What's The EON Visual Media Stadium Like? | |
One of the smaller in
the League and one of the least developed. The one
side is a strange looking affair. Mostly comprised
of flat standing areas for spectators,
it is dominated by the club house and changing
rooms block behind. A small cover has been erected
over the front of the changing rooms exit in line
with the half way line, which has on the front of it
in large green lettering 'North Ferriby United'.
Some unusual looking team dug outs are situated in
front of it. Opposite is a small covered stand that
runs the full length of the pitch. This has a block
of seating in the middle, with terrace to either
side. It has a fair number of supporting pillars
running across the front of it. Both ends are small
open standing areas. The nearby church is quite
visible beyond one corner of the ground, whilst a
number of houses overlook the one end. |
House Side |
Where To Drink? | |
There is
a Sports Bar inside the ground that welcomes away
fans. It also has BT and Sky Sports television.
Otherwise about a ten minute walk way on the High
Street is the Duke Of Cumberland pub. |
How To Get There And Where To Park | |
the Eastbound M62. At the end of the M62 continue onto
the A63 towards Hull. Stay on the A63
for seven miles until you reach the junction with
the B1231 (signposted North Ferriby and Melton
Industrial Area). Leave the A63 and at the end the
long slip road you will reach a roundabout where you
take the third exit. This takes you back over the
A63 and at the next roundabout take the first exit
towards Swanland and North Ferriby (B1231). After
about a mile you will reach a crossroads (where
there is a white sign post on the left and a
Remembrance stone cross on the right). Turn right
here into Church Road (signposted Station/Riverside
Walkway). After passing the Church on the left,
Grange Lane and the ground entrance are just a
little further down on the left. If you go under a
railway bridge then you have gone too far. There is a car park at the ground which is free, otherwise street parking. Map showing the location of EON Visual Media Stadium (at the bottom of this page). |

Thanks to Geoff Jackson for providing the photos for this page. |
By Train | |
The nearest Railway Station is Ferriby
which is only a five minute walk away from the
ground. It is served
primarily by trains from Hull which is a 16 minute
train ride away and Doncaster. Remember if travelling
by train then you can save on the cost of fares by booking in
advance. Visit the the trainline website

For more than a decade Team Red Lizard (TRL), a local Portland Running club, has enthusiastically performed the pacing duties for the Portland Marathon. This year, we're trying to accommodate as many runners as possible, from the runner aiming for their first trip to Boston to the first time marathon runner hungry to reach the finish line. We are offering 15 pace groups: 3:00, 3:05, 3:10, 3:15, 3:25, 3:30, 3:35, 3:40, 3:45, 3:55, 4:00, 4:10, 4:25, 4:40 and 5:00.
The Team Red Lizard pacers are a friendly bunch with a lot of running experience. Many of our pacers are marathoners or have paced at Portland before. Feel free to pepper them with questions and engage in friendly conversation. The pacers are eager to make you feel welcome and will enjoy your company-their goals for the day are to help you reach your goals! Please stop by the information booth at the Portland Marathon Expo to meet some of the pacers from Team Red Lizard.
Here is what one runner had to say after the pace setters:
Portland Marathon staff, Thank you so much for putting on another wonderful event. I truly had one of the best races ever. I was hoping you'd pass on a thank you to the Red Lizard (4 hour) pace team. They helped me achieve a PR by 10 minutes and pulled me along with their 4:00 yellow bibs on their backs. Please pass along a huge thank you!
TRL eagerly looks forward to the pacing challenges and triumphs that await us in the years to come.

Help! I want to eat something enticing and I have no idea if it will kill me!
We have a smallish palm tree in our back yard, about 12 ft, with the kind of fronds that start low and grow all the way up, not hte kind with the long tall bare stem. It has made large clusters of yellow fruit that smells like apricots and apples and looks delicious. I just caught on that it might be edible. Most of it is on the ground now, but before I let the rest go to waste I want to know- does anybody have any idea about whether this is edible? I looked online and to me it looks a bit like a Brazilian jelly palm. Is anyone else growing a palm tree in Georgia (Atlanta area) that they eat from? |
Follow-Up Postings:
You probably have a Pindo Palm (Butia capitata), which has big marble sized orange fruit. Pindo Palm fruit is indeed edible - also known as Jelly Palm since the fruit is sometimes used for that purpose. Yours would be the first fruiting Pindo Palm I've heard of in Atlanta. In fact I have never seen a mature, established, fruiting Pindo Palm in the northern half of Georgia. Enjoy while it lasts. |
- Posted by cyrus_gardner (My Page) on Tue, Sep 22, 09 at 23:24
Go ahead and Google search "pindo palm fruit" and see that is what you've got as David suggested. Check the images too. Ther is a lot of info on it. |
I think that might be what I've got. Just can't quite tell. Those fruits sure smelled good, though. I think next year I'll risk it and eat one adn see what happens. |

