Abstract : The feedback limited control system (FELICS) is a computer-aided teleoperation (CAT) technology that enables the remote operator to designate an extended path that the vehicle will automatically follow. This report describes the methodology and results of a study designed to quantify the effects of this technology on remote driving performance and operator workload in both single and dual task conditions. In the dual task condition, the operator's ability to detect and identify targets while driving was also measured. These data were compared with those obtained when the same vehicle was operated in the standard mode of remote driving. The study was conducted on an indoor test course consisting of five segments: straight-aways, turns, serpentine, figure 8, and obstacle avoidance. Generally, for most segments of the course, greater speeds and fewer errors (p <.001) were achieved by subjects who drove the vehicle in the standard mode. In this mode, subjects rated the effort they expended as being less (p <.05) than did those subjects who operated the vehicle in the CAT mode. A significant relationship was found across driving modes between the distance traveled off the road and the subjects' assessment of their performance (p <.05). An association was also found between the subjects' level of frustration and the number of obstacles hit in the obstacle avoidance segment of the course (p <.05). When subjects were required to detect and identify targets while driving, driving speed in both modes decreased significantly (p <.001). In the CAT mode, the distance traveled off the road in turns and in the serpentine segments increased (p <.05), but driving error in the standard mode on these and other segments of the course was unaffected. Fewer targets were also correctly identified in the CAT mode than in the standard mode of remote operation.

This gathering of Haiku Canada members takes place in May, during the Victoria Day long weekend, in a different Canadian city. Past cities include: Calgary, Montreal, Ottawa, St.John (Newfoundland), Toronto, Vancouver, etc. The conference runs from Friday evening to Sunday morning.
The highlight of the Haiku Canada conference is a night renku party lead by Marshall Hryciuk where participants write a 36-links renku. The renku takes place over the course of two nights (Friday and Saturday) and participants stay up late in the night (sometimes past 2 a.m.) to write haiku, drink sake (after the sixth verse) and eat snacks. The renku is read at the end of the conference and later published in the Haiku Canada Newsletter.
Another highlight of the conference is the banquet held on Saturday night. The banquet comes at an extra cost (around $40), but is well worth it, as you get to eat with friends and enjoy an evening entertainment at the end of the dinner. Don't miss it!

Haiku Canada members are really friendly: they will greet you with open arms, even if it's your first conference, and you will be immediately part of the family!
You'll have the chance to meet the founding members of Haiku Canada (our Haiku CanadaLegends!): George Swede, Marco Fraticelli, Marshal Hryciuk, Nick Avis, LeRoy Gorman, etc.
If the conference takes place in your city, you really have no excuse not to go! And the registration fee is really low (approx. $40)
The next Haiku Canada conference will take place at Bishop University in Sherbrooke in May 2018.
The Haiku Canada Weekend 2017 took place at the Mississauga campus of the University of Toronto from May 19-21, 2017. Anna Yin, poet laureate of Mississauga, was the host and organizer.
The schedule was a bit more informal this year. The program included a lot of book launches. It was like a haiku festival. We celebrated haiku in reading, writing, and sharing haiku in many ways.
On the final day of the conference, Old Pond comics were featured on the centerpieces at the banquet.
Friday May 19, 2017
The Haiku Canada Weekend took place at the the University of Toronto in Mississauga.
Conference - Day 1
Terry Ann Carter, Haiku Canada President, welcomed attendees of the 40th anniversary of Haiku Canda. "'Haiku Canada is like a family reunion -- except we like everybody."
Emiko Miyashita was a guest of honour, participating in many discussions and debates, and offering insight on haiku in Japan and in the 21st century.
Anna Yin, the poet laureate of Mississauga was our host and conference organizer. She prepared a beautiful video to promote the conference in which Old Pond Comics was featured under "Humour in Haiku".

