The shortage cut off natural gas service to the entire community for the remainder of the day. This caused significant disruptions at nearly every home and business in town.
Natural gas service was restored to most customers within 36 hours, thanks in large part to a small army of 35 Questar employees who descended on Monticello from areas across the state.
The Questar crews first shut off every gas meter in town, and then recharged the gas lines.
Until that task could be completed, the Questar crews also brought five compressed natural gas (CNG) trailers with them, which they used to restore natural gas service to critical areas, including Monticello Elementary and High schools, the health service clinic, the public safety building, and the North LDS Chapel.
The San Juan Hospital operated their diesel generators to provide heat to the hospital. The hospital has a two-week supply of diesel in case of emergency.
The LDS chapel was identified as a shelter for those in need. Despite the cold night, no one came to the shelter for the night as neighbors reached out to neighbors to ensure that all were safe and warm.
On Friday, November 1, the Questar employees began the job of recharging the gas lines and relighting appliances throughout the town. They started with critical businesses and the homes of the elderly and handicapped. By mid day, many homes had service restored.
One challenge was that a large number of area residents were out of town due to high school volleyball and football events. By the evening of Saturday, November 2, all but a handful of homes had service restored.
As the Questar crews spent time at each location, a number of area residents said that they were made aware of problems with their appliances. It also was a busy day for repairmen and plumbers.
A valve was apparently left partially open on a Williams pipeline for several weeks or even months. However, the valve allowed enough natural gas to pass through to meet the need in Monticello through the warmer months.
However, demand spiked when temperatures dropped to 25 degrees on the morning of October 31, resulting in a decrease in the supply due to the partially closed valve.

Suicide attack kills eight in northern Afghanistan
A suicide bomber attacked people leaving a memorial service at a mosque in northern Afghanistan on Friday, killing a district chief, his apparent target, and seven others, police said.
At least 11 people were wounded in the strike, whose victims included several civilians.
The apparent assassination was the latest attack in a particularly bloody week in Afghanistan, further underscoring the tenuous security situation here.
No group immediately claimed responsibility for Friday's attack, but suspicion fell on the Afghan Taliban. The militant group has escalated its actions in recent months to take advantage of the drawdown of US-led foreign troops, who handed over security for the country to Afghan forces two months ago.
The bomber struck in Dashi Archi district of Kunduz province. Hussaini said the district chief, Sayed Sadruddin, was with tribal leaders and others at a memorial service for someone who had died earlier.
There are currently about 1,00,000 troops from 48 countries in Afghanistan with the US-led International Security Assistance Force, 60,000 of them American. By the end of this year, the NATO force will be halved, and all foreign combat troops are expected to be gone by the end of next year.
Because of the drawdown, much is riding on the abilities of the fledging Afghan security forces, which now number about 3,52,000.
Afghan and coalition officials have warned that the Taliban would intensify the tempo of their attacks following the Muslim Holy month of Ramadan, as they try to take advantage of the two or three months left of good weather before the harsh Afghan winter sets in. The traditional fighting period lasts from March until the end of October.
The Taliban have already staged multiple attacks this week, leaving dozens dead and even more wounded.

What strikes me is that the "upstart" fields Cohen mentions have been around for a generation now. Why this article now?...It's certainly not news. More newsworthy, perhaps, would be the growth of world or global history in the past decade--much of which involves economic, diplomatic, and political history, the fields that are supposedly disappearing....

Another slow news day at the NY Times

Thanks for this, Mary. I'd missed this story. Lots of things sound a little strange in it, including this: "Yet the growth has been predominantly in the newer specializations, spurring those in diplomatic, military, legal and economic history to complain they are being squeezed out." I don't know anyone in legal history who says we're being squeezed out by "new" areas of history. I think legal history is growing--and growing because it's helping to address issues of importance to "new" areas, like gender and race. (Now, I don't think it's doing as well as it ought in dealing with race and gender, but that's a story for another day. And I agree that within legal history, the areas of focus have shifted. I'm delighted with those shifts--perhaps we can talk about this at some point, what legal history looked like in 1970, 1990, and today, for instance.)
Also--and I'd be interested in other takes on this, from people who know more about this than me--but my sense is that some of the jobs in foreign relations have shifted from history to other departments, like political science. That is, I'm not sure that foreign relations studies positions have declined as moved to new homes.

Maybe I unconsciously downplayed the parts that are driving everyone nuts, but I didn't think the article was that bad when I read it yesterday. Admittedly it's not news, but I think there's room in the newspaper for discussions of long-term trends, even those that have been underway for a while. And I think this counts as one. When I started grad school almost two decades ago, my initial area of interest was actually diplomatic history. I was warned away from it by the one professor in the department who ostensibly specialized in it; he derided traditional diplomatic history as "cable traffic." And in fact I didn't stick with it long. (And what I did write wasn't exactly traditional diplomatic history.) It's seemed to become a field that's increasingly moribund, which I have mixed feelings about.
I also didn't get the impression from my first read through that women's history was being blamed somehow for the demise of diplomatic history. Rather, I thought the point was that the history of elite decisionmakers in general, whether that's political history, intellectual history, or diplomatic history, has declined precipitously both in relative importance and in the number of new professors studying and teaching such topics. I think that's true, I think the turn to social and cultural history is welcome, but I think it's possible that there's been a bit of an over-correction. (Naturally, it's unsurprising that long-term practitioners of traditional diplomatic history would be upset at their relative loss of status, but I didn't put a lot of weight into those quotes; perhaps non-academic readers would.)
I also don't think Claire Potter is being entirely fair to the grad student quoted in the article. I think a more charitable interpretation of his remarks is not that he's blaming women for the state of his subdiscipline, but that he's concerned that (a) diplomatic history is widely seen as uncool (as it was by the professor I talked to 18 years ago), and (b) he's noticed that SHAFR meetings are populated by people 40 years older than he is. I'd feel lonely too.

