So there I was, making tongue-in-cheek statements on Twitter when I went and stuck my foot in my mouth, or so it seems. My offending statement was about applying for a bartender job in places where the idea of talented mixologists has yet to entrench itself. My exact words were: "Should I consider breast implants before applying for a bartending gig?" Considering… [Continue]

Born from the imaginations of two brothers running a flower shop, Edible Arrangements has grown from a single neighborhood storefront in Waltham, Massachusetts, to more than 1,100 locations throughout the globe, sending clusters of fresh fruit to deserving loved ones throughout North America, Europe, and Asia. Produce artisans arrange delicious bundles of candy-dipped apples, strawberries, and bananas alongside carved melon slices and morsels of orange, grape, and berry, combining the eye-catching color of a floral bouquet with every human's unconscious desire to feast on that bouquet. Guests stop in the store to enjoy fresh fruit smoothies and salad or pick up baskets to present to sweethearts, friends, or family in person. For web-based gift giving, helpful package tracking allows customers to keep tabs on their remotely ordered bounties of seasonal citrus bouquets and cocoa-covered berries.
Sometimes you love a garment so much you have to set it free. The open armed and stylish folks at Turn Style Consignment Stores know a gently used gem when they see one, and faithfully find a new home for them via 14 stores in the Twin City area and via the 5 stores in the Phoenix Valley. They consign second-hand garments, accessories, and home furnishings from casual sellers and convincing bridge trolls before lining their racks and shelves with the items. Many of their shoes and handbags hail from designer brands such as Gucci and Chanel, and their policy prohibits anything that's not from a designer, better department, or specialty story.
For more than 75 years, The Foursome Fine Apparel and Shoes has outfitted feet with dressy and casual footwear in everyday and hard-to-find sizes. Staffers pride themselves on impeccably attentive service and their ability to perfectly fit shoes to each foot, ensuring that customers won't have to put up with painful pinching or constant harassment from recruiters at the local clown college. Their selection spans the style spectrum from the structured silhouette of high-end oxfords to the beachy look of flip-flops, and it includes kicks from popular brands such as New Balance and Cole Haan.
The Tile Shop—as the name coyly suggests—specializes in tile for every imaginable surface and aesthetic style, making it easy for DIY handypeople to tackle small home projects, such as modernizing an avocado-green and penicillin-pink bathroom floor or re-grouting a small garden grotto. Underscore a kitchen with the appetizing orange of pirita siena ceramic tiles ($2.19 per square foot), then trim the counters in lizett beige ($3.99 each) for a complementary finish. Pick up a honeycomb pattern of hex matte black ($5.29 per square foot)—the quintessential backsplash for a gothy bumblebee—or add a touch of character to a small surface with a deep green verde butterfly mosaic ($11.99 per square foot). With its enormous selection of floor tiles, wall tiles, mosaics, and natural stone, the possibilities are as endless as a drive across Nebraska. The Tile Shop also has a plentiful selection of grout and tools for grouting it all together while grinning groutishly.
Inspired by the values of early America, Founding Fathers Brewing Co. was created to offer a premium domestic beer to compete with the products of foreign-owned breweries, all while giving something back to military families. According to the Greenville Journal, founder, president, and CEO Phil Knutsen's father, father-in-law, son, and college roommate all served in the armed forces, inspiring him to get involved. His company is also guided by the knowledge and experience of a military advisory board, and half of Founding Fathers' profits go to nonprofit organizations supporting families of U.S. Military personnel.
Brewers craft the company's homegrown beers in Latrobe, Pennsylvania, including a full-bodied lager and a golden, light version for sippers watching their waistlines or saving their calories for a whole apple pie. Customers can now find the bottles and cans in a growing number of locations across the country.
Twin Cities Local Food transforms grocery shopping into both an online and local experience. Members log on to the virtual marketplace to peruse a variety of goods from more than 20 local farmers and producers, such as organic tomatoes, cow's milk cheeses, and whole-grain breads. Each product is source identified, so shoppers know exactly where their food comes from, how it was grown or raised, and what its first words were. After finalizing their food order, customers then choose a pickup location from one of nine nearby towns, such as Plymouth or Minneapolis, in weekly intervals during growing season, and bi-weekly during the winter.

