Master of fine arts alum and author to give reading
Printer-friendly versionPDF version
Carter Sickels, author and Penn State master of fine arts alumnus, will read at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, March 20, in Paterno Library's Foster Auditorium. The reading is free and open to the public.
Carter Sickels is the author of the novel "The Evening Hour" (Bloomsbury USA), a Finalist for the 2013 Oregon Book Award, the Lambda Literary Debut Fiction Award and the Publishing Triangle Edmund White Debut Fiction Award. The novel is set in Dove Creek, W.Va., where most of the wealth is in the mountains — in the coal seams that have provided generations with a way of life but little prosperity. Born here and raised by his Pentecostal grandfather, 27-year-old Cole Freeman sidestepped work as a miner to become an aide in a nursing home. He's got a shock of bleached blond hair and a gentle touch well suited to the job. He's also a drug dealer, reselling the prescription pills of the older population to a younger crowd.
Kirkus Review calls "The Evening Hour" "a plainspoken novel, but one with intensely lyrical moments, about the devastation of the West Virginia landscape — and the devastation to the local communities — owing to mountaintop removal ... . Sickels has great insight into the emotional life of West Virginians, and he refreshingly presents them as fully realized characters rather than as clichés or stereotypes."
Of his first novel, Sickels said, "I like country spaces and rural spaces, but I've lived most of my adult life in cities. I was interested in exploring that and it is something I think about (in) my own life. I'm drawn to the country often … but at the same time, especially as a queer person, it's very difficult to imagine living in spaces like that unless it's a really progressive place."
Carter, who lives in Portland, Ore., is the recipient of a 2013 artistic grant from Oregon's Regional Arts & Culture Council and winner of the 2013 Lambda Literary Emerging Writer Award. He has won fellowships to the Hambidge Center, Bread Loaf Writers' Conference, the Sewanee Writers' Conference, the MacDowell Colony and the Virginia Center for the Creative Arts. He is currently Visiting Faculty for West Virginia Wesleyan's Low Res MFA Program.
The reading is sponsored by Penn State's Department of English. Additional sponsorship for this event is provided by the Mary E. Rolling Endowment, the Joseph L. Grucci Poetry Endowment, the Institute for Arts and Humanities, the Paterno Fellows Program, the Pennsylvania Center for the Book, the University Libraries and the College of the Liberal Arts at Penn State.

The University of Wyoming is not going to adopt a policy on guest speakers, despite recent controversies involving some invited to the campus, The Star-Tribune reported. Some have suggested the university needs a policy in light of its decision to stop an appearance by William Ayers, the former Weatherman leader who has gone on to a career as an education professor. But Tom Buchanan, the university president, on Thursday reiterated that he stopped that appearance because of safety concerns, not because of criticism of Ayers. While a federal judge went on to say that the decision was inappropriate, Buchanan defended it. "For me -- perhaps not for you, but for me -- it was a safety issue," Buchanan said. "I did what I thought was right, knowing that a judge and many others, on and off campus, might disagree."
Higher Education Quick Takes
Quick Takes
President Obama on Thursday said in a statement that he would support efforts to use a defense spending bill as a vehicle to pass the DREAM Act, which would create a path to citizenship for many college students who have been in the United States for years -- typically brought by their parents at young ages -- without legal documentation to allow them to stay. Many political leaders have argued for keeping the DREAM legislation -- arguably one of the less controversial parts of immigration reform -- in an overall package of changes in immigration laws. The statement issued by the White House stressed that Obama still supported comprehensive immigration reform but that he was getting behind the idea of moving on DREAM first. "The president noted that it is time to stop punishing innocent young people for the actions of their parents, especially when those youth grew up in America and want to serve this country in the military or pursue a higher education they have earned through academic excellence," said the statement.
Student journalists at Southwestern College, a community college near San Diego, say that the administration is trying to block them from publishing controversial election-related articles by invoking an old rule to require them to seek bids on their publishing contract, The San Diego Union-Tribune reported. The college has not enforced, for at least 15 years, a policy requiring the paper to seek bids before signing a printing contract, but the college now says that the paper may not be printed again until a bidding process takes place. The students say that this is an attempt to squelch them, but college officials say they just discovered the rule -- and they note that students can publish online.
Labor leaders are criticizing plans by the University of California to require a greater employee contribution to the pension fund, the Los Angeles Times reported. With the university projecting a deficit in the pension fund as high as $21 billion, it started requiring payments by itself (of 4 percent of salaries) and of employees (2 percent) this year. Under a plan that could be approved as soon as today, those shares would increase to 5 percent for employees and 10 percent for the university. Future changes could raise the retirement age or create two tiers of benefits, with new employees not receiving everything going to those currently employed. Union leaders argue that many of these changes will have a disproportionate impact on those at the low end of the salary scale.
Higher education leaders from 17 countries on Wednesday announced agreement on a set of principles for evaluating quality in master's and doctoral education. The agreement seeks to articulate principles in light of the trend in which much more consideration goes into global consideration of standards for undergraduate education. Among the principles: that quality evaluation must "go beyond the assessment of research quality" and consider such factors as admissions, recruitment and student learning outcomes; that "meaningful quality metrics" are needed to evaluate research; and that faculty members need to play a key role in the evaluation process. Higher education groups from the following countries signed on: Australia, Britain, Canada, China, France, Germany, India, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, New Zealand, Singapore, South Africa, South Korea, Thailand, the United States and Vietnam.
