A Twitter idiom challenge
After months of silence and embarrassment that I had not blogged or written about anything - actually I had, I just used Twitter and Blogger and whatever else was at hand - a new post.
Actually it is not a new post. It is a copy of my post on my blogger site, which I am now using to draft out the ideas that keep popping in my head.
I have done a lot of writing as well over the past few months, and editing. But, when you are writing a book, no one sees what you have written until you publish it. Which is frustrating sometimes.
Finally, I finished and completed, and published Mitchell Muffin and the Rotten Eggs. (It's on CreateSpace, Amazon and Etsy)
Then I started writing the sequel, and laying out another book. And then rather distractingly, I had yet another idea that I could not afford to lose. So, in between the fact that I have three stories that need illustrating, writing four books and laying out a picture book, I came up with the idea of taking a new angle on idioms for my English students.
D-Dah! The twitter idiom challenge materialised, which no one has bothered to comment on. Consequently, that proves that most people do not care about whether you are a twit or a tweeter or have anything of significance to put into 140 characters.
As for FaceBook, well ... there is the idiom that if you pay peanuts... can $1 buy a bag of peanuts though?
The purpose of my twittery witty (because I think it is) idiom challenge is because, when you learn a language you should have fun. When you enjoy doing something, it becomes easier. Or so the theory goes.
Idioms so far:
April Fool: like a rhubarb fool but with April rather than the tarty rhubarb.
To be at sixes and sevens: just before you've learnt to count up to eight.
Loquacious Diarrhea: when you can't stop writing (or in some other cases talking).
(Not strictly an idiom, but a derivative of verbal diarrhea)
Out of sorts: when you're only left with the nasty brown Liquorice Allsorts
A piece of cake: well, obviously not the whole cake, as everyone knows you can't have your cake and eat it.
Let sleeping dogs lie: because if you wake them up, they'll start barking.
He was a peppery individual: every time I met him, I sneezed.
(His sister was well-seasoned - she always rubbed salt into her wounds.)
Beside oneself: when you meet your clone.
To bend over backwards: what athletes are good at and can do with ease.
Have an axe to grind: what Vikings had after plundering.
There were a lot of axe grinders in the middle ages.
Hold your horses: not that easy if you don't have a horse.
More to follow ...
International Book Giving Day 2014
- Published 14 Feb 2014
Oh and it's Valentine's Day too.
Flowers wilt and fade,
A book creates memories that last,
Chocolates give you spots,
A book gives you words to read,
Cake gives you a belly,
A good book makes your belly shake.
Giving comes straight from the heart, and so does a story, written from the heart.
So, here is my message for Valentine's Day:
Today is full of flowers and hearts,
And everything is painted red,
There's cupid with a bow and darts,
Shooting love at everyone's head.
And then there's this that I impart,
A story written and then read,
A great idea straight from the heart,
A gift of love, a book instead.
Make someone's day - give them a book!
Animals leaping
- Published 03 Jan 2014
Do I write about animals or people?
I have been working on sorting out my writing schedule for 2014. I already have one resolution that is sitting behind my shoulder, nagging me: complete Rotten Eggs (the Mitchell Muffin and the Rotten Eggs story). I have finished the story, which is one milestone, however. The challenge comes in the actual completion of the book. I created chapter introductions and images, I have laid out the book, created a table of contents, and I have sketched the characters. There still remains the tidying up of the images in Photoshop (yawn), a page of Who's Who (I am told the story is quite character rich) and then I have to redraw the map of Crumstead. A southern English town that is crummy by name, and crummy by nature.
There we have it, a project, almost broken down into bite-sized, do-able, achievable tasks. So I am already tucked into my lists rather than resolutions.
The other writing tasks I have on my plate are growing, so I shall need to be organised - is that the secret to success? organisation? or should I just go with the flow?
