How does the sizing work for skates? I wear a women's 7.5 shoe. Thanks!
By Amy Moore from email@example.com on February 13, 2014
By Customer Service on February 17, 2014
Answer:These skates run true to women's shoe sizes, but often require that you go 1/2 size down for the best fit. So 7.0 or 7.5 would likely be the best size for you. Here are the women's recreational skates we have in size 7.0
Can I get this in women's size 11?
By Irene from Haines, Alaska on February 16, 2014
(Jackson ST1900 Womens Classic Softec Ice Skates)
By Customer Service on February 17, 2014
Answer:Unfortunately this Skate is no longer being manufactured, so the sizes we have are all that will be available. But, the Bauer Flow Recreational Women's Skates are available in size 11.0.

Drifting through this nightmare * Feel's like i'm going no where
Struggling through the muck * Fearing that i'm stuck
And I fear i'm going insane
The fear inside is mesmerizing * Taste the fear that's paralyzing
Halfway dead i'm realizing * I'm half brain dead and theorizing
And I fear i'm going insane
Sifting through the broken pieces * I'm In pain it never ceases
With nothing but bad luck * I'm feeling like i'm fucked
And I fear i'm going insane
A little something off the top * The kind cleaned up with bloody mops
Something for the little voices * They've been making all the choices
And I fear i'm going insane

It's odd how last weeks' episode of The Sopranos mirrored the whole Iraq torture mess and was rather prescient (actually not that hard since any military operation which is driven only by ideology and corporate desires will turn out to be a mess).
In the episode "Unidentifed Black Males", Meadow's boyfriend Finn gets a job through Tony working contruction. He is an outsider, but because he is Meadow's boyfriend, is brought into the circle of the mobsters who use the site to collect paycheques. But he gets to see firsthand the casual brutality of these fellas. And then later in the ep, sees something he didn't want or need to see, and could suck him (so to speak) further into the underworld. All he really wants to do is become a dentist, but he really needs this job, and his choices are becoming circumscribed by bad or worse. Not to mention being tortured by Meadow.
Meanwhile almost all of the other characters are trying to rationalize their lies. Tony, who missed accompanying his cousin Tony B to prison, because, he says he was attacked by some black guys, admits to Dr. Melfi, he had and arguement with his mother, fainted and split his head open, then lies to Johnnie Sack about Tony B not being responsible for the murder of Joe Peeps, while Tony B lies to Tony S about how his foot got broken. And then Carmelia lies about her affairs, real and imagined.
But of course all the lies catch up with you. It gets worse.Powered by Sidelines

The Delhi High Court has sought the view of the Delhi government and the Centre on a plea seeking guidelines for uniform standards in providing relief to victims of terror attacks.

"Same was the situation regarding welfare measures of women and orphaned children," Bansal said, adding it was in violation of the Disaster Management Act, 2005. The HC has now asked the Delhi government and the Centre to file its reply by July 22.

Neville Johnson promised I would be delighted with the end result. Really? No, I am not. I need to get a plasterer in to finish the job. Neville Johnson are too mean as a company to employ a plasterer. I am not talking redecoration, that's down to me. However, the high prices charged for the staircase is just that, a staircase not a finished job to be proud of. Pathetic.... even more pathetic when I complained I was told that "I was told this would be the case", not helpful one bit. Neville… Read Full Review

The service received from head office and workmanship of the project was carried out in a most professional way. The quotation was clear, the surveyor was very methodical and drawings easy to read and the fitters who carried out the job on site were real craftsmen. Everything turned out to be to my satisfaction and the oak finish looks beautiful and set off my hall in a very nice way. There is nothing I can say which I did not like… Read Full Review

After having some furniture built by Neville Johnson, I recommended them to my son. BIG MISTAKE. He was talked down to by the designer who had to come back a few times before he got the design to my sons specifications. When the bookcase was fitted it was damaged. It took some time for the so called expert repair man to come, when he did he brought with him completely the wrong equipment. Someone else then came and did a bodged job.

|Running on empty: Cavs outmuscle shorthanded Celtics
|04.05.13 at 9:55 pm ET
Life without Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett was ugly Friday night. Very ugly.
Second-year big man Tristan Thompson scored 29 points and grabbed 17 rebounds while the Celtics went ice cold in the second half and fell to the lowly Cavaliers, 97-91, Friday night at TD Garden. Pierce missed the game with a sore right ankle while Garnett missed his eighth straight game with inflammation in his left ankle. Cleveland won two of the three meetings this season between the two.
The Cavaliers used the Celtics to snap their 10-game losing streak while Boston fell for the third time in four games. The Celtics fell to 39-37 on the season but did not lose any ground on eight-place Milwaukee, which lost to the Knicks in New York. Boston remains in seventh place in the Eastern Conference, two games ahead of the Bucks in the loss column. Boston has six games remaining, including two games on its current four-game homestand. Jeff Green led the Celtics with 23 points and nine rebounds.
In a first half of unknown and unlikely heroes, it was Tristan Thompson became the latest opposing big man to dominate the Celtics inside. Behind Thompson's career high in points and rebounds, the Cavaliers outscored the Celtics 52-38 in the paint and outrebounded Boston, 58-42.
Thompson, the second-year player out of Texas, scored 21 points and hauled in 11 rebounds in the first two quarters, as the Cavaliers (23-52) erased an eight-point deficit early in the second quarter, using a 10-0 run to forge a 52-52 halftime tie.
Shav Randolph had the best first half of his NBA career, scoring a career-high 13 points and grabbing five rebounds in the first 15 minutes of the game. But as has often been the case in his short stint with the Celtics, foul trouble limited his time on the court as he picked up three first-half fouls.
The Celtics built a seven-point lead, 62-55, on an Avery Bradley three with 8:13 left in the third. But then the wheels fell off as the Celtics went ice cold. Boston was just 6-for-27 (27.3 percent) from the field. Cleveland went on a 19-3 run to take a 74-65 lead before Jordan Crawford hit a three to cut Cleveland's lead to 74-68 heading into the fourth.
But Cleveland scored the first eight points of the fourth to take a 14-point lead. Randolph picked up two fouls in a minute in the third quarter and then fouled out with 6:57 left in the fourth. Randolph finished with a career-high 16 points and seven rebounds.
Jason Terry hit a baseline three with 5:46 left to bring Boston within four, 87-83, as the crowd became a factor again. But Thompson's put-back dunk with five minutes left answered the Celtics run, putting Cleveland back up by six.
With 3:18 left in the game and the Celtics down eight, 91-83, Bradley left the game and headed for the locker room with trainer Ed Lacerte. He suffered a bruised left collar bone and returned to the bench with two minutes left in regulation but did not play. With 2:09 left in the game Green completed a three-point play to draw Boston within four again, 91-87 but an easy alley-oop layup by Tyler Zeller and a jumper by Kyrie Irving with 1:22 left put Cleveland up, 95-87.
The Celtics are off Saturday before returning to action at home on Sunday night (6 p.m.) against the Wizards at TD Garden. Boston concludes its four-game homestand on Wednesday night. For more, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
Paul Pierce will miss his second game in a week as the Celtics take on the Cavaliers at TD Garden.
This time, it will be the sore right ankle that is keeping him out of the lineup for precautionary reasons.
"I think he'll be fine by Sunday," Rivers said before Friday's game.
Pierce, who missed Monday's game in Minnesota for the birth of his first son, Prince Paul Pierce, on Tuesday night, was held out by coach Doc Rivers after Pierce complained of soreness in the foot.
Pierce was first spotted with a wrap on his right ankle in the fourth quarter of Sunday's loss to the Knicks at Madison Square Garden.
Pierce is missing just his third game this season, having played in 73 of the previous 75.
Meanwhile, Kevin Garnett missed his eighth straight game, still dealing with inflammation and bone spurs in his left ankle. Rivers is hopeful to have him back for practice on Saturday and possibly in the game against Washington on Sunday evening.
"Most likely [he'll play Sunday] but I'm just saying that to give you an answer," Rivers told reporters.

