Meatless Zucchini Lasagna
Lasagna has always been a dish that my family saves for special occasions. We have been eating it on Christmas day for as long as I can remember. With summer being in full swing giving me an excess amount of zucchini and craving my mom's Christmas day meal, I decided to make a lightened up summer version of the dish. I have to admit, I kind of felt like I was cheating on the holidays as I ate this delicious meal in the summer heat. Just my way of celebrating Christmas in July :)
Meatless Zucchini Lasagna
- 4 small zucchini
- 1 cup of your favorite tomato sauce
- 8 oz of Morningstar Farms Meal Starters (I am seriously loving these things!)
- 1 cup of low fat or fat free cottage cheese
- 1 small red onion
- 3-4 fresh basil leaves
- 1 Tbsp garlic salt (divided)
- 1 tsp oregano (divided)
- 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 3 oz low fat string cheese (or mozzarella)
- 9×11 glass baking dish
First, place a pot of water on the stove to boil while you brown the meal starters and the onion together. While the meal starters and onion are cooking add 2 basil leaves, 1/2 Tbsp garlic salt, 1/2 tsp oregano, and the Italian seasoning. Once the water on the stove is boiling, place zucchini pieces that are cut into the shape of lasagna noodles (long strips) into the boiling water to cook until tender, about 4 minutes.
Mix the tomato sauce with the meal starter and onion mixture. In a separate bowl, combine the cottage cheese with the remaining spices.
Now, it is time to begin layering the lasagna! First, put down a light layer of sauce into the 9×11 glass baking dish, then place a layer of the zucchini "noodles" on top so that you cannot see anymore sauce.
Next, spread half of the cottage cheese mixture on top of the zucchini and top with half of the mozzarella or string cheese cheese.
Then, it is time to repeat the steps all over again! So, place another layer of sauce, then the zucchini, then the cheeses, then one final layer of sauce. Place in the oven at 400 for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and it is cooked all the way through. Allow to set in the pan for about 5 minutes before serving.
Last but not least…cut yourself a slice and enjoy!

Beyond Careerism? (Redistributing Poetic Effort)
This past week at Poetry Foundation Jim Behrle published a talk he'd given at St. Mark's Poetry Project last month (and which apparently first appeared at one of his blogs some time back) called "24/7 Relentless Careerism." Behrle's talk is a hilarious rant against the career motives and moves of contemporary poets. One would have to have a heart of stone not to read Behrle's piece and laugh aloud. And one would have to be seriously naive not to believe that much of what Behrle describes goes on to various extents.
That said, I cannot help but see the situation from a different perspective than Behrle (or at least the Behrle of "24/7 Relentless Careerism"; Behrle is, after all, a poet, as well a tireless community organizer and activist for poetry within the community around the St. Mark's Poetry Project). Often, I feel frustrated by all that one cannot do as a poet, what one seemingly gives up through one's devotion to poetry. And how far short of reality—of exigent political and social conditions—poetry would often seem to fall. Likewise, it is frustrating to feel as though one is at the mercy of an apparatus of contests, and editors, and prestigious academic appointments in order to be appreciated for one's work. What Behrle expresses eloquently is a cynical perspective I have no doubt is shared by many. That one can only follow one road now, and that that road is paved by mediocrity and meticulous calculation.
When I went to Buffalo for graduate school in 2000, I was fresh out of college (I deferred for a year between college and graduate school). When I applied to Buffalo, I didn't apply anywhere else. It was Buffalo or bust. I wanted to go because I admired Charles Bernstein's and Susan Howe's work and had grown up on the poetry of Robert Creeley and the poets of Creeley's generation. Having met Howe when I was a college freshman, I had no doubt that Buffalo was a place where I could learn to be a poet. That's all I wanted. And, if nothing else, that's what I got from Buffalo. A practice as a poet. Common ground among other poets whose work I admired.
I am still grateful for this. Looking back on my time at Buffalo (Bernstein had three years left, Creeley would pass away in four, Howe was preparing to retire), it seems like a miracle I got there when I did. To work with Howe and Bernstein, and also with Myung Mi Kim and Tony Conrad at Buffalo has instilled me with an enormous sense of good fortune.
My decision to apply to Buffalo was a fairly hapless one. It was motivated by eagerness, and interest, and desire. When I attended Creeley's memorial service at Buffalo I remember Robert J. Bertholf (at the time the curator of Poetry / Rare books at the university) thanking Creeley for inviting him to "come along for the ride." When I get to host a reading, or correspond with a contemporary, or I am invited to give a reading I have a similar feeling of gratitude to simply be part of the conversation. If I become critical of something, I think it is in relation to and out of respect for this sense of conversation. Many of the poets who I feel closest to feel burdened by a sense of privilege and would try to conduct themselves counter to this privilege. Among these poets there is an ethical commitment to poetry—the writing of poetry as not just counter to "official verse culture" (which it is obviously always in relation to), but as the principal expression of the poet's desire to be and act in specific ways within the world.
At its best, I think that poetry can make things seem possible again. Possible worlds, possible sensations, possible ideas, possible ways of being, possible relationships. I also think that poetry has its limits, and that a major limit of poetry (or most modes of aesthetic production for that matter) lies in its inability to effect immediately practical changes in reality. As Tillie Olsen reveals through her book Silences, there are "natural" hiatuses which occur throughout a writer's life, and then, more often than not, there are hiatuses which occur as a result of economic and/or socio-political violence. For women and minorities such imposed hiatuses have obviously occurred more frequently than for any one else. There is also a hiatus that I believe occurs out of a sense that poetry does not suffice in the face of strife or emergency occurring in the world. George Oppen's twenty-five year hiatus during which time the poet fought in World War II and organized for the Communist Party is a famous example of such a hiatus. Similarly, there is Robert Duncan's hiatus during the 1970s during which time the poet did not write or publish. Laura Riding Jackson gave up poetry because she did not feel that it could represent "the real," and spent the rest of her life writing text books which, in prose, extend many of the preoccupations of her renounced poetic practice. There is also the legendary case of Rimbaud, who became an arms trader; an act which Mallarmé likened to amputating one's arm while still conscious.
Mainly, I want to suggest that there are counter-actions to the kind of careerism Behrle skillfully describes in his essay. And one is to imagine the poet acting beyond the boundaries of poetry both as a literary genre/medium and as it is embedded within a set of institutional practices and cultural locations. What happens when a poet works without words, in mediums not their 'own' (as so many poets have done)? What happens when a practicing poet produces something outside a culture or context of poets/poetry (as so many poets also have done)?
Thinking about poetry as a labor and a field of production is crucial here. Because I believe that part of the difficulty with contemporary poetry is that poetry, for many, has seemingly ossified as a field of production and now seeks its revivification in other cultural activities. Off-page poetries—performance and somatic poetry, conceptualist poetries, ecopoetries, and other poetries which redistribute themselves across multiple fields of production—are therefore of the hour. While many poets obviously still do write poetry for the page (and I am someone who personally believes in the power and potential of page poetry, not to mention poetries traditionally identified as 'lyrical' ones) many others are writing across disciplines, genres, and modes/fields of production. So while many of us are still wrapping our heads around late-modernist appropriation practices, we also have yet to adequately address the more complex problem of how off-page poetries redistribute poetic effort within a more expansive and extended field of cultural production.
Following Paolo Virno's book, A Grammar of the Multitude, I would also like to take poetry, at bottom, as a labor. While this labor may not be easily quantifiable, there is nevertheless a finite energy that one can put towards the generation, distribution, and/or critical reflection upon/of poetry (what, traditionally, has been considered the 'work' of poets to a large extent). What, I often wonder, if this effort was to be radically redistributed? If the poet is also defined by their having a practice of using language in ways considered to be poetic, what would it mean for those practices to be displaced and put to uses other than they were intended? What, in other words, if one was to voluntarily and tactically use the labor power they would normally afford to the writing, distribution, and/or critical reflection upon/of poetry towards another kind of labor? What if such a hiatus were organized? What would this experiment result in?….

