For some Blaine students, success is a struggle
By Jack Kintner
Many awards and accolades will be passed out at Blaine high school's graduation ceremony, set for Thursday evening June 14, but there are always other students who deserve recognition for a job well done even though their accomplishments may not win any prizes.
Here are two graduating seniors, Ashley Harden and Tabitha Adams whose road to graduation involved overcoming experiences that might have ended their high school careers prematurely, but didn't.
Ashley Harden grew up fast as a sophomore in high school in Gaylord, Michigan, when her brother Derrick came home badly injured from the front lines in Iraq.
"He was shot and hit with shrapnel from a car bomb," Harden said "and ended up at Walter Reed Hospital in Washington, D.C." Harden left school to go with her mother Deborah to help him recover and later on with his rehabilitation and missed the second half of her sophomore year.
"January 19, 2004 is a date that we think of as his new birthday," she said, the day he was injured. His right leg was amputated and surgeons had already marked his left leg for amputation as well. "Then he woke up and told them no, not to take it, and then showed them he could wiggle his foot," she said.
did the night shift and I did the day shift," said
her mother, Deborah, "cleaning his wounds and helping
in therapy. She's very strong and determined, and
has always liked to help people."
She and Derrick are the only two in her family to graduate from high school, though two others in the family of six kids have GED certificates.
In Ashley's case graduating on time meant making up the credits for the semester she lost helping her brother. Her family has known other tragedies as well, including the death of a three-year old niece and problems her siblings have had. "I saw them kind of go off the edge and decided that I wanted to make my life different," she said.
By the time she showed up for her
senior year at Blaine high school last October, she had
worked her way back to where she was only one-half credit
behind. A normal semester in high school is worth three
Ashley said that she found Blaine to be a fun place. Along with close friend Jordan Perry she's found ways to be a kid again, like fishing for bass in Lake Terrell. She credits English teacher Lisa Laskey and contract learning independent program coordinator Laura Nelson with helping her to earn a 3.5 GPA as a senior. "She's always been there to help," said her mom, "which is one reason I don't want her to leave. We've been through so much together."
Tabitha Adams
Tabitha Adams will attend Bellingham Technical College (BTI) next year on her way to becoming an electrician like her dad, with whom she is very close. His work as a substation operator for Bonneville Power brought the family to Blaine three years ago from Vancouver, Washington.
smaller than my old high school, Fort Vancouver, where
we had 4,000 kids," she said, "but
it's friendlier here. It's a good place."
A month after arriving, Tabitha's mother found her in what turned out to be a diabetic coma so severe she thought her daughter had died.
"They told me that if I'd been 10 minutes later getting to the hospital that I would be dead," she said. Instead, doctors at St. Joseph Hospital in Bellingham sent her to Children's Hospital in Seattle where she stayed for the next 10 days.
"I have type one diabetes," she explained, "and will eventually need a liver and kidney transplant." Adams was giving herself up to eight injections a day until recently fitted with an insulin pump she wears on her right hip.
Among other costs of getting so sick, she missed so much school that she flunked algebra. "I was at Children's for about 10 days, first in intensive care and then in my own room," she said, adding that seeing other kids with much worse diseases helped her get some perspective on her diabetes. "It left me weak, though. I went down to about 87 pounds." Normally, she said, at 5'4" she weighs in at 115.
Adams began her academic comeback the next year by taking two algebra classes as a junior, and this year qualified for and enrolled in AP algebra. Her GPA went up from a 3.5 the first semester to 3.7 this semester.
An artist, she likes photography and sketching. The bright and articulate 17-year-old could easily go to any of a number of colleges but after graduating she's headed for BTI, modeling her career after that of her dad.
"Blaine is a small school, but the teachers are here to help, and they sure helped me," she said, "and I'm glad I've been here."

More Machete? Great. Less Jessica Alba? Not so sure...
Halloween season is officially underway! And for all the like minded 'Halloween People' out there this is a time of joy, celebration, and triumph as the waves of 'normies' flock to each one of us for opinions on what to watch throughout the scariest of seasons.
Though we will always have great suggestions and fun picks to throw their way, we're not always 100% caught up to date with the best options during the season. So here at BloodyGoodHorror we have a listing of some of the strongest suggestions theatrically, rental wise, and even the most up to date Netflix Instant suggestions.
It's 4 am, I've been awake for over an hour and I can't get Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" out of my head. A 7 am flight to Nashville should do the trick.
The trailer for "Machete Kills" has hit the tubes and to be honest I think I might want to make a baby with this movie. And not just because of Sofia Vergara. Well mostly because of Sofia Vergara. I really like Sofia Vergara. A lot.
NBC has decided to pick up "Hannibal" for a second season despite lackluster ratings in my household. The show got a 0 out of 3 viewership in my home after the first episode sat on my DVR for close to two weeks before I finally said, "I'm never going to watch this" and then deleted it. I don't know what those TV big wigs are thinking.
Michael C. Hall has been confirmed to be playing the lead in Jim Mickle's big screen adaptation of "Cold In July". The story follows a man who finds himself in hot water after he kills an ex-con's son. I like to think that Michael C. Hall and C. Thomas Howell are really good friends and do everything together. But that's just me.
I haven't seen "Demons" or "Demons 2" since I was just a wee lad but I do remember enjoying them a great deal. And now I can relive those watercolor memories thanks to the folks at Synapse because they're releasing both flicks on Blu-Ray later this year in a limited edition steel case. Why they hell do you need these films in a steel case? I have no idea but they're chock full of extras and someday could be worth 3 to 4 dollars more of less than you originally paid. Get em while they're hot.
The Maryland kid who got suspended from school for shaping his Pop-Tart into a gun has been given a lifetime NRA membership. So that all worked out for the best I guess. I look forward to hearing of his prison sentence in 5 to 10 years.
Now I don't condone driving drunk at all but if you're going to do it you should probably do it like this guy in New Mexico who got into a car crash while being under the influence and having sex with a woman. But seriously, don't do it.
It's a known fact that anytime Danny Trejo makes out with a girl half his age an angel gets its wings. So good news for all the flightless people in the big upstairs because "Machete Kills" has finally been slapped with a September 13, 2013 release date. Watching him make out is without a doubt one of the most upsetting and inspiring things the human eye can see.
If there's one thing we can all agree on it's that the original "The Crazies" was awful and the 2010 remake was awesome. There is not a single person on this planet who can argue that. Well the guy who co-wrote the retelling, Ray Wright, has just signed on the pen the script to "The Widow". The film follows a younger woman who befriends a older widow only to find that their meeting was not a coincidence. Sounds frighting already. Old people you know. You can see their veins.
The US remake of the Chilean flick "Hidden In the Woods" has landed itself one half of the Babysitter Twins duo in the form of Electra Avellan. No word on if her sister will join the cast but the a story of two sisters fighting to escape the prison like environment they've been raised in, so I mean they need a sister right? If not I hope they got the one with the least unintelligible accent.
Youngster Colin Ford has been added to the cast of "Under the Dome", a Stephen King and Steven Spielberg collaboration currently set for a 13 episode run on CBS starting this June. Based on King's novel the series is set in a small town whose residents discover they've been trapped by a mysterious barrier. I hope there's a Taco Bell in the town. I mean no tacos? I'd be all like, "you gotta get this barrier to go away. I need tacos!"
