All Our Names by Dinaw Mengestu
From acclaimed author Dinaw Mengestu, a recipient of the National Book Foundation's 5 Under 35 award, The New Yorker's 20 Under 40 award, and a 2012 MacArthur Foundation genius grant, is an unforgettable love story about a searing affair between an American woman and an African man in 1970s America and an unflinching novel about the fragmentation of lives that straddle countries and histories. All Our Names is the story of two young men who come of age during an African revolution, drawn from the safe confines of the university campus into the intensifying clamor of the streets outside. But as the line between idealism and violence becomes increasingly blurred, the friends are driven apart—one into the deepest peril, as the movement gathers inexorable force, and the other into the safety of exile in the American Midwest. There, pretending to be an exchange student, he falls in love with a social worker and settles into small-town life. Yet this idyll is inescapably darkened by the secrets of his past: the acts he committed and the work he left unfinished. Most of all, he is haunted by the beloved friend he left behind, the charismatic leader who first guided him to revolution and then sacrificed everything to ensure his freedom. Elegiac, blazing with insights about the physical and emotional geographies that circumscribe our lives, All Our Names is a marvel of vision and tonal command. Writing within the grand tradition of Naipul, Greene, and Achebe, Mengestu gives us a political novel that is also a transfixing portrait of love and grace, of self-determination and the names we are given and the names we earn.
Otherhood by Melanie Notkin
More American women are childless than ever before—nearly half those of childbearing age don't have children. While our society often assumes these women are "childfree by choice," that's not always true. In reality, many of them expected to marry and have children, but it simply hasn't happened. Wrongly judged as picky or career-obsessed, they make up the "Otherhood," a growing demographic that has gone without definition or visibility until now. In Otherhood, author Melanie Notkin reveals her own story as well as the honest, poignant, humorous, and occasionally heartbreaking stories of women in her generation—women who expected love, marriage, and parenthood, but instead found themselves facing a different reality. She addresses the reasons for this shift, the social and emotional impact it has on our collective culture, and how the "new normal" will affect our society in the decades to come. Notkin aims to reassure women that they are not alone and encourages them to find happiness and fulfillment no matter what the future holds. A groundbreaking exploration of an essential contemporary issue, Otherhood inspires thought-provoking conversation and gets at the heart of our cultural assumptions about single women and childlessness.
Savage Harvest: A Tale of Cannibals, Colonialism, and Michael Rockefeller's Tragic Quest for Primitive Art by Carl Hoffman
The mysterious disappearance of Michael Rockefeller in New Guinea in 1961 has kept the world and his powerful, influential family guessing for years. Now, Carl Hoffman uncovers startling new evidence that finally tells the full, astonishing story. Despite exhaustive searches, no trace of Rockefeller was ever found. Soon after his disappearance, rumors surfaced that he'd been killed and ceremonially eaten by the local Asmat—a native tribe of warriors whose complex culture was built around sacred, reciprocal violence, head hunting, and ritual cannibalism. The Dutch government and the Rockefeller family denied the story, and Michael's death was officially ruled a drowning. Yet doubts lingered. Sensational rumors and stories circulated, fueling speculation and intrigue for decades. The real story has long waited to be told—until now. Retracing Rockefeller's steps, award-winning journalist Carl Hoffman traveled to the jungles of New Guinea, immersing himself in a world of headhunters and cannibals, secret spirits and customs, and getting to know generations of Asmat. Through exhaustive archival research, he uncovered never-before-seen original documents and located witnesses willing to speak publically after fifty years. In Savage Harvest he finally solves this decades-old mystery and illuminates a culture transformed by years of colonial rule, whose people continue to be shaped by ancient customs and lore. Combining history, art, colonialism, adventure, and ethnography, Savage Harvest is a mesmerizing whodunit, and a fascinating portrait of the clash between two civilizations that resulted in the death of one of America's richest and most powerful scions.
Every Day Is for the Thief by Teju Cole
A young Nigerian living in New York City goes home to Lagos for a short visit, finding a city both familiar and strange. In a city dense with story, the unnamed narrator moves through a mosaic of life, hoping to find inspiration for his own. He witnesses the "yahoo yahoo" diligently perpetrating email frauds from an Internet café, longs after a mysterious woman reading on a public bus who disembarks and disappears into a bookless crowd, and recalls the tragic fate of an eleven-year-old boy accused of stealing at a local market. Along the way, the man reconnects with old friends, a former girlfriend, and extended family, taps into the energies of Lagos life—creative, malevolent, ambiguous—and slowly begins to reconcile the profound changes that have taken place in his country and the truth about himself. In spare, precise prose that sees humanity everywhere, interwoven with original photos by the author, Every Day Is for the Thief—originally published in Nigeria in 2007—is a wholly original work of fiction. This revised and updated edition is the first version of this unique book to be made available outside Africa. You've never read a book like Every Day Is for the Thief because no one writes like Teju Cole.
Uganda Be Kidding Me by Chelsea Handler
Wherever Chelsea Handler travels, one thing is certain: she always ends up in the land of the ridiculous. Now, in this uproarious collection, she sneaks her sharp wit through airport security and delivers her most absurd and hilarious stories ever. On safari in Africa, it's anyone's guess as to what's more dangerous: the wildlife or Chelsea. But whether she's fumbling the seduction of a guide by not knowing where tigers live (Asia, duh) or wearing a bathrobe into the bush because her clothes stopped fitting seven margaritas ago, she's always game for the next misadventure. The situation gets down and dirty as she defiles a kayak in the Bahamas, and outright sweaty as she escapes from a German hospital on crutches. When things get truly scary, like finding herself stuck next to a passenger with bad breath, she knows she can rely on her family to make matters even worse. Thank goodness she has the devoted Chunk by her side-except for the time she loses him in Telluride. Complete with answers to the most frequently asked traveler's questions, hot travel trips, and travel etiquette, none of which should be believed, UGANDA BE KIDDING ME has Chelsea taking on the world, one laugh-out-loud incident at a time.