Thanks so much for this, Thom–
Oh wow, thank you Thom.
This is what I most needed to read today—more than anything.
It breathes new energy into all of the following:
The "on the page" collaborative piece Denise Leto and I are working on, 'suspension' as we think of it, a poetic experiment around letting all the "hiatuses" as you refer to them into our process, a process which is constantly suspended/on hiatus/interwoven with our disabilities/chronic illness/how those cause all other daily labors to take so much time….
And the imrpov/performanc piece I am about to do with Denise and Petra and Eleni — which I am quite terrified of because it does not allow me to be poised and positioned as the page would, which is entirely the point…..
That fake-poet guilt I get about how I cannot afford to spend enough time sitting at the desk writing/sending work out/etc when the body necessitates so much else…
And all the time it took me today to get out of bed and how much extra time the laundry takes when the body doing it is not very agile, feeling so defeated by the late hour and having just sat down at my desk now to work……
And a strong desire lately to never again write a poem alone, in my bedroom, for myself again, but try and figure out how I can do poetry with patients in hospitals, hospices, rehab centers, etc….
People want to pretend there's an alternative to careerism. Would it were so. But as long as existent socioeconomic conditions obtain, there ain't. It would clear a lot of cant if everyone writing about this topic would read Bourdieu's The Field of Cultural Production before suggesting ways to get outside the structural laws that govern the field, Baron von Munchausen-style.
i haven't done any careering. it's not that hard.
Every time someone like Thom says something like this, I have to force myself to remember a terrific passage that John Wilkinson wrote in an essay on Andrea Brady:
The more art's uselessness has figured as an exalted reduction, the more lyric poetry has been drawn towards prosodic movement as primary, with analysis and argument conducted under the aegis of this last-ditch spirit–spirit now lodged in the ruts of lineation and the angles of enjambement. For uselessness is merely a status, while spirit is its working afflatus. About the spiritual mist, the dawn horizon trembles and shines, or as Allen Grossman has put it: "In the outlook of the lyric person the horizon has ceased to be a precinct and has become a vortex." Uselessness gives rise to spirit and spirit to the tentative sublime.
It reminds me that what's true of art might be true of artists too, in which case there'd be something to admire in those poets who, like out of willed or naïve self-deception, do not accept that uselessness is merely a status, those poets who, however materialist their professed convictions, get themselves giddy on huffs of the working afflatus while insisting that their indolence and failure in the face of "exigent social and political conditions" is the surest sign of their sanctity.
And yet still it boggles the brain that someone can join Behrle in mocking the bad road "paved by mediocrity and meticulous calculation," while at the same time celebrating the benevolent "eagerness, interest, and desire" that just happened to lead to the door of the University of Buffalo, where three—no, you're right, let's call it two—of the most important and interesting American poets of the last fifty years just happened to be assembled. (Must have been some amazing soup they served in the dining hall there.)
But then I guess it's no more surprising than the proposition that conceptual poetry, which (at least in the practice of its primary instigator) can be defined precisely as an art played out in the medium of po-biz careerism, is some how a trapdoor out of the world of hierarchy and value.
Well, here's a little secret I've learned during my many years at elite institutions: that's the game *they* play, too, the privileged careerists you despise. They climb the rungs of power, and when someone asks them how they got all the way up there they tell them it must have been luck, or talent, or chance, or nature–anything but the actual social mechanisms that helped and help keep them keep them in their place.
There are ten tags to this post. I like tags.
Let's leave one out of it. You've been lucky and also good. That's the combination devoutly to be wished.
So anyway: The external is at least half of what poetry is about.
Here's a good place, poets under 40, to start a career:
So far I have been lucky
You've been lucky and also good.
This is just what I'm talking about. You've been lucky and good, absolutely, but you've also done a number of the things that a person who wants to be read should do (put out a book with a serious publisher, edited an anthology, started a blog and invited other poets to participate, blogged for the Poetry Foundation). None of these latter, I hasten to add, are bad things, but why this felt need to deny the role they play in one's
careerlife as a poet?
I think I'll start a Facebook group for poets of honest ambition; I sort of doubt it'll get more members than that pickle.
O, whenever I hear the flatulent word "afflatus," I pine for sublime early morns, by plant gates of Milwaukee, fifteen below with the West Wind blow, a 4th International pamphletus held out in the icy silence of a living hand…
Career, life — it comes to the same thing.
It takes about twenty years to become a poet.
It can go faster if you don't have to work, but not always.
"To become a poet" — to know exactly how much you're never going to know.
It's amazing that people can get jobs having to do with poetry.
Poets exist mainly to keep other poets from writing.
This includes poets who teach.
In this function poets resemble time itself.
Think of it as a service to humanity.
Think of the poetry that makes it through as an ornament to civilization.
Stop putting the science news and jokes into your poems if you can help it.
If you can't help it, show me your poems.
This post is interesting, & covers a lot of ground… for me, however, the answer to some of these problems of careerism & vocational uncertainty does not lie in shifting the definition of poetry, either toward political activism or toward hybrid modes of art production.
I tend to go in the opposite direction… aside from writing poetry itself, for me the most interesting idea is to develop a sense of poetry & its reception which creates conditions for independent, disinterested appreciation & judgement. Because I think poetry itself contains its own structures of value & integrity, & has for a long time; it's more a matter of asking how we as individuals or as a culture learn how to read & understand & respond to what is already there.
The more you enhance the ability of readers to recognize inherent values & strengths in poems themselves, the more you DISempower those dimensions (of careerism, P.R. & money) which tend to obscure actual literary & artistic values. It's a matter of fostering educated readers & literary taste – which requires an early encouragement (in childhood) to readers & reading. When readers learn to sense & recognize really excellent poems, the less indulgent they will be toward either complacent mediocrity or puffed-up reputations.
I realize my vituperation probably seems out of place, but I write as a person who bit hard on the purity-of-artistic-vocation line when young and only belatedly realized that almost all of the people who profess it did so in either conscious or unconscious bad faith. Believe me, I recognize the allure (and even the utility) of the mythology, but it does no service to anyone–in fact it is the opposite of a service–to pretend that the art world is free of the social constraints that bind every other human endeavor.
