Thank you for choosing my instalment for this week Sandra. I would never have guessed I would be writing about armadillos with such enthusiasm, its amazing how 3 little prompt words can stimulate the imaginative juices, The word limit helps weed out the waffle temptation too.ReplyDeleteReplies
Three of my current novels were kick-started by prompt-word challenges. What I find interesting is that the effect of weeding out the waffle is to create, when read sequentially, a near-indigestible whole, confirming novels need breathing spaces.Delete
(And come to think of it, I never imagined myself picking a story about an armadillo as winner!)

Jeffrey here on break. Congrats on receiving the laurel wreath for last week, Terrie.Delete
I had a little mini-series here awhile back that started with the prompts. I them strung them together and posted it as a short story on another site.
Well thought of comments so it's onto corrections, revisions and further comments.
Congrats, Terrie. It's good to see Armi and company get some notoriety.Delete
many congratulations! Go with the thoughts. My zombie novel began in the Prediction Challenge.Delete
Dress CodeReplyDelete
Wearing a yellow butt floss bikini bottom and a Grateful Dead tee shirt, Kevin strolled down Santa Monica Boulevard. Would-be artists sketched away and dowdy au pairs leading their charges blushed as he walked through the park. At the entrance to St. Verde Academy for Girls, the headmistress blocked the way with arms akimbo.
"You know the rules, Kevin. Our History professors are required to wear appropriate clothing."
Kevin removed a Pink Floyd tee shirt from his bag and made the switch. The headmistress nodded and allowed passage. She glanced furtively at his tanned cheeks before turning away.Replies
Love the 'yellow butt floss bikini bottom' brilliant use of the prompt words John.Delete
How dare he! A Grateful Dead Tee shirt with that butt floss bottom, how gauche! The story is quite the opposite.Delete
Back in ~1985, at Gloucester railway station, I watched a tanned and polished-bodied, briefcase-carrying, Michael Stype lookalike stroll past clad in only a pair of bright yellow Speedos.Delete
Cheered me up as much as this vignette did.
Great use of the prompt words,John. Unfortunately, it is a vision I will carry with me forever. Now, a Led Zepplin tee....Delete
What an image! Don't know if it will ever fade now and I'm probably stuck with it forever...not necessarily a bad thing. This is so wonderfully typical of your creative humour. What a talent you do possess.Delete
this is so clever. I'm fresh in from a grocery trip, I needed something like this to offset the trauma...Delete
- J.E. Deegan15 June 2018 at 18:42
The comment in last week's exercise about my being robbed at gunpoint behind a Manhattan fast-food joint is not mine. I'm wondering why someone would write that and attribute it to me.ReplyDeleteReplies
Mmm ... so am I.Delete
I'm on a bit of a break as I'm working on a novella for an upcoming book right now. Love the stories, guys!ReplyDeleteReplies
The Secret Armadillo Soldier (SAS) Diaries - entry 9 - Relocated Things
Only Pink-Fairy and Armi knew the history of the whoremadillohouse and its secret basement cavern. It was their business safe-spot or, as Pink-Fairy called it, a "treasury of relocated things".
Armi located a rucksack and syringe in the hoard and joined Pink -Fairy having a pamper pedicure upstairs.
Always present, Big Brenda was sketching the scene.
'It's no great loss, you did right ditching the stalk-dust Armi; don't risk the wrath of the Thorny Devil Gang. That Moloch's a lunatic lizard.' Pink-Fairy rummaged in his handbag and twirled out a black, flossy-plumed, boa. 'Goes with my 'tache, don't you think?'Replies
Now this would be a full-page illustration, evert inch packed with delicious detail. Wonderful stuff.Delete
Your stories just get better each week. Whoremadillo house? Wonderful, Terrie.Delete
I enjoyed the reveal of Pink-Fairy being Armi's brother and not his sister as I envisioned. Another good installment, Terrie. Enjoyable as always.Delete
So glad you decided to continue this as a series. Hard to believe we're already at "Entry 9." So unique and so creative. Isn't it amazing how a trio of initial prompt words can inspire such incredible storytelling?Delete
brilliantly surreal!Delete
Always enjoyable with very well used prompts.ReplyDelete
The Truth be ToldReplyDelete
"It's time for some mental floss, as I sketch out several historical inaccuracies you've been taught. The Dark Ages, are you kidding me? My friend Petrarch came up with that when talking about the literary cesspit of late Latin writing, might be appropriate for today to. Those witch trials you Americans had? Most were left hanging in the wind. Cleopatra VII Philopator was Greek, not Egyptian. Ptolemy, one of Alexanders Generals, was her great ancestor. This Flat Earth bit. Our scientists knew the Earth was round and its circumference. Copernicus proved the sun was what we revolved around."Replies
I liked how you managed the prompt words in the first sentence. Well written and enjoyable. Petrarch seemed wise, but maybe a little stuffy. Good character.Delete
Nicely done, Jeffrey. Wonderful use of the prompts, and a well executed story.Delete
As always, your stories come with their own unique voice. This one was informative as well as entertaining. Nicely done, Jeffrey.Delete
interesting ideas here, Jeffrey.Delete
Hi, All,ReplyDelete
Really glad to be back. Had the arthritis attack from hell and have been out of commission. Well, the injections seem to be working, and my not so sexy cyborg knee braces help, so let's give it a whirl.Replies
Glad to hear you're doing better, Joe. And don't tease us with that sexy cyborg knee brace vision, you bad boy!Delete
Correcting a Bad MistakeReplyDelete
"Do you know your history, Brannon?"