Vastu Shastra is an ancient Indian science, dealing with the construction methods for building environment friendly dwellings which are synchronized with nature, surroundings, cosmic energy, gravitational forces, electromagnetic waves and universe.
It is believed that the properties that are designed in accordance with it attract positive energies and ward off evil and negative emotions in the surroundings. In thousands of cases, marital disputes and strains between relations has been an outcome of the negative energies created by houses that are against the Vastu Shastra.

This has to be one of the strangest posts I have ever done. While researching last year about a book I acquired called "The Holly Boy", I came up empty handed for my 1955 copy of this book, except for a very interesting comment on a blog post that you will see below (highlighted in green). The post was a quick review of a newer version of the book "The Legend of Holly Boy", the most interesting part came in the comment section.
Keep that in mind... but first let me introduce you to someone you have probably never heard of, The Holly Boy. Written by Frank Latino and illustrated by Beatrice Grover. Published by Helen Cole, Inc. 1955. This book seems to be the first edition.
Try as I might and even checking different search engines, I never found anything about The Holly Boy, it continually came up The Legend of the Holly Boy. I did not find one other image or mention of the book that I have in my possession. If any of you readers have information about this book or have ever heard or seen it, please share. Let me tell you a bit about the story.
This is actually a very sweet Christmas book about a girl named Linda, who wonders about the happiness of a holly wreath hanging in her window. She laments that the holly was alive, but now has been cut up and tied into a shape of a wreath and how could it possibly be happy? To her surprise the holly wreath comes alive and forms itself into the shape of a boy. He tells Linda not to feel sorry for him.
The Holly Boy continues to explain to Linda why he is the happiest he has ever been. After he feels he has convinced her that he is fine, the Holly Boy whirls himself back into the shape of a wreath and is back hanging on her window again. Below are the Holly Boy's last words to Linda.
It is a wonderful feel good message that we can all embrace during the holiday season. Of course we do not want to go down the path of where the Holly Boy ended up after the holidays, well not with Linda anyway.
We all know that he ended up in the fireplace, burn pile, or compost heap. So that is the basic story, but it didn't end there. Researching on the internet brings up all sorts of interesting tidbits. As I mentioned earlier I came across this unusual post and comment.
Below is the comment from a reader of the now idle blog Here We Are.
jpholly said...
I Am The Holly Boy....!
In the late 1950s, my family (our last name is Holly) lived across the street from a man named John Jones and his family in Hackensack, New Jersey. Mr. Jones owned a recording studio that was used mostly for recording commercial jingles. Mr. Jones had a group of musicians that he worked with, including a jingle writer, an arranger, singers, instrumentalists etc. Hoping to cash in on the tremendous commercial success of such 1950s holiday songs as "White Christmas," "Silver Bells," "Let It Snow," etc., Mr. Jones decided to produce a Christmas record. Since we lived across the street and I was often playing at their house with their two sons who were approximately my age, he got the idea of calling the song "The Holly Boy." The words and music to the song were written by Frank Latino, whom I believe was one of the jingle writers he worked with. Here's the amazing part - the arranger and conductor of the music was a 27-year old trumpet player and studio musician named Quincy Jones. He was no relation to John Jones, the studio owner, but he is the same Quincy Jones who has since won 27 Grammy Awards!
The song was released as a 45-RPM record called "The Holly Boy." It was sung by a very good singer named Betty Cox, who was at the time the substitute "Chanpagne Lady" on the Lawrence Welk Show.
Frank Latino also wrote a story to go with the song that was published as a children's book - the book that is the subject of this blog post. The song never became a hit, but the book somehow caught on and is still in print and can be purchased through Amazon, etc., almost 50 years after its initial publication. In 2002, the book was used as the basis of a holiday movie called "A Light In The Forest" starring Lindsay Wagner, Edward Albert and Carol Lynley, among others. Unfortunately, the movie was not much of a success either. Old copies of the record are occasionally available for sale on ebay. If anyone wants to hear the song, I'll post a link.
Sorry to be so long-winded, but that's my story....!
John Peter Holly
October 22, 2008 4:37 PM
Wondering if any of this could be true, I did a bit of research.
jpholly did use the proper title of the original book, which is "The Holly Boy".
The book was published in 1955, so it would have been mid-50's that he lived next to the writer, not late 50's. Which would have made the book over 50 years old, not almost. The rest of the story seems to check out. Sure enough, I was able to locate the song done by Betty Cox, listen to it by clicking here. Last night it worked and I listened to the song, for some reason I keep getting an error message today. Aarggh! Try this home video on Youtube. It's an amateur, but pretty funny!
This is the 45 record ....
But wait, there's more. Is there a John Peter Holly? Well, yes there is. There is a music conductor by the same name who lived in the New Jersey area for many years. It looks as though he may have relocated to MA. He may or may not be the same person.
Maybe he will show up and add a comment to my blog someday.
Below you will find an image of the Holly Boy provided by Seven Crows (Kari)!
She posted this on Pinterest and I have provided the link to her pin. Read her comment below.
Thank you Kari! I loved hearing more about the elusive Holly Boy!
"Good morning cravecute, I found your article about THE HOLLY BOY by FRANK LATINO.Here is the real history of the creation of The Holly Boy.My mother Aimee Marino worked for American Home owned by Frank and Charlie Latino.This Holly Boy was designed by my mother Aimee Marino and created both by Aimee Marino and Charlie Latino.At the time of The Holly Boy creation I was a mere seven years old and cherished this Holly Boy. I would play the song created for The Holly Boy and still to this day have one of the original books from1955. Although years have passed I still find it entertaining to read it every year at Christmas time.I am pleased to have been able to share with you and your readers the true story of The Holly Boy.Have a Merry Christmas,Genevieve Marino Wilson"
.... And there's More!