I have no idea how this happens but a woman in Sweden figured out a way to crash a train into a house. You almost have to be impressed with that kind of thing. Almost.
If you lost a shipment of 18 human heads recently I've got some good news. They've turned up at Chicago's O'Hare International Airport and can be picked up at your earliest convince. You're welcome.
I don't usually like to write about behind the scenes videos on here because let's be honest they're usually pretty boring but today I have to break that rule. Today we have a clip from the set of "Machete Kills" featuring the one and only Sofía Vergara. Yes she's wearing next to nothing in the clip and yes it's 100% creepy that this was actually posted on her son's video blog but I think the first point outweighs the second. You try to tell me I'm wrong.
Exciting news has come out of Jamie Lee Curtis' camp that the original scream queen will be making her first and last appearance at a horror convention this coming November. She's stopping in to a special Horror Hound Weekend in Indianapolis from November 16-18 for photo signings, QA and I hope drunken fire tossing in the courtyard. All the money she makes over the weekend will go to Starlight Children's Foundation so if she does end up tossing around the devil stix please drop a 20 in the hat on the ground.
The good folks over at The Scream Factory have dropped knowledge that they will be releasing blu-ray editions of the classic horror flicks "Terror Train" and "The Funhouse" on October 16th. Both will be chock full of special features including audio commentaries, photo galleries and trailers. Only one of them will feature a train though while the other will take place at a carnival. Try to guess which is which.
Attacking people with a sword is pretty awful but I'm sure even the victims have to admit you kind of look like a bad ass. If you happen to have a peanut butter sandwich in the other hand though you kind of just look like a crazy guy. Devil's in the details.
Having your genitals grabbed by the maid when you're 14 can be a pretty traumatic experience but at the end of the day you'll probably just end up bragging to your friends on the playground. Unless of course that maid turns out to be a cross dressing man. Then you're going to file some charges. It's called evolution folks.
There's a new trailer for the "Total Recall" remake out but that's not the big news here. The big news is that in the trailer we have 100% confirmation that there's a 3 boobied hooker. I know, I can barely type I'm so excited. This might be the greatest day in the history of the world.
There can only be one "Highlander"! Well actually there can be multiple. There was for sure a sequel and now there's a remake of the 1986 cult classic that I've never seen. But I might see the remake, because Ryan Reynolds has been confirmed to be taking the lead in the film. I'm not going to go into why I will see it now because of him. I don't have to explain myself to you.
Sing this with me. I... like... movies with Danny Trejo. Charlie Sheen playing the president. And.. AND... TWINS! Remember those commercials?! Well I do and I'm talking about Elise and Electra Avellan being added to the cast of "Machete Kills". For those of you who don't follow the work of Robert Rodriguez the Avellan twins were those two girls from "Planet Terror" and the original "Machete" flick. Your move, 3 boobied alien.
For those of you who have been waiting with baited breath for the new "Carrie" remake I have the honor or breaking the news to you that production has officially begun in Toronto. For those of you who love freedom and hate maple syrup I have to misfortune of telling you that the "Carrie" remake has begun production in Toronto.
Here's a Seattle man who loves flashing so much that he stopped off on his way to court to flash some people. What was he on his way to court for? Well if I have to tell you that then you probably don't get any of my comic wit now do you.
When you're a pizza delivery lady and you come back to your car after making a drop off to find a naked man attacking your car and claiming it's his it's really best to just let him do his thing. That's just sound advice if you ask me.
Tomorrow night a buddy of mine is having a bachelor party in the fine city of New York. It's my first real night out of debauchery since my little bundle of joy stepped into the world some 11 months ago. This could go 1 of 2 ways. I could either be dead on my feet by 11, I don't think I've been up past then since I became a father other than when woken up by crying.... or I could go so far off the deep end then I end up getting drunk out of my mind and start a fist fight with a hooker. If there's no news on Monday assume the latter happened.
I don't know why I didn't see this coming but Charlie Sheen has signed on to play the President in Robert Rodriguez's "Machete Kills". I assume Gary Busey will be joining the cast any day now. I'm fine with all this by the way.
Word around town is that Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver have been picked up by the folks at Universal to bang out the script for "Jurassic Park 4". You might recognize those two names from their work on 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Perhaps "bang out" isn't the right term I should be using. I don't know if they're banging or anything. They may be happily married and now their better halves are obviously reading this and throwing a fit. God I've ruined another marriage!
I had no idea I was so pissed that Darren Ward's "A Day of Violence" hadn't made its way to the States but the internet tells me I should be excited about it it hitting our shores on August 21st so god damn it if I'm not all a flutter. The film has been sitting around since 2007 follows a British gangster as he chops down his rivals who are after him for the money he stole. Seriously I have never heard of this thing. But don't let that take away from the hoopla that's about to drop... from my pants.
What's better than a Roger Corman flick where a bunch of girls run around having tickle fights? How about one of those woman being 50 foot tall and in 3D? I know, it seems so simple it could just work! Well word has come from the mountains that Corman is ready to unveil his masterpiece, titled "Attack of the 50ft Cheerleader", next month at Comic-Con after a panel discussion. Let the magic begin.
A guy who insists on calling himself Thor snapped and started showing everyone his uncut manhood while dressed like a woman? There must be some kind of reasonable explanation. We'd all like to be called Thor. This guy was obviously just sane enough to think of it first.
Sometimes the trauma of getting into a car crash can leave someone so shaken they do crazy things. Like this Texas woman who left her kids at the scene, walked to a CVS, stripped and start eating ice cream. I'm not saying you won't go to jail for this, you 100% will, I'm just saying it happens.
Imagine Entertainment has their beady little eyes set on a new version of George Orwell's "1984" and has already tapped Noah Oppenheim to pen the script. For those of you not familiar with the book it's kind of like that show "Big Brother" but with more torture and less HOH competitions.
"Monster Problems" sounds like a movie that should have an awesome theme song. Not many movies have theme songs anymore though huh? Oh man remember the 80's?! Well maybe it will have a theme song. And maybe a Shawn Levy will dance around in the video because he's just been added to the cast of the post-apocalyptic road trip love story film. I hope Kenny Loggins sings the song.
Edward James Olmos, more than any other person, made me want to learn math. I'm not going to explain why. You should already know. Well now he's going to make me want to.. I don't know, move to Mexico maybe? Because he's joined the cast of Robert Rodriguez's "Machete Kills". He makes me want to learn Spanish also. I feel like that would be useful.
I'm starting to think that "Mad Max: Fury Road" is actually happening because Rosie Huntington-Whiteley of prancing around in her underthings fame has just been added to the cast. In her own words she's playing one of "five women being taken from one place to another place". Sounds riveting. Put that crap on a poster man.
A different Ohio man is in jail after he was caught having sex with a teddy bear in public... for the second time. Nice try Ohio, you had me for a second there.
An Ohio man is in jail after a judge tossed him in the slammer for showing up to court in saggy jeans. Ohio, every once in a while you get it right.
Chances are most of you have checked out already for the long weekend so I kind of feel like I can say anything I want in the news today and no one will notice. Even if you actually showed up to work and are looking at this copy you're not really reading it. You're thinking of dry humping your best gal on the beach somewhere or whatever the hell it is you'll be doing this weekend. So here it goes... I've never understood why people like "Lord Of the Rings" and I've never found Angelina Jolie attractive. Alright let's do this.
