I am a BIG NFL Draft guy.
Yes, I am that guy who buys the draft guys every year who sits in front of the TV, Thursday night, Friday night and most of Saturday watching seven days of the draft. I know what you're saying:
"Wow that sexy guy is living the life"," I know, right?
But seriously, I am true draft junkie and when you throw in Twitter in the mix, I constantly checking to see who might go where.
So on episode three of the Digital Life with Kevin Lockett podcast, I decided to interview Aki Jones from the NFL Draft Bible.
The digital slant of our discussion is that Aki and the NFL Draft Bible has a Blogtalk Radio show and YouTube Channel where they interviews players.
When I first started researching podcasting, Blogtalk was something I strongly considered, but I decided to pre-tape my interviews instead of going live.
Blogtalk Radio is actually a pretty good platform for podcasting, but the you can only upload shows 30 minutes and under for the free service and my first few podcasts were about 40 minutes each (learning how to edit out interesting content is one of the toughest things about podcasting, but its getting easier).
But enough of me jabbering away!
Click on the podcast below and take a listen to Aki Jones and I discuss Blogtalk video, the diference between podcast interviews vs video ones and the NFL Draft prospects for my long suffering Cleveland Browns.

Channel 4 confirms plans for The Majestic as National HQ
02 April 2019
Channel 4 confirms plans for The Majestic as National HQ
Channel 4 has confirmed it is advanced negotiations to take space at The Majestic for its new national headquarters in Leeds.
The broadcaster is planning to lease more than 25,000 sq ft of space on the third, fourth and fifth floors of the building from Rushbond Group.
The offices will be home to Channel 4 roles from across the organisation as well as a major hub for its news division
The negotiations are being led by CBRE on behalf of Channel 4 and it is envisaged that the broadcaster will move in to the building in the second half of 2020.
Ahead of the move, Channel 4 is agreeing terms with Bruntwood to lease space in the West Gate development on Grace Street in Leeds City Centre – and will begin to move staff there from September 2019.
In the interim, it will lease a smaller space in Bruntwood's Platform building in the city centre from May.
The Majestic is located the heart of Leeds city centre, overlooking the City Square and opposite Leeds Railway Station. It originally opened as a cinema, restaurant and ballroom in 1922 and is currently undergoing a major redevelopment by owner Rushbond Group.
Jonathan Allan, Channel 4's chief commercial officer, said: "Leeds offered a wealth of potential locations for our National HQ but the Majestic really stood out as an iconic building which will put Channel 4 at the heart of the city centre.
"It's an incredibly impressive redevelopment and offers the right mix of location, connectivity and space for our organisation and great facilities for our staff and our partners in the industry."
Mark Finch, Rushbond director - real estate, added: "We are delighted to be working with Channel 4 and assisting in the delivery of its National HQ to Leeds.
"The ongoing development repositions this iconic and much loved building in the City Square landscape and Channel 4's decision affirms the undoubted calibre of the Majestic."
The new national headquarters in the Majestic will accommodate staff from a range of different departments, including the managing director, nations and regions, programme commissioners, the new Digital Creative Unit – producing and commissioning content to reach audiences on digital and social platforms – and staff across a variety of creative, digital, operational and supporting functions.
Channel 4 News will also base its news hub in the building and will regularly co-anchor the programme from a new studio, which will be built within the space.

I'd like to introduce you to Debbie. She is a large, Garden Orb Weaving Spider that lives on my balcony in Australia. I rarely get a good look at her because she is a night spider that sits in the middle of her giant web from sunset until very early morning. She is hoping to catch some large insects for dinner such as flies, beetles and occasionally a cicada. Some nights if she hasn't had much luck catching bugs, she stays out a little longer in the morning, which is when I got to take this great photo of her. I even fed her a large blow fly that had flown into my kitchen after I stunned it with the fly squatter. For a hefty spider, she certainly ran faster than I expected towards the fly I stuck to her web. She immediately wrapped it up, took it to the center of the web and ate him – she must have been hungry! During the day when she is not in the web, she is contently tucked away into her sleeping hole in one of the bricks of my balcony. She will sadly only live a year, as they generally die out in late Autumn to early Winter. Before that happens, she will try to find a mate and lay eggs in late Summer to Autumn encased in a silky cocoon. Unlike some other spiders, males and females are similar in size. The babies will hatch not long after and catch the breeze with their little silk balloon to relocate to a new home. Hopefully there will be many more little Debbies to share my home with and admire.
The dragonfly that stood still and smiled
It might not have been the prettiest of colours, but this dragonfly stood still long enough for me to get some pretty good photos. Not only did it sit for a while, but even smiled for the photo (well not really, its mouth parts just give that impression). If you Google "dragonfly faces", you get quite a selection of adorable dragonfly closeups showing you the different expressions of various dragonflies, some are very happy and others are quite grumpy looking. It's an odd sight considering a dragonfly face is not something many of us get to see, especially since they're mostly whizzing around at top speeds between 30-60 km/h (19-38 mph).
Sometimes blending in is more important than standing out
Looking at this photograph I started to wonder – What is the difference between a butterfly and a moth? Simple, right? Not so much. For every rule, there are always exceptions and this is no different. However, here are some of the (exceptions aside) differences between moths and butterflies.
Butterflies are generally a day creature (diurnal) while moths prefer the night (nocturnal). Due to this distinction, moths are usually colored grey, black and brown, while butterflies generally show off brilliantly colored wings. Butterflies have slender bodies and long, thin antennae with a club-shaped end, while moths are stout and furry and have feather-like antennae. Butterflies rest with their wings up (like the butterfly in this image), whereas moths rest with wings down. During metamorphosis, moths make a silk cocoon, whereas butterflies make a smooth and hard chrysalis.
Although these are the general rules, this particular butterfly is not so brightly colored, and for the most part sat with wings down against this tree (see image below). I think these traits ensure successful camouflage with the bark of this tree, and therefore a greater likelihood this butterfly evades predation. This reminded me of the classic evolutionary tale of the peppered moths (for more info follow this link).
Friday Flower – A close look at a zinnia
Sometimes it's more interesting to look at something familiar from a different perspective to gain renewed appreciation. Have you ever looked at a zinnia this close before? I discovered a tiny forest of golden furry trees arranged in a perfect circle surrounded by a bed of brilliant red petals. Each yellow tree has a trunk filled with nectar that attracts bees, butterflies and moths. Each visitor gets a secret powdering of yellow pollen to transport to subsequent flowers, unknowingly becoming a pollen postal service. I go the garden to relax, unwind and refresh my mind, and while everything around me may seem tranquil, it is in fact the opposite – each and every flower, every insect and every plant is very hard at work.
Friday Flower – Pink with an Eastern Black Swallowtail Butterfly
Ok, so this photo is not so much about a flower as it about the stunning black butterfly perched delicately on these tiny pink flowers. Those large dark wings with golden circles and a powdering of shimmery blue. The signature elongated wing tips of a swallowtale and delicate lines of white dots along the abdomen. This butterfly truly turns heads as it flutters past and really tested my patience as I waited for it to sit still long enough for a photo that was in focus. I will dearly miss the warmer months this year as the weather is already getting too cold for my liking, and we still have so much further to go into the cold abyss of winter. Have a warm weekend everyone!

