Former London Welsh prop Franck Montanella has joined the Newcastle Falcons on a two-year deal.
The 31-year-old, who earned one cap for France in 2007, began his career at RC Narbonne in 2001 before going on represent a number of clubs, including Stade Francais where he spent two seasons.
Montanella was a standout performer for the Exiles last season, and Falcons director of rugby Dean Richards is understandably happy to have him in the North East.
"He's a solid scrummager and he brings a lot of experience to the club having played in the French leagues where it can be a hostile environment for props to play their rugby," Richards told Newcastle's official website.
"I'm delighted to have him on board and I'm looking forward to working with him this season."
Montanella admits he's delighted to have secured his stay in the Aviva Premiership for another season.
"Newcastle Falcons has a great reputation in the game, and I can't wait to join up with my new teammates," he said.
"There is a superb coaching set-up at Newcastle with Dean Richards in charge, and after a good experience with London Welsh I'm delighted to be back playing in the Aviva Premiership this season."

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Beyond polar bears
WAG exhibition shows Inuit art is a lot more than shiny soapstone carvings aimed at tourist trade
Before there was Inuit art, there were "Eskimo carvings."
That is, long before Nunavut sculptor Jamasie Pitseolak began turning the colourful stone of Baffin Island into motorcycles, guitars and high-heeled shoes, his ancestors were using their carving skills to craft weapons and tools.
The nomadic Arctic lifestyle didn't exactly lend itself to esthetic trappings or adornment. Occasionally, however, the Inuit would carve little figurines from the ivory of walrus tusks to give to missionaries, fur traders, military personnel and other visitors to the North as souvenirs.
"Carving was always part of their culture, but it wasn't an art-producing culture because they were rather concerned with survival," says Darlene Coward Wight, who has researched and curated Inuit art for more than 30 years, and travelled to many northern communities.
The carving culture changed in 1948 when a young artist named James Houston travelled to the Canadian Arctic and fell in love with the stone carvings he was given while visiting the village of Inukjuak in northern Quebec. Back home in Montreal, he showed them to members of the Canadian Handicrafts Guild, along with an offer to return to the Arctic to acquire more carvings.
In November 1949, the guild -- now the Canadian Guild of Crafts -- held the first Inuit art show and sale. The "primitive and exotic" nature of the works fascinated the public, and an art form was born -- along with an artistic industry that would transform the lives of many Inuit.
As much as some people like to romanticize it as an ancient form of creative expression, "Inuit art has its genesis in economic necessity," Coward Wight writes in Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art. The new coffee-table book, which contains 150 colour images, serves as the catalogue for a Winnipeg Art Gallery exhibition by the same name that opened Jan. 25 and runs until April 14.
Inuit art was "prompted," she says, by the Hudson's Bay Company's trading posts and Inuit-owned arts and crafts co-operatives set up by the federal government as a way to integrate Inuit into Canada's cash economy after the Second World War forced them to give up their nomadic lifestyle and settle in small communities. When the white fox population, the backbone of the Inuit economy, became scarce, Inuit art emerged as a commodity and a cultural identifier.
"There was a whole systemic exporting industry that developed in the '50s," says Coward Wight, the WAG's curator of Inuit art since 1986.
By 1954, all carvings were being purchased by Hudson's Bay Company trading posts; half were shipped to the Canadian Handicrafts Guild in Montreal and the other half to Hudson's Bay's Winnipeg headquarters.
(It wasn't until 1977, when the Department of Indian and Northern Development and the National Museum of Man organized a major touring exhibition titled The Inuit Print that the term "Inuit" replaced "Eskimo," which is now considered offensive outside of Alaska.)
Canada's first Inuit art exhibition in 1949 was an unsung event that didn't garner a single newspaper review, Coward Wight notes her in her book. But by the end of 1956, sculptures from the northern Quebec communities of Inukjuak, Puvirnituq and Salluit and Cape Dorset, in present-day Nunavut, were showcased in nearly 40 major galleries and museums across North America and Europe.
The Winnipeg Art Gallery displayed Inuit sculpture for the first time in December 1953 and started its collection in 1957. Today, the WAG is home to the world's largest public collection of Inuit art -- more than 11,000 works, including about 7,100 sculptures.
Inuit art makes up nearly half of the WAG's entire collection.
The Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit exhibition will feature 115 pieces -- sculptures, prints, drawings, textiles, ceramics and clay -- that chart the genesis and evolution of contemporary Inuit art from its inception to the present day.
"We're now into the third generation of artists who never lived off the land. Their lifestyle is very much community-based," says Coward Wight.
Featured artist Jamasie Pitseolak, for instance, the son of carvers Oopik Pitseolak and Mark Pitseolak, belongs to the first generation of Inuit who grew up in permanent, year-round settlements. Trained as a plumber in Edmonton, he started carving seriously in the mid-1990s and "specializes in the minutiae of contemporary settlement life, including guitars, sewing machines, automobiles, shoes, tennis rackets, skateboards and motorcycles," according to his bio. "Inspiration comes from television, movies, magazines, current events and from childhood memories."
Traditional carvers from the early 1950s, such Johnny Inukpuk, whose mostly female subjects are notable for their unusually large heads and hands, represent other defining moments in the show's six-decade timeline.
Of course, as visitors to the Creation and Transformation exhibition will see, Inuit art encompasses so much more than the shiny green soapstone sculptures of polar bears and hunters wielding ivory harpoons that are popular in the tourist market.
The 1970s were a period of expansion and diversification, notes Coward Wight, particularly for printmaking and textile arts. Fabric wall hangings emerged as a significant new art form. Meanwhile, a young Taloyoak artist named Karoo Ashevak took traditional whale-bone sculpture in a new expressionistic direction.
It wasn't until the 1990s that gallery owners in major urban centres started to develop direct working relationships with Inuit artists instead of just obtaining artworks through Arctic co-operatives. Worlds opened up, literally and artistically, as travel became easier and younger artists -- many of them English-speaking or bilingual -- began to make use of improved telecommunications and Internet capabilities. That decade, of course, ended with the creation of the Territory of Nunavut, the first major change to Canada's political map since the incorporation of Newfoundland as a province in 1949.
Today, as Coward Wight writes in her book, "the unprecedented inclusion of Inuit art in international exhibitions, biennales and art fairs has broken down barriers between previously exclusive art worlds."
For the uninitiated, she says, the WAG exhibition, taking place during the gallery's centennial year, will be a wonderful introduction to the complexity of creative expression in the Arctic.
"People see Inuit art at the airport and in gift shops and they come away with the idea that it all looks the same," says Coward Wight. "But there's a huge variety of artistic expression and it differs from community to community and from artist to artist."
Huge collection
-- The WAG's Inuit art collection contains more than 11,000 works, including about 7,100 sculptures. It is the world's largest public collection.
-- Since 1964, the WAG has organized 166 exhibitions featuring works by Inuit artists and hosted 22 shows organized by other museums and galleries.
-- In 1977, a major touring exhibition, The Inuit Print, organized by the Department of Indian and Northern Development and the
National Museum of Man marked the first high-profile use of the term "Inuit" instead of "Eskimo." The latter is now considered offensive.
-- On Oct. 17, 2012, Darlene Coward Wight, curator of Inuit art at the Winnipeg Art Gallery since 1986, received an honorary doctorate of letters from the University of Manitoba in recognition of her "tireless dedication to preserve, promote and celebrate art by Canada's Inuit."
Her coffee-table book, Creation and Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art, which includes essays by art historians, is available at the WAG shop.
Plans are in the works to build an Inuit Art and Learning Centre to be connected to the WAG and built on the site of its studio building. Ground is expected to break on the 40,000-square-foot, $45-million centre in 2014.
-- Members of the Manitoba Urban Inuit Association are building two igloos, or "iglus," on the WAG rooftop, next to an inukshuk by Nunavut-born artist Manasie Akpaliapik, to coincide with the exhibition Creation & Transformation: Defining Moments in Inuit Art. The icy structures are approximately three metres wide and two metres tall.
Inuit Film Night -- Jan. 26, 7 p.m. (free admission)
Tunniit: Retracing the Lines of Inuit Tattoos is a documentary by Aletha Arnaquq-Baril about her journey to explore the lost tradition of Inuit facial tattoos before getting tattooed herself. The screening will be followed by a Q&A.

