Death and dying is a topic most people do not talk about until faced with a serious or life-limiting illness. In some cases, families must guess what a loved one would or would not want. As a hospice nurse, I often see families struggling with difficult decisions during this time. I want to offer some information and resources that can help you be proactive about end of life care.
In Pennsylvania, the advance health care directive, or living will, communicates your wishes if you are unable to express them yourself. It guides your health care agent and family regarding choices about medical decisions commonly faced at the end of life. This form addresses wishes for CPR, tube feedings, dialysis and other aggressive measures. These topics can be confusing and if further explanation is needed while completing the form your physician can help offer clarification.
Notarization for the advance health care directive is not required by Pennsylvania law; however, the form should be signed and witnessed by two adults. A copy of your advance health care directive should be given to your power of attorney, family members, physicians, attorney and clergy, if you desire. Also, keep a copy in an accessible, but secure place.
Anyone who is 18 years or older, married or is a high school graduate can create an advance health care directive in Pennsylvania. Planning ahead allows you to voice your preferences and prevent your family from having to make difficult, sometimes financially burdensome decisions.
The Pennsylvania Department of Aging provides an online brochure entitled Understanding Advance Directives for Healthcare. If you do not have access to the internet you can request a hard copy of the form from Pennsylvania Department of Aging, Office of the Chief Counsel, 555 Walnut St., 5th Floor, Harrisburg, PA 17101; or call 717-783-1609.
Taking the time to make these decisions now can bring you and your family comfort knowing that your wishes will be honored.

Last year Mike Schipani and the Park Crew at Northstar California had to dig out their already built TransAm Mini Park from under four feet of snow that had accumulated the night prior to event day. The TransWorld SNOWboarding TransAm presented by Skullcandy went off this year with the opposite snow circumstances. This year, Schipani had to turn on the guns at night and bring his own storm to fill the TransAm Park with snow. He did so in such a way to rival all the other park builders on tour and create an awesome set up under the hot Lake Tahoe sun. The riders this year turned up the heat switch even more and broke it off on high. Their riding made our judges scratch their heads wondering who would walk away a winner with such heavy tricks being thrown down by everyone involved.
The High Cascade Snowboard Camp mini pipe was at the top of the park and gave riders the chance to pump through the transition and jib the coping of the pipe, which itself, was littered with flat rails and lift tubes. Tommy Gesme didn't hold back as he dropped into the pipe proving to the other riders and the judging staff that he was the best all around rider with jib, jump, and pipe tricks. Brady Lem followed suit hitting the Muscle Milk flat rail on the deck of the pipe every way you could possibly fathom. At the bottom of the pipe was a side hit that shot riders up and over the end of the pipe deck to hit the Anon Optics down box. AJ Lawson aired up and over the Anon box to take home the last available spot on the guys' podium, third place.
The Ride Snowboards smoking barrel set up had two barrels set up in the middle of a corrugated pipe A-frame. The third barrel was set up next to the A-frame throwing smoke into the air. Mariah Dugan reserved the non-smoking section for her trickery to prove that she deserved first place for the gals. Just below the Ride Snowboards barrel setup was the Zumiez living room feature. The Zumiez orange couch was decorated for the TransAm's tenth birthday and sitting right across from a big screen TV. Pint Sized Ripper, Dante Schipani, took the cue to ride through the living room right out the front window frame onto a down box. It was truly picture perfect and he didn't even tear down the drapes. Just below the living room setup was the Skullcandy sound tube with so many different on and off options. The Skullcandy feature could literally be hit from every side. Sisi Lauretti let the beats boom and rode across the sound tube with so much energy that the judges couldn't help but give her third place. At the bottom of the park the Coal Headwear snow beanies shadowed over the rest of the features. The riders held their speed into the beanies to throw rodeos and back flips non-stop throughout the day.
The after party was catered by the classiest restaurant at Northstar California feeding the riders a silver-platter-spread of lasagna and salad. TransAm winners were given custom Coal TransAm beanies, custom Giro Helmets, Drop Gloves, Ride snowboards and outerwear, custom TransAm Skullcandy Aviator headphones, High Cascade Snowboard Camp backpacks, and Anon goggles. The Zumiez best trick winner, Mizl Ybarra, smashed the big screen TV and took home one thousand dollars in Zumiez dollars. Chris Mullins was voted by the rest of the riding field as the best rider and given the Muscle Milk Rider's Choice Award worth two hundred dollars. Top honors walked away with the gold TransAm Trophies by Transworld Snowboarding and also earned a spot into the TransAm Finals at Bear on March 10th.

FICTION and LIBRARIES
I've started reading science fiction again lately. I used to read tons of the stuff, all through high school and well into my thirties. About ten years ago I kind of lost interest and haven't read much of it since. But the other day I was in the Iliad used book store in North Hollywood and they had a couple hundred of the kinds of titles I used to devour all for about $2 a piece. So I bought some and took 'em home and started reading. I'd forgotten how fun some of that hogwash can be.
Which brings me to a couple questions that I get asked from time to time. Every so often a writer with aspirations to Buddhist practice will write and ask me if I think it's OK that he (it's always been guys so far) writes fiction. I don't know why they think they need my approval. But I always say it's fine with me. The word "fiction" doesn't mean lying (although I think Robert A. Heinlein in Stranger In A Strange Land has a Martian character who believes that). There are areas of the human condition that are very hard to describe in any other way than in a work of fiction. A work of fiction can often be far more truthful than a work of non-fiction. Shee-oot. I was in a Buddhist book shop the other day and I'd say at least 90% of the books in there weren't just fiction or even science fiction. They were works of pure unadulterated fantasy being pawned off as "spirituality." I'd much rather see truthful fiction than that kind of codswallop.
The other question I get, semi-related to this, is whether I, as a writer, think it's OK to take books out from the library rather than buying them. I take books out of the library all the time myself so I often ponder this one. Yeah, as a writer I'd rather you buy my books. But I know not everyone can afford to buy books and lots of people are far more voracious readers than their wallets could handle if they had to buy everything they wanted to read. Some people, like me, will take books out of the library and, if they like them, buy them even though they've already read them, just to support the writers. So libraries are OK by me. Anyway, libraries buy the books too.
When I lived in Japan libraries weren't really an option. In fact one of the main reasons I learned to read Japanese was because I wanted to stop spending so much money ordering books from Amazon. If I could check the Japanese editions out of the library it'd be so much cheaper.
It's a good thing to support writers you like by buying their books. It's also good to support book stores you like by buying those books from the shops even if it means paying a little more. You're paying that little bit extra to keep that book store open in your community. I don't have anything against Amazon. I like them a lot, in fact. But book stores have it tough these days. I always try and support them when I can.
So write fiction and buy fiction (or non-fiction, or pop-up books, or whatever).
Good? Good.

Gov. Pat Quinn will visit Mexico City next week on a trade mission, a spokesman confirmed Wednesday.
Quinn's visit will focus "on job creation, agriculture and food production, manufacturing, water infrastructure and tourism," spokesman Grant Klinzman said in an email to The Associated Press. He said Quinn will leave April 3.
Quinn will meet with Mexico City Mayor Miguel Mancera and two governors. Quinn will publicly announce the trip - including more details of his itinerary - on Tuesday during an event in Melrose Park.
Quinn has made foreign business trips to China, Japan, Brazil and elsewhere. On a trip to Spain last summer, Quinn paid for part of his travel expenses himself.
Quinn has announced several business agreements with foreign corporations after some of his trips. Following a visit to China, he unveiled a $70 million trade deal on corn products.
Quinn, a Democrat, will be the first Illinois governor to visit Mexico in 13 years. Former Gov. Jim Edgar, a Republican, visited Mexico City in 1991 and 1998. His successor, GOP Gov. George Ryan, went to the capital city in 2000.
Exports to Mexico from Illinois in the first half of 2012 reached $3 billion. Mexico accounts for nearly 9 percent of the state's exports.
The 2010 census shows more than 1.5 million Illinois residents - or over 12 percent of the state's population- are of Mexican origin.

