What can I say, I absolutely love this hotel we have not been back in a couple of years and unlike most hotels the service or has not declined one bit, everything has been kept just the way than when it opened back in 2010! I was upgraded to a corner suite on the 41st floor with beautiful views of the bay which was the highlight of my day, the room was immaculate, just like I remebered. The staff was very friendly and helpful, they took care of everything since the moment we arrived at the hotel, we got a great deal at the SPA since it was "SPA week" and several of thir services were only $50.
My car was always ready when I needed it and everyone was very cortous and professional.
The hotel has several amenities such as a bowling alley ($25 bucks an hour for up to 8 people per line not a bad deal at all!!!) pool table, basketball court, golf academy, 19th floor pool with great views of the bay.
Their concierge room is also open during the weekends (In most full service hotels are only open during the week) featuring complimentary breakfast, light snaks (in the afternoon) and soft drinks throught the day.
Overall a great place to be and very conviniently located. Will definetely return!

Mammogram from Hell
Men certainly suffer physical exam indignities. But I doubt any man in a medical office was treated with the condescension I met this morning. Ever.
Privacy was not the problem. Heavens, I've given birth three times. Once a mother, few women think twice about a bit of breast-flashing in a medical setting. No, privacy's not the issue.
The problem was the attitude of the energetic radiology tech who rushed through what's probably a boring drill for her. Older woman. Healthy patient. Routine exam. Blah blah blah.
She raced down the hallway, oblivious that I'm a slow walker, given my wobbly right hip. When she noticed me lagging behind her track-star pace, she coaxed me sedately as though I was not comprehending her "OK, turn right. Now it's the fourth door on your right. See? This door..."
She directed me to the usual chair encircled by a hospital curtain, but cautioned, "Don't sit down. It's hard to stand back up again!" Huh? I sat down, removed red tank-top and pink bra, then donned the requisite ugly front-opening half-gown.
I stepped to the digital radiology equipment (see above), and started to lean in exactly as I've done yearly since the medical group went digital. The tech rushed over... "No sweetie, not like that. Just follow me. Drop your arms. I'll show you..." Sweetie?
I go limp, and let her contort my arms and chest into awkward picture-friendly positions. And then it happened. Once.Twice. Two more times for lateral views.
She affixed my breast between the two mega-slides, then ZAP, she auto-closed the slides. For good measure, I assume, she then manually twisted knobs twice (or more?) to tighten the vise with the power of a weight-lifter.
Electricity coursed through my system. Shocked, I briefly yelped. Never before have I experienced intense pain at a mammogram. This pain was searing. I told her it was too tight. Her response? "Be quiet. You need to hold still." Uh, what? "Look how red my breast is," I nicely complained about my mottled strawberry-red skin. "Happens to everyone," she quipped, not bothering to look.
She rapidly repeated her process three more times. Never letting up the unnecessary pressure. Never listening or responding to me. In fact, the last two, it seemed she clamped that vise down a tad harder, if that was physically possible. But maybe my breasts were so sore by that time, the torture felt more acute. Intimidated, I stayed quiet.
Lest you think I'm a whiner. I've been told by the best that my pain tolerance is pretty high (except for childbirth, of course). A respected orthopedic surgeon once lectured me at length that I need to be more aware of pain. That being too mind-over-matter coupled with obliviousness to pain is not a formula for good health.
I sat in the curtained chair to clothe. Done with her tasks, the radiology tech shouted to me, "Do you know how to get to the lobby? Turn left out of the door, then left at the corner." She abruptly exited another door, slamming it hard in her hurried wake.
I am grateful beyond measure for good medical care. I am grateful for the technical skills of this radiology tech. I am grateful that almost without exception, I have dealt with medical professionals who treat patients with respect and reasonable sensitivity.
Today, though, I experienced the mammogram from hell. This mammogram was painful and more than a little humiliating, and in only 20 minutes.
I finally understand why many women detest, and often wrongly avoid, mammograms. Hard to imagine that men are treated with the same indifference or condescension as shown to me in this simple medical test.

