Two young designers from Turin have created Deformazione Professionale – a line of clever new furnishings made from old unwanted doors. Founders of Studio Lacrime D'Arte, Valentia and Riccardo Sartori have created a bookshelf and a chaise lounge by recycling a total of four doors. The doors take on new functionality and a fresh look while keeping their characteristic traits – the handles and locks are retained.
Valentia and Riccardo Sartori have realized a hidden potential in old doors, and how its minimalist straight lines can be used as a basis of forming contemporary furniture. These doors are cut by hand and shaped into the desired forms. The bookshelf is made of two varnished doors, with the handles and locks intact, using pieces of a third one for support. The chaise longue on the other hand, is cut out of only one door, complemented with a leather seat and antique oak stand.

week 29 update

|Thu, 12-29-2011 - 10:46pm
Hello, everyone! I hope this week is going well for you. I had my 29w appointment on Monday.
I lost 0.4 lb during the past 2 weeks. Ugh. Not a large amount, but I am trying to gain so I am disappointed. The MFM did not say anything about it. Monkey's hb was in the 160s. I asked the MFM his opinion on the pg support belt. He said it might or might not help and it wouldn't hurt. I've worn it for two days now and have not had any ligament pain. Yippee! I hope it stays like that.
I also had my first baby shower that day. DH was with me, helping to open gifts. We received a lot of nice things. Made me laugh how only two of the presents were from our registry. Just goes to show you that it is true what they say about people getting what they want instead. Oh, well.
Yesterday we toured the maternity ward at the hospital where I will deliver. It was nice to see it and learn more about what happens once you show up in labor. They told us to go to the ER instead of the floor directly. I would not have known that.
My goal for the weekend is to get bags packed. When did or will you do this?

Oesophageal cancer: Fund a clinical trial to find a more effective treatment
Last updated: 12/05/2014
What's this project about?
The number of people diagnosed with oesophageal (foodpipe) cancer has risen in Great Britain over the past 30 years. Each year, around 8,000 people are diagnosed with oesophageal cancer in the UK - that's over 150 people every week.
Oesophageal cancer remains one of the hardest cancers to treat, often because it is diagnosed late. Beating oesophageal cancer is one of Cancer Research UK's priorities and we hope that our groundbreaking work will help survival rates to dramatically improve.
Supporting this project

Let your friends and family know about this project to get them involvedShare this project
What's the science behind the project?
Professor David Ferry is Professor of Medical Oncology at New Cross Hospital in Wolverhampton. He is leading a large clinical trial to see if the drug gefitinib (Iressa) can improve survival rates in people who have oesophageal cancer that has returned after treatment/chemotherapy. This trial has now recruited.
Doctors often use chemotherapy to treat oesophageal cancer that has come back, but while some people respond well to this treatment, others may not. Professor Ferry wants to see if gefitinib may be a more effective way to treat the disease.
Gefitinib works by blocking signals that can help cancer cells grow. This treatment may have benefits such as fewer side effects, as it specifically targets cancer cells and leaves healthy cells unharmed. Professor Ferry hopes to find out if gefitinib will improve survival and the quality of life for people whose oesophageal cancer has returned.
The difference you can make
The number of people surviving oesophageal cancer for at least 10 years after being diagnosed has trebled in the last 40 years.
Although this is a great achievement, the survival rate still remains low - with only around 1 in 10 patients likely to survive their disease for ten years. We hope to raise £60,000 - the amount of money that it would cost to support a research team working on a project like Professor Ferry's.
With work like that of Professor Ferry we believe we can turn these statistics around and help more people beat oesophageal cancer than ever before. With your help we can make this belief a reality.
Project update May 2014
Thanks to the everyone who has donated or fundraised for this project. Your amazing support has meant we hit our £60,000 target sooner than expected. We have now been able to extend the target to £70,000 to fund more of this trial.