The first real trophy of the season goes to... Manchester City! But the favourites were pushed all the way at Wembley by a very impressive Sunderland side, who managed to boss the game -- and hold the lead -- for long periods of time.
More from our team sites
More from our team sites
The match began as you might expect from a clash between one of the Premier League's top sides and Sunderland. Manuel Pellegrini has access to a tremendous wealth of attacking options, and Sergio Aguero's return to fitness -- and therefore the starting lineup -- makes City even more dangerous. Within minutes, the Argentinian had given the Black Cats a scare, blasting in a shot from the edge of the box that Vito Mannone did well to save.
City had control, Sunderland were defending well and fighting for every blade of grass -- all very predictable. The David and Goliath narrative, however, was imploded in the 10th minute thanks to a gem of a goal by Fabio Borini. Lee Cattermole nicked possession from Fernandinho in the middle of the pitch, and Borini's run past Martin Demichelis was picked out in expert fashion by Adam Johnson. The striker was able to hold off Vincent Kompany's feeble challenge to get in on goal, and he finished off the move with a wonderful finish across Costel Pantilimon and in at the far post.
The goal should have woken City up, but it didn't. For the rest of the half, it was the Black Cats who were the more dangerous side, and they could easily have padded their lead before the break. Borini was foiled when in on goal by a magnificent recovering tackle from Kompany, who was also responsible for clearing away Johnson's cutback after the winger had embarrassed Demichelis on the byline. Sunderland, in fact, were playing so well that City ended resorting to playing on the counterattack.
But if Borini's game turned the game on its head, whatever Pellegrini said at halftime restored order. City's cadre of stars are capable of producing goals out of nothing, and 10 minutes into the second half, Yaya Toure did just that. The equaliser was absolutely stunning. 25 yards out, the Ivorian met a short pass from Fernandinho with a clipped finish that jumped over Mannone and dropped perfectly into the top corner.
It was a gorgeous strike, and Sunderland were still reeling from it when Samir Nasri grabbed a world-class goal of his own less than a minute later. Aleksandar Kolarov's cross was dangerous, but nobody was expecting Nasri to meet it first time with a shot. Especially not that shot -- the former Arsenal man rifled in a wonderful curling strike which clipped the far post on its way in. Usual service had been restored.
Sunderland responded well, but they didn't have the quality to further trouble Pantilimon, despite Gus Poyet throwing the likes of Steven Fletcher and Emmanuele Giaccherini into the fray. As time ticked away, City settled in, becoming more and more comfortable until they were finally able kill off the game through Jesus Navas, who swept home a counterattack in the 90th minute to secure the first silverware of the season.
Manchester City starting lineup (4-2-2-2): Costel Pantilimon; Aleksandar Kolarov, Martin Demichelis, Vincent Kompany, Pablo Zalaleta; Fernandinho, Yaya Toure; Samir Nasri, David Silva (Javi Garcia 77'); Edin Dzeko (Alvaro Negredo 87'), Sergio Aguero (Jesus Navas 57').
Goals: Yaya Toure 55', Nasri 56', Navas 90'.
Sunderland starting lineup (4-5-1): Vito Mannone; Marco Alonso, Wes Brown, John O'Shea, Phil Bardsley; Jack Colback, Sebastian Larsson (Steven Fletcher 60'), Ki Sung-Yueng, Lee Cattermole (Emmanuele Giaccherini 77'), Adam Johnson (Craig Gardner 60'); Fabio Borini.
Goals: Borini 10'.