Bruce, thanks for your comment. I think the reactions to the article are in part being driven by the way these issues have been discussed in recent years among academics. A couple of issues:
One reason there has been such a reaction to the article is because women's and gender history is one of the areas mentioned as (arguably) edging out traditional diplomatic history, but no women historians are quoted in the article, even though many different historians are quoted. This may sound too first-wave, but many of us find this offensive. There are women among the traditionalists in diplomatic history, and many women at the borders between diplomatic history and other fields. And of course there are many women doing women's and gender history, whose insights would have enriched the article.
I am a member of SHAFR, I've greatly benefited from my participation in SHAFR meetings, and I often recommend SHAFR to legal historians and others, as a way to bring global perspectives to their work. I completely agree that it is important to discuss trends. Diplomatic history should be at the center of the discussion, since it should be part of the move to internationalize American history and to approach history from a transnational perspective. When these issues are raised among diplomatic historians -- e.g. on H-Diplo, which I participate in -- they unfortunately disintegrate into a very narrow set of complaints about whether folks working on gender, race or cultural history have taken over the faculty lines that should have gone to diplomatic historians. The NYT article could also have been a rich discussion of the role of diplomatic history in the context of the global turn in the field as a whole. But instead it reflected this more narrow set of ideas.
I think we will get past this moment. There is just too much good work by younger and mid-career historians who draw upon diplomatic history in the context of broader transnational narratives (Erez Manela, The Wilsonian Moment, is just one example). The history of international relations is part of global histories, and this is where the field is going. Foreign affairs history has renewed importance, in spite of the fact that some of its practitioners, in the face of change, long for the way things used to be.
And finally -- and this was the reason for my post -- there are the unfortunate choices of the reporter, who was also the source of the very odd article using the story of an AHR submission to air an attack on another historian. Reporting about the field is great. But this reporter needs new sources.
- June 13, 2009 at 10:03:00 AM EDT
- Bruce Boyden said...
Mary, thanks for bringing the connection to the earlier AHR article to light, that's a revealing bit of information, I think.
- June 13, 2009 at 11:20:00 AM EDT
As someone who does not do women's or social/cultural history as a primary field, I found the article to be depressingly accurate. Did the article need to quote from a women's historian to certify there are next to no jobs in Diplomatic, Military, or Economic history? Or to certify that quite a few job listings, even in this terrible job market, mention women's, race, GLBT, and other so-called minority group studies as desired specialties? It is certainly true that Social/Cultural history's hegemony is so old as to be unquestioned. But, is it not news, especially to the general public who have turned their purchasing dollars to those same fields we now neglect in our hires and courses as Stan Katz notes? Not to get even more personal, but the best American legal history job in the country in my view, UMD, sought, not a wide group of candidates, but to the ones who did African-American history. The rumor is UMD considered some very fine scholars, but the fact remains they limited their search as the NYT article suggested was the general trend. As a profession, we historians have become so accustomed to institutionalized racism and sexism we actually create elections in the OAH and AHA to discriminate in favor of "diversity." It is a diversity, I might add, of elite school educated and employed persons who are splendid at networking. The job market is indeed horrendous, but it is even more horrendous for those not in favored categories. The article was spot on.

wmjmsbphh offers what is the standard take in some circles. In the course of his/her comment, wmjmsbphh reiterates a common error, that is discussed most pointedly by David Silby in a post Never Mind the Facts... at Edge of the American West. Silby draws readers attention to a chart accompanying the NYT article, showing an *increase* in military history hiring. And as commenters on his blog post also note, world and transnational history, important areas of faculty hiring in recent years, are simply left out, making it more difficult to draw the conclusions many do about hiring trends. As Silby puts it:
"The data [in the NYT chart] is courtesy of the American Historical Association, but the thing that struck me was that the number of military history positions has been flat (1975-1990) or growing (1990-2005). This is in contrast to diplomatic and economic history positions, which are declining, but similar to cultural history and gender history positions, which are increasing.
"That surely does not fit the accepted wisdom of the declining state of military history within the academy, of the reluctance of politically-correct departments to hire "warmongers," or of a generation of military historians retiring and not being replaced....
"The tension between "traditional" and "cutting-edge" forms of scholarship is a powerful narrative device. Add to that the perceived tension between "right-wing" military history and "politically-correct" social and gender history, and it seems like military history should be part of the pack of traditional specialties, specialties being marginalized within left-wing history departments. That the evidence is much more ambiguous than that must then be ignored.
"Never mind the facts, we have a narrative to write."
Silby's commenters also point to the fact that economic history has not disappeared, but instead migrated into economics departments.
Similarly, legal history has not been on the decline at all. wmjmsbphh suggests that the "best" legal history job during the past year was at the Univ. of Maryland. As much as I admire the UMD faculty, both in history and in law, I would say that the "best" legal history job in the past year's market was instead at Yale Law School, which hired two important legal historians laterally (Witt and Priest). Entry level hires are harder to track, but there were certainly great entry level candidates in the law school market during the past year, and I believe they did well. Again, it's not a matter of a decline in the field, but a question of where the jobs in the field are right now. In legal history, it may also reflect the fact that it is much more common than 25 years ago for entry-level scholars to have both the JD and Ph.D., making it possible for them to explore hiring in both history departments and law schools.
- June 20, 2009 at 2:36:00 PM EDT
I would like to thank Prof. Dudziak for her link to the Silby piece. It is very informative. However, I must disagree with her dismissal of my view as the "standard" conservative view. If she had bothered to consider the argument instead of virtually instantaneously categorizing it, therefore ignoring it, she would realize her praise for all the wonderful job offerings in law schools to what I would call "the usual suspects" was entirely missing the point. If she wanted to counter the argument I did not make about how scholars who study dead white males have trouble getting jobs, she should have pointed to HLS's hiring of Tushnet, Sunstein, and Dworkin. Look, she could have trumpeted, how many wonderful jobs are out there for the taking! When she steps down from her pedestal at the mountaintop, she would realize that things look considerably different for those of us who are not employed at six figure, three course a year jobs at research universities.

I'm writing to offer just two comments. wmjmsbphh objects to what he/she sees as my characterization of his/her ideas as "the 'standard' conservative view." Instead I called his/her position the "standard take in some circles," meaning the argument often heard among traditionalists in the diplomatic history community. This group includes scholars across the political spectrum, many of whom, I believe, are quite liberal.
I appreciate wmjmsbphh's engagement with this thread. Further comments by readers will be approved if they engage the substance of the post and other comments, but not if they involve attacks or derogatory remarks about others.

