Deal Reality in Virtual Vegas
The social-gaming explosion keeps spurring deals in Vegas.
Slot-machine giant Bally Technologies this past week bought assets from Chiligaming. This follows rival International Game Technology's purchase of online casino Double Down Interactive last month and Caesars Entertainment's deal for online slots company Playtika last year.
The earlier deals were for companies that run social games on Facebook. Bally, meanwhile, wants to help its casino customers offer games on their own websites as well.
All the deals offer a marketing opportunity to push online players to the casino floor. Plus, they give the acquirers a foothold in online games as the legalization of real-money online wagers in the U.S. draws closer.
Meanwhile, say people familiar with the discussions, Facebook and Zynga have had talks with gambling-industry players to investigate how legalization may lead to moneymaking possibilities. With so many players on their platforms, they have dealt themselves a great hand.

More free stuff on GameTap? Sign me up. Interplay have announced a deal with the service whereby some of their older titles - like Fallout, MDK and Descent - will be made available. And not just on the subscription service or download store, either. In the totally free, ad-supported bit as well. While I imagine most of you will head on over to give Fallout one last try before the third game hits later this year, I'd recommend a quick spin on Descent first. Only two games have ever made me literally dizzy. Even a little bit sick. But in a good way! Descent is one of them.

Could the next Mark Zuckerberg be a Marcia? That's the question Glamour recently asked me, as part of an effort to throw some light on the disturbing lack of women in high-level tech jobs.
While things are a lot better in the digital industry than, say, in deep-sea fishing, it's still a slow slog to equality in power, influence and money. Need proof? While women make up 48 percent of our workforce, they hold just 24 percent of the jobs in science, tech, engineering and math.
I've ranted about the problem on my blog, allthingsd.com. It reminds me, I've said, of an old short film featuring the Little Rascals: After not getting invited to a party, the little dudes of Our Gang decide to form their own group, called, comically, The He-Men Woman-Haters Club. In other words: No girls allowed!
It was wink-wink cute back in the 1930s, when Spanky huffed and puffed about keeping out Darla, but it's not as a-dork-able when you look at the big Web companies today: Very few have a female CEO or women on their board.
So what's the problem? That, as it turns out, is an incredibly complex issue with a range of reasons: Not enough women get advanced computer science degrees, much less funding goes to women-led start-ups, and some tech CEOs don't practice gender diversity where the real power resides—in top corporate jobs.
The good news, though, is that The He-Men Woman-Haters Club was never able to keep Darla out for long. It's certainly possible that the next great tech legend will be a woman. Now's the time to make it probable. Meet the women who are doing just that.

Treatment, Stage I and II
Surgical treatment is most commonly used in early-stage lung cancer, but sometimes, chemotherapy is used in addition to surgery and/or radiation therapy. Occasionally, patients may not receive standard treatment because they specifically declined; or watchful waiting (observation) may be considered in rare specific cases of very early-stage disease.
Treatment – All Types
The pie charts below represent the treatment options that NSCLC patients received during the period covering 2000-2008. The proportions of combination therapies are not represented in the "All Treatment" pie charts.

"My Way" is the affordable not-for-profit personal care program (with no annual fees) for Northwest Philadelphia residents 55 and older, founded in Mt. Airy in 2010 that has grown to include 2300 members, and provides services for 150 to 200 local seniors a week.
My Way recently relocated to 7051 Germantown Ave. in the former Neighborhood Interfaith Movement (NIM) building, located across the street from Mt. Airy Playground, a block south of its original location at 7104 Germantown Ave.
"I think of it as a sign that My Way is here to stay," said Eric Wilden, executive director at My Way, who worked at NIM, the co-founder of My Way, before taking over as executive director last July.
According to Wilden, the group's goal is to help seniors stay in their homes longer. My Way's caregivers provide services ranging from rides to the grocery store and doctors' appointments to house and yard work and pet care. The services are for seniors who want to remain independent and live in their own homes but can benefit from a little extra help that may be otherwise hard to find when they want it.
"If we can't do it, we can point them to someone who can," said Wilden. That includes trying to find someone to accompany a member to Washington D.C. to see the cherry trees blossom in the spring. Or finding a server to help with a member's holiday party. "We're helping eliminate some of the isolation seniors feel," said Wilden.
One elderly Chestnut Hill resident who is a member of My Way told us, "I had a large limb fall on my property. I didn't know what to do because these things used to be done by my husband. I didn't have anyone with references, plus there were safety issues to be considered. Initially, someone from My Way came out and explained their services to me. I feel quite comfortable using them now. If they don't have a person on staff who can do the job, they get you in touch with someone who can. For someone like me who's alone, it's important to maintain the house. I can call them for most services."
That seniors have a choice is something My Way wants to emphasize. The group is here to help if such help is wanted. Membership is free. Its caregivers' services are available for $19.50 an hour. The price was raised from $18.75 this February. Trips to the airport are $30 each way.
The new location will allow for expanded services. It has offered personal care and non-medical companionship services since its inception, but now, according to Wilden, they are interested in offering more of that type of help. It is a licensed homecare provider by the state's Department of Health.
My Way's caregivers are a group of 45 employees hired after they have passed through a series of background checks, including drug, criminal, driving and a two-step tuberculosis test. Some are My Way members themselves; others are college students working summer jobs or graduate students and others who balance part-time jobs.
"We strongly believe it is the wave of the future to help people stay in their homes," said Joe Lukach, CEO of the Ralston Center, a co-founder of My Way.
Northwest Philadelphia was selected for a pilot program because of its population and the fact that it already had some services for seniors available. In May, 2010, the program was launched through a partnership between NIM and the Ralston Center. The Ralston Center, located in University City, has provided aging services in Philadelphia for 196 years.
At My Way, Wilden's role is an extension of his education. Raised in the Lehigh Valley, Wilden, 44, earned a bachelor's degree in philosophy from Ursinus College in 1992. He moved west to Salt Lake City for 10 years, where he worked for environmental groups, grassroots campaigns and fundraising at the University of Utah.
He later enrolled at Naropa University, founded by a Tibetan Buddhist teacher in Boulder, Co. He earned a master's of divinity with a focus in Buddhism in 2003 and moved to Philadelphia, where he worked for Clean Water Action (CWA) before starting at NIM in 2006.
When NIM filed for bankruptcy last fall, there were concerns about My Way's future, but Wilden insists the relocation represents "our roots growing deeper into the community."
Wilden, who lived in Mt. Airy for seven years until he moved with his wife and two daughters to Elkins Park two years ago, thinks a real impact can be made at the neighborhood level.
"I'd rather create community on a smaller geographic scale doing something on the ground level," he said. "For me it's about personal connection."