What is haiku in 2017
Nick Avis lead an active discussion with the audience, encouraging participants to express their opinion about what is haiku in 2017. 'Season word is what makes haiku unique in world literature' says Nick. 'Haiku is poetry' says Marshall. 'Juxtaposition is the key to haiku' says Charles. 'Haiku is a minimalist poem' says LeRoy. 'Haiku is like time-travel' says Debbie, because it captures a moment in time'.
However, 'A 'ahah' moment does not define haiku' - says Nick.
'The definition of haiku in Japan is a 5/12 syllables or 12/5 syllables, with a cutting word. But there are all sorts of haiku that don't follow the rules', says Emiko.
Game of Three
The day ended with a three-persons reading of a play by Nick Avis Game of Three.
After most participants go to bed, a group of 22 participants reunited in the lounge of the Oscar Peterson Hall (student residence) to compose a renku under the guidance of Marshall Hryciuk and assistance of Karen Soehne.
What is a renku?
A renku is a series of 36 linked verses. You start with a 3-line haiku followed by a 2 line haiku, then a 3 line haiku, etc. It's written as a group.
How does it work?
The renku leader provides the theme for each vers (example: 3 line, winter). Participants write their haiku on a piece of paper and give it to the leader to read. The leader will silently read the haiku. He might select the haiku or briefly comments on the reason the haiku is not selected while the participants return to his seats.
"You don't have to be sorry if you don't give me what I want", says Marshall.
"Warning: this is not a test" jokes Karen.
If you're lucky, he might like it enough to "keep it for later".
The first six verses
One of the rules of renku is you don't want anything too 'violent' in the first six verses. Rejected verses were deemed 'too jazzy', or included words that did not fit the quiet mood of the first six verses: "Howl is way too loud for the first six (verses)"
her post-surgery pain
while watching
I Love Lucy
- Deborah Kolodji
After the six verses
Things get more difficult since you cannot repeat themes or words that were used in previous verses. "For this link: no fruit, no furniture."
When we're asked to write verses on current events, the recent floods in Quebec and Ontario were on our mind:
Toronto islands
nude beach
under water
- Karen Soehne
Also the G8 summit and the story of the woman climber stuck at the summit of Mt Logan after an earthquake:
- Deb Koen
Mount Logan
rescue season begins
- KJ Munro
It can be difficult to write 2 line haiku if you're not used to it. Beware if you're trying to pass a 3 line haiku for a 2 line haiku, or vice-versa. The leader will catch it: "That's really a 2-liner."
When we approach the love verse, someone asks : "Will it be 2 or 3 lovers?" We all laugh. What she actually said was: "Will it be 2 or 3 love verses?"
she gives him a kiss
in the final burst
of fireworks
- Terry Ann Carter (link 14)
Misunderstanding can also happens when the leader has trouble reading your handwriting:
- Smuggling? asked Marshal reading a haiku.
- No, snuggling, says Dina.
A fun part of haiku is when we include a verse related to the place or something that happened in the renku session. In this case, the name of the student residence, Oscar Peterson, named after a famous jazz musician:
Oscar Peterson
hitting the high notes
-Deb Koen (link 16)
to be continued...
The renku was held over 2 nights. You can read the rest of the verse in the Saturday section.

Memories of Haiku Canada by Emiko Miyashita.
"Haiku is a way of life. Write it, polish it, share it."
During her presentation, Emiko mentionned that 'In 2016, Jessica Tremblay helped create manga (for Haidan haiku journal in Japan). The series was a hit. Japanese people discovered haiku can be interpreted in many different ways, including manga."
In Japan, she did workshops. A student asked her in Japanese: "Old lady, why do you write haiku?"
Book tables
A beautifl bookmark on handmade paper by kj munro, and more!
The Japanese charms went home with Marco Fraticelli.
Conference - Day 2
Maxianne Berger talks about Winnows, haiku glenned from Herman Melville's Moby Dick. It took her six years. She was carrying the pages of Moby Dick in her purse. She thought: "Coudl I find LOVE in the epilogue?" She looked and fount it from: "fell over"
Here's my hommage to her beautiful book.
Body of Evidence
KJ Munro presents 'Body of Evidence', a collection of crime haiku, or "killer ku", written for the national crime writers exhibit at the Whitehorse public library last year.
"Read us a sentence!" yells Marshall, producing much laughs.
The book is published by Claudia Radmore-Coutu and 10$ procceeds go to Haiku Canada fundraising
Leaf taking
Marilynn Potter reads from he book "Leaf Taking", concluding with: "You have to buy the book if you want (to read) the sex."
Michael Dudley
Michael Dudley reads accompanied by an Objiway musician (playing drums, flute, electric banjo and ukulele) and an Iranian woman translating (in words and gestures) in Iranian.
The business of Isness
Published by Claudia, The Business of Isness, is about a man dying from leucemia who played in 25 places and recorded even his last moment.
Ana Vakar's Haiku
Vicki McCullough talks about reuniting the work of Ana Vakar in a book called Sysiphus: Ana Vakar's haiku" published by Claudia Radmore-Coutu.
Ana Vakar spoke Russian, French, English. She often said one of the advantage of haiku is to help perfect her English.
we part the moon follows us both
-- Ana Vakar (1979), oneline haiku
Old Pond Comics
Gingko walk
Anna asked me to send her some Old Pond comics and she turned them into beautiful centerpieces that decorated the tables during the banquet.
A group of 30 people reunited to finish the renku we started last night. (check out Friday to read an account of the first night)
This year, the renku included 'number' haiku, fantasy haiku, and ridiculous haiku. "Everybody is so serius for the ridiculous haiku." I looked up and saw my haiku right there:
electric outlets
on the ceiling
- Jessica Tremblay (from: 40 to infinity: renku, Haiku Canada 2017)
Another ridiculous submissions included the words written at the bottom of a painting hung on the wall of the student's lounge:
- painting on 1st floor student lounge of the Univeristy of Mississauga
- I want 2 line winter, but not short and not absurb, says Marshal.
-So, two boring lines?, jokes Karen Soehne.
snow angels
in the cemetery
- Phil Kocher
"I don't like 'winter' in the winter link. "I don't like precipitations, and I'd like something cold." He was served with:
shaking the ice crystals
from his beard
like a dog
- Maxianne Berger
"Canada means, 'it's snowing somewhere' and Toronto means, 'space between snow'. (joke told by Marshal) We move to an inside scene to warm up:
forgiving each other
over the rattle of dice
- Sandra
Then we write a 'unrequited love' verse. "Unrequited love means 'unconsummated" - Marshall
she hesitates
wether to take off
her mask
- Emiko Miyashita
It's time for the moon haiku. "For me, the moon is always autumn", says Marshal. "I don't like moon reflection. Forget about windows, water reflections, I just want the real moon."
as the moon rises
a flock of starlings
in one tree
- DeVar Dahl (From: 40 to infinity: renku. Haiku Canada 2017, link 29)
digging potatoes
the boys start to play catch
- Dina E. Cox (From: 40 to infinity: renku. Haiku Canada 2017, link 30)
Then, it's a mythology link.
Chiron has lost his oars
and is beside himself
- Maxianne Berger
Then it's time for a 3 line fantasy haiku. When I say outloud that I'm spaced out because it's too late, Karen Soehne writes a spontaneous haiku:
spaced out
on moon cakes
we become pumpkins
- Karen Soehne (I don't think this one made it in the renku, but it was pretty funny)
Instead, the following verse was chosen:
the oracle at Delphi
answers the question
in a valtic language
- Deb (not sure if it`s more Deb Koen or Deborah Kolodji)
As for the 'current event' link, the recent floods in Quebec and Ontario were on our mind:
building a wall
out of sandbags
- Pamela Cooper
Then, the flower verse was attempted: "Too witty" or "It's not apositive view of flowers." Finally:
picking our way
over muddy ground
avoiding blossoms
- Gale
A mythological verse, based on a Pacific First Nations tale, was chosen to close the renku:
children climb out
of the clam shell
- KJ Munro (From: 40 to infinity: renku, link 36, Haiku Canada 2017)
We finished the renku the second night at 12:05am
Sunday May 21, 2017
Reading of the night renku
The title of the renku is 40 to infinity. The title is from a 'number haiku' written by Emiko Miyashita during the renku.