Brannon turned, dental floss still between teeth and nodded.
"Good, because I don't have the time to sketch this out for you. Our job is to kill him, before history repeats itself."
Brannon spit, gargled. "He's well protected."
"Doesn't matter. We're expendable. Those idiots. They could have cloned Einstein, Lincoln, Ghandi. And instead, they do the unthinkable. Thought they could control him. Instead, he'll kill millions. His followers are insane."
Brannon slipped into the flak jacket, picked up the sniper rifle. "Right. Doesn't matter. Let's go save the world. Let's go kill Hitler."Replies
Joe, glad your arthritis is better. That's a nice story you've written, cloning an d perhaps time travel.Delete
If only it were that easy. Glad to hear injections work - long may they continue to o so..Delete
Interesting concept. It made me sit up and think of the horrors if this were possible. I liked the matter-of-fact way they discussed being expendable.Delete
Now this was interesting. I've heard that such cloning may not be so futuristic or unbelievable as we might think. I'd like to believe that a second Hitler would be delegated to the bottom of the totem pole, but somehow I doubt it. In any event, wonderfully inventive tale.Delete
some interesting theories being tested here and I like where they just might go.Delete
Sketch pad, but no pencils? Worthless!
Embroidery floss, but no needles? Useless!
And the list? Endless!
I'm not provided sharp objects...given my history.Replies
Brilliant execution of the prompt words Patricia. Welcome back.Delete
Great things in small packages with a killer last line.Delete
That short break has continued to sharpen your writing.Delete
Really good, Patricia. Good use of 'floss.' Never thought of that. You weave the tale so well of someone being in a loony bin without saying so.Delete
Loved it. Wonderful last line. Very well writtenDelete
true flash fiction!Delete
Many congratulations on the past couple of weeks' winners. Some truly magnificent entries there with enviable uses of the prompts. Kind of glad I took a hiatus now...doubt I could have measured up.ReplyDelete
Ungrateful wretchesReplyDelete
Who wouldn't want me? I mean, look at me! I'm beautiful! My hair is golden floss. My body is curvy and healthy. Strangers always beg to paint and sketch me on their artist's pads. In the history of the world, no one has ever been as attractive or lovely as me. So you will have to excuse my confusion as to why I find myself tied to a stake (how medieval!), waiting to be set a-fire. All I can assume is jealousy on the part of the uglier people of my little village. Oh well, their loss…Replies
Oh dear - sounds like a classic case of you can't have both beauty and brains.Delete
Yes, the medievalness of it all... Perhaps her attitude was so unbearable, they burned her to shut her up. Really enjoyable, Dave.Delete
I enjoyed her sanctimonious speech... which just could be true. Very good prompt use.Delete
Narcissism gone bad. Wonderful. Very enjoyable read.Delete
Now if you gotta go, this is the way to do it with style. Interesting in-depth probe into the mind of a dyed-in-the-wool egotist, even in the face of annihilation...and a supremely painful one at that. Nonetheless, I admire her flair.Delete
Thank you all for your kind words! I myself wasn't too impressed with it, and almost passed on sending it. I'll try to do a better piece next time. Also, my work computer won't allow me to replay on here! Hmmm....Delete
Dave, my work computer won't let me reply either, so I have to wait for home. Jeffrey gets round it by saying 'Jeffrey here' I haven't tried that yet.Delete
Like this little piece because, whatever you think of it, you've got into her head very well. It's a skill. Work at it!
Phone-call. Voice scared and young enough to be sexless. Details sketchy but 'big building with a lot of broken windows' had to be Murgatroyd's.
