If only Brian Williams would have read these two King Solomon Proverbs, perhaps he would not now be considered a fool laughing stock subject. For example check out this post HERE
Twp King Solomon Proverbs he should have heeded.
- Truthful speech lasts forever, but false speech only for a moment. (Proverb 12:19)
Lies are fragile, and as soon as they are sifted lose their credibility and are exposed as worthless. The truthful man will go on from strength to strength for none of his words will fall to the ground, but the liar will speedily be detected and discredited. (Proverbs McKane)
- As snow in summer and rain at harvest, so honor is out of place for a fool. (Proverb 26:1)
If snow fell in the summer or rain at harvest, it would be a sign that the world was topsy-turvy. So if it snows in the summer, it would last for only a slight duration, same as a man acquires reputation, stature and influence which are disproportionate to his intrinsic worth. This same situation bears out if a man is an imposter and he attempts to erect himself as an object of public esteem. Indeed he is palpably a fraud and his pose is so utterly incongruous with his worthlessness, that it cannot be sustained. (Proverbs Mc Kane)
Everyone makes foolish decisions in their life but not everyone is a major news broadcaster. Brian has no recourse now, since he has bared his folly, but to grin and bear the criticism being directed at him..
I am sure he regrets it, but the reality of life is people can be cruel. When you are in the public eye, you have to have alligator skin especially when you become the brunt of jokes caused by your own folly.
King Solomon wrote numerous proverbs of wisdom and advice to help us succeed in life. if only we would take the time to read them, we might prevent ourselves making foolish mistakes we later regret.
Regards and goodwill blogging.

Admins and non-admin individuals who have been granted permission in Governance can import Salesforce reports that are either all contacts or all leads. These reports can be imported once, every morning at 3am Pacific Time, or every hour on the hour.
When a report imports new and updated data automatically, we consider it a recurring import.
Note: Salesforce limits imports to 2000 records per import. If you are trying to import more than 2000 records, we recommend exporting data to a CSV file.
Create a Report in Salesforce
- In Salesforce, click on the Reports tab
- Click on the "New Report" button
- Select the report type and click the Create button
- For a Contact report choose "Contacts & Accounts"
- For a Lead report choose "Leads"
- Choose "All Leads" in the report, then use the search on the left to find the "Owner" field and drag it over to filter.
- Drag any additional fields over into the body of the report to add more data columns to the report (such as "Title" or "Source").
- Click the "Run Report" button, then "Save As"
- Save the report in the "Unfiled Public Reports" folder
Import a Salesforce Report into Outreach
- Click the "Quick Actions" button located in the top right hand corner. If on a listview page, the Quick Actions can be accessed by clicking on the lightning bolt icon on the top right corner.

- Click "Next" and you'll be brought to the mappings page. Here we surface all columns of the Salesforce report, which you can map to the corresponding Outreach report, or leave them blank if they is no corresponding match.
- On the final page of the import, you can select prospect ownership, overwrite existing fields with the report information or update missing fields on existing prospects, assign a time zone, add a stage, add a source, add additional tags, and decide whether or not you want to automatically load additional data from Salesforce. Once you've made your changes, click on "Next" on the top right corner of the page and confirm the import.

Online Marketing Benefits Small Business
As an entrepreneur you have to be aware of the marketing strategy, it is a document describing in detail the nature and goal of the enterprise venture. Microsoft Office 365 &#forty five Customer will receive the Business Essential plan with subscriptions to use the products on the desired number of PCs during buyer's subscription term with CenturyLink, which begins upon initial installation and activation of the product. Since 2002, a collection of federal investigations have discovered fraud, abuse, loopholes, and a scarcity of oversight in federal small enterprise contracting, which has led to the diversion of billions of dollars in small business contracts to large corporations.
Note that many of those ideas could have been listed in more than the single class I positioned them in. But I thought it could easier and extra fascinating for you, if I only listed each business once. There are two basic sorts of Internet filtering applications available on the market at the moment: Client-based and server/community-based mostly. I know a fellow who started a successful cellular DJ enterprise even earlier than he was old enough to have a driver's license. A lender's small business useful resource is normally limited to the funds of a business.
One of my mates developed an incredible retail enterprise with several small reward places within procuring malls. Promis rehabilitation centre: the weak spot of this business is it solely bought one clinic located in London subsequently they don't seem to be very known. Your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is chargeable for making certain you could simply, shortly hook up with the Web, ship and receive e-mail, and run the basic functions of your online enterprise. Internet marketing offers small companies the flexibility to market with smaller budgets.
My enterprise group must be prepared on mortgages and taxes going up in order for my business to face financial crises it has to price range it cash effectively in an effort to do that, my enterprise organization will employ experienced accountants and use trusted banks to maintain its money in. the enterprise organization also have to be honest with its workers and pay them in time, in order to not get sued which might cause the business to get bad status.
It's time to take the subsequent step, and evaluate the enterprise concepts that made it to the top of your list. Other corporations, including lending institutions and the Small Business Administration, supply comparable providers that don't require the acquisition or installation of software program. Wireless Web access permits you to obtain well timed information such as business news, inventory prices, sports activities scores, and driving instructions. You'll additionally save time by not scheduling a full presentation of your marketing strategy for those who're simply going to get a no.

Dear Marion,
You have been such an integral part of my own journey. I wish you the very best in these trying times as you return to your primary business to shore up things there. You are sorely missed and never forgotten.
Love, Ahshua
Dear Narrative Enneagram Community,
Due to unforeseen and sudden circumstances, my time and attention are fully required in my primary business, a physical therapy private practice, for a period of time. The wellbeing of this business has been threatened and will potentially affect the livelihood and the lives of 12-14 employees, and my successful transition into becoming a full-time Enneagram teacher.
After careful deliberation and with sadness in my heart, I have requested a leave of absence from my teaching engagements for ESNT, effective August 15, and will need to postpone my other Enneagram workshops. It is my deepest wish and intention to return to teaching the Enneagram in the Narrative Tradition as soon as I can.
Other ESNT Core Faculty members have graciously offered to fill in for me during my absence. Over the years, the Somatic Enneagram curriculum has been co-taught with Terry Saracino and Renée Rosario. I have full confidence in their abilities to teach the Somatic Enneagram Awareness material. In my heart and spirit I will be present in this amazing work you all have chosen to engage in.
In the spirit of our Enneagram Narrative community, we are blessed to have each other in times of difficulty as well as in times of joy. I have deep gratitude for the understanding and support of ESNT and my co-teachers during this challenging time for me.
With deep appreciation for our work,
Marion Gilbert
Dear Marion,

Dear Marion,
Sending you warm and best wishes always.
" Do not praise yourself not slander others:
There are still many days to go and any thing could happen" – Kabir
Thinking Well of You, Walter Beam 9 SP
Marion, I had not seen this post until today. I certainly hope that you will re-enter Enneagram or other healing ministry opportunities soon. You are a gifted teacher, guide, researcher, and companion on the journey. You make a difference in many lives, mine included.
May all be well for you, your family, and work.

