I've heard the music a smile secretly sings
And the sudden thunder a teardrop brings
No beginning or ending round a golden wedding ring
Together love and time keep on turning
It takes but one breath to keep on living
When your dreams and sorrows become the same thing
Empty eyes open there for the forgiving
Then memories invade, night becomes morning
Like the ring we wear, no beginning or end
We search to see where this journey shall send
Apart we are halfed neither night or day
Where nothing can grow, shall it be that way?

I come looking to take your hand
We can no longer stay apart
This day I have forever planned
You have captured all of my heart
My darling I've longed for this day
Two of us together as one
In my heart I hope you will stay
Our hopes and dreams have just begun
Come take my hand darling please
For you are the light of my life
I say this while down on my knees
I would like you to be my wife

center>Flurries swayed on brocade of her white gown
'Twas Christmas eve...year twenty o' nine's frost nips;
A face gleamed as ribbons wrapped around
on spray of orchids clutched by fingertips.
She paced a walk along the chapel aisle,
Rhapsody of music hummed of new life
While he...ordained by fate, parted a smile
Exchanging oaths so warm, man to housewife.
The hallway roused with cheer and merriment
December groom held spouse for rounds of waltz
And best man huffed, "Jill , don't nag for the rent ;
Sean, always laugh at her jokes with applause."
Five moons after, a child with her back turned
Lifted wrappers from toy-bouquets, mid- air,
'Twas Christmas... their daughter's flushed grin confirmed
The past magic of wedded bliss; love's flair!

I somehow missed the nineties
As far as pop culture was concerned
I spent a lot of it overseas
Watching as the Balkans burned
I had learned Russian for the Army
But the Russian Bear was no longer wild
About the time they reunited Germany
I gained a brand new wife and child
With the fall of the Soviet Union
I thought the world might finely be sane
Then I cross trained into Serbo-Croatian
As Yugoslavia went up in flame
The Army was not a free ride
I did several deployment rotations
Monitoring war crimes like genocide
Or in Macedonia with the United Nations
The nineties ended quietly
At least from what I remember
I was focused then on family
Until that fatal 11 September

My step-mom brought her stuff today.
It really made me mad.
She moved right in and changed the house.
She even changed my Dad.
She makes my bacon way too crisp.
She tries to fix my hair.
And when she shops for nail polish,
She buys enough to share.
To make it worse, she brought her cat
It hides beneath my bed.
And then she made me go with her
To a hill where we could sled.
My step-mom' isn't like me
and there are different rules,
But just between the two of us
My step-mom's kinda cool.

Don't Look Under the Bed
- by Bob Atkinson
..........Oliver Goldsmith tells the story ....
out walking for his health
a man spied his friend of years on pathway
how "are you sir?" he asked with smile
"not well" the gent replied back, looked terrified
"... what happed sir to create this stir
you seem so stressed this day
do you feel under the weather
perhaps you should stand in shade? ..."
the man then told his story
one of dubious glory
had come home early yesterday
and found his wife not at her work
lying without on her bed
no stitch of clothes or hat on head
had looked down and seen some shoes
not his size, but a style he knew
looking further had seen his friend
under the bed with open hand
covering body parts unnamed
a context which him inflamed
"... hmmmm the first man perused
this situation's not so unusual
a fix of gross proportions
one of life's heartless distortions
the gent began to lament
how he's sending wife to mother
divorcing within the week
slapping her with lawyer on each cheek
his friend then held up hand to stop
this track of mind which he thought
not a path one should take
in this situation of disgrace
"friend," he said with saddened tone
"you have no witness on your own
just your word against your lover
should you really send her to her mother?
your word against her own
you'll alimony pay through the nose
and half your wealth will be disposed
to this woman of lover spoken
best never again look under her bed
when you come home you should slam
front door hard to make some noise
yell 'Honey I'm Home' loudly in bright tones"
thus, the gent saw sense in this
went home with smile to his sweetness
"Honey I'm home," he loudly declared upon entry
he never again looked under bed or pantry

Now, before my sister
feels cheated
I have to drop for her
some lines belated!
You are his honourable
The reason he left the
others on the queue!
As into matrimony you
Peace and subtlety you
go with I know!
You are his honourable
The reason he left the
others on the queue!
The things that make
him in you happy
I pray will not by HIS
grace become flappy!
You are his honourable
The reason he left the
others on the queue!
Your best behaviours
and religion
Made him stay by you
far like a legion!
You are his honourable
The reason he left the
others on the queue!
Celestially destined you
are for him
Terestrially forever
you will be with him!
You are his honourable
The reason he left the
others on the queue!
Space and time again
will hamper I
So, I have to stop with
a teary eye!
You are his honourable
The reason he left the
others on the queue!
Barakah and Sakinah to
him you shall be
Aljanat, not hell to you,
he shall be!
You are his honourable
The reason he left the
others on the queue!

(Dedication: For Ann, with love.)
Here for a lifetime finds
A union to fulfill:
Flesh of soul, heart and mind
Abide in love's appeal.
I remember that day
When love entered my heart:
A very special ray
Of faith and hope forged art.
Then step by step by step
A gift of loving times:
Of hopes and dreams we mapped,
Lived all seasons and rhymes.
From that "I Do" instance
We made a life from scratch:
Our wedded persistence
A lovely journey match.
I remember that vow
To love and cherish you:
My love still sings right now
A deeper love for you.
Through ups and downs we lived
Each to each a pillar:
Shared troubles, pain and grief,
Lovely grace our altar.
I remember the church
Where sacred vows were shared:
Where our two hearts were merged
When lasting loves were paired.
We promised to be true
In a lifetime of change:
One life of me and you
In surge of new and strange.
The way and path and hues
Gave us a lifetime here:
Each day a poise to cue
With love enough for cheer.
Nothing can take away
The lifetime spent with you:
Thank God for each new day
With a blessing like you.
I remember those days
When we were young and bright:
A time when spring brought play,
Feel now autumnal light.
Change has brought times most strange
As the world spins around:
Yet our love will not change
When our mortal fate grounds.
Since year '72,
We've journeyed together:
Years stretched pass 42
As lovely miles render.
As seasons briskly change
Dawn follows that swift course:
Day comes to terms with range,
Dusk attends night's sure cause.
Each day a gift of light
To be, to see, to feel:
True love is our delight
To live, to share, to heal.
Still face to face we smile
Each to each most lovely:
Feel gladness in sure style
As moments hurl easy.
The moments on the wind
Where lovers dance and sing:
We sense waves once unseen
As passion finds sure spring.
My darling dearest Ann,
You are my soul's sure friend:
The way life ever blends
For now from way back when.
I look to you my love
For precious moments here:
Our quest is from above
From realms of loving spheres!
Thank you for poise and grace
That makes each day a joy:
Your countenance I face
Beyond time's fickle ploys.
Our time on earth is brief
For too soon the ending:
True love can survive grief
To glimpse everlasting.
Death brings a new country
Beyond our hurts and pains:
True love claims a bounty,
Eternal touch laid plain.

