What kids around the world eat for breakfastOctober 9, 2014 - 4:54pm | Melvix
Children all over the world eat cornflakes and drink chocolate milk, of course, but in many places they also eat things that would strike the average American palate as strange, or worse.
Yet another fascinating photo essay about people around the word and what kind of stuff they have. In this case the people are kids and the stuff is what they're having for breakfast.

How Far Would You Go? Finishing a 50 Year Old Embroidery ProjectSeptember 29, 2014 - 3:34pm | Cristy
I have been working steadily to complete the unfinished stitching (UFOs or unfinished objects among stitchers) of my Mom and her mom. I completed the Welcome embroidery and it is framed and welcoming people into a loving home. I feel happy that this piece did not end up half stitched in the Savers or Goodwill. I see things like that in thrift stores and I do not buy them unless they are the coolest design I have ever seen. I do not feel compelled to save those pieces. I do feel compelled to finish the stitching started by the women in my family and shepherd that stitching into a good home.
How far would you go to finish a UFO?
There was a massive house cleaning and a high quality linen tablecloth about one quarter stitched came to light. My mom began it a lifetime ago. Began stitching a color scheme she was not wild about for someone, someone who is not around and is definitely not on the Christmas card list. Enough. It was nothing she was going to ever pick up again.
But, it was really nice linen which is virtually indestructible. It was not yellowed or stained. I liked the black, red and gray color scheme. So, I figured I would get busy and finish this piece of linen that had been stored and forgotten for at least 50 years.
And, lo and behold, there is one less UFO in the world!
Now, who wants a cool linen tablecloth in black, red and gray, 52" by 70"?

So You Want To Be a Farmer...September 25, 2014 - 9:39am | Melvix
Many small farms take in apprentices or interns (a largely semantic distinction) for a growing season. According to Thistlethwaite, this is an all but mandatory step in your farm journey. And not just for one season. She suggests apprenticing for three to four years before you even consider starting your own farm. This will not only provide a basic knowledge base, but also ensure that farming is something you enjoy. "[Apprenticing] is gut check time," she says. "It gives you the chance to ask yourself: 'Is this really who I am?'"
The author apprentices on a farm for a season and learns that farming is hard work and risky.
I am already certain I don't want to be a farmer. An apprenticeship sounds kind of fun, though.

You should watch this.
From IMDb:
A look at what happened after Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (2006) was filmed in the Romanian village of Glod. It follows the life of one girl who longs to escape the poverty as foreign lawyers arrive with the promise of suing 20th Century Fox for millions of dollars.
You don't need to see Borat to appreciate this.

Do you want to know your partner's violent past?
Some women are their own worst enemies - witness those who become pen friends and then marry convicted murderers on death row.
A lot of men who are guilty of domestic violence are not known to the police. Some who have a criminal record have one because of a very minor incident that they admitted to. Some who are guilty of serious domestic violence have no police record because they deny it and the victim refuses to proceed.
We do not live in a perfect world. Domestic violence charities are against Clare's Law as reported in The Independent . Clare's father states that it can't do any harm. It can do harm if people rely on it inappropriately. One of my friends employed a plumber who was arrested at her house. She rang the police and asked if she should be worried and should she allow him back in her home. They said she had nothing to worry about. He was a serial conman, identity thief, and charged with domestic violence and breaking and entering. He was wanted by 3 separate police forces and he was bailed and went on to steal substantial sums from her and 2 of her friends. As far as I know he is still on the run. In my experience the police make mistakes so obtaining a reassurance from them is no guarantee of safety.
Anyone who becomes involved with a complete stranger is taking a risk. We met a London Cab driver at the weekend who regaled us with his failed on line dating experiences. Women who lied about their age, posted the wrong photo etc. He drove from London to Stratford upon Avon for a date with someone who claimed to be 42 but had just had a hip replacement and looked 62. More fool him you might say but what risks are these women taking with their safety?

Southern Gardening: Bring spring to your yard
As springtime arrives across Mississippi, azaleas are starting to put on their colorful show. While these walls of pink and clusters of red and spots of white are well-known and anticipated, a spring-blooming shrub that does not get as much attention is the Indian hawthorn.
Indian hawthorn is one of those hard-working shrubs that anchor many foundation plantings around our homes and landscapes. This shrub is one of the tough plants that will tolerate a wide variety of landscape conditions. It is used as a mainstay in many commercial landscapes and other low-maintenance locations.

Tony Cox's Top Ten Writing Tips
So we're at the end of the first A Play, A Pie and A Pint week. Love With a Capital L has gone down really well.
This week, to celebrate the new writing of A Play, A Pie and A Pint, we've shared writer Tony Cox's top ten tips for would-be writers:
(1) Be arrogant - a balanced view of your talents leads only to the hiss of dead ambition.
(2) The actual doing matters more than the outcome.
(3) Don't enter other peoples's lives - let them enter yours.
(4) If you haven't got an intelligent idea, writing a stupid one down is not going to help.
(5) The audience is fickle - grab them by the throat and never let go.
(6) Hide your plot points.
(7) Give yourself a generous cushion of time between writing your 'final' draft and and reading it - your final draft won't be your last.
(8) Earn the emotional right to an ending.
(9) The only review you will want to hear begins 'Arise, O Sun King!'. Since you will never get one of these, don't read reviews.
(10) Never give up
Next week, we've A Perfect Stroke by Johnny McKnight from Tuesday 8 - Saturday 12 April.

