New Dates coming for 2019!
All sustainability professionals need to be able to assess an organization. This requires knowing what to look for and having a solid suite of practices to recommend.
This course provides sustainability professionals with an understanding of how to assess an organization's progress on the path to sustainability, identify new opportunities and develop a plan for the next stage of the journey.
Week 1: Scoping the Assessment
Week 2: Internal Assessments (featuring ISSP's S-CORE™)
Week 3: Certifications (featuring Sustainable Business Certification)
Week 4: Reporting Results and Getting Action
Click here for more information about S-CORE™. Click here for more information about the Sustainable Business Certification.
The emphasis for this course is not on becoming a licensee to use any particular assessment. (After this class, you can choose to participate in the S-CORE licensing master class for that.) Instead, S-CORE and the associated text, The Business Guide to Sustainability, will help professionals understand what full sustainability would look like 'on the ground' and track progress toward it. This will help you translate sustainability into the language of common organizational functions (eg, purchasing, finance, marketing).
Hear Darcy discuss the upcoming course:
Darcy Hitchcock has published 10 books, including the award winning book, The Business Guide to Sustainability and the S-CORE™ assessment. She was president of AXIS Performance Advisors, a sustainability consulting firm, for over 23 years. She taught at Bainbridge Graduate Institute's Sustainable MBA for several years and has keynoted on the topic in places such as Doha, Qatar and Moscow, Russia. She is currently leading the Sustainability Alliance in Arizona (www.SustainabilityAllianceAZ.org), a coalition of non-profits, which has among other things, developed a fast, easy but powerful business certification.
This course is delivered online via four weekly 1.5 hour live webinars and includes a 24/7 online 'classroom' experience. The webinars are scheduled for Tuesdays, May 8, 15, 22, 29 at 10:00 am PDT-US. Check your timezone HERE. Recordings of all webinars will be available to course participants. Live attendance is recommended but not required.
COURSE BOOK (Recommended but not required)
Please allow yourself enough time to pre-order The Business Guide to Sustainability (be sure to get the Third Edition because it was a major re-write) by Darcy Hitchcock and Marsha Willard, 2015. The book will help you know what to look for in organizations as evidence of sustainability and also know what practices to recommend. The cost of this book is NOT included in the registration fee. The ebook version can be purchased via these hyperlinks Vital Source or via Amazon.

with a book. A series actually. HA! (And of course, I'm in love with my hubby.) But this post is about the books. :) Several years ago, I started reading the Stephanie Plum series by Janet Evanovich. I fell in love! I read them as fast as she was putting them out. I couldn't get enough! And then...there were no more. I got all the way up to 10 or 11 and she hadn't written anymore, so I read other books. I noticed she had come out with 12, 13, 14, and then 15. I was working, didn't have time, forgot or was reading something else, so I never got around to checking them out. Now, I'm catching up!! So far this month I've read 18 books. (not all by Janet Evanovich.)
Here is my book list for May: (listed by the day I finished reading the book)
8 May- "Daddy's Little Girl"- Mary Higgins Clark
8 May- "A Girl Named Sooner"- Suzanne Clauser
9 May- "One for the Money"- Janet Evanovich
9 May- "Two for the Dough"- Janet Evanovich
10 May- "Three to Get Deadly"- Janet Evanovich
18 May- "Four to Score"- Janet Evanovich
18 May- "High Five"- Janet Evanovich
19 May- "Hot Six"- Janet Evanovich
20 May- "Seven Up"- Janet Evanovich
20 May- "Hard Eight"- Janet Evanovich
21 May- "Lost & Found"- Jacqueline Sheehan
21 May- "To the Nines"- Janet Evanovich
22 May- "Ten Big Ones"- Janet Evanovich
23 May- "Eleven on Top"- Janet Evanovich
23 May- "Twelve Sharp"- Janet Evanovich
23 May- "Visions of Sugarplums"- Janet Evanovich
23 May- "Plum Lovin'"- Janet Evanovich
24 May- "Lean Mean Thirteen"- Janet Evanovich
I know..I know. I read a LOT! But..I do read really quickly. Especially if there's no one interrupting me. :P (I know I have to read a lot before Jeremy comes home, because then, I'll be spending most of my time with him!)
And although I have already read the series up to the tenth book, it has been a few years, so I re-read them to catch myself up. :) I really recommend this series. They're suspenseful, without being grotesque. And the characters are really lovable...in their own ways. ha ha. The other books I've read this month were good reads too.
Of course, you don't have to take my word for it.- LeVar Burton

Wow, girl! You DO love to read! I'm impressed. You should read Cold Tangerines and join our book chats in June. There's a link to buy it at our momtage site. And the author is going to be there for the final chat. For real, we would love to have you join us! I'm already done with that book, and it was really good. And yes, I too LOVED Reading Rainbow... and now that song will be stuck in my head ALL DAY LONG! "Butterflies in the sky...."

This thread has a concise explanation of RootGuard and BPDUGuard:
The BPDU guard feature is designed to allow network designers to keep the active network topology predictable. BPDU guard is used to protect the switched network from the problems that may be caused by the receipt of BPDUs on ports that should not be receiving them. The receipt of unexpected BPDUs may be accidental or may be part of an unauthorized attempt to add a switch to the network. BPDU guard is best deployed toward user-facing ports to prevent rogue switch network extensions by an attacker.
The root guard feature of Cisco switches is designed to provide a way to enforce the placement of root bridges in the network. Root guard limits the switch ports out of which the root bridge may be negotiated. If a root-guard-enabled port receives BPDUs that are superior to those that the current root bridge is sending, then that port is moved to a root-inconsistent state, which is effectively equal to an STP listening state, and no data traffic is forwarded across that port.

