The River Lemon: From Haytor to Lyme Bay, Devon
The river Lemon, a tributary of the Teign, starts on Dartmoor by Haytor, and ends up in Lyme Bay. Its journey takes in some interesting countryside and glides by some historic buildings on the way. Emerging amongst granite, with an exquisite view, it finds a way over clay for potteries, by an ancient tramway, then a canal, a railway, a race course and a malt house. It ends its short journey shortly having passed a Passmore library.
From Dartmoor to the Sea
The river Lemon is derived from the Celtic word meaning 'elm'. It rises near to Haytor on Dartmoor, some 450 metres above sea level. You can see the sea at Teignmouth from the top of Haytor, which is a tor in Devon, and is, in this case, a very striking granite outcrop, near to where the Templer family extracted that same mineral. (The quarry is now a Site of Special Scientific Interest.)
The granite was used to build several parts of London, including London Bridge, the old General Post Office and parts of the British Museum. It was transported down to lower levels on a 16km granite tramway (opened in 1820, and hewn from solid granite), which went to Bovey Tracey, and then to the Stover canal, which later was to become a key route for ball clay from the Bovey basin.
One of the chief destinations for the clay included the Wedgwood potteries. The clay was trans-shipped from the docks at Teignmouth, reached by travelling along the river Teign, into which the river Lemon flows, a little beyond Newton Abbot town centre.
Ball clay is still sent from Teignmouth, from quarries in the Bovey basin, to many parts of the world, for making fine ceramic pottery.
Dartmoor is a very large sponge, or at least, it behaves like one. It also contains more than 600 sq km of granite, the largest outcrop in Britain, mostly hidden under the spongy material (also known as peat bog), which Sherlock Holmes famously had to deal with, along with a fearsome hound. Tors escape the grasp of the bog by being too high, and exposed, for the peat to form.
Bogs store and release much water. This fell as rain, and on the high moor it amounts to about 2m in a typical year. It then flows down to the sea in streams and rivers, across land with a variety of owners including the Duke of Cornwall, the Ministry of Defence, the Dartmoor National Park Authority, the National Trust, various water companies, (which divert some of it to reservoirs for the towns and cities on the edge of Dartmoor), the Forestry Commission and the Dartmoor Commoners. Some of it feeds the river Lemon.
The Templer Family
James Templer was born in Exeter in 1722, ran away to India, reputedly made a fortune from building the Madras docks and returned to buy the Stover Estate in 1765. This he renovated. His son, James II, built the Stover Canal in 1792. James II's son, George, built the granite tramway to link the granite quarries to the sea. The tramway was partially replaced by a steam railway in the latter part of the 19th Century. This went from Newton Abbot to Moretonhamstead, and is now disused, with parts converted to a bridleway on National Trust land next to the river Bovey.
Once the Templers moved on, the Stover Estate was sold and converted, and today is a public school, a golf course, a caravan park and a nature reserve. The nature reserve, run by Devon County Council, is also home to the poetrypoetry trail. The public school is housed in the Templer's original stately home, which has an unusual outbuilding, used for fox-breeding.
The Templers are also remembered by a trail, which starts at Haytor and ends 29km later, after six easy stages, at the Templer's New Quay in Teignmouth, following the path of the tramway, railway, canal and the river Teign. It ends with a relaxing ferry crossing at Shaldon.
The Route of the Lemon
The river Lemon is only 16km long. From Haytor it gallops down to Bradley Manor, through mainly deciduous woodland, passing the once home of Lord and Lady Tebbit, and further downstream, close to the once home of Oliver Heaviside. Then it disappears underneath Newton Abbot, via a 400m tunnel. Newton Abbot was recently blessed with a new supermarket, during the building of which part of the river route was renovated.
The Lemon then joins the river Teign, just before the Teign estuary, passing a racecourse and a malt house on its way. In the past it has flooded the town from time to time, and as part of the flood defences a dam was built at Holbeam, which stores excess water. This has solved the problem.
The Tebbits bought a house on the route of the Lemon, after the Brighton bombing in 1984, in which the IRA set out to kill the members of the UK government at the Conservative Party annual conference. Lady Tebbit was severely injured. Since then she has been confined to a wheelchair. They no longer live there, but the searchlights and evidence of heavy police protection can be seen.
Bradley Manor is one of the few buildings owned by the National Trust that is still lit by candles and doesn't have central heating. Built around 1400, it is one of the most complete medieval manor houses in Devon and has a collection of Pre-Raphaelite paintings and its own chapel. The Great Western Railway built a series of steam engines in Swindon, named the Manor Class, including the Bradley Manor, which has been preserved by the Severn Valley Railway. These were light enough to be able to travel across Brunel's Tamar Bridge.
Oliver Heaviside, the eccentric scientist and engineer, lived close to the Lemon. He was nominated for a physics Nobel prize, but it was awarded that year to a man who designed a pump and the Aga cooker. He discovered the Heaviside Layer and reformed Maxwell's equations using modern terminology. He also made important discoveries that made high-speed telegraph communications possible. (Einstein also used some of his ideas in formulating the Theory of Relativity).
John Lethbridge also lived close to the route of the Lemon. He invented a diving device, fed by air via a hand pump, in which to retrieve sunken treasure. He made a fortune from it, collecting three tons of silver from one ship alone. His grave is in Wolborough churchyard nearby.
Next, the river dives under the Passmore Edwards library. John Passmore Edwards bequeathed money to have around 70 major public buildings created, many in London, and one in Devon (in 1904), perhaps the most striking building he was associated with. It was built as a memorial to his mother.
Tucker's Maltings is a traditional malt house and is open to the public. It produces malt for more than 30 breweries and enough for 15 million pints a year. A beer festival is hosted every year, with around 200 real ales.
The final event for the Lemon is the racecourse, which is the leading summer jumping racecourse in the UK. At other times it runs 20 car boot sales.
Another Journey
The Lemon joins the Teign just beyond Newton Abbot railway station, which is on the Paddington to Penzance line. That line is noted for its spectacular scenery between Exeter and Teignmouth. Brunel built the railway line close to the seashore, despite warnings that the sea would inundate it. He went ahead anyway, and it is frequently flooded during winter storms. The Lemon doesn't care; it has reached the open sea where it will start another journey, back to clouds and rain.

