Manchester City and Liverpool remain the teams to beat but Chelsea are closing the gap, manager Maurizio Sarri said after his side extended their unbeaten start to the season to 11 games with a 3-1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday.
The astute Italian insists his side still have some way to go but Chelsea's improvement under the master tactician this season has been nothing short of startling.
The Blues laboured to fifth-place and finished 30 points behind champions City last season; playing underwhelming football throughout a campaign the was overshadowed by reports of rift between Chelsea players and former manager Antonio Conte.
But since arriving from Napoli in July, Sarri has lifted the mood at Stamford Bridge and transformed a Chelsea side into one of the most potent attacking sides in Europe.
After almost one third of the season, they trail leaders City by only two points.
Along with City and third-placed Liverpool, Chelsea remain unbeaten after 11 games with Sarri equalling the longest unbeaten start by a new Premier League manager -- set by Nottingham Forest's Frank Clark in 1994.
"Manchester City and Liverpool are at the moment a step ahead of us," Sarri told Sky Sports even though Chelsea are ahead of Jurgen Klopp's side on goal difference.
"When I arrived the gap from last season was 30 points with City. It is difficult to think you can recover this gap in one season, or in six months. We need to improve more because we are doing well."
Such has been Chelsea's form this season, they were expected to make light work of a Crystal Palace side who had won just twice in their opening 10 fixtures.
However, midway through the second half a spirited Palace side were holding the Blues, but a brace of goals from the improving Alvaro Morata and an impressive cameo from returning talisman Eden Hazard saw them canter home.
"We were a little bit in trouble so we needed some quality and personality," Sarri continued.
"We were lucky because we had Eden on the bench. He was able to immediately change the match.
"I am really very happy for Alvaro. He improved in the last month in confidence and personality. He improved also from a tactical and technical point of view. He plays with more continuity from the team.
"He has great potential physically and technically. He can improve more. Potentially he can be (a top striker at a top club)."
Sarri: Chelsea improving but both City and Liverpool a step ahead
Manchester City and Liverpool remain the teams to beat but Chelsea are closing the gap, manager Maurizio Sarri said after his side extended their unbeaten start to the season to 11 games with a 3-1 win against Crystal Palace on Sunday.

GAYLORD - If you had to guess who would be the 2004 champion of the Mark Mellon Memorial Triathlon before Saturday's race began, you would have chosen either Eric Fernando of Franklin, Joseph Dieghan of Beverly Hills, defending champion Pete Bolen of Ypsilanti or Adriano Rosa of Caledonia. Those four were the top names going into the competition, and those four proved why they are so highly regarded in the grueling triathlon circuit.
This year, it was Fernando's turn to shine. The 36-year-old race veteran used the 31-mile bike portion of the event to gain enough of a lead on the hard-pushing Dieghan to prevail in the end. Fernando, who had two top- three finishes to his credit in past years here, crossed the finish line in 2 hourse, 5 minutes and 53 seconds. Dieghan, a two-time former Mellon champion, came in 29 seconds later.
Bolen, a Gaylord native and former GHS standout in track and cross country, was third overall (2:08:33) and Rosa was fourth (2:12:20) on a day when the weather was ideally suited to the rugged event.

Frequently Asked Question
(for the following user email accounts/groups ONLY -- Geography Staff <email@example.com>; Dan Montello <email@example.com>; Joe McFadden <firstname.lastname@example.com>; Jennifer King <email@example.com>; Krzysztof Janowicz <email@example.com>)
Stage III in the "on-boarding" process of migrating Geography to the UCSB Connect service, is the determination of the migration of the "functional" email accounts. These are accounts which collect emails based on a certain task, and either managed by a person separate from their individual email address, or have some semi-automated role (e.g., a Sustainability survey; the department's IT ticket request account; etc.).
These functional email accounts will be migrated with the department's code as a prefix, followed by a dash symbol ( "geog-") as the account name. These geog-<functional_name>@ucsb.edu account names will be required as the authentication to access that functional account's email in Connect. The existing account addresses ( <functional_name>@geog.ucsb.edu> )will be converted to aliases that point to this functional stored-email account. Outgoing emails from this account can be set up to send out response emails with the existing address (i.e., <functional_name>@geog.ucsb.edu) , or optionally with the new geog-<functional_name>@ucsb.edu address.
If you are someone designated as the manager of one or more of these accounts, please respond back with any changes you may have made to the initial password that was given to you, if applicable. If the IT staff manages this for you, or you have made no changes to the initial password, do still reply back indicating whether or not the account is still worth maintaining, OR if it can simply be converted to a forwarding alias to your individual email account/alias instead of continuing to be a stored-email account on its own:

Nigel Williams
Nigel presents the Jazz FM's weekday afternoon show 3-6pm and can be heard nationally on Freeserve, DAB and www.jazzfm.com. For Nigel Williams, music has always played a major part in his life. As a child he displayed a talent to play any instrument he was given. " I think I've always distinctively known that Jazz is the highest form of creativity in music. I'm in awe of the greats and their level of virtuosity."
Nigel is a freelance presenter for London's Smooth Radio 102.2, BBC London 94.9's overnight show, Magic 105.4 and more recently presented the BBC Surrey breakfast show for 6 months.
Nigel's first presenter job in London was at the launch of London's Heart 106.2, His late show became Heart's first market leading show. Over time, Late Night Love Songs evolved from a classic romantic music affair into a chill-out zone designed for stressed out Londoners. Late Night Love Songs defining feature was Love Letters, true-life relationship stories sent in by listeners. This proved so popular that Nigel published a book based on the stories. Nigel took a closer look at sex & relationships when he teamed up with Dr Pam Spurr to present Heart 2 Heart. This three-year partnership provided Heart 106.2 with a Sony Award and Londoners plenty to talk about!
Nigel presented The Food Show on Classic Gold on Sundays 2-4pm. Nigel was joined by Michael Barry and Jilly Goolden to bring listeners new recipes, wine advice and health tips. For further information please go to www.foodradio.com. However, if you are a Londoner, you are more than likely to be familiar with Nigel's smooth sounding voice after having previously presented for eight years 'Late Night Love Songs' for London's Heart 106.2! 'Late Night love Songs' featured Nigel's adaptations of listener's relationship experiences in 'Love Letters'. Nigel published a book of some of the best stories. The show also included Heart to Heart, Sony award-winning phone-in show for listeners with sexual and emotional problems anchored by Nigel with an expert psychologist. This won a Sony Award Bronze for best interactive show beating Jimmy Young and Sarah Cox.
Nigel lives in Amersham and is married with two children. In his spare time he competes in Triathlon and is a keen cook. His ambition is to combine his broadcasting & cooking skills and to own a successful restaurant.