Still Crazy After All These Years
Just returned from a refreshing weeklong vacation on the big Island with Ron, of course. (See my window for ritual morning coffee, at right.) Ready to return to my blogging roots.
Aloha, friends!
I haven't written at The Crazy Woman ("TCW") for two years. Been busy, growing and expanding, experiencing highs and lows of this life. More about that later... I lost four years of TCW writings, from 2010 to 2014, including a few deeply poignant pieces. I have high hopes of still salvaging the posts from a bungled download. But writing, like life, must carry on...
The Crazy Woman was my first blog, and remains the blog I love best. It's personal, not political or professional or bound for big-time publishing. It's my musings. It's my blog, my page, my thoughts.
I started TCW in 2003 when I first heard of blogging, in the same year my oldest daughter, Trisha, married. In the year that the U.S. started the Iraq War, and changed everything in this country.
Much has changed for me, too, especially in the last four years. Trisha is no longer married, but living the life she always wanted in New York City. Successful woman, that one, especially at marketing. Can scare up a terrific job faster than anyone I've ever known.
My parents both passed away earlier this year, of separate but similar causes. Married 67 years, they were part of each other in every way. Theirs was a marriage full of joy, fun, and sadness, misunderstandings and too much illness. But always, family and commitment.
As for our other adult children, Kevin and lovely wife Lauren, fashion and design guru, live in Berkeley with two cats. Kevin continues to be a star in marketing for a major database corporation. Lucky guy takes BART into The City, and works two blocks from the Giants ballpark. Ryan (and kids) reside near us here in Orange County, and labors mightily in the software field. We feel blessed beyond words to see them often, and be part of their lives.
Yours, mine, and then there's ours... Andrea, our only kid still a twentysomething, lives in greater Washington D.C. Astonishing that she graduated three years ago from that college in Connecticut. She works at a health-related think tank funded, in part, by the Gates Foundation;. is finishing a post-bac pre-med program at University of Maryland; and plans to apply next spring to medical schools. Lots of her friends live in D.C. and New York, so you can imagine, we don't see her much.
Here's the thing. Our kids have their own lives. "Cat's in the Cradle" and all that jazz... they don't need us much anymore. We are finding our way again. I am finding my way again. Still crazy after all these years, I'm pleased to report.
That's what I will be writing about now at The Crazy Woman. Finding my way, post-parenting and post-parents. Check back often. I'd love to share this journey with you.

Our Own Private Mardi Gras
Sunday, February 07, 2010
The Pastor Who Married Us Was Wrong
After a candlelit dinner at home last night to celebrate our two decades of marriage, I gave Ron one of those attractive, designed-for-a-man Hallmark cards.
The trendy blue card looked oddly stark, though, and short on heartfelt sentiment, so I covered the inside with a list of things I love about him.
Things he does. Things I admire. Things we do and are together. Things he does for me and for our family. Small things. Big things. Thoughtful things.
My list brought rare tears to Ron's eyes.
Likewise, he selected a pretty, poetic card for me that he signed "You are my everything."
Sure, we've had our disagreements. Moments of angry frustration. Times when either or both felt disappointed or smothered or bewildered. But we never doubted that we belonged together.
Meeting with us in his small church office, the weary, middle-aged pastor reported results of our premarital tests with a deep sigh, "Well, I have good news and bad news...
"The bad news is that you two are very, very different. The good news is that you know it. And you're fine with it."
Indeed, we do know it. And we're fine with it. Just fine.