In 2008, the President Obama "Hope" t-shirts and posters were everywhere, so popular that the image became iconic. You don't see the image much anymore, with President Obama's approval ratings sinking in the direction of the 40 percent level, according to the Real Clear Politics average. However, the "Hope" t-shirts are still being sold at a souvenir stand at Reagan National Airport for $12.99 apiece — although they don't command nearly as much shelf space as brightly colored, generic "Washington D.C." hoodies.

The video is a bit cheesy, but Patty Griffin has a terrific voice, and the video does sing about my native state, so . . . .
Friday Night Pizza
Driving home from the airport tonight, the road was clogged with pizza delivery vehicles. Jet's Pizza, Donatos, Papa John's . . . the pizza armada was out in full force, brutishly hogging the thoroughfares and (literally) feeding America's insatiable appetite for that boxed, lukewarm combination of crust, tomato sauce, cheese, and toppings.
It seems like Friday night is the biggest night for pizza delivery, in Columbus at least, and the "fun facts" section of pizzadelivery.com supports that hypothesis. It states that half of all the pizzas sold in American are sold on Friday and Saturday night. (Super Sunday is the biggest pizza delivery night of the year, of course, but that's a Super Special Occasion.)
Why is delivery pizza so popular on Friday night? I'm guessing that most of that pizza is eaten by families. Mom and Dad are exhausted by the time Friday night rolls around, the idea of fixing some kind of sit-down meal is anathema, and pizza at least allows the family to do something together. Mix in sleepovers, football games, and the other activities that command the activities of kids these days and you end up with a night where a food option that people can slam down on the go makes sense.
I'd also bet that Saturday morning is the biggest time for consumption of cold pizza.
America Then, America Now
Yesterday morning in Washington, D.C., I walked past Ford's Theater. A small, quaint red brick building among the modern concrete structures of downtown Washington, the theater looks as it did 150 years ago, on that terrible night when Abraham Lincoln was assassinated by John Wilkes Booth.
It's wonderful that Ford's Theate still exists; so much of American history has been erased in our never-ending quest for bigger and better that it's gratifying to see a place that played such an important part in our history has been preserved. So, too, has the house across the street where our greatest President died, and Edwin Stanton aptly said "Now he belongs to the ages."
America being what it is, however, you won't be surprised to learn that, among these sober living memorials to a dark chapter is a cheesy souvenir shop called Honest Abe Souvenir, which was having it's grand opening as we walked by. Because, after witnessing the place where American history took a grim turn and a great man breathed his last, who wouldn't want to buy an Honest Abe mug or T-shirt?
Found Lamb
I like it when the people setting up a business dinner meeting pick a really good restaurant. So when the hosts of a meeting in Houston tonight said we were going to Hugo's, I was a happy caballero.
Hugo's is a place that will change your conception of south of the border cuisine. The food is exceptionally good and willing to bend the rules a bit, and the sauces are delectable. Tonight I had the shredded suckling pig appetizer with a punchy habanero sauce, and the entree was this beautiful combo of little lamb chops and lamb sausage. Wash it down with a glass of Amarone, and you've got all the ingredients of a great business meeting.
It beats a PowerPoint presentation and a Danish any day!
Smell Not Covered
We got a laugh out of this painfully earnest sign on the inside of a rear passenger window of a D.C. taxi that took us to the airport today.
I'm not quite sure how a cabbie would determine "marital status" or "family responsibility" or "political affiliation" or "source of income" or other non-visible qualities. I do know that if one asked me about any of these topics he wouldn't need to discriminate against me — I'd never get into a taxi with a complete stranger who asked me such intrusive personal questions. (It's nerve-wracking enough to trust that complete stranger to drive you to your destination without incident, without wondering whether the personal inquisitiveness means he is a complete nutcase, if not an axe murderer.)
Although the list of protected characteristics is long, it is not exhaustive. It appears D.C cab drivers could still refuse to transport someone who smells awful, or displays visible signs of complete insanity, or is brandishing a hand grenade.
The act of tying a tie is a simple one — and also a pain for those of us who toil in jobs where we still are expected to wear a piece of fabric cinched around our necks — but that doesn't make its successful accomplishment any less satisfying.
For most of us unfortunates, the act of tying your tie to get ready for work is as rote as tying your shoe or starting the car in the morning. The process is so automatic and ingrained you don't even think about the individual steps.
II don't know the name of my tie-knotting technique and whether it produces a Windsor knot, a Four-in-hand, or something else. I just know that the chosen cravat is placed over my shoulders with the wide end on one side and the narrow on the other, and the relative length of each is adjusted by instinct. The wide end then is looped around the narrow, popped through a hole directly under my chin, and flopped on top of the narrow end and drawn down to make a reasonably acceptable knot. The last step is to tug down the narrow end until the gap between the tie and the shirt collar is closed and the button is no longer visible. Voila!
If I can accomplish this and avoid the dreaded "Oliver Hardy" look — where the narrow end is longer than the wide end, which ends up flapping forlornly on the belly — while also having the wide end reach belt level, the operation was a success. Extra points if I meet those goals and also produce the perfectly centered dimple.
It's the little things, especially on a Thursday morning.

