What makes a good book blog? That's the question I asked when I decided to create a book blog of my own, and to celebrate the beginning of a new year I'm giving away two free copies of my book 'How to Start a Book Blog: A Step by Step Guide' which is full of tips and advice for anyone interested in book blogging (see details of how to enter this giveaway below). Of course everyone will have different ideas about what makes a good book blog, but here are my top five… Continue reading
Poetry – Feedback, Submissions and the #100Rejections Challenge
How do you decide which poems to submit to which magazines, and when? How do you cope when your poems get rejected? And how do you respond to critical and constructive feedback? These three questions are ones which I'm sure every poet grapples with, and I've certainly had my fair share of grappling this year. It's helpful to pause and look back every now and then, so here are my reflections on taking part in the #100rejections challenge… Continue reading
Being Published – An Interview with Gareth Davies
Gareth Davies' novel humans, being has just been published by Cinnamon Press. The book centres around Vic, a middle-aged comedian whose wife has just left him. Vic must come to terms with his new life as a part-time dad, looking after his son (Elis) whilst attempting to get back into the dating game, unsure who he's looking for, or how to find her. He soon discovers that life can become quite confusing, and his best friend Mia is having troubles of her own…
Book Review: On Poetry by Glyn Maxwell
On Poetry is not just another book about poetry, it's in a whole category of its own. It's short, and concise, but also full of irony, subtlety and humour. It has a simple structure and purpose, to break poetry down to its basic elements and encourage you to pick them up for yourself, beginning with 'white' – a chapter which considers the essential element of white space on the page – the one thing that, Maxwell argues, divides poetry from prose. After reading this chapter, I had to put the book down to process it for a while, and then I read the whole chapter again. It's that kind of book. Continue reading
Writing on a Global Scale: An Interview with Dylan Moore, Hay Festival International Fellow
Dylan Moore is a writer, editor, critic and English teacher living in South Wales. His first book Driving Home Both Ways was published by Parthian in 2018, and he was named as the Hay Festival Creative Wales International Fellow for 2018-19.
Dylan and I met a few years ago, when he happened to marry one of my close friends, and I was chuffed to hear that he was given the Hay Festival Fellowship, a programme that allows a writer from Wales to participate in international Hay Festival events throughout the year, in Colombia, Spain, Peru and Mexico as well as Hay itself. I thought it would be interesting, as he nears the end of this momentous year, to find out how it has shaped and developed his work as a writer… Continue reading
Three Years of Blogging – Part 1: Fiction & Festivals
I launched this book blog on 18th March 2016, with no idea where it would lead me. Looking back over the last three years it's hard to believe all that has happened in between. Reviewing books written by other people gave me the courage to look back at my own writing again, after years of relegating it to a dusty shelf, and to send it out into the world. So, to celebrate my three-year blogaversary I've picked out some of the posts I've most enjoyed writing, including my top three fiction reviews and my top three literary festivals… Continue reading
A Poet in the Making – Finding Inspiration at Tŷ Newydd
Last week I was invited to the Tŷ Newydd Writing Centre in North Wales as one of 10 writers selected for the 2019 Literature Wales Mentoring Scheme. After several months of ill-health I wasn't sure if I'd be able to attend, but the week turned out to be beneficial in more ways than one – providing not only inspiration and development for my writing, but also some much-needed rest and relaxation in a gorgeous old house on the Llŷn Peninsula. Continue reading
The Problem of Reviewing Poetry
Someone asked me the other day how long it takes to write a review, and it occurred to me that the amount of time and effort spent on reviewing a poetry collection goes far beyond common sense. Fiction is easy in comparison. A novel feeds slowly into your mind in plot form, with characters and subplots, ideas and comparisons already made and constructed in such a way that your subconscious does most of the work behind the scenes. You read, and then you write about what you've read. Simple.
Not so with poetry. I find myself taking a deep breath, and setting aside a period of uninterrupted time as I open up a new poetry collection, ready for an adventure as yet entirely unknown. It is better, often, to just delve in and begin to read, without glancing through the carefully crafted quotes on the back, or reading the blurb. Poetry is best taken neat – without any pre-conceptions. I look at the quotes later on, to see if they match up with what I've discovered. Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. Continue reading
The Magic of Place – A Creative Writing Summer School
