This is a canary message, to be removed in the case of my death. If you're reading this, I haven't died yet.
Then again, how would you know? I mean, how could I possibly delete this message after my own demise?
You know what? Just go ahead and assume I'm dead. Any posts appearing to be made by me are from an impostor who's stolen my identity post-mortem, and only further prove the fact that I am dead. After all, why would I even think to post a canary message if I was expecting to be alive to remove it anyway?
In any case, I'm still not the droid you're looking for.

Cheap, and even cheaper service
Went there because this was the top budget choice from Lonely Planet. The latest Lonely Planet India isn't the best, by the way. Lots of missing important information, on top of bad judgement.
Anyway, got a reservation there months ago. Warned them we'd be late. Got an AC room, assuming it might be better, even though it was winter.
The train from Delhi turned out to be late by three hours, so we got there about 1:30 or 2 AM. I had tried to call them, but both their ph numbers were mysteriously out of service. I had also sent them an email form Delhi as soon as I found out about the delay. We get there and everyone was sleeping, but on top of that, they had given one of the "AC" rooms to someone else, but still charged us for it, just because we were late, in spite of me trying to warn them. Of course, they had no soap in the shower, intermittent hot water in the shower, and obviously no heat, even though it was freezing cold. The bathrooms open into the adjoining bathrooms through a vent, and you can hear the neighbors going about their duties, singing, etc., and even complaining they don't have hot water, because you were taking a hot shower. It was our turn to not have hot water the next time.
As the others say, it is in a quiet place, compared to the other cheap places in the Taj Ganj area, and also the courtyard is ok. But I wouldn't go there again, because they are extremely unreliable, and in my opinion, took advantage of the fact that we got delayed. They probably gave away our room to someone else who had come in earlier and complained. They knew we had no place else to go, in the middle of the night.
Hotel Sheela
Hotel Sheela has got an excellent location, only a few minutes away from the Eastern Gate of Taj Mahal (but tickets are bought many hundred metres in the opposite direction). It is a quiet place and there is a nice garden.
There are rooms in different categories. I got a simple room with a fan and a bathroom for Rs 400 (July 2010). After I had checked in I got a towel, toilet paper, soap and a top sheet. It was mostly clean but there was a furry sofa I didn't put anything on.
In the evenings you can sit in the restaurant or on the porch outside your room. The bad thing with the restaurant is that there is no roof over the outdoor area to protect you from rain, and inside the air condition is too cold.
Hotel Sheela is a popular budget hotel so it is good to reserve in advance. I booked via email about a week in advance.
A budget place that looked OK to me
Again, we stayed at the Trident in Agra, and were very satisfied. I really wasn't looking for more budget accommodations on our trip. However, I know that a lot of people on VT are interested in finding bargains options for lodging. From what I saw externally of the Hotel Sheela, located 800 meters from the east gate of the Taj Mahal, it may be a good choice.
The Rough Guide to India claims that the restaurant at the hotel is dependably hygienic, but I can't say anything to that end. The hotel does look to be acceptably safe and clean to my eye. If saving money is a necessity on your Indian journey, this is where I'd look to reside during my time in Agra.
When you look at the photos below, please note... the picture of the Sheela is from THEIR website. The photo is, to my recollection, an accurate look at the hotel entrance. The other photo is one that I took of the Taj Road. In this photo, I am probably standing about in front of the Sheela, and am looking back at the East Gate of the Taj Mahal. This lets you see the neighborhood.
The Sheela seems to be a secure and clean place. As for the neighborhood, it'd be OK by day... I'm not sure I'd wander around alone at night. If you want to go into Agra, do take a cab. :)
Directions: Eastern Gate Taj Mahal (opp. Jalma, near Shilpgram Parking) | Agra 282001
Great place close to Taj Mahal
This place is very close to the eastern entrance of the Taj Mahal and is very quiet and peaceful with some of the rooms set around a courtyard. The first room I had here (Rs400) had a squat toliet and no hot water shower so I asked if they had a better room, which they had for Rs500, and this was much better. The room was twice the size plus the bathroom (which was also considerably larger) had a western toilet plus a great hot water shower all for just Rs100 more! The rooms are very clean and the staff here are helpful and the food served in the courtyard is pretty good. I would recommend booking ahead to avoid not being able to get a room.
