Maryles founded Casto Travel in 1974. Drawing from her early experience as manager of in-flight services for Philippine Airlines, Maryles turned her company into the largest privately owned travel management agency in the Western United States. She built a smart company with strong talent and a unique culture, a powerful reflection of what she symbolizes to her teams and to the world.
Under her leadership, Casto Travel has been ranked in the Top 100 Fastest Growing Businesses in both Silicon Valley and San Francisco and has won numerous entrepreneurial and service awards. Maryles was appointed as a member of the Presidential Delegation to attend the Inauguration of President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo, of the Republic of the Philippines in 2004. In May 2006, Silicon Valley Business Journal ranked Casto Travel second in revenues among Silicon Valley Women-Owned Businesses. In 2014, as a result of her service and commitment to the community, Maryles received the Distinguished Citizen Award from the Silicon Valley Boy Scouts of America.
Maryles extended Casto Travel operations into the APAC region, where she oversees all operations and client management. With two offices in the Philippines, one in Makati and one in Alabang, there are more than 150 employees that offer support to clients. Additionally, she continues to be globally involved and serve as a source of knowledge, insight and inspiration in several capacities, including client interactions, organizing exclusive journeys, providing leadership and strategic vision for the company and mentoring.
Active in civic, philanthropic, and industry organizations over the course of her career, Maryles currently serves on the board of directors for Silicon Valley Creates, The New Ballet – San Jose and the Commonwealth Club of California (at one point serving as board chair). She recently served on the El Camino Hospital Foundation, as International Chair on the Committee of 200 (she is still a member), and is a founding member of the International Women's Forum – Northern California (serving on their board in 2017).
Marc is Senior Vice President, West Coast of the Corporate Division, FC USA (formerly President & Chief Executive Officer of Casto Travel). He leads the company's operations and directs strategic corporate planning, sales endeavors, and information technology development. His direct duties also include oversight and management of all international development, notably expansion within Asia through Casto Travel Philippines, Inc.
As a highly engaged person within the industry, Marc serves at an executive level on multiple travel and other industry related boards. Marc has served as the Chairman of the Board for the San Jose Visitors and Convention Bureau / Team San Jose, the Commonwealth Business Travel Group, and the ASTA Corporate Advisory Council. He has also held board positions for Business Travel News, CTAP, American Society of Travel Agents, the Mayor's Task force for San Jose Airport, and the Silicon Valley Leadership Group, as well as numerous hotel advisory boards.
Marc has been recognized by the Silicon Valley / San Jose Business Journal as one of the "Top 40 Under 40 Business Leaders in Silicon Valley." In 2014 he was the recipient of the Barbara O'Hara Advocacy Award by ASTA, and the same year as a "Distinguished Citizen" by the Boy Scouts of America. In 2016 ASTA also honored him as the inaugural recipient of the prestigious Paul M. Ruden Award for Industry Champions.
As a native of California, you can frequently find him out in the hills hiking with his kids or sneaking off to the coast to go scuba diving.
Scott Pierson has years of experience in security roles, having previously served as an IT and security consultant followed by a role as CIO for a bank and most recently serving as an executive for an encryption software company.
Mr. Pierson joined Casto in 2018 as Casto's first Chief Information Officer. With the marked increase in technology, security, and information challenges taking place in the travel industry, combined with those that are happening across all industries, Mr. Pierson was seen as the right person to address the challenges at Casto.
"I am excited and enthused to have Scott, an experienced security advisor with a banking background, be a part of our executive team as this role has become increasingly critical for our industry" said Marc Casto, CEO of Casto Travel. "There has been an ever increasing amount of cyber threats in our industry as well as new and unique regulatory requirements, including both GDPR and NDC. With Scott as our CIO, we are better armed to be proactive with our network security and supplier relations, for the benefit of our company and our clients. Likewise, his assistance with our AI initiatives is invaluable."
Within his first year at Casto, Scott added Chief Security Officer to his realm of responsibilities.
Fran's extensive expertise to build a strong sales and account management team to support new business opportunities while ensuring successful client retention is pivotal to her role at Casto Travel. In addition, Fran continues to develop and strengthen strategic partnerships throughout the industry.
Fran possesses vast knowledge and experience in travel management, client implementations, project management and global consolidations.
As busy as she is in continuing to advocate Casto's services, Fran finds time to serve on the board of directors of Unfolding Outdoor Adventures for Women and Fully Alive Community Church.
In 1997, Fran was a proud recipient of YWCA's "Women in Industry Achievement" award.
Casto icon Magda Alarcon, an industry veteran since 1978, is a Vice President at Casto Travel and oversees the Concierge and Groups divisions.
Ms. Alarcon joined Casto in 1988 to start the VIP service desk, then moved up to become the San Francisco Branch Manager in 1993. She also served as General Manager and Director of Corporate Operations before her VP position.
Ms. Alarcon, who lives in the Bay Area, relocated from Honolulu in 1983, where she started her travel career.
"Magda's post as Vice President is a well-earned progression in her career at Casto," says founder Maryles Casto. "In her time here, Magda has repeatedly proven her ability to keep the corporate department focused on providing exceptional customer service to each client, every time."
As Vice President of Finance, Mona oversees Casto Travel's strategy to bring reporting in the travel industry to new levels, providing our clients with clear insights into their travel spending.
Her pre-Casto roots lie in the banking and housing industries, but her heart has always been in the travel industry after the impression her college hospitality classes left on her.
In 2008, Mona's dream of working in the travel industry became too strong, so she joined Casto. She brought to Casto her unique and strong perspective on reporting learned in her previous career path.
In her role as Vice President of Corporate Operations, Lynn oversees Casto Travel's corporate travel division as well as our visa passport group.
Lynn began her career in Connecticut and has spent over 30 years in the corporate travel world. She joined Casto Travel in 2003 and has served in a number of positions of increasing importance, from manager to director and now vice president.
Lynn thoroughly enjoys creating solutions and providing customer service in ways that help clients achieve their goals. From the sales process all the way thru implementation, she carefully listens, considers all the needs, and delivers smart solutions. When determining service configuration, she brings about the staff best suited for the program.
Travel is extremely personal and her greatest success is the success of her team and their success is our delighted clients.
Mark Rippstein is the Director of Online Marketing at Casto Travel. In his role, Mark oversees our online presence, making sure that those who have an experience with Casto, including those working at Casto, have a clear understanding of our values and services.
By leading our online properties, Mark is tasked with keeping everything on brand, accurate, and secure. His primary focus is our websites (for Casto Travel, Casto Vacations, and Visa By Casto) as well as their related social ties. Mark also provides oversight when it comes to having a clear, consistent and positive brand message, particularly pertaining to customer satisfaction, lead generation, and recruiting.
Before graduating from Santa Clara University with a degree in business marketing, Mark developed a strong and diverse work ethic at his parents scientific research company. Starting there in his early teens, he jumped in wherever needed, from sweeping floors and counting inventory to soldering circuit boards and setting up trade shows…he even launched their first web presence in 1996. Most recently, Mark spent over 10 years at Google forming and overseeing diverse and dispersed teams and projects. It was through his travels during that time that his appreciation for travel management, especially for trusted and knowledgeable advisors, grew into something that led him to Casto.
Throughout his years of working on the web, Mark has become an advocate for consistency, simplicity and security. He believes that we should all strive for quality and going beyond expectations in everything we do…especially when it comes to arranging your next vacation.
