And the University of Minnesota campus is situated within the Twin Cities, a lively and livable urban area known for world-class arts and culture. English at Minnesota: a truly unique and dynamic program of graduate study.

Third-year Creative Writing Program nonfiction student Scott F. Parker this year won the Monkey Puzzle Press' prose chapbook contest with a slim collection entitled in here--authored, provocatively, by The Synthesis. The book itself declares that its inventive texts may be read as poetry, philosophy, or fiction but seek to be memoir. Chapters include "all criticism is autobiographical," which mashes together quotes from Parker's widely published book reviews, and "unanswered questions?" which features nearly four pages of them (favorite: "Why not . . . accept that it's time that uses you?"). As Patricia Weaver Francisco notes on the back cover, this is an intimate little book that despite (because of) its challenging form effectively communicates aspects of the writer's personality and interests as much if not more than a standard "I was born in XX and did XX" narrative. Parker has also published a runner's memoir (Running After Prefontaine), two musings on musical icons (Revisited: Notes on Bob Dylan and ME | EM: One Listener's Confession), and an edited volume of writings on coffee (Coffee - Philosophy for Everyone: Grounds for Debate).

honeydew melon, fruit removed with a melon baller
cantaloupe, fruit removed with a melon baller
watermelon, fruit removed with a melon baller
1 bunch
pineapple - peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
2 tablespoons
pickled ginger
1 cup
fresh orange juice
1/4 cup
fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon
white sugar
1/4 cup
chopped fresh mint
1 pint
fresh strawberries, hulled
4 sprigs
fresh mint for garnish
So fresh & delicious! I substituted honey for the white sugar, and I'm pretty sure I used more mint than called for - but it was wonderful. I had never heard of pickled ginger, and look forward to using it often in the future now. Thanks for sharing!
I added the pix. I don't think it's exactly what you had in mind but I thought it made a good suggestion of your melon salad.

Acme Records opens Saturday
In late summer, I wrote of the impending opening of Shopkeeper Ken Chrisien's new record shop, Acme Record Emporium, 2341 S. Kinnickinnic Ave., in Bay View.
Sorting out city licensing and permits and a lot of hard work building out the space and amassing and pricing records has pushed back the opening day a bit, but Chrisien better be ready by Saturday, because he's planned a gala opening event from noon until 7 p.m.
He promises live music by Jim Warchol (solo guitar) at 2 p.m. and Red Stuff plays a record release set for its new disc, "Pagan Rock," at 7. Plus there will be "delightful libations" from the Sugar Maple, too.
As for the look of the space, you'll have to go over and see for yourself.
"I've been keeping the look under wraps, because I think it's pretty special," Chrisien told me. "(The) three photos (above) – the letter A, the weird stripey wall and the pile of scrap wood – are good indicators of what is happening inside Acme Records."
The photos are intriguing and so is the idea of Shopkeeper Ken finally opening a place of his own!

It's been 7 days since an article appeared on this site declaring that the Miami Dolphins would have to forfeit the draft picks, a 2010 2nd and 6th rounder, back to the Washington Redskins in the event that the Phins signed Jason Taylor within 365 days of the trade. At the time, it seemed harmless enough. A couple of Redskin fan sites picked it up and ran it, realized the mistake and took it down, discussed it on a forum or two…then smiled and cheerfully went about their day. At one point I received and Email that said early it had appeared on the Washington Post and was immediately taken down, I haven't been able to confirm that one. It seems that my little joke, is still playing itself out.
Earlier today I found two links that took me to an article written by SportsXchange and appeared on the online versions of the USA Today and CBSSportsline.com. The article talks about Jason Taylor and mention a report by ESPN's John Clayton that a rule exists that will revoke the trade. Here is what the article said:
One wrinkle that would certainly prevent Parcells and the Dolphins from re-signing Taylor has been pointed out by ESPN's John Clayton, who cites an NFL rule that says if a team trades a player for a draft pick (second rounder and 2010 sixth rounder) but if that player is re-signed by his original team within 365 days of the trade the commissioner can revoke any trade compensation.
The Dolphins, who traded Taylor last July 20, could skirt the rule and re-sign Taylor at the start of training camp without any penalty.
They put a little bit more at the end of the second paragraph but you get the gist of it. On April 1st, this is what I wrote…both of the above articles were written after April 1.
An NFL rule filed under "Penalties for Unfair Acts" allows the Commissioner to revoke any trade compensation if a player who is traded returns to his original team within365 days of his trade. Section 9.1 (E) of the NFL Constitution and Bylaws states:
The Dolphins of course could wait until the start of training camp and re-sign the DE without any penalty at all. The issue with that of course is that Jason would have missed all of the off-season workout programs, something that was at the heart of Bill Parcells' ire last off-season leading to the trade.
It should be noted that if the author would have followed the links that were given, they would have discovered two things. 1: The first link that goes to the rules page, actually goes to a non-existent page on this site and the 2nd link goes directly to the WIKI page for the history of April Fools jokes.
This year was the first time that I have posted anything that could be characterized as an A1Joke. I usually post nothing on that day, however, I awoke with a bit of a burr and an idea. Apparenly, it worked…I guess a little too well.
Here are the two links to the article:

Moments After a RevolutionOnly a single cry is necessary to bring a country to its knees. Be it a cry of defiance, of hatred, of misguided kindness, it must be a cry that once said, cannot be taken back. That is the way it is, the way it has always been. In this case, the cry was 'tyrant'. It was an oft-ignored word, slithering soundlessly through the long hallways, whispered in hushed tones by dead bodies piled up and decomposing, but it was omnipresent. And Nirslo knew it referred to his father.Words turned to actions and riots broke out on the street. The traitors had the traditional punishment for such crimes, and roamed the basement handless until they grew tired, and slumped unconsciousness on the floor led to quiet death, blood staining their whitening cheeks. But fright was a volatile instrument, and could not care whether it was in the hands of the nobility or of the peasantry. At the end of the day, it was the 'tyrant' himself left to die, retching violently and dying like he lived,
A mountain's neighbourhoodAfter years of tectonic plates grinding against one another, lifting And heaving, pulling, straining, then eventually bending, their hot and orange blood gushing out of the broken bones, I moved one day. Completely involuntarily,But it had to be.I liked the way I rose above everything, purple-blue in the distance, the colour of the twilight, even merging into the sky. There was always the act of moving in,That hated part in which one looks aroundCawing birds circling your head, Tumbling over one another, A dark mass that rests in your trees before lifting flight,All together, and fly in a V position into the sky, becoming purple-blue before disappearing completely. And then there are your neighbour mountains, most having moved with you, silent and looming, eyes closed in sleepOne day, one of them began to be pushed again, face strai
Empty skies"Doesn't it look empty to you?"What do you mean, little girl? It never looks empty, because in an expanse of sky there can be clouds and rain storms and blue turning to green at the edges. It's a diaphanous green, an almost-there-but-not-really green, and it melts into the ground sometimes. The change in colour has something to do with the atmosphere, I think. There are too many gases in the air and that causes the world to look larger.And yet here you are, little girl, and you're telling me it looks empty. You're asking me whether I agree. And how can something so full of rockets and stars and a million suns be empty? Well, maybe not completely full of them. But something needs empty space in order to look pretty. Negative space, if you ask the artist.Why don't you ask the artist, little girl? I'm sure he knows much more of emptiness than a lonely stargazer with a telescope and a cloudy sky. I mean, it does kind of have that charcoal-like quality to it when it's night time and ther
I'm invisibleHey, look at me!I'm invisible!You can't?That means it's working, you idiot.Now I am like the wind,Chaotic,Uncontrollable,Running,Finger splayed as if my hands were wings,Invisible.And new and freeBecause if they can't see the burns,If they can't find out what happened,Then it's as if it never didAnd I won't hide my face in my arms!As my shoulders crookedly rise and fallMuch more strongly than they're supposed to,I won't cry anymore!Because the tears will be invisible.And the disembodied sobs,Can be hidden,Can be said to be laughter,Until they are.Lies are powerful.LsAPWRfLRPFAnd if said enough,If enough people believe them,Lies are truth.Faces used to always give away who I was,When I wanted to make myselfLike this.And now that I'mLeapingAnd runningAnd nobody sees,I couldn't be happier.Hey, look at me!I'm invisible!You can't?That means it's working, you-I don't.I can't.I want to suddenly break down,And I want rivers to flow agai
Sunsets fallingGaseous goldCurls around the room,Almost visible, but when I reach a hand to grab it,It disappears in a flurry of 6 pm light.Almost like a bird, I think,Only nothing like a bird.Everything like the ocean.Everything like an ocean in which I can lay inForeverAnd nobody would come to bother me.After all, I am nothing more than the air itself.It's sad that it won't last for aeons and turns of time.Golden water, golden light, golden birdsDisappear in a flurry of 7 pm night.The twilight invades and lights turn on.(It's almost by magic, I think,Because how could they be so silent and dead a while ago?I guess they're still silent,But you can't turn night to day without singing,Can you?)Stars pierce the heavens,And millions of light years away,(Time, not distance)Millions of light years ago,They burned and howled and were forces of chaosAnd maybe created life, too.But now they seem feeble,Weak, only able to observe us.Maybe I should observe them back.It's been a lon
ColourIt ran down the finished hills, it gave life to empty blades of grass, it created a sunset with open brightness and warmth. Red ladybugs, perched on green blades of grass, barely perceptible brown grains of dust flying away from a roaring fire that was orange and destructive. All were brightened by its helpful presence.And, in a hidden corner of the world, a young girl was holding her hands together, trying to get just a bit of blue to sprout out of them, bright and cheerful. But as the daylight entered the cottage in blurry scraps, lighting up only certain objects and bathing the whole room in a melancholic chiaroscuro, she knew it was futile.If only she could stand up from this place, and if only she could walk up to someone outside and suddenly the person would be purple-faced and orange-eyed. And then everyone wouldn't laugh the laughter that drained her abilities further. And yet, no matter how hard she tried and how loud the sobs became, and how splintered and dusty the floor u
Melting TownThe snow, lithe and dancing through the air, was tossed back and forth by invisible winds that caused the entire world to be seen through a granulated vision of white. It had fallen during the winter and blanketed everything under ice. It was broken ice, too, somehow crushed as it fell. Not like you could see that, with how smooth it looked. I left the first building hurriedly, creating foot-shaped imperfections in the field of snow.And yet, after months of the same boring cold, came the rays of sun. At first they were shy, creating patterns of shadow after filtering through leafless trees and heavy clouds, but within a week the white was broken with small green germinating growths underfoot. They framed the streets, each and every one a microcosm of life. Just a bit afterwards, they were turning brown and breaking their backs, hanging loosely and dejectedly with eyes to the floor, and they disappeared completely, hidden under the superficially pure cold. But now it had begun aga

How Much You MeantJanuary 18th, 2010. The day I fell in love with the one boy who meant the world to me. I guess you can say that I've been in "like" too many times to count, but this time. It was different. Every time I "liked" someone else, it was purely out of the want to be loved. This time, even though our six or so months together have been nothing but the best and worst periods of time in my life, I still find myself to love him. For some reason, I believed that he hated me, but strangely, we grew close after just a little while. One smile, captured my attention. One hug, captured my soul. One kindness, captured my heart. Overall, He was definitely not your typical high school freshman. He doesn't talk about sex all the time. He doesn't want to lose his first kiss to someone he didn't love. He doesn't want to cause you pain. He wasn't a clear stereotype for a high school male. The crazy part is, I never felt this in my life. Even though I've only lived on this Earth for fourteen (almost fifteen)

