts can be 'Lucied', (faces for example) and the rest interpreted, or drawn. Then the ink rendering..."
"...and the reason I loved Whatman Board was that it could be erased. I had an electric eraser....and used it a lot! Some illustrations resembled a 'battlefield'! Hope this helps....but, as I learned early on, you learn by doing. And every illustrator I knew had HIS way of getting the job done!
But Charlie wasn't finished sharing his wisdom just yet. So here's some more from the master of black and white:
"Now...take cover....art lesson coming! On every color illustration since the dawn of man, the illustrator has to juggle four main elements (like a four ball juggler)....drawing, composition or design, values, and color."
"Color is the least important....the other three equally important. Best example of this was Robert Fawcett. His color was of least importance....on the other three he excelled. On B&W line art, the elements are drawing, composition, values (if halftone screen is added) and texture. Texture is the added challenge....and a lot of artists never 'got it'. "
"Have no idea why I started all this...except to say a good color illustration should photograph well in B&W halftone....and I think these 24 sheet posters do."
Whew! Many thanks to Charlie Allen for sharing such a wealth of art and information with us this week! I know I'm not alone in saying how much we learned from - and enjoyed - his invaluable contributions.

Oh yeah...this was a great week. I love line art. Good tip on the power of values in illustration too.ReplyDelete
Thanks for sharing Charlie!
Thank you for this weeks entries. Charlie Allen's pen work is amazing. Clean and not "overdrawn".ReplyDelete
Now to show my own ignorance, what does "lucy" mean?
Hi Dave,ReplyDelete
A lucy is a projector (lucidograph) where you could take a photograph, or a sketch and project it on to your illustration board. We used these at art school. They were long, horizontal contraptions and had a track where you would pin up your photo. Then you could move the track back and forth to enlarge, or reduce.
And no, using a Lucy isn't cheating as some folks think, it's just a tool;-)
P.S. While I was typing this response to Dave, Bruce beat me to the punch. This will be more than you ever wanted to know about a "Lucy"... ha!ReplyDelete
It's a nickname for an overhead opaque projector. Most illustrators back then used them for speed... getting visual information down quickly, by tacking a photo or image to a vertical board, then switch on a spot light, and the image would project through a lens onto a horizontal table top to draw from. A black cloth encircled the whole machine, to keep unwanted light out. The image could be enlarged, reduced and focused... we could even distort the image somewhat.
"Time was money", so anything that could save time was fare game. The key however, was that an illustrator had to understand those essentials of picture making that Charlie Allen pointed out. He knew how to use a "Lucy" as a TOOL, and not a CRUTCH, and that's part of why his illustrations never looked artificial.

Thanks, Charlie. Your comment on Fawcett is exactly why I study his work. I remember reading an interview with Bob Peak, mentions that he needed to re-draw, not scale, so his work wouldn't lose that spontaneous feel.ReplyDelete
Just googled "pen+nibs+Hunt" and got 21,000 hits. Charlie's pen points are still available in cyberspace.
Never used Whatman, but double-weight cold-press Crescent. At the end, all I could get was Letraset board. (The single weight wouldn't let you re-work the surface. Whatman was clearly superior, so I think it was an economics decision.)
BTW, "projector+Lucigraph" got exactly 6 pages, and no leads. Y'all who used the horizontal model had it easy-- we had the vertical model with hand pulleys in front, standing, staring into those 4 monster bulbs until we saw blue spots.
The female artists at the studio thought the guys were being cute "naming" the machines, so they named the Velox camera; in additon to "Lucy" there was "Aggie" (Agfa). LOL
- Anonymous11:18 PM
Re: ",not scale," in previous post.ReplyDelete
I was hasty. I meant Peak disliked mere tracing and re-drew fresh when he used a Lucy.
I found at least two different models of opaque projectors--new ones, at that--in a Currie's art shop in Toronto, Ontario, this last January, so they're still around and still being manufactured.ReplyDelete
- Harry Borgman12:10 PM
Hi Leif, It was a great week, I always enjoy seeing Charlie's work, I saw a lot of it when I worked at Campbell-Ewald. The tools he used are the same ones that I used for all of my ink line work. Whatman board was an excellent surface to ink on and the electric eraser was indispensable. Most of the illustrators I worked with back in Detroit used a Besseler projector instead of the Lucy.ReplyDelete

Thanks Leif & Charlie for this exhaustive thread.
Very interesting to see the progress of those thumbnails up to the ink rendering. As if looking through a camera and then focussing: From a somewhat blurred picture to a real sharp one. Oh! Still love to look at that tractor, the furrows and all...
Charlie`s art lesson was a highlight for me, in all it's irony: First I took cover, as recommended, but then the chance.
He even is his own art critic! Why does he say those grey values are badly managed on that Del Monte ad?
Mmmmh, if I were an art teacher, I´d present that question to the students; just wondering how many of them might understand...
Also liked Tom's comparison of the tool and the crutch, which just hits the nail on the head.
Thanks once more, Charlie!
Thank you to Charlie, and to the others who have commented here. What a great week!ReplyDelete
Great detail to the process. The board does make a big difference if you are doing a lot of erasing because with some boards, if you rub off the top layer as you erase, any further ink application will soak in and bleed. Never heard of Whitman/Whatman brand.ReplyDelete
Did Charlie mention his habit of working from a drawing board arranged to let him work while he was in bed? Chris Kenyon and Jim Sanford used to marvel at Charlie's work and told me stories, perhaps apocryphal, but most entertaining about that secret element in his style! His inking abilities are second to none, and set a style that was considered the Northern California look, if my memory of Jim Sanford's comments is clear. Chris and Jim would both make good subjects for investigation. chuckReplyDelete
I worked as a 'medical illustrator 81e30' at the Medical Field Service School, Brook Army Medical Center in San Antonio in 1969-70 (draftee, obviously!) and our Training Aids section had a real treasure trove of what are now antique art devices -- paid for by taxpayer largess. Hell, there was a war, albeit a very unpopular one, on! I was offered Specialist 6 (E6) to re-up.ReplyDelete
We had a big black Lucie that I would LOVE to have right now, but it was a rear-projection version. These comments seem to mention only overhead types.
We considered it a major expedient; we were expected to produce a lot, probably some not so good, to be too useful to send to 'Nam -- we supposed. Being artistic was just circumstantial -- most of the good 'art jobs' were done by contracted civilians. Lots of picking up cigarette butts, too.
I have an Edmunds Scientific 'how to' booklet on how to make drawing devices which spells it "luciograph" and shows it as only a rear projector. Advantage: the artist's body parts don't get in the way, and it reproduces without reversing the image. I was about to make one, but if I could buy a used on it would be great! Tho I got an MA in art/education, I ended up happily teaching Kindergarten (lotsa good creative art!) and nearing retirement, want to try some illustrating again.
PS: my magnum opus for the Medical Corps was a leathercraft manual for rehabilitation therapy, plus a bunch of motivational slides with Yellow Submarine/Peter Max type comix!!

