If there's one thing the corporate mainstream media loves, it's a good story. And by good story I mean sensational. And by sensational, I mean fear mongering.
We have seen this as a baseline for the vast majority of mainstream reporting on the actions, events and demonstrations planned for the week of resistance to the G8/G20 in Toronto. Thousands of people will gather on the streets of Hogtown this week to demonstrate against the undemocratic nature of these unaccountable world bodies, as well as their role in proliterating war and deepening poverty. Standard fare coverage seems to include a mandatory reference to "violence" "anarchists" and "protesters", which are apparently considered equivalent. I have found the confusion over the goals and purpose of those challenging the legitimacy of the G8/20, those thousands of regular folks lumped in to the uninformative category of "protester," to be widespread.
Since when did exercising our democratic rights to free speech, including political dissent, to freedom of association and freedom of assembly automatically translate into a threat, a radical anarchist? The threat, of course is real. But it is not a threat to the safety of the general public, as is constantly intoned by the corporate media. The threat presented by political agitation is to the status quo, to "business as usual," to the governing elite who are, arguably, out of touch with the average citizen.
Why is exercising citizenship and practicing democracy (participating in the political process) now automatically associated with violent, dangerous, *gasp* anarchist behaviour? The idea of democracy being limited to voting day is ludicrous and reflects the sorry state of things, even in prosperous, "first world" countries like Canada.
And what is a radical anarchist anyway? The Hamilton Spectator offered a refreshing take on this hackneyed story, offering this portrait of the typical anarchist opposed to the G8/G20: a doctoral student at McMaster University, a husband and father of one young child.
Yesterday in my Facebook newsfeed I saw an exchange on the wall of a well known Detroit deejay, an old friend from my Windsor days. Ignoring the racist and misogynist overtones, the exchange perpetuated the tired, ill-informed stereotypes of global justice activists, including that protesters are dirty, long-haired, patchouli-wearing, unemployed drains on society. More offensive and more disturbing are the incorrect assumptions, perpetuated by the corporate media, that "protesters" are ill-informed of the issues they "purport" to be challenging, and that they attend actions because they are "bored", spoiled, randomly "anti-American," or "for kicks." This is closely related to the common (and by common I mean base) sentiment that if people weren't "threatening violence" there wouldn't be a need for the militarization of Canada's biggest city.
In fact the inverse is true. The fence is a symbol of violence and an invitation to members of democratic societies everywhere to tear down. The fence encapsulates all that is wrong with the G8/20: unaccountable (because self-appointed), unrepresentative and therefore illegitimate supranational bodies that decree and enforce economic policies that harm communities and the environment that sustains us all while increasing profits for corporations that are by and large self-regulating and unaccountable.
There is a need to justify the outrageous $1 billion security budget. There is a need to deflect all the attention away from the highly problematic (and by problematic I mean impoverishing, life threatening) economic policies of the G8/G20. There is a need to demonize protesters and criminalize dissent. This is achieved by parading the bogeyman of the "dangerous radical anarchist protester" across every corporate media outlet, repeatedly referring to the corporate property damage of an extremely small minority of demonstrators (fringe elements who in any case cannot being positively associated with the global justice movement/s) at major street demos. It is done by police making preemptive arrests of known movement "leaders"—even better if its in a dramatic raid, and laying inflammatory and bogus charges. These are usually dropped, well after the frightening story has spread like wildfire through the public imaginary via the only too obliging corporate media.
Another uncritical assumption around diversity of tactics needs to be challenged. The refusal of groups like the Toronto Community Mobilization Network to condemn property damage (often confused with "violence"). There is rarely an examination or understanding of the daily violence that millions of people around the world live under, violence in the form of poverty and starvation, displacement and environmental devastation.
There is a further need to question what is meant by violence. Typically, the corporate media are referring to "property damage" when they discuss the behaviour of activists in massive street demonstrations, at least in the North American context. The tens of thousands who demonstrated against Free Trade Area of the Americas Summit in Quebec City in 2001 were "non-violent." A small handful of participants in the action – maybe Black Bloc anarchists, maybe fringe elements with no affiliation with global justice activism, vandalized corporate property, and engaged in a street fight with police, responding to their aggressive advances by creating barricades with street "furniture," returning tear gas canisters and throwing rocks and molotov cocktails at police lines. This is in *no way* characteristic of the global justice movement, nor of its core values or tactics… That some in the movement won't condemn property does not negate the movement's legitimacy.
Let's examine this notion of "violence" further. What or who is harmed? A Starbucks window? Some concrete sidewalk? Maybe some other property owned by corporations that wreak havoc in lesser "developed" nations…? Who feels the physical effects of violence. Protesters being mocked, beaten, tear gassed, and pepper sprayed by police during actions certainly do. Activists present during the raid of the convergence centre at the G8 summit in Genoa in 2001 certainly did. That vicious event resulted in the severe beating of 60 people, three of whom, including British journalist Mark Covell, were put into comas. The walls of the centre were literally covered in blood and one officer officer described police as "beating youths like wild beasts." The 27th G8 Summit in Genoa is perhaps worst remembered for the death of activist Carlo Guiliani, who was shot at point blank range by police and run over.
What about in Europe, where the memory of fascism is fresh, or in still-developing countries, where oppressive, undemocratic governments are a reality? Or in nations darkened by the long shadow of colonialism, still under the thumb of first-world resource extraction? In this context, where democracy fails, violence remains a legitimate recourse—perhaps the only one. Day 3 of Submedia's Rebellion Reporting has a nice bit about this:
I wonder what those who condemn violence as an academic or rhetorical exercise, or to justify the increasing militarization of democratic society, would do if they did not live in the highly privileged society that we do, one that enjoys the fruits of earlier violence, such as genocide against first nations, and civil war against colonial rule and slavery.
Finally I need to address the misguided notion that some in the corporate press and elsewhere have about community organizers and activists opposed to the G8/G20 as: "demonstrating for the media" (as one CBC journo put it to me). Marcus Gee was more blunt, if completely incorrect:
The fact is that activists find the violent fringe useful. Violence draws television cameras – if it bleeds, it leads – and cameras draw attention to the struggle. Activist leaders may not throw bricks themselves, but many will be quite content if others do. And when it happens, you can be sure they will blame the violence entirely on the police. To sock the copper and cry police brutality when he hits back is the oldest trick in the book.
