Creating Blogs :
Hi, you've heard of the blind leading the blind, well that's somewhat the situation here.
I've only been blogging for about two and a half months, so I'm by no means an expert, but in my opinion that's what qualifies me to write this article.
The reason being, I've managed to get my blogs on the net.
If you're familiar with Face book and Scrapbooking, that's great, you have an advantage over me!!!
There are literally millions of blogs on the net, possibly because they're far more simple to create over a web site, needless to say for the likes of me, and they're usually FREE, user friendly and it's not necessary to know or understand HTML Code.
If you're reading this then you are obviously looking at a web site that has published my article or visiting one of my blogs, either way you're looking at my original content.
Just to inform you as a side point, I am Dyslexic, not something I like to admit freely however I hope with this info, it will allow you to understand that maybe it's slightly more difficult for me than for some.
Your reasons for creating a blog may vary, maybe you have a story to tell, or information others may benefit from, maybe you just want to create your own personal space or create a forum for others to leave comments, or perhaps just use the experience as a learning curb, or maybe try to create an extra income source
There are many FREE blog providers but for now the one I use is Blogspot.com later if you want you are free to play around with Wordpress or others, that's up to you.
Time to start.
Most other websites would show you "how to" by using a video, in my opinion this can work great because you can see the illustrations and someone talking you through the process, this method can also be a disadvantage as well, for example most of us can't memorize all of the instructions given so unless you take notes or continually work between the video and the set up process by flicking backwards and forwards from the video page and the set up page your brain can become confused and frustrated, my way would be to print the instructions and then follow accordingly.
Ok, let's go.
Go to Google in your web browser the Google Home or search page. Sorry if I'm insulting your intelligence, but this guide is for the totally in-experienced!!!
Type in the search box, blogspot.com and hit the enter or return key, or use the mouse to click "Google Search" .
The page results will show within the top three Blogger: Create your free blog or you can click this link, it will bring you to the page.
On the Blogger page you will see "Create a Blog" in an orange box. Click using the mouse, this will bring you to the sign up page, there are 3 stages listed in the top bar;
Create an Account.
Name Blog
Choose Template
The page you are on is No 1 Create Account.
The first box on page 1 asks you for a valid e-mail address, (If you don't have one click this link Google Accounts and create an account .
Once you have created the e-mail account enter your e-mail address in first box on page 1 on the create blog page.
The next box down asks you to re-type your e-mail address.
Next comes your password, Choose a password you can remember easily and type in the boxes requesting it.
The next box asks you for a name you are going to use to sign your blogposts posts, this is the content you will add to your blog.
For example I used Heartcare for the purpose that my primary blog was based on Heartcare, however you can choose a Knick name or a user name, this will become the name under which your posts will appear. For Example my daughter uses Hiba, so all the posts or articles on her blogs appear as "posted by Hiba"
At this stage I don't want to make things complicated, for example if you decide to post your articles on other sites like Article base to help create traffic to your blog this will be the name used to create the back link to your blog...
In the case where I've posted replies or added comments to forums on other sites or blogs, they've been posted under Heartcare, this also helps create back links to your blog and once again helps to direct traffic to your site.
So give a little thought to the name you're going to use!!!
Next you will see a small box asking if you want to be informed about information announcements and advice regarding getting the most out of your blog, It's up to you whether you tick this box or not, If you tick you will be added to the newsletter and receive e-mails on the latest information, this is an automated service giving the option to un-subscribe if and when you like.
Next you will be asked for your date of birth, remember this is a secure encrypted site provided by Google and your details will be kept private and not passed on to third parties, Google hate spam as much as the rest of us.
You will then need to type the word verification in the box provided, this is to ensure that it's a real person using the sign up and not a robot being used to create thousands of blogs used for spamming or money making.
Accept the terms of service by clicking the small box and move on by clicking continue.
Page 2 Name Blog
The first question asks you to choose a blog title, I used Heartcare, It's always a good idea to go to http://www.doteasy.com/ there you can find out if your chosen blog name is available.
Just take a look on the doteasy page to your right and you will see a green box (Search), just above type in your chosen name and hit search, this will take you to the next page to see if your chosen name is available, I try to stick with the results of availability from .com, .net or .org, or even .co.uk it depends on your location. If your chosen name is available hit the back button on your browser, the left arrow on the top left of the website page until you get back to page 2 of the blog setup. If your chosen blog name isn't available try another until you find one that is.
Remember this is the name that the search engines will use to try and find your blog so try to think of something that you think people will search for.
Enter your chosen name into the first box on page 2 and then the second, in the first box you can put spaces between words; for example Heartcare 4 Life but in the second you must leave out the spaces.
Click on availability, normally the words "This Blog address is available" will appear!
Hit Continue, this will now take you to page 3.
Page 3 Choose a Template.
Choosing a template is how your blog will appear. However if you're not happy with the look of your blog you have the option to change your template later. Before you save your template you have the choice to preview, if you're not happy highlight another and preview it.
When you're happy with your choice, Click on save template (the orange box top right of your template page)
Your blog is now created. You can now scroll back to the top of the page and click view blog.
At this stage I recommend you add it to favorites in your bookmarks option.
This will allow you to manage your Blog by selecting it straight from your Favorites menu (DON'T forget to add to favorites, it's very likely at this stage Google will not find your new blog in a search at this stage).
It's very important also you make a note of your e-mail address your password and user name unless it's something you can remember easily, the next time you open your blog you will need to use these details to enter your blog by signing in.
Please accept my apologies if you have found these instructions an insult to your intelligence, however for those who have little or no experience of computers I've tried to take you through the process in simple easy steps, you'd be surprised how many people out there are not computer literate or even have disabilities like me.
However even I know DNA doesn't stand for National Dyslexic Association!!!
Yer, it's great when you can make fun of others, but I go one step further, I make fun of ME,
Here's another, The Dyslexic, Agnostic Insomniac knelt by the bed at 3 in the morning "Is there such thing as Dog"??? he asked.
Now you've created your blog in the next article I'll try to show you how to add content.