Hello, everyone!
I love the start of a new school year. Love, love, love.
If you're wondering what we're up to, check Student Source — the site went through a makeover this summer and the students and I are having fun discovering some old favorites and lots of new stuff, too. Start with "Type" and go to the keyboarding games.
If you're new here, you can also check all of last year's entries, starting with September, 2013, and look at all the links and lesson plans, because that's where I'm going. I love to re-do lesson plans, build onto them and go, go, go. It's like this picture, see? You think, Argh, that is impossible, that mountain, this is never going to work! Then you're halfway there, all the way there, halfway back down, looking up at it and thinking, That wasn't so bad. That is life, baby!
Have a great week.
– Mrs. R

Is it really all about choice?
Katie Osgood refers obliquely here to the famous John Dewey quote that what the best and wisest parent wants for his children is what we should want for all children:
"Here is the fundamental question: If low-income parents were offered fully-funded neighborhood schools with all kinds of "choice" offered within the schools like arts, music, sports, technology, supplemental services, libraries, world language, special education services, small classes, experienced/stable staff with low-turnover, etc (like what kids in Winnetka are offered)-would they EVER choose the charter school with inexperienced teachers, harsh discipline, long "rigorous" school days with little access to music/art, prescriptive curriculum, non-unionized/exploited and overworked staff–>high turnover? If the answer is "no" then what we need is equity, equal access to quality learning environments, and not "choice".
"As an aside, parents in Chicago came out by the thousands to beg, plead, yell, and protest to keep their underfunded neighborhoods schools open…

How did it all begin?
In 2014 European Manager from Up with People (UWP), Gert Jan Orie, made a suggestion to Estonian UWP alumnus Argo Saul to start a project to enable UWP to return to Estonia. At that time UWP had not been to Estonia for 16 years already. In 1999 the group performed a show in "Tallinna Linnahall" for 4000 people, did community work in SOS Lasteküla and visited several schools in Tallinn. During the following years both UWP and the Estonian community have come a long way.
What is Up with People?
UWP is an international youth organization that offers young people between the ages of 17 and 29 an extraordinary opportunity to succeed through intercultural communication, community service projects and a professional musical show. The organization has over 22 000 alumni worldwide.
Every year a cast of around 100 students from about 20 countries, travels for half a year on a predetermined route (usually the USA, Canada, Europe but also Asia). In every community the cast spends approximately one week – staying in host families, participating in local community projects, getting involved in the community and performing an energetic and contemporary musical family show.
UWP's student program broadens the horizons of young people, gives them a wider understanding of the world around them, a knowledge of different cultures, lots of new friends all over the world and connections and contacts for their future careers. The exceptional program helps young people to develop their social abilities and leadership qualities.
All of this is worth introducing to young people in Estonia and is a great choice for those looking for ways of fostering international cooperation, whilst giving and developing great career opportunities and intercultural contacts.
UWP returned to Estonia!
In November 2016 the cast of UWP was brought to Tallinn by Hea Tahte Koda (Chamber of Goodwill), that was established by UWP Estonian alumni consisting of only 20 people. The result of Estonian alumni's 18 months' work was a memorable and exciting week for the students of the UWP cast, the Estonian alumni as well as the Estonian people.
65 Estonia families brought UWP to their homes
One of the most important roles in the UWP student program is played by the host families. They are families that in every community visited, open their doors to young cast members offering them a home and real local cultural experiences. Since 1965 over 800 000 families from 72 countries of the world have hosted students of UWP!
Now the families of Estonia had an exceptional opportunity to open their homes to an enthusiastic foreign youngsters who shared their culture and experience but most of all learned about life in Estonia. Every UWP alumni can tell tens of stories of families that have become close to them and that they still have strong contact with even after the year with the program. This is how everlasting international friendships are born.
The cast of UWP was in Tallinn from November 28 to December 6, 2016.
During that week those 120 young people from 20 different countries shared their life and experiences with their host families, enjoyed the sites of Tallinn, did community service and voluntary work, and performed at Nordea Concert Hall with a musical show full of energy.
In Estonia the youngsters visited five schools: Viimsi High School, Tallinn Pae Gymnasium, Tallinn Läänemere Gymnasium, Tallinn Laagna Gymnasium and Tallinn Kuristiku Gymnasium, where they executed special program with local students. Program contained discussing and taking a stand on the actual issues of society instigating local students to think along and express their opinions.
The unique professionally produced show "The Journey" brought on stage of Nordea Concert Hall the talents and the energy of UWP students on December 3rd, 2016. The two hour family show contained both original and pop music and the dynamic blend of its pithful beautiful songs, burbly choreography and colorful costumes offered unforgettable experience!
At the same time as the UWP cast visited Estonia an UWP alumni reunion Triangle Alumni Date (TAD) took place as well with participants from 9 different countries..

Labor rights group supports resumption of peace talks
The Center for Trade Union and Human Rights welcomes and supports the resumption of the peace talks between the Government of the Philippines and the National Democratic Front of the Philippines (GPH-NDFP) saying it can "potentially address the root causes of armed conflict, reduce human rights violations and pave the way for significant socio-economic reforms."
"The resumption of formal peace talks does not only concern combatants and armed groups such as the AFP and the NPA. It concerns everyone particularly the poor and marginalized who had been battered by decades of oppression, landlessness, unemployment, the lack of accountability amidst the growing wealth of the already wealthy. Yet when the people resist, they are called insurgents, harassed and killed by counter-insurgency operations to protect the governments that has sent people to destitution," explained Daisy Arago, CTUHR Executive Director.
"It is difficult to have peace, when millions go to sleep hungry and wakes up unsure if they still have jobs to return to, or pass the day alive and healthy," Arago added.
CTUHR also commends the incoming Duterte administration, which in an unprecedented move, initiated the process even before formally taking office. "We also welcome with high regard Duterte's commitment to free all political prisoners as a sign of confidence building in the peace negotiations. We are looking forward to their release soon especially as many of them have been in detention for many years already," Arago said.
As the next peace talks agenda concerns the comprehensive agreement on socio-economic reforms (CASER), CTUHR is hopeful the talks will paves the way for genuine land reform, creation of national industries that can help generate jobs and uplift the workers "especially if the talks will result in an agreement to end exploitative policies and practices of contractualization, low wages and pervasive anti-union discrimination."
Last week, incoming Secretary Jesus Dureza, chief peace negotiator of the GPH panel met with the NDFP for preliminary talks. The two groups signed a joint statement and are looking forward to resume formal talks by third week of July.
CTUHR is a member of Pilgrims of Peace, an ecumenical and people's network that advocates for the resumption of peace talks. Last June 17, 2016, Pilgrims for Peace organized a forum in response to the positive indications that peace talks will resume under the Duterte presidency.
In the said forum, it was noted that the peace talks have been stalled in the BS Aquino and Arroyo administrations mainly due to the government's refusal to acknowledge past agreements and maligning of the CPP-NPA-NDF as terrorist groups. "By doing so, the governments of both BS Aquino and Gloria Arroyo also refused to acknowledge that the root causes of armed resistance are landlessness, poverty, inequality and injustice," Arago averred.
"Instead of pursuing the peace talks, the two administrations of Arroyo and Aquino have targeted through its counter insurgency program, Oplan Bantay Laya and Oplan Bayanihan, civilian and legal organizations as so-called fronts of the communist armed rebels. This has caused hundreds of cases of human rights atrocities like extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearance, filing of false charges, detention and militarization in communities," Arago further explained.
In supporting the incoming Duterte government's desire to resolve the origin of the conflict and bring peace to this divided country, CTUHR enjoins particularly the workers and human rights advocates "to play an active role, in monitoring and supporting every process so that the people will also embrace the initiative as one of its own."