Consumer confidence in the overall economy reached its highest level in nearly three years in January 2011, according to the latest figures released today by the Consumer Electronics Association (CEA). The CEA Indexes also show consumer confidence in technology reached an all-time high for the month of January.
For the sixth consecutive month, consumer confidence in the overall direction of the economy improved. The Index of Consumer Expectations (ICE) rose one point in January to 175.7. That's the highest the ICE has been since February of 2008. The ICE, which measures consumer expectations about the broader economy, is up more than nine points from this time last year.
"The economy continues to improve and individuals are taking note," said Shawn DuBravac, CEA's chief economist and director of research. "With consumer sentiment higher than it has been since early 2008, and six straight months of growth, consumers are feeling better about the economy and their financial futures."
Consumer confidence in technology is the highest it's ever been in the month of January, despite dropping from last month's record high. The CEA Index of Consumer Technology Expectations (ICTE) fell 5.6 points to 88.1 this month. The ICTE, which measures consumer expectations about technology spending, still recorded its highest level ever for the month of January and is up more than four points from this time last year.
The CEA Indexes comprise the ICE and ICTE, both of which are updated on a monthly basis through consumer surveys.

Getting more bang for your buck
Good news:
If you don't use your coupons before they expire, they're still worth the money you paid for them for an extra three months.
GrabOne FaceValue gives you another three months after your coupons expire, making it even easier to enjoy businesses all over New Zealand.
How does it work?
- A coupon is valid up until and including the expiry date printed on the coupon.
- If you don't use it before the expiry date for whatever reason, the coupon retains the value you paid for it for an additional three months.
- This means you can turn up to the business up to three months after the coupon has expired and put the money you spent to buy that coupon towards the service or experience printed on your coupon.
For example, if you spend $50 on a $100 dining voucher but don't use it before the expiry date, you will still be entitled to $50 worth of food and beverage services at that business for an additional three months.
The same goes for coupons without monetary values assigned to them. For example, if you buy a bungy jump deal but don't use it before the expiry date, you can still put the money you spent on the coupon towards a bungy jump, for another three months. Remember, the FaceValue of your coupon can only be put toward the service or experience printed on your coupon.
A few things to note:
- FaceValue applies to all deals that display the FaceValue icon. If the icon is not on a deal, FaceValue does not apply.
- It's always best to use your coupon before the expiry date, so you get the most value for your money. And if you're a bit forgetful, we now automatically remind you if your coupons are about to expire.
- During the FaceValue period, your coupon can only be put towards the service stated on the coupon.
- If the offer is seasonal, like a seasonal menu or chimney sweep service, the FaceValue of your coupon can be put towards a similar offer at the merchant's discretion.
- FaceValue does not apply to product deals, travel and accommodation-related deals, or time-dependent event deals.
- The conditions on your coupon still apply during the FaceValue grace period.

Depression: Help yourself
Resist alcohol and tobacco. Alcohol is a depressant; it will only add to your sorrows. Depressed people are more likely to smoke and to have a harder time quitting. A 1993 federal study found 54 percent of truckers light up, compared with 25 percent of all Americans. The health problems associated with smoking further contribute to depression.

Mitch and Aimee Dryer know what it's like to spend countless hours in the hospital. Three years ago, Mitch, a firefighter, was critically injured during a blaze. Together, the young couple faced the realities of life and death. That experience would be an important lesson for their next journey. After two years of trying to have a child they learned Aimee was pregnant with twins. When the babies were born much too soon, the Dryers found themselves facing the realities of life and death once again.

