Music Says
You can plan and dream
You can craft your future
Like a child with a toy
And still
When the moment comes
When you find the experience
Stepping up to greet you
You're never ready
You're never prepared
For the first kiss of reality
The bright light in the darkness and the sound
Of recognition that
Tugs the corners of your mouth into a smile
And you can wade into the sea
With all the other travelers
Writing music
From the edge of your heart
Catch your breath and just
Go deeper
The ragged edge of anticipation
Sinks into Friday night
Like a long lost friend
Realizing the interval
Between the dream of love
And its negation is as thin
As a whisper of air
In a cracked doorway
You can almost dare yourself to cross the boundary
And entertain the unadorned idea –
It could be (no, really) – it might be –
Just stop and close your eyes
No act of will allowed
You got to take a breath
And what do you do
When someone asks you to make a memory?
It has to be an endless sort of idea –
Nothing flashy or fly by night –
You just have to give yourself
The time to think
And remember good times by the fire
Golden light speaks in a
Universal language
There's a certain feeling as you're lying in bed
Your arm splayed out to the night
And the molecules in your hip
Are settling
And you remember your body
As a familiar home
I'm telling you now, give thanks for it
Keep track of it
And when that sense of wonder
Comes upon you – when it fills your lungs
And makes your heart beat faster,
It's not just your
Don't we all love fiction?
You know you get drawn into it
Even against your will
Ain't it fine?
Ain't it worth it?
What's really weird is
People laugh at stuff I've actually done
On a serious tip
Sometimes it takes years
To be able to laugh at yourself
It takes a stranger
To see the advantages, don't it?
I'm glad I stepped over that threshold
I'm glad I fell
I'm glad I took the chance
To make that mistake
I'm glad I have the old scars
That turned into some kind of
Elegant tattoo (who knew?)
Are jubilation and resignation
Two sides of the same coin?
Perhaps a slight adjustment
To choose heads or tails
I know what my secret is
I know how to keep a fire going
It's something I learned in my old age
How to cup my hands around
The base of the flame
And feed it with the
Ineffable joy of non-attachment
Someone who can hold himself
Who can hold himself back
What I'd give
You can smile and say
A lot with such a one
In a small space
And let the water plunge
Over the waterfall
On its own course,
That desire that builds up,
We knew it all our lives
It's not feigned nor forced
What people call destiny
Is just what can't be sidestepped
No matter how hard
You did or didn't try
(May 15, 2015)

Happiness isn't distraction
True happiness doesn't necessarily smile
It comes from a deep sense of place
And understanding
The mystical golden sunset
Sinks behind the charcoal trees
Under the dark cerulean clouds
Of an uncertain Spring
The little bird
Sings his same
Three notes
Outside my window
Soon I'll cut vegetables
And add to the soup
With coriander and turmeric
For company
If company
Is too strong a word
Then sustenance
Will do
I didn't see the art exhibit
Or the sand mandala today
But the sky etched into my consciousness
A man below
Sings the same
Three notes to
Entice the bird
I salute him silently
Without words
And he disappears
Into the elegant trees.

A Birthday for Margaret
Even her freckles have freckles
That was a phrase someone said when I was young
I think of my mother
Whose skin is always happy
Like a summer day
Not overly freckled like a devoted sunbather
More like a sprinkling of fairy dust
She will smile and the world
Has to smile back
She seems to have enough love
To fill the room, the yard, the road, the town
And all for miles around
And then beyond that to the open fields
And to countries her feet have never touched
It's the mark of an open heart
To frown at injustice
And just as quickly to apply the remedy
My mother has a remedy for every ill
She taught me home medicine before it was in style
She taught me tolerance and progressive thought
Before they were commonplaces in the land
She wears her age with ease
It seems her face just gets more beautiful
Her walk more steady
Her hands more sure
Her voice more lilting
All those experiences and memories
Don't seem to crowd her at all
Maybe it's her energy
Like lighting in the springtime
She can jump to a topic or activity
What would you like for dinner
Let me read you this article
Do you need a sweater
We should visit our old friend
People think ninety is a ripe age
But Mom hasn't ripened yet
She's like a magical tree
Still bearing fruit
That's ever-young
And the twinkle in her eye
Is well-earned
She wears her beauty naturally
Like her hair never colored
Her eyes free of makeup
She never shows an ordinary vanity
Yet when she looks in the mirror I'm sure she sees
The Fairy Queen herself
Looking back.

I have three impressions after touring Walla Walla High School's science building.
1) We are fortunate to have such well-trained, energetic and dedicated science teachers as the ones I met Thursday night. They support each other's teaching and share common spaces and equipment. And they are proud to be teaching at Wa-Hi.
2) There is no wasted or unused space in the building. Classrooms and labs are crowded. Closets and storerooms are packed. There is no room for expansion or for students to carry out special projects.
3) The building is obviously obsolete. It is way behind in meeting modern standards for basic needs of safety, lighting, ventilating and air conditioning, human traffic flow, let alone contemporary expectations for lab science instruction.
Although their appearance is not shabby, all the classrooms and labs are well-worn. The faculty and staff have done a remarkable job of keeping this building going. They have already attempted lab upgrades to a few rooms, by making lab spaces from former classrooms, with marginal success.
Infrastructure throughout the building is archaic. Improving each service one by one might seem prudent and cost effective; but taken together each improvement entails all the others. Attempting to renovate will be tantamount to rebuilding the entire facility.
It's time to build a new lab science building, and re-purpose the old one to non-lab science uses.

