As summer approaches, lobster shacks along New England's coast start popping open, like flowers in bloom, for the short-yet-busy season. Connecticut-based travel writer Mike Urban, author of the book Lobster Shacks: A Road-Trip Guide to New England's Best Lobster Joints (Countryman Press, 2016), dishes his choices for the 12 best lobster shacks in New England.
Five Islands Lobster Co.
Located on a pier at the end of Route 127, Five Islands Lobster serves up some of the best cold-water, hard-shell lobster you'll find anywhere. Throw in its award-winning fried clams and the shack's magnificent view of Sheepscot Bay, and you'll find it hard to leave. Georgetown, ME. 207-371-2990; fiveislandslobster.com
Arnold's Lobster & Clam Bar
Touristy though it may seem, Arnold's is the place to go for succulently steamed lobster on the Cape. Owner Nate Nickerson III keeps the lines moving while serving more than a thousand customers on most summer days: lobster rolls, of course, but also crab cakes topped with guacamole and summer salsa. Eastham, MA. 508-255-2575; arnoldsrestaurant.com
Chauncey Creek Lobster Pier
This delightful waterside eatery, worlds away from the outlet-mall crowds of nearby Kittery, sits on a 200-foot-wide planked pier astride a broad tidal creek. With its colorfully painted picnic tables and a bird's-eye view of continuously passing watercraft, Chauncey Creek is a great place to BYOB and tuck into meaty, fresh lobsters imported daily from Canada's cold waters. Kittery Point, ME. 207-439-1030; chaunceycreek.com
Abbott's Lobster in the Rough
Abbott's cooks its lobsters via the low-steaming method, in massive cast-iron vaults, to seal in all the crustaceans' natural flavor. Dine next to the scenic harbor on a dock where striped bass feed on chowder crackers below. Abbott's is also famous for its hot, buttery lobster roll–the version that's a Connecticut original. Noank, CT. 860-536-7719; abbotts-lobster.com
Thurston's Lobster Pound
Housed on a two-story, screened-in deck overlooking scenic Bass Harbor, Thurston's is tops for off-the-boat-fresh lobster on Mount Desert Island. There's a commercial boat dock next door where lobsters are brought in throughout the day, then boiled in a massive outdoor cooker right outside Thurston's front door. Bernard, ME. 207-244-7600; thurstonslobster.com
The Clam Shack
Don't let the name fool you: There's plenty of good lobster to be had at The Clam Shack. Owner Steve Kingston makes what may be the best lobster roll anywhere in his tiny riverside shack in downtown Kennebunkport. The lobster meat is picked fresh daily and kept ice-chilled until served on a toasted, lightly buttered burger bun. Kennebunkport, ME. 207-967-3321; theclamshack.net
Roy Moore Lobster Company
This may be the friendliest lobster shack anywhere. Housed in a diminutive shingled building on Rockport's Bearskin Neck waterfront, Roy Moore Lobster cooks its crustaceans continuously throughout the day, so there's rarely a wait for a fresh-cooked meal. Start with owner Ken Porter's thick, creamy clam chowder, and dine atop wooden lobster crates on the crowded yet friendly back deck. Rockport, MA. 978-546-6696
Brown's Lobster Pound
Perched over the tidal Blackwater River near Seabrook's inviting beach, Brown's has been serving up fresh boiled lobster for more than 50 years. The timber-frame dining hall is a great place to feast on lobsters, fried clams, lobster rolls, and creamy, spicy lobster bisque. The summer sunsets off the back deck are not to be missed. Seabrook, NH. 603-474-3331; brownslobsterpound.com
The Place
This is just about the only place anywhere that steams and then roasts its lobsters over an open-air, wood-fed firepit. The flavor is as unique and delightful as the tree stumps that serve as seats around brightly painted wooden tables. Two other must-haves from the firepit here are the roasted clams and the flame-roasted corn on the cob. Guilford, CT. 203-453-9276; theplaceguilford.com
Waterman's Beach Lobster
The James Beard Foundation designated this family-run beachfront shack an "America's Classic" in 2001. It prides itself on its fresh lobster, freshly baked pies and bread, and steamed corn and clams. Dine on picnic tables overlooking island-dotted Muscle Ridge Channel and watch local lobstermen offload their catch on the dock by the beach. South Thomaston, ME. 207-596-7819; watermansbeachlobster.com
Aunt Carrie's
This shingled, Rhode Island-shore mainstay has been serving up fresh seafood for nearly 100 years. Known primarily as the birthplace of the clam cake, Carrie's also serves excellent shore dinners of fresh boiled lobster, steamed clams, Rhode Island-style chowder, fried fish, and freshly baked pie for dessert. Narragansett, RI. 401-783-7930; auntcarriesri.com
Shaw's Fish and Lobster Wharf
A bit off the beaten path, Shaw's Lobster Pound in New Harbor is worth the trip. The lobster is "wicked" fresh, and their deck seating consists of picnic tables overlooking a picturesque harbor. The accommodations are casual, and the locals will tell you that this is the real lobster-eating deal. New Harbor, ME. 207-677-2200.
What tops your list of the best lobster shacks in New England?