Reading a person's thoughts, implanting machinery into man, and augmenting our neural processing powers with cognitive enhancers are all matters of neuroethics. They bring us face to face with questions about who has access to powerful new technologies and for what purposes.
Read Whole Story
As science makes a reality of what has been science fiction, we will face questions of how to best apply neurotechnologies. Should they be limited to helping those who have illnesses? Or should they bolster the performance of a wartime soldier, enable a C student to get As, or supercharge CEOs?

And then later, when I try to turn it on, to my horror it would be green light for 30 secs. or so and then it won't turn on! So I start to panic and then I remembered I have a warranty, oh boy. On top of that, the downgrader comes out tomorrow in case I get a 1.52 or something.

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION Boasting a ruby hue and an exquisite floral aroma, Red Nectar is a robust yet elegant brew with distinctive accents of toasted malt, caramel, spice and residual sweetness. The beer that started it all Red Nectar was considered a strange bird when it was first released in 1987. After all, where did a robust, handcrafted all-natural amber ale fit into the massive flock of American industrial lagers? Answer: it didnt. So it blazed its own trail, helping set the pace for the craft brew revolution. Enjoy Red Nectar for its dazzling reddish copper hue, original flavors and caramel spice accents. (Editors Note: originally brewed by Humboldt Brewing Company as "Humboldt Red Nectar Ale" until their acquisition by Firestone Walker.)

