Adrienne Rich: Yes, I do, and I usually say to them—which I also believe to be true—"You were changing your life and you read my book or you read that poem at a point where you could use it, and I'm really glad, but you were changing your life." Somehow when we are in the process of making…
This passage is terrific.
I can't pretend to be familiar with Adrienne Rich's work, and yet I can feel the magnitude of her passing. It's a terrible loss for poetry, because she was, very clearly, a figure of great stature. The silver lining: she leaves behind a legacy in poetry, yes, but also in feminism. Rich has long been on my ever-growing list of poets to read. Perhaps her death is the push I needed to get her work into my hands.
Come join us as we celebrate the launch of The Hart House Review's 20th Anniversary edition, and second year of national distribution!
There will be readings by Rob Benvie, Andrew McEwan, Jenn Gardner, Stevie Howell, Aaron Kreuter, Marlena Millikin, Tracy Kyncl, and Rebecca Melnyk.
Link to the Facebook event here.
I'm excited for this! My poem will be in print, and in good company at that.
I'm happy to announce that my poem, "Suburban Attire," has been featured in the latest issue of Steps Magazine. Thanks to my editor, Eric Andrew-Gee, for the helpful suggestions.
Check it out, folks! I'm on my way.
Here's a video. Don't watch the video, it merely distracts. Scroll down instead, or close your eyes. And ignore the beginning and end notes uttered by the PBS NewsHour anchor. But please, stop and listen to Tony Hoagland read "Romantic Moment" (from Unincorporated Persons in the Late Honda Dynasty), a poem I love and am sharing to spread that love—my belated Valentine's gift to you.
Also related, and also brilliant, and also from Unincorporated Persons is "Love," a poem Tony read at SLS Montreal '11 and yet another master class in writing the funny/sad binary. He prefaced his recitation with a sly remark: "I really hate the title of this poem." As if he wasn't already my man-poet crush. I couldn't locate a video of this or any other recitation, unfortunately, so I've transcribed the poem here:
The middle-aged man
who cannot make love to his wife
with the erectile authority of yesteryear
must lower his head and suck her breasts
with the tenderness and acumen of Walt Whitman.
And if the woman has lost her breasts
to the surgeon and his silver knife,
she must hump the man's leg in the dark bedroom
like a rodeo bronco rider.
Let them be hard and wet again, respectively.
Let them convince, and be convinced.
It is the kind of heroic performance
that no one will ever mention.
It is the part of the journey where the staircase gets narrow
and you must turn sideways to pass.
Over the earth the clouds mutate and roll.
The trees catch their breath for another try.
Wind rips through the dried-out grass
with a threshing sound.
The man is going under the covers.
The woman letting him.
Both of them refusing
to be stopped by shame.
All that talk about love, and This
is what that word was pointing at.
That ending couplet. That fourth stanza. Can we just discuss Tony for a quick minute? Oh, you mean that's what we're doing currently? What a guy. I'm curious to hear what people think about the fifth stanza and its place within the greater whole. And re: "Romantic Moment," you might be interested to know that the final lines Tony recites in the video ("Then she suggests that it is time for us to go / to get some ice cream cones, and eat them") differ from those in Unincorporated Persons ("Then she suggests that it is time for us to go / do something personal, hidden, and human"). How do these different endings compare to you? I find that they express roughly the same sentiments, but slightly prefer the video version for its subtlety and innocence. Send your thoughts to bzuzarte (at) gmail (dot) com. Feel free to send me Sweet Ruin and What Narcissism Means to Me as well, please and thank you, since I've been meaning to pick them up.
I'm honoured that my poem, "And Hartley Played His Violin," was published in The Hart House Review's online component. The poem will also be published in their print annual. Many thanks to the editors.
Hannah Stephenson, of The Storialist, has written a curious little poem in the voice of e-mail spam—you know, that universally despised crap collection: "you've won fake cruise tickets from this contest you never entered!" and penile/breast enhancement drugs and plain ol' porn. E-mail spam proves an unexpectedly apt mode within which to write poems of aggression or infatuation. The persistence translates well, as does the feeling that something's amiss.
The poet knows well to tread carefully in this experimental territory, lest her poem veer into gimmick. She weaves threads of spam isms (the "special offer"; an immediate, sustained sense of urgency; the wiring of funds; the denial of spam; the imperatives to "click here" and "act now"; and so on) alternately with intimate admissions ("I know that awful feeling when your body / remains indifferent to women"; "it may be difficult to stay / with a whole skin, to maintain wholeness"), and writes in the resulting tapestry a character who is by turns creepy and sympathetic. We are repulsed by the speaker's obsessive flattery, yet can't help noting that, just maybe, its underlying source is loneliness. Against our better judgment, we lend our ear.
You've realized, I'm sure, that Stephenson's spam poetic must yield essential questions of literary readership. Be honest—what is writing if not spam? Text is sent to, and received by, the reader. Writing persists. The best poets are, in a sense, spam writers: duping the reader with words that conceal truth or are otherwise empty signifiers. So is there ever a worry that writing is invasive? A pertinent question to ask when, arguably, we are witness to an oversaturation of MFA programs.
Then there is the question of requitement. Spam is most often unrequited because either there is no option to requite (e.g., "no-reply" e-mails), or the recipient knows better not to. Is writing the same way? What is the requitement of the reader? Certainly, there exist options—criticism and correspondence—but these options are currently practiced by a relative few. Most readers receive but do not send.
Perhaps, unknowingly, I've written this post as a call to act now. More long-form commentary is needed in an age where micro-writing is the norm. Let us let criticism flow. Let us write meditative letters and e-mails. Two of the most capable women I know have started a blog that records their correspondence. In their words:
This blog, whose name ["the uncounted"] emerges from the concept of "open secrets," wants to contend with structures of knowing and not knowing, speaking and not speaking. Among other things, we're interested in discussing literature, film, identity, sympathy, feminism, theory, politics, and the affects that underlie our interaction with these concepts.
Follow their example. Heed the call.
The Forgotten Dialect of the Heart by Jack Gilbert
I think this poem killed me. The last thing I remember, I was enjoying the unique imagery, and now I find myself sitting in silence, heart stopped. Maybe not murder. Maybe an orgasm.
What I admire most in Jack Gilbert's "The Forgotten Dialect of the Heart" is its beautiful specificity. The poem is an exercise in phonaesthetics of name ("Michiko," his now-deceased wife) and demonym ("French," "Etruscan," "Sumerian," "Ethiopian," "Egyptian," and "Minoan"). The symbols, too, carry specific complements: not "O Lord, thou art salt and copper" but "O Lord, thou art slabs of salt and ingots of copper, / as grand as ripe barley lithe under the wind's labor." Subjects progress from single unadorned symbols to detailed complements, and overarchingly, the poem progresses from abstraction to specificity: the italicized nouns ("Love" > "God" > "Rome" > "Michiko") in the second and third lines, for example. The specificity grows.
Specificity in poetry is a drug. Specifically, mine. Montreal in June witnessed an impossible transformation: fortunate me, in the months prior a lowly intern at Summer Literary Seminars, suddenly the teaching assistant of Tony Hoagland. Incomparable Tony Hoagland. Let's just digress for a moment, shall we? I was on high-fiving terms with Tony. I called him Tony. The great American poet Tony Hoagland? Nope, just Tony to this moi. I got a voicemail from Tony. Tony bought me a drink at an open bar. In what world…? Digression over. Back to specificity—zing!
In workshop, Tony regularly stressed the importance of particularity in poetry. Our exercises largely comprised experiments with interesting, phonaesthetic diction. His lesson recalled the "sensory particulars" of Ezra Pound's Imagism, but unlike Pound, Tony didn't present it within a framework of concision—especially helpful to me given my desire to depart from a concise poetic. I got hooked on particularity, on specificity, and ever since I've seen it grow within me. In my writing for Poets and the News, for instance, I began to notice a sharp increase in faunal imagery. I had never before entered the animal world with such poetic abandon. Happily, I discovered that it housed a rich vocabulary and a fullness of sound. The derivatives found in scientific terms are often phonetically alluring: "ducula goliath," "megapode," "superprecociality," "markhor," "capra falconeri," "imagines," "holometabolic," "exuvia," etc. Then there's the surprise, too, of nominal compounding, which offers an attractive vibrancy: "spoonbill," "caddisflies," "antlions," "lacewings," and so on. Likewise, I recently wrote a poem about a room whose interior design featured prominently, and so too did design terminology feature prominently. I came across a palette of intriguing colours and materials: "canary," "teal," "cornsilk," "acrylic," "gouache," "eggshell," "tangerine," "linen," and more. All of these words are specific in sound and meaning because their uses are so specific, and bizarrely, consequently, I've learned to embrace scientific jargon as a poetic mine.
I've also learned to appreciate my education in Linguistics as a great writing asset. I reckon it's to thank for my improved diction, what with the phonetic training and all. And who says the study of Linguistics is irrelevant with no practical career applications? I mean, of course, who besides my bank account?
"Forgotten Dialect" is a poem not only of sound sound, but of fierce intellect also. It grabs at my naughty linguist parts, a tease with implications. Where do we turn when our words lose their meaning? When semantics fails us, betrays us, leaves us just with our phonemes, morphemes, and syntagms huddled together, what do we do? This futile grasp on language, on slippery meaning, is a writer's nightmare. Maybe a poet's dream. Perhaps Gilbert's message is hopeful. Following "But what if they / are poems or psalms?" is a series of copular sentences, in which Gilbert links a given subject to unusual complements drawn throughout the poem as pictographs. The result is a section of renewed symbolism: pictographs in translation may drop their original meaning yet pick up others. The signifier divorces its signified and remarries. What is emptied can be filled again.