Friday Flower – Yellow zinnia with a yellowjacket
This cute little bug might seem adorable sitting on a matching, bright yellow flower, but do not be deceived as it is a fearsome, predatory wasp. A yellowjacket wasp that lives in a colony underground and can pack a pretty nasty sting as many times as it wants. If you disturb or injure one of these wasps near their home, they send out a distress signal to all of their friends and relatives as a sign that they must attack and defend. At that point you have no choice but to make a run for it! Cute photo though.
Friday Flower – Ironweed with a monarch
Ironweed is a species of plant within the larger genus of Veronia. They have very distinct and intense purple flowers, which are a fantastic pairing of colors for this stunning orange monarch butterfly. I was very lucky that this gem sat still long enough to get a photo of it's wonderful spots. When summer ended I made sure to take my camera to the local flower gardens to catch the last of the butterflies before they depart during the colder months. Ironweed is a great addition to your garden to make sure that the butterflies come to visit. For other posts on butterflies please click here.
Happy weekend everyone!

Cards will carry on without Holliday
Left fielder will be missed, but club always finds a way to win
DENVER -- The St. Louis Cardinals have run into another detour. Left fielder Matt Holliday is now on the 15-day disabled list with a strained right quadriceps muscle
Holliday had been the constant as the No. 3 hitter in the lineup for the first-place Cardinals until that third-inning injury forced him out of Monday's game, and landed him on the DL Tuesday.
• Holliday placed on 15-day DL
And as important as Holliday has been to the success in St. Louis, there's no time for mourning in the Cards' clubhouse.
Video: [email protected]: Holliday injures knee pursuing fly ball
Oh, they will miss Holliday, just like they are missing right-handed pitcher Adam Wainwright, who made four starts before being knocked out for the season by a torn left Achilles on April 26. And they will miss him just like they are missing first baseman Matt Adams, sidelined two weeks ago with a right quadriceps strain of his own, which required surgery.
The Cardinals, however, are looking ahead at what they have, not behind them at what they have lost. What they have is the best record in baseball (38-21) and a .644 winning percentage. They have a 6 1/2-game lead on the second-place Cubs and Pirates in the National League Central. The Rockies, in last place in the NL West, are a half-game closer to the first-place Dodgers than the Cubs are to the Cards.
And the Cardinals have a history of looking past what went wrong.
"We have to stay the course," manager Mike Matheny said. "We can't buy into the `Woe is me,' or the `This is one thing we can't handle.' … This is a chance for someone to come in and get an opportunity."
That's the Cards way. It's why they are looking for a 12th postseason trip in 16 seasons. It's why they are looking for a third World Series appearance in the past five seasons.
It is a mentality that was evident the first day of Spring Training to Cardinals newcomer Matt Belisle, a Draft choice of the Braves, who also pitched for the Reds and most recently the Rockies.
"The expectation to win is at the forefront," said Belisle, "and it is all the way to the top of the organization, not just in the clubhouse. It's a part of the Cardinals' culture."
It is a mindset that is ingrained in every player who wears a Cards uniform.
There are no highs. There are no lows. There is a job to get done.
"After a game, there might be a brief excitement after a win or disappointment after a loss, but not for long," said Belisle. "When a game is over, what matters is the next game. They have been winning so long, it is easy to say, but you have to live each day, each game, as it comes up."
Wainwright, the ace of the rotation, was placed on the disabled list April 26. The next day, the Redbirds embarked on an eight-game winning streak. Michael Wacha, who missed three months last season with a stress fracture in his right scapula, stepped into the No. 1 slot in the rotation, and after initially piecing things together, Matheny filled the open rotation spot when Jaime Garcia came off the disabled list.
Wacha took the 4-3 loss at Colorado on Wednesday night. He, however, is 8-2, one victory behind NL leader Gerrit Cole of the Pirates, and has a 2.45 ERA, one of the 10 best among NL starters.
Adams, the primary cleanup hitter and left-handed-hitting protection for Holliday in the lineup, left after three innings of that May 26 game against Arizona. Not only did the Cardinals win that game, 6-4, but with Jhonny Peralta moving into the cleanup spot, the Cards won seven of their next nine games.
"It's all business," said Belisle. "It's about knowing what to do and how it should be down. It's about acquiring the right type of individuals and having them buy into the program. The Cardinals are able to do that."
Now it's about once again revamping that middle of the lineup. On Tuesday, it had Jon Jay, coming back from last season's wrist surgery, moving into left field, hitting seventh, and veteran Mark Reynolds, who has replaced Adams at first place, moving into the cleanup spot with Peralta hitting third.
"We'll try some things and find the right fit," said Matheny.
And there is no reason to doubt that. The Cardinals have shown that ability to ignore adversity and embrace success.

Breed Street Shul
According to the LA Times Neighborhood Mapping Project, 52.4% of the Boyle Heights community is foreign born. This trend of being foreign born has largely defined the Boyle Heights community, earning it the slogan "All Roads Lead to Boyle Heights." While this currently means it's 94% Latino, in the early half of the 20th century, Boyle Heights largely provided a home for Russians and Jews. Canter's, the famed West Hollywood Jewish deli, opened its doors in Boyle Heights in 1931. It may have even provided meals for members of, what was then, the largest Orthodox Synagogue on the West coast- Congregation Talmud Torah of Los Angeles. That congregation built the brick, Breed Street Shul in 1923, near the intersection Breed St. and Brooklyn Ave.(what we now call Cesar Chavez Ave.). Though Congregation Talmud Torah officially closed in 1996 and underwent serious vandalization, it's being repaired by the Southern California Jewish Historical Society and will soon open its doors as a community center.

