Tahoe Fly Fishing
I figured since I was on a roll I would give you the hold what I did for my summer vacation thing. I took a trip to tato and yosmite this summer toward the end of july. Both where great fishing.
Tahoe: Great fishing. Fished the carson river and sever small streams. most fish where 10-15 inches in the west carson river which is a mid sized stream. I alos caught tons of 8-12 inchers in the smaller streams in the tahoe national forest which where great fun on the two weight. Almost all caddis patterns and small black nymphs. I wanted to fish the trunkee but it was running hight and is really only good in the spring or fall. The best was a day I paided to get on a private section of the walker river. It was awesome. Caught a number of fish in the 18-20 inch range. Aparently they only allow 4 rods a day, 3 days a week there. It was great. it wasn't much more then a creek, and every deep bend had a big fish in it. It was mostly all nymphing but I caught a few on a small grasshoper. It was great. I stayed in S. Tahoe and there where a number of really great flyshops there. Do yourself a favor it you go hit the buffet at harrers. Steak and lobster in it was amazing Yosmite: Didn't catch a fish over 10 inches but it was great. It was one of the most beutiful places I have ever been. I stayed in the wawona area and fished the river behide our cabin, I forget the name of it. It was great 7-10 inchers all on dries, at least a dozen fish an hour. A e/c cutter caddis in olive killed them. The water was so clear there I could't believe it. There was this one little section where then river went from 20ft wide and 1 foot deep to about 8 foot deep and 10 foot wide for about 20 yards I would foat a dry throught there and watch the fish swim up from the bottom and take the dry. Once and awhile two fish would go for it at the same time. I would watch them race for it. really cool. I also fished the river that runs throught yosemite valley, I caught a14 incher out of there but the rest where under 10 inches. It was hard going though. It was more a series of water falls and pools then a river but it was really great, tons a yellow stoneflies size 8. Last edited by NateSmith; 01-23-2004 at 05:11 PM. |

BERSIH 3.0: Voice of Malaysians
119 comments :
Very nice set of photos. Amazing. Thank you Robin for featuring me in the album. Thanks again mate =)
ReplyDeleteVery good quality set of photos! I am the guy in your last photo, too bad I was holding the national flag terbalik >.<
ReplyDeleteRepliesHello Jason !! Thanks for stopping and posing for me. Terbalik or not, our spirit was there, and we love Malaysia. That I believe my friend, is above anything else, and truly matters for today. Thanks for bearing the flag !
DeleteI'm sharing this vis my FB wall
great job mate..!
for a better Malaysia
Everyone, regardless of their race, religion or place of birth, deserves rule of law, democracy, freedom of speech and a transparent government. As a citizen of Sweden I have all of this, but the fight for the essential liberties is never over. Not here, not in Malaysia and not anywhere else in the world!
May you win this fight!My wife is from KL and I was having an impression that the ethnic Chinese would keep their distance with politics... glad to see some changes...
ReplyDeleteGreat entry! Hope the next time round, they will give the people a chance to rally without being hurt! If Penangites can do that, why can't KL-ites???!! coz they weren't given a chance...
ReplyDelete- Tan YK4/29/2012 03:23:00 AM
nice pic my fren.....its been my pleasure to share ur blog to others....
ReplyDelete Now you've REALLY taken your photography to another level, Robin. Congrats, much success in the changes that you and your compatriots are trying to bring about, and be careful -take care of yourself and your friends. Great images, as always!
ReplyDeleteYay, Robin we are on the same boat...hate the tear gas though...it makes me cry and my mucus flow like a river....LOL..BTW nice pica...I like the pica of the hands.....=)
ReplyDeleteRepliesThanks Amiruddin.
You were there? Yes, the tear gas is a horror. How I wish the police did not resort to such violence.I was at the front of dataran merdeka, i was there when they rushed through the barricade....honestly, I was thrilled, but when they started firing tear gas, i ran to the back, unfortunately one of the tear gas bullet fall right in front of me, damn the pain was felt from my feet to my face, it was excruciating, but it was a very unforgettable experience...
Wow, you were there when the tear gas was fired. Admire you man, sorry to hear that you took a bullet. Hope you are fine now. I was from quite a distance away and I could barely stand the effect of it.yeah i'm quite fine, but i catch a cold a bit with runny nose...=)... It is really like a war though...running through thick tear smoke...gasping for the air like someone choking you....ugh...but honestly my tear is for my country...BERSIH!!!!
DeleteGood for you mate !!! glad to hear you were fine now. Yes, the tear is for Malaysia !!!
Delete- Anonymous5/01/2012 03:57:00 AM
FYI for Malaysian Friends...
We were using Tooth Paste...yes "Pasta Gigi"-here in Jakarta back in 1998- to ease the effect of tear gas. I don't know if its working now--with different tear gas formula ;)-- we just spread it on our upper cheek/below eye and under your nostril..
Good luck with your Spring Reformation
PS. Robin, i got my OM-D and I'm enjoying it....but the battery depleted too fast, only got 400 shoots today :) Hello Harman,
Thanks for the good tips !! Will sure come in handy the next time around.
Glad to know that you got your OM-D !! Oh dear, 400 shots is indeed not enough. I guess a spare is needed. But I do think that the battery capacity is better than it was before on any PEN cameras. But still can be improved.