... with a sweater.
|Beautiful colours, beautiful lacy design

If you have the book "A Stitch in Time," I think the "sun-ray ribbing" pattern is very similar to this sweater, but with two colors and a different neck.
Gosh totally agree that sweater is quite a stunner!
Ashley B - Thanks for the tip, I do have that book and LOVE it, I'll be sure to give it a look when I'm back home, thanks again!
kitchen bumpkin - I know, I'm totally obsessed with it :) Glad you like it too!
Le swoon indeed! Vintage sweaters, especially from the 30s and 40s, can pretty much do no wrong. This peachy pink and grey one is wonderful!
- Emily
Swoon-tastic!!! :)
Tis pretty, I agree. She could look a little happier in it couldn't she? Sadly my knitting abilities begin and end with scarves (and a pair of very dubious legwarmers) but I do have much love for old sewing and knitting patterns - so appealing. I have some delightful 70s and 80s ones which I also keep for the horrific pictures ;-)
I will keep my eye open for you on my many charity shop jaunts
Emily & Gracie - I totally agree, as a rule 30s/40s knitwear is just stunning, that's probably why I spend so much of my time trying to recreate it!
LandGirl1980 - I'm still swooning now!
Lakota - With knitting I find practice makes perfect, I cant even remember the amount of uglies I produced that I never even wore! I bet your scarves are beautiful :) Thanks for keeping a look out for me!
Gosh, I wish I could see the front up close more! The back keyhole would be easy, and the colors would be easy as the stripes aren't too wide so you could just carry the unused color along the back, alternating color per stripe.
It looks like the stitch pattern on the yoke changes probably right after the armhole bind off, when the pink stripes get skinnier. That would be the harder part figuring out. The blue stripes on the yoke almost look like garter stitch, or almost slightly ruched.
You could always start a thread on Ravelry soliciting opinions, lots of people do that for movie/tv knits they see and want to try and recreate! :)
Tasha - you truly are my knitting guru, I was just thinking about doing a sort of copy of the sweater using a close-enough pattern, and you smash those ideas by thinking of an actual replica of my own making! You're awesome, you rock my world. I'm off to make a thread right now, you have inspired me! Thanks for broadening my horizons, I love a challenge :)
Oh, I can't stop thinking about this sweater either! A friend of mine gave me the link to your blog post and I am so glad of the options here! I think the feather stitch sweater is a good option. The yoke though...
I was thinking of modifying Audrey in Unst as a pullover with keyhole in the back and something like that feather stitch, but it's a lot of modifying...
I'll keep an eye on your quest for the perfect pattern!
Hi Lieke, I'm so glad I'm not the only one who obsesses over this sweater! I'm actually looking at ways to make my own pattern for this sweater now, I've spoken to a couple of people and it looks fairly simple on paper, whether or not it would work in practice is another thing! I'll be sure to post on my blog when I make some headway so be sure to check back :) Thanks for your comment and hopefully we'll both end up with a version of this gorgeous sweater some day :)
oh I fell in love with this jumper too when I first saw it, I tried to figure out how re-create it but its a bit (read way) beyond my pattern creating skills! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!!!

i paid for the pattern but there is no pattern after i paid!!! what shoud i do?
Jun 5, 2012, 02.50 PMby darksidepoints
I understood the interfacing instructions (and chose not to interface) but the part about attaching the underlap I don't get at all. It seems like that would have a raw seam? I would like to make it again a little longer.

Think this would be great to wear with a sari!!!
Feb 22, 2011, 05.12 AMby kaitiek
I thought this would make a nice bodice for a dress, but I wasn't that impressed. I finished this pattern in an evening, and in that sense it was a novice level pattern since it came together quickly.
However, the fact that seam allowances are not included made cutting it a pain, since you need to do different allowance for straight and curved pieces, and some pieces are so close to being straight that it's a little hard to tell. It didn't match up very well when I put in the bust pieces. I don't think I'd bother with it again, especially with the unclear interfacing instructions and lack of pattern layout.
I'm looking for a similar bustier bodice pattern that sews together very easily if anyone has any other suggestions.
Feb 17, 2011, 01.39 PMby little-meep
Reminds me of the Vuitton A/W2010 collection. I want it!
Feb 16, 2011, 11.52 PMby kaitiek
I don't understand the instructions where it says: interfacing: see pattern layout and step 5. As far as I can tell there is no pattern layout. Which pieces require interfacing (by number)?? I need something more clear in a novice pattern!