As summer closed, we took a family vacation to Oregon. In addition to lingering in Powell's Books, eating from food trucks, and drinking local brews and Stumptown Coffee during several days in Portland, we borrowed a friend's car for excursions to Cannon Beach and the Columbia River Gorge. As part of our family goal to someday visit all 50 states, we made sure to cross into Washington. We grabbed that extra state with a dramatic pedestrian crossing over the Bridge of the Gods, which serves as the Columbia River crossing on the Pacific Crest Trail.
After a restful and restorative trip, I returned to work after Labor Day, as news of the Eagle Creek Fire along the Oregon/Washington border brought the reality of Western wildfires to a personal level. With visions of our triumphal Columbia River crossing still fresh, it was harrowing to learn of the breadth and rapid spread of the Eagle Creek Fire, which allegedly was started with a discarded firework. Careless fireworks are always a risk, but in the tinder box of the exceedingly dry Pacific Northwest forests this summer, this act of carelessness devastated over 50,000 acres.

Here Is What's New In Fedora 28
For those who don't know about this Linux distro, Fedora is one of those Linux distributions that comes released with cutting-edge software rather than staying on the same boat with other distributions that prefers stability. Fedora comes in three flavors: Workstation, Server, and Atomic. I'll be reviewing Fedora Workstation; used by many developers and users as their general purpose computing platform.
Read on below to learn and discover what's new in Fedora 28.
Fedora 28 Installation
As usual, installation is simple and straightforward. Not much configuration to accomplish apart from setting keyboard layouts, locale, and date-time zone. If you are trying out Fedora for the first time, you might be surprised it's easy to install, though slightly different from the way how Ubuntu (and its derivatives) installation works.
After installing Fedora (and then successfully rebooting) you'll be taken through another setup to create user account and password.
If you are not comfortable with partitioning and installing new operating systems on your hard drive, I recommend trying Fedora on VirtualBox or GNOME-Boxes. It comes with guest tools pre-installed so you get seamless integration with your host operating system i.e., guest window resizing and folder sharing.
Desktop Environment
Fedora 28 comes with GNOME as its default desktop environment. Moreover, it boasts new and vanilla GNOME v3.28. However, if you dislike GNOME and prefers some other desktop environment (like KDE, Cinnamon, XFCE, etc) there are Fedora spins too. You can get them here.
If in case you don't know what GNOME is... GNOME is a collection of software that gives the Graphical User Interface (GUI) to the end users. Unlike most other desktop environments which imitate the look and feel of Microsoft Windows and OS X, GNOME is very much unique with design goal on "focus" while at the same time provides a familiar user interface for new users.
Let's review some of the common stuff concerning the Graphical User Interface and apps.
To change the desktop background/wallpaper, right click and select Change Background. However, after installing Fedora 28 on my HP notebook, there were only two wallpapers available to customize my desktop.
I rectified that by installing supplemental wallpapers by executing the below command on a terminal program:
sudo dnf install f28-backgrounds-extras-gnome
Fedora 28 doesn't provide a lot out-of-the-box, but below are some of the commonly used apps that come pre-installed on it:
Nautilus has been renovated too, by adding Starred category along with the likes of Documents, Pictures, Music, etc. Simply right-click any file and select Star so you can easily access them later.
Moreover, power users might notice that there is no "Open in Terminal" option (on right-clicking) from the list of context menus. It's safe to note that GNOME is gearing towards more friendly UX (user experience) through GUIs.
Now toggling windows maximization state is more cool with animation! Calculator app can also be maximized which was not possible on earlier versions of GNOME. Unfortunately, Fedora doesn't come pre-installed with GNOME-tweak tool, so customizing the window with themes is disabled (or discouraged). Still yet, keeping the look consistent is good for environments that deploy training to personnel or students.
System Monitor look is also updated with gradient effect. Moreover, on activities overview the workspace switcher is scaled slightly smaller than earlier GNOME versions.
GNOME software
GNOME software comes with another cool update too, the ability to integrate third-party software repositories. So now one doesn't have to browse the internet to find a solution on how to get their graphics card working or accessing official website to download their favorite proprietary software. With third-party software repositories enabled, you can download those popular proprietary apps like Google Chrome, Steam, PyCharm, etc.
Battery savvy
Fedora 28 saves more charge on battery-powered devices like laptop by enabling hardware power-saving features by default. The details are explained on Fedora magazine website. You can learn more about this here.
Useful resources
If you are entirely new to Fedora, there is a life-saver icon on the dash (or access it by clicking Activities and typing "help"). Launch the app and click the link "Getting Started with GNOME". It's useful and will help you get comfortable with the desktop environment. Moreover, launching Firefox by default loads the page describing new updates to Fedora and how to keep your computer secure too. Be sure to check them up.
And lastly Bugs and Updates
Latest software invites bugs and this is unavoidable when innovation is considered over stability! Fedora users most likely will face them at any point very soon (as soon as their computer is booted up). Just make sure you update your computer regularly. Another interesting thing to note is the rapid updates software patches are released, unlike other distribution that remain up-to-date for over three days or a week. Fedora is constantly updated.
Download Fedora
That's it, folks. Hope you've enjoyed reading this content and found it useful. It's noticeable that Linux is getting more and more GUI savvy, and Fedora is in the lead. So what's next? Are you excited about trying Fedora out or wiping your computer completely clean and starting over? :P The latter part, I'm just kidding and in fact don't do that. Something cool I missed out mentioning in this article? Please let me know in the comment section below.

