BWW Reviews: MARTHA SWOPE: THE REHEARSAL EXHIBITION By Trudy Garfunkel
Martha Swope: THE REHEARSAL EXHIBITION REVIEW by Trudy Garfunkel
Photographic Exhibition Captures Behind-the-Scenes Worlds of Theater and Dance
For nearly four decades (1957-1994), Martha Swope was America's pre-eminent photographer of theater and dance, her discerning eye chronicling hundreds of classical ballets, modern dance, and Broadway performances and performers. But she also went behind-the-scenes, documenting what audiences never get to experience-the creative collaborations that make the magic on stage possible: rehearsals.
Now, an exhibition of her rarely seen rehearsal photos at the New York Public Library for the Performing Arts at Lincoln Center, gives us a glimpse of what she saw--the hard work, energy, and craftsmanship that make great art a reality. It is an illuminating visual record. As a photographer who also had studied ballet, she had a unique understanding of movement and process, an understanding that served her well in photographing dramatic plays, Broadway musicals, and dance performances on stage and in the rehearsal studio. Her ability to capture essential moments is evident in many of the visual images presented here.
Martha Swope: THE REHEARSAL (on view until January 26, 2013) celebrates this aspect of Martha Swope's life work in more than 100 (mostly) black and white photographs. Here are Merce Cunningham coaching New York City Ballet's Carol Sumner in his Summerspace (1966); Arthur Mitchell and Diana Adams rehearsing Agon before its creators, Igor Stravinsky and George Balanchine (1957); Erik Bruhn and Mikhail Baryshnikov rehearsing La Sylphide for American Ballet Theater (1975); Martha Graham setting her portion of Episodes at NYCB (1958); Savion Glover, Gregory Hines (in midair), and director George C. Wolfe practicing a dance number from Jelly's Last Jam (1992); Peter Gennaro demonstrating moves from West Side Story's Dance in the Gym sequence. Also from West Side Story, a photo of Jerome Robbins, Leonard Bernstein, Arthur Laurents, Stephen Sondheim, and other members of the creative staff in a studio before the premiere in 1957 (this photo, Ms. Swope's first published credit, appeared in Life magazine and was the start of her professional photographic career); Harold Prince and Patti LuPone backstage at Evita (1979); Geoffrey Holder directing Stephanie Mills in The Wiz; Michael Bennett sharing a laugh with the cast of A Chorus Line. Other iconic stage figures shown in rehearsal include Liza Minneli, Chita Rivera, Jack Lemon, and Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor. Complementing the photographic display are books, magazines, calendars, and programs that featured Ms. Swope's work.

Looking through one cell of a foundation... from one side you see an inverted Y ...looking through the other side you see a normal Y.
It has been said that the inverted side always faces the center of the hive in a naturally formed comb without a starting foundation.
Is this true? And is it true that in a bee made comb you see the same inverted and normal Y?

A life changing moment for this 45 yr old . Had just left school no job ( Thatch saw to that for a while) but hey, I had my £7.50 ticket and the world was mine !!.With my dad in the RAF we had just moved to Doncaster so I had to set off on my own and hope to meet up with my mate when I got there ( life before mobiles hey ) can I just put in print now my everlasting thanks to my parents for letting me do this and were you mad!!!. ha ha .Anyway got on the bus and was off picking up more and more zep fans as we got closer to Stevenage and by luck or fate I did indeed meet up with my old school mate and pitched the tent, no sleep, bloody great. Then it was Friday and the gathering of the great unwashed and a sea of great coats , denim and afghans got up to the fence ,at about one in the morning it came down, and the long run up to the arena,bit of a crush but every one was cool and looked out for each other until they let us in and a night under the stars, I can remeber just looking at that huge stage in some sort of dream, this was broke with a huge roar of laughter ( I remember that ) as the security guards dog had a crap up on the stage.Woke to more people than I had seen in my life and the smell of dope was unbelievable (and I have been going to glastonbury for 20 years) .The sun was out , the bands and can fights came and went ,the new Barbariens eventualy left, Nicky Horn put on freebird , the lights came down and then, TWANG ,the twelve string kicks in and that mother of all screens lights up with Jimmy and thousands and thousands of flash lights go off.The rest is history and I could go on all night ,like I said at the start if you were at knebworth your life changed. Its a bit like those who come back from the wars, its hard to talk about because you can never get over just what it was like to those who didnt go and when I come across anyone who did ,there is an instant all knowing smile and nod of heads.Have gone to thousands of gigs and festival since those far off days ( including Live Aid ) but Zep knebworth 79, that was something else. Would loved to have got tickets for the 02 but hey ho , not to be, but can I just say if you were one of the chosen few can you please shout . clap , go f****ing mental for us who didnt , you are our reps ,have a fantastiv time.......oh yeah WWWWAAAALLLYYYY. peace

When somebody transforms from a decent person to a total asshole. The transformation includes thousands of rituals cast by damned beings in the atmosphere, where they choose one unlucky victim. The victim then becomes an asshole for the rest of his/her life. The abyss, doesn't help. Monsters from the abyss rise and resurrect mystic beings to then conclude and disasterize the whole operation. Meteor showers will rain down and give countless people ROFL Syndrome. Then the Hydlide begins. This isn't good. The asshole then starts shatting in people's eyeballs.