The number of oversize or overweight (OSOW) permits in Wisconsin is rising, but the test vehicles used to analyze the state's bridges assume a regular distribution of weight along a regular number of axles. The weight distribution of trucks, as well as the actual force exerted by each axle, has a significant effect on fatigue experienced by infrastructure, such as bridges. Even if an OSOW vehicle is below the permit vehicle's weight, it may have a more damaging effect on the bridges it crosses due to its configuration.
To determine the validity of this risk, the Statistical Analysis of Heavy Truck Loads Using Wisconsin Weigh-In-Motion Data (CFIRE 01-02) project acquired data on a wide range of Wisconsin trucks and used Monte-Carlo simulations (which run many trials with random variables) to determine their possible effects over bridges of various sizes. This project was coordinated by CFIRE affiliate researcher Habib Tabatabai.
Data for this project was sourced from the 17 weigh-in stations located around Wisconsin. Only the heaviest five percent of the measured trucks were used, in order to maintain an accurate measurement of the trucks with the most significant effects on the state's bridges.
The heaviest five percent of the data for each class of truck were simulated moving over bridges with spans ranging from 20 feet to 250 feet, and the maximum shear and moment forces were recorded. In addition, the moment and shear force limits set by the permit vehicle (which weighs 250,000 lbs) was recorded, and found to only account for 99.8 percent of the trucks in the simulation. This suggests that a portion of real-world trucks exceed the permit vehicle in applied forces, even if they weigh less.
This project showed that current practices for determining maximum permitted weight do not entirely limit the effect a truck has on the bridges it crosses. Expanding this work to include all trucks, instead of just the heaviest five percent of each class, would create a profile of the marginal fatigue that each truck exerts. These fatigue studies would be valuable in measuring the performance of different roadway and bridge materials, as well as making maintenance decisions for heavily-traveled corridors.

Get Real By Betty Hicks
Dez likes grand pianos and elegant food, while her family are infamous slobs. She's so different from her family that sometimes she thinks she could be adopted. Obviously Dez is very different from her family. When her best friend Jil seeks out to find her birth mother, (she's adopted), Dez's world goes upside down. This book is about friendship as much as it is about wanting a parent who is different than your own.
I picked this book because it is funny and inspiring. It's inspiring because Dez goes after what she wants, and she's really hard working. When she wanted a piano, she did everything to get it. The ending is very satisfying, and I related to all the characters. Other books by the author are I Smell Like Ham, Busted! and Out Of Order.

Death by camel
THE American owner of a wildlife park in the Mexican resort of Tulum has died after being kicked, bitten and sat on by a camel.
Rescuers had to use a rope tied to a pick-up truck to pull the enraged camel off the body.
According to the report, "The camel kicked and bit him practically to death, and when he was almost dead, he sat on him".
"Between the blows and the weight of the camel on top of him, he was asphyxiated."
It was unclear why the animal attacked the man, but some versions suggest the camel was upset at not getting a soft drink. One theory is that the owner would always give the camel a Coca-Cola to drink, and apparently, that day he did not give one to the camel.
This may be a bit extreme but it could be something to keep in mind next time you deny someone something to which they are addicted to.

