Thanks to assistance from George Spicka (composer friend in the Baltimore Jazz Alliance), my hand-written score for Blues for Lester has been put into Sibelius software. This piece is for jazz soloist, 5 horns, and rhythm section. Flexible instrumentation is used to enable the music to be played by many configurations of instruments. The Blues for Lester page on my website has a link to the ensemble score. Bands that are interested in playing this piece can write to me from the Contact page.

Building An Online Audience
Being primarily a composer and not having a performing band, I have given considerable time & effort to building an online audience through my website and other music sites I use. Along the way, I picked up a number of tips from musician friends and website developers. Following are several basic tips that have been helpful to me:
Cast a Large Net
There are many music sites on the internet. To name only a few: Youtube, Soundcloud, Reverbnation, Vimeno, BluesJazzRadio, All About Jazz, Last.FM, Hardcoremix Radio, Jango Radio, Fandalism, (the list goes on and on). Having your music on multiple sites is a good way to reach out to a broader audience. In addition, when you have your own website the other sites you are using can have a link to your site. This enables your website to be the hub of a network of music and social media sites.
Your Own Website
Having your own website is one of the most important things that one can do to have an online presence that stands out. The site layout and features can express who you are and what your music is about. There are a number of free or inexpensive site builders that are easy to use (using drag and drop icons). Talk with musician friends to see what they are using, look at their sites, and see which site builder is the best match for you.
When you have your website, think of it as being like a restaurant. What does a successful restaurant do to bring in customers and retain a loyal base? Take a similar approach with a website.
Here is an important tip: Do not let your site become stale or inactive. Do new and creative things with your site on a regular basis to keep it fresh. This includes adding new music, posting news and blogs, making improvements to the site, etc. Active sites typically have more weight with search engines than inactive sites.
A Personal Domain Name
A personal domain name for your site is highly recommended – in particular, using your name. A domain name can be purchased from a website builder or companies like Namecheap. A developer told me that one's name (with a .com extension) makes it easier for people to remember your site and find it with internet searches.
Without question, Facebook brings the greatest amount of traffic to my site. However, it is my understanding that only 7% (or less) of the people in one's friend list actually see the messages posted on a timeline. In my experience, one of the best things about Facebook is the groups. With groups, you can find a collection of people who share an interest in music with you. Posting a link to your site within a message to a group (or multiple groups) will usually bring more people to your site than by only posting it on your timeline.
It is also important to have a music page on Facebook in addition to a personal timeline. I have been told that having a Facebook page gives more weight to your name in search engines.
Sleepy Creek Samba Demo
A rough demo of my Sleepy Creek Samba score for mid-size jazz ensemble has been created. It was done in Sibelius with only the 6 horn parts and no solo section. The demo can enable one to get an idea of what the horn writing sounds like. Of course, it will sound much better with a real band!
New Recording In The Works
David Arivett has started to work on a recording of my composition Salt Marsh Rag (5 woodwinds & jazz rhythm section). I am impressed with David's work in creating recordings of big band scores with electronics and, at times, live musicians. His recordings sound like a live big band. I am looking forward to David working his magic on Salt Marsh Rag and hearing the result. The recording will sound like a woodwind quintet with piano, bass, and drums. It will enable others to hear some of the concepts I have for a mid-size ensemble.