Manchester Metropolitan University's annual Creative Writing Summer School is designed to push you into trying out new things. As a poet, I naturally signed up to attend most of the poetry sessions, but it was the 'place writing' workshops which I enjoyed the most. A visit to Chetham's Library, on the second day of the summer school, was definitely the highlight for me – an opportunity to forget the pressure of honing my craft as a writer, to wander about and take photos, scribble down notes and enjoy the atmosphere of peace and tranquillity. Continue reading
What's your 'Writer Identity'?
Are you a Welsh writer? Or an Irish writer? Or an Asian writer? Publishers love pigeon-holing their writers, and writers are often labelled by the media. But how do you identify with a particular location if you move around? Can 'writer identity' be a positive thing? And what do the writers think?
Here are just three opinions on the complex subject of 'writer identity' – not a representative snapshot by any means, but please do feel free to add your own thoughts using the comments below…
Diary of a Creative Writing MA Student – Year 1 of 2
I began an MA in Creative Writing in September, studying at Manchester Metropolitan University (part time by distance learning). I chose this particular course because it was possible to fit the work around my paid employment – the seminars are online in the evening (through chatrooms) and you can liaise with tutors via email or phone. It also has a great reputation, with a lot of talented writers teaching on the course, and it's possible to specialise in a particular area (novel writing, place writing, poetry or writing for children). I chose to specialise in poetry. Continue reading
Literary Highlights of 2017
Looking back over the last few months I can hardly believe all that's happened in such a short time. In the course of one year I have gone from blogger to literary event organiser and MA student, and am now fully immersed in Modernist poetry, as I slog on towards my first deadline. But so much has happened in between, including a smattering of literary festivals and events, so here are just five of my literary highlights from 2017: Continue reading
How to Get Published – Advice from a Book Brick
This year I have written a book. It happened kind of by accident, and then it occurred to me that I ought to get it published, or publish it myself. I began to research publishers online, and found the perfect one, only to discover that they won't accept direct submissions. I would need a literary agent. But I know almost nothing about literary agents! Where do you find a literary agent? In the Writers' and Artists' Yearbook, of course… Continue reading
Word Ward – A Therapeutic Writing Group
Creative Writing Groups can be as fascinating and varied as the people who attend them. I've been involved in several, and have recently started running one myself, so I thought it would be interesting to do a series of features on particular groups. To start us off, Rhian Elizabeth has written about her brand new group 'Word Ward'…. Continue reading
Looking Forward to The Anglesey Môntage Writing Festival
A Guest Post Written by Joy Mawby (Chair of Môntage Writers)
"What shall we do next?"
"How about organising a writing festival?"
I remember this conversation during a Môntage Writers' Committee meeting about eighteen months ago.
It had all started about five years earlier, when members of two Anglesey writing groups met to discuss how they might work together to publish some of their own work. Continue reading
The Lost Art of Letter Writing
When was the last time you received a handwritten letter? With developments in technology and social media, the fact that we can now communicate, instantly, with someone on the other side of the globe, it seems that letters will soon become no more than a distant memory, along with typewriters and telegrams. But I am convinced that we will be missing out on something significant, something valuable, something that provides us with a form of communication that is quite unique, but which also helps us to remember… Continue reading
An Interview with Novelist, Poet and Musician Linda Lee Welch
Linda Lee Welch was born and raised in the USA. She moved to the UK in 1976 and has worked as a musician, writer, community artist and teacher. She has two novels published by Virago and is also a prize-winning poet. She taught Creative Writing at Sheffield Hallam University for sixteen years, after completing the MA herself. Now retired from teaching, she is focusing on her writing, and collaborating with other writers, musicians and artists, including her husband Michael Harding. Continue reading
An Interview with Kate Hamer
Kate Hamer's debut thriller The Girl in the Red Coat was published in February 2015 and soon became a Sunday Times bestseller. It was shortlisted for numerous awards and has been translated into seventeen languages. I recently met up with her to talk about her second novel, The Doll Funeral (due to be published on 16th February) and the third one, which she is in the process of writing. We began by discussing her inspiration for the books… Continue reading

