text: These three images represent three people that have had great influence on my journey to aspire to design and create works of art. In year 9 my textiles and design teacher Ruth Bucknell had the biggest influence on me and the way that I saw design. She was my teacher for 4 years and showed helped me to recognize my passion for design. Dior is someone that I aspire to be like, he has a unique way of creating elegance in a simplistic way. Lastly Beethoven has influenced me, especially with his piece Fur Elise because the way that the music is written pulls on the listeners emotions.

I was feeling overwhelmed, discouraged and pulled in a million directions. I'd gotten my hopes up about getting lots of writing done at the beach and just being renewed. Although I did get to spend some sweet time with Jesus and write a little, all kinds of things were going on back at home and in my head to interrupt my grand intentions and usher in disappointment. It was the kind of stuff that can get a hold of your heels and drag you into a pit.
I knew I didn't have to go there. It was not part of God's plans, nor mine. I had a choice but my heart had already packed her bags and was on her way.
So, I had to get bossy with her! In the midst of processing that one of my dearest friends might have ovarian cancer and that it's not possible for me to meet my May 1st book deadline, I had to tell my soul praise the Lord!! Not just a surface-like "say your bedtime prayers" talk to my soul. No, this was a deep down preach it to my inmost being GOD-IS-GOOD no matter what sermon!
I had to boss my discouraged heart with God's truth and pull her away from the pit by reminding her to "forget not all His benefits."
Then I walked her down memory lane... reminding her that He is the One who...
redeems (my) life from the pit
and crowns (me) with love and compassion,
who satisfies my desires with good things
so that my youth is renewed like the eagle's.
(I'm not sure how the young eagle thing plays out in everyday life but it's a promise so I praised Him for it.)
When my heart started remembering all HIS benefits, she backed away from the pit and found another dwelling place - smack dab in the center of living and trusting God's sovereignty over all things.
Praise the LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits;

who has just thrown me out of our home and kids as she seeks comfort in another man. I feel so lost and lonely, our children of 15, 10, 6 my heart bleeds, they are so scared of the unfortunate events and its depressing all of us. We have been through so much then this..
Oh good GOD, I love this girl so much as I did in 1996..until I depart this earthly life. I ask for a miracle that she may she find peace and reason in her mind, and may she be touched by the PRECIOUS BLOOD OF BABY JESUS in her heart.

