Love this rug!
I opened the rug today and was so happy! It arrived well wrapped and in perfect shape. The colors are so much better than the picture.

I have gotten so many compliments on this rug. Great quality, great colors. Love it! :)Read More
Good product
Although all the colors are MUCH lighter than I expected, it's still nice. The description says "ivory" and it truly is ivory. I was hoping for more of a beige/khaki based on the photo. But it's a nice rug; soft, low pile, hasnt shed any. Overall, please with the product for the price I paid. I put a rug pad under mine because it isn't a thick rug. But I wanted low pile and this met my expectations. Delivery was quick and only took a few days for it to lay flat.Read More
Positive reveiw
I was somewhat reluctant to purchase rugs that I couldn't touch first, and with "polypropolene" as the fiber content...lets just say I was skeptical! But, we needed some rugs and took a chance. We were quite pleasantly surprised! They man made fiber feels plenty soft and natural, the colors were accurately represented and so far, we are quite happy with the purchase of one large rug, two smaller rugs and two long runners. We will wait to see how they do over time, but as of now, we are very pleased.Read More
Great rug
I love this rug! The colors are rich and vibrant, and the pile is thick. Because it's multi-colored, it goes with just about any solid-colored piece of furniture. And it has enough color to it that it won't show dirt or get dingy.Read More
Better than expected
Bought this rug for the bedroom to cover drafty hardwoods, and it's perfect. I figured I'd need to buy a pad for it but when it showed up it was thick enough on it's own, and the furniture in the room anchored it nicely. The red is more cherry red than I expected, but it's still beautiful. Not too flowery or feminine, my husband also likes it. Shipping took about a week, but it shipped from across the country, so still not bad. It was rolled up really tight and I was worried about how long it would take to relax, but by the second day it had stopped curling up at the edge. I would buy this brand again, and I may for the living room.Read More

Quick recap.
I went into this school year last September 2014 with my mind open to the idea of taking an early retirement. The decision was finally made in October to "make it stop" and my last day of teaching was November 30, 2014. I'm now three pension cheques in, and still getting used to the joyous sensation of not having to do anything, literally.
In December I decided to hold the publication of the third issue of Greater Hamilton Musician until the JUNO Awards came to Hamilton in March. Somewhere in December I determined to include a directory and to hold a crowd-funding campaign to solicit listings.
Along the way, my video guy Christoph introduced me to Jeff Boulton, who eventually became my campaign consultant and had a large part to do with the success of the campaign which raised $6025. The month of December was a blur of activity related to re-branding my internet presence, especially getting social media accounts sorted out and connected. We were running around trying to promote the campaign, set up video clips of local musicians, get media coverage. Crazy. Then Christmas vacation hit and everything stopped. Nothing kicked back in until about the third week of January, and then we extended the campaign another week.
When the crowd-fund ended I was thick in the middle of chasing down ad sales, distribution agreements, etc. Then the last week of February was nuts as we finalized all the contents and did our proof-reading, sent off to printer, etc.
4000 magazines in 50 cartons were delivered on the morning of Tuesday March 10.
Two weeks later most of the dust has settled. The JUNOs is over. A few errors in the print version have come to light:
- A missed photo credit for Ross Taylor
- An extra photo credit for Suzanne Steenkist
- An incorrectly categorized text listing
- A wrong ad (last year's version) listed for Cat'N'Fiddle. This was embarrassing for them because it included the name of one of their longstanding musical performers Brian Griffith as appearing every Thursday night. That mistake really sucked.
- And one final doozy: an entirely missed ad placement from one of my first customers. He phoned and was angry, "I'm so angry," he said. This incident left me reeling with feelings of failure and insecurity. Plain and simple, this was my human error, despite all of my checking and double-checking! When the call came, I was convinced that I will stop all this nonsense and never pretend to be a magazine publisher again.
With Monday tomorrow, it will be a new time period. With March Break done, JUNOs done, magazine printed and distributed, crowd-fund done, most of the bills paid, there is a new-found sense of freedom. "This is the real retirement commencement" I'm thinking. Where I can get up in the morning and make plans to, say, work in the garden for example.
A couple of observations.
In the weeks before retirement date I was busy trying to capture all my thoughts and feelings about my future. Suddenly it all seems less important. It's like I was crossing a great divide in my life and I didn't want to miss out on my state of mind in the middle of it. Most of those thoughts are in my other blog glenswordsfor.us.
Today things are different. As Brenda and I debriefed over my feelings of wanting to quit and my imperfections with the magazine mistakes, she said, "Take a couple of days and get your head together. Decide what you want to happen next."

