Karla, I will say that I haven't actually seen him roll over yet, but my granddaughter warned me. So I won't just be laying him in the middle of the bed and think he will be safe for a month or so yet. LOL Ginny
Hi Thea, I was reading your posts about your quilts, and was wondering about your statement: "....when I am basting right on that seam to make sure it is all the same direction as I do not press open."
I've wondered about the seam(s) on a pieced backing and whether it is better to press to one side as on the quilt top, or to press this seam open? I'd appreciate your thoughts on it. And the thoughts of anyone else who has experience either way. Thanks! kathy

Kathy, I have watched programs where quilters press their seams open and talk about doing it and the reasons... I disagree with them... I think you give more stabilization to the seam by pressing it over to one side. I have looked at my DH's grandmothers quilts to see how she did it because the reason I have heard that it was done was to keep it easier to stitch the 1/4" to a side if you didn't have to go through all those layers and have found that she sewed through them and pressed to a side...
To me it makes that seam less likely to come apart if it isn't stressed which is what I think pressin open does... and I have not seen that it as any different with the ability to hand quilt through it - when I hand quilted I pressed to the side...
The reason that I make sure that all seams are pressed in one direction is that I found when I hung a quilt in a window that the sun coming through the backing to the front showed me which direction my seams were pressed and when one was twisted I could see that and I didn't like that it looked "messy" to me... I have a form of OCD in that I am a perfectionist... Kay Woods would have called me a pointed person...
I do, also, use a very tight stitch. My Janome the stitch is 2.2 on my Pfaff it is 2.5... it is very difficult to rip out so you don't want to make a mistake but it helps me to "believe" that my seams won't come apart... and whether it be true or not - I think they are stronger when pressed one direction instead of pressed open...
Debbi-Do - your quilt is adorable and I am simply amazed at how quickly you got it done. You are awesome!!! That Big Brother is going to be so thrilled - did you get him a big brother shirt to go with his quilt?
Thea, beautiful quilts and your backs are wonderful! Great work, as usual!
Millbury, MA
I finished one more quilt this weekend... only 2 left to do bindings on - this one I started at retreat last year and it has a simple backing of one fabric.

Love this one, Thea! Is the holly appliquéd?
Angele, great baby quilt, love those borders!
Karla:Do you think I'll ever catch up, especially since I'm babysitting and a Grandma's Taxi Service?
I have no doubt, Karla. Bless your heart for all you do and still have time for your passion, quilting.
Oh I hear you Karla. I am going to start babysitting my new GGS tomorrow. All day every week for who knows how long. He was a preemie- Born on Feb 10th and not due to be born until April 4th. He now weighs 7lb. 7 oz. and is 20 inches long. He was 4lb 9oz and 17 inches long at birth and he rolls over already. Doesn't matter which way he rolls both ways. This is going to be exciting, but I think very tiring too. I think my quilting is going to suffer. Ginny

Ginny, bless you for babysitting your GGS! When he naps, you nap, that's how I did it when I babysat my granddaughter and that was 17 years ago when I was 59. Couldn't do it full time at my age although I wish I could, those were some of the best years of my life.
He's growing by leaps and bounds, rolling over and all, God Bless him! Pics, we want pics!
Bonita, bless you too! Aren't Grams great?
Debbie-do, I love your quilt and your quilting is very nicely done, good job! Congrats to your HGS!
1. In a moment of nostalgia in November 2006,
Quiltless recalls her Grandmother spending time embroidering and quilting with
her in 1953-1954. Embroidery was done
with shanks of embroidery floss and a fat needle using a hand held hoop. Quilting was done with a pencil, yardstick
and scissors and then a needle, thread and hoop. Quiltless is awed by the new sewing
technology and decides to buy an embroidery/sewing/quilting machine on
eBay. The embroidery machine has a patented
stitch that looks like hand quilting.
2. Early 2007, Quiltless has a friend who shows
her how to do a simple rag quilt. It is
a good beginning quilters project.
3. Summer 2007, Quiltless decides to make 3 or 4
small baby-blanket sized rag quilts for the couch so the young Labrador's claws
won't scratch the leather. Quiltless and
DH go to Joann's to buy the fabric. DH
has provided a plastic gift card the size of a credit card.
4. Quiltless doesn't know how calculate yardage
so she buys 2 - 3 yards of eleven different fabrics. Thankfully, the fabric is 100% cotton, but
only because Joann's had a quilter's section.
On the advice of a friend, she bought flannel for batting; lots and lots
of it!
5. Quiltless spends the next couple of years
learning to use a rotary cutter and mat; cutting over 500 six and a half inch
6. In 2012, Quiltless finishes sewing around the
edges using a half inch seam allowance.
7. In January 2014, Quiltless finishes sewing
the Xs through the 500 squares.
8. In March 2014, Quiltless randomly laid out
some of the blocks, six across and seven down for the first pad. She sewed the individual blocks together in
9. On April 7, 2014, Quiltless sewed the rows
together -- it took a week. The batting
made the folded sections very thick and a denim needle was used.
10. In 2014, Quiltless planned to do the fringe
cutting and other pads later. The UFO
goes back in the recycled plastic, zippered blanket bag and back into the big,
latched plastic Sterilite bin.
11. In 2016, Quiltless decides the rag quilt
would look better with more squares of the floral print. Quiltless has searched all over the internet
and can't find the fabric.
12. The young Labrador is now an old dog. It no longer jumps on the couch.
13. In 2017, Quiltless decides to abandon the
unclipped first pad and make the remaining pads with a different floral
print. An Amazon drone delivers the
14. In 2019, Quiltless cuts the six and a half
inch squares using a machine that uses laser for cutting. No more rotary cutter and mat.
15. In 2020, Quiltless, whose eyesight is fading,
still notices that the new fabric is the new quilters quality fabric. New manufacturing processes make it substantially different from what was
available in 2007.
16. In 2022, Quiltless decides to abandon the
coarse flannel batting and go with a lighter batting. Due to the wars, raging inflation, oil prices
skyrocketing, cotton prices skyrocketing and other reasons, she can only get
small amounts of cotton yardage. She
speaks to her whole-house computer and a drone arrives that afternoon with a
yard of fabric and a barcode for future orders.
Supplies are not guaranteed and the product warnings are now the size of
a catalog. Lot matching is not a problem
because all manufacturing is computerized;
Just send a swatch and photo back and it is custom made. Fabric is 199~ (global digital credits) a
yard. Money is no longer used, even in
credit cards. The US dollar is no longer
the currency standard, a global digital credit system is used. You no longer have to remember your user name
and password. It is all done by retinal
17. In 2027, cotton yardage and batting are no
longer available to the individual consumer. The US military was downsized because of the
national debt. The US military no longer
ensures US interests abroad. Shipping
lanes are highways of piracy. Anyone
expecting a commercial delivery system to deliver such raw goods to individual
consumers is considered selfish and out of touch. The new generation is taught that the
individual consumerism of the previous generations was the cause of the wars
that nearly devastated the planet. The
rag quilt goes back into the Sterilite bin, never to be seen again in Quiltless's
18. In 2100, the squares, fabric and sewing
notions are being passed through the generations as a family treasure. No one remembers Quiltless except for her
19. In 2200, a family member sold the UFO to an
antiquity fiber arts collector. The
collector (we no longer use gender based pronouns like he or she) put it in a
20. The collector died and the estate
administrator didn't know about the vault.
It remains in the vault like a time capsule.
21. In the year 2525, if man is still alive, if
woman can survive, they may find … the vault with the Sterilite bin.
22. Now it has been 10,000 years. The next ice age is receding. The archaeologists found the Sterilite box. They tried carbon dating and it appears to be
circa 2000; a great find of historical significance. Someone tried to make something out of real
natural fibers. This was before things
were learned by swallowing a pill. An
article is placed in the Journal of Archeology.
23. Children try to remember the start date for a
history test.
24. It is in a hermetically sealed in a glass
case in the International Federation's Colony, Planet Genoa's - Smithsonian as an example of something called "quilting": a quaint activity of the Earth based American
(It is still an UnFinished Object!)
Kath, I loved this and just had to print it to read again. I got a lump in my throat about the Lab dog no longer jumping on the couch.
In the beautiful Pacific Northwest!
Thank you everyone for the nice compliments on my Dino quilt. It was very fun to make. I got the Dino panel on sale and once I had a baby for it, found fabrics to match...and voila!
Thea I sometimes press the seams to one side and other times I press them open. This all depends on how many seams are intersecting. I try to avoid adding bulk in those seams as it gets very thick when you add the front and the batting. With all the quilting on top, there is no chance of the seams letting go.
Angèle from NWO
Quiltless, LMAO, you should be a writer! I love it! I will read it over and over again. Thank you , you made my stressful day , happy again, I'm still smiling typing this... You da bomb!
Quitless, I am still laughing over your essay! How funny. I sometimes wonder if there is anyone who will care about these quilts when I am gone. Now I know, they will just be an ancient artifact in someone's history class. Thanks for cheering up my day, roflol!
Quiltless, your UFO story made me smile....lots. Just what I needed today.