SH: The Paper Man (Ch. 1)I. Mrs. HudsonMrs. Hudson had done most of the work. She knew John felt guilty, but she also knew he just couldn't bring himself to help, and so, when push came to shove, she hadn't pressed him. After all, she really didn't mind. And that was why, when it finally came time to box up all of Sherlock's things, Mrs. Hudson had been the one to do it. Clothes, books, furniture, stacks and stacks of files and old police reports, the vast array of chemistry equipment, all the chemicals.In time, the flat was turned inside out: drawers were emptied, cupboards cleaned, and properly this time, the way they should have been from the start. Mrs. Hudson ran her pale hands across everything. There was, after all, a certain sanctity to it: each object was like unearthing a piece of Sherlock, getting to know him a second time over. The harpoon she discovered stashed in the bedroom closet had her laughing so hard her sides began to hurt. Other finds were more troubling, like the small handful of needl
SH: The Paper ManPrologueIt wasn't quite a nightmare.It couldn't have been; he was still awake when it began. He remembered the feeling of his phone slipping from his hand, and the second of heavy silence before it clattered to the floor. It skittered away somewhere under the couch and he could tell by the sound that the screen had cracked, but he was already thinking of Harry, even before his knees gave out from beneath him. She'd be upset that he'd broken her old phone, the one she'd given him to keep in touch; she'd take offense, as though he'd done it on purpose just to spite her.Of course, he hadn't spoken to Harry in years.And that was the last thing John remembered before he hit the back of his head against the side table and blacked outthat he hadn't spoken to his sister in years. And wasn't that ironic, since he hadn't spoken to Sherlock in years either, and here the man had just now called him, out of the blue, as though he'd never died at all.
SH: The Paper Man (Ch. 2)II. Greg Lestrade"I'm warning you, the smell's absolutely horrid."Greg Lestrade only nodded in curt acknowledgement, hurriedly shucking off his drenched outer coat as he closed the door behind him, shutting the storm out of the dilapidated apartment complex. "We've got forensics in there now," the sergeant continued, jerking his head upwards as he made his way down the last of the steps and onto the landing. In a practiced move he pulled off both his latex gloves and thrust them in his jacket pocket. "They've got their work cut out for them." Lestrade sighed heavily; he'd been hoping against hope that the initial reports had been at least somewhat exaggerated."It's the same M.O., then?""Unfortunately," the officer replied, throwing the newly appointed Detective Inspector a knowing look, one that said, I'm certainly glad I'm not you right now. Lestrade swallowed, awkwardly sidestepping to make way as two members of forensics, clad in their customary blue body suits, hu

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) -- An effort to seal Tennessee's handgun carry permit records from public scrutiny would create an exception for political operatives and lobbying groups to still obtain the entire set of names and addresses.
Republican Sen. Ferrell Haile of Gallatin told the Senate Judiciary Committee this week that his bill is an effort to block the publication of handgun carry permit records on newspaper websites.
He resisted efforts to strip the loophole for political groups from the bill for fear that it would torpedo the entire effort.
Political operatives and advocacy groups want to be able to obtain the names and addresses of all 398,000 permit holders so they can target them for fundraising and campaign mailings.
A vote was delayed by some committee members wishing to do away with that provision.

How many students does Ivy Tech Indianapolis take?
- 0Nov 28, '09 by SunshineTMW222I was wondering if anyone knew how many students Ivy tech in Indianapolis can take each semester? How competitive is it?
- 0Nov 29, '09 by sunnysideup09120 in both the fall and the spring. It is pretty competitive. If you get a C in any of the prerequisites, it will be hard to get into the RN program. You need to have mostly A's and a good TEAS score.
- 0Nov 29, '09 by SunshineTMW222thanks for the reply!..120 is alot..the muncie ivy tech only takes 30!...Do you know about how many apply in indy?? I will have 2 A's and 2 B's and yet to take the TEAS test...would it still be hard to get in with those grades?? Do you know of any easier schools to get into??
- 0Nov 30, '09 by SunshineTMW222There's some hope!..What semester/when was that?? I talked with the admissions lady in muncie and she pretty much told me good luck...like it wouldnt be possible.. She said like 300 people applied last semester...
- 0Dec 3, '09 by kgleWell, to be fair, the transitional program is LPN-RN. If you are not already an LPN then those scores wouldn't apply to your applicant pool. Transition students are accepted only among themselves, not with other ASN applicants. So yes, two As and two Bs would be difficult to get in with. It all depends on the grades of the other students applying.
- 0Jan 21, '10 by karateka817How good of a TEAS score do you think I'll need if I have all A's on my prereqs? I'm applying both at indianapolis and anderson...but now I'm worried..