In my grandmother's time the clack of looms necessitated women communicate by lip-reading. Nowadays, on the wasteland between mill and river, teenage lips communicated other things.
In the yard-high grass and brambles, among the detritus of sharps and condoms, beneath the floss of Old Man's Beard I found you. A jagged-edge bottle ended your communication. Ended our future. We'd shared only days of secret history but my number on your phone had communicated us to him.Replies
Heavens to Murgatroyd...Delete
Loved the description of the scene, the wasteland. The tone was set perfectly for the topic of suicide.
Or maybe murder?Delete
An excellent description of a no-mans-land with good placemen of the prompts.Delete
Wow! A very powerful piece. Great visuals. Very sad. Well writtenDelete
Powerful stuff indeed, but it leaves a myriad of questions unanswered. There are so many directions this story could take that part of its charm is the fact that we know so little of the circumstances. As always, totally brilliant in concept and execution.Delete
seems like a nasty murder here in a wasteland very well depicted.Delete
- J.E. Deegan22 June 2018 at 00:05
This piece is rife with splendid words and phrases. I had no trouble staying hooked to this tale. Beautifully done.Delete
Change of focus [286]ReplyDelete
Tamara Pretty's knicker drawers evidenced a dual life-style: one the multi-coloured floss of Agent Provocateur, as befit her night-time occupation, the other everyday white cotton M&S. Beneath those, a plastic bag from Khakbethia's equivalent of Lidl, giving the Yanno Pettinger had once been a twinge of nostalgia.
Short-lived, because within it –
Moth watched him turn the pages. 'Sketch book?'
'More than. A visual history. An identity parade of every man who had her. Dating back –' Pettinger flipped to the first page, 'Five years. Five'.
Moth too had done the calculation. 'She was just fourteen. Her drawing's improved since then.'Replies
I like how Moth waited, watching Pettinger as he turned the pages. Really effective.Delete
Entertaining with a very good last and memorable last line.Delete
Moth is the perfect foil for Pettinger. Love many of the references in this piece. What could possibly be more respectable than white cotton undies from Marks & Spencers? Great use of the prompts...virtually hidden until searched for.Delete
I agree with Patricia, the prompts needed to be searched out, it all fitted together so well. Moth continues to entertain!Delete
Color me BlueReplyDelete
It just may be the greatest Saturday Night Live sketch in the history of the show. Alec Baldwin, as Trump, hanging himself with dental floss. But wait… there's Baldwin over there. Who's the swinging man with orange hair and a bluish complexion?Replies
Short and far from sweet.Delete
Now all I have to do is watch the video and se eif the book was better. A good short John, nice prompt use.Delete
And a double-scooped treat this week from your talented plume, John. I'd know this to be one of yours even if your name had not appeared. However..."man with orange hair." Now who on earth could that possibly be?Delete
Ha! Loved it!Delete
- J.E. Deegan20 June 2018 at 23:14
Such a skillfully written tale in just a few words, John. Great job!Delete
Question time [Threshold 214]ReplyDelete
'How old were you, when you marred Carlotta?'
'Seventeen –'
And oh god the thought of him at seventeen sliced from groin to throat like floss through melted butter.
'– she was thirty-seven.'
'But, you said, unconsummated?' Desperate to erase the involuntary mind sketch, charcoal and chalk, of him with – within – her which, given my own history, was hypocrisy beyond reason. 'When did she think you dead and buried?'
'Ten years ago.'
'So you were married to her for ten years? Faithfully?'
He laughed. 'Of course not! But, to kill her you need to find her first –'
'I? Or we?'Replies
This is possibly the most intriguing installment to date. I love the ridiculous thought of Raven being faithful...and continue to wait for our protagonist to reveal her name!Delete
in what appears like banter is a whole history of nastiness.Delete
It keeps getting better and better. Pretty soon that other guy I don't like, I forget his name at the moment, will be here to complicate things even further.Delete
- J.E. Deegan20 June 2018 at 23:19
Raven... faithful? Surely you jest!Delete
Kursaal (Episode One Hundred Nineteen) - "Artistic License"ReplyDelete
Sketches of the amusement park and its personnel made by Dottie Randall (found on the seat of "The Orbiter" after her mysterious disappearance from the ride) were incredibly detailed but contained questionable discrepancies. For example, some attractions were duplicated in more than one location and others conspicuous by their exclusion altogether.
Of particular note, aerial charts penciled from atop the big wheel featured connecting thoroughfares indiscernible at ground level.
