Gaelic Storm is back with the #1 Billboard World Album The Boathouse, a seafaring album of traditional songs of the ocean, recorded in one whiskey fueled week in a converted boathouse on The Chesapeake Bay.

The Boathouse is the sixth album to be released on the band's own label, Lost Again Records, and showcases the incomparable songwriting and accomplished musicianship of a band that has made their mark bringing fans to their feet two hundred days per year.
The group's ability to deftly incorporate a rock sensibility into their sound affords them rare crossover appeal.

SummaryMAKE WAY !
The GoodThis is the only skateboarding game I have, but it is one of the best games I have ever played . First off, this is the Nintendo version of the game, so some content was cut out, but I'll talk about that later. The gameplay consist of various modes, like free skate, career, single session, park editor, and multiplayer. I never played multiplayer, but all the other modes are solid in design. Career plays out that you have to collect certain items,or scores in two minutes to unlock new levels and characters. Park editor lets you make your own park to tear up as you preform kick flips before eating it as you fall flat on your..well...trying to land that ever elusive trick that lets you unlock that last character or board you want. Free skate lets you roam free in the levels unlocked in career mode with no time limit. I can't remember much about single session except that it was like free skate. The level design is well thought out and sometimes very challenging. Now on to the graphics. Good,but I've seen better. The levels have more than enough draw distance to see where you are going, even in the outdoors levels. That is quite a feat considering this was originally a playstation game, and that the Nintendo 64 has a bad habit of a short draw distance. The sound is a little lacking. The music sounds quite good considering this a cartridge. It sounds almost as clear as a cd ! The sounds of things like the skateboard wheels, the level noise, and the wipe outs are very satisfying. The con-trolls are tight with the analog stick, but more precise with the directional pad. This game also lets you create your own skater , with tattoos, different clothes , shoes , and various other things . Plus Spider man is an unlockable character ! If that doesn't make you want this game something is wrong with you ! And on a final note, there are tons of unlockable stuff ,ensuring that you'll come back for more !
The BadThe songs in this version have been mixed shorter than the other platforms because of the media limitations. The create a skater mode while good, should have had better looking skaters. They are very blocky in the face and particularly ugly. And this game requires the expansion pack AND the memory pack ! And my memory pack erased all of my save data and now I have to start all over again ! And the create a park mode is a little cumbersome.

"Now you can skip the line entirely to buy train tickets right on your iPhone..."
According to 2015 research, 80 per cent of New York residents own smartphones which can now be taken advantage of by ticketing services. New York has entered the 21st century by putting their smartphone technology to good use on the metro lines. It has been announced that passengers on Metro-North Railroad and Long Island Railroad can now pay for tickets with Apple Pay, Apple's digital wallet service whilst Android users will be able to download the Mastercard app, Masterpass to make quick and simple payments.
Governor of New York, Andrew Cuomo said: "We have worked tirelessly to rebuild and reimagine New York's transit system for the 21st century and a key part of those efforts is to incorporate the amenities that modern day riders demand…By adding the use of cutting edge technology like Apple Pay and Masterpass, we are not only making mass transit easier to use, but are also improving the overall experience of riders."
These plans have been brought forward from the end of the year to this month to help make New York a smarter city and to create a smarter metro.
The metro is the busiest commuter rail line in North America. Now for the first time, ApplePay and Mastercard are bringing the 8,764,983 weekly commuters a quick and easy way to ride the Metro North and LIRR journey through contactless payment options. These tickets can be purchased anywhere at any time to increase customer convenience and reduce queuing time at the stations. This application will cater for all ticket types including singles, returns, weekly or monthly tickets.
MTA Chairman and CEO Thomas F. Prendergast said, "We're pleased to welcome both Apple Pay and Masterpass to the eTix experience. We believe that the addition of these secure payment options will help us to do an even better job of meeting the needs of our customers, and we look forward to further building the user-base for the app in the weeks and months ahead."
This technology was first introduced on a public transport network by Transport for London (TfL) in 2014. It is as simple as:
- Create an account
- Top up your account
- Choose a journey
- Tap to complete that journey
This innovation was kick-started to reduce paper tickets and cash handling which to make large potential savings for TfL. Not only are contactless payments easier to track, but they will also provide useful information for collecting transport usage data to schedule trains, buses and trains effectively. After two years of operation, the contactless payment options have delivered results for the London rail and tube service which hope to be achieved in New York:
According to the UK Card Association, they have produced the latest figures for July 2016 in London:
- As of July 2016, there are a total of 92.1 m contactless cards in issue in the UK. These cards are split between debit (64.7m) and credit / charge cards (27.4m). This is an increase of 29.9% over the year.
- £2,105.6 was spent in the UK in the month using a contactless card. This is an increase of 11.8% on the previous month and an increase of 239.7% per the year.
- On average, each contactless transaction is for £8.76. This is split £8.75 on a debit card and £8.79 on a credit / charge card.
So why have New York taken two years to catch up? Although banks have fully promoted this technological advancement, part of the challenge has been due to the lack vendor support. Although Apple Pay was launched in 2014 in the US, in-app support is easier to develop than in retail because it avoids having to upgrade point-of-sale terminals.
Apple Pay and Masterpass eTix will eliminate the hassle of re-typing credit card numbers, billing information and security codes to make a transaction. However, do not fret because these apps have in-built security and privacy. Each payment that is made will hide your card detail information, and once the payment has been authorised your apple device will create a single individual security code.
Apple Pay Vice President Jennifer Bailey said, "The New York commute just got that much easier thanks to Apple Pay in the MTA eTix app. Now you can skip the line entirely to buy train tickets right on your iPhone."
Similarly, Mastercard North America President Craig Vosburg added, "Mastercard is working with the world's leading cities and industry partners to remove the friction that slows down how people move around them. The integration of Masterpass into the MTA eTix app is a tremendous showcase of progress on this commitment as we look to build out a seamless user experience for commuters in New York. In today's fast-paced, always connected world, people expect to have access to payment solutions that deliver a simple and secure experience and this collaboration truly delivers on that."
The eTix will have an added feature where the user will be able to check schedules, operational statuses, refunds and receipts. As New York is the first for this type of technology in the US, it is expected that it won't be too long before other subways are making the same upgrade.