The Sleepy Creek Samba page on my website has a link to the ensemble score. Bands that are interested in playing this piece can write to me from the Contact page. Over time, more of my hand-written scores will be converted to Sibelius.
Interstitial Arts Foundation Page
An information page for the Interstitial Arts Foundation has been added to my website. For many years, my creative process is to write down music that comes to me. I do not put a stylistic filter on my work. Sometimes the music fits (more or less) into a particular style, sometimes it is a blend of styles, and sometimes I do not know what to call it. When I discovered the Interstitial Arts Foundation earlier this year I suddenly found a community of kindred spirits who are not constrained by artistic borders. Their creative vision is deeply inspiring to me.
Amy Duncan: The Creative Process
Composer friend Amy Duncan has a wonderful new blog: The Creative Process. Here is her description of it:
"A few weeks ago, I posed these questions on Facebook:
Here are a few questions for my creative friends (writers, musicians, composers, artists, photographers, etc.): What is your creative process? How do you approach your work, day by day? What are your work habits? Your frustrations (if any!)? Feel free to be wordy!
I received so many interesting and varied answers that I decided to share them here on my blog. Feel free to add your own in the comments section!"
Twenty four of Amy's friends (writers, actors, musicians, photographers, directors, artists, poets, singers, composers, etc.) responded with messages about their creative process. It's an honor to be included with them. I highly recommend a slow and careful reading of The Creative Process. These are inspiring messages!
A Big Band Misconception
There is a common understanding that each saxophone, trumpet, and trombone player in a big band has an individual part. However, that is a misconception with regard to harmony. Traditional big band arrangements -- with 5 saxophones, 4 or 5 trumpets, and 4 trombones (13 or 14 players) -- typically use 4 or 5-part harmony. Therefore, doing the math, 2 or 3 players are going to play the same note, using unison or octave doubling, in a given harmonization.
A traditional way to harmonize a melody in top-down, close-position voicings for 5 saxophones is the 1st alto plays the melody note, the 2nd alto plays the chord tone below the melody note, the 1st tenor plays the next chord tone (below that of the 2nd alto), the 2nd tenor plays the next chord tone, and finally the baritone doubles the 1st alto an octave lower. While there are 5 saxophones, the chord voicing is actually 4-part harmony.
Here is an example of this method of writing for saxophones using a melody note of D (9) on a C7 chord (from the top down): 1st alto = D, 2nd alto = Bb, 1st tenor = G, 2nd tenor = E, and baritone = D (octave below 1st alto). Even if tensions of a chord (natural or altered 9, 11, or 13) are used for modern harmony, the voicing often follows this traditional concept of harmonization. As a variation of the example used above on a C7: 1st alto = D, 2nd alto = Bb, 1st tenor = A (13), 2nd tenor = F# (#11) or E, and baritone = D.
Top-down, close-position 4-part harmony (as described above for saxophones) is also used for the brass section. Usually, the 4 trumpet parts are written first and then the 4 trombones double the trumpet parts an octave lower or with variations of this technique.
When saxophones are joined with the brass in concerted ensemble writing, the 1st alto usually doubles one of the trumpet parts and the remaining saxes double either lower trumpet or trombone parts. Thus, there is a considerable amount of unison and octave doubling in traditional big band arranging.
Open or spread voicings can go beyond the 4-part harmony used in traditional close-position writing. In spread vocings, the trombones and/or lower saxophones play basic chord tones (such as 1-3-7 or 1-7-3) and the trumpets and/or higher saxophones play remaining chord tones and, importantly, include tensions to give the voicing a richer sound. Here is an example of a spread voicing with an Ellington flavor on a C7 chord (from the bottom up): C, G, Bb, E, A, D#. Spread voicings can use 5, 6, or 7-part harmony instead of being limited to 4-part. However, unison and octave doubling still occurs when 7-part harmony is used in concerted saxophone & brass passages.
While the focus of this discussion is on traditional big band harmony, I would like to say a few words about contemporary writing for big bands. Characteristics include a greater use of individual lines (linear writing), contrary motion, expanded harmonic structures (clusters, intervalic-based structures, etc.), and orchestration that crosses horn sections. Even with the use of advanced harmonic concepts, unison and octave doubling is also found in contemporary big band music.
The simple reason why harmonic doubling is commonly used in big bands is there are more horn players in the band than the number of individual notes in the harmonic structures used by big band arrangers.
Given this perspective of harmonic doubling in big band music, I have an idea to offer to big bands: to try using my 6-horn ensemble scores with doubled players on a part. This is described in my Mid-Size Ensemble article. So far, big bands have been reluctant to try it. However, as I envision this approach (as another option to playing these scores with 6 horns), it can give conventional big bands a fresh sound.
Bands are encouraged to experiment with this idea. For example, the 12+ horns can be used in different combinations at places in the score as well as playing together. Of prime importance is my concept of having 6 lines with distinct tone colors instead of the conventional sound of saxophone, trumpet, and trombone sections. This can be done by combining saxophones & woodwind doubles with the brass using various mutes (as well as playing open) to create an expanded palette of tone colors. With this approach, each wind instrument is used as an individual tone color -- and blended with other colors -- instead of as part of a section.
Interested bands can write to me from the Contact page to discuss these ideas and to inquire about scores.
Baltimore Jazz Works 6/22/14
Baltimore Jazz Works -- George Spicka (piano), Phil Ravita (bass) and John Kessell (drums) -- will perform my original A Samba Named Nancy on Sunday, June 22, at the 49 West coffeehouse in Annapolis, MD. The show is 7:00 to 9:30 pm. BJW's music includes originals by George Spicka and Phil Ravita.

