Update 11:42 a.m. A note from Morning Star school now says the stand will NOT be a bikini barista coffee stand:
Dear Parents,
I have talked to the espresso stand owner and he has confirmed that he is NOT planning to turn the espresso stand under the White Stallion into a Bikini Barista. I would like to encourage you and others in the area to patronize his stand so that he can continue to be successful as a family friendly business. I would also like to thank everyone for their support of our school.
Original story -
A "bikini barista" is coming to Woodinville, according to a letter sent to parents from Morning Star preschool Wednesday morning.
The note follows:
Dear Parents,
The espresso stand located in our complex has changed ownership is planning on becoming a "bikini barista." The landlord can't exclude this, but is as highly against it as we are. I will be letting the espresso owners know that this is unacceptable to us and am letting you know in the hopes that if enough people express their desire for them to remain family friendly, that the new owner will abstain from changing into this kind of business.
Thanks for your support
The school is located at 15620 NE Woodinville Duvall Place in Woodinville and the closest espresso stand seems to be From the Grounds Up. Patch will update this story as more information becomes available.
In January, a local coffee stand owner had their female employees wear "costumes" as an experiment, but it was a short-lived one and they stopped after only a short time. At that time the city of Woodinville did not have any ordinances against regarding scantily-clad baristas.

US President Barack Obama will use his State of the Union address on Tuesday to call for dramatic cuts in nuclear arsenals around the world, The New York Times reported late Sunday.
Quoting unnamed administration officials, the newspaper said that in recent months Obama had secured agreement with the US military that its nuclear force can be cut by roughly a third.
In his speech Obama is unlikely to discuss specific numbers but White House officials are looking at a cut that would take the arsenal of deployed weapons to just above 1,000, the report said.
Currently, the United States has about 1,700 nuclear weapons, and the new strategic arms reduction treaty with Russia that passed the Senate at the end of 2009 calls for a limit of roughly 1,550 by 2018.
But Obama "believes that we can make pretty radical reductions — and save a lot of money — without compromising American security in the second term. And the Joint Chiefs have signed off on that concept," the Times quoted one official as saying.
However, the White House is loath to negotiate an entirely new treaty with Russia, which would lead to Russian demands for restrictions on US and NATO missile-defense systems in Europe and would revive a major fight with Republicans in the Senate over ratification, the paper said.
Instead, Obama is weighing how to reach an informal agreement with Russian President Vladimir Putin for mutual cuts within the framework of the new START treaty, but without the need for ratification, The Times said.

Rasheed Sulaimon scored 27 points to lead the No. 6 Duke Blue Devils to an 89-68 rout of the Boston College Eagles on Sunday afternoon at Cameron Indoor Stadium in Durham, N.C.
For more on this game, head over to Blue vs. Blue.
The last time the Blue Devils faced the Eagles, Boston College spent the majority of the game flirting with the possibility of an upset victory. Duke escaped that Feb. 10 meeting with a one-point victory, a much different story than on Sunday, when the Blue Devils jumped out to a 24-point halftime lead, thanks in part to Sulaimon's 15 first-half points.
Mason Plumlee scored 19 points, on the strength of an 11-of-15 performance from the free throw line, and grabbed 15 rebounds for the Blue Devils (24-3, 11-3 ACC), who had five players finish in double-digits in scoring. Plumlee's squad will travel to Virginia on Thursday before a showdown with No. 2 Miami on Saturday.
Ryan Anderson finished with 23 points for Boston College (12-15, 4-10 ACC).

ADDITIONS to the Templers Mill Motel are well underway, with the footings complete for stage one.
Orange Ex-Services' Club chief executive officer Cameron Provost said work on the 36 new rooms started in February and completion for the first stage was due in December.
"The project is behind by about 10 days because we had 10 wet days at the beginning - it could be caught up within the next eight or nine months," Mr Provost said.
"Once we are out of the ground, it won't be as adversely impacted by wet weather."
With the footings now complete, Mr Provost said the building would start to take shape in the coming month.
He said completion would mean more accommodation in Orange.
"We wouldn't be turning away as many guests hopefully and we'll really be able to facilitate more during the peak events," he said.
Mr Provost hoped stage two would start next year.
The club's nine-stage expansion, to be completed during the next 10-15 years, will include 82 extra rooms in the Templers Mill Motel, a block of 20 apartments, a 1200-seat auditorium, a 32-seat cinema, two restaurants, a new entry foyer, a gymnasium, a day spa and a two-storey alfresco area.
It will also feature 18 conference rooms, a business centre and a four-storey car park with more than 750 new spaces.

MARTIN GARCIA, LIBERIAN FREIGHTER, WINNER: "We were the only speed in the race today, so when I broke I let him run out of there on his own and let him settle into stride. When I asked him to run, he took off. I thought he beat a really good field today."
MIKE SMITH, AMAZOMBIE, WINNER: "Bill (Spawr) and I discussed that we were going to follow the number one horse (Atta Boy Roy). But he didn't get away so well. When he didn't get away, I just worked on getting out in the clear. So I just kept on needling my way out and I finally got out in the clear. I was able to sit there and make a run with (Steve) Asmussen's horse (Captain Cherokee). We both fought it out to the end. He's one of the coolest little horses I've been around. He's just so full of class, and he knows what he's out there for."
JOEL ROSARIO, GILDED GEM, WINNER: "I've ridden her before and I moved a little early last time. Today I took my time and she responded well. She's the kind of horse that wants to come from a little bit off the pace. I just let her relax and find her stride."
COREY NAKATANI, CHURCH CAMP, WINNER: "The race set up pretty much the way I thought it would. The horse right next to me (Jax El) had early speed, and the horse Patrick Valenzuela (Briecat) was on is tactical. So I was just patient, moved to the outside, and just tried to give her a little breather from the half-mile to the quarter-pole. I set her in a spot I knew would be good enough, and I was trying not to move too soon because she was at such a high cruising speed.
MARTIN PEDROZA, WORTH REPEATING, WINNER: "I rode this horse before and this is the kind that once you ride it, you fall in love with it. He was (Rafael) Bejarano's horse, and I picked the horse up after Bejarano had the spill at Del Mar. He ran good and Richard (Mandella) was very happy. But Richard has his own riders and I was hoping to hook up with this horse again someday in the future. Today was the day. I got to know the horse, and it paid off.
RAFAEL BEJARANO, JUNIPER PASS, WINNER: "My horse ran really well for his first time on the dirt. He surprised everybody. I knew the number eight (Dahoud) was going to go to the lead and try and slow the pace. My only chance was to put my horse right behind the speed the whole way around. I'm glad it worked out. My horse showed me a big kick in the stretch. The other horse (Dahoud) came running, but my horse was very strong."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, MILDLY OFFENSIVE, WINNER: "My filly was the best filly in the race. I wondered a little bit about the track conditions but when I started to warm up my filly it felt like she really liked it. I was hoping to break good from the gate. When I found my position I was right behind California Nectar. When the horse on the lead started lugging out a little bit I tried get to the rail, save a little ground, and let her run in the stretch."
MARTIN PEDROZA, LA NEZ, WINNER: "She ran good. I got a perfect trip. She broke good and I tucked in right behind some horses. I was laying about four or five horses back. Just before I got to the top of the lane I put her into gear and she started running. She had one hell of a kick when I asked her to go, she just took off."

