tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-110888332014-11-17T01:01:58.183-08:00Dare I read?Glenn Ingersollhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11088833.post-35158892565964866282014-10-23T13:19:00.002-07:002014-10-23T13:22:20.700-07:0025 years of the Best PoemsIn 1989 I began copying out other people's poems and keeping them in a loose-leaf notebook. The germ of the project was a collection of poems I put together for a Reader's Theater class at Santa Rosa Jr. College. Reader's Theater performs primarily non-theatrical texts as theater - poems, essays, fiction. The text in hand may feature in the performance. You might make your notebook flap like a bird while your colleague reads from "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner," for example. You generally don't memorize, but you ought to practice enough that the text is there for anchor rather than crutch.

Many things about Reader's Theater worked for me - the choosing of the texts, the collaging of them, the performance (without memorization being required), the inventiveness of minimalist staging. The class attended one competition. We didn't win any awards - our competitors were experienced and we were just figuring things out - but it was fun and nerve-wracking.

For the final project we were in teams. For my team I proposed a piece based on my fascination with creation-of-the-world stories. Sadly, one member took ill and had to bow out. That left me and a woman who had let me put the readings together and mostly followed my directions for performance. She was game, but by the time we gave our grand performance we had had little rehearsal time. We didn't get to perform before the rest of the class, even. I think our entire audience was the instructor. She had nice things to say, though had to note how unfinished it seemed. That's the Creation, isn't it?

Writing poetry you get asked who your favorite poets are. There was the vast corpus of poetry and I had read so little of it. How could I name favorites? Having read poems mostly in anthologies I knew I liked this poem or that poem, but poets? I ought to know for myself what/who I liked so I could follow up. If I loved a William Carlos Williams poem in an anthology, I could turn to his collections with a good chance I would find more to love. So in order to learn, in order to hang onto the poems that touched me and incorporate their lessons into my own work, in order to name favorites, in order to have poems to share, I decided to save poems.

At the end of the Reader's Theater class I had a small batch of poems I really liked - a Hawaiian creation chant, a California Indian creation tale, a poem by James Weldon Johnson. They were already gathered in a notebook, so I just added to it. At first I typed up the poems. I wanted them to look professional, as though this anthology were an Anthology. But I hated typing and that quickly got in the way. The frustrations of typing overruled the need to look professional. Besides, "professional" meant typesetting in my mind. The typewriter's product didn't really match my fantasy. If I couldn't do "professional" then I would go for personal. Although I try to keep my handwriting neat and readable (and mistake-free), I'm hardly a calligrapher. Over time I forgave my imperfections. One of the benefits of hand copying, I discovered, was the physical fact of writing the poems. What better way to learn from them? Sure, there's memorization (and I promised myself I would try that), and there's writing about a poem (and I've done a little of that over the years, too), but hand copying is a simple way to really concentrate on a poem. You notice when words repeat. You notice the off-rhymes, the visual patterns. You have to see - and feel - each choice of word. I also found later that when I reread the poems I was reading my own writing - it looked like I had written the poems thus I felt more ownership of them.

I enjoy reading poetry. I don't like everything I read, but that's no surprise. Most poems I read once and feel no pull to return. Many I read twice to make sure I got what the poet was up to. A few I mark to reread several times. If, after five or six readings I still don't want to see the last of the poem, I copy it out. I reminded myself several times, especially in the early years, that I was copying out poems that were special to me, not the best poems by some other measure.

I have posted lists of several years worth of my personal anthology. Over the years I've been bothered by the claim that magazines like to make - that they publish only the "best" of what they are offered. Having worked on a few little magazines I know the claim is disingenuous - to be generous. I also decided to be amused by the titular boast of the Best American Poetry annual anthology. So when I began to post a list of what I had copied out in the previous calendar year I dubbed each "The Best Poems of the Year." Whether the poem was written a thousand years ago or yesterday didn't matter in the slightest. These were the "best" poems I had read, the poems that worked "best" for me. They are all, at the very least, quite good, and I am happy to have them.