So far this week has been a whirlwind of stress and panic, as I am having a garage sale this weekend, I overbooked myself for the whole week, and my 14 month old has been in a whiny, tantrum-throwing, molar-teething mess of a mood. I'm desperate to finish even one thing this week, but I have yet to complete any single task. [Although I've let go of my official to-do list as I talked about here, I must still be practical about taking care of my home sometimes. Bummer.]
It's 11:00 at night about one day away from the garage sale, and I'm sorting through totes of clothes to see what I might sell. I've got them strewn across the living room floor so I can see them in their piles when I hear the familiar buzz of the baby monitor followed by staccato, and then drawn-out cries. There she is.
I sigh to myself and wait a minute to see if she falls back to sleep on her own. Sometimes she does. Not this time. I throw my head back, looking at the ceiling as if to will her back to sleep, and when my effort fails, my head falls forward and I stand.
I tip-toe through her room and approach the side of her crib as if my hushed footprints will lull her back to dreamland. This time she's standing with her eyes still closed, and it's apparent to me that she's still in a slight state of slumber. She somehow senses I'm there, shuffles over, and instantly climbs up into my arms and attaches herself to me--her tiny curled fingers resting on my shoulder, her other arm stretched around my side and gripping my back, her legs wrapped around my waist, and her nose nuzzled into the crook of my neck. She exhales.
After lowering myself into the rocking chair and doing my best not to disturb her, I finally relax into the cushioned wood and develop a rhythm of rocking.
And it occurs to me: I am her place. At the exact moment of contact, she let go of whatever upset her, and she was filled with peace. Asleep again in my arms, she melted into me. Just as my mother is comfort, and my husband is safety--I am to her. I am her place.
I rocked her like that for a long time. It was not for her; for she was fast asleep. It was for me.
Reluctantly, slowly, I raise myself to stand. I glide across the room to her crib and gently lay her onto her mattress.
Thank you, God. I nearly took this time for granted. I nearly let myself forget that these days are limited. I don't know when the next time will be that she will sleep on me so soundly, and I don't know when it will be the last. Thank you for reminding me.
Someday if Nick and I are old and gray, she may be my place. She may be my comfort, and she may wrap those same sweet arms around me and nuzzle me and hold me until I fall asleep.

text: Multitasking-the performance of several tasks at the same time-is becoming increasingly prevalent in workplaces. Multitasking is known to disrupt performance, particularly in complex and dynamic situations, which is exactly what most military occupations entail. Because military errors can be consequential, the detrimental impact of multitasking on cognitive functioning in such contexts should be taken seriously. This review pertains to high-consequence military occupations that require strong multitasking skills. More specifically, it highlights cognitive challenges arising from different forms of multitasking and discusses their underlying cognitive processes. Because such challenges are not expected to diminish, this review proposes context-relevant solutions to decrease occupational workload, either by reducing the cognitive load ensuing from the to-be-performed tasks or by improving soldiers' multitasking abilities. To ensure effective implementation of these solutions, we stress the need to design context-adapted tools and procedures, and to guide human resource managers in developing particular strategies.

Photography and videography are usually all about careful framing before taking the shot. This new breed of 360-degree cameras flips that on its head, capturing the view in all directions and allowing the viewer to pick their angle later.
There are some big, pro-level rigs on offer such as theGoPro Omni, but 360-degree video and photos aren't just for the pros.
The process used to involve manually stitching together shots in expensive specialist software, combining shots from a number of separate cameras. While it's possible to take that approach if you want to be able to fine tune results, the beauty of these consumer 360-degree cameras is that they do most of the work for you.
The five cameras in this lineup, while not exactly budget options, mean that you can put together your own spherical world views (along with a compatible smartphone). We find out which one is the best one to take out and about.

Life on the Farm: Maui's Ultimate Agricultural Properties
Posted by Staff Writer on Monday, January 15th, 2018 at 9:32am
Running a farm can be hard work, but there's nothing that compares to the feeling of being self-sufficient and helping to provide for your community.
From raising grass-fed cattle to growing tropical flowers and produce, there are plenty of opportunities on Maui to invest in agricultural properties. Along with the perks that come with working in the sun and the fresh air is the fact that you're also helping the community become more sustainable.
For the sake of boosting your mental health and the health of the 'aina, here are a few farms and ranches properties ready to be your next agricultural adventure.
Located on the slopes of Haleakala, this 27-acre property is home to Howard's Nurseries, one of Hawaii's top producing landscape and flower nurseries. This property is perfect for those interested in their own cultivation operation, which could range from a nursery to farm.
Along with the property, potential buyers also have the chance to buy the business for $1.2 million. Or, start your own business with state-of-the-art agricultural equipment and infrastructure, ranging from a 1-acre under-roof Dutch greenhouse to numerous irrigated shad greenhouses. There's also three farm dwellings, tractors, farm equipment and water tanks.
This is truly one of Maui's most unique agricultural properties - and the ultimate opportunity to jump into a successful nursery operation.
Want to live on an agricultural property but not have to worry about the hard work? This is your perfect chance to live in the midst of vibrant coffee fields without having to worry about growing the beans yourself.
Located on the Kaanapali Coffee Farms, this lot will be home to a magnificent Plantation-style home with all the modern amenities. Some of the details include a master suite equipped with an outdoor shower in a garden, top-of-the-line appliances and Fleetwood pocketing doors in the great room that open up to an expansive lanai with a pool.
Azure ocean views and picturesque rolling fields of coffee plants surround the home, which is located in one of Maui's most premier resort regions. The best part is that Maui Grown Coffee cares for the coffee plants and agricultural work, but owners reap rewards based on coffee sales.
Nestled on the slopes of Haleakala minutes from the historic Makawao town, Piiholo Ranch is home to one of Maui's biggest cattle ranches. This is your chance to own a piece of the ranch, which includes nearly 150 acres of land and premium equestrian infrastructure.
This slice of equestrian paradise includes a 4,400 sq. ft. barn, multiple fenced paddocks and a full-sized arena, which has hosted equestrian activities ranging from horsemanship clinics to competitions over the years. There's also a 1,700 sq. ft. home equipped with two bedrooms and two bathrooms located in the heart of this operating cattle ranch.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – Fox16 created Victory over Violence to help curb some of the violence happening in our communities.
It is meant to inspire communities to come together and to encourage young people that there is a better way of life.
Community Philanthropist and Author, Kevin Hunt Sr. is perhaps one of the best people to get that message across. Having been a high school dropout and gang member, he knows what life on the streets is all about.
Hunt admits to being illiterate in the 9th grade when he dropped out of school.
He survived a gunshot wound and incarceration to later earn a GED and eventually graduate with honors from a masters program.
Watch his fascinating story in this edition of Terrell Talk with Fox16's Donna Terrell.

