= The journey of a lifetime
After his mother's death at the end of World War II, Jack Baker is suddenly uprooted from his home in Kansas and placed in a boys' boarding school in Maine.
Feeling lost and adrift, Jack can't help being drawn to Early, who refuses to believe what everyone accepts to be the truth about the great Appalachian bear, timber rattlesnakes, and the legendary school hero known as the Fish, who was lost in the war.
When Jack and Early find themselves alone at school, they set out for the Appalachian Trail on a quest for the great black bear. Along the way they meet some truly strange characters, several of them dangerous, all lost in some way, and each a part of the pi story Early continues to reveal. Jack's ability to be a steadfast friend to Early will be tested as the boys discover things they never knew about themselves and others.
Navigating Early is a story that will challenge and astound readers as they navigate mysterious and uncharted lands.
(From the book jacket)
January 10, 2012
One year ago today...
I received amazing news. It's not the only time I've received wonderful and life changing news. Other times:
18 years ago, the doctor said, "It's a boy!"
16 years ago, "It's another boy!"
14 years ago, "It's a girl!"
11 years ago, "It's another girl!"
9 years ago, "It's a dog!"
7 years ago... well, that must have been a slow year in the world
of amazing news, but you get the gist.
Still, January 10th, 2011 will forever be a day I will remember and celebrate. A day that will give me lots of opportunities to say to my kids, "See, amazing things happen... and they can happen to you!"
This past year has been filled with many wonderful experiences. Of course, one of the most special was the ALA conference in New Orleans where I received the Newbery Award. My family came out in full force, i.e. my husband and four kids, my sister, her husband and their four kids, and my mom and dad. I joked that we were like the Clampitt's riding into New Orleans. No, we did not strap Grandma to the top of the 15 passenger van, but we certainly felt like we had struck it rich and really enjoyed the cement pond at the hotel.
I've met many wonderful people, spoken at lots of schools and conferences, gotten some great fan mail. One of my favorites was from a 4th grader who told me he was glad that Kansas was now known for something other than basketball and weather! That's big noise, especially since Kansas is pretty much the birthplace of basketball.
So 2011 was a wonderful year but not only because of a special award. Other big events: Lucy got her braces off. Paul got his braces on. Luke crammed 80 high school kids in our garage for a dance and everyone survived. Grace's singing has not broken any windows... yet. (Lucy made me put that.)
And I finished my next book! It is called Navigating Early and will come out next spring. More on that soon.
So, life goes on and life is good.
April 2011
Okay. I've procrastinated long enough. Actually, I wouldn't call it procrastination. I just haven't wrapped my brain around the fact that people I'm not related to are actually reading my website.
I had a fun time creating this website last summer in preparation for the book coming out and part of that was because I approached it as if I was just talking to my sister, my kids, or my friend across the street.
Then January 10th rolled around and the Newbery seal went on my book, and all of the sudden people were e-mailing me, telling me something they had read on my website. I think that's when I froze up a bit and I gave myself the excuse of not updating it because I had to write my Newbery acceptance speech. Or I needed to prepare for upcoming speaking engagements. And those were valid excuses. But then, they became a little less valid – like I need to fold some laundry. Or I need to let the dogs out. Or I really need to change out that roll of toilet paper.
That's when I realized I had a bit of writer's block regarding my website. So I decided to go to go back to what worked the first time. I'm just going to write as if I'm talking to my sister, my kids, or my neighbor across the street - and just tell you what's been going on in my world lately.
In a nutshell, life has been wonderful, crazy, and very busy. I've had many invitations to speak at schools, conferences, book festivals. What a thrill to get to talk to so many people who are very excited about my book!
In fact, I would have to say that one of the most unexpected and most wonderful results of winning the Newbery has been the way my local community in Wichita and people across Kansas have embraced the book and celebrated this wonderful honor with me. It's like there's this big Newbery train and everyone feels free to jump on. And I love that!
I also love the fact that I've had some great help. While I was in New York immediately following the Newbery announcement, my sister and our good friend CY (C.Y. not sigh) came up with a To-Do list to help me in those busy days. Things like #4 – Make new business cards. #7 - Start a scrapbook. And my favorite one, #13 – get pre-loaded credit cards for CY and Annmarie.
We set up weekly meetings to help keep me organized. They consist of Annmarie and CY showing up at my house asking, "Is the coffee on?" Or "Can I fix myself an egg?" Then Annmarie's kids eat their breakfast at the counter and CY's son tells us how the Wichita State Shockers are doing. As soon as everyone's fed, the kids go off to play or watch a show and I clean up the kitchen. Then we start to discuss something, like updating my website, and then Annmarie's littlest one has to go to the bathroom. Then we start to talk about up upcoming event just in time for CY's phone to ring. Then I start to pull out my calendar to go over a few odds and ends as CY packs up to take Jake to school and Annmarie gathers up her kids. Then I go in the family room to pick up the monopoly game that has been "played with" and is now on the floor.
I get a lot done at those meetings.
But my daughter Grace did start a wonderful scrapbook full of Moon Over Manifest pictures and memorabilia, Annmarie did design some great new business cards, along with some for herself and CY giving them each the job title of "Assistant to the Assistant." They are still waiting for their fully loaded credit cards but I do make sure they get coffee and an egg once a week.
We're all chipping in and we're all having a great time.
Hopefully, I'll get another update in before long. I need to go change a roll of toilet paper.

Hands up everyone who first met their current partner in a London pub or bar? Sometimes we're in danger of glossing over the vital role these watering holes play in the social life of the city. London's pubs and bars are a priceless asset. They are where people meet and talk, and, as such, should be celebrated.
Despite turbulent times - the changes pending in the new anti-smoking legislation, the implications of extended opening hours and the continued blurring of the distinction between "gastro" and "pub" - London's pubs and bars are proving versatile and go from strength to strength. Their achievements should be properly recognised.
The Evening Standard awarded its first Pub of the Year plaque nearly 40 years ago (the Bar of the Year Award was established in 1982). This year, we are looking to single out 2006's top pub and top bar. The pub may be a bright modern establishment, a gastro-pub or an old-style boozer, while the bars may vary from the latest "concept" job to a classic cocktail place.
To win this year's coveted plaque they will need to be the very best that London has to offer. Along the way, they will not only have had to earn your votes at this the nomination stage, but also survive an inspection by the judging panel in the next round. Initially we need to cut down the list of 10 pubs and 10 bars to five finalists in each category and the responsibility for that decision rests with you.