Well, like I said 10 seconds into the game and im stuck.
Why? you may ask. Well when asked to use the holodeck for incoming message theres no way to do it. Now not saying its a bug, I may be totaly dumb, but if I follow the instructions on any other part of the ship it works and the crew go walking to the object and interact, so I assume its the sameway with the holodeck right?
If im doing something wrong please tell me, if not how can I get to play the game past these first 10 seconds. I imagine you dont need to do the tutorial to actualy play the game, but im an old school gamer been at it for more than 30 years and I remember and miss those 100+ page manuals where they put you on the right track without telling you everything, so I really like tutorials (does that make me weird?).

Transportation Options for Meetings and Groups
We get it. Transportation is a critical part of a successful meeting – not just in getting to your destination, but also in getting around once you're there.
When your destination is the Paradise Coast, your transportation needs are covered with:
- An expanding list of flights from a growing number of cities heading to and from Southwest Florida International Airport (RSW), located just 35 minutes from the Paradise Coast.
- Reliable transportation to and from your meeting destination as well as a number of ways and means to explore the breathtaking sights of the Paradise Coast.
- Environmentally responsible options to lighten your carbon footprint, not only on our beaches but everywhere your desires take you.
- Once-in-a-lifetime cruises designed to suit your meeting needs.
Getting Here
There are already 48 non-stop destinations via 12 airlines to RSW.
You can check out detailed information on all flights in and out of RSW.
Getting Around
Spending all of their time confined to meeting and breakout rooms might dull the energy of attendees. So you might be interested in exploring the energy-reviving offerings provided by Naples Transportation Tours & Event Planning (NTT&EP).
At NTT&EP, you can experience Segway sightseeing tours around Naples, heart-thumping Everglades excursions and just about everything in between, including trolley tours and limo service.
NTT&EP boasts its own fleet of vehicles including sedans, limos, SUVs, executive vans and more to answer all of your personal and group transportation needs. Whether you're only interested in transfers to and from RSW or need transportation for various activities surrounding your meeting or conference, NTT&EP is one stop you'll want to consider.
Getting on the Water
Treat your group to a luxury cruise aboard the 105-foot Naples Princess luxury yacht. Take your choice of cruise: mid-afternoon sightseeing, lunch buffet, sunset dinner or a live entertainment specialty cruise. No matter which you select, your group will enjoy unparalleled air-conditioned comfort while taking in unforgettable sights. There's also the Marco Island Princess, which cruises out of Marco Island. You can also plan a cruise for your group all the way to Key West from Marco Island aboard the Key West Express.
Or try Pure Naples for a different kind of Gulf experience. Of course you can also enjoy sightseeing, lunch or sunset dinner cruises on their smaller vessels, but members of your group may also select deep-sea or bay fishing nautical excursions as well as cultural and water adventures that will be remembered for a lifetime.
No matter which cruise they select, be sure to remind the members of your group to bring their cameras. You never know when they'll see a pod of dolphins greet these vessels or catch a glimpse of eagles, egrets and osprey that seem delighted to welcome guests into their wet world.

Adolescents: Practice Interventions
David L. Hussey
This chapter summarizes literature and research related to advances in direct practice work with adolescents. Social workers are on the forefront of developing and utilizing a variety of evidence-based practices to address complex client and community needs.
African Americans: Practice Interventions
Sharon E. Moore
African Americans number about 35 million or 12% of the U.S. population. Their life expectancy is lower than that of White Americans, and despite the educational gains made since mid-1980s, the unemployment gap between African Americans and Whites has increased. Similarly, although the number of African Americans working in white-collar occupations has increased, the disparity in wage earnings between African American and White workers continues. Regardless of social class African Americans are made to be cognizant of their race at all times. Today they are still at risk for social issues such as substance abuse, teen pregnancy, incarceration, poverty, high rates of female headed households, infant mortality that is twice as high as Whites, residential segregation, racism, and discrimination. As daunting as these problems are, the strengths of the African American community have allowed it to thrive even amid arduous circumstances.
Afrocentric Social Work
Colita Nichols Fairfax
Afrocentric social work is a concept and praxis approach applicable in environmental and global settings where people of African descent are located. Using concept analysis as a methodology, this article explores Afrocentric social work theory and its applicability in the social sciences. Concept analysis is an examination of a thought or theory with the intent to create a more concise operational definition. Afrocentric social work not only is applicable to racial and social justice issues, it also is applicable to intellectual and philosophical discourses of social work, which has largely ignored Afrocentric social work as a viable theory and philosophical canon. The Walker and Avant method of concept analysis is employed in this article to provide a systemic discourse to define the attributes of Afrocentric social work, as well as its structural elements that scholars and practitioners utilize as a theory and praxis application.
Aging: Practice Interventions
Lenard W. Kaye
Social workers address older adult issues at all levels of service planning, policy-making, and delivery and across a wide range of community and institutional settings. While various models of practice intervention with older adults exist, more recently the focus is on the integration of micro and macro strategies with an emphasis on strength-based perspectives to geriatric social work practice. The older adult population will expand dramatically and become increasingly culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse in the future and social work services will need to be sensitive to the variety of issues faced by a more heterogeneous and sophisticated older adult population.
Alaska Natives
Sarah (Hicks) Kastelic
Alaska Natives represent less than 1% of the U.S. population but reside in more than 229 Native villages and account for 40% of federally recognized tribes. Most Alaska Native communities shared common Euro-American contact experiences: exposure to western religions, education, and disease. Historical trauma contributes to many of the social welfare problems Natives experience today: low educational attainment, unemployment, inadequate health care, substance abuse, and violence. Service delivery mechanisms, lack of cultural appropriateness, and isolation compound these pressing issues. Locally delivered social welfare services that take into account traditional Native worldviews, values, languages, and intergenerational relationships are effective in addressing many of these issues.
Asian Americans: Practice Interventions
Rowena Fong
This entry describes the diversity among Asian American populations, setting the context to understand the need for different practice interventions. It explains the role of cultural values in the underpinnings of the selection of theoretical frameworks that guide chosen practice interventions. Indigenous and biculturalizations of interventions (Fong, Boyd, & Browne, 1997) are discussed as they relate to general and specific problems relevant to this population. Challenges and dilemmas are raised as ethical decisions are made among practitioners, who serve the Asian American native born, immigrant, and refugee populations.
Authoritative Settings and Involuntary Clients
Steven P. Segal
Social workers are increasingly working in authoritative settings—that is, settings where they have the power to mandate conformity by the client to the normative and often legal requirements of the organization. Such settings may be residential, such as jails, prisons, and rehabilitation facilities, or community-based organizations that are part of the criminal justice system, the mental health system, the health system, and the child welfare system. The exercise of power derived from the authority vested in the setting's objectives may and often does alter the total life situation of an individual, such as when a client is compelled to move to supervised care without the client's consent. Under an outpatient civil commitment order or mental health court supervision, the patient may be told where to live and with whom to associate as well as be required to participate in interactive treatment and to take medication. In authoritative settings, social workers are working with "involuntary" clients—clients who understand, whether or not it is explicitly stated, that the social worker possesses the power to effect unwanted change in their life circumstance. Since the early 1990s, the field has been developing new ideas and skills that are equally useful in working with voluntary and involuntary clients. In the process, social worker authority is now viewed less as a way to gain client compliance and, instead, is understood more as an opportunity to build partnerships with clients that lead to changes that are enduring and more meaningful to clients.
Cognitive Therapy
Joseph Walsh
Cognitive therapy is a perspective on social work intervention with individuals, families, and groups that focuses on conscious thought processes as the primary determinants of most emotions and behaviors. It has great appeal to social work practitioners because of its utility in working with many types of clients and problem situations, and its evidence-based support in the literature. Cognitive therapies include sets of strategies focused on education, a restructuring of thought processes, improved coping skills, and increased problem-solving skills for clients.
Contexts/Settings: Private/Independent Practice Settings
Sandra A. Lopez
Private independent practice (known historically as private practice) is a growing segment of the social work profession. Social workers entering this context are providing a range of services, including clinical and nonclinical. Major considerations for establishing, maintaining, and marketing a successful and ethical private independent practice will be discussed. Existing tensions and challenges in the social work profession and in the field of social work education will be briefly examined. Future directions for private independent practice of social work will be explored.
Counseling Older Adult Victims of Ageism in the Workplace
Margo A. Jackson
Despite the significant life and work experiences that a growing number of older adults have to contribute to the workforce, pervasive ageism operates in overt and covert ways to discriminate against older workers in hiring and workplace practices. This article provides a current overview of definitions, prevalence, types, and effects of ageism in the U.S. workplace. For social workers counseling older adult victims of workplace ageism, this article discusses theories, foundational knowledge, and ongoing self-awareness and training needed for bias awareness. Counseling strategies and resources are highlighted, including coping and resilience strategies to counteract ageist stereotypes and discrimination, facilitate job-seeking support, and advocate for older workers by promoting awareness and serving as a resource for employers to reduce workplace ageism.