"experimental typography: digital iterations" by ivan alonso
If you're interested by visual poems, I urge you to follow Anatol Knotek on Tumblr and on Twitter. He shares but the best of his work and that of others. Often, Knotek's posts interface poetry with typography, as with "Repetition" (above), from Ivan Alonso's aptly named Experimental Typography: Digital Iterations series. I love me some typography, and I love me some poetry, and I love me some this—very much in the vein of Derek Beaulieu, whose work I adore.
The picture links to Ivan Alonso's website. Check it out.
Binoy Zuzarte is a graduate of McGill University who now lives in the Toronto area. He is the Social Media Coordinator of Summer Literary Seminars, and a member of Poets and the News, a collective that experiments with a more journalistic poetic process. He writes a blog that examines the interface between linguistics, social media, and literature. He is, also, largely undecided.
I finally wrote a poem on the fridge! During its composition, I had a few considerations:
- that the poem comment on the .gif medium (which I first transcribed, mistakenly yet deliciously, as ".fig medium");
- that the poem ruminate on reception; and
- that the poem play all the while with polysemy.
Needless to say, it took me a while to suss out these three details, and the precise mechanics of their interface (see what I did there!) within a single entity.
Thanks be to Katie Sehl for putting this poem together. I dedicate it to her, and to you, the reader.