Solwise NET-3G-3GWIFIMRW review
802.11g, 1x 10/100 Ethernet ports
It may look like a HomePlug adaptor, but this is actually a niche product that's designed to share a 3G mobile broadband connection, either via WiFi or wired networking.
Your 3G dongle plugs into one of two USB ports, but as they're so close together, a dongle might block access to the other port. You can also plug in a cable or ADSL modem via the WAN port, but most people will be better off buying a full-size ADSL or cable router, unless you need the portability, such as for using in a hotel room to give you wireless access. There's automatic failover, so as soon as the internet connection on the WAN port fails, you get a 3G connection instead.
You can configure the NET-3G-3GWIFIMRW using its setup CD or through the web interface. Both take you through the same options for wired, wireless and broadband connections. 3G internet access through a Virgin Mobile-branded Huawei E160 dongle was incredibly simple to set up, and worked perfectly once we'd entered our provider's details. We updated the device to the latest firmware, which supports more 3G dongles. Updating was easy; we just downloaded the latest version from Solwise's site and updated the router using the firmware setting in its web-based management.
Solwise hasn't scrimped on features. Websites can be blocked by keyword or IP address, and a simple Quality of Service (QoS) page lets you use pull-down menus to assign priorities to different internet services, such as voice, video or games. After connecting a 3G dongle, you can use the remaining USB port to share a storage device, printer or webcam. FTP support and network folder-sharing make this a cheap alternative to a NAS, and it worked perfectly with an 8GB flash drive, although it was unable to provide sufficient power to run our USB hard disk.
We rarely review 802.11g routers now that Draft-N devices are so inexpensive, but we were disappointed by the NET-3G-3GWIFIMRW's range. It managed just 11.7Mbit/s at a distance of one metre, but couldn't provide a reliable signal at 10 metres, despite us trying several different channels. It managed 8.4Mbit/s at five metres, but that was without a wall in the way. The lack of WPA2 encryption is also inexcusable, even if WEP and WPA are supported.
Considering the whole point of this router is to share a 3G connection, it does a surprisingly poor job. The wireless range is dismal, and you'll have to shell out on a switch to attach more than one computer via a wired connection. If you need a 3G router, Billion's BiPAC 7402NX (What's New, Shopper 253) is a better choice. It costs £112, but has far better wireless range, a four-port switch and it's faster.

We all need to create different ads and we encourage you to follow the above advice. But just to give you an example of my favorite way of approaching this life enhancing concept is to illustrate the "Result of the Result".
People only think they want MONEY, but what they really want is what their MONEY can do for them.
And that's what I believe most effectively conveys the message to those in need.
For example you can say something like this:
Wouldn't it be great, if you could…
….sleep in every morning?
…. join your friends on that expensive cruise you thought you couldn't afford?
……spend a lot more Quality Time with your Spouse?
……start your day with a nice swim in your own pool?
But again, I'm just sharing with you my ideas and want to reiterate the fact that we all need to be different in our approach for maximum effect!
Here is a link for a selection of Ad Copy on the Official Achieve Community Blog:
Ads with images are a lot more effective than text ads. Thankfully the Achieve Community provides us with an endless supply of amazing images you can use.
To find Amazing Images you can post go here.
To save an image from this Blog right click on the image and hit "Save image as" and save the image in a location where you can easily find it. (for example on your desktop)
Now you have everything you need to post your Incredible Achieve Community Ads.
Here is how to format the email you will send out to post to several groups at once.
(We usually send an email to 15 groups at a time)
Compose a new email in your regular email program.
In the "TO" field of the email paste 15 Facebook Group email addresses separated by commas.
In the "SUBJECT LINE" paste the text of your ad
In the "BODY" of the email paste something like this:
Join our Facebook Group to see what other Achievers are saying about the Achieve Community.
#theachievecommunity #readytoachieve
The IMAGE can be embedded in the email body or you can simply attach it to the email.
We tried this method using our Yahoo and AOL account and it worked with both of them.
Most of the Facebook Groups we compiled have thousands of members. So you can imagine, that there are a lot of people posting ads at any given time. This will cause your ads to scroll down the list fairly quickly.
The great news is there is a way to bump your ad up to the top simply by commenting on the ad!
Below is a link to step by step instructions on how you can comment on your own and other members ads to help bump them to the top of the message board for even greater exposure and incredible social proof! Imagine, there are a bunch of members posting on your ad and saying they got paid or sharing their excitement…that will be even more effective than the ad itself!
I am doing this for about 15 minutes a day… if everyone does this, the Achieve Community will become a massive force that can dominate the "Make Money Online" Groups on Facebook!
Let's send the Achieve Matrix into a "Faster than a Speeding Bullet" Time Warp for Faster Matrix Exits and to help everyone make their Dreams Come True!!
)) Let's Gooooooooooooooooooo!
We hope this will help you to spread the word so we can all become successful with the Achieve Community!

