If you have ever been on stage, you'll understand the feeling of stage fright, the way nerves grip your insides, how everything squirms, your heart pounds, your breath becomes shallow and you feel like you just want to close your eyes and run. You look out towards the audience from the wings and you know they're going to scrutinise your every move, your performance has to be perfect and the pressure to be perfect is immense… then there's being thrown in at the deep end and just getting on with it. You don't have time to think, you just do, and I did. My first take off!
There we were, having just completed the pre-flight checks and Capt. Dan Jack, instructed me to "line up" (getting yourself positioned, middle of the runway, ready to go) Then, when we got to the runway he said "you may as well do this one", which I have to admit threw me a little but my few hours of training kicked in and I started talking my way through the process. Brakes on, full power… ready to go, release… (you can see the whole thing in the video below)
I'm sure you have already been in an aircraft and have experienced the "thrust" at take off, but it is still, even now, surprising just how quickly a little Piper PA28 Diesel gets its self moving, especially when every fiber of your being wants to steer it down the runway at ever increasing speeds with your hands and not your feet. There was a little cross breeze of a few knots so, ailerons into the wind, steering with the rudder and before I knew it, we were hitting 55 knots and the aircraft was starting to get light… then, seconds later wheels were up and we were in the air… careering or so I felt towards some pig huts, a road and Old Sarum Castle far too quickly for comfort… I have less confidence in my ability than Dan Jack, who gently reminded me to relax, and I coaxed the plane into the air and towards 1100 feet. So what did I learn from this first take-off experience? Well, 1. Don't panic, the aircraft fly's better than me. 2. less of "boot full of rudder" and more a "gentle squeeze" as its far to easy to over-do the rudder and cause the aeroplane to yaw, roll and slip oh and 3… I WANT TO DO IT AGAIN!
The next part of the lesson was turning, a medium 30 degree turn in each direction while maintaining altitude. More difficult than it looks, but quite easy to master. You'll know from driving that every car has its own cruising speed, the speed at which it settles comfortably on the motorway, mine (annoyingly) sits at 76 so its on with the cruise control. The same can be said for pilots in turns apparently because my novice technique balances around 25 degrees and I have to really think about pushing for a greater angle of turn. The only thing I can tell you, for now about turning an aircraft is, a little squeeze of rudder to keep it balanced (in the direction of the turn, so a right turn requires a little touch of right rudder) and a little back pressure on the yoke to maintain altitude. Get all of the above in balance and the result is a nice smooth turn.
I have never been one for practicing, or revising. I hated, as a kid having to practice piano for an hour a day, learning lines for a school play, or revising for exams but all of the lessons, up to this one have been about learning how to control the aircraft, how the controls work and how they have an effect of the machine. Its from here everything will now begin to come together. All I have learned in the air and in the classroom will be become one show… a show I don't mind practicing for and a performance that I don't want to miss.

I find him looking over my shoulder on occasion to see if I'm still alive. Poor man, I think he thinks I've checked out on him. Hell half the time I have.

(Banner will apear here)
15:42 : A powerful bomb blast rips through the market of Hadera. The unsuspecting group of Israelis never knew what hit them before they were literally blown to smithereens. Twenty-year old Hassan Abu-Zeid, a member of the Islamic Jihad organization had detonated over ten pounds of explosives he was carrying in a satchel. Five people were murdered outright, over thirty others were wounded, some of them critically. In the Gaza Strip, the Islamic Jihad was quick to claim responsibility while Palestinian leader Mahmoud Abbas again condemned terrorism against Israel, warning that the violence was sabotaging a future Palestinian state. While the terrorists were bombing in Hadera, Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad called for Israel to be wiped off the map.
While Prime Minister Ariel Sharon was making his speech to the U.N. General Assembly in New York, anarchy ruled in the Gaza Strip and in the Philadelfi Corridor between Gaza And Egypt which is now manned by Egyptian soldiers after IDF troops pulled out. The Israeli leader has also made clear that if Hamas runs in the Palestinian elections this January, Israel will not cooperate. Hamas has a declared goal of wiping Israel off the map. Following Sharon's address at the U.N., the new Iranian President Ahmed Ahmadinejad again defied the international body by declaring that Tehran will continue its enrichment of uranium required for producing nuclear weapons. Iran has also threatened to exterminate the Jewish state.
The election of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, acting on the orders from Islamic leaders who call for Israel's extermination, presents an even greater threat to the Jewish state. However, Menashe Amir, a leading Israeli expert on Iran, also says Tehran is threatening Europe & The U.S. as well as targets in the Middle East. The Iranians are determined to continue their drive to acquire nuclear weapons and will start resuming the enrichment of uranium for nuclear weapons, unless deterred by the European Union and the U.S. Moreover, although Iran already has developed a missile capable of delivering a nuclear warhead to many parts of the region, it is also working on an intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 10,000 kilometers (over 6,000 miles). Interviewed by David Essing, analyst Amir also foresees the new Iranian President stepping up aid to Hezbollah in south Lebanon and Hamas and particularly the Islamic Jihad in the Palestinian areas.

Dmitriev, head of the Russian state's direct investment fund, was the first Russian official to predict a deal with OPEC in 2016 and since then became a key defender of the pact despite pressure from domestic oil firms to drop the agreement, Reuters reported.
Dmitriev, an envoy for Moscow in the Middle East in general and Saudi Arabia in particular, had in recent months said it was still too early to terminate output cuts, echoing the position of OPEC's de-facto leader, Saudi Arabia.
But in an apparent change of position, Dmitriev said on Monday supply cuts may not be required after June.
"It is quite possible that given the improving market situation and falling stocks, OPEC and its allies could decide in June this year to abandon supply cuts and subsequently increase output," he added.
"This decision will not mean the end of the deal but a confirmation that participants continue their coordinating efforts when it is important not only to cut but to increase output depending on market conditions," he said.
The Saudi energy minister, Khalid al-Falih, said on Monday it was premature to say whether a consensus existed among OPEC and its allies to extend oil supply cuts, but a meeting next month would be key.
A joint OPEC and non-OPEC ministerial committee known as the JMMC is due to meet in May. Saudi Arabia and Russia are members of the panel, which includes other major oil producers that took part in a global supply-cutting agreement last year, such as Iraq, the United Arab Emirates, Kuwait, Nigeria and Kazakhstan.
"JMMC will be a key decision point because we will certainly by then know where the consensus view is and, more importantly, before we ask for consensus, we will know where the fundamentals are pointing," al-Falih, said.