You should have arrived here from ***Kathy Burrows' Snips, Snaps, and Scraps***. If you get lost along the way, Melinda Everitt keeps a list of participants on her blog at If You Bling It.
I was inspired by the card on page 19 of Annual Inspirations 2016-17, but I call this my "when life hand you lemons, you make lemonade card" because this is not how the card started in my minds eye.
Before you head to ***Jennifer Rubio's Jen's Jewel Box***, the supplies I used to create my project and why I call this my lemonade card are listed below.
I planned to cut a transparency with the Thin Cut, use the Bonding Memories™ Glue Pen to make a temporary adhesive (if you do not know about that feature of this glue, please ask your consultant) and then spritz through the negative with a mixture of re-inker and water. I could not find my transparencies so I used a glossy, cardstock weight piece of junk mail. When I could not find my re-inker, I decided to use my Watercolor Paints, but realized I forgot to replenish my supply of Watercolor Paper. It was then that I decided to use the die cut as a mask. I decided to just go for it with regular cardstock, but was a little generous with the water so my cardstock mask moved a bit which lead me to cut "hello" from a piece White Daisy cardstock and use the Shimmer Brush on it. I wonder if it is actions like this that a former co-worker told me I was too optimistic?
By the way, if you have not tried cutting the new Glitter Paper with the Cricut Explore yet, you are certain to be delighted. I was able to cut the Glitter Paper on the Light Cardstock + setting. I cut the first image on the Custom Setting choosing Cardstock, Glitters - 0.6mm, but the double cut was not necessary so I paused my cut to change the settings.
All supplies are from Close To My Heart except where noted:
- Enchantment Fundamentals (Z3254)
- Adventure Fundamentals (Z3253)
- 12" × 12" White Daisy Cardstock (1385)
- White Glitter Paper (Z3237)
- Thin Cuts—Hello & Thanks (Z3259)
- Watercolor Paints (Z3132)
- Paintbrush Set (Z3188)
- Bonding Memories™ Glue Pen (Z553)
- 3L® E-Z Dots® Adhesive (Z3022)
- Thin 3-D Foam Tape (Z2060)
- Shimmer Brush—Clear (Z3293)
- Cricut® Artistry Collection (physical cartridge—Z3167) or Cricut® Artistry Digital Collection (no cartridge—Z3190)
- Star Medallion - #M58A2D0 - cut at height set at 1.2"
- Anchor - #M4130B6 - cut at height set at 1.3"
- Star Border - #M418BE8 - cut at height set at 0.83"
- Star Border - #M418E25 - cut at height set at 0.42"
- Supplies not from Close To My Heart: Cricut® Design Space, Cricut® Explore
Before you leave I would be delighted if you left me a comment letting me know what you think of my project. So you do not have to scroll back up, the next stop on the hop is ***Jennifer Rubio's Jen's Jewel Box***.
Thank you for hopping with us. I hope you a loving the projects we are sharing.