You have clutter everywhere. The closets are overflowing with clothes. There is no room for the stack of old magazines in the magazine rack. You have enough video games stacked on the floor to open your own rental store and you know you have a pet cat somewhere but you haven't seen Fluffy in weeks because of the massive amount of stuff in the house.
The clutter has moved in like an unwelcome tenant getting free room and board. You would like to evict the stuff completely out of your life. Yet it somehow finds a way to make itself useful at the last minute as you get second thoughts about taking it out to the curb. Well, the time has come to put your foot down and get the clutter out of your life before it bogs you down.
Step 1: Decide What Each Room Is in Your Home
Perhaps the reason so many people fail at decluttering their home is because the moment they throw stuff out, they go out and buy new things to replace the missing items. To solve this problem, sit down and decide what each purpose and theme a room has. It is easy to figure out the purpose of common rooms such as the kitchen and dining room. Yet what about that spare room that might have once been an office space but is not the kids' play room as well as your wife's craft room? By figuring out the purpose of each room, it allows you to figure out what you need in the room to fulfill that purpose and what stuff can be removed.
Step 2: Decide What Items Are Essential
It's tough to figure out what is clutter and what stuff you really need. One way to do this is to use the 2-year rule. If you haven't used or worn the item in the past two years, it is a good chance you don't need it in your home. Another method to use is the numbers game. Do you really need 5 pairs of scissors when only 2 pairs will be fine? These methods will allow you to get rid of excess and unused clutter.
Step 3: Recycle Items By Donating Them
It is hard to give up some things. While other people may call it junk, you understand that the items are still useful. A way to help declutter the home is to give to others to enhance their lives. First, let close friends and family members go through the clutter and take things they need. Then you know that many important items are with those people you care about. Next, hold a garage/yard sale. For the last of the items, donate them to your local church or Goodwill store.
Step 4: Get Organized
Keeping your home clutter free only works if you have the space to place the items. So invest in bookshelves, bookcases and plastic organizers so the items you do decide to keep have a safe place to be stowed in.
Step 5: Keep A Clear Head When Renting Storage Space
Renting storage allows you to clear out your home of items you want to keep. Yet don't just transfer all the clutter into the rental storage space because you can't bear the thought of getting rid of the items. Just like the things in your home, decide what is necessary before putting it into storage. Apply the same rules as above in regards to when the last time was that you used the item. If you don't see yourself using the stuff in the near future, simply get rid of it.

The Don Group Ltd. (DON) catapulted the most in almost 11 years after saying it sold three of its nine hotels for 77.5 million rand ($9.3 million) as it exits the travel and leisure industry.
The stock surged as much as 70 percent, the biggest leap since August 2001, to 17 cents and traded at 15 cents by 12:25 p.m. Johannesburg, increasing the company's market value to 44.2 million rand. More than 1.4 million shares changed hands, almost 35 times the three-month daily average.
Overcapacity in the market after more hotels were built ahead of the 2010 Soccer World Cup in South Africa made it difficult for smaller groups to make a profit, Anthony Clark, an analyst at Vunani Securities, said by phone from Cape Town.
"The hotel market has changed," Clark said. "The only way to make money as a shareholder is to force Don to break up, which is exactly what it is doing."
Proceeds from the sales will be used to reduce interest- bearing long-term debt, the group said in a statement late yesterday. Its remaining six hotels will also be sold as it moves away from owning and operating hotels.
"The company is a liquidation plan on the asset value," Clark said.