Twenty-six-year-old Katie Macauley has placed all her hope in Hope Springs, a small town in the 1870 Wyoming Territory. But if she wants to return home to Ireland to make amends with her estranged family, she'll need to convince the influential Joseph Archer to hold true to his word and keep her on his payroll as his housekeeper - despite her Irish roots. The town is caught in an ongoing feud between the "Reds" - the frontiersmen who would rather see all the Irish run out of town and the Irish immigrants who are fighting to make a home for themselves in the New World.
When Joseph agrees to keep Katie on ash is housekeeper, the feud erupts anew, and Katie becomes the reluctant figurehead for the Irish townsfolk. As the violence escalates throughout the town, Katie must choose between the two men who have been vying for her love - though only one might be able to restore hope to her heart.

"Absolutey Wonderful"
This is the best book I have listened to in a very long time and that is really saying something!!!! I am so glad I listened to this one, instead of reading it. Great Job Sarah Eden and Cassandra Campbell.
This book is not just a romantic story, although it has a very sweet love story involved, but it has a great overall story behind it. I loved the characters and the learning and growing they do throughout the story. I loved the Irish history, something that was new for me. I was sad when it ended and wish the author would keep the story going for longer. Maybe book 2 :) !! I loved the characters and would be interested in seeing how life plays out in their future.
The performance was incredible and I enjoyed listening to all the voices she used for each character, none were annoying!!!!! The accents were awesome!
Joseph. I want to know more of his history with his wife.
Best audio book I have listened to in a long time!!!!
I sure would. It was such a great story.
Man, there were too many. I don't know!
The Irish accents for sure!
I did tear up a bit at one part.
So far, my favorite book from this author. It is going to have a sequel that I already can't wait for. The story is definitely not over yet!!!
"wonderful story. wish that it would continue more."
Wonderful book. Wish they would continue with another book. Possibly her going back home. Boston right before she gets married, her fiance dies. through morning and loss, her mother comes to her. Then she finally mary's joseph's.
"Love this book!"
The narrator was exceptional. Couldn't put it down! I would definitely recommend this book. Can't wait to listen to more from the same author.
"Sarah Eden delivers again"
Great soft love story of our Western history. Can't help but realize the greatness of those who made this country great, as well as those who made life difficult wherever they lived
I love clean books of all sorts. Love mysteries, fantasies epic to kids stories, fairy tales, romances, humor, and historical fiction
"A wonderful Historical Romance with a cliff-hanger"
This is a new series for Sarah Eden and a great love story about a town with wonderful characters. I cared about the characters so much in this story. You ache over the losses of the 3 main characters, Tavish, Katie and Joseph. They have all been through personal tragedies and have come out scarred. They each have secrets and a desire for a mended life. Their little town on the frontier has its difficulties. It is a very well-written love triangle. I will say that you have to have the 2nd book to know who she ends up with but the second book is written and available. Ms. Eden's books are so good, all of them, that I buy them the first week they are out and pay full-price. Not only that, but I purchase them in audio, for kindle and in paperback. Most of them are friends I will read again and again. She writes clean romances which is an absolute rarity. This is clean and with only a mention or two of prayer or Church.
Combine the fiery Irish tempers with the calming influence of an arbitor, as well as love for land and country and severe prejudice and you have a story of the old west and passionate story of a frontier town. Add to that a sweet Irish lass terrified of children, with an influential east coast businessman turned farmer with 2 children needing care, and a handsome Irishman farmer trying to win the only girl that's caught his eye since his love died years ago and you have a poignant, sweet and joyous story of the old west. These characters are so well-drawn that you love and care for them immediately.
If you haven't read any of Sarah Eden's books before, start here. In her series she will take peripheral characters from the one book and make them major characters in her next book with glances at the original characters from the previous books. You might want to look for The Kiss of a Stranger or Seeking Persephone. Both are award winning books and excellent. My sister is reading some of these books for the first time and loves them. My father picked up Seeking Persephone, it was something my sister brought to read, and read it through. He really enjoyed it. Sarah Eden is an excellent author all the way around. You won't be disappointed.
"Enjoyed book, even though I'm not a romance fan."
Held my interest.
Joseph because his struggles were as big as any ones but he deals with them in a manner best for the community instead of himself.
Mom Weave
"Wonderful but sad story."
Definitely. I loved this book, and the characters completely engaged me. I come from Irish stock, and I know the history of their terrible treatment in America. I listened to the audiobook, and my husband would catch pieces of it. He was appalled. Exactly. The narrator was wonderful!
This book has a resolution, of sorts, but it's obvious the tale's not finished. I'm not a fan of love triangles, and this book is one of the reasons why. Eden has created two really excellent men. Know that story is not going to end well for one of them broke my heart.
I had some issues with the logic of some of the characters, but that could have been as much foibles of humanity as anything else. I'm only frustrated because I have to wait for the next book to come out in audiobook too!
"Good Clean Romance"
Loved this book although I feel like she didn't wrap everything up there were some things left undone at the end.
great job narrating.
Is there another book after this?
As far as audiobooks go this one was fantastic. The narrator did a great job. I love Sarah's books but I think this one was one of the best. (And it's going to have a sequel so the story keeps going) which makes it even better!
It was similar to any of Sarah's other books, except that this happened in the American West and not regency England. I wouldn't compare it to the others I've read about the west, this one was infinitely better.
I liked what Tavish was willing to give up for Katie. But I won't say more because I don't want to spoil anything. The book is still left wide open and a lot of the issues weren't resolved and I"m guessing won't be until the sequel comes in Spring 2014.
It's Amazing Sauce! ;) I'm no good at tag lines
I'm from Wyoming so I could appreciate a lot of the descriptions Sarah used. Plus I am also a regency writer so I follow her work closely (and love it.) I think she did a wonderful job jumping over to a new style of historical romance. She is a wonderfully uplifting writer and I enjoy her stories more than any other historical romance novelist out there right now.
The narrator did a great job. I think capturing the irish accent was tough but she did okay doing it! I'll definitely look for other books by her.

