A win's a win - Bolton Howcroft
Well, I was picking the bones out of 'Ancrene Wisse', a 13th century masterpiece of Middle English prose - but what the hell - let's talk about proper words and stuff innit.
I've not travelled to The Howcroft for several months. A combination of inclement weather and that over familiarity that breeds many things - not least - an embryonic contempt. Not for what the evening represents - but for the event's venue and its unaccommodating 'regulars'. Those plebeians that stand hunched at the ba...
Liverpool's Most Romantic Poet 2010
On Wednesday 17th February, in the 3rd Room of the Everyman Bistro, sixteen poets performed poems on love, romance, lust, passion in front of a capacity crowd.
It was a fierce battle. The poets flirted, sweet-talked and wooed the audience in order to earn their votes. Poems such as Sex For the Over Sixties, A Passion For Celebrity Chefs, and Boyfriends to Avoid were met with laughter and applause.

Things I Did While I Was Dead
'Things I Did While I Was Dead' is the intriguing title of a new book by Rosie Garland (a.k.a. Rosie Lugosi), launched on 23rd February by Flapjack Press.
Powerfully articulating themes as diverse as relationships, serial-killers, and gender, this passionate and thought-provoking new collection showcases Rosie's affecting and award-winning poetry; and, as with her previous collections under the guise of her alter-ego – Rosie Lugosi, it has a deliciously determined bite.

Cork Spring Literary Festival
The Metropole Hotel in MacCurtain Street is the venue for this year's Cork Spring Festival which runs from 17th to 20th February 2010. The theme for this year's festival is sense of place.

What's this? Why, lubbers, it's a sea shanty, cribbed and condensed from the voicemail signatures of a thousand ship-to-shore radios, harvested over a half century of illicit eavesdropping. My shanty's about the problems encountered playing harmonica during bouts of hyperfluid, staggering seasickness. It also tells of the ruffle-haired Head Boy of the Ocean, a mythic individual blessed with Neptune's ability to shuf...

Had Field Will Travel
A review of Nigh-No-Place by Jen Hadfield.
There are many things to like about this book, not least the cover picture of one very aware horse in an open landscape, that we can only take to be part of the Shetlands.
What else is to like? Dogs. Jen Hadfield likes dogs too, they are everywhere, from 'Canis Minor' to the sign-off poem 'In the Same Way'. And it's not only dogs, we have sheep, cows, horses, not to mention huskies and a polar bear. We also have, predominantly, the weather.
Separated at Birth (by Geography and Time and Unrelatedness)?
Locked away in WOL's genetic engineering laboratories, the infamous Dr. Van Kinston has been experimenting with the DNA of famous poets past and present and has had some startling if disturbing results. In this feature his creations have been 'reborn' for all to see. Each amazing entity is a complex scientific merging of two different individuals and this new creation has developed poetic powers gleaned from its twin origins.
By examining both pictures and words, can you identify th...

Workshop exercise of the month
How to make your own poetry 'zine-type thing
First of all, for anyone who doesnât know, a zine is a booklet you make yourself of whatever you want, which you then photocopy the crap out of and either sell or give away. Sometimes you hear poets call them chapbooks, but whereas chapbooks smell like libraries and smoke pipes, zines wear big boots, dance hard and cure themselves of their own thrush with vegetables. Essentially the point of zines is that you can say what you want and get it out there without having to go through any middlemen...

Poetry's Biggest Secrets Finally Revealed: The Sonnet
The Masked Poet is a man on a mission to reveal to you poetry's most closely guarded secrets. He wears the mask to conceal his face, because if his fellow poets were to find out his true identity, he would almost certainly be asked to leave the poetic circle, called names, slapped about a bit and extroardinarily renditioned to Guantanamo bay for polite and reasonable questioning of the type that you just can't do in the civilised world. Last month he revealed to you the secrets of scansion ...

Poem of the month
The weight of cows
This month's poem was chosen by Norman Hadley. After trawling through all the profile he chose a short list of five but chose this poem because:
"The first three stanzas have a McGoughian lightness of touch soused with sharp observational humour and the veining of scientific detail marbles the meat of the poem. Mandy just gets you comfortable with her gentle playfulness before smarting your cheek with the well-merited slap of the final stanza."

