United Against Nuclear Iran (UANI) is a bipartisan advocacy organization closely tied to neoconservative and other "pro-Israel" factions that promotes a confrontational U.S. stance towards Iran, particularly with respect to its nuclear program. Its goal is to prevent Tehran from fulfilling its purported "ambition to become a regional super-power possessing nuclear weapons."
A program of the American Coalition Against Nuclear Iran, Inc., a 501(c)(3) organization, UANI's aims include informing "the public about the nature of the Iranian regime"; heightening "awareness nationally and internationally about the danger that a nuclear-armed Iran poses to the region and the world"; persuading "the regime in Tehran to desist from its quest for nuclear weapons, while striving not to punish the Iranian people"; and promoting "efforts that focus on vigorous national and international, social, economic, political, and diplomatic measures."[1]
Gary Samore, a former arms control adviser to the Obama administration, served as UANI's president from September 2013 to August 2015. He stepped down after a nuclear agreement was reached with Iran in July 2015, which he supported. "Gary ultimately supports the agreement and is stepping down to avoid any conflict with UANI's work in opposition to the agreement," a UANI statement released at the time stated.[2]
A writer for MSNBC said of the events: "We've reached the point at which United Against Nuclear Iran has failed to persuade its own chairman that the deal must be derailed. A lobbying group that exists to oppose the deal has parted ways with its boss, who supports the deal."[3]
Samore's departure from UANI prompted a reshuffling of the organization's leadership, with the group's former executive director, David Ibsen, becoming its new president. Former Sen. Joseph Lieberman, a longtime neoconservative ally of UANI and member of its board of advisors, was appointed UANI's new chairman. "Senator Lieberman will play a key leadership role throughout UANI's efforts to educate and inform the American public regarding the serious shortcomings of the Iran nuclear deal," UANI announced.[4]
UANI's CEO is Mark Wallace, a businessman and former diplomat who served as the George W. Bush administration's alternate ambassador to the United Nations alongside John Bolton.[5]
UANI employs a multi-pronged approach to isolate the Iranian regime economically and diplomatically, primarily by discouraging corporations from doing business in the country. On the legislative front, UANI "develops model legislation for adoption by the federal government and U.S. state governments to sever Iran from international trade and financial markets and prohibit investment in Iran." According to its website, several of UANI's recommendations were included in the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act of 2010.[6]
UANI has also targeted companies directly, organizing petitions and "name and shame" campaigns aimed at specific companies it says are doing business with Iran. UANI claims credit for persuading "such corporate heavyweights as General Electric, Huntsman, Caterpillar, Ingersoll Rand, KPMG, Komatsu" to suspend their Iran business, as well as for securing legislative victories in California, New York, and Florida.[7] The group also has a specialized "shipping campaign" to "embargo Iran's shipping and port sectors."[8] As part of this effort, it developed the "Maritime Intelligence Network and Rogue Vessel Analysis (MINERVA) system," which tracks purported Iranian shipping vessels, attempting to show how Iran has attempted to circumvent sanctions by clandestinely exporting oil.[9]
In an earlier campaign, UANI pressured New York hotels to deny lodging to Iranian officials visiting the city for UN business, including then-President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.[10]
In addition to its business-oriented work, UANI also publishes reports and talking points on Iran and its alleged nuclear weapons program, promoting notions that the Center for Research on Globalization has characterized as "propagandistic."[11] Among its claims, UANI asserts that Iran is actively developing "nuclear weapons capability" and suggests that the country may have been connected to the 9/11 attacks—both ideas that have been strongly disputed by U.S. intelligence experts.[12]
Although UANI has generally avoided open calls for war, the group has on occasion explicitly promoted the use of military threats or action. In October 2011, for example, after an Iranian-American was arrested for an alleged plot to assassinate the Saudi ambassador to the United States in Washington, UANI called on President Barack Obama to"make it clear that Iran will face consequences for its actions, including military retaliation for attacks on Americans."[13]
Much of UANI's work has stressed the dominance of hardliners within the Iranian political establishment. The 2013 election of President Hassan Rouhani—a comparatively moderate candidate who campaigned on reaching a diplomatic accommodation with the West—did little to affect the group's posturing. "While the new Iranian President speaks the language of conciliation, as it stands, the regime's nuclear program and odious behavior continue," read a statement on UANI's website.[14]
UANI's former president Gary Samore similarly attempted to lower expectations surrounding the nuclear negotiations between Iran and the group of world powers known as the P5+1 that followed Rouhani's election. "What [the Iranians are] offering is really no different than what we've heard from the previous government, from Ahmadinejad's government for the last couple of years," Samore said in October 2013, after the Iranians tentatively offered to cap their nuclear enrichment at 20 percent and submit to additional inspections. "They continue to reject any physical limits on their enrichment capacity—meaning the number and type of centrifuge machines, the stockpile of enriched material that they have in country."[15]
UANI characterized the interim agreement that followed the initial talks—which entailed significant restrictions on Iran's nuclear enrichment in exchange for token sanctions relief while a comprehensive agreement was negotiated—as a "disappointment," complaining that the sanctions relief offered in the deal was "disproportionate."[16]
The group's attacks on the diplomatic process drew criticism from the Obama administration. According to Salon, "a former Obama administration official who worked closely on Middle East policy" complained privately that "UANI and its allies 'play the politics for the short-term but they don't offer anything in terms of answers for the long term. … [T]hey're not really interested in ensuring that Iran does not acquire a nuclear weapon. Iran bashing for pro-Israel groups is very common, but I'm concerned that they don't understand that failure to address this issue will ensure that Iran gets the bomb or we're headed toward war.'"[17]
UANI opposed the comprehensive nuclear deal reached between Iran and six world powers in July 2015, announcing that it would launch a "multi-million dollar campaign to educate the American people on the Iran nuclear agreement's key deficiencies and weaknesses."[18]
UANI's decision to lobby against the Iran nuclear deal spurred its own president, Gary Samore, to step down from his post. "I think President Obama's strategy succeeded. He has created economic leverage and traded it away for Iranian nuclear concessions," Samore said at the time.[19]
Ideological Connections and Funding
UANI claims to be politically centrist, and its advisory board has included a number of prominent academics and political centrists, including Graham Allison, Walter Russell Meade, and Leslie Gelb.
However, the board's membership has included a host of neoconservatives and right-wing nationalists, including former Sen. Joe Lieberman, a neoconservative Democrat who fell out with his party over his support for the Iraq War; James Woolsey, a former CIA director and high-profile neoconservative activist; Roger Noriega, a former U.S. representative to the U.S. Mission of the Organization of American States; Henry Sokolski, a hawkish strategic weapons expert; Mike Gerson, a torture advocate and former spokesperson for President Bush; Mark Lagon, a former State Department official who later served as an aide to Jeane Kirkpatrick at the American Enterprise Institute; and Otto Reich, a controversial Reagan-era figure implicated in the Iran-Contra scandal who maintains close ties to right-wing factions in Latin America.[20]
UANI's CEO is Mark Wallace, a former U.S. diplomat at the United Nations, legal adviser to the Department of Homeland Security, and deputy campaign manager for the 2004 reelection campaign of President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney. The group advertises two original cofounders, both of whom were given high profile posts in the administration of President Barack Obama: the late Richard Holbrooke and the controversial "pro-Israel" U.S diplomat Dennis Ross.[21]
UANI also claims to represent a coalition of like-minded advocacy organizations. Coalition members, according to its website, include Christian Leaders for a Nuclear-Free Iran, the American Iranian Democracy Initiative, the Democratic Party of Iranian Kurdistan, the Iran Task Force, Iran Watch, the Free Muslims Coalition, the Progressive American-Iranian Committee, the Wisconsin Project on Nuclear Arms Control, the Arcadia Foundation, and the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center. Other partners include neoconservative groups like the Foundation for Defense of Democracies and Réalité-EU, as well as Republican groups like the Log Cabin Republicans.[22]
In July 2015, journalist Eli Clifton reported that "the top donors to UANI are a pair of trusts associated with the billionaire Thomas Kaplan and a family foundations operated by Republican mega-donor Sheldon Adelson and his wife Miriam." According to Clifton, Kaplan and Adelson accounted for "more than three-quarters" of the group's total revenue for 2013.[23]
The revelation of Adelson and Kaplan being UANI's biggest sponsors also led Clifton to question UANI's "professed non-partisanship." Clifton noted that Adelson gives "almost exclusively to the Republican Party" and that Kaplan gives to Republicans "at a ratio of roughly 10 to 1."[24]
UANI reported a budget of around $1.2 million in 2013,[25] down from its peak of over $2.7 million in 2009.[26]
UANI's political connections attracted considerable scrutiny in 2014 amid revelations that the organization possessed information considered sensitive by the U.S. government.
The story came to light amid a legal battle between UANI and Greek shipping magnate Victor Restis, who filed a defamation suit against UANI after it accused him and his company of violating international sanctions against Iran and called them "frontmen for the illicit activities of the Iranian regime." According to the New York Times, Restis and his attorneys charged that UANI was under the sway of "unidentified foreign interests"—presumably Israel—and attempted to subpoena the group's donor records, along with testimony from an Israeli businessman and Meir Dagan, the former Mossad chief who has served as an adviser to UANI.[27]
In a surprise move, the U.S. Justice Department intervened to prevent the release of UANI's donor records. According to the Times, "Government lawyers said they had a 'good faith basis to believe that certain information' would jeopardize law enforcement investigations, reveal investigative techniques, or identify confidential sources if released." The paper called the Justice Department's intervention "highly unusual" and noted that "American intelligence agencies are prohibited from secretly working with organizations to influence American public opinion and media. If the information does not belong to the government, it is not clear what makes it so sensitive. … Either way, the court filings indicated close ties between the American government and a group that has proved adept at pressuring the government and corporations to isolate Iran economically."[28]
The news prompted speculation about what other information might be contained in UANI's donor records. Journalist Eli Clifton, for instance, highlighted in a 2014 investigative report UANI's ties to a billionaire mining magnate. "Among the pieces of heretofore undisclosed information the Justice Department's shield might prevent from coming to light is the connection between UANI and one of the biggest investors in precious metals, Thomas S. Kaplan," reported Clifton. Clifton noted that UANI CEO Mark Wallace has served concurrently as CEO of the Tigris Financial Group, which Clifton described as "an investment group controlled by Kaplan." Other UANI employees have reportedly held positions at the Electrum Group, another Kaplan-controlled outfit.[29]
According to Clifton, Kaplan is a major proponent of investing in precious metals as a hedge against political unrest. Kaplan and Wallace, he wrote, "are betting big on investments in precious metals they say will retain or appreciate in value in an unstable economic and geopolitical environment. By Tigris' own account, it stands to make money in the case of 'political unrest in the Middle East'—exactly the kind of instability many experts think will become inevitable if naysayers of diplomacy with Iran [like UANI] have their way."[30]
Clifton reported that although Kaplan is not mentioned on UANI's website or public disclosures, he has specifically highlighted his connections to the pressure group. During a speech he gave after receiving the French Legion of Honor insignia from French Ambassador Francois Delattre in April 2014, Kaplan said: "A friends' comment that one day our kids might ask what our generation did when we knew what the Iranians' intentions were prompted me to become part of something bigger. Hard to know what the outcome will be but I do know that as much as United Against Nuclear Iran may not have had Tomahawk missiles and aircraft carriers at its disposal, we've done more to bring Iran to heel than any other private sector initiative and most public ones."[31]
According to Clifton: "The published transcript of his remarks contained no mention of UANI or the comparison of the group's work to advanced weaponry, presumably to be directed at Iran's nuclear facilities."[32]
In his July 2015 report for LobeLog Clifton confirmed that Kaplan was a major donor to UANI. Clifton reported that "Kaplan's business interests also present an interesting angle on his funding anti-Iran advocacy like UANI's … one of Kaplan's mining concerns, the now-bankrupt Apex Silver Mines, Ltd., advertised itself in an annual report as a sound investment because of the potential for a 'nuclear confrontation' with Iran. Likewise with another silver venture called Sunshine Silver Mines: a 2011 investment prospectus talked up silver investments in light of 'political unrest in the Middle East.'"[33]