To me, that whole area, even on the street side of the sidewalk, is sort of your "foundation" planting. And, you've already done a great job with mixing things. To me, the area you're talking about is sort of "lost" among all of the other great things. If it were me (and I'm sure others will have even better suggestions!), I'd like to see some color to really draw your eye to the door(s). (Is that a second door to the left also?) Since you like the ferns and the creeping jenny, why not pull them up into large containers that would show them off even more? Maybe, if the containers are large enough, you could tuck in some begonias for a little extra "pop." Then, you'd have room down below them for something extra...maybe dwarf gardenia? I find that it takes more sun than a regular gardenia (others here may have had a different experience with it), and would crawl around your containers beautifully. I don't find that it grows too fast, so it won't take over and would be a nice bed for your containers. |
I agree with mk87 that you've done a wonderful job with your front yard, altogether; it's beautiful! I also agree that the bed in question would be gorgeous with some color. Annuals of course pack a big punch with color, but then you have to replace them every year. I am an impatien-holic! Every year I say I won't plant as many as the year before, but then they seem to "call" to me and I give in. Last year I mixed red impatiens and deep purple verbena in a bed around my mailbox and it worked very well. I also like white impatiens, but they seem to be hard to find lately and with your yellow house, something that would create a bit more contrast than white would be eye-catching. Re-blooming dwarf daylilies come in an array of colors from yellow, to peach, to reds, and much more. They tend to lend a bit of color throughout the summer, although sometimes during the summer they don't bloom as prolifically as others. Issue #77 of the Garden Gate Magazine has a gorgeous entry-way garden pictured. In it they have Lobelia in front, Japanese forest grass (I haven't been able to find that, but love it!), Wax begonia between the Japanese forest grass, and behind it, Scoth heather and Coral bells, Hosta, Spirea, and some Asiatic Lilies. I wish I could give you a link to that particular volume, but I can't find it! In this same issue, another bed is pictured in the back and it has Creeping Jenny, Fernleaf Bleeding Heart, Bleeding Heart, Jacob's ladder, Deadnettle, Coral bells, Astilbe, Hosta...just to give you an idea of what other perennials might be good in that area. Sorry I couldn't be of more help, but I am sure you'll get advice from the more experienced and knowledgable gardeners. Good Luck! |
bevinga -- Daylilies! Great idea. Should've thought of that one myself! :) bocron -- bevinga is right...daylilies would be a great addition to that bed, no matter what other things you add. And, I think the lower-growing varieties would be best. You could do what I suggested earlier and add the daylilies as accents, or try one of her suggestions from Garden Gate. (They usually have it at Barnes and Noble, Lowes and sometimes Kroger; if you are looking for the actual issue.) The only thing I would hesitate to plant is the Jacob's Ladder. I love that stuff, but it wilts and crumbles just as soon as it's good and warm. (ie: now...I just had two in containers to succumb to the heat) It doesn't even have to be sunny where I plant them to make them wilt. Just the warmth will do it. Some people have probably had better luck with it than I have, but it looks like your bed might get too warm for it. Maybe in your zone it would last longer than in mine though. ??? |
Oh great...I just planted two Jacob's Ladder plants about three weeks ago. They are in full shade, so I'm hoping they will at least be grateful for that. I've never had Jacob's Ladder...thank you for the information on the heat; I'll have to keep a close watch on them. I'm afraid we're in for another scorcher this year...Of course, every year's a scorcher in the South! Beverly |
bev -- I hope yours do well! Since you are in NW Ga, you may be a LOT better off. I love Jacob's Ladder, but I think this is my final year to try it. It's too bad though, you just about can't beat that gorgeous foliage! |
I would add color by putting two hydrangeas on the outside of the windows and dwarf gardenias in between. You can prune the hydrangeas to keep them from getting too big and the blue color would set off the yellow of your house. I like the creeping jenny (I have a lot of it too) but would add some other flowering plant in the front. If it doesn't get too much sun impatiens would work, or if it's sunny, wave petunias. And I know you didn't ask, but that triangle spot at the meeting of the two walks (looks like you have a juniper or some kind of evergreen there) I would put a knockout rose for color. |
Thank You, mk87...with the rain we've received this past week, my Jacob's Ladder looks wonderful! I hope that somehow it becomes more established before the heat and dryness affects it. Beverly |
I like the hydrangea suggestion maybe in front of the area with the railing (it's hard to tell what is there now) and the colors of the folliage of the coral bell, I like the purple one, but the others (like creme brullea (spelling) would be nice too. I have also seen some great color variation with some veggies like swiss chard added into flower beds. Bonus that you can eat them :) but the folliage is quite nice. What about a water feature? or a bird bath? centered below the 2 windows? I think a small white wrought iron decorative cafe type table and chairs would look good there too, maybe more for looks than function? or window boxes for the color everyone is talking about? and the ferns in taller urns? |
mk87...I just heard about the damage in Macon and surrounding areas. I'm glad you and your family are well, but am sorry for all the damage with which that area is dealing. We moved here from the Columbus/Phenix City area. I haven't heard how everything was there the other night. I'm hoping everything's fine. Blessings, |
Bev -- Thank you. We are definitely blessed; however, it is hard to see not only so much structural damage right here at a time when the dollar is down and gas is up, but also when the mortgage situation is already so pathetic. I have been wondering how many / if any (but I'm sure there are) folks who were about to lose their mortgage anyway, have now lost the house to storm damage. Or, who were able to work out their mortgage only to lose the house to storm damage. I'm sure there will be some media stories about that connection soon. On a lighter note, I find it interesting how so many of the young / new trees in the area just held up beautifully through the storm while large / strong ones split like toothpicks. I guess just like people, the older a tree gets, the less flexible it becomes. Still interesting though. I FULLY expected to look out on Sunday morning and see zero new crape myrtles. But, they just sort of waved at me in the wind and shook their leaves like a dog just out of a bath. :) |
Bev -- Oh yeah, P.S., my Jacob's Ladder's bit the proverbial dust over the weekend. Sigh... :( I knew better...or should have. |
The big shrubby thing by the other porch is a hydrangea and the lower plant is a daphne. I didn't get around to pruning the hydrangea last year so that is why there are still dead blossoms on it. I'm thinking I'll pull up the lower ferns and move them to another bed and leave the two tall japanese ferns, possibly moving one. The reason it looks off balance is that there used to be another daphne on next to the brick steps to match the one on the other end but it was murdered (I was very bummed). I have an old joggling bench I may put out there for the summer and then do my new plantings in the fall. Annette |

