A little more than 30 years after leading Forfar Athletic to the Scottish Second Division title, Doug Houston was back at Station Park to unveil the club's new stunning hospitality complex.
And it was a day to remember on and off the park as Forfar Athletic romped to a 3-2 win over Greenock Morton.
Houston, the Loons manager who oversaw the side's first major title win, opened the complex - including the aptly named 1984 Lounge - alongside the skipper of that side, Ian McPhee.
The duo would have been extremely impressed with the product served up by Dick Campbell's charges as captain Gavin Swankie grabbed a lovely brace either side of Danny Denholm's tidy strike.
Aaron James and Chris Templeman missed out through injury and were replaced by Mark Baxter and Omar Kader.
The game started slowly and the first real chance didn't come until the 16th minute, when Joe McKee sent a low shot wide of the mark from the edge of the Forfar box.
But it was Forfar who opened the scoring after 19 minutes, Stephen Husband sending a lofted ball into the area for Swankie to control with his chest - the striker then slammed a terrific half volley past Derek Gaston.
Morton could have been level when Thomas O'Ware missed a sitter following good work from Declan McManus, but the latter restored parity between the teams in the 37th minute when the Aberdeen loanee seized on a mistake from Denholm to slot home under Douglas.
It was a redemptive moment for Denholm just after half time though, the former Livingston winger putting the Loons back in front as he converted a clever cut back from the majestic Swankie with a cathartic finish.
And Denholm went for the spectacular moments later, getting an audacious backheel on the end of another Swankie pass but Gaston was able to save.
Dale Hilson went close from long range before it was 3-1 thanks to Swankie's second.
The striker controlled Mikey Dunlop's clearance with ease and advanced upon Gaston's goal, slotting the ball past the goalkeeper with a superb finish with the outside of the left boot.
Dunlop went close to making it four before Hilson drew a stunning save out of Gaston when he was one on one.
Morton grabbed an undeserved second through substitute Reece Hands in the last few minutes, making it a nervy finish for Forfar.
Forfar Athletic: Douglas, Dunlop, Baxter, Malcolm, Dods, Husband (Dale 78), OKader (Smith 81), Young, Hilson, Swankie, Denholm (Fotheringham 81). Subs not used: Malin, Steeves, Keiller, Salmon
Greenock Morton: Gaston, Kilday, Lamie, Miller (Russell 67), Crighton, Milojevic, McKee, Pepper, McManus, O'Ware (Hands 77), McCluskey (McNeil 79). Subs not used: Allan, Scullion, Caraux.

Attended the Bishops Limited Christmas function recently at Markovina Wine Estate . What a fabulous venue! The gardens are just beautiful, and as the sun went down many explored the grounds and some even played petanque. After the sumptuous meal they danced the night away before all being whisked home safely on a PartyBus.
I think my photos show everyone had a great time!

Good morning everyone! Happy Monday : )) I'm having one of those calm, cosy mornings at home, staying warm and feeling snug, curled up on the sofa with my latte and laptop. After a busy weekend with family and friends, I'm appreciating the peaceful solitude, wrapped up in my thoughts and comforting cashmere, reflecting on the season. My home is quiet, with only the ticking clock and the birds in the trees to disturb the silence, as I contemplate who I am and where I've been. I feel as if I've taken a moment to step out of my thoughts to observe them, a kind of 'time out' to assess my situation, checking my plans align with my dreams, and searching for direction.
Winters are hardly my favourite season, when the heady carefree days of summer seem merely a memory and a distant opportunity somewhere in the future. The dark days and cold nights can feel restrictive and unsociable, as we rush between destinations to stay out of the cold, wrapping up in layers to protect our health, as we struggle to juggle the mean climate with festivities. However, there is something sublime about relaxing in the warm glow of home, visible to the cold world outside through glittering windows, as candles flicker smugly in the warmth.
Despite my attempts to fight it off, a head cold has finally taken hold, nothing major just the sniffles and a red nose; but it's a good reminder to take things easy and savour the privileges of winter: cooking hearty dishes that fill the house with comforting aromas, padding about in snuggly socks, and curling up with a good book on the sofa. I find the winter is far more bearable when I recognise and accept the changes in behaviour that the season imposes, and embrace the comforts of home, being quiet and relaxing. I might even start thinking about Christmas shopping (online), cashmere socks maybe?!
Wishing you a wonderful week, and hope that you keep warm and well if you're also in a wintry part of the world! Blessings & love, Hxx

Never Get out of the Pixar boat!
Never Bet Against Pixar
I thought the bad reviews for Chicken Little meant Pixar was about to bend Disney over in their current negotiations. Of course the movie would pull in something like $40 million its opening weekend making me look like a fool.
BUT WAIT! There's more!
The real test will be the final BO. I have a feeling that 7 year olds aren't distinguishing between a Disney or Disney/Pixar movies at this stage in their movie seeing development. Actually I bet a lot of parents aren't either. Blockbuster status depends on repeat business so time will tell.
In any case, those folks that dumped their Pixar stock must feel like dopes about now.

Morning Oatmeal Muffins
March 10, 2009
Sometimes I forget how good really simple meals can be. Most everything I make nowadays has a sauce or multiple components, but tonight we just ate pan-fried steak, brown rice and boiled turnip greens, and it was really good. This recipe is kind of the opposite –although the preparation is quite simple, it's a muffin form mix of everything you might think to put in your oatmeal in the morning, all at once. If I'd had either less or more than one banana, it might have been different, but really these muffins can take anything you want to throw in them(although if you switch out the apples for something less acidic I would take out the baking soda).
(makes 12 muffins)
- 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
- 1 tbsp baking powder
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ginger
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup white sugar
- 1 apple, finely chopped or 1 cup applesauce
- 1 ripe banana, mashed
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1/3 cup vegetable oil
- 1 egg
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/4 cup raisins
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat the oven to 375F, and prep 12 muffin tins – either with spray oil or paper muffin cups. Stir together the dry ingredients, being sure to break up chunks of brown sugar, then add the wet and stir until just mixed. Fill the muffin cups — they will be very full, but these don't rise very much — maybe 15%. Bake for 20-25 minutes.