The Higher Education Price Index (HEPI) for fiscal 2010, was 0.9 percent, less than half the 2.3 percent rate for FY2009, according to the Commonfund Institute, which calculates the figure. The index is intended to be used, like an inflation rate, in examining college budgets and policies. The idea is that colleges' expenses are sufficiently different from those in national inflation rates to merit a separate figure. The chief reason for this year's low rate was that two spending categories used in calculating the rate -- materials and utilities -- saw declines in prices.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has overturned the arson conviction of Briana Walters for an attack on a horticulture laboratory at the University of Washington, The Seattle Times reported. The appeals court ordered a new trial for Walters, of the Earth Liberation Front, saying that the judge in the trial -- who has since died -- improperly allowed some evidence into the trial and failed to question jurors about whether they were exposed to news about the case. "While the evidence against Waters may have been sufficient to sustain her conviction, our review of the record does not leave us convinced that her conviction was fairly obtained," the decision granting a new trial said.
The Justice Department on Wednesday published revised regulations on certain aspects of the Americans With Disabilities Act, dealing with some issues that relate to higher education. More detail is provided on the obligations to make sure that their athletic stadiums are sufficiently accessible to people with physical disabilities, for example, an issue on which some universities and advocates for those with disabilities have clashed in the past. Ada Meloy, general counsel for the American Council on Education, said she had not yet studied the revisions -- which are lengthy and complicated -- in detail, but that it appeared that the department had responded to concerns expressed by colleges about some parts of earlier drafts of the regulations. One example is in another part of the regulations -- concerning service animals. The regulations state, for instance, that "service animal means any dog that is individually trained to do work or perform tasks for the benefit of an individual with a disability, including a physical, sensory, psychiatric, intellectual, or other mental disability. Other species of animals, whether wild or domestic, trained or untrained, are not service animals for the purposes of this definition. The work or tasks performed by a service animal must be directly related to the handler's disability." Meloy said that some colleges have received requests to treat other animals -- including reptiles -- as service animals and that officials wanted specificity of the sort outlined in the regulations.
Ohio State University announced Wednesday that its new senior vice president for university development is Andrew A. Sorensen. The appointment is unusual in that Sorensen already has been a university president, twice -- serving at the University of South Carolina and the University of Alabama. While many former presidents return to faculty positions, it is unusual -- but not unheard of -- for them to take administrative positions in which they aren't president. Among those who have done so: Thomas G. Burish, provost of the University of Notre Dame, who was president of Washington and Lee University.
During a year in which the University of California at Berkeley faced deep budget cuts, furloughs and student unrest, did it become a much better institution? Times Higher Education released its world rankings Wednesday night -- and Berkeley came in at #8, an impressive gain from #39 last year. And once again, the power of methodology changes is evident in rankings. After last year's rankings were widely criticized -- with many citing Berkeley's relatively low grades as an example that something must have been wrong with the formula -- Times Higher switched rankings partners and changed its methodology. (Among other changes, the weight has been reduced for the "reputational survey" -- with separate surveys on teaching and research.) Generally, American universities fare well in the formula, occupying 7 of the top 10 spots, and all of the top 5.

In which I'm a complete spoil-sport. Tell me if you think I'm missing the point.
The words in this book may be answers to questions you didn't know to ask, and perhaps some you did. They might pinpoint emotions and experiences that seemed elusive or indescribable, or they may cause you to remember a person you'd forgotten. If you take something away from this book … let it be the realization or affirmation that you are human, [it's easily forgotten] that you are fundamentally, intrinsically bound to every single person on the planet with language and feelings.Writing her review, Maria Popova is as rapt as Sanders. She wants to know '...what happens when words are kept apart by too much unbridgeable otherness?' Anybody want to take that one? I haven't a clue what she means, so let's move on. On the Japanese word komorebi meaning 'sunlight filtered through the trees' Popova goes all precious on us:
These words invariably prompt you to wonder… whether a culture lacking a word for the sunlight that filters through the leaves of the trees is also one lacking the ennobling capacity for such quality of presence, for the attentive and appreciative stillness this very act requires.

Half-cent sales tax kills $10 wheelage tax: Beltrami commissioners look at long-term plan to fix county roads
BEMIDJI — Yes, new taxes?
Beltrami County will be implementing a new sales tax to help pay for county road repairs. The half-percent transportation sales tax follows the incorporation of a $10 wheelage tax earlier this year for 2014.
However, by adopting the resolution that adds the sales tax, the wheelage tax now will dissolve in 2015.

Tennessee proposes welfare reform?
Poster Handle
*HAARP Lady*

My God welfare really?I say if you can live on welfare more power to ya.You do realize welfare helps people who are dying handicapped and live with other dysfunctions.Why are you people so brain dead to believe recycled and taxed again money hinders you or the economy in any way.Any money the people can get back from big corporate Government is a good thing.You guys got your butts handed to you on and after 9-11 and its still going on and your worried about about homeless or near homeless family that may or may not have smoked pot?How about returning all the stolen money from social security that workers invested in first.Dear God my plate is full could you please make sure everyone else has their plate smashed.
Personally, I am not worried about a homeless family that smokes pot. What bothers me are families that spend their welfare dollars on buying pot, meth, crack, alcohol etc instead of sheltering or feeding their children.