Perhaps most puzzling was the drawing of a candy floss concession stand and its fresh-faced proprietor. In the Kursaal's history, this spun sugar confection had never been available to the public.
To read the earlier installments (a suggestion only) which led to this point in the tale, please visit:
A link to return to "The Prediction" can be found on the site. Thank you.
NOTE: Dottie Randall has featured in previous episodes.Replies
Oh - candyfloss - how like you to pick the perfect use for it and for Kursaal. And what a wonderful mystery. I like the conjunction of 'questionable discrepancies'.Delete
an overall sketch of the Kursaal, raising more questions than I thought possible, considering the many instalments so far.Delete
Oh, what a strange and wonderful place this is. So very enjoyable and packed with intrigue.Delete
A very nicely done mystery, this brought to mind a story "He Walked Around the Horses" by H.B. Piper and just as well written.ReplyDelete
The Gleaning of Dorman #4ReplyDelete
"Lethurna, how did a drunk half-orc give you a black eye?"
Lethurna hefted her club.
"I'll use this to floss your ass, Ilthana half-elf. Is your other half... orc?"
Ilthana began the sketchy hand motions of a spell, when a man wearing a blazoned surcoat spoke.
"Dorman said he'll leave us behind if we fight among ourselves. History supports that."
They looked at him, Lethurna responded,
"Okay, Bardon, but I ain't kissing and making up."
"I hope it isn't because I don't have a beard," replied Ilthana.
Lethurna scowled at him and walked away.
"Thanks, Bardon."
"Please describe what happened."Replies
Difficult to compose a piece containing so much dialogue, but you interspersed it nicely with description and managed to achieve a very pleasing balance.Delete
The lack of dialogue tags is very effective in tightening the piece.Delete
Loved 'floss your ass.' An effective threat if there ever was one. There was some enjoyable light hearted dialog that was well done.Delete
- J.E. Deegan20 June 2018 at 22:54
Based on this tale, I'd say the seedy area of town is more entertaining than the posh area. This was a very interesting read.Delete
- J.E. Deegan20 June 2018 at 23:07
Sorry... my reply under Jeffrey's THE GLEANING OF DORMAN #4 was meant for Patricia's CHEAP AND NASTY.Delete
Jeffrey's tale was loaded with good, crisp dialog, which he always does well.
Cheap And NastyReplyDelete
Arnold often visited the historical district of town. Not the posh area with its refurbished theaters, rebuilt storefronts and renovated restaurants, but the rundown section of seedy doss-houses, dubious greasy spoons and sketchy street vendors peddling even sketchier wares.
He was ecstatic with his latest acquisition (which had cost next-to-nothing) and removed it from the plain brown paper bag with trembling fingers. The hand-printed title read: "101 Erotic Uses For Dental Floss."
Arnold was positive he could put it to excellent use.Replies
How deceptively lovely. The title of the book came out of left field. Great use of prompts.Delete
How skilfully you set my mind running in unwanted directions with that final line! And the description of the seedier end of town so vivid.Delete
I'm reading a crime thriller at the moment and do believe the writer has visited the local dive, aka The Marine - my daughter agrees. You've captured a whole area where this guy pinned down one pub!Delete
I can only imagine the other sketchy items Arnold has in his collection, and I'm quite sure he has a collection. Very nice description of the dive section of town.Delete
Cripplegate Junction/Part 145 - Water Under The (Railway) BridgeReplyDelete
Dumbfounded, Clive Bailey found himself back in the Wendy House. Last he remembered, he'd been outside in the privet hedge.
"Ever read Mill on the Floss, old boy?" asked the Station Master.
A copy lay open on the table where Constance and George had played Snakes and Ladders. They weren't there now. Neither was the game.
Clive thought maybe, but details were sketchy.
"Something about siblings and drowning?"
"There was once a lake beneath the railway bridge just before the Junction," said the Station Master, expression forlorn as he regarded the vacant chairs.
"Sad how history so often repeats itself."
To read the earlier installments (a suggestion only) which led to this point in the tale please visit:
A link to return to "The Prediction" can be found on the site. Thank you.
This satisfied on so very many levels, not least the book title which elicited a cheer of delight. The reference to Constance and George took me back to the (deceptively innocent) beginning so many episodes ago.Delete
lovely use of the prompts.Delete
You may recognize this comment: Oh, what a strange and wonderful place this is. So very enjoyable and packed with intrigue.Delete
Nicely placed prompts, a well written and flowing story.ReplyDelete
Pirate Doctor #3ReplyDelete
Rethic led me through the Shadow Panther's sketchy and disheveled bowels. When we arrived, I was stunned. Oh crap! This is looks like a historical torture chamber.
