Things to do when the power goes out
By JanelleHeath on July 19, 2012
well for starters I hope someone will Google that because when you have no power you have no internet. No internet equals no Google!
Today's Prompt for the Summer Blog challenge : 5 Things to do when the power goes out
Living in the great northeast, the power sure does go out frequently. As a family we always try to be prepared when the power does go off.
Safety first:
- Drive carefully. Remember that traffic signals may be out in a rolling blackout. Consider each intersection to be a four-way stop and drive defensively. Don't go out on the road if you don't need to.
- Have candles, matches, and flashlights. When the power goes out, you will need to have light to see by. Be sure you have extra batteries. Always use caution when using candles.
- Make sure you have water. If you have a well which relies on an electric pump you should fill several pots or jugs with water because in a power outage you may be left without running water.
- Have a backup heat source. Have a fireplace, wood stove, or kerosene heater heater available to keep you warm. Be sure you know how to use these sources safely, and have appropriate fuel at hand. Be careful to conserve energy if you're anticipating a long outage.
- UNLESS there is an emergency, do not call 9-1-1. That number should ONLY be used if there is an emergency, or if someone is injured or in danger.
And after all your ducks are in a row………….Things to keep you busy while the power is out.
- Exercise. It may sound not fun and hard to do with no power,but there are some things you can do. Such as run around your house 10 times or do 100 jumping jacks. Its fun and a great way to stay in shape.
- Catch up on some sleep
- While in bed have sex. The rate of babies born 9 months after a power outage increase.
- Talk to one another. You have the time
- Take a walk out side and gaze at the stars. Often during power outages the lack of ambient light from streetlamps means you can see a lot more stars than usual

How adherence to public procurement is inflicting high costs on the taxpayer and creating a disaster for the country
Public procurement procedures have become a noose around the neck of Uganda. Over the last 16 years, nearly every major government contract or tender has violated some procurement procedure. This often leads the Inspector General of Government (IGG), Police, State House, security services, PPDA, Parliament and the press to intervene and investigate. Once this happens, the contract gets bogged down in endless quarrels and recriminations. The State is paralyzed to act while citizens are denied the service. By the time it is resolved, it is five or six years later and the contract sum has tripled or quadrupled.
Many Ugandans think that violation of procurement procedures is a sign of a corrupt intent. This leads them to believe that adherence to the rules is a sign of an honest and transparent procurement process. Both these assumptions are only partly true. Formal procedures can be used to create opportunities for corruption. For instance, a public official can frustrate a government contractor by being excessively proceduralistic in the hope of a bribe to speed things up. The counterpoint is that violating a few rules may not always (and necessarily) be motivated by a corrupt intent but by mere pragmatism. This is because rules can sometimes be stupid, arcane and mutually contradictory.
The opportunities and risks China faces as it begins its transition from middle income status to a rich nation
I spent the whole of last week in China literally flying from one city to another – sometimes covering two cities per day. The speed of change in China is mind boggling. I had not visited Beijing since 2008. In just six years, I could not recognise it. Even cities that I had visited in 2011 have expanded so rapidly I could not recognise them either. Skyscrapers grow like mushrooms even in rural areas where small towns are building high raised apartments to accommodate the mass of people leaving farms.
In 1984, Beijing was a city ruled by bicycles. From the video documentaries of that age that I have, you can hardly see cars on the streets. Today, China has overtaken the United States as the largest car market in the world. During rush-hour, it can take someone four hours to drive the 40km from the airport to Tiananmen Square in spite of the impressive investments in rails, highways and flyovers. Even in the small cities and municipal towns I visited, like Wei Hai and Qingdao, China's success is evident.
Why Africa needs trade and investment from America, not lectures on democracy and human rights
Last week, we were in Washington DC to attend the America-Africa Summit. China, the European Union, India – even Turkey – have all held summits on Africa and with African leaders to discuss how to engage our continent in trade and investment. Given that America is governed by a "black" president, and given the hope and expectations many Africa elites had in Barack Obama, it is interesting he has joined the new "scramble" for Africa this late in the game. Good that Obama thought of his "home" even belatedly.
I was struck by exhaustion and spent much of my time on a drip in hospital than at the summit. However, I was impressed that Obama avoided bringing in the issue of governance (democracy, human rights blah blah blah) on the agenda and hence focused on common interests through trade with investment. I was pleased not because I think governance issues are not important – I think they are very, very important – but because they should be left to local players. If Africans want democracy, they should fight and sacrifice for it and not outsource it to Americans.