VERY close to the taj (accomodation in agra)
very basic, but very pleasant accomodation - only a stone's throw from the "taj mahal's main gate." relax in the open courtyard-type surroundings, with standard guest house services. food available - and not too bad.
reasonably priced and overall, a very pleasant stay.
Unique Quality: uber-close to the 'taj mahal'
Directions: around the corner from the main gates of the 'taj mahal.'
The closest you can get to the Taj with your bed!
There are plenty of possibilities to stay in the Taj Ganj quarter, but the closest you can get with your bed to the Taj Mahal is the Hotel Sheela. Situated just some meters away from the east gate of the Taj, it offers double room huts. The best thing is that it is in the more quiet part of Taj Ganj - with parks? - at least a lot of "green stuff" around it, but still so close to the dizzling alleys that you have both.
Our room went with "shared" ants, though, and Omed was afraid to harm his Karma, so he really carried all ants out of the room ALIVE! Plus some powder in front of the hut and all problems were gone - and Omed got some really good chances for becoming a saint.....
Ah, by the way, this pic below, that reminds a little bit of a romatic candle light dinner was actually due to another power fall out.....like I said make the best out of it ;-)
Close to Taj
This hotel is 5 minutes from the East gate entrance to Taj Majal. It is very quite and relax after all the noise and heat. In the garden there is a swing. The people in the hotel are quite nice and helpful. The price is 350RS per person and some rupees more if you prefer room with air cooler. it's very clean and they provide soap and sheets but I recommend your own sheet, in general just in case. We chosed the hotel because it's close to the Taj Majal but it's also close to Taj Ganj.
Unique Quality: In this hotel all the rooms are ground floor. Part of them, are in front of a garden, we were in the other side cause we prefer to have air cooler(horrible noise, like a motor plane) because it was really hot(when i say really hot , it's reaaally hot). There is a big garden where you can eat or have breakfast. From the garden you can see Taj domes(very little but it's possible), after the garden there is a "jungle". Some monkeys go to see your food but i prefer the dogs .Two nice dogs, one is very friendly called friendly and the other Tiger.
The area is close to cars...due to contamination so to get to the hotel is only possible by cicloricksaw or ricksaw or special cars.
Hotel Sheela
We stayed here 3 nights.
Is like a paradise in the middle of the chaos at the very entrance of Taj Mahal. Sheela is a little hotel, with rooms around a garden where you can have a good breakfast or eat something or just rest. You will be surrounded here by animals like monkeys and peaceful and a beautiful vegetation.
I must warning you that as you get out of the door you will be surrounded by sellers and rickshaw drivers, cause you are just in at the door of the Taj where all the sellers try to sell theirs things.
As when we went there were no tourist all those sellers came over us every time we get out the hotel … just keep the calm
The rooms were good enought and clean comparing to all what we saw. For the price you pay is the best option just in the best place.
Unique Quality: The rooms are wide. The bathroom have everything very old is not dirty, just oxidized. The cooler are terrible because they make a great noise. Well all these things are normal. The place is fantastic and you will fill really you are at paradise despite all this things
Very Satisfied for the money we paid.
350 R. per night with cooler and bathroom
Directions: At 100 m. of the Taj Mahal entrance.

Clonal interference
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Clonal interference is a phenomenon in the population genetics of organisms with significant linkage disequilibrium, especially asexually reproducing organisms. It occurs when two (or more) different beneficial mutations arise independently in different individuals. Prior to, or in the absence of genetic recombination, the mutations cannot join to form an organism carrying both of them, but they compete against each other. This typically leads to the loss of one of them,[1] confirming that the fate of mutations fitness are effected for other variations in the population.[2]

So I'm slowly converting my Nomad to a 1x9 setup and eventually plan on getting a full on chainguide. For now I've removed the front trigger and cable and want to use my XT front derailler as a chainguide to keep from throwing the chain. How do I do that?