I chose this quote because SpongeBob was one of my favorite shows when I was younger. And it probably still is. Also, I remember watching this episode a few years ago.

New Testaments is a new monthly column in which Amr Al-Aaser presents an overlooked modern game and explicates its best ideas.
Nioh is the kind of game that this column exists for. On release it quickly saw itself buried beneath the comparisons to Dark Souls, praised for the ways it imitated the series, and criticised for its failings in repeating From Software's successes. But while Nioh clearly follows in the precedent set for the genre by Dark Souls, it does so in the same way something like Monolith's BLOOD follows Doom: with a clear lineage, but with very different aims and aesthetic goals.
Nothing illustrates this difference in attitude more than the ki pulse.

I saw Farieza, Anis , Nazrin , Syakira and Aimi few days ago.They were my former students. I dislike the word former.I always think them as my students . They are on a new exciting journey.Today they will receive good news of their next journeys. I am sure that they will enjoy their next journey tremendously and I feel blessed I was a part of their life here.Good times are always short but memorable.

However, if the instructor had followed Lycoming's recommendations as to TBO time, the accident would not have happened."

Nor would it have happened if the CFI slept through his alarm and missed the lesson. To cite incompetent maintenance as a justification for calendar-time TBO makes no sense.

Manufacturers set calendar-time TBOs for one reason: concern about corrosion on aircraft that fly few hours and therefore might go for many decades before reaching time-in-service TBO. That concern is a legitimate one.

What is NOT legitimate is for the calendar-time TBO to be treated as a one-size-fits-all number. It makes no sense for the calendar-time TBO to be the same for an aircraft tied down outdoors in Miami and for one kept in a heated hangar in Denver or Tucson. Or for an aircraft that flies every week and one that is dormant four months out of the year.

Manufacturer-recommended calendar-time TBOs are too simplistic, and overly conservative for any but the worst-case aircraft. There are many factors that affect the useful life of an engine or propeller. It's unfortunate that the manufacturers ignore all but two of those factors (calendar time and time-in-service).email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26736972.post-70548585111028508842012-10-25T07:17:42.438-07:002012-10-25T07:17:42.438-07:00confirmation bias?confirmation bias?John Schwanerhttps://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26736972.post-35242670772574321252012-08-11T15:02:15.002-07:002012-08-11T15:02:15.002-07:00"The argument that engines should be major ov..."The argument that engines should be major overhauled every 12 years is absurd." I didn't make that argument. Nor did I express any opinion one way or another.

The article lists examples where:
1. In Service Condition Inspections were not adequate given the age of the engine.

2. Accidents, and other age-related-failures not present in NTSB statistics, that could have been prevented by using more thorough Overhaul Condition Inspections that better inspect for corrosion pitting, fatigue cracks, and other deterioration both external and internal.

Nearly every failure cited in this blog post is a fatigue or corrosion-related failure of cylinders, not a failure of the engine bottom end. It is absurd to suggest that engines need to be torn down to prevent cylinder failures, because cylinders are bolt-on accessories.

What makes this really absurd is that the overhaul manual does not require cylinders to be replaced at major overhaul; they can (and often are) reused. In my opinion, the only component on a piston aircraft engine that really warrants a life limit are the cylinder assemblies, but they are the components that have no life limit under the current TBO system. The engine can be religiously overhauled in accordance with the manufacturer's overhaul manual and yet the cylinders remain in service indefinitely, with no regard to the finite fatigue life of the cylinder head casting and the head-to-barrel junction.

I believe the concept of piston aircraft engine TBOs is fallacious and thoroughly discredited by the accident data (which makes it clear that the overwhelming majority of engine-failure accidents occur when the engine is young, not when it's old). TBOs as now defined should be eliminated altogether. Life limits should be established for cylinder assemblies, and regulations should be changed to require tracking of the time-in-service of cylinder head castings (something that is not tracked now).

Anecdotal blog posts like this one are not particularly helpful. The NTSB accident data tells a very different email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-26736972.post-50570325219064168182012-05-09T07:40:59.461-07:002012-05-09T07:40:59.461-07:00Statistically, engines are least reliable (as far ...Statistically, engines are least reliable (as far as in flight failures are concerned) when new or newly overhauled. Reliability increases in mid-life and does not trend upwards significantly when approaching overhaul, or even beyond the recommended overhaul. However, there is little data when going many hours beyond overhaul, as most operators eventually replace an old engine for various reasons, which might include low compression, high oil consumption, low oil pressure and other tell-tale signs of wear. Don't confuse statistical reliability and wear. With that in mind, part 91 operators are never going to replace a perfectly good engine. And, I'm not at all sure it should be required.

