After stumbling across the work of an anonymous, unknown poet, D. Foy became so enthralled and confused that he couldn't keep himself from further investigation.
Chiefly his reflection, of which the portrait
Is the reflection, of which the portrait
Is the reflection once removed.
—John Ashberry
I was introduced to Ben Austin, or rather Austin brought himself to my attention, when he followed me on Twitter. His profile intrigued me. It featured no name or picture, just a handle and curiously-named Tumblr site, murooned.tumblr.com, which, once I'd navigated to it, featured nothing but a series of "poems" written by . . . nobody. I scanned the site for the person behind these poems, but found . . . nothing. I didn't understand.
Looking at these bits of writing on murooned.tumblr.com, it occurred to me that, despite their poetic form, I nevertheless found it difficult to call them poems. Obviously, thankfully, poetry has for a long time had no rules. There's nothing inherent to any poem by which we can call a poem a poem. Anyone more than a little interested in poetry knows this, and at some point or another has to have encountered a poem that made them wonder, if only for a second, just what it was before them. I certainly have, though until I read Austin's work, the last was long ago, when the page I'd turned in some anthology was printed with the words of Emily Dickinson.
Like hers, not one of Austin's poems has a title. None, properly speaking, conventionally speaking, feature a "character" or "person." None present either an introduction or conclusion, leastwise in the typical sense. None, bizarrely protean as they are, adhere to any obvious logic or follow some plainly discernible course of development. None for that matter adhere to any sort of nonsense or anti-sense or senselessness or absence. And, finally, this being the real kicker, none even display any "poetry." For all of that, however, or rather, maybe, as a result, each of these little works is somehow disturbing in the best sort of way, each arresting, each ineffably beautiful. The writer's anonymity, I later realized, was nothing if not appropriate.
My intrigue with the human behind these writings now piqued, I tweeted "it," saying:
@benba57 Your poems are cool. What's your name, please, if you don't mind my asking?
3:47AM - 23 Aug 12
@dfoyble I'm Ben Austin IRL ;D Thanks for noticing my poems, that's a great compliment I luv your website and James T. Greco ;)
5:07 PM - 23 Aug 12
By the time I received Austin's reply, I'd learned through further investigation that he was in the process of publishing a book (??PG-13??) with the DIY company Blurb. I had also launched my own website/blog and begun to post essays about things that interest me. Hoping to read Austin's book with the idea of writing about it, I tweeted:
@benba57 Thanks Ben! Where can I get your book?
7:48 AM - 24 Aug 12
And that was it. A few days into September, I received a package from Austin, via Blurb, containing the aforementioned PG-13.
Let me make no bones. Austin is a 21st-century infospeak prophet for a generation of gizmo-glomming, comic-scanning, tabloid-gorging, acronym-slurring, graffiti-bombing, gang-banging, pornography-ogling movers and shakers and artisan-"artist"-entrepreneurs, a generation of surfing, posting, blogging, tweeting, commenting, liking, following, gaming, socio/politico, post-post-post po-mo warriors and heads, spenders and geeks, fruitcake lumberjacks and academic jerks, mavericks and hipsters and misfits and tweens and slackers and addicts and pundits and pervs and dystopian, antihero, g-man punks.
Ben Austin's poetry is the manifesto of Charlie Brown had Charlie Brown come to life to write it.
Ben Austin's poetry is Rilke gone sour.
Ben Austin's poetry is teen spirit nirvana.
Ben Austin's poetry is the nightmare of Dynasty Bush.
Ben Austin's poetry is a heteroglossiacal algorithm for the dovetailing of Dr. Seuss, Donald Duck, Don Draper, and all things The Onion / Huffington Post.
Ben Austin's poetry is post-Flarf anti-Flarf with a funny hat and ginormous balls.
Ben Austin's poetry poetry is ecumenical satire mumbled from the lips of Lucian's ghost.
Ben Austin's poetry is history writ by a tard.
Not one of Austin's poems runs for more than sixteen lines. And yet in most of them, as in Blake's grain of sand, we can't help but to catch a glimpse of all the world. It is, this world, of course, ever so far from the world of Blake. It is, this world, when it comes down to it, ever so far from the world we ourselves inhabit, even as it is this world's actual clone.
Austin's poetry, truly, is a poetry of the Internet and for the Internet, a world that exists in the midst of its nonexistence; in which all things seem but never are; in which what was now is and what is will soon be but was or worse: a cache in code, the supersonic motion of the quantum on a screen, we ourselves, yes, this world of the machine, our faces reflected in its ceaselessly morphing glow.
Any one of Austin's poems can be all of these things and so much more while simultaneously receding from anything like a platform or stance because, like the Internet, Austin's poetry never assumes a body, it never assumes a shape, it never assumes anything at all with which to make a platform or stance or from which a platform or stance can be made. Its idiom is the idiom of the Internet, which is the idiom of seven billion people speaking all at once:
Poem #24, from PG-13:
Bro tip #88:
Be Street Fighter 2,
not Street Fighter 1.
A comprehensive, fictional Facebook suicide
is exactly the kind of multi-media approach
to learning parents are always asking for.
Dr. Seuss cosplay is getting really popular
in rural America.
I'm buying sexy bloggers Lytro cameras
to maximize multi-focus hotness;
don't worry, my rich aunt finally died,
so I'm flush with ca-aash.