The End
Next conference
The 2018 Haiku Canada conference will take place at Bishop University in Sherbrooke.
The Haiku Canada Conference took place in Whitehorse (Yukon Territory) from May 20-22 2016. I had the pleasure to be the keynote speaker and cartoonist-in-residence.
The theme of the conference was: Haiku North of Sixty... with frogs!
There were 48 people registered to the conference. I estimate that about 12 people came from the North (Yukon, Alaska), 25 from the West Coast (Vancouver, Victoria, Los Angeles), 6 from the East Coast (Montreal, Rigaud, Ottawa), 5 from various regions (U.S.)
Thursday May 18, 2016
Flying with AirNorth: no baggage fees, free food onboard, and Yukon hospitality!
As we landed at Whitehorse airport, you could see purple flowers all around the landing strips: lupines. A definite sign that we were in Northern Canada. Arriving on another flight, an hour later, my friend Jacquie Pearce saw this:
alone at the airport
a coyote wanders
between the planes
- Jacquie Pearce
The conference hotel was the Best Western Gold Rush Inn
Once we checked in the hotel, we went for a stroll in the city. We came upon a window display at Mac's Fireweed bookstore featuring haiku books, my Old Pond Comics books, and three of my origami-haiku artworks.
We reached the beautiful Yukon river.
Trolley Ride
Our destination was the Northern Front Gallery to see the Words exhibit.
Yukon Public Library: exhibit of crime haiku.
Midnight sun (almost)
Around 6 p.m., we started to notice the sun was not "going down" at all, but instead was slowly moving sideways. There was not much difference between 6 and 7 and 8 p.m. It seems the sun didn't want to set!
"Jetlag is when you look at your watch and it means nothing."
10:15 p.m.
The sky never got completely dark. Instead of turning to black, the sky turned turquoize (dark blue).
It was a week-end of full moon. How lucky we were to be able to do moon-viewing while at a haiku conference!

Saturday May 21 2016
Haiku Week
The Haiku conference made it in the Yukon newspapers!
This week was proclaimed Haiku Week and KJ Munro's haiku was read in the Legislature where it will be archived.
The Haiku Week Proclamation was published in the newspaper.
Angela Naccarato gave a tak about intuitive haiku and invited us to close our eyes for a short meditation exercise.
Carole MacRury talked about her photography and introduced us to various Japanese terms and ways to see beauty in everyday objects. Even mould growing on a tea bag can look beautiful if you look up close.
Deborah Kolodji talked about deja-ku and gave us tips on how to write an original haiku about a subject that has been tackled hundred of times, like birds on wires or kigos like divorce papers.
Tables were decorated with jumping origami frogs
Ginko walk to the S.S. Klondike, a historic steamwheeler
We were supposed to write haiku during the walk, but we were too tired.
Someone mentioned the clouds brushed by the wind were mare's tail. "The mare's tail is followed by the black stallion." It means that kind of clouds is followed by rain clouds.