Wow. An important thread. It ties together a number of other threads pulled out of the H-Law and other sites including CHE and the OAH-AHA committee on part time and temporary instructors. (forgive the metaphor--could not help myself). Let me see if I can tie all this together. It seems to me that there are three tiers of employment in history that the Cohen piece touched on. One is elite. Whether at Law Schools or in the top flight research universities (public and private), this tier offers tenure, a relatively low teaching load (we at UGA are fighting to keep our four course load), research funding, major library access, and the prospect of working with post-graduate students. A second tier are the level 2, 3 and below public and private schools. They may offer tenure, but the teaching load is at least six and sometimes eight courses, and research is rarely regarded as more important than teaching. Finally, there is the lowest tier, in which people with their PhDs (or sometimes ABD's with JDs) teach a variety of courses at a variety of colleges and universities as temporaries. They get paid piece work per course, they rarely have any benefits, and they often are denied the amenities (office, parking privileges, a computer, etc...) of the regular faculty. Many administrations have discovered that the supply of people in this third tier is ample to fill slots on faculties, rather than holding searches for tenure track (much less senior) candidates. Thus the Maryland job was pretty unique not only in legal history, but in any field of history. Very few senior slots open these days.
Now if I can apply this set of facts to the NYT article and the various postings on this blog: for job seekers with fine credentials, particularly those entering the market or trying to enter the market over the past decade or so, with a very good PhD in hand but a diss topic that is not particularly appealing to search committees, the frustration level must be really high. For those in the second tier who want to move up to the first tier, the frustration level must be almost unbearable. Most of us in history want to write and do research in history and have it mean something. I've been in this game for nearly forty years (got my PhD in 1970), and I still feel sympathy for applicants with a really good book and a really good project on-going who are summarily excised from our searches because their work is too traditional or too conventional. For history departments (I cannot speak at all about law school searches) to summarily ignore or select based on the personal interests of search committee members rather than the manifest merit of candidacies is heartbreaking.
I am not a military or diplomatic or economic historian, though I have written about all three subjects. I cannot speak to the numbers. But I am pretty sure that the number of opening in military and diplomatic and political history tenure slots has gone down (has to, as the number of openings itself has gone down).
Again, this is what the messenger with cleft stick from the Deep South sees. Somewhere on the top of the mountain in the clouds there are folks who see the world differently. I wonder, however, if they know what is going on beneath those clouds, where I and my colleagues are desperately trying to find jobs for our graduate students.
All best to y'all.

Before Christmas I wrote part one of my Blurb Books Photo book review which can read here.
The book arrived in plenty of time and looked brilliant (I forgot to take a picture of it). It was a present for my dad from his grandchildren and he loved it.
The pictures looked great and the book was great quality. It was packaged well and arrived in perfect condition. I would use them again for photo books.
You can also make ebooks, magazines and diaries. Prices start from £1.99 and its so simple to use.

Taiwanese blog Apple.Pro has put out a couple more pictures that could be related to the upcoming Macbook Pro. We're not sure if they're real or not, but there are enough photos out there to at least mostly rule out Photoshop. While the new pictures resemble case images we saw earlier, it looks to be designed for a smaller laptop and lacks their speaker grills.
The keyboard seems to be identical to the MacBook Air, but with a larger trackpad. The left side houses all the ports (much like the earlier photo), while the right side has a slot for the optical drive. Apple.Pro is responsible for previous case images as well, but only time will tell how accurate their tips are. [Apple Pro via Mac Rumors]

So this weekend at Comic Con, we're all expecting DC to unveil plans for more movies. A Flash movie, a Wonder Woman movie, maybe even a Justice League film. But should DC try to tie its films into one continuity?
Christopher Nolan has already voted no on this one — he said a while ago that he doesn't want his upcoming Batman and Superman movies to tie together in any way. He thinks his version of Batman works best in a world with no other capes.
But the Green Lantern movie almost had a Clark Kent cameo, and DC's Diane Nelson and Geoff Johns told the L.A. Times that a Justice League movie is a distinct possibility in the near future. So what do you think? Should DC start drawing the strands together more?

PMGI necessitava di un nuovo design di logo e ha lanciato un contest su 99designs.
È stato scelto un vincitore tra 158 design presentati da 33 designer.
Looking for a logo for an online service geared towards home remodeling but as an escrow service.
BuildProof - http://www.buildproof.com
Open to ideas after you read teh creative brief
Desired Color Scheme:
Very open - Build trust and attract remodeling consumers
Desired Style:
No limitations, but must follow goals to get consumers and builders to feel safe and secure
Accepted File Formats:
Want B/W, Greyscale and Color versions
Corporate Synopsis: Consumers across the country lose millions of dollars annually to unscrupulous contractors. They either become victims of outright fraud, or lose control of their ongoing projects because contractors have already been paid for work that is yet to be completed. Legitimate contractors suffer as well, having to chase down homeowners for final payments after a projects completion. BuildProof provides a much needed answer for both sides, bringing an industry with an archaic payment system into the 21st century. The company provides a secure, automated payment platform which allows homeowners to post money for a construction project, but not release that money until the work is done to their satisfaction. In addition, contractors are able to see their money on account, and no longer have to be worried about receiving prompt payment for quality work. Both sides benefit, both sides remain safe in the transaction. BuildProof provides a communication platform, management assistance, and dispute resolution services as wellLogo and Tagline: The most important thing to be portrayed is a strong sense of security and safety. BuildProof holds large sums of money for construction projects, so both sides must feel completely safe doing business with the company. The name implies safety much the same way the words "bulletproof†and "waterproof†do, only we need to portray the feeling of being "safe from the pitfalls of the construction process.†Some reference to construction or building should be visible from the logo, and also present in the tagline. Our customer base is wide, encompassing any homeowner wishing to have a home improvement project done or doing new construction, and the contractors who serve them. BuildProof can secure any size project, from house painting to construction of an entire building, and works for a vast array of trades from landscaping to remodeling to roofing etc.

