Yoga & the F Word
Yes, you read that right. The title of this blog is yoga and the F WORD! Seems crazy that the two should go together at all but apparently it's a new trend in yoga classes.
When I was away on retreat back in February I had a wonderful conversation with two lovely yoga teachers after dinner and this topic came up. One of the teachers described several recent classes where a teacher had yelled FUCK right in the middle of the class. She was horrified and so was the person she was with. They found it a huge turn off. Read more →


text: Most of the Dulux and all of the stickers and fixings are off now and tomorrow I've got some special paint stripper arriving that won't harm the fibreglass to get the last remaining bits off. Then it's a case of rubbing down, repairing, priming and painting. To save money I'm going to hand paint it again but this time will give myself more time and will rub down between coats. No runs this time and no stickers next year and definitely no gorilla tape which was a right pain to remove.

Welcome to my stop on the Ruffles blog hop tour – if you are a regular visitor you will know I have a bit of a passion for upcycling, and bags. So it will be no surprise to you that I have created a bag out of my brothers former jumper. Very sadly this high quality, rather large but extremely useful pass me down jumper accidentally went in the wash!
The jumper felted in the washing machine. I paired it with a vibrant turquoise scarf from the local jumble sale, no expense spared for this bag (20p)
I added medium weight interfacing (from my stash) to the rather flimsy scarf, and added an internal pocket, to create the bags lining.
Adding the lining and turning round the corners was a little trickier than I anticipated, whether this was because it was the first time I had turned in lining round corners, or because of the fabric I don't know.
The black ruffle is made from one of the sleeves hand stitched on, with a longer piece of scarf ruffled in the middle.
I followed the directions over at Not dabbling in normal for creating the bag, I have to admit I must have pinned this project well over a year ago. I am delighted the ruffle hop finally meant I made the bag. I am looking forward to using the bag to take supplies to my local craft group, it's surprising just how roomy a jumper bag is:)
Please do stop by the other blogs taking part, todays stops are:

Community-SUpported Seafood Shares
C.S.S. Shares
Inspired by Community-Supported Agriculture (C.S.A.) shares offered by local farms, Silver Wave Seafood Co. is modeled after a similar concept with Community-Supported Seafood (C.S.S.) shares. Silver Wave is your local fisherman offering "shares" of the wild Alaskan catch from our boat to your table, once a year at the end of the summer season.
As you can imagine, transporting wild-caught seafood from the cold waters of Alaska to the land-locked communities of Southwest Colorado is an odyssey. This explains why it's hard to find good, healthy, wild-caught fish at a reasonable price in Southwest Colorado. In order to be efficient and sustainable in our practices, as well as affordable and high quality for our customers, the C.S.S. platform provides an accurate pre-ordered amount of fish to catch, process, package and make the safe journey from our boat to your dinner table.
How it WorkS
Go to "Order Now" and place your "share" order between June 19 and Aug. 19, 2018
10 lb., 15 lb., 25 lb. and 50 lb. shares will be offered until the maximum amount is reached, so order sooner than later!
DEADLINE to order is AUGUST 20th, 2019- we SELL OUT every year- so be sure to order early!
Once all total share orders are in, Silver Wave Seafood Co. will begin the transportation process from Southeast AK to Southwest CO by barge, truck and car
Stay tuned to the Harvest Schedule for more information about how to PICK-UP your share(s) during delivery.
Keep product frozen until you are ready to thaw, cook and enjoy
***If you are unable to personally pick up your fish share or arrange a pick-up, please CONTACT US about home delivery options for an additional fee
Facts: C.S.S. ShareS
Our C.S.S. Shares are specifically offered for residents of Southwest Colorado (sorry amigos elsewhere, hopefully we will get to your special mountain town in the future!)
All of our seafood is wild-caught in Alaska and it is DELICIOUS!
At this time, the Silver Wave C.S.S. will be offered only once a year - so order enough!
The fish is fresh-frozen or smoked and canned in order to make the journey over sea and land
Freezing instantly keeps the water inside of the fish tissues, thus preserving juices and maximizing flavor and texture when thawed and cooked
If kept frozen, the packages have a one year shelf life in freezer
C.S.S. Shares are offered by # of lb. shares, 1 lb = enough for 2 meals
All shares will be 50% Alaskan Sockeye and 50% Alaskan Coho to provide a variety of taste. They are two of the best quality Alaskan salmon available in SE Alaska.
No fish is transported by air, reducing the carbon footprint and price
You are supporting a LOCAL Fisherman!!