How nice is this !? I get up when I want, I stay up as long as I want, I do what I want, I walk out where and when I want. Apparently it's called 'retirement', and I am finally beginning to understand what it entails !
A few weeks have now past without me having to attend to any walling work. There is an outstanding job awaiting my attention and sooner now rather than later, I'm going to have to get on it; it needs to be completed by the end of the year which really means before Christmas. That has been somewhat fortuitous given the state of play, wind and rain has been incessant, thus it has been a grateful Welshwaller who has either stayed indoors or gone and satiated other needs.
It is actually coincidental that much of my 'wandering' has involved water; inland water which holds various memories and fascinations.
My first sojourn took me to a place I visit fairly often, or used to. This year I seem to have had very few encounters with the quiet waters of Llangorse Lake in the south of the old county of Breconshire.
It is both historic in my life and in the story of man in that part of Wales. I have often recounted in this blog, my visits to the old Elizabethan manor house of Ty Mawr, the home of my friends at Ty Mawr lime. (As I wrote back in August, the lady of the house, Joyce, is, as I write, following in the footsteps of the first Welsh settlers to Patagonia) There is history all around the shores of the lake, much of it, I'm certain, still to be discovered and interpreted.
For example, the very name throws up some questions in my mind as to the accuracy of much of the perceived wisdom of historical origins. History records the lake under the name 'Brecenanmere' which is to say 'the sea of Brecon'. In Welsh it is known as Llyn Syfaddyn' and it is that name with which it was known throughout much of the medieval period. In fact it was not until the nineteenth century that the name Llangorse came into common parlance. It bears some examination as an eponymous title. The nearby village of that name is not really that historic, it was in fact a Norman 'planted' village, which is to say it was an example of town planning commonly employed by the French overlords once they had subdued the locals in about 1067. Instead of the scattered farmsteads of the natives, the 'Welshry', with their associated dispersed field strips or 'Rhandirs' and the inherent inefficiencies of agricultural production, the Normans simply rebuilt the farms in a cluster around a church, a pond, a smithy and an ale house, of course. The village core usually had a cross roads (and was thus often built at a strategic confluence of routes or rivers, fords and defensive sites). Llangorse village is an excellent example of such planted villages (as are the nearby villages of Llanwern, Llanfihangel Talyllyn and Llanfilo) with its five farms, church, pubs and 'burgages', the shops of their day. But it is the name which is interesting; the Llan is often associated with the extant church, generally an original Norman (or a few centuries later) but the term actually refers to the enclosure in which the church is sited. Llan sites can often be much earlier constructions and are often thought to be the sites of very early Christian monastic cells. The second element of the name is often the name of the Saint (usually an early Celtic Saint) but can sometimes be a reference to the geography in which it is placed. Such is the case with Llangorse; the prefix is clear but the second element is a mutated form of the word 'Cors' which is generally taken to mean a very boggy or wet parcel of land (as in Cors Caron, the 8 mile long bog at the head of the river Teifi in Cardiganshire). Therein lies my question; the village to which that name is appended is not at all in a wet place, far from it, the farmland which surrounds the planted village is excellent well draining sandstone soil of proven fertility. Most academics presume the name of the village is taken from the name of the nearby lake but that must be erroneous as the lake was not known by that name at the time the village was created.
There is however, a church which does sit in a boggy place and what's more, it sits right on the shore of the lake; indeed it is surrounded by the lake at times of high water. That church bears the name of a little recorded Celtic Saint, Castyn (in fact it is the only site which bears his name). The little Llangasty church sits amongst the rushes on the western shore of the lake. To my thinking IT is the 'llan cors' which historic documents record.
Now in one sense it is no matter, after all, time has determined that the village of Llangorse is deemed to be named after the lake and that somehow the Welsh description must apply to the church in the village. So much so that many archaeological explorations and digs, including the famous Time Team and the 'not-so-famous' experts from the National Museum of Wales and Oxford University, have spent hundreds of hours and pounds searching for lost buildings and 'finds'.
Much of that searching has been for the site of an abbey, a mention of which occurs in the C6th Charter granting a large amount of land to the Bishop of 'Llancors'. The six thousand or so acres of land was enclosed by a large earth bank some of which I have been able to locate on the slopes above the village (close-by is the farm Cwrt y Prior). The assumption has always been, reinforced by a suspicion (for it is no more than that in reality) that the llan of the church in the village is of a mainly circular form (suggesting possible early, if not pre Christian, occupation), and that the abbey is in that locality. Indeed a circular field on the nearby common, which itself joins the lake shore, has also been much investigated. Surprise, surprise, they haven't yet found anything.
The site to my mind, is more likely to be on the western side of the lake, somewhere near Castyn's little monastic cell or Clas. In fact there are massive foundations in the field adjacent to the manor of Ty Mawr, a few hundred yards from Llangasty, which, to my in-experienced eye, should be investigated. The stone-work seems far too immense in size and construction to have been merely the foundation of the Elizabethan manor for which they are presumed to have been built.
Then there is the Crannog issue. Much excitement and thousands of hours of interpretation (thinking and writing) has been expended on the little island which sits some thirty metres from the east shore of the lake. It came back into public conscience in the middle of the C19th when a lowering of the lake water level saw it emerge from the dark water. At the same time a dug-out canoe was exhumed from the muddy foreshore. The crannog is a man made island made up of various layers of hazel and stones and surrounded by oak paling driven into the lake bed. It is a common construction on the lakes of Ireland and is presumed to be a fairly early, maybe even pre Roman, type of structure. The Llangorse crannog is thought to have been the site of a 'palace' which King Brychan (the eponymous ruler of Brycheiniog) had built for his Irish wife. He came to Wales after the end of the Roman period, sometime in the C5th but was actually the son of an Irish king and a Welsh (not that Wales existed then !) mother. He occupied lands in the Garthmadryn domain (Trecastle area of west Breconshire) and it is there that many standing stones with the Irish ogham inscriptions were found (and now reside in the museum in Brecon). To my mind it seems a little small for a weekend condo on the lake. Finds from the site include quite valuable items such as slate rings and Persian silks, all of which have contributed to the notion of a royal palace. The little island certainly was built well, it was still there in AD916 when an Anglo Saxon crazy woman called Athelflaed (daughter of Arthur, King of Wessex) attacked it and supposedly burned the palace.
Brychan himself is supposed to have had a couple of punch-ups around the lake, most notably with a bunch of Cornish hooligans led by one King Arthur. Indeed it has been suggested the whole 'Sword in the Stone' malarky happened on this very lake.
The problem with the 'Excalibur'tale is,"which one to be believe!" (If any !) I get very confused – did 'he' just heave it out of the stone or did he go into the water and take it off the damsel who was holding it aloft out of the water ? The 'Lady of the Lake' story seems to be more of a 'Welsh' idea (we being slightly less sexist and machoistic …ahem) and the 'tough guy' 'Arnie' type Arthur, who just ripples the old biceps and out it pops, is more Cornish/ English. Who knows ? Who cares !? Whatever, it is a clever bit of 'Touristic license' and is certainly an attractive piece of public sculpture.
'As they rode Arthur said "I have no sword". "No force", said Merlin, "hereby is a sword and it shall be yours, and I may". So they rode 'til they came to a lake, the which was a fair and broad, and in the midst of the lake Arthur was ware of an arm clothed in white samite, that held a fair sword in that hand. "Lo", said Merlin, "yonder is that sword that I spoke of". With that they saw a damosel going upon the lake. "What damosel is that?" said Arthur. "That is the Lady of the Lake", said Merlin.'
There is another interesting link to Llangorse and the crannog finds that often crosses my mind whilst I sit looking out at the little island. The church of Llangorse village is dedicated to St. Paulinus (unfortunately there are two of those and no-one is certain which one is which). Paulinus roamed between Brittany, Cornwall and Wales and is honoured in many churches. His life story (St. Pol de Leon) is interesting and it seems he was a Roman nobleman. But he disappears from history and the last reference tells of him going to live 'on an island in the sea'. No-one knows where that 'sea' was but given that right up until his disappearance he was active in the areas of Carmarthenshire and Breconshire, given that in the centuries in which he lived the lake was known as the 'sea of Brycheiniog', given that the rich silks and rings found in the silts around the crannog (an island !) came from the east …. might it just be that it was the Llangorse crannog that was Paulinus' last domain ? After all, why else should the church bear his name and surely even Brychan was not so 'connected' he could buy his wife expensive gifts from the orient ? But who am I to come up with such silly suggestions !?
I have enjoyed the still waters of Llangorse lake since my childhood days. My uncle Bryn had a small rowing boat to which a two stroke Seagull engine was attached and once or twice each summer he would take myself and some other boys, all of whom worked Saturday jobs in the grocery/bakery shop that my grandfather, uncles, mother and aunts worked in and owned (B. Deakin & Sons of Five Locks Road, Pontnewydd), on an outing. Of course to a young boy the lake seemed enormous and it took forever for us to row or motor around it. The favourite part was when we cut the motor, just on the edge of the massively tall reed beds on the south west tip of the lake, and proceeded to punt our way into them using the wooden oars. I well remember we all felt we were following in the wake of the 'African Queen' (which I suppose was a 'newly released' film back then !) and ultimately uncle Bryn would have to get out aka Bogart, and haul us off the mud banks back out of the rushes to deeper water. The noisy speed-boats which hauled their skiers around the lake in those days were, to us, the German patrol boats, and we imagined how we would ram them and blow them from the water !
We always entered the lake on the small beach next to Llangasty church, little did I imagine that years later I would still be intrigued by that tranquil sheet of water and that small round stone enclosure. I eventually had that small boat given to me and continued to take it out on the lake, by then as a fisherman, often with my father on board. Even when I was able to drive myself to the lake I was still hauling the boat out of the reeds where I used to hide it throughout the Spring and Summer months. Fishing the lake was a sublime activity especially in the early light of dawn when the mist sat across the water. One really strange and somewhat spooky event happened on such a June morning. I rowed the boat out toward what I judged to be the middle of the lake for the mist was so thick I could not see but a few yards. The red ball of the dawn sun guided me to the east and when I adjudged I had gone far enough – deeper water was my goal for therein lay my quarry, the spiky finned Perch – I dropped the little anchor and set-to with my tackle. Quietly the little craft drifted around so that I was casting my bait on the side which faced back to the western shore and Llangasty. After an hour or so I became aware of an occasional 'plop' behind me, each time making me jump a little. On and on it went, probably at a half hour interval or so. As the sun rose and the mist began to burn away I began to see the tower of the little church and could at last see the da-glo tip of my little float as it bobbed in the still water. "Good morning !" I fell over backwards into the bottom of the boat such was I startled. Looking behind me I saw another fisherman, his boat but six feet from mine, in fact so close had we been casting toward each other we should certainly have hooked ourselves ! Amazingly he had rowed out from the eastern shore, a much greater distance than I had come and somehow, in the impenetrable gloom of the dawn mist, we had set anchor in such proximity ! The damnation of it was that he had been catching fish whereas I had not ! How we laughed, how our laughs turned to consternation when we realised we could have collided and both ended up in the water. In the days before safety concerns we neither of us had any buoyancy jackets,no, just thick heavy clothing and Wellington boots !
There is another sheet of still water which, although much smaller, is equally as enchanting and possibly more mysterious. In a secluded hollow off a quiet lane in the parish of Nantmel, hidden behind a block of conifers, lies Llyn Gwyn. Confusingly another lake of similar size lies just outside the mid Wales town of Rhayder but it is named Gwyn Llyn ! Now the llyn element is simply 'lake' but the 'gwyn' is a matter of some debate. It can mean variously,'white', 'fair' or 'holy'. It sometimes appears that historians use whichever meaning suits their argument but I have to say that the notion of 'white' is too often applied. I think in a geographical application the word may well relate to a 'fair' or hospitable setting, for instance facing the morning sun or in a sheltered spot. Often however, it is the 'holy' that can be missed. Holy that is in the sense of' 'spiritual' as well as connected to some Christian place. In the case of Llyn Gwyn many have assumed it to be an association with Abbey Cwm Hir which lies to the north. As the lake holds carp it is argued it was the fish pond of the abbey. That may well be so but given the paucity of fish species normally associated with monastic ponds it is open to question. Some have suggested the 'gwyn' relates to the use or ownership of the lake by the 'white' (Cistercian) monks of the abbey. It may just as easily denote a 'fair' or beautiful spot for that it surely is.
What intrigues me about this secret place is it's potential for pre-historic revelation. For one thing there is a substantial, (read 'massive') semi-circular earthwork which is marked on the O.S. map. It has a diameter of some 60 metres and is a good 5 metres high. On the 'outside' (i.e. away from the lake) there is a significant ditch which in winter is often filled with water. Whilst today the ends of the bank, which curves toward the lake, are some fifteen metres from the water's edge, it is possible the lake was higher in the distant past. That is suggested by some ancient dry stone walls which look as if they should terminate at the water but end some metres short.
Then there is the matter of a strange little island which sits in the middle of the lake toward the northern end. There is no apparent reason for such a feature in terms of geology; the basin in which the lake sits is of a rich clay deposit of some depth with only small boulders scattered in it. As far as I have been able to ascertain no research has ever been done on either feature. The earth bank is mentioned in records, the island is not and the whole is noted as the probable fish pond of the abbey. I want to get into the water and have a look at that island, could it just be another crannog !? It would be a sensible construction in that setting and may well be co-eval with the embankment Another mystery to solve in my dotage !
My other water wanderings have taken me over the hills to the great reservoirs of mid Wales, Llyn Brianne and the Elan Valley, but I think they will have to wait for a later posting. Welshwaller needs to get out and gather fuel 'ere the winter storms begin' ! More like 'ere they end', days of torrential rain and howling winds have had me cocooned in a shed or in front of a roaring log fire but food stores and fuel stores need replenishing. Oh yes, and a festival approaches, an appropriate one given all the religious elements in this post !
Tales from 1915:
Sunday 15th November. Bad night. Shelling of lines.
16th. In Mons, full of friends. Best time of all.
17th. Went back to Company.
18th. Working party afternoon
19th. Nothing doing beside feet growling. (term for pain of trench foot)
20th. Relieved Warwicks at (?). On guard in trench.
21st. Went on mining. Making bomb store.
22nd. Mining party.
23rd. Mining party.
24th. Mining party.
25th. Mining party. (It is not known if 'mining party' refers to underground digging or laying of mines)
26th. Left for Acheux to proceed on leave. Had a bath and change
27th. Entrained at Acheux at 3 pm arrived at Le Havre and got on boat at 7pm. Left for England at 12 o'clock.
28th. Arrived at Southampton. Arrived Newport via London at 3 pm and got home.
29th. Visited Pontnewydd *
(*Pontnewydd is my home village and where Uncle Dick's sisters lived)
30th. Visited Foundry (probably in Old Cwmbran where he used to work)
December 1st. Wednesday. Went to Pontypool.
2nd. Went to Newport and Risca and (?) concert at night.
3rd. Visited foundry and Pontnewydd. Stayed in at night.
4th. Left for London. 3 hours in London then boat to Boulogne from Folkestone. Stayed at camp in Boulogne at night.
Within two days Dick was back in the trenches "up to waist in water". That was his last time at home for nearly a year and ahead lay a very awful winter in the Somme salient. It is hard to imagine what it must have been like to have to operate in the sort of weather I'm looking at out of my window on this bleak last day of November 2015. A century ago to the day, my Great Uncle and millions more in all the Armies just had to sit it out and try to survive whilst carrying on fighting and digging and working. And dying in their thousands or being terribly wounded or gassed. Would they think it had all been worth it ?