The views from the SS Klondike park were amazing.
Banquet at Amy's Tea House. Marshal Hryciuk gave a talk about his first trip to Whitehorse. We celebrated Charles Trumbull birthday.
Sunday May 22 2016
Terry Ann Carter was wearing a beautiful kimono for her presentation. Someone asks if the kimonos at the entrance were hers. She said gracefully: "No. A girl can only carry so many kimonos."
It's not everyday you get to open and close a conference! After the keynote speech on Friday, was now presenting cartoons I drew during the conference. My cartoonist-in-residence presentation took place on Sunday, a little after noon. My work as a cartoonist-in-residence was to sum up our collective experience at the conference and to give it back to the attendees in the form of a Powerpoint presentation (closing session), digital scrapbook (posted here), and photo albums to share on social media.
I will post the slides here shortly.
Prior to the conference, Kathy Munroe, the organizer, told me it sidewalks were so slippery in Whitehorse in the winter, that they were wearing ice climbing boots. I wondered what my frogs would use if they were in a similar situation... perhaps hedgehogs?
My frogs would probably need someone to guide them in Whitehorse, so I invented a new character: Polar frog, except you can't hear what he says through his scarf.
Betty Drevniok award and Ginko Winners
Ruth Powell from Prince George, a newcomer to haiku, won 1st place in the Betty Drevniok Award.
Ginko winners
Vicki McCullough judged the ginko contest. The winners were: Lynne Jambor, Charles Trumbull, Deborah P Kolodji, Maxianne Berger.

Reading of the night renku by Marshal Hryciuk and Karen Soehne. The title was Whitehorse Trolley and several links had elements related to the Yukon, current events, or things that happened at the conference, such as:
Haiku proclamation
in the sports section
-- renku participant
Also, Philomene Kocher (who couldn't make it to the conference) mailed some frog-shaped ginger cookies and they became the subject of a renku link.
Next year's conference
Terry Ann Carter announced the next 2017 conference will take place in Mississauga, Ontario (close to Toronto).
The end
At the end of the conference, everybody was packing up their books. I wrote "Haiku" on the Buddha board and watched word slowly disappeared.
Walk and BBQ at Kathy Munroe's house
We carpooled to Kj Munroe's house. Her daughter was driving us. We questioned her about wildlife. "You don't have to go too far on the highway to see wildflife," she said. She saw some lynx. "It's a big year for lynx"
The walk give us a chance to experience a bit of Yukon's wilderness.
The trees were skinny and the grounds was covered in purples flowers called lupines. Our destination was Ice Lake. In the water, what we thought were small fish, were actually hundreds of fresh lake shrimps.
Monday May 23 2016
The post-conference activity was an introduction to papermaking workshop with Helen O'Connor at her Pipestove Studio on 606 Black street.
The first technique we used is handbeating. We beat the boiled gambi with mallets until the fiber detached
The second technique was to use a blender.
The class worked hard to produce at least 6 sheets for tomorrow's class.Helen was a great teacher
We let the paper to dry until tomorrow.
The next day, when the paper was dry, in the second class Helen was going to teach us how to do origami and calligraphy on our handmade paper. Unfortunately, I was not able to attend, but she showed us a sample:
More photos of the Papermaking class available on this Facebook album
The same afternoon, I flew home with AirNorth.
The Haiku Canada Weekend 2015 took from May 15-17, 2015 in the beautiful city of Victoria, British Columbia. The theme of the conference was: Coast and Islands
Friday May 15 2015
The ferry ride (90 minutes) from Vancouver to Victoria was pleasant. We even saw three seals playing in the waves as the ferry passed near the shore.
The hotel was located in James Bay area, a quiet neighborhood near downtown Victoria.
Participants were staying in various hotels in James Bay such as the James Bay Inn. The room had a Victorian charm.
One hour after arriving to Victoria, Jacquie Pearce and I were having afternoon tea at James Bay Tea Room.
Then, it was time to register.
The conference was taking place at the New Horizons Activity Centre.
The conference package was absolutely gorgeous. It included a notebook (created by Terry Ann Carter) that also acted as a nametag.
Jacquie Pearce (who wrote a children's book titled Discover Emily) gave an amazing presentation about the life of Emily Carr, a famous Canadian painter from Victoria who painted beautiful landscape from the West Coast and wrote books like Klee Wyck, The House of All Sorts.
Johnny Baranski read haiku accompanied on the jazz piano by Marco Fraticelli. An amazing performance!

10:30-11:30 Naomi Beth Wakan from Gabriola island talked about her life in Poetry that Heals: a journey from one island to another and linked it to writing exercises, getting us writing a spontaneous haiku starting with the line "Poets together".
2-2:30pm Miriam Sagan (from the blog Miriam`s well) talked about her special relationship with neighbor and haiku poet Elizabeth Searle Lamb.
2:30-3:00 Shirley Johnson showed us two types of calligraphy - fun and Art Deco (which is used to promote Emily Carr House) - and we practice to calligraph our own haiku. It was so much fun. We even received a nice bookmark so we could calligraph our haiku on it.
Ginko walk
The ginko walk took place at Emily Carr house.
The Emily Carr house (now a museum) was opened just for our haiku group from 4-5pm.
In the back of the house, I was thrilled to find "the elephant", the trailer Emily Carr used on her trip to the rainforest. The trailer was grey and when you open the side panel, it looked like a trunk.
The evening was closed with a banquet at Heron's Nest.