Eric Fields is finally set for the biggest fight of his career.
Fields is in South Africa, awaiting Saturday's WBC Silver Cruiserweight championship bout against Illunga Makabu (14-1, 13 KOs). The winner will be in prime position to fight for a world title.
The fight will air at 9:30 a.m. central on beIN Sports Network, which is available on Dish Network Ch. 408/871 and Direct TV Ch. 620. Fields (22-1, 16 knockouts) said he's been waiting on this fight his entire career.
"I've been really, really anxious for this fight," Fields said via phone earlier last week in Canada, the site of his prematch training. "In the beginning, for maybe the first three weeks, it was fairly easy for me to contain my composure. But they last few weeks, I've had to force myself from overdoing it, overtraining."
The younger Makabu, 25, will provide a challenge for the seasoned Fields, who hasn't lost since 2008. Makabu, a native of the Congo who resides in South Africa, comes into the fight with a sterling record himself, winner of 14 bouts — 13 via knockout.
"He's a southpaw, which I had problems with early in my career," Fields said. "He's what you'd call a pressure fighter — he doesn't have big explosive punches, but he has a lot of medium-style punches, where he can punch with the same intensity for the whole 12 rounds.
"But even before I came here to his training camp (in Canada), I think I had the experience, I had the knowledge to beat this fighter I'm going against."
Fields traveled to South Africa with his trainer, Frankie Dugay, his uncle Carl Fields and his cut man Bob Miller. He said the support system he's had has helped him immeasurably, particularly during his hiatus from the ring last year.
He's glad to have them along. He's also ready to fight.
"With all the problems in the last couple of years, with fights being cancelled, postponed and everything, I know it made me more eager and more hungry for the big fight," Fields said. "It's been put in my face for so long, so many times I reach out for it and it's pulled away from me. It's kinda drived me crazy.
"You train every day to reach that goal. Now that I finally get the chance to do it, I'm so hungry for it. I'm starving for it right now."

A state website is making it easier for people to quickly find information about watering restrictions in their community.
A state website is making it easier for people to quickly find information about watering restrictions in their community.
The Colorado Water Conservation Board launched www.COH2O.co which will provide search features that allow visitors to quickly link to their water utility and learn of any local water restrictions that may be in place because of below-average precipitation and reservoir storage in many areas of Colorado. The website has just launched and is being updated as communities implement watering restrictions.
La Junta has announced water restrictions will begin April 15. La Junta will be in stage 1 watering restrictions at that time, which means no watering can be done between 10 a.m. and 6 p.m. This applies to both residential and commercial properties.
Watering restrictions will be enforced. Restrictions will be in place until Oct. 15, but during hotter and drier months, adjustments may be made as needed.
The reason behind the watering restrictions is the drought. The city wells are drier (lower static water levels) than they have been at any time since measurements started in 2000, including the drought year of 2002. City officials attribute it to two years the equivalent of 2002. The difference in the local situation this year is that there is enough water stored in Pueblo Reservoir to cover two years. At the end of the second year, however, we would be completely out of water to be used for outdoor purposes.
The site will serve as a landing page and enable users to search by zip code to determine their water provider and be directed to relevant Web pages outlining what restrictions specific water providers may have in place. The site will also contain quick links to other important state and regional resources that provide updated water supply and drought-related data.
"During a drought everyone can do their part to reduce water use. Even small actions conserve water in our streams and reservoirs and help Colorado as a whole respond to abnormally dry conditions," said John Stulp, the Governor's water policy adviser. "This website will enable families to quickly determine exactly which restrictions apply to them, reducing confusion and making conservation easier."
www.COH2O.co was developed by the Colorado Department of Natural Resources and the Colorado Water Conservation Board in collaboration with water providers across the state. If you would like more information about this topic, contact Taryn Finnessey at (303) 866-3441 x-3231 or at firstname.lastname@example.com.

The next meeting will be on April 16 at the home of Linda Beam. Sandi Olson will present the program.
Ten members of the Tuesday Study Club were present for the March19 meeting at the home of Marge Moulton.
Marge Moulton told about a publication available at the library, Book Page, which gives information about new books. She told about several books which she had enjoyed reading after learning about them in Book Page.
Anne Sorensen presented the program for the day. She told about the trip which she and her husband took to Russia from March 17 to April 7, 2012. They flew from the United States to Amsterdam and then to St. Petersburg, Russia. There they boarded a German riverboat, converted to a cruise ship, together with 200 other passengers and 96 crew members.
The cruise took them 829 miles through three lakes, two rivers, and the Moscow Canal. This waterway was made possible with the building of 17 locks. 100,000 people died during the construction of the locks in the 1940s. Anne told about the many sights of St. Petersburg, where they spent five days. Some of these were St. Isaac's Cathedral; Peterhof, the summer home of Peter the Great; and Yusupov Palace. Many of the buildings had been badly damaged during World War II and had been restored.
Their cruise ended at Moscow, where they spent five days and saw Red Square, the Kremlin, the Jewish Heritage Museum, the Russian Circus, and many other interesting sights. In addition to their cruise, the Sorensens also spent four days in Kiev. St. Sophia's Cathedral, built in 1037, the Chernobyl Museum, and the many beautiful gardens were highlights of Kiev. Anne also showed beautiful amber jewelry, intricate weaving, birch bark art, and Matrioshka dolls, examples of the artistic ability of the Russian people.
The next meeting will be on April 16 at the home of Linda Beam. Sandi Olson will present the program.

I definitely prefer 'fresh wild caught'; superior texture and flavor, imo. Parasite infections are pretty common in Alaskan coastal villages, and it's not a terribly dangerous thing to have one of those tapeworm thingys in your gut..... but they can cause anemia, are known to grow to like 30 feet in length and can live for decades. It's a matter of measured risk.
I meant wild "fresh" vs wild frozen.