Laura Kate and Matthew. Matthew and Laura Kate. Such a sweet story of how they have been friends since they were 16! 7 years later they realised that they were more than best friends and embarked on a journey together that would years later turn into their biggest journey to date, their wedding day! They love to travel and have been all over the world and seen so many amazing sites. They adore Disney (so just a bunch of big kids really!) and they used this joy of theirs to plan their wedding. When I first met them, I noticed how smiley and happy they were. I then noticed all the yellow. It's Laura's favourite colour and it really sums her up, bright, sweet, happy, and just beaming. On her wedding day she told me she always wanted to be a Disney Princess, and in everyone's eyes she really was. Her yellow shoes were amazing, and just the most perfect touch to her fairytale ensemble - she told me they were her 'Minnie Mouse' shoes. Both of them were a-wash with nerves that morning, but as soon as they saw each other in that church, their eyes sparkled and their faces turned into huge smiles.
It was such a beautiful day, and all the details were hard to miss. Laura and Matthew spent so much time and energy into making their day so unique to them with all the things they love. The string band played Walt Disney songs like When You Wish Upon a Star and Somewhere Over the Rainbow mixed with roaring bouts of laughter from the guests. Selfie sicks were left at the tables for the guests, along with little parcels labeled 'Open Me'. They are hands down, one of the sweetest, most thoughtful couples. As I drove away that evening I looked behind me and saw the amazing Chicheley Hall lit up with disco lights with the stars shining so brightly above. I had to run back and find the happy couple for one more photo....

III. Election Day 2017
Kansas: As happens in every major election, one contest in Kansas came down to coin toss. In the Mission Woods council race two candidates tied with 35 votes apiece. Even after provisional ballots were added, the contest remained deadlocked leading to the coin flip. Tails was the winning side.
Also in Kansas, polling places experienced problems scanning driver's licenses on the state's e-poll book system. Apparently the scanners cannot read the barcodes in the state's new Real ID licenses.
Maine: More than a week after the election, a set of dentures left in a Portland voting booth still have not been claimed. City Clerk Katherine Jones is beginning to wonder if they really are someone's dentures or if it was just a practical joke.
Michigan: Anita Belle, a candidate in last week's Detroit election, has filed suit in the Third Judicial Circuit of Michigan claiming that absentee ballots were not processed correctly and they are therefore susceptible to election rigging.
Ohio: Secretary of State Jon Husted is ordering the Mahoning County board of elections to conduct a formal review of what went wrong when a mistake led to more than 6,000 early vote ballots being double counted. In a letter to the board members, Husted wrote the report "must document how the tabulation error occurred and what steps the board plans to implement to ensure that a similar error is not repeated and that the media and the public are notified of any amended unofficial election results."
Oregon: In Lane County, election staff had to be sent out to two drop boxes to retrieve ballots that people had tried to stuff into the drop boxes after they were locked at 8 pm on election night. "We certainly have the boxes locked," County Clerk Cheryl Betschart, told Oregon Public Broadcasting. "I'm not sure why they tried to stuff them in there."
Pennsylvania: It took 22 county workers five hours, but York County has completed its review of 59,000 ballots. The review was prompted by a voting machine error that would have allowed voters to cast their ballot for more than one candidate in a race. In addition, an outside auditor is doing an independent verification of the recount. The county hopes to announce the final results next week.
Utah: In Utah County, Clerk/Auditor Bryan Thompson had to have staff fill in ovals on ballots after a write-in candidate provided pre-printed stickers with his name and an oval filled in for voters to attach to their mail ballots. On election night, the machines could not read the ballots with the stickers so Thompson had staff fill them in.
Virginia: While Election Day in Virginia went off with relatively few issues controversy is swirling after the fact in Stafford County after the county board of elections refused to count 55 late-arriving absentee ballots in a House race that is separated by 82 votes. The Democratic caucus of the House of Delegates has filed suit.

