Hey everyone.
First of all I would like to say thanks to many of the folks here who have been really really supportive about this entire process for Candi and I...
It has not been easy by any means at all.
We have reached the 8 week mark and my vet was out at 6 weeks and did x-rays. Looks as if everything is healing well and she x-rays were/are great.
I have had some trouble handling Candi over the last few weeks. She can be very explosive sometimes and being she is in a "rehab" state there is not a lot I can do to dicipline or Re-direct her thinking and energy because she cannot do anything like "work"
We have been doing the best we can with our handwalking.
The vet was out again last Friday to check her out and we are now on a new program of action.
I am now allowed to tack her up and lunge her at the walk and over the next week I will be allowed to add in tiny spurts of trot...
Something like walk 5 min...trot 1 min...etc.
If all goes well we can increase the trot time and add in trot poles.
So today I got her all dressed up, leg boots and all, saddle and bridle and off we went.
I will say that I have started to wear my hard hat while working with her just in case...
Anyway, we were out there for about 20- 30 minutes and she only had a few tiff's when she got tad excited and wanted to trot or buck, but she never made it that far as I shut it all down pretty quickly.
When I had her out on the lunge line, I looked at her with the saddle and bridle on and since she has gained a bunch of weight I was a bit taken back by how healthy she now looks despite the surgery. She looked really big so not sure if she grew or if it is the weight.
Please keep your fingers crossed she will become more settled when a routine is established once again!
I am allowed to get on her but we are in no way going there right out of the gate......sorry...not ready for that...She needs to become more workable so I can handle it.
Baby steps....
I will try to have someone snap some photos of me with her on the lunge if I can in the next few weeks.

Note: we only give a property a rating once it has received a minimum of 3 reviews.
- " The location, breakfast, atmosphere and quality of the room are great- I would stay here again. HOWEVER, on the last night of our stay (25/6), my group encountered a female staffer in the reception whose behaviour was appalling. From the very beginning, she was snotty, made little eye contact and exuded an air of indifference to her guests. When this was made clear to her she escalated the situation by insanely threatening to CALL THE POLICE! Other guests listening expressed their shock. "
- 24 Jun 2015 Emily Denmark
- " very very friendly and nice staff, perfect location and good building structure, very clean bathrooms "
- 06 Jun 2015 Domenico Italy
- " We had a pleasant stay at Citystay Mitte, it has an excellent location and its relatively clean for being a hostel. My only negative experience was that I was charged 30 euros too much (until showing the e-mail with the receipt) and thereafter I was given a change missing 2 euros- very unprofessional first impression. "
- 22 May 2015 Anna Sweden
- " People at the reception are very nice, kindly helping me on recharging my phone and offering me much helpful information. The location is good for walking around and take common transportation to everywhere. Just hope wifi could be available in dorms later. "
- 12 May 2015 Anonymous China
- " Nothing bothered me while I stayed here. Just I hated the German train strike, but it has nothing to do with this hostel. "
- 05 May 2015 Anonymous South Korea
- " Nice place, met some cool people there. I was a little unimpressed with the lockers as they were too small for conventional backpacker bags. Also unfortunate that wifi is only in the downstairs, you have to re-log on every time, and it gets very slow when there are many people online. On the upside, that causes people to stay downstairs in the lobby (which could use a few more couches) and talk to each other. Generally a good place to stay, would stay again. "
- 01 May 2015 Vanessa USA
- " Extremely close to Museum Island and the train station. Watch the directions though, they're confusing. When you leave the S-bahn station, turn right and then take the street to the left. The directions add an extra right that really confused us. Most of the staff were very nice and friendly, the rooms and bathrooms were clean. It was super loud at night, and the beds are very uncomfortable. Overall great experience though! "
- 08 Apr 2015 Alexandria USA
- " The stay at city stay hostel was very nice. Me and my girlfriend stayed there for 5 nights and had no problems with the hostel. The staff where very friendly and helpful. The security of the building was very good as had to go through 2 card entry devises to open the doors to the building. We had shared shower room and the showers where always clean and there where showers free every time. The double room bed was ok and the room size was very good. Really good location as well. "
- 31 Mar 2015 Anonymous England
- " Very clean, staff was great and friendly and it's close to everything. Grocery store around the corner, two s bahn stations, walking distance to the gate and victory tower and Parliament as well as several clubs. "
- 21 Mar 2015 Stefana Canada
- " The room itself was very boring, but you go there for sleeping. Perfect english from the reception and very friendly and helpful, breakfast is also quite good! showers also nice and hot! "

Recent statistics from the CDC show that many teenagers think smoking is cool. The CDC says that while the number of teens who smoke keeps dropping each year, this trend is slowing. This is worrisome because cigarette use among teens leads to health problems when those teens become adults.
That is why it is important to be diligent as parents and do your best to stop your child from starting smoking.
Cigarette advertising is more limited than in the past, but still remains fairly obvious.
Despite various forms of advertising, parents who smoke and allow smoking in the home, and peers who smoke have the greatest impact on whether preadolescents and teens will take up smoking.
The CDC offers the following ideas to keep children from smoking:
Be a good role model. Don't use tobacco and don't let others use it in your home.
Give your children clear and consistent messages about the risks of tobacco use.
Volunteer to help with prevention programs. If your community doesn't have one, start one.
If your child uses tobacco, support his or her efforts to stop. Help with goal setting and give lots of positive feedback.
The CDC's Office on Smoking and Health (OSH) offers information, resources, and a variety of tobacco-reduction educational ideas. OSH's goal is to reduce death and disease caused by tobacco use and secondhand smoke. You can find resources here.