What Makes You Happy?
What makes you happy?
That's the subject of a puzzling new book, The Happiness Project, by a youngish woman who embarks on an ambitious quest to seek out tasks that make her "happy."
(She concludes that cleaning closets, "acting energetic," and exercising are on her happiness short-list. In reality, what also makes her happy is writing at length about herself doing tasks. But I digress... )
The question is a serious one these days for people mired in the busy rat-race of the world. But the question is not:
- What makes you content?
- What gives you peace?
- What brings you joy?
The question is... What makes you happy? The dictionary here on my desk defines happy as "feeling or showing pleasure," which, to me, implies a temporary condition. A fleeting feeling of bliss, far more temporary than, say, contentment, joy, or certainly, peace.
I've fought blood pressure battles for over decade, and have taken mild medication for most of that time. At my doctor's behest, I bought a good-quality blood pressure wrist monitor (see photo above) five or so years ago, and have used it sporadically... sometimes diligently, sometimes forgetting it altogether for months at a stretch.
While I feel great these days, and less excitable as the years drift by, blood pressure is again, and always, an issue. And my doctor is rightly peeved that the monitor has recently gathered dust.
I dusted it off last week, and bought new batteries for it. And like the author of the The Happiness Project, I've started a project ot studying what makes me happy... feeling pleasure, relaxed, devoid of stress... via measuring my blood pressure at all times of day and night, in a variety of circumstances.
Here's what I've observed via blood pressure reading, thus far, that makes me happy:
- Reading interesting books when the house is quiet.
- Writing for personal pleasure, usually not about politics.
- Cooking creatively for someone who enjoys it.
- Doing things for my family that makes them feel listened to, supported, and/or loved.
- Listening to most praise music and many kinds of jazz.
- Sitting on the couch with Ron later at night, talking, laughing, watching dumb TV shows or baseball scores, winding down from the day.
- Hugs. Hugging. (And other acts of affection, of course.)
(My blood pressure falls, too, while I'm eating. Seriously... I measured it. No wonder I like eating too much... This pleasure is more of a problem, than positive attribute, in my family.)
Cleaning closets or any other part of the house, garage or yard will never be on my bliss list, although our house is tidy and well-organized. Nor will exercising or crafting/sewing or most shopping . Or hanging out with unkind folks or those who take themselves far too seriously.
Now, none of my "happiness" factors are particularly original. Frankly, my inner critic finds them embarrassing, more than a little mawkish and oh-so Lifetime-ish. But like my talents and flaws, my green-gold eyes and milky skin, my arthritic knees and chubby thighs and big feet... they're mine. All mine. Given to me by an infinitely gracious God.
Contentment, though, is not a perpetual state of bliss, but rather, a tension between taking care of one's responsibilites within community and world, and savoring moments of happiness that allow us to refuel to face our stressful, imperfect world. And, of course, contentment isn't possible without an ever-growing relationship with our God...
My advice to anyone else confused about "What makes me happy?" Get a blood pressure monitor. Like a polygraph test, it's a truth teller. And truth detector.

The Future Nanny!!! We went out Saturday night with friends, so our babysitter that has been watching the kids for 2+ years came over and she keeps hinting at wanting to nanny for us. DH said that once we had 3 kids I could have a nanny/mothers helper! So.... we asked her and she said YES!!! She ends her current nanny job in May so it's perfect!
We might keep the boys home(not daycare) this summer and she can take them to activites while I take care of the baby. So excited to have some help this time! yay!!
I think the next person we tell is DH's dad. My belly is starting to get round and he notices those things, so I have been hiding from him lately.
So anyone else tell yet?