The Stuart Hall Foundation in collaboration with Black and Brown artists and activists are working on a dynamic and interactive online resource mapping past and present culturally diverse arts initiatives and cultural activism in Britain.
The Black Cultural Activism Map emerged from series of intergenerational conversations held over the past couple of years with the younger generations of artists, cultural practitioners and activists who have highlighted the need to set their own initiatives and activities within a historical context and to understand how they fit into and connect with earlier generations of culturally diverse artists and intellectuals. The historic research will result in an online living archive tracing the history and currency of diverse cultural activism throughout the UK over the past 50 years.
In addition to historical research, the Foundation commissioned three art collectives Skin Deep, Voices that Shake! and RECLAIM to explore the remembering and reviving of Black and Brown activists or moments of resistance through individuals, organisations or political interventions that have been lost, hidden, erased or forgotten, or are at the risk of being lost, hidden, erased or forgotten. Each commission, developed between March and August 2018, resulted in an artistic output in a form best suited to the existing practices of each collective.
The theme of these commissions is Rep the Road (inspired by poet and writer Sai Murray), meaning the representation of the personal political journeys of Black and Brown British resistance and a repairing of the roads and legacies of communities of colour in the UK. We asked each collective to explore some or all of the following questions:
The Black Cultural Activism Map showcased the commissioned artworks with a launch event on 13th October 2018, bringing together artists, activists, and cultural practitioners.
The digital platform will be unveiled in Spring 2019, with a second launch event hosted by the ICA.
* We call this the Black Cultural Activism Map to honour the legacies of political blackness from which we have grown. We wish to be inclusive of black, brown and diasporic peoples. We recognise that our work is part of an ongoing conversation.

Greek Marinas and Port information. Collection from 1yachtua.com. Mediterranean Cruising and Boating.
Mikonos, Delos and Rhinia
Recommended books:
|One of the most
cosmopolitan of all the Greek islands, Mykonos has an international
reputation and quite justifiably attracts a large number of tourists from
all over the world. Amongst them many intellectuals and well-known artists
prefer Mykonos for their vacation. Here the high mountains encountered in
most of the Cycladic islands give way to small rocky hills which combine
with beautiful beaches to make up the landscape of the island.
Delos is one of the most important
archaeological sites in Greece, and certainly the most important in the
Cyclades. Delos was a place of such importance that the surrounding
islands were known as the Cyclades, since it was thougth that they lay in
a circle round the island on which the god Apollo was born.

Grosvenor Britain & Ireland (Grosvenor) is excited to announce that Franck Namani, the leading Parisian-based specialist in cashmere and materials of unparalleled refinement, is to open its flagship and first UK store at 33 Davies Street; a landmark building and joint venture between Grosvenor and Stow Capital Partners.
29th November 2013
Grosvenor Britain & Ireland (Grosvenor) is excited to announce that Franck Namani, the leading Parisian-based specialist in cashmere and materials of unparalleled refinement, is to open its flagship and first UK store at 33 Davies Street; a landmark building and joint venture between Grosvenor and Stow Capital Partners.
Due to open June 2014, the arrival of Franck Namani illustrates the ongoing strength of North Mayfair as one of London's most sought after retail locations and in particular the streets connecting to Mount Street. Franck Namani will be joined by Roksanda Illincic and Christopher Kane on Mount Street in 2014, reflecting the increased demand from global brands for flagship locations on Grosvenor's London estate. Davies Street is also home to the eponymous Alfred Dunhill Club, Vivian Westwood, Udeshi and Domenico Vacca.
For Franck Namani the opening heralds the start of his expansion into the international market with stores opening in New York in 2015 and Tokyo following this, highlighting the unique offering desired on an global scale. 33 Davies Street will outwardly have the appearance of separate womenswear and menswear shops, linked together with by the lower ground floor which will feature a bar as well as Franck Namani's unique dressing room concept with one size per room.
Franck Namani, founder of Franck Namani, comments: "When deciding upon the location for our flagship store in London, we knew we wanted a destination famed for its fashion credentials and in the heart of traditional Mayfair. 33 Davies Street was the obvious answer, combining both tradition and some of the world's most renowned fashion brands into one sensational shopping destination."
Helen Franks, Head of Retail Leasing on Grosvenor's London estate comments: "33 Davies Street is a wonderful unit and we're delighted a brand of this calibre will be making it home. Davies Street has always been a desirable location for respected fashion brands and we're thrilled to increase the fashion offering with the arrival of Franck Namani in June 2014."
Julian Milne, Managing Director of Stow Securities comments: "Our objective is to deliver one of the highest quality retail and office developments in the West End. The letting to Franck Namani will underpin this aim, with its exclusive high quality operation, and complement our target office lettings to top-tier West End businesses. We are delighted that they have chosen our building for their London flagship, to join their existing successful stores in Paris and Geneva."
Located opposite Claridge's Hotel, 33 Davies Street is a new 28,856 sq ft office development, with 7,621 sq ft of retail space on the ground floor. Franck Namani will be taking the entirety of the retail space in the distinctive development, which offers tenants one of London's most prestigious addresses.
33 Davies Street is also testament to Grosvenor and Stow Capital Partner's investment in public realm and art. Three bronze portcullis gates, approximately 3.6m in height and designed by artist Wendy Ramshaw have been installed at the entrance of the building. Inspired by the scale and proportions of the entrances, the flowing lines and intersecting arcs are a reflection of the life and style of Mayfair. The gates also offer a practical use being lowered to pavement level at night time and raised during the day.