"This is Dr. Uhlan Karthis, our new doctor. Follow the three L's and all will be good," turning to me "Follow."
We went into an O.R. A Kalvari was being tended on a table.
"This is Captain Nelzar, your patient or if you prefer your sunctur fatanaz."
"I'd like to have some equipment and supplies from the Sagittarius."
"Make a list and don't forget the dental floss. I'll be back," as he left.Replies
- J.E. Deegan20 June 2018 at 18:37
I love the phrase "sketchy and disheveled bowels", Jeffrey. It nicely sets the reader up for what follows.Delete
Many unusual goings on in this one.Delete
I believe I must have missed installment #1 and #2, which I will have to go back and unearth. That aside, this was quite fascinating and the reminder about "dental floss" directly out of left field.Delete
- J.E. Deegan20 June 2018 at 00:27
THE KEEPERReplyDelete
Bridget McGeagh, Earth's current guardian, watched the roiling blood-red cloud approach. It was the avatar of unmitigated evil, and the Guardian's history, though sketchy, told her this day would come. Her duty, however, was clear: Defeat the evil and imprison it another 500 years.
A monstrous visage quickly formed within the cloud. Its eyes burned savagely, its red teeth glared within a cavernous black mouth, and waves of flossy filaments congealed into a crimson sword.
Bridget gripped the Guardian's sword as the sword in the cloud plunged toward her. She raised her blade.
The swords met and the earth trembled.Replies
Epic, with shades of Blake and thunderous music. And isn't 'roiling' a great word?Delete
An epic encounter between good and evil. I have my money on Bridget McGeagh. I like that name, so unusual for a guardian of the earth.Delete
Beautifully descriptive. You could almost visualize this as an episode in an animated adventure series. I would love to see it continued.Delete
J.E. this has some excellent descriptions and i'm awfully curious about the history that's teased to the reader.ReplyDeleteReplies
some outstanding phrases here which conjure the images for us.Delete
The Mad Italian 60.ReplyDelete
I see the beginning of the movement to shame those in control into doing right: I cite the reversal of the law against child immigration… in an effort to floss away that caught between the teeth of society, some go too far.
I see a resurgence of crime among people, man on man, rather than man on government. That needs to be reversed, what good does it do to kill another? Protest is far better and history proves this, the only way to force change.
These weekly pieces are a sketch, to see the whole picture, study the news. Carefully.Replies
Do we tend to think of ourselves as, in general, the current apex of our civilization, because we fear admitting we're not?ReplyDelete
Candy FlossReplyDelete
Candy Floss was the only one who wouldn't sit still long enough for me to sketch her.
She was hyper. A pink blur.
I knew from the outset she had a chequered history.
Her super power was the sugar rush, delivered by a knock out kiss. I know. I'm still reeling from the taste on my lips.
The image in the gallery is from memory. It's nowhere near as accurate as the others depicted in the Heroes Hall of Fame.
She's a health hazard.
Bad for my general wellbeing.
But I crave her nonetheless.
REALLY like this - one of your trademark hooks of a first line; she needs to feature in a novel.Delete
David, this is wonderful. Love that Candy Floss.Delete
- J.E. Deegan21 June 2018 at 16:56
You are indeed smitten by this vixen Candy Floss, David, and that produced a great read!Delete
Candy Floss is a magnificent name for a superhero and her special ability no less magnificent. I can fully understand how she would be unforgettable. This was exceptionally unique in its composition and delivery. And I love how she refuses to be still long enough to be captured via pen and ink.Delete
- Anonymous21 June 2018 at 16:22
Jeffrey here on lunch. Very tightly written story. The last line, using crave vs. love is great, implying a habit or desire.ReplyDelete
The Adventures of Rosebud, Pirate Princess #134ReplyDelete
Not Debutantes
The salivating delegate dealt with Georgiana and I meandered back to the banquet hall.
"I suppose we ought to get back to our mission."
"Flirting, fishing for suspicious history, and killing mouth-breathers who don't floss?"
"Yep! Although I think as proper 'diplomats' we ought to at least sketch the current situations for Rosebud."
Georgiana sneakily lifted a map off a passing Lord and began doodling.
"I like the little poison heads, but can they be green instead?"
