Imagining Kiev
Susan Smith Nash
I asked them to lock me up in a cave.
The truth was, I was terribly afraid of the surface world, and I could no longer endure my terrible nightmares. In a cave, no one could get me. In a cave, no one would even know where I was.
So, I begged them to inter me in a vault with the other doomed souls -- I had lost my will to live, perhaps because I never managed to understand the trick of survival, and I never quite overcame the creeping conviction that I somehow deserved any negative things life dealt me. I would be alone. In the hole, with the sick, sour comfort in the promise of solitary confinement. That's what you do when you're a people-pleaser and you can't say "no." You finally give up & ask someone to bury you alive, PLEASE, so you just won't have to satisfy people's unreasonable demands.
My friend Vitya had arrived in the U.S. with 37 cents in his pocket and a tourist visa. Now he had a thriving computer programming business. He's the one who told me about the caves in Kiev -- the ones where monks lived for the rest of their lives, never emerging, never coming up for air or light, never seeing the images of the ones they owed their identity to, never touching, or embracing, or even puking on life.
"Was their cave like a big catacomb?" I asked.
"Not exactly," he replied. "They lived there. They buried them in another part."
Earlier that year, I visited a man-made cave excavated by monks in Antigua, Guatemala. I traveled through the cathedral and monastery that were being uncovered after 200 years of entombment after a major earthquake leveled the fabulously ornate buildings. There was a narrow, dark staircase leading to a cool, horrible room alit with flickering candles and glass cases. Above us, attractively-groomed waiters were setting up for a wedding reception.
"This is the monks' crypt," said the guide. I read the plaques on the wall -- PUTREFACTORIUM. In front of me was a wax replica of a dead monk, who, in the 17th-century, would be laid out for some predetermined time before they placed him in his vault in the wall. The wax monk's skin was green.
"Por que verde?" I asked. (Why green?)
"Because he is putrifying," said the guide. "We try to be authentic with every detail."
I wrote in my diary: "In the 18th century, the monks were small, weren't they?"
I also wrote: "The locals say don't go to the local market. It could be dangerous, especially if you're an American tourist."
Thanks to my bleached blonde hair, I looked like a typical North American tourist. I spoke Spanish, though, and my literary vocabulary was excellent. That meant my street vocabulary wasn't worth shit. I wanted to live in South America, but circumstances would not allow it. The truth was, I wouldn't commit. I didn't want the abject poverty of the immigrant, and the sudden relegation to second-class citizenry.
I was glad the monk was made of wax. It reminded me of a visit to a Paraguayan funeral home ("velatorio") to pay last respects to a young man killed in a tragic Semana Santa car accident. Ordinarily they would have interred him right away, but no one could locate his father, who lived in Argentina and was traveling. They didn't want to bury him until his father was there. So, a week dragged on. The relatives, in order to adhere to their beliefs, had to stay with the body. To stay awake, they recited rosaries and drank espresso coffee. Refreshments at a wake? Who could drink espresso when the smell of rotting flesh and putrefying carnations filled the air? I didn't understand that the function of the coffee was simply to keep the family members awake for their vigil, and I was rather appalled at the entire concept. His body was already discolored and bloating. I, for one, was nauseous, light-headed, on the verge of fainting.
His mother was clawing at her arms. Her only other son had died a year ago, almost to the day, in a similar car accident. Later, she begged to be buried with her son, and had to be restrained as she tried to crawl into the crypt.
"Did you ever wonder about their lives?" I asked Vitya. "The monks in the caves."
Vitya was watching a documentary on Korean girls used as "comfort women" for Japanese troops during World War II in China. Vitya was brilliant. He was quiet. He had gotten away from a place he perceived as hopeless, and for that I respected him. I also respected his intelligence and the scars he bore with him -- the memories of terrible uncertainty and hard times. Some people turned profligate under the influence of such memories. Other people became cautious, even cruel. He was none of those things.
"Fear of life is not the same as fear of death," said Vitya.
When I thought of him, I also contemplated my fantasy of conducting a little experiment -- going to another country with virtually nothing -- only a laptop and a c.v. and one small suitcase -- and seeing if I could land something. Of course, I would rent out my house in the meantime, sell off everything I didn't need, and put everything into Treasury bills. I would give myself a year. If I couldn't make it, I'd go back, my material things virtually unchanged, but my inner life much richer -- my survival skills much more well developed.
Who was I kidding, though? I could have done all those things, but practical considerations always impinged on the fragile superstructure of the dream, and I came crashing back to reality remembering I had a son, and that, perhaps more importantly, it's not so simple to re-invent oneself, or to create a different life for oneself. Even when I was young, I somehow resisted becoming a missionary or joining the Peace Corps. I knew I would no longer be mistress of my own destiny, but simple fodder for someone's ideology. My parents would pay in the end.
He had done it, though. He had managed to come here and reinvent himself, even carving a niche for himself with a tight circle of friends. He spent a lot of time in escapist games and fantasy role-playing activities. For someone else, that would indicate a certain pathological aversion to reality. In his case, it indicated an inner strength, and it was a window into the source of his strength -- his ability to dream, to have a vision, to withstand the assault of annoying "surface noise" and details that tended to paralyze typical Americans.