We are very pleased to announce that Marc Casto was elected to the Board of Directors for ASTA. The campaign had one of the highest turnouts in ASTA history...thank you to all who voted! You can read the official announcement on ASTA's website: View the press release on the 'ASTA' website
The most prevalent use of AI in the travel industry is for chatbot apps, primarily in the form of virtual travel assistants. These apps improve service by supplementing the work of travel advisors, not replacing them. One featured app in the article, Sam (which is offered by Casto Travel via our parent company Flight Centre), provides travelers with quick, timely and personalized information so that their entire travel experience is elevated. As it matures, Sam will be able to anticipate needs in ways that would have been too time consuming for an advisor. Consumers and business are driving this transformation, a shift that is already improving the travel experience for many leisure and corporate travelers. View entire article on the 'ASTA' magazine

HS Prannoy is having a good run. After winning the US Open Grand Prix Gold last month, he made the quarters at New Zealand GP Gold last week. His efforts are paying off as the 25-year-old jumped two spots to be ranked No 15 in the latest BWF ranking charts, released on Thursday. Prannoy is currently the second-best Indian male player on the list with Kidambi Srikanth's ranking remaining unchanged at No 8. Srikanth had won successive title in Indonesia and Australia recently.
Prannoy tweeted that it felt good to be back in the top 15 of the world rankings though he wouldn't be playing in the World Championships this time round.
Good to be back into the top 15 of the WR. No World championships this time for me! Disappointing but that's how it is!! pic.twitter.com/sej8qQ0McD— PRANNOY HS (@PRANNOYHSPRI) August 10, 2017
Ajay Jayaram and Sameer Verma dropped a spot each to be ranked No 17 and 29, respectively. B Sai Praneeth remained at 19.
Sourabh Verma, who recently made the quarter-final stage in New Zealand, jumped five places to be ranked 32. Commonwealth Games gold medallist Parupalli Kashyap jumped one spot to be at 46th.
There was no change in rankings of the two top Indian women PV Sindhu and Saina Nehwal. Rio Games silver medallist Sindhu remained at the fifth spot in the women's singles rankings while London Games bronze medallist Nehwal stayed put at the 16th spot.

As the curtain lowers on quasi-legal dispensary operations in Fresno County, medical cannabis patients may be forgiven for feeling angry, sad and bitter. There are hurt feelings and a renewed distrust of the same government we expect to protect our rights. "Only in Fresno…" some may mutter, but that's not the case. The dispensary melodrama is playing out in hundreds of cities and dozens of counties statewide, with the U.S. Attorneys' Offices taking the lead role and a supporting cast of thousands of local-yokel cops and politicians. Dispensary raids continue in Colorado, Montana, Washington state … and the list goes on.
Raise the lights. It's not the end, it's intermission. This play isn't over. Not yet, and not by a long shot.
Put aside, if you can, every bias you have for (or against) dispensaries. They serve a need. They have a purpose. They do something that was unthinkable just a few years ago: Provide a safe, businesslike environment where qualified patients can obtain medical cannabis as authorized by California law. That's an amazing accomplishment, and yet it tends to get lost in all the crying about local dispensary bans and federal raids.
It matters little whether you or I think dispensaries are pharmacies, cannabis flea marts or opium dens. Thankfully, it doesn't matter much what the cops or local politicians think either. They're entitled to their opinions, and for a time they may wield their authority in a manner quite disrespectful and damaging to medical cannabis patients. It sucks, but this is our burden. We're all stoners in their eyes, and let's be frank: Some "patients" are stonier than others. The backlash was predictable. The green rush couldn't last forever.
So take a deep breath. Count to 10. Remember, as I do, what Fresno was like for non-medical potheads back in the day. If you lived through any of that time, your skill set is still good. Don't talk to the cops if you don't have to or assume that your patient status will keep you out of hot water. They want to play hardball, that's fine, we know the rules as well or better than they do. Prohibition is alive and well. Protect yourself by acting accordingly. Put your 99-plant recommendation on the shelf or frame it if you like. Either way, it's no bueno.
In other words, don't push the envelope, but don't throw in the towel or give up. A strategic retreat is not defeat. California's courts are slowly catching up with the complex legal concepts behind dispensaries and collective cultivation, both of which are absolutely critical if individual cultivation rights are restricted. Cities and counties can't take EVERYTHING away from us, even though they're doing their very best to try. It's going to be a tough year, but the pendulum is nearing the top of its swing. We're going to find the middle ground. We're going to finish what Proposition 215 started, and we're going to do it right here in Fresno. Buckle up and hang on.
One Response to "Boom or bust, cannabis dispensaries serve a need"
I'm buckled up and ready for a krazy rollercoster ride let's keep our gardens locked and loaded till its safe to be green again till then getting ready for long hard terrible dayssssssss
Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.

Maserati has revieled the new version of Gran Turismo MC Stradale at the Geneva motor show. Maserati has decided to give the new version of the sporty coupe a 2+2 seating arrangement. Maserati says the Gran Turismo MC Stradale takes its "inspiration from the racing version which competes in the Maserati Trofeo Championship."
The Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale has horsepower of 460 which is drawn from its V8 engine capable of 4.7 litre cylinders. This amazing engine gives Maserati Gran Turismo MC Stradale of 188mph (302.556 km/h). Shifting duties are handled by Maserati's MC Race Shift six-speed semi-automatic gearbox.
The GranTurismo MC Stradale uses standard Brembo carbon ceramic brake discs to stop the car at such high speed.
The GranTurismo MC Stradale is superfined by its exterior a new carbon fiber hood with an integrated air scoop. There are also new air extractors at the rear, and the updated GranTurismo MC Stradale rides on new-look 20-inch alloy wheels.
Maserati will reveal pricing for the GranTurismo MC Stradale closer to the car's market launch.

Ms. Palicki
ELL Resource Teacher
Hello! My name is Aly Palicki and I am an ELL Resource Teacher both here at Euclid and Indian Grove. This is my second year teaching, but my first year in the district. I could not be more excited! I earned my bachelor's degree from Carroll University in Waukesha, Wisconsin with a minor in Spanish, and my ESL endorsement from Dominican University in River Forest, Illinois.
When I am not in school I love to be outside hiking, biking, and being active. I grew up in the surrounding area of the River Trails School District and I am thrilled to be a part of the community. I look forward to working with my students, their families, and my fellow colleagues during this school year!

Fortnite Battle Royale players are extremely creative in getting new ways to get rid of enemies. The preferred video games enable players to combine their distinct things and techniques for creative eliminations. Now, there is yet another easy way to get some Fortnite Items fast eliminations, such as employing some of the newest cosmetic items.
Epic Games released a pair of scarecrow skins on October 7. Moreover to these skins, Fortnite players can also get Field Wrath gliders, Harvester pickaxe and T-Pose emote. Combining one of the skins with the emote offers the players an benefit more than their enemies, which might be seen under.
benefit of working with new cosmetic things
Fortnite developers made it clear that cosmetic items will not give players any competitive advantage. On the other hand, some players disagree with that just after watching a number of the clips with all the scarecrow skins.
It all began with Reddit user ANattyLight posting the video of an easy elimination in Fatal Fields. The player used Hay Man (one of many most up-to-date skins) as well as the T-Pose emote to produce the impression of a scarecrow. The nearby enemies didn't suspect anything and let ANattyLight get an easy elimination.