I had toyed with the idea of writing some kind of thoughtful retrospective piece to mark the occasion, but when Tuesday came I was mad busy getting tax stuff together for my accountant and packing to come away to Switzerland for a few days, so that idea went out the window - for the moment at least. So here I am instead three days later, writing this from a Starbuck's in Basel, one of those rare establishments offering a uniquely appealing combination of tea made to my exacting prescription (because they leave you to make it yourself, basically) and complimentary Internet access. Actually, I haven't quite trained the staff here to leave room for milk, but that is a small point.
Come to think of it, I did celebrate my second anniversary – though it wasn't planned that way – by buying another fridge for my perfumes. A suitable one came up on Ebay last week within easy pick up distance, and I knew I had to move fast. Before I left I just had time to spread my collection between the two fridges in a very loose "summer / winter" sort of a way, and there was an audible sight of relief (no, not just the new fridge whirring, really) from the bottles as they found themselves with room to breathe – and to flex their bows and ribbons where applicable.
I will also celebrate the two year mark by offering a sample of Bottega Veneta (which I reviewed the other week) to two readers drawn at random out of suitable receptacle. Their names, I mean, not the readers themselves. And you can live anywhere to be eligible! Just leave a comment (with the exception of those persistent spammers on whose annoying account I have had to bring back the captcha rigmarole) to be entered in the draw, which will close at noon GMT on Monday 31st. A comment about anything really – why you are keen to try Bottega Veneta, what you would like to see on Bonkers in the coming year, whether you still don't mind my not being as overtly interactive as other bloggers (now there's a mouthful!), whether you would like to see a thoughtful retrospective at some point, haha - anything really.
Coming up next - airport sniffing and meeting the Swiss perfumistas (again!)

I would love to try the perfume. Thank you for your review on Suddenly Madame Glamour!ReplyDelete
Congrats on your 2nd blogoversary:-) No need to enter me, since I have a sample already.ReplyDelete
Pick me! Pick me! After finding a cure for cancer, solving Fermat's last theorem, winning the Nobel Peace Prize and the National Book Award, I need a little sniffing break.ReplyDelete

PS Congratulations on your second anniversary.

Congrats on your 2nd anniversary! I would love to win a sample of the Bottega Veneta EDP. I'm curious about a fragrance from such an esteemed fashion house.ReplyDelete
Happy 2nd birthday Bonkers about Perfume!!! I have no requests, it is already such a pleasure to read your hilarious posts.ReplyDelete

Happy 2nd Birthday!!!ReplyDelete
I love Bonkers just as it is, although I would have expected a moving tear-jerker of a retrospective and sincerely hope you are working on one for the next anniversary at the very least! :)
No need to enter me in the draw, I have a bottle.

