This is truly a fantastic ski-in, ski-out resort property at the base of Peak 8 in Breckenridge. My family of four shared a 2 bedroom condo overlooking the mountain. The property had most everything you'd expect in a 5-star condo resort. The restaurant and bar are great. The staff is beyond helpful, we actually found ourselves becoming friends with several of them. There are ski valets who bring your skis to the edge of the snow in the morning and take your skis from you at the end of the day. The property is well appointed in wood & stone. They provide a convenient shuttle service to bring guests to / from town. When you want to hang-out after a long day of skiing, there is plenty to do including a billiard room, a two-lane bowling alley (reservations needed, but not difficult to get), two glassed-in (indoor) swimming pools plus and indoor and an outdoor Jacuzzi. There is a nice gym with steam room, sauna & shower facilities.
I understand if you book thru VRBO, you can negotiate good deals directly through the owners. If you do, please know that you may not get maid service and the front desk will not make keys for you unless your truly stuck...
The dislikes were few: The gas fireplace in the room had a pre-regulated -low flame which was almost not even visible and because there is no chimney, it created a lot of heat in the unit so we had to open the door whenever using it. The a/c didn't keep the temperature correctly. We were hot at night unless the windows were cracked open. Personally, I'd prefer if there was live music après-ski for a more lively environment at the bar.
Simply put, the place is really great...

I stumbled upon several videos this morning related to John Updike, and that set me off thinking again about one of my favorite authors.
I always admired his three pages per day writer's requirement. He really worked at his writing. It paid off. He had a 50+ year career and has 67 books listed on his Wikipedia bibliography that includes 21 novels, 18 short-story collections, 12 books of poetry, 4 children's books, and 12 collections of non-fiction. Many of my favorite pieces of his fiction are found among his 186 short stories.
I wasn't reading Updike in 1960. That was the year he was 28 (I was 7) and published his second novel, Rabbit, Run. The New York Times called the book a "shabby domestic tragedy," but also "a notable triumph of intelligence and compassion." I would read it during the summer 0f 1968 after I had read a book of his stories, Pigeon Feathers, and then his first novel, The Poorhouse Fair.
The stories especially appealed to me, since I saw myself as a budding short story writer and was reading Hemingway, Salinger, Faulkner, Fitzgerald and other story writers too. I would go on to read almost all the stories and novels in chronological order of their publication. I wanted to write little, perfect stories like "A&P" about a boy working at the checkout counter in a supermarket and the three young pretty girls who walk in wearing nothing but bathing suits. That little plot unfolds quickly and tragically and, like many Salinger protagonists, I identified strongly with that kid.
My freshman year of college as an English major, I was assigned to read his newest novel, Rabbit Redux. a sequel to the first Rabbit book.
My wife shared many of my readings in our years together. I gave her my copy of the sexy Couples when we were dating, and we both read Marry Me when it came out and we were a few years from being married ourselves. Updike chronicles many marriages and many uncouplings, some based on his own life story.
Updike received two Pulitzer Prizes for two of the four Rabbit novels. There is also "Rabbit Remembered" a long story (or novella) that came later. Those tales chronicle Harry "Rabbit" Angstrom, an ex- high-school basketball star who first deserts his wife and son and then explores sexuality, marriage, parenting and also the time he is passing through in America.
This first video I found is a casual interview with Updike at the time of the fourth Rabbit novel, Rabbit at Rest, which ends Harry's life. It is a sad book about grandpa Harry with his Florida condo, still dealing with his son, Nelson and his wife, Janice, and the 1989 that is post-Reagan time of debt, AIDS, and President Bush 41. It won him another Pulitzer Prize.
What interested me in this video was his own thoughts about death.
This second video is John's son, David Updike, interviewed about being the child of a writer. David is also a writer I have enjoyed reading. I have his children's books and his books of stories and they are very good. It certainly must have been more negative than positive to be the son of John Updike and wanting to be a writer.
I like in this video David's decision that he would give up writing a piece of fiction if it meant hurting someone he cared about. I don't think his father held that belief.
John Updike received much praise in his lifetime for his writing. He also was pretty strongly disliked by some of his fellow writers and by feminists. He was, like too many famous men I admire, not a very good husband or father.
But I think even those who are not fans concede that is prose is beautiful, often poetic.
I came to John Updike's poetry much later than the books and stories. I love reading poetry, and I like some of his poems, but I feel like his prose had more poetry in it than many of the poems. I have used a few of his poems on my poetry blog
He died of lung cancer in January 2009.
I took this passage from Updike's wonderful story "Pigeon Feathers" and broke the sentences into more "poetic" line breaks using his punctuation most of the time. It is a small poem on what it means to be dead as seen by teenaged David as he walks at night across his farm home to the outhouse and imagines a grave.
A long hole in the ground,
no wider than your body,
down which you are drawn
while the white faces above recede.
You try to reach them but your arms are pinned.
Shovels pour dirt into your face.
There you will be forever,
in an upright position,
blind and silent,
and in time no one will remember you,
and you will never be called by any angel.