Gaston Bachelard, in The Poetics of Revery, begins by way of Paul Valéry to get at the quandary with which Austin's poetry confronts us. "One of the great sentence workers," Bachelard says, "one day made the following remark: 'You have certainly observed the curious fact that a given word which is perfectly clear when you hear it or use it in everyday language, and which does not give rise to any difficulty when it is engaged in the rapid movement of an ordinary sentence becomes magically embarrassing, introduces a strange resistance, frustrates any effort at definition as soon as you take it out of circulation to examine it separately and look for its meaning after taking away its instantaneous function.' . . . . Reverie," Bachelard concludes, "slow reverie, discovers the depths in the immobility of the word" [my emphasis]. I say Bachelard only begins to get at the quandary presented us in Austin's poems because they are Valéry's "curious fact" exponentially compounded: The "strange resistance" offered not by a single word stripped of context but by whole sentences and paragraphs torn of sense and ground, first, through their appearance in contexts implausible to their typical function and, second, in the wake of implosions triggered by, and from within, the sentences and graphs themselves.
How, then, does the reader enter this stuff? The task is deceptively complicated. It's not as if the thing before us is a block of iron and obsidian. Certainly it's not the stuff of Finnegan's Wake or "The Waste Land" or an Oulipo-esque piece of S+7 or some Conceptualist thing like Christian Bök's Eunoia, each in their way the slap of a gauntlet to our face. Something subtler is at play here, something more mysterious, closer, it seems, to the workings of a hypnotist over time. Austin's poems implant in the mind a feeling or notion or tic, and often many, whose full implications remain latent until at some random time, by what we never know, they're activated, and their secrets quietly rise, like tiny bubbles of sadness and vision and wit. But again, that's all later, after we've looked at them and been perplexed by them to the point that we've dismissed them as linguistic trinkets or stepped back to ask again the nature of what's before us.
I thought to pierce the work by according it some taxonomic status, yet that didn't play well, either. Order, family, genus, species make no sense against an entity absent kingdom, phylum, class. The only bounds within which I could certifiably enclose these phantoms were those of language itself. I kept returning to the label "poem," if only in deference to the work's "poetic" form, but that was about the extent of it.
Luckily I found help through a recap of Modern Poetry 101.
The Imagists wiped out poetry's sentiment and flair that the thing the image represented could speak with the mouth it was. The Dadaists on their heels opened the door of poetry to absurdity and farce. The Futurists advanced to kill syntax, punctuation, meter, and the like by way of freeing up the word itself to have its way, how, where, and when. Come the Black Mountain poets and projective verse, the poem was souped into a hot rod for the utterance of one sui generis perception after the next, a mode of composition against whose perceived confines the Martian poets, and then the Language poets, deployed, on the one hand, alien tropes and extraterrestrial humor to clear the fog of habit through which we see the everyday, and, on the other, for example, tortuous syntax, odd synecdoche, and parataxis a la Samuel Beckett and Gertrude Stein to breach the reader's field of perception and force her, as it were, to participate in the meaning-making game. Finally, in the first decade of the 21st-century, we got the Conceptualists, a gathering of self-proclaimed master assassins and hallucinators of repair. And then, for better or worse, we somehow got the Flarfists, too.
In suit with the cavalier/eff-you/irony-irreverence-anomie rocks/snark-snapped-in-monotone/_je ne sai quois_/anti-sincerity-sincerist mode that largely characterizes the Y Generation of "artists," the Flarfists cobbled up a neodadaist, ass-in-your-face anti-poetics by dispensing with poetry in general and aesthetics in particular. The "point" of Flarf—"a kind of corrosive, cute, or cloying, awfulness," as Flarfist hierophant Gary Sullivan writes—was to "be wrong, awkward, stumbling, semi-coherent, fucked-up, [and] un-P.C." by bringing "out the inherent awfulness, etc., of some pre-existing text," by taking "unexpected turns," and by "doing what one is 'not supposed to do.'" Michael Costello says that, according to the Flarfists themselves, Flarf wasn't "a movement, never was, because it has no principles as such, beyond some characteristic compositional techniques that developed along the way (collaging Google search-engine results, etc.)."
I'm not sure about the extent of Costello's irony, but I'm confident of the Flarfists's. Their refusal to own the nonexistent movement they knew damn well they hadn't made was itself a function of the nonexistent movement, clever and ironic, certainly, but also arrogant, distant, unaccountable, glib. At the same time, they couldn't have been more true. Flarf wasn't a movement—it was . . . flarf: the faintly lingering stench we'd smell if a piece of fluff could fart. Surely, this was the end, if not of poetry, of something.
Flarf may have influenced Austin, as he himself admits (albeit without going so far as to confess sharing its bed), which perhaps accounts for why, at times, in their deliberately aloof and occasionally "silly" complexion, some of his poems seem to waft of flarfiness. Yet to lump him with that movement on this or any other basis would be a mistake.
The Austinian poem treats of farts and fluff, among so much else, not only with farts and fluff, but also with heart and soul and sadness and mirth, and with gravitas, too, however hidden, and with ridicule and ferocity and wit. Reactions against nothing, Austin's poetry exists of itself, only to give, to show us all, that is, the parts of us we hadn't seen, and might never have, without it.
Poem #25:
I saw you buying Clorox,
so I came up behind you
and grabbed your waist with both hands
and kissed the back of your neck
in a CVS aisle.
A Camaro ran over a parking meter
by a gay club across the street
called The Twisted Spoke,