The above series is a very powerful portrayal of People Power.As an outsider who has visited your country briefly in the past few weeks I am pleased to see that your citizens have the willpower to fight for the betterment of themselves and their beautiful country.. Thanks for being there and and bringing out these ever so powerful shots to show the outside world "POWER TO THE PEOPLE".. May the voices of many Power the few in control to do the right for all.. Regards Ian Mac in Sydney.
ReplyDelete hello captain,
thanks for the well wish, now please help to spread the awareness around! The world needs to know the truth!- js-chong4/29/2012 11:09:00 AM
There're people that I know proclaim they're "neutral" and choosing to be staying at home and posting on facebook instead. He has commented the rally turn into violent and this Bersih 3.0 idea is just isn't right. Seeing your documentary and even disable citizen like Luke is participating in this event, I really do not know what's not right about it.
Peoples in the photo are harmless, they're not armed and I can see old folks even children in it. Well, there're still people choose not to voice out and choose to remain silent (neutral?) And I guess I'll just have to learn to live with them...RepliesWe are all Malaysians, and we all have enough of what was being thrown at us. Do not believe in what you listen from Media or those "neutral" people, they were not there with us, and they did not go through what we did. What you read there was probably over-sensationalized, or just ideal opinions with nothing to be based on.
We were all harmless, peaceful people, protesting and voicing up our frustrations. My photographs do not lie, and I believe you have seen the truth through them.
Well done Robin, for being counted and documenting the event. I hope this won't be the end of the noise-making. Malaysia has improved in the more than 20 years I've been traveling there, but it still has a long way to go.
The big difference I see now, is that people of all races are fed up with the inequity of the "system". Many Malay friends are today embarrassed that they received grants and scholarships that were simply not available to Chinese and Indians. Talking about it will help bring change. Malaysia, we hope, is not Syria. That said, many Chinese I know still have a grave fear of the May 13th, 1969 incident repeating. Keep this in mind when judging fellow KL dwellers, as their parents will have vivid memories of the atrocities of those times!
Although the good folk in your photographs aren't armed, they will be viewed as very dangerous by the incumbent government. Nothing is more vicious that a cornered rat, and when you have a government full of such creatures.....all involved need to be careful!RepliesThanks for the kind words, Tom. Your support and encouragement are really appreoiated.
Indeed, more and more people are speaking up, and acting now, and we are starting to put our differences behind us. Government may see us whatever way she wants to, but we are her people, and we have to fight for our rights. Without us, there is no government in the first place.
Hi there,
amazing set of photos you have!
It's really great to see people of all ages, of all races coming together for this cause, BERSIH. I really do believe there is hope for us yet. Why else would so many of us sacrifice a whole Saturday?
Thanks for giving me a glimpse of what's been happening in KL as I'm in currently studying in Australia. Really would have liked to attend. (No matter, I attended Canberra's one :D )I'm Scottish, but live in Germany. Take courage from the peaceful `Monday Demos` in East Germany, which led to the fall of the Communist government and the opening of the Berlin Wall. Remember Ghandi: First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

I encourage all malaysian around the world to raise up and support this movement to make a different to a better malaysia. Time for a change and fight for our right as a malaysian born and breed other then just BUMI etc:-) Let get rid of this old corrupt regime. Go BERSIH :-) You get all my support.
ReplyDelete Great shots from KL - really captured the feel of the event. That feeling of Malaysians coming together regardless of age, creed, gender, race or religion. That true feeling of 1Malaysia.
ReplyDelete- Anonymous4/30/2012 12:25:00 PM
I admire the courage of your people. I wish we found that courage in Vietnam.
Analogic Robin, thank you for sharing the photos. They are incredible and captured the moment. I left Malaysia in 1993 and became a US citizen last year. One of the big reasons I abandoned Malaysia is because of the institutionalized discrimination and rampant corruption in the system. I am heartened to see that others realize the inequality in Malaysia and are fighting for change. While I no longer have "skin in the game" I wish you all the best and hope that you will be able to change the system for the better, for all Malaysians including my family who are still there.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos Robin; thanks for sharing. Had to look up "Bersih" tho, but after the first lines (on Wikipedia, here) I knew about the topic. I've read enough about elections and even pre-election campaigns during the last years...
ReplyDeleteI am really proud of you, as a fellow friend and Malaysian.
I still remember you said you didn't want to go back Kuching to cast your vote and your one vote will not make a difference. It was disappointing to hear that, especially as a fellow Malaysian.
Today, with your entry on Bersih 3.0, you did your part, with your own method and I am proud of you. Hopefully you will fly back to Kuching to vote during the next election. Your one vote, does make a difference. Really. Not voting is only giving the evil less one person to defeat.
Kudos.- Anonymous4/30/2012 07:25:00 PM
Hi Robin,
Awesome photographic journalism. Your pics are infused with drama and humor. Excellent series yet again!
Eric V Edmonton Alberta
PS. Just in case you haven't seen it...check out the Dpreview website for their latest camera review. I have visited Malaysia many times and have many Malay friends here in Australia. It always amazes me how such a friendly country and wonderful people have a truly lousy government. I hope that the people of Malaysia finally get the government they deserve.
ReplyDeleteIt's scary when the police are fat and the people are thin. But long term, the thin will outlast the fat.
I don't know how to pronounce bearish. But it sounds like freedom to me.Wow! Wow to the Malaysians for standing up and speaking out. Wow to you and your fellow photographers for excellent reportage. Inspiring work!
ReplyDeleteWow some great photojournalism here. Ananda Sim sent me here. I haven't really seen many photos from Malaysia. I am sharing this with my fellow Malaysians.
ReplyDeleteGreat story and wonderful pictures. Robin, you really have a talent for documentary.
Being German, i know that people can change a lot, if they persist and remain peaceful. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you and your fellow Malayans, stay safe please, violence changes nothing.
:) Sabine
BTW: i also linked this on fbI put this up on Facebook:
Read and understand: human rights and the rule of law, not men, are not negotiable and not something only for the rich. Corruption is one of the fundamental evils of this world, but no one has to accept that things cannot be changed. More power to Robin and all the Malaysians who want clean and honest government!
All the best, stay true to yourself, and you will win. The Burke quote remains timeless and oh so true...- SimLim5/01/2012 03:25:00 PM
Glad that you are OK. Brave of you being there, I wonder if my country people will dare to raise up like this, me included. Beautiful photos, right in the middle of the action!
ReplyDelete Hi Robin,
Great images. I support you and the "real" Malaysians in seeking a cleaner government in this country. I really wanted to join the march myself, but in the end I did not because I felt that, as a non-Malaysian, I did not have a right to. Also, I might have gotten fired from my job (I work for a company contracted to the Malaysian government).
Anyhow, I hope these marches gain strength each year and help to reduce the amount of corruption and incompetence I have witnessed here.
Bersih Malaysia!
SRepliesHello Newzild,
Your show of comment here is enough to show your support. There is no need for you to risk your job and your safety to be present on the actual protest, it is understandable. Thanks for the encouraging words, and thanks for your constant support here in this blog. It is appreciated much !!
Powerful images! Also thank you for mentioning Luke Chua - his work is amazing as well... All the best.
ReplyDeleteWell done Robin! Moving and beautiful photos and testimony. I'll share on FB. Don't give up the fight for justice and freedom. May the Grace be with the Malaysian people. Warm regards from Paraguay.

Hi Robin! Excellent blog on the rally event. By the way, I'm featured in your blogpics. The one with the header "V for Vendetta" - that's me in the middle of that pic :)
ReplyDeleteRepliesI am surprised to find you here !! Glad to have you in my photograph. The V for vendetta mask is a very strong symbolism, great to see many people wearing it for the BERSIH Rally.

looking forward to your other updates!