Annette, No comment on the arrangement. Just wanted to say beautiful home! Thought my mentor, esh_ga, would give his opinion, too. Shot |

I have a thing for purple and yellow. I don't know why but to me that color combo is so welcoming. |
sarah27 -- Y'know, I never liked it until recently. I just never was a big fan of purple, until this spring when I put out some butterfly blue pincushion flower and fell completely in love. Now, I've changed my planned color scheme from red, yellow, orange and blue; to yellow, orange, purple and white. I can't get enough of it. |

5 And when Esau's eyes were raised up, he saw the women, and the little children of them, and said, What will these (mean) to themselves? and whether they pertain to thee? (And when Esau raised up his eyes, he saw the women, and their little children, and he said, Who be these? do they pertain to thee?) Jacob answered, They be the little children, which God hath given to me, thy servant. | 5 Then Esau looked up and saw the women and children. "Who are these with you?" he asked. Jacob answered, "They are the children God has graciously given your servant." |

from what i understand fibromyalgia is affected by your mood but obviously not entirely. depression is a huge part of the issue. doing rewarding activities helps the symptoms. with any neurological problem stress can exacerbate the issues. it is mainly a diagnosis that doctors still know very little about in the great scheme of things. i find that many times the diagnosis is given to the people with mystery chronic pain, but the criteria is becoming more specific. there is definitely a reason why anti-depressants are apart of the treatment for many with this disorder. going to work can be a stressful thing, and for a person who may have serious social anxiety, that could really throw their body into a tail spin.

What does vacationing and camping have to do with being disabled? Just because you're disabled doesn't mean you cannot enjoy life. What a moronic thing to say. I can no longer work, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy activities when I have someone there to assist me, drive, etc. Too bad there's not a cure for inherent stupidity.

Maybe all of you folks who think you know everything about other people's illnesses should also get educated. These illnesses are real and the people who suffer them are real. The above lady passed away yesterday, April 19, 2011.

Mr. Dooley, I am a narcoleptic. Fortunately -- just as there is treatment for narcolepsy, cataplexy, and fibromyalgia -- there is also treatment for ignorance. I hope you will choose to educate yourself.

...another one of the new excuses for not being able to work is this "electromagnet sensitivity". LOL. What will they think of next?
- April 17, 2011 - 14:12
Listen, I worked with a lady who had fibromyalgia too. She could do everything but WORK! This included vacationing in the sunny south several times a year, camping, and sailing. She just couldn't get out of bed to go to work - took the good right out of her!