When I unclamped the cable the thing obviously lost all of the tension that was keeping it linedup properly. What do I need to dissassemble on the derailler to make this work????

About the Host, Cliff And Linda
We have been married for 39 years and have lived in wonderful Bend for 14 years and hosting on Airbnb for four years now! We enjoy living so close to everything Bend has to offer, everything is at our fingertips here! It's just the right sized town, five to ten minutes or less gets you to so many things that Bend has to offer, about two miles to beautiful Downtown Bend, Drake Park on the River, The Old Mill, and many other great places to go for wide varieties of things to do. We also have parks, shops, restaurants, trails, and more, even closer to home. (See our guidebook / maps for a sample) We take our dog "Ollie" to beautiful Riverbend Park where he can play fetch and swim in the River with his buddies, across from the Old Mill and hang out at the large grass areas there watching people float, raft, or paddle the river in many interesting ways. It's a great place to eat lunch or dinner and relax and I love to hike from there up along the river trail (see photo), you can hike several miles along the river and see many interesting sites along the way, it is just one of so many fantastic experiences that are so close to home. As if there weren't enough great things to see and do right here in town, when you venture out of town a whole other world opens up. There isn't enough room on the page to describe it all. (We have brochures, literature, and maps with great photographs that you can browse for hours here in your room while you are relaxing and settling in for your stay.) Our cat "Woody" is hanging around the house, or not, but always comes in for food when he feels like it. A hike up to the top of Pilot Butte is something I like to do to keep in shape and enjoy the 360 degree panoramic vistas of Oregon as far as the eye can see. It looks like a long way away to the top from our house but you can walk there and back in about an hour and enjoy the best views of the city, mountains, and forest as far as the eye can see (500 ft elevation gain). It's a good way to start the day or for a great sunset. Or you can drive up in a couple of minutes. (Spring, Summer, Fall). So, we love our pets, Linda loves to cook, and we love to garden and landscape, design & decorate. We like to just hang out at different sitting areas around the house and play fetch with Ollie again.
We have made some great friends and had many good times hosting on Airbnb over the last two years and are looking forward to this year! It has been an enriching and rewarding experience for us and many of our guests tell us the same thing. We always enjoy meeting people from around the country, and the globe!
"Enjoy, Live, Relax, give back" We try to keep it simple!

Exhibition Schedule
Natural Beauty: Photographic works by Nori Hall and Mitch Eckert
Mitch Eckert has produced a series of photographs using a variety of camera formats, from pinhole cameras to his iPhone. This collection of 14 pieces studies the rich surfaces contained within formal and botanical gardens while framing them within the stage of the constructed landscape. Each photograph explores formal arrangements of hedgerows, topiaries, vistas, glass house conservatories, and garden walls.
Nori Hall has found photography to be a magical arena where she can play. The intent is to provide for herself, and the viewer, pure aesthetic pleasure even as her imagery evokes irony between the ideal places she depicts and everyday settings. Hall's images emphasize order and solidity found within the landscape and arrive at a sublime abstraction of color and shape permeated with a lyrical, shadowy glow. The result is a consistently picturesque and romantic, but stylized, window on a world that crosses between reality and dreams.
Artists Bios:
After earning his B.F.A. in photography and sculpture from the Herron School of Art Mitch Eckert received an M.F.A from Ohio University where he focused on photography, printmaking and art history. Mitch is currently an associate professor of art at the University of Louisville. His work for the past fifteen years has focused on the multifaceted and complex interpretation of the still life. His current work explores the engineered landscape focusing on botanic and formal gardens. Throughout, he has incorporated traditional and digital photographic techniques.
Eckert's work resides in several institutions and museums including Brown-Forman Corporation, Kentucky State University, the Photographic Archives at the University of Louisville, the Butler Institute of American Art and 21c. Museum.
Before pursuing photography professionally , Nori Hall worked as an architect in New York City and, later, as a project manager for real estate development companies in the San Francisco Bay area. Her education includes an MBA from Stanford University's Graduate School of Business, a Master of Architecture degree from Rice University, a Graduate Diploma from The Architectural Association, and a Bachelor of Arts degree from Smith College where she majored in economics and fine arts.