2nd anniversary of the blog! Congratulations, and just keep doing what you're doing anyway to keep me reading:-)ReplyDelete
Enjoy some Swiss choc to celebrate, perhaps?
cheerio, Anna in Edinburgh
I just recently found your blog and I'm hoping you'll have many more anniversaries! I would love to try this perfume, all the positive reviews have really whetted my appetite but I fear it will be a long time before it makes an appearance in northern Sweden or I find an excuse to escape the fast-approaching winter...ReplyDelete
Hi Ms Bubu,ReplyDelete
Thanks to you too for helping to spread the word about Suddenly Madame Glamour, or "Sub Machine Gun" perfume as another reader, Nicole, so fetchingly dubbed it.
You're in the draw!
Hi Asali,ReplyDelete
Appreciate your good wishes - "blogoversary" is a good word for it. We do after all have "blogosphere" and "fumiverse". : - )
Hi Nancy H,ReplyDelete
A more deserving case couldn't be imagined... And if you are the Nancy H I think you might be, wasn't it also your birthday not so long ago?
And even if it wasn't, I think we should go ahead and toss it in there anyway. Your birthday's this year at least. ; - )
Hi Alexis,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the congrats - it is a very fine fragrance by any standards, I'd say. You are in the draw!
Hi Ari,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the good wishes, and I must say that for my money your own blog is one of the funniest in Perfumeland!
Hi Olfactoria,ReplyDelete
I haven't given up on the idea of a retrospective, possibly over my life as a perfume wearer prior to becoming a perfumista, rather than looking back at "the life" of Bonkers itself. Would try not to jerk tears if possible - well, not *sad* ones, anyway!
You are indeed the happy owner of a bottle of BV... I saw my first bottle in-store in the Bahnhofstrasse in Zurich today, next door to Elie Saab. They had conveniently merchandised some of my favourites together...
I also saw my first Bottega Veneta shop, further along the street. I would have gone in had it not been such a whistlestop visit.
Hi Anna,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the congrats and for your dedicated support of Bonkers!
I treated myself to some hot chestnuts today but have been eyeing up the chocolate too - it is only a question of time before I make my move... : - )
You're in the draw! (As is everyone who hasn't specifically said they don't need to be entered.)
Hi Eva S,ReplyDelete
Am glad you found your way to Bonkers and sorry that northern Sweden is not better served with perfumeries. I have not been further north than Ed, which isn't very north at all, really. The likes of NK in Stockholm will have Bottega Veneta in no doubt, but that could be as far away from you as Spain from the UK! (Okay, I am a bit shaky on the exact distances concerned, but Sweden looks LONG.)
So good luck in the draw - there are two chances at least, and the odds are considerably better than the National Lottery. : - )
Thank you, Vanessa. I am who you think I am (at least I *think* I am who I am) and had my birthday a couple of weeks ago.ReplyDelete
Happy anniversary!!!! I love your blog. Did you know that? :-iReplyDelete
I must retry BV. I tried it when I was congested so didn't give it a fair trial.
Happy Blogoversary!ReplyDelete
I enjoy reading your posts, I love that you share your travel experiences with us - as well as your perfume findings. I admire your methodical approach to everything (and I'm still laughing every time I hear a word "paprika"). Keep all of that coming!
No need entering me into the draw, I have a sample already.

My first response upon opening this post was "Two fridges!!" or, a la Bonkers, "First Fridge Finds Friend, Frees 'Fumes".ReplyDelete
Happy 2nd Anniversary/Blogoversary! I'm with Ari -- don't change a thing.
As for the Bottega Veneta, do please enter me into the draw. I'm always interested in leather notes, or in this case a beautiful suede. And perhaps, while wearing it, I can imagine I have won the lottery and buy one of those lovely woven leather bags.

happy anniversaryReplyDelete
I love your travel reports
I would be happy to try "Bottega" since it gets such good reviews
thanks and enjoy the sniffa...
No need to enter me; just stopping by to wish you a very happy blogoversary and to wish for many more of them. :)ReplyDelete
- Anonymous29 October 2011 at 16:37
Congratulations! And here's to many more. :)ReplyDelete
Also no need to enter me in the draw, as I finally prized a sample from a local SA.
Hi Nancy,ReplyDelete
It was the "H" that led to my hunch it was you...
Hi lovethescents,ReplyDelete
I did get the impression you were also lovetheblog, as it happens, and thanks for your support since the start! You have been a major enabler of my perfume hobby and the instigator of character-building overseas shopping missions!
Hi Undina,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your good wishes. I think we are kindred spirits on the methodical research front!, and I was pleased to discover your blog in the second year of Bonkers. I like the way you weave personal experiences and memories into your perfume-themed posts and your recent post on jealousy really struck a chord! : - )
Hi Lindaloo,ReplyDelete
I swear you should be writing my titles! One day, when the alliterative muse finally bites the dust, as surely it must (that was assonance at least), I will formally engage your help.
You are in the draw and as you say, if you win - and the odds are excellent - you can at least smell like a very classy bag. : - )
Hi Irina,ReplyDelete
Thanks and good luck in the draw! All the reviews I have read of BV have been favourable so there's a fair chance you'll like it too.
The Swiss sniffa continues apace - on my third day and doing much better than usual on the sample-scoring front. It may be a winning combination of asking outright and a good coat.
Hi Olenska,ReplyDelete
Thanks very much! Yours is another fine blog I discovered in the past year. I will always associate you with your mid-mid-mid-mid Atlantic location. Or something like that... : - )
Hi anotherperfumeblog,ReplyDelete
Thanks for the congrats - yours is anotherfineperfumeblog I came across this year! And well done for extracting a sample of this from an SA.
- Anonymous29 October 2011 at 20:41
Happy Birthday Bonkers!!ReplyDelete
May you continue to write about perfume and your wonderfully bonkers road trips for many years to come :D
Happy Anniversary!ReplyDelete
I am keen on sampling Bottega Veneta because it is not yet available in my country but it seems that everyone of my fellow perfume enthusiasts here tried it...How come I didn't? Well, I'm busy doing my Ph.D. and haven't flown abroad recently...Sadly...Thanks for the draw!
On the other hand, I'd like to read more about something precious you found in your friend's home, or in your Grandma's closet or in a place you didn't ever think you would find such treasure!
- Bradamante30 October 2011 at 09:34
Congratulations! Really happy with your blog, perfum and great fun, what else could one wish for?ReplyDelete
And I'm very very curious about the Bottega Veneta - read such good stuff about it. O, wouldn't it be wonderful if this was the first time I finally won something on a fragrance blog...
Hi Candy Perfume Boy!ReplyDelete
Thanks for your support of Bonkers - we have known each other a while, but I am delighted you are also blogging now. Your reviews are some of the most comprehensive (and sumptuously illustrated!) in the blogosphere.
Hi Lyubov,ReplyDelete
Thanks for coming through and good luck in the draw! You sound another deserving case if you can't get Bottega Veneta readily where you live.
That's an interesting suggestion for a post too, and although I barely knew my own grandma (who'd be about 130 now if she were still around), a friend recently sent me an interesting miniature that belonged to her own grandmother and I am planning to do a post on that. By chance it connects with my own (very sketchy) "perfume past" before becoming a serious fan of fragrance.
Hi Bradamante,ReplyDelete
Thanks very much and you're in the draw. Very reasonable odds as I say - fingers crossed that this time you will be lucky!
Many congratulations on Bonkers 2nd anniversary - and your new fridge - V!ReplyDelete
I love the way you put so much of yourself and your adventures into your blog. Your posts are always entertaining as well as interesting and the reports from your road trips are always a good read. Keep up the good work V!
P.S. No need to enter me in the draw thanks, as I have just today hit "Buy It Now" on a bottle on Ebay, yay!
Heartiest congratulations on your two years of very entertaining blogging, Vanessa. I feel like I should be singing and snapping my fingers to that old Roger Miller tune, "King of the Road" (though the lyrics aren't at all fitting, so I should probably pick a different tune) because I've been amazed by all of your travel adventures and thrilled to come along on the ride.ReplyDelete
No need to enter me in the draw. Just wanted to wish you another great year ahead.
Hi Suzanne,ReplyDelete
Thanks very much for your lovely comment - "King of the Road" would certainly make a good driving tune all right!
And you would have been just in time for the draw as it happens, but I realise that a lot of people have tried this already.
Have a few travel & sniffing posts coming up shortly now I'm back from my trip to Switzerland. : - )
I am so sorry to be late!ReplyDelete
I wanted to comment when this was posted but didn't have time and now I'm seriously late.
Anyway, happy blog birthday dear Vanessa! :)
And I hope your trip is going well. :)
Hi Ines,ReplyDelete
Thanks for your kind wishes, and being late is no problem. I always say that I will accept birthday presents up to six months after the event, after which they become early ones for the following year.
Anniversary greetings within a week or so are well within normal parameters. ; - ) ; - )