Remembering John Crowe Ransom
This distinguished thinker from Pulaski, Tennessee was a poet, essayist, editor, and professor known for both depth and levity.
He is considered to be a founder of the New Criticism school of literary criticism. As a faculty member at Kenyon College, he was the first editor of the widely regarded Kenyon Review.
Ransom's lighthearted writing has been compared to that of Voltaire, Swift and Twain––ironic wit, sense of incongruity, mock-pedantic language used to wonderful effect.
Below are a three of his humorous poems.
Blue Girls
Twirling your blue skirts, travelling the sward
Under the towers of your seminary,
Go listen to your teachers old and contrary
Without believing a word.
Tie the white fillets then about your hair
And think no more of what will come to pass
Than bluebirds that go walking on the grass
And chattering on the air.
Practice your beauty, blue girls, before it fail;
And I will cry with my loud lips and publish
Beauty which all our power shall never establish,
It is so frail.
For I could tell you a story which is true;
I know a woman with a terrible tongue,
Blear eyes fallen from blue,
All her perfections tarnished — yet it is not long
Since she was lovelier than any of you.
I know a quite religious man
Who utters praises when he can.
Now I find God in bard and book,
In school and temple, bird and brook.
But he says God is sweetest of all
Discovered in a drinking-hall.
For God requires no costly wine
But comes on the foam of a crockery stein.
And when that foam is on the lips,
Begin then God's good fellowships.
Cathedrals, synagogues, and kirks
May go to the devil, and all their works.
And as for Christian charity,
It's made out of hilarity.
He gives the beggar all his dimes,
Forgives his brother seven times.
'I love the rain,' says thirsty clod;
So this religious man of God.
For God has come, and is it odd
He praises all the works of God?
'For God has come, and there's no sorrow,'
He sings all night–will he sing to-morrow?
— John Crowe Ransom
And wagged my wicked tongue so well,
My friends were listening close to hear
The wickedest tales that I could tell.
For many a fond youth waits, I said,
On many a worthless damozel;
But every trusting fool shall learn
To wish them heartily in hell.And when your name was spoken too,
I did not change, I did not start,
And when they only praised and loved,
I still could play my secret part,
Cursing and lies upon my tongue,
And songs and shouting in my heart.
But when you came and looked at me,
You tried my poor pretence too much.
O love, do you know the secret now
Of one who would not tell nor touch?
Must I confess before the pack
Of babblers, idiots, and such?
Do they not hear the burst of bells,
Pealing at every step you make?
Are not their eyelids winking too,
Feeling your sudden brightness break?
O too much glory shut with us!
O walls too narrow and opaque!
O come into the night with me
And let me speak, for Jesus' sake.
Rainbows and Hippies: Humorous Responses to the Supreme Court's Same-Sex Marriage Decision
Tracy Wuster
Several years ago, we posted a collection of humorous responses to President Obama's change to support gay marriage. For a follow up, here are some of the humorous responses to the Supreme Court's decision to legalize marriage across the country.
Responses seem to fall into a few general categories:
1) Celebration of the ruling
2) Comments on the Supreme Court, pro and con, but with no real connection to the recent Obamacare decision (see bottom for examples of responses to that)
3) Connections to the questions of race and the Confederate flag
4) Satire on the institution of marriage
4) Reactions of opponents
Here are a few cartoons and memes that show examples of these trends.
And here are some web-based humorous responses:

Jack Kerouac's American Haiku
Rue Gît le Coeur: street where lies the heart. On a tiny street in Paris, about a quarter of the length of a New York City block and just a little wider than a Venice passageway, lies a minuscule hotel. Its rooms, replete with medieval-era wooden beams and matching pastoral designs on the wallpaper and curtains, are just as tiny; only one person can move around in the room at a time. The elevator, too, can manage only one person per trip. Charming and minute, there is no space in this hotel for oversized couches and exercise rooms; there is barely space enough to stretch out your arms and yawn, let alone sing.
When I visited this sequestered street last year—almost hidden in the midst of a crowded tourist district—I was amused and surprised to see the plaques, figured prominently on the hotel's front façade, and the photographs displayed proudly in the lobby, honoring several Beat-era poets who had stayed there more than half a century ago. According to one of the plaques, William S. Burroughs supposedly wrote Naked Lunch there.
This hotel is to architecture what haiku is to literature: charming, ancient, and airtight—"no room for petty furniture," as Emily Dickinson writes of compressed poetry. If there is a general view of Beat-era poetry, it is that it rides the force of Whitman's barbaric yawp and delights in expansiveness, open vistas, and freedom. So it is a little unexpected and amusing to imagine multiple Beat poets writing productively in this very cozy, well-appointed hotel, just as there is something unexpected about the Beat poet who ventures into the space of haiku.
Jack Kerouac did not join his colleagues at this hotel, but he did spend considerable time within the small chamber of the haiku, testing its edges, poking fun at its purpose, and stumbling into very sweet encounters with its essence. Yet what stands out in his playful attempts with the form (which he renamed "Pop") is their humor.
In his Book of Haikus, edited in 2003 by Regina Weinreich, Kerouac toys with nature. In the Japanese tradition of seventeenth-century poet Matsuo Basho, haiku juxtaposes something man-made with something from the natural world. Generally in Basho's poetry, nature complements if not soothes loneliness.
drinking saké
without flowers or moon
one is alone.
(Matsuo Basho, The Complete Haiku, translated by Jane Reichhold (Tokyo: Kodansha International, 2008)
However, in Kerouac's haiku, man and nature collide, confront one another, or fumble towards connection.
A raindrop from
the roof
Fell in my beer
(New York: Penguin Poets, 2003), 30
Where Basho's natural elements blend with or serve to illuminate the human situations in his haiku, Kerouac's speakers sometimes come off as annoyed with nature.
don't be like me
even though we're like the melon
split in two.
Nature is a not a metaphor in Kerouac's haiku, but an encounter—even a clash:
Bee, why are you
staring at me?
I'm not a flower!
The earth winked
at me—right
In the john
In his imitations of the Japanese model, Kerouac produces humor by reversing the direction of the metaphor: human experience is no longer compared to something beautiful in nature; rather, nature interferes with or is pitted against man-made entities.
even in Kyoto
longing for Kyoto
the cuckoo
Run over by my lawnmower,
waiting for me to leave,
The frog
Kerouac's speaker is in nature's midst, and nature also crosses over into his domain. His speakers often use human measures to engage with nature:
A bird on
the branch out there
—I waved (33)
When the moon sinks
down to the power line,
I'll go in.
Occasionally, he personifies nature, though his human vantage point, as a viewer in a car passing by along the American highway, for example, is vividly apparent in these examples:
Grain elevators, waiting
For the road
To approach them (7)
The windmills of
Oklahoma look
In every direction (6)
Nodding against the wall,
the flowers
Sometimes nature succeeds in inspiring an almost surrealist burst of ecstasy for Kerouac, but Kerouac again inverts the formula; the ecstasy is not expressed through delight in nature but through delight in something manmade:
their color
whiter than peaches
a narcissus
White roses with red
Vanilla ice cream cherry!
In the sun
the butterfly wings
Like a church window
In some haiku, Kerouac shows a picture of American life that is out of sink with nature; in others, nature is oblivious to the man-made world.
August in Salinas—
Autumn leaves in
Clothing store displays
The sleeping moth—
he doesn't know
The lamp's turned up again.
Yet Kerouac does not exactly parody the form, even in these more comical examples. At times he uses its conventions with elegance, subtly embedding a seasonal clue within a tender or sensual image of everyday life.
Evening coming—
The office girl
unloosing her scarf (32)
The bottoms of my shoes
are clean
From walking in the rain (7)
Elsewhere, Kerouac abandons imagery altogether and confronts the haiku form as a source of both frustration and fun in his philosophical meditation:
Haiku, shmaiku, I cant
understand the intention
Of reality (71)
Wild to sit on a haypile,
writing haikus,
Drinking wine (70)
In the chair,
I decided to call Haiku
By the name of Pop
Do you know why my name is Jack?
That's why.
Kerouac is well known as a funny author yet not always as a precise comic. He was, steadily, a public drunk, which, however understandably, unfairly sullies his reputation as a meticulous artist, suggesting a more chaotic, accidental humor.
In the above interview with William F. Buckley, a drunk Kerouac clearly states his aesthetic philosophy: "I believe in order, tenderness, and piety." If we are surprised to hear this, Kerouac himself is partly responsible for that surprise; what he calls elsewhere in the interview his Dionysian way of life creates the impression of a reckless genius, making him, as his friend Allen Ginsberg explains in this follow-up interview, an unwelcome if misunderstood guest on Buckley's show.
In these later years of Kerouac's career, his outward exuberance seems to have been tinged with melancholy and exasperation. At a photography exhibit at the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. several years ago, I was struck by the sadness in so many of the Kerouac portraits:
Yet if haiku derives force from the juxtaposition of incongruous elements, then Kerouac seems to have mastered its essence, embodying the weight of a true poet's melancholy as well as a quality of silliness and humor, light as air.
Ezra Pound's American haiku (most famous is his 1912 "In a Station of a Metro" based on the Paris metro) bring visual power to haiku in English but do not explore the form's levity nor the bubbly, tender, and weird opportunities for humor through basic juxtaposition. Yet, just as a few Beat poets once crowded into an elegant but rowboat-sized hotel in Paris—just as Lawrence Ferlinghetti's City Lights Bookstore sits, juxtaposed, at a straight diagonal shot from a Franciscan holy site in San Francisco's North Beach––so, too, the road-broadening Jack Kerouac honors the essence of haiku and goes one step further. In taking the metaphorical juxtaposition between man and nature literally, Kerouac uncovers humor in the form while maintaining order, tenderness, and his own special brand of piety. Thanks to Kerouac, we might say that humor is now an American stamp on the haiku form. In Kerouac's hands, everyday American commercial items from ice cream to windmills are captured in a meditative light and subjected to a wily but tender philosophy.
John Oliver got rid of Sepp Blatter. That would be a bold statement if I cared at all about Sepp Blatter or FIFA. I do not. I do care, however, about John Oliver, my favorite funny person from Great Britain (currently; it is a long list). More importantly, for this venue, is the contribution that John Oliver with his work on Last Week Tonight with John Oliver (HBO) is making to American humor. As one who has been distraught over the loss of The Colbert Report and the impending departure of Jon Stewart from The Daily Show, I have been worried that we were facing the end of a golden age in American television political and social satire. I think it will last a bit longer, and I am sure that John Oliver is key to its future.
The Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore is solid, and Trevor Noah may prove to reinvigorate the Daily Show, so my worries may be overblown. It is Last Week Tonight, however, that holds the most promise. Quite simply, it transforms the basic formula codified by The Daily Show under Jon Stewart (and applied to a specific parodic context by Colbert) and makes it decidedly more argumentative. Last Week Tonight is thesis-driven humor, which marks a dramatic shift in ambition, or, perhaps, confidence. In either case, Oliver will not admit it.
Oliver is nonetheless catching fire. On a recent appearance on CBS This Morning , Charlie Rose asked one question that seemed clear and concise (if you can believe it): "What is the intent of this 'dumb' show?" (Oliver had already called it "dumb" based on the introductory clips).
"Just to make people laugh." OK, John, you get a pass since this is the standard answer for any such discussion of humor. Why a duck? Because ducks are funny, that's why. But you are lying.
Oliver's self-deprecation notwithstanding, the fact is that no one in American television has ever put together satirically charged arguments in segments ranging from 12 to 20 minutes (easily 2 to 4 times as long as standard Daily Show bits) that are focused on one issue with such depth and humor. Never. There are easier ways to make people laugh.
In the interview, Oliver would not assert a more elaborate purpose and underplayed any major role for satire itself. As to whether satire served a deeper purpose in his work, he simply said, "I have no idea. Ideally, satire would do no better than anyone." He went on to explain the show's long form, weekly approach: "It's some slow cooking, what we do."
Yes, slow cooking. It took a year to get Sepp Blatter. That is the pace of satire. C'mon, John, admit it.
To begin a closer look at the Last Week Tonight formula, let's stick with Blatter and the two episodes that most directly skewer FIFA, the first of which aired on 8 June 2014 and the second on 1 June 2015. A brief look at these two episodes should provide a good indication of the power of Oliver's thesis-driven comedy and the potential of long-form television satire. Both episodes feature FIFA as the main topic, and each segment runs just over 13 minutes. Here are links to each:
The key to Oliver's approach could be understood best, perhaps, by considering it as a model for clear, argumentative writing. In fact, I urge all freshman composition instructors in the nation to drop all textbooks and simply use Last Week Tonight to teach the modes of argumentative writing. Let's consider the most basic element of building effective arguments: Write clear and concise topic sentences. Note the few examples below:
–"FIFA is a comically grotesque organization." (8 June 2014).
–"There is a certain irony in FIFA setting up any kind of justice system given the scandals that have dogged it over the years." (8 June 2014).
–"The problem is: all the arrests in the world are going to change nothing as long as Blatter is still there." (1 June 2015)
–"When your rainy day fund is so big that you've got to check it for swimming cartoon ducks, you might not be a non-profit anymore." (8 June 2014)
–"Peanut butter and jelly are supposed to go together; FIFA and bribery should go together like peanut butter and a child with a deadly nut allergy." (8 June 2014)
–"That is perfect because hotel sheets are very much like FIFA officials; they really should be clean, but they are actually unspeakably filthy, and deep down everybody knows that." (1 June 2015)
Note the clarity of the argumentative position in each statement above. They assert positions, all followed by multiple levels of support within the show (follow the links). That, dear readers, is how you build good essays! It is also how to build fresh, ambitious humor.
Unlike predecessors, Last Week Tonight does not avoid stating a clear argumentative position. That is not to say there is no position taken by Stewart or Colbert; rather, I simply mean that they do not offer statements of purpose–ie. Sepp Blatter must go. They prefer inference and comic performance to imply the argument, which is consistently geared towards the choir. Last Week Tonight, on the other hand, provides the thesis and then uses comedy to make the imperative of that thesis abundantly clear. And funny. The show makes both Aristotle and Harpo proud.
Last Week Tonight is on to something, and folks interested in American humor as well as folks who teach expository writing should take note. Topic sentences are making a comeback, and they can be very funny.
Sherman Alexie's Survival Humor Turns "Legal"
Some days you just have two choices. You can laugh, or you can cry. Both of these actions define us as human beings. While crying can be cathartic, laughing is what we do in order to assert some form of control over circumstances that threaten to overwhelm us. In the study of Native American humor, the term "survival humor" is quite common; but I have yet to find a working definition of this term. What I did find a definition of is a term I had never heard used as a literary term: snark.
This is how "snark" is literarily defined:
Snark can be used for different purposes. However, mostly it is utilized as a mask. Others might use it as a defensive device. When bitterness is not easy to express in an agreeable way, snark is used without hurting anyone directly.[i]
This seems as good a term as any for the purpose here. In general usage, it tends to have a more negative connotation, but it does describe what you will see if you read Sherman Alexie's The Lone Ranger and Tonto Fistfight in Heaven. Every story in the collection is guaranteed to have a reader laughing and crying at the same time. Many of the stories are sad; however, the ways that Alexie's characters view and think about them reflect an essential humor that belies the gravity and pain.
The Spokane/Ceour d'Alene author shows his readers how to both laugh and cry at the same time, and in doing so:
- takes some of the sting out of reservation life for indigenous people
- shows whites what reservation life is and how it affects those who live there
- tries to make peace with what history has dealt Indians in general and his own tribe in particular
This first short story collection reached the "legal" age of 21 last year. When the collection was published in 1993, Alexie was a 27 year old resident of the Spokane Indian reservation. His first book, a collection of poems called The Business of Fancydancing, had received critical praise and awards. In the New York Times Book Review, James Kincaid (University of Southern California) "declared [him] one of the major lyric voices of our time" (xix). [ii] In his Prologue to the 20th Anniversary edition, Alexie reflects on his career since and his uneasy fit into the world of authors and book publishing. He remembers, for example, stepping out of a penthouse elevator at a New Yorker magazine party to see Stephen King and Salman Rushdie hugging each other. Pretty heady stuff for a rez boy, as he says. In the twenty-some years since its publication, Alexie has written more poetry, novels, and short stories, all of which contain this signature humor, and I have read most of them; but this one stays with me as one of the best.
In "Because My Father Always Said that He Was the Only Indian Who Saw Jimi Hendrix Play 'The Star Spangled Banner' at Woodstock" he describes his father as a young man who was photographed demonstrating against Vietnam. His father is wearing bell-bottoms and a flowered shirt, his hair is in braids, and his face painted with peace symbols in red like war paint. The image ran in several newspapers with varied captions. Alexie says, "The one I like best is from the Seattle Times: Demonstrator goes to war for peace. Capitalizing on his father's native heritage, others read things like "One Warrior against War" and "Peaceful gathering Turns into Native Uprising."
The photograph won a Pulitzer for the photographer. The character's father goes to jail for attempted murder. He is released just in time to see that epic version of the national anthem, and twenty years later continues to play it as the backdrop to his drinking—Alexie says: "My father and Jimi became drinking buddies" (26). Like many of the stories in this collection, he relates both heartache and humor in the alcoholism he sees around him.
"The Trial of Thomas Builds-the-Fire" showcases white authorities' fear and fascination with Indians by creating a "trial" in which Thomas is accused of "making small noises, form[ing] syllables that contained more emotion and meaning than entire sentences constructed by the BIA [Bureau of Indian Affairs]." His previous infraction against authority, "holding the reservation postmaster hostage for eight hours with the idea of a gun and ha[ving] also threatened to make significant changes in the tribal vision. But that crisis was resolved years ago; Thomas surrendered voluntarily and agreed to remain silent. Thomas had not spoken in nearly twenty years"[iii]
In effect, Thomas is arrested for speaking—speaking stories that reflect an oral tradition and a belief that words hold power. Clearly words do—other members of the tribe hear the sounds and the words effect change on the reservation. In trying to decide upon what charges to bring against him, the BIA representatives state that "It has to be a felony charge. We don't need his kind around here anymore."[iv]
Alexie ranges across present day social issues associated with reservation life, as well as historical wrongs the tribe has endured, and emphasizes the importance of keeping those issues alive through speech and the language of stories.
This story ends with Thomas being sentenced to two life sentences in Wall Walla State Penitentiary, where he continues to tell his stories to the men of color with whom he shares the bus to prison.
These two short pieces are representative examples. Some tell of love, some of history, some of life (and death). But all demonstrate humor in the face of adversity, and a will to survive the stolen land, the broken treaties, the broken promises, and the aftermath of assimilation, allotment, and hunger. Snark may define the literary device Alexie uses here—but survival humor is the end result.
Other works by Sherman Alexie that you might also enjoy reading are two other short story collections: Toughest Indian in the World and Ten Little Indians, and novels: Reservation Blues, Indian Killer, and The Absolutely True Diary of a Part Time Indian. More recent editions of the short stories contain discussion questions as an afterward as a guide for reading groups. These are primarily of interest to teachers, but also to reading groups. They offer some historical information and questions that help readers understand and discuss the texts from an indigenous viewpoint.
So if you like your humor laced with irony and, yes, a bit of snark, these all make great summer reads.