SEE ALSO: DIA's Jung Chae Yeon to be a torchbearer for the '2018 Pyeongchang Winter Olympics'
Under a post titled 'Doesn't this pic of Jung Chae Yeon slightly resemble President Park Geun Hye?' a netizen posted a single pictures of the idol, asking others if they see the resemblance as well.
It seems most people agree the Jung Chae Yeon does look a bit like Park Geun Hye during her youth. The top comments read, "O_O (picture of young Park Geun Hye shared below)," "Honestly Park Geun Hye sucks but her looks are on the delicate side. Her mother was a total beauty haha," "She looks like a celebrity here..(referring to fourth pic)," "She is really pretty (referring to last pic)," and more.

Well, let's talk about a decade in the United States, the '90s, a decade some think is best forgotten - the MC Hammer pants, the Macarena.
What's wrong with the Macarena?
MONTAGNE: The '90s are making something of comeback, including some of its big names in music. This summer saw new albums from the Backstreet Boys and Goo Goo Dolls; a biopic is being made about TLC. Their 1995 single "Creep" won a Grammy.
TLC: (singing) So I creep, yeah, just keep it on the down low. Said nobody is supposed to know...
MONTAGNE: And today is the 20th anniversary of Nirvana's "In Utero," which is being re-released with some new material. The resurgence of 90s music is reason enough to talk to Ann Powers, NPR music critic. Good morning.
ANN POWERS, BYLINE: How are you doing, Renee? I think I'm still living in the '90s this morning.
MONTAGNE: Well, good. That's absolutely perfect. The '90s, musically, seems to have been all over the place, actually. I mean, you had indie rock, R&B, hip-hop. Talk to us about the common thread.
POWERS: In truth, every musical era is all over the place. What's focused is the revival itself. When you look at the revival of the '50s, for example, that happened with the movie "American Graffitti" and then the television show "Happy Days," it really hit on some specific landmarks. And I think the difficulty with the '90s revival is that no one can agree on what the most important landmarks are.
MONTAGNE: You know, though, people talk about nostalgia - they say it comes in cycles. What do you think about the '90s? Is it possibly, simply, that decade's turn?
POWERS: It is absolutely the turn of the '90s. If you think about it, kids who maybe bought "The Chronic" by Dr. Dre as their first album or, you know, Nirvana's huge breakthrough "Nevermind," those kids are now running media companies, choosing the music for television shows. A lot of the artists from the '90s are still around or making huge comebacks. Nine Inch Nails is having a moment with a new album and a smash summer tour. Kathleen Hanna of the riot girl band Bikini Kill is back with her new band, the Julie Ruin. It's a combination of artists who hit in the '90s still being vital, and people who grew up with that music now taking charge of the culture.
MONTAGNE: Although how much of this is also being driven by the industry - sort of like movie sequels?
POWERS: Well, yes, definitely there's an opportunity in reviving something that was well proven. I think when you saw the big deal that MTV made about the very, very short 'N Sync reunion on the Video Music Awards this year, that's a good example of a revival that was guaranteed to bring eyes to the screen.
But at the same time, there's also another reason for the music industry to want to revive the '90s, which is that the '90s and then into the early 2000s, was the last gasp of the conventional music industry before the Web changed everything. So you know, there's a certain wishfulness about '90s revivalism in music. Why can't we have the monoculture back; this idea of mass culture that unites millions of people not only in terms of what they're consuming, but in what brings meaning to their cultural lives.
MONTAGNE: That would certainly apply to Nirvana and its fans.
POWERS: Yes. And it's arguable that Nirvana was the last rock band that fit in the mold of the Beatles. In other words, a band that came from slightly outside the mainstream and with its new, fresh ideas changed the mainstream, impacted the sound of the moment and the lives of its fans, in a way that your average hit single does not.
So that's one reason why I think we look at Nirvana with such idealism even though, of course, the story of Kurt Cobain is quite a tragic one and that band itself, you know, had its ups and downs.
MONTAGNE: So in a way, speaking about Nirvana, it shows that there is something quite classic that came out of the '90s.
POWERS: It's funny that you use the word classic, Renee, because of course that applies to classic rock of the '60s and early '70s, which a lot of artists of the '90s were rebelling against. But as we mature, we find what was classic about our own youth and what it produced. And I think what's really worth revisiting in the '90s revival - in music, at least - is the sound; the intensity of Nirvana's sound, and the beauty and lushness of '90s hip-hop and R&B. I love that side of the '90s revival. You're not going to catch me wearing flannel, Renee, but I will be listening to songs like Nirvana's "Heart-Shaped Box" for the rest of my life, whether or not there's an official revival.
MONTAGNE: Ann Powers is NPR's music critic. Take care and thanks.
POWERS: Thank you so much, Renee. Rock on.
MONTAGNE: This is MORNING EDITION, from NPR News. I'm Renee Montagne.
INSKEEP: And I'm Steve Inskeep.