Spotlight: Aly's Honky Tonk Hustle
Aly's Honky Tonk Hustle, 5K Run/Walk, was created by Aly Wolff – cancer fighter and inspiration to thousands through the #BiebsMeetAly campaign. Aly was diagnosed with a neuroendocrine tumor in her liver in May 2012.
Since that day, Aly strived to bring awareness to neuroendocrine tumors and raise money for cancer research so that no one else would have to endure what she did during her fight. Sadly Aly passed away on April 22, 2013 – just four weeks before the first annual Aly's Honky Tonk Hustle, which raised $125,000 for cancer research.
Friends and family are often reminded of Aly saying, "This was put into my life for a reason so now I'm really into doing cancer research/charity work and that's going to be my new focus from now on."
In order to continue her legacy, the second annual Aly's Honky Tonk Hustle will be held on May 17, 2014, in McFarland, Wisconsin. All proceeds from this event will be donated to the UW Carbone Cancer Center in her memory.
Watch this inspirational video to learn more about Aly and the upcoming 5K Run/Walk.

VISIONS FROM PUNKTOWN: A comic book anthology
Yesterday, October 20th, an exciting crowdfunding campaign commenced at Kickstarter (and today, Kickstarter chose it as a Staff Pick in the comics category) — the project VISIONS FROM PUNKTOWN.
Taking its inspiration from my many stories set in the nightmarish far future city called Punktown, VISIONS FROM PUNKTOWN will be an anthology of eight individual short stories, brought to life via the talents of eight brilliant and accomplished artists from around the world. The scripts are adapted from my original stories by Christopher Taylor, who is also overseeing the whole publishing venture and thus the Kickstarter campaign. All of this is a heavy undertaking, but Chris has impressed me thoroughly along the way — not least, with his skillful and respectful adaptation of my stories into the comic book medium. But no surprise, there; Chris has written scripts for EERIE, CREEPY, and HELLRAISER comics.
His amazing crew of artists, and the stories they'll be adapting, are:
THE REFLECTIONS OF GHOSTS: Rafa Garres
THE LIBRARY OF SORROWS: Huseyin Ozkan
WILLOW TREE: Sinclair Klugarsh
FORGE PARK: Eric York
THE PALACE OF NOTHINGNESS: Frank Walls
MONSTERS: Dug Nation
PRECIOUS METAL: Stephane De Caneva
THE UNBEARABLE BEING OF LIGHT: Steven Russell Black
For anyone who loves horror, science fiction, the weird, the bizarre, the fantastical — for anyone who relishes vivid phantasmagorical artwork – I urge you to go check out the Kickstarter between now and Nov. 20th, 2015, and consider pledging. Remember, this is not a charity asking for donations; you'll be pre-ordering a beautiful book, projected to be 130 plus pages, that is guaranteed to whisk you away to a dangerous, frightening, but enthralling alien world.
So please, consider taking a journey to Punktown. You may not come back…but then, you may not want to.