Pot Au Feu
|Beef rump roast
|2 Pound, trimmed of all visible fat and tied with string
|Canned reduced sodium beef broth
|29 Ounce (2 Cans, 14 1/2 Ounce Each)
|Canned reduced sodium chicken broth
|29 Ounce (2 Cans, 14 1/2 Ounce Each)
|4 Cup (64 tbs)
|Bay leaf
|Dried thyme
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Kosher salt
|1⁄4 Teaspoon
|Freshly ground pepper
|To Taste
|4 , split lengthwise and cleaned
|4 , peeled and cut into 2-inch pieces
|Celery heart
|1 , trimmed and cut lengthwise into 8 wedges
|2 , peeled and cut into quarters
|Green cabbage
|1⁄2 Small, trimmed and cut into 8 wedges
|Chopped fresh parsley
|2 Tablespoon
1. Combine the beef, the beef and chicken broths, and the water in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven; bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim any foam that rises to the surface, reduce the heat to medium, and add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Leaving the lid slightly ajar, gently simmer the beef until almost tender, about 2 1/2 hours. With tongs, transfer the beef to a plate.
2. Add the leeks, carrots, celery heart, turnips, and cabbage to the broth, then top with the reserved beef. Cover and simmer until the vegetables and beef are tender, about 30 minutes. Remove from the heat and let stand 20-30 minutes to blend the flavors.
3. To serve, transfer the beef to a cutting board and remove the string. Slice 1/4-inch thick and arrange the slices on a platter. Arrange the vegetables around the beef and moisten with some of the broth; sprinkle with the parsley. Serve in shallow bowls, ladling extra broth over the beef and vegetables.

Grammar Rules: Lay or Lie
One of the most common grammatical mistakes that we see in both speech and writing is misuse of the words lay and lie.
This error is so common, it even slips past professional writers, editors, and English teachers — all the time.
Maybe eventually these two words will morph into one and have the exact same meaning, but until then, it's worthwhile to learn proper usage. For now, their meanings are completely different.
Let's take a look at this interesting word pair and find out whether we should be using lay or lie based on each word's definition. Read more
Grammar Rules: i.e. and e.g.
Occasionally, we come across the abbreviations i.e. and e.g., but what do they mean, and what is the difference between them? How do grammar rules apply?
These two terms originate in the Latin language and are just two of the many Latin phrases that have survived into modern language.
Both i.e. and e.g. are abbreviations for longer Latin phrases, so one of the smartest ways to memorize these terms is to learn what they stand for.
If you speak any of the Latin languages, you'll have the upper hand in memorizing i.e. and e.g. And if you don't speak any Latin languages, then here are some tips to help you better understand these two terms. Read more
Grammar Rules: Fewer or Less
It's a battle between words: fewer or less. Are they interchangeable? Do these words have different meanings? How can we use them correctly?
Many people don't realize that these two words do not share the same meaning and therefore cannot be used interchangeably. As a result, both fewer and less are often used incorrectly.
The difference in meaning may be subtle, but it's significant and remarkably easy to remember. Let's see what Dictionary.com has to say about these two words:
fewer: adjective 1. of a smaller number: fewer words and more action.
less: adjective 1. smaller in size, amount, degree, etc.; not so large, great, or much: less money; less speed.
The grammar rules are clear; let me break them down for you. Read more
Grammar Rules: Capitalization
Proper capitalization is one of the cornerstones of good grammar, yet many people fling capital letters around carelessly.
Not every word deserves to be capitalized. It's an honor that must be warranted, and in writing, capitalization is reserved only for special words.
Most of the grammar rules are explicit about which words should be capitalized. However, there are some cases (like title case) in which the rules are vague. Read more
Grammar Rules: Subject and Verb Agreement
The rule is simple: singular subjects take singular verbs and plural subjects take plural verbs.
But sometimes it's difficult to tell whether a subject is singular or plural. That's why subject and verb agreement errors crop up in so many pieces of writing.
Making matters worse is the fact that most people don't know what subject and verb agreement means. In fact, too many people don't know a subject from a verb.
When you're fixing up your sentences and making sure they are correct, it helps to know the parts of speech, how to conjugate a verb, and how to diagram a sentence (so you can identify the subject). If you understand all those basic elements of language, then you can easily make sure your subjects and verbs agree.
Parts of Speech: Verbs
Traditionally, there are eight parts of speech: nouns, verbs, adjectives, adverbs, pronouns, prepositions, conjunctions, and interjections. As a writer, you should be able to identify all of these words in any sentence. For our purposes today, we're only concerned with verbs.
Verbs are action words: write, walk, run, dance, do, be, sit, listen, fidget, and contemplate are just a few verbs in the English language.
Conjugating Verbs
There are two types of verbs: regular verbs and irregular verbs. All verbs get conjugated based on the subject of the sentence, which is the thing or person doing the action. Here's how the regular verb dance is conjugated:
|Present Participle
|Past Participle
|He, She, It
In some languages, there are more variances in regular verb conjugations.
All regular verbs follow this same template for conjugation. Past tense takes -ed, present participle takes -ing, and so on. However, irregular verbs are a little more challenging. Each one has its own unique conjugation system. Let's take a look at the conjugation for the irregular verb write.
|Present Participle
|Past Participle
|He, She, It
As you can see, past tense and past participle render wholly new spellings (whereas regular verbs simply tack -ed to the end of the word). Keep in mind that each irregular verb has its own rules of conjugation. For a more elaborate conjugation of the verb write, check out this chart.
Identifying the Subject of a Sentence
Every proper sentence must have a subject and a verb. The most basic example would be I write, which is a complete and correct sentence. As mentioned, the verb is the action word (write). The subject is the word that does the action (I). In the sentence I write, the subject is I because that's who is doing the writing.