The Ministry of the Environment has posted changes to Ontario's hazardous waste regulation that would make the standards the toughest in the province's history.
"In September, I committed this government to develop tough new hazardous waste standards," said Environment Minister Tony Clement. "That's what these new rules would do. They will be a strong weapon we will use to control toxic waste. They will be compatible with U.S. regulations, and they will make our standards far tougher than anything we've had in the past."
Clement announced a six-point action plan to strengthen the way Ontario handles hazardous waste.
One of the actions he announced was to strengthen the regulation and harmonize it with U.S. rules.
The proposed changes to the regulation include:
- Adding a "A derived from" rule similar to that of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This rule states that any materials left after treatment are still listed as hazardous waste. This means that companies that treat wastes must still manage the treated material as hazardous waste.
- The change is in addition to Ontario's recently-implemented "mixture rule," which states that hazardous waste mixed with any other material is still hazardous waste.
- Implementing the next generation leaching procedure. This USEPA testing procedure predicts whether a waste is likely to leach contaminants into groundwater levels of concern.
- Updating Ontario's lists of hazardous waste to be compatible with the U.S. lists.
"I am determined to ensure that hazardous waste is handled safely and effectively in this province," said Clement.
The changes have been placed on the Environmental Bill of Rights electronic registry www.ene.gov.on.ca/envision/ebr/welcome.htm for a public comment period of 90 days.

There are only three things in the world that I hate, and one of them is this piece of news.
Even with a degree in politics (and philosophy, but the less said about that the better), I only feel comfortable taking a strong political stance when the question seems mind-numbingly obvious. Questions like: Should MPs get a pay rise? There's a head-scratcher; should MPs, who have consistently proven themselves to be untrustworthy and incompetent, have their pay raised above £70,000 during the most savage spending cuts we've ever seen? Wait, let me get my calculator and a pot of coffee, this one's going to take quite some FUCK OFF.
In the background of all this is of course the expenses scandal, from John Prescott using taxpayer's money to repair his toilet seat twice, to John Prescott spending £4,800 a year on food at public expense. As a result, the task of deciding how much MPs should be paid has been handed to the Independent Parliamentary Standards Authority, which means that our elected representatives can have their taxpayer-funded cake and eat it too; MPs can go to the press or that bastion of democratic debate Question Time, and announce that they abhor the prospect of a pay rise, while conceding that they have no power over the decision so would have no choice but to reluctantly accept the pay rise anyway. They can score electoral points with their rhetoric, while holding a giant novelty cheque obnoxiously behind their back. It's win-win.
It's a complete false dichotomy that our MPs are to either abuse a system of parliamentary expenses or have a pay rise. As is the idea that without increased pay, they'll have no choice but to take on other jobs and business interests. Here's a novel idea: Pay them the same as other public servants, don't let them have any other employment and don't let them fiddle expenses. You know, like a normal fucking job.
To be fair to MPs, they probably don't all sit on their arse all day. Unlike, oh I dunno, the Queen, who was recently given a 5% pay rise for doing fuck nothing and making that face. I don't think all MPs are crooks, and I'm sure some of them are genuinely there to make things better for people, such as... well I can't think of any now you put me on the spot. I do, however, think that they're disproportionately wealthy, that they're weird and creepy and that, most importantly, they should be working for us and not the other way round. And if they really need a second home closer to Westminster? Two words: Capsule hotel.

An Edwardsville man was charged Tuesday in Madison County Circuit Court with a felony charge of driving while license revoked, Madison County Sheriff Robert J. Hertz said in a press release.
Police identified the suspect as Richard Benjamin Dunnavant Jr., 43, of the 1300 block of Carribean Drive.
At about 10:30 a.m. Monday, June 23, a sheriff's deputy on routine patrol in the area of Illinois Route 140 and St. James Drive in rural Edwardsville observed Dunnavant operating a vehicle eastbound on Illinois 140. The deputy recognized Dunnavant from a prior police encounter and knew he possessed a revoked Illinois driver's license.
The deputy initiated a traffic stop with the vehicle Dunnavant was operating and based on his revoked driver's status Dunnavant was arrested.
Dunnavant's driver's license was revoked because of a 2007 out-of-state conviction for driving under the influence. Dunnavant subsequently was convicted on Nov. 17, 2009, for driving while license revoked, which qualified him for the enhanced felony offense.
Dunnavant was transported to the Madison County Jail, where he was held pending a formal review of facts by the Madison County State's Attorney's Office.
The felony warrant and information was signed by Judge James Hackett, who set bond at $15,000.

A new suburb in Sydney's north-west is finalising
planning agreements with the NSW State Government, with plans to build over 4,000 new homes in the area.
The Box Hill North master-planned development is located near Rouse Hill, and will be built around a huge 4 hectare man-made lake. The site will include a primary school, town centre, retail outlets, commercial businesses, sporting fields and parks.
Developers E.J Cooper & Son Pty Ltd submitted their plan, saying opportunity would assist in the delivery of the State Government's Draft Metropolitan Strategy for Sydney 2031. The possible 4,000 new dwellings would contribute to the 545,000 target by 2031 the Government outlined in their document.
The proposal entails bringing forward key infrastructure at no cost to the Government, with developers privately funding the community as well as contributing an additional $16 million towards future upgrades of Windsor Road.
Local MP Ray Williams spoke with the Rouse Hill Times saying he believed the development would be a great benefit to the area with home owners able to choose from a number of different packages.
"I think that's one of the great features of this development, there is something for everyone," Mr Williams said.
"When you get this sort of choice in the market it keeps downward pressure across the entire housing type.""The other great feature is that even if young families purchase a smaller town house or apartment, they will be situated around recreational open space which is needed for passive recreation, not to mention the four-hectare lake which provides water front views to some properties and close to the town centre and facilities," he said.
"It's a really well-planned urban development."

