Ever since the calendar turned over and 2013 became 2014 I've been thinking about writing some kind of New Year's resolution blog post. After fiddling with the format in my head, trying to decide on three or four smart resolutions and perusing a few resolution blog on the blogosphere, I think I got it.
2013 wasn't a bad year overall. I remained healthy (which for me is a big plus in itself), obtained my PR diploma, returned to the workforce after what seemed like forever, went on my first vacation in over three years and met some of the greatest people I've ever known. So, what's 2014 going to hold? If I can stick to it these four things at least …
1. Write more – I'm really disappointed in how I've let this blog slip and how I've also fallen behind in my other blog that I use to try and keep my sports obsession in check. Being busy and finding it hard to come up with topics and ideas shouldn't be an excuse. Everyone's busy and has writer's block occasionally, but they likely don't routinely go months between blog post, or post once a week instead of every couple of days as originally planned. When I was in New York in early December I bought a book at the New York Public Library called 642 Things to Write About and I've barely cracked it open let alone completed one of the writing exercises from it. That's going to change.
2. Read more – When I first started my job back in August I had this figured out. I had just over half hour in the mornings waiting in the parking lot during which I could read. I went through half a dozen books pretty quickly before my schedule changed and that time was lost. Now I need to get it back. I've got a steadily growing pile of books on my bedside table that needs to start shrinking. I think Ian Rankin's Saints of the Shadow Bible should be the first to get dusted off. Any recommendations to add to the pile to get me even more motivated?
3. Find the right path – That may seem like a vague one and maybe it is but it works better that way I think. My current job is guaranteed to last until April 27. That's when my current contract runs out and my chances of having extended are completely out of my hands. It depends on finances and budgets much more than my performance. Because of this I've been searching for work that will last beyond my April deadline for a few months now. That includes five jobs applications I've completed in the last three weeks alone. I'm applying for almost anything that might be a fit right now, but I'm still holding out hope that something really good will come along. What was it I heard last night… "find your way back to where you want to be." A few of the jobs I've applied for might just fit that mould, or at least be a good stopping point on the way there.
4. Open up – If you know me, you likely know I'm in introvert. If you don't know me I might be the quiet guy in the corner at that party or get together you were just at. That's something I've mentioned before in this blog and something I need to continue to work on. At one point I could have likely counted the number of people that know me well on one hand, but that number has grown slightly over the last year or so. Those great people I mentioned earlier on, that would be them. Hopefully some of them are reading this and I think they'll know who they are. I still need to work on it though, not only for my personal life, but for my professional life as well. Networking is much easier when you're not always the quiet guy stuck in the background.
Happy New Year everyone. May 2014 be your best year yet.
Give me help, give me strength
Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
Give me love, give me peace
Don't you know these days you pay for everything
Got high hopes

Hank built every wall around him.
He started with the mountains
that surrounded his house.
He didn't build them of course,
but he made sure he was surrounded by walls,
natural walls that would keep him in.
Next he cut down as many trees as necessary
while still keeping a wall of green
inside the wall of mountains.
Hank had many layers.
Walls were something
Hank was comfortable with.
Hank was a sensitive man.
Too sensitive. Afraid to let people in.
People thought of Hank as cold
and detached, when in reality
Hank was just afraid to let people in.
Hank's previous experiences had taught him
that honesty brought along
inherent dangers, judgements.
Hank choose to be
comfortable with himself,
and as a result,
Hank was a man of walls.

I've decided I'm not so much a procrastinator as someone with entirely too much on her plate. Every day I work my way through the day's tasks, and every day at least one thing gets shoved off to the next day. I put off working on things that need the most concentration until such a time that concentration is possible and suddenly it's crunch time and duct taping the children to the roof is a viable option.
This is why my last post here on An Intense Life is not only a day late, but a few hours shy of the blog's new direction. Not what I had planned, but what happened. I had wanted to write on parental expectations, instead am typing with my thumbs on a iPhone about procrastination and how I'm not really a procrastinator, I just have procrastination thrust upon me. Or something like that. Blended with perfectionism and topped with chaos a la mode, we have a tasty smoothie of why I often have a hard time getting things done.
Regardless, I wanted to take the time to thank Christine for the opportunity to write for An Intense Life. It has been a joy and a privilege to be a contributing writer this last year or so. To work with someone whose work I appreciate and enjoy has been delightful, and I look forward to seeing how this site grows in the future.
So while my post here was pushed off until nearly the last minute, it was finished. Someday I'll teach my sons how to determine what can be
procrastinated postponed and what can't, but as that would push something else off today's list, I guess it'll just have to wait.

Global Mission Fund is a non-profit organization dedicated to empowering third world native ministers with self-sustaining income opportunities through micro-finance capital access. In places of extreme poverty, where there is great need, local ministers must be freed from dependence on foreign funding. To do so, we need to find creative ways to help establish local avenues of income. The problem though, that many face in the third world, is that there is very little access to capital; and in this world, without money it's nearly impossible to make money. So the poor always depend on someone else, and ministerial ambitions are stifled by lack of funds or strings-attached giving. GMF looks to solve this problem by making capital available in the form of micro-loans. After an applicant vetting process, which includes the submission of a business plan to GMF, recipients receive a loan with established repayment terms. A loan fee is included, which enables the fund to grow and provide additional loans to new applicants.

A Clockwork Orange
It is a dystopian novel, set in future London. It follows the story of a boy, Alex, in three parts. The first part is about him and his "droogs" basically beating people up and what not. He then gets caught by the police. The second part follow his time in jail two year later. Where he finds out about a new therapy that turns felons into good people. He then goes through the extremely unethical therapy and turns "good." The third part is after he has been released into the world a changed man. He ends up running into some old "friends" and things don't go so well for him.
What I liked most about the book was the last chapter. Which, if you've seen the movie, you won't know anything about because they cut it out. But he really does change and grows up.
I really don't know what else to say, it was a very thought provoking book. It makes you think about how important ethics really are.
I would definitely recommend this book. The character of Alex is a very interesting one. Although, the language can be difficult to understand at first, the author uses a lot of slang. However, you do get the hang of it after a while.

This week's WordPress Weekly Photo Challenge theme is an easy one…
From Sara Rosso, the theme is Thankful. In the United States, yesterday was Thanksgiving, a holiday where people spend time with family and friends and remember the things they're thankful for.
I think the idea of being thankful and reflecting back on good things in your life is something that naturally happens towards the end of a calendar year…more here
Almost everyday (almost because some days, I forget), I am thankful that we live in an area of the United States abundant with open space and natural beauty.
I am especially thankful that the weather here is so mild that we can take our grandchildren to the beach with their short sleeve shirts in November, and they can play in the sand well into sunset.
I took these photos earlier this week, the day before Thanksgiving…
It takes some work to focus on being thankful and to focus on the positive — at least for me.
I'm so thankful for these silly little men — my sweet grandsons — who give us a great excuse to stop and to just be. Here are some other favorite silly pics, when they were younger…
There really is so much to be thankful for…I'm thankful for being here to enjoy the beauty of our landscape…and of course, thankful for my family.
And hopefully, when the little guys are grown men, they are always thankful to have one another, and look back and be thankful for the childhood moments they shared.