Who Invented the Rube Goldberg Invention?
Who Invented The Rube Goldberg Invention?
The Rube Goldberg invention is a complex device that achieves a simple objective. Entering the American lexicon in 1931, it defines the adjective "Rube Goldberg," a staple of most American English dictionaries. "Rube Goldberg," of course, is only the adjective, but it is followed by "invention," "contraption," "device," or a plethora of other synonyms of those words that "Rube Goldberg" modifies. But who is Rube Goldberg and where does the convention of the Rube Goldberg invention come from?
Ruben Lucius Goldberg was born in San Francisco, California on July 4, 1883. He received a degree in engineering from UC Berkeley in 1904, but in 1907 he moved to New York City and became a cartoonist for the New York Evening Mail. He was very popular, and by the time America entered World War I, Goldberg was nationally syndicated and, true to the journalistic standards of the time, William Randolph Hearst had already begun a bidding war to lure Goldberg from the Evening Mail to the New York Journal. The Evening Mail was able to keep Goldberg until 1934, at which time he continued syndicating cartoons until his death in 1970.
According to Charles Keller in his book, The Best of Rube Goldberg, Goldberg began drawing the iconic inventions in 1915 and they became a weekly institution in American journalism. In fact, there are innumerable imitations of the motif in various aspects of popular culture including television (especially animated features), movies, and games. His name is also given to the cartoonist of the year award (Ruben Award), by the National Cartoonists Society. There are even Rube Goldberg Machine Contests for high school and college students around the United States. The idea of creating fanciful machines to complete simple tasks taps into human imagination and foolish inefficiency at the same time.
Above: Rube Goldberg improves the game of golf.
William Heath Robinson (1872-1944) also drew complex machines that completed tasks in Britain at about the same time as Goldberg. Robinson began his art career by illustrating books. He did several of them from 1897 to 1916. In the 19-teens, Robinson began drawing cartoons satirizing World War I for British media specializing in drawing impossible secret weapons that the enemy might use. This morphed into drawing the complex machines, and by 1917, the Oxford English Dictionary listed "Heath Robinson contraption" as a noun.
Robinson began drawing the absurd devices in children's book illustrations and continued in several media until he died in 1944. During his lifetime he, as did Goldberg, published several books of cartoons including the machines. Both of their legacies have continued. For Robinson, it is an improvised device that was engineered by the British Air Force for its chaff dispensing mechanism called a Heath Robinson Chaff Modification.
So, who invented the Rube Goldberg Invention? As Robinson, being 11 years older than Goldberg got started drawing his machines first, there is a good chance that he was the first of the two to do it, but because those contraptions got their start in children's books, it is unlikely that Goldberg saw them and was inspired. Goldberg's methodology for drawing his inventions includes a step-by-step instruction of how the thing works. Those steps often utilize an item in the news at the time, a difference between him and Robinson.
Eventually, of course, both cartoonists became aware of the other's work, but there was a big world full of many new products that were ripe for satire during the industrial age. Between the two of them they had enough material to keep themselves and scores of other cartoonists busy on a daily basis. Not only that, there was a big ocean between them, and American media did not print the Robinson cartoons any more than the British media ran the Goldberg variations on the Robinson theme.