Welcome to My World, originally uploaded by Jutilda.
Website: Earmark Photography
Cat's Name: Rose
Human's Name: Judy
Length of Cohabitation: 12 years
How you came to live together: Rose was adopted at the Williamson County Humane Society in 1997 as a ktten. I first checked her out and then went back with my then 9 year old son. We had a favorite character in the Pinkerton series of books by James Marshall, and a particular orange tabby in A Rose for Pinkerton looked very much like her. He took one look and wanted to bring her home. And that was that.
What you love about your cat: Rose is very vocal and talks to me almost like a person. She is always a novelty to those who I let "speak" with her on the telephone. :~)
Favorite Animal Charity: We give to several charities and I am an avid member of the World Wildlife Federation. I sometimes sponsor cats and dogs through rescue organizations in our area as well. I have a chow/retriever mix, Tank (also featured prominently in my portfolio) who I adopted from Mix Breed Rescue, and he and Rose are quite the buddies. They nap and hang out together, unaware that their opposing species don't always have admiration for one another. Both he and Rose are quite calm and model often for me but usually in a candid situation. I love Rose's emerald green eyes and one black whisker.

text: Othello isn t a play about racism as much as it is a play about jealosy, conflicting values, and the power of suggestion. Some racism is displayed within the play, but that is simply a reflection of how most minorities were treated in the time period when the population in Europe was predominantly of white skin color. This racism was also only brought out by rage and anger in some of the characters of Othello, and was not displayed by hate. Jealosy and the power of suggestion also played a contributing role in the deaths of Othello and Desdemona, and the pre-meditated plot to kill Cassio. Iago s lies led Othello to believe his wife Desdemona had been cheating with Cassio, and Othello s jealosy led him to plot Cassio s murder, and kill his own wife. The conflicting values of Othello and Iago were a major cause of Iago s lies. Iago had valued a job that was not given to him, but rather to Othello. This led Iago to conspire a way to get revenge on Othello. Iago knew that Othello valued honesty in Desdemona, and he tried to make him think that she was just the opposite, unfaithful. The play Othello was very much about jealosy. Jealosy played a big role in the play, and was the motive for Iago to conjure up a plan to ruin Othello. Iago was resentful because of the fact the Othello had gotten the job he wanted, and because of this Iago seeks revenge on Othello by ruining his life and career. Iago cannot accept that Othello meant no harm to him, and will not rest until he thinks he is even with him. Iago lies to Othello and makes him believe that Othello s wife Desdemona has been unfaithful to him, and that she has been cheating with Cassio. Iago states his intentions best when he says: Till I am even'd with him, wife for wife, Or failing so, yet that I put the Moor At least into a jealousy so strong That judgment cannot cure (Shakespeare, Act II, Scene I, Lines 291-294) Othello at first does not believe this, but when Iago brings him alleged proof this consumes Othello with jealosy and anger. These emotions lead Othello to plot Cassio s murder and eventually kill his wife because of Iago s lies. The values of Iago and Othello were in a constant conflict during the play. Iago represented an evil force, because he used evil means to achieve his goals and what he valued. Othello and Desdemona represented a good force, because they valued good things and were victims of Iago s evil doings. Iago valued himself and the job that Othello got instead of him above all. Othello valued honesty, commitment, and dedication in Desdemona. Iago knew this and therefore used Othello s own values against him. He lied to Othello about Desdemona cheating with Cassio, and this was a conflict of values between Othello and Desdemona. Othello also showed how he valued honesty when Iago told him that he had been lying about everything. Othello stabbed Iago, because of his dishonesty and because Othello had killed his wife without reason. Conflicting values are present throughout the story, and are crucial for plot development and depth of the play. The power of suggestion was the major contributor in the tragic deaths of all the characters in Othello. Specifically, the lies told by Iago to Othello were the cause of Othello s disappointment, anger, and ultimately led Othello to plot the deaths of Cassio and Desdemona. Lies that were told by Iago to Othello about Desdemona s alleged unfaithfulness were directly influenced by Iago s yearning for revenge (because Othello had gotten the job he wanted), and his desire to succeed by destroying O

Crazy 2014
When I heard the sad news about flight MH17 I couldn't quite understand what was happening. It seemed like the worst parts of 2014 had come together in a way that nobody could have predicted. I tried to sum up the situation in this infographic. This mini project was in fact an excuse to practice some infographic making skills, which I had not used for a long time.
Dice simulator
This is another somewhat frivolous script I wrote when playing an RPG game where we did not have enough sets of dice. It simulates dice rolls with various modes.
Dr Who: White people dance
I had had an idea for a very long time, which was to animate a song using the canvas and a YouTube video. Someone sent a gif image of some Dr Who actors dancing badly, and I saw this as an opportunity to test out my idea in the simplest way possible. So I put the gif together with the YouTube song and button to play/stop the music and animation.
Eye of Argon acronym generator
This project was made to demonstrate a point. A student said that they doubted I could make a simple application in an afternoon, so within about an hour I had made this is. It takes a string from the user and makes a phrase using word from the Eye of Argon to make an initialisation.
Image morpher
*.gif images have been around for a long time, but this is something a bit different. It takes an array of images and changes between them randomly with random intervals of time.
This is another simple and frivolous project. A student showed me a page illustrated a table with three columns that could be used to make an insult. It looked liek it should be coded up, and I had 15 minutes to spare, so I did.
Moving very slowly!
One of my friends challenged me to write an app that play clips from the Strong Bad song "Moving very slowly!" Of course within an hour I had a working webpage that did just that. This was mostly a matter of refactoring the Advent Calendar with a few tweaks.

Hammock House - Africa Caribe
- Jan Fairley
- 21 July 2011
Classic original DJ-friendly Latin music of 70s and 80s plus remixes
Brooklyn DJ/producer Hammock House, aka Joaquín 'Joe' Claussell, wittily adds vital 21st-century underpinning to Latin classics created for Fania, the New York label responsible for the hottest, most pertinent Latin music of the 70s and 80s. Dusting off the back catalogue that fills every legitimate DJ's crates, disc one of Africa Caribe is an extended tribute while disc two remixes peerless pieces including Celia Cruz's hymn to Afro-Cuban drumming deity 'Changó' and Eddie Palmieri's 'Lucumí' for seamless dancefloor shifts. Apart from Jai Veda's soulful 'Undeniable Love', each piece tributes Afro-Cuban religion, a clear sign that the resistance musics that were slavery's only valid inheritance retain deep meaning today.