Which reminds me, I got a jolt about a story I have half-planned out in my head about the Tarsier - I squealed and squeaked as I watched the BBC Earth's Tarsier Tails last night and then started worrying again about the second paradise tree snake that had visited me just before New Year, on the Fifth Day of Christmas.
This morning, just to add some icing on the cake, I heard a rustle in the garden as I was sweeping those Uncle Vernon leaves and out popped a squirrel, and then of course there is my grumpy cat who really needs her own twitter account.
Oh, goodness too many leaping and slithering animals to choose from. Better make a list.
Busy as a bee is not for me
- Published 02 Jan 2014
Could this be a resolution?
I did one of those quick sweeps in at FaceBook this afternoon. A cursory scan across what was going on in my network and a particular slice of time. I am sure that I must miss many life changing events, but I have so much fun fluff in my brain (yes, I used fluff not stuff), that I need to put on paper.
There is absolutely no excuse for not getting on with writing rather than being a Flâneur (what a wonderful French word that is).
Actually, my life probably is that of a Flâneur. After all, I fill my day, almost every day, with whats and nots.
People tell me - 'ooh you are so busy all the time.' and 'how do you have time?'.
And yet, I really don't feel busy like someone in an office. Oh, yes, wait, I am not in an office. I have my own study, I sit at my desk in shorts and sip green tea, my favourite has been some fresh JiangXi green tea, while I attempt to be creative, prepare a lesson, read a book with my lunch, do a little research, sketch a character for a book or tediously Photoshop what I drew. I did not even include the leaf sweeping, vacuuming with my new funky vacuum (no it is not an expensive Dyson), or cooking a concoction for dinner.
What a way to be busy, or not as I am telling myself.
Horribly, I have succumbed to the idea that perhaps I am busy. Too busy to go and meet friends. Too busy to stroll around and look at the nature. Whoops.
So, the only solution, is to ban the concept. What persuaded me? Life, looking at myself in the mirror, realising that I had been flâneuring around too much, which is why my next book isn't complete yet, and reading an article about how un-respectable telling everyone you are busy, really is.
Out with the resolutions
- Published 01 Jan 2014
So how do I start my New Year?
The cliche is to create a long list of New Year Resolutions. All very well and they work for about a week or two and then you get tired and the list gets put in a drawer.
A list, however is exactly what you need if you are going to stick to anything! Not a list of huge world changing events, but rather bite-sized chunks of actions that you can tick off as you do complete each one. This gives you a sense of achievement and accomplishment. When you can see a load of ticks down a list, it becomes a motivator to continue. A list of bite sized activities also make it easier to embark on getting things done.
I suppose it is like climbing a mountain. Look at the mountain and your eyes grow wide. Break it down into a reasonable list of actions, to achieve the goal and you just might climb that mountain. (Boots, Equipment, Rope, Supplies, Training, Support, Map, Weather Check and the list can go on).
Even Richard Branson advocates making a list or two. Although his choice or twitter response by someone who "wants to do something worth being stressed about" leaves me wondering whether humans are stress addicts?
As for me, I've made a list and completed some already:
- reorgansied my to do book,
- set a goal to write one of my blog posts every day (ha, ha),
- resolved to finish Rotten Eggs, including the illustrations,
- embarked on a project to document my mother's childhood memories,
- decided to tidy up Artful Art and get it published, sort out my two short stories about stars (including the illustrations),
- made a Honey Dew list (and even completed a good few of them - 3 in total yesterday and one before 8am this morning!), and
- make a tin for collecting memories of 2014 (taken from a great idea I saw using a glass jar - but glass breaks).
And who knows I might even complete my next Business TESOL course.
Of course, my eldest son shoved the tin back at me with a glaring teenager look. Sigh.
My youngest son was not sure that the New Year had started, but that was my fault as I wickedly told him on New Year's Eve that there were still 3 days to go. Maybe I should resolve not to joke so much!