As strata of rock shift,
your fingers elongate,
and your teeth are distended sideways
in a great underground grimace
indistinguishable from a strip of chalk.
"All grown-ups were once children — although few of them remember it." – Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
This past week was the birthday of French writer and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry. He was born in Lyon, France in 1900. Saint-Exupéry was a renowned pilot, but is best known now for his classic "children's" novella, Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince) published in 1943.
Though it is usually labeled as children's literature, many adults cherish this little book too. I had not read the book until I was an adult. My wife as a teacher of French used the book in her classes.
I took out her copy of the book and paged through it with my cup of matcha tea this morning.
The Little Prince is about a little boy, a prince, who lives on a planet so small he can watch the sun set 44 times a day. He falls to Earth and befriends a stranded pilot.
Antoine de Saint-Exupéry grew up being fascinated by airplanes. He was conscripted at 21 into the French air force and qualified as military pilot a year later.
By 1926, he'd helped establish airmail routes over Northwest Africa, the South Atlantic, and South America, which made him a pioneer in postal aviation.
In 1935, while trying to win a competition by breaking the speed record in an air race from Paris to Saigon, he and his mechanic crashed in the Sahara desert.
They wandered for four days with little food or water. A Bedouin found them and administered a native remedy to rehydrate them. Saint-Exupéry used some of this experience when writing The Little Prince.
The Little Prince is considered a classic of literature. It is about loneliness, friendship, and philosophy.
In 1944, Saint-Exupéry flew a reconnaissance mission over France and never returned. It was assumed his plane had crashed in the Alps, but more than 60 years later, the wreckage was recovered from the Mediterranean seabed, not far from Provence.
When he was asked how he would like to die, Saint-Exupéry chose water. He said: "You don't feel yourself dying. You simply feel as if you're falling asleep and beginning to dream."
The Little Prince was published after his death and has been translated into over 250 languages and dialects, including Braille, and sells 2 million copies annually.
The artwork in the book is Saint-Exupéry's original watercolors. He wrote two other books about flying, the non-fiction Wind, Sand and Stars and a novel, Night Flight.
There is a live-action film and an animated film version of the story. There is a museum for the Little Prince in Japan.
But the book is the thing. As the sun was setting today – it only happens once a day on our home planet, which makes it more precious – I looked back into the book again and had another cup of tea.
"And now here is my secret, a very simple secret:
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye."
It's 1962 and America has lost WWII. The east is the Greater Nazi Reich and the west is the Japanese Pacific States.
In The Man in the High Castle, a novel by Philip K. Dick, this is the alternate history of the world. The United States and the Allied forces lost the war. This was the novel that established Philip K. Dick as an innovator in science fiction.
He was better known before that novel became a TV series for his fiction that was adapted for films, such as the two film Blade Runner films that are based on his novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? That novel, set in 2021, portrays a world where another World War has killed millions and moved much of mankind off-planet. Because so many species became extinct on Earth, people cherish living creatures, but the less expensive alternatives are very realistic "simulacra" of horses, birds, cats – and also humans. On Mars, these androids are common and so well made to be indistinguishable from true humans.
On Earth, there is fear about what these artificial humans might do and the government has banned them. Many of them go into hiding, some live among human beings, undetected. The novels's protagonist, Rick Deckard (played by Harrison Ford in the film adaptation), is one of the officially sanctioned bounty hunters who find rogue androids and "retire" them.
Dick's fiction approached and crossed the lines of popular science fiction, the serious novel of ideas, and the reality of his time and now our present and future.
The Man in the High Castle won the Hugo Award in 1963 and is one of my favorites of his novels, but Philip K. Dick (1928-1982) published 36 science fiction novels and 121 short stories, so there is plenty of his work to read – and to still be adapted.
Castle has a "novel within the novel" structure and so there is an alternate history within this alternate history. That internal novel is titled The Grasshopper Lies Heavy, written by the character Hawthorne Abendsen. (Minor Spoiler: Hawthorne is the man in the high castle) In this version the Allies defeat the Axis but not in the same ways or with the same results as the actual historical outcome. The Bible verse "The grasshopper shall be a burden" (Ecclesiastes 12:5) is supposed to be the title's inspiration.
In season two of the Amazon TV series version, they play off the novel and the films that the "Man in the High Castle" has released that show the alternative history where the United States defeated the Nazis and Japan. Of course, the Germans have tried to destroy all the copies of the film. In Dick's novel plotline, the Grasshopper book is banned in the occupied U.S., but widely read in the Pacific, and its publication is legal in the neutral countries.
The Grasshopper Lies Heavy tells of President Roosevelt surviving an assassination attempt but not trying for a third term. The next President, Rexford Tugwell, pulls the Pacific fleet out of Pearl Harbor, saving it from Japanese attack. When the U.S. enters WWII, it is a well-equipped naval power. In this version, Italy reneges on its membership in the Axis Powers and betrays them. At the end of the war, the Nazi leaders—including Adolf Hitler—are tried for their war crimes.
Philip K. Dick (PKD) said the main inspiration for writing The Man in the High Castle was the novel Bring the Jubilee, a 1953 novel by Ward Moore of an alternate nineteenth-century U.S. wherein the Confederate States of America won the American Civil War.