The National Parks Service is considering requiring all private vehicles to have a permit to enter Arches National Park based on time of day during the peak months of March to October. There will be 4 time slots available, though arrivals before 7am and after 6pm will not require a reservation. Biking and walking into the park (the latter being a hard proposition at Arches) will not require a reservations to enter. Interestingly, if you have a campground reservation or a Fiery Furnace hiking reservation, that qualifies you to enter without an additional private vehicle entry reservation. The comment period for the proposed use of entry reservations for is now online. Feel free to comment as you see fit.
The NPS has tentatively decided that the cap will be around 2,000 private vehicles per day. Roughly 75% of those will be bookable (for free) via recreation.gov at the 6 month window. The remaining 25% will be held back for "day before" or "day of" reservations.
The NPS has long been interested in traffic and parking management at Arches National Park. This is a culmination of many studies, some dating back to the 1980's. Traffic since 2013 has spiked at Arches (and the other Utah parks) and at this point, the NPS feels something must be done. During our last visit in 2016, we noticed it was a significant issue and the Devil's Garden parking filled up by 9:00 a.m. and the line to enter, as we exited one day at 2:00 p.m., stretched nearly 1/2 a mile back to highway US 191. It will be interesting to see if and how this works.
A free public shuttle system inside the park has been previously reviewed and the NPS has found it to be both too expensive and too long, as it would take a bus 80 minutes to travel from one end of the park to the other.
The NPS does note this will help with conservation, as there are less vehicles on the road and also less illegal parking along the sides of roads and away from parking lots.
Interestingly, a proposed but ultimately rejected idea was to pave the Salt Valley Road and use it as a second entrance in the north by the Devil's Garden. The Salt Valley Road goes right through the heart of the backcountry of Arches and it was determined to let that land stay as unencumbered wilderness.

December 8, 201O
I must apologize to all our friends who have written in the last few weeks worried about us. The pressure we have been under since November 6 has been enormous. I have just not had the time or energy left from all our endeavors to fill in a daily log. So here, in one nutshell, is an overview of the last couple of months.
We took possession of our new house on November 1, 2010. After closing, which went very well, we came down to the house to study the layout and get some ideas of where to put furniture. We invited a couple of our close friends to come and look at the place and they showed up around 2:00 pm. "J" needed to use the restroom so we pointed him to the master bath which was the only one that had any toilet paper. A few minutes later he came out and told us "Your bidet squirted me in the face!" After we all finished laughing we got to the task of looking around. We are still amazed at this house. After we get settled in and I have some time I intend to devote an entire section of the website to the man who built our home.
After we got tired we retired to our trailer, in Golden, since we had no furniture in the house.
The next day, November 2, 2010, was incredibly busy. The day started with the carpet cleaners. We used a local independent company and was very impressed with their service. We will use them again the next time we need carpets cleaned. In the middle of all that confusion, a representative from ADT alarm service we called came over to check out the system for service. He told us they didn't know how to program the old system installed in the house, the control box and all the keypads would have to be replaced. Cost of the control box and 2 keypads would run about $600, to have all 10 keypads replaced would be over $1000. Monthly monitoring would be about $35 a month.
After he left we called the local company that had been monitoring the system, and that had helped the builder to install the system. They would send a rep out on Friday to discuss the system and monthly monitoring would be $18.
In the afternoon, we had a locksmith come out and he re-keyed all the locks in the house so they are on the same key. Then the installer from Comcast cable came and hooked up cable, telephone, and Internet service. All this was going on while the carpets were being cleaned. By the end of the day we were totally exhausted.
On Wednesday, November 3, we moved our trailer from Golden, Colorado, North of Denver, to the Air Force Academy campground near Colorado Springs. While the distance from the campground to the house is about the same, the drive from the south is much easier and faster than having to drive through rush hour traffic in Denver.
On Thursday, November 4, our furniture was delivered, an all day event. In the middle of that craziness our new LG washer and dryer was delivered and installed. Most of the day's stuff was over by 3:00 pm then our new desks were delivered. That was quite an event in itself. After looking around the house, the delivery men decided the easiest way to bring them inside was around to the back of the house and through the bedroom sliding glass door. Then the desks wouldn't fit through the door of the study. They were 1/4 inch too big. Frank took a close look and found he could remove the slider feet which were one inch in diameter nailed in, so with the help of a claw hammer the feet came off and the desks fit with 1/16 inch to spare.
Back to the trailer for the night.
Friday was a day for sorting and opening boxes. Tom spent most of the day trying to organize the kitchen. When we finally got all the boxes unloaded and stuff stuck in the cabinets (several weeks later) about half the drawers and cabinets remain empty. In the evening we went to downtown Denver for a rodeo association meeting. We got back to our trailer at the Air Force Academy around midnight.
Saturday and part of Sunday we spent unpacking more boxes.
Monday morning we left the trailer and house and began a 3 day drive to Reno, Nevada for IGRA Convention.
We got back home on Wednesday, November 17, and we were both exhausted.
The following 3 nights we commuted from the house to the trailer for sleeping. When we had packed everything up back in June we had no idea how long we would be traveling. Therefore, we had disposed of the blatters in our waterbeds, which can't be stored for long periods. So, even though we had all our furniture, we still had no beds.
On Saturday our new Sleep Number bed was delivered and installed. So we finally spent our first night in the house on Saturday, November 20.
On Tuesday, November 23, we took off with just our truck to drive back to Virginia, some 1,600 miles. We had ordered a new Ford 2011, F250 before we began our trek in July. It had come in to the dealership in Luray, Virginia and we needed to trade in our old truck and get the new one. Also we wanted to visit friends and pick up computer equipment from our friend in Falls Church, Virginia, who had been hosting our server since we left.
We spent a bit more than a week in the east before heading back. We finally arrived in Castle Rock this last Monday, December 6, 2010 and we consider this to be our official move in date.
With all this, more unpacking, and Frank trying to get computers, webcams and networks up and running, we have just not had the time, energy or motivation to work on a daily log.
This will most likely be our last travelogue entry for some time. We have so much we want to do with the house that we will probably not take off again until sometime next summer.
As time has been short, we have obviously not had time to do our regular Christmas Holiday CD, but never fear, one will be coming as a New Year's CD sometime in January or February.
Again we apologize for such a delay on any updates. To everyone out there, have a happy holiday season and the best new year.
Frank and Tom