Let's get a little more elaborate. Take a look at the following sentence:
I write poems.
If I is the subject (doing the action) and write is the verb (the action), then poems is the object, which is receiving the action.
Subject-Verb Agreement
As you can see with the section on conjugation, different verbs will be used in a sentence depending on the subject. You can say I write but you're not supposed to say I writes or I writing. If you do, then your subject and verb do not agree. You can say She writes books, but you can't say She write books or She writed books.
We don't see a lot of mistakes with basic subject-verb agreement. In fact, such mistakes are rare for native English speakers. Kids and people who are learning English often have trouble with subject-verb agreement. And these mistakes aren't limited to English. I made plenty of errors with subject-verb agreement as a young adult learning French. It's especially problematic when irregular verbs are involved.
Easy as it seems, there are common mistakes in subject-verb agreement. Which sentence below is correct?
1. Each of the students write a book.
2. Each of the students writes a book.
If you guessed sentence number two, you guessed correctly. The following subjects all use the singular verb form: each, everyone, everybody, nobody and someone.
What about compound subjects? Which sentence below is correct?
1. My niece and nephew dance.
2. My niece and nephew dances.
The correct sentence is number one. An easy way to remember this is to replace the subject with a pronoun. In this case, "niece and nephew" would be replaced with they: They dance.
The words either and neither present an interesting challenge. Only one of the following sentences is correct:
1. Either my sister or my brother write.
2. Neither my sister nor my brother writes.
Number two is correct. With either and neither, we use the singular form of the verb. Unless one of the subjects is plural:
1. Either my sister or her friends dance.
2. Neither my sister nor her friends dances.
In this special case, the subject closest to the verb drives whether the verb is singular or plural. Since "friends" is plural, we use the plural form of dance. In this case, we replace "friends" with they to get They dance. The correct sentence is number one.
Final Challenge
As you write, you will inevitably come across puzzling constructions involving subject-verb agreement. Here's one last challenge for you to consider:
1. The team had a meeting. They decided to extend the deadline.
2. The team had a meeting. It decided to extend the deadline.
3. The team members had a meeting. They decided to extend the deadline.
How many of these paragraphs are correct?
Grammar Rules: Ending a Sentence with a Preposition
A longstanding grammar myth says we're not supposed to end a sentence with a preposition. For years, this myth has persisted, tying writers up in knots and making their heads spin around sentences that simply must end with a preposition.
For example: Which store are you going to?
Folks who were taught (and are now attached to the idea) that one should never end a sentence with a preposition will argue that the proper way to write the sentence is as follows: To which store are you going?
But nobody talks that way.
Grammar rules and myths
In the world of writing, grammar myths abound, but where do they come from? I suspect they are born not out of rules but out of rules of thumb. In many cases, it's not a good idea to end a sentence with a preposition. Allow me to demonstrate:
Where do you work at?
The problem here is not so much that the sentence ends with a preposition. It ends with a completely unnecessary word. Remove that last word and you get a much clearer, more concise, and correct sentence:
Where do you work?
This begs the question: when is it acceptable to end a sentence with a preposition? In fact, what is a preposition?
What is a preposition?
Prepositions are one of the traditional eight parts of speech in the English language. They usually indicate a direction or placement in space (in, on, toward) or perform a similar function in a more abstract and less spatial way (of, for). They tend to indicate a relationship or movement of some kind:
The book is in my hand.
Put the blanket over the bed.
Let's go to the hall of mirrors.
I have something for you.
The pens are with the paper.
Some of the most common prepositions are: on, in, to, by, for, with, at, of, from, as, under, over, about, above, below, behind, and between. There are plenty more, but you get the idea.
By the way, you can learn a lot more than you ever wanted to know about prepositions on Wikipedia.
When is it okay to end a sentence with a preposition?
If you've structured your sentence as concisely as possible, removed any unnecessary words, and the only way to refrain from ending it with a preposition is to make it sound like it arrived in a time machine from the eighteenth century, then you're probably okay keeping the preposition at the end:
Who are you going with?
What are you waiting for?
We need something to put it in.
As you can see, these are all standard sentences. They adhere to the rules of grammar yet they all end in prepositions. Just try rewriting them without prepositions at the end:
With whom are you going?
For what are you waiting?
We need something in which to put it.
These are all technically correct too, if you don't mind sounding like you were born three hundred years ago.
Try it for yourself
Take a look at the following sentence:
There's an idea I never thought of.
There's nothing technically wrong with the sentence, but we could rewrite it so it doesn't end with a preposition:
I never thought of that idea.
Which one sounds better to you?
Grammar and common sense
The issue with ending a sentence with a preposition is more a matter of style or rhetoric than grammar. If you want proof, check out this list of references on ending a sentence with a preposition.
So go forth and end sentences with prepositions, but only when it makes sense to do so. Write your sentences to be clear and concise, and you'll be fine. Keep writing!
Grammar Rules: Further and Farther
Believe it or not, farther and further each have distinctly different meanings although people tend to use them interchangeably.
And it's no surprise, because these two words look alike, sound alike, and the difference in meaning is quite subtle. Plus, there are a few circumstances when they are legitimately interchangeable.
Let's solve the farther, further mystery for once and for all.
The word farther deals with physical distance, which can be measured. One way to remember this is to recall the phrase "far away."
Examples include:
- I jog a little farther each day.
- Do you live farther away from the city now?
- The library is farther from my house than the bookstore.
Notice that in all of these examples, the word farther refers to a distance that can be measured.
Further also deals with distance, but not in the physical sense. We use further when we're talking about figurative distance or a general advancement. Further also indicates a greater degree of something. Some terms that are synonymous with further include furthermore, moreover, and in addition.