The Spy Kid himself Mason Cook has signed on to play the role of young Eddie Munster in NBC's new series "Mockingbird Lane". For those of you not familiar with the show "Mockingbird Lane" is an updated and much darker retelling of the classic sitcom "The Munsters". One time when I was in middle school I tried to make it with a butter churn.
New Jersey's own Zoe Saldana has been added to the cast of "Machete Kills" and Danny Trejo himself has confirmed that he gets to put his mouth on her. How's that for news? I watched 3 seasons of "Glee" before I realized it was awful.
If there's one complaint I always hear about the classic film "The Exorcist" it's that the film is just too darn scary and needs to be watered down. Well good news for all those who hate awesome things the flick is being remade and for television. The show will be a ten part series and in all fairness with "Martha Marcy May Marlene" director Sean Durkin onboard I don't hate this idea as much as I thought I would. I illegally downloaded 3 Linkin Park songs that I have on my iPod when I run.
Derek Mears, who's been in every horror movie made in the last 15 years, only covered in make up... and Caroline Williams, who played Stretch in "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2", have been added to the cast of the much anticipated "Hatchet 3". My first time was with a girl I met on the internet and never spoke to again after that night.
Sometimes you've got to get the skid marks out and the only way to do that is to break into your neighbor's house and do your laundry. Sometimes that is.
In case you were wondering, Ted Kaczynski, better known as the Unabomber, will not be able to attend his 50th college reunion at Harvard. Ya know, cause of all the bombs and stuff he makes.
Award Pictures is apparently in the process of having their asses sued by Mr. Sam Raimi over their plans to make an "Evil Dead 4" film without his involvement or permission. While there's little chance we'll ever actually see "Evil Dead 4: Consequences" I think this is a perfect opportunity for someone to swoop in and make "Evil Dead 5" before anyone has a chance to notice. I'm already working on part 7.
Sharlto Copley, the little alien that couldn't from "District 9", is in talks to play opposite Angelina Jolie in "Maleficent", a new film that plans to tell the back story behind Sleeping Beauty. If he joins the cast Copley will play King Stefan, the napping sweetheart's father. Alien kings! What'll they think of next?
Mick Garris looks like he could be Michael Bay's crazy Uncle but he isn't, I looked it up on the internet to confirm. He is directing a new UFO conspiracy film titled "Invasion" though so it's kind of like they're direction relatives. Ya know, cause they both direct movies. They hang out at the same bars and crap I assume. The Directors Chair I bet it's called. And they have a drink called The Black List with Whiskey and chalk shavings in it. What a couple of jerks.
Sofia Vergara has joined the cast of "Machete Kills". I assume this move is because Jessica Alba is an asshole on the sets of movies and Robert Rodriguez can't cut her out of the film so he did the next best thing. Found a woman that makes her look like a dog faced monster. Well played, señor.
We've all played the old "hey my zipper is down and my junk is hanging out" game at the check out line of our local grocery store, but apparently this guy in Michigan is going to jail for it. This is just like those stories you hear about dodge ball being taken out of schools. Fun is dead.
A Long Island woman is accused of selling both sex and hot dogs along the side of the road from a cart. I swear to god it's like every time there's a new street meat trend I always find out about it a day too late.
This week we discuss alchemy, camera technology, a first time guest host joins the show, and we review "As Above, So Below".

Fog & Car
Novel by Eugene Lim
Ellipsis Press, September 2008
Paperback: 276pp; $10.00
Review by John Madera
If divorce is a totaled car, then Eugene Lim's Fog & Car is a multiple vehicle pile-up. Huge accidents tend to occur in rain or fog – the low-visibility tricking drivers into thinking other cars are further away than they really are. Throwing everything into darkness, Lim's novel forces its characters, and the reader, to crane forward, to squint their eyes, to try get their bearings, just to keep from crashing. And all of this happens after an off-stage break-up.
Fog & Car's chapters tick tock between Jim Fog and his ex-wife Sarah Car dusting themselves from the wreck of their marriage, licking their wounds, trying to make sense of their failures as individuals and as a couple, to redefine who they are outside of each other's arms. Relationships often dissolve in order to escape boredom, chaos, or to avert some imagined disaster, but just like that car in a fog smashing into another car and that car smashing into another, sometimes a break-up leads to even further chaos and disorder. Mr. Fog and Ms. Car's divorce leads to deep soul-scouring, mystery, chaos, some kind of redemption for one, and, for the other, dissolution, menacing darkness, and an augured, but still uncertain, end. Their surnames should have signaled that their relationship was doomed from the start, but Lim's novel cannot be reduced to allegory.
Fog & Car is also about another marriage, namely, form and content. Lim has a poet's eagle eye for resonant detail, an artist's eye for symbolic representation. Throughout the novel, he plays with the book as an object, artfully "designing" his characters' consciousnesses, their fragmentation, their confusion, their emptiness, on the page much like a painter would. Sarah Car, adrift and bereft, spends much of the novel's first half figuring herself out, exploring things she'd forsaken, and ironically finds an anchor by learning to swim.
She swims with pleasure. The moment just previous to her entrance into the water is one of almost sexual anticipation. She thinks it may be a link to this other place, this relative place, one of body perhaps, except the anticipation seems to be not for any act but a void, or perhaps the body remembers something the mind, not being able to state, does not. In any case the actual swimming is also conscious, efforted, a process of learning. It is complex, in the end, and one which she enjoys participating in. The dive
into the water, the random slush and splish of first movement and then that sounds relaxation into a rhythm of arm and water, distance and turn,
turn and distance, forth
and back.
Lim's use of paragraph breaks captures Sarah's movement as much as it slows time down, compelling the reader to take in breaths, falling into Sarah's rhythm. It's simply breathtaking. Furthermore, a whole study could me made of how Lim employs ellipses, caesuras, sentence fragmentation, and pages of white space.
But Fog & Car is no lifeless formalist exercise. Every word serves greater concerns, that is, attempting to define what love means, what solitude is, how to heal, how to make sense of meaninglessness. Jim, while picking at his scabs, and digging the lint from his navel, takes enlightening philosophical turns. Reflecting on what it means "to live alone," he decides it had meant "a life directed interiorly, shaved of all other perspective." He'd set his house to be a "simple machine, a portal made of comfort and minimum decoration, to transport [him] to the nation where [he] had lived, named Mind, peopled by characters called Memory and Dream." It is Jim's depletion, forced by the huge energy expenditure of a hermit's life, which ushers his awareness that he's failed to realize his ambitions. And he ultimately learns that "self-knowledge was a myth of varying degrees of falsehoods."
If Lim's focus remained here, that is, on the contrast between Jim and Sarah's ways of handling their divorce, Jim wavering between navel-gazing and nostalgia, Sarah allowing everything to fall apart, it would have been enough. But the narrative, in a manner at times astounding and often confounding, takes off in unexpected directions, much like the dream-logic of a David Lynch film. The mysterious twist begins when Sarah discovers a lost friend of Jim's, named, appropriately enough, Frank Exit. Through a series of serendipitous encounters all threads somehow intertwine. How Lim manages to negotiate the reversals, to maintain believability, to take the reader with him, is only part of his success, for it is, ironically, the story's lack of resolution that brings satisfaction.