Sunday May 17 2015
9:00 Kj Munro introduced us to Whitehorse, Yukon (that`s where the 2016 conference will take place)
9:30am I did a presentation about haiku and new technology titled Thousand Islands: Publishing Haiku using new technology, from Twitter Haiku to iPad Haiga. I offered an overview of the most innovative haiku projects available on new platforms, such as blogs, Twitter haiku, iPad haiga, podcasts, video poems.
10:00 Claudia Radmore Coutu introduced us to literary haibun. Did you know you can write a haibun (prose followed by ahaiku) based on literary work such as Lewis Carroll or native folks tales?
On our way to the bus depot, we stopped to see the statue of Emily Carr near the Empress Hotel rose garden.
Then, it was time to take the ferry back to Vancouver.

The Haiku Canada Weekend 2014 took place at Carleton University, Ottawa, from May 16-18, 2014. Participants were staying in the Frontenac residence and the activities took place at the Leeds building.
Haiku Canada 2014 Members' Anthology
Launch of Slipping between Seasons: Haiku Canada 2014 Members' Anthology for which I designed the cover and created illustrations. Poets read their poems from the anthology.
Raw Nervz' 10th anniversary reading by Dorothy Howard.
Renku party
From 9:30pm-1:00am, 15 haiku poets met in the Frontenace Lounge to write a 36-link renku titled Yellow in the leaves. Hans Jongman, upon leaving, dropped pieces of paper with haiku. "You're leaking links!" said Karen Soehne.
After the sixth verse, sake bottles were opened. Poets could sample artisan sake made with different flavours (rose petals, etc.).
Snacks of tortilla chips, almonds, and caramel popcorn were passed around.

Two of my favorite verses of the renku were written by Vicki McCullough:
Fantasy verse (2 lines):
a wormhole to Vega
the only escape
- Vicki McCullough
Requited love (2 lines):
rocking pony
-Vicki McCullough
As we approached the end, someone said: "After this, it's the 36th verse, the final verse." "The Hallelujah verse!" said Terry Ann Carter.
We ended with an astronomical verse (2 lines):
the satellite
blinks its way home
-Vicki McCullough
The Year of the Horse
Stanford Forrester told us he was hospitalized in January and almost died. He wrote this haiku:
taking me
for a ride
The Year of the Horse
- Stanford Forrester
At the reading, he proclaimed that it should actually have been "The Year of the Snail".
They actually are pretty quiet
the wild flowers.
- Stanford Forrester
Canadian Tulip Festival
After breakfast, I took a long walk to Lake Dowe, the main site of the Canadian Tulip Festival. The tulips were gorgeous. There were so many varieties!
I saw the BeaverTails kiosk, but didn't have time to order a delicious pastry with chocolate.
War Haiku
Presentation by Guy Simser on War Haiku. He mentioned that a Japanese general, reporting from the battlefield, ended his report with 2 tankas and 1 haiku.
Gingko walk.
Claude Rodrigue lead a group of French poets (Micheline Beaudry, Jannick Belleau and Diane Descoteaux and I) to see the Locks on the Rideau Canal behind the university. We saw beautiful historical buildings, a boat, the experimental farm, crabapples, groundhogs.
Rideau Canal
At five o'clock, the employees closed the locks for the day, saying "It's time for Mac & Cheese"
The food, served buffet style, was delicious. Marco Fraticelli (playing Henry) and Terry Ann Carter (playing Celesta Taylor) delighted us with a wonderful performance of Drifting (a book by Marco based the diaries of Celesta Taylor).
A group of haijins (Kathy Munroe, Sheila Bello, Jannick Belleau, Micheline Beaudry, Diane Descoteaux, Claude Rodrigue, and I) went to see the fireworks at Lake Dows. We were right in front of the launching point. The fireworks were spectacular!
Renku party
10:00-1:00 When Kathy Munroe and I arrived at the renku party, the group was tackling the fourth verse. It took a while for us to catch up, but we still managed to get some links in.
Marshall passed around some treat: "Here comes the jelly beans!" Kathy Munroe wrote:
wild woman
of the north
likes your jelly beans.
- Kathy Munroe (Yukon)
After midnight, when haiku links stopped coming, someone (LeRoy or Marshall) commented: "Linkless in Ottawa."
We still managed to finish a 36-link renku that night.
Additional note on the renku (on how poems are selected):
The leader of the renku was Mashall Hryciuk. When we passed our poems to him, he either commented briefly or made a noise.
"Too leafy!" he said of a haiku before putting it on the rejected pile.
Reading and re-reading a poem, he said, "Mmmm. I'm getting used to it." before putting it aside, possibly to be used later.
Sometimes a poem made him think and he would go "Mmmm" then look at you. When you got a "Mmmm" and a look, it was a good sign! Sometimes your poem was accepted as a link in the renku.
But most of the time, it's better luck next time: "Too wet! We already have et leaves." (You can't repeat images or words if they have already been used in the poems before)
Towards the end of an evening, some verses get pretty crazy. "It sounds like sake talk!"