Benefits vs Harms for Osteoporosis Drug Continuation or DiscontinuationBy Jack Cush, MD | 08 July 2019
While it is clear that long-term bisphosphonate therapies reduce fracture risk in women with osteoporosis, it is unclear how to counter-balance these benefits against rare serious harms and how to optimize therapeutic benefits with appropriate drug holidays.
A systematic analysis of 48 studies compared long-term osteoporosis drug treatment (ODT) (>3 years) versus control versus ODT continuation versus durg discontinuation, to examine incident fractures or harms.
In women with osteoporosis, 4 years of alendronate reduced clinical fractures (hazard ratio [HR], 0.64 [95% CI, 0.50 to 0.82]) and radiographic vertebral fractures (both moderate SOE), whereas 4 years of raloxifene reduced vertebral but not nonvertebral fractures. In women with osteopenia or osteoporosis, 6 years of zoledronic acid reduced clinical fractures (HR, 0.73 [CI, 0.60 to 0.90]), including nonvertebral fractures (high SOE) and clinical vertebral fractures (moderate strength of evidence - SOE).
Long-term bisphosphonates showed an increased risk for atypical femoral fractures and osteonecrosis of the jaw (both low SOE). In women with unspecified osteoporosis status, 5 to 7 years of hormone therapy reduced clinical fractures (high SOE), including hip fractures (moderate SOE), but increased serious harms.
After 3 to 5 years of treatment, bisphosphonate continuation versus discontinuation reduced radiographic vertebral fractures (zoledronic acid; low SOE) and clinical vertebral fractures (alendronate; moderate SOE) but not nonvertebral fractures (low SOE).
Trials and data in men with clinical fracture data were sparse.
No trials compared sequential treatments or different durations of drug holidays.
It appears that long-term bisphosphonate treatment may increase risk for rare adverse events, and continuing treatment beyond 3 to 5 years may also reduce the risk for fractures.
Until there are well designed trials informing us on the magnitude of benefit vs. risk with drug holidays of varying duration, the decision to continue or discontinue ODT must be based on the individuals risk for future fracture.

text: Having Pike, Spock and the Enterprise this season is exciting enough and now we're getting a revisit to Talos IV. And who knows, maybe we'll find out why a visit to the forbidden planet carries the death penalty. What else can we hope for if they do choose to further explore the events set up in "The Cage"? Maybe something that sheds light on why the Talosians were on more friendly terms with Pike and were willing to take him back to live out his days after his accident? Or perhaps a visit from Vina? Could they also begin to explain the show's visual reboot itself? We're dealing with Talosians, time travel and a statement from the producers saying that this season will line up with TOS, after all. Or they could leave all that for another time, if ever. How much this serves as a follow-up to "The Cage" remains to be seen. Whatever happens, we're in for a real treat. Now here's what we will get… "Spock and Burnham head to Talos IV, where the process of healing Spock forces the siblings to confront their troubled past. Stamets desperately tries to reconnect with an increasingly disconnected Hugh, while Tyler struggles to shed the crew's suspicions of him due to his past as Voq." - Memory Alpha This has been a pretty good season so far and it's the first time in two decades that I truly look forward to Trek every week instead of just watching out of loyalty.

Product description
Few Champagne producers are able to combine muscle and intensity with such poise and class the way that Clouet is able to. Out of Clouet's impressive line-up, no wine highlights Clouet's ability to walk the line between power and elegance greater than his rosé. . As Michael Edwards writes in The Finest Wines of Champagne, "It is an intriguingly rich heather color, and primary Pinot aromas leap from the glass, yet the Champagne is admirably fresh, focused and poised." Clouet's Rosé is likely his most vinous and serious cuvée. It is Champagne with gravitas, with the mysterious weight of fine red Burgundy. Not to mention, the red fruit profile and sleek poise. Yet, there is textured chalky minerality that's purely Champagne.View all products by Andre ClouetCalifornia Residents: Click here for Proposition 65 WARNING