For the past two decades, Ms. Hall has been devoted to landscape photography. She shoot with a Hasselbrand medium format film camera and print digitally. She works in her backyard and those of friends, in formal English gardens, and in the rural Kentucky landscape. Ms. Hall is represented by Ann Tower Gallery of Lexington Kentucky.

Nagel to Head AT&T Labs -- AT&T announced today Dave Nagel will leave his position as senior vice president at Apple Computer to become the first president of AT&T Labs. AT&T Labs, a new research organization formed around what used to be Bell Laboratories, includes about 2,000 staff members dealing with a wide range of software and communications technologies. Nagel most recently led Apple's worldwide research and development group; prior to that he headed up AppleSoft. [GD]
Open Files with Finder's App Switcher
Say you're in the Finder looking at a file and you want to open it with an application that's already running but which doesn't own that particular document. How? Switch to that app and choose File > Open? Too many steps. Choose Open With from the file's contextual menu? Takes too long, and the app might not be listed. Drag the file to the Dock and drop it onto the app's icon? The icon might be hard to find; worse, you might miss.
In Leopard there's a new solution: use the Command-Tab switcher. Yes, the Command-Tab switcher accepts drag-and-drop! The gesture required is a bit tricky. Start dragging the file in the Finder: move the file, but don't let up on the mouse button. With your other hand, press Command-Tab to summon the switcher, and don't let up on the Command key. Drag the file onto the application's icon in the switcher and let go of the mouse. (Now you can let go of the Command key too.) Extra tip: If you switch to the app beforehand, its icon in the Command-Tab switcher will be easy to find; it will be first (or second).

Pony Burned Shielding Foal In Fire Fights To Heal
FORT WORTH (AP) — A pony is getting treatment for burns after shielding her foal in a barn fire.
Whitney Hanson of the Humane Society of North Texas tells the Fort Worth Star-Telegram Bella and her foal, Butterscotch, have received round-the-clock treatment at a Decatur equine clinic.
The two were rescued from an April 6 barn fire near Alvarado. Hanson says Bella was found on top of Butterscotch, shielding her from flames but receiving serious burns over much of her body.
Hanson says the Humane Society took over their treatment when their owners couldn't afford them. From across the country, especially from mothers, donations came. Hanson says the costs continue to mount, though.
Hanson said Bella "is still not out of the woods" but her veterinarians are optimistic about her prognosis.

BG (Los Angeles )
For the price, I definitely got a great deal. Most jackets were double the cost. The fit/finish and durability met expectations, and the hoodie was a plus. Will definitely purchase my next jacket through Superstore.
Brian (Redding )
This is my first helmet purchase. I found the fit tight at first, but has settled in well. The shield doesn't keep the wind completely out, which is only needed in cold weather riding. Good airflow in warm weather. Looks awesome.
Jeff (Denver )
First time buying a full face helmet. I got to break the helmet in with a nice hour plus ride and it was great. I wear glasses so I was surprised when I put down the sun visor and it didn't hit my glasses or anything, and worked perfectly. I cracked the bottom part of the helmet shield during the ride and never did I feel like I was over heating. I would recommend this helmet to anyone who wants a good helmet for a good price.
josh (albany )
I bought a small helmet and installed the medium pads and the helmet fits perfect.
coyote79 (Wylie )
Good clarity, performance, but can be susceptible to nicks/ scratches. Haven't found ANY visor, Scorpion or otherwise that prevents fogging. The fit & latching mechanism is great, although it does take some trial- error at first. These visors are also overpriced for the value, the only reason I give it 3 stars
kellen k (candor )
Well built, fits a little small so order one size larger.

The previous chapter concluded that Kant's conception of the best human life as one lived in accordance with moral duty pursued for its own sake encounters serious difficulties. Three of these are specially important. First, it seems impossible to disregard the successfulness of our actions in deciding how well or badly we are spending our lives. Second, Kant's categorical imperative, by means of which we are supposed to determine what our duty actually is, is purely formal, with the result that contradictory prescriptions can be made to square with it. Third, the divorce between a morally virtuous life and a personally happy and fulfilling life, and the emphasis upon deserving to be happy rather than actually being happy, leaves us with a problem about motivation. Why should anyone aspire to live morally, if doing so has no necessary connection with living happily?