I dont want to screw it up. Can someone give me the straight skinny on how to do a split. I find conflicting advice and just want to get it broken down to some clear direction. Thanks
I dont want to screw it up. Can someone give me the straight skinny on how to do a split. I find conflicting advice and just want to get it broken down to some clear direction. Thanks
I did a split last Sunday so I'll share what I did. Maybe not correct to some beeks, but live and learn.
I first checked that I had plenty of bees in both brood boxes. I then removed the top box and set it directly beside the the bottom box on screen bottom. Some burr comb and drone brood was torn open that was between the boxes. I could almost tell immediately which box the queen was in because the queenless box was roaring while the other was fairly quiet. I then checked to see that stores of honey and pollen were in both boxes and removed two frames of brood from the bottom box and put them in the top box so brood was about even. I did not look for eggs.
I then put a feeder on them both with 1;1 sugar water with lemongrass and spearmint oils added.
I went back Wednesday to check on them and found the queen in the box I knew she would be in. They had cleaned up they comb and I was able to scrape the frames a little to clean them up. Lots of bees had hatched with more in the queenless hive. I hope they make their own queen because I want the genetics of this hive, but I do have queens to pickup at Kelleys next weekend along with a couple packages so I will give them a queen then if they don't build their own cells. Good luck with your split. John
There are a number of ways to do a split. It would be helpful if we knew how you are planning on doing it. For instance:
1. Split with queen in one box, and introduce a mated or virgin queen to the other box.
2. Split with queen in one box, and put capped queen cell into the other box.
3. If you have queen cells already in the box, then split with the queen in one box, and the queen cells in another.
4. What is termed a walk away split, where you split the hive and walk away, letting the bees in the box that did not get the queen raise their own. For this one it is important to make sure you have eggs or larvae under 3 days old in the box which does NOT get the queen. If you cannot find the queen, then make sure both boxes have eggs or unde4r 3 day old larvae.
There's a lot of variations of splits. What's your set up and what type of split are you trying to do?
Working from a deep. Don't care why type of split, never done one before. Just looking for a simple way to do it so it gets done right.
The quick and dirty method to doing a split is as follows, locate a frame of eggs without the Queen on it, and then locate the Queen herself. Set the frame with eggs and no Queen in your new box, add at least one more frame with pollen and honey to the new box. I will also normally add a frame of emerging brood as well. If you have drawn comb fill up the box, otherwise just add frames either with foundation or without, but keep the frames from the old hive together in the new hive. Set your new box in the location of the old hive.
Now setup the old hive in a new location. What you have done is split the old hive by sending the foragers into the new hive and allowing the old hive to replace them as the old Queen continues to lay unimpeded and the hatching brood to replace the foragers. Keep an eye on their stores and feed either hive if they run low. In a month you will have a new laying Queen and the old hive will have more than replaced the foragers. Hope this helps.
Thank you. Just what I was looking for.
Here is a plethora of information on various ways to do splits.

Intrepid youngsters launch an armoured assault on Fort Nelson - Monday, 8 February 2010
Youngsters are being invited to beat the February half-term blues and let off steam by joining an "Armoured Assault" session at historic Fort Nelson.
The Victorian fort at Portsdown Hill provides the backcloth to exciting assault courses on Tuesday (February 16) and Thursday (February 18) and children are invited to turn up in camouflage gear – or simply enjoy the session in "civvies".
On both days, there's a chance to climb inside and explore a tank-like vehicle, The Sexton, and watch driving and firing displays at 12noon and 2pm. The 26-tonne Sexton dates to the D-Day landings and recently helped marked the start of the £3.5 million redevelopment of the Royal Armouries museum by blowing up a bungalow at the front of the fort.
Girls as well as boys are invited to take part in the Armoured Assault sessions and entry to the fort is free. In addition, for a £2 charge, there are workshops where children can get crafty and make cardboard helmets and machine guns, and learn all about the art of successful camouflage.
Other attractions include a Junior Commando Assault Course running all day, giving youngsters a chance to let off steam with lots of energetic fun, including running, jumping and crawling, plus the firing of a 25-pounder gun at 1pm.
Fort Nelson also has secret underground tunnels and chambers to explore, hundreds of big guns and cannon, live performances, gun firings and guided tours every day.
There is no need to book in advance and the Fort's Powderkeg Café is open seven days a week offering locally-sourced food and snacks. Winter opening hours of 10.30am to 4pm apply.
You are invited to send a reporter and photographer/camera crew to either of these events at Fort Nelson.
Notes to editors

There's a thread running through today's news broadcasting -- that to one extent or another, the big three of Canadian TV news are captives of the teleprompters which sits in front of their cameras and shows them the words they're paid a lot of money to read at us. Here's a summer report card of how they're doing.