And here I was, the soft American, with every card stacked in my favor, but with terrible visions of caves and rotting bodies in Latin American velatorios and putrefactoriums. The smug, the rational, the optimistic – everything that made me "American" did me no good here. Meaning and reason came unglued, like walls melting like wax. The sure, secure touch of long, thin fingers on my interior walls, aroused me like skulls placed along a wall in the Guatemalan cathedral.
I was stuck in some sort of postmodernist theory gap – and for me, postmodernism was incapable of dealing with the past millennium and its inability to position itself clearly. What was it we feared? Apocalypse or utopia? Democracy or brave new world? Militias or Bakunian anarchists sitting in their smoking jackets sipping a lovely merlot saying they'll blow things up, but at the same time fantasizing that the Russian aristocracy will someday return, this time without hemophilia. Vitya's long, slender fingers reminded me he was part of the Russian intellectual elite and that his position had been extremely privileged. There was a sort of Socialist aristocracy because privilege transcends ideology. Why? I didn't know. I was afraid to ask.
Time passed. My nightmares ebbed and flowed, probably in conjunction with lunar cycles. I was preparing a cucumber and tomato salad with Vitya. He was chopping a cucumber into a pile of mush.
"I got a call from INS," he said.
"Why are you nervous?" I asked. "You've had a green card for two years now."
"I've been successful. There are people who are jealous," he said.
"In the Ukraine?" I asked.
"No," he said. He put down his knife and looked at me. "They're jealous. Here. Don't you think it would be easy to get rid of the competition by having me be deported?"
"I'm sorry," I said. I often filled the air with foolish, self-effacing words just to maintain a wall between us. I didn't want to be too close. It was something about that strange victim / victimizer equation in his eyes. Now, when I wanted to say something reassuring, I didn't couldn't say anything at all. Did he know he made me feel vulnerable? Did it matter? He was the vulnerable one. And still, I just wanted to protect myself.
"Let's go out to eat," I said. "Lift your mood."
I decided on a Mexican restaurant with loud, roaming mariachis so I wouldn't have to talk. The American woman at the bar where we waited for a table to open up was already drunk and lonely for conversation in English. "Pour me a scotch, honey. I want to talk about when I sang the blues for a living."
I said nothing. My St. Benedict medal was hot against my sweaty skin. I wasn't interested in what she had to say. I realized I was reeking of fear and uncertainty. When did doubt begin to have an odor?
"Could you live in a cave?" I asked him.
"No." His answer wasn't too surprising.
"Have you ever been afraid to go outside? Afraid you'll be put in jail? And then, when that happens, does your own life become your own private prison?" I was finally asking him the questions that had been tormenting me.
"Thanks a lot," he said. "I get a call from the INS fascists, and you start talking about jail. How is that supposed to make me feel?
We sat together and drank a nice Australian shiraz. We looked out the window. The restaurant suddenly seemed bitterly cold. Ambient temperature was too low for the Australian red to be at its best. A small candle flickered. It was the same shadowy ambience as in that collapsed cathedral in Antigua, Guatemala. But we were in the U.S. and I wanted to talk about the caves in Kiev.
"I'm sorry. I wasn't thinking about that," I said.
"That's nothing new. You're just all about thinking only of yourself," said Vitya.
"It's the Day of the Dead," I said.
"Now you're talking INS talk again. I don't like South America."
Día de los Muertos. Last year, it was as tangible and immediate as the sting of insults, the harsh hurt of verbal abuse. I put a bottle of whiskey on the grave of my fourth ex-husband and shed a few tears for his stupid, doomed ass. He couldn't help it that he hurt. I had to understand that the way he stung me with his put-downs was not as bad as how he mutilated his own psyche with his rage.
Eventually I got away. He died.
"Vitya, order some vodka." I said. I looked at him smoking his Marlboro Lights and broodingly contemplating the lights above the bar. He fascinated me. He had dreams, courage, and the ability to endure doubt and an uncertain future. He wasn't really Ukrainian. Russian, but with roots in Antigua.
The restaurant was smoky. I was uncomfortable and cold. More than anything, I was hungry. And then I thought of the new dawn, the new dawn of signified / signifier erasures, of bringing words down to the skin & teeth of resemblance. The candle flickered in the chill. There was a damp draft coming somewhere from the stairwell.
We didn't really have much more to say to each other that night.
For some strange reason, this made me feel a wild, terrible emotion welling up from deep inside. Was it dangerous? I hoped so.
We became friends, and talked about making it more permanent. His ex-roommate got deported after his paranoid schizophrenia got out of hand. My friend continued to be successful, but his success made him cautious and fearful. Instead of perturbing him, it manifested in me in the form of strange dreams.
However, that didn't bother me – it gave me something to think about the next day. And, then I began to fear I would be deported, even though I was born in the U.S. and possessed U.S. citizenship. Explain that one, I remarked to him.
Eventually, it all went away after we went to Kiev and I saw that the monks' caves were not putrefactoriums at all, but little underground apartment houses for medieval types. It was disappointing to be so obsessed with the gothic.