Would you pay $1 a month for weird fiction?
Seeing respected writers like Brian Keene create pages at the crowdfunding site Patreon recently, I've decided to have a go at it, myself.
The rap I posted at my page will best explain how it all works:
Hi. I'm Jeffrey Thomas, an author of…well, you tell me, because I'm not good at classification. I've had stories reprinted in books with titles like THE YEAR'S BEST HORROR STORIES (DAW Books), THE YEAR'S BEST FANTASY AND HORROR (St. Martin's Press), and THE YEAR'S BEST WEIRD FICTION (Undertow Publications). I've been in anthologies with such themes as New Weird, Cyberpunk, and the Cthulhu Mythos. If I'm diverse, it's because I'm restless…I like to explore, and I like to believe I attract the explorative, open-minded reader.
Why am I here on this site, huckstering for your hard-earned money? Well, to date all my books have had a price tag on them, so this concept isn't actually all that different. Making a monthly pledge for regular posts of new fiction here is like paying an author for a book in increments, rather than all at once, like those old serials that used to portion out stories by Charles Dickens in twenty installments. The main difference is that, as in the case of self publication of digital books, a publisher isn't getting most of the proceeds to cover production and distribution expenses. Still, this is a relatively new approach — sort of a cross between crowdfunding and self publication — but as I say, I like to explore new territory.
So what am I specifically proposing, here?
Though I'm offering a couple of additional rewards in return for a slightly greater monthly pledge, mostly I'm just asking if people who might like to support my work would be willing to spend $1 a month in order to view currently exclusive content. (For instance, every month I myself donate $5 to the Lovecraft eZine, plus I've begun supporting some fellow authors at Patreon like Brian Keene and Nikki Guerlain — check them out!) You need only participate for as long as you want, and can increase or decrease the monthly pledge if desired. But yup, minimum pledge is just $1. Hey, if I shambled my pitiful ass up to you in Starbucks, just as you were about 3/4 of the way through your venti Caffe Latte, and asked you if I could finish that dollar's worth of coffee in order to give myself enough energy to complete the story I'm writing, would you say no? WOULD YOU DENY ME YOUR ONE QUARTER OF A VENTI CAFFE LATTE WITH BACKWASH IN IT?
Sorry, got carried away. My mind takes these wild flights…see, that's I mean. But where was I?
What I'm proposing for the minimum $1 monthly pledge is this: every week, and that's 52 weeks in a year, I'll add a brand new piece of fiction directly to my Patreon page (and I'll attach it as a Mobi file, too, should you prefer to read it on an e-reader). It will most likely be a short story, but who knows — at some point maybe I'll serialize something longer, too, like a novella. I'll shoot for a weekly target of around 1,000 words, but muses are notoriously fickle — the word count could go below, could go over. All I know for sure is, whatever I write will be previously unpublished, so you'll be reading stuff that may not see print in a book until quite a ways down the road…if ever. And I promise you another thing: whatever it is I write, it will be weird. It will be fantastical, maybe dreamlike, and very likely horrific. It might be set in my dark future milieu of Punktown. It might take place down the road from you. It could be tragic, or humorous. It could be any number of these things combined.
Whatever it is, you'll get to see it first…if you'll just share that quarter cup of latte with me.
I've added reward for various-sized monthly pledges:
Pledge $1.00 or more per month
For a monthly pledge in this amount, you will have access to fiction written for my Patreon page, one new piece of give-or-take 1,000 words posted every week.
Pledge $10.00 or more per month
For a monthly pledge in this amount, you will have access to fiction written for my Patreon page, one new piece of give-or-take 1,000 words posted every week. Also, I will immediately draw you a WEIRD drawing (I'm also an artist) and mail it to you with a handwritten personal note of thanks.
Pledge $20.00 or more per month
For a monthly pledge in this amount, you will have access to fiction written for my Patreon page, one new piece of give-or-take 1,000 words posted every week. Also, I will immediately draw you a WEIRD drawing (I'm also an artist) and mail it to you with a handwritten personal note of thanks, along with a one-of-a-kind handwritten flash fiction piece that will never appear in print.
Also, I have several milestone goals:
$300 per month — An e-book file of my novel SUBJECT 11 for all supporters.
If my monthly pledges reach the $300 mark, I'll share a file at my Patreon page — for all supporters, no matter the size of the pledge — of my short novel SUBJECT 11. SUBJECT 11 is one of the books of which I'm most proud, telling the story of ten subjects in a mysterious experiment, isolated in an abandoned complex.
$400 per month — An e-book file of my novel BONELAND for all supporters.
If my monthly pledges reach the $400 mark, I'll share a file at my Patreon page — for all supporters, no matter the size of the pledge — of my novel BONELAND. BONELAND is another of the books of which I'm most proud, concerning an alternate history United States influenced by unseen alien entities who feed off human violence.
$500 per month — An e-book file of my novel BEYOND THE DOOR for all supporters.
If my monthly pledges reach the $500 mark, I'll share a file at my Patreon page — for all supporters, no matter the size of the pledge — of my book BEYOND THE DOOR. BEYOND THE DOOR is a series of short stories told within the framework of two men who meet in a train station and exchange weird anecdotes.
As I write this, I have already posted three brand new stories on my page, to be either read at the site or via an attached Mobi file. They are THE PROMOTION AT NEWCASTLE, THE DOOM THAT CAME TO HAMLETVILLE, and SOUTHERN CROSS.
So I hope you'll consider pledging just that $1 a month to receive weekly weird fiction from me. Give it a try! As I say, you can cancel your pledge at any time.
Whatever you do…stay weird.