Asian Americans Advancing Justice – Atlanta is the first and only nonprofit legal advocacy organization dedicated to the civil rights of Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, and Pacific Islanders (AANHPI) in Georgia and the Southeast.
We work in four major program areas: Civic Engagement and Organizing, Direct Legal Services, Impact Litigation, and Policy Advocacy. We work to defend the rights for Asian Americans, Native Hawaiians, Pacific Islanders, and other underserved communities.
We are one of five independent organizations that make up the national Asian Americans Advancing Justice. Together with our affiliates in Chicago, DC, Los Angeles and San Francisco, we bring more than 100 years of collective experience in addressing the civil rights issues faced by Asian Americans and other vulnerable and underserved communities.
The Center for Pan Asian Community Services (CPACS) began as a volunteer-run organization providing health and human services to the area'S Korean Americans, yet it quickly found that services were also needed by other Asians from many different cultural and linguistic backgrounds, and many of which being limited English proficient. Today, CPACS has a diverse staff of more than 100 full- and part-time employees, capable of speaking 15 different languages.
The staff, led by CEO/ President Chaiwon Kim, provides a broad array of programs that serve men, women, seniors, children and youth in metro Atlanta and beyond. The number of individuals served each month has grown from 791 in 1999 to an average of 2,300 in 2011.
Although CPACS has a unique capacity to serve Asians, it has evolved to provide services that benefit the entire community we live in, be it African American, Hispanic American, White American or Asian American.
Angkor Resource Center, Inc. (ARC) is an innovative multicultural 501 (c) (3) social services center. ARC was established by a group of stakeholders who were able to see the connection between the living conditions in south metro Atlanta and the resources that were available through state and federal anti-poverty programs. ARC offers a variety of programmatic activities designed to handle various unmet needs, including but not limited to housing assistance, workforce development, ESL & citizenship training, and community health screening. While ARC maintains a focus on serving the Asian-American community, ARC's programs and services are open to all races and ethnicity. ARC is unique because we are the sole and leading advocate for Asian-American and other minority groups in south metro Atlanta who still remain to be the most under-served, overlooked, isolated, vulnerable and hard-to-reach residents.
Here at Asian American Resource Center, we know that sometimes all it takes to impact lives is a little support. We're here to lend a hand, offer assistance, and be a voice of reason for those who need it. Since the beginning of our non-profit organization in 1997, we've worked hard to take care of the neediest members of our community. Join us and get into the habit of giving, because it truly does make the world a better place.
Today at the AARC, we work towards a better tomorrow in our community and the world around us. Our primary programs are our EL/Civics Class and our Rapid Re-Housing Programs. These programs give the struggling the help they need, creating a better society around us. We also engage in countless other forms of help every year, like a toy drive, or blanket donation, or just giving out a helping hand.
The Georgia Asylum & Immigration Network (GAIN) was founded to provide quality pro bono legal representation to asylum seekers and immigrant victims of human trafficking, domestic violence, sexual assault and other crimes through direct representation and pro bono referrals.
Raksha, meaning protection in several South Asian languages, is a Georgia-based nonprofit organization for the South Asian Community. Founded in 1995, Raksha addresses social issues within our South Asian community such as family and sexual violence and divorce, as well as issues concerning children, senior citizens and new immigrants. Though we primarily serve the South Asian community, we provide services to all those who face similar barriers to justice, regardless of ability, country of origin, race, religion, caste, socioeconomic status, gender identity, age, immigration status, or sexual orientation. The community includes people from Bangladesh, Bhutan, India, Nepal, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. With approximately 150,000 South Asians in the metropolitan Atlanta area, Raksha's mission is to promote a stronger and healthier community through free and confidential support services, education, and advocacy. Raksha strives to be a source of support for all South Asians who may need support.

Your Sovereignty/
"We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully, nor for much longer, unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody."
~ Buckminster Fuller
There isn't any good reason for me to speak about politics to you. In this great void that we collectively call cyberspace, I struggle enough on a daily basis just to tell my story and share these ideas about ecstatic poetry that I feel are so important. Even then, I'm rarely convinced that my voice is ever really heard. The voices that are getting heard, or so I observe, are the ones that seem to know just what makes our mouths water. They lure us with sex, they tempt our sweet tooths with their scandals, and most of all, especially lately, the loudest voices are screaming about politics and the upcoming U.S. Presidential election. We can't avoid it, can we? It's everywhere we look, threatening to blind us with its blinking lights, promising to deafen us with a hundred million futile Facebook debates every time we scroll through a feed…
This just seems to be the way things are right now. And on my end, I'm content to keep speaking and sharing my heart with you no matter who is listening. This blog post is no different.
I also cannot deny how I feel. I'm scared. I'm worried. I think more than anything, though, I'm embarrassed. But here, I'd like to be clear: I'm not embarrassed by the larger-than-life, orange-skinned political figures all over our television screens and social media feeds. They don't get their power intrinsically; they're not some unstoppable, otherworldly beasts who spontaneously appeared one day without warning or provocation. No, our politicians and enduring political systems are created, and closer to the point here, are sustained, by us. All of us. We are what embarrasses me. I'm embarrassed by how we've been swarming around one another like a stirred hive of angry bees, each of us battling for the specific viewpoint that we're told that we must cling to for fear of death or ruin. I'm embarrassed by how we've been so easily diverted in precisely the ways that those who are in control want us to be, how we've blindly and willingly been playing a game that we couldn't ever possibly win. I'm embarrassed by how quickly we've allowed ourselves to be divided, polarized by an intentional scheme played out from the highest level to the lowest: a malevolent mass-media massacre that seeks to rob us of our goodwill and intelligence. And most of all…most of all…I'm befuddled and embarrassed at how so few of us seem to be awake to this fact at all.
At this point, I want to be very clear about something. I've come to all of these conclusions because I've seen them playing out their dramas in my own life and phenomenological world. I am not exempt from this "beehive mentality." I do not speak from the position of someone who thinks he's found some magical way "out of the game." When I note here that we all seem to be participating in this great collective trap, I say so from my very own intimate perspective. I'm speaking about myself as well.
These sickening questions have been plaguing me for the better part of a year: how much have I, myself, been playing into this game? How awake to it all am I, really? And if I want to work for real good, real peace, what can I do when it all seems so insurmountable?
This is when I decided to come to my art.
Ecstatic poetry – like any other mystical art – has a certain kind of power to help us dig deep into our experience and find its essence, its core. For me personally, I find this process incredibly healing, cathartic, and powerful. I also think that sharing from this place – this more grounded place that exists beyond our triggers, a place that seeks to shine its light on the conditioned reactivity of ego – can be profoundly helpful in social dialogue. And so, with this mission in mind, I went into the cave of my art.
And these two words emerged: "Your Sovereignty."
It was a seed. An idea like a grain of sand in the mouth of a clam: the more it rolled around inside of me, the more layers of glimmer it seemed to gain.
And then a phrase came: "You weren't made to fall at the feet of all the gods that we've created." To me, these "gods that we've created" seemed to be the opposite of "sovereignty," and a trap – a hidden, painful trap – that so many of us are falling into. It's like the master standing on a mountaintop cracking his whip at all the slaves below him: we surrender our sovereignty, all of us, without even realizing that we're slaves…
And so, over time, this art-object was born. It's a poem that, naturally, I called "Your Sovereignty." And yes, no doubt, I wrote it with the current state of our country in mind. But please, friends, don't mistake this post for something that it's not. This isn't a blog about politics or politicians. This isn't a letter that's trying to sway you into one viewpoint or another. This isn't a distraction or a candy-coated seduction, and it isn't just another shouting voice that's trying to divide you up into small groups so that you might wage war on one another.
No, it's none of those things. This is a piece of ecstatic poetry. And its purpose is to support you in your journey towards Waking Up. Its goal is to show you your blind spots in hopes of helping you regain your Sight. Its mission is to show you that it's what you have surrendered that has made this place and these times so desperate and divisive, and to remind you that there is still time to reclaim your power and work hard for true, real, peaceful change.
This is a piece of art, my art, submitted humbly and with full awareness that it arises from only one perspective. Frankly, I believe it's a perspective that, if taken seriously, could cause some meaningful change in these times of slavery and deceit.
This is "Your Sovereignty." Please don't forget it.
Your Sovereignty
these are times that make it seem
like we are living in the twilight
of this world –
when our people spend their lives
exalting all the wrong gods
buying a beggar's cup of comfort
at the price of their wisdom
and goodwill
isn't this how all the great tragedies
as night draws neigh
and dark fingers close their grip
on the crumbling walls of our houses,
in our last and final hours as brothers and sisters
let us write a different story together:
one that does not end in chains
there is still time
you weren't made to fall at the feet
of all the gods
that we've created
you were made to become the ruler of your own heart
and for your sovereignty
to spread across these lands
like a sunrise of unclouded might
limitlessly blooming
from your words
and loving deeds
this is the natural state of things
the truth of the life you were born into
and even during dark times
when it it seems that all is lost
there is still time
to find our way