Breaking my vows of secrecy for you

To begin with, and I know that I have to be true to my experiences and my own lifelong memories, for I'm kind of on assignment (cosmic) or like in Dolores Cannon's books, I answer the distress call, but it's also about our family here and reaching some trapped in endless testing ground, so that the various honorable, benevolent mystery school practictioners all seem to have distortions and various forms of Law of One, whereas this isn't true, when you in meditation connect to the ALL mind, that is your Infinite Higher Self, but there are Infinite Higher Selves, or All's, everyone is an infinite part of infinity and unique, and it's really a system of infinite progression. With a cutoff point to the duality. And to allow someone to cast Mom/Dad in the role of Smiter or Tough Love, or to cast them in the role of Duality, half lover of power, half power of love, is to bear FALSE TESTIMONY. So I do speak up. Because I know from whence I came and where I go.(I'm well aware of the opposite polarity as well in mystery school practitioners!)
But I've been looking into a few things, because some of it, along with some of the ancient wisdom, which is buried in The Taoist Alchemy, (and this link to Egypt, Sumar, Atlantis, but in reality in its wisdom of Sophia, Mother, Matrix/Womb, Equality and Love to graduate, this is previous cycles, millions of years ago, Lemuria/Mu, and past civilizations that peopled the solar system and was known as The Equality! The natives continued to practice various forms of a moneyless resource society for eons, before Europe domination ended that here). The Tao is what Christ practiced (ie the precious pearl is your Light Body formation, and the inner world is the REAL WORLD.) The outer is the mirror.
How to Turn a Sphere Inside Out
Also, I have spent a couple hours trying to decide if you're a wolf in sheeps clothing.
The information on smoking tobacco, even the toxic waste kind is OK, spiritually, but cannibis is a trap, is so erroneous that it either means you allowed them to pull the wool over your eyes, or you are deliberately encouraging the harmful, and lying about the beneficial.
Tobacco, is not good, its not a mortal sin, but its harmful to you and others, and striving to overcome it is Good Positive Intent and Action.
Cannibis is Given By Higher Ups as powerful medicine and Shamanism.
As to someone hijacking your pineal. Not possible, if, and this is important, IF YOU'RE DOING THE RIGHT THING.
Its a phone line, what number do you dial when you open your third eye? It's a frequency match. Hence, there are no shortcuts to awakening. Just being a ruthless dictator and taking shaman drugs, and then saying I AM CHRIST, means you will be in communication with a frequency match or a Bigger Bully than you are.
Hence you can't avoid the heart and throat (ministry or STO) chakra. To renounce and see through the world and stop being selfish.
Then your frequency match will be OK. ET Phone home.
Sungazing too! Huge metaphysical boost, but also, ET phone home!
Have Faith in Love and Goodness, your heart already knows, your soul will wake and remember more, seek within for the answers are there.

'Tis the Season! I'm excited to be a part of a blogger Ornament Exchange Project. Erlene from My Pinterventures partnered 80 bloggers for the exchange. It kicked off on November 2 and will continue through November 13. You're sure to be inspired by tons of ornament ideas.
Make sure you stop by Erlene's 2015 Ornament Exchange Post to find links to the entire collection of ornaments.
I wanted my ornament to be something that anyone could make with only a few supplies. I was partnered with Dee from Cupcakes and Crowbars and we discovered that our Christmas tree decorating styles are a match. We both have a hodgepodge of ornaments that either hold special meaning or are ornaments that we simply love.
I love rustic, wood ornaments that have a splash of glam to them. I'm hopeful that Dee will enjoy this look, too.
I saw a set of wooden coasters at Marshall's for $5.99 and I thought they would be perfect for this project. I liked the variations in the wood.
I began by tapping a tiny nail into the top of the coaster to make it easier to screw the hook into.
I had to use a pair of pliers to get the hook securely into the wood.
I added a metal snow flake charm around the hook and followed that with gold ribbon tied into a small bow. Using a gold paint pen, I added the year onto the back of the ornament. I already had the charms and the ribbon, so there was no added cost.
I purchased craft wood ornaments from Michaels and spray painted them gold. Once dry, I used hot glue to secure them to the coasters. I used tweezers to remove any visible strings of glue. The cost for three wooden ornaments with a coupon was about $3.00.
This truly was a simple project and I like how the ornaments turned out. They are a little rustic and a little glam.

The shortlist for the 2015 Speaker's Book Award has been announced, and The Ward has made the cut!
Hosted by the Legislative Assembly of Ontario, the Speaker's Book Award recognizes works by Ontario authors that reflects the diverse culture and rich history of the province and of its residents. The winner will be announced in March 2016.
We're extending huge congratulations to David McGimpsey, who has been awarded the 2015 Quebec Writers' Federation A.M. Klein Prize for Poetry for his collection Asbestos Heights!
André Alexis says he'll get right back to work after Giller win. Alexis took home the prize for his novel, Fifteen Dogs, on Tuesday, November 10th.
In a Q&A on 'Anti-Climactic Romance, Reading for Fun, and the Ethics of Representing Violence,' the Town Crier's Dana Ewachow talks with Andrew Battershill about is debut novel, Pillow.
Kerry Clare writes of the title character of Andrew Battershill's debut novel, Pillow: '[t]he name is an example of the book's natural, unique weirdness, which combines surrealism and crime fiction ... [t]he humour of this novel is also effortless and clear.'
'I wonder,' said Hermes, what it would be like if animals had human intelligence.'
Lucky for us, we don't have have to wonder – because André Alexis does all of the wondering for us.
In the wake of his Writer's Trust Fiction Prize win, André Alexis sat down with As It Happens' Carol Off to chat about his novel, Fifteen Dogs.