This property is on the border of the former French provinces of Maine and Touraine. It is within an urban triangle, the vertex of which are Le-Mans (45 km), Tours (60 km) and Vendôme (40 km). Tours-Val-de-Loire airport is 40 km away. Motorways from these towns include interchanges for the A10 Paris/ Bordeaux, the A11 Paris/ Le-Mans via the A28 Rouen/Tours and the Parigné-l'Evêque exit twenty or so kilometres away. Le-Mans and Vendôme have TGV train stations with links to Paris, respectively taking 55 and 45 minutes.
The Loir Valley is a small vine-growing and tourist region located 60 km to the north of the Loire Valley. The mild climate, the soil and the vine varieties encourage the production of wines such as Coteaux-du-Loir (with an AOC appellation since 1948) and Jasnières (with AOC appellation since 1937).
Bercé Forest is some 10 km from the house. This national forest was a royal forest in the 14th century. It spans more than 5,000 hectares and is renowned for its top quality oak plantations.
The surrounding villages are between 6 and 7 km away. They provide basic necessities and schools. A little town ten or so km away has supermarkets, secondary schools, cultural and sports centres as well as a health centre.
The main house
This 2-storey, main, rectangular residence faces north-south. It has a slate roof, lime-rendered stone walls and freestone framing around the openings. Other features include double-glazed windows with outdoor shutters and floors covered with old terracotta tiles, bricks or flagstones. It also has some authentic architectural features such as fireplaces, the stairway, the railings and the kitchen with its ceramic tiles from Desvres.
The function room or workshop
This single-storey, L-shaped building features an exposed roofing framework. The outside is clad in wood shingle; the inside with lime rendering and wood. A slate roof. Cement floor tiles. Numerous openings, two entrances. An old, Guyon-Frères wood-burning stove. High ceiling. This area can be used as a workshop or a function room.
The guest house
This 2-storey, rectangular building has a slate roof and lime rendered stone walls with brick framing around the openings and exposed freestone quoins.
The outbuildings
A number of outbuildings are spread throughout the property. Some are for leisure purposes; others are used for storing maintenance equipment.
Our opinion
The current owners have been developing a sort of ecosystem in keeping with the surroundings at the end of this small, peaceful, verdant valley for ten or so years. Here, there are water, woods and grasslands. Those seeking to farm or raise livestock will find all the right ingredients and conditions for permaculture. Magnificent renovation works have been carried out and have resulted in an architectural unity exuding rural character. Modern-day home comforts encompass plant decoration. This is an ideal setting for a family home where individual members can relax in their own way due to the modular nature of its various living areas. Quality fixtures and fittings already in place also make a small bed & breakfast activity possible without any loss of family privacy. In any case, such vast natural surroundings just 200 km from Paris can but be good for its residents.

Food52's Yogurt Bread with Molasses
by ck
This recipe nearly snuck by me, but luckily a friend's mother sent it back my way. Food52's recipe yields a hearty, flavorful loaf that adapts well to sweet or savory toppings and is easily customizable. It is a true quick bread, meaning unlike banana bread or orange-pecan breads, which adopt the title so lightly, it isn't overly sweet and there isn't (gasp!) a stick or two of butter involved. If you like boston brown bread, you'll like this: think of this loaf as its more serious cousin.
I haven't made it recently, but I'm leaving the recipe here so I remember how great it is. This is definitely one of those undertakings that requires minimal effort but yields a wonderful result.
I like it toasted with butter and honey (unsurprising, that's how I take all my bread products), my dad ate it with peanut butter and marmalade, and my mom devoured slices smothered with cream cheese.

Everywhere I look on the island I see invasive species taking over and choking out the fragile native and endemic species. It is an epidemic reaching from the top of the mountain all the way to the reef. The sight and statistics of the non-natives here are staggering....just take a drive to Hana and you can see the destruction of these aggressive foreigners mile after mile. It is so depressing to me to see this problem getting worse year after year that I can hardly write about it.
Most of these species arrive here by accident in luggage, shoes, cargo, plant material, floral material, food products or as hitchhikers, but sadly some are actually brought here or introduced on purpose; then years later are found to be killers to the native species. Glycine clover vine for the cattle released into Ulupalakua has run wild and now threatens the rainforest in Makaalae & Hana area. I do not think that we can eradicate this vine even if we tried, but we should try to do something to stop the spread of this plant and other species like it (miconia, and many others). There are so many species that are threatening the native habitat that I can't even count. It is not just plants, there are threats from every angle.
There are literally dozens of these invasives all over the island and I think that our state needs to step up to the plate and do a lot more than is currently being done...it is not enough! There are some concerned groups, leaders, and people that are dedicating their life to help the severe problems relating to this issue. People like Art Medeiros, coordinator of the Leeward Haleakala Watershed Restoration Partnership that are really dedicated and trying desperately to make a difference in this enormous problem that the entire state is faced with. I think that we should access the problem plants that are already here and then form a plan to deal with the most destructive right away. Then go on from there. According to this opinion sent by Art to the Maui News, he says that we should import safe insects to deal with the strawberry guava from Brazil or we may not have our mighty Koa tree in the watershed anymore. Strawberry guava grow much faster than the koa and choke out all the space. They spread extremely fast and from what Art said the imported insect would only attack the strawberry guava and in fact it will not kill the guava but just slow down the growth so that the koa would have a chance to re-establish itself in the forest and populate at a faster rate than it can now fighting for survival with the strawberry guava.
Basically our ecosystems are sick, endangered, and under attack. We need to malama them now, while there is still a chance for the fragile endemics to survive. There are many ways that we all can help out the 'aina and protect the SPECIAL, RARE, SPECIES of Hawaii.
Number one is to spread awareness and educate visitors and the public as to the problem and what to do or help. Next is to create and enforce an assessment-risk-plan for new material being brought into the state. Next create and enforce strict laws and policy to protect the fragile native species that are left alive now! In the past Hawaii would get a new species every 35,000 years or so on their own, now it is about 1-2 new species per month....think about that!!! I am sure that you are aware of the problems, but most of the public here do not have a clue. People bring in new plants all the time and do not think twice as to the impact that could further destroy our beautiful environment. I think that most people if educated would do what they can to help and spread awareness. I do what I can whenever possible, by volunteering, educating others and myself and being conscious to the problem. There are several websites that are of great help for anyone interested in helping or becoming informed.
This information according to one of my favorite websites http://www.hear.org/
The invasive species problem in Hawaii:
The silent invasion of Hawai'i by insects, disease organisms, snakes, weeds, and other pests is the single greatest threat to Hawaii's economy and natural environment and to the health and lifestyle of Hawaii's people. Pests already cause millions of dollars in crop losses, the extinction of native species, the destruction of native forests, and the spread of disease. But many more harmful pests now threaten to invade Hawai'i and wreak further damage. Even one new pest--like the brown tree snake--could forever change the character of our islands. Stopping the influx of new pests and containing their spread is essential to Hawaii's future well-being.
Despite the efforts of more than 20 state, federal, and private agencies, unwanted alien pests are entering Hawai'i at an alarming rate - about 2 million times more rapid than the natural rate. In 1993, the federal Office of Technology Assessment declared Hawaii's alien pest species problem the worst in the nation. Hawaii's evolutionary isolation from the continents, and its modern role as the commercial hub of the Pacific make these islands particularly vulnerable to destruction by alien pests. Gaps in current pest prevention systems and a lack of public awareness add further to this serious problem.
You can also go to MISC or Hawaii invasive species committee to learn more. The website is http://www.hawaiiinvasivespecies.org/iscs/misc/
Also I encourage everyone to go out and volunteer, learn, and get involved. Go to Haleakala National Park and see the beauty, and learn, go to a NARS (Natural Area Refuge Systems) wildlife reserve. These places are protected and you can see the beauty all around. Also go to Maui Nui Botanical Gardens and enjoy!!! We have many species that only occur here in the whole world.....think about it.....That is special and needs protection and care from all of us who live in this gorgeous Hawaii. http://www.fws.gov/refuges/ and http://www.mnbg.org/home.html These websites have volunteer info and great links.