The challenge for Gemini and Capricorn is to get to the same place at the same time.

d.c. brunch + olive jumpsuit
I felt like I was walking around in pajamas.
This is one of the most comfortable items that I own. I have to resist putting it on at any chance I get. I bought this recently at H&M and I wish there were more colors available because I want to live in these!
A few weeks ago I went to D.C. to visit my cousin and of course brunch was on the agenda. I've been all about dressing simple while still looking chic so packing this was a no-brainer. This entire outfit is one piece; it doesn't get any easier than that! The material is super soft which kept me comfortable while we sat.. and sat some more as we sipped our bottomless mimosas at Toro Toro. And a major selling point was the elastic waist band. I'm not very curvy so that detail helps to give my body more shape and it also hides the tummy I'll never work off if I keep going to buffet style brunches.
To go along with the neutral color palette, I added some snake print sandals and a tan backpack. I am feeling chunkier heels nowadays. They're easier to walk in and way more comfortable than the stiletto I used to gravitate toward. Backpacks are so in right now so I had to jump on the trend. It was perfect for our sightseeing adventure once we were done eating.

Now for the real news. EARTH HOUR. Nearly every community in the world, at 8:30 pm this evening in their respective time zones, was tasked to turn their lights off and enjoy an hour in the dark to "vote Earth". I went above-and-beyond and actually flipped the power breaker off at my house. I went outside and checked out meter to verify -and indeed-, it was completely frozen still.
And to think, I was actually expecting it to keep ticking! Who would've thought that the power companies were completely honest with their measurements? I guess the real test of that will be when the bill comes.
I took a picture of my house during this time of darkness. Besides the reflection of a nearby street light, it was completely dark. And completely eerie. Not too often is my house not lit up by the buzz of my computer fans and the hum of the refridgerator.
Also, here's proof that I was using 0 kilowatt hours!

Do I have to get that one to work for my Xbox or can I buy a cheap 3rd party one?