Okay, so you've found this little blog of mine, and now you're trying to work out what it's all about.
Don't worry. I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
I'm hoping this will be a record of how I made the switch from corporate desk jockey to full-time freelance writer. After nearly 20 years in IT it's time for me to stop dreaming of becoming a writer and start doing it. And I hope I can bring you with me on that journey. (If it doesn't work out I'll be able to look at it and say, "Ah, so that's where everything went pear-shaped".)
Of course that journey will involve a lot more than "wrote a piece, got it published. Wrote another piece, got it published". (Mind you, if it could be as simple as that I'd really appreciate it.) No doubt I'll be battling with ideas, with editors, and with my own confidence. I'll be writing about that too, because it's all part of the same journey—whether I like it or not.
And then there's the stuff that's completely unrelated to the journey—the random thoughts that run through my head from time to time. I'll be writing about those too, because it's a lot cheaper than therapy.
Well, that's what I hope will happen with this blog. If it doesn't, then I can at least take comfort in the fact it's getting me to sit down in front of the keyboard and write every day.

Book Notes - Steve Amick ("Nothing But a Smile")
In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published books.
Steve Amick's second novel, Nothing But a Smile, immerses the reader in the America of the 1940's. Amick's focus on the late years of World War II and the immediate postwar period is unique and refreshing.
Publishers Weekly wrote of the book:
"The backdrop is captivating in its detail, and bold in scope: Sal and Wink's story plays out against wartime struggles, the Chicago underworld of the '40s and '50s, HUAC and the Red Scare and the postwar migration of Americans from the cities to the suburbs. This divine love story is as much about Sal and Wink as it is about America in that era—a great story, well told."
In his own words, here is Steve Amick's Book Notes essay for his novel, Nothing but a Smile:
Nothing But a Smile takes place from 1944-1947, so the music that comes to mind is obviously framed by those parameters. The following will be chock-o-block with plot spoilers, but I've decided to subscribe to the opinion of a certain very charitable review of the novel in which it was compared to a burlesque strip show: that you may feel you know the outcome, but it doesn't make watching it all happen any less fun.
#1 "Paper Doll" – The Mills Brothers (1943)
The novel starts in June 1944. Wink Dutton, an injured ex-illustrator for Stars and Stripes and Yank, arrives in Chicago looking for civilian work. His drawing hand no longer functions properly. So, though his portfolio is fat, his prospects are thin. He's also been asked to look in on the wife of his buddy Chesty, a photographer back in the Pacific. Sal Chesterton, the wife, is holding down the fort at the family camera shop in the Loop. Wink swings by to pass along the well wishes of her husband and is invited to stay for dinner. As they do the dishes together after, she turns on the radio. This intimate little ballad was a colossal hit over the previous fall and winter, and Wink would have heard it endlessly while stuck in the hospital, recuperating. He's unaware he's humming along until she joins in, too. This is the closest they come to flirting at this early stage, but it's the spark of a friendship, at least. The lyrics about preferring to have a "paper doll" rather than someone "fickle" and untrustworthy are especially apt when it's revealed that Sal has been making inquiries about—and even taken a stab at—shooting naughty pictures of herself to make some extra income. She is not "fickle" in the least, being very steadfast to her husband, but she is a "doll" in the vernacular of the time and she is looking to put herself down on "paper," in the sense of pulp men's magazines.
The Mills Brothers had the easiest-going croon ever—envied by even Bing and Dino—and it sounds to me like Wink's stance at this point. He's glowing in Sal's company, but he's not yet overly-invested. It's a breezy, loose-limbed attitude, like the smoothly syncopated melody against the shuffle of guitar.
But the inner turmoil Wink will soon feel in regard to his pal's smart and pretty wife is foretold in this line: "I tell you boys it's tough to be alone and it's tough to love a doll that's not your own."
#2 "Am I Blue?" - Hoagy Carmichael and Lauren Bacall (1945)
At one point, Sal and her friend Reenie meet up with black marketeers to buy real nylons for their pinup photo shoots. The meet takes place in the front row of a new movie, To Have and Have Not.
If there are moments when my two lead characters, Wink and Sal, seem to slightly swap the expected positions of their gender—Sal being all business and take-charge, Wink seemingly chaste and cautious—that gender-role reversal can be heard echoed in this: Hoagy takes the higher part and Lauren Bacall is, hands-down, the manliest voice on the nightclub bandstand. You can practically hear the massive shoulder pads in her herringbone jacket.
#3 "How Little We Know" -- Lauren Bacall (1945)
Bacall goes on to sing, with all the husky bedroom languor of a junior Marlene Dietrich, this swaying serenade to serendipity. "Maybe it happens this way…", the lyrics suggest, and "Maybe you're meant to be mine…" It's a musical shoulder shrug to the potential of fate and chance. Another Hoagy tune, this one underscores the unexpected chemistry abrew not only between the two actors on the screen—(Bogie didn't know what hit him when he met his new leading lady and future mother of his children)—but also between Wink and Sal who don't seem to have a full grasp of what's simmering. The latter couple, at this point, have much further to go before recognizing that perhaps it does happen this way; that important things in life—like love—sometimes come from unexpected and seemingly-inauspicious turns of event.
(A curious triple-underscoring of this idea happens when you consider Hoagy's personal background: the songwriter was first a lawyer, now he's playing the piano and acting in a movie with Humphrey Bogart? Talk about the unforeseen turns life takes…! )
#4 "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" – The Ink Spots (1941)
The night of her wedding anniversary, celebrating it once again on her own, Sal gets a little drunk, goes into her room and repeatedly plays this ballad of single-minded purpose on her record player. An earlier hit back at the start of the war, the tempo is almost painfully slow, the delivery precise and unmistakable. The lyrics contain the phrase, "I've lost all ambition…" which could just as easily describe both Sal's depression about her husband Chesty serving in the Pacific and the frustration of the eavesdropping Wink, in his attempt to restore his art career. When Wink goes to her to check on her, Sal embarrasses herself in the doorway by unbuttoning his shirt front and pressing her teary face against his undershirt, wanting to smell "that man smell."
#5 "I'm Making Believe" – Ella Fitzgerald & The Inks Spots (1944)
The following night, Reenie and Wink are in bed and she confesses that Sal spilled the beans to her about getting drunk and morose and forcing her nose on him. Wink hears this Ella/Ink Spots collaboration drifting from a radio across the alley. Stylistically, it feels like nostalgia. Once again, the vocal delivery is plodding and formal; incredibly stiff-upper lipped and mannered. You can picture strangers politely dancing with each other for the first time, stepping deliberately and carefully and it mirrors the sort of casual sex Wink and Reenie are engaging in. It becomes clear from the things they both say and don't say in this whispered afterglow conversation, that this thing between Wink and Reenie is not substantial but more of a make-believe. He is not offering to be her serious boyfriend. And it underscores the act of make-believe that happened between Sal and Wink the night before, when she inhaled his scent in order to think of her husband.
#6 "Peace Brothers Peace (It's Truly Wonderful)" – Royal Rhythm Boys (1939)
An uncharacteristically straight-faced gospel-lite for Slam Stewart, the sometime duet partner of the irreverent Slim Gaillard, but it's this apparent sincerity that contrasts nicely with the more complex reactions, from both Sal and Wink, to the news of victory over Japan. Neither person enjoyed the war, of course, but its end raises complicated questions about how each will continue. Wink is not one of the many men dancing in the street, grabbing strange women and stealing kisses. As "truly wonderful" as the advent of peacetime may be, life will no longer be quite so simple in many real ways.
#7 "Laguna" – Slim Gaillard Quartet (1945)
It's nearly impossible to describe Slim Gaillard to the uninitiated. Suffice it to say that this track features that aspect of his diverse vocal style that might be called "laughing gas croon." With bassist Tiny "Bam" Brown, they improvise about the seagulls out in the bay: "floppity-flop!...Swan dive-o-roony!" This isn't just gleefully wacky, its accurate: like a punch drunk haiku, these rapid-fire snatches of intelligible speech paint a picture. You can see the ocean out there; the rocky coastline.
This is the sound of Chesty's view at the naval yard in San Francisco and feeling heady with finally being back in the States; even open to a little goofing around (unfortunately.) It's also the sound of Wink and Sal at the same place, after the accident, collecting Chesty's casket, though now the playfulness sounds deadly and foolish.
I originally considered exploring a scene in which Wink takes a side trip down to LA and catches Slim Gaillard at Billy Berg's or some other club—or at least debates the idea of doing so. (Slim was playing on the west coast at this time and this track was recorded there, possibly at a live club date.) Though I do believe in the idea of the scene—that the thought would occur, in "real life," to a character like Wink and that it had merit in terms of showing how he's found himself in a situation where he must sacrifice his own personal desires to do the noble thing and babysit the widow of a friend—(who is, herself, now Wink's friend, too)— ultimately, I decided not to write it because I wanted to keep the story very tight and focused and I didn't want to create an obvious "pet" cameo that might be seen as distracting or showy or self-indulgent. But I do feel that Wink, in "real life," either went to see Slim or read that he was playing out there and wanted to go see him play, but ultimately chose not to abandon Sal.