Yeah, the pork product fits right in as one of those polarizing topics. You love it. Or, you hate it. There's no in-between.
And don't go getting all holier than sow, vegetarians, because there are enough different kinds of facon on the market to prove that you, too, have a soft spot for that sweet, sweet pig candy - even if it's made out of texturized soy protein concentrate, soybean oil with TBHQ for freshness, sodium sulfite and guar gum, among other unpronounceable ingredients. (Seriously, you're better off eating the real deal.)
"Bacon love is universal," says Angel Fabian, corporate chef for Noble Hops, 1335 W. Lambert Lane in Oro Valley. "It's sweet, it's savory. It's cool to work with."
Chef Travis Peters became a full-fledged foodie because of bacon.
Peters - one of the owners of new gastropub The Parish, 6453 N. Oracle Road - remembers watching that '60s TV show "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C." as a 7-year-old. The marine misfit made bacon sprinkled with brown sugar and pepper, and his hard-to-please sergeant declared it the best he ever had. Peters tried that trick and hasn't stopped experimenting with bacon yet, as is obvious from The Parish's menu. Bacon's everywhere - in popcorn; wrapped around frog legs; on the burger, of course; and in its fattier, more decadent incarnation, pork belly.
"It's magical, really," Peters says of the stuff.
He considers bacon his secret weapon.
"If I'm doing anything funky with food, I always throw in something comfortable to draw you in a little bit," Peters says.
It really doesn't get funkier than frog legs. When The Parish opened, Peters says he actually had to give the frog legs away because no one would buy 'em. Now, they're a big seller.
"Bacon just works with everything."
Bacon makes everything better.
That's what bacophiles think anyway. Well, we decided to test that theory. Does it really make everything - every thing - taste better? Even a milkshake?
That's what Jack in the Box did - whipped up a bacon milkshake for its secret menu. How much more wackadoo can you get than squirting bacon-flavored syrup into vanilla ice cream and blending it up?
Well, we decided to see what would happen if we added bacon to foods that didn't exactly seem like a marriage made in hog heaven.
Bacon bits
Here's a look at some of the more unusual items at local restaurants and stores involving everyone's favorite pork product:
• Bacon milkshake - Smoke and maple aren't exactly the first flavors you expect when you suck down a very vanilla-lookin', whipped cream-and-cherry-topped shake, but that's what you taste in this Jack in the Box secret-menu item (you have to ask for it). $3.19 and $3.69.
• Bacon scotch ice cream - One of the rotating flavors at Hub Restaurant and Ice Creamery, 266 E. Congress St., this vanilla-based flavor is laced with, duh, scotch and bacon. Serving sizes start at 4 ounces for $3.67.
• Maple bacon bar - A long, rectangular doughnut slicked with sweet maple icing and topped with a crisp bacon strip can be found daily at Mom & Pop Donut Shop, 7854 E. Wrightstown Road, for $1.50 each. If you've got a bad maple-bacon habit, you should call ahead and order because there are usually only a few in the case.
• Bacon popcorn - Chef Travis Peters says this $4 appetizer is The Parish's best seller. Popcorn is cooked in bacon grease along with bacon, and then the kernels are finished off with butter and chives.
• Mo's Bacon Bar - Nestled in a base of silky-smooth, sweet milk chocolate are nibbles of hickory-smoked bacon, which impart a smoky saltiness that, believe it or not, pairs well with the dark stuff. $6.99 at Whole Foods and Cost Plus World Market.
• Bacon-flavored syrup from Torani - It's the essence of bacon without the actual meat. Drink up, vegetarians! Find it at Cost Plus World Market, $6.99.
• Bacon-wrapped frog legs - Frog legs, which have a texture similar to chicken, are slathered in horseradish and fresh-cracked pepper and wrapped in bacon. $8 at The Parish.
• A bacon-laced martini - On its drink menu, Jax Kitchen has a little somethin' called "The Best." The martini is made with Ketel One Vodka and olives stuffed with Nueske's bacon, which restaurateurs swear is the Cadillac of bacon. $9.50.
Bacon jam smackdown
In the beginning - well, at least as far back as November 2010 - there was The Abbey's bacon jam.
It was the perfect, unusual twist to the bacon-topped-burger concept.
Smoky with a touch of sweetness, the spread ratcheted bacon to a whole new level: bacon as condiment. Slathered into the nooks and crannies of a griddled English muffin, the bacon jam along with two beef patties, caramelized onions and melted white cheddar made for a burger like no other.
Brian Metzger, who owns The Abbey, 6960 E. Sunrise Drive, had never even heard of bacon jam when Chef Virginia "Ginny" Wooters first served it as they were testing recipes. Bacon jam won him over.
Unlike a bacon cheeseburger, in which you invariably run out of bacon long before the last bite, bacon jam ensures that smoky flavor lasts the whole way through.
"I love the idea of bacon being spreadable," says Metzger, who also owns Jax Kitchen, 7286 N. Oracle Road. "This way, each bite is brilliant."
Two years later, bacon jam has popped up on menus across town with variations at new eateries Union Public House and Noble Hops.
"It's like a bacon jam war," says Angel Fabian, corporate chef of Oro Valley's Noble Hops.
But not everybody's battling with the same weapon.
The restaurants all call the spread bacon jam, but each offers a radically different take.
It's really not surprising, though, because if you Google "bacon jam," you'll come across tons of recipes - even Martha Stewart has one - and all call for different ingredients. Some use maple syrup, others vinegar and at least one tosses in some dark chocolate. But each essentially comes down to slow-cooking bacon with these other ingredients and blending it into a thick, creamy spread.
Bacon jam is apparently similar to a traditional Austrian appetizer: Verhackert, which takes months to prepare, is savory - minced bacon, garlic and salt - and served cold with bread.
Noble Hops' bacon jam is nearly black with bits of intact bacon and an ultra-peppery kick. Fabian says he uses molasses and marmalade in the jam, which is served on a burger.
Union Public House, 4340 N. Campbell Ave. in St. Philip's Plaza, also serves its jam on a burger.
"We wanted to differentiate the Union burger," says co-owner Grant Krueger. At his place, the buns are made in-house, and it uses a proprietary grind for the meat. Union's bacon jam is similar to chutney. It's tangy with apple cider vinegar and chunky with chopped apples and bacon.
As for The Abbey, which started it all, well, the original bacon jam-topped Abbey burger's been retired. Metzger's other restaurant, Jax, now serves a Kobe burger piled with heirloom tomato slices, lettuce, whole-grain mayo, and of course, a healthy smear of bacon jam.
"It's a condiment we love," Metzger says.
And never fear, Abbey fans, bacon jam could reappear on the menu there. "We're always trying to reinvent how to use it," he adds.
The Great Bacon Experiment
S'mores - No one thought this would work. We had to beg people to try it, but once they did, they had a spiritual baconing. A nibble made them believers into the transformative power of bacon. Wrapped around a toasted marshmallow and nestled between melted chocolate and crumbly graham crackers, the bacon was the perfect crisp, salty foil to its sweet partners. Just as we were recovering from a dislocated shoulder (from patting ourselves on the back about the brilliance of this idea) and were readying to apply for a patent, we discovered not one, not two but hundreds of different ways to make bacon s'mores floating around the Internet. Dang it. Some people even made from-scratch marshmallows with bacon in them. So much for that million-dollar idea.
Brownies - Take bacon, bourbon, toasted pecans and throw 'em together with fudgy brownies. What do you get? Breakfast! Just kidding. It's totally more of a late morning, brunch thing. Still, this recipe - ripped from a year-old Food & Wine magazine (yes, it took that long to work up the nerve) - was pretty darn good. The strongest flavor came from the toasted pecans while the bacon only sent up a smoky shout when you bit into a piece. The bourbon was subtle, almost imperceptible, probably because you shouldn't use supermarket-label alcohol. For anything.
Apple pie - Tart Granny Smiths, slightly softened by oven-cooking and spiced with a lick of cinnamon, paired well with a lattice crust made of bacon. It was tricky to cut, but kitchen shears did the trick. Bacon crumbled into the filling. Bacon sprinkled on top of a regular pie crust would probably produce a better, but less photogenic, version.
Coffee - This one's a natural pairing. If you've never used a strip of bacon as a swizzle stick in your morning brew, the deep roasted, bitter bite of coffee goes quite well with the smoky, maple-ness of Torani's bacon-flavored syrup. Pour in some milk and you've practically got dessert.
Tofu - And this is why you shouldn't make sweeping generalizations. Even bacon couldn't save this stuff. Cooked alongside bacon strips and full-on swimming in their grease, the tofu crisped up but none of the fatty, bacon goodness could bust through that healthy soybean exterior. So, it still tasted like tofu. Putting crumbled bacon on top only made matters worse - there was way too much contrast between the smooshy, healthy tofu and the crunchy, salty, tastes-so-good-but-is-not-so-good-for-you bacon.

