Yoshi Sawada: A Brief Biographical Sketch
by Steve Burrall
Yoshi Sawada was born in 1950 in the Belgian Congo while his father was stationed there working for the Japanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They moved to Belgium and then back to Japan where he attended elementary school and high school, although he attended junior high in Geneva.
His father was a very strong amateur go player and though Yoshi often watched his father play, he was not allowed to touch go equipment and did not actually play go while growing up.
After attending college in France, he went to work for the Japanese Foreign Ministry in Paris, where he began playing go as well as developing expert golfing skills. A few years later he came to the U.S. where he nearly became a professional golfer.
Shuttling back to Japan in the off-seasons allowed Yoshi to take lessons from professional go players and mingle with top pros like Ishida, Rin and the Kobayashis. He ended up in Sacramento helping establish the Japanese American Community Center and worked there until Proposition 13 eliminated its funding. During those years he received his 1 dan and 3 dan diplomas from the Nihon Kiin.
During the early '80s he trained personnel for Furrow's Hardware and his legendary generosity led to his next career change. After completing an arduous task as a favor to a Japanese businessman while at Furrow's, he soon had a hectic career as a highly sought-after international business consultant. He was also a professional tennis instructor at the Laguna Racquet Club.

Snow Days in Spring (Sabbatical Part 2)
It wasn't more than a week after my arrival in Scotland that I spotted The First Snowdrops.
They were huddled in a clump on the banks of the creek below where I was staying. Now, for years I've wished I lived somewhere that snowdrops grew. They've long been a symbol of "defiant hope" to me - their delicate-yet-powerful white heads forcing their way up through the snow, refusing to let winter win and promising the advent of spring. There's a town about two hours away, up in the mountains, that is famous for them, but down here on the Mediterranean coast, we don't exactly get snow, let alone flowers that poke their heads up through it. So the prospect of spending February in a place where I could witness their awakening ought to have thrilled my heart.
Except it didn't.
Snowdrops are all about defying winter. But I hadn't come for spring's "waking up" - I'd come for winter's "hunkering down". And suddenly my favourite little white flowers felt like a threat - an announcement that things were about to get all alive when all I craved was stillness. And the thing is, I know myself. I knew I wouldn't be able to resist their message of hope. I'd want to be out there drinking it in, photographing it, reveling in it.... But I couldn't see how that spirit could jive with the "dormancy" I'd come in search of. Winter was ending before it had even started, and it had my heart all jumbled.
The thing is, though, spring is kind of irresistible. It's seriously hard to resent daffodils and tulips. Like them, we were made to come alive in the spring. And as those persistent snowdrops started to take over the glen, and every little walled garden on the way into town, I was won over in spite of myself. With the appearance of every new patch of flowers (and those crocuses come out early in Scotland!) something woke up inside of me: a longing to blossom and bloom.
And that's when the Gardener reminded me why I'd come in search of winter in the first place. Dormancy was never an end in and of itself. Bare branches and slow sap flow and the relief of not having to sustain all those leaves was never the goal; it was only the means by which my tree would get the rest it needed in order to then be healthy and produce fruit. Winter was as unto spring. And that's where the wild Scottish weather was the perfect companion for me - the appearance of flowers didn't stop the freezing wind from blowing, and I still needed long johns under my jeans for those long walks on the beach. It was very clearly still winter. My days were still all about quiet and the work going on deep inside. I didn't have to embrace the activities of spring just yet - but I desperately needed the hope it carried.
It was a relief not to have to close my heart to the snowdrops, fearing that they would steal my rest. They were the assurance that all that "ruthless stillness" had a purpose. Mine was not a season of rest marked by plain old depletedness. It was rest infused with the hope of rejuvenation. Sap would again flow through my veins. There would yet be blossoms and blooms on my branches.
But even as I was sinking blissfully into my season of hibernation, events were in motion within my closest circle of relationships back in Turkey that made it pretty clear that I'd need to head back sooner than hoped to be a part of some crucial transitions, endings, and new beginnings. No matter the state of your heart, some things just have to be walked through together. As I weighed the decision about my return, I struggled, knowing that I hadn't had nearly enough winter and was so not ready for spring. Suddenly all those flowers weren't feeling like friends. Cutting my still-fragile tree's dormancy short sounded like being yanked out of the safety of my blanket of snow into the glaring sunlight of spring. I knew I'd need to participate with my whole heart, and that the season would require me to use the "fully formed fruit" of all the rest and clarity and healing that was still so very half-baked and in process. I knew it was "the right thing to do." But it sounded like a recipe for disaster. And I was terrified.
I took my confusion to the Gardener.
I asked Him about my "wintering tree". Everything I'd read told me it was dangerous to the life of a plant to force it out of dormancy too soon. Had winter done its full work? Would I be ready to bear fruit come spring if I hadn't gotten all I needed out of the previous season? Wouldn't this pre-mature re-entry into my usual world send me straight back to burnout, worse off than when I started?
His answer came on a walk into town. He drew my eyes to the purple crocuses and bright yellow daffodils scattered on hillsides and adorning every garden. He pointed out the budding branches, the pink and white blossoms appearing on every twig. "This is your heart," He said. "You're already in spring."
This took me by surprise. I didn't feel strong. I didn't feel ready. But as He walked me back through my weeks there on the North Ayrshire coast, I saw that He was right. No, I hadn't read "enough" novels, or done all the writing I wanted, or climbed every hill I'd wanted to explore. But what I had done was the hard work of letting my heart be transformed. I'd surrendered my heart to the Gardener's shears, allowing Him to prune and bind up and heal. "Coming away into winter was right at the time," He told me. "But it's not time to fight to stay dormant any longer. See all those buds on your branches? It's time to let them open up and bloom. They're still tender, they're not fully formed, but they're buds nonetheless. Now is the time to ask Me to protect them so they can mature. To keep them safe from biting winds and late frosts that would snap them off or snuff out their life in their infant stage. To ask for favourable conditions so they can flower and flourish and bear much fruit."
He promised that He wouldn't abandon the work of His hands. That He was ready and able to shepherd my tree out of winter and into spring. He was fully aware that the work wasn't done yet, but He asked me to trust Him with the care and nurturing of my branches - to believe Him when He said that He was going to accomplish in the context of community what I thought could only be accomplished in solitude. That what I thought could only happen on the rainy coast of Scotland was indeed going to come to fruition under the hot Mediterranean sun.
And then, in the middle of a brief but magical snowfall that tickled the daffodils and crocuses with white, He spoke the most reassuring promise: "I will still give you snow days in spring." Those words dispelled the last of my anxiety about my return home. "Snow days" conjure up images of staying home from school in cozy pajamas, of hot chocolate and Hardy Boys books and card games and generally getting to hit pause on normal life, just for a bit. It was the assurance that I didn't have to leave all my "winter's work" behind in Scotland - that there would be time, even in the bright sunlight of the new season, to step out for an hour or a day and continue to let the stillness do its work.
I could trust the One who holds the seasons in His hands to bring mine to completion.
And you know what? He has been so true to His word. I came home to one of the most emotionally intense, relationally trying seasons of my life. But there's been so much grace. And what I feared would happen - that my fragile little buds would crumple under the weight of so much upheaval and transition - hasn't happened at all. Quite the opposite. In the midst of - and I dare say because of - new configurations in my closest community and the major transition of moving from my home of ten years in the village to a brand new world in the city, the work that was happening deep inside me was accelerated. It's been complemented and completed, rather than stolen from or aborted. The intensity of this spring has solidified what began in the stillness of winter, and in rising to the occasion, I've been able to walk out into the newness of what's happened inside of me. Those buds have become full-on flowers.
Now that the boxes are more or less unpacked in my new home and most of the relational puzzle pieces that were thrown up in the air a few months ago have settled snugly into their new configurations, I've been able to enjoy a few more "snow days" in recent weeks. I've spent time reading through journal entries from the past year, making paintings and photographs to immortalize the gems of the season, and trying to bring some closure to it all before I head home to Canada for the summer. But I've been finding that, more than "finishing up heart-work that still needed to be done", these snow days have been times of recognizing and celebrating the incredible work that has come to completion without me even really realizing it.
He who holds the seasons in His hands truly knows how to bring out the fullness of each one, even when they overlap or seem to come out of order. I'm no longer looking longingly back at winter, wishing it could last just a little longer. I've run headlong into the "new life" of spring, and am ready to embrace all the joy that summer promises.
(Right on time, too, cuz it's 32 degrees out and I've got friends coming to town for a birthday celebration next week. And I am so not wearing my winter coat to the beach!) ;)