- J.E. Deegan22 June 2018 at 16:48
This piece includes an ingenious use of the prompt words, Rosie!ReplyDelete
Thanks for every other informative site. The place else may just I get that kind of information written in such an ideal means? I have a venture that I'm just now operating on, and I have been on the look out for such information. 먹튀검증ReplyDelete

A letter from the Chief
To the Editor:
Earlier this month on a Friday night, a few teenaged kids, good friends, left a gathering in South Kingstown and ended up in a serious car crash that resulted in a 17 year-old boy named Aiden Mulligan receiving a critical, life-threatening brain injury. Aiden is from a good South County family, with hard-working parents, who are still gathered around him in the hospital where he remains in very serious condition. The cause of the crash was said to be excessive speed and the driver, another young man from a good family, is now facing the serious criminal charge of driving to endanger with serious personal injury resulting.
Two friends' lives are now hanging in the balance. One is unconscious fighting for his life in a hospital bed, the other is facing the brunt of the criminal justice system and could end up in prison; both lives forever altered in very significant ways.
This could be any community; we all get a turn, it seems. It is important for all communities to understand that these accidents are preventable. I would ask that all families talk to their children of driving age about this, and set good examples for your kids by driving politely and obeying the driving laws, even in the winter!
All communities should stick together when these terrible things happen. I would also ask everyone to keep Aiden in your prayers, he is hanging in there, but it's very serious. It would also be kind of you to donate to his gofundme account to help with the mounting medical bills. If anyone would rather drop off a check for the family, you can bring it to the New Shoreham Police Department, made out to Sharry Cota Mulligan, Aiden's mother.
Here's something positive. As I pulled into work at 7:30 on a recent Sunday morning, I saw several of our teenagers geared up and washing the fire trucks with several members of our Fire Department. I think that means that our kids were home early on Saturday night. We had some accidents earlier in the winter involving some young people, resulting in court action. The Fire Department saw the problem, and it seems most of our teenagers were encouraged to join, and have been training every weekend and other days all winter. We haven't had any more accidents as a result.
Good work, Block Island Fire Department. Thank you!
Chief Vin Carlone
Chief of Police
Expressing gratitude
To the Editor:
I am writing to thank all the students who have attended my Block Island Yoga classes over the last 23 years. Although I will still be leading seasonal retreats, I have decided that my commuting days are over and I will not be teaching weekly classes in 2019. I am so grateful to Jim Reale, my first yoga teacher, who started leading classes at St Andrew Parish Center in 1995. My teaching began a year later when I covered Jim's classes while he studied in India. Certified in 1997, I taught year-round until 2015 and have commuted for the last three summers.
I wish to express my gratitude to all those who have offered space for Block Island Yoga classes: St Andrew Parish, Harbor Church; B.I. Community Center, Block Island Club; the former Encore Gallery; former Ete store; and many galleries above the Post Office.
To my students: it has been such an honor to lead you in practice and to learn with you and from you. Many of you have been with me for decades. I love and appreciate you all! I am so grateful for your presence, for your trust, for your commitment to yourselves and your well-being.
I am passing the torch to Gwendolyn Alker who will take over the Kripalu Yoga classes at the Parish Center this summer. Exact schedule will be announced. Gwendolyn started with Jim as well and has been studying with me for 20 years. The lineage continues.
In gratitude,
Susan J. Littlefield

This is the first in a series of posts about how various pastel works came into being. These will show different states as a piece is completed with some insight into the process and materials – plus other commentary. Essentially, how they were born, how they grew up and what problems they presented as they matured into finished pieces. For the first few posts there might not be much documentation, but I am starting to make more images of various states so I hope to make this a rich record for interested parties.
Here is the progression of Material Girl, 2018, on display as part of the exhibition: Figure Study- Hidden Story at the Healdsburg Center for the Arts, 9/8/2018 – 10/21/2018.
Here is the third state. You can see at the top the ghost of a previous drawing – the head of a model, and a foot at the bottom. The red and green tones were probably added before this male figure at a University of Kentucky Life Drawing session on March 1, 2018.
Here is the fourth state with another figure added based on a drawing, plus new color added around all the figures. The ghost head and foot are still visible. This was photographed March 27, 2018.
At this point the piece malingered on the studio wall for several months before I finally took a garden hose to it and selectively "cleaned" various areas outside the studio with this garden hose. No finer eraser exists, but it's not for the faint of heart.
The resulting paper was toned blue with additional applications of water, pigment and black enamel spray paint. Then some dry pigment dusted onto the surface. Yes, and a tear repaired about 1/3 down on the left side. The ghost head is still there, as are two sets of feet from the earliest two iterations. This image was made July 26, 2018.