Kids my not be able to dive in Florida for long
That waiver you sign when you rent gear, go on a boat dive or a dive-master dive often has a clause to limit your right to sue the business owner. If your child is the customer, you have sign for them.
However, the Florida Supreme Court in a 4 to 1 decision ruled (11/11/08) that you can no longer sign away your child's right to sue. Chief Justice Peggy Quince wrote, "It cannot be presumed that a parent who has decided to voluntarily risk a minor child's physical well-being is acting in the child's best interest."
The lawyer for the defendant, Richard Lee Barret said, ""It's going to have a devastating effect not only on their businesses, but children's ability to participate …"

On Saturday, September 19, 2009, The Pastel Society of New Hampshire opened its 2009 National Juried Show "It's Pastel" at the Discover Portsmouth Center Gallery, 8 Islington Street, Portsmouth, New Hampshire. More than 250 works were submitted for inclusion in the exhibition, of which 77 were selected.
The event was attended by approximately 100 artists and their families, friends, members of the New Hampshire group, and many arts patrons. The evening was capped by the presentation of nearly $6,000 in awards, consisting of artist products and cash. The exhibition will conclude on October 19, 2009, and the gallery is open for viewing seven days a week from 10:00 AM – 5:00 PM.
I was fortunate to have two pieces of my work selected for the show, and even more fortunate to have both receive awards. "Summer Repose (Belfast, Maine)" received the Richeson Pastel Award, a product award of Unison Pastels, while my second piece "Late Afternoon Surf (Bass Rock / Gloucester, MA)" received a cash award which was donated by The Vermont Pastel Society.
It was a nice evening, enjoyed and shared with family and friends. I met many new people and look forward to their friendship. If you get the opportunity, please visit the gallery and check out my work as well as the work of many of the other fine artists included in the show.
As always, thanks for your support, and hope to see you out and about in 2009 and beyond.

I find the best goodies not only from blog posts, but from ads on blogs I love. For instance, I was intrigued by a lovely little ad, clicked and found lovely little products.
PINHOLE PRESS is a personalization stationery company. What I love is that they have beautifully simple and modern party collections. I love the idea of using photos of the birthday child in the invitation and around the party.
Solid colors and perfectly plain yet gorgeous fonts both make the guest of honor {aka the whole reason for the party} shine.

The festering sore known as Stormtrack
Stormtack has been overrun by the aforementioned crowd. Or worse yet, people who talk about chasing but never get their ass out the door so much as to look at their lawn sprinkler let alone a real supercell. Putting a cool little screen name of "Storm Chaser" on your FB account doesn't mean shit. I can tell you this: people who truly are part of the chaser subculture know who is legit and who is just blowing smoke. There is a lot of EARNED RESPECT within that group and the noobs who think just because they saw Timmer and crew in the Dominator one day at a gas station and followed them for 15 miles qualifies as "being one of them" are sorely mistaken. You only make yourself look like a fool so quit pretending. No one will ever take you seriously until you prove yourself. AND...if you made an ass of yourself in the past, good luck fighting that uphill battle. Got news for you sporto: not everyone forgives and forgets over the winter. Once an ass clown, always an ass clown until proven otherwise (and it may take years to overcome a major league f-up).
True chasers live a lifestyle and don't have a hobby. Our life decisions are made with chasing in the center. Our families know it (and accept it). Our friends know it (and accept it). Our employers know it (and accept it). We have been making choices and sacrifices in our lives since the first time we stood in awe of the power of mother nature with goal being to experience that feeling again, and AGAIN, AND AGAIN....
So to those who whine about the elitists, finances or careers, do the rest us a favor and either shut up and go away or do what we did: FIGURE OUT HOW TO MAKE IT HAPPEN ON YOUR OWN. Oh, and while you are at it, stomp out the smoldering carcass which WAS once the real Stormtrack.