Here are a few characteristics of empaths who have not learned to filter out other people's emotions or manage their own energy:
- You constantly feel overwhelmed with emotions and you may cry a lot, feel sad, angry, or depressed for no good reason. You may be tempted to think you are crazy for having random mood swings and bouts of unexplained fatigue. If you are a woman, it's like having PMS all the time! Unrestrained empathy can cause a person to manifest symptoms similar to bipolar (manic-depressive) disorder.
- You drop by the store feeling great, but once you get in a crowd you start feeling down, angry, sad, or overwhelmed. You feel you must be coming down with something so you decide to go home and rest.
- If you've found that you can't be in public without becoming overwhelmed you may start to live the life of a hermit. But, even at home, you get depressed when you watch the news and you cry while watching a movie. You feel horrible when a commercial for the Humane Society shows animals that need a home. You may rescue more animals than you can possibly care for.
- You feel sorry for people no matter who they are or what they have done. You feel the need to stop and help anyone in your path. You can't pass by a homeless person without giving him money—even if you don't have it to spare.
- Many empaths are overweight. When they absorb stressful emotions, it can trigger panic attacks, depression as well as food, sex, and drug binges. Some may overeat to cope with emotional stress or use their body weight as a shield or buffer. In Chapter 9 of Yvonne Perry's book, she shows how to use light as protection.
- • Most empaths have the ability to physically and emotionally heal others by drawing the pain or ailment out of the sick person and into their own bodies. For obvious reasons, this is not recommended unless you know how to keep from becoming ill in the process.
- From chest pains and stomach cramps to migraines and fever, you manifest symptoms without contracting an actual illness. Later, you learn that your "ailment" coincided with the onset of a friend or family member's illness.
- No one can lie to you because you can see through their façade and know what they really mean. You may even know why they lied.
- People—even strangers—open up and start volunteering their personal information. You may be sitting in the waiting room minding your own business and waiting your turn when the person next to you starts sharing all kinds of personal information. You didn't ask them to and they never considered that you might not want to hear about their drama. People may feel better after speaking with you, but you end up feeling worse because they have transferred their emotional pain to you.
- Some empaths don't do well with intimate relationships. Constantly taking on their partner's pain and emotions, they may easily get their feelings hurt, desire to spend time alone rather than with the partner, feel vulnerable when having sex, and feel that they have to continually retrieve their own energy when it gets jumbled with that of their partner. They may be so afraid of becoming engulfed by another person that they close up emotionally just to survive.
- The ill, the suffering, and those with weak boundaries are drawn to the unconditional understanding and compassion an empath emits without even being aware of it. Until you learn how to shut out the energy of others, you may have a pretty miserable existence in which you feel like you have to be entirely alone in order to survive.