I personally AM worried about the homeless family that smokes pot! Because what are those kids going to do? They will "ape" their parents - and then THEY will become the "homeless" statistic - very rarely does a child raised in this type of environment break out of the "norm."
For the person above you... You know, that really ticks me off! One because I have a small business that makes about $50,000.00 a year (which goes right back into employment as I'm the sole employee) and guess what my taxes are? 30%!!! Just my business - my personal taxes at 15% - so 45% of what I earn goes back to "Big Daddy Government" only to be dispersed to many people who CAN work but want to LIVE off the gov't! I have medical problems, but I still work - I have physical challenges, but I still work! It all boils down to "we do what we want to do" and about 40 to 50% of those on welfare shouldn't be there! Believe me, 25 years ago I had to go on food stamps to have food in my house - but that was until I found a job - i don't care if you work at McDonalds - at least you have a job and can have some self - respect! So you are dang straight that I get upset when I hear about welfare people on drugs!
And you know what? Those who have Big Businesses and make a lot of money? They started out small and worked their way up (Like Walgreens or Walmart) Don't dis someone and want the gov't to take more from them because they had a dream and fulfilled it! That's idiotic!
Okay I'm done.

How To Makeup
For stage makeup one rarely use any highlight or shiny effects as it won't have the desired effect when the audience is so far away- the character will just look sweaty. So if this is not the desired effect one should always work with matt colors, super covering foundation (sticks are often used) and dry powders without illuminating particles. Remember to also apply makeup to any bald heads and make sure it is extra matt as the light will often be stronger from above.
Facts gathered by Archaeologists denote that Makeup used to be practiced in Egypt in 4th millennium BC also. They have obtained objects like scented ointments and artifacts of makeup. Makeup industry is a multibillion dollar industry. It is governed by various government regulations so that manufacturers follow the safe guidelines while manufacturing various makeup products. The most common injury that one gets to face by using cosmetics is the skin irritation. Hence, precautions need to be taken not only in manufacturing but also by the users while applying the cosmetics. They must do patch testing before applying the product to the whole part. Users should follow the instructions that are written on various cosmetic products for safe use.
There are various courses that are offered by London Makeup School like Asian courses, male makeup, mature makeup, bridal hair up, bridal makeup, Black makeup, HD makeup etc. One can choose any program suiting one's interest from an array of courses offered by London Makeup School. A well skilled and knowledgeable makeup artist would always create his place in the industry. That is why we see that some makeup artists are endorsed by various actors.
Gone are the days when Makeup used to be a word in women's kitty. The word Makeup finds its existence in women's as well as in men's dictionary. Makeup enhances the beauty of your face and highlights the looks that you want to accentuate.
Blotter papers are also essential to keep makeup fresh all day long. Just press on face and remove excess oil without disturbing your makeup! These papers are mini miracles! They are inexpensive and are truly life saving in the summer months. If you absolutely do not have any or find yourself out...check out the toilet seat covers that are found in most public bathrooms. They are made of the same paper as blotting paper! With a blotting paper it is easy as blotting your face. You will see the oil removed and the makeup will look fresh! Please always blot before you powder otherwise you are making mud!
Angelina Jolie is known for its stunning eye makeup which is usually marked with a cat style, bold, seductive and feminine, but the makeup of cat eyes is not the time if used for many years, the very Cleopatra as all the Egyptian women had for centuries.
As you will notice the cat eye makeup never goes out of fashion no longer one of the sexiest trends in makeup at night is concerned. If you want to wear this style, pay attention to these makeup tricks to create a sensual feline look.
Above all the first thing you have to do is decide whether you will use a liquid eyeliner or pencil eyeliner , note that the former has a much more daring, but if you do not practice is to use lean is better than the second option. As for color, it has to be dark and all possible shades, black is the one that gives better results, better make an exception regarding the liner, from personal experience to the very white and blonde women it is best to choose eyeliner pencil for which they have to blend very well, instead of brown or hair dark can use them.

It was a minus 12 degrees
when we went to physical therapy this A.M. Not quite warmed up 3 hourss later. Feel sorry for the animals that don't have good shelter. If it stays that cold this evening Leone is going to do soap bubbles. I'll watch from the patio door. I'm not going out in that cold.
It's just above freezing here, but we got 6" of snow, today, and now it's "sleety" and everything is getting icy. It's pretty messy and dangerous, too.
Minus 12 is a little too cold, even for a cold weather fan like me. Tell Leone to be careful, if she goes out to blow bubbles.
Posted by janis_g z7GA (My Page) on

Lord luv a duck, George.
Leave to you to grow and consume something I've never heard of or tasted.
If I run across it in the super market I'll buy it and figure out what to do with it once I get it home.
You and Leone sure keep me on my toes.
Only you could have a southern girl like me stand out on
the deck in the middle of a cold winter's night blowing bubbles just to see if they will freeze.
I thought of bubbles when I saw the title. I, like Janis thought last year, how amazing bubbles freezing. We are Southern girls! I'll always remember that bubbles can freeze and think fondly of George and Leone who spent their anniversary outside in that weather!
I remember those temperatures from next door in Iowa, they were painful and required lots of layers to navigate. Dry is another result of that cold, the air takes the moisture from whatever is exposed. Wonder what the chemical description of frozen bubbles would be.