Here are examples of how to use further correctly in a sentence:
- I'll be delving further into the topic at a later date.
- I am further along in my holiday shopping than I was last year at this time.
- Further, I intend to finish my shopping before the end of the week.
Notice that in these sentences, further refers to distances that cannot be measured.
Farther / Further
In some cases, you can use either of these words, especially when the distinction isn't clear. For example, if you are discussing a book, you could argue that there is physical distance between the pages that can be measured. However, since the distance between pages is not geographical in nature, usage of farther or further is ambiguous. When it's not completely clear which word to use, you can choose either one, though it's usually safer to go with further because it has less restriction that its cousin.
- I'm further along in the book than other members of my book club.
- The other members of my book club are further along in the book than I am.
If you have any tips for remembering how to correctly use the words farther and further, then please do tell!

Ten Grammar Rules and Best Writing Practices That Every Writer Should Know
The more experience I gain as a writer, the more I'm convinced that writing is one of the most difficult skills to master. It's not enough to tell a great story, share an original idea, or create an intriguing poem; writers are also obligated to pay diligence to the craft. While the content (or message) of our writing is paramount, the way we use language can be just as critical.
Bad grammar is a distraction. If you can write a riveting story, readers will probably overlook a few grammatical problems. However, each mistake or incorrect construction will momentarily yank readers out of the story. Sure, they can jump back in, but it makes for a negative or unpleasant reading experience.
Good craftsmanship involves more than simply knowing the grammar rules or adhering to a style guide. It includes making smart word choices, constructing sentences that flow smoothly, and writing in a way that is neither awkward nor confusing.
10 Vital Grammar Rules and Best Writing Practices
The best writing follows the rules of grammar (or breaks those rules only with good reason) and is clear, coherent, and consistent.
In my work as a writing coach and as an avid reader, I see a lot of the same mistakes. These mistakes aren't typos or occasional oversights. They appear repeatedly, among multiple writers and pieces of writing, and they make it weak or dull.
Most writers don't want their work to be weak or dull. We want our writing to be strong and vibrant. If we learn the grammar rules and adopt best practices in the craft, our writing can shine.
Here are ten of most frequently ignored (or unknown) grammar rules and writing practices:
- Commas: except for the period, the comma is the most common punctuation mark and the most misused. It's a tricky one because the rules are scarce, leaving usage up to style guides and writers' best judgement. In weak writing, there are too few or too many commas. Be consistent in how you use commas and strike the right balance.
- Avoid weak words: very, really, and the verbs to be, to have, and to do are often markers of weak, amateur writing. Sometimes, we need to use these words, but there is often a more specific or vivid word available.
- Verb and tense agreement: these errors are often the result of shoddy editing and proofreading. A sentence that was originally in perfect past tense is changed to simple past tense but one of the words in the sentence is overlooked and you end up with something like She went the store and had shopped for produce. Another example would be The cats has one bowl.
- Stay away from passive voice: avoid passive constructions like The book was read by the girl. Passive voice is awkward, renders unnecessary verbiage, and sounds old-fashioned. Active voice is better: The girl read the book.
- Check your homophones: homophones are little devils because spell check won't catch them and they often sneak past editor's eyes. Too many youngsters aren't taught proper homophone use (in other words, they don't know spellings or definitions of their vocabulary). From common sets of homophones like they're, their, and there to more advanced words like complement and compliment, it pays to learn proper usage and to proofread meticulously.
- Rare or uncommon punctuation marks: if you decide to use a punctuation mark like the ellipsis (three dots) or semicolon (comma with a period over it), then take the time to learn what it's called and how to use it properly.
- Watch your pronouns: too many pronouns in a sentence cause confusion and makes it difficult for the reader to keep track of who is saying and doing what. Use the noun or name first in a paragraph, then use pronouns to refer back to whomever (or whatever) you're talking about.
- Only proper nouns are capitalized: for some reason, a lot of people have taken it upon themselves to freely capitalize any words they think are important, a practice that is rampant in business writing. The Product is on Sale Now is not a grammatically correct sentence.
- Extraneous words (verbiage): verbiage is not text or writing; it is extraneous, unnecessary language. The best sentences and paragraphs contain only words that are absolutely necessary. They communicate as simply and straightforwardly as possible. Keep it simple and edit the excess!
- Consistency is key: the grammar rules don't cover everything. As a writer, you will constantly be challenged to make judicious decisions about how to construct your sentences and paragraphs. Always be consistent. Keeping a style guide handy will be a tremendous help.
Of course, this list is just a taste of grammar rules and best writing practices that are often overlooked. What are some of the most common grammatical errors you've observed? Do you have any best writing practices to share? Leave a comment!
Breaking Grammar Rules in Poetry Writing
Accomplished writers respect the rules of grammar the way an acrobat respects the tightrope — grammar might be intimidating and complicated, but we need it in order to perform.
Yet sometimes, an acrobat takes her foot off the tightrope. She does a flip or some other trick of physical prowess that seems to defy the laws of gravity and exceed the potential of the human body.
Grammar rules lend structure and clarity to our writing and gives us common ground rules that we can use to communicate clearly and effectively, just like the tightrope gives the acrobat a foundation upon which to walk.
So when does a writer take her foot off the rules of grammar so she can perform spectacular tricks?
Good Grammar in Poetry Writing
I'm often asked by writers and poets how they should handle grammar, capitalization, and punctuation in poetry. When it comes to grammar rules, is poetry writing the exception?
Many poets demonstrate grammatical expertise, neatly parking periods and commas in their designated spaces and paying homage to proper capitalization.