On April 29th, 2014, my new book GHOSTS OF PUNKTOWN was released. On that day, the site SF SIGNAL ran a guest blog post by me that discussed the background of this short story collection. I'm going to rerun that blog post here, as a way of introducing this book to my own blog readers (such as there might be!). Following that will be ordering information. Thanks, and without further ado, I turn this over to guest blogger — me:
"Since 2000, when Jeff VanderMeer's Ministry of Whimsy Press published my collection Punktown, a string of other books set in my far-future milieu of Punktown have seen print. Until this past March, however, with the release of my novella Red Cells (which features as its protagonist private eye Jeremy Stake, from the novels Deadstock and Blue War), it's been a number of years since a Punktown book has been released. On the heels of Red Cells, though, comes my short story collection Ghosts of Punktown, from Dark Regions Press.
"Ghosts of Punktown has been completed for a few years, actually, but its publication was delayed as Dark Regions Press changed hands. A few of the stories are reprints, but the meatier pieces are original to the book. These newer stories reflect a period of transition in my life. During this period, I lost the ownership of my house. I lived at three different addresses, gained a daughter, lost a marriage, went through various jobs, long stretches of unemployment. It's safe to say that aside from the birth of my daughter, this was the darkest period of my life. The stories I speak of reflect that darkness, and that sense of transition. Always in my Punktown stories have I blurred the lines between science fiction and horror, but perhaps in this collection the horrors are more cruelly edged.
"All is not utter gloom and doom, though. After all, I'm still here, doing better, and some of my characters made it out the other side, too. Maybe scarred, maybe changed, but they did the best they could in a hostile environment…which might be the appeal of Punktown for those who have been there before and dared to go back. It's something we can all relate to: struggling in the shadows to preserve our dignity, our sanity, our individuality…to hold on to something solid in a madly whirling universe. And when we can't, to at least go out fighting, flipping the cosmos the finger, as it were, like the protagonist of my concluding, Sam Peckinpah-on-another-world novella Life Work.
"Why am I even writing science fiction stories that reflect in any way the experiences or emotional states of my own life? Rather than focus on such puny terrestrial matters, why am I not orchestrating another battle between galactic empires, fought by a great fleet of starships led by a larger-than-life messianic hero? What can I say, I guess that's just me. See, if I had to choose a favorite SF novel, it would probably be 1984. And if I had to choose a favorite collection of short SF stories, it would most certainly be The Martian Chronicles. Maybe Punktown lies somewhere between those two books…the nightmarish oppressiveness of the former, and the melancholy poetry of the latter. At the very least, striking such a balance is my aim.
"So don't be afraid to venture into the dark city they call Punktown. Amongst its citizenry of aliens, robots, and mutants, it's not only me you're going to find, but yourself."
Ghosts of Punktown is published by Dark Regions Press, available in limited edition hardcover (300 copies), deluxe lettered edition (26 copies), trade paperback, and ebook editions:
It is also available at Amazon.com in trade paperback and Kindle format:

Far-Future Prison Horror in RED CELLS
You can't keep a good mutant shape-shifter down.
In 2007, Solaris Books released my novel DEADSTOCK, set in the far-future, crime-ridden, alien-infested city of Punktown. Its protagonist is Jeremy Stake, a former soldier in the Blue War, now a private detective with the ability to physically imitate any human (or humanoid) he's looked at for long enough. In DEADSTOCK, Stake goes up against a Lovecraftian entity that starts out as a seemingly innocent bioengineered child's toy.
Stake returned in 2008 in BLUE WAR, also from Solaris Books, this time caught up in a situation that might escalate into war on a blue-forested world in another dimension, where he is reunited with a blue-skinned female soldier who was once his lover.
I've written about Stake in several short stories, as well, but now he's back in his meatiest adventure since BLUE WAR…my novella RED CELLS, released today from DarkFuse.
RED CELLS finds Stake fallen on hard times, so desperate that for a fee he agrees to imitate another man and serve his six-month prison sentence for him. But this is no ordinary prison. The prison in question exists in a man-made pocket universe, insuring that the inmates can't escape. But once in the prison, Stake discovers that a series of violent deaths have occurred: a number of inmates have practically exploded inside their locked cells. When the inmates discover Stake's identity, they prompt him to investigate these bloody deaths…and the unearthly answer to the mystery is far beyond anything Stake expected.
I started writing down ideas for RED CELLS while vacationing in Vietnam in the winter of 2009, in the home of my former in-laws, usually while I was watching over my then-infant daughter. I ended up filling many pages of my notepad. But due to other projects, it wasn't until the winter of 2012 that I finally got around to writing the story. I chose the novella form, this time around, to keep the story tight and rapid-fire in delivery.
I'm very proud of RED CELLS. Shining reviews have been pouring in, making me all the prouder. Here's a sample review:
(Click to see a review of RED CELLS in the Examiner)
I predict this won't be the last time you'll be hearing from Jeremy Stake. Why, he might be lurking right beside you at this very moment, wearing the face of your loved one. Or your own.

ELDRITCH CHROME: the future is now.
Today I received my contributor's copies of the new anthology ELDRITCH CHROME, edited by Brian M. Sammons and Glynn Owen Barrass. This book is especially important to me because it marks my first appearance in a title published by Chaosium, representing a real dream come true. Oh, how I envied those who appeared in the Chaosium books I encountered over the years…envied and despised them! Now others can despise me…HA! Happy to report, I'll appear in several more Chaosium anthologies, forthcoming. (HA, I say!) This one, of course, has a theme of Lovecraftian cyberpunk, and appropriately enough my story herein — "Open Minded" — is set in my notorious far-future world of Punktown.
The book can be ordered directly from Chaosium, and from Amazon.com.

In which eminent Lovecraftian scholar S.T. Joshi sums up perfectly Pugmire's literary gift.
A comic strip by Ronnie Tucker & Maxwell Patterson, that features a fun rendition of Pugmire.
The monthly column by Robert M. Price, in which he delivers a fascinating essay on "liminality."
By dark maestro Richard Gavin, in which he audaciously reinterprets the origin of Sesqua Valley's "Firstborn," Simon Gregory Williams.
By my brother Scott Thomas; a dream-like, poetic, and lovely piece — as one would expect from him. (As in Richard's and Jayaprakash's stories, Scott is in tune with the yearning for transformation so prevalent in Pugmire's fiction.)
By Jayaprakash Sathyamurthy, a thought-provoking look at the atrophy and rebirth of the vital human spark, and how our personal heritage can sometimes deliver us from life's closing walls.
A gorgeous poem by the always fantastic Ann K. Schwader
By your own Jeffrey Thomas, featuring an absolutely perfect illustration (of the story's weird "In-Betweener") by Steve Santiago. (The art throughout the entire issue is superb.)

Support the anthology "Winter in the City"
I find cities endlessly fascinating. And who doesn't, really ? Whether you choose to live in the city for its vibrant energy, or shun cities as being chaotic, congested, and even dangerous, there's no denying that when you concentrate a whole lot of people into one location, there's bound to be a whole lot of fascinating stuff going on.
I'll never forget my first time visiting Boston (I rode in on the train with my Dad and brother Scott, on the day Robert Kennedy was assassinated), Washington, D.C. (with my Uncle Wally), Los Angeles (with my Aunt Barbara). And then when I started to travel abroad, there were Seoul, South Korea, and Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Each city with its own character, its own allure.
And these are the qualities I've sought to bring to the fictitious cities in which I've set much of my writing. The infernal metropolis Oblivion, in LETTERS FROM HADES, and of course my far-future milieu of PUNKTOWN.
A Kickstarter is underway for a very intriguing project; an anthology called WINTER IN THE CITY. It's the brainchild of R. B. Wood, with Marty Halpern set to edit the anthology, and a bunch of very impressive names have expressed interest in contributing short stories – including Pat Cadigan, Harry Turtledove, Kevin J. Anderson, Tim Pratt, Mike Resnick, Paul Di Filippo…the list goes on like that.
Here's how the book is described:
"Noisy, crowded, ever in motion, the City is an unrecognized character in Urban Fantasy. Much more than just a setting, the City is the ever-present constant companion to the characters in the genre. Sometimes antagonist, sometime protagonist, the city surrounds and engulfs a good Urban Fantasy yarn.
Winter in the City: A Collection of Urban Fantasy Tales will be a celebration of stories that take place in different cities around the world during the bleak—sometimes harsh—season of winter."
Sounds like something you'd want to read? I know it's right up my city alley.
So check out the Kickstarter page for this worthy project, won't you?