Keeler, who takes over the series editor role originated by Jason McBride, is the founding editor of Little Brother, an award-winning literary magazine, and is formerly the books editor of Canada's National Post.

Essiac/Flor Essence (PDQ®): Complementary and alternative medicine - Health Professional Information [NCI] - General Information
Essiac and Flor Essence are sold worldwide as health tonics or herbal dietary supplements.[1,10,2,3,4,9] In the United States, health tonics and dietary supplements are regulated as foods, not drugs. Therefore, premarket evaluation and approval by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are not required, and specific disease treatment or prevention claims are not allowed. Because health tonics and dietary supplements are not formally inspected for manufacturing consistency, there may be considerable variation from lot to lot, and there is no guarantee that ingredients identified on product labels are present at all or are present in the specified amounts. The FDA has not approved the use of either Essiac or Flor Essence for the treatment of patients with cancer or any other medical condition.
To conduct clinical drug research in the United States, researchers must file an Investigational New Drug (IND) application with the FDA. An IND application must also be made for clinical evaluation of dietary supplements as agents for the treatment or prevention of disease. The FDA's IND process is confidential, and the existence of an IND application can be disclosed only by the applicants. To date, no investigator has announced filing an IND application to study either Essiac or Flor Essence in the treatment of patients with cancer.
Essiac and Flor Essence are administered orally in the form of herbal teas.[1,4,6,7,8,10,17] Originally, an extract of one of the herbs (not specified) was administered to cancer patients by intramuscular injection at or near tumor sites, and the other herbs were administered orally as a tea.
Only minimal information about dose and schedule of administration is freely available from the manufacturer of Essiac.[1] According to the manufacturer, the dose will vary, depending on the reason for ingestion; the manufacturer's recommended schedules of administration assume a 12-week program of uninterrupted use.[1] Although Essiac is said to be safe for pets, no information is given about its safety in children.[1]
The manufacturer of Flor Essence states that adults may consume from 30 to 360 mL (i.e., 1-12 fl oz) of Flor Essence tea a day, depending on individual requirements, and that it may be used on an ongoing basis.[10] The manufacturer also suggests that Flor Essence may be safely consumed by infants and children, but its use by pregnant women and nursing mothers is not recommended.[10] The promotion of mammary tumors observed in a rat model of breast cancer raises the theoretical concern that Flor Essence may impact normal mammary ductal development during childhood, thereby raising concern about its use at this time.[18]

Stock truck sting used as test case
Relevant offers
Environment Southland chairman Ali Timms says she and her councillors were unaware a failed prosecution resulting from a joint regional council and police sting targeting stock truck drivers last winter was essentially a test case.
She has indicated she was unimpressed councillors were kept in the dark by council staff.
The council's staff and police stopped trucks to check for effluent discharge before and on Gypsy Day last year, with the council issuing 14 infringement notices against truck companies and their drivers as a result of the operations.
Some refused to pay and requested a hearing, with Environment Southland subsequently laying charges. The council later withdrew nine of the charges, including against Riverton trucking company Euan Shearing Contracting.
The company subsequently went for and won costs from the council.
Judge Jeff Smith, when finding in favour of the company, said the council's case was untested and brought in an attempt to argue whether a discharge from a vehicle could constitute an offence under the Resource Management Act and the proceedings were "not undertaken in good faith knowing an offence was committed".
Ms Timms has since revealed the councillors were unaware it was essentially a test case prosecution under Resource Management law, as identified by the judge.
"The fact council was unaware of the issue is a management issue. The council should be aware of such procedures and that is something management needs to sort out," she said.
An independent audit of Environment Southland's compliance division, called for by the council in part because of the way it handled the Shearing case, subsequently found last week that its handling of the Gypsy Day operation was "very sloppy" and it identified several problems relating to poor processes and procedures in the council's compliance division.
Despite being "very disappointed" with the audit's findings, Ms Timms said she fully supported the man in charge of the council's management team, chief executive Rob Phillips.
"We all want council to operate at its optimum level. Some issues have been raised and the audit has given clear direction of what needs to be done so these things don't happen again," she said.
The council supports Rob in doing that and we need to let him get on with the job."
Mr Phillips had been very open and pro-active about the situation, Ms Timms said. She said any reprimand was not for the council to determine.
"We are a governance body and don't employ any of the staff . . . that's [the] job of the chief executive."
Cr Robert Guyton also said that news the prosecution was untested had come as a surprise to the councillors and it was disappointing to learn it was untested from the subsequent events that unfolded.
"It would have been very helpful if we had known that that was the situation. Because we didn't we were unable to make judgments around that," he said.
Cr Guyton said he could not say councillors were happy with the findings of the resulting audit but actions had already been implemented to improve the system as a result. Cr Nicol Horrell, chairman of the Environmental Management Committee, said using the RMA to try to prevent effluent getting into water was probably not going to be used in that way again. "Certainly from a public nuisance and safety issue effluent spills were of concern and the Government didn't seem very keen on changing legislation. That's why we tried to do something."