Fall is here!
Well yes, fall is finally here. The time of beautiful color, and bountiful harvests.
I love harvests time!
I love the little kiddies out on Halloween in all their cute costumes, Apple cider and goodies, and then the leaves in huge piles and the corn stalks all tied in towers.
It's all just so nostalgic and beautiful! But for folks like me, it's also a very busy time, for getting soaps and other things stocked up before the holidays. I have been trying to play catch up on pouring soap.
We have a new mens soap that is sure to be a favorite with the guys, and some gals too. It is found in the Traditional Soaps section on our catalogue page page.
We named it "Up North" and is a sort of camo soap. It's scent says "Hunky Sexy Man" for sure!
We've also made our Energize! soap in The Coconut milk formula, for all of our milk soap lovers. The scent was just too good not to give it a second option. It can be found on our catalogue page page under Milk Soaps.
There is more coming soon so please stay tunned.
For all of our down on the farm fans, the farm is getting smaller as we grow older. I made a big decision this weekend to sell all of my hens, Well all…I only had 11 hens, but to me that was a flock! haha!
I am glad to report that they have went on to live with a very good friend of mine and her much larger flock of barred rocks.
I talked to her the morning after moving them, and she reports that They have adapted and mixed in rather well. One even laid an egg for her the very first morning. That made me feel much better about the decision.
I made this move because it is getting harder for me to fight the snow drifts out here with the winds, and taking care of one barn instead of two twice a day will make a world of difference. We have big wind out here with no wind break, this makes for BIG drifts and I am short, which does not help at all.
But I will still have my goats, and if I can't stand being without my girls I can always try again in a while. But for now I think it's time for a break.
Itty Bitty Kitty is doing well, growing like a weed and I just can not wait for him to be fixed! Fat Boy and Jackie Cats would appreciate it too I'm sure. He has so much testosterone that they don't want to play with him. As my Mother would say "He is hell bent for leather!"
Well have lots of fall fun everyone and have a safe and Happy Halloween!

Join daring archeologist and adventurer Indiana Jones as he travels to 1935 China to prevent a powerful artifact from falling into evil hands. Indy's latest globe-spanning adventure takes you from the jungles of Ceylon and underwater palaces in Istanbul, to the deadly streets of Hong Kong and beyond. Racing against evil Nazis and the Asian underworld with mysterious, alluring partner Mei Ying, you'll leap, swim, climb and punch your way through exotic locales, fighting hand-to- hand combat from street brawls to martial arts battles. It will take more than just your trusty whip and pistol to avoid deadly traps and navigate through all the dangerous environments. Do you have what it takes to possess the mysterious "Heart of the Dragon?"
This guide will whip you into shape. Full walkthrough, weapon, item and enemy info, plus how to get Artifacts!
It is with a sense of irony that I note the following: The action-adventure bandwagon has come full circle, returning home with Doctor Jones at the reigns. So, Lara Croft, described by Core Design as "a sort of female Indiana Jones" started off with an incredibly cool quest in 1996. Remember the pants you soiled when that T-rex strode into view? LucasArts gnashed its teeth, and attempted its own Indiana Jones outings, but none matched the novelty of Tomb Raider. Fast-forward six years, and while Eidos scratches its collective heads wondering what the hell it just shipped, LucasArts has quietly shipped the PlayStation 2 port of its rather good Xbox adventure. It does everything that Lara's done in the past. And sometimes, it does it better. Read More »

War movies used to fall cleanly into one category, then they started getting blurry, questioning the war, those in charge at every level, and even the soldiers themselves. Reality and confusion came to them and they edged more and more towards reality rather than dramatic interpretation.
With that comes Jarhead, based on the book of the same name which explores what it was like for the soldiers during Desert Shield and what happens when soldiers undergo intense training only to be left to do nothing but…well, more training.
Thanks once again to the ladies at Ocean Terminal Vue Cinema for helping me see this movie in such a good cinema. Huge screen, bombing sound, perfect for the film content.
So Jake Gyllenhaal is the current golden boy of Hollywood, he's got unusual looks coming from the school of Robert Mitchum looks, kind of odd looking but you're just drawn to those eyes onscreen. He's also starring in some diverse and incredibly odd roles, brought on by his early starring role in Donnie Darko, a superb movie and one which he no doubt draws upon for his Jarhead performance.
Although you could say the roles are very similar, Gyllenhaal is still superb in this role. Intense, strong and showing the slow decline of the soldier on the edge of insanity and boredom. It's interesting watching his changing attitude from trying to avoid being part of the Marines to actually finding something to prove, and all the way through his performance is utterly engaging.
The film really does bring across the way we, including the Army itself, treat Soldiers as commodities, not thinking of them as humans at all, just pawns to be thrown around. It also shows you the desperation and frustration that the soldiers face and how most of them, especially those higher ranks, consider it as more of a game than the deadly reality of war.
His performance is not the only strong one, many of the other actors stand out and Jamie Foxx gives another strong performance as the Staff Sergeant in charge of the team of highly trained snipers.
The first half of the movie is quite slow, and could well have been edited down to quicken up the pace a little and bring the soldiers to the point of Desert Shield. Yet in a way this delay heightens the affinity of the audience with the drawn out experience of both training and sitting around waiting. It's not that the first half of the movie is that bad, just a bit too long, so when it comes to the second half when we really start to get to understand these soldiers, the wait that they experience is slightly tarnished by the wait we've experienced in the first half.
When they do arrive in Kuwait however, that's when some of the best scenes of the movie happen, and some of the most shocking. As the team come across the convoy of escaping civilians you witness some of the best effects and set design you'll ever see. Simple things such as the black powdered dust across the desert floor captures your eye from the moment you see the soldiers feet brush over it. The corpses and burnt out wrecks in that scene are so realistic it's frightening. Having seen footage of some of the actual burnt corpses I couldn't tell the difference.
The cinematography in this second half really excels, with the burning oil wells being the high point, well filmed and well edited. It produces some very powerful and thought provoking scenes, particularly the intensity at which Peter Sarsgaard erupts with anger during the actual sniper mission. In those moments I felt totally for those two characters and the raw emotion in both of them was superb to see on screen.
The second half was more uncomfortable and thought provoking than the rest of the film, and yet I really do feel that it needs that first half to allow these scenes to provoke such reaction. A very bleak vision of what our soldiers are and what they are asked to do.
One final nod though, the music. Jesus Walks is now on my playlist and is on my top rating now, it's such a powerful song and matches the film perfectly.

INTIMATE COLLECTIONby Dalit Nemirovsky | 05.08.12
One of the best feelings for me is to see a project I've been working on come to life. As someone who works from project to project, I get to feel this thrill from time to time… This week an exhibition I have been working on came to life when production was done and the photographs were finally revealed.
This exhibition of intimate portraits by photographer Lea Golda Holterman is open till September 30th at the Ferrate Art Gallery. Most of the portraits in the exhibition are taken from the Ortodox Eros project, one of Golda Holterman's most famous work – portraits of young Yeshiva students. This project has already been exhibited in numerous galleries in Israel and abroad and if you haven't seen it yet, this is your chance.