|Jeff Green and Paul Pierce: 'We're two lethal threats'
|04.04.13 at 1:19 am ET
Jeff Green has earned a starting spot on the Celtics.
He's been downright dominant offensively in 11 spot starts for a resting Paul Pierce and an injured Kevin Garnett, so come playoff time, all three should be in the starting lineup. Even Celtics coach Doc Rivers seemed to concede that it's "very possible" Green and Pierce start on the wings once Garnett returns.
"We're playing off each other," said Green, who scored 34 points to go with Pierce's 17 in a 98-93 win over a Pistons team that had no matchup answers. "We're two lethal threats on the perimeter and in the low post, so teams have to make a decision on how they want to play us. Either one of us is going to have a nice matchup."
Added Pierce: "You've seen a lot of flashes of that this year. A lot of teams come into these games really focused on what I'm trying to do in the scouting report. When you've got a guy like Jeff who can put up big numbers like that and take over a game, it's fun. It's fun to watch and be a part of."
In the final 9:06 of a game that shouldn't have been so close, Pierce and Green scored 17 straight points until a pair of Jason Terry free throws sealed the deal in the final seconds. Green scored 11 of the C's final 13 points. But don't confuse his aggressiveness in Garnett's absence a passing of the torch just yet.
"I'm not trying to take over games," said Green, who added five boards and four blocks. "That's why we've got The Truth. I'm playing off of him. We're looking for each other. We're being aggressive. If it's in my hands, I'm trying to make a play. If it's in his hands, he's going to make a play, so we've just got to play off each other."
|Paul Pierce celebrates birth of first son Prince Pierce in a clinching win
|04.03.13 at 11:20 pm ET
Paul Pierce let word slip to WEEI's Grande & Max after Wednesday's win over the Pistons that the reason for his absence on Monday was to be on hand for the birth of his first son.
"At 8:21 p.m. [Tuesday], Prince Paul Pierce was born," Pierce announced proudly to the Celtics broadcasters after a 98-93 win over the Pistons. "In the next 18 years Celtics fans, look out."
Prince Pierce was welcomed into the world and Pierce was a game-time decision for Wednesday's game.
Pierce scored 17 points and dished out five assists in Boston's 98-93 win over the Pistons, a win that clinched the playoffs for a sixth straight season.
Pierce also celebrated the 34-point performance of Jeff Green, who is helping to pick up the load without Kevin Garnett. The Celtics improved to 3-4 in seven games since Garnett went down with inflammation in his left ankle, inflammation reportedly caused by bone spurs.
'I mean it's very tough," Pierce said. "You've got a guy [Green] who's taking it upon himself in these types of situations to step up, along with myself, along with Jason Terry. So it's nice to see, just to have that dimension.
"You have seen a lot of flashes of that this year. A lot of times teams come into this game really focused on what I'm trying to do and the scouting report. And you've got a guy like Jeff who can put up big numbers like that, who can take over like that. It's fun, it's fun to watch and to be a part of.'
How does it feel for Pierce to have playoffs locked up?
'We knew we were a playoff team before the season started, you know despite the injuries and everything," he said. "Right now, we just want to focus on continuing to play well going into the playoffs.'
On nearly blowing an 18-point lead: 'Well, yeah. We had a [18]-point lead there late in the third. With like a minute to go they trimmed it to seven. You know, I think we just made things a little more difficult than they were suppose to be. Guys have got to be ready when they come in the game, to step up. I thought we let them back into the game a little too easy. They out-rebounded us, they pushed us around. The one constant I say we can have regardless if our shots fall is our defensive rebounding and we didn't just do a good job in that department tonight.'
On playing without KG until playoffs: 'Well there's some value in winning and there's also a lot of value in getting some of these other guys some playing time and some confidence going into the playoffs. The playoffs is a totally different game, it's nothing like the regular season. But at least these guys will go out there and get there feet wet. See some shots go in, rebound the ball and get some experience while they're out there.'
|Fast Break: Jeff Green drives Celtics over Pistons
|at 10:14 pm ET
Jeff Green scored a game-high 34 points — including a dagger 3-pointer with 45 seconds left — Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass each added 17, and the Kevin Garnett-less Celtics beat the Pistons, 98-93. A 76ers loss locked the C's into the playoffs, and a Bucks loss gave them a 2.5-game cushion over the eight seed.
Slump busting: In an attempt to emerge from his recent shooting struggles, Avery Bradley came out firing for the second straight game, and it's working. He made 6-of-11 jumpers against the Timberwolves on Monday in his highest-scoring night since March 5. And he followed that up with a 5-of-6 night on jump shots against the Pistons. In his 13 previous games, Bradley made just 22-of-70 attempts (30 percent) from beyond 10 feet.
Green Day: Once again, Green shined in his seventh straight start for the injured Garnett. He entered Wednesday's game averaging 21.4 points (55 FG%), 5.9 rebounds, 3.6 assists, 1.4 blocks and 1.1 steals in 10 starts this season. He added six rebounds and four blocks to his 34 points on 13-of-19 shooting against the Pistons. Five-man Celtics units featuring Green were a combined plus-152, and all but one of them were in the black, according to 82games.com's most recent updated on March 21.
(In a related note, Doc Rivers told Celtics sideline reporter Greg Dickerson "he is 100 percent confident that KG will be healthy and ready to go for the playoffs.)
Defending their honor: Somehow, the Celtics lost their two previous games to Detroit this season by a combined 35 points, allowing 103 points each time. This time around, sans Garnett, the C's held the Pistons to 36.6 percent shooting (16.7 3P%), as pitbulls Bradley and Courtney Lee held Detroit's starting backcourt to 7-of-26 from the field. Of course, Bass's 17 points on eight shots and seven boards didn't hurt, either.