"[S]he could see her story going on, her people there in the past—a way of imagining that grounds her," writes Tess Taylor in her debut full-length poetry collection The Forage House ("Meeting Karen White, Descendent of Jefferson's Gardener Wormley"). While these words describe someone other than the collection's primary speaker, they prove an apt summary of Taylor's first book: in The Forage House, we witness a personal discovery of family history and how it colors the speaker's present. Throughout the collection, Taylor's first-person speaker finds herself immersed in the vivid reality of her family's past, a past that spans a period from Thomas Jefferson to a Confederate soldier who survived Gettysburg to her parents' early years of marriage living in a Brooklyn commune. The Forage House presents the simultaneous distance and unshakeable presence of history through poems that bridge research and imagination, the distant past and the lived present.
Taylor's most notable ancestor—Thomas Jefferson—acts as the volume's lynchpin. Two poems in, we're with Taylor's speaker as she inspects an archaeological dig in a field a half mile from Monticello. "Inheritors of absences, we peer / into the five-by-five foot ledge," she notes, juxtaposing the bare reality of archaeology with lyrical description of what history makes of us ("Eighteenth Century Remains"). For the speaker, the things left out of her family's history haunt her most, Jefferson's slave children forcing her to reconstruct her theories. "Erasures are deliberate and accidental. Erasures are deliberate," she writes, showing us the process of readjusting her thought based on what her research brings to light ("Meeting Karen White, Descendent of Jefferson's Gardener Wormley"). In a long poem, "A Letter to Jefferson from Monticello," Taylor's speaker addresses Jefferson directly as "O hypocrite," but by the poem's end, he becomes "ambitious foundering father I revere & hate & see myself in." Taylor doesn't simply settle for either hate or reverence but chooses instead to show us both options, arguing that both have a place in our understanding of history.
Accuracy plays a key role in Taylor's ability to see both good and bad. In The Forage House, accuracy takes the form of details, whether as a meticulous recording of objects or the use of historical documents, including family papers and oral histories. In "Museum of the Confederacy," Taylor notes "tatters delicate as widows' laces," "Lee's tarnished bowls," and "the Davis boy's toy musket," but then juxtaposes them against the present reality of "the state hospital . . . / smelling like sour cafeteria pizza, sweat," and the presence of smokers and freeways. Historical documents take the form of family papers or eyewitness accounts from living relatives, and Taylor uses these resources to astonishing effect. In "Oral History 1963," for instance, Taylor recounts a violently suppressed march in Danville, North Carolina during the Civil Rights era and her grandfather's attempt to stand up to the judge who sentenced the demonstrators to fines and labor. The poem summarizes a newspaper article on the demonstration and quotes her grandfather's letter to the judge, conveying the horror of the situation and imbuing the grandfather with a sense of heroism. But at the poem's end, Taylor admits that he "backpedaled," and the poem concludes with the judge's words: "Mr. Taylor, you should have considered your wife & children." Taylor uses arrangement to her advantage, piecing together the scraps of experience to create a memorable whole.
Although Taylor weaves together scenes from the past with conviction, she also doesn't argue for one authoritative version of events. In The Forage House's final poem, Taylor's speaker envisions her mother, in the past, moving from research in a library in India to elopement with the man who will become Taylor's father. As in the poems throughout the collection, rich details fill this imagining: "a Maharaja's crooked portrait" and "moldering civil servants' maps, tobacco tariffs" give way to a landscape where "cows paw garbage fires at dusk," and "prayers rise like minarets" ("Bombay Archive 1975"). However compelling these details, as the poem concludes the speaker's mother gets the last word: "And, No, my mother says, you haven't listened. / No, it wasn't like that really—" For all the depth of research evident in this collection, Taylor boldly admits—and embraces—her potentially flawed position as a poet. She invites us to not only inhabit the past with her, but also to examine the impossibility of ever really knowing it completely. Because of Taylor's candor, The Forage House succeeds as both historical record and a well-written poetry collection, a memorable combination that invites us to inhabit Taylor's vision of the past.

The perennially bestselling, extraordinary, one-of-a-kind, "nothing short of spectacular" (Entertainment Weekly) memoir from one of the world's most gifted storytellers.
The Glass Castle is a remarkable memoir of resilience and redemption, and a revelatory look into a family at once deeply dysfunctional and uniquely vibrant. When sober, Jeannette's brilliant and charismatic father captured his children's imagination, teaching them physics, geology, and how to embrace life fearlessly. But when he drank, he was dishonest and destructive. Her mother was a free spirit who abhorred the idea of domesticity and didn't want the responsibility of raising a family.
The Walls children learned to take care of themselves. They fed, clothed, and protected one another, and eventually found their way to New York. Their parents followed them, choosing to be homeless even as their children prospered.
The Glass Castle is truly astonishing—a memoir permeated by the intense love of a peculiar but loyal family.
About the Author
Praise For The Glass Castle: A Memoir…
— People
"Walls has a God-given knack for spinning a yarn, and The Glass Castle is nothing short of spectacular."
— Entertainment Weekly
— Time
"Each memory is more incredible than the last... That Walls recounts them so well and in such detail is our good fortune."
— The Plain Dealer
"On the eighth day, when God was handing out whining privileges, he came upon Jeannette Walls and said, 'For you, an unlimited lifetime supply.' Apparently, Walls declined His kind offer."
— Chicago Tribune
"Charles Dickens's scenes of poverty and hardship are no more audacious and no more provocative than those in the pages of this stunning memoir."
— The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Some people are born storytellers. Some lives are worth telling. The best memoirs happen when these two conditions converge. In The Glass Castle, they have."
— New York Newsday
"The Glass Castle is the kind of story that keeps you awake long after the rest of the house has fallen asleep."
— Vogue
"The Glass Castle is nothing short of spectacular."
— Entertainment Weekly
Conversation Starters from ReadingGroupChoices.com
- Though The Glass Castle is brimming with unforgettable stories, which scenes were the most memorable for you? Which were the most shocking, the most inspiring, the funniest?
- Discuss the metaphor of a glass castle and what it signifies to Jeannette and her father. Why is it important that, just before leaving for New York, Jeannette tells her father that she doesn't believe he'll ever build it?
- The first story Walls tells of her childhood is that of her burning herself severely at age three, and her father dramatically takes her from the hospital: "You're safe now". Why do you think she opens with that story, and how does it set the stage for the rest of the memoir?
- Rex Walls often asked his children, "Have I ever let you down?" Why was this question (and the required "No, Dad" response) so important for him -- and for his kids? On what occasions did he actually come through for them?
- Jeannette's mother insists that, no matter what, "life with your father was never boring". What kind of man was Rex Walls? What were his strengths and weaknesses, his flaws and contradictions?
- Discuss Rose Mary Walls. What did you think about her description of herself as an "excitement addict"?
- Though it portrays an incredibly hardscrabble life, The Glass Castle is never sad or depressing. Discuss the tone of the book, and how do you think that Walls achieved that effect?
- Describe Jeannette's relationship to her siblings and discuss the role they played in one another's lives.
- In college, Jeannette is singled out by a professor for not understanding the plight of homeless people; instead of defending herself, she keeps quiet. Why do you think she does this?
- The two major pieces of the memoir -- one half set in the desert and one half in West Virginia -- feel distinct. What effect did such a big move have on the family -- and on your reading of the story? How would you describe the shift in the book's tone?
- Were you surprised to learn that, as adults, Jeannette and her siblings remained close to their parents? Why do you think this is?
- What character traits -- both good and bad -- do you think that Jeannette inherited from her parents? And how do you think those traits shaped Jeannette's life?
- For many reviewers and readers, the most extraordinary thing about The Glass Castle is that, despite everything, Jeannette Walls refuses to condemn her parents. Were you able to be equally nonjudgmental?
- Like Mary Karr's Liars' Club and Rick Bragg's All Over But the Shoutin', Jeannette Walls' The Glass Castle tells the story of a wildly original (and wildly dysfunctional) family with humor and compassion. Were their other comparable memoirs that came to mind? What distinguishes this book?