The Irvine Valley women's volleyball team almost pulled off its best win of the season Friday night.
The Lasers pushed Orange Empire Conference leading Golden West to the brink, but came up a little short in a five-set loss on Dig Pink night at Irvine Valley.
Golden West, ranked sixth in the state, pulled out the win, 25-20, 23-25, 15-25, 25-23, 16-14.
"We were right there and so close," IVC Coach Tom Pestolesi said of knocking off the Rustlers. "It was just a couple of plays here and there. But I'm still really proud of how hard the girls fought. We've been playing really good volleyball for a bout three weeks now. We just have to keep it up."
The Rustlers improved their record to 13-3 overall and 9-0 in conference. Irvine Valley, ranked 13th in the state, slipped to 10-4 overall and 6-3 in conference.
All proceeds from the evening, including admission and raffle drawings went toward the Side-out.org Dig Pink Volleyball Breast Cancer Awareness campaign. Nearly 400 fans showed up to watch a back and forth, action packed match that went down to the wire.
Golden West led from start to finish in the first set.
Irvine Valley jumped out to a big lead in the second set, going up, 6-1, on a kill by freshman opposite Nicole Rosenkilde, an ace by sophomore libero Sarah Mendoza and a combo block by sophomore outside hitter Annie Kim and sophomore middle blocker Emily Mount.
But Golden West caught IVC at 9-9 and the set was tied seven other times the rest of the way. Tied, 18-18, Golden West scored three points in a row on a block by Bethanee Boggs and Klaire Blasco and an ace by Alicia Utke to go up, 21-18.
Irvine Valley looked like it might go down two sets when the Rustlers went ahead, 23-21, on a kill by Golden West's Alyssa Hubbard. But the Lasers came back with a kill by Rosenkilde and then when Golden West hit out the set was tied 23-23. Two more hitting errors by the Rustlers gave the Lasers the set.
Irvine Valley carried that momentum into the third set. The Lasers were down, 5-2, early, but then scored eight points in a row. A block by freshman setter Sofia Furlong and Mount gave IVC a 10-5 advantage.
Irvine Valley was dominant the rest of the set. Ahead, 16-10, the Lasers went on a 6-2 run to put the set away. Sophomore middle blocker Hannah Unruh had two kills and Mount had a kill and a block as part of the run.
IVC won the set, 25-15, after back-to-back Golden West hitting errors. Golden West won a very tight fourth set to get back into the match. The set was tied at 9-9, 10-10, 11-11, 13-13, 14-14, 16-16, 17-17, 18-18, 19-19, 20-20, 21-21 and 23-23.
Golden West held a 23-21 lead, but IVC's Mount fired a kill and then freshman outside hitter Allison Cook tied it at 23 with a kill.
But Golden West earned the set on consecutive kills by Utke.
The fifth set was just as close. Golden West raced out to a 3-0 lead on a block by Ashley Botana only to see Irvine Valley rally and go up, 8-5, on a kill by Cook. IVC took its largest lead of the set at 10-6.
But Golden West ended up scoring 10 of the final 14 points. IVC never had a match point in the final set.
Irvine Valley's last lead in the set came at 12-11 on a bock by Rosenkilde and Unruh. Golden West scored three points in a row to take a 14-12 lead.
A kill by Kim and then a Golden West hitting error pulled IVC even at 14-14. But Golden West pulled out the win on a kill by Utke and then an ace on match point by libero Kat Castillo.
Castillo finished with 30 digs and three aces on the night. And Hubbard and Utke each had 14 kills for the Rustlers.
Irvine Valley was paced by Kim and Cook, who each finished with 16 kills. Unruh had eight kills and five blocks, Mount added seven kills and six blocks, Mendoza ended with 18 digs and Furlong had 50 assists.
IVC plays its next two matches on the road. The Lasers are at Orange Coast on Wednesday at 7 p.m. and then at Fullerton on Friday at 6 p.m. OCC is ranked ninth in the state and Fullerton is No. 12.