Coming with small kits, we have immediately received an upgrade to a superior room - bigger and more spacious; excellent breakfast with lots of choice of health food; superbe location in downtown Bergen - everything can be reached by foot bar/restaurant as well as room service close food/kitchen at 10PM.
The room was very clean and the location could not have been better. Able to see the city of Bergen by foot from this hotel. A bit warm at night in the room as air conditioner was not all that effective
Seems OK to me - I did have little time to sample anything special coming in late and leaving early, so here are some points: A. Ok room B. Quiet - slept well. C- Nice breakfast D.Good parking. E- Nice staff
The best choice of dished on breakfast. It was not so pleasant to find out that there's no booking for all 3 rooms and after that we have opportunity to estimate the "smoking rooms" in spite of no smoking had been reserved yet. Never try to stay in "smoking rooms".
The location is great. The staff in general was very nice 1)the swimming pool doen't look veryappealing. 2) the hotel looks very classy on the website but not very much in reality 3) bread crumbs on the dark carpet in the breakfast launge makes the place look very dirty
Staff was very helpful, friendly and pleasant. Breakfast is very good. The location of the hotel near the harbour and the (old) centre is all within walking distance, thus very good for us with a young child. Public transport and restaurants are also close to the hotel. This hotel would benefit from an extensive refurbishment. Bathroom was quite small. In general, this hotel is definitely suitable for a few days (city trip).
Julie. There was one fantastic clerk who, being so terrific, made up for a lot of hotel mistakes. She called around town to help me book a New Year's Eve celebration, and helped me arrange to have mail delivered. She was among the best hotel representatives I've ever encountered. The hotel messed up the reservation. They had me listed as one night instead of two and so did not make up my room. They gave me a bit of a run-around canceling my room key also and overcharged me. When I called they corrected the charge. It is still a great hotel... largely because of Julie, but on the whole the staff was quite personable and caring.
We chose this hotel based on its proximity to the train station. It is a large facility with 20+ floors and good views over the city. Very disappointed we were not able to have dinner in the top of the facility because it's closed on Sunday. The entrance to the hotel was uninviting - dirty, stained concrete, looks across at another large building, very little greenery or flowers in a country that usually has spectacular displays. The only dining facility open during our stay was the bar - open to the lobby. It carpet was soiled and stained. The huge breakfast buffet included many items and for the entire time we were there it was swarming with people. Tables were not cleared for 20-30 minutes, it was difficult to find a staff person to bring coffee. Most of the food looked mediocre or tired. Really. Expected more from Radisson. My husband insists we go back to Hiltons.
Everything, excellent breakfast.
The new restaurant is fantastic. Traditional Norwegian dishes with a modern twist. Clean, modern comfortable room. Happy to have wooden floor with no carpeting. Very attentive staff and excellent service. Very welcoming atmosphere! It was surprising how many people who worked there did not speak Norwegian.
comfotable dirty under the beds:
Great location and nice and warm. Great choice at breakfast. Staff friendly and helpful Looks a bit dated now and need a refurb as I stayed her in 2001 and it was still looking smart then
Perfekt beliggenhed og god service
Det var ok, men følte jeg var stoppet i en æske hvor gardinet ikke skulle trækkes fra, og et lofts arbejde der ikke var gjort færdig, hul i loftet. Forklar kunden værelsets størrelse, og luk hullerne i loftet.
Udsigten fra vinduet på et loftsværelse I information om hotellet er oplyst at al brug af internet er gratis. Det viste sig kun at være, hvis man selv medbragte en laptop
Meget venlig og serviceminted personale. Der var MEGET støvet, der stod en gammel juledekoration på gangen som dørstopper (brandfarlig!!)! og vinduerne var MEGET beskidte, også indvendig!! man var ikke gode til, at fylde op ved morgenmaden og heller ikke m.h.t. kaffe og te på værelset!
Super beliggenhed og fin service. Stedets ene restaurant 'Mezzo' serverer fremragende mad og kan anbefales. Et stille hotel til trods for menneskemylderet ganske tæt på. Et lækkert værelse, renoveret med omtanke, respekt for stedets historie og gedigne materialer. Dejligt at kunne lave en kop kaffe/the på værelset.
Great view of Bryggen if you get a room with a view. Great location as well. Rates are a bit high considering this is not a luxury hotel.
The location of the hotel was excellent, just in front of the Brygge with all this wonderful wooden houses. Our room had a lovely sightseeing of the harbour from the bed. We surely will be back to that hotel.
The complimentary breakfast buffet was quite good -- lots of options, large amounts of food. Staff generally not helpful -- only some of the staff was able to provide information about tourist activities. Not readily responsive to resolving issues with the room. Rooms are very clean, but somewhat old. The beds were old and not very comfortable.
I was upgraded to a sea view room on arrival
Room overlooked harbor and Bryggen area and was on 6th floor. Room was great.
Made reservation through third party. Upon arrival the front desk agent told me the reservation was not showing so he made me a new reservation. Not only did he charge me more for the new reservation but I was also charged by the third party. Dispute has received no response yet.
Harbor view. Facility is a little old but it is not big deal.
Location There was
Hotel is neat and tidy and in a good location
The bed was not conformable as it was a provisional double bed.Old furniture. There were not enough towels
Location is excellent, and we enjoyed a spacious corner room. Dining room views are superb, and staff very friendly and helpful. Bed was actually a fold down Murphy bed from wall, not as comfortable as it should have been for the beautiful room, and it was awkwardly made up with overlapping sheets.
The harbour view; proximity to centre. The food was very good, and the place was very clean and smart. Room was small with very little storage and no room to put up the suitcase stand provided! Also the restaurant service was chaotic and haphazard - at breakfast they were very slow to refill the things that had run out. But food was good.
God beliggenhed, god morgenmad og venligt, effektivt personale Nej
God morgenmad -selve maden og udvalget Morgenmaden burde arrangeres bedre, så alle gæster kan komme til med et minimun af ventetid. F.eks mere midt i lokalet så personalet også kan komme ind og ud af dørene til køkkenet
udmærket nej
God beliggenhed. Alt er dyrt i Norge, herunder prisen på dette budgethotel.
sengene var ret smalle
The location of the hotel Nothing
Breakfast; proximity to the city center The hotel is old and ill maintained; the staff tends to provide wrong information; bad smell often spreads in the corridors
Friendly staff, and the hotel is very well situated...very good services too... no, everything was fine...
The breakfast was excellent. Yes, there was no soap in the room. Had to go to the reception which first had to verify before bringing the soap.
Location. Cleanliness of room, lack of attention to request i.e. I requested an elevated room, what I actually got was a room on the first floor with a view of the ugly roof. Staff were not very friendly or helpful.
The breakfast was extremely good! We were sleeping on the second floor. Unfortunatly there is a club playing on the lower floor behind the main reception. It was quite difficult to sleep in the evening due to the noise.
The pillows I would like some more variation for breakfast
The room was not made up on one day even after the desk had been informed. There was an attempt to overcharge me although this was rectified once I produced some documentation.
Friendly staff, big rooms, big and comfortable beds, exellent location, good breakfast
Bed is very confortable over the average and people are very helpful and polite Rooms have quite old furniture not in line with price
Savnede at kunne åbne vinduet på værelset. Bløde madrasser og dårlige hovedpuder. Morgenmadsrestauranten kunne trænge til en opfriskning og ekstra personale i "myldretiden".
elevatoren En dobbeltseng i et alt for lille rum til det. Man kunne ikke se himlen fra rummet. Det føltes meget indelukket. Ingen shampooe den var tom.Lommetørklædeboksen var tom. Toiletpapirholderen var itu. Man kunne ikke lave en kop kaffe på rummet. Køleskabet var tomt. Der var meget uklare billeder på TV. Flot rekalme for hotellet uden at kunne leve op til det. Prisen for høj til den kvalitet jeg blev budt.
Personalet var meget imødekommen, da vi ønskede et værelse, hvor man kunne åbne vinduerne, fordi på det væerelse vi først fik, var alle vinduerne lukket og man føler en meget indelukket atmosfære. I skulle igen indføre nogle enkelte værelser med tilladt rygning.
Dejligt hotel. Styr på sagerne. Ro og fred. Herlig morgenmad.
Fint hotel med central beliggenhed, men internet og TV virkede ikke selv om begge dele var gratis. God morgenmad. Internet og TV virkede ikke selv om begge dele var gratis. Måske derfor ?
This hotel is great. The Strand hotels in Scandanavia are good ones. This location is perfect as it is right on the square in close proximity to harbor and walking distance to train station. Service excellent. We would stay again.
Proximity to the harbor, city, and airport bus stop. Price was a little high.