right before we went through the automatic doors.
A huge flock of birds all died
suddenly in Arkansas near the Spring River.
We read the Huffington Post,
so we really didn't care.
There's a Baby Harvard daycare center
that makes the kids hold an invisible "rope"
when they walk to the playground.
So, again, just what is this thing before us? A love poem? An anti-confessional? A meditation on millennial pop culture? An environmental polemic? A narcissistic whisper? An oblique evaluation of modern education systems and parenting technique? A parable of life and death? It's got all the elements to be any of these, or a combination thereof, or none of them even, but something else instead, something much more, perhaps, a 50,000 foot fly-over of existence itself, maybe, the hopes and dreams of Adam and Eve banished from the Garden, all of mankind's egoism, aspirations, tenderness, bounty, idiocy, corruption, gluttony, and shame, all of our love and all of our hate: an "I" and a "you"; a waist, a neck, a kiss; a bottle of bleach in a drugstore; a sports car in a wreck; a nightclub (gay); a flock of birds inexplicably perished; a river; a blog; a daycare center whose children play at a playground got at with invisible "rope."
Names aside, from beginning to end, the shimmy this thing does keeps us fast in worry. Nothing's sure, we feel, the world's up for grabs. And so it is. None of Austin's world is "real." What he speaks of are but imitations, ideas, simulations and dissimulations, copy-catted by rote and 1-2-3. And when his poems aren't giving us a "world" of the in-between, they're showing us one of voodoo plastic, where all things have been rendered into products and brands and types.
Here, in the way that tissues are no longer tissues and photocopies no longer photocopies, but Kleenex and Xerox, bleach isn't bleach, but Clorox. And drugstores are CVSs (or Rite Aids or Eckardses or Duane Reades), and cars are Camaros (or silvermist Saturns), and newspapers are blogs, this name and that, and opinions, horribly, are facts.
Here, in fact, people scarcely are people anymore, either. We're ideas of people got with vulgar typicality from the frauds that are "celebs." More holograph than human, "we" float through life as through an ether, acting out behaviors and feelings we've read about on a screen and romanticized from there, ultimate simulacrums, visions within visions within visions (Baudrillard via Borges), themselves so remote from anything original we could as easily pluck one out like a card from a deck and call it good—love, for instance, or the motions of love: the infinitesimal trace of an ancient drive broken free of whatever storehouse in our DNA to percolate up and, with the caress, at last, of our minds' far parts (a whisper from another world, another life), compel us toward each other, even in the midst of the least romantic activity in the least romantic scene: the taking of bleach from a shelf in a store. There's only an "I" here, there's only a "you," quite literally disembodied: a disembodied I grabbing with disembodied hands you's disembodied waist and kissing with a disembodied mouth you's disembodied neck.
Yet no sooner has this act been consummated than it vanishes like everything else.
Snap—the moment's gone, into the cloud that isn't a cloud but a word for the idea of some amorphous, unidentified place, a computer, that is, a "server," specifically, whose location we haven't the faintest.
The act has vanished, all right, but it's been replaced, seemingly inexplicably, by an accident. It is not, however, the driver of the Camaro alone who's been blindsided. We too are equally shocked, though just for a time: there is, in fact, a code. The gesture of intimacy we glimpsed was a mistake, and a dangerous one at that. Too often our overtures of tenderness are made in vain. Too often, even the most insignificant of our gestures is defeated or unrequited, and we're reduced again to the flaccidity that is status quo.
The lurch and thrust of the poem is the lurch and thrust of the world it reveals. The pain of love is too great; any effort toward it is therefore immediately thwarted by subsumption in reference or direct refraction to some spectacle, abstraction, product, celebrity, or good, all of which, ultimately, epitomize the distance we've carved between our inner lives and our simulations of them.
In this instance we witness a car crashing not into another car, but into the nemesis of all drivers, a parking meter: taker of our money, beacon of the meter maids and men that slither through our streets in a kind of brutal anonymity, empowered with the ability, it so often seems, of warlocks and witches. In the moment of our meter's expiration these androids appear from nothing to give us the ticket whose fine we may ignore at peril: failure to pay will draw scrutiny from the Eye whose Gaze by the hour grows increasingly difficult to elude.
It's no accident, either, that this parking meter fronts The Twisted Spoke, a nightclub for gays whose name with its proudly overt reference to the flaw in the design—the canker in the blossom, that is, the worm in the fruit—suggests a world of debauchery and corruption, for I if for no one else. I is certainly aware of the club's existence. I knew its name well before going through CVS 's "automatic doors." And though love may abort in the drugstore, from the wiles of the world beyond, we are by comparison safe. For it's not just the city over whose dangers we must fret. Away in the wilds of Arkansas, something ominous looms: what can explain the mysterious deaths of an entire flock of birds?
And yet, and yet: even as I speaks this terror, I gainsays it with slacker superfluity:
. . . so we really didn't care.
There's refuge to be found in news that's not news, on a blog called the The Huffington Post. Which precisely is the point. For us whom other diversions (sex, drugs, and rock-and-roll) in the face of our mundane calamities reckon mountains too big to climb, what do we nowadays do but run off to the mall or, as here, dive into the black sea of the Internet, the one on our desks, on our laps, and in our hands—especially the one in our hands—what crazy power, huh?—where we lurk and surf and tweet and troll and follow and like and chat and ping until the real world draws us back to attend to real world things, until the things of the real world repel us yet again, enough to drive us back to our anesthetizing sea?