The beauty of being a car enthusiast is seeing cars as more than mere appliances. Unfortunately, this mentality doesn't always stretch to daily driving. There certainly are moments where my car is nothing more than a mere appliance, trudging through traffic, the dual clutch box more jerky than when I accidentally managed to get Tabasco in my eye. It's just a grind and it's completely impossible to avoid sometimes, no matter where you live. Then there's the DC Metropolitan area. I'll explain to you why this is quite possible the single worst place outside of Manhattan to own a car, let alone be an enthusiast.
Let us begin, shall we?
There Quite Simply isn't Enough Road
This applies to quite a few places, particularly those with terrible public transport. I'm looking at you Los Angeles. That being said, DC and the surrounding suburbs have generally excellent public transport options. Yes, Metro is pretty much consistently
broken under maintenance to bring the customer better service, but it's clean, usually free of crime, and goes to most places you'd ever need to go. Heck, the buses ain't too bad either. So, that should mean that the roads largely benefit from this. Nope. Each and every day, folks hop on every road imaginable to play Escape from DC, or Tysons Corner, or Bethesda, or... Well, you get the idea.
Surprisingly, the Beltway isn't my worst offender. Yes, it's terrible, but sometimes you do move... Sometimes! Nope, it's not even 270, or my personal commute of 395, but the terrible abomination that is 66. I've never seen so many nearly homicidal individuals rushing around on the same road at nearly all hours of the day. Sunday morning? Traffic. Midnight with light construction? Traffic. Car broken down? Rubbernecking for miles. It's horrific. This, conveniently, leads into my next grievance.
Nobody Can Drive Worth a Damn
I don't consider myself to be a fantastic driver. By no stretch am I remotely talented or particularly skillful behind the wheel. I don't expect many people to be able to execute a perfect heel toe shift, nor do I expect them all to drive diesel, manual, RWD, wagons that are brown. That's completely unrealistic. However, is it too much to expect common courtesy and general competence behind the wheel? Apparently so, especially around these parts.
Other than your average recklessness... Oh you know, your red light runners, your distracted teens, your soccer moms tailgating because little Jimmy was supposed to be at bassoon practice by now, etc... There just isn't a single shred of courtesy around here. Two folks decide to go 40 right next to each other on the GW Parkway or Fairfax County Parkway while the speed limit is 50? Tough luck. Neither are going to let you pass. Doesn't matter that it's 10pm, the road is otherwise clear, and there's a line of cars behind all flashing to pass. You shall not pass!
Just today it decided to snow. Naturally this led to poor visibility. While dodging folks doing 30 with flashers on and idiots doing 75 in all lanes, I noticed one very distinct thing. Nobody bothered to have lights on in these conditions. Flashers? Sure. Go wild! But the set of headlights that come as a no cost option? (Well, unless it's a Porsche) Nope. I see perfectly fine, it's not even dark out.
Don't get me started about the night. Oh? You want me to?
Everyone and their mother either has high beams on 24/7 or no lights on at all. This is first day drivers ed stuff.
We have a lot of folks from around the world around here. Largely, this is a brilliant thing and makes the region incredibly diverse. Unfortunately, this leads to completely diverse driving styles as well. What may be acceptable in one place, is completely unacceptable here. This makes the roads generally unpredictable.
You'll note that DC and Maryland light right up. There's a reason why among the top 10 cities with the worst drivers, DC and neighboring Alexandria/Arlington are 1, 7, and 10 respectively.
It's a Car Destroyer
Have a nice car? A car you love? Well tough shit mister. It'll be destroyed. If not by the sheer incompetence of other drivers, our roads will certainly cripple your ride. No matter how long you've parked far away, no matter how close to the curb you are, no matter how little you bring your car out, the Previa with three different body colors will find you and crush your dreams like a hopes and dreams seeking missle. Heck, even the brand new lease 328 will give you another knock for good measure.
You can't win here, so you should probably stop trying.
Suicidal Cyclists and Pedestrians
Cyclists and pedestrians have every right to use the street in a safe and legal manner. Sharing the road does make a better place for all of us if we follow the rules and are predictable.
DC has a lot of traffic circles. Well, to call them a traffic circle is a bit of a stretch. They're confusing at best with lights, thru roads, etc. Every so often I come across a cyclist that adds to the confusion. Red light? Just blow it while everyone is merging into the circle. You can't stop. You have important conflict free coffee shops to get to. Your Tumblr followers can't wait for another post on your personal progress in the Oppression Olympics. Have a bike lane? Don't use it! Sway back and forth across the main lane of traffic. Rules are for sissies.
Let's move on.
Pedestrians normally don't cause too many issues. Except those that think it's a brilliant idea to cross the road as a stream of traffic barrels towards them. Of course, they have right of way, but I'm sure one or two cab drivers wouldn't mind pegging a couple of these idiots. My favorite? Step out between two parked cars and expect traffic to stop on a dime. It's filled my pants more than once zig zagging around these people.
The Police are Strict
I don't condone stupidity behind the wheel. That guy street racing in broad daylight as his D series engine struggles to pull 50 mph? Yep. That guy is an idiot. But I'm sure as enthusiasts, we all like a bit of fun behind the wheel. Surely. Around here? Think no, no, and nope.
Police Are Everywhere
Speed Limits are Artificially Low
Speed Cameras Dot Maryland
Virginia nor DC allow Radar Detectors
Virginia Law Says 20 over or 80mph+ Automatically Constitutes Reckless Driving; a Misdemeanor
It's rough. I'm not the cop hater type; that's just generally juvenile, but it's very easy to get into a lot of hot water around here. Couple this with most Northern Virginia departments not having a great deal of crime to deal with, and you'll regularly be pulled over.
My favorite quotes?
"Have you smoked marijuana today sir? I can't arrest you for it, but I'd just like to know."
"You ran that no right on red sign."
I don't smoke nor did that sign exist. Oh dear.
That all was a pretty terrible rant. Unfortunately, living around here is pretty frustrating when it comes to driving. Don't get me wrong, I think it's brilliant in many, many other ways, but driving ain't one of 'em.