First of all, I'd seriously question how Gee know this "fact." Sounds completely like opinion to me. But then, the corporate media don't have much problem parading personal opinion as "fact." Secondly, it's the corporate journos who are the ambulance chasers – demonstrators don't have to anything to get their attention. "If it bleeds it leads" is the mantra of the press, not activists! Gee is a bit confused. Finally, I don't know any "activist leaders" (c'mon corporate press, how many times do we need to remind you there are no leaders in the global justice movement…?). I also don't know any dedicated community organizers who are "quite content" when others throw bricks or engage in more extreme tactics. Activists tend to respect a diversity of tactics because we don't tell people what to do. That's the job of law enforcement, and pseudo-democratic states. Activists don't need the press. And certainly, not the press that misrepresents their objectives and intentions, and ignores the issues that motivate their activism. So as far as courting the corporate media, all I can say is: you wish.
Indepth and enlightening!
Thank you!
Keep them coming and give em hell this weekend gurl!

Your argument is tu quoque.
In Detroit this week, there are over 20,000 activists gathered at USSF to discuss important global and local issues. Free Speech TV, a non-corporate non-profit television station, has been covering it all week. Here's Thursday night's (6/24) ceremony with keynote speaker, activists and organizations. Focusing on militarization & war, immigration and displacement, the economic, ecological and political crisis and how to build on opportunities of convergence.
Hard to find real info on what's happening in Toronto. The mainstream media narrative is absurdly coherently co-ordinated, against activists. Thanks for the good work.

Icelanders Are Converting To A Unique Religion, To Make Money
Religion has evolved a hell of a lot over the centuries and in the modern day there's some pretty fucked up beliefs out there…
From The Church of The Flying Spaghetti Monster, where people wear colanders on their heads or even the bizarre pull of Scientology for A-listers there's no doubt the world's spiritual path continues to diversify.
But it seems Iceland are now setting a brand new religious path of their own. At the start of 2015, only three Icelanders belonged to obscure religion, Zuism.
Incredibly, it's seen a massive rise in fortunes and has now reached around 3,000 members- that's around 1 per cent of the country's entire population according to Iceland Magazine.
To put this into perspective, the group now has significantly more members than the Muslim Association.
You're probably wondering, why has everyone decided to worship the Gods of the ancient Sumerian religion. Adoring the likes of An, Ki, Enlil and Enki responsible for heaven, Earth, sky and water.
Well, to avoid taxes of course. Specifically, sóknargjöld- a type of religious tax which not many islanders are a big fan of.
The Icelandic Constitution recognizes the Evangelical Lutheran Church as its state religion, followed by three quarters of the population and funded by public money.
The country's freedom of worship law says that Icelanders are allowed to belong to a selection of 40 churches – recognized by the state – meaning that the religious tax will be given back to the church of their choice.
But if you're an atheist your footed with the bill of around 80 euros a year to finance them.
Non-believers are now converting to Zuism in protest against this ridiculous system, which was recognized in 2013.
On the Iceland Zuist website they're not exactly covering up their true intentions…
The organization's primary objective is that the government repeal any law that grants religious organizations privilege, financial or otherwise, above other organizations. Furthermore Zuists demand that the government's registry of its citizens' religion will be abolished.
The religious organisation has also stated that all the money it will make from taxes – which Icelandic site Visir believes will be more than 200,000 euros – will be paid back equally to its members.
They're hopeful that the state will remove the unpopular law and then the group would simply dissolve.
Speaking to The Guardian, the Icelandic Zuist spokesperson Sveinn Thorhallsson states said: But the real question is, what is a true religious organization and how do you measure belief?"
Good point. It's a bat-shit crazy law anyway…

Wendy's and McDonald's are once again competing for customers. The most recent efforts have centered around luring customers into installing their mobile apps. Wendy's has been giving away free burgers to help promote use of their mobile app and now they're using giveaways to promote both the app and their new Harvest Chicken Salad (read more here). Until October 7, customers can get a coupon for a free half-size salad if they download the Wendy's app.
Given students' propensity for free food this may be a good discussion on a number of fronts. This can fit into promotions, new product introduction, and even a pricing discussion if you want to talk about the impact of cannibalism on a product portfolio or have students calculate the number of return trips necessary for Wendy's to break-even on the promotion.

What we are eating and – additionally – how much of it we are eating is big news right now.
It's certainly big news in this house where, with just 2 weeks to go before I swan off to celebrate my 60th birthday in Sri Lanka, I decided that unless I wished to be mistaken for Moby Dick washed up on a tropical beach, then losing a few of my excess pounds might be a good idea. No problem, help yourself – I have plenty of those excess pounds to spare, unfortunately.
I know that, to some extent, the predilection for stacking on weight is about one's genetic make-up. Both my parents tended to be slightly or moderately overweight for most of their adult lives and to some extent this was about their body shape, which inclined toward short and stocky rather than svelte and slim. Not surprisingly, I have picked up these genetic markers and have probably been slowly piling on the pounds since my early 40's.
My folks were also 'foodies' – they approached mealtimes with considerable gusto well into their seventies. My Mum was a pretty accomplished cook of the traditional English type and, unfortunately, derived far too much of her self-esteem from what she put on the table. In later years, with money a bit more plentiful, they took to eating out a bit more often and would frequently regale us with tales of meals they had recently eaten whilst on holiday in Cornwall or France, even whilst in the midst of consuming a meal in this house.
Not that this offended me, you understand; both of my folks were always very complimentary about my cooking, which – to be honest – has become lazier and more uninspired as the years pass. However, this ability to enthuse endlessly about meals already eaten was not lost on the Princess who grew up – perhaps unsurprisingly – to undergo an 'eating disorder' phase in her mid-teens. The two issues may not be connected, but I suspect that they are….
Giving up smoking a while back also accelerated this whole process; after all we all know about the compulsive oral aspects of sticking a cigarette in your mouth and once you stop that, food tends to take over and on go the pounds.
The other issue is probably lifestyle. I do a reasonable amount of walking as a non-driver – that's walking, not hiking – but have nonetheless became too sedentary for anyone's comfort, least of all my own.