Drivers See Gas Prices Rise, with Perhaps More to Come
Drivers in New Jersey and around the nation saw prices at the pump increase over the Independence Day holiday travel period.
AAA Mid-Atlantic says the average price of a gallon of regular gas in New Jersey on Friday was $2.90, up three cents from last week. Motorists were paying $2.29 for gas in New Jersey at this time last year.
The national average gas price Friday was $2.87 a gallon, up two cents from last week. The national average a year ago was $2.24 a gallon.
Analysts say drivers should prepare for possible higher prices in coming weeks due to a shrinking global crude oil supply, continuing high demand in the summer driving season and sanctions on Iran creating an unpredictable market.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Lipscomb head softball coach Kristin Ryman has added Madison Wray and Heather Parker to the 2012 recruiting class, bringing the total number of signees to seven.
Following the graduation of a trio of seniors (Whitney Kiihnl, Caroline Mason, Mollie Mitchell) vital to the Lady Bisons over the last four seasons, Ryman needs athletes who can step in and contribute right away.
Utility player Madison Wray is a two-time all-district selection who will compete at multiple positions in the infield and outfield for the Lady Bisons. Fluent in Spanish, Wray will major in the language in hopes of becoming a Spanish professor after graduation.
"We are excited to add Madison to our program for next year," Ryman said. "She is the epitome of a dedicated, organized, and disciplined student-athlete. She will compete at multiple positions in both the infield and outfield, and we look forward to seeing her develop her all-around game.
"Madison is a very well-rounded person, and knew Lipscomb was the place for her when she stepped on campus. She is venturing all the way from California, and with her work ethic and maturity, she will challenge our team to be better."
Pitcher Heather Parker will team with Ashley Anderson, the lone returning starter, and fellow signee Tanner Sanders on the Lady Bisons pitching staff next season. A second-team junior college All-American at Wallace State, Parker was 29-7 with a 1.52 ERA and 261 strike outs for the Lions, who finished third at the NJCAA National Tournament.
"Heather is a competitor and a leader," Ryman said. "She is someone who wants the ball and has high expectations for herself. We are expecting her to immediately be a crucial part of our pitching staff, providing both experience and maturity. She has a strong presence in the circle, and with her movement and consistency, she will throw a lot of innings for us.
"Heather can hit as well, which will challenge our other hitters and make her a constant threat to be in our everyday lineup. Ultimately, she is a great student-athlete who will fit in extremely well with our program."

For Rand Paul, All Signs Point to 2016 Run
Sen. Rand Paul is using his newfound influence to build his political profile. WSJ's Jerry Seib talks with reporter Monica Langley about the Kentucky Republican's ambitions and what it all means for the 2016 presidential race. Photo: David Kasnic.
This transcript has been automatically generated and may not be 100% accurate.
... I ... you're excited Wall Street you're going by my colleague Monica Langley was just pretty and very interesting profile of a very interesting player in politics in America today re and call summon most Americans ... have even heard of a couple years ago ... the takeaway from your profile Monica was as much as anything this is a guide to ... what's to be not just the player ... but media player in the next presidential sweepstakes how did you come to conclusion that's one of things it's motivating ... that's right Gerri ... you know that ... just a few months ago he was considered kind of a French politician that was put in office by the tea party in two thousand ten from his home state of Kentucky ... but since this filibuster on the floor of the city to get spam attacks ... he has taken off the end ... it's not just it is taken off for that one incident ... nice story shares after reporting ... that he is clearly warning can be a player in two thousand sixteen and is scarcely conceding considering running for president ... in you can see that when you look at his actions ... at any time talking to different groups in his positions ... his positions meaning he's doing what it suggests a presidential ... ambition is lurking in there somewhere ... well you know he's he has called himself a libertarian and a constitutional conservative to prevent or his father away says Ben and his father Ron Paul who ran for president three times ... was paid a something of an ideological cat fight so rainfall knows he estimated more to the mainstream to reach a broader spectrum of voters ... so you see him reaching out on immigration now to say that ... he is for a path to citizenship is long and immigrants are illegal immigrants are working in this country ... he even went a couple weeks ago to an historically black ... university Howard University and spoke to him about liberalizing drug laws ... so he is reaching a broader spectrum not just and more mainstream Republicans that even striking a chord with some liberals indicated in a fee to the nation and his party most importantly on some for policy issues is that's really where Ron Paul always was now live ... that's right for example his father was against ... any bases U S bases overseas ... and he says he's not an isolationist to consensus on my isolationist kind for limited intervention ... but there are there is a nice treat the U S to be in certain places ... as for example he went into a new way to Israel ... at the end actually met with the prime minister in came back and said ... I'm very pro Israel statement that any attack against Israel would be attack against the US ... so he is taking these kinds of actions that would show he is different from a spot in the UN that he doesn't deny that he's thinking about running for president say I've decided that he doesn't say all I'm not thinking about that which so many ... politicians at this stage who are trying to play calling my to decide what he does know ... he he said to me ... I'm seriously considering it ... I wanna be an actual force he does it say for sure and I ran for president ... I want to bet no matter what I would be a national force and we shake the Republican party ... a and one thing that's not been reported ... is that he and his advisors met in December ... and came up with this game plan for him to run for president ... if he chooses to do so ... and they have mapped out all the sections which started with a trip to Israel which also has included reaching out immigration speaking to the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce speaking to minority groups ... and other things that we've seen in the last few weeks including the ground filibuster ... to show that he is going to be a player so Micah though the thing that most people in all but a ... person out there like this to come to rush is on the ... National seniors what's your ... what's you like ... it's so interesting he's ... he's iconic classic bid is also very understated ... you know to go hang out with him which I didn't go to Washington in in Kentucky ... you know he's Fight ATC slide back ... and you can almost get lost in the crowd except now he's become such a big thing hear people yelling Rand Paul for president ... the limousine at politician bombast ... and nine and that he's not a back slapping politician in fact when people try to talk to the missionaries and he's honest means or you'll get involved in a very serious conversation about what's happening in Washington and government he's he's very low key ... so I guess we'll get the euro with the network's presidential campaign and ... interacts FSA story the summit will be hearing a lot more about Monica thanks for sharing it with us thinking ... and and Jerry side with Wall Street Journal