Divided into three sections, "Mirror," "Marriage," and "Mirage," Fog & Car masterfully navigates the subtext beneath dissolved relationships, paradoxically uses silence to create form. It balances, albeit in a detached tone, compassionate depictions of moral dissolution with Murakami-styled fabulist plot departures, dramatic reversals, and coincidental connections. It leaves the reader with a balled up jumble of narrative threads, but in such a sophisticated and befuddling manner as to force Murakami's own mind into a tailspin. Fog & Car is an extraordinary debut.
a theory of everything
Poems by Mary Crockett Hill
Autumn House Press, January 2009
Paperback: 63pp; $14.95
Review by Roy Wang
This boldly titled collection is split into cleverly named sections, such as "everything before us," "in spite of everything," and "the end of everything," so that we immediately get the impression that we will be taken through a giant landscape of image and emotion. However, we are misled in the scope; the landscape presented is largely personal, the everything particular to her universe. The titular poem suggests she will relate the universe to ourselves, not that the universe (or perhaps more specifically, string theory) is a metaphor for our lives, which is perhaps more the case with these poems.
That said, the poems are quite good, full of curious, self-aware observations that escape the notice of most people. And perhaps most impressively, Hill keeps the heart front and center, able to render her questions emotional without pathos or sentimentality. The lead poem uses a casual, wondering tone to achieve this:
I also believe it has something to do with dogs.
For who else has such capacity to forgive
an entirely other species? Well, yes, God
but I don't mess around with God.
So in my theory, the wet nose of a dog
fits in the space where our heart has been cut out.
The simpler poems are really the strongest here, able to get their points and emotions through clearly. Hill has a good sense for rhythm, and the shorter poems allow her various effects to reinforce the meaning. Consider:
Must we flap our way windward – feathers
whirling like confetti, always muscle, always straining, always
honk, honk, honk, honk?
These poems also allow her stand-out lines to well, stand out. A few examples include, "love for babies is a stout brown goose rife with worry," "the careless abundance of orange," and "let all this suffering be about something / other than suffering or math."
The poems that feature longer lines and denser imagery allow Hill to mull some interesting ideas and places. Body odor, the welfare of fleas, how to extend charity to crazy people – these are all engaging enough, but the turns at the end fall a little flat, lacking a sufficiently strong cognitive echo. Take the end of one such poem, "and above, a speckled bird / holds whatever she's forgotten in the dusk of his ruby red throat." It holds most of the hallmarks of a good ending, but it just doesn't quite work. Perhaps it's the surfeit of r's, or that the line runs the same length as the preceding ones, but in the end it fails to engage us, to digest the perspective she has labored for.
However, the best of these longer ones does manage to bring it all together. In "Wes," we have some good single lines, a well-paced recounting of events, but most importantly, a genuine strangeness that distorts what should be a normal encounter into something that touches us beyond expectation. It helps that the last lines work: "'You have everything here. Everything.' / And I can't help thinking, what in the world could he mean?"
This question captures the fundamental essence of these poems that search for a frame of reference that might answer a rather perplexing life. It is a shame that, like many poets who appeal to science metaphors, the full potential is not reached. For example, "Newton's Cradle" highlights the presence of these toys on rich men's desks, with no nuance of oppositional forces or sublimation. It is hard to find the theory of everything when you can't see the connections.
Still, a theory of everything is very good work, full of direct, interesting poems. The main shortcoming is only one of ambition. Perhaps she lost sight of the global structure in compiling the poems, or merely overstretched in the title and introduction. Either way, Mary Crockett Hill's latest collection is well worth reading, and I look forward to her next book delivering fully.
Written on the Sky
Poems from the Japanese
Translated by Kenneth Rexroth
New Directions, April 2009
Paperback: 96pp; $12.95
Review by Vince Corvaia
These ancient Japanese poems, translated by Rexroth and selected by Eliot Weinberger, are mostly about love, and one who has never loved would be well advised to avoid them. The heartache in many of them is palpable, both through imagery and direct statement. Several, though, are nature poems keenly observed, as in this one by Fujiwara No Sueyoshi (1152-1211):
The crying plovers
On darkening Narumi
Beach, grow closer, wing
To wing, as the moon declines
Behind the rising tide.
But for the most part, these are laments from lovers past or lovers in turmoil, and can be as short as two lines, as this by Empress Yamatohime (7th c.): "Others may forget you, but not I. / I am haunted by your beautiful ghost."
Kenrei Mon-in Ukio No Daibu (12th c.), writing as a lover in turmoil, combines simile with direct accusation:
My heart, like my clothing
Is saturated with your fragrance.
Your vows of fidelity
Were made to our pillow and not to me.
The despair of love is an equal opportunity tormentor. Here is Fujiwara No Atsutada (d. 961), in which there is no room for the natural world to impose itself:
I think of the days
Before I met her
When I seemed to have
No troubles at all.
And Lady Horikawa (12th c.), whose beautiful language is a testament to all of the poems here as supremely translated by Rexroth:
How long will it last?
I do not know
his heart.
This morning my thoughts are as tangled
with anxiety
as my black hair.
Dear Apocalypse
Poetry by K.A. Hays
Carnegie Mellon University Press, February 2009
Paperback: 88pp; $15.95
Review by Cyan James
Dear Reader,
Please read Dear Apocalypse. Please read it carefully, with attention to talons, to feathers, to the complicated ways of both God and migratory pathways. (Perhaps they're the same thing? Perhaps K.A. Hays thinks they're the same thing?)
You don't have to start at the beginning. But if you don't, you'll miss Hays's apocalypse, flayed out and intellectually parsed in her "Letters" section. Everything after that is the aftermath and fall-out, including the hands-on Middle Western earthiness of the "Labors" section, and the slow mental withdrawal of the "Mind" section. Finally, all that are left are the birds, flitting over disaster or weightlessly succumbing to it.
These birds of hers aren't the canaries that died as little warning flares in our mines. They're the flags left flying after the dust settles, and it's their rustling and unease that gives this collection of poetry its loft and tension. These are poems concerned with airspace and the spaces within the mind.
Consider one of the poems I most believe in, "Letter from the End of the World." I'm betraying the power and craft of the poem's set-up by giving away the ending, but I'm going to do it anyway.
Meridians, you who guided and lulled us,
we accuse you.
Your spins left circular runnels
in the sky, through which we can see the great arbiter,
as bland and ready as a cast-iron pan – in whose image
we fear, squinting, we were not made.
There's an admirable precision of language here, and the force of a powerful image, the banding meridians, peeling back to confront us with what we do not even believe. Note how Hays slips "squinting" into that last line. Gorgeous!
This is poetry positing birds as prophets, and humans as just another disorderly flock upon the planet. "Some think after our extinction / earth might be calm – but I doubt it," Hays claims in "Letter from the Afternoon." And we're inclined to believe her. We, too, may feel like sitting down with her to "talk epistemology with something ugly/and inanimate: the earth, for example."