So, all in all, not a great recipe (so to speak) and I have slowly ballooned up to Zeppelin proportions over the last 12 months. Finally, the penny dropped and I realised that the 'I've quit smoking and now I'm fat but this will pass' mentality was just another example of false consciousness.
The real situation is that gaining weight is not a corollary of stopping smoking but is, in fact, another manifestation of the same thing – in other words, my erstwhile and lifelong tendency to eat, drink, smoke and ingest whatever I wanted to, in whatever quantity suited me, without having to particularly cope with any adverse consequences. That ship, like the one containing my carefree youth, is now hull down over the horizon and vanishing fast. Bottom line: I just can't live like that any more if I want to live much longer at all.
So, how to deal with this new and unpalatable set of circumstances? Well, if I tell you that I live with a partner who is obsessed with her appearance in general and her weight in particular, you can probably guess that there was no shortage of advice on offer. Trouble is, though, I'm not a Weight Watchers joiner or a calorie counting obsessive – it just won't happen, no matter how many photocopied articles from mid-market tabloids shrieking about 'New Year, New You!' or 'Try our new Miracle Diet!' are left lying around for me to read. Just not going to happen, I'm afraid.
Monitored by the Princess, I initially tried to be more judicious and make healthier choices about what I was eating and not to snack between meals. I also tried to build in a 30-minute walk every day, but it just wasn't working. I was still taking on board too many calories for my lifestyle and my weight was such that even a short walk was playing havoc with my knees and lower back. It got to the point where even getting dressed in the morning was a major effort and with a short walk to the local High Street now often leaving me wrecked, I could see the horizons of my world closing in. This must be how it happens, I thought; before you know it, you're housebound and can only get somewhere in a cab or when somebody offers you a lift.
So, about a week ago, I just decided on a radical solution which so far seems to be producing promising results. I have simply stopped eating during the day and now just eat an evening meal. I drink juice and coffee during the day and have been known to scarf down the odd tomato as I pass the bowl, but no solids really.It's hard, of course; not as hard as quitting smoking but still pretty difficult. The rewards after a week seem to be that I simply feel 'better' in a vague and undefined manner, walking around is easier, my clothes don't pinch so much and I have actually lost the best part of a stone. My aim is to take to the beaches of Sri Lanka in a fortnight or so as a moderately walrus-sized obstacle rather than a genuine shipping hazard.
Strangely, all of this personal angst and re-assessment is going on at a time when the Government is telling us that we are in the midst of an obesity epidemic. We also seem to be eating quite a lot of horse-meat, apparently, which is blowing a lot of people's 'My Little Pony' dreams out of the water. I seem to recall eating minced horse-meat a couple of times in Sweden in the 70's and my recollection is that it was like a slightly more intensely flavoured version of ground beef. Back then, I think the Swedes also sold a version of 'biltong' – wind-dried horse-meat in chewable strips. Yum!
I think my appreciation of life's ironies only grows more substantial as I grow older (and larger). So it is that I find myself more than a little amused by the fact that it is at this very juncture of my life that I have discovered the joys of a TV show called 'Man versus Food', which is shown on cable over here and is a great favourite with the Princess and many of her friends. The name of the programme kind of encapsulates my current predicament whilst the content is the kind of stuff which will – for better or worse – always be beyond me.
The leading light of 'MvF' was Adam Richman, a genial actor from Brooklyn in his late 30's who between 2008 and 2010 travelled around the USA, seeking out local culinary specialities and the diners, bars, cafés and restaurants that serve them. These places often come up with ludicrous 'challenges' that speak directly to the competitive drive of Americans. Typically, people are required to consume insane quantities of the local 'delicacy', often within a time limit. The reward for those attempting (and succeeding in) these challenges is often nothing more than getting their meal free or getting their name on a 'Wall of Fame' in the restaurant or perhaps a t-shirt (usually XXXL) that promotes the establishment in question.
In a typical episode, Adam and the 'MvF' crew will descend on an American city having previously researched the local delicacies. Adam will visit a couple of places to try out said local delicacies before the main event, where he visits a place specialising in one of these deranged food challenges. He starts in the kitchen to chat with the owner/proprietor or manager, finding out how the local speciality is cooked/assembled. He then goes out front and takes on one of these 'challenges' in front of a crowd of hooting shrieking locals who cheer him on like they were at a baseball game.
Adam Richman attacks another ludicrous plateful in 'Man vs Food'
For example, the show I watched most recently saw Adam up in Portland, Maine, trying out one of Maine's famous Lobster Shacks before moving on to a burger joint that specialised in a ziggurat of a burger with 8 beef patties, foie gras and grilled pork belly slices, bookended by a bun and pinned through with a long wooden skewer to keep it all together. Surprisingly, that was not the (ahem) 'Maine Event'. That turned out to be a giant 6-pound plateful of frittata with potatoes, onions, pepperoni, bacon, broccoli and cheese, all bound together by 4 eggs. It's a bit of a blur now, but I seem to recall that the challenge was to take this lot down in 20 minutes or less; then again, I could be mistaken, but it's hardly important. The main point of the show is that we get to gawp at the colossal burgers, steaks and plates of barbecue served up to ordinary Americans on a regular basis. All of this is mediated by our engaging host Adam, who as he says in the show's intro is 'an ordinary guy with a serious appetite'. Certainly, he can boast a high success rate in terms of defeating these challenges and can certainly put away huge quantities of food.
On the other hand, my experience of the USA, whilst limited to New York City should have taught me that what goes on in 'Man versus Food' is hardly unique to that show. I can remember one of my first 'eating out' experiences at an Italian restaurant in The Bronx where I ordered an Escalope Milanese – generally a thin escalope of veal, dipped in a mixture of seasoned breadcrumbs and egg, then swiftly pan-fried. My dish arrived in a rectangular cast-iron dish, about 18 inches long, 6 inches wide and 4 inches deep. The majority of it was filled with a mixture of fried Mediterranean vegetables (tomatoes, capsicums, onions, aubergine etc), on top of which were perched 3 colossal Veal Escalopes, each one beaten to a thin, irregular disc about the size of a standard dinner plate. Just in case I was peckish, I got a huge pot of garlicky sautéd potatoes as well. In Europe, this lot would have fed 3 hungry adults but this was mine, all mine. It was indeed delicious, but my pleasure was diminished by the fact that I could only eat about half of what was on offer – and had to push myself to the limit in order to achieve that much. This was hardly an unusual experience in New York and among the locals, there does seem to be the expectation that if you go out to eat, the 'calibre' of your meal is, to a considerable extent, determined by the size of the portions.