" Brand: Stockan and Gardens / Type: "
Just lately I have tried to revamp my diet a little as I found I really was eating unhealthy and as I've been rather unwell of late decided that food may play a part in all of that.
Instead of buying my favoured white bread this week I decided on getting wholemeal pittas and these oat cakes for a change!
The Packaging:
What you get is 8 large triangle oaty looking biscuits and they are wrapped in a see-through wrapper with blue, black and white writing on it and on the front of it we are told that they are Orkney Hand Made Oatcakes, Stockan's 'The goodness of fine milled oats with no added sugar' and that my pack weighs 100g and that my option was the thin option. Other information given on the packaging includes ingredients, allergy advice and nutritional information given along with contact details for the manufacturer. Easy to open and dispose of packaging this is and of course it is informative enough too.
The Oatcakes:
Well like I touched on earlier these are triangle in shape and they are thin and dry to the touch and cream in colour. They have a slightly rough texture to them and a natural pleasant aroma of oats to them.
Taste wise these are simply fabulous. They simply taste of oats and only oats really. They are crispy and crunchy and go moist in your mouth as you eat them. They taste slightly salty and have no sweetness to them at all and are really savoury. Best to add some spread on them of some kind just to moisten them up a bit and I love them with cheese and pickle on them! Not greasy, strong enough to top generously I love these and find them nicely filling too and at only 57 kcal and 0.8g of saturates they are great for my hips too!
I paid 79p a a packet for mine in Asda though they are widely available in a variety of supermarkets etc.
Tesco had sold out of Nairns Oatcakes, my preferred choice, so instead I purchased a 10g pack of Stockan & Gardens Original thin Orkney Oatcakes. They're minimalistically packed in just a layer of plastic film, much like florists film which is folded round the biscuits and sealed at the rear. The front features a the manufacturers name within a circular tartan band, a blue banner across the centre bears the legend "Orkney Oatcakes" and between the two is sandwiched a line drawing of The Old Man of Hoy, a 137m high red sandstone stack protruding from the sea off the island of Hoy and clearly visible from miles around.
The oatcakes in question are 66% oatmeal with vegetable oil, wheat flour, rasing agents and salt. Most unusually they're handbaked at The Granary in Stromness. A 100g pack contains 453 calories. As there are 8 biscuits in a pack this makes them 57 calories each, about a third less than a McVities Chocolate digestive.
The packaging is easy to open although no matter how carefully you do it it tears and cannot be reused so you'll either need to eat the entire packet or find somewhere airtight to store them as they go soggy after a few days in the open. Each biscuit is a quarter circle, triangular with a curved edge, making them rather pretty to look at and very practical too as you can put four on a small plate without any overlapping or falling off. They're very thin and very very crumbly and they smell delicious. Buttery but with a hint of oats. No surprise there. What comes as a surprise after the coarser Nairns Oatcakes is these melt on your tongue without the need to chew. Usually you masticate much like a cow to eat any oatcake.
The downside to this is that if you add sloppy toppings like cottage cheese the biscuits become very soggy and collapse rather easily mid bite which is potentially very embarasing in company. With cheese though they're lovely. Unfortunately after an entire pack I don't feel like I've eaten anything substantial, perhaps thats down to the lack of chewing required.
A 100g pack retails for 25p in larger branches of Tesco.
If you set off from Essex and drive north for about 2 solid days you will eventually reach the top of the north coast of Scotland- you'll need an overnight stay though and then it's a short sea crossing over to Orkney. If you can't manage that you could cut the drive short and board a ferry from Aberdeen or you could just fly from Glasgow.
All that driving and all that time is well worth it just for the experience of visiting a place which is not only one of the most beautiful but also one steeped in history.
The islands are situated where the North Sea and the Atlantic Ocean meet, and there are 70 islands in the chain, about 21 currently inhabited. The islands have a population of 20,000, 7600 live in Kirkwall, and another 2100 live in Stromness where the famous Stockan and Garden oatcakes are made.
I had the joy of visiting these islands recently and was so in love with the wild coastlines and the way these people make their living on the land and in cottage industries which flourish. The land is flat and fertile and cows graze on lush pastures and provide milk for the famous Orkney cheese and ice cream making it a very different place to the Western Isles which would not support agriculture on this scale. However for this review I want to tell you about some of my favourite Orkney oatcakes made by Stockan and Garden.
I don't know about you but I have a love hate relationship with crispbreads and all manner of bread alternatives. I stock up on them thinking I'll have them for lunch, and they often languish in my dry cupboard always taking second place to a nice crusty loaf.
However these oatcakes and some I have also found from Shetland are different because they are large and substantial.
They are shaped in a large triangle which gives them plenty of room to be adorned with lovely toppings. I use cottage cheese if I am feeling like being slimming (not very often!) hummus works well and if you are not veggie you could use Salmon-the possibilities are endless.
The oatcakes come in 5 different options-Thick, Thin, Cheese, Garlic and No Sugar. I don't personally like smelling of garlic but many people would like these. The thin ones are lovely and they have a good flavour but I do prefer the thick variety and often buy these as they are more earthy.
One of the main reasons I like to buy these is also because supporting industries in remote areas has always been of great importance to me, and you can make such a difference to companies like these by purchasing their products regularly.
Made in Stromness these oatcakes are all hand baked to a traditional Orkney recipe and they contain no hydrogenated fats at all. The history of the company dates back 100 years to 1912 when a gentleman called Gilbert Archer, who was the grandfather of the present chairman, purchased the Kirkwall bakery and gardens. In 1986 it amalgamated with the Stromness Oatcake Company and the outcome was the present brand of these delicious oatcakes.
Another interesting fact is that during the war in the building where these oatcakes are made, this was the broken bulk store which supplied many of the stores for the army camps. Pepper would have to be weighed out in pounds which no doubt caused a few sneezes!
Availability of these is quite good and Asda is the cheapest place you will find them where for just 34p you can buy a 100g packet of the thin ones. The thick sell for 88p for 200g. I also buy mine from the local farm shop here in Essex and they are very widely available of course in Scotland.
Calories they are 453 per 100g for the thin and slightly more 476 for the thick ones (though the thin ones are 100g packets so it would require you to eat them all to consume all of these which I doubt you would.) Of course oats are great for helping to mop up cholesterol so these are a healthy snack and full of fibre.
If you would like to buy them mail order you can do so here.
The Orkneys are an Aladdin's cave of goodies and you can also sample their delicious ice cream made from the rich creamy Orkney milk, and their cheese and fudge is also out of this world.
So if you would like to try these delicious oatcakes then I can highly recommend them.
I eat mine and can see the waves and the beaches lying peacefully up there and think of their idyllic life away from the rat race..

Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Yes, quilt shop in Juneau and and Ireally like the one in Skagway. Take the train trip to Whitehorse in the Yukon Territory. Gold Rush history is interesting. Our daughter was a National Park Ranger at Glacier Bay and it is fascinating. We saw bears and whales and ravens, etc. If you can taste nagoon berry pie, delicious, and enjoy all the seafood. Of course there are wild flowers everywhere and huge gardens with all the sunshine. Bell peppers the size of grapefruits, cabbages like baskets, wonderful fresh veggies of all kinds. We were fine in September with shorts and t-shirts, but bring a rain jacket. Golf courses reminded me of Scotland, mountains much bigger than any here in Colorado, friendly people, souvenirs abound. Check out the totem poles and ivory carvings. Learn to speak a bit of Tlinket, pet a few sled dogs and take many, many photos. Please let us know about your trip when you return.
Caongrats on 40 years, that is a landmark. I lived in Juneau for 30 years, so here are my suggestions. Clothing: be ready for anything. Your are going at the best possible time to get in some very nice weather, however this year my friends in Juneau have had a very long and hard winter, slow spring and it has been cooler than normal. Dressing in layers is the best suggestion, but do take both cool and warm weather clothing. Believe it or not, it can get very warm on sunny days, evenings will cool down. Almost all the towns on the panhandle now have quilt shops and all are worth a visit. For tours, check out the Tracey Arm tours in Juneau, it's excellent but takes a bit of time. Lots of Salmon bakes along the route too. If you go to Skagway, try the train tour. Enjoy and I'm wishing the best for you weather wise. Most beautiful country in the world on a sunny day!!!!
We have done 3 trips to Alaska, one on Holland America and I am redy to go back. You will need a varity of clothes, so take things you can layer, and some toss away rain ponchos. We have had 90 degree weather in July and 45 on the same trip. Enjoy and congratulations on your 40 years. That was our first trip. We just did 51 years on the 26th.
If you are going into Denali pack mosquito repellant. I kept a rain coat on with tight sleeves and a hood and pulled tight around my face. The mosquitos were fierce.
You didn't say WHEN you are going. Alaska has only two seasons, summer and winter. June is a bad mosquito month, July and early August tend to be the warmest times, but in August the rains begin. Last year my 11 year old granddaughter told me last year that "next year" she wants to make a quilt that celebrates autumn leaves because they don't have them in Alaska! The grandkids came down this week (to California) and tell us there is still snow on the ground now (and at this time 3 years ago it was really warm!). Try to understand the basketball games that start at midnight, family picnics in the park from 10pm to 1am... (drove us crazy on our first trip!) Don't try to stay awake for them. Alaskans can sleep more in winter and very little in summer, but it takes time to be able to do that. Hope you get to Denali, it is really beautiful! The train from Seward (or Anchorage) to Denali (or Fairbanks) is a treat (it passes a lot of homesteads because being near the track is a bonus for getting out to get groceries, etc.).
"The best part about Anchorage is that it is only a half hour from Alaska." There are fabric stores just about in every town. My favorite is in Kenai... and they do feature their native state in their fabrics! Probably most of them do. Enjoy!
Congratulations on 40 years! You will love Alaska, all the clothing advice is true - you don't know what you get until you get here. Be prepared, and you'll be more comfortable to enjoy what lays ahead. Not only is Alaska very beautiful, but each little town has some great places to visit. One warning: the cruise ship lines may tell the passengers that our little towns have nothing to see. On behalf of all the little towns in Alaska, there is something wonderful and unique here, and the majority of little towns have gems to find, such as really great quilt shops! Cruise lines may want you to direct your attention to activities with companies with which they have contracted. If you branch out, you might well find something unique, and less packaged. Whatever you do, and whichever ports you will be visiting, welcome to Alaska!
We took a cruise to Alaska this time last year. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful. Took us 10 years to save for it but well worth every minute. My favorite part was a surprise that no one was told about; we went through Glacier Bay!!! I know you will really love what ever you do. Alaska is so beautiful. Happy, happy 40 anniversary. By the way, I can have my suitcase packed is a few minutes (hint hint)LOL
I've lived in various places in Alaska since 1977--always pack a light jacket and expect to run into rain. The exterior can be hotter and the areas closest to the water cooler and windier. Most communities have quilt shops now. The mama moose are now appearing with calves. Trees have leaves and flowers beginning to show. Bug spray is a good idea but that can be purchased anywhere. Enjoy your trip.