HPAC artists share work
On Saturday Aug.10, the Hyde Park Art Center, 5020 S. Cornell Ave., introduced a new exhibition, "Front & Center," presenting work from their developing artists in The Center Program. Michelle Harris' "autobiographical" piece consisted of a table surface displaying clay objects around a woven rug. A recent spinal injury left Harris unable to bend down,(…)

Watch: Out Olympian Gus Kenworthy Talks Naked Photos with Ellen
Ahead of heading to South Korea for the Winter Olympics this month, openly gay free skier Gus Kenworthy made time to stop by "The Ellen DeGeneres" show to talk about what's most important - his marvelous nudes!
Kenworthy has never been shy about showing off his buff bod, and he and Ellen talked about his iconic ESPN magazine photoshoot in which he posed nude on top of a snowy mountain.
"Is that aerodynamic? Is it better to ski naked?" Ellen jokingly asked. "Was it cold right there?"
"It was freezing," Kenworthy said. "When I shot this we were supposed to be in warm weather, and I was expecting like slushy snow and the sun, [but] it was freezing. It was not warm at all. We had to be outside for like six hours."
Later in the interview, the athlete talked about the injuries he's endured while skiing, including a bruised leg. A photo of Kenworthy, wearing nothing except tiny black briefs, appeared on the screen behind them.
"Wow, let's just keep looking at that," Ellen says. "I mean, I think somebody wants to leave it up in the control room!"
Watch the interview below.

We met at the Santa Monica outpost of the Bodega wine bar. Though it was fairly dark inside, I recognized his face at the bar. I waved and walked toward him. As he stood up, his body did not match his face, or any of his online pictures. He was not the same guy surfing in the wetsuit, or wearing the tux, or looking all skinny with his bushy brown hair. He must have gained 50 pounds, maybe more. Beneath his beige button-down shirt I could see man boobs.
"Shall we get a table?" he asked.
As I turned to walk toward the table, my mouth gaped open in disbelief, as though I were protesting to some unseen observer, can you believe this? It was deception, plain and simple. What was he thinking? That his sparkling personality would so charm me that I wouldn't mind being lured with misleading pictures?
"Do you want food?" the waiter asked.
I hadn't eaten dinner, but I wanted to get out of there as quickly as possible. Mr. Misrepresentation wanted to know if the fingerling potatoes were French fries. Then he wanted to know if the wine bar had French fries.
"I really like French fries," he announced.
I kept looking at him, trying to reconcile the person in front of me with the person in his photos. I asked him how many women he'd been out with from the dating website.
"More than two and less than 50," he said. His profile said he was a lawyer. He'd graduated law school a year ago but failed the bar. More misrepresentation.
"Such a lawyerly answer," I said.
He went into a long-winded explanation of how he didn't keep a scorecard but finally said, "Nine or 10. You?"
"The same." He was date No. 9.
"And how many of those were total jerks you couldn't wait to get away from?"
"Three." I didn't even have to think about it.
"What happened?"
Though talking about other online dates is not the way to go when you're on an online date, I didn't care, and I willingly launched into my stories. After telling him about the two most obnoxious guys, I said, "and some people are deceptive."
Then I stared down at my salad.
"Are you trying to say something about me?"
I looked up at him and started reeling all over again.
"Do you think you look like your pictures?"
"Well, I've gained a few pounds."
A few pounds?
"You should put a more recent picture up," I said, looking back down at my salad.
The waiter eventually brought the check in a small glass. Mr. Misrepresentation stared at it for a while, then he took out his credit card and put it into the glass.
I did nothing. I still felt angry and disappointed. After sitting there for more than an hour, making conversation and forcing myself to get through the date, I had to say something before I left.
"You know, you really don't look like your pictures."
There. I said it.
"I think I am how I describe myself," he said.
"You weren't what I was expecting at all." He needed to hear it. "When was that surfing picture of you taken?"
"Four years ago. But the caption says 2007," he said defensively.
"I don't want to be mean, really," I said. "I don't want to hurt your feelings. But right now you're setting it up for both people to get disappointed. I can't believe I'm the first person to feel this way, though I might be the first one honest enough to say it."
"I'm not a thin person," I said, "but I look like my picture." To which he responded with some faint noise in his throat as though he were vaguely implying I didn't.
Was I a horrible, superficial shrew? No, I was tired of being deceived, of being a once-hopeful dater worn down by exaggerations about height, omissions about children and divorces, and, most disappointing of all, false representation of one's readiness to be in a committed relationship. So many guys looking for some action masqueraded as seekers of relationships, of girlfriends, of "partners in crime," even soul mates. If he would lie to me about this, what else would he lie about? I needed more than physical attraction. I needed honesty.
"I'm gonna get going," I said. "Thanks for taking me out."
I stood up and grabbed my jacket.
"You're leaving?" he said, incredulous. "You're just going to walk out?"
I started to walk away, and he shouted after me, "And you're going to stick me with the bill?"
I walked as fast as I could out the door.
The next day, I went online to reconcile the image he presented with what I'd seen. Only he'd taken down every photo and put up a more recent, more accurate shot of a heavier him wearing a baggy black shirt and standing next to Wayne Knight, the comic actor who played Newman on Seinfeld. Seriously. The caption read, "What you see is what you get."