The American beef industry has had a history of disproving misperceived notions, and it seems as if it will continue to do so. While much of the focus has been on beef's connection to heart disease and cancer, NPR reported that a new study conducted by Jude Capper, an assistant professor of dairy science at Washington State University, revealed that the production of beef has been more eco-friendly than ever.
The study comes at a time when some are wondering whether this planet will be able to support a growing population. In her study, Capper pointed out that cattlemen now use 12 percent less water, 19 percent less feed, 33 percent less land and 9 percent less fossil fuel energy. "[The industry] knows far better how to care for, feed and manage cattle," she said.
Despite its positive outlook, the report has come under criticism from some of Capper's peers. While several environmentalists agree that beef production is now more effective, there are questions concerning other methods that are used in the process. Antibiotics are being increasingly used to treat cows that are forced to rely on a diet that consists of simply corn. This, in turn, has a harmful effect on people who consume such kind of tainted beef, said Chuck Benbrook, chief scientist at The Organic Center.
Some critics insist that beef production is still inefficient compared to other kinds of meat production. Doug Gurian-Sherman, a senior scientist at the Union of Concerned Scientists, said that Capper's study fails to address the aftereffects of beef production. "Feedlots often put way too much manure on nearby crops - more than can be absorbed - and it goes through into the groundwater or runs into streams," he said. Capper, whose study was partly funded by the beef industry, said that it is difficult to check the effects of cattle manure on groundwater. Still, she said, farms now release less phosphorus and nitrogen.
The Environmental Protection Agency is already working on a proposal that would further regulate water usage in animal feeding operations. The new rules would require such operations to provide detailed water quality data that would help the agency determine whether the operations are adhering to standard procedures. As the agency, factories and farms become more aware of their responsibilities to the environment, consumers are now looking for "greener" ways to eat meat products like beef.

Black Pearl
Appeared from Thursday, September 26, 1940 to Sunday, October 27, 1940
Anagram Name: Erad is "dare" spelled backward
Black Pearl's real name was Pearl Erad. She was an inventor, bomb maker, gang leader, thief and builder of war machines. Black Pearl was a tall, slim, dark-haired woman, whose gang stole American war secrets and government drafting blueprints and plans. From the stolen plans, Back Pearl built models of war machines and, when they were perfected, she sold the perfected blueprints to foreign nations. Her gang had a proving grounds in a secret mountain hideaway.
Black Pearl's gang included Horace and Emil, and all her men wore black berets and worked bare-chested. Tracy and Pat, following up a lead on a suspected bomb maker, found Black Pearl in her apartment. Before they could act, Black Pearl got the drop on them and scratched Tracy's face with an oriental weapon called a Ka-wag.
Tracy and Pat found themselves prisoners of Black Pearl, and she forced them to accompany her and Horace to her secret hideaway. They became testers of a new machine she had built that she called a flying submarine. It was a land tank that went beneath the water, flew in the air and was powered by "liquid air".
Black Pearl and a mysterious, bewhiskered foreign agent, watched from afar as Tracy and Pat, stripped to the waist, entered the tank and submerged it in a lake under sixty feet of water. Tracy found a huge aqueduct pipe underwater and pounded out a Morse code "help" message on it with a hammer. Tracy's message was picked up by a watchman at a pumping station, who notified the police.
Back at Black Pearl's, Tracy and Pat were testing the tank against a flame thrower when the police arrived. Black Pearl chased a police car with the flame thrower, but realized that she had to escape so she, Horace and the foreign agent ran to Black Pearl's underground hanger to fly away in her airplane. However, the foreign agent stopped them with his gun, took off his disguise and announced that he was a G-man. Tracy and Pat came rushing in and realized that the G-man was their old friend, Jim Trailer. Black Pearl and Horace were taken away to jail.

Kaikado Tea Caddy | Product Launch
The Kaikado tea caddy was first crafted by Kiyosuke Kaikado in the Edo era, when it was commonplace to store tea in jars made from china and earthenware.
The tea ceremony, which is known to have originated from Kyoto, was an essential part of everyday life. Kaikado first designed the caddy as a way of respecting such traditions, which left a lasting impression on both locals and tea dealers.
Kaikado tailor made each tea caddy to meet the needs of every individual and to provide a means of storage for various types of tea leaves. The precision inherent in the hand-made process of the tea caddies is unique to Kaikado. Soon after, Kaikado tea caddies were not only used in Kyoto but also throughout Western Japan.
Otokichi succeeded the craft in 1916 and was said to be the most able craftsman of all generations. Leading the third generation, Hikojiro continued to create Kaikado tea caddies through difficult times during World War II when materials were scarce and tools were sent away to the battlefield. In the postwar era, there was an advent of cheaply made tea caddies in Japan. Dissatisfied with this, the fourth generation successor, Shouchi, continued to make tea caddies in the traditional manner, at the same time developing a caddy made from copper. Seiji, in the fifth generation, began to create portable tea caddies suited to the individual user. Seiji also developed a caddy made from brass.
Its double walled design retains the flavour and quality of freshly picked tealeaves as well as coffee beans, herbs and spices. Each tea caddy is hand built to last generations of use and will develop a rich patina over time.
Following a meticulous crafting process that involves 140 steps, the dye and mould from the founding generation are still in use today and these hand-made tin tea caddies have remained true to the designs established by Kiyosuke Kaikado.