Apart from the Roman colosseum, the sights of El Jem are still covered by sand. And the city of El Jem is a sleepy place without much character. But the colosseum is great, almost as big as the one of Rome, and in better condition. It is 148 metres long by 122 metres wide, with tiers up to 35 metres. There is nothing missing which takes away its grandeur. One area of the walls is gone, and this was done in 1695 when a big hole was shot in the wall of the colosseum, in order to uncover the hiding places of dissidents against the Ottomans.
The colosseum
The colosseum was constructed between 230 and 238 CE by the command of the Imperial official Gordian. It' believed to have given room for as much as 30,000 spectators, some estimates set it at 45,000. This in the town of Thysdrus with only 30,000 inhabitants. But was a wealthy town, probably eager to impress its visitors.
The building process is even more impressive considering that the stones were quarried 30 km away at Salakta. In 238 Gordian committed suicide after an unsuccessful rebellion against Rome, where he had claimed to be emperor. With this, the construction of the amphitheatre ended. It was never completely finished, but was of course used.
Around El Jem there are more to be found, not by today's tourists, but by the archaeologists of the future. Another, but smaller amphitheatre, can be seen around a kilometre away. And aerial photos indicate another and bigger one close to El Jem.
Inside the amphitheatre
Large arch
The arena is 65 metres long and 39 metres wide, large enough to host more than one show at a time. Note inside the amphitheatre that the decorations are rather crude. This was because the stone used was too soft for fine sculpture. The upper part of the tiers were used as a sort of VIP tribune, where roofed rooms allowed hiding from the hot sun.
Inside the colonnades
Inside the colonnades
Walking the colonnade of the amphitheatre is really impressive, and you will see more travellers than yourself leaning their heads backwards while walking around it all. Much of it cannot have served any practical purpose, and the construction was clearly intended to impress its visitors.
Walking around
Wallking down
From outside
From inside
Underneath the arena run two passageways. This was the place where animals, prisoners and gladiators were kept, just until the moment when they were brought up into the bright daylight to perform what was in most cases the last show of their lives.
The keep
The tunnel out
Tiny tourists
Looking onto the streets below
Walking the top
Good connections in either Sousse, Kairouan, or Sfax directions. Choose between shared taxis (faster) and buses (cheaper).
If you want the amphitheater all to yourself, arrive before 8.00 o'clock in the morning, before the big tour buses start to arrive.

Signs & Symptoms
Signs which impede functioning differ for children with Autistic Disorder and those with Asperger's Disorder.
Autistic Disorder
- Language - delay in spoken language, do not attempt to use non-verbal communication, do not initiate conversations, stereotyped and repetitive or idiosyncratic language, parrot or repeat phrases, lack of spontaneous imaginative play.
- Social interaction - do not use nonverbal methods such as eye gaze, facial expression, body posture or gestures to interact, do not develop age-appropriate peer relationships, do not seek to share enjoyment or experiences with others, lack of social or emotional reciprocity.
- Preoccupation with stereotyped and restricted patterns of behavior, inflexible adherence to specific nonfunctional routines or rituals.
- Stereotyped mannerisms such as hand or finger flapping, persistent preoccupation with parts of objects.
Asperger's Disorder
Although people with AS are of average or high intelligence, with no significant language problems, they have a qualitative impairment in social interaction. They may have difficulty in using and interpreting non-verbal behaviors, such as facial expressions and body language, as well as verbal conventions, such as conversational turn-taking, all of which help us understand the nuances of social interaction. People with AS usually have some pattern of restricted, repetitive and stereotyped behaviors, interests, and activities.