Of course this does not mean that all of art is a scam, or that the people at the top are all talentless hacks. One of the many graces of art is that it remains a realm in which real talent is, usually, appreciated. It is also a place where fleeting purities of motivation, mood, and inspiration can be found and, with hard work, cultivated into some lasting form.
This is why I thought it was so charming, so utterly refreshing, to read Justin Taylor deep in the comments section of an HTMLGiant post a few weeks ago admitting that all he really wanted on that particular day was to make the New York Times bestseller list. For a moment all of the rebarbative indie posturing fell to the side, and the still small voice of ambition was allowed to speak. It was, in its way, a beautiful thing.
But really, folks: there's nothing shameful in wanting to be read! There's nothing shameful in doing the kinds of things that will help you get read! The shame arrives, or should, when the time spent on PR work outgrows some proportional relation to the time spent on actual work–1:20, 1:10, who knows–or when the two become so confused that one can no longer tell which is which.
Justin is interesting. I liked his story "Weekend Away" a lot. Looking forward to seeing what he does next.
Also, isn't everybody who really protests about something a suspect in re whatever they protest?
For example: I'm totally guilty of recursion.
Bobby, all this great, and it's good you've broached the matter. But you know, you aren't the first to bring up the messy and impolite topic! Why, some people have even started writing poetry (the impure kind) with these issues as starting point…
Also, isn't everybody who really protests about something a suspect in re whatever they protest?
Of course. I mean, it's Jim Behrle, for chrissake. But his satire seemed more self-aware and -critical than the solemn expressions of approval that followed in its wake.
you aren't the first to bring up the messy and impolite topic!
Oh I know, Kent. But the realization brought me to your work, rather than the other way round. Still, I agree, this flower blooms in your garden.
>Still, I agree, this flower blooms in your garden.
What's the scent out of that flower, I guess.
Thank you, Sr. BB. But really in my mind was someone like Stephen Rodefer, as well. And a few others, beginning now in that vein. Satire is overdue, in our day.
On Rodefer: Wasn't that special issue of the Chicago Review the last one you edited? Good one.
Him too, obvs. I was around for the "AGE in its CAGE" essay but out the door by the time the special issue came to pass.
As usual, all these women going on about their careers.
Satire. Who needs it?
Couldn't resist, lads.
As you were Ladettes.
Hey, all's fair. After all, there are poetry conferences that need attending.
I still don't get why people think it was satire.
>Well, here's a little secret I've learned during my many years at elite institutions: that's the game *they* play, too, the privileged careerists you despise. They climb the rungs of power, and when someone asks them how they got all the way up there they tell them it must have been luck, or talent, or chance, or nature–anything but the actual social mechanisms that helped and help keep them keep them in their place.
That sounds accurate to my ears. And to extend Bobby's point, no one in those elite institutions would say the playing field is level. That is one of the reasons they're OK with privilege, not because they are in favor of unfair social mechanisms but because it is pretty silly to complain about privilege or hierarchy that comes from luck, or chance, or talent, or nature, and so on.
At the same time, oddly enough, they, like Thom, praise the power of voluntarism above all else. The fantasy—or "experiment," whatever you want to call it—of poets just voluntarily using their labor power as an antidote to status and careerism is not too far from the fantasy of rich people, through charity, donations, etc. using their money for absolute social improvement. It might even be easier to conceive rich people who can give up their money without having to give up their money (because they don't give it all up–they are still undeniably rich) than it is to conceive poets who can just give up their status and work and still be respected, or even recognized, as poets (especially if they don't have much status or career to take a hiatus from in the first place).
Speaking of "beyond careerism," or of the poetry "career" beyond the usual, there is this conversation I just finished with Bob Arnold, poet and (with his companion Susan) editor of Longhouse Publications, one of the longest-running and most prolific fine presses (the hand-done kind) in the land. Their book productions, from large to tiny, are simply beautiful. He and Susan are among the poetic heroes still breathing.
Bob is a builder, stoneworker, and treecutter (not sure if there's a hyphen there), who's lived in the outback of Vermont for decades. He's also the literary executor of both Cid Corman and Lorine Niedecker.
Just to be sure! When I wrote "(with his companion Susan)," I probably should have inserted a comma after 'companion.'
Bob lives in the mountains on a self-constructed four-wooden-building compound, yes, but Susan is his *only companion*!!!
For some reason, whenever you or [name your 50 other poets] or anybody mentions Bourdieu & his "structural laws" of the literary economy, & how airtight & perfect they are, & how there's no escaping them… I just want to laugh.
I don't think poetry is governed by these laws. & those litterateurs who act as though these laws determined their activities, well, no matter how refined & tasteful & intelligent & educated they are, have somehow lost touch with the actual thing itself (poetry). I'm not sure how this happens. Maybe they are trying too hard.
Poetry, I think, is about, among other things, the scandal of a failure to obey the laws of this world – the scandal of failure itself.
& it seems as if for the last 25 years or so I've been (willy-nilly, unbeknownst to myself) developing an alternative economy of literature based on this idea.
thanks for making this connection between hiatus of effort and somatic hiatus Amber. the urgency of your life and work does not cease to move me. & what you and Robert and Eleni are doing is definitely redistributing poetic effort in all the ways I would want…
fondly, Thom
I'm sure it was good, Jim.
Poetry is for losers.
You wanna talk about what makes one laugh, let's talk about know-nothingism, the incurable anti-intellectual belief that you can dispose of structural laws just cuz they strike you as silly. I'm also a big fan of those who are certain that some theorist (Bourdieu, say) must be wrong, even though they've not bothered to read any of his work. Well, good luck w/ that. If there were no structural laws, you can bet there'd be no structure. It's highly amusing for me to hear a librarian at Brown University talk about how he has formed an alternative literary economy, or a guy who haunts every poetry website declare that he's done "no careering." Obtaining a readership is a one-way street & if you wanna pretend that that street's name is "luck" or "talent," then you're delusional, but, hey, there are worse things to be.
"Obtaining a readership is a one-way street & if you wanna pretend that that street's name is "luck" or "talent," then you're delusional, but, hey, there are worse things to be."
Well put, Mr. Robbins! Very well put.
Pure bullshit, but, very well put.
That is to say that the main street through town is 'Talent Street'. Unfortunately, it has a lot of lights and is slow going. If you're lucky you might get on the 'Luck Freeway' that bypasses the Business Route and gets you to your destination much faster.
But if, as you recommend, you take the "one-way street" of (con)temporary success and popularity, then you will discover that you are not only going the wrong way on that one-way street, but that the Authorities will stop you every two blocks for a bribe in lieu of a ticket and, eventually, that you also went West instead of East and ended up in the wrong town anyway.