ImMarksman from Reddit also released an exciting video with these things. The player utilised Straw Ops, the female scarecrow skin, in the Halloween retailer in Retail Row. Because of the emote, the player hid the weapon and hid inside the corner of the shop, the enemies did not see him. Just after a whilst, the player shot down the enemies, they did not even possess a likelihood to defend themselves.
Contemplating that numerous Fortnite players are complaining in regards to the most up-to-date cosmetic items, it's intriguing to find out what Epic Games thinks about it. The game developers may possibly determine to take away the emote or just add some more animations to it.
You may buy Fortnite Items here at our qualified web-site IGXE.Com, exactly where gives you the least expensive price tag, quickly delivery as well as the very best service!

I was on my travels today and did something I've been meaning to do for years – revisit the park where I spent so many hours of my youth. As is so often the case when revisiting the past, it was a bitter-sweet experience. It's been many, many years since I last went there but it was a second home to me from when I could walk into my late teens, and the memories came flooding back. One of my earliest memories was being told that the little 'archways' that you sometimes get at the foot of tree trunks (presumably some sort of deformity) were actually doors to let fairies in and out. I passed that on to my daughter. I recall some mighty trees, and although things always seem smaller when you go back to a childhood place, I think they were very big and mature, and that most of them have gone now. The remains of one really big felled one was hollowed out, presumably as a kind of play area for kids.
Many other memories revolve around swings, giant slides, things that spun round and threw you off and other death-defying contraptions, all set into an unforgiving concrete surface. There were a grazed knees and bumps, but relatively few kids ended up paraplegic to my recollection. That's all been dug up now and replaced by weird things in grass that hardly anyone plays on.
There were numerous football pitches, cricket pitches, bowling greens and tennis courts. All gone. The sports pavilion, which lived happily with lots of glass windows – no bars or shutters – for many decades, was burned down once vandalism became fashionable and never replaced, so presumably nowhere to get changed meant no more sport.
Looking at it from a practical point of view, it's amazing to think that developers and planners allowed a site worth tens or hundreds of millions by today's standards (big enough to contain a small town or large village) to be set aside for recreation. This would never happen today, and yet there were several other similar such parks within easy reach of me that were part of the expansion of Nottingham in the 30s. (I hasten to add that, old though I am, it was well after the 30s when I grew up there!)

Landslide Win for Harvey Dent
From Batman
From the third issue of the Gotham Times:
|The bitter struggle in the Gotham City District Attorney race ended yesterday with a landslide win for Harvey Dent. With 97% of precincts reporting, Dent won the election with just over 70% of the vote, followed by Roger Garcetti at 16% and Dana Worthington at 14%. Exit polls showed fear of violent crime and desire for change fueled Dent's decisive victory.
"It's one of those 'only in Gotham' stories," said longtime political observer Walt DeFabrizio. "Our city has a way of finding the leaders it needs at every critical moment. And obviously, the voters felt we needed a hard-changing, unbending prosecutor like Harvey Dent."
Dent vowed to take quick action against the crime bosses and corrupt officials he claims are destroying the city. "Gotham is sick and tired of rising crime rates and endemic corruption, and I will target our city's enemies in my first day in office," Dent said.
Officials close to the Dent campaign say that the new District Attorney plans to immediately seek out and prosecute senior city officials for malfeasance. Defeated opponent Roger Garcetti is believed to have already been indicted by Dent, sources say.
From her election night party held at the Gotham Victims Advocate Foundation headquarters, Dana Worthington addressed dozens of tearful supporters.
"This experience has been quite a ride, hasn't it?" Worthington said to the small group of hardcore supporters that showed up.
"We've all been on this journey together and I wouldn't trade a moment of it. I want to thank you all from the bottom of my heart. As you move on to all the great things I know you're going to do, I hope you will join me in showing Mr. Dent your support," Worthington said, adding with a smile, "God knows, he's gonna need it."
Viewed as a long shot when he entered the race, Harvey Dent's campaign began with a grassroots effort that earned him a small but passionate following that used the Internet to spread his anti-crime message.
His campaign was rocked and almost derailed by a massive anti-Dent effort launched largely by Gotham police officers taking part in a group called Concerned Citizens For a Better Gotham.
The group brutally attacked Dent in the press and on television commercials with accusations that Dent was fabricating evidence against innocent police officers in order to raise his own reputation. With many pundits calling for Dent to resign from the race, his poll numbers tanking, and his fundraising collapsing, Dent looked finished.
But fate intervened with the incident at Rossi's Deli. One of Dent's primary accusers, GPD officer Frank Notaro, took a hostage when he feared that his life was at risk from mob associates. Dent traded himself for the hostage and then convinced Notaro to turn himself in. The incident resurrected Dent's hopes and created a wave of support that continued through the campaign until the landslide victory of yesterday.
Some, however, remain skeptical of the incident and of the District Attorney-elect himself.
"It was all rather convenient, don't you think?" said one Garcetti advisor. "I'm not saying that it was all a set-up, but there are no accidents in politics. Now Dent will have to live up to his rhetoric, and I fear that we are all about to see how unfit he is for office."
Such words of caution were in the minority as Harvey Dent supporters saved the massive victory.
"It doesn't matter what the naysayers think," said Dent strategist Allan Cypes. "This is a landslide win not only for Harvey Dent, but for the people of Gotham City."

A Steamboat Laddie
I went to Sweny's where Leopold Bloom bought his lemon soap in 'Ulysses' after leaving the National Gallery and 'The Liffey Swim'. The Volunteer at the old chemist shop confirmed it is pronounced Swen not Sween (as in the Donegal family name Sweeney). A motley crew of Dubs of a certain age shuffled in, grabbed a copy and a cup of tea and biscuit. At 11am, after a brief intro as to what was happening on page 524, we started reading a page each going round the room, surrounded by pharmacy glassware in wooden cases. It was the Cab Shelter section where Bloom has rescued young Stephen late at night and bought him a terrible coffee in the shelter where taximen, sailors and other creatures of the night gas away. I'm the only Englishman there. There's a fair amount of anti-English sentiment in the pages we read which gives the visit all the more spice. Joyce didn't have much truck with Blame the English.
At the stroke of midday I ducked out with a wave and crossed the street to the back entrance of Trinity College. I was due to attend a lunch celebrating the 150th anniversary of one of the better English institutions – Girton College, Cambridge, my alma mater. Girton and Trinity (TCD) are connected through the pioneering women dubbed The Steamboat Ladies. Their story I summarised here.
In short, Cambridge University refused to award the degrees the early Girtonians achieved through study and the standard Cambridge examination so they ended up using the fine print of an old tripartite arrangement between Oxford, Cambridge and TCD to have the award made in Dublin. They took the steamboat from Holyhead for a swift one-day visit including a formal lunch and a group photo on the steps I found myself standing on with my brother-in-law Des (my guest) and Professor Susan Parkes of Trinity, surveilling the large, part-lawned quad.
I am writing this a few miles from Holyhead with a view of Anglesey, in Caernarfon, Wales, where I am doing a keynote speech for TAC, the Welsh indies producers/TV training organisation. I remember one of my sons saying of Holyhead when he was very young: "It's a bit like Dublin …only shit."
The Steamboat Ladies, Prof Parkes would explain over lunch, started coming over in 1904. This is the year in which 'Ulysses' is set.