I defiantly agree with you on this post. As part of the old school chasers who long ago (mid 1970,s chaser) broke out chasing by trial and error. I didn't even have the luxury of NOAA WX Radio, much less live Doppler Radar Feeds, Model Updates, Liver Streaming, ETC. But the one thing we had that a lot these modern day chasers lack was a good knowledge of "Storm Structure". I learned by endless hours of watching and learning. I love the new technology, but nothing will replace my earlier years of just going out and learning by trial and error.

Could you imagine how much more expensive chasing would be with gas prices the way they are if we didn't all have GPS to make efficient decisions? I love that we are spoiled and yet some still complain. OPEC is doing fine job of separating the wheat from the chaff this season. I know for my gas guzzler, it's been tough to budget for just doing what I do local but you are absolutely correct, where there's a will there's a way. Any chaser who manages to finagle resources while still supporting his/her family is on a whole other level of dedication. Chasers without kids or spouses have no excuse :)

I totally agree with you, Bill, and KE5WLM. I firmly hold the belief that solid knowledge of storm structure, general storm environments, and basic forecasting are necessary - and should be mandatory - for storm chasing.
I will not even consider a chase until I've done thorough data analysis and considered all parameters, both atmospheric and geographic. Hell, I just love it all, really!

I prayed for President, Ghana –Bawumia
Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia, running mate to the New Patriotic Party (NPP) flagbearer, Nana Addo Dankwa Akufo-Addo, said he prayed for the entire country and for President John Dramani Mahama, a man he is determined to help unseat in the 2016 general election whilst in Mecca.
Dr. Bawumia who returned from Mecca last Saturday evening after performing the fifth pillar of the Islamic faith, told Joy News' Latif Iddris, at his residence, that Ghanaians needed to cultivate the habit of supporting each other to develop the nation.
Dr. Bawumia, who performed the Hajj with his wife, was welcomed at the Kotoka International Airport, Accra, by party supporters and family members.
Also present at the airport was the former MP for Ayawaso Constituency, Sheikh I.C. Quaye
Dr Bawumia, who survived the harrowing experience of the stampede that killed more than seven hundred people at Mecca, said he had returned spiritually renewed and his approach to politics would be influenced by the Hajj experience.
He recalled the stampede caused huge disruption to the pilgrimage saying, "It was unbelievable what happened. We didn't know who was involved and it was a very frightening experience".
Dr. Bawumia said a short prayer for the country and also for those who lost their lives during the stampede.
Sheikh I.C. Quaye told Joy News he was hopeful the NPP would overcome the current wrangling in the party, and unite for the 2016 polls.

April 23 — To the Editor:
Gay marriage has become a feature issue with front page articles and a flock of letters. Our personal opinions about gay marriage are not the issue. People may make their personal choices as they feel meets their personal needs. However, the effort to make it socially sanctioned through legislation invites the sort of backlash evident in the state of California. The last thing we need is a constitutional amendment to overturn a gay marriage law.
The state has an obligation to guarantee all citizens their civil rights. In this case, pension survivorship, fair treatment by insurance policies, participation in health care decisions, especially end-of-life decisions, probate and inheritance issues, and the like. The state of New Hampshire has done this through civil union legislation, which I fully support. On the issues of ethics and morality, normal and abnormal sexual relations, the state cannot impose one view over another, and therefore should remain silent. This is the intent of the separation of church and state in the First Amendment to the Constitution. Civil rights is a state issue. Marriage is a church issue. The gay marriage effort is just as guilty of violating this principle as the defense of marriage camp. Both are motivated by their own religious paradigm.
Anecdotally, I have a stepson who has been in a committed relationship for many years without "getting married." We all consider them married, and I call her my daughter-in-law. We do not need legislation to do so. The gay community is asking for a privilege it already has. Gay people may go to whatever church offers them a marriage ceremony, and they can refer to each other in whatever terms they like. That's the free speech part of the First Amendment.
One last thought: A photo in the Herald a while ago showed a demonstrator with a sign asking "Would you give up your Marriage for my Civil Union?" Absolutely. If my document said Certificate of Civil Union instead of Marriage License at the top, that wouldn't affect me one iota. My wife would still be my wife, and my children, my children. That's the way to go, and I'll bet the majority would agree.