Wheat-free, Gluten-free Chai Muffin Recipe: Inspirations from India
Today will be a busy day, so no time for one of my lengthy posts- but I did want to share some very special mini-muffins that I made last night. I just love those mini-muffin tins. In my opinion, the smaller a gluten-free baked good, the easier it is to have good results, and those mini-muffin tins haven't let me down yet. I was inspired by a recipe for Chai mini-muffins that I found online but went crazy modifying it, decreasing sugar, adding honey, and of course making it gluten-free. The clove on top is just for fun, and not for munching, but you could top them with a swirl of butter and honey or go chai cupcake on us and top them with a cream cheese (or tofutti cream) frosting. The milk could easily be switched out with soy milk, rice milk, or to make this recipe even more decadent, eggnog. Ever had an eggnog chai? How about making this an eggnog chai mini-muffin recipe? Sounds good to me! Anyway, enjoy the muffin recipe and pictures. No one can resist a mini muffin or cupcake- and who would want to?
No mini muffin tin? Gasp! Get one here

1/2 cup lowfat milk
3 tea bags of chai tea
1 cup gluten-free flour mix (I used Bette Hagman gourmet blend)
Prepare one mini muffin tin by spraying with GF nonstick cooking spray. Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Heat the milk and steep your bags of chai tea while you prepare the other ingredients.
Mix the dry ingredients- flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a medium bowl, whisk the wet ingredients, including your chai infused milk. Strain all the milk out of the chai tea bags and then dispose of the tea bags. Slowly add the wet ingredients to dry and gently combine, folding. When batter is combined, pour into each mini muffin tin so that it reaches the top.
Bake for 15 minutes in 325 degree oven or until brown and firm to touch.
best the first day they are made. top with frosting to make baby cupcakes!

