'When was it that you stopped using the word 'home'?' Yang Lian in Auckland
At the recent Short Takes on Long Poems symposium in Auckland (see Jack Ross's take here), Jacob Edmond, whose comic-serious talk concerned the literal weights and volumes of long poems, kept asking a single question of other speakers. "In what way is the work you're talking about local?" Or, in the case of my presentation, "Do you think your videos [of people in Hawai`i saying back lines of George Oppen's 'Of Being Numerous' as best they could] localize the poem in some way?" Jack Ross argues that the symposium would have been too international had it not included the work of Robert Sullivan and John Adams, writing the interstices between Maori and Pakeha in Aotearoa / New Zealand. This discussion felt like home to me, albeit set on a different stage and peopled by very different writers and critics than is the case in Hawai`i. But of course these distinctions are hard to keep or enforce when (like me) you can leave Auckland at 7 a.m. of a Monday morning and arrive in Honolulu at 7 a.m. the same morning. Yet Lucas Klein, a scholar and translator of Chinese poetry, quoted the Chinese poet, citizen of New Zealand, and resident of London, Yang Lian, as saying: "There is no international, only different locals."
Jacob Edmond is one of Yang Lian's translators; he and Hilary Chung published a book of Yang Lian's Auckland poems and essays in Unreal City: A Chinese Poet in Auckland (Auckland University Press, 2006). Auckland is, of course, a real city. But to find one's accidental exile there, as Yang Lian did for several years after Tiananmen Square in June 1989, is to enter a place profoundly unlocal in its language, its climate, its watery surround. The man forced to dig graves during the Cultural Revolution came to live near Grafton Bridge, which goes over a cemetery in Auckland. As the editors tell us in their introduction, "Grafton Bridge is described with realist accuracy . . . but the bridge and the view also provide the starting point for a hallucination . . . or mirage . . . that transforms the real Auckland landscape and the surreal space of the poem, with its threatening 'iron' and 'stone masters' that seem to force the final cry 'for the pain unexpectedly prolonged in the night.'" (8-9). Later, they add, "Thus 'City in a Mirage' [one section of their anthology of his Auckland poems] develops a poetics of exile in which the strange world of exile—the 'city'—in a sense compensates for the displaced subject's loss of reality—the 'mirage'." (17). So, while Yang Lian writes in "Grafton Bridge," of "a sky shrivelled by extinct volcanoes," a fact of the city's geography, where volcanoes form "power points" that overlook city and ocean, he maintains in "The Garden This Afternoon," that "what is not illusory cannot be born" (41). These are not real gardens with imaginary toads in them, because both garden and toad are real. But they are gardens in which exilic sight refracts the world where death (loss, exile, silence) meets the imagination (poetry, the freedom that comes of not-freedom). This is where "the living gather round death's window and cry," as he writes in "The Book of Crying and Forgetting," dedicated to Milan Kundera.
It's also a place where "when you talk about your childhood it's as if you're not actually talking about yourself but about somebody else hiding inside your body" (76). Early in the book we see a pencilled sketch of the house at 137 Grafton Road where Yang Lian lived (the drawing is by his wife, Yo Yo). But in the essay "Ghost Talk," late in the book, Yang separates those English words, "house" from "home," to note that, "Whenever you mention this dilapidated old house, you always say 'there'." (75). His exile rendered insubstantial the very structure of the house in which he lived, as it did the language in which he writes. The result, to cite the title of the book's last essay, is to live in the "City of One Person," a city he can't believe exists, even as he climbs the extinct volcano near his house and looks out over its buildings to the sea. From this house, which exists as structure but not as idea, he looks back at his life, the life that seems more imaginary than real, "blurring your address so it appears to be a place you have never been before" (91). The poet may be dead, but the dead might never leave:
who says the dead are dead and gone the dead
wandering locked in doomsday are the masters of eternity
on the four walls hang four of their own faces
massacre once again blood
is still the only famous view
to sleep into a tomb is fortunate but to reawaken in
a tomorrow the birds fear even more
this is just a very ordinary year (59)
This is the last stanza of his two stanza poem, "1989." That year was hardly ordinary for Yang Lian, other Chinese poets exiled by the government, or anyone "at either end of the refugee horizon" (48), but his "ordinary" is at once deeply ironic and honest. Auckland is ordinary, as is any city. But Yang Lian's exile makes of loneliness the unreal city of Edmond and Chung's title.
"When you are alone," Yang writes, "nothing exists except your illusions" (90). Rather than losing himself alone, he also loses the city he walks in. "The city of extinct volcanoes, sea and stone is really there. Feeling for them is like feeling your own face. But as you feel for them, they are lost" (90). Yang can see his dream self, his mirage, but is otherwise blind to the locality he lives in. Perhaps for that reason, among others, he writes a poem to Michele Leggott, who has been losing her sight for many years, and is now nearly completely blind. In "Sense of Sight, or, Island No. 5," which he dedicates to her, he writes (in the mid-2000s), to himself as much as to her:
it is never the eye that the view awaits
an island always mirrors an inverted image of an island inside the heart
lights are recorded on a poem's silver printing plate
night pursues a predestined logic like a dog pursues an eccentricity
barks wildly one side of darkness is that point where it begins
what sunlight once buried accepts you back first of all
eyes beautifully open possess pure loneliness at last (64)
Yang Lian's Auckland is a place of disorientation, dislocation; rather than "localizing" place, as Jacob suggested many of us had done, Yang dislocalizes Auckland more profoundly than had Baudelaire Paris or Eliot London. His local and Auckland's local are so different as to make them mutual hallucinations. But it matters that Yang wrote about Auckland, because Grafton Bridge, the War Memorial Museum, and the extinct (or are they?) volcanoes are local landmarks. So between the purely local and the purely international, if either actually exists, we find the dis- or dys-localism of Yang Lian's antipodal city. It merits our reading, if not our touristic gaze.
Many thanks to Michele Leggott, Lisa Samuels, and Robert Sullivan for organizing the conference and to Brian Flaherty and Tim Page for taking the adventure out of technology.
Hilary Chung has an essay on Yang Lian and Gu Cheng in the new on-line issue of Ka Mate Ka Ora. Read it here.
Poetry & comics
It's only Wednesday, and so far, it's been a pretty good week as far as poetry and comics are concerned. On Monday, Sommer Browning's first full-length book of poems (with some comics), Either Way I'm Celebrating, came in the mail direct from Birds, LLC. The press is based in Austin, Minneapolis, New York, and Raleigh. So far Birds, LLC has put out half a dozen books and uphold the opinion that 'great books are a collaboration between editors and authors.' I couldn't agree more—and this is a great book. When I opened it, the first thing I noticed was that Browning has published over twenty books between 1985 and now, but only two are associated with small presses, the others simply identified by date and title on the 'also by' page opposite the title page. Where have I been all my life? How could I have missed all of these? My best guess is that those that are not are not associated with a press are self published and/or unique works of art. Either way, Either Way I'm Celebrating was the first book by Browning I've read, and yet, by the time I was a third of the way through, I felt like I had known Browning's work for years, in that funny way that every now and then you encounter a stranger in a strange place, and suddenly there's nothing strange about the place or the person.
And maybe that's the other connection (aside from poetry and comics) I see between Browning's first 'book-book' (as people sometimes say) and Joe Brainard's Collected Writings just out from the Library of America, which arrived in yesterday's mail. As far as I know, all of Brainard's writing, with the exception of Granary's wonderful edition of I Remember, has been out of print for a long, long, time. So long in fact, that for writers of my generation and younger, the only way to read Brainard has been in special collections libraries. On a 'now or never whim' I bought a very rare copy Brainard's Bolinas Journal a few weeks ago, in part, because it was the first book published by Bill Berkson's by Big Sky Books in 1971. The cover mimics a classic composition notebook, and it includes journal entries and a lot drawings (some comics, some not) and holograph poems from Brainard's first visit to Bolinas. I was worried that a book with so much graphic complexity wouldn't be included in The Collected Writings, or worse, that the publisher would reprint the text and omit the images. But happily, it's here, with all of the images and text that were included in the magnificent first edition, sans cover and colophon. It's a very ambitious undertaking, a marvel to behold, and I'd like to extend my thanks to Ron Padgett for his dedicated work as editor of this book, as well as The Library of America for producing it with integrity and imagination. Together, they have made it possible for present and future generations to experience The Collected Writings of Joe Brainard.
Mina Loy
I first read about Mina Loy in 1987, in Shari Benstock's book about twenty-odd women artists and writers living and working in Paris in the decades 1900 until 1940 - Women of the Left Bank (University of Texas Press, 1986). Of course Gertrude Stein was the prominent or most-known figure in this community. It took many years for some of her less widely read contemporaries to gain notice. London-born Mina Loy was a painter, poet, essayist, sculptor, collagist and a member of the prestigious Salon d'Automne in early twentieth-century Paris. She was in a relationship with the proto-Dadaist poet and pugilist, Arthur Cravan until he disappeared, mysteriously, possibly into the ocean, off the coast of Mexico in 1918. She became involved in the Italian Futurist movement but soon became disillusioned by it and began to write satirically about Futurists' attitudes towards women. Her poetry was praised in journals by T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound and, later, by Kenneth Rexroth. She lived for three decades in France and Italy moving, in 1936, to Lower Manhattan and the Bowery in the United States of America.
In 1989 I was spending a weekend in a house in the bush at Bullaburra in the Blue Mountains, about 100 kilometres outside Sydney. The house was owned by publisher and book importer/distributor Pat Woolley. Among the books and magazines there, I found a copy of Jonathan Williams' Jargon Society 1982 edition of Mina Loy's The Last Lunar Baedecker. Although I had heard of Mina Loy, until then I had not read her work and I was astounded by the poetry, especially 'Anglo-Mongrels and the Rose', and her short essays and notations ('Ready Mades') and profiles of other writers and artists.
I began to research Mina Loy and found a couple of articles by Carolyn Greenstein, later Carolyn Burke. It transpired that Carolyn Burke was working on a biography of Mina Loy. Serendipitously, in 1995 I noticed that Carolyn Burke was launching a magazine for a University of Western Sydney women writers group at gleebooks in Sydney. I introduced myself to her at the launch and asked if she would be willing to be interviewed. I had no idea of where the interview could be published but I was keen to find out as much as possible about Mina Loy. I borrowed a tape recorder and we met in Carolyn's tiny borrowed flat in King's Cross.