The Strangest Thing
This afternoon I went to Whole Foods at 59th street/Columbus circle, right across the southwestern entrance to Central Park. I never go there on Sundays, but I did today, mostly because I know my kids' best friend, who has a terrible peanut/tree nut allergy, can eat the Whole Foods brand bread and we were out and I like to have it around. So, I was there and I brought my daughter grocery shopping, which I never do, either, and I was struggling into a cab with my big heavy (reusable) bags, and I looked across to the entrance to the park. Usually it's just pedicabs lined up there but today there were tents up for some kind of shopping venue. And among the shoppers I saw a clutch of people in navy t-shirts. I couldn't make out what they said at first -- they didn't look like Obama shirts. And then, as the cab rounded the fountain in the middle of Columbus circle I saw. They were McCain supporters. With, like, signs that said McCain. They may have even said McCain-Palin! I know that 59th street/Columbus circle is, like, the nexus of the upper west side and the fancy tourist district. I know it's also home to international financiers, what with the Time Warner building, Trump tower, and 15 Central Park West all right there. But still! It just never occured to me that a clutch of McCain voters would actually be out, like on the street, in New York City! Which just goes to show, even if you live in the bluest of the blue states, you still have to vote. No matter how blue you think you are. You must. Go blue!

From Ronda we follow our tablet instructions, even when the signs say otherwise. We are learning.
The road to Gibraltar winds seemingly endlessly down through the Sierra Nieva mountains. Needless to say we get collected by a couple of trucks grinding their way down, and join the snaking tail of traffic that accumulates like a procession. Occasionally there is a relatively straight stretch where a few cars can pass, only to be collected by the next one.
We finally descend out of the mountains, to a new vista – the tree-covered cliffs give way to hills covered with villas on private golf courses, any lake now is a man made challenge for the golfers, not an irrigation necessity. And the horizon is obscured by the dense layer of smog that blankets the increasingly urban. coastal area.
We continue on onto the road that follows the coast round, the Rock rearing up in front of us. There's a long line of cars, and an empty lane, so despite my misgivings, W drives up the empty lane.
Sure enough it isn't long before we realise we need to be in that lane, a fortuitous space left by a tourist bus allows us entry. But the next time he tries this manoeuvre, it is to be quickly put in place in the queue.
We crawl our way to the border and customs area, where we don't even get a glance from the spanish guardia, but a very English sounding official on the other side wants our passports. We are waved through; the 'goods-to-declare' lane is closed.
Next to us in a separate path, an endless stream of tourists walk across.
Our next obstacle is the runway – the road goes right through the middle. There aren't any aircraft to be seen, so we drive across and follow the road signed Europa Point. It's a landmark I remember, but everything is different.
It's funny, the shape of the Rock is imprinted in my mind, so it seems familiar. But nothing is the same. I doubt that I would recognise anything even if nothing had changed, but I certainly don't see anything I can recollect. The house we lived in on Europa Rd is no longer – the paintings I did on the lower glass panes in my parents' bedroom to stop people on the road from copping an eyeful, long ground to dust. (They must have been doing something to conceal at least once without my knowledge, since my sister was born here. I don't even remember the number of the street.
We stop at Europa Point for a bladder break, take a few snaps and continue on around the other side. Just after I have said that the east side is covered in concrete as catchment because the rain in Spain stays mainly on the plain – quelle surprise! All that concrete is now gone, replaced with terraced landscaping. Probably to protect the little villas on this side from the glaring sun. There is even a little private resort with its own beach now. I don't even remember there being a road on this side. It takes all of 30 minutes to drive the entire circle – it took us longer to get over here in the queue.
The place I remember clambering all over, sneaking cigarettes from my mother and sitting on some ledge just under the cable car, is no more. It's a shabby version of that time, the aparment buildings rear up on the western side, and just look a bit tawdry.
The Rock has such a rich and contested history, I feel it deserves better than this.
We forgo the apes of the rock, obviously still here, because its still British territory, despite many of the locals speaking Spanish. We miss St Michaels cave -one of the most spectacular of the many that honeycomb the monolith, but join the queue to go back to Spain. To my great amusement, there is a sign that tells us where to go (internet page) for forms to complain about the queue system for entering.
I won't complain, because I won't be back. My memories of the Rock; going on a destroyer to have a (non-alcoholic) drink with my father at the bar, sailing on my father's pride-and-joy catamaran, looking at the octopus being thrashed on the jettys, and most precious of all, my first ride on the only horse in Gibraltar on a narrow strip of grass half the size of an olympic pool can rest intact.