Consider the following poem and how it follows the rules of grammar. Note that in poetry writing, the traditional rule is that the first letter of each line is capitalized regardless of whether or not it starts a new sentence.
Aunt Jennifer's Tigers
By Adrienne Rich
Aunt Jennifer's tigers prance across a screen,
Bright topaz denizens of a world of green.
They do not fear the men beneath the tree;
They pace in sleek chivalric certainty.
Aunt Jennifer's finger fluttering through her wool
Find even the ivory needle hard to pull.
The massive weight of Uncle's wedding band
Sits heavily upon Aunt Jennifer's hand.
When Aunt is dead, her terrified hands will lie
Still ringed with ordeals she was mastered by.
The tigers in the panel that she made
Will go on prancing, proud and unafraid.
Writing Poetry Without Grammar Rules
Poets don't always follow the rules, which is why poetry is attractive to writers who are especially creative, rebellious, and enjoy coloring outside the lines.
Grammar rules, particularly spelling and punctuation, are nothing more than a creative tool for many poets who choose to dismiss these rules altogether or use the them to decorate and add aesthetic elements to a poem.
Many poets have skirted grammar with great success. Many more have failed. E.E. Cummings is well known for giving grammar the proverbial finger, but he takes his anarchy one step further and actually alters basic sentence structure, and manages to do so quite effectively.
anyone lived in a pretty how town
By ee cummings
anyone lived in a pretty how town
(with up so floating many bells down)
spring summer autumn winter
he sang his didn't he danced his did.
Women and men (both little and small)
cared for anyone not at all
they sowed their isn't they reaped their same
sun moon stars rain
children guessed (but only a few
and down they forgot as up they grew
autumn winter spring summer)
that noone loved him more by more
when by now and tree by leaf
she laughed his joy she cried his grief
bird by snow and stir by still
anyone's any was all to her
someones married their everyones
laughed their cryings and did their dance
(sleep wake hope and then)they
said their nevers they slept their dream
stars rain sun moon
(and only the snow can begin to explain
how children are apt to forget to remember
with up so floating many bells down)
one day anyone died i guess
(and noone stooped to kiss his face)
busy folk buried them side by side
little by little and was by was
all by all and deep by deep
and more by more they dream their sleep
noone and anyone earth by april
with by spirit and if by yes.
Women and men (both dong and ding)
summer autumn winter spring
reaped their sowing and went their came
sun moon stars rain
Cummings has dismissed capital letters altogether and he uses punctuation seemingly at random. Yet the poem works. Imagine it with the proper grammar rules applied and you'll quickly realize that his way is more effective for this piece and what he's trying to accomplish with language.
Poetry Writing – Where Rules and Creativity Cooperate or Collide
As the poetry canon grows beyond measure, poets increasingly reach for creative devices to make their work stand out.
Toying with grammar rules is one such device, but it is not something that can be approached carelessly. If you choose to forgo the rules because you don't know them rather than as a creative technique, your lack of knowledge will show and the poem will present as amateurish. Of course, that's true for all types of writing: learn the rules, and only after you have learned them, go ahead and break them.
I salute anyone who breaks the rules in the interest of art and great poetry writing just as much as I admire poets who craft meter and verse within the confines of grammar. So for this language-loving poet, either way is the right way. Walk the tight rope or jump from it and see if you can fly.

Grammar Rules: Split Infinitives
It's important that we, as writers, know the tools of our trade. Part of our job is to understand the mechanics of language, which includes grammar rules. Yet many writers find themselves asking…
What are split infinitives?
It's a term that grammarians and linguists throw around a lot, yet few people, including writers, seem to know what it means.
According to Wikipedia:
A split infinitive or cleft infinitive is an English-language grammatical construction in which a word or phrase, usually an adverb or adverbial phrase, comes between the marker to and the bare infinitive (uninflected) form of a verb.
So, what's an infinitive? What's a bare infinitive? Understanding these terms will help us figure out what split infinitives are.
An infinitive, or bare infinitive is a simple form of a verb. Examples include write, go, talk, sit, and understand.
When a participle, such as to, appears before an infinitive, it is then referred to as a full infinitive. Examples include to write, to go, to talk, to sit, and to understand.
So, how do we get split infinitives?
Infinitives become split infinitives when another word is inserted between the participle (also called a marker) and the bare infinitive:
We want to truly understand English grammar.
In the example above, the participle is to and the bare infinitive is understand. The full infinitive to understand is split by the adverb truly.
That's simple enough. So, what's the fuss?
As split infinitives became more popular in the 19th century, some grammatical authorities sought to introduce a prescriptive rule against them. The construction is still the subject of disagreement among native English speakers as to whether refraining from split infinitives is grammatically correct or good style.
In 1926, Henry Fowler wrote, "No other grammatical issue has so divided English speakers since the split infinitive was declared to be a solecism in the 19c: raise the subject of English usage in any conversation today and it is sure to be mentioned." (source: Wikipedia)
Today, however, most linguists agree that split infinitives are acceptable.
Grammar Rules, Style, and Split Infinitives
While the grammar rules regarding split infinitives are being debated, style dictates that we write our sentences to be clear and consistent. Let's take another look at our example sentence, but let's move the adverb so our infinitive is no longer split:
We truly want to understand English grammar.
Note that this sentence sounds clearer, but we've changed the meaning. In the original example sentence, the adverb truly modified the phrase to understand. Here, it modifies want. When splitting infinitives, we need to make sure the word doing the splitting is modifying the right words in the sentence.
Let's rewrite the sentence while keeping the meaning intact:
We want to master English grammar.
Here, the split infinitive to truly understand is replaced with stronger, more precise wording. Instead of truly understanding English grammar, we want to master it! This sentence is far clearer than the original. It has more punch, it doesn't include a (somewhat questionable) split infinitive, and it communicates the exact same idea.