Abolishing Coca Leaf Consumption?
According to Pien Metaal, researcher specialising in coca issues at the Transnational Institute:
"The Board is displaying both arrogance and blindness by demanding that countries impose criminal sanctions on distribution and possession for traditional uses of the coca leaf, which is a key feature of Andean-Amazon indigenous cultures. Isn't it time for this UN treaty body to get in touch with reality and show some more cultural sensitivity?"
Coca chewing and drinking of coca tea is carried out daily by millions of people in the Andes as well as considered sacred within indigenous cultures. The INCB's statement therefore clearly puts it at odds with the UN Declaration on Indigenous Rights approved last year, which promises to uphold and protect indigenous cultural practices.[2] It also contradicts the 1988 convention which recognized traditional uses[3] as well as statements within the current 2007 INCB report which talk about "respect for national sovereignty, for the various constitutional and other fundamental principles of domestic law – practice, judgments and procedures –and for the rich diversity of peoples, cultures, customs and values."[4]
TNI also condemns the demand within the INCB report that countries should "establish as a criminal offence, when committed intentionally, the possession and purchase of coca leaf for personal consumption",[5] which if it were implemented would mean the prosecution of several million people in the Andean-Amazon region. It targets not just consumers but also peasants who grow coca: "Governments should establish as criminal offences under its domestic law, when committed intentionally, the cultivation of coca bush for the purpose of the production of narcotic drugs contrary to the provisions of the 1961 Convention",[6] reflecting all uses of the coca leaf.
"Given that the Board in the same report talks about proportionality in sentencing, the Board's position makes no sense. It would criminalise entire peoples for a popular tradition and custom that has no harm and is even beneficial," says Pien Metaal.
Earlier reports by the INCB have pointed to the inconsistencies between traditional uses of the coca leaf and the 1961 Single Convention on drugs (which included the coca leaf as "narcotic drug"), but no state has made serious efforts to abolish a habit that has no risk to public health.[7] Moreover, beneficial uses of the plant have growing markets worldwide.
It is understood that the Board was responding to Bolivia's political decision to give the coca leaf a status as a valuable natural resource, reflected in the new proposed Constitutional text and in its national policy that allows a limited number of farmers to grow a small plot of coca for this traditional use.
According to Martin Jelsma, coordinator of the TNI drugs programme:
"The inclusion of the coca leaf in Schedule I of narcotic drugs of the 1961 Convention was based on an ECOSOC study done back in 1950, inspired by colonial and racist sentiments rather than science.[8] It is time the Board asks the Commission on Narcotic Drugs and the World Health Organisation for guidance on this matter instead of casting its own narrow-minded judgement and retreating to the obsolete thinking of the 1961 Convention."

FOR AS LONG AS recording equipment has existed, we've been pointing it at hippos, shoving it down anthills, and dropping it into the sea—to learn more about animal behavior, document changes in ecosystems, or just freak out at the crazy sounds nature makes. Recent strides in digital-audio technology and the availability of smaller and more sensitive microphones have made it possible to probe further down the food chain, where sound plays just as important a role in organizing the lives of species as it does among the birds, bees, coyotes, and rhinoceri. They've also enabled conventional musicians to tap into the compositional potential of the natural world. Presenting 50 years of field recording's greatest hits.

Vinny the Elf - #7
Over the past few weeks, I made a few of these animation videos with my brother, Lenny. If you want to see the other 6, you can see them over at YouTube.

