We're bringing you something quite obscure here on Gazfunk this week. This selection brings an artist that I know very little about.
After zooming around on the internet trying to find more dirt on this guy, it turns out that Cha Cha Hogan is a little known actor who appeared in the American tv show "Sanford and Son". His singing career was mainly as an opening act for many different artists (including the Four Tops) and this allowed him the opportunity to travel the world.
This cut is a nice midtempo slice of piano funk, quite similar in style to Ike Turner (particularly some of the tracks off "A Black Man's Soul").

CABRAL, Pedro Álvarez. Belmonte, Portugal 1467/68 — Santarém? 1520. Portuguese Sailor. Son of a nobleman, Fernão C., himself in high positions at the court of king Manuel. In 1500 he was given the command of the second Portuguese Indian expedition. Started from Lisbon 9.3.1500, was driven to Brazil, which was seen on 22.4. After ten days in Brazil continued to India and arrived on 13.9.1500 in Calicut, where a fortified trading-post was founded. Later the Portuguese quarreled and fought with the Raja and moved to Cochin. The expedition left India on 16.1.1501 and arrived in Portugal on 23.6. Though first planned to be the head of the next expedition, too, of unknown reason PAC fell from the royal favour, retired to his estate in Beira Baixa Province and spent the rest of his life there.

You may have heard of the laissez-faire style of leadership. In this style, the leader is more "hands off". Provide tools and resources, but let the group make decisions. Maybe some guidance, some goals, some suggestions, but authority is delegated. This style most highly values independence and the will of the group over the will of the leader.
And, apparently, God is a laissez-faire Lord.
That's what I'm told. Despite the highly popular "God loves you and has a wonderful plan for your life" message, apparently the truth is "God does not have specific plans for your life. His only plan is to let you do what you want and He hopes what you want is to trust Him." I suppose this is intended to free God up from any blame. And to hold us accountable for our choices. After all, if God has specific plans for people's lives, then that just makes Him 1) a puppet master and 2) culpable for our sin.
So, when Jesus was asked whose sin caused the man to be born blind and answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents, but that the works of God might be displayed in him" (John 9:3), we cannot conclude that God made this guy blind for the works of God to be displayed in him, but that it just happened and God figured He could work with it. (That's what the teacher of our adult Sunday school class told me.) When God told Jeremiah, "Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations" (Jer 1:5), He did not mean that He had an individual plan for Jeremiah's life. He just knew that Jeremiah would choose to follow Him and be His prophet. When David says "Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in Your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them" (Psa 139:16), he is engaging in poetic language. God did not actually form the days for him; He simply knew what they would be. When Solomon wrote, "The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps" (Prov 16:9), he could not mean that the LORD establishes his steps. It means something ... different.
I have to be honest. I don't know how to correlate Scriptures like these with a "hands off" God. Nor can I see God as Sovereign. This version seems much closer to deism than theism. And while laissez-faire leadership might work in applications among humans -- equals -- I cannot see how it could be remotely possible (or biblical) if applied to God. There is no such thing as laissez-faire lordship. Either He is the "only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords" (1 Tim 6:15) or He is not.

I don't know why they feel the need to absolve God of our guilt. It's both/and. God is absolutely Sovereign in all things, and we are culpable for our actions. Scripture clearly teaches both concepts without a doubt. But for some reason, people can't accept that God is control of everything, and we are responsible for our actions. They're both in the Bible, so they must both be true. And how anyone can say, "God let's us do as we please without interference" and,"God has a plan for the bad things that happen in your life" (which are typically because of our actions), is beyond me.