Hog's falls
After breakfast, I walked to see Hog's Fall, but only managed to see the rapids.
Rideau Canal
I walked back to the Locks where I met Pamela and Ellen Cooper. We walked around the Rideau Canal.
We took pictures of a beautiful crab apple tree on the university campus.
Linked verse
Pamela wrote a link in reply to my haiku:
Philomene Kocher explained how she was inspired by Jeanne Painchaud's presentation Haiku InSitu at the HC in Montreal. She created an art exhibit, and wrote Sakura Tea haiku to promote haiku in a coffee shop. Her book was published at Catkins Press.
Diane Descoteaux read from her new book inspired by her trips to Japan and Romania. "I don't understand anything in English, but I speak it really well," she joked.
Micheline Beaudry reads from her bilingual bok La Nuit d'eau.
Hans Jongman tells funny stories inspired of his grandsons, such as "Grandpa, later, can we go to the park and scream?". His book That plane is bigger than a cloud is published by Catkins press.
After the conference, Diane Descoteaux and Micheline Beaudry drove me to the airport and we had lunch at the bar&gril overlooking the runway.
Gingko contest winner
I won the second prize of the gingko contest with a groundhog haiku. The prize was a beautiful color photograph by Grant Savage.

The Haiku Canada weekend 2012 took place at the York University Glendon College in Toronto, from May 18 to May 20, 2012. All the activities took place in the ballroom of Glendon Manor, a beautiful manor with cobblestone, garden at the front, and rose garden in the back.
Haiku poets were captivated by the sculpture of a frog riding a turtle in the garden, in front of the fountain.
Night Renku
One of my favourite activities at Haiku Canada is the night renku lead by Marshall Hryciuk. On the first night, with a dozen poets participating, we manage to complete 36 links between 9.00pm and 12.30pm.
The second night was more difficult, lots of people decided to go to bed early, leaving a small group of us (5-6) to find links to difficult verse such as "kokopelli`s flute".
As we struggled, there were roars of laughters from the next table where George Swede, Anita Krumins and other Living Legends of Haiku Canada, were doing an "anti-renku", a renku that doesn't have any rules and doesn't have to make sense. Our renku was finished at 1:30 am.
Leaving Toronto, one wheel of my luggage broke. I had to pull my luggage. The stuck wheel was leaving a long black mark on the concrete, in the train station, at the airport... you could follow my trail all the way home.
Strangely enough, it was the second set of luggage I lost in the rough streets of Toronto. A few years ago, my first luggage almost caught fire when the stuck wheel created friction that heated up the metal plaque under the bag:
The 2010 Haiku Canada week-end took place at McGill University in Montreal from May 21-23 2010. More than 80 people attended (a record number!), thanks to the presence of 3 haiku groups - haikuquebec, Groupe Haiku Montréal and Black Tea Group - and other members coming as far as Vancouver and Japan.
Check out the photos taken by Dave Russo.
Book launch: Angela Leuck "Dusting the Buddha" (Collection Hexagram) ; Barry George, "Wrecking Ball and other urban haiku" (I helped read the French translation of Barry's haiku).
Bilingual presentation of Micheline Beaudry & Mike Montreuil "L'américanité des poètes canadiens-français"
Jeanne Painchaud "Haiku InSitu"
Terry Ann Carter and Angela Leuck "Teen Haiku",
DeVar Dahl and LeRoy Gorman "Haiku in School"
Luce Pelletier and Huguette Ducharme read "Renku Ete Salsa"
I met Elsie Surena, a haijin from Haiti.
Favorite haiku moment: Claude Rodrigue, Jean Dorval and I were sitting on a bench on Mont-Royal, after the ginko, when a gust of wind made hundreds of maple keys fall on us.
Claude Rodrigue won 1st prize in the French kukai with the haiku he wrote during our walk:
Panneau d'autobus
"recyclez votre vieux bazou"
odeur d'essence
-- Claude Rodrigue (Baie-Comeau, QC)
The conference
The Haiku Canada 2009 conference took place from May 15-17 2009 at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, BC.
I did my first reviews of a haiku conference in comics. The comics were posted on my blog after the conference. The seven comics were so popular that I continued the tradition of reviewing conference sessions each time I attended a conference after that.
Highlights of the conference:
The beautiful location of Vancouver.
Renku party with Karen Soehne and Marshall Hryciuk
Presentation of the book Haiku for the 21st Century from the Modern Haiku Association by Winona Baker.

The Haiku Canada Week-end 2006 took place from May 19-21 at the University of British Columbia, in Vancouver.
The ID badge was a branch of cherry tree. There were about 40 participants (mostly Canadians) including 6 Americans, 3 Australians, 4 Japanese.
Ginko at Nitobe Garden
Alice Frampton won the first prize in the kukai with her beautiful haiku written during the ginko walk at the l Nitobe Japanese garden:
maillard pair
he rocks
on her wake
- Alice Frampton
During the walk in the garden, Michael Dylan Welch asked if I want to participate in a renga. I wrote a haiku and he added two lines:
floating leaf
a raindrop
pushes it in (JT)
at the video store
titanic out of stock (MDW)
Some highlights
Howard Lee Kilby tells us about a zen retreat in Paris.
Mariko Kitakubo performs a traditional japanese dance for us.
Heather Isaacson et Joyce Taylor, from Alberta, reads cowboy haiku. Following their presentation, Haiku Canada DeVar Dahl can't resist reciting his famous haiku:
my best moo
all the cows look up
in silence
-- DeVar Dahl
90 frogs
I ask Tenzing how he got the idea for his book 90 frogs. To celebrate his mother's 90th birthday, he wrote 90 haiku on origami frogs and placed them in a box, with the book, as a gift.
Ginko at Van Dusen Garden
We concluded the week-end with a ginko Van Dusen Botanical Garden where we were impressed by a row of trees called "Golden Tears".