Khet - Prologue (V2)Khet - Chapter 1A shallow breath shuddered past small, full lips, and tiny beads of muddy water dripped from the tiny chin below. A cool morning breeze swept down the steep valley walls, stirring silken strands of hair the color of aged barley. I was not yet the age to bear children the first time I met Leander, though those days were not long off. A dozen summers had come and gone in my lifetime, seasons spent helping my mother and sisters plant the newly green stalks of rice in the terraced hills of our valley. My small hands were scarred and calloused with a lifetime of hard labor, and in that moment, I held dearly to the bright green grasses in them.I had no name none of my people did. I was simply daughter to my mother, sister to my siblings child to my tribe. We were the Ihtroken, the people of the great valley. Life was simple here. I understood at that age the three things that were important in my life; community, survival, and worship. This i
Paint - Part 1In a vast city, there is a craft shop.It doesn't seem like much at first glance in fact it looks rather plain, almost a wreck. In fact most people walk past thinking it's abandoned. But on closer inspection, there is movement within. A slight ruffle of paper, a metallic dinging as a man pounds away at a type writer, or a scuffle as brush meets paper. The windows are fogged, but you can see his face. It's wrinkled, as if each bit of knowledge he knows is represented by each fold of skin. And there were a lot of folds, so there must have been a lot of knowledge in that head of his.But the only thing he concerned himself with was art. He did live in a craft store after all. Days would tumble into nights that lurched into days, and the little man would work away at the canvases and walls, painting and doodling. Well, you couldn't exactly call him little. He was in fact, one of the tallest people you would ever hope to meet. Standing over two meters tall, he was what many would con
OCT story and characterMorjen ran down the streets of Marlina, allowing the wind to pick up her hair and skirt and throw them behind her. She was dressed as someone from the Seriotý kingdom, and the loose-fitting blue clothing was much better than the ones they wore back home, thick and scratchy. The marketplace whipped past her as she ran down another street, the noises of yelling at each other over prices and different offers becoming indistinct, lost among the whooshing of the air around her.She turned yet another corner, the light turning into a brown and musty darkness as she entered the alley.

ESA SP-1296: ESA's Report to the 36th COSPAR Meeting
Scientific editor: R. Marsden
Editor: A. Wilson The report for the 36th COSPAR Meeting covers, as in previous issues, the missions of the Scientific Programme of ESA in the areas of astronomy, Solar System science and fundamental physics. This year's COSPAR meeting will take place only weeks before the end of the SMART-1 mission to the Moon, a technology project that provided the first European look at our natural satellite from lunar orbit.In October of this year, a new mission will be launched: COROT. ESA, together with a number of countries, is contributing to this unique, French-led project that will provide an insight into the interior of the stars, by means of the asteroseismology technique successfully applied by SOHO. COROT will also perform a systematic search for new extrasolar planets using photometric transits. The record number of ESA Science Programme missions in operation established at the time of the last report was maintained in 2006 (Huygens having been replaced in the list by Venus Express). Eleven different missions, involving 14 operating spacecraft, are providing excellent science to the worldwide scientific community. The Research and Scientific Support Department (RSSD) is responsible for the science operations of these missions and makes every effort to ensure the best possible science return. The Department also supports the realisation of approved projects in all phases of their development.

Saints Injury Report: Marques Colston Misses Practice
100 Most Average NFL Players Ever
With all the best of and worst of lists you see from sports bloggers, when was the last time you saw a top "most average" player list? Probably never...until now. Who are the top 100 most average players in NFL history, and why is Scott Shanle (pictured above) on the list but not Mike Williams (also pictured above)? Could Aaron Brooks be on the list? Saints fans would claim he's not good enough, but chances are, he probably belongs. Let's take a look at the top 100 most average NFL players ever.
Beck Unseats Grossman as Redskins Starter
Evidently four interceptions in one game was enough for Mike Shanahan.
The Washington Redskins coach has announced that John Beck will take over as the starter when Washington faces the Carolina Panthers.
Beck led the Redskins to their only touchdown after Grossman was benched last Sunday. It was his fir
Hall's Comments Should Surprise No One
Washginton Redskins CB DeAngelo Hall recently made comments about how he will play Cowboys QB Tony Romo on Monday Night Football. Romo has bruised ribs and a punctured lung, but still may play on Monday in Dallas. Hall was honest when he noted that he would be aiming his helmet at Romo's injured ribs. While this should come as surprise to no one, some are having a hissy fit about it.

Letter: Pools aim to reduce cost, spread risk
Dudley W. Taylor, Knoxville
In a letter appearing in your paper on July 3, the writer compliments you for exposing the truth about Obamacare and its oppression of the most vulnerable in our society. I don't remember the News Sentinel carrying such an article and I doubt that it would in light of the fact that the premise is false. Indeed, it is the reverse of what Obamacare is intended to accomplish, at least in part. That is to provide health care to the most vulnerable in our society, such as prohibiting denial of coverage by reason of pre-existing conditions.
The goal of Obamacare certainly is to expand insurance coverage, but not at the expense of the needy. The requirement that most obtain insurance coverage is aimed at forcing the younger and healthier among us to join insurance coverage pools. The effect should be to spread the risk and reduce the costs for many. The Affordable Care Act is not to ensure "that young, healthy adults can be given cheap health insurance," but that young, healthy adults be required to purchase insurance at market-determined rates.

Downtown Mount Clemens and even further inland this season as far as Sterling Heights, wind patterns have carried some fish flies where not fish fly has gone before, or at least it seems that way.
Before we go any further this correction. You call them fish flies, but Metroparks naturalist Nick Di Cresce explained they are actually mayflies.
He said these critters that some call creepy are misunderstood. The reason the mayflies come out? Love is in the air.
"When they come out of the water, it's basically all about making babies," Di Cresce told us. "They don't eat. They're basically just up here mating."
So, even though these mayflies may be bugging you during the month of June, naturalists at the Metroparks say they're actually good news. They're indicators of a good environment.
"These guys are a great indicator of fresh water, so clean water. If you don't have them, it's definitely time to worry," said Di Cresce.
Before mating season, they spend two years under water where they're credited with eating decaying algae keeping our water clean.
So, Di Cresce says they're to good guys that get a really bad rap.
Another reason not to shun mayflies is that they're good for the food chain, too. Robins, toads and frogs are happy to see them out and about this June.