Your first yoga class - what to expect?
Here a few things to expect during your first yoga class What do I wear?
Basically workout clothes, I like to wear layers depending on the weather and the temperature in the room it's good to have a lightweight long sleeve top but it's good to have the option to take it off if you get too hot so wear a vest top underneath. A tight fitting top is good or something that has a drawstring tie as there are inversions (down dog, headstand, handstand, shoulder stand) during the class so expect to go upside down at some point! You don't want your top falling over your head! You'll be bending, stretching, twisting, so it's important to be comfortable. And don't feel like you have to spend money on fancy yoga clothes for your first yoga class, it's more important that you're come along to practice.
I like to wear tighter fitting trousers or something with a drawstring. When moving into downward facing dog or lifting your leg up into 3 leg dog, your trousers can fall towards your knee, not that this is a huge deal but it helps to just keep your focus on your body and breath and let go of any insecurities and worries about your clothing. I prefer a long sleeve top or zip up top without a hood, when you are practicing sun salutations and fold forward, your hood can fall over your head. Again don't worry if this happens, I've been there and done that. It can be a bit annoying and it's not a big deal but you are conscious of it during your practice and I would rather you were focussing on your breath and what you are feeling in your body, than faffing around with clothing!
I don't expect you to wear the latest up to date sportswear, just be comfortable. I would much rather you invested time and money in yourself by coming to a class than spending a fortune on yoga clothing.
What to bring
yoga mat, water, socks (my feet are always cold during savasana)
Hands and Feet
Don't use hand cream or foot cream before class, you spend a lot of time grounding and gripping with your hands and feet. I've been there when I've used hand cream even in the morning and I've spent the class sliding on the mat. A good quality yoga mat with a good grip should also help.
Yoga Mats
It's good to have your own yoga mat, especially if you plan to practice regularly. It's a good investment and means you can start a home practice too. There are a range of different mats from basic fitness mat to Eco mats in a variety of thicknesses. I recommend at least 6mm thick. TK Maxx often have a good range of yoga clothing and yoga mats. Or check out my blog post here.
What to eat
Please don't come to class on a full stomach. You will be moving and twisting and you may feel uncomfortable and sluggish after a heavy meal. Generally you should wait 2-3 hours after a meal to exercise, as you want your body to be working through the digestive process instead of exercising. I don't want you coming to class hungry, it's important to keep blood sugar levels balance. Have a snack before, something like a banana, a few squares of dark chocolate, a smoothie or a handful of nuts.
When you arrive
Remove your shoes and your socks and please let me your teacher know if you have any injuries.
During class
It's important not to push yourself where your body is not ready to go. This is your own practice, listen to your body and don't compare yourself to someone else on the mat next to you (I know this can be hard to do, especially if you're competitive!). Remember to breath throughout the class and feel free to practice at home in order to master some of the poses.
Yoga is a quiet, introspective activity, where the focus is inward. I would prefer a general chat with friends to be left until after class however if you have any questions, concerns or worries I would prefer if you spoke up. You may hear me saying posture names like Virabhadrasana (warrior). This is normal to hear in a yoga class, teachers often use the traditional Sanskrit names of poses, but most beginners classes will use the English names.
If you need to rest at any point during class, go into child's pose which is a restorative pose, Kneel on the floor, spreading your legs if need be, sit your hips onto your heels and extend your arms either overhead to stretch the length of the back or alongside the hips, to stretch across the top of the back. Please listen to your body and rest when you need to, you can rest in child's pose at any point throughout the practice, to a beginner downward facing dog will not feel like a resting posture!
Format of the class
The class will be slightly different each time you come however generally the beginning of the class we sit or stand and take a few moments to close our eyes, connect with the breath and ground. This helps to bring us into the present moment and let go of our day. There will be a warm up, a series of postures which may target the whole body, legs, arms, backbends, core and then finally a relaxation called Savasana.
I'm just here for the Savasana (corspe pose)
This is my favourite posture, it's so important to make time for this. At the end of class there will 10-15 minutes of Savasana (pronounced sha-vass-ahnah). You will lie on your back and close your eyes. Please don't leave the class before this posture, it's important to absorb your practice, savasana helps to calm the brain, relieve stress and mild depression and anxiety. It also relaxes the body, reduces headache, fatigue, and insomnia.
I end my class my bringing my hands to heart centre and bowing my head down while I say Namaste. Don't be scared off by this, I'm acknowledging the connectedness between us and honouring you for attending class.

In the autumn of 1777, near Saratoga, New York, an inexperienced and improvised American army led by General Horatio Gates faced off against the highly trained British and German forces led by General John Burgoyne. Despite inferior organization and training, the Americans exploited access to fresh reinforcements of men and material, and ultimately handed the British a stunning defeat. The American victory, for the first time in the war, confirmed that independence from Great Britain was all but inevitable.
Author and archaeologist Dean Snow will speak about his book "1777: Tipping Point at Saratoga", how veterans of the battles wrote about their experiences, how historians have written about the battles, and how he as an archeologist wrote about the subject.