Paint job: The Pistons scored their first 12 points in the paint. Here's how it went down: Andre Drummond from 6 feet, Greg Monroe layup, Kyle Singler layup, Drummond layup, Monroe layup and Rodney Stuckney layup. Not good. Detroit out-rebounded the C's 8-0 on the offensive glass (Drummond 5), scored 18-of-30 first-quarter points in the key and took a five-point edge on Monroe's eight points, four rebounds and three assists. Also not good. When all was said and done, Detroit outscored the Celtics 58-28 in the paint.
Sloppy second half: With 3:49 left in the third quarter, the Celtics took a 74-56 lead on Chris Wilcox's one and only bucket. That's the good news. The bad: The Pistons closed the third quarter on an 11-0 run thanks to nine points from Monroe and Jonas Jerebko. When Jerebko (19 points) converted a 3-point play to start the fourth quarter, the C's 18-point lead was trimmed to four, and the teams had themselves a ballgame.
Extra chances: The Celtics shot 50.7 percent from the field. The Pistons shot 36.6 percent. So, how in the heck was it a three-point game midway through the fourth quarter? Turnovers, for one. The C's committed 16 of them, leading to 20 Detroit points. And offensive rebounds. The Pistons grabbed almost as many offensive boards (25) as defensive (27), giving the visitors 22 more shots for the game.
Jeff Green scored a game-high 34 points and Paul Pierce and Brandon Bass each had 17 as the Celtics held off the Pistons, 98-93, Wednesday night at TD Garden. As it turned out, the Celtics clinched a spot in the playoffs by virtue of Philadelphia's 88-83 loss in Charlotte as the fourth quarter was getting underway in Boston.
The Celtics snapped a two-game skid and improved to 39-36, maintaining their tenuous lead on Milwaukee for seventh in the Eastern Conference and out of a first-round encounter with the Miami Heat. With the Bucks losing at home to Minnesota, the Celtics now lead Milwaukee by 2.5 games for seventh in the East.
The Celtics won the game despite getting out-rebounded, 52-34, outscored in the paint, 58-28, and beaten in second-chance points, 26-7. Boston shot 50 percent on the night while holding the Pistons to 37 percent shooting, including 4-of-24 from 3-point range.
The Pistons had beaten Boston twice in their previous two meetings, scoring 103 points each time and winning by an average of 17 points a contest. Detroit shot 50 percent in each game in handing the Celtics two unexpected losses in Auburn Hills.
The Celtics appeared to be in for another long night against the bigger Pistons in the first quarter. Detroit jumped out to a six-point lead twice before settling for a 30-25 lead over Boston after 12 minutes.
Thanks to eight of his team-leading 23 points in the second, the Celtics outscored the Pistons, 29-14, and took a 54-44 lead to the locker room at halftime.
The Celtics built their lead to 18, 70-52, on two Bass free throws with 5:37 left in the third. They led by 18, 74-56, on a Chris Wilcox layup with 3:50 left in the quarter. But the Celtics fell asleep the rest of the period, allowing the Pistons to score the final 11 points of the period and cut the lead to 74-67 heading into the fourth.
Two Brandon Knight free throws with 9:21 left cut Boston's lead to three, 79-76.
Charlie Villanueava blew a layup with eight minutes left that would have cut the lead to one. The Pistons threw away another fast break chance with 7:22 left and Pierce came down and hit a jumper to put Boston back up five, 83-78, with seven minutes left. Villanueva, the University of Connecticut product, gave the Celtics a chance to avoid another embarrassing loss. Villanueva was 2-for-17 from the field and missed all eight 3-point attempts.
Green's jumper with 4:55 left put Boston up, 89-80. His put-back slam dunk of a Jason Terry missed jumper with 3:36 brought the crowd to their feet and put Boston ahead, 91-83. A technical on the Celtics bench and a two Greg Munroe free throws cut the lead down to four, 91-87, with three minutes left but Green answered with an 18-foot jumper with 2:56 left.
Jonas Jerebko gave Detroit new life with a three with 2:29 left, as the Pistons pulled within 93-90. Knight, infamous for getting dunked on by DeAndre Jordan of the Clippers, blew a wide open layup with just under two minutes left that would've drawn the Pistons within one.
Green's third trey of the night from the left baseline put Boston up 96-91 with just 45.3 seconds left. Rodney Stuckey passed on a wide-open, game-tying three with 20 seconds left, instead deferring to Villanueva, who missed his seventh triple attempt of the night.
The Celtics continue their four-game homestand on Friday night at the Garden with a game against the Cleveland Cavaliers. For more from Mike Petraglia and Ben Rohrbach from the Garden, visit the Celtics team page at weei.com/celtics.
|Rajon Rondo returns to the parquet
|at 7:30 pm ET
Rajon Rondo surprised some by returning to Celtics shootaround just a month and a half after ACL surgery on his right knee in February. Rondo did some light shooting and tested the right knee and a light shootaround before the Celtics game with the Detroit Pistons at TD Garden. Rondo is still expected to miss the rest of the season.
"It was great just having him around [at Wednesday's shootaround]," coach Doc Rivers said. "He put his brace on and he just watched shootaround, but then he walked out — or limped out — on the floor and did whatever he did. But it's just good just having him around. It's good for him, too, probably."
Rivers was asked – jokingly – if Rondo can dunk yet.
"Not yet. It's coming. That's next," Rivers said.
Rondo tore his ACL on Jan. 25 in Atlanta and then had surgery in February and spent the the first part of his rehab with Dr. James Andrews in the Jacksonville area. Rondo returned to his Boston area home last week and has been spending time with the team ever since, attending a Celtics-Hawks game last Friday for the first time since the surgery. Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said he and the team are hopeful to have Rondo ready for the start of training camp in September.
Rondo also had some fun with two members of the Harlem Globetrotters in town for an exhibition. Thanks to the folks at CLNS Radio, here's a sample of that.