April 23 — To the Editor:
I want to thank the Portsmouth Herald for its willingness to cover the hearing that was held before the Maine state legislature's judiciary committee on the equal marriage rights bill in Augusta on April 22. As one who attended the hearing, it was certainly a moving experience.
I am disappointed, however, that in that article, the Herald sought out only one religious voice to speak in favor or opposition to the bill. It saddens me because it seems that every time a religious voice is sought out regarding same-sex marriage, it is one that is speaking in opposition to it, when the truth of the matter is, there are many, many religious leaders and congregants who hold an alternative view, and see providing equal marriage rights as a matter equality and social justice, for reasons that are deeply rooted in faith. The Rev. David Gaewski, minister of the Maine Conference of the United Church of Christ, the Rev. Mark Worth, a Unitarian Universalist from the Religious Coalition for the Freedom to Marry in Maine, and Rabbi Hillel Katzir of Temple Shalom Synagogue in Auburn were just a few of the religious leaders who passionately spoke in favor of this bill passing at the April 22 hearing. All were backed by numerous clergy, representing many different denominations, who stood in support of their testimony.
And so, given that the debate over same-sex marriage is likely not going anywhere for a while, I would hope, in the future, that the Herald would seek to offer diverging religious viewpoints on the subject — because there are, very definitely, two sides. While there are some who might believe that God will judge those who are living their lives as they were created by God to live, there are others who believe that wherever love is, there also is God.
For reasons deeply rooted in my faith, I am led to believe the latter.

Recent letters by John Encarnacao report his dissatisfaction with Sen. Jeanne Shaheen. But he never mentions our other senator: Judd Gregg. I encourage Mr. Encarnacao to direct his appeal to Sen. Gregg and see how far he gets.
Mr. Encarnacao seems so preoccupied with faulting Sen. Shaheen that he totally ignores Sen. Gregg. But I suspect Mr. Encarnacao would find our senior senator is too busy launching partisan attacks against our new president to listen to a constituent's struggles.

I read with bemusement the contention that Pier II as being "a blight on the city's historic waterfront." (See: Herald story headline "Last look inside Pier II")."
Since when is a 132-year-old fish warehouse considered blight? Following this thinking, I suppose the 1905 sailing vessel Sagamore was considered "blight" too. The tourists admiring the flowers at what once were former coal docks, now known as Prescott Park, found the Sagamore's rusty hull offensive. So it was scrapped.
And so it must have been too with the old steam tug John Wanamaker moored near Memorial Bridge. Its presence offended condo dwellers on the upriver side of the bridge.
We are gentrifying New Hampshire's only working waterfront for the beautiful people, those who live elsewhere. What is next? Removing the salt docks for yachtsmen? Exiling our few remaining commercial fishermen to Maine?

April 21 — To the Editor:
On Monday, April 20, President Barack Obama asked his cabinet to cut federal spending by $100 million. It seems that overnight the president had a change of heart because on Tuesday he signed a $5.7 billion national service bill.
Let's get this straight: One day Mr. Obama advocates cutting the size of government by a paltry sum; the federal government spends $100 million every 13 minutes. The next day, he expands government expenditures by 57 times the amount that he recommended cutting the previous day.
So what are the president's intentions? Does he wish to satisfy those clamoring for cutbacks, while simultaneously pandering to his liberal constituents? I suppose he could then claim to have cut the size of government — or not.
Such tortured logic seems natural in the collectivist universe of the Obama administration. The national service plan is, itself, evidence of governmental schizophrenia. As The Associated Press reported "The ...; bill ... expands ways for students and seniors to earn money for college through their volunteerism." I am confused; paying volunteers?? Then again, I haven't checked my dictionary since the sweeping "Change" brought on by the election of Barack Obama.
Admittedly, $5.7 billion is a small amount of plunder when compared to Obama's $800 billion stimulus package, and his monumentally excessive budget. If Obama does not destroy the dollar by his profligate borrowing, then other serious consequences will befall the country.
The non-partisan, Congressional Budget Office has determined that Obama's budget will result in yearly deficits in excess of $1 trillion; by 2019, the national debt will exceed $20 trillion. Each child will be born owing the federal government tens of thousands. Happy birthday!
It's hard to believe that the president thinks that Americans are so dim-witted as to fall for his incessant double-speak. But, then again, he may just be deluded by his recent electoral success.

Our New Hampshire Democratic leadership can learn a lot from President John F. Kennedy on getting our state economy back on its feet.
Kennedy was a champion for fiscal prudence, lower taxation and investments back into the private sector to generate more revenue for the government. In 1962, during a news conference, Kennedy stated, "It is a paradoxical truth that tax rates are too high and tax revenues are too low and the soundest way to raise the revenues in the long run is to cut the rates now ... Cutting taxes now is not to incur a budget deficit, but to achieve the more prosperous, expanding economy, which can bring a budget surplus."
Kennedy understood that increasing taxes has a negative impact on the economy. On Jan. 21, 1963, Kennedy made a testimony before Congress on tax reduction and reform: "Our tax system still siphons out of the private economy too large a share of personal and business purchasing power and reduces the incentive for risk, investment and effort — thereby aborting our recoveries and stifling our national growth rate."
Today, many of New Hampshire's residents are putting their dreams on hold, watching every dollar spent, and laying awake at night unsure if they will have another paycheck. Our state representatives' spending has been unchecked, and they're now seeking to pass an unprecedented tax increase during the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.
Recently, the New Hampshire House voted to increase meals, hotel and cigarettes tax. They are looking to add new taxes on gambling winnings and a capital gains tax of 5 percent. To burden the taxpayer more, the House included in the package a 15-cent gas tax increase.
New Hampshire residents need to let their voices be heard by e-mailing their representatives to remind them of the wisdom of JFK. To find your representative, Google search: NH General Court Who's My Legislator. To contact Gov. Lynch visit www.governor.nh.gov/contactus.htm.