Veterans who will be discharging less than one year from now or who have discharged within the past year are in a CRITICAL stage as it relates to their VA claims due to the time sensitivity of their unrecognized potential claims and previously undiagnosed conditions. All foundational claims must be fully developed and supported with the appropriate lab, diagnostic test, or formal diagnosis NO LATER THAN 365 days AFTER DISCHARGE to qualify as valid medical evidence.
One of the most common and most costly situations veterans find themselves in is the realization that their medical file does NOT contain the necessary documentation needed to support all of their valid disability claims.
Many factors can contribute to this problem:
1. The veteran may have been deployed and the medic simply treated an injury and failed to document the treatment in the medical records.
2. Medical records may have been lost during a PCS/move between duty stations (very common before the shift to electronic medical records).
3. Military medical providers ARE NOT worried about properly documenting your medical encounter to support a future disability claim. Many providers simply treat your symptoms and record minimal documentation in your medical record.
4. The vast majority of medical providers are not experts in pathophysiology and very few consider possible medical conditions that their patients are NOT currently complaining of.
5. The most common factor is the veteran's failure to seek medical treatment due to concerns surrounding the negative impact they will have for seeking treatment. There may be concerns about being unable to deploy and getting passed over for advancement (i.e. active duty soldier postpones shoulder surgery because he knows he won't be able to deploy with his unit during the 9 month recovery) or concerns about the loss of flight status or loss of security clearance if PTSD is reported, etc. Others fail to report Military Sexual Trauma (MST) due to concerns about retaliation or embarrassment/ridicule.
You certainly DESERVE to be compensated for any legitimate disability that's attributable to your active duty service; UNFORTUNATELY you are only legally ENTITLED to compensation for disabilities that are appropriately documented.
Many veterans who are discharging from active duty file for the Benefits Delivery at Discharge (BDD) program and simply hope for the best. Unfortunately, many BDD applicants receive a disappointing VA Rating Decision Letter that highlights the reality that the veteran lacks the necessary evidence to show the disability was linked to active duty service. In a number of cases we've seen, the veteran receives their VA Rating Decision Letter with a number of denied claims AFTER the 365 days post-discharge period has expired… which prevents the veteran from being able to get the disability properly linked and receive service connection and compensation.
The key for veterans who are still within the 365-day-from-discharge window is to have your medical files thoroughly reviewed by a competent medical professional who has a strong understanding of biomechanics, pathophysiology and pharmacology. We review ALL of the medical evidence in your file and cross-check that with your medical history and review of symptoms intake questionnaires we have you complete. This analysis allows us to confirm that all of the required medical documentation is in your file AND, send you to the appropriate appointments to establish valid evidence supporting your existing and future claims.
What is the difference between a veteran going the BDD route on their own vs. having us guide them through the process? Using as an example a veteran retiring with 20+ yrs of service: over the past 7 years, we have NEVER had a single retiring veteran fail to hit a 50% or higher VA Svc. Con. Disability rating when we reviewed their medical records while they were within their +/-365 window, with most Army & USMC retirees coming in at 90 to 100% rating. With our help, those veterans file an average of 25 – 35 VALID claims that are fully supported by medical evidence while in the +/- 365 window vs. an average of 5-15, (with many lacking supporting evidence) when they use a VSO.
The more disappointing news is that we often run into retired veterans who have a rating of 0% to 40% who are NOT receiving both their full retirement and VA disability pay due to CRDP rules. While we've NEVER failed to get a retiring BDD veteran over the 50% threshold necessary to receive full retirement and VA disability pay while they are within the +/-365 window, it's also not uncommon for us to find veterans who DESERVE to be over 50%, but because they have insufficient documentation of legitimate disabilities in their record and they are outside the +/-365 window, there's sometimes nothing we can do to remedy the situation.
One year prior to your retirement or discharge is the ideal time for us to start working with you to help ensure you have the proper documentation you're going to need to win ALL your VA disability claims.

1. That's me in first grade; the year I knew I would become a teacher. I keep this photo in my classroom and share "my story" each year with my students.
2. I'm a child of the 80s and graduated from college in the 90s. I am a first generation college graduate. I am still amazed that I did it! College changed my life forever.
3. I've been teaching since 1997. Since then, I've taught with and without standards, looped, team taught and taught kindergarten through third grade. Regardless, I know it is what I love to do.
4. I love children's books and have a large collection both at home and at school.
5. This is the first avatar I had when I began blogging three years ago. Blogging has renewed my passion for teaching and creating. It has helped me become a better teacher and connected me with wonderful people and resources.
6. I did not know about true love until I became a mother. He is an aspiring chef; really you should hear him talk about food, loves reading and is curious about the world around him. He is a true teacher's kid and calls himself my assistant. He's going to first grade and I am thankful that I will be able to see him throughout the day.
7. I've been married to the love of my life for 8 years. He is my everything. (That's all he'll let me show you of him.) He's my best friend. He loves cooking, photography and Star Wars.
8. I volunteered here in high school, later worked here as a Museum Education Assistant, and was married in this spot. I met some of my closest friends here. It is a place dear to my heart.
9. As a family we spend our weekends at Disneyland and our summers at the lake in Wisconsin.
10. Fall is my favorite season. We are a Packer family. Honestly, I don't know much about football. But if it makes my boys happy, it makes me happy. This year, I am going to try Fantasy Football.
That's me in a nutshell. I'm a wife, mother, teacher and blogger. Best wishes to you this school year.