Charles Manson
""Essentially the world's most complicated man, Manson speaks in riddles and misdirections, all designed to wrong-foot and throw you off...Maybe he's so genuinely unhinged that there is no real person anymore; just a madman-slash-showman spewing patter like a broken radio.
|—Stuart Millard
Charles Manson (born 1934) was a delusional cult leader in the 1960s, with strong messianic tendencies. He believed that "Helter Skelter", by the Beatles, along with some of their other songs, was a coded order to start a racial uprising in the United States. As a result of this insanity, he led his cult, known as the "Family", on a murder spree at Roman Polanski's home (Roman was in France at the time). One of their victims was his pregnant wife, Sharon Tate. His initial death sentence was commuted to life in prison when California briefly outlawed capital punishment. He remains in prison for these crimes to this day, periodically coming up before a parole board, which quite sensibly leaves him where he is. Another of his Family members, Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme, is known for her failed attempt to assassinate US President Gerald Ford.
Helter Skelter is the title of prosecutor Vincent Bugliosi's book chronicling his pursuit of the monstrous crimes committed by Manson and his Family. (The late Bugliosi also published books about other cases he had a lead role in, why O.J. Simpson got away with murder, why Bill Clinton shouldn't have been deposed for the Paula Jones lawsuit (which opened the door to Monica Lewinsky) during his presidency, the impropriety of the Bush v. Gore decision, refuting John F. Kennedy assassination conspiracy theories, promoting the prosecution of George W. Bush for various crimes against humanity and the U.S. Constitution, and a book supporting agnosticism with logical points attacking theists but using long debunked PRATTs to attack atheism.)
Prior to his founding the "Family", Manson was an aspiring musician and composer. A number of his musical recordings are circulating across the internet and among collectors of music and "Mansonia". Early work consists of demos he made before the Tate-LaBianca murders, others were recorded in prison on cassette tapes smuggled in and out of his cell. While he does have some talent for bottle neck blues guitar, his composed lyrics are often incoherent.
In a bizarre example of crank magnetism, Manson also has a small cult following among some U.S. neo-Nazis particularly those of the third positionist ilk.

Technical Level: Easy
In order to meet HIPAA guidelines, patient names should be masked so as to prevent them from being readily identifiable to anyone other than the patient. ClockwiseMD offers three different HIPAA-compliant formats from which to choose (shown for the patient John Smith):
• First name, last initial e.g., John S. (default value)
• First initial, first three letters of the last name e.g., Smi, J.
• First initial, last initial e.g., J S (this format is rarely used as it can be the most confusing if more than one patient has the same initials)
Here are the locations in which the change can be effected, in order of ease:
In the traditional settings page:
Alerts and Displays > • Patient-Facing Name Format
** be sure and click the Update Display button to preserve your change
In Team Admin:
• HIPAA name format
** be sure and scroll to the bottom of the hospital page and click the Save button to preserve your change
NOTE: if the change has been made while patient names are already displayed, you'll need to refresh the wait room display (by rebooting the G-Box or by switching to the Home Page, then back to the UrgentQ app) to seen the change.