Denver, CO (Sports Network) - Dexter Fowler finished a home run short of the cycle, knocked in two runs and scored as the Colorado Rockies took down the Arizona Diamondbacks, 6-1, in the opener of a two-game set on Wednesday.
Starter Jamie Moyer became the oldest player in MLB history to record an RBI, plating two, while Jordan Pacheco collected two hits and scored twice to help Colorado win its second in a row.
Moyer (2-3) allowed a run on six hits with five strikeouts over 6 1/3 innings, while his counterpart Patrick Corbin (2-2) was charged with all six runs over six frames in the setback.
John McDonald went 2-for-4 with a double and a run scored for Arizona.
"We didn't have as good a command as we'd like to have," said Arizona manager Krik Gibson. "We just didn't play well at all and didn't give ourselves an opportunity to win the ball game."
The Rockies got off to an early start, scoring thrice in the second. A single and a walk set the stage for a run-scoring single by Pacheco and Fowler's two- run triple.
Moyer pushed the edge to 5-0 in the fourth when he beat out an infield single, bringing home Pacheco and Fowler.
"Off the bat I thought it was going to roll foul," said Moyer. "I hit it off the end of the bat and just thought it was going to go foul. I hesitated a bit then thought I should probably run."
Carlos Gonzalez popped a single to second after Tyler Colvin led off the fifth with a triple.
Pinch-hitter Cody Ransom doubled in McDonald in the top of the seventh, but Arizona got no closer.
Gonzalez has 30 runs batted in...Arizona went 1-for-10 with runners in scoring position and left eight on base...The probables for Thursday's finale are Trevor Cahill (2-4) for Arizona against Juan Nicasio (2-1).

Facebook copies social rival Twitter, adopts hashtags
#ohnoyoudidn't! Starting today, Facebook users can start to use Twitter-like hashtags
Computerworld - Taking a page from Twitter's playbook, Facebook today started to roll out the use of hashtags.
Hashtags used on Facebook will be clickable, just like they are on Twitter, wrote Greg Lindley, a product manager at Facebook, in a blog post. The hashtags are aimed at adding context to a post or making it part of a bigger online discussion.
Click on a Facebook hashtag and you'll see what other users and organizations are saying about the same topic.
"During primetime television alone, there are between 88 and 100 million Americans engaged on Facebook -- roughly a Super Bowl-sized audience every single night," wrote Lindley. "The recent 'Red Wedding' episode of Game of Thrones received over 1.5 million mentions on Facebook, representing a significant portion of the 5.2 million people who watched the show. And this year's Oscars buzz reached an all-time high on Facebook with over 66.5 million interactions, including likes, comments, and posts."
Now with hashtags, users should be able to search for a specific point of interest or discussion, such as #NBAFinals. They also should be able to compose posts directly on hashtag feeds and click on hashtags that originated on other sites, like Instagram.
"Hashtags are just the first step to help people more easily discover what others are saying about a specific topic and participate in public conversations," said Lindley. "We'll continue to roll out more features in the coming weeks and months, including trending hashtags and deeper insights, that help people discover more of the world's conversations."
"This is a good move by Facebook," said Dan Olds, an analyst with the Gabriel Consulting Group. "Many, if not most, Facebook users are already familiar with hashtags and how they work, so there won't be a learning curve there. With Facebook users utilizing hashtags, it will make it easier for the site to track trending topics, which can, in turn, give Facebook more attention from the press and advertisers."
The hashtag, a word or phrase with the # sign in front of it, enables users to pull up tweets or posts about a particular subject. For instance, this week, the hashtag #superman was a trending topic on Twitter as users posted and searched for comments about what is generally expected to be a summer blockbuster movie.
The hashtag has become one of Twitter's most recognizable symbols.