The King is Gone
In my inaugural post for this website I discussed the subtle humor of the blues, and how that humor helps to give the blues its healing power. Last week we lost an American icon, a musician who is perhaps the best-known blues musician of them all.
B.B. King was neither the most versatile nor the most emotionally impactful blues musician. The ever-amiable master displayed little of the hellhounds that cast tortured shadows over the early delta players, the sheer frightening force of Howlin' Wolf or the commandeering magnetism of Muddy Waters. But the "Blues Boy" developed his own influential style of fluid, single note guitar leads – moving seamlessly through his very being and out through his fingertips – which became the defining sound that many think of when they think of the blues. He spoke through his fingers. Tone flowed through his veins. His immense popularity and consistency made him the unquestionable ambassador of the blues to the world, and for that he rightly earned the title of King.
B.B. King defined his long and impressive career with class, sophistication and an effortless grace. But he wasn't above a little good-natured humor, and had no reservations about making music with any artist from any genre, human or otherwise.
Here is a clip of the "King of the Blues" sitting in with the gang from Sesame Street, singing a song about the importance of the letter B. It's a fun, humorous clip, but it underscores a deeper truth. Without the letter B, so the song goes, there would be no birds, no Berts and, most importantly, no blues. And without the blues, there would be no spirituals, no jazz, no honky tonk country, no R&B, no Rock 'n' Roll, no soul music, no funk, no hip-hop, not even pop. Without the blues there would be no anecdote for life's unbearable heft. There could be no healing. Without the blues there is no American music. There is no America.
Play on, Blues Boy.