Thankfully, living here, I don't really have to suffer the temptation of American Diner food, though the ubiquitous Birmingham Curries are something I'm having to limit. Of course, there will be plenty of curry in Sri Lanka as well, but just as much fresh fruit.
Sri Lankan Crab Curry
However, even once I return from my 60th birthday expedition, I am going to need to be judicious about what and how much I'm eating and that is something that I'll simply have to put up with from now on. Just another of the delights of growing older…

Brookshaw, Richard (DNB00)
BROOKSHAW, RICHARD (fl. 1804), mezzotint engraver, was for some years chiefly employed at low remuneration in engraving reduced copies from popular prints by MacArdell, Watson, and others; then going to Paris he established himself in the 'Rue de Tournon, vis-à-vis l'Hôtel de Nivernois, chez le Bourrelier,' and in 1773 published a pair of portraits of the dauphin, afterwards Louis XVI, and Marie-Antoinette. These proved so popular that Brookshaw made at least five repetitions of them of different sizes. His talents were highly appreciated in France, and during his residence there he produced some excellent plates, which are now scarce. Whether he returned, at any time, to England is not known, neither is the place or date of his death; the latest record of him are some plates in the 'Pomona Britannica,' published in 1804. His best works published in France were the above-mentioned portraits, and those of the Duke of Orleans, the Countess d'Artois, and the Countess de Provence. Among those engraved in England are 'Christ on the Cross,' after A. van Dyck (1771); 'Thunderstorm at Sea,' after H. Kobell (1770); 'The Jovial Gamesters,' after A. van Ostade; portraits of Miss Greenfield (1767) and Miss Emma Crewe and her sister, after Sir Joshua Reynolds.

Like David, I feel God's call on my life. I know he has created me for a purpose and has given me dreams to pursue in the way of both life and business. But several things have come up this week that look like roadblocks and game changers for my plans. Now, the long way, the hard way, the way that looks like it goes the opposite direction from where initially thought, causes me to panic and question.
Forgetting God's faithfulness in my past has brought me exactly to this point, my immediate reaction is to run and hide. Conflict is hard. Crucial conversations are agonizingly difficult. Identifying poor mechanics and calling lack of strength to light is excruciatingly embarrassing. Even just stepping back to reevaluate and reroute feels like failure. When I forget how he uses everything for good, I doubt how this new circumstance can turn out in anything other than adversity.
Forgetting God's provision for the present, I start grasping in panic for everything I can do to change and control what happens next, just like David eating the representation of God's faithfulness to his people as a common, daily meal. I run through a mental inventory of everything around me that can help. In that, I find myself reacting out of fear instead of trust in God. God's provision and presence are here with me right now. I partake of it daily. Everything around me is a testament to his faithfulness – even when I'm desperately looking for a place to hide.
Forgetting God's control of the future, I beg for the instant fix – or at least the relatively soon fix. I want to put in that good day's work, or maybe even a hard week of intentionality. And then I want the results. I don't want to work and wait for six months or six years. I don't want the answer to my latest question or prayer to be "keep praying and keep working". I want immediate answers and immediate resolutions. I want God to change and grow me, but I want it to be one and done and moving on.
What it all comes down to is the fundamental sin of not esteeming God as God. God's 'no' or even silence translates in my head to he can't (not omnipotent) or he won't (not perfect and good). In both these reactions, I place my own intellect, ability to reason, and foresight above his omniscience. And that is a truly terrifying place to find myself. My track record of perfection is nonexistent while God's stretches into eternity.
What is the solution then? What is the next little step? It's the deliberate, daily progression of submission and growth and the building of routine and discipline. It's the long lean into God's constant faithfulness and provision. I must spill my circumstances out of my tightly clutched and anxious arms and inquire of the Lord. Looking back, I see how He has unerringly corrects my character and my path compassionately and slowly through each circumstance as I submit to Him.
This week is just another reminder that I've never been in control – even with my best-laid plans. "And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose." (Rom 8:28)
His Word is living and active and in inquiring of Him it speaks just to where I find myself. "So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison, as we look not to the things that are seen but to the things that are unseen. For the things that are seen are transient, but the things that are unseen are eternal." (1 Cor 4:16-18) And as simply as that, I feel the peace that transcends all understanding flood over me. In Christ, I live and move and have my being. In Christ, I am secure. As I submit, he guides my way.

Lemon cats & grape kangaroos – an interview with Alex Brightsmith & KJ Collard
That talented pair Alex Brightsmith and KJ Collard both make a guest appearance in my latest book (that one on the right there). I asked them about all sorts of shizz.
When did you start writing?
AB: I think perhaps I've always told myself stories when I might otherwise have been bored, particularly when I couldn't sleep (I've always been a night owl, and I used to have a pretty rigidly enforced bed time). From my teens onwards I'd try to write a novel now and then, but I was fairly easily distracted until I had an idea for a series of short stories for one of the protagonists I'd toyed with most often. I finally gave her a regular antagonist and started writing outlines for the series, and one of them took off like a rocket and became Black Knight (The Novel That No One Will Ever See – not in anything like its current form, anyway).
Whilst I was wondering what to do with it I went back to the first outline, and it became Viennese Waltz – although only after a long period in the back of the cupboard when I thought that it was just an itch I'd successfully scratched. It still has one line in it that's only there to support a scene in Black Knight, but I'm not telling you which one.
KJC: Story telling just seems like something I've done all my life. I remember a writing project in sixth grade (approx. age 11) that I enjoyed. But I think my real passion for writing started with a creative writing class I took in high school. My teacher said I would be published some day. I'm thankful to have benefited from her encouragement.
Do you write to a schedule, or as and when the mood strikes?
AB: I'm terribly decadent in my writing habits, and that's how it's likely to stay. I know just how slim the chances are of making a living at this game, and for me the risk of turning writing into a chore is one I'm not willing to take on those odds.
KJC: It's definitely a free-for-all. I've tried to have a schedule, but if characters just aren't willing to talk to me, it reflected in my writing.
What 3 things are guaranteed to make you smile?