Carolyn Burke's exhaustive and illuminating biography, Becoming Modern : The Life of Mina Loy, was published by Farrar, Straus & Giroux in 1996.
In 1984 Carolyn Burke had published an essay, Without Commas, on the friendship and literary connection between Mina Loy and Gertrude Stein in issue four of Poetics Journal. She wrote that when Gertrude Stein was visiting Mina and her then husband, painter Stephen Haweis, in Florence in 1911, Haweis thought that The Making of Americans needed commas. Mina though 'was able to understand the absence of commas'. Later, the essay was incorporated into Becoming Modern (P129) in an extended piece on the relationship between Mina Loy and Gertrude Stein. Here is a brief extract -
"Meeting Gertrude for the first time at the [Mabel] Dodge's, Mina, too, felt an affinity with this large, intelligent woman. It was not until she received a formal letter of introduction from Alice Woods Ullmann, their mutual friend, that she wrote to invite the Stein household to the Cosa San Giorgio. Since Leo was busy, Gertrude and Alice came without him. Recalling the day with pleasure, Toklas noted that "a friendship with her commenced that lasted over years." Mina regained her high spirits in their company: she was, Alice wrote, a charming companion, "beautiful, intelligent, sympathetic and gay." On another occasion, when Mabel asked Gertrude, Alice and Mina to dine with André Gide, Alice watched their hostess drape herself on the chaise longue to converse with the Frenchman while Mina, "who thought this highly ridiculous," danced behind them with an imaginary partner.
Gertrude later recalled that the Haweises were "among the very earliest to be interested in Gertrude Stein." Although she had published Three Lives in 1909, the book sold poorly, and so few readers had responded positively to The Making of Americans that Gertrude noted, "I am writing for myself and strangers." When Stephen pleaded for the insertion of commas in her long, unpunctuated sentences, Gertrude replied that "commas were unnecessary, the sense should be intrinsic and not have to be explained by commas and otherwise commas were only a sign that one should pause and take breath." Following this mimetic demonstration of her principles, Gertrude added that while she had granted Stephen two commas in exchange for a painting, on rereading the manuscript she took them out. The passage concludes: "Mina Loy equally interested was able to understand without the commas. She has always been able to understand."