Australia team for first Test
Moises Henriques has been given free rein to bat in his natural aggressive style when he becomes Australia's 432nd Test cricketer on Friday in Chennai. Henriques won the battle for the allrounder's position for the first Test against India, beating offspinner Glenn Maxwell for the role after impressive performances with both bat and ball during Australia's two warm-up games over the past eight days.
Australia on Wednesday confirmed their XI and whereas India are expected to play as many as three slow bowlers, Australia included only one specialist spinner, Nathan Lyon, alongside a four-man pace group made up of Peter Siddle, Mitchell Starc, James Pattinson and Henriques. Maxwell will be the 12th man while Xavier Doherty, Mitchell Johnson, Jackson Bird, Usman Khawaja and Steven Smith were also overlooked.
Australia's selectors are hoping Henriques can have the same effect on the dry pitch at the MA Chidambaram Stadium that he did at the Guru Nanak Ground for the tour matches, where he found reverse swing and hit the right lengths better than any of his fellow pace bowlers. Henriques, 26, collected 4 for 12 in the first game, including two of the top four batsmen.
Against India A in the second outing he took 1 for 30 and scored 33 from 41 balls including three sixes, an innings that followed the aggressive approach the Australians intend to use against India's spinners. His efforts impressed the coach Mickey Arthur, who told Henriques of his impending baggy green on Tuesday night, with a message to keep up his attacking method.
"I'm a fairly aggressive batsman by nature and Mickey just said if you want to do something out there in the middle just back your strengths," Henriques said. "If you want to do it, go for it and you won't be told you've done the wrong thing back here in the sheds, as long as it's your strengths. Play to what you're good at. If it doesn't come off, it doesn't come off, but we want you playing fearless cricket rather than going out and playing the way you haven't played before.
"It's a good boost of confidence to know you can go out there with your own twist on things. You don't want to be bogged down for too long against these spinners with those attacking fields, it's almost an accident waiting to happen. At some stage you do have to try to put the pressure back on the opposition bowlers. I felt like the night before [against India A] they built that pressure up. I think I faced something like 15 dots without scoring. I thought I would try to make a bit of an impression first thing in the morning."
It's not the first time this summer Henriques has made an impression. Six years after he made his first-class debut as a teenager who had starred as Australia's captain at the Under-19 World Cup, Henriques finally scored his maiden first-class century, an unbeaten 161 against Tasmania in Sydney in September. By the time he was called into the Test squad for this tour, Henriques had managed 385 runs at an average of 77 and 14 wickets at the average of 18 this Shield season.
It was a case of perfect timing, for Shane Watson's decision to avoid bowling on this tour in an effort to prevent further injuries left the Australians in need of an allrounder to balance the side. Andrew McDonald might have been the first picked had he not been sidelined by a serious hamstring injury, and Mitchell Marsh was also out injured at the time, although he came back strongly with a Ryobi Cup hundred this week.
That meant Henriques was the man, and he will have Watson to turn to for advice in the lead-up to his first Test. Like Watson, Henriques has suffered numerous injury setbacks over the course of his career - he tore his side twice last season, had both groin muscles operated on the previous summer, and has also suffered hamstring troubles - but this season he has stayed fit.
|Shane Watson is someone who has gone through some similar sort of injury woes early on in his career, in similar parts of the body. He has had some hamstring problems as I did, and a lot of similar injuries as well. And we're both a similar sort of weight and size. Someone like that is someone who, I wouldn't say I've modelled myself on, but I have looked up to in terms of rehabilitation, preparation and recovery. Moises Henriques
"There's been a lot of injuries and in amongst those injuries there has been some inconsistent form as well," Henriques said. "The one thing you lose first is your match touch and some little one per cent things when you don't play consistently. Being able to stay on the park for the last six months has really helped my performances and helped some consistency come into my game.
"Shane Watson is someone who has gone through some similar sort of injury woes early on in his career, in similar parts of the body. He has had some hamstring problems as I did, and a lot of similar injuries as well. And we're both a similar sort of weight and size. Someone like that is someone who, I wouldn't say I've modelled myself on, but I have looked up to in terms of rehabilitation, preparation and recovery."
Watson, who will bat at No.4 in Chennai, said he was happy to mentor Henriques, his New South Wales team-mate. Watson said he had been impressed by the length Henriques targeted in the tour matches, and said he could play a big part with the ball throughout the series.
"I can certainly help him in a number of different ways," Watson said. "I can see an amazing amount of similarities between how Mo plays the game and how his career has evolved over the last six or seven years as well. The way he bowls is quite similar to the way I bowl. His length throughout the first tour games was outstanding. He looked as good as any bowler we had, because he knew the length to bowl.
"His batting has improved a massive amount and he's had quite a bit of success this summer. Playing in the last tour match, he certainly has the techinque and game to have success over here. It's really exciting. It's great to see a younger guy coming through who has similar traits to how I play and I'm going to help out in any way I can."
Henriques will have to use his team-mates as his support network in preparation for his debut, for his late inclusion meant it was too late for his family to fly over to watch him play. His parents Alvaro and Anabela, both from Portugal, moved to Australia when Portuguese-born Moises was one and a half, and he said his father had embraced the sport.
"My dad is all of a sudden a professional on cricket," he said. "Mum just likes it because I like it. But Dad is always trying to give me advice."