AB: Smelling my honeysuckle from half way up the street as I walk home on a summer evening. The first day that I walk out of my front door and find the street full of swifts (I always feel a little bit guilty about this, because they nest round the corner from us so that we get the joy and not the hassle). A long and well told shaggy dog story wound up with a particularly excruciating pun.
KJC: The Chicago Cubs, piglets, and new lip gloss.
Who's your favourite author?
AB: This changes a great deal, depending on my mood and what I've been reminded of recently, but today I'll say Ursula K Le Guin, for writing such wonderfully alien alien cultures, and (to steal a phrase shamelessly from a friend) for being so damn humane.
KJC: I think I'd have to go with Anne Rice. She impresses me on so many levels. She launches herself into research when prepping a new story. She invokes every sense when she's telling her story. She simultaneously leaves you satisfied and wanting more. I think if Anne were to read and comment on my work, I'd lose my mind.
Where do you do most of your writing?
AB: In notepads. Sorry, I don't mean to be facetious, but there isn't really one main place – in bed, on buses, in the kitchen at work (to be absolutely clear, there's no comma missing there, I don't write on company time) – anywhere, when the story is keen enough to be told. I don't think I've actually written anything in a supermarket queue yet, but it's a definite possibility.
KJC: At work over lunch hours or home on weekends.
Do you have any pets?
AB: I usually say we have an indeterminate number of cats. That's three real residents and a shifting population of feral visitors in varying stages of socialisation. This is all my husband's fault, and I'm still trying to deny that I'm in any way a cat person, but it's a hard sell when there's a cat sleeping on your pillow.
We also have a tortoise. The cats are fascinated, but don't seem to classify him as a living being, fortunately. I assume it's because he smells all wrong.
KJC: I just said good-bye to my Main Man Maximus. He was my wonderfully spastic toy fox terrier. His dedicated fur face will be hard to replace. However, my cat, Isis, is still sassy and insolent, as cats are much expected to be.
What's your favourite book, and what are you reading at the moment?
AB: This is another one that depends on the mood you catch me in, but I've been saying Nevil Shute's Lonely Road for a while now. It's generally placed as one of his pre-war books, and I read it first as just a good yarn, but that's not fair. For one thing it has a gloriously odd opening chapter, written from the point of view of someone who was extremely drunk at the time and somewhat concussed immediately afterwards – I'm rather impressed that his publishers were willing to run with it, given that he wasn't an established name at the time. Secondly, there's actually a grim post-war theme at the heart of it (it's listed in the pre-war group because it was written before WWII). In a lot of ways it puts me in mind of Rebecca, but with the advantage that I don't want to grab the protagonists by the scruffs of their necks and scream 'just bloody talk to one another' at them.
At the moment I'm working through all the Saint books (yes, as in the pre-Bond Roger Moore series) that we have in the house, which is rather more than we did – I picked up a dozen or so in a charity shop recently, some new to me, some that I read in my teens and had pretty much forgotten, so I'm reading them in order, which is interesting – for one thing the first few are much more serious than I expected, but on the other hand one of the light hearted collections that I'd always assumed was a later one (without ever thinking to glance at the copyright page) is actually from very close to the beginning.
KJC: There was a book my Grandpa used to read to me all the time called "Who Are You Looking At?" that is my all time favorite. I know, kid's book… but nostalgia wins here. And although I have plenty on my To Be Read list, I'm not currently reading anything.
eReader or physical books?
AB: For me this totally depends on what's most convenient at the time. Physical books probably edge it because I haven't found an e-reader that's as comfortable to read as a paperback yet (I'm willing to assume that this is purely because I'm such a cheapskate) and because the local library has a rather slender collection of e-books.
KJC: Both. I don't have to choose!
If reading and writing were banned, what would you do instead?
Play with the cats. No, obviously not that, because I'm not a cat person. I'd say walk more, but I'm not twenty anymore and my ankles hate me, and I assume that listening to Radio 4 Extra is disqualified by association. I don't know. I might have to actually talk to my husband.
KJC: Write in secret.
If your Glint story were to be filmed, who would you cast as the main character?
AB: I usually throw up a complete blank for fantasy casting, but for Chrissy I think Stephanie Cole would be perfect. (If you're struggling to think of a Stephanie Cole character being nice to someone, even for cynical reasons, you haven't heard of Cabin Pressure, which is a shame.) I'll bet that the first character you thought of at her name was the black widow of Open All Hours, Delphine Featherstone, and perhaps the thought of her using her feminine wiles on anyone was a startling one, but what she and Chrissy share is a hard, guarded cynicism that's hard to set aside, but harder still to live within.
KJC: Third Rosemary would be a newcomer. I can't see anyone playing her.
What 3 things (not including paper, computer, pens) would you like to facilitate a good days writing?
AB: Can I have a force field to keep the cats off the keyboard? Or does that count as general writing implements?
Sticking to the realm of things that actually exist, plenty of nibbles, a dull job to alternate with the writing (weeding and polishing things are both good), and a good dollop of guilt (this seems to work equally well whether it's generated by the thought that there's something more important that I should be doing or by a deadline).
KJC: Music, cheesy poofs, and a minion to rub my shoulders and bring me tea.
If you could genetically cross and animal with a fruit or vegetable what would you choose and why? (When I was asked this for Tattooed Mummy' blog I invented a Potato Spider, spinning its intricate webs of French Fries and Waffles.)
AB: If I can stretch the definition to include herbs I'd love to hybridize the cats with something to make them self-deodorising, like mint or parsley. Better still, bay – a bay-cat snoozing in the sunshine would smell divine, and be a delight to all the senses.
If I must have a fruit or vegetable I'll cross them with lemons, please, because someone told me once that if you leave a lemon on the tree it unripens in the winter and re-ripens next summer & if that's true then you would always have kittens to cheer you up in February, and mature cats to leave you alone to get on with stuff in summer. I did mention, didn't I, that I'm not a cat person? Not at all. Honest.
KJC: I want a Grape Kangaroo…. a never ending supply of grapes. Reach into her pouch and BAM!… Grapes.
I know, it's a crap word, but I couldn't think of a clever one. If you do, let me know and I'll edit this and credit you. They say you should always find a unique title for your book, but given the vast sweep of history and all its words, that's not always possible. I set out to find out what other books share a title with mine.