If these are indeed major problems with the 'duty for duty's sake' conception of a good life, we might suppose that a more successful conception is to be obtained by giving pride of place to happiness and our success in bringing it about. This is just what utilitarianism, the major rival to Kantian moral theory, does. In order to understand the importance of utilitarianism properly, something needs to be said about its origins. We can then consider its merits as a way of thinking about good and bad, right and wrong.
The term 'utilitarianism' first came to prominence in the early nineteenth century but not as the name of a philosophical doctrine. It was rather the

Shop Talk: Tools of the Trade
I recently came across an article by Michele Filgate on Literary Hub entitled "Writers and Their Favorite Tools." Filgate indulges in a bit of shop talk on tools of the trade, but also explores some of the nostalgia and memory behind why we use the tools we do. That, and this recent video my wife shared awhile back, got me thinking: if car enthusiasts can talk horsepower, and hunters can swap stories of guns and bows and calls, why can't we as writers and artists and singers talk about our favorite tools? So, whatever your artistic bent is, what are some of your favorite tools of the trade, and why? I'll start:
When it comes to writing poetry or prose, I usually get ideas when I'm out walking, so I like to carry a pocket Moleskine. I also have a larger, paperback size Moleskine for when I want to do some longer form drafting without feeling cramped. I also recently purchased some Shinola Detroit small ruled page notebooks that I'm looking forward to trying.
For writing with, I've long used the smooth Pilot G-2 05 gel pen. It just flows nice and lasts forever. Recently I discovered the Moleskine Roller Pen .05 mm Fine Point, which is really nice, although tends to smear because I'm a lefty. I did briefly try a Bobino pen that hides in the cover of my notebook, but I don't like it very much because it feels too insubstantial and the writing is dry and scratchy.
Death and Desire in the Shadows
I've always considered Jon Foreman to be a prophet of sorts to the postmodern world. Ever since Switchfoot, his main musical venture, broke into the mainstream with "Meant to Live," his songs have challenged us to consider the meaning of our existence here on earth, and our often futile chase after fleeting pleasures. Along with these themes, his songwriting has harbored an increasing focus on death, and seeking out true life in light of impending mortality. The lyrics of "Where I Belong" come to mind, from one of Switchfoot's more recent albums, Vice Verses:
But I'm not sentimental
This skin and bones is a rental
And no one makes it out alive
Until I die I'll sing these songs
On the shores of Babylon
Still looking for a home
In a world where I belong
These themes of death and desire come to full fruition in Foreman's latest solo EP Shadows, which is part of a four EP project called The Wonderlands, a set of twenty-four songs moving through Sunlight, Shadows, Darkness, and Dawn.
The Works of J. R. R. Tolkien
My 12 week online class, Tolkien I: The Silmarillion and The Hobbit, starts on August 31, followed by Tolkien II: The Lord of the Rings in the spring of 2016. Find out more and register here. In the meantime, here's a little about my own personal journey into Tolkien:
My love affair with the mythology of J.R.R. Tolkien has been relatively short but passionate. As a child, I had a peripheral knowledge of some book called The Lord of the Rings by someone named Tolkien that was considered to be relatively important. But I never read it, or The Hobbit for that matter. In fact, I did not crack the covers of these books until about fourteen years ago. I heard that a movie of The Fellowship of the Ring was being made and would come out in December of 2001. Given my faint knowledge of Tolkien and his greatness, I kept up on its development, and when it came out, I went to see it.

The Slow Growth of Ideas, Part 2
Read the first part of this series here.
A few years ago I had the opportunity to attend my first writing conference. Having never been to one before, I wasn't entirely sure what to expect, but I ended up gleaning a lot of great advice from the experienced writers, editors, and publishers who were gathered there.