Barwon Heads Golf Club
Golf course
From the moment you pull up at the car park in front of the Barwon Heads clubhouse, it is as if you have travelled back in time to a more genteel era. The old-world charm is present not only in the architecture of the clubhouse and pro shop. The course itself belongs to another age – an age when golf course designers worked with the land, rather than against it.
Barwon Heads, on the Bellarine Peninsula, a 90-minute drive from Melbourne's CBD, has been one of the best layouts in Victoria for most of its 103 years. Some of golf's greats have long been lured to ply their games here, even in the days when reaching the seaside village from the city wasn't so easy. Ivo Whitton accrued his five Australian Opens and two national amateur titles while he was a member at Barwon Heads. Fellow member Alex Russell won the Open in 1924, two years before becoming a course-design associate of the world renowned Dr Alister MacKenzie and helping him create Royal Melbourne Golf Club.
Barwon Heads dates back to 1907. It wasn't until 1920 that the land where the course lies today was purchased and a design by Victor East, the Royal Melbourne professional, approved. In more recent times, former Eisenhower Cup player Neil Crafter and his associate Paul Mogford have rejuvenated some of the holes. The course now is better than it has ever been – the kind of course you enjoy more and more every time you play here. With each round, you begin to understand the nuances and to realise how ingenious the design really is.
Barwon Heads measures a meagre 5856 metres from the championship tees, yet despite the advances in golfing equipment it remains as challenging today as when Victor East laid out his original creation. Most people would describe it as a links course, but the majority of holes are more reminiscent of those found on Melbourne's sandbelt. Only the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th holes truly fit Barwon Heads's links billing. These four holes, situated across a narrow road from the historic clubhouse, are brilliant. The 7th to 18th holes tend to be flanked more by dense ti-tree and the occasional cypress pine. The most memorable hole on the inward nine is also the shortest. The 130-metre 13th is widely regarded as one of Australia's finest par-threes because of the simplicity of its design. The tee is perched high atop a sand dune, leaving you totally exposed to the elements. On a still day, the green can easily be reached with a short iron. When the prevailing breeze starts to roar, a fairway wood is required. Making par should be simple: there are no bunkers, no watery hazards, just a ti-tree some distance left of the green. But a combination of wind, elevation and poor club selection ensures more bogeys than birdies are scored here.

I've been reading a lot of sci-fi books lately, but not the typical star wars bang bang pshew beam me up whoa kind of sci fi, oh no! Books concerned with the Big Questions. Questions like: What constitutes self? What does eternity entail? Where did humanity come from and where is it going? Where did life
come from and where is it headed? Does free will exist? Is all of life truly relative? Is there a meaning? Is there a purpose? Are we truly separate from our surroundings? What is this...reality... that we attempt to conceptualize with limited senses and even more limited language? What is reality's limits? What is the self's limits? What is a limitation, and are there any? Why, for how long, and what the fuck is going on?!?!
This list could go on forever, literally. Instead, read some amazing stories, written so long ago, and yet still challenging the minds of Earth's wisest and most intelligent men and women. The greatest sci-fi writers, based upon the above criteria, are well known to be: Robert Heinlein, Arthur C. Clarke, and Issac Assimov. If I had it my way, which I do in the world of my blog (sweet, sweet freedom!) I would also add Philip K. Dick to the list.
So, another deep question: how about some examples of the recent stories by these amazing beings that I have read? The answer?!?!!?
Childhood's End, by Arthur C. Clarke
Stranger in a Strange Land, By Robert Heinlein
A Scanner Darkly, by Philip K Dick.
The End of Eternity, by Issac Assimov
The God's themselves, by Issac Assimov
Time Enough for Love, by Robert Heinlein
The Last Question, by Issac Assimov
I also just finished listening to the audio book Snow Crash, by Neal Stephenson. Though not as philosophically deep, it is equally amazing!!
Hooray for literacy!!!