Great pictures Robin. Getting rid of the current regime may seem like its the hardest thing but keeping clean after the change is harder - we South Africans can testify to that. Go for change but be vigilant afterwards. Good luck. Allan Jackson.
ReplyDelete Hey Robin! did you grab any shots of the barbwire around dataran? that would be a 2012 photo of the year so far.
truly a sad day for our country when the government sees fit to throw a ring of barbwire to stop citizens from doing what is their inalienable right, to assemble in a public space.RepliesYou can find some shots of barbwire in the series above.
No, this was not a sad day. Government making wrong decisions, yes, all the time, that is nothing new. But what BERSIH accomplished, bringing 300,000 people together, united regardless of race and religion, age and class, that my friend, is truly something to be celebrated and be joyful about. Malaysians are finally Malaysians, we put aside our differences in hope for a better nation.
Great photos Robin... I believe you will be part of Malaysia history at least through your lens. I will pray for Malaysia yang lebih bersih. This remembering me back to 1998 when we need a clean goverment here in Indonesia, I know we still struggle for fightiing with many corruption here and there. But we believe we are on the right track, so is Malaysia. Even now, president's laws can be brought to jail when he was suspected to the corruption. We can bring governor, minister, military general, member house representative and many to the jail because of the corruption or other abuse of power. And it was impossible until 15 years ago. Keep spirit for Malaysia Bersih!
ReplyDeletethanks for the kind encouragement Rudi!! indeed we must fight for a better country. no doubt we cannot prevent any government from conducting any wrong doing but if the people do not agree with how the government runs things we have to stand up and speak up.
I wish you and your beautiful country well too !!Powerful images, Robin. Thanks so much for sharing them.
As an Indonesian now living abroad I've seen the pain of my home country going through reforms. I don't know if Indonesia is in any better shape than Malaysia is now (we were in terrible shape before the reforms and honestly have a long way to go), but I do know that these things take time. I pray that you and your fellow citizens would have the strength and patience to continue to push for change. As you said, if you don't act then who will?- Xenotzu5/10/2012 10:04:00 PM
Great set of photos. The biggest difference I can between the Bersih marches now and the Reformasi marches of 1998 is that the Bersih marches had more non-Malays. In fact, in many ways, the Malaysian public have grown up a lot and the non-Malays have shed their apathetic ways. Well done Malaysians!
Compare to the 1998 Reformasi marches which were mainly Malays and which were basically very political in nature, a matter of disowned apprentice fighting against his master, Bersih marches have managed to be apolitical in many ways. The Reformasi marches in Kuala Lumpur in 1998 were not only Malay dominated but frightened the Chinese no end. I can still remember one particular march which whether by design or mistake, started heading towards Chow Kit Road. For those who do not know the significance, Chow Kit Road is Chinese dominated and also the flashpoint of the May 13, 1969 Race Riots. Within an hour, all Chinese businesses, offices and shops were closed down as everybody after hearing the news, shut up and fled the area. My office immediately closed and everybody quickly left for home.
Luckily, nothing untoward occurred but I think many KL residents who are Chinese would still remember the chilling effects of the Reformasi marches in 1998. I am glad that Bersih is so different and in many ways, have achieved its aims, if not immediately, slowly and surely.RepliesHello Xenotzu,
Thanks for the kind compliments and thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience on the reformasi with us. I was still too young at that time (only in form 1) and everything seemed vague. Nonetheless you were right, things are different now. Somehow we all do not fear each other in the crowd, and all different races came together and walked together in unison.

Oct. 17, 2012World Science Academies Issue Report to Promote Research Integrity
To encourage researchers around the world to adhere to universal science values and ethical behavior, a new report on responsible science has been issued by the InterAcademy Council and the IAP - the global network of science academies. The report is the first product of the IAC and IAP's project on scientific integrity, initiated in response to several major trends reshaping the research enterprise, including the increasingly global and interdisciplinary nature of science, its heightened role in policy debates, and the continued emergence of high-profile cases of irresponsible research behavior in many countries.

Churches and individual Christians typically have faulty assumptions about the causes of poverty, resulting in the use of strategies that do considerable harm to poor people and themselves. When Helping Hurts provides foundational concepts, clearly articulated general principles and relevant applications. The result is an effective and holistic ministry to the poor, not a truncated gospel.

"Often done, rarely discussed - POVERTY RELIEF"
This book gave me new insights into what we do to help those in need. Often, we mistakenly throw in money thinking it will help solve problems quickly. The author illustrates how this is frequently detrimental to local believers, and gives certain suggestions on what we can do to help with a view to sustainable ministry.Highly recommended!
"When Helping Hurts"
Great book for anyone who is involved in a mission trip. Very good guide to learning how to give, without giving it away.
"Amazing, practical book"
This book is an amazing practical book for anyone considering helping the poor. It is a frank description of the pitfalls of potential methods for poverty alleviation based on experience. Followed by practical tips and use case examples that can be easily applied to your life.
Buy this, listen, and apply it to your life. You will not be disappointed.
The reader does a fairly good job. His voice is easy to listen to. I played it on 1.5 speed and had no trouble following along.
"Do you want to help the poor? Then read this."
This is an excellent book for anyone that wants to help the poor. This is a required read for anyone in our church that wants to go on a mission trip or start an outreach.
"Love this book."
I have a non profit that serves children in Haiti. This book is an awesome guide to serving and loving people who are in poverty.
"Revolutionary thoughts!"
Number 2
The Kenyan Church-- they worshiped God always, despite the poverty they faced daily.

When Helping Hurts: Changing the World and Ourselves.
This book was inspiring for me, as a future missionary. I was excited to see ideas that were already in my heart played out so well in this book. It was very confirming to know other people share the same ideas. I would TOTALLY suggest it to anyone wanting to make a difference in the world. The best part is that it disposes of the classic position of the helper, that we Americans are good and should give to others. The truth, (as discussed in this book) is that we are all broken and we all need help.... we change the world by first changing ourselves and accepting help from others. The next step is to poor out the good we are given into the people and circumstances around us. It's a must read!
The main idea is helping the poor help themselves instead of just giving them things over and over and wondering why they're not changing. We need to start thinking in terms of relationships instead of just trying to fix things and move on to the next problem. There is so much incredible information in this book that I've never thought about. I think every believer should read it because so many churches are hurting the poor without meaning to. I don't agree with everything written but I do agree with most of the information.
"Everyone would cares about the poor needs this."
Powerful help for those working on behalf of the poor. Eye opening. Compassionate. You need to read this.
"Changed the way I think about poverty in all its forms"
I would recommend this book to anyone that is trying to reconcile the justice/social gospel with the gospel parts of Christianity.
"Must read if you really want to impact lives!"
Stimulated thoughts which have invoked change in the way I view poverty and the role I can play to work with individuals to improve their situations. Clompletely changed my view of "giving". If you aspire to make the greatest impact in your giving, definitely read!
"A read for every development practitioner"
A good well thought through manual for development. Regardless of religious worldview this book will be useful to any NGO.
"Helpful insights"
This unabridged audiobook explores many important concepts surrounding poverty alleviation programmes, motives and attitudes. This was recommended to me by someone who works for Tearfund and I found this listen both compelling and challenging, even after having tried to think about this before.