When we consider the amount of effort put forth daily into blogging, social media, relationship building, it's no doubt we're working hard, but what can we expect to happen as a result?
We're accustomed to acquiring tangible things to validate our time, effort, acheivement. If I went to college for 1-2 more semesters I would have had my bachelors degree, something I'd probably frame and look at, and show my kids.
But something seemed more important to me, and although there's no plaque on the wall, I'm confident that this decision was the only decision – but it comes with the understanding that I've chosen something that people aren't clear on yet.
I chose it because it fit my identity, it connected me to thought leaders, and it gets more exciting everyday. I don't know why, it just seems right – like coming here and doing what I do is right – and I've spent years working for companies where what I did just didn't seem right.
We Start To See Things Right
This is the fundamental change that's happening right now, to all of us, blog or no blog. We are seeing a shift in the way companies ought to advertise, not to push products but to build awareness.
We are drawn to things that are done right, for the right reasons, to help the right people.
We are attracted to those who we see as visionaries, with unstoppable work ethics, relentless passion, and determination to drive change. It gives us confidence that we're not alone, that our vision is shared amongst those who are changing the world.
When Others See It Too – We Win
It's getting easier to spot the ones who are nailing it, and when we do we must identify them, or we begin to lose our most valuable skill – sharing.
This is what we contribute, our collective awareness to identify greatness and spread it as far as possible.
This is why we must do what we can to communicate what we know today, whether it's a tweet or a Facebook like, or a blog post. It's getting to a place where we feel comfortable letting others know what we're thinking, learning, experiencing.
This leads to inspiration. We are inspired, and we inspire others.
We challenge ourselves to seek the best experiences so we can share them with friends. It's what saves us from making mistakes that others before us have made.
It protects us from frustration, inferior products, incompetent staff.
You can't put an exact value on something like a positive review that has led to a dozen or so new customers, but you can get positive reviews and then realize where your business would be without them.
It tells people what we value, what we strive for, and what we can do better.
Basically, you can let opinions shared about your business tell the story – or you can brand your business and experience and customers will validate it if you delivered as promised.
Tell a story about what makes your company the best – and let everyone in the company read about it and figure out who was the key figure in making that experience possible.
And do it agian and again and again until people can't stop thinking about it.
This all leads to a place where we can see ourselves changing the world, influencing, guiding and helping others see what we see and watching them as they begin to do what you did.

For the second year, Rico Brands will be pedaling burritos.
Volunteers will be biking around Salt Lake City giving away rice and bean meals to the homeless as part of the national Burrito Project.
Salt Lake City is one of about 30 locations in North America participating. The concept is simple: Volunteers make burritos and deliver them by bicycle.
Last year, Rico bought all the beans, rice and tortillas and paid employees to wrap them, which cost around $10,000, estimates Josh Marans, Rico spokesman.
This year, it received a $1,000 grant from Slow Food Utah and discounts from Nicholas & Co., and U.S. Foods. It also attracted about 40 volunteers willing to wrap and deliver the food, including some youth from Utah Juvenile Justice Services.
The group will give away up to 500 burritos a day beginning Thursday, May 2, and continue every Monday and Thursday until it's too cold to bike. They'll be at the Main Library, Pioneer Park, The Road Home and anywhere else they can find hungry people.
"Being on bikes, we can hit a lot of pockets. We can really get in there and interact with them," Marans said. "The worst thing is making too many burritos and not having anywhere to take them."
He hopes to get companies will donate T-shirts and bike helmets that can be branded as part of the Burrito Project, along with donations of rice, beans, tortillas and foil.
He said the burritos don't have the Rico label on them, but the gifts are part of the company's mission.
"Rico Brand was built [by] the Salt Lake community supporting [owner Jorge Fierro] and giving back to him. He wants to do the same," Marans said.

Glee and Archie to Collide in Miniseries
- Written by ThanosCopter on Monday, July 09 2012 and posted in News with Benefits
Idyllic high schoolers to meet Fox television stars. Will comics ever be the same?
Source: USA Today
Archie and his gang of high schoolers have long been the standard for fictional high schoolers for much of the last century. However, recently a new group of singing high schoolers have taken pop culture by storm and turned Archie's gang of high school friends into socially irrelevent shadows of their once-prominent selves. As Glee, the award winning show on Fox, has gained a legion of fans and hardcore followers, Archie and his friends have been relegated to crossovers with the likes of Kiss and the Punisher.
That all changes this fall in Archie vs. Glee, a violent, blood-filled deathmatch of two of America's most iconic groups of high schoolers. "Archie and his pals are sick of having their thunder stolen by Glee," said Jon Goldwater in a made up interview. "We have gay relationships! We have interracial marriages! We even had a TV special back in the 80s. It's time to take the crown back from these auto-tuned crooners with poor dance moves and an irreverence towards character development and character continuity."
Goldwater explained that Archie's crossovers with the Punisher and Kiss would have a deep significance to the miniseries' plot. "Frank Castle and Gene Simmons taught Archie and his friends a lot about sex, drugs, violence and singing," he explained. "Now, Archie's gang can compete with New Directions on their own turf. And if they lose...well, let's say there's a AK-47 with Rachel Berry's name on it."
With both Archie and Glee making splashes in the worlds of gay relationships in their respective mediums as well as showing unprecedented amounts of diversity, Goldwater promised that there'd be plenty of relationship drama in addition to the violence and gore we've come to expect from an Archie comic. "No Archie story would be complete without at least a little bit of drama," he said. "Expect every girl of Glee to want to jump Archie's bones, which of course will spin-off into more comics featuring Archie marrying every last one of them, both seperately and together in a communal love cult."
The crossover may have other applications for Archie, which, while a sales juggernaut, has trouble gaining traction in the coveted "fat shut-in" demographic of traditional superhero comic readers. Glee Creator Ryan Murphy is somewhat famous for his aggressive approach to marketing the show, accussing anyone who doesn't like it of being pro-bullying and against music programs in schools. Murphy, who has no regard for copyright laws, started a public slapfight with rockers Dave Grohl and the Kings of Leon back in January when he said ""F--k you, Kings of Leon. They're self-centered assholes and they missed the big picture," because the Kings didn't want Murphy to use one of their songs on the show. In a preemptive publicity statement Murphy has cooked up for Archie Comics, comics fans who skip the series will be told to "suck Ryan's d--k," and "tongue his hairy white a--hole" or at least that's what we're expecting him to say. Many comics fans may dispute Murphy's message, pointing out that Murphy is "bald" and Nip-Tuck was "an awful show that appealed only to sexual deviants."
Of course, this announcement ensures that both Marvel and DC will seperately announce their own unrelated crossovers with television shows, not at all hoping to capitalize on Archie's smart marketing and bold storytelling ideas. Expect to see Archie Meets Glee hit newsstands sometime this fall.