As the Miami Beach sun was hot,
you said that I was lying in your spot.
You got my attention from that very first look.
Just one short glance was all it took.
You have many good things my wife hasn't got.
I have determined Layla really doesn't have a lot.
What a hasty and impetuous move I would make.
I realize now that marriage was a mistake.
In your trap you have ensnared me.
What a complete young woman I see!
Somehow, someway, I should get myself free.
I must break these bonds of matrimony.
How did I ever get stuck in a situation like this?
With you, I can have a lifetime of marital bliss.
I intend to follow you out to Minneapolis.
I will take this opportunity and seal it with a kiss.
Based on the 1972 film "The Heartbreak Kid"

You're not adept at using words
But your body language can speak
Fluently of all that you feel
And expresses all that you seek
I know just from a simple look
It's time to be at your command
Or if you want me to take control
To make you obey my demand
I feel in every single touch
Just what your heart's trying to say
How you want to make love to me
With passion till night turns to day
And then there are those blessed times
When your arms are my protection
Or when you feel I've wandered off
They keep me in tight detention
When jealousy is burning hot
And you want me to heed the sign
Your arm tightens on my shoulder
And tells him, "Beware, She is MINE!"
And when you gently stroke my hair
Just before I drift off to sleep
Your fingers speak these very words:
"Your dreams in my heart I will keep."
When I awake and see you smile
The mischief written on your face
I know that I can bring you joy
For I take you to that sweet place
When your full lips close over mine
I can sense that you are in need
So I guide you much like a child
To where you can hungrily feed
When you force your hands over mine
I know I need to surrender
I can see it there in your eyes
You want to claim not be tender
At those times when you turn your back
And you close up your face to me
I know I need to do penance
If your favor I wish to see
And though you don't give me the words
That express your feelings so deep
Your body language speaks to me
In eloquence that makes me weep!

Who can un-travel the journey of love
of a thousand and one contradictions
of moments more - then less than enough
the weapon for a minds ammunition
for all get wounded in the unsought war
the plight of being shot by friendly fire
eye on the enemy while at the door
lie the unsuspecting repercussions of desire
Much like soldiers fully geared
suited with the warfare of Cupid
It's not just the suffering that we fear
but the suffering because we were stupid
There's more to marriage
than want of bliss, more than euphoric kiss
lest it leave you with no more than a vestige
one must weigh their hope with the risk
And so with cautious heart we trod
this road we cannot un-travel
and hope beyond hope there is a God
for loves journey is a fragile battle
It can crush and it can kill
or make all your dreams sublime
make no mistake this journeys uphill
but in the end you can only hope... it's was every bit worth the climb

He loves me, he loves me not,
A childish game as girls we played.
But now we're older, girls no more,
A little older, a little greyed.
But still, we'd wonder in years gone by,
In earlier times, younger married years,
Raising children, too busy for each other,
Drifting far apart, thus shedding many tears.
Then the children left the nest,
And we came together once again.
The old familiarity's still there,
The love is back; we're friends.
He loves me.

I'm as un-anal retentive as one can be
My wife's at the other end of the dial
Makes for interesting discussions at times
They sometimes last quite a while
Opposites attract, they say it's true
In our case it surely illustrates that fact
Must show restraint every damn day
For the sake of the dog and the cat
Dishwashers get loaded a certain way
Or armageddon will surely approach
All these years I've been loading it wrong
Really thought it was beyond reproach
There's others, surely too many to mention
Computer would run out of bytes
Be sure you marry an opposite personality
And enjoy all those rousing fights
I'm as un-anal retentive as one can be
My wife's at the other end of the scale
Perhaps another reason for such marital bliss
She's a female and I'm a male

Marriage has it's ups and it's downs
But it far exceeds the alternative
A lonely life without love and affection
Love's one of life's true superlatives
Some days we have heated discussions
That's how it was meant to be
Then she does something ever so sweet
And you forget why you disagreed
It isn't always going to be clear sailing
But if the bond is really strong
It's worth the struggles ten times a hundred
If you're lucky, it will end up lifelong
The male tendency is to play the field
But trust me, life's way too short
To become involved with a bunch of dodo
Probably means some time in court
Not sure the ladies will like my analogy
It's the lesser of two evils as they say
Oh boy, I think I may have done it this time
Must convince Cathie it's just a cliche

You tried to hide from me at the start.
You didn't know me or my heart.
You couldn't trust any man at all.
I broke down your walls, and you started to fall.
I saw in your eyes that you needed someone,
but only someone you could trust.
I knew that I could be that someone,
and your heart I gradually won.
Our life started, on that special day,
In a time and place so far away.
We promised each other before God and man,
to stick together forever, was our plan.
And now I can say, at the end of the day,
Even tho troubles have come our way,
That my love is stronger now than at the start.
And you will always have my heart.

Will You Marry Me, My Love
There have been times when I look at you and my heart starts to patter,
There are moments I've shared with you when that's all that matters.
Six years have passed since you've stolen my heart until it was free,
And sixty more to come with an eternity if you would kindly marry me.
Many may be skeptical knowing the woman proposed to the man,
Well baby, we've already agreed, no one will ever understand.
Here is your sparkling white gold ring with a few accent diamonds,
Please say yes to my proposal and we shall create our own island.
I carry such deep faith in us knowing we will last a lifetime,
For it will always be just us, I am yours and you are mine.
So here is one yellow rose I give to you while on bended knee,
I'm awaiting patiently for your answer...will you kindly marry me?

If only the words "I love you"
each time they were sent
came from the sender's heart
If only they were truly meant
If kisses and warm hugs
were more readily given
If we were more accepting
earth would be more like heaven
If only we could love others
as much as we love ourselves
Fewer partners would be rejected
and shoved back on the shelves
Children would feel more secure
grow up confident and strong
find their place in the world
knowing where they belong
Love is the sustainor of life
bringing well-being and health
well-spring of true happiness
a value greater than wealth
I know that God truly loves me
He gives hugs all the time
If only each person on earth
knew the Savior who is mine

Five years come and gone without your heart on the line.
Your voice has almost chased away all the sanity left in my brain.
Somehow you take up residence where there is a "no vacancy" sign.
It still fathoms me at how easy this all was for you to feign.
I am so tired of trying to understand all these childish notions.
True love is and always will be nothing more than a fairy tale.
I may have had better luck had I used Tarot cards and potions.
To grieve for our horrible marriage I shall wear the blackest veil.
It seems as if I was a wife, but you were never ready to do your part.
You can't have it both ways, either choose the wrong way or the right.
Why doesn't it feel wrong to you to toy with another person's heart?
A marriage takes work from each partner and I no longer wish to fight.
I thought this was forever and I loved you more than you'll ever know.
You turned the once warm feelings I had for you to hard stone.
I am no longer in love with you and I'm sorry I now have to let you go.
Sadly, as I always suspected I was in this marriage all alone.