The Neosho R-5 Board of Education made things official on Tuesday as they voted to hire Dustin Baldwin as head football coach and Brandi Arthur as softball coach at Neosho High School.
The Neosho R-5 Board of Education made things official on Tuesday as they voted to hire Dustin Baldwin as head football coach and Brandi Arthur as softball coach at Neosho High School.
Baldwin had been head football coach at Miller High School since 2009, leading his Cardinals to the state quarterfinals four years in a row, closing with a 12-1 record in 2012. In four seasons at Miller, Baldwin led the Cardinals to a 43-8 record.
This will be Baldwin's second stint as a football coach at NHS. He spent 2008 as offensive coordinator under then head coach Shawn Flannigan, helping the Wildcats compile an 8-4 record. He's also spent time in a variety of coaching positions at Mount Vernon (1999-2007), and one year at Republic as an assistant.
Baldwin was selected out of more than 30 applicants for the position from Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Michigan, Texas and Louisiana. Baldwin will be charged with resurrecting a football program that didn't win any games last season, going 0-10 under Jared Schoonover.
"Certainly, I'm excited about the opportunity that the school board has given me," Baldwin said. "I know Neosho is a community that has a lot of opportunity. We're going to come in and try to be successful."
Baldwin said his fondest memory from that 2008 season in Neosho — besides a district title and victory over Carthage — was the support the team felt from the community.
"Certainly, the community support," he said. "The passion to be successful. I know the kids there when I was there worked extremely hard, and bought into what we were doing, and we had a lot of success. We're going to try to replicate that. We're going to have high expectations coming in. We're looking to be successful quickly in getting it turned around."
Baldwin said he'll bring the spread offense back to Neosho, but personnel will dictate how much of it is used, or which variations of the sort, in the early going.
"We're going to be a spread team, but we're going to be multiple (looks) as well," he said. "Obviously our team and personnel will dictate that as well. We're going to have to be physical.
"There's certainly a lot of work to do, but I'm excited to get down there and get to work."
With that, Baldwin said he'll always have fond memories of his time at Miller.
"It's been a great situation," he said of his time with the Cardinals. "The community and school have been great to me. The kids have worked very hard. I'm thankful for the opportunity I've had at Miller. I look at it very fondly, the time I've been here, it's been very fun."
Neosho didn't have to look far to find its next head softball coach, tabbing current NHS teacher, and former Crowder College head coach, Brandi Arthur to fill the position. Arthur served from July 2004-May 2008 with the Lady Roughriders before stepping away. Since departing Crowder, Arthur has spent time teaching in McDonald County at Pineville where she taught social studies and physical education.
Arthur then moved on to Neosho, where she's been teaching health at the high school and eighth grade physical education at the junior high. While she hasn't been coaching school ball since her time at Crowder, Arthur says she's kept busy coaching travel ball in the area.
"I've been coaching softball ever since I quit at Crowder," Arthur said. "I am definitely excited, and definitely wanting to build a quality softball program at Neosho.
"It's definitely going to be a challenge, and hopefully the girls and the parents will buy in on the things that I'm going to ask them to do. If we're going to have the buy-in that I hope we're going to have, then I think we can start winning lots of games in two or three years."
Another draw for Arthur was the brand new softball field constructed behind George Washington Carver Elementary School. And while she says she's excited to get going on the new field, her team must match the new-look stadium.
"I'm definitely looking forward to playing at that nice field," Arthur said. "It will make a difference. I want our team to understand to be proud of where you play, but I hope the girls understand that they're going to have to work. We want to build a program where we're not just going to have a great-looking field, but a great-looking program as well."
Neosho Athletic Director Corey Roy said both coaches are a great fit for Neosho.
"We're thrilled to death that we're able to get two quality coaches like that," Roy said. "With our new facility that our softball program has and then the addition of coach Arthur, our program has taken a big jolt and a lot of people have been very supportive of her.
"With Dustin, it's a lot of the same things. I felt he was one of the hot, up-and-coming young coaches that everybody was looking for. I think that he brings a lot to the table as far as the X's and O's, but also being able to build strong relationships with the kids and build the program from the ground up while doing it the right way."
The familiarity with both coaches should help ease the transition into black and gold.
"When we set out on this search, we weren't necessarily looking for that," Roy said. "But when these two came up we knew they were a great fit."

1990 slaying of farmer
The Missouri Supreme Court has overturned the murder conviction of a man who had been sentenced to life in prison for the 1990 slaying of a neighboring farmer, ruling that prosecutors withheld evidence that may have benefited his defense.
The state's high court ordered Mark Woodworth released within 60 days of when its ruling is finalized, unless prosecutors decide to retry him. Woodworth was convicted of fatally shooting Catherine Robertson and wounding her husband, Lyndel Robertson, as they slept in their home near Chillicothe, about 90 miles north of Kansas City.
Woodworth, whose father farmed with the Robertsons, was 16 at the time of their deaths. He was convicted first in 1995 and, after briefly being released on appeal, was convicted by a second jury four years later.
But Woodworth's attorney argued in his latest appeal that the conviction was "tainted" by prosecutors' failure to turn over evidence, including copies of letters between a Livingston County judge, prosecutors and Lyndal Robertson that could have cast doubt on Woodworth's guilt.
From his hospital bed, Lyndel Robertson initially identified his oldest daughter's ex-boyfriend — not Woodworth — as the likely shooter, according to court records. But Robertson later testified that he named the ex-boyfriend — who has denied involvement — only as a possible suspect.
The Supreme Court's decision follows a recommendation made last May by Boone County Circuit Judge Gary Oxenhandler that Woodworth's conviction be set aside. Oxenhandler had described Woodworth as a victim of "a manifest injustice."

EA announces that the Windows edition of SimCity is now available in North America, saying the OS X edition of Maxis' urban planning reboot will follow sometime this spring. The SimCity Website has a blog post from Kip Katsarelis where the Senior Producer on the project offers some thoughts on what to expect. The first review scores are up on Metacritic, where it has so far received much acclaim from critics, while the user score scrapes along the bottom, as many gamers are using this opportunity to voice disapproval of the game's DRM, which requires it to be played online. On that topic, the Origin twitter account has a steady stream of tweets explaining delays in distributing and unlocking the game though the Origin service, which is struggling with the demand, at various times saying the delay to unlock the game would span 90 minutes to as much as four hours. Polygon has word from Origin global community manager Marcel Hatam that the service is still struggling, and they note a post on the EA Forums sympathizing with frustration at the delays, and offering refunds for unhappy customers. They explain that they understand how important pre-loads are to a smooth launch, and apologize that they could not put this knowledge to use in this case, saying: "This didn't come together for SimCity unfortunately, for which I again apologize." Here's part of the release announcement:

Leah Scudder got a double-double and Jada Guinn scored a career-high 12 points as the Jefferson Lady Eagles defeated the Jacksboro Lady Eagles 43-28.
Scudder had 15 points and 12 steals to help power Jefferson who got out to a quick start. Jefferson (8-3, 3-0 in Area 2) came out of the first quarter with a 14-6 lead and though Jacksboro cut the deficit to six at halftime, Jefferson held their foe to just 13 points in the second half while scoring 22.
Amara Howard had seven points and four rebounds for Jefferson and Kayla Summers had four points and five boards.
Jefferson traveled to LaFollette late Monday before facing Horace Maynard tonight. JMS and Horace Maynard were supposed to play last Monday, Dec. 3, but rescheduled the game — now at Jefferson Middle. Tipoff is at 6 p.m. for the varsity girls and 7 p.m. for the varsity boys.
RMS girls 34, Clinton 28
An early 13-3 lead was cut to within six by halftime, but Oliva Daniels put in two big free throws to seal the Lady Rams win over the Clinton Lady Hawks Thursday.
"This was the first real pressure situation Olivia has been in and she walked right to the line and nailed both shots," RMS coach Scott Hinton said. Her free throws seal the victory for us."
Robertsville was led in scoring again by Courtney Ellison with 14 points. Destiny Kassner scored nine, Mykia Dowdell had five, Olivia Daniels finished with four and Desiree Bates put in two.
"Overall this was a good team win," coach Hinton said. "The girls handled themselves well in a tough environment."
With the win the Lady Rams record improves to 8-4 overall and 3-1 in Area 2.
RMS boys 52, Clinton 33
The Rams found themselves in familar territory after their big win against the Hawks — the driver seat of Area 2.
Tee Higgins poured in 25 points for the Rams as they took a big lead in their district and won their 12 straight game to open the season.
Markell Rowe had a double-double coming down with 10 rebounds and 11 points.
Higgins filled the stat sheet with five rebounds, three assists, three steals and a block. Tajion Jones had nine points, five rebounds and two steals.
The Robertsville junior varsity boys also won as nine players scored to defeat Clinton 54-32. Herbert Booker led all Rams with eight points. Jayven Booker had six steals.
Robertsville is off until this Thursday when they host Norris in their last game before the holiday break.