Finding Forever
They say that hindsight is 20/20; for hip-hop, truer words were never said. With subpar music flooding the airwaves, listeners searching for once-present superiority are prematurely christening undeniably great rap albums with the ever-dangerous "classic" tag. Audacious, yes, but misguided, considering said long-players have had shorter shelf lives than Crystal Pepsi.
Perhaps the trend starter, and most guilty, was Common's Be. A much needed upgrade from 2002's head-scratchingly progressive Electric Circus, Be revealed his best chemistry partner, Kanye West, since the late J Dilla. A lyrical clinic throughout, the disc's overly subdued production gains sleepiness upon further spins. Save for "The Corner" and "Chi City," the album lacks true bite. Oddly enough, Com and 'Ye may feel the same. Finding Forever, the Chicago wordsmith's seventh disc, bumps like Be 2.0, capturing his '05 gem's essence while injecting some necessary audible steroids.
The enhanced performance surfaces instantly with "Start the Show," a chopped harp/organ blend that compliments Lonnie Lynn's ego thrashing ("Twelve monkeys onstage, it's hard to tell who's the gorilla/You should have stayed as a drug dealer"). Even brawnier, "The Game," a West-helmed boom-bap revival, bangs with relentless percussion and precise DJ Premier–turned scratches. Reinvigorated by the throwback simplicity, Common catches the holy verbal ghost and spits gospel: "I don't kiss the ass of the masses, I'm the Black molasses/Thick, and I lasted past these rap bastards."
Of course, Common without cultural uplift wouldn't make much sense. Here, however, his expected brilliance is backed by tougher Kanye-tracked soul. Co-produced by West's cousin, Devo Springsteen, the brooding "Misunderstood" poignantly details the pains of hustlers gone bad. Somberness shifts to hypnosis on the Lily Allen–assisted "Driving Me Wild," with the college dropout's sweeping drummer-boy bass conjuring unhealthy self-obsession parables ("They say 'Ye is, but dude was bigheaded/Rockin' fur in the summer just so somebody would pet it").
Never less than honest, Common has always brought his love movements to the fore. While still believable, the overall execution of his balladry here unfortunately falls short. Past softies, like 2000's "The Light," preserved his prose; sadly, the same can't be said for "I Want You," a will.i.am-tracked conga bounce hindered by lazy lyrics ("I take a deep breath when the times is hard/When I reminisce over you, my God"). Equally questionable is the inclusion of the sublime yet previously released "So Far to Go," off Dilla's posthumous disc The Shining. New verses aside, its familiarity lingers.
When an album's missteps still convey its overall passion, though, admiration remains. Does Finding Forever improve on the questionably classic Be? In some ways, yes. Kanye experiments more (hear his mimicking of Dilla's off-kilter sample chopping on "Break My Heart"), while Common continually pushes boundaries by simply spitting genuinely. Truthfully, though, comparisons aren't necessary. Once again, Common makes timeless hip-hop seem easy. —MATT BARONE

First Week
Every time I return to CCF, things are always a bit different than when I left. It is really interesting to see what changes and what stays the same during the few months that I am away. The main difference is probably the people at CCF. The staff are relatively constant, but there is always a new group of volunteers and interns when I return. You sometimes miss the friends you made that have already left, but there are always new people to meet. CCF draws people from around the world so you never know who you are going to meet.
I've just finished my first week back, but so much has already happened. I've started to fall back into my place here at CCF… doing cheetah runs, helping with the various maintenance jobs, center feeding, working with CCF's ambassador cheetahs, driving for field/strip counts, etc. We are always very busy but it's great!
This summer is going to be a bit different than last because I'll be conducting my senior thesis research whilst here. Cheetahs use large trees throughout the bush as scent posts for territory establishment, breeding behavior, and other social behaviors. We call these trees "playtrees" and because they play such an important role in cheetah biology, they make great sites for us to study and collect data on cheetahs. Though we understand what cheetahs use playtrees for and how we use playtrees to study cheetahs, we aren't sure what characteristics of these trees are important for cheetahs. So what characteristics of playtrees themselves are cheetahs looking for when they decide which trees to use? My project this summer will be to determine these "explanatory" characteristics, as a thorough understanding of these playtrees themselves will help us focus our study of cheetahs and will improve management/conservation of wild cheetah populations.
I'm just in the initial stages of this project, but I will keep you posted on its progress and development over the coming months. I've had the time to get some photos you might enjoy which I've posted below (including a couple from the most recent re-wilding: click here for more information). CCF is a non-profit organization so we rely completely on private donations for all of the work we do. So if you are interested in supporting CCF, visit the website at www.cheetah.org to find out how. Remember you can subscribe to this blog at the bottom of this page for an email notification any time I post something new. As always, I'm happy to answer any questions I can. Until next time…

What characterizes the "New India" ? You know, the new breed of fashionable, educated, gently rebellious youth who earn their own money and often live in rented apartments? In terms of items this group consumes, I would say Cafe Coffee Day, Orkut, Ghajini-inspired caller tunes, Friends (oh sorry, F.R.I.E.N.D.S), chunky jewelry, iPod Nanos, Pink Floyd (for the engineering crowd at least)… and now, it seems that emergency contraceptives like Cipla's iPill and Mankind Pharmaceutical's Unwanted-72 can be added to the list.
(Note: For this post, I'll focus on the iPill as opposed to Unwanted-72, though both companies appear to have similar philosophies) (more…)