This is the 1st post about the hardiness map....
> From: Jo Ellen Meyers Sharp <firstname.lastname@example.com>
> To: Garden Writers -- GWL -- The Garden Writers Forum
> Date: Monday, August 30, 2004 10:11 PM
Hi, Doreen -- the USDA did not accept the proposed hardiness map from
the American Horticultural Society. It's back to the drawing board
and reviewing research and data. So far, no one at the USDA seems to
know if or when a new one will be issued. So the one from the early
1990s is still the current one.
The one at the AHS site is the one AHS proposed but was not accepted.

In Dakota Gentle Persuasion WorksPERSUASION FOR INSECURE WRITERS & WORLD AT LARGE
Monthly IWSG Comfort Zone
In Dakota, peaceful protest works. Request by gentle persuasion to Obama Administration has resulted yesterday in action to re-route the Dakota Access Pipeline ——not across, under or through Sioux Tribal lands or the Missouri River—but 'elsewhere'.
Patching Over the Past
Standing Rock victory is in great part due to cooperation from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, who administer Missouri land owned by the federal government. They support peaceful suggestion of an alternative route.
While I may seem cynical to mention that Texas oil interests will not suffer, as Midland, TX last week prepared to bring in the big drills and fracking equipment to its newest discovery in the Wolfcamp shale oil and gas field; I prefer to believe that President Obama's Administration denied further access in North Dakota for altruistic and environmental reasons. The last days of his presidency have been marked by sincere effort to reach out to historical enemies and patch over the past. Obama will be remembered/honored in the Orient because he apologized to Japan, while accompanying its prime minister to visit Pearl Harbor.A year has come and gone since the cluster of (enlightened) world nations agreed—in Paris during pre-Brexit-days of a United Europe—to work together more closely on world Climate emissions and future cooperative projects.
On the change in U.S. presidency, German Chancellor Angela Merkel spoke to affirm her welcome of close cooperation with the United States, on the basis of
…democracy, freedom, respect for the law and the dignity of man, independent of origin, skin color, religion, gender, sexual orientation or political views.
Our Future in Disarray?
These 'conditions' of a future relationship between U.S.A and Europe's most successful nation are not lost on Oxford historian Sir Michael Howard, who described Merkel as speaking
—true to her Atlantic Charter heritage— as beneficiary of the special relationship forged by Roosevelt-Churchill, in 1941.
One might hope for a future alliance of nations. But Howard sees only doom and gloom—
"Brexit is accelerating the disintegration of the Western World"
Sir Michael Howard
Regius Professor of History,
University of Oxford
Meanwhile, back at the ranch, a "light magnitude" 4.3 Richter earthquake registered yesterday noon in the Petrolia volcanic fault, south of Ferndale, CA. Since seismologists liken this multi-faceted triple junction of the Gorda tectonic plate to its famous So.Cal. neighbor, the San Andreas Fault, in frequency and ferocity, other mini-aftershocks are expected.**
Yet this roller-coaster world is still turning. Thank you Angels, historians and philosophers.
What has all this to do with our (writing) inner child? we ask ourselves. Our sci-fi guru Alex J. Cavanaugh may have the answer. His newest CassaDawn was released yesterday. Congrats, Alex.
And, the rest of us IWSGers will just have to hang on to our hats. 😉
**postscriptum 12/08/2016 Mini shocks were expected—not major—off Ferndale, CA. Lo & behold, December 8th 8a.m. saw a crushing Mag.6.5 quake hit six miles below sea level due West of that quaint little town. People on their way to work swerved to a halt until the tremor passed. 🙂

When It Looks Like Curtains—Capitulate
TRIBAL VICTORY FOR INSECURE WRITERS — and Others
MONTHLY IWSG CORNER—heliospheric incidents permitting
I.T. Mayhem Rules
There was no disintegrating Chinese rocket landing in my front lawn, no tsunami alarm in the dead of night, but Wednesday was not my day for anything electronic this month.
To no avail.
On the other hand, writerly deadlines are deadlines, and we IWSGers take those seriously. So I wrote a couple of notes (mostly to myself) on how gradually the Western World is coming into alignment with its own Climate Control promise to reduce fossil fuel use, and to help endangered species back up the ecological ladder.
The Good News and the Better News
This week the Dakota Sioux tribe said no thank you to construction of a pipeline through its tribal homelands. They were joined by members of the Klamath Yurok who recently succeeded in passing legislation to have dams removed from its major California chinook salmon spawning river. See last month's blog.
National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration [NOAA] who control Pacific waters.
Pods of California gray whales mingle and travel alongside humpbacks and this month have already begun their migration and been spotted in San Francisco Bay.
Unlike the Standing Rock Sioux tribe of South Dakota who never gave in, I capitulate.
Short of blaming my computer death aka total malfunction on an upsurge of sunspots—not—global IT meltdown—possible but not yet confirmed—I am more ready to believe it's my REALLY dicey coastal location which often forgets to switch us backward peoples forward in time—into the electronic world.
The birds and whales must know something. They're starting to migrate early.
When in Doubt, use Cloaking Device
For newbie writers, journalists and wannabe scribes, this month's effort is a pitiful excuse for a blog. But, if we don't keep chipping away at the old Muse, she won't perform when we really need her!
That's my excuse and I'm not budging.
I am genuinely sending up prayers, incantations and blessed gratitude to the Angel of Communication who finally let me through; in ArchAngelic language—thanks, Gabe. You are a Star.