Camp sites open Friday around stateMay 21,2013
By Josh O'Gorman
Staff Writer
Just in time for Memorial Day Weekend, camp sites in the Green Mountain National Forest will open Friday.
During the past few weeks U.S. Forest Service employees and partners have been working to prepare the sites and other camping facilities.
While campers may find some wet spots, forest roads and trails are in very good shape. Officials encourage visitors to consider bringing head nets or an effective insect repellant to combat the ever growing black fly and mosquito populations.
In Vermont, The U.S Forest Service offers 100,000 acres of wilderness, two national recreation areas, 900 miles of trails including the Appalachian and Long trails, more than 100 camping sites and nine picnicking areas.
All camping on the GMNF is on a first come, first serve basis; no reservations are required. There is a maximum stay of 14 days during a 30-day period
Visitors can camp anywhere on the forest unless the area is posted closed to camping.

TEAMS: Chicago Bulls, Philadelphia 76ers
The Chicago Bulls play as hard as any team in the NBA, and that can sometimes rub a team or players the wrong way. ¬ÝTom Thibodeau rides his starters hard, and most average over 40 plus minutes a game. That'Äôs his system and his players understand that. ¬ÝAs All Star center Joakim Noah told Bulls.com, Thibodeau 'Äúdoesn'Äôt really understand that whole rest thing anyway.'Äù 'ÄúI saw the way the game was going,'Äù said Thibodeau. 'ÄúYou'Äôre jogging back. They'Äôve got a lot of three point shooting on the floor. A 10-point lead can dissipate in a minute. You knock down three threes, you get a foul, boom. And then we were in the penalty; we'Äôre recklessly fouling. We'Äôve got to do better.'Äù 'ÄúWhat do you want me to say? Yeah, I'Äôm tired, pretty tired,'Äù Noah offered with a shrug. 'ÄúWorking on (his plantar fasciitis) every day, massages, lots of treatments, doing everything possible to keep it under control. It'Äôs not really right after the game (you feel tired). It'Äôs the next morning that'Äôs the roughest. 'ÄúWe'Äôve got a great coach,'Äù Noah said as he began to smile and let out a laugh and you know one of those subtle, understated zingers was coming. 'ÄúBut he doesn'Äôt understand the whole rest thing yet I don'Äôt think. But it'Äôs all good. We all want to win. It'Äôs good.'Äù Thibodeau is a tough-minded defensive coach, so regardless if his teams are up 20, he'Äôs going to keep pushing. ¬ÝCan it be a little annoying, yes, but at least Thibodeau won'Äôt have to worry about a team that doesn'Äôt play hard like some coaches. I'Äôm sure Doug Collins would love that problem here in Philly.