I shiver at the thought of *anything* below 0*. Phht, I'm shivering anyhow and it's all of 36 outside. With a gentle 40 mph breeze, so it feels colder but nowhere near zero. The farther upwards from zero it is, the happier I am.
Don ~ why would the chemical description be different from unfrozen bubbles? H2O is H2O whether frozen or liquid, glycerin is glycerin, etc.
Hot water plus soap cleans better because the chemicals that make up the soap combine molecules better when warmer. The opposite is when they are colder and the chemicals separate or coagulate. Harder to mix soap with icy water hence soap bubbles act differently in colder temperatures. Our George and Leone are ground breaking scientists and have fun doing it.
Here is a link that might be useful: How Does Temperature Affect the Rate of Chemical Reactions?
This may go off topic of
bubbles, but it's on topic of " How Does Temperature Affect the Rate of Chemical Reactions?" We've had the first day of dry, sunny and warm day in a long time. I feel happy being in the sunshine, the neighbors are out doing their thing, walking their dogs, trying out a new GPS, gardening and planting bulbs.
The sun and temps make a difference in our lives.
Don~ I looked up 'effects of low temperatures on soap bubbles'; wikipedia's was non-technical but interesting.
Gandle~ add a bit of sugar to the solution?
Personally, I hope to never be near air of low enough temperature to freeze bubbles.

Report from first craft show
Well, I'm back from my first craft show. I must say that while it was a great experience, was disapointed in the crowd. It was a small, church group craft show and I dont think they advertised well enough, but I am grateful for the experience.
I made a little money - about three times the booth fee, which I guess is okay. Everyone said my presentation was wonderful, very professional looking. tomorrow I will fiddle around with the pictures I took and post them for ya'll to see and comment on.
I think the weather (cloudy in the a.m. and raining in the afternoon) might have had an effect on the crowds as well.
So, all in all, I'm glad its over and now I can relax. I don't feel compelled to soap, soap, soap, soap, soap, which is what I've been doing for weeks now. I have lots of stuff left over for the next show - which won't be for a while!
Sounds like fun Magi, even if attendance was a bit light. I have yet to get my soap 'perfected' enough to try a craft fair, but someday I might. As much money as I've spent on supplies, I should try.
Making back your booth fee is a good thing. I split a booth with a friend of mine a long time ago and made exactly 5 dollars-- nowhere near what I paid for the space. And it was a busy even too. I think I might be a little jealous;-)
Glad it went well,

Best Member Poems
We, unaccustomed to courage
exiles from delight
live coiled in shells of loneliness
until love leaves its high holy temple
and comes into our sight
to liberate us into life.
Love arrives
and in its train come ecstasies
old memories of pleasure
ancient histories of pain.
Yet if we are bold,
love strikes away the chains of fear
from our souls.
We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love's light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.
Our efforts are those of the unfortunate;
our efforts are like those of the Trojans.
Somewhat we succeed; somewhat
we regain confidence; and we start
to have courage and high hopes.
But something always happens and stops us.
Achilles in the trench before us
emerges and with loud cries terrifies us.--
Our efforts are like those of the Trojans.
We believe that with resolution and daring
we will alter the blows of destiny,
and we stand outside to do battle.
But when the great crisis comes,
our daring and our resolution vanish;
our soul is agitated, paralyzed;
and we run around the walls
seeking to save ourselves in flight.
Nevertheless, our fall is certain. Above,
on the walls, the mourning has already begun.
The memories and the sentiments of our days weep.
Bitterly Priam and Hecuba weep for us.
When suddenly, at midnight, you hear
an invisible procession going by
with exquisite music, voices,
don't mourn your luck that's failing now,
work gone wrong, your plans
all proving deceptive -- don't mourn them uselessly.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage,
say goodbye to her, the Alexandria that is leaving.
Above all, don't fool yourself, don't say
it was a dream, your ears deceived you:
don't degrade yourself with empty hopes like these.
As one long prepared, and graced with courage,
as is right for you who were given this kind of city,
go firmly to the window
And listen with deep emotion, but not
with whining, the pleas of a coward;
listen -- your final delectation -- to the voices,
to the exquisite music of that strange procession,
and say goodbye to her, to the Alexandria you are losing.
Friendless and faint, with martyred steps and slow,
Faint for the flesh, but for the spirit free,
Stung by the mob that came to see the show,
The Master toiled along to Calvary;
We gibed him, as he went, with houndish glee,
Till his dimmed eyes for us did overflow;
We cursed his vengeless hands thrice wretchedly, --
And this was nineteen hundred years ago.
But after nineteen hundred years the shame
Still clings, and we have not made good the loss
That outraged faith has entered in his name.
Ah, when shall come love's courage to be strong!
Tell me, O Lord -- tell me, O Lord, how long
Are we to keep Christ writhing on the cross!
Let me to-day do something that shall take
A little sadness from the world's vast store,
And may I be so favoured as to make
Of joy's too scanty sum a little more.
Let me not hurt, by any selfish deed
Or thoughtless word, the heart of foe or friend;
Nor would I pass, unseeing, worthy need,
Or sin by silence when I should defend.
However meagre be my worldly wealth,
Let me give something that shall aid my kind –
A word of courage, or a thought of health,
Dropped as I pass for troubled hearts to find.
Let me to-night look back across the span
'Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience say –
Because of some good act to beast or man –
"The world is better that I lived today."