Though his client portfolio reaches around the world, Pranich's most personal project—his own condominium in the urban waterside village Aqua—lies right here on Miami Beach's private Allison Island. With a traditionally designed house in Palm Beach, a modern loft in New York, and a Paris apartment filled with contemporary art, French antiques and transitional furnishings, Pranich kept the design of his Miami skyloft clean and simple. To respect the locale's young, hip ambiance, he filled the condo with 1950s-inspired furniture and a palette of white, chocolate brown and chrome. "The architecture of a building and its location dictate what I do," he says. "If a building is contemporary, it's not right to use a traditional design. Everything has to work together; you can't force it. Aqua has a New Age design, so I tried to do something different from the norm." Pranich's first task was to convert the existing kitchen into a den and form a new kitchen that would open onto the living room, creating one 1 5 4 ? L U X Elarge great room conducive to entertaining. Because of the new open floor plan, he wanted each space to flow into the next. White limestone flooring connects the areas and offers a blank canvas for minimalist white furnishings with cool chrome accents, and juxtaposing splashes of chocolate brown and ebonized wood to warm the palette. Black-and-white photographs by Iran Issa-Khan speak to Pranich's love of art, and cable lighting completes the chic loft look that recalls his New York pad. "The furniture is neutral so that nothing fights the view," he says. "In a loft, you can't use heavy furniture; everything has to blend together. The design is modern, but not trendy—it's classic and long-lasting." Each room is visible from the terrace, which Pranich describes as "an outdoor garden in the sky." Redesigning for entertaining, presented a challenge for the designer. "The beauty of this apartment is that it has 2,400 square feet of balcony, which I converted to an outdoor garden. So you have the look and feel of a New York loft with a great view; but it's also like living in a house because you open the door and see a beautiful garden," says Pranich, who regards this space for social gatherings with utmost importance. "I entertain a lot, and you can really live outside." A careful observer who examines everything in sight, Pranich adapts his vision based on each project's style and situation when designing for homeowners. For this project in particular, Aqua's modernist community and Miami's city skyline proved to be the perfect setting for the designer's most personal client: himself. Tweet COMMENTS (0) Thanks!

But most importantly I got to spend the evening with Andrew Probert who is responsible for the design of the Back to the Future Time Machine, the original Battlestar Galactica concept art and Cylons, and finally the concepts for Star Trek the motion picture and Star Trek Next Generation. He was so kind and looked through my Industrial Design portfolio and spoke to me all evening about his life and experiences and gave me some career pointers. An experience I'll remember for a long time.
Just organized my senior capstone project and placed it into my portfolio!
Check out: www.mirandathedesigner.com/flux-motorbike for the project and a complete 70+ page process book!
It was both the longest and shortest semester I can remember but it's finally over. My project won the Director's Choice Award and will be displayed in the gallery in DAAP for the summer! Here are some pictures for those of you interested in seeing it.
The pictures of me presenting was during my critique with Chrysler, which was a rush… But an awesome experience. I also presented to GM today.
Thank you to everyone who came to see it, including my middle school art teacher :) which was just really cool for me. And thanks to Brandon for helping me sand and paint for weeks, soldering LEDs for the headlight and taillight, and letting me trash his home making my model.
All finished! Everything is printed, painted, and pinned and now to present!
Critique tomorrow morning with the Chrysler Design team!
Sneak peek! Come see the final model and project at DAAPworks Tues 5-9pm!!
Model making is almost complete! Brandon even helped me wire the lighting for the head and tail light!

Northeastern New Mexico Travel Guide
Plan Your Northeastern New Mexico Vacation
You'll battle neither crowds nor hype in northeastern New Mexico, one of the most underrated sections of the state, and an area well worth exploring. You can have a wildflower-strewn trail through alpine meadows and forests of aspen and ponderosa pine all to yourself, or step back in time in small towns that treasure their pasts. The sheer variety of terrain and climate, and the region's storied role in the history of westward expansion, make this a worthwhile short side trip from Santa Fe or Taos, or a memorable way to enter New Mexico from either Colorado or the Plains states. Just beware the sparse population and relative lack of services and luxury trappings—this is a land of simple, authentic pleasures.
Northeastern New Mexico Hotels
Given the relatively modest numbers of visitors who spend more than a day in this area, lodging options are a bit limited... read more