6 nitpicks of The Amazing Spider-Man 2 (movie review)
We finally got around to The Amazing Spider-Man 2 and… hm. It was good – not great, but certainly good. It's complicated, but I can at least say it's better than the first one. Follow me after the jump if you dare – it's going to be all spoilers, all the time!
Rocky (quick movie review)
I haven't watched Rocky from start to finish in… I dunno, at least 10, maybe 15 years. Still, it's on TV all the time, so I catch bits and pieces every once and while. For me, Rocky Balboa is the quintessential Sylvester Stallone character (sorry, John Rambo and… guy from The Expendables whose name no one knows) – it's also the best underdog story to ever to grace celluloid. (Sorry, Underdog.) Read the rest of this entry
Ender's Game (quick movie review)
Ender's Game is part of the seemingly never ending young adult novel adaptation wave – they keep coming, one after another, some crashing against the rocks and others gliding all the way to shore. This is a case of the former. Read the rest of this entry
Divergent (quick movie review)
Each time I saw the trailer for this flick, my brain would go, "Divergent! So Divergent!" Is it just me? It's probably just me.
Anyway, in the grand scope of young adult novel adaptations, Divergent was a better movie than Ender's Game and Twilight, but that's not exactly high praise. If you can get through the first 20 minutes or so, I think action/adventure fans will be pleased with the flick. Read the rest of this entry
First Blood (quick movie review)
OO – you know what I haven't seen in a while? First Blood. It's the first and the best (by far) in the Rambo series and features what is probably Sylvester Stallone's best moment on screen. Read the rest of this entry
Le Week-end (quick movie review)
What can one say about Le Week-end? The movie doesn't have much of a plot, yet it's still a flowing… well, "narrative" probably isn't the right word, but it's something.
Jim Broadbent and Lindsay Duncan are both excellent in their starring roles. Their performances, along with direction by Roger Michell, photography by Nathalie Durand and editing by Kristina Hetherington are the driving force behind this movie. I'm sure lots of other folks worked hard on this flick, but without these five people turning in masterful efforts, this movie would probably be a big pile of pretentious drivel.
A quick word about Jeff Goldblum: this is Goldblum at his most Goldblum-i-ness. He was the perfect person to play this particular role and it's all the funnier that they're playing off his reputation. Not a show stopper, but a quiet joke that comes out of nowhere.
I didn't love it, but if you don't mind listening to an older married couple argue for 93 minutes, I'd give Le Week-end a whirl – let's score it a 7 out of 10.
My 5 Favorite Robin Williams Movies
I don't know anything about Robin Williams the man. Maybe there's a bit of a man in his art – that's what I think, anyway. I could summarize his Wikipedia page for you, but instead, I thought I'd take a look at what he's left us: dozens of movies, tv shows and appearances, comedy specials, documentaries and so on. Here's my five favorite Robin Williams movies in no particular order.
Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie (movie review)
On Friday, August 8th, 2014 at 7:30 PM, we saw the much-anticipated Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie (screening dates) with a full house of raging Nerd Heads. The flick has been in production for several years now, so expectations were high and enthusiasm boundless as the lights dimmed and the picture popped onto the screen at the Sharp Theater. Would the fans get what they want, or would they go home disappointed? I was predicting the former, but you never can tell how these independent productions are going to turn out. Ready for anything, I settled into my balcony seat and watched the movie roll. Read the rest of this entry
Batman (a 1989 movie review)
I know, the trailer is kinda stark, but Batman kinda changed everything. I hate to use a cliche, but it's true. Before this flick, comic book movies rarely happened, and when they did, they were under budgeted punch lines. Now that we live in the golden age of comic book movies, I thought it'd be fun to take a look at the movie that helped make this era possible. Read the rest of this entry
Will Reading – a movie in production by CreativeJamie.com (update #4)
The Prop Table Is taking shape!
Pre Production on Will Reading is about to come to a close. Our little movie's script has been shaped into a shooting draft, we've got a prop list, a shooting schedule… all that good stuff. At this point, I'm just waiting for the last bits of equipment and props to arrive in the mail while I'm putting together storyboards and shot lists for each scene.

Does @KaiRyssdal hate everything?
I'm a fan of National Public Radio, which means I listen to WNYC here in the greater New York City area. On the way home from work, I usually get a dose of Marketplace. Kai Ryssdal is the man who explains the world's money to me in a way that my feeble brain can understand, and I love him for that… but I am a little concerned about some of his recent reports. Read the rest of this entry
Guardians of the Galaxy (movie review)
We saw Guardians of the Galaxy this past Sunday with a full house at 10:50 AM. The movie is filled with murder, violence, profanity, betrayal, torture, sadness, jokes, pop songs from the 1970s, abduction, deaths of innocents, more murder, more violence… and it's probably the most fun you'll have at the movies this year.
"And there's your blurb," as Christy Lemire would say.
The Dark Knight (movie review)
The question isn't really regarding the quality of The Dark Knight but instead, by examining its parts, deciding on its place in history. Is it the best action movie ever? Let's dig in to the most bountiful Batman movie we're ever likely to get. Read the rest of this entry
The Iron Giant (quick movie review)
This is one of those movies that everybody loved but nobody went to see in the theater. The Iron Giant is the feature film directorial debut of Brad Bird (Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol, The Incredibles - both great movies you should see, by the way) based on the book The Iron Man by Ted Hughes. The movie has stunning visuals, fluid animation, tons of laughs, an excellent story… everything is great and I will hear nothing negative about this film. Voice actors include Eli Marienthal (yeah, I don't know who he is either, although I did sit through Mystery of the Batwoman, which was… OK, I guess…), Jennifer Aniston, Harry Connick, Jr., Vin Diesel (who has very little dialogue, but does a fine job at pushing humanity through the voice effects), Christopher McDonald and John Mahoney. The screenplay is witty and tight – I believe this is the sort of movie that actually has something for everyone: heart, comedy, action, drama… you name it.
Stop reading this and go watch The Iron Giant!
Baffling Movie Trailers: The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, Mad Max: Fury Road, Tusk
Today on Baffling Movie Trailers: it's the first teaser for The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1, Mad Max: Fury Road, and Kevin Smith's new jam, Tusk. Let the snarking begin!
So… what does that guy think Katniss is doing there, dressed in a field uniform and armed with weapons? Does he think she's there to give hair cuts? Maybe teach an archery class? And I guess the final chapter in all series has to be split into two movies now? I thought you were better than that, Hunger Games. Also… I'm kinda thinking there's not gonna be a Hunger Games in The Hunger Games: Mockingjay Part 1 so… there's that.