Lidia Yuknavitch
Memoirs. Can you ever trust them? How many of us would be true to form in a published retelling of our lives? How many have done so in the past? Who among us doesn't delude ourselves to some degree with our own little revisionist history?
When I received a copy of THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER to read/review, I had all of these questions polluting my mind before I ever opened the book. Then the first sentence did me in:
"The day my daughter was stillborn, after I held the future pink and rose-lipped in my shivering arms, lifeless tender, covering her face in tears and kisses, after they handed my dead girl to my sister who kissed her, then to my first husband who kissed her, then to my mother who could not bear to hold her, then out of the hospital room door, tiny lifeless swaddled thing, the nurse gave me tranquilizers and a soap and sponge."
After that first sentence, I was hooked. Then things got really interesting: all the admissions of her own destructive behavior, her relationship sabotage, her DUI, the conflict between loathing and loving her mother, and living with the legacy her father had thrown upon her.
Granted most memoirs are thick with examples of abuse, look-what-happened-to-me narration, and such – but here in TCOW we get the other half – we get what she had done to others, and how, despite herself and her family, she survived both.
Not only was this a memoir I could relate to on several levels, but it was beautifully written – and why shouldn't it be? Lidia's literary life has been fortunate enough to have crossed paths with the like of Ken Kesey, our own Chuck Palahniuk, and she's now part of the infamous writing group that meets once a week.
Did I mention it was beautifully written? Most memoirs are little more than organized memory dumps, broken down for us into childhood, adolescence, adulthood, etc... But the passages within, while essentially (loosely) chronological in order, will force more than a few smiles to seep across your face as you read them.
So like any book that sparks my curiosity about the writer, I wanted more. After some emails were exchanged, Lidia allowed me to retrace the lines of the naked body she had prepared for us all in THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER.
KC: Is it true that you were dared by Chuck Palahniuk to write this book? How did this come about? How were you able to go through with it?
LY: We had a big discussion in our workshop one night about what a is memoir, is it worth anything, and because we are all different people, we all disagreed – and that's how real conversations happen… on my way out to the car, Chuck was sorta ribbing me because he and I had some similar opinions about memoir being not as different from fiction as people wish it was… and he finished with: I'm not a big fan of memoir, but if you wrote one, I'd read it. I have some weird mix of competitor and Catholic still in me, because I went home, drank a bunch, wrote about thirty pages that night. What I didn't know was that I had a big fat story in me for the last twenty years. The other things that happened, almost 30 years ago, I was in a writer's workshop with Diana Abu-Jaber at Oregon State and wrote a short story called THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER – it was in fragments and kind of experimental, and everyone made fun of it. Chan Rae Lee said it wasn't even a story. But Diana pulled me aside and said it was more than a story, that it was great, and that it might have been a book, unfortunately at that point in my life I was too busy trying to destroy it and I didn't take her seriously, I wasn't ready to write a book, etc… Interestingly Diana and Chuck know each other, so it seems kind of cosmic and trippy that now Chuck comes along and kind of resurrects this notion of a book inside me.
KC: Tell us about your love of rocks.
LY: As a kid, I really talked to them like they were people. I did a lot of playing by myself. This plays into investing things with life, making up little worlds, it takes a big imagination to leave a reality and create another one. My sister wasn't around much because it was horrible to be at home, and she left when I was ten, so I played alone a lot. And I really believed that my early forays into bestowing rocks and sticks with animus was crucial to my development as a writer – looking back I think that those weird little kids who have such a huge imagination are pretty cool – they can build these aloneworlds and the amazing thing is that they become such good writers, because it is so second nature to them.
KC: A lot of this reads very well out loud, several passages, to me, beg to be read aloud. How much of your writing is a result of reading what you write aloud, then going back? Did you learn this from workshop or was this in your repertoire prior?
LY: 1) I have a background in performance art, and came of age when it was pretty cool. Karen Finley was gaining traction when I was a young woman, hip hop and rap, Public Enemy was big. This combination of music, performance and language was just fascinating to me, and 2) I'm a language junkie – I wish I could live in the page and just deal with language. I'm in love with any rhythm or poetics. When I can hear it or feel it, I have to chase it. I love it when I'm reading something and I feel it in my body. I can get higher, I can have better sex, I can be so much better when I'm in the page. I believe that chasing that jazz riff is just as important as developing a character, I hope you understand what I am saying…
KC: I do, I do. I think a lot of people, well, the vast majority of people who read as a hobby or a love or whathaveyou – they don't really put stock in the meter of what they read, they look for the clever, the twist, the deep character… but when you get BOTH, that's a very rare thing these days. There aren't many authors that can do both, so when you find one, it's a pretty cool thing. It's almost like the soundtrack that supports the movie, if that isn't too dumb of an analogy, you don't really appreciate it so much on its own, like when you buy the soundtrack and you're like, where was that song in that movie? And then you go back and listen for it and realize it was only 40 seconds worth of it, but man did it just MAKE that scene and did it just amplify everything in that section of the film. When you read those little sections and you, perhaps even subconsciously, pick up that the sentence structure is different and finally you go, "Oh, we're into poetry now" and then you identify that this isn't vanilla-bland straightforward narrative. I love it when I can have both.
LY: I love it when I'm reading something and I feel it in my body ala Emily Dickenson. I love that idea as a reader – even if you don't know it's happening – if you feel it for just two pages, that's enough for me.
KC: And I would have never expected this type of writing in a memoir.
LY: I think I was trying to infiltrate the memoir space and plant little bombs.
KC: I don't think that's a bad thing.
They say the death of a child is the single most traumatic thing an adult can go through. You write candidly about the stillbirth, in fact it is the opening salvo in the book, why did you choose to start here, to hit us between the eyes right off the bat?
LY: Well the short story started off in the same way. I wrote it all in pieces, in units, so I knew linearity didn't matter at all, but juxtaposition didn't matter at all, you know, what you rub against next to you? So I decided to abandon linearity…
KC: Despite having the word chronology in your title?
LY: Yeah, but this is the chronology of water, dude. Of water.
KC: Ah, water definitely isn't linear. You got me there.
LY: Right, and I've had a few moments where life and death were literally in my arms – when those things happened to me, I changed my philosophy on life, and linearity for that matter. And while these linear narratives are comforting, they are a construct. So beginning with a death that was also a birth was a central metaphor, and beginnings and endings don't always happen where we wish they would. But that was why it was important to me. Even if they don't get it 100%, I know I've begun differently and put a reader in a different starting point.
KC: Everyone is going to approach this book differently, and by approach I mean in the aeronautical sense of the term. They'll be arriving to this book from a different place, a different background. Some read that opening page and snap the book shut. Others, like me, take on a more voyeuristic role and want to see how you handled the situation. This brings me to the subject of your father, it was rather interesting to me that you actually didn't vilify him, which is almost law in memoir that deals with this type of subject matter.
LY: I think of these things as archetypes at this point. The dead child is literally a dead child yes, but archetypically the sort of birth/death question isn't specific – and so the father who commits a transgression is as old as Greek gods. So there is this father and he did creepiness, but then the father transgresses in all kinds of art - is it good that it happens to individuals? No. But it doesn't make you alone. We all carry darkness in us. We might not want to admit it, but we are humans and we all make mistakes, some larger than others, but we all make mistakes.
KC: And it seems that those who hold onto the pain are more likely to become those who replicate the pains they suffered.
LY: I think so. And this is what I love about art - that it has this capacity to change a person's life.
KC: Certainly, good books do that, and memoirs that are written properly do that easier than fiction, but then you have to find a memoir that is written properly.
LY: The trick there is that the industry has a type… They also don't like it if you talk a lot about all the horrible things you did in your life.
KC: "Can you leave out the whole DUI part, please?"
LY: Exactly.
KC: I think they almost need to have the stakes raised, on a sensational level, to make a memoir salable – so if you have had something horrible happen to you, great, but if you have also in turn done some horrible things, then uh oh, you've become this sort of dirty angel, then the story isn't as compelling, or so they think. No one feels the same for the hooker that gets raped by a john versus the high school girl walking home, library books in her arms.
LY: I know, and that's a really big thing you just touched on there. I'd rather be at the base with everybody else, with people I can relate to…
KC: …and here's the thing - who does your story relate to more? Every one of us has done something we're not proud of, so that's why other memoirs look like fantasy.
LY: I'm more interested in democratizing my story so it has more in common with more people. There is nothing that I wrote about in my book that I haven't heard a hundred times from other people. It's not just my story.
KC: You are the second author with a gift for language I've met that suffered from a bout of childhood muteness/or some other speech pathology. What kind of impact do you think this had on your writing life?
LY: It was huge. Like when we talked about the rocks, to go that deeply internal, you are almost in a state of psychosis. To the outside world, there is something wrong with you. Asperger's or autistic people – your internal world is blown up to cinematic proportions – I wasn't without language, I was hiding from speech. In that time, I over-developed my internal language. A language landscape. I could tell stories and sing songs. I could read the right side of the book before the left side, it didn't seem wrong, until I got caught at 13 or 14. I could memorize poems. My internal world was huge.
KC: That's an important distinction, "I wasn't without language, I was hiding from speech."
LY: My short(er) answer is that it helped me to overdevelop an internal landscape, which pays huge dividends for a writer who needs to create internal landscapes.
KC: Prior to drugs, alcohol and sex – swimming was your source of escape, yet like all forms of escapism, fraught with complications and hollow payoffs. Was it swimming itself, or was it the competition, or the fact that you could excel at it with relative ease? How did this serve to quiet your mind and buffer the tension at home?
LY: Mostly it was just the experience of being in water – you can't hear anything, it is all around you and envelops you, it holds you. I think I might have benefitted from sort of sensory deprivation as a kid… I often didn't hear what the coach was saying - I was in my own little kid trance when I was in the water.
KC: Early in the book, your father is the active participant in your destruction as a child, whereas your mother comes off more as the tacit supporter of his actions, by way of her own inaction. Have you ever figured out which was worse, or are they two sides of the same dark coin? Should I even be asking such a question of a child about her parents?
LY: It's almost an easier anger to deal with to be angry at the person who punches you in the face. But the person who didn't stop it, who didn't even bear witness to it, and didn't save you, that kind of hurt and anger - where do you even put it? That anger can get big inside you and consume you. You don't have anything to direct it at. That passivity is a black hole that sucks the anger up, without anywhere to direct it, if that makes any sense. But it helped me a lot when I came to peace with my mother, when I let go of my need to place blame. A redirection of your own energy, somewhere positive. I also wrote about how forgiveness wasn't the most important thing I had to give, when I let go of that narrative and admitted that they had stories of their own where if I had read the book of their life, I would have had sympathy for their characters and I would have understood why they did what they did. I can admit they both have stories and I can admit they had wrongs inflicted on them that shaped who they were to become.
KC: You wrote about 'damaged women' and how they don't think they deserve kindness. What would you say to those women today?
LY: I'd want to take them swimming with me. [Laughs] I teach a women's study class, I get to talk to the women I wrote about all the time. I'm listening, tell me your story. I won't flinch, I won't judge, just tell me, and as many people in as many ways as you can.
KC: Dark as it is, this book is dotted with some great humor. It is a pretty well-known phenomenon that the best comics have tragic pasts. How important is laughter to you, especially when writing this memoir, let alone surviving it? Was your father capable of great humor? Was your mother? Or was this a product of your environment, a survival thing?
LY: My parents did have good senses of humor, particulary my mother, who was capable of laughter and tremendous joy – so I think partly it came from her. We, my sister and I, laughed a lot as a survival mechanism before we left – the faster answer is that laughter saves your life – when you get cut off from deep humor and the ability to laugh at yourself, it's dangerous, literally dangerous. So it was important to include it in the darkest places.
KC: Are you still a woman who thinks of dead things, or has this passed?
LY: I am but it isn't as haunting or painful as it was. Dead things generate life like compost heaps and how a sperm and egg unite. The life it creates depends on the death of the sperm… I no longer think of death as a negative as it's always happening in the living – it isn't the endpoint of the living, linear narrative.
KC: What was the title of the first story you ever wrote? You alluded to it in COW, and how important it was to you and your mother both. How did you feel about the fact that you were praised for "such mature subject matter" when in fact it was (or was it?) somewhat of a cry for help?
LY: Hmm. If I think really hard, it was called "He Waits to See" and I must have been sixteen years old. I was so happy to be acknowledged for something I made, it was my clay ashtray – it went straight into my kid desire and that overshadowed the truth of it all. But shortly after that I began all my self-destructive behavior. My English teacher was the only person who pulled me aside and expressed her concern, but she had me join her bible study group – she was the right person who recognized what was wrong, but she was this big-time Baptist - she was the right person at the right time, but she was a Christian, which in my world was a bad thing. She was the only one. My parents never said a word as to the content, only that they were proud of my accomplishment.
KC: You've eaten a lot of paper. It calls to mind the scene from Thomas Harris' RED DRAGON where Francis Dolarhyde eats the Blake painting, what he believes to be the source of his pain and anguish. Have you done any research into this type of behavior? Something about the cyclical nature of you eating the painful words, producing the healing ones, it just makes me smile.
LY: I have read some about it, on a clinical spectrum it isn't such a healthy thing, like when kids eat dirt more than average… which I also did. So it's in that category of not quite right. I laughed when you brought up that scene, because I really identify with that, it's almost as if something magical happens when you consume the offending paper.
KC: Nuts and bolts time: take us through a writing day. Are you a lock the door and leave me alone type, do you have to be in public, longhand, any scrap of paper, what? Tell us about your process and environment.
LY: The process, I have a room in my house that is just mine for writing… and I'm not a person who has a problem with concentration… but I also have to say that my husband and son let it happen. If my door is closed, he tells them that they can't open that door because my mom is writing. I don't force myself to write, but when I write, I tend to write in eight hour chunks, skip showers, drink a lot, etc… I think it's important to say this out loud, because so many writers are taught that they have to write a certain way, when you should simply make the writing life that works for you.
KC: We are fans of the writer's workshop around here, and you've found yourself in one with some heavy company (Monica Drake, some guy named Chuck, Chelsea Cain, and others). How do you bear up in that group? Is it easy? Intimidating? A refinery?
LY: You gotta bring game. You show up with your piece, when it's your turn, and you have to deliver to these people who read and write excellent material. It's wonderful and nurturing and great, but it's also incredibly challenging. You gotta bring the best, not to impress, but it allows you to feel present and respected for doing this thing that no one should ever chose to do – be a writer.
KC: What are you reading right now? Anything good?
LY: I've been on sabbatical all year and I've counted them all up and I've read fifty-two books in a year. It has been such an experience to be in books for a whole year. Oh and you know how the Publishing Industry is having an earthquake right now? Well the stuff that is usually ignored comes up to the surface… Indie presses are doing okay again, but there are these little cracks and fissures where some really cool stuff comes up.
KC: You're working on a novel next, right? What can you tell us about it?
LY: I just finished one based on the relationship between Sigmund Freud and Dora, one of his patients - only in contemporary terms. That was the most fun book I've written in my life. Now I'm working on a novel based on Joan of Arc, only again in the future, but only a few years away. This one is harder and trickier to write. Dora and Joan of Arc are young women I've really wanted to write about. You would love my Dora.
KC: Well I think I've monopolized enough of your time, so thank you so much for answering my questions, thank you for the time, the honesty, and for giving us THE CHRONOLOGY OF WATER.
LY: My pleasure! Cheers!