Why is "canceled" sometimes spelled with two l's? The simple answer is that "canceled" with a single l is the American spelling, and "cancelled" with two l's is the British spelling.
Various English-speaking countries have developed their own dialects, accents, and spellings, including "canceled" and "cancelled."
If you want to know more about these dialect variations, you can read our full article about the differences between American and British spellings.
Canceled in American English
In the U.S., the preferred spelling is "canceled." This also goes for the word "canceling."
However, this spelling preference is relatively recent, so you may still see American publications that use two l's.
- School was canceled because of the snow.
- I'm canceling dinner plans with my friends because I am not feeling well.
Cancelled in British, Canadian, and Australian English
It's not just Brits who prefer "cancelled," but other English speaking countries such as Canada and Australia as well.
- The boss
cancelledthe meeting.
- The band is
cancellingall of its concerts here in Britain!
More Variations of Cancel
While both Americans and Brits spell "cancel" with just one l, there are other forms of the word that also vary in their use of one or two l's:
- cancelers/cancellers
- cancelable/cancellable
It is important to note, however, that the word "cancellation" does not have a single-l variation. No matter where you are, "cancellation" is spelled with two l's.

Despite all the excellent advice I received regarding layering prior to my Bologna excursion, I was determined to have at least one dress. The forecast for our stay (blissfully accurate, it turned out) was beautifully warm and I was determined to fulfill my vision of wafting around the city in cool comfort. I decided that a printed linen shirt dress might be a good solution – reasoning that it could always be worn half-open over trousers or leggings should the need arise.
Pattern choice
This wasn't my first foray into shirt dress territory – I figured I was fairly certain about my preferences which include:
- The structure of a classic shirt collar on a stand rather than a flat collar or a notched collar
- A shaped rather than closely-fitted design so that buttons are less likely to pop open
- A one-piece length rather than a waisted design
For this project I was also looking for:
- A sleeve option – just in case of chills and also to avoid sunburn (oh, don't we love a bit of optimism…)
- A longer length that could be worn half-open over trousers
- A simple pattern requiring minimum fitting and fiddling due to time constraints
On this occasion I discounted Vogue 8903 because of a couple of personal fitting issues. It's a classic that I like – but it's also fairly closely-fitting across the shoulders and the waist is set way too low for me and needs re-fitting…another time…
After a fair bit of research I came up with Style Arc's 'Sacha' Shirt.
I liked the collar style, the pattern seemed very straight-forward and the sleeves just what I wanted since I usually find myself rolling my sleeves up – so why not cut to the chase, so to speak.
I know! It's not a dress. But all it needed, I reasoned, was a couple more feet of fabric on the bottom. Plus if I had time then I'd be familiar enough with the pattern to knock up a shirt as well. I didn't have the time as it turned out (no, really?) but that remains an option.
Some minor hacking
Hardly even a 'hack' really – but I added on 50cm to the dress length, ignored the side vents and once made up, continued the buttons down to around knee level. I continued the angled line of the shirt down to the hemline – no shaping meant maximum wafting potential I reckoned. Easy. Job done.
Making up (and a bit more hacking)
In terms of making up, the Sacha shirt dress turned out to be a breeze. The Style Arc instructions tend not to be as expansive as the Vogue patterns that many of us grew up with, and which are as good as a sewing manual. Having said that, this shirt is easy by design and if you're a first-timer then worry not – there are diagrams for the collar construction. The sleeves set in with consummate ease and really – it was a pleasure to put together.
The fabric I chose was our 'Garofano' ochre and grey printed linen fabric which is a blend of linen and viscose.
I love the silver grey and ochre combination – and the colours worked well with the rest of my mini-wardrobe. It pre-washed nicely and steamed beautifully afterwards. Noticeably softer and drapier once washed, it still retained plenty of structure. For the record it was worn in bright sunlight with no special thought to colour of undergarments and modesty was preserved well at this point at least. More on that later…
It's always tricky choosing a thread for a printed fabric. Personal taste is as important as anything – and in this case I opted to pick out the grey in the pattern for my thread. My button choice took a while. Laying out a selection of whites, greys, charcoals and earthy colours, it was clear that despite my expectations, the darker, warmer greys worked best, blending well with the darker elements of the print pattern and picking up the gentle warmth of the grey in the print background. I still opted for buttonholes in white however – on the basis that most of the background was light coloured. Is there a rule for prints? What would you have done? I'm never quite sure….