Her (movie review)
We finally got around to seeing Best Picture Nominee Her and shockingly enough, I have a lot to say about the flick. The core of Spike Jonze, Scarlett Johansson and Joaquin Phoenix are favorites of mine, so I'll do my best to adjust my expectations accordingly. Read the rest of this entry
Superman Unbound (quick movie review)
I can't help but compare Superman Unbound to its vastly superior counterpart, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse. The plot of the two movies are so similar that I feel Superman Unbound doesn't really need to exist. At the very least, we didn't need these two movies just three or so years apart. Granted, Superman/Batman: Apocalypse has a lot more going on, but you can't escape the fact that Superman Unbound follows the recent trend of boring DC Animated Universe movies, including Justice League: The Flashpoint Paradox and Justice League: War.

All of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movies reviewed!
Well, that which I have been dreading is nearly upon us: The Michael Bay produced Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie is just days away. As if you haven't already guessed, I'm setting my expectations to low (especially after I saw the toys). Then again, I tried that with Transformers, and look how that turned out. Anyway, in the interest in getting caught up with all things Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles from a movie standpoint, here are my scores and links to the reviews for all six TMNT movies.
I love the first one. 1990's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles is awesome and I will hear nothing else on the subject. 9 out of 10.
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze is a baffling, disappointing follow-up, but it's watchable. "Go ninja, go ninja, go!" 3 out of 10.
The third one… it's not bad, but it feels like nobody gave a shiz. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles III is bad, but it could be much worse and they ditched the campy tone of the second, which was much appreciated. 5 out of 10.
2007's TMNT is fine – it starts off strongly but falters. 3.5 out of 10.
I have to admit, I haven't finished watching Turtles Forever. For all its bold premise promises, I was shocked at how board I was while watching the flick – I'll try to give it another chance ASAP.
That's all for now… boy, this new movie sure does look like shiz. Oh well. It's got to be better than the Transformers movies… right?
Disney subtly suggests that Fur is Murder in 101 Dalmatians
In my lifetime, Disney has been very "be a pirate even though they're the bad guys" and "sell your soul for a man, little girls!" but in the past, Disney sung songs in my tune.
101 Dalmatians has a super subtle message regarding the fur industry. It's subtle, right? And it was only 1961, too! Disney was so progressive back then… Now all we get is a rehashing of Hamlet over and over again. Well, probably only the two times, but I'm sure you see my point. Disney isn't exactly out there tackling income equality, but I suppose they deserve credit for distributing Wall-E.
Gambit (quick movie review)
How the hell did somebody screw up a movie starring Colin Firth, Stanley Tucci and Alan Rickman and featuring a Cohen Brothers screenplay? OK, Cameron Diaz's atrocious southern accent isn't helping, but it's not the reason Gambit is terrible. Seriously, it's in so bad it's good/worst movies ever territory – I'm going to have to give it more thought to see if it gets anointed to such status. It's that bad.
The pacing and story is shockingly loathsome! Colin Firth and Cameron Diaz insanely miscast! It's a comedy/face that forgets to include actual comedy and farce! The one farcel scene is completely out of place (and suffers from some of the worst timing ever in a movie) in a by the numbers comedy that desperately wants to be an outside of the box/cutting edge caper movie!
This movie couldn't be more awkward is Gambit from the X-Men made a cameo! These people thought they were making the farce version of Oceans Eleven, which may well be the worst idea for a movie EVER! Even people who think Colin Firth poops platinum will hate this movie.
Its. That. BAD!
Anyway, I didn't like it and I don't recommend that anyone else ever watches Gambit ever for the rest of human history.