|The Princesse de Broglie
Portrait of Princess Albert de Broglie
|Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres
|Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Bearn
|121.3 cm × 90.8 cm (47.8 in × 35.7 in)
|Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York City
The Princesse de Broglie is an oil on canvas painting by the French Neoclassical artist Jean-Auguste-Dominique Ingres. Completed between 1851 and 1853, it shows Pauline de Broglie, styled Princesse, who, in 1845, married Albert de Broglie, the 28th Prime Minister of France.
Pauline was aged 28 at the time of its completion. She was highly intelligent, widely know for her beauty, and deeply religious, but suffered from profound shyness, and the painting captures her melancholia. Pauline contracted tuberculosis in her early 30s and died in 1860 aged 35. Although Albert lived until 1901, he was heartbroken and did not remarry.
In preparation for the commission, Ingres undertook a number of preparatory pencil sketches, each of which capture her personality and sense of taste. They show her in various poses, including standing, and in differently styled dresses. The eventual painting is considered one of Ingres' finest later-period portraits of women, along with the Comtesse d'Haussonville, Portrait of Baronne de Rothschild and Madame Moitessier.[1] As with many of Ingres' female portraits, details of costume and setting are rendered with a chilly precision while her body seems to lack a solid bone structure. The painting is held in the collection of the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, and is signed and dated 1853.
Joséphine-Éléonore-Marie-Pauline de Galard de Brassac de Béarn (1825–1860) married Albert de Broglie, the 28th Prime Minister of France on 18 June 1845, and they had five sons together. Although not high royalty, on the occasion of their marriage, they styled themselves Prince and Princesse respectively. Pauline was a highly intelligent and religious woman, who was well read and wrote a number of texts in her lifetime. Her shyness was well known; she was widely considered strikingly beautiful and charming, but those around her would often avoid eye contact so as not to embarrass her.[2] Albert was devoted to his wife, and commissioned the painting after being impressed by Ingres' 1845 portrait of his sister, the Comtesse d'Haussonville.[3]
Albert approached Ingres around 1850 to undertake the portrait. Although the artist at times painted pendant portraits of couples, Albert believed himself too ugly to be depicted by an artist as highly regarded as Ingres. Ingres dined with the de Broglie family in January 1850, and according to one eye witness, "seemed to be very happy with his model."[2]
Although Ingres' main source of income came from portraiture, it distracted from his main interest in history painting, which early in his career, was far less lucrative. He found acclaim in the 1840s, when he became successful enough to no longer depend on commissions.[4] This painting was Ingres' second-last female portrait, and final society portrait.[5]
Influenced by the working methods of Jacques-Louis David, Ingres began with a number of nude preparatory sketches, for which he employed professional models. He built up a picture of the sitter's underlying anatomical structure, as seen in the Musée Bonnat study, before deciding on how to build the lavish costume and accessories.[5] Although there is no surviving record of the commissions, and the exact sequence of events is uncertain, the sketches can be dated from 1850, the year the style of her evening dress came into fashion.[5] Ingres signed and dated the final picture at the left center "J. INGRES. pit 1853".[6]
Pauline died in 1860 aged 35 from tuberculosis. After her death, Albert published three volumes of her essays on religious history.[2] Albert lived until 1901, but heartbroken, he did not remarry.[2] He kept her portrait for the remainder of his life draped in fabric and hidden behind a velvet curtain,[7] only lending it to select exhibitions.[8] After his own death, the painting passed within the family until in 1958 when it was sold to the Metropolitan Museum of Art via the banker and art collector Robert Lehman,[9] and is today held in the Lehman Wing.[7] The family kept most of the jewelry and accessories seen in the painting, although the marabou feathers were sold to the Costume Institute of the Metropolitan Museum.[8]
There are comparatively few extant preparatory sketches for the de Broglie painting compared to other of his later period portraits. Ingres' usual technique was to use sketches both to plot the final work and to provide guidance for assistants on whom he relied to paint in the less important passages. It is assumed that he left so few as some were lost or destroyed,[10] and that he felt strongly about the portrait and intended to complete it in its entirety, without assistants.[11]
The extant sketches date from 1850 to 1853 and are drawn with graphite on paper or tracing paper. They vary in elaboration and detail, but show Ingres thinking through the eventual form and pose of the sitter. The earliest consists of a brief sketch of the princess in a seated pose.[12] There is a full-length study of a nude standing in essentially the final pose, in which Ingres experimented with two different positions of the crossed arms. A second full-length study shows a clothed figure. Two others are focused on her hands.[2][1] A highly finished drawing of the princess standing with her left hand at the neck and dressed in a simpler costume than in the painting, may be a study for the painting or an independent work.[12] Besides these five or six extant sketches, about the same number are known to be lost.[5]
Study, c. 1852–53. Graphite on paper, 30 x 16 cm. Musée Bonnat, Bayonne
The painting's central motifs were already established in the earliest studies, in which her oval face, arched eyebrows, and habit of folding her arms with one stuffed into the opposing sleeve appear.[2] Ingres found the sittings difficult and agonised over every detail. He wrote to his friend and patron Charles Marcotte that he was "killing [his] eyes on the background of the Princesse de Broglie, which I am painting at her house, and that helps me advance a great deal; but, alas, how these portraits make me suffer, and this will surely be the last one, excepting, however, the portrait of [his second wife] Delphine."[5][13]
The Princesse de Broglie is shown in three quarters view, her arms resting on a lavishly upholstered, pale gold damask easy chair. Her head is tilted to the viewer's left, black hair tightly pulled back and bound by blue satin ribbons.[6] She is dressed in the height of contemporary Parisian fashion,[15] in particular the opulent Second Empire fashions then current in clothing, jewelry and furniture. She wears a gold embroidered evening shawl,[4] and an off-shoulder[14] pale blue satin hoop skirt ball gown,[16] with lace and ribbon trim. Her hair is covered with a sheer frill trimmed with matching blue ribbon knots. Her adornments include a necklace, tasseled earrings and bracelets on each wrist. Her pendant with cross pattée signifies her piety and was perhaps designed by Fortunato Pio Castellani or Mellerio dits Meller.[7]
She is located in the family home at 90 rue de l'Université in Paris,[7] in an evening dress that implies she is about to depart for the evening.[17] Her earrings are made from cascades of small natural pearls. Her left wrist contains a bracelet of roped pearls; the one on her right is made of red enameled and diamond set gold links. The necklace is held by a double looped chain holding a gold pendant, which appears to be an original Roman bulla.[18]
As with all of Ingres' female portraits, her body seems to lack a solid bone structure. Her neck is unusually elongated, and her arms seem boneless or dislocated, while her left forearm appears to be under modeled and lacking in musculature.[19] Her oval face and facial expression are idealised, lacking the level of detail given to other foreground elements,[7] although she was widely known as a great beauty.[3]
The painting is composed from grey, white, blue and yellow and gold hues.[16] The costume and decor are painted with a supreme precision, crispness and realism that art historians have compared to Jan van Eyck.[20] In many ways the painting is austere; art historian Robert Rosenblum describes a "glassy chill", and "astonishing chromatic harmonies that, for exquisite, silvery coolness, are perhaps only rivaled by Vermeer."[21] Her facial features are statuesque and in passages display the quality of porcelain.[4] The painting contains a number of pentimenti, including around the contours of her hair, and the yellow chair. The horizontal bands are about 2.5 cm wide, and composed from yellow paint on either side of her head near the earrings. They seem to have been used to plot the positioning of the moldings. The black hat on the chair seems to have been a late addition. There are visible passages of underdrawing where the artist seems to trace out shapes and positions, established in the preparatory sketches, onto the grounded canvas. These include squared lines around the left shoulder and chest areas. There are lines mapping out the throat and top edge of the bodice.[1]
Compared to the Portrait of Comtesse d'Haussonville, or most of Ingres' later portraits, the background is flat and featureless, probably to place emphasis on the coat of arms.[22][23] It comprises a neutral soft pale grey and evenly textured wall, with a linear structured gilded wood mouldings,[6] and a fictitious coat of arms combining the heraldics of the de Broglie and de Bearn families.[22] The grey wall is underlined with a barely discernible deep blue pigment.[1] This minimalist approach reflects the "ascetic elegance"[16] of his early female portraits, where the sitter was often set against featureless backdrops.[16] The precisely rendered details and geometric background create an impression of immobility, while subtle movement is implied by the tilt of her head and the shimmering folds of her dress.[24]
The current frame measures 157 x 125.6 cm at the exterior and is made of pink-orange bole pine,[25] and lined with a garland of gilt-plastered ornament flowers. Its ornaments lie on ovolo molding. Produced in the United States between 1950-60 (around the time the Metropolitan acquired the work) in the French Louis XIII style fashionable in Ingres' period. It is similar to, and probably modeled on, the frame used for Madame Moitessier, which is probably an original and is dated 1856.[8] The original de Broglie plaster frame was completed at latest c. 1860, and is thought to have been similar to the current.[25]
The painting remained in Ingres' possession until 1854,[26] when it was first exhibited that December in his studio, alongside his unfinished Madame Moitessier (c. 1844–56), Portrait of Lorenzo Bartolini, and c. 1808 Venus Anadyomene.[27] One critic wrote that the painting showed Pauline as "refined, delicate, elegant to her finger tips...a marvelous incarnation of nobility".[14]
The work was an instant critical and popular success, and widely admired and written about. Most critics understood the artfulness of physical deformations, although one writer, writing under the byline A. de. G., and representing a minority, academic view, describes her as a "puny, wilted, sickly, woman; her thin arms rest on an armchair placed in front of her. M. Ingres has rendered in an unheard-of manner these large, veiled eyes, deprived of sight. He has given this face a negative expression that he must have seen in real life, and reproduced it with a sure touch."[27]
The majority of critics noted Ingres' attention to detail in describing her clothes, accessories and decor, and saw an artist at the height of his creativity, with a few invoking the precision of van Eyck.[28] Some writers detected a hint of melancholy in de Broglie's eyes and expression.[8]