He didn't see her tears
He didn't hear her sigh
He couldn't see the longing
That was burning in her eye
He didn't notice her
He didn't seem to care
She was slowly giving up
Dying in her despair
She just didn't know how
To make the embers blaze
She walked around in gloom
Her life an endless maze
But then…someone came by
A chivalrous kind knight
Who saw her real beauty
And took note of her plight
He tried his best to woo her
To fill up the empty space
He said, "Look in my eyes
See the reflection of your face.
You are altogether lovely
A goddess from another plane."
She couldn't believe all this
Did he think she was insane?
But slowly her heart melted
She started to tingle inside
The joy shone from her face
It was hard from love to hide
Now she faced a dilemma
What was she supposed to do?
Leave the one she still loved
To grasp a love that's new?
Dear Reader, to this fairy tale
We must find a happy end
For we have yet to see
If the knight is heaven sent
There are many simple truths
That are woven in this tale
But clearest of all is this:
Love unurtured is bound to fail.

Gat not much to say

In the life race that

And walk with heads

Part I: Wife to Husband
You never pay me any mind.
I'm sick of this. You hear me?
If you don't find me interesting,
perhaps you'd better fear me.
The "choc'late" in that cake you ate
Is laxative, I swear it!
So please don't take the rest to work.
Someone might want to share it.
I plan to see my boyfriends soon.
We always have such fun.
We're gonna have a good old time,
so soon I've got to run.
Your boss asked when you're coming in.
I told him you said "Never."
I plan to have your brakelines cut,
so take the bus forever.
I've emptied all the bank accounts,
So please don't write a check.
I've boobytrapped the yard; I hope
You fall and break your neck.
Hey, you! Look up. Acknowledge me,
You blank-eyed, drooling jerk!

I have had plenty of relationships that have resulted in my heart being ripped out and thrown on the floor.
But being the hopeless romantic I am I will always crave more.
Crave more LOVE than LUST while suppressing my desires.
Your eyes tell me you want me, but it means nothing if your heart isn't on fire.
I want to grow old with a man who accepts everything about me.
One who can look me in the eyes and know he has no reason to doubt me.
Almost every guy I have met has tried to have sex so what you want is nothing new
But at this point in my life all I want is a man I can sit back with forever and enjoy the view.
I understand and respect your opinion of the situation at hand.
No matter how much my body craves you, the only one who will get this is the one I can officially call my man.
In the end I am merely a lonely loyal Queen looking for a King to share my world with and forever reign.
Take it or leave it, but my feelings about it will remain the same.

Since early childhood storybooks of armored knights
riding beautiful horses held my fascination,
had I lived in that era of adventurous delights
I would have joined them to get the same admiration.
It's the unknown the story of a knight
who met a peasant girl of ardent creed
in some unpleasant times of war and fright;
it's such a great story for us to read.
Alex de Roux was the Norman commander:
handsome and strong; his curly long hair was red,
his eyes were of soft blue, and his skin was fair
he was sent to Abella to conquer its land.
And riding on his white horse one afternoon
he spotted a beautiful girl picking apples,
she had the features that made a soldier swoon:
big green eyes, long black hair and supple red lips.
Alex said something in Frankish expecting a response,
Silva looked at him and bowed if he were a seraphim,
" No, I am a very humble knight, not a king, please rise! "
She did not quite understand the language, but obeyed him.
He pointed out to the stately castle on the distant hill,
" Look, that's my second home, I have built a sturdy fortress."
some profound words he spoke expressing his benevolent will,
" I like to marry you soon and have ten children or less."
Silva tried to catch the meaning of every sentence,
and Alex replied by stretching out his two wide palms,
counting each single finger with extreme confidence...
then approaching her, he got lost in those pretty eyes.

There, life and peace do not erode.
Beautiful Garden of Eden
Then came the lies; passions explode!
Making love without abandon.
That place where knowledge grows on trees.
And fruits ooze juices sweet, alive.
Exotic scents waft in the breeze.
Quiet whispers watch loves' contrive.
Daily talks remember God.
His visits there, often and sure.
Two walked amid the goldenrod.
Together in innocence pure.
Ecstasy brought many downfalls.
Passions unfetter for all time.
That ancient place, my dream enthralls.
Make love to me there, sweet sublime.
Come, my knight in shining armor
Whisk me away; oh, ancient past.
Flaming angels and gifts of myrrh
Await honor and faith to last.
Take me to celestial glory
Forever to be in your arms.
Together, we on bended knee,
Loving forever, free from harms.

Watching mundane seconds tick away
Linked together they form passing years
This flimsy chain around my neck does not betray
Nor can my stinging eyes squeeze back the tears
Dreams begin to float out of my reach
Tormented by what makes me so distressed
Losing many of my hopes I feel besieged
Yet still reflecting on the way my life is blessed
The silence puzzles me and pierces with its thunder
The foundation bucks the shaking of its core
What God has joined together no man puts asunder
The waves are beating hard upon our shores
Weary eyes look towards damp clouds and search for light
Desperate to feel some warmth deep within my bones
Will its brilliant glow supplant the bluish night
Giving a sneak peek into the great unknown
Chasing those rainbows now seems like wasted time
The pot of gold was a seductive ruse of lead
Perhaps we were just lonely partners in crime
Caught up in reveries we thought surely lied ahead
Waiting for the stars to fall into my hands
To turn this to profound from the surreal
Nobody but the stars can understand
That I'll fall victim to my poor Achilles heel

This is the cautionary tale
of Jerry and his wife,
of how nitpicking through the years
resulted in great strife.
A few examples should make clear
what led to an attack,
what one day made sweet Susie snap,
seize weapon, and then--SMACK!
"Hot water heater," Susie said,
and Jerry said "Drop 'hot'!
If water's hot, does it need heating,
my dear? No, it does not."
When Susie pled, "Please fix these things,"
smart Jerry would comply,
but first he'd say, "These 'things' have names.
You'd learn them if you'd try."
"Where you at?" (They're on the phone.)
"Drop 'at.' I am at work."
She fought the urge to scream at him,
"You really are a jerk!"
His birthday card said, "Your the best!"
He mentioned her mistake:
"I like the card, but 'your' is wrong.
Now--where's my birthday cake?"
Enough! She whacked him. "Drop that stick!
Oh, man! My head is sore!"
She growled, "Be more precise, my dear.
It was a two-by-four!"