From their first bout in 1941 to their last in 1966 the rivalry would carry over three decades and lead to the creation of one of the most recognizable hallmarks of MLW at Maple Leaf Gardens – the Ramp! – But more on that later.
The feud found its beginning way back in the history of MLW. Frank Tunney had taken over for his brother John who had passed away suddenly in January 1940 leaving young Frank to forge ahead on his own – with his new soon- to- be- star of the city – Whipper Watson.
Whipper, after winning a tournament to decide a number one contender for the World Title in 1941 would see his star power begin to rise. In February 1942 he would enter into a battle with the hated Nanjo Singh and take the British Empire Title from Singh in April 1942 to begin his first of nine reigns as Champion.
Nicknamed the 'Hooded Hindu' or 'Hindu Killer', or variously 'Horrid Hindu' or 'Turbaned Terror' or several other monikers, Singh had been wrestling since the early 1930's. Said to have come from India via Vancouver he first showed up In Toronto in 1938 and was already earning the fans hatred using the feared Cobra Hold to finish off his opponents. He debuted for matchmaker Jack Corcoran (Corcoran preceded John Tunney as Toronto Promoter) billed as a student of the great Gama the famous Indian wrestler.
In those days it wasn't unusual for the fans to engage in some 'spirited' involvement at the Wrestling matches with frequent riots and cases of wrestlers – and referee's – being attacked after an unpopular decision. Some wrestlers could earn the fans wrath just by showing up, Nanjo Singh was one of those wrestlers. In 1940 after putting Ottawa native Leo Giroux to sleep with the Cobra, Singh would have to be escorted to the dressing room to escape the fury of the fans. It was one of many occasions that Singh would see this played out over his career of infuriating wrestling fans.
In addition to the Cobra which was said to be his original move, Singh would pray in the corner before a bout and use the villain tactics of eye-gouges, biting, and foreign objects to further enrage the fans. Later area heels Tiger Jeet Singh (no relation) and The Sheik (Farhat) would borrow much of the act getting mostly the same reaction at MLG.
The two would first meet in early 1941, but it was in Dec 1941 when the seeds were planted for the feud of the ages. During a bout with George Lenahan, Whipper unveiled his new finisher the Canadian Avalanche, said to be invented by Watson and his mentor Phil Lawson. Described as a standing leg lock, forward body roll, and jumping leg stretch, Watson finished off Lenahan with his new move when Nanjo watching from the sidelines tore into the ring. Singh walked right into a right cross and hit the canvas in a daze but continued to go at Watson until they were separated.
On the next card in Jan 1942 Singh would interfere in Watson's bout vs Gus Sonnenberg. Singh was sitting at the press table for the bout and started taunting Watson. At one point in the bout Watson hit the floor and Singh attacked. In what was described by long time (and often tongue in cheek) Wrestling Reporter Joe Perlove, it was 'just a little less than a split second' before the fans converged on Singh for going after their hero.
Singh ended up under the ring (more on that later too) while the fans pelted him with anything they could throw. With the action on the floor referee Al 'Bunny' Dunlop would count out Watson costing him the much anticipated match-up with the well versed Sonnenberg.
Back in the day Whipper was a fast, high flying star on his way to becoming the number 1 star in all of Canadian Wrestling history. Nanjo, like Watson, had come up through the light-heavyweight division and was said to have (as Watson had) held a European Light Heavyweight Title prior to his arrival in North America.
Having set up the grudge bout the two rivals would meet on the next card and end up brawling on the floor before being counted out. The new game in town was now 'hissing the Hindu' as reported by Perlove and Singh would have to constantly battle the fans on his way in – and out- of the ring. He would also make it a habit to hide under the ring to escape the abuse which now included pop bottles being flung in from the upper rows at MLG.
At one card Singh was said to have packed the ringside with his 'gang', about 400 hundred supporters from the Dundas-Parliament section of Toronto – in order to combat the influence of Watson's East end supporters (Watson was the pride of East York).
With subsequent bouts ending in dis-array, Frank Tunney would set up a re-match on Feb 5 1942 with what we would know now as a cage match. With a 'wire enclosure' around the ring there would be no escape for the hated Singh, constantly on the run from both Watson – and the fans. In the lead up Watson would demand Singh be searched so there would be no more coat-hangers as in a previous bout.
In front of over 6,000 fans and enclosed in the cage the two would battle it out for almost 20 minutes before Nanjo flung Whipper into the cage entangling the hero somewhat outside the ring and leading to a count out. Sam Yanaky an area promoter who was acting as Nanjo's manager would attempt to interfere in the bout before being beset on by the now constantly irritated fans.
In response Hamilton promoter Sammy Sobol would attempt to help Watson extricate himself from the fence before Singh knocked him off the outside. Singh would once again hide under the ring till the unpopular decision died down, and in trying to get to the dressing room would be met by Sobol's younger brother Eddie who would take up the fight. Just another night in the Maple Leaf wrestling wars
With the win over Watson, Singh earned a bout with British Empire champ Earl McCready. Whipper would not wrestle but be on hand to challenge the winner. Another Canadian star Yvon Robert would be on the card to validate his World Tile reign, as recognized in Montreal at the time. Singh would end up beating referee Dunlop's count to emerge victorious over McCready in a bloody bout to become the new British Empire title holder.
The very next day Frank Tunney announced that Nanjo's first defense of his new title would be against Whipper to which Nanjo was said to have agreed on the terms that he receive $1000 over the usual percentage. Tunney estimated they would draw a minimum of 12,000 to see the bout. A few days later it was announced that a special appointment of referee Fred Bourguignon of Ottawa was secured for the match-up. Bourguignon was a noted referee on the Ottawa cards and a former wrestler himself.
This bout would be especially brutal, even by the previous standards set by these two. Whipper, in a very unfamiliar role, would become just as aggressive as his hated foe, and the bout would end up a bloodbath in front of the less than spectacular turnout of 5,000 fans on hand. As with previous bouts Whipper would end up on the floor and the fans would seize the opportunity to 'try and tear at least one leg free' from Singh before Watson got back in and went straight to strangling his adversary.
Singh would end up being stretchered out and was reported to have gone to St Micheal's hospital just down the street from the Gardens for treatment of facial injuries. Manager Sam was again caught in the middle when he tried to argue with Whipper after the bout and Whipper knocked him flat before the fans made his exit another treacherous route.
When the next card was announced, Singh was due to defend his title against Roland Kirchmeyer much to Watson's dismay. Watson proclaimed he would never again wrestle in Toronto until he was given another chance at beating Nanjo. He was said to have turned down a chance to wrestle in the semi in order to appear in Montreal for promoter Eddie Quinn on that night (in reality Whip was in Hamilton taking on John Katan). Singh would use his Cobra hold to subdue Kirchmeyer only to be then matched up against former World champ Lou Thesz for the next round of battles the following week.
Thesz was undefeated in Toronto and they would play up Singh's earlier boasts of one day winning a world title for India and beating Thesz would be the next step. Whipper would find himself matched against another former Champ – Ed Don George.
The card billed as Parade of Champions would see the famously stiff Thesz rattle Singh from pillar to post before ref Dunlop disqualified Nanjo for repeatedly kicking Thesz while he was down. The fans, so happy with the decision -and in marked contrast to previous bouts - would forget to attack Singh on his way out. Whipper meanwhile would beat Don George to set up a future meeting with Thesz.
Singh would keep busy cultivating his image as the heel of the century including attacking a radio announcer (Rex Stimers: for publicly calling Nanjo 'punch drunk') and being tossed out of a couple of local establishments in Toronto. In between he would take on others including Vic Christy and The Angel before being set up in a re-match with Watson. In the lead up to this one it was said that the two had engaged in a battle inside Tunney's private office and demolished the place.
When they finally met again on Apr 30 1942 in yet another grudge bout, Whipper would emerge victorious and claim the British Empire Title, with which his name would become synonymous with for the better part of the next 25 years.
Nanjo got his re-match on May 15th getting pinned by Watson, but not before another violent outing including Nanjo snatching Whipper's new belt (presented by Toronto Controller Fred Hamilton) and using it as a weapon on his hated rival. Whipper would get the last laugh using the ref's belt to handcuff Nanjo and lay a beating on him much to the crowd's approval
Prior to the May 20 card with Whipper taking on The Angel, Nanjo was at it again. This time he was picketing in front of Maple Leaf Gardens with a sign proclaiming 'Wrestling officials unfair to Nanjo Singh'. Tunney remarked 'He must be a cry-baby' and wondered aloud if Singh was doing it to increase or decrease attendance for Whippers next title defense.
|Sharkey taking a shot at Singh 1942
When Thursday came around, Nanjo once again got involved by hitting Watson when The Angel tossed him outside the ring. As per the norm, the Gardens faithful attacked Singh and he made his retreat again to his new home away from home – under the ring. This time Toronto's finest went after him and escorted him safely back to the dressing room. Tunney would later admit (not without a touch of truth) that 'He's caused a lot of trouble but he's also created a lot of interest and drawn crowds'.
When the next re-match came around on June 18 1942 Tunney would appoint former Boxing champ Jack Sharkey to be the third man in the ring. Tunney would note that if Nanjo gets out of hand he may be stopping a 'lethal punch to the chin' from Sharkey. They would also bring back the wire enclosure – the cage, but Whipper would remain champ and the feud would cool off with the two being matched against other grapplers.
Whipper would lose the title to McCready in October and Nanjo, if not enjoying the crowds approval, was certainly helping bring in the fans and thus was awarded a main vs World Champion Bill Longson only to lose to 'Wild Bill' in a 20 minute bout.
On Jan 28 1943 new Empire champ John Katan (had won from McCready) failed to show for his main event bout vs Watson. Nanjo got the sub and Watson got the win, once again taking the championship. The drama would play out over the next few months with Watson losing his belt to Robert and regaining it soon thereafter. While the feud would die down, both Watson & Singh would remain vital to the Toronto Wrestling scene and over the next few years would have occasional cage bouts and special referees whenever they were matched.
Fast forward to 1948, Watson is still champ five years later and had also added the tag of 'Former World Champ' to his resume when he beat Longson in St Louis for the NWA (National Wrestling Association) belt in February 1947. Watson would lose that belt to Thesz in April 1947 but returned to Toronto the ultimate home town hero.
Back to business in Toronto in May 1948 the next match-up between Singh & Watson would include the wire fence as well as a new stipulation of removing the curfew and time-limit. With a large crowd of 11,000 on hand, the hated Singh would end up with the win by count-out. As Whipper was being stretchered out Singh would taunt the ex-champ and the fans as usual would try to tear him apart again. When a crowd including Police and the other wrestlers on the card tried to protect Singh he dashed under the ring until they could form a wall to enable the new champ safe passage to the back. The fans would learn new tricks too including lighting papers on fire and throwing them under the ring to 'smoke him out – like a porcupine'.