Author William A. Trimble
Your Expert In DIY Home Construction & Remodeling
Ask Bill Trimble what question has never been answered for him and he'll probably say he can't conceive of the concept of never-ending space. That's not surprising for someone who has had almost thirty years of experience in custom home construction, and deals with finite space on a daily basis.
Among other things, Bill has worked as a "hands-on" builder, a superintendent, a project manager and a general contractor. He likes to be known as the "answer man" in his field. And he likes educating people who have a yen to build their own dream home, whether it's a vacation cabin or a permanent residence.
In fact, while teaching classes for owner/builders, he got more students coming to him than he ever dreamed he would. His classes filled up with waiting lists.
Available at Amazon, click below.
Many of his students urged him to write a book. So he did. Make it yours today: A small investment in print or eBook format will save you money and give YOU control. From planning to walk-through, it's all in here. Easy to read, only what you need.
Bill's best advice to aspiring owner-builders is to:
- Learn how to manage what they are undertaking (it's not enough to know how to perform trade tasks)
- Keep up communications with the subcontractors
- Pay careful attention to the schedule
- And don't forget to have fun with their dream project!
Trimble has won the Master Builders Award, the Santa Barbara Beautiful Award, and was given the Award of Merit at the Pacific Coast Builders Conference.
If he weren't doing what he's doing today, he'd like to pursue his interest in a few biological sciences or become a motivational speaker. He loves reading, sailing, classical music, good jazz, Laurel and Hardy and the humor of William Buckley. His interests are, shall we say, eclectic. (Secretly he'd like to get paid to hang around bookstores!)
If asked what the most unusual item in his toolbox is, he would tell you about the sign that reads "No Sniveling," which he readily shows to any complainer on his job site!
Bill Trimble lives and works in Santa Barbara, CA.

Kitsune is the Japanese word for fox. Foxes are a common subject of Japanese folklore; in English, kitsune refers to them in this context. Stories depict them as intelligent beings and as possessing magical abilities that increase with their age and wisdom. Foremost among these is the ability to assume human form. While some folktales speak of kitsune employing this ability to trick others—as foxes in folklore often do—other stories portray them as faithful guardians, friends, lovers, and wives.
Foxes and human beings lived close together in ancient Japan; this companionship gave rise to legends about the creatures. Kitsune have become closely associated with Inari, a Shinto kami or spirit, and serve as its messengers. This role has reinforced the fox's supernatural significance. The more tails a kitsune has—they may have as many as nine—the older, wiser, and more powerful it is. Because of their potential power and influence, some people make offerings to them as to a deity.

Once more with feeling
Politics is so mannered, so restrained by convention and the vague, pervading apprehension that passion is a tricky and uncontrollable quantity and thus not one to be trusted.
So it can be a bore.
Limping on from stage-managed blancmange to contrived non-event, it was a boost to one's sagging sense of the possibilities of political craft to hear National Leader Peter Ryan in full flight this morning.
Here was a man with his back to the wall, his party crippled by the changing times and the preference machinations of the big party power duopoly. But here was a man not afraid to speak with that boiling rhetorical flow that comes from belief, from connecting something at your emotional core to your mouth.
When Ryan spoke at the Melbourne Press club's minor parties breakfast - and it must have stuck in his throat to be included in that company - he spoke with perhaps the first hint of truly passionate belief that we have heard in this state campaign.
You may not believe what he says, but you'd be a fool not to defend to the death the way that he says it.
Hi jonathan
"you may not believe what he says, but you'd be a fool not to defend to the death the way that he says it"
I take it by this that you think that it is a cornerstone of our democracy that people have a right to speak with passion.
Can I respectfully suggest that your attempt to sound like Winston Churchill has flopped badly. In this article you come across as manipulative. Your above quoted words have the sound of something good but the overall content is bad writing.
Think about it. You are inviting me in your short 100 word blog to conclude that this man is so exciting and democracy is so wonderful that I would gladly die just to allow him to continue. Sorry but I'll pass on that if you dont mind. I do not agree with you and I couldn't care less if I never hear from peter who ever he is again.
Have another go.

In this campaign I have asked myself this question - What has Steve Brack's done for me?. Funnily enough I actually draw a blank. I want more people out there to ask themselves this same question - I think everyone will be surprised at the answer!
Vote for change!
- Posted by: phil on November 15, 2006 3:25 PM
It's ironic Peter Ryan feels betrayed by likely preferential voting arrangements. He leads an opportunistic party which in the past has formed Victorian governments with the support of ALP and Liberal Party. His is a party whose members openly betrayed a preference arrangement with the Liberal Party in 1996, leading to independent MP, Russell Savage winning Mildura electorate. Peter Ryan's protests are (a bit) shallow.
- Posted by: Derek Bowman on November 15, 2006 4:50 PM
Peter Ryan is a fantastic leader, and I hope voters come back in their droves, however I fear that the damage caused by his predecessor may mean they'll struggle. This state needs the Nats, as rural Victoria remains a second class citizen.
He is by far the most authentic and passionate leader in this state. I wish him and his party the best.
- Posted by: Robert on November 15, 2006 9:51 PM
Hawke was passionate, Fraser is passionate these days. Costello let his passions build up until he almost imploded, but then again his passion seemed to be for the job and not the country.
But our lovely hand-holding P.M. keeps all his passions bottled up, except possibly for the lovely Janette.
Sure, he'll don a track suit and jump in the air about cricket in the privacy of his own suite, but mostly he is passionate about control.
It would be nice if the P.M. were passionate about Australia, but after ten years in office he does not stand out as being any more pro Australia than the passing parade of foreign dignitaries who visit our shores.
He's certainly not passionate about creating a better future for Australians, even though he fails his own descendents by his short-sightedness.
Of course passion is about attachment and it doesn?t make good business sense to get attached when the intention is to carve up and sell off to the highest bidder anything that?s not nailed down?not just for now but for generations to come.
Passion puts promise into politics. It?s about having a vision for the future and wanting to bring others along with you. The wrong kind of vision combined with passion can be a scary, destructive thing, but right now we need politicians who are passionate about a brighter future for all Australians and who have vision to make it possible. There is nothing boring about a better tomorrow.TMB

Keep it up Peter Ryan, parliament needs a few more people who aren't afraid to say the obvious, the two major's are only in it for the city, it's time we took the fight up to them.
- Posted by: Jonathan Pietzsch on November 16, 2006 12:11 AM
TMB. Hawke was passionate about grog and infedelity. Keating was passionate about pain. Whitlam was passionate about his giant ego. Fraser is passionate about his pending mortality. Beazley has forgotten what he is on earth for. Bracks is passionate that voters like him irrespective of what he does not do for Victoria. Howard is a professional public servant acting in Australia's best interests. Don't let delerium cloud your vision.

I love shoes. I could try to be coy about it, but that's just not my nature. So there it is. Shoes. I love them.
I present to you Exhibit A. This is a picture of my closet right after I moved in with Mr. E last year. Please take a moment to revel with me in the joy of a perfectly appointed closet. I know, this is a little weird. But I love my closet almost as much as shoes.
Right, shoes! Back on topic then. Look at the bottom of the closet underneath all the clothes. Please to be noting the giant stacks of shoe boxes over to the left. Please also direct your attention to the shoes on the floor on the right (and closer to the wall there is a two tiered rack) that are not in boxes. Yes, I love shoes that much. My nickname maybe should have been Ms. Imelda. Oh well, that ship already sailed. Back to the point… this picture was taken about 7 pairs of shoes ago, so imagine 7 more on the left side there. It's like that.
Naturally, one of the first parts of my wedding ensemble that caught my attention were the shoes! I had some requirements. They had to be fun, with bonus points awarded for sparkles. They had to be super flatty flat flat flats since Mr. Lox and I are the same height and for some reason I am hyper-sensitive about looking taller than him in pictures. (Seriously, only in pictures. I don't even care the rest of the time. I'm a freak.) And they had to be comfortable because I wanted to wear my super fun possibly sparkly comfy flats all night.
Now enter my personal shopper. Before we go further, don't hate on me. I'm a plus-sized gal who gets overwhelmed when shopping and usually ends up in tears unless I'm buying shoes. (See, now it all makes sense…) So when I need to shop for, you know, stuff to actually cover the rest of me, I turn to my lovely personal shopper at Nordstrom. (It's a free service. You just pay for clothes! And no, they are not paying me to write this.) She was helping me pick out the clothes for my engagement pictures when I saw them. The clouds parted and the sun shone down on my perfect sparkly flats. I couldn't leave them behind.
Just look at their sparkly gold super fun perfection! And flat? Oh yes… the sole is the absolute minimum thickness that a shoe sole can be and there is no hint of heel on these babies. They are perfect. And they are so so very me.
So there ends my tale of how and why I bought my shoes before my dress. Also I had this idea in my head that I had to have the right shoes on to get measured for my dress. Yes, now I know that is ridiculous unless you are doing a special hallow to hem measurement. I can, in fact, be taught.
What was your very first wedding day purchase?
All pictures courtesy of the one and only Miss Lox. Unless otherwise noted.

