Note Hassan's extreme partisan voting record and lack of public hearing on key legislation
Manchester, NH – At an Energy forum Monday, Sen. Hassan attempted to hide her record as a partisan politician telling the crowd in attendance, "One of the things I really worked on in the State Senate was making sure that when we develop policy; everybody comes to the table to do it. … I've always found it really important that I can hear different views at the debate in front of me because that informs really good policy making."
Today, Senate President Peter Bragdon and Majority Leader Jeb Bradley, both of whom served with Sen. Hassan, responded to those comments, recalling Senator Hassan's record as significantly different from Candidate Hassan's rhetoric.
"Sen. Hassan voted with the Democrats in the Senate over 98% of the time between 2007 and 2010," said Senate President Peter Bragdon. "On partisan issues, where the majority of Democrats and Republicans in the Senate split on an issue, Sen. Hassan broke with her party on only one bill during the four years she was in the majority - one. For her to say she worked to bring both sides together and listened to opposing views is laughable and simply untrue. Sen. Hassan heard just one viewpoint, that of the Democratic party.
"Sen. Hassan may claim the mantel of transparency and bipartisanship but when there was not sufficient revenue to pay for the dramatic increase in spending she supported in the 2009 budget, Sen. Hassan fought for passage of the job killing LLC small business income tax," said Majority Leader Jeb Bradley. "Not only was this tax anti-jobs, it was passed without even the courtesy of a public hearing. Such intensely partisan tactics remind voters of Washington style politics which voters have an opportunity to reject by choosing Ovide Lamontagne."
In June of 2009, the LLC small business income tax along with a number of other revenue enhancements were proposed on a Monday and passed in the dead of night three days later without a public hearing. Commenting later on this lack of transparency, the President of Sen. Hassan's hometown Chamber of Commerce told her hometown paper, the Portsmouth Herald, "Our members have serious concerns regarding the manner in which this tax was implemented with no public comment, and furthermore, we have questions regarding the constitutionality of this tax."
Along with the LLC small business income tax, the late night tax increases included in Sen. Hassan's 2009 budget also included the campground tax, which for the first time applied the Meals & Rooms tax to campgrounds - literally taxing the ground campers slept on.
"Sen. Hassan continues to run from her record as a tax, borrow, spend, and regulate liberal," said Lamontagne spokesman Tom Cronin. "While her campaign may be telling her to sound a note of bipartisanship, her record is one of lockstep agreement with the Democratic Party. New Hampshire needs leaders who truly can work across party lines, Sen. Hassan is not that leader, and the people of her district recognized that and fired her in 2010."

Alabama Teen Receives Death Threats For Posting Smiley Selfie At Auschwitz
Selfies strike again.
Breanna Mitchell, 18, of Roanake, Alabama, graduated from high school this year. In June, she celebrated this milestone by traveling to Europe with her grandmother and visiting Poland. Like many teens, Breanna documented her trip on social media. Sounds like a great story so far, right? The ugh moment is that Breanna snapped a smiling selfie at Auschwitz, posing in front of nondescript buildings with the caption "Selfie in the Auschwitz Concentration Camp" and a grinning emoticon.
It's not difficult to understand why Breanna's social media accounts were "bombarded," as AL.com put it. I would have expected the same thing if she had posed a selfie like this at a plantation, Gettysburg, Pearl Harbor or other location where human suffering occurred on a grand scale. I get my dander up about the way tourists behave at the World Trade Center, which still feels like a mass grave site to me even 13 years later. There's something about people posing for photos where atrocities occurred — especially selfies, with their implied narcissism — that suggests a lack of self-awareness and appropriately solemn respect.
And yet. My first thought was actually, Wow, a teenager in America wanted to visit a place of historical significance in Europe. I was impressed, actually, that a teenager from the South wanted to go all the way to Poland for a celebratory post-graduation vacation. You would expect girls her age to want to go to Cabo or the Dominican Republic, not a death camp. It shows she actually cared enough to make the effort to get all the way there and learn something. Which one hopes she did — both about European history and tacky behavior.
So it's frustrating that Breanna says she's getting "death threats," including from a man who promised to "come over and poison me." Death threats aren't such a compassionate response from people claiming to be offended by insensitivity towards those who died. I'm not suggesting that Breanna's insensitive Instagram pic shouldn't have any pushback — just that in our righteous indignation, we look (no pun intended) at the bigger picture.