Australia Post honours war correspondent Charles Edwin Woodrow Bean in its 2017 Centenary of World War I commemorative stamp issue, which focuses on the war during 1917. The photograph in the stamp design was taken by Herbert Baldwin on 26 February 1917. It shows Bean as the keen observer he was, watching the Australian advance through a telescope near Martinpuich, France.
FindYourStampsValue.com invites all philately enthusiasts to appreciate the design and get acquainted with the historical background of these special items!
Australia Post Philatelic Manager Michael Zsolt said: "This year's issue is the fourth in a five-year program commemorating the centenary of WWI. Correspondent Charles Bean was a key non-combat figure, who recorded Australia's part in the war and initiated our national military heritage collection. We hope his place in this stamp issue reminds all Australians of his significant legacy."
Bean won the Australian Associated Press ballot, in 1914, to become Australia's official war correspondent. He departed for the war in November of that year with the first contingent of the AIF, which disembarked in Egypt. The war would come to dominate his career and life: as well as writing dispatches from the front, he wrote the multi-volume official history of Australia's part in WWI, commenced the Australia's WWI collection, and conceived of the Australian War Memorial as place to house our national military heritage.
The stamps also represent four other thematic strands: the Australian Flying Corps, which entered the skies above the Western Front in late 1917; the Third Battle of Ypres, which cost so many Australian lives; the Sinai–Palestine campaign, which waged in the East; and the crucial home-front support for the troops by an army of mainly women.

Walking the Walk of Community Development through Successful Business Partnerships
May 12, 2016, 08:00 ET
GILBERTS, Ill., May 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Ductilcrete Slab Systems, LLC is a leader in designing concrete floor and paving systems with increased joint spacing and virtually no cracking – a revolutionary approach to the traditional concrete floor industry. When the company was founded in 2012, its leadership had a vision of providing an innovative and long-overdue improvement to the typical pitfalls of the concrete floor industry (e.g. larger number of joints, higher maintenance costs, and shorter warranty, to name a few). Consequently, Ductilcrete began to offer a solution that is more sustainable and economically-sound.
In addition to attaining its business goal, Ductilcrete also set out to differentiate itself by upholding its core value of giving back to others. The company utilizes a formula developed by its leadership to automatically set aside a monetary allocation to various non-profits. Since one of Ductilcrete's competitive advantages is reducing the amount of concrete floor joints by more than 70%, the company donates $52.80 for every mile of joints it has saved its customers on their new floors. As a result, various local and national charities continue to benefit from Ductilcrete's commitment.
In 2016, one of Ductilcrete's licensees, the Conlan Company out of Atlanta, GA, passed a major milestone of having placed 10 million square feet of Ductilcrete's patented concrete floor system. This major success of the partnership of the two companies was commemorated with a major donation to the American Cancer Society – a charity selected by Gary Condron, the CEO of the Conlan Company. Considering this as well as past successes, Ductilcrete's leadership is looking forward to more opportunities with the Conlan Company as well as through other partnerships to fulfill their commitment to their customers as well as their communities.
Ductilcrete Slab Systems LLC:
Ductilcrete Slab Systems encompasses a family of concrete flatwork systems that include slabs, pavements and toppings. Although, not formally founded until 2012, Ductilcrete's success can be attributed to more than ten years of research by Greg Scurto and Allen Face. Today in 2016, Ductilcrete's 26 alliance members are responsible for having placed more than 265 projects equating to 66 million square feet. Ductilcrete's accelerated growth has been a result of the significant value that developers, users and owners are experiencing.
- Ductilcrete delivers high performing slabs and pavements designed to remain flat and level with virtually no curl.
- Its patented system creates concrete floors that feature up to 75% fewer joints and higher load bearing capacity.
- With Ductilcrete, developers are experiencing higher lease rates, are able to lease faster and upon exiting are realizing higher cap rates.
- Tenants and users are enjoying the look, the quality and flexibility for operational use, as well as the extremely low cost of maintenance.
The Conlan Company:
The Conlan Company delivers true professionalism in general contracting, construction management, and consulting services for the commercial building construction industry. Since it was founded in 1987, The Conlan Company has grown from a small commercial contractor headquartered in Atlanta, Georgia to a national contracting firm with additional offices in Dallas, Texas and Jacksonville, Florida, licensed from the East Coast to California.
Chief Executive Officer Gary Condron, based in the Jacksonville office, is responsible for executive management and marketing for the company. Kevin Turpin, the company's President, oversees company operations from the Atlanta office. The pre-construction and construction phases of Conlan projects are supervised by seasoned managers and superintendents who bring a high level of attention and expertise to each project. This successful combination has made The Conlan Company a nationally recognized commercial contractor and a leader in light industrial construction.