I've been reading an interesting book lately on the fourteenth century and learning a huge amount – the kind of details you cannot find on the 'net. So, since I am in the middle of my historical romance, I thought to apply some of what I've learned. Well, good, you might be thinking, that's exactly what you're supposed to do. Except.
Now I have my characters saying things like:
"Sire, God give you good day." Or
"Dame, good day give you our Lord."
Not just this, but I learned that when meeting a superior, they would kneel on one knee, including the ladies. So I had my fmc kneeling to my mmc, which is totally not right for her character in this story, especially since they have known each other for years. The more I wrote like this (trying to be realistic) the more I lost my characters. I lost my mmc, Egon, and he's a vital character. Once I realised what was happening, I stopped writing, succoured myself with chocolate (for those who read my Lent blog post, ahem, forget I mentioned the word 'chocolate') and ranted at myself for a bit.
I've been trying to increase my attention to details, real historical ones that bring the prose alive (that's the intention, anyway), and forgetting one extremely important detail. Too much salt obliterates the flavour. Over-salting the prose overwhelms the reader. I'm not talking about general historical details to do with weather or clothes; I'm talking about realistic speech patterns, manners and behaviour that might come across as alien to the casual reader. Either I need to reduce these details, or I need to completely re-write my ms.
Having been thinking about this for a few days, and trying to write another chapter, I've decided to include those details which currently feel natural for the characters, then when I edit, to add in a few more here and there. Build it up, so to speak, until I feel the speech has attained a natural balance. The problem with this is that it's all so subjective and you can't please everybody. I've decided I'll please myself, since if I'm happy, the writing flows much easier. I think that is key. If I force the dialogue it will be unnatural. I need to familiarise myself with all of these tidbits that I've learned and incorporate them as and when I can do it in a way that feels totally natural.
Am I alone in getting bogged down with these details to the detriment of character and plot?
The good thing is – I find the more I write, the more I research, the more I learn, the better my first drafts are. Just, why does this whole process take so looooong:D Now I'm very glad I haven't published my first historical. I would cringe deeply at the errors. It will be edited. Sometime…

The problem with DH is the pillar of Gd's Name. DH says that elohim is Gd's name in the E document. That means that when you find text that uses elohim you can assign it to E. It came from E. It got into its current position because the editor took that text from E and put it at its current position.
But in the 1970s CE, one scholar decided that use of elohim in the first aliyah of Genesis does not mark it as E. It is P. Why?
Because he said that its discussion of Shabbat could not have occurred until the Babylonian captivity with invention of the P text.
That conflicts with material in Amos and Hoshea. Both refer to Shabbat, and both of them died more than a century before the Babylonian captivity. Wellhausen states that it doesn't matter what Amos and Hoshea said.
It matters a lot, unless there is evidence that Amos and Hoshea lived during or after the Babylonian Captivity, not centuries before it, or that the material attributed to them was invented during or after the Babylonian Captivity, not before it. In fact Sayce's claim that Shabbat was a late invention was a misinterpretation of the evidence, as you'll remember if you've been following this blog from the start.
In the last section I said that Biblical Hebrew had to be learned on the street because there were no grammar books. It means that Amos and Hoshea do matter, because Amos the cowherd uses the same Biblical Hebrew grammar as the Torah.
Wellhausen didn't have 21st century evidence about Semitic languages in general or Biblical Hebrew in particular. He was teaching at the time that Hermann Strack was publishing the Porta Linguarum Orientalium series with Delitzsch's work on Assyrian. But that doesn't mean Wellhausen read anything in either of Strack's series (the other was Clavis Linguarum Semiticarum). He also didn't have Sayce's claims to mislead him; he had stopped publishing by that time.
If the writer from the 1970s did rely on Sayce, he doesn't cite to him. He simply argued: P dates to the Captivity, it's a work of ritual, so it must be the sole source of Shabbat, so the creation story must date to the Captivity.
You can see that this is another conjunction, and that the probability of each term is less than one. The conflict with the timing of Amos and Hoshea, and with the axiom of "elohim is from E", suggests that its combined probability is low.
I'll give more evidence later about problems with the "names of Gd" pillar. For now, there's more to say about the language issue in DH.

Can I get a 'Hallelujah' people? The year is just a few days short from coming to a full end. It really amazes me how the year just went by so fast. November was an 'Okay' month for me. It was filled with a lot of small moments, and I am learning to love my own company even more than normal.
Not only, did I start a blog in November I sorta did good with it. Right? I also wrote a very important exam this month which I blogged about here, I also started taking decisions without spending too much time over-thinking it which I also talked about here. Generally, this year has been one of self-development and personal growth. And this month has been too. It's been slow yeah but I really can't complain because hey, we got here and it's my sister's Tenth birthday. Wow, I can't believe my little monster is Ten. I feel so old.
Anyways, I wanna take stock for November so let's get right into it.
Wondering – If I had the choice, what career would I love to pursue. Don't get me wrong, I have a dream (I sound like Martin Luther) and a passion. But if I were to choose a backup white collar proffesion, what would it be?
Loving – Myself. And the fact that I may have been a hermit for the past four months but I made it through to brighter and better days. Also, this blog. I can't believe I love writing here as much as I do but am really loving the whole process. And yes, i am also loving Kelly Clarkson. I have always been a fan. But sometime, this month I started relistening to her old songs and started falling in love with her. Again.
Watching – A bit too much of Cartoons and Pre-teen movies for it to be normal. I always loved cartoons but recently I have started placing reality shows above cartoons but the hassle of fighting for the remote with my sister everytime we switch on the generator is just too much so I gave up. And now, she has converted me into a cartoon adict. Again.
Reading – Nothing much. I spend most of my time now reading e-books and blogs than actual books.
Longing– For school. I can't wait to get started. This coach potato life is great and all but nothing beats good ol' school stress.
Regretting –Not going through with my plans for the DIY projects I wanted to do. And not actually keeping to my exercise routine. I blame it all on laziness.
Learning- That I can't wait for someone or something to make me feel special, that I have to look at myself in the mirror and accept myself for all my awesomeness and flaws.
Wishing- For alotta things, Christmas is here again. The time to wish. And hopefully get. Maybe I should write a wishlist and hope Santa or some Elf reads this blog and decide to get me at least half of the things I want. Lol. Top of my list though The Cassie Daves blog planner, a tripod, headphones, and a whole Lotta other things.
Making- A list. Well, several. List of future blog posts. Blogging goals. World domination to-do list, Christmas wish list, why Glee is the best movie list etc Just normal stuff.
Eating- Just my usual amount of junk. I also ate a lot more groundnuts than I normally do this month. As well as soaked garri.
Drinking- As much as I love Fantas, I didn't really drink as much as I normally do. I didn't really drink as much soda as I normally do. Yay. Though am sure December is here to change that.
Listening- To alot more Kelly Clarkson than I normally do. It's odd though, I didn't really listen to my Glee playlist as much as I normally do but Kelly made me barely notice. And Taylor Swift. And Demi Lovato. All these awesome ladies really made me feel like someone out there got me with their awesome voices and breakup songs. Which reminds me.
Grateful- To finally be done with my ex. I've done the Final part of all terrible breakups. The Facebook Block and Unblock. You block them so they know you serious, then unblock them so they can see your pictures and know that you are really over them. Lol. And for the fact, that though I still ate meat pie, I had a great vegetarian diet this month.
So how was November For you guys? Don't forget to share, like and comment and follow me on Instagram @quirksandoutfits.
P. S- The Hercules picture is part of my little support for Children Cancer Awareness.