How To Make A Wiccan Housewarming Basket
This is a very easy craft that makes a wonderful gift for someone who has moved into a new home. It's an old tradition, and honestly I am unsure of it's originations. However I thought it was a lovely heart-warming idea and wanted to pass it along to you.
The first thing you want to do is to choose a basket that you will present your gifts in. You can get creative with this. I have seen many forms of baskets used from kitchen strainers, to homemade wooden boxes, hat boxes, serving bowls and old fashioned woven baskets. The possibilities are endless. Be sure to cleanse the basket that you choose and consecrate it with positive energy for the new home owner.
You next want to select a loaf of bread. If you are talented in the kitchen you may want to bake your own bread. You may want to add a bit of rosemary to the bread you are baking, perhaps sprinkle some on the top of the bread for additional new home magickal energy. As you knead the dough and bake the bread, infuse the bread with positive energy for the new home owner. If you prefer not to bake, find a bakery near you and select a fresh baked loaf of bread. Charge the bread with your intent when you get home.
Next you want to include a small container of seasalt. You can purchase this from the store, or choose to put it in a small fancy container of your choosing.
You next want to choose a bottle of wine. You may choose a bottle that you know the owners like, or a basic bottle of red would be a nice addition.
Green is a powerful color for blessing a new home. I would add some sprigs of greenery around the basket. Again you can get creative with this. If it's springtime you may wish to nestle the three items on a bed of flowers and greenery.
You want to enclose a note with the basket that says the following:
"For your new home:
bread so that your home may never know hunger,
salt so that life may always have flavor,
and wine so that joy and prosperity fill your home for a lifetime."
You may also add any additional trinkets to the basket that you wish. Some additional ideas and their meanings are:
Broom: So your house will always be clean and free of evil spirits.
Candles: So you always have light through the darkest times.
Coins: So you will receive luck and good fortune.
Honey: So you always enjoy the sweetness of life.
Knives: So your home will always be protected from intruders.
Olive Oil: So you will be blessed with health and well-being.
Plants: So your home will always have life.
Rice: So the love in your home will multiply. (fertility)
Wood: So your home will have stability, harmony, and peace.
Love and Blessings,

text: Meet Najwan, The Rising Producer & Songwriter from L.A. Stephanie Moore January 2, 2018 Artist of the Month, Music 3212 Tweet Share45 Share Email WhatsAppShares 452013 was the year that changed Malik Najwan Alston-Deckard's life. Also known by his stage name, Najwan, Deckard began his music career of production and songwriting in 2013, during his sophomore year at The University of Arizona. By way of Los Angeles, California, Najwan has always had an ear and a gift for music. From listening to his mother play her gospel records to watching his uncle create in his home studio to singing in the church choir, Najwan has experienced throughout the duration of his life thus far. By far one of Najwan's biggest accomplishments is his release of "Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Program," an inclusive 7 track EP produced by Najwan himself featuring artists such as Jay Ward and $treeb. In 2018, you can expect to see Najwan finishing up his album that will be written, performed, and produced by himself! Aspiring musicians looking to make a name for themselves and leave their mark on the music world could utilize ProducerLoops sample packs in their music production and really make the most of resources available to them. Q: What is your full name/stage name? A: My name is Malik Najwan Alston-Deckard but i go by Najwan. Q: How long has music been a part of your life? A: Music has been apart of my life for as long as i can remember. my mom would always play her favorite gospel tunes when i was a kid on the way to school. from elementary school all through high school and would always have the music blasting when she?d clean the house and still to this day. i remember i use to have this storage bin full of CDs and i?d always play my favorite records and put on mini concerts in my room and even make up dance routines. Q: Did you know that you always wanted to do music? A: Early on i really just enjoyed listening to music like most people. i didn't ever think to pursue music as ) career. looking back now, i was pursing it subconsciously i think. my uncle had a home studio step up and had tons of vinyl records and i remember seeing him create. my grandfather had a guesthouse in his backyard and he?d go back there and burn incense, play his records and taught me a bit about playing the drums. i?d also perform in my church holiday plays, singing in the choir and things of that nature. so its always been there, i just hadn?t tapped into it yet. it really wasn?t until 2013. i was a sophomore at the University of Arizona and i started making beats on garageband on my ipad in my dorm room. Q: Where do you currently reside? A: I currently reside in Dallas, TX. i?ve been here for the past two years. i moved here cause i felt like i just needed to get away from all the noise a city like LA brings, all the distractions and focus. i felt that i was relying too much on my friends for my own success and i needed to prove to myself that i could make it happen on my own. and also i thought a change of scenery would be nice. Q: What are some of your best accomplishments from 2017 and how do you plan to make 2018 better? A: I think my biggest accomplishment of 2017 was my EP, by far. putting that together really ignited my confidence and taught me many lessons that were necessary for me to learn. i finally had an official body of work to showcase what i c)n do. i plan to make 2018 better by just building off that project. since releasing it i?ve seen my music level up. my growth has never been more clear to myself. i use to think that whenever i made a beat that i was rocking with heavily, i wouldn?t be able to top it. now it just starting to get easier. that j.cole line from false prophets always pops up in my head – "…i play my old shit knowing i could top it". i pa)n to really put myself out there and make connections with other artists and work on separating myself even more from just being a beatmaker to an actual producer, cause there?s a difference, possibly do a part 2 to the EP. Q: Were there any moments in your life where you had setbacks in your career? How did you overcome these setbacks? A: Oh definitely. when i got serious about making music all i had was my ipad. i literally had no other equipment so i was very limited to what i could create. it was like that for 2years. i?d go to the studio a lot during that time but i wasn?t really creating anything there and of course that can be frustrating. but i kept going and i just tried to be a sponge and absorb everything i was seeing. in 2015 i had finally got a laptop but by then i had kind of given up on the music route and got into film & photography. i did that for all of 2015 until my laptop screen shattered. i ended up moving to dallas in january of 2016 and i put the camera down and told myself that im going push this music even if it hurts. i saved up and got my screen fixed and downloaded the cheapest version of Ableton Live until eventually i saved up enough to get a new laptop and had my boy hook me up with all the bells and whistles, and a year and a half later, i released my EP. Q: How would you describe the growth of your skills, from the time you started until now? A: I can remember the first beat i ever made like it was yesterday, as well as all the ones that followed. not too long ago i was listening to all of my old work and it?s crazy to think about how far i?ve come. it only gets me more excited for how my music will progress a year from now. like i can hear the years put into my music. the progression is so clear to me. Q: How long have you been songwriting? A: I?d say i?ve been songwriting since 11th grade. i was actually inspired by a couple of my friends who had started a rap group and i was trying to join so i started writing my own raps to beats off youtube. i never got the nod to be in the group though. Q: What is the best process, to you, about songwriting? A: I think the best part is when i finally finish the lyrics and say them aloud. knowing i got some fire. Q: Have you written songs for just yourself or other artists as well? A: No i never written anything for anyone else. not because i don?t want to but i just haven?t come across anyone who can?t write their own lyrics or would want help with the lyrics. and then it gets real tricky when it comes to rappers. they get scrutinized if someone else wrote their raps. i never really saw the big deal that. but that?s another conversation. Q: What can you tell us about your latest EP release "Back To Your Regularly Scheduled Program"? A: What can i say about my EP? that it?s an introduction. i?m just scratching the surface with this. but it?s a solid body of work with great artist and great production. it can be streamed on my soundcloud (soundcloud.com/njwn) and it can also be downloaded at najwan.bandcamp.com. i started it sometime in late june, early july and gave myself 6 months to get it done. November 10th i believe was the 6 month deadline and i released it on October 27th. Q: What was the process behind creating this project? A: Well the first track on the EP "What Do You Know" featuring Jay Ward and $treeb was really the birth of the whole project. that was the first beat that i had made for it and i immediately knew i wanted to do a whole project. i had posted a clip of the beat on my snapchat and $treeb hit me up saying he was rocking with it. i sent it to Jay asking if he was messing with it. i let both of them know what i was trying do with the song and pitched my EP to them and if they?d be willing to both hop on it together and they were down. that was pretty much how the whole EP came about. Q: What were your favorite songs to produce on this album? A: I definitely enjoyed making "P?s & Q?s" (https://soundcloud.com/njwn/ps-qs-kadar-prod-najwan) by far. to this day that is still one of my favorite beats all time. it?s in my personal top 3. and shoutout to Kadar on that track. that beat nor him were suppose to be on the EP. I posted a clip of the track on my instagram (instagram.com/funkbrothanaj) and he messaged me with the fire emojis i think, and like that he was on the EP. making "On The Hood" (https://soundcloud.com/njwn/on-the-hood-j-rashad-prod-najwan) was pretty enjoyable too, i made it a priority for it to be on the EP. it ended up being the last song turned in, a week before the day i was planning to release it. Q: What is your favorite piece of equipment to use? A: I think my favorite piece of equipment is also my most important piece which is my laptop. Q: Are you working on any major projects for the upcoming year? A: At the moment im not working on any projects that are a sure thing right now production wise but i do plan on finishing up my album, written performed and produced by myself by winter next year. i got a couple of tracks locked in for it. it doesn?t have a title yet. Q: How would you describe the music that you make? A: I?d say it?s funky. can be a bit unorthodox at times. vibrant. it?s feel good music. and that?s just going off of the music i?ve been making as of late. it?s always been tough for me to describe it because i can do a lot of different things but i have always felt that i'm in my own lane with my sound. Q: Who are some of your musical inspirations? A: Soulection definitely. they got me to pick up my ipad and just start. i?d listen to their radio show everyday like damn, i want to make that cause i love the way it makes me feel. shoutout everyone over there at Soulection. i?d also say Sounwave, in house producer for TDE is also a huge inspiration. Jake One. Hit-Boy. J.Cole and Casey Veggies. Q: What's in your current music rotation? A: My current music rotation has had a lot of Dom Kennedy in it. some J.Cole. Common. Drake. Casey Veggies and my mans Jay Ward. Q: If you could describe the future of your music in one word, how would you describe it? A: Impactful. Q: What advice would you give to those who are working towards being a music producer? A: i?d tell them to know what they?re getting into. i?d want them to understand that you?re not just going to be good over night, take your time and put in the work. and that everyone is not going to like what you like, and that?s okay. Q: What is some ultimate goals for yourself and your career? A: Ultimately i look to make a living for myself and the people i care for through music. i look to one day be a multi-platinum, multi-Grammy nominated, multi-Grammy winning producer. i want to win but i don?t want any of it if my principles and what i stand for are compromised. Q: Who are your inspirations? A: My biggest inspirations are my uncle Taj. my mother Marcia. my girlfriend Madison. my mentor Trevor. my brother Julian. my sis Paris and boy Darius aka 15hunnitboy. each one of them inspires me in a unique way and im truly grateful for all of them. Q: What goals do you hope to achieve in 2018? What are some things you want to accomplish/do in 2018? A: In 2018 i hope to link up and do at least 3 projects with 3 different artist. but even more so, i hope to network like i never have before and come into contact with various artists and creators, bloggers, designers, anyone who is passionate about what they want out of their art and out of their life. and i hope to take another major leap in my music production and to grow a following. and also learn the bass guitar. Q: Is there anything you would like your supporters to know? A: I just want to say thank you to anyone who took the time to read this interview and hopefully i was able to inspire you. i want to thank freelancer magazine for the love. this was my first interview ever and i really appreciated the questions asked, hopefully this time next year we can do it again. and lastly, i just want to say stay tuned cause i got some tricks up my sleeve, ya dig.