First up, there's a 64-page version of Tolstoy's War & Peace presented using photographs of rabbits dressed in clothing. It's called 'Rabbit Warren Peace' and it looks BRILLIANT. Also, famed science-fiction writer Bob Shaw has written a couple of comedies about a cardboard-like, sitcom-like hero, Warren Peace, called 'Who Goes Here' and 'Dimensions'.
Warren Peace Title-twins: 2
I expected to find that "there's loads of books called Fog", as a visitor told me at Indie Litfest last year but, although a legion of books have the word within a longer title, only James Herbert's 'The Fog' comes close to the singular, and as I pointed out to my surly visitor, his doesn't have a cool running man in the letter 'O'.
Fog Title-twins: 1
In my innocence I imagined that 'Moth Girl' (even without her bats) would be unique, but no! Here comes 'Moth Girls' by Anne Cassidy, so called because girls are drawn to a particular house like moths (that's light, Anne, not houses), rather than because, like my heroine Thea, they look like a moth when dressed in a weird cloak and flying goggles.
Moth Girl Title-twins: 1
This one surprised me. Who'd have thought there'd be other 'Blood on the Ground's? There are, though. There's Paul Usiskin's torrid tale of murder, dangerous love, and techno-porn (I know!) across the Israel-Palestine divide. Not a lot of laughs in that one, I'll warrant. I'd prefer Lenora Rain Good's 'Blood on the Ground: Elegies for Waiilatpu', 22 poems about the 1847 Waiilatpu massacre. Sod it, I'm buying that one.
Blood on the Ground Title-twins: 2
Happily, my other titles – Cubic Scats, Soul of the Universe, Cutthroats and Curses, Human 76 and the imminent The Museum of White Walls – appear to have no title twins at all. Which I choose to interpret as a 5-4 win for me, so ner.
Happy Birthday Warren Peace
Four years ago today, encouraged by Alex Brightsmith, I published my inoffensive little "Magnificent Seven with fur" tale about rabbits and cats working together against seemingly insurmountable odds. I doubt Alex knew what she was unleashing back then, but I'll be eternally grateful that she did.
There are now nine substantial books out there with my name on the cover as either author or editor, along with a couple of other small things. These days you can buy some of my stories translated into Russian, and even get yourself a Wombie audiobook to listen to while driving. You can buy Wombie jewellery and stationery, and you can employ me to edit your manuscript and format it correctly for publishing (yeah, I've not made that page yet – I ought to get my finger out). The tenth book and fourth full-length novel***, The Raven's Wing, is well on its way to completion now that I've fallen back in love with it again.
I've met numerous authors, attended signings and book fairs, and made a lot of new friends. I've had "Oi, Wombat!" shouted at me in a busy town centre. Perhaps my favourite meeting, though, was in Michigan when I was introduced to a stranger whose first words to me were "You asshole, how could you end Fog like that?". In short, I've had the BEST bloody time, and it's down to you lovely buggers who read all my blather. Thank you *snogs your faces off*. And if you don't like my writing (a) what are you doing here? and (b) blame Alex.
***if you can't actually count four, that's probably because you're not aware of the privately published novel called 'Murder at Wombat Towers' which was written about and for a dozen Americans to thank them all for their remarkable hospitality and friendship over the years.
The Raven's Wing extended 4-disc version
My Scrivener file for The Raven's Wing is enormous. I've done so much research, spending a big gobbet of time making sure I get as many details right about 1322 as I can. One of the best things about research is the learning process itself, and this quest for accuracy is a lovely bunch of fun. How much do you know about the 14th century? No, nor did I until I began to write this book, but it's an intriguing period. Did you know they didn't have orange carrots yet?
I'll pop a lot of the fascinating things that I've discovered into Author's Notes at the back of the book, as usual, and you'll perhaps be interested to learn that as with Fog, there will be a Raven's Wing Special Edition. Think of this as the extended DVD version – the four-disc Lord Of The Rings type extended edition. It'll be in hardback for a start, and will contain a lot more historical background information than the paperback.
There will also be "Deleted scenes" – chapters not in the paperback that cover events that happen 'behind the scenes' of the main plotline. There may also be a few versions of events written from a different character's point of view.
Add to this the added graphics, medieval art, character sketches by Kit Cooper, maps, my drawings of locations – and perhaps, just perhaps, I'll tell a backstory that cries out to be told; that of Moss, the one-eyed fire-dancer who hints at a secretive, violent past. FYI Moss is named for my author friend Sophie Moss. whom I'm pretty sure doesn't have a shady past.
I only wish I could include a CD of all the songs that are scattered through the book (my hero is a minstrel after all), performed by me and Blondie, my uke. Perhaps I'll post a series of YouTube videos. The book'll be a few more months coming, but it'll totally be worth it. It's going to be FUN.
Orgasm as a medical treatment
"The church maintained that a man's penis was required to have fulfilling sexual activity, and therefore frowned far less on women lying with women than it did on male homosexuality.
Indeed, medically there existed a school of thought that the womb of a woman contained a build-up of her seed, and without penetrative sex this would cause suffocation of the womb. The cure for this was to find a midwife or cunning woman willing to place hot items upon the woman's privities and bring her to release."
– a little snippet there from the ongoing The Raven's Wing.
My God, it's full of links! The collected Human 76
Lisa Shambrook has written about the origins of Human 76, I have written about its development, and all sorts of people are contributing their thoughts on the characters and stories that have moved them. Individual authors have expressed their own points of view.
Alex Brightsmith has talked about how her character Chrissy developed when she crossed paths with my own Glint.
Denise Callaway has published a short extract from her story, Underneath, as has Michelle Fox from her frankly terrifying Human X. Another snippet, this time from Steven Paul Watson's non-stop The Hunted, can be found here.
Rebecca Fyfe has blogged about the anthology's support for the charity Water Is Life, while Michael Manz has effortlessly summed up the story so far.
Just two more links for you – the ePub version is free at the moment, but will soon rise to a reasonable price. You might want to grab your download sooner rather than later. Might I recommend, though, that you shell out for the paperback, which is a thing of beauty. Not only will you find that it contains a map of Ghabrie's journey not in the eBook, but you'll also have a warm glow of satisfaction from knowing that you've helped a worthwhile charity.