Astral Weeks
This is a good exercise, I enjoyed doing it. All you do is listen to songs and interpret them innocently but not in depth.
Translations encourages you to play music and to write down the words you hear first, irrelevant of the original lyrics. Commonly, people do this all the time when singing along to songs. Having no idea of the words but, just saying what they think it could be.
I chose Van Morrison because the rhythms behind this song are driving and sustain lots of mad thinki...
Two Cinammon Poetry Collections
Quaintness and Other Offences, Ann Drysdale (Cinnamon Press, 2009)
The Shadow House Kathy Miles (Cinnamon Press, 2009)
Drysdale and Miles have different writing styles, however both poets tend to end-stop every stanza so there is no rolling on of the sound of the words. This was the greatest disappointment for me as I felt I was being pulled up short at regular intervals. Drysdale has an ear for sound but mainly for rhyme. She can be very witty and for those that like the...

Starting with this week's favorite is the "Telephone Remake," featuring "a couple of guys in Afghanistan." As the description says, these guys are "always on mission, [so] it is harder to film than you think."

From the President
Mystic Seaport Families
Over the past eight-plus decades, the Museum has thrived in part due to the tremendous leadership and generosity of a few dedicated multi-generational Mystic Seaport families that include: Mallory, Schaefer, Ridgway, Chubb, Vietor, duPont, and McGraw.
It is my pleasure to announce that the legacy of one such family has recently been honored. At the last meeting of the Board of Trustees, the decision was made to name the new gallery quadrangle in memory of Donald C. McGraw. Don's generosity over an 18-year period, coupled with that of his children, including current Trustee Robin McGraw, was significant particularly with respect to collections and endowment. For instance, Mr. McGraw bequeathed 24 James Buttersworth paintings to the Museum upon his death, creating then the largest single public collection of Buttersworths. The Donald C. McGraw Gallery Quadrangle designates the area where the seven traditional exhibition galleries sit at Mystic Seaport, all of which will be anchored by the new Thompson Exhibition Building (named in honor of the generous support of Wade and Angela Thompson).
It is important to note that two of the other exhibition buildings in this area carry Mystic Seaport family names, Mallory and Schaefer. The Mallory story first began with Clifford D. Mallory in 1929, a founding Trustee of the Museum, who began serving as President in 1937, followed by his brother Philip R. Mallory in 1941 as President, then followed by Clifford D. Mallory, Jr. in 1976 as President. And, Charles Mallory has continued the important legacy of his father, grandfather, and uncle by serving as a Trustee since 1990. The Mallorys were largely responsible for a significant shift in the mid-late 1960s period of transformation at the Museum with the opening of the Mildred C. Mallory Membership Building, and the P.R. Mallory Building to adjoin the existing C.D. Mallory Building. Also during this period the Museum built the G.W. Blunt White Building, and the Seamen's Inne (now known as Latitude 41°), and the duPont family contributed to this campus development, which included the Henry B. duPont Preservation Shipyard.
In the following decade, Rudolph "Rudie" J. Schaefer, III and his wife, Jane, were instrumental in building the R. J. Schaefer Building, nestled between the G.W. Blunt White Building and the Greenmanville Church. At the time, it was our most up-to-date and prized exhibition facility. The Schaefers were also involved with the development of the Maritime Gallery, situated at the south gate adjacent to the Museum Store. The Maritime Gallery has long been considered one of the finest retail galleries on the East Coast for maritime art. The Schaefer family is another inspiring example of multi-generational support and Board leadership at the Museum.
All institutions go through a variety of phases with respect to physical and programmatic development. Those very same institutions value from and require strong bold leadership as well as the financial resources to help the vision of the period become a reality. Mystic Seaport has benefitted mightily from a series of families, whose legacy can be seen in virtually all corners of the Museum. I am heartened by the emergence of new families who will hopefully create that continuity that is so important with respect to vision and implementation. I wish to acknowledge all the families who have been so engaged for so long, many of whom are not mentioned here, but who have also contributed to our long-term success. Please know that such multi-generation support, no matter how large or small, is valued, and that your consistent support gives us the confidence and resources to move forward.

Vine for two rail fence that I don't want to paint
I've got a two rail fence along the street in front of my house. I hate painting fences. I get paint everywhere. And I always get dirt in the paint when I go to do the bottom of the fence posts. So I am trying to decide what vine I want along the fence to cover it up so I don't have to paint. My house is 100 ft down from the fence and I can see it from the livingroom window. The area is full sun and dry. I'm working on a cottage garden styled yard. Is there a vine that you would suggest?
If you don't paint the fence, you will be replacing it in a couple years. That will be alot more work, and alot more money.
If you want a cottage style garden, I would paint it white.
Buy the best outdoor paint you can afford. (then you won't have to paint it again anytime soon).
If you still want the vine after painting it white, try a honeysuckle of some sort.
They are also evergreen in the winter in zone 8.
(most of them are) If you do plant a vine, make sure you can see out your driveway pulling out onto the road.
Good Luck!