When I realized this was the 25th year of my personal anthology I thought I ought to read the whole thing from the beginning. Of course, the poems I copied out in the early years are probably the poems I have read and reread more than any others so I'm not encountering surprises. There are poems I probably would not copy out today, but I still like things about them and understand why I chose to copy them out at that time. It may be that there are poems I did not copy out at the time that I would today, had I the chance, but that's something I've discussed with myself over the years. It's okay. You have to let things go. I do have permission to copy out a poem I come upon in a new context. I also have permission to discard a poem I've come to dislike. I would rather not do that as I wish to honor my original choices. But I have done it a couple times.

Here are the pieces that began the project, the ones that "created" it:

Hawaiian Chant ….. The Crawlers
James Weldon Johnson ….. The Creation
Maori of New Zealand ….. Chant to Io / Six Periods of Creation
Yurok of California ….. a folk tale beginning "At first Wohpekumeu wanted to make the river run upstream…"

Drop in on the second Thursday of each month from 6:30 pm-7:50 pm starting October 9, 2014. Bring in a favorite poem to share and if you write poetry, bring one of your own too. We will be sharing poems in a reading circle. Discover new poets, hear new voices and ways of working the same old world into new words.

Poetry is not one thing. It can be wacky. It can be profound. It can be sad or ecstatic, heartening or surprising. It can make sense out of what never has. So come, participate in the friendly atmosphere, share a ready ear, read aloud (or recite), and let the words do their weave and swing. Bringing poems is not necessary — we will have plenty of poetry here to share — if you come with open hands. For questions regarding this program, call 510-981-6280.

This free program is sponsored by the Friends of the Berkeley Public Library www.berkeleylibraryfriends.org.

Whether it's of any significance I don't really know.

Most days I glance over the stats Google collects for my blog. Other than a rare comment I don't get any other feedback. (When I share a post on Facebook I will get a couple comments there.) Blog visits have been poking along fairly consistently for years, about a thousand a month. There will be a weird spike once in a while. Such spikes tend to be some kind of phony stats boosting by other sites that are, I guess, doing the same thing to lots of other blogs in hopes of getting return visits by puzzled blog writers.

There was a big spike in the number of visits this month. 4,000+. Dunno why. Two posts I did this year on suicide seem to have suddenly been noticed by someone: "How does this even work" and "he can shuffle off his present" … Not that either one is burning up the interwebs. Still, I hardly expected they would outdo my posts on J. Edgar Hoover or octopuses. I can't figure out from the information Google gives me who is finding their way to those posts and why, as neither seems to be linked to by a prominent source. (Unlike my theft of the passage in William Burroughs' Naked Lunch that provides the source for "Steely Dan.") I'm not saying those two posts have spiked my stats. It's just that seeing unusual visit numbers hit those two posts in particular is a little surprise.

In past stats spikes the spike was sudden and faded fast, spike-like, in other words. This month the numbers have continued at the peak, more or less. Not a one day spike, but numbers that have been going on most of the month. It would be fun to know the story behind them. Has Google changed an algorithm? Has the next generation discovered me?Glenn Ingersollhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11088833.post-4237683960029118142014-09-26T22:07:00.000-07:002014-09-26T22:07:19.324-07:00pile of readingFar from the Tree: parents, children, and the search for identity by Andrew Solomon
Andrew Solomon devotes each chapter to a different category of child that presents to the parent as a person unlike them: the Autistic, the Deaf, Transgender, etc. I'm on the eighth chapter which is devoted to prodigies, music prodigies, specifically. Since Solomon himself is gay he's more ready to notice when people he writes about are, too. Though there isn't a chapter expressly on gay people, Andrew Solomon speaks about his own experience as a gay man (with straight parents) in the opening and closing chapters. The book is sometimes fascinating, sometimes depressing, sometimes intriguing, sometimes oddly diffuse.