The earth itself and what grows upon it and lives there become Hay's way to interpret our own mindsets and meanings. She hints that it may be better to go through life like a turtle, piled in mud upon other turtles "to stay alive by being nearly dead," instead of being dragged under like a hapless duck floating upon the clear surface.
Loss and rot – and not just random accident – become themes as well, precisely conveyed in images as neat as the split-heart footprint a passing buck leaves in the snow. They're even wished for, as when Hays begs in "Exodus" for "any mass / rebellion of the quiet functioning things." These are poems with impact and after-shock that awe with their precision.
If they fail at all, it's towards the end, when Hay's images and references begin to fade into catalogues closer to a bird-watcher's life list than fully realized poems imbued with the meaning instilled in the earlier sections. A few weaker poems attempt to blend pilgrimages, religious imagery, and birds, but when dealing with some of these often-cited themes, the poems and symbols fail to crystallize or surprise.
Even then, though, Hays's language stuns. Tea is "peppery gold clairvoyance"; swans are "plump and unholy, loaded up / with bone and blood and pipes / that allow, for the moment / their thousand piccolo calls / and the mess that pours through them."
The language is the light bone inside these poems, and this flock of poems is going to fly a long way. Listen to them before they're gone!
Memoir by Candida Lawrence
Unbridled Books, June 2009
Paperback: 316pp; $23.95
Review by Christina Hall
Candida Lawrence's fourth collection of memoirs feels real and honest. From the opening chapter on her first college level paper to the closing chapter on her eighty-four-year-old sister's unpredictable romance, Lawrence seems to tell it how it is, although she considers herself "the one in the family who is a veteran embroiderer on reality's edges."
Perhaps the feeling of truth is all a credit to Lawrence's talent for writing intriguing and beautiful biographical prose. After all, the first chapter could be an essay on creative non-fiction. In "Everything She Does, and Says, and Is;" Lawrence is a young college student, asked to write 1,000 words on a member of her family. She knows she should write "a Reader's Digest saccharine ode to a member of one's family," but can't bring herself to write what is expected of her because she dislikes "every member" of her family. She has a particular grudge against twisting the real truth to create a fictional truth, due to her famous journalist father's articles with her as the primary subject. "He came in free," she writes, "in a newspaper, a place where I fervently believe truth must live, with fiction about a real daughter." Lawrence includes examples of her father's essays with her version of the truth as a rebuttal. Her version is more direct, less pretty, and thus, more real. Or so her straightforward and harsh writing style makes us believe.
The reason Lawrence refers to herself as an "embroiderer on reality's edges" is because of the perfection she attained in the "art of lying" when she kidnapped her own children. Her third chapter, "Vanishing: 1965," reads as a how-to guide to disappearing with your children. Brilliant and brutal, Lawrence details the steps taken in order to remove her children from a home with a verbally abusive and inappropriately intimate father. Written in the second person point of view ("While you are still in the life you are leaving, the Before, you will be acting a role . . . There will be a lot more lying in your future."), she sounds like an expert, a professional. The authoritative voice Lawrence adopts here adds to the truthful and honest feel of the book.
Whether Candida Lawrence is subdued and factual, as in the reliving of her abortion, or surreal and absurd, like her rendition of the death of an Ortolan Bunting, her memoirs are as fascinating as fiction while maintaining an almost unprecedented feeling of complete and utter reality. And our response is similar to hers when she is at one point faced with an interesting comment from a friend: "Should I congratulate him for his honesty, slug him for his rudeness, try to walk away, faint with shock?"
The Winter Sun
Notes on a Vocation
Essays by Fanny Howe
Graywolf Press, March 2009
Paperback: 196pp; $15.00
Review by Cynthia Reeser
Fanny Howe, author of more than two dozen books of fiction and poetry and two collections of essays, comes forth with a poignant new collection of essays in The Winter Sun: Notes on a Vocation. Hers is an idea-driven collection that reveals her pursuit of the writing life, her "vocation that has no name." The Winter Sun is ultimately a necessary work that finds its own moment in time both by looking back to trace the flight pattern Howe has traversed as an author, and by analyzing the means at which we come to arrive in the present.
Time as past, present, future and eternity recurs throughout the nine essays, which tend to build upon one another: each essay provides a background for the material that follows. In this way, each work in the collection is dependent on the others to form a coherent whole, even though each could well stand alone. Together, the essays read like the parts of a symphony, with recurring themes and counterpoints providing balance and support for those found in other sections. Time, for instance, is the trope that appears with some regularity, initially in "The Message," whose opening reveals a perspective concerning the nature of the individual as it can be interpreted against past, present and future, along with that of the world and its inhabitants:
If you could take my hand and lead me along the streets and paths with your free hand outstretched and finger pointing to a future place and say, That is where we are going. Then even if what I saw ahead was chaos and pain, I could think, There is no reason to fear after all.
If you could say, We will have to travel along separate roads battered by tumultuous weather, disappointment, starvation, hospitals, jails, and physical pain, but we are going There, to that point you see up ahead. There is where we will be together at the end.
Look, see our future out there?
Then I would be able to say now, All will be well.
Of events to come, Howe writes, "The future is only the past turned around to look at itself." It is this sensibility – that of the blurring of past with present – that informs much of her perception. From her World War II childhood through her involvement in the Civil Rights movement, Howe writes the history of her experience.
The events comprising the fabric of that history and thus her path as a writer – her experience growing up in World War II Boston, her father's position as a defense attorney for Harvard professors accused of charges by the House Un-American Activities Committee, her friendship with Robert Lowell, her meeting the Dalai Lama, and many more – provide her with a forum for discourse. Light functions as a central metaphor, informing Howe's early experience. She describes her first sense memories as culminating ultimately in a synaesthesia, with the audible, visible and other senses working in concert to form a hypersensitive perception. In "Branches" she writes,
It was through my window facing onto [an Episcopal convent] that the sun fell around the walls as a living presence that I called (secretly) God. Whether it was cold, yellow, white, warm, orange, or a spread of violet, that light was my surrounding other. I now suppose it was equivalent to the geistige that the philosopher Edith Stein describes as being always present to consciousness; it refused to go away, and it refused to be located.
As an early sensory experience, light paralleled the events of the wartime climate and illuminated the young author's sensibility. The dramatic Boston sky is compared directly with the events of war ("The war contributed to every shadow and drop"), and the light without is a near-physical presence. The awakening of her consciousness to the natural world as an entity endowing her development lends to discourse on the individuation of consciousness and identity, which is formed "Like the sky dappling the cover of a river with refractions and reflections of all kinds." The sun, its light, is an influence over all.
Jacques Lusseyran, author of And There Was Light, who shared a similar fascination with light, was blinded in early childhood. In "Person, Place, and Time," Howe writes of the French author that "The first thing he discovered, soon after his accident, was that there was a source of light that was not the sun; it hid within his body; he was flooded by it and because of it, he felt the presence of others." The internal light may be read as spirit, or consciousness, or perhaps even a state of self-awareness. Howe ultimately explores the metaphor of light and of consciousness, how it informs the individual, and the individual's place in history, and time.
In circumscribing the events of her life, Howe narrates a past that lends to thoughtful reflection, both in her own writing and for the reader. Her style juxtaposes narrative with insight and experience, allowing the reader to draw his own conclusions. In offering up these poignant moments from the past, Howe consistently connects them with the present. Her writing is multi-layered and invites close reading just as it rewards re-reading.