About two dozen old Girtonians were at the lunch, mostly Irish, plus the Mistress of the College, Susan J Smith, and a current Girton historian, Dr Hazel Mills. Hazel reviewed the various connections between Girton and Ireland including two of the Mistresses (Susan is about No. 19). The key point was that Girton proved something of a training ground for the pioneers of women's university education in Ireland. Education meant jobs, jobs meant money, influence and independence.
After lunch and the two talks we reconstructed the Steamboat Ladies photo on the steps outside, us just a handful compared to the serried ranks of mobile scholars in the 1906 photo.
As the photo posing concluded and I took my leave of my fellow Mediaeval & Modern Languages colleague Julia (we were the best represented year at 2 shows) Des and I headed to the pub for the second half of Leinster (blue jerseys) v Munster (red). An American woman at the bar beside me asked me how this game (rugby) works. I did my best, pleased with the concision of my stab at it. As I looked at the red v blue the thought crossed my mind that this was a classic colour opposition. I leaned over to her and said: "…of course the blues are democrats and the reds republicans." "Oh, like we have in the States?" "Yes, sort of."
The next day I rounded off the trip with a family Sunday expedition led by Des to the cliffs of Howth Head. I pulled by the place at the end of the huge harbour wall where the Asgard and its skipper Erskine Childers are commemorated in a brass plaque for the running of guns into the country via this harbour for the Easter Rising.
On the way to the Dart to come out of the city north into Co. Dublin I passed a sadly isolated plaque on a crappy government building marking the HQ of De Valera in 1916 at Bolland Mills.
Standing on Howth Head I could see the sweep of Dublin Bay down to Sandycove – where 'Ulysses' opens – and beyond. Up here is where the novel concludes with Molly recalling a romantic excursion with Bloom in the early days of their love. So this geography, the curve of this bay, is essential to this greatest of books. And the perfect place to conclude this trip.
A Day in Dublin
Following a meeting with RTÉ in the Docklands in East Dublin I had the afternoon free to wander the city. On the way in to the centre from the airport the bus passed the end of Eccles Street where Leopold Bloom lives and is having breakfast in the second chapter of 'Ulysses'. An hour later I walked across Holles Street where the maternity hospital is where another chapter of the Greatest Book Ever takes place. After that I looked into the window of Sweny's the pharmacist where Bloom buys his lemon soap (and they still sell it in waxed brown paper). In a couple of hours I am heading back there for a 'Ulysses' reading group as it is now a volunteer-run centre dedicated to the book. It is just opposite the back entrance to Trinity College, Dublin where I am due at a lunch at noon.
Yesterday I also passed the Ormond Hotel (which, if I had my bearings right, is largely a space on the North bank of the Liffey at Ormond Quay, having been pretty much demolished since my last trip to Dublin) where the music-centred chapter of the novel occurs, the chapter which is the focus of the long-running Charles Peake seminar at Senate House, University of London which I attend every month. It takes the group several years to get through a chapter as it is a close-reading approach – we cover just a dozen or so lines per two hour Friday evening session.
Back to Friday afternoon, I passed the old Ormond Hotel on the way to Kilmainham Gaol where the leaders of the Easter Rising were imprisoned in 1916. There I met my younger son who was also over, meeting his cousins. I had the great honour in the course of the visit to read to him (he has severe dyslexia so I am in the habit of reading to him) one of the surviving twenty copies of the Proclamation of the Irish Republic, a poster size text printed in two sections, and then parts of the original letters written by the condemned men as their last words. These are displayed in dim light for preservation but the lighting also adds to the vibe. A particularly resonant one is by Joseph Plunkett to his girlfriend who he recognises he should have married – signed "Your lover, Joe". My son is an Irish citizen hence the honour of introducing these things to him. Later in the afternoon we passed the GPO in O'Connell Street where I concluded my history to him of the Easter Rising, the War of Independence and the Civil War. (Which reminded me that I wanted to ask my RTÉ colleague how the preparations are going for the tricky centenary of the Civil War. When I was over speaking to the RTÉ Board in December 2017 they were just starting to address the project with the President that same day.)
We went back into town via the Irish Museum of Modern Art, taking the Luas (tram) back to the river. My son is really interested at the moment in wild/open water swimming and imagined swimming the Liffey. I told him about Yeats' energetic painting of a swimming race in the National Gallery of Ireland.
I rounded off the day seeing both a 1939 1st edition of 'Finnegan's Wake' (€2,000), which I sent to Finn Fordham who leads the monthly Wake seminar at Senate House I also go to fairly regularly, and a 1922 1st edition of 'Ulysses' from Shakespeare & Co., Paris, 1 of 750 copies, with the famous (among a small but dedicated circle) Greek blue cover (€30,000) at Ulysses Rare Books shop off Grafton Street. I've seen and even handled the 'Ulysses' 1st edition in that fabulous shop before – this one has only been in a month. If I was rich I would buy one alongside a powder blue Mark 2 Jag. My son wanted to know how Joyce had managed to fill 700 pages with two people's wanderings around Dublin for just one day.
I concluded the day in another book shop, The Winding Stair, named after the other Yeats' volume of poetry. For the last 15 years the book part has shrunk to just the ground floor and the 1st and 2nd floors up the eponymous stairs have become a really good Irish restaurant with a view of the river, quays and Ha'penny Bridge. In the past the dining room, where I enjoyed Irish duck and Irish trout this evening, used to be covered in bookshelves full of second-hand volumes. Now just a couple of shelves of books tip a hat to that literary past. The tome I acquired from here that comes first to mind is Siegfried Sassoon's 'Memoirs of a Fox-Hunting Man', a vintage Penguin paperback. Every book becomes a friend.
The Steamboat Ladies
I am sitting in the middle of Woodland Court at Girton College, Cambridge, my alma mater. From this bench I have a good view of the college chapel in one corner and the library in the other. Due to its Victorian gothic red-brick style (built 1874-87) everything here looks like a chapel – the library, the dining hall – one of the main reasons I came here was that I had been reading 'Northanger Abbey' just before choosing a college, was really taken with it, and thought this infidel place looked like it.
Next year Girty celebrates her 150th birthday and through that I came across the 'Steamboat Ladies'. The Steamboat Ladies were female graduates of Cambridge and Oxford who were not granted degrees by their university but were awarded them instead by Trinity College, Dublin which was more progressive with regard to equality in higher education.
This took place between June 1904 (the year in which 'Ulysses' is set) and December 1907. The ladies were forced to board the steamboat for Dublin because their own universities, at which they attended the women-only colleges of Girton, Newnham and Sommerville, refused to confer degrees upon women.
Trinity College, Dublin started admitting female students in 1904. Cambridge and Oxford ghettoised the women in separate female colleges. Girton sits here on the edge of town, a good cycle ride from the centre, because that's as near as the women were allowed. Before here it was in Hitchen, an even safer distance away, 35 miles away in Hertfordshire. The University of Dublin had a tripartite arrangement with Oxford and Cambridge of ad eundem mutual recognition.
By December 1907 Trinity College had granted degrees to around 720 Steamboat Ladies. They had all passed the exams at Oxbridge that earned male students a degree.
By the time I came here in 1983 this was 50/50 mixed, the only such college in Cambridge.