In marketing your old house, you could have three choices. Traditionally, we often seek the assistance of a real estate broker that could have your property listed up for sale. There are three troubles with this concept.
One, they can not ensure you of when your home or business will certainly obtain marketed, therefore leaving you an unsure waiting time without warranty. Second, if the house is too old as well as need huge repair services as well as not that presentable, your real estate broker might have a hard time selling it as no person will quickly obtain interested. Once again, afterward lost. Third, if your house obtains sold, a part of the sale will certainly need to go to the broker, therefore, leaving you with less revenue on offer.
An additional alternative for you is to sell your house all on your own. You could upload it on the internet yourself, on newspapers, or get leads from loved ones for possible purchasers. Once again, this could be fairly difficult as well as it will doubt about when your house will obtain sold. Another thing is it will certainly be once again tough for you to sell an old, unattractive residence that still needs repairs. On top of that, it may also be pricey on your part especially if you will need to have it published in newspapers and so forth.
Your 3rd alternative will certainly be to seek the help of "we buy houses" investors. There are lots of "we buy houses" capitalists around Virginia that you could get in touch with. These investors remain in the business of buying houses whatever the condition is for as long as they can acquire it at a low cost. They will take care of all the repair services and gain benefit from it by marketing it.
You can discover a listing these capitalists from your regional newspaper. They normally contain advertisements of "we buy houses" companies that agree to invest in your home, improve it through restorations as well as repair services, as well as resell it. That is exactly how their service goes. For that reason, you can capitalize on that by providing you're the home of them for potential closing. Take advantage of this opportunity but keep in mind additionally to earn your research study to make sure that your investment is on a legitimate organization as well as to ensure yourself that there will certainly be no worry in the future.
With these possibilities, you are almost certain that you have a customer for your residence. The benefit is, you get to sell your house promptly, will not have to bear repair work as well as renovations, and seal the deal fast with less time and expense lost.

Pineau de Re wins the 2014 Crabbie's Grand National to send the bookmakers into rapture as an outsider takes the title for the second year in a row.
When it comes to win-wins the 2014 Crabbie's Grand National was a wonderful case in point for so many.
The first £1m Grand National created a nice windfall for the Pineau de Re owner Dr. Richard Newland; the 25/1 odds meant the UK bookmakers could breath a collective sigh of relief, and all 40 horses and jockeys survived the day with just bodily and prideful bruises for show.
Things didn't start well for the 167th Grand National as a false start brought memories of the 1993 'race that never was' flooding back, and 39 of the 40 jockeys refused to attend a stewards' inquiry into the incident in an unprecedented show of loyalty amongst the little men.
Once the race got underway the world once again got to see why it is the toughest race there is after only 18 of the original starting compliment of 40 horses made it over the 30-jumps and passed the finished line.
Fortunately, for the UK bookmakers the unfancied French-bred and British trained Pineau de Re managed to hold off the much fancied Balthazar King (2nd), and Double Seven (3rd). Alvarado (4th) and Rocky Creek (5th) finished off the placing's.
It was a remarkable achievement for the jockey, Leighton Aspinall, who was only given the ride after the original jockey Sam Twiston-Davies opted to ride Tidal Bay.
It was a sweet moment for the man who retired in 2007, only to return in 2009, and came so close to Grand National success in 2003 when he finished second on Supreme Glory.
It's the second year on the trot that the UK bookmakers have had a smile on their faces after Auroras Encore took the 2013 race at odds of 66/1.

Emmanuel Has Come- a Devotion (4/4)
"O come, O come, Emmanuel, and ransom captive Israel, that mourns in lonely exile here until the Son of God appear. Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee O Israel!"
Each Advent season, these words are sung in churches around the nation and likely, in some form, around the globe. They are words of hope and longing. They are words of expectation and yet to be fulfilled promise. They are words that capture, very well, the mood of the Israelite people at the time of the incarnation. There was longing and pain, yet there was hope.
I don't know that we could fully grasp the frame of mind of the Israelites at the time of Jesus's coming. They were a people who for centuries had sat under the rule of other nations. They had been oppressed for centuries and had endured the pain and sorrow resultant from their own sinful disregard for the Lord. And yet, while this likely weighed heavy on their hearts, still there was hope. God had been silent for a long time. Yet still there was hope.
We spend much of this season each year in a mode of hopeful anticipation, always waiting for what's next. We wait for the parties. We wait for the gifts. Excitement builds as we look forward to opportunities for creating new memories with our families, memories we hope will be with us for a lifetime. And for some of us, we simply wait in hopeful anticipation for the season to be all over so we can get back to everyday life. Advent is a season driven by the anticipation of what's next.
At the time of the birth of Jesus, hopeful anticipation was in the air as the people awaited the coming of the promised Messiah. Through centuries of silence they waited on an ancient promise of God that was yet to be fulfilled. But in a single moment, through a single birth, this hopeful anticipation turned into a divine reality. This birth is recorded in Luke chapter 2, both simply and directly. "She gave birth to her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths and laid him in a manger, because there was no place for them in the inn." (Luke 2:7, ESV)
This, in so many ways, seems like a relatively ordinary beginning for something so extraordinary. A child is born. This is something that happens all over the world every day. Making it perhaps even more lackluster (at least on the surface) is the setting, a manger, because there was no room at the inn. But on this night, this ordinary woman in this humble place gave birth to the extraordinary. In that night, hope had come.
Hindsight can be both a blessing and a curse. It can be a blessing because it gives us the opportunity to look back on things and see them as they really were, giving us the complete picture that we may have missed in the moment. It can be a curse because gaining that complete picture may help us to better understand just how blind we were to have missed what was happening in the moment. There are many who we read about in the gospels who would have benefited from being able to look back on the significance of that night so they could more fully understand the events of that time. During this blessed child's time on earth he was misunderstood, mocked, and challenged. He was beaten executed. There were many who simply had no idea what was right in front of their eyes. They simply had no idea that the subject of centuries of hopeful anticipation was standing right in front of them. Without the benefit of hindsight, they missed the divine truth before them . . . Emmanuel had come.
Because on that night, as illustrated in Paul's letter to the Philippians, God the Son "emptied himself, by taking the form of a servant, being born in the likeness of men." (Philippians 2:7, ESV) John's gospel puts it this way: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth." (John 1:14, ESV) Hope had come. Emmanuel had come.
Now, here we are, approximately two millennia later. We've had two thousand years to process this unique period of history. We have records of this extraordinary time; inspired records giving us all that God would have us to know about that time when He was with us . . . visibly, audibly, with us. We live in a unique time. Because as we gaze back to His first advent, processing that short time in history where He appeared, "full of grace and truth," we wait in hopeful anticipation ourselves as well.
You see, we can look back and revel in the fact that he took our sin and gave us His righteousness. We can look back and revel in the fact that He has taught us how to live out the Kingdom here on earth. Ultimately, we can look back and see that God's promise had been fulfilled. But much like the Israelites, we await the fulfillment of a promise as well. We await the promise of His Second Coming, that great and glorious day when the Son of Man will "come on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory." (Matthew 24:30, ESV) Yes. Emmanuel has come. We celebrate that amazing moment in history during this Advent season. But we celebrate as we wait for yet another promise of God to be fulfilled. Emmanuel has come and He's coming again. To God be the glory! Amen.