It comes as no secret that Google has more money than they know what to do with. This has led to some rather interesting side projects including self-driving cars and one closer on the horizon, Google Glasses. Several rumored features have been mentioned to enhance interactivity between environment and human such as navigation and real-time information provision. This will come courtesy of an Android-based operating system and low-resolution camera which will make technology seen in movies such as Predator and Terminator a reality. While the eyewear is meant to be a part-time accompaniment, you can assume some will not take heed and nerd out to the max.

by Fred Tasker @ The Buffalo News
on September 3, 2014
In a restaurant in Buenos Aires, I ordered a "half" parrillada, so they plunked down only about five pounds of beef on the hibachi grill on my table. There were a half-dozen cuts of Argentina's rich and chewy grass-fed beef – steaks, chops, blood sausages, kabobs … and a curious off-white rectangle cut about the size and shape of a box of matches.
"What's this?" I asked.
"Señor, it is the udder."
The waiter beamed. My wife paled. My 8-year-old daughter made her lunch the french fries. I cut a little piece and chewed. It was tough and flavorless – utterly unlike the tender, juicy rest of the feast. Another life adventure chalked up.
But the wine. Oh, the wine was Malbec, the redolent, blue-velvet wine that has put Argentina on the map. It smelled and tasted of black sweet cherries and dark chocolate, with ample body and ripe tannins that gave it a silky finish.
Sipping Malbec all by itself is popular because it's like biting into one of those indulgent chocolate-cherry bonbons by Brach's. U.S. sippers in the influential 18-to-34 range flock to it for the same reason they like the Italian sparkling wine called Prosecco – it's cool, and it's cheap.

One of the preeminent poets of her generation, Susan Howe is known for innovative verse that crosses genres and disciplines in its theoretical underpinnings and approach to history. Layered and allusive, her work draws on early American history and primary documents, weaving quotation and image into poems that often revise standard typography. Howe's interest in the visual possibilities of language can be traced back to her initial interest in painting: Howe earned a degree from the Boston Museum School of Fine Arts in 1961, and enjoyed some success with gallery shows in New York. In addition to painting, Howe studied acting in Dublin. From an artistic, intellectual family, Howe's mother Mary Manning was an actress and her father a law professor at Harvard; Howe's sister Fanny Howe is also an acclaimed poet.
Howe's first success as a poet came in the early 1970s. Her work is often grouped with Language writing for its deconstructionist attitude toward language, and disregard for conventional literary formalities. Howe has sometimes placed her verse upside-down, or crossed out parts of it, or let the words overlap one another, characteristics that may have to do with her early training as a visual artist. Some critics have likened her poems to paintings on the page, the large gaps between words providing white spaces that are meant to convey as much meaning as the words themselves. Her work is also marked by plays upon words that possess phonetic similarities. Stephen Paul Martin noted that "by asking us to focus on the tangible presence of language itself—on the morphemes, phonemes and graphemes that words are made of—Howe moves us away from our tendency to think in abstractions, easing us into the motion and fabric of a verbal space that has not been reduced to a mere zone of representation. We are asked to see and hear the shapes and sounds of the words instead of reading through them to what they supposedly refer to. Our sense of discursive or narrative continuity shatters, replaced with the endless Protean linkages that give language its living power."
According to Bruce Campbell, "Susan Howe is a kind of post-structuralist visionary." Campbell went on to explain: "This means that, while attuned to a transcendental possibility, she is fully aware of how mediated both language and consciousness are. This awareness leads her to acknowledge and investigate history, but, recognizing, as she does, the "infinite miscalculation of history," she cannot accept history as truth. Yet, truth be told, neither can she ignore history." Over a career spanning forty years, Howe has returned again and again to the problems and possibilities of history. Thematically, much of her work also centers on themes of existence, remembering, and the unique position of the female gender in relation to history and the written word.
With her first book, Hinge Picture (1974), Howe speaks from the standpoint of an unknown author who existed at some point in time on the bridge between prehistory and history. From this primeval writer may have come the Bible, and Howe's verse relates a tale that integrates mythological sources, ancient texts, and classical writings. Throughout the 1970s Howe continued to enjoy success with literary-press editions of her work. Volumes published during this time include Chanting at the Crystal Sea (1975), Secret History of the Dividing Line (1978), and The Liberties (1980). In The Liberties, Howe examines the relationship between Jonathan Swift and Esther (Hester) Johnson who served as a muse of sorts to the eighteenth-century Anglo-Irish satirical novelist. The role Johnson may have played in Swift's literary output can only be conjectured, and Howe brings Johnson to life at the end of "The Liberties," making Swift a ghost and reducing him to an invisible presence as well.
Howe's next collections, including Defenestration of Prague (1983)and My Emily Dickinson (1985) are among her most celebrated. Defenestration of Prague subtly comments on the division between Ireland and Northern Ireland, through the title poem's restaging of an incident in Prague in 1617, when Catholic clerics were thrown from windows to their deaths by supporters of Calvinism. It marked the beginning of the Thirty Years' War, just one of the many conflicts between Protestant and Catholic forces on European soil during this era. Howe's use of history as a prism through which to view the present is typical; as she has noted in interviews, history is for her an ongoing subconscious thread. My Emily Dickinson examines Dickinson and the constrictions under which she wrote—as a thinking, opinionated, and educated woman in an era which viewed these talents with suspicion at best. Marjorie Perloff, writing in American Poetry Review, wrote that "it is impossible to read My Emily Dickinson without being swept along on its powerful lyric current. Howe's aim is not so much to 'explain' Dickinson's meanings as to relive them."
Howe's fascination with historical texts, and the realm of history itself, is manifest throughout her later work as well. A Bibliography of the King's Book, or, Eikon Basilke (1989)takes as its departure a manuscript ascribed to the English regent Charles I, whose reign launched a seventeenth-century civil war in England and ultimately resulted in his beheading. The treatise that circulated after his death, the Eikon Basilke, was rumored to be the king's own writings, but later was determined to be a literary fake. Later collections explore more fully Howe's ongoing interest in the history of New England. In Singularities (1990), Howe examines the Indian Wars in New England during the colonial era, as well as the subsequent settling and population of the continent. The work binds three earlier poems: "Thorow" (a phonetic misspelling of Henry David Thoreau), "Scattering As Behavior toward Risk," and "Articulation of Sound Forms in Time." This last work, first published alone in 1987, is loosely based on the diaries of a New England minister lost in the wilderness during the era. Subtly connecting the plight of the minister with the role of the female poet in the English language, Howe's analysis, explained Sara Fisher in Belles Lettres, "is of an America that defines itself in a distorted mirror of history—one that believes in the mirage of progress through the conquest of nature and the creation of heroes and mythical male figures who cannot see themselves as finite." With these restrictions, Fisher notes, a woman poet—such as Dickinson—is the ultimate outsider.
Howe's most recent work includes Pierce-Arrow (1999), The Midnight (2003), and Souls of Labadie Tract (2007). Pierce-Arrow uses Howe's characteristic blend of historical scholarship and experimental poetics to investigate the figure of Charles S. Pierce, an American logician and philosopher whose work on pragmatism predated that of William James. Using an incredible array of source materials, Howe crafts three long sequences that circulate around Pierce's autobiography and the mysterious figure of his wife, as well as including references to diverse sources including Dickens, Schiller and Husserl. Brian Lennon in his Boston Review piece on the book noted that "Howe is staking everything on the venture that theory and practice, artifice and application, are perpetually messily entwined." In The Midnight Howe uses archives, family documents, photograph, found text and lyric to investigate her compositional process, Irish ancestry and the life of the nineteenth century landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. Reviewing The Midnight in Jacket, Stephen Collins called the book "a fitting addition to Howe's continuing excursus on the American literary wilderness," adding that it "extends what is one of the most unusual and dispersed autobiographies in contemporary letters — the reading of a life 'through words of others.'" Returning to the religious landscape of early New England, Howe uses an obscure Utopian sect as the catalyst for Souls of Labadie Tract. Andrew Zawacki in the Boston Review described the project as "an excavation of site and citation, of quasi-utopian polis and poetry 'half-smothered in local history.'" Howe's other recent works include the collaboration with artist James Welling That This (2010), the poetry pamphlet for New Directions Sorting Facts, or Nineteen Ways of Looking at a Marker (2013), and the full-length collection Spontaneous Particulars: The Telepathy of Archives (2014). with photographs byHowe has also collaborated with musician David Grubbs on a number of sound pieces and performances, including Frolic Architecture (2011) and Woodslippercounterclatter (2014).
In addition to her numerous books of poetry and critique of Emily Dickinson, Howe has written a collection of essays on literary themes. The Birth-Mark: Unsettling the Wilderness in American Literary History (1993) was named one of the "International Books of the Year" in the Times Literary Supplement in 1993. Examining the difference between an original manuscript, with its revisions and notes in margins the very evidence of the creative process—and its tidier, revised version that clings neatly to the parameters of a page, Howe looks into the work of colonial writers such as Anne Hutchinson and Cotton Mather, then moves into the works of Dickinson and Herman Melville. Her book, wrote Eric Murphy Selinger in Parnassus, "fleshes out the figure of the Poet who stands behind Howe's poems—a figure who is, I have come to believe, at the heart of her achievement—and it gives a spirited lesson in how important essays, introductions, and interviews are to the poet's otherwise uncomfortably rigorous, sola scriptura, purer-than-Puritan oeuvre."
An idiosyncratic, important, and increasingly influential American poet, Howe has received numerous honors and awards for her work, including two American Book Awards from the Before Columbus Foundation and a Guggenheim fellowship; she has been a distinguished fellow at the Stanford Institute for Humanities, as well as the Anna-Maria Kellen Fellow at the American Academy in Berlin. She taught for many years at the State University of New York-Buffalo, where she held the Samuel P. Capen Chair of Poetry and the Humanities. In 2011, Susan Howe was awarded the Bollingen Prize in American Poetry from Yale University.