It's safe to say there might not be a happier Division II college football coach in the country today than Lake Erie's Mark McNellie.
South graduate and former University of Akron quarterback Patrick Nicely has transferred to Lake Erie and will be eligible to play for the Storm this fall, McNellie confirmed on Friday. Nicely will be a senior for the 2012 season.
Under NCAA rules, as a transfer, Nicely would have had to sit out a year had he decided on another Football Bowl Subdivision school. A player who transfers to a school a division lower can play immediately.
McNellie said Nicely, 6-foot-3, 232 pounds, hasn't been guaranteed a starting position, but will be given the opportunity to win the No. 1 spot in preseason camp. The LEC coach was aware of Nicely's talent back to his South days and when the QB decided to leave Akron, McNellie and Co. reached out immediately.
"It was just a matter of him knowing we were interested, and things fell into place," said McNellie.
Nicely, who was granted his release from Akron after the spring semester, said he considered other schools but was impressed with McNellie and the chance to play immediately from the start.
"It was a big part of my decision," said Nicely of not having to sit out a season. "I experienced playing early on (at Akron) and I wanted to play. The thing for me is life after football and getting my degree and I have that opportunity at Lake Erie, plus play a little more football."
The timing couldn't be better for the Storm, coming off a 3-8 campaign in 2011 in which four-year starter at QB Sean Bedevelsky graduated.
"He's a veteran, he knows what's going on," McNellie said. "He's not going to be a green-behind-the-ears freshman. He's going to be a guy who's battle-ready, and step in and hopefully be a bridge between our young quarterbacks. I like his make-up, I like his personality and I like the fact he's eager to compete for the job."
Nicely played three seasons at the Akron. As a true freshman, he was forced into action after injuries depleted the QB position. After a year-and-a-half, and 19 starts, he lost his starting spot last season as a junior. The last two seasons, Akron was 2-22.
"After three years at Akron, I'm craving wins more than putting up numbers," said Nicely. "I just want to help the team win. I want to be one of the guys, make friends and create a good college experience."
Nicely finished his Zips' career with 3,358 passing yards and 16 touchdown passes, but brings plenty of experience to Lake Erie.
"After meeting with him and talking to him face to face, he's got the right outlook, he's the right kind of person," said McNellie. "I've stayed away from the transfer game because I usually don't want to bring in someone else's problems. But Patrick's been nothing but the opposite of that."

The Joint Committee on Human Rights (JCHR) today publishes a Report on the Defamation Bill, ahead of the Bill's Committee stage in the House of Lords on 17 December
One of the Bill's main provisions is the introduction of a statutory defence for responsible publication in the public interest, which would put in place a checklist of factors for consideration by the court. The Committee considers the proposed defence to be inflexible, and thinks that it would both fail to rebalance the law of defamation in favour of freedom of speech and perpetuate existing problems. The Committee recommends that the checklist be abandoned in favour of a clear, unambiguous defence of public interest, which gives proper consideration to editorial judgment. The Committee therefore suggests an alternative formulation which would use a test of "reasonable belief that the publication was in the public interest", that it believes will provide greater clarity and flexibility.
The Committee is concerned that another proposed defence for website operators - available where they do not author content and either facilitate contact with the author or remove material where they cannot establish contact - could create a 'chilling effect' for material online. It recommends that the threshold for such material be raised from defamatory to unlawful to protect against that threat. (A defamatory statement if one that damages the reputation of an identifiable person or company. It is only unlawful, though, if there are no defences that can be made against a claim for defamation, such as if the statement is true or if there is a public interest that the information should be published and the publisher has acted responsibly in testing the truthfulness of it). As the obligation to remove material could put universities and colleges in a position of potential conflict, because of their duties to protect freedom of speech, the Committee also recommends that there should be statutory guidance to help educational institutions decide what they should do.
The Committee also
Dr Hywel Francis MP, the Chair of the Committee, said:
"The Bill is a timely response to a pressing issue, and we welcome the Government's recognition of the need for more protection for those publishing in the public interest. However, we are not convinced that the Bill's proposed public interest defence does that effectively. We propose an alternative that is both clearer and more flexible. This would help to ensure that the Bill fulfils its main aim of rebalancing the law of defamation in favour of freedom of speech.
We are also glad to see steps taken to protect website operators who are merely hosting content. But as drafted the Bill could have a chilling effect on those publishing material online. If we are to protect against that threat, there should be a higher threshold put in place before material has to be removed, and statutory guidance for educational institutions that makes clear the importance of freedom of speech."