Split infinitives can sound awkward or clumsy when there's a simpler, clearer way to construct the sentence.
The Final Frontier
One of the most famous of all split infinitives occurs in the opening sequence of Star Trek:
"Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before." – Captain James T. Kirk
If you can find the participle (marker), the bare infinitive (simple form of the verb), and the adverb (which is causing the split) in the excerpt above, then you're up to speed on split infinitives. Finally, ask yourself how it could be rewritten without the split infinitive. Does it sound better or worse?
Now you know all about split infinitives. You know:
- What split infinitives are
- How to identify split infinitives
- Split infinitives are acceptable, but
- Split infinitives can make a piece of writing awkward, so
- Use split infinitives with care

Grammar Rules: That and Which
There's a lot of confusion about that and which. These two words are often used interchangeably, even though they're not necessarily interchangeable.
Historically, that and which may have carried the same meaning, and some English dialects may allow for that and which to be swapped without affecting the meaning of a sentence.
However, in American English, the grammar rules offer a distinct difference between the two words. By the time you're done reading this post, you'll fully understand the difference between that and which, and you'll be able to use both words correctly.
That and Which
As with most grammar rules, there are exceptions and exemptions from the standard ways that and which should be used in a sentence. To gain understanding of confusing word pairs, it's always best to start with the basics. As we look at how to properly use that and which, we'll focus on basic, standard usage.
That and which can be categorized into several different parts of speech. Both words can function as adjectives and pronouns. Additionally, that can serve as a conjunction and as an adverb. Today, we're looking at how that and which should be used when they are working as relative pronouns.
Relative Pronouns
From Wikipedia: "A relative pronoun is a pronoun that marks a relative clause within a larger sentence. It is called a relative pronoun because it relates to the word that it modifies."
Like adjectives and adverbs, relative pronouns modify other words. Adjectives modify nouns:
- I have a car.
- I have a red car.
Adverbs modify verbs:
- I am walking.
- I am walking quickly.
The main difference between adjectives and adverbs is that adjectives usually modify things (nouns) while adverbs modify actions (verbs). Relative pronouns also modify words, but they often do so as clauses rather than as single, descriptive words. In the examples below, the clauses are italicized.
- Bring me the bucket.
- Bring me the bucket that has apples in it.
- The bucket, which has apples in it, is blue.
The difference between the words that and which, and how they are used as relative pronouns, depends on whether the clause they belong to is restrictive or nonrestrictive.
Restrictive and Nonrestrictive Clauses
Restrictive Clauses Are Necessary
A restrictive clause is necessary to the meaning of a sentence. For example:
- The bucket that has apples in it is the one I want.
If you removed the clause "that has apples in it," the meaning of the sentence would be lost. The clause is necessary to the meaning of the sentence and is therefore a restrictive clause. Because it's a restrictive clause, it should take the relative pronoun that.
Nonrestrictive Clauses are Unnecessary
A nonrestrictive clause is not necessary to the meaning of a sentence. In fact, it can be removed from a sentence without affecting its meaning. For example:
- The bucket, which is blue, has apples in it.
- There are apples in the bucket, which is blue.
If you removed the nonrestrictive clause "which is blue," from either of the sentences above, the meaning of the sentences would not be lost. We'd still know that the bucket has apples in it. Note that in the second example, the nonrestrictive clause adds information about something that has already been identified. Because the clause is unnecessary to the meaning of the sentence, we know it's a nonrestrictive clause, and therefore should take the relative pronoun which.
- Use that before a restrictive clause.
- Use which before a nonrestrictive clause.
The Easy Way to Remember the Difference Between That and Which
I Needed That
If you need the clause to maintain a sentence's meaning, then use that. A quick trick for remembering this grammar rule is the phrase "I needed that."
Because which is also an interrogative pronoun used to mark questions, it is questionable. You can take it or leave it. It's not necessary. Think of the word which with a question mark (which?) to remind yourself that if the clause's presence is questionable and can be removed, then you should use the word which to introduce the clause.
Exceptions and Notes
Here are some exceptions and notes to these rules.
- Which can be used restrictively when it's preceded by a preposition. For example, "The bucket in which the apples have been stored is blue."
- Which is almost always preceded by a comma, parenthesis, or a dash.
- In British English, there is little distinction between that and which.

Grammar Rules: Who vs. Whom
It sounds pretty old fashioned: To whom have you sent those letters? Modern colloquial speakers expect something more along the lines of Who did you send those letters to?
While whom may sound outdated, it can pose a problem, especially if you're writing for an erudite audience or if you are a stickler for using words properly and adhering to all known grammar rules.
In the example above, the second sentence (Who did you send those letters to?) breaches the standards set forth by proper grammar by ending a sentence with a preposition, and it breaks the rules of usage in the ongoing battle of who vs. whom.
Here are the two grammar rules violated by our example sentence:
- It ends with a preposition
- It uses who where whom is the correct interrogative pronoun
It's worth noting that many grammarians today are increasingly granting exception to ending sentences with prepositions. As more and more writers and speakers place prepositions at the end of sentences, the practice is becoming more and more acceptable.
However, we're not here to talk about prepositions. We're going to take a look at how to properly use the words who or whom in a sentence.
Interrogative Pronoun! Are You Kidding?
Yeah, I guess it sounds pretty high-brow, and no, I'm not kidding. As I've mentioned before, I'm not one of those grammar snobs. I do, however, believe that writers who learn the rules can better get away with breaking them. If you are a writer, then it couldn't possibly hurt to know what an interrogative pronoun is and how to use it in a sentence, correctly.