Oz Before the Rainbow: L. Frank Baum's The Wonderful Wizard of Oz on stage and screen to 1939 by Mark Evan Swartz
Real detail on the live version of Wizard that was the biggest stage hit of its day (1902). It was not much like the book or the MGM movie.

At the Back of the North Wind by George MacDonald
I loved George MacDonald's fairy tales so I was looking forward to this novel. I enjoyed the first third where the North Wind is personified as a woman who picks up the little boy protagonist and carries him off to adventures. But then the North Wind goes away and the text gets preachy.

Poets of Our Time edited by F E S Finn
An anthology of English verse which was published in 1965, year of my birth. A lot more devotion to traditional prosody than in the anthologies I usually read. Not bad, though.

Sudden Dreams: new and selected poems by George Evans
"world of a thousand / eyes viewing a thousand things at once / and each thing equal"

Short: an international anthology of five centuries of short-short stories, prose poems, brief essays, and other short prose forms edited by Alan Ziegler
More like reading a poetry anthology than one of short stories. The usual anthology experience - worth the time but uneven.

Against Forgetting: twentieth-century poetry of witness edited by Carolyn Forche
I expect I will be reading this rather long anthology for a long time as I don't see myself reading more than a few poems at a sitting. These are poems about living through terrible world events.

Mojo: the music magazine, August 2014 issue
Favorite song on the compilation CD that came with the issue: "Slowly" performed by the Haden Triplets. Pretty, folky singing.

Revenge: a story of hope by Laura Blumenfeld
This one is at my desk at work. I read in on breaks. It's really working for me. Blumenfeld writes well and I love the way she thinks aloud and researches and debates and doubts and clings to her needs. Her father was shot in Jerusalem by a Palestinian. Father's head was grazed by the bullet. When daughter Laura asks if he wants revenge (she does), Father is baffled by the impulse.

She came out to me by calling me from college … The next day I wrote her a long letter. I told her that what was most important to me was not whether she loved a man or a woman, but that she loved and was loved well — that she experience passion, and the wonderful surprise of finding that someone feels about you as strongly as you do about them, lucky and full-hearted.

I came across this quote in Andrew Solomon's Far from the Tree: parents, children, and the search for identity. Andrew Solomon investigated the way parents cope with finding out their child is unlike them. The topic chapters include the Deaf, Dwarfs, Down Syndrome, and Autism. Mostly Solomon interviews parents who cope well. Still, when I came across Betty Adelson's description of her reaction to her daughter Anna's coming out announcement, I was awed. Those are some seriously beautiful words.

I read the passage to Kent and couldn't help choking up (made it difficult to get the words out). He kept patting me on the shoulder and telling me it was okay. Yeah. It was totally okay.

The narrator [of the story "Verily He Is Risen" by Mikhail Shishkin] harks back to Soviet-speak when he hears a woman who might have been his schoolmate and recalls the realia of a Soviet schoolchild's life and the kind of verse they recite. [my bolding]

source: Marilyn Schwartz's introduction to her translation of Mikhail Shishkin's short story which appears in Two Lines: world writing in translation, no. 17

I looked again at the part of the story where the "woman who might have been [the narrator's] schoolmate" appears. The woman's way of speaking reminds the narrator of "a girl in my grade at school [who] was the school's best at reciting the poem about the Soviet passport and 'I've disliked the oval since a child and since a child have drawn an angle,' and lots of other poems in that vein, and therefore she performed at all the Pioneer and later Komsomol assemblies …" I don't see where the narrator remembers any "objects … used by the teacher to illustrate everyday living" — unless the translator is referring to a "poem about the Soviet passport." I understand the Soviet passport wasn't so much for travel outside the Soviet Union but rather something you had to produce to prove you were allowed to be wherever it was you currently were (even if it was where you grew up). In that case the passport, at least, would be an object of "everyday living." In the U.S. you only get a passport if you plan to leave the country. Maybe the equivalent in the U.S. would be the driver's license which is used more frequently for identification purposes than to prove you have the state's permission to drive.