You're our only hope…Posted: February 13, 2008 Filed under: Politics 5 Comments
Alright, since no one else seems to be on the ball, I guess the burden falls to me. Thank you everyone in Maryland, Virginia, and Washington D.C. for supporting Obama in the Democratic Primary. You've given me the hope for my state that Barack has given me for my country. On the fairly unlikely chance that we have readers in Ohio or Texas that are both undecided and liberal, I'd encourage you to push Obama to the finish as Democratic candidate for the next President of the United States.
Perhaps it's beyond my jurisdiction, since Smith Michaels runs this site with an iron fist (read Immortal Iron Fist!), but as Co-Editor in Chief, which I think I still am, I would like to issue a semi-Official Endorsement of Barack Obama from Blurred Productions. Out of the remaining viable candidates in the running Barack is not simply a man able to make an excellent speech, or charm the occasional voter.
I'd continue on as to why, but I have little time, and I'm sure most of what I would say is either a continuation of the same liberal screed that everyone has made for the last 7 years, or a repeat of what you could hear from any number of blogs in a much more nuanced style. Suffice to say I think Obama is the only candidate that would truly help our country.
5 Comments on "You're our only hope…"
Right on.
Doing what I can as a liberal Obama supporter here in Texas. I'll be out at the primaries early and the caucus (yep, we've got both, Texas is freakin' weird) in March.
I would just once like my vote to count for something rather than being pissing into the wind against the inevitable Republican vote that is Texas' contribution to politics.
[…] Anyway, I was going to log on today and do a whole SWEET OBAMA WON VA, MD, AND DC post but then I noticed that the old son of a bitch Psycholarry had already beat me to it! […]

I would be afraid of going to those football games because of my race. It is vacuous to hurt someone whether it is the language they speak, the team they like, or their race. Hurting someone can be physically or mentally. Mentally hurting someone means making offensive noises, showing offensive symbols, and using offensive words. Hurting someone physically means using any form of violence on anyone.
There nice and mean people in all countries.

There aren't many attractive women (inside and outside) in America. A man wants a physically attractive woman with attractive personality traits. American women usually don't have that combination.
Ever since I found Winston's website and read the information on there, my life has been much easier and I've been a MUCH more happier person!

Ain't it the truth? Check out YouTube, and:
--Mexicans in "La Raza" are planning to kill whitey.
--Narcos are cutting heads off in Tijuana.
-- Ukrainians are going to kill Blacks.
yada yada yada
The truth? Most places are full of people who are pretty decent most of the time. If they have some anger (like, say, a Ukrainian whose grandparents were raped and tortured by Communists) then maybe we have to use a little salesmanship to break the ice and get past the suspicion.
Hats off to the guys who ignore fearmongers and travel anyway.

OK Puppet, that's better . If Lendale White goes down someone else could fill his shoes. Now if Chris Johnson gets hurt, bye bye offense. He was shredding the Ravens in the playoff game last year until he got hurt. It was all downhill from there. Defense is the question mark, yes.
i remember reading about the steelers? and now you guys are talking about luck... ok ben crack my skull open rothlesburger had the luckies season of his career last year. The only real player on that team is polmano or however you say it. Mark my words the steelers will be lucky to win 6 games this year.

Hi Girlz,
Hope you all had a great thanksgiving weekend.Today i have got a very interesting brush dupe for you all.From a long time i have been wanting to try the " ITCosmetics Live beauty fully all over powder brush" ,available at Ulta for $40 ,because i like the fact that its huge and covers a larger area at one time and its soft too.But considering the price i was not convinced to spend so much on just one brush as you all know that i am all about affordable brushes.So i found a great dupe for it from ebay .You can click here to see the ebay listing.
ITCosmetics Brush Pic
Pictures of the Brush from Ebay
I would say that this brush is a hair to hair dupe for the It cosmetics brush.Even though i do not own the ITCosmetics brush, i have touched that brush several times at Ulta and the bristles of this ebay one are just as soft.
The ebay brush works great in applying powder foundation and i have been using this brush for over a month now.This brush comes with the similar king of plastic brush protector as the ITcosmetics one and has the same print on the brush "Live Beauty Fully" but it does not have the logo of ITCosmetics (obviously ).The make of the brush is very sturdy and i have washed it several times and it has not shed .
Price for the ebay brush-$2.99 + $3.99(shipping)
which is way way less than the ITCosmetics one ($40)
Rating -9/10 ( i would love to give it 10/10 but i am deducting a point only due to the fact that it takes 3 weeks to reach ,which is the case for all ebay purchases.)
All in all i would totally recommend this brush to you all.Its totally worth it.
That's it for this one,till my next,enjoy the holiday season.

My review of Martin Scorsese's Hugo is now available over at Parcbench. An excerpt:
"Though Martin Scorsese's Hugo has been marketed as a "family film," I can assure you that only the young ones who have taken a shine to cinema will really get something out of it. Yet some critics seem to be reviewing Hugo based on what it's marketed as, versus what it actually is. What Hugo isn't, is a homogenized romp that is "fun for the whole family," as the marketing would have you believe. What it actually is, is a family-friendly celebration of the human touch that made the silent-era of cinema so special, and indeed makes a great deal of art so charming. Aesthetically, Hugo is a very modern film, making liberal use of CGI and 3D effects, yet it uses today's technology to create a magical lens through with it looks back fondly on a time when a special effect was created by the simple act splicing two frames together with glue."