News today that meh will be added to the 30th anniversary edition of the Collins Dictionary. It will be defined as "an expression of indifference or boredom, or an adjective meaning mediocre or boring" and is attributed to Bart and Lisa Simpson (of The Simpsons).
The following may be old news to some (admittedly I heard of it a little while ago, but only found a good link today), but better late than never. Which is very appropriate, actually: The Collins Dictionary is trying to revive endangered English words, which are threatened with being culled from the next edition of the dictionary. A sample of words, taken from the Age article:
abstergent: cleansing or scouring;
agrestic: rural, rustic, unpolished, uncouth;
apodeictic: unquestionably true by virtue of demonstration;
caducity: perishableness, senility;
calignosity: dimness, darkness;
embrangle: to confuse or entangle;
exuviate: to shed (a skin or similar outer covering);
fatidical: prophetic;
griseous: streaked or mixed with grey;
somewhat grey;
malison: a curse;
mansuetude: gentleness, mildness;
niddering: cowardly;
nitid: bright, glistening;
olid: foul-smelling;
oppugnant: combative, antagonistic or contrary;
periapt: a charm or amulet;
recrement: waste matter; refuse; dross;
roborant: tending to fortify or increase strength;
vaticinate: to foretell; prophecy;
vilipend: to treat or regard with contempt.
Funnily (and fore-bodingly) enough, each of these words comes up as a 'spelling mistake' in my browser as I compose this!
The Collins people have started a campaign to increase the use of these words, so as to justify not giving them the heave-ho come editing time. Apparently celebrities have been engaged to 'adopt' a word, and start using it as much as possible, so it might catch on. Like fetch in Mean Girls, perhaps...

Many of these words have French relatives that I take to be fairly common, at least in literary French. - 7:24 am

But then, the French have always been more sophisticated! Maybe Collins should get some French celebrities to further the cause? :-)

FAQs for Students
If I have a good idea who do I contact?
What happens next?
Who owns the IP generated by DIT Staff and Students?
How do I know if I have created novel IP?
What is IP disclosure?
What is a patent?
What are the other forms of IP protection?
How would I carry out a patent search?
What should a member of staff, researcher or student do to engage in protecting and commercialising IP?
Can I publish and still patent?
Can I publish after I file a patent?
If I have a good idea who do I contact?
If you have a good idea/invention contact Tom Flanagan, Head of Commercialisation - DIT Hothouse, at email@example.com or Dermot Tierney, Senior Licensing Executive - DIT Hothouse, at email@example.com.
What happens next?
Hothouse (Tom or Dermot) will meet with you, and assess the idea/invention. If the idea/invention looks to have commercial potential, we will help you fill out a disclosure form. This helps us to more fully understand the idea/invention and evaluate its commercial merit in more detail.
If after further consideration the idea/invention still looks promising, we will help you to protect and commercialise it i.e. we will help you patent the idea, approach suitable companies on your behalf and work toward securing one or more commercial licenses for your technology.
If not, we will offer advice on what you can do to strengthen the idea/invention and how you might best proceed.
Who owns the IP generated by DIT Staff and Students?
Unlike most other Universities, at DIT you (staff or student) own the IP if you created it. The only exception to this is where 1) there are contracts with sponsors that require IP assignment, 2) DIT Resources were used in the creation of the IP, or 3) administrative materials were developed for DIT.
The creator is therefore free to commercialise his/her IP as they see fit. However, if you decide to come to Hothouse for help, you will have to assign your IP to DIT. This is necessary as DIT must take ownership in order to engage with funding agencies and industry. Don't worry though. Once DIT owns the IP, we work on your behalf to commercialise the IP and any revenues derived are shared with the creator more favourably than would be the case with most other Universities/Institutions. As the creator, you can also request the return of your IP rights i.e. "re-assignment", should you wish to do so. Please see our IP policy section for more details.
How do I know if I have created novel IP?
IP is novel if it is not in the public domain i.e. has not previously been revealed publicly. It might involve a product, process, application, or even be software. However, for the IP to be patentable, it must show an inventive step, be non-obvious to somebody knowledgeable in the area and have an industrial application.
If you think you may have created IP, please contact a member of the Hothouse team prior to disclosing it publicly e.g. publishing a paper, presenting a poster, putting it up on a webpage etc. If an idea/invention is not suitably protected before you reveal it publicly, then it will not be patentable.
What is IP disclosure?
Disclosure refers to any public presentation, whether oral or written, including publications, conference abstract and presentations to a group outside the immediate research group.
What is a patent?
A patent is a contract between the inventor of the patented invention and the State, whereby the inventor gets a monopoly from the State for a certain period in return for disclosing full details of the invention. Patents protect the technical and functional aspects of products and processes.
A patent gives the applicant/inventor the right to exclude others from exploiting (making, using, selling, importing) the patented invention except with the consent of the applicant.
- The owner of a patent is any company or body registered as the proprietor. For example if an invention is made by an employee, the employer will typically be the owner/proprietor (unlike many other companies and institutions, this is not the default position at DIT).
- A patent is a form of industrial property that can be bought, sold, licensed or used by the owner.
- A patent lasts for 20 years from the date of filing the application. The Irish patent office also offers short-term patents which are used to protect smaller inventions and may be granted more rapidly however they provide protection for only 10 years.
What are the other forms of IP protection?
Protection of IP can be sought in a variety of ways, including patents, copyright, design rights and trademark. Patenting is the most typical method used in Third Level Institutes. We can advise on the most appropriate means of protection for your IP.
How would I carry out a patent search?
Patent searches can be carried out free of charge on the EPO (European Patent Office) website at http://ep.espacenet.com/ using relevant key words in the searches.
What should a member of staff, researcher or student do to engage in protecting and commercialising IP?
It is very simple; if you think that you have an idea (usually technical) or research results that may have commercial advantage (with or without further development), visit the Hothouse Transfer Technology Office in DIT Aungier Street.
If the research or idea warrants patenting, Hothouse will assist in researching the patent literature for prior art, investigate patent funding possibilities and initiate and progress a commercial development plan with the staff member or student. To fund a patent application, Hothouse typically engages with Enterprise Ireland and relevant Patent Agents, using the Intellectual Property Protection Fund for the Higher Education Sector or its current equivalent.
Can I publish and still patent?
You can publish after you file a patent application. If the content is published to anyone who is not under a non disclosure agreement then it cannot be patented. This means that you cannot share the content with persons outside DIT including external supervisors who are not under a non disclosure agreement or present a poster session, or seminar or at a conference or provide an abstract to a publisher until the filing is done. Typically, filing a patent application takes 4-6 weeks so can easily be done in advance of publishing and does not delay publishing unduly.
Can I publish after I file a patent?
Yes you can publish after you file a patent and reference that a patent is filed. It is important not to publish or disclose additional modifications that you may later want to add to the patent. You can add modifications and enhance the patent filing within the first year.