PWO Exclusive – Tootie Lynn Ramsey Talks Undertaker, Dynamo Pro Wrestling's "March Mayhem" And Career Aspirations
*A Pro Wrestling Opinion Exclusive*
Check out our interview with Tootie Lynn Ramsey, as she discusses her career experiences, upcoming match with Rahne Victoria at Dynamo Pro Wrestling's "March Mayhem" event, what got her into pro wrestling and more!
Ramsey hails from St. Louis, Missouri and trained with the Dynamo Pro Dojo. She has also competed for promotions like KCXW, Midwest Impact Pro Wrestling, Strictly Nsane Pro Wrestling, PWCS and New Focus Wrestling.

WWE Backlash 2007 Reaction
By Nicholas Jason Lopez
Fresh off the thriller that was WWE WrestleMania 23, that year's Backlash had plenty to offer itself.
Let's start with the Last Man Standing Match for the World Heavyweight Championship between Champion The Undertaker and Batista that actually stole the show.
That would've been the main event if you ask us.
There were other moments that you probably didn't realize happened here – Vince McMahon was crowned ECW World Champion (eye-roll), WWE Women's Champion Melina and Mickie James traded fists while in splits and a Batista spear literally brought the stage down.
This made us realize that 2007 maybe wasn't so bad after all, as veterans like Shawn Michaels and The Undertaker delivered gutsy performances.
Now, let's get to the nooks and crannies of "WrestleMania 23: The Important Stuff Part II."
WWE In Your House 12: It's Time Reaction
By Nicholas Jason Lopez
While its progression to realism from a cartoonish image was evident towards the latter half of 1996, the World Wrestling Federation (WWF) still struggled to shake control from its rival organization – World Championship Wrestling (WCW). WCW was in a stretch where it'd dominate television ratings for 84 consecutive weeks.
This show was peppered with potential from a standout opener between Leif Cassidy (now known as Al Snow) and Flash Funk (better referred to as 2 Cold Scorpio), a passable "Armageddon Rules" match from The Undertaker and The Executioner that went all over the arena/set and a good effort from its WWF Intercontinental Championship bout between Champion Hunter Hearst Helmsley and Marc Mero.
The rest was showered in shrouds of ridicule as enthusiastic as the sights of Fake Diesel and Razor Ramon on our screens. Even good 'ol Jim Ross on commentary couldn't do much for us. We'll also investigate the ideological mess that was the WWF World Tag Team Championship match.
In the battle of "Powerbomb Vs. Sharpshooter," powerbomb emerged victorious, but it was our collective brains that got powerbombed in the end.
You could tell how much the WWF needed a shakeup headed into 1997.
To top it off , the namesake of the show – Vader – wasn't even on the card. Good riddance to WWF 1996.

WWE Royal Rumble 2017 Reaction
By Nicholas Jason Lopez
While January begins with a countdown from ten to one, wrestling fans most associate the month with the same countdown towards another festivity – the Royal Rumble.
Given the "Big Four" treatment, equivalent in 2017 to a NXT TakeOver event the day before, a two-hour pre-show and a five-and-a-half-hour Pay-Per-View, it was treated as a huge deal.
It probably also helped that it emanated from San Antonio's Alamodome, with a house count of 52,020. It was practically WrestleMania without being it.
Given the Rumble's star power of Brock Lesnar, Braun Strowman, The Big Show, Goldberg and The Undertaker, there was an unpredictability headed in that severely lacked the previous few years.
Notes In Observance – WWE Raw 1/23/17: All The Possibilities
By Nicholas Jason Lopez
"Notes In Observance" features random thoughts and analysis on recent television shows. Quick results can be found at the bottom of the post.
(Aired 1/23/17)
All The Possibilities
– The opening video recapped Jeri-KO's run at the "Top Of The World," as WWE United States Champion Chris Jericho uncrowned Roman Reigns before WWE Universal Champion Kevin Owens powerbombed Reigns through the announce table the week after. It was renowned "The Chris And Kevin Show." Hmm.
Notes In Observance – WWE Raw 1/9/17: Saved By The Gong

"Notes In Observance" features random thoughts and analysis on recent television shows. Quick results can be found at the bottom of the post.
(Aired 1/9/17)
Saved By The Gong
– The Commissioner Stephanie McMahon/General Manager Mick Foley/Seth Rollins/Braun Strowman backstage segment was packed with enough tension to start things off interestingly. Apparently, Jan. 9 is official Raw GM Performance Review day, as Steph spoke about Foley's (who sported a circa 2000 haircut) promise to bring The Undertaker. Rollins' portion was newsworthy in a special Rollins way as he informed them he was now in the Royal Rumble match. That was followed up by Strowman, who demanded either Goldberg or WWE United States Champion Roman Reigns for the double spear. Rollins being Rollins made him go right at Strowman, to Steph's disapproval. In classic Steph fashion, she told Foley to get things under control and summon the ultra lord of darkness to the red brand. Or else. Pretty to the point stuff.