After beating a visiting Gorgeous George, Whipper was awarded a re-match to regain his crown.
This time however there would a new development, one that would impact wrestling at the Gardens over the next five decades.
In order to provide safe passage for the constantly harassed Singh, Tunney announced there would be a ramp set up from the entrance way to the ring. An 'escape hatch' as described, it would serve exactly the purpose for which it was created. After Watson was declared the winner and new champ, Singh would attack Phil Lawson in the ring. Watson would save his manager and Singh would then hightail it across the ramp, safe above the heads of the surging ringside crowd.
The feud now in its 7th year would continue on and off right up to the early 1950's. The newspaper ads of the time would depict cartoon caricatures of the wrestlers and in the different political climate of the day Nanjo would be depicted as a turban wearing snake going up against the crown wearing Watson.
Whipper would lose and regain his crown several times along the way and then on March 15 1956 would beat Lou Thesz at MLG to win the NWA (National Wrestling Alliance) World Title. Watson would vacate the British Empire title at this point and go on to defend the NWA title on home ground 16 times over the year before losing the belt back to Thesz in St Louis on November 9 1956 . That same year Nanjo would wrestle his last bout in Toronto on April 4 losing to Pat O'Connor before an extended leave from the area.
On Jan 22 1958 Nanjo would be arrested in Philadelphia for the murder of his wife Betty who had been found beaten in their apartment above a bar Singh was operating in the city. He was eventually found guilty of second degree and sentenced to 8 years
|Under the ring 1966
Just about 8 years later in August 1966 during an extended series of cards at the now defunct Maple Leaf Stadium (Ballpark on Toronto's shores), Nanjo would return to Toronto to interfere in a tag bout between Whipper & Bulldog Brower vs Tiger Jeet Singh and Fred Atkins. The feud was on again. The following week at the top of the card, and once more for the British Empire Title (Whipper was billed as Empire champ from 1959-1967 inclusive) Whipper and Nanjo would revisit the rivalry of the old days.
While both wrestlers were nearing the end of their careers and were both up in age, they would match the ferocity of their earlier bouts albeit in a short contest when both men were counted out of the ring at the 4:31 mark. Both Whipper and Nanjo would return to Maple Leaf Stadium on September 18th for a re-match before some 6,000 fans with the bout ending in a disqualification win for Watson.
Toronto Photographer Roger Baker who covered the meeting at the Ballpark and reported on bouts for the magazines of the day remembers
"They had a showdown at the Maple Leaf Ball Park, a riot ensued as a result of Singh receiving outside assistance, I covered this event, and Singh tried to hide out under the ring because of all the heat. I went under the ring and got a shot of Singh, exhausted and scared as hell of the fans who tried to get him; they got his young accomplice and really worked him over, there were a number of Toronto's finest trying to get the fans off of the young wrestler, who had aided Singh".
The young wrestler who was billed as Mohan Singh was said to be Nanjo's son and Tiger Jeet said to be Nanjo's brother. At this point Nanjo would have been about 49 years old while 'brother' Tiger, though he looked older, was only about 18 and could have easily also been his 'son'.
It's interesting to note that at this time that Tiger Jeet was the main heel in the area (under the tutelage of long time star Fred Atkins) and a similar persona to Nanjo. The cards featuring Nanjo vs Whipper were alternated with cards featuring Tiger and Fred save for the first re-appearance on Nanjo back in August.
As in the old days Nanjo could incite the fans like no other. During the riot at the Ballpark several police officers were assaulted and one 18 year old fan was charged with three counts of assault on an officer.
|Nanjo snacking on Whip's foot 1966
For their 3rd bout in Oct 2 1966 Whipper would soundly defeat Nanjo and the feud would devolve with Nanjo going on to teaming with Tiger as well as Mohan Singh before making his last appearance on Nov 17 1966.
In a 1969 article with Tunney celebrating 30 years in Wrestling, he would remark on The Sheik, the new heel aggravating fans at MLG. 'He's the nuttiest wrestler we've had around here since Nanjo Singh'. Describing Nanjo as the best (therefore the worst) heel ever to antagonize an audience in the 30 year history of wrestling at the Gardens and Whipper as the all-time hero really sums up the drama played out over the decades.
Tunney goes on to say that 'The people must have sensed that Nanjo was the genuine article. I mean he and Whip really disliked each other. There's showmanship in wrestling but they didn't need it. I've seen Nanjo go after Whip in the office after the matches were over ".
Tunney relates how he originally brought Singh in because he had heard he bit off another wrestler's ear in Kansas City. "In fact there was only one way to cool Nanjo off and that was to let him know the cops were coming. He was scared of them. He was the greatest I ever saw.
He would do anything; you were always scared to death when he was working, for fear of what he might pull off. He'd pick up anything loose and hit his opponent with it. You'd never put up with a guy like him if he wasn't such a big draw".
|Mohan facing camera, Ref Joe Gollub on right
Rocky Johnson in foreground, back to camera 1966
Tunney's propensity for promoting is related in a telling anecdote: "The Late Lionel Conacher, when he was athletic commissioner, fined him $100 for some caper. We had a picture taken of him (Singh) with 10 sawbucks and it made the papers. Connie phoned up and said if he'd known we were going to get $1000 of publicity out of it, he'd have fined him a grand".
When Whipper was hit by a car in Dec 1971 effectively ending his wrestling career, the headline 'Whipper Watson beaten at last' was followed by: 'Nanjo Singh couldn't do in a decade of trying…"
Nanjo's name would continue to pop up whenever the stories of Wrestling at Maple Leaf Gardens would be related even making it into a 1982 article on the then current scene with his name dropped as a grappler 'nearly forgotten about'. In 1995 in an article titled 'First time since 1939 storied Tunney name not part of Wrestling', Nanjo, his legacy of infuriating fans, starting riots, and being a general troublemaker, would get a fitting mention as the first name in a series of 'detestable villains' who had opposed Whipper over his career as the hero of Toronto.
Thanks to Roger Baker !