Septic Arthritis
(Bacterial Arthritis; Infectious Arthritis; Pyogenic Arthritis)
DefinitionSeptic arthritis is a serious infection of the joints caused by bacteria. This infection causes the joint to be filled with pus cells. These pus cells release substances directed against the bacteria. However, this action can damage the joint structures, bone, and surrounding cartilage.
CausesSeptic arthritis develops when bacteria spreads from the source of infection through the bloodstream to a joint. It can result from:
- Infection due to an injection
- Surgery
- Other infections
- A penetration wound
- An injury that affects the joint
- Joint surgery/replacement
|Joint Damage in Knee
|Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Risk FactorsFactors that may increase your chance of developing septic arthritis include:
- Diseases that weaken the immune system, such as HIV or taking drugs that suppress immunity
- A history of joint problems or having other types of arthritis, gout, or lupus
- A history of IV drug use
- Chronic illnesses, such as anemia, diabetes, sickle cell, and kidney failure
- Joint replacement or organ transplant surgery
- Recent joint injections, such as cortisone or hyaluronic acid
- Alcoholism
- Skin conditions, such as psoriasis and eczema

Jay-Z's venture into the sports management world has been heavily discussed over the past few months. So much so that he even rapped about it on his upcoming album "Magna Carta Holy Grail." Since taking his music and entertainment company, Roc Nation, into the sports world just a few months ago, Jay-Z has already inked major athletes like Robinson Cano and Kevin Durant to the label. New York Jets Geno Smith also signed on with Roc Nation, but Jay-Z's potentially illegal involvement in Smith's recruitment brought on an investigation by the NFL Players Association into the rap mogul and his management company. Jay-Z doesn't seem too fazed by the allegations or the investigation, though. He even dropped a line about the NFLPA's inquisition in one a track entitled "La Familia" on his new album. He leaked lyrics to the new song, along with some of his other joints, online over the weekend. "NFL investigations/ Oh don't make me laugh /FBI investigation /We stood up to that," Jay-Z raps on the song. There's no telling how the NFLPA's investigation might turn out, but from the sound of it Jay-Z has already brushed that dirt off his shoulder. Have a question for Luke Hughes?

Accountants deny multi-million dollar tax fraud
Four accountants have faced a Sydney court to plead not guilty to an alleged multi-million dollar tax evasion scheme.
The Vanuatu-based accountant Robert Agius, 60, has been detained in Australia for two years after being charged as part of Operation Wickenby - a taskforce investigating the tax affairs of hundreds of Australians including actor Paul Hogan.
Three accountants from Sydney-based accounting firm Owen T. Daniel are also charged. They are Kevin Zerafa, Carol Abibadra and Deborah Jandangi.
All four have faced the New South Wales Supreme Court to plead not guilty to charges of conspiring to defraud the Commonwealth and causing a loss to the Commonwealth.
Prosecutors have dropped a charge of money laundering against Robert Agius.
The accountants have had their bail continued until they stand trial.