This means that an expert of the internet company will pay a personal visit to the business in question and access their various needs. They can suggest different ways for the business to improve, such as upgrading to newer technologies. A Lawndale, CA ISP should also be able to let the company know the amount of bandwidth that they need. This will be calculated on the number of employees that work within the company and how many devices are currently being used. A remote management of devices may also be suggested by the ISP provider to manage the business more effectively.
Your business may suffer a lot when it takes hours to upload or download an important file. As a business owner, you will become frustrated. It is an unwise decision to choose lower speeds to save money because it will go against the interests of your business. You should not settle for what will barely allow your enterprise to operate every day. Your Lawndale, CA business internet should account for peak hours when there is traffic and multiple devices access the site. You should also consider the future growth of your business.
It is important to inquire about bandwidth caps and throttling when considering the internet bandwidth and speeds. You should ask whether the ISP has limitations based on the time of the day. Moreover, you should also inquire what factors lead to such limitations. Some ISPs may have the limitations hidden in the contract agreement.
A business should be cautious of providers that do not offer security protection. The best ISP companies in Lawndale, CA offer their clients anti-spam, anti-malware, anti-spyware, and anti-virus defense. Make sure to remind your internet provider to explain to you the details of the amount of protection that they offer. Furthermore, also find out whether they cover mobile and other devices that connect to the system. the backup capabilities of the provider are very essential. You should choose an internet provider that restores all data that was on the network whenever the system crushes. Many companies are shifting from backups situated at the work premises to cloud-based backups.
One of the best choices a business can make when signing up for business grade internet in Lawndale, CA is finding a provider that will offer them a Service Level Agreement. This agreement assures as close to uninterrupted internet service as possible and gives the business perks like credits off the bill if the internet is down for more than the period of time outlined in the agreement. In these tech-reliant times, businesses rely on their internet service speed and reliability for sales, productivity, customer satisfaction, and more.
Another important things to consider is the competence and experience of the ISP's technical support. There is always tech support available, but does the company you are considering employ tech personnel that can handle the issues your internet-reliant business could encounter? Can they do so in a timely manner? Make the best internet choice for your unique business. By entering your zip code and running a quick and easy provider search with Wirefly, you can see what has (and has not) worked for others in the past.
Certain areas of the country may offer limited choices when it comes to a business ISP. However, companies should still do an in-depth comparison before making their selection. This way companies can be certain of getting the most for their money. For instance, businesses in Lawndale, CA deserve an ISP that is prepared for the rapid advances in future technology. A good ISP will be able to adjust their services to keep up with the ever-evolving internet.
Moving forward businesses will need to transition to an IPv6 connection for all their internet services. This means that business ISPs must already be thinking about these issues. IPv6 is set to replace the old IPv4, as it provides a limitless number of IP addresses for websites. IPv6 also makes it easier to configure the internet, which should ultimately lead to greater savings for businesses when connecting to the internet. Ask those ISPs if they have started using IPv6 before deciding which one to use for internet service. It just may dramatically reduce expenses and increase production soon.
Wirefly offers great deals on a large selection of smartphones, cell phones, tablets, mobile hotspots, and other wireless devices for the nation's most popular carriers. Use Wirefly's innovative cell phone and plan comparison tools to ensure you are getting the best deal on the market. Shop with confidence knowing that Wirefly wants to help you find the best prices on cell phones, cell phone plans, TV, and Internet service.