The finished piece began as a Sunday Life Drawing session here at the studio, with some additional work with pastel applied post session. This is one of our most frequent models, and when I commented that her face seemed like a Madonna, she said "Oh, the material girl." And of course with the hammer and sickle imagery an ironic pun was born. July 29, 2018.

August 2012
This paper was the result of concerns that SIGTTO members had about the various interpretations of the function requirements for ESD systems, particularly the differences between the needs of the LNG and LPG industries and how they might interact with linked ship/shore shutdown systems.
Be the first to review this product
This book is intended to promote and encourage widespread use of linked ESD systems at both LNG and LPG terminals, especially where the cargo transfer rate is high or where the cargo that is being handled is one of the products that is referred to in Chapter 17 of the 1993 edition of the IGC Code. This document does not intend to contradict any national or international standards or requirements for operational practices.
Some of the problems today are due to an inadequate understanding of the basic philosophy of the systems, coupled with the ability of new technology – notably PLCs, which allow functional changes to occur without the hardware changing. This is further compounded by changes in the operation and design of LNG carriers, particularly in relation to gas burning in port and reliquefaction. The IGC Code originates from the mid-1970s and reflects the operational practices and regulatory approach of that period.
This document is not intended to provide a detailed technical specification for the design of ESD systems, but presents the functional requirements so that a detailed specification can be produced by a skilled design team.
This paper considers not only cargo transfer operations but also the processes centred on the ship/shore interface to ensure that cargo transfer is safely and reliably carried out.
The purpose of SIGTTO is to promote shipping and terminal operations for liquefied gases which are safe, environmentally responsible and reliable. To fulfil this mission it will:
Proactively develop best operating practices and guideline
Sustain a learning environment by sharing lessons learned
Promote training and development of all within the industry
Foster mutually beneficial relationships with regulatory authorities and other stakeholders
Conduct its business with professionalism and integrity

Arrow: 6.11 We Fall
While the mid-season opener largely felt like Arrow was spinning it's wheels, this week's episode was much more focused, with some good action pieces and character developments that actually made sense.
Let's start with Vigilante. I never bought into Vivant Sobel's sudden allegiance to Cayden James. His methods might have been wrong but he was trying to fight crime in his own way; this undercover, double agent agenda feels more real, even though I was with Dinah as to why he didn't tell her sooner.
There was even a decent threat to Star City in James' virus that infected every internet-based device. From the random electrocution that killed many, including police captain Pike, to the plane crash on the highway, there was a very real sense of escalation. But the best set pieces came as the two teams raced to stop two simultaneous attacks. Black Canary stopping the trains colliding with her sonic scream was one of the most impressive moments she has had yet.
There was also something very 'disaster movie about the attack in the tunnel, that saw people fleeing their cars from explosions and William leading his school friends from the bus. It was a great set piece and showed that William bore some of the traits as his father. Oliver / Green Arrow rescuing William through the flaming rubble while Diggle / Spartan led people to safety was an exciting moment of heroics and tension, leading to William's discovery about his dad's extra-hours antics with a bow and arrow.
Thankfully it wasn't all angsty drama and Jack Moore brought a surprising amount of maturity to his performance as he realised that having a badass dad was okay. I'm not sure 'step mom' Felicity showing him brutally shoot down, kick and punch every bad guy in sight was such a good idea though.
Oliver reluctantly paying the first of daily $10 million ransoms to Cayden James left the episode on a bleak note, and really showed just how much of an upper hands this bad guy has. And yet, as I finished watching the episode, I couldn't help feeling that something was missing - a feeling that has been bubbling along all season. We Fall was a step up on last week, but it is hard to feel that emotional connection that made season five - and the early seasons - so engaging, The bad guys - James and Black Siren aside - feel lacklustre and I'm not sure where the season is going. I am still invested in Arrow season six, but I'm not sure if that just isn't bourne out of the goodwill of season five...

But, ahead of the month-long competition, they're promoting a virtual contest that's already underway. FWC Announces Python Hunt 2016: In The Everglades By Lynn Hatter & The Associated Press • Aug 18, 2015 Associated Press Florida's Python Hunting season is back, and the state has expanded the search for invasive Burmese Pythons into Everglades National Park. Python Challenge Slithers On Despite Concerns From PETA By Trimmel Gomes • Jan 14, 2013 Associated Press Florida's Python hunt is underway. Wildlife officials are offering cash prizes to encourage hunters to catch and kill as many of the invasive species living in the Everglades as possible. The event has attracted hundreds of amateurs armed with machetes and guns but one animal rights group is concerned. The group People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals, or PETA, worries about using decapitation as one of three legal methods Florida Wildlife Officials have authorized for killing pythons. Lori Kettle with PETA, is calling on the state to ban the practice.