After my disappointing failure in finding an Australian magazine interested in publishing our interview, a friend of Carolyn's published it in the Boston Review and then I published it on my web site in 1996. The following year John Tranter offered to re-issue the interview in Jacket magazine.
Carolyn Burke has continued to write biographies. Her book about photographer Lee Miller has been translated into French and most recently she has published No Regrets: The Life of Edith Piaf.
Recently, I mentioned Mina Loy's two pieces on Gertrude Stein - they are linked here on my blog, the deletions.
To revisit the featurette on Mina Loy here are the links to issue 5 of Jacket magazine :

Maggie Gyllenhaal interrupted shooting on 'White House Down' to nurse her baby daughter.
The 35-year-old actress' daughter Gloria was only two months old when Maggie started work on the action movie with Channing Tatum and Maggie was forced to halt filming whenever her baby was hungry.
She told chat show host Chelsea Lately: "When I first started 'White House Down', Gloria was about two months old. And they knew they were hiring someone who was nursing. And they said to me, 'That's fine. If you need to go feed her, you go feed her.'
"The first A.D. [Assistant Director] was not a father and he was sort of this gruff guy and sometimes he didn't want to stop."
Maggie, who also has six-year-old daughter Ramona with husband Peter Sarsgaard, previously revealed she used be very judgemental of mothers but after becoming a parent herself, she now looks at them in a different way.
She said: "I used to be judgemental of the way other people would parent. I would look at someone talking on a cell phone while her baby was asleep in a stroller and think, 'How can that mother have her cell phone out?'
"Then you actually have a baby and you're like, 'She's sleeping; I have 10 minutes; I'll make three phone calls.'
"I think so much of my judgement - not only about how people parent, but about people in general - went away when I became a mom."

24 weeks and baby hasn't moved today
Im 28 weeks (boarderline Jan/Feb so Im in both groups lol) but I freaked when my daughter didnt move for a day around the same time as u...just wait til tomorrow and she should be back to normal! I was told baby is still small enough where u dont feel it all and also I guess they sleep a lot during a growth spurt so that's what I figured my daughter was doing! Try drinking something cold/sweet and laying on ur left side that might make her move too!
As soon as my bf fell asleep she started to flutter, and today she was moving like crazy. I think she completely repositioned herself because my stomach today was bulging then got really soft n i had bf feel n she started kicking in a lower area.
I think she just took a day off yesterday :)
If theres no blood, cramping, or immense pressure i wouldn't worry too much, although i totally understand the concern because my baby kicking is always a huge relief and reassurance for me.
My doc says not to be concerned if I don't feel movement every day. This applies at least til my next appointment which will be at 27 wks so... Don't worry! :D
I have days like that too then a couple of days later everything is normal again.
S+J=Arabella 2-27-14
Here is a baby with eyes of blue straight from heaven right to you, straight from heaven up above here is a baby for you to love.

DisappointedPosted on 08 / 30 / 2013
I came because the website describes a good sounding veg burger. When I questioned the server if it was vegan, she wasn't very helpful, looked at the menu and regurgitated what the menu listed for ingredients: potatoes and beans. I asked for the dressings on the side and it came with egg mayo slathered on everything. It was essentially a soft pattie of mushy potatoes with bits of beans. The chef is a gardener and uses his veggies for the basic tomato/cucumber/onion side salad (it was covered in cheese, be careful)It was unfortunately a bad experience.

Suns' Grant Hill ends 70-game streak

DENVER -- Phoenix Suns forward Grant Hill sat out against the Denver Nuggets on Tuesday with a sore right knee and ankle, ending his streak of appearing in 70 straight regular-season games.
Hill left Sunday's game against Cleveland in the first quarter after colliding with rookie Manny Harris under the basket. He didn't return during the 108-100 win.
Suns coach Alvin Gentry said Tuesday before the game that if the decision was left up to Hill, the 38-year-old would play. But ...