Last year, I started a series of infographics about YA book covers, mostly as a tongue-in-cheek reaction to the Wall Street Journal's "Darkness in YA" controversy. But the further I got into compiling statistics, the more alarmed I became at the covers' monochrome approach to models. All total, I found 224 white girls-- and only nine of any other race or ethnicity.
Nine. As compared to at least 30 white girls in fancy dresses.
So this year, I decided to widen my search. Starting with The Elevensies and this Goodreads list of 2011 YA releases, I looked at 900+ covers, focusing only on US releases within the 2011 calendar year.* Originally, I planned to count every self-published, indie, Big 6, or other book on the list... but somewhere in the 600s I started losing my mind and decided to keep stats only on presses whose acquisitions are announced in Publisher's Marketplace. This still left me with 624 "traditionally published" books to count.
As you can see, last year's finding that YA covers are no more "dark" than they are "light" still stands.
And while it's not an exact count, this chart gives you a general idea of how self-published covers compare in hue.
But the color diversity ends there.
I had hoped that without "gatekeepers," self-publishing and indie presses would make up some of the ground in minority representation. Instead, out of the 200+ non-PW titles I surveyed, not a single one appears to portray a person of color.
Now, I realize this chart is not representative of all self-published and indie titles. A real assessment of self-published titles should start with Amazon (if anyone cares to take that on, I'm glad to spread the word of your results!). It's likely the chart says more about Goodreads voters*** than it does about representation-- but that possibility doesn't cheer me up much either.
So how are the gatekeepers doing?
Better... but not great.
Last year's counting was overly complicated; this year, I counted each model individually-- for example, a cover with two white girls and one latina would be counted three times overall, but my divisor of 624 remained the same. There's certainly a margin of error present in my perceptions, my questionable eyesight, and the sheer overwhelming mess of a 900+ line spreadsheet, but still.** Even if you can think of two or three examples I missed (and I hope you can!), this is just dismal.
Of the groups represented enough to show up in a pie slice, black characters/models are not only fewest in number, they're barely even on their own covers.
Latin@ and Asian characters/models do slightly better-- not much increase in numbers, but at least they're allowed to look at the camera.
It probably goes without saying that MENA, Native American, Indian, and other races/ethnicities fare the worst.
You might notice I haven't mentioned disability. That's because any visual representation = 0. Not even a token wheelchair.
There is one obvious LGBTQ cover included (on both the Asian and Latin@ charts); for more statistics, check out Malinda Lo's charts from September.
I don't think the representation failings of modern publishing are the fault of any one person or group. Authors, agents, editors, marketing, designers, book buyers, stores, libraries, teachers, students, and readers all bear some responsibility, but I present these charts with the intention of furthering a collective discussion, not to lay blame.
Thankfully, there are lots and lots of extant posts for you to read and consider regarding the causes of these trends. It seems like I link one every single week in the YA Highway round up; if you're not a follower, here are a few from the past couple of months:
- Ellen Oh: "Why The Pretty White Girl YA Book Cover Trend Needs To Stop"
- Stephanie Kuehn: "Thoughts on Trayvon Martin: Continuing the Discussion on Race and YA Covers"
- LibraryFanGirl: "The Whitewashing of YA Literature"
- Adios Barbie: "Why Are We Still Whitewashing?"
- Geekquality: "Hollywood Whitewashing (Yes, It Really Hurts)"
- Malinda Lo: "Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover"
- Sharon G. Flake at the NYT: "There Need to Be More Nonwhite Protagonists"
- Rachel Stark: "Cover Trends in YA Fiction: Why the Obsession with an Elegant Death?"
That should get you started.
Also: I said this last year in the small print, but some readers missed it, so this year I'm saying it big and bold: I am a big 'ole hypocrite straight white middle class girl who's written two unpublished books about straight white middle class girls. But they aren't the only books I'll ever write (and I haven't finished a third since last year's post). In the meantime, I am trying to be an ally in the best way I know how. Suggestions for improvement are always welcome.
So! As a community, we suck at race and ethnicity. How are we doing in terms of gender? Well, if you're looking at sheer numbers, then ladies, we are doing awesome.
I mean, sure, 20% of our models appear to be missing a limb or part of a head, but at least a couple of guys get the axe treatment too.
And only 15.5% are turned away from the camera... which is up 5.5 from last year, but that's not a big deal...
And there's nothing inherently wrong with 14% of the ladies wearing a fancy dress...
Unless you compare that 14% to the aforementioned 3% or so that makes up the entirety of our POCs, in which case it's a little alarming.
But hey! Only about 6.6% of our girls appear to be dead this year! Which is... still more than our POC representation! But only 1% are actively drowning! So... that's... kind of a win?
Honestly, I really don't think there's anything inherently wrong with girls in dresses or artfully cropped shots or even otherwordly underwater pictures.
But the dead girl thing. That really wears on me.
I haven't updated last year's "girliness" charts because I think between the color breakdown above and the object breakdown below, you can draw your own conclusions. But I will make a few observations:
- Filigree. It's so hot right now.
- Flowers. Only half as hot as filigree.
- It turns out there's only one "l" in filigree but the object chart crashes my computer every time I open it so I'm not going to edit the image. Please forgive me, grammar gods.
- Trees, water, hearts, moons, snow, sparkles, blood, necklaces, the ocean, birds, fire, grass, stars, leaves, reflections, clouds, and hands are the other most popular cover images. I thought butterflies and masks would figure much higher. (Also, I did some dumb things like counting trees and branches separately. Same with swords, blades, and daggers. Your mathematical mileage may vary.)
The discussion in last year's comments was pretty thorough, and I'm not sure there's much more to add here (though feel free to weigh in, provided it's done respectfully -- my troll tolerance is non-existent). Relevant links are also welcome.
Thanks for reading, and if you write a response or related post, link it below or submit it for Friday's round up!

* This meant several of The Elevensies were excluded, as their release dates were actually late December 2010.
** Obviously compiling charts such as these puts me in the uncomfortable position of judging who looks "black/asian/latin@ enough" to "count." As such, I've taken book blurbs and plot descriptions into account in an effort to make sure my own perceptions and prejudices are balanced as much as possible.
*** I am one of those voters, as are pretty much all my friends. Nobody get your panties in a twist.
**** I know authors don't have much say in their covers. Where possible, I've purposely used books that belong to friends or that I've recommended, because I don't want anyone to feel like I'm picking on their title or cover.
***** All original cover images are copyright their various holders.
****** An analysis of character, author, and publishing professional race/ethnicities would be a really helpful corollary to these charts, but short of finding a job that pays me to read and track all these books, it's just not in the cards (honestly, I don't think even these charts are in the cards for next year, unfortunately-- my family wants me to pay attention to them or something? I don't even know.)
Let me know if you want to be my wealthy benefactor, however. I am ALL ABOUT IT.