Tailgating tip for this year's Super Bowl: You can't. NFL poobahs have decreed you can't set up a grill, tables or chairs at MetLife Stadium in the Meadowlands. Security reasons, they say.
You can eat and drink inside your car or standing beside it, as long as you don't step outside the designated parking space for which you've paid $150. There's no word on whether you can pop your hood and cook a cheeseburger on your engine.
On the plus side, you won't need a cooler. The game starts at about 6:30 p.m., and the average low around the New Jersey stadium in February is 25 degrees. That's well below the suggested serving temperature for wines.
Of course, you can avoid all this by renting a skybox. ESPN says a suite for 30 fans, with food and open bar, is listed at $472,996. That's $15,766.53 per person.
So this may be the year to tailgate in the comfort of your family room. You could buy six dozen Samsung 75-inch hi-def TV sets and an equal number of Heritage Wood/Gas Fireplaces for the price of that skybox.
If you live in South Florida, of course, you can have a real outdoor tailgate party — maybe even within sight of the ocean. And you can stream the game on your laptop, tablet or phone.
Here are my suggestions for pairing Super Bowl fare with wines — which, as I say every year, are far more appropriate for the rough-and-tumble game of football than the wimpy light beers that are helping sponsor the telecast.
• Cheetos, pretzels, chips, nuts and other salty snacks: inexpensive sparkling wine or bubbly Italian prosecco.
• Crackers and creamy dips of mayo and sour cream with artichokes, asparagus, spinach, smoked salmon and such: big, hearty California chardonnays or rich white wine blends.
• Sandwiches, from burgers and dogs to meatball subs, po'boys and others: light-bodied reds such as pinot noir or dolcetto.
• Five-alarm chili, barbecued ribs, stuffed jalapeños: spicy, hearty red zinfandel.
• Rib-eye steaks, roasts, lechon asado, leg of lamb: cabernet sauvignon or a full-bodied merlot.
• Beer-can chicken from the grill: What the heck, have a can of the beer on which you grilled it. But go craft — no puny "lites."
• Dessert: Anything chocolate will go nicely with a lush malbec from Argentina, which tastes like chocolate-covered cherries.

Just Finished A 100% IHC Restoration
Sorry guys. I couldn't resist. I sold a tachometer off this tractor back in December and felt a little guilty about it. But, since I don't collect or restore tractors, I thought somebody else would appreciate the tach more than me.
I then used the cash to help pay for this 1953 IHC Garand that took me 5 months to restore. I just received the front sight today and that was the last piece. It is now a 100% IHC M1 Garand (to include the stock) with a near mint LMR barrel. So, it is also a nice shooter!
Thanks for indulging me.

I knew from reading up on some of the IH stuff - I think it was in an issue of Red Power or something like that, that IH made rifles for the US Army. Never saw one though.
Nice job.
Hey, collectin is fun no matter what your interest. That is what is so nice about the hobby - it is all about what you are interested in personally.
Very nice restore.
Confusion breeds Discussion which breeds Knowledge which breeds Confidence which breeds Friendship
Congratulations on the rifle. Finding one that's all IH is really rare, they've had so many parts mixed.

Nice looken garand.IHC made them korean war vintage.I have a Springfield 1mil range s/n made in May 43.Went deer hunting with it a couple of years back.I missed a 10 pointer one morning because I had the safety on.Why is it they are on the other side of the tree stand,had to take a left hand shot. The sound "click" of the safty coming off,was enough.... ...gone.... The four pointer later on with 220 grain bullet did the rubber leg jig.....after it jumped 10 feet..........Nice Big, nothing like M1 and cubs.

Thanks for the kinds words. Yes, IHC made M1 Garands during the Korean War era. During WWII only Winchester and Springfield Armory made them. One other company, H&R made the rifles in the 50's. I hate to even say it, but of the 4 manufacturers of M1 Garands, the IHC rifles are generally considered to be the worst.
RedNed, that was rough luck with that deer. I was thinking about taking one of my Garands hunting next fall. I have a SA 2.6 million (Feb 1944) and a SA 3.3 million (Jan. 1945).
Mike, I bought the basic rifle from a guy in Washington. Besides the receiver, it had an IHC op rod, bolt, and the correct LMR barrel. Over the next 5 months I took my time looking for the correct IHC components that also matched the finish of the receiver. I had to replace the entire trigger group one part at a time. I found IHC rear and front sights. And I found a good deal on an IHC stock that had one small crack near the wrist. I repaired that and it looks great.
The M1 Garand is "the greatest battle implement ever devised."

Tara C. Matise - Associate Professor
Computational Genetics
My area of research is purely computational in nature, I do not perform any work in a wet lab. To carry out my research projects, I develop new analytical methods, write computer programs to implement these methods, run computer programs written by both myself and others, and develop and maintain web sites for dissemination of results. My time is divided between basic research and developing tools and resources for use by the research community.
My work focuses on developing and applying tools for genome mapping. On a level above DNA sequence, there exist several types of maps, including cytogenetic, linkage or meiotic, radiation hybrid (RH), and clone-based physical maps. One of my areas of research focuses on automating the construction of linkage and RH maps and map integration. The process of ordering markers on these two types of maps relies on statistical and heuristical methods, follows a stepwise algorithm, and is quite computationally intensive for large marker sets. I have written a computer program that is used for automated large-scale linkage and radiation hybrid mapping.
is freely available to the genetics community and has been used in several genome-wide mapping projects in humans and other organisms (mouse, rat, dog). The ability to rapidly and efficiently generate linkage and RH maps has facilitated my work on research projects examining the properties of different types of maps.
In addition to building stand-alone maps, I also focus on map integration. These different types of maps are typically each created and displayed as separate entities. Links are made between markers in common between multiple types of maps, but little effort has been made to define methods for truly integrating all the different pieces of map information into one comprehensive map. This area is becoming even more important as the human DNA sequence becomes known. In collaboration with Dr. Peter White at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, we have constructed genome-wide integrated maps that can be accessed at the eGenome web site (
We are now embarking on a brand new area of research, to search for genes involved in female reproductive genetics - in other words, looking for genes that play a role in fertility. And we are also interested in statistical genetics projects searching for genes involved in other complex traits.