Hello All,
I am new to pool ownership and learning a lot fast! A little history first. I purchased this new home in the winter and the pool was covered. Because of work travel and moving I wasn't able to open the pool until late May. It was BLACK about 3in of oak leaves, and lots of tadpoles. Much skimming, sweeping, and use of a leaf eater I got it to dark brown and maybe 80% of the debris out. I filled the pool with well water, (lucky my well has no iron) Being a noob I went to the pool store and had water tested. The advice was to shock the #$*& out of it with Dichlor and use an algicide then flock, vacuum to waste. Honestly it worked in clearing things up (see avatar photo) but CYA was now 120. I replaced about 30% of the water and got the CYA down to 80 FC at 5 using pool store. Turned SWG on and enjoyed the pool for a day before I had to leave town.
I bought a taylor 2006 kit before returning to the house. after 3 weeks. The pool was a brown mess... Skimmer was full of leaves. Tested the water and
Using pool math I added Muriatic acid to get PH to 7.2 then Baking Soda to get TA to 110
Started to SLAM Brought FC up to 24 and for two nights FC loss has been 6.2 & 5.8. Pool is very cloudy slightly green/yellow. It looks like I have Tannin staining too on steps and as a ring around the upper 8" or so (bleach will lighten the stains).
Filter has been cleaned once and pressure is rising again will clean it this afternoon.
I am being impatient... as I am here for only a week then will be away again for three-four weeks. The wife and kids would like to use the pool but it's not practical yet.
As I am leaving for a few weeks should I increase the SWG output? It was set on 2 last time but I still had an algae bloom. I don't expect it to be perfect when I return, but would like to have it in a condition I can clear up in a day or two. I have no problem getting up early, brushing, etc to make it happen....
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
Current test levels
PH NOT TESTED CL too high
CYA 60 (due to vacuuming to waste)
SALT 3800 (ditto)
Thanks to all in advance!

A South African landscape. A scene from the Northern Cape Province.
I had a bit of a laugh this morning. On Sky News they were talking about going up in a balloon.The Anchor was asked if she'd ever flown in one. "Never!" she retorted, "You won't catch me flying around in the sky in a picnic basket." 🙂

(2) Where a bow visor or a weathertight ramp cannot be opened or closed while the ship is secured at its berth, it may so far as necessary and subject to paragraph (3) be opened or kept open while the ship approaches or draws away from its berth, as the case may be.
(3) In no case shall a loading door be open when the ship is more than one ship's length from the cargo loading or discharging position of its berth.
(4) Paragraph (1) shall not apply to small doors intended to be used for pilot access, fuelling or other matters necessary for the operation of the ship and not intended to be used by passengers or for loading cargo.

(a)verify that every loading door has been closed and locked; and
(b)report the fact that they have been closed and locked to the master or other officer in charge of the bridge.

(3) Any weathertight door which may be opened in accordance with the exception to paragraph (2) shall be kept clear of obstructions which might prevent its rapid closure.
25. Notwithstanding the provisions of regulations 22(1) and 24(1), gangway and cargo loading doors may be opened in an emergency but only when the master considers such opening will not put the safety of the ship at risk.
26. Entries shall be made in a book retained on board for recording the following—
(1) the times of the last closing, in accordance with regulations 22(1) and 24(1), of the weathertight doors referred to in those regulations and of the next opening of such doors; and

Movielog.think-challenge- Question
"Movielog. Think-challenge-question" a monthly film screening and debate aimed at young women was inaugurated by Javed Jabbar, Producer andwriter with the movie "Ramchand Pakistani" on 5th March, 2012 at the office of Friedrich-ebert-stiftung (FES) Pakistan. The monthlymovie series was organized by FES in cooperation with Centre for Excellence in Gender Studies at Quaid-iAzam University and the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD). Almost 30 young women were there to watch Ramchand Pakistani. The young women were active in the after film discussion with the Producer and Writer of the film Javed Jabbar. Javed Jabbar shared his experience of making the film. "I know the real characters of the film personally and they were with us throughout the production part. We wanted them to be there while documenting their lives." Country Representative of Fes-pakistan, Anjaminnaert said, "The movie screening will be held monthly at the FES office featuring a variety of national and internationalmovies and documentaries drawing on stories and experiences from Asia, the Americas and Europe." The films serve as a medium to open up dialogue and reflection of issues of life choices, work-life balance and pertinent sociopolitical issues and challenges for women. Restricted through traditional and societal norms women seldom find opportunities to gather outside their homes and openly debate over issues of their concern starting from marital and family matters to politics. Noting the scarce availability of spaces for young women to engage in a critical discourse, the aim of the "Movielog" is to create a conducive environment for students, professionals and house wife's to discuss gender related issues and politics beyond the complex dynamics of their everyday life, family and work spaces. This will allow young women with different life experiences to gather regularly, allowing networking and interaction.

