Day for Night
As production begins on his latest film, a French director must contend with a hectic shooting schedule to avoid insurance issues, a worried producer, a love stricken prima donna actor, a high profile actress whom he's never met coming off a breakdown on her last set, a washed up drunken actress who can't remember her lines, on site romances, numerous questions from crew members, unforeseen happenings, technical problems, and a cat who can't follow his cues. Day for Night is legendary director Francois Truffaut's love letter to movies (He even stars as the understanding and put upon helmer Ferrand). The film unfolds at a breakneck pace and is wonderfully directed by a man who appears to be at the top of his craft. By using multiple visual techniques to demonstrate the many various facets that go into making a film, and getting a glimpse of what happens behind the camera and when it isn't rolling, we get a glimpse of how what we see on the screen isn't exactly the same as what goes into making it (the title refers to the process of filming a night scene during the daytime and filtering techniques to darken it. It can also be seen to mean how things aren't what they seem on screen). This is a fascinating look at what goes into the crafting of a film and Day for Night rightfully takes its place alongside other great movies about the movie making process such as Singin' in the Rain and Fellini's 8 1/2.

Transportation and Vehicles
The Adobe van.
We use only our own Mercedes Benz, 4×4 Sprinter van for our workshops now. It seats 10 people including the driver.
We find it is more personal to travel in a small group, where each individual gets more attention. It provides much more flexibility.
Our Adobe van is fitted with 220V power, Wi-fi router, A/C and oil heating which is a special asset when waiting for auroras during spring or autumn nights.
We always pull a trailer for provisions, tripods, and luggage when we are traveling between accommodations.

Loren Scott has been described variously as "a London rocker", "a thought provoking artist" and simply "ace". As it happens all these descriptions are accurate for this singer and songwriter who shows remarkable depth and versatility on her second album. Aided by a sterling line-up of backing musicians, 'The Full Clown Service' is a classy alternative rock affair
Scott is blessed with a fine voice; sometimes so deep you'd be forgiven for thinking this is a male artist. She casts a brooding presence on just about every track on here from the half-gloomy, half-grungy opener 'Don't Let Love…' to tense instrumental closer 'Perimeter'. 'So Many Reasons' and 'Opium Of The Week' are top notch indie rockers with plenty of soul. It's indicative of the overall quality of the record that even low-slung instrumental 'London Fields' sounds atmospheric and important whilst the vocal hooks for 'Sunday' are complemented by strings. Best of all is 'Glass'; a beautifully mysterious piece of work with Scott lending her ghostly presence over a shimmering backdrop.
The production for 'The Full Clown Service' is spot on with spacious arrangements perfectly complementing the breathy quality of Scott's own tones. Equal parts haunting, intense and emotional, this is a seriously good artist who doesn't need any quirky gimmicks to stand out.

Prior to the game, the Skyhawks' six seniors were honored
Palmer totaled 28 saves
FOXBORO, Massachusetts (February 9, 2019) – The Stonehill College men's ice hockey team fell to Northeast-10 Conference foe Southern New Hampshire University, 4-0, in its final home game of the season at Foxboro Sports Center on Saturday night.
The Penmen opened up the game with three goals in the first period, including two power play goals. Southern New Hampshire was called for the first penalty of the game at 5:39, but the Skyhawks were unable to get past the Penmen's defense as six shots got through in the two minutes. Soon after, the Skyhawks saw their first penalty and after trying to clear the puck out of their defensive zone, the Penmen picked up the loose puck and saw Chris Moquin lift it up past Billy Palmer for a 1-0 lead at 9:05. A few minutes later, Southern New Hampshire extended their lead to two, 2-0, with a punch in by Brett Strawn at 15:15, with assists from Jake Cox and Moquin. Roughly three minutes later, the Penmen saw another power play opportunity. Cole Stewart drove the puck into their offensive zone and skated it around the cage dishing it to Max Kent who sent a one timer at the cage giving Stewart the opportunity to tip it in for a three-goal lead, 3-0, at 18:47. The Skyhawk's 21-10 shot advantage in the first wasn't enough to put them on top, as the Penmen saw two power play opportunities and capitalized on them.
In the second period, roles were reversed and the Penmen saw a 22-11 shot advantage. Southern New Hampshire was able to add to their three-goal lead with a rebound goal by Phil Heisse at 13:41 as Zack Ciampa and Moquin assisted after an initial shot by Moquin that went left after bouncing off Palmer's pad, 4-0.
Shots were minimalized in the third period as Southern New Hampshire totaled nine to Stonehill's eight. The Penmen contained the Skyhawks to their defensive zone for most of the frame as they looked to hold on for their second shutout of the season.
Stonehill will play Franklin Pierce University for their final Conference game of the season on Tuesday, February 12 at 7:30 p.m. at Jason Ritchie Ice Arena in Winchendon, Massachusetts.
For the latest on Stonehill Athletics, follow the Skyhawks via social media on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram. Fans can also download the Stonehill Skyhawks "Front Row" mobile app, powered by PrestoSports, on iTunes and the Android Market.