Beating the Same Drum—for our Earthly Home
Optimism as an Excuse for Delaying
"If we try to 'save everything,' we risk saving nothing of consequence. We're already spread too thin, and losing ground every day"
Corporate 'optimism' of Dan Ashe, Director U.S. Fish & Game/Wildlife Service
One of the most facile excuses we have heard recently for the U.S. Government's NOT upholding the Endangered Species Act.
Created in 1973 as Richard Nixon's sole claim to humanitarianism on his exit from office, the Endangered Species Act is about to expire. And big business—along with its allies in the huntin'-shootin'-fishin' aka "sports" community are just going to let it happen.
Director of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. Dan Ashe told a small Defenders of Wildlife group that he sees a "giant clash" between those who favor conservation and those who favor economic development; he believes that conservationists "must accept a world with fewer wolves, salmon, and spotted owls." The Director of the U.S. agency fully responsible for protecting the nation's biodiversity went on to say that, in the name of compromise, we must accept "a world with less biodiversity."
We already live in a world with "fewer wolves, salmon and spotted owls!" Humans used to be able to live in balance with nature, as part of nature. We've allowed ourselves to behave in ways that suggest we are above nature—where we have the right to decide which species deserve to survive.
During the current Obama Administration, anti-conservationists have launched no fewer than 100 attacks on the Endangered Species Act. Often hidden, attached as riders to must-pass legislation such as authorization bills for U.S. Dept. of Defense, appropriations bills for Dept. of Interior and other Federal agencies, nearly half of the bills prohibit protection of individual species, such as the grey wolf or the Northern long-eared bat.
The Endangered Species Act is also being dismantled from within. At critical leadership positions, U.S. Administration has chosen individuals uncommitted to preserving biodiversity.
Optimism as an Excuse for Decimating World Resources
It starts at the top. The Director of the Fish and Wildlife Agency, it appears, has the view, that we must live with less biodiversity. He states—
"Hellen Keller once said, 'Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.' The Fish and Wildlife Service, and the work we do, will continue to embody that spirit.
"That's why we're working hard to ensure that our organization is fit and capable to meet the challenges in front of us. And why we're building and strengthening partnership-driven conservation efforts across the nation."
Dan Ashe, Director, U.S. Federal Fish & Wildlife Agency
Helen Keller's sentiments are laudable, but she was blind. So, it seems, are certain 'partnerships' chosen by U.S. government agencies to represent endangered creatures, once protected. Now no more.
Logging companies, careless in their custodianship of irreplaceable first-growth forest, are hungry to pick up scraps from the contested Klamath River watershed sell-off, in the wind-down to dam removal in 2020.
Green Diamond (so-called) Resource Company is one of these 'custodians'. Touting in its conservation literature to hikers its success in saving the endangered California Spotted Owl from extinction merely two years ago, it is now implementing clear-felling in the bird's target habitat of Humboldt County at the very moment its representative Endangered Species Act is becoming null and void.In continuing to allow economic gain to dictate our future action—or inaction in the case of the Endangered Species Act—we the people appear to condone our political/business leaders' attitude.
Is it not time to stop this blindness? Instead, to use our combined intelligence/compassion and search for a future where we may begin to see the Earth—our only home—recover?
Apologies to my fellow IWSGers—under our Space-Cap'n.Alex's superb guidance—along with his co-hosts—if I seem to bang on incessantly at the same drum. But we writers have always known we had finite resources—worked our way to make the best use of them—as the plight of the planet is dear to us, too. It is our only home. There is no Planet-B.
So, Dan Ashe and his fellow sportsman Neal Ewald notwithstanding, we need all the help we can get from the writers, creative people, those with a voice.
Thanks for listening and if you feel motivated, be my guest and speak up for us all.
And Happy Bealltainn!

Fishing for Compliments—or a Living
INSECURE WRITERS' MONTHLY SHARING CORNER or
EMPATHIZING with the UNSUNG aka Fishermen
Crab Fisherman's Lament 1991-1992 & 2015-2016
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the hall
all the fishermen sat at the Conference Call.
Their boats, they were nestled all snug in the Bay,
in hopes that tomorrow would be opening day.
Bud with his checkbook and Vince with his pen
were just sitting down—they had done it again.
They had to come up with some new kind of story
"Well you know guys we've got way too much inventory.
"The most we could possibly pay you's a buck.
"If you want more than that, well, you're just out of luck."
In all of the ports there arose such a clatter
people jumped out of bed to see what was the matter.
"All right guys, calm down now, you've vented your spleen.
Perhaps we could gove you a dollar fifteen."
"Enough of this bullshit—we've had it to here—
"We're not goin' fishing, we're not setting the gear."
and we all settled down for a long season's wait.
In Fort Bragg and Eureka, 'Come hell or bad weather'
Crescent City and Brookings 'We're stickin' together'
And even in Trinidad, Port Orford, too.
But we just didn't count on that bad Newport crew—
"We're not sittin' around, nah, we're setting the gear,
"The rest of you go stick a squid in your ear."
Well, the wind it was calm, and the ocean was placid,
But then came those fatal words: domoic acid.
For some weird sort of chemical found in the guts,
They're closing the season. Those guys must be nuts."
We ranted and raved, but 'twas to no avail
'cos the Feds and the bureaucrats always prevail.
After twenty-some odd days, we finally did go.
And over both shoulders some crabs we did throw.
But there weren't too many—at a pretty poor price.
For a lot of us Holidays weren't all that nice.
Well you knew things got screwed up. Now you know the reason.
So 'tight lines' to all—and maybe next season.
Tim Harkins F/V Maria Concetta, Trinidad, CA
Empty Marinas, Oceangoing on Hold
Government procrastination is only one aspect. Final pay-out—if any—of compensation to the fishing fleet is mostly eaten up in overwintering expenses, without income. Crew members are not covered by Fish & Game authority or Federal handouts. Generosity to deck hands depends solely on captains who have themselves reached near-crisis point.
In an election year, farmers with drought problems—e.g. Salinas CA last year—Chualar Crop Circle at left—and misfortunes of our Pacific hands-on fishing fleet in small coastal ports—may seem like small potatoes. Not high priority television news.
Business, Balance Sheets and the Biosphere
Tonight, however, and for two more evenings in the run-up to Earth Day and Earth Week—April 20— Humboldt State university-influenced Arcata Playhouse will feature a presentation and film screening by EPIC of TREE-SIT: THE ART OF RESISTANCE followed by discussion with HSU environmentalists who may have found a way forward amid conflict with business, balance sheets and the Biosphere.
Survival of the human race may not be on our minds as writers who document or fantasize our way on to people's reading list. But previous reminders by our ocean, our farming hinterland, our rising temperatures—80ºF today in NoCal—have been persistent—witness 2015 as hottest year on record.
And there's more to come. I'm sure even our fearless leader, Alex, and his sci-fi acolytes would find a way to squeeze our plight into readable form, so we can pull out the stops together—even while we struggle with April A-to-Z challenge, we writers might make a difference.
It's what it's all about, isn't it? Getting through this together.