Filling upPosted: May 30, 2014 Filed under: Books, Me 1 Comment
Ahhhh… you know what I missed being able to do while I was working on the sequel? READ. Ye gods. I felt guilty any time I did, and even when I had time and leisure it was hard to really dig into anything. I just didn't have the energy and mental resources to spare, so what I read slid off me, water off a duck's back (the exception being non-fiction, which I would read because it was relevant).
Now I am afflicted with Cookie Monster Brain. I don't merely want books, I want to eat them noisily and get crumbs all over everything. I want to take them apart and put them together in odd configurations, little Frankenbooks staggering about under their own power. I want to smash them together like stones and make tools, or music, or fire!
So I read V. – as I mentioned – but in the last couple weeks I have also read Throne of the Crescent Moon by Saladin Ahmed (enjoyed the heck out of that), Raiders of the Nile by Stephen Saylor (I don't like these young Gordianus prequel books as much as other books in the series; somehow Saylor has simplified the voice to reflect that he's younger, but he's also less interesting that way), and The Ocean at the End of the Lane by Neil Gaiman (which I have decided perfectly encapsulates where Gaiman and I diverge, mythologically; I want to write a paper on this, or dissect it with a scalpel). I also have two manuscripts from friends to read, one of which is done, the other of which I need to start before my commentary becomes irrelevant. And then I just started The God Engines by John Scalzi, but I'm not far enough in to say much.
I know that doesn't sound like very many books, but I am a SLOW READER, and for me it is a lot. Especially when you consider that for the last week I've been waking up at 5am thinking about literary criticism. Part of that is that it's getting light very early now, but it's also my brain going, "Hey. HEY! Remember that thing you read yesterday? Guess what guess what! I had some ideas about it." And then off we go. My brain has to explain everything it thought while I was lazily sleeping, and then cross-reference all the other thoughts I've been having about anything and everything.
It is simultaneously annoying and glorious. I suspect my voraciousness right now is a symptom of just how gravely the well of my mind had run dry.
In other news, here's my favourite song from choir this quarter, although this is not the arrangement we're singing. It's Owain Phyfe, though, so I couldn't resist. I like his voice a lot.
Symbolism and the subconsciousPosted: May 7, 2014 Filed under: Books 3 Comments
I read this article at Paris Review about a high school student in 1963 who surveyed famous writers about their use of symbolism. The impetus seems to have been an argument with his English teacher about whether writers put symbols into their work intentionally. The answers the writers give are varied and fascinating, and I think I want this quote from Ray Bradbury tattooed on my bicep:
I trust my subconscious implicitly. It is my good pet. I try to keep it well fed with information through all my senses, but never look directly at it. If I did, it would refuse to do its creative tricks for me. So I pretend to look off at the horizon and the next thing I know my subconscious is giving me stories, actions, and.. ..by God, now. .symbols!
(Those are Bradbury's eccentric ellipses! I'm just copying stuff down, here.)
That article led me to "Settling the Colonel's Hash" by Mary McCarthy, which was also fascinating. It's under copyright, and I don't feel comfortable linking to pirated versions here, but here's a discussion of it I found at Of Books and Bicycles.
That post doesn't talk about the most fascinating part of the essay (to my mind) which was the way we make symbols of ourselves in real-life interactions.
The chief moral or meaning (what I learned, in other words from this experience) was that you cannot be a universal unless you accept the fact that you are a singular, that is, a Jew or an artist or whathave-you. What the colonel and I were discussing, and at the same time illustrating and enacting, was the definition of a human being; I was trying to be something better than a human being; I was trying to be the voice of pure reason; and pride went before a fall. The colonel, without trying, was being something worse than a human being, and somehow we found ourselves on the same plane -facing each other, like mutually repellent twins. Or, put in another way: it is dangerous to be drawn into discussions of the Jews with anti-Semites: you delude yourself that you are spreading light, but you are really sinking into muck; if you endeavor to be dispassionate, you are really claiming for yourself a privileged position, a little mountain top, from which you look down, impartially, on both the Jews and the colonel.
She goes on to talk about how she understood none of this in the moment, how it is only afterwards that we are able to really understand the full extent of what was going on with ourselves during an experience — and it's the same with a story. You don't sit down to write something you understand already; there's no point. The process of writing is one of discovery, much like the process of living.
And now I must deal with the dishwasher repairman, who is at this moment emblematic of all the household tasks I let slide while I was working on the sequel…
Charm and StrangePosted: January 20, 2014 Filed under: Books, Writing process 2 Comments
Hello darlings! It is time once again for our ongoing series of Morris nominee interviews, and today is my lucky day, because it's finally my turn to introduce you all to Stephanie Kuehn (pronounced "Keen").
Kuehn's debut novel is Charm and Strange. Here's the summary from Goodreads:
No one really knows who Andrew Winston Winters is. Least of all himself. He is part Win, a lonely teenager exiled to a remote boarding school in the wake of a family tragedy. The guy who shuts the whole world out, no matter the cost, because his darkest fear is of himself …of the wolfish predator within. But he's also part Drew, the angry boy with violent impulses that control him. The boy who, one fateful summer, was part of something so terrible it came close to destroying him. A deftly woven, elegant, unnerving psychological thriller about a boy at war with himself. Charm and Strange is a masterful exploration of one of the greatest taboos.
Intrigued? It's a devilishly hard book to blurb, I think, because so much hinges on the revelation of a terrible secret. I had to prance around lightly in my own review, so as not to spoil it:
1) I stayed up til 2 to finish it, which just doesn't happen to me.
2) I bawled like a baby, which is also pretty rare.
I don't want to spoil it. Part of the experience is that you're unfolding the truth at the same time Win is (well, a little faster probably, because you're able to admit possibilities he can't). It's a gut-wrenching exploration of dissociation, sanity, and the purpose of metaphor. Win looks crazy to the people around him, but the story is told in such a humane and sympathetic way that you realize he's this way for a reason, that it's the way he preserved his sanity and survived.
Well-written and devastating. Possible trigger warning, if you're expecting a paranormal. NOT paranormal, in the usual sense of the word.
I have also written a spoiler-ful review over at Someday My Printz Will Come. Don't look at that unless you've read the book, because this is one that really deserves not to be spoiled. The book is a harrowing read, but hopeful and life-affirming in the end.
All righty then! On to what you really came for, Ms. Stephanie Kuehn in her own words:
1) Charm & Strange is a difficult book to discuss without spoiling, in large part because the book is about recovering memories and integrating the past and present. The reader learns the truth along with Win, and it would be a shame to pre-empt that. What is your go-to, spoiler-free description when someone wants a quick summary?
It's the story of a boy who believes that he is a monster. And it's about understanding why.
2) I loved the book, but it deals with some very difficult, painful, and upsetting topics. In my review on GoodReads, I almost felt I should give some kind of trigger warning, but that's hard to do without spoiling. How have readers reacted to this book?
Thank you! I don't totally know how people have reacted to the book. I get the feeling it's something people either really, really connect with or they hate. Or they liked aspects of it but wish they hadn't read it? I can understand all of those viewpoints, I suppose. It is an upsetting story and a very sad one.
More than anything, I've enjoyed hearing from readers, and I so appreciate everyone who has reached out to me and shared their own stories. Knowing that people have found the book meaningful is a special thing. It's everything, really.
3) You study clinical psychology, which would seem to have a clear connection to this story. What are the roots of this novel, and how did it grow?
Yes, I think it's obviously a very psychologically driven story, or at least told as one. I know that when I was writing it I was exploring some of my own ideas about how—from science to myth—we develop a sense of ourselves, and under what circumstances change can occur.
I think I was also affected at the time by how quickly angry young children (especially boys) are labeled as "bad" and what this does to their self-perception. The anger of others can be hard to contain. It's an emotion that's easier to push away or minimize than it is to accept. But as adults, I believe it is up to us to hold the anger of children and not ask them to keep it inside. It is up to us to try and understand why they're hurting.
4) I'm also interested – maybe even more interested, because it's less obvious – in whether your background in linguistics also plays into the story. There's a moment where Win talks about Wittgenstein – and then a quote from Wittgenstein near the end – that make me suspect a preoccupation with language itself, how we make ourselves understood and how to find the words for the most terrible of experiences. Was it hard to find the right words for Win? What were the challenges in fostering reader empathy, as opposed to pity or revulsion?
On a philosophical level, I've always been drawn to Wittgenstein's private language argument, the notion that a language known to only one person really isn't a language at all. In the words of Saul Kripke (from On Rules and Private Language): "the sceptical solution does not allow us to speak of a single individual, considered by himself and in isolation, as ever meaning anything." When I was writing the book, that abstraction of a private language felt like the perfect metaphor to represent someone who has endured unspeakable trauma and has been made to feel as if no one else experiences the world the way that he does. If there are no words to communicate one's reality, what is there? If you can't connect with others, what are you?
The beginning of Charm & Strange finds Win trying his best not to communicate with others at all. This is because he fears hurting and he fears being hurt. In this way his suffering has dehumanized him. It's an awful thing, his loneliness, and much of Win's journey is about accepting that a positive connection to humanity is part of what makes him human. Ultimately, it's the friendship and empathy of others that become his catalysts for change. These are two of the strongest forces I know.
On fostering empathy: I believe empathy comes from understanding what it feels like to be in someone else's shoes, and I tried to write the story closely from Win's point of view so that the world is experienced as he perceives it. In that way, I hoped readers would connect with how his struggles come from a place of strength and resilience, not weakness.
On finding the right words for Win: It wasn't hard to find his words. Win speaks through his own lens, but he tells his truth openly. "I feel dark," he says. "I feel used."
5) You touched on a particular preoccupation of mine, which is metaphor. Win has created an entire mental schema with which to understand what has happened to him, but to me, approaching from outside, it looks like a metaphor. One of the reasons I write fantasy is because it enables me to couch real struggles in metaphorical terms, to examine problems one step removed from their painful immediacy. Some summaries of Charm & Strange make it sound like it's going to be a paranormal story, which it very much is not. What is your take on the role of metaphor in fiction and in life? How can art help heal our traumas?
That's really interesting to think about. It's true that the use of fantasy in Charm & Strange represents a form of dissociation and coping for the narrator. It's also true that I chose the mental schema I did so that I could play with genre in a certain way, both as a metaphor for painful truths, and as a way of keeping the reader in Win's mind. And it is fascinating to consider how we, as a culture, use metaphor to distance and deconstruct complex realities, not just in literature, but in all forms of storytelling. As actual psychological processes, however, I do think there are big differences between what is an individual's trauma reaction versus a voluntary artistic choice or social allegory.
Culturally, we use fantasy and metaphor in other ways, too: For many people, Santa Claus is a symbol of faith and childhood innocence. In the book, letting go of that particular innocence is a milestone of growing up that Drew marks. Later in his life, Win's letting go of the magic he needed to endure his childhood becomes a different sort of innocence lost. It marks the integration of his past and his present, as well as his stepping out onto his path toward healing—the magic he gives up is his belief in his own badness.
6) How long did it take to write this book, and what was it like to live with these characters and this particular story? Was it ever overwhelming? What kind of coping strategies did you have to develop?
The book was published almost exactly two years after I sat down to write the first sentence (which has never changed), so in the grand scheme of things, it didn't take very long. And yes, on an emotional level, it was hard to work on this story. There's pain that comes from being attached to characters whose hurt you can't fix. That's probably a metaphor, too.
I was also going to say that the process of writing the book made me sad, but I actually think I was in a dark place when I started it. Sometimes writing is a way of coping.
Lightning round!
a) Morning or night?
b) Cats or dogs?
Both! I love all animals. Sadly, we lost our old doggy this past fall, but we have a young dog and two sweet cats.
c) Sherlock or Watson?
d) Weirdest thing you ever ate on purpose:
Ohhh. I'm sure I've eaten some things other people would consider weird, but I don't tend to eat things I think of as weird on purpose. Maybe a peanut butter and cheddar cheese sandwich? Those are really good, I swear!
Thank you so much for having me on your blog, Rachel! I really appreciate it.
Thank you, my dear. I loved the book. It made me think, which is what I look for most in literature.
Sex and ViolencePosted: January 16, 2014 Filed under: Books, News Leave a comment
Today's fabulous Morris nominee interview is up! John Corey Whaley talks to Carrie Mesrobian about her first novel, Sex and Violence.
And be sure to tune in Monday, when Stephanie Kuehn graciously answers my impertinent questions about Charm and Strange.