Once I got to the trying-on stage it was clear that there was an awful lot of dress here. I've discussed previously my twitchiness in that department and I realised that something needed to be done. I think the issue here is that this is meant to be a comfortable shirt or tunic and that simply continuing that line down through the length of a dress doesn't really cut the style mustard. Worn open over a narrower silhouette even with relaxed trousers – or closed over narrower-legged trousers or a pencil skirt, this design would work better. However at this late stage I figured that a couple of well-placed darts at the back would have to suffice.
I whipped out my favourite semi-fitted shirt pattern which I've adjusted to fit previously and used it to place two vertical darts in the back panel.
This definitely helped with the blousing and shaping to some extent…
…although I suspect that a more fundamental re-think of the shaping and darting might have been beneficial if I'd had time.
"Or even, using an actual dress pattern Alice, do you think that might have helped…?"
Yes, yes, I know. Still. It did the job on a short timescale.
The wearing
Our first day started…well – with a bang. Resourceful as ever, my room-mate and I had commissioned the bath mat as a means of wedging shut the rooflight blinds to keep our bedroom as dark and cool as possible. This worked and a good night's kip was had by all – although the tiled bathroom floor was left with no mat for wet feet. The last one out of the shower, I hurtled from bathroom to bedroom with a towel wrapped around me. As I turned the corner (at some speed, I'll confess) my feet whipped out from underneath me and I slammed to the floor against the doorpost with my towel landing some distance away. So much for graceful wafting. Wailing and laughing at the same time I managed to persuade my flatmates to keep their distance from my indignity.
Fortunately my new dress covered the bruises and as we climbed into the Amazing Glass Lift we realised that for the first time this year for any of us, we were wearing bare feet and sandals. Whoopee!
The sun shone and the temperature was just perfect. Neither too cool nor too warm, we sat outside for a breakfast of coffee and sfogliato. I discovered these to be delicious Italian croissant-y breakfast pastries with a lemony filling and a lightly caramelised glaze. Oh, the self-control required only to eat a single one and not return for a fourth, a fifth…
We had a fabulous time wandering lazily through the city and I'm delighted to confirm that my printed linen shirt dress proved to be the perfect garment for the occasion. It wafted as coolly as one might hope; soft to wear yet holding its shape with remarkably little rumpling.
That first day we took in the University, the Asinelli Tower and more porticos and piazzas than we could believe existed; such extraordinary beauty. As well as all these, Bologna is known for its food. Hence, I'm afraid…
For these pictures as well as other impromptu photography as we progressed around the city, I'm grateful to Signorina de Ferrer and Signorina Egby. Mario Testino would be proud…
The verdict
I was genuinely delighted with my choice of fabric which was very easy to work and which felt lovely to wear. It also worked well with the rest of my quick-sew wardrobe. As mentioned in my last post, I was completely bowled over by the amount of colour in Italy – all those terracottas, ochres and deep brick reds – framed by greenery and that blue, blue sky. I felt perhaps a little restrained in the face of all this exuberance. On the construction front the collar stood up well and I was pleased with the sleeve length and the cuff detail.
However despite the relative success of the dress as a whole, it perhaps deserves a bit of a refit. I think that a dress of this length in my case either needs to be much straighter, more columnar – or requires more shaping up the side seams. In which case it might well need a couple of vertical front darts to match those in the back.
I'm not sure that this is a length that works well for me – and I have only the hastiness of my cutting-out to blame. Should I have taken it even longer longer? Or perhaps cutting it off around the knee might have worked better? If all else fails then I might yet refashion it into the original shirt to wear as a tunic.
Finally if I'd had a decent pair of flat sandals then I'd have worn them. Not just for comfort but because I think even my casual cork wedges made the dress feel more – well – 'dressy' than I was entirely comfortable with. Or do I simply need to stretch my dress horizons a little more?
As ever, any thoughts on pattern choices, stylings and alternative approaches are welcome! This was a learning experience in terms of what to make for the occasion in question. What would you have worn instead? Answers on a postcard…(or just comment below!)