February & March
It is time to apply a pre-emergent herbicide to reduce summer weeds from germinating. This is especially important if you were bothered by sandburs and/or crabgrass. Halt, Dimension, Crabgrass Preventer, Amaze and XL are good herbicides for the job. Note that a second application should be applied in mid-June. To be ready for the hot weather when it arrives, call in your irrigation contractor to check out and repair your system. Make sure the rain sensor is working and all leaks are repaired. Have him/her instruct you how to change the watering amounts if necessary. Have your mower sharpened and the engine tuned up. Mow in March to keep the lawn weeds in check.
Mowing starts in earnest this month. Mow Fescue at 3 inches tall, Bermuda at 1.5 inches, and zoysia at 2 inches tall. Mow frequently enough that only one-third of the grass blade is removed at every mowing. Once per week is usually sufficient.
After you have mowed lawn two times, it is time to fertilize the lawn. Use slow release lawn fertilizer. The first number is the percentage of nitrogen. Apply one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. If the fertilizer has a 19-5-9 formula, that means about 5 pounds of fertilizer per 1,000 square feet. The bag will tell you what rate to set the spreader to achieve the pounds of nitrogen.
Weekly watering recommendation depends on the type of grass you have. Fescue needs 1.5″ to 2″ of water per week. Zoysia grass wil require less watering about 1″ to 1.t" per week. Bermuda grass needs about 1″ per week. Some helpful hints: water in early morning hours and for best results, spread your watering out to two – three timees per week to the amount mentioned above for your type of grass. The winter weeds are trying to go to seed before the heat kills them. Keep the lawn mowed every week to reduce production of the weed seeds for next winter.
It is time to apply a soil insecticide if your lawn was attacked by grubs last year. The same insecticide will also control chinch bugs.
Watering is the key. Apply the published recommendation each week. For especially hot areas such as along the sidewalk that seem to dry out, give them a little extra water by handheld hose.
Chinch bugs will make your lawn look moth eaten. The damage usually appears on the hottest part of the lawn. The lawn drying out will cause a similar symptom. Hand water the spots every day for 2 or 3 days. If the area does not green-up it is probably caused by chinch bugs. Apply a soil insecticide.
Apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent winter weeds. Check the label to make sure the weeds you had last year in your yard are on the label. Rescue grass, bedstraw, dandelions, thistle, henbit and annual bluegrass are common. Discontinue watering in the mornings and let the lawn go a little dry in order to prevent brown patch fungus. If it appears anyway apply a treatment of a labeled soil fungicide.
The lawn has switched to its autumn growth mode so it is time to apply a winterizer fertilizer. Again, apply one pound of nitrogen per 1,000 square feet. The fertilizer will be utilized by the lawn for winter hardiness and a fast green-up in the spring.
November, December, January
Switch to a winter irrigation regime. Water every 2 weeks if it does not rain from now until May. You should only have to mow every few weeks to control winter weeds.

Storytelling on the Fly
I hosted and performed in two storytelling shows in September, the second one approximately ten days after the first one. In addition, my company, Better Said Than Done, (aka me) put together and promoted the shows, so it was a busy two weeks for me. That is, of course, in addition to working a real job and taking care of a toddler.
Why, you might ask, should we care? Well, all that is by way of saying, I never really had the chance to write the second story out. When I perform in a storytelling show, I have one of two ways of preparing. The one I do most often is to write out my story, read it out loud, edit it, read it out loud, edit it, and eventually memorize it through repetition. That process allows me to really perfect the story.
But for this performance, I went with option two – saying the story out loud to myself, thinking about what worked and what didn't, and speaking it a few more times, trying to work it out in my mind before the show. This method has a couple of advantages. Firstly, there's a lot less preparation. Since it's not word for word memorization, and since there is no time spent writing things down, it takes up less than half the time as the first method. Also, it does create a more conversational sounding performance, more like I am just telling you a story rather than performing something scripted.
Here's the story I told a week or so ago about my little bear:
The downside of method two is that it isn't "perfect." When I do write out and memorize word for word, there are no "ums" in my story. I do not repeat the same word several times or fumble around for a good way of phrasing something. I can play word games with how something is stated exactly early on in the story and how it is stated slightly differently later in the story. It gives you more options as a writer, or crafter of a story, if you write it all out.
By contrast, here's a story about my little bear that I wrote out and memorized word for word:
With writing and memorizing word for word, you can sound a bit over prepared. Also, it is much easier to lose your place and much harder to cover it up if you do. When every word is perfect, having a few words not perfect really stands out.
There are good and bad qualities to both methods of preparing for a storytelling show. The good news is, our October storytelling show is improvisational storytelling – so there is absolutely no preparation of any kind! Hope to see you there.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

I haven't really been using this site to promote the nine million storytelling things I have going on at any given time, but September is filled with a lot of great stuff, (and a lot of it's free!) so figured I might as well share. Here's what I will be up to this month. Hope to see you at one or all of these events.