Contrary to popular belief, courage does not mean putting your head down and charging like a bull. Managerial courage involves a structured approach to risk management based on solid self-knowledge, detailed analysis of situations, planning of required actions and sound management of communications. So what is different about leaders who display courage, make hard decisions and shoulder their responsibilities?

Over 1,200 people showed up to cheer on the squad as they faced the Maine Roller Derby Rip Tides.A Central Maine player, who says the team has been training for about a year, says it's an overall good time. A blocker for Central Maine Derby, Amy "Wined up" Blackstone said "It's also an incredible work out. We skate hours and hours a week and the funny thing is, I don't realize I'm getting a work out until afterwards.It's the first time that I've ever done a work out and not realize until mid-workout that I'm actually getting exercise."The RIP Tides took the match up this time, 171 to 138.

As African Americans get infected with HIV and die at shocking rates, we must all take stock, assess, and act. White LGBT people must intentionally break racial barriers that create de facto segregation. Worship together, socialize together, serve together, and be honest together.
Read Whole Story
We finally are starting to scratch the surface of the depth of the HIV crisis among young black men who have sex with men (MSM). It was the spirit of persistence to find answers that many of us brought to the White House LGBT Conference on HIV/AIDS in Atlanta, Ga. on April 19.
When we support organizations around the world that fight stigma and marginalization, and when we address the holistic needs of young black gay men, we tear down the barriers to education, social capital, and high-quality, comprehensive medical treatment and care.
For National Black HIV/AIDS Awareness Day, I want to recall how one man's insistence on openness and honesty about AIDS in the black community generated support and saved lives in Los Angeles and beyond.
It is impossible to discuss HIV/AIDS in the black community without addressing the importance of tolerance. It is up to us -- relatives, co-workers and friends -- to engage our black gay brothers in a conversation that is constructive and rooted in concern.