Cameroon's President Paul Biya has endorsed the Beijing Declaration and FOCAC (Forum for China Africa Cooperation) Action Plan, calling the FOCAC summit an "important platform for dialogue and an effective mechanism for cooperation between China and African countries, based on solidarity and mutual respect".
"The President of the Republic, His Excellency Paul Biya has endorsed the Beijing Declaration and a three-year action plan adopted at the end of the third summit of Heads of State and Government of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC)," the President announced on his official website.
"H.E. Paul Biya also welcomed the fact that at the multilateral level, Africa and China have a broad convergence of views on regional and international affairs, peaceful resolution of conflicts, non-interference in internal affairs and respect for the territorial integrity of States" he statement added.
"Upholding such principles remains a contributory factor to international peace and security".
Chinese and African leaders adopted a declaration and an Action plan on Tuesday September 4 for the 2018 Beijing Summit of the Forum on China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC) in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing, according to Chinese state media, Xinhua.
The declaration titled "Toward an Even Stronger China-Africa Community with a Shared Future and the FOCAC Beijing Action Plan (2019-2021) were adopted at the two-phase round-table meeting, chaired respectively by Chinese President Xi Jinping and President Cyril Ramaphosa of South Africa, the co-chair of the forum".
The Chinese government has promised to make China-Africa cooperation a win-win for both sides. President Xi said, "the leaders have unanimously decided to build a China-Africa community with a shared future that assumes joint responsibility, pursues win-win cooperation, delivers happiness for all, enjoys cultural prosperity, ensures common security, and promotes harmony between man and nature".
On Monday 3 September 2018, forty-six African heads of states gathered in the refreshing breeze and picturesque autumn scenery of Beijing, the People's Republic of China (PRC) along with the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, for the opening of the seventh Ministerial Forum for China-Africa Cooperation (FOCAC).
In his official address, Xi Jinping told his African guests that in the next three years (2019-2021), China would provide US$60 billion to 53 African countries as grants, interest free loans and concessional loans, credits lines, and development financing across health, manufacturing, education, mining, and energy sectors.
China-Africa relations have come under heavy criticism over the past decades, as China's debts on African states have raised concerns over a debt crisis reminiscent of the late 1990s. Chinese officials have dismissed some of these worries as western interference in China-Africa affairs.