Bromley organizing $15 million ad campaign to urge Latinos to stay in school
Higher education
- Carol Schliesinger
Advertising guru Ernest Bromley is worried. The Hispanic market he worked in for decades, reports some concerning trends: Although geared to be the largest ethnic majority within the next 30 years, Latinos have the least education, and as the group grows, its education attainment levels remain stagnant.
What will San Antonio's future look like if the majority of its population does not speed up its quest to attain higher education standards?
Bromley, CEO of Bromley Communications — the largest Hispanic advertising agency in the U.S. — is ready to tackle the issue with a generational 15-year public service announcement campaign that markets the value of education to San Antonio Latinos. Bromley is petitioning the help of community leaders to raise by year-end the $15 million he believes ensures an effective campaign, with a working budget of at least $1 million a year. He declined to say how much he has raised so far.
The crash of 2040
By the year 2040, population shifts will cause a decline in education attainment levels in the state of Texas, according to forecasts by Texas state demographer, Steve Murdock, in his book "The New Texas Challenge: Population Change and the Future of Texas."
The problem arises when the population segment with the highest education levels, Anglos, begins to shrink. At the same time, Hispanics, the fastest-growing group by both birth rates and immigration, are not improving their education levels accordingly. The result? Education levels of the region will decline, as the fastest-growing population's education attainment stagnates.
"(Murdock) is basically forecasting a declining workforce scenario for Texas, unless we close the gap in terms of educational attainment levels, particularly among low-income Latinos," says Bromley. He recalls feeling angry when he first came across Murdock's data in 2003, as he saw the trends repeat themselves over three decades prior.

The world is full of connections. I was living in the hills of Nevada County just upslope from Grass Valley. I'm now living down here on the coast just south of Hearst Castle, built by William Randolph Hearst, the newspaperman who inspired Citizen Kane.
Cayucos Whirlpool
At the vacation house I was renting between homes this winter, I saw a Hiroshege print. Actually, I saw a jigsaw puzzle that had been glued together, framed and hung on a wall. I decided that if I ever got back to painting, I'd try to make my own version.
Well, here it is:
I tried to make the rocks look a little more like Whale Rock, though this time of year Whale Rock is almost all white, and the coast is more like the hills on the other side of the pier. True, the coast would be to the right of this view of Whale Rock, but we have cameras for reality, right?
Here's what it looks like hung on the wall:
Well, I found an app for my iPhone that lets me add posts from the phone. I'm not sure if this will increase my output or not, but it's with a try.
OK, so I've been slacking a bit and it's time to get back on the horse. I found myself writing a pretty rambling email to a friend this morning and I realized that my writing needs a bit of pruning. The best way to get back into writing habits is to write, and I don't really think it matters what.
I owe a post on the annual state of the Toaties, but I'll get to that later.
Here's what I did today: I dressed up a shed.
The house I bought down here in Cayucos was more expensive than I had hoped back when I was dreaming of finding a shack to improve, so I've not had the budget to dive into home construction projects that I thought I'd have. I haven't really done anything to the house since I ripped out the bathtub sliding doors. (Doesn't look like I made pictures of that. Goodness.)
Back in the yard with all the cactus plants, there is a ragged shed. I suspect it's unfinished because of the fear of permitting or something, but there's a shell of a shed that the former occupant used to store surfboards. It was covered with a tarp, wrapped entirely with black plastic, but underneath has a good frame. Here is what it looked like:
The blue tarp had gotten itself shredded by the wind and there are bits and pieces of blue plastic all over the yard. There isn't a lot of rain here and I'm just using it as a place to paint, but that black plastic is starting to get little rips and the tree from the neighbors yard has a good flail in every breeze, so I was sure it was going to split right open at some point.