Fire in Maple Township, no injuries
Fire destroyed a machine shed on the property of Bill Tulenchik in Maple Township on Monday, Jan. 21.
Fire departments from Pine River, Backus, Pequot Lakes, Nisswa and Ideal Corners responded to the fire call at 12:23 p.m. on Cass County Road 17 south of Pine River. The fire was under control by 2:30 p.m.
The fire resulted in no injuries, but the property owner did sustain significant losses as the 50-foot by 80-foot shed housed a pickup truck, welding supplies, a silage wagon and various pieces of heavy equipment. Pine River Fire Chief Kevin Kleiner said approximately 2,800 gallons of water were used to extinguish the fire.
In spite of frigid temperatures and strong winds, firefighters fought to prevent the fire from spreading to another building roughly six feet from the machine shed. That structure was preserved.
"The ability to save that structure was a plus for the day," Kleiner said.
In addition to strong winds and impenetrable smoke, below zero temperatures complicated the situation by icing up air masks and equipment.
"If you get any amount of water on you it's going to turn to ice," Kleiner said. "The wind chills, definitely, you definitely want to ask the firefighters more often if they want to go warm up because it's pretty miserable."
The fire chief said the cause of the fire is still being investigated.

- won't you celebrate with me by Lucille Clifton
Writing Ideas
1. How do you define yourself? Write a poem that defines the "kind of life" you've made for yourself, choosing examples that suggest how you feel about your place in your family, your community, and your country.
2. What Clifton initially suggests is a celebration seems, by the poem's end, to be a struggle for survival: "come celebrate / with me that everyday / something has tried to kill me / and has failed." What struggles have you faced and emerged triumphant from? Use Clifton's final line as a point of departure for your own poem of resistance.
Discussion Questions
1. The speaker concludes the poem by explaining that she is celebrating "that everyday / something has tried to kill me / and has failed." What has tried to kill the speaker?
2. Though Clifton claims she "had no model" in shaping her life, she draws from several literary models to write her poem, including Walt Whitman's "Song of Myself," the Bible, and the sonnet form. What does referring to these texts suggest about Clifton's struggle and the poem's meaning?
3. In her opening lines, Clifton draws on Walt Whitman's poem "Song of Myself," in which he writes, "I celebrate myself, and sing myself." How is Clifton's celebration similar to or different from Whitman's?
4. Clifton's poem is a sonnet. In what ways is it like other sonnets you may have read? In what ways is it different? Why might using a non-traditional approach to the form (free verse, little punctuation, and no capitalization) be appropriate to her subject matter here?
Teaching Tips
1. Show your students Clifton's reading of the poem and share their observations of the poet's presentation. How did her reading add to or challenge their interpretation of the poem?
2. Have students explore the poem by writing it out as sentences, examining the impact of line break, the choice of agent and action, and the use of punctuation. Ask them to describe one or more of these choices in a sentence that weaves Clifton's text into an interpretive statement about this sonnet.
3. Before reading, share images of Michelangelo's Creation of Adam from the Vatican Museum and explore what it means to "create" in the context of the famous fresco on the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel. After reading, have students discuss the difference between Michelangelo's representation of two hands in the act of creation and the image of Clifton's speaker's hands.