Bigga is an uninhabited island in the Sound of Yell between the Mainland and Yell in Shetland, Scotland.
Puffin Island
Irish Sea
Puffin Island (Welsh: Ynys Seiriol) is an uninhabited island off the eastern tip of Anglesey,
Isles of Scilly
Annet (Cornish: Anet, kittiwake) is the second largest of the fifty or so uninhabited Isles of Scilly, one km west of St Agnes with a length of one km and approximately 22 ha in area. The low lying island is almost divided in two by a narrow neck of land at West Porth which can, at times, be covered by waves. At the northern end of the island are the two granite carns of Annet Head and Carn Irish and three smaller carns known as the Haycocks.
The rocky outcrops on the southern side of the island, such as South Carn, are smaller. Annet is a bird sanctuary and the main seabird breeding site in Scilly.The island is closed to the public from 15 April to 20 August every year to limit the disturbance to the breeding seabirds for which it has been designated a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI). It is also within part of the Isles of Scilly Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (AONB) and is managed by the Isles of Scilly Wildlife Trust[3] who lease it from the Duchy of Cornwall.
Little has been found on Annet in the way of human remains apart from a prehistoric hut circle, a fragmentary field system and several limpet middens. Bones of cattle and sheep were found indicating that they were eaten here and probably grazed the island.[3] It is proposed to designate the whole of Annet as a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[4] The name of the island is first recorded in 1302 as Anet.
In the 19th century Annet was ″used for pasturage by the inhabitants of other islands″although with only one freshwater seepage there could not have been many animals grazing on the island. The SS Castleford struck the Crebawethans in June 1877 and led to some of her cargo of 250 to 450 cattle being landed on the island and staying there for up to ten days. Gurney (1889) reported that ″… the animals trampled everything and would have caused an immense amount of damage at the peak of the shearwater and storm petrel nesting season″. It seems unlikely that many stayed for ten days because of the need for fresh water. Cattle were washed up on the Cornish coast as far as Mount's Bay and St Ives.Another ship wrecked nearby, the Thomas W Lawson spilled her cargo of oil on 14 December 1907 causing the loss of many birds. In 1971 Rex Cowan found the wreck of the VOC Hollandia. A large quantity of coins were found along with bronze cannons and mortars. The ship hit Gunner Rock on the 13 June 1743 with the loss of 276 lives.
Natural history
The geology of Annet is of Hercynian granite overlain with raised beach deposits. The island is low-lying with a top height of 18 m and the coast consists of boulder storm beaches. The effects of wind exposure, salt spray and lack of topography, restricts diversity and only 53 species of vascular plants have been recorded. The north of the island is dominated by a well developed, thick, thrift (Armeria maritima) turf whilst the southern part is dominated by dense stands of bracken (Pteridium aquilinum), bramble (Rubus fruticosus) and bluebells (Hyacinthoides non-scripta), with some sand sedge (Carex arenaria) and Yorkshire fog (Holcus lanatus). Thickets of tree mallow (Lavatera arborea) have developed at the back of some of the boulder beaches. There were scattered colonies of shore dock (Rumex rupestris) until a storm in 1982 swept away some of the boulder beaches. One colony remains in the corner of a relatively sheltered beach in the south of the island at a freshwater seepage. Annet is the ″British stronghold″ for the lichen Roccella fuciformis.
Annet is considered to be of outstanding importance as a seabird colony. Twelve species nest here, of which two, Storm Petrel (Hydrobates pelagicus) and Lesser Black-backed Gull (Larus fuscus) have nationally important breeding populations. The Storm Petrel breeds amongst the boulders of the more stable storm beaches. The largest population of Manx Shearwater (Puffinus puffinus) in the islands breed here and the other annual breeding species are Puffin (Fratercula arctica), Greater Black-backed Gull (Larus marinus), Razorbill (Alca torda), Kittiwake (Rissa tridactyla), Fulmar (Fulmarus glacialis), Herring Gull (L. argentatus) and Shag (P. aristotelis). Common Tern (Sterna hirundo) breed on the island most years as do Cormorant (Phalacrocorax carbo) and very rarely Arctic Tern (S. paradisaea).
Breeding birds
Annet has long had a reputation for being the best island for breeding birds and Jessie Mothersole visiting in 1910 described the island thus:
″Annet is known by the name of " Bird Island," from the immense numbers that breed there. In the early summer the sea all round is black with puffins and razor-bills, their white breasts being hardly noticeable as they sit on the surface of the water ; and the air above is dark with clouds of gulls, and full of their ceaseless cry. Puffins (also called sea-parrots) have bred on the islands from time immemorial″.
Numbers of breeding birds have fallen over the years and in the last 150 years some of the threats have been recorded. The stranding of cattle from the SS Castleford, in 1877, would have caused a problem with so many heavy animals grazing and walking over the shallow soils and burrows of breeding birds. Another wreck, the Thomas W Lawson on 14 December 1907, spilled her cargo of oil and many of the rabbits and birds on Annet ″were seen to lie upon the shore″. The smell of oil could still be smelt on nearby St Agnes eighteen months later.[10] At the time of Jessie Mothersoles visit in 1910, visitors were only allowed one hour on the island and shooting and egg collecting were forbidden. Despite this, Annet figured highly on the list of places to visit for egg collecting. An examination of the egg collection at the Natural History Museum (NHM) shows 45 eggs taken between 1880 and 1936 by 14 individuals and one group from Holloway College; doubtless there are many more eggs in private collections. Names on the data cards include well known wildlife experts such as Charles Rothschild and F W Frohawk. An indication of how common and acceptable egg collecting was at the time, is the issue of day permits to visit uninhabited islands by the warden A A Dorrien-Smith of Tresco. A NHM data card for three eggs in the collection has a permit for landing on Annet on 24 May 1931 attached and allowed the Souter brothers to land on any island, except tern islands, for up to one hour.
Seabird 2000 survey
The most recent count of seabirds on the Isles of Scilly was the Seabird 2000 count and on Annet 209 nests were found to be occupied by Shag out of a total of 1109 for the islands. On Scilly, they breed almost exclusively beneath boulder beaches or holes in low cliffs. Manx Shearwater was estimated to occupy 123 burrows out of a total of 201 for the islands' – a 74% decrease from a previous survey in 1974.[2]

Thought Bubbles: Guest Post, Opinion/Editorial, Why Don't You Read Comics?
A nice guest article.
If your wife loves mysteries, I'd like to see a novel reader's reaction to the mysteries in books like the first Fables trade, or Batman Long Halloween, or even Identity Crisis.
I actually suggested Identity Crisis, but my wife has no knowledge of the DCU, so I didn't really want to put her through that. Not yet. We'll work up to it :)
Brandon, great article, interesting choices, fascinating views from the missus, well done!
I got my wife to read the first trade of Y: The Last Man and she ended up spending a week reading all the trades after she finished work each day. She loved it, loved it. But it has been hard to get her into anything else, she recently read Pride of Baghdad and found it good, but sad. She usually reads over my shoulder a little in bed, she liked the deer scene in the first trade of Northlanders and said it might get her to read the whole thing, but that hasn't eventuated. I'm not sure she'll ever just pick up a comic if I don't suggest it first.
I also got a friend, complete non-comic guy, to read The Nightly News, he loved it.
I'd start anyone else on something that doesn't have a cape or spandex in it. Depending on the person, Vertigo and Image are the way to go, for sure.
Well, it helps that Emily has always been a huge Spidey fan. She had already been initiated into the superhero fold, so to speak.
Did you consider giving her All-Star Superman? I'm trying to get my brother into reading it, because he hates Superman and I think it could make him dislike the character a bit less.
Too bad my fiancee dislikes reading altogether. Books, novels, magazines, whatever, she hates them all.
ultimate spider-man, y: the last man
have her try planetary vol 1. history, art, writing, not connected to any continuity ... totally awesome.
What did your wife say about the ending of 1602?
It was such a WTF moment when I first read it. My wife read the book as well, and she told me she didn't like it very much.
@Ivan-I haven't read All-Star Superman myself. I know I should rectify this...
@altonralston-Same issue with Planetary. Need to read that as well.
@Matt-Emily LOVES Peter Parker, so she really liked the end of 1602. It was indeed a WTF moment though. Why didn't your wife like 1602?
I think you should have your wife try Asterios Polp and Blankets. I'm pretty sure she would like those.
Other than that, i like to know her opinion of Watchmen but that'll be probably asking too much. Oh and one last thing; BONE!!!!!!! If anything, try to get the scholastic editions of it. Whoever they had to do the color did a outstanding job and the paper stock is quite awesome.
My g/f loved Whedon's Astonishing X-Men run. I also got her to read Local. Although she said she liked both, she has only ready a few issues of Chew since. To be fair, she does not often read novels or anything non-fiction.
I would like to suggest 'Unwritten' for your wife. Since she likes literature and history this may be a good match for her tastes.
@Prime: She didn't like the ending, not the series as a whole.
Interesting feedback from the wife.
And great idea for an article too. Good work, enjoyed it.
Actually I have tried to get people to read comics but its a gentle and slow process because people tend to have such strong notions about comics (specially where Im from) and getting some of them to try them is a challenge, specially if you want them to do so with an open mind.
Ive managed to get a couple of my closest friends and my sister to read certain titles ranging from Hellboy to Transmetropolitan to Batman - whatever I thought might appeal to that person in particular. Ive even given people that "In me own words" bigfoot autobiography. Its a great ice-breaker! :D
So far Ive been pretty successful in getting their interest piqued. Two of my friends have become avid comic fans - they dont follow ongoings but regularly want comics to read and occasionally get their own. I hope to get more people to see the possibilities in this medium and given that Im working on getting in the field myself hopefully that will give incentive to at least try it out to some others among my acquaintances.
Good essay, and cheers to your wife for being up for the challenge. Not sure I could get my non-comic-reading husband to pick one up, even though they are right there, in nice hardcover form, in the bookcase in the living room.
I'd like to suggest she read "Wake Up", the third Daredevil trade from Volume 2. Beautiful, non-traditional comic book art by David Mack, and a great story by Brian Bendis.