raining in paradise
By Lisandra Santiago
I knew what was gonna happen here, the sky was fairly clear on the horizon where the sun was but the sky right above me had a huge rain cloud ready to burst. So i decided to wait it out and see if I could make the water drops pop with the light of the sunset. I stopped it down with the DOF preview right to the point where everything was acceptably in focus and when it started I simply framed, pointed, and shot.

CORREA, Doris. Developing Academic Literacy and Voice: Challenges Faced by A Mature esl Student and Her Instructors. profile [online]. 2010, vol.12, n.1, pp. 79-94. ISSN 1657-0790.
Drawing on critical, socio-cultural and sociolinguistic theories of writing, text and voice, this ethnographic study examines the challenges that a mature ESL student and her instructors in a university course on Spanish Language Media face as they co-construct a common understanding of academic literacy and voice in an undergraduate General Studies Program offered by a university in Western Massachusetts. Intertextual analysis of the data suggests that traditional product-based approaches to helping students develop academic literacy might not be very effective. However, to be able to take a different approach, such as the one suggested by genre scholars, both faculty teaching content subjects and writing tutors would need appropriate training.

I personally think it is way, way to strong and over powering, its smells like pepper spray to me. The bottles are pretty though
Just got an order in today. Ordered some purse sprays for 5.99 ea. Good deal, right? Now some I liked from the samples and some (like the Imari) were to be a surprise. So.......the Imari...........three words.......man's after shave. Horrible. This is not a second cousin to Opium. Ack!....nooo way. To compare is an insult. Just plain ol' grandpa's after shave, and not a good one.
This is one of the classic perfumes (chanel, charlie, vanilla fields category) but its smells so pretty and timeless. Whenever I dress up really glamourous I get compliments that I smell beautiful. This perfume is ladylike and very grownup. Its too heavy for daytime and summertime because it smells a lil like "old lady perfume" no offense. But this is very classic no matter if you are 18 or 80. People get headaches because this perfume is strong and they spray too much.
2 out of 3 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I prefer the Imari skin softener lotion to the perfume itself. I love the sexy musk smell of it. I usually like fruity perfumes, but this one makes me feel sexy. It's very good for a pick me up at the end of the day too :)
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Soft, musky and powdery. If I wanted a powdery smell I'd wear baby powder instead. (I don't wear it, but I love baby powder smell!) Gave me a headache. I find the packaging ugly. I would never buy again.
Update: My Mum and I visited a 2nd hand charity clothing store and she said "Why do these stores always smell like that cheap Avon Imari Perfume? Its very off putting"!
This is *meh* for me most days, OK at best. I am beginning to develop a strong dislike for most Avon scents and that powdery thing they have going on. Good thing I got mine on sale, and then only a small bottle! I am quite certain now that I will never purchase Imari ever again, in any form or at any price. I wouldn't even take it for free - the space on my fragrance shelves is getting rather limited to tie it up with something that I don't really dig. Onward and Upward!
I cant stand this perfume. The smell gives me a headache and makes me nausues. It smells kind of like an old lady perfume.
I purchased the Imari shower gel, lotion, and powder after getting a catalog with one of those scratchNsniff spots for it. In the catalog it smelled wonderful, rich and sensuous.
In person it's a whole nother story.
As a child I remember being parked next to any number of heavy set, huge bosomed, heavily perfumed women during church while my mom played the organ and my dad preached. Once on my skin, Imari immediately transported me back to those days of falling asleep in church, my head in the aforementioned lady's ample lap, the overpowering scent of her perfume filling my head. Suddenly I was the old church lady! I smelled just like her! Gah! Heavy and cloying, with an odd undernote that is vaguely chemical.. like bathroom cleaner.
HOWEVER, after about a half hour the ugly wore off and I was left with a lovely scent that was rich, spicy and sensuous, just like the catalog scent had been.
I do like Imari now, though that first half hour is best spent at home letting it breathe down a notch. I doubt I will be buying it again even if they put it on sale.