Nyeema Morgan is a Chicago based, interdisciplinary artist. Her work has been included in exhibitions at The Drawing Center, NY; The Studio Museum in Harlem, NY; Art in General, NY; Marlborough Contemporary, NY; The Bindery Projects, MN; South Hill Park Arts Center, Bracknell, UK; Galerie Jeanroch Dard, Paris, France; and the CSS Bard Galleries/ Bard College, NY. Morgan's awards and residencies include an Art Matters Grant, NY; Joan Mitchell Painters & Sculptors Grant, NY; Lower Manhattan Cultural Council Workspace residency, NY; AIRspace Program residency, Abrons Arts Center, NY; and the Skowhegan School of Painting & Sculpture, ME. Her works have been included in The Wall Street Journal, Time Out NY and The New York Times. Morgan earned an MFA from California College of the Arts and a BFA from Cooper Union School of Art.
Morgan's interdisciplinary practice explores personal and cultural economies of knowledge through familiar artifacts. Her works, whether project based or singular, are inspired by philosophical conflicts presented in our everyday encounters with images, objects and information, questioning how these artifacts are consumed, processed, re-presented and reiterated. Morgan's works, which have included large-scale drawings, installations, clay work, sculpture and printed matter, call to question information's conceptual and hierarchical value, challenge the boundaries of authoritative reasoning as well as make evident her own implications within a larger socio-political drama.