In other news: did I mention I'm on deadline? I reckon I did. Sorry to be so absent, but it's eaten my entire brain. I will just say, it continues to go well, although I'm getting a bit tired. This has been quite the sustained effort, for me. I throw it back at Jim in just over two weeks, and then I'm FREE — until the next go-round. And there will be one, because that's the way we work.
But hey, it's getting better all the time. Let that encourage you.
Yesterday, tomorrow, and soonPosted: January 8, 2014 Filed under: Books, News Leave a comment
Nafiza at The Book Wars posted an interview with me yesterday (thanks again, Nafiza, for the wonderful opportunity!). I get a bit chatty there, partly because I'm in a good mood, and partly because she was asking questions from slightly different angles than I'm used to. That's good for waking up the brain!
Coming soon: I'm going to be the one asking questions, which is a first for me! Yes, it's time once again for the YALSA Morris Awards, and for that annual tradition – begun by inaugural Morris winner Elizabeth C. Bunce – of Morris winners interviewing this year's nominees. Here's the schedule of events. I will link to the interviews individually as they happen. The first one's tomorrow, Blythe Woolston interviewing Evan Roskos.
I have the great honour of interviewing Stephanie Kuehn (pronounced "Keen"), author of Charm and Strange, on the 20th. I'll review the book a day or two beforehand, but let me just say right now: it's a difficult book on an upsetting subject, and very much worth reading. Highly recommended.
Plumbing and/or Scaling the Entire Range of Human Experience Before BreakfastPosted: December 4, 2013 Filed under: Books, Me 9 Comments
[The following contains hyperbolic silliness and should not be taken literally. I do not consider children or children's literature unworthy. I write it because I love it and believe in it. Also: don't mistake my tone for anger. This is me laughing merrily. I feel a bit silly explaining myself in such detail, but this is the internet. Tone is hard to hear on the internet.]
Ah, my darlings, the winter bear has been prodded from her slumber.
First there was an article about how Kent University was 'penitent' for belittling children's literature. "Huh," I said to myself. "Is that Kent University in Canterbury? I played cello at a Messiah workshop there, long ago."
Indeed it was, or one of their campuses, anyway. Close enough. Satisfied, I went back to sleep.
But then we get this follow-up article today: Children's Fiction is not Great Literature.
I have to admit, I scoffed at first. However, I have come away transformed. I am a convert. Permit me to explain.
"Great adult literature aims to confront the full range of genuine human experience," quoth the article. Of course it does! Except for children's experience, which isn't genuine experience after all. It's barely what we'd call human. As some fellow on The Simpsons once said, "You kids don't know what you want! That's why you're still kids! Because you're stupid!"
It's not like serious adult literature has never explored the experiences of childhood. I always thought James Joyce's description of wetting the bed in A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man was particularly sublime. Nobody understands bed-wetting like an adult, though, and this is the entire point! Children do things without understanding the nuances! They only discern black, white, good, evil, and bright cartoonish things. When Joyce wets the bed, it has gravitas. Pathos. Introspection. Of course, James Joyce was far too Great to spend an entire book wetting the bed. He grew up, as any sensible person ought, and moved on to genuine human experiences like sexual urges, fear of hellfire, and spiritual epiphany. None of which children have the faintest notion of. Don't tell me they do. I can't hear you, lalala.
Now, does this mean that any individual work Great Literature must encompass the entirely of human experience? Of course not. That would be silly. Nobody has time for that. No, no, Great Literature merely has to be capable of containing anything. As the article explains: "a novel written for children omits certain adult-world elements which you would expect to find in a novel aimed squarely at grown-up readers." So you see, virtue lies in not omitting – in omitting to omit, if you will – those elements of the adult world which would disturb, confuse, or just plain bore a child to tears. All the really genuine stuff, in other words.
Greatness in literature is like the load-bearing capacity of a bridge: nobody's really going to drive a ten-billion-ton truck over your bridge, but it has to be strong enough, just in case. Because seriously, you never know. Somebody might have a truck that's beyond your feeble imagination. We must allow for the full range of possible trucks, even the ones that don't exist.
Children's books, on the other hand, are like little wobbly rope bridges, capable of carrying only the wee-est, twee-est widdle emotions, only the fluffiest kittens of experience. Is there anything more futile and ridiculous than a fluffy kitten of experience? Surely the universe could get on quite well without fluffy kittens at all. No one would miss them. Stop blubbing, you.
It is therefore self-evident that the more Human Complexity a work is capable of containing, the Greater it can be. This is why (self-evidently) more greatness may be found in epic poetry than in sonnets. There's only so much complexity you can cram into a sonnet, especially if you're being strict with the rhyme scheme (I prefer English, myself). And don't even get me started on haiku. How much Genuine Human Experience can 17 syllables possibly hold? I've had complex adult emotions with more syllables than that. I had one just now. It was self-congratulatory-dyspeptic-smugtasticrabby-glibberishness. Haiku that, darlings.
In sum: it's not enough to write children's emotions or experiences well because they are inherently unworthy of literary consideration. A Great book potentially contains anything (except silly kid stuff). The problem with Harry Potter (which I think we all agree exemplifies the entirety of children's literature) is not that there isn't anything Complex and Genuine in such books, but that there can't be, by definition. QED, thank you, and goodnight.
Review: Liar and Spy, by Rebecca SteadPosted: October 11, 2013 Filed under: Books 2 Comments
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
I have many librarian friends who raved endlessly about When You Reach Me, and then found Liar and Spy kind of a let-down afterwards. It was with this in mind that I decided I should read Liar and Spy first, to give it a chance NOT to disappoint me.
Boy, was I ever NOT disappointed.
In fact, I love this book with all my (admittedly shrivelled) heart. If When You Reach Me really is that much better… well, maybe I shouldn't read it. Maybe it would make me give up writing in despair.
A little caveat first: this book is very quiet and small. Very quiet. Very small. If you're not into quiet books, you can say to yourself, "Well, at least it's small!" You can read it in an afternoon, even if you are an abysmally slow reader like myself.
Here's where it's awesome: theme. Everything fits and interweaves and interplays so beautifully. It's like a Bach fugue — a really quiet one. Not that the pipe organ lends itself to quiet. Even the simple fact that Georges's name has a silent "s" at the end resonates with the theme. It's about the known and the unknown, the things we can and can't, do and don't perceive. The lies we tell and the things we refuse to see. Even the title plays into that.
My god it's like a beautiful painting, and I could stare at it for hours. I am gnawing my own wrist with envy, which I realize is maybe not the cleverest thing I ever did.
Read it. Love it. I might not ever get around to When You Reach Me. I might not be able to handle it. We shall see.