What is the difference between a meatloaf and a hamburger?
- mrpotato Aug 10, 2009 05:47 PM
Recently, my friends, Dustin and Dinsey had me and couple other friends over for dinner. They had made some really tasty meatloaf with a side of salad. As we exchanged ideas for how to make our meatloafs, there was a discrepancy between what was actually a meatloaf and what would fall as a hamburger, salisberry steak etc.
My question to you all : what makes meatloaf a meatloaf and a hamburger a hamburge?
To my understanding, I've always thought the setting ingredient that makes a meatloaf was the egg binder.
Is hamburger the same thing as meat loaf but just different shape? If you made your hamburger in a loaf shape would it become meat loaf? If you took your meat loaf and shaped it in to patties could you call it hamburger ? Is it the way its cooked or there an ingredient tha changes the dish? Granted, the ingrient in each of the foods are the same, but there are also variations among burgers and loafs. What is the deciding factor that makes this meat dish fall into its respectable categories?
I'm curious what you guys think and would be obliged if someone could shed some light into this debate. Looking through McGee's book didn't help much.
re: Phurstluv
One of my favorite sandwiches as a kid was a grilled meatloaf and American cheese sandwich....sounds almost like a cheeseburger?
re: chowser
You've never had a Hawaiian hamburger....made with bread crumbs or panko maybe an egg and seasonings like meatloaf.
re: Phurstluv
Not always pineapple and teriyaki sauce. Google up Hawaiian Hamburger recipes.
Southern California: Go to Bruddah's in Gardena and they have a Hawaiian hamburger with mushroom gravy......it's a mix of hamburger, bread crumbs/panko and who knows what else, but no pineapple ring or teriyaki sauce.
TnT Aloha Cafe or Gardena Bowl... Hawaiian hamburger with gravy.
Curry House...they have a hamburger curry...hamburger is made with panko and ?...no pineapple or teriyaki sauce.....maybe it's a Japanese hamburger.
These discussions have occured recently for several versions and you can search for those. It comes down to the fact that some of US (I'm one of those!) put nothing in a burger except the meat. Anything added and it becomes meatloaf shaped like a burger. But there are other who vehemently disagree.
re: c oliver
Thank you, c o! I cannot even imagine using my meatloaf recipe, which has egg, bread crumbs, onion soup mix, ketchup & water in it, and then shaping into rounds and calling them hamburgers! Heresy!!
My hamburgers have nothing in them except ground beef, spices like salt pepper, maybe some steak seasoning, and a splash of Worcestershire. That's it. I am not one of those who would wreck a completely good hamburger by putting bread crumbs or egg in it!
re: Phurstluv
Phurstluv, thats my thoughts exactly. I don't know who else reads the spirits forum, but I feel like this somewhat borders the debate between using vodka in a martini and calling it a vodka martini.
re: Phurstluv
How about a Japanese hamburger recipe? Sounds like a meatloaf recipe to me.
re: Phurstluv
Those familiar with German cooking will recognize a meatloaf mixture sauteed as patties as Frikadellen. It has to be done on lower heat and for longer than a pan-seared hamburger, because it needs to be thoroughly cooked while maintaining a tender exterior. Salisbury steak is tougher. Frikadellen are quicker-cooking than meatloaf and convenient in that they are the perfect shape for sandwiches on buns.
re: c oliver
one of the recent discussions:
For me, a burger is must be shaped into some sort of patty form and cooked individually with direct hear and not baked in an oven for a long period of time. As for fillers and egg....it can still be a burger .....unless the filler is something like bread crumbs, crackers or oatmeal. The it instantly becomes a meat loaf to me, regardless of shape or cooking method.
FWIW...the 21 Club Burger, arguably the most famous and best burger for many who have had it, does contain eggs in the ingredients.
re: fourunder
Here's a Hamburger Steak recipe that has no Asian influence. Seems like meatloaf to me.
Here in Connecticut, it is against the law for a restaurant to call anything a hamburger that has any ingredients besides ground/chopped beef and spices. If it has extenders, fillers or other meat it is NOT a hamburger!
I agree with this standard. Meatloaf has extenders and fillers such as bread crumbs, vegetables, egg, ketchup etc. and is baked in a mass, not in individual servings.
Salisbury steak is usually individual sized meatloaf type portions, but may be made of tenderized cheap beef (rather than ground) cooked/simmered /served in a brown mushroom gravy. A 'good' salisbury steak requires a knife to cut unlike meatloaf or hamburger
re: bagelman01
A Law?? Typical state legislators!! I only say that bc I am from CT as well!!!
Meatloaf can also be made into individual servings, loaves, and they freeze beautifully. And I always remembered Salisbury steak as being made from cube steaks, one of the cheap cuts that were popularized in the '70s. I don't know what they use now, I don't eat that cut.
re: Phurstluv
A very good consumer protection law at that. When you order a hamburger in a restaurant in CT you are assured of 100% beef.
Years ago, one of my employees also owned a Duchess 'fast food' franchise (they are all in New Haven and Fairfiled counties for you out of staters). He explained to be that they liusted their burgers on the menu as 'Big D Burgers' NOT Bid D HAMburgers because at that time they were using fillers to cut costs. They had been previously fined by the state for violating the statute.
So a restaurant advertising 100% beef hamburgers in CT is no big deal, every commercially sold hamburger must be 100% beef.
The 'cube steak' you refer to as a cut, really wasn't a cut of beef, merely a slice of inferior beef that had been mechanically tenderized with lots of slits.
re: bagelman01
Sounds like a "hamburger steak" would be illegal in CT ?
re: bagelman01
My only point is don't they have better things to legislate than semantics?!
And yes, I know cube steak is not a cut of beef, but rather a tough piece that has been pierced mechanically. Either way, I'm not eating it.
re: Phurstluv
Actually the country/chicken-fried steak that I ate growing up was that same "cube steak."
And I agree with you - as usual. What BS that CT residents PAID for their legislatures to deal with this (not that any of the other states are any better). Argh.
re: c oliver
Actually, it's quite an old regulation. From back when we actually had citizen legisltors. The CT legislature was not only part-time, paid about $4,000, NUT only met every other year and passed a two year budget.
I've lots of complaints about governement, I do business in CT, NY, FL and MA. BUT Connecticut is the only state I've lived in and conducted business in where taxes from the state have been reduced when not needed>>>>Sales tax was 8% in the early 1980s and has been 6 % for the last 20+ years. The tolls were eliminated on our roads more than 20 years ago as well. The tolls could only be used to pay the road bonds, when the debt was paid, the tolls were gone.
How many thousnads of times has the George Washington Bridge been paid for?
Sometimes consumer PROTECTION laws and reegulations PROTECT the consumer. I think it's a good thing to know that if you order a hamburger in CT it will be 100% beef and not a mix with soy or other filler.
BTW>>>I wish more restaurant related regulations were standardized throughout the state.
In some cities in CT one is required to use a clean plate for every trip to a buffet or salad bar. My ex-wife was refused a clean plate at a restaurant in New Haven in the early 90s. The manager told her: 'The New Haven Health Dept. doesn't require it, so we won't provide it." My ex walked out.
t that time we lived in Hamden, and the Quinnipiac Valley Health District which served our town required the use of a clean plate.
I'd like to see government make sure consumers are protected. If we are eating at restaurants we are DOUBLE consumers. We purchase and eat/imbine that which we purchase.
Traditional meatloaf contains more than just hamburger meat, it is usually a mix a of 3 different meats (hamburger, veal and pork or other meat), whereas a hamburger is just hamburger.
re: DishDelish
Whose tradition???????????????????
That's way too big a blanket statement.
Your 3 meat mix sure isn't TRADITION in most Jewish or Moslem Homes....<VBG>
and many food lovers I know (including my wife) come from families that don't eat veal (or lamb or other baby animals) for ethical reasons.
There are traditional meatloaf recipes from the Mediterranean/Midlle East that contain Lamb----Kibbee come to mind right away.
re: bagelman01
Hey, I don't eat veal either because I think that it is cruel the way they are treated so please don't bite my head off. I said 3 meats, and that was just an example of the 3. It can just be hamburger too, or just turkey, or just chicken etc... notice I said "or other meat" which was not a blanket statement. It's okay, go ahead and read it again. It is never good to assume that an example someone uses is the specific way they make it. I just remember these 3 basic meats mentioned together in my Cook's Illustrated book. Also, this is the mix of meats you can often get when you buy a meatloaf mix from the grocery store or local butcher, which I do not do since I don't eat veal.
Here are some fellow chowhounds talking about meatloaf mixes:
re: DishDelish
Well, it's called "meatloaf mix" for a reason;-) So, really, the statement is not a blanket one, it's rather well known to be the meat mixture that many folks use. I think if you polled CH'ers and asked what 3 meats are in "meatloaf" mix, they would say beef, pork and veal. Don't take it persoanlly!
That said, I sometimes use 3 meats for meatloaf (and stuffed cabbage), but not always. If I'm using one meat, it's usually beef, or turkey.
I think of meatloaf as adding binder/filler-ie: eggs and bread crumbs.
I think of hamburger being one meat-usually beef, sometimes turkey, sometimes lamb, sometimes buffalo. No binder, no filler. Just seasoning/aromatics.
re: DishDelish
I only use a meatloaf mix of 1/2 lb beef, 1/4 lb pork, 1/4 lb. veal. Makes for the most tender & flavorful meatloaf, that we love. But it is by no means a LAW!! Lots of people like to use turkey or chicken, I don't bc I prefer the taste of pork & veal, the ground poultry lacks the depth of flavor & fat needed to be tasty & not dried out.
re: Phurstluv
I make my meatloaf using ground chicken fairly often. Instead of one big loaf though I make muffins, cuts down on the required cooking time which I think is what helps keep them moist - and the size makes for easy leftovers too.
re: maplesugar
Great idea! What else do you put in them to keep them moist & flavorful?
re: Phurstluv
I can't take credit I just played around with this recipe from Cooking Light(works with ground bison too): ttp://find.myrecipes.com/recipes/recipefinder.dyn?action=displayRecipe&recipe_id=1160601
Sorry tried to find a shorter link...no luck. Let me know if you try the recipe :)
re: maplesugar
Seems easier to me to use a scoop or your hands to form 12 meatballs to bake on a foil-lined sheet pan, rather than scouring out a muffin tin afterwards.
re: greygarious
I believe the idea of using muffin pans for meatballs is to reduce the oil splatter from the meatballs, and thus reduce the the amount of effort needed to later to clean the oven itself.....but I'll offer a solution.....line the muffin pan with foil.:-)
Personally, my method is meatballs cooked in a stainless steel greased hotel pan.....never a problem with sticking and cleans up very easily. For those who do not know what a hotel pan is, it's the insert pan you see commonly in a buffet chafing dish setup.
re: fourunder
I bake/fry my meatballs on a rack above a half sheet pan. Clean up isn't a big deal if you soak it for a little bit, and the rack comes clean in the dishwasher. When your meatballs have enough fat in them, they really don't stick at all.
re: DishDelish
I wasn't biting your head off <VBG> BUT I gladly have a sample bite of whatever you're making for dinner. It's too hot to cook tonight.
I did see your mention of other meats..........
I just have an issue of people referring to 'traditional' ways to make what is essentially a non-ethnic food. Almost all ethnicities have a baked ground meat dish, but there appears to be no American traditional meatloaf, we are too much of a melting pot.
I also would never buy meatloaf mix. I grind my own meat. My 86 year old mother taught me 45 years ago: 'never buy ground meat that you don't see ground, you don't know how old it ios, or what's really in it.'
It takes a short while to grind meat and I save money, choose the cuts and fat percentage, and can grind in onions if I'm making meatloaf, or oniuons and boiled eggs if making chopped liver.
BTW>>> I enjoy Cooks Illustrated, but 'Yankee Cooking' (and I'm born and bred in New England) is some of the most boring food in the world.
re: bagelman01
I'll second your opinion of Yankee Cooking, though I'm a transplant from Long Island. According to Wikipedia, Julia Child was raised in CA, but on New England cooking. So without that heritage/trauma (;-D) to overcome, we might not have had her enthusiastic leadership in broadening Americans' culinary horizons!
re: bagelman01
Traditional is the word that has been used in many of the recipes I have read calling for meatloaf mix so there is no need to be offended. When you try to read into what I am saying you'll get something entirely different from what I really am saying. What I was basically trying to convey is that meatloaf can be any meat, whereas hamburger is just hamburger.
I agree with you that homeground meat tastes better. I read about it in cooks ill and like to make my hamburgers that way. =)
I think that the only thing we can definitively say on the subject is that a single-serving portion of 100% ground beef, formed into a patty and grilled, is a burger, while a mixture of ground beef with any of a number of possible additives (other types of meat, eggs, bread crumbs, herbs, etc - and possibly not involving beef at all) baked in a loaf shape in an oven is meatloaf. Somewhere between these two extremes is the dividing line between the two, but that line is different for almost everyone and purely a matter of opinion.