So many things in body / soul
are empty, undefined -
but read this poem carefully,
and answers you may find.
The knowledge of the Love of God,
comes through in loving stages -
so see if you can find a clue -
within this couple's ages...
The couple faced each other close,
while standing toe to toe.
The clear new day was very young.
They had no place to go.
His right hand held her left hand and,
His left hand held her right.
He slid a daisy through her hair.
She was a pretty sight.
The springtime breezes did not quell
the sun's most warmest rays.
As ocean waves kept rolling in,
they held the longest gaze.
Her face was like a sunshine's glow.
Her toes sank in the sand.
Her hair flipped in the open breeze.
Her fingers squeezed his hand.
Some folks had paused and stared a bit
when softly came the kiss -
but never would a moment pass,
a moment quite like this.
And with these two, that special time
would never go away -
for faithful is that one true love.
There is no better way.
So scenic was the sandy beach,
so beautiful, the pair -
yet only God creates true love
that I saw perfect there.
Now just in case you're wondering,
what ages they could be...
Well, she's but two years younger than
his age of eighty-three.
So if assumptions, you had made -
in story told above -
you may have also missed the mark,
of true Agape Love.
Therefore, question all the writings,
discovered here and there,
that often miss the God of Love -
the hearer of each prayer.
And don't have shallow notions or,
wear blinders to 'believe' -
or come to some conclusion that
some well-known 'experts' weave.
Sometimes we think we know it all,
when all the facts we weigh -
but we do not create the God
who loves us every day.

She sits in shame
Wrapped in soiled sheets
Where she recently loved
Against her inner greets
For her desire to be loved
Drew her away from her bond
To be with her lover
Whom to her, responds
No longer captured
In a marriage of cold
Ignored, forgotten
Her empty soul, sold
As she sits and ponders
Her tomorrow life
Breaking her marriage vows
And who made her his wife
She no longer sits in shame
For a decision she's made
If she stayed with her vows
In this life she would fade
Her closed door has reopened
Now loved and adored
No longer cold and discarded
Her heart restored
Copyright © James Fraser | Year Posted 2010
When will people understand,
what marriage is all about?
When entering into a vow with God,
there is no getting out.
Just because things get rough,
we shouldn't run to the Courts.
Forgetting about our vows to God,
and granted a divorce.
Forever doesn't mean next year,
or a little further down the way.
We're all bound for eternity,
by promises we make today.
Its time for all the Judges,
that rule within our Courts,
to realize that no one,
is a winner through divorce.
We must all stand behind
the promises we made.
And stop this terrible insanity,
of breaking families up this way.

Sled Hockey Team to be Recognized Thursday
By: San Antonio Rampage Media Relations
SAN ANTONIO (April 14, 2014)
– The San Antonio Rampage Sled Hockey Team captured its first national championship at the 2014 Sled Hockey National Tournament, beating the St. Louis Blues Sled Team 3-1 in the title game on Sunday.
Josh Sweeney finished with a tournament-high 13 points, including a hat trick in the team's 3-0 win over the Buffalo Sabres in the semifinals. He also assisted on all three goals in the championship, each of which were scored by Rico Roman. Luke McDermott's seven assists led all skaters in the tournament.
Roman, Sweeney and goalie Jen Lee were also part of the U.S. National Sled Hockey Team that captured the gold medal at the 2014 Paralympic Winter Games in Sochi. Sweeney scored the lone goal in a 1-0 win over Russia in the gold-medal game.
A special on-ice ceremony will recognize the Rampage Sled Hockey Team as well as the three Paralympic gold medalists when the San Antonio Rampage host the Abbotsford Heat on Thursday night at 7 p.m. at the AT&T Center. The Rampage Sled Hockey team will sign autographs during the game and fans can take photos with Josh Sweeney, Rico Roman and Jen Lee with their Paralympic gold medals.
Additionally, the team will be available to the media at 7:15 p.m. in Interview Room A at the AT&T Center. Contact Danielle Bernstein for further information.
The Rampage close out the regular season with a two-game series against the Abbotsford Heat. Individual and season tickets can be purchased by calling a Rampage representative at 210-444-5554 or online at sarampage.com.

THUMBS UP to the many Memorial Day events taking place around Greater Fall River Monday. While Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer and it's a great day to enjoy time with family and friends at the beach or at barbecues, be sure to also take some time today to pay the proper respect to those who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. There are parades, services and memorial events taking place in every city and town in our region today. For a complete list of Memorial Day events, see heraldnews.com.
THUMBS UP to the legacy of the late Fernando Garcia, the longtime owner of the former Fall River Ford, who died at age 67 last week after a long battle with cancer. Garcia, who was a very active member of the Fall River and New Bedford communities, as well as the region's Portuguese community, was certainly a larger-than-life figure who made a big difference in giving back to the communities where he lived and did business. Our "friend in the business" will be deeply missed.
THUMBS UP to Samuel Watson Elementary School, which has received $1.3 million in federal funding for implementing an accelerated school transformation model. The grant will be implemented over three years to build teacher capacity around early literacy and math skills, along with implementing student socio-emotional support systems. Watson's turnaround plan is modeled after the successful approach at the John Doran Community School. Let's hope the success Doran saw can be replicated at Watson.
THUMBS UP to the Fall River Area Chamber of Commerce and Industry for its grand opening last Tuesday of a new Visitor and Information Center at the Chamber's Pocasset Street offices, thanks to a sponsorship from BankFive. The attractive display cases, brochure racks and counter areas were designed and made by Diman Regional Vocational Technical High School. The chamber is a perfect location for this visitor's center. This represents a great collaborative effort to finally show off Fall River's assets and capture a piece of the $400 million Bristol County tourism industry.
THUMBS UP to the five Fall River police officers and three state troopers honored last week with the state police's Medal of Lifesaving award during a Statehouse ceremony. Fall River Police Lt. Robert Flynn and Officers William Martel, Michael Silvia, John Ferreira and Joseph Reed were honored, along with State Troopers Robert Plante, Christopher Meleo and Kevin Owen for their "dedication to duty, quick thinking and expertise" with which they helped save the life of a 46-year-old Fall River man who tried jumping off the Braga Bridge last September.
Page 2 of 2 - THUMBS UP to SSTAR for its state grant-funded program to divert nonviolent drug offenders and drug offenders with mental illness into SSTAR's community-based treatment program. SSTAR, receiving a $424,750 grant, is one of 22 organizations across Massachusetts to be awarded a total of close to $8 million for the new program aimed at keeping nonviolent offenders out of costly jails and divert them into more effective community-based treatment programs.