JBL Remembers Eddie Guerrero on the 7 Year Anniversary of His Passing
by Staff - November 13, 2012
WWE announcer JBL has posted a new blog on Facebook remembering his fallen friend Eddie Guerrero, who passed away 7 years ago today. JBL wrote:
"I've written a lot about Eddie Guerrero and I never get tired of talking about my friend, this is the 7th anniversary of his passing.
Eddie was a groomsman in my wedding and I did part of his eulogy at his funeral, we were good friends-I really miss Eddie and so wish he were still around. We had so much fun together, and he meant more to my success than anyone.
The JBL character wasn't working and Eddie and Chavo Sr came up with the idea for the 'heart attack' of his mother on Mother's Day in his hometown of El Paso. I literally had a police escort out of town for my own safety that night, talk about heat.
This angle with CM Punk and Heyman faking a heart attack last night, I loved it-this is something Eddie would have loved also. People get worked up, and it is their choice to be offended by whatever they choose. I thought it was awesome, I just wish JBL could have done it!
Eddie did as much for me personally as he did professionally, he was a truly amazing guy.
The story of Chavo and Eddie getting into a heated argument backstage over the mother angle when Chavo started ribbing Eddie that Mrs Guerrero should take the clothesline was hilarious-it's just that no one saw it but me.
The match we had at Judgement Day set the attendance record at the Staples Center at the time, all off the heart attack angle. Again, if you are offended by the CM Punk story-it's your choice, but I got a guy wishing I was dead and several profanity filled Tweets over it. Really? Over a TV show, some have zero class when they can be keyboard warriors anonymously.
Also, the filming of Jerry as he was receiving medical care got some really nasty comments. If that was an NFL game or any event that had a ton of cameras around, do you think that a guy who has been told to film everything who has a camera on his shoulder would not film it. I thought it was all done very well and was one of the best Raws I have seen in some time.
I thought the welcome back of Jerry was great, I love Jerry and he is one of the best of all time. A true Hall of Famer. We share a birthday though his year is many decades ahead of me.
Here's highlights of the Judgement Day bloodbath, Eddie had to be taken to the hospital after this-I didn't realize at the time how much blood he was losing. Seeing the tape I am shocked.
I miss Eddie, would be great to have him around now after all these years and laugh and talk.