Catherine, there are those who simply wont' listen to evidence, because it has the bad taste to contradict their faith. Those you are wasting your time talking to.
As for those who MIGHT listen, I would mention the Kitzmiller v Dover trial of 2005, where the Discovery Institute tried to sneak intelligent design into the Dover, PA classrooms. One of their witnesses was one Michael Behe, who has pushing their bilge for a while. When he tried to make the claim of "no transitional fossils," he was rebutted with more published and peer-reviewed evidence than he could ignore ... and no, he had no response to it, either. They also tried to play the "irreducible complexity" card with the flagellum, and got that thrown back at them as well with a stinger structure similar to the flagellum and having much of the same structure. The Discovery Institute got handed their asses in that trial, big-time.
Still ... there are people out there who simply don't want to hear it. It's the old fingers in the ears, going: "LA LA LA LA LA I CAN'T HEAR YOU!" routine. These are the kinds of people who wouldn't even listen to Richard Dawkins because they know what they believe and will not be bothered by FACTS.
It's very depressing. Being a tutor of some form for most of my young life, I try to think that anyone and everyone can be taught.
I need to read up on Kitzmiller v. Dover, because some creationists have actually tried to claim that Behe PROVED intelligent design during that case, and they still cite irreducible complexity as a valid argument for intelligent design.
PBS's NOVA did an excellent piece on the Kitzmiller trial:
Watch Judgment Day: Intelligent Design on Trial on PBS. See more from NOVA.
It's not a quickie at nearly two hours, but it is very much worth your time. I should mention also that Wikipedia has a pretty fair article on the trial as well.
As to those who don't want to be taught, the problem is that they already think they have THE TRUTH ... so what else do they need to learn?
I should mention that the video above is Chapter 1 of 12. Here is the complete, single-piece video of the program, if you don't want to have to fuss with watching it in segments.
I normally avoid trying to have a serious discussion with fundamentalists, unless they insist. Then I let them know that religion is a mind virus which infects human hosts.
Like other viruses, religious memeplexes perpetuate themselves by infection. Their "stories" include any claims at all which appeal to hosts, no matter how ludicrous. Life after death? LOL
Trying to reason with a religious meme-infested brain is like trying to reason with a drunk, a waste of time.
Thinking about mind-viruses:
Christianity alters your identity to insure the survival of ITSELF.
-- from Prplfox's video series - http://ning.it/R2isGS
I find this interesting because despite being an atheist, I do not accept evolution, and one of the reasons for this is the "lack of transitional forms" argument. I would appreciate any feedback people have (but not just a link to an article or website with no comment or explanation).
My reasoning is thus:
1) Take (for example) an archaeopteryx (A) and a modern bird (B), one of which is claimed evolved from the other.
2) For this to happen, there should be (e.g.) 1000 very subtle changes for A to evolve into B.
3) If there are 1000 subtle changes, there should be (e.g.) 10 transitional forms that we can find which are significantly different from the previous forms and through which we can trace the evolutionary process.Yet we do not find any, or maybe only the odd couple of bones from one transitional form.
To forestall the obvious objections to the points I made above:
- Yes, I know I am making up numbers, but this is only to try and illustrate my point to make it clearer.
- I know fossils only form rarely, but given that any transitional form is a successful species for hundreds of years, I would still expect some examples to have been found which haven't turned into fuel.
- I used an arbitrary pair of animals in for my example and obviously don't expect a fossil record for everything or even a majority of animals, but I haven't seen any animals connected with a good set of fossil records and I would expect at least a few.
- I do not accept something to be true just because lots of people believe it, because lots of intelligent people believe it or because lots of stupid people don't believe it.
- If evolution is false, this just means we don't know how life got here, it does not mean creationism or intelligent design is true.
Again, as noted above, we are fortunate to have any fossils at all, considering how difficult it is to create a fossil and the number of changes the Earth's crust has undergone.
To your argument of "there should be ten transitional forms for every thousand very subtle changes" that is a meaningless statement. We cannot draw a conclusion about how many transitional forms there "should" be because there is no way to gather statistics on how many we "should" find, nor is there any evidence we will or won't find more in the future.
Moreover, all forms are transitional. The subtle changes are so subtle you do not notice them not for hundreds, but tens of thousands of years.
That said, science advances by consensus. Evolution is the consistently-best description of how life diversified on Earth. It is buttressed by multiple scientific disciplines across a huge range of fields. The theory of evolution is better-buttressed than any other theory in science, so if you call into question evolution, you might also call into question gravity, electromagnetism, or hydraulics.
If your argument is there is insufficient proof, then all those fields have less. Yet I don't presume you will jump up out of your chair and float off into space.
A working theory must account for all the facts, and adapt, change, be modified, or abandoned if it cannot. It must also be predictive. Attributed to JBS Haldane (a scientist) he is once reported to have answered the question of what would shake his support for evolution, and responded "A rabbit [fossil] in the Precambrian."
If such a thing (or something similar) were found, then the theory must be modified or even abandoned to account for it. Unlike religion, science does not ignore inconvenient facts. It adopts them.
Major scientific theories have been overthrown before. Evolution could equally be overthrown if evidence came forth that the theory could not account for. However, with support from fields as diverse as geology, biology, mathematics, and even nuclear physics that support it, such evidence would need to be quite convincing; it would be an extra-ordinary claim, and thus would need to be extra-ordinary evidence.
Even with no transitional forms whatsoever, the field of genetics by itself gives overwhelming support for evolutionary theory, a field which we have Cotton Mather (the witch-burner of Salem) to thank for with his study of different varieties of corn in Colonial Massachusetts.
The putative transitional form is not the only evidence for evolution.
As to the rest of your arguments: do not believe evolution because lots of people do - believe it because of the overwhelming evidence for it in excess of any other scientific theory which you already take as true.
You are right: even if evolution is proved to be untrue, that would mean a new theory would replace it, not (insert religious belief here). Religious beliefs could only be inserted if they can be shown to be true. But in the instant one particular belief is shown to be true, it becomes science.
Since religious views make claims about life and the universe, they can be tested in the same manner as any other claim. Barring any evidence forthcoming from the religious (dubious), they can all be shown to be false, even if evolution were also shown to be false.
There is so much support for evolution that "theory" is a misnomer. A more proper name would be "the fact of evolution."
Just the ravings of a high school educated city councilman and erotic Romance editor, your mileage may vary.
Indeed. Evolution is not a theory it's a process that is definable and demonstrable just as other processes are, such as metabolism, photosynthesis or ecological succession . There are however, mechanisms inherent in those processes that are theory (continuous vs. punctuated evolution for example). Invalidating a mechanism within the process doesn't, necessarily, invalidate the overall process.
I have (as a biology teacher) always referred to evolution as the theories of evolution.
I really hate calling people unintelligent or irrational (Catherine)
I have (as a biology teacher) always referred to evolution as the theories of evolution.(Jim)
Both of these factors count in people denying evolution. Long and slow process like evolution is very difficult to grasp by common folks(I am avoiding word unintelligent). This difficulty is futher enhanced by the fact that its knowledge is still at theory level.
That the transitional forms should be like half whale-half giraffe is a very erroneous argument. Homo habilis, homo erectus and homo sapiens are transitional forms of evolving humans and there is evidence of their existence.
Those who need to believe that man was created from Israeli dust deliberately refuse to accept evolution. They are not ignorant or fools. Their refusal to believe in evolution is very deliberate. The history of the Discovery Institute's trials illustrates this clearly. It is an open secret that what they really want to do is to malign, discredit or stop science by invoking god in scientific work. "Somehow push our god in your science" they say.
Thanks for the reply James. Yes, I agree my numbers are meaningless. As I stated there were there to try and illustrate my point. Also, I was using hundreds of years to try and be generous, I know the timescale is actually longer.
I know all forms are transitional. I was choosing 2 distant forms arbitrarily to demonstrate lack of fossil record between them. My point about getting a new form per x small changes was that it may take this many changes before we can recognise the form as significantly different from the previous one.
My argument is not "insufficient evidence", but more along the lines of "if evolution was true we would expect to see X but we don't". I admit the distinction is subtle.
We have some dinosaur fossils that are over 230 million years old. Having e.g. 10 distinct transitional forms between 2 species that occurred in the last 2-3 million years should be quite easy compared to that.
I think I agree with everything else you said. (Please note that the comments in my previous post that were preceded by a dash were not meant to be arguments for my case, they were just to avoid people repeating the obvious objections)
Jim - I would be interested if you have more information on how evolution is demonstrable. I am unaware of any demonstration of how one species evolves into another or of any technological advances that evolution has significantly contributed to.