As promised I've put together my first review! For all those who are makeup connoisseurs I'm sure you know all about ABH's lip glosses. But for those of you like me who are new to it, or late to the game *coughs probably just me*… I present to you Barbie Pink.
It is such a rich, vibrant pink color. Definitely makes you feel like a sophisticated Barbie girl rather than a childish one!
The first swatch I did was in direct sunlight, all rays blazing. The second was done in more natural lighting to give you a better idea of the color. I present to you smiley swatch:
First swatch looking more coral red in direct sunlight. It does tend to look this way in some indoor lighting too. And I thought I'd make use of my beauty marks 'cause this is a beauty post *yes I'm a dork*
Second swatch in natural light looking more pink in my smiley face dorkiness.
As you can see it is a beautiful color with amazing pigmentation. Despite it being a lip gloss it is not sheer at all. This is one swipe of the color, with a little touching up at the ends since I decided to do such an awkward swatch shape 🙂 Definitely A+ for pigmentation.
Here are some lip swatches, extremely close up ones too… I swear I'll get the hang of this:
First swatch done more in direct sunlight. Yay for extreme close ups. Side note: if anyone has any editing techniques, tricks, advice, ways not to look so dorky, etc… I'm totally game
OH HAI second extreme close up swatch of my pale skin in natural lighting. This shows the pink coloring a little better. Also my weird teeth. Don't go back and look now…oh well
In both swatches above I did not use a lip liner. It is fairly easy to apply with the applicator provided. With that said, it is a gloss and at any given moment it will transfer to anything and everything. It is very sticky without actually feeling sticky on, if that makes sense. That was my biggest downfall with this product. Since it is so thick and pigmented, if it transferred it was very noticeable. If my hair touched it, lip gloss everywhere. If I drank water, lip gloss everywhere. If I breathed too much, lip gloss everywhere. Even in the above picture you can see a slight feathering in the outer corners of my lips. Perhaps a lip liner would fix this, but I tend not to wear liners with glosses.
Despite it going everywhere on my face, and hands.. cause lets face it everyone touches their faces, it is a really nicely pigmented, wearable color. It does last for quite some time and it actually is pretty moisturizing. I'll update the exact wear-time and more on that after a full day test run.
Practicality for me would be very low. I wear my hair down, drink a ton of water, work with children (who touch your face constantly,) and a bunch of other things that I don't want to have to worry about if there is pink gloss spread around my lips and cheeks. I also have this lip gloss in Dainty (perhaps I'll do a separate review) and I don't seem to have the same problems. Anyway if you're sitting around taking pictures or filming makeup looks then this is a beautiful option. Or maybe you're less of a putz than I am and can totally rock this gloss without getting it everywhere. 🙂
For now I'd say this a beautiful, pigmented, moisturizing gloss. But if you're someone like me who drinks water every five seconds and has hair with a mind of its own, I'd say this gloss isn't for you.
Questions, comments, nonsense… all welcome! ♥

The American Lawyer
November 1, 2007
In his summer of discontent, there were few days of undiluted glory for Attorney General Alberto Gonzales, and July 17 was no exception. Just six weeks before he resigned, Gonzales stood before hundreds of federal prosecutors and investigators in the U.S. Department of Justice's Great Hall to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the department's Corporate Fraud Task Force and declare victory over white-collar corruption.
But the white-collar crime news that day was not dominated by Gonzales' recitation of notches on his prosecutorial belt. Instead, the headlines focused on a federal judge in New York who dismissed indictments against 13 former KPMG executives, a very pointed rebuke to the Justice Department for some of the more aggressive tactics used by federal prosecutors over the past five years.
Along with raining on the AG's victory parade, that confluence of events also served as a neat summary of the Justice Department's corporate fraud record: a long litany of achievements punctuated by disappointment and controversy.
Created by President George W. Bush's executive order in July 2002, the task force was the president's signature response to the flood of revelations of criminal wrongdoing in America's boardrooms. Enron Corp. had collapsed the previous fall. Its accounting firm, Arthur Andersen LLP, was charged in March 2002 with obstruction of justice. Later that spring, Adelphia Communications Corp. announced it would restate earnings by a billion dollars to account for hundreds of millions of dollars looted by senior executives. By the time allegations of a $3 billion fraud by WorldCom Inc. executives surfaced in June 2002, the leading stock indexes seemed locked in a death spiral, with investors panicked about which public company holding their retirement funds might topple next.
The new task force, by marshalling the firepower of nine different federal law enforcement agencies, was designed to restore investor confidence — and to deliver a strong dose of deterrence to executive suites.
Today, the Department of Justice and the White House say the task force did just that. At the five-year anniversary event, Gonzales announced that the task force had won an unprecedented 1,236 corporate fraud convictions, including the convictions of 214 chief executive officers and presidents, 53 chief financial officers, 23 corporate lawyers and 129 vice presidents.
"Our victories have been about more than just compiling statistics or making an example out of one or two bad actors," Gonzales said. "They have been about preserving the integrity of our corporate boardrooms and our financial markets … about changing a culture [and] about redefining the way companies do business."
But how much did the Corporate Fraud Task Force truly accomplish? Last spring The American Lawyer began investigating the Justice Department's record on corporate fraud prosecution. It was a massive undertaking made all the more so because the Justice Department does not formally account for its corporate fraud cases. (Indeed, according to Joan Meyer, senior counsel to the deputy attorney general, it cannot provide a complete list of the cases that were the basis of the victories Gonzales cited at the July 17 anniversary celebration.) So we relied on our own research, gathering data on 124 investigations (resulting in 440 indicted defendants) identified by the Justice Department as major Corporate Fraud Task Force prosecutions. Our analysis included cases cited on the task force Web site and in two published task force reports, as well as corporate fraud prosecutions mentioned in speeches or public comments by Justice Department officials.