The sorts of things that will drive us back are pretty easy to guess:
The endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan drive us back.
Oil spills in the Gulf of Mexico drive us back.
Pandemic bigotry, xenophobia, and religious fanaticism drive us back.
The insatiable greed of stockbrokers and banks drives us back.
The crookery of megalopolistic corporations drives us back.
Governmental venality drives us back.
The collapse of sovereign currencies around the world drives us back.
The extinction of species and the pending extinction of species drive us back.
The imminence of environmental cataclysm drives us back.
The threat of instantaneous nuclear annihilation surely drives us back.
Great and small, atrocities flash across our gizmos and TVs, but after a moment of zinging our messages to and fro, we nearly always link on out to the easier, more entertaining sights on other sites, spectacles, mostly, since with the spectacle, as Roland Barthes astutely noted in his essay on wrestling half a century back, we the public have full reign to abandon ourselves to its "primary virtue . . . which is to abolish all motives and all consequences: what matters is not what [the public] thinks but what it sees." Barthes knew: The bulk of us don't like to think, much less to act. To think is to question, to question's to know, to know's to act, and to act, hurt. We only want to say we think and know and act. In "reality" we prefer the vertigo of our circles, spinning from nightmare to sea of black to nightmare to sea of black, telling ourselves as we do, Hey, wow, the change of scenery sure is nice . . .
The Austinian I won't say: I want to love but don't know how.
I won't say: I'm afraid in this world, where at every turn I might be run down, shot, asphyxiated, poisoned, blown up, drowned.
I won't say: And even if I could love, and even if I found another to love and be loved by, and even if we two loved and lived and had a family to live with and love, how could I? I stand no chance, we stand no chance, the children I'm afraid to have stand no chance in this touch-and-go, rat-race existence unless, among so much else, I enroll them in an ultraprivate preschool without which they'll never make the ultraprivate middle-school-prep elementary school requisite for the ultraprivate high-school-prep middle school requisite for the ultraprivate college-prep high school requisite to compete for a spot at Harvard, Berkeley, Duke, or Yale, the degree from which will grant them access to the world of elegant fakers and bakers that dictate now, as always, whether they'll fail or succeed.
I won't say: What has it come to that I must drive the children I'm afraid to have to the preschool whose playground I'm afraid for them to play on, even after they've reached it with invisible rope?
Ultimately this poem, like the majority of Austin's poems, is for me a Leibnizian monad, a lone entity of specific, unique qualities that through a sort of humanitarian hocus pocus manages to give us back to ourselves in ways we didn't know we are and, more often than not, have done all we can to avoid. Into these fifteen lines Austin has magically managed to pack our culture at large, and even the world at large. No particular thing is at risk here. What is at risk is everything. Much more can be said about the poem, but the bottom of it all, that it reveals the whole of our trembling fragility, together with the preciousness, really, of us in that fragility and the risk innate to it every second of every day, is what makes this poem the splendid thing it is. It is a poem that laughs as it cries and soars as it dies. It is a poem sick with a hopeless yearning that nevertheless mocks itself, however quietly, for having had the audacity to exist, much less to speak its name, but which even so it insists to speak.
And audacious as it is, self-mocking as it is, Austin's poetry insists to speak, it seems to me, for the plainness that that insistence has good reason. This is the way we are, his poems say, blind as we are to so very much, paramount among it the perfection of a world made blurry with our ideas. Things, actually, couldn't be better. We fuck up, and will fuck up again and again, but the world takes care of itself, the way it always has, regardless of us in our puny ways. At the end of his life, this was Leibniz's message. "If we could understand the order of the universe well enough," he said, "we would find that it surpasses all the wishes of the wisest people, and that it is impossible to make it better than it is—not merely in respect of the whole in general, but also in respect of ourselves in particular." Austin is a poet. And surely he knows it. But he doesn't once mount a soapbox to crow it. Instead he hides his poetry inside his poetry, like the anonymous sage of yore hiding jewels in the pocket of a hair shirt. The only way we stand to find these jewels is to don the shirt. Until then, the shirt will remain merely a shirt, no matter the eyes with which we see it.
My beehive arrived from bees.com
and was easy to assemble.
The bees had to be revived
with a cup of warm water,
which seemed reasonable.
I don't think they were freeze-dried
or anything, just in a deep sleep for shipping.
I'm ready to get started.
D. Foy's work has appeared or is forthcoming in Post Road, The Literary Review, Frequencies, and The Georgia Review to name just a few. His story, "Barnacles of the Fuzz," came out in Forty New Stories: New Writing from Harper Perennial, edited by Cal Morgan, and an essay on the American laundromat is due out soon in Snorri Bros.'s Laundromat, an homage in photographs to laundromats throughout New York City, available from powerHouse Books. His novel, Made to Break, will be published by Two Dollar Radio in February 2014.