Welcome to Issue 3 of Sparks & Kindling, a periodic digest of the things that have been fuelling our thinking at Where There's Smoke over the last few weeks. This issue has a bit of a theme focusing on the mind and the medical. We hope you find it stimulating and hopefully useful too - let us know your thoughts.
20 cognitive biases that screw up your decisions
When you read this you may start to believe it's a wonder any of us make any decent decisions at all. But as you'll quickly realise, that's its own cognitive bias coming into play! More usefully this is great groundwork before you take new ideas to your board/funders/investors - consider which biases the various individuals tend towards and plan how you'll be able to challenge or assuage them. And in the meantime, well it could be the new bingo card for business meetings.
Don't just finish your product, evolve it
A couple of key biases in the last article sadly lead many great innovations sitting on the shelf of never launched, as the powers that be ask for more information or confirmation of perfection of the idea on the starting blocks. This article argues you need more of a jazz mindset and that to harness innovation you need to abandon all efforts to imagine a perfect end product, rather what you really need is a good one that evolves. There are a few other good takeaways using the jazz versus classical analogy in this thoughtful and long-form article.
We're more honest with our phones than with our doctors
At the moment we're in the early days of mobile health apps, focussing on their capability to make informed medical conversations happen at a time to suit the user. Interestingly, this article focuses on how our phones and mobile devices can enable us to have a much better, more intimate and more accurate understanding of our bodies, leading to better and earlier diagnoses. Partnering with the right apps can also be a great source of valuable and surprising insights that you might not otherwise uncover as the Grindr example in the article brings to life.
And finally...
Have a migraine via virtual reality
There's a lot of talk about virtual reality and the new VR rollercoaster ride sounds like fun, but for the most part, it all feels a little bit once and done. Now this doesn't sound fun at all, but it does sound useful and a way to walk in someone else's shoes so you can design and solve for them better. From next month, if you have a Google Cardboard, you can experience a migraine in VR yourself – now that's something to look forward to, isn't it...