I've been working with Mike Kelley for the last few years. I've represented him, I've negotiated stock sales for him, and most importantly have kept a friendly rapport with someone I believe to be one of the best architecture & interiors shooters in the world.
In an effort to share some of the magic that Mike creates, I've asked him a simple series of questions that would be beneficial for anyone looking to get into shooting architecture and interiors. If there's something that I missed, ask the question in the comments and I'll get Mike to respond in due time.
CA: What gear do you use?
MK: I get this question a lot so I've put together a page which details everything I use. You can check it out by clicking here, and it goes over every little piece! That being said, I'm also of the opinion that the gear isn't the end-all-be-all. A good picture is going to be a good picture whether it's shot on sheet film, a Canon rebel, or a medium format digital back. I personally use Canon DSLRs with mostly Canon Tilt Shift lenses and a lighting kit that generally confuses anyone but me (my assistants included). Again, I think light is light, the only thing that really helps is having a ton of power. You can also check out the 'resources' page linked in my About section to get a feel for my favorites.
CA: How did you get started in architectural photography?
MK: Long story. Here's the Reader's Digest version: At the time, I was living in the Lake Tahoe area with aspirations of becoming a professional snowboarder. I got a head laceration requiring 15 stitches and while recovering at the hospital, met a friend of a friend who referred me to my first client who was working in the high end custom real estate market in the area. I had a week to learn everything I could about architectural photography. Luckily, I had a background in fine art through studying sculpture, painting, and digital media in high school and college. By the skin of my teeth, I knocked the first job out of the park. Repeat business ensued. I kept getting hurt while snowboarding, so finally decided to call it quits on the 'snowboard career'. I threw all of my money into marketing my photography business, went door to door, got a solid client base of Designers, Architects, and Luxury Home Agents.
After a few years in Tahoe, I decided it was time for a change of scenery. I made a snap decision to move to Los Angeles, one of the world's most prominent cities when it comes to photography, art, design, and architecture. I started the marketing engine all over again, and here I am many years later.
CA: How did you develop your methods for photographing architecture?
MK: Many would consider me to be 'self taught', but it isn't as simple as that. Of course, there was a lot of reading and studying, lots of practice both on location and in front of the computer, and a lot of advice from some very, very generous people who have offered their help ad nauseum. There are so many artists and photographers who have offered help and advice over the years that it would be impossible to recount them all here, but make no mistake; my techniques were built on the shoulders of those who came before me. I may have put my own spin on it, but by looking at photographs I liked, reverse engineering them, and copying the artists of the past, I was able to come up with a style that I found fit my mindset. This may sound redundant, but the best way to learn I've found, is just by doing. Just go out and experiment with your camera, bring it home and spend hours and hours on photoshop and searching your questions on the internet – it's amazing how much information you can get just by searching. I still do that even to this day.
CA: Are you looking for an assistant? How can I assist you?
MK: I unfortunately am not currently looking for assistants.
CA: Can you critique my work or offer business advice?
MK: Due to the volume of emails I get on the subject, the answer is probably not. I am happy to offer some advice and guidance, but I'm not going to do your homework for you. There are so many variables in every question I get, the answer is always going to be different. A lot of the time, you just cannot learn by me telling you — you need to experience it first hand. Market conditions, client needs, the location, your expertise, your business skills and countless other variables come into play on every job, so it's hard to really give good advice on these things. If, however, you are in the Los Angeles area, either passing through or otherwise, I might be up to grabbing lunch or a coffee, provided my schedule allows it.
CA: Do you offer any workshops or seminars?
MK: I do not offer any workshops on a regular schedule, but I have joined up with Fstoppers to offer a workshop at their Atlantis Resort Workshop that happens in May and June each year. If you can't make it to the workshop, I would recommend my tutorial 'Where Art Meets Architecture: How to Photograph Real Estate, Architecture, and Interiors' which is also produced by Fstoppers. That will cover most of my workflow from start to finish.
CA: Do you have any more information about your tutorials?
MK: I've created a page with a lot of information and reviews that can be seen by clicking here, or you can navigate here to see the tutorial and the reviews at fstoppers.com.
CA: How do you make your pictures look the way they do?
MK: It's a combination of natural daylight, ambient light from what I'm photographing, as well as artificial light from strobes and/or hot lights. Basically, it's just a lot of controlled mixing of light. Check out the short videos below which give some great insight into my process.
Be sure to watch full screen to see the details! In this video I show you everything that goes into an architectural exterior, from setup, taking each individual exposure, and combining all of them together in Photoshop to make the final image. For bookings, questions, or comments, feel free to email email@example.com.
CA: Are there any free resources that you'd recommend for learning this type of photography?
MK: Below, I have put together a number of articles that detail the techniques and ideology that I use to create my photographs.