Ozzfest 2007....FOR FREE (NOT BULLSHIT)
From Ozzfest.com
\"This will change everybodys impression of the way touring in the summer in America should be.\"--Sharon Osbourne
Imagine a day of wall-to-wall hard rock.
Imagine the world\'s greatest headliner sharing a bill with cutting edge new artists.
Imagine if this brass-knuckled beast was hellbent on coming to your town.
Imagine this earth-pounding event...FOR FREE.
2007 will forever mark the year OZZFEST spiked the concert industry\'s punch and gave every head-banging American kid a reason to strap on an air guitar with the historic announcement that tickets to the summers premiere touring concert festival won\'t cost fans a dime.
Testing one, two, three...
That\'s right, OZZY and SHARON OSBOURNE and tour producer LIVE NATION broke the news today at the Concert Industry Consortium in Los Angeles that their 12th annual hard rock spectacular--a 25-date extravaganza launching July 7 in Los Angeles--is pulling the plug on ticket prices and giving the power back to the fans calling this summers OZZFEST \"FreeFest.\" The other OZZFEST cities as of now are San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Denver, Albuquerque, Phoenix, Dallas, San Antonio, Kansas City, St Louis, Chicago, Indianapolis, Columbus, Pittsburgh, New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Hartford, Charlotte, Atlanta, West Palm Beach, Nashville. Note: a final confirmed list of cities and dates is forthcoming.
\"For the last few years,\" says SHARON, \"ticket prices have steadily climbed as artists demand more and more money for summer tours. We certainly want everybody to make money, however we also want the kids to be able to afford to come out and have an incredible experience. If we continued with the traditional touring festival model, we would have no choice but to raise ticket prices again this year.\"
Cited as one of rocks biggest juggernauts in the cover feature of Sunday\'s New York Times\' Arts and Leisure section (6/25/06), OZZFEST and Live Nation will turn to sponsors to provide added support for the festival\'s new incarnation. This summers OZZFEST will provide select sponsors with a unique opportunity to engage fans one-on-one utilizing one of musics best known brands.
\"We\'re reaching the same point we did years ago when kids no longer wanted to pay for overpriced CDs,\" compares Sharon. \"As a result, they found alternative ways of getting music. Thats whats happening with summer touring in this country, its out-pricing itself. We started this and we want to keep it and we want to make it bigger and bigger each year by getting bigger sponsors to be involved with the festival and underwriting the festival. Thats what its about.\"
For the past 11 years, music fans have made OZZFEST the most successful and enduring rock music festival in the United States, said Jason Garner, Live Nation President of North American Concerts. What better way to say Thank You to the music fans who have made this possible than inviting them to attend OZZFEST for free.
To gain entry into the event, fans will go to www.ozzfest.com or www.livenation.com to find links that will direct them to special sponsor sites where tickets can be secured. More details regarding the process are forthcoming.
As OZZFESTs founder and namesake, OZZY will make his triumphant return to the headlining position on this year\'s mainstage after surprising fans last year by performing on the down-and-dirty second stage at a handful of dates. Audiences can expect the Prince of Darkness to unveil new songs from his forthcoming studio album, OZZYs first disc of new material since 2001. While the rest of the in-progress bill is under wraps, Sharon points out, \"we have bands committed, but were hoping that after today\'s announcement well have a whole influx of artists who want to be a part of something this ground breaking. We know there aren\'t any major headlining acts that would tour all summer for nothing, but we\'re confident we can turn some of the genre\'s biggest bands on to what we\'re doing and have them come out to play a date or two. If they\'re in town and want the rush of performing in front of 20,000 frenzied kids, they\'re more than welcome to join us. They can sell their t-shirts, CDs and whatever else they\'ve got. They\'re also welcome to book their own shows in local venues on the day of OZZFEST. Im not stopping them. People have to be creative and think of alternatives.\"
Since 1996, OZZFEST has been a virtual breeding ground for rising bands. The festival has been instrumental in igniting the careers of platinum-selling artists like System of a Down, Disturbed, Linkin Park, Incubus, Slipknot, Queens of the Stoneage and Godsmack. Along with supporting bands on the rise including Avenged Sevenfold, Mudvayne, Lamb of God, Killswitch Engage and Lacuna Coli, among others.
OZZFEST was created to keep this genre of music alive by showcasing new talent,\" states Sharon. \"You better believe were going to keep perpetuating that by hand-picking compelling new bands that are hungry for OZZFEST\'s career-making exposure.\"

Jaco died for our sins so that modern bass players could be free to play more and be heard.
Holy shit! Say what you will, but that's a bold move by Sharon! I'd say it's bullshit the bands aren't getting paid, but everybody will be making money off of merch and it's not like, well, she's getting any from ticket prices. And the fact that she's basically encouraging bands to hold their own shows too... damn, this could turn out pretty sweet.
Frankly, I'm impressed.
Bold indeed but there's not enough details here. My first reactions: Ozzfest.com got hacked but it's also up on livenation.com.... free is never free. I'm guarding my wallet carefully.
Jaco died for our sins so that modern bass players could be free to play more and be heard.
But you're right, I expect some fine print to surface at some point.
I wonder if Sharon is still gonna charge second stage bands $70,000 or whatever it is.
George W. Bush is the son of a swine. I hope that one day his body is identified by the teeth marks on my penis.
...and Metal Sludge.
Pay the baby bands? She's not even going to pay the headlining bands. Read the fine print--
"we have bands committed, but were hoping that after today's announcement well have a whole influx of artists who want to be a part of something this ground breaking. We know there aren't any major headlining acts that would tour all summer for nothing, but we're confident we can turn some of the genre's biggest bands on to what we're doing and have them come out to play a date or two. If they're in town and want the rush of performing in front of 20,000 frenzied kids, they're more than welcome to join us. They can sell their t-shirts, CDs and whatever else they've got. They're also welcome to book their own shows in local venues on the day of OZZFEST. Im not stopping them. People have to be creative and think of alternatives."
In other words, no one has signed on to do this yet, she's not paying anyone, and she's hoping to convince big name bands to play for free by telling them they can sell their shirts and CDs or book another show somewhere else. Good luck with that.
And even if a couple bands do do it for a show or two, the lineup is gonna suck, because all most cities are going to get is a bunch of Joe Nobodys.
All I'm seeing here is Sharon desperately trying to do damage control, because she knows how sick of her shit everyone is and knew people were starting to not give a crap about Ozzfest. She's not trying to save the concert industry...she's just trying to save her own ass.
George W. Bush is the son of a swine. I hope that one day his body is identified by the teeth marks on my penis.
Somebody else also said that this might be Sharon trying to divert anyone's attention away from Heaven & Hell.
George W. Bush is the son of a swine. I hope that one day his body is identified by the teeth marks on my penis.

That said, um, so she's not paying the headlining bands. Well no shit, she's not charging ticket prices either. The bands will be making money the same way she is... merchandise. So in that respect, I don't really have any problem with what she is doing.