In keeping with the not-a-real-structure thing, I decided to cover up the front with the kind of material you can use to reupholster outdoor furniture. Then I put a series of Ondura roofing panels on top. It's corrugated, but not nearly so shiny and cheap looking as plastic, in my humble opinion. And so now my shed looks like this:
I'm pretty happy with it. We'll see how it holds up to the weather.
4th of July - Cayucos, part 2
It was downright cold on the beach for the fireworks, but I trekked back to the house to find that I could actually see them from my balcony. I don't have any pictures of fireworks, though. Just pictures from earlier in the day.
The town had a parade. It was pretty impressive. It had all the usual things: classic cars, fire trucks, police cars, cheerleaders. There weren't any marching bands, but there were steel drums.
Down here on the coast, there was a lot more of a nautical flavor, with pirates:
and parrots:
and vikings:
It seems to me that surfers and skaters are obligatory in this part of California:
As are old VW Bugs, though this one belongs to a bunch of retired submariners. Did you know that the continental US had actually been attacked by the Japanese in WW2? I don't remember learning that in school, but apparently torpedoes were launched at Morro Bay and a tanker was sunk off of Cambria.
There were businesses, like the Brown Butter Cookie Company:
And avocado orchards:
I have no idea what these snacks were about. There's not a movie theater in town:
Every town needs a precision umbrella drill team:
But what I liked most about the parade was that it seemed like some of the participants were just families who wanted to be in the parade. This rather large group represented Nana's escapees:
They brought their own jail, complete with Elvis. There's a reporter getting folks' real names. When you work for a paper, you have to make sure you provide proper attribution.
There were smaller family groups, too. Like this incredibly cute representative from Oz:
But at the end of the day, the group that impressed my inner 7-year-old the most:
Yep. The gulls are doing what real life gulls are expected to do.
Oh, almost forgot. There was even a group in the parade especially for me:
4th of July - Cayucos, part 1
So, I'm going to make a post with pictures of the parade, but first I want to talk about chairs.
Way back on Monday, I saw the first ones.
These were out in front of the little market. Did I mention it was Monday? That was still June!
As the week went on, more chairs appeared.
By yesterday, there were rows and rows of chairs.
The town went chair crazy. None of them were really chained or anything, just tied together or draped with police tape. I think that was more to save extended space than to warn people off.
As I was walking up the street yesterday, SUVs were pulling up and unloading dozens of chairs each. Obviously, this wasn't just the locals being grumpy about their parking spots being taken over by the parade. This was bigger.
Indeed, one of my teammates sent me an LA Times article:
One day each year, this beach town of less than 3,000 residents becomes among the most populous places on the Central Coast.
Some 30,000 people show up for a parade featuring floats that locals have worked on for at least two or three days before the event, children doing cartwheels and — when they aren't otherwise booked — marching bands.
30,000 seems like it might be a high estimate, but it was crazy crowded this morning in Cayucos. This was shot today where the first chair picture was taken:
And the town seemed to absorb it okay, really. Everyone I saw was smiling and cordial. (We'll see how tonight goes after a day of drinking.) I think the layout of the town helps. Down here by the beach, the streets are a whole lot wider than up in Nevada City. We're just generally spread out more. And, of course, the beach absorbed a lot of people, too, once it was over. All in all, not a bad deal.
And several folks went the extra mile. If you're going to go to the trouble of reserving a spot, might as well make it nice:
Oh, and sadly, I was disappointed he bothered to save a chair but never showed up:
Parade and sand castle pictures later.