As I type this, I am loading over 500 pictures from my camera onto the computer. I will do a photo update tonight hopefully!
Lots happening with us these days. We had a busy summer where the boys got to stay with Gramma and Grampa G while Mommy and Daddy had to work in Ottawa and Quebec City. We then came home, only to turn around a week later and head to Revelstoke for a gig. Now we are done travelling for the time being and looking forward to spending time at home.
Mommy and Keiran went to Winnipeg for a few days at Thanksgiving to visit friends and meet Baby Kira. Daddy and Evan went to Grandma and Grandpa D's house at the same time. It was a nice visit for everyone but I think we are all looking forward to not travelling again for a little while!
Looks like the pictures are loaded. Off to get them on here!

Start your journey into the world of premium Gin with this starter set! The two bottles of Six Ravens London Dry Gin will show you how uniquely different a Gin can taste. Juniper and other traditional Gin botanicals like coriander and lemonpeel build the fundament of this Gin, its unique aroma is achieved by fresh ginger roots. Their fruity, slighty spicy aroma harmonizes well with the herbal tones of juniper. Together with the citrusy Gents Tonic Water you will get a Gin & Tonic that will surprise you by its complexity of taste. No bitterness at all, instead a melody of delightful aroma. Together with the two premium Gin glasses made out of crystal glass you have everything on hand for the perfect serve. The only thing you have to organize is ice and a fresh lemon. Because a lemon zest brings the Six Ravens Gin & Tonic to perfection. Cheers!
How to mix the perfect Gin & Tonic:
Some people wonder, why their homemade Gin & Tonics do not taste as good as in a bar. So what's the secret..? Besides the bar atmosphere one influencing factor is the amount of ice cubes that are used to prepare the rink. At home we tend to use less ice cubes, because we think they will dilute the drink. But the opposite is true: The more ice you have in your glass, the cooler is your drink and therefore the slower is the melt of the cubes. So next time you mix your Gin & Tonic add as much ice as they do in a bar and you will see, your drinks taste better!
The Premium Gin Starter Set includes:
> 2x 40ml Six Ravens London Dry Gin
> 2x Gents Swiss Roots Tonic Water
> 2x Noblesse Gin Tonic Glasses

WATERLOO, Ontario - Descartes Systems Group (Nasdaq:DSGX) (TSX:DSG), the global leader in uniting logistics-intensive businesses in commerce, announced that Ferrellgas Partners, L.P. (NYSE:FGP), a premier provider of propane throughout the U.S., is expanding the Descartes Route Planner™ solution to its Blue Rhino division to fuel enhanced levels of customer service across its nationwide network for propane tank exchange. Ferrellgas has used the Descartes solution since 2001 to centralize routing for the delivery of propane to residential, agricultural, industrial, and commercial customers nationwide.
"Better distribution performance can pay significant customer service dividends," said Josh Powell, Director, IT Applications at Ferrellgas. "The intuitive Descartes user-interface makes it easy to train employees. It also allows us to centralize distribution on a single, proven technology platform."
Using the web-based Descartes Route Planner solution, Ferrellgas generates optimized vehicle routing plans tailored to its delivery network and business requirements. As new orders are received and real-time route updates are presented, dispatchers can adjust routes manually, ask the system for suggestions, or let the system optimize changes to meet confirmed time windows, maintain overall customer service objectives, and optimize distribution efficiencies. More effective route scheduling also helps companies reduce operating costs by increasing route density, lowering total route distances, and decreasing the average miles between stops.
"We're pleased that the scalability and advanced capabilities of our routing solution are helping Ferrellgas to meet its objectives for reliable nationwide propane delivery, refill and tank exchange," said Andrew Roszko, Senior Vice President of Sales at Descartes Systems Group. "Using technology to centralize route planning and to standardize delivery can help remove roadblocks to greater distribution efficiency and quality customer service, especially for companies with multiple locations."