Colonial to American Revolution Day (CAR) and Colonial Days
The Colonial to American Revolution (CAR) Day is an annual all-day event for first grade students. Colonial-related activities are featured in P.E., science, math, English and history classes. Dressed in colonial costumes all day, students calculate taxes to pay King George III in their mathematics class and study Benjamin Franklin, electricity and movements of atoms in science. History features historical plays written by the first graders with help from their families, while in English the students recite poetry about George Washington and write parts of the Declaration of Independence with quill pens. The plays are then performed in each respective first grade classroom. After the play performances, LCS hosts an independence family picnic on the playground. Guests are welcomed to join and should dress comfortably as we may have some fun games at the picnic.CAR (Colonies to the American Revolution) Day will be held on Friday, May 8, 2015.
Colonial Days is a similar event in which our third grade students participate. Dressed in colonial costumes all day, students present living portraits of colonial people. Additionally, students create horn books in English and participate in other Colonial activities in math and P.E. classes. The event is scheduled for Friday, May 15, 2015.
Click here for the full story of the April 2012 event from the Reporter Herald or view the photos below from our April 2013 event.

paint brand: best bang for your buck with decent quality?
I live in southern california. Whats the best value in terms of price and decent quality. (edit: for interior paint) Please name the line of the brand. I have these paint shops around me: Frazee, Dunn Edwards, Sherman Williams, Vista, Benjamin moore, and the big boxes....lowes, homedepot, true value..etc.
paint comparisons
Well, you didn't specify interior or exterior but here goes. Both Moore and Williams make products pros have sworn by for years. Dutch Boy and Sherwin Williams are produced by the same folks. I have had good luck with top of the line Dutch Boy paints for folks on a budget. Additionally, in Southern Cal you should have Standard Brands outlets which carry products made by the same folks who produce Behr paints which many Home Depots carry and with which I have had good luck. As you may know, much of a satisfactory outcome in the painting process comes in the preparation. If you are painting over well bonded paint, then deglossing and degreasing it with TSP or a similar product is a great start. If your walls are bare or a radical color change is contemplated then a decent primer chosen to bond chemically with your topcoat is a must, lastly hit this site or diynet to pick up little tips like delinting your rollers by winding tape around them and peeling it off and you'll be in good shape
1 Attachment(s)
Sherman? Any of the ones you listed top of the line paints will do a good job. You get what you pay for, lesser price = lesser quality.Personally,I have never had problems with Ben Moore, I don't use SherWin Williams because the people working there have been jerks in the past, but I am sure that is a local thing.
I've used a couple Ace paints and have been very impressed. Their Senstation interior matte is an excellent paint for the price.
Hmmm... perhaps the top-line "Contractor" paint from an actual paint store might do the trick, depending on how long you want the job to last. You can be reasonably assured that the paint will apply well, even if it won't last as long as the flagship paints (i.e. Duration, Aura, etc.)
SoCal is a different world...
Most of Southern California has different regs, so the paint I'd recommend for the other 49 (or Canada) might (most likely will) have a different formula for your area and I can't vouch for their performance (personally/professionally)
However, any of the BM Gennex Tint Platform paints will be the same
(Aura, Natura, and ben)
I can recommend any/all, as even the cheapest (ben) is pretty good
Aura (the most expensive) is King though...especially for rich, complex, or deep colors, or if wash-ability, durability, or color retention is important to you
I use other brands/lines, but that's the only line I know is the same across the board
Regardless of your area/regs, they are worth recommending anyway
Hi from San Diego.
I was recently introduced to Dunn Edwards paint by the fella doing some dry-wall work for me. We have recently painted most all the interior walls and ceiling of the house with Dunn Edwards - with excellent results. Coverage, application usability, looks, etc. Over the years I have used many of the popular brands from dedicated paint stores as well as the big box stores - I'll be using Dunn Edwards as my first choice going forward for interior painting.
I appreciate all opinions.
Anyone else's recommendations would be welcomed. Please remember to include the name of the particular line of the brand.
I second the Dunn Edwards recommendation. I did a test a couple of weeks ago and got similiar colored samples from Ben Moore, Kelly Moore, Behr (Home Depot), Sherwin Williams and Dunn Edwards. The Dunn Edwards paint went on easier and covered better IMHO. I've now painted several rooms with it in various sheens (decovel, suprema, semi-gloss). If you're a AAA member, they'll give you a 25% discount, which brings the price down almost to Behr level. The only issue for non-pros like me is that DE gears their stores to contractors - all the ones around here (SF Bay Area) are only open from like 6am-3pm M-F, so you do have to plan ahead.
Thanks jacko for mentioning the AAA discount. That makes Dunn Edwards very very attractive for me. That, and I've read Dunn Edwards is quality. Quality paint but at behr prices? Sounds like a winner to me. Thanks again, jacko.
I'm looking for the paint that covers the best
I don't care about cost. Color matching they are all pretty good from my experiences. Coverage is my main concern. I want a one coat paint that lays smooth. I've been using Behr because Home Depot is convenient but not really happy with coverage. Some contractors I know use Vista and I've tried it and it seems to work better than Behr and dry harder but it's a real inconvenience to get to their store and it can take a couple of hrs or more for a color match.
Ben was created as the head to head box store competitor for Ben Moore. I would go with the contractor grade of Benjamin Moore though. It is nice to work with but has less acrylic than the top consumer brands. Worth looking at if your primary motivation is price though. Same with Sherwin Williams.
When I was in California Kelly Moore was my go to brand but perhaps it is not availed to you in the south. I don't have experience with other brands you mention save for Behr and only when forced to use it when it was donated. I found the experience frustrating.
As mentioned, as you start paying more for paint you gain things like washability, colorfastness, etc. that are just not going to happen in a cheap paint.
Of course, whatever paint you buy prep is important and invest in nice tools. Those bag-o-brushes for $10 ain't not never gonna work out well!
And don't fall for the typical consumer traps like "one coat coverage" or "paint and primer" in one can.
Cost of paint isn't the factor you should be worrying about.
Anything from improper roller nap to low quality tape to poor brush technique can easily result in needing an additional coat, which offset any price savings. Additional, for exterior projects, the paint is there to beautify and protect work which costs far more than the paint itself. Failure on a weather-facing wall can be very expensive to repair.
Every inch of my house is covered in Sherwin Williams. I've not used other premium paints, but it beats the pants off everything I've ever bought at a big box store. Duration used to be their top-of-the-line consumer paint, and almost every square inch of my house is covered in it, but they now have a higher-rated Emerald line.
Since I probably won't be able to disuade you from the cost aspect, Sherwin is having a 40% off sale from Nov 9 (tomorrow) to Nov 11. Stack on a $10 off $50 coupon (enter your zip code here, then print) will bring it right down to Behr/Glidden/etc prices. Supplies are also 30% off, so you don't have to make a second trip to the big box for rollers, etc.
What does the acrylic do for paint?