There's the technical - talking about keys and fifths and timbre or whatever. And there's metaphor. The jargon of the technical quickly loses me. I have no way to conjure the sound in my head. On the other hand, metaphor is fun to read and creates a feeling that I can associate with the music. In neither case do I hear the music. But at least with evocative metaphor I am intrigued and more inclined to seek the music out.

The critic who writes about pop and rock for The New Yorker is Sasha Frere-Jones. I recently read a feature of his about the band Grizzly Bear. Let's look at his metaphors:

"The songs on [the album] 'Yellow House' … seem to glow from within, as though the electricity had gone out and the house were lit only by candles."

Frere-Jones likens the playing of a particular chord in one song to "a car coughing to life, or someone rising to his feet reluctantly."

When later in that song "the backing vocals" come in, they "are bleeding in from above, like the tub upstairs overflowing."

Grizzly Bear's more recent album, "Veckatimest," Sasha-Jones calls "a sprawling water park, sending you through different sluices and dropping you from pools down into slides that give onto small lakes."

One of the songs on that album is "a big fat ice-cream cone."

Another "manages to sink fully into its own honey without disappearing."

The concluding song of "Veckatimest" shows us that, "The fog has lifted and now we can see an entire city, not just a house."

If you're curious, the metaphor about the tub overflowing refers to the song "Knife":

Being gay is very different from a heterosexual's experience, in which everything they see, hear, and have been told confirms their own experience. Whereas for gay men and lesbians, their experience is at odds with what they're told.

That's Robert H. Hopcke in an interview conducted by Mark Thompson.

We stopped in at a museum that featured gold mining equipment and Indian baskets and so on. I bought some postcards, as I am wont to do, and chatted a little with the lady behind the front counter. When I said we were from Berkeley, she said she was born in Berkeley!

Somehow we got onto the topic of education - maybe it was the ignorance of kids today, or some such evergreen - and she said she couldn't believe schools no longer required handwriting, that is, cursive. How could you consider yourself educated if you didn't know how to do that?

Probably nobody (older) has ever but agreed with this sentiment (not long ago my younger sister posted similarly on Facebook), so I must have surprised the museum lady when I rolled my eyes and said, "I always hated cursive. As soon as it was no longer required I stopped using it. The only time I write with cursive these days is when I apply a signature."

Sadly, we suddenly lost our common ground!

In his book about the FBI and the Free Speech Movement Subversives, Seth Rosenfeld spends several pages on a biographical sketch of former University of California president Clark Kerr. Kerr remembered his grade school days and one of those confident predictions made by his teacher at the old one-room school:

[T]hough she insisted he learn the prevailing Palmer Method of cursive writing - unless he mastered it, she warned, he would "never amount to anything" - he clung to his block letters.

I doubt Rosenfeld interviewed Miss Elba himself so I'm guessing Mr Kerr provides the quote from memory. It stuck in his memory! He did amount to something, the little rebel.

They wore dark, conservative suits, white shirts, ties, and spit-polished shoes, their hair cut short and their faces closely shaved. They were subject to annual physicals and strict weight limits, though some of them complained that Hoover seemed well over the limit. "We were all taking pills to try to repress our appetite, to trim down," [agent Burney] Threadgill recalled.

Edgar Hoover's funeralOn the whole Seth Rosenfeld's book about domestic spying and the government's efforts to undermine dissent is not sympathetic to J. Edgar Hoover and the agency with which he was virtually synonymous. Still I found this passage about Hoover's elderly (and now widowed) second-in-command Clyde Tolson a poignant portrait in a few words:

The casket was lowered and the flag shrouding it folded and presented to [Clyde] Tolson, who looked weak and confused. He had resigned the day after his companion's death, and on inheriting nearly all of [J. Edgar Hoover]'s estate lived in Hoover's house among his antiques until his own death three years later.