The Man in the High Castle became a television series in 2015 produced by Amazon Studios that is somewhat loosely based on the 1962 novel. There have been two seasons with a third forthcoming. If you are an Amazon Prime member, you can watch the series free. If not, some video from the series is available on YouTube that gives you a sense of how the series has progressed.
I know that the idea and images of the series turn off some people. My wife gave up on watching it with me. (She was creeped out right away by the version of "Edelweiss" used as the theme song.) In a 1976 interview with Philip Dick , he said he had planned to write a sequel to The Man in the High Castle, but couldn't make any real progress because he was too disturbed by his research for the two boks and he could not mentally bear "to go back and read about Nazis again."
He regarded the published novel as intentionally having an open ending that could segue into a sequel . He even suggested that perhaps the sequel might be a collaboration with another author:. Perhaps, the Amazon series would be to his liking.
The other books that he acknowledged inspired and disturbed him when writing the novel include The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich (1960), Hitler: A Study in Tyranny (1962), The Goebbels Diaries (1948), and Foxes of the Desert (1960). He also acknowledged the influence of the 1950 translation of the ancient classic I Ching by Richard Wilhelm. That text is not only read and used by characters in his novel, but was used in its divination way by Dick himself to make decisions about the plot of The Man in the High Castle.
Two chapters of the sequel were published in The Shifting Realities of Philip K. Dick. They touch on the Nazis using time-travel visits to a parallel world in which they lost the war, but stealing nuclear weapons from that world to bring back to their reality.
Dick said that his 1967 The Ganymede Takeover began as a sequel to The Man in the High Castle, but evolved into a new unrelated story. Some portions were used in VALIS, published in 1985, three years after Dick's death.
Philip K. Dick's later work turned toward deeply personal, metaphysical questions concerning the nature of God.
Eleven of his novels and short stories have been adapted to film, most notably Blade Runner, Total Recall, Minority Report, and A Scanner Darkly.
He was inducted into the Science Fiction Hall of Fame in 2005. His work has been translated into more than twenty-five languages.
I believe PKD would have at least been amused by this android version of him.
I was quite charmed last year when I made my first visit to Prague in the Czech Republic. I had in my mind a Romanticized version of the city and its famed café culture. In my imagination, it was people sipping coffee on sidewalk table and talking about art and literature. When my wife and I went for coffee and dessert at the Café Imperial, it was certainly much grander than anything I had imagined.
We did find those little cafés too, so I was able to embrace my Romantic version of the city. There is also the well-documented role of the coffeehouse in the Age of Enlightenment. These informal gatherings of people played an important role in innovation in politics, science, literature and religion.
Next year, I hope to visit the Café de Flore which is one of the oldest coffeehouses in Paris. Located at the corner of Boulevard Saint-Germain and Rue Saint-Benoît, it is known for its history of serving intellectual clientele. At one time, those tables overheard conversations from existentialist philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre, writer Albert Camus and artist Pablo Picasso.
In science, breakthroughs seem to rarely come from just one person working alone. Innovation and collaboration usually sit at the table together. We are currently in a time when, at least in American politics, collaboration seems nonexistent.
This notion is what caught my attention in an interview I heard with Steven Johnson who wrote Where Good Ideas Come From.
He writes about how "stacked platforms" of ideas that allow other people to build on them. This way of ideas coming together from pieces borrowed from another field or another person and remixing feels very much like what has arisen in our digital age.
One example he gives is the 1981 record My Life in the Bush of Ghosts by Brian Eno and David Byrne. It is an innovative album for that time in its use of samples well before the practice became mainstream. Eno was inspired by the varied voices and music and advertising on New York AM radio which was so different from the straightforward BBC radio he grew up with in England. He thought about repurposing all that talk into music.
We call that "decontextualizing" now – in this case a sound or words taken out of context and put in a new place. But this borrowing and remixing also occurs with ideas in culture, science and technology.
Unfortunately, ideas are not always free to connect with each other. Things like copyright and intellectual property law get in the way. We often silo innovators in proprietary labs or departments and discourage the exchange of ideas.
I didn't know that Ben Franklin had a Club of Honest Whigs that would meet at the London Coffeehouse, when he was in England and they would hang out and exchange ideas.
Johnson describes these as "liquid networks" – not so much for the coffee, but for the fluidity in the conversation. These informal networks work because they are made up of different kinds of people from different backgrounds and experiences. Diversity is not just necessary as a biological concept but as an intellectual one.
The Internet was built on ideas stacked on top of ideas. A whole lot of code and ideas are underneath this post. At its best, when I write online I am connecting, if only virtually, with other writers, artists and thinkers, and connecting literally through hyperlinks to those ideas.
I know there are "Internet cafés," but what about Internet as a café?
I only discovered in the past year a little genre of books that seem to be called bibliomemoirs. These are memoirs based on books read in a lifetime. They generally will talk about how a book was read at various points in time and how the reading reflects on the person at that time and shaped their life or character.