#8 "I'm Thru With Love" – Nat King Cole Trio (1945)
On the return train trip, they stop in Nebraska to bury Chesty. Sal contemplates her prospects as a young widow. Nat King Cole's smooth delivery, more than the literal message of the lyrics, suggests Sal's true assessment of her situation. In her more contemplative moments, staring out the train window on the way back to Chicago, she tells herself that the heart eventually mends, over time, and she is only twenty-five. On the other hand, she's only twenty-five: if it somehow didn't mend, the prospect of living with a "locked heart," as the song says, until she dies of old age, is chilling.
#9 "Travelin' Blues" – Slim Gaillard's Boogiereeners (1945)
Wink considers bugging out, now that he's going to essentially be a guy living down the hall from a widow. He feels torn between personal desires, noble obligations and fears that he should be moving on and never will. And it's all pretty much spelled out exactly, with Slim Gaillard's most slit-eyed, stoned-to-the-gills very mellllllowww drawl, in this spoken blues about considering leaving Chicago. After something about getting a ticket, he begins: "Chicago's all reet but I think I'm gonna cut on outta this town/ 'cause it's really bringin' me down…" The melancholic crawl continues, mapping out a theoretical itinerary, and ending, almost with a sigh, as he slips in, at the last second, "Everything is all right here… I think I'll stay here a while… Root!"
(If there seems to be a wealth of Slim here, it's because his hep humor and casual approach to inebriation suits Wink at this point in his life.)
#10 "Scotching with Soda" – Slim Gaillard Trio (1945)
When Wink's hero and former painting teacher, the great calendar artist Gil Elvgren, stops by the camera shop with his wife and Reenie in tow, Wink is too embarrassed to be seen in such reduced circumstances, shooting girlie photos, unable to produce "real" art, and so slips down into the cellar and ties one on with some of the first scotch available after the war. While waiting for the Elvgrens to leave, he ends up napping and nipping down there in the dark, and vividly imagines an alternate world in which things turned out differently and he became a respected colleague of the famous artist.
An easy, peppy, upbeat piano tune, with collegial joining-in on the choruses from Bam Brown and Zutty Singleton, this one sounds not unlike someone making the best of being stuck in a small room, pacing around in the shadows.
#11 "Stay a Little Longer" Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys (1945)
Another late night interlude in the hallway between their apartments prompts Wink's sudden train trip to St. Johns, Michigan, a rural area north of Lansing where his Uncle Lem raised him on his wheat farm. That night, out on the porch, this hoedown of a Texas swing classic—a smash in '45—would probably come on the radio. Pre-Clash, this song, in this context, sets up the timeless topic "should I stay or should I go?" Both his Uncle Lem—and some part of himself—is voting that he stay there on the farm. Part of Wink, though, is still thinking about that moment with Sal the night before, also thinking he should have lingered a little longer in that clutch in the hallway.
#12 "But She's My Buddy's Chick" - Nat King Cole Trio (1946)
As he finally faces his feelings for Sal, the normally easy-going Wink struggles with internal debate and rationalizations. Chesty may be gone, but still—Wink's just not that kind of a guy.
#13 "Shoo Fly Pie and Apple Pan Dowdy" -- Dinah Shore (1946)
Out of deference to the cake flour–related demise of Chesty, Sal and Wink eschew cake for pie at their wedding lunch.
At the bridge on this one, the lyrics demand: "Mama! When you bake/Mama! I don't want cake…"
This hip-swinging, infectious bit of nonsense tore up the charts that year, and it seems to speak, in a general sense, to the end of rationing and a return to those small delights that soldiers pined for for so long: the regional foods and secret family recipes. In a sense, the song says "the war is over—dig in!" The sentiment can be applied more metaphorically to Wink and Sal, as well. Enough time has passed. It's time to indulge in whatever "makes your eyes light up…"
Of all the overplayed chestnuts from that swing era, this one really still works. Part of the appeal is that, hey, that sexy voice purring along? That's Dinah Shore. Seriously. The fact that she's a real down-home, girl-next-door adds everything to the sizzle of "I never get enough of that wonderful stuff!"—just as the wholesomeness of Sal added to the hubba-hubba of her pinup shots. The thinly veiled innuendo of "Go to the oven and make some ever lovin'" recalls Sal's first successful self-shot series of pinups: the ones of cooking for "her man," posed in her kitchen right after that first meal she scraped together for Wink.
#14 "Sooner or Later" —Les Brown with Doris Day (1947)
Sooner or later things were bound to change, sooner or later they'd get in real trouble with the cops, sooner or later the idea of starting a family would arise, sooner or later someone would get "ideas" about her and things would go too far…
There's a hypnotic, slightly queasy-making churn to the horn parts that's a catchy hook, sure, but seems like a clue that something's also slightly off-kilter. Lyrically, on the surface, it is about two people finally coming together romantically—hooray!—but there's also a lot here about people coming around, hanging around and knock-knock-knocking on doors… Not so hooray.
#15 "Open the Door, Richard" – Louis Jordan (1947)
An unwelcome visitor interrupts a late night, very personal photo shoot of Wink's pregnant new wife.
A hit on the charts a month or two before this scene, the comic nuttiness of this jivey jumper plays as a nice contrast with the seriousness of the event, though the two share very similar plot points: in both the song and this part of the novel, someone has had too much to drink and is trying to bust in in a very dangerous manner. The percussive knocking, the yelled chant and the frantic exuberance all make for a creepily light underplaying of the real peril.
#16 "Hot House" – Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker (1945)
This live track starts out with laughter and perhaps a lack of inattention—then the sharp raps counting it off and the urgent, descending melodic lines pushing forward with all do haste. We're somewhere new now, feeling very big city and postwar and atomic age and at loose ends. The hip-swaying, cooing sounds of the Andrews Sisters and the honeyed ooze of Glenn Miller are nowhere to be seen here. Something new and huge and chaotic is happening.
This is the sound of Sal and Wink getting the hell out of Chicago; of driving through the night in a car borrowed from Reenie. This is the sound of not packing and not planning, just going.
#17 "I Want to Go Back to Michigan" – Billy Murray (1914)
Though the Andrews Sisters probably have the most "Forties" sounding version of this, theirs wasn't recorded till the following year, 1948, along with the version that really popularized this Irving Berlin chestnut, Judy Garland's track for the movie Easter Parade. Bob Sovey put out a creamy jazz sax version that year, as well. But I believe this ancient, scratchy Edison 78 of "the Denver Nightingale" would be the sort of hokum Wink's Uncle Lem might keep, in the parlor—something he might occasionally play on the old Victrola, just to chant along with its barky, declarative: "I-was-born-in-Michigan! And-I-wish-and-wish-again!"
Complete with barnyard sound effects, it would be the sort of thing that would gnaw away in Wink's head ("I want to go back to the farm/Far away from harm") and—after Sal had been cooped up there for more than a couple days—drone on in her head, as well. I suspect it would work against the proposal of moving permanently "back" to Michigan.
Laurel and Hardy also recorded a 78 that would have existed at this time and it's fairly close to the cornball recitation of Billy Murray. Both versions are nostalgic-sounding in a way that underscores the chronological notion of "wanting to go back." Both Sal and Wink might well wish they could go back to an earlier, safer time, when they weren't being harassed by thugs and government men and things were so much simpler.
#18 Five minutes of silence.
When Sal first sets eyes on Ann Arbor, Wink takes her around on a tour of downtown. They visit several real campus-area spots that no longer exist today, including a famous little eatery called Red's Rite Spot that's been gone for forty years. My mom used to tell me about hanging out there as a coed; that they had a jukebox that featured, for a nickel, five minutes of silence, for anyone trying to study, or as in this case, for young couples trying to have an important, life-altering conversation.
#19 "At Sundown" — Jerry Murad's Harmonicats (1947)
Sal realizes they might be stuck living on the farm. With its twangy pedal steel, its flatulent Green Acres-style buzzy harp for bass and its extremely whitebread chromatic harmonica playing the zingy carefree melody like a hayseed Toots Thielemans, this instrumental is the perfect tune with which to bounce along on a tractor seat—or sit there on the porch, pregnant, watching your husband do so, with yet another sun going down and panic setting in about what's next.
#20 "Ann Arbor Days" – University of Michigan Men's Glee Club
Lyrically, the song is sheer boosterism: "Worldly cares were far away/All friendships were strong/And life a sweet song/In those wonderful Ann Arbor Days." But the angelic choral harmonies belie the darker reality Wink and Sal face when they try to settle down in one of the town's choicer picket fence neighborhoods and find their recent past has reached them even there. It takes on a certain stuffy, funereal sound, especially when placed against the backdrop of Sal and Wink being turned away from a home they aren't allowed to buy.
#21 "Twilight Time" – The Three Suns (1947)
In the final chapter, Sal and Wink find a place to live, though it's not their first choice. As they review construction of the new subdivision on the barren, frontier side of Ann Arbor, a very pregnant Sal imagines what life will be like here, with future children and trees grown in and a staid, slightly-watered down version of her former life. This easy-listening 1947 instrumental remake of the mid-war hit gently seeps along with accordion, theater pipe organ, and all things overly nice and prettified. Lilting, safe and undeniably wistful, the sound hints at the soporific cocktail music soon to come in post-war suburban American neighborhoods like this.