□ The National Institute for Mathematical Science (President Jeong Han Kim) is hosting an International conference entitled 'Human Connectome (connectivity map of cranial nerve): Views from MRI and Microscope' from March 28 to 31 in Seoul (Ewha Womans University). This is achieved through the thematic program of open research project in the area of brain science.
□ This year's conference is sponsored by the Korea Research Council of Fundamental Science and Technology (chairman Dong Pil Min) and was jointly organized by Jeong Han Kim of the Graph Theory, also a global expert in the field of mathematics and brain science; professor Dae Shik Kim (KAIST), technician of high-resolution MRI; and professor Sebastian Seung (MIT), in the field of computational neuroscience. In addition, Karl Friston (WTCN), Arthur Toga (UCLA), Jeff Lichtman (Harvard University), Winfried Denk (Max Planck Institute for Medical Research), David van Essen (Washington University in St. Louis), and 24 other globally renowned scholars will participate to present their recent research and discussion on human connectome as well as to give a lecture for the domestic researchers.
□ What is most interesting about this conference is that all the world's top brain scientists who each have expressed their own assertions with respect to connectome research will be gathered in one arena for the first time. Connectome research is primarily divided into two research groups: one group who approach connectivity of brain area from the macro perspective using MRI; and the other group who try to understand cell-level micro connectivity using optical or electron microscope. Through this conference, the researchers who have different standpoints will conduct a live discussion. Academic circles from all over the globe will be give enormous attention to the result and the ripple effect this conference will have on the research hereafter.
□ In this event, the senior editor of the universal journal 'Science' will participate and perform an in-depth reporting of the conference, as well as conduct an interview regarding Korea's science & technology policy and research status with Dong Pil Min, chairman of Korea Research Council of Fundamental Science and Technology, and the organizer Jeong Han Kim. Moreover, through this conference, NIH (National Institutes of Health)'s international co-operation chief will look into Korea's current research status in the field of brain science, as well as to ascertain whether NIH will collaborate and support this field. On this note, this conference will be an opportunity for Korea to show the world the status of scientific technology in Korea, and at the same time to elevate the level of domestic research in the field of brain science.
□ Jeong Han Kim is currently performing a research on brain function analysis which applies mathematical analysis and modeling technique. This is through the planning project of NAP (National Agenda Project) entitled 'Mathematical decoding of brain function' Through this research, he aims to investigate the cause of brain disorder and to develop diagnosis, and ultimately develop artificial neural network close to the level of human data processing. Furthermore, through this conference, he plans to introduce to this country what has recently been the most active research all over the world, namely, human brain function and brain disorder research and more specifically, connectome's most recent research result and trends.
Jeong Han Kim added "Through this conference, I hope to promote the vitalization of domestic brain science research, and at the same time show the world how mathematics can be in utilized in the research of brain science. Along with the research of the human connectome, research that analyzes connectome in relation to the brain function is very important. By analyzing the connectome with the Graph Theory as the foothold, you can extract information regarding which part of the brain is crucial to the brain function, and in what kind of system the many areas of the brain is participating in the brain function.
※ What is Connectome?
-Like a circuit diagram that shows the connectivity of electron devices of electronic goods, connectome is by and large the whole data of connectivity of each brain parts such as nerves cells or assembly of nerve cells that make up the brain. Connectome is being researched by using optical microscope, electron microscope, brain MRI etc. and this becomes a useful research data for brain disorder that comes from beyond brain function, brain's development process and brain connectivity.

A Script in 2 Hours: Ron Falzone on "Typing"
Jordan Poast
Given two hours of free time, many people would choose to watch a movie. It takes a unique brand of person, though, to write a movie in just two hours. Screenwriter and Columbia College Associate Professor Ron Falzone is one of these unique individuals who not only wrote the script for his short film, Typing, in two feverish hours, but who excelled at it so that it was selected to be exhibited at last year's Chicago International Film Festival.
Scribed in 2004, the ten-minute long Typing features two screenwriters (played by Steppenwolf Theater alums Tim Kazurinsky and Francis Guinan) given the impossible task of composing a script for the blandest leading man in Hollywood (Robert Montgomery) with the only requirement being that it include sex, adventure and a dog.
Inspired by his "film gods," Billy Wilder and Preston Sturges, Falzone wove a tale centering on the madness and futility of the creative process. Along with the challenge of writing a film for a star that Falzone likens to "walking white milk," writers Harry and Al (who are based on director Wilder and his screenwriter, Charles Brackett) become crippled by an unenviable case of writer's block. Exacerbating their inability to commit to a singular idea is a fellow screenwriter typing madly in a neighboring room, the ease of which inspires the goofy pair to concoct an incredibly idiotic and blatantly racist story for their star.
In this case, art seems to imitate life, as the screenwriter acting as Harry and Al's foil could easily be a surrogate for Falzone himself, who wrote the script in a non-stop two hour inspired blitz. While at Ragdale, an artist resort in Lake Forest, Falzone wrote Typing not as his central work, but rather as an exercise to cleanse his creative palate. Fresh off the first draft of a full-length feature script, Falzone needed do something to distance himself from his work before beginning a second draft. Drawing on his vast experience working on films, plays and operas, Falzone employed a creative technique to get a fresh perspective, a device he calls a 'word play.' "I give myself exactly two hours, and I think of a word and I just start writing a script that examines every conceivable angle of that word. I have two hours and ten pages on my hands, and I just go."
Having just committed two of his three cardinal sins on his feature script (making a mafia comedy and treading on stereotypes), Ron threw caution to the wind and broke his final rule by writing a story about Hollywood. With no time to be bogged down by writer's block, Falzone constructed a script that he recognized was special from the onset. From the first line, he "felt completely comfortable with these two guys. One of the things that's so great about writing is that ability all writers have to settle inside the heads of their characters. And that's what I wanted to do with these two, is put them in a position with something I understood."
Falzone has come to make a career of writing about, and experiencing, the difficulties of inspiration his characters face in Typing. According to Falzone, seventy-five percent of his scripts deal with characters in the throes of a creative crisis. That makes the irony of Typing, that a film centering on the futility of writing being tackled by a writer without so much as a creative hiccup, so much more pronounced. "Well, I always say I put the 'Ron' in irony."
In his career, Falzone has become all too familiar with the inevitable mental tumbleweeds associated with his work. In fact, the screenplay for his historical drama, Coriander and a Penny's Worth of Lonesome, about the funeral of silent screen star Rudolph Valentino, took 27 years to complete the first draft. Thinking about that moment in history every week over the span of those years, Falzone opted to patiently wait, mining for the golden moment when his historical research matched up with the theme he was committed to examining. "As soon as that happened, all the sudden I knew who my characters were, the plot hook, I knew everything I needed to know. Then it was just a matter of having fun putting it on paper."
Given the long process of making Coriander, which Falzone is currently adapting into an opera, the two hours it took to make Typing take on added impressiveness. Despite how harmoniously the theme of artistic stagnation and the historical context of 1939 Hollywood married together, though, Typing dwelled in Ron's folders for years. Having previously considered entering the piece into one-act festivals, Falzone only started to see Typing breathe with life when his good friend and former directing class pupil, Jack Newell, began raiding through his work in search of something that the two could collaborate on. From the moment he began looking, though, Ron had a strong sense which script Jack would chose. His hunch proved prophetic as the two began filming Typing in 2010, the first project under their new partnership, Zaxie Films. So impressed with the polished script was Newell that the director made no demands for rewrites, as every word written in that pivotal two hours appeared as-is on screen.
After completing the short, the co-partners entered Typing into the Chicago Film Festival and were later accepted. The new role of exhibiting artist was a slightly strange departure for Falzone, who previously served as a volunteer on the education committee for the festival in years past.
Despite the success of Typing, though, Falzone has refused to rest on his laurels. Zaxie Films is currently in the finishing stages of their second film, which finds the screenwriter with an even more daunting task than in Typing, writing a script to be performed in an improv style by actors in the Chicago community.
And as for his other 'word play' exercises? Ron has merged them all into one feature, Loop'd, which was recently optioned by a director from Texas.