I'm leaving for Europe in two weeks (I realize how ridiculously pretentious that sounds) and so me not blogging on the reg is to prepare you for my absence (even more pretentious I know). But I am so incredibly busy planning my outfits and buying mini shampoo and conditioner that blogging has fallen by the wayside.
Just kidding you guys. My days are spent fulfilling my corporate duties and now that The Husband is home every night, we cook dinner together and actually have in depth conversations about stuff. I've also been hard at work on my secret project and catching up on Homeland. Oh and this is the first weekend I'll be at home in weeks so I look forward to planning my outfits for Europe 😉
Happy Friday!

Va. trooper shooting suspect says God made him do it
Trooper Junius Walker shot, killed last week
Court papers show the man charged in the shooting death of a Virginia state trooper told investigators God made him do it.
According to media reports, Russell E. Brown also said one of the agents interviewing him would be the next to die.
Those details were included in an affidavit used to search Brown's Chesterfield County apartment last week. Police wrote in the affidavit that Brown had called his grandmother several times in the weeks leading up to the killing to talk about the Bible, which was uncharacteristic of him.
The 28-year-old Brown is charged with capital murder in last Thursday's shooting death of Master Trooper Junius A. Walker in Dinwiddie County. He also faces two firearms counts and an attempted capital murder charge for allegedly shooting at another trooper.

EXETER — Police are treating the discovery of a body in Exeter Thursday as a suspicious death, according to a New Hampshire State Police spokeswoman.
EXETER — Police are investigating a suspicious death in Exeter, where a woman's body was discovered inside an abandoned concrete plant that caught fire Thursday morning.
The fire broke out at the former City Concrete building at 2 Hampton Road at about 7 a.m. Emergency responders located the body of an unidentified adult female while knocking down the blaze, according to an announcement released by the New Hampshire attorney general's office.
The body was found inside the roughly 3,000-square-foot facility, which has been vacant for at least two decades, according to the town assessor.
Investigators are still probing the circumstances, and police were tight-lipped about the grim discovery throughout the day.
The state medical examiner's office was set to perform an autopsy Friday morning to determine the cause and manner of the woman's death, and to attempt to make a positive identification of her remains.
Senior Assistant Attorney General Susan Morrell declined to comment on the condition of the woman's body prior to the autopsy.
Caitlyn Lussier, an employee of nearby Access Sports Medicine & Orthopaedics, recalled seeing smoke rising from the old concrete building at about 6:45 a.m. Fire trucks were on scene within about 15 minutes, she said.
Throughout the day, investigators focused their attention on a gray Hyundai, which was parked in the entryway to the 11.8-acre property. Lussier recalled that the car was parked outside the building before the fire, visible through an office window.
Police surrounded the Hyundai with crime scene tape in the morning and eventually covered the vehicle with a tent, as wet snow continued to fall.
In addition to collecting evidence inside the building, investigators also searched the grounds of the Exeter Recreation Complex, which is next door to the concrete facility. They inspected a dumpster in the parking lot at least twice, and four officers also swept across the perimeter of the parking lot, eyes pointed toward the pavement.
Another twist in the investigation came at about 10 a.m. A man in a brown jacket was seen speaking to police in the Access Sports Medicine parking lot. Two officers could be seen frisking the man at one point, though it remains unclear why.
Morrell declined to comment on whether the man in the brown jacket was investigated in connection with the discovery at the concrete plant.
Investigators were also seen photographing a black Honda sedan parked in the Access Sports Medicine parking lot, which is across the street. The Honda had New Hampshire license plates and a Hampton parking sticker in the window.
Two State Troopers wearing purple gloves scrutinized the car for more than 40 minutes, taking photographs of the interior, exterior, trunk and undercarriage of the car before departing.
No fire damage was visible on the outside of the concrete plant, which was constructed in 1950, according to the town assessor's records. The structure is owned by Wakefield Investments Inc., registered out of Wakefield, Mass.
Exeter Police and firefighters were among the first personnel to reach the scene. By noon, the New Hampshire attorney general's office became active in the investigation, and a truck from the State Police Major Crimes Unit arrived soon after.
State Troopers were still documenting evidence at the scene about four hours later, along with officials from the New Hampshire State Fire Marshal's office.
Fire investigators were tentatively planning to provide information about the incident around 11 a.m., but as activity increased at the scene, they scrapped the plan.
"It's a whole different thing right now," an official from the fire marshal's office said in the early afternoon.
Anyone with information regarding this incident is asked to contact the New Hampshire State Police at 603-271-3636.