First CWS Drama!
So, the game was postponed until 11 AM this morning. Chris is neck deep in work **** and really did not have time to break away to go to a CWS game. But, he knew Asher wanted to go. So, he decided to take him, if only for a bit, just so Asher could get to experience his first baseball game, a CWS game no less.
After dragging his feet for a while, Chris yelled down to me from his office, now quietly located in a corner of our bedroom (nice, I know) to say that a co-worker at the Bellevue office had more tickets and he could take all of the kids. Really? That is awesome. Four free tickets to the CWS is like hitting the lottery for the unlucky Austin Family. The kids were cheering. But wait, as I packed a lunch for a forest outing we had planned for the morning, our day was jammed packed with playdates already and what was I supposed to do all day? Chris informs me I have the day off as they rush out the door.
Hum. I started dreaming about what I would do for 3-4 hours while they were gone when my phone rang. Great.
The tickets were probably not together...so Alivia said she would stay back with Grandma if I wanted to sit with Addison. Really? I would love that! So, I ran upstairs to change, layer up on sunscreen. 15 minutes later, my phone rang again. The lady that was giving up her tickets took back one of the tickets because her son decided to go. So, Addison and I could not go afterall.
When Chris got back in the driveway, the girls looked like someone had died. Alivia's and Addison's faces were beat red and soaked with tears. Addison was more mad because she could not go Wednesday night (she still thought Asher saw the game and did not understand it was rain delayed) and now she could not go today. She thought the lady at work was mean to say we could have it and then take it back. I agree, that was not very nice. She really messed up the day. But, we are lucky that Chris still got to go with Asher, and now he had a free parking pass ($10 value no less), so that was good news (if you really dig deep).
Asher and Chris had a blast at their first CWS game together. Asher had a short attention span, however, and just wanted food (peanuts, popcorn, hotdogs, etc). They stayed a couple hours before coming home. Tonight, Asher wanted to play baseball with Daddy. I see that as a success!

WOW! That was not nice to take back the tickets! I am glad the boys had fun. Definitely take the family to the Storm Chasers if the girls want to see a baseball game. The parking is cheap and the atmosphere is fun. Plus, during the week, hardly anyone goes. :)

The interior of the cabins Stralis Active Time and Active Day meets two requirements: improve
working conditions and safety , with a more modular driver's seat , an
instrument panel features a display for displaying the functional
parameters and route commands gathered above and below the steering
wheel, a higher level of ride comfort ; make life easier on board the Active Time, through the organization of the rest area .As
for the driver's seat, the layout of the controls and the living space ,
the setting of the cabins Stralis is the result of extensive studies on
the evolution of working conditions and the missions entrusted to
drivers in the various European countries. The solutions developed by Iveco design offices have been tested and validated with users , both owners and drivers. The validity of this approach was confirmed by the excellent reception given by the drivers to the Active Space cab .Driver's seat loweredTo
reduce driver fatigue in the missions of the distribution,
characterized by frequent ascents / descents from the vehicle , the
cabins Active Time and Active Day has been lowered by 15 cm . At full load, the height of the floor of the driver's seat with respect to the ground is 1.24 m with tires 315 /80 R 22.5. On the other hand , the bonnet is bigger, with a height of 35 cm. The suspension of the cabins, a new concept, includes two air springs front and two rear coil springs . Thanks
to their low frequency of oscillation , the elements tires filter the
vibrations produced by the road and the stresses due to the semitrailer .
A request on the Active Time Sleeper Cab , the suspension may be with four air springs .The driving position is identical to that of the Stralis Active Space . The chair is equipped with air suspension is adjustable in length , height and angle. It is covered with dark red fabric , with headrest and seat belt integrated. The seat can be lowered quickly to facilitate the descent from the vehicle. Thanks
to the articulation of the steering column , the steering wheel ensures
a wide angular excursion : from 20 ° to 40 ° to the vertical ,
according to a growing tendency from the drivers . The
steering wheel is also adjustable in height and is sufficient to
operate a pneumatic foot switch, placed on the floor of the cabin.The
armrest , located along the window , a command console integrates the
power windows , the defrosting device and electric control (optional)
rear-view mirrors . The
extension down the side window was kept on Active Day cab , and was
instead eliminated on the Active Time , to preserve the tranquility of
the driver during the nights on board. The cassette inserted into the port can accommodate a water bottle large format . The fabric covering of the door panels is identical to that of the seats . Each port has a sun blind .The controls on the steering wheelThe central part of the steering wheel is designed for the development of a future air-bag . On the sides , there are several buttons that can be operated with the fingertips , without taking your hands off the wheel. The left control the radio - station selection and volume - and the CD player . The
buttons on the right allow you instead to "navigate " through the menu
of the on-board computer and displays various information on the
the steering wheel, the left column switch controls the functions
related to lighting and visibility : windshield wipers , turn signal and
switching headlights / high beams . The column switch right is reserved to the vehicle speed . It
in fact operates the cruise control ( cruise control ), and the engine
retarder , ie the decompression brake of which the Cursor engines are
equipped as standard . In
phase adjustment of speed, the engine retarder intervenes automatically
when the vehicle exceeds the speed stored ( for example , in descent ) .
Stralis can be equipped with a hydraulic retarder on the transmission (
Intarder ZF ) , operated by the same lever under the steering wheel ,
on the right side . The
gearboxes ZF 16-speed coupled to the Cursor 8-350 and 10 , possess
series of assistance ServoShift , which has allowed to limit the length
and the effort of the lever inserted on the engine tunnel , in a
position that does not hinder the ' access to the center of the cabin. In
the presence of the automatic gear EuroTronic II ( on request), the
switch is always located to the right of the seat, on a fixed support .