NEW YORK (AP) - It's a diplomatic failure at the highest level: Bill Clinton couldn't get Led Zeppelin to reunite.
The CBS "60 Minutes" webcast reported Monday that the former president was enlisted to ask the British rock gods to get back together last year for the Superstorm Sandy benefit concert in New York City. He asked, they said no.
David Saltzman of the Robin Hood Foundation says he and film executive Harvey Weinstein flew to Washington to ask Clinton to make the plea. Led Zeppelin's surviving members Robert Plant, John Paul Jones and Jimmy Page were in Washington just before the Sandy concert for the Kennedy Center Honors.
Led Zeppelin last played publicly at a one-night reunion in London in 2007.

Perfect dinners in a pinch with 316 quick-and-easy recipes!
Pears are available year-round but peak season is July through January.
A bosc pear has a sweet and spicy taste and is good for snacking, poaching and cooking.
A comice pear tastes sweet with a fruity aroma. It is best used for snacking or serving with cheese.
A bartlett pear tastes sweet and is best used for snacking, cooking and salads.
An anjou pear tastes sweet and spicy. It is best used for snacking, cooking and salads.
Select pears that are plump and unblemished. Avoid fruit with bruises, soft spots or cuts. If you plan to bake with pears, pick ones that feel firm to the touch. These fruits will hold up better against an oven's heat. For snacking, choose pears that give slightly when gently pressed.
If your pears are too firm to eat, place the fruit in a paper bag at room temperature for 2-3 days to ripen. Unwashed ripe pears will keep for 3-5 days in the fridge. Be sure to store them away from other fruits and veggies with strong aromas. To help prevent browning on cut pears, brush the slices with lemon, lime, orange or pineapple juice.

WALTON — The Keisling family came away from the weekend with stories to last a lifetime.
Austin Keisling is a senior guard on Lewis Cass' boys team. He led the way as the Kings won their first sectional title since 2007. In addition, he reached the 1,000-point career milestone during the Kings' semifinal victory over Manchester.
His father, Chris Keisling, is the coach of the Western girls team, which won the Class 3A state championship. Western upset Evansville Mater Dei 38-35 in the title game.
Word of Western's championship win reached Austin Keisling at halftime of Cass' 69-53 victory over Oak Hill in the Class 2A Manchester Sectional title game.
"I came out of the locker room and my coach told me, 'Your dad won.' I looked at my mom and started fist-pumping," he recalled. "My mom was tearing up. That got me even more energized. I kind of felt the feeling of being in a state championship because my dad is the coach. You get that tingling in your whole body. It's just great. I want that for my team."
No. 7-ranked Cass (20-2) is one of 16 teams remaining in Class 2A. The Kings will face No. 3 Wapahani (22-1) in a Lapel Regional semifinal Saturday.
"We're probably showed as the underdog. My dad's team was showed as the underdog in the state game," he said. "When you're showed as the underdog, you feel like you have nothing to lose. I'm going out there guns firing. It's my senior year, nothing to hold back."
Keisling is making the most of his senior season. The 5-foot-11, 169-pound guard is scoring a team-high 18.3 points per game. He also contributes 5 rebounds, 2.2 steals and 1.2 steals per game.
Most of all, the 2013 KT All-Area player is enjoying the Kings' success, which includes an 18-game winning streak. Cass was 6-15 his freshman season, 11-12 his sophomore season and 10-11 last season.

Grand River Station Tenants Likely to Draw Businesses
Caregiver Arrested for Theft
You get some home care for your elderly father, you probably don't expect him to get ripped off in the process. Police say 40 year-old Lisa Wilchinski stole checks from a 90 year old La Crosse guy she was hired to take care of. They say the Onalaska woman wrote herself over a thousand bucks in checks on the elderly guy's account. Apparently, she also used his credit card to get herself a nice new ring. She denies any theft. Tells cops she got hush money from the 90 year-old because he groped her and didn't want her to tell anybody about it.
Police: Northside Video Poker Machines Hit For Big Dollars, Maybe No Crime
Cops aren't sure how they did it, but they did it, and did it up good. Several bar owners on the northside of La Crosse were stung last night by some guys playing video poker who were either extremely lucky or somehow very crooked. The guys hit the machines for around five hundred bucks each. Some of the bars paid out. One wouldn't pay out until today and at the other bar, they accused the guys of rigging the game and they left with over four hundred bucks of credits on the machine. Police stopped some fellows from out of town who appear to be the video machine scammers but say they've got no evidence the guys did anything criminal.
Political Analyst Says Kapanke May Be Harmed by Latest Complaint
Dan Kapanke may feel the pinch of this one. La Crosse political analyst Joe Heim says the latest ethics complaint from the state democratic party about Kapanke's business dealings may stick in the craw of some voters. He says when the headlines scream about ethics and money laundering, those allegations tend to have an impact on the perceptions of voters and are likely to have an effect on the efficacy of a candidate running for office.
Heim feels the democratic party's complaint is based on something relatively minor. Kapanke has said he erred by paying a team debt to the city out of a charitable foundation but has since paid the foundation back out of team coffers.
Rasch says WTC Probably Won't Budge on PILOTs
The city of La Crosse may be looking to get paid by WTC. But the city may have to just go on looking. TC president Lee Rasch says he has no intention of making to the city what are known as Payment in Lieu of Taxes, or PILOTs. Rasch says, although he doesn't mind paying for some things collaboratively, like streetscaping on 7th street downtown, he also doesn't believe it's appropriate to "shift" tax dollars from one taxing entity to another. Rasch also tells us he can't conceive of a time in the future when he might change his mind on the issue.
This thing might come to a head. The city is currently setting up a system that would require tax exempt organizations sign agreements to make payments for services before development deals could be inked.