Some things are sadly poetic
Like the cougar whose boyfriend
Won't come back outside and she's alone
At the only table in the cold
smoking a pall mall,
Having a beer.
Some things are refreshingly poetic
like leaving the office for a bit with the boss
and going somewhere
where there are domes made of pure gold
and priests who pour milk on them from
Some things are interestingly poetic;
like the poet, turned novelist, turned artist,
who does landscaping to cover the spread.
Some things are courageously and nostalgically
And hurtfully poetic,
Like not seeing your family for nine years
Because the money's good where you're at,
And plane tickets and passports are outrageous.
Some things should not be
poetic, but they are, because they are truthful
And that is verse;
like the waitress who was raped
when she cashed her check at a grocery store
after the night shift
and she wasn't the only one in her car
when she got back.
Some things are poetry because they come
Into this world quietly
And bleeding internally,
and yet they survive
Even though their lungs are full of fluid,
And they can barely breathe.
Some things are poetry because they happened
And nothing can change that.
And because
Poetry is
unchangeable, immovable, and
grotesque, beautiful, uncomfortable, calming,
disfiguring, life-giving, fucked up,
Possibly shitty, possibly a nectar
That God
or whoever the fuck
allowed to be put on paper,
Possibly a way to talk about pain,
Possibly roided up with someone else's words,
Possibly a way to talk about
the pure dream of a girl's body
Poetry is love in the worst
and most unimaginable ways.

Poor excuse of a hotel! Not a 2013 #1 Choice hotel
Posted Dec 1, 2013Pros: Location was good. Quick on and off the freeway. Breakfast was pretty good.
Cons: See above comments!!!!!!!
Location: Easy on and off Freeway. Not far from many places to eat and some shopping available also
There were many issues during our two night stay. Slow drain in the sink, no hot water on the second morning, cob webbs (many) in the room, there were electrical problems in the room. Had to change plug to make coffee. Plugged it into a powerstrip and had to hold it in a certain position to make it work while coffee brewed. The hallway on the second floor smelled horrible!!! Very similar smell of cat urine!!! Windows were very dirty in the room. Overall very disappointed in this hotel that had a banner out front on the building that advertised a #1 Choice hotel for 2013.

Bathroom upgrade
Posted Sep 5, 2013 on Hotels.comThe hotel was quite adequate but there was no room for personal items in thhe bathroom. They need to add shelves or a medicine cabinet. We decided not to have the housekeeper come in every day because we had to throw things back in the bottle bag. Towels were VERY thin. But the price was reasonable.

Posted Sep 1, 2013 on Hotels.comIt was fine, no complaints. Food was good, room comfortable, business center worked fine. Air conditioner worked good, but noisy. Bathroom was small, but nice. We would stay there again on business trip. It's not a luxury vacation resort. We knew the area, otherwise we might not have found this hidden hotel.