Not so much an ending…
A while back I posted about how the end was nigh – meaning the end of my writing career as I knew it. I was referring to the fact that I was about to have a baby. While it is true that all of my free time, and most of my quality sleep time, have vanished, all is not lost.
I was afraid for my writing career on two fronts. First, the lack of time. And yeah, that part I am still trying to work out. Secondly, that I would become one of those people who could only talk about their kids and that there'd be no more creative storytelling. I mean, seriously, you can only tell so many "my kid is a genius" stories before people start to get bored.
Happily, I believe, I have not completely dried up on original storytelling. Of course, my novel is pure fiction and has very little, if anything, to do with babies. Then, I just told a true, personal story for Better Said Than Done a few nights ago that also had nothing to do with babies, or at least, actual babies. (It was about a guy I dated who was a child in his own right, but old enough to feed himself and not need diapers.) So, it seems, I can keep mining those classic life events.
But I have told two baby stories, I must confess. My hope is that I have found ways to make potentially stale, overused, material seem fresh.
My first post baby, baby story was actually about breastfeeding, and how it doesn't quite stand up to all the wonderful descriptions of it they sell you in the baby books. My follow up story was about my pregnancy, and how that was a bit of a nightmare for me, in what I am pretty sure was an unique experience. Both stories went over very well with the live audiences, and have been viewed quite a bit online. (At least as compared to my other stories)
Maybe telling stories about a huge, life changing experience that happens to be shared by a lot of people isn't the worst thing you could do. Maybe I'll even tell a few more. In fact, I have been working on this great one about how my baby is a genius!Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 2 so far )
Back in the Storytelling Saddle Again
Well, I survived. I had a baby and then my life ended, for a little while, and then I started to get it back.
Two weeks ago, I think, (can't keep track of time these days) I returned to storytelling in a big way. Basically, all in the same week my baby girl turned two months old (and I have been a stay at home mommy during these months) I had a panel discussion on storytelling at George Mason University, a storytelling show at the Auld Shebeen in Fairfax, a storytelling workshop at the Workhouse Arts Center and another storytelling show at the Reston Nature House. Phew.
It felt good to be back out there doing grown-up stuff, and was also one of the stupidest things I have ever done. I planned it all before my baby came into the world, not realizing that babies really do keep you very busy. Meaning, I had very little time to write and memorize two stories, pull a cast together for two shows, prepare all the materials for a new workshop, and then make arrangements to go to all those events.
But I survived that week as well. I wouldn't say I told the best stories of my career, but I wasn't booed off either stage – which is always a good sign. I had enough storytellers to fill the bill for both shows. The panel discussion at George Mason was awesome and well attended. And the workshop was a lot of fun.
I would write more about the whole experience but I hear my baby girl grunting, which means I have just enough time to post this before she starts crying. Sigh. Back to work!Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
I'm back
Crazy times. Having a baby is exhausting and, man, is it ever time consuming! But I have managed to line up a few activities to get back into writing and storytelling. Unfortunately, they are all in the same week.
This week, I am going to be in storytelling shows, teaching a storytelling workshop, and participating in a panel discussion on storytelling. Check out this impressive list of activities!

Storytelling Teacher, nay, Coach
I am so behind on blogging. The good news is, it's because I have been so busy! I have been writing, and working, and storytelling. Lots of storytelling.
I am going to, in the next few days, I think, get around to sharing videos and notes from my last few storytelling shows, but wanted to take a moment to talk about what I will be busy with next Saturday – teaching. Specifically, teaching storytelling.
My storytelling company, Better Said Than Done, has been offering storytelling workshops for over a year now. I do share the responsibility of teaching with three other wonderful storytellers, so haven't lead every workshop, but have been involved in quite a few at this point and I love it.
One of my students said to me, "You are not really teaching so much as coaching" and I thought that sounded perfect. In our workshops, we do offer notes on structure, tips on character building, and general guidance from our years as writers and storytellers, but a big part of what we do is listen to the students, listen to their stories, and then help them figure out what they are trying to say. It's the part I love best, because it is always new and exciting, especially for the students, who get to have that "aha moment" when it finally clicks – "that's what I meant!"
You don't always get those moments, on your own, as a writer. So it's nice to help others find those moments. It's great to help people discover something that might have taken them a long time to figure out or that maybe they would have otherwise missed.
I am teaching one more workshop, on May 11th, before I take a break to deal with having a baby, and other pressing matters. I already have a four week workshop lined up for September, and am excited for that to start. I am sure the newborn, due August 1st, will be able to take care of herself by then.
If interested in signing up for my last storytelling workshop for a while, read more about it here. And hurry up and register, because it's less than a week away!Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
Merry Christmas Story
Better Said Than Done just had our last storytelling show of the year, and it was a holiday theme – "Holiday Cheer." I chose to do a story about Christmas because I find myself thinking a lot, these days, about what Christmas used to mean to me, and how that's changed over the years.
Here's my story. Hope you enjoy my take on the meaning of Christmas.
And a Happy New Year!Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )
30 Minutes Down
Last night I performed a 30 minute story at my friend Ellouise Schoettler's show "Tales in the Village." The show is monthly and is hosted at the Friendship Heights Community Center.
The reason last night is remarkable is that I have never told a 30 minute story before. I have told stories for 30 minutes, at another "Tales in the Village" event, but this was the first time I wrote, memorized, and told one story that was 30 minutes long. It was a lot of work!
I think, overall, the performance went well. There was a bit of distraction in the first few minutes when one of the audience members started complaining that he couldn't hear. It was a small room, so we had decided not to use the microphone, but as the gentleman persisted, repeatedly, in telling me to be louder, I did eventually grab the mic.
I won't lie, I had a little heart attack during all that. I have performed over 25 times so at this point I have experienced cell phones, sneezes, people (more…)Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( 2 so far )
Storytelling Interview
I got interviewed, for the second time, by the talented and lovely storyteller Ellouise Schoettler on her TV Show "Stories in Focus." Ellouise and I discussed storytelling, I performed a story into the camera (which is so hard to do!) and then we talked a bit about storytelling business. You can watch the whole interview here.
And just because I never shared it before, here is the video of the first time I appeared on Ellouise's show, about a year ago.Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )

The Dubai desert safari tour
We decided to book a Dubai desert safari tour for one day within our 2 nights of Dubai stay. Back in Germany we already booked the tour online. Payment was in Euro and after finishing the whole tour in Dubai. There are plenty offers of all kind of desert safari tours, starting at 30 euros, you can check out the german link here. For us it was important that we will get a picture with a flacon on the arm. After all though we didn't get the chance for it. But we got so many other impressions that we didn't even notice, only later when we were back in the hotel we asked ourself: where was the falcon we got promised ? haha
Starting the desert safari tour
Our driver picked us up at our hotel. We extra booked a tour without so many other cars, so we only were 5 people and the tour guide. The tour guide was friendly, almost to friendly. He totally hit on my friend and when he found out she was not interested he startet hitting on me. We didn't tell him that we both are gay because you never know how people react in a islamic state. Later on he even got really touchy that i had to give him a speech that he has to stop that. It worked but we could see that his mood was getting a bid worse.
The first stop of the desert safari tour
After picking up the other german clients we drove off to our first stop. That was where the tires need to get flattened to let out the air pressure. At that stop you could by some souvenirs and also drive the squads, which usually is not included in the safari tours. The guide was asking us if we want to ride with him for free so i did. 🙂
It was my first time on a squad but i really enjoyed it, even though the motor dust was hitting on my leg which burned terribly. At first i thought it was the hot sun because we had over 40 ° Celsius.
Second stop
Next on the agenda was the dune drifting with our SUV. The driver was really skilled i must say. It is not easy i would say to do all that driving. The more you sit in the back of the car the faster you become sick. We were sitting in the middle so there was only one certain point i really had to say please slow down a bid, no more bumps for me. But that was the good thing, he would adjust his driving to our needs. And don't drink to much water before that. You will have plenty time for that late even though you really get thirsty after taking some beautiful pictures of the sunset and trying some sand boarding with a snowboard haha. When your stomach is to full then you will probably puke.
Third Stop
The last stop at our Dubai desert safari was the nomad camp. They build them extra for tourist, so it is more the flair under the desert sky you will enjoy than the original historical point you might think of at first. They serve a splendid barbecue and have live acts like bellydancers and fire eater. The belly dancer we had for example was a brazilian girl. She was great. But no locals would do that of course. Everything is included even a ride on a dromedary. I felt sorry for the poor creature who always had to kneel down and go up every 3 minutes. The ride was only a short round and you could see that it was exhausted and needed some rest. So you might want to skip that part.
We got back in the evening and enjoyed that trip a lot. You get a lot for your money and it is something i could always recommend as a day trip when you stay in Dubai. If you are interested in another Dubai Belivo story then click here.

Executive Councilor Regina Ip said giving food and transport allowance to participants in Sunday's anti-Occupy Central march was understandable, government broadcaster RTHK reported Monday.
"It's not easy to encourage citizens to attend the march given such hot weather. Some live far from downtown, so it's understandable that they were given travel allowance," Ip said.
She said it's not surprising to have many people gather in a certain place to have lunch. "It's just like gathering people before a picnic."
She was reacting to claims that organizers gave the marchers free lunch and even brought them to restaurants.
Estimates of the turnout varied from 80,000 to 190,000, according to reports, citing academics, organizers and the police.
Police put attendance at 111,000 compared with their estimate of 98,600 for the pro-democracy march on July 1. The University of Hong Kong Public Opinion Program put the number between 79,000 and 88,000.
"We respect the estimate provided by the police but we are skeptical about the HKU figure which has a big gap with both estimates," said Brave Chan Yung, a spokesman for the march organizers.
Chan said they have investigated reports some marchers were paid off and found the allegations were intended to disparage the march.
"We don't think it's possible to buy anyone with several hundred dollars," he said. "Someone must have set things up."
Starry Lee, a lawmaker from the Democratic Alliance for the Betterment and Progress of Hong Kong, said the rally was the biggest in 10 years, showing Hong Kong people won't tolerate Occupy Central, the report said.
Meanwhile, 23 pan-democratic lawmakers joined the three organizers of Occupy Central, Anson Chan Fang On-sang and some student groups in full-page advertisements in three newspapers, saying only true universal suffrage will save Hong Kong and the next generation.

The Sith battle suit was a remarkably flexible medium combat suit that was manufactured by Aratech Repulsor Company in the wake of the Jedi Civil War. The name was inspired, not developed, by the actual Sith Empire; Aratech hoped to profit from the organization's fame. This type of armor was white and black in appearance and provided a significant amount of protection while retaining a rather high level of flexibility when compared to other armors of that weight class.
Meetra Surik, or members of her party, may have acquired and utilized Sith battle suits during the First Jedi Purge.

This section of the book is from the "Wild Flowers Worth Knowing" book, by Neltje Blanchan. Also available from Amazon: Wild Flowers Worth Knowing
PARSLEY FAMILY - Umbelliferae: Wild Carrot; Queen Anne's Lace; Bird's-nest
Daucus Carota
Flowers--Small, of unequal sizes (polygamous), white, rarely pinkish gray, 5-parted, in a compound, flat, circular, umbel, the central floret often dark crimson; the umbels very concave in fruit. An involucre of narrow, pinnately cut bracts. Stem: 1 to 3 ft. high, with stiff hairs; from a deep, fleshy, conic root. Leaves: Cut into fine, fringy divisions; upper ones smaller and less dissected.
Preferred Habitat--Waste lands, fields, roadsides.
Flowering Season--June-September.
Distribution--Eastern half of United States and Canada. Europe and Asia.
A pest to farmers, a joy to the flower-lover, and a welcome signal for refreshment to hosts of flies, beetles, bees, and wasps, especially to the paper-nest builders, the sprangly wild carrot lifts its fringy foliage and exquisite lacy blossoms above the dry soil of three continents. From Europe it has come to spread its delicate wheels over our summer landscape, until whole fields are whitened by them east of the Mississippi. Having proved fittest in the struggle for survival in the fiercer competition of plants in the over-cultivated Old World, it takes its course of empire westward year by year, finding most favorable conditions for colonizing in our vast, uncultivated area; and the less aggressive, native occupants of our soil are only too readily crowded out. Would that the advocates of unrestricted immigration of foreign peasants studied the parallel examples among floral invaders!
Still another fiction is that the cultivated carrot, introduced to England by the Dutch in Queen Elizabeth's reign, was derived from this wild species. Miller, the celebrated English botanist and gardener, among many others, has disproved this statement by utterly failing again and again to produce an edible vegetable from this wild root. When cultivation of the garden carrot lapses for a few generations, it reverts to the ancestral type--a species quite distinct from Daucus Carota.