My beloved husband will confirm, I read. Voraciously. Like, nearly everything I can get my hands on, though I do have preferences! This began, I believe, as a child seeking a means of escape. Or maybe it was because I've always been an inveterate info junkie. Or both? Who knows. Anyway. Why is this important?
It's important because something I read recently made me start really thinking. The main character in this story, a middle-aged man, was reflecting on how quickly he healed, when he was younger. How much easier so many things were. His reflections led down the path of how younger men saw him and assumed he'd "let" himself get old.
Wow, I thought. Just … wow. I mean, that stopped me, right there. How many of us do, in reality, look at ourselves and others like that? I certainly look at myself that way. I've hated my body forever, but it's been worse the last several years because I "let" myself get fat. Obviously, I had the means to control that, right? Well, maybe not, actually, but I'll get to that. Let's get back to the self-castigation game. I let myself become fat because I just don't care. I don't care about my health, right? I don't care about my appearance. I don't care what others think of me (ok, maybe that one's true). I don't care about so many things, which must have been what led to my getting fat.
Now, here's the real story. Up until 1999, I was very active. I loved hiking, I loved bicycling, I ran Cross Country in high school (and still have dreams of just running, free, through the trees, as I did when I was much younger). I swam, I walked, I danced, I practiced yoga. I did lots of things. However, in September of '99, I tripped over a hole and shattered my left ankle. Let me be explicit here: I broke both my tibia and fibula about three inches above my ankle, and I wrapped my outside ankle bone (lateral malleolus) around the back of my foot so that it was right next to my inside ankle bone (medial malleolus). I think that wrapping of the ankle bones came when I tried to stand on that foot, just to "be sure" it wasn't broken.
Long story short, I had to go through a pretty significant surgery to try to repair the ankle, then went through weeks of highly intensive (and painful!) Physical Therapy so that I could be sure I walked normally. I regained about 85% of that foot's abilities, which was more than the doc thought I'd regain. He'd estimated about 65%-70%.
Let me briefly explain how our feet are made. The "heel" of a foot is made of a bone called the calcaneus. On top of the calcaneus sits the talus, and on top of that sits the tibia, which is the long bone of our shin. Because bones don't like rubbing directly on bones, there is a layer of cartilage between joints. What specifically affected my foot was the cartilage that existed between the talus and the tibia. In short, after about seven years, the cartilage just poofed. Gone, destroyed, finito. As the cartilage had been degrading, I'd begun building up calcium spikes around the top of the talus and the base of the tibia. These calcium spikes are produced when bones rub against each other, and they're what we call arthritis. In short, by about 2007-2008, I was walking with these spikes of calcium constantly rubbing against the tissues in that area — ligaments, tendons, muscles, etc. Walking wasn't all that caused pain, however; swimming, running, bicycling, turning, pivoting all caused pain. In short, every movement made by my left foot caused pain.
Now, if you haven't lived with constant, chronic pain? Yay! You're one of the lucky ones, and I am ecstatic for you! However, if you have? Then you pretty much know that not only is it, well, painful, but it's also emotionally and mentally debilitating. You just get so tired of hurting all the time. However, during that time, my second marriage was falling apart and so that took precedence over everything. Further, I lost my sister during that time, had a holy hell of a debacle with my family, and well? Just didn't have time to get the foot looked at.
Fast forward to 2010. By 2010, I still looked great, but I was at the peak of an emotional breakdown, and I also could barely walk without excruciating pain. Lots happened in my life during that time, lots improved, and by 2013 I could begin to look at getting the foot fixed. Went to the doc, got a diagnosis of End-Stage Arthritis. This essentially means that there is no option other than surgery in order to stop the pain. The choice became one of "Do I get it fused or go for a replacement?" In doing research to try to make this decision, I chose the ankle replacement. Why? Because, in short, fusion would allow me to run, but the replacement would allow me to do my yoga. I have knees that're trying to go bad, so I went the yoga route.
Doc botched the surgery, had to (in his words) "yank out the prosthetic, shave more off the tibia and attempt to replace the prosthetic." Look up ankle replacement techniques, I think you'll be amazed. Anyway, fast forward to 2016. I could still barely walk. I'd gone to my doc several times because I thought the prosthetic was slipping out of place. The pain was so intense! He'd look knowingly up at the X-Rays, purse his lips, then say "the prosthetic is in correctly." End of story. I finally, in 2016, went for a second opinion and found out the problem was tendonitis. Now, let me explain tendonitis to you. You see, our muscles begin as tendon where they attach to the originating bone. Then they become "muscle" or what we call muscle belly, then they become tendon again to attach to the bone they insert on. When you get tendonitis, that means that the muscle belly is spasmed, or shortened, or what we might call "tense." Get that belly tense enough and it pulls on the tendons which attach it to the bone. Most often, we see issues where it inserts on the bone rather than where it originates. Anyway, in my case, my calf muscles (specifically Tibialis Anterior) was spasmed and it was pulling on the tendon in my foot, where it inserted, thus causing the pain. A regimen of Ibuprofin and PT was recommended and VOILA! I could, for the first time in years, walk without pain!
Ok. You're asking yourself what all this has to do with body shaming, with self-hatred, yada yada, right? I'm getting there, don't rush me! Let's examine the facts. Catastrophic injury to the foot in 1999. Developing and then end-stage arthritis from around 2007ish until 2013, when the replacement happened. Then, 2013 to 2016 of living with tendonitis. So, those are the physical components. However, I also had emotional and other issues I was struggling with; the dissolution of my second marriage. The loss of my sister. The family issues. Entering a new relationship, picking up, moving several states away. Learning who I was. So on and so forth.
So, if I'm fair to myself, then I have to admit, I didn't "let" anything happen. Life happened, and I consistently did the best I could with what I had. I could no longer do my yoga. Due to massive depression, it was often all I could do to get outta bed and keep the house up. To be succinct (because I'm well-known for this, amiright?), my lifestyle changed drastically, and between about 2010 and 2016, I packed on 70 pounds. Now, keep something in mind; my skinny weight is 185. Not kidding; at 185 I wear a size 12 pant, a medium top, and look very skinny, though still full-figured. I wear a size 10-11 ring, size 11 to 11.5 shoes, and am 5'8.5″. I'm buxom, I got back, and so on and so forth. No, tall and willowy has never been me, but yeah, I can be skinny. At 2010, I weighed my normal 185ish. Now? Well, I won't put the number down, but you can do the math, right?
On to the body shaming. I've given this a great deal of thought over the years. First, let's begin with when I was a kid. For the longest time, I was called Stringbean because I was so tall and thin. Then around 14 I began to develop. Immediately, I went from Stringbean to "fat." "You're putting on some weight," my father would tell me. "Lose weight to X pounds and I'll buy you some designer jeans." My mother would poke me when I ate, telling me "You need to slow down, you're getting fat." Ok, gang. I've seen the pictures of me at this age, and on, and guess what? Nowhere was there an ounce of fat on me, other than the girls and the booty. My legs were thick, but they were muscular, as were my arms. For a woman, I have very broad shoulders. I used to take so much pride in the strength of my body; I was as strong as many men I knew, even being able to successfully arm-wrestle against many of them, and I was stronger than most women. I didn't work at it, it just was. So I had a very athletic build, partly due to genetics and partly due to my constant activity. Additionally? Have I mentioned "buxom" and "booty" yet? Yep, that was me. But there is a difference between that figure, and fat. However, I think a lot of parents react that way when their daughters begin to develop. I know my first husband did when our youngest daughter started to develop; he and his new wife dressed her in baggy jeans and oversized, shapeless hoodies and sweatshirts and t-shirts.
So. What is really happening here? Are our daughters really getting fat, or are you terrified because they're beginning to look like women? And then let's not even talk about the media! I was watching a commercial for a refrigerator recently. It begins with a woman (skinny, noticeable thigh gap) opening her refrigerator as a woman narrates. It then goes to talk about her creations, and the pictures are all of dessert and pastry making. So, the message we're seeing here is that a woman who loves to bake and prepare all these sweet tasty treats should be skinny as heck, and with a huge gap between her thighs. Why? Why are we doing this? I'm a gamer, and there was recently a thread in a new game I'm interested about character creation. One of the people asked whether the sliders would allow them to create a muscular woman. You should have seen the responses! "Women like that make me puke." Or "Why can't she just be a normal woman? I mean, looks like you want a woman who's just gonna dominate the men she's with." Or this, my favorite — and it's a direct quote — "Sounds like you want a man with a vagina."
Why is this acceptable? Why is it appropriate for anyone to dictate a "normal" and then decry anyone or anything that has the audacity to step outside that normal? In what sane world does this make sense? Oh, wait, guess I answered my own question. Not sure we can consider this a sane world.
Now let's wander back around to my original topic. Didja read the quote I posted? How many women do you know of who've been accused of "letting herself go"? Or, let's look at aging. I'm a Massage Therapist; trust me, I see all kindsa bodies. I can tell you without equivocation that, almost always, aging causes changes that express themselves in women as a thickening of the waist, sagging of the breasts, and sagging of the booty. Additionally we have all the wrinkles, the development of a double-chin sometimes, greying of the hair. How much money is made by hair color industries by women who color their grey? I know I did, until about two years ago!
When did we decide that these trophies of a life well-lived were things that indicated someone "let herself go"? When did it become acceptable to view someone who didn't pay out the wazoo for plastic surgery to "correct" these "deficiencies" in appearance as shameful? How many female celebrities do you know of who're looked upon with frowny faces because they didn't follow the plastic surgery craze? Why is this a thing?
I think it's a thing because we are social creatures, and we seek to belong. It's far easier to look outside ourselves at what society deems acceptable and strive to model ourselves to meet that criteria, rather than seek inward and determine what we consider acceptable. It's easier to point to our bodies and say "I need to lose this spare tire around my middle" than it is to look inside our minds, our hearts, and say "I need to change my outlook so that I'm more positive about things." Trust me, I know this. Further, our society has done two things in our recent history. First, it's expanded nearly exponentially. Second, it's become highly technical and, by association, highly "social." I mean, the local small-town bar I go to and love even has our resident "Selfie Queen." I call her this because more of her time in the bar is spent taking and posting selfies than it is interacting with the people sitting next to her.
This has led, I feel, to a crisis. This crisis is the ideology of "Normal." Normal, now, is plastered on our televisions, on our social networks, in our games, and even in forums. And what's more? It's accepted as "The Norm." Step outside The Norm and you become outcast. You don't fit in. And then, don't even get me started on our ability to think for ourselves in our society! Our children are taught what to think, not how to think. So all these messages are being sent about The Norm, our kids see them and immediately measure themselves against The Norm, and find themselves lacking. Surely, if they have pouty lips, huge unreal eyelashes, perfect hair, and of course a vast thigh gap, they'll be accepted!
Wrong. Wrong, wrong, wrong. But even when we know this, it is so very difficult to correct these beliefs, these behaviors. Trust me. I'm possibly the most self-analytical person I've ever met, and I still struggle with this! It's easier for me to fall back on my parents' messages about being "too fat" than it is for me to dive down inside and figure out what's really going on. Further? It's a habit now. Yep, I said it. Self-castigation and self-hatred is a habit. It's a constant little voice in the back of my head, making snide comments and assuring me that if I'd just stop letting myself go, I'd be happy.
I don't know if I'll be able to stop this in my lifetime, but I've determined that I'm going to work actively toward it for the rest of said lifetime. How do I intend to do this?
Well. Let's take it by the numbers:
- I am going to alter my diet. Wait, what? Does that mean I wanna lose weight? Actually, yes. But let's look at my reasons. First of all, I'm aging, and I need to do as much as I can to age gracefully. I already live with a lot of pain, constantly, from inflammation and other issues. Changing my diet (and losing weight if that happens) will help with these issues. Also, remember — artificial left ankle. Being 50 pounds overweight just ain't good for it (yes, you did the math right — I did lose 20 pounds recently).
- I'm going to start giving myself small successes. Today, I got out and worked briefly in the yard. Probably not enough to burn major calories, but certainly enough to give me a sense of accomplishment and achievement! Additionally, I redid my walking music mix, and I'm going to start walking again now that the weather's good.
- I'm going to (try to) stop arguing with my beloved when he says "You're beautiful." Ok, yeah, that's the hard one. But seriously, why argue? He believes it! Why don't I just accept that, to at least one person, I'm beautiful? Doesn't that mean that I can be beautiful? Maybe not by society's standards, but pft. Who cares? He believes I am beautiful, and I can choose to allow myself to see myself through his eyes.
- I'm going to try to wear sleeveless tops, rather than hate the wingspans I have. Seriously. I could fly to Atlanta with these wings! I'm still outrageously strong, I just have extra flesh there. So what? If I wear a sleeveless dress to go out with my beloved, he'll make sure I know he thinks I look beautiful. Really, who else matters?
- I'm going to start laughing at the commercial for the refrigerator, and remind myself "You can't trust a skinny cook." That's an old-old saying, by the way, if you didn't know it. Basically means that if a cook won't eat their own cooking, you probably don't wanna either. A pastry/dessert chef who stays skinny? Crazy genes, or a lie.
- I will, one body part at a time, start really seeing myself in the mirror and strive to accept that body part, then move on to the next
Yeah, tall order. Like I said, I may not actually achieve this in my lifetime. But guess what? I am determined to try.
I leave you with this last little visual. I'm sure many have seen it before … but maybe we all need to see it again?