Then for some reason I thought that I was wrong deleted it all and created the build directory, go there to unpack the tarball. Also now thinking back, the way you say is the way I did it on LFS-6.2. Well, it all seems to be okay, but I think that I will go with your way for the rest of the build. Thanks for the reply.

After a meeting of Real Madrid and AC Milan executives in New York, it seems like Kaká's possible move back to Italy is fading.
"A deal for Kaká looks very complicated because his price is high and his wages are extremely high. I'd say it's almost impossible", said Adriano Galliani, Milan vice president after meeting with Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez. "We'll continue negotiating, but I don't want to raise the fans' hopes. This deal is complicated, complicated, complicated", Galliani added.
Milan is currently developing an austerity plan trying to reduce the club's salary wages. As part of that plan, the Rossoneri's top players last season, Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva, were sold to French millionaire Paris Saint-Germain.
The Italian club is proposing a free loan of Kaká and a payment of about half of the player's current salary. Real Madrid would have to pay the other half unless Kaká accepts a decrease on his salary wages. After paying 67 million euros for Kaká three seasons ago, the Merengues are very doubtful of Milan's proposal.

The pretense is over.
The U.S. backed illegal military coup in Egypt which overthrew the democratically elected government is now codified by the Obama administration as a legitimate government worthy of Sec. John Kerry's praise.
Thousands have died at the hands of the rekindled Mubarak era death squads and many more disappeared into the old Mubarak style secret police detention systems brought back by al-Sisi when he took power after being given the go-ahead by Kerry and other high ranking Obama administration officials.
The constitution which was purposefully written by the Morsi government to prohibit IMF austerity reforms and safeguard worker's rights in Egypt, is gone. Torn up. Being rewritten by technocrats with neoliberalism and free market reforms at the forefront of their concerns.
Morsi was about to sign up with the BRICS nations, creating what he called the E-BRICS alignment. All of that is over with now.
al-Sisi has cracked down on the tunnels leading into Gaza which the Palestinians have come to depend on for providing the bare necessities of life in the largest open air prison in the world.

For a few Gazans, wealth eases pain of year-long siege
One businessman welcomes the cease-fire and the return of supplies from Israel.
Gaza City, Gaza
A crippling year-long siege has ground nearly all private economic activity here to a halt. Many ordinary Gazans have suffered under months of an Israeli blockade, but a few wealthy Palestinians have managed to maintain a spot of the good life.
Some of the elite cannot divorce themselves from the misery around them. Others are less apologetic.
Maamon Khozendar, a millionaire who owns gas stations throughout Gaza, a construction company, and has holdings in cement and other industries, does not feel guilty about amassing so much wealth in a sea of poverty.
Still, Mr. Khozendar's riches have helped others get by. He pays all of his 106 employees a full wage despite the fact that only a handful of them have actually worked for the past year.
"This is Eastern morality," he says. "Today, when I have bread, I will divide it and we will all eat. Tomorrow, when I don't have bread, we will go together to search."
As part of a five-day-old cease-fire brokered by Egypt, Israel began to gradually ease its economic blockade on Sunday, allowing 90 truckloads of supplies to be transferred into the Gaza Strip. Before the truce went into effect, only 60 to 70 truckloads of supplies were allowed in, said military spokesman Gil Karie.
"It's very exciting," Khozendar says. "Maybe 10 percent of the people here want to fight. The other 1.4 million just want to live their lives. We [the Israelis and the Palestinians] need some quiet. Quiet is good for business and business is definitely good for quiet."

DENHAM SPRINGS - a 29-year-old faces his 6th DWI offense after State Police arrested him for causing a head-on wreck on February 1, 2014.
State Troopers arrested Lee Edward Easley today on charges of DWI, reckless operation, negligent injuring and possession of marijuana.
Investigators said Easley was driving high on narcotics back in February when he lost control and crashed head-on with another car. Both Easley and the driver of the other car were transported to the hospital with moderate to severe injuries.
A toxicology report following the head-on collision determined Easley was high on several drugs. He was booked into the Livingston Parish Jail earlier today.