Some titles that were mentioned online include The Unexpected Professor by John Carey, How to Be a Heroine by Samantha Ellis, My Life in Middlemarch by Rebecca Mead, Books for Living by Will Schwalbe and Maureen Corrigan's in Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading. The better ones, for me, are not so much book lists but true memoirs where books offer a structure to the life stories. That kind of book follows the often given advice to writers to find the universal in the particular.
I just picked up a copy of a new one in the genre, My Life with Bob: Flawed Heroine Keeps Book of Books, Plot Ensues. The author, Pamela Paul, looks like a college student but she is the editor of the New York Times Book Review and has four other books to her name already. Like myself 25 years earlier, she started recording what she was reading while in high school. She started with a basic Excel spreadsheet but lost it at some point and switched to a paper "Book of Books" (the Bob of her title). This new book doesn't cover all the books she has read (thank goodness) but selects ones as chapter titles for parts of her life.
Bibliophiles will identify with this even if they don't record all their reading or reflect in writing on them. These days I tend to just list titles in a journal and write about selected ones online (as I'm doing here). I wish I had kept a memoir of books in a kind of journal along the way, but I'm not sure that my reading has always mirrored or reflected on my life at the time.
For Pamela Paul, Swimming to Cambodia is the book that heads the section about her living and traveling in Asia for two years after college. She uses The Wisdom of the Body for the chapter about an assignment to work on the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. It's a bit of a cheat on the idea that your life and reading run parallel. For example, she returns to the book A Wrinkle in Time as a chapter title in writing about reading with her three children and editing reviews of children's books.
She gives all of us some credit for being writers, even if we don't publish or publish in the traditional sense.
"Aren't we all writers these days? We live through text. With our status updates and our e-mails, many of us spend our days writing down more words than we speak aloud. Anyone can write a book or post a story and find readers. Even those whose book reviews live exclusively on Amazon or Goodreads or in diaries or in the text of e-mails are still active creators of the written word."
I enjoy looking back at my lists, but without commentary, the titles don't mean as much. Looking at the posts I have written here about books, I have a much better sense of how the book fit into my life at the time. Some of those posts have some of "me" (as in memoir) in them, but some do not.
I've written a number of times about Moby Dick, a book I return to pretty regularly, but I don't think I have really examined why I was reading or rereading the book at certain times in my life. That might an interesting experiment or post. Just this past week, I dipped into it again and the line that jumped out at me as relevant to this Trumpian time was "But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship's company down to doom with him?"
Another book I return to is Walden. When I say "return" I don't always mean "reread." I sometimes only reread sections, and with a good number of books I love, like Walden, Moby Dick, The Great Gatsby, A Confederacy of Dunces and others, I listen to them as audiobooks which is a very different experience (and one I now prefer). I first read Walden in high school and though it may have been for school work, I know it was at a time in my life when both the environment and the idea of getting away and writing were very much a part of my thinking.
I went through a Ray Bradbury period when I was in my early teens. I've written here about his Dandelion Wine as a book that certainly reminded me of earlier and more innocent summers. His novel Something Wicked This Way Comes is a novel about losing your youth and trying to hold onto it. It is a scary book I returned to when I shared it with my sons when they came to that point in their lives.
More recently, I came to the books by Marie Kondo on organizing and giving or throwing away the unneeded things in your life. Her books are mostly about real things, but her "Life-Changing Magic of Tidying Up" is something that appealed to me literally and figuratively. They appeared when I needed to clean out junk in the cellar and garage, get rid of stuff from previous jobs and also get rid of a lot of the mental junk I have been hoarding for years.
My "book of books" would contain, like Pamela Paul's Bob, lots of titles that really don't connect to my life at the time when I read them. I can't see any connection to my life at the time recently when I read The Goldfinch. I just read George Saunders' highly praised novel Lincoln in the Bardo and I can't draw any parallels to my life – and I'm glad about that.
I just finished the novel 4 3 2 1 and that very long story has many connections to my life – not my current life though, but my past. I am still sorting this one out and will write about it here some day.
Of course, like many bloggers, I have imagined that it would be great to take all my blogging and turn it into a book, but unlike Ms. Paul, I haven't gotten to that stage yet.
This earlier post is now updated to reflect the recent release of a film, The Lost City of Z, based on Grann's book of the same name. Both tell the true story of British explorer Percy Fawcett who went into the Amazon in 1925 with his son looking for an ancient lost city. They both disappeared. For decades, explorers and scientists have tried to find evidence of his party and the Lost City of Z. Since then, perhaps another hundred people have died or disappeared searching for Fawcett.
I read David Grann's The Lost City of Z in 2010 and halfway through it I realized what attracted me to it. It takes me back to a book of my youth – The Lost World by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle – which was a novel I loved as a kid. I probably read the Classics Illustrated Comic version before I actually read the book, as that was the case with many books from Treasure Island to Hamlet.
Sir Arthur Conan Doyle is much better known as the creator of Sherlock Holmes. Even if you have never read any of his fiction, you probably know a few of his stories and characters because, according to the Internet Movie Database (love that site) there are at least 215 films based on his writing.