That's a projected 9 percent rise since 2007-08 funds.
"This budget officially begins the state's reinvestment in higher education and the California State University," Chancellor Timothy White said in a statement. "This wise choice by the governor and Legislature will further aid California's economic recovery."
Representatives of Chico State University also feel that the increase in funding is an investment.
"We feel that the proposed increases in funding for the CSU and CSU, Chico for 2013-14 and subsequent years are a critical investment in the future of California," said Arno Rethans, senior vice provost for academic affairs at the university. "California is lagging behind other states in college attendance and graduation."
The proposed increase in support will allow the university to better address the record demand for high-quality education to meet state workforce needs, he said.
"If a sustained period of re-investment does occur, we will be able to prepare our students not only to become gainful members of the workforce of our community and the state in the 21st century, but also to take on the challenges and obligations of citizenship in our democracy," Rethans said.
With the increase in mind, extra funds will be strategically allocated at Chico State.
The extra funds will benefit Chico State University in launching its "Aim for Four" campaign, he said.
The university will use funds to cover enrollment growth, to address "bottleneck courses," and to invest in student success through improved advising and support system, Rethans said.
"Investments in student success will further our efforts to reduce time to degree and improve graduation rates for all our students," he said. "Improving student success is our bottom line."

Wheelchair Accessable in Charleston SC
- Sam at Novas Oct 17, 2009 07:24 AM
We are headed to Charleston for a few days of food and relaxation. We have spent many days there in the past and are always looking for good places to eat in the old part of town. We are staying at the Days Inn on Meeting St and like to take in the sights on foot or in my wife's case wheels as she uses a power wheelchair. We have in the past called restaurants in advance to confirm accessibility and had to pass on some good eats due to the lack thereof. One of the first we called said "sure come on, it's only two steps up". We went and it took three burly guys to lift wife and chair up 5-6 steps up to the hostess stand and then 4-5 steps down to the dining room. We found later that the back door was just two steps down and easy enough to get us out. That was a few years ago and I am not as strong as I was to heft lady and chair like I once did.
So to the point...Are there exceptional places or places that serve good "homecooking" that are more accessible than others? So many of the great restaurants in the old parts of old city's have been around for a long time, with steps, perhaps not but one, but along with a narrow doorway, passage is impossible. Small spaces with limited seating can also be difficult. Hominy Grill is one that we enjoyed on our last trip, so I know that it can be done.
We are going for Charleston's local flair, so the usual places are all on our list, but the search is for truly local fair that we can get to.
If you want truly local, drive through Mt Pleasant on Hwy 17 and go to Seewee Restaurant. It's chair accessible and has excellent home-cooked food. The link is not working right now for some reason. I also recommend Boulevard Diner in Mt Pleasant on Coleman Blvd,http://www.dinewithsal.com/
as well as Locklear's. http://www.locklears.com/mountpleasan...
All of these are often the Charleston beaten path, and full of local people. Have fun.
Well, if you are looking for homecooking and downtown then I think Hominy is one of the better choices, there is also Jestine's which is on Meeting down the street from your hotel. Are you looking for only homecooking? I can think of a few other restaurants in the area that would certainly suit your wife's needs.
just went to Hominy grill last week. parking is right next to the building, easy to get into, no steps. roll right up to the table. GREAT food, service and low prices.
According to Google Charleston Place, High Cotton, Oak Steakhouse and Cypress all have accessibility. I'm going downtown later today. I'll try to spot other options.
If memory serves, both Hanks and Fig have zero steps...but of course you should check first in case I'm wrong.
There are a few other restaurants I can think of, and I would recommend. Danna is right, neither Hank's nor FIG have steps, and I would recommend both of them. Hank's is seafood and FIG focuses on fresh and local. I would also recommend SNOB's on East Bay St, lowcountry food with a twist. Joseph's is great for breakfast and lunch, and if it's not next door to your hotel then it's just down the block. Fish on upper King St has remodeled, I haven't been there since they reopened. I would definitely recommend this place, but I would definitely call to confirm. All of the restaurants I recommended take reservations except for Joseph's, and please let me know if you have any questions on any specific restaurants. I'm happy to help.
re: lizzy
I was down there yesterday . SNOB has no steps but it looks like there's decorative stuff all around the door. I'd call-I bet they'd be happy to move it out of the way for you. FIG looked like it could easily accomodate the chair. 82 Queen has no steps to the first level, and you could eat on the patio if weather permits. It's my favorite for she-crab. High Cotton is my favorite for shrimp and grits. HC says it's accessible, but they have steps up inside the front door. They must have an alternate entrance, so call them to find out where you need to pull up.
re: Sue in Mt P
Thanks lizzy,Thanks Sue, We are here now. Had a light supper at Toast last night. Nothing to write home about. I have had better she crab soup, but with a dinner salad it hit the spot.
Just made a reservation at FIG and told Heather that my wife uses a wheelchair...she said "no problem"! We are looking forward to this as one of our favs in Charlotte now is The Common House. Emily the chef there was once a chef at FIG and I love her meatloaf.
We ate at Hanks a year ago and again it was absolutely accommodating and delicious.
FYI, we ate at 82 Queen several years ago. There are one or two steps in the front door, but around the left side is a "people" alley that took us right to the wonderful courtyard dining area. I recall that they came around to unlock the gate to get us in. Way Cool!
Having a wonderful time,wish you were here.
re: Sam at Novas
Oh I AM here! What a beautiful day today! You were having fun. I got a flu shot. Enjoy FIG. It is consistently great.
re: Sam at Novas
Yep I'm here too.....Enjoy yourselves, and I am looking forward to your thoughts. Have a good time at FIG, and if you still have room the rice pudding is wonderful.
re: lizzy
Thank You all, we had a great time! FIG was truly delicious...we had steak? I know,we are in Charleston, but the wording on the menu could not be resisted so we ordered it and though I cannot describe with any accuracy the seasoning and flavor...it was fantastic. Too full for rice pudding, darnit.
The next day we had breakfast at Joseph's. Good Eggs Benedict, but everyone seems to overcook eggs these days.
We decided to be adventurous and went to Pearlz for dinner. One good size step up for the wheelchair that I can lift up one step, but not for a chair that does not have handles and some lifting capability. We were there just in time for Happy Hour that included oysters on the half shell for about fifty cents a piece. 2 dozen oyster later we ordered dinner. The oysters were pretty fat, based on my infrequent indulgences, with a good flavor. Big bottles of Tabasco Sauce are all you need, though their cocktail sauce with horseradish was very tasty.
Dinner was very impressive for a "bar" atmosphere. The Crab Louis that my SO got was very lovely to look at and then she ate it all. We will go back again.