Jesus, Thou divine Companion,
By Thy lowly human birth
Thou hast come to join the workers,
Burden bearers of the earth.
Thou, the Carpenter of Nazareth,
Toiling for Thy daily food,
By Thy patience and Thy courage,
Thou hast taught us toil is good.
They who tread the path of labor
Follow where Thy feet have trod;
They who work without complaining
Do the holy will of God.
Thou, the Peace that passeth knowledge,
Dwellest in the daily strife;
Thou, the Bread of heaven, broken
In the sacrament of life.
Every task, however simple,
Sets the soul that does it free;
Every deed of love and kindness
Done to man is done to Thee.
Jesus, Thou divine Companion,
Help us all to do our best;
Bless in our daily labor,
Lead us to the Sabbath rest.
Let me but live my life from year to year,
With forward face and unreluctant soul;
Not hurrying to, nor turning from the goal;
Not mourning for the things that disappear
In the dim past, nor holding back in fear
From what the future veils; but with a whole
And happy heart, that pays its toll
To Youth and Age, and travels on with cheer.
So let the way wind up the hill or down,
O'er rough or smooth, the journey will be joy:
Still seeking what I sought when but a boy,
New friendship, high adventure, and a crown,
My heart will keep the courage of the quest,
And hope the road's last turn will be the best.
The land was broken in despair,
The princes quarrelled in the dark,
When clear and tranquil, through the troubled air
Of selfish minds and wills that did not dare,
Your star arose, Jeanne d'Arc.
O virgin breast with lilies white,
O sun-burned hand that bore the lance,
You taught the prayer that helps men to unite,
You brought the courage equal to the fight,
You gave a heart to France!
Your king was crowned, your country free,
At Rheims you had your soul's desire:
And then, at Rouen, maid of Domremy,
The black-robed judges gave your victory
The martyr's crown of fire.
And now again the times are ill,
And doubtful leaders miss the mark;
The people lack the single faith and will
To make them one, -- your country needs you still, --
Come back again, Jeanne d'Arc!
O woman-star, arise once more
And shine to bid your land advance:
The old heroic trust in God restore,
Renew the brave, unselfish hopes of yore,
And give a heart to France!
What hast thou done, O womanhood of France,
Mother and daughter, sister, sweetheart, wife,
What hast thou done, amid this fateful strife,
To prove the pride of thine inheritance
In this fair land of freedom and romance?
I hear thy voice with tears and courage rife,--
Smiling against the swords that seek thy life,--
Make answer in a noble utterance:
"I give France all I have, and all she asks.
Would it were more! Ah, let her ask and take:
My hands to nurse her wounded, do her tasks,--
My feet to run her errands through the dark,--
My heart to bleed in triumph for her sake,--
And all my soul to follow thee, Jeanne d'Arc!"
Oh, quick to feel the lightest touch
Of beauty or of truth,
Rich in the thoughtfulness of age,
The hopefulness of youth,
The courage of the gentle heart,
The wisdom of the pure,
The strength of finely tempered souls
To labour and endure!
The blue of springtime in your eyes
Was never quenched by pain;
And winter brought your head the crown
Of snow without a stain.
The poet's mind, the prince's heart,
You kept until the end,
Nor ever faltered in your work,
Nor ever failed a friend.
Let us put awhile away
All the cares of work-a-day,
For a golden time forget,
Task and worry, toil and fret,
Let us take a day to dream
In the meadow by the stream.
We may lie in grasses cool
Fringing a pellucid pool,
We may learn the gay brook-runes
Sung on amber afternoons,
And the keen wind-rhyme that fills
Mossy hollows of the hills.
Where the wild-wood whisper stirs
We may talk with lisping firs,
We may gather honeyed blooms
In the dappled forest glooms,
We may eat of berries red
O'er the emerald upland spread.
We may linger as we will
In the sunset valleys still,
Till the gypsy shadows creep
From the starlit land of sleep,
And the mist of evening gray
Girdles round our pilgrim way.
We may bring to work again
Courage from the tasselled glen,
Bring a strength unfailing won
From the paths of cloud and sun,
And the wholesome zest that springs
From all happy, growing things.
AH, ye gods! ye great immortals
In the spacious heavens above us!
Would ye on this earth but give us
Steadfast minds and dauntless courage
We, oh kindly ones, would leave you
All your spacious heavens above us!
THUS to be chain'd for ever, can I bear?
A very torment that, in truth, would be.
This very day my new resolve shall see.--
I'll not go near the lately-worshipp'd Fair.
Yet what excuse, my heart, can I prepare
In such a case, for not consulting thee?
But courage! while our sorrows utter we
In tones where love, grief, gladness have a share.
But see! the minstrel's bidding to obey,
Its melody pours forth the sounding lyre,
Yearning a sacrifice of love to bring.
Scarce wouldst thou think it--ready is the lay;
Well, but what then? Methought in the first fire
We to her presence flew, that lay to sing.
IF thou wouldst live unruffled by care,
Let not the past torment thee e'er;
If any loss thou hast to rue,
Act as though thou wert born anew;
Inquire the meaning of each day,
What each day means itself will say;
In thine own actions take thy pleasure,
What others do, thou'lt duly treasure;
Ne'er let thy breast with hate be supplied,
And to God the future confide.
IF wealth is gone--then something is gone!
Quick, make up thy mind,
And fresh wealth find.