It cant be McCain. Puhleeeeze. Just look at his foreign advisers James Baker and Scowcroft. banner hat tip J
McCain told Haaretz that as president, he would "micromanage" U.S. policy toward Israel and the Palestinians and would dispatch "the smartest guy I know" to the region, presumably to jump-start a new push for a comprehensive accord.Asked who that "smartest guy" might be, McCain responded: "Brent Scowcroft, or James Baker, though I know that you in Israel don't like Baker."
McCain foresaw "concessions and sacrifices by both sides" and indicated that Israel would be expected to "Defend itself and keep evacuating." Asked whether that meant "movement toward the June 4, 1967 armistice lines, with minor modifications," McCain, reported Haaretz, "nodded in the affirmative."
McCain's statements are jarring not only because they reflect the view, long championed by the State Department and both the moderate and liberal wings of the Democratic party, that the U.S. can somehow "micromanage" a fair and equitable Mideast peace (code for unilateral Israeli concessions, since the Palestinians have nothing concrete to concede), but as well for the almost cavalier dismissal of concerns about an interlocutor on the order of a James Baker.
(McCain's mention of Scowcroft, whose Mideast views and chilly attitude toward Israel are indistinguishable from those usually attributed to Baker, is equally instructive and should serve as one more caveat for McCain supporters in the pro-Israel community.) (more at NRO)
McCain was against the Bush tax cuts.
McCain was a potential running mate with Kerry.
McCain is a liberal.
McCain undermined the Republican party with the gang of 14.
McCain is wrong on illegal immigration.
McCain is wrong on "waterboarding"
Why would Giuliani even think of endorsing a man who wants to weaken the Patriot act, give habeas corpus to terrorists, close down Gitmo? Oh yeah let's not forget the jihad endorsement of The New York Times. Rudy wants the veep spot? Yech.
Giuliani was his own worst enemy. Politico
UPDATE: Pierre wrote;
We must defeat McCain. I would prefer the Hildabeast to him on the theory that better the bastard you know than the one you don't. I know what Hildabeast will try. No telling what McModerate will try.
Good video on Romney He starts to rock at minute 6 then
he ramps it up beginning at 6:00 (hat tip Jeremayakovka)
Romney on the confronting the jihad
Romney on combating nuclear terrorism
I'm getting a bit tired of Senator McCain's anti-business shtick. The line about serving "for patriotism, not for profit" is pathetic. America spends more on its military than the next 35-40 biggest military spenders on the planet combined: Where does he think the money for that comes from?
As for his line about "some greedy people on Wall Street who need to be punished", aside from being almost entirely irrelevant to the subject under discussion (the subprime "crisis"), it reveals, I think, one of the most unpleasant aspects of McCain. For a so-called "maverick", he's very comfortable with the application of Big Government power, and the assumption of Big Government virtue. Undoubtedly there are "greedy people on Wall Street". Why should he and his chums be the ones who decide whether they need to be "punished"? If greed is to be punishable, why doesn't he start with a pilot program applied to, say, the United States Senate and report back to us in five years how that's going?
Primary triumph doesn't seem to be doing anything to mitigate the small and graceless side of McCain. On the other hand, John Hinderaker might be on to something here:
Businessmen, in my experience, are generally more idealistic than politicians. Businessmen really do make deals with a handshake. No one would dream of doing that with Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi or the Clintons. Turning a businessman loose in the political world is basically a mismatch. That's the sense I get of McCain's reaction to having Romney as his last serious rival. He can't believe his good fortune; Romney is an amateur. McCain can poke him in the eye, knee him in the groin, and the rule-following businessman has no idea how to respond.
I don't view this as an argument in Romney's favor. As President, he wouldn't be dealing with honorable, law-abiding businesspeople. He would be going up against the Vladimir Putins, Osama bin Ladens and Harry Reids of the world. This is not a game for amateurs. I think we should recognize that professional politicians bring important experience and skills to the table, and that one of those skills is the ability to knee an opponent in the groin and get away with it.
UPDATE: And while we are on the subject of McCain's failings and misrepresentations of his record. You must read the meticulously researched piece by A Jacksonian over at his blog Dumb Looks Still Free:
As so many like to point to Sen. John McCain's American Conservative Union ratings, I decided to take a look at them! It gives a good idea of what they see as important and how members of Congress voted on those items.
Thus starting in Mr. McCain's House time, and votes contrary to what the ACU supported are listed (Year - ACU percent - comments), all ratings from the ACU Ratings site and I am doing my best to de-conflict the votes for on a proposal against and such [note that non-votes are on ACU cited votes, not of all votes taken]. This list is representative of their views which are biased and I do disagree with a number of their takes and backing, but it is a fair view from a given biased perspective of how to grade Congresscritters:
Now go and read it all then send it to your neighbors!

Cindi Wanta was diagnosed with breast cancer in early 2006. She says it was difficult, but it gave her a new perspective on life.
"It was a really scary time because you don't expect it," says Wanta.
But Wanta says surviving cancer has helped her gain the courage to start her own business. Once her health improved, she opened Oasis Day and Wellness Spa in Mosinee two years ago.
Now, Wanta is using her experience to help others. Throughout October, any breast cancer survivor can stop by the spa for a free massage, manicure or pedicure.
"I would love to have them come in even if they don't want to have a treatment with me, just to come on in and sit down and talk," says Wanta.
Wanta says that just talking to someone else who has also gone through breast cancer treatment could mean all the difference to how a survivor feels.
"When they're going through their treatment make them feel comfortable and maybe even feel good about themselves," Wanta says.
Wanta promised herself that when she got better, she would do whatever she could to help others get past the cancer too.
"This is my way to help them get through their struggle and their battle," says Wanta.
Wanta is also working on completing a specialty training program. She will be certified to provide services specifically designed for those going through cancer treatment.