I was about to sit down to write this when Bob Geldof came on the radio to discuss his documentary 'A Fanatic Heart' about the Shakespeare of Ireland that is WB Yeats. During the lively and fascinating interview (with Robert Elms on BBC Radio London) he mentioned that Yeats helped secure a Civil List pension for Joyce.
Joyce and Music and specifically the Sirens chapter of 'Ulysses' was the intended subject of this post.
But the radio intervention provides an appropriate Overture for a piece on that chapter which begins with an Overture composed of seemingly randomly colliding sounds and words.
Yeats made a mistake (self-confessed) about 'Ulysses'. He read parts of Joyce's great Modernist novel in the 'Little Review', the American literary magazine in which it was initially published, and judged it "a mad book" (ironic, given that Geldof has just characterised Yeats as "nuts"). But on further reading Yeats changed his mind: "I have made a terrible mistake – it is perhaps a work of genius… It is an entirely new thing – neither what the eye sees nor the ear hears, but what the rambling mind thinks and imagines from moment to moment. He has certainly surpassed in intensity any novelist of our time."
Yeats bought himself a copy of the first edition of 'Ulysses' (1922) like this one I saw in Dublin in December while I was over working at RTE (the launch of whose TV services Geldof also mentioned in the wide-ranging interview in relation to Ireland's sense of itself as a nation).
This one has a €30,000 price tag. A bargain given that a copy sold in 2009 for £275,000.
Yeats was an early champion of Joyce. They first met in October 1902 at the National Library in Dublin (which I visited a few minutes after taking that picture of the 1st edition, it's literally a stone's throw away). Yeats was 39 at the time, Joyce half the age at 20. As they parted Joyce declared: "I have met you too late. You are too old." The kind of thing Geldof would have said when the Boomtown Rats first made their mark.
When Joyce travelled to Paris in 1902 and 1903 he passed through London and hooked up with Yeats (who lived a stone's throw from Euston), had dinner with him and allowed Yeats to introduce him to his London literary circle.
Here's another piece I wrote (Yeats Mates) prompted by the Robert Elms show about Yeats (in London). I wrote that piece back in 2015, the 150th anniversary of Yeats' birth, on 14th June, the day after his birthday and the events described in that post. Yeats' birthday is therefore the day after Robert Elms's (which I happen to know as it is the same day as my wife's) and three days before Bloomsday (the day Ulysses takes place on): 16th June. Things seem to be aligning themselves.
So Geldof, a musician, was talking about Yeats, a poet/writer, as I was preparing to compose a piece on the chapter of 'Ulysses' which examines "what … the ear hears", the seduction of Music.
Last night I went for the second time to the Charles Peake Ulysses seminar, a seminar series that has been running monthly for yonks. I was first told about it some ten years ago by Fritz Senn at the Stiftung James Joyce in Zurich but I never quite got my act together to track it down. Until December, prompted by a visit to the shop where Leopold Bloom bought the bar of lemon soap he has it his pocket throughout 16th June 1904. I wrote about that visit here (Back in the Old Country).
On my first visit to the seminar I was welcomed with enthusiasm: "You're timing is lucky – we're just starting a new chapter." I didn't quite appreciate the significance of this until it became evident that the group had spent 4 years doing the last chapter. When we reached the end of our session someone commented, straight faced, no messing: "Great session, folks – we did 76 lines!"
So the rambling mind comes to the point of this post (which will be an evolving post). While we were working our way word by word, comma by colon, through the next few lines last night I made an observation that when the boots (servant) in the Ormond Hotel bar on the north bank of the Liffey (where the Sirens chapter largely takes place) slams down a tray of tea things for the two barmaids who are those said Sirens, it is like the cymbals player in an orchestra, a lowly member of the ensemble delighting in his simple task and loud execution. For some reason it brought to mind the crescendo of Hitch's 'The Man Who Knew Too Much' (1956 US version) in the Technicolor Albert Hall.
The crashing tea tray made me reflect on the sequence of non-verbal sounds in the chapter so I took a notion to make a list of those sounds and see what patterns emerge.
So here is a list of the sounds making up the music-focused chapter (No. 11) of James Joyce's 'Ulysses' – 'Sirens':
(page references are to the Danis Rose edition of 1997 (Picador) which my Mrs bought me two decades ago as 'Ulysses' emerged as my favourite book)
- the "ringing steel" of hoofs from the cavalcade passing by the bar (p.246)
- tittering of Lydia Douce (one of the barmaids)
- laughter of same
- "chattering china" of tea for Lydia and Mina Kennedy (the other barmaid) followed by the tea tray being "banged" on the counter by the boots
- steel and hoofs (reprise) "steelhoofs ringhoof ringsteel" (p.247)
- "shrill shriek of laughter" of Mina (p.248)
- "huffed and snorted" – Lydia
- Lydia "chimed in in deep bronze laughter"
- "giggling peal young goldbronze voices blended" – both barmaids "high piercing notes"
- "panting, sighing, sighing"
- Mina "gigglegiggled"
- Lydia "spluttered … choking … laughter … coughing" "a splended yell, a full yell of full woman"
- [to be continued – from p.249]
Today in 1916, Dublin – Easter Saturday – Nearly strangled at birth
Easter Saturday (22nd April 1916)
As I start this post the centenary commemoration and celebrations of the Easter Rising are kicking off in Dublin. I was hoping to get over there but couldn't quite make it happen. I got a bit of a feel for the mood and thoughts when I was over in Donegal last week. The last time I was in Dublin for the anniversary was on 8th April 2007, the 91st. That day I went down to the GPO to watch the official commemoration at which a female officer of the Irish army read out the Proclamation of Independence in front of the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and the President Mary McAleese. It was on the stairs of the General Post Office that Padraig Pearse first read those words a century ago.
To transport myself there for the 100th I'm going to post a hundred-years-ago-today account of the Rising over the next week.
The Easter Saturday should have been the eve of the Rising but the big day had to be postponed by 24 hours to Easter Monday.
On the Saturday the under-secretary for Ireland Sir Matthew Nathan writes to the chief secretary Augustine Birrell saying: "I see no indications of a rising". So a bit like Michael Fish missing the Great Storm of October 1987 or Dick Rowe turning down The Beatles at Decca. Nathan was a career colonial administrator, born in Paddington of Jewish descent.
Meanwhile James Connolly and men of his Irish Citizen Army are installed in Liberty Hall on Beresford Place/Eden Quay,headquarters of the Irish Transport and General Workers Union and of the ICA. It's where Constance Markievicz and Maud Gonne ran a soup kitchen for workers' families during the Dublin Lock-out in 1913. In 1916 it served as a factory for the manufacture of bombs, bayonets and arms for the impending rebellion. Eventually the leaders of the Rising marched from there to the GPO to proclaim the Republic and start the Rising (but more of that on Monday). The building was left vacant throughout Easter Week, but the British didn't know that and selected the Hall as the first target to be shelled. It was largely destroyed by British artillery during the Rising.
So back to the previous failure of British intelligence – "I see no indications of a rising". The next day Nathan and the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, Lord Wimborne, find out that five 50lb cases of dynamite have been stolen from a quarry in County Wicklow, just south of Dublin, and the police suspect they have been taken to Liberty Hall. At the Vice Regal Lodge in Phoenix Park Wimborne and Nathan discuss the situation with the military and police. Wimborne wants an immediate raid on Liberty Hall with arrests, using 100 troops and 100 police. The Royal Irish Constabulary are more cautious, reckoning the leaders will not be there (some were), there will be significant loss of life and the press will be highly critical. Wimborne eventually agrees to postpone till Monday to allow time for the military to prepare properly and on the basis the rebel leaders would probably be there. In Wimborne's words: "It was no good to stir up the hornets' nest unless they could capture the hornets."