10 Ways to Be More Like Christ
10 Ways to Be More Like Christ
By Christi Brown
As Christians, we all want to be more like Jesus. We all know that this life is really about seeking after that one goal, every day, so that others might see Jesus in us and want to come to Him. Here are some practical ways to achieve the goal in your daily life, of making Christ greater and greater, and yourself, less and less. "I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me."
Galatians 2:20 (ESV)

| Ruffus chapter 1 . 1/4/2013
In terms of content it is credible and marries well into the story of Harry Potter; however the grammar presents a real problem - mainly the absence of full-stops throughout the chapter.
This having been said, I would like to see more from this writer.
| mrbelleman chapter 4 . 12/13/2012
I must say that i look forward to reading every story on your page, the writing is superb and i can say that i have not read one story yet that i didn't absolutely love. Please continue writing for as long as you can as i will be a fervent reader of your stories for as long as you and your husband write them.
| HoosierCullen chapter 4 . 11/6/2012
That was brilliant. The fact that Hermione learned she was being very dimwitted and then the fact that Ron and Ginny accepted them being together was more in character for them then them being in a vendictive state of mind. I liked this alot.
| ElizabethAnneSoph chapter 4 . 10/14/2012
Oh this was a good Christmas Carol, a new perspective of Hermione and of Harry as well! Very good work with this even if it is a bit short! But then again it was the perfect length! Good job!
As always my deepest compliments on your story

BEIJING, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Malaysian badminton team with the world's number two Lee Chongwei keeps a low profile before the Beijing Olympic Games start, saying their goal was two medals.
"We will fight for medals at first and then strive for golds," said team manager Lim Teong Hiat here on Tuesday, adding the Malaysian Olympic Committee set the target for one gold in badminton.
"There are no more easy games, despite Lee and our pairs in men's doubles have the chances to win golds," he said.
Malaysian shuttlers have never won golds since badminton became a competing sport at the Olympic Games in 1992, according to Lim. They garnered one silver and two bronze medals at the Games.
Lee Chong Wei, with a world ranking of second, was the team's biggest hope to win a gold. However, top seeded badminton players had never won titles at previous Games.

Los Cabos Private Transportation and Transfer
Black Diamond Transportation Los Cabos
Aug 06, 2012 12:33 pm
I recently went to Cabo San Lucas in June 2012 and decided to avoid the airport hassles of finding a taxi on my own. When you travel to a new place for the first time you are always worried about what if you get hassled or possibly overcharged for services. I read about Black Diamond on the Internet and decided to line up limousine type service with a private driver thru Black Diamond Transportation Services for my trip in advance. I contacted them on email in advance to get rates and after giving all my details to them I had a quick response and the trip was set up. My driver was waiting for me as promised, he was very pleasant and professional. His name was Hugo. I paid up front for my return trip and just as promised Hugo arrived at my Hotel in Cabo San Lucas to take me back to the San Jose airport , he arrived early which made me very happy. My trip to Cabo was great and I am planning to use Jorge Rivero and his Black Diamond people to provide me services on my next trip back to Cabo. I've travelled all over the world and my latest trip to Mexico re affirmed to me again that Mexico is still a safe and friendly destination to travel to for vacation. This was my 14 th trip to Mexico and I have never encountered issues on any of my trips. the people are always great to me and make me fond of my travels to there country. If you want to have a stress free arrival I would recommend using Black Diamond Transportation, it's well worth a few dollars more than to ride in a small taxi with others. Thanks again Jorge and Hugo for a stress free experience . Sincerely Dean