Nancy Areta
Original name: Nancy A. Porter Clark
Learn about sponsoring this memorial...
Aug. 8, 1825
Liberty Township
Trumbull County
Ohio, USA
Nov. 13, 1888
Cassia County
Idaho, USA
Porterville Cemetery
Daughter of Sanford Porter and Nancy Warriner
Married Edward Stevenson, 7 Apr 1845, Nauvoo, Hancock, Illinois
Children - Joseph Echo Porter Stevenson, Edward Alonzo Stevenson, Eliza Stevenson, Nephi Porter Stevenson, Elizabeth Nancy Stevenson
Married Ezra Thompson Clark, 11 Jul 1870, Salt Lake City, Salt Lake, Utah
History - It took Nancy nearly sixty years to get from Ohio to Utah to Cache Valley and into the art of sericulture, or the raising of silkworms.
With her family, Nancy helped push the American frontier westward, traveling in a flatboat on rivers, crossing the land in wagons, sleeping in the protection of a hollow tree, and camping on frozen rivers with ice eight to ten inches thick. They moved to Illinois, to Missouri, where Nancy was baptized, to Iowa across the river from Nauvoo. It was here that Nancy met Edward Stevenson and Ezra T. Clark, both suitors for her hand. She married Edward in the Nauvoo Temple, April 7, 1845, and by June 1846, two years after the Prophet Joseph Smith's murder, they were with the main company leaving Nauvoo for Council Bluffs, Iowa, where their first child was born.
Joining the Charles C. Rich Company, they crossed the Plains, arriving in Salt Lake City on October 2, 1847. They made their log home in Salt Lake, where four children were born to them. Edward was called to do extensive missionary service in Gibraltar, his birthplace, and in Canada, Mexico, Europe and parts of America. By 1857, when Nancy's fifth child was born, Edward had taken two other wives, one of whom seemed to receive favoritism. Not surprisingly, this caused domestic problems. Consequently, at Brigham Young's arrangement, Nancy's second husband became Ezra T. Clark. Thus it was that Nancy became the wife of both of her two early suitors.
Ezra took Nancy to Farmington in 1870 to a home on Clark Street near his other two wives. She was creative and involved in sericulture (raising silkworms to produce raw silk), and is credited with making the first silk in Utah, which she donated to the Logan Temple building fund. Ultimately this silk was purchased and presented to Eliza R. Snow. It became the first silk dress produced in Utah.
When Ezra T. Clark was called to colonize the Bear Lake area, he established a home at mid-point in Logan, and that is what brought Nancy to Cache Valley where she was appointed as the first matron-supervisor of the Logan LDS Temple. She was called to Elba, Idaho, to assist her son and his little family, where she contracted pneumonia, November 1888, which re-suited in her death. Ezra brought her back to Farmington for burial.
Nancy's entire life was shaped by her unselfish service to her loved ones and fellowmen, and dedication to the gospel. The pioneers' struggle for existence, the problems of plural marriage, the loving responsibility of raising her family alone most of the time, survival through all this with a sustaining love for the Lord--all these things show the tapestry and quality of Nancy's character, and carved for her a place in the mosaic of Utah's stalwart pioneer women.

As an adult, Wright was a devout Communist for over fifteen years, until the age of 36.
From: Matthew Duffus, "Richard Wright" article on "The Mississippi Writers" website, first posted 26 January 1999 (http://www.olemiss.edu/depts/english/ms-writers/dir/wright_richard/; viewed 20 July 2005):
Richard Wright was born on a plantation near Natchez, Mississippi, on September 4, 1908....Richard's grandmother, a devout Seventh Day Adventist, enrolled him in a Seventh Day Adventist school near Jackson at the age of twelve. He also attended a local public school for a few years.
...In 1927 he moved to Chicago, where he became a Post Office clerk until the Great Depression forced him to take on various temporary positions. During this time he became involved with the Communist Party, writing articles and stories for both the Daily Worker and New Masses. In April 1931 he published his first major story, "Superstition," in Abbot's Monthly.
His ties to the Communist Party continued after moving to New York in 1937. He became the Harlem editor of the Daily Worker and helped edit a short-lived literary magazine, New Challenge...
In 1944 he broke with the Communist Party but continued to follow liberal ideologies. After moving to Paris in 1946, Wright became friends with Jean-Paul Sartre and Albert Camus while going through an Existentialist phase best depicted by his second novel, The Outsiders (1953)...
Among his other works are two autobiographies. Black Boy, published in 1945, covered his youth in the segregated South, and American Hunger, published posthumously in 1977, treated his membership and disillusionment with the Communist Party.
...As his vision of the world extended beyond the U.S., his quest for solutions expanded to include the politics and economics of emerging third world nations. Wright's development was marked by an ability to respond to the currents of the social and intellectual history of his time. His most significant contribution, however, was his desire to accurately portray blacks to white readers, thereby destroying the white myth of the patient, humorous, subservient black man.