Photography is my memory. Photography means the world to me. If you've looked at my about page you will have already known this. You will also then know that I would like to build a life for myself using my pictures. However, up until recently I have lacked direction on what I wanted to communicate using my images. I already knew that my photography was my memory, but that was too personal. My personal experience most likely wouldn't have enough impact on anyone. Now, after searching, I believe I have found where I want to take my photography. In addition to my own memory, I want my pictures to document humans personal interactions with nature. I wont deny that nature in the very definition of awesome, and people in nature can be really neat too. I would never say that the way I plan to drive my imagery in better than any other. It's simply what drive me.
This is one of my recent images. I truly believe that it encompasses all the information I plan to communicate in all my future photography. Also go check out my instagram because there's some fun stuff on there that I wont be posting here soon.

Our Athletic Beauty series continues! Erin recently shared her Girls on the Run themed post, and now I've got some summer beauty tips for all my fellow lady runners (or whatever you want to call yourselves).
Running in the heat can be tricky. Warmer weather means lighter running gear and more outdoor training runs, but it also means changing your routine to adapt to the elements. Long runs in the sun can be damaging not only to your gorgeous skin, but to your hair, gear, and hydration levels. Stay cool (and beautiful) with some of my favorite tips:
1. Guard your face
Sunscreen is a MUST for outdoor runs in the summer. You'll need an SPF that's sweat resistant and won't burn if it runs in your eyes. I love Skin Ceutical's Sport UV Defense and Aveeno HydroSport SPF 50. Don't forget about your shoulders, back and legs too. Slather it on!
2. Protect your color
You probably aren't thinking about your hair color when you're doing a 15 mile run on Saturday, but maybe you should be. Even if the sun is hiding behind the clouds, your hair is getting some major UV exposure. Protect your color (and your scalp) with SPF infused spray. My fave is Redken's Color Extend Sun Solar Screen.
3. Keep Dry
I know, it's tempting to rip off your shirt when the temps soar but, sometimes, a good tech-tee can keep you even cooler than running half naked. Avoid cotton gear at all costs and go for tops and shorts made with a moisture-wicking fabric. It will draw the sweat away from your body without soaking your shirt. My "can't-live-without-it" piece is Under Armor's running singlet.
4. Smell Nice
Yep. It's gross. More sweat means more smelling running clothes. But it can be avoided. Try using products infused with silver (which neutralizes odor-causing bacteria on contact…cool, right?) SHUTOUT detergent uses silver to get moisture-wicking fabrics super clean, and Lululemon's silver infused pieces stop odors before they even show up.
What else do you do to stay dry and looking naturally lovely during summer training runs?

Irene and Mina – Typhoons and Hurricanes….
Atlantic hurricanes are not all named after women contrary to popular belief – they were between 1953 and 1978 – but since then they have alternated between male and female names in alphabetical order.
There are 21 names assigned for the 2011 hurricane season, beginning with Arlene and ending with Whitney. The males, Bret, Don, Franklin and Harvey, passed by without too much fuss, but then along came Irene, the ninth on the list.
Whilst clearly there is no sexist discrimination in the naming of hurricanes, it's quite apparent that it's the females which are the most destructive. Remember Katrina?
These names are allocated years in advance, so it's not as if some aggrieved meteorologist in a volatile marriage sees a bad storm and says "hey, this reminds me of my wife – lets call it Anita". Who incidentally caused quite a storm in 1977.
That's another thing about names, when one is really deadly the name gets retired – never to be repeated (on the grounds that to do so would be insensitive). Unfortunately the rule only applies to tropical cyclones!
But back to this year. There are still a dozen impending hurricanes assigned with names by the National Hurricane Centre, six of which are female – Katia, Maria, Ophelia, Rina, Tammy and Whitney. Tammy sounds like trouble – will she be standing by her man or seeking a D.I.V.O.R.C.E?
With luck she may be confined to Nashville. As for Whitney, maybe she will always love you. Too bad there isn't one named Dolly – but that could develop on two fronts.
Should there be more than the 21 named tropical cyclones in a given year, then they adopt Greek Alphabet names ie Alpha, Beta, Gamma etc (although there are rumours they may become bankrupt in the near future).
In 2012 we can look forward to Beryl, Debbie, Florence, Helene, Joyce, Leslie, Nadine, Patty, Sandy and Valerie. The season begins with Alberto and ends with William. Hurricane William? It just doesn't have a ring to it (unless your name is Kate).
In the Philippines where Pacific hurricanes are called Typhoons, there are 25 allocated names, the latest being the very destructive Mina (female again) which like her Atlantic sister Irene is causing utmost havoc (personally I blame the parents), and she is the 13th tropical cyclone in the region.
The remaining female named typhoons are Onyok, Quiel, Sendong, Ursula, Weng and Zigzag. The latter is the 25th and expected in December.
It's important to note that PAGASA (the Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical & Astronomical Services Administration) always give Filipino names to the international standard names, because it wants to promote a better storm recall amongst Filipinos to facilitate greater disaster awareness.
Well, they do tend to do things differently there. Unfortunately it causes confusion, because people outside the Philippines may think there are two different storms taking place. For example, the international name for Mina is Nanmadol.
When you think about it - Typhoon Nanmadol sounds like something bought at a drug store as an aid for constipation.
On second thoughts maybe PAGASA have got the right idea.

Veröffentlicht am 8. September 2011 von lyrikzeitung
South Dakota poet Leo Dangel has written some of the best and truest poems about rural life that I'm aware of. Here's a fine one about a chance discovery.
Behind the Plow
I look in the turned sod
for an iron bolt that fell
from the plow frame
and find instead an arrowhead
with delicate, chipped edges,
still sharp, not much larger
than a woman's long fingernail.
Pleased, I put the arrowhead
into my overalls pocket,
knowing that the man who shot
the arrow and lost his work
must have looked for it
much longer than I will
look for that bolt.

Today, I'm gonna introduce you guys my recent favourite makeup item - the Etude House Play Colour Eye Juice Bar, which was launched in summer last year but the colour is so pretty and won't be outdated even for summer this year!
The palette comes in 10 different colours which are arranged nicely. You can use this as your base colour, eye shadow and even eye liner shadow! It comes with two brushes but they are not very practical and will come out of the palette easily.
It is portable and easy to carry around in your bag.
The colour is highly pigmented and you can use it for different looks.
Swatches on my hand.
My favourite is number 4th, 5th and 6th, they are my favourite picks for daily makeup~
I love these colours very much and I think I will continue to purchase when Etude House comes out new palettes!
You can get this from: Etude House Malaysia | Gmarket | Koreadepart | Hermo

Reading the Odyssey has me thinking about epic poetry in general. I've loved epic poetry for a long time, probably inspired by Tolkien, I suppose. I've read Beowulf twice. There's just something about the combination of a good story and the lovely way the poetry rolls. I've never read Homer before, except for an aborted attempt at The Iliad last year. We're not reading the whole Odyssey in this class, which I'm rather sorry about, but maybe I'll just go and read it all myself when I get the chance. I have the Robert Fitzgerald translation, which seems to be one of the most read.
"The minstrel stirred, murmuring to the god, and soonThat's from Book VIII of the Odyssey.
clear words and notes came one by one, a vision
of the Akhaians in their graceful ships
drawing away from shore: the torches flung
and shelters flaring: Argive soldiers crouched
in the close dark around Odysseus: and
the horse, tall on the assembly ground of Troy....
The splendid minstrel sang it."
Have you ever read an epic poem? Ancient Greek, Old English, Finnish, Irish, Mesopotamian, no doubt lots of others, there is a lot of variation in these poems but they all have a unifying quality.