'Biden won't take a back seat to no one'.. Except maybe to Iran
(Updated damagingly below)
In a strange supportive mixed-message play at American Jews & Media in the US Biden re-inforced his strong support of Israel, stating that Israeli decisions should be made in Jerusalem, that's certainly sound and appreciated. Oddly, he then went on to trash AIPAC which is not..
[...] The Vice Presidential nominee vowed that the United States will "always standby Israel, without telling Israelis what they can and cannot do."
Biden dismissed the prominent role played by the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC, saying the group "doesn't speak for the entire Jewish community," and it "doesn't speak for the state of Israel, no matter what it insists on any occasion."
The Delaware senator also attacked critics who have questioned his support of Israel saying, "I will take a back seat to no one, and again, no one, in AIPAC or any other organization, in terms of questioning my support of the State of Israel." [...]
Obama Biden Call Shotgun in J-Street front seat?
The new hard left 'Progressive Lobby Group' J-Street seems to have deep ties to the Democrat ticket. Despite being nearly totally unknown, clearly not in Israel's best interest policy wise, and not having anywhere near the support of Jewish Americans compared to AIPAC, if any. But J-Street does have something quite clutch – Obama & Biden fans it seems. It's no wonder why, when you look at the ticket's foreign policy spiel..
[...] Biden also questioned the wisdom of a pre-emptive U.S.-led attack on Iran, at a time when the U.S. is "bogged-down in Iraq," adding that he has been "stunned by the incompetence" of the Bush administration in its handling of the war in Iraq.
Biden also defended his opposition to the The Kyl-Lieberman Iran amendment which called for labeling Iran's Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization and passed by a vote of 76 – 22, saying that he didn't want to help the government find a "pretext for war with Iran", especially in light of what he described as the Bush administration's inept handling of the war in Iraq. [...]
One clearly begins to understand, that there will never be pre-text for striking Iran according to Biden, as taking any sort of action whatsoever even if benign might be interpreted as yet another step towards such a strike, heaven's forbid this is anathema to this ticket and that's fine. American policy should be decided in America. But even the threat of a strike – The single piece of real leverage America has is clearly not in the cards.
Easy come, easy go Israel policy?
It brings in to question how strongly Biden or Obama would really support allied Israel if IT felt it needed to strike in the end, support Israel would need badly. Clearly these two take a backseat in their own words to no one, American Jews or AIPAC included, and certainly not Israel legitimately, which is a foreign sovereign country. But somehow I get the feeling allies will not be riding along in the backseat with these guys, more like in the trunk.
Obama himself has already made his views on The Likud quite clear. Apparently as long as we here in 'Jerusalem' choose to drive on J-Street, choose appeasement, or surrender, and the Meretz Peace platform 'to endanger the state' supported by 1% of our own population, we should be just fine in the buddy department under the New Democrats. Phew!
But what happens if that's not what we decide?
In that case it is very comforting knowing that this ticket disparages AIPAC, the closest American organizational friend Israel has in America, its number one ally in the world. Why did Obama pander to AIPAC in the first place if it's not important? Who was he trying to impress, clearly not Joe Biden. It is also comforting that Obama disparages the Likud, the largest political party representing the largest slice of the Israeli electorate for the last decade in Israel, where Israelis themselves get to 'decide'.
[...] Joe Biden is a strong supporter of the US-Israel relationship," said AIPAC spokesman Josh Block in response to Biden's statements. "He's been a staunch supporter of US aid to Israel, a leader in the fight against Palestinian terrorism and is a vocal advocate of the special relationship between the two democracies," he continued. "We look forward to continuing to work with him in the Senate or the White House," should he win.
"Barack Obama and Joe Biden have both enjoyed close and effective cooperation with AIPAC over many years, grounded in their respect for its important mission to support Israel's security and a strong US-Israel relationship," Obama spokeswoman Wendy Morigi said in a statement released later Wednesday. "That is a mission they share, and they look forward to continuing to work closely with AIPAC on their common goals." [...]
Biden's Big Mouth & Obama's Big Talk
These guys & their 300 policy advisers are baffled as to why they can't secure more of the Jewish vote stateside, is it any wonder? What with them attacking the Likud, AIPAC and preaching the virtues of J-Street? The bigger question might be how they have secured any of the American Jewish vote at all! Both these men are Pro-Israel, but the more they talk the more one wonders which Israel it is they are supporting in this election, the one that is an American ally and depends on the good people of the USA, or the one that will win them the most votes?
UPDATE (HT SD) – Biden should probably ease off, in light of this damaging exchange with Israel's Peace negotiating Prime Minister Begin..
The quotes came out a few days ago but were unsubstantiated, my right word has done some fantastic digging to bring up the relevant facts.
The exchange is between Likud Prime Minister Menachem Begin of Israel, and a younger Senator Joe Biden in 1982 around the time of Operation Peace for the Galilee (Lebanon War I) in which Biden to get his way threatens TO CUT OFF AID TO ISRAEL and is chided in return by Begin for his fair weather friendship..
New York Times, June 24, 1982:
Reporting on his meetings with the members of Congress, Mr. Begin said one of the senators had threatened to cut off aid if Israel continued creating settlements in the West Bank. The senator is reported to have been Joseph R. Biden Jr., Democrat of Delaware,
Mr. Begin cited the incident to give voice to a feeling that is held in his entourage – that Israel has rendered military service to the United States in battle-testing American arms.
"Sir, do not threaten us with cutting aid," Mr. Begin said, in recounting his reply. "First of all, you should know that this is not a one-way street. You help us, and we are very grateful for your help, but this is a two-way street. We do a lot for you."
Indeed, Mr Biden a pro Israel senator may want to ease up on the AIPAC bashing and aid cutting, lest someone like me get the wrong idea and think an Obama/Biden ticket might be a disaster for Israel..
the memeo is on the story now, Rosner who seems to have left the comforts of Haaretz and spread his wings a bit ties into the J-Street theme, while the Huffington Post keeps desperately trying to get the Jews for Jesus meme going and smear Palin, too bad we've already been there and done that, with Obama turning out the loser.