In episode 94 of the show "Knowing Brother", BTS was invited to the show and left a long-lasting impression. That is "opening candy bag" challenge between Jin and the main cast.
Jin easily opened each pack of candy in a few second and defeated Kim Young Chul, Lee Soo Geun, Lee Sang Min and Kang Ho Dong. In particular, in the game with Kang Ho Dong, Jin gently opened the package without making any noise, which made Ho Dong mistakenly that he had won.

Whitney Shashou, Founder & President
Whitney graduated magna cum laude from the University of Pennsylvania, where she earned a B.A. in Urban Studies with a concentration in Urban Education. She received her Master's in Teaching from Relay Graduate School of Education and is an Associate Member of the Independent Educational Consultants Association (IECA) as well as the Small Boarding School Association (SBSA). She also has past experience as a formal classroom teacher, curriculum developer, middle school program director and high school placement director at a non-profit in New York.
As the founder and president of Admit NY, Whitney uses her expertise to facilitate the school admissions process, helping each child identify and gain admission to his or her best-fit school. Whitney founded Admit NY to be a reliable resource for families, providing full-time professional support, streamlining the application process and alleviating the stress many parents and children experience as they navigate school admissions. Whitney offers her families deep insight into the school landscape and the admissions cycle itself, and with this competitive advantage, her students have had incredible success with acceptances to their top choice institutions.
Whitney started her career in education by working as a part-time public school teacher in West Philadelphia while also overseeing an academic program that provided small group and individualized reading and literacy instruction for low-performing elementary school students. In 2011, she developed and taught the curriculum for the 8th-grade writing course at Breakthrough New York, a college-access non-profit based in New York City. She subsequently taught English at an underserved high school in Cape Town, South Africa and volunteered as an elementary school teacher at an orphanage in Khayelitsha, considered one of the largest and fastest growing townships in South Africa. In 2012, Whitney joined Teach for America as a 4th grade classroom teacher and a 4th grade writing curriculum developer at Achievement First in Brownsville, Brooklyn. Following these experiences, Whitney returned to Breakthrough New York, where she first became the Middle School Program Director and then, the High School Placement Director. She managed program curriculum development, teacher training development and execution, student data analysis, student recruitment and admissions, seasonal staff recruitment and hiring, and high school placement. In this capacity, she was responsible for planning, leading and overseeing high school placement for 65 + students and she increased independent school acceptances by 54%, ensuring that 100% of 8th grade students matriculated to college-prep high schools across the country. Whitney served as the primary contact for over 100 independent day and boarding schools, deepening those relationships while learning the ins-and-outs of each school's community, academic program, and unique admissions policies.

She also became an expert on the process of evaluating a schools methodology, academic rigor and ethos, after going thru the process with her own children.
Having realized her passion and vocation were in schools and admissions, Taryn joined the Avenues school as the Admissions Data Manager. She was responsible for processing over 1,200 applications and establishing relationships with feeder schools. She ensured each family had an enjoyable and positive experience as they navigated the stressful journey of identifying a school that is the right match for their child.

Danger Will Robinson! Netflix has a new binge-worthy series: Lost In Space. I love the modernization of the classic story, its deeper narratives, the bigger cast of characters, and of course the robot. Some critics have written that Netflix's reboot of Lost in Space gave up something essential in the serialization of the story. We now consume television series, not in episodes, but in entire series:
Netflix: Are you still watching?
Me: Continue Watching
Yes, continue watching. I must continue until it's done.
In fact, I would argue that binge-watching series is a new genre and that viewers aren't really supposed to watch just one episode. You can, but really, why would you? It's created to be consumed all at once, over a weekend, while consuming unhealthy food.
Writers break novels into chapters, but are you really supposed to stop at each one? No. When the book's really good, you plow through from front to back without stopping. In fact, that's why I don't do well reading books in series either. I wait until the author publishes the whole collection so I can binge all of them in one group.
After the binge comes the bloat. All that television (and perhaps snacking)… and what am I supposed to watch now? Does anyone have any recommendations? Maybe I should do a little writing now. That's what writers are supposed to do: watch less TV, write more, and read more.
Oh wait, Netflix has a new recommendation for me!
What are your thoughts? Like or share your thoughts. I especially love Netflix recommendations.

What is ERECTILE DYSFUNCTION ?
What is Erectile Dysfunction (ED)?
Impotence is the inability to achieve or to sustain an erection adequate for sexual intercourse. ED (erectile dysfunction) is a common, treatable condition and its incidence increases with age.
Psychological causes of impotence include:
- stress and anxiety from work or home.
- worry about poor sexual performance.
- martial discord.
- unresolved sexual orientation.
- depression.
Other causes are due to defective blood flow or nerve function to the penis.
How can couples work together?
Couples need to communicate openly and honestly with each other. Most importantly, couples need to confront any concerns they may have about ED by discussing their feelings and reassuring each other that they still care. Couples need to maintain this communication throughout the treatment process.
Risk factors for ED?
- Age above 50 years.
- Diabetes.
- Hypertension.
- Dyslipidemia (high cholesterol).
- Smoking.
- Heart disease.
What can be done for ED?
- Changing habits and medications
Quitting smoking and changing prescriptions medications may help address the condition.
- Hormone medications
Only five percent erectile dysfunction cases are caused by irregular levels of sex hormones, such as a low levels of testosterone or excess estrogen. There are medications to restore this balance.
- Professional counselling
Because impotence can often result from a combination of psychological and physical factors, counselling can lessen anxiety. This therapy is often used in combination with other treatments directed by a physician.
- Oral medication
Yohimbine occurs naturally in the bark of evergreen trees and has been used as an aphrodisiac for centuries by Indians and Africans. It is believed that the drug works by enhancing nerve sensitivity in the penis. While there have been no large-scale studies to prove the drug's effectiveness, a small percentage of men report it to be helpful for erectile dysfunction.
- Drugs like Sildenafil citrate (Viagra) has been introduced which acts to increase nitric oxide levels and other primary mediators of erection. Studies to suggest drug is effective in selected group of patients. However drug has to be used under medical supervision as it has been found to have known interactions with other drugs and should be used with caution in cardiac patients.
- Vacuum Therapy
This will enable erection by increased blood flow to the penis through negative pressure suction generated by the device. This will enable the patient to obtain penile enlargement and rigidity for sexual intercourse.
- Injection Therapy
One of the newest forms of treatment involves the self-injection of a certain medication into the side of the penis. The relatively painless injection produces erections of good quality in about 70-80 percent of patients.
- Surgical Treatment
This treatment is usually reserved for those patients whose blood flow has been blocked by an injury to the penis or pelvic area. The goal of this treatment is to correct the blockage of blood flow to the penis so that erections will occur naturally.
- Penile prostheses
This treatment involves the surgical placement of a device into the two sides of the penis, allowing erections as often as desired. These implants come in two forms; an inflatable device and semi-rigid rods. This treatment is recommended only after discussing with the patient all other available options. Prosthesis is a long-term solution, which is offered after careful consideration and discussion with the patient.
The good news for many men and their partners is that erectile dysfunction can usually be treated safely and effectively. In the light of recent medical advances, men no longer need to suffer from erectile dysfunction in silence nor must their impotency be a dividing force in their relationships. Most importantly, couples can now fully enjoy the enriching and exhilarating joy of intimate sexual contact.