GilPayment Arrangement and Revised Tax Return for 2012
I refer to your letter dated 9/10/12 requesting me to pay a sum of $169,718.31, of which $65,664.40
beingis the tax on my income, and $104,053.91 being PAYG and GST payables. I am not in a position to pay the whole amount immediately but I shall takemake every endeavour to pay the PAYG and GST portion of the debt in 24 monthly instalments if you pleasewould consider waiving offthe interest and penalty amounting to $9,169.91 charged on this debt,which is an additional burden hindering the smooth ongoingoperation of themy business.
I started this catering business, a contract business, in Jan 2011 and entrusted the accounts to an accountant who submitted my tax returns for the financial year 2012 to ATO. My accountant, when he submitted my tax incomes
hasindicated that I had made a profit of $191,473 before taxes. This submission was made by my accountant on line and he had not made me aware of it (Does this mean that he submitted it via the Internet? If so, use "on-line").
I had to prepare
6six meals each for about 80-100 people each day. My purchases of food items accountamounted to about $5,000 per week and this amounts to about $260,000 per year, whereas what is shown in the accounts submitted to you is $192,881. Due to a situation where I had been forbidden to access the work premises by the other party of the catering contract for a few months and the othertime I kept myself busy with the catering business, I have lost or misplaced a large number of receipts offrom supermarkets in respect ofto food items purchased. There was not anya single receipt kept for the months of, to my memory, April or June 2012. Therefore, the theamount of about $68,000 spent on purchases of food items was missed outin the expenses. My taxable income must have beenbe reduced by this amount.
Unfortunately, the electronic backup copy of the accounts for the 2012 financial year is not available in our system. I do not know whether the backups are with the accountant but I understand a copy has been lodged (sent or transmitted?) to ATO. I am a novice when it comes running a business and bookkeeping. All the time I have been busy with numerous things related to this catering business and
couldn'tdidn't pay enough attention onto the bookkeeping side. I have employed a bookkeeper now, and in the future, I am confident that the books arewill be kept up to date to furnish all the accounts statements to ATO inon time.
Hence, this being the first time I have entered into a strenuous business of the type I am doing I shall thank you to consider my revised tax return which I attach herewith. I also request you to give me an instalment payment option, over a period of 24, months for the revised tax amount which I owe to ATO to be paid off.

The Bouleuterion (Council House) was central to the civic life of Aphrodisias in antiquity. Like a modern town hall, it served as the meeting place of the city's administrative council (the Boule) and as a multi-purpose indoor theatre, concert hall and assembly place. It is semi-circular and was originally roofed with seating for an estimated 1750 persons, and a richly decorated stage. During excavations in the 1960's eight over life size marble statues were found in the ruins of the stage building. They are now in the museum. They originally stood between the columns of the buildings elaborate two-storied marble façade (facing the auditorium). They included images of gods and personifications associated with the Boule, as well as portraits of leading citizens.

Greetings to you all from Birmingham UK.
Subject description: An introduction of myself to Puppy Linux forum users.
Good afternoon to everyone on the Puppy Linux forum here.
My name is Mark and I come from Birmingham England.
I became aware of Linux some two weeks ago and after two weeks of head scratching and hair pulling, I have now done a full install of Puppy 4.2 to the hard drive of my eee pc 4gb machine.
I have found your forum to be an absolute godsend, the way that information is passed around freely and assistance with issues given out has really amazed me - I never came across a more helpful group of people in one place before and it gives your forum a real friendly, approachable and welcoming atmosphere.
I still have many issues with my installation and a million questions that I need answers to, but for now I am enjoying browsing the forum here, and at ubuntu forums, to try to find answers to my questions.
But, I hope you will not mind if, in time, I call in and ask for some advice or assistance in getting my installation running and feeling as well as the ones that you guys appear to enjoy.
Love GNU Linux, Love murga-linux . com and love Puppy Linux!
I wish you all a terrific day.
Kind regards,

hey mark
welcome aboard
puppy is VERY easy to use and very flexible so I think you'll have a lot of fun with it
if you haven't tried it already puppeee1.0 was a eeepc specific build and is worth a go
it doesn't take long to dispense with windows after taking the plunge, back in the day I wiped windows from all my machines so I had to 'just get on with it'
I use puppy 24/7 now
you would be wiser to use the 'frugal' install method as it's much more versatile, you can have a few flavours to play with and it was designed for this method
I have puppeee1.0 and slacko on the eee, slacko, upup, fatdog64 (VERY fast) on my daily lenovo t61along with older puppies like 4.12, 431 & 432v3 when I am feeling nostalgic
two other machines run slacko builds (my default 'go to')
also try putting puppy on a usb stick via the universal installer then you can carry 'your' computer with you

Hi ally
Thank you for the welcome and the much much welcome advice.
In the next few minutes I am going to go for your pupeee1.0 tip and replace the distribution that I currently have on my machine (somehow I have lost the use of my touchpad completely and my machine will not recognise any number of USB plug in mice that I have tried) and IO think that the practise with the universal installer can only be good for me in helping me to feel my way around the system (I'm loving the trial and error fun I get out of it). Also, no matter how hard I tried I could not configure wireless, in fact I could not even toggle the fn f2 keys to switch it on or off. I also struggle in finding files etc as I am totally new to everything re Linux.
I think I may have got the installation done in a somewhat scruffy way because I did want to follow the instructions to the letter in this How To here but when it came to the universal installer finding the files on the USB it could not do so but I found that by mounting the USB and then going for the full install option it allowed me past and onto the installation. As I say it is all trial and error with me at the moment - but fun!
I did take the plunge and ditched windows completely off the machine, it was an installation that a previous user had installed and I feel that it was "stripped down" in many ways and lacked quite a bit of function.
I used the USB loaded installation for a few days but as I say because I have ditched Windows completely, I wanted to do a complete install so that the machine just boots from logon to Linux every time, without me having to rely on the USB at all.
I really appreciate your taking the time to welcome me ally and I will study everything you have raised bit by bit as I get more comfortable with Linux - I am definitely sticking with it though.
Best to you...

if you have a puppy running you can add another and get it booting easily by creating a folder on the hdd (probably sda1)
so if installing puppeee (there are two types depending what processor, celeron or atom), create a folder on sda1 called 'puppeee'
download the puppeee .iso file to the hdd or usb then 'mount' it by clicking the icon, this will expand the files inside
copy them to the /puppeee folder - have the puppeee folder open and select all the files in the expanded iso by ctrl-a, this will highlight them all and move them to the puppeee folder (by dragging) and then 'copy'
download a grub4dos pet (just google), install and run and it will update the grub boot loader
reboot and select puppeee and you're done
the 'c:' drive in linux is found in /mnt/drive_letter (probably the sda1 we mentioned earlier) if only one hdd then it will be /mnt/home
the puppeee build sorts out all the function keys and wireless troubles - the only issue is the browser is a little out of date - when you get to that stage shout again