One moment that particularly stuck out to me was during a panel discussion, when one of the writers dropped a comment that has been on my mind ever since. He referred to the work of writing as being a creative "long obedience in the same direction" (which is a quote from Nietzsche but has also been popularized by author Eugene Peterson).
Aging Into Art
It's likely you've never heard the name Katsushika Hokusai, but his work informs our thinking when it comes to what we perceive as Japanese art. For example, you've probably seen some form of his most famous painting (above), known simply as "The Great Wave," which is part of a larger series called 36 Views of Mount Fuji. Hokusai lived from 1760-1849, and started training as an artist around the age of 12, but only produced his most important work, including "The Great Wave," after 60.
I had a chance to view a special exhibition of his work this past week at the Boston Museum of Fine Arts. Amidst the many prints was a quote from the artist himself, which caught my attention:
"From the age of six I had a penchant for copying the form of things, and from about 50, my pictures were frequently published; but until the age of 70, nothing that I drew was worthy of notice. At 73 years, I was somewhat able to fathom the growth of plants and trees, and the structure of birds, animals, insects, and fish. Thus when I reach 80 years, I hope to have made increasing progress, and at 90 to see further into the underlying principles of things, so that at 100 years I will have achieved a divine state in my art, and at 110, every dot and every stroke will be as though alive."
Hokusai's thoughts present a startling contrast to our culture obsessed with youth and quick success, and they hint at the long, disciplined process of mastery. What do you think of Hokusai's words as they apply to the life of the artist, or to life in general?
The Slow Growth of Ideas
Writing is a process in which we discover what lives in us. The writing itself reveals what is alive. -Henri Nouwen, "Theological Ideas in Education"
I was born impetuous and energetic by nature. I've spent a good part of my life hitching myself onto ideas born in the moment, dashing them off, and catching the next ride. There was a time when I was the answer man, and it didn't take much to let me blast you with my expert 17-year-old opinion.
Thankfully, life and a little maturity happened and taught me to shut up and listen a bit more, to read and think a little longer before speaking. And yet, as I started to get serious about writing in my late teens and early twenties, the impatient fire continued to burn in other ways. I was under the impression, in those early days, that all good and genuine creative writing had to come in the moment, and that to later change or edit this inspiration from on high would somehow destroy the purity of the work.
The Legacy of Terry Pratchett
Several weeks ago, I heard the news that Sir Terry Pratchett, British fantasy author extraordinaire, had finally succumbed to the terrible disease of Alzheimer's. At the time I happened to be in the middle of reading one of his Discworld novels, Unseen Academicals. The sad news led me to recall my first encounter with his stories, and the impact they've had on my life.
I first came across Pratchett's fiction while I was in grad school doing research on my master's thesis. I was studying postmodern fairytales, particularly those of A. S. Byatt, and while doing so I read an essay in which she discussed his novel Witches Abroad, which cleverly turns the fairy tale structure on its head. So in the name of "research" I got my hands on a copy and dove in. From this encounter I realized a few things. First, Terry Pratchett is the most hilarious author that I've ever had the privilege of reading, and I'd argue probably one of the funniest writers ever. The man's wit knew no bounds, and he was liberal with it. I'd often find myself chuckling over small asides like this one from Guards! Guards!: "The Supreme Grand Master opened his eyes. He was lying on his back. Brother Diddykins was preparing to give him the kiss of life. The mere thought was enough to jerk anyone from the borders of consciousness."
Poetry and Pressing Into Lent
Back about 10 years ago, three things converged in my life that would prove momentous to my personal growth: I started getting serious about writing poetry, I was discovering the literary legacy of Lewis and Tolkien, and I was also beginning to uncover the riches of the church calender. As it happened, Easter was approaching, and I was eager to practice Lent. I had always been soberly and mysteriously drawn to Passion Week in all its agony, ecstasy, and wonder, and I wanted to honor the story in my own way. Having steeped myself in the ambitious poetry of T. S. Eliot and the epic recreations of Tolkien, I thought to rewrite the Passion as a heroic "lay," in an exercise of personal devotion. So week by week, I poured over the Gospel accounts, and let my imagination cast the story in the mode of a bard. Sixteen poems later, I had completed the last part of what would eventually become The Lay of the Lord trilogy: Birth, Life, and Death & Triumph. I had attempted to present the spirit of "True Myth" which J. R. R. Tolkien talks about in "Fairy Stories," without getting too archaic for modern sensibilities.