How Iraqi democracy might look
Some Arab countries blend monarchies with parliaments and elections to form 'Oriental democracy.'
There's an old joke Arabs like to tell that illustrates the condition of democracy in the Arab world. A flunky to an Arab dictator breathlessly informs his leader that 99.9 percent of the population reelected him in a nationwide poll in which he was the only candidate.
"That means only 0.1 percent of the people didn't vote for you, Mr. President," he says. "What more could you want?"
"Their names," comes the cold reply.
President Bush says one of the justifications for unseating Saddam Hussein is to bring democracy to Iraq, which, it is hoped in Washington, will spread to the rest of the Arab world.
That is no easy task, however, in a region with few democratic traditions. The phrase "tribes with flags" has been used to describe the Arab world, where the concept of the modern state, imposed by European powers in the 20th century, has sat uncomfortably with Arab traditions of loyalty to one's sect, feudal overlord, or religious leader.
Many ordinary Arabs, while appreciative of democratic values, have little faith that democracy is feasible in the Arab world.
"It's not a good idea for an Arab country to become democratic. I am against it," says Rima Zeitoun, a teacher here. "Arabs tend to be tribal and feudal. If you don't have a strong leader forced on them, to keep them living in harmony, they will fight against each other continuously."
That line of thought, however, wins little sympathy from some Arab intellectuals and academics who maintain that democracy can be successfully introduced to the Middle East as it has been elsewhere in the world.
"It's a grave mistake to assume that Arab democracy is simply something that Arabs cannot have when everyone else can have it," says Michael Young, a Lebanese political analyst and commentator in Beirut. "Democracy can work, free markets can work. I don't think you are destined in the Arab world to either have a Saddam [Hussein] or a Bashar [al-Assad, president of Syria]."

Riley Sanderson held the Railroaders to just one hit over eight innings and struck out seven in getting the win. Third baseman Brandon Brogetto had two hits and three RBIs for the Hoppers, while leftfielder John Beary had two hits and scored twice. The Hoppers return home tonight to face first place Dubois County tonight at Hopkinsville's Tiger Stadium. Former Hoptown Tiger Justin Hageman announced on his Facebook page that he has joined the Hoppers and is expected to pitch tonight. Dubois County improved to 4-0 by hammering winless Marion 15-4. The wild game of the night was in Madisonville where Owensboro jumped out to an 8-0 lead, only to see the Pirates tie the game and then score eight times in the eighth inning to win 17-9. Former Hopkinsville Tiger Jarrod Perry had two hits and two RBIs for the Pirates, who remain unbeaten at 3-0. Tonight, the Pirates travel to Marion, while Owensboro hosts Fulton.

About a week ago, we caught a glimpse of the Apple Peel 520 case, which effectively transforms an iPod touch into a nearly functional iPhone. It grants the iPod access to a cellular network for voice calls, text messages, and so on. Well, that Peel case has now been reviewed, and I'm not that excited about it as I initially was.
The Apple Peel 520 wraps around the iPod touch and links itself via the standard Apple dock connector. Inside the Peel case is a spot for a regular SIM card, but you will be left with slower speeds; there's no 3G support at this time. The case does come with its own removable 800mAh battery though, which is good for adding 3 hours of talk and 120 hours of standby.
To get it to work, you'll need to use the iPhone voice calling and text messaging apps on your iPod touch. That requires some jailbreaking on your part; that's all legal now, and super easy. You'll also need the Yosion and YsSMS apps to use the adapter.
The long and the short of it for the $57 Apple Peel 520 is that it works, but it's not without its problems. Incoming phone numbers may not appear, ringtones cannot be customized, adjusting the call volume does nothing, and incoming calls do not light up the iPod touch display. Strangely, the accepted call cannot end until the other party hangs up. You also can't delete single text messages, nor can you send to multiple recipients.
Yeah, maybe you're better off with a real iPhone.
can you talk to it
Oh gosh I totally need to get one of these! Must figure out how to contact the manufacture!
do u have to pay for a contract or minutes
@Tokteacher, i just want to clarify tokteacher things about the apple peal 520, do you really have to jailbroke the ipod b4 using it? tsk,
I have an apple peel, and a few things you should know. First, of course, your ipod touch must be jailbroken. Here are some of the things I haven't read in the reviews. 1. The mic/earbuds you use to make calls will no longer adjust your volume unless you drill a hole into the case and access the ipod touch's headphone jack. 2. If you plug the headphone mike into that jack via the hole, you have volume control on the ipod touch, but cannot make calls 3. You have to fiddle about to get any sound on the headphones when using the apple peel's jack with earbuds and mic. I works fine with regular earphones without a mic. You really have to fuss with it if you want to hear what is coming over the phone, and often people will hang up by time you get it adjusted 4. You have to add area code to every contact to get SMS's to work.
Bottom line: If you don't use your phone much, and just want a phone option for the ipod touch when you carry it, then it is a fun hobbyist's toy. Not for serious cell phone addicts, or anyone who needs a reliable and easy to use phone daily. Wait until they get the bugs out of it. I am posting this because I wish I had this information before I purchased it, but don't see it discussed anywhere.
this is just a PROOF OF CONCEPT, it works doesn't it, albeit with some flaws… just be patient… this could usher in other ipod touch accessories with similar concept.
I agree with Daniel, and in addition. I paid full price for my 3GS 32Gb that have many connectivity problems from frequent dropped calls and horrible 3G connectivity (Googling will show all other problems). Many of us resort to tips and tricks such as switching off notifications and turning 3G off. Telcos blame Apple and Apple pushes the blame to telcos. If something so expensive can have so many problems (include the contract price from your telco if you did not buy it on full retail price), why can't something that costs only US$57? (Or 456 if you include the price of a 64Gb iPod touch)
this is a brand new concept, a brand new product. one would be very surprisd if it had no flaws on the first go, especially for just 57 USD.
the point of this excercise is clearly allow people who cant afford the real thing have a taste of what it is like to have an iphone. so what is the point of saying you are better off with the real thing? its like saying the camero is not as good as the corvette you better get the real thing…
all its faults currently seem to be software, if it takes off i am sure future updates will address them.
@Daniel, Totally agree… that is why I have an ipod touch and a samsung intercept