Go bold or go home seems to be the prevailing theme this season. From ensembles to accessories, everyone is thinking the bigger, brighter and bolder the better. With spring finally upon us, it is timeto embrace this season's new trends and update our wardrobe with the latest trends, fresh from the catwalk. Here are a few hand-picked samples of the latest and great styles.
Monochrome Checks
Yes that's right, our fool-proof black and white tones are back this season and packing a forceful fashion punch in the form of monochrome checks. Marc Jacobs, Unique and Marni are leading the way here with this trend with high street behemoth Topshop bringing this style straight to us with affordable, stunning designs. Get the look with these chic and versatile trousers – perfect for taking you from the office to a night out on the town.
Pearl Jewelry
Fashion House extraordinaire, Chanel again wholeheartedly embraced the timeless and iridescent jewelry classic, the pearl in all its glory. Think big, bold, statement pieces this season. From chunky chokers through to statement cuffs, pearls are being reinvented with a modern twist. Another way to easily achieve this look is to invest in a long pearl rope necklace. Simply wrap it around your neck to achieve a chunky choker effect or use the same method on your wrist to create a cuff.
Bomber Jackets
Bomber Jackets have been reborn this season by Stella McCartney, Loewe and Christopher Kane. These light jackets are great for cool, summer evenings as well as being feminine and fun, creating a laidback look. With so many pieces available to buy, having trawled the high street and online stores, ASOS delivers with their Bellfield range of vintage outerwear.
Fluorescent Hues
As exquisitely demonstrated by House of Holland and Simone Rocha, it's time to take note and embrace neon hues. From punchy pinks to bright, luminous yellows, Fluorescent fashion is here to see us through the summer in vibrant and cheerful style. Get the look with this stunning lime green dress from Topshop or put a lick of brightly coloured varnish over your nails for a quick and easy way to achieve this style.

The Audio Production Course takes place in a working studio (Studio 501) and is designed to give the student hands-on experience in producing and engineering music. It is a highly specialized program focused on all technical aspects of sound production. This is a 12 week course that covers 3 main focus areas: Pro Tools 101, Audio Production & Spiritual Development. The first area of focus is Pro Tools, which is one of the best sounding, most widely-used audio production software in the industry; it enables you to record, compose, edit, and mix with great speed and ease. The second area of focus is Audio Production; in this part of the school students can expect to learn all about hardware equipment used in a recording school as well as in live shows. They will learn terminology which is vital for communication when working with producers, musicians, and other engineers. By the end of the school students will have a solid foundation for working in a recording studio. The third focus is spiritual development; throughout the course students will grow in a number of ways on a spiritual level with teachings such as: Walking in your Calling, Conflict Resolution, Personality Testing, Difficult Questions of Christianity, and Missions in the Entertainment Industry. The primary purpose of Studio 501 is to facilitate those with a desire to serve God in this field by imparting not only technical skills but also social and spiritual knowledge to work with others in the entertainment industry at a professional level.
Lecture Phase
Hands-on learning, we cover all theory and practical work in this phase.
Pro Tools
One of the main focuses of the APC is to teach Pro Tools. We will be using Avid's Pro Tools official courseware during the 3 months. Pro tools is some of the most widely used recording software on the market today and at the end of this course you will have a strong grasp of how to use this powerful tool.
Audio Production
In this part of the course students can expect to learn all about hardware equipment used in a recording school as well as in live music. They will learn terminology which is vital for communication when working with producers, musicians, and other engineers. By the end of the course students will have a solid foundation for working in a recording studio. They will also learn the basics of music theory and will run live sound at our Thursday Night Meetings. There will also be an opportunity to work with and record our DTS Music Track.
Spiritual Development
This part of the course is the main reason we are even learning Pro Tools and Audio Production. We want to see students who are well equipped with all of the technical knowledge they can receive in order to "GO" and make Jesus' known in the music industry. Our goal is to see students discipled and equipped in order to be a light in such a dark industry.
Work Duties
At YWAM Montana we believe in a servant-hearted attitude and lifestyle. So as a part of the APC curriculum, you will serve in different areas on our campus for 6 hours a week. You will serve in areas like: Meal prep, Meal clean-up, housekeeping, facilities/Maintenance, etc.
Worship & Intercession
Time spent in corporate worship and intercession with the rest of the YWAM campus staff and students.
School Leaders
Steve Praetzel
I began working nights and weekends in a local recording studio while on staff with YWAM, Idaho. After 4 years there, my wife, Lisa, and I were called to join YWAM in Lakeside. I have been able to serve in our recording studio since 1990. In addition to overseeing Studio 501, I also served as the director of our arts department and head of our security team for 7 years. In 1992, I began teaching and was challenged to establish the School of Audio Engineering & Production with the goal of releasing audio engineers and music producers into the music industry as missionaries. In addition, I have had the opportunity to engineer hundreds of music projects of extreme variety in both language and genre. I love what God has allowed me to be part of here in Montana.