Benjamin's Testimonial:
Before Green City Force I was devoting all of my time to music. I would work odd jobs, even at a beer factory, just to have money in my pocket and promote my work. After going job to job, with less interest in each and every one, I took a year off from employment and worked on perfecting my music. After I saw a Green City Force posting in my development with the program's benefits listed, I was drawn to join Green City Force. I wasn't sure if I would be committed to it at first, but somehow I knew I needed to take an alternate direction for a while. The 6 months spent being a Corps Member at Green City Force taught me time management, what it means to be a leader and how to be self-sufficient. The knowledge I gained will be implemented into my daily life after graduation. I'd like to thank all Green City Force staff, all of the Corps Members whom I've gotten the chance to grow and work with, and most especially my mother, who has kept me level-headed and motivated.

Well it appears as though the Cowboys have finished their review and evaluation of the players over the past season and have now moved onto the coaching staff. New head coach Jason Garrett has been busy with interviews this week, and since the end of last week there have been a lot of names bantered about possibly joining the squad. Here are the latest rumors:
John Garrett – John Garrett is currently the Cowboys tight ends coach but is interviewing with the Miami Dolphins for a position there and may not be back with the Cowboys. He would be the second offensive coach to leave, joining wide receivers coach Ray Sherman.
Bobby Williams – Williams is currently the tight ends/special teams coach at Alabama. Williams has extensive experience, mostly with Nick Saban. He could coach wide receivers or tight ends with the Cowboys.
Dan Campbell – The former Cowboy tight end was interviewed this week as well. It is not yet known for what position but it is likely to be offensive line, tight ends or receivers coach. Campbell played for the Cowboys when Parcells was coach. Campbell spent the last season in Miami coaching their o-line and could do that with the Cowboys or he could replace John Garrett if he leaves for Miami.
Vic Fangio – Fangio was interviewed on Monday for the possible defensive co-ordinator position. Vic was defensive co-ordinator at Stanford with Jim Harbaugh and was thought to head to San Francisco when Harbaugh was hired there. Fangio has a ton of experience with stops in Indianapolis (DC), Houston (DC), Carolina (DC), Baltimore (LB), and New Orleans (LB). He brings a lot of knowledge and an aggressive system.
Eric Mangini – Mangini was let go as the head coach of the Cleveland Browns after they had a very disappointing season. Eric would be a great fit for the 3/4 system that Dallas employs. He is likely to get back into coaching and the defensive co-ordinator position might be his way back to restoring his coaching success.
Todd Bowles – Bowles interviewed for the Cowboys head coaching spot before losing out to Garrett. Bowles is currently the secondary coach in Miami but the Cowboys see a lot of potential in Bowles and the players really like him. He could be a candidate for the DC job.
Other Notables:
Mike Nolan – DC
Greg Manusky – DC
Dave Wannstedt – DC
Paul Pasqualoni – Permanent move to DC
While the carousel is likely to keep turning over the next little while, there are some of the rumors that we are hearing. There are a lot of really good coaches that may be looking to land a spot with the Cowboys.

Taking Marketing Campaign Integration a Step Further with Mobile CommerceCynthia Fedor
September 29, 2011 — 1,418 views
Mobile commerce is expected to reach $31 billion by the end of 2016 and grow at a rate of 40 percent each year for the next five years, according to a report published by Forrester Research. Although still in the very early stages of development, m-commerce is quickly becoming a reality.
Following are some examples of how brands are integrating m-commerce into the consumer experience:
SMS-Enabled Payment Systems
SMS-enabled payment systems are being tested by major consumer brands. Coca-Cola, for example, is currently testing the use of vending machines that accept payments via mobile device, eliminating the need to carry coins to make a purchase. With these machines, consumers can simply walk up and text in to buy a beverage. Consumers do not have to register or download an app to use this form of payment, and the cost of the beverage is charged to the consumer's mobile phone bill. The brand also benefits by using the SMS data to send special post-purchase offers to consumers, and therefore drive additional purchases. Head of Mobile Brand Strategy - Global Connections for The Coca-Cola Company, Doug Busk, explained, "What we're seeing in a couple of use cases is that this increases purchasing frequency... Any time you take friction out of the system, you increase frequency." In time, we'll see how far this application of text-to-purchase makes it into the mainstream.
Payment by SMS text is also now accepted and widely used by major non-profit organizations. Many charitable organizations, including the American Red Cross, Feed the Children, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, and United Way, have started to integrate text-to-give tactics as part of their fundraising campaigns. By texting a specific number or phrase to a short code, people are able to donate funds; the micro-donation is simply added to the donor's phone bill.
By launching a text-to-give campaign, the American Red Cross was able to raise around $22 million for Haiti relief-all within just two weeks of the massive 2010 earthquake.
Shopping via Mobile Applications
Mobile applications that allow consumers to initiate a purchase without leaving their current experience are popping up everywhere. Big brands from Starbucks and MasterCard to Pandora are trying to get a piece of the m-commerce pie early.
Starbucks, keeping up with its growing tech-savvy customer base, recently rolled out an application that lets customers pay for their beverages and other goods via their mobile device.
Thanks to a partnership with MasterCard, iPad users flipping the virtual pages of Wired Magazine's June 2011 issue-digital version, of course-will have the ability to simply tap the pages to browse and buy products directly from their tablet. Consumers can expect to see more interactive elements integrated into subsequent issues if the data proves the strategy to be profitable.
According to Apple, the Internet music service Pandora is the most frequently downloaded free iPad app. Other sources claim that it's among the most-used apps across all smart phone platforms. As a subscriber listens to a song, Pandora provides an opportunity to purchase that song from Amazon or through iTunes. The music doesn't stop playing in order to complete the purchase; the transaction is almost instant and the listening experience is fluid. Pandora also runs sponsored ads for other products and services between songs-all of which just require a tap on the screen to begin the shopping process.
QR Codes, Direct Mail and Print
Following the trend, traditional channels are evolving to promote instant action and/or purchase via mobile devices. The integration of digital technologies with direct mail and print channels is becoming more commonplace, resulting in heightened consumer expectations. Gift retailer, Brookstone, recently announced its plans to test QR codes in printed catalogs and in 30 of their retail stores to drive sales. QR codes positioned next to the products featured in their catalogs and retail displays would provide consumers with instant access to product information. Brookstone's hope is that the use of QR codes will lead to increased purchase activity.
Many retailers such as Target, Sears, Bergdorf Goodman, Bloomingdale's, and Neiman Marcus are also trying this new approach to engage consumers and give sales a boost. What this is demonstrating is that the new point of sale is anywhere and everywhere, thanks to mobile devices.
Using QR codes in concert with direct mail and print can provide more accurate campaign tracking and help to keep consumer data current. Additionally, integration of new technologies with traditional, tried-and-true media will give marketers the opportunity to collect more prospect data, intelligence about media preference, and more accurately plan future marketing initiatives.