Watch for inauguration updates
Hoeven: America must retain its strategic deterrence
Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D., told an audience of Air Force personnel, reservist officers, defense industry professionals and congressional staff that a nuclear triad is the most effective strategy to preserve peace and stability in an increasingly dangerous and nuclearized world, particularly with countries like Iran looking to develop and North Korea seeking to expand nuclear weapons capabilities.
Hoeven said the nuclear triad is the bedrock of our national defense, comprising just 2.8 percent of the entire Defense Department budget. "It is, therefore, the most cost-effective part of our defense," he said. "This is a vitally important fact as we look at the nation's budget situation."
Hoeven delivered his remarks Wednesday at the 2013 Peter Huessy Congressional Breakfast Seminar Series, which is sponsored by the Air Force Association, the National Defense Industrial Association and the Reserve Officer Association. The senator's speech, entitled "The Continuing Case for the Nuclear Triad," focused in detail on the seminar's topic of nuclear deterrence.
Over the course of the Cold War, the U.S. developed what came to be known as the nuclear triad: land-based intercontinental ballistic missiles, sea-launched ballistic missiles and nuclear capable bombers to deter the massive Soviet nuclear arsenal. Although the nation no longer faces such a massive danger, Hoeven told the crowd that an increasingly complicated array of threats requires the U.S. to leverage the advantages that all three legs of the triad provide.
The senator's remarks were prompted by reports that the Obama administration is reviewing proposals that could unilaterally reduce the nation's strategic nuclear weapons by several hundred warheads. Hoeven also cited the Global Zero report, the product of a non-profit organization that seeks to eliminate all U.S. nuclear weapons, beginning with the immediate abolition of U.S. ICBMs, one leg of the nation's nuclear triad. The other two legs of the triad are the nuclear-armed B-52s and nuclear-armed submarines.
Minot Air Force Base is the only dual wing nuclear-capable base. The 5th Bomb Wing has B-52 bombers. The 91st Missile Wing has Minuteman III intercontinental ballistic missiles in underground facilities in the Minot missile field.
"Though (nuclear missiles) have never been fired, their persistent presence and global reach protect the United States by reassuring our allies and deterring our adversaries," Hoeven said.
He pointed to several reasons for preserving the nation's nuclear deterrence capability:
– Nuclear weapons deter war all kinds of war. Nuclear weapons exist to deter nuclear war. Since they have never been deployed against each other in a nuclear exchange, their deterrent value is clear.
– Nuclear weapons deter conventional conflict as well. In the 30 years prior to the advent of nuclear weapons, 100 million people died in conventional conflicts. The lack of direct conflict between major powers since the advent of nuclear weapons is more than mere coincidence.
– Nuclear deterrence allows the United States to forgo chemical and biological weapons stockpiles while still threatening overwhelming force against anyone inclined to attack us with them.
– Our weapons deter wars away from our shores. Our allies depend on the deterrence our weapons provide. Without the U.S. nuclear umbrella, regional conflicts would become more likely; our non-nuclear allies would likely decide to build their own nuclear weapons.
Russia's and China's nuclear weapons modernization programs are significant concerns, as are the dangers posed by smaller but less stable nuclear powers like Pakistan, North Korea and possibly Iran, the senator said. Unfortunately, conflicts between major powers are also still possible, and the triad remains the most economical insurance policy against future nuclear escalation.
– The president should reject unilateral reductions to the size of nuclear forces below the New START treaty, which reduced the number of strategic nuclear missile launchers by half. Congress should confront the administration if it attempts to implement such reductions.
– We should reject further legal constraints on our deterrent forces. The Obama administration should not reengage Russia on nuclear issues while New START is being implemented.
– We must maximize the deterrent potential of the forces we will retain under New START. We face a 2017 deadline, and we should not make the required reductions until we have to do so. And those reductions should be achieved in ways that preserve balance and do not hamstring any one leg of the triad.
– We must sustain budgets for the nuclear enterprise and the triad. The administration, as part of the negotiations over New START, agreed to prioritize funding to sustain our warheads and modernize the triad's delivery systems.
The AFA's Peter Hussey Series began in 1983 and routinely features top congressional leaders, senior administration officials and outside experts as guest lectures who speak on timely issues related to strategic nuclear matters, homeland security and missile defense policy and deployment.

I was a bit surprised by McPhee too but honestly what Simon said was true, any one of them could have made the bottom three based on Tuesdays performances.
I enjoyed Taylor's restraint when performing this time but prefer his usual enthusiasm.
Bucky must have alot of friends huh? He may get by another week with country being the theme for next week. Still think him and Pickler should sing a duet.
Anyone else sick of Chris? He must be confused though since first Simon told him he was the only idol to not compromise and that was a good thing and now Simon tells him not to do the same thing over and over and do something different.

China Watch: Party Confab Aside, Expect More of the Same
As the party got rolling, I came to Hong Kong, the world's center for fast visas to mainland China. I was rejected twice in one day for a tourist visa because my aging U.S. passport reveals that I was once a journalist stationed in Beijing.
It used to be that a China ex-scribe (read ex-con) could get a China tourist visa in Hong Kong just with a letter promising not to gather news up north. My journalist friends in Asia say my timing couldn't have been less timely.
That foreign journalists can't even get close to the Party's party may be the biggest change since the same group of leaders met in 2007.
Looking at the other announcements made at the 18th National Congress of the Communist Party of China, it's hard to get too excited for your portfolio. Just feel assured that positions taken to date on China don't need too much adjustment.
In particular, I was watching for a policy announcement on Chinese yuan exchange rates. That would have helped exports from China but hurt large, listed American companies that ship to China and to stores in the United States. But no new policy.
Items Resolved
Studying the announcements one by one, as reported by China's uber-official Xinhua News Agency (and rebroadcast on TV for a stoic Hong Kong), we the Party shalt:
1. Increase the income of urban and rural residents, improve the social security system, further narrow urban-rural and regional disparities and address unfairness in income distribution.
How about parking a Chinese citizen on Jupiter, too? Yet as heavenly as this edict sounds, it covers no new territory.
The government has talked for a decade about closing a vast, stubborn urban-rural income divide and offering a safety net for those still at the butt end of it. The unfairness issue still looms large as migrant workers living on a few bucks a day in Shanghai nearly get run down by fellow countrymen in Audis headed home to their multi-million-yuan townhouses.
If the migrants grow too resentful, they riot and the Party looks stupid until enough cops show up and send everyone home to their shacks.
Chinese government efforts, plus many more individual ones, have reduced poverty from 94.22 million people to 26.88 million in the decade ending in 2010, according to an impossibly rosy Xinhua statistic. Still, the trend is qualitatively correct and will go on, meaning people in the countryside live eight instead of 18 people to an outhouse while the urban dude can still upgrade his Audi. Some impact on consumption (see item No. 2 below).