this is another letter of complaint from my website of (homo)sexual assault that is
"When I'm hungry, I eat. When I'm thirsty, I drink. When I feel like saying something, I say it." - Madonna
back to the menu
to duquesne university, regarding ryan miner:
listen, the next time you reprimand someone for disrespecting gay "men"...why don't you reprimand gay "men" for disrespecting themselves with their whole "i'm not man enough to be my man" mentality. now, if you wanna believe there's nothing detrimental to a masculine soul about finding security, fulfillment and something excitably taboo in another one, it's your loss...but don't push your gay lack of esteem onto your students. gay "men" are so entertained when they have their hands on private parts of masculinity, it's like they just bought it at some kind of curiosity shop.
let me share with you a letter i wrote in response to chastity bono's gender-dysfunction. maybe duquesne university will stop tolerating and promoting gender-dysfunction. here follow the letter:
gender is reality. gender is as obvious an identifier as race is - changing one's gender should be regarded as ludicrous an idea as changing one's race (though michael jackson seemed to have done both). change your mind before you go to the extreme of changing your gender - it's nothing but your mind that's telling you that your body is a mistake. change your mind.
homosexuality is gender-dysfunction. this should be realized. a national tolerance of gender-dysfunction is telling children that it's okay to be mediocre. it was the summer of 1991 - hunterdon county, new jersey - i was going to see "terminator 2" with someone named josh lane - we never saw it because i was expressing my awe of his manliness and he was telling me to love myself and not to see him as the best but to become the best. i thought he was being intolerant, so i felt rejected and wanted to go home. i'd always felt mediocre, a small masculine slight, i wanted someone to accept me for it. i don't know if i'd have gone to a "gay pride" parade if i had the chance, but that's neither here nor there.
now, whether her gender-curiosity is of the masculine gender or the feminine, if it's being embraced by society that chastity bono got a sex change because she always thought that she had the wrong body, aren't people admitting a gender-identity issue? it is an issue when one doesn't feel like a female but is undeniably female. don't people realize that such issues and feelings can only come into being once a person has been around other people long enough to have come to define themselves as a specific gender in relation to the world and genders around them? how do you know you have the wrong body if you haven't been exposed to anything but your body? how do you know that there are two types of bodies? how do you come out of the womb with any information of the world when you've had no information to process while in the womb, as if a fetus is advanced enough to process information.
i was in high school and josh was the epitome of the word "man". i arrived at that conclusion through all the years i had lived, all the years i had regarded athletes as "real men," all the years i felt outcasted from the masculine gender. i had never wanted a sex change, but i sure did not feel like a "real man" and i did not feel comfortable calling myself a man when all these better men were around. i swam with my shirt on, i didn't feel man enough to take it off. i thought that tank-tops didn't belong on me because i was skinny and weak. this probably has nothing to do with any self-discontentment i felt, but i was an actor in high school - happy and comfortable to become someone else.
my lackluster sense of self complemented the lackluster specimen of manhood that i was, but maybe if i'd have gone to a "gay pride" parade then i would have been taught to be proud without having any justifiable reason to be proud of myself. if i learned how to love myself in spite of everything i wanted to change about myself, life would have been much easier and i wouldn't have had to spend so much time lifting weights and improving myself.
there is a quote i came up with before 1996, i tested it in 1996 on stevanne lusk who was behind a place called "the center for neuro-rehab" in annapolis. evita was playing at the mall during the time i was in annapolis and i loved musical theatre, in case you have any doubts of my being a legitimate homosexual after writing a letter like this.
here's the quote: "if you wanna believe there's nothing detrimental to a masculine soul about finding security, fulfillment and something excitably taboo in another one, it's your loss"
i was humping the mattress yet again this morning - do you know the stuff that is in gay porn? "men" sniffing their own armpits , "men" sniffing others' armpits, "men" with their faces wedged inside ass-cracks, "men" with their hands up someone's rear-end - when i see stuff like this i picture all these question marks flying around the heads of the curious little masculine slights that simply know themselves as "gay".
"We shoulda known you question your manhood when we saw you jerking it like you just bought it at some curiosity shop," from my first screenplay, andy's beach, (c) 1996.
why don't boys who were "born straight" come out of mama's vagina with a hard-on? on second thought, why did they even come out of mama's vagina - they're soon going to be trying to re-enter a vagina with either their fingers, tongues or dicks. one would think that being inside of a vagina would be paradise for a boy who was "born straight". on second thought, maybe newborn boys don't know anything about the world around them and maybe it'll take years to gain enough knowledge of the world (and the genders) around them to regard the vagina as special and interesting.
madonna's "justify my love" was popular in late 1990, i remember it well - i was a junior in high school. paula abdul's "opposites attract" was popular in early 1990, i remember it well - i was a sophomore. let me take a line from my aforementioned screenplay: " i'm saying that opposites attract, be that man/woman, confident man/insecure man, or even half-the-woman/epitome of 'woman'! 'opposites' is what you feel inside about yourself, it's not strictly male or female on the outside! i'm jealous, therefore i lust! i'm jealous of your body like you're jealous of saxy's. i need a man in my life for the same reason you need a woman, i feel left out!"
i therefore can understand how chastity bono came to the conclusion that she felt like she should be a man. it's cross-eyed gender-dysfunction. josh told me to change myself so that i'd love myself, he was talking about my becoming the best instead of fawning over supreme masculine images. i guess one could argue that going to a doctor to change one's gender is the same as going to a gym to change one's musculature, which brings to mind another line from my screenplay: "It works for you, huh, treating your gender like its presence on your body is some big mistake?". gender is reality - gender is as obvious as race is - changing one's gender should be regarded as ludicrous an idea as changing one's race (though michael jackson seemed to have done both). change your mind before you go to the extreme of changing your gender, it's nothing but your mind that's telling you that your body is a mistake.
gender is self, gender is reality, the way anyone thinks or feels about themselves is arrived at by - let's just say that i wouldn't have felt like a masculine slight as a boy if i was not always picked last for teams in gym class. if girls were fawning over me rather than over athletes, i probably would have been a tad more self-confident. if i wasn't only as strong as a girl, maybe i'd have had some masculine self-worth. maybe masculine self-worth is what josh was trying to give me when he told me to change myself to become the best. maybe masculine self-worth is why i enjoy gawking at images of "men" having sex as i'm humping my mattress, when the reality of having sex with anything but a masculine image keeps me from having sex with men.
maybe the absence of self-respect and masculine self-worth that i felt as a boy would have done more than bring about a lust for men. maybe it would have led me to believe that i was not supposed to be male, that i was a female trapped in a male's body. let me conclude by saying that before there is gender-reassignment surgery in anyone's life, before anyone wants to do away with their gender, there is a certain degree of self-hatred. change your mind.