I'm too tuckered out to do a rewrite - my best friend died a year and a half ago, my dog 3 weeks before, and had an injury several years ago that has taken longer to heal than expected. I'm still recovering from all those fun fun fun things. My pictures are still from a few years ago...all on the to-do list. Anyway, disclaimers aside, here's the short form:
You like Bach? Outdoors? Hate parking meters? Like the Dalai Lama? or at least think this Karma thing might be a possibility? up for biking/hiking/yoga?, then send me a message :)
"You'll be awful glad you did!" (Mr. Pinky, from the ORIGINAL film Hairspray) -
Nov 2014 - the below needs updating. - but too much going on to do so now - welcoming some great friends (early music interests a plus) - I moved to SF Bay area around May 2014.,
UPDATE - visiting NYC to scope out apartments; moving there in August 2015
Anyways, below is my very looooonnnnnnnnggggggg profile....but I give up. I'm trying to be different....you know, the same as everyone else, all about zero body fat, the clubs, watching Celebrity Housewives and and getting just the right clothes for the gym and for the Abbey....and focus on the externals, since no one cares about the insides, I'm trying to focus on the outsides more..but here I am, in case there is something on the insides that is appealing...but if not, despite my attempts, I've tried to be like everybody else, but apologies, I'd rather practice Beethoven, then listen to rap much too loudly music at the gym....(although I totally am a great workout partner and am always open to suggestions and a good bad influence!)
"I try to be my best. It's good to be your best." - Echo, The Dollhouse.
For a gay professional baroque musician, teacher, Tibetan buddhist, my self-summary is a multi-continent excursion...so grab your passport...and strange to write it out...but here goes:
A well meaning guy (I choose to believe that...really....hmm...really) opened with a succinct message that my profile was verbose. Verbose, trying to be something to put a smile on your face, yet sharing about stuff....it's a fine line. So go ahead, just click on the photos and skip to the bottom if you like....otherwise I hope you enjoy the story....(since its a internet meat market, the colorful info which is my natural style...or some would say lack of it...its deliberate to help you and me, whoever you are, discover we have some sweet things in common. Something In Common, as JD Salinger might put it.)
I'm a masculine, down to earth, loyal and goodhearted guy.
I like to play Bach and like riding in a jeep or truck in the the desert and camping and hiking around rivers. My Jeep died a couple years ago - car accidents - not so fun (Mink Stole in John Water's Female Troubles playing Car Accident is the exception) - (which kinda interrupted my gym stride for me and finally got green flags to get back at it), and the Hyundae Elantra is NOT doing the trick, but a rockabilly truck I am hoping is in the near future :)...need somethin that'l carry surfboard and harpsichord, c'mon! I'll settle for a Volvo stationwagon most likely:)
I'm into 21st century and 18th century musical keyboard instruments, surfboards, cowboy boots, movies, and regular stuff.
And not so regular stuff - from harpsichords to the music of Wendy Carlos - who inspired me in many ways - and helped me realize that well, wow, I'm sort of different as well.
Also very fortunate; I got to grow up listening to my heros and musical role models - and move to NYC and study with them. I am a very blessed guy. And now I get to share a 300 year old tradition with others for a living. Way cool.
I also enjoy good food, good Company, and genuinely good people - always the best when spending time at The Fun Table together.
Otherwise, I'm just trying to grow as a person. As the Dalai Lama said "Help others if you can help them; if you can't help them, at least don't harm them." And I practice. Meditation (HARD!!). The Goldberg Variations (Also HARD!!).
Mostly though, trying to figure out this divine spiritual dance called life. Trying to learn how not to be a schmuck towards others unintentionally. Studying great ancient traditions to turn my world into an awesome reality through understanding a little thing called Action, or Karma. And I like to share anything that's helped me with you, so your life can be sweeter, too.
I'm not so good at Surfing. But want to be. A surfer friend said, "nah, don't worry about standing up so much,...just take a board and ride the waves in like bodysurfing...you'll have just as much fun, and heck, you'll even find your balance without even trying". I have two boards...don't be shy....see below; Great Date option #1) I have gone out a couple times (it's a laugh and lots of fun, but I DID get a bodyboard at Costco, and plan to get a second one, so that would be a much easier Great Date Option #1
I rode horses and motorcycles as a kid. I'd like to be living in a less dense area and get back to that. At least the riding horses part; I have a friend who is going to hopefully help me get back into the saddle soon :)
Probably won't be really good, but it will be really fun.
I discovered I'm good at composing when a friend asked me to compose for his documentary The Invisible Mexicans of Deer Canyon. Look up HollywoodBaroque on the web and please use my mp3s for yoga, mediation, or just hopefully you'll enjoy them!
I'm good at playing the harpsichord as well. Who'd 've thunk it?!
I like building things with my hands...in this virtual age, I like makin' stuff. I've figured out how and made a real virtual harpsichord that won't require 6 trainers from Gold's Gym to help move; because I want to be playing every few weeks for a retirement community, doing benefits for The Trevor Project, and for other community enclaves, giving my heart in the form of gorgeous 16th-18th century music that a gay man, trapped in a tibetan buddhists body, living in OC - seems to be really good at - and to share this with others. Music has touched my life in so many ways... that you'll have to ask about over coffee. It is my passion. And I get to teach, and get paid for talking about it as well...very cool.
1)I'm a pretty nice guy.
2)That I like to laugh. Alot.
3)How attentive I am to others.
4)How focused and committed I can be...
3 hours can pass while I work on an edit, or when I get into the zone and practice 100 year old technical studies forgetting to eat dinner! Or engrossed with a friend / boyfriend talking and many other activities.....
This can come out as watching Buffy episodes back to back for 3 hours with a friend without realizing. Some people think that's a cool thing. I think that's a cool thing.
Using my Meteor-Freak Superpowers for Good
Or this can come out as doing whatever needs to be done to help a friend in need...flying cross country when no one else will to help in a dire situation, or helping someone through a personal crisis or problem.