I took out my old comic book version and also my paperback of the novel and rediscovered Doyle's little introductory verse:
I have wrought my simple plan
If I give one hour of joy
To the boy who's half a man,
Or the man who's half a boy.
There was another book titled The Lost World which was Michael Crichton's sequel to Jurassic Park, but I have nothing to say about that book. To me, The Lost World is the one published in 1912 and it is the fictional story of an expedition to a place in the Amazon where prehistoric animals still survive. (Hmmm, did Mr. Crichton get inspiration for Jurassic Park from it?) The book introduced the character Professor Challenger who appears in other books by Doyle.
Exploration and lost worlds captured the fancy of the public and authors in the early part of the 20th century. In 1916, Edgar Rice Burroughs (who is better known for his Tarzan and science-fiction stories) published The Land that Time Forgot, which was his version of a lost world story. In that rather ridiculous tale, sailors from a German U-Boat discover a world of dinosaurs and ape-men in Antarctica.
I read all of them. I didn't really pay attention back then to the chronology of publication. If I had noted dates, I would have realized that another one of my childhood author heroes, Jules Verne, had introduced the whole prehistoric-animals-in-the-present-day adventure story with his novel Journey to the Center of the Earth which was published back in 1864. Those explorers find a prehistoric world of people and dinosaurs inside the Earth.
By the way, you can read The Lost World as an "e-book" free online at Project Gutenberg – if you can handle reading on a screen. I can't.
Now, to get back to where this post started, the setting for The Lost World is was probably inspired by reports about British explorer Percy Harrison Fawcett's expedition to Venezuela and Brazil, in a mountain region called Mount Roraima.
The modern-day non-fiction book, The Lost City of Z , tells the tale of Fawcett who launched his final expedition in 1925 into the Amazon.
His goal was to find the fabled lost city of El Dorado, the "City of Gold." El Dorado has captured the imaginations of kids, armchair explorers and real anthropologists, adventurers, and scientists for about 400 years – even though there really has never been evidence that it ever existed. That hasn't stopped hundreds of expeditions from going out looking for it.
Fawcett was financed by the Royal Geographical Society in London. It humbles me to think that at age 57 he headed out again because he really believed in El Dorado, which he called the City of Z .
He set out with only his 21-year-old son Jack and one of Jack's friends. He wanted to travel light and fast, eat off the land, and not harass the natives. They vanished in the Mato Grosso region of Brazil. Subsequent attempts to find Fawcett and the city have failed.
What happened to Fawcett? David Grann thinks he knows. The author is not an adventurer, but he ended up in the jungles of the Amazon to try to find an answer.
Fawcett's expeditions inspired Arthur Conan Doyle's novel of a lost world. Grann wrote an earlier book, The Devil and Sherlock Holmes: Tales of Murder, Madness, and Obsession.
I'm not ready for any Amazon adventures, so I'm happy to follow Grann's digging through Fawcett's old diaries and logs for clues and doing my own armchair adventuring.
I liked that the book also deals with how in the past 40 years in Brazil alone, the Amazon has lost some two hundred and seventy thousand square miles of its original forest cover. That's an area bigger than France. Tribes are being threatened with extinction. Many animals and plants, some we never even knew existed, are also vanishing.
Much has been lost in those jungles.

]At Columbia, Franklin lived an entirely different musical life than she would at Atlantic, one that was grounded in jazz and the Great American Songbook, revealing a gigantic vocal talent that betrayed potent hints of the tectonic soul shift to come at Atlantic. It takes precious little imagination to conclude that Franklin was as important to American music in the middle-to-late 1960s as singer/pianist Ray Charles was the decade before, the two star ascents crossing in creative eclipse.
"The Tender, the Moving, the Swinging Aretha Franklin" is the fourth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, Released on August 13, 1962 by Columbia Records. It was her first album to achieve any commercial success, reaching #69 on the Billboard pop album charts.
"Laughing on the Outside" is the fifth studio album by American singer Aretha Franklin, Released on August 12, 1963 by Columbia Records. The album was recorded at Columbia Recording Studios in New York and Hollywood. These sessions found a 21-year-old Aretha Franklin recording Jazz Music and Pop Music standards, from Johnny Mercer to Duke Ellington. She is backed by the arrangements of Columbia producer Robert Mersey.
Aretha Franklin is one of the giants of soul music, and indeed of American pop as a whole. More than any other performer, she epitomized soul at its most gospel-charged. The Queen in Waiting is Aretha Franklin's 2002 compilation album featuring popular tracks "God Bless the Child", "Skylark", "Only the Lonely" and "Try a Little Tenderness". The album includes Aretha's last Columbia recordings produced by Bob Johnston, noted for his work during this period with Bob Dylan; and songs that Columbia "sweetened" with new musicians after Aretha left the label.
"Aretha: With The Ray Bryant Combo" is the second studio album by American singer songwriter, Aretha Franklin, released on February 27, 1961 by Columbia Records. The album is Aretha's first release for Columbia, and is also known under its working title Right Now It's Aretha and sometimes simply as Aretha. Following in the footsteps of her close friend Sam Cooke, Aretha was "discovered" by famed Columbia Records producer John H. Hammond, who on the cover notes of the 1973 edition of "The Great Aretha Franklin: The First 12 Sides" mentions, that she was in fact recommended by the composer Curtis Reginald Lewis.