Throughout the storied career of the Neosho track and field program, there isn't much that hasn't already been accomplished in the 30-plus years of the program.
Throughout the storied career of the Neosho track and field program, there isn't much that hasn't already been accomplished in the 30-plus years of the program.
But on Saturday, four Neosho boys added their names to the record books and are believed to be the only ones to ever accomplish this feat. Justin McKee, Darrian Guillory, Isaac McMaster and Ryan Taylor are believed to be the first foursome ever to qualify both boys sprint relays — the 4x200 meter and 4x100 — in the same season to the MSHSAA State Championships in Jefferson City, Mo.
In doing so, the team also broke the school record in the 4x200, a record that stood for 13 years, with a time of 1:30.30 — besting the old time of 1:30.50.
"When they crossed (the finish line) I looked at my watch and I knew there was no question they broke it," Wildcats coach Zac Nelson said. "That was one of our goals: number one being giving ourselves a chance to advance, and another was to try to break that record. That says a lot about our team speed."
The group brought home fourth in the 4x100 with a time of 43.89.
Five of the nine competitors the Wildcats took to the Class 4, Sectional 3 meet qualified for state.
After not clearing 6-foot all season, senior Logan Davidson set a personal record with a height of 6'4 to finish third and qualify for state in the high jump. McKee will compete in three events next week as he also qualified in the long jump with a distance of 21'2.75, good for fourth place.
Of the Wildcats to just miss the cut, both Kylee Hulsey and Tiffany Gilford finished fifth, respectively, just one place shy of a medal. Hulsey actually jumped the same height as state qualifier Brooke Stanfield (Republic) at 5'3, but lost the tiebreaker on missed attempts. Gilford took fifth in the 100 hurdles with a time of 16.34.
Sydnie Lowe, meanwhile, finished sixth in the girls' 300 hurdles with a time of 49.16, and McMaster, despite running his best time of the year, ran against a deep field of competition and took seventh in the boys' 300 hurdles.
As a team, the boys finished 10th with 25 points.
"It warmed up and it was a perfect day," Nelson said. "There was a little bit of a headwind, but otherwise it was really a pretty good day to run, and I think the times reflect that.
"While we would have liked to have taken three more (kids) to state, the thing is they all ran their best, or as close to their best, performance. They did their best today and, in some cases, we got beat. But they still gave it their best."
Praising his team's resolve and focus, Nelson said he might have felt more nerves than any Wildcat competitor at sectionals.
"I was nervous today, and I thought we had some big-time opportunities in front of us," Nelson said. "I feel like the sectional meet is more pressure-packed. There are eight teams and they're all pretty good. I'm really excited. It was just a good day."
The MSHSAA State Track and Field Championships for Class 3 and Class 4 run May 24-25 at Dwight T. Reed Stadium on the campus of Lincoln University in Jefferson City.

A new take on Genealogy and a very polished blog to boot. Welcome to "The Catholic Gene". Just look at these bloggers …
Jasia (Creative Gene), Donna Pointkouski who also writes What's Past is Prologue, Stephen Danko, Sheri Fenley, Lisa (Smallest Leaf), Lisa A. Alzo, Denise Levenick, Craig Manson, and Ceil Jensen. That's not a blog, that's a full blown Polish Genealogy Conference!
I had seen mention of it via my rootsweb genealogy mailing lists, then I saw it pop up on my iGoogle Genealogy Page. I had to check it out after reading Creative Gene (see my blog roll — in fact most of these people are on it). Naturally, Stanczyk's curiosity was piqued by the blog roll entry, "The Curt Jester" — clever.
Make this a part of your Sunday ritual, its good for the soul and should be good for your genealogy too.

I got my Facebook invitation from Geneablogger to take part in this week's challenge. Being new to this genealogy blogging thing I wasn't sure what it was all about apart from I guessed giving something back to the genealogy community.
So I clicked on the links in the Facebook message.
Like most other researchers I have used Family Search for many years – especially for IGI information. I must admit that I hadn't given much thought to all the work that goes in to the indexing of the various records. Just grateful that someone has done it.
However today I signed up to be an indexer for Family Search and completed my first five batches. I intend to make this a regular task. It didn't take long – only perhaps and hour or so. That's not much time to give to such vital work for genealogists now and in the future.
If you haven't signed up then go to the Family Search website and have a look.
I also clicked on another link to Random Acts of Genealogical Kindness.
RAOGK is a global volunteer organisation with over 4000 volunteers in every US state and many international locations. Volunteers take time to do everything from looking up local records to taking pictures of tombstones for other researchers who are unable to get to a particular place – perhaps because it's in another country.
So I've volunteered to take photographs of tombstones in cemeteries in West Yorkshire (England).
I feel as though I have done something really worthwhile today – must reward myself with a glass or two of something alcoholic tonight. Maybe best not to do any indexing afterwards.

Genco closing Lebanon County warehouse
Pittsburgh-based logistics firm Genco in January plans to close its facility in Lebanon County, according to a notice filed with the state Department of Labor and Industry.
The permanent closure of the warehouse at 2869 William Penn Highway in Bethel Township will include the layoff of 70 employees, according to the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification, or WARN, letter filed with the state. The layoffs are expected to begin Jan. 18.
The WARN letter does not specify the reason for the warehouse closing. Genco representatives did not immediately return calls for comment.
In 2006, Genco upgraded the 550,000-square-foot warehouse with new technology, including robotics, radio frequency identification, or RFID, and hands-free voice technology to help workers process orders. The company spent about $5 million that year to upgrade its warehouses.
Genco is a third-party logistics provider with 130 operations in the U.S., Canada and Mexico, including about 38 million square feet of managed warehousing space, according to the company. It manages the movement of more than $1.5 billion worth of freight annually.

Debbie Elliott
After a stint on Capitol Hill, NPR National Correspondent Debbie Elliott is back covering the news in her native South.
Based in Alabama, Elliott's reporting has ranged from hurricanes and oil spills to industry and politics. Her coverage of the BP oil spill in 2010 and its aftermath focus on the human impact of the spill, the government's response and the region's recovery. In 2010, she launched a series on Morning Edition and All Things Considered, "The Disappearing Coast," which examines the history and culture of south Louisiana, the state's complicated relationship with the oil and gas industry and the oil spill's lasting impact on a fragile coastline.
Elliott has covered the efforts to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina and the other storms that have hit the coast. She also tracks what the economic downturn means for states and municipalities, and whether the federal stimulus package is helping. In Elliott's political reporting, she watches vulnerable Congressional seats and follows southern governors who have higher political aspirations.
While based in Washington, D.C., Elliott covered Congress and was part of NPR's 2008 election team. She co-hosted late election night returns, reported live from the floor of the Democratic National Convention in Denver and broadcast from the grounds of the US Capitol during the Inauguration of President Barack Obama.
Elliott is a former weekend host of NPR's All Things Considered. In that role she interviewed a variety of luminaries and world leaders, including Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Liberian President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf. She celebrated the 40th Anniversary of "Alice's Restaurant" with Arlo Guthrie, and mixed it up on the rink with the Baltimore's Charm City Roller Girls. She profiled the late historian John Hope Franklin and the children's book author Eric Carle.
Since joining NPR in 1995, Elliott has covered the re-opening of Civil Rights-era murder cases, the legal battle over displaying the Ten Commandments in courthouses, the Elian Gonzales custody dispute from Miami, and a number of hurricanes, from Andrew to Katrina. On Election night in 2000, Elliott was stationed in Tallahassee, Fla., and was one of the first national reporters on the scene for the contentious presidential election contest that followed. She has covered landmark smoker lawsuits, the tobacco settlement with states, the latest trends in youth smoking and tobacco-control policy and regulation. She's been to a Super Bowl, the Summer Olympics and baseball spring training.
Born in Atlanta, Elliott grew up in the Memphis area and graduated from the University of Alabama College of Communication. She's the former news director of member station WUAL (now Alabama Public Radio).
Elliott lives in south Alabama with her husband and two children.