Had they acted on Wimborne's initial instincts the Rising would have been strangled at birth on Saturday and, in the words of Euston's finest, no terrible beauty born.
Tower of Power (Day 89)
Tidied up my model chapter, With a Little Help from My Friend, added the intro and the piece between Chapters 1 and 2 and then sent it to two people for some fresh-eyed feedback. The first tentative steps into the public domain! No. 1 copy went to my Other Half and the second to a friend, Farrah, whose opinion I really respect but who I feel sufficiently safe with.
Then I went for a run back to Sandymount Strand where a Godsky was illuminating the beach.
A good breakfast back at Bewley's, a quick catch-up with an old friend of mine on his way back from an interview for production design on a horror movie, and then a great chat with TV producer Steve Lock who hails from my NW London neck of the woods but has ended up in Greystones, along the coast South of Sandymount and Dun Laoghaire (I'm always impressed with myself that I can actually spell that name). Steve helped me a few weeks back with the Tony Wilson/Music chapter, Chapter 2) by being interviewed about his time working with Tony at Granada. He kindly brought along today the Factory Christmas card for 1988 consisting of a flick-book animation from a New Order video and his FAC51 card for the Hacienda.
Steve dropped me off at Sandycove Point where I went to visit the Martello Tower where Ulysses begins. First a scene on the roof of the tower, looking across the bay to Howth Head where the book ends, the story physically embracing Joyce's native city; then the characters descend and head over the lane to the Forty Foot, a rocky outcrop just opposite the Tower from which people have been swimming in the Irish Sea of Dublin Bay all year round for some 250 years. There was an auld fella swimming just round the corner this very afternoon – January 15th, full on winter, albeit a beautiful sunlit afternoon.
I didn't get any other writing done today, too busy immersing myself in a perfect yellowy afternoon, which will charge the creative batteries if nothing else. I'll get onto the synopsis document I need to produce tomorrow. In the meantime, here are some images from the Sandycove adventure…
ReJoycing in Dublin (Day 87)
You could call it bathos, you could call it homage, but it felt like a good idea plugging into the Joyce vibe whilst in Dublin, channelling some of that energy into When Sparks Fly. So I'm writing this in the National Library of Ireland on Kildare Street which Leopold Bloom visits to check up on an old ad he'd placed in a Dublin paper. As previously mentioned in relation to Sylvia Beach/Publishing and in this blog pre-sabbatical, I'm a real lover of Ulysses.
This reading room can't have changed much since 1904 when Ulysses is set. It's remiscent of the Reading Room in the old British Library with its pastel colours (here green, there blue) and circular ceiling (here a semi-circle extended into a barrel vault, there totally circular). The only time I ever did any research in that venerable circle was to look up an out-of-print Dr Seuss book (The Big Leap) with a TV project in mind. Here I haven't even got a Dr Seuss book as I believe you need a reader's ticket to work in here so I'm an illegal and daren't monkey with the books in case I get turfed out. It's drizzly out there and I like this place so head down, eyes on my fries, try not to attract attention. That librarian over there with the Victorian beard and red tie looks like he could turn nasty.
So I got a bit of writing in yesterday (Sunday) to catch up a bit on the slack days at the end of last week, did a bit more before leaving for the airport, and finished off late in the afternoon in my room in Bewley's Hotel in Ballsbridge, South Dublin, an old masonic school. I finished my second draft of Chapter 1 on Allen Ginsberg after a whole week, longer than I expected but at least it reads well and I finally have a polished draft to use as my model chapter.
On the way over I read Barry Miles' book about the Beat Hotel in preparation for my interview with him next month and as deep research for the Ginsberg chapter. I picked up my copy at Shakespeare and Company in Paris on Day 53 and visited its location on Rue Git-le-Coeur the same afternoon, another enjoyable literary pilgrimage.
Once I got to the hotel, with the winter late afternoon light fast fading, before settling down to writing I headed down the Sandymount Road opposite the hotel to get some air. I passed a hotel opposite where I once co-wrote a film entitled Memories Are Made of This (with a suitable Doris Day soundtrack). A block down I came, unexpectedly, to an urban cottage on a corner which a brass plaque indicates to be the birthplace of WB Yeats.
I carried on down to the coast, beyond the DART railway, and through a slice of Dublin 4 where I came out at Sandymount Strand, the sun now down and an almost full moon now out, reflected in the wet sand of the broad beach at low tide. I walked up to the Martello Tower, not The Martello Tower but a Martello Tower in the same coastal chain as the famous one in which the opening scene of Ulysses is set. That's four and a half miles further down on Sandycove Point. I was hoping to go down there this afternoon but the weather's too Irish (in contrast to yesterday afternoon at this time) so I'll try again tomorrow and for now make do with the Library which is new Ulysses territory for me (the Tower I've been in before, notably on the centenary BloomsDay in 2004).
I went down onto the Strand in the silvery light. A few dog walkers and joggers provided occasional punctuation but largely I was alone with my lunatic self. I took out the ol' iPhone and on it I have two books – Kidnapped (which I've never got far into) and Ulysses. This electronic copy is the vehicle for my slow 4th reading, running in parallel to my further advanced 3rd reading of my trusty hardback copy. I opened the Eucalyptus app and on the very page I had previously reached was Gertie (MacDowell)'s name, the girl Bloom watches (in a naughty way) on this very strand. I leafed forwards a few pages to get Stephen Daedalus out of the stiffling school he teaches in and onto his walk into Dublin down Sandymount Strand. As he walks onto the beach it's a philosophically charged moment, he has his eyes closed and is wondering what status the world has on the other side of his eyelids, whether and how it exists without being the focus of his conscious mind.
"I am getting on nicely in the dark … Am I walking into eternity along Sandymount Strand?"
Bloom later crosses Stephen's path on the strand (Stephen by then long gone) when he spots Gertie and the girls and has a vigorous flight of fancy. Opposite the beach, in the distance, is Howth Head where the book climaxes.
I read for a bit on the illuminated screen on the illuminated beach then headed back to write.
For the evening I made for the gates of Trinity College to meet a colleague from RTE with whom I'm working tomorrow. Chat and food and a little drink was partaken of.
Who does that librarian remind me of? It's really bugging me now. Lytton Strachey? Roger Casement? No, it's someone alive and closer to home…
I came home, did a little more writing, read a bit more of The Beat Hotel in a hotel room far removed from Room 32 of M. Rachou's establishment, no radio coming from the sink plughole or any other eccentric plumbing, no rationed hot water or limiting of the electric light to 40W, no smells of garlic, or of worse from the Turkish-style two foot position squatty hole arrangement so typical of Paris back in the day. You can't build an empire on crappy plumbing as our very own Bazalgette, forbear of the man who brought the magnificent ordure of Big Brother to Channel 4, proved. I suspect the pipes in the Tower also left something to be desired, but then you got to shave outdoors overlooking the snot green sea so what's to complain about. It's a fair city indeed.