Judge Kenneth Karas set a complicated schedule for motions — a short-term schedule for legal challenges to the indictment and a long-term schedule, reaching into January, for other motions such as attacks on the evidence.
Defense teams have been looking through the government's evidence since April, and Kramer said, "The deeper we delve into this case the more confident we are of the outcome."
Much of the evidence comes from recordings made by an undercover FBI agent and a cooperating witness. Kramer would not say whether he planned to allege entrapment.
The motion schedule ensures there won't be a trial at least until early next year.
Prosecutor Douglas Bloom said he feared such a long delay "could be against the public interest." Karas then warned the lawyers, "If anyone wants an extension of time, they're going to have to make a compelling case."

DEFINITION of 'Ghetto'
A run-down urban area primarily inhabited by a single minority group. Ghettos are often characterized by high unemployment, high crime, gang activity, inadequate municipal services, widespread drug use, high rates of dropout from school, broken families and an absence of businesses. As a result, real estate value in ghetto communities are generally much cheaper than in other communities.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Ghetto'
Ghettos may be identifiable by physical characteristics such as large numbers of poorly maintained buildings, large amounts of graffiti, trash or debris accumulated in the street or on properties, and weedy vacant lots. Racial zoning laws, mortgage lending discrimination and income disparity contributed to the creation of many ghettos in the United States in the mid-20th that still persist to this day.

I thought this would be a great thing, but boy was I wrong! Did not feel any energy or anything, (didn't really expect to but was hopeful) liked the look and color. The magnetic clasp came undone several times, and I finally lost it for good. No big loss, but too expensive!Read More

Unfortunately it is too big for my wrist and I have to keep pushing it up on my arm so that it doesn't flop around. Can't say that I notice a difference yet, but i'm going to stick with it. Can't hurt!Read More
It can be a little difficult to remove due to the strength of the magnet. It has never fallen off. I can't say I've noticed a difference in my wrist yet (in August), but I have more difficulties with my wrists in cold weather.Read More
Since, the arrival some 4 weeks ago I have felt less pain and more balance. Whether it is a placebo effect or not I definitely feel an improvement in myself. I liked this product so much I bought another 8 for my family and friends.Read More

I have had my bracelett since the end of August, and feel no diffferent at all.

"But really you guys, for all the buildup this project has received here, only one night run for three hours? Come on. It was packed. Give everyone a chance to see them. Why not put them up somewhere for a while?"
Ditto. As much as LJWorld hyped this event, I feel like there should be a display somewhere that will last for more than an evening.
I'm sure these comments won't change anything, but it would be nice if they actually did something. Though, overall it was a great event. Nice work, LJWorld.

We were overwhelmed and amazed with the positive turnout. We expected a crowd but not nearly the crowd we got. As evidenced by how many times we had to reprint the guides. We're checking with the Watkins museum and the Library to see if they'd be willing to play host to the exhibit this winter for an extended period of time.
We'll let you know when we have an answer!

Why not make copies of the presentation and sell them to raise money for a local charity? I would have bought a copy. It was a great exhibit, if not a little crowded.
kernal 3 years, 10 months ago
Tried to see the exhibit last night, but the line wasn't moving, there seemed to be confusion about where the line started, which direction it was going and some people inside couldn't get to the door to leave. After observing all that for a few minutes, I left. Hope to see it somewhere else in town.