I died....and then returned
Posted 10 May 2012 - 11:07 PM
I was taken to the hospital and spent the next two days in ICU. After they couldn't figure out what had happened to me, I was transferred to a main floor for observation. After the transfer I was at the edge of the bed cleaning up a bit. The next thing I experienced was voices, overhead lights moving past, severe pain in my face and the realization I was moving on a gurney. As I became more aware of my surroundings and asked ,"What Happened?"; I was told I did a face plant on the floor and was going for a CAT scan. My next brilliant question was "Huh?" I had a massive heart attack and was told my heart rhythm had been "incompatible with life". Technically, I was dead for several minutes. They administered CPR and had to hit me several times with a defibrillator to bring me back.
No tunnels of light, no visions of the next world, no passage of time, nothing, it was like turning a light switch off and then back on while I was on the gurney (probably for the best as I was told that I flopped around alot from the defibrillator and probably wouldn't want to remember that anyway LoL). Frankly, it wasn't what I would have expected. Slowly I have come to realize that the Bible, and Jesus Himself, referred to death many times as "sleeping".
If my experience was typical, then the following begs to be answered: During my paranormal investigations I photographed, recorded and interacted with non-corporeal entities. To myself and "sensitives" I worked with, these entities presented themselves as human; However, we never could conclusively prove if they were human, or nonhuman.
If we "sleep" when we die then the entities we interacted with had to be nonhuman and they must therefor have an agenda. What is it? I don't know for sure, but I do know that everyone we met that was "ghost hunting" was ALWAYS drawn deeper and deeper into the occult. Perhaps this is the purpose in itself?
I cannot say that this is what definitely happens to everyone who dies, I can only base my conclusions on my own near-death experience and logical deduction from several years of paranormal investigation.
Just something to think about............

i'm so glad they were able to bring you back and clearly your work here on earth with us mortals is not over. i just wonder however, if you have to be crossed over for a longer period of time than you were. now please do not feel obligated to test that theory.
sorry, don't know how to edit original post i made. i meant to say i wonder if you have to be crossed over longer than you were to wake up over there and discover things. say when we ghost hunt and find things, maybe those folks have been dead longer than a day.

That is a pretty interesting experience FlyigOrb. With my limited knowledge, that experience makes me wonder about the other side and various leveles on existence. Theosophy clearly explains what could have this been.
Theosophy? I'm not familiar with that. Care to elaborate on it a bit Moon?
Hello Queen, You could be right. I was only dead for a matter of minutes. As always I don't have any answers- just more questions. LoL I do know the experience brought me closer to my God and Family. In fact my family has all been drawn closer by it too.
Posted 13 May 2012 - 01:47 PM
Theosophy comes from Greek meaning divine wisdom. "The goal of theosophy is to explore the origin of divinity and humanity, and the end of world, life and humanity. From investigation of those topics theosophists try to discover a coherent description of the purpose and origin of the universe."
Also, I never felt it more appropriate to say welcome back.

Thanks Queen,
I hope I don't get the chance to test the "dead for 3 days" thing! LoL. I am starting to notice some Bible scholars talk about us sleeping in death and not having a sense of passing time. It would be logical. Flip the switch off and the next thing you know would be the resurrection, no matter how many years from now it happens. It would seem immediate to the dead person, the same way I experienced several minutes without a conscientious sense of time passage. You two be well too.

she claimed that her father died for 2hours and lived again ...
.. I for one don't believe in Christianity and the story that when you die a light guide you to the heavens.. I imagine death to be dark, sorrowful, and oblivious.

If you are interested in reading up, a good place to start is with PMH Atwater who has researched this subject for 40 years, as she had at least 3 NDEs herself. Her latest and last book on the subject is
"Near-Death Experiences, the rest of the story"
I just recently watched a DVD with her talk as she calls it "NDE as a Threshold Experience". I certain believe that NDEs and NDE-like experiences are life changing as there is a brain shift.
Nice name you have by the way, flyingorb!
Posted 14 June 2012 - 11:23 PM
Interesting story, thanks for posting the link. I don't dispute what her Father experienced. I can only relate what I experienced. Only thing I can be sure about is that it is likely we all will eventually have our own experience as we pass through the dark veil..
Hi Puti
Thanks for the suggestion. I have a serious flaw with a skeptical nature though. That's why I originally went into paranormal investigation and only trusted results that I personally experienced and pulled/recorded from my own equipement. Anytime I see someone making money their claims become suspect, but hey that's just me. LoL The name came from several years ago when I was heavily involved in paranormal near infrared research and had my own website. Initially I envisioned we would travel where we willed in an energy efficient spherical shape after death, so Flyingorb seemed appropriate. Now, I doubt that and based on my own experience I think it's "lights out" when we die, until God revives us sometime in the future.
I wish you both well

Blessings to you on your journey!

Theosophy? I'm not familiar with that. Care to elaborate on it a bit Moon?
Orbie, according to wikipedia
Theosophy (from Greek θεοσοφία theosophia, from θεός theos, divine + σοφία sophia, wisdom; literally "divine wisdom"), refers to systems of esoteric philosophy concerning, or investigation seeking direct knowledge of, presumed mysteries of being and nature, particularly concerning the nature of divinity.
Theosophy is considered a part of the broader field of esotericism, referring to hidden knowledge or wisdom that offers the individual enlightenment and salvation.
According to the Theosophical teachings, we (the soul) have many bodies, the physical body is one of them. the other bodies are Astral Body, Emotional Body, Mental Body (and further). It is all about the concentration of energy where it manifest as matter which differentiates each body, and the more less dense the matter is, the more finer and easy the body is. Apart from these, we also have an Etheric Body, which overlays the physical body. The Eteric Body is also called the Etheric Double, which has all the features of the hysical body but is also one that can dettached from the physical plane. Dopplegangers are usually this body of the person that appears in another time and place. (Also the departed spirit that appears to near and dear ones after immediete death). Mostly at the time of trauma, the ehtreic Body dislodges from the physical body and can retain the memories of those moments and brings them into our physical brain. Perhaps, This is what happend with you as well.
In effect what we call "death" is merely the act of disintegrating the physical body, the existence continues in the other planes for many more years and the soul evolve.

Can ghost's answer the phone?
Posted 31 March 2008 - 01:52 PM
Posted 31 March 2008 - 02:35 PM
I don't see why it's not possible. I've heard stories of phones ringing in haunting cases where the only person on the other end is a ghost/spirit. So why not the other way around?
Welcome to Ghost Village by the way!