Peroxide Proxy
Lately I've been spending a
little more time than usual trying to convince people I'm not crazy.
You see, I'm a big fan of
"Scriptnotes," which is this podcast where two Hollywood
screenwriters, John August and Craig Mazin, talk about screenwriting and things
surrounding showbiz. The men are both very affable and knowledgeable and
there's just something about it I like.
Back in August 2012, the
guys read a list of movie clichés that are sometimes called "clams," which I
thought was very amusing. And for some reason, I thought it'd be fun to make a
short animation out of it. I thought I would find pictures of John and Craig on
the web, then draw them in different situations, using the soundtrack from the
podcast where they recited the clichés.
I thought it would probably
take about a week. Ha.
I ended up working on it here and there. Like when I was
making dinner, I would put the fish into the broiler, set the microwave timer
for 3:33 minutes, rush to the breakfast nook and draw until the buzzer went
off, go flip the fish, then rush back to finish a detail. Or between emptying
the dishwasher and setting the table for dinner, I would try to finish drawing another
Soon I found myself obsessed with the smallest of details in
the drawings, while my partner, Michael, kept implicitly asking me "why?" with
concerned looks and questions like, "Do you think you could put that down for a
moment and help me put out this fire on the stovetop?"
Still, it was a good question. Why was I doing this? It's
not like I'm pursuing a career in animation or screenwriting or even on
YouTube. And if I were, this would certainly not be the path to it.
I couldn't answer the question. I really just wanted to
finish this animation video and post it.
And I did. And then I sent the link to the podcasters with a
short note. Surprisingly, John August quickly replied with a very lovely email,
basically saying, "Thank-you, crazy person! Please don't write to me again."
Which was both appropriate and awesome and a lot more gracious than I'm making
it sound.
But the best part of his short note was when he very kindly
and humorously pointed out that he was not blond, even though I had drawn him
as one in the video.
What? How did that happen? How in God's name did I get the
idea he was blond?
I remembered when I first started drawing the project that I
could only find one photo of him on the web. I thought, "Even though his hair
does looks dark, his eyebrows look light, so I bet he was a blond in his
youth." And so I drew him as a blond.
Which makes no sense.
Over the passing months, I found a few more pictures of him.
One of the new ones was in profile, which was both great and terrible because I
had imagined his profile wrongly. But now that I had seen what his nose looked
like, I was able to somewhat correct it in the drawings.
It must be pointed out, however, that in none (zero) of
these new photos did his short DARK hair appear to be anything but Not Blond.
Oddly though, that just did not register with me.
Until John brought it up.
So I thought about it. And then it occurred to me. My
partner, Michael is blond. And the nose I'd first drawn onto John's caricature
was Michael's nose.
I then started thinking about the entire project: two guys –
a brunet and a blond, just like me and Michael (well, after a little help from
the bottle), in different situations, saying amusing things, doing fun things,
talking about the things in our lives. That was it!
I was seeing my life with my life partner reflected back to
me in this professional relationship between John and Craig. This also answered
the question of: Why I kept working on this.
So here was John and Craig, expressing their POV of the
world, and here I was saying, Yes, thank you! I agree.
Unfortunately, it still bugged me that I had made this hair
color miscalculation. After all, I wanted the drawings to at least bear a
little resemble to John and Craig. So I spent a few hours darkening John's hair
in the opening and closing scenes, then re-posted the video, which already had
had a whopping 24 views.
But at least I feel better for now. And a little less crazy.
I mean, I may not actually be any less crazy, but at least I feel that way.
And isn't that what the internet is all about after all?

Display of my book in front of drawings by 1st graders |
Look, I admit it. I have not done a ton to promote my children's book, Under The Covers, and-- okay, okay, fine -- I've done next to nothing to promote it.
In my defense, I did tell a few people about it. And my friend, Marinka, put an ad for it on her awesome blog, Motherhood In NYC, but that was mainly out of pity. And when I was at the Palm Springs Public Library last summer, I gave a copy to the children's librarian, who then sneered at me and threw it onto the floor atop a giant heap of books to be thrown out.
My brother, Lenny, is more of a go-getter. He's always sending me suggestions like: E-mail every library in the country! or Do an author's page on GoodReads! or Volunteer to read it at your local grammar schools! and so on and so on...
Ugh. Like I have time for that kind of nonsense with my busy schedule of gym-going, tv-watching, and nap-taking. No thank you.
So recently Lenny started teaching gym at a grammar school in Central California. And one day he emails me, saying, "Send me your book and I'll put it in the school library here!"
And I'm like, "Ugh, that sounds like an exercise in futility," but I do it, mainly to keep him quiet.
But then it turns out that the first grade teacher sees the book and she starts reading it to her kids and they seem to really like it. And I think another teacher reads it to her class and Lenny's principal says something nice about it, but honestly, it's hard for me to read anything about this book, because - and don't get me wrong, I think it's a great book with a great message and fun pictures, but I'm really not much good at the promotion or feedback portion of my projects (file under: Not Helpful To Career).
Then yesterday, Lenny emails me the picture above. He had previously told me about how the teacher was going to have the kids write about the book and draw pictures from it and how they would make a display of it, etc., but somehow that didn't seem to register with me -until I saw the picture of it. And then somehow, BAM! It made me feel really good.
I mean, this is why I wanted to write these kinds of fun books to begin with - to help kids enjoy reading. I feel so much is done to make kids hate reading, and I wanted to do something to make things better, blah, blah, blah... But then the inevitable road blocks spring up, and it all gets so tiresome, so then you stop writing and drawing and caring, and besides, there's all that television to watch and that internet isn't going to read itself, you know.
But then seeing this photo of some little display in the middle of California suddenly made me feel good again. Renewed. Refreshed, even. But only for a moment.
Because then, of course, BAM! it made me feel really bad - for not doing more writing, more drawing, more promoting, more trying, more etc., etc., etc...
So of course, like any good younger brother, I blame my older brother.
So thanks a lot, Lenny.