Scripted on March 2, 2010 by Tome Wilson.
Offered to this forum to promote discussion and unity within the dieselpunk community.
The tenets of dieselpunk culture can be understood as follows:
Dieselpunk is not a new and spurious trend.
It grew legs and walked upright as soon as the Greatest Generation returned from the front. It merges our grandfathers' dreams with the freedoms of the ages that came after it. Unrestricted by class, gender or prejudice, we are free to build our own vision of the future and are limited only by our own ambition.
"A guy walks up to me and asks 'What's Punk?'. So I kick over a garbage can and say 'That's punk!'. So he kicks over a garbage can and says 'That's Punk?', and I say 'No that's trendy!"
- Billie Joe Armstrong
Dieselpunks are not interested in historical purity.
Rather than sealing oneself in the dusty coffins of a long dead past, a dieselpunk should adopt the orphan zeitgeist of earlier days and raise it in the modern age. By fusing the past with today, he builds something new that would be unexpected in any age.
"The farther backward you can look, the farther forward you can see."
- Winston Churchill
The Greatest Generation is an inspiration for dieselpunks, not a goal.
A dieselpunk must learn the past, but should be wary not to chain himself to it in the process. We strive to create a future that not only meets the achievements of our grandfathers, but surpasses it with achievements of our own. It is not enough to live in the shadow of another generation; we must find our own path, achieve greatness and inspire others to do the same.
"We decided to start our own group because we were bored with everything we heard ... Everything was 10th-generation Led Zeppelin ... overproduced, or just junk. We missed music like it used to be."
- Joey Ramone
"My mother said to me, 'If you are a soldier, you will become a general. If you are a monk, you will become the Pope.' Instead, I was a painter, and became Picasso."
- Pablo Picasso
Dieselpunk art desires monumentality.
The hands of our grandfathers were not busy creating fragile trinkets; things meant to expire before the tides changed. They did not lay their foundations on beams of light and hope that others would be there to support it when the darkness came. Like a good parent, the Greatest Generation created objects and ideas that outlived their creators to be loved by future generations. Our reliance on the digital world cannot be trusted to carry our dreams into the future. Our own progress has raced ahead of our need for permanence, and only those that truly realize this will be remembered by tomorrow's generation.
"History is written by the victors."
- Winston Churchill
Dieselpunk art balances form with function.
A dieselpunk does not strive to create the absurd. Instead, his creation blends the desirability and craftsmanship born of years of expert labor with the technological marvels of today. It is not enough to create a wonder in itself. That wonder must excite the lust of the artist while also fulfilling its desired function.
"I am always doing that which I cannot do, in order that I may learn how to do it."
- Pablo Picasso
Every dieselpunk is responsible for himself and his community.
A dieselpunk community will form when like-minded people learn to respect the freedoms and works of one another. The community is formed to bolster the efforts of the individual, and to strengthen the foundations of the community as a whole. Like a skyscraper, a dieselpunk should reach for the greatest heights imaginable knowing that he is supported by the experience of those around him, but he should not rely on others to push him upwards.
"My attitude is if somebody blunders into the level of popularity; at least remember the human factor. These guys are still human beings and hopefully still have hearts and if you keep in touch with them rather than vilify them you may be able to encourage them to go in the right direction. What I'm hoping will eventually happen is that they will grasp the amount of power and financial clout that is now at their fingertips and use those as tools to help real people with real things the way punk politics was always designed to do before, but nobody had any money."
- Jello Biafra
"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give."
- Teddy Roosevelt
A dieselpunk does not seek to gather armies for the purpose of war.
As each dieselpunk is responsible for himself and his community, deterring another from their artistic goals should not be tolerated unless those goals rot the foundations of the whole. A dieselpunk will choose what is best for themselves using experience, rationale and his own code of morals, not by being rallied or prosthelytized.
"You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life."
- Winston Churchill
"Remember always that you not only have the right to be an individual, you have an obligation to be one."
- Eleanor Roosevelt
The greatest crime a dieselpunk can commit is not contributing to their own vision of the future.
Dieselpunks are not stagnant consumers. The dieselpunk mentality demands dynamism in thinking and expression. It is not enough to consume the fruits of our father's labor and suckle the milk of our corporate mothers. In order to grow in mind and spirit, dieselpunks and their communities must strive to create a vision of the future using whatever tools they are armed with: the brush, the pen, the camera, or the wrench.

Great to have you aboard, Doc!
Thank you Cap'
This is a great article and all the quotes are appropriate. Very interesting, the part on the future vision is really intriguing. Actually, I tend to "put the Diesel thing" in everyday life, and I seldom think about redesigning our future. Very, very interesting.
I may consider to translate it in my own language (giving credits, that's obvious) in order to start a clever discussion among my Italian fellows.
Fabulous list!

Hi all,
I'm in need of a logo for my FreeRPG Project and was hoping one of you may be able to help me out by creating one for me. I have been trying a few different things myself but have never been happy with anything i create. This is probably the best of my days attempts at this :
I don't know if it is allowed but the only other design "idea" i have had is to use the T3D logo and place a sword or something running through the middle either straight up or a couple in a cross. If you have your own idea's that's great, i'm pretty much open to anything. The only stipulation i have is that you license it with an open source friendly license.
I hope somebody can help me out and i'm afraid the only payment i can offer is eternal gratitude and a special mention on the FreeRPG website.
I hope to hear something soon !