Defendant Who Covered Up Tattoos at Trial Declines to Do So in Life-or-Death Penalty Phase
Posted Dec 16, 2010 12:44 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
A neo-Nazi defendant with facial tattoos that many might find disturbing covered them up during his Florida murder trial, with the help of a cosmetologist paid over $100 a day by the state.
But now that he's been convicted in a 2006 attack motivated by bias that left a man dead and a woman injured, 24-year-old John Ditullio is letting the jury get a good look at the Frankenstein-like line of seeming stitches down one side of his face and the swastika and "f--- you" on the side of his neck, according to the St. Petersburg Times.
Ditullio, who was facing either a life term or the death penalty, also declined to present some mitigating evidence concerning his difficult childhood, rejecting his lawyer's advice after yesterday's conviction. However, his mother and his sister told the jury that they still want to be part of his life. And two African-American inmates said he had gone out of his way to be helpful to them.
"I'm not going to beg you people for my life or my death, man. You do what you do. OK? I don't care," Ditullio told the jury. "Life in Florida is death in Florida. But the people that just sat up here and testified that they love me and they want to be part of my life, that's who I ask you to render your verdict on. Not me."
Ditullio was sentenced to life by Judge Michael Andrews in the Pasco Circuit Court case, based on the jury's recommendation.

Nov 2, 2010While I agree with the general urgency this movie tries to portray I hate the special interests and motives behind it all. Al Gore himself travels around the country in his own Jet, making millions of dollars in the process. I think we not only suffer from pollution from burning fuels but also pollution in the form of money which corrupts even the noblest of causes. I am afraid these things just give weapons to the non believers and in general detriments the efforts of people trying to solve this very real crisis.… Expand
Feb 2, 2012Propaganda film for the Climate Change movement masquerading as a factual documentary, full of half-truths, outright errors, and dodgy science, presented in a slick package with carefully selected stock footage. Oh, won't someone think of the polar bears!
Jul 16, 2011This is the movie that changed my outlook on the world and opened my eyes to the most important issue facing humanity today. I was enthralled and horrified at the facts presented in this movie. And I was amazed to see Al Gore - who I'm ashamed to say seemed hardly different or better than George W. Bush to me during the 2000 election - drop all pretenses and come across as an extremely interesting and knowledgeable figure with a passion for educating people about the planet's peril. It's overwhelming the amount of scientific evidence that exists, and it's relayed quite effectively in such a way that if one five-minute topic segment doesn't completely convince you, then surely one of the next ones will. If I could have every person view one movie, this would be it.… Expand
May 20, 2012Amazing how stupid some people are...
Global warming is important..
Al Gore shows the inconvenient Truth....
Nov 28, 2012Despite the recent developments seemingly debunking the points it raises, "An Inconvenient Truth" is - without a doubt - still a good film.
Mar 18, 2014An Inconvenient Truth is a persuasive argument to the effects global warming has on the environment and why we should change them. The film has good intentions and lots of facts and statistics to back up its points, and almost convinces even the most closed-minded person that he or she needs to change.
Mar 12, 2014This film is shocking and true. Believable, and understandable, An Inconvenient Truth's actual Truth, is so close to our faces that it might spark change in the near future.
An Inconvenient Truth is something you rarely see in movies today: a blatant intellectual fraud. Shame on all of the people involved in this travesty.
The documentary is an act of political activism. Guggenheim and his politically conscious producers, Laurie David, Lawrence Bender and Scott Z. Burns, have no interest in either challenging Gore's viewpoint or giving opposing opinions equal time. The film is simply a conduit for Gore's message.
A straightforward record of the lecture Gore has toured for years, juiced by elaborate graphics. An excellent educational tool, picture may prove an awkward fit for theatrical distribution.

Pro wrestling is very fluid with its storytelling. In the blink of an eye, a good guy can become bad, an antagonist a protagonist.
In insider terms, a babyface can turn heel.
Sometimes, the results are better than anyone could ever imagine. Hulk Hogan was the top babyface in the 1980s but there are a great deal of fans who far prefer his heel character in the 1990s, "Hollywood" Hogan.
I'm one of them.
There are countless other instances and WWE.com has gone to the trouble of listing the top 50 villains in pro wrestling history. Because we're such marks for lists like this, you knew we would throw it up for you Cagesiders to tear to shreds.
Check it out:
50. Batista
49. Randy Savage
48. Vickie Guerrero
47. Mark Henry
46. The Iron Shiek
45. Andre the Giant
44. Eric Bischoff
43. Eddie Guerrero
42. Brock Lesnar
41. Kane
40. Don Muraco
39. The Dudley Boyz
38. CM Punk
37. Ernie Ladd
36. Ivan Koloff
35. Paul Heyman
34. Abdullah the Butcher
33. Terry Funk
32. Randy Orton
31. Kevin Sullivan
30. Jerry Lawler
29. Raven
28. The Fabulous Moolah
27. Paul Orndorff
26. Nick Bockwinkel
25. Vader
24. Harley Race
23. Sgt. Slaughter
22. Undertaker
21. Freddie Blassie

Tift County- A Hill Avenue mobile home burst into flames Monday morning. Investigators from the State Fire Marshal's office spent the day digging through the debris trying to find out what caused the explosion.
The owner, 51 year old John Sears was life-flighted to Joseph Still Burn Center in Augusta. He is in critical condition.
Investigators are also working to find out what caused the fire that broke out at a Tift County hotel.
Fire destroyed an office at the Travelodge Hotel in Tifton around midnight Saturday. Arson investigators still are not sure what started the blaze, but they were in Tifton again Tuesday collecting evidence from the scene.