Putting a damper in Tuesday.
My kids got in trouble at lunch. I have NEVER had a class get in trouble at lunch. Not teaching 8th grade or 3rd grade or Kindergarten. I may never have a perfect class but I pride myself on putting up a good showing in the halls and in public. We constantly get compliments from other teachers and in Specials about being well-behaved. A few friends have their moments, but as a class, I definitely work my butt off to whip them into shape.
When I walked into the gym, it was dead silent. We have lunch with one other K class and that class had suckers. I had three kids away from the group, one standing and just one with a sucker. My kid who speaks little English.
I got filled in on what went on. I heard burping. I heard throwing forks on the floor. I heard milk bubbles. I heard loud voices. I heard banging on the table.
So I did what any teacher would do, I made them apologize to the lunch aides and lunch lady and then.. I pretended to cry.
Oh, the guilt! I love the guilt.
They tried to console me. I told them I didn't want to talk to people who made me sad.
They apologized. I said I didn't want to hear it. They needed to worry about everyone in the lunchroom accepting their apologies.
I canceled the plan for a game we were going to play. "It's brand new and it was going to be awesome! But I don't play games with rude people."
Rest time was the quietest it ever was. [I actually got a lot done..]
I made them write apology notes and draw pictures that they thought would cheer up sad people.
The whole time they were working, I just kept walking around mumbling, "I really hope these apologies work." and "I hope that's enough to cheer up Mrs. So-and-so."
Too much?
Sometimes it's fun to be the bad guy.
PS: I'm not trying to make light of the situation. They were rude and they should feel bad. Which most did. I'm not going to let them get off lightly and with 5 year olds, sometimes you have to exaggerate your feelings to make sure they understand.

In the mid of mid night
I whispered
and she was born
in imagination torn
she was an image
in a cage
that I freed along
floating in the mirror
she emerged out
around me she walked about
and she had grown
to adulthood
that was equisite
still she is a whisper
but one that is heard
not alone
but in love songs
that sway out in
veritable herds.

Ambrose, Allmendinger turn in solid finishes for Richard Petty Motorsports
By admin | October 2, 2011
By Richard Allen
Although virtually all of the attention focused on drivers during the AAA 400 in Dover went to the twelve contestants in the Chase for the Championship, Richard Petty Motorsports pilots A.J. Allmendinger and Marcos Ambrose did their part to get noticed. These two drivers turned in one of the best performances their team has seen all season.
For only the third time all season, the two RPM drivers posted mutual top-10s at the end of Sunday's Sprint Cup event on the high-banked concrete track. Ambrose recorded a solid 9th place effort after running in or near the top-10 all day. Allmendinger's 7th place finish was a bit more spectacular in that he miraculously survived a spin on lap 6 to climb well up the leader board by the end of the day.
The result of today's finishes moved both RPM drivers up in the standings. Allmendinger's seventh top-10 bumped him up one spot to 14th overall in points while Ambrose's ninth top-10 landed him in 21st, two places higher than where he started the day.
The other times this season in which the RPM drivers scored top-10s on the same day were in the Coca-Cola 600 where Allmendinger was 5th and Ambrose 6th and in Watkins Glen where Ambrose won with Allmendinger coming home in 8th.
The name Richard Petty still evokes positive emotions for many NASCAR fans and to see both of the cars that carry his name to finish so well in Dover was no doubt welcomed by scores of 'The King's' followers. And more, it's good for the sport to see drivers outside the Chase make some noise during the ten race playoff.

Do you think that A.J.Allmendinger will win a Sprint Cup Series Race in 2011?

Richard, Thanks for taking notice when so many reporters concentrate on the chase drivers around this time. It's greatly appreciated by the following as you mentioned in your article. Keep up the great work! Last year at this time we were wondering if the King would even be back after what Gillette pulled. But thanks to some people that really care about the legacy and the name of which it represents. It's good to see the King. Nice Commercial with him getting back in the seat and advertising the new energy drink sponsor.
All the Best Michael R Fitts, USN retired…

Yes thanks for noticing some non chase drivers. There are 31 of them out there! Nice job AJ and Marcos.

Jodi Sta. Maria denies pregnancy rumors!
Actress Jodi Sta. Maria shoot down pregnancy rumors. In "Be Careful with My Heart," Maya(played by the actress) is pregnant, prompting fans to wonder if the actress is also expecting in real life.
"Ay hindi (Oh, no),"
"Confused lang 'yung tao sa nangyayari sa buhay ng character ko sa soap… Naa-associate nila sa real life"
Jodi's boyfriend, Jolo Revilla, also issued statement on his official Twitter:
"This is my first and final statement regarding Jodi's pregnancy issue. She is not pregnant and we are not yet married."
"What we have right now is something special and we want to keep it private because I love her so much. Kung sakaling totuo man yan, kayo po unang unang makakaalam (If in case that were true, you'd be the first to know.). God bless."

At Westmount Moving and Warehousing we're extremely proud of our service and professionalism. These testimonials attest to our commitment and performance - and we hope they assure you that you can expect the very best from our team.
Joe Gagnon, President, Westmount Moving and Warehousing
I must tell you that we have an awful lot of grateful Shriners and their ladies this morning! That is all because of you and your crew and Westmount Moving for helping us pull off this supper last night. Without your assistance the night could not have happened.
As you know our young lady and her Mom were our guest speakers. Sarah is one of the children that our club sponsored at the Shrine Hospital for Children in Montreal and over the past 3 years her surgeries have allowed her to lead a reasonably normal life. Her attendance last night was to tell the Club about her story. It was very,very heart warming and your Companies help made it all possible.
Once again, on behalf of the Waterloo County Shrine Club thank you ,your crew and your Company for such a wonderful gift of generosity.
Dave Leverette, President, Waterloo County Shrine Club.
Everything and everyone we dealt with were professional. This made the move much less stressful.
B. Wensink
The crew was exceptional! There was not one thing that could be improved upon in any aspect of the move. Thank you to everyone at Westmount.
C. Blair
Everyone in the company is very professional and know their stuff. A real group of experts!. Excellent service and I would recommend them to anyone.
J. Krajinsink