My name is Kirk Warren and I'm a full time comic fan blowing my pay cheques on way too many comics every week.
Back in the early 90's, my mother bought me a Spider-Man comic to shut me up on a trip. I didn't know it at the time, but that moment changed my life. Since then I've become a full blown comic fan and now purchase well in excess of 20 comics per month plus trades and other comic related goods.
As you can see, I've taken my hobby to the next step with this blog and it's allowed me to connect every single day with thousands of people that share the same passion I have for comics and I wouldn't change that for the world.

A weird EP full of music that tries hard to be electronica, Up to No Good blends assorted rock and country melodies, creating a kind of cool, kind of jarring pop that packs a lot into five songs. Birds and Batteries, then, are disquieting, a trait that makes them more compelling than they may seem on first listen.
Songwriter (though these songs, while tight and evocative, sound more constructed than arranged) Mike Sempert's vocals are a foundation for each soundscape, his voice's tone adding smoke to the colder arrangements and deepening the warmer ones. Adding slide guitars and strings helps make "The Villain" much more than a minimalistic exercise; abrasive loops turn the dance-friendly "Lightning" into a vehicle of subtle dread. The same is true with "Out in the Woods" or "Sneaky Times." There are songs here that conjure up a funky, psych-doom vibe, even when trying to sound upbeat. Maybe this is what Frankie Goes to Hollywood or Ministry were trying to have us believe they sounded like.
Up to No Good is glorious and gloomy. Birds and Batteries push and crash, challenge and confirm, and make me want to harm to the dance floor.

Isla chatarra Trailer (2007)
30 August 2007 Factual 52 mins
Isla chatarra describes the phenomenon of the ubiquity of automobiles in Puerto Rico. The island measures slightly less than 9,000 square kilometers, but has 25,000 kilometers of paved road, one of the highest proportions in the planet. Puerto Rico is one of the countries with the largest number of vehicles per kilometer (of road) and third in the world in number of cars per 1,000 inhabitants. The film was produced with the idea to raise consciousness and create a dialogue about the ongoing situation of our dependence on cars. It also shows the dangerous circumstances of an island that is slowly being covered by scrap metal.

Good evening, I'm just a freshman at the University of Guelph, and man it rocks. School is about 20% of it. The other 80% comprises of drinking, parties, girls, drinking, uh....parties. I'm sure there are some well educated posters in the crowd, and the question I have for you is, why isn't this message being spread to the world?! If highschool kids had the motivation of ultimate parties in post-secondary education, I bet grades would skyrocket. Besides from the $250,000 (Canadian...which is more than you think haha) debt I'm going to encounter once I graduate, I hope all of you minors learn something from this. Do your work now, and you will get repaid by failing General Chemistry in first year, I mean....uh....chillin' with a few beers getting laid. Thanks for listening,
I went to a community college(2 year college) for 4 years, it was great. (Perfesional student) Then my parents cought on and woulden't pay anymore, I did get 3 degrees though. It was so much fun.
I love exams...
Uni is indeed badass. Except for third year exam periods- stressful!
[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] MCs Brother Hmm. Parties? Girls? Drinking?
Hmm. Parties? Girls? Drinking?
I was going to point out the waste of money, but when I found out you only pay $5 American to get into the school, I began considering a return to education.
Ahh, uni seriously does rule. Yoozel will testify to the fact that I go on about my Student's Union WAAAAAAY too much.
thats ok i just go to a local college and tarvel in the summer and winter. nothign like goign to otu of state/country partys.

On pain…and suffering
Medfører smerte lidelse – eller opstår lidelse når vi ikke kan leve livet som vi ønsker det? Det forsøger dette indlæg, som jeg re-blogger, at se nærmere på.
Two words that often go together: Pain, Suffering. Pain we can define according to the IASP definition –
An unpleasant sensory and emotional experience associated with actual or potential tissue damage, or described in terms of such damage (Read the note below as well).
Suffering? What is that?
My favourite definition comes from Eric Cassell (Emeritus Professor at Cornell University). He makes the point that bodies don't suffer, only people do, saying that "in all the situations in which suffering comes about the meaning of the occurrence to the person and the person's perception of the future are crucial" (Cassell, 2011). The point he makes is that while bodies may have nociception, and neuroendocrine responses to emotional stimuli, bodies do not have a sense of the future, and bodies don't know meanings, only people do. Illness doesn't come from disease, it comes from a process that "unfolds over time" as…

Interessant, Morten. Jeg vil sige, at det ene ikke udelukker det andet!!! Dette er vurderet paa min egen erfaring (som tidligere kronisk smertepatient i mere end to aar), erfaring med mine patienter og naturligvis research. En absolut spaendende debat.

OMG this past week has literally had me in tears with every wedding submission I've received, I don't know what's going on with me, but it does not bode well for my big day! Anyway, South African based Andrew Alexander of Alexander Productions was no different. He has such a beautiful cinematic approach to wedding films, I feel like I'm watching the trailer to a romantic comedy about weddings – which, let's be honest – is my dream come true.
I was thrilled when Andrew got in touch with me to share his work and I can't wait for you to see it either! Make sure to check out his website and vimeo channel for more information.
He says "Everything you see is live raw wedding video footage captured naturally on the day. I don't interfere at all on the day and rather capture real and magnificient magic as it happens!" I love it! Tissues ready?