The promise of better.
Presenting a product as a solution to people's problems is a frequent technique in ads and marketing campaigns.
Aspirational promises can have both a direct and a subconscious effect. Something as simple as pairing your product with happy and attractive models can sell the image as a part of the product. Making a person think, if I buy [that] then I will be happy and healthy as well.
The technique taps into the hierarchy of needs, as set out by Maslow in 1943. The five-stage model is divided into basic needs (e.g. physiological, safety, love, and esteem) and growth needs (self-actualization). Aspirational promises in advertising can present a product that fulfils a person's basic needs as solving a growth need. Evian's tagline 'live long' is a great example of this. Water fulfils a basic need, but the promise it gives health and longevity fulfils a growth need of an individual.
Evian's 'live long' campaign is an example of aspirational promise.

Cell Phones/Insurance
My assumption of paying insurance on my phone was that my phone would be protected against, theft, accidental spills and damage or crack screens. I was never told if anything happen to my phone; a deduction had to be paid in order to receive a new phone
I have been with one carrier over five years paying $7.99 a month for insurance, in five years nothing happen to my phone, what happen to my insurance money? In 2013 I upgraded my phone, after three day it was stolen. I assumed that all i had to do was to report the phone stolen and get another one because it was insured.
My problem started when customer service told me I had to pay $150.00 deduction, I really couldn't understand why because My insurance was paid. Did you read your contract I was asked? The contract was long and lengthy and should been read by me but wasn't.
One of the problems is why should anyone pay a deduction on a phone that is insurance, If they are told that our Phones are protected against theft, damage crack screens and accidental spills. Why do we pay a deduction.
What happen to all the insurance money that is paid to protect our phones, if we have to pay a deduction.

Orange County Prosecutor's Cheating Gains California State Bar Attention
DA Tony Rackauckas: Uh, uh, uh, uh, my prosecutors are assigned, uh, to win at all cost.
OC Weekly
Believing she cheated to win a criminal case, the California State Bar is pursuing disciplinary charges against an Orange County prosecutor, who won her government job after her wealthy businessman father contributed money to county law enforcement officials.
Prosecutor Sandra Lee Nassar hid key exculpatory evidence in State of California v. Iacullo "in order to secure strategic trial advantage" for the government, according to the Bar.
Nassar "knew or was grossly negligent in not knowing the production of this evidence was required and thereby committed an act involving moral turpitude, dishonesty and corruption in violation of [California law]," Hugh G. Radigan, a state bar lawyer, memorialized in March.
Bar officials believe the prosecutor abused basic ethical obligations to win a conviction and a 12-year sentence in the child abuse allegation case.
Superior Court Judge Thomas M. Goethals, who presided in the case, agreed.
As the Weekly reported in 2014, the judge said, "The excuse that she gave for not giving up this obviously exculpatory evidence material was not reasonable excuse. It wasn't even close to a reasonable excuse . . . I don't know if Miss Nassar doesn't know what the law is. That's no excuse. Ignorance of the law for an experienced prosecutor for engaging in misconduct is not a reasonable excuse either. That was a willful violation."
Rackauckas and his office are currently under U.S. Department of Justice investigation for what has become known nationally as the Orange County jailhouse informant scandal.
Prosecutors and sheriff's deputies conspired systemically for decades to violate the constitutional rights of in-custody, pre-trial defendants by tricking them into making incriminating statements without their lawyers' knowledge.
So far, 15 murder and attempted murder convictions have been overturned based on cheating by Orange County law enforcement agencies.
Nassar has denied she is guilty.

Last year, Rackauckas named her defense lawyer, Blithe C. Leece, as one of his supposedly "independent" inspectors of entrenched seediness within his agency.
(See: Tony Rackauckas' Hand-Picked Committee to Evaluate OC's Snitch Scandal Says He's Clueless, January 6, 2016.)
In 2008, Nassar's father, Gabriel Nassar, testified at the federal corruption trial of Sheriff Mike Carona that he sold official department badges in exchange for contributions to the lawman.
Rackauckas, whose management of the DA's office has been marred by continuous scandals, declared Carona innocent before a federal jury found him guilty of ethical violations.
At the time, the DA and Carona shared the same senior campaign consultant.
U.S. District Court Judge Andrew J. Guilford sent the open-marriage-but-Bible-thumping Carona, a man Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger partied with and considered a potential lieutenant governor, to prison for 66 months in 2009.
With the upcoming 2018 election, Rackauckas, who has controlled the DA's office for 18 years and suspiciously disbanded the agency's organized crime unit focused on the Italian mafia as a first step after his victory, claims he is determined to keep his powerful position until he is at least 79 years old.