Solar Stories
Guilt-Free AC for a Solar Family in Franklin County, MA
When Susanne P. and her family moved into their Shutesbury, Massachusetts home in 2008, she took one look at the garage and knew it had the perfect orientation for solar – due south with no trees in front of it. As an architect with experience in sustainability planning for schools and universities, she knew the environmental benefits of a solar system were significant. She just didn't know how affordable the system could be.
"Once I met with Andreas from Real Goods Solar and he designed a system that would produce a minimum of 80% of our monthly electricity needs AND provide income from solar renewable energy credits [SRECs] for ten years, I was hooked," she explained. In fact, the first six months' production indicate that the solar power system may well supply 100% of her needs.
The 7.6 kW solar system was installed, as expected, on Susanne's garage roof in April 2012 by Real Goods Solar's expert Western Massachusetts solar panel installation team. "I've spent a lot of time on building sites, so I know a good construction operation when I see one. From the care the installation crew took in working around our flower garden – which is directly under the solar panels – to the way they cleaned up the site every day, I could see they were high caliber. But even more than that, it was clear that installing our system was something that really mattered to them…it's not just a job to them, it's a personal commitment."
Susanne's 24-panel home pv array is comprised of high-efficiency SunPower modules. It includes a solar monitoring system so she can track its energy production as frequently as she wants, not only on her computer but on her smart phone too – even from India, where she was traveling last Spring.
When Summer rolled around, Susanne and her family were delighted to discover a totally unexpected benefit of their home solar system. "We ESPECIALLY enjoyed staying cool this year with our air conditioning units, knowing that our solar panels were providing all of the power…guilt-free AC!"

So yesterday I thought I had a fairly easy workout routine for my arms: arm-workout-clicky. I only used 1 and 2 kg-weights, so max combined to 3 kg.
But while working in the animalshelter I started to notice how sore and tight my arm muscles felt! By now I can't properly stretch my triceps and my biceps don't want to lift heavy anymore.
You could say it was a pretty good workout :D Perhaps more want to try it?

New Renovator's Resource: Affordable Waterworks Studio
Waterworks, known for its high-end bathroom fixtures and fittings, has launched a new collection called Waterworks Studio, which will offer simpler, more streamlined--and more affordable--versions of its top-shelf products. The collection appears in Waterworks showrooms this month and begins shipping in December.
According to a rep at the Georgetown showroom, the quality of the Studio Collection is on par with the main Waterworks collection. No shortcuts have been taken. What brings the price down (by as much as half) is that the collection is simpler and there are fewer options.
According to CEO Peter Sallick, "Typically, we approach design by exploring all kinds of details and materials, to give consumers the widest possible variety of options for custom bathroom designs," whereas with Waterworks Studio these options have been narrowed down to a handful of key pieces.
Another bonus is that the showrooms will keep a greater inventory of the new collection in stock, which makes the new lines especially appealing for people who want a quick turnaround on a bathroom renovation.
Among the new designs, the Flyte range is minimalist and sparse, whereas the Roadster series is reminiscent of a "dashing vintage sports car." The Highgate range is the most classic and traditional of the new offerings. In addition to fixtures, the Studio Collection includes a carefully selected array of wall tiles, bath accessories and towels.

So a $600+ dollar faucet is the "affordable" option? I can appreciate the beauty of the fixtures, but still not affordable for most.
I totally agree with Kitty, don't get me wrong, I think the faucet collection is beautiful. But affordable? no way. It is like saying: "oh! This Benz is only selling for $80K now? wow, so affordable. What? You disagree? Well, you don't know design" ............give me a break.
i L.O.V.E. the waterworks line... so classic. it is great to see them come out with the studio line... although pricey, it is more in-line with fixtures from brands like kohler.
as with most things in life, you get what you pay for.