Does not Puppeee for the EeeePC have two different files?
One for Celeron which mine had and another for the other CPU?
Have you looked with Hardware info which CPU your EeePC have?
Jemimah who created Puppeee had special code to take care of
shortcuts and Fn function key and IIRC also for sleep and such
and maybe wifi and backlight intensity?
Unfortunately all those files are not present on servers
so one need to find some user that can share them.
Take a look and hopefully somebody else can answer the
tech qustions I am too noob to know more than this.
Mine is deep in a drawer and I use Slacko on a Desktop.
I use Google Search on Puppy Forum
not an ideal solution though

Yes simargl it is a very very special place
As the UKs second (to London) city with much going for it - much too much to mention right now as I am once again at my hair pulling stage getting my head round my newest love Puppy 431
Terryphi hit the nail on the head.
Flash, the Beatles were Liverpool, as linuxbear rightly pointed out (they were a bit loud for Birmingham
I am noting everything you have passed onto me ally and I am really appreciative of you taking the time to explain things the way you do to help me get started, I am having great fun in doing so and once again am struck by the friendliness and helpfulness of you all here.
Off I go to my little eee again... I am currently using a different machine running windows to post here but as soon as I can get my wireless figured out on my Linux eee I shall ditch this one

I still have not got the function of being able to toggle my wireless on and off via the fn f2 keys so I will have to look into getting all of the files or drivers I need downloaded onto a stick and into my machine (or rather onto my stick) - that is my next task.
I really appreciate you taking time out to get back to me on any issues I'm having as sometimes the simplest of things for someone with experience can be so difficult to grasp for a complete novice such as myself.

A man was kidnapped on the College of Marin campus in Kentfield and sexually assaulted at gunpoint in the Mill Valley area, authorities said.
The incident began at about 8:15 p.m. Thursday in parking lot 13 of the campus, the college reported. The victim got into his car after a class and discovered that an armed man was in the back seat.
The man ordered the victim to drive off. They drove to a neighborhood in Tamalpais Valley, where the attacker sexually assaulted the victim, said sheriff's Sgt. Nina Snyder. The victim was able to escape the car and get help.
The attacker left the victim's car where it was and escaped.
The attacker was described as black, heavy set and about 6 feet to 6 feet 2 inches tall. His weight was estimated at 200 to 235 pounds and he was wearing a black sweater and black gloves.
The victim was taken to a hospital for treatment. His age was not released.
Authorities did not specify whether the victim was enrolled for college credit or participating in another type of program.
Parking lot 13 is on the south side of the campus near the Physical Education Center and the Child Study Center.
The college published an alert about the crime on its website and other platforms on Friday.
Greg Nelson, the vice president for college operations, said the school has increased security on campus, but he declined to comment on the police department's staffing levels or schedules.
"This can have an affect on the operational integrity of our Police Department," he said in an email.
The campus does not have security surveillance cameras, but a plan was already in the works to install them, he said.
"We have stepped up our police presence on campus," he said. "We will continue to do this in order to ensure our campus community has a safe and secure environment. We have also added portable light towers to increase lighting and we are asking students and staff to walk in pairs or ask for police escorts if needed."
The campus police department is a 24-hour operation that includes the chief, a sergeant and eight officers, according to its website. It also has three cadets and an administrative aide. Dispatch services are provided by the Fairfax Police Department.
In addition, the Marin County Sheriff's Office maintains a station across the street from the campus on Sir Francis Drake Boulevard.
Anyone with potential information about a suspect in the sexual assault case can call the Marin County Sheriff's Office 479-2311 or College of Marin Police Department 485-9696.
Rape and attempted rape cases are rare on College of Marin campuses. The college police reported one rape case between 2003 and 2012, according to the California Department of Justice. It occurred in 2006, but the statistics do not specify whether it happened on the Kentfield campus or the Novato campus.
Twelve assaults were reported over that period.
Statistics for 2013 were not available.

When friends talk about and post videos of a certain food, you want it. Today it was SHRIMP then Pad Thai. So this was dinner tonight. I've had microwave pad thai before and didn't like it, but this homemade version was SOOO GOOD. It's basically stir fried shrimp and noodles cooked in a garlicky spicy and sweet sauce. I am happy to say that my two little ones, Mr. and I LOVED it, my oldest doesn't like shrimp and said she didn't like the noodles. She's missing out. This recipe is a keeper.
Shrimp Pad Thai {Gluten Free and Diabetic Friendly}
adapted from EatingWell
4 ounces dried rice noodles
2 teaspoons canola oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 large egg, lightly beaten
8 ounces small shrimp, peeled and deveined (I cut mine in half)
2 cups mung bean sprouts
1/2 cup sliced green onions
3 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
2 tablespoons sugar (I used 2 Truvia packets)
1 teaspoon chili-garlic sauce (I used 1/4 tsp Sambal Oelek)
2 tablespoons chopped dry roasted unsalted peanutsSoak rice noodles in warm water to cover in a large bowl until they are limp and white, about 20 minutes. (I went ahead and cooked mine in boiling water for about 4 minutes, drained and rinsed)
Heat oil over high heat in a wok until very hot. Add the garlic and stir-fry until golden, about 10 seconds. Add the egg and cook, stirring, until scrambled, about 30 seconds. Add shrimp and stir-fry until they curl and turn pink, about 2 minutes.
Drain the noodles and add to the wok, tossing with tongs until they soften and curl, about 1 minute. Add bean sprouts, scallion greens, vinegar, fish sauce, sugar and chile-garlic sauce; toss until the shrimp are fully cooked and noodles are heated through, 1 to 2 minutes. Sprinkle with peanuts and serve immediately.
3 servings, about 1 1/3 cups each. For nutrition info see their site.