Oster Toaster—Our Weather Woes Won't Disappear
MONTHLY INSECURE WRITERS CATCH-UP CORNER or
Even Scatty Writers Plan Ahead
"I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by"
Douglas Adams
With a whole *two month* chunk already bitten out of my twelve month schedule, planning ahead doesn't always do the trick for me. But in a group of writers, where advice and help are freely given and nobody (hopefully) takes offense—our Insecure Writers Support Group I was thinking of specifically—there seems no place to cower in fear. We're all encouraged to step up to the plate and at least try. With the third month of my year already begun, I'd better think of something.
Insecure Writers stick to the Grand Plan
Insecure Writers Support Group now has its own website, thanks to our Ninja Cap'n Alex who is always ahead of the game—comes of being constantly immersed in "future speak" and (successful) Space trilogies, ahem.
While 2016 may bring major change to us all—February has already broken historical temperature records worldwide—it's sometimes comforting to believe we might all already be on a trajectory which could end on one of Alex's famed remote star systems.
First we have the cyclical calendar anomaly—leap year adding a mandatory day to February or we'd all land back in the Middle Ages.
Then there is the four-year culmination of super-athletes preparing for Olympic Games in Hispanic Heaven—Rio de Janeiro. You thought the Super Bowl was huge, set for the first time in the brand new Levi stadium, south of San Francisco. Brazil will pull out all the stops for August. They've already had a mammoth Carnival—their Fat Tuesday equivalent of Mardi Gras. This year they're speaking of its continuing right through Easter—the German Oster of my title.
Meantime loads of attention will be focused next week—particularly in sea-level-rising Indonesia—where they will have an uninterrupted total solar eclipse March 9th, that will effectively black out the entire Pacific Ocean—for a moment of cosmic time—four minutes totality at zenith. Sadly it reaches mainland U.S. at dusk, and therefore we miss it. But writers in Alaska will be fortunate to see it as partial.
Only by cosmic accident do we hear that Alaska is importing snow for its famous dog-sled Iditarod race
The Irish Input
Amid all these cosmic happenings, does it seem a little tame of me to mention the second annual Dublin Writers' Conference June 24-26, 2016? Judging by last year's sell-out crowd—it has some kind of Irish spell it casts on us pen-wielders, because when we get together, all kinds of literary explosions are possible. My rationale for bringing up the June date now is that many U.S. IWSGer travelers make plans for Europe months ahead of time when airline deals can still be made. Just sayin'.
St Patrick's Day, March 17th, will be here in two weeks to remind us!
Dublin was home to James Joyce and still holds the treasured Book of Kells at Trinity College.
Meantime the plethora of Space movies which began with Ridley Scott's The Martian, continues in remakes—don't you adore Superman vs. Batman?—and as yet unreleased alien adventures even Mr Spock might show emotion for.
March came in like a Lion in my part of the world. Weather patterns influenced by a strong El Niño produced the hottest February since historical records began.
Climate will no doubt be the focus for 2016, if we can all think simple earth thoughts in between our rages and/or love affair with our Muse. Whichever takes root in our consciousness, I suspect we IWSGers will still find a bolt hole here—along with a phalanx of other Insecure companions.
May we survive the Ides of March, the heat of Equinox and the onset of an early spring with typical writerly calm. It is, after all, our metier, our trade, and it should remind us that, even if/when our world changes beyond recognition, our Muse, our inner writerly urge will still be there to pick up the pieces…
…And put them down on the next available sheet of paper 😉 No wonder writers alone understand writers. How boring we can seem to the rest of humanity.
All the more reason to keep it coming.

When Reality Looms Too Large, Dive into Fantasy
WHEN YOU RUN OUT OF AVENUES OF ESCAPE, Don't Panic*–
—the greatest motto in the galaxy— featured in the adventures of Douglas Adams's Arthur Dent, the last human to hitch a ride off Earth, moments before it was destroyed—to make way for an interstellar bypass.
*Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, 1979.
I think our revered leader, Alex Cavanaugh, would agree:
Fantasy—reading it or writing it—fills a certain hole in our psyche, a niche in our comfort zone. It gives us a reason to keep on going, even when the real world seems to have gone awry.
Groundhog Day and the 2016 Monkey Year
The Groundhog knows best. He—and the oriental Monkey who shares his calendar start date—figure if humans have generated global warming a.k.a. climate crisis and he sees his shadow on February 2nd—too much sun too soon—no wonder he goes back in his hole for another six weeks.
What the Monkey does is a whole 'nuther story!
Metal Monkeys possesses character traits like curiosity, mischievousness, and cleverness. Forever playful, Monkeys are the masters of the practical joke.
And disguise.
For us as a culture, as this year unfolds, traits to prepare for—expect the unexpected.
Finding our Own Space
Forget the Primaries, Climate Crisis Summit, our involvement/warring with so many other countries, somewhere in there we are trying as individuals and collectively to halt our mad rush toward planet instability. Somewhere in the madness, we writers are supposed to find a place of calm—a refuge—usually littered with piles of loose papers and junk—but a haven nonetheless—where we can sit down, (metaphorically) put our feet up, drag the keyboard closer——
——And write.
Many of us have previously admitted to being recluses—Myers-Briggs psychic make-up, above.
For me to allow the creative flow to come through, I have to have my filing system (kind-of) manageable and I crave a space where I won't be barged in on by the (real) world.
Says a lot for our partners/spouses/spice that they put with us, doesn't it?
I should have had more respect for the Groundhog. His timing was superb.
Happy New Writing Ideas, IWSGers.
Keep it coming.