Mrs. Flinger: A work in progress
UPDATE TO Mrs. Flinger October 16, 2015
Because the Universe has a wicked sense of humor, after this delcaration, my blog threw up all over my last upgrade.
So I'm starting over using Craft. Turning 40 and kid entering Jr High next year, sometimes it's just time for a change. These archives will still exist in the way the last child goes off to college and their room is the same for 20 years, but it's just time to move forward.
I am. Jul 25, 2009
I picture Jesus sitting at his laptop alone in his hotel room in Jerusalem. He's kicked off his sandals (marketed simply as "Jesus Sandals") and stretches as he launches notepad. He has an inspired word and he begins to type. He starts: "I am Jesus. I want to share with you some ideas I have. Simple, easy ideas that will bring us all together. I want to give us community and peace and harmony. This world is a fucked up one, but I believe we are each able to contribute to the happiness of others. Cut the bullshit. Let's love."
He eyes his writing wondering if it's too harsh. He hits the backspace key 413 times Click Click Click Click Click… He stops short and leaves the "I am."
I am.
He ponders there for a while unaware of the consequences of this action, the impact it will have on his life and those for two thousand years and beyond. He wavers for a moment and stands to grab a drink, his favorite, wine.
Pausing long enough to fill another glass, he hits publish with those two words. "I am."
It's powerful and people comment.
There is hate-mail.
There is blasphemy.
There is confusion.
He steps up to defend his writing wanting to express the rest of the sentence unable to complete his thought. His community is angry, he has failed as his attempt to connect, he is hurt and saddened by the response.
It was supposed to be different.
This is how I picture each entry before I hit publish. I waver at times, wondering if anything truly meaningful will be well received. At times I hover above caring and calling the bullshit. Sometimes I'm not sure what the bullshit is. I hit delete 413 times unable to find the words to bond and not divide.
I stop short and hit publish all too often.
We are Jesus.
You are Jesus.
I am Jesus.
I am.
Five Reasons You Will Not Be A Dork At BlogHer (so stop worrying about it) Jul 15, 2009
Last year I popped my BlogHer cherry. I went with my my close friends and we were there for each other to share shoes and do makeup and hair and in general ease the fears of our own insecurities. Or rather, they eased mine. (They don't know a lot of bloggers so it was, "Hu, who's that again? Who's Isabell?" and I whisper "She's kinda a big deal")
Because I am… well… me, I do things in a Flinger sort of a way. Let's recap the top five Flingerisms from BlogHer 08 and why you can rest assured you will do better, shall we?
1. I randomly hug pregnant women when pregnant. Two different occasions I found myself hugging (randomly) Kristin Chase and Amalah. Twice. I threw myself at them and their lovely pregnant bellies and they were so kind and so sweet they STILL TALKED TO ME later. Those ladies? Got class.
2. I met Maggie Mason and I had no idea. This is pretty much how that rolled out:
me: Hi! I'm Mrs. Flinger! Nice to meet you. :: pauses for recognition because EVERYONE KNOWS MISSUS FLINGER. (cough)
her: Hi! Welcome to the party. I'm Maggie Mason.
me: :: chokes on wine :: MAGGIE MASON!? AS IN THE MAGGIE. MASON. (realizes am using outside voice and gets awkward.)
her: Yes, that's me. :: shakes hand :: Make yourself at home. (Thinks to herself, "freak".)
3. Kelley noticed, and called me out, on my dirty feet. I don't like shoes, ok? So sitting there in the keynote I hear, "Missus FLINGER! Look at YOUR FEET WOMAN!" and I see the lovely Kelley pointing at my retched feed. It was funny. In a "guess you had to be there" kind of a way. As in….. later….
4. I licked Isabell Kalman and it looked like bad porn.
Enough said.
(Really, SHE ASKED ME TO. I swear, this was not a rape-licking)
5. I spilled Teh Wine at Guy's house. On my swag. And washed my feet in his pool.
Dear god of holy hell that's mortifying. GUY'S HOUSE. You know him, right? (duh)
——————Other Highlights—————
1. Meeting Aimmeeeee (I give her shit about her spelling) and having her blog the following conversation:
Greeblemonkey: Oh look! There's paella!
Flinger: I don't think I read her!
2. Having some freak show hit on Jenny and me and getting him kicked out of the hotel.
3. Making Cat Schwartz say she knows who we are on video:
And, really, there are too many more to admit here. Just, look, you'll be fine. I promise. Hang out with me and you'll look like a freakin' STAR.
Trust me.
The Ugly Jul 13, 2009
Sometimes I have The Ugly. The Ugly tends to show up when I'm emotional, irrational, bloated, tired or overwhelmed. The Ugly can start from anything: a facebook update, a tweet, a post, a real life jab.
The Ugly? It sucks.
It sucks out my happiness, my joy, my security, my stamina, my confidence. It reduces a good, healthy, happy 33 year old woman in to a 15 year old girl with zits and generic jeans.
The Ugly, it is bad.
I often recognize The Ugly as just what it is: Ugly. I see it from my place of confidence and can see through its irrationality. But when The Ugly strikes, its loud voice takes over my own and pushes all the confidence down in to one big pile of jealousy.
The Ugly can wear anything but it usually shows up in sweats and makes itself at home.
The Ugly can be a bitch and take up all the sanity in a room.
The Ugly can bring a pack of beer and drink it all.
The Ugly often has no patience.
The Ugly piles on. On the todo list, on the "things you fuck up" list, on the "people you've let down" list.
I am not the sum of The Ugly, but rather someone who falls in to its trap. Most days I can shake off The Ugly.
Today, I'm arm wrestling with it. And I'm hoping I win.
P.S. I wrote this last week and today saw Amanda wrote about competitive people and it hit me: That? Is. The. Ugly. It's the competition where there is none. It's the jealousy of losing when there is no race. So.. just.. wow. And thank you.
Facebook, you're forgiven Jul 10, 2009
#The College Angsty Years#Family Life
Whatever issues I've had with facebook, and I have, are gone today. Suddenly today I saw the most amazing use of facebook and I'm thankful over and over for it.
I've mentioned my friend Amy who's breast cancer took us from her family and friends entirely too early. It hit home too close and too hard for me. It was hard.
I was unable to make it to her memorial here in town. I was sad for that fact but I forgave myself because I knew I would've lost my shit if I'd gone. I mean The Big Ugly Crying.
But the community that Amy created around herself and those who knew her is a wonderful one and I did miss out on celebrating Amy's life with them. Until today.
Today I went to her Facebook page just because I was thinking of her. Today I realized a lot of people are going to Amy's facebook page because they are thinking of her. They are talking to her, leaving her notes, telling her about her children and about daily life and sharing stories of love and comfort and remembering.
Today I hugged my daughter and son a bit tighter because of facebook.
Today I remembered a great friend because of facebook.
Today I realized how we touch people in the world beyond what we even comprehend because of facebook.
I hope it's ok that I share this story, it's the one that touched me the most from her page. A friend shares, "Your baby girls misses you today Amy. She was tearfully talking about you today. But don't worry, R came up to her and said "Don't be sad, your mama will always be in your heart." and then gave Maddy a big hug and kiss. After R was done Maddy told her she needed another hug and she laid her head on R's shoulder and cried a little bit more. R patted her and stroked her cheek and then they sat together holding hands for a while. Your daughter is such a wonderful little girl. And I love to see our girls supporting eachother when they need it. And don't worry, I cuddled both of them until the smiles returned."
Today I forgave facebook. Because I needed to read this. As do so many more.
*I changed the little girl's name because I don't know how they would feel about publishing it. I know Amy has written openly here on my blog about Maddy so I feel ok with leaving her name as is. I hope this is ok with those involved. Much love to everyone who is.
Good Luck With That Jul 09, 2009
I walked by a glowing extremely pregnant woman. Her friend handed her a bag with some baby booty in it. I chuckled. I couldn't help myself. I CHUCKLED. They looked up at me and I recovered, smiled, and continued on my way.
In my head I was picturing what the card would say. I chuckled again. It could be any of the following:
Outside: Congrats New Momma! You're going to spend the next five years trying to get your pre-baby body back!
Inside: Good luck with that.
Outside: Congrats On Your New Bundle! They don't sleep through the night until they're teenagers.
Inside: Good luck with that.
Outside: Dear New Daddy! You thought you had Blue Balls in High School?
Inside: HAHAHAHAHA. Good luck with that.
Outside: To the happy new parent: Write down the last day you had sex.
Inside: So you remember it in three years when your brain is sleep deprived. Good luck with that!
Oh, comeon. Add your own! It's fun!
And only mildly depressing….
I love you, even if you are two Jul 08, 2009
It's 2:45AM. I've been asleep for two hours. I hear the familiar call from a tiny man, "Mommy! Mommy!' I'm in his room before I open my eyes.
I get him milk, his Thomas Trains and put him back to bed.
It's 6:00 AM and I hear the familiar call from a tiny man, "Mommy! Mommy!" I'm in his room before I open my eyes.
I pick him up hoping to give his sister a few more minutes of sleep. He asks for milk. I turn to get him some.
He starts screaming.
It's 7:00 AM and he's still screaming.
Finally, having had enough of this, I coax him in to eating a banana and watching LIttle Einstines so I can get the family ready to go.
It's 7:45 AM and the family is ready to leave. I get the tiny man's shoes and he yells, "TRY! TRY!" which is short for "I'll do it you mother fucker!"
I let him try.
He screams out of frustration, "HELP! HELP" which is short for "why are you just standing there watching me you mother fucker!"
I coax him down the stairs. I attempt to take his hand. "TRY! TRY!" which is short for "fuck off."
I walk a few stairs down and he yells, "UP! UP!" which is short for "why are you leaving me here, hold me now mother fucker!"
It's 8:20 and I'm dropping him off at day care. I have a full schedule of deadlines, meetings, phone calls and deadlines. I turn to leave. He lunges at my legs. I pick him up, kiss him, whisper in his ear, "I love you even if you are two."
I walk away missing him. Even if he's two.
The Road to Mid-life Jul 07, 2009
#The High School Years#Family Life
I was thinking about rebelling. Not in a present tense, but rather in a pattern-of-maturity. A "hindsight" if you will. "Enlightened Rebellion" even.
I realized my husband and I were together in High School when most people go through their rebellion. Our friends may have skipped class or chugged beer or started smoking but we were both first-borns too busy pleasing teachers and parents and each other. We were fairly straight laced aside from a few back-seat make-out sessions. We were home on time, we never did drugs and we never got pregnant. We stayed out of trouble and stayed in school.
We were model teenagers in a sense.
We broke up, went though our own "self discovery" a phase that got us to different colleges, new friends, new places. We tried on new people and jobs and lives, all while staying out of trouble and living as we were expected: Strong contributing citizens of society.
Then I turned 25.
I went in to what I can only call as "my six-month rebellion" where I stayed out for entire weekends at airplane hangers where friends would sky-dive and smoke pot at night, drink too much, and go to McDonalds for fries. It was stupid at best, dangerous at its worst. I did my first tandem skydive as a giant middle finger to my old life. I was fresh and new and starting over as a new person.
I'm so incredibly glad I did.
My husband, however, continued to work and be amazing. He continued to pursue a career, a path, a plan. He never did rebel. He never washed his hair free of expectation. He never jumped out of his proverbial airplane.
I contemplated this fact earlier today. I thought of all our friends who did rebel, who went through their time maturing to flip The Man the giant middle finger and face their new spirit and their new selves only to find peace and comfort in settling down later.
I wondered if there was in inverse relationship between rebellion and mid-life crisis.
I don't see him heading off with another family or even a sports car. I don't see him jumping out of an airplane or smoking pot when I'm at BlogHer. But I wonder: I wonder what life's turns require rebellion and which require steadfast boring ticky-tacky houses with manicured yards or the lack-there-of. I wonder if nearing forty (In seven years, but still! It's coming!) will be harder on those who never rebelled at fourteen. And I wonder how to cultivate this in our family, for our children as they mature in to their own people and in us as we hit our mid-lives.
How do we maintain our sanity in a suburb of Seattle in a townhouse we paid too much for and work too hard to pay off?
I wonder.
Did you rebel? Did you come back? Did you settle down? And when are you buying your motorcycle to flip off The Man?
The Fine Print Jul 02, 2009
I tend to say yes a lot. This is great for my husband, kids and my clients and horrid for my knees and my canker sores. I say yes before reading the small print. I say yes before asking a ton of questions. I just, you know, like to say yes.
"You want to move to Seattle?" "YES!"
"You think we should by a townhouse that will depreciate in value for the first time in a market since 1984?" "YES!"
"You wanna walk a half marathon with me?" "YES!"
This last one, oy, it's the biggie.
So without really training, without so much as printing out a map, I joined my friend for a 13.1 mile walk through Seattle. I joined 24,999 other people who were just as crazy (or more so, some of them were doing the full marathon) and we forged together like cattle to the butchers. At least, that's how I felt.
The thing about doing something so insane is that somewhere in the process, you gain your sanity. During miles 1-3, I pretty much woke up slowly, walking in a haze and meandering between bodies. During miles 4-9 I poured my heart out to Paige telling her everything, in detail, that had been going on for the last, oh, two years? And then around mile 10 we both got it. IT. We realized several things:
1. This is fucking hard.
2. We are going to finish.
3. Leslie's knees are older than her heart.
4. Much. Older.
5. Mile ten is the longest motherfucking mile in any race ever.
6. There is no mile 11. It's a cosmic joke.
7. We like wine.
8. We will never do this again.
9. We're proud of ourselves.
10. We can do it.
Then we hit mile 11 and the gig seemed to be up. My knees gave out and my heart monitor yelled at me for going to slow. Years of running and being active have finally brought me, literally, to my knees. I can no long run, jump, or apparently, walk over 9 miles.
Then fat Eric passed me.
It's a humiliating experience to watch your body age. To see your boobs sag. To know your waist used to go IN and not OUT. To know you celebrate with a burger or chocolate more often than there are reasons to celebrate.
It's humbling.
Fat Eric was sort of my inner self. He sort of rose up, having started at the same time we did, a large, powerful 350 pound man. He walked the entire way. He had his name in large print on his shirt. "E-R-I-C" and people cheered, "GOOD JOB ERIC! WAY TO GO ERIC! YOU CAN DO IT!"
And he did. He did it. By god, he did it.
It was about this time that I realized several things: I am not who I used to be. Size does not matter. Fitness is a daily process, not a one time race. And.. most importantly, it's time I push myself in ways my body can work without breaking down.
I think I'll try swimming.
Somewhere around mile 10 I realized that sometimes it's ok to take a minute and consider what you're saying YES to. Maybe it's OK to read the fine print, to consider your options, to check your calendar. Maybe it's ok to say NO sometimes.
But not to this. Not to this. I would've said yes and been just as proud as I am today. Because we did it.
Paige and I. Together.
(Two of our college friends ran the half so we got our picture of them at the finish, which was really the only time we saw them. Fasties.)
(More photos here.)
(The top picture is our favorite picture of us. It's from 1997. God we're young.)
Ambition Jun 30, 2009
Similar to how dogs smell fear, my youngest child smells ambition. I had a plan, an actual true productive plan, for today. There are massive deadlines hanging over my head, there are bills and invoicing to do, and the regular life maintenance and goals I set daily to work out and eat well. I had it all worked out and it even included swimming in my heart-rate zone for 30 minutes and taking the oldest on time to go to her school field trip.
I had a plan.
As happens every single fucking time I have a plan, my son woke up at 3:30AM and literally yelled this half awake sleep scream for 45 minutes. He sat in my bed staring at me.
AHHHHH. WAAAHHHHHHHH. :: hiccup :: WAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111!!!!!!!!
At 4:54 when I finally put him back in to bed I knew it was over. In another hour my alarm would go off and I knew I'd hit snooze. I knew my ambition was snuffed out.
Not unlike a dog, my son smells ambition. And he always wins.
Gifted and Talented Jun 24, 2009
I have, what is commonly referred to as, "children who are too smart for their own good." AKA: Gin and Tonic. Or, rather, GIfted and Talented. (Anyone else automatically have visions of limey goodness with the accronym GnT?)
My children have both been very successful academically. That is to say, they have ROCKED the preschool scene over and over. Colors? They got'em! Letter? All 26! Numbers? Counting to 12! Conceptually adding and subtracting before age four!
Shitting themselves? STILL!
I've only recently realized the potential my two children hold. Both their teachers are amazed and flabbergasted by their intelligence. "Oh, that's going to be an issue later" they say. And I know they're right because my daughter is reading at age 4 and a half (remember the "and a half" people, it's VERY important) and will go to a private kindergarten in the fall to skirt the date cutoff since she's an October baby. But after this year, there is still a chance she will have to repeat Kindergarten, not based on her intelligence, academics, or readiness socially, but strictly because the schools are full.
There will be children in Kindergarten learning their letters while my daughter is adding and subtracting and counting by twos. Kids will be entering the system because they are "of age" while my daughter is being held back in a system that is failing her miserably.
I've frequently heard that "everyone catches up by fourth grade anyway" and it finally hit me: It's not that all the other children grow and mature and learn, it's that we hold the ones too far ahead back and the ones too far behind drop further back a grade. Perhaps, yes, it does even out by fourth grade, but I'm starting to believe this isn't the best path for my children. I'm not ready to comitt to homeschooling as of yet, because I understand my childrens' own needs for a space we don't have and other children and teacher's I am not. But the argument that "we did fine in a public school" isn't going to slice it for me. We did go through The System. The Same System that is being "reformed" to "leave no child behind and let no child too far ahead." I know teachers work hard and do an amazing job. I don't envy them. I just don't think The System has the support needed for anyone different. Anyone unique. Anyone not plastic.
Maybe I'm wrong. But it looks like I'll be working with some pretty amazing kids for the rest of their lives. I'm grateful for this, blown away by their eagerness to learn, and humbled by my inability to keep up.
I sometimes fail as a mom, but in this one tiny area, I'm going to see if I can't be what they need and find the resources to help them succeed. It's the best I can do. I expect the best out of them.