About Us
The idea for Attaché Arrivals was borne out of a trip I took to 27 countries in 2013. From Bangkok and Colombo to London and New York, I found myself running the same errands over and over, often on little sleep and a lot of jetlag.
Landing in a new country only to find yourself running errands in the airport or getting ripped off by people a little too eager to help you didn't really appeal to me, so I looked into how to streamline an arrival so that people could walk off the plane, get connected, and know exactly where they needed to go and how to get there.
From there, I've been putting together arrival kits, with exactly those things I kept searching for, sent to your house before you leave. I hope to make your first experience in a new country as seamless as it is to arrive in your home airport.
If you like what you see, or have any recommendations for improvement, send me an email at email@example.com
We're also really interested in putting together custom packages for groups, particularly for study abroad and conference attendees. If you are a coordinator, feel free to reach out and we'll talk about how we can customize an arrival specifically for your group!

I have noticed a lot of women are having or being offered the blood test to test for downs when they are such a low risk of having a child with issues. I am almost 40 ,pregnant and have a higher risk of having a child with downs or other genetic issues so I elected to have the test. If a woman decides to have the test I have no problem with it but it seems unnecessary if you are low risk. Just the wait alone to hear the results is stressful. When I had my older kids in the 90's I wasn't offered this test. When did it change to offer it to most pregnant women ? I will have to ask my OB at my next visit but I was wondering if anyone had an answer. Again I have no problem with anyone who wants the test but don't understand why it is offered for low risk women.
It's because the initial testing (the triple screen) is a simple blood test. If it were more invasive, like an amnio or CVS, it wouldn't be done as frequently. I refuse the testing altogether. I don't need another reason to worry.
im 26 and they try to give it to me everytime i have a baby! i think i only took it with one of them before i knew what it was!! its become a standard blood test here i think
It's important
And some women would chose to abort if their child had DS or related disorders
I think it's offered to every pregnant women now. The first is just a blood test. I refused it though with both my kids.
Because being prepared is important if something is wrong, and if it's as simple and low risk as a blood draw, all the better. Also, more and more "low risk" people are having babies with problems.
I guess to be prepared if there was something wrong? Or some women would elect for an abortion if something is wrong with the baby? Only thing I can think of.

Quoting Karen Serratt:" I have noticed a lot of women are having or being offered the blood test to test for downs when they ... [snip!] ... an answer. Again I have no problem with anyone who wants the test but don't understand why it is offered for low risk women."

Times are different, and technology has evolved. It is a less invasive test so they can offer genetic testing to anyone. They are looking for markers. They also look for DS markers in U/S via the neck to see if it is thicker than normal.
Yes, nearly 40years old puts you at a higher risk of a child with Down's syndrome. You understand why that is right? However, younger couples can have a child with DS based on genetics.
I think the dr has to offer it to his patient.
I was 17 when pregnant with my daughter and 21 now. I have opted for it both times because it would make a difference to me and I would terminate. I think it's a personal choice whether someone wants to be screened
The triple screen is just a screening test. They give it to all women because it makes more sense to screen women with a simple blood test than to give every pregnant woman a level 2 ultrasound, amniocentesis, or a CVS. Only the women who test positive are sent for more testing.
With both my children iopted out of that test bc either way it didn't matter to me, it was my baby and i would love them no matter what
Because they're already drawing your blood anyway, so why not test for downs?
Quoting Not tellin:"
Quoting Karen Serratt:" I have noticed a lot of women are having ... [snip!] ... with Down's syndrome. You understand why that is right? However, younger couples can have a child with DS based on genetics."
It's also important to note that while women over 40 have a higher risk, most children with DS are born to women under 40.
ETA: It also isn't JUST testing for DS, it's testing for neural tube defects and other chromosomal abnormalities such as Trisomy 18.
I was offered the test but declined due to my OB showing me statistics of someone my age having a child with DS. I do know a certain person who wants to milk her fathers money and since as far as I know health insurance doesn't cover it, she and her mother used his money to do all the elective tests. She also was looking to get a bunch of ultrasounds. But she's an example of someone who likes to play the system, but in a lot more ways than that.
They offer it to all pregnant women. You don't have to accept though. I denied both times.