Organizing in small spaces can be an ordeal. Thankfully, there are simple and available solutions to that problem and it does involve poly bags.
Here are some custom poly bag items that can be sold to your clients.
Off the Wall
Rutan Poly Industries, Inc. says that a hanging poly bag is perfect for finding those small items that keep getting mixed up. Create easy-to-access poly seed bags for garden or a jeweler divider that organizes small items right behind the bedroom door. Customize them with hooks easy hanging. You can also use suction cups for clients who don't want to drill holes into their walls.
From the Ceiling
Poly bags are also quite sturdy and can be attached from above. Get a bag designed like a lantern with three or more sides. They can be used for hanging plants like ferns, Pothos, or Bromeliads. These models can also be used to store more other personal effects like notebooks, art supplies and medicine bottles. You can choose to customize sizes and even use custom printed or labeled poly bags for better organization options.
Beside the Table
Small space living means using as much table surface freely. You can have a poly bag custom made to be similar to your wall-attached ones but have pouches deep enough for longer items like utensils, condiments, and magazines. It's not just at the dinner table either, since it can also be use for the kitchen table or the workshop area.
In the Bag
Big canvas bags can become options for portable organizer. This is perfect for travelers that need a little more organization in their lives. A stitched poly bag modeled to fit inside any standard travelling bag works wonders with clutter. Or maybe a small poly pouch that can be hung inside backpacks so there's space for spare change, keys and other small items.
With the use of small spaces in unique ways, even compact homes can still hold bigger, more expansive items and furnishings provided you have the right storage area. Keep this in mind when you sell your poly bag items to your customers.