Polenta Torta
Frankly, this isn't an outstanding recipe - the tomato sauce & cheese are so common & predictable - but the technique of layering polenta with sauce & cheese makes this worth learning. You can add spices & vegetables to the polenta & change up the layers with a variety of sauces.
Polenta Torta
4 cups soft polenta
2 cups tomato sauce
1 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 pound fresh mozzarella (about 2 medium balls), sliced 1/4-inch thick (in the video, I shred the fresh cheese)
It helps a lot if you oil the your dish, so be sure to do that first. You also need to be discerning with which dish you use - it can't be too wide or too shallow, or else the ingredients won't fit. In the video, I'm making half a recipe, & you can get an idea of how small of a dish I'm using.
Ladle 1 1/3 cups of soft polenta & gently spread it out with a silicon brush. Spread 1 cup of tomato sauce over the polenta. On top of the tomato sauce, arrange half of the mozzarella slices (or shreds). Sprinkle with half the grated Parmesan cheese.
Ladle over another 1 1/3 cups polenta, spread on the rest of the tomato sauce, layer on the rest of the mozzarella & Parmesan cheese. Ladle over the remaining 1 1/3 cups of polenta & allow the torta to sit for at least 30 minutes before baking to allow the polenta to set. Fifteen minutes before baking, preheat the overn to 350 degrees F. Bake until hot and bubbling, about 30 minutes.
- Layer cooked greens over each layer of grated Parmesan cheese
- Make the torta with firm polenta, cutting pieces to fit the pan and layering as above.
- Stir 2 cups cooked vegetables (greens, dried beans, or corn, for example) into the polenta itself and layer as above with sauce and cheese.
- Use 1 cup of pesto instead of, or in addition to, the tomato sauce.
- Use 1 cup grated fontina cheese instead of mozzarella.
- Use 2 cups Bolognese sauce or mushroom ragù instead of tomato sauce (or Lamb Ragout)
4 cups water and/or stock
1 cup polenta (coarse or medium-ground)
1 teaspoon salt
3 tablespoons butter or olive oil
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Boil water &/or stock in a heavy-bottomed pot & whisk in all the polenta & salt, pouring in a little at a time while stirring. Turn down the heat and stir constantly until the polenta is suspended in the water and no longer settles to the bottom of the pot. Cook until it reaches the consistency you desire (or per the directions on the bag).
Before serving, stir in butter & cheese, taste, & add salt if needed. Be careful when tasting polenta - it is very hot.

This is a modern twist on the old nursery classic- cottage pie- and its a great dish if you are feeding the whole family as its delicious for all ages and packed full of flavour and veggies- young children particularly like having it served up in individual dishes (as pictured below) but if you don't have any then you can easily just layer it up in a medium-sized ovenproof dish or blitz it all down for babies who aren't quite ready for texture.
Serves 2 adults and 1-2 small children
2 tbsp olive oil
250g lean beef mince
180g red onion, diced
150g carrot, roughly grated
3 cloves garlic, crushed
6 tbsp tomato passata
2 tbsp tomato puree
2 tsp balsamic vinegar
1/2 tsp Worchester sauce, optional
200ml vegetable stock or water
275g sweet potato (peeled weight), cut into 1-cm dice
15g cheddar cheese, grated
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a medium ovenproof dish with a heavy bottom (I use a shallow Le Creuset) and over a high heat brown the mince. Remove with a slotted spoon and leave any residual oil. Add the final 1 tbsp olive oil and the onion. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently to prevent it catching. Add the carrot, garlic, passata, tomato puree, balsamic and, if using, the Worchester sauce and cook for a further 5 minutes. Return the mince to the pan along, with the stock, and bring to the boil. Cover with a lid and allow it to cook for 25-30 minutes by which time it should have reduced slightly and have a wonderfully meaty flavour. Meanwhile, steam or boil the sweet potato cubes for 15 minutes or until tender.
Once everything is ready scatter the sweet potato cubes over the mince, followed by the cheese and place under the grill for 8-10 minutes or until bubbling.
For early weaning: mix everything together and blitz down to a manageable consistency before freezing into individual portions.
For freezing: allow the mince to cool before portioning up and scattering over the potato and cheese
Just for adults? add 1/2 tsp salt to the mince

I'd Like to Fly Free
Young woman, age 15
I would like to be free like a dove, to admire from the sky what God has created for us, to fly over the immense ocean, fly free is what I want, to leave these walls and fly towards where the wind carries me. I feel like I am a caged bird whose Kings have been cut. There are moments where I am forgotten and I try to call attention to myself so they remember that I exist. There are moments in which I can't go on and I feel like in this dark tunnel there can't be Light at the end, but time passes and I will never lose hope to someday be able to fly free and be able to fly off course. When will the day come in which I can break these chains and cross these barriers that keep me from moving forward. I just want to fly free…