My world is going by too fast. The volume is up before I leave my bed in the morning. I try to rein it in, but there is always some invisible force in my head countering that effort; applying pressure for me to keep up, keep moving. It emits a sound that has a steady cadence to it; a forward momentum. And it's loud. At least, to me. So, I get up at 5:00 every morning.
This is not about having too many electronic devices and overdosing on social media by way of my iPad, smartphone and laptop. Today, I am sitting in my peaceful, isolated yard on a gorgeous spring day, when I should be listening to the dependable soundtrack of the Saugatuck River and a few birds chatting around the feeders; but instead, I hear the seconds ticking by with the persistence of a giant metronome, tracking time wasted rather than time fulfilled. I have metastatic breast cancer.
And I'm troubled by a phone call I received yesterday. A friend, calling from her car to "check in on me" was trying earnestly, albeit clumsily, to include me in her work-life narrative but was circling way outside my narrow orbit and quickly ran out of things to say. She's a chatter-hound. She is never at a loss. But today, she was off her game and sounded harried and uncomfortable. We talked over each other. We had lost our rhythm. She didn't hear most of what I said, and I was, if I'm being honest, ultimately uninterested in what she was saying. After all, I am stuck in the house today because of crippling fatigue and the incessant pain in my legs from my last chemo blast, so I am having trouble relating to her latest work angst, and am more than a little annoyed that this phone call just made me feel pitiable in her eyes. Not that I don't care about her or her work drama, I do. But I no longer had anything of substance to offer in response that I hadn't already said before. She was still moving in a professional world I had to leave behind. The static on her mobile connection became metaphorical and I made an excuse to say good-bye to kill the awkwardness. In hindsight and in her defense, she was the one who was trying. I was just being pitiful.
When you have cancer, or I would imagine, any incurable advanced disease, time hangs heavy in the air, no matter how lovely the spring day. Some friends begin to slowly, almost imperceptibly, drift toward the horizon beyond your field of vision. The sound of the birds and the river and the insects are no less a wonder today, but they are subsumed by the louder more insistent noises in my head; the ones no one else can hear. Nor would they want to. So, I let some friends drift.
When I meditate, I see the same visual over and over again until it becomes so hypnotic I can sleep sitting up. It is a black aperture in the shape of a human eye with nothing coming back at me except the overwhelming sensation that I could get to the other side if I wanted to. Which I guess is the point. I don't want to. I am still not completely accustomed to the idea of being sick for the remainder of my life. The concept or philosophy of living and dying at the same time that so many Stage 4 cancer patients eventually adopt is one we should all embrace on some level to help us push on through our fears, excuses and procrastination. But we don't. How could we unless we are forced to? No, most of us live from task to task, conversation to conversation, event to event, meal to meal. Circling days on the calendar and checking off To-Do lists. Occasionally, when someone close to our heart becomes very ill or dies, we get a grief-induced spurt of fearlessness to counteract our brush with mortality; a surge of Carpe Diem spirit. A heartfelt renewal of relationships we allowed our busy lives to obscure. And then despite all good intentions, it fades.
Even in mid-life, when we arguably worry more about our future and possibly even our own death or the death of others from the onset of illnesses we are now more prone to, we don't dwell there. How could we? It is all unknowable and our hearts and minds simply cannot stay in that muck and continue to be happy and productive humans. But oh, how we plan, and dream, and talk endlessly about things in our future -- those mysterious days, months and years ahead of us -- as if we are guaranteed a seat on the bus that will take us there alongside everyone we love. That is the very business of being in The Land of the Living! Not just the moment; but the assumption of the future moment when things will be better or different, or in some storybooks, perfectly unchanged.
Thankfully, I am not actively dying, but I know I have limited time, so I hold on to this middle ground. A position where I have one foot in two worlds: The Living World filled with tasks and energy and talk of things that will happen soon or at some later date, embracing all the activities of my loved ones and participating when I can. A world in which, although I had to stop working, I published my first book and continue to write and advocate for a cure for breast cancer; a world that is joyful and on good days, completely of my own making. I have one foot gratefully planted in this world of willfully trying to swim the same tide as everyone around me to keep reality at bay.
The other foot is in The Sick World. The place where I manage chemo's debilitating side-effects and endless doctor visits; where I navigate life moving fearfully from scan to scan. A world in which I am branded by a port protruding from my chest so I can always be ready for injections. A place that grows narrower and less populated with every passing month; where each day's journey begins as a tightrope walk to stay emotionally focused; where I avoid any future commitment more than two months hence. A fragile place that after seven years, countless surgeries and thousands of drugs ingested or pumped into my body, has left me a wisp of my former self; scarred and hairless and valiantly, some might say stupidly, still trying to slay a mighty dragon with a poison slingshot. Not because I don't know these drugs will eventually fail, but because it's all I have to work with for now. If all of this sounds utterly hopeless to you, please take a moment and Google "treatment for metastatic breast cancer."
I ride waves of being able to thrive in The Living World, at times completely drowning out the incessant metronome. Then, often without warning, I crash and get pummeled, sucked into the undertow of bad news, shrinking quality of life, and pain. I suppose it's like everyone's timeline in life, just condensed into a smaller space, and amplified, like the inescapably shrill sound of crickets on a summer night when you can't sleep.
But hear me out, just because these things are knowable does not mean they make for good conversation. So, they mostly stay in my head. Or I fitfully write them down, usually making no sense at all and deleting it before my husband comes home from work. My tangible world with all my beloved people in it is speeding past me. My future world that used to house all my grand plans and crazy hopes, and was my common denominator in The Living World, is vanishing before my eyes.
All but for the noise; the busy, jumbled sound of dreams with nowhere to go.