I took this August 2006 when my father moved from the Fairfield nursing home (which was sold) to the Hebrew Home in Riverdale (the Bronx). He lived on three different floors here, in three different buildings.
It looks good. Nursing homes always look a lot better from the outside. I've never met anyone who's had good experience with a relative being in a nursing home.
Given what the aides are paid and the ratio of staff to patient, there's no way on earth the care could be even acceptable, much less good.

A few days back, we ran into an issue on a project using Backbone.js where we needed two Backbone views to be able to talk to one another. This is not an issue when there is a view A that has a reference to view B and binds to any events that propagate from B. Our issue was a little more in-depth because these views did not have references to each other, they only shared a model. We discovered two ways to handle this communication issue: the hack and the right way.
The Setup
We have a main view rendering a preview page view as well as individual item views. The main view gives the preview view a collection of items to generate and show item previews. The previews include a title, description and comment count of the items. When a user clicks a preview view to see the full version, the main view builds the full item view and swaps it in on the page (in place of the preview page). We hold copies of the full item views and the preview view in memory to allow easy swapping between pages without needing to re-render.
The Problem
When we load the full item view, we then load in all the comments associated with it. We display the comments on the page and fill in a comment count on the full view. But wait, didn't we already have a comment count for the preview item? We did, but that was only a static attribute on the item. In the full item view, when we add or remove a comment, the comment count changes to reflect the actual count. With this setup, we never updated the comment count on the preview. Since our app swaps out the preview page and full item pages via JavaScript with the JSON provided on the full page load, that static comment count becomes stale.
The Fixes
Our goal was to give the comment collection to the item preview view when we pulled it from the server during the full item view creation. This would allow the preview view to stay up-to-date with comment count changes and keep the UI consistent. The only thing these view have directly in common was the item model (remember that the item previews were children of the preview view, which is a sibling of the full item views).
Initially our solutions were ugly. We could have the preview view bind to an event on the model and the full view trigger that event on the model, passing along the comment collection. This sounds reasonable, except that we are binding and triggering on a model that has no notion of this. It worked, but it felt dirty to just happen to have a common model to pass data over. More importantly, it would cause rework if we used two different models to render the full view and the preview view – suddenly there is no shared model.
The next idea was to pass the comment collection, after it loaded, up to the master view. The master view would then have to pass the collection to the preview view, which would then pass it down to the item preview view. This solution would work too, but would be a headache to implement. We had done this elsewhere, and it was time consuming. It not only took time, it also posed a risk if we were to add or remove a view in the chain – breaking the data sharing.
The EventBus
Backbone.js has events and event binding without a notion of a shared communication channel like an EventBus. Our final solution to our issue (surprise!) was to implement one. Below is our setup.
Simple, huh? In our application namespace we extended an empty object (with the power of underscore) to create a Backbone.Events object. This allows us to simply bind and trigger on the object from anywhere in the app.
The solution is much like Derick Bailey's setup. Here is a look at his journey, the first post is about solving the problem and the second is a look back at the solution and how to improve it. The second post is full of great pointers on our common solution and how to get better results from it.

Here are some picture to prove that we did the things mentioned above:
Easter 2012: Josiah: 3 1/2 (in his favorite color, purple), Ali: 5 1/2, Abi: 17 months
Pictures from the first and last day of Kindergarten. Ali adored her teacher, Ms. Lum.
Ali's first grade goals: To make new friends and to learn to spell more words correctly.
For her birthday, Ali and I went to see the Kellogg's Tour of Gymnastic Champions. It was a fun night of making memories. And, Ali was over the moon to be able to watch Aly Raisman's Gold Medal Floor Routine live!
Hopefully, most posts will come soon to prove that we do, in fact, have three children and that they get their time as well...

Determinants of poverty in Mozambique (1996-97)
This report presents an analysis of the structural determinants of living standards and poverty in Mozambique, which is based on nationally-representative data from the first national household living standards survey since the end of the civil war: Poverty in Mozambique is predominantly a rural phenomenon and is pervasive, with over two-thirds of the population falling below the poverty line. The degree of regional variation of poverty within the country is striking. The policy simulations that illustrate the impact that changes in the levels of determinants of poverty have on poverty levels allow us to identify six possible elements of a prospective poverty alleviation strategy for Mozambique. These include (1) increased investment in education, (2) sustained economic growth, (3) a sectoral pattern of growth favoring faster growth in the industrial and services sectors, (4) measures to raise agricultural productivity, (5) improved rural infrastructure, and (6) reducing fertility and dependency load within households. In conclusion, any meaningful poverty reduction strategy in Mozambique must give the highest priority to rural areas and must address these macro-level and household-level determinants of poverty in its policy formulations.

Classic Stoner (heavy fuzz) blues rock! The 'Joseph' was in fact Joseph Long or Joseph Longeria, discovered by the album's producer and A & R man Steve Tyrell playing in Houston in a battle of the blues competition. This is the only known foray into recording that Longeria made and he was a superb guitar player to boot.
Stoned Age Man contains some of weirdest lyrics ever written. Check out 'I Ain't Fattenin' No More Frogs for Snakes' and the eastern 'Cold Biscuits and Fish Heads.'

Wow that is one ugly mug, ha ha. Reminds me of a Sharpei dog/pig mix.
Hmm, Sharpig!

(Yes, I'm off my meds...ha ha)
Move along, move along
Can't wait for this one......he will look sweet next to Ephant mon!

I hear Hermi Odle is even bigger in Japan.
This was one figure I wouldn't have minded if they failed to make into a toy. He always looked weird, but not SW weird, in Jabba's palace. And, what's his name an anagram of?
Eh me, droid?

hired mole
that's like a beauty spot really.
Hermie should be quite a bit smaller than Ephant Mon. hopefully hasbro scaled him right. though i don't much like the finish on the final figure I'll deffo buy him. then dirty him up more and make his tongue slimey red. like raw meat half chewed.
definitely a welcome figure. as are any palace figures besides Luke, Han and Chewie. Oh for a decent Jabba though.
He'll probably be somewhere between Amanaman and Ephant Mon in terms of size.
The figure looks great and I'll definitely buy him, but he just doesn't seem to be on the same level as Ephant Mon in terms of detailing. It's like Hasbro tried to "soften" him up a bit because they were afraid he would be too hideous for kids to want him.