Cameron presents Sachin Tendulkar with special photo from British government
The British government has sent a special gift to Sachin Tendulkar, a photo of the Little Master coming off the Manchester ground after scoring his first Test century in 1990, at the age of 17.
British Prime Minister David Cameron hailed Sachin Tendulkar on Thursday and said that the legendary cricketer has been an inspiration to youngsters. Tendulkar - playing his 200th and final Test at Wankhede, against West Indies - has dominated the sport for close to 24 years.
Cameron raved about the Indian cricketer and said that he is one of the greatest of all times. "In terms of being an inspiration to youngsters, Sachin is the greatest of all times," he said.
The British government also sent a special gift to the Little Master - a photo of Tendulkar coming off the Manchester ground after scoring his first Test century in 1999, at the age of 17. The cricketer has since hit several tons and played spectacular innings in a career of 200 Tests and 463 ODIs.
Tributes and praises have been pouring in for Tendulkar. International players, musicians, actors and a host of other public figures have sent their wishes to the player for his final Test and life ahead. Among them Mick Jagger tweeted: "Saluting you @sachin_rt on your last Test match. Thanks for all the wonderful cricket you've shown us over the last 25 years, we'll miss you" (In pics: Stars tweet their wishes for Sachin, the real superstar)

What is its artistic merit?
This is my attempt to illustrate the principles of Kinematics, and illustrating the practical uses of the Strong and Weak Fundamental Forces.
What was my process?
I thought about the best way to show principles of Physics as they related to visual aesthetics. My message is the exploration of chaos (theory) and uncertainty (Heisenberg's principle), and how those words relate to Physics. In addition, how those words are juxtaposed against the period in which this footage represents.
What do I want the viewer to get from it?
Begins to see how the world around them does not just appear that way, all things have causal effects.
What was my concept?
I started with a brainstorming session that started with the world "PHYSICS" and branched out based on the fundamental forces then branched based on how they interact on a larger scale. Then I proceeded to combine that with a visual/auditory effort.
Thank You!

Glenn Frazee's Profile
I learned to woodwork, like many people, from my dad. As a kid, I remember marveling at how he could take a few rough boards and shape them into beautiful furniture. Over the years I learned more and more from him until I finally felt comfortable enough to complete my own projects.
He and I still share a workshop. I make my own creations the same way he does - starting with rough lumber, trimming, planing, shaping, sanding, staining, and finishing, all by hand.

Vodafone UK has introduced a new mapping service after teaming up with Telmap and online navigation specialists Multimap. Customers can search for a destination on their PC using the Multimap website, before sending the information, for free via an online texting service to their mobile phone. Find & Go then provides maps, local searches and navigational directions free of charge. In addition both drivers and pedestrians have access to 3D maps and directions as well as "turn-by-turn" spoken instructions, though this will cost an additional £5 per month. The service also gives reference to millions of points-of-interest, such as hotels, restaurants and attractions.
Find & Go is currently available on 14 handsets. If the handset doesn't have GPS, a Bluetooth GPS key ring will need to be purchased in order for the service to be used. A three month subscription is included on the Nokia N78, 6120 and N95 8GB, while all other compatible handsets will receive a one month subscription.
The Free & Go service can be purchased from any Vodafone retail store, through telesales or directly from Vodafone live!.

For Stephen Barton, the Aurora massacre victim the horrific incident would remain as the most haunting memory of his life.
Barton, a graduate from Syracuse University was planning on moving to Russia to teach English on a Fulbright Scholarship this September. However, his life took an unexpected turn when he was shot in the face on July 20 in the Aurora theater massacre. It's his story that he tells in a new ad, urging Barack Obama and Mitt Romney to develop a concrete policy to address gun violence.
The advertisement says that 48,000 individuals will be murdered by guns during the next president's term if the issue remains unaddressed. Hence, it is important for both of them to offer real solutions to the problem so that the lives of 48,000 individuals and many more can be saved.