Ron was hands down the best teacher I had as a film student at Columbia College Chicago.
Actually, there was one very important change as we went from script to screen. Jack Newell asked me to add animations. At first, I had no idea what he was talking about. When he explained, I kicked myself because I hadn't thought of it. The projection of the animated versions of Harry and Al's archetypal fantasies on the wall really made the cinematic side of the story come alive. Thank God for having a terrific director.

Hireling Preacher
Hireling Preacher
As we think about seeking a co-worker at Troy lets make sure our attitude is right. I understand that there are questions that need to be asked, please read the article. KP
Hireling Preachers
By Rod Ross
For whom does a preacher work? Is he hired to work for the local congregation and do their bidding? Or is the preacher supported by the congregation as he does the work of God?
At first glance, for most people these seems to be asking the same question in two different ways. Ideally, they would be. However, they approach the position of the preacher from two different directions.
Take a look again at these questions:
For whom does the preacher work?
When Paul speaks to Timothy about his responsibility and work as a preacher and/or evangelist, in both of his letters to Timothy he uses the phrase "I charge you before God" (1 Timothy 5:21; 2 Timothy 4:1). It is a responsibility before God to "do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of your ministry" (2 Timothy 4:5). He is working for God (1 Corinthians 9:16).
Is he hired to work for the local congregation and do their bidding?
This is the concept of many churches. They ask for applications like they are hiring a clerk for the local hardware store. They list a criteria of qualifications which would eliminate most if not all of the evangelists of the New Testament, the apostles of Jesus Christ, and the Savior, himself: education, marital status, children, prison record, level of eloquence, and ability to get along with everyone.
Education is a wonderful thing. However, it depends upon what your education taught you. A preacher needs to be educated in the Word of God. Does that mean a degree from a seminary? A doctorate may be impressive on a resume, but it can have no bearing on whether the individual may "speak as the oracles of God."
I spoke to a seminary student in Arizona several years ago who although he had obtained a bachelor's and master's degrees and was working on his doctorate, had never read the New Testament, let alone the Bible, all the way through.
I have recently run into former preachers of the truth, who because of their seminary education have left the truth.
Does a college education or a preacher training school education necessarily give the proper education? Depends upon the school and the student.
Does forty years of studying the Bible give the proper education? Can the proper instruction be received from God's Word? Unquestionably, it is the proper subject, but again it depends upon the student.
Even those instructed by the apostles did not always have the proper concept of the truth – not because they were taught wrong, but because of the heart of the student.
Marital status should be scriptural – whether it is single (as were Paul and Timothy) or married (as was Peter). The idea of team preaching with husband and wife is contrary to scriptural precedent.
I was once asked what my wife will do to support my ministry. I asked what their wives did.
Their reply was you are not hiring us. I replied, you are not hiring my wife.
The idea is that the church can dictate what the wife will do because she is part of "the package deal." I realize that preacher's wives have created problems, but so have members' wives.
We want someone with children. Why? So your children will have someone to play with? This idea doesn't make sense.
If the local church was given an application that included an arrest record of several occasions where jail time was assessed they would drop it quicker than a hot potato. Would they hire Paul?
Eloquence is nice. Apollos was eloquent; but Paul was not. Eloquence does not equal knowledge nor effectiveness. Truthfulness to the word is preferable.
The ability to get along with others – at what cost? Preaching the truth – from the prophets to the apostles – upset people. Preaching the truth still upsets people. Read the Gospels. Read the Book of Acts. Read 2 Corinthians 4:1-5:21. Do we want the truth or peace at any price?
Yes, there is a need for amiability – but not at the cost of the truth. The wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable.
Congregations hire preachers to do what they want done. Many times, way too many times, that means their attitude is like my doctor in Arizona: he hired his preacher to do his religion.
Churches hire preachers to practice their Christianity for them. He is to visit the sick. He is to help the poor. He is to teach the lost. He is to do everything they are supposed to do: after all, they pay him don't they. He is the slave of the church, and of every member in particular, to jump at their bidding.
In addition to these scriptural services, he is also to provide an entertainment service for the children and the adults, acting as an activities director. He directs camps, holds parties, schedules trips (shopping and sight-seeing for the adults – ski trips, movies, white water rafting and amusement parks for the kids of all ages). He is also to act as athletic director and coach for golf, softball, volleyball, soccer and basketball teams. Can you see Paul, Barnabas, Apollos, Peter, Timothy or Titus doing this in the scriptures?
And then we wonder why his sermons are so shallow, and he does not spend more time in preparation. And why doesn't he spend more time with his wife and children?
He is begrudged any time preaching the gospel for meetings and revivals. He is being paid to work for the local congregation.
He needs to account for every minute of every day, and must work a minimum of six days per week, twelve hours per day, because if he expects others to work their jobs and do "church work" too, he must set an example. And Sundays and Wednesday nights may not count towards that because everyone is to be there anyway.
And all of this ought to be done on less than any of the members take home. They don't stop to think of the 20% social security that comes out of the check, the state and local and federal tax (including the fair rental value of the home "provided for free"), the need for retirement and health insurance and life insurance, the cost of maintaining the knowledge they want him to have, the cost of operating his vehicle for business use, the lack of equity and security and freedom created by living in a church supplied house (which increases the social security). Not to mention the aggravation of living in a home that half the congregation believes is their home and tell you how to clean, decorate and arrange the furniture: not to mention that they feel free to schedule everything in "the church's home."
Or is the preacher supported by the congregation as he does the work of God?
With this approach the preacher and the congregation work together to do the work of God.
He and they are the servants of God, the ministers of God. Neither one "works" for the other, both work for God and serve one another.
The primary consideration for the church is the soundness of the preacher: does he teach the truth in love, proclaiming the whole counsel of God. Does he fill the responsibility that God has given to the preacher and/or evangelist (2 Corinthians 4:1-7; 2 Timothy 4:1-5; etc.)
Qualification are to be "If any one purifies himself from what is ignoble, then he will be a vessel for noble use, consecrated and useful to the master of the house, ready for any good work. So shun youthful passions and aim at righteousness, faith, love, and peace, along with those who call upon the Lord from a pure heart. Have nothing to do with stupid, senseless controversies; you know that they breed quarrels. And the Lord's servant must not be quarrelsome but kindly to everyone, an apt teacher, forbearing, correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant that they will repent and come to know the truth, and they may escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will.
(2Ti 2:21-26)
The church, then, rather than looking at someone who works for them, looks at someone who is working with them, whom they will support and help.
Let him who is taught the word share all good things with him who teaches.
(Gal 6:6 RSV)
The preacher is not the hireling of the church; he is a preacher of the glorious gospel of Jesus Christ – a co-worker for the Lord, no better, but no worse than any other member of the church.
"and not all are children of Abraham because they are his descendants; but "Through Isaac shall your descendants be named." This means that it is not the children of the flesh who are the children of God, but the children of the promise are reckoned as descendants. For this is what the promise said, "About this time I will return and Sarah shall have a son." And not only so, but also when Rebecca had conceived children by one man, our forefather Isaac, though they were not yet born and had done nothing either good or bad, in order that God's purpose of election might continue, not because of works but because of his call, she was told, "The elder will serve the younger." As it is written, "Jacob I loved, but Esau I hated." What shall we say then? Is there injustice on God's part? By no means! For he says to Moses, "I will have mercy on whom I have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I have compassion." So it depends not upon man's will or exertion, but upon God's mercy. For the scripture says to Pharaoh, "I have raised you up for the very purpose of showing my power in you, so that my name may be proclaimed in all the earth." So then he has mercy upon whomever he wills, and he hardens the heart of whomever he wills. You will say to me then, "Why does he still find fault? For who can resist his will?"
(Rom 9:7-19 RSV)
He is to fulfill his duty to God. That is his concern: to instruct saint and sinner in the Word of the Lord. If he does this, he has not time for frivolous matters.