Best Of :: Arts & Entertainment
We try to hate Eric Perkins. Our inner curmudgeon generally recoils at the sight of someone with such an unfailingly sunny disposition. Anyone who's that happy and enthusiastic all the time either isn't paying attention or is a bit dimwitted. But Perkins consistently foils our cynicism. His "Perk at Play" segments, while hokey as a rhubarb pie-eating contest, are unfailingly hilarious. Whether skating with the Minnesota Rollergirls or getting manhandled by local ultimate fighting champion Sean Sherk, Perkins is willing to make an ass out of himself for the viewer's amusement. And given the sorry state of our professional sports franchises in recent memory, getting some laughs along with the dreadful highlights is a welcome reprieve.
Any savvy YouTube user can find a small archive of the venerable anchor as a young pup 25 years ago, when local news was kinder and gentler—or at least less histrionic. Certainly Shelby has gone through many a makeover since then, and outlived all sorts of talking-head challengers. Yet we pick Shelby this year not just because of his longevity, but because of his dedication to the craft. Yes, Shelby practices the craft of journalism, unlike most of his blow-dried cohorts and competitors. We've noticed, for instance, that when there's a big-time journalism forum or workshop, Shelby can generally be counted on to be there. And this year he introduced a new segment to the WCCO 10:00 p.m. broadcast called "In the Know" (even while graciously making room at the 6:00 p.m. newscast for Amelia's husband Whatshisname). Here, Shelby drops his veneer of objectivity and editorializes on events of the day—a rare and welcome moment of news analysis. His comments on such hot topics of the day as immigration and the war in Iraq are sure-handed, smart-headed, and just plain sensible in the era of Fox News shout-fests. You can almost imagine an anchor doing the same thing 25 years ago—hey, maybe Shelby has been watching those YouTube clips, too.
It's been a rough year for the 23-year-old network that champions such outmoded causes as free speech and power to the people. For starters, the swapping of territories by Time Warner Cable and Comcast has essentially left MTN hanging in the balance without a solid use agreement. And Minneapolis City Council member Don Samuels has filed a civil rights complaint—and $100,000 lawsuit—against the network over broadcast remarks that he claims were life-threatening. (Suffice it to say if such damages are ever rewarded, it would effectively kill MTN's budget.) In fact, with all the image-conscious tinkerers that have infiltrated City Hall in recent years, from the mayor on down, one gets the feeling most elected officials would be happy to see the whole operation dismantled. And they'd probably start with Black Focus, the show hosted by longtime civil rights champion and City Hall agitator Ron Edwards. The weekly program (5:00 p.m. Sundays, channel 17) is low-key, with Edwards quietly dispensing anecdotes and insider dope on city politics while he sits on a set that looks like someone's home study. But most of what Edwards says packs a wallop, whether he's breaking down what happened to Dominic Felder, a black man who recently died in the hands of the Minneapolis police, or talking up the AIDS crisis in Africa. And nobody does a better job of confronting the city's race issues. Sometimes Edwards gets circuitous and conspiratorial, but even then he's usually half-right. Bottom line is that he tirelessly performs a public service, the kind public access was made for.
We can't stand it when a discussion of television prompts some would-be intellectual to sneer, "Oh, I never watch TV. I don't even own a set." Please. Do you hate novels, too, because so many of them are written by the likes of James Patterson and Danielle Steel? Okay, so 90 percent of TV programming is crap—so go find the good stuff. Although pretty much anyone who cares about decent programming has cable by now, we stubbornly continue to find a broadcast channel to praise each year, and while we seriously considered choosing the CW solely on the strength of its South Park reruns, we have to admit that more of that elusive good stuff is to be found on public television than anywhere else on the local dial. As with any station, there're plenty of shows we don't like: the aging-boomer rock concerts and Suze Orman marathons, to name a couple. We won't even talk about the pledge drives. But the percentage of worthy programming here is good: One episode of Frontline, for example, is more informative and engaging than a month of CNN. And if you want to beat CNN, you could do worse than tuning into BBC world news—available here without paying for digital cable. American Experience often does a superb job of tackling big topics, like the building of great cities and the growth of history-changing movements. TPT's weekday kids' programming still can't be beat, while on Saturdays, the station gives us a couple of hours' worth of cooking shows, and not one of them features Rachel Ray. We're partial to America's Test Kitchen: Those food-loving nerds have great hints. Add in eye-opening nature shows; programming for immigrant communities, such as Somali Media; and Martin Scorsese's Bob Dylan documentary, and you've got plenty of fodder for arguments with your TV-snob friends.
Patrick Reusse is ridiculously prolific. The veteran sports scribe churns out at least four columns a week and takes vacations about as often as the U of M wins Big Ten football titles. And that's not even taking into account the countless radio gigs that he juggles. Reusse deftly covers the full sports landscape, from the improbable Division II basketball dominance of Winona State to the failings of first-year Vikings coach Brad Childress. His columns are chock-full of the kinds of details and intelligent analysis that can't be garnered from staring into a pint of beer at the local Hooters. Perhaps it's in part because Reusse's an ex-drunk that he's such a workhorse. Check out this chestnut from the first sentence of a recent column celebrating the life of the late Twins radio announcer Herb Carneal: "There was nothing more important in the lives of baseball play-by-play broadcasters in the '40s, '50s and into the '60s than beer." Who wouldn't read to the bottom of that piece?
A funny thing has happened to sports radio: They don't yak about sports nearly as much as they used to. Take Dan Barreiro, the top-rated talker at the Cities' leading sports radio station, KFAN (1130 AM). The former Strib columnist lards his show with his meditations on current events and interviews with Norm Coleman, which, while modestly interesting, do nothing to deepen your knowledge of the T-Wolves' backcourt or the Twins' relief game. You can't really blame the guy. It's been medically proven that if you spend too much time thinking and talking about sports, you will probably become dumber. Still, the sports junkie looking for a straight fix is usually willing to take that risk, which is why he is best served by catching Paul Allen. Along with co-host Jeff Dubay, P.A. is an unadulterated, unashamed sports wonk. You might want to know what P.A. thinks about Iraq or Britney Spears, but that's not why you tuned in, is it? You want to hear his keen insights and, comically, his ass-wrong prognostications. Even those who are turned off by P.A.'s funky-white-boy bits have to acknowledge that he is a true radio pro. That's seldom more evident than when you hear his impeccable play-by-play work for the Vikings. Allen, now in his ninth year at KFAN, cut his chops as a racetrack announcer, and it shows in his fluid, rapid-fire delivery. Not surprisingly, the hardest-working man in local sports radio still holds down a track gig at Canterbury Park.