Indiana University Bloomington Indiana University Bloomington Indiana University Bloomington
with former CIA agent and current IU faculty member Gene Coyle
Wednesday, Oct. 20, 2010 * 7 p.m. * HHC Great Room * Free and Open to the Public
In July of this year, 10 Russian deep-cover intelligence officers were expelled from the United States for espionage. What were they doing? What were they looking for? Given all the emphasis since 9/11 on tracking down and capturing terrorists, how much old-fashioned espionage still goes on the 21st century? During the Cold War, waged in the second half of the twentieth century between the Soviet Union and its satellite states and the Western world, particularly the United States, spies were the stuff of legend and reality. Who is spying on whom these days? Join former CIA officer Gene Coyle for an informal fireside chat about modern-day espionage.
Coyle, who speaks Russian, Greek, Portuguese, and German, spent 14 of his 30 years with the Central Intelligence Agency working undercover in various countries, including Russia, Kyrgyzstan, Brazil, Portugal, and Greece. Coyle has been teaching at IU since 2004, for the first two years under a CIA academic outreach program and more recently as an adjunct professor in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs. He is the author of the spy novels The Dream Merchant of Lisbon and No Game for Amateurs and has written articles for the CIA's Studies in Intelligence journal.

Good Looking Winter
The last few days have been an absolute pearler in old Sydney town. Each one better than the last. And with a return to arctic Winter temps due for the weekend, we have been soaking up the sunshine while it's here. Monday, Scott went to work for half of his day off, because he is just crazy busy at present (and working long long long hours), but he managed to get out in time to meet Felix and I for a lovely lunch and walk along the beach. Felix slept right through the meal, so we enjoyed a cheeky drink and I had the tastiest grilled snapper and pumpkin puree with pesto & roasted rosemary potatoes. Quite the step up from my usual salad roll weekdays. Scott having the afternoon off also meant being able to pick Angus up from preschool, for the very first time. Such a beautiful thing to see Angus' expression when Dad walked in.
Today, the boys and I hopped on a bus and met Nana at Circular Quay. We wandered and chatted and climbed structures we shouldn't... thank you Angus. Then had lunch on the grass in the Botanic Gardens. Sydney Harbour looked picture perfect under twenty two degree skies. The sun has been just what my senses required this week, with my thoughts and feelings a little scrambled. My gorgeous friend had her operation today and the long journey begins. But she knows we are all here waiting for her and she will have endless support over the coming months.

Moreover, and admin messaged me regarding this rule and I couldn't message him back. Is that an earned privilege too? It's funny how at the top it says "Welcome to the most addictive discussion..." and I'm not allowed to message people back or start my own topics.

My Numeracy students are now about a month into their ALEKS experience. I started all students out on the third grade standards level (the lowest ALEKS goes), and on average, my students scored around 50% mastery on their initial diagnostics. At this point, some of the students have completed level 3 and are onto level 4, and many others are close to completing the level. There are the stragglers too, of course. I'll do more detailed stats later on. The goal I've set with students is that they should try to complete 3 entire levels by the end of the year (i.e. 3 years of growth in math ability). I was skeptical at first, but after seeing how the students interact with the program, I have much more hope. ALEKS is not a creative, fun, snazzy program. Essentially, students get a sample problem to try. If they don't know how to do it, they read an explanation and try again. When they get a certain type of question right 3 or 4 times in a row, without asking for help, the concept is added to their pie chart. Periodically, they are re-assessed by the program, and concepts they no longer know are pulled back out of their pie chart.
I have been impressed by how self-reliant the students are being. They are managing to read the explanations and figure out the problems on their own. Some students are really getting into it, and are bragging to each other about how much of their pie they have completed. They have also figured out that getting a problem wrong, or clicking on the "explain" button causes the program to require more correct problems to add the concept to the pie. For that reason, they are actually trying harder to get the problem right the first time. The immediate feedback has been very helpful for the students. My favorite moments are now at the end of class; sometimes, when I tell students they need to log off, a few will be like "oh wait, let me just get this one last problem so I can add it to my pie".
Right now, I am just assessing them on time spent on ALEKS - not on the actual amount of progress being made; it seems to be effective enough, and the whole point is to allow students to work at their own pace. We'll see if I need to modify that policy in the future.
On a different note, we have been working on bar modeling to solve word problems every class for 15-20 minutes. I assigned the first problem set as homework last week, and I graded them this weekend. They were quite bad. It's always a bad feeling when you realize your students are a lot farther behind than you thought. I've pushed ahead into more complicated problems, but I just realized that many students are still having trouble with the basics. That's ok.. we'll just cycle back to the beginning and have another go at it.
In Algebra 2, we've started in with the basic idea of logarithms, using the Big L notation I wrote about in an earlier post. I think it is working well. We have been focusing on the similarities between roots and logs: in a root, the index tells you the exponent, and you are looking for the base. In a log, the subscript tells you the base, and you are looking for the exponent. Last year, many students had trouble in power expressions determining when to use a log or a root; I think they will have a much better understanding of it this year.

We used your "Representational Fluency" functions worksheet for Algebra II in class today, and it was very effective. Thanks!
- Dan Greene said...
Hi Hanna,
I'm glad it helped! I love me some good representational fluency!
Let me know if you come up with any good modifications of additions. - 8:56 PM
We've used the worksheets on Translations and Transformations too (still working on the last one), and these have been immensely helpful in breaking up a very dense chapter in the textbook. The distance between where the students are and what the textbook does is pretty huge, and we'll be looking for a new text at Asilomar this year. Meanwhile - thanks for making these great materials available! I'm nervous about seeing the copy count for this month, though... Have likely gone over the limits of the Math Dept copy budget.
Glad you're back and writing again. Have a restful break. - 10:58 PM
Your graphs are done in Sketchpad, no? How do you do the open/closed circles at discontinuities in the graphs of piecewise functions?
- Dan Greene said...
No, I do them in the Grapher app that comes with OS X. Unfortunately, I haven't found a program yet that does open/closed circles well. I actually do them by hand - just create a tiny circle object, and copy and paste it around. I just save some parent graphs, and then retool them as needed for further examples. You may want to look into GeoGebra to make graphs also. It's free, anyway. If you ever find a good solution to this, please let me know!
Thank you so much!

BRYOZOA : CHEILOSTOMATIDA : Hippoporinidae | SEA MATS |
Pentapora foliacea |
Description: This is the largest bryozoan to be found around our coasts, growing to 40cm or more across. The colony consists of a series of brittle plates joined to each other to form a domed or hemispherical colony. Small colonies start by encrusting the rock and then growing a series of upright plates.
Habitat: This species is most common in sand-scoured habitats attached to bedrock or boulders, often surrounded by coarse gravel
Distribution: A common species in the southern part of Ireland and the British Isles, becoming more scarce in Scotland, but recorded as far north as Lewis in the Outer Hebrides.
Similar Species: No other species in the area forms large upright lamellate colonies. Smittina landsborovii is normally an encrusting species, but can grow small two-sided, convoluted plates which look like the start of a Pentapora colony.