Will the anti gay community try to write a new bill and mobilise quorum in parliament to pass a new law?
Last week, the Constitutional Court in Uganda declared the Anti Homosexuality Act null and void because it was passed illegally i.e. without quorum. Since then, a chorus of Western media has been arguing that the courts did this because of pressure from their governments via suspending and withholding aid. Equally baffling was the claim that the decision of the court was delivered at the time it happened in order to help President Yoweri Museveni arrive in Washington DC for the America-Africa summit in order to meet Barack Obama with a better face.
Western society has increasingly grown arrogant and self-obsessed. For them nothing happens elsewhere in the world, but most especially in Africa, which is not a reflection of what they have dictated. In our struggle for democracy, it is not the voice and sacrifice of domestic actors that count but rather the pressures and demands of Brussels, Washington, Paris and London. Even in economic policy change, it is not the interests of locals but the pressures of World Bank and IMF that will be credited for reform. Thus, from the perspective of the Western media, the efforts and courage of progressive intellectuals, journalists, lawyers, judges and gay activists amounted to nothing in the struggle for gay rights in Uganda.
How power sharing in Rwanda has worked and the lessons Ugandan politicians can draw from it for our good
Just imagine that you wake up tomorrow morning and find the following in Uganda: Yoweri Museveni is still president of the country. His vice president is Mugisha Muntu. The speaker of parliament is Olara Otunnu. Museveni has just reshuffled cabinet and replaced Amama Mbabazi with Nobert Mao as prime minister. The deputy speaker of parliament is Nandala Mafabi. And Kahinda Otafiire is deputy prime minister. All these men are not yelling and shouting at each other. Well this is because of the above power-sharing arrangement. To make it work, there is something called a Political Parties Forum where differences between the different political parties over public policy are debated and final positions are adopted entirely through consensus.
In this forum, all political parties regardless of size have equal representation and the chairmanship rotates among each one of them every month. No voting is allowed. If there is a dispute over a given policy, they are required to sit and negotiate until a compromise is reached. They can hold as many meetings as possible until a compromise is arrived at.
When you interview the leaders of these different parties, they say they accept this approach to national politics. They argue that this is because the winner-take-all political competition among different parties almost tore the country apart. They say now the country needs to heal wounds and achieve a minimum political consensus in order to achieve shared objectives.
How the internet has led to the growth of radicalism and the erosion of restraints associated with democracy
The growth of social media has created an important avenue for people to express themselves to audiences freely without the restraining hand of the governance structures of traditional media – newspapers, television and radio. These governance structures involve a hierarchy of power through which information is collected, processed (verified and assessed) and finally published and broadcast.
Usually, at the top sits the executive editor and below him/her are editors of all ranks down to the reporter in a hierarchy governed by a set of editorial rules and ethics that ensure every story meets a particular standard. This governance process allows a rigorous sieving of news to establish truth, accuracy, fairness, balance, integrity, context etc. But as Karl Popper said decades ago, human society is inherently imperfect and a perfect society is impossible to create. So we have to content ourselves with an imperfect society. So all too often, the governance structure of traditional media has failed us – untrue stories are published or broadcast, unfair and unbalanced attacks are made on individuals and organisations.
Although bar gossip and street rumours can be true, here is why journalists should always look for proof
Yusuf Serunkuma is a PhD candidate at Makerere University's Institute of Social Research. In that capacity he also teaches students. He regularly writes commentaries in newspapers and features on radio and television discussions on major national issues. He is loved, admired and respected by his family, friends, colleagues and the wider Ugandan newspaper-reading public. Quite often international organisations seek his advice on public policy by hiring him as a consultant.
Haggai Matsiko is a 25-years old reporter with The Independent, a newspaper that is read by Uganda's elite and aspirational classes, ambassadors, business leaders and the academia. While in a bar with friends, the discussion (kaboozi) comes down to Serunkuma. Joseph Ekomoloit, a friend of Matsiko, claims that Serunkuma is a very unethical lecturer who gives female students high marks in exchange for sex. Ekomoloit claims he has spoken to many students at Makerere who have told him this story.