#, or brief description of the product
The AverMedia EH5108H Hybrid DVR has 8 channels and features an embedded Linux operating system. It records feeds from up to 8 PTZ cameras (either analog or IP), and supports more than 50 brands of IP cameras. With a Graphical User Interface (GUI), the DVR allows you to control the system by simply pointing and clicking. You can adjust resolution/frame rates for all analog channels. The H.264 compression helps reduce video file sizes without compromising on the quality of images. The EH5108Hs Hardware Compression improves speed and efficiency by using minimal CPU and RAM resources.Offering multi-language support and variable date formats, the interface is easy to understand, which helps in reducing training time, and allows simple point-and-click access for viewing live video recordings or searching for previously set alarms. The interface provides multi-language support, and is integrated with a virtual on-screen keyboard. Several devices such as Windows Mobile, iPhone, Blackberry, laptops, and remote computers can be used to view video, via an internet connection. Video masking allows you to exclude certain spaces within a selected area from triggering motion based recordings, thus helping to save storage space. POS text overlaid on video allows you to save storage space while recording continuously. Certain important parts of a video can also be bookmarked for viewing it later, hence offering quick and easy access. The EH5108H Hybrid DVR allows you to perform a parameter-based search for video by a date, time, and event log file. An advanced event log search can also be carried out by event, operation, system, and network activities. Time search helps browse through the video by moments. Visual search allows video to be broken down into thumbnails that can then be easily searched and analyzed in detail (hour/minute/second) to locate critical events. This video can then be exported or bookmarked for easy access. Supporting up to 8 E-maps (.jpg or .bmp), it allows you to drag and drop DVR/NVR locations (icons) on the E-maps. Tasks such as recording, rebooting, and enabling of network activity can be scheduled to carry out either as one-time task or as a recurring weekly task. Up to 32 user accounts can be managed by the EH5108H Hybrid DVR, with each account having its own password and user privileges (operation, control, and remote access). In case of network fails and video loss, the system continually tries to reconnect to the DVR until video is restored. Images and videos can be exported to the .jpg and .dvr formats respectively. Backup data can be stored in either a DVR RW or USB. The EH5108H Hybrid DVR also supports 3 (4th optional) SATA HDDs and 1eSATA HDD.The iEnhance feature helps to manipulate light, noise, and color in the videos and the iStable feature smoothens shaking and jolts. The EH5108H Hybrid DVR offers 2 types of de-interlace methods for analog cameras that are optimized for static or dynamic scenes. It allows alarms to be set to inform of unit events (DVR HDD fail, video loss, DVR reboot, etc.), monitoring events (Motion, Sensor), and network events (connection loss/success). It also allows notifications to be shown.

This fun TR is located to the right of Roseland, and is directly under the P1 bolt anchors on that climb. From the ground, weave back and forth up through bulges until you join Roseland at the end of its traverse. The crux is at about 2/3 height at a bulge with a right-leaning seam.
On the face 20' right of the right-facing corner of Roseland.
Opinions on gear vary between "none" and "PG" but agree that the gear is small (see comments); it is easy to TR this line from the anchors on Roseland.

Fireworks may be fun for some - but for others in one Northern Michigan community - they're a nuisance.
They say the fireworks are loud, and the debris is a fire hazard.
People in Leelanau County are requesting the county commission work with other governments to regulate the use of fireworks.
New at six, 9&10's Vanessa Fayz explains their concerns, and how the commission plans to help.

When Superstorm Sandy hit the east coast, many hospitals also lost power which added to the chaos as patients flooded in. If a disaster were to hit the Tri-States, would area hospitals be ready?
Doug Ruble, Vice President of Facilities at Hannibal Regional Medical Center say they are ready for any type of mass casualty event.
Ruble says they do a lot of planning, training, and exercises throughout the year. In case of a power failure, the hospital has emergency generators and tests them regularly.
"We run the generators 30 minutes a week. We visually inspect them everyday, we remotely monitor the condition of the emergency generators. And we test them for one hour each month under a full load condition," said Ruble.
Ruble also says if the generators fail the hospital does have an evacuation plan. He says they tested this evacuation plan two weeks ago. With 25 volunteers servicing patients they moved patients from their patient tower to an off-site location in just 10 minutes.
"Well we'd try to provide help for the entire community. We have contingency plans established where if there's a chance that we wouldn't be able to handle a surge, we have memorandums of understanding with all regional hospitals where they could send patients," said Ruble.

National Horse Stuck in a Swimming Pool Day
Horse free from swimming pool in Palm Beach County
By Brett Clarkson Sun Sentinel
5:12 p.m. EST, December 18, 2012
A horse trapped in a western Palm Beach County swimming pool was lifted out of the water just about 6 p.m. Tuesday, said Palm Beach County Fire Rescue Capt. Albert Borroto.
Palm Beach County Fire Rescue got the call at 4:24 p.m. of a horse stuck in the pool in the 2300 block of Fawn Drive in Deer Run, near Lion Country Safari nearWellington. When they arrived, Borroto said the
owner of the horse was with the animal, and that the horse was in no apparent distress or danger.
Borroto said a veterinarian came to assist in the rescue of the horse, which the owner said was 30 years old. A wrecker and sling were used to help get the horse safely out of the pool.
It was not yet known how the horse ended up in the pool, Borroto said.

Valley firefighters rescue horse from pool
by OTHELLO RICHARDS & KREM.com Posted on December 18, 2012 at 12:22 PM
SPOKANE VALLEY, Wash. — Spokane Valley firefighters spent their morning on an unusual rescue mission.
Crews pulled a horse out from a resident's pool Tuesday in the 12000 block of E. Montgomery.
The pool owner noticed a hump under the pool's cover when she gazed out of her window. She went outside to find Missy, the horse from next door.
Missy refused to use the stairs and walk out of the bitter cold water herself. Firefighters eventually built a makeshift ramp, and she easily made her way out of the pool.
Missy punched a hole in the bottom of the pool, which helped drain the water and likely prevented her from contracting pneumonia. Missy's owner said she suffered scratches on her eye and nose, but is doing well.
"I'm a little shook up," owner Jennie Delaney said. "But I'm a lot better now."
The pool owner's fence blew over Monday, thanks to a massive wind storm. Delaney suspects Missy was wandering around the yard attempting grab an apple from a tree, but ended up wandering into unexplored territory.
The homeowner has calls into her insurance company for her fence, and now, her pool.
Habitat for Horses is a 501.c.3 nonprofit equine protection organization supported solely by donations. We have around 200 donkeys and horses under our care, plus one ornery, old mule. Most of them are here because law enforcement removed them from their previous owner. Our ability to rehabilitate and rehome them comes from the financial support of people like you. Please support us by making a donation for the horses we all serve. Click HERE to donate