Single-sided ploughing in a ploughing match
The first mouldboard ploughs could only turn the soil over in one direction (conventionally always to the right), as dictated by the shape of the mouldboard, and so the field had to be ploughed in long strips, or lands. The plough was usually worked clockwise around each land, ploughing the long sides and being dragged across the short sides without ploughing. The length of the strip was limited by the distance oxen (or later horses) could comfortably work without a rest, and their width by the distance the plough could conveniently be dragged. These distances determined the traditional size of the strips: a furlong, (or "furrow's length", 220 yards (200 m)) by a chain (22 yards (20 m)) – an area of one acre (about 0.4 hectares); this is the origin of the acre. The one-sided action gradually moved soil from the sides to the centre line of the strip. If the strip was in the same place each year, the soil built up into a ridge, creating the ridge and furrow topography still seen in some ancient fields.The turnwrest plough allows ploughing to be done to either side. The mouldboard is removable, turning to the right for one furrow, then being moved to the other side of the plough to turn to the left (the coulter and ploughshare are fixed). In this way adjacent furrows can be ploughed in opposite directions, allowing ploughing to proceed continuously along the field and thus avoiding the ridge and furrow topography.The reversible plough has two mouldboard ploughs mounted back-to-back, one turning to the right, the other to the left. While one is working the land, the other is carried upside-down in the air. At the end of each row, the paired ploughs are turned over, so the other can be used. This returns along the next furrow, again working the field in a consistent direction.Early steel ploughs, like those for thousands of years prior, were walking ploughs, directed by the ploughman holding onto handles on either side of the plough. The steel ploughs were so much easier to draw through the soil that the constant adjustments of the blade to react to roots or clods was no longer necessary, as the plough could easily cut through them. Consequently it was not long after that the first riding ploughs appeared. On these, wheels kept the plough at an adjustable level above the ground, while the ploughman sat on a seat where he would have earlier walked. Direction was now controlled mostly through the draught team, with levers allowing fine adjustments. This led very quickly to riding ploughs with multiple mouldboards, dramatically increasing ploughing performance.
A single draught horse can normally pull a single-furrow plough in clean light soil, but in heavier soils two horses are needed, one walking on the land and one in the furrow. For ploughs with two or more furrows more than two horses are needed and, usually, one or more horses have to walk on the loose ploughed sod—and that makes hard going for them, and the horse treads the newly ploughed land down. It is usual to rest such horses every half hour for about ten minutes.
Heavy volcanic loam soils, such as are found in New Zealand, require the use of four heavy draught horses to pull a double-furrow plough. Where paddocks are more square than long-rectangular it is more economical to have horses four wide in harness than two-by-two ahead, thus one horse is always on the ploughed land (the sod). The limits of strength and endurance of horses made greater than two-furrow ploughs uneconomic to use on one farm.[citation needed]
Amish farmers tend to use a team of about seven horses or mules when spring ploughing and as Amish farmers often help each other plough, teams are sometimes changed at noon. Using this method about 10 acres (40,000 m2) can be ploughed per day in light soils and about 2 acres (8,100 m2) in heavy soils.The advent of the mobile steam engine allowed steam power to be applied to ploughing from about 1850. In Europe, soil conditions were often too soft to support the weight of heavy traction engines. Instead, counterbalanced, wheeled ploughs, known as balance ploughs, were drawn by cables across the fields by pairs of ploughing engines which worked along opposite field edges. The balance plough had two sets of ploughs facing each other, arranged so when one was in the ground, the other set was lifted into the air. When pulled in one direction the trailing ploughs were lowered onto the ground by the tension on the cable. When the plough reached the edge of the field, the opposite cable was pulled by the other engine, and the plough tilted (balanced), putting the other set of shares into the ground, and the plough worked back across the field.
One set of ploughs was right-handed, and the other left-handed, allowing continuous ploughing along the field, as with the turnwrest and reversible ploughs. The man credited with the invention of the ploughing engine and the associated balance plough, in the mid nineteenth century, was John Fowler, an English agricultural engineer and inventor.[citation needed]
In America the firm soil of the Plains allowed direct pulling with steam tractors, such as the big Case, Reeves or Sawyer-Massey breaking engines. Gang ploughs of up to fourteen bottoms were used. Often these big ploughs were used in regiments of engines, so that in a single field there might be ten steam tractors each drawing a plough. In this way hundreds of acres could be turned over in a day. Only steam engines had the power to draw the big units. When internal combustion engines appeared, they had neither the strength nor the ruggedness compared to the big steam tractors. Only by reducing the number of shares could the work be completed.The Stump-jump plough was an Australian invention of the 1870s, designed to cope with the breaking up of new farming land, that contains many tree stumps and rocks that would be very expensive to remove. The plough uses a moveable weight to hold the ploughshare in position. When a tree stump or other obstruction such as a rock is encountered, the ploughshare is thrown upwards, clear of the obstacle, to avoid breaking the plough's harness or linkage; ploughing can be continued when the weight is returned to the earth after the obstacle is passed.
A simpler system, developed later, uses a concave disc (or a pair of them) set at a large angle to the direction of progress, that uses the concave shape to hold the disc into the soil – unless something hard strikes the circumference of the disk, causing it to roll up and over the obstruction. As the arrangement is dragged forward, the sharp edge of the disc cuts the soil, and the concave surface of the rotating disc lifts and throws the soil to the side. It doesn't make as good a job as the mouldboard plough (but this is not considered a disadvantage, because it helps fight the wind erosion), but it does lift and break up the soil (see disc harrow).Modern ploughs are usually multiple reversible ploughs, mounted on a tractor via a three-point linkage. These commonly have between two and as many as seven mouldboards – and semi-mounted ploughs (the lifting of which is supplemented by a wheel about half-way along their length) can have as many as eighteen mouldboards. The hydraulic system of the tractor is used to lift and reverse the implement, as well as to adjust furrow width and depth. The ploughman still has to set the draughting linkage from the tractor so that the plough is carried at the proper angle in the soil. This angle and depth can be controlled automatically by modern tractors. As a complement to the rear plough a two or three mouldboards-plough can be mounted on the front of the tractor if it is equipped with front three-point linkage.

"My invitations turned out so great! They looked exactly like what I designed online. Shipping was also unbelievably fast and I ordered with standard shipping."
"Beautiful design! We love everything about this invitation. It fits our theme of "Backwoods Boy and a Fairy Tale Princess" The best part of this process was the free designer who edited our customization and made it perfect and the great email communication. Two thumbs up!"
"I ordered this invitation for my upcoming destination wedding. Designing the invitation was easy and they have specialized reviewers who will check your projects for any spelling or grammar errors. I submitted my invite and in less than a day the reviewer had already emailed me with some recommended changes. The product arrived the exact date as promised and I was happy to see that they were larger than expected. The photo quality was excellent and all of my family friends truly loved them! I was so happy with this purchase and will definetly recommend this website to future buyers!"
"We loved these invitations. The card was nice thick quality but didn't go over the weight to use a normal stamp (Canadian stamp). The picture was excellent quality. The editor did a great job to unify the font (although did make a grammatical error but we caught it on review)."
"We made several changes. We personalized the color to make it match our accent color, gold. It came out perfect. We added spacing so there was a distinction between the venue and when the wedding is. We changed the reception font so it matches our names. The designer was so easy to work with. I am glad we chose the shimmer paper. It looks so classy. We will be mailing our invites soon."