How Rwanda's growth since 1994 measures against other economies and what explains the figures
Rwanda seems to be a country of extremes. Its turnaround since the genocide has been as astounding as the tragedy itself. The scale and speed of the Rwanda genocide was unprecedented. Rwanda's rapid state and economic reconstruction has been equally unprecedented. One measure for success of a country is the growth of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). Because this is based on statistical evidence rather than on opinion, it is a more preferred way to assess the performance of any government.
For example, statistical evidence shows that very few countries in the history of humankind have sustained economic growth rates above 7% on average for 25 years. These include South Korea, China, Japan, Malaysia, Taiwan, Singapore, Mauritius and Botswana. Many countries have had short sprints at growth but have not been able to sustain it over a long period.
East Africa has been billed as the next manufacturing hub for global markets. Will our politics allow it?
The South Korean ambassador to Uganda, Park Jong Dae, recently referred me to an article by George Friedman in the online journal, Geopolitical Weekly titled The PC16: Identifying China's Successors. I became an admirer of Friedman's work after reading his intellectually stimulating book, TheNext 100 Years; A Forecast for the 21st Century. He has an interesting way of looking at future global trends.
China has enjoyed fast economic growth averaging 10% per annum for over 35 years by making itself the hub for the manufacture of cheap products for global markets based on low wages. However, Friedman believes that China's growth has reached its zenith and henceforth will be declining. This is because labour costs have started rising in China, thus reducing the competitiveness of her manufactured exports. China's future growth will come from changing the structure of its economy into high-wage high-value goods hence leaving poorer countries to export cheap manufactures.

February 09, 2007, 2:20 PM — Send your Windows question to Mitch today! | See other Windows tips
A user of a company I know recently told me the following experience he had with a USB flash drive. The user traveled a lot and had a laptop that he used to connect to the company's network when he was in the office. And he was used to plugging his flash drive into the USB slot on his laptop so he could transfer files to another machine he used at home. But one day he came into the office, connected his laptop to the network, plugged in the flash drive and nothing happened -- normally an Explorer window would open displaying the contents of the drive. This was disconcerting, so he opened My Computer and discovered that the USB drive wasn't there. Puzzled by this, he took out another flash drive from his pocket and tried it, and this time it worked fine so he knew at least the problem wasn't with his computer.
He was just about resigned to throwing out his first drive when he decided to send me a quick email detailing the problem. My immediate reaction too was that it was that the drive had failed, but then I thought about it some more. One of the key steps in troubleshooting problems is to ask what just happened. The drive failure had occurred after he connected his machine to the network, so could it be an issue with the network? I emailed back and suggested he disconnect his laptop from the network and try the flash drive again, and a short time later I received an email saying the drive now worked!
Then it dawned on me. I told him to remove the drive, connect to the network and open My Computer again and look for something different. He did this and told me there was a new mapped network drive that he hadn't seen before. Aha! The network administrator must have modified their logon script to map a new drive on users' computers, and this new mapped drive probably assigned the very same drive letter that this particular user's laptop had previously assigned to his first USB drive. I told him to plug the USB drive in again, open Computer Management, and change the drive letter of the USB drive. He did this, and right away an Explorer window opened displaying the contents of his USB drive. Problem solved.
It's rewarding to be able to help users with their problems like this, but it's also a good lesson on how to troubleshoot. The key, I've often found, is to picture the entire process in your mind and then try to ask yourself at each point in the process whether this could be the culprit.

My last post, 'A Little Bit of Speed – 1', tried to depict speed by the use of 'background blur'. This image is completely different, and shows the 'motion blur' of the subject when the camera is not 'panned'. This is also from the same Speed Hillclimb at Gurston Down, and shows one of the entrants accelerating off the start line.
A Little Bit of Speed – 1
I haven't posted since early May, and I feel very guilty. I've been busy and haven't had much chance to get near my photos. Just to make sure that I could still remember how to post, I thought that I had better make some time.
This is a shot that I took at Gurston Down Speed Hillclimb back in June. It's one of many, and attempts to depict 'speed'. With that in mind, I have given it a little help in post processing, which sadly is probably very obvious. I'm not much good with Photoshop, still learning, or trying to.
I hope to produce a few more posts soon, but I am still short of time so I'm still not able to read all of the great posts on the blogs that I follow. Sorry for that. Things should get better soon.
An Elephant photo, treated using Topaz Detail 3
Last year, I posted 'Elephants 3 – Another White Elephant, with Zebra (Mono)'. That image was shot back in 2006, when I was using a Sony DSC-H1 Bridge Camera. I really liked the image, but the small sensor in that camera made it difficult to obtain much 'selective focus' and the image was too sharp from front to back.