The Journal adds ways to read the newspaper
NEW ULM – Since 1898, The Journal has brought valuable news and information to people in the New Ulm and Brown County area.
The Journal, published as a weekly paper (The Brown County Journal) from 1898 to 1937, and a daily ever since, has been an integral part of life of the community for generations, delivering news from your neighborhood and beyond directly to your door. But as technology changes, so do newspapers.
More than a decade ago, The Journal began delivering an Internet version to online readers. In 2012 we also added a mobile version to allow readers to access the newspaper on devices such as iPhones.
Neither our website nor mobile app is an exact copy of the printed version, however. Beginning on July 16, you will be able to read the entire newspaper, online, every day. Every page, every story, every advertisement, now will be available to our subscribers electronically regardless of where you are located. The electronic version of The Journal will download to your smartphone, tablet or computer in a few seconds and allow you to read the newspaper in the same manner you would if you were holding the printed edition in your hands.
Subscribers also will be able to enjoy the same website they have used for years, which includes an archive of thousands of stories.
After the electronic edition is launched you will only need to answer a few questions to link your digital account to your subscription information. After that you will be able to access both the website and electronic version of the newspaper.
Newspapers, including The Journal, continue to evolve to meet the information needs of a changing base of readers. Reading the news electronically is a valuable part of many people's day. With the addition of a digital version of the newspaper, that value is intensified.
"The addition of an electronic edition as well as a subscription-based website will allow The Journal to serve our readers in whatever format they are most comfortable reading the newspaper," said Publisher Bruce Fenske. "It's an exciting time to be in the publishing industry."
The digital edition can be downloaded to a computer as well as a tablet or smartphone via an easy-to-download app. The quick download will feature every story, photo, advertisement and listing found in the print edition and will become available at the same time the newspaper is being printed. It's available for "home delivery" no matter where the reader is located.
In addition to the digital version of the newspaper, subscribers also will be able to access The Journal's website, www.nujournal.com at no additional cost. Users of our current smartphone apps will be able to access a limited version of the top stories from the website.
Readers who do not wish to get the printed version of the newspaper can opt for a digital-only subscription to deliver both the web and digital edition to them for one cost.
Non-subscribers will be able to view the headlines on the site and be able to view some categories such as obituaries and customer service information.