Market Research Report
Transparent Electronics Markets - 2012 |
Published by | n-tech Research, a NanoMarkets company | Product code | 223846 | ||||

This publication has been discontinued on September 10, 2016.
In the past few years there has been much talk about " transparent electronics," but few, if any, attempts to assess the potential size of this market or whether there are genuine opportunities to be found in it. This new NanoMarkets report fills this gap and provides the first assessment of transparent electronics from a commercial - rather than technological - perspective. The report covers both opportunities at the applications and at the materials level.
The report begins with an examination of the applications that have been proposed to date for transparent electronics. Most of these have yet to be commercialized and in this survey we analyze each of the applications with a view to determining whether they have a real chance of generating new business revenues in the near-to-medium term future. Our assessment in this regard is based on how the sectors to which transparent electronics is being addressed have developed in the past and on NanoMarkets' many years of experience assessing new technologies in the display, solar panel, TFT, and other related technologies.
This report also provides an in-depth assessment of the devices and materials that are likely to be used in transparent electronics. Here again, NanoMarkets is able to bring to the table its long experience of analyzing the market for transparent conductive oxides, a class on which transparent electronics will be highly reliant. The report also includes a revenue forecast and roadmap for transparent electronics for the period: 2012 to 2019.

I also Like these one.
I have been quitley comtemplating the acquision of these items, the S-works shoes are really cool in real life nad have been making a real push in the pro peleton but I really hate Specialized and I'm dealing with that. Also the new Giro Prolight helmet is breathtakingly light but looks SO cheap, every time I see one I think it's like a $25 helmet.

Since childhood, we've had it drilled into us just how important handwashing really is. We see it in health articles and on television; our mothers and doctors warn us to wash frequently. But is it really as necessary as everyone says? Are we really going to get sick if we don't wash our hands? If you're normally healthy and have no immune system health problems, the truth is that you might get sick MORE often and have more chronic illnesses by having careful handwashing
and personal hygiene practices.
But everyone knows that being clean is healthy.
It's true that improving hygiene practices have saved millions of lives in the past few generations. Treating drinking water, improved city sanitation, handwashing in hospitals, vaccinations and disinfection practices have prevented common diseases that killed off entire populations in the past.
But the United States has become a nation of clean freaks. We disinfect our homes, workplaces and gyms constantly. It's unthinkable for most people to go a day without a shower. We wash our hands constantly and are afraid to touch anything that anyone else has come into contact with. Healthy Skin doesn't NEED frequent washing to stay hygienic, contrary to popular opinion.
That MAY be the best way to protect communities, but it may not be the best way to protect individuals from illness in the long run.
"The cleaner everyone is, the less stimulation their immune system gets. Their immune system tends to be incomplete." - Nora Sarvetnick, Scripps Research Immunology Professor
The American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, The American Journal of Respiratory and Critical Care Medicine, The New England Journal of Medicine, and others have highlighted the "Hygiene Hypothesis" of immune system health.
This theory suggests that exposure to bacteria, dirt, dust, animals and day care centers during childhood can contribute to lower incidences of asthma, allergies and autoimmune disorders.
Yes, LOWER!
The reason for this is because our Immune System depends on being active. Just like the army that we discussed on the Immune System Health page, challenging our bodies with pathogens and bacterial toxins can help to mature our immune systems and make them more efficient. This maturation allows us to differentiate friend from foe.
"…the immune system needs some kind of hardening, some kind of resistance. Put another way, you cannot really build up good muscles without doing exercise." -Subra Kugathasan, MD, Medical College of Wisconsin Associate Professor of Pediatrics, Gastroenterology.
This lack of differentiation is the problem in asthma, allergies and autoimmune disorders. An immature or under stimulated immune system will put up a fight against common substances in the environment, attacking them as if they are a threat. In the case of autoimmune diseases, the immune system perceives our own bodies to be the threat! This becomes a real problem for those who suffer. Symptoms can range anywhere from sniffling and sneezing to full scale destruction of body systems.
What does this have to do with Handwashing?
Good handwashing IS important. For health care, day care and food service workers it is vital to prevent illness from being spread. In fact, "Poor personal hygiene in food handlers was identified as the second leading cause of illness in a review of food borne illness between 1983 and 1987" (Bean et al. 1990). Even in households, handwashing after using the bathroom and before and after handling food can prevent illness from several different pathogens. It just makes good common sense.
But common sense seems to have become "germ phobia". People wash their hands constantly, refuse to touch door knobs, carry hand sanitizers with them wherever they go and disinfect every surface of their house weekly. One problem with this is that we are constantly exposing ourselves to Chlorine In Water and other environmental toxins present in hand soap each time we wash.
Chlorine is in most household water systems, placed there by the water treatment plants to disinfect the water. It is absorbed by our skin in small amounts every time we wash. We also breathe it into our lungs when hot water aerosolizes, giving us a double whammy of Environmental Toxins every time we wash.
Antibacterial soaps are another concern. Americans use these antibacterial soaps, usually in the form of Triclosan, in just about everything. Aside from being ineffective at preventing colds and flu, Triclosan also has an irritating and drying effect on the Skin. Dry, irritated skin breaks down the defense system that the skin has against pathogens. Instead of getting rid of bad bacteria, the addition of antibacterials can kill good bacteria and allow the skin to harbor pathogenic bacteria.
One study showed that health care workers who performed handwashing with antibacterial soap had an INCREASED amount of Multiple Drug Resistant Organisms on their hands.
"With the huge media attention around dangerous bacteria such as MRSA, the marketing hype pushing total annihilation of bacteria via wipes or sprays, coupled with the dangerous reliance on antibiotics for almost any infection, there is a real concern that we are misunderstanding bacteria and the vital role some bacteria can play in our overall health..." -Professor Ken Jones, Immunologist,Cardiff School of Health Sciences.
There are thousands of organisms in our environment and on our bodies. Our bodies are designed to have bacteria on them and inside of them all of the time.
Certain Good Bacteria are such an integral part of our immune systems that we would die without them.
Most people don't realize that destroying bacteria by handwashing and frequent showering only makes way for more bacteria to live where the others have died. This paves the way for illness and infection.
This effect is a probable factor in the large rise of Eczema in past years, according to researchers at the University of Sheffield Medical School.
So what do you do?
Rosalind Stanwell-Smith and Sally Bloomfield coauthored "The Hygiene Hypothesis and Implications for Home Hygiene", This extremely comprehensive report on all studies done that relate to the hygiene hypothesis states,
Well, it's obvious that handwashing and otherwise having good hygiene is important to prevent the transmission of disease, but it's also important that we have regular exposure to all kinds of microorganisms in order to keep the immune system at its best and to keep our gut and skin coated with good bacteria.
'Targeting' our washing and cleaning in a conscious manner may be the answer, according to Stanwell-Smith and Bloomfield. The report explains targeting as a way that we can wash when we do 'high risk' activities such as using the bathroom, changing a diaper or cutting meat – to name only a few. We can disinfect surfaces where these high risk activities occur. And we can avoid unnecessary cleaning that exposes us to harsh chemicals, kills beneficial bacteria and dries out our skin.
Researchers and doctors are not ready to tell parents to let their kids eat dirt in order to get their immune systems strong, yet! But hopefully we can learn to achieve a balance between preventing disease on one hand (pun intended!) and keeping our immune systems strong on the other.