Because I liked the image, particularly when presented in B&W, I decided to use a variation of it in a recent B&W Camera Club competition. I've often said that I am not much good at using Photoshop, but regardless of this limitation, I felt that I needed to try to simulate some 'selective focus' in this image if I was going to use it in a Club competition. I spent ages selecting different parts of the image and using layers to apply different levels of blur. I wish that I hadn't bothered. The Judge didn't like it, easily picking out those parts of the image that I had 'worked on'. I just wasn't clever enough! :(
Last year, I purchased the Topaz Suite, but didn't have the time of patience to learn how to use the various parts of it properly. This week, I thought that I would have a bit of a look at Topaz Detail 3, an application intended for selective sharpening of images. I've still got a lot to learn, and I still lack patience, but I have been very impressed at how this software can produce excellent results.
I thought that I would apply it to the original 'jpeg' file of that Elephant photo.
In this post, I have presented a series of efforts to improve this image. I hope that the differences are clear enough to show just what a 'pigs ear' I made of it before moving on to Topaz Detail 3. Here goes.
The first image is the jpeg straight out of my Sony DSC-H1
The next image was a B&W conversion using one of the Lightroom presets. I can't remember which, but I was going for a fairly high contrast result.
The next image is where things really started to go wrong. I attempted to use my pathetic Photoshop skills to simulate some 'selective focus' in the image by using a number of layers with differing levels of Gaussian blur. It took a long time to select the elephant layer and the result wasn't great.
It must be remembered that these last two B&W images were produced because I thought that the image lent itself to use in a Club B&W competition.
Some time later, after investigating Topaz Detail a little, I thought that the selective sharpening (and softening) available in this program might be useful for simulating 'selective focus'. I gave it a try, and these next two images took only a few minutes to produce. Maybe there is scope for improvement, but I quite like them as they are.
After a few minutes work in Topaz Detail 3.
Here they are again in a carousel so they can be displayed at a larger size where the differences are more evident. Click on the first one to display the slide show. Esc to end it.
I think the attempt to simulate 'selective focus' in the Topaz worked images is more subtle and was certainly achieved much more quickly. Please feel free to comment as I know that I still have a very long way to go in improving my PP skills. In particular, I always have trouble deciding just how much of an adjustment to make.
Weymouth – Sand Oxygenation
It's funny how sometimes (or often) I can be a little bit slow on the uptake. This story will demonstrate that. Apologies to all of you who weren't as slow. Continue reading
Springtime in the woods
It's time for a walk in the woods. Actually, this is a mere stroll compared with the day before's hike around Culbone. After the mild winter, it has been everyone's expectation that this year will see an early show of bluebells. With this in mind, we decided to take a stroll around some local woodland to see what we could find.
There was no carpet of blue yet, but where the most light and sun could find its way through, there were some well developed flowers to be seen. I think primroses were still stealing the show but bluebells were on their way as well. Compared to last year, I think the bluebells are probably 2-3 weeks ahead, at least in this wood. There were also plenty of other spring blooms on show.
The final image in this gallery is a very strong clue as to where this woodland can be found, though it doesn't look quite as it did a few years ago.
I'm not posting very regularly at the moment, but please keep an eye open to see what may come next.
Culbone Panorama, North Somerset
There has been a lot of attention to the Somerset Levels of late. Well, not all of Somerset is flat, and below sea level. Last Thursday, we set off on one of our fairly regular walks with our good friends Annie and Roy. We normally try to follow the weather and the forecast suggested that there would be more sunshine on the north coast, than there would be on the coast of Dorset, so the decision was taken to drive to Porlock Weir and do what was described as a 6 mile circular walk, with some steep inclines. We started with a quick snack in the pub, and then set out for Culbone Church, which I'll cover in another post. After that, we decided that we had enough car parking time to complete the circuit so off we went, climbing nearly continuously. Thankfully, there wasn't quite as much sunshine as forecast and the weather was very pleasant for walking. The sun did shine for this panorama, which was taken from Culbone Hill, at an altitude of about 1250 ft. Our walk peaked out at just over 1300 ft before we started to descend.
There were several times on this walk where we thought that we wouldn't make it within our car parking time, but we did, with about 4 minutes to spare.