Georgetown football opened its 2015 home schedule against Marist on Saturday, September 12.
Recruits: Northern New Jersey, Texas (Dallas area), Washington, D.C.
Rob Sgarlata (C'94, S'12) is in his second season as the Head Coach of the Georgetown University football program. During his two seasons at the helm, Sgarlata has helped the team improve its win total in each season, while guiding 13 players to All-Patriot League honors, three to Patriot League All-Academic honors, one to All-America honors (Alec May, 2014) and a program record 45 to the Patriot League Academic honor roll in 2014.
Sgarlata has coached two players to lead Division I FCS in a statistical category, with defensive end Alec May leading the nation in sacks (16.5) in 2014 and cornerback Ettian Scott leading the nation in passes defended (19) in 2015.
He has also pushed the program to make a difference in the community, as GU adopted two children through Friends of Jaclyn, a non-profit organization that helps better the lives of children suffering from pediatric brain tumors.
Georgetown University Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Lee Reed named Sgarlata the 31st head football coach in program history. Sgarlata has served on the Hoyas coaching staff for over 20 seasons, including eight as Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator, before taking over the program in 2014.
Sgarlata took over following the departure of Kevin Kelly and was selected after a national search for coaching candidates. Sgarlata becomes just the fourth person to have played football and graduated from Georgetown before earning the head coach title, joining Joe Reilly, Jack Hagerty and Maurice Dubofsky.
"Rob Sgarlata brings a wealth of relevant experience to his new leadership role in our football program," Reed said. "As a coach and an educator, he has shown his commitment to the holistic development of student-athletes as well as his passion for the game of football. I look forward to working with Rob to ensure that Georgetown football is a quality experience for his players."
As defensive coordinator under Kelly, Sgarlata helped guide the Hoyas to its best stretch since joining the Patriot League, between 2010 and 2012. GU possessed the top-ranked scoring defense in the Patriot League in 2011 and featured the second-ranked scoring defense in the league in 2012.
"When I was a student-athlete at Georgetown, our Athletic Director, Frank Rienzo used to say that we stand on the shoulders of those who came before us," Sgarlata said. "During my time on the Hilltop, I have witnessed this sentiment first hand. I have been fortunate to play for Scotty Glacken and work under excellent former head coaches Bob Benson and Kevin Kelly. I look forward to the challenge of guiding this program forward. I am extremely excited to work with the group of football players we currently have on the Hilltop."
Sgarlata has helped develop four All-Americans, including Michael Ononibaku in 2005, Alex Buzbee in 2006, Andrew Schaetzke, just the ninth consensus All-American in Patriot League history in 2011 and Robert McCabe in 2012. Buzbee would go on to play in the NFL with the Washington Redskins and the Canadian Football League (CFL) with the Toronto Argonauts. Schaetzke and McCabe each went to NFL rookie camps, following brilliant playing careers on the Hilltop.
During his tenure as defensive coordinator, the Hoyas have featured four ECAC First Team selections and 20 All-Patriot League selections on defense.
Within the defense, Sgarlata worked with the defensive line in 1995-96 and again from 2002-04, where he coached Buzbee, Ononibaku and 1996 MAAC Defensive Player of the Year Janne Kouri. He worked with the defensive backs from 2005-12, where he worked with All-Patriot League performers Brian Tandy, Travis Mack, Jayah Kaisamba and Jeremy Moore.
Prior to his work on defense, Sgarlata worked with wide receivers and tight ends from 1996-2000, helping the Hoyas to consecutive MAAC Championships in 1998 and 1999 and an appearance in the 1998 ECAC Bowl.
In addition to coaching, Sgarlata has also served as an academic advisor, career and alumni liaison, financial aid liaison, internship director and computer and technology liaison during his 18 years with the football program.
Sgarlata, a four-year letterman at Georgetown is among the program's all-time leading rushers. He was a team captain in 1993 and the recipient of the John J. Hagerty Award presented annually to Georgetown's outstanding back, following his senior season. He also excelled in the classroom, being named to the 1993 GTE District II Academic All-America Football Team and was also named to the MAAC Football League Academic All-Star Team.
Sgarlata graduated from Georgetown in 1994 from the College of Arts & Sciences with a degree in government and international relations. In May 2012, he completed his master's degree in sport industry management from the School of Continuing Studies at Georgetown.

Emory University preserves 18 gigabytes of Salman Rushdie's personal filesBreaking News
Electronically produced drafts, correspondence and editorial comments, sweated over by contemporary poets, novelists and nonfiction authors, are ultimately just a series of digits — 0's and 1's — written on floppy disks, CDs and hard drives, all of which degrade much faster than old-fashioned acid-free paper. Even if those storage media do survive, the relentless march of technology can mean that the older equipment and software that can make sense of all those 0's and 1's simply don't exist anymore.
Imagine having a record but no record player.
All of which means that archivists are finding themselves trying to fend off digital extinction at the same time that they are puzzling through questions about what to save, how to save it and how to make that material accessible....
"It's certainly one of those issues that keeps a lot of people awake at night," said Anne Van Camp, the director of the Smithsonian Institution Archives and a member of a task force on the economics of digital preservation formed by the National Science Foundation, among others.
Though computers have been commonly used for more than two decades, archives from writers who used them are just beginning to make their way into collections. Last week, for instance, the Harry Ransom Center at the University of Texas, Austin, announced that it had bought the archive of David Foster Wallace, who committed suicide in 2008. Emory opened an exhibition of its Rushdie collection in February, and last year, not long before his death, John Updike sent 50 5 ¼-inch floppy disks to the Houghton Library at Harvard....

We have an Idealstor BA4U2E server and a 2000-TLYTE-2RSA (2-bay SATA rack enclosure) connected to it. We run Symantec Backup Exec 12.5 on it to copy between drives.
Lately our copy operation has been running significantly slower than it should. We also noticed, by remote desktopping into the server, that it has pauses for around 4-5 seconds, every 40 seconds or so. During these pauses everything in the system completely freezes. Monitoring the system with Process Explorer, we found that bengine.exe (the Backup Exec engine which does the copying) idles at 0 cpu for the 40 seconds, and then the whole system does it freeze, and then there's a huge I/O and CPU spike in the graph, during which bengine.exe was reading and writing to the disk. Monitoring even closer with Process Monitor does indeed find the 40-second gaps in which bengine.exe is doing nothing.
What is causing our copy operation to do this? How can we diagnose the problem?