Engaging in such a project enabled me to see the story of Jesus with fresh eyes, to recapture a sense of the drama and the characters involved: the impending doom of Jesus' ride into Jerusalem, the intellectual parry and thrust of His sparrings with the Pharisees, the darkness of Gethsemane, the gloom of Golgotha. Doing so allowed me to slip past the watchful dragons of my own settled thoughts about these all too familiar tales.
A Wilderness In The Neighborhood: Annie Dillard and the Art of Nature Writing
Recently I stumbled across an interesting piece by Diane Saverin in The Atlantic about Annie Dillard and the writing of her Pulitzer Prize winning work Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. Dillard's book, like many works on nature, has been shrouded in a sort of holy aura by readers. There's this sense that all such writers disappear into the wilderness to sit on a log for several months in order to get in touch with the sublime spirit of the rocks and trees. The Thoreau mythos prevails. And yet, as Saverin's article reveals, Dillard was an ordinary Virginia housewife living in the suburbs at the time she constructed her book:
She wasn't a man living alone in the wild. In fact, she wasn't even living alone. She was residing in an ordinary house with her husband—her former college poetry professor, Richard Dillard. Before she published her book, she scribbled in her journal, wondering who would take her book seriously if its author was a "Virginia housewife named Annie."
Saverin's essay is a fascinating look at the process behind one of the 20th century's most enduring works of non-fiction, and touches on many other issues along the way. Here are a few excerpts.
Cracks In The Canvas: Encountering Art
The other day I had a chance to visit the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston. Even though most of the exhibits remain the same, I like to go at least once every year to refresh my experience and my memory. As a creative and art-conscious person, there's something pilgrim-like about it. We travel to such centers of art in order to expand our vision and our senses once again. I was thinking something along these lines as I wandered the galleries.
I was particularly struck by how galleries remind us of the "reality" of certain types of art. It seems today that more and more art is coming to us through digital means. We pick and download songs through the internet. We stream films or television shows likewise. We can even look at famous paintings or photographs via our computer screens. Granted, real flesh-and-blood artists played real instruments in a studio and created those sounds. Real actors got dirt thrown on them or played out their scenes on sets or somewhere out in the world. But that sometimes gets lost in the magical digitalization through which most of this comes to us.
But at the MFA, I was in a repository of real, immediate, touchable art.
Superheroes, Space Outlaws, and the Church
What do a bunch of space outlaws, a raccoon, a sentient tree, and a handful of human and alien superheroes have to teach us about the church?
Quite a bit actually.
I had the chance to see Marvel's summer blockbuster Guardians of the Galaxy back in August. With its story of a group of space misfits and outlaws coming together for a greater cause, it reminded me a bit of the TV show Firefly, the brainchild of none other than Marvel director Joss Whedon. Firefly, which attained cult status after its very brief run on Fox in 2002, follows the adventures of Captain Malcolm Reynolds and his crew on the ship Serenity. These characters, all brought together from various walks of life and for sometimes questionable motives, are initially at odds. But over time they become a quirky family who learns to work together for a greater purpose, which in Whedon's follow up film Serenity becomes unmasking the corrupt Alliance government. What Whedon excels at is giving each character their own screen time and back story in which we learn about the ways these loners and oddballs have been broken or wounded, and why they really need each other.
Whedon, of course, went on to direct Marvel's massive tag-team film The Avengers, in which Iron Man, Thor, Captain America, and their associates come together to defeat the threat of Thor's adopted brother, the scheming and narcissistic Loki. Avengers plays out this theme of misfits coming together on a larger scale. For a superhero film, it's fascinating that Whedon spends almost two thirds of the time exploring the dynamics of these slightly dysfunctional, damaged, and extraordinary individuals coming together as a team. As Whedon has said about the film, "Ultimately these people don't belong together and the whole movie is about finding yourself from community. And finding that you not only belong together but you need each other, very much."