J. Sinner

Totally satisfied with your crew's professional service. Thank you so much for helping me turn this stressful situation into a pleasant one!
M. Mandry
The gentlemen were very professional and worked in a timely manner
Rochette. J
Great, great experience. My movers arrived early first thing in the morning. Very professional, friendly and helpful - I was extremely stressed about moving and not having packed properly and they ensured me that they would take care of everything. They were efficient and quick. I was informed by my landlord last minute I wouldn't get the keys to my new place until a few hours later than expected - the movers were great about it, said not to worry and arrived prior to the expected time. They put together my furniture as well that I had taken apart and were really good about it. Also asked me where I wanted stuff put when placing it in my new place.
The dispatchers and team at Westmount were also EXTREMELY great and helpful! I booked my time for a monday the second last day of the month, but found out over the weekend I couldn't move until Tuesday - the last day of the month and typically the busiest. I contacted the team and left messages over the weekend and was promptly replied to the next day and ensured they would try to fit me in and rearrange for the following day - a day I couldn't book an other company - and with no penalty.
Highly recommend for any size job!
Jenn A., Ottawa, ON
I just wanted to let you know the move has gone exceptionally well. I can't tell you how impressed Kathie and I are with the movers, Steve, Jim and Brad - these guys are first rate. Thanks very much for all your help in the process. The guys are just bringing in the remainder of the items and they do amazing work, we're really pleased.
Kathie and David McQuarrie
Michael just called to let me know everything went great, his stuff arrived and was unpacked as planned. He said he thinks it was a husband and wife team and they did a fabulous job. He's very pleased and said if we have a move coming up in the future, you'll be our first choice. I thought you'd like to know how he felt about things.
Pamela Boyard
I just wanted to say THANK YOU SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR HELP
Your guys were amazing. From the packer taking such amazing care of our stuff, to the loading guys putting all our stuff together ( who knew we actually have that much stuff hahah), to the guys coming up here and unloading. Everyone was amazing. Our stuff came here all in one piece. We are still unpacking some stuff. The unpacker guy came by and helped out alot.
The movers were amazing. They were so helpful putting the stuff back together and so polite and professional and very very hard working.
I am extremely pleased with the whole " move experience." Your help - from letting me have some boxes ahead of time to the whole move how it was handled - made it a totally easy transition
Thank you so very much indeed.
Nancy and Michael Shitta-Bey

Why I am running - What I stand for
I was raised in a family where we were encouraged to take action and be part of the solution, as opposed to just complaining about what is wrong and doesn't seem to work. Dad was active in local and state democratic politics. My mother worked both in the State House for Governor Herter, and later in the US Capitol for the Eisenhower Administration. My parents taught us by example. When my youngest sister Terri, who had Down Syndrome, was born, there were few or no resources providing education and support for children with special needs. Instead of complaining, my mother led others to form the "Peabody Parent's of Children with Special Needs." Through their leadership, policy changed for the good of all students.
I feel it is now time for me to step up and take a position of leadership and responsibility. There is a lot more right with our State than is wrong with it. Let's work together for more progress. With your vote, I would like to be part of the solution.
The following are changes I'd like to be part of:
- Accountability of both the Governor's Council, as well as the appointed justices
- Civility and Fair-mindedness Hearings should be a place to learn about potential justices, not a time of embarrassment and humiliation. I would work to restore an atmosphere of dignity and respect.
- Transparency I believe it is in the public's best interest to know who has applied for various Judicial appointments, not just the final candidate.
Where am I running
I am running in the 5th District which includes Amesbury, Andover, Beverly, Boxford, Danvers, Dracut, Dunstable, Essex, Georgetown, Gloucester, Groton, Groveland, Hamilton, Haverhill, Ipswich, Lawrence, Lowell, Manchester By The Sea, Merrimac, Methuen, Middleton, Newbury, Newburyport, North Andover, North Reading, Peabody, Pepperell, Rockport, Rowley, Salem, Salisbury, Tewksbury, Topsfield, Tyngsboro, Wenham, West Newbury, Westford, Wilmington.