When they say "deep stack" they are not kidding!
I'm playing in a deepstack tournament on Pokerstars: 5000 in starting chips, THIRTY MINUTE blind levels, and a very gradual blind structure. We've been playing for four and a half hours now, and the blinds are only 200/400 with a 50 ante! The original field of 81 has been reduced to 18. Nine will be paid. This type of tournament should play to my strengths.
I'm currently third in chips. Please wish me luck!
Update: Finished 7th. Got two-outered for most of my chips (99 v. 22) and then 6-outered on the river for the rest of them (99 v. KQ). Apparently nines are not particularly lucky for me. Oh well! Played my ass off for six+ hours, and went deep. Made some money. Overall, it doesn't suck. Thanks for the friendly railing, Joxum! Off to bed now...

Well, Facebook just made a Page admins job more difficult, as if we need to spend more time managing our Pages. I noticed a few days ago that I was starting to see a lot more comments being hidden as spam on my Page, as well as a few others I'm an admin for, but none of the comments were spam and often were posted by people who comment on the Page frequently. At first I thought it was a glitch but yesterday I ran a few experiments and posted the results on my Page and found that everyone was having the same thing happen on their Pages.
Basically, it comes down to this. Facebook is once again doing something they think is helpful when in reality, it's not. I'm sure there are Pages out there that get quite a bit of comment spam but I doubt it's something a majority of Pages suffer from. So, if once in a while someone posts some spam in a comment I can simply hide the comment and if they do it more than once I can ban them. Simple, right? Well, Facebook apparently doesn't think that's simple enough so they've decided to start helping us. That would be okay with me as long as they were just hiding comments that contain more than one link or keywords that obviously seem to indicate that the subject might be spam, but, unfortunately, Facebook has taken that a step too far and now they're hiding comments as spam if they contain tags for Pages or links to other Pages or posts on other Pages.
I often refer to other Pages or posts on other Pages to support my point or to give credit to a source when I comment and the easy way to do that is to either tag the Page or post a link to a post on a Page. Mari Smith likes to have what she calls Fan Page Fridays and encourages her fans to tag their Pages or link to them in the comments so they can get some exposure and more fans. Now, Facebook is automatically hiding those comments as spam and until the Page admin unhides them, the only people who will see them are the people who posted them and their friends. What if the person who needs to unhide the comment isn't actively following the comments for that post? That means that it may be several minutes to hours before the comment will become visible to others, if ever. And the fact that the person who posted the comment does see it themselves will lead to many people feeling their comment is being ignored when in reality it's just not being seen.
I assume Facebook decided to do this to cut down on spam, which it will probably do, but unless a Page admin is vigilante it's also going to cut down on the conversation and potentially lead to people no longer commenting because they think they're being ignored.
How will you know when a comment has been hidden as spam? You'll see a row of three dots where a comment should be.
Click on those dots and the comment will expand but remain greyed out, giving you the chance to read it and decide whether you want to unhide it or leave it hidden, or delete it. As you can see in the screenshot below, comments that include a tag for a Page or a link to a Page or a link to a post from a Page will be hidden as spam whereas a comment with a tagged friend or a link to a URL that is not on Facebook won't be.
One thing that strikes me funny about this is that even though Facebook wants to keep people on Facebook and doesn't like it when we post links that lead offsite, they are hiding comments with links within Facebook as spam but not hiding comments with links that lead people away from Facebook.