Hooper v. Blaisdell
Filing 35
ORDER granting as outlined 34 Motion for Reconsideration Re: 33 Order. Hooper is proceeding pro se and will continue to proceed pro se - appointment of counsel was terminated and the court will not revisit that issue. Warden's notice of intent to reply due 3 days after filing date of this order; Hooper may file for surreply as indicated. So Ordered by Judge Joseph A. DiClerico, Jr. (dae)
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE DISTRICT OF NEW HAMPSHIRE Oliver Hooper v. Warden, Northern New Hampshire Correctional Facility ORDER Because of the difficulties Oliver Hooper experienced with representation in this case, in which he seeks relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254, his response to the Warden's motion for summary judgment has been delayed repeatedly. On October 30, 2009, On January 20, 2010, Civil No. 08-cv-426-JD counsel was appointed to represent Hooper. Hooper filed a motion to terminate representation by his appointed counsel and asked to be permitted to proceed pro se. The court granted Hooper's motion on January 26, 2010, and terminated representation by appointed counsel. The court also established deadlines for Hooper to notify the court as to whether he would rely on the response to summary judgment filed by his appointed counsel or make other filings on his own behalf. Within the time allowed for his response, Hooper filed a motion asking to withdraw his previously-granted motion to terminate representation by his appointed counsel or to reconsider the order terminating the representation of his appointed counsel. Hooper now contends that he has had the opportunity to review the objection to summary judgment filed on his behalf by appointed counsel and is satisfied with appointed counsel's representation. Based on Hooper's motion, the court will consider the objection to summary judgment filed on Hooper's behalf on January 18, 2010, as Hooper's filing in opposition to the Warden's motion for summary judgment. The representation of appointed counsel has been terminated, however, and the court will not revisit that issue. to proceed pro se, and his request was granted. Hooper is proceeding pro se in this case. Hooper asked Therefore, Conclusion For the foregoing reasons, Hooper's motion for reconsideration (document no. 34) is granted to the extent that the objection to summary judgment (document no. 30), filed on Hooper's behalf by appointed counsel on January 18, 2010, is accepted as his response to the Warden's motion for summary judgment. Because Hooper is proceeding pro se and will continue to proceed pro se, any additional filings in this case are his responsibility. 2 The deadline for the Warden to file a notice of intent to file a reply to the objection to summary judgment (document no. 30) will be three days after the filing date of this order. If the Warden files a reply, Hooper will have ten days from the date the reply is filed to file a motion for leave to file a surreply, which must be accompanied by a copy of his proposed surreply. SO ORDERED. ____________________________ Joseph A. DiClerico, Jr. United States District Judge February 10, 2010 cc: Oliver Hooper, #78519, pro se Elizabeth C. Woodcock, Esquire 3