Putting the bins out on a damp night
my foot finds that almost-resistance
and I hear the shell crackle and give.
I lean on the door frame
to inspect the carcass on my sole.
Other than flecks of swirling brown
which used to be its home
there's no semblance of the snail;
no curious dotted feelers that shrink
at the merest touch, no grey tweed pleats
on which to slowly surf.
All that remains is a sticky, crunchy stain
and faintly discernible structures
which cling to my slipper's underside
like a slob's flobbed chewing gum.
I roll my eyes and curse that we should
collide this way tonight; the snail biding
in my car's shadow on the drive,
me crag-kneed heaving a crammed wheelie-bin.
Although I could say sorry, there's more
to these little deaths than simple regret;
they creep on my shoulders one by one
and something unseen jabs a finger,
notes down my name.
How Can You Mend A Broken Heart?
Confetti on the rain-covered pavement;
I stoop to inspect it and see
blue ballpoint hearts and hasty kisses.
I peel up every last torn piece
keep it safe in my pocket until I'm home
and then tape it back together.
A smudged jigsaw of promises and regret,
it deserves a second chance.
In the church's stone chill, we tune out the drone
knowing to kneel here, mutter there, not quite sing.
We gather for our dearests' rites, bedecked,
it is the end product that means most.
We feel the steps, when to hold or release;
like those sixties dance crazes, we're in synch.
We get through it, passing the smokers
on our way out, armed with silver, rice, soil.

Everyone has a pseudonym -,
In their debenture -,
Tundra reckoning of the soul.
It's what's done
With these. Whether
To surrender to the yoke?
Splay out
Upon the wheel?
The veritable fox at the water-
Trough holds
My gaze, seems
Pacifically personified
In surrounds
Of wild violets
And grasses
As green
As memory...
In effigy, the road-signs
Of his eyes
Tell of places
Such as
Slipping into
The blue veiled
I can accord or
Stall the fable.
The X-Factor
To rat-a-tat loudly
On the door
Of hard knocks
The border patrol -,
A conductor's
Lucidity -,
The pentagonal
... And the capsized
'Four and twenty'
Marauding six-penny
Apple carts
A higher power.

The Gamut
Luck under the guise of practice
lends belief, colored, narrow
without knowing so—in my mind's eye
solutions are pragmatic, rational, obvious—
really though, hollow, rooms
with only three walls, perhaps a floor—
yes, feel the ground
above, see all the weather
Not-Doing Everything
Practice not-doing / and everything
will fall into place
-Tao Te Ching (Stephen Mitchell, trans.)
Straightaway this feels sinful.
But then, I wonder if monks suffer
from depression. Some must.
Nobody is just born.
I cannot come up with any nuances in denial.
The Laundry People
have this clever policy:
You call to tell them,
Washer 1 & 3 are broken
again, and then they ask,
How much money did you lose?
When you get a call back
from the man who allegedly
does the fixing, he will
mention the amount of money
you said you lost.
But you will never see this
money again. Words mean
so much to me, I mean
I covet words. If that is enough
for others, I will call us even.

Fears Fall into Rain
Fears fall out walking into the rain
umbrella opens to the remaining years.
Generalized fears I know them all by their first names.
Near night, I hear the last call of the red-winged blackbird, before dusk.
October 23rd, 2014 I am watching the sky blue, mixed confused, with gray clouds,
white feather strokes in-between, than the partial solar eclipse the moon took a chunk out of the sun.
Then a ghost hangs from a maple tree.
I hear the typewriter stroking near Halloween.
Fall is Golden (V5)
The last golden yellow apple
hangs like a healing miracle
bow down old apple tree
winter is coming.
Life is a single thread this time.
Golden woman is a sharp eye fall woman.
She watches leaves turn shy,
around, turn many colors,
colors dance of joy then death.
Winter is a vampire,
she is a prelude to Spring:
walk days into faith, grace, and salvation.
Sparrows perch on bare branches nearby,
more interested in my bird feeder, now,
then they will be in the early spring.
Life is on its way to seasonal heaven's door.
My old willow tree, shaking, wind dances.
Its narrow leaves splinters yellowed,
spin loose fall down.
In a short time winter must learn
to write straight, complete, surrender, forfeiture.
World outside my balcony window
is compelling, cold yet,
I return to my bedroom, tuck in, restful.
Nikki, kitten beside me, dreams
of gold, hints of Jesus forever sleep.
Two Single Flowers
yet so
this yellow rose
this yellow daisy
I place
your door.
Resurrection Mary
I learned years ago, true stories against myths.
I learned early in hustle time to distinguish single cash back rewards
from whores-dime store dancers from true date believers-
I never worried about the sentence structure of my life.
Life is a melody breather, philosophy of ghosts, past, pink pillow talk.
Resurrection Mary was my history teacher, my lesson, lover in white satin.
Single life is a hollow road, and a narrow road with a cemetery nearby.
I was then and now a writer poetry of screams, dementia, limited skills, and open skulls.
I hampered history into our craniums, criminal minds, images of release, sperm climax.
When she was conscious, she kissed my breath, and dreamed of my beginning, my end.
I was a drifter of singles dances; she was a drifter of time, shadow maker.
I often breathed on her forehead, sucked on her toes, left the body for legends
toss carcass into the south wind and south gate storms.
Jesus is a perfume seller of night scent.
Jesus is aroused and an iron bar bender, stretcher of the nights into years.
Mary clutches her small purse, passes of injustice, and hitchhikes back and forth in time.
I am stamped; shake me, watch click in time-
Resurrection Mary still holds a red wine glass, end of the barstool in time.
Shake it all off, no shame; put those dancing shoes on, one more time.
There was nothing special about women, young in Chicago 30's.
Resurrection Mary, danced, stamped a white wedding dress poetry mind, sex out, gone.
She taught me oral sex at lunchtime.
Resurrection Mary, we still hold, wine, at end of the barstool.
Shake, no shame, put those dancing shoes on.
Footnote: Resurrection Mary is a well-known Chicago area ghost story. Of the "vanishing hitchhiker" type, the story takes place outside Resurrection Cemetery in Justice, Illinois, a few miles southwest of Chicago. Quote taken from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