I am having a problem with page templates.
In my electronics section, I have separate pages for "Audio & Video", "Camera & Photo", "Office Electronics", "Computers", etc. On each category page, I have sub-categories listed. For example, on my page titled "Audio & Video", there are sub-categories named "DVD Players", "TVs & HDTVs", "Home Theater Systems", etc. Under each sub-category, there are links that call up the "results" in a page template. Most of the sub-categories under "Audio & Video" use the "electronics.html" template. Some of the category links under "Camera & Photo" pull up the "camera.html" or "photo.html" template, but some of them revert to either the "electronics.html" or go directly to Amazon.
Is there a way to designate a specific page template for each category page or sub-category link? For example: I would like for the links under "TVs & HDTVs" to call up a "tv.html" template with a page header of "TVs & HDTVs", and the link for "DVD Players" to call up the template "dvd-player.html".
Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.

In the current AE beta, you can specify a particular template for a specific sub-category (browse mode number). Download the beta from http://www.c3scripts.com/amazon/release/ and see v4.11.12-beta notes at http://www.c3scripts.com/amazon/revisions-beta.html for usage.
AE determines the template to use based on the store at the amazon.com website (the complete list of templates tried is outlined at http://www.c3scripts.com/amazon/docs12.html#multiple ). Some sub-categories at amazon.com mix stores so that's why you might end up in a different store (e.g.: camera or photo). If AE can't determine what store the sub-category is in, then AE redirects to that sub-category page at amazon.com (the redirection has your amazon.com ID in it).

High school girls basketball: Utah's top seniors compete in all-star games
prepsports Delta, utahMarch 23, 2014 3:23 p.m.
The 3A-4A game was just amazing. So much talent on both sides. And for the 3A team to make that big of a come back in the fourth quarter was amazing. But the best part was to see the girls that were battling it out against each other a couple weeks earlier for the State Title come together and play as a team to win this game.

- Massage the solution onto your skin.
- Let it sit for 30 minutes and then rinse off with cold water.
- Packed with beta-carotene and antioxidants, this mask will remove tan and brighten complexion.
Hydrating Mask
- Take 1 tablespoon of potato juice, add 1 teaspoon of yogurt and a pinch of turmeric.
- Using a fork, mix until you get a smooth paste.

David Alton writes: 'Africa is awash with feral children'
The words "suffer the little children to come unto me" might have been uttered with Africa in mind. For with one million orphans often living rootless and disaffected lives, and the number rising exponentially, who can doubt that this will be the most serious challenge that a continent riven by so many crises must face? Africa is awash with feral children, faring little better than vermin. Orphaned children are the sharp end of the Aids pandemic but urban drift, civil war, a collapsing education system, human trafficking, and corruption are all playing their part. I have just been in Southern Sudan and northern Kenya with the humanitarian organisation, Jubilee Action, and saw first-hand some of the implications of this new crisis - and some of the ways we can respond. In a timely report, "Children On The Brink" several agencies including the United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), have just spelt out the scale of the disaster. They say that in 88 countries studied "More than 13 million children currently under the age of 15 have lost one or both parents to Aids, most of them in sub-Saharan Africa. By 2010, this number is expected to jump to more than 25 million." World-wide, by 2010 UNICEF says the number of orphans in the world will have risen to around 106 million (about a quarter Aids related). By the same year, in 12 African countries orphans will comprise 15% of all children under the age of 15. There are already indications that this will not be the peak. In Zimbabwe, for instance, 17. 6% of children are already orphans (three-quarters left parentless by Aids) and, in Kenya, HIV prevalence among pregnant women ranges from 3% in Mosoriot to 31% in Chulaimbo. Bishop Patrick Harrington, the bishop of Lodwar, in Kenya's remote Turkana region told me that the District Medical Officer reports 34% of the population infected by the HIV/Aids virus. Poignantly one young Kenyan simply said to me: "help us, Kenya is dying." The consequences of a vast dislocated and embittered underclass of orphaned children will be devastating for Africa. Tomorrow's revolutionaries and tomorrow's coups are already in the making in the festering slums to which children with no hope and no prospects migrate. Here is a fertile breeding ground for both Marxism and the radical fundamentalism of some Islamic groups. Culturally disaffected young people will always create unrest but the numbers in Africa are without precedent. The crisis of orphans is shoed away; I see no evidence that national governments either understand the scale of this catastrophe or to what it will lead. Aids is a major contributor to this crisis but not the only one. The ravages of African civil war and tribal killings also take their terrible toll. In Southern Sudan the vicious policies of the Sudanese government have caused two million deaths and 4 million internally displaced people - including vast numbers of children. Development is impossible in places like Sudan's diocese of Torit, which is being pounded into the ground. The auxiliary bishop, Akio Johnson, showed me where bombs had showered down on their schools and the shelters where children take refuge "like foxes in holes." For most children there is no education at all. There are just 20 secondary schools in an area the size of Western Europe. In neighbouring Kenya the picture ought to be better. The day before I arrived in Turkana a missionary had buried seven parishioners murdered by a raiding party from nearby Ethiopia, who had come to steal women and cattle. Elsewhere the Rendille told me how a mother had been killed and her six year-old castrated by a Somali raiding party. Rushed to Nairobi's children's hospital he has survived, becoming another of the orphaned statistics. In the 1980s I was Chairman of the Council for Education in the Commonwealth and Kenya was a shining light of educational achievement. Today, under President Daniel Moi's Kanu government the education system has collapsed and incompetence and corruption has seeped into every last vestige of society. I didn't meet a single Kenyan who wasn't hoping for a change of government after elections later this year. A senior schools inspector, Samuel Lepati told me that "the country's children have become marginalised." At the Kenyan Parliament the chairman of the National Alliance Party, the hon.Dr.Noah M.Wekesa told me that political strife was destroying Kenya: "When two elephants are fighting, it is the grass that suffers." In Kenya it is the children. Dr Philista Onyango, the formidable regional director of the African Network for the Prevention and Protection Against Child Abuse and Neglect (ANPPCAN), says that the rot began in the mid 80s when Moi introduced "cost sharing" for Kenyan parents. Forced to pay large fees towards education many simply withdrew their children from school and if it was a choice of sending a boy or a girl the boys get priority: "32% of our children lack access to any kind of education, either through not enrolling or dropping out," she says. Traditionally, if a Kenyan family was poor, children would be sent away to relatives or family friends to find work. Today, urban drift leads to children being exploited, driven into sex slavery and prostitution. Most of the children are totally uneducated and with no employment prospects. Handed over to bogus employment bureaux run by racketeers it is not long before they are prostitutes and themselves HIV/Aids positive. The chance of building a stable civil society in such circumstances is negligible." There is no way we will have democracy with illiteracy," says Dr Onyango. I visited the slum town of Kibera, where 700,000 people, one third of the population of Nairobi, are living in 21,115 structures. It would be hard to call them homes or even dwellings. It is said to be the largest slum in sub-Saharan Africa. In rooms six-foot by six foot whole families try to survive. They live among garbage heaps where typhoid, TB, cholera and HIV are rampant. Drug abuse, incest, crime and prostitution equally so. At 15, children must leave and find some way to make a life on their own. At Kibera we saw some of the men who had migrated from the Rendille and Turkana tribal lands, now employed on a pittance as watchmen. They have abandoned their wives and children; and those that do return have visited HIV on their kinsfolk. Aids is a gun pointed at Africa's female gender. Steve Wathome, who co-ordinates Kibera's Community Based Organisations, has embarked on a series of small-scale self-help initiative: "dependency syndrome has become a disaster," he says. Dr.Onyanga makes her point even more graphically asserting that "The day the international agencies go, Africa will develop." ANPPCAN provides more than thirty pro bono lawyers to champion children's rights and in two respects Kenya has begun to address the challenge. They have put new children's courts and children's laws in place. But they need an Enforcement Unit, as the laws are not yet biting. They have established a new Standing Committee on Human Rights under the impressive leadership of Thuita Mwangi but only time will tell whether this is a government public relations ploy or a watchdog with teeth. In opening ANPPCAN's latest initiative, a textile factory employing former prisoners, I saw plenty of evidence that given a chance people can make it on their own. I reminded them of the prophet's words that "where there is no vision, the people will perish." Along with clearer vision there are practical things that can be done to relieve the suffering of the children. Jubilee Action's new dormitory for blind Rendille children in northern Kenya is an example: a sign of hope. The wonderful health, education, and self-sufficiency initiatives I saw in Turkana's diocese of Lodwar; an adult literacy project run by a Christian couple who have spent 22 years among the Rendille tribe are others. Employment projects particularly help to curb the urban drift. There are superb personal initiatives, like the centre for 160 street children built at Wea, central Kenya, by a group of people from the British High Commission, and which has been handed over to the Catholic church to run. But none of this is enough. Unless there is a realistic response to Africa's new catastrophe I fear that civil unrest will lead to children being hunted down like rats; summarily executed on the streets by frightened military leaders who fear anarchy and disintegration. Alarmist? It's happened elsewhere and frightened corrupt elites who feel threatened will have no compunction in using violence. So if they aren't to perish, what should be the vision? Perhaps the motto of the blind children at Loglogo Jubilee Action project best sums up what Africa's children now need. "Give us only opportunity, not sympathy," it reads. David Alton is an independent Crossbench peer; he is one of the founders of Jubilee Campaign; was founding chairman of the all-party parliamentary Street Children Committee; and Professor of Citizenship at Liverpool John Moores University. This article is also published in today's Catholic Herald.