I intended to write this post 2-3 weeks ago when I noticed migration getting rolling, and I even wrote most of a post on the 'blogger app' on my phone, but it appears to have grown wings and flown away(bird pun, lame!). There's a lesson learned once again about trusting phone apps to work.
Anyway, I'm sure everyone is well aware that migration is under way! There are Red-winged Blackbirds and Common Grackles (I hadn't seen a single grackle all winter until about 4 weeks ago) singing on nearly every tree or fence post in the Pelee area! Okay, maybe that's a bit exaggerated, but there are surely thousands of blackbirds in the area. I've seen a good handful of Rusty Blackbirds among mixed flocks too, which look and sound really neat. They're sort-of one of the ugliest bird species in my opinion but their ugliness has a certain simple artistic beauty (sorry to get so deep there haha). I read recently that Rusty Blackbirds have faced a population decline of about 85-99% in the last 40 years :0. That explains why I have such a hard time seeing many! I blame the starlings (or the people who brought starlings here); even if this isn't their fault, lots of other things are. Hopefully the RUBL do alright in the future. I have also seen quite a few American Robins in the area, which were extremely scarce through the winter months.
My friend Chris who I mentioned in my last post, was asking me 2 weeks ago about differences between Semi-palmated Plovers and Killdeer (the main difference is neck/chest bands: SPPL has 1 and KILL has 2) and the very next day he told me he saw one of these species! I hadn't seen more than a small handful of Killdeer all winter so I headed to that area to see what was cooking: I found 5 Killdeer in one field, and have been seeing them scattered around the Leamington/Essex County area since. Awesome, more migration!
Many new ducks have shown up at Hillman Marsh (and are currently present) in the last 2 weeks, including Northern Pintails, Gadwall, American Wigeons, Green-winged Teal, American Black Ducks, Northern Shovelers, Bufflehead, and Ring-necked Ducks. I love ducks! Also on the marsh there were 2 Sandhill Cranes last Monday, March 4 . My girlfriend Nadia and I saw one fly away and heard another making that awesome dinosaur sound they make. I'll have to try to post a nice audio/video clip of one croaking if I find a good chance to film it.
The last bird I'll include in my migration report is one of my favourites, and I'm not even too sure if this counts as migration, but I have been keeping an eye out for these and have not seen one in 2 months: Brown Creeper! I was most delighted to see one on a tree near the bird feeders at Ojibway Park in Windsor just over a week ago. I just think they're so cool, the way they disguise so well and shift side to side on trees while acting like woodpeckers. Because of their stealthy ways, there were many times in the fall I would hear their calls surround me out of no where, then move to a different area as quickly as they came, without even seeing the birds. Also, their spring mating songs sound awesome (which I look forward to hearing for my first time soon). I like to think it sounds sort-of like "I am the brown creeper!"
I will probably get back to this post to add photos and videos sometime soon. Hopefully my next report on migration isn't so delayed. Hope you enjoyed!

INDN 212: Vertical Garden Design Presentation Slides
These were the final presentation slides for our group project Urb-Garden, a project based around bringing herb gardening into the home in a sculptural, aesthetic way. The primary focus of the project was centred on making something that would alleviate back pain in avid urban gardeners. The design was developed extensively over a 3-week period, whereupon we began the production phase, which lasted 3 weeks. The final design is something we're really proud of, as it fulfils the function we set out to devise, as well as being a very aesthetic piece that speaks of simplicity, but upon closer inspection, reveals a far more extensive development in production and assembly techniques.

"Dear Pioneer Woman,
Shrimp is expensive. Just thought you'd want to know.
PS Your photos are beautiful but maybe three of them showing us the pepper is two too many."
Gilmore Girl has a recipe for shrimp that IS yummy and maybe even three fun's and I will put it in my recipe book as soon as I tear PW's recipe in tiny bits.
Yes, a great day, once all the pain and fear were over and I held that beautiful baby in my arms. She has been a joy ever since.
Well, ALMOST ever since. Teenagers, being what they are, but we're not going to think about that today, are we. (Twitch, twitch.) But then again, maybe we will, for just a minute, as The Mighty Hunter found that Gilmore Girl had scratched her name into the Clerk--when she was a teenager.
The Clerk is my favorite piece of furniture and, until tonight, I thought it had escaped the markings of children with a sharp instruments. Practically everyone in the family has scratched their name in the piano. Do you KNOW how much it costs to refinish a piano? Don't even ask.
"So," she said, after the name was revealed for one and all, "I guess that means I get the Clerk after you die. After all, my name is on it."
Over my dead body. Oh, wait. It will be over my dead body.
Happy Birthday! I love you anyway. And always will. And so does Dad.
PS Here's a photo of how I decorate the clerk--that you aren't getting--over my dead body--for spring.