Fluval E Series Heaters
Installation and Operation
The attachment of the mounting bracket could be clearer in the instructions. The square body can limit installation locations. Temperature setting is more difficult than typical heaters.
Performance vs. Expectations
So far it performs well and the temperature setting is accurate. The temperature adjustment isn't as simple as a typical heater with a dial, but once you know how, the back lit digital display is great and cool looking. While maintaining the set temperature (adjustable to 0.5 degree increments) the display is green. If the temperature is too low the display turns blue (also means it's heating) and if the temp is too high the display is red.
When doing large water changes you may want to heat the make up water before adding it to your aquarium. The wattage rating appears higher than what the heater is capable and it seems to take excessive time to bring tank temp up after water changes.
Value for money
For a heater it's quite expensive, but I'd rather pay up front now than cook my fish later with a less reliable heater.
Customer Support
So far there has been no need.
Liked about it
1. COMPLETELY electronic thermostat with digital display.
2. Very accurate with temperature adjustments of 0.5 degree increments.
3. Glass body is enclosed in a plastic housing for protection.
Didn't like
1. Wattage rating seems higher than what is actually is.
2. Low flow alarm (flashing red) is annoying.
3. Mounting bracket design could be better.

Worth the Price
Installation and Operation
Installation is basically plug and play. Instructions are simple to follow. It is a breeze to set the desired temperature. The adjustment lever makes it super easy to change temp setting in .5 degree increments.
Performance vs. Expectations
I expected a lot out of the heater and I am not disappointed. My temperature stays steady anytime I check it.
Value for money
The heater is a bit on the pricey side but I feel confident that it will not fail me.
Liked about it
I like the easy adjustment lever and the fact that I can set it in half degree increments. The small monitor on the heater shows green when the temp of the water matches the setting. A simple peek into my sump lets me know my water is at the correct temp(I also use a glass thermometer in my DT for backup). If the water is too hot the monitor turns red, and blue if water is too cold. I also like the plastic casing the heaters are in to decrease the chance of any accidents.
Didn't like
The price is only thing I could possibly complain about, but they are worth the money.

Cinema of Woody Allen
Our fall series of Woody Allen movies continue as Steve Hunt presents "Crimes and misdemeanors" In Woody Allens thriller, an Opthamologist's mistress threatens to reveal their affair to his wife, while a married documentary filmmaker is infatuated by another woman. This fine work of art shockingly answers the question that from time to time crosses ones mind: how could anyone go on living a normal life after committing a serious crime as murder.

Berkeley Lab researchers have devised a technique whereby self-assembling nanoparticle arrays can form a highly ordered thin film over macroscopic distances in one minute.
Peggy Lemaux, UC Berkeley cooperative extension specialist, is working with Berkeley Lab and the University of Kentucky to develop a genetically engineered tobacco plant that will produce oil that can be used as a biofuel. KQED Science wrote this story about the research effort.
California's winter tule fog – hated by drivers, but needed by fruit and nut trees – has declined dramatically over the past three decades, raising a red flag for the state's multibillion dollar agricultural industry, according to researchers at UC Berkeley.
Winter rains and summer groundwater pumping in California's Central Valley make the Sierra Nevada and Coast Ranges sink and rise by a few millimeters each year, creating stress on the state's earthquake faults that could increase the risk of a quake.
Rebecca Peters' IQ score measured so low in fourth grade that her school did not deem her to be college material. Her parents didn't buy it, and neither did she.

Scientists working together on Kelp Watch 2014 announced today that the West Coast shoreline shows no signs of ocean-borne radiation from Japan's Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster, following their analysis of the first collection of kelp samples along the western U.S. coastline.
By the end of this century climate change will result in more frequent and more extreme heat, more drought, and fewer extremes in cold weather in the United States. Average high temperatures could climb as much as 10 or more degrees Fahrenheit in some parts of the country.
People working in buildings certified under LEED's green building standard appear no more satisfied with the quality of their indoor workplace environments than those toiling in conventional buildings, according to new research from UC Berkeley, and the University of Nottingham in the United Kingdom.
William Dietrich and graduate student Daniella Rempe have proposed a method to determine underground details without drilling, potentially providing a more precise way to predict water runoff, the moisture available to plants, landslides and how these will respond to climate change.
A new study by UC Berkeley researchers and international collaborators finds that policies to support sustainable cattle ranching practices in Brazil could put a big dent in the beef and food industry's greenhouse gas impact by reducing deforestation.
The bad news: a major transformation of our current energy supply system is needed in order to avoid a dangerous increase in global temperatures. The good news: the technologies needed to get there are mostly readily available.
The costs of using wind energy and natural gas for electricity are virtually equal when accounting for the full private and social costs of each, making wind a competitive energy source for the United States, according to a new study on the federal tax credit for wind energy.
Children born to mothers who work in California's pesticide-treated fields show signs of developmental problems, according the pathbreaking CHAMACOS study, led by UC Berkeley professor Dr. Brenda Eskenazi in the Center for Environmental Research and Children's Health.

As 2013 came to a close, the media dutifully reported that the year had been the driest in California since records began to be kept in the 1840s. UC Berkeley paleoclimatologist B. Lynn Ingram didn't think the news stories captured the seriousness of the situation.
University of California, Berkeley, scientists will receive $4,900,000 over the next five years to study the nearly 10,000 square kilometer Eel River watershed in Northern California and how its vegetation, geology and topography affect water flow all the way to the Pacific Ocean.