5) That I try earnestly to be of service and a kind and decent guy to others. That I am a devoted teacher and friend and companion. Loyal, honest and great to spend time with at "The Fun Table" (concept courtesy of Wendy Carlos' amazing loving friend and producer, the amazingly talented Rachael Elkind, who inspired me to be an equally hopefully devoted producer! Rachel and I would have Popovers at the Popover Cafe in NYC and talk about the meaning of life had much to do with Good Company, Breaking Bread with loving friends at The Fun Table, as often as possible)
6) Erroneously they assume I'm straight....(I think there is a huge Kinsey 6 hovering above my head, but apparently not)
but since I just watched a very wonderful gay film and this guy keeps coming up as being really amazing, starting out of order:
First off, the movies with Matthew Montgomery - he is an awesome gay actor, and his films he is in are inspiring and not the cliche's that can also be really fun and sweet, but he takes it to another level...check him out!
Shows. Hmm.
Saving Grace (I think I was a hot sexy lesbian cop cowboy in a previous life),
Justified (I think I wanted to be a hot Marshall in a former life),
In Plain Sight,
Sex and the City
(Like Carrie, I believe in Love...and integrity...and humour)
and few others you'll have to ask me about :)
Okay, those are obviously thematic. I do like hiking in boots near rivers and chapparal alot.
Buffy, Firefly (woo hoo, a space western), Dollhouse, Angel - yes, a shameless Joss Whedon fan - he always writes about empowerment, justice, virtue, The Powers That Be, and nobility of honor; things that inspire me to be my best. I try to be my best. And if you caught an episode or two of Buffy, and think its about vampires, watch them back to back on Netflix, and a deeply spiritual, humanistic, inclusive, very pro gay/lesbian, mythological arc of inspiration, empowerment, and love and compassion will likely make you a fan for life, and while you will laugh, you will love the characters, and you will be deeply moved, and I think even changed for the enrichment of the profound journey "dressed up as an apparent show about a girl who slays vampires"; All of Whedon's shows are similarly subversive works of humanity and art......
Also in the Whedonverse:
A late discovery this year would be the surprisingly smart, funny as fuck, yet sweet and with a good soul and a texture of transgender specific morality (how did this happen on CBS?), the series How I Met Your Mother (many Joss Whedon producers/writers/actors in the mix here); going on association with the Awesomely talented and Very Gay and Smart Neil Patrick Harris, Prop 8 - The Musical, and the webmovie: Dr. Horrible.
When people think I'm not with it (listening to old dead composers mostly) I point out that I am not missing pop-culture and in fact, I could probably teach an academic class how that Buffy is as great an artwork as the Symphonies of Beethoven (which I really love - but only on period instruments - the Hanover Band does a bang up job.) Anyway, I point out that I am very well balanced in my cultural responsibilities!
And Law and Order, (there's still somethin about that justice thing....
Movies; part I: Trick (hey, I'm a pianist, one of my favorite gay movies; and with both Tori Spelling AND Coco Peru!); The Broken Hearts Club (that Timothy Olyphant DOES get around, huh?), Muriel's Wedding (always inspired by the triumph of overcoming adversity), and lots of Australian Films....like the wide open spaces...What's Up Doc - Madeline Kahn's debut, and a non-stop laugh fest about the perverted twisted world of a Musical Archeologist, also known officially as Musicology. the ology of Music. Music as a science? "That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard" (Judy Maxwell). Also how can you not love Buck Henry (very gay and very smart) who wrote this amazing screenplay, and it's easy to fall in love with his exchange "Emerson....I adore anyone who adores Emerson....I adore anyone who adores anyone who adores Emerson....your turn...."; and Eunice Burns/Madeline Kahn schrilling "You call this a honeymoon?" I am probably a combination of both Judy Maxwell and Howard Banister, so I can't help it....and I'd love to have know the late, great Madeline Kahn. We all miss her.
And just recently re-watched Brokeback Mountain and was blown away .... it is amazing we are still on page 1 of that struggle with DOMA...
Deserving its own paragraph, Absolutely Fabulous and French and Saunders. And French and Saunders "Mamma Mia" which immediately disqualifies me for the OGT awards, since I can't even imagine sitting through the original that the parody, well, parodies. I'm sure I have upset alot of people now.
And some of my other favorites and inspirations: Queer as Folk (helped me realize how rich the gay community can be), Pink Flamingos (mostly all of John Waters with Divine, and Serial Mom), the 2009 version of Battlestar Galactica; one of the best "coming out" genre book: The Movie Lover. Back to films, hmm, The Year of Living Dangerously (electricity when Sigourney Weaver and Mel Gibson - before he was a schmuck - caught each others eye...ever so romantic...and yes Linda Hunt getting the Academy Award for her portray of a guy, awesome), Gallipoli, The Last Picture Show, (amazing...Peter Bogdanvich is ubertalented) - and relatedly Barry Lyndon - Staney Kubrick and one of the most stunning Langsam artistic FILMS ever made - and no matter what we think now, Ryan O'Neil was more than a sexy musicolgist and eye candy (and very very funny in What's Up Doc), but truly a talented actor. Also yes, going on free association, Paper Moon, also amazing.
Also mainstream favorites are Smallville (thought season 10 was lame duck "season"; season 8 with Doomsday would have been a GREAT place to end - depth of writing, character, and c'mon, you just have to love Chloe Sullivan (or want to be her), and Damages (note that Season 2 has that Olyphant guy, again...go figure).
Movies: Again, Brokeback Mountain, Milk, both very moving, and also very important and very sad, too. Some recent new favorites for their own peculiar ways: Easy A, (just so funny..and sweet...talented actress...always a sucker for a strong smart female lead, or an underdog that makes good) and Thor....all about nobility, honor, integrity, things dear to my heart.
And a list to round things up:
Tigerland, The Home At The End Of The World, David's Birthday, Latter Days, Jeffrey, Elizabeth, The Living End, Joy Ride, Dangerous Liaisons, The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Rescue Dawn (totally blown away), Southland Tales, The Buddha, and by association, The Matrix (great score, and Keanu, how can you go wrong?), and finally despite the Scientology mishap, Tom Cruise in Top Gun and The Last Emperor; the latter he proves he is truly talented, and cinematographically, the film is breathtaking.
OK, and my all time possibly favorite film - Muriel's Wedding; for so many reasons....but that's what a date is for, right?
And I just stumbled on (in case its one of your favorites as well, and you just cant help to laugh and smile: -
I also like watching rowing (did some rowing in school), swimming and water polo