In Kildare, Ireland, St. Brigid's Cathedral was packed on that lovely sunny 9th of June, 2011 when horse racing's close-knit community came to pay respects to retired trainer, Sue Doyle on the Curragh in Co. Kildare.
Known for her eccentric ways and respected for so very much more, she'd come a stranger from England years before, and ended up an appreciated colleague and friend. If the measure of a person's character comes from the way they handle adversity, Sue Doyle shone her character like a beacon, with excellence as her standard.
When I met her and her father-in-law Jack Doyle in 1987, Sue was still mourning the death of her beloved husband Paul the previous year. The entire Doyle family, internationally known for meeting the highest standards of all aspects of the highly complex, exacting horse racing business, have known through the years that reputation makes or breaks a business. At their 150-acre farm at Ballysax Manor in Kildare, Jack and Sue were involved in brokering the thoroughbreds, breeding and training them, while other sons maintained separate establishments.
Jack, a famed bloodstock agent (racehorse broker), was slowing down at age 72. In the past, though, during the season he would spend nearly as much time at the American, British and other racetracks as the Irish ones, building relationships in person, before the age of social media. Gradually, his sons Paul, Peter and Michael began to take over the bloodstock business. Paul and Michael also took on training the horses. Though, still working with the family, Mike moved his operation to North America where he covered the scene in Canada and the United States.
Sue and Jack Doyle visit a boarder
Back at home, 33 year-old Sue would care for the couple's young daughters; Tamso was 9 when I visited, and Bella a toddler. For a couple of years before Paul's death, the mother would also try her hand at training and she was somewhat familiar with the paperwork though, whenever he was home, Paul would mostly attend to that as well as management of the Ballysax farm and equine therapeutic swimming pool business.
After Paul died in 1986, it all fell on Sue's shoulders. She could have just thrown in the towel and cashed it all in but she decided otherwise. Horses were in her blood as well, and she opted to "carry the flag for Paul," as she said, with the training and breeding aspects of the business.
In addition to rearing her daughters, the highly individualistic young woman had to learn all the ins and outs of the entire business, and learn it fast. She couldn't afford to skip a beat.
Unique Style, Personality
Instinctively, Sue Doyle understood how to maintain her own unique identity while gaining acceptance in a separate culture. According to her eldest daughter Tamso, "She raised lots of eyebrows on the Curragh over the years, as she was a bit different; she'd do her aerobics there while waiting for the horses to come to the gallops, she drank herbal tea (unheard of at the time) and was into health food, poetry, art, culture, theatre, music, etc. As well, she arranged for Bella and me to learn the Suzuki method of playing the violin." Sue loved fashion and was usually ahead of the curve, rarely missing an issue of Vogue magazine; her colorful, individualistic outfits were another of her signatures.
The Business
Tamso continued, "Just after Dad died, Mum was training 65 horses, running a horse swimming pool business and doing three return (round-trip-) school runs a day as she wanted us both to go to a Montessori school (again thinking differently to others), so almost three hours a day driving back and forth as well as running the whole show and Ballysax Manor."
Ancillary responsibilities included attending numerous races, carrying out event-planning and execution for Ballysax Manor. On one Derby Day, said Sue, she planned and hosted a luncheon for 75 followed several hours later by cocktails for 100.
One of Sue Doyle's strengths was understanding the importance of building and maintaining relationships; from the top to the bottom of the social scale, she always had a friendly word. She cared about her employees, whom she was able to trust implicitly. And her friends knew they could count on her.
Gathering trusted employees in the house and outside, she learned to delegate as Paul had taught her - carefully, while respecting each one to know their jobs and to be motivated to do them well. Everyone who worked for her knew that the success of Ballysax Manor ensured their success as well, and they took pride in doing excellent work, with Sue setting the standard. "They (employees) see that I'm working really really hard all the time, and I never ask them to do longer hours than I do. Generally speaking, I do longer hours than anybody," she said.
Paul had always encouraged her to balance her responsibilities by delegating and, apparently she got the hang of that because, as jockey Kevin Manning said, "Sue was very easy to ride for, as she told you about the horse you were riding and left the decisions up to you. She was a lovely person both on and off the track." Manning rode Bold Jessie to victory in the 1990 Tattersalls Breeders Stakes, the third richest in Ireland that year, at £281,071.

Said Manning, "I recall Sue asking me to ride Bold Jessie after she had run at the Phoenix Park. I rode her work(-out) on the Curragh gallops shortly before she ran. Sue was present with her father-in-law, the well-known bloodstock agent Jack Doyle. She was adamant that the filly would run a big race even though she was not fancied by the bookmakers. The filly duly won at a big price (25/1 I think). It was a marvellous training performance on Sue's behalf as Bold Jessie was a highly strung filly and not easy to train."
Ballysax Manor's operations could be roughly divided into the inside part, and the outside. Inside, with the help of long-time family secretary May Finnegan who worked until 2 pm or 2:30, Sue kept up with the mountain of pre-computerized paperwork involving the international business -- breeding (periodic sonograms, weight, progress of fetus), travel (passports, visas for horses), sales, including international, (pedigrees prepared, trainers approached, prices suggested, that had to be sent off by Fax or Telex to America), training (feed, individual programs, condition of horses) and on and on.
Outside, Sue relied on Noel O'Toole, her 'head lad' for 15 years, to manage the details of her directives. His responsibilities included managing the stable staff and overseeing horses in the yard (walking, feeding, daily care). He was also in charge of breaking young horses, dealing with veterinary issues and carrying out medical treatments as directed by the vet.
For training, Sue was absolutely hands-on. On the day I accompanied her with toddler Bella for the training session, I still remember that dawn gallop on the Curragh -- the thrill of the thundering hooves suddenly appearing at the crest of a distant hill, pounding down toward us, louder and louder. Then, galloping past us so close we could almost touch them, they finally slowed and the riders formed them into a circle, walking slowly so that Sue could see each one and give individualized instructions. Some trained only once a week, others more often. And some would combine a therapeutic swim or substitute swimming for their training around the course.
Toddler Bella Doyle, tuckered out after the morning gallop
In the equine swimming pool, racehorse owners from as far away as the West of Ireland would board their horses in order to heal sore, stiffened muscles while staff would exercise the animals aquatically. The horses would often swim three times a day. Other, healthy, horses would often alternate the aquatic training with gallops in order to strengthen their legs and stamina without stress. The horses seemed to love the experience!
Sue retired from training 16 years before she died. "The only reason she had to give up was bad debts; bills were not paid. She was too lenient and not good at the financial end of the business," said Tamso.
A voracious reader, artist and all-round lover of life, after her retirement from training in 1995, Sue went on to earn undergraduate and graduate degrees in psychotherapy. So, what this wonderful strong woman was able to pass on to her daughters is, 'it's not as much what you do, but what you are that counts,' and she was quality.
Tamso owns her own PR and marketing consultation firm and, with her husband David Cox, they run Baroda Stud, a highly respected international boutique stud farm in Co. Kildare.