In the first four months of 2015, 1,770 Africans and Asians drowned on their way to Europe. With the death toll in the Mediterranean rising by the thousands, the European Union has showed once again that it is ready to pay the price of lives lost at sea in order to maintain the myth of sovereignty over its borders.
REINFORM cordially invites you to a discussion over the human rights cost of the EU closing the gates to unwanted outsiders, and the fair distribution of refugees in the European Union.
Big part of the mainstream media engaged in a debate over the damage caused by the "huge" migration flows to Europe. They did not hesitate to weigh the struggle for survival of people fleeing persecution, war, and need, against the complaints of discomforted tourists in the Greek holiday islands.
We wish not only to raise an alternative voice, but also to question underlying assumptions and stereotypes: Why is the movement of people from the South to the North "illegal"? What are the implications of the Dublin system? What is the human rights cost of border policing? What forms of resistance are possible?
Mariana Gkliati, PhD researcher, Leiden University
Joke Kaviaar, migration activist, AAGU

The discussion will be moderated by

Ryan plan attacks middle class
Mitt Romney has picked an extreme, radical V.P. running mate. If you haven't heard of Paul Ryan and his budget, you better check it out.
The Paul Ryan budget proposes the elimination of Medicare as we know it. It will no longer be a fee for service, at a negotiated low rate. Contrary to what R&R are saying, the $700 billion in cuts to Medicare were for "non-essential." These are administrative cuts that affects insurance and drug companies, not plan recipients.
The Ryan Plan has always had the same cuts, but it pays for the tax cuts (partially) of the very wealthy. It would be rolling the dice to change Medicare to a voucher/coupon plan.
Social Security would be privatized. That's what we need to do, turn over the fund to Wall Street. It would cost $2 trillion to move the plan to the private sector. Ryan does not address this cost.
"Simplification" of the tax code means that the mortgage interest, property tax credits are eliminated, costing middle class families $2,000 in additional taxes. At the same time, capital gains taxes would be eliminated and the tax rate for the wealthy cut from 35 percent to 25 percent. Mitt Romney would pay no taxes.
Medicaid and food stamps would be decimated. Fifty percent of nursing home costs are borne by Medicaid. I guess we throw the elderly out on the street.
As far as education is concerned, this budget cuts Pell Grants, destroying any hope for a college education for thousands. Mitt Romney's answer is to "ask your parents for help."
The icing on the cake is that this plan would cost $4 trillion to $5 trillion over 10 years because it favors the very wealthy, corporations, and the military.
Joann Avery, Poland
Sure, because in the hands of government, things run so much better than they do in the hands of the private sector. We already know Obama cut $750 billion from Medicare already to pay for ObamaCare. Why shed any light on something that has already happened?
You want to know who is screwing the seniors? The Obama supporters better take a good look in the mirror.
I love how we throw around words like 'Wall Street", "very wealthy", and "corporations" to illustrate a very populist viewpoint. Because that is all the Obama Campaign has left, to make this campaign about "us versus them", "rich versus poor".
Take the populist and race bating campaigning back to Chicago where it belongs, we do things differently here.
Cong. Paul Ryan's plan to fix Medicare will not affect those 55 years of age or older. Medicare as we currently know it will be bankrupt by 2030. Maybe we should twiddle our thumbs like out timmie ryan and hope that iMedicare fixes itself.
The United States (as we know and love it) will collapse due to the tremedous economic burden of its debt and deficits. At least Paul is addressing the problem.
s/ A Catholic against Obama
Those administrative cuts are cuts in reimbursements, which will affect services to patients.
Just because someone proposes a plan does not automatically mean that the plan would be implemented. Start with a plan, then through compromise determine the best course of action to take. At least Ryan has OFFERED SOMETHING, which is something that Obama has not done. He even dismissed the findings of his own Debt Commission. He wants to kick the can down the road, and Joann fully supports that strategy.
Social Security and Medicare, while noble in principle, are not sustainable under the current system. Within 20 years, they will consume every dollar tax revenue taken in. That will leave nothing for defense, infrastructure, law enforcement, jails, etc. All one need do is to look at the failed systems in Europe to see the end result. I give Ryan credit for taking on a serious challenge.
Walter, I give Ryan credit for bringing the subject up and putting forth a plan but he fails because he doesn't address the costs of healthcare. Giving people a voucher that doesn't cover their care because prices rise isn't a solution.
The cost of healthcare must level off or be reduced for any plan to be viable.
DwightK Just how do you propose lowering or stopping prices from rising? I'm sure you don't want someone telling you what prices you can charge for your services. Its a free world market based on profit, not on gov't price setting. Let's face it, The Gov't won't set the prices that are reasonable, what makes you think they can with healthcare. Its nothing more then a tax scheme, the higher the price, more taxes collected.
I can't wait for that debate between Biden & Ryan, or is it between Hilary & Ryan? Ryan will chew up Biden & spit him out.
There should be 2 L's in Hillary. Sorry.
No doubt the dramatic rise in cost needs to be addressed. Fine. Hang a LOT of lawyers as a good start, and continue with Tort Reform.
We all see those ads on TV, the tort-feasing shysters trolling with the "you may be entitled to significant compensation" claims. Where do you think that money comes from? A magic dollar tree? It gets added to the costs your doctor, your hospital, pharmacy, drug company, all, add to YOUR bill. How do you think that worthless philanderer, John Edwards, got rich? Sleazy lawyering, that's how.