Lucille Clifton: "won't you celebrate with me"
Poem Guide
The making of a poem is a lot like the making of a self: it requires awareness, understanding, and a willingness to consider how we're shaped by our cultural context, our influences, and our language. A poem about the making of a self, like Lucille Clifton's "won't you celebrate with me," gives us an even closer opportunity to consider these concerns—and the ways in which a poem, and a self, can be cobbled together.
"won't you celebrate with me" begins with a question that seems part invitation, part plea:
won't you celebrate with me
what i have shaped into
a kind of life? i had no model.
Her tone is almost timid and apologetic. Rather than ask us as readers to celebrate "the life" she's made, the speaker asks us to celebrate "a kind of life" she's shaped. That small qualification ("a kind") suggests the differences the speaker sees between the lives of others and her own emerging self-consciousness, and offers a glimpse into the poem's real concern: the process of developing self-awareness.
While she claims to have "no model" for the self she's constructed, the poem draws on several sources to explore its themes of identity, race, and gender. One of these sources, the biblical Psalm 137, "By the waters of Babylon," presents an illuminating parallel to Clifton's poem.
A hymn expressing the yearnings of the Jews exiled by the Babylonian conquest of Jerusalem in 586 BCE, the psalm's tone echoes Clifton's own disbelief and indignation:
By the rivers of Babylon we sat and wept
when we remembered Zion.
There on the poplars
we hung our harps,
for there our captors asked us for songs,
our tormentors demanded songs of joy;
they said, "Sing us one of the songs of Zion!"
How can we sing the songs of the LORD
while in a foreign land?
Unlike the ancient Israelites exiled to Babylon, Clifton's speaker was "born in babylon," with no memory of a homeland:
born in babylon
both nonwhite and woman
what did i see to be except myself?
For Clifton, to be "born in Babylon" is emblematic of the legacy of exile and difference she's inherited. In the 1960s, when this poem was written, the struggles of the civil rights movement awakened a new sense of self-awareness for African Americans, generations of whom had experienced both an historical exile from Africa and a metaphorical exile from the so-called American Dream.
As an African American poet born in Depew, New York, in 1936, Clifton would have been keenly aware of these resonances, having experienced segregation and racism firsthand. The anger and humiliation she may have felt comes across in the way the speaker positions herself in relation to the world, as she offers reasons for her faltering sense of identity. She defines herself as both "nonwhite" (as opposed to the more affirmative term "black") and a "woman," which is to say identified by her gender, not character. Race and gender both become points of difference—and defiance—in the poem.
Another model for Clifton's self-portrayal here comes from Walt Whitman, whose "Song of Myself" offers a quintessential portrait of American self-determination and individualism. Like Whitman, who proclaims, "I celebrate myself, and sing myself, / And what I assume you shall assume," Clifton adopts a confident and declarative first-person stance:
i made it up
here on this bridge between
starshine and clay,
Unlike Whitman, whose long lines allow him to stretch out and envision himself as part of the larger universe (declaiming "every atom of my blood, form'd from this soil, this air"), Clifton sees her universe as contracting, not expanding. She's almost earthbound, compressed "between / starshine and clay," while becoming smaller (like her shortened lines), even down to the level of syntax. Clifton's consistent use of the lowercase (a stylistic signature of all her poems) helps convey this sense of smallness. Without capital letters of any kind, it's immediately clear that Clifton's words and ideas aren't bound by conventional rules. Her lowercase "i" is especially representative of a self-image whose confidence and independence are challenged. When she writes, "i made it up," she's speaking about her identity and her approach to writing.
Seen here, the poem's first image ("this bridge between / starshine and clay") also marks the beginning of a turn in the poem's progression of ideas, not unlike the turn in a sonnet (another one of Clifton's unspoken models). Like a sonnet, Clifton's 14 lines move from rhetoric to image, argument to resolution. Her free-verse interpretation of the form, though, speaks back to the tradition and its studied history, by deviating from its norms. Clifton's "between / starshine and clay," for example, revises a line from Keats's sonnet "On Sitting Down to Read King Lear Once Again," in which he locates himself "Betwixt damnation and impassion'd clay."
As the speaker gathers strength from her experience and greater confidence in her ability to stand alone, Clifton's language becomes more vivid, inventive, and lovely. Clifton's spiritual ("starshine") and worldly (clay") understanding is now, literally, in her own hands:
my one hand holding tight
my other hand;
(Here, Clifton nods again to Whitman's "Song of Myself," riffing off a passage in which Whitman calls attention to his self-reliance: "I went myself first to the headland, my own hands carried me / there.") Clifton, literally and metaphorically here, takes her life into her own hands.
The use of the semicolon ("my other hand;") at this point in the poem arrests the flow of ideas and shifts the focus back to the reader, this time not with a question but with an imperative:
come celebrate
with me that everyday
something has tried to kill me
and has failed.
This variation on the poem's opening changes the tone of the celebration. Unlike Psalm 137, whose darkly ironic ending is bittersweet ("O Daughter of Babylon, doomed to destruction, / happy is he who repays you / for what you have done to us— // he who seizes your infants / and dashes them against the rocks."), Clifton's poem presents the speaker's survival in the face of mortal danger as a triumph to be celebrated.
What was at first a tentative request ("won't you celebrate with me") is now an assertive demand. Knowing that "everyday / something" has tried to kill the speaker and failed, we have a new insight into the source of her pride, and also a guide to a particular process of self-understanding.

A prolific and widely respected poet, Lucille Clifton's work emphasizes endurance and strength through adversity, focusing particularly on African-American experience and family life. Awarding the prestigious Ruth Lilly Poetry Prize to Clifton in 2007, the judges remarked that "One always feels the looming humaneness around Lucille Clifton's poems—it is a moral quality that some poets have and some don't." In addition to the Ruth Lilly prize, Clifton was the first author to have two books of poetry chosen as finalists for the Pulitzer Prize, Good Woman: Poems and a Memoir, 1969-1980 (1987) and Next: New Poems (1987). Her collection Two-Headed Woman (1980) was also a Pulitzer nominee and won the Juniper Prize from the University of Massachusetts.