People with low creditworthiness wonder how to get a startup business loan with bad credit and no collateral. It's possible. Still, the process of loan approval will be longer and the loan terms will be less profitable.
Firstly, you should develop an impressive and convincing business plan. A potentially successful business plan can contribute your creditworthiness. Then you should request a credit report. Such things as hard inquiries, late payments, and credit usage can drive your score down. When you define these factors, it's easier to fix them and improve the credit score.
If you don't know how to get a small business loan with bad credit and no collateral, then you should consider the help of the peer-to-peer lenders. Individuals (rather than lending institutions) offer unsecured loans for people with bad credits. Still, it's important to check out the reputation of the potential lender.
The other alternative to get a loan is to find a partner with outstanding credit, who will more likely get an approval. In this case, it's also very important to have a winning business plan.
Crowdfunding is also a modern opportunity when you don't know where to get business loan for an existing business with bad credit and no collateral.

***GET A FREE RED SOX 2013 WORLD SERIES CELEBRATION 16x20 PHOTOGRAPH FEAT. DAVID ORTIZ w/ PURCHASE OF 16x20 DISPLAY! (SEE IMAGE ABOVE) *** The 2013 Boston Red Sox season was the 113th in the team's history. The Sox opened 2013 on the road, playing against the dreaded New York Yankees. And, of course, they closed this memorable season at home...at Fenway...on October 30th. A game...and night...no Red Sox fan will ever forget. In between there was 97 regular season victories, the first AL East crown since 2007, convincing playoff victories over the Rays and the Tigers, and LOTS of beard growing. Oh...and their World Series victory over St. Louis. In beating the Cardinals, Boston became only the second team to win the World Series a year after finishing last in their Division. And they won it in Fenway! Fenway Park has borne witness to more baseball history than any other major league ballpark still in use, but the 101-year-old bandbox has not seen a World Series-clinching win by the home team since 1918. It was the third Crown in 10 years for the Red Sox, who somehow managed to go 86 years without one before this period of excellence. But this time they won it at home which made it perhaps the most special of the three Championships to Boston fans. This great 16x20 or 11x14 photograph of Fenway, taken moments after the final out, is Sports Gallery Quality Framed with Exclusive "Boston Strong" plate that includes Red Sox Logo and commemorates this special win. OR YOU CAN CREATE YOUR OWN PLATE! The 16x20 Display is also available with an inset replica ticket from this historic game. Whichever display you chose, this beauty is the perfect gift for any Sox Fan!