After a couple of their best weeks of the season, the organization had one of their worst weeks, finishing with a 16-21 record.
Player movement slowed a bit, however, there were several moves beginning with Ft. Myers catcher Caleb Moore being assigned to Elizabethton where he will be converted to a pitcher. To replace Moore, Allan de San Miguel was promoted to the Miracle with recent 19th round pick Ben Petsch being promoted to Beloit. David Hernandez was promoted from the GCL Twins to Elizabethton to replace Petsch. Pitcher Nick Lobanov left the GCL Twins to join a Russian National Team for the remainder of the summer. Brian Buscher was called up by the Twins with Darnell McDonald being returned to Rochester after a brief stay with the Twins. To make room for Buscher on the 40-man roster, outfielder Josh Rabe was transferred to the 60-man disabled list which I believe now stands at four. New Britain slugger Brian Peterson was put on the DL. Danny Valencia was the FSL Player of the Week and D.J. Romero was the Appalachian League Player of the Week.
Rochester Red Wings (AAA) (6-3, 57-50)
The Wings had an excellent week and continue their battle for a playoff spot. They now trail Scranton by only 3.0 games and trail Buffalo by 1.5 games for a Wild Card spot.
Ryan Mullins has struggled in his first two outings for the Wings. This week he pitched 4.0 innings with 7 hits, 6 runs (5 earned) and 3K/0BB. Ryan is 0-1 with a 18.0 era in 7.0 innings. Kevin Slowey had a very good start in a 2-3 ten inning loss when he pitched 6.0 innings with 4 hits, 1 run and 6K/1BB. Last night he wasn't as sharp as the Wings lost 2-4 behind Kevin's 6.0 innings with 9 hits, 4 runs and 3K/2BB. Is Kevin thinking about rumors and the pending Trade deadline? The best start this week was from Brian Bass who pitched 7.0 innings in Thursday's 3-2 win...with 3 hits, 0 runs and 7K/0BB. Brian now has a 4-2 record with a 4.14era. Jason Miller appeared in 4 games and now has a 3.48era while Julio DePaula also appeared in 4 games with his era down to 2.79. Carmen Cali has continued to be excellent in 4 relief appearances this week with 5.1 innings, 6 hits, 1 run and 3K.2BB...his era is now 2.49.
Many of the Wings hitters have seen their averages drop this week. Jose Morales was 7 for 25 with his average now at .342. It wasn't that long ago that Matt Tolbert was flirting with .400, however, last night his average dipped to .299. Garrett Jones continues to lead the team in many categories, including home runs (11), rbi (59) and doubles (31). Doug Deeds was one Wing who was on a tear, going 10 for 23 with a double, triple, 1 rbi and 4 runs scored...and now has his average up to .240.
New Britain Rock Cats (AA) (0-6, 47-53)
The Cats couldn't get a win this week and remain in 4th place, 14.0 games behind Trenton. Doesn't this team have more talent than their record indicates?
The pitching staff was lead by Anthony Swarzak who had his best outing of the season in the Cats 0-3 loss on Wednesday. Swarzak pitched 7.0 shutout innings with 2 hits and 11K/0BB...dropping his era to 3.12 with 41K/14BB in 43.1 innings. He appears to be focused and intent upon reclaiming his top prospect status following his earlier season problems. Yohan Pino has struggled in his first exposure to AA with a 17.18era in his first 3.2 innings. Oswaldo Sosa has been better, but not as successful as he was at Ft. Myers. In his two starts this week, Sosa pitched 5.0 innings on Sunday, allowing 8 hits, 2 runs and 2K/1BB. Last night he again pitched 5.0 innings with 6 hits, 4 runs and 3K/2BB. Jose Mijares made three appearances with 3.1 innings, 1 hit, 1 run and 3K/2BB. Recently promoted Angel Garcia has been excellent. In 4 appearances, Garcia has pitched 5.0 innings with 2 hits, 2 runs, 4K/3BB for a 3.60era.
The Cats didn't score alot this week, yet, Garrett Guzman had an excellent week, going 8 for 22 with 3 doubles, 1 run, 5 rbi, is hitting .283 and leads the team with 63 rbi. Matt Moses saw his average drop .027 points down to .284. Shortstop Trevor Plouffe is now leading the team in hitting with a .286Ave while also leading with 58 runs scored, 28 doubles and is tied with Roberts for the team lead with 10 stolen bases. Brandon Roberts is their regular lead off man with his average up to .281. Prior to going on to the DL, Brock Peterson was tied with Guzman with the second most home runs on the team with 11 to go with his 45 rbi, 17 doubles and a .276Ave.
Ft. Myers Miracle (Hi-A) (3-3, 17-18, 30-40 1st half)
The Miracle remained a game under .500, in 5th place 6.0 games behind Dunedin.
Errol Simonitsch made two appearances on his road back from injury. Errol pitched 8.0 innings with 11 hits, 4 runs and 6K/1BB. Jeff Manship had an excellent outing and now has a 5-1 record with a 2.61era following his 7.0 inning performance with 6 hits, 1 run and 12K/3BB. Jeff now has 41K/14BB in 38.0 innings which confirms that his early season performance at Beloit was no fluke. Armando Gabino has been solid all season for the Miracle with a 3.16era. Jay Rainville had another solid start, pitching 5.2 innings with 5 hits, 3 runs (2 earned) and 4K/1BB.
Brian Dinkelman continues to lead the team in hitting with a .322Ave following a week when he was was 6 for 21 with his 5th home run. Danny Valencia followed his award winning week with a 2 for 21 week which saw his average dip nearly .040 to .285Ave, however, he continues to lead the organization with 15 home runs. Steve Tolleson was again solid with a 6 for 15 week while Juan Portes was the hitting star with 9 hits in 22 at bats (.409Ave) including 2 doubles, 2 runs scored and 4 rbi with his average up to .264. Erik Lis had 3 doubles during his 7 for 22 week and is now hitting .260Ave.
Beloit Snappers (A) (4-2, 19-13, 44-26 1st half)
The Snappers remain tied for second with Quad Cities 1.5 games behind Peoria.