WORSHIP THE NIGHT available for preorder
My new short story collection WORSHIP THE NIGHT is just around the corner (that is to say, at the printers) and up for preorder at the web site of publisher Dark Renaissance. Dark Renaissance is a new publishing house, but at its helm is Joe Morey, a man with many years of experience in producing beautiful books; a man with an inexhaustible passion for horror literature. The preorder page for WORSHIP THE NIGHT is here:
There is already a fine review of the book at the review site of author Don D'Ammassa, Critical Mass:
Mr. D'Ammassa says: "Jeffrey Thomas has been turning out excellent short stories for several years now, almost all in unusual venues where most readers are unlikely to discover them. There are eight of his better stories in this new collection…there are moments of humor as well as suspense, horror, and outright strangeness. The novella 'Sea of Flesh' is my favorite in a very fine selection."
And I have made a little trailer to promote the book at YouTube:
But to best describe what this book is about, I've decided to share my introduction from the book, below.
Before I do that, however, I just want to stress that the book's lovely cover art and the brilliant illustrations that grace every one of the stories therein are by the amazing Erin Wells. I had specifically requested that Joe Morey hire her for this job, as I have long admired the work she has done for several of my brother Scott Thomas's collections. The funny thing is, I had requested that Erin render an Asian dragon for the book's cover, because dragons feature in several of the stories. She didn't receive this request, but Erin's instincts were dead on and she created a dragon image on her own. Like her illustrations, her cover evokes the sense of dark poetry I wanted these stories to convey.
So without any further ado, here is my introduction to WORSHIP THE NIGHT, from Dark Renaissance Books:
When I see short story collections
from writer friends of mine that feature incisive introductions by scholarly
folk like Matt Cardin or John Langan, I sometimes feel jealous. But then, who
better to introduce my work than me? Especially since I'd like to say a few
words about each of the stories in this collection — giving each its own sub-introduction,
as it were.
So let's begin with…
The Lost Family focuses on the
protagonist of my novel The Fall of Hades,
which is set in Hell two thousand years after an apocalyptic war between
Angels, Demons and the Damned. The events of The Lost Family don't take place prior to, or after, the events of The Fall
of Hades, but somewhere in the middle of the protagonist's travels in the
novel. For that reason, I might just as well have titled this story The Lost
Chapter. But it is also meant to work as a stand-alone story, if you haven't
read that novel.
Counterclockwise is set in my
futuristic milieu of Punktown. I thought it best to allow my favorite stamping
ground at least one manifestation here…lest it grow vengeful. The setting has
been good to me and I don't take that lightly, since Punktown is not often
The Holy Bowl was written for
an anthology about that mightiest of deities, the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Since I suspected most of my fellow contributors to that book would go for
broad humor and the extreme bizarre, I decided to play my story a bit more
In Limbo was written
especially for this collection. The premise for it came to me one late October
night in 2012 as Hurricane Sandy, Halloween, and Life itself bore down upon me.
About the Author makes the
observation that sometimes a writer is more fascinating, and stranger, than
anything they may have written. It's also about my general preference for innovative
horror as opposed to tropes that have been done to death…or undeath.
The Strange Case of Crazy Joe
Gallo is a Lovecraftian piece that features actual alleged gangland
personalities and events. (Notice I said "alleged," so no one need track me
down and whack me.) My brother Scott and I have long been intrigued with the
fascinating and charismatic Joe Gallo.
Children of the Dragon is
another Lovecraftian piece, this one set in modern day Viet Nam. I have quite a
love affair with Viet Nam…largely because I have had a number of love affairs
with Vietnamese women. Subsequently, my beautiful daughter Jade is half
Vietnamese. Since my first trip in October of 2004, and to the time of this
writing, I have traveled to Viet Nam eight times. Children of the Dragon incorporates actual places I have visited in
that country, which is not nearly as ominous (these days, at least) as I
portray it here — but it often serves a dramatic purpose to set a character
down in an unfamiliar environment in which, a fish out of water, he can become
thoroughly disoriented. Ah, the deliciously disorienting Orient!
Viet Nam also has its influence in The
Sea of Flesh, in that a number of its characters are Vietnamese, but this story
takes place in another of my favorite locales: Salem, Massachusetts. This long
novella (or short novel?) was written for a book called The Sea of Flesh and Ash, which was long delayed with its original
publisher and therefore withdrawn from them, finally released by another publisher
to a very limited readership. The premise of The Sea of Flesh and Ash was that my brother Scott Thomas and I
would both write a novella based on the same beautiful piece of artwork by
Travis Anthony Soumis, which would serve as our cover. Thus, I wrote my dark
fantasy The Sea of Flesh, and Scott
wrote The Sea of Ash…a brilliant
work that I hope he will feature in some future collection of his own. It
deserves much greater exposure.
The title of this book, Worship
the Night, was inspired by a kind of loose theme at work in these stories:
the notion of deities, hereafters, or otherwheres beyond the mortal plane. As I
say, The Lost Family involves angels
and demons, if not quite in the traditional sense, while Counterclockwise offers a glimpse into an alien belief system. The Holy Bowl invokes the aforementioned
Flying Spaghetti Monster — as convincing a deity as this world has to offer, and
much tastier than most. The title of In
Limbo evokes the dismal way station said to lie between the two more definitive
afterlives, and hence — literally or metaphorically — between damnation and salvation.
Similarly, the protagonist of About the Author believes she has torn
through a barrier between this world and the netherworld. If your spiritual
calling leans less toward Judeo-Christian conceptions and more toward the eldritch,
you might want to become an acolyte of the Cthulhu Mythos, as addressed in The Strange Case of Crazy Joe Gallo and Children of the Dragon. Finally, the
main characters of The Sea of Flesh interact
with a mystical alternate realm.
With a theme of this nature, one might well wonder what the author's
position on religion could be.
Don't ask.
Okay, that probably isn't fair. Better to say, then, that I despise
religion. That is, religion as practiced by those who wish for eternal torture to
be inflicted on others for not sharing their particular brand of superstition.
Which isn't to say that I don't necessarily believe in mysterious forces at
work in the universe. My personal jury is still out on that one. I am in awe of
the unknown, with a capital "Un," and I hope that sense of wonder translates
into some of these tales. But in regard to my disgust, I'm not talking about spiritual
matters…I'm talking about physical matter, matter shaped into the things we
call people, human effing beings, who can be credited with other such hateful inventions
as guns and money. Perhaps money will be the theme of my next collection. God
– such as He, She or It might be — forbid.
With our introduction and sub-introductions behind us, let us now allow these
stories to speak for themselves…
– Jeffrey Thomas