I'm inside an arena. I'm here with a friend to see a pro wrestling event. We are wandering down strange and angular hallways but we just get more and more lost. We end up in a room where people are buying guns, combat knives, and weird military apparel. We look intently at the merchandise. We marvel at strange alien camouflage where the patterns of colors are moving, as if they are sentient. At some point we learn that we are on the second floor of this structure. We have access to the second and third floors of this arena but the first floor is oddly inaccessible. It is impossible to exit. We want to leave but we are unable to. At some point I become separated from my friend and I am wandering down weird and angular hallways by myself. The ceilings are incredibly high. This is visually similar to The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari but more expansive and alien. I enter and exit strange looking doors. I walk down a very long hallway that is like a cold and sterile version of the Versailles Hall of Mirrors. At some point I enter an ancient cathedral. It is very dark and everything is covered in dust. I feel alone and this is when I start to get really lucid. As I step into this weird cathedral I am blasted by an enormous gust of wind. This is really extreme hurricane-style wind. I feel my hair getting blown by the wind and large gusts of air are entering my mouth. This is unimaginably vivid and my perception of this event is so intense, so strong that it felt as real as any gust of air I have ever felt. Huge concentrated currents of air enter my mouth and then I open my eyes.

excerpt from an interview in The Price of Experience, Black Widow Press 2012
Clayton Eshleman: In The Time of Voice, one poem is titled "Every Language is a Second Language." Does one write poetry to break out of second language into first language? Is the language shamans tell us they hear, and converse with animals in, a first language?
Robert Kelly: No, shaman talk and beast talk are second languages too. First language is what happens to our skin and eyes and mind in the world, the hurt of happen. The touch of hand. The wind. We can name all those things later, but when they happen, they are first language talking to us, and we speak that language by moving, touching, tasting. I mean the movement from perception into language is far greater in its abstraction, its terror, than the movement from English to Japanese or Tibetan. My title, its idea, is to keep people firmly aware of how remote all language is from the healing joyous horror of primary sensation.

Open your eyes to what I now reveal,
and you will see your thoughts and my words join
as one truth at the center of the round.
All that which dies and all that cannot die
reflect the radiance of that Idea
which God the Father through His love begets:
that Living Light, which from its radiant Source
streams forth Its light but never parts from It
nor from the Love which tri-unites with them,
of Its own grace sends down its rays, as if
reflected, through the nine subsistencies,
remaining sempiternally Itself.
Then it descends to the last potencies,
from act to act, becoming so diminished,
it brings forth only brief contingencies;
and by this term I mean things generated,
things which the moving heavens produce from seed
or not from seed. The wax of things like these
is more or less receptive, and the power
that shapes it, more or less effective––stamped
with the idea, it shines accordingly.
So trees of the same species may produce
dissimilar fruit, some better and some worse;
so men are born with diverse natural gifts.
And if the wax were perfectly disposed,
and if the heavens were at their highest power,
the brilliance of the seal would shine forth full;
but Nature can never transmit this light
in its full force––much like the artisan
who knows his craft but has a trembling hand.
But if the Fervent Love moves the Clear Vision
of the First Power and makes of that its seal,
the thing it stamps is perfect in all ways.
Dante, Paradise Canto XIII (Mark Musa translation)