The inhabitants of a Welsh seaside resort are fingering their net curtains in nervous anticipation of new signposts bearing the dread words: traeth noethlymunwyr.
They translate as "nudist beach" and, if Gwynedd county council's executive committee approves, will soon mark out the village of Morfa Dyffryn, near Harlech, as the site of Wales's first - and Britain's 11th - official naturist haunt.
The length and beauty of Morfa Dyffryn's beach have long made it an unofficial nudist colony and as many as 200have been known to congregate here on hot bank holidays.
The British Naturism organisation has asked the council for an officially recognised section of beach but the plans to formalise matters have not been greeted warmly. One Labour councillor, Owen Edwards, spoke for many this week when he warned that the village, between Harlech and Barmouth, could become a "Welsh Soho".
Mr Edwards told a council meeting: "The numbers coming to this particular beach in the nude will increase dramatically and that has serious implications." Another councillor, Linda Wyn Jones, even raised the prospect of the beach attracting paedophiles.
Though naturism seems to be shedding its eccentric image -- 25,000 people are now dedicated enthusiasts in the UK - Morfa Dyffryn would become the first official site to be established since the years 1976 to 1980, when by-laws permitted the practice on 10 beaches.
The Welsh will take some persuading and to assuage their fears a council committee has voted to designate the beach for a 12-month trial period. Mr Williams said: "They'll look at it again then to ensure nobody does anything stupid. We're hoping for the best."

If (a,b,c) is such a triple then so is (na,nb,nc) for any positive integer n. So we define a Pythagorean triple to be primitive if a,b and c have no common factor. Obviously if we want to compute all Pythagorean triples we just have to consider the primitive ones.
The Alexandrian Diophantus considered the problem of determining all such triples some time around 250 AD. Here's the result.
Theorem Let x,y be coprime positive integers such that x-y is odd. Then (x2-y2,2xy,x2+y2) is a primitive Pythagorean triple and all such triples arise this way.
See also the proof of Diophantus' theorem on Pythagorean triples.
Roger Vogeler came up with a way to generate every primitive Pythagorean Triple from (3,4,5):
Inscribe a unit circle inside a 2x2 square, both centered on the origin. For this w/u, I'll use the top right corner of the square as the reference point P. Let the point on the circle which touches the bottom side of the square be the reference point Q. The line PQ crosses the circle in two places. One place is at the point Q. The other point is (4/5,3/5), the Pythagorean Fraction equivalent to 2pq/(p2+q2) and (p2-q2)/(p2+q2) for p=2, q=1 (x and y from above). Now inscribe a rectangle inside the circle where one of the corners is (4/5,3/5), and the sides of the rectangle are parallel to the circumscribed square. Lines from P to the other three corners of this rectangle yield the triples (5,12,13), (8,15,17) and (20,21,29). The p,q values of these are (3,2), (4,1) and (5,2) respectively.
this intersection is the point (20/29,21/29) | | | | _______________________________________\_|_/_____ P (the point (1,1)) | ,.onOK@@@@@HQme., \|/ ,| | ,.szF'` `'Tux., V ,oO/| | ,z'` `'c, ,oO`/ | | ,x'` `'w,'` / | | .u'` ,oO'n./ /| this intersection is the point | dy------------------------------,oO`---qb <-|--------- (4/5,3/5) | /7| ,O'` /|VA \| | 4y | ,oO' / | \D | |,I' | ,oO` / | `U,| |dp | ,O'` / | qb| ,j' | ,oO' / | `t, AV | ,oO` / | VA 69 | ,O'`. / | 96 VA | ,oO'(the origin) / | AV `t, | ,oO` / | ,j' |qb | ,O'` / | dp| |`I, | ,oO' / | ,U'| | \D | ,oO` / | 4y | | VA|,O'` / |/7 | | qb'______________________/_____________dy | | `'n. / .u'` | | `'w, / ,x'` | | `'c, / ,z'` | | `'Tux., / ,.szF'` | | `'TTOK@@@@@HQTT'` | ________________________Q (the point (0, -1))____
From the above, it can be shown that every primitive (p,q) pair generates three new primitive (p,q) pairs and that no pair is repeated. (p,q) generates the following three (p,q) pairs:
(p+2q,q), (2p+q,p), (2p-q,p)
This is a three-way tree. If (p,q) are not (2,1), then it can be shown that the pair which generated (p,q) is (abs(p-2q),q) or (q,abs(p-2q)) (it is helpful to have p>q).
It is also interesting to note that, for every odd n=ab where gcd(a,b) is 1 and a>b>1, n appears at least twice in the form p2-q2.