Roast Bone-in Leg of Lamb
For a boneless leg, allow 15-25 minutes more for roasting -- the boneless cooks at a slower rate. The sauce is optional -- reserve some of the mustard mixture to make it.
For the sauce (optional):
Heat the oven to 325 degrees.
Put 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large roasting pan. Place the lamb leg in the pan.
Combine the garlic, mustard, thyme, lemon juice, salt and pepper. Cover the lamb with the mixture -- reserve some if you are planning to make the wine sauce. Let rest for 30 minutes.
Roast the lamb for 1 hour and 15 minutes. Raise the temperature of the oven to 425 degrees, with the lamb remaining in the oven, and finish roasting for another 15-25 minutes, depending on the desired doneness. The perfect internal temperature is 140 degrees.
Remove from the oven and let the roast stand for at least 15 minutes before carving.
While the lamb rests, prepare the sauce, if desired: Remove the lamb from the roasting pan. Place the pan, with the drippings, onto the stove top. Over medium heat, stir in the wine, salt, pepper and mustard mixture and cook to the desired consistency, adding broth or water to thin or extend, if needed.
Makes 4 to 6 servings.
Butterflied leg of lamb:
Use the same ingredients listed, except the leg will be boned and butterflied (ask the butcher to do this for you), then grilled. Rub both sides of the lamb with the mustard mixture. Heat a grill to medium. Turn the leg 3-4 times during cooking over low to medium heat for a total cooking time of 35-45 minutes. Desired doneness is an internal temperature of 135 degrees-140 degrees in the largest muscles. Let rest for 15 minutes before cooking.

The two companies expect to demonstrate a proof of concept service offering at Mobile World Congress 2016 (Barcelona, 22-25 Feb).Quortus specialises in implementing core network functions as software applications; ACS provides products and services to service providers, MSOs and large enterprises. The companies' partnership will enable services far beyond the capabilities of traditional network architectures, enhancing user experience and bringing benefits throughout the wireless ecosystem.For network operators this means more efficient use of network resources and new monetisation opportunities; content distributors benefit with higher delivery speeds and lower network latencies; enterprises gain vastly improved integration between their IT and communications infrastructure; small businesses obtain access to advanced services with outstanding ease of use."Quortus and ACS makes for a game-changing combination," said Andy Odgers, founder and CEO of Quortus. "Together we are pioneering the new Mobile Edge Computing ecosystem. Uniquely, our MEC solution combines control and user plane functions – enabling more services than user-plane only MEC solutions."This opens up a new world of powerful possibilities, creating an operator-friendly system that can support a raft of new capabilities ranging from local traffic offload and QoS management to genuine local VoLTE calling."Bob Pike, CTO at ACS, commented: "Our partnership with Quortus is a natural evolution of our two companies' respective endeavors to leverage advanced IT and communications technologies to make a real difference in a very broad range of applications. By applying intelligence at the network edge, we simultaneously remove strain on network operators' infrastructure and improve service and user experience. We are hugely excited to debut this technology at MWC '16."The companies' demo at MWC will show how MEC can be used to deliver media, voice and data services in diverse scenarios such as enterprise communications, healthcare, and public spaces such as shopping malls and sports stadia. The demonstration leverages Quortus' recently announced MEC-aligned versions of its EdgeCentrix virtualised core network products, along with ACS' IT infrastructure products, systems integration expertise, and unique capabilities in end-to-end orchestration of MEC servers and applications.MEC architectures combine wireless technology with an IT-type service environment to deliver efficient communications services with ultra-low latency and high bandwidth. MEC software applications can tap into local content and information about network conditions so that traffic can be handled in an optimal way; examples include local traffic offload and caching, and video optimisation.Quortus' ECX technology takes this principle a step further, by implementing core network functions themselves in software. The believes the combination of these two approaches will allow service providers to truly deliver on the promise of MEC. Services are provided where they are consumed – at the network edge.See also: Computing at the network edge drives new opportunitiesJames Atkinson EditorLinkedIn |Google + |Email Leave a CommentPlease write code to prove you're humanMore on...

I'm a Times New Roman Girl
For the record, I had a Brother word processor that I won as a result of a bet. Admittedly, the bet was scribbled on a napkin in a South Carolina bar over tequila, but that's another story (and it's a GOOD one!).
Long ago, I used to work for a retail cookie chain--not Mrs. Fields--and my former district manager said that if I stayed on for another year he would buy a word processor for me. I stayed, and he fulfilled his end of the deal. (He's one of the good guys.) Anyway, the processor's default font was Courier, and the machine lasted all through my undergrad college experience. Once I got my first computer for grad school, and IBM Aptiva, I'm pretty sure the WordPerfect default font was Times. So I've stuck with the Times family ever since. It's a great everyday font that transfers 98 percent of the time to Macs when sharing files. And it looks elegant without being pretentious.
I'm also partial to Galliard and Georgia (the Blogger composing font). But enough about my favorite fonts. Tell me about yours.
Getting My Ducks in a Row
(OK, they're Canadian geese, but you get the point.)
Sometimes the only way out is through. So in order to get myself on track, here's my poetry to-do list for the entire world to see.
This week
- Prepare for tomorrow's NEWS Reading
- Write one poem
- Write next Poetry Thursday article
- Write article for side project
- Send poetry out to two publications
- Research cool side project—more on that later
(I'd do more this week but I have friends visiting from Texas. They'll join us for the Red Sox-Yankees game on Friday! Woo Hoo!!!)
Next week
- Write one poem
- Start prepping to team-teach a seminar at Brookline Adult & Community Education
- Research publishers/contests to send manuscript
- Do a minor revision to manuscript—I want to add a few poems to my current collection
- Research local and regional organizations for grants and fellowships
- Look into writing a commentary for NPR—this is a dream of mine that I've been mulling over for a long time
What's on your to-do list?