The panorama is an accumulation of 9 images, stitched in Photoshop. As always, a blog post can't really do justice to a panorama, but with enlargement, the coast of Wales can be seen very clearly. One feature of this walk was that we saw a truly huge number of sheep with very young lambs, some of which I am sure were new born on that day. The field on the right is full of sheep without lambs. Although not visible without enlargement, the fields in the centre, and further down, were where the ewes with their lambs were.
When we arrived back at Porlock Weir, we decided that this hike was probably enough for a couple of septuagenarians and their wives. The muscles were certainly aching. Maybe I should return to walking the Somerset Levels. :)
I'll try to post about Culbone Church soon, so please keep a look out.
No posts for a while. Sorry, but I've been busy. Posts will probably be a bit thin for a while but here is a quick one just to try and keep things going. I'm sorry, but I'm not keeping up with reading and commenting either.
This is a first try at photographing a bubble, attempted last night with the YPG photo group. The intention was to illuminate a Union Jack with flash and capture the reflection in a bubble.
Too many light sources in the room me thinks! There were several photographers trying to get a shot and with 'off camera flash' it was inevitable that someone would be using a simple 'slave' setup. Hence, when my flash fired, then so did theirs.
I'll try again in a more controlled environment.
Thanks Derek, for providing the setup. Thanks also, for the many 'bubble blowers' that puffed through the evening.
Portland Bill – Bike Trials 3
Today, it is the turn of Neil to have his Bike Trials skills featured. Of the three lads that I photographed last Saturday, it is Neil with whom I have been corresponding and embarrassingly, when I look through my images for that day, I find that I have far fewer shots of him. I'm sure that this isn't due to anything other than my own inability to look in three directions at the same time, and I can only apologise.
Some of Nick's and Bo's skills are shown here and here.
There will almost certainly be more posts of this shooting session in the future. If you are interested, then please come back for another look.
Portland Bill – Bike Trials 2
Portland Bill – Bike Trials 1 showed a young man called Nick practising his Bike Trials skills on the large rocks in the area. In this post it is the turn of one of his friends Bo, to demonstrate his ability in this sport.
I'll show some shots of Neil in the next post. Please come back and take a look.
Portland Bill – Bike Trials 1
Last Saturday, while Dee was shopping in Weymouth with her friend Susanne, I headed for Portland Bill to take a few photos. It was a lovely day, which made me think that Spring had arrived. The downside was clear blue skies, which were not ideal for photography. When I arrived, I started with a few regular shots of the area but I wasn't inspired. I was about to give up and move on, when I spotted three young men riding bikes over the large rocks in the area west of the lighthouse. I watched them for a few minutes and thought that just maybe there were a few photos to be had. Having asked whether they would mind I started firing off a few frames. Their names were Neil, Bo and Nick, and they were practising the skills needed for the sport of Bike Trials, much like the Motorcycle Trials that I used to watch when I was much younger. The idea is that the only thing that should touch the 'ground' when riding over obstacles is the tyres of the bike. I was impressed and spent a while firing off about 150 shots before realising that I needed to go and collect Dee and her friend. Rather than bore you with a whole series of shots in one post, I'll pick just a few at a time. Sometimes things were happening so fast that I had trouble keeping up and framing correctly. None of the shots were posed. First a couple of shots showing Nick getting some air under his tyres.
There will be more posts in this series so Bo and Neil will have their time. Please come back and take a look.

As we head into what appears to be perhaps the final week of the search for a new coach, it's time to cut Ron Wellman some serious slack. I have no doubt that Wake is about to hire an outstanding coach. That will be to Wellman's credit. The dark past four years are coming to a close. Those were not Wellman's fault.
I've been a university VP for 26 years, supervised a varsity athletic department for almost 20, and been a Deacon hoops fan for over 40. I can tell you, with almost total certainty, that the decision on Dino was not Wellman's alone, if in fact it was his at all. Any such decision involves or comes down from the university president. When the young woman who was sexually assaulted by members of Dino's program went on Good Morning America with her mother to tell why she had to leave WFU after the assault, that and the roster containing thuggish players with little or no interest in academics told us all we needed to know about the last coaching change. If it was President Hatch's call, he made the right call - he's charged with protecting the well-being of a university, not a basketball program. If it was Wellman's call, it came with the strong support of the President, which is not essentially much different from being the President's call.