Below the Parapet*—Writers' Safety Zone When All Around Are Losing Theirs
MONTHLY INSECURE WRITERS' SAFETY ZONE or
What I Should've Done B4 All This Holiday Madness—IWSG CatchUp Corner
*parapet, 'protecting the breast'—from Latin
pectus-i (m) breast, chest
paries-etis (m) wall, rampart, bulwark
All of us have in our veins the exact same percentage of salt in our blood that exists in the ocean, and, therefore, we have salt in our blood, in our sweat, in our tears. We are tied to the ocean. And when we go back to the sea, whether it is to sail or to watch, we are going back from whence we came.
~John F. Kennedy, Newport speech before America's Cup Races, September 1962
Trouble of the World
'There is so much going on–so much that could make a person just want to run away.
'Our lives on this Earth are relatively short, so we shouldn't get too overwhelmed by all the troubles we face while here'
Arlee Bird
Thank you, wise ole Bird, Arlee, for putting some of our anxiety into perspective. We writers tend to be head-down anyway—well below parapet level—and it takes some "venting" by a fellow scribe—wot knowzzz—to keep a calm 'sough'. That was good old Rabbie Burns's word for the windchill factor
"November chill blaws loud wi' angry sough"
We might also try looking at the way our world appears to be fighting back, after all the trouble and toil we've levied at her.
Some of my generation believe we still have a chance to right the 'wrongs' we initiated. Our attitude to confronting our errors—from nuclear power to trashing earth's resources—has made us cautious, nay, appreciative of finding the best in what's left. This (antiquated?) belief may not go down well with the Millennials—a generation who inherited our mistakes, but who prefer to smile and slide on through—but, as even they know, this is the only home we've got. So why not pull together on a few issues?
Weather—the great Leveler
While December traditionally finds a way of leveling—wind, rain, hail and snow being not particularly creature-friendly—it can be a gift of time for us scribblers. Above or below the parapet, we can wield a computer (or ice-pick) to hack out a story. No pun intended. Sometimes that's just what we have to do.
So to all my fellow moaning Minnies in our tight little IWSG corner, keeping head down can be a VERY GOOD THING.
We may have to leave the concept of climate control for another season—when life begins anew and buds start to bud again…and we catch a whiff of w-a-r-m…
But meantime, why not allow our ever-fertile Muse to raise her head above the bulwarks. We might be surprised by her dexterity.
p.s. Ninja Cap'n: my preference is for Dragons
"When a dragon offers you a helmet and a parachute, put them on. "

Autumnal Angst—Getting Even the IWSG Way
I am clearly in the minority here, at least six hours behind schedule—plus the extra three hours all good (true) Californians steel themselves to be in the office by six a.m., because that's 0900 hours New York City time— well, I'm well over that.
So, my abject apologies to our ever-indulgent, forgiving and forgetting—but also hugely talented when it comes to such sci-fi antics in the fantasy world—Ninja Captain Alex, who is ALWAYS on time.
When it happens in the "real" world, however, I'm not sure anyone on the East Coast feels suitably badly-done-by to send condolences. But I need something.
I am told it is a total communications blackout—Pacific Northwest-wide—emanating from a small C.M.E. alongside a man-made under-the-R.A.D.A.R. [i.e. undisclosed] microwave blast centered on our ozone layer over Nevada-Arizona, to induce RAIN. But it caused other disruptions. RAIN did not fall, guys of NOAA persuasion. We are still arid here.
Don't get me started on weather manipulation and climate control…
More alarming—solar unrest is just revving up. There are more solar disruptions to come. Don't blame me. Blame SpaceWeather, see sidebar right.
Oldies But Goodies Going in Style
According to studio release from the set of director Zach Braff's remake of 1979 George Burns movie, Going in Style, the comedy presents Morgan Freeman, 78, Alan Arkin, 81, and Michael Caine as desperadoes. Braff, huge on laughs, has 'Scrubs' to his television credit. He's cleverly persuaded Ann-Margret, 76, to perform as well.
Yeah-h-h for us oldies-but-goodies. UR not old, Alex 😉
"Desperate to pay the bills and come through for their loved ones, the three risk it all by embarking on a daring bid to knock off the very bank that absconded with their money."
Braff says Going In Style is about three seniors who lose their pension, because the company they worked for their entire lives sold overseas, and all of a sudden they have no money at all to live off, and they're barely scraping by as it is.
'And even though they're older guys, they decide they're going to try. They're going to attempt to rob the very bank that's withheld their pension money.'
Sometimes I wish life were as easy as robbing a bank—to get even.
But it isn't easy to get even with a hurricane, floods in the basement, or a blanket communications blackout. SpaceWeather usually covers it: solar flares—CMEs—incoming.
May I send my fellow IWSGers a token solar flare—just so you know I'm late, but—like Baba Ram Dass—I'm still here.
Post-scriptum: Thanks to Alex for such a l-o-n-g list of links to us IWSG not-so-moaning-minnies on his new all singing dancing website, and for allowing me this time for 'getting even'.*
*I so love your critique on Matt Damon's The Martian. Evokes memories of Bruce Dern's 'Silent Running', my fave sci-fi-realism fantasy.
When all around are losing theirs, give up.
And laugh.