Hey, team members! Some great reference has been posted already. I'll add to the pile.

Sweet, Moai! Glad to have you aboard been following your work since I first got here.
Ready to kick some ass...
July 30th, 2009 #13
memo to Moai~
all three of us are on MSN brainstorming tonight, hope you can get on with us tomorrow night~ we're like constantly asking, where's Moai? when will he get on MSN with us...so...here's my MSN ID:
feifei_w[at]hotmail[dot]com add me so we can chat.
anyway, just a short memo for you, so you'd know what we're talking about... between constant sidetracks about various unrelated subjects (such as frog legs, grasshoppers, some guy's girlfriend, star war, MMO....) we did come up with some sort of idea:
1, instead doing people, it might be interesting to create a humanoid (or non-humanoid) alien race. So it'll be some kind of sci-fi theme.
2, this alien race could be a combination between feather/fur and fish/reptile.
3, we want to mix up different ethnic costumes with this race (that's why all the costume reference).
4, this reptile race is cold blooded creature, but living in a cold environment, so they'll need constant heating system, or they'll be easily frozen to death.
that's about what we came up with tonight... so we decided to go and draw some concept sketch and see if this idea works. If we can't come up with cool sketches, then we need to change concept.
and we also come up with something that we decided to stay away:
punk, steam punk, goth, high fantasy (you know the lord of the ring type, pointy ear fantasy), general european style, Mass Effect style space marine, Blade runner style...
and Burtzum specially emphasis on "weird". we want to create something unique, weird, mixed up, mismatch, bizarre...
so that's about sums up what we brainstorming tonight...Hope you can join us tomorrow~~~I'm sure you'd have some cool ideas as well.
and once again, those faces are cool~~~

had seen some negative comments about this hotel. they were correct loud music from 10 am till 9pm then 2 hrs. of karkoke. losy food .worst hotel I ever stayed in mexico. save your money. don't go there.
Very good service treated well room very clean bartentender the best all staff very good Would stay there tomorrow if i had more holidays Thumbs up Would give this hotel 4 out of 5 on service and cleanliness .The best a Canadain would ask for . The waitress and bar staff could not find better .
Do NOT go here. Just returned yesterday after a week there. The bartender was great, only one who spoke English there and he went out of his way to help everyone. Our room was pretty nice for the money, but we were lucky and got a corner junior suite. Otherwise the place is worn down, looks like they are working...
This place is a total dump--we booked on expedia and paid for 7 days--we stayed for 3 days-no hot water-ever- started the day with a nice cold shower--dirty-disgusting room-it was all inclusive-- supposed to be 2 restaurants--only 1 open-my wife wanted a glass of wine-hotel did not have wine-unbelievable-on the morning of the 3rd day--we saw a cockroach in our...