If you're curious to read some thoughts on the relationship between the two men you might check out this slate article, which ends with a snippet from a letter Clyde wrote to Edgar:

"Words are mere man-given symbols for thoughts and feelings, and they are grossly insufficient to express the thoughts in my mind and the feelings in my heart that I have for you," Hoover wrote to Tolson in 1943. "I hope I will always have you beside me."

And, no, I haven't forgotten the FBI's persecution of homosexuals, an irony (Hoover's vicious defense of his closet?) that certainly colors any discussion of the Tolson-Hoover relationship.

The New Yorker is famous for the rigorousness of its fact-checking. I don't know if the biographical information about John Roberts that Toobin includes in his latest book also appeared in The New Yorker. Regardless, it's time for a little correcting.

John Roberts, the future Chief Justice of the U.S. Supreme Court, Toobin says, attended a single-sex Catholic high school in Indiana.

Roberts was not just the valedictorian of the class of 1973. He served as captain of the football team, a varsity wrestler, member of both the student council and the drama club. (He played Peppermint Patty in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown …)

A real jack-of-all-trades, eh? For a moment I was amused by imagining the young Roberts in drag as a female Peanuts character. Then I remembered that Peppermint Patty is not a character in You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown. Toobin isn't the first to make the mistake. My high school did You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown, too, and there was some confusion about the character in it named Patty. The original Patty had disappeared from the comic strip by the 70s.

The original Patty, a blonde, and her friend, Violet, a brunette, were a tag team who were alternately friendly with and harassers of Charlie Brown, more or less the role Lucy later filled. I'm not sure when the original Patty (and Violet?) disappeared, yet a second Patty had (coincidentally?) joined the strip's cast at about the same time You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown was being written. Peppermint Patty (unlike the original Patty) was a tomboy and was the first girl Charles Schulz didn't draw in a dress. Peppermint Patty wore shorts and sandals. Had John Roberts played Peppermint Patty on stage he would hardly have been in drag at all.

A 1999 revival of You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown switched out Patty for Charlie Brown's little sister, Sally.

[B]iologist Roland Anderson … helped to design an experiment for a female giant Pacific octopus … named Billye. … A fellow female octopus named Pandora had gotten tasty hunks of herring in a screw-top jar, which over several tests took her an average of two minutes to open. Anderson … decided to … 'offer [their captive octopuses] childproof pill bottles.' … Anderson and his team at the aquarium had drilled small holes in the plastic bottle so Billye would be able to get a whiff of the meat inside. Fueled with this incentive, she managed to open the bottle … in … about fifty-five minutes. … With a little practice, she was able to get it down to an average of about five minutes.

It was the kind of child-proof bottle where you have to push the lid down while turning it. I just got one of those from the pharmacy. After I open one of those I won't tighten the lid again. My mother often had me open her childproof bottles. There have been times I've been tempted to saw the top off.

source: Sam Spina's Spinadoodles blog

Two of my favorite things - poetry and comics. "John P." might be John Porcellino, creator of King Kat Comics. I'm guessing so because John Porcellino's work often feels like poetry to me, with his line drawings suggesting more than they explicitly depict, and their frequently contemplative quality. Is Noah in the strip disparaging comics for being "like poetry"? Chiding comics creators for making comics only another comics creator will want to read? It's a common criticism of poets these days. The final panel might be a confirmation of Noah's belief - the girl is yawning so Habibi (a book-length comic) must not be connecting with this reader? We don't know whether the girl is a comics creator. I suspect the confirmation is meant to be gently ironic - it is being offered by a comics artist in comics form, after all.