Note: For this assignment we asked our Scholars to share how they're feeling in the days before takeoff. Their trip to Italy begins on June 23!
The days until Italy are drawing closer and closer and my anticipation is growing more and more. It will be life-changing to experience another culture and engage in the world.
I am very excited but also nervous although I think the excitement outweighs any nerves. I am most excited to get on the plane and see a whole new country. When you stay in one place so long, you sometimes forget there is a whole beautiful world around you. I cannot wait to try the foods that I have read about and visit the places that I've only seen on my computer. I am sure it will feel very different than looking at it from a phone screen! The main reason why I am nervous is that I am afraid that I will forget something or something will go wrong last minute. I feel that is trip and the preparation done for it is a major and significant deal and I do not want it to be ruined. Fortunately, I have amazing and helpful girls that I can talk to. My fellow Wandering Scholars have given me great tips that help to calm my anxiety. For example, Jeraly told me that she double checks her packing list every night before she goes to bed. It is so much easier and I am thankful I have like-minded and very brilliant girls to experience this journey with. I am happy that I will get to know them more once we meet in person.
I still have a bit of packing to do. I received more great tips from an orientation call from Smithsonian Student adventures a couple weeks ago. Our guide said to use a backpack or duffel that would be easy to carry around from place to place. There is also a packing list on the Smithsonian Student Adventures website that very clearly tells you what you should bring. Documenting my trip is much easier after our Wandering Scholar Slack Chat. I received very helpful information to make sure I get the most out of the trip. There are so many useful resources if you know where to look!
The last few weeks have required that I put time aside to dive into researching and planning to go to another country. I have some challenges but I have a supportive team to help me along the way. I am spending the last days before take-off hanging out with my siblings. We love playing Just Dance. It is extremely hot in Greensboro right now. The temperature has been in the high 90s the past few days. The weather in Milan is only a couple degrees lower and I will take happily take it over this oven! I am going to miss my family but I will make sure to call and send them the thousands the pictures I take. I am thrilled to be going on this trip and I can't wait for the future!

The greatest thing about living in Los Angeles is that around every corner you find some secret display of nature and beauty, the beach, the mountains, the desert. Brian and Kate are getting married at such an oasis, Temescal Gateway Park in Pacific Palisades this June. After reviewing several engagement portrait spot favorites, we decided to shoot at their wedding location to be! We had a great time walking around their unbelievably tranquil site, chatting about the big day and trying to figure out what musical the community center kids were rehearsing. BTW, it was Les Miserables. Should we attend?

Cyprus, Greece and Jordan must dynamically move foward their partnership, Anastasiades stresses during Trilateral Summit
The cooperation among Cyprus, Greece and Jordan has reached a stage of maturity where consideration should be given in dynamically moving forward their partnership, Cyprus President Nicos Anastasiades said on Sunday in his opening remarks at the second Trilateral Summit among the three countries, that took place in the Royal Palace, in Amman.
Anastasiades said that in this regard the decision to establish a Permanent Secretariat in Cyprus that will deal with the trilateral cooperation schemes "will serve the further development of our trilateral mechanism with the aim of ensuring that both its potential and momentum are fully exploited and utilised."
On his part, the King of Jordan Abdullah II referred to the common challenges which the three countries are facing, noting their common will to promote their cooperation in various fields, as in security, Energy, and agriculture.
In his remarks, the Prime Minister of Greece, Alexis Tsipras, noted that the three countries have common challenges to face and share the same positions of principle, aiming at achieving peace and stability in the region.
In his remarks, Anastasiades said that today's meeting clearly reflects the importance we attach to further expanding and deepening our synergies to the benefit of our countries, our peoples and the region as a whole.
In this regard, the signing of the Memoranda of Understanding in the field of Education and between our respective Investment Promotion Agencies, as well as the first Trilateral Business Forum taking place today, constitute important developments in fully exploring the important opportunities between our countries, particularly in the fields of trade, investment, trade and tourism, he noted.
Anastasiades said that they would also discuss pressing regional issues, and that he had no doubt that they would once again reiterate our joint commitment to work together in order to achieve our common goal of promoting peace, stability, security, growth and prosperity for our societies and the region as a whole.
This approach is based on our common belief of the need to achieve political solutions in accordance with international law and in full respect of the sovereignty, territorial integrity and independence of states, as well as of good neighbourly relations, he added.
Moreover, he noted that the three countries also share the same position that addressing the effect of the refugee crisis and migration flows requires solidarity and responsibility sharing.
Anastasiades assured the King that we will continue working with our EU partners so that Jordan is supported both politically and economically in addressing the consequences of the refugee crisis and the heavy burden this places on its economy, structures and society.
In parallel, he added, we will continue to actively advocate for the strengthening of EU – Jordan relations, including engaging more on regional and foreign policy issues.
He said he would inform his counterparts on the latest developments as regards the efforts to resume the negotiating process on the Cyprus problem, with the aim to reach a settlement that will establish a functional, viable, truly sovereign and independent state; free from military troops or guarantees by any third country.
Anastasiades expressed to the King his deep appreciation for Jordan's principled stance on the Cyprus problem, in line with international law, the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and the principles upon which the EU is founded.
Moreover, addressing Prime Minister Tsipras he said that Greece and the Greek people have always stood shoulder to shoulder with us. On behalf of all Cypriots, I reiterate our deep appreciation and gratitude, he stressed.
In his opening remarks, King Abdullah welcomed Anastasiades, Tsipras and their delegations, noting, among others, that he is very pleased that his country participates in this trilateral mechanism, and that the three countries have deep ties.
The King thanked both Cyprus and Greece for the help they offer, in their capacity as EU member states as well, with a view to address the challenges which the countries of the region are facing.
He also noted that the relationship among the three countries is further reinforced through their common will and efforts to achieve peace, stability and security in the region.
On his part, Prime Minister Tsipras said , among others, that both Greece and Cyprus, as the EU member states which are close to the turbulent region of the Middle and the Near East, are facing the repercussions of the refugee problem and the migration flows.
Moreover he praised the personal contribution and the role of King Abdullah II in addressing the various regional issues and noted that the aim is also to further enhance the relations between EU and Jordan.
Prior to the Trilateral Summit the President of Cyprus had a private meeting with King Abdullah whom he informed about the latest developments in the Cyprus issue and the effort made by the UNSG's special envoy Jane Holl Lute with a view to formulate the terms of reference that would pave the way for the resumption of Cyprus talks .
Cyprus has been divided since 1974 when Turkish troops invaded and occupied 37% of its territory.