Newborn jumper spider above the silk protection constructed by the mother, the eyes look not completely formed, possibly they born blind, esp the frontal one were very hard to focus, possibly they were below the skin, interesting to compare with the well developed mother eyes and see what they will turn in future. Photo with Canon 7D and Canon MP-e 65mm macro photo @ 5x magnification
Profile of a newborn jumper spider (salticidae) spider I opened a small hole in the silk and this individual is finding his way out of it. The green abdomen fits the green eggs, it's like the face emerge from the eggs but I do not registered this to be sure.
Detail of a single spiderling above the protective silk and with the mother feet as scale. Photo with canon 7D and Canon MP-E 65mm macro photo lens @ 5x plus a crop
The jumper spider mother above the newborn salticidae babies, is possible to note some eggs still closed without spider in them and some with recently born spiderlings.
Unfortunately after 4 days of rain the thing not ended well for the spiderlings, I think the rain trapped them in the web and they died, wonder how many times the weather interfered with the small things life.

Tania's Wordshere is an empty shell- a resonant shadow- waiting

Crock pot dinner gets 2010 off to a great start.
Well, lets face it…I was a bit of a blogging failure in 2009. In fact, I've been a bit of a blogging failure ever since Bloggate 2007 ( I'll explain that one later). Anyway, moving on. If Step One is admitting I have a problem, Step Two must be assigning blame. Now, now, don't you start with your pious, "There is no one to blame but yourself" speeches… I must blame someone, if only because the blame game is so much fun, and I don't really feel like taking the blame myself.
Actually, since it is a new year and all (although generally I don't do the whole new year/resolution/starting over type crap, believing instead that each day is a new opportunity to try again, and commit to being a better person, whatever that may mean to you), I feel the urge to recommit myself. To creative pursuits, to blogging, finishing at least one novel, and of course, being a better person. Mostly this is due to the amazing inspiration of my love, Jenney, whose blog has me in stitches quite often, and who is generally a totally awesome woman.
I defense of, well…myself, I must say that 2009 wasn't a complete letdown in the writing and creativity fronts. I did finish the second edit of my first novel, and began working on the third. I took a giant leap of faith, and began emailing chapters of said novel to friends for advice, critique, and tomato throwing. I also managed, somehow, to complete another 50k NaNo novel this year, in a record 10 days (a success which I owe completely to Maura for egging me on in our strange little competition, and Dan, for letting me hole myself up in the study for hours at a time while he played with Parker).
Anyway, on to 2010. The start of a new decade. I think that some goals are in order. I love lists. Lets face it, who doesn't? The satisfaction of crossing something off of a to do list is pretty awesome. I've been guilty in the past of adding things I've already done to a to do list, just for the satisfaction of crossing it off again and feeling accomplished. Yes, I am that lame.
Ok, so lofty goals for the year
– Finish editing novel #1. Also, re title it. Hate the title. Begin shopping for an editor.
-Write at least one poem. (I wouldn't want to overdo)
-Read every book chosen for The Book Club
-lose the rest of this darn baby weight
– Raise $10,000 in sponsorship for Relay For Life, and for my team, Frankie's Kids, hit our fundraising goal of $1500!
-Begin working on baby #2
-Keep up with my blog
-NaNo 2010…though maybe not in 10 days….
– Read every Jane Austen book (ok, so this is a cheat, since I started this in 2009 and am halfway through the books, but again, I like to know I can cross at least one thing off of a to do list.)
–Make dinner today
All right…I know that I will think of more, but for now, that ought to do. I have a plate full of things I must get working on. At the moment, I am not working on any…well except for the Jane Austen part. I am in the middle of Mansfield Park. Although it is slow going; I'll admit, it's no Pride and Prejudice. But it has it's own charms, and I am enjoying it. Maura and I both want to be through with the Austen's by the end of January (I think), which means that in a few weeks I may be crossing at least one thing off of my list. Wonderful.
Plus, in recent and stupendous news, I already made dinner- that is I threw lots of canned goods and some frozen chicken into the crock pot. Yay, I get to cross something off of my list! The year is off to a roaring start!
Persephone, Emily Dickenson, and all that poetic jazz.
I have found that in the last year, year and a half, I have let my creative muscle go completely unused. I know there are several good and not so good reasons for this. However, now that I am wanting to use it again, I find myself frustrated. I tried to write a poem the other night which, honestly, kind of sucked.
Do you remember when you were in high school lit class and your teacher would just jabber on and on about Emily Dickenson and the metaphor for death in this or that poem? After class you'd congregate with your friends and roll your eyes, so wise, knowing that there was no way Dickenson really meant to infuse that poem with so much extra stuff.
Wait was that just my school?
When I went off to college, and was privileged enough to get to work with Diane Wakoski for three wonderful, if not brutal semesters of poetry writing, I was surprised to learn just how wrong I was. While I am forever grateful to Diane for teaching me that the best poetry isn't just pretty words (in fact, quite often they are not pretty words at all), but that good poetry is like great irony- saying one thing when you are meaning something else.
The second semester I was in Diane's class, I wrote a poem about a woman (a specific woman, if you care, although I'd rather not name names) whose daughter is only just starting to realize that there is something very wrong with her mother, even though she doesn't know quite what that is yet. Originally, the poem was pretty much a straightforward story, descriptive and almost prosy. Really it only had a few salvageable lines in the whole thing. The problem was that I was trying to write about something using words when there really weren't any words to explain what had happened to this young girl. At that moment in time, she didn't really know what was wrong, or that anything was wrong. She just felt something. She saw something in her mother that tripped a kind of inner switch. No one else saw what she did at that moment, and no one else felt it. But she did and it stayed with her into adulthood. As an adult, she knew and could tell me that what was wrong was that her mother was an alcoholic, and bipolar. But that's a story, not a poem. The poem I was trying to write was capturing that moment.
Anyway, I left that poem for a long time. Maybe four or five years. Until one day, completely randomly, I ran into a story about Persephone. Keep in mind that I had completely forgotten that the original poem existed at this point. So I was interested enough in this story to do some research (I am woefully ignorant when it comes to this mythology stuff). I started to kind of see this woman's disorders differently. In another life, would she have ended up in the same place? Would she have chosen the life she ended up leading? I started to see her as a kind of Persephone, who was bound to Hades for the majority of her life, able to leave only for a short period of time, all because some guy forced her to eat some pomegranate seeds. Guys can be so lame.
Ok, so it isn't exactly the same. Still, I could see how this girl's mother would never have chosen the life she ended up leading. I knew her daughter well enough to know that her mother tried, time and again to sober up, to clean up her life. But her life was inextricably mixed up with the alcoholism. It was as if she too, had eaten the pomegranate seeds, and therefore, would never really be able to leave Hades.
So one night, when I was supposed to be sleeping, I was instead kept awake by all of these thoughts. The next day I sat down and spent hours pounding out what has become my favourite poem to date. While I am sure that will change as time goes by (and if it doesn't, how sad would that be?).
Anyway, I wanted to write about this because poetry, and the art of poetry has been on my mind for a little while now. As I try to get back to a creative and poetic kind of mental state, it is important to remind myself that I won't get it right the first time, or second, maybe even the third. But also, I wanted to remind myself that it is hard for a reason. If it was just pretty words on a piece of paper, anyone could do it. As it is, I am still not sure that I can do it. Knowing though, how much it takes, and how hard it is, helps. To me, the art of poetry is the ability to say something true, something important, without saying it directly, because a lot of time, the direct words are the ones that clutter up the true emotion behind the statement. They make it prosy, or over dramatic, cliched or trite. A good poem will get right at the intuition behind it, even if you don't see it right away. So, to answer my naive 17 year old self, Yes. Emily Dickenson did indeed intend to put all that in there.
On why sleep is the anti-craft.
I must have stored a lot up in this lil' head of mine because last night I could not sleep- I felt as though I was mentally blogging for hours. It was like a switch I could not flip off. This is lame (yes lame) because not only is sleep a rare and precious commodity in my life at the moment, but also because I don't remember any of it now. Do you ever wish you had some sort of recording system in your bedroom at night? I often find myself half awake, thinking through a poem that has been nagging at me, tweaking the potential plot of a novel I wish to write, or blogging away. Of course I am much too tired to get up and write any of it down, and come morning- Poof! Gone. Or mostly gone.
As the poet who has not stopped chasing the perfect poetic moment, this is frustrating. The times when I have actually gotten my self out of bed to write whatever it is I have been mulling over, it never comes out quite right, or just the way I was thinking it. This is why I propose the development of some sort of high tech psychic recording device. As you are lulled to sleep by your internal dialogue, just press the button next to your bed and it will all be recorded for you. Of course, the implications of any kind of device that can record or read your thoughts are far to frightening to seriously contemplate. But still. I'm staking my claim in this idea. Along with my theory that new mothers should receive mainline IV's which supply them with a constant supply of caffeine. Maybe then I wouldn't have to support this Diet Coke habit. Think how much formula and how many diapers I could purchase with the leftover money.
As is only natural, I have the feeling I'll be in here a lot in the next few days- I haven't blogged since April of 2008, so there is a lot stored up in here. After a while I am sure I'll slow down. I hope this won't become tiresome. There are so many things I feel like I have to say. I love my son completely, but the majority of my day is spent talking to a darling 13 lb bundle of joy whose repertoire consists of "ahhh", "baaa" and a strange noise characterized by squeals and growls which has no real phonetic counterpart. After a while, one starts to seriously long for adult conversation. And if one is me, this longing often translates into an ongoing internal monologue. Forgive me if I feel the need to share this internal monologue several times a day.
I've added some new blogs to my blog roll today- Kudos to Roz for getting me thinking about New Year's Resolutions. I am not a resolution girl. I've always just tried to promise myself to be the best person I could, and to never stop growing and learning. That is not to say that I don't make, set and occasionally accomplish goals for myself. It is more that new goals are constantly occurring to me, and I prefer to set my mind to working on them as they come to me. For example, after I had the baby, I decided I would try to lose the massive amounts of baby weight I gained by Parker's first birthday. In December, after some honest self-reflection, I realized I needed to do some serious work in forgiving myself for mistakes I have made. Other things that have occurred to me recently- I'd like to read and write more poetry than I have been, and I would really like to attend some sort of creative workshop this year. We will see how that goes though. I wonder, if, in the end, it all amounts to the same thing. As evolving, growing people, don't self evaluation and the promise to do something better/different/new amount to nothing more than a resolution to change? Does it matter what time of the year this revelation falls at?