The Moon King (Neil Williamson)
It is the moonlight reflecting upon the waves around Whale Rock just off our shore that visitors to Cayucos exclaim about. But in the evenings I prefer to sit on my second floor deck. The view from there is of green hills rising above the rooftops of this beach town to which I've moved myself. I can also look down into my wee realm of nearly 200 square feet and see the giant cactus that grow in beds surrounded by the planking of a meandering deck, the sundial that needs perpetual tuning, and the two boys harassing lizards where I planted an avocado tree in a whisky barrel on the platform raised above the decking.
It's actually a whiskey barrel, having once held Kentucky bourbon, but I prefer to think of it without the 'e'.
I haven't lived here long enough to be sure yet, but I believe the green will soon be fading to brown as the brief rainy season is put behind us. Only last week, I received a tweet from the local fire brigade about a fire in a nearby river bed. There is something wrong with a world where river beds are appropriate places for wild fires.
I tell myself to ignore the desire to sing the Midnight Oil song aloud.
Living alone brings a matched set of pleasure and difficulty. One difficulty is restraining myself from talking to the cat, singing random snatches of song, and interacting with imaginary people. Some day I would like to rejoin society and I have no desire to crash land in it with a cart full of off-kilter behaviors. So I am doing my best to ignore the two boys crouched upon my deck near the avocado because they are but evidence of some unhealthy misfirings in my brain. And the worst part is that although my brain has invented them out of whole cloth, it refuses to remind me of the name of one of the boys.
Still, one cannot allow the local fauna to be terrorized by the figments of one's imagination, right? The ice clinks as I put my Godfather on the railing and walk down the spiral staircase to investigate. As always, I use a little technique I've come up with to ferret out what's going on in situations like this. I call it, 'asking questions'.
'Hey, what are you lot doing?'
Prasad doesn't bother to straighten his tie or stand when I interrupt. 'We are making luck lizards,' he explains.
'Obviously.' It's never wise to let your imaginary crowds think you aren't keeping up. 'And I assume you got the idea from some book. The true question is why are you making luck lizards?'
'Because there aren't any monkeys in this place, obviously,' pronounced the boy whose name I cannot remember. 'Have you thought of living somewhere else?'
'I have thought of living many places, but you and the rest of the imaginary crew always find me. I thought there'd be peace by the seaside.'
Prasad catches another lizard and places a coin in its mouth. He puts the lizard on top of the wooden fence between my yard and the one that seems to belong to the Dalmatian next door. When Prasad releases the lizard, it raises and lowers its feet in diagonal pairs, testing its freedom. Then it scampers away. It never drops the quarter.
When it comes to being inspired by books they read, I suppose a bit of trinket redistribution via lizard is not the worst they could have come up with after reading The Moon King, Neil Williamson's latest bit of weird fiction.
'I don't know if it qualifies as weird fiction,' Prasad tells me. 'It's rather gentle.'
'Gentle?' I'm surprised by the word. It feels right, but... 'But there are riots and mayhem. It's clearly weird. This novel is easily on par with the best of Ambergris.'
'I think it owes as much to Calvino as to VanderMeer. It's almost musical.'
'Oh, right,' says the kid with no name. 'That's your shtick these days: finding the so-called parents of the book at hand.'
'This one is a hard one,' I admit. 'In addition to those, I see Foundation, Baudolino, Diamond Age, and Soldier of the Mist, all wrapped up in a beautiful package. It's a lazy shorthand, but --'
'It's not lazy; it's insulting. As if the books are not true creations in their own rights, simply mere mashups derivative of early work.'
'Oh, that's not my intent at all. I think it's more like there are sympathetic vibrations from these other works in this book, as if each one resonates with this at a particular level, though it is not a mirror or copy of any of them.'
'Perhaps it is a conversation the book is having with the other ones, much like you are having with us,' Prasad suggests.
'I'm not having a conversation with you.' I wave my hands in frustration. 'You don't exist. You are not real.'
The other boy puts an ankle bracelet around the neck of another lizard and sets it free. Both boys stand up. 'Then you won't mind joining us down at the beach?'
'What's at the beach?'
'We're going down there to wait.'
'And to watch,' Prasad put in.
'No, I am going to sit on my deck and finish my drink. You two run along.'
I watch the boys walk past the house to the road. I'm sure they'll be safe: after all they don't really exist. As I'm sure that whatever it is they are expecting to emerge from the waves is not real. I am not afraid.
I just want to finish my drink.
And I am definitely not humming any songs by The Mountain Goats.
Tiszafüred, Hungary
Imagine spooky, somewhat dated music.
The music increases in intensity.
The camera pulls in, a bolt of lightning strikes....