Alternative Health and
Nutritional Healing
"A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings"
"There is only one good, knowledge, and one evil, ignorance." This statement should guide us in all of our actions, especially where our health is concerned. Too many of us do not have the slightest idea of how to maintain good health. When illness strikes, we rely on our doctors to cure us. What we fail to realize is that "the cure" comes from within. Nature has provided us with a wondrous immune system, and all we have to do is take proper care of this inner healing force.
I have spent numerous hours researching the best sites for all of your nutritional needs. I also have
Pet formulas
and links for your 4 legged friend's needs.
I have "specialized" products based upon individual needs. If you have any questions you would like to ask or if you have a particular health question, please do not hesitate to contact me. I answer all email personally.

Anti-Poverty Week 2017: Making history at the ACOSS Congress?
At the height of the neoliberal period in Australia, Anti-Poverty week was always a somewhat dismal reminder of the absence of any serious political agenda on the subject. But are people listening now? And are the moving beyond listening to action? In this post, Whisperer Paul Smyth tackles these questions and more.
At the height of the neoliberal period in Australia, Anti-Poverty week was always a somewhat dismal reminder of the absence of any serious political agenda on the subject. The frustration among advocates was well captured by Peter Saunders (2005) in his book, The Poverty Wars: people, he wrote, were no longer listening to the '"p" word'! Over a decade later and with the demise of neoliberalism we may be wondering will they listen now? After all they did once. What made poverty centre stage then? What pushed it to the margins?
The poverty agenda achieved a pride of place in the 1960s and 70s. A spate of books in the US (e.g. Harrington's The Other America; the UK (ego Townsend's (1979) Poverty in the United Kingdom; and Australia (e.g. the 1972 report on poverty by ACOSS and Peter Hollingworth's The Powerless Poor sold out in days). What propelled this rediscovery of poverty to political centre stage was its stark challenge to myths of all boats rising amid post-war affluence.
It was also reinforced by global concerns that economic growth in developing countries was not translating into integral human development for all. This challenge to the growth model was epitomised in a new UN development agenda called 'Growth with Redistribution'. Importantly, this agenda shaped the advocacy of a newly invigorated ACOSS at the time.
So, if we want to understand the political energy and positive enthusiasm surrounding the resulting Henderson (1972-) led Commonwealth Commission of Inquiry into Poverty initiated by the Liberal Government we need to situate it in this wider context of a global movement for a new economic model within which growth translates into human development for all.
So, what shifted poverty to the political margins by 2005? It was, of course, the change of economic model. Neoconservative politics restored faith in the rationality of markets, the desirability of increased inequality as an incentive for wealth creation, and 'trickle down' as the best way to help those at the bottom. Sixties style hopes of radical social change to eliminate poverty reduced to a mere welfare agenda. With 'the economy' left to the market, social politics descended into that rather desperate tussle we see today of Neocons intent on ridding Australia of the 'poison' of welfare jousting with community advocates begging a few more dollars to raise income support above carefully measured poverty lines. Not many have been listening to the 'p' word.
Crude and broad brush this analysis might be but it ought to focus our minds on the importance of the wider policy framework through which we advocate for an end to poverty. And in this light, I think that 2017 may well be emerging as a turning point for the poverty agenda. As I explained in my recent talk for St Vincent de Paul's Social Justice in the City, ideas of 'inclusive and sustainable development' have informed the recent Catholic Bishops' statement on the economy, Everyone's Business and are achieving a wider currency among trade unions, community organisations, and indeed the Australian Labour Party.
These ideas have coalesced around the UN Agenda 2030 and this is why I think the upcoming ACOSS Congress holds such promise. With the strongest echoes of its platforms on integral human development in the 1970s it has geared its Congress this year to thinking through what this new economic and social model might mean for us here in Australia. The UN has asked each country to take up this dialogue an effort to create a 'new social contract' for the 21st century. Who knows? History might well come to see the ACOSS Congress 2017 as a turning point on this journey.

Home Invasion
I wanted the garage renovation. In fact, I think I'm the one who suggested it in the first place. The workers have been here less than a month. They are not technically inside my house. Still, I feel invaded. Husband and I sat down for a quiet first cup of coffee this morning before 8 AM, and lo and behold. A truck full of workers pulled into the yard. It's now 2 PM, and they are still here. It's Saturday, for crying out loud. I know. I should be happy they are showing up and doing the work. I will be so glad when they are done!
The room is progressing nicely. It actually looks like a room now and not a nasty garage. The sheetrock is up. The doors and windows are installed. They are mudding the sheetrock today and hopefully will be doing the tile work, installing the cabinetry, and painting by the end of the week. I think the entire room will be done by the end of the week. That will just leave the pole building (which should be started next week) and closing up the door leading from daughter's bathroom to the den to be done.
I went button shopping this week and was a bit disappointed not to find much selection. Hancock had the most, but still nothing too special. I ended up buying some lavendar bow shaped buttons and some lady bug shaped buttons for future projects. I found white bunny shaped buttons at Wal Mart for the BSJ. I've sewn them on but still need to block the sweater. I also finished up a spiral rib hat to go with it last night. Pictures will come within a few days--or after I get the blocking done.
Daughter and I made a quick trip to the LYS this morning to pick up a copy of EZ's Knitters Almanac. That was the only one of her books I did not have. After seeing Valerie's baby sweater, I had to pick up this book! I got a couple of skeins of Dreambaby in off white to make the sweater. The sweater won't be for anyone in particular. I'm going to hang onto it in the event that one day I become a grandma! Please, stop laughing! :)
I also treated myself to these goodies from SchoolHouse Press. I read about the Baby Surplice Jacket on Knitter's Review and was intrigued by it. The only place I have found the pattern is in Wool Gatherings/Spun Out. Of course I ordered the entire set!