I discovered "Bar Talk with Noah" in a collection of Sam Spina's autobiographical Spinadoodle strips that I bought at the Alternative Press Expo 2012 . With all the eager artists and their often-impressive wares at table after table, the choice of what to actually buy ends up more random than you'd think. There are things one takes into consideration, of course. I bought Spinadoodles: the third year because - ? Because I usually like autobiographical comics. Because the price wasn't bad. Because I liked the art. Because the artist was selling his work himself. Because the artist was cute.

update 5/20: Sam Spina confirms my suspicion: "I am talking about John P of King Cat fame with another really, really awesome cartoonist Noah Van Sciver in that strip."Glenn Ingersollhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-11088833.post-90811289303426672362014-04-30T15:30:00.000-07:002014-05-05T17:59:56.264-07:00"The question of publishing is always the question of facing embarrassment"In an interview the Icelandic poet Sjon says, "The question of publishing is always the question of facing embarrassment."

Sjon published his first book as a teenager and recently came out with a collection called Complete Poems. The interviewer asked about the decision to include those early poems. Sjon replied:

My first poems were written when I was fifteen and published in the summer when I was sixteen, so [my first book] is really something that was written by a fifteen-year-old teenager. I actually decided to print them all, to just let them out there, because you can find them in the library. … [W]hy don't I just acknowledge … them[?] … I am not sure I would have been so relaxed twelve years ago or so. Today, now, I am approaching middle age, so I've got no problem with that because the question of publishing is always the question of facing embarrassment.

The Sjon quote puts me in mind of those who advise writers not to send their work out too quickly. You might not realize it's bad, these advisors say, so keep it back until you're sure. There's nothing you'll regret so much as seeing embarrassing poems in print. Bad poems will haunt you!

Hmf. When a publisher chooses your work, they are usually choosing it over the work of others. Publishing is a lot of work - and not much reward. So if they like something trust that they like it, that they saw a value in it, something worth their trouble and expense. If you decide that, after all, the poem was lousy, well, so what. Lots of lousy stuff seems to get into print. Maybe the publisher put it between covers (or into pixels) for extra-literary reasons - because you paid them to, because you're their friend and they didn't want to hurt you, because you have a big name they hoped would help with marketing, because reasons.

A poet's collected poems rarely includes everything they've published. Even a Complete Poems will exclude poems. I recently read through all of Alicia Ostriker's poetry books yet did not find a poem I copied out from an anthology a few years ago. I copied out a couple poems from her books, too, but clearly Ostriker did not agree with me that the poem in the obscure anthology was superior to so many she chose over it for her collections. Was she embarrassed by the poem after its publication? Should Ostriker's opinion of her poem (or her publisher's opinion) influence mine?

In a moment of deep despair, I grabbed a knife and toyed with ending my life. … I took the knife into the bathroom … I walked to the shower, slid the glass door open, and sat down inside, sliding the door shut behind me. … [T]he room just beyond was a blur, obscured by soap scum. … I ran the dull side [of the knife] along my left wrist, like I was taking it for a test drive. The metal, like the shower floor, was cold. … How does this even work? I asked, almost aloud … I couldn't will myself to go through with it. I was too afraid - of the selfishness of this act and how my family would react to it; of the physical pain involved; of failing at this, too; but most of all of the fate I was sure would greet me after death.

That's Chris Stedman's low point, according to his memoir Faitheist, which recounts his spiritual journey, from culturally Christian as a child to his born-again experience as a teen to his accepting himself as a gay man and rejecting Christianity's monstrous god.

Stedman says the main reason he didn't kill himself in the shower that night was the expectation he would face the terrible tortures of hell, suicide being one of those sins that park a soul in that unfriendly place. In a post earlier this month I wondered if many people were dissuaded from killing themselves out of fear of the afterlife. In the above passage Chris Stedman says that fear was what, "most of all," made him choose life.

Maybe so. Stedman lists other reasons, though. And by the time he crouches in the cold shower he is already convinced that his same sex desires have reserved him a boiling pot of torment in God's ugly cellar. Stedman has prayed repeatedly over the Bible verses that supposedly condemn homosexuality, and God hasn't piped up with any relief. He isolates himself from his family and his Christian friends. He is in pain and sees no way to alleviate it.