All the Ketchup I Want
October 18, 2013
Often enough, when one of the kdis throws a fit, Cate and I will joke about it to each other. The jokes are usually along the lines of how hard it is to be a kid because you get to play all day and you don't really have any responsibilites and boy, wouldn't that be nice.
But we also have conversations sometimes about how hard it is to be a kid. James has been a royal pain in the ass lately because he's teething and not sleeping really well, and so he's fussy and all that. His general buttheadedness has been kind of rough on Simone because she isn't getting the attention we would like her to get. Don't get me wrong, she's not really suffering or anything, but she doesn't get read to as much. We aren't as patient with her.
She's been reacting by being pretty cranky herself. Lots of fits about little stuff, which only tells us that she feels like she doesn't have control over what is going on. And you know what? She doesn't, and I bet it really sucks.
Think about it for minute. Imagine you come home and your spouse is too busy with work or whatever so he or she can't really interact. Fine. You're a grownup, you can cope with that. Maybe you decide to have a cup of coffee, but just as you start to get it together, your spouse chimes in that the coffee is needed for tomorrow so it will have to be tea. Okay, fine. Oh and wait, not that mug. No, you have to use this mug.
Why? Why can't I pick my own damn mug?
You sit down to watch a little TV, but the show is bothering your spouse, so you have to turn it off. You pick up a book, but the spouse says know, I need that for research.
You decide to order dinner. The spouse shoots down everything except for the place you don't like and the place you've been three times in a row.
You sick of this yet? This is the life of a kid. The only difference is, they often don't understand our reasons even if we try to explain it.
It is really hard. I wouldn't want to do that. If Cate acted like the spouse I descibed, I'd have told her to go to hell and then gone and gotten the dinner I wanted and she could fend for herself, thank you very much. Kids, of course, can't do that.
A month or so ago, Simone and I were at a local park together while Cate and James were off at a baby-wearing function. It's a big park with lots of woods and a nice walking path. We started at a little playground and Simone had fun, but after a while, she was ready to explore.
I let her take charge and we went from tree to tree so she could try to climb them. Then she was ready to go into the woods and explore. She was adamant that she stay in the lead, which was fine with me. She took us down one path and than another and then another. It was kind of sticky and there were bugs in spots, but it was mostly pretty nice. It was quieter than usually get in the city and she was having fun exploring and being in charge for a change.
And then I looked up and saw a white-tailed doe with her fawn. I stopped and pointed them out to Simone. We looked at them for a moment, I snapped a few pictures and we kept going down the path. Much to my surprise, however , the path curved, and we ended up circling the deer. We got closer and closer. At our nearest point, we were maybe 10 or 15 feet away. They were reasonably tame from living so close to lots of people. They skittered around, but didn't run.
It was all very cool and Simone had a ball and was very happy and I felt very close to her.
As a parent, trying to teach a kid how to be a person, it's easy to forget that it has been a long time since someone told me what path I could go down or how much TV I could watch or how much ketchup I could have. I'm an adult. I do what I want. As Jerry Seinfeld once said, "If I want a cookie, I'm having a cookie."
Sometimes, we have to let our kids have cookies. Life is better when we do.
What Is Popular Culture?
October 11, 2013
I got into an argument on the internets recently about the quality of a pop group. The pop group is irrelevant, but it came with some comments about the need to stay current with popular culture, and it got me wondering about how we define popular culture.
It seems to me, and this is an open invitation for people to contradict/inform me, that we define popular culture as those things which teenagers and college students really dig. So, for instance, when I was a kid, pop culture was Titanic and The Dave Matthews Band and Spiderman movies and everything else you can think of that made a shitload of money from teenagers around then. We can have debates about whether or not this stuff is good, but that's not really my point.
My point, more or less, can be thought of this way: Right now, Elton John has an album in the top-10. So does Metallica. So does Cher. When I was in the teenage/college years, Mark Knopfler (of Dire Straits) had several Albums that can only be described as world wide hits (even if they weren't high charting in the US). Eric Clapton had 4 top-10 albums during this time. Hell, Knopfler still charts in the top-ten in most of Europe.
But look, with the exception of maybe Metallica, none of my students are listening to any of that stuff. Almost no one I knew in college was at all conscious of it. It wasn't a part of popular culture, but it was really popular. Why? Because of old people (here "old" means over 25). This strikes me as incredibly stupid because, frankly, teenagers and college kids don't know much of anything. That's why they're still in school. I mean, I remember all the great music I discovered in college and half of it was from before I was born. I didn't know who Dire Straits was, and then I was obsessed (I tend to obsess). The point is that I didn't yet know how much I didn't know.
There are three reasons we pay so much attention to pop culture, one is that it is "new." Another is that teenagers are still forming loyalties, so advertisers are all over that stuff, thus it has a larger media presence. The third is that it theoretically gives us a glimpse into the collective psyche.
The second of those reasons is pretty easy to discount. Regarding the first, I have found, frankly, that one of the best things about getting older is the realization that there's lots of new stuff and that most of it is really old. As a musician (can't remember the name) said recently on Sound Opinions, "the only thing new is you finding out about it." I don't really feel the need to go after everything that is extremely popular right now because, well, I'm much more interested in stuff I think is good. Sometimes, what I think is good is that same as what pop culture thinks is good (this happened with Lupe Fiasco a few years ago). Sometimes, pop culture has no clue, even with a relatively young act (Teddy Thompson and Tedeschi Trucks Band spring to mind). And as for the last reason, if you have even a very rudimentary sense of pop culture, you know as much about the collective psyche as anyone.
So, yeah, pop culture. Whatever. Lots of stuff has been pop culture at one point or another, but there's a reason we don't still listen to Wham! just like there's a reason we still read Jane Austen.
October 7, 2013
Baseball season just ended and the Reds were destroyed in the playoffs for the third time in four years and then the manager was fired. In other words, it has been freaking busy. I love baseball, I do, but this year was the most stress baseball has ever laid on me. For one, it was the first season during which I had a regular column for which I was actually getting paid. That was pretty cool, but it was also every week, no matter what. Speaking of which, I wrote my last column of the season in metered verse. It was fun, and you can find it here if you want.
Also, I've been given the chance to write for a new internet magazine. It is called The Louisville Lip. The first issue will be in November, and I'll have an article in it. It's nice because it gives me the chance to write on a larger platform about things other than baseball. I'm not sure how often I'll contribute or how often I they want me to contribute, but I'm happy for the opportunity.
I haven't written about my fiction writing for a bit. It's amazing how the school year grinds creative endeavors to a halt. I'm giving Lonely Human Atoms another read through, and then I'm going to start sending it out again. Reading back over it is good for me. I like it. it makes me believe in myself again. Anyway, I have a couple of other projects going as well and I'm hoping to get one of them finished during the offseason.
So, I guess this is all the long way of saying that I've been writing, but it hasn't been here very often. I've been keeping this blog for a long time now. I started the first version of it five years ago last month, and my favorite part is that I've never felt like I had to write about one particular topic. Everywhere else I write, it's very focused on one thing or another, but here I write what I want. Sometimes that's about my job, sometimes it's my family, sometimes it's stupid crap that I find interesting.
The blog isn't going anywhere, but as someone who really seeks to have his writing read, I have to take opportunities where I can find them, and sometimes that means it will be a few weeks between posts here, especially if my kids don't do anything noteworthy.
But I'm here. I'm around. James wants to be just like his sister. Simone is excited for Halloween and in not too long, she'll get to write to Santa, which she's been waiting to do since roughly December 26th last year. Cate is just coming back to a bit of blogging after a hiatus. She's also starting a weaving business. I recently decided to take the dust jackets from all my hardback books, and now they're so pretty I've become obsessed with all manner of fancy hardback books that I can't really afford. It's fun to dream, though. Even if the dreams are small.