And, following those before her, Tamso's and David's toddler daughter India can look forward to a whole world of possibilities!

Luckily the stormy weather of last week has ended. The garden looks devastated with ripped off branches and foliage. It reminds me of the song "Calm after the storm" from the Common Linnets. At the song festival which was held last week they came in second. Since then the song is spinning around in my head:
info about the garden click here:
Skies are black and blue
Thinking about you
Here in the calm after the storm
The now calm weather conditions I finally can try my new photo lens. It is a macro lens; therefore taking pictures in strong wind is a "no-go". Of course I have tried to take pictures, but as was to be expected; all photos were blurred.
With this lens, the garden looks very special. Instantly I see a beautiful subject to take pictures of. The raindrops are just fantastic! When you look this close, ordinary things seem completely different. Some pictures look even abstract. I imagine these can be used for the setting of a play.
Below you'll find my macro photos. One big advantage of macro photos is that the background is always blurred. Therefore there is no necessity for me to tidy up my devastated garden. Have you ever looked upon it in that way?
Thus for me it results in being quite calm after the storm!

I actually work up around 5:45 today to the sound of my cats figuring out that the door to my bedroom wasn't all the way closed. They escaped. I should have know that was going to be the start to a rough Miracle Morning routine…
I actually moaned when the alarm sounded at 6am. But I've now successfully woken up made it out of bed for four Miracle Morning days in a row! Yay me!
Today's Miracle Morning:
🚨 Alarm again at 6am followed by an audible moan that
💦 brushed my teeth, no glass of water
🙏🏻 Silence today with my prayer journal for 30 minutes. I spent time praying for the US as it is the National Day of Prayer.
📚 Reading today was 40 minutes. I again did the Inductive Study on Ezra. Inductive study is in depth and uses symbols to help you study and draw from the text. Here's what my Bible looked like after today's reading of chapter 7.
It seems intense, and daunting – but I have never been able to really feel like I could study the Bible and understand it on my own, without the help of commentaries or online sermons. I'm understanding more about God more than ever now! It's incredibly exciting.
🤸🏻♀Exercise: today I wanted to do the same yoga video as yesterday, but it is now 7:15 and I'm usually getting dressed by now. I really wanted to do this though, so 5 minutes I could handle… or so I thought. Oy to the vey people…. I couldn't find the video on my Apple TV… so I chose another that I started but then stopped listening to the instructor and just did my own thing.
🖋 Scribing: Basic jist of my journal entry for today: Last night, not good. This morning, not good. Today, likely not good. Great…
Affirmations and Visualization today were out the window!
Keep going Miracle Morning-ers we can do this… unbearable only lasts another week!
Stay addicted Bullet Journal-Aholics!

A security researcher said Monday he has discovered an unpatched ActiveX vulnerability in RealPlayer, the popular media player, and is working on an exploit.
The bug allows malware writers to potentially change heap blocks, which limit the amount of memory that can be stored, to overwrite certain registers, researcher Elazar Broad said today on the website for Neohapsis, a risk and security consultancy. Exploiting the flaw could result in the execution of malicious code.
RealPlayer uses an ActiveX control to play content inside a user's browser. The affected control is rmoc3260.dll version 18.104.22.168, Broad said.
In lieu of a fix, users are encouraged to set the kill bit for the control, he said.
A spokesman for RealPlayer, owned by Real Networks, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

BEIJING (Reuters) - Ju Anqi's low-budget film "Poet on a Business Trip" took just one main actor, one camera and 40 days on the road in China's remote western Xinjiang region to make back in 2002.
But it would be another 12 years before the film was completed, after a decade-long dispute between director Ju and actor-poet Shu put the project on hold.
The long gap between shooting and editing means that what originally set out to be a story of a journey into the nature of human desire became a powerful record of a more peaceful time in the increasingly restive region on the borders of central Asia.
In the film, the poet sets off on a business trip across the barren landscape of Xinjiang, hitching rides and befriending the local Uighur population as well as visiting prostitutes. Along the way he composes 16 poems.
"Actually this is really something absurd. There's no way a poet could go on a business trip, there's no one to send him on a business trip. He's sent himself," Ju told Reuters. "I think this can be seen as an understanding of our times."
The film was released to critical acclaim and crowned best Asian feature film by a jury from the Network for the Promotion of Asian Cinema at the Rotterdam International Film Festival in February.
"I wanted to film a person who could connect their desires and the scenery together, traveling back and fourth between (different) sceneries," Ju said.
"I hoped to find some kind of meaning (through this)."
Hundreds of people have been killed in violence between the Muslim Uighur people who call Xinjiang home and ethnic majority Han Chinese in recent years. Ju said that making the film today would be more difficult.
"It really has recorded the real environment of Xinjiang at that time, including the relationships between different people," he said. "If you look at it from this point of view (the film) also has some documentary value."