I made this recipe for a mother's day afternoon tea. The scones turned out beautiful, they rose nicely, were light and tasted delicious. The jam I found set slightly runny and all the fruit rose to the top - although I've never made jam before so it might have been something I did. I also didn't like the flavour of the jam - it was very vanillary which tended to drown out the strawberry, and it was very sweet. But will definately use this recipe whenever I need to make scones
Perfect for Easter morning Tea. Super easy. I used a little less than 1 cup of cream to stop mix being too sticky. Made 10. Cooked at 190 for 14 minutes.

My XML looks something like this (read it from file):
<date month="November" year="2001"/>
I'm trying to edit the year attribute value in the date element, let's say to be "3000". I'm using XmlDocument and XmlReader classes in order to edit this attribute, like this:
XmlDocument xml = new XmlDocument();
using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(xmlPath))
The problem is, that the XmlReader reads the XML like this:
<date month="November" year="2001"> </date>
Meaning, it adds the closing element to the date element. I'm saving the edited XML later with the Save method.
I need the final XML to be with short tags like the original XML. Is there a way to use the XmlReader without adding the closing element?

"The country is living in debt," Russian Prime Minister Vladimir Putin said yesterday when asked about the Grand Bargain the U.S. Congress is voting on today."It is not living within its means, shifting the weight of responsibility on other countries and in a way acting as a parasite."
History's cruel irony: The deficit spending justified in the 1980s to defeat the Soviet Union became "business as usual" for the ensuing three decades.
Yeah, that was pretty much our reaction, too…
The agreement cut yesterday to avert default "was not that great overall because it simply delayed the adoption of a more systemic solution," according to Putin, who was addressing a youth camp in central Russia.
"If the U.S. encounters a systemic malfunction, this affects everyone," he said. Thus does the prime minister suggest, and not for the first time, his own "more systemic solution."
"There should be other reserve currencies."
Russia holds $115 billion in U.S. Treasuries. That's only a 10th of China's holdings, but still nothing to sneeze at.
For its part, South Korea — the world's seventh-largest holder of U.S. dollars reserves — reacted to the "agreement" by announcing the Bank of Korea has tripled gold holdings over the past two months.
The $1.25 billion purchase is the first addition to Korean gold holdings since the Asian financial crisis of the late 1990s.
Thailand also made an announcement today. They added $900 million to their gold stash in June.
"The trend," says the Financial Times, "means central banks, sovereign wealth funds and other so-called 'official sector' buyers are on track to record their largest collective purchase of gold since the collapse of the Bretton Woods system, which pegged the value of the dollar to gold, in 1971."
With that, gold is powering into record territory this morning, the spot price currently up $17, to $1,637. Silver, meanwhile, has pushed past $40 again, sitting at $40.11 as we write.
Meanwhile, one of the "frontier markets" we follow is running away from the dollar in a different direction. Cambodia's stock market, opened last month, will allow trading in U.S. dollars… but only for the next three years. Then the Cambodian riel will take center stage.
According to the Asian Development Bank, U.S. dollars account for 90% of the currency in circulation in Cambodia. But that's due to change, says our contact on the scene — Leopard Capital chief and Vancouver speaker Doug Clayton.
"The U.S. dollar is losing its credibility from the reckless 'quantitative easing' programs of the U.S. Federal Reserve," he tells MarketWatch. "It is becoming unsafe for Cambodia to delegate its monetary policy to the bankrupt U.S., which hopes to inflate its way out of its recession and huge debts.
"Foreign investors would initially prefer to trade shares in dollars since that is simplest for them," he continues. "But once there are enough riels in circulation and sufficient liquidity in the foreign exchange market, trading shares denominated in riels will not pose any problems for investors."