McCormick & Schmick's Seafood & Steaks One E. Wacker Dr., Chicago,IL 60601, Restaurant: 312.923.7226 – www.mccormickandschmicks.com
Q-Tips say: Decent food, great drinks & service but overpriced. We did enjoy our drinks, service and our steaks, however we have had a better Wedge Salad. The side we chose, Baked Gruyere Potatoes, which we shared and the string beans on a bed of sauteed onions were different and delicious. We decided to eat in the bar and have a Happy Hour drink from the Bar Menu and eat there having the steak that is offered from the Dinner Menu. It seems "Happy Hour Drinks" only apply to the Bar Area Menu. Again, a decent meal but overpriced.

Syka is the Greek word for fig. And just this week the figs are getting to the grocery stores and better yet, the fruit stands. Yesterday I drove with Papou to Markoupoulo, a town near the Athens airport where most of the figs come from. (First we went to a farmers market on the way to get olive oil, homemade pasta and nuts — I found a Costco-sized bag of cashews for half the Costco price!) Papou likes one particular Syka man on a road outside of town next to a a temple dedicated to Artemis. They spent a minute negotiating and guessing each other's ages and then we bought a case of green royal beauties. They are sweet, bright red and incredibly delicious. He threw in a couple of black ones saying they're better than the green ones and that I'll come back next week asking for only black. Demetri says he's going to eat only figs in August, so this case should last us through tomorrow. Along with fig season comes grape season, and the peaches will be good for another month, much to my delight. And the karpuzi — watermelon — is in season through September.
Month: July 2017
Demetri attended a language class on Syros, the capital of the Cyclades this last week. The class was great — he was the only US citizen in the group — and he was out each day around 2 so he could do his homework and enjoy some of the island.
There is a bit of money on Syros and it's well populated — 22,000 or thereabouts, with most of the folks living in the city of Ermoupolis, named for Hermes, the wing-footed god of trade and business. It was the busiest and most important port in Greece for many years, even more so than Piraeus. There is also a great deal of culture in the city, including the pretty Apollo Opera House, modeled after La Scala in Milan. Demetri and his dad saw Madam Butterfly one night while we were here.
The kids, Sandy, Peter and I spent most of the days at the swimming pool at The Sunrise Beach Suites in the beach town of Azolimnos. In the evenings we enjoyed Ermopoulis and its pedestrian walkway streets, the Plateia Maniouli square, and the churches of Agios Nikolas (the patron Saint of sailors) and the hilltop Church of Resurrection.
Syros is different looking than other Cycladic islands. It has a lot of Venetian influence in the architecture, and the city of Ermoupoulis is almost all neo-classical architecture instead of the traditional Cycladic look (though there are lots of that for sure). Syros is the one island that was never occupied by the Turks — it was under Vatican protection for years and there is a strong catholic culture on the island. The Catholic Church (St. George) on the opposite hill of the orthodox Church of the Resurrection, has been destroyed and rebuilt FIVE TIMES on the same spot. Lighting hits the bell tower rather frequently.
Papou, the kids and I spent a morning in the medieval town of Ano Syros which is home to St. George, another Agios Nikolas (St. Nicholas) and winding narrow streets and a cafe with a spectacular view.
Our fabulous week came to an end with the arrival of the Naxos Blue Star Ferry, which took us back to Piraeus yesterday. Two weeks of island living was great and we're already planning our next trip! Rhodes is in the plan for August, maybe Kos and Patmos as well. More on that later.
Read anything good lately?
On the 6 hour ferry ride from Milos to Syros by way of Kimolos, Sifnos, Serifos & Kithnos, I finished The Full Catastrophe – Travels Among the New Greek Ruins by James Angelos, a journalist and former WSJ reporter. His book, titled after a line from the movie Zorba the Greek, describes the longstanding corruption in Greek politics and how it helped lead to the debt crisis, the dependence Greece has on Europe (Germany in particular) and the animosity for same. Angelos' writing is funny – particularly in his descriptions of the people he met and interviewed, and the book goes into depth on the changes in Greece that have emerged in the wake of "the crisis," as all Greeks call it, and not many of them are good. The chapters on immigration and nationalization are particularly fascinating. This is my 5th visit to Greece and this book explained much of what I've seen and not understood both politically and culturally. Angelos notes, and I completely agree, that Greece remains a must-visit country. The people are generous and kind, and the country is beautiful. The financial and political future, and whether Greece can enact profound political change and become more self sufficient is the question that Angelos raises. If you're at all interested in this topic, give this book a read. It was terrific.
I'm completely in love with this island. It has many interesting beaches, adorable towns, cool topography and a nice little port. Like Santorini, it's on a volcano, so the soil is rich and the rocks are a combination of frozen lava, volcano ash and red Sulphur. Our first day was very windy so we drove to Paleohori beach on the south side of the island where the wind wasn't as bad. There we found a great taverna on the beach with beach chairs and umbrellas. Sirocco, the restaurant, had a volcanic sand oven that cooked much of the taverna's food. The smell of Sulphur was strong in certain places, there were little hot springs under the sand (evidenced by a constant stream of little tiny bubbles under the water) and in certain places, if you stood too long, your feet would start burning. Michael was promoted to Deputy Safety Patrol Manager after a daring sea rescue when he thought Peter had drifted too far out on the inflatable turtle. I happened to agree with Michael and swam out to get Peter, when all of the sudden the turtle's flipper was ripped from my hands by a tiny blue-masked snorkeler with little tan feet. Because I was behind the turtle pushing it to shore, I never even saw Michael coming. I just saw his tan little feet paddling back with the turtle's other flippers firmly in his grasp. Peter, as usual, enjoyed the ride.
We took a nifty day-long catamaran trip around the island, as the most beautiful places to see are best by boat (and difficult by car). I was sure the kids would go overboard, but the captain assured me that in 22 years of sailing, it's never happened. We saw the ancient town of Klima, the rocks, caves and beach of Sarakiniko; the largest catacombs outside of Rome; 8 dolphins swimming around and under our boat, the famed pirate-haunted rocks and caves of Kleftiko beach, and a church on a mountain that marks where Aprhodite o Milos (Venus de Milo) was discovered. We anchored 4-5 times and jumped in to swim in water so clear you could see your feet dangling above the sea floor that was 20 feet down. Demetri swam through caves and tunnels.
Friday, we took a day trip by ferry to the island of Kimolos, a 25 minute ferry ride from Pollonia beach where we stayed, and spent the afternoon on the white sand Prassa ("chalk") beach, making sandcastles and climbing into rock forts.