Oh no! They won't make an exception?
Stacy, if you ever need to come out here, I'll watch them for you if you can time it right for my days off. And I wish I still had some of my professional maternity outfits to send to you.
Sarah, I'm really sorry about the deadline. Chrissy is right--there is no harm in at least calling. With the economy the way it has been the past few years, people and businesses are much more willing to make exceptions for paying customers.
Bridget, I'm sure you'll find something that will work, but I have to confess that your daycare was probably the third thing I thought of when you said you were pregnant, so I'm sure it's got to be weighing on you a little bit.
Lydia - you have me curious as to what the first two thing you thought were?
I am starting to tell people in real life that I'm expecting and everyone is so thrilled. I don't know why I expected people to be like . I especially wondered what my close girlfriends, the only ones who know my struggles with dbf, would say. But they are all thrilled and seem to have complete faith that I am going to be just fine no matter what. Sometimes I feel like I give off a vibe of being much stronger than I feel.
We took the kids to Toy Story 3 and I sobbed.
I have a feeling Savana will never get rid of a toy again. Seriously.
Bridget, real bravery is going forward despite your fears. You're the bravest person I know. And I have no doubt you're strong. You prove it every day.
Me-I'm a wimp. I've been covering McGraw 2 days a week for a 90 day trial thing, and we have a meeting later this week to discuss the future of McGraw IT coverage. I'm scared they're going to say it's a more permanent thing, and I just want it to end. I want to be back "home" in my own office in Goldwin Smith. I know the people there. I know the network and the procedures. I know what I'm doing (sorta) there.
Chrissy, I confess I have no idea what you're talking about. It's either that I miss pages of this thread sometimes or that I never watch the news?
I'm not taking O to see Toy Story anytime soon after the reviews. Why? Because his birthday is next month and I'm about to try to cull the toys that have been building up for the past four years to make some sense of the madness in our house. We have toys in every CORNER.
That said, yesterday we had a big reorganization project - went and bought O a new dresser and gave him the "big bed" in the guest room, along with my favorite rocking chair and a new bookshelf, so that we could "steal" his furniture for the Gus's room. I have an instant-nursery now and it's a little weird to look in there and realize I'm going to have another baby soon.
Oscar is so thrilled. He kept saying last night that his "new room is wonnnnnnderful" and said that Gus's room is also so wonderful he doesn't know where he wants to sleep.
This helped make things real for him, I think. He got all the good books in his room and Gus got all the baby and board books in his room. That was a big deal to Oscar, and to know that they're going to share but that he gets to have the cool stuff because he's big and smart
I've been put in another building here on campus for 2 days a week as a temporary 'trial' period because the IT person has opted to go to school full time to learn to shoe horses. It's a 3 year program (I think?) and he intends to eventually leave Cornell when he finishes to shoe horses for a living (talk about career change). I just don't want to be stuck here permanently. I want to go back to being in Goldwin Smith full time.
Remember I said I was stress eating like crazy cause of the bankruptcy crap?
I confess I weighed last weekend and I've crossed the 300 mark . . . going up this time. Makes me so depressed that I lost almost 60 pounds post partum and have now gained almost 40 of it back.
Not so much a kid friendly thing though...at least not this set. He pratically had a heart attack when I touched the engine (it was NOT cheap!!!). The older HO stuff would be more kid friendly.
I have to share that the carpenter showed up this morning to start finishing out our upstairs bath (we did an office/guest space addition when we moved here, didn't finish the bath, and now are doing it so we have guest space after Gus is born) and I'm ssooooo excited. I want it to be done NOW.
Krista, do you have someone to talk to? I mean, other than us . Therapy isn't over-rated. I'm so sorry you're having this kind of stress, but honestly, the way it impacts your body and soul is up to you and only up to you. The world may have your ass in a ringer from a practical (financial) standpoint but only you have control of your body and mind. In fact, that's the good bit here YOU DO have control over you, whether the rest of the world is conspiring against you, or not.
Bridget, I like the idea of a work study student, though I admit I LOVE the idea of a SAHM. Either way, it just has to be the right person, and I think it needs to be someone with experience.
I know the feeling. I lost 167 lbs after the gastric bypass 5.5 years ago. I have regained like 65-70 of that....first stress was when DH lost his job in 2006 and I gained about 15 lbs. Than when we got settled again, we started trying to get pg. After 3 years and not one pg...and since it's pretty much unexplained, I was told to lose weight (which is why I had the gastric bypass was so I could have baby!)....um yeah so I ended up finding a lot more pounds than I ever thought I would. I did so well for almost 2 years after surgery and followed the rules and I swore I would be one of the few who don't regain anything...I was going to allow myself 20-25 lbs to regain in the case of a pg.
DH and I are are getting ready to get back to eating smaller amounts and healthy lower calorie things again and getting in some exercise in again. We ate out a LOT while in the process of moving and unpacking.
It helps me to use www.calorie-count.com I'm not good about portion control on my own. It really is true that you don't feel full till 20 minutes after you're done eating too.
But I do know what stress eating is too. It's a much tougher bear to wrestle.
My helper was a kitchen scale. I weighed every last freakin' thing if it didn't come with a calorie count on the outside of the package (even then sometimes) even if I was overeating and I knew it, and I logged it all on the weight watchers site. Some days I would have to face the fact that I ate double my point allowance. That usually helped kick my ass for the next day...
Jonathan just keeps telling me not to worry and that we'll be fine. It's not the bankruptcy itself that stresses me, but the fact that we're going to have to live with wage garnishment for close to two years before we can start it. And I take care of the finances so I don't think he realizes what garnishment is going to do to us.
I have friends that have been through a bankruptcy. She filed a year or two before she got married to her second/current husband. And they lost their house to foreclosure less than 2 years ago. But she's rarely available to talk and the times I've tried to talk to her DH (who I DO consider a very good friend), he's done nothing but piss me off.
I feel such horrible shame and embarrassment that this is happening I haven't told hardly anyone. Jonathan told his entire gaming group, which upset me that that many people knew. And I'm not close enough to any of them to talk to them about it now that they know.
I wish I liked exercise and did that when stressed out (instead of eat), but exercise is evil. Except for swimming. And we don't have anywhere to swim that would not cost money to get to get to.
DH and I finally got an extra set of car seats, and we split up to do separate expeditions this past weekend. I took Ronin to a model train museum with Soren, and we were there for hours! He loved it. Claire was so uninterested when we all went there that we left after a short while because she kept trying to run outside into the parking lot. I do not believe it's a boy/girl thing per se (although Ronin seems to be far more interested in vehicles than Claire)--it's just my kids. My grandmother was a train conductor before she got too frail.
I finally had a c/s when they couldn't stop labor and Robbie was transverse.
And then I got to pump 8 times a day, and go to the nicu and back four times a day over a road that was under construction. I thought I was going to tear my stitches.
Dh is quitting his job today. Dh has worked in a small auto repair shop for about 5-6 years. He has been fired and then kept on for as little hours as you can be and still get unemployment, and then hired back full time after a few months when the shop was no longer in danger of going under. It has been a great job.
Only now the boss has let her son take over. His son, S, is real jerk, he knows Nick hates certain jobs and makes sure dh has to do them, treats everyone like crap, and is just mean. Oh, and S leaves for hours at a time and goes in the bathroom to do drugs. Everyone thinks he is doing cocaine, but can't say for sure.
Wednesday will be his last day. He is only giving 3 days notice because they only gave him 3 days notice when they fired him, 3 days is the end of the pay period. And every day he stays after he quits S will make his life hell.
Nick has a lawn mower tune up business, Mower Tune, that is bringing in a little income. The scariest part is that we are putting more money into advertising to try and get more income from Mower Tune dh looks for jobs. I'm worried we are going to spend more in advertising than we will make working on mowers.
I know for me, I'm a slow eater, always was and even more so now. If I eat too fast, even though it's been 5.5 years, I will be in pain for like 20-30 minutes...it's like something get stuck. I do still need to chew well and go slow (it was REALLY bad in first year after surgery...had to chew everything forever).
I do my share of stress eating....but a bigger problem for me is I'm pretty much always hungry (I can tell which one I'm doing). Before surgery, I honestly didn't know what feeling full was. I was never full. I only stopped because I knew that I already had way more than I should have needed.
After surgery, they told me I wouldn't feel hungry for 9-12 months. I got about 2-3 weeks and than bam hunger hit again. The cool part though was at least after I ate something, I finally knew what feeling full was like.
I still can feel full....but most of the time (I would say that probably 95-97% of my waking hours), I'm hungry. and I do eat a good amount of fiber (we both actually really like broccoli LOL), make sure to get in my protein and drink a LOT of water.
I'm finally coming to the conclusion that I'm just going to have to suck it up and be hungry most of the time.
Krista - I still owe you some info on battling anxiety naturally, i have not forgotten. Much of what I do is diet related actually, so could hewlp w/ weight also.
Just Midge
how long do you think it's going to take me to remember that the baby will pee if i take off her diaper and to put a prefold under her butt when i'm changing her?
Just Midge
Thanks, Lydia.
Krista - I hope you get back on the upswing soon. I hate it when it feels like life just keeps dumping on you.
I just got an awesome deal on some newborn cloth diapers. When I picked them up the lady was like, "Gosh, I think I could have gotten a lot more for these. I had so many responses to my ad"
I was all, "Yup, here you go seeyoulaterbye!" before she could change her mind.
I'm really going to try and make my own so I don't have to buy anymore. I need to open my sewing machine. It gives me an ache to look at it because my mom was teaching me so much about the craft and every time I had any little question I just called her and she always knew. We had a lot of fun sitting in front of that machine. It's going to hurt to do it without her.

IMHO, this is the funniest cartoon ever released by any studio. Classic Bugs Bunny, outwitting two Hillbillies! The icing on the cake is Bugs calling a square dance, the hillbillies following fast-paced calls that get them into hilarious predicaments. This is a must-see!!