Amanda Bynes was seen for the first time in three months on Friday.
The 31-year-old former child star, who lit up teen films such as She's The Man and What A Girl Wants, was seen with a female friend who was most likely her life coach Joy Stevens.
The two were seen leaving the Ralphs grocery store in the Miracle Mile neighborhood of Los Angeles.
Byne wore her long golden locks down and in soft mermaid waves.
The Easy A star seemed to have no makeup on and was wearing clear framed glasses that may or may not have been prescription.
The Los Angeles native had worn a huge beige cardigan over a white T-shirt and black slacks with black boots that had silver buckles.
The star, who is reportedly worth $6m, had a Chanel crossbody purse in black on.
Her minder was casual in a white shirt, green slacks and black sandals with a silver Tiffany & Co necklace on.
The two were last seen side by side in June.
Bynes, who has combatted drug issues and was hospitalized under a psychiatric hold in 2014 after a DUI arrest in 2013, says she has now been sober for three years.
After announcing on Twitter that she had retired from acting, she says she is now ready to return to Hollywood and put her driving violations, controversial tweets and heath battles behind her.
'I want to do TV,' she said in an interview with Hollyscoop earlier this year. 'Maybe a few guest spots on some shows that I'm a fan of and maybe another TV show where I'm the star of it.'
The interview was her first in four years, she had only communicated with fans through a series of alarming tweets.
One of her most infamous musings included a 2013 tweet in which she wrote: 'I want @drake to murder my vagina'.
Bynes explained: 'I actually wasn't being insincere. I was like saying murder my vagina. I was serious, but I was also on drugs, so that was my way of saying like, "Let's do it man." But I was on drugs and trying to be hilarious.'
She added: 'He's hot! What does that even mean? It just means, like, "F**k me, Drake!"'
Recalling her bizarre court appearances in which she would don colorful wigs and big sunglasses, Amanda noted that she was copying Blac Chyna's look at the time.
'I stole her look,' she said. 'I was getting the microdermals in my cheeks because she had them. I thought they looked super hot on her. … I'm a fan of hers. She's adorable. She's a cutie pie.'
In August And TooFab talked to Nikki Blonsky about how she has stayed in touch with the cast which includes John Travolta, Zac Efron and Michelle Pfeiffer.
The 28-year-old New York native also said she still talks to Hairspray vet Amanda Bynes, who had trouble with the law in the past but has seemed to turn a corner. 'She's doing well. She's getting ready to start acting,' said the brunette.
'She was one of my favorite actors growing up, and I just can't wait to see her on the screen again,' she added.
Blonsky added: 'Yeah, she's so cool. She's such a great friend. Another beautiful relationship I got from the movie.'
The star also said Bynes was 'so much like Penny that sometimes I couldn't tell the difference. They're both fun and quirky and really lively, and sometimes I'd just be like, "Oh, is that one of your lines?"'
Bynes rose to fame as a child star in the late 1990s and early 2000s on the Nickelodeon series All That and The Amanda Show.
From 2002 to 2006, she starred in the sitcom What I Like About You on The WB. She has also starred in several films, including What a Girl Wants (2003), She's the Man (2006), Hairspray (2007), Sydney White (2007), and Easy A (2010). .

Birth photography has grown in popularity in recent years, which in my opinion is a really good thing. I love birth photos and videos. I love that there are so many amazing women out there who are happy to share these special and deeply personal moments with the world. I have seen so many birth videos and so many incredible birth pictures and I am grateful to the people who have shared them. Why? Because we need birth to be normalised again. We need normal birth to be seen. Birth has become such a taboo and medicalised event that most of us don't know what real, un-dramatised labour and birth look like. Shows like OBEM do nothing to help this, by the way!
But why do we need to know what birth looks like?
Back when we were cave women, and right up until pretty recently actually, we women would have known what it was to be pregnant, to labour, to birth, to feed and raise babies before we did it ourselves. We would have known all about it because we would have been exposed to it all as a normal part of daily life. Knowledge would be passed on through the generations and through seeing, watching, and supporting one another. There were no TV shows to frighten women, no litigation-wary doctors, and nothing stopping them from hearing and listening to their instincts. Birth just happened. And for the most part, when unhindered birth does just happen. This is what we are missing in our modern society and women, babies and their families are suffering for it. We don't live in caves or tribes any more so we are finding other ways to get what we instinctively crave – exposure to what we need to see to learn how to do it ourselves. Birth photography fulfils this natural need to see something that we can only learn through seeing.
So if it's so great, why did I choose not to do it?
It's a very personal decision as to whether you want to have film or photographs of your baby's birth. It is an amazing, incredible, once in a life time event, and to capture it on film is to immortalise these moments forever. I did video the births of my third and fourth babies and these videos are very, very special to me. I can't watch them without crying, or without feeling the huge rush of emotions they bring back. I chose to film their births as I wanted that external experience of seeing what the other people in the room saw. I wanted to see what giving birth looked like. I wanted to have it immortalised in that way. But with my fifth baby I wanted something different, something far more primal and instinctive. I very nearly chose to freebirth as I felt so strongly that I needed a great deal of privacy and solitude for the birth. I went on a huge personal journey throughout my pregnancy that led me to that point and it felt right to me that there be no intrusion, even from cameras. It's worth bearing in mind that the camera can alter what it captures simply by its presence.
My beautiful baby girl was born in my bathroom at almost 42 weeks of pregnancy with her daddy and our midwife present (but only because I let them in at the last minute!). Her birth was amazing, another story in itself! What I take away most from the experience of not filming her birth is that my memories of it are crystal clear. Nothing about my perception of it has been altered by seeing pictures or video. I have the raw footage in my head, as clear and as perfect as if it happened yesterday. I have photos of us afterwards and I love them. Realising that not filming the birth was indeed a positive thing for me despite being such a fan of birth photography has been intriguing – I was worried that I was missing an opportunity that I would never get back, but this is what worked for me this time and I'm glad that I followed my instincts on such a small yet also big thing.
Did you film or photograph your baby's birth? What was the experience like for you?