We also spent lots of time in our beautiful house in Pollonia, where we could walk down the rocks and be in the water. One day the water was calm enough that we all tried the Stand Up Paddle board – even Peter – and we spent the rest of the afternoon and evening taking turns on it. Michael was a natural from the first moment he stepped on. I had a good teacher (Demetri) who told me how much I would fall the first time out and how to get off and on – and how to jump off when I did fall without having the paddle board equivalent of a skiing yard sale (which I did only once).
We toured the ancient theater and stadium which sit below the Venus de Milo discovery site and just above the ancient village of Klima. Michael and Demetri also went into the the catacombs – 200 graves and 6000 buried (my grandfather would say "ahhh, bunk beds.")
Each evening we enjoyed the cute strip of tsarotavernas (fish taverns) and psistariás (grill taverns) and found a favorite spot, Molos, with servers we befriended who brought us a drink of mastica and the kids a bowl of bubble gum ice cream after dinner. One kind server made sure to have us visit their sister restaurant (right next door) so we could eat the fresh red snapper that was being pulled off the boats.
Milos is one of the 'undiscovered' islands – not very built up, and no cruise ships yet. An article in Conde Nast Traveler earlier this spring spotlighted Milos and there were lots of Americans in the hotel (maybe the only traditional hotel in Pollonia) we stayed on our last night. Milos is beautiful. I can't wait to come back.
Friday Night Lights
We took our first jaunt into Athens proper tonight to see the Akropoli (Acropolis) with the full moon. We drive to the subway station in Glyfada and then take the train into the city. The Athens subway is beautiful – the 2004 Olympics infused a lot of money in to Greece's infrastructure and the subway stations in the old city were renovated to look like museums, with antiquities (friezes, pottery, sculpture) in glass cases in the stations. We walked along the theater, through Thesion where we stopped for dinner at a very hip rooftop place, and then decided to have dinner instead in Monasteraki where psistariás abound – some of which are more than 100 years old. (With two exhausted kids, this would be faster than a rooftop hipster joint, though I do want to go back there for mezetas!). It's an understatement to say the view did not disappoint.
We spent Sunday in Marathon (26.2 miles from Athens, naturally) with cousins Anna, Vasillis, Giorgos and Katerina (or as the boys call her, Baby Katerina). Giorgos is the same age as Michael and Katerina is almost 3, so not at all a baby, but … she was a baby when we met her and the boys needed a way to decipher Anna's mom Katerina from Anna's daughter Katerina. We swam at the beach in Marathon and then had dinner together. We all had a great day, maybe our best yet. We left early – 7 pm – to avoid the beach traffic that starts around 9. Early flight to Milos Monday!
Busy week visiting schools and getting infrastructure (read: wifi, telephone and balcony railings) into the apartment. We met our landlords, whose parents owned the apartment we're now renting. We also did practical things like buy laundry baskets, brooms and mops, nightlights, a coffee maker, etc. Clothes dryers aren't common so we hang laundry in the sun. It seems everyone has a utility/laundry porch here, just like we have laundry rooms in the US. We have slick little Miele appliances – a washing machine and the coolest three-rack dishwasher.
School visits were very interesting. We visited 2 Greek private international schools, where English is the primary foreign language (an hour a day of instruction) and 2 other schools, one American and one British, where the language instruction is the inverse. We've decided that Greek school will be the best way to immerse the kids in the culture and learn the language. Could be a bumpy ride at first … luckily we have Papou to help tutor us. We also bought picture books with letters and sounds at the toy store so we can start learning. Greek lessons can't come too soon for me – I mistakenly ordered a coffee "scato" when I should have said "sketo". After the bartender recovered from laughing, he explained that sketo is no sugar, while scato is 'um, shit.' I assured him that I did not want poop in my coffee, just milk and he told me to come back in an hour for more instruction. Maybe I'll stick to beer – they're just one word orders.
Spent several evenings in the Voula Plateia, or square, which the kids love. Papou bought them scooters so they can buzz around just like the scores of local kiddos. I don't know how crashes don't happen every five minutes with kids on bikes/scooters and waiters with huge trays walking from the restaurants to the outside tables, but I haven't seen one yet! The square is busy every night and Fridays and Saturdays are incredibly busy. The kids' (and probably mine too) favorite restaurants are the psistariás, or grill restaurants, which serve pork or chicken kalamaki (bamboo skewers) and kebabs (a long skinny spiced meatloaf). They have other things too – salads, horta (boiled greens with lemon and olive oil – completely wonderful), gyros. French fries abound. I convinced myself that the fries must be cooked in olive oil, this is Greece for goodness sake, thereby making them healthy, and then I saw a gallon of corn oil. Sigh.
Voula and its neighbors – Glyfada, Vouliagmeni, Varkaza – are the closest beaches to Athens so lots of city residents flock to the area on the weekends. Dance clubs abound and on weekend nights you can hear the beat of the music and see the spotlights. There are also lots of beach 'clubs' where you pay a fee to get in and you get 2 chairs and an umbrella. We went to the beach in front of a place called Balux, a club/restaurant/bar set up like a house with tons of different rooms. No beachwear allowed inside; nice clothes only, parakalo.
A Nobu by any other name is just as sweet
Demetri and I were married 12 years ago today. The heat has been fierce the last few days — 39, 41, 43 degrees (98-103 Farenheit!) The 'sea' as the Greeks call it, is at the end of our street, so today we grabbed goggles, towels and shoes and walked right down. The water is already so warm that you're glad for the pockets of cool water that find you every so often. We swam for a while, found some shade under a tree and then walked home. Cousin Theodoris came to visit for a while, and Papou and Sandy offered to babysit the boys tonight – they walked to the square for dinner and ice cream. First, however, Papou drove us on our date; very reminiscent of a high school dance. Demetri and I had a really lovely dinner at Matsuhisa Athens, which lucky for us is not in Athens, but rather in Vouliagmeni, the next town over and about 10 minutes away. It opened earlier this Spring. The restaurant sits on the water and the cocktail special was a watermelon martini – perfect for a day when you honestly believe you're melting right where you stand. We tried a bit of everything including the signature black cod with miso – a recipe that appears in a lot of magazines and on a lot of menus, but if I understood right, was invented by Nobu Matsuhisa himself.
Twelve years has gone by in the blink of an eye. We first came to Greece together in 2006 for a delayed honeymoon. While I imagined all kinds of adventures when we were first engaged and planning our life together, I could have never imagined that we'd be doing something like this. Demetri is the smartest, funniest, most intentional person I know. Everything he does is in the name of our family and we all owe this grand (the grandest!) adventure to him.