Prowling the library stacks at the end of a seriously stressful week, I settled on a strategy for weekend reading. All the literature on the shelves looked utterly dreary and boring–or bloodthirsty in that pugilistic style affected by some male fiction writers. No sale there, real life was offering up enough doom and gloom. So I picked through the mysteries, searching for light and lively—figured a couple of foodie murder mysteries would provide the perfect escapes.
Mimosas, Mischief, and Murder has a lot of food in it—southern biscuits, neighborly green bean casseroles, chicken nuggets for the kids, a few candy bars for the chocoholic and one Dove Bar that was truly mouthwatering. But the heroine of this Alabama whodunit is a professional home organizer and the only recipes on offer are tips for storing mementos and clutter-clearing that appear at the end of each chapter. That's an interesting demographic appeal–homemakers who would rather read than sort and toss or scrapbook?–although I'm not sure how effective it is as I was reminded at every cliffhanger that I should probably be clutter-clearing my own home instead of reading for hours in medias mess.
Ah well, Sara Rosett has crafted a more-than-competent, quasi-cozy. Smarr, Alabama is a small town and people are pretty hospitable, when they aren't killing each other. Ellie Avery is visiting her fighter-pilot husband's relatives during his home leave, two young kids in tow. Only when they arrive, hubby's grandpa has just died suddenly and things are tumultuous. Almost right away the facts don't add up neatly and Ellie, who is the star of a number of alliterative adventures, starts asking questions. She has a reputation as something of a busybody, nicely off-set by the fact that she does solve murders that just happen around her.
It's definitely a light read, the stakes are lower than they might be. Smarr is the scene of an annual book fair and books and writers wander in and out of frame. Grandpa has a few secrets and a private, lifelong friendship with a famous but reclusive author whose correspondence he kept meaning to return. Various Avery relatives go greedy over the dead man's possessions and a wild rumor about a hidden fortune in cash takes over the town. Arson occurs, threats are made, break-ins happen, a will delivers a knock-out punch of a surprise, a corpse disappears from a funeral home and gravediggers flee at discovery on a dark night. Another man dies in grandpa's house but this one falls down the stairs and breaks his neck—or was he pushed?
Ellie gets grief for meddling but that doesn't stop her. She keeps the kids fed and occupied while dropping off and picking up relatives in need of transportation and attention. Is her marriage in trouble? Is her/his family harboring a homicidal relation? Will Ellie's kid score fourteen books from the book fair? When do they get to the mimosas? It all works out. Mimosas, Mischief, and Murder is not a foodie mystery, alas, but it is a good way to kill a few hours watching other characters stress about their lives. My sole quibble with the book is that Dove Bar. I would have enjoyed the read a lot more if there had been a few of the dark chocolate-chocolate kind in my freezer.

Coast Guard crews suspended their search Thursday afternoon for a 14-year-old boy swept to sea off San Francisco's Ocean Beach, after nearly 24 hours of looking for him in the Pacific Ocean.
Crews had targeted efforts in an area that was 64 square miles between the Golden Gate Bridge and Lake Merced, with authorities scouring both shoreline and water for the teen. But they suspended their search about 1 p.m.
"It's heartbreaking," San Francisco Fire Chief Joanne Hayes-White said from the beach Thursday morning during the height of the search, noting that she had talked with the teen's mother. "I'm a mom, too. I can only imagine what she's going through. Her husband is fighting for his life, and she has a son that's missing. That's really, really tough."
U.S. & World
The day's top national and international news.
The search first began Wednesday when a rip current pulled the 14-year-old identified as Marco Cornejo and his cousin into the water just before 4 p.m. The father of one of the boys rushed in to try and save them, even though he cannot swim.
Tony Barbero, a 17-year-old surfer and the son of a San Francisco fire captain, saw the three in the water, and paddled out to rescue them. He was able to save the father and one of the cousins, but not Marco, who lives in the East Bay.
The father was transported to the hospital after being resuscitated by first responders, but according to Hayes-White is "fighting for his life." His nephew is said to be in good condition.
Ocean Beach is known for being one of the most dangerous shorelines in the country. Battalion Chief Marty Ross said "this happens too much."
"People, they come out here, they take this for granted," Ross said. "This is very dangerous out here. It's no joke."
San Francisco Fire Capt. Joe Barbero hugs his son, Tony, 17, who rescued a father and nephew at sea. April 9, 2014.

Corvids, which are crows and jays, are classified by their harsh voices and their aggressive manner, both of which draw attention to themselves; large and often very gregarious birds. Most corvids have bristles on their nostrils, located on very powerful, all-purpose beaks built specially for handling their varied diet ( berries, fruits, seeds, invertebrates, small mammals and carrion). Here are most of the species that you may see in the Calgary region, the only one missing, is the colorful Steller's Jay.

I do notice a difference in spelling in comparison with for example mɜ(j) = lion (this word sometimes has 𓄿 as a complementary attachment indirectly indicating the 'aah' sound = ⲘOⲨⲒ in Coptic = maɜ Middle Egyptian); the same can be said of the word 'cat' (ⲈⲘOⲨ) which actually indicates a w in the latter phases of the language. In the normal spellings of Ma'at , 𓌳 is generally used with no complementary letter. Is there a variant spelling that I am not noticing cause I am not fully understanding where this 'u' comes from other than in Akkadian renderings of the word and ⲘⲎ(Ⲓ) / ⲘⲎⲦ in Coptic.