Lou Doillon is well aware of the pitfalls of celebrity and the pressures of expectation. Anonymity is not her problem, at least not in France, where she is a member of a famous extended family, with a creative life of her own and experience of time in the spotlight. But familiarity comes with preconceptions, and she is a little tired of being thought of as an It Girl, a fashion icon and an offbeat actress. She has made a fresh start in an area she never expected to enter.
The success of her first album, Places, a collection of her songs, written in English, took many by surprise – but no one, she insists, could have been more amazed than she was. Places has recently been released in Australia, and Doillon will perform here as part of the So Frenchy So Chic tour in January.
"I'm very excited," she says, "and I want to get lost a bit."
Doillon, 31, is the daughter of Jane Birkin, muse of Serge Gainsbourg, actress, singer and activist, and of French film director Jacques Doillon. In conversation, she sounds a lot like her mother; she speaks in a confiding rush of headlong sentences and quick observations. There's an exaggerated English accent evident in some of her words, a French twist to others. But her album doesn't sound much like her mother's recordings, or those of her half-sister, actress Charlotte Gainsbourg. There are spare ballads, anthems, chants, a song with a country twang. Her voice is plangent, often fierce; she sings of loss, melancholy, obsession, love out of reach.
She vividly remembers her first day in the studio. Places was produced by a family friend, singer and producer Etienne Daho. Even Daho had plenty of preconceptions about her before he met her.
"He said to me, 'I thought you were an It Girl, that you were on coke, that you were full of s---, that your only obsession was the dress you were going to wear tonight. And then I arrive at a house full of books, full of your drawings. You're bilingual, you sing, and none of us know this. You're the most f----d-up iceberg I've ever heard of."
Her upbringing, she says, had elements that might surprise people – it had its conventional aspects as well as its unconventional ones.
"My mother is old-fashioned, she raised us like girls from a 19th-century book. My sisters and I are known for being the most polite girls in France. My mother wanted us to be like royalty: never ever will you be caught being rude, or superficial or being a star or whatever. And we all had to have piano lessons, dance lessons, and know how to cook, how to draw and how to sew."
There were gaps in her formal education, she says. Because she left school at 15 without her baccalaureate, the equivalent of VCE or HSC, she couldn't study fine arts, which she would have liked to have done. And by 19, she had her son, Marlowe; there simply wasn't time to study.
Her diaries, going back to her teenage years, are full of drawings, and that's the place where she started to write lyrics and poems: it's as if she were a songwriter without knowing it, she says. There was a breakthrough moment when she picked up a guitar one day.
"It sounds mystical and weird and bullshit, but I really didn't have an option. It called me in a strange way. I guess it was a day when the heart was so sad that the diary wasn't enough, the drawing wasn't enough, and I needed another level of expression to just calm down."
She wasn't thinking of recording or performing, but people started to urge her to do something with the songs she was writing. She recorded some demos, then was signed to an album. She resisted suggestions she go to Los Angeles to record. She wanted something simple, a '70s feel, and a sound that she could recapture live.
Daho, she says, found it hilarious that she walked to the recording studio with her guitar slung over her back, rather than taking a cab. And he thought it was even funnier, she says, "when we had to stop after the first take because my teeth kept on banging into the mike". She starts to laugh.
"I have such a big set of teeth, and I'd never sung into a mike before. Etienne said to me, 'How can you have been singing for seven years, and not know this?' But I had been singing around the house, in the kitchen, to my friends when they came over, around the fire, like everyone does. Everyone sings, everyone has a song in them, it was very normal for me."
In the studio, she found herself spurred on to write even more. "Suddenly, it was my job, eight hours a day. It opened up something in my head, and the first night I came home, and started to write Defiance. After three days, ICU came out. Because I had never heard my songs with drums or bass before, and I think that must have excited my brain. It had just been me, with an acoustic guitar, not wanting to wake up the neighbours," Doillon says.
She certainly wasn't ready for what came next. She started to do interviews before the album release, and was pleasantly surprised to find that people seemed to like it. Many journalists told her they had assumed they would hate it, that it would be over-produced pop or dance music.
The album went gold in eight days, "and everyone was demanding a tour".
Doillon did her first live performance, she remembers, "on October 20 last year, in a club called La Fleche d'Or, a place that holds 600 people; there were more than 800 there, and the first time I got on stage, they were singing my lyrics". At Les Victoires de la Musique, the annual French music industry awards, she was named best female artist of 2013, the first time the honour had been given to a singer on debut, and the first time for an album in English, she says.
"It was amazing; it was completely bonkers."
She's not sure what will now become of her movie career.
"I've always had a strange acting life. I'm the daughter of a director, and a very French, typical director who fell in love with every single one of his actresses. And that's also something that's kind of normal in the acting business, because everything is based on desire, one way or the other."
She understands this, but she also hates it. "I love acting, I love movie sets and movies, but, at the same time, there's something about the position of women in that world that frightens me a lot. I find it nearly inhuman to be an actress." She hasn't been able to find the roles she would have liked to play.
"I have a strong and strange character, and I've rarely met directors who knew what to do with this character. One of the few who did was my father, and in the theatre, Arthur Nauzyciel," who cast her in her first stage appearance, performing in a dramatisation of a Beckett story, The Image, alongside a sonic artist and a dancer.
"I'm like a bull – I need someone very, very strong to take me somewhere – so, sadly for me, I haven't met the director who will be challenged in a fun way by me, and won't be castrated." She'd like to think it could still happen.
In the meantime, the experience of performing live gives her things she'd never imagined. She's struck by the fact audience members have probably heard her songs more often that she has, and have created their own meanings for them. Their investment in a song gives it new life, she says, using an image of which her mother would no doubt be proud. "It's like knitting; as if I knit the first row and pass it on, and when it comes back to you it's this mad scarf with 25 rows on it."
That's what she loves most about literature and music, she says: the space it leaves for readers and listeners. "Literature and music ask you to put your own life in; to fill the grey zones with your own stories. Even if you read Marcel Proust spending 12 pages describing a girl, you and I won't see the same girl."
And, for that reason, she says, "I don't like to say what's behind a song, because I know people have sung ICU to their dead pets, or their parents, or thinking that it's about my dead cousin [poet and musician Anno Birkin, who died, aged 20, in 2001]. For me, that song is about loss, but I think people can do whatever they want with it, and that's why music is so wonderful."
As a performer, she says, you need to understand what that means, how you become a part of a process, "a vector for emotions, an antenna".