The Snappers have two 19 year-old pitchers whom are amongst the best in the organization and both are again worthy of Player of the Week recognition. Alex Burnett made two starts this week with a 1-1 record. Burnett got the win last Saturday when he pitched a 7.0 inning shutout with only 3 hits and 8K/2BB. Last night he got the loss as the Snappers were shutout, 0-1. Burnett however, pitched 6.0 innings with 5 hits, 1 run and 3K/0BB...and now has a 6-6 record with a 2.90era. Tyler Robertson was a third round pick in the 2006 draft who has performed as well as any pitcher in the organization since his early season promotion from EST. Tyler had one start this week, pitching 6.2 innings with 4 hits, 2 runs and 5K/1BB. Tyler has 69 strikeouts in 64.2 innings with a 5-2 record and 1.81era. Matt Fox had another solid start on his recovery road, pitching 6.0 innings with 9 hits, 3 unearned runs and 3K/2BB. Anthony Slama has stepped into the closer role with 2 appearances this week, earning 1 save in 3.1 innings with 1 hit, 0 runs and 7K/0BB...and now has a 2.57era with 12 strikeouts in 7.1 innings. Rochester native Aaron Craig also had a solid week, pitching 4.0 innings with 1 hit and 1 unearned run.
Ben Petsch, who was promoted to replace de San Miguel, was 3 for 9 in his first few games. Catcher Wilson Ramos continues to be one of this years success stories...as he continues to lead the team with a .284Ave following his 6 for 19 week with 2 doubles and 5 rbi. Centerfielder Joe Benson was 6 for 21 with a triple, 5 runs scored, 3 rbi and his team leading 14th stolen base. Top prospect Chris Parmalee got 2 more rbi for a team high 52 while raising his average a point to .244. Eli Tintor who had struggled at Ft. Myers may have found his stroke this week, going 8 for 23 while raising his average to .232 in 99 at bats.
Elizabethton Twins (Rookie) (1-4, 24-10)
The Twins came back to earth this week as second place Kingsport cut 3.0 games off their lead which now stands a 6.5 games.
Their starting pitchers had several very good starts, with Henry Reyes allowing only 1 unearned run in 5.0 innings with 2 hits and 7K/4BB; Michael McCardell allowing 7 hits and 3 runs in his second start with 8K/0BB; Michael Tarsi pitched 4.0 innings with 4 hits, 2 runs (1 earned) and 4K/1BB; and Michael Allen pitching 4.0 innings with 7 hits, 2 runs and 3K/0BB. Caleb Moore made his first appearance as a pitcher, pitching 1.0 inning with 1 hit, 0 runs and 1K/0BB. Brad Tippett made two relief appearances, pitching 4.0 innings with 0 hits, 0 runs and 5K/0BB. Tippett now has a 4-0 record, 0.51era, 0.57WHIP and 24K/2BB in 17.2 innings. Recent 10th round selection Blair Erickson now has made 6 appearances, 5.1 innings, with 3 hits, 1 unearned run and 6K/1BB.
Several of the big E-Ton bats slowed this week, however D.J. Romero remained hot with a 6 for 15 week including 2 doubles, 3 runs and 4 rbi. Ozzie Lewis continues to lead the team in hitting with his .314Ave following a 3 for 16 week. Recently signed catcher Dan Lehman is hitting .313Ave while catcher Greg Yersich is hitting .306Ave.
GCL Twins (Rookie) (3-2, 22-8)
The Twins remain in first, 2.0 games ahead of the surging Orioles.
Dan Berlind leads the team with 31.0 innings following 1 appearance this week when he pitched 6.0 innings with 5 hits, 1 run and 4K/2BB...Dan now has a 4-0 record with a 0.87era and 0.97WHIP. Aussie Liam Hendriks made one start, pitching 3.1 innings and now has a 1-1 record, 2.40era and 10K/5BB in 15.0 innings. Fellow Aussie Jarrd Eacott made another 2 appearances, pitching 3.2 innings with 5 hits, 1 unearned run and 3K/1BB. Eacott now has a 2-0 record with a 0.49era and 0.98WHIP. Closer Danny Rondon has a 0.64era and 10K/8BB in 14.0 innings with a 1-0 record and 7 saves.
Recently signed second round pick, catcher Dan Rams has been hot with 13 hits in his first 30 at bats, hitting .433Ave with 1 double, 1 triple and 7 rbi. Second baseman Jeanfred Brito was 5 for 17 and is now hitting .325Ave. Ben Revere is hitting .324Ave with 16 rbi, 24 runs, 3 doubles and 6 triples in 102 at bats. He also has 11 stolen bases in 13 attempts. It is very early, however, the Twins scouts may have been correct in recommending that they take this young man in the first round.
Player of the Week
It may be surprising that a pitcher with a record of 2-14 could ever be considered for Player of the Week recognition. However, this young man has pitched so well several times this season that this week is not the first that he has been in the hunt for this recognition.
Yes Zach Ward has a 2-14 record and again lost his only decision this week, yet he is definitely worthy of recognition as this week's Player of the Week. In his first outing of the week, he pitched 8.0 innings with 6 hits, 2 unearned runs and 9K/1BB. He followed that up with a start on Thursday when he actually had the lead after 2.0 innings with 0 hits, 0 runs and 3K/1BB...when the rains came and the game was suspended. The Miracle went on to win that game last night with Errol Simonitsch pitching 4.1 innings and getting the win.
For the week, Zach appeared in 2 games with 10.0 innings pitched, 6 hits, 2 unearned runs and 12K/2BB. For the season, Zach has that 2-14 record with a 3.03era, 1.17WHIP and 84K/24BB in 101.0 innings.
We are all aware that Ward is the pitcher the Twins received from the Reds in the Kyle Lohse trade late last summer. Zach is a North Carolina native who was drafted by the Reds in the 3rd round of the 2005 draft out of Gardner-Webb University. He was one of the top pitchers in the Midwest League prior to last year's trade. Pitching for Dayton, Zach had a 7-0 record and 2.29era in 20 games, 114.0 innings with 95K/37BB while allowing opposing hitters to hit for only a .188 Average. He did not appear to be the same pitcher following the trade as he compiled a 1-4 record with the Snappers, pitching 30.1 innings with a 5.93era and 23K/11BB while giving opposing hitters a .250 Avereage.
Although his won-loss record is the worst in the system since the man he was traded for lost 20 at New Britain, he appears to be an excellent prospect who certainly has a bright future in the Twins organization.