Some were expecting there to be an article titled "In Defense of Lifestyle Anarchism" today. While that was the original plan, my computer has decided to delete that document entirely, and I am unsure why. In the meantime, while I am rewriting these pages, please enjoy this lengthened version of an earlier article written for "freedmarkets" on Instagram.
Capital has been chained by the capitalist, unable to be utilized in a manner that promotes competition, decentralization, and egalitarianism as it normally would (and should). Banks align with the government for their own interests, centralizing the supply of money in a manner that bears no resemblance to a freed market at all.

Orlandito and the other capuchin monkeys were torn from their forest homes by pet dealers.
They were confiscated but, like so many animals, ended up in limbo in a holding centre. After years of determined work, this summer their cage door was opened and they returned to the Colombian forest, free again, at last.
Orlandito was illegally trafficked, then rescued by Colombias environmental police and placed in the Unity Rescue and Rehabilitation of Wild Animals Centre (URRAS) in Bogotá. Here Orlandito was placed with two female capuchins, Meekú and Cibroa, and a young male, Jivi, to form a release group when a suitable site was found. The first site chosen seemed perfect but complications with permits prevented their release a devastating blow.
After negotiations with local authorities a site was identified in a remote location near Yopal, in north east Colombia. With a warm climate, a forest abundant with primates and a variety of tree species including mango, guava, blackberry and jobo trees the location was perfect.
ADI paid for the construction of a mobile acclimatisation enclosure, which would enable the monkeys to experience the sights, sounds and smells of the forest in safety. In this our monkeys would experience the forest environment and interact with other animals.
As their relocation date approached, small transmitter collars, designed to stay on for up to six months, were attached to each of the four monkeys. Tracking them during their initial release is vital, to monitor movements, identify social changes and interactions, and to verify their survival. Once their collars drop, these monkeys will simply disappear into the forest forever.
In April the monkeys were loaded onto an aircraft in Bogotá, the destination Yopal; freedom is in sight. Throughout the short flight the monkeys remained calm. They could not have imagined what would await them. Upon touchdown the ADI team drove to the release area, then trekked through the forest to the acclimatisation enclosure. Although free to leave, Orlandito and chums remained in the security of their travel crates before finally, in the early hours, taking their first tentative steps into their new enclosure home for the next 21 days.
Over the following days, Orlandito, Meekú, Cibroa and Jivi began to relax. With a diet of fruit rich in water to keep them hydrated, they settled into forest life. Their diet of familiar fruits expanded to include local wild forest fruits, coconuts, wild guavas, mangos and bananas. Some of the more unfamiliar varieties needed encouragement, so they were shown how to open and consume the fruit; they learned fast. They also gorged on an abundance of insects; Jivi proved to be particularly quick in snatching any opportunity to vary his diet.
The ADI team monitored them each day, and it was clear that the Orlandito family were all doing well; their fur was looking better then ever and they had gained a little weight.
On Saturday 8th May, the cage door was opened. Cibroa was the first out, darting into a nearby tree, followed by Meekù. Jivi hung back as if to try to entice Orlandito out, but soon the temptation grew too much and, like the females, he bolted for freedom. It was to be 8 long minutes before Orlandito mustered the courage to join them, but soon he, too, was out in the forest. They were free at last.
Staying close to the enclosure, the group explored the surrounding area, excitedly darting from tree to tree. The ADI team stayed for some time to keep watch before leaving; it was a poignant moment when we had to leave them to fend for themselves.
Over the following days the group was monitored from a distance using the tracking device. Initially our team left food in trees, but it wasnt long before the monkeys were feeding themselves and thriving in their new world, a truly glorious sight. However, on day 6 the signal for Orlandito was lost. For 14 days the team searched the forest, to no avail. The rest of the group was located, but no Orlandito; the team started to fear the worst. Thankfully, on day 21 Orlanditos signal was picked up, much to everyones relief. But still no sighting. Finally on day 23 he was spotted near the enclosure with the group, he was alive and well.
Subsequent visits have found that the monkeys are thriving, and are staying close to a group of 6 howler monkeys, possibly for security. We are delighted with their progress, and will continue to monitor them over the next few months. Thank you to everyone who donated towards this remarkable release, a magnificent triumph for the animals.