David Halliday
David Halliday's photographs are about beauty, pure and simple. His primary subjects are carefully composed still lifes, portraits and landscapes which he shoots in black and white film with only natural light. He is a purist behind the lens, rarely manipulating his negatives in any way and a master in the darkroom. His work has an ethereal quality that's translated not only through the subject, but also by the warm colors and sepia tones he uses in his printing.

The Past Still Present: A master of light, New Orleans photographer David Halliday produces lush and elegant images that are both classical and modern. Using window light to illuminate his subjects, Halliday's direct formal approach offers a fresh take on the historic art prototypes of still life and portraiture. The simplicity of his visual language produces images that transcend time.

Thread Bare
David Halliday's photographic series, titled 'Threadbare', profoundly builds on his previous work, at once announcing the photographer's maturity as an artist. Provocative iconography of lost Americana- heavily decayed objects whose original intention has been exhausted- is given a new sort of vitality as his subject matter. The series began with a discarded map, used as a dartboard, that Halliday found stapled (by a prior occupant) to the wall of his upstairs bedroom. It has become the anchor, of sorts, for the group of images presented in the exhibit.
"I carefully took the frayed and faded map off the wall, piece by piece, and for the last 10 years or so have kept it stored in a ziploc bag. This year, it was time to pull it back out again. I had the individual parts scanned, visualizing it as seen in the gallery, fragmented, but whole nevertheless. The condition of the map, of America, seemed timely. The rest of the puzzle came together quickly thereafter- the giant 'squid' rope, an old pirogue boat, the barnacled life preserver and weathered signs- all old objects figuratively extracted from the geography of this tattered map."
Halliday's images, spun out of the artist's emotional response to a lost (fading?, diminished?) America, can feel political, ecological, and very personal. Through collage, he has re-scaled the objects to fit within his visual framework, informing the viewer of a new context for their inanimate life. Halliday's haunting work communicates a timeless narrative; lost, found and ultimately uncertain of what lies next. Simply threadbare.
Fishing Bobbers
Portal Series
Portal Series
Spending time in Nantucket on and off my whole life and living in New Orleans these past twenty years--water has been an ever present element. A couple of years ago, I found myself in an old Nantucket fishing shanty that belonged to my mother's lone wolf neighbor, George Andrews. He passed away some 15 years ago at the age of 85 and left behind a place filled to the gills with all of his gear-nets, buoys, clam rakes, scallop dredges, ropes and more. These objects were not about leisure but about individual commerce and an elemental way of life. As eccentric as this man may have seemed to many people on the island, he was a true dory fisherman to the end.
It goes without saying that I was attracted to these objects--great textures, patterns, beautiful forms and colors, the patina of everyday use. As I began to photograph them, my eyes tuned in more and more to these weathered implements--engaging remnants of a fragile and vanishing dispensation. Wherever I went I would find these coastal odds and ends; even in my own shed were objects left behind by previous owners which I had paid little to no attention, had suddenly become of great interest to me and my present work. Amidst the endlessly streaming coverage of the BP oil spill disaster in the Gulf of Mexico along with the seemingly continual conversations and debate regarding over-fishing in Northeast waters—gave these objects I was photographing a more topical significance.