Hi Folks,
As discussed on previous threads, have started this one so we can organise two/three and sometimes four conversations into one discussion thread.
And thanks for following us over the past few months... Really appriciate it.
Hi Emmy: Feeling good now thanks. You? The medoc: not a chance, but off to a lodge type place for a holiday this year instead. Oh well, Brighton is on for next year instead.
I'm in to say hello. Big run this afternoon at 4pm as busy weekend on. Need to do 21 eeekkkkk getting twitchy........
All men are of the same mould, but some are mouldier than others.
Yea, gathering the gang again! 'Ello Sleepy
Good luck on the run tonight MCS.
short for Au Revoir i presume?
There's a time and place for grammar and spelling pedantry - this is not it! We know what you mean Bo so don't worry!
Go mcs Go! Happy daydreaming in the latter stages - hope you've got some goodies for your pocket?
I'm a happy bunny as I've just had a new kit delivery - mine's all in the wash and unlikely to dry in the rain but thanks to postie - Cinderella shall go to the parkrun! Yay!
Off to do my second treadmill sesh now - decided to split today into 2 to keep boredom at bay. I shall save my drenchings for tomorrow and Sunday by which point I will have dry kit (not that there's much point as it'll just get wet again LOL)
Happy Friday everyone ...
Hiya Bo Duke - that's a shame - next year? I'm doing well - completed London and now have a colleague trying to convince me to run Paris - would you recommend it?
How has your recovery been? Are you still out running?
Hello everyone, this is a great idea BD, I shall hang around here now if that's OK. I think the speling error is in keeping and glad it's there .
Scuba Trooper, yep I would recomend, the course is flat, apart fromt he dreaded under passes, of which there are 4 in quick succesion at about miles 16-17 (correct me if I'm wrong as I was lacking faculties by that stage), the wind made it trickier, however I ran a 10min PB so it suggests it's not slow.
Just completed my first hardish session since Paris 12 x 19sec strides followed by 500m at 5km pace...there is some pace left but it was tricky. Rain was fun felt like I was a duck at times especially as the wey has burst it's banks so running on the flood plain is out...is it treadmills now or are others braving the rain too?