Hot on the heels of his coronation, Edward II recalls his lover Gaveston from exile, lavishing him with titles and riches. Their all-consuming lust makes enemies of the furious barons and bishops, alienates the King's once-devoted Queen and tears England to pieces. Ultimately, the monarch himself is destroyed as are many of those who stood both at his side and in his way.
All live to die, and rise to fall.
A behind-the-scenes exploration of power, sexual obsession, and a king who treats the realm as his playground. The National offers a contemporary take on Christopher Marlowe's magnificent, erotic and violent play.
I will have Gaveston, and you shall know
What danger 'tis to stand against your king
Info: Edward II is at the National Theatre from 28 August - 26 October 2013

Research | News
Tablet shipments will outpace PC shipments for the first time in the fourth quarter of 2013, according to a new forecast from market research firm International Data Corporation (IDC). The company still predicts that more PCs than tablets will be shipped for the whole year, but expects annual tablet sales to top PC sales by 2015, according to an IDC news release.
Total growth for the smart connected device market, comprising PCs, tablets, and smartphones, will be 27.8 percent in 2013, according to the company, a slight decrease from last year's 30.3 percent growth. In addition to tablets, much of the growth will come from smartphones, which the company forecasts to top 1 billion units in sales in 2013. IDC's forecast also calls for the growth in smartphone sales to continue and reach 1.4 billion units and 69 percent of all smart connected devices sold by 2015.
IDC also predicts 2013's revenue to increase 10.6 percent over 2012, but warns that growth will drop to just over three percent by 2017. "The tapering revenue forecast reflects the increasing impact of low-cost smartphones and the white box tablet market," according to a company news release. "Worldwide smart connected device value is expected to be $622.4 billion in 2013, of which $423.1 billion will come from the sub-$350 smartphone and sub-$350 tablet segments collectively."
"At a time when the smartphone and tablet markets are showing early signs of saturation, the emergence of lower-priced devices will be a game-changer," said Megha Saini, research analyst with IDC's Worldwide Quarterly Smart Connected Device Tracker, in a prepared statement. "Introducing new handsets and tablet devices at cheaper price points along with special initiatives like trade-in programs from Apple and BestBuy will accelerate the upgrade cycle and expand the total addressable market overnight."
Those lower cost devices will "drive interest worldwide and help to spark uptake among first-time buyers in commercial sectors like education," according to information released by the company.
The company also forecasts that larger smartphones with screens of five inches or larger will begin eating into the market share for tablets with screens of seven to eight inches. "The device world has seen several iterations of cannibalization impacting different categories, with the last few years focused on tablets cannibalizing PC sales," said Bob O'Donnell, program vice president, clients and displays, in a prepared statement. "Over the next 12-18 months, however, we believe the larger smartphones, commonly called 'phablets', will start to eat into the smaller-size tablet market, contributing to a slower growth rate for tablets."
Overall shipments in the market will top 2 billion by 2015 if IDC's forecast holds true, with revenue of $735.1 billion. In 2012, PC shipments accounted for nearly 29 percent of the market, with tablets and smartphones accounting for approximately 12 and 60 percent, respectively. By 2017, according to IDC, PC shipments will represent only 13 percent of the market, while tablets will rise to capture 16.5 percent and smartphones will strengthen their lead with a 70.5 percent share.
"The shift in demand from the more expensive PC category to more reasonably priced smartphones and tablets will drive the average selling price for the collective market from $462 in 2012 to $323 in 2017," according to an IDC news release.

FRANKFURT (MarketWatch) -- European leaders reached an agreement Friday on a seven-year budget plan for the European Union, European Council President Herman Van Rompuy announced on Twitter without providing details after a final set of negotiations that stretched to around 24 hours. An earlier compromise plan offered by Van Rompuy proposed to limit new spending commitments by Brussels to 960 billion euros ($1.29 trillion), The Wall Street Journal reported, versus the 1.03 trillion euros originally sought by the European Commission. The EU budget amounts to around just 1% of economic output across the 27-nation bloc, the Journal noted, but has been a source of political tension as leaders of countries that are net contributors to the budget sought to trim spending.

The Republicans are giving me some hope. They have quite the pair running for governor in Virginia: Cuccinelli and Jackson.
Here are some of the comments from Republican women in Virginia:
Waddell called "the worst ticket ever", adding that she was "completely embarrassed and mortified by the Republican ticket of Cuccinelli and Jackson."
Jan Schar told Blue Virginia that although she's been a Republican for years, "I simply cannot support them," as they would "end a woman's right to make her own health care choices, including access to birth control."
Schar was disturbed by the Republican ticket's attack on Planned Parenthood, "which does so much good for women in Virginia…. to call them a racist group is simply beyond the pale and hopefully will frighten Virginians from voting for them. This team of three would take us back to their ideology." Schar concluded, "I know so many Republicans who just can't support [this ticket]."
Waddell (I/R) called Cuccinelli "extreme", according to Blue Virigina, due in part to his "dangerous… anti-woman health agenda." Reacting to the ticket's charges against Planned Parenthood, she pointed out that it made "absolutely no sense to accuse Planned Parenthood of being a racist organization; it's an organization which brings much needed health care to many."
But that's nothing. You should listen to Phyllis Schlafly's latest remarks.
…in an interview this week with conservative radio program Focus Today, Schlafly just came right out and said it. Calling the GOP's need to reach out to Latinos a "great myth," Schlafly said that "the people the Republicans should reach out to are the white votes, the white voters who didn't vote in the last election." Schlafly accused the Republican "establishment" of nominating "a series of losers…who don't connect with the grassroots."
"The propagandists are leading us down the wrong path," she said. "There's not any evidence at all that these Hispanics coming in from Mexico will vote Republican."
Yay! Please please please, Republican party, quit pretending and just admit that you are the Wealthy White Man Party! Come right out with it in the next election, court the KKK, announce that you want to amend the Constitution to prohibit women from voting, sneer at all our citizens who are of Central and South American descent, campaign on a platform of banning contraception and evolution, and just be yourselves! I'll enjoy it.
Unless they get elected, that is.