Turning the Crank
Things…appear to have taken a bit of a turn.
According to Marc Stein of ESPN.com, the possible three-team deal that would have sent Chris Paul to the Lakers is now dead, and Lamar Odom — who was set to go to New Orleans as a part of the transaction — will instead be sent to Dallas in exchange for the traded player exception created by Dallas in the Tyson Chandler deal. Or, in a less convoluted way: the Mavs have turned the inevitable, gainless departure of a prized free agent into the reigning Sixth Man of the Year.
No matter how you slice or dice that transaction, you'll arrive at the same conclusion: that's a hell of a move.

Letter to editor and editor's comment: In praise of city councilman George O'Kelley, my dad
Letter to editor and editor's comment
In praise of city councilman George O'Kelley, my dad
This is my thanks to the editor of The Beaufort Tribune and the other concerned citizens of Beaufort who have agreed with the lone voice crying out on Beaufort's City Council to save the Freedom Mall and adjacent parking from the re-zoning currently before Council.
That voice belongs to my father, George H. O'Kelley, Jr., for whom I am named.
Although not a Beaufort native, as the old joke goes, he got there as quickly as he could. He has been proud to call Beaufort home since 1970.
My brothers and I were born in Beaufort Memorial, grew up on The Point, spent our teen years on Lost Island, and had the magical Beaufort childhood that your own children experienced.
Beaufort will always be home. To paraphrase from the Book of Ruth, her people will always be my people.
Years ago my father was at a party when someone asked if he was a native of Beaufort. Willie Scheper [a former mayor of Beaufort] answered for my father and said, "No, but he is now."
Good work, Dad. You make your family proud.
G. Hamlin O'Kelley, III
Mt. Pleasant, SC
From the City of Beaufort's website:
Editor's comment: The thanks of the entire Beaufort community, indeed of everyone around the nation and around the world who loves Beaufort, go to city councilman George O'Kelley.
He stood alone on city council in favor of the shared community values that have made Beaufort a truly unique coastal town until, at the penultimate moment in the dastardly rezoning maneuver, the other members of council finally heard his voice and the voices of thousands more and reversed course.
Official and final abandonment of the rezoning, the memorandum of understanding, the misconceived civic master plan and the misdirected redevelopment commission's effort now appears about to happen.
What a wonderful and unexpectedly quick and successful outcome to this battle to preserve the heart and soul of beautiful Beaufort by the sea.
But, lest we fall into the trap of resting on this victory, we must keep up the effort and the pressure until the death of these outrageous threats to beautiful Beaufort is final and the mentality that produced these threats is banished from our community forever.
George Graham Trask
Editor/Publisher, The Beaufort Tribune