"The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy. "
Understanding our aircraft guide
Maintained properly, upgraded when required to comply with changing regulations, modified with more capable avionics in the cockpit, repainted outside, refurbished inside, and sometimes even equipped with newer, more powerful, energy-efficient engines, a business aircraft can fly safely and effectively for 30 or 40 years or more. Meanwhile, aircraft manufacturers constantly refine and improve their current production models and create new examples to better serve their customers. So it is not hard to understand why there are literally hundreds of business aircraft models flying today.
Ideally, we would have liked to include all of them in this first BJT Buyers' Guide. It did not take us long, however, to determine that we would reach the point of diminishing returns with many older models as their numbers decrease and interest in them for regular business and private flying wanes. Of course, like antique warbirds, many of these really old business aircraft will continue to fly for decades to come and maybe even increase in value. But few of them will be of much interest to buyers looking for aircraft for day-to-day transportation.
Like new cars driven off a dealer's lot, new airplanes technically become used (or preowned) as soon as the first owner departs from the manufacturer's delivery center. For various reasons, however, 10 years after an aircraft's production date is generally considered the milestone separating "newer" used business aircraft from "older" ones. So in deciding which aircraft to cover, we thought to go a bit past this 10-year mark and provide information on all business airplanes and helicopters manufactured since 1993. This meant that our listing could include models manufactured well before that year, as long as they were still produced at least as recently as 1993. We figured this would be fine since the youngest of these models would be 15 years old and still of interest to many users. If a model were manufactured for many years before 1993, this would be OK, too, because a long production run is indicative of a successful aircraft. In addition, we added the new models that we could reasonably expect would be certified and go into production this year.
We then asked our friend David Wyndham at Conklin & de Decker, an aviation information and consulting firm, how many aircraft models fit our criteria. "More than 200" was his surprising reply. That would be still too many for this guide, we decided. Luckily, many models had relatively minor differences among them. So with some judicious decision-making, we culled the group to the approximately 100 jet, turboprop and helicopter models we feel are the most popular today.
Many thanks to David and others at Conklin & de Decker who provided the data for all the aircraft on the following pages.

The Danish Disney publisher Gutenberghus/Egmont was not interested in his illustrations, but they did ask him to draw Disney characters. Flemming has done this ever since. At first he wrote stories for Egmont's Disney publications, but since 1992, he started drawing them himself. He has created Disney comics in the best Italian Disney style for Jumbo books.

As we mark Social Media Week, we're excited to announce that you can follow the State Department on Google+. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton has made 21st Century Statecraft -- the leveraging of technology and innovation in support of our diplomatic goals -- a key part of our foreign policy agenda. Certainly, a key way in which we are executing on Secretary Clinton's leadership of 21st Century Statecraft is through the use of social media in today's interconnected world. Social media offers a powerful way for the State Department to better inform, understand, and engage with the American people and publics around the world on our foreign policy and development goals.
That's why you can find the State Department on Facebook, Flickr, Tumblr, Twitter, YouTube, and now Google+. On our Google+ page, you'll find videos and photographs of the Secretary of State representing the United States abroad and meeting with foreign leaders here in Washington. You'll also find some of our fact sheets and all the latest news from our DipNote blog. And, of course, you'll have the opportunity to participate through State Department Hangouts.
In the meantime, we hope you add the State Department to your circles, join the discussion, and share the Department's content you find most interesting with your networks. We look forward to hearing from you.