Brantley Gilbert Is Already ?Halfway To Heaven?!
by Admin
posted Oct 9 2011 12:00AM
Another great CD just dropped September 13th – Brantley Gilbert's "Halfway to Heaven Deluxe". Brantley is not only an excellent country-rock artist but a songwriter as well having songs recorded by Jasen Aldean and Colt Ford. He released two albums under Average Joe's Entertainment Group before joining Valory Music Group (a division of Big Machine Records) and charting in the top 20's with "Country Must Be Country Wide". Brantley's a southern boy with firm roots in Jefferson, GA where he was born and raised and has no plans to leave any time soon. He is mannerly and charming and firmly rooted close to his Mama and his doggie, having purchased land in a small town close by – Maysville GA where he plans to settle down.
Brantley co-wrote Jason Aldean's "My Kinda Party" and the now popular "Dirt Road Anthem" for Jason's album so he is already a successful song writer. Listening to this CD he is going to be a very successful vocalist as well.
There's some great guitar in this album and in the opening song "Hell On Wheels" sung in a husky, southern whiskey-bent voice. This is a song about how the big boys run from John Law with duct tape on the license plate – booze and running down the road sideways with lightnin' in a jar and a 6-gun in the dash. Move over Bo Duke and make room for a real outlaw! Love this song – run that moonshine boys!
"My Kinda Crazy" spotlights Brantley in a different tone and voice – softer and sexier – singing about his love for his lady. She's too cute to get on his last nerve as she dances in front of the TV like a rock star, tries to drive the stick shift and keeps him up all night stealing covers from his side. I like this side of Brantley as well as the outlaw side – he pulls off both personas perfectly.
The title song "Halfway to Heaven" is also a ballad that is softer and has very thought-provoking words to this song. It's about crashing the truck into a tree when drinking too much and thinking it was the end. Hanging on by a thread – in other words "Halfway to Heaven". It's about living one's life a different way once you've been there – hugging Mama and Daddy, going to church every Sunday now and hanging out with his younger brother more. Brantley was a co-writer on this song and proves he has deep roots in faith and life.
The CD is a mixture of devil and lace, love and sin, moonshine and wine. He mixes it up with suggestions of outlaws, booze and wild days beside love ballads and the softer side of life and living. Brantley has a unique talent here – he walks on both sides of life in this album as well as right down the middle. I enjoy the mix-up of tunes and talent and I firmly believe you will as well. Great songwriting, vocals and instrumentals make this album one to own.
The CD rounds out with "Bendin' The Rules and Breakin' The Law", "Back In The Day", "Kick It In The Sticks", "Savin' Amy", "Country Must Be Country Wide", "Take It Outside", "Them Boys", "Fall Into Me", "More Than Miles", "You Don't Know Her Like I Do" and "Hell On An Angel" and "Dirt Road Anthem" sung by Brantley and Colt Ford, so you will hear a different version of this song! You get plenty of bang for your buck on this 15-song CD – well worth the money. Find Brantley at
as well as Facebook.

My neighbor decided that he didnt want his hive any more and I agreed to adopt it. He hasn't given the hive any attention in at least 6 months. Im not sure if he has even taken the top off during this time. Im a new to beekeeping though i do have bees on order that will arrive in the next few weeks. In any case, I went out to check the neighbors hive today expecting to find honey to harvest as I live in Austin Texas and have heard that bee keepers often harvest honey by this time in the year. What I found, though, was a crowded and somewhat aggressive colony with no honey. Some of the comb seemed to be irregular in form. I did see a few spots that had nectar and were uncapped but it was pretty sparse. I took several photos. Can anyone with experience, especially in central Texas look at the photos and give me your best assessment of the situation? Is this normal? Will there likely be honey later in the summer? Is there anything I can do to help this hive out?

Platform: PSP
Developer: KOEI Co. Ltd.
Ship Date: PSP Launch
Category: Tactical Action
Players: 1
ESRB Rating: "RP" (Rating Pending)
Sound Peripherals: MEMORY STICK DUO™
Online: None
For the first time on any handheld game system, players will experience the thrill of fighting single-handedly against legions of powerful enemy soldiers in historic battles that shaped the Chinese empire. Based on Luo Guanzhong's historic novel, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, the Dynasty Warriors® series of Tactical Action games takes players back in time when chaos ruled Ancient China. In the game, players are equipped with powerful weapons and their strategic wits. They must fight their way through grand battlefields populated with hordes of enemy warriors With it's addictive gameplay, the Dynasty Warriors series has generated nearly 7 million units in sales worldwide, since being released for PlayStation game consoles in 1997.
With previous console-based Dynasty Warriors games, the player was free to roam about one vast battlefield. Some stages could take more than 30 minutes to complete. This would not be convenient in a mobile gaming environment. So in the PSP version of Dynasty Warriors, each stage is divided into a network of smaller "Battlefield Areas" (BA), with each area holding a different degree of strategic importance. These areas influence each other and change according to the battle situation. If the player wins in one area, the victory may create a positive influence in other areas (i.e. increased morale). Or if an allied army retreats, this may decrease allied morale. As a result, the player must be aware of the status of each BA, decide an appropriate battle policy and lead his army to victory.
In previous Dynasty Warriors games, the purpose of a bodyguard was to provide direct support to the player. Dynasty Warriors for PSP is endowing the bodyguard with new extra abilities. In this new system, playable characters have a fixed leadership "point" level. At the beginning of each battle, leadership points can be used to select up to four "second-in-command" officers. Lower level officers use fewer leadership points, while more capable "second-in-command" officers require more leadership points. This new system will add replay value. Dynasty Warriors for PSP will include rare "second-in-command" officers that can be acquired only by meeting specific conditions. Furthermore, players can exchange collected "second-in-command" officers via MEMORY STICK DUO™.

Drink in the Smoky Mountains
Herren House Bed & Breakfast • Waynesville, NC
Escape Kit
- A Two-Night Stay for Two in a King or Queen Room
- Bottle of Wine and Homemade Treats in Room
- Discount Shopping Book for Downtown Retailers
Sipping a mug of mulled wine as the moon rises over the Great Smoky Mountains, it's easy to feel intoxicated with your surroundings. Good thing there's no prohibition of pleasures on an Escape to the Herren House Bed & Breakfast.
Even teetotalers will fall under the influence of this Asheville-area inn's Victorian charms. Located in the heart of downtown Waynesville, the Herren House boasts a colorful history as one of the longest-running boarding houses in the area (since 1897). Each king or queen room has been lovingly restored with many of the original features, including solid oak floorings and claw-foot bathtubs.
Stay for two nights and arrive to a bottle of wine and homemade treats ($175). Awake to the inebriating aroma of fresh-brewed coffee emanating from the dining room, where you'll feast on such decadent dishes as chocolate French toast topped with whipped cream and strawberries or crab eggs Benedict smothered in homemade hollandaise sauce. Sleep off the impending stupor with a mid-morning nap, or leave the house in high spirits for a day of exploration on the Blue Ridge Parkway.
Winding its way through nearly 500 miles of Great Smoky Mountains National Park, the parkway passes mountain meadows, historic farmsteads, and burbling streams packed with freshwater trout. After an afternoon exploring old-growth forests and endless vistas by hiking or biking, stop in for some liquid refreshment at a spot in downtown Waynesville and browse the stores with your discount shopping book in hand.
With so many delights to drink in, missing out on this scenic Escape should be a sobering thought.
"Michelle made a delicious breakfast each morning of our three-day stay, and we were able to walk to fabulous restaurants for dinner each night. Downtown Waynesville has many excellent shops and is convenient to numerous outdoor activities."-- TripAdvisor