I have a 2005 deville and no matter what settings I choose I end up with hot air coming out the passenger side vents. I have tried turning the passenger side to full colder and off and it makes no difference. I read for earlier years it might be the actuator valve. Is it the same for 2005 Cadillacs or is it something else?
Also, if it is the valve where is it located?
Thanks in advance,

Low quality products used for the purposes of HCG diet can result in a hit or miss when it comes to dieting too. Garcinia Cambogia 80% Hca this can result in losing a few pounds one week and then losing nothing the next. The effect can be much like that derived from yo-yo dieting where the body doesn't really know what to do.
I didn't get pure garcinia cambogia at the time I heard about it many days ago. I felt justified in gathering that but also honestly "The burnt child fears the fire." It is how to get a job working online with some news. If you want to make a change in your weight this year — assuming you are already trying to maintain a basically healthy diet — think less about the calories burned at the gym and more about these three passive techniques: breathe deep sleep long eat slow. Hypnosis is a state of deep relaxation in which your subconscious unconscious mind is open and receptive to suggestions that will assist you to re- program old attitudes and beliefs about eating exercise etc and will stimulate new behaviours. There are two ways in which Garcinia Cambogia can help you lose weigh it blocks fat and it also suppresses Garcinia Cambogia 80% Hca the appetite. Countless weight loss programs can attest to the fact that exercise can do wonders for your weight loss regimen. So far no negative effects of exercises exist provided that you do not have serious
underlying medical conditions.
There are plenty of drinks out there which are much more healthier than soda/pop and they might even be cheaper. Pop is filled with 7-8 teaspoons of sugar and is just carbonated water with sugar and colour. The Bottom Line? Do not look at the hunger pains you go through when fasting and dieting as a punishment or even as a torture to be endured even though it certainly can feel that way.
Let's keep that just between you and me. Several garcinia cambogia select websites even offer classes
for beginners. Everybody has their own procedures so let me share mine.
Normally I don't recommend "weight-loss" supplements especially weight-loss supplements that claim "easy" weight loss or "fast" weight loss. As a nutritionist I strongly believe that the key to weight loss is a healthy diet and exercise but there are some incredible super foods that can deliver an added boost. One super dr oz garcinia cambogia extract standardized 50% hca food in particular the Garcinia Cambogia is creating major media buzz and the research has me truly garcinia cambogia extract puritan's pride amazed.
The fitness pro garcinia cambogia first element you should be searching for is garcinia cambogia supplement. In the past a few have used garcinia cambogia extract for this. IngredientsBrazilian fat burner is garcinia cambogia green tea and caffeine anhydrous composed of Acai Berry green tea white beans and bee pollen. It effectively and quickly helps to burn fat so you can show a healthy and beautiful body and sexy stomach muscles. It contains the powerful Acai berry antioxidants which whenever mixed with green tea increases your metabolic rate and burn fat even while you sleep. Green tea contains large amounts of antioxidants thus helping prevent aging. The extract of white kidney bean reduces consumption of calories from carbohydrates so that calories from starchy foods such as chicken wings and pasta are greatly reduced.
I am not likely to be Garcinia Cambogia 80% Hca particularly fastidious touching on that old story. What can be done as this touches on that? This is the plain truth with respect to doing it. Garcinia cambogia supplement could be one of the most how to use garcinia cambogia for weight loss neglected garcinia cambogia extract around. High fiber foods are also known to lower the risks of cancer and oatmeal also helps to reduce Garcinia Cambogia 80% Hca cholesterol levels making it an ideal food for a healthy heart. However there is no need to go overboard with oatmeal and follow the ridiculous fad diet which advises eating nothing but oatmeal three times a day.
How do they come up with something like some combination? Participants chose whether or not to have surgery and enrollment ended in February 2001
- I don't want you to presume I have a prejudice about doing that
- Hurrah! Choosing the right garcinia cambogia select can help a person
- Check out the original study or its abstract published by Dove Press "Randomized double-blind placebo-controlled linear dose crossover study to evaluate the efficacy and safety of a green coffee bean extract in overweight subjects
- In a five-month study on bald people who applied raspberry ketone to their heads half began growing hair again
- For more inactive or older adults walking is great for burning off extra belly fat
- It's important to limit saturated fat to reduce your risk of heart disease
. Stomach stapling was the most common procedure 69 percent followed by gastric banding 19 percent and gastric bypass 12 percent. Gastrointestinal problemsSurgery lap band is one of the most important settings to do Garcinia Cambogia 80% Hca after eating too much you can become sick can not handle the size of the portion that is used that your stomach to eat youll eat too much You will be. This has achieved international acclaim. I don't prefer that option. Ahh well you're here again because I strongly disinherit that opinion.
I won't guarantee their success and some conjecture is really exciting. I would do it again at the drop of a dime. You may be astounded to locate that there is a beautiful pure garcinia cambogia is that it gives you some opinions as this concerns garcinia cambogia extract.

Obama in 2008: Americans need to suck it up and pay more for energy
posted at 9:15 am on March 16, 2012 by Ed Morrissey
Barack Obama has put on his public face of concern over high gas prices. Steven Chu has reversed his 2008 insistence that American gas prices needed to rise to European levels in order to make alternatives more competitive and people more desperate for them. Is any of this sincere? Morgen Richmond of the now-moribund Verum Serum blog found this nugget from Obama himself in May 2008, explaining that Hope and Change meant big change — in energy prices. When an attendee to this town hall asked Obama what sacrifices he would ask of Americans, Obama leaped at the chance to explain the outcome of his energy policies (via Ace):
I like Ace's approach to technological development:
I prefer the "Old" approach to emerging technology: We adopt new technology when it is better and cheaper than the old technology, not when it is worse and more expensive, forced to convert over by a government demanding we pay more for less. So we can reap all these speculative benefits in a hypothetical future.
You know what I liked best about the old approach, other than the fact that it worked? It didn't require government to place bad bets on companies like Solyndra that wouldn't have survived otherwise to ruin more capital and resources. Think about that for a moment: these government interventions cost us money whether we get more energy efficient or not. And what has it produced? Nothing of consequence, and nothing that would last once the subsidies that make them artificially competitive now (to the extent they've even achieved that status) once the subsidies end.
The old method of allowing capital to produce innovation and consumers to choose winners brought us prosperity and technological advancement. Obama's has brought us bankruptcies, soaring debt, and no progress at all. That's change, all right.