text: Well, got my CHAdeMO adapter yesterday (I was # 205 on the waitlist), and just had a chance to try it out. Thought I would share my initial impressions. Key takeaways - 1) SOOO much better than charging with a standard Level-2 charger. 2) some weird, but acceptable differences between charging with Level-3/CHAdeMO stations vs Level-2 3) There are (in the Bay Area, CA) quite a number of Level-3 chargers out there, but some don't work 4) the pricing to charge is pretty exorbitant, but probably worth it. Unboxing the adapter was pretty uneventful. It comes with an instruction card, the adapter itself, and that's it. The adapter is pretty big. If you don't have rear seats it will fit nicely under the floor in the rear trunk. I do have rear seats, and the adapter still fits in there with the seats folded down, but it would be in the way if I were using the seats. The adapter is too big to fit in the cubby on the side where I put the mobile charging adapter. The frunk is another option, but with the P85D the frunk is also limited so the adapter takes an annoying amount of space. Still, the Model S has a lot of space so it is a relatively small issue. Last night after work, I tried going to two Level-3 chargers, and was unsuccessful. The first was a Nissan sponsored charger at a mall. When I got there the charger was in some error state and wouldn't do anything. It had nothing to do with the adapter. I tried again at a grocery store a few miles away, but that adapter was an eVgo adapter and despite signing up online, I needed a fob which hasn't come in the mail yet. This morning, I went to work where we have a Blink Level-3 charger and tried away. I had a few problems getting it going. First, if you want to use the charge port open button on the adapter, it needs to be plugged the adapter needs to be plugged into the charging station to get power. However, then the charging station doesn't recognize it when you plug the adapter into the car. As such, you have to re-plug the charging station into the adapter after it is plugged into the car. This pretty much makes the charge port open button on the adapter useless, but since the new Model S charge ports can be opened by pressing them, it is not a big deal. Once plugged in, I then realized you have to spend some time (with the Blink Level 3 charger at least), telling the charging station what you want to do. This is different than Level 2 stations where you just plug in and go. The Level 3 charging station talks to the car and knows the car's level of charge. It asks you then what level you want to charge the car at. This is redundant because the car has it's own charge limit. It appears that the car stops at whichever limit comes first (the car's or what you set at the charger), so it makes sense to me to just tell the charger to always charge station to 100% and continue to control the limit from the car. Once I figured all that out, I started to charge, only to have the whole thing error out. I have no idea what caused this and it happened 3 more times. I set the charging limit on the station to 80% and tried again and this time it worked. However, it worked on subsequent attempts regardless of what limit I set and I haven't seen the error return. In any event, once it got going, the charging station I was using started making quite a bit of noise (cooling fan), and off we went. This was a standard Level 3 charger. My charing output started at 42kw and slowly inched up to 47kw. For a P85D, this works out to a peak of 148 rated miles/hr. Pretty awesome. Since charging at work on a level-2 charger gives me roughly 17 mi/hr, this is about 8.5x faster (note: something is weird with rated mile calcs because the charging output of a level-2 charger is 6kw and 47/6 = 7.8x more power, yet 148/17 = 8.7x more rated mileage. Haven't quite figured that out. Anyway, the car is still charging, but it looks like it is going to go from 27% to 90% in just about one hour. A few other notes: There are no start/stop charge controls on the mobile device when using the level-3 charger. This is both with Tesla's app as well as Blink's. So, if the car stops charging for whatever reason, you have to go back out to the car to start it up again. You can stop the car from charging, but you have to use the charge limit to do so. There is also no estimated time to complete on the mobile app. Where I live, there are a lot of level 3 chargers so this whole thing is very complimentary to the supercharging network. I generally don't use superchargers due to their location and the fact that I don't do a lot of road trips on the car, but with this charging adapter, I can definitely see driving my car in more distance scenarios. The only issue, is that a level 3 charger is not cheap. Most of the charging rates I saw were between $0.50 and $0.65 per kwh. If the average charging session is 45Kwh, that is between $20/$30 a charging session which is not cheap. Still, the convenience it enables is probably worth it. Given the availability of charging stations where I live, this will definitely increase the driving range for me of the car. Overall, I feel pretty good about the $450 investment.

I've been working on a interview project with Deborah at 32 Poems magazine, and she kindly allowed me to interview past contributors to the magazine. We will be posting the interviews throughout the coming months, and our second interview posted on Deborah's Poetry Blog of 32 Poems on Feb. 5.
I'm going to provide you with a snippet from the interview, but if you want to read the entire interview, I'll provide you a link for that as well.
For now, let me introduce to you 32 Poems contributor, Eric Pankey:
1. Not only are you a contributor to 32 Poems, you also have a published book, Cenotaph, and in an interview with Bold Type you mentioned you once wanted to be a visual artist. Would you ever consider melding the two forms–visual art and poetry? Also as a poet and professor, what "hat" do you find most difficult to wear and why?
I try to keep the poetry and visual arts separate. Each allows me a different kind of articulation, a different kind of vision.
This last year I had the good fortune to have visual artwork in several juried shows across the country. With the visual work I am just now, at almost fifty, moving out of the amateur realm and trying my hand at the professional realm. I am feeling the same thrill and excitement I felt half my life ago when my first book was accepted for publication.
I tend to be a social creature and the writing of poems happens most often in solitude. The work of teaching gives me community and conversation and that stimulation often leads me to long once again for the solitude of writing. And then the cycle repeats.
2. Poetry is often considered elitist or inaccessible by mainstream readers. Do poets have an obligation to dispel that myth and how do you think it could be accomplished?
I am not sure what a "mainstream reader" is.
I do not, for instance, read contemporary plays and really only read novels in the summer, but that is not because I find them elitist or inaccessible. I find it more pleasurable to read poetry, art history, and general nonfiction.
I think people read what they find pleasurable. Pleasure is one of the purposes of poetry.
Some people like the surface of the poetry they read to be complex, dense, and even hermetic. Some like a surface that is transparent, clear, uncluttered. Some like poetry that is laugh-out-loud funny. Some people like deeply brooding poetry. I think the variety of American poetry is great and that there is poetry out there for all sorts of tastes.
3. How do you stay fit and healthy as a writer?
Sometimes my dog will take me for a walk, but mostly I am out of shape.
Eric Pankey was born on February 25, 1959 in Kansas City, Missouri, the son of James A. and Frances Pankey both of whom were accountants. In 1985 he married Jennifer Atkinson a writer whose papers are also in Special Collections. Pankey obtained degrees from the University of Missouri at Columbia, B.S., 1981 and the University of Iowa, M.F.A., 1983. He taught at Washington University from 1987 to 1996 and is now Professor of English at George Mason University in Washington, D.C. He was awarded the Walt Whitman Award from the Academy of American Poets in 1984 for his collection, For the New Year. Since then he has written other books including his collections, Heartwood: Poems (1988), The Late Romances: Poems (1997), Apocrypha: Poems (1991) and Cenotaph (2000). His work has been supported by fellowships from The Ingram Merrill Foundation, The National Endowment for the Arts, and The John Simon Guggenheim Memorial.