|This is a condition brought on due to exaggerated responsiveness to stimulation of barorecptors in the carotid sinus. This condition is more common among older males. Carotid baroreceptors play an important role in the blood pressure homeostasis. They recognize changes in transmural pressure and stretch. These then generate a neuronal impulses which are transmitted to and then processed by nuclei in brain stem. The heart rate and vasomotor tone are changed in response to these stimuli making changes in the blood pressure as needed. Carotid sinus hyperresponsiveness to these stimuli leads to an exaggerated response resulting in bradycardia, hypotension, syncope etc. This hyperresposiveness can be the manifestation of a generalized autonomic dysregulation or a defect in any part of the reflex arc. Diagnosis of carotid sinus syndrome(CSS) is made when there is an asystole of >3 s and/or a fall in systolic blood pressure of >50 mmHg during carotid sinus massage together with reproduction of spontaneous symptoms. CSS has a cardioinhibitory component which results from increased vagal tone and a vasodepressor component resulting from sympathetic activity withdrawal. [1][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10]
|Recurrent syncope
|Hypotension that result from carotid sinus stimulation leads to a transient brain hypoperfusion leading to loss of consciousness.[1][2][4][5][7][8][9][10]
|Non accidental falls
|These patients experience recurrent episodes of non accidental and unexplained falls which occur when there is transinet brain hypoperfusion and loss of consciousness.[2][5][7][10]
|Recurrent dizziness
|This is also a result of brain hypopperfusion as described above.[1][4][7][10]
|Symptoms precipitated by a stimulating event
|events such as wearing garments with tight collar around neck, turning head, feeling for carotid pulse etc can stimulate the hypersensitive carotid baroreceptors and bring about symptoms.[1][2][3][7][8][9][10]
|Onset of symptoms followed surgery, trauma, radiation, tumor etc in the neck region
|These may cause mechanical dysruption to the carotid sinus region and cause carotid baroraceptor hypersentivity. [1][5][7][9]
|Symptoms brought on by carotid massage
|CSS is condition that results due to hypersensitivity of the carotid baroreceptors to mildest stimulation. Carotid massage or slight pressure at the carotid sinus will reproduce the symptoms and signs of CSS. Before performing carotid sinus massage it is important to exclude presence of a bruit in order to prevent dislodging a plaque or thrombus in the carotid bifucation that can cause stroke.[1][2][3][5]
|Results from increased vagal tone on the cardiac pacemaker. Is marked in cardioinhibitory type CSS.[1] [2][3]
|This results mainly due to reduced peripheral resistance due to an imbalance between the parasympathetic and sympathetic effect on peripheral vessels. In vasodepressor type of CSS there is significant hypotension without much reduction in heart rate.[1][2][3]
|Bruit auscultated over carotid artery
|May be associated with some cases of CSS. These patients may have carotid narrowing due to atherosclerosis with risk of ischemic stroke. Cervical bruit may also be present in conditions such as thyrotoxicosis, radiated murmur of aortic stenosis or mitral valve prolapse, bruit of high cardiac output and the venous hum in some healthy childern.[1][2][4][5][6]
|Vasovagal syncope
|Results from reduced cardiac output and systemic vascular resistance. Vasovagal syncope is triggered by emotionally challenging situations for e.g. seeing blood,hearing bad news etc. It may arise in response to carotid sinus hypersensitivity also. What ever the trigger may be, it leads to an exaggerated vagal response resulting in reduced heart rate and blood pressure (due to reduced systemic vascular resistance) thus reducing cerebral blood flow which cause temporary loss of consciousness.[1][2]
|Orthostatic hypotension
|This results from a postural reduction in cerebral perfusion which in turn is due to a drop in vascular tone. When a person stands up there is a sudden drop in his mean arterial pressure, either due to blood pooling in legs or reduced systemic vascular resistance. The sudden drop in blood pressure cause a sudden reduction in cerebral perfusion leading to syncope followed by quick recovery as the person collapses and the increased venous return restores blood pressure and cerebral perfusion.[1][2]
|Cardiogenic syncope
|Results from a decrease in cardiac output which can be brought about by bradyarrhythmias and tachyarrhythmias (eg, heart block, sick sinus syndrome, supraventricular tachycardias etc.) and structural problems (eg, aortic stenosis, mitral stenosis, cardiomyopathies, atrial myxomas etc.). Reduction in cardiac out put lead to reduced cerebral perfusion and syncope. [1][2]
|Panic disorder
|In this case syncope will be associated with other symptoms of a panic attack, such as feelings of dread or intense fear, sweating, palpitations, tremor, reduced field of vision, etc.[1][2]
|Autonomic dysregulation
|This may result in impaired vascular tone and reduced blood pressure resulting in syncope. Diseases such as Parkinson's disease, diabetes, alcohol abuse, toxin ingestion can lead to autonomic dysregulation. [1][2]
|Done to help in the diagnosis of arrhythmogenic syncope.[2][3]
|Is done to screen for structural and valvular heart disease and functional disease of the myocardium. [2][3]
|Orthostatic challenge test
|Done to assist diagnosis of orthostatic hypotension. Threre are two methods that can carried out; 'active standing', (patients arise actively from supine to erect), and the head up tilt.[2][3]
|Carotid sinus massage
|This is capable of reproducing symptoms of CSS. Should be done especially on all patients above 40 years of age.[2][3]
|24 hour Holter monitoring
|Can be used to screening for intermitent dysrhythmias that can result in arrhythmogenic syncope, but are not detected by routine ECG. [1][3]
|Computed tomography (CT) neck
|Should be done when there is suspicion of a tumor mass compressing the carotid sinus bringing about CSS.[1]
|Complete blood count
|Done to detect presence anemia and assess other blood parameters prior to planing surgery[1]
|Serum electrolytes and serum creatinine
|Done to assess the baseline renal function prior to planing surgery[1]
|Done to assess the cardiac function prior to anesthesia. Done in older patients and those with a history of ischemic heart disease only.[1]
|2D Echocardiogram
|Done to assess the cardiac function and structure prior to planing surgery in patient with heart disease.[1]
|Fasting/random blood glucose level
|Done prior to planing surgery as blood sugar levels affect outcome of surgery.[1]
|Lung function tests
|Can be done to assess the cardio-respiratory reserve prior to anesthesia. Also done in patients with cardio-respiratory problems.[1]
|Education of patient and family
|Patient and the family should be educated regarding the nature of the condition, available treatment options, precipitating factors and importance of avoiding them.[1]
|Life style changes
|Life style modifications in relation to avoid wearing tight collars round neck and other carotid sinus stimulatory events shouldbe employed.[1]
|Permanent pacemaker implantaion
|This mode of treatment is most effective in patients with cardioinhibitory type of CSS. Dual-chamber pacing is considered the best type of pacing. Cardiac pacing is effective to alleviate syncope but less effective in preventing pre-syncope. It counteracts the asystole associated with CSS which brings about syncope.[1][2]
|Unilateral or bilateral carotid sinus denervation has shown to either completely abolish or markedly improve symptoms of CSS.[3]
|Some studies have shown that midodrine which is an alpha-1 agonist can reduce the occurrence of syncope due to CSS when compared to a placebo.[4]
|Several studies have shown that treatment with fludrocortisone is effective to reduce symptoms of vasodepressor CSS.[5]