He also co-authored international bestsellers Financial Reckoning Day and Empire of Debt with Bill Bonner.
It is better for a gradual move away from the dollar than a sudden collapse. As the dollar is discarded, prices in the US will surge. This will force clueless American voters to choose smaller government and hard money. The US will have to abandon the warfare-welfare state.
The US government will NEVER voluntarily shrink. NEVER.
The politicians played Russian roulette on its sovereign debt the past 2 weeks. Now that the game is over they declared themselves winners. They had a lot of fun and now can find another war, at home or abroad, to play.
But the world watched and decided the United States of America is a loser. Even the most solid friends and allies have decided it is time to put up a firewall and play another game. This Washington game of stupid brinkmanship, and the resulting grotesque 'deal', convinced the world that only the reality of losing the dollar reserve status can force responsibility in America.
Because the game of last week is in effect US politicians calling the world bluff. We will find out soon who is bluff.
Hahahahaha, as Mogambo Guru would say, "we're freaking doomed!"
I don't remember Russia complaining when we gave them billions in bailouts and subsidies after their collapse !
@BW — Citation please! Or did you just make that up? My recollection is that the west basically did nothing but rush in and try to grab everything that wasn't nailed down, all the while advising them to privatize everything in sight, contributing to the economic chaos in spades.
I suggest you read Naomi Kline 'Shock Doctrine' to purge your mind of falsehood about the US giving Russia after USSR collapse.
The exact reverse happened. The US government sent in 'shock doctors' to advise the ex-communists of how to convert to a capitalist system overnight. The idea is to privatize all of USSR at penny pricing so that US corporations can buy them up. The resulting slaughter of the Russia economy resulted in a total collapse and default of Russia's bonds. This is what some Russian officials referred to today, challenging the US to apply the same treatment it advised Russia 20 years ago. It's a thinly veiled joke on US 'shock treat' itself into oblivion.
Americans get 60 flavors of ice Cream, but only two politicaly, and they are wound around each other in one of those swirl type cones of soft ice cream. If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal.
The spending didn't continue Business as usual but rather became self justifying & self consuming after 911. Not everyone believes the official story but regardless take a couple of minutes to view this video of Donald Rumsfeld the day before 911.
Here they couldn't account for a small amount of money & yet no-one went to prison instead they accelerated the scam right through the other scam the GFC. All that money never disappeared it is still in the accounts of some who apparently were too big to fail! Amazing the Bush/Obama circus went about taking public money & swapped the debt with tax money. That means the people who did create the mess walked away with your taxes. If that's not scam you must be brain dead, the collapse is coming.
I'm with Scott.
Buy gold and silver now. Along with plenty of guns and ammunition. The USSA is finally going down! Obama, Bernanke and Geithner all deserve execution for treason.
Regardless of how you feel about the "green energy movement" there is no denying that solar power is becoming more mainstream. As it closes in on price parity with conventional electricity, more and more people are turning to solar as a viable source of energy. And that's great news for solar stocks. Greg Guenthner explains...
The Tapir, beloved pig-like mammal and financial machination, quietly passed away at 2:00 p.m. EST on October 29, 2014. He lived a misunderstood life and was held responsible for many things entirely out of his control. Nevertheless, he will be missed by all who thought they knew him...
From time to time, the curious economist in you may wonder, "How does a fiat currency system actually function?" and, further, "Why don't more countries default on their debt?" Well, it turns out there as a nifty little theory that explains exactly why these things happen. And the answers may surprise you. Chris Mayer explains...
QE3 officially came to an end today, with the Fed stopping its $15 billion monthly bond purchases. But what does that mean for the US economy going forward? Today, Bill Bonner explores that question, and why you probably haven't seen the last of QE just yet. Read on...
As U.S. gas prices continue to head lower, U.S. consumers are getting a little bonus to their disposable income. Some economists like to tout this as a "bullish indicator" for the overall economy. But as Jim Rickards explains in this interview with RT's Erin Ade, nothing could be further from the truth...

Putting healthcare in your hands.
Three weeks ago, I spent a night in the hospital. Not by choice, naturally. The day began as normal - cow milking, children wrangling, and breakfast baking.

The Literary Life

March/April 2003

A room is compensation for the ephemerality of a career. —Joseph Cornell
When James Merrill died in 1994, he willed his large, turn-of-the-century house on Water Street to the Borough of Stonington, Connecticut. The village improvement committee was free to use the building any way it desired; Merrill made no stipulation in his will. But the National Book Award–winning poet had been an important figure in the village's ongoing literary tradition. The committee decided to keep Merrill's legacy alive by creating a writer-in-residence program. Since 1996, a lucky poet or scholar has lived, for either six months or a full year, in Merrill's curious home across from the harbor. (No stipend is offered, and application is by nomination only.) Writers chosen for residency are notified more than a year in advance. Several Merrill House residents have reported "the happiest period of my life," surrounded by Merrill's books and knickknacks, far removed from the snarl of city life—Boston, New York, or Louisville, in our case.
My husband, Jeffrey Skinner, and I received our call to apply in late 2000. We submitted bios, books, and samples of projects we intended to work on, as well as proposals for community outreach. Months later, we were officially summoned to serve as 2002 James Merrill House poets-in-residence. We drove 913 miles east, arriving in a New England drizzle and damp.
The ground floor at 107 Water Street hosts a village barber, who is almost never without customers, and the Hungry Palette, a fabric shop. An eccentric retired priest lives on the second floor. The third and fourth floors were Merrill's domain, six rooms in which some of the most significant poetry of the last century was written.
It has to be said—upon seeing the apartment for the first time—we were startled by its modesty. "Not what I expected," Jeffrey murmured. Merrill's kitchen was renovated very simply during the '60s. His many prize certificates hung in inexpensive frames over a dented file cabinet, in marked contrast to the illustrious names signing off on the awards—W.H. Auden, Elizabeth Bishop, James Dickey.The parlor is small and dim, even with its oversized Baroque mirror that clears the ceiling by only a half-inch, even with the dazzling bat wallpaper mentioned in Merrill's epic poem The Changing Light at Sandover.
We passed through the parlor and climbed a precipitous staircase with brass handholds on the left and a strong wooden railing on the right. In an instant, our dark first impressions dissolved in a flush of sunlight.