WBGO's Farewell to Trumpeter Marcus Belgrave: Listen Now
May 26, 2015. Posted by Tim Wilkins.Add new comment | Filed under: Awilda Rivera, RIP
WBGO says goodbye to trumpeter Marcus Belgrave, who passed away May 24 from heart failure at age 78.
Marcus and his wife Joan, a vocalist, stopped by WBGO in 2014 to talk with Awilda Rivera about their storied careers, making music with everyone from Ray Charles to Martha & The Vandellas. We'd like to share that remarkable conversation with you again now.
Born in Chester Pennsylvania, Belgrave began his professional life in music at age 12, in a band that also included trumpeter Clifford Brown.
Jazz artists he performed with include Dizzy Gillespie, Ella Fitzgerald, Tony Bennett, Charles Mingus and Max Roach. He was also an original member of the Lincoln Center Jazz Orchestra, which he joined at the request of Wynton Marsalis in 1988.
Marcus was an original member of Ray Charles's horn section in the 1950s, then settled in Detroit in 1962, where he joined Motown Records' house band. He can be heard on the hit records of Marvin Gaye, Martha & The Vandellas, The Four Tops and many others.
Belgrave mentored many Detroit jazz musicians, including pianist Geri Allen and violinist Regina Carter.
He also regularly participated in the annual New York Festival of New Trumpet, and spoke with Josh Jackson in 2013 about that event.
Thank you Marcus, we will miss you!
WBGO Says Goodbye to Saxophonist Bob Belden
May 20, 2015. Posted by Tim Wilkins.Add new comment | Filed under: RIP, The Checkout
WBGO says farewell to saxophonist and record producer Bob Belden, who passed away today after a massive heart attack over the weekend.
A highly imaginative arranger, performer and producer, Belden served as the head of artists and repertoire for Blue Note Records, and won multiple Grammy Awards for his reissues of Miles Davis recordings for Columbia Records. He also produced two well-received Davis tribute albums with international musicians, Miles From India and Miles Español.
"Animation," an ensemble he created with trumpeter Tim Hagans, recorded two albums for Blue Note and was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2001. He reformed the group for a concert in 2006 with young musicians from his alma mater, the University of North Texas. He released three RareNoise albums with the reformed group, with a fourth on the way.
He also took Animation to perform at a music festival in Iran in February of this year, with Pete Clagett on trumpet, Jair-Rohm Parker Wells on bass, Roberto Verastegui on piano, and and Matt Young on drums. They were the first American jazz musicians to perform in the country since its 1979 Islamic revolution. A film crew traveled with the musicians for a forthcoming documentary.
Belden and Hagans also brought Animation to perform in WBGO's studios in 2011, where they spoke with Josh Jackson. We'd like to share that special session and conversation with you again now.
Farewell Bob and thank you!
WBGO Says Farewell to Bruce Lundvall
May 19, 2015. Posted by Tim Wilkins.Add new comment | Filed under: RIP
WBGO says goodbye to friend and music lover extraordinaire Bruce Lundvall, who passed away today at 79 from complications of Parkinsons' Disease.
Born in Englewood, New Jersey in 1935, Lundvall fell under the spell of jazz on Manhattan's 52nd Street in his teens. He rose from an entry-level job at Columbia Records to lead the label in North America for two decades. He nurtured the careers of - among many others - Dexter Gordon, Herbie Hancock, Stan Getz, and Wynton Marsalis, James Taylor and Willie Nelson.
Lundvall then ran Blue Note Records for nearly three decades. He took over the dormant label in 1984, and turned it into a powerhouse that celebrated artists from the label's golden age, such as McCoy Tyner and Joe Henderson, and supported new talent, including singers Norah Jones, Dianne Reeves and Cassandra Wilson.
Bruce was an honoree at WBGO's Champions of Jazz Gala in 2012. In this excerpt, record producer Tommy LiPuma describes meeting Lundvall for the first time in the 1970s, and discovering their shared love of jazz, although both worked extensively - and very successfully - with pop acts at the time:
Artists whose careers he championed - including singer Bobby McFerrin and Paquito D'Rivera, who Lundvall brought to New York from Cuba with Irakere in 1978 to record a Grammy-winning album, expressed their thanks and performed songs Bruce had chosen for the occasion.
In this excerpt, McFerrin tells the story of how Lundvall agreed to back his 1984 solo album The Voice, which became a platinum-seller for Elektra:
"Thank you, thank you, thank you, thank you very much!" said a beaming McFerrin, summing up the feelings of everyone in the room after he sang two of Lundvall's bebop favorites - Charlie Parker's "Scrapple From The Apple" and Thelonious Monk's "Round Midnight."
Thank you, Bruce, from all of us. Because of you, the music you loved lives on in our hearts and minds, and in generations to come.

World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition – Rapid Fire Update is Now Live
Wargaming today deployed another exciting slew of content—Rapid Fire Update—for World of Tanks: Xbox 360 Edition. Available worldwide, this content update to the successful multiplayer tank warfare game allows tankers to command some of history's most dominant U.S. autoloader tanks and adds a total of thirteen brand new American and German tanks. Two dynamic new maps have also been included in the Rapid Fire Update, delivering variety to the battlefields.
Players can now research advanced autoloaders, including the deadly T-57 heavy, and roll them into battle. Further expansion of the U.S. and German tech trees and the addition of the high-tier autoloaders give players more options to strategize and engage in battle, while adding a new tactical element to their tank play.
Each map in the Rapid Fire Update offers different tactics for various tanks. The Arctic Region presents large areas covered in ice and snow, rocky outcrops, hills and ridges. The turns and twists in this icy deathtrap make Arctic Region an engaging battlefield. The Erlenberg map offers green hills adjacent to a close-packed town which is bisected by a river with three bridges. These bridges and the different types of terrain in this map create natural contact points between opposing forces and allow for a variety of viable tactics.

Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery (ALNC)
, Elwood, Will Co., Illinois...
The following lists the active burial sections at ALNC. These sections were opened for interments on the dates listed...
Active section(s) for Cremated Remains:
1) Section 11, opened October 2012
2) Section 12, opened October 2012
3) Columbarium 7 Wall 20, opened January 2016
Active section(s) for Casketed Remains:
1) Section 15, opened May 2015
2) Section 16, opened November 2015
When the above gravesites are made presentable with sod and engraved marker stones or niche covers, I'll upload gravesite photographs for these Sections without the need for photo requests.
Please refrain from requesting a photograph until after the professional grounds-keepers have had time to engrave and install marker stones (or niche covers), lay sod, and generally make the gravesites presentable. If I have not uploaded a photo by the 4-month mark, please do request a photo.
November 2015 -
The staff has spent the last two summers working diligently to level and re-sod most of the cemetery. This includes raising the height and leveling thousands of marker stones, then removing the old grass/weeds and their root systems, leveling the ground with new black dirt and laying sod. The sod will need watered for a couple of weeks before it is ready for photographing.
Re-sodding of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 and 9 is complete. The re-soding crews are taking a winter break.
Thank you for your patience.
Read This BEFORE Uploading Photos...
I shouldn't have to ask, however, with the rapid proliferation of "cell-phone photography" it has become necessary for me put in text what I think should be obvious...
Please do NOT upload gravesite photographs if they...
1) were taken at an impossible angle,
2) show bird poop on the stone,
3) have spiders, other insects in the frame,
4) have grass clippings, mud or debris on the stone,
5) have your shadow or your car in the frame,
6) have people, pets or other crap in the background,
7) have flowers or other debris blocking or making it difficult to read the engraved text
8) show the gravesite in any other "not ready for primetime" condition (for example: dead or rotting cut-flowers, open pit, plywood covers, shovels, other tools or construction equipment or the groundkeepers or workers in the frame).
In short,
take pride in your work!
Don't place a gravesite photo on one of my memorial page that you would NOT be proud to show your family if you had placed it on one of your own relative's memorial pages.
Thank you for your consideration.
Information - where it belongs...
Biographical information belongs in the "bio" field or in other text fields on the MAIN memorial page.
Please do NOT post pictures of text to any of my memorial pages (Example: Do NOT post pictures of; obituaries, death notices, news paper articles, death certificates, remembrance cards, etc.).
Also, do NOT post biographical information in the Flowers section. This too, belongs in the appropriate text fields on the main page.
Forward the information using the "Edit" tab and appropriate link. I'll ensure it is added to the memorial page in a prompt, accurate and professional manner.
Do NOT post non-photograph graphics to the photo section (such as military emblems, membership emblems, flags, candles, etc). These types of graphics waste the 5 free "photo" slots provided by findagrave.com.
Family members should NOT have to sponsor a memorial page (cost $5.00) in order to upload a favorite picture simply because someone uploaded a non-photograph graphic or a picture of text to the photos section of the memorial page.
Transfer requests should be for direct relatives within four generations. This does not include Cousins, Aunts or Uncles. Nor does it include your neighbor or BFF.
You need not ask for a transfer if your "Contributions to Find A Grave" on your profile page shows an insignificant effort at "Pay-it-forward."
"The goal at Find A Grave should NOT be to manage all of your family members. If you have information to add, you should suggest it to the current manager and they should make the changes."
Jim Tipton,
Find A Grave creator
My Photos...
Please respect my photographs, they are for your personal use only. Do NOT copy them to this or any other website; do NOT sell them, or otherwise attempt to profit from their use without written permission. (For example: Do NOT charge your relatives a "handling fee" or "re-imbursement fee" or "printing fee" to obtain a copy of your family tree if it contains one of my photographs.)
In summary, do NOT take credit for any photograph that you did not physically take yourself.
About me...
I graduated from Freeport Area High School, PA in 1971 and spent the next year at a technical college in Columbus, OH.
I received my physical notice from the draft board in the spring of 1972 and in August that year I followed in my father's foot steps, joining the US Navy (he put in 24 years before retiring as a CTCM in 1969). I spent 8 years as a submarine qualified nuclear electrician on both Fast Attack and Ballistic Missile Submarines. In October 1980 I was honorably discharged as an EM1(SS).
I spent the next 28 years working in the civilian nuclear power industry in both Ohio and Illinois. Most of that time in the training department as a Senior Reactor Operator License Training Instructor for both Intitial and Continuing training students.
I retired in August of 2008 after 36 years working in the nuclear power field.
Currently, I am still retired and live in north-central Illinois, within 2 miles of the intersection of I-80 and I-55.
I enjoy researching my family tree (9,000+ and growing). My father's family is from Allegheny and Armstrong counties in western Pennsylvania. My mother's family is from Charles County, in southern Maryland.
My family has limbs, branches, and roots that stretch across the United States. Most however, settled in Maryland, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Illinois, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas, and California.
I enjoy taking cemetery, historical site, and other photographs. I am willing to assist with reasonable gravesite and non-gravesite photo requests; I will also consider the unreasonable requests.

Seebacher - 45595938
jer: I'd like to thank you for making my suggested edits for my longtime friend, Joe Seebacher. Thanks also for going "the extra mile" and adding the actual obit from the Daily Herald. I got the info I sent you from a funeral home/mass card I had kept. If I can help you in the future, just let me know. Jim-S.

There appears to be 2 records for Philip John Dziuk.
Can you merge the 2 records together ?
Only one of the records shows up during a google search.
Looks like I sponsored one record and you did the other ?

William C Kennedy
Hello Gentlemen,
First, thank you both for all your hard work!
I'm sending identical messages to both of you. If you could help to merge the two duplicated memorials, I'd really appreciate it. This is not a relative of mine, so I am not requesting transfer. (If you'd prefer to transfer, however, that is fine with me.) I was doing some research for a friend (Willam's grandson) and we discovered the duplication. Grandson is 100% sure these are duplicates as his parents are in the listed obit and he has visited the cemetery where his grandfather is buried and seen the marker.
Memorial #44468269 (created 2009) for William C Kennedy showing his correct burial location at Abraham Lincoln National Cemetery is actually the duplicate to #7460511 (created 2003) that shows an unknown burial location but has obituary information.
Following the guidelines, the older memorial should be kept and the newer one deleted, however, if the memorials could be merged without losing the obituary info, that would be lovely.
I'd be happy to help in any way I can. Thank you so much for your assistance.

Graphics? It was an obituary!!! They have never asked me to remove anything nor have they ever removed any obits or pictures that I add. And I send edits and add stuff every day! And I do NOT care what you wrote because it makes no difference. These memorials do not belong to us, but to findagrave and the families. IOW, you do not "OWN" them. Have a good day...

Normally, I do not respond to "BS" messages, but this statement is incorrect: "It appears to have been done to deliberately circumvent the normal Edit process." There is no way to add a picture to a memorial through the edit processes. I removed the picture, not because you asked findagrave or me, but only because you have his obit in his memorial and my picture was a duplicate of it. I work on all "Prunty's" in the US.

RE: Pilot killed in crash into Delaware Bay
After I sent you the inquiry, I re-read his obit and it says he was a test pilot for TWA's maintenance department. The family said he use to take them up and fly over NJ for about three hours testing it out before putting it into service. So my inquiry about the Navy is moot.
Thanks for the thoughtful reply, though.

You are stranded on an island, and here you can do quests for the inhabitants, level up your character, build whatever you want, play with cool weapons and much more. Your goal is however to find a way off the island and find out how you got there. As mentioned, you can build, craft, and you can also manipulate the island's terrain.
You can dig up and down with the shovel. And you can build stuff with the log which you get from cutting down trees.