Keep in mind that you get to choose what you say and what you do; allow others to get to have their own opportunities to come to grips with what's happening in your life. No need for a sugar-coating; honesty, without whining, criticism or judgement, seems to be the best idea to me.
Sending love and prayers your way.

Eaton Corporation did not have a way to effectively and efficiently test electronic clutch actuators (ECA) returned under warranty to their truck division in Galesburg, Michigan. An ECA is the component that engages and disengages the clutch of an automated transmission truck. As a senior design project, our team was asked by Eaton to design and build a test stand able to test the functionality of ECA's returned under warranty.
The project consisted of three phases. First, we created a design and picked out all the necessary components for the test stand. Testing was performed for proof of concept and to determine sizing information for some of the components. The second phase was building the test stand. This involved having a fixture manufactured, and then the assembling and wiring of the test stand. In the final phase, a testing program was created in LabVIEW that controls the system and determines if an ECA meets performance requirements.
The test sequences that the stand performs include: testing for fatal faults, communicating with the ECA, retrieving onboard data, testing the electronic speed input and analog voltage input, checking the response time, and testing the holding capability and torque output. Pass or fail testing is indicated by a green or red light on the computer screen.
The design team successfully created a test stand that meets all of the updated requirements. Total cycle time for the test is approximately one and a half minutes to test an ECA. The stand was built $25,000 under budget and has been presented to Eaton in complete working order.

One year ago today I brought Anna home from a local shelter up in the Santa Monica mountains. I saw her in Petfinder when it I was ready to look for a new cat after Julie's death. She was sitting outside next to a pretty flower bush and had a sad story of abandonment by her owners, first to abuse by a young kid and then the loss of her home.
The shelter does what it can, but it is an outbuilding with an outdoor annex housing many cats. When I was visiting I found Anna next to that same bush, and given a chance she went back to that same bush.
She was very happy in her little room, twitchy about being petted in the wrong way and not keen about being picked up. She likes being pet more now, but still is grumpy about being manhandled.
She was a bit underweight, and her fur was a bit thin and dull. Meals without disturbance made a big difference there over the months, and now she has an even more pretty coat. Of course, she has gone from under to overweight so we need to take some steps. She's getting more wet food than in the last few months and will have the dry supply cut back considerably. Already it seems like she's eating little of the dry and finishing up her half of a little can of wet food. This is about half of what Julie and Gus would get in a meal.
Anna was restricted to her room for a while because of some parasites she had, and soon after those were cleared up she needed some dental surgery. She started to come out of her room for a while and sleep in other locations upstairs, like my walk-in-closet and bathroom. But as the kittens started to lose their wariness of her, their curiosity began to take over and they would creep closer to her spots. The layout of my house meant that she would have to pass by the kittens to get back to her room, which made her increasingly nervous.
Anna's history has led to her having a lot of bad habits with people and with other cats. She tends to lash out quickly, but then doesn't back it up. Rhea in particular soon figured this out and began to seek her out and provoke a confrontation that Anna always loses. Anna decided that her room was large enough. She even became more anxious when Harrison joined the family, even though he never came into her sight for some time.
So for now, Anna is happy in her little bedroom, so much larger than her little flowered bush in the shelter. When I go to visit her she often has a cheerful greeting for me and likes a little bit of petting. After a while she gets anxious about the cats at the door, sometimes real, sometimes imaginary. She has what she needs now.

davev replied to Pikemaster101's topic in Open WaterPikemaster, If you do a search in this forum for the "Minkota remote" on all forums, you should find a lot of discussion about it. Having said that, I would not be without my autopilot with a remote (co-pilot). I use the autopilot feature to stay on course along a shoreline while I am casting. The wind can still be a problem, though. Into the wind works better than with the wind. The co-pilot works well for me when I am lindy-rigging along a contour. I sit in the back of the boat and watch the sonar. Remote in my right hand and pole in my left hand. For vertical jigging, nothing works better for me than a foot control, since I am standing up and jigging with two poles (or one).
Electronics choice?
davev replied to jammer01's topic in Open WaterJammer Another vote for Lowrance. Their new color units are awesome even in the sun. I can see my bowmount 100C from the back of the boat.
muskies in the prop wash
davev replied to delmuts's topic in Muskies-Musky FishingIn Michigan, they talk about fishing for muskies in the propwash of freighters on the Detroit River. I never tried it though.
Guided Muskie Fishing
davev replied to FishingwithJake's topic in Muskies-Musky FishingI will second RK's compliments and recommendations for Vermillion. I spent two days with MuskiTom and my two boys in 2003. What a blast!! Hang on to your hat when you are riding with Tom. Jake and Nick("Nip") have been talking about going back there every time we mention Fishing Vacations. Why don't you take your buddies to the "Musky School" and get the benefit of 4 guides. We are seriously considering it.
General question

Sioux Narrows Mid August?
davev posted a topic in Canada Ice Fishing Reports - HuntingIt's looking like I can get up to the Sioux Narrows area in Mid August! I've fished in Morson area in June before. Is there anything different about walleye fishing in this area? I hope to stay at the Tomahawk RV Park. Is this a good choice?
Favorite Bird
davev replied to B-bear's topic in Open WaterNo question about it. LOON Why? Because then I know that I am fishing in Minnesota and not at work in Michigan.