If honour is gone--then much is gone!
Seek glory to find,
And people then will alter their mind.
If courage is gone--then all is gone!
'Twere better that thou hadst never been born.
HE who with life makes sport,
Can prosper never;
Who rules himself in nought,
Is a slave ever.
MAY each honest effort be
Crown'd with lasting constancy.
EACH road to the proper end
Runs straight on, without a bend.
KLOPSTOCK would lead us away from Pindus; no longer
for laurel
May we be eager--the homely acorn alone must content us;
Yet he himself his more-than-epic crusade is conducting
High on Golgotha's summit, that foreign gods he may honour!
Yet, on what hill he prefers, let him gather the angels together,
Suffer deserted disciples to weep o'er the grave of the just one:
There where a hero and saint hath died, where a bard breath'd his
Both for our life and our death an ensample of courage resplendent
And of the loftiest human worth to bequeath,--ev'ry nation
There will joyously kneel in devotion ecstatic, revering
Thorn and laurel garland, and all its charms and its tortures.
[Written at the time of Goethe's connection
with Lily.]
HEART! my heart! what means this feeling?
What oppresseth thee so sore?
What strange life is o'er me stealing!
I acknowledge thee no more.
Fled is all that gave thee gladness,
Fled the cause of all thy sadness,
Fled thy peace, thine industry--
Ah, why suffer it to be?
Say, do beauty's graces youthful,
Does this form so fair and bright,
Does this gaze, so kind, so truthful,
Chain thee with unceasing might?
Would I tear me from her boldly,
Courage take, and fly her coldly,
Back to her. I'm forthwith led
By the path I seek to tread.
By a thread I ne'er can sever,
For 'tis 'twined with magic skill,
Doth the cruel maid for ever
Hold me fast against my will.
While those magic chains confine me,
To her will I must resign me.
Ah, the change in truth is great!
Love! kind love! release me straight!
CARELESSLY over the plain away,
Where by the boldest man no path
Cut before thee thou canst discern,
Make for thyself a path!
Silence, loved one, my heart!
Cracking, let it not break!
Breaking, break not with thee!
Nay, nay, sweet England, do not grieve!
Not one of these poor men who died
But did within his soul believe
That death for thee was glorified.
Ever they watched it hovering near
That mystery 'yond thought to plumb,
Perchance sometimes in loathèd fear
They heard cold Danger whisper, Come! --
Heard and obeyed. O, if thou weep
Such courage and honour, beauty, care,
Be it for joy that those who sleep
Only thy joy could share.
Loitering with a vacant eye
Along the Grecian gallery,
And brooding on my heavy ill,
I met a statue standing still.
Still in marble stone stood he,
And stedfastly he looked at me.
"Well met," I thought the look would say,
"We both were fashioned far away;
We neither knew, when we were young,
These Londoners we live among."
Still he stood and eyed me hard,
An earnest and a grave regard:
"What, lad, drooping with your lot?
I too would be where I am not.
I too survey that endless line
Of men whose thoughts are not as mine.
Years, ere you stood up from rest,
On my neck the collar prest;
Years, when you lay down your ill,
I shall stand and bear it still.
Courage, lad, 'tis not for long:
Stand, quit you like stone, be strong."
So I thought his look would say;
And light on me my trouble lay,
And I stept out in flesh and bone
Manful like the man of stone.
An Epithaliamium
So Man, grown vigorous now,
Holds himself ripe to breed,
Daily devises how
To ejaculate his seed
And boldly fertilize
The black womb of the unconsenting skies.
Some now alive expect
(I am told) to see the large,
Steel member grow erect,
Turgid with the fierce charge
Of our whole planet's skill,
Courage, wealth, knowledge, concentrated will,
Straining with lust to stamp
Our likeness on the abyss-
Bombs, gallows, Belsen camp,
Pox, polio, Thais' kiss
Or Judas, Moloch's fires
And Torquemada's (sons resemble sires).
Shall we, when the grim shape
Roars upward, dance and sing?
Yes: if we honour rape,
If we take pride to Ring
So bountifully on space
The sperm of our long woes, our large disgrace.
With failing feet and shoulders bowed
Beneath the weight of happier days,
He lagged among the heedless crowd,
Or crept along suburban ways.
But still through all his heart was young,
A courage, a pride, a rapture, sprung
Of the strength and splendour of England's war.
From ill-requited toil he turned
To ride with Picton and with Pack,
Among his grammars inly burned
To storm the Afghan mountain-track.
When midnight chimed, before Quebec
He watched with Wolfe till he morning star;
At noon he saw from Victory's deck
The sweep and splendour of England's war.
Beyond the book his teaching sped,
He left on whom he taught the trace
Of kinship with the deathless dead,
And faith in all the Island race.
He passed : his life a tangle seemed,
His age from fame and power was far;
But his heart was night to the end, and dreamed
Of the sound and splendour of England's war.
The deepest dream is of mad governors,
Down, down we feel it, till the very crust
Of the world cracks, and where there was no dust,
Atoms of ruin rise. Confusion stirs,
And fear; and all our thoughts--dark scavengers--
Feed on the center's refuse. Hope is thrust
Like wind away, and love sinks into lust
For merest safety, meanest of levelers.
And then we wake. Or do we? Sleep endures
More than the morning can, when shadows lie
Sharper than mountains, and the cleft is real
Between us and our kings. What sun assures
Our courage, and what evening by and by
Descends to rest us, and perhaps to heal?