The city of Lake Charles will mark the National Park Trust's third annual National Kids to Parks Day 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Saturday, May 18, at Millennium Park, on Bord Du Lac Drive.
"This event is just encouraging the community, families and kids to get out and go to a park," said Mayor Randy Roach. "We've got several parks throughout the city, some really nice parks such as Lock and Millennium. It just highlights that we've got places around the community that people can get out and enjoy."
Roach said children who frequent parks will grow into healthy adults, and he encourages them to get out of the house and into the sunshine to run around.
The Millennium Park event will include face painting, fun jumps, an appearance by Gumbeaux Gator, a tricycle race, train rides, a chicken run, bowling and a DJ.
National Kids to Parks Day participants can sign up at www.kidstoparks.org to be counted toward the event's national tally.

I'm only able to look at the paper in my spare time, and I had no spare time for the past few days. Also, quite frankly, I didn't know if your problem had been solved already or not.

Did the bioperl suggestions lead anywhere for you?

Purchased one these for home use (practice outside the dojo)I would say it got 100 hours of kicking before I trashed it. Overall it wasn't terrible but I will not be purchasing a second.Pros - Fits nicely in an apartment corner when not in use.Cons -The material has the tendency to wrinkle which makes using the bag itself less enjoyable.When filled with water the base will double bounce on the ground making a lot of noise (side kicks)

My husband and I wanted a bag we could punch and kick. This works well for us. We filled the bottom with sand (it will take a lot of sand). So far the bag is holding up and offers us a great work out.

I have used this thing at least every other day, 20 to 30 minutes each time, since the end of June 2012. I hit hard enough to move the 300 lb base all over the floor of my garage, and it's held up better than I thought it would. At first I was concerned with the looseness of the bag in the base, but I think this may be an engineered-in stress relief. No problems at all -highly recommended for exercise and getting rid of pent up energy.

I bought this model since its identical to what they have at my son's Taekwondo dojang. The quality is excellent and it took me about 3 minutes to assemble. You can fill the base with water or sand and you're ready to go.

Chromium GTF helps with blood sugar and weight loss. In the past it has helped keep my weight down. Hopefully it will work again.

Helps my blood sugar!
So far Chromium GTF by Source Naturals helps a lot better than any others I've tried before.

Not for me.
I hated the effect that this had on me. I have taken Chromium in the past (not GTF as far as I remember), and I don't believe it had that great of an effect on me then either; however, I thought I might try it again, as it is constantly being "pushed" by the health industry. I can't take Chromium GTF by Source Naturals because the effect it had on me was the opposite of what it is supposed to do. This doesn't mean that it won't work for other people, but obviously I don't need it.

Blood Sugar and Sugar cravings
Yes, it helps regulate the blood sugar and diminish sugar cravings. I tried Chromium GTF by Source Naturals because of sugar cravings and it does work to where your body isn't screaming, 'Need sugar!!!" You now have a more logical choice over what you want to eat. Again, the only caveat is that it cannot fix your thought process so don't expect it to.

Last Thursday, the NBA announced the starters for this year's NBA All-Star game, as per the popular vote of the fans. While the majority of this year's selections seem fair, two of the most polarizing of choices, Carmelo Anthony and Kobe Bryant, are members of big-market yet borderline-abysmal teams.
Social media and members of the NBA family alike, have voiced disapproval at the selection process, pointing primarily to the appointment of Kobe Bryant's role as a starter, despite his civilian-level shooting percentage of 37%. While Kobe Bryant has since torn his rotator cuff and is likely out for the remainder of the season, the point still stands; the current process is a popularity vote that has little to do with each player's current production in the NBA.
Perhaps most outspoken of the voting processes' opponents is Mavericks' owner Mark Cuban. Cuban sees the overall lack in interest from fans to voting as perhaps the biggest reason for its flaws. Continue reading NBA All-Star Game Starters Announced, Illustrate Flawed Selection Process »

New Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 and Lumix DMC-ZS60 Feature Post-Focus Capabilities; Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm Telephoto Zoom Lens and Five New Camcorder Models Just Announced; Get the First Look in Article by Adorama's Industry Expert Mason Resnick
NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Jan 7, 2016) - Adorama, one of the world's largest photography, video, audio, imaging and electronics retailers, has announced that it will be accepting preorders for two new Panasonic compact digital cameras -- Lumix DMC-ZS100 and Lumix DMC-ZS60 -- highly sought after for their post-focus capabilities, which allow users to adjust focus after the picture has been taken.
Adorama will also be accepting preorders for the new Panasonic Leica DG Vario-Elmar 100-400mm telephoto zoom lens and five new Panasonic camcorder models -- the 4K ultra-high definition WXF991 and VX981K camcorders, and the full-HD W580K, V380 and V180 camcorders.
Get a First Look from Imaging Expert Mason Resnick
Adorama Learning Center's digital imaging expert Mason Resnick takes a first look at both the Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100 and Lumix DMC-ZS60 compact digital cameras in his featured article on the ALC site. Of the Lumix DMC-ZS100, he says, "The Lumix DMC-ZS100 is Panasonic's new flagship compact digital pocket camera, houses a big 1-inch MOS sensor, and is the first Panasonic model to feature 'Post-Focus,' which lets you adjust focus after you've taken the picture. The camera captures multiple images with optimal focus for 49 individual areas within each frame. You can then manually select which area you want to focus on. You can even generate multiple versions of the same image with different areas in focus."
Of the Lumix DMC-ZS60, Mason says, "Panasonic also introduced the Lumix DMC-ZS60, an 11-ounce compact camera optimized for travel photography. Featuring a 30x zoom lens and 4k still/video capture, the camera packs an 18MP MOS sensor and a 24-720mm (35mm equivalent) f/3.3-6.4optical zoom range. In addition to capturing 4K video, the ZS60 also lets you extract an 8-MP still from 4K video, and offers the same Post-Focus feature found on the ZS100. Shutter speeds are as fast as 1/16,000 sec."

Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS100
Marrying the visual performance of a large 1-inch sensor and the tried-and-true ability of the 10x Leica DC lens, the Lumix DMC-ZS100 is a highly compact point-and-shoot camera designed for crisp, clear shots at any time of the day. It is the first in its series to use a F2.8-5.9 Leica DC lens to provide optimal depth of field. It is capable of recording both high resolution videos and photos in 4K, even allowing for the extraction of 8-megapixel stills from video. With its 25mm-250mm zoom range, it is ideal for photographing wildlife and nature.
Panasonic Lumix DMC-ZS60
The Lumix DMC-ZS60 is a shining example of Panasonic's popular point-and-shoot digital cameras with a 30x Leica DC lens, allowing for reliable and easy transportation. The lens-mounted control ring and thumbwheel plus eye-level electronic viewfinder add a traditional feel to a cutting edge model, and its additional Wi-Fi mobile device controllability brings even more to the creative experience. Final images are captured in stunning ultra-high definition 4K, perfect for memorializing minute details during travel.

NBA Betting Predictions April 24th
My season record to date now sits at (54-66) for -16.50 units.
New Orleans Hornets @ Golden State Warriors
Final few games of the season and just about everybody is set. This matchup of bad teams will be interesting. The Hornets have been winning a lot more recently than they did earlier on and this is in great part due to Eric Gordon. His play of late has been stellar. On the Warriors side very little right has happened this season. Neither team really needs this win, as it doesn't make any difference for the standings (apart from wrecking their draft picks). I like betting on Eric Gordon, who's trying to prove that he can be an impact player, or "the guy" on a given team.
Play: New Orleans Hornets @ -2.5 (BetOnline.ag)

Costume Information
|I'm such a huge Mass Effect fan and have always adored the armour that the characters wear. After playing the first Mass Effect when it came out and then the second one back at the start of 2010, I knew I had to try and make a costume from one of the games.
I like a lot of the characters, but non of them appeal to me more than Thane, Garrus and of course, Shepard. As I lack the skill to cast such incredible facial prosthetics for Thane and Garrus (I have the general know how as I am really into special effects, particularly facial and body prosthetics and armour, but executing it would be so costly and time consuming that I'd never get it done the way I want it!)
As such, I've decided to go with Shepard and try my hand at making a form on N7 armour.
The armour is going to be a sort of...hybrid of armours. I'm going to take aspects from different types of armour from the game and mix them into one design to come up with something that is different, though recognizable to Mass Effect.
I know how I'm going to create this armour and at the moment I'm currently blue-printing and designing it to see how it looks altogether. I was originally going to use Pepakura, as I've researched it for roughly a year and a half, since making ME armour first popped into my head as a doable costume, however, I've devised a way to create the armour using a mixture of techniques to ensure it fits to my body properly without having to make a fibreglass cast of my body or using mountains of paper to make the pepakura.
Until my armour is fully under way, I'm not going to disclose how I'm making it, as I've sat and thought about this for a good long while and don't particularly want to share it just yet, as I've recently had a large amount of cosplay ideas taken from one of my LJ because I decided to share my ideas. Obviously people will look at this and go 'Its not your character, how can they take your ideas?' but by take I mean use my blueprints and ideas and literally copy and paste them into their own blog and claim it as theirs. D: So until this baby is started, she stays a seeecreeet! :D
Oh wow, this is awesome. Never thought I'd see a Shepard cosplay (my partner wants to cosplay her too, but as I'd probably have to make it... maybe one day when I can decided who I'd like to cosplay (Mordin in a dream world XD))
Anyway good luck with this and check out evil-fx's ME2 armour for tips
Thats epic!
Good luck with this!
Can't wait to see it finished!
Thanks guys :D I'm hoping it will go well. I plan to really start the bigger pieces next year once i'm done moving.
If you ever cosplayed Mordin, Manjou, you would be my god XD
David's Mass Effect armor is incredible, more so that he made it out of EVA foam to such a high standard o.o
Coral approves +5000

This was one of the nicer houses I have visited in Pacifica. Wood floors, reasonable sized rooms, large sky lights, attractive stone work on the front porch, nicely landscaped backyard.
The thing that stood out about it was that it was very pretentious. Baby grand piano in the front room. Silly giant urns by the fireplace. It was the nicest house in 5 blocks in any direction. It seemed like someone with OCD has been living there and maintaining it. That was a plus. I cannot imagine a world where someone who had over a million dollars to spend would spend it on that house. Super crappy neighborhood.
It boasts of an "ocean view", but it was more of a "crappy shopping center with the ocean behind it" view. The sunsets might be pretty, so I should give them credit for that.
The agent was a little creepy, following me around the house. I guess they have to do that when there is some of the person's stuff in there. I shut her conversation down with a my short, polite replies to her awkward questions.

The answer is clear to me. Take the 327 small journal block and set the small journal 283 steel crank in it with the small journal rods. Do the calculations I am too lazy to do and get the correct pistons for deck height. Voila.....a small journal 302(I think...if memory serves). Or you could go down to the junk yard and get a set of I-6 ford rods and stuff in it with some bearing inserts and a set of custom pistons. I think they are in the 6.125 range. BTW, I saw this done on a SBC in HRM a while back. Using the 4 inch bore, you might even find off the shelf pistons somewhere. It would have insane dwell at TDC and would really test the long rod theory. I realize the Ford rods are a little strange, but if it is a junkyard dog.......
Slap either of the after market heads on it and you would have an engine that would live happily at 7000 RPM on stock stuff. I think the open chamber heads would not give enough compression without pop up pistons, and the 283 power pack heads will not flow as well. If you do use the 283 heads, I would think a set of 1.94, 1.50 and a bowl blend would help.
I would use the Torker intake with a gasket match. I had one on a 350 that worked very nicely. Great low end for an open plenium intake.
To argue my Ford Rod and 302 combo........If you want a true junkyard dog, it must contain parts from more than one OEM. As for old school, most of the old timers about bust a nut every time you mention the 302 chevy.
Can you find affordable shelf pistons for the 302 Chevy with the long rods? I think mayb 302 pistons for 5.7 rods aren't that easy to come by anymore.