A Conversation With Frank Portman About Following Up 'King Dork'
Bryne Yancey
Posted on November 6, 2014
November 6, 2014
by Nick Spacek
To a generation of pop-punk fans, Frank Portman is better known as Dr. Frank, frontman for the inimitable Lookout Records act The Mr. T Experience. However, in recent years, Portman has gained greater acclaim as the writer of rather excellent young adult novels. His first book, King Dork, about a high school sophomore named Tom Henderson, and solving a mystery while dealing with girls, musical obsessions, and the usual miserable adolescent interactions, received massive acclaim when it came out in 2006. His next, 2009's Andromeda Klein, also saw great reviews.
Portman's next book is a sequel to his first, entitled King Dork Approximately, and takes up with Tom Henderson immediately following the events of King Dork – kind of like Halloween II, except it doesn't suck. It's due out December 9 from Random House. We spoke with Portman by phone about the new book, his writing process, and character development, among many other things.
The Runout: Like Andromeda Klein, King Dork Approximately was pushed way back from the original release date. What's behind that?
Frank Portman: It just takes me, sometimes, a long time to write a book. My schedule and the publisher's projected schedule doesn't always work out to be the same. I try to do it the best I can, and to keep to a schedule, but as Douglas Adams is quoted as saying about deadlines, "The only thing you can like about them is the 'whooshing' sound they make as they go by."
As a matter of fact, no matter how earnestly and how diligently you want to keep on a schedule, novels aren't written that way. Many are, but mine are not. It's a little corny, but it is accurate: you just have to wait for the magic to happen. [laughs] There's lots of things that affect it: your state of mind, what you're going through in life, whether you have the ability to just open yourself up to typing. For me, King Dork Approximately was always in the back of my mind, being worked on, even when I was writing the first one, long ago – eight years ago was when it came out.
But, then, I just had to wait for the right time – and it happened with the other books, too – where I would just roll out of bed one morning, start typing, and not stop for a month. Hardly sleeping, liquid diet: it damages your health. It damages your mental and your physical health, but the weird thing is that you crash like crazy afterward, and when you look back, you can't remember having written it. It's a weird, weird thing.
It used to happen sometimes when I was intensely involved in recording, and it's like you're a different person. It's really weird. There's a really efficient way to do more work, but the only way I've ever found that works is that way, and the other thing about it is that you can't schedule it properly, and I wish I could. If I could schedule these manic creative zones so that they'd happen every four months or so? I'd probably kill myself, but I'd have a lot more things done.
But, that said – I'm trying to be better. I'm working on another one now, and I'm just hoping some insanity will sweep me up sooner rather than later. That's another one with Tom Henderson, King Dork Abroad, but I don't wanna set a date for it, because I really don't know.
Given that you were thinking about King Dork Approximately while writing King Dork, did you have the arc of Henderson's sophomore year in your head – planting seeds for the next book in the first?
Definitely. And, I was planting in Andromeda Klein, because those two stories end up intersecting. If I think about it, per se, I get all confused. It is weird when you start writing about characters that "live" in that way, because it's really like that world exists, and you have to dip into it, and you have to examine it.
I did intend for King Dork Approximately to be written sooner. It was always going to be what it is. It is a sequel, literally: it takes place following another book, and the events happen exactly when the first one ends, but it's intended to be its own separate thing. It's got the same character and the same story arc, but it's got different parameters with the kind of book it is, and that was always something I wanted to do. I wanted it to justify its existence – despite continuing a story – by being something else.
That was the thing that was challenging, because it's easy to do more of the same, I assume.
I see exactly what you mean, because it seems like, in King Dork Approximately, Tom's voice and the way he tells the story is jittery, seeming like its affected by the medication he's on.
That is part of it, yes.
It's like hearing someone you know, but they're talking in a way that's altered. It changes as the book goes on, but especially in those first couple of chapters, but it just seems like it's mile-a-minute, James Joyce stream-of-consciousness stuff.
Right. It's medication, and it's also his injury. He's speaking, knowing that what is – in his life – a cataclysmic thing is going to happen, so he's nervous about it. I did think very hard about the effect you're talking about, and I had to be careful. I had to go back and recast certain things I thought were diverging too much. You have to have the same voice, and I think it was clearly the same voice, but with something else going on in the story, in the narration, in the sort of book it is.
Because King Dork is sort of a meta-mystery, right? Not an actual mystery, but the sort of thing that comments on the idea of a mystery. King Dork Approximately, the idea was, was going to be more of a pseudo love story, and I had in my mind the sort of tone or the feeling of Annie Hall, with teenagers, is how I was feeling. It's a different kind of structure, and I would even say, stylistic parameters. It's more of a three-act story, because it's meant to evoke the feeling of that kind of story, even though it's quite off-kilter and – as with the other book – it's filtered through a narrator who has interesting things to say, but very limited self-understanding and limited understanding of the world around him. Basically, what I'm trying to say, is that I tried to do all this fancy stuff. [laughs]
Well, most young adult novels are the story of a teenager, but told by an adult at many years' remove, but in King Dork Approximately, you realize that Tom starts telling the story right as it ends.
That's the secret to the energy of what they call YA now. Not YA as a marketing category, which is different, but YA as a literary tradition. The spark of that is that you are seeing that thing directly through an adolescent's eyes and mine. You're not editorializing on it. As the writer, all of this stuff you do around the edges is to aid in the immediacy of getting that voice across, and there isn't really a better environment that's more suited to that, because that's part of what adolescence is.