Four advance to state speech contest
The Section 6A Speech Tournament on Saturday, April 13, marked the end of a long and successful season for many on the Pequot Lakes speech team, but the season isn't over for four team members.
Luke Fyle (senior), Marissa Miller (senior), Abby Person (eighth grade) and Angela Cole (junior) will compete Saturday, April 20, at the Class A State Tournament at Blaine High School. They qualified for state by placing in the top three of their respective categories.
Fyle and Miller took second place in Dramatic Duo. Person placed third in Extemporaneous Reading. Cole was third in Prose.
Each contestant spoke in three preliminary rounds of competition. The scores they received from these rounds were totaled to determine who would speak in a final competition round. Final ranking was determined by adding the scores from all four rounds of speaking.
For Fyle, Miller and Cole, competing at state is no new accomplishment. Fyle has attended three times and Miller and Cole have both gone twice. Cole placed sixth place in Prose at last year's state tournament.
This will be Person's first time competing at state.
Other members of the team competed in the Section final rounds but did not earn a place at State. Ben Sullivan took sixth place in Prose, and Katie Northenscold was fifth in Creative Expression.

Where I stayed
Flora Blanca Hostel
Things that have happened:
1. Our group missed the 6 A.M. bus to Quepos and had to take a later collective (Rather than a direct) bus. We stood for about the first 2 hours of the 5 hour ride.
2. We made it to Manuel Antonio National Park. We saw two types of monkeys, iguanas, and a sloth.
3. We hiked to Playa Escondido (Hidden Beach), that is only accessible when the tide is low
4. We toured a gorgeous hotel with incredible views. Check out the pictures for that.
5. Eight of us white water rafted through the jungle. It was probably one of the most incredible activities of my life thus far. The views made it seem as if we were in a movie the entire trip. We saw hidden waterfalls, wildlife, and a bridge that the indigenous indians use to come out of the jungle. Our guide stopped and let us cliff jump into the river and then float a few hundred yards downstream through a slot canyon.
6. Our class toured the Dos Pinos processing factory. Dos Pinos is the largest distributor of diary products in Costa Rica. It was sorta boring, but we did get samples of ice cream at the end.
7. On the 4 hour return trip from Quepos our public bus driver texted while he was driving down the dark highway... at least we survived.
We are now headed to Monteverde Cloud Forest and Arenal Volcano for our final weekend in Costa Rica. Hopefully I will take more photos and update my blog a final time on Sunday or Monday. HOME SWEET HOME ON TUESDAY!

text: I hived my first package about a month ago. They WERE doing fine, but I think I really screwed up today. About 7 frames were reasonably full of comb but 3 outer frames seemed untouched (nothing but foundation). So, I thought I will disperse those frames into the center (put each empty frame between a couple of full ones). Now I am reading that was a really dumb thing to do. I am going this alone and if I have read not to do this, I certainly don't remember. I would have thought nothing of it had I not thought to look here tonight. So, given I have already done this, should I go back in and try to correct my mistake tomorrow or just watch and wait and see what happens? Is there anything I can do to help this situation? Finally, have I killed my hive? There was evidence that I have had some successful hatch (open cells that were closed off last week). Oh, I also added a medium super to give more room up top. Now I am thinking I shouldn't have done that either.

Chad Ford's final 2014 mock
Chad Ford lines up two rounds of picks in his final NBA mock draft
Editor's note: The mock was updated at 7:00 PM ET
It's draft day, baby!
After 364 days of scouting, physicals, interviews, workouts, thousands of hours of watching tape and endless debates on the pros and cons of certain players in the draft ... we are finally here.
Now, I only wish NBA front offices were. Believe it or not, teams are still firming up their draft boards, still arguing and, of course, still fielding trade calls. Some teams won't make up their minds until the night of the draft.
I've spent dozens of hours on the phone the past few days trying to sift through the flak to get an accurate read of what's happening. Here's my best stab on how the draft might play out tonight. (I will continue to update this mock throughout the day as we receive new info.)
Remember: this is not a ranking of the top players -- that's my Big Board. It's a reporting tool to convey our latest intel from NBA scouts and general managers on what each team might do in the draft.
Here we go:
Update: This pick has shifted numerous times in the mock. On Wednesday, Jeff Goodman and I reported that the Cavs' front office is leaning strongly toward Jabari Parker and owner Dan Gilbert was blown away with the Wiggins workout in Cleveland and was leaning in that direction. Gilbert has denied there is a rift between him and his front office, and the signals, frankly, are pointing in both directions.
The question, however, is whether they keep the pick. Multiple teams, including the Sixers, Magic, Jazz and Celtics, are trying to get up to No. 1. The Magic traded Aaron Afflalo to the Nuggets on Thursday morning, effectively ending their bid for the No. 1 pick. The Cavs are asking for picks No. 3, 10 and 32 from the Sixers for No. 1. That might be too steep a price to pay. The Celtics are also considered to be in the mix for this pick.
If the offer gets good enough, look for the Cavs to take it, move down a few spots, take Joel Embiid and walk away with several other assets as they make their move to lure LeBron James back to Cleveland this summer.
The Bucks always have had a slight preference for Parker. They need the scoring and the maturity in the locker room, and, frankly, they just need to get this pick right, and Parker is the surest thing in the draft. If Parker falls to them here, they will be thrilled. I can't imagine they'll pass on him. He wants to be in Milwaukee, and the Bucks want him there. They haven't been as high on Wiggins. However, Wiggins' strong workouts in Santa Barbara last week and in Milwaukee this week have cemented their resolve to take Wiggins if the Cavs take Parker.
The Bucks also have a strong affinity for Dante Exum, and he's still in the picture at No. 2. Exum really wants to be in Milwaukee, and that means a lot to the Bucks. But the chances of Exum going No. 2 seem to have decreased quite a bit. The Bucks believe in him, but they think Wiggins has an even higher ceiling.
The Bucks also are getting their fair share of trade offers. The Sixers, Magic and Jazz all called them, as well, offering similar packages. But it looks unlikely the Bucks are going to trade this pick. They need a franchise player and don't believe they'll get one later in the draft. Look for the Bucks to be very active, however, in acquiring a second first-round pick -- preferably a lottery pick.