Lost & Found (your help needed)
I'm just embarking on my next project here at Channel 4, an arts one, working with Tim Wright and Rob Bevan with whom I made MindGym in the pioneer days. It's to do with lost stuff and we need to gather some people's experiences to get the ball rolling…
Here's the questions:
- What was the last thing you lost that you really cared about? and when was that?
- What was the last thing you found that might have been difficult for the loser to replace? and when was that?
Seems only fair if I kick off…
The last thing I lost: A Parker Duofold fountain pen, Mosaic model, red white and grey, limited edition. The first time I ever splashed out on a fancy pen. Loved the weight of it, the pearly surface, the resonance of the Jazz Age. Lost it in Dublin airport I think. Just over a year ago. Thought it was irreplaceable as it was an old limited edition, was gutted. But ended happily though it was never found – thanks to my trusty browser, found a bloke still selling them in NYC. It currently has Saffron coloured ink in it from Caran d'Ache – most decadent.
The last thing I found: A mobile phone in the ferns along the path up Slieve Foy, the mountain that overlooks Ceol na Mara, my mother-in-laws house in Carlingford, County Louth, Ireland. It turned out a fella had lost it mountain biking over the ridge near Queen Meabh's Gap. I rang the first number in it which was the owner's pal, he got the owner to ring me and we fixed a rendez-vous at PJ's (officially The Anchor Bar but no-one calls it that) where he bought me a hot port and the Enfants Terribles red lemonade (it's an Irish thing) by way of reward. That also was just over a year ago.
So now over to you – it would be really helpful if you'd spend a moment recalling what you last lost and found…
Human Behan
I promised previously on Drinker with a Writing Problem to report back on 'Brendan at the Chelsea' at the Riverside, Hammersmith once I'd seen it. Well on Thursday I made a bee-line back from the rather sober Oxford Media Conference to get back in time for the press night of the play.
As I emerged from Hammersmith tube I bumped into Grant Dean of Eidos (home of Tomb Raider) and his sweet little daughter. Grant and I know one another from the BAFTA Interactive Entertainment Committee – he went on to chair the Video Games Committee while I went on to the TV Committee to try and make the rest of interactive entertainment beyond games part of the mainstream of the Academy. I remember trying to convey to the TV Committee a concept I called 'New Television' (you can imagine how well that went down) and introducing to them, among a selection of other emerging sites, this new thing called 'YouTube' (which I'd only come across two or three weeks before). A couple of years down the track and Malcolm Garrett, Martin Freeth, Terry Braun, Martyn Ware, a few other stalwarts and I are still fighting that particular battle.
Meanwhile, back in old media Hammersmith I walked past a cinematic Hammersmith Odeon shiny in the night rain, down past the painter Frank Brangwyn's walled house, to the Riverside.
And there I watched a barnstorming performance by Adrian Dunbar as the Irish playwright Brendan Behan. A charismatic, cathartic, compelling performance.
The play was written by Behan's own niece – Janet, daughter of writer and playwright Brian Behan. I saw her straight after curtain-down in the foyer and I've never seen anyone so charged. It had taken her six years to get this very well written, tight, witty script staged. What a kick to see it realised with such skill and energy to climax in a standing ovation. What a kick to hear your audience join in the singing – "Fair fucks to yer!" responded Brendan (whether that was in the script or not – no idea).
In the bar after, the superbly talented, modest and warm Brid Brennan, who played Behan's missus, told me and the Missus that, from her experience, the kind of reaction the performance prompted from the audience that night was something very special. My Missus reckoned the turning-point was the scene where a drunken Behan crashes on stage at a performance of his play 'The Hostage' on Broadway – in his naturally ebullient way, he breaks into song (Adie has a wonderful classic Irish tenor voice) and the Riverside audience joined in becoming the Broadway crowd.
Equally stunned on emerging was Anna Nygh, Adie's wife, also an actor. She'd heard him rehearsing the lines around the house (a helluva lot of lines as he drives the two hours of dialogue) but had no notion quite how much he was inhabiting the character – or vice versa… She summed it up by confirming 'It's taken his acting up a level'.
The action is centred on Behan's room in the legendary Chelsea Hotel on West 23rd in New York. He's struggling to write a book about New York of which he's already drunk the advance. It's not only his publisher he's let down but also his mistress and baby son. And his wife Beatrice is just about to show up from Dublin. With a tape recorder on his desk and a pint of whiskey under his mattress, he reflects on the journey that brought him from inner city Dublin to the weird&wonderful diversity of the streets of New York, through which the paparazzi pursue him. One of the highpoints of the play is a Berkoff-like set piece when Behan enacts the moment a journalist lured him out of sobriety by sending a free drink over to him at a bar, three fellow under-cover hacks watching from the shadows.
The show is punctuated with cracking lines. Like the one about the definition of an Irish homosexual – a man who prefers a woman to a drink.
When Adie emerged from the dressing room afterwards, I had to congratulate him for making such a good fat man. He's so slight in real life but with just a bit of a belly added beneath his shirt he played Behan's drinker's bulkiness with such conviction you saw it in his restricted diabetic movements and bloated lumbering.
What 'Brendan at the Chelsea' showed above all was the paradox of a man who clearly loved life and spent every day trying to kill himself. He expressed a great fear of just being an ordinary human Behan which was why he disappeared to New York in the first place – he loved being immersed among the extraordinary flotsam of a big city.
The play is on until 3rd February – do yourself a favour…
Happy Christmas you arses
With Channel 4 Radio coming over the horizon, what better reminder of why it's sorely needed than Radio 1's sacrilegious censoring of Shane MacGowan's lyrics in the best Christmas song ever – Fairytale of New York. The people who failed to censure Fatboy Moyles' dodgy use of the word "gay" have had the bare-arsed cheek to clumsily cut the word "faggot" from that bit we all love to sing-along with:
You're a bum
You're a punk
You're an old slut on junk
Lying there almost dead on a drip in that bed
You scumbag, you maggot
You cheap lousy faggot
Happy Christmas your arse
I pray God it's our last
And while we're celebrating the genius of Shane's lyrics (difficult to reconcile with the figure who showed up like a benign Bill Sykes at Adie Dunbar's last gig at the Boogaloo in Highgate with the Jonahs), let's wheel out the title track from his first post-Pogues album, the Snake:
The Snake With Eyes Of Garnet
Last night as I lay dreaming
My way across the sea
James Mangan brought me comfort
With laudnum and poitin
He flew me back to Dublin
In 1819
To a public execution
Being held on Stephen's Green
The young man on the platform
Held his head up and he did sing
Then he whispered hard into my ear
As he handed me this ring
"If you miss me on the harbour
For the boat, it leaves at three
Take this snake with eyes of garnet
My mother gave to me!
This snake cannot be captured
This snake cannot be tied
This snake cannot be tortured, or
Hung or crucified
It came down through the ages
It belongs to you and me
So pass it on and pass it on
'Til all mankind is free."
Now there's a song that will be sung in a hundred years time, long after Radio 1 is history. There's echoes in there of the greatest London-Irish poetry…
I walked, with other souls in pain,
Within another ring,
And was wondering if the man had done
A great or little thing,
When a voice behind me whispered low,
"That fellow's got to swing."
Dear Christ! the very prison walls
Suddenly seemed to reel,
And the sky above my head became
Like a casque of scorching steel;
And, though I was a soul in pain,
My pain I could not feel.