Considering the rest of the memoir, its testimony to Stedman's need for social engagement, his sense of justice, I'm not convinced that imagining post-death torture is what stops the knife. I suspect it had more to do with the poverty of the Christian version. This Christianity is empty of love so his empty heart yearned for something beyond it.

I know I contemplated the permanent pain killer and hell was no factor. Nor, for that matter, was another of Stedman's reasons for living - what he calls the "selfishness" of suicide. Rather, if I can come up with any particular reason why I'm yet alive, if one really can look into that tunnel-vision state of mind and say much coherent about it, I'd say I could imagine a better life. I could imagine not hurting so much. I could even imagine being happy. I didn't know how or if a better life would be mine, but it was not out of the reach of my dreams.

[M]any indigenous cultures refer to themselves as the people, implying that everyone else is not the people. [Derrick Jensen] asked whether, then, some form of xenophobia is inherent in all of us.

[Richard Drinnon responded,] "The name strikes you and me as xenophobic since a cardinal principle of our Western civilization has been what one anthropologist calls 'the negation of the other.' By contrast tribal cultures affirmed 'the other who affirms you' and this principle always carried with it the possibility of extending the people outward …'"

I've wondered about this "the people" business. I remember encountering it first in a PBS documentary about the people of the American Southwest. The Navajo call themselves Dine, which the narrator said translates as "the people." I think I was a teenager when I saw the program. As I read more about Native American tribes I came across others who referred to themselves as "the people." What does that make the rest of us?

Richard Drinnon thinks the contrast between us/the people and them/not? the people for tribal societies and us and them in modern Western culture is that the us of the tribe is open to adoption, whereas the us of modern Western culture is essentially race based, which makes becoming one of us in modern Western culture extraordinarily difficult, and frequently impossible. In this discussion curated by Derrick Jensen in his book The Culture of Make Believe Richard Drinnon says the adoption principle can extend "outward, beyond family and clan and tribe to all other beings and things in a universal embrace." If true - and common - then calling one's group "the people" wouldn't have much meaning.

LEE COUNTY, Fla.- The W.P Franklin Lock is one of two places where water was being released Wednesday. Before Isaac, water levels at Lake Okeechobee measured 12.5 feet. On Wednesday, it was at 15.11 feet.
It's risen three feet in a month and a half. The Army Corps of Engineers said that level is alarmingly high and the release is the best solution especially when it comes to protecting the 70-year-old Herbert Hoover Dike, near Clewiston.
The Army Corps of Engineers Spokesperson, John Campbell said, "The Corps is looking at trying to manage the lake, so we have adequate storage for hurricane season, which still has two months to go, and we want to maintain enough water so we can supply the various users with water during the dry season."
The Army Corps move has come under scrutiny. Right now, the fresh water is making its way down the Caloosahatchee. Environmenalists said too much fresh water would throw off the estuary's balance. In the past, critics say, lake releases like this one have hurt algae blooms, oysters and seagrass.
Campbell said, "We want to manage the lake in a way that eases the pressure off the dyke, but still be sensitive to the environment and retain water for dry season. It is a very delicate balancing process."
This will be a long term process. The water will be released throughout the winter.

These bad odors might smell rotten or burned and they tend to occur only
one nostril.
my case, the unpleasant smells started when I sniffed, blew my nose, sneezed or laughed. However they can also manifest for no obvious reason. This disorder progresses over time, but you will probably NOT notice that unpleasant odor directly after you wake up (at least at first). When these smells first appeared, I got temporary relief by pinching on my nose and holding my breath.