Year-round use the key to recouping millions spent on training facilities
PHOENIX — Spring training is almost here.
With tens of millions spent on training facilities, some may wonder how Valley cities can make that money back, since the Cactus League is only played a few weeks out of a year.
The City of Peoria houses the Seattle Mariners and San Diego Padres and is shelling out 40 million dollars in renovations as part of a deal to keep both teams in Peoria for the next 20 years.
"The city knows we are going to lose money on it, [but] we don't lose that much," said Peoria's Director of Communications Bo Larsen. "What it does is that people come here, and] they partake in businesses around here, so we get it back through tax revenue."
City events, concerts and many other sporting activities are part of the answer, according Larsen.
"That's the key to making the stadium successful," Larsen said. "It's not just a Spring Training location, it's year-round use."
Having a stadium by itself is not a moneymaker, but it's the quality of life that it brings for residents in the Valley, and especially Peoria, that pays off, he said.
Pitchers and catchers report Wednesday for spring training. The Cactus League's first game is Feb. 26.

|Summary help replacing me
| An overview of the standard task scheduling daemon on GNU/Linux systems.
From Wikipedia:cron:
There are multiple cron implementations available for users to choose from. Template:Package Official (Dillon's Cron) is available in [core] and is installed as part of the base group.
# pacman -S dcron
Alternatively, users may wish to install Template:Package AUR or Template:Package AUR from the AUR; both offer a wider range of features and configuration options.
The cron daemon parses a configuration file known as crontab. Each user on the system can maintain a separate crontab file to schedule commands individually. The root user's crontab is used to schedule system-wide tasks.
crontab files should not be edited directly. Instead, users are encouraged to utilize the Template:Codeline command. Issuing Template:Codeline, for example, opens the current user's crontab in their preferred editor.
By default, root's crontab looks like this:
The files themselves are usually stored as Template:Filename. For example, root's crontab is found at Template:Filename.