Awarded this 6th day of February, 2010
This honor is extended as the department's highest achievement award for contributions to the development of the fire service in Campbell County. The Walk of Fame exemplifies the attributes of a firefighter who unselfishly gives of her/ his time and talents to the community.
The Campbell county fire department proudly bestows on Galen Lee its 2008 Walk of Fame award. To date, Galen has donated 28 years of meritorious service to his Campbell County friends and neighbors, and presently he shows no sign of slowing down. Galen's quiet and calm demeanor belies his fierce determination and undying pride of the entire CCFD organization. In his 28 years of service, he helped to assemble the fire department that today provides emergency services to an ever-growing number of citizens.
Before he officially became a firefighter, Galen Lee and neighbors often responded to fires in the Nickelson's Little Farms area. They made up for the lack of equipment with sheer fortitude, and the entire neighborhood came to depend on them in their times of need. In the 1980s, Galen hosted at his residence a 1960s-era Dodge Forest Service wildland truck prior to the construction of Fire Station Ten. Galen was instrumental in the formation of the fire station at Nickelson's Little Farms in 1981 and he later lobbied for a Mutual Aid agreement between the fire department and emergency medical services. Since that time, he has served 18 years in several positions including Volunteer Chief, Assistant Chief, Battalion Chief, and Captain. In addition, he has contributed thousands of hours to the organization serving on the membership committee and participating on the CCFD Honor Guard.
Galen Lee is hereby awarded the Campbell County Fire Department Walk Of Fame award in recognition of his unwavering support and 28 years of service. Galen exemplifies the true spirit of a volunteer firefighter, team player, friend and dedicated community servant. His actions serve as an example to fellow firefighters keeping with the highest traditions of the Campbell County Fire Department.

From employees to
workplace consumers
Conventional lean office spaces with fixed desks and basic services are rapidly becoming a thing of the past. In the near future, workers will likely become "workplace consumers" who are in control of where, how and when they work.
Real estate developers are shifting their focus to adaptive, agile facilities that prioritize and respond to employee needs. Such facilities fluidly integrate new technologies to foster collaboration and co-creation, enhance employee comfort and productivity, keep remote workers connected to company culture, and support sustainable business practices.
the open office
Hot-desking and open-plan offices are becoming ever more common. Employers favor open-plan offices for the efficient and flexible use of space. Employees enjoy being able to work anywhere, any time, but often miss having their own personal workspaces.
Dynamic LED lighting and connected lighting systems can help businesses ensure that their open office spaces support employee productivity, comfort, and well-being.
With indoor positioning in place, connected lighting applications afford a whole range of location-based services, accessible to workers via smartphone apps. Examples include personalization of light above desks even in open-plan spaces, wayfinding, "frictionless" access control for frequent visitors, and real-time room reservations.
In the last four to five years, we've all been focusing on sustainability and the impact technology has in an
office ... Now there's a real focus on trying to maximize human potential, performance, and productivity."

A commercial delivery is a business with 8-5 hours and equipment to unload a tractor trailer truck. Job sites, churches & remote locations are not considered commercial addresses. (Fedex Freight does consider a farm commercial). Commercial carriers will not always call ahead to tell you when a delivery will be made. If you would like the commercial rate, but do not meet the requirements for a commercial delivery you can pickup your shipment from the local freight terminal where they will help you load.
A residential delivery still assumes you have the ability to unload the shipment from a 4' high tractor trailer truck. If you require a lift gate to lower the shipment to the ground an additional $50-125 charge applies for the carrier to send a truck with a lift gate to lower the crate.