Through an exploration of the writings of Simone Weil, Michel de Certeau, Jacques Lusseyran, Sara Grant, Antonia White, Socrates and others, Howe probes questions of the internal light, of philosophy and time. Howe is a philosopher, an examiner of experience: both her own and others'. In "The Land of Dreams" she writes, "For we gather and discard simultaneously as we move in time"; life requires a constant shucking of the present for moving into the future, and the simultaneous gathering of knowledge and understanding that happens along the path of experience. Howe's voice is strong, clear and reasoned; she draws from a fascinating wealth of experience, thought and analysis, and her writing rewards close reading.
Live with Meaning. Die with Passion.
Nonfiction by Fumitada Naoe
One Peace Books, September 2009
Hardcover: 160pp; $19.95
Review by Cyan James
Do you ever listen to your parents' advice? Fumitada Naoe, a minority displaced in 1980s-era Japan, certainly tried to. On page 9 of his strange, elliptical, memoir-cum-self-help-book, his mother tells him "Rich people and poor people all eat the same grain of rice. The time given to them is also completely the same. You have an enormous amount of time left. So it's harder to find a reason for not being able to achieve."
Naoe uses the rest of his 160 pages mostly telling us what he's done with his time, and how we should spend our own time. His advice – sometimes edging toward simplistic bromides, sometimes pithy insight – comes sandwiched between photojournalist Takashi Owaki's grainy, black and white photographs of street children and everyday life. (We'll get to Owaki later.)
His greatest puzzlement, Naoe tells us, was what to do with his time. Why was he even alive? His existential quest brought him more satisfaction once he realized he inevitably would die along with the rest of us. At a former girlfriend's funeral, he remembers insisting that a pitifully askew portrait of her be straightened. From then on, he decided to find dignity, even a mission, in bringing affordable, customized funeral services to Japan, where expensive, highly ritualized services failed to give grieving families much choice.
Willpower, creative thinking, and discipline launched his business into the 30 million dollar range by the time he was 27, and the grit and details of how that happened (though he remains a little reticent) are what really captivate me. Naoe dishes out these details in brief chunks sandwiched between pages of sometimes simplistic general advice. He labels each section with headers like "Use the fluctuations of your heart as a springboard," and bolds the advice that really matters: "Decide on your own what matters to you. Do not break promises you make to yourself."
Unclear purpose and mismanagement of time is what stymies so many people, Naoe concludes. He urges readers to follow his example: Live life. Establish independence. (For example, in one of his testimonial sections, Naoe relates how he bankrolled his funeral business by taking out heavy credit card loans rather than seeking angel investors or cheaper bank loans, because he wanted the responsibility and risk to remain firmly his.) Love yourself. Look cool. Divide your day and life into manageable sections with achievable goals. Prioritize. Anticipate difficulties and accidents.
Nothing revolutionary, true, but good, solid advice we could all afford to reflect upon. Naoe seems to write to slightly younger people, in hopes of inspiring them, and they do seem his most likely audience, since they, too, still have so many years to live. Perhaps Owaki's photographs – usually scenes of Asian street life, particularly portraits of children – are meant to speak to this demographic as well. They're beautifully composed images, though they don't seem to support Naoe's text in any particular way.
I find myself skipping some of the photographs, and toning out while reading the more general self-help advice. It's the insight Naoe gives about himself that I really care about. Towards the book's end, he even includes examples of charts that help him plot his day. In sum, this is an odd book, easily read, but not quickly mastered.
Naoe closes with an injunction that would probably make his mother proud, telling us to pursue what stirs our souls, to share ourselves, to begin "to die with passion."
Songs of Love, Moon, and Wind
Poems from the Chinese
Translated from the Chinese by Kenneth Rexroth
New Directions, April 2009
Paperback: 96pp; $12.95
Review by Vince Corvaia
This collection of Chinese poems, translated by Kenneth Rexroth and selected by Eliot Weinberger, is review-proof. These poems have endured centuries and still stand as models of economy and beauty. All a reviewer can do is offer excerpts from some of the most memorable of them.
Su Tung-P'o's "Thoughts in Exile" perfectly captures the mindset of one who can never return to his beloved homeland. He watches "[t]he phoenix and the snowy swan / Cross the heavens in their migrations," free to wander and to return to their homes. The dilemma is articulated explicitly when Tung-P'o writes, "I am forbidden to visit the Western Lake. / There is no place else I want to go." In the end, he has only his art, which must suffice: "But nobody can stop me / From writing poems about the / Mountains and rivers of Wu." Sadness and beauty encompass the poem and make it representative of the whole of this collection. Rexroth's translation expertly captures the simplicity and beauty of the language.
Mei Yao-Ch'en's "An Excuse for Not Returning the Visit of a Friend" is, on the other hand, lighthearted even while the friends of the poem remain separate. The dilemma is that the speaker has two small children who "hang on my clothes / And follow my every step." The front door is as far as she can get. "I am afraid / I will never make it to your house."
Spring with a capital "S" is a prevalent season in these poems. In the loveliest of them, "Spring Ends," Li Ch'ing-Chao writes of the passing of Spring and the passing of a loved one, or perhaps the end of a love affair: "It is the end of the time / Of flowers." The speaker lacks the will to comb her own hair: "He no longer exists. / All effort would be wasted." The last five lines encompass all that is beautiful and sorrowful about this and so many of these poems, all of which deserve to be read and treasured slowly and often:
I hear that Spring at Two Rivers
Is still beautiful.
I had hoped to take a boat there,
But I know so fragile a vessel
Won't bear such a weight of sorrow.
From the Paris of New England
Interviews with Poets and Writers
Nonfiction by Doug Holder
Ibbetson Street Press, January 2009
Paperback: 133pp; $18.50
Review by Jeanne Lesinski
At a time when many newspapers – if not going out of business altogether – have cut arts coverage, it's reassuring to see that poet Douglas Holder works as the arts editor for The Somerville News, in Somerville, Massachusetts, a city on the outskirts of Boston and Cambridge. From the Paris of New England is a collection of Holder's "Off the Shelf" column interviews and Somerville Community Access television show "Poet to Poet: Writer to Writer" interviews with literary figures, many of whom live in this city. The literary luminaries in this volume include Martha Collins, Mark Doty, Timothy Gager, Miriam Levine, Dick Lourie, Afaa Michael Weaver, Marc Widershien, and twenty-two others.
Readers will likely find something of interest among the varied genres and experiences represented here, especially because Holder knows how to ask the important questions. He often inquires about inspiration, pivotal life experiences, themes, accessibility, talent, and craft. For example, when plied about his writing habits, Marc Widershien answered, "I wrote between the lines of my existence," and about advice to novice poets, "Think of everything you do as grist. Talent is vital, but study, experiment, self-discovery through art are indispensable." Other writers were equally forthcoming on subjects important to them.
In his interview with Hugh Fox, Holder asked Fox how he is able, when reviewing works, to get "to the essence of a book with such few words." As Fox stated, "Before I go to bed I always read a few things. Then I just react to it. It's funny; it is like I listen to an inner voice. The inner voice tells me what to write."