I'm forgetting some things, but they'll come later...that's what a date is for, right?
Too many to list here, but some dear ones:
Tales of the City...I keep hope I will get to meet Mrs. Madrigal.
Eric Berne wrote some awesome books on how to figure out this life thing. (If you haven't read "What Do You Say After You Say Hello - The Psychology of Human Destiny")
So did some amazing spiritual teachers like The Dalai Lama, Michael Roach (check out The Eastern Path To Heaven), and Dame Edna. Yes, Dame Edna. On that note, Jane Wagner and Lily Tomlin have done a lot for us to both laugh and learn and grow spiritually...all at the same time. Alot.
Music...that's a huge sweet topic. I'll go with performers for $1000: Glenn Gould, Trevor Pinnock, Wendy Carlos, Anthony Newman. Simon Standage and his The Solomon Quartet (You don't know him? He turned the Four Seasons back into a true Masterpiece that is as good as Bach!). And the greats of the past - Alfred Cortot, Furtwangler, Fritz Reiner (Am I the only one who thought he looked like Grandpa, from the Munster's, on the cover of his recording of Ein Heldenleben?), and the great Billie Holiday and friends. And I can't leave out the Swingle Singers (The Swingle Singer's rendition of Mozart's Magic Flute and The 1812 Overture will make you laugh and bring tears to your eyes)....my iTunes is a sweet lovin' paridise. 340GBs and counting of hi-res Apple Lossless tracks!
Oh yes, and MINA, the Italian singer; if Edith Piaf was the antecedent, MINA was the consequent! She is amazing! You can hear she is singing about great love even though I don't know Italian! She deserves her own paragarph!
Classy Books: Mary Renault's Alexander Trilogy - Fire from Heaven and The Persian Boy. I want to go to Greece; a past life thing for sure. And Yes, when I was younger and very idealistic, I did read Plato and Homer from the Loeb Classical Library editions...and for a NY minute I tried to learn ancient Greek.....I realized working out triple counterpoint combinations in Bach were more my thing!
Theres a theme in all of this I think! Mostly anyway.
Food.....can be pretty ordinary stuff....like great Italian food, but the best part is the dinner companion. Tacos with a buddy by the shore, in wetsuits after tumbling in the surf, with sand still on our chest and in our hair (hopefully not in the tacos)....a home run.
1) my sweet Lama,
2) Music
3) Good Company, the night sky, and Laughing with others
4) Joss Whedon
5) My awesome friends, amazing mother, and the spiritual guides that have been following me around all my life, even if I'm mostly clueless (another great movie). And sometimes, I live in deep gratitude for - when I can remember!
6a) Even if I lose the battle, never giving up the war, and living by ethics, honor, and truth...certain vows that I've tried to follow - My Bodhisattva Vows :),
3/6b) Sharing all of this amazing stuff with others, at Starbucks over coffee...
6c) My dog zephyr
6d) Hiking, camping, falling down on my surfboard, wetsuits for two.....and a great pair of boots (I live in 'em)
6e) The love I have for others, the awe and respect I have for others who have given so much for me, and this country as well, and the wish I could repay the kindness through realizing fully my spiritual path to enlightenment - so I could manifest as whatever others needed to make them happy, to free them from suffering
6f) And a great workout from a hike to working out with a partner, to Tibetan Heart Yoga (still just learning that, but it is a great yoga practice!)
6g): Always have aspirations, based on helping others; Hope.
6h to infinity) Never give up.
Not thinking....looking up at the night sky...hiking in the chaparral...just soaking in the amazing stuff that is nature...
Bach Cantatas (how the F$*K did he write all them?), playing keyboard instruments and the music of Bach, Haydn (including his chamber music and string quartets), learning how great composers taught so that I can teach better.
How I can forget all the spiritual teachings of the Tibetans in a NY Minute when my order is screwed up at Starbucks and I realize I am an Awake Tea away from being a schmuck at any time.
Having more compassion for others. and Myself.
Is it too late for me to have 6 pack abs?
Moving out of the city so I can hike, camp, go riding, both on my own, but also with great companions. Hollywood is a remarkable place, but I could see moving to another berg, city, state, city-state, or even country...the world is amazing!
sometimes going to a yoga class,
sometimes having great fun, having dinner and movies with friends or just talking about karma and being surrounded by Compassionate Holy Beings who are in disguise as friends, and strangers, and even the guy who took my seat....who push us towards developing an even more loving heart....
Walking the dog,
And then watching Flashpoint or Joss Whedon
I have a QAF RAGE lunchbox that my best friend Jonathan gave me for Christmas; and it is next to a bust of Alexander the Great on the top of my bookshelf; And I was a member of the Official Elvira Fan Club.
*(closest to that is my Trick DVD - I'll not be shamed, but proud! C'mon, no comparison, the guy plays the adagio from one of Beethoven 's Last Piano Sonata's while finally almost getting to have his moment with the humpy dancer from the bar! Sweet, Hot, Romantic...and with Tori Spelling playing the best faghag and with Coco Peru.....and besides, I can even play you that adagio...its one of B's sweetest)
1) you have a truck we can fit surfboards and harpsichords into :)
2) you can tell me what Faith means when she says "it's five by five", or at least you're intrigued enough to watch Buffy with me..
3) or quite simply if you want to spend time at the Fun Table, and take a hike up Conversation Hill together...
4) If you have a bodyboard and a wetsuit or heck, I have two boards, so we can have fun....don't have to be great at it to have lots of fun. Surf and sand and boards....would be a great first date
5) Or, if you would like to go camping sometime and stare in awe at the stars while listening to the crackling fire, that'd also be cool, as well.
6) some of the above really speaks to you, and
7) you don't think Beethoven sucks :)
You should be communicative...fuck, after this exposition, I'm very much wanting to hear from you.....I'm tired of talking .... let's get to the good stuff thats coming...coffee or tea and not typing....
"Remember, be calm, be yourself, be relaxed. Just remember, everything depends on this!"
- Eunice Burns - What's Up Doc (Madeline Kahn).
So send me a message...even if its just some quotes....extra points if you can cite your sources! (I like to steal from the best, so I figure its good to site my sources! i.e. "Oh, give me another injection of Paralox" - Patsy or Edie - Absolutely Fabulous!")
If you are brave, tell me something about your passions, life, and dreams....
I hope you, and all the guys (and girls) on this site find amazing friends and the love of their lives....
"if you can help others, help them; if you can't, at least don't be a schmuck" (Daiai Lama/Michael Roach)
thanks for reading.....