If You're Having a Birthday This Year ...
In the Globe's Astrological Forecast, the section begins: "If Today Is Your Birthday," but I've retitled it since my birthday was in February.
If You're Having a Birthday This Year:
This is the year, so don't blow it. Make those changes, resolve issues that have plagued you for years and, most of all, don't fear failure. Go after your dreams, hopes, and wishes. This isn't the year to sit and think--it is an action year, so start the ball rolling.

Sunday Scribblings: Simple
Keeping things simple means keeping things boring. Sometimes, my to-do lists can fill up the back of an envelope. But having a physical record of the things I have to do, and the things I want to accomplish, keeps me on track. What can I say, I wouldn't be nearly as happy if I had a simplier life.
Despite all of this, I do like simple pleasures. I love my daughter's open-mouth kisses, and my son's big, bright smiling eyes. When my husband rubs my back after a long day, he gives me goosebumps. I love watching Red Sox center fielder Manny Ramirez hit a home run. I especially like the way after he hits the ball, he drops his bat and stands at home plate a second or two before he runs around the bases, as if he knows he's just done something great. That's usually the feeling I have after writing a good poem. For a few moments, it's perfect. Doesn't get any simpler than that.
I should mention that my favorite magazine, ironically, is Real Simple.

What Will You Be Doing This Weekend?
So this Memorial weekend, I'll be standing in front of the hose--if the kids will let me. We'll be gardening, going for ice cream, and taking Alex to see his first movie. Tim and I will cook a few steaks on the grill and enjoy a glass (or two) of wine while Alex and Ella play baseball in the backyard. Did I mention there's lots of Red Sox baseball this weekend? As for "me" time, I'll find it. Can't keep me away from my writing sessions at Starbucks. And I foresee a much needed shopping trip in my future
I'm sad that I haven't been blogging much these last few weeks. Still haven't gotten my groove back, but I will do my fair share of reading and posting in the evenings. I feel like a noisy neighbor popping in to see what y'all have been doing. Whatever you've been up to, I can't wait to read about it.
Hope everyone has a great Memorial Day weekend (and a great weekend, even if you don't celebrate the holiday). Lastly, I want to offer all of the families with troops abroad my sincerest gratitude and wishes for safe and speedy returns.

Poem for Poetry Thursday
What I should do is go back and watch the movie and see what else to add. I should also add that the last line is a direct reference to Naomi Shihab Nye's poem "Making a Fist."
Conversation between Naomi Shihab Nye and Mr. Spock from Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan
Despite the reconnaissance, the reports
to the contrary, the space-time continuum
and all its distortions, this is the
mother of all I told you so's. Going where
no one has gone before … what does your superior intellect
tell you now? You serve but never lead.
I bet you thought a man with enough
smarts and backbone could
survive anything.
Not true.
You've walked from one end of the galaxy
to the other but you always saw
the end at the beginning.
Forever this has been your truth
your human truth.
Spock, if you are still with us,
curl your hand into a ball.
Make a fist.

Save the Cheerleader ...
My mom just called to tell me that the SciFi Channel has a 21-hour Heroes marathon on now, leading up to Monday's season finale. Next to Red Sox baseball, this is the best show on television.

Random Thoughts on a Friday Night
- Home on a Friday night ... what's up with that? I remember when I was the life of the party. Now, I'm thankful for my laptop, a cup of hot tea, and a little peace and quiet.
- Rain, rain go away! The high today was 46 degrees. This is why I loathe May in New England.
- Because of the rain, the Red Sox had to postpone their game tonight with the Atlanta Braves. And while I am a Braves fan, I'm all about the Red Sox, baby! I really should blog about them more. I mean, they do have the best record in baseball.
- Yesterday I worked the equivalent of a double header editing the names of the graduates in my college's commencement booklets. I was at my desk for roughly 14 hours. Good thing I only have to do this once a year.
- My husband Tim has really pitched in this week cooking dinners and grocery shopping. He's usually helpful around the house, but this week he really came through since I was preoccupied with work.
- Alex is potty training, bless his heart. He's getting better at it but, as many of you know, training is not without its "accidents." But since he's been doing so well, we're due to take him and his sister to Chuck E. Cheese over the weekend.
- Chuck E. Cheese has about the worst pizza I've ever had! Definitely geared to kids.
- Ella's my sweetheart. I love both kids, but she still needs me in that motherly way: to kiss a boo boo or rub her back before she goes to bed.
- Been thinking a lot about my lack of writing this month. Not much poetry or blog posts in May, but I hope that's all going to change. I feel like whatever limbo I've put myself in, I just have to write my way through it.
- Also, I've been thinking that maybe my poetry is plateauing. I want to take my poetry in a new direction but I don't know how to do that exactly. Do I write through it or look for exercises to get me there? Hmmmm. Something to think about on this rainy evening