Following my last Diary on why I support hunting, a reader from Bourne End in Buckinghamshire was quick off the mark. He asked, quite reasonably, how it was that so many Labour MPs could find foxhunting unacceptable and barbaric yet support two indefensible wars leading to the deaths and maiming of thousands of Arabs and Afghans, as well as hundreds of courageous British servicemen and women? The doublethink doesn't end there, of course: we shouldn't forget the masterstroke by David Cameron, who let the "enemy" in Afghanistan know, two years in advance, about British withdrawal and thus allowed them plenty of time to plan and regroup. Simply bewildering.
Dear Dave was out of his depth again quite literally at Christmas, expressing concern over flooding. Before condemning local councils and the Environment Agency, shouldn't somebody take him to one side and explain that all the planned building on flood plains and watersheds by his manic minister Nick Boles will simply lead to even more regular and spectacular flooding? Indeed, the proposed development south of the once beautiful city of Cambridge means that all the resulting run-off will flow northwards, via the River Cam, through the narrow centre of the city itself. It could almost be called "The Planned Inundation of Cambridge", but never mind: fat pensions and OBEs to all those planners involved no doubt. I hope the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge got flippers and snorkels for Christmas.
How did Britain manage to lumber itself with three such dreadful party political leaders? Cameron, Clegg and Milibland – oh dear. Then of course there is Nigel Farage. I know Nigel Farage well: he came to my wedding nine years ago and I wish he hadn't. I was asked the other day whether I would buy a second-hand car from Nigel Farage. Sorry, Ukip supporters: I wouldn't buy a new car from Nigel Farage.
Mention of flooding reminds me that there is so much water in the Fens at the moment that if it turns cold there will be plenty of ice skating. Now I have to announce something extremely sad. Although the Winter Olympics are approaching, I am going to retire from Fen skating. The problem is that my "speed" skates are blunt and I don't know how to sharpen them. For those who don't know, a skate has two edges which both need to be sharp (the blade actually slices through the ice) whereas blunt skates simply slide over it leaving you out of control. In the old days there were plenty of ol' boys around who knew how to sharpen skates but alas, no more.
My old father skated well into his seventies on blunt skates. The last time, he fell and brought several other skaters crashing down on top of him. It was a very entertaining sight, but in any approaching freeze-up I don't want to cause similar mayhem so am bowing out now – reluctantly, but with no bones broken.
One of the highlights of 2013 happened over Christmas, and it had nothing to do with the excellent free-range turkey I helped to eat. The best present came every day when I was feeding the cattle. It was the cheerful chirping of a house sparrow, the once-common sparrow that is now often uncommon, but not just one, several. Welcome back old friends, what a pleasure. But where did you go and why?
Was it predation or some avian epidemic that saw them almost completely disappear? Certainly we do not suffer grey squirrels and magpies around the farm buildings, but surely there is more to it than that. I have no idea why exactly they're back, but it is something that has happened almost countrywide. What is even more odd is the fact that through times of sparrow plenty, sparrow scarcity and now the sparrow's return, my farming has hardly changed.
Nature poses many questions and gives numerous answers that even those "experts" with huge research grants seem unable to comprehend: the house sparrow and the turtle dove being just two birds throwing up mysteries. I will return to the mystery of the turtle dove in the spring.
Another mystery is the National Trust's take on "democracy". The administration of the National Trust (NT) is overseen by a number of trustees (12) and a council. The council is made up of 52 members, half elected and half appointed. I am an elected member but failed to get elected until the mathematics of those controlling the proxy vote system that was then in place did their arithmetic incorrectly.
In the autumn the NT needed a new deputy chairman, who has to be a member of the council. So the establishment's choice decided to be re-elected onto the council at the annual elections held for the membership. Oh dear, the only problem was that he failed to get elected; he lost the election. Ah, but he needn't have worried; as the CBI had yet to appoint their representative, they immediately appointed our defeated deputy chairman as their representative – wheels within wheels.
So behind closed doors, to secure comfort zones, this so recently discarded deputy chairman was quickly reappointed as deputy chairman, by a majority vote. Democracy at first lost, then won. This system of course is the well known party game played regularly in Britain by those who know best, "Metropolitan Musical Chairs". An interesting question: if the National Trust introduces a democratic "principle" into its procedures and then ignores the outcome, does the result become "unprincipled"?
The director general of the National Trust herself, Dame Helen Ghosh, has also benefited from Metropolitan Musical Chairs. She simply moved sideways from her top job in the civil service to her £170,000 charitable job at the National Trust. While she was Permanent Under Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, Britain received hefty fines for late payment of the absurdly complicated and bureaucratically bewildering Single Farm Payment Scheme. Never mind. All's well that ends well. Gosh!
Not only is the NT's take on democracy interesting, so is its take on free speech. Several hill farming tenants of the Trust in the Peak District are currently up in arms about what the NT grandly calls its "High Peak Vision". "The vision" appears to have been driven in part by Natural England – that well known quango that a couple of years ago involved itself in a ridiculous, failed project to introduce sea eagles to East Anglia. I would love to know the full extent of the current "vision", but despite being a council member, the National Trust refuses to let me serve on its Natural Environment Panel. Perhaps, if instead of being a peasant farmer I had gained a PhD with
"The influence of Metropolitan Musical Chairs on British Society", things would have been so different.
As I understand it, some tenants have been told that they must not lobby against what they see as the "NT's lack of a High Peak Vision".
If any of those tenants would like to contact me over their fears and grievances in complete confidence, please write to me c/o The Daily Telegraph at 111, Buckingham Palace Road, London SW1W 0DT or email me at email@example.com.

Traditional trust management schemes developed for wired and wireless ad hoc networks are not well suited for sensor networks due to their higher consumption of resources such as memory and power. In this work, we propose a new lightweight group-based trust management scheme (GTMS) for wireless sensor networks, which employs clustering. Our approach reduces the cost of trust evaluation. Also, theoretical as well as simulation results show that our scheme demands less memory, energy, and communication overheads as compared to the current state-of-the-art trust management schemes and it is more suitable for large-scale sensor networks. Furthermore, GTMS also enables us to detect and prevent malicious, selfish, and faulty nodes.