I recommend stopping the nizoral immediately
. Although it is useful
it is too hard on the liver, especially
kittens. Since you are seeing blood in the vomit and his stool, medications to reduce GI ulceration may be helpful, but since he cannot keep down oral medications and will quickly become dehydrated, I recommend taking him to an emergency clinic tonight for fluids and injectable medications, and labwork to evaluate his liver.

is another anti-fungal that is effective for ringworm and is safer in cats than Terbinafine. It will have to be used for at least a month. Usual dose is 50mg per cat per day. All oral anti-fungals are dangerous in cats if they have liver disease, since anti-fungal medication is metabolised in the liver. Since the ringworm is so severe, topical ointment medication, bathing with an anti-fungal shampoo 2 X per week and the oral Fluconazole may be necessary.

I tried to remove one with tweezers, and it was very tacky (as
sticky) and clearly goes deep under the skin. Part of it broke off but I could still see that the pore was plugged and a day or two later top of the plug was sticking out again. i can't find ANYTHING online that looks like it.

Although less common than
dogs, yeast dermatitis can occur
, especially
with underlying internal disease. Clinical signs: Symptoms include localized, multifocal or generalized hairloss, red skin, and yellow crusting or scaling. The skin and fur may be greasy. In chronic cases the skin becomes dark, thickened and "elephant-like". Most animals are very itchy, and there is often an unpleasant body odor.

Malassezia pachydermatis is a yeast that is commonly found on the skin of most dogs and
low numbers. It is found anywhere on the skin, lip or other skin folds, vagina, anal glands, ear canal, and rectum. Malassezia skin yeast is usually kept at very low numbers by the immune system.

he took a second set of cultures and decided to treat empirically with
for ringworm, just
case it is. I have also been putting topical clomitrazole on it for over a week. No response. I tried putting coconut oil and topical hydrocortisone cream on it which seems to help with the inflammation but I have no idea what to do since I don't have a diagnosis...!!

Canned pumpkin mixed with dry kibble can help with a dog who is used to canned food and canned pumpkin
a kkong and put

They are powder packets and used in humans for poison ivy so look in that area but in dogs you can use it to dry they ear and change the ph making it harder for yeast to grow.

This would be the new vet. I have 2 vets I take my

If it isn't ringworm....could it be the new Lysol product I bought recently?

I don't think I can handle getting him
a box to take to a vet. I live
a country where
are regarded as vermin and there isn't a cat charity to ask for help. I looked it up on the internet, and I think he might have a fungal growth there that would require an expensive veterinary medication protocol that I can't afford even if I could somehow get him to a vet. Is there anything I could give him to help? Could I mix a human anit-fungal pill into his food?

I shave my pubic hair and that area is all just red rash and welts if I rub lightly to relieve the itch. How long before this
actually works?? The 1% hydrocortisone cream
clotrimaderm isn't working at all. In fact, I'm wondering if it isn't the culprit since the rashes started after beginning the pills and this cream. The vagisil still takes care of the itch for about an hour at a time but it burns now when I put it on.

I am 30 years old

If he gets worse he will be referred. Honestly, I have never
my life seen this before. I have seen ringworm
dogs and
but never owned a cat that somehow got this disease. So, to me, everything I see is concerning. At first, his lesions looked like ringworm, but now it just looks like nothing I've ever seen before. The cat is, of course, not happy about this and is very uncomfortable. He is still eating and acting normal.

Phase III Study of Rindopepimut/GM-CSF in Patients With Newly Diagnosed Glioblastoma
This 2-arm, randomized, phase III study will investigate the efficacy and safety of the addition of rindopepimut (an experimental cancer vaccine that may act to promote anti-cancer effects in patients who have tumors that express the EGFRvIII protein) to the current standard of care (temozolomide) in patients with recently diagnosed glioblastoma, a type of brain cancer. All patients will be administered temozolomide, the standard treatment for glioblastoma. Half the patients will be randomly assigned to receive rindopepimut and half the patients will be randomly assigned to receive a control called keyhole limpet hemocyanin. Patients will be treated in a blinded fashion (neither the patient or the doctor will know which arm of the study the patient is on). Patients will be treated until disease progression or intolerance to therapy and all patients will be followed for survival.