I have read "blog-posts-on-static-front-page" and it's development the next year (now two years ago) "static-front-page-with-the-latest-post"
but I'm afraid that it is still not clear to me exactly where to place the code provided. Someone asked the very same thing but the topic was close with this unanswered.
Here's the background:
Here's my situation:
I want posts on the front page with a short intro text above. Because I need different templates for the two languages of the site, I have to use a static page for the front page. I have looked at some 'posts into page'. Maybe I've misunderstood their use but I don't see a clear instruction for getting all the posts (they all seem to be filtering for certain categories or types) or they place posts in a ul li form with the formatting and styles that go along with that.
Here's my current thoughts:
I have two templates : sidebar-left-page ; and sidebar-right-page . I got this from an article and it said that the names had to be exactly these.
I'm thinking that I need two more templates : home-sidebar-left-page ; and home-sidebar-right-page. That would solve the problem, but I need to
1) registering the new templates so that I can select themin the page editor
2) putting the right code in the right place of the loop of the new templates
The contet part of these template pages looks like this.
<div id="content" role="main">
<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>
<?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?
</div><!-- #content -->
The above forum topics, and the axcellent article on "the Loop" http://codex.wordpress.org/The_Loop have the loop beginning with if
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
Is that a change in recent WordPress versions?
I'd be grateful for an answer understandable to a novice coder, as I'm sure many readers in the future will be.

Photo Details
The picture postcard shows the Sheeks House on the left of the larger Granny White House on display with other pioneer homes & shops, etc. The other pictures show all the sides of the house, which had a detached kitchen separated from the house with a covered breezeway in between, or what they used to call the dog run. The detached kitchen helped protect the house from possible fires. George Sheeks started to build this house in 1816 in southern Indiana on Lick Creek in what was then Orange County, but is now Lawrence County, while his wife and first seven children still lived in Wayne County, KY where they had been for sixteen years. Upon completion, he moved his family to their new home on 9 Jan 1817. Albert J. Fields, son of George Fields and Mary (Sheeks), daughter of George Sheeks's son, David L. Sheeks and Susan (Horsey), made the arrangements for the house to be moved to its present location at Spring Mill State Park, where it was reassembled, rebuilt, and restored for display. It is in remarkable condition. This house is dear to Sheeks descendants because their ancestors lived in and visited this house, many of them being born there, including Albert J. Fields. Some original pieces are on display in the home, including the weaving loom George made for his wife Elizabeth and George's broad ax.

"Sevi" is a rarity as an olive oil. Prized for their size and flavor, most of the California crop in is snapped up by the table olive industry, but this year we were able to secure a small batch, and the result is a classic Sevi oil—grassy bouquet, olivey and nutty flavors, nice body and mouthfeel, finishing with an almost electric, sparkely pungency in the throat— and a long lasting flavor. This is a mild oil, best for salads and finishing. We haven't offered a Sevi in 4 years--hence the old picture!-- so if you're a die-hard Sevi fan snatch it up while you can, availability is limited!

Palo Alto is one of the popular destinations within the San Francisco Bay area to have a wedding. There are a lot of wedding venues to consider in Palo Alto which I am going to discuss with you in this article. As a wedding planner in the San Francisco bay area, I can't tell you enough how important it is to book the venue of your choice on time. This will give you some ideas and wedding venues in Palo Alto.
Crowne Plaza Cabana Hotel. If you're a high end roller, don't wait any longer to book this venue. This hotel was once owned by Doris Day and was the hot spot for Hollywood celebrities in the 1960's. From the grand Mediterranean ballroom, the courtyard, to the lavish Cyprus room with an inviting sun deck, there are thousands of possibilities for planning a wedding. This hotel has been known to throw in a free night in their cabana suite for choosing any one of their wedding packages. So why not indulge yourself? Planning your wedding at a hotel makes it easier to accommodate any out of town guests. You can ask your Wedding Planner to put your out of town guests in rooms at the hotel itself for convenience and traveling ease.
Allied Arts Guild. The Allied Arts Guild is in Menlo Park and can provide space for a celebration of no more than 140 guests. This venue is like an enchanting moor, with Spanish gardens, fountains, rose alleys, courtyards and beautiful architecture. You will leave your wedding photographer perplexed with the thousands of breathtaking backdrops perfect for taking your wedding pictures. Picture that perfect wedding shot with the both of you naturally framed under Spanish colonial style arches. It will be a charming wedding you will never forget.
Ardenwood Affairs. The venue comprises of a garden area surrounding a Victorian mansion from the 19th century. Dreamed of being a Cinderella at your wedding? Arrive in a Victorian horse drawn carriage just like a true princess. But don't worry, these horses won't turn into mice at midnight! This venue can accommodate a guest list of 250 people.
Elizabeth Gamble Garden. A historic home, carriage house, tea house, wisteria garden and rose garden make up the 2.5 acres of this venue. This venue is for smaller wedding ceremonies as they allow no more than 50 people. If you are planning on a private ceremony inviting only a few family members and friends, this would be the venue to choose. This garden is run by a non-profit organization so you will find the rental fees pretty affordable. However, get your wedding planner to book it quickly because their slots fill up quickly.
Rosewood Sand Hill. This hotel is the perfect place to plan a getaway wedding. They have indoor and outdoor accommodations for whatever season you plan your wedding. They can hold up to 300 guests indoors and 400 outdoors. Have the pre-wedding jitters? Book a spa day at their in house Rosewood Spa Boutique to calm and relax you before your big day.

Two people were killed and seven others wounded when gunfire erupted overnight in areas of Guinea's capital Conakry amid reports of looting, medics and residents said Tuesday.
"We had two dead and seven injured from bullet wounds," said a doctor at a Conakry clinic, a figure that was confirmed by the victims' families.
Residents said violence broke out when "men in uniform along with civilians" started looting in neighbourhoods of Conakry where a majority of ethnic Peuls live.
It was not immediately clear if the latest violence was linked to the political protests by the opposition over the past week that have led to at least eight people killed and more than 200 injured.
The opposition has been calling for transparency during the planned May 12 legislative polls.
Guinea's political factions often divide along ethnic lines, particularly between the Peuls and the Malinkes.
The main opposition party, the Union of Guinea Democratic Forces, is led by a Peul, Cellou Dalein Diallo, who was defeated in the 2010 presidential vote by President Alpha Conde, a Malinke.
Opposition figures met with Conde on Monday to try to resolve the conflict but later said they were disappointed with the encounter.
The vote in the troubled West African country was due to have taken place in 2011, but has been postponed several times. As the elections now close in, the opposition have ramped up demonstrations to demand a free and transparent vote.
On February 23, the leading opposition parties in Guinea said they were pulling out of the election, accusing the ruling party and the electoral body of turning the vote into a farce

Hi there ladies. I am finally getting a break here at work so that I can check in. It is 5:17 here and I am still at my desk with lots of work to do but needed a break. I came in to get a smile. I worked until 7:00 last night. Got home, felt so stressed and made the mistake of writing on the "TO DO LIST" something that DH said that Ashley had done already. Clean the bathroom that she shares with Josh. Well that is when it hit the fan. Yes it did..... DH insisted that she did it. I told him that when I checked there was still a ring in the tub and gunk on the base boards not to mention the loose dirt that I could see on the floor that told me she did not sweep. He proceeded to take her side and said that everything was sitting all nice and neat in there when he collected the trash. I told him yes that she did straighten the shampoo bottles but that was it. It only digressed from there. It came to the point that I told him that I did NOT want to discuss it further. I knew that I should just have left it alone in the first place. I sent him a extremely long text this morning when I got to work explaining my resentments. I am not looking forward to going home.
Staphanie, Congrats girl! You will do great on the next ones too.
Linny, I love the wig style. I say do what you want to make yourself feel good.
I forgot what else I wanted to say. I may do a little more work and then go to that place called home and lock myself in my scrap room and not come out.
Pray for me....
Love you all.