No, past funding does not guarantee future funding.
Back to top
R&W funding supports writers fees only. Funding applications, however, must be submitted by the organization sponsoring the event. If the application is approved for funding, a check made payable to the writer will be sent to the sponsoring organization; the organization will give the check to the writer at the time of the event.
You may apply for $50 to $350 per writer for readings or literary performances. For workshops, you may apply for $100 to $200 per session. (NOTE: In California, we generally grant no more than $500 total for a workshop series.)
You may apply for as many writers as you'd like, but please keep in mind that Poets & Writers provides a maximum of $1,500 per organization annually in New York State and California, and $500 in Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Seattle, Tucson, and Washington, D.C. (This is due to the limited funds we have available in each jurisdiction.)
Posted 1.2.08
Yes, but you must submit a separate application for each writer.
No. But note that in California we fund no more than two out-of-state writers per organization per year (due to restrictions from our funders).
We fund emerging as well as established writers. Please list publication credits, which may include books (including chapbooks and self-published work), as well anthologized work. For performance-based writers, please list featured performance credits (date and venue) or include a published review of the presentation.
In order to lawfully pay a writer the grant money awarded, we must have his or her Social Security number. (If we pay more than $600 to an individual writer during the course of a year, we must by law report those payments to the IRS; the writer will receive a 1099.) Residents of countries outside of the United States are exempt from this requirement.
Yes, our application requires that you include the writer's Social Security number and address.
We are happy to make suggestions, but please keep in mind that we are not a booking agency and that you must contact the writer yourself.
We are happy to make suggestions if you are interested in giving a reading or workshop in a particular area or with a particular type of organization. You must then contact the organization yourself.
No. We cannot accept applications from writers, nor can we fund the project director, a board member, or any paid employee of the organization applying. However, writers can encourage organizations to apply on their behalf.
No. We're happy to fund a writer who incorporates performances by other artists in his or her presentation, but we can pay only the writer, not the other artists.
Yes, if original poetry, fiction and/or creative nonfiction is the primary focus of the piece.
No, writers are paid as independent contractors and are not employees of Poets & Writers.
Posted 9.11.08
Yes, as long as the translator is reading from his or her own translations and/or conducting a translation workshop in the categories of poetry, fiction, or creative nonfiction.
We fund readings and workshops taking place in any city in New York State or California, and in Atlanta, Chicago, Detroit, Houston, New Orleans, Seattle, Tucson, and Washington, D.C.
No. Please wait until you have the writer(s) booked before applying.
No. We do not fund programs that are exclusively for young children. We do fund programs for teenagers, families, and/or intergenerational audiences.
We fund events at colleges and universities, if they are open to the general public. We also fund events at high schools, if they are held after school. We do not fund events during the school day or for elementary school students.
All events must be open to the public unless they take place at venues that serve special populations, such as prisons, hospitals, and senior centers.
Yes. You may replace him or her with another writer, but please notify us as soon as possible prior to the event.
No. A private residence is not acceptable, but we do fund events at a variety of venues, such as community centers, parks, stores, cafes, businesses, schools, and libraries.
We typically review applications within four weeks of receiving them. You will receive an e-mail indicating that your application has been approved, declined, or is still pending—usually because we need more information. If you have not heard from us one month after submitting your application, please call to check on the status of your application.
Our goal is to have the organizations we work with match our portion of the writer's fee. However, we assess the needs and the capabilities of each organization and evaluate applications accordingly.
No. We do not accept in-kind contributions as matching fees. However, you can provide in-kind contributions in addition to a cash match. Also, writers may use the cash match for expenses such as travel and lodging if they choose.
If your grant has been approved, you will receive the check for the writer approximately three to six days before the event. As the sponsoring organization, you are responsible for giving the check to the writer.
Please notify us as soon as possible. We will stop the check and issue a new check, which may take a week or two to process. Please make sure to provide us with a reliable address (some project directors prefer to give us their home addresses). If the original check arrives after the new check is issued, please return it to the appropriate Poets & Writers office.
Posters, flyers, postcards, press releases, and newspaper clippings are all acceptable. We accept printouts of e-mail messages, web pages, and social media posts as well, but please keep in mind that online publicity should meet the same textual and graphic standards as any other type of publicity.
Poets & Writers publishes a free online Literary Events Calendar. We encourage you to post your R&W-funded event, and all of your literary events!
Poets & Writers publishes a free online Literary Events Calendar. We encourage you to post your R&W-funded event, and all of your literary events!
If multiple writers have been funded as part of one large program, you will need to fill out a separate online report for each writer, but may upload publicity files to just one of the reports. The timeliness with which you return reports will be taken into consideration when we review future applications from your organization.
Keep in mind that a detailed report, with a good description of the event and its impact on your community, will help Poets & Writers to raise more funds for the R&W program. A few extra minutes devoted to your report may have a direct impact on the funds we will be able to distribute next year. Thanks for your help in this regard!