Tin Whistle Brewing Company – Black Widow Mild Ale
- Type: Dark Ale
- Brand: Tin Whistle Brewing Co.
Nice, light body
Deceptive flavour given colour of beer
A light and very drinkable beer with dark flavour
Tin Whistle Brewing Company – Black Widow Mild Ale Review
What used to be called the Black Widow Mild Ale is now renamed as the Black Widow English Dark Ale. There is no reference that the recipe has changed but the new label and classification is suiting for more pleasing look and expected flavour. This beer pours from the bottle as a dark chestnut colour with a thin finger of head. The Black Widow smells of dried fruit, toasted malt and chocolate. This mid-bodied beer is light with carbonation and has a distinct dried fruit flavour. Raisin and prune notes come along side a deeply toasted malt flavour and a touch of chocolate hiding in the back. This is a relatively sweet and complex flavoured English Dark Ale the is quite enjoyable
Alcohol – 5.0%
Size –650ml bottle
Price – $4.60 (BCL)

Omar Gonzalez, who jumped over the White House fence September 19 armed with a knife, agreed to a plea deal on Friday. The deal will commit him to jail for a year to 18 months and cost him $3,000 to as much as $30,000.
Until Gonzalez is sentenced on June 8, he will be imprisoned without bond, although charges of assaulting an officer will be dropped along with charges of carrying a weapon outside of a home or business.
Despite the fact that police found 800 rounds of ammunition, a machete, and two hatchets in a car nearby, charges of unlawful possession of ammunition and of a feeding device capable of using large-capacity ammunition will also be removed.
Gonzales was successful in reaching the White House's East Room, where he was caught and found with a folding knife that had a three and a half inch blade. He told a federal agent that the reason he had jumped the fence was to tell Barack Obama that the atmosphere was collapsing.
Gonzales, 42, was an Iraqi war veteran. US Attorney Ronald Machen said, "We are pleased that Mr, Gonzalez has chosen to take responsibility for his incomprehensible decision to leap a fence and charge into the White House with a knife. He is lucky to be alive."
Gonzalez was accosted by Virginia police in July. Secret Service Agents spoke to Gonzalez twice last summer but decided he did not pose a security threat.

Important acceptance of ICC jurisdiction
- The Norwegian Helsinki Committee (NHC) welcomes the Ukrainian government's decision to accept International Criminal Court (ICC) jurisdiction over international crimes committed on its territory since February 2014, i.e. since the start of the armed conflict in the Eastern Ukraine and the occupation of Crimea by Russia, says Secretary General Bjørn Engesland. – We consider this a milestone in the fight against impunity in former Soviet countries.
Many armed conflicts followed in the wake of the break-up of the Soviet Union in 1991. They were characterised by widespread and serious war crimes and crimes against humanity. However, these crimes were not investigated and those responsible went unpunished. Impunity remains widespread and is an important factor in leading to new conflicts and abuses.
- By referring this situation to the ICC, Ukraine sets an example for the whole region. Justice and truth are important means to achieve reconciliation and lasting peace as well as to prevent future abuses, says Engesland.
Together with its partners in Ukraine and internationally, the NHC has focussed on collecting evidence of war crimes. In June, the NHC and the International Partnership for Human Rights (IPHR) argued in an article in the Kyivpost for Ukraine to accept ICC jurisdiction. Read the article here.
The NHC seeks to step up training and monitoring activities in the Ukraine in order to provide high quality documentation that could be used as evidence in future ICC cases.
The NHC has reported extensively on war crimes and crimes against humanity committed during the 2008 war in Georgia, as well as on the lack of genuine prosecution by Georgia and the Russian Federation. The NHC together with its partners argued that the ICC should start investigation. Georgia was a member of the ICC during the war, and the ICC has accepted that ICC crimes were committed. Click here to download reportfrom NHC on this issue.
Together with eight Russian and international human rights organisations, the NHC has established the Natalya Estemirova Documentation Centre for North Caucasus (NEDC) to collect and systematize documentation of war crimes and other human rights violations. The centre has great potential to become a leading tool in fighting impunity in this region.
- ICC prosecution of war crimes in Ukraine, and also in Georgia, could become a game changer in the wider post-Soviet region. Such prosecution would send a strong message that crimes will not go unpunished and should go hand in hand with the strengthening of national prosecution of grave crimes, concluded Engesland.

1974 - 2017
Prodigy is a featured fighter in Def Jam series and is a playable character in Def Jam: Fight For NY and Def Jam Fight for NY: The Takeover.
Amid the burgeoning mid-'90s hardcore rap scene, the Queensbridge duo Mobb Deep towered over their peers. They were instantly canonized for their influential album called The Infamous. This duo consisted of Prodigy and Havoc. Initially they began as just another hardcore rap act, as shown on their debut album, Juvenile Hell. Their breakthrough album came in 1995. It became a touchstone album among the hardcore rap community, driven by the song "Shook Ones, Pt. 2," a time-tested anthem. Mobb Deep became known from coast to coast for its hellishly lyrical depiction of New York street life in Queensbridge, the rough housing project the duo called home. Mobb Deep's production and musical style also became widely known. The driving, haunting melodies and hard-hitting beats, coupled with the bleak aural equivalent of the duo's sullen rhymes set them far apart from the crowd. By the end of the decade, Mobb Deep's Murda Muzik debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard album chart, showing how far the duo had come without compromising their harsh approach.