"Fairest of the months!
Ripe summer's queen
The hey-day of the year
With robes that gleam with sunny sheen
Sweet August doth appear."
~ R. Combe Miller
Well, hello! It's been a while. How did we get to mid August so quickly? Tom and I have been dividing our summer between DC and Castine, Maine. If you spot a silver mini-van with DC tags crammed with dogs, furniture and stuff puttering along I-95, that would be us! Wave hi, okay?
There's much to catchup on, so let's start with our garden in DC.
This August has been cooler than normal, and it feels marvelous. The plants love it, too. The first photo from a few weeks ago shows the row of Russian sage along the pergola. I shared it on INSTAGRAM and many of you "liked" it - thank you!!
A couple weeks later, the Limelight hydrangeas to the right of the garden pavilion burst into bloom. Next to the hydrangeas is Blue Fortune agastache with its lavender-blue flowers. Both long bloomers are showstoppers of the August garden.The white border really shined this season. With more of a cottage garden spirit, the planting here is less formal. There is still structure, such as the evergreen shrubs to anchor the perennials, but the overall appearance is a bit softer. Surrounding the granite sundial are Minnie Pearl phloxes - this is their second flush of flowers. Also in bloom are veronicas (below) and daisies.
Not much new inside except for a few tweaks and additions of books and creamware. I was invited by Kim at Savvy Southern Style to chat about my favorite room - did you see my guest post on our library? Thanks so much, Kim!
In Castine, the exterior of our grey house has yet to be painted as the short summer is, as you can imagine, the busiest season for local painters. While I love grey, I plan to perk up our historic home with crisp white paint, graphic black shutters and sunny yellow doors. So that's the exterior color scheme!
As for the gardens, we've planted 18 Limelight hydrangeas, five white spruces and many native cinnamon ferns. The front perennial beds need simplifying and weeding. I'm thinking of a white, pale-yellow and green garden - simple, cheerful, summery!
Here is a sneak peek of the dining room with botanical prints of ferns inspired by the local flora.
We continue to explore beautiful Maine, and took a "daycation" up to Lubec and Eastport. Lubec was just delightful - an unspoiled Downeast coastal gem. Being the easternmost town in the U.S., you can enjoy the sunrise before the rest of the country. Also the fresh, salty air!
Don't miss The McCurdy Smokehouse Museum, the last traditional smoked-herring facility that closed in 1991. Next door, there is a charming gallery featuring the works of local artists.
Across the Lubec Narrows, enjoy views of the Mulholland Point Lighthouse on Campobello Island, Canada. If you are a lighthouse enthusiast, this is the region for you. There are five around Lubec and another one in Calais.
The harbor and historic cottages. New Brunswick, Canada can be seen from Lubec. Greetings to my Canadian friends and readers :)
Speaking of lighthouses, the boldly striped red-and-white West Quoddy Head Light is stunning against the blue sea. I hear it is quite the Maine experience on a misty, foggy day with the sound of the foghorn.
The most eastern point in the U.S. - quite the setting with the rocky cliffs, big tides and gusty winds!
After Lubec, we made our way to Eastport, a small city with lots of galleries, cafes and antique shops. We had a wonderful time chatting with the very friendly locals.