Plus, learning about interrogative pronouns will help you know the difference between who vs. whom.
Interrogative Pronoun
Simply put, an interrogative pronoun is a pronoun that is used in a question. You know these words: who, what, where, when, why, and how. Whence and whither are also interrogative pronouns, but I'll spare you on those. For now.
Who Uses Whom Nowadays?
The word whom seems to have fallen out of favor, although some crotchety old aunt or anal-retentive English teacher might force it into your vocabulary at some point. For all I know, whom could still be used in British English, Canadian English, or Aussie speak. It's safe to assume that a high profile writing assignment (Ph.D, anyone?) would require you to adhere to strict rules, and to use whom where it would be expected. Also, if you were writing a historical novel or perhaps a fantasy tale with a medieval flair, you'd want to know such things so your characters would have realistic dialogue.
It's also worth noting that as you learn the correct applications of who and whom, you may acquire a taste for using these words more properly, especially in writing (but probably not so much in your speech).
So, What's the Difference between Who and Whom?
First I'll give you the technical answer, and then I'll follow up with a trick to help you remember whether to use who or whom in your own sentence crafting.
- Who refers to the subject of a sentence, while whom refers to the object.
Yep, it's that simple.
I see you.
In the sentence above, I is the subject and you is the object. I always remember subject as the giver (or doer) and object as the receiver (of an action). In this example, I am doing the action (seeing) and you are receiving the action (getting seen). Now let's replace the subject and object with an interrogative pronoun.
When the subject is an interrogative pronoun, use who.
Since who is the proper interrogative pronoun for representing a sentence's subject, you could say:
Who sees you?
(I do. I see you.)
When the object of a sentence is an interrogative pronoun, use whom.
I see whom? or Whom do I see?
(I see you.)
The following sentences would be incorrect: Who do I see? Whom sees you?
Quick Trick for Remember Who vs. Whom
Some months ago, while listening to Grammar Girl (one of my favorite podcasts), I picked up a neat little trick for remembering when to use who vs. whom. Both whom and him are pronouns that end with the letter m. So, all you do is remove the interrogative pronoun and replace it with he or him.
If you would replace the interrogative pronoun (who or whom) with him, then you should use whom:
I see whom?
I see him.
Whom did I see?
I saw him.
But if you would replace the interrogative pronoun (who or whom) with he, then you should use who:
Who saw me?
He saw me.
Grammar sure is fun.
Do you ever struggle with whether to use who or whom in a sentence? Got any tips or tricks for remembering who vs. whom? Leave a comment, and keep sticking to those grammar rules!

A Clubbable Man
Lord Dunsany's fantastic tales of Joseph Jorkens, the club storyteller, come back into print.
Jul 19, 2004, Vol. 9, No. 42 • By MICHAEL DIRDA
But Dunsany also composed another kind of fantastic tale, slightly more hard-edged, with twists worthy of O. Henry. Consider "Two Bottles of Relish," which explains the grotesque reason a man who has murdered a young woman should chop down all the trees in his yard. More often than not, these later works strongly suggest a storyteller entertaining a company of listeners. His classic chess story, "The Three Sailors' Gambit," starts this way: "Sitting some years ago in the ancient tavern at Over, one afternoon in spring, I was waiting as was my custom for something strange to happen." Another, "The Three Infernal Jokes," begins: "This is the story that the desolate man told me on the lonely Highland road one autumn evening with winter coming on and the stags roaring."
In such tales the voice of the narrator and the frame--a tavern, a sitting room before a hearth, a library--are surprisingly important, for they create, however factitiously, the sense that these are true memories, personal anecdotes, fragments that we might have heard ourselves, had we been there.
Dunsany worked in this form most unforgettably in the reminiscences of Mr. Joseph Jorkens. Related as he sits by the fire in the Billiards Club, Jorkens's anecdotes are tall tales: adventures with unicorns and mermaids and ancient curses, accounts of giant diamonds, Martian exploration, and trees that walk.
All of them are conveyed with a wistful air, in a perfectly serious tone. There's no way to prove them or disprove them. But when the night is chill and the fire burns low..."The talk had veered round to runes and curses and witches, one bleak December evening, where a few of us sat warm in easy chairs round the cheery fire of the Billiards Club. 'Do you believe in witches?' one of us said to Jorkens. 'It isn't what I believe in that matters so much,' said Jorkens; 'only what I have seen.'" And off we go.
Dunsany published five compilations of these addictive stories, starting with The Travel Tales of Mr. Joseph Jorkens (1931) and Jorkens Remembers Africa (1934). These two make up the first volume (of an intended three) of The Collected Jorkens, a new reprinting edited by our leading Dunsany scholar, S.T. Joshi. They should not be missed by anyone who cares for marvels and mysteries, for tales of strange seas and shores.
Indeed, this edition has been long awaited, as the original volumes are scarce, and some exchange hands for several hundred dollars in the used-book market, when they can be found at all. I own the first two collections, as well as the relatively common Fourth Book of Jorkens (1948), but in a lifetime of visiting used-book stores, I've never seen Jorkens Has a Large Whiskey (1940) and Jorkens Borrows Another Whiskey (1954), which will presumably make up the next installment from Nightshade Press (due out sometime this year). The third volume will include stories never published in Dunsany's lifetime, making a total beyond the 127 already known.
ACCORDING TO THEIR PRESENTER--ostensibly Dunsany himself--Jorkens's reminiscences have been given to the public "so that men and women to whom the Billiards Club means nothing may come by scraps of knowledge of far corners of Earth, or tittle tattle about odd customs of some of its queer folk, which would otherwise be lost with the anecdotes that were only told to help pass a dingy afternoon or to recompense a friend for the trifling favor of a large whiskey and soda."