SIUE Engineering Camp Inspires Future Problem Solvers, Innovators
The Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Engineering's (SOE) state-of-the-art Student Design Center was buzzing with drone activity on Wednesday, June 13, as students from across the nation engaged in hands-on learning during the School's 2018 Engineering Camp.
The dynamic camp, sponsored by Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery, and supported by MiTek, exposes high school students to the world of engineering. The SOE welcomed 52 students from across the country for two week-long camp sessions held June 3-15.
Campers explored the opportunities that exist through SOE programs that span the industry, including computer science, construction management, mechatronics and robotics, and civil, electrical, computer, industrial and mechanical engineering.
"At our School of Engineering high school summer camp, our campers apply their enthusiasm, creativity and innovation as they learn about the wide range of opportunities ahead of them," said SOE Associate Dean Chris Gordon, PhD. "The camp provides an opportunity for students to learn, discover, become inspired and get a taste of college life at SIUE."
During Engineering Camp, participants toured Phillips 66 Wood River Refinery and got a first-hand look at the water treatment processes that occur at SIUE's Environmental Resources Training Center. Engaging camp activities included robot creation, bridge building, computer game development and more.
"I've always been fascinated with engineering," said 14-year-old Orion Gregory, of Glen Carbon. "I like solving problems through unconventional routes. The lectures have been interesting, and I've also enjoyed socializing with others who have a shared interest in engineering."
This year, faculty from the SOE's mechatronics and robotics program also led an activity that involved the programming of a drone to complete a circular challenge.
"We know many students have drones or RC cars in their homes, but they are most likely controlled manually through a remote control," said Mingshao Zhang, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. "With this activity, we are giving them the basic ideas of control and automation and teaching them how to program a drone. They're telling the drone, 'This is what you are going to do for me. And, I need you to do it.' They get excited when they realize they're accomplishing the challenge."
"The preciseness needed to do the drone activity, the coding and programming, was interesting and made it fun," said 17-year-old Phil Gokhman, of Chicago.
"Our mechatronics and robotics program is heavily focused on mobile robotics as a research area," explained Nima Lotfi, PhD, assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering. "We are also getting into work with drones. This activity is an interesting way for students to learn the fundamentals of mechatronics systems."
"I love engineering so I thought I would try out this engineering camp," added 14-year-old Ishan Shah, of Chicago. "I have a lot of drones at home, so I liked doing that activity. The whole campus is motivating and seems to brings out my desire to do more."
Erin Kaelin traveled from Denver to participate in SIUE's Engineering Camp.
"I think it's cool to find out how things are made and be a part of the creation process," the 14-year-old said. "My favorite part was when we built robots."
St. Louis native Kristen Wallace, appreciated the breadth of the camp's activities, sparking her interest in a variety of engineering specializations.
"I'm interested in environmental engineering, so I liked the tour of the Environmental Resources Training Center," Wallace said. "I have heard that SIUE is a great school for engineering of all types, so I researched and was excited to find this camp."
SIUE engineering students mentored the participating students and helped inspire the next generation.
"Our campers learn from our hands-on activities as well as from the mentorship of our School of Engineering faculty and staff, and our camp counselors, who are students from the School of Engineering," said Gordon.
"Campers come from across the country to experience our unique facilities, programs, partnerships and expertise," he added. "Several campers return to campus as freshmen poised with a head start on determining which areas excite them the most."