The CamelBak® Podium® Bottle incorporates Jet Valve™, a revolutionary self-sealing valve into a taste-free bottle with a high flow rate.
CamelBak is the official hydration sponsor for the pro cycling team Garmin-Sharp-Barracuda. The team uses Podium bottles in training and during races.
Learn More >
Innovative, self-sealing Jet Valve™ eliminates splatters and spills.
Lightweight, easy-squeeze bottle delivers the right flow to quench your thirst
100% Free of BPA and BPS
TruTaste™ polypropylene with HydroGuard™ lets you taste your water, not your bottle.
Positive lockout for leakproof transport
Wide-mouth opening is easy to fill with ice and water and a breeze to clean
CamelBak® Got Your Bak™ Guarantee: If we built it, we'll Bak it™ with our lifetime guarantee.
The Podium® Bottle is dishwasher-safe and easy to clean. Remove the cap assembly, making sure the Jet Valve™ lockout is open, and place it with the bottle on the top rack of your dishwasher. For best results, we recommend avoiding high-heat settings such as 'sanitary clean' or 'heat boost' which may distort plastic components. We don't recommend forcing a brush or other cleaning tool through the Jet Valve cross-slit (i.e. where you drink).
Please note that the Podium caps are primarily composed of two components: the Jet Valve and the silicone nozzle. To wash the cap by hand, pull off the silicone nozzle and wipe cap with a soapy sponge. Rinse thoroughly and snap the nozzle back on. Do not disassemble small parts of the cap JetValve. Disassembly of the plastic cap could lead to leaks or product malfunction.
I'm used to the CamelBak bite valve, where's the bite valve on this bottle?
The Podium® Bottle and Podium® Chill are designed specifically for cycling, offering optimum, hassle-free hydration via an innovative feature called the CamelBak® Jet Valve™. Made from medical-grade silicone and designed to flow automatically when you squeeze the bottle, the Jet Valve vents pressure and seals shut automatically when you're done. It's simple—no biting involved. So say goodbye to yanking your old pop-top bottle open with your teeth and bashing it shut on your hip, as well as bothersome drips and leaks.
OK, I get the Jet Valve™, but do I still need to suck on the nozzle to drink?
It's your choice. You can either put the nozzle between your lips, or just open your mouth and squirt. The Jet Valve™ opens automatically when you squeeze, then shuts automatically to prevent drips. Since there's no pop-top valve to shut off, you can guide the nozzle into helmet vents easily without accidentally shutting off the valve.
Explain the lockout valve under the nozzle. Do I need to shut this off every time I drink?
No. The Jet Valve™ keeps your bottle sealed and drip-free during use. The rotary valve under the nozzle on the cap is actually a secondary lock-out. We recommend using the lock-out exclusively for storage, i.e. if you're storing the bottle in a bike bag or trunk. Leave it open during rides or for easy access when you're drinking from the bottle. You can also lock out your backup bottle on the bike to prevent any unexpected squirts from potholes or other big hits.
How does the Podium® Chill Bottle insulation work?
The Podium® Chill features a unique, low-profile double-wall construction with a layer of airtight, insulating foam. Compared to other insulated bike bottles that can be stiff or bulky (or both), the Chill bottle is lightweight, easy to squeeze, and fits a lot of water volume into a small space. That's why we call it, "Cool without Compromise."
Can I put sports drinks in the Podium® Bottle or Podium® Chill Bottle?
Absolutely. However, make sure to clean the bottle thoroughly after each use.
Can I use carbonated beverages?
Yes. The Jet Valve™ automatically vents pressure so that "fizz" will not cause pressure buildup. Please note, if the lockout is shut off, there will be pressure buildup, which isn't dangerous, but could lead to unexpected spray when opened.
Can I put hot liquids in it?
Warm beverages are OK in the Podium® provided they're not hot enough to burn your mouth. Extra-hot or boiling water can distort the plastic in the bottle but warm tea is a nice treat for a cold ride.
Is the bottle microwave-safe?
We don't recommend heating the bottle in a microwave since contents can heat unevenly. We only recommend putting warm liquids in the Podium® and Podium® Chill Bottles.
Can I freeze the bottle?
You can freeze the bottle, but before you do, make sure that the bottle is only partially full. We recommend only 3/4 full to allow for expansion of the water as it freezes to ice. Place the bottle in the freezer right side up. Remember: you won't be able to drink until components have thawed.

The Jet Valve has no cap and has a hole at the top. The bottle sits in a cage on my down tube. I ride on trails with lots of dirt and there is nothing to stop the dirt from getting inside the valve. Seriously poor design for MTB.

I've had this water bottle for about 24 hours, I bought it because I had used a friend's on a hike once and liked the squeeze mechanism (my hands are wimpy, so I need to squeeze with both of them). I put the bottle into my gym bag this morning (full of water, with the cap tightened way down, and in the locked position). By the time I got to the gym, about half the water had escaped the bottle and ended up all over my clothes. So, like your tray table, I'd recommend leaving this in the upright and locked position (so, only useful when you're actually on your bike and the bottle is in its holder).

Silver Prints - Photography by Tim Volk
Date: 02.04.2013 - 05.10.2013
Time: 9:00 am - 5:00 pm
Location: Founders Hall Art Gallery
Meet Tim Volk at his exhibit's
Opening Reception,
Friday, February 8, 2013 - 5:30 to 8:00 pm
Admission Free
In the vast ocean of images snapped daily, only a tiny trickle are still being produced with film and traditional printing paper. All the prints in this show were made by the slow and craft-oriented process of silver printing.
Time and labor inevitably dominate the comparison between digital and "analog" photography. My images are begun when the light strikes the film but it cannot be seen until some time later when the film is developed into a negative and still later enlarged onto silver sensitized paper in a darkroom, developed in chemicals, washed and dried. All this trouble used to be the only way to make a photographic image but it is now a choice. The payoff is the silver print itself and the subtle differences, the depth and richness of silver printing, more than compensate for the difficulty. Limited to a palette of lustrous grays, the silver image is both more abstract and more still than its counterparts, limitations that can often be strengths.
Artist's Statement:
A camera should also be more than a neutral or mechanical transcriber of optical effects, it should be an integral part of the overall intention. The cameras which captured these images I either hand-made or extensively modified for my purposes. They range from the very large (11x14 inch film size) to medium format film (2_ inch square) and from extremely sharp to very soft. The images reflect these different qualities and approach to the subject.

yeah like a good yunnan gold tea. Something with that roasted sugar cane vibe going on.
Honestly though you should just go cold turkey. Its like eating milk chocolate all your life and someone gives you a piece of high end dark chocolate and it taste like bitter ear wax. However the more you eat the more you see the complexities and sweetness there in. Its the same with tea all those flavours are there for the taking but you need to teach the palate.
When I started oolongs and white and greens just tasted like hay water to me but as time went on I got my tea goggles on and was able to see/taste the profile better and better.
Putting sweetners in my teas now would just destroy so much of that profile I love.
I still drink assam with milk and real sugar though...but that's like a whole separate drink to me

Prepare the sandwiches: Preheat the broiler. Tear the hot dog buns in half lengthwise at the seam, then cut each side in half crosswise to make 8 pieces; flatten slightly with your hand. Arrange the bun pieces on a baking sheet and broil until golden, about 2 minutes per side.
Cook the bacon in a skillet over medium heat, turning, until crisp, 5 to 10 minutes. Drain on paper towels, then break each piece in half.
Split each hot dog lengthwise, about three-quarters of the way through, and open like a book. Melt the butter in a nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place the hot dogs cut-side down in the skillet; cook until browned and heated through, about 2 minutes per side. Cut each hot dog in half crosswise.
Sprinkle the tomatoes with celery salt. For each sandwich, spread 1 bun piece with some of the dressing and top with a piece of bacon, tomato, red onion, cucumber, lettuce and a hot dog; drizzle with more dressing and top with another bun piece. Repeat to make 2 more layers, ending with a bun piece. Secure the sandwich with a long skewer; top with a dill pickle slice and a pickled pepper.