Not to mention how it gets me excited and feeling a little on the wild side of things. I hate how winter months not only make me feel lazy but also play it safe with my outfits and styling cause it's too cold to take risks. It's much easier to just throw on a sweater and leggings and be done with it. I'm committing to getting back to pushing myself outside of the box with my styling ideas. Especially with all this fashion week inspiration from London and Milan getting me excited for next AW15.

Justin Bieber got in a full on brawl with some big dudes Wednesday night in Cleveland at Caveliers/Wariors NBA Finals game.
Actually he's probably thinking about the giant security guys he pays to have his back in situations just like this. Don't worry Beliebers. Justin is ok. He posted a photo to instgram later that night to let us know he is ok but he the insta post has since been deleted. Perhaps there are some legal troubles on the way for Biebs… mre legal troubles.

This is priceless. Check back for updates. I'll post them as they happen.
She my favorite, undersrtanding the tremendous commitment pitchers must make to excell at this level. Check me on this, but I think Jordan is a 2X All America with, I think, a shot to make it 3 X as well. Only time will tell, but Taylor sports a 1.36 era, with ONLY 32 BB a 27 3 record! Melloh, has more K , BUT, a 1.69 ERA, 131 BB and only a 30 15 record.
Montana, which can seal league bragging rights and hosting privileges for the Big Sky tourney with two road wins this week, shot over 40 percent (41.5) for the fifth straight game (22 for 53). Joining Baker in double figures scoring was Sullivan with 12 points. Baker and Sullivan shared the team lead in rebounds with seven apiece..
Grief is a part of life and we don't get to choose when we feel this emotion. So it's a natural reaction to feel sorrow for the loss of a "pure life," as ESPN's Eduardo Perez described. Aside from his talents on the baseball diamond, it is clear that Jose Fernandez's star shined brighter than stadium lights off the field as well..
Were talking about it and I was like, next week? When did that happen, Taylor said. Soon as we got into the Big Ten season, it was like everything was a steamroller through your life. Came to Michigan as one of its best pitching recruits ever.
One team would hang up their basketball jerseys until next season and the other would continue on to the area tournament keeping their State play off dreams alive. The Lady Diggers had a very determined look in their faces before the opening tip. Karlee Rutledge quickly opened the scoring up with a two followed by a Tabitha Lawrence basket at the other end.

Yes, this is a common side effect of taking Pepto Bismol. Nothing to worry about! I think it even states it on the bottle.

But take heart: As (almost) always, this morning's Oregon news limericks, as written by me, read by quizmaster TJ of Loaded Orygun, and answered (usually) by Carl, Christine,and Paul on the KPOJ 620AM Morning Show, are posted at LO.
And, as a treat, here's some Palin limericks--although, unlike this recent entry , today I refer to the Python, not the ex-governor. This is from a 1986 interview with Michael Palin, then promoting his book Limericks.
If nothing else, the interview is an opportunity to reflect on the wisdom of Shaw's observation that England and America are two countries separated by a common language. For example, I imagine there were English viewers who did not consider Kenneth Williams to be a shriekingly dreadful excuse for a talk-show host.

How many times have you been in a taxi that was speeding or one which braked suddenly at traffic lights? Even though this has happened to most of us at some point or another, being involved in an accident in a taxi probably hasn't ever crossed your mind. But did you know that if you're injured whilst travelling in a taxi you could be eligible to claim taxi accidents compensation? You could be surprised at the amount of compensation you're entitled to, even if you have suffered minor injuries in a taxi accident.
Accident Advice Helpline can offer you confidential advice that could help you decided whether or not to go ahead with a personal injury claim, provided you call us within three years of your accident happening.
Injured by a dangerous driver
If you feel your accident was caused by the taxi driver, claiming taxi accidents compensation could be on the cards. But what sort of injuries could be sustained in an accident in a taxi? Well, if the driver is speeding and collides with another vehicle, you could suffer whiplash, cuts and bruises, broken bones or a back injury – even a serious head injury, if it's a high-speed collision. Of course, there's always the case where another dangerous driver collides with your taxi, in which case the other driver could be held liable for your injuries and ordered to pay you compensation. Even accidents travelling at low speeds or whilst the vehicle is stationary could result in injuries like whiplash, which is painful and can mean taking time off work to recover.
Claiming taxi accidents compensation
The claims process for personal injury claims isn't a complex one – and if somebody else is liable for your accident, it's a good idea to consider making a claim with Accident Advice Helpline. We have been helping people claim for over 15 years, so if you have been injured by a negligent driver, we're here to make sure you're compensated for your pain, suffering and loss of earnings. To find out how much you could claim, you can take the 30-second test on our website right now, or pick up the phone and call us to get advice from our team of experts.
There's no obligation to proceed with a claim, but if you do decide to go ahead, you'll find our personal injury lawyers are helpful and friendly, working on a 100% no win, no fee basis. Call us today on 0800 689 0500 to find out if you could make a claim after your accident.