Reader: Nobody, but nobody, puts ketchup on a hot dog
We don't yet know where Lori Midson was eating yesterday, but it involved a hot dog with a lot of ketchup. Which inspired Mantonat to serve up a classic quote from Clint Eastwood in Sudden Impact:
"God...this stuff isn't getting to me -- the shootings, the knifings, the beatings. Old ladies being bashed in the head for their social security checks. Nah, that doesn't bother me. But you know what does bother me? You know what makes me really sick to my stomach? It's watching you stuff your face with those hot dogs! Nobody, I mean nobody, puts ketchup on a hot dog!"
If you can't use ketchup on a hot dog, what is appropriate? Go ahead, make our day!

Experts Warn of Finding Love Online this Valentine's Day
Call it "My Phony Valentine."
The Better Business Bureau says single people looking for love should be careful about finding it online.
The BBB's Dennis Horton says not all romances are what they seem to be.
"Romance scams usally start out with the scam artist expressing feelings of affection," Horton said. "First they build trust, they move on to asking for money or asking for personal information. Their whole goal is here is to rip off someone."
It's called "catfishing" and Horton says it has become a bigger concern across the country -- especially around Valentine's Day when people may be more vulnerable.

March 2, 1942 – October 27, 2013
Lou's music I've loved since hearing it for the first time, as a kid in the early seventies. I recall as an eight year old, having immediate affinity for Lou's humour as he sang:
"Holly from Miami FLA who hitch-hiked her way across the U.S.A. Plucked her eyebrows on the way Shaved her legs and then he was a she, she said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side, said hey honey, take a walk on the wild side". He continued with the story of "Candy came from out on the island, In the backroom she was everybody's darling, but she never lost her head even when she was giving head she says, hey baby, take a walk on the wild side Said, hey babe, take a walk on the wild side and the colored girls go, doo do doo doo do doo …"
Lou Reed died this past weekend at the age of seventy-one, on Long Island. This past May he'd undergone liver transplant surgery. He is survived by his wife, the artist/musician Laurie Anderson.
It was just over 20 years ago, Lou sang these words:
"There's a bit of magic in everything and then some loss to even things out"
Those are lyrics from Reed's 1992 album Magic and Loss, inspired in part by the illnesses and eventual deaths of two close friends, including songwriter Doc Pomus who had given Reed his start in the music business.
This coming weekend, join me on your radio (streams live too) for an hour of the magic of Lou Reed, as fans mourn his loss, on a special edition of The Legends of Classic Rock, featuring music from his massively influential band The Velvet Underground and stories about his career.
Among the many dark and brooding moments in Reed's career, personally and musically, Lou's legacy also features some incredible positive rays of light and levity, and absolute groove, like the song I share with you below.