Congress approves fiscal crisis bill
Congress gave its final approval Tuesday to a bill halting massive tax hikes and delaying a risky round of spending cuts, sending the package to the president's desk and likely averting for now an economy-stalling fiscal crisis. President Obama said he would sign it.
The 257-167 vote in the House came after a day of high drama on Capitol Hill, during which conservative House lawmakers voiced serious concern about the Senate bill's lack of spending cuts. Rank-and-file Republicans initially predicted they would tinker with the package, raising the possibility the Senate would abandon it and nothing would get done before the new congressional class is seated Thursday.
But House leaders soon learned they did not have a majority behind any spending-cut plan, and allowed the straight vote. Far more Democrats supported the final bill than Republicans.
The result, once Obama signs it, is that tax hikes that technically kicked in Jan. 1 for most Americans would largely be halted.
Obama, speaking at the White House shortly before midnight, thanked Vice President Biden for his role in negotiating with the Senate a day earlier on the compromise package. The president, as did Republicans on the Hill, cautioned that the bill will precede a broader debate in 2013 about deficit reduction.
"This law is just one step in the broader effort to strengthen our economy and broaden opportunity for everybody," Obama said – while appealing to Congress not to use a looming vote over the debt ceiling as leverage in that debate.
House Speaker John Boehner said shortly after the vote that Congress must now turn its attention to spending.
"The American people re-elected a Republican majority in the House, and we will use it in 2013 to hold the president accountable for the `balanced' approach he promised, meaning significant spending cuts and reforms to the entitlement programs that are driving our country deeper and deeper into debt," he said.
The bill passed by Congress would nix the 2013 tax increases for families making under $450,000, while letting rates rise for those making above that threshold. It would also extend unemployment insurance for another year, while patching up a host of other expiring provisions and delaying automatic spending cuts for two months. Those cuts, which would hit defense heavily, will instead be offset with a blend of tax increases and other spending cuts.
Americans will still see a 2-point increase this month in their Social Security tax, as Congress did not opt to extend that payroll tax holiday.
The final vote in the House put Boehner in a tricky position. The tally showed twice as many Democrats supporting the bill as Republicans – with 172 Democrats in favor, compared with 85 Republicans. It was enough to pass it, but ran afoul of the time-honored practice of passing bills that most members of the majority party support. While Boehner and former Republican vice presidential nominee Paul Ryan, R-Wis., voted for the bill, some of Boehner's top deputies – notably Republican Leader Eric Cantor, R-Va., and Whip Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif. – opposed it. Boehner is facing a vote to retain his speakership in a matter of days.
The House was able to shoehorn in the vote before the markets open Wednesday. Uncertainty about a deal threatened to wreak havoc on Wall Street. And economists warned that any prolonged stalemate into 2013 threatened to pull the broader economy back into a recession. In total, more than $600 billion in tax hikes and spending cuts were set to take effect this year.
The vote Tuesday came amid rising pressure from House Democrats and the Senate side, which approved the bill early Tuesday morning. Democrats made clear that they would pin the blame squarely on House Republicans if the tax hikes were not averted.
"This is the House's wisdom in making the best of a bad situation," one House GOP leadership aide told Fox News. "We had a bad hand from the start, but we're avoiding being blamed for taking us off the cliff."
Still, a number of House Republicans came out against the package, including Cantor.
Rep. Steve LaTourette, R-Ohio, said earlier that the sentiment among House Republicans was to amend the bill to incorporate more spending cuts. Rep. Spencer Bachus, R-Ala., echoed the statement.
But other Republicans, while voicing opposition to the bill, acknowledged that it could pass the House.
Congress already missed the New Year's Eve deadline for action, which technically triggered tax hikes. Without a resolution soon, taxes would have jumped by $2,400 on average for families with incomes of $50,000 to $75,000, according to a study by the nonpartisan Tax Policy Center. And because consumers would get less of their paychecks to spend, businesses and jobs would suffer as well.
House conservatives had begun voicing frustration Monday night about the lopsided ratio of tax increases in the plan, as compared with net spending cuts. The bill contained roughly $620 billion in tax hikes, and just a fraction of that in spending cuts. As one House Republican told Fox News, "I can't imagine a ratio such as that warming our fiscal hearts."
Not all Democrats were on board either. Many voiced frustration that tax hikes would only affect those making above $450,000 – when Obama originally campaigned on raising them for households making above $250,000.
"Looks like a very bad deal the way this is shaping up," Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, said Monday. Harkin voted against the Senate bill early Tuesday morning, as did Sens. Tom Carper, D-Del.; Mike Lee, R-Utah; Rand Paul, R-Ky.; Richard Shelby, R-Ala.; Michael Bennet, D-Colo.; Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa; and Marco Rubio, R-Fla.
The fiscal deal, though, still pushes off a permanent decision on the spending cuts until two months down the road, when lawmakers could find themselves in a similar position. And lawmakers are poised to renew a fight in a matter of weeks over raising the debt ceiling – which the U.S. government would have hit Dec. 31 if not for the Treasury Department taking emergency measures.