Successful gardening depends on the health of your soil
As modern gardeners we typically enrich the soil with commercial fertilisers rather than composting; not only are these expensive substitutes for the real thing, they are also bad for the environment.
Composting as a recognised practice dates to at least the early Roman Empire where composting was simply to pile organic materials until the next planting season, at which time the materials would have decayed enough to be ready for use in the soil.
Composting is nature's way of recycling by transforming organic matter that is ready for disposal into something beneficial.
Basically, organic materials like grass clippings, vegetable matter, egg shells, coffee grinds, tea bags (anything that is not animal-based) are placed in a suitable container or pile to decompose.
Over time, these materials turn into a rich form of soil, humus, the heart of the soil ecosystem.
In order to stay organic, be sure everything you compost is also free of toxic chemicals
By composting, you can help to reduce the amount of waste that is being directed into our landfills. This also means a reduction of concentrated methane gas being released into the atmosphere, which equates to a decrease in overall pollution. Less garbage being sent to the landfill also means a reduction in waste management costs for our community, and eventually for the entire country.
Composting also cuts down on the use of chemical fertilisers, which are harmful to our water supply, and are expensive to produce and transport.
Maturing Compost and Why it's Important
Maturity is the degree or level of completeness of the composting process. For mature compost the starting materials have been sufficiently decomposed to produce a stable product. In contrast, immature compost that is still decomposing may contain one or more compounds that inhibit plant growth, may contain viable weed seeds, or have other undesirable characteristics, such as odor.
Composts vary quite widely in their chemical and physical characteristics, depending on the original materials used and the conditions maintained while the material was composting. In general, though, composts share the ability to provide these benefits:
- Plant available nutrients and micro nutrients and unlike most inorganic fertilisers, compost functions as a slow-release store of nutrients, so that the nutrients are available as the plants require them instead of in one intense flush.
- Organic matter which increases the soil's water holding ability, allows better infiltration of both air and water and the soil structure is improved. Earthworm activity is also encouraged, further enhancing soil fertility.
- Biological activity. Compost is biologically active, supplying a range of microorganisms that enhance the health of both soil and crops.
Most compost are in the neutral pH range by the time they are mature, however this can depend on the materials used. Make sure you test the PH levels of your compost before adding to plants and adjust with lime or sulphur as necessary, at this time.
Methods of Composting
Basically there are two methods aerobic and anaerobic. The first of these methods uses air, for example by turning the materials which generates high heat and speeds up the process of decomposition. This is often referred to as the Berkeley method.
The Indore method is the second and relies on the build up of anaerobic bacteria to do the work of breaking down the organic matter. The heap can be either free standing or made in a compost bin and is the simplest way with the least effort.
Whichever method or container you use for making compost, you need to have a mixture of carbon rich and nitrogen rich materials as well as manure.
Bokashi Composting
A relatively new method of intensive composting is Bokashi which is suitable for in home composting applications. Kitchen waste is placed into a container which can be sealed with an air tight lid. These scraps are then inoculated with a Bokashi Effective Microorganism mix. This usually takes the form of a carrier, such as wheat bran or saw dust that has been inoculated with composting micro-organisms. The EM are natural lactic acid bacteria, yeast, and phototrophic bacteria that act as a microbe community within the kitchen scraps, fermenting and accelerating breakdown of the organic matter.
To use this method simply place alternating layers of food scraps and Bokashi mix until the container is full. Liquid is drained once or twice a week and can be diluted 1:100 and added to plants as fertilizer. Once the container is full, it is left to ferment for an additional 2 weeks in the container, and then can be buried or added to your other compost heaps or containers.
The Future of Composting
Although the most efficient and environmentally friendly process is for individuals to compost their own waste, large-scale composting systems are used by many urban centres around the world reducing landfill and producing a rich soil supplement instead.
Co-composting is a technique which combines solid waste with de-watered bio-solids. Currently the world's largest co-composter is the Edmonton Composting Facility in Canada, which turns 220,000 tonnes of residential solid waste and 22,500 dry tonnes of bio-solids per year into 80,000 tonnes of compost.
The State of Qatar is this year completing a project on a 275,000 tonne/year Anaerobic Digestion and Composting Plant. This plant, with 15 independent anaerobic digesters will be the world's largest composting facility once fully operational in early 2011 and forms part of the Qatar Domestic Solid Waste Management Centre, the largest integrated waste management complex in the Middle East.

Why A.A.'s 12 Step Program Works in Addiction Treatment
One of the biggest misconceptions about addiction is that the booze, the crack, the heroin – that they are the disease. What they are is a symptom of the disease of addiction.
Get sober and you will still be sick. The mind is still sick, the spirit is still sick. Getting well requires a comprehensive plan of action. We believe that a 12-Step-centered drug rehab program must be in play in order for the addict to get and stay well.
A study by the National Institutes of Health found "…rates of abstinence are about twice as high for those who attended a 12-Step group such as A.A. following (primary rehab) treatment". Moreover, the longer, and more meetings attended, significantly contributed to overall rates of enduring sobriety. Two factors persist here: longevity of support and the 12 Steps of A.A.

Decorative Arts
17th century
Until recently thought to have belonged to Anne of Austria, queen, then regent of France (1601–1666), this gold chest has long been regarded as one of the masterpieces of the Department of Decorative Arts. It is also one of the key pieces from the former royal collections still in existence. It is mentioned in royal inventories from 1718, then at the Tuileries Palace until 1833. It later entered the Musée des Souverains, where it was listed as the "jewelry casket of Queen Anne of Austria, wife of Louis XIII." This hypothesis as to its provenance has never been proven, and the openwork gold decoration suggests a significantly later dating. Recently discovered archive material has now established that the chest was delivered to Louis XIV in spring 1676 "to lock up all the finery," (the gems with which the king's court costumes were studded). Ordered from the great jeweler Jean Pittan, the chest was made by his colleague Jacob Blanck, a little-known Protestant goldsmith. Following this discovery, the technical and scientific study of the chest carried out by the Center for the Research and Restoration of Museums of France (C2RMF) in spring 2013 confirmed this historical data, considerably enhancing our knowledge of the virtuosity of the Parisian gold- and silversmiths of this time.