Poem for Poetry Thursday
I don't write much about my work at a college, but commencement is on Saturday. Today is the day the marketing department formats the commencement booklets. Specifically, we read all of the names of the graduates and check for misspellings and correct order. Can you say tedious? So I won't be around much today. Hope you read your poems tonight.
Bear with me on this first draft.
I remember my father's worst days.
His clumsy mythology crosses my mind
tonight like shadows on a cave wall.
My father, who grew up on Bank Street,
was an angry little heap. Went to school
with a layer of newspaper inside his holey shoes
the only thing separating him from the streets.
His knuckles rough like the back of a penny
from punching the brick wall behind his house.
Imagine the growl of hunger,
the fire of poverty. Can you even begin
to comprehend my father
watching his father dig a ham bone
out of the garbage to use in a soup
for that night's dinner?
I should forget, as you have tried,
your sad, perennial stories
but they grow and bloom inside of me
that tight bud of sorrow
opening in me like a fist
over and over again.

January O'Neil reads "The Kerning"
Yep, here I am again reading at the Super Hoot last Sunday.
(Note to self--look at the audience every once in a while!)
Hey, Magazine Editors!
Please edit your submission guidelines! What's the deal: Are blog-posted poems acceptable, or not?
If everyone who reads this posts a similar query on their blog, we could reach every poetry magazine editor out there. Inquiring minds want to know!
Post the question. Let's get this party started.

Five songs I never get tired of hearing:
- Come Rain or Come Shine—Ray Charles. This was the song Tim and I danced to at our wedding. I ljust adore his version of this classic.
- Vultures—John Mayer. My new favorite. Not tired of hearing it yet.
- Makes Me Wonder—Maroon 5. Very pop, but I like it and I think Maroon 5 keeps reinventing itself
- Tyrone—My Morning Jacket. Love this version of Erykah Badu's song.
- Can't Get Enough—Mary J. Blige. Gotta give it up for my girl, Mary J.!

Happy Mother's Day!
I am here at Starbucks sipping on a cool beverage, looking a bit pensive because I took my own photo with my camera's auto timer (hee hee hee!). The kids are spending time with Dad today. They made tea and toast for me this morning--gotta love that. They've bouncing off the walls today for some reason, zigging as I insist on zagging. So on this beautiful day, I am out with the camera, basking in the sound of my own thoughts—a priceless luxury to someone with little time and lots of big ideas.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you in the blogosphere. And a special Happy Mother's Day greeting to my mom. Love you!
January O'Neil at the Super Hoot!
Here I am reading my poem "Night Work" as a winner of the 2007 Eagle Tribune/Robert Frost Foundation Spring Poetry Contest yesterday.
(It's taken me all morning to get this video uploaded--wish I could figure out how to edit the graphics.)

Congratulations, Ms. Lucille!
I choose not to have any regrets in life. But, I will always, always, ALWAYS regret not taking a class with Ms. Lucille. Came close once. She was scheduled to teach at NYU while I was a graduate student, but took she ill and wasn't able to be in New York City that semester (got stuck with a poet/instructor I hated). She's also a friend of Cave Canem, so I've been in close company with her, but never had the opportunity to study with her.
It has been my privilege to see Ms. Lucille read many times, in venues as intimate as a country church and as large as 5,000 standing room only. Like Phil Levine, she is a living representation of how I want to live my life as a poet. As a black women, she has said in interviews that when her first book came out, she had six children under the age of 8. So when I think there's no way I can find time for poetry, I think of her. And when I think of her, one word comes to mind: true.
I really could go on, but suffice it to say congratulations to Lucille Clifton for winning such a prestigious honor. You are an inspiration to us all.
"won't you celebrate with me"
won't you celebrate with me
a kind of life? i had no model.
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
my one hand holding tight
my other hand; come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.
~Lucille Clifton