In this follow-up to the Lessons Learned Blog dated January 27, 2011, I am happy to divulge more juicy lessons-learned from my Secondment here at the CaGBC (hopefully this time the blog won't attract the paparazzi, reporters, fans (and protesters) that inundated us after the first blog!).
Lesson Three: Misconception of the use of (1) the Application Guide for Multi-Unit Residential Buildings (a.k.a. MURB Guide) and (2) the Application Guide for Campus and Multiple Building in LEED Canada-NC (a.k.a. Campus Guide). The MURB guide was developed to provide alternate compliance paths for any LEED Canada-NC 1.0 (with or without addendum) project that includes a residential component. The Campus Guide was developed to provide alternate compliance paths to help certify one or more buildings located on a campus (defined in the Campus Guide) targeting LEED Canada-NC 1.0 (with or without addendum). The common misconception is that if one compliance path was followed from either guide then ALL compliance paths need to be followed. To address this misconception (here is the juicy part), these two guides should be treated as though they are a buffet lunch: be picky and choose the compliance paths that suit your project needs and leave behind the compliance paths that are unfavorable. Just be sure to READ, include all submittal documentation listed under the compliance path followed and fill out that nifty Application Matrix as part of your upfront application so that the compliance paths chosen for each credit are clear to the review team! Oh, and one last point, like the LEED Canada-NC v1.0 Reference Guide Addendum, each credit needs to be adopted in its entirety from the application guides. The exception is for mixed use projects – the residential portion can follow the MURB guide and the commercial portion can follow the standard guidance.
Lesson Four: Documentation commonly not included in the first submittal package results in DELAYING the certification review process. Well over half of the certification applications require more documentation in order for the file to be reviewed by one of CaGBC's third party review teams. At the CaGBC, any documentation that prevents the review from starting is appropriately called a "show stopper".
Five Showstoppers for LEED Certification
Here are the "top 5" show stoppers that applicants "forget" to include in their application for LEED certification:
(1) A drawing that CLEARLY defines a LEED Project Site Area (used consistently across all prerequisites and credits);
(2) ALL Architectural, Landscape Architect, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Electrical Engineering drawings in greyscale (please no coloured drawings);
(3) Signed LEED letter templates (these are professional declarations – please make sure that they are signed);
(4) Be clear and clarify your intent for LEED Canada-NC (or CS) EAp2 – Minimum Energy Performance (are we waiting for a third party review report or are your requesting that one of the CaGBC review teams perform a 3rd Party Energy Model review?); and,
(5) Your narrative does NOT need to "wow us" by describing the green strategies used in the design. In your narrative state:
(a) the certification attempted (NC, CS, CI, EB:O&M etc…) and the version;
(b) use of the building (office, residential, treatment facility, etc.…);
(c) FTE clarification (if required);
(d) a summary of the credits targeted in each category (complimented by the credit matrix referenced above if necessary); and,
(e) information as required under section 4.4 of the Application Guide for Core and Shell Buildings and Leased Tenant Space if your project has ANY leased tenant space (refer to the Part I of this Lesson's Learned blog).
Lastly, to help make your certification application sparkly clean check out the "Certification Methodology" document from the new website and/or attend the "New LEED Canada Documentation Course (N.C. 1.1)".
Final Lesson: The CaGBC puts a lot of effort into ensuring that project reviews are fair and consistent. If frustration strikes, step back, take a deep breath, come back to my lessons above and remind yourself that you are helping to transform the green building market in Canada through being involved in a LEED project.
I hope you enjoyed these few, but essential, lessons learned.
Ghislaine Johnson, LEED Technical Coordinator