GoPro debuts as the title sponsor of Vail's pioneering Mountain Games next weekend, taking the reins from event founder Teva.
The juggernaut California company that has enabled an army of camera-strapped athletes to share point-of-view perspectives is staking a claim in Colorado's high country, with a multiyear deal to host the state's most vibrant mountain festival.
"We think the Mountain Games hits all facets of the GoPro mission, with active outdoors communities and the variety of activities. The fact there are pros competing alongside amateurs and families having fun, that's what we are all about: giving people our camera to document their fun," said GoPro communications director Rick Loughery. "It matches so perfectly with what we are all about."
GoPro sponsored the Teva Mountain Games for the past two years, but next weekend it arrives as the bigwig of the freshly rebranded GoPro Mountain Games. Everyone still calls the multievent circus Teva — it has, after all, been the Teva Mountain Games for 11 years — but "that will end after this weekend," Loughery said.
GoPro is hardly a startup scrambling for exposure. The nine-year-old company has grown explosively in the past half decade, dominating the wearable-camera market and forging a niche of videos clogging the Internet. The $200-to-$400 helmet-mounted cameras are ubiquitous on ski slopes, in rivers and just about everywhere, with top-tier athletes garnering millions of views for videos that offer formerly exclusive firsthand views of the most audacious athleticism and adventures.
Company founder Nick Woodman sold his first GoPro in 2004 as he labored toward a dream of sharing his surf adventures via a wrist-mounted film camera. Sales have doubled every year since, with the company going digital and forging an assortment of attachments for the cameras. According to a recent Forbes profile of the company, GoPro sold 2.3 million cameras in 2012, grossing $521 million, making it the fastest-growing camera company in the world. This year's sales should double that, according to Forbes.
In December, Chinese camera-parts maker Hon Hai Precision Co. — more commonly known as Foxconn — acquired a $200 million stake in GoPro. That deal for 8.88 percent of GoPro parent Woodman Labs valued GoPro at $2.25 billion and made Woodman, 37, a billionaire.
"GoPro is the leader in the wearable-camera category, largely due to the nurturing of the business via sponsorships like (the GoPro Mountain Games)," said Chris Chute, an analyst with International Data Corp. "Currently, more average users are purchasing these cameras."
Even with the influx of riches, the company remains dedicated to Woodman's singular mission to share individual viewpoints, Loughery said. Athletes and first-on-board employees remain in management positions, protecting the goal that first spawned the wearable-camera revolution.
"It was driven by us doing these different activities and wanting to create a camera that allowed us to share our experiences. That remains key to the growth of the company. We weren't creating a product based on focus groups or what we thought customers would want. It was more driven by starting off with a product we wanted to use and we wanted to have," Loughery said.
The company isn't planning sweeping changes — especially this year, since it was named as the title sponsor barely four months ago. But there will be exposure that comes with having a billion-dollar company at the helm. NBC Sports is planning a 100 percent GoPro-filmed segment of the games. Also, the festival has three nights of free music in Vail Village.
Next weekend, the company will unveil new apps and video-management software that will enable users to pull photos off their GoPro directly to their phone and quickly sculpt new videos. The company's heralded third edition, the GoPro Hero3, has harvested widespread acclaim, and the new tools for sharing videos will be on display at the GoPro Mountain Games.
With more than 3,000 professional and amateur competitors participating in 25 disciplines in the GoPro Mountain Games, the company is hoping the event raises GoPro's exposure even higher. Watch for cameras on dogs in the dog-trail run, on helmets in the steep creek and 8-ball kayak contest, maybe on some body parts for the slackline world championships and on bike frames for the dizzying slopestyle displays. Creative filming is blossoming as millions of GoPro wearers vie to elevate the videos documenting their lives. GoPro hopes to inspire that creativity next weekend in Vail.
"The goal is obviously to sell more product, but it's also to continue to leverage such a longstanding event to connect with our customers and our people and just continue to stay in touch and also have fun," Loughery said.
Mountain Games owner Vail Valley Foundation landed GoPro in February after months of negotiations. The fact that GoPro has sponsored the event for the past two years kept the learning curve "pretty minimal," said foundation spokesman John Dakin.
The benefit of GoPro is enormous, Dakin said. The company's reach is vast, with a YouTube channel boasting almost 250 million views, athlete support from heavy hitters such as Shaun White and an army of GoPro users whose videos can go instantly viral, such as the recent one of a grizzly gnawing the camera.
"What they truly do bring is literally and figuratively the athlete's perspective of the Games," Dakin said. "Pretty much everyone is running around documenting his or her experiences, and that sets the tone for some very dynamic coverage of the event. They are able to pump that out to the world, and we get to use that from a marketing standpoint, too. It's win-win."

About the games
The GoPro Mountain Games run June 6 through June 9 in Vail with a mixture of professional and amateur contests in 25 disciplines, including whitewater kayaking, stand-up paddling, rock climbing, trail running and mountain biking. Learn more at mountaingames.com.

I have two female lab mixes. Both were strays I took in, one in 04 who is estimated to be about ten years old and the other in 07 who is estimated to be about eight. They have gotten along f ine until the last few weeks, the younger one is kind of stalking the older one around the house, growling when the older one comes in from outside, and trying to fight her. Today she did jump her without warning and hurt her and it was horrible getting her off. Then the whole rest of the day whenever she heard the older dog she scrambled towards her, growling. I had to keep them separated and keep switching them outside every hour or so. I don't know what to do...I can not live in fear she will jump my old dog, or one of the kids. She has gotten weird, too, when the kids come downstairs she stands stiff and stares at them, when she used to wag her tail and be happy. The fight today happened right where my baby's play area is! I keep thinking, what if my daughter had been playing instead of me holding her? This is making me sick. Why after almost six years is my dog doing this?

Sorry, my phone messed me up....nothing has changed recently, the baby is 16 months old so not new enough to stress out the dog, right? I don't let her jump on the dog or pull tails or anything. We also have another dog but they ignore him, and my younger female doesn't fight or growl at him. And I don't breed my dogs.

Have you tried taking her to the vet for an examination? An illness or injury that you aren't aware off may be causing her to act defensively. Just something you may won't to rule out. The freezing and hard stares around your children is really concerning.
Posted 02/07/2013
That is concerning. My first stop would be at the vet. Next would be calling a behaviorist. Definitely keep her separated from your kids!

Take her to the vet. If nothing changed my best guess is that she's sick.