Poem for Poetry Thursday
I have to admit, after posting a poem every day in April, I've been slow to post anything this month. Also, it's warm outside so my brain is now switching over to spring/summer mode.
Writing this week's poem felt like I was still able to tap into that place I go to create something new. Like exercise, my poetry muscles are in shape now, and fall back into a routine when needed. I did use the new, hip-and-cool Poetry Thursday Randomizer this week. After a few tries, I thought long and hard on the word "shade." The poem still needs work, and I'm not sure about the title.
Looking forward to reading your poetry this week.
Collateral Damage
The forsythia are dying,
as sure as my name is May.
They were goners before my hands
snapped the twigs, leaving nothing
but their jagged edges to bend in the wind.
Such is the life of those
sequestered into hibernation.
After winter's long silence
there's a need to possess
this bit of beauty.
Soon the petals will close and shrivel
then the tulips, the daffodils—those bigmouths
rendered speechless under the afternoon shade.
They had to know this was coming,
this change, this grieving.
If you speak to the cardinals,
they'll tell you to lower your expectations.
But the bees, they'll confess
it was over before it ever began.

The Writer's Way
We all have our writing rituals. Note Ella's routine with her brother's markers.
For the last few months, I've been heading to my local Starbucks on Sundays as my little respite from the family, and to get some writing done. Usually I write to music or some sort of noise I can tune out. I think that's because I'm an only child I have a hard time with silence. When I'm out at Starbucks, I'll drink hot chocolate (though I may have to switch to iced tea in the summer), but at home I like hot tea with lemon before settling down.
Often the writing starts long before I sit down with my journal. I also listen a lot more to conversations, looking for poetry in the things people say, or don't say. If I'm lucky, I'll mishear a phrase and build a line out of it. And there's a good amount of free association that happens before pen ever hits the page.
As for the mechanics, I tend to be a late-night writer. After the kids are down for the evening, usually, I'll open a book of poems to get me going. Then I'll write down a few lines with a blue Uniball Onyx pen and write in my unlined journal. Or, I write on my laptop, which I did a lot of in the month of April.
Now I'm curious about your writing rituals. Specifically, has your ritual changed during the last few months? Does the frequency or location change with the season?

Happy Cinco de Mayo!
I've been slow to post since the end of NaPoWriMo. Truth is, I've been catching up on my sleep. What I didn't count on is being a little out of sorts after the experience. For a month, my mission was to write a poem a day. Now, I have to transition back to normalcy. I'm doing those things I let slide, including exercise, spending so extra time with kids, taking to my husband (hee hee hee), and, of course, watching the league-leading Boston Red Sox.
Today, the weather should be gorgeous, 60s and sunny—a good day to take the camera out for photos of the kids. I really think I need to try something new. I'll have to give that some series thought.
Maybe this will jump-start my May efforts.
May To-Do List
- Revise April poems
- Write four poems in May
- Debrief NEWS reading
- Prep for next NEWS reading/create fall '07 schedule
- Prepare for Super Hoot poetry reading
- Send out poems to two publications
- Send out manuscript to one publisher/contest
Other Stuff
- Budget—this is one area I let slide last month
- Shop! (Hence, the need for the budget)
- Get tennis racket restrung/play tennis
- Prep for upcoming seminar I'm team-teaching with Erin
- Be more social—invite friends over for dinner
Tonight, my husband and I will sit out in the back yard with margaritas!

Good Vibrations on Poetry Thursday
I think the event was well received. Fortunately, we didn't hit any bumps in the road. Our readers were fabulous, and the audience was kind yet understanding of our grassroots effort. (Don't want to say too much more--I may write about the experience in a separate post.)
I'm going to tell the rest of the story in photos. Some of the pictures are blurry--sorry about that! Thanks to all of the participants, and all those who helped or sent good vibrations our way. Erin are I are grateful for your support.

BUSINESS leaders today called for a massive increase in spending on transport after new research showed that delays and other problems were hitting productivity and causing stress among workers.
The CBI called on the Government to commit an extra £1bn over the next two years on road and rail projects.
But the business group said total spending by private firms and the Government should be lifted by £60bn over the next 10 years to £300bn.
Director General Sir Digby Jones also called for the UK's "decrepit" planning regime to be reformed.
A survey of 1,000 firms and individual workers for the CBI, showed "widespread dissatisfaction" with the nation's infrastructure.
Half of those polled believed the UK's reputation as a place to do business was being significantly harmed by transport problems.
Two thirds of firms expected the transport system to get worse in the next five years, and half said transport problems were having a substantial impact on their profits.
Two out of five said staff were often late for work and arrived stressed because of delays.
Most of the firms questioned had introduced more flexible working to try to overcome transport problems.
Sir Digby said: "Although transport spending has risen in recent years, there are decades of under-investment to deal with and it is clear that business still finds it far too difficult to get its goods to market and its people to work.
"The Government must ensure more is done now to improve the transport network if its business-friendly credentials are to have any credibility.
Do you agree that public transport has got worse? Have your say below.