Samsung began its Galaxy Note 8 press conference in New York in the US on Thursday by vowing that it had addressed the Note 7 battery's US$5.4 billion (R71 billion) disaster, which resulted in some of these phones exploding. For their part, fans declared their loyalty to the brand on social media.
The South Korean electronics giant has installed a new eight-point battery safety check on all new devices, following the Note 7 fiasco that led to a global recall and cost the company dearly in profits.
The newest Galaxy boasts a 6.3-inch screen with a wraparound infinity display, first seen on the Samsung S8. It is arguably the most interesting feature on any mobile device in recent years.

director hotel
Studio GAIA channeled its long-lasting design for Director El Golf. Staying true to the use of prominent resources local to the area of Chile, we used copper which is emphasized throughout the property. Copper achieves balancing the delicate complexity of embrace and reflection. Minimal furniture other than the necessary is used in spaces to keep the consistent flow of air and light. The combination of airy space, neutral tone porcelain tiles for flooring, and copper allow light to bounce off the reflective surfaces emitting a warm glow creating a glamorous and affluent atmosphere. Additional warm lighting is used in public spaces to set the tone of exclusivity and modernity.

A Texas man arrested Friday by the Cambridge Post of the State Highway Patrol will be in court on Friday for a preliminary hearing in his case.
Troopers said they stopped with a disabled vehicle on Interstate 77 near Old Washington last Friday. The troopers said they detected a strong odor of burnt marijuana coming from the vehicle. The suspect, 35-year-old Ernst Reis, of Plano, Texas was asked out of the vehicle and during a pat down troopers discovered two knives.
A search of the vehicle led troopers to a loaded 9mm semi automatic handgun with 55 rounds, a loaded .40 semi-automatic handgun with 95 rounds, two grams of marijuana and other paraphernalia, syringes, two grams of hashish, unidentified red and orange pills, fifteen vials of steroids and a half a gram of heroin.
Reis was taken to the Guernsey County Jail. He posted a bond of $5,000, Tuesday. He faces a charge of possession of heroin and having an improvised hand firearm in a motor vehicle.

Winter Wreath | Felt Wreath Tutorial/
We began to deck the halls in my home for Christmas shortly after stuffing ourselves with a traditional Thanksgiving meal. I put up wintery decor from items I have been collecting through the years or made myself.
My rules for home decorating are: support handmade/small businesses, thrift it or make it.
This year I didn't have much time to create anything new - you know the whole new baby and running a business thing doesn't offer up much free time. But I did have an idea for a felt wreath that I wanted to make.
I strolled the aisles of Jo-Ann's looking for a wreath and some felt. Felt is the best fabric to work with because it requires no work after cutting it (fringe free).
You can make this wreath in an hour. It's simple and fun. I stuck with two shades of green felt, but I think shades of hot pink would look so great in the summer!
- felt (I purchased 1/8 per color of felt)
- 8-inch grapevine wreath
- hot glue gun
- scissors
- spool of thread (I liked a vibrant red with the green felt)
- sewing machine
Flower delivery by BloomNation inspired me to share my ideas on year round wreaths. And this wreath is one that can be used during any season.
To create more dimension in the leaf, fold the felt pieces before cutting to create to identical pieces. Cut the shape of leaf you desire and create six pieces per color - or more if you wish. I created 12 pieces total all varying in shapes and sizes.
Once the pieces are cut, sew the two pieces together and cut the extra thread.
Hot glue the pieces on the wreath. I kept the leaves on one side of the wreath, but you could make more and add them all the way around.
I added more of a winter look by adding those white holly like things - not sure what they are called. I had them at home, but I know craft stores sell them. Don't hot glue them, simply stick them in the vine wreath so they can be easily removed and replaced with something else as the seasons change!

Cape Town, South Africa: Hardik Pandya went on a thrilling counter-attack but could not prevent South Africa from finishing on top on the second day of the first Test at Newlands on Saturday.
Pandya scored a swashbuckling 93, then took two wickets, but South Africa built on a first innings lead of 77 and were 65 for two at the close, an overall lead of 142 on a pitch which has helped fast bowlers.
India had slumped to 92 for seven in reply to South Africa's first innings total of 286 when Pandya found a determined ally in Bhuvneshwar Kumar.
While 24-year-old Pandya went for his shots, Kumar took 34 balls to score his first run but then played some fine strokes of his own, scoring 25 in an eighth-wicket partnership of 99 which more than doubled their team's total.
The partnership frustrated the South African bowlers and kept them in the field long enough for Dale Steyn to give South Africa another injury scare.
Steyn, in his first Test match since suffering a fractured shoulder in Australia in November 2014, had taken two for 51 when he pulled up with a bruised heel and left the field three balls into his 18th over.
After treatment in the dressing room he was sent for a scan.
Steyn would have hoped to end Pandya's innings -- and hasten the demise of the Indian batting effort -- long before he was called upon to bowl a fourth spell in what was his longest and most intensive bowling effort since his shoulder injury.
Pandya struggled against Steyn early in his innings. He survived on a review after being given out caught behind off the fast bowler on five and was dropped by Dean Elgar at gully off Steyn when he had 15.
Pandya, 24, confirmed the reputation he earned as a dashing stroke player, first in limited overs cricket and more recently when he scored 178 runs off 168 balls in three Test innings in Sri Lanka last year, including 108 off 96 deliveries in the third Test in Kandy.
He hit 14 fours on Saturday as well as a six off left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj's second ball of the match. He charged out to the next ball and should have been stumped with his score on 71.
Kumar was caught behind off Morne Morkel when Pandya was on 85.
If anything, Pandya stepped up his aggressive attitude after the dismissal of Kumar, swinging at a succession of short-pitched deliveries from Morkel and Kagiso Rabada.
His luck ran out when he flashed at a lifting ball from Rabada and was caught behind.
Rabada finished with three for 34, while Vernon Philander took three for 33. Morkel and Steyn shared the other four wickets.
Pandya's innings was in contrast to the struggles of most of the other Indian batsmen who were kept under pressure by South Africa's barrage of four fast bowlers.
Chetashwar Pujara laboured to 26 off 92 balls, while Rohit Sharma took 59 balls to score 11.
South Africa made a good start to their second innings, with Aiden Markram and Dean Elgar putting on 52 for the first wicket before Pandya dismissed both openers in successive overs.