My inner voice told me that the interviews in From the Paris of New England may pique the interest of readers who know little or nothing about the writers included, while those who already have some knowledge of them might prefer the longer, in-depth interviews that literary journals often publish. Unfortunately, the inelegant book design and the typographical inconsistencies and errors also mar what is an otherwise interesting book.
Stories by Amelia Gray
Featherproof Books, August 2009
Paperback: 144pp; $12.95
Review by Brian Allen Carr
Amelia Gray is not Amelia Grey. Grey writes romance blockbusters with titles like A Duke to Die For, and Gray's debut AM/PM is anything but a blockbuster. I'm not even sure if it's a book. It might be an indefinable thing.
A patchwork of form-rejection sized vignettes, AM/PM is billed by Featherproof Books as a flash-fiction collection that follows, "the lives of 23 characters across 120 stories." In their promotional material, Featherproof claims that, "If anything's going to save the characters in Amelia Gray's debut from their troubled romances, their social improprieties, or their hands turning into claws, it's a John Mayer concert tee." But that's a bit misleading. The 23 characters do need saving, but the tee only has a cameo in the vignette titled "AM:80":
Good morning John Mayer Concert Tee! You seem to have weathered the past few days rather poorly. Your cuffs are split, you're stained at the neck. The graceful visage of The One Who Will Play the Smooth Guitar is sullied by dirt scrub and bent into a permanent, unnatural shape.
John Mayer Tee. Our hero?
To truly understand AM/PM, you must understand how it was conceived. In Gray's own words from her interview with Orange Alert:
AM/PM is a collection of 120 pieces ranging from vignettes to short-short stories. I wrote one in the morning and one at night every day for two months in the summer of 2007. The editing of the book didn't include much of a selection process because most of the stories did make it through edits and into the final copy.
That's the literary-interview equivalent of a shoulder shrug, hair flip, and a drag off a cigarette followed by the phrase, "I just wake up looking like this." Featherproof must agree. They feed into the confident disposition. Because while every vignette in AM/PM sits lonely on the page, the head shot of Gray is postcard sized and forces the "About the Author" credits onto a page of its own.
To be fair there is some fun writing in this debut. "AM:58" for instance:
Missy had legs, and she knew how to use them. She slid them into jeans or wrapped a skirt around them. She walked with her legs to the grocery store. She used her legs to help haul everything up the stairs and into her kitchen, and she used her legs to walk back into the bedroom and back into bed. It was easy to use her legs, she thought, drifting off.
Gray also writes some pretty nice mock-self help sketches, as evidenced in "AM:72"
Are you growing mistrustful of others? Do you suspect your wife does not actually have cancer? Is every trip to the mailbox an exercise in loathing and remorse? Are your coworkers having trouble finding anything interesting to say when they talk about you behind your back? Do you deeply despise people who possess many of the same opinions and motives as your own?
But I'm not sure how this collection works as a whole. I'm not sure that there is enough time to truly establish any meaning from page to page. I'm not sure that there is enough of a thread to justify their being lumped together. Is there a story? Is there a lager fiction at play? Or is it just a multitude of jump cuts? No panoramas? No views?
I do admit that at some level it's an intriguing ride – in the same way that Invisible Cities is structurally attractive – and I would recommend taking a gander at it. If nothing else you should hop over to Featherproof's site for the free mini-book version of AM/PM. It includes five of the vignettes you'll find in the full-length, which might be the perfect amount of these gems to digest at a time. You won't get carpal tunnel of the eyeball. You won't get to thinking, "This again," every time you turn the excessively-white page.

The NYPD arrested a woman and questioned a second grade student at a public school in Far Rockaway, Queens, after a school safety agent found a handgun and ammunition in the boy's bag.
Police confirmed that the gun was a .22 caliber semiautomatic pistol. It was found Thursday just after 10 a.m. at the Wave Preparatory Elementary School.
Police said it is not clear if the 7-year-old boy even knew the gun was in his bag. He also had a flare gun in the bag.
No one was hurt, authorities said. The school was put under a lockdown during the investigation.
On Friday, police announced the arrest of the boy's mother. Deborah Farley, 53, faces weapons and endangering the welfare of a child charges.

Turban --> Tulip
Advantages: pretty flowers
Disadvantages: none
...If I asked you to associate a place name with tulips, you?d probably sing in chorus ?Tulips from Amsterdam?. Nowadays this association is justified, the tulips have indeed become a symbol for the Netherlands. In Keukenhof, the largest bulb flower park in the world (32 hectares), which was founded in 1949, 4.5 million tulips in 100 varieties bloom every year.
Yet, the tulip is not an endemic...

Review of Tulips
Totally Tulip
Advantages: Beautiful flowers, easy to grow
Disadvantages: Can develop disease
...There are a great many wonderful plants and flowers on our earth and my favorite of them all is the Tulip, it may not be the most exotic or exciting of plants but I think it is one of true, simple beauty, one that is a dream to grow and a marvel to display. I've loved Tulips since I was a girl and my mother grew them in our garden, at first they seemed so plain, single flowers, bright in colour...

Review of Tulips
Tulips from Amsterdam
Advantages: A beautiful Spring bloom
Disadvantages: None
...As we head into the Spring months it is good to realise that we have the beauty of the spring bulbs to look forward to. Many of the supermarkets and florists have potted bulbs on sale already which are fairly inexpensive.
Tulips have to be a favourite with many, there are so many varieties which offer a wonderfully attractive display of colour.
Last year I planted some dwarf tulips in pots...

A deputy has been fired in connection to a bar brawl in Prescott in December 2012.
Yavapai County Sheriff Scott Mascher said the Personnel Review Board met on May 7 to review the administrative investigation surrounding the actions of Deputy Mark Boan on Dec. 22, 2012 at the Moctezuma's Bar in Prescott.
YCSO said the final report was completed this week and submitted to Mascher with the recommendation to fire Boan and he was fired on Friday.
In March, the court ordered the release of an unredacted report by the Prescott Police Department on a bar brawl involving Prescott Valley officers, according to the Yavapai County Sheriff's Office.
[Click here to read the full unredacted report (PDF)]
Mascher said the investigation of a motorcycle club began when a Glendale man claimed he was assaulted by club members in Prescott on Dec. 22, 2012. Investigators later learned the members of the club were off-duty law enforcement officers.
Earlier this week, Prescott Valley Police Chief Bill Fessler said he was at the center of a conversation that prompted a biker brawl but denies throwing any punches.
Fessler told authorities that someone else got a hold of Justin Stafford at the bar, leaving him with a bloodied and bruised nose.
Following an initial investigation by Prescott police officers, the case was turned over to the Department of Public Safety by then Prescott Police Chief Mike Kabbel.
DPS said it's wrapping up its investigation of the fight. Mascher said once he gets the final report from DPS, he'll determine what administrative action will be necessary.
Both Fessler and Yavapai County sheriff's employee Bill Suttle say a fellow officer hit Stafford, but they didn't know his name.
Suttle says he broke up the fight and immediately sent the law enforcement officer to the hotel where they were staying.