I adore slow weekend mornings. Not that we have so many of those, actually we sleep through most of them 😉 You see, we are not really morning people. I wish we were though, but of course there are some positive sides of our laziness. We can skip breakfast and go straight for lunch, or actually brunch for that matter 😉 Pancakes are perfect on such occasions, they are warm, filling and extremely fast to prepare. Actually true Polish pancake is nearly as thin as crepes, but we also have something similar to "American style" pancakes that we call racuchy. They are much smaller, as they are made from just a dollop of dough and they often contain fruit pieces and are sprinkled with icing sugar (I adored those with apple slices as a child). They are also most commonly containing yeasts, but who would have patience in the morning to wait for the dough to raise 😉 This time I used baking soda and frozen raspberries, but of course you can put fruit of your own choice or eat them plain.
0,5 l buttermilk
2 eggs
50g icing sugar
1 tsp baking soda
200g frozen raspberries
frying oil
Mix buttermilk, flour, eggs and sugar to blend. Whisk in baking soda and fruits at the end. Fry until golden brown. The recipe makes around 30 mini pancakes. Serve with whipped cream and jam or sprinkle with icing sugar.
Recipe comes from blog Moje Wypieki

So here is a bit of local sports news and I just happen to have a picture of the two of them together. BJ Penn is going to guest star on Hawaii 5-0 and Orlando Duque is recovering following his third surgery.
I was reading BJ Penn's first blog post on the Bleacher Report since he lost his last fight to Nate Diaz and one of the things that he revealed is that he landed a guest spot on "Hawaii 5-0".
…I have been back in Hawaii for a while now, but I haven't been doing much as far as athletics go. This is partly because I think I sprained my finger or something, so because of that I have just been kind of laying low and enjoying life…
…As I am working on this piece, I am on my way to Oahu. I was given a part in an episode of the hit TV Show, Hawaii 5.0, and I will be filming for the next few days on set. It's really good timing to be out in Oahu because the president of RVCA, Pat Tenore, and his whole family have taken a vacation this week out there, so when I'm not filming I plan on going and hanging out with them…
In other Hawaii related sports news, Red Bull Cliff Diver Orlando Duque is now recovering after his third surgery following his skydiving accident.
Orlando wrote on his Facebook page:
Going in for the 3rd surgery in a couple of hours. Almost all the hardware coming out :)
The following pictures is now his Facebook profile and he went on to say:
Surgery went well, thanks for the good vibes :) few days resting at home and hopefully soon some diving
I wish both of these athletes the best during these holiday seasons and may both of them recover soon.

This set of worksheets is actually a "cloze" (fill in the blank) activity that uses the words to each song. On each sheet, the the words to the song are written out for the child. However, each time the child comes to the "target" word of the song, there is a blank space for him to fill in the word. This allows the child to practice writing the target word several times, but within the context of the song. For added help, the first time the word comes up in the song, the blank has traceable letters for the child to practice writing that word on the space. After that, he or she simply fills in each blank space with the missing word.
Heidi's students usually start this lesson by reading the lyrics to the song off of a chart, and then "underlining" the target word with Wikki Stix or colored word highlighting strips. Then the children try to read/sing the song back to the teacher when they are finished, touching each word as they say it. This gives them extra practice in tracking words in a sentence and also gives them the feeling of reading fluently.
Includes 123 pages, Words Covered Are:
again, away, because, come, could, help, house, how, jump, little, look, make, one, run, should, their, there, they're, three, to, too, two, want, we're, were, when, where, who, why, and would.

Well, I guess you can't accuse me of overdoing it with posts these days. But it's quality not quantity, right? Or something like that. Here are two odes to the days before cell phones, when people had to use these things called answering machines. They kinda sucked, didn't they? One of these bits I wrote, one I only wish I did. The photos are from Erwin, Tennessee, where they once hung an elephant for murder. Only they botched the first attempt and had to try a second time. Hey, it ain't easy to build a gallows for a pachyderm.
ANSWERING MACHINE - I hadn't spoken to her in two years; hadn't seen her in more than that. But I found an old answering machine tape in a box of junk and put it in the player. I knew it was a bad idea, that I should just toss it in the trash with the outdated magazines and credit card receipts, but instead I pushed "PLAY" and sat on the floor to listen. It was toward the end of things and there were dozens of calls. Her dad. My mother. Calls where the concern was palpable underneath the usual greetings. Those who didn't know left invitations for us both to come by. The others were already splitting into her friends and mine, some addressing her, some me. Some seemed unsure who to address. Toward the very end were calls from the landlord asking about moving dates and forwarding addresses. The last call was from me. I said only her name and then the tape ran out. I got up off the floor, took the tape out of the player and weighed it in my hand for a few moments. Then I broke it in half against the corner of the dining room table. A spool rolled across the floor, a tiny streamer of tape unfurling on the carpeting. It won't matter. Some messages can never be erased.
ANSWERING MACHINE-The Replacements
Try and breathe some life into a letter; I'm losing hope, we'll never be together; My courage is at its peak, do you know what I mean?; How do say you're O.K. to an answering machine?; How do you say good night to an answering machine?
Big town's got its losers, small town's got its vices; I've got a handful of friends, one needs a match and one needs some ice; Call away on the phone, another time zone; How do you say I miss you to an answering machine?; How do say good night to an answering machine?
"If you'd like to make a call, please hang up and dial again. If you need help, please dial your operator."
I get enough of that.
Try to free a slave of ignorance; Try and teach a whore about romance.
How do you say I miss you to an answering machine?; How do you say good night to an answering machine?; How do you say I'm lonely to an answering machine?; The message is very plain; Oh, I hate your answering machine; I hate your answering machine;
I hate your answering machine.