The artist's depiction of a pine forest--opaque, mysterious, and alluring all at once. The style of thick painting, which gives the work a layered, textile-like quality, is characteristic of Klimt's work. This print is handsomely framed and ready to hang.
Gustav Klimt was an Austrian Symbolist painter and one of the most prominent members of the Vienna Secession movement. His major works include paintings, murals, sketches, and other art objects. Klimt's primary subject was the female body and his works are marked by a frank eroticism.

The brokers fee is typically paid for by the owner and you probably would not be able to negotiate a better position than the broker would be able to. There should be no reason why a broker should not be used to secure the transaction whilst there are numerous reasons as to why a broker should be used. Engage an attorney to review the terms of the lease contract.

Izamal is a small enough city to see by walking around but if you're in the mood to relax a bit and give your weary legs a rest, you can hire victorias or the horse-drawn carriages for a few dollars to ride around and see the city. We never did try to seat on the victorias since we had a rent-a-car and we were in the mood to walk around but I don't...more

Izamal Warnings and Dangers
I've mentioned in other tips that it is tough being a vegetarian in Yucatan State. Most restaurants do not have "vegetarian options". Some places might have queso fundido and handmade tortillas, or papadzules (a Yucatecan appetizer), but as a general rule most places do not have vegetarian entrees. On our first night, I didn't know what I was ordering, and got chicken. (I didn't see the word "pollo" anywhere.) On New Years' Eve, the restaurant with its prix fixe menu couldn't accommodate my request for no meat or fish. I even asked them to just bring me a plate of the steamed vegetables and I'd pay the same prix fixe, nothing fancy - the very same vegetables that accompanied the meat dishes - just no meat, but that was unheard of. They could not take the meat/fish off the plate. So on New Years Eve I ordered salmon and ate everything but the fish. In Celestun there was nothing on the menu that was vegetarian other than a cheese omelet, but I broke ranks and ordered ceviche (which was outstanding).
In Izamal, at Los Mestizos, the menu had English translations. I ordered the only item on the menu that appeared to be vegetarian. It had ingredients like onions, tortillas, peppers, cream and jam. OK, I know it sounds strange, but at least it was vegetarian. Or so I thought. Well, the jam was really ham. Ooops, typo there in the menu. So much for the English translation.Related to:

Izamal What to Pack
Miscellaneous: Tip, do not carry a pepper-spray on you on the hot humid weather of the Yucatan peninsula. I had one with me on my fanny-pack when it burst open and spilled all over my leg. Not a good sight. Nope, no hospitalization required, just get on the shower and wash the pepper away. It's irritating as hell though. Thank god it wasn't a bit above the affected region, for that would have hurt much more :).Related to:

Local Guidence Not a Necessity but Helps

So is there a preseason?
are we in a preseason now or did we hop right into season 3?
No we are in the preseason currently, before season 3 will start riot will be adding a ton of changes into the game such as the jungle remake, item remake, and changes to the summoners spells. Below are the links to the riot thread discussing the changes that will be occurring within the game over the next few weeks.
FeralPony and Roku Discuss Preseason Changes
Statikk Discusses Preseason Jungle Changes
I would assume that with all the changes that they are bringing into the game that they would reset elo at the end of the preseason, but I do not know for certain if they are or not since they have not mentioned anything about it yet.
Best bet is to look for a riot post on the frontpage of the LoL website.