A Colbert County family says that thieves have targeted a small cemetery for long enough and they want them to stop.
Pauline Smallwood said her family likes to keep her granddaughter's gravesite decorated, as a way to help the family cope with the sudden loss of the 24-month-old toddler three years ago. But ever since the toddler was laid to rest, thieves have targeted the gravesite, taking hooks, angels and chimes, and breaking items they cannot pull up.
"When you come back up here and see that it's gone, it is so painful and hurtful because it seems like every time anything's missing, we're constantly going back a step instead of trying to go forward with this," said Smallwood.
Smallwood and her daughter Teresa Cagle are pleading with the thieves to let the little girl rest in peace.
"Please stop. Leave it alone. The baby's never hurt anybody. If they need things, we'd buy it for them before they have to come and steal it. All they have to do is say 'Where did you find that,' or 'Can I borrow some money to go and buy me one?' I'd be more than glad to," said Smallwood.
She also has a message for those responsible. "I don't know who they are, but God does. My mama always told me; don't do anything bad to anyone, because it will come around."
"What goes around comes around."

We're excited to announce we have a new blend! We've reformulated our Pacific Seafood blend, using bright notes of citrus and lemongrass; this Pacific Seafood blend incorporates flavors from the Pacific Northwest all the way to Thailand. Using a delicious process of trial-and-error, while taking into account staff and customer feedback, our fearless leader and accomplished blend artist Amanda created this blend for a wide variety of seafood. We all agree that using it as a rub for seared scallops is where it really shines. The versatility of the Pacific Seafood blend lets these scallops be the shinning star of a huge number of varying meals. Start with the recipe below and see where your culinary creativity takes you!
- Generously season the flat side of each scallop with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Don't worry about over-salting with this blend, it's salt free!
- Press each scallop in to the Pacific Seafood Blend.
- Heat the oil and butter in a heavy bottom skillet until it is almost smoking.
- Carefully place each scallop in the pan, spice side down.
- Let the scallops get a nice dark crust on them. This will take 2-3 minutes. It is important not to move the scallops around while the crust is forming. Resist the urge to flip, nudge, or even touch them.
- Once you have a nice golden brown crust, flip the scallops and continue to cook for another minute or so.
- A perfectly done scallop will still have lots of "give" in it when gently pressed with a finger. If the scallop is hard or springy, it's overcooked.

Can I Advertise On Rightmove Without An Estate Agent?
February 9th, 2012 by andrew
We often get asked by home owners if it is possible to advertise their property on Rightmove privately rather than go through an estate agent. The short answer is 'no' and Rightmove is very careful to ensure only Estate Agents can list their properties on their site after kicking out all the private sellers and non 'estate agent' companies a few years ago.
Rightmove has chosen to do this to provide a better quality of service for home buyers and keep estate agents happy which both result in a more profitable business and happier Rightmove shareholders.
The reason why this provides a better quality of service for home buyers is that unlike private home sale websites, estate agents have to comply with the Estate Agency Act of 1979 and the Misdescriptions Act of 1991 which ensured that amongst other things, estate agents had to visit the properties they were advertising, organise all viewings, inform vendors of all offers and under no circumstances advertise properties details that they know to be false or misleading.This was not the case for private selling companies who relied on the details provided by private home sellers – in the vast majority of cases they never checked the accuracy of the information they were displaying. Understandably, Rightmove did not want property searchers to be presented with property information they could not rely on or advertise the contact details of private home sale companies who did not have to provide clients with certain standards of service.
In the short term Rightmove may have got some additional revenue from signing up these private home sale websites but over time they risked losing web visitors due to displaying poor quality property information and losing fees from estate agents who did not want to share advertising space with private home sale companies who could undercut their fees.
So What About Online Estate Agents – Why Are They Allowed on Rightmove?
Online Estate Agents have to comply with Estate Agency Act of 1979 and the Misdescriptions Act of 1991 and should not be confused with private house sale sites. The main difference between online estate agents and normal estate agents is that online estate agents normally don't do accompanied viewings. However, given that nearly all traditional estate agents are online and many don't actually accompany all/any of their viewings the distinction between the two is not that clear cut.

April is here, and that makes me happy because the weather in my part of the country is lovely right now. But this month also contains some great entertainment stuff: one of my favorite annual celebrations, a really cool live radio event, and some buzzworthy new CD and DVD releases. Ready to dive into April (without any foolin')? Just hit "start." This Is Water by David Foster Wallace What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 According to the description for this book, the late David Foster Wallace only spoke publicly about his views on life once: during his 2005 Kenyon College commencement address. The speech was published in newspapers after his death, but many of his fans might want it bound and on their bookshelves. This Is Water: Some Thoughts, Delivered on a Significant Occasion, about Living a Compassionate Life will be available April 14. Source 1 / 7 Death Cab For Cutie: The Open Door EP What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Recently, Death Cab for Cutie released the album Narrow Stairs (which I've been enjoying). Apparently there were four tracks that didn't make it onto the album because the tone didn't quite fit with the rest of the release. So, this month, you can pick them up on this new EP, in stores April 14 and on iTunes now! Source 2 / 7 Record Store Day What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 I love the idea of Record Store Day mostly because I love record stores. The annual celebration of the independently owned record store started a couple of years ago and includes special vinyl and CD releases as well as local concerts across the country. To check out what's going down on April 18 in your neck of the woods, head over to the official site. Source 3 / 7 Skins Volume 2 on DVD What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 If Gossip Girl and 90210 aren't doing it for you lately, I recommend diving into the British teen soap Skins. The show pushes major boundaries when it comes to language, nudity, and the topics addressed. Plus: Dev Patel! The second volume is out April 14. Source 4 / 7 This American Life: Live! What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 This event is going on my calendar ASAP. On April 23, Ira Glass will host an episode of the radio program This American Life live onstage and will blast it via satellite to theaters all over the country.

I'm glad Max Magee at TheMillionsBlog.com distilled this for us last week — because even in its distilled form, it hurts my head. Read here about the new Amazon Kindle, versus mobile Google Books.
Will e-books take over the world? Will the publishing industry go the way of the music industry? Most writers hope not, and many readers too. I just, for example, got the estimated page count for Long For This World from my publisher (288), and a little thrill shot through me. Pages. I started to imagine and wonder about paper stock, dimensions, font…
But the good news, of course, is that literature will be more accessible to more people in more formats. Theoretically. We'll see (cautious optimism / managed pessimism, etc.)…