Outback town cooks up giant camp oven
A tiny town in south-western Queensland wants to build a big 'camp oven' as a new tourist attraction, to highlight a part of the nation's inland history.
The Bedourie camp oven was developed in the 1920s when locals found cast iron camp ovens were easily damaged.
Diamantina Council CEO Scott Mason says the community has decided to ask the council to back its plan to build the giant oven.
"The plan is to construct a giant camp oven of steel, a replica of the current design of camp oven on the northern approach to Bedourie, on the left-hand side of the road," he said.
"Size we are not sure at this stage, but probably around the vicinity of a diameter of 30 to 40 metres, set on a side profile to give it a real magnitude when it is viewed by travellers."
He says locals are passionate about the camp oven's history.
"It shows the pioneering wisdom or ingenuity of bush people," he said.
"I think the camp oven goes right back to English history but it was an important part of any travellers or workers' kit in those early days.
"The original concept was around two billy cans, one sitting inside the other, and it sort of has morphed into what it is today."

I never thought I would leave.
But I suppose that's the way things always end up. I made a tough life decision this week to leave some of my BJJ family behind and join a new school. It was nothing personal, but some of my own life decisions had to be made and I'll be switching schools this week. The benefits seem to outweigh the disadvantages but only time will tell.
R and I are moving on with our lives and it didn't make sense for us to train at separate schools especially since our time spent together was already limited by our opposing work schedules. If we wanted to train, it meant spending an additional 3 hours apart when we wanted to go train. This way, we'll see each other more and we get to share in something we're both passionate about.
I was reading up on some threads on Sherdog and MMA.tv about training and an experienced BJJ practitioner made an interesting point. If you can, you should try to get your black belt from the same instructor who gave you your blue belt. The thing with R's school is that I can envision myself going all the way to black (hopefully) with the same instructor, and training with the same team.
I'll never forget my first submission, the fun times, the ridiculous jokes and the great team camaraderie from my old school. They'll always have a special place in my life – they were the ones that helped me fall in love with BJJ. In some ways six months seems like a short amount of time. But when you're sweating it out on the same mat with all your other friends, it also seems like an eternity.
Here's to all the new friends I'll make, the trials and achievements I'll find at my new school. Cheers.
Thanks to all my friends who were concerned when I posted about this on other social media sites. Glad to know you guys have got my back. 🙂 *hugs*

They are holding their first golf tournament and gala Sept. 21 and hope to use the funds to raise awareness of the causes and prevention of teen suicide with the goal to save one life.
Makayla Guerriero asked her grandmother once, "What is heaven like?" Her grandmother, Trisha, told her what she told her Sunday School students 30 years ago.
"It's like getting off a plane at Logan Airport and all the people you ever knew and loved are there waiting for you," she said. "That's all I could think to tell her because no one has ever come back to tell us what it's really like."
On Nov. 15, Makayla, a beautiful, vivacious, 15-year-old sophomore at Abington High School, took her own life.
Her family says she wasn't bullied and didn't have a drug or alcohol problem. She was sad, they say, and never the same after a friend took his own life two years earlier.
She left her family a note that day and told them that she thought heaven would be better than her life but that she loved them "F&A" – forever and always.
"She was wrong," said Trisha Guerriero, the grandmother who shared a special bond with Makayla, whom she calls her angel. "Makayla was wrong about heaven because all the people she loves are here."
Now Makayla's family, spearheaded by her mother, Kellie, have started the Makayla Guerriero Memorial Fund in her honor.
They are holding their first golf tournament and gala this weekend and hope to use the funds to raise awareness of the causes of teen suicide.
Their goal – save one life.
Was she getting better?
Makayla was fiesty and full of attitude, her family says.
She made people laugh. She pulled the best April Fools pranks. She fought over clothes and eyeliner with her sisters. She loved sports. She would get so excited to tell a story she couldn't finish, her family said.
Underneath all of that, however, was a deep sadness.
Makayla changed after a close friend took his own life while they were in middle school, her father, Tim, said.
In her room, she carved his initials into the wood on her bed and wrote it down and hung it on the walls, he said.
Then, in April 2012, Makayla attempted suicide, and then called her best friend Maggie Coehlo. Maggie called Makayla's dad right away, and the two were able to save her, said Tim.
After the attempt, she started seeing a therapist.
"We thought she was getting better," said her father. "We thought that therapy was helping. She went every week and wasn't skipping it."
Makayla was inseparable from her best friend, Coehlo.
"We were like sisters," said Maggie, who gathered with Makayla's family recently to talk about her friend, but was overwhelmed and she couldn't finish this thought.
The two were together all the time, every day. Whatever Maggie's family did, Makayla was included. But even Maggie said she couldn't tell what was going on inside Makayla, and what led her to suicide on Nov. 15.
"I had no idea – she didn't act any differently," said Maggie. "She didn't tell me this time."
The 'worst' phone call
On her final day, Makayla called her grandmother and asked to be picked up from school because she had a migraine headache. That night she reached out to all her friends, and tweeted that she was sorry that she had been mean to her parents recently.
And then she wrote a note.
In the notes application on her iPhone, Makayla wrote goodbye to her family and friends. She took a screen shot of the note and then took the password off her phone so her family could find it, they said.
Makayla's mother found her in her room the next morning.
"At 6:20 a.m., we received the worst phone call of her life," said Dick Geurriero, Makayla's grandfather. "To this day, we still miss her and do not know and cannot imagine why she committed suicide and why would someone with all that going for her would think heaven would be better than life. It still hurts as much as it did on Nov. 15."
"Everybody lost a piece of us that day because of all the love she gave," said Tim.
Her sisters cried and laughed as they talked about her but there is still anger in their voices.
"It sucks to want to see someone and having to look at pictures instead," said Heather, 22, the oldest of three sisters.
"It sucks that one day we're going to have kids and tell them about their amazing aunt but they're not going to be able to meet her," said Amanda, the youngest at 15.
'I'm not ashamed'
The family is channeling the grief of losing Makayla into fundraising to honor her, they said.
For Kellie, Makayla's mother, it has become her mission.
Through the Makayla Guerriero fund, they want to reach out to high school and middle schools in the area and teach parents and students that suicide is not the answer, and that if it can happen to Makayla, it can happen to anyone.
Their first big fundraiser will be a golf tournament Saturday, Sept. 21, at the Ridder Country Club, 390 Oak St., East Bridgewater.
Makayla's fund will also be used to honor one of her loves – playing sports.
The fund will help pay for equipment and fees for one student each season who would not otherwise be able to afford to play. Students from Abington, Rockland, Weymouth, East Bridgewater and South Shore Vocational – where Makayla had friends – will be eligible.
Makayla's mother hopes that through the tournament, and other events to remember her daughter, people will find the strength to not just acknowledge what happened to Makayla, but to talk openly about it.
"Everyone tries to hush hush suicide," said Kellie. "It's nothing you can hush hush. It happens all the time. I'm not ashamed of my daughter, I'm not going to hide. If you hide it and keep it inside, it's going to continue."
Interested participants or sponsors for the tournament can visit the Makayla Fund Facebook page or event page or email email@example.com.