It's part of why we're interested in it. It's all these things that happen to you for the first time, and these are the things that keep happening over and over agin, throughout your life, so you can recognize them. You can relate to them, but there's a drama in encountering them for the first time. That's why I like this kind of book and, obviously, you're going to try to write the kind of book you like yourself.
What I find interesting about your three books thus far is that your characters are low people on the totem pole. They're sort of put-upon, and you show that they're very aware of their position in society, but you also give the reader some hint of why they're where they are, but without making it seem as if it's justified. How do you walk that fine line?
I think that's a nice compliment, because that's a subtle thing to do, right? You ruin it by being heavy-handed. The way that it works is that, if you have genuine characters and their voice is true to the character, and you scrupulously stick to it – well, you have to stick to it. Otherwise, if you editorialize or if you stack the deck to diverge from that thing, then you're writing a different kind of book, and you're doing different kind of characters. I'm not saying I didn't stack the deck, but it was always in their voices.
Whenever Tom steps back, and says, "And so, dear reader, this is the message I want you to get," it is what he is thinking of in the moment. It is not a message to the reader from any more authority than the guy right there, and I just always try to pay attention to that, to maintain the immediacy, because if you lose that then, it's almost like a spell is broken, I think, and I've experienced that in reading other books. It's an unpleasant experience as a reader.
You have – and I hope this doesn't come across as insulting – but you have a genuine ability to write songs that seem like they'd come from a high-schooler.
Indeed! I've said this before: it surprises me that that should surprise anyone, because what is rock 'n' roll, right? It's teenage music. It began as teenage music. It's still teenage music, even though a lot of old people have written it. There's a complete congruence between writing what ends up in a rock 'n' roll song, and what I was talking about before – the immediacy of the narrative of an adolescent. It also had to do with experiences being felt for the first time and the particular way that you're finding your way forward, and that's why you're talking about it.
I think that works really well in songs, too, though not all songs are like that. Certainly, there are people who write songs about the grizzled old guy by the bar reflecting on life, or he's riding on a train, or whatever, and there's great songs like that, but they're not the kind, particularly, that I do.
Mine are more of an artful way of kind of expressing a general distress and angst about the world, from the point of view of someone who has a slightly limited perspective on it. I think that there's drama there, and it works well in a song. I think that I learned that after doing it for so many years, and it's the kind of thing that I wanted in a book when I started doing a book. There's a continuum that makes sense between the songs and the books.
Being true to the voice of a teenager is definitely something I picked up. Like, the idea of Tom and Sam referring to albums by their catalog numbers was, at first, supremely irritating, but after a bit, I thought, "You know, I may have known someone" – who may or may not be myself – "who would've done exactly that." That inside code thing between friends is spot on.
That is exactly right. It is irritating. You have to take the irritating with the non-irritating, especially when you're writing about high school. I never did that, particularly, but – as you say – I am the kind of guy who would've done it, had I thought of it. It's the idea of wanting to set yourself apart from the crowd in a sort of bitter, petulant spirit, although that bitterness can, ironically, be quite good-natured. It's a way of establishing your identity when all the other ways – the world being divided, as they say, into joiners and non-joiners – so the joiners have their way of being with each other and reinforcing their own status quo.
And those who – either by design or through no fault of their own, or even those who try to get in with the joiners, but can't – those people create their own culture that may only exist in their own head. It's a way of carving out a little part of the world for yourself, and is often quite pathetic and – you're right – it can be quite annoying, but I think it's true to life.
King Dork was kind of like a primer for teenage rebellion, in terms of authors and bands and whatnot, but with King Dork Approximately, and the whole catalog code bit, it seems like you're making the reader work a little bit more for the knowledge, rather than handing it to them – which is kind of a metaphor for how the book works as a whole.
Again, that's a big compliment, and I think that's fair to say. I've always believed that you shouldn't underestimate the reader. You want to make things interesting for them, but you don't necessarily want to make it easy for them, especially when it comes to teenagers.
I think that people are so terrified – writers and publishers, et cetera – they are so terrified you're going to lose [teenager's] attention if you don't –
Spoon feed them?
I believe that you shouldn't pander to readers at all, but particularly teens. I don't write the books, obviously, for only teenagers to read, but the worst thing you can do is pat them on the head and go, "Here's the teenage version of this real thing you'll be old enough to do one day. But, here's the teenage version now. Is that okay, honey?" That just is never going to work and is a bad thing that used to infuriate me when I was a kid. I just felt it was humiliating and embarrassing when it would happen.
You need to talk to teenagers and you need to talk to readers like they were anyone else, because they actually are regular people. I believe that in an almost ideological sort of way.

Yabba dabba don't!
Federal banking authorities put out an alert this week warning consumers to steer clear of a website linked with the "First National Bank of Bedrock."
The bank claims to be based in Bedrock, Colo. But according to the Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, the institution is as phony as the town of Bedrock that "The Flintstones" call home.
"First National Bank of Bedrock offers normal banking activities, totally secure and completely anonymous! But also ... offers many other unique investments," the website boasts, including options trading and real estate.

Hi, I'm driving my dog back home after the winter in AZ.
On the way here from Detroit we took the Indy, St. Louis, OK City, Albuquerque route. It was fine but my little car didn't like the hills in OK and IL much.
I see that we could go through Wichita and KC from Albuquerque to Indy.
If you' ve driven that route would you please post your thoughts relating to flatness and where to stay. Thank you.