Hi: 10° Lo:2°
By Tristan Harris Friday 08 August 2014 Updated: 08/08 09:25
A REDDITCH man who lost his baby daughter at just three weeks old has raised thousands of pounds for Acorns Children's Hospice.
Ed Baker's second child Heather was born with a congenital heart condition. At the time he lived in Hampshire where there was no local children's hospice and as a result Ed, his wife Tracy and their baby daughter were unable to get the support they needed.
"We had to travel from hospital to home and back again," Ed said.
"We were stuck on a hospital children's ward with no facilities for families.
"When the ward became full we had to take Heather home and administer morphine to her."
It was a tour of the Worcester hospice which inspired Ed to take up a three-year fund-raising campaign and the latest cheque he has handed over to the charity was for £659, taking the overall total to £9,000.
Ed, who is a technology specialist for Microsoft UK Ltd, has run the Wolverhampton and London marathons, several half-marathons and has taken part in other gruelling activities to raise sponsorship
Mandie Fitzgerald, fund-raising manager at the hospice which covers the three counties, said: "We are very grateful for all donations to help fund the work of the hospice."
Ed is also the communications officer for the Freemasons and a lot of the fund-raising has been through the Provincial Grand Lodge of Worcestershire.
Due to an arthritic hip Ed has retired from distance running but he hopes to regain his fitness and take on the three peaks challenge in 2015.

In recent years, there has been a rise in the awareness of mental disorders. OF TWO MINDS is a provocative and poignant look at the lives of compelling people living with bipolar disorder. A personal account of what it means to be bipolar, these extraordinary individuals describe the extreme highs and the depressing lows of the disease. With incredible stories including some told by those who were living with bipolar and didn't even realize it, this film is an important reminder that information is the best tool in awareness. From an artist who lived a secret life as a cross-dresser, to the bipolar couple trying to live with each other, to the journalist whose openness on YouTube paved the way for global understanding, OF TWO MINDS brings the viewer closer to a disease that many know little about. This important film will open your minds and your hearts. –T.W.

can vishy make a comeback???
He can, of course, but I think it's unlikely. His form lately, and for some time (the past year or more) has not been Championship quality. He's also at that age when guys commonly begin to lose their peak mental acuity, and usually a bit of their killer instinct as well. But then again, Botvinnik and Lasker were both champions at age 50...so who knows?

Trial Totems
Here are my first two trial totems. They are not very tall. Maybe they will grow as I get experience. Now I just hope I can get the pictures post
ed. Marylee
azcactusflower - Thank you for those kind words. I am finding that it is a lot harder than I thought it would be. I have been hitting the thrift shop and flea market and am getting quite a cache. I am really looking forward to warm weather and the garage sales. Now I have a purpose for buying. - Marylee
I also like the colors you've chosen ...are you going to put them in your gardens? Or will they be protected inside? I am just asking because many of us have learned to use those "large microwave round glass" for bottoms (stability) & then covered them with mulch or in flower beds so they don't show...much more stable.
I think you're doing great! You will have fun GS'ing this summer! TFS! Jeanne S.
Well, I'm glad I got to see your "whole album" cause now I'm jealous-- I love love love your saw blade!! The totems are great! The pink & greens one is lovely & the pink & clear is so cute with that cat or dog on top looking like it is ready to jump down. Great start on your totem making adventure. Jan
Jeanne, I am going to put my totems in my flower beds which go around my whole yard and my house. (the more flowers you have..the less grass you mow) I was going to use stakes in the ground and pvc pipe to stabilize the totems. The microwave bottoms sound good..I will keep that in mind.
Jan, I am glad you liked "my album" but I don't know what I did to get it there. I haven't seen that on other people's posts.
Thank you both for your nice comments. I have enjoyed reading everyone's posts and seeing the pictures. Marylee
I'm going nuts because our monitor is on the fritz and is very YELLOW. Ack! I can't tell the real colors of your totems but you sure have sum pretty pieces. Love your little birdy topper.
I had to look through your photo album after reading Jan's post. he-he If you click on one of your pictures above, it takes you to your Photobucket album. We are able to look through the other pictures you have in that album. I like the circular saw blade too.
Great job Marylee! Speaking from experience the first couple ones are always the most challenging. They are a bit harder to create then you might think. But, you've got the fever now so I can't wait to see your future creations. Going junking at the TS is my favorite weekly pass time. Best of luck!
You did a great job on your totems! Great color and shape combinations! But, unless you're going to put those on a post or pipe, take it from us...you will need a larger plate at the bottom or they will definitely fall over...a dinner plate will work fine or a microwave plate...I would hate to see them get broken...it will be easy to do as well.
Great job and thanks for sharing them with us!
luna llena feliz, chevy57red and marlene - Thank you for your comments. I am going to put these on pipe but am waiting for spring. We still have snow everywhere. I haven't glued them together yet because I figured it was easier to keep the pieces stored until I can attach them and put them outside. I am also going to try some with the heavy microwave dishes for bases. I am so ready for spring! Marylee