"No soldier when in service gets entangled in the enterprises of [civilian] life; his aim is to satisfy and please the one who enlisted him" 2 Timothy 2:5 AMP.
We're soldiers for Christ and we can't involve ourselves in civilian affairs and please God at the same time. We must stand as soldiers upon this earth doing our Father's job. As long as you do your Father's job, you will be happy. But when you don't, there will be a lack of warmth and joy in your life. It doesn't matter how rich you are, or how many friends you have, you can never really be happy except you do the job of your Father; and that's bringing God's Word alive to people around you, touching them with the Word of God and winning souls into His Kingdom.
It's high time we got uncomfortable ignoring sinners around us and coming to church to warm our pews. Let's reach them with the gospel; let's reach them with the Life of God in us! It's time we got excited and went about our Father's business!
You must make up your mind today, tell yourself, "I'm going to do my Father's job and do it well." Don't go about it sloppily. The Bible tells us in Romans 12:11 not to be slothful in business, but fervent in spirit; serving the Lord. Be hardworking; determine in your heart that you're going to achieve great things for the Lord. There are things God has spoken to you about that He wants you to do.
This is your opportunity to do them. The time is now, there will be no better time!
Send feedbacks, replies, comments or testimonies to email@example.com and we will be glad to receive you.

Interest Breaks Out
God, the WSOP has been boring this year. Maybe it's because I'm not connected to the "real world" in that sense anymore. Sure, I've followed the mostly excellent coverage on Cardplayer - excellent in that it's quick and easy - but there seems to be little character to the event anymore. Where are the hidden dramas and the background cash game gossip? It seemed that all those guys who wanted to turn Poker into a "sport" got what they wanted, except it turned out to be a homogenous ESPN-lite of the very worst kind, dog jumping meets log rolling meets ESPN "the Ocho". Anyone who has watched the Cardplayer videos will have seen reverential interview fellatio of the very worst kind.
But right near the end it got suddenly and unexpectedly interesting.
The Phil Hellmuth Interview
Check out his interview on Cardplayer. Never has a Poker player seemed to have tipped so far into total insanity. He was like a characterture of a mockery of a spoof. He truly is blessed.
Danny "Boy" N Becomes Phil Hellmuth
Danny N's blog has been a joy through his current rough patch. He has put the Y back into self-delusional. His latest entry where he talks about trying to persuade Chris Ferguson to stop using the moniker "Jesus" is like stepping into the Twilight Zone. Oh to be a fly on the wall in that "conversation", as Chris slowly tries to back out of the room, eyes flitting from side to side, fake but nervous smile plastered to his face. If I was Chris I would have told him only if he stopped using "self aggrandizing, insincere, publicity hungry prick" as his nickname. Oh, sorry, that's just what others think of him.
The World's Best Internet Omaha Player Becomes the World's Best Omaha Player
You did read about him here first and it was no surprise for me, in fact a real delight, for a guy whom I donated so much money to on the Ether to go on and win the Big Omaha Event. It was also no surprise for the nonsense to take place over the fuck rule. Refaelmit doesn't even speak English as a first language, and although his English is excellent, I'm sure speaking with poker players on a day to day basis will roughen up anyone's vocabulary.
What was very interesting was seeing who thought this rule was a good one. One interview, with that mad homeless person from last years WSOP, basically said "yes I'm an angle shooting twat." And this was the basic timbre of the "people" who "thought" it was a "good" thing.
More of the Same
Those people who knew Simon Trumper before he got "famous" would not have been surprised by the accusations about him and the now "something for him to be properly famous for" Barry G incident. Simon has a long history of previous in this area. I don't know him personally, and believe he is a nice guy, but I suspect like a lot of tourney "pros" has a severe case of Solipsism, otherwise known as IABS (I Am Blessed Syndrome - see Hellmuth above.) When all eyes are on him then doing the decent thing by his opponent is the last thing on his mind, as after all, all eyes are on him, so doing...etc etc ad nausem.
Hopefully for the Faithful reader I won't have to state my position on events, bearing in mind that I was brought up in a game where "cards speak" wasn't a rule. What has been amusing has been looking at the defence case for the behaviour. There have been the rule analists, who seem to have trouble with the fact that the "mutually assured destruction" principle of having to have a rule for every situation will either make the game unrecognisable or unworkable. The "faces" response has been predictable and even more noteworthy. Of serious mention must be Harry "I know everyone and must name drop them in every post" Demitrou on THM. And Barney Boatman's defence on the same forum had more subtext than a Kafka novel. As the child-fondling Texan poker star is fond of saying "Would you like to face a Grand Jury with this guy?"
I can't imagine the Big Dance will be anywhere near as entertaining.

I played on the stars 10/20 omaha for about a week, winning $27,000 only to "winner's tilt" off $24,000 of it the next two days. The one player who I thought was amazing was indeed Rafaelamit, despite his lack of trickiness. He never had the biggest stack but he was so damn conistent and I wanted to be just like him but have a long way to go in the discipline and patience categories. I'm so pleased to see he's doing well in live play and that I am at least idolizing the right people.
...this is a continuation of the last post. Rafael seems to play by a set of rules for each situation with little regard for the opponent's style in most cases. Normally this would be ineffective, but even in heads up he is incredibly effective. In comparison to Darwinism, another player who seems to set situational rules, Rafael is very unpredictable and uses positioning so effectively that it's almost impossible to call his semi-bluffs.
I am seriously regretting my decision not to enter the $10k event. That bracelet clearly had my name on it. Raf and I probably would have ended up heads up, but I know how to counter his silly min-reraise traps.
- Big Dave D said...
Anon...that's Patri right?
The reason why a lot of the good players on Stars seem quite formulaic is because they all basically play the same style. If you put them through PT or PStat they all have the same stats. Except CHUFTY, who I havent seen in an age.
The rules are simple, but hard to beat. Don't play a lot of hands, but raise with 30-50% of them. And then mostly bet the flop.
After that it is just magic.
- Big Dave D said...
pete (f)
As much as I used to delight in your play, refael would fuck you up sideways, up and down and inside out. Just like he used to every day :) And just like he used to do to me too :)
Stick to the Lionel Hutz thang.
Judge: Mr. Hutz w've been in here for four hours. Do you have any evidence at all?
Hutz: Well, Your Honor. We've plenty of hearsay and conjecture. Those are kinds of evidence
I'm not "patri" Dave, I'm just a random college student in the US and that was my first post on here. Right now I'm poker inactive but hope to build my roll back eventually to be a 10/20 regular.
- Peter B said...
Wow, absolutely back to top dog form here Dave. More of the same!
I'm not sure what side that you would put me on re the Omaha "disagreement". Unlike most, I seem to have been most concerned at the allegation of slow-rolling. Simon has apparently admitted turning them over one at a time, and I can't see any justification in his own explanation for doing this. I mean, even "I don't like Barry Greenstein" would at least be some kind of explanation. As Barny Boatman said in his post, if he had the nuts, he would turn them all over at the same time, and very quickly.
As for the long pause, well, let's get real here -- the money is im-portant to Simon. I agreed that it was an angle, but I didn't think it worthy of the villification that took place. Follow Colclough's recommendation and bring in the clock if youl like, but let's face facts and admit that the old "gentlemen's agreements" are dead and buried (see the heads-up situation that developed later in the same tournament). To come up with arguments such as Phillips's that "even if it was two minutews, it was way too long" brings the situation down to "common consensus" which is no good at all.
If you really want to stop this kind of thing, then have a rule about "action likely to bring the game into disrepute", a rule that exists in some sports, but which relies on a respected and competent tournament director. But in a situation where a lot of money is at stake, you have to expect people to try every angle that they can. Just because you, Greenstein, Phillips or I (I hope) would not do it, does not mean we have the right to condemn other people who do.
But, slow-rolling, well, that's the death sentence, mate.
- chaos said...
Greenstein's take that players don't do this because it is mutually destructive was on the mark imo. Player's don't make this move simply because they can't, they fail do so because they realise where it will lead. Of course this shared belief is why Simon's move was so effective.
As for whether or not it's poker, who knows? I know I used to hold such views about what was and wasn't poker, in reality though, I didn't know, I just knew what I wanted poker to be.
- Andy_Ward said...
"The Ocho" :-)
I really enjoyed Dodgeball, I think the "Poker is a sport" crowd could learn a lot from that one. As could outraged Manchester United fans.
- Big Dave D said...
Sorry for the mixup...very similar story to Patri. One point,if I were to go back to 10/20, it would be on Party and NOT Stars.
- Big Dave D said...
Thought you would agree...although the M.A.D line was mine :) I must admit thou, my declining behaviour on the web does make me nervous of playing live again, where I was a 100% good guy at all times. And the thought of playing people who genuinely believe that acting like the do on the Net is OK behaviour definately gives me the chills.
- Big Dave D said...
Pete B,
I noticed that you were on the Dark Side of the Force, which surprised me considering how long you have been playing. I think the MAD point is valid. Also I genuinely believe that the huge pause is on a continuum of behaviour as the slow roll.
There were a lot of valid reasons as to acceptable behaviour in cash games that didnt "need" to be stated. Its a topic that could fill a whole host of articles. But the net effect is that a game where any behaviour goes quickly becomes unprofitable. And a game where common sense is replaced by legislation becomes an angle shooters paradise and impossible to invigilate, as the F-bomb rule shows.