'Tis great to beat the Brits' - O'Donovan brothers' interview after reaching final
This is absolute gold from Ireland's new favourite Olympians, Gary and Paul O'Donovan.
The O'Donovan brothers from Skibbereen in Co Cork finished third in their rowing semi-final to reach the A final in the men's lightweight double sculls.
Their semi-final was won by France (6:34.43) ahead of the United States (6.35.19) but Ireland were very comfortable in third place in 6.35.70 with the Great Britain boat, which included Coleraine-born oarsman Richard Chambers, a distant fourth in 6:38.76.
After their excellent race, the duo gave this honest, hilarious interview:

The Team Ireland rowers also have a fairly simple gameplan for tomorrow's final, scheduled to start at around 2:45pm Irish time:

By Jerry Potter, USA TODAY
CHASKA, Minn. Hazeltine National, where the PGA Championship begins today, is the longest course in major championship history at 7,674 yards.
It has four par-5s that stretch almost 1.5 miles combined.
"There's never been a time when you faced four par-5s this long," said Tom Lehman, the 1996 British Open champion. "It really puts a premium on driving the ball. If you miss a tee shot and end up in thick rough or a bad lie in the bunker, it becomes a driver and whatever it takes to get in position to hit a 3-iron into the green. … If you get the tee shot out of position, you may not be able to reach the green in three."
SCORES: Follow the PGA Championship
MAJOR BREAKTHROUGH: Golfer's life changes after major win
TWITTER: Steve DiMeglio is at the course
At most courses that host majors, the par-5s are the scoring holes where top players — especially the long hitters — expect to grab an advantage.
The par-5s here are: No. 3, 633 yards; No. 7, 572 yards; No. 11, 606 yards; and No. 15, 642 yards. The PGA's Kerry Haigh, who sets up the course, is expected to mix up the yardages in response to the wind, which could blow 20 mph Friday and Saturday.
Haigh wants one par-5 that gives the players a chance to reach the green in two shots, and that's most likely No. 7. From the forward tee it would shrink to 520 yards, a distance that is reachable for most touring pros.
"You're still going to be thinking birdie off the tee, but the only hole you're going to reach in two shots is 7," Phil Mickelson said after a practice round Wednesday. "For a lot of people, none of the par-5s will be reachable in two."
Mickelson doesn't have much enthusiasm for the other par-5s.
"No reason to go for it on 3," he said, adding he'd play a 3-wood off the tee, a 4- or 5-iron short of the green and a wedge to the green.
As for 11 and 15, he said, "They're just long. You can't reach them in two, but there is an advantage to getting up close to the green on your second shot."
Hazeltine, which opened in 1962, was built by Robert Trent Jones. His son Rees Jones has remodeled it repeatedly, adding length and bunkers that will challenge this generation of powerful touring pros.
"The hardest thing for an architect to do is make par-5s for modern players," Jones said, "because they hit the ball so far."
Jones believes par-5s should be five-shot holes — three to the green and two putts.
"What we try to do is make the players have to think on their second shots," he said. "They have to place the ball on the second shot where they can access the hole from the proper angle."
Jones' advice this week is to watch for players with good short games to score well.
"People like Zach Johnson and Mike Weir— they aren't the longest hitters, but they are good wedge players," Jones said.

text: I've read that it wouldn't take much for propane prices to go sky high once again this winter or the next. They say that exports continue to increase since other lands are willing to pay more for the fuel and new ports needed to fill tankers are now built and are busy. Also some pipelines have been converted to other fuels and reversed. I don't know much about that... Another factor is the price of dry corn. It pays to dry it and sell instead of storing it and letting it dry naturally while waiting for the price to rise. I had my tank filled for the year today at $1.529 for 380 gallons. Not bad considering what last winters prices were and with that plus my wood I'll be warm this winter.

Strange Trees are the unofficially named objects in Devil May Cry 4. They rot when they come in contact with the Sephirothic Fruit, opening up new paths for Nero and thus functioning in a similar way to Sealed Doors. The origins of these trees are unknown, although they are probably a result of the demon infestation in the forest.
The largest tree of this kind is found by Nero in the Order of the Sword's HQ, inside Agnus's Room. It grew so large that it prevents a bridge within the compound from lowering. After Nero nearly defeats Agnus in battle, Sanctus kidnaps Kyrie. This enrages Nero so completely that he punches the root-covered floor of the room several times, causing the large tree to disintegrate and allowing him access to the other section of the headquarters.
Strange Trees block off several paths throughout the maze-like Mitis Forest, forcing Nero to take a certain route. After Nero obtains the Sephirothic Fruit in Mission 7, Strange Trees blocking paths will disappear when examined.

I am constantly on the prowl for new adventures, and have a checklist of different activities I am working on trying to accomplish (skydiving is last on said list, lol).
On the side, I make my own music just for fun, not for profit. I also DJ regularly and have fun playing the right music to get people to dance to.
I like all types of music, but my main preferences are Electronic and Metal. I tend to listen to Country and Classic Rock as well.
If you like to dance, we will surely get along! The world is my dancefloor, and I take advantage of every chance I get to dance.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 188.8.131.52
Forum Moderators: LifeinAsia
her problem is that she is being forced to work within the teacher's union and the politics of the job.
English was what she was made to teach.
we are better served simply letting her do what she is good at and letting me worry about the websites?