Weiss contends that "in its illumination, in all senses of the word, of the details beyond politics' grasp, Philip Metres' A Concordance of Leaves uniquely honors Williams' conception of poetry's purpose."
Diode 8.3
Diode 8.3 is now live and can be read here diodepoetry.com. Some of you have been with us since the first issue, some have joined along the way, for others, this may be your first encounter with diode. No matter how long you've journeyed with us, our gratitude remains the same. So many things could call you away, yet you are here, and we are grateful. At the close of 2015 we are looking to 2016, and we're excited about what's ahead. In 2007, editor Jeff Lodge created the diode site, we're now in the process of re-designing. Our intent is to preserve the clean and elegant look that Jeff created, while offering a greater variety of media and content, along with an enhanced overall experience. We'll also be adding Law Alsobrook, graphic designer and poet, to the masthead, and we're looking forward to the energy and creativity that he'll bring to diode. Finally, whatever this season means to you, we wish you joy. As I was writing this preface, this phrase from the first line of Robin Chapman's poem "Sky Writer" from the current issue, kept swirling around my head. As a New Year's wish Robin captures best what I want to say to you dear reader, "Choose a page wide as horizon…." I echo this when I say, chose a page, a life, a dream, a hope--fill in the blank with whatever means something to you--and make that thing as wide as the horizon, then write it, love it, fight for it, and open your arms, your life, your mind wide enough to embrace the whole of it.
Bright Power, Dark Peace
Re-vitalization is in the air at Diode Editions. Diode Editions has a new logo, a new website, and a new addition to its masthead: Law Alsobrook, who designed the new logo, and is now serving as Co-Editor and Art Director. Diode Editions also has a renewed commitment to adding to its small, but remarkable, catalog. We've just launched our first chapbook contest in 3 years. We're also releasing a second edition of A Concordance of Leaves, a stunning chapbook by Philip Metres. A Concordance of Leaves won the 2014 George Ellenbogen Poetry Award from the Arab American National Museum, and the first edition is almost sold out. We're thrilled that a second edition is on the way.
The brief paragraph above is a précis of a much longer story hinted at above in the sentence "We've just launched our first chapbook contest in almost 3 years." The difficult part of the story is embedded in "almost 3 years," the joyous in "we've." Two and half years ago my life was touched by deep loss, and Diode Editions was side-lined while I came to terms with that loss. From loss came an opportunity for deep introspection and repair; from repair came a new love and partnership—the "we" of Law and I. In the past Diode Editions was a solitary labor of love. It's still a labor of love, but it is now also an opportunity to work and create with someone I love, and there is no deeper joy than this. So, infused with elation, Diode Editions is back, and we're looking forward to once again crafting beautiful books, and to supporting our authors, to give you, dear reader, poetry that touches, repairs, gives joy, speaks to love, loss, pain and joy; in short, to give you poetry that matters.
Patty Paine & Law Alsobrook
Why I Edit: A Love Story
A few months ago, I got an email that chastised me for only listing two people on the diode masthead. It was "rude" and "egotistical" the sender said, to not acknowledge "all the people" who worked for diode. I responded that I listed two people on the masthead because that is the exact number of people who work on diode. I edit and promote diode, and Jeff Lodge, who designed the look of the journal, puts each issue online. At first, I was annoyed by the email, but then I was flattered. Somehow, I had created the impression that diode was a small industry teeming with people scurrying around doing important diode work. It was then I realized that editing a journal like diode, and now its book publishing off-shoot Diode Editions, both home-grown, labor-of-love endeavors, is very much about creating illusions. So many sleights of hand are involved, from pulling time from sleeves, plucking quarters from behind ears (and beneath sofa cushions) and perhaps the greatest trick of all, a reverse magic, if you will, of not letting your own poems vanish into thin air.
So why do it? I edit diode because I get a great deal of joy from promoting the work of others. Finding poems I love, and having the privilege of connecting those poems with readers brings a more pure satisfaction than publishing my own work. Don't get me wrong—I am a writer, and I want to be read—but when I see my own work I see the missteps, the wrong word in the third line, the awkward break at line 12, the too-tidy ending. Or the reverse, I see a poem I was able to write by who knows what divine creative intervention, and I am certain I will never be able to replicate such alchemy again. Either way, unlike publishing the work of others, the experience is fraught with my own insecurities, my inner critic never quite stepping aside.
I edit diode because I love writers. Even at AWP when I think I'll scream if I see one more pair of skinny jeans, I love the whole quirky, obsessed, lot of us. I love that when I was in college at age 30, and I walked into my first poetry workshop I instantly thought "Oh, well this is where they've been." My tribe. I had finally found them. I love how on Facebook when someone posts an-anti-Obama-pro-gun-why–liberals-are-hell-bent-on-destroying-all-that-is-good-and-sacred rant, I know I can count on the writers to reassure me that all is not anger and angst and division. And though this is incredibly sweeping, and incredibly biased, I know that writers care against all odds, against the riptide of popular culture, about creating beauty, about speaking for those without voice, about truth, and about the power, sanctity and responsibility of the written word. These are the people I want to know, and diode, as humble an endeavor as it is, allows me this honor.
And finally, I edit diode because editing is a way of serving. It allows me to serve the community that has enriched my life. It is the debt I pay to the stories that taught me that the abuse I endured as a child was not my fault and put me on a path that led me away from that abuse; to the poems I grieved through when my mother died; the stories that opened the world to me and imbued me with a hunger to see it; the essays that taught me how to love and live—in short, to the writers who have astonished and delighted, and continue each day to make life richer and more meaningful. My debt is enormous, and I edit diode so in some small way our debt to writers remains enormous.