Pay Your Mortgage Off Faster
- On April 19, 2017
- 0 Comments
Your mortgage is likely one of the biggest monthly expenses your household has. Most people spend an average of 25 years paying off their mortgage, but prepayment privileges can help you pay it off much faster and save you money simultaneously.
Although it can differ between lenders, most offer prepayment privileges as high as 20/20. This means you can increase your regular payment amount by up to 20% and apply lump sum payments towards your mortgage of up to 20% of your original amount each year.
An example would be on a $450,000 mortgage amortized over 25 years at a fixed rate of 2.44% where the lender allows for a 20% increase to your regular payments:
If you were to make your regular payments of $2,002.43 a month with no monthly increase, your remaining amortization after 5 years would be 20 years.
If you were to make your regular payments with a 20% increase, taking your payments to $2,402.92 a month, your remaining amortization after 5 years would be 14 years and 8 months knocking off over 5 years of amortization!
When a lump sum is paid towards your mortgage, it is applied directly toward your principal mortgage. A lower principal payment automatically decreases the amount of interest you will pay each month and will also reduce your scheduled amortization period. Using the example above, you would have the option to put up to $90,000 a year in extra payments on your mortgage. If you were to take advantage of this option alone, you could pay your mortgage off in less than 5 years.
Additional Tips to Pay off Your Mortgage Faster:
- Selecting a non-monthly or accelerated payment schedule
- Increasing your payment frequency schedule
- Making principal prepayments
- Making Double-Up Payments
- Selecting a shorter amortization at renewal

Professional wrestling may not be considered a "real sport" with many, but it sure draws like one at the sportsbook.
Wagering on WWE events has become a popular prop bet among online sports bettors and wrestling fans, and it doesn't get any bigger than Wrestlemania 29, which takes over MetLife Stadium in New Jersey Sunday night.
"I not going to ham this up, but we have an unbelievable client base that loves WWE matchups," says Russ Candler of online sportsbook UWin.com. "This event will take two or three times as many bets as any NASCAR race."
This year's Wrestlemania is especially enticing to bettors, with fan favorites The Rock and John Cena doing battle in the main event. Books currently have The Rock, the WWE champion, set between a +500 and +600 underdog versus Cena, who is as big as -1,200.
Candler says The Rock – Dwayne Johnson as he's more commonly known now for his Hollywood movies – is discounted because of his uncertain future with the WWE. He recently starred in the latest G.I. Joe flick, has an upcoming movie with Mark Wahlberg, and is preparing to play Hercules on the big screen.
"The comeback party is over for The Rock. He had his day at the Royal Rumble beating C.M. Punk but he's taking on a true WWE Superstar here," says Candler. "This could be his cue to head off into the sunset again. I'm happy to lay any fancy prices on The Rock."
Another match drawing betting action is the comeback fight for Triple H versus former WWE champion and UFC fighter Brock Lesnar. Books currently have Triple H between -333 and -750 despite being out of action for awhile and losing his most recent run-in with Lesnar (between +225 and +450) at Summer Slam in August.
"If this matchup was against a true WWE Superstar, I'd happily take him on," says Candler. "But as it's against a fighter who is not only disliked but also another one who would happily bugger off and do something else at the drop of a hat, I've got to be with Triple H."
The longest odds on the Wrestlemania XXIX card go to C.M. Punk, who as big as a +750 underdog to snap The Undertaker's unblemished 20-0 record at Wrestlemania. "The Dead Man" is a -1,500 favorite to continue the streak, which began back at Wrestlemania XII in 1991. Candler says there is no shortage of motivation for The Undertaker, who recently lost former manager Paul Bearer, but the biggest dog of the night may pack the hardest bite.
"You've heard it here first. C.M. Punk defeats The Undertaker and destroys his 20-0 record," he predicts. "I know the Undertaker has an amazing record at Wrestlemania, I know he could win and dedicate it to Paul Bearer, I know the WWE doesn't want to tarnish a WWE Superstar. But he's up against one of the organization's latest legends. This could be Punk's rise back to the summit."
Here's a look at the full card of odds for Wrestlemania XXIX:
John Cena (-1000) vs. The Rock (+500)
Alberto Del Rio (-277) vs. Jack Swagger (+200)
The Undertaker (-1250) vs. CM Punk (+600)
Triple H (-333) vs. Brock Lesnar (+225)
The Shield (-357) vs. Sheamus, Randy Orton and Big Show (+250)
Ryback (-303) vs. Mark Henry (+225)
Fandango (-277) vs. Chris Jericho (+200)
Team Hell No (+175) vs. Dolph Ziggler and Big E Langton (-250)

Q&A: John Hopkins on women playing in the Open
The Times Golf Correspondent considers the implications of the rule changes that will potentially permit women golfers to attempt to qualify for the Open Championship from 2006
What are the suggested changes?
The most significant change - and it really is significant - is the decision to remove the "male only" clause from the Open entry form from 2006. This year's forms are already printed, but from next year any woman will be eligible to have a go at entering the Open Championship. This is a green light for women to join the long and difficult process of qualification, which includes pre-qualifying and then two rounds of final qualifying.
Who is behind the change?
So far, the decision to remove the clause is only on the…