I have a fear of kāla* which knots any situation
into nets as those seconds strike by.
Perhaps I should crush those boxes by standing
on clocks and dancing? I have not learnt to be brave -
to see petals emerge from the enfolding days of a flower.
My Nana's cousin, Reg, was a prisoner of war.
On the train, as he rushed past planes
of blood (in carriages of webs and dark spinnerets,)
he found a hole in the wooden slats and peeked out.
He saw golden fields, poppies, houses. Everything rushed
by so quickly. Such beauty. Such light.
*kāla -the Sanskrit word for time
*Shambhu - a name for Shiva, meaning source of bliss
Words written by the poet's Nana that place the above poem in context:
"Reg was taken prisoner with thousands of British soldiers, in northern France during the 2nd world war, by General Rommel's armoured tank division. It was on the 12th June 1940, three days after his 21st birthday - a birthday to remember. Their horrendous journey by foot, on cattle trucks and barges eventually ended in Poland, where they were kept as prisoners, by the Germans, until they were liberated in 1945 by General Patton's American army. On his journey to Poland he managed to throw a message in a bottle, into the sea, telling his mother that he had been taken prisoner. Against all odds, the bottle was found and his mother was immediately contacted; she later informed the war office of Reg's capture and imprisonment.
Reg went on to marry and led a long and happy life until his death, earlier this year on the 4th January 2015, aged 95 years. Among his possessions was the message in a bottle, which had been returned to him many years ago."
With Broken Wings
When I imagine Earth in my mind's eye
I see a globe floating amidst bands of waves
that ripple across vast and arcane oceans.
I no longer see my house. My planet is home.
Yet twisting my wings between your fingers,
you pin them down - that's you. Please
not there, I beg, don't pin me down
beneath your thumb, I say, as I rip my wings and crawl away.
I slip around the globe, perhaps you see it on my belly
and I ask: what's in a hand
if your words are pins?
The Celts in China
'You come in and never come out,'
that's what 'Taklamakan' means according to the Uyghur
people of Xinjiang. But we're Celts
and we've walked too far. I dream again,
chase sand as years build this desert and Loulan town rises
like a dune. I follow caravans on old Silk Road until it's all blown down again.
We've been teased with grains of prosperity in Tarim Basin where we'll sleep,
on dry, alkaline sheets. Yet my dreams cannot turn light to water - helpless,
I watch my lover's lips shrivel between his ginger beard
as he expresses respect with carefully placed stones - I save two and paint
them blue. They'll shield my baby's eyes from the monotony of sand
as the desert drags us from the right to enrich our life with choices.
There's enough energy for one more dream and I see you, in a museum,
examining my body in a glass casket and cowering, you glare back at a mirror.
Well I'm telling you: before our eyes drooped, I picked my own burial gown
and swept a comb through my lover's hair.

A Lover's Farewell
A suitcase lies by the door
like a dying animal.
We do not go near it.
I sit with my head in a book.
I delight in facts.
I pick them over with relish.
I am aware of movements within the house,
but I do not concern myself with them.
When you enter the room
I cannot bear to look at you:
if one thought should lift,
a stray ember, and attach itself
to you, I know I am lost
and if I should begin to tune in
to your footfall, to your comings
and your goings, I am finished –
it would make this leaving impossible.
Not the lingering gaze of the tracking camera
but the glance.
Not the dramatic arc of the woodland edge
but dark branches against cold, clear sky.
Not the swelling satisfaction of flowing land
but the exposed edge of the hidden hill
pencil fine
and the sharp tug in the abdomen
that steals the wind from you.
Girl in the Park
She stands in the mist-piercing
pouring light of morning.
Like an archer, she bends her arm
poised for a moment, immortal,
her bronze dog paused, waiting
for its ball to be thrown.
And yet she was ever thus –
whether fiddling with her phone
on the back seat of the bus
or wobbling down High Street
on heels that seemed like stilts.
It took this moment to see it.

Suitcase Baby
I was born on a black-hearted day
by a railway line and a silver lava road.
She laid me down in my grease/ her blood
upon the pearlised lining, swaddled
in her camisole. My head touched the pouches'
chilly edges of her plated cigarette case
and Psalms. I breathed dust at each corner,
crumbs of grey hydrangea, tattered bits of hair.
I remember everything. The weave above my head
once blue as a starry chapel. The smell of leather
and antiseptic. Locks like castanets.
Of course I grew, tested the boundaries.
From rooming house to rooming house
she smuggled me in, set me out
under my battered canopy.
I could see for miles from there, right back
to the one travelling sperm
as it wheedled to be sucked inside
the four pillars of my deliverance.
Road and Imaginary Mountains
Born under Capricorn I'm a climber
but I fear heights and the higher I go
the more lost I am -
some days are one mountain after another,
only a thin ridge with a sheer drop
to cross between them
one slip
and I'm gone:
who will be the one (Taurus, probably,
or Virgo, feet firm on the ground)
to tell me the road is straight,
flat, the hedgerows are brimming with birds,
berries, we have been this way before
so many times, come on, it's easy?
Gallows House
All night the cisterns whisper.
A lantern on its long chain
ticks and mutters in the stairwell,
something in the roof-light
breathes and blanches
where the crow hung.
There are scuff-marks over the floor.
The child I was crosses the landing,
a torch swings round, sudden – zoetrope's
galloping alphabet of silverish
fingerprints – all night I pick at the roof catch
as if I could spring it open.