Bears' revamped defensive line looking good so far

BOURBONNAIS — Defensive tackle Jeremiah Ratliff is looking forward to having defensive end Jared Allen next to him Thursday after Allen took the Bears' preseason opener off Friday following the birth of his second daughter.
''Yeah, it'll be good to have him out there; he kind of [hung] me out to dry last week,'' Ratliff said with a laugh. ''No, I understand the situation. Congrats to him and his
family. It'll be good to have him back out there.''
As for Allen, he practiced for the second consecutive day Monday. Afterward, he was asked about teammate Willie Young's interception at the line of scrimmage
during practice.
''That's how you turn being blocked into a good play,'' Allen said. ''Good for Willie.''
In case it doesn't show, the Bears' defensive line is feeling pretty good about itself already, a pretty good sign for a group that was pieced
together during the offseason. Ratliff never has played with Allen. Allen never has played with Young. But they're quickly getting comfortable with each other.
That cohesion, comfort and teamwork can be as important for a defensive line as it is for an offen-
sive line, but usually only if you have a lot of talent. You can build a quality offensive line without a Pro Bowl player if everybody works together. On defense, though, that kind of camaraderie generally
requires a lot more firepower.
And the Bears think they have it. Allen is a five-time Pro Bowl end with 1281/2 sacks. Ratliff is a four-time Pro Bowl tackle who is healthy again and hoping to regain his form after missing most of the last two seasons with a groin injury. If
Allen and Ratliff are good, the Bears think they have quality players who can produce in a complementary role — tackles Stephen Paea, Nate Collins, Will Sutton and Ego Ferguson and ends Young, Trevor Scott, Austin Lane and
David Bass among them.
At 32, Ratliff is three seasons
removed from his last Pro Bowl and a huge X-factor. The signs are positive: Ratliff was solid in a five-game stint at the end of last season and has been impressive in the early going this season.
''I feel healthier; that's a huge part of it,'' Ratliff said. ''Last year I came in late and had to learn on the fly and get back in rhythm. My first time in pads was in a game. Now I feel a lot more comfortable. I feel like I have my legs up under me. I feel better about this year.''
After a contentious departure from the Dallas Cowboys, Ratliff said he is motivated to be the Pro Bowl player he once was.
''That's definitely a goal of mine, absolutely,'' he said. ''After sitting out for [almost] two years, it's time to get back in it.''
With Allen, Ratliff and Lamarr Houston, the competition upgrade general manager Phil Emery was looking for appears to be playing out.
''It's very, very competitive,'' Ratliff said. ''With the talent we have, you don't want to be the last guy, the weakest link. That mentality is going to help everyone play at a high level.''
Again, the early signs have been positive.
''Guys really understand where a certain guy is going to be,''
Allen said. ''It just takes reps, but it's huge. You can see that camaraderie [on] most of the team. I think we're well [ahead] of where we need to be.''

Film Maker Shannon Kohli
Bathroom stalls talk, but do we listen? "Help me." Do we laugh? "The engineer next door turns me on…"Do we respond? "I throw up my food." What if these voices were given a body? Given a life, given a chance? Stalled is a short film that exposes thoughts, feelings and struggles through shocking graffiti found in women's bathrooms.
Stalled is a very unique piece. The whole film takes place in a public bathroom, and one actress plays all the characters. Based on found material, this film depicts anonymous secrets, shared from one woman to another through the walls of a washroom stall. People are braver when their identity is protected, so the honesty discovered on walls across the continent is both heart felt and terrifying.
The audience is taken on this journey by the fictional character of a janitor. As she cleans, she notices graffiti. Some quotes come off, some do not. Some are trivial. Some are not. Then as she enters each stall, she becomes the woman behind the door. The woman with a story to tell. Five stalls. Five stories. All real.