Loons in the Sunset
The loons returned to Caribou Lake on May 3rd, the day after the ice went out. On this particular May evening a pair of loons swam by, hollering and calling to others flying overhead on their way north. The overhead loons circled and landed for a short visit before continuing on their journey. This pair is here for the summer. They appeared content to patrol the lake together and they seemed to enjoy each others company, like best friends. Soon they will be nesting for a month, hopefully followed by a baby or two.
When the loons passed by my home, I slid my kayak into the water and followed them for a ways, enjoying the view and the play of light on the glassy surface of the lake.
The loons were a reminder that summer is fast approaching and the season of new life is upon us once again with flowers and leaves and babies of all kinds popping up and hatching all around us.
I sat for awhile and found myself gazing at the loons and the sunset while floating on the calm water and I knew that God had created this moment for me and you to remember the creator of all this beauty and to thank Him for all of the visible evidences of Him that surround us each day. It's a reminder to slow down and appreciate life, if only for a moment, and to realize that as surely as the seasons come and go, so does our short stay here on this beautiful earth. God's attributes are apparent in all of His creations, and he uses nature to show us more of who he is, day by day.
The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want.
He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters.
He restores my soul; He leads me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil;
for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. Psalm 23

Usually, Andrew would finish his day at work by visiting the local bar and getting a drink or two before heading home to his family for dinner. But not today. Today, he went straight home and turned on a news channel. The president of the nation was giving a gloomy lecture on the nuclear capabilities of the many enemies their nation had. It wasn't pretty.
They were ALL nuclear armed and prepared for anything. This especially worried Andrew. He worked as an engineer for a government missile launch station. He was almost certain all out nuclear war would happen eventually. It was just a matter of when.
He had an idea, though. For months, he and his neighbor Ryan talked on and on about stealing a spacecraft called the X/5A. It had been recently constructed for space exploration and Ryan even worked as a test pilot for the craft and made over 15 flawless trips into space and back home, so Ryan was certainly able to fly the X/5A. The two of them had began secretly stocking the craft with supplies in hidden compartments for both them and their families. The plan was to leave the planet and head for another planet that was very similar to their own. Government ships had made several flights to this planet, taking various pictures and orbiting the planet itself. The planet was full of water and many parts were a healthy green color. Some photos even showed signs of civilization, but the crews of these crafts weren't so sure.
So, that was the plan. Steal the craft and fly off to this planet. It seemed so easy. But it certainly couldn't be that easy. They still needed some time to prepare further. They needed time.
But time wasn't on their side. 5 weeks after the president's speech, two enemy nations launched a total of 6 missiles, all nuclear armed and all heading for major population centers. They had 20 minutes until the missiles arrived. So, Ryan and Andrew bundled their families into their cars and headed to the facility. They lost seven minutes to the chaos on the streets. People were rioting and looting. Police stood atop buildings and vehicles, shooting randomly. Some people were attempting to make it to the already packed fallout shelters. Problem was, most of the fallout shelters were sealed up and no one could get in. When they reached the facility, they found that all the personnel had already been evacuated to government bunkers around the region. Sure, they could've joined them. But even if they did make it, what sort of horrors could await them on the surface? Andrew didn't like to think too hard about it.
Ryan used his access codes to get into the hanger where the X/5A was housed. They had less than 6 minutes to leave the planet before the first nukes dropped. Ryan assured them that the X/5A could easily depart in that time. After all preflight checks were complete, the families strapped in and the craft roared to life and moved out of the hanger and on to the runway. Andrew looked out of the window to see two bright streaks in the sky nearing his home city. Ryan pushed the throttle and the craft spurted blue flame from the engines on the back. In under a minute, the craft was breaking through the lower atmosphere and Andrew turned to see the city being engulfed in nuclear fire.
An hour later, the group aboard the craft silently gazed out into space. Andrew was alone with his own thoughts and sighed at the thought of what was happening back home. He tried not to think about it. Finally, his oldest son Caleb broke the silence.
"Dad? What is this place we are going to?" he said quietly. Andrew smirked.
"It's a interesting planet. It has buildings and cars just like the ones back home. It is lush and green and full of water. It even has people just like us, they sound like us, look like us too. It's the third planet from the sun."
"What's it called, dad?"
"It's called Earth."