I needed a place that was protected from rain because it's been off and on wet this week. The telephone/electricity poles here seem to mostly concrete, which is useful for this sort of exercise. I also made a wee Van der Graaff generator, but the wind blew it away.

Cats Playing Poker in Dupont Circle
This is a quick set. I stopped by DC for an overnight between New York and my next trip.
Of the famous dog paintings, you'll often see a version where one dog is slipping a card under the table to another. You'll never see a cat cheat like that. Oh, they'll cheat; they just wouldn't do it in a way that helps anybody else out.
Dupont Circle is a pretty active neighborhood in DC. I had trouble finding a spot that was quiet enough to get everything set up.
It's funny, I like how the cats turned out better than most of the wee toaty explorers, but I'm not happy with the pictures at all.

Should NCAA Take Stronger Control Over Bowl System After Fiesta Bowl Scandal?
The Fiesta Bowl scandal is the "latest example that the NCAA needs to take stronger control over" bowl games, an industry that "often operates outside its reach," according to William Rhoden of the N.Y. TIMES. Univ. of Maryland System Chancellor and Knight Commission co-Chair William Kirwan said bowls "ought to be put under the control of the NCAA." Kirwan: "One way to accomplish that is to go to a playoff and let it be an NCAA championship. That would be one way of breaking the back of the BCS. I've never been in favor of a playoff, but given what I see going on, I think it's time to press that issue." Oregon State Univ. President Edward Ray: "I think there needs to be a meeting fairly soon between the six BCS conferences and the NCAA leadership about what are the rules and regulations for conducting postseason bowl games, starting now." But NCAA President Mark Emmert is "lukewarm to the idea that the NCAA should take control of the bowls." Emmert: "If the membership wants us to take a look at it, that's something I'd certainly be willing to do. But that's not at the top of our agenda right now." He added, "The fact that this has to be fixed is not debatable. It calls into question the integrity of that particular bowl and it's very dramatic and received a lot of attention. But I don't think that it's accurate to assume from that one experience that the bowl system is broken" (N.Y. TIMES, 4/2).
INTEGRITY IN QUESTION: In New Orleans, John DeShazier wrote Emmert "knows the house needs some spring cleaning." DeShazier: "I'm not sure how he's going to do it, but he absolutely has to because the organization's credibility -- what little credibility it still has -- is on the line." The Fiesta Bowl scandal comes after reports that a trainer "allegedly shopped the services of former LSU cornerback Patrick Peterson," as well as the "mess at Ohio State with Coach Jim Tressel [and] the ongoing investigation into former Auburn quarterback Cam Newton and his family," among other scandals. Emmert: "The single biggest concern that I have among the threats to the collegiate model is simply the threat of integrity. I've heard concerns expressed by people all around the country about the integrity of intercollegiate athletics right now, that people are seeing things that they don't like and that I don't like and that many people are concerned about" (NOLA.com, 4/1).

SALLISAW — The elected chief of police in Sallisaw is charged with embezzling public funds after he admitted to taking $80 in petty cash last year.
Sallisaw police chief charged with embezzlement
Chief Shaloa Edwards, 51, was arrested Friday and has posted bail.
The felony embezzlement charges come after city officials forwarded an internal investigation to the Sequoyah County district attorney's office in January.
During a Jan. 17 interview with investigators, Edwards admitted to investigators "he took the money (but) that he didn't think it was wrong," an affidavit filed with the case states.
"He stated that he had taken money on three occasions, once 40 dollars and twice 20 dollars," Sallisaw police Capt. Beau Gabbert wrote in the affidavit. "I asked him if he knew taking public funds was a crime and he stated that he didn't think of it that way."
The investigation started after a civilian employee of the Sallisaw Police Department reported that Edwards had requested $20 from the petty cash drawer and then later left an IOU for $40 inside the cash box. The IOU was signed "Shaloa," records show.
Gabbert also wrote that he questioned city employee Pat Allen, who was in charge of the petty cash drawer, and that her statements conflicted with things Edwards had told others.
"I asked her if she ever loaned anyone money from the drawer and she stated, 'No,' that she was not going to lose her job for anyone," Gabbert wrote.
"I asked her what about the chief (Edwards) and she stated, 'No,' that she never had nor would she."
Unlike most police chiefs in Oklahoma, Edwards was elected. City officials had to amend city code to strip Edwards of his supervisory powers, which they did in February.
Last month, Edwards filed a lawsuit against the city of Sallisaw and City Manager Bill Baker, claiming the Sallisaw City Commission sidestepped the city's charter when his powers were taken away. Baker now has police supervisory powers.