A good way to check the salts are in solution as it creates a really fierce whirlpool and any undissolved salts collect in centre of the pot I used. Maybe took four 5 min blends and an overnight stand before everything was dissolved.
Not sure if I'll bother again.....
You are aware of the fact that gypsum (calcium sulphate) has limited solubility in water I've no idea as to the quantities you are using but once you get to around 2g/l it becomes very difficult to get it to dissolve, especially if you are trying to use calcium chloride as well.
Dissolve it in the entire volume of the liquor and you'll have no issues

What is this?
Choosing a simpler life. The objective behind this blog is to create an online community of readers and writers who are adopting simplicity as a lifestyle choice in order to save the planet and our civilization from crumbling under the many-headed monster of decadence. By choosing a frugal and more minimalistic lifestyle, you can free yourself up to devote your time and your presence to those things that have been on your "someday" list for way too long. You will be free to be children, spouses and parents, and not just slaves to the great consumerist dream of having and buying, at the cost of being and doing.
Role Models. As we share our stories, our victories, our tips and tricks, and our motivations, we will not only become stronger ourselves, but create a community of role models that will encourage others to join the bandwagon. There are millions of us out here who are doing our utmost to live responsibly, and to help spread the word of frugal living as one of the ways out of the mess we are in. In our disappointment with the system, most often, we confine ourselves to our small world, content with making the difference that we can. However, if we all pool our resources together, we can create a much greater impact.
An affirmation. The primary reason that people hesitate to adopt a simpler life is out of fear or being ridiculed, isolated, left out, considered poor and a have-not. If we all stand up together, the guy next door who is afraid of downshifting will be able to see us for what we are, and what drives us, and will be emboldened to take that simple step which can not only make his life a better one, but also "save the world." This blog will evolve into an affirmation of our lives in the face of a society that seems to think otherwise.

Why this now?
This blog has waited for nine years to come into being. Why not earlier? The two main reasons are 1) my personal awkwardness at writing about a lifestyle and value set that I myself was unable to follow with total commitment, and 2) a series of obstacles and hindrances that took up all my time and energy for the last six years, almost all of it arising out of my indulgence in a lifestyle of over-consumption.
You can read more about what is special about "now" in other posts, as well as in the page links about my personal journey.
This is the first post on this blog, so if you are reading this, you are either among the very first readers of this blog, or you have ploughed your way back through the archives. Either way, congratulate yourself (and me) for having had the occasion to consider frugality and simplicity as a lifestyle choice.
Since I am writing this first post, I cannot but help asking you to share this on your social networks, and spread the word about what you find here. I hope to build up a blog which will help all of us to find ways and motivation to further enrich our new lives.

T.B. Simon Power Plant to be coal free by 2016
April 9, 2015
In a move that will reduce emissions at its T.B. Simon Power Plant as well as significantly advance its Energy Transition Plan, Michigan State University is taking steps to stop burning coal by the end of 2016, with a majority of coal purchasing and burning ending in 2015.
President Lou Anna K. Simon announced this endeavor on April 10, 2015, during a live webcast called "A Conversation with President Simon about MSU's Energy Future."
In 2014, coal made up approximately 28 percent of the power plant's fuel sources. Historically, coal has provided cheap, available energy to heat and power the campus. Although it is a high emitter of the greenhouse gas carbon dioxide and other pollutants, the T.B. Simon Power Plant has consistently worked to reduce emissions, trap particulate matter and use coal as efficiently as possible to reduce overall consumption. Since 2009-10, the campus has decreased coal use by 65 percent, which comprises the largest contribution to the 18 percent decrease in greenhouse gas emissions.
Other strategies discussed during the webcast included a substation that will help make the power plant more efficient as well as power FRIB, and possible partnerships to explore large scale renewable energy.
For more information about the webcast and MSU's plan to phase out coal, view the MSU Today story.
MSU Infrastructure Planning and Facilities builds and maintains the physical environment for Michigan State University's education, research and outreach missions, and directs the university's sustainability initiatives and long-term infrastructure planning goals. The unit's experienced team of professionals keeps MSU running 24/7/365, delivering an immense menu of services and providing expert analysis for university objectives.