Cold and Shallow Waters
The beach, pebbles and sharp edges,
Spray mists as sea-weed reduce sight;
The Street all sand and stone,
They walk along in silence.
A wave at ankle height
Laps along, foams around, stops
In shallow waters, such shallow waters.
Cold wind blows the shallow waters.
Every afternoon in Tankerton
A child dies, every afternoon,
Two figures circle the beach huts
And the day is a lost, sobbing toddler.
Storm clouds billow and the storm cracks
No gull's song whistles in the wind,
When I found you amongst the groynes
Near shallow waters, such shallow waters.
A body lies bleached by the sailing club
Where clothes and eyes are sodden
Archangel of cold, ice winds
Stab your face and an exposed neck;
Shake like sea campion blown, shivers
Bindweed, mourning on the Slopes.
A telephone call, distant cries,
"Was it quick?" "Who died?"
By the shallow waters, such cold waters.
In your absence love remains
as close as breath, constant
as space around your chair;
your dinner plate is waiting,
I keep it clean
just in case.
Nakbah, Nakbah
'Nakbah,Nakbah', the cry carries by
new wailing walls that border olive groves
where my father worked once,
now wasted olives lay by new-built roads,
Mahmoud against impenetrable stone,
settlers' roads are laid in Gaza,
no-one hears the trees fall where asphalt lies,
no-one sees his haggard eyes or feels
his defeat when olives cease or as
silver leaves, as used up as debris piled
outside my room, two bathtubs big,
and there too he sits, abject and alone;
I stumble over the rubble of words
and all I hear is 'Nakbah, Nakbah'

Broken Cello
I recall your body
beneath a spotlight
its smooth maple shine
the smile
on your player's face
as he drew his bow across you
I heard you lost your end pin
to some careless hands
one of your f-holes
fissured in the back of a van
string free I'm told
your bridge is now bare
your tail piece
no longer vibrates.
Thicker than Blood
You're fond of the way I wash my clothes
in the High Street. Fuck them, you say,
sleep deep and dream dirty.
You know the good and bad of life, when
the heart is a torrent, it's how you guddle
a friend from the shallows of failed love.
A shared brandy, a glass of red or
a calm cup of tea when we're close.
You know when my heart leaks,
my brow sweats, when there's a drip in my voice.
It's no one's fault. Just my own thirst for a glass
of water, to lose myself in its court of law.
We remember that water passes, the mill stops,
the dry blades of the waterwheel can still turn.
My mouth holds all the secrets we've shared.
Jean Genet Comes Clean
The piece of silk was my mother.
She left me on rue Denfert-Rochereau.
I was found crying; naked on a pillow.
As a ward of the state, I was given a number.
The suitcase was full. I took
the history and philosophy books.
After reading, I sold them. I kept
the call-cards and the condoms.
When the judge asked me why
I had stolen twelve handkerchiefs,
I told him, one was for my back pocket,
some to clean my prick; sore and black
with newsprint, the others for jism.
The shirt was my father, but I lost that too.

Half Empty
And while
there is breath
in your lungs
and warm blood
in your veins
you keep on swimming
For a corpse
may have its last
as the plasma coagulates
in its concrete limbs
And you may say
it all stops, but surely,
life is better than that
The stream
will not carry this one
off the tower block
of existence
Jigsaw Puzzle
Just because
the foam jigsaw puzzle
doesn't fit together
doesn't mean
that it's inferior
and even if
the yellow slots awkwardly
against lime green pieces
never meant
to be forced together
in the first place
doesn't mean
you should love it less,
or that
you can find the snake,
but not the ladder.
Look all around you;
at your clipboard
with the metal ring
that doesn't quite
snap neatly into place
Do you discriminate
about everything
in life?
Times Tables
Twelve times twelve
is a hundred and forty,
the number you aim to reach
at the end of your multiplications,
and hence graduate
from primary school.
A hundred and forty
was the weight of a perfect martial artist.

Charles Haslewood Shannon, artist
Hanging pictures, he fell,
struck his head on the marble
floor, and was knocked out
for seventy-two hours.
The sun went down. Its rays
illuminated those pictures –
assembled with such care –
fell on the bearded man
who lay there, fully dressed,
heavily breathing. Too
dangerous, they thought, to move him.
He woke up, but was
never the same person,
didn't know his best friend.
The circuits of his brain –
that fine brain – hopelessly jumbled.
Lived for some years, but this,
in fact, was where he ended.
Reading, decades on,
about that fall, I sense
the blow, the intense shock waves
travel through my cranium.
I feel my closest friend
slip through my arms and crash
on that unyielding floor.
Cutting a rose bush, stretching
for books from the highest shelf,
teetering on some ladder,
Be careful! shrieks a voice.
That's marble! That's cold stone!
Poem for Martha Evans
Martha, when you are a stout
old lady, as I hope you'll be
when the century runs out,
stop the party, raise your glass,
brief pause, remember me.
I caught the millennium bug
from some malignant power
in 2000, and woke up
to cheers and fireworks, having slept
right through the magic hour.
Baby bulge of 2013
which included you,
Martha, when they drop the curtain
on me, how shall I imagine
what you may live through?
Marlowe Lives
I dropped off the pier in darkness, the short May night
my cloak; I'd secreted some gold, and remembered passwords,
and soon we were sculling down the Thames toward Europe;
now I had a new name, and I'd done this before.
Christopher Marlowe's body lay on a slab in Deptford,
soon to go under the earth, and the coroner had been fixed.
Time to leave that man behind; unlike smooth-tongued Shakespeare,
he wasn't a man who kept away from brawls.
Life under Good Queen Bess is cheap; I'm sailing –
who knows where? To a massacre in Paris?
To conquer the world? Perhaps in a year or two I'll drop
a note to my mother. Perhaps not. Marlowe is dead.