Why is it so hard for me to say the things that I think?
Seriously, why?
I'm thinking things right now, but all I do is write something down, stop, get stuck, go back.
I think I'm trying to write all the things I should be doing and trying to do all the things I've been writing.
I really need to figure some things out. I need to figure out where I'm coming from and where I'm going. I need to establish me. Maybe start a serious writing career.
I've enjoyed writing here. I have to admit that lately I've been the most content when free to write with no boundaries. It's a cool feeling to have inspiration hit and be able to write it and share it instantly. It leaves one feeling very vulnerable, to be sure, but the satisfaction is immediate.
I could almost make the argument that blogging, in some instances, is an art form. Like other art forms, exposing your thoughts through writing at their initial point of genesis provides a very raw insight into the idea on which the thought was born. The catch is that the reader seldom has any idea as to that which was the initial thought.
What I'm getting at is simple. I love writing. I want to write for a living. Like this. I want to have the freedom (and I mean that in a non-Constitutional way) to be able to simply write. What a simple desire and probably shared by a lot of people. But how many people actually strive to achieve it? Sure we talk about it. Everyone talks about it. But how many people actually work to make it happen? Go to a bookstore and you'll see the shelves are full of them. I just need to be one of those people that make it happen.
Hopefully this is what this blog has begun to train me for. I've needed a reason to write everyday.
I remember reading Cruel Shoes by Steve Martin as a kid. His humor was so detatched and random. I almost got the feeling that the chapters were pieced together as though they were thrown into the air and picked back up at random. But at the same time, it wouldn't surprise me to know that each chapter was specifically placed for reasons far too deep for us to fathom, and way too goddamn funny for us to appreciate. I want to be regarded by people that way. I want to make people laugh without thinking, and think while they're laughing.
Certainly many writers' single biggest hangup is sitting down and actually writing. One the reasons for a block in motivation like this might be a lack of an outlet. Along with that though, I think I've discovered over the years that it's hard to make oneself write with a particular voice if one is not sure that voice will actually be heard. Sometimes, rather than speak up and try harder to be heard, the voice trails of as if the writer believes that to continue would be futile. But at the same time, if he doesn't try, then nothing happens. Good, or bad.
What I'm getting at is that I'm thankful to have this outlet which provides me with the knowledge that there are actually people out there who enjoy what I write. That's really all the motivation I need. At least I hope it's being enjoyed. If nothing else, it's nice to know that it's at least being read.
Not that my posts are all littered with purpose and meaning, few, if any, are. But never underestimate the unknown motivation of raw thoughts. They come from somewhere.

Could you imagine what Christmas with the West's would be like?
Maybe not – especially with Kimmie Cakes and Kanye constantly into it about the lack of time Kanye spends at home with his family.
Well, it seems that Kanye has once again found a way to publicly humiliate Kim after he bailed on a family day this weekend due to work commitments, and boy was Kimmie furious.
RadarOnline.com reports that the couple took their beautiful bundle of joy, North, out to see Disney On Ice at LA's Staple Center on Sunday, but their moment of bonding was merely momentary.
"Kanye bailed after thirty minutes because he had work commitments, including finishing work on the upcoming documentary about his Yeezus concert tour," a source told Radar. "Kim was absolutely furious with Kanye for leaving after only such a short time."
I guess this is the price you pay after becoming Mrs. West, huh? Is it really that hard for Kanye to set aside time for his family?
"Kim was embarrassed by Kanye's actions," the source continued. "Luckily, she had friends there to support her, and tried to keep the focus on North. In the end, Kim ended up leaving before the show ended too, because she was in a bad mood."
Kim was ok with Kanye not showing up for thanksgiving so maybe Kanye feels that it's ok to skip out on family time. Sources tell Radar "They have been fighting non-stop about Kanye's priorities — which don't seem to place emphasis on spending time with her."
Truth be told, will they even make it to their one year anniversary? If they do, will Kanye even be in attendance for it?
Now although, Kanye may seem like the bad guy in their marriage Kim has her own set of skeletons in her closet as well. Kim was reportedly MIA while Kanye attended a family reunion this weekend in Delaware.
With Christmas only a few days away I hope these two end their year on a positive note. Plus no one likes an absent father so hopefully he understands that his money will never be able to priceless moments that he'll get to spend with his daughter.