1. A series of experiments was carried out on a group of psychoneurotic patients and of normal controls, in which was studied the effect on the respiration of the administration of a painful stimulus and of its subsequent recall. The changes in minute respiratory volume are reported as an index of respiratory response.2. Of 32 experiments on 27 psychoneurotic patients (Group I) with diagnoses of hysteria, anxiety neurosis and phobia, an increase in minute respiratory volume appeared during the painful period in 79 per cent of the experiments, and during the period of recall in 77 per cent of the experiments. The increase obtained for both periods, especially for the pain period, was on the average significantly greater than the variability of this group of patients as shown in a preliminary period.3. Of 14 similar experiments on 12 psychoneurotic patients (Group II) with diagnoses of hypochondriasis, compulsion neurosis, reactive depression, questionable schizophrenia, the changes in minute respiratory volume during the periods of pain and recall were not significantly greater than could be expected from the variability of this group during the preliminary period. Furthermore there were almost as many cases showing a decrease as showing an increase.4. In 24 similar experiments on 15 control subjects, an increase for the periods of pain and recall appeared in about 80 per cent of the cases. The increase found was greater than the variability of this group during the preliminary period.5. The response of the three groups of subjects to a painful stimulus and its recall appeared to be closely parallel to the response to an unpleasant ideational stimulus as previously reported.

This is a fun and stylish purse with a black and gold vintage button closure. It was one of those inventions that came out of necessity, and wanting to use what I have.
I had bought some wicker caning to cover up some cabinet doors at home a long time ago (which you can see a picture of), and, as usual, I decided to save the remnants thinking I had to do something with them some day. Finally I saw some wicker purses at a store and they inspired me to make a purse out of what I had.
The edges have been bound with a very sturdy and flexible seam binding that was rescued from someone who was getting rid of extra sewing supplies, and the sides (and inside side panels) have been covered in a fabric sample that I had gotten a long time ago. The color of the caning has been left in its natural state, and the inside has been trimmed with a brown ribbon with a fun French phrase, and vintage buttons.
The strap is made out of a beaded braid that was originally meant as a drapery hold back. The purse can be used with the strap or it can be removed and the purse becomes a clutch.

The Edge of Change
Women in the Twenty-First-Century Press
A powerful and complex assessment of how women are transforming the news industry
Containing nearly three dozen original essays penned by the nation's leading newspaper journalists, editors, and executives, this book advances current discussions regarding women in journalism. Surveying the past quarter century, the book's contributors highlight the unprecedented influence American women have had on the news industry, especially newspapers, and look ahead to the future for women in news. Acclaimed anthropologist and author Helen E. Fisher adds her perspective in examining the role of women across millennia and how the talents of women are changing social and economic life in this global age.
Prominent female voices in journalism provide critical perspectives on the challenges women face in today's news organizations, such as connecting with diverse audiences, educating readers about international issues and cultures, maintaining credibility, negotiating media consolidation and corporate pressures, and overcoming the persistent barriers to professional advancement. A powerful and complex assessment of how women are transforming the news industry, The Edge of Change explores how the news industry might implement further reforms aimed at creating a more inclusive journalistic community.
Contributors are Catalina Camia, Kathleen Carroll, Pamela J. Creedon, Paula Lynn Ellis, Helen E. Fisher, Dorothy Butler Gilliam, Ellen Goodman, Sharon Grigsby, Carol Guzy, Kirsten Scharnberg Hampton, Cathy Henkel, Pamela J. Johnson, Jane Kirtley, Jan Leach, Caroline Little, Wanda S. Lloyd, Arlene Notoro Morgan, June O. Nicholson, Geneva Overholser, Marty Petty, Deb Price, Donna M. Reed, Sandra Mims Rowe, Peggy Simpson, Margaret Sullivan, Julia Wallace, and Keven Ann Willey.
"A much-needed update of existing books on women in the press. The richness of this work lies in its use of accomplished women's own voices to tell of their achievements and their struggles, even into the twenty-first century. Anyone interested in women's history will enjoy this fine book."--Kay Mills, author of Changing Channels: The Civil Rights Case That Transformed Television

Autumn colour makes it the most beautiful season of them all. You just can't help wanting to bring some of it indoors – making displays of golden leaves, seed heads, gourds, berries, acorns and conkers.
Autumn Quilt Fall Throw Grand Finale: $239.00 USD – Etsy
The leaves are falling from the trees, the days are getting cooler, the nights are drawing in – autumn is well and truly here. This is the perfect autumn quilt for curling up in front of a roaring fire with… along with a good book and mug of Horlicks!
Cardigan in organic cotton & wool: £135; micromodal vest: £35; wool beret: £25; solid colour tights in polyamide & elastane: £15; suede shoulder bag: £69 – all from Gudrun Sjödén
I've been a big fan of Gudrun Sjödén's clothes for years and this colour combo is right up my street – roll on autumn!
It's been a long time since our last Out & about post – we even missed the whole of summer!
Flower-filled fields feel a distant memory…
…the flowers gave way to autumn leaves…
…and berries.
For the first couple of weeks of autumn we had the best of both worlds – sunshine as well as amazing seasonal colour.
We were seeing butterflies until quite late in the year…
…but there was no doubting that summer was over, as the winter-visiting geese were beginning to arrive.
Even the autumn sunshine is now a thing of the past – it seems to have been raining non-stop for almost a month. But now we're into December, this rain will hopefully turn to snow which will mean a magical white Christmas!
November saw the last of the autumn leaves…
…and their stunning show of colour.
Seed heads are also at their best at this time of year.
There are still some wonderful mushrooms to be found.
This crimson red variety was hard to miss against the bright green grass.
We often walk in the hills & fields that surround our house.
We share them with the local livestock – sheep, goats, cows, horses, pigs, chickens, ducks, geese…
The mile upon mile of hand-built dry stone walls keep the animals from straying too far- so it's bad news when a hole appears!
Here a quick, temporary fix is made using an old wooden ladder.
Farmers are masters of 'make do and mend'…
..here an ingenious use of an old tyre as a gate hinge – it's obviously done the job for many years as the layer of green lichen attests!
Whilst there's plenty of open land in the hills & fields, the valley bottom's much more crowded – buildings, railway, roads, canal and river all jostle for space.
November's been all sunshine & showers…
…there's been no shortage of puddles…
…it seems to change by the hour, but it does lead to wonderful sights like these.
The recent cold, blustery weather are signs that winter's around the corner… and we'll be back next month with December views.

Malaga City Hop-on Hop-off Tour

Birthplace of Picasso, Malaga boasts pretty streets, leafy boulevards and lush gardens. Find out why the city's cathedral is called La Manquita - the one armed lady! Hear all about the old palace fortress and its two rings of walls, and of course you can't miss the Picasso Museum! You'll get the chance to see all of this on your hop-on hop-off tour of Malaga.

Taking this tour gives you a general view about the town of Malaga and about where the main tourist attractions are located. There is enough time to get off the bus and visit part of them. As I experienced, the busses ran regularly, so that you could plan exactly how much time to spend in a certain place.