"Be careful with your words and actions even in joking, that can hurt someone who loves you from the depth of the heart, when someone becomes silent, less active that means person is hurt, be polite, show excuse, give the courage so that person can back again as was, if you love too."
Ehsan Sehgal
POsthumus boasts he does not Thunder fear,
And for this cause would Innocent appear;
That in his Soul no Terrour he does feel,
At threatn'd Vultures, or Ixion's Wheel,
Which fright the Guilty: But when Fabius told
What Acts 'gainst Murder lately were enrol'd,
'Gainst Incest, Rapine, ---- straight upon the Tale
His Colour chang'd, and Posthumus grew pale.
His Impious Courage had no other Root,
But that the Villaine, Atheist was to boot.
(For A. K. K.)
What distant mountains thrill and glow
Beneath our Lady Folly's tread?
Why has she left us, wise in woe,
Shrewd, practical, uncomforted?
We cannot love or dream or sing,
We are too cynical to pray,
There is no joy in anything
Since Lady Folly went away.
Many a knight and gentle maid,
Whose glory shines from years gone by,
Through ignorance was unafraid
And as a fool knew how to die.
Saint Folly rode beside Jehanne
And broke the ranks of Hell with her,
And Folly's smile shone brightly on
Christ's plaything, Brother Juniper.
Our minds are troubled and defiled
By study in a weary school.
O for the folly of the child!
The ready courage of the fool!
Lord, crush our knowledge utterly
And make us humble, simple men;
And cleansed of wisdom, let us see
Our Lady Folly's face again.

Secondly, you are way too invested in your parents' lives. How your father treats your mother and whether she accepts or not is none of your business. Distance yourself from this.
Thirdly, I'm not sure what you hope to gain by pointing out his flaws - nobody likes to have their flaws pointed out and a defensive reaction is absolutely normal.
Finally, you say that you don't make enough money to move out - I suggest you find a way of changing that and in the meantime that you spend as much time outside of the home as possible so that you can avoid ruminating over things.
Good luck.
PS - you might want to post this over on the relationships and coping board (but please, please, please break it up into paragraphs You need to hit enter twice to get a paragraph break).View Thread
Seems to me your boyfriend is a good guy and you are happy. In my opinion responsible and good people are responsible and good in all of their relationships.He is a good boyfriend and a good dad. I would suggest please hang in there. Things will work out. The child is 16. He can be left home on date nights. You can think of sleepovers with friends/family on weekends/special occasions/just for fun. Try to think of ways to maximise your time with boyfriend in the given situation. Most children move out of home and go on with their lives as they grow older(many good biological parents wait for this time-it is not selfish). So the situation is about to change not very far off in future. The situation is temporary but the boyfriend being good is permanent. I wouldnt walk out in this situation.
I have learnt that teaching a child new life skills can be done but it takes time, repetition, patience and being able to happily forgive if they dont learn quickly without losing my patience and respect/selfrespect .But it is very doable. If you want to teach new things to this child, I would suggest that try to teach one life skill at a time, just the way a new subject/topic is taught in school. Teaching someone many new things/life skills all at once can be overwhelming for them no matter how old they are. To start with, I would suggest that ask the child to do the simplest thing and after that skill has been learnt and assimilated only then start teaching the next skill- that is teach things one by one. And also when you ask him to do something be friendly sweet smiling happy nice gentle kind BUT if he doesnt do it or boyfriend intervenes be ready in your heart to forgive without resentment and have a face saving way out of situation anytime and everytime, and not stress yourself that the child was disobedient etc or that you are not respected. Disengage especially if it looks like a power struggle may start. Next day/week/month when the chore is required to be done, ask in a friendly nice sweet happy... manner the child again to do the same chore and be ready to forgive... . keep doing it. It will work out eventually. But it takes time and a friendly forgiving attitude. Children dont like doing chores and apprently this child has not been taught to do them. So you are teaching something new, doing chores- which is also not fun - so it will take some time. In my experience children are not purposefully disobedient , they just want to keep doing their fun activities or be lazy. But with handling children learn. You can think through this. Make a plan before-hand (just like a teacher ) and think through all possible scenarios, child's responses/actions and your boy-friend's too. If we want discipline around the home this is the happy stress-free way of getting it. Power struggles and punishments have not worked for me. Empathy and forgiveness have. Teenage is a very tough time on kids.
Regarding love and respect . It will be earned. When we love and respect a child and care about them from heart - given some time he will learn to love, respect and trust us. And believe me it happens. Listening to children without offering advise or being judgemental helps. I have seen that me being an elder respected friend is much better than being a step mom.
If it helps , I recently got married to my long time boy friend and we moved in together about 8 months ago.
I am a mom and in a very similar situation to yours. I have 100% custody of 15 yr old from my previous marriage and my husband has 50% custody of an 11 yr old from his previous marriage. His ex is a nightmare for the child and us. At present my husband struggles to understand and make it work with the elder son and I struggle and try to understand and make it work with the younger one. But we are happy over all. And I feel that despite the complications and struggles this is the best time of my life. And I see happier times ahead.