The recent press on Caroline Kennedy's awkward bid for Hillary Clinton's Senate seat has me thinking about awkward self-promotion in general. At a party shortly after CK's announcement to seek the seat, a guest recalled that, when asked about it, "She folded her arms over her chest…and disappeared into herself—a characteristic gesture."
When I encounter other artists who seem perfectly at ease promoting their work — and promoting it aggressively, either in person or via any number of on-line venues — I think wow. I think how do they do it. I think, a little, ew. When I send out an email announcing something — this blog, a reading, a bit of good news — I feel, a little, gross.
I don't think Caroline Kennedy has low self-esteem — not any lower than your average person anyway.
Caroline Kennedy's friends are always saying how normal she is, and it appears that they are right. Normal people do not run for the Senate.
A political consultant who is also a friend of CK's said, "Most of us have modesty impulses—you don't want to brag—and you have to learn to defy these basic human impulses and say, 'I am the greatest, and here is why you need me for this job,' and do it without any hesitation or any doubt. Which is inhuman." Or maybe super-human?
I think sometimes that, for artists, there are two distinct kinds of ego: the ego to create, and the ego to promote. If one has the ego to create, but the primary audience is the self, then the ego to promote doesn't much come into it.
Last week I got my first taste of awkward publicity. They say no publicity is bad publicity, but… awkward publicity might be the exception to this. My high school class secretary somehow got hold of a stock bio I use for things like readings or teaching; it includes publishing credits, awards, etc. (I think I'd included him on the e-mail list when I sent an announcement for a reading last summer; attached was a press release, which included my bio). So that bio got printed, in full, in the alumni class notes. It read like a commercial. It read like I'd sent it in to be included in the class notes. To me, it read like ew.
At some point, self-promotion becomes less about ego and more about survival: if I do not sell books, I cannot support myself as a writer. Ms. Kennedy, however, was not in survival mode, because fortunately for her, she had a pretty good fall-back plan: she now gets to go back to being Caroline Kennedy.
And you know, I begrudge her not; in fact, I'm thinking, if I had had that fall-back plan, I probably would have done the same.
(quotes source: Larissa McFarquhar's profile of Caroline Kennedy in The New Yorker)

Today, I learn about permissions.
I'd hoped to use an excerpt from a Louise Gluck poem for the epigraph to Long For This World. The author (me) is responsible for securing reprint permissions, so after reading over (three times) a document from my publisher which describes how to do this (I'm still not 100% clear on the legalese) I find the Rights & Permissions page at Farrar Straus and Giroux (Gluck's publisher) and discover this:
We do not allow editing or re-titling of any selection. Your selection must be reproduced verbatim, as a continuous, uninterrupted excerpt, without alteration, deletion, editing, abridgement or condensation.
Well, darn. The entire poem would be too long for an epigraph.
The part of the permissions-explaining document which I understood very clearly was this:
For poets who have been dead more than 70 years, you do not need permissions.
I have no idea who came up with the 70 years rule (or why); but it's a good thing I had Rilke (1875-1926) in mind as a backup.

"It's not that he's a Luddite — he buys songs on iTunes and does late-night YouTubing like everyone else — or a misanthrope who believes that art was better in someone else's day. 'I know there's great stuff out there. But I don't want to be influenced by stuff that's going on around me. I'm more interested in consuming stuff that's stood the test of time and the hard work of filtering has already happened…'
"For Mr. Ward… success has been a slow and steady build. In the decade since he moved to Portland to record his first album, he has supported himself through music — a reflection of the city's livability as well as his career as a sideman."
Part of my ongoing tracking of other "analogians." See what else indie musician M. Ward has to say about the "homemade" in this NY Times article (2/15/09). Ward's new album released today.
It's all happening in Portland these days, isn't it? I hope the city is able to keep its DIY soul for years to come. Speaking of which, check out my friend Elizabeth Dye's blog. After grad school, where we first met, E. decided she wanted to "teach herself how to sew." Now she's an acclaimed fashion designer and co-owner of The English Dept, a boutique in Portland.

"My mother's was, I think, a nineteenth-century consciousness… this is far from the register in which ambition expresses itself in the early twenty-first century. A reader looking for irony will find none." --David Rieff on the early journals of his mother Susan Sontag
(So I'm almost done with the Sontag journals.)
Long for This World is a novel in which a traditional rural culture and modern (media) culture collide. Its "register," for me, is hard to pinpoint — I will leave that to readers and critics. But I will say that, for the most part, "a reader looking for irony will find none."
I got nothin' against irony. As a writer, I enjoy riffing in ironic registers as much as the next guy. Here's a draft passage from my novel-in-progress, Sebastian & Frederick:
Joe Sonnenberg was, among other things, a superb arguer. His penchant—more like zeal—for nose-bloodying debate (always above the belt, but sharp weaponry permitted) created the exact conditions, the parameters, in which I felt free to chuck things against the wall and see what would stick. Joe was our Socrates and our Ali in one. "The question, Lee, is who the fuck cares? You're sinking dangerously into the swamp of subjectivity here. The general reader doesn't care enough about you to care about the boyhood memory that came to you when you entered that interrogation room. Get your goddamned childhood outta there, for Chrissakes…"
Joe was a newspaper man, a Senior News Editor, before coming to World. It was a controversial hire, he was much more rough-and-tumble—a yeller, a gesticulator, a phone-slammer, with black brillo-pad hair and giant hands—than the refined Marsden Letts (Yalie, author, curator, lecturer) who preceded him. But the magazine had begun losing readership during the last years of the Letts reign, alienating, they used to joke, Gerard and Gillian Master's Degree, who couldn't get beyond all-but-dissertation and thus missed the subtle intonations of Lettsian World intellect and humor. Joe Sonnenberg may have been rougher 'round the edges than some, but the hiring circle—that's what they called it, a circle—and anyone who'd ever worked with Joe, knew that his mind was as sharp and brilliantly nuanced as any; and that he understood the business of media.
What fun, writing this passage! And yet, who knows if it will make the cut in later drafts. An ironic voice is not easy to sustain, not if it's also going to be compelling and on some level trustworthy. The truth is, my natural temperament, and my novelistic interests, are probably, like Sontag's, more 19th-century than 21st-century.
This is a journal where art is seen as a matter of life and death… And [Sontag] never lacked for people who tried to get her to relax.
Sontag would never have been a blogger. Too much built-in expectation for blip and byte, for irony and entertainment.
Well, God help me; 11-and-a-half months to go…
Question 33)
11 February 2009
AUTHOR QUESTIONNAIRE — Question # 33) For what audience is your book primarily written?
What a question. What I mean is, that's quite a question. For one thing, it assumes there exists an answer.
From the writer's perspective, it is not unlike–is in fact related to–the question of why we write. And the answer, I confess, is not so noble or generous as one might hope…
I write for myself. In other words, I am the audience for which my book is primarily written. "The only reader [the writer] can know anything about is himself," wrote Flannery O'Connor.
But so as not to upset my publisher, I give it another go. I think less in terms of demographics, and more in terms of bookshelves: if you have these books on your bookshelf, then my book is, generally speaking, written for you. What would those books be? Here is where I need an Amazon.com mathematician, the guys (or gals) who create the algorithms for "Your Recommendations"–if you liked Attack of the Disco Rice, you'll also like…
The question, I suspect, is formulated for an answer that looks something more like this: women, professional, 30-65; gay men, 25-45; possessors of a passport; HBO subscribers.
Seriously, though, let's go at it straight: Long For This World is written for people who read literature for both pleasure and meaning. I think I could slap that on the product label and feel pretty good about it.