The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) rolled out version 1.3 of the Embedded DisplayPort Standard (eDP). eDP v1.3 features Panel Self-Refresh (PSR) for saving system power and extending battery life in portable PC systems. The Embedded DisplayPort Standard is a companion standard to the DisplayPort interface designed for embedded display applications, including notebook PCs, tablets, netbooks and all-in-one desktop PCs.
eDP v1.3 Standard Features
- Panel Self-Refresh (PSR)
- Saves system power and further extends battery life in portable PC systems
- Adds clarity on how to use the new 5.4 Gb/s DisplayPort main link data rate [HBR2 (High Bit Rate 2)]
- Available for purchase from VESA (free for VESA member companies)
- Portable PC devices utilizing the eDP v1.3 PSR are expected in early 2012
Based on industry market trends, eDP will eventually replace LVDS (Low-Voltage Differential Signaling). By 2013, Intel and AMD will no longer support LVDS in favor of scalable and lower power digital interfaces (such as DisplayPort). Dell, Lenovo, Samsung and LG Display also will phase out legacy technologies in the coming years. Industry analysts believe eDP is the ideal replacement for LVDS. eDP offers a feature-rich replacement that is cost effective and ready for high volume implementation.
The Video Electronics Standards Association (VESA) is an internationally non-profit standards organization, representing a global network of hardware, software, PC, display and component manufacturers committed to developing and promoting the electronics industry.

'Sucker Punch' Star Emily Browning Back Inside the Mind with 'Plush'
by Ben Pearson
May 25, 2012
Source: Variety
Despite its impressive visuals and interesting premise, Zack Snyder's Sucker Punch became one of the most critically reviled films of 2011. Its unorthodox plot structure explored the concept of sanity, and now lead actress Emily Browning is set to star in another movie that deals with similar themes. Variety reports that Browning has joined the cast of Plush, Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke's newest original film that follows a psychic psychologist who dives into the minds of patients to help them confront their issues, but he soon discovers there is a young girl (Browning) who possesses the same gift he does. More below!
Interestingly, Comingsoon has a remarkably different plot synopsis listed for this movie. They claim the film is actually a romantic suspense thriller about a rock star on the rise (Browning) who loses her band mate and brother to drug overdose and takes comfort in her new replacement guitarist. The two hook up, despite the girl being married with two kids, and when she rebuffs the guitarist's continued advances, she realizes he's unstable and her family's lives are all in danger.
I'm not sure which of these stories I'd rather see. Lords of Dogtown was good but I haven't cared for any of Catherine Hardwicke's other directorial efforts, and Browning is something of a mystery to me since I've only seen her in Sucker Punch and Lemony Snicket's A Series of Unfortunate Events, so neither of these options are enough to really get me interested. If the real synopsis is the "exploring the mind" one, they've got a lot to live up to with Inception still in the public consciousness (and even Tarsem's The Cell covering similar ground with amazing imagery). But the band story sounds like 50 different movies we've seen before, so it seems as though this production is fighting an uphill battle either way.

Newsnight Investigates: Liverpool's unsolved questions on Hillsborough
Nearly 20 years may have passed, but the findings into the the 1989 Hillsborough disaster which saw 96 Liverpool fans killed are still being contested on Merseyside, and the BBC's leading investigative journalism show Newsnight have reopened the case to looked into the criticisms still being voiced by those who were affected by the tragedy.
The central question remains how, and why, did so many people die at a football match?
Officially the police have been blamed for their incompetence and failure at the time of the disaster, but many still believe that more questions remain covered-up. No individuals have ever been held accountability for the events of the day. And in particular, the findings from the time of the original investigation which saw the coroner rule that all the deaths at Hillsborough had been suffered by 3.15pm still remain hugely divisive with many challenging that conclusion which denies the possibility that the failings of the emergency services contributed to many of the deaths on the day.
As part of the Newsnight report the only ambulance man, Tony Edwards, to enter the Liverpool end of the ground during the tragedy is interviewed. Edwards calls the 3.15 cut-off time a "time of convinencie" with the eye-witness remembering clearly the events at the time.
The excellent Newsnight report into the Hillsborough disaster can be seen here.