With a gestation period shorter than an elephant's, that first metro column has finally seen light of day. Wound up chucking the prepared ones, and jumping on the news, Endless Summer style.
Bill Burd had said on the phone that his brother was fading in and out, but if I showed up at Einstein maybe Frank could answer a question or two from me about being assaulted by one of his students whose iPod he'd confiscated. Turned out, Frank Burd had an hour of great clarity - and excruciating pain - as he talked about what it was like to teach math at Germantown High School. Like leading struggling students through the desert, he said - only to be attacked by a member of his party.
Here's a link to column No. 1. Entertaining ideas for future subjects. Plenty of phone lines open. And no commercials.
Daniel Rubin
I wanted to thank you all for the heart-felt and snarkolicious comments. It's clear a bunch of you got used to reading this space, and aren't happy that it's been shuttered, de-listed from Philly.com. Lots have written about the paper's blindness regarding Blinq. I don't think they were blind. They just knew a metro column takes time to develop, and wanted me to start off as strong as possible. Would they be happy if I did both? Don't even think about it.
The hardest part of preparing to write a column has been trying to think in 17 to 18 inches. Blinq was pretty eco-friendly, requiring the sacrifice of no trees. There was no limit as to how much or how long I could write. A column is haiku in comparison. The trick is to find the right angle that serves the subject best, and I don't mind saying this has not been easy for me yet. The first draft of the first column didn't have the clear lines and blythe spirit of a good blog post. It came out like fettucine szechuan. I've written two columns so far. One has required four re-writes, and that's before being red-pencilled by the Sith Lord who edits me. And I'm not done with it. The other came easier, thank God. Maybe this week we'll launch. Be kind - I know who you are. Later.
I'm a little sad that someone else is sending you "red pencil" emails these days. I know I was lax some days and no doubt things slipped by me, but I caught at least some of the typos, etc. Now there's a Sith Lord editing your copy? Somehow it just doesn't seem right.
Daniel Rubin
Tie a toe-tag on Blinq. I'm getting ready to start another assignment here at the Inquirer.
For those of you who have checked in regularly - hi, Mom and Citizen Mom - you are the reason I've kept such odd hours, failed to maintain any firewall between my work time and family time, and know what's up with Terrell Owens. (Not so much since hugging it out with Donovan McNabb at a Super Bowl party in Miami.)
What I'm moving on to is the metro desk, taking a crack at being a local columnist. Talk about your old media.
Daniel Rubin
I'm on assignment, and so won't be posting anything today, but I managed to milk that Brokeback Snickers ad one more time, and was asked to talk about it on NPR's Talk of The Nation yesterday. So I did, and here's the link. My son says I stopped saying all those "Ums" after a few minutes. I think I wound up sounding as if I'm to the left of the lesbian comic from San Francisco.
Something to read while listening? (or while not listening) Former Penn State and NBA player John Ameachi becomes the first pro basketball player to declare himself gay. Grant Hill applauds the decision. LeBron James comes off a little less open-minded. Some Sixers quoted, including the injured Shavlik Randolph, a Duke grad, who said he's fine with homosexuality on the courts, "as long as you don't bring your gayness on me."
Never should have let him eat those Snickers
Daniel Rubin
Can I get a little help here? With the permission of my wife, I am posting a photograph of the wallpaper that's adorned our downstairs washroom for some time.
When's it from? Who's the designer or manufacturer? Who'd have their bathroom papered with faux bookshelves stocked with such titles as Sapho, Sade and Les Fleurs du Mal.
Other than the Rubins.
Daniel Rubin
We need to go back for one more bite of that Snickers Super Bowl ad.
Monday a blogstorm kicked up over the ad that showed two mechanics fighting over a Snickers bar and inadvertently kissing, with the largest gay civil rights group calling on the Mars Inc., the candy company, to pull several alternative endings and related material from its Web site.
And before the day was done, the material had been pulled, as were plans to show one of the alternate endings during the Daytona 500 telecast.
Daniel Rubin
Shaun Mullen at Kiko's House marks what would have been the 62nd birthday of Bob Marley with an in-depth look at his life and discography, including the news, to me, that the Jamaican reggae great once lived in Wilmington, Del., and worked a shift at the Chrysler plant.
"At 9 a.m. EST, officially it was 13 degrees colder at Philadelphia International Airport than it was in Anchorage, Alaska." This news comes from Tony Wood, Inquirer Renaissance man and climatic connoisseur, who has started a new site called Weather or Not.
Daniel Rubin
Prince's commanding half-time show at the Super Bowl has seeded a spike in searches for stats about His Purpleness.
No 1 query, according to Yahoo! Index Buzz: How old is Prince?
No. 2? How tall is Prince?

The allure of Lil Boosie is no longer a hyperlocality confined to the Southeast.

Sprint: Focus On Mobile Data Leadership Instead Of Integration Headaches [View article]Jan 21, 2014. 07:32 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
Barney Frank - that's funny!
Well, FNMA and GNMA are similar entities, are they not, and they're performing quite well for the taxpayer now that the dust is settling?
That said, I agree with you. Still, the mortgage markets need to be in private hands, and so far, in US history, that has not really happened successfully. I think that the MREITs could be a viable alternative to the agencies to provide a liquid mortgage market. It might be more conservative than the NMAs and Barney, circa 2004, would like, but I think it needs to be. If the MREITs can create liquid, private markets for securitized mortgages, which the banks could not do in the 1930's and the NMA's could not do in the 2000's, maybe we've figured out a way to solve an fairly intractable problem.
Then again, it might be same ol same ol, except we'll need another 60-some-odd years to find out.Dec 30, 2013. 03:10 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment
As long as the yield curve does not invert, sure! And even if it does, hedging cover things as long as the duration is short. If the duration is long, none of this matters anyway - there are bigger problems - and it's back to the barter system and black markets.
But I do get your point. The fact that it's an emotional reaction makes it no less real - and I get that.Dec 30, 2013. 02:56 PM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