Current Affairs: Doom & Gloom or Opportunity?
Current Affairs
Oh, economic Woes! Over the last couple of decades – due to a variety of reasons - we have seen an unbelievable collapse of the nuclear family as we once knew it, and an unhealthy trend toward a more isolated, me-oriented society. The media and big business have exhorted us to spend all that we have, and more....way more. The children of the last decade in particular, are not being allowed to be 'just kids'…but are being exploited by mass advertising campaigns, and in many cases, are growing up way too soon…and without the moral, cultural and financial values that our older generations have learned….and earned.
The current economic times being what they are, offer an excellent opportunity to practice connecting back to the family and friends to find gratification in the smaller things of life. There are many lessons to be learned.
Of interest, in our own teaching community, the family of one of our teachers has given up their second car. Interestingly, the family is finding that they are spending more time talking to each other, and being aware of what other members of the family are doing. Basically, they are arranging for rides to and from places, and being there for each other.
A second teacher's family has down-sized their home – opting for a smaller home which is financially easier – and has brought everyone in their family closer together.
Perhaps this current downtrend in the economy is, in reality, a wake-up call. A reminder to be content with what we already have – and a golden opportunity to practice gratefulness..and then to notice how we feel when we practice being grateful.
Have you ever really thought about why it is that Yoga is so popular now? Why are so many people coming together to practice Yoga? It's an easy thing to learn at home...once you've read a couple of books or viewed a video or two, you are good to go! So, why then, come to a group Yoga Class?
I sense that the #1 reason why people are gathering to practice Yoga is that they enjoy practicing in the company of others. Have you ever FELT the energy in a Vinyasa Flow class when everyone is breathing and moving in sync? Wow! There's a special kind of magic at work! Like an energetic force field. You may never acknowledge the person on the next mat, yet you've made a connection. Add to that, of course, that Yoga teachers can add dimension and depth to your practice....that you might not have realized on your own.
The next time you attend a class at the studio, why not take a moment to be grateful for the way that the other people in the room enhance the experience of your practice.

More Audis a-comin'! The Detroit Free Press reports: Audi to invest $15.7 billion; grow line from 22 to 40.
We're big fans of Audi but we have no idea how they are going to double the models they are selling. Unless they count the coupe and sedan as different models (we don't). And adding that sweet, sweet V-8 doesn't count, either.
But, what do we know? If Audi says they can come up with another 18 models, praise be to them.
What do you think Audi is going to introduce over the next few years (in the way of new models)?
Based on the sweet A3, our biggest gripe about the upcoming new Audis is that we won't be able to afford one. That's a snap of the 2007 Audi A3, by the way. It's schweeet!

Shower me with your kisses
Soft like
Soft lips
I'll be gentle in return.
Bury my face,
Take refuge
In the crook of your arm.
"I am listening!"
How soon is the soon you'll let me sleep?
If that really is your intention.
You've tricked me here.
I don't mind.
You rain down gently
You count down the time.
"4 more mins" 4 more ...
Till the next time you ask
For more.
Let me listen to the symphony
Beating in your chest for a while
Let me just rest for a while
There's a lot to process
"I'll be good"
Is taking too many meanings
I don't know what your meaning
You're showering me with kisses
What's the blooming idea?

For the past two weeks, I've been re-bonding with my houserabbit. She used to live with a friend of mine (long, tortuous story) but when he moved back home, she came to stay with me. Daphne - after the Scooby-Doo character - is just over a year or so old; she's a French Lop. And a proper madam.
At the moment, she's lying, stretched full-length in the living room. She spends a lot of the day napping, dozing and checking her eyelids for leaks. And then she potters around the house for a little while, sniffing everything, checking everything is in place - and woe betide you if it isn't. One of her tricks is picking up shoes and throwing them out of the way - usually towards where they should be lying. She keeps me tidy. But after the exhaustions of shoe-throwing (or the olympic food-bowl throwing, usually held just after I've cleaned her room) she has a little nap.
There is, however, one event which demands stamina. Endurance. Training.
The Bunbun 400.
Dahpne starts in the bedroom, usually against a wall - or saving that, something which gives a satisfying noise when shoved - and charges, full tilt along the length of the corridor. She slaloms through the the kitchen doorway, scrabbling at the carpet tiles and narrowly avoiding the door. There's a sharp chicane around the bottom of the breakfast bar, weaving between the stool legs, and then the sharp turn under the sofa, usually executed by bouncing off the wall. And then back to the bedroom. And then lap two. And three. And maybe four, followed by a brief rest, before starting again.
This is all done at a charge, full of thundering feet, lop ears flapping furiously and white cotton-wool tail punctuating each bound with a wiggle. When turning corners, she binkies - flings herself into the air, twisting wildly as though attepmting to tie herself in knots - and lands with a thump far out of proportion to her size.
And after the race, she flops down again, to groom and shed fawny hair on the carpet before rolling on her back and sighing.