Admittedly, the hire of Bz was an airball. But how many good coaching candidates would be interested in the job after a successful coach was let go and job one for the new coach was to run off some of his top players? There can be no doubt that Bz was hired to be the new Sheriff in town - hence the euphemisms of "culture change" and assertions of support for the "direction in which the program is headed." Any coach hired in such a scenario would have to be given at least a four-year hold-harmless guarantee - two years to de-thug and decimate the roster he inherited, and two more to build back his own roster. And that brings us to our current situation.
During what must have been the most difficult four years of his career, Wellman claimed the entire burden of the Dino and Bz decisions as his own, though they couldn't have possibly been that cut-and-dried. He never once allowed the controversy to impact the President's Office. That was not only professional, but heroic. Wellman is one of the most respected and admired ADs in the country, as evidenced by his role on this year's Tournament Selection Committee. If he was no longer at Wake, the offers from top-tier programs across the country to hire him away would be immediate.
The new coach may or may not be a name with which we're highly familiar, but we'll get a coach this time who'll be the right coach for a program such as Wake's. One reason is that that coach will inherit an outstanding junior class that will still be around as seniors when he adds his first recruiting class to the roster. There's nowhere for the program to go but up, and the new coach will get the credit. He'll also get a very generous contract. But a second reason will be the contacts and reputation of Ron Wellman. It's tough to be the fall guy for a problem that you didn't create. Wellman has done it, and done it gracefully. We're about to reap the benefits of that sacrifice.

"I love Steinbeck! Loved the narration!"
When I was a young child, I lived in a fishing village in the late '40's, and early '50's. There were canneries in our small village, and many of the people worked either on the boats, or in the canneries.
There was quite a community - something like that of Cannery Row.
We visited Monterey some years ago, and I enjoyed knowing that Steinbeck wrote about that area.
"Amazing Contrast, then and now"
Yes, interesting story well written
everyday life
Yes, like his way of writing
His immitations of characters gives feeling of being there
"Great Listen to a Classic Steinbeck"
Steinbeck builds characters that you fall in love with and then struggle to support as they drift into trouble; usually of their own making. The story is about respect and how people on Cannery Row have lives devoid of meaning apart from place and time. They are not people like me, yet they are every part of my life experience. Doc is the main character, a man with a solid education, job and place in the world of marine biology. Yet he is empty in places that Steinbeck is able to reveal and describe.
Mack and the Boys are everywhere and add spice to the community on Cannery Row. They want to express gratitude for Doc and make a mess of things. Steinbeck takes us through the slow motion disaster of a party and builds tension as we wait for Doc to return home to the destruction Mack and the Boys created.
The narrator does a nice job of giving voice to people who we can only try to imagine from the words on the page as they share their story of respect, loneliness and community.
If you like Steinbeck this short book will not disappoint. It isn't Grapes Of Wrath, but it is still a fine work by an author who knows how to build characters that are irresistible.
"Expected more. Seemed dated."
The main character, Doc, did not come alive for me with the reader.
More character development. I expected more. It concerns Cannery Row, the part of town of Monterey California where many poor people lived. The story was from many years ago. The pace was rambling and slow, Steinbeck could have picked up the pace. The character development was lacking, the characters were shallow for the most part.
not if I had a choice
I think that at the time it was written it provided insight into a strata of life which many people were not aware of.
"A Love Letter To Time & Place"
Absolutely and I have. "Canary Row" is like a love letter to a time and place you never visited. After reading this book, I felt as if I knew the characters as fully realized people. Closing the book and reaching the end of the performance, I felt as if I were saying goodbye to dear friends. The imperfectly perfect people you would wish to have as neighbors with all the love, pain and other emotions that comprise valued relationships.
I love the part in which "The Boys" party goes awry turning tragic and humorous. Particularly, the truth of how we cope with the inevitable disappointments and pain that are part and parcel of meaningful relationships.
"Great reading of an under-appreciated gem"
Maybe. Farden reads Steinbeck like it should be read. Which is not fast. He savors the words properly.
"Could smell the sea"
Steinbeck used his craft to plop you right in the group of characters. His descriptive a are so real you can practically smell Monterey!
Characterization springs alive and becomes almost tactile.
Listened to and from work every day until done. Thought about it until I could jump into the car again.
Haven't found a Steinbeck book I didn't like yet. This was yet another story to continue the following until they have all been read/heard. Could not have been more entertained.