Live Writer
I had thought, when I finally gave in and replaced my nine-year-old laptop (a faithful servant in over the years but lately taken to dying two or three times a day) that blogging might become a lot harder. I've always used the simple Windows Live Writer to write and format blog posts offline before posting them here. I knew, however, that Microsoft had given it the boot some time ago.
Was I to be reduced to using the execrable WordPress interface? As it turns out, no! And here I am blogging with Live Writer as usual, but now on my pretty red Windows 10 laptop. It turns out that Microsoft have released Live Writer as open source, and I can now use Open Live Writer to do exactly what I did before.
As you might have gathered by now the point of this post is to test out my capability, rather than to entertain my readers. I'll be amazed if any of you have made it this far, in fact. If you have, I love you best of all.
There's nowt wrong with a right good adverb
The internet creaks with people giving you writing advice, telling you exactly how to construct your tale. My writing advice: don't listen to writing advice. Including this, if it doesn't suit you. Write what makes your heart sing, your mind spark and your inner self go whoop-di-doo. Write people you fall in love with and characters you despise. Create beings who shock you and betray your trust, sending your story spinning off into uncharted skies undreamt of when you filed your flight plan. Write people. People with reasons for the things they do. People who think they are the goodies. Or, you know, sprout-creatures from the planet Pobble if you're writing weird SF.
Ignore any 'expert' that tries to restrain what words you can use before you actually use them – they also likely believe that their anus emits sunlight. Especially dismiss that often-repeated shit about never using adverbs. Employ deftly; elegantly bedizen your doing words with adverbs like shimmering jewels on a smooth cleavage. Use the buggers, but yes, use them sparingly, with meaning and thought. Telling a new writer not to use adverbs is like taking the screwdriver out of a toolkit. Well alright, maybe a spanner.
So, no blanket rules, okay? Although… is "Edit the shizz out of your drafts, then edit again, then get someone else to edit them" a rule? I'd advise that one. Otherwise, write what you want – then edit it to a high sheen so that the reader will almost smell the sprouts. These are metaphorical sprouts – you get that, right?
So don't listen to writing advice – but do listen, intently, to editing advice, even it comes from inside your own head. Oh, and if you can't be wazzocked to edit, re-edit, re-re-edit yourself, then hire a good editor. I happen to know a superb editor – she's here.
Second place! That'll do nicely
"This took me on the best dark journey. Loved it!"
"Poetry, ancient history, and a need to sate vengeful passion with a black twist of fate."
"A deliciously dark tale right from the poetic start. Loved it!"
"Filled with vivid images, poetic language, and bloody vengeance!"
I'm Chuffed to little mintballs that my story The Croaking Raven was placed second in this year's Love Bites competition. There were some cracking stories submitted this year, and I'm honoured to be considered in the top three.
But blimey, the winning story, the truly terrifying True Love Always Dies by Eric Martell, was a worthy winner which you should definitely go and read HERE.
Why'd I have to go and make things so complicated?
So, I get back from the gym and I'm ready to start writing. The problem is that I can't think of a sub-plot to delay my protagonist by a day underground while parallel plotlines 11B (Moss) and 11C (raven/reeve) reach plotpoint GAMMA. Were I less of a stickler for continuity I could just write the strands and sod whether they match temporally, but no. I'm a stickler for stuff like that, me. I stickle.
Or, you know, why can't I ever just write a novel-length story that just goes in a straight line? Warren Peace had two parallel plots, chuntering on together in alternate chapters. In Fog I kind of folded Finn's tale of mystery, weirdness and showers back on itself and plaited the strands (that was fun!). In The Raven's Wing there are, let me see, at least four things going on at once in different places, all important to the tale.
Herein, though, lies the beauty of Scrivener. First of all it makes stickling easy by allowing me to look at parallel timelines by judicious use of keywords. In addition, I can actually leave John festering underground not caring what he's doing while I write future chapters, secure in the knowledge I can come back to him at that moment later when a light bulb hits me about what he might actually be doing there.
Looks like I'm writing after all. Well played, Scriv.

I've come a long way in the three years since I wrote the following journal entry. I still don't understand the nature of life or death. Still don't understand the point of it all, but the questions don't haunt me quite as much as they did during the first years after the death of my life mate/soul mate. I'm learning to live without him, learning even to want to live without him. Sometimes I see his death as freeing us — me — from the horrors of his dying, and I don't want to waste the sacrifice he made.
I still yearn to talk to him, though. I miss talking to him, miss his insights, miss the neverending conversation. ("Neverending" is a misnomer — the conversation that began the day we met and continued for decades until he got too sick to hold up his end of the dialogue, did eventually end.) He was easy to talk to. He never misunderstood what I said. I could make a simple comment to him, and he understood it was a simple comment. He didn't make a big issue out of it, just answered back appropriately. It seems now every remark I make to anyone becomes a major deal as I try to explain over and over again what I meant by the first remark. It's exhausting.
I'm grateful we met and had so many years together. Grateful for all the words we spoke to each other. Grateful I once had someone to love. Grateful that when my time comes to die, he won't be here to see me suffer. Grateful he won't have to grieve for me or be tormented by unaswerable questions.
Excerpt from Grief: The Great Yearning
Day 214, Grief Journal
Life/death has me very confused. I still don't see that a person lives after they are dead. What survives, if anything? The part of us we never knew—the un-sub-conscious? If so, how would we know who we were after we were dead? Is it just the energy in our bodies that is released? If so, for sure we would not know who we were.
On the other hand, without some sort of afterlife, life simply does not make sense. What's the point of it all? To survive? For what—more survival until there is no more survival? To help others? Why? So they can survive? For what?
If there is life after death, what do you do with eternity? You have no ears to hear music, no eyes to read or watch a movie, no legs to walk, no hands to caress another, no mouth to talk, no brain to think. Sounds like a horror movie to me. And what will we do if Jeff and I meet again? Bask in each other's light? That would get boring after a minute or two.
I guess it doesn't really matter. Whether life ends or continues after death, this is where I am now. So what do I want from the rest of my life? I don't know. I've never really wanted much. I never even wanted happiness—I thought other things were more important, such as truth. But now? I truly do not know what I want, except that which I cannot have. I yearn desperately to talk to Jeff—not about anything in particular, just to talk. It's like a voice hunger, or a word hunger. A dozen times a day I think of something I want to say to him, to ask him, to marvel at. Sometimes I just want the feeling of connection. I still yearn to put my arms around him and protect him from what will happen, but it's already happened, and anyway, my touch never had the power to heal.