CX Version:
The RightNow Customer Portal website solution heavily utilizes JavaScript and AJAX features as part of its core functionality. While these features are very powerful, some otherwise simple development tasks become exponentially more complicated. One category of customizations I've historically struggled with was performing custom logic after a form submit has occurred. I've run into this type of customization many times; some projects need to dynamically redirect to a different page than the default confirmation page; others want to send some custom tracking to Google Analytics. Historically, my solution was to customize the Form Submit widget and add my custom logic there.
I've found a better way of doing this that doesn't require the extension of the Form Submit widget. It is possible to subscribe to all AJAX events in RightNow. Your subscribed function has the ability to redefine the AJAX call's success handler. When done correctly, you can inject your own custom logic then call the original handler when appropriate. The possibilities are endless; using this technique you can do things like:
- Completely redefine the success handler
- Modify the AJAX response payload before calling the default success handler
- Run your own logic before calling the original success handler
So how does this work? Let's walk through an example.
My demonstration use case is that after an "Ask" form submit has been processed by the server, custom logic determines where to redirect the user. If the user wants to submit another Incident, I want to reload the "Ask" page; otherwise I want to direct them to the success page (the default behavior).
I will ask my user if they want to submit another Incident using a JavaScript confirm dialog. If they select "OK" the ask page will reload. If they hit "Cancel", the standard success handler will be executed; this results in the user being taken to the page indicated by the FormSubmit widget's "on_success_url" attribute. My confirm dialog will display the Incident Reference Number as part of its user message.
Full Code
Detailed Explanation
We wrap our entire block of code inside of an anonymous function that we execute immediately. This technique keeps our local variables out of the global scope and offers some convenient encapsulation.
Since this code is theoretically in the autoload.js file, we have to assume it is called on every single page. In reality we only want to register this handler for the /app/ask page. We do this by grabbing the current page path, then using a RightNow Text utility to see if the path begins with "/app/ask". If it does, we register the event handler.
Now that we know we are on the correct page, we want to register an event handler for the on_before_ajax_request event. This event occurs whenever ANY AJAX call occurs through the RightNow Customer Portal framework. We pass in an anonymous function as our event handler. This event handler will modify the success handler without custom logic.
Even on the /app/ask page, there could be multiple AJAX events that are fired. For example, if there is an "email" field an AJAX call is made to validate its uniqueness. Same is true for the "login" field. If you use the Country/Province fields, an AJAX call is made whenever a Country is selected in order to load the appropriate Province values. We are not interested in any of these events. We only want to perform custom logic when the event is from a "Form Submit". The next bit of code checks the Event Object (passed into our event handler function) to confirm that the event is from a Form Submit; if it is, we proceed with modifying the success handler.
We want to modify the success handler's behavior in a subset of cases. In some situations we want to call the default success handler. For this reason, we make a "copy" of the success handler by creating a prototype object and storing the original success handler on the prototype.
Next we redefine the successHandler property on the Event Object with our own custom definition. When the AJAX call completes successfully, this function will be called instead.
Our custom implementation prompts the user using a JavaScript confirm dialog; we ask the user if they want to submit another Incident or not. For convenience, we also display the Incident reference number which is passed to our success handler function via the response parameter.
If the user "Cancels" the dialog, we want to perform the default action for Form Submit; this means directing the user to the Ask Confirmation page. We can do this by calling the original success handler which we stored in a previous step. If the user chooses "OK", we instead perform our custom logic and simply reload the page so that they can enter another Incident.
While the above use case if fairly simplistic, it gives a concrete starting point for writing your own custom success handlers. Theoretically, you could also define your own error handler, but I've never encountered a use case for this. As a challenge, try using the above technique to fire a Google Analytics event before the user is redirected to the "Ask Confirm" page. See if you can figure out how to get the original form data in your success handler and use that as part of your Google Analytics Event call (for example, the Incident subject).

Hi Andy, thanks for the detailed article....just wondering how u r able to decipher args parameter .....
Andy, My requirement is to include Custom Object fields in Ask.php so I am using Siteinfo example of CP provided by Oracle and but I am getting JSON not correctly formatted....below is what i have done
- removed formsubmit successhandler statement to submit via Action attribute of form tab but JSON Format error pops up
- tried customizing FormSubmit widget but its failing
- Now trying your solution but Would like to know how to put Custom Controller URL like /cc/AjaxSiteLocation/submitAsk in the above code in autoload.js
your help will be highly appreciatd
Andy - Thanks for your response..I am literally pulling my hair .....After doing trial & error, I figured what u mentioned but its creating incident but not SiteInfo Custom Object. I would like to know from you:

Vans CO2 target 'a joke' say green transport campaigners
CO2 emissions from vans have already dipped beneath a target average figure set for 2017 – but one campaign group is criticising the targets rather than praising the van manufacturers.
Transport & Environment says the 175g/km CO2 target is too weak, after official EC figures revealed average CO2 emissions for vans sold in 2013 was 173.3g/km. The 2017 target was agreed in 2010 and T&E senior policy officer says the latest average CO2 figures "confirm what we've said since 2010: the vans target is a joke.
"This regulation is not delivering lower fuel costs for businesses, it's not driving the supply of ultra clean urban delivery vehicles and does little or nothing to offset emissions from increasing traffic."
T&E says an additional vans CO2 target of 147g/km by 2020 requires an improvement of 15%, "significantly less than the 25% improvement the EU required for its passenger cars". The campaign group points to a study carried out in 2012 that says a target equivalent to the 2020 goal of 95g/km for cars should be 118g/km for vans.
The European Commission is reportedly looking at a 2025 target between 105-120g/km CO2.
Despite the improvements in van CO2 emissions, T&E says they are "one of the fastest growing sources of CO2 emitted from transport in Europe". Van CO2 emissions increased by 26% between 1995-2010, it says; vans account for 8% of EU road transport emissions. But as van manufacturers step up the rate of CO2 reductions, how long before that figure starts to decline again?

Babies Situation:
The Girls are getting stronger at pulling up and moving between furniture. They got their first set of tennis shoes which seems to help. I also got them some new toys from the AMOM (Austin Mom's of Multiples) consignment sale. They now have a table with activities on top of it that requires them to stand while playing, a shopping cart that they push back and forth across the living room, and a talking mirror with lights (it's like a karaoke mirror).
Trinity loves the push toys and goes back and forth all day. Kinsley isn't as strong so she'll push a toy if encouraged but it's rare for her to start it on her own. Julie, the OT, says that Kinsley is a perfectionist so she will walk when she has it mastered. Trinity is the opposite. She'll go for it, fall, pick herself back up, and start again.
Julie has now moved her visits to every other week. She said the Girls are doing great developmentally and they seem to be ok with eating different textures which can be a problem with reflux children. She'll come a few more times and then she thinks they can be released from her care.
Trinity has had a rough week of teething. She has been up throughout the night all week long. She has been able to put herself back to sleep without our assistance. Hopefully, Keith and I can recover on our sleep this weekend. Kinsley was slobbering pretty bad too so she might be entering a bad teething stage now. Oh, a quick update on our first trip to church with the Girls. We decided to try one of the morning services which happened to fall at nap time. From what we were told, Kinsley cried most of the time and Trinity cried out of sympathy for Kinsley. We'll be trying a different service time next week.
Parent's Thoughts:
I cannot believe OT is talking about releasing the Girls. It's a great milestone to hit but honesty, it scares me not having the safety net of someone in the medical field checking on them weekly reassuring me they are where they should be at this point. It was nice having Julie come weekly to show me what the Girls should be working on next. Now I have to figure it out on my own!!! I already do this but I will continue asking God for wisdom as I raise these special little Girls. They bring such joy to our lives!!!
Our Daily Encouragement:
Cast your burden on the Lord, and he sustain you.