… and how I feel about eating disorders, about the current state of our economy, the political scrapping and other such quibbles. Maybe it's the post Harvest Moon which resembled the bounty and beauty of a big, bright pumpkin in all it's glory bringing Ursa Major back down for Autumn hibernation and seasonal change. My ancestral forefather's and mother's deeply rooted with Finnic-myths describing the endeared 'Kontio' – "dweller of the land"; such ancient stories recalling and reconnecting with one another.
Right now,
what she said,
is the size of a grizzly,
nine feet
with stiletto claws swiping
my innards.
just inhale
slowly away,
like a sailboat,
is waiting for tomorrow's
to sweep me
safely from this shore,
can stand on the deck,
day by day,
watching that grizzly shrink
smaller until it's only
chased away.

… Juoksahkka, Maadteraahka I think of you!

Sharanye trayambake gauri, Narayani namostute :
: O Mother ! You are the personification of all that is auspicious,
You are the benevolent form of Lord Shiva,
You bestow Divine energy and help people achieve Righteousness, wealth, fulfill desires and Liberation,
You are worthy of being surrendered to.
Three eyes adorn You.
O Narayani Devi, I pay obeisance to You
A wonderful non-profit organization created by Gail Schoenbach For Recovery and Elimination of Eating Disorders – F.R.E.E.D. will be holding a Mother-Daughter Workshop in conjunction with the Eating Disorders Association of New Jersey Saturday, October 18th from 9:30AM-2:30PM at Summit Medical Group.
The workshop's aim is to "engage women and girls as they explore and challenge their beliefs about themselves, their bodies, and body image". Freelance journalist, blogger and author, Courtney E. Martin who wrote Perfect Girls, Starving Daughters will be the keynote presenter along with therapist, Suzanne Rubinetti.
F.R.E.E.D.'s mission is to:
- Provide financial support for treating eating disorder (a major hindrance for sufferers and their families in obtaining treatment/recovery resources as well as follow-up care — F.R.E.E.D.'s priority and focus on this issue is to be commended).
- Increase public awareness and provide educational resources.
- Advocate for the acknowledgement and acceptance of Eating Disorders as a serious and urgent disease.
Ms Schoenbach's own battle with ED and body image issues took place in silence for years until she began the slow process of recovery, and it was during this healing time that she found a passion and drive to create F.R.E.E.D. and her additional adjunct G.R.Schoenbach Foundation which holds annual fund-raising events and campaigns to continue her committed work.
Organizations like these are inspiring, so if you live in the New Jersey area, are a mother with a daughter with/without an eating disorder, go partake in "day of empowerment", sharing, support and learning– it will do the body&mind good!
Well I haven't been blogging to an idealized expectation… but there is good reason– SPRING!
This time of year is definitely infectious for us. Things are blooming, the soil is deep, dark, rich and inviting (which reminds me, the compost needs turning) and I simply can't resist when the weather beckons and stays as wonderful as it has. We spend most of our time outdoors when spring and summer arrive so I can only apologize for posting infrequently and sporadically. And this summer we'll be either vacationing in India, the Rocky Mountains, or beachin' it on Big Sur– so even more intermittent rambles, c'est ca!
This weekend is also Chicago's Green Festival and we'll be heading out for the party. Personally I can't think of a better way of treating the family with some fun, gorgeous weather, great food and extended community company!
Wishing all of you a very Bountiful, Healthy and Happy Summer!
Being an artist
means, not reckoning and counting,
but ripening like the tree
which does not force its sap
and stands confident
in the storms of spring
without the fear that after them
may come no summer