Having been a seller on Ebay for the past 11 years, online payment companies have come and gone. In the past I've used Ebay's Billpoint, Yahoo Paydirect, Paypal, and Google Payments.
In the beginning of Paypal, they used to offer a sign up referral bonus with $5 for joining which helped to get a lot of people to start using their services.
American Express is jumping into the payment foray. Serve is American Express's version of Paypal. You can pay for things online, you can use an app to send money to someone standing next to you, and you can receive money just as easily.
Signing up for Serve is free and they're offering $10 for doing it. Simply go here and sign up for your account.
Then go here and answer one trivia question to be credited $10.
HikerT said,
Anyone know if you can still fund up to $250 via cc w/o fees? Serve says cc fees will start in 2012 but I recall reports they would start charging in Sep 2011.
alohastephen said,
They wouldn't let me sign up using my yahoo email.
Hmmm… -
jason said,
@alohastephen – I was able to sign up with my yahoo email
Jen said,
So I did it, but no $10 yet…anyone?
Rick said,
Beware that your credit card will charge you a cash advance fee if you fund SERVE from your credit card. I called SERVE to confirm this.
jason said,
@Jen – log back into your account – you need to "approve" the $10 deposit
jason said,
@Rick – I went ahead and tried it anyways – funding $100 – I'll let you know if it comes out as cash advance
jason said,
@Rick – I'm happy to report that the $100 funded by my Amex did not come across as cash advance
Efjx said,
@jason – when you funded the $100, you weren't charge the processing fee right? "2.9% of the load amount plus $0.30 per transaction" – I'm reading it as waived for now..but not sure how long that will last.
Section 10. fees -
jason said,
@efjx – no wasn't charged a professing fee – I read no processing fee until Jan 1 2012

Current Time
From the editors of Condé Nast Traveler:
This six-bedroom 1910 colonial has been given new life by hotelier Christopher Ong, who put Sri Lanka's Galle Fort Hotel on the five-star map. Here, Art Decoinflected teak chairs share the airy ground-floor living and dining space with furnishings that combine British colonial, Malay, and Chinese styles. French doors lead to a sea-foam-green-tiled swimming pool and copses of clove trees, Macarthur palms, and frangipanis. Only breakfast is served here at this upscale B&B, but an SUV is on call to ferry guests into Penang's diverse dining scene as well as on tours of Georgetown, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Return in time for sundowners in the garden, when the smiling, quiet staff light lanterns around the verdant grounds. The rooms feature four-poster beds, plenty of loungers, and antiques from Ong's personal collection. Some have colossal stone baths that take up to 45 minutes to fill, others open-air showers or bijou balconies, and all are unique. 2010 Hot ListWhich room to book: The duplex Star Anise suite is built around an ancient mango tree.

Abstract Detail |
When does a moving object influence the perception of heading?33.439, Sunday, 18-May, 8:30 am - 12:30 pm, Banyan Breezeway Oliver W. Layton1,2, Brett R. Fajen1; 1Cognitive Science, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, 2Center for Computational Neuroscience and Neural Technology, Boston University Unlike in a rigid environment, the presence of an independently moving object may bias human heading judgments during self-motion. Existing research suggests that an object moving laterally with respect to the observer's translation biases heading only when it crosses the observer's focus of expansion (FoE) (Warren & Saunders, 1995; Royden & Hildreth, 1996), which specifies the direction of travel in the absence of rotation (Gibson, 1950). Bias has only been demonstrated in dot-defined environments that lack depth variation (e.g. frontal wall). We sought to characterize the range of conditions in which moving objects impact heading perception. We investigated how proximity to the FoE and approach trajectory relative to heading of a moving object impacted heading perception in environments consisting of a dot- or texture-defined fronto-parallel plane, a ground plane, or both. Twelve subjects viewed simulated self-motion (±3°, ±9°, ±15°) on a rear projection screen (100°x80°) and indicated their perceived heading by adjusting the position of a post-motion probe. The object (initially 11°x11°) was positioned to occlude the FoE for much (Near condition) or none (Far condition) of the trial. Consistent with Warren & Saunders, we found bias in the direction opposite of the object motion when the object moved toward and crossed the path (~3°; Near condition). Unexpectedly, bias was observed when the object moved close to, but did not cross, the observer's path (~3.5°; Far condition). Objects initially positioned close to or far from the path that moved away did not yield bias. Our results show that moving objects bias heading even in environments with depth variation and even when the moving object approaches but does not occlude the FoE. The bias is consistent with models that propose a broad spatial pooling of units tuned to motion in area MT of primate visual cortex (Layton et al. 2012). < Back |