Cincinnati's long-discussed streetcar system is a bit closer to reality today after City Council approved spending $2.58 million on the project.
The money will be used for planning and design work for the system. Its first phase would be a loop through downtown and Over-the-Rhine, with a later segment built to the uptown area near the University of Cincinnati and local hospitals.
That didn't take long.
Less than 48 hours after it was revealed that the Ohio Ethics Commission issued an advisory opinion last year stating Cincinnati City Councilman Chris Bortz shouldn't take part in decisions about a proposed streetcar project, a formal complaint has been filed with the commission.
The Hamilton County Republican Party endorsed five people Thursday night in this November's elections for Cincinnati City Council.
As expected, the GOP slate includes all three of the party's incumbents: Leslie Ghiz, Charlie Winburn and recent appointee Amy Murray. Also getting the nod were Wayne Lippert and Catherine Smith Mills.
City Council today approved funding and accountability measures for the Cincinnati streetcar project, allowing the project to move forward.
On Monday, the Budget and Finance Committee approved the measures, which CityBeat covered in further detail here. The funding ordinance closes the streetcar project's $17.4 million budget gap by issuing more debt and pulling funding from various capital projects, including infrastructure improvements around the Horseshoe Casino.
The accountability motion will require the city manager to update City Council with a timeline of key milestones, performance measures, an operating plan, staffing assessments and monthly progress reports.
Council members Roxanne Qualls, Laure Quinlivan, Chris
Seelbach, Yvette Simpson and Wendell Young voted for the measures.
Council members P.G. Sittenfeld, Chris Smitherman and Charlie Winburn
voted against both. Councilwoman Pam Thomas voted against the funding
ordinance, but she voted for the accountability motion.
City Council also unanimously approved funding for a development project on Fourth and Race streets, which includes a downtown grocery store, luxury apartment tower and parking garage to replace Pogue's Garage. CityBeat covered that project in further detail here.
Amy Murray came in 13th two years ago, but tonight she came in first.
The Hyde Park resident was the recommended choice of the Hamilton County Republican Party's Committee on Nominations and Candidate Development to replace Chris Monzel on Cincinnati City Council. Monzel left half-way through his council term Friday to serve on the Hamilton County Commission.
With all the last-minute deal-making and back and forth among Cincinnati officials, some residents remain confused about details of the city's operating budget for this year. At least, that's the impression CityBeat gets based on its feedback.
Among the most asked-about items is exactly which city-owned swimming pools are affected by budget cuts to help reduce Cincinnati's $54.7 million deficit. In all, 19 of its 33 pools won't open next summer.
Perhaps hoping to mimic the suspenseful aspects of an Alfred Hitchcock film or a Thomas Harris novel, an ultra-conservative group has been issuing press releases announcing its endorsements for Cincinnati City Council one at a time.
Oh, the anticipation!
Dozens of residents and business owners gathered in Over-the-Rhine on Tuesday to launch a campaign that seeks to persuade Mayor-elect John Cranley and the newly elected City Council to support the $133 million streetcar project.
Attendees included Ryan Messer, who used his life savings to renovate his home in Over-the-Rhine; Derek Bauman, co-chair of Cincinnatians for Progress; Jean-Francois Flechet, owner of the Taste of Belgium; and Derek dos Anjos, owner of The Anchor.
"We're here today to keep the conversation going outside of political rhetoric and partisan politics," Messer said. "Simply put, the streetcar is a component of Cincinnati economic development, and it's a project that grows the whole city — not just an urban core, which, by the way, is an important part of developing this region."
The group intends to lobby Cranley and the newly elected council, which appear poised to cancel the project when they take office in December.
At least three of nine elected council members — P.G. Sittenfeld, David Mann and Kevin Flynn — have told media outlets that they want a full accounting of the project before making a final decision. Another three — Chris Seelbach, Yvette Simpson and Wendell Young — are on the record as supporting the project. The final three — Christopher Smitherman, Charlie Winburn and Amy Murray — adamantly opposed the project in the past.
Members of the pro-streetcar group invited Cranley and all elected council members to join them at a town hall-style meeting on Nov. 14 at the Mercantile Library, where supporters will discuss their path forward. So far, supporters have publicly discussed a concerted lobbying effort, a referendum if council passes an ordinance undoing the streetcar project and possible legal action.
As CityBeat first uncovered, the costs of canceling the project are currently unknown, and some of the costs could actually fall on the operating budget that pays for police, firefighters and human services instead of the capital budget that is currently financing the streetcar project.
Much of the uncertainty falls on ongoing construction for the streetcar, which has continued despite the newly elected city government's intent to stop the project. As of September, the city spent $23 million on the project and contractually obligated $94 million, some of which city officials say will need to be paid back even if the project were canceled.
The U.S. Department of Transportation also told city officials in a June 19 letter that nearly $41 million of nearly $45 million in federal grants would need to be returned if the project were terminated.
Supporters also claim Cincinnati would be giving up a 2.7-to-1 return on investment over 35 years if the city abandoned the streetcar now. That estimate is derived from a 2007 study conducted by consulting firm HDR, which was evaluated and supported by the University of Cincinnati.
Project executive John Deatrick says the HDR study is now outdated and the city is working on updating the numbers. Still, Deatrick says the project is intended to spur economic development, not just provide another form of public transportation.
The Nov. 13 issue of CityBeat will give a more in-depth look at the campaign to save the streetcar and some of the people involved in the movement.

There are singular moments in our lives that irreversibly change our culture and leave a permanent impact upon our nation. The entry of America into World War I was one of those moments. A society that remained isolated from the troubles of the world entered the fray as a colossus and took the role of the most important country in the world. America has recently seen a similar, if more subtle change in our culture: Office rents in Washington D.C. are now poised to exceed those in New York City.
In most countries, the nation's capital is the center of life. London, Paris, Madrid, Buenos Aires, Santiago and Tokyo are prime examples. The centers of finance, culture and government in their respective countries are typically
located in one remarkable capital, and the population in its vicinity often comprises a quarter to a third of the nation.
The United States historically has been different. For over 200 years, New York has been our center of finance as well as most of our culture. Chicago, home to thousands of manufacturing, agricultural, and transportation enterprises, has always been known as the "Second City." Los Angeles became the movie and television capital – thereby completing a trio of world-renowned cities globally recognized as what represents America. Washington D.C. was where our national government was housed.
Most Americans don't realize that until World War II, Washington was a sleepy little town. David Brinkley, perhaps our greatest television journalist, wrote about this in his fascinating triumph of history, Washington Goes to War. Brinkley detailed how Washington, despite being the capital of the most important country in the world, remained an unsophisticated small town, even after the growth of the federal government brought on by the New Deal.
The city was not prepared for the invasion of staff necessary to manage the war effort. Because men had been drafted into the armed services, the women of the country poured into the nation's capital to provide the needed help. That millions of women were joining America's workforce for the first time was itself a monumental change in our society.
Unfortunately, there was not enough housing to accommodate the huge influx of employees, and the government had to build what amounted to barracks to house them. Woman slept four to a room and in shifts. Trailer parks were constructed for additional temporary housing. The critical element here is that even during the Roosevelt Era and World War II, the government envisioned its expansion and the need for hastily-built housing as temporary.