Big pleasant surprise for me. I've tried a plethora of BB creams now and they either broke me out, were the wrong color, or felt just too heavy. I've heard others call this more of a TM....but then it's a Great TM. Goes on easily, matches my skintone (I have the lightest and I'm an NC20) and it doesn't make me greasy or highlight dry patches. For the price, I will definitley repurchase. Oh, and good sun protection!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I actually have this in Medium/Deep and I am about NC35 because its the summer, my natural skin level is about NC30. This looks really dark but I like how it blends in and gives me a little more of a tan. It really looks natural, doesnt break me out (I am very acne-prone).
Basically I use it on my days off of work or when Im not going out and am just looking for a bit of coverage with a tint of bronze.. Its the summertime and it doesnt really last too long, I would say about 3/4 hours before I start to see some fading..but its okay because it was pretty cheap.
I also use it as a base sometimes if I am going out at night or if I want a little more coverage. I would probably purchase again!
Forgot to add, it doesnt really have the normal texture of a BB cream...to me its more like a TM.
3 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Defiantly no where good as my lioele triple the solution bb cream. All these new drugstore bb creams are nothing like the real ones. It's okay but I won't repurchase
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
This was my first BB Cream ever. I mainly got it because I saw one of my favorite YouTube beauty guru's use it and I thought it was perfect for me. The only problem I have with it is that it a a tad but too dark for my skin tone, and they only have 3 shades. But I absolutley love it! It is amazing and it makes my face look natural and makes my skin look perfect! It is awesome and I am surely going to purchase it again!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
For me this product is more about what it doesn't do. It doesn't turn my face orange, make me break out, settle in wrinkles. Coverage is minimal, best for those days when you want sunscreen with a little tint.I use it as a primer for Colorstay whipped creme makeup. I also use it by itself. I'm fair but not pale and the light/medium shade was fine.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I love this product!!! It's good enough to even out my skin tone but still natural looking. Not to mention that it goes on evenly and makes my skin look brighter. It made my skin softer, and cleared most of my mild break outs. I would defiantly buy this again!
This is probably one of the best low end BB creams you can get. I wasn't expecting much from it but it really evened out my complexion and gave me a nice glow. As expected it was very light and easy to apply, no coverage to speak of but I wasn't hoping for any. If you're lucky enough to have clear skin, this with some concealer where needed is a really nice way to do the 'barely there' make up look. It's not very luxurious and isn't a miracle worker by any means but it's certainly a lot better than some of the rubbish BB creams out there and is good value for money. The only reason I wouldn't repurchase is because there are so many other BB creams/tinted moisturisers on my wish list to try, if i had to choose a cheap BB cream this would probably be it.

More reviews by Makeupobsessedthoughtful
I am in love with this BB cream! I have been wanting to try a blemish balm cream for a long time but I always put it off by telling myself I have a foundation. But I saw this at Walmart & Walgreens for 8$ so I purchased it at walmart in the light-medium shade and I have to say I LOVE it! The prouduct is AMAZING! It covers up and dosen't feel cakey! I slept in it (which I don't recommend you do)and it dident cause any clogged pores or anything! And it has SPF 30 which is icing on the cake! I'm sold and I definately will be buying this again! The one (&only) downside is that the packaging is a little bit thin. But other than that I recommend this product 100%
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
After only 3 days of wearing this, I broke out all over my face. I have tried many different products before, and this is the first time anything has caused me to break out. As well, it didn't really enhance my skin at all.
I have very oily skin so finding a tinted moisturizer/bb cream is near impossible for me. I saw this for $7.44 at Walmart and it said no oils or heavy ingredients so I thought why not give it a try. I love it! I do get shiny as the day goes on and need to blot, thus the 4 stars. But overall it is not greasy. I'll definitely purchase again.