This is for all the authors having serious doubts about writing, dreams, careers, and the future of life as we know it. Bookmark this page and reread as necessary.
Listen to the glittery princess: DREAMS COME TRUE.
The world does not have a finite amount of readers in the world. If you write a book, people will read it.
There are not a finite amount of bookshelves in the world. If you write a book, there will be a place for it.
The world of publishing is not going to fold up into a black hole and vanish. If you write a book, there will be a place to publish that book.
There is not a finite amount of happiness in the world. Someone else's happiness and good news does not steal happiness and good news from you. Your happiness is still there.
Chin up, kiddo, you're going to make it.
Writing is a crazy art form. You work and slave in silence and isolation for weeks or years at a time and you get no feedback. Maybe you have a good crit partner who cheers you on, but for the most part you are telling a story to the nothingness between stars and it is HARD.
It's hard not knowing if anyone will get your jokes. It's hard not knowing what readers think until after you've written the book. It's hard to remember why you're writing a book at all when you're looking at the middle of a rough draft and it's off track and horrible.
Keep writing.
Keep writing.
That's all you need to do today: keep writing.
Publishing is not a nice, smooth road without bumps and bruises. This isn't 10th grade essay writing where the teacher only cares if you used a legible font and spell check; this is the big leagues.
Even if you take the simplest road to publication - short story, edited by a friend, make your own cover, self-pub an ebook - you're going to run into problems. Formatting won't work, you won't love the cover, the title is taken, whatever. Even if you're publishing a book just to share with friends and you never want to make a dime out of it, writing and editing are hard. When you aim higher, offering your book to more than just your immediate friends and family, publishing gets harder.
Writing a book is the first switch back on the roller coaster. It's hard to write a full story, but it's not the hardest part. It might not even be the funnest part. If you want to publish, that needs to not matter. You need to climb onto the roller coaster, strap yourself in, and take the highs with the lows. Prepare for the slow uphill slog and the terrifying, stomach-clenching drops. Some days everything will move at a glacial pace, other parts will fly by.
If you fall down, that's cool. Stand up, brush off the dirt, wear the blood, and sweat, and tears as your war paint. Keep writing. Keep going. Don't give up. The only way you fail is if you quit.
Keep writing.

For those interested, here are some pix of the custom pinball cab I built for (mostly) Pinball FX on PC. I basically sketched out a design on paper, then cut the wood, bought all the arcade and PC components, painted, built the PC inside, etc. Buttons pretty much cover everything you can do in PFX with a normal controller, including flippers, tilt (L/R/F), launch, etc. The screen is a 24" monitor covered with a nonglare acrylic plastic, buttons are all lighted, wired in via the IPAC2 controller. Overall I am pretty pleased with the end result - small enough to port around, but a good size for emulating a pinball feel without taking up a ton of space.

"We brought many shoes, clothes for kids, milk and milk powder. These are all for kids," said another donor. (SOURCE: CCTV)

Farmers' markets soar
January 9, 2010 at 4:55 pm Dee Leave a comment
It's interesting that when most economic indicators were plummeting last year, the number of farmers' markets continued an upward spiral and soared 13% in 2009 — one of the biggest jumps in recent history, according to the USDA. There are now 5,274 farmers' markets nationwide, compared to 4,685 in 2008. The number of farmers' markets has grown a whopping 200% since 1994 when there were only 1,755.
This doesn't surprise us too much in Chatham County. The number of markets in little ol' Pittsboro (population 2,700) doubled last year. We now have 2. There are 5 markets in our rural county, including the 2 in Pittsboro, 1 in Fearrington, 1 in Siler City and a new one in northeast Chatham on NC 751. By my reckoning that's a 66% increase over the previous year.
And there's another market just south of PBO in Sanford, and another just north of the county line in Southern Village (that one is connected to the famous Carrboro market, the first in our region, founded back in 1978). That's an amazing amount of farmers' markets in a county with a population of about 69,000.
So what's going on? It could be that folks are cooking more, eating at home, and figuring that when they are not going out to dine, they can afford the best, freshest ingredients. No doubt some just prefer fresh local chemical-free fare over stale industrialized junk, or maybe they want to support their local economy and people they know. Lowering your carbon footprint by reducing food miles and fossil fuel costs seems like a nice bonus, too.
I suspect it's all of those factors and something more. When the economy is going to hell, you want to bring a little control back in your life and maybe you just want something authentic.
Like real food from real people.