In Praise of Christmas
In praise of Christmas
raise your voice
and join the boisterous angel chorus
who celebrates the holy Son
of heaven sent to earth.
In praise of Christmas
light your candles,
deck your trees in red and gold,
proclaim the dawn of Light
upon a cold and darkened world.
In praise of Christmas
give your gifts
to loved ones and to strangers both;
reflect the generous King
who gave His only precious One.
In praise of Christmas
mark the feast
and raise your glasses high together,
for the child's laughter
tells us hope has come at last.
In praise of Christmas,
laud the Father,
laud the Spirit,
laud the Son!
Incarnation now accomplished,
redemption's loving victory begun!
Sacred Groves: An Autumn Reflection
I arrive
just in time to see
one yellow leaf

On mornings like this, I can begin to understand why the ancients set aside sacred groves and sanctuaries of nature as places for communion with the gods. I think […]
The Thin Places of Fantasy
Why would you go back to normal, if you found out that life could be so much more? If you found a reality so much better than what the world was offering you?
This is what some of the best fantasy literature reminds me of and points me toward.
Now when it comes to fantasy, there are different kinds. There's the fantasy of a Tolkien, which immerses us in an entirely different realm from our own. Then there's the fantasy that starts grounded in the normal world then pulls back a veil into a realm of wonder. This is the fantasy of Lewis's Narnia books, of the Harry Potter series, and of some of my personal favorites like Stephen Lawhead's Song of Albion trilogy and, most recently, Neil Gaiman's The Graveyard Book and Neverwhere. And while I love Tolkien, what I particularly love about these latter books is the way they reawaken me to the magic threaded through the fabric of creation. Alan Jacobs argues along these lines in a recent essay, "Fantasy and the Buffered Self":
[T]he desire for a world resonant with spiritual meaning, of one kind or another, does not easily die — perhaps cannot die until humanity itself does. Technology is power, but disenchanted power. And so the more dominant mechanical and then electronic technologies become as shapers of the social order, the more ingenious grow the strategies of resistance to their disenchanting force — the strategies by which we deny the necessary materiality of power. In the literary realm, the chief such strategy is the emergence of fantasy genre.
Why is this drive to re-enchant ourselves so tenacious? Or even further, why is it important? The reason is that such fantasies, while not true, do point us to a truth about the world, that the physical is woven inextricably with the spiritual.
Hobbits and Adaptations
So the first trailer for the last Hobbit film has been released, which means the re-commencement of The Battle of the Five (or more) Opinions of The Hobbit Films. Here in the Rabbit Room we are passionate about our books, our films, and our books made into films. When it comes to Peter Jackson's second foray into Middle-earth, I know there are strong opinions on both sides. All of this brought to my mind the idea of adaptation, and how we think about that.
Earlier this year, I had the opportunity to teach The Hobbit to high school students. One week I had them watch the two films, and then we discussed the films vs. the books. In my own search for material, I stumbled across a very helpful discussion of adaptation, and how we think about book-to-film adaptation, by Tolkien scholar Corey Olsen. He deals with the buildup to The Desolation of Smaug, but also spends a bit of time discussing general principles of adaptation. The lecture is pretty long at 2 1/2 hours, but well worth your time if you'd really like to listen.
Olsen's lecture, and the reemerging discussion with the release of the last Hobbit trailer, has brought some questions to mind that I thought I might share here, and spark some discussion on adaptation in general:
1. How much responsibility does a filmmaker have to adhering strictly to a text vs. creating their own vision of a text? Is an author's opinion and vision of their own work the final authority? Consider that when you read a story, how you imagine the characters and environment may be very different than how the author does. Does this make you wrong?
2. Is it possible for a filmmaker to improve upon a book in some ways?
3. Is it possible to love both a book and a film adaptation of the book, even if they are significantly different, without betraying a sense of "loyalty" to the original story?
4. How do we navigate the gap between two very different mediums, which require two very different storytelling styles, in a knowledgeable way?
Let's have a good, respectful discussion. Duels are only allowed over whether Galadriel is the fairest of them all.