Woody Creek TavernMap
2858 Upper River Rd., Woody Creek, CO 81656, United States
Hunter S. Thompson's old haunt lives on in this rustic tavern covered in old news clipping and memorabilia, mostly about the gonzo journalist himself. Local diehards and tourists pour in for "dogs" (Flying Dog microbrews) and "Fresh" (fresh-squeezed lime-juice margaritas made with blue-agave tequila). While alcohol is the star here (just as Hunter liked it), the menu's not half bad, with hulking, low-fat limousine beef burgers, excellent pork ribs, and organic salads.
Tip: Bring cash; credit cards are a no-go.

New Delhi: With steel prices increasing by more than 30% in 2008, the industry announced capacity expansion plans of 31 million tonne in the last quarter of 2007-08, in order to meet growing demand, according to a study carried out by Assocham.
The sector has attracted Rs1,22,950 crore of capex announcements in Q3 of fiscal 2008. There is a commitment to spend Rs2,12,190 crore in capacity expansion over October 2007-March 2008. About 90% of total investments will be to build new steel plants and remainder10% to expand plant capacity and build steel processing units.
Key Findings
* Steel industry has lined up investments of Rs89,240 crore in the coming three months
* While steel production grew at only 5.2% in 2007-08, consumption grew at 11.72%
* Total production of finished steel in the country was about 55.26 million tonne in 2007-08, as against consumption of almost 51.80 million tonne; more than expected growth in demand coupled with rising raw material prices has been pushing steel prices up
* Findings of the study suggest that capacity augmentation plans announced by India Inc during Jan-Mar 2008 alone may increase production capacity to about 85 million tonne
* Iron ore and coal rich Orissa attracted almost half the total capex announcements made in the steel sector with planned investments of about Rs45,000 crore
* Prominent destinations chosen by steel companies to build steel plants are Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Jharkhand; amount of capital expenditure is roughly Rs16,000 crore, Rs11,900 crore and Rs7,000 crore respectively
* With economy expected to expand at 7-8% in the next few years, demand of steel is likely to increase correspondingly
* Corporate India plans to install nearly 18.5 million tonne of steel plants in Orissa; Chhattisgarh, West Bengal and Jharkhand are expected to host 5 million tonne, 3.7 million tonne and 3 million tonne steel plants respectively
* Bhushan steel has earmarked Rs26,000 crore for building 12 million tonne capacity in West Bengal, Jharkhand and Orissa
* Vedanta Resources plans to spend Rs24,000 crore to enter the steel sector and will be located in Orissa with a capacity of 5 million tonne
*Tata Steel will build a 5 million tonne plant in Chhattisgarh with an outlay of around Rs16,000 crore; Mesco Steel will deploy Rs10,000 crore for expansion of two of its steel plants situated in Orissa

This holiday I am feeling really blessed to have this monster house. I haven't felt that way for the greater part of 4-5 years now, escalating over the last year. I see a house that is way too big for one person, peeling paint, an older roof and antique windows. I see an overwhelming financial burden with a work load and commitment too big for one person to handle. Most of all I feel trapped by the housing crisis, unable to unload and move on. The American Dream of home ownership has become my American Nightmare. Sure, I could shirk my responsibilities and walk away, many have been forced to, and have, but that doesn't align with accountability, integrity, and right living for me, not yet. If I expect to draw that kind of positive energy into my life, I have to be that too; honorable, responsible, honest. Trapped between the angel on my right shoulder which says in a soft, sweet voice, "Don't give up hope. Keep trying." And, the devil on my left, whose tone is gruff and flippant and screams, "The hell with it, those same financial institutions holding mortgages created much of this mess we are in to begin with. Just walk away." It's harder to hear the softer voice sometimes and would be easier to pay heed to the self-serving demanding one. Especially when one is really, really worn out. Right now, I am.
However, my grandchildren don't see any of that. My middle granddaughter, Sydney, told one of my co-workers last week, that I live in a mansion! My immediate response, "A dilapidated old mansion!" Sydney looked at me puzzled. Later that evening, the three of them arrived to spend the night. They looked around in awe at the Christmas lights and decorations inside my Albatross. I'm borrowing their rose colored glasses! They saw a palace - a thing of beauty. They saw how lovely the backyard looks from my kitchen bay window, all snow covered, the trees frosted white. They saw the mystical beauty of the den, fireplace roaring, stockings hung by the chimney with care, soft Christmas lights twinkling, making the room a magical spot. They did not see peeling paint, dated flooring, or old windows. I see a house. They see a home full of love, laughter, comfort, and a dash of Christmas magic. They saw. Then, I saw. Many joyous times, have been lived in this house. My fire was lit. I can apply a coat of paint, fill the house with people and make some more memories for the time I am here.