TIBCO's Return To License Growth Frustratingly Inconsistent [View article]Dec 20, 2013. 11:28 AM | 1 Like |Link to Comment
Three things happen with rising interest rates. First, spreads increase. That assumes the short rates are relativly fixed, which i think we all agree on. Second, buyers become shy and new mortgages slow. I think that is also self-evident. Lastly, NAVs shrink, which is not directly observable, but is a derivative action of CAPM. I get CAPM in the bond markets, but not here. Excluding opportunity cost, whose effect is understood, why would a rise in the long rates effect a contract (mortgage) with a fixed rate? Aren't most Annaly holdings fixed rate?
I simply can't reconcile this drop with what seems obvious nor with the behavior of the managers.Dec 17, 2013. 09:24 AM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
I still don't see accretive value in Sprint/TMobile, yet it looks like something is indeed happening. Some thoughts.
1) Maybe there are geographical overlays that offer synergy and the idea of swapping stock, not cash, is attractive. And maybe that balances out the roaming fees paid to Verizon. Verizon is sure touting their better national footprint. Maybe Sprint feels they can't do it on Network Vision alone.
2) Certainly the rapid rollout of LTE eliminates the network incompatibility issues, which are all in the RAN and have to do with 3G only. Still, my guess is that the bulk of their subs airtime is on 3G service and there are still plenty of 3G only phones in use. It still bothers me that Hesse or Son would pull another Nextel. I think that would be a big, big mistake.
3) Money is still free. If you're going to do a deal, better hurry!
4) Pricing is not even close to being competitive yet, but the FCC may be weighing the great good of building out the national infrastructure on the backs of investors and subscribers plus the tax revenues telecom fees generate, against causing the market to say 'uncle' or attracting truly disruptive competition.
5) #4 notwithstanding, Google and Comcast still scare the %^* out of them all. Imagine a carrier that leveraged all the WiFi access points out there to provide mobile voice, video and data service for the cost of a phone plus a random ad popping up. That kills carrier revenues and taxes. The carriers better have plenty of low freq spectrum to keep their high-margin 'mobility' niche in a bigger broadband market. I wonder if a Sprint/TMob merger delivers on that?
There are sure a lot of dynamics and probably political drivers we don't even know about. That said, in sum, there still doesn't appear to be a good enough reason for a merger.Dec 14, 2013. 10:37 AM | 0 Likes |Link to Comment

Inflation Is Dead, Long Live Deflation [View article]
As to the fed cooking the inflation numbers - it's not the fed doing the cooking. It's the BLS - your friendly government officials. And if you think about it, when a tax system is based on income, well, inflation is just ducky! Alas, consumption taxation would be little better!
Inflation is absolutely destructive to any monetary system. Since the US Dollar is the king of the hill right now, Dollar inflation is the worst kind, globally. Of course, debtors will not agree with that! Anyone know any debtors?
It irks me that my government is willing to erode the value of my savings to diminish the overhang of their (our) debt.Nov 21, 2013. 10:41 PM | 4 Likes |Link to Comment
Bad idea. TMobile and Sprint use different systems and Sprint doesn't need anything TMobile has, just baggage. The market needs the competition. Google will certainly enter the service provider market and the widespread use of LTE will blur the lines between the Comcasts of the world and the Sprints of the world. With all that competition, Sprint needs to be as strong as possible, and a merger with weak sisters like Dish or TMob is inane. If Sprint wants to 'merge' it should look to Comcast or Charter, or even Google!

Sprint NI of $383M [View news story]
The reason I'm so pleased is that they are not navigating this iDen fiasco while prices are collapsing - which is sure to come. They're building out their network, taking their Forsee-induced losses, and making hay while prices are high and stable. In companies of this size, it is very hard to say no to revenues and big customers, even when it is clear that you're riding a losing horse. Sprint made the commitment and did the job. I'm sure it was tougher than any investor really knows.
I also think that the Clearwire thing was a brilliant move, not only for the spectrum, which is value enough, but for the experience building out and running smaller, more modern equipment.
Certainly Verizon is a great company, but Sprint has far far more upside for investors as long as Hesse and the team continue to execute as well as they have. Even TMobile is doing all the right things in this space.

In fact, the REIT model is dead simple. It's made complicated by the hedging, which is done to minimize the risk. When rates started to rise, the bond-mentality in many investors said that prices should therefore drop. That's overthinking a simpler problem. The rates matter little to how much a REIT earns - it's all about the spread times leverage. The spread has indeed fluctuated, but within a range. When the yield curves invert, that's when REITs are in danger. That rarely happens, but it does happen. Risk reward. It would take a very poorly managed fund indeed to not be able to survive a short rate inversion - especially because you can always see them coming - the macro environment is melting down.
That said, anyone who thinks this is risky should not be in it as RS says. That way, those more out on the risk reward spectrum can make a killing.
The thing that I wholeheartedly agree with you on is that noone seems to understand this primitive, fundamental business model.Oct 13, 2013. 11:30 PM | 2 Likes |Link to Comment