The Arizona Cardinals and Atlanta Falcons meet Sunday in a crucial Week 12 match-up that could be a major factor for the NFL postseason race this year.
The Falcons are at 6-4 and leads the NFC South but they are just one game ahead of division rivals Tampa Bay Buccaneers (5-5). The Bucs face the Seattle Seahawks (7-2-1) Sunday in their own crucial Week 12 match-up.
Meanwhile, the Cardinals (4-5-1) are two and a half games behind those Seahawks in the NFC West. If Arizona is making the NFL postseason, it's likely through the wild card and they need to beat the Atlanta squad for a chance to gain on the leaders of the NFC.
The Cardinals have won just one game in their last four games and will face the Washington Redskins (6-4) and Miami Dolphins (6-4) in their next two games, after their match-up with Atlanta.
Meanwhile, the Falcons have lost three of their last five games after a 4-1 start They take on the Kansas City Chiefs (7-3) and Los Angeles Rams (4-6) after the game versus Arizona.

Falcons-Cardinals injury notes
In NFL injury reports that could affect the Falcons' chance to win in Sunday's game is that cornerback Desmond Trufant will undergo a season-ending surgery because of a torn pectoral.
For the Cardinals, head coach Bruce Arians will rejoin the team after spending Monday in the hospital because of chest pains. Arians admitted that they need to play with a sense of urgency against the Falcons.
Crucial Week 12 NFC match-up
"Oh yeah. If you don't have one right now you don't belong in the business, and you damn sure don't belong in this locker room," Arians stated to ESPN about the crucial Week 12 match-up.
Arizona QB Carson Palmer also knew the importance of the game vs. the Falcons. He advised teammates not to worry about the team standings.
"To win one game. Can't worry about seeding or standings or division records; nothing matters other than this game. As leaders, as the older guys in the locker room, you just keep everybody's focus on one day at a time, finishing today. We've got the practice part done," Palmer added.
"We have a lot of meetings and a lot of tape to watch. You finish day after day after day, and that's the mindset that we have."

Oops, this post is a little tardy. Better late than never. I'm not going to be doing the monthly posts on Alex anymore, though of course I'll talk about him plenty. I began to feel bogged down by the need to write the monthly updates when I may have had another topic on my heart. I'm absolutely glad that I kept them up for the first year, though, because it's a wonderful record of Alex's babyhood. Sigh. He's not a baby anymore.
12 months old:
So, let's talk about Alex at one year. Confession: because it's been two months already I actually can't remember as much as I'd like. I'm just going to talk about his birthday, post the pics, and tell you what I remember.
On the night before Alex's birthday, we blew up a bunch of balloons and hung them from the ceiling in the basement for a birthday photo shoot. It's…. very difficult to get a one-year-old to cooperate for pictures. Still, I got a few good ones.
It cracked me up that Alex would choose to play with a piece of metal instead of all the fun balloons. This kid.
I can't tell you how many times he took the hat off!
Developing: Alex was absolutely walking at 12 months. His first steps were at 10.5 months, and he really took off with it at 11.5 ish months.
Breastfeeding: Still nursing, going strong, no plans to wean anytime soon.
Eating: Alex still loves to eat, and his favorite food is definitely berries. He's gotten really good at asking for what he wants my pointing at different foods.
Fears: Alex hates things that make loud or unfamiliar noises, like blenders, food processors, and balloons being blown up. He's thankfully become pretty tolerant of the vacuum cleaner.
Likes: Alex's favorite thing is to watch Mommy and Daddy do things, particularly in the kitchen. The trouble is that he wants us to hold him at the same time, and some things aren't compatible with holding him (like cutting veggies). He also has recently acquired a fascination with pulling Ami's tail- ouch! He will walk from room to room, but always checks back in with me pretty frequently.
Favorite Toys: We've started going to the library for baby story time. Alex is always really shy, but he does enjoy it and loosens up near the end when all the babies get to play with the toys. Alex's favorite toys are pots and pans, kitchen utensils, toy tools, and whatever he finds in the drawers in the bathroom.
The birthday party:
I decided to do a puppy dog theme for Alex's birthday party, mostly because when I decided it that's one thing I knew he liked- dogs! He would always get really excited when he saw a dog and would point to dogs we'd seen when I'd say "Where's the doggie?" Adorable. Anyway, I made as many things dog-themed as I could: food, decorations, and even Alex's outfit.
The table runner was just plain paper that I stenciled paw prints onto with sharpies and homemade stencils. I was pleased to realize that I could even stencil on the glasses and they'd rub right off whenever we were done.
We waited to have Alex's party until my parents came for Christmas, so it was a little over a week after his actual birthday.
The dog dishes and little dogs came from Dollar Tree.
Ok, so this didn't turn out as awesome as I'd hoped, mostly because it fell down shortly after this picture was taken…..
There's something so awesome about seeing adults load up food into dog dishes, haha!
Alex ate a TON!
After dinner we went downstairs to open presents. Alex wasn't thrilled about his hat at all….
The bike was our gift to Alex. It's a bike without pedals (called a balance bike), and as soon as his feet can touch the ground when he's sitting on it he can ride it. Hopefully this summer. 🙂
The smash cake: a sugar-less cake with green frosting made out of coconut cream (and colored with spinach)
I helped him blow out his candle and he was VERY upset!
The berries made up for the loss of the candle.
Daddy liked the smash cake too.
Here's the adult's cake: a raw carrot cake that was a total experiment. Not sure if everyone else thought it was amazing, but I sure did! Yum! I cannot get enough of that coconut cream on top.
I, um, forgot to take the picture before I cut it.
All in all, I thought the party was a success, but there was a lot of prep and it kind of wore me out. I think next year I either need to somehow do more stuff ahead of time or make it simpler. We'll also probably invite some friends next year. I just wanted to make it grandparents this year because, let's face it, they are the only ones who really matter right now in Alex's little world. 🙂