It is not easy for a family of two adults and four children to find hotel accommodation to fit them (at least without having to get adjoining rooms). The residence inn does almost everything brilliantly and has family rooms with two queens and a bunk. The staff are great, the facilities are great, the breakfast is great, they even do a complimentary light dinner with your accommodation. The rooms are large and have a complete kitchen and separate lounge/sitting area. There are three TVs in the suite. I even ended up using the sofa bed which was not very comfortable but fine. There are only two things I do not love and one comment. 1. It is not really close enough to Disneyland to walk. Not a problem for us but thought people should know. 2. Parking is $10 potter night. That is more than the place we stayed which is directly opposite Disney. Now the comment, the bunks were in one room, the two queens in the other. This means zero chance of mum and dad having any alone time unless they want to use the bunks. Not going to happen. Oh, and the bunks room has no natural light - also not ideal. Otherwise, a really excellent hotel for families.

text: iPhone 5C Brand Marketing Social-Averse Apple Debuts Tumblr Campaign Apple is known for eschewing popular social media platforms such as Facebook and Twitter. Creativity Apple Won't Let App Marketers Feature Its Gold and Colorful iPhones Given the slick and supple advertising Apple has cranked out for its new iPhone models, specifically the gold 5S and brightly colored 5C, you'd assume the tech giant is proud of its new palette. So why aren't iPhone app developers allowed to show off these vibrant new looks?In its newly updated App Store Marketing Guidelines, Apple lays out the following rule for which types of iPhones and iPads can be featured by developers marketing an iOS app: Feature only the most current Apple products in the following finishes or colors: iPhone 5s in silver or space gray, iPhone 5c in white or blue, iPad Air in silver or space gray, and iPad mini in silver or space gray.Curiously omitted, as noted by MacRumors, are the gold iPhone 5S and the 5C versions in green, yellow and pink. None of these color schemes will be allowed in any marketing, since these rules apply whether you're using Apple's official product images or shooting custom photography and video to promote an app.Honestly, app marketers are still just happy that Apple finally allowed them last month to feature the white iPhone, though it's clear from the new limitations that Apple isn't quite ready to open the floodgates of color—except when Apple itself is doing the flooding.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Houston's west side has long deserved a noteworthy sushi spot, and now it finally has one. Diners should angle for seats at the sushi bar for a bird's-eye view of chef Adison Lee and his staff diligently forming perfectly textured sushi rice into neat blocks and topping them with some of the best fish and meats to be found in the city. Lee trained under world-acclaimed master Nobu Matsuhisa and that experience has now been honed to a sharp focus. Searing of foie gras is perfectly timed to melt into the rice and on the tongue. Fish is sliced to capitalize perfectly on the most tender layers, even a bit on the surface to ensure it wraps around the rice just so. Often, a tiny amount of ginger, yuzu or other accoutrement is applied to best showcase the fish's flavor. Go now, before Houston's other sushi aficionados find out what Lee is doing over there and make it hard to get a reservation.
READERS' CHOICE: Uchi
Classic comfort foods get a refresh at this hot Washington Ave bistro-market hybrid. The energized, urban vibe of the exposed brick and art-filled space makes its way into the menu through things like duck fat camper's hash, buttermilk beignets and fried chicken, and "3 Pig" truffled mac and cheese — that cheesy and gooey skillet loaded with smoked bacon, pancetta and honey-glazed ham just may be the epitome of comfort. But if you're still on edge, Urban Eats's laundry list of poutine-style frites and craveworthy signature sliders (featuring everything from the pot roast- and gravy-loaded Sunday Dinner slider to a Fried Green Tomato BLT) should help.
READERS' CHOICE: the breakfast klub
Life is too short to drink bad Bloody Marys. And if you're going to get your morning boost through tomato juice and vodka, you may as well tack on a crispy and tender fried chicken wing and beer backer, right? The peppery Big Ol' Bloody Mary at this packed-for-good-reason Heights haunt will give you just that. It'll also give you a perfectly tart, seriously spicy house mix and a foolproof cure for your hangover.
READERS' CHOICE: Liberty Kitchen & Oysterette
Though the cash-only spot has been around awhile — in various forms since 1941, to be exact — this isn't some tired cafeteria. The unassuming eatery brings in fresh farmers' market produce daily and has an inhouse butcher. It isn't your school cafeteria, either. Here, "hot lunch" means you're getting scratch-made chicken and dumplings with a side of beautifully charred Brussels sprouts, flaky poached salmon with tomato and feta salad, and bigger-than-your-head chicken-fried steak with gooey mac and cheese. Just save room for the daily baked bread pudding and lemon chess pies. Oh, and don't forget that cash.
This messy burger-slinging truck already had good grades on its report card, but when it turned brick-and-mortar last year, the king of beef earned honor roll status. And with air conditioning, plenty of seating and an expanded menu featuring things like salad, poutine fries and boozy milkshakes, it's the kind of place the entire family can get down with. Recess grilled cheese sandwiches and mini burgers are perfect for the little ones, while those with growing appetites can smash stacked burgers made with daily-ground Black Angus beef, addicting inhouse condiments, and buttery, scratch-made buns. Trust us — this is one time your family won't mind taking the school bus.
This greasy spoon next to Canino's Produce may be old school (you may get called "honey" or "darlin'"), but that just makes it taste all the better. The family-owned and operated diner has been keeping Houstonians happy and full since 1942. With new, self-proclaimed "comfort food" concepts popping up all over the city, it's reassuring to know that you can stop by old faithful to fill up on grade A diner classics. Head here for the huge and cheap breakfast plates, blue plate specials and a cream-gravy-smothered CFS just like your mawmaw made.

Saturday Seminar with Dr. Bill Creasy, "A Portrait of the Holy Spirit"
Logos Bible Study
Saturday, July 21, 2012 at 9:30 AM (PDT)
Event Details
Today Dr. Creasy will investigate that most mysterious person of the Trinity, the Holy Spirit. Over the course of our classes together we have learned a lot about God the Father and even more about God the Son. But God the Holy Spirit is the most abstract person of the Trinity, represented as tongues of fire or as a dove.
In this seminar Dr. Creasy will bring the Holy Spirit to life as a distinct character in Scripture, a character deeply involved in both the Old and New Testaments, and a character deeply involved in the Church and in the life of individual believers.