I sent out my article yesterday on Expresso. It's a relief to have it off my desk. As I think about the cuts I made in response to the page limits, undoubtedly some of the edits improved the piece. It's certainly less intimidating to a general audience now. It's not excessively footnoted, and I try to keep the reader oriented without those annoying, cumbersome roadmaps. (As one of my colleagues put it, I try to keep the architecture to argument ratio down.) But I still think that the page limits disadvantage those of us who write about tax, business, or law and economics. Here's why.
A con law professor writing about the first amendment doesn't have to spend 15 pages at the beginning of the article explaining that we have this document called a Constitution, and this Constitution enumerates certain rights, and this is what a right is, and one of these enumerated rights is the right to free speech, and here it is in the first amendment, and this is what an amendment to the Constitution is ...
Whereas I really do have to spend 15 pages explaining what a venture capital fund is, what a buyout fund is, what a carried interest is, what an option is, what the allocation and distribution provisions of a partnership agreement do, what a clawback provision is, and so forth. Otherwise the claim that I am making -- that venture capital fund agreements are inefficient -- won't make any sense at all.
Part of the problem is methodology. I'm not writing a doctrinal piece, and I'm not writing a pure theory piece. I'm using some basic institutional law and economics. This demands a fairly rich description of the institutional factors that affect incentives. And I'm throwing in tax, so I need a fairly detailed explanation of how the tax rules work.
Now, taking as a given that 15 pages or so is background, that still leaves me 35 pages to make my claim. It's less than the 50 pages my con law colleagues get, but hey, who said life was fair. And I think I was able to do that in this Article. (And my last "big" article too, which only ran about 50 pages in the Tax L Rev.) But if I wanted to back up my claims with some empirical work like I did in my prior drafts, there's just no way it would fit.
So what we may see is a (further) division according to methodology. The general law reviews will remain the leading places to publish doctrine pieces. Empirical, business, tax, and economics work will gravitate even more to specialty journals, esp. faculty edited journals. I think we will also continue to see more important work in quasi-peer reviewed journals like the Journal of Corporation Law and the Virginia Tax Review, where students edit the articles but faculty has a say in choosing what goes in.
And maybe that's okay. My tenure committee isn't likely to look down on the Virginia Tax Review, and my target audience gets the article off SSRN anyway. This may be an area where specialization simply makes sense.
Maybe I'm wrong. I sent out the article yesterday on Expresso, and 24 hours later I have three offers, and one is from a general student edited review. And when the Harvard Law Review calls, you can be sure I won't be complaining about their page limits policy.

Handy Winter Plumbing Tips Now That The Temperatures Are Falling
If you have outdoor taps or a garden sprinkler system, now is a good time, to get them ready for winter.
Detach all hoses before the first freeze. Close the shut-off valve to the outdoor taps. Now turn on the taps and let any remaining water drain out. When the temperature starts rising, in the spring, you can just reverse the process.
Make sure that any exposed pipework is well insulated against the cold. Especially, any pipes that are on the outside of your home. This will help keep them from freezing and then giving you lots of problems, when they thaw out.
Burst water pipes can be expensive problems to deal with, so its well worth your time reading any other winter plumbing tips you can find.
Other Handy Plumbing Tips
Understanding and fixing your home plumbing system is a vital part of any house improvement, repairs or maintainence. However, if you are not a professional plumber, then recognizing your limitations is also very important. And it also helps to have the correct tools for the job.
If water is flooding your residence, immediately switch off the main electric power supply. If water gets into contact with any kind of electric components, it could become a deadly situation. As soon as the power is off, then you can think about sorting out the flood water. You need to put your familys safety first, before worrying about water damage. It is also a good idea to show the other members of your family how to shut off the main power supply, just in case.
If you are not overly confident about tackling a plumbing job… then don't. If you make a mistake, then the cost to repair the extra problems will be an awful lot more than you wanted to spend in the first place.
If your water bills seem to be on the high side, and you have not recently transferred suppliers, then you might want to get a professional in to find out if you have a problem in the supply line.
p.s. don't forget to look for those other winter plumbing tips.

The speech Barack Obama gave for his acceptance of the Democratic nomination was truly incredible. Even with all of the amazing orators we've heard over the last four days, nothing comes close to what Obama said tonight. Invesco Field may be the football stadium in Denver, but to borrow the old baseball metaphor, he knocked that one out of the park, out of Denver and back and forth across the country. It roared for those in attendance and made John McCain and the Republicans shudder as if standing by the source of a sonic boom.
The speech covered everything and then some. From the economy and health care to Osama bin Laden and Iraq, no detail was spared in order to get the message across that he is the candidate of change, and McCain is the candidate of the past. His message was one of hope, that government can help Americans just as Americans can help their government and their country.
He laid into John McCain like no Democratic nominee has for a long, long time. The speech contained so many great sound bites and hit McCain with the red meat that Democrats love to hear, especially those 75,000 that saw it live. More importantly though, Barack Obama did something that John Kerry could only dream about, fighting and speaking for liberalism. Liberalism has gotten such a bad name in the last thirty years because Republicans have been able to control the message while we just rested on our ideals. Well in 2008 you can't just expect everything to magically fall into your lap simply because you're right...you have to go out there and defend your principles until it is your message that shines brightest on the national stage.
Barack Obama understands that and he delivered on it.
The debates start in less than a month from now and oh man, if we see the Barack Obama of tonight stand up next to John McCain at any of those three events, this race is over....like a grand slam at the end of the game that you've already been leading all along.

"Making art can feel dangerous and revealing. Making art is dangerous and revealing. Making art precipitates self-doubt, stirring deep waters that lay between you and what you should be and what you fear you might be. For many people, that alone is enough to prevent their ever getting started at all—and for those who do, trouble isn't long in coming. Doubts, in fact, soon rise in swarms."
Bayles & Orland, from Art & Fear
I am better at dealing with doubts these days—writing doubts. I somehow know how to dodge at least some of the bees that swarm and rise and look like they will attack, leaving me in the fetal position with a thousand creative bites swelling and stinging and calling attention to all to come and see me as the sad and pathetic person I know myself to be. Ouch, that doesn't sound like I am better with writing doubts, but I am. Honest.
However, I still wrestle with creative fear. For years I have wanted to take an African dance class. I lived right by a studio in Brooklyn but I could never make myself sign up. For years I have wanted to study mosaics. I am fascinated with how broken pieces can be put back together to create something glittery and beautiful. Even now in acknowledging both of these creative pursuits out loud, right here in cyberspace, where friends may ask me or hold me to account for trying, I am not sure if I will. I want to…but what if I look like a failure? What if I have two left feet? What if I stink? What if people laugh at me? What if I can't laugh at myself? What if I need help? What if I look like a fool?
Ok, you know something. Writing these doubts down they look kind of silly. But what isn't silly is being able to be with the discomfort of trying, of wanting, and doing and taking an action. It is a skill. It is a muscle that needs developed each time we try something new. V, the man in my life, takes African drumming and has done African dance in a class where he was the only man. He is brave. Braver than me but I hope his ability to deal with doubts rubs off on me. He said about the dancing, "Ah, I don't care if I am no good. It is fun." I want to feel good when dealing with my doubts. I want them to be fun, don't you?

Try it, Bethany!
I just started taking a hot yoga class, and the act of being brave has DEFINITELY transferred into my writing.
I love that they call it "practicing" rather than "doing" or "participating." The gentle nuance of that term helps me overcome my fear of being "bad at it."
Writing is like that....practicing. I mean, you can always rewrite it.
Part of my talk this weekend touched on "embracing the hesitation....and weeding through writing/plot choices." Doing something a little bit risky really helped me see that I could embrace the hesitation and choices.
Nice post!