St. Martin's True Crime
They came from different backgrounds, but when Helen Golay and Olga Rutterschmidt met in the 1980s, they became fast friends. For decades, they made a game of engaging in petty crime—bad deals, insurance fraud, robbing wallets. But after years of dabbling in theft, they came up with a way of making their pocketbooks even fatter. They found a way to make murder pay…
It was a plan out of Arsenic and Old Lace: Befriend a homeless man, place life insurance policies in his name—and then have him killed. Their scheme worked once…but then police started to notice a pattern. Helen and Olga were discovered, and in front of a court of law, their coldhearted pact to kill and cash in would finally be exposed.
Chapter 1
"Bingo! We Hit Pay Dirt!"
Tuesday, June 21, 2005. The summer solstice. June 21 marks the longest day of the year and is officially the first day of summer in the Northern Hemisphere. For most peo ple, the day represents the occasion when the bountiful harvest yields its abundant fruit. This day, in 2005, was also that of June's full moon, sometimes called the Honey Moon, because it's the best time to gather honey from hives.
That night in 2005 started out beautifully with the bright full moon lighting up the city of Los Angeles, California, shining overhead

She's in New York tonight, playing her Big Apple debut. Her haha, i'm sorry EP, Bandcamp'd and Complex-premiered this week, shows off her winsome approach. "Okay Cupid" remains the draw, thanks to its pitch-perfect video, but the standout track is "Ay Shawty: THE SHREKONING"—one would think that might get its title trimmed if worked as a single—a call-and-response with male suitor Dankte over lilting SELA production that works as well as any flirtation on wax in recent memory. Pryde beseeches "The birds and bees are a mystery, teach me" in one breath and warning "Forget that you never met me/ I bet that when you do, you will regret wanting to be next to me." Call it blush rap if you need to label it—her spin on "Call Me Maybe," anchored by GRANT's elongating the irresistible strings of the original, does as good a job of reproducing Carly Rae Jepsen's crush-capturing ditty as any of the thousands of covers out in the wild.
Andy Hutchins on Kitty Pryde, making her NYC debut tonight.
The most interesting thing about this piece to me was that apparently John Green and I both saw an MC Paul Barman comparison in what Kitty is doing (I talked about that in this post). So hey, I'm not the only one! I'm gonna go ahead and take that as confirmation that I'm not crazy and that comparison really does make sense.
And also, it's cool that she's playing New York, but she really needs to play DC or someplace else that I can actually get to. I never go to shows anymore, but I'd make an exception to see Kitty Pryde. For sure.

Four senators have officially resigned this semester for a variety of reasons. (jnaries Kano resigned in Monday's senate meeting, say ing he was preparing I for graduate school. He added that there were just "personal reasons." 'The people who resign usually have legitimate reasons," said Mandy Medina, coordinator for student government. "And it's not an easy thing to do because they're in the public eye." "It's pretty challenging," Medina said. 'They have a lot of requirements to meet." These requirements range from semester goals, area council duties, office hours, legislation, emphasis weeks, committees Gillespie appears on History Channel By Mark Cray news editor The Signpost Weber State University criminal justice professor Kay Gillespie is a more recognizable face throughout the nation thanks to his appearance on the History Channel last week. Gillespie appeared on "Modern Marbles: Death Devices," a program on forms of capital punishment, for his expertise on executions - firing squad executions in particular. The program aired twice during the week. Gillespie said he is considered an expert on firing squads due to his studies on the topic and because Utah is one of only three states where a firing squad execution is still available. Idaho and Oklahoma are the other two. "It doesn't take much," Gillespie said. Gillespie has witnessed the last five executions in Utah, four of which have been by lethal injection, and the other by firing squad. That last execution via firing squad was of John Albert Taylor in 1996. Taylor was convicted of raping and murdering a girl in Washington Terrace one day before her 12th birthday. Taylor had told the media that he chose death via firing R T A and activities to evaluations and advising. "Senate requires a lot of time," Medina said. For this reason, many senators feel like people need to know what they're getting into before they run for senate. "People aren't always absolutely prepared," said Quinn Campbell, HonorsBIS Senator. "Even I feel overwhelmed at times, but people need to know up front what's re quired and that it'll take some give and take." David Moses, African American student senator, feels like the senate position is only worth it if you run to help the students. He said some people run for office for the wrong reasons. "When students run for student government positions, they should do it because they want to do it or they like to do it," Moses said. He was surprised at the resignations this year, but he understands there are many reasons for them. He thinks that joining for the right reasons and not just See Senate page 3 J squad to "embarrass" Utah. Gillespie doesn't think that happened.'That same day there was a hanging in Delaware, there was a woman scheduled to be executed in Illinois, but all the media was here," Gillespie said. Executions are a "complex is- sue and most don't think it's that complex," Gillespie said. Gillespie said firing squad execution, although not common throughout the nation, has been the main mode of execution in Utah. Four-fifths of all Utah executions have been by firing squad. "It's a quick, efficient method," he said. When a firing squad execution takes place, the victim sits in front U "It helps my credibility and academic interest.

Aside from seeing himself on the television program, Gillespie was also intrigued by it because it highlighted . his great grandfather, John Gillespie, who was the sheriff of Tooele County and conducted an execution of Robert Sutton in the 1800s.

SHRM receives award By Danielle Blaisdell senior news reporter The Signpost Weber State University's student chapter of the Society for Human Resource Management was one of the 76 chapters in the nation to receive the Superior Merit Award given by the International Society for Human Resource Management. The award accounts for the chapter's actions during the 1999-2000 school year, and will be officially presented at a luncheon Thursday. "It's really just a nice pat on the back," said Rhonda Boren, vice president of communications for SHRM. Receiving the award demonstrates that WSU's chapter has provided opportunities for development and growth among its members. "We're a really very active club," Boren said. "We have a couple things a month that we do." Some of the activities the 14-member club are involved in include sponsoring a mock interview day for students, hosting members of the Northern Utah Human Resource Association for an annual luncheon, participating in the SHRM collegiate games, working at the annual WSU Career Fair, and inviting guest speakers to the campus. Pat Wheeler, adviser in career services, has been the adviser of SHRM since 1985 and oversees the activities of the group. "We're doing things that other R T Y - i "x. schools are just thinking about," Wheeler said. "We've been doing them for years." She talked about the mock interviews SHRM has every February. They bring in professionals in the human resource field to conduct interviews with students. Students go in and have about a 20 minute interview that the employer will critique. SHRM also serves an important role at the career fair every March. "They serve as hosts and hostesses to the employers and they'll take their place if the employers need to go meet with somebody," Wheeler said. Wheeler commented on a number of other activities they are involved in and how being in SHRM will benefit students. "It's certainly well-respected by the professionals," she said, and commented that being in SHRM can "seal the deal" with an employer. "They regard them very highly." Boren also believes being a member of SHRM can greatly benefit her future. "The networking is really great because we work with the hiring managers all around the state," she said. "The information we get from the activities that go on and the personal development is top notch." Boren also commented that the chapter took second place at the national competition last year. Any students interested in joining SHRM or learning more about the organization should contact Jason Abercrombie, club president, atjabercrombieweber.edu.

|Weber State University
|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

A bolt unlock button works with the top-tang safety to offer enhanced safety while unloading. Featuring more compact dimensions for a smaller, quicker, sleeker look and feel, and also trims weight. To ensure the stability of optics, scope bases are attached to the receiver using four screws per base. Innovation is the Browning tradition, and the X-Bolt is just the latest example.