RP -- Of course! When somebody gives you the chance and the opportunity to play here in the big leagues as a rookie - especially being a catcher you have to appreciate that. It makes me think I'm actually doing a good job for my first year. Last year, in the minors, I was batting .340, but I faded. For me to stay strong this season has been great.
GVB -- Are you surprised at how well things have gone at the plate for you?
RP -- In the beginning I can't lie about it - I was a little surprised and then I know pretty much everybody on my pitching staff and we played together in the minor leagues and that made me feel more confident. I played hard and I know that I can be consistent.
GVB -- Your approach at the plate has served you well.
RP -- That's been my approach since I started and every hitting coach I've had tells me it's a very good approach. I'm in the big leagues and it's working. I wait for the pitch I want to hit, and I try to hit it the opposite way. People don't expect me to be so patient or to try and go the opposite way, so that's what I do. When they start expecting me to do that, I'll do the opposite.
GVB -- Pirates' brass feel you will improve your power numbers - is that a possibility?
RP -- I hope it comes, but you know in the position that I was hitting the whole year - in the eight hole you see a lot of breaking balls and I was just thinking get a hit and do my best. I never hit a home run thinking that I'm going to hit one. When you try to hit a home run you are a totally different hitter.
GVB -- With all the young guys on the team and the way the team has played in the second half do you see light at the end of the tunnel for this team?
RP -- You know as a team we are younger and you can see in the second half that the team came together. That's the way it's going to be from now on. I'm very proud of what we've done. As a rookie, I came in here with a young staff, and there's a lot we had to do to become better. And I'll tell you: These guys are going to get even better next year. Way better.
GVB -- What are the things you want to improve as you look ahead to next year?
RP -- As a catcher it's always the defense. I want to be the best defensive catcher in this league. That's my goal to work on it.

Open Box (Mint) Cordoba 55FCE Acoustic-Electric Nylon String Flamenco Guitar

Flamenco Guitars

45 day price guarantee, 45 day return policy, 100% secure shopping
The Gypsy Kings go-to thinbody.
The 55FCE is the chosen guitar of the Gipsy Kings for its thinbody cutaway design, and slightly narrower nut width. The ultimate crossover nylon-string guitar, the 55FCE's solid European spruce top is paired with stunning flamed maple back and sides. With its Fishman Prefix ProBlend onboard electronics with 3-band EQ and built-in microphone, the 55FCE is stage-ready, and its thinbody design helps reduce feedback when the guitar is amplified at high volumes. With low action and little relief in the neck, this guitar offers substantial comfort and ease of playability.
The 55FCE's thinbody design and beautiful wood combination make it the perfect choice for exploring the nuances in sound that can only be captured with nylon strings – and bringing them to the stage. Like every Cordoba guitar, this model also has a two-way truss rod built into the neck. Other premium features include a Spanish cedar neck, ebony fingerboard, Indian rosewood binding and bridge, a clear flamenco-style tap plate, and Savarez Cristal Corum strings.

21st Century Oil partners with Westec for remote management and security.
SOLANA BEACH, Calif. -- 21st Century Oil has tabbed Irvine, calif.-based Westec InterActive to provide remote management and security solutions for its convenience stores throughout Southern California.
The systems allows the company to remotely manage the 16 units via closed-circuit TV (CCTV) cameras and a 2-way audio system that allows Westec's Visual Communication Center to be in visual and audio contact with the 21st Century Oil locations.
The stores, all branded ARCO, Chevron or Union 76, each have up to 16 security cameras, which provide security coverage both inside the convenience stores and outside at the gas pumps.
"With the Westec system, our employees are able to push a button and immediately have someone there with them," said Tim Finnerty, vice president of operations for 21st Century Oil. "Since the first system was installed in San Diego, we've seen a significant decrease in incidents, and our employees feel safer."
21st Century Oil has also been able to catch and prosecute individuals who have vandalized the facilities, including damaging gas pumps, by capturing video of the crime along with the perpetrators' license plate numbers. Having cameras outside has also helped reduce gas drive-offs.
"Westec's remote access software allows us to resolve problems and ensure that all is running smoothly, without having to physically drive out to each location," Finnerty added.

The Rev. Charlotte D'Autrechy-Scott and the Rev. Norwood Kreuzinger of New Castle, Ind., the bridegroom's uncle, performed the ceremony at the Lakeside Manor in Gibbsboro. The bride was given in marriage by her father. A reception followed the ceremony.
Jennifer Hansbury of Runnemede was maid of honor. Bridesmaids were Kim Crowell of San Clemente, Calif., the bride's sister-in-law, and Susan Aumack of Alburtis, Pa., sister of the bridegroom.
William Aumack, of Alburtis, Pa., was best man for his brother-in-law. Ushers were Mike Crowell of San Clemente, brother of the bride, and Chris Smith of Runnemede.
The bride graduated from Haddon Township High School, Haddon Township. She received a bachelor of science degree in management from the College of New Jersey, Ewing Township, and is a staff accountant for the Arizona Diamondbacks baseball team in Phoenix.

Air power can deliver much, but it cannot deliver everything. This is as true of drones as it is of B-52s. The drones make more political sense at home than military sense abroad. Whatever the accuracy of the missiles, targets must still be identified before they are destroyed, requiring good local information. Where the local state is weak or nonexistent, as in Yemen, Somalia, Libya or Waziristan in north-west Pakistan, this is easy to do because the CIA can have its own network of agents or co-operate with local intelligence agencies.

It's time for #Sixtybooks in 2017! In 2016, we had over 300 people sign up for the challenge and we are hoping to beat that number this year by spreading the word and getting even more people to make reading a part of their daily lives. For those who are new to our fantastic group of readers, the goal is simply to make reading a regular part of our daily lives and encourage other people to do the same. It's not a competition (the only person you are competing with is yourself!) and it's not just about the number.
For this year's challenge, we will be keeping #Sixtybooks on Twitter and Facebook. We will also be using #Sixtybooks on Instagram for those who want to share their reading in pictures. Our goal is to be active on all three by sharing more about our progress and the books we are reading. We are planning some new activities as well:
- Week long "#Sixtybooks sprints" that we dedicate to catching up on our reading a few times per year
- At least two or three live Twitter chats
- A book giveaway raffle just before summer
As always, you can keep track of your books however you like. Both Melissa and I use Goodreads to keep track and I also use Google maps to pin my books by setting which is a lot of fun.
Signup is the same. Fill in the #Sixtybooks in 2017 form by clicking here.
We are looking forward to another great year of reading!