Update: Chobani.com/care now leads you to a contact form with the instructions, "Love letter? Question or concern? Suggestion? We look forward to hearing from you!"
My wife and daughter love this new "Go Real" Greek-style yogurt from Chobani.
They have this cool design where you "flip" the flavorful goodies from one part of the container into the other holding the yogurt.
So, my wife was distressed the other morning when she pulled a newly-purchased yogurt from our refrigerator. Although it was listed as expiring on September 21, it looked like this, in the photo to the right.
But we just figured that the car might've gotten too warm while she and my daughter were coming back from shopping. I tossed it out and only thought briefly about calling the company — no easy-to-report website was listed on the container.
So, like a good dad and husband, I went back to our local Super Target to buy some more (ok, ok, and pick up my new contacts while researching another story) but couldn't find the two flavors my ladies liked best. The shelves were sold out, or so I thought, of everything but the Key Lime flavor.
Alas, Chobani has now announced a manufacturing problem at their Twin Falls, Idaho facility whereby a lot of products were contaminated with "a type of mold commonly found in the dairy environment," as detailed in their updating missive on Tuesday night. There, they recommend that customers go to their Customer Loyalty Team site at http://chobani.com/care.
Sorry, Charlie:
But, hey, they do offer us a 30-cent coupon.
So, we try the frontpage. Not a single note mentioning the product problem or recall anywhere as I scroll down.
The Facebook announcement Chobani made on August 31 directs the customer to the very same missive with the dead reporting link to their Customer Loyalty Team.
Perhaps more concerning is that Chobani did not inform the U.S. Food and Drug Administration about their stray microbe issue.
Mark Astley at DairyReporter.com wrote yesterday that Chobani contacted the industry news site to indicate that the mold problem was, "an issue of quality, not food safety." That's all very nice but I'd really like to know the genus and species of the offending organism and whether it produces mycotoxins of concern.
continue reading. . .
But Astley noted that the company stopped short of calling their action a recall but rather that they were acting "voluntarily and proactively" with consumers and retailers to "remove and replace" the affected yogurt.
When I tried to cut-and-paste for you DairyReport.com's passage of the Chobani statement listing the affected lots and dates, I was met with a copyright message that precludes me from giving you the passage with the important details.
But I can tell you that the affected lot is 16-012 and covers the range of expiration dates from 9/11/13 through 10/7/13.
Lookie what label we had in the Kroll household:
Last night, some news outlets began reporting that the FDA and USDA were probing the Chobani issue. Yet no such information can be found on the FDA's frontpage or recall page, or USDA's frontpage or news release page (as of today at 7:30 a.m. EDT).
Update: Chobani's press release on their voluntary product recall appeared on the FDA website later in the day.
So, we're left with a dysfunctional company, in denial that they're recalling a product, who only quietly announced their product issue on Facebook on August 31, and put up a small-print webpage with dead links to their reporting page. Moreover, our two agencies with regulatory authority have released nothing official on the matter.
Yes, yes, this could simply be a case of an innocuous mold like that found on bleu cheese (I didn't open ours to smell it) but some even such as Penicillium sp. could produce metabolites that can be seriously toxic to some individuals. A quick Google search for "dairy fungal contamination" pulls up both reassuring and alarming information, with this open-access chapter (PDF) to the Compendium of the Microbiological Spoilage of Foods and Beverages the most comprehensive.
The Chobani episode already looks like a case study for public relations failures — a really hot new product that rapidly gaining traction with an otherwise enthusiastic demographic, from a company founded by Hamdi Ulukaya, the entrepreneurial son of a Turkish cheesemaker and a Forbes 2013 Billionaire Notable Newcomer.
But I'm really disappointed in our food regulatory authorities for having no accessible information.
Surely we can do better.

Pair of chromed rings
Unlike previous reviews I am delighted with this bar. It was made very clear to me in the Belfast store that the bar was 28mm and designed to exclusively fit their own branded weights. This suits me fine. I'm a novice and want a quality set which I can build up over time for not too much money. I was attracted to the shorter length as I am female and find the longest Olympic style bars unwieldy at the minute. Be aware that this bar only weighs 10kg though.
As per other reviews,the exclusive non-standardised diameter they use is an issue. this is quite annoying - even for a novice, what happens if 'as a novice' you enjoy using the product and require more weight? You can only buy more domyos weights, fair enough if you only want to do bicep curls as your entire resistance regime(?!). I recently bought a bench and needed a new bar. The existing weight I have forces me to buy a domyos bar- I refuse on principal!
The chrome effect flaked off rapidl