Out of the cockpit in Indianapolis
Last week the Indianapolis Symphony Orchestra and Symphonic Choir gave the world premiere of my orchestrated Missa Mirablis. Conducted by Nicholas McGegan they did an extraordinary, passionate, splendid job. Eric Stark had prepared the singers (over a hundred of them) with the keenest care, and Nic knew, understood and realized the score beyond a composer's dreams.
I was asked a number of times during the week what it felt like to sit in the audience during the performances themselves. It's not usual for me to be out of control in a concert situation. Normally I'm on stage – fingers on keys, eyes in contact and body in rhythmic connection with musicians and conductor. A soloist is always in the cockpit, even if occasionally I have been forced to be a co-pilot on the journey. But on this occasion, once the rehearsals were over, everything was out of my hands. With these performers the ride was smooth and thrilling but I can imagine how an incorrect tempo or a false entry could irritate … or worse.
A composer friend once told me about a performance when the solo pianist insisted on playing his piece from memory. "Maybe it would be better to use the score. No one will mind," suggested my friend gently, his attempt at tact bubbling underneath with panic. "Oh no, I know the piece. Much better to play from memory." You've guessed it. In the performance the pianist got totally lost in one section and began making it up, ribbons of wildest rubbish, a cacophony of banality, for what seemed to the composer like minutes. The piece ended and the composer had to acknowledge the audience's polite applause with an equally polite bow.
There was no danger of that scenario this past week. In fact the main difference I noticed from my usual life was that my nervousness for a performance was not combined with a constant anxiety to have warm, limber hands. The experience of butterflies in the stomach whilst flexing digits is a constant theme in my professional life. It was a rare pleasure to be anxious in mind alone.

2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Something like "The Giver"At first glance the characters are weak, the story is confusing. I hated the series at first but I slowly found my self drawn in by its similarity to "The Giver". Their societies were the same in the way they both witheld what was going on from the people in the village, and they both had a system to eliminate their unwanted and imperfect humans. I suggest to keep watching, if you have the ...Read more
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Beautiful and intriguingThis is not for everybody, especially those who want to think critically about what they are watching. I think it is so fascinating. The soundtrack and animation is amazing, a real work of art. Everything in the anime seems crucial to explaining this world they live in. I agree that it doesn't market itself well with being mature and psychological. Even though their society is so ...Read more
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful:Now THIS is interesting!This series has some of the best artwork and animation that I've seen in a long time, combined with an interesting story with great characterization along with great voice acting from newcomer Risa Taneda as well as the ever popular Kana Hanazawa. Shin Sekai Yori is a breath of fresh air for those looking for a truly original series!
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:My Desire for a Thoughtful Anime has been met.Once I start watching a series, I make it a point to finish every episode. This can often be difficult when the ending is predictable, or the creator thinks the viewer is so dumb that they have to spell out every little action.Read more

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Absolutely Stunning ShowWhile it can be rather slow at times, especially in the beginning, this is one of the best-written shows I have ever seen. Everything ties together, and despite the emotional moments you have felt throughout the series, it feels realistic and complete. The finale tied everything together extremely well, and I'm tempted to re-watch it to pick up on the things I missed the first time ...Read more

1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Nothing even comes close...Spoiler Alert! Click to show or hideWow, I have watched well over 100 Anime series and none of them match up with this one. From the moment when when Satoru says that Saki was the last from their school and she responds that there were more kids and then they just ignore it and change the subject I knew this was going to be good. But, it got even better than i could have thought, the depth of the story is almost
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:Loved the feel of itThis show had just about everything I enjoy in an anime. The world building, character development, and artwork all worked very well together. Though the artwork seemed to taper off a few episodes in (it started off absolutely incredible imo, loved the style), but overall I continued watching because the plot itself was good.
1 out of 1 people found this review helpful:If I had to describe this series in one word...This is the first time I've written a review on here and its one the few times I've even thought of doing it. It takes many words to describe this show but if I had to pick one then i'd go with "mature". If you want a series description then read the "About this show" on crunchy roll.

I've been getting an 'Invalid JSON' after making a jQuery AJAX Request. This request code is not important, so i have chosen to omit it.
I've delved into the jQuery library and stripped out the relevant code, which is aggregated into the snippet below.
So, given that my request returns a string "
{'x':'1'}", why should during the course of processing it, jQuery return "
{'x':']'}" ?
//regex values stripped from jQuery 1.5.2.
var data = "{'x':'1'}";
var rvalidchars = /^[\],:{}\s]*$/;
var rvalidescape = /\\(?:["\\\/bfnrt]|u[0-9a-fA-F]{4})/g;
var rvalidtokens = /"[^"\\\n\r]*"|true|false|null|-?\d+(?:\.\d*)?(?:[eE][+\-]?\d+)?/g;
var rvalidbraces = /(?:^|:|,)(?:\s*\[)+/g;
//test the various stages of data.replace from the jQuery library
alert (data.replace(rvalidescape, "@")); // {'x':'1'}"
alert (data.replace(rvalidescape, "@").replace(rvalidtokens, "]")); //{'x':']'}"
alert (data.replace(rvalidescape, "@").replace(rvalidtokens, "]").replace(rvalidbraces, "")); //{'x':']'}"
You can see it at this JSFiddle
Moreoever, the following conversions happen:
'{x:12}' --> '{x:]}'
'{"x":"12"}' --> '{],]}'
I'm guessing someone could explain to me why the regex does this, but I'm also curious as to why jQuery does it.
Any help would be much appreciated