Note: I started writing this in the Citi Field press box during the seventh inning, promising myself that if the Mets staged an improbable comeback I would groan and hit delete in honor of suffering beat writers everywhere.
"No cheering in the press box" is one of the oldest rule of sportswriting, and it's one that I agree with, even if they do one day let us dwellers in mothers' basements into those august precincts.
Which the Mets were kind enough to do tonight.
With Greg unfortunately unable to attend, I represented us at the Mets' latest blogger event. As always, it was a lot of fun. We started by attending Terry Collins' pregame press conference (which happens just a few steps from the Hodges entrance on the right-field side), watched batting practice from the margins of the field, then got a visit from R.A. Dickey, up close and personal. Having now stood three feet from the man, I'm reasonably certain that he now actually exists and is not a figment of bloggers' collective imaginations.
We asked him about climbing mountains in Africa, being on Twitter, writing a book with Wayne Coffey, the clubhouse this year and last year, his record and how he thinks he's pitched, and a lot more, and he was invariably thoughtful. Where a lot of ballplayers (*cough* Jeter! *cough* Wright!) seem to have trained themselves not to be interesting, Dickey seems incapable of being dull. Above all else, he strikes you as comfortable in his own skin: He gently but firmly knocked aside a question about young players in garbage time not feeling the pressure of expectations, saying that any player in the major leagues arrives with such expectations; parsed what advanced stats say about his 2011 performance but said above all else he wants to win; and charmingly deflected a query about pitching into his 40s with the conclusion that he'll be pitching Sunday at 1:10 pm. That's a quick paraphrase of 10 minutes with a man who could hold your attention for 210 minutes at a time even without a baseball in his hand.
(In case you're curious, I was content to soak it in instead of asking something myself. I figured anything I'd say would come out as GAAH I LOVE YOUR PITCHING AND I LIKE STAR WARS I EVEN WRITE BOOKS ABOUT IT!!! Which is why I stayed quiet. Longer, angstier explanation here.)
(Morning Update: Here's video of the interview from On the Black.)
Then we went upstairs for a quick bite to eat, and the monsoons came. You could hear the thunder crashing outside and watch the red blob of terrible things devour the NYC area on the radar map, and so we sat there, Mets hosts and bloggers, and talked about the club and baseball and how we became fans and Shea and a whole lot else, and it was a pretty great way to spend a rain delay.
Finally, we went up to the press box, which is bigger than I'd noted — I'd half-jokingly asked if the beat writers would see our entry as the end of the world, but the press box is so big that our contingent was barely noticeable. After we'd sat up there a while, the rain finally stopped and one by one the beat writers opened the big windows between them and the stands. Outside, a surprisingly decent chunk of the crowd was still in attendance, perhaps because the 7 train was hors de deluge.
Games that start hours after you've given up on them can be a lot of fun, particularly when they have an outfielders-splashing-through-lakes, anything-goes quality. (I should note here that Citi Field seems to drain extremely well. No splashing visible.) Games that Mike Pelfrey pitches, on the other hand, are all too frequently not fun. It was the usual Bad Pelf outing, with lots of stalking around behind the mound and irritable swipes across his brow and walking people and getting lit up. I've said it before and will no doubt say it again, but I think it's time for Big Pelf to become somebody else's project. It doesn't seem like a stretch to imagine a 2012 rotation of Niese, Dickey, Gee, Santana and X; there are a lot of Xs that could deliver Pelfrey production at a much smaller price.
There was one good thing about Pelfrey's thorough awfulness, though: It ensured there was no chance one of us bloggers would violate the prohibition against cheering in the press box. Several nifty David Wright plays aside, there was nothing much to cheer for.

Club Industry's exclusive guide to children's fitness products.
Like adults, children's obesity levels are at an all-time high. As members of the fitness community, it's the health clubs' duty to promote healthy lifestyles and exercise to our nation's youth. Whether it be by offering children's exercise programming, fitness equipment and products especially-designed for younger ages, or by selling and promoting kids' health and wellness products in proshops and counter displays, fitness clubs can't afford to ignore America's youth. With school starting up again in the fall, now is a perfect time for club owners to make sure they have after school activities, programming and products available at their health club. In addition, if fitness becomes a family affair, member retention becomes that much greater. The youth market is an investment in fitness' future.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Most departments in Jacksonville should expect budget cuts this year, according to the mayor's office.
Last year, Mayor Alvin Brown's office had a public battle with the Jacksonville Sheriff's Office over cuts.
"The mayor has been clear there will be cuts. We don't have a fixed number at this point, but with the kinds of cuts will be tough choices," mayoral spokesman David DeCamp said. "We're really not really going to single out specific departments at this point. But there's a lot of shared responsibilities to balance this budget."
Channel 4 has learned some early estimates of cuts for the city's budget:
JSO expects to have 119 positions cut, but most of those positions are unfilled.
Nearly $4 million could be cut from the library system, meaning some libraries could be closed on certain days and others may have their hours cut.
JFRD estimates about 40 positions will be cut, but many of them are unfilled.
The mayor's office said most of the $32 million the city is over budget comes from a specific area.
"Property tax revenue continues to decline, but we've also had a dramatic increase in pension costs," DeCamp said. "Obviously, that's not due to any problems with the good men and women who earn those pensions, but costs have increased dramatically and one reason why Mayor Brown wants pension reform later this year."