"That which we want, is what we despise"
"It has always seemed strange to me...The things we admire in men, kindness and generosity, openness, honesty, understanding and feeling, are the concomitants of failure in our system. And those traits we detest, sharpness, greed, acquisitiveness, meanness, egotism and self-interest, are the traits of success. And while men admire the quality of the first they love the produce of the second."
I am breathless.
"not Steinbeck's best...by a long shot"
In this book, Steinbeck mostly narrates the characters so we learn about them in 3rd person - very rarely do we get inside the character's minds - which to me is like being held at arms length from knowing a character. And there are a lot of characters. They are introduced throughout the entire book, animals and people alike, up until the last 10minutes of the read. There is no plot in my opinion, just a bunch of different people living their lives. I kept waiting for something that never happened. At the end of the book, I was bewildered by the reviews stating this book is 'life changing' and 'hard to put down'. It could not hold my attention and therefore it took me a while to finish. Not just that, but the narrator spoke so slowly I resorted to listening in double speed. This helped keep my attention a bit but the content was just plain dry.
"Steinbeck's Funniest Book!"
I think this was one of the most provoking and in-depth novels by Steinbeck.
Cannery Row had more thought put into the underlying message within the story. Most Steinbeck books are " what you see is what you get" They are all american stories, that can be taken literally as they are.
However this book had more substance.
Mac and the boys are a humorous and simple bunch of guys. Everything they did and said was funny, and you often figure if they are honestly that daft.
All the characters seems to be this way.
And then there is Doc, he's much like the others, but for some reason his presence and character bring a new level to the story. He's the leader that brings everyone together. He's the brains of the town. Which is not hard to be!
In the end of the book, there is a passage read out loud by Doc that sums up the whole of the story. Its the purpose and message of the whole book.
This is the element to Cannery Row that sets it apart from Steinbeck's other books.
Well worth the read. Not my favourite Steinbeck. Likely because I felt it varied from what I love most about Steinbeck. But still worthy.

KANSAS CITY, Kan (Reuters) – A federal judge on Friday blocked a Kansas law that forced two clinics in the state to stop providing abortions because they could not comply with 36 pages of new regulations.
Judge Carlos Murguia granted a request from the two clinics for a preliminary injunction to block enforcement of the rules, which went into effect Friday morning.
At a hearing, lawyers for the clinics argued the rules are unreasonable and the state gave less then two weeks' notice for them to be imposed.
The Kansas Department of Environment and Health said the two clinics — the Center for Women's Health and Aid for Women — failed to meet the requirements and could not be licensed.
A third clinic, Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, got its license but not until the agency determined late Thursday afternoon that it passed inspection and was in compliance.
While the health agency says the new regulations are in the interest of patient safety, clinic officials have said they are excessive and unnecessary.
Among other things, the regulations set minimum dimensions for surgical and recovery rooms, specify room temperature ranges and require extra medical equipment and staffing. Doctors performing abortions must have hospital privileges within 30 miles of the clinic.
The Kansas law is one of many abortion curbs pushed by conservative lawmakers in dozens of states this year. Other proposals included bans on late-term abortions and requirements that providers offer women sonograms of their fetuses.

Lance Moore WR PIT 6 Months
Saints released WR Lance Moore.
Moore hinted at his release Friday morning. The Saints tried to trade him, but nobody was willing to take on his $3.6 million. New Orleans saves over $2.531 million against the cap with the move but eats over $2.537 million in dead money. Moore was the longest-tenured Saints prior to his release. At 31 (in August) and a product of Drew Brees and Sean Payton, we don't anticipate a hot market.
Lance Moore WR PIT 6 Months
Lance Moore indicated on Twitter that he's been released by the Saints.
Lance Moore WR PIT 6 Months
ESPN's Adam Schefter reports the Saints are "shopping" Lance Moore.
Moore is coming off a brutal season, and will turn 31 before Week 1. Cutting him would create $2.5 million in cap space, but also $2.5 million in dead money. Moving on from Moore would leave the Saints low on veteran receiver depth behind Marques Colston.
Lance Moore WR PIT 6 Months
ESPN.com's Mike Triplett could see the Saints keeping Lance Moore and returning him to a more prominent role in 2014.
Moore is scheduled to count $5.1 million against the salary cap and would likely need to take a pay cut to return. He played on less than 50 percent of offensive snaps this past season, posting just a 37/457/2 line and missing three games due to injury. Releasing Moore would free up $2.53 million in cap savings, but leave the Saints with $2.54 million in dead money.