"Well, who�s this cute little guy?� the vet asked as I lifted Teddy to the examination table.
"Well, who�s this cute little guy?� the vet asked as I lifted Teddy to the examination table.
�This is Teddy Bear,� I said proudly, realizing that I should probably just have called him �Teddy.� I had not met this veterinarian, and did not want to immediately reveal to a stranger that I am a certified dog-spoiler.
He began examining my little Shih Tzu, and we discussed his need of booster vaccinations. The doc pointed out what appeared to be an allergy on Teddy�s back paws.
But when he then said � Hmmmm ?� it caught my attention. His finger was rubbing the top of Teddy�s head as if he had discovered something puzzling or troubling.
�What is this?� he said aloud.
I glanced over at the top of my trembling pet�s head and noticed a small patch of red on the white part of his fur. Then it hit me, and I began to laugh as I explained to the puzzled vet.
�He was trembling while sitting on my lap in the waiting room, so I leaned over and kissed him on the head to reassure him, leaving a trace of my ruby-red lipstick.�
The doctor tried not to laugh, although he was smiling loudly! His assistant was not quite as reticent, and as he leaned over and peered into Teddy�s eyes, he commented: �A little spoiled, huh, Teddy Bear?�
I had been found out!
I laughed all the way home from the vet�s office, but then I thought more about the experience.
The �red mark� had said a great deal. It was a clear indication of affection given to a beloved pet that was experiencing fear. Love was expressed as an attempt to calm him, and the giver of love was concerned about the one who needed the reassurance. I was not embarrassed, well maybe just a little bit, that the doctor discovered my obvious love for Teddy when he found the �mark� on his forehead. But caring for my little pet was my mission at the moment.
What have I learned from this humorous adventure to the vet�s office?
As I thought about it, the phrase �I saw the mark� came to mind.
When God instructed the Israelites to put blood on the top and sides of the doorframes of their houses, it was because of His love for them. When the death angel saw the blood, he passed over their houses during the hour of judgment. (Ex 12:7 ,12 -13).
In the New Testament, Paul wrote about a �mark� on Christians, a seal indicating that believers are loved and �have been kissed by God.� �Christ anointed us and set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit guaranteeing what is to come.� (2 Cor. 1:22) Do you have the �red mark� on your head? It is a sign of love, you know!

The Miz: No. 1 In The "PWI 500"!
I invite you to visit www.pwi-online.com to check out the cover and read the story that includes Miz' somewhat surprising reaction.
One note: Before anyone jumps down our throats for making Miz number one when he's clearly had a hard time of it since scoring a tainted victory over John Cena at WrestleMania 27, please keep in mind that the evaluation period for the "500" is from June 1, 2010, to May 31, 2011.

What a bunch of crock, that just wants 2 make me throw up. I loved reading ur magazines every time I purchase one, but this has to b the dumbest idea I have ever heard of. Making him #1 of the Top 500 Superstars, What r u high? All of his matches (including the Main Event of WrestleMania 27) is the worst matches I have seen. Thats like saying Bob Ucker is the best homerun hitter of the year, or even Big Dick Johnson being the #1 of Top 50 Greatest Superstars of All-Time. What the hell?

Seriously The Fiz? "Really?". Why not put a REAL wrestler like Punk? WWE made it clear, they're not a wrestling company with wrestlers so making him #1 is outrageous.

- July 30, 2011 at 3:03 AM
I'm sure some did a double take when Malenko got the top spot in, was it '97 maybe, because he wasn't HBK or Sting or someone like that. And no I did not compare Malenko to the Miz, don't Molotov my house.
- July 30, 2011 at 10:19 PM
So when will the list start coming out?

I'm not going to jump on anyone here. I have to ask though... what goes into your considerations for rankings? I once saw Luger high up there... if that guy can be in the top 10... then anyone can. I like Miz... he's improved greatly. His suits are unique when he was wearing them.. he had his own flare to them.. so he wasn't a complete Jericho rip off. His finishing move makes sense. However, he's going into more Cena lazy mode anymore.. his matches are all looking the same.. we just don't know if he's winning or losing.. unlike Cena. Cena needs a long injury... he's over saturated & since he refuses to take time off... that's the only way to allow others to get a real push. Though.. having Miz hold the title for so long.. even through Mania was unexpected. I see Cena being a damn 14x champ by Rumble '12. WWE will NOT allow the title to switch unless it goes through Cena.

If you're unfamiliar with "electrofunk" group Chromeo, you better ask somebody. Chromeo is based out of Canada and is comprised of Dave 1 (phenomenal DJ and brother of DJ A-Trak) and P-Thugg. The two met in Canada, where they were born and raised, and founded what they call the "only successful Arab/Jew partnership since the dawn of human culture." The duo has recently released their second album, entitled Fancy Footwork on Vice Records, which features singles "Fancy Footwork" and "Momma's Boy." I've spent quite a bit of time on the group's MySpace, and though such a place is not always the most credible of sources for an album's description, theirs is likely the most unique and hilarious I've ever read: "Chromeo, the band reborn…the sex, the beats, the dream the suits, the gloves, the laughs, the tears, the past and the future. All rolled up into one big blunt, smoked up through P's talkbox tube and exhaled into your brain. Enjoy." Definitely a dope album that you should pick up, and for now, check out the video for "Momma's Boy." Oh, and also check out the brand-new Fancy Fancier Footwork, featuring remixes and fresh material from the duo. Chromeo – "Momma's Boy" Video

RFF event addresses carbon accounting, forest management
Resources for the Future recently hosted a seminar focused on carbon accounting and forest management. The event, titled "Considering the Contributions of Forests in the Management of Greenhouse Gas Emissions," was cosponsored by the Society of American Foresters.
Roger Sedjo, senior fellow and director of the Forest Economics and Policy Program at RFF moderated the discussion, noting forests can play an important role in moderating greenhouse gas emissions. When it comes to monitoring net biogenic emissions from bioenergy facilities, he said there are two major options. The first focuses on individual facilities. The second involves monitoring the overall stock of wood in the forest. "A huge advantage of the second approach is its low cost compared with detailed monitoring of individual facilities," Sedjo said, noting the U.S. Forest Service already collects much of the data that is needed.

Coloring allows your child creativity to blossom, but it also provides insight into a child emotions, and often child psychologists will utilize this tool to learn more about a child feelings or frame of mind at a particular time. This is another great benefit of coloring for children, it can help you to understand how exactly your child feels at any given time.