Here's to the wilde men of words! Mess with genius in your hole! Happy Christmas your arse! Slainte

Here's What You Need to Know About Car Transport in WISNER
Do you need to move a car to another WISNER or state without actually having it driven to a new location? There are several reasons that people need to find a good car transport company in WISNER. While those who engage in the business of selling vehicles online might use WISNER car transporters all of the time, many people only need them once in awhile. Either way, you want to be certain that you find the right company who can deliver your vehicle in great shape for the right price.
These are some reasons that people use WISNER car shipping:
• Are you moving out of town and want to be certain that your vehicle is waiting for you when you get to your new home?
• Did you sell a vehicle online or with a classified ad, and part of the deal is transporting your car to a buyer in another WISNER?
• Would you like to give your old car to an adult child or another family member or friend in another WISNER?
In any case, you want to be certain that you find a good deal. Rates for different companies can vary quite a bit for the exact same service. You can make arrangements for WISNER discount car hauling with carriers who may be able to fit your vehicle into a larger load.
Besides finding a good price, you will need to be sure that you are working with a reliable and experienced WISNER car transport company. It will not do you any good to save a few dollars on your move only to find out that your car has been damaged in the move, and the transporter flakes out when you need them to pay a claim.
How to Protect Your Car When Using Auto Transport Companies in WISNER,LA
These are some things to do to protect your car when using a WISNER car shipping company:
• Make sure the transport company carries insurance.
• Learn how to prepare your vehicle properly for shipment.
• Take photos of your vehicle to document its condition before shipping.
• Get guarantees in writing before you release your vehicle to a WISNER auto moving company.
• Make certain they give you a schedule, so you know when your vehicle will arrive in the new WISNER.
Your vehicle is a valuable piece of property, and you want to make sure that the WISNER auto shipping company takes care of it as well as you would. An experienced local company should be able to tell you what steps they take to protect your vehicle. If you have ever had any auto body work done in 71378, you know how even small damages can cause thousands of dollars to repair.
Of course, accidents happen to even the best WISNER auto hauling companies, and that is why any reputable shipper will carry their own insurance to make sure you are protected in case the worst happens. You might still carry your own insurance, but you should also be sure the transport company has coverage too. They are getting paid to make certain that your vehicle arrives at a new WISNER in the same shape it was in when you released it to them.
Find the Best Vehicle Transport Service in WISNER
The best WISNER auto moving company is not always the most expensive one. Quite often, you can find some great bargains when you need to move a car, truck, or van from WISNER to another location. However, you should take the time to make certain that you are dealing with a reliable company, so you or the person who takes delivery do not suffer from any unpleasant surprises down the road.
Once you find the right car carrier in WISNER, you can enjoy the peace of mind of knowing that your valuable vehicle is in good hands as it travels to a new WISNER or state. However, it pays to compare services because they are not all exactly the same!

In honor of no shave november, today I will be ironic and blog about my facial routine.
Personally I feel like shaving CAN help facial hair grow. I'm not saying it does & I'm not saying it doesnt. However I DONT think it has any negative side effects.
For me, personally; shaving ALONG with my facial hygiene routine did help my facial hair grow.
If you know me then you know I have had problems in the past with schedule keeping so technically the routine I am about to explain is more of an outline than a exact dialogue. Ha ha. Bare with me.
1.) Wash your face
2.) Rinse your face
3.) Moisturize your face
**Not kidding folks all of those steps are important. Don't skip any!
Going through my first puberty (more of a small growth hiccup) I was lucky enough to not have acne problems. Unfortunately I also had "not so great" facial hygiene. Since my face didnt require that extra attention as a result of acne.. I didnt pay it any attention at all.
Fast fowarding to a few years ago when I began my transistion & went through my 2 puberty. I would exactly call it acne, but my face definitely went through something. I'm assuming it was because of new peach fuzz poppin through un-used hair follicles, sweating more profusely & small changes in everyday activities.
So now I have to like wash my face everyday… Ugh
(just kidding, kinda)
After growing tired of popping pimples on my jawline & putting toothpaste on my cheeks; I started taking exquisite care of my face.
Washing your face in the shower every day is a duh, right? Yeah, but somehow I still managed to jack that up.
So my routine now is to have a separate towel for my face with a 3 day max use. I only wash my face with gold dial antibiotic bar soap or the white dove sensitive skin bar soap. I save the smell good soap for my body.
Next is a step that I used to half-a** all the time.
I rinse my face until its squeaky clean, literally. And usually once more after. No matter how "skin friendly" a soap says it is, not properly rinsing can clog your pores and cause a pimple outbreak.
Also,(here's the part where its mostly an outline) I wash my face once when I get out of bed and once before laying down for bed. Not sure about the statistics or fun facts behind this, It just makes my face feel cleaner.
Do NOT OVER moisturize your face! That puts you back at square one, with an oily dirty face covered in gunk thats just not supposed to be there. Drying your face out can also be a con. But personally I rather be a little ashy than greasy.
Im not going to tell you what I use, (no one pays me for advertising, yet) but just listen to your body and try not to constantly over or under do it.
And that is how I finally learned how to properly wash my face at age 22.
Again, I am not a scientist nor do I have scientic proof for the following statement. This is my personal opinions and results.
When I started to feel blue about being "beardless", I took it upon myself to be proactive and started to try and grow a legit beard.
Now when I say proactively grow a beard a mean I adopted the habit as if I had patchy stubble, instead of just sporadic peach fuzz.
I started shaving my (imaginary) beard every 2 to 4 days. Sometimes clean, but mostly trying different styles. Always using a sharp razor, shaving cream & after shave. Even faithfully brushing my beard & carrying my brush almost 100% of the time.
Occasionally doing smaller things I read online; like daily 10-15min facial massages, eating foods that promotes healthy skin and hair & home made mixture that stimulate hair follicles.
It took a while, but eventually I started seeing more facial hair. At first it was barely noticable. The longer and more strict I was with my invented routine the more changes I saw.
In the recent months I started seeing my imaginary beard come to life. Just barely, but its nice to have peach fuzz everywhere you want with connections. Gives me hope for when I shed my down feathers and grow into my big boy beard. Ha ha.
"Patience is key. Finding what individually works for you is the lock. And your beard is the door, open it up."
No shave november is more than letting your beard grow, boycotting the barber & letting your inner hippy breathe. November is cancer awarenes month. (as well as transgender, diabetes & men's health awareness month)
During November if you choose to participate in #NSN let your hair grow wild, free & unkept. This is done for a few different reasons.
To show support and solidarity to all those who have lost the ability to grow hair due to chemotherapy while battling any type of cancer & those that have passed because of it.
To raise awareness about all different types of cancer. If you are normally known to be clean and neat; you will arouse questions when you change to a more of a wild and free look. "Why?" Conversation starter!
To donate all of the money that you would normally spend on hair care products such as hair cuts and styles, razors and shaving accessories, relaxers, perm etc to a cancer charity.
No shave november is mostly known in the male community and is expected to bring thick wild facial hair from stubble to paul bunyan beards. But everyone can participate in #nsn , men, women & everything in between. You dont have to skip a hair cut & you don't have to have to grow an overnight drake beard. No shave november = cancer awarness. As long as you spreading awarness you are paticipate.
And that my friends.. is the real story behind the misunderstood & misinterpreted #NoShaveNovember
Thanks for stopping by and see you next time 🌎✌
Peace & blessings