Lance Moore WR PIT 7 Months
The New Orleans Times-Picayune admits Lance Moore's future with the Saints is in question.
Moore, 30 next August, is scheduled to count $5.1 million against the 2014 salary cap. That's far too high after he posted just 457 yards and battled injuries this past season. Moore saw his role reduced considerably, as Kenny Stills emerged as a bigger playmaker at receiver. His salary isn't guaranteed.
Lance Moore WR PIT 7 Months
Lance Moore is scheduled to cost $5.1 million against the 2014 salary cap.
As beat writer Mike Triplett notes, it's an awfully high number for a 30-year-old who was a part-time player in his eighth season with the Saints. Moore set four-year lows in catches (37), yards (457) and touchdowns (2) while losing snaps to Kenny Stills. Expect a renegotiation that includes a pay cut on his $3.1 million 2014 base salary. The Saints are reportedly $12.5 million over the projected cap and still have to do a deal with free agent Jimmy Graham.
Lance Moore WR PIT 7 Months
Lance Moore caught two passes for 20 yards in New Orleans' Divisional Round loss to the Seahawks.
It was a fittingly quiet capper for Moore, who managed just 37 catches for 457 yards and two touchdowns in 13 games this season. All three totals were his fewest since an injury-marred 2009. Going on 31, Moore is due a non-guaranteed $3.1 million in 2014. He's a candidate for a pay-cut.
Lance Moore WR PIT 8 Months
Lance Moore caught two passes for 31 yards with a touchdown in Saturday's Wild Card win at Philadelphia.
Moore gave the Saints a 13-7 lead early in the third quarter as he found a hole in the backside of the Eagles' zone. Drew Brees came off his first few reads and hit his reliable veteran who waltzed in for the 24-yard score. Otherwise, it was another quiet game for Moore, who averaged just 2.8 catches for 35.1 yards with two touchdowns on the season. When the Saints played at Seattle in Week 13, Moore had two catches for 12 yards.
Lance Moore WR PIT 8 Months
Lance Moore caught four passes for 73 yards and one touchdown in Week 17 against the Bucs.
Moore was targeted five times on the day and beat Leonard Johnson for a 44-yard touchdown to open up the scoring in the first quarter. It was Moore's longest reception of the season. He wraps up the season with 37 catches for 457 yards and two touchdowns while serving as the Saints' "No. 2 receiver." Though Moore gets that label, he's nothing more than the fourth or fifth option in the passing game. Moore and the Saints take on the winners of the NFC East next Saturday night.
Lance Moore WR PIT 8 Months
ESPN Saints blogger Mike Triplett believes Lance Moore could be a candidate for offseason release.
Moore has played a limited role in the Saints' offense this season, struggling with both injuries and effectiveness. He enters Week 17 with just 33 catches for 384 yards and one touchdown, missing three games due to injury. With a $3.8 million cap number for 2014, Moore could be asked to take a pay cut at the very least. He's no higher than the No. 4 option in the passing game and is entering the declining stage of his career.

WEDNESDAY, Feb. 1 (HealthDay News) -- Postmenopausal women are at a 35 percent increased risk of hip fractures if they regularly use proton pump inhibitors (PPIs), and that risk increases to more than 50 percent among women with a history of smoking, according to a study published online Jan. 31 in BMJ.
Hamed Khalili, M.D., from the Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues prospectively followed 79,899 postmenopausal women enrolled in the Nurses' Health Study who provided data on the use of PPIs biennially from 2000 to 2008. The main outcome measured was incident hip fracture.
The researchers documented 893 incident hip fractures during 565,786 person-years of follow-up. Among regular users of PPIs, the absolute risk of hip fracture was 2.02 events per 1,000 person-years, compared with 1.51 events per 1,000 person-years among nonusers. The risk of hip fracture among regular users for at least two years was 35 percent higher than for nonusers (age adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 1.35), with longer use associated with significantly increasing risk (Ptrend <0.01); the associations remained significant after adjusting for multiple risk factors. Among current and former smokers, the multivariate HR for fracture was 1.51 (95 percent confidence interval [CI], 1.20 to 1.91), whereas there was no association among women who never smoked (multivariate HR, 1.06; 95 percent CI, 0.77 to 1.46).
"Chronic use of PPIs is associated with increased risk of hip fracture, particularly among women with a history of smoking," write the authors.