On being an extra
I promised I'd get back with a bit more about our visit up to the set... better late than never!
Everyone kept telling me that the two main things about being an extra were good food and excruciating boredom. The first was certainly true – the food on the set was some of the best we had on the Gold Coast, and I simply can't figure out how they served a top restaurant standard in those numbers, and on variable times. I have enough trouble with a dinner party for four!
But bored… no. Even going to Wardrobe to have our clothes checked seemed exciting (we'd been given instructions on what to wear – I'm embarrassed to admit what a huge suitcase of selections we took in our panic to get it right, though in the end Tom's apparel was still augmented from props!) But the main thing was watching the process from the inside, being part of it, repeating my tiny 'role', over and over, as many times as it took for that split second of film to be completed, and understanding a little bit more of the process of making a movie.

Time to report in on Conference Weekend and our Conference Concession Program (yep, it was so official I feel like using all caps for it!). As you will recall, the boys had been earning tickets for a few weeks that they were to redeem on goodies during Conference. It turned out great! Here's what the "concession stand," looked like:
Up close:
And here are their jars! Corey and I were so proud of the boys. Each one of those little tickets represents something they did RIGHT:
The boys started purchasing things at the very beginning of the first session. They stuck around in the kitchen to enjoy some toys and treats, and left to the little back yard to enjoy others. While they were inside they managed to eat or play quietly which allowed Corey and I to listen. I don't think I have ever heard so much of the Saturday session! It was fantastic! And the boys actually listened to some too! Huzzah!
Truman didn't earn any tickets, but we did sneak him a few treats for free 🙂 Also he spent some time eating his Easter Candy:
Have I told you lately that I love this baby?!? That we ALL love this baby??? Just looking at these pictures makes me want to go grab him out of bed for a squeeze and a kiss!
During conference I really loved and appreciated our little backyard. It was so nice to watch Conference in the kitchen and still be able to keep an eye on the boys… who were having the time of their lives outside. Jack and Aly played with their newly purchased toys. Truman walked around in circles and put rocks in a box.
And seriously… Is there anything cuter than a baby wearing nothing but a onesie and tennis shoes? Oh! And carrying his sippy around??? This kid was the last to come inside. He spent a good 20 minutes out there by himself just walking, walking, walking:
Back inside, Jack and Alaster listened to more of the Session. Imagine Jack's delight as he heard not one but TWO speakers use the scripture he had just memorized in preparation to be baptized! Pres. Eyring and Sister Dalton both cited it. I was so happy that Sister Dalton's reference of it was in a cool story. Jack heard them, recognized it right away, and was super excited!
Then there were more purchases… more snacking… and more playing:
It truly was a wonderful family day. The spirit was strong… we were all happy and enjoying each other and the day… Isn't conference the best?!?
On Sunday we headed over to Gram and Grampa's. Awaiting the boys were more fun conference traditions. Gram always chooses words for the boys to listen for. If they hear the word they earn a treat from the bucket with that word. There was another list of words too on her chalkboard that they could listen for to earn coins that allowed them to purchase toys from a bucket that she put together after the session. Too cute! Here are the treat buckets:
And what did Truman spy??
Buckets where they could put their earnings:
Truman was so cute that day:
And I don't think the boys have ever listened to Conference as much as they did on Sunday. They wrote down all the special words on a piece of paper, listened carefully, and made tally marks every time they heard a word. Jack didn't leave that recliner at ALL during the Sunday morning session. And thankfully, even though he was mostly listening for the special words, he also listened to what the speakers were saying. His favorite talk was Sister Wixom's. He really liked all of her stories!
Yay for Conference! Did you have a favorite talk/moment? My favorite Conference talk was actually from the YW Broadcast. Sister Dalton gave a super powerful talk to the girls… so powerful in fact that I knew it must be her last. Last talks are always so good because I think the person realizes it's their last chance to impart something important and meaningful. Sister Dalton is my favorite! She's right up there with Sister Hinckley, and that is really saying something 🙂 Her teachings have blessed my life tremendously, and I am sad to see her go. 😦
Other favorite talks were "The Savior Wants to Forgive," by Elder Cardon, "The Lord's Way," by Elder Ellis, and… of course… "Lord, I Believe," by everyone's favorite speaker… Elder Holland. I'm sure I will have many more favorites as I study them in the coming months!
One last cool thing… I got to choose 2 talks for our Stake to study on the 4th Sundays of the month! Our Stake President chose the first 4, and he asked that I choose the last 2. After praying and pondering about it… I felt we should study "Catch the Wave," by Elder Nelson, and "Obedience Brings Blessings," by our Dear Prophet, President Monson.
My favorite moment in conference was actually from President Monson's talk. (This moment was not at ALL the reason that I chose it, but it was a really good moment for me personally.) Raise your hands… any other mothers… who felt comforted by the fact that President Monson would do something so crazy like starting that fire as a little boy??? I could totally see my boys doing something like that. And now… if they do? I will take a deep breath… think of President Monson… and not be so worried about their future and how they will turn out.
Your turn! I'd love to know which talks were your fave!

I am able to work by myself for the everyday tasks involved in looking after horses. I recognize when a horse is in pain or feeling down, I also know how to react in emergency situations and passed a first aid horse certificate 5 years ago.
I have been specially helping a friend during the training and breaking-in of young horses as I really like the natural horsemanship approach. I have also trained my own horse, 4 years ago, so I am used to riding unexperienced horses.

Parts of the Northwest Expressway were closed for nearly three hours during the afternoon rush hour yesterday after a man claimed he had a bomb in his car with enough explosives to blow up the roadway, state police said.
Police never found a bomb.
But traffic was slowed to a crawl for more than 10 miles from the Beltway near Roslyn Station to Reisterstown, angering commuters.
It was the second time this week that commuters on the expressway, Interstate 795, suffered a long delay.
On Monday, a tractor-trailer overturned on the northbound I-795 ramp from the inner loop of Interstate 695. The passenger was killed and the driver seriously injured.