In highly integrated processors, a concurrent fault tolerance capability is particularly important, especially for real-time applications. In fact, in these systems, transient errors are often present, but are difficult to correct online. Error recovery procedures applied for each processing or memory element require large amount of hardware and can reduce throughput. Residue arithmetic has intrinsic fault tolerance capability and requires less complex hardware. A single error correction procedure based on the use of a redundant residue number system (RRNS) and the base extension operation is proposed. The method uses a very small decision table and works in parallel mode; therefore it is suitable for high speed VLSI circuit realization. A parallel systolic architecture which realizes the algorithm is introduced

GOE Energy Conference 2016 Venue - The View Hotel
Situated at the heart of Eastbourne's historic seafront is The View, a hotel rated by Trip Advisor visitors as scoring 90% and being awarded the "Certificate of Excellence" in 2013. Once you step out of any of the hotels many sea-facing balconies it is easy to understand why they are considering changing their name to reflect the gorgeous and unrestricted vistas across the English Channel.
Eastbourne is a beautiful seaside town on the southern coast of the UK and is situated approx 17 miles East of Brighton & Hove and approx 65 miles South of London. Eastbourne has good road links to the M25 and by direct train is about 55 minutes away from London Gatwick International Airport and about 85 minutes away from London Victoria.
Within walking distance of the venue is the South-Downs National Park and also Beachy Head which is the highest chalk sea cliff in Great Britain and a designated area of outstanding natural beauty. This sheltered position contributes to Eastbourne's title of sunniest place in Great Britain – perfect for the GOE's annual energy gathering.
Also within a few hundred yards is Eastbourne's famous pier and town centre with its wide selection of restaurants, bars, cafés and shops.
Along with its name change from "The Eastbourne Centre", The View has gone through a complete transformation in the past few years and has been recently refurbished to a high standard. The building is owned by the Unite Union, which is why they offer first-class conference facilities, but the management have begun seeking a name for themselves as a destination hotel on the south coast of England.

Energy transfer between Cr3+ and Nd3+ ions has been investigated in the 4.2-300-K temperature range by using steady-state and site-selective time-resolved laser spectroscopy. Radiative and nonradiative energy transfer has been studied from the time-resolved emission spectra and the donor fluorescence decays. The transfer efficiency was calculated as a function of temperature by using the Cr3+ lifetimes of the single doped and co-doped samples. Laser experiments were carried out in a diffusive cavity by pumping a co-doped rod 54 mm long and 5 mm in diameter with xenon flashlamps. The laser spectral emission shows a complex structure which varies as a function of pump energy. The temporal evolution of the laser spectrum is discussed in terms of a simple four-level spectral rate-equation laser model which takes into account the existence of two main broad Nd3+ site distributions with a large spectral overlap

I was due on Tuesday and things have been fine this pregnancy, except apparently baby doesn't want to come out. But last night before bed my hands and feet started itching soooo bad. I got up and put lotion on them but they itched all night long. This morning I googled and the first thing that came up was cholestasis of pregnancy. I noticed I had some of the other symptoms listed, like extreme fatigue, dark color urine, and loss of appetite. Lately I haven't been able to barely eat anything and I've been nauseous off and on.
Anyway I called and talked to my doctor's nurse and she wasn't concerned. I thought maybe I needed to schedule an appointment but she didn't seem to think it was a big deal. I mentioned cholestasis and she had never heard of it. Does it seem like I should push harder for an appointment?? I don't know what to do. The nurse made it seem like I was maybe over reacting and just told me to use benadryl or hydrocortisone.

All-State receiver's transfer request runs into snag
WATERBURY — As Sacred Heart High welcomes its new head football coach, Cortez Johnson, today for the opening day of conditioning practice, three would-be senior starters — All-State wide receiver David Coggins, quarterback Javon Martin and fullback Xavier Woods — won't be in attendance at Municipal Stadium.
Woods' transfer to Naugatuck High is set, and he will be able to practice Monday with the Greyhounds. But that's not the case with Coggins and Martin, whose transfer process hasn't been completed, according to Sacred Heart athletic director Jon Carroll.
"They did request transcripts yesterday (Monday)," said Carroll on Tuesday. "They initiated a request to transfer ... (but) there are some hurdles there."
The major hurdle is about money, according to Meme Martin, the mother of Javon Martin and legal guardian of Coggins for the past five years. She said she still owes Sacred Heart partial tuition for the 2011-12 academic year.
The students' transcripts weren't released by Sacred Heart's guidance office, according to Carroll, who said the final decision would be up to Sacred Heart Principal Anthony R. Azzara and school President Eileen Regan.
Neither Azzara nor Regan returned phone messages from the Republican-American on Tuesday. If the transfer doesn't go through this week, Martin and Coggins would be unable to practice with the Greyhounds.
Coggins and Javon Martin told the Republican-American repeatedly in recent months that they would remain at Sacred Heart. In an interview Tuesday, Meme Martin said they did so on her advice.
"We made a family decision," she said. "I sat the boys down and told them if they were asked about transferring, to say that they weren't going anywhere. There was too much pressure on them."
Meme Martin said she is unable to pay the balance of last year's tuition after losing her job. She is looking for a residence in Naugatuck.
"As soon as I find a place, I am over there ASAP," she said.
Carroll said if there is a legal change of residence, the players would be able to transfer and be eligible to play this season under CIAC regulations.
"They (Sacred Heart) are holding back test scores and won't give a release," said Meme Martin. "I asked if I can work out a payment plan so we can go about our business, but they said that it couldn't (start) no later than the middle of September. There's no way I could pay that (full) amount. I have called people to try to get a loan, but I am having no luck. They are not making it easy."
Coggins has already made a verbal commitment to attend Boston College next season, even though he didn't play as a junior. He has fully recovered from a right ankle injury suffered in a preseason scrimmage last year. As a sophomore, Coggins recorded 78 receptions for 1,417 yards and 13 touchdowns. In his freshman year, he had 16 catches for 333 yards in a single game.
Javon Martin and Woods haven't been actively recruited by colleges.
Naugatuck football coach Rob Plasky said Tuesday that Greyhounds athletic director Tom Pompei had talked with Meme Martin about the possibility of a transfer, but Plasky said he hasn't spoken with her directly.
"I enjoyed playing at Sacred Heart and for my uncle Chris (Ortiz), but now I want to move on," Coggins said. "I want to be able to practice with Naugatuck Monday (when practice starts there)."
Meme Martin's brother is Ortiz, the former head coach of the Hearts who resigned May 8. Rumors began circulating after he quit that Sacred Heart players would leave.
One player, 15-year-old sophomore Sharrieff Grice, a resident of Naugatuck, did transfer to Kingswood-Oxford, a prep school in West Hartford, but according to his father, the transfer process began well before Ortiz's resignation.