"Jim is going to be a strong voice for Oregon taxpayers. He understands that higher taxes are not the answer and will not waiver on the issue of taxes! We need him in the Legislature to help lower taxes and work towards a more efficient and accountable government!"— State Senator Gary George
THOMPSON: Investing In Oregon Jobs
I will partner with the State to attract high-paying jobs to Oregon. I will use my business background to see that the Legislature is doing all it can to protect and grow our family owned businesses and farms.
THOMPSON: Safe Neighborhoods
I believe that government has one fundamental role – to provide police protection and enforcement to its citizens. When crime plagues our neighborhoods, our schools, and our businesses, everyone suffers. As your Legislator, I will work to ensure that our police, jails and courts are able to adequately serve our community's needs.

Against Art
(The Notebooks)
Distributed for Seagull Books
Translated by James Anderson
207 pages
5 x 8
© 2010
In contemporary Norwegian fiction Tomas Espedal's work stands out as uniquely personal; it can be difficult to separate the fiction from Espedal's own experiences. In that vein, his novel Against Art is not just the story of a boy growing up to be a writer, but it is also the story of writing. Specifically, it is about the profession of writing—the routines, responsibility, and obstacles. Yet, Against Art is also about being a father, a son, and a grandson; about a family and a family's tales, and about how preceding generations mark their successors. It is at once about choices and changes, about motion and rest, about moving to a new place, and about living.
Praise for the Norwegian Edition
"One of the most beautiful, most important books I've read for years."—Klassekampen
"Espedal has written an amazingly rich novel, which will assuredly stand out as one of the year's best and will also further fortify the quality of Norwegian literature abroad."— Adresseavisen
"Against Art attacks literature while at the same time being intensely literary. Our greatest sorrows and torments, the individual experiences often so anemic in art, find a voice of their own."—Morgenbladet
"Against Art moves me with its maternal history and proves yet again that Tomas Espedal writes great novels."—Dag og Tid
The Complete Review
"An impressive, multi-layered narrative, of the power and limits of art, of finding one's place—within a family, as well as a place to live and work—of dealing with grief and ever-changing intimate personal connections, whether abrupt—the death of a loved one—or more gradual—a daughter coming into her own. It is a complete work, yet also feels like a stage, of his life and writing-career. . . . A quite fascinating, rich, and deeply personal work."
Edward Sugde | Times Literary Supplement
"Against Art is not 'about' anything but instead details its own process of creation. The result is a book that is never anything less than interesting, and which reads as an experimental meditation on itself."

POSTED: Wednesday, October 5, 2011 - 1:19pm
UPDATED: Wednesday, October 5, 2011 - 1:27pm
BATON ROUGE (NBC33) — After more than two hours of discussion, the Library Control Board will move forward with plans for a $19 million downtown library. Over a dozen members of the public spoke at the podium for Wednesday night's Metro Council meeting, both for and against the project.
Five council members placed an item on the agenda urging the Library Control Board to renovate the existing library facility downtown. That item was voted on and deleted from the agenda, with some members who initially sponsored the item voting against their own item.
Mayor-President Kip Holden spoke in favor of a new library facility and said he's in talks with several technology companies to turn the library into an "urban learning center."
The Library Control Board will now get together with an architect to draw up plans for a new library.