We are for the consolidation of townships, but the McHenry Township road district abolishment only will hurt that cause. There is no plan, and the move ultimately could hurt taxpayers unless a plan is in place.
We've said it before, and we will say it again. Illinois has almost 7,000 units of local government – far too many. Eliminating the state's 1,431 townships would be a good start down the path of government consolidation and an end to embarrassing and wasteful township politics.
This referendum on its own, however, is the wrong way to start the process. We'd be better served to consolidate the road districts and townships en masse, sharing equipment and services across the current arbitrary lines.
The problem in this particular case – which would abolish the road district and transfer the "rights, powers, duties, assets, property, liabilities, obligations and responsibilities" of the district to the township – is that there is no further plan.
And if this blows up in the township trustees' faces, it very easily could be used to set back the process of consolidating the state's many townships altogether. The taxpayers cannot afford that. There is no proof to show this process would save money, as proponents say it will. We're concerned this referendum is being pushed through without enough thought, and we worry the effect on the service to residents could be detrimental.
Residents need to know the effect the elimination of the road district would have on their tax bills and quality of service before they vote.
If voters decide to abolish the road district, no changes would take place until the end of McHenry Township Highway Commissioner James Condon's term in 2021 – meaning there's time to study the issue further so residents can make an informed vote. For those reasons, we endorse voting no to abolishing the McHenry Township road district.
City of McHenry
McHenry residents have two decisions to make – whether the city should build an addition to the McHenry Recreation Center and whether McHenry High School District 156 should make significant changes to the McHenry West and East high school campuses.
Both items come at a cost.
To make the improvements to the recreation center – which would include an indoor pool, gymnasium and an outdoor family aquatic park – the city would have to issue bonds up to $30 million. If the referendum goes through, homeowners with a $168,000 home could expect to see their property taxes rise by about $180 annually for up to 20 years, according to city documents.
To make improvements to the schools – which could include constructing a Science, Technology and Industry Center at West Campus, expanding West Campus and renovating East Campus classrooms, among other items – District 156 would have to issue bonds to the amount of $44 million. The ultimate plan aims to house all freshmen at McHenry East and send those in grades 10 through 12 to the expanded McHenry West, district officials have said.
A taxpayer with a $200,000 home currently pays about $273 annually toward the district's bonds, which the district is set to pay off in levy year 2018. If the referendum is approved, those payments would be replaced, and the same taxpayer would pay about $208 annually in property taxes to pay for the new building bonds, according to district documents.
Improved recreational facilities and schools can make a community a better place to live and help attract new businesses and homeowners. However, it also would cost the taxpayers of McHenry. It's up to voters to weigh the costs and benefits of these proposals.
County Board
All McHenry County voters will face two referendum questions in the upcoming election regarding imposing term limits on the McHenry County Board chairman and its members.
If passed, the first would limit the County Board chairman to office for two full terms, or 10 years, starting in 2020. The second would limit County Board members to serving 12 years starting in 2022.
Term limits help prevent career politicians from monopolizing seats and give a chance to newcomers who offer different perspectives to the board. Both limits would allow members to be in office for at least
10 years, giving the chairperson or board member plenty of time to accomplish their goals on the board.
Although we understand there are some unintended consequences to imposing term limits – kicking good people out of office and having less experienced elected officials, to name a couple – the pros to term limits outweigh the cons.
We endorse voting yes on both referendums seeking to impose term limits on the County Board.

A Poetry Sporadical of Repeating Forms
Blonds grow liver-spotty; their hair turns grey,
But mentally, it's still that straw-spun gold.
The nose-pierced teen who can barely say
Picasso thinks come Fall she'll be enrolled
At Yale—a scholarship (of course) to study art!
If art goes bust, she'll try Divinity.
Everyone is blinded by the heart.
The only guy who gets it right is me.
My garbage man has found The Source; my priest
Is hot to be an astronaut, though he's
Afraid of heights; my sister and her boy friend
Are off to India—I call it Weed Land—where she's
Convinced her bovine soul will find its place.
My daughter's chess coach—geeky, twee—
Wants to help the Red Sox win a pennant race.
The only guy who gets it right is me.
Morticians, politicians, everyone's
Another. Even mother, bless her heart—
She claimed that she was French, her stock of Huns
Not kosher. Is anybody happy with their part?
I guess those Hindus have the bit down best.
Flesh on, flesh off—through all eternity.
But that's work! Eventually you want some rest.
The only guy who gets it right is me.
My therapist's a ninny; he wants to be
The Sage. Get a load of his advice: a job!
Hey, I've sold a dozen chapbooks. I get paid!
The only guy who gets it right is me.
Lance Levens writes and teaches Latin in Savannnah, Georgia. Jubilate, a chapbook (Pudding House Press), was published in 2007.

Plans have been revealed to relaunch Southern Sound as an online station for East Sussex with hopes of winning a DAB licence in 2020.
The not-for-profit company behind the station has launched a crowdfunding bid to raise the £6,500 they need and, with the station set to launch on April 22, 2019, it is keen for local support in reviving it.
Southern Sound has not broadcast for more than 20 years.
Team leader Andy Lloyd said: "The new Southern Sound will be aimed at listeners aged 40+ who may perhaps feel that current local stations are just too youth orientated."
He added that the station is broadcasting tests on www.southernsound.net.
Andy said: "There have been many battles along the way, but we have the UK trademark to the station name.
"We have secured the rights to the former station's jingles and it's hoped to have some ex-Southern Sound DJs involved too.
"The station will have its own app for Android and iOS devices, it will feature on platforms such as Radioplayer and people can listen at www.southernsound.net.
"FM radio is old technology, nowadays nobody carries a transistor radio with them, but everyone has a phone, and that's where we will be.
"We want Southern Sound to be a service whose sole purpose is to serve the area, it's all about fulfilling a need for a genuinely localised music and information station.
"That's why the company will be not-for-profit, clearly demonstrating our intentions and commitment.
"As long as it is financially self-sustaining, then we will see that as a success. Our Facebook page has 520 likes already, so we must be on to something."
Southern Sound plans to broadcast 24 hours a day, with a daytime mix of music from the 1960s-1980s, specialist music programmes are also planned for the evenings, along with the latest weather, traffic and travel and local community information.

Quasar Hockey Club was first formed in August 1995, with six primary school pupils from Kinloss Primary School, after it was discovered that many talented young players did not have the opportunity to play hockey, in Moray, once they reached secondary school. That year, numbers swelled and the Club won the U14 Scottish Cup. This led to many more successes at youth level and an increasing number of players joining the Club over the next 7 years.
The Quasar men were the first to make a mark at senior level, progressing through the leagues, till eventual promotion to National League status, the pinnacle being National League 2. In the meantime, Quasar HC merged with Moray Ladies HC in 2001. This bold move by both clubs made Quasar HC the largest, most northern club in Scotland, at the time.
Since then, the inevitable movement of players to pastures new almost caused the Club to fold in 2010/2011, when only eight members were registered. In response, a massive recruitment drive was undertaken around the local communities of Moray and its schools. The efforts were so successful that the Club now boasts a membership of over 30 ladies, 13 of whom are Under 18. Currently, the Club has a ladies' team playing in North District Ladies League Division 1 and North District Ladies Indoor Division 1 and 2,a Youth Team (U18), as well as a growing primary school group. There are also plans to reinstate an men's outdoor team in the future. The Club runs without the support of sponsors and is almost totally self-financing.
Our aims
Quasar HC aims to provide all members and potential members with the opportunity to play hockey. The Club shares a backbone of experience and encourages all players, of all abilities and ages, to try hockey, maybe take it up, and certainly to develop their skills and abilities, to be the best that they can be.
Coaching & legacy
Quasar HC's coach and founder is Pete Bavidge who brings with him almost 30 years of coaching experience and success. Click here for Pete's full profile, CV and achievements. In addition to past Scottish Cup successes, many of the Quasar youth players have gone on to represent Scotland at many levels, with some now proudly boasting multiple caps at Senior National level.
Quasar HC trains every Wednesday evening from 7pm to 9pm throughout most of the year, at either Elgin Academy or Milne's High School in Fochabers. All ages and abilities are welcome to attend. Training opportunities for Juniors aged 12-15 are often delivered in six-week blocks throughout the year. Please contact Pete Bavidge for further details. View maps or download directions.
Quasar HC play their matches on either a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and times can vary. All matches are played within the Moray, Aberdeenshire or Inverness areas. Our home matches are held at either Elgin Academy or Kinloss Barracks near Kinloss. View maps or download directions.