After leading most of the game, NC State could not hold on and beat Frank Haith's Missouri Tigers in Raleigh last night. After being in control for about the first 36 minutes, the Wolfpack seemed like they would pick up a vital OOC win over an SEC opponent. Instead, things fell apart in the end as the Tigers hit five threes out of their final seven baskets.
Overall it was a good game for the Pack, but they came up short in the end. It was puzzling that TJ Warren did not score in the final 12 minutes of the game, after pouring in 24 up to that point. It was also puzzling that Mark Gottfried took Kyle Washington out of the game late, yet left in Leonard Freeman down the stretch. Washington was clearly having his best game of the season, and Freeman failed to do much all game long.
Also puzzling was BeeJay Anya only getting nine minutes of action when Jordan Vandenberg was limited to 22 due to foul trouble. I think Gottfried was trying to go a little small due to the guards on Mizzou, but with Cat Barber being in foul trouble the entire game it may have been time to focus on your own strengths versus trying to match-up with the Tigers'.
At the end of the day it was a hard fought game and Mizzou hit a few more shots, including 19/26 free throws compared to 8/14 for the Pack. Up next for the Pack is UNCG on the 30th, before hitting ACC play against Pitt on the 4th. A win over Mizzou would have gone a long way heading into ACC action, but we can only hope this lights a fire under them and they tighten up their flaws, like Ralston Turner forcing threes up when they should be feeding Warren down low.


text: There was a wanted poster in a downtown bar Wednesday night. It offered a $100 bar tab to anyone who told the owners who the BLEEP BLEEP is that wrote a "tag" on the bathroom wall. For anyone who doesn't know, a tag is someone's mark or identity in the perplexing world of "tagging." It's basically graffiti without any skill, unlike some of the amazing works of illegal art seen in many large subways. No, tagging is just them writing their alias wherever they can in an effort outnumber their "competitors." Anyone can do it. All you need to get a big fat marker, think of some pseudonym – EDITIR, for example, and write away - the more visible the wall, the better. And, it really upsets other taggers if you mark over their own tag, as if it was their property to deface in the first place. I mean, I've known people who have gone to blows over it. As far as the bathroom walls go, I think the bar's owner is fighting a losing battle to keep them graffiti free – even with the chalkboards he hung in there as a substitute for self expression. For some reason, drunks just like to write whatever crude or indecipherable thought is running through their head at the time. I wonder if it's as bad in the ladies room? Anyway, I wish I knew who wrote that tag. The $100 tab can buy a lot of Pabst.

Assignment for Borges, Day 1: Option 1
Could Humanity, as we know it at least, actually be part of a grand illusion that which is merely someone else's imagination? As in both texts, the idea of Creationism is a prominent theme. Drawing from other texts, themes like this can be seen in such stories as Alice in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll: particularly in chapter four. From this chapter, Tweedledee tells Alice, while looking at the Red King, that she herself in fact is just a character in his own dream and imagination. Contrastingly, in The Circular Ruins the Sorcerer, although not knowledgeable of whom his Creator is, realizes that, "With relief, with humiliation, with terror, he understood that he, too, was but appearance, that another man was dreaming him." (100) From this, the blindness of a man can lead him to become, as in Statements, "…blinded by vanity…" (111) And believe, "…that he himself has come up with them." (111) Here, "them" having the meaning of the Sorcerer's son.
From the Creation of Humanity to our Creation of God, we gave meaning to that which we did not fully understand. Perhaps only because, we like in Statements are unable to fully realize our purpose; And in that, we are as Quain would say, the ""…writers manqués…"(111) However true this may be, we still Create like any other person, be it for comfort or conceivably pleasure, possibly everything that we see around us. For instance, as the Sorcerer prayed to his "…planetary gods…" (98) in The Circular Ruins, for merely pleasure and want to be able to finally dream his son and his "…beating heart." (98) From this quote, we can compare the correspondence between its meaning and that from Statements when it is said that: "…of the many kinds of pleasure literature can minister, the highest is the pleasure of the imagination." (111). Evidently of course not being from the Sorcerer's literature works, this literature can easily be substituted in for his imagination; And from that, the realization that we ourselves could have in fact and most likely, Created God from our own imaginations and desire – comforting and consoling the unknown.
Within Statements, Quain "…argued that readers were an extinct species." (111) From this, one might wonder if the term "readers" may carry along with it a deeper meaning. By chance, perhaps all of Humanity are the extinct readers; meaning, that we as human beings have become completely desensitized to the idea of Creation and we are now unable to distinguish one from the other. For illustration, I believe that in The Circular Ruins, the Sorcerer may have also been a dying out "reader" himself: believing that he had created his son without have any question to whom might have created him. Until later, when the Sorcerer at "The end of his meditations…" (100) had the choice to either continue his blindness to "reading" and jump into the water, saving "his life"; Or, walk into the fire and "… absolve…" (100) himself "…from his labors." (100) A question may be risen from this scenario; perhaps for most of Humanity, unlike the Sorcerer, most are choosing to jump into the water to save themselves only in turn selectively choosing to continue their blind utopian world – with their imagined God at the middle. Or perhaps rather a select few, like the Sorcerer, would choose, although hopefully for better reasons, to walk into the fire. Which in turn, would inevitably allow them to become enlightened and knowledgeable that they themselves are merely a figment of someone's twisted imagination; And by that, a fully realized "reader": now open to endless possibilities.
From these summating ideas of Imagination, Creation, and Realization it is but fact that these two short stories: The Circular Ruins and Statements, have shown deeply rooted connections to how they define not only how we could have Dreamed our own world, but perhaps more intriguingly – how our world could have Dreamed us. Allegedly, the Sorcerer created his son as our God created us, but how can Humanity survive when we ourselves created our own Creator? Therefore, Humanity, like the Sorcerer, must have been dreamt by Another – a vastly superior being that we cannot possibly begin fathom.
1 comment:
This is pretty awesome. I wrote on a similar notion and wish mine was nearly this good. I'm trying really hard to find a weakness but I can't even name one. You grasp the religious allegory completely, and draw the connection to Circular Ruins in an extremely effective manner. Sorry if this isn't all that constructive, but I think all you need to do is expand on what you have. Maybe when you describe the choice people face between "reality" and fantasy, consider people who go insane, and question whether or not its actually negative for them, that by living in a world of their creation, they may be experiencing the sort of "ecstasy" you described early in your essay.ReplyDelete