Posted 01 April 2008 - 07:53 AM
I played with n ouija baord at 13, and often, usualy every 2 or 3 days, wede get 13 phone calls, with nothing but static on the callers end. Never happned to s before, or after, only when we played with the board. Maybe he felt the package, was unfinished business. maybe on the other side, he is testing harmlessly, what he is capable of and all.
Posted 01 April 2008 - 09:17 PM
These two worked at the shop together? If so, this is very possible that he indeed answered the phone. Was this some sort of auto parts business? Sorry I have to ask, I get strong visuals sometimes.
Send me a PM and let me know.....not sure but I am getting more and would like to help and make sense to you and your friends.
Posted 02 April 2008 - 09:22 AM
I wish I had a ghost to answer my calls. I wouldn't need a machine and they could scare away the telemarketers and bill collectors.

no it wasn't an auto parts business. and they did'nt work together.Erich just used to hang out there and answer the phone when Rick was busy.
Posted 02 April 2008 - 10:33 PM
Wow, what a wild experience. I'm sorry about the loss of your friend. There are a lot of people who believe ghosts draw energy from their surroundings to manifest and that they communicate sometimes in various ways through interacting with electronic things. I guess it could be possible for them to speak over the phone. I've heard of it happening before. There might be a mistake with the companies records about when the call was made though. But when you add in the other things going on, it certainly makes the whole thing interesting.
I wish I had a ghost to answer my calls. I wouldn't need a machine and they could scare away the telemarketers and bill collectors.
To make things even stranger, yesterday we recieved his cell phone back from the police department. While my friend was cleaning it and trying to get to work all of a sudden my cell phone showed that I had a mobile IM..I wasn't signed into Yahoo but I received a message from someone I did'nt know with the same last name as him. To many coincidences. I know he is with us still I just wish there was a way for us to be able to talk to him. We have so many unanswered questions that only he can answer.

It is also recommend to have this machine on a separate line than your current line that you have. Once this is all set up, you simply ask them to call and talk to you and even give out your number to them.
With time and patience they WILL come through and some of the messages will be very hard to hear while others will come through crystal clear.
But as I said before, this will take a lot of time and patience on your part to introduce them to the new system. For some this works very well, while others produce no results at all. This is something you have to do every day and continuously talk to them aloud and ask for them to talk to you. In Todds research he found that it may take long for the first contact but once they learn your system is there for them, they will call you quite frequently.
The reason it is best to use the analog tape is so you can remove it and have the EVP analyzed for its authenticity. With a digital machine you are forced to recording the information on another medium and this will distort the EVP from its original state and change its Hertz level.

This whole thing makes perfect sense. I have heard of Spirits from the Other Side actually placing phone calls, and it would be a great way for a Spirit to get through, as they seem to draw energy from electrical appliances. "Ever heard of Frank's Box"? It is sort of a Telephone to the dead. I have seen some of these devices on eBay, and I am probably going to get one for myself, as I do Paranormal Investigations. It would be interesting if you or someone you know had gotten a hold of one to see if you can make more contact. It just may help to answer some of your questions. Good Luck, Elaine
Good for ghost box funtionality ... Digital AM/FM Pocket Radio from RadioShack
Model: 12-469 | Catalog #: 12-469 . $24.99
This radio can be modified to allow for sweeping the bands. This can be used for ghost box functions via raw audio. Open the unit and with a wire cutter clip off the 5th pin from the left at its base. This will allow the unit to scann the frequencies continuously. Use an audio patch cord to connect your digital recorder from its mic outlet to the ear outlet on the radio.
It's not very costly and worth a shot. Frank's Box is based on this same concept.

I would have to agree with everyone here. That a sprit can answer a phone.
If it is the case, he was probably just helping out as usual.
The loss of someone so close is terrible, and to know that there passing was at there own hand must be extremely frustrating.
Since you are certain you and your friends are being visited by Erich, you may want to express your thoughts and feelings to him. Ask your questions. Say the things you need to say. And ask him to go into the light, to find the peace he didn't find in life.
My deepest sympathy for your loss.
Be happy while you're living, for you're a long time dead.*-- Scottish Proverb

What an awesome start, but there are sure to be some additions. Did anyone else notice on the little T.V. on the right that said Fleet Foxes (which we already know are going to be there), The Shins and Death Cab for Cutie? Possible additions? We will have to see in the coming weeks...

Looks awesome!! Here's hoping The Shins get added!
- February 17, 2009 at 7:07 AM
There is no way Jane's Addiction is headlining above NIN is there? They better have the same amount of set time.
- February 17, 2009 at 8:58 AM
Am I the only one who is dissapointed here? I'm not claiming to know the first thing about what goes into producing a music festival. However, for the sake of argument let's weigh out the pros and cons of this years line up.
PROS: There are a lot of solid acts in the middle area. M. Ward, Doves, Silversun Pickups, School of Seven Bells, M83, Sun Kil Moon, Yeah Yeah Yeah's, PB&J, Calexico, Explosions In the Sky, The Do Do's are all amazing acts that I look forward to seeing.
CONS: Where's the big name Hip Hop act (Kanye, Public Enemy, Jay-Z) or Electronic act (Chemical Brthers, MSTRKFT, DJ Shadow)???
KoL as a headline act???!!! Sorry, but they're not worthy..... Wow! Good luck keeping people around for that set on a school night! Jane's Addiction could be epic but they better be playing their songs better than Perry was doing them with Satellite Party! Ben Harper as the headliner on the last night? Let's not forget all the repeat acts here either. NIN = 2006, Ben Harper = 2006, The Decemberists = 2006, TV on the Radio = 2006, Fleet Foxes = 2008 (twice!), Calexico = 2003, Viva Voce = 2007.
My predicition is that ticket sales for this years festival will be very poor.
- February 17, 2009 at 9:24 AM
"Wow! Good luck keeping people around for that set on a school night!" - Was meant to be in regards to Ben Harper not KoL...
- February 17, 2009 at 9:28 AM
- Aaron said...
The Headliners are sub-par, but the mid tier looks fantastic. Hopefully they announce more headliners - Kings of Leon and Ben Harper are not up to par (compared to Bjork and Flaming Lips, who ruled). That 'official' link is now dead, so maybe they're still adding acts.
- February 17, 2009 at 9:34 AM
um...it's actually spelled Santogold not Santigold. That's embarrassing...but other than that this looks like an awesome lineup!!
- February 17, 2009 at 9:43 AM
No it's actually Santogold, they changed their name. Also, the lineup looks sick but I'm suprised that KOL pulled the headline spot away from the decemberists. Not only are the decemberists a great live but but their from the Northwest which I thought would give them the upper hand.
Can't wait for Animal Collective
- February 17, 2009 at 9:45 AM
I also saw on http://www.msbands.com that Smoosh may be playing?
I hope The Shins get added too

am i the only one that can only see last years lineup on the official site?
- February 17, 2009 at 9:56 AM

"CONS: Where's the big name Hip Hop act (Kanye, Public Enemy, Jay-Z) or Electronic act (Chemical Brthers, MSTRKFT, DJ Shadow)???"
The Knux/Chromeo/Girl Talk
Maybe I am part of the minority, but I think the lineup is excellent. You can't have everything you want in the same year! Not to mention that just BEING there is the best part of it all.
- February 17, 2009 at 10:24 AM
- Matt said...
I just want to say that i live less than an hour from the gorge and am dissapointed again this year with the lineup. I will be attending it just cause i live that close. It seems like there is less and less thought put into this every year and what we get are 2nd tier bands as headliners, Ben Harper? Kings Of Leon? NIN? really weak. As for Janes Addiction, They were good in 1990 just like all the crap that was there last year, the cure, REM. At least KOL has put out some meaningful music in the last couple years. not my taste but there are plenty of people that like them. I guess what im saying is that being a band on this ticket is like winning a gold medal in the special olympics.
- February 17, 2009 at 10:51 AM
The link provided here is now pointing to a blank page. Similarly, www.sasquatchfestival.com has been updated with the new banner and a "coming soon." So I wonder if that original page was a bit premature?
I like KOL, but agree they are not really headliner material. I think Jane's / NIN is pretty awesome though. And don't get me started on another Ben Harper set. Boring, and been done at Sasquatch. Solid mid-card... I would go for Saturday and Sunday as it stands now. But I'm kind of thinking when the new website is launched we will see some other big names.
p.s. "Santogold" changed her name to "Santigold / Santi White" due to a trademark / copyright issue.