Beautiful.They say I'm beautiful
Because of the way my crystalline heart reflects light off its fractured surface
Well, that isn't a reflection
It's rejection of the light because it's all too much to handle
Throw myself away into the dark without even a candle
'Cause I don't want to recognize all the pain I'm in
Or realize the truth behind what I am or who I've been
And I tried to make things right but I just keep on making wrong
I never listened to the angel on my shoulder when she called
I count my tears like they're experience
And my scars like they're mysterious
And that's a feeling I'll remember –
Watching as you left
Watching as you ended what was meant to be forever
And I can see it in their eyes; everyone can empathize
So they say that I'm beautiful because they don't know what else to say.
But if being broken is beautiful, then it's the ugliest way...
But Nobody KnowsI can't tell my
Tears from the rain
The hurt from the pain
My life from this game
It's all just the same
And it hurts me so badly
That you're so mad at me
I can't stop me from breaking
My hands are still shaking
Knees are so weak
I can't stay on my feet
So I fall to the ground
And I hope to be found
It's this feeling inside me
That I've never missed
It corrodes and divides me
Puts scars on my wrist
It controls and divides me
Fuels the fire inside me
Destroys all I make
Creates all my hate
I'm not that one in a million
The diamond in the rough
I'm just one more person
Who's finally had enough
Of hiding from hurt
And dealing with pain
But nobody knows
Cause I cry in the rain
Savior.I have this darkness deep inside me,
It's what influenced this writing.
I can't control it, I can't fight it,
Barely know it, and can't hide it.
I'm just a mess with no ambition;
So much less than I envisioned.
How much more can I endure?
I don't know, I'm not too sure...
I'm not myself when I'm alone,
And yet I find I'm on my own.
I'm like a lock without a key,
There is no perfect fit for me!...
You're not alone.
Don't think like that.
Pick your head up.
I believe in you.
You can do it.
I love you...
Are you here to prove me wrong?
To make me see the brighter dawn?
With this darker side, this part of me,
How can you love someone like me?
I don't care, I'm glad you do...
Where would I be if it weren't for you?
You pulled me through the worst of times,
I never thought I'd call you mine...
Yes, I'm a mess, but this mess is forever yours.
Together we can unlock and open up these remaining doors.
And I'm not backing down as long as you're by my side...
Hold on to my hand and we'l
You AreYou are the rain...
That washes away...
All of my pain...
Every day...
You are the sky...
On a cloudless black night...
So full of stars...
Makes me feel so alive...
You are the one...
The one I'll wait for...
Forever and always...
Of this, I am sure...
You are my life...
My one reason why...
I'll never give up...
I promise you this...
No matter what...
(And I can't thank you enough!)
The Story of UsIt's just beneath the skin
Her heart so paper thin
It fell and broke again
It's all because of him
Left her for what she was
A broken shattered soul
She can't believe she can
Repair her heart to whole
She's tried so many things
To ease the pain inside
But she still feels its sting
In each tear she's cried
But then you came along
You took this broken girl
Made her believe she's strong
You have become her world
Look deep into her eyes
Let all the pain subside
Return the tears she's cried
Don't ever leave her side
She's fallen hard for you
Please don't betray her trust
You may have heard this too
This is the story of us...
I'm A Mess..I push on through this life still wandering blindly
Hoping that somehow somebody is gonna find me
But I'm lost
And my body is freezing
My breaths are growing ragged
And my heart beat is ceasing
I can't remember
A time when we weren't together
And I'm really starting to miss
What we were
And I miss our forever
I had to try
I had lie
Just to put forth the effort
I'm following in tracks that you left behind
But as I press on they're getting harder to find
So why
Why did you leave me stranded
Lonely and empty handed
My blood is running cold
And I don't even understand it
But you
You don't know what you have done
Shut me off from the world
Can't feel the warmth of the sun
It's true
That I've told my fair share of lies
And there have been plenty of times
I've wished I wasn't alive
So why?
What should I feel now that my body's grown numb
Absent of hope I can't be warmed by the sun
And yes, I confess
That I got myself in this mess
My blood is running cold
To Be NumbI gaze through the glass
To the last rays of light
And the long shadows cast
As dusk turns into night
Hands cling to the chain link
Still struggle to stand
I know what you may think
And I know what I am
A broken man
Still stealing these breaths
Because I can
I tried to hold on
If not but for your sake
But you walked away
Left my heart here to ache
Now it just
Reluctantly beats
It's this feeling inside me
And my heart is its keep
It's a feeling that
Is known only to some
Not everyone knows
What it's like to be numb...
Sharpen The KnifeI remember her eyes
They were so very bright
But they could never disguise
All the pain kept inside
In this world that's so grey
All washed up in our pain
The pain of the heartbreak
And cuts on my wrist
Just one more mistake
I thought that you loved me
But just look at all this
It's fallen apart
The words never spoken
And just like my heart
This silence is broken
The dark crimson sky
Blocks out the sun
As everything good
It all comes undone
So all that's left
Is the thought of you
But that leaves me
With nothing to do
The love that I gave you
Was never enough
When the world is what I gave you
You simply just shrugged
I laugh to hide the pain away
Smile to fake I'm fine today
But at the end of everyday
I know I'm not okay
Yes, I had it all
And you were my life
But now you're gone
So I'll just sharpen this knife...
Emotionless KissIt's not like I can even fight it so why do I still attempt..
To drag myself out of my self created lament..?
I tried to make things right but I can't force out your repent...
You're standing right next to me so why do you feel so distant?!
I only wish
To take your hand
Pull you in close
And do everything that I can
To keep you
I wanted to make you mine
Though I waited and waited
You never gave me a sign
It's not like I try to hide it so why is it that you ignore me?
I've got no one to confide in and you won't even reassure me...
Maybe when I'm gone you'll finally start missing me...
It's strange that when I'm dead how you'll finally start listening..
And I hope
That you're happy with this
We can try to save ourselves
With an emotionless kiss
But it's too late
You've missed your chance
Let your love die
And lost out on our romance
I really wish that you could hear me as I'm crying out in pain..
But in this blanketing darkness nothing ever will look the same...
Crimson tea
Beautiful SuicideThe painful truth of death
Can be so beautiful
It's more common than life itself
Purely inevitable
There is no angel of death
That will come for my soul
The beauty of a suicide
Comes from your own control
The selfishness of humans
Is no reason to shy
For if you wish to opt out
It's your own choice to die
Your mother will weep
Your lover will cry
They'll point at the heavens
And shout and ask why
But the sky has no answers
Your prayers are all lies
There's no one to answer
Your pathetic cries
I sit alone crying
It's dark and I'm bleeding
My death is my aim
And it seems I'm succeeding
Fear of death cannot save me
Nor any love of life
All the love in the world
Cannot stop my own knife
I swallow mortality
I know I am ending
I know now all my living
Was just me pretending
Emotional Mind vs. SubconciousHe cares (or so he says)
He'll be there (what if he isn't?)
He'll protect me (he'll hurt you instead)
You're visible to him (no, invisible, just like everyone else)
He'll never lie (he lies to you daily)
He's never tricked me (everything is a trick when it comes to him)
He hugs me (an obligation, just so he can hurt you EVEN more)
He wants me happy (just so he can cause you MORE pain)
He looks out for me (only because he should)
He Cares About ME (or so you think )
He Loves Me ( He'll break your heart)
I've No Talent For HappinessI've no talent for happiness
My smiles are frail at best
And though I try to remember
A time when I felt truly blessed
I can't
And no matter how I try
There are always times
When I can't help but cry,
Though even as they fall
I try to cradle the tears
To see if I can find
Happiness beneath the fears
In these delicate crystals
Of hopeless memories...
But I've no talent for happiness
My heart never wholly mends
And though I dove so far
Dove until I reached the end
Of that vat of tears and miseries
I found only
More tears left to cry...
I've no talent for happiness
My soul cries endless seas
In which I try to drown
Myself and my memories,
But I think I once had it
The bliss you call happiness
And every now and then
I feel it
Rise to greet you
And attempt to shine
From beneath my tears
So that you may know the truth
Of how you make me feel.
So I've no talent for happiness
My memories sometimes choke me
My hearts never wholly mends
My soul
Good MorningGood Morning.
I have a distressing tendency of waking up too early.
The sun escaping from the blinds always begins to stir me.
Just as I begin to behave sullen and surly, her presence averts me.
I turn to my side to see the vein in her left arm pump overtly.
She's completely immersed by the covers.
I have to resist temptation not to hold and hug her.
Her body suddenly moves with a spontaneous shudder.
Her mouth moves but not a word or sound does she utter.
I stare at her intently and push her stray hairs behind her ear.
Realising that loosing this woman will be my most dreadful fear.
Her eyes momentarily open just to make sure that I am near.
I was born alone in this world but I live my life in a pair.
She has no idea that I watch her while she sleeps.
Or that I tingle when her newly painted toes brush against my feet.
I often think what my life would be like if me and her didn't meet.
Would she even look twice if we crossed paths in the street.
Her hands move against the pillow as if
I'm Nothing.Do you see the tears,
That fall down my face,
Do you know my fears?
That nothing can erase.
Do you know my story?
Would you like to hear?
It is not only of glory,
But of my suicidal fear.
Of why I use the blade,
Or sharp wire and pins,
To create these cuts I made,
A physical marker of my sins.
I do this because I'm nothing,
I matter to nobody It's true.
No joy do I ever bring,
Why do you think it would be different for you?
I can't hold on to life any longer,
It is just too hard for the likes of me.
I wish I could be stronger,
But I'm a prisoner here and long to be set free.
Don't Go"Don't go…" There are few words more powerful. I watched my best friend as her very soul shattered. She kept saying it. Yelling it. Desperately begging.
"Don't go! Don't go! Don't go!" She screamed, her voice breaking as she plead. The agony poured down her face, tears blending with the rain. Her beloved weakly placed a hand on her cheek. He smiled through his pain, a hole torn right through the middle of his life. He whispered to her. I could barely make out his words above the sound of the rain against the leaves.
"Its alright." He said. His voice, somehow steady, "Come here."
She swallowed hard and gently lay her head on his chest. I leveled my rifle and scanned the area again. The last of our enemies lay dead at my feet. Above the rain I heard my dying friend's voice singing softly. One last song for the woman he loved.
"You are my sunshine… my only sunshine… you make me happy… when skies are grey." His voice barely held the notes as it gave way to the v
One Thousand ApologiesI know you will forgive
Whatever I do wrong
I know that you will listen
To the tiniest problems I have
One thousand apologies
For everything I did
One thousand apologies
For ever broken dream I shred
Iknow you will hold me
When I feel so alone
I know you will be there
When I'm broken and forgotten
One thousand apologies
I know I abuse the facts
One thousand apologies
For crawling every time I need you
It's like I'm a stone
Cause I know you will come
It's like I'm a stone
But I can't stand alone
One thousand apologies
For abusing your kindness
One thousand punches
Wont give me what I deserve
I do not deserve this mercy
I do not deserve this at all
Why the angel fell for a demon
I will never understand
In my evil ways full of sin
You remind me
That every sinner has a future
And every saint has a past
Alone I BreakI need to wake up
I've been oblivious for too long
Just open my eyes
Though all along
I've known that I was wrong
I pushed everyone away
Wouldn't open up to anyone
I'm so broken up inside
I can't keep acting like I'm strong
When did I become addicted
To punishing myself
Purposely contracting sickness
So I can ruin my health
Then make myself believe
That its the fault of someone else
But I've known all along
I built this hell for myself
Is this what I want
To die all alone
Bathed in this darkness
Feeling cold to the bone
Its easy to picture my death
Maybe I've just always known
I'll die on my own
With my sins left unatoned
If tomorrow I don't Wake upI wonder what would happen
If I was never to wake up
Would people even care
I wonder if a commotion would erupt
Would anyone even notice
That I wasn't alive
Would my mother even mourn me
Or could she guess that I wouldn't survive
Well I'm still not dead
But I can barely call this living
I feel like a corpse
That hasn't given up on breathing
But I wonder what would happen
If I was actually to die
Would anyone be bothered
Or care enough to cry
Maybe everyone's just used to
Me living like a corpse
So no one would be bothered
Or life change the slightest off of course
But if I would never wake up
There's no way to know what happens the next day
Won't know if people really care about me
But..maybe it's better off that way
I'm Alive..?Don't try to see the good in me
Cause it's hidden behind lock and key
I never let anyone inside
Won't let them wipe the tears I've cried
I don't think they'd really care
If they knew of all the scars I bear
They try to make me feel less worthless
But I know that I deserve this
For still having a beating heart
I'm trying not to fall apart
But you
Just take me
Make me feel
Erase these lies
Tell me what's real
Hold me close
Hold me all night
Make me feel like
I'm alive.