The action-packed, cast-inclusive box cover is extremely enticing and should move the tape all by its lonesome.
What we have here is a High Concept -- Tom Byron does 13 porn princesses in one sitting -- that never quite gels in its execution.
First the girls suck him, then he tongues their hindquarters, then he fucks them, then he sodomizes about half of them. If it sounds a bit methodical, that's only because it is.
Truth be told, most of this tape never comes to a full boil. Sure, there are a few fiery moments, depending on the performance skills of the particular girl Byron is plugging. But such instances are few and far between, as exemplified by the monotonous mid-tempo music that drones on the soundtrack throughout.
In the end, of course, our boy shoots off as all 13 fillies crowd around him, vying for a drop or two of his precious elixir. And damn if Byron doesn't manage to nail most of 'em. It's arguably the most impressive moment in the vid.

Stanley Yelnats is under a curse. A curse that began with his no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather and has since followed generations of Yelnats. Now Stanley has been unjustly sent to a boys' detention center, Camp Green Lake, where the warden makes the boys "build character" by spending all day, every day, digging holes: five feet wide and five feet deep. It doesn't take long for Stanley to realize there's more than character improvement going on at Camp Green Lake. The boys are digging holes because the warden is looking for something. Stanley tries to dig up the truth in this inventive and darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment—and redemption.
Editorial Reviews
The New York Times Book Review
Louis Sachar has written an exceptionally funny, and heart-rending, shaggy dog story of his own. With its breadth and ambition, Holes may surprise a lot of Sachar fans, but it shouldn't. With his Wayside School stories and-this reviewer's favorite -- the Marvin Redpost books, Sachar has shown himself a writer of humor and heart, with an instinctive aversion to the expected. Holes is filled with twists in the lane, moments when the action is happily going along only to turn toward somewhere else that you gradually, eventually, sometimes on the last page, realize was the truest destination all along.
The book begins, "There is no lake at Camp Green Lake," and we are immediately led into the mystery at the core of the story: "There once was a very large lake here, the largest lake in Texas." We soon learn that there is no camp here either, not really, only a boys' detention facility to which our hero, Stanley Yelnats, is headed. Stanley has been convicted of stealing a pair of shoes donated by baseball great Clyde Livingston to a celebrity auction. The fact that Stanley didn't steal the shoes, that indeed they fell from the sky onto his head, is disbelieved by the judge, and even deemed immaterial by Stanley, who blames the whole misadventure on his "no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing-great-great-grandfather!" -- a favorite family mantra. And as the book goes on to show, with great finesse and a virtuoso's display of circularity in action, Stanley is right. His destiny is as palindromic as his name.
We soon learn about that pig-stealing great-great-grandfather and the curse that has haunted Stanley's family, even though the hapless elder Yelnats, like Stanley, didn't steal anything, and the curse is more of an ordination, a casting of the die. Stanley's great-grandfather found his place in the pattern when he encountered Kissing Kate Barlow, nee Miss Katherine Barlow, who became a ruthless outlaw of the Wild West when her love for Sam, the Onion Man, became cause for small-town opprobrium-and murder. Miss Barlow's recipe for spiced peaches also plays a large part in the story. Heck, it all plays a large part in the story. Those peaches show up more than a century after they were canned, and their efficacy remains unchallenged. Just like Sam's onions. Just like the lullaby, sung, with telling variations, by the Yelnats clan:
"If only, if only," the woodpecker sighs,
"The bark on the tree was as soft as the skies."
While the wolf waits below, hungry and lonely, Crying to the moo-oo-oon,"If only, if only."
As for the title: when Stanley gets to Camp Green Lake, he discovers that every day each boy, each inmate, must dig a hole five feet by five feet by five feet. (Why? Too bad you can't ask Kissing Kate Barlow.) Stanley makes a friend, Zero (nicknamed thus because this is exactly what the world finds him to be), with whom he eventually escapes the camp. These boys have a date with destiny and, trust me, it has everything to do with the pig, Kissing Kate, the lullaby, the peaches, the onions...even the sneakers. Sachar is masterful at bringing his realistic story and tall-tale motifs together, using a simple declarative style -- Stanley Yelnats was given a choice. The judge said, "You may go to jail, or you may go to Camp Green Lake." Stanley was from a poor family. He had never been to camp before. -- that is all the more poignant, and funny, for its understatement, its willingness to stay out of the way. We haven't seen a book with this much plot, so suspensefully and expertly deployed, in too long a time. And the ending will make you cheer -- for the happiness the Yelnats family finally finds -- and cry, for the knowledge of how they lost so much for so long, all in the words of a lullaby. Louis Sachar has long been a great and deserved favorite among children, despite the benign neglect of critics. But Holes is witness to its own theme: what goes around, comes around. Eventually.
Through flashbacks, Sachar weaves a complex net of hidden relationships and well-timed revelations as he puts his slightly larger-than-life characters under a sun so punishing that readers will be reaching for water bottles. Good Guys and Bad get just deserts in the end, and Stanley gets plenty of opportunities to display pluck and valor in this rugged, engrossing adventure.

Read an Excerpt
A darkly humorous tale of crime and punishment, by the author of There's a Boy in the Girls' Bathroom.
Stanley Yelnats's family has a history of bad luck, so he isn't too surprised when a miscarriage of justice sends him to a boys' juvenile detention center, Camp Green Lake. There is no lake - it has been dry for over a hundred years - and it's hardly a camp. As punishment, the boys must each dig a hole a day, five feet deep, five feet across, in the hard earth of the dried-up lake bed. The warden claims that this pointless labor builds character, but she is really using the boys to dig for loot buried by the Wild West outlaw Kissin' Kate Barlow. The story of Kissin' Kate, and of a curse put on Stanley's great-great-grandfather by a one-legged Gypsy, weaves a narrative puzzle that tangles and untangles, until it becomes clear that the hand of fate has been at work in the lives of the characters - and their forebears - for generations.
With this wonderfully inventive, compelling novel that is both serious and funny, Louis Sachar has written his best book to date.