- 1926 was the first year of production for Pontiac.
- The radiator cap features Chief Pontiac and the car was advertised as the "Chief of the Sixes" (six cylinders).
- Pontiac was produced by Oakland, a division of GM.
- The Oakland name was dropped in 1932 when Pontiac became a division of GM.
The Oakland, predecessor car to the Pontiac, was first produced in 1908 by the Oakland Motor Company, a division of General Motors. The Oakland began as a 2-cylinder car, and then 4-, 6-, and 8-cylinder engines were offered.
In 1926, Oakland's Pontiac Six was introduced, intended as a lower-priced model selling for $825. The Pontiac was offered in two body types, a five passenger coach and a two passenger coupe. The radiator cap represented Chief Pontiac and sales literature and advertising proclaimed Pontiac as "Chief of the Sixes." The model enjoyed immediate success as more than 140,000 cars were sold by 1927 and more than 200,000 in 1928.
In 1932, the name Oakland was dropped in favor of Pontiac, at which time Pontiac became a division of General Motors.

What Is Low-Residency?
Low-residency is an educational model that might be better described as intensive residency.
Our students come to campus once or twice a year for intense and invigorating residencies of 5-14 days. These residencies are packed with workshops, lectures, discussions, critiques, exhibitions, performances, and more. Students and faculty share meals and find many other opportunities for informal exchange and community building outside of formal academic events.
Students then continue their studies back at home, working one-on-one with a faculty advisor throughout the semester. Not to be confused with an online degree, our programs build a thriving community that enriches artists' lives, helping them develop and sustain a professional level of artistic practice. The low-residency structure mirrors the lives of working artists in the professional world in a model that is ideally suited to developing each student's distinctive voice.
Unlike the traditional model where you must relocate to a new city or limit your graduate options to the city where you already reside, the low-residency structure works with your life as it is. You don't have to change your job, family responsibilities, and community involvement to earn your MFA or MA through one of VCFA's rigorous and contemporary programs.

The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission (EFCC) has arrested Abdulgafar Ayinla, a lawmaker-elect from Kwara state, over his alleged involvement in property scam, forgery and obtaining money under false pretence to tune of about N26 million.
The EFCC said in a statement on Thursday, May 16, that Ayinla, who is expected to be sworn-in on May 29, 2019, confessed to committing the crime and disclosed that he used the money to finance his political campaigns.
The statement said the petitioner who resides in the United State of America alleged that Ayinla, who is a legal practitioner, was introduced to her by her late aunt as capable of helping her purchase some properties in Ilorin, the Kwara state capital.
According to her, "The lawmaker-elect sold to me another two plots of land with four bedroom bungalow at window level at Agric area of Ilorin.
"I paid N8,240, 000 commission of which Ayinla informed me that the seller had received his money but he never paid the money to the seller up till today, and never refunded the money to me."
The EFCC said the suspect disclosed that he diverted the money to his personal use and promised to pay back when he receives his wardrobe allowance from the Kwara state House of Assembly.
The anti-graft agency said he would soon be charged to court.

City of Wabasha Sends New Lower Pool 4 Dredge Plan to USACE
The City of Wabasha and the Wabasha Port Authority last week sent a new dredge material management plan (DMMP) for Lower Pool 4 to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE).
According to an official announcement, this proposal is responsive to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) entered into by the city and USACE on June 5, 2018, and has the following key benefits:
- It serves a realistic least-cost dredge material disposal alternative consistent with federal law, USACE regulations, and previous section 217(d) agreements entered into by USACE throughout the Country;
- It would eliminate USACE's need to use the controversial South Side Fitzgerald, Drysdale and Drysdale Farms sites as permanent dredge material transfer and/or placement sites;
- It serves as the basis for a long-term least-cost plan for managing dredged material in Lower Pool 4 that is supported and could be sustained by the City/WPA in partnership with USACE and the United States Congress.
The 20-year DMMP as proposed relies upon dredge material transfer/placement alternatives generally consistent with the most recent discussions with USACE and would be implemented using a phased approach; phase 1 of the plan would be implemented through the first 10 year section 271(d) agreement, and phase 2, which could be implemented by a renewed section 217(d) agreement, would be identified for future implementation in the DMMP.