Michael Koryta
Minotaur Books
Fresh off the critical acclaim of his Los Angeles Times Book Prize--nominated Envy the Night, Michael Koryta returns with a blistering new installment in the Lincoln Perry series.
Whisper Ridge
Home to Dreams
October 2, 1992--April 12, 1996
So reads the strange epitaph carved beside the door of the home called Whisper Ridge, a multimillion-dollar piece of architectural majesty that once housed the beginnings of a unique program for paroled murderers. The program never got off the ground, however, despite how passionate a woman named Alexandra Cantrell, daughter of a notorious Mafia don, and her husband, Joshua, had been about it. Still uninhabited twelve years later, the house remains as a strange monument to dangerous secrets, falling into ruin as the forest grows up around it.
While the couple's abrupt exit was unusual, it was also not regarded as suspicious—until the bones of Alexandra's husband are found buried in the woods.
Private investigator Lincoln Perry isn't thrilled about the situation, or his client: Parker Harrison served fifteen years for murder but claims Alexandra's intervention saved his life. Now he wants to find her---and he's not the only one.
What seems at first like the simplest of jobs proves to be an undertaking that will challenge both Perry's abilities as a detective and his commitment to that calling. With a new partner to train and a case that leads straight to the heart of the Cleveland organized crime scene, Perry finds himself glancing over his shoulder at every turn, pushing the bounds of safety even as he backs away.
Once again Michael Koryta has crafted an intricate, lightning-paced thriller, ratcheting up the tension as he explores just how dangerous the offer of a second chance can be. The latest installment in the Lincoln Perry series, which the Chicago Tribune calls "addictively readable," marks another step forward in his incredible career.
He'd sharpened his knife just an hour before the killing. The police, prosecutor, and media would all later make great use of this fact. Premeditation, they said. Proof of intent, they said. Cold-blooded murder, they said.
All Parker Harrison had to say was that he of en sharpened his knife in the evening.
It wasn't much of a defense.
Harrison, an unemployed groundskeeper at the time of his arrest for murder, took a guilty plea that gave him a term of life in prison but allowed the possibility of parole, the sort of sentence that seems absurd to normal people
Praise for The Silent Hour
"Feisty plotting and the most memorable prose since Chandler. Koryta belongs on every genre reader's bookshelf." –Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"Edgar-finalist Koryta spins a dark tale of broken dreams and second chances in his stunning fourth mystery." –Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Koryta writes with maturity and grace, delivering clipped, crisp prose and crackling suspense." --Booklist
"The plot is intricately woven...As a protagonist, Perry is completely human, with knowledge, ability and insecurities. The twists in the story are so unexpected that the reader can only scratch his or her head in awe and wonderment." –ILoveAMystery.com
"The inventive plot of The Silent Hour surprises right up to the end, and in Perry, Koryta has created a classic tough detective - a man with enough dark passages in his own past to recognize them in others, a bulldog who just can't let go until the ending of the story is told, no matter how close to hell it takes him." –St. Petersburg Times (Florida)
"Koryta is definitely one of the best of the new generation of U.S. mystery writers." –The Globe and Mail (Canada)
"The plot is intricately woven and moves forward slowly with intuitive leaps of faith. As a protagonist, Perry is completely human, with knowledge, ability and insecurities.