''Blackfella, whitefella/ Doesn't matter what your colour,/
Long as you, a true fella …''
- The Warumpi Band (1987)
LAST week, with his club embroiled in a race row, Melbourne coach Mark Neeld said he felt like he was trapped inside a Seinfeld comedy - five days of headlines over an incident that never happened.
But let's say it did happen. Let's say a new coach arrived at an AFL club with indigenous players and non-indigenous players on its list. He speaks to the non-indigenous players individually, to the indigenous players as a group. Must that be a drama of national proportions?
Last year, an indigenous AFL player told me he regularly relied on an indigenous teammate to explain the coach's instructions. I have heard similar stories about white players, but black culture is commonly understood as a group culture.
When I interviewed Liam Jurrah for the first time after he arrived at Melbourne, he came to the interview flanked by two indigenous teammates. He did not want to do it alone.
A new coach who spoke to his white players individually and his black players as a group could be both misguided and well-intentioned. What AFL clubs require are internal procedures whereby such misunderstandings can be raised and dealt with promptly. To my knowledge, every time there is a group of Aboriginal players at a club, one will emerge as a leader/elder/spokesman. The smart clubs deal with him.
But even with the best system there are going to be bumps and collisions. The tension between indigenous and non-indigenous Australia never goes away, it moves around like the weather.
Suddenly there is a lightning strike and a wild storm. But to those who would list all such occurrences under the one heading of ''racism'', I maintain there is a qualitative difference between well-intentioned people making honest mistakes and someone like Andrew Bolt.
In his recent court case, he was found to be exacerbating racial tensions through misleading journalism based on distortions and innuendo (and then acting innocent).
Footy is two games now. One is the game played on the field. The other is the game played out in the media. While nominally about footy, the aim of this second game is to supply the season with a succession of off-field ''dramas'' in the manner of a reality TV show. Each year, the scrutiny of major figures intensifies.
What has happened now is that the politics of race has entered the tabloid language of the game. Parts of the media that were scoffing at the idea of racism in footy 20 years ago are now among those leading the charge to make it an issue. The result? Front-page headlines such as FOOTY RACE WAR.
It's too late for the AFL to turn back. At some point in the past, perhaps without really knowing it, the AFL took off on an adventure with Aboriginal Australia. All involved should get used to the idea that it's going to be a pretty bumpy flight even if everyone acts in good faith.
Chuck in those at the edges who do not act in good faith and we are left with a complex reality with ever-changing subtleties.
My advice to AFL clubs is (1) become good listeners, both to senior Aboriginal figures in the game and the senior Aboriginal player at each club, and (2) don't be panicked by the media. Admit mistakes. Whatever setbacks occur, you're still a leader in indigenous race relations just by having a go.

Plenty of regions around the world suffer from drought, including the southern U.S., but are able to cope without ending up in famine.
The U.S. is in a catch-22 position when it comes to aiding the starving Somalians. But if the U.S. does not provide assistance, people will continue dying. The U.S. has provided more than $600 million in support, the most of any country. In 2008, the U.S. State Department designated al-Shabab a terrorist organization, making it illegal to provide humanitarian aid to the areas under control of al-Shabab. Two charities have been prohibited from drilling a bore hole for water since it could be used by al-Shabab.
With no end to the famine in sight, and critics blaming the U.S. for the crisis, the State Department is backing off and has stated it will relax enforcement against charities providing humanitarian aid. The U.S. Agency for International Development announced Thursday that it will provide an additional $23 million to the Horn of Africa, with $10 million designated for Somalia.
Somalia has been in turmoil since 1969. The country gained independence from western colonialists in 1960. In 1969, military dictator Mohamed Siad Barre seized control, bringing an element of Islamic rule into the government. His government collapsed in 1991 and there has not been any central government control since. The FTG controls only parts of Somalia; warlords ravage the rest of the country. A U.S. humanitarian effort in 1993 with the U.N. to provide aid during an earlier draught resulted in 18 troops killed by Osama bin Laden backed militants, documented in the movie Blackhawk Down. In 1998, Osama bin Laden's Somalia-based operation blew up U.S. embassies in Nairobi, Kenya and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, killing 230 people. The U.S. found and killed a top al Qaeda operative behind the bombings in Somalia in 2009, Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan. Al-Shabab took over most of the southern part of Somalia in 2005, and by 2008 was colluding with Somali pirates to steal ransoms and bounties. The country is now in shambles, with infrastructure like schools and landline phones mostly wiped out.
Al-Shabab enforces one of the strictest versions of Sharia law in the world. In 2008, a 13-year old girl from Kismayo who told authorities she had been gang raped was buried up to her neck and stoned to death for adultery in front of 1000 onlookers. When some people watching tried to save her, the militia opened fire on the crowd.
Christians are under severe persecution in Somalia. There are fewer than 1000 in the entire country. Al-Shabab is committed to hunting them down, killing several every month. The umbrella organization over Somali Muslim religious groups issued a memorandum in 2003 stating that Somali Muslims who become Christians must be killed. It was signed by 14 sheikhs representing different major Somali clans.
Transparency International ranked Somalia in last place among countries on its 2010 annual Corruption Perceptions Index. The Institute for Economics and Peace also ranked Somalia in last place on its 2011 Global Peace Index.
Although there has been one positive development recently, recapturing Mogadishu back from al-Shabab last month, there are many hurdles left. Even if the TFG ultimately defeats al-Shabab, it has already conceded so much ground it may be too late to save the country from radical Islam. In March 2009, the TFG acceded to al-Shabab's demands and adopted Sharia law as the nation's official judicial system. Girls are no longer permitted to attend school, woman are required to wear veils, men are required to have beards, and music and television are banned.
What should be done about Somalia? The U.S should secretly go through back channels to provide aid to Somalia, so the aid is not turned away by al-Shabab. In addition, there needs to be closer monitoring of the aid to ensure that it goes to the people who really need it, not the warlords. This is about stopping al Qaeda and its associated organizations from terrorizing the world and causing genocide. This is not about drought and famine; those are just symptoms of the underlying disease of militant Islam. It may require several hundred million more dollars from the U.S., but if it is not stopped will spread to other countries and there will be more attacks on U.S. citizens. Islamic terrorism is possibly the biggest threat facing the world today, and once we start focusing on it as the root of the problem, a lot of other problems in the world will go away.

This is a Group Loan
In a group loan, each member of the group receives an individual loan but is part of a larger group of individuals. The group is there to provide support to the members and to provide a system of peer pressure, but groups may or may not be formally bound by a group guarantee. In cases where there is a group guarantee, members of the group are responsible for paying back the loans of their fellow group members in the case of delinquency or default.
Kiva's Field Partners typically feature one borrower from a group. The loan description, sector, and other attributes for a group loan profile are determined by the featured borrower's loan. The other members of the group are not required to use their loans for the same purpose.