Former Florida State star Derrick Alexander's plans have changed recently at Bishop McLaughlin. After football coach Matt Nardo stepped down Monday morning, the former defensive standout for the Seminoles and current defensive line coach for Bishop was promoted to head coach.
"It's been a tremendous change of events these past couple of weeks," Alexander said. "I was planning to coach with Nardo, who I thought was a very good coach, but now I find myself as the head man," Alexander said.
Nardo, who compiled a 7-3 record last fall in his first season as Hurricanes head coach, will be taking a coaching position at Marietta (Ohio) College. The Pioneers finished 2-8 in the Ohio Athletic Conference last year.
"The toughest thing was telling the kids that I was leaving," Nardo said. "I've coached these kids the past three seasons and telling them that I'll be leaving was just the toughest thing to do.
"Derrick will be taking over, and he'll do a great job. He has plenty of experience and has all the tools to be a great coach."
Alexander brings an impressive resume as a player. The former defensive end played in 10 games for the Seminoles during his redshirt freshman season in 1992 before bursting onto the scene as a sophomore in 1993. He recorded 100 tackles and eight tackles for a loss, both second most on the team. Alexander had 11 tackles against Nebraska in the Orange Bowl that season to help boost Florida State to the national championship.
As a junior at FSU, Alexander was named ACC Player of the Year.
"I'm going to take everything I've learned (at FSU) from Bobby Bowden, Mickey Andrews and Chuck Amato and instill that knowledge into this program," said Alexander, who was inducted into the Florida State Hall of Fame in 2007. "I plan to not just make Bishop McLaughlin into one of the better programs in Pasco County, but in the tri-county area.
"There are some really good players here at Bishop McLaughlin and we're going to … install some more pro-style (offense) as well."
The 6-foot-4 end entered the NFL draft after his junior season and was chosen 11th overall by the Minnesota Vikings. Alexander played four seasons with the Vikings and spent one season with the Cleveland Browns before retiring. His most productive year came in his final season with the Vikings (1998), when he started all 16 games and recorded 71/2 sacks and 37 tackles.

Pros: Hmmmm... none.
Cons: I wasted $2000 between Botox and Juviderm ... result is = I look OLDER! More wrinkly, just awful!! In the mornings it is like a nightmare! My eyes are so puffy! unbelievable! I hate botox. Never again.
I just turned 40 so I wanted to look refreshed and better, boy was I wrong!
I am $2000 down the drain, $550 per injection of Botox (2) and the Juviderm and all the side effects to myself... hmm doesn't seem all that fair, does it?
Cosmetic Dermatology is one of the trickiest fields out there. It almost feels like they forget their Hippocratic Oath and just are out there to get your money, as much as possible... So sad! :(

Exploring the origins of Saucerboy, McConkey's "drunk, awesome twin"
During a 1997 trip to Valdez, AK, Shane McConkey suffered a torn ACL, but rather than spend his time on the couch, he gave birth to the whiskey-loving, sponsor-pleasing godfather of snowlerblading, Saucerboy. McConkey's character quickly rose to cult status in the ski world, and, much like the man who created him, his legacy will live on for eternity.
From redbull on YouTube:
"Who was Saucerboy? Where did he come from? And how did his popularity soar to cult proportions? Today Saucerboy is known as the alter ego that Shane McConkey and friends created to poke fun at everyone who took themselves too seriously. This is his story."

How to put my dinamic HTML website adesco.rs on CD?
I tried trial of Web2Disk product but my Cyrillic letters "crashed" cause i have 4 languages on my website im working.
Help me make my website on CD running normally.
i don t know what you exactly mean. why you need it on a cd?
Why I need it??? lol My client wants to share to his bussiness partners like CD presentation, I guess... on Fairs and such.
Why not make a presentation such as flash ? Same thing uses cloudflare and maxcdn if they are still on their websites.
Man... its more flexible to make a website and just put it on CD if I know how and with which software. I know all that stuff abt flash but some ppl not have flash player installed. Gimme a help or don't try to think instead of me. OMg, no. :rolleyes:
It would be easy enough to put static pages onto a CD/DVD
As long as the files are only HTML, images, CSS and Javascript there should be no problems.
The trouble comes with the "dynamic".
There might be a way to put a working server onto disc, but I don't know it.
Maybe you could translate the database into JSON?
Or instead of aiming for an exact clone of the site, go with only enough for demo purposes?
My website got exactly that you wrote. It have some dynamic stuff but I will be satisfied to put HTML,CSS and JS with images, to put it on cd. But how, please? I copied my website folder on CD but i got site without images. Please help. My links are all relative in HTML code but as i see, it not working right or I missing something. How to put my website on cd?
There's a "version" of a wamp server (can't remember the name offhand) which can run off a usb stick instead of being installed on a computer. You could have a look at that to see if it meets your needs but if your site doesn't make use of any server-side scripting then it may be overkill
If you have a copy on your computer with the folders and files the way you want them to be, by opening the "index" page in your browser (not by clicking on it) does everything work OK then?
And yes, the links will need to be relative links.
If it works OK on your computer, it should work OK copied over to a CD.
server2go does this, I've used it successfully for demonstrating websites in environments where connectivity is sporadic or not possible.
good thank you. I downloaded that program and extracted but how to use it? I copy that on CD or what is procedure..where to put my website ? how?
If you go to the server2go website, there is a link marked as 'documentation'. There you can read documentation on how to use the software. There is also a link marked 'support' where you can ask questions when you need help after reading the documentation.
Thak You! BIG THANKS! My website work perfectly.

CANADA STOCKS-TSX ends higher as banks, insurers gain
TORONTO, June 27 (Reuters) - Canada's main stock index ended higher on Friday as a jump in shares of banks and insurers helped overcome concerns about sluggish economic data. The Toronto Stock Exchange's S&P/TSX composite index unofficially closed up 63.51 points, or 0.42 percent, at 15,094.25. Nine of the 10 main sectors on the index were higher.