Do You Actually Need to Learn Grammar?
There are two general schools of thought when it comes to language learning and grammar. The first follows a strongly analytic model focused on explicit grammar learning. People in this group emphasize the primary importance of learning grammar before and above anything else. For them, grammar tends to take the central role as the most important aspect of learning a new language.
The second group holds the opposite views. That school of thought follows a strongly deductive model focused on implicit grammar learning. People in this group think the study of grammar essentially impedes language learning and that it should be ignored – as long as you can communicate you'll pick it up eventually.
So which way is actually more effective for language learners?

From the WTF files: did you know how much your used pregnancy test is worth?
One woman's trash is another woman's treasure, even when it's a used pregnancy test. Letitia Rowlands takes a look at the surprising market for positive pregnancy tests.
Ever wondered what to do with those old pregnancy tests after they have served their purpose and confirmed that you are indeed expecting a baby? Before you throw those seemingly worthless pieces of used plastic in the bin, consider this: there are women prepared to pay cold hard cash to get their hands on your positive test.
Reports in the United States and Britain have revealed that women are offering to pay up to $40 for a positive test, while one pregnant seller offers "same day service" and also promises to not ask why the customer wants the test. "Not my business!" she explains.
Practical joke or nasty trick?
"Want to get your boyfriend to finally pop the question? Play a trick on mom, dad or one of your friends?", another US seller asks.
Buyers' reasons for wanting the positive tests range from planning to use them to make a long-term boyfriend finally commit, to having the last laugh at the expense of a cheating husband. Disturbingly, there have also been reports of women using the positive tests to trick boyfriends not keen on the idea of fatherhood into giving them the cash for a termination.
It is hard to deny the idea of a stranger who is happy to pay a pregnant woman cash for a piece of urine covered plastic is somewhat amusing.
But I do have to wonder if the willing purchasers of the positive tests have thought through the consequences of their scheming, or even considered whether their plan will work at all.
Thinking it through? Not so much
Firstly, what will the women do if their disbelieving partner asks them to do another test to prove the first one isn't faulty or incorrect? Will they find themselves saying, "OK honey, but I've just got to pop down the road and grab some milk first", while madly messaging the true baby mama and asking her to pee on another stick right away?
Secondly, if the purpose of producing a positive test is to force a boyfriend to pop the question, what exactly is the newly-engaged "pregnant" woman going to do when her belly doesn't grow and she fails to produce a baby in the expected time frame? There is only really one option, and that is to fake a miscarriage. Which is not only cruel to the man who thinks he is going to become a father, but is insensitive to all the couples who do suffer the loss of a much wanted baby.
Thirdly, I'm no expert, but I think it is also safe to say that such horrible deceit is not the most ideal way to start married life together.
Besides, who says two tiny lines on a pregnancy test will be enough to make the would-be father commit in the first place? Let's face it, there are plenty of single mothers bringing up young children who will attest to the fact that having a baby to your partner does not always result in him sticking around to cut the cord.
As for the mums-to-be selling the tests, should they be held partly responsible for the deceit and heartache their off-loaded tests cause? Maybe. Then again the fact that women's dirty underwear can be bought online is proof that if there is a demand for an item, there will always be someone willing to provide it.
As one pregnant friend joked when she heard of the growing market for positive pregnancy tests: "Oh good, I'll still be pregnant on April Fools Day. Maybe I can make a bit of cash then."
Go on, 'fess up: would you sell your used pregnancy test for a bit of extra cash?

Arrest over A35 death crash
12:02pm Monday 18th June 2012 in News
A Southampton man has been arrested on suspicion of causing death by dangerous driving following a head-on crash in the New Forest.
A 61-year-old woman driving a Vauxhall Astra was killed when her vehicle was in collision with a Vauxhall Insignia on the A35 at Holmsley yesterday.
The woman, who came from Christchurch, Dorset, died at the scene. Her passenger, a 39-year-old woman from Lee-on-the-Solent, suffered minor injuries and was treated at the scene.
The Insignia was being driven by a 52-year-old Southampton man who also suffered minor injuries but was taken to Southampton General Hospital as a precaution.
Today police revealed that he had been arrested in connection with the crash, which occurred at the junction of the A35 and the B3058 Holmsley Road.
Officers are appealing for witnesses to the collision. They are particularly keen to hear from the driver of a blue Volvo estate that was travelling along the A35 at Holmsley when the crash happened just before 10am.
Call Sergeant Andy Lynch at the road death investigation team on 101, quoting Operation Armel.