$latest_posts->recent_posts('Latest News');
Directly underneath it add this code:

You'll want to change "Home" above with the name you gave your custom widget area.

In talking to multiple persons with knowledge of the situation as recent as Wednesday afternoon, the Wizards remain determined to keep their core intact which means Beal stays put with John Wall, Markieff Morris, Marcin Gortat, Kelly Oubre and Otto Porter.
J. Michael Falgoust: Ted Leonsis on Otto Porter: "He didn't take that next step … I think this will be a breath of fresh air for him" #WizardsTalk @CSNWizards
Brooks, I'm told, is a strong believer in Porter's potential. Porter averaged 11.6 points and 5.2 rebounds, and shot 36.7 percent on 3-pointers. And Porter does a lot of little things right, namely he's a solid defender both individually and in the team concept. But it's still not what the third pick in the 2013 Draft is expected to provide after three seasons. There's no reason Brooks can't take a good look at Porter while the team explores adding another player at that position. If the Wizards succeed, they can move Porter along.
Drew Gooden III (calf) and Otto Porter Jr. (hip) took part in the session, giving Washington 13 available players for practice for the first time since November. Porter's participation was limited, but it constitutes significant progress for the third-year forward and Wizards Coach Randy Wittman said his playing status would've been a game-time decision Saturday against the Jazz.
Otto Porter Jr. will not play Friday night against the Indiana Pacers (22-17) after injuring his right hip in the third quarter of Washington's win over the Milwaukee Bucks on Wednesday, which was the first time the Wizards had 12 players available for a game since Nov. 27.
Porter made the trip to Indiana but said he did do just for treatment. He said here isn't any structural damage, but he didn't know how long he would be sidelined. The Wizards will host the Boston Celtics on Saturday. Porter missed three games in late December with a thigh injury and Kelly Oubre Jr. started in his place in each contest. Oubre will likely start again Friday.

Talking with your children about your ex-spouse
Divorce is a big adjustment for a child and doesn't end their relationship with the other parent. Your own emotions or your ex-spouse's behavior may make it a challenge to talk with your child about the other parent. Here are some tips:
Don't alienate. The bond your child shares with your ex-spouse is a parent-child bond separate from the behavior your ex-spouse chooses. Discuss concerns with your ex-spouse directly, rather than with your child. Focus on your child's behavior and response to situations, rather than what your ex-spouse has done.
Was that a good choice or a bad choice? How do you know? What were the positive outcomes? What were the bad consequences? How did that make you feel?
Parental disagreements. Children need to know that disagreements between parents are not their fault, and unrelated to parental love for the children.
"You don't have to worry about that. It is something that your mother and I will work out. We both love you, and we will always love you."
Realistic expectations. Children naturally want their parents together, and may ask you about when you are getting back together.
"We both love you very much, but we will be living in separate houses from now on."
Focus on the positive. While your children have the right and need to grieve, you can help calm fears about the future by focusing on the positive aspects of their divorced life.
"There won't be as much fighting, and we will get more one-on-one time together."
New relationships. Your child may tell you about the new relationships of your ex-spouse. It is important to remain neutral and keep your personal opinions out of the mix. That new person will be a part of your child's life, and it is better to focus on the good things that make your child comfortable while with that person. This will also help your child know that you are available and able to help them with any issue, even ones hard for you personally.
"What's fun about her? What do you like about him? That's nice that he helped you with that project. That's great that she listens to you."
Ending your relationship with your ex-spouse does not mean they are deleted from your child's life. Your child may still want to talk about the other parent, or issues may come up from experiences during visitation. Using age-appropriate language with a positive focus will keep things focused on the child and model healthy interaction for them.