This weekend was our wedding anniversary. With Valentine's day around the corner, I decided to make something special, romantic!
After all, it is rightly said, " the road to a man's heart is through his stomach"!
As usual, everything with me has to be healthy, quick and easy but delicious! This is one of my original recipes, which means that I came up with this recipe and that it was not adapted from anyplace. I am happy to state that this was a successful experiment as everyone who ate it was all praises. You could pair it with cilantro chutney or you could pair it with the good old tomato ketchup. I liked both.
This recipe could be gluten free if you substitute sooji ( cream of wheat) with cornmeal. Instead of rolling the cutlet in rawa, I added the sooji rawa in the batter to make it crispy. Notice that I also did not use starchy potatoes in this recipe.
Do give this recipe a try, I bet that you will like it!
Servings: makes 10-12 medium sized cutlets
Beetroot: 1, medium-sized, cooked until tender.
Mixed vegetables: 2 cups ( I used the frozen mix of peas, carrots, green beans and corn)
Cauliflower florets: 1 & 1/2 cups
Ginger garlic paste: 1 tsp
Green chilli: 1-2, finely chopped ( adjust as per individual spice level).
Coriander leaves: 1 tbsp, chopped
Garam masala: 1/2 tsp ( optional)
Cornflour: 1 tbsp
Sooji rawa ( cream of wheat/farina): 1/4 cup ( for gluten free option, use cornmeal).
Salt to taste
Water to boil the vegetables.
Olive oil to grease the skillet/griddle.
Boil the whole beetroot with the peel on, until tender ( around 30 mins on stovetop, faster in the pressure cooker). Keep aside.
Cook the mixed vegetables and the washed cauliflower florets with water and a pinch of salt, on the stovetop until tender ( about 15 mins). Drain and keep aside.
Peel the cooled beetroot. Grate it. Squeeze the excess water out and add it to a mixing bowl.
To this, add the cooked & drained cauliflower and mixed vegetables. Using a potato masher, mash the mixture as much as possible.
Add ginger garlic paste, chopped green chillies, garam masala powder, chopped coriander leaves, cornflour, sooji ( cream of wheat or cornmeal) , salt and mix well.
Take 2 heaped tbsp of the prepared batter and using wet hands make a patty. Using a heart-shaped cookie cutter, cut out the "heart" shape from the patty. Do this to all available batter.
Heat a griddle/skillet on medium until hot. Grease it using olive oil. Place the prepared heart shaped cutlets on the griddle/skillet.
Cook for 5-7 minutes on low flame. Flip and cook for another 5-7 minutes or until the outside is lightly golden.
Serve hot with ketchup or cilantro chutney/dip.
I am bringing these hearts to my friends at Throwback Thursday #25, Fiesta Friday #106 and Saucy Saturdays.Angie's Fiesta Friday co-hosts this week are Steffi @ Ginger & Bread and Andrea @ Cooking With a Wallflower.
This recipe is perfect for the lunch-box for the kids too..
Cooking made easy:
My batter was slightly runny and therefore not firm enough to shape into "hearts". I therefore placed the cookie-cutter on the griddle and added the batter inside the cookie-cutter, thus creating the " heart" shapes. You can follow this technique if you face a similar issue.
Tip for healthy living:
Beets are extremely nutrient-rich.They are purported to increase blood flow in the body, reduce blood pressure and increase endurance.
It contains potassium,magnesium, iron, vitamins A, B6 and C, folic acid, carbohydrates, protein,antioxidants and soluble fibre. Include beets regularly in your diet.
Food for thought:
Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier. Mother Theresa

The Self-regulation Ability of China's Economic Can't be Discounted
In the past we always worry about the policy can not remove the production capacity, and overcapacity long-term suppression the growth of economic. Shinestar Group believes that from the view of operation, it is optimistic, because many industries have been over through the power of the market to get a clear market, which allows us to have confidence in the future economy.
As a supplier of spiral pipe, spiral steel pipe, 3pe anticorrosive spiral pipe, large diameter spiral pipe, double-sided submerged arc spiral welded pipe, open flat and other products, Shinestar Group think that achieved good result in the past year, which makes the whole enterprise, the entire industry are full of fighting spirit and momentum.
However, there are some deviations: from the view of production capacity, overcapacity is a global problem, also for production capacity, but in 2016, China face the situation that the global nature of production and administrative to the production capacity of two factors together, resulting in a relatively large degree of administrative intervention in the industry has increase in prices, such as coal and steel prices.
From the view of leverage, we have experienced several rounds of leverage after 2012, most of the asset bubble to the last tragic market, the whole society ended with big pay. For example, in 2013, we saw the against non-standard business to force commercial banks to adjust the balance sheet, which leads to the money shortage. 2014 stock market start of the main board, in 2015 to clean up the capital to the lever to become the June issue of the fuse line. Bond market has not yet completed, we have already seen the end of 2016 bond market has been the outbreak of a drastic adjustment, we named it as the volatility, the volatility may happen again in 2017, the financial leverage still not finish, the bond market Of volatility will be unavoidable.
From the view of cost reduction, the cost of business income per hundred dollars from a single year to see a certain degree of decline in revenue,it is per hundred dollars reduced two cents in cost. Our corporate burden is not only tax and fees, but also includes some system costs, and academic institutions to calculate the macro tax burden is not high, but the actual burden of the enterprise is very heavy. In the situation of economic downturn and corporate earnings deterioration, if the cost of taxes and fees have not been effectively mitigated, it will a heavy pressure on the enterprise. From the micro-research point of view, there are some companies the burden increasing, some companies have to leave the market, but this situation is still continue, so the cost of this situation and the original policy design is deviated from the original intention.
The production capacity at 2016 is global, the performance of Chinese enterprises is particularly prominent, the Chinese economy's self-regulation ability can not be discounted. The future, Shinestar Group will take the development opportunities, and constantly upgrade themselves to produce more high-quality spiral pipe, spiral steel pipe, scaffolding prop, large diameter spiral pipe, double-sided submerged arc spiral welded pipe, open flat and other products to develop China's economy.