Taking the Summer (S)Train—Leaving July to its Own Fine Madness
MONTHLY INSECURE WRITERS' CRY~~LeavME.BE~~
or Leaving on the Next Train
"From all I've learned, there's no religious revelation more satisfying than hard-won food of simple understanding—no liberation compares with seeing oneself as the illusions/delusions of the Age we live in."
Terence McKenna b. November 16, 1946, Paonia, CO. d. April 03, 2000, San Rafael, CA
R.I.P. SweetSpirit
Fifteen years after the death of 'Altered Statesman'—colleague and ethnobotanist partner in triumvirate of Berkeley LSD scientists—of whom only Baba Ram Dass survives, Terence McKenna progressed Timothy Leary's 'sixties psychedelic débût by experiencing 15 years as an Amazon Ayahuasca Shaman.
Finally he planted his own Hawaiian paradise, where his life cycle terminated.
Living in a Time-Wobble
McKenna was convinced that Western society lives in a kind of a time-wobble. With fantasy worlds available via Internet and Cell 24/7, we have essentially relinquished control over what our subconscious has already (collectively) devised for us.
"Time and our consciousness are speeding up. We are being drawn closer to the Attractor at the End of Time"
He called this our Eschaton.Add to such real human identity crisis the madness of July, revved up by today's SuperMedia as three continents celebrate historical nationalism—French Bastille Day, U.S. Independence fireworks, Vedic Purva Ashadha.
If we are already in the thrall of a winking blinking (fantasy-internet-Muse) light at the end of a metaphorical Tunnel, the only antidote for these Cosmic surprises is laughter.
Thunder Moon Jupiter-Venus Conjunction
Before we get to the funnies, however, let's take a quick look at how indigenous cultures in the Americas call on ancestral Spirits, to aid them through each Moon's wax-wane cycle.
January: Wolf Moon (end December) Old Moon
February: Snow Moon, Hunger Moon
March: Worm Moon, Crow Moon, Sap Moon, Lenten Moon
April: Seed Moon, Pink Moon, Sprouting Grass Moon, Goose Egg Moon, Fish Moon
May: Milk Moon, Flower Moon, Corn-Planting Moon
June: Mead Moon, Strawberry Moon, Rose Moon, Thunder Moon
July: Hay Moon, Buck Moon, Thunder Moon
August: Corn Moon, Sturgeon Moon, Red Moon, Green Corn Moon, Grain Moon
September: Harvest Moon, Full Corn Moon
October: Hunter's Moon, Blood Moon, Sanguine Moon
November: Beaver Moon, Frosty Moon
December: Oak Moon, Cold Moon, Long Nights' Moon
Alternate Avenues through Muse Moodswings
When all else fails, #Humor never fails to do the trick. Even the saddest, most died-in-the-wool 'LeaveMeAlone~I'm going away to eat Worms' Muse-abandoned writer—the Mole—cannot fail to pause—if only for a blogging millisecond—and let out a chuckle.
If this apology for a monthly moan will suffice, dear Reader, and dear Cap'n-@our-Ninja-helm, Alex J. Cavanaugh 😉
then let me regale you with an Alternative Alphabet, conceived somewhere along those truly ephemeral airwaves our war-torn parents/grandparents constructed to amuse themselves, after a hard day's work.
In their precious evenings, RADIO sprang to life. All kinds of fantasies might be fulfilled, all sounds and frequencies attempted.
Fantastical 'Forties Fantasies over the R.A.D.I.O
For my sins, I grew up in a 'Forties household, shielded from The Woah by a protective parent who—child polio victim, unable to serve—made all broadcasts [aka News] top priority. It became evening entertainment for the whole family—as there was only one radio!
Among a plethora of sounds emanating from the small walnut-cased glowing-dial box in the corner of the sitting room, after homework was done, we were allowed to hear a few tidbits.
One of these—probably altered beyond reasonable comprehension, to any but a native Scot—a rare glimpse into a smattering of hilarious popular culture of the time, a mingled brew—indiscriminate. But it has to make you laugh.
Give me this. You will at least allow yourself a giggle.
And, with all the crazies going on out there—Full Moon tonight, Jupiter and Venus in close conjunction, solar flares mixed in with Fourth of July weekend yet to come—you know it's the best medicine~lol
'FORTIES FORTITUDE: Adversity Kindling the Common Heart
Ralph Waldo Emerson got it right.
VERSOUL: that Unity within which every man's Being is contained and made one with all other; that common heart
"Yet, from it all I have learned that there is no religious revelation more satisfying than the hard-won food of simple understanding."

Muse on Strike? Branch out into Art
MONTHLY IWSG CORNER: Art as an Alternative to Pacify the Muse
Miraculously, we can sometimes soothe the savage breast—unfortunately standard accoutrement of our battle-ax Muse masquerading as our Ninja Captain Alex—to take a break. Or better still: think laterally—move sideways.
While ART covers a multitude of creative activities these days, it is truly refreshing sometimes to ignore the harridan shouting in your left ear; set down the pen. And take a look around.
Left Hemisphere—Literate, Analytical Right Hemisphere—Color, Number, Spatial
We are surrounded by Art—from simplest woven baskets to multi-faceted jewelry to cave painting c.2015. Yet writers prefer to keep nose to grindstone, in the fond belief that we may never need to explore that other hemisphere.
Artists, I am told, spend half their time trying to work out where their filing system is—any filing system—because they are continually having to feel their way through a "mess of space", according to one art therapist.
Hanging out in our Right Hemisphere is good for us.As luck would have it, my local art venue—Westhaven Center for the Arts—aren't I fortunate?—just opened its Membership Show. It runs through June 30th, 2015.
What is inspiring to a cranky writer with an even crankier Muse at her elbow, is that many artists admit their Muse is just as difficult to please.
Pen Mightier than the Sword
The pen, traditionally, allowed Man to elevate himself from prehistoric tattooing through medieval wars to a philosophical level of wisdom. Surprisingly, the paintbrush, the weaver's loom, the gouache splash are far more effective therapy, according to art gurus.
None of the above may be much consolation, mid-writer's block.
But there is something about an eclectic mix of art in Northern Humboldt that I wish Alex and all you Back Easters could hop over here and see. If nothing else, getting out of our rut—and ignoring Muse-girl for twenty-four hours—is sure-fire way of getting her back in harness.

Lots of writers use a nom de plume to distinguish between their personae – it's the way publishing works. Blogs, too. What choice, what abundance: we can be guided by all our Muses and still retain our integrity (who doubts it?)if we are prone to take one persona more seriously than another. For this blog I become this particular blogger because the material is time-sensitive; the research is all coming together now and our way forward is mapped. That said, it's up to us whether we take the information and run with it.