I know I'm strong enough to handle this—after all, I am handling it—but I DON'T WANT TO!!

A lot of people claim to be leaders. But the real leaders are the ones who actually get people to follow. Danny Kanell gives his 4 secrets to getting people to follow you wherever you want them to go. As a major college and NFL quarterback it was Danny Kanell's job to get his teammates to follow. It wasn't always easy getting guys motivated but Danny found the keys to maximizing the effort of those around him. Whether on the field or in the workplace these secrets will build a following of people ready to go where you want them to go.
It's inevitable. At some point things will go off the rails. It's easy to be positive when things are great. But what happens when things go wrong? When you don't get that long awaited promotion. When you aren't able to close that deal. Those are the times when it's most critical to keep a positive mindset. Having lost on the biggest stages, been cut by 3 different NFL teams, and fired from his dream job, Danny Kanell can speak from experience! But despite all of these seeming failures he has been able to stay positive and live a successful, accomplished life. He'll give you his keys to personal character growth in the midst of adversity.
Coming back from the brink of disaster isn't easy. But Danny Kanell knows from his personal experience that it can be done. He masterminded one of the greatest comebacks in college football history while playing quarterback at Florida State University. With his team trailing 31-3 with only 10 minutes remaining in the 4th quarter, Kanell directed 4 touchdown drives to lead his team all the way back from almost certain defeat. More important than the comeback itself were the real life lessons that he took from that historical day
It's not a grade. It's a lifestyle.
Being positive is a way of life. It's something Danny Kanell has chosen to follow. But it's more than reciting a few cliches when you wake up in the morning. It's about dealing with people. It's about how you approach your work. It's about real life applications that will make you a happier, more productive person. Danny will share his own secrets on how to stay positive through even the toughest of hardships.
Please provide a few details regarding the upcoming event so that we can better assist you.

You know how I'm always raving about our food community? About how much I love my fellow over the moon talented food blogger friends. About how much we all support each other. Well it's not just talk *wink wink* we really do support each other and have this incredible camaraderie. So much so that when I was asked to participate in spreading the word about a fabulous new cookbook by the one and only Pam of Three Many Cooks, well you know what the answer was ; )
When my review copy of Pam Anderson's {and btw we're not talking the bay watch, Tommy Lee and Pam Anderson *side eye*} new cookbook "Perfect ONE-DISH Dinners All You Need for Easy Get – Togethers" arrived I was smitten. Oh backing up, yes you read that right ONE DISH! You all know how much I love to cook BUT I hate to do dishes so this book had my undivided attention. In case you're not familiar with our friend Pam she is a food writer, cookbook author and one of the fantastic three ThreeManyCooks bloggers and oh yeah pretty much super woman in disguise!
Okay, I'm gushing but it's all true. I was immediately struck with how beautiful the book was. I'm a visual person and I always flip through the pages looking through the photos first. I expect a lot of photos in a cookbook and this book didn't disappoint. It was chock full of mouth watering photography. So much so, I have sticky notes everywhere for the recipes that I want to try!
They put together the most amazing video {in conjunction with The White On Rice Couple, whose talents amaze me} Take a quick peek…
Perfect One-Dish Dinners from Three Many Cooks on Vimeo.
Some of you might think one dish means casseroles. Well I'm happy to report, this is NOT your grandma's casserole collection! And I'm going to prove it ; )
I decided to try one out, after drooling ehem flipping through many pages I settled on Cassoulet Style Italian Sausages and White Beans. I knew my family would love it. We eat Italian Sausages all the time and then there were also beans and cherry tomatoes…Swoon! SOLD!
It was perfect for a Sunday Supper and I even enlisted the help of the kids, they literally added everything to the pot themselves and I put it into the oven. It's virtually effortless! From pot to table it's less than an hour. Nice! And yes, it was as promised all done in ONE POT and *rubbing hands together* I served it in the dutch oven it was made in! It was hearty and delicious. I was a happy camper!
There are a TON of recipes to choose from! And as if one pot dish recipes weren't enough each entree includes recipes for an appetizer, salad, and dessert as well as wine pairings. And just in case you're really strapped for time, Pam gives "instant alternatives" for the appetizer and dessert. Talking about having all the work done for you. Pam really covered ALL the bases here ; )
I can't say enough how fantastic Pam's COOKBOOK is, so much so you should run out and pick up your own copy! You won't be disappointed ; )

Loading Clock Preview...
"Turquoise Tile" Clock
Type : Matrix3x5WithColorGridBg
Description :
The clock's display is short and stocky. The clock has quite a lot of padding at the edges, which makes the clock's display a little bit on the small side. There is a lot of space between the digits of the clock's display, which makes the digits seem taller and far apart. The clock has an edge glow effect. The edge glow is subtle. The color of the edge glow is close to dark magenta, with a hint of dark orchid and dark slate blue. It is quite fat, but is still distinctly confined to the edges. The clock has a color grid effect as a background. The color at the top left corner is close to green yellow, with a hint of yellow green and chartreuse. The color at the top right corner is close to chocolate, with a hint of indian red and sienna. The color at the bottom left corner is close to sea green, with a hint of dark slate grey and teal. The color at the bottom right corner is close to sienna, with a hint of dark goldenrod and olive. The digits of the clock's display are made up of several segments. The digits are totally opaque, so nothing directly beneath them is visible. Their color is close to light sea green, with a hint of medium turquoise and turquoise. There is no gap between the digit segments. The digit segments have a drop shadow. The direction of the shadow is southeast. The shadow is offset by a fair amount. The shadow is quite blurred, and its outline is not so clear. The shadow has a fair amount of spread, adding strength. The color of the shadow is black. The shadow is almost completely opaque, and should feel rather strong
The Matrix3x5WithColorGridBg clock combines a 3x5 matrix display for the digits, a four corner color grid gradient background, and an edge glow with themeable color, thickness, and opacity. The individual segments of the digits support theming by color, opacity, segment gap, and a drop shadow. Additionally, digit spacing, overall clock aspect ratio, and edge padding can also be themed.