The 2011 Pinot Noir Alberigi is one of the least expressive of these 2011s. The stems are a bit prominent today, so further cellaring is a must. Still, there is a primal energy in the fruit that is unbelievably attractive. The 2011 should be a jewel once it opens up a bit in bottle. It is quite promising, even today, finishing with great persistence. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2021.Drink Dates: 2014-2021

Artist Diana Trevino-Wilson uses her creativity to create a special character named Fabil that reaches through the wall of autism to teach basic skills.
LatinaLista — "If Walt Disney could start his empire with a cartoon mouse, anything is possible," says Diana Trevino-Wilson, artist and entrepreneur.
Artistic since the age of five, Diana has always had the gift of creating one-of-a-kind designs. Originally using her creativity to create items like beaded cloth headbands, decorative décor objects, paintings and even writing poetry, Diana found a greater calling for her artistic talent when her daughter was diagnosed with autism.
"My daughter "cooed" and looked me straight in the eyes when she was just months old," Diana remembered. "She was very normal until around the age of 2, then it seemed she could not hear, because she would not respond to my voice, her name, or situations going on around her. She was tested and followed by her doctor, and finally diagnosed around the age of 5."
In 2005, Diana began home schooling her daughter because the local elementary school didn't have an adequate classroom to meet her daughter's specific needs.
Equipped only with a GED, Diana read as much as possible about the affliction and connected with other parents of children with autism. She started gathering material and curriculum with which to teach her daughter.
"I could not find many of the items that I needed to help her learn, starting with the most basic of information. I remembered a cartoon character that I had created in 1991," Diana said. "I began to draw posters for her room, using this cartoon character, to teach her: "today, tomorrow and yesterday" as well as "morning, noon and night" concepts. I started making coloring pages and flash cards to use as well. Now I design part of her curriculum. Drawing is a part of me, but now I do it for a different reason."
The cartoon character that Diana resurrected from her art pile that she thought could reach through to her daughter was a bird, but not just any bird. It was a bird with definite attitude and a very human personality. Such a unique bird needed a unique name.
"I drew this character according to what I saw in my mind, and the word "fable" came with it," Diana recounted. "I knew that I didn't want to name him Fable, because he wasn't a story, but he did appear to have a distinct look. So I changed the letters around and came up with Fabil."
Diana had never heard of the name Fabil and it wasn't until she noticed that people from the Mideast were becoming fans of her Facebook page did she learn it was a Middle Eastern name.
Ever since resurrecting Fabil and putting him to work to help teach her daughter, Diana made it her mission to help other families and professionals who also work with autistic children. She gives away flash card sets to families, provides sample cards to special education teachers and makes available on her website free Fabil coloring pages. Diana says the response so far from other parents has been both appreciative and supportive.
Now, that Fabil is established, Diana is also getting back to her childhood love of creating original artwork. Yet, tempering her artistic streak with creating curriculum is a daily juggling act for Diana.
"I try and balance the two by staying faithful to the immediate need within my family and other families out there living with learning disabilities. For people like my daughter and I who learn visually, I want to offer items to help them," Diana said.
"I can get very carried away when working, so I have to stay aware of my daily responsibilities. I try to give some time to those passions within me that have nothing to do with academics, which would be those designs and ideas popping up and down within me like popcorn, just waiting to be brought to life."
To give each side of her creativity their due justice, Diana created a web site, Diana Originals, featuring items she's made, along with, Fabil learning materials. It's a business that she knows she will never give up.
"I always knew that the work that brought me joy was creating. Now, years since the age of 5, here I am still doing what naturally flows out of me."

Walking with Death by humonWatch
My site humoncomics.com/
Somewhat surprisingly, in old Danish stories Death is actually pretty nice (when it's not a headless horse). The stories tend to be about a man or woman walking to somewhere when suddenly a stranger shows up. They're friendly and chatty and keep the person company until they encounter something or get to the destination and suddenly the stranger looks like a corpse and the person realize it was Death all along.
One such story is about a man who meets another man and they walk together. They see a group of men on the road so the man turns to the stranger because he's worried and the stranger looks at him with "a death face" and disappears. The group of men turns out to be a gang of robbers and kills the man.
In this case I like to think it's a sad/cute story about the man Tage who has an illness and is kept company by a friendly Death trying to make him less afraid.
having some sort of company before dying
cause usually many are afraid to die alone
but still i thought the second story was kind of sad since death and that man were walking and death just left him with a sign that this is where and how his life would end <:/
And I love the illustration you've done. Looks like something straight out of a children's book.
I could have made like the best stories ever, omgimsototallygoingtousethis)
I remember a story by H. C. Andersen, I think it's called "A story of a Mother". It's about a mother (of course) that has a child, but the child is very weak, and it seems like it grows weaker every day. One winter night, a stranger in black asks if he can stay for a little at her house, which she allows him to. When he then leaves, she realizes that the child has stopped breathing and that the stranger was Death.
The story doesn't end there, it's pretty long, actually. And very sad. And a reminder why H. C. Andersen is one of the greatest authors Denmark ever had. TT7TT

Rated 4.2 out of 5 by 81 reviewers.
Rated 5 out of 5 by JKOS Great Purchase! I can't believe I have lived without these for so long...I bought two, one for a queen and one for a king box spring. I washed them both in hot water and dried in high heat and they fit the box springs perfectly! December 4, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by LolaChristine A little big love the box spring cover. Guess my box spring for full guest bed not as big as 12" deep, so its a baggy fit. Doesnt matter as quilt hangs over the box spring. Just trying to make it look nicer. Dont know if will shrink when washed but I doubt it. November 12, 2015
Rated 1 out of 5 by onlyI terrible product did not fit, poorly made, threw away the return slip so could not return November 3, 2015
Rated 3 out of 5 by velodiva not for narrow box springs I was so excited to get this, but now that it's on my bed I can't say that it looks very good. The description should have specified that this product is best on an 11 inch box spring (mine is 7 1/2 inches tall). A narrow box spring leaves it looking rumply and saggy and you have to keep pulling the white top back under the mattress to keep it out of sight. October 23, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by FYILady Worked Well Fitted nicely over a Saatva split 8.75" Queen boxspring. I like the look of the white matelassé. October 16, 2015
Rated 5 out of 5 by Twokidsandadog Transformed my guest bed! Don't know why I didn't buy this sooner! High quality and very generously sized! October 8, 2015

A couple of the reviewers said after washing, it fit their box spring perfectly. My question is, if it still doesn't fit after washing, will I be able to return it? I am trying to eliminate the need for a bed skirt and I think this would be perfect but do not want to buy something I will not be able to use. Why don't they offer more than one size for box spring covers?

Ladders damage cars on Interstate 89April 28,2013Vehicles damaged
by ladders on I-89
SHARON — Extension ladders that somehow ended up in the middle of the Interstate 89 northbound lane Friday afternoon damaged two vehicles but caused no injuries, according to Vermont State Police.
Police were called to a section of the divided highway near mile marker 15 just before 5:30 p.m. after two vehicles struck the ladders.
Police didn't say how the items came to be in the roadway, but indicated it may have been unintentional.
While the damage to the two cars was minimal, police said reminded motorists that failing to properly secure items while driving on public highways could result in a ticket and fine of up to $1,191.MORE IN This Just InPROCTOR A citizen committee has finalized a survey to poll residents on a new town office...

Russian scientists and engineers invented a bunch of genius things but were unable to patent or sell them in time that is why it were inventors from other countries who reaped laurels.
L. Shamshurenkov was a self-taught Russian inventor of peasant origin, who constructed in 1752 the first self-propelling or self-running carriage (may be regarded as precursor to both quadrocycle and automobile) and was awarded with $2 for that. Only in 1769, Nicolas-Joseph Cugnot from France presented a similar invention to the world.

When humans walk through them, intimate body parts (even piercings) are visible to TSA monitors. People got riled over this revealing scanning technology, even claiming they represented an unconstitutional invasion of privacy. In the end, getting upset was all opponents could do, as homeland security trumps everything in this post-9/11 world.