This is a story.
A new student was getting ready for his first class at a Karate dojo after training for 10 years in another style. As he got ready, he spoke to an older man who was also getting ready for the class.
"First time here?" asked the older man.
"Yep," said the student. "Even though I trained for 10 years in another style of Karate and I already know a lot, I want to start over."
"Me too," said the man.
"Is today your first class?" asked the new student?
Just then, a senior student called the class to attention. The older man took his place and the students all bowed to him.
The new student did not know what to say. He was so embarrassed. When the other students had left after class, he went up to the Sensei and asked, "Why did you say that you are starting over when you are the Sensei?"
"After ten years you are starting over today with us," answered the Sensei. "I start over each and every day. Each day I am a new student trying to learn, trying to understand Karate. I am always starting over. What I did yesterday seems so wrong... I see nothing but errors. Today I am starting over. Right this minute I am starting over."

The pictures are very colorful and it looks like it is spring because everything is bright and he lives in a tulip field and the tulips are blooming. The pictures are made from paintings and collages and that is also why they are great. As you know, the pictures are by Eric Carle. So if you like him you may like the pictures in this book. We did!
We liked the book because the boy never gave up even when his finger got numb. We both like the part when the boy puts his finger in the hole. We both think he is brave. It made us think of times when we were brave and alone for the first time. It made me (Montana) think of when I was brave the first time I went to the my Grandma's alone in South Carolina for nine days. It made me (Annie) think of when I did the monkey bars the first time alone.
It makes us think if Peter's mother was worried about him while he was gone. It also made us think if Peter was hungry because he did not eat for a long time. We felt sad for Peter because he had to stay next to the dike in the cold night without eating. There is also a lesson in this book. It is never give up! This book is so special because it is not like any other books we've read.
We think that if you are very brave you would think you were a little like the main character in this book. We recommend this book for all ages because they will understand the story and enjoy the pictures.

CHICAGO (MarketWatch) — President Barack Obama on Saturday confirmed plans for an accelerated drawdown of U.S. forces in Afghanistan, saying that Afghan troops will soon take the lead in battling Taliban rebels.
"Our core objective – the reason we went to war in the first place – is now within reach: ensuring that al Qaeda can never again use Afghanistan to launch attacks against America," he said in his weekly radio address. Obama met earlier in the week in Washington with Afghan President Hamid Karzai.
"This week, we agreed that this spring, Afghan forces will take the lead for security across the entire country, and our troops will shift to a support role," he said. "And by the end of next year, America's war in Afghanistan will be over."
U.S forces have been mired in the Central Asian nation since shortly after the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001 in what has become the longest war in U.S. history. Roughly half a million soldiers have served there over that period, with more 2,000 dead as a result.
"This progress has only been possible because of the heroic sacrifices of our troops and diplomats, alongside forces from many other nations," Obama said.
He added that it "remains a very difficult mission: but "after more than a decade of war, the nation we need to rebuild is our own."
Specifically, he called for ways to grow the economy and shrink the deficits while creating new jobs and boosting family income.
Further, "we have to fix our infrastructure and our immigration system," he said. "We have to protect our planet from the destructive effects of climate change – and protect our children from the horrors of gun violence."

This time of year, we are completely overwhelmed with print, online, and media ads touting different celebrity fragrances, and a few actual clothing lines.
Lindsay Lohan
Over the past couple of weeks I have heard two separate stories about celebrities and their fashion lines. First off, Lindsay Lohan has reportedly stated that she will expand her 6126 fashion brand to include shoes. Currently, the celebrity is focused on leggings, and let's be honest, leggings are not pants no matter how often she wears them as such. Fine and dandy, Lohan needs something to keep her busy now that she's out of rehab (again), and this might actually keep her occupied.
Next up, Hillary Swank. "Women's Wear Daily" reported that the brilliant actress will be throwing in with DMA (Designers Management Agency) to start her first clothing line. First, she thought of designing inspirational t-shirts, but then it quickly became an entire line dedicated to a more outdoorsy, sporty approach. Where do I start? She was smart to scrap the t-shirt idea, but I will be interested to see the prices on this "outdoor fashion line."
Hilary Swank
I will, however, say that there are a few celebrity lines that I actually like. As mentioned before, Jessica Simpson can make a cute little shoe at a modest price range, and who doesn't like Justin Timberlake's jeans and leather-focused line? For the future Swanks of fashion, stick to what you know, kicking butt at the Academy Awards.