Blessings to you and your familyView Thread
the only reason I know about it is because they all trust me, since I was this boys attorney in placement hearings when his parents were killed in the accident that crippled him, and we had him and his sister placed with the grandmother. I know all the standard objections that almost everyone would have to this situation, but I wonder if there should be any credence to the kids own trend of thought that they are helping a friend in a way that really counts, even thou adults would not typically do it. opinions welcomeView Thread
now she is spending a lot of time with my son. she sometimes comes over in the evening when he is bathing, and walks right in to talk to him and wash his back. one time she washed him all over to show him how she washes her brother. he is circumcised and she finds it easier to wash. he got an erection also but she knows its normal and kept on washing it.
on Friday nights, she stays over since there is no school the next day. they stay up late with the tv and computer. long after I am in bed, they take a bath and go to bed. she sleeps in with him since we have no other beds and they are such good friends. he sleeps nude, but she wears panties. she has now started to give him a massage when they g to bed. he will lay on his stomach for 1/2 hour while she does the back, then he lays on his back for 1/2 hour while she does the front.
of concern I recently spoke with them to inquire if anything was going on that I didn't know about. they assured me all was well. I asked why she brings a towel to bed with them and she said it was to keep her hands dry while she does the massage. also, since she knows her brother sleeps nude, and that my son sleeps nude, she does now also. her logic was "since everybody else does, why not me". to which I somewhat agree.
they are very good kids, get along great, with no problems. any suggestions or comments, I am all ears.View Thread
Maybe a new therapist would be more helpful.
You need support and help, this is a very difficult, long haul and supports need to be in place. I hope his Case Manager is helpful.
Not sure if you've seen this resource page or not? But it looks to have some good info on it:
I totally understand how lonely and isolating it can be to have a child with special needs......keep up the good work and look for some in-person support groups you can attend for Parents of Children with Special Needs in your area.
Take care of yourself too!!

How can I connect? How can I get her out of the house without a fight?View Thread
I have anxiety about whether or not he is going to go to school or not! He is a bright kid, and states he enjoys school. could it be subconscious. My husband is convinced it is related to the combination of his "raging hormones" and taking the medication at night that causes this.
He is a gamer, so we can try and cut that down. I also spoke with him about cutting sugar out at night. may need to try the "no eating after 9pm" rule to see if that helps too.
Called school, and they did say a lot of GI stuff is going around, maybe he is just unlucky.
Thanks for letting me vent. any insight would be great!View Thread
1. She has no or very little attention span, and when she is bored she takes on the personality of a three year old. Lying on the floor babbling about nonsense, playing with stuffed animals... All of the characteristics of your average toddler. And she won't stop until she either gets tired or gets interested in something that keeps her active and functional.
2. She has sudden bursts of rage. She is about 5'6", and is a very strong athlete. Her childish behavior is out of character in a tall teenage girl, but her rage is terrifying. She abuses her mother (who I might add is a tad unintentionally antagonistic, I couldn't live with her), throws things across the room. She is destructive, and once the temper tantrums are over she secludes herself away for hours to a day.
She's behaved this way since we were toddlers together, but only recently did I become aware of the full extent that it had been, and also that her behavior hasn't changed AT ALL. She's had a tough life, and a predisposition to bipolar. I'm no doctor, but I have friends with the disorder who attest to similar symptoms. If anybody knows how I or my mother can help the two of them get through this then please comment.View Thread
- Just sharing my experience, as I have 3-adult daughters.....
Take care,
-KathleenView Thread
I am assuming that your son just treats you badly because he is a teenager (translate: for no apparent reason) and there is not some huge underlying issue that you simply failed to mention. I am also assuming that you have tried talking to your husband about talking to your son about this behavior to no avail. Ignoring the possible marital issue there, my suggestion is that your son needs to get a job, preferably in a restaurant or service industry. My daughter is also 16 and got a job this summer and WHAT a transformation!!! When kids start interacting in "real world" situations, they start to see that treating people well gets positive results, and treating people badly gets REALLY negative results REALLY fast! Just cut out the allowance and getting a summer job gets really appealing.
If that doesn't work, try some tough love. If neither your son nor your husband find it necessary for your son to give you any respect, then it may be time to stop doing the laundry, refilling the TP, and IF you are currently cleaning up after him in any way at age 16, Cut It OUT!View Thread
I am not divorced but have a lot of exposure to separated families, so I will give an opinion. I also ran this by my 16 year old daughter for a closer perspective to your 12 year old's situation.
First of all, as long as it is legally your right to have your kids stay with you for the summer months and you WANT them in your life, then we say that that is something that should happen. If you want your kids (all your kids) to get to know one another, spending time together in the summer seems to be your only option.
We also feel strongly that a whole summer unsupervised all day is unhealthy(idle hands...)for both kids, but especially for a 12 year old girl (12 - 15 is a very important and vulnerable time for a young girl, in fact you may want to ask her in a spirit of understanding, what her concerns are, or what she feels she will be missing out on...this may give you additional insight into where she is in her social development).
And the question of seeing mom and friends is really moot, because you pointed out that your Ex works full time. So unless they are spending the entire day with friends that won't happen (internet contact does NOT count) because sister needs to supervise brother, right?. Also, it is possible that your kids could develop friendships near your home as well.
On to the solution... Is it possible to bring them to stay with you for a part of the summer, such as just 3-4 weeks... with an option to extend? Then if they are having a good time, they may wish to stay longer.
We hope this helps... we are very passionate about young kids being supervised by interested and engaged parents!View Thread