Recently, I found myself stuck again professionally, second-guessing my efforts over the last few years as well as what I intuitively know is my gift. I've been thinking from my ego rather than letting my inner guide direct me. My work has felt false; contrived, rather than coming from the place my best words arise from. I've also learned, when I look to things of this world to fuel me; verification and approval from others, outside opinions, and monetary reinforcement to validate God's plan, I am then moving out of faith into fear. I could see that, but it was almost from a different plane, like the ghost of me was trying to tap the human in me on the shoulder and say stop! I could see it. I didn't know how to stop it. A few days ago, a brightly decorated Christmas envelope arrived and inside was a book. It's title , theWarofArt - Break Through the Blocks and Win Your Inner Creative Battles. The inscription on the inside read:
I've read this many times over. I feel I have finally "conquered" what the words taught me and I felt a deep need for you to keep it safe for me. In case I forget and need it again someday--- throw it back my way. Much Love, Meg
Just in case you are thinking, well, it's Christmas, why wouldn't holiday gifts arrive, you need to know that this book uncannily identifies my recent mood, names my fears, and provides a suggested plan for moving out of that place. Moreover, the gift was passed on by a beautiful, young, 20 something artist from Chicago, who I watched grow up. A wise beyond her years young woman, I haven't seen, nor talked to her in quite a long time. As I drank in the messages of the book, the wisdom of those who have walked the same path, was kindling to my desire to continue down my path, no matter what obstacles appear to distract and block me.
The Universe works together, with, and through others, to draw forth our purpose, and fan that ember of creativity, appreciation, and perseverance when we've lost sight of what's important. What beautiful gifts we receive from the eyes and words of other people. A new way of looking at things, inspiration, good wishes, and lots of love, even from those who are not with us anymore.
The other night before bed I was lounging in the big chair in my den, walking down happy Christmas memory lane, sitting for a little visit with so many of my loved ones who aren't on this earth anymore. Sifting through my treasure chest of remembrance, I discovered a stash of candles left behind by all them, made just for me, to help light my way. I can pull them out and hold them up anytime I choose. One of them had imprinted on them, "You can do anything you set your mind to do," a gift from a dear grandmother-in-law. Another read, simply," I believe in you." And, another, "Just do your best, but do it." Another read, "Follow your heart. You are worthy of so much more than you know." That one was a gift from my mother just a year before she died. I know this was all triggered by the dream I had the night before. In the dream was a former boss who had passed away, much too young. This gentleman had a profound influence on my life both professionally, and became a good family friend outside of the workplace. He was an example of integrity, Christian faith, and leadership to both me and my young daughter. He has been gone for over 20 years. In the dream he looked wonderful; younger, happy, like himself only with an indescribable glow. I was so excited to see him and asked why he was visiting. He said to me, "I heard you needed some light." His candle read, "Trust your intuition and let that be your guide."
We are all God's agents assigned the task of fanning the spark that exists in each of us. We are here to help each other to find our way, see the beauty and discern our worth in the world we live in. We are here to do for others sometimes, what they cannot do for themselves.
Thank you Sydney, Cameron and Alex. Thank you my living angel, Meg, and all those others who surround me, guiding and watching over me from afar. I am beginning to trust that I always get what I need when I need it, if I simply live from the heart rather than the head. I continue to be humbled and amazed at the immense power and timelessness of Universal love which gently asks of us that we return the favor someday and be another human being's firemaker.

Faith Lutheran Academy - 2nd Grade
Bible Study: The Christian
faith is integrated into all aspects of the curriculum. Through the
study of Bible stories in the Old and New Testament, students learn how
God touched the lives of people long ago and how He is a vital part of
our lives today. Memory Work is given to students to strengthen their
relationship with God and His Word. Once a week the second-grade
children come together with other children in the school for a weekly
Chapel Service. Students also present two chapel messages each year.
Literacy/Language Arts: The Reading Curriculum
connects whole class, small group, and independent instruction through
common comprehension strategies of a variety of texts and themes.
Instruction focuses on listening, speaking, reading, and writing within
content-specific themes, which simultaneously builds reading and
content-area competence among students. The curriculum strives to help
instill a passion and enthusiasm for reading. Writing
instruction occurs across the curriculum and focuses on the writing
process and the writing traits. Writing experiences include
descriptions, personal narrative, paragraphing, how-to essays, letter
writing, persuasive writing, informational and expository writing.
Spelling in the second grade develops the student's capacity to
pronounce, spell, use, look up in the dictionary, understand the
definitions of words, and become familiar with spelling rules that can
be applied now and in future spelling. An introduction to cursive
letters and words begins in the second half of the school year.
Math: Students participate in a wide variety of
mathematics activities that encourage higher-level thinking and
problem-solving skills. Students will learn addition and subtraction (1,
2, and 3 digits), the meaning of place values (100 and 1000),
strategies and word problems, various ways to collect and share data and
information, geometry, concepts of time and money, fractions and
probability, measurement, and multiplication and division.
Science: The Science Curriculum focuses on hands-on
experiments and demonstrations as students learn about the water cycle,
air and weather, fossils and dinosaurs, rocks, and the human body.
Emphasis is on developing the ability to ask questions, to observe, to
experiment, to measure, to problem solve/reason, to use tools of
science, to gather data, and to communicate findings.
Social Studies: The Social Studies Curriculum
focuses on how a community works, including the people and places that
make up a community. Students learn how communities have changed from
the past to the present, especially communities that make up the United
States. The Economics Unit introduces children to the concepts of needs
and wants, resources, and work. The Government Unit teaches children
about local and national leaders and about the rights and
responsibilities of citizens. Geography is also part of the Social
Studies Curriculum; students continue to enhance their map skills.