I'm working with a team of woodworkers in Haiti who are learning to make bee equipment for my apiary and eventually for mass production and sale. The frames have proven to be the most difficult, due to limited equipment. I have 2 questions:
1: Can someone give me a link for some good schematics for foundationless frames that don't require too much routing and jointing? (Preferably Narrow Frames--1 1/4 inch)
2: How important is it for the side bars to be notched or tapered from top to bottom? Can I just make them straight or will that cause real traffic problems in the hive?

Exchange Launch Means Website Problems
AMMON, Idaho - In the first 24 hours of the health insurance exchanges launching online, there were 4.7 million visitors to the website.
Three days after the exchanges open, eastern Idahoans trying to access the website said all they've seen are error messages, frozen screens, and technical glitches.
Teresa Baird who is looking for insurance met with insurance broker Rudy Ballard to buy a health insurance plan.
Baird has been trying to browse the policies for the past three days, but all she's done is wait in front of a screen.
"Yesterday it was two and half hours," said Baird.
Today she hopes for a better outcome with a little help.
After asking a few questions Ballard found our Baird's insurance won't cost much.
"Yeah, not only will you have cheap inexpensive insurance your claims will also be covered. that's pretty cool," said Ballard.
Ballard said if you fall in between a certain income bracket your insurance will be cheap.
"Normally for a single person it's between $25,000 and $35,000. A family of four or family of six right around $38,000 to $45,000 range. That's your sweet spot," said Ballard.
Ballard and Baird tried to get past the login screen, but they were unable to.
Executive director of Your Health Idaho, Amy Dowd, said they are aware of the problems people are having.
"We've received reports additional server capacity has been added and performance will improve but i don't have any idea when exactly that will happen."
Dowd added, even though there is a lot of frustration there is plenty of time until the December 15th deadline to shop around.

A description of how CU-Boulders Integrated Teaching and Learning Laboratory was developed might read a little like the Gettysburg Address with the addition of the word student: of the students, by the students and for the students.
The three-story, 34,000 square foot laboratory is intended primarily for use by undergraduate engineering students and this semester is being used for freshmen, sophomore and junior courses.
The one-of-a-kind lab came about primarily through the efforts of engineering students who were not content to wait until their junior and senior years for more hands-on course and lab work.
From an engineering perspective, lab classes are good because they give you a feeling for what youre learning, and if youre a visual learner, ITLL can help you learn faster and better, said Eric Peers, an electrical and computer engineering senior who has worked since his sophomore year on the labs development. Peers chairs the Undergraduate Excellence Fund, a student-controlled fund that contributed $478,000 toward the labs $11 million construction cost and an additional $772,000 toward project planning and curriculum development. The student fund contributed $1.25 million to ITLL during the last five years.
According to Peers, the assistive technology section of the First Year Projects class -- now meeting in ITLL -- is helping students learn theory and technical skills, like how to build circuits. It also allows students to work across disciplines so that electrical and mechanical engineering majors learn how to work together on projects, an experience that cannot be duplicated in a traditional lecture course.
Jackie Sullivan, co-director of ITLL, said students were an integral part of the buildings planning and design, which is reflected in the building. ITLL is totally student-centered. It doesnt have faculty offices and it was designed so that a maximum amount of space is student-usable, which is about 85 percent of the building.
Not only did students work on the ITLL Curriculum Task Force, which drove the buildings design, they also made changes to the architects drawings, took time off from summer jobs for design open houses and met with legislators to promote state funding of the lab.
In 1991 the Board of Regents approved the plan by engineering students to levy an additional $100 per student per semester, phased in over a four-year period, to improve the engineering curriculum and to upgrade labs. The goal was to keep coursework and equipment up-to-date, thereby improving students marketability when they graduate, Peers said.
The Undergraduate Excellence Fund, or UEF, raises about $750,000 annually and is controlled by a committee of 9 students, three faculty and an associate engineering dean.
ITLL shifts the emphasis away from lectures to lab projects, which give you an objective and force you to attain that objective, Peers said. Thats good because you learn a lot in the process.
Lab classes also are harder for students, Peers said, because you dont have all the answers and you really have to think and spend more time. And you have to come in and work outside of class time.
For junior Elizabeth LeBlanc, the First Year Projects Class was the one that helped her decide to major in mechanical engineering. First Year Projects will be the largest course offered in ITLL next fall with eight sections in a variety of subjects and disciplines.
I had chosen to be an architectural engineering major, but that class helped me decide to switch to mechanical engineering. I met other people who were majoring in mechanical engineering and I realized that I thought more the way they did, said LeBlanc, a member of the UEF board and president of the University of Colorado Engineering Council, the student government.
The interdisciplinary nature of the ITLL is really a key part of the facility because in the real world, you would never just work only with mechanical engineers, LeBlanc said. It also helps you to learn to think differently because in all the engineering disciplines, people do think very differently, she said.
Another benefit of the ITLL is that students get to see what their peers are doing at different grade levels. One of the ideas is to let freshmen see what the sophomores are doing because its such an open environment, LeBlanc said.
The lab has 30 work stations for 60 teams of two to four students located on two levels of the building, two breakout rooms for brief meetings of faculty and students, and 10 group-study rooms where student teams can meet to discuss and plan their class projects. It also has several student lounges where impromptu meetings are encouraged and several other rooms for special purposes.
Another important feature of ITLL is natural light thanks to an abundance of windows, which students requested. When its fully open this will be a highly used building because the rest of the engineering center has very few windows, said LeBlanc.

text: I know people have brought this up before but I couldn't find the threads. My 10 year High School Reunion is in a week and a half. I have been back and forth about whether or not to attend but I finally decided I would go. It is a 3 hour trip but I still have family there so I have a place to stay and get to see family as an added bonus. Sometimes I feel embarrassed to go because it has been 10 years and I am just now in my final semester of college and I currently have no job. I don't think that is what I feel like telling people when they ask what I have been up to. I know there is more to it than just that but I don't feel like telling everyone every detail from the last 10 years, haha. For those that have been: Was it fun? Did it feel like a competition of who has become the most successful since HS or was everyone just happy to see each other and catch up? I was also scared to go because I wasn't sure who of my closest friends would be there. Now I got in contact and found out most of them are going so the people I mainly want to see will be there after all, some of them I haven't seen but once since HS! I am excited and nervous at the same time but I miss my old friends so I don't want to regret missing this chance to see them.