That was the name of my favorite page in Ms. magazine when I was growing up. I was a good little feminist as a child of the '70s. Ms. was new, and we had a subscription right away. Most of the magazine was over my little head, but on the back page they had (and think they still do) ads and billboards that were so objectionable toward women they were not worthy of comment.
I have thought of that through the years. About a year ago, there were awful billboards for NIP/TUCK that showed the two male leads surrounded by dismembered parts of a beautiful woman. Presently, I cringe when I see the posters for the new Bruce Willis film SURROGATES. More dismembered woman. And what of my little almost 4 year old seeing those? What is she to make of how violence toward women is glorified? Or when my son can take it. Will he think less of woman because of junk like this?

Today though, I must comment on a sports column that was published in the OC County register. This writer uses Jaycee Dugard's nearly 20 years of being held captive and raped to catch her up on what she missed… wait for it, wait for it… in the world of sports.
Pause. Yes, that's right.
The value of a child abducted, raped, kept from her family is so little that it's a column about the last 18 years of sports highlights. Read for yourself if you dare. The man is a dirt bag.
If a US Solider was a prisoner of war for 18 years and he was physically, sexually brutalized would a column be so callous? I would hope not, and I would think not.
The story of her captivity has been haunting me since it broke, as I am sure it has others. It's rare to find someone who is really this big of a jerk, but the Orange County Register has found him.
Thanks to my wonderful stepdaughter Vanessa for sending me this. There is steam coming out of my ears.

Home organization can begin with one simple tool- a household binder. Do you have one place to keep your quick-to-access, daily information? Where do you keep addresses, emergency contacts, doctors numbers, sitter details, school contacts and calendars, gift cards, receipts, menu plans, passwords, to-do list, birthday invitations…? Wouldn't it be easier to have ONE place where you go to access some of these things? A household binder is a great organization tool for anyone. My brain can't hold all of this information, nor can I remember where I've kept it all! It's very tiring.
I have sections, pockets, extra sticky notes, and blank note paper in mine. It also holds an extra checkbook, gym cards, medical cards, and those annoying key tag cards. Keeping it in view and in one location makes it a family tool. Make your binder fit your needs. Create sections, insert your own charts/checklist, or add pockets. (I use several pockets in mine)
This is your push to get started! I'm helping you start your binder with some customized printable pages.
Click the image for access. Then, simply enlarge to see better and scroll to see each page. You can then download to your computer and print away!
Don't procrastinate! This is a great first step to getting organized and your brain will thank you!
I'd love to help you with your home goals. See Services here.

Every day is a new adventure for the San Diego panda cub.
robin: I lived in Taiwan for seven years and had National Health Care there. Great, prompt care by highly trained people. My wife was in the hospital after an accident for a month. The final bill fit on one page and was $5,000. We paid it from our checking account and supplemental private insurance reimbursed us. This was after three surgeries by neurosurgeons. Most of the bill was for a private room. The bill in the States would have been at least $500,000. We found that everything there was generally 1/100th the cost of medical care in the States. Something is seriously seriously wrong here. Obamacare is the least of our worries.

They say that the best refereeing performances are the ones you don't notice, but Mark Clattenburg was never going to be that lucky on his return to Premier League action.
He spent most of his first match back in the middle since being accused of making a racist remark to Jon Obi Mikel during the Chelsea versus Manchester United match on 28 October with the jeers of the St Mary's crowd ringing in his ears. He also antagonised Norwich City by failing to spot a handling offence by Rickie Lambert before the Southampton forward scored the opening goal of the match.
But it is a poor game when the referee is the central figure, and this one died on its feet in the second half. The home supporters had hoped to see Saints move back out of the bottom three with a third successive win but instead it was Norwich who extended an impressive sequence, stretching their unbeaten league run to seven matches with their fourth successive draw on the road.
Norwich were forced to make a key change after England goalkeeper John Ruddy revealed on Twitter that he will have surgery on the thigh injury that forced him off in the away game against Everton at the weekend and is likely to be out for three months. Mark Bunn, who replaced Ruddy at Goodison Park, continued in goal.
Clattenburg was clearly not out to win any popularity contests, earning chants of "You're not fit to referee" from the home fans after 23 minutes following a series of decisions that seemed to go mostly against Southampton. He was jeered as early as the fourth minute when he refused to award a free-kick after Lambert collapsed in a heap following a challenge by Ryan Bennett. The chants began in earnest after he ignored an apparent foul by Grant Holt on Nathaniel Clyne.
But the Saints fans were overjoyed when the first free-kick he awarded in their favour, after 32 minutes, led to a goal – and one he should probably have disallowed. Adam Lallana flighted the ball in from the left, and it hit Lambert's arm before rebounding back off Holt and dropping kindly for Lambert to poke in his sixth goal of the season. Holt, Lambert's former team-mate at Rochdale, appealed in vain.
The home crowd's joy was short-lived though as Norwich levelled in the final minute of the first half thanks to a dreadful error by Paulo Gazzaniga, the goalkeeper. Clattenburg awarded a foul for Clyne's challenge on Robert Snodgrass on the right and the former Leeds midfield player bent the ball round a poorly set-up wall and under Gazzaniga's dive – the young Argentine goalkeeper's second costly error in three home games.
Man of the Match Lallana.
Match rating 7/10.