Higher Ed Website Information Architecture
Redesign the site structure and navigation for a university with nearly 2,500 pages of content — a website so unfriendly that some students said they nearly didn't apply because they couldn't find anything.
Not only re-architect the website so it's usable, but also so it supports the client's long-term vision and a mobile-first, responsive experience.
What I Did
Domain and Market Research, Discovery, Personas, Competitive and Comparative Analysis, Web Analytics, Content Inventory and Mapping, Gap Analysis, User Flows, Interviews, Scenarios, Site Mapping, Sketching, Evaluative Research Design, Usability Testing, Wireframing, Design Documentation
I joined this project as a freelancer for the agency Mind Over Media, which contracted me to design a new information architecture. From January to June 2014, I embedded with the agency and additionally contributed to the project's interaction design, UI design, and overall user experience.
When I joined the project team, there was already a trove of discovery material. I soaked up and synthesized interviews, audience surveys and multiple sources of data, adding my own exploratory research into search patterns, traffic data, target audiences, and competitors. From the get-go, I collaborated with the project manager to set expectations and deadlines.
To re-architect Clarion's website, I knew I had to become intimately familiar with its current structure and content. With an inventory in hand, I pored over clarion.edu to sift, tag, organize, group, and weigh its many pages. This was a critical first step toward identifying key tasks, workflows, organizational needs, and user pain points.
Iterating through each section, the new architecture began to take shape. Along the way I conducted further interviews, drafted user flows, mocked-up wireframes, and modeled enterprise relationships across content.
It soon became clear that one vital piece of the architecture wouldn't play nicely. An initial design involving the school's degrees and programs was proving exceedingly complicated once I began to flesh it out. After trying to force the solution, I realized the only way to go forward was actually to go back and sketch alternatives. Could it be any other way? What if we did this? What about ... ?
Parallel design and team collaboration led to a new structure. I documented the reasoning and presented it to our clients, explaining our choices and earning their approval.
Throughout the design process, I directly interacted with clients and delivered IA updates and presentations while guiding conversation during weekly meetings. As necessary, I responded to client questions with additional research for addressing issues big and small.
I tested the usability of the new IA with more than 150 prospective and current students, and the results were better (and more illuminating) than we could have hoped for. Rates for findability and directness exceeded 80% for key user tasks, and where performance lagged we learned from students' mental models to further shore up the design.
In the end, Clarion's new architecture was half the size of its old one, and we met project deadlines. My work earned praise from both Mind Over Media and Clarion University:

Dessi-Olive is the Georgia Tech School of Architecture's first Ventulett NEXT Visiting Fellow. His work takes a critical approach to technology while integrating history and theory of architecture, contemporary compression-only construction, and computational design.
As a designer, builder and scholar, his motivation is to help designers and builders to learn to design more intuitively, systematically, and visually. He firmly believes making is inseparable from design, and provides a context for learning that brings to light the relationship between current design tools and methods, and our necessity to make breakthroughs in techniques of assembly and construction.
His recent contributions have been to develop new methodologies for designing and building high-performance, sustainable concrete structures in the United States, Europe and Africa.
As the inaugural winner of the RAMSA Traveling Fellowship, and in collaboration with Minneapolis-based NGO Organic Health Response, Jonathan initiated and led a project to construct a hybrid wind and solar-powered radio studio on a remote island in Kenya.
The building was constructed using historical construction techniques, adapted through local building traditions. This project was presented at the TEDxPenn 2015 conference and has since served as the basis of his research.
Noel began her two-year term as Ventulett NEXT Generational Visiting Fellow in the Fall 2018 semester. As a research scientist, computational designer, artist, and architect, Noel's work largely focuses on craft and cultural design practices, computational making, and lightweight architecture.
After earning her professional degree in architecture from Howard University, Noel worked with Burt Hill, an international design firm in Washington, D.C. and Ahmedabad, India. She later graduated from Massachusetts Institute of Technology with a Master of Science in Architecture Studies from the Design Computation Group and is currently a Ph.D. candidate in design computing at Penn State University.
Noel taught design computation and digital design and fabrication at the Singapore University of Technology and Design. She is also the founder, creator and editor of Architecture Caribbean, an online platform that showcased and promoted design by Caribbean nationals. In 2015, Noel gave a TEDx Talk titled, "The Power of Making: Craft, Computation, and Carnival" at TEDxPortofSpain.
The Ventulett NEXT Generation Visiting Fellows is a new initiative at the School of Architecture intended for young faculty who are at the beginning of their careers and interested in interdisciplinary teaching and research that merges design, technology and culture.
Fellows teach design studios and workshops at both the undergraduate and graduate level and participate actively in the life of the school. The workshops can be used to assist the Fellows in their own directed design research that will result in a public exhibition and lecture at the school.
Ventulett NEXT Generation Visiting Fellows are given an unparalleled opportunity to advance their individual interests through teaching and design research utilizing the full resources of the College of Design including our Digital Fabrication & Robotics Laboratory that houses a suite of industrial-scale CNC equipment.
Fellows conduct interdisciplinary work with junior faculty from other schools within the College of Design and across campus including computing, engineering and science and are given support in making these connections. Fellows also have the opportunity to work with SoA research faculty and PhD students on projects of common interest.
Announcements for new Fellow applicants are made each fall and applications are reviewed beginning on November 1 of each year.