animal collective m83
yeah yeah yeahs!
passion pit
black moth super rainbow
girl talk
I know i will definetly be dancing my booty off!
Fuck yeah!
- February 17, 2009 at 12:26 PM
The only band that has me super excited is Explosions in the Sky. Mainly because they haven't played a show in a long time, so I will go for them.
- February 17, 2009 at 12:36 PM
- hemlockz said...
You think no Kanye is a CON? Trust me, Kanye sucks at festivals. Look up his Bonnaroo appearance last year. He's a complete tool and crybaby. His crew actually unplugged Pearl Jam then took all night to set up his stage. By the time he started all his fans were too drunk or tired of waiting. The sun was coming up by the time his "glow in the dark" set finally got underway for about 2000 people. What a tool.
- February 17, 2009 at 12:37 PM
I'm ridiculously stoked, i think the line-up is fantastic!!!
seriously, like 3/4s of my favorite bands are playing!
- February 17, 2009 at 1:12 PM
This will be my first time going, so I was wondering if they only sell a certain amount of those $154 3 day discounted pass on the weekend of Feb 28? Do we need to buy as soon as they go on sale on Saturday, or will they sell from the general pool at that price until Sunday @ Midnight?
- February 17, 2009 at 1:16 PM
- Bryce Murphy said...
The headliners are definitely disappointing. Three of my favorite bands headlined last year, and I doubt I'll stick around for any of them this year. Still, TV on the Radio, Explosions in the Sky, Nine Inch Nails, The Decemberists, Animal Collective, Grizzly Bear, Fleet Foxes, Calexico, Sun Kil Moon, Bon Iver, The Gaslight Anthem, Mt. St. Helens Vietnam Band, and Horse Feathers will get me to the Gorge.
- February 17, 2009 at 1:52 PM
Headliners Schmeadliners. Looking at my favorite performances from last year's festival, none of them were from the headliners. When you look at festivals, remember: you realistically can only see 1/3 of the acts anyway, so if you really like half of the lineup, it's going to be worth it to go. I'm lukewarm on KOL, Ben Harper, NIN, Jane's Addition, YYY. I don't really like any of them, but I still think the festival is first rate. I love R.E.M. and like the Cure, but in no way did they steal the show last year.
- February 17, 2009 at 2:29 PM
- andrew said...
okay, i definitely agree with walterrocks on this one... kings of leon, jane's addiction, and ben harper as headlining bands? what the hell is that?!?! where's arcade fire, white stripes, sonic youth, wilco... did sasquatch give up on this year? the majority of these bands are pretty good... don't get me wrong, but the headlining bands should be the real selling point and that just didn't happen this year. this festival shouldn't settle for such mediocrity given the past bands.
- February 17, 2009 at 2:34 PM
I'm totally okay with janes/nin and i like KOL and yeah yeah yeahs, but neither of those two seem like headliner material. Ben Harper is amazingly dull and totally not in demand. I am really excited about most of this lineup, but it sounds like a lot of people could totally do without ben harper
- February 17, 2009 at 2:42 PM
- tmartillo said...
Basically this line up looks like Capitol Hill Block Party 2008 on a bigger stage.
- February 17, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Like it or not... KOL are selling out Arenas all over the world (MSG, O2). So they are a headliner act.
- February 17, 2009 at 3:38 PM
I really hope Death Cab and the Shins get added. Preferably on Saturday...hint hint hint hint. That would be the ultimate day; DCFC, The Shins, KoL, YYY....Please?

I am not sure if this was meant for me, but if it was my source is Travis Hay (aka Ear Candy) who sent me the link to the temporary site, which he received through a press release e-mail, not through Coachella as you suggest.

im kinda afraid to go to Sasquatch this year... with all the winy people hanging out there,complaining about the acts, and bitching about bands they feel don't deserve the right to be there. Kinda freaks me out, i hope i watch the right bands perform so i don't upset the posters here. Ever think you'll walk out of the gorge a fan of a band you never knew you liked? TOOLS

- February 18, 2009 at 6:32 PM

I'm not going for the headliners, I tend to be more interested in newer bands. Last year I enjoyed REM, Flaming Lips and The Cure, but I liked Fleet Foxes, Beirut, Rodrigo y Gabriela, The National and The Kooks a whole lot more.
Newer isn't necessarily better, but for this old fart it certainly can be that way sometimes.
NIN, JA, and Ben Harper will be fun but I'm going this year to see others I enjoy lots such as Explosions, Sun Kil Moon, M83, Doves, Shearwater, Calexico, of Montreal, The Walkmen, Animal Collective, Silversun Pickups, Santagold, Fleet Foxes, Gogol Bordello, Grizzly Bear, and I suppose Kings of Leon because I don't know their music very much.
I thought Grizzly Bear was amazingly good in 2007, along with the Black Angels, Ghostland Observatory and The Helio Sequence. Bring on the new blood!

will possibly improve with addition of dcfc!

- February 20, 2009 at 9:08 AM
What happened to Peter Bjorn and John? They aren't on the lineup anymore. That is a major loss.
- February 22, 2009 at 9:41 PM
Neko Case better play or else i'm going to be really upset:(
My Morning Jacket would be a definite plus too...
- February 23, 2009 at 2:59 PM
Anyone know the presale password??
- February 24, 2009 at 1:49 PM
The presale password doesn't get you any special pricing, so might as well wait until 2/28 to buy your tickets. With this lineup, it ain't selling out right away!
But if you *really* wanna know, it's "stg".
- February 25, 2009 at 9:51 AM
Im stoked!!!.Put on the headphones and get all off keyboard all you negative music lovers/critics.
This is and always is a kick ass music festival in one of the most beautiful gorges in the world. See you all at Devotchka and K.O.L.!!

I can't believe some of you tards whining about the lineup. I know Janes hasn't been shoved down your throats for the last few years, but with Eric back I expect to have my mind blown. You suckers can watch the trendy bands and cut out early, I'll see an amazing show and I can get out of the parking lot faster with you gone.

i cant seem to find anything on how long a typical day goes for? Something like 1 PM to 1AM???????

Just heard about the fest, and there are enough great bands to get me really excited.
Still, I wish I could buy a three day pass, even if its not at a "discounted" rate anymore; I learned too late about the previous March 1st deadline. Making people now pay a TicketMaster upcharge for each single day ticket seems impractical. Is there any reason why both options (regular price three day and single day tix)aren't offered regularly?

This lineup rocks. Is there any way to pay for all three days worth of tickets? Ticketmaster charges $10 each time! Thats lame... Sorry, I'm new at this. Thanks!

there are some serious problems with the lineup this year... it would be nice if the sasquatch organizers thought through a little more with who would like to see what bands and not schedule them at the same time. such as, m83 and tv on the radio. it would be best if the innovative bands (ie, animal collective, grizzly bear) were put on one day and the throwback bands (ie, kings of leon, silversun pickups) were put on another day.
also, who cares about the decemberists anymore? is it just me or is colin meloy listening to way too much rush and yes! lately?

David Beckham left his kids in his Range Rover for an hour when we went to spin class in Brentwood. Hmm, this doesn't seem like a smart move...