Now aged, fat, and always in need of a fresh drink, Jorkens looks back on his early years with a nostalgia born from the knowledge that, in Wordsworth's phrase, "there hath passed away a glory from the earth." Once upon a time, the world was commensurate with our dreams. But no more. "Those were beautiful times," laments Jorkens, "and we've spoiled them; we've spoiled them with too much noise and too much hurry; we've let machinery loose on them. . . . Those were quiet and happy days; a little of them remains in the corners of old gardens, where they look as though they were hiding; but not much."
In the past, or at least in Jorkens's past, you could travel to Africa, or Russia, or any of the distant parts of the empire, and naturally expect to encounter the unusual. The world was a realm of marvels. Once, for instance, Jorkens found himself surrounded by African warriors who dressed--well, let him tell it: "'Eighty-five men with spears, of a tribe that I did not know, and every one of them in evening dress. . . . White ties, white waistcoats,' said Jorkens quietly. 'In fact just what you are wearing now, except that they had rather heavier watch-chains, and they all wore diamond solitaires.'"

Availability of Wisconsin's Family Care program could be decided soon
Madison - For 13 years - and quite possibly for two more years to come - taxpayers and communities in some Wisconsin counties have enjoyed a state program for the elderly and disabled while others who pay the same taxes have not.
The debate over Gov. Scott Walker's upcoming budget bill will likely determine whether Wisconsin makes progress this year or next in ending this two-tiered system in which 57 counties in Wisconsin have Family Care and 15 do not. »Read Full Article(28)

The 427's power is channeled through the Z06's stock six-speed trans (with a heavy-duty clutch, of course), a hardened driveshaft, hardened halfshafts, and out to the Hoosier-shod CCW 16-inch racing wheels. A set of racing "skinnies" is up front.
Suspension and chassis mods are few: HAL QA1 adjustable shocks, high-performance brake pads, and a transmission brace. Star Chassis also stitched a six-point rollcage into the car's frame. Outwardly, the visual accents include a Motor City Molds hood, an RKSport spoiler, and BPP headlamps.
Not surprisingly, this Vette has garnered more than a couple of show awards, but its real forte is the dragstrip, where a good launch helps shove the car down the track in less than 10 seconds. Such performance is a balancing act for Leake, who says maintaining the car's streetability was a goal from the project's start. "When you're running 9s, it's a fine line between street car and all-out race car," he says. "So far, so good."
A fine line, yes--but also the stuff that generates a reputation of mythical proportion.

Fun, genuine and a great sense of humor...
My friends would describe me as "fun, honest and outgoing." I would tell you that I am down to earth and have a great sense of humor. I have three beautiful daughters, two live far away and one fairly close by, but I enjoy spending time with them when I can. I am very dedicated to my my job and my friends, even though my friends all live in Boston. I have the opportunity to travel to the northeast quite often for my job. I was on match about two years ago and within one month, found myself in a relationship (Obviously, that did not work out). I moved to North Carolina about 10 months ago and am hoping to meet some new friends, hence, here I am on match. I am a very sincere person who loves to spend time with my family and friends. I am adventurous and outgoing and love to be spontaneous when the situation allows. I am looking for a good friend who I can travel with, talk to and confide in. He must be self-confident and value the important things in life and should always try to see the glass half full. I love sports and am a devout Red Sox fan (even though I grew up in NY) and I love to watch collegiate football, basketball and hockey. I have lived in the northeast, southeast, midwest and also in Germany for three years. My favorite thing to do is travel. Whether it be a weekend at the beach or downhill skiing, I'm game. I try to stay active and go to the gym at least three times a week (okay, sometimes twice a week), and enjoy playing tennis, volleyball and softball. With regards to travel, I'm just as happy going to the mountains of Western North Carolina as I am the beaches of California. I would like to meet someone who loves to see new places, yet is independent enough to go fishing while I am on the beach reading a good book. I haven't always made the best decisions when it comes to relationships, but I have learned important lessons along the way. I am looking for a good friend, so if you think we may have something in common, send me an email...

Appeals Court Restores NDAA's Indefinite Detention Provisions
Posted By John Glaser On October 3, 2012 @ 11:42 am In News | Comments Disabled
A federal appeals court of three Obama-appointed judges has rejected a previous ruling barring the government from enforcing the indefinite detention provisions in a recent national defense bill.
Congress passed the National Defense Authorization Act last year, which includes provisions codifying indefinite detention for individuals suspected of allying with or supporting al-Qaeda or its affiliates.
Judge Katherine B. Forrest last month blocked the government from enforcing those particular statutes on grounds that they violate Constitutionally guaranteed rights to due process, in a case brought against the government by journalists and academics including Chris Hedges, Daniel Ellsberg, and Noam Chomsky.
The Obama administration immediately appealed Forrest's ruling, asking for an "immediate stay," or suspension of the case's proceedings. When Forrest denied the request, the government went to the Second US Court of Appeals in Manhattan and asked another judge for an emergency stay, which Judge Raymond J. Lohier granted.
The latest appeals court extended the stay, undermining Judge Forrest's ruling that the government should be barred from enforcing the law.
"We conclude that the public interest weighs in favor of granting the government's motion for a stay," Appeals Court Judges Denny Chin, Raymond Lohier and Christopher Droney wrote in a statement on their ruling.
The appeals court ruled that, since the government has promised that citizens, journalists, and activists are not in danger of being detained as a result of this law, it is unnecessary to block its enforcement.
Both parties in the case have been directed by the court to file reply briefs in the next few months, through to December, after which a new calendar date will be scheduled to argue the case again. So, at least for the next few months, the NDAA's detention provisions are in effect.