Last month I took another excursion to Bristol to, purposefully, stay with Catherine for two nights. (You may remember she put me up for the night of BS8's lock in.) My mission for the daytime was to show Catherine a different side to Bristol to the one she has seen, which largely involves university buildings, text books and buses. So on the Wednesday, after a morning spent blogging while she had lectures, I caught the bus in to the town centre to begin exploring.
We started off exploring the area around the Cathedral, hoping that we might be able to go inside it. Unfortunately, UWE graduation ceremonies were happening so the Cathedral was out of bounds for those of who weren't graduating. (Congratualtions to Victoria from She and Hem on graduating.) So we proceeded to venture through the archways and found ourselves heading towards the harbourside. We wandered for a good long while, revisiting places I remembered from my GCSE Geography visit over six years ago! We ended up finding ourselves in Redcliffe starring at a map that had a magic word written on it… CAVES!
The Redcliffe Caves to be exact. Catherine and I (and Annabel) studied Geology A Level so we all have the strange ability to get excited about rocks and various geological features. Thus we headed off to find these caves only to discover that they were blocked off from the public. Seriously Bristol! Public attraction going to waste right there! However, we did still try to look as far in as possible before my imagination ran amok with smugglers and sailors.
After this we found ourselves outside the 'M Shed', which turned out to be a free museum about Bristol's history. Free is always good so we headed inside to learn more about Bristol's somewhat tumultuous past. Though I was aware of Bristol's slave-trading history, I learned a lot about the politics of the city. Bristolians have a long history of disagreeing with politics and the 'M Shed' told their story really well. I particularly liked the emphasis on independent shops and the various movements and protests that have encouraged people to chose them over the chains and corporations (Tesco, I'm thinking of you). Definitely a fantastic way to spend an hour or so.
On leaving the 'M Shed' we discovered that it was a little later and darker than we realised. So off we went looking for a bus to catch home. One stop at the greengrocers and we were home cooking saag aloo while watching Friends. Thus ended my exploration of Bristol with Catherine.
I'm intending to visit Bristol again in 2015 so I'm looking for more places to visit in the city. Even more exciting, it looks like my National Trust membership will get lots of use in the city. So here are to more adventures with Catherine, and hopefully Annabel, exploring a city that has much more to offer!

Should You Write a Thank You Letter Even If You don't Get The Job?
by greg
(orlando fla usa)
Question: Is it ok to write a thank you letter even if you do not get the job?
That is a great question.
Put simply, writing a thank you note to someone - anyone - is never going to do any harm.
Could you imagine someone receiving a sincere thank you note and reacting negatively? "This is an outrage! How dare this person thank me!".
No, on the contrary, it's a great idea to send a thank you note to a potential employer who didn't end up hiring you. The company still offered you an interview, and gave you a chance at employment. That is worth a thank you.
But beyond being polite, this act of gratitude could still end up landing you a job with this company, or another.
Consider This Scenario
You were one of three candidates in contention for landing the position, but lost out to another candidate. Within the first two weeks of employment, management decides that the person they chose actually isn't a great fit.
In most cases, a company isn't going to want to hire someone they have already turned down. But, by sending a thank you note, you've shown that you're not bitter or upset. Instead you come off as gracious and professional.
So, instead of spending time and resources restarting the application process, the hiring manager phones you up and gives you a shot.
The more positivity you put out there, unsolicited, the more you'll get in return. I truly believe that.
So, even if the chances of getting the job are slim, by sending a thank you note, you're showing your true colors, and people don't forget truly nice gestures.
What's the worst that could happen?
Join in and write your own page! It's easy to do. How?

How do Bosch Nexxt Dryers compare if you're thinking of upgrading your dryer?
Bosch is a European company that also sells in the Unites States. They are known for high quality appliances that come with equally high prices.
Gentle Drying Cycles – While many dryers can be hard on clothing by using air that is very hot, the Bosch dryers actually blow more air at temperatures that are lower, so your clothes don't get overheated. This means that your clothes get dried like they should and it keeps them looking great for a long time, while using less energy than most other dryers.
Special Ecosensor – Most of the Bosch dryers also have a special Ecosensor on them as well, which is a monitoring system that works to offer great drying results for our clothing. It senses the dampness of your clothes, so as the clothes get dryer it automatically reduces the amount of heat used. This means that laundry is well taken care of and that energy is preserved as well.
Extremely Quiet – Special technology is also used in Bosch dryers to make sure that they are extremely quiet. A noise dampening technology is used, which reduces the amount of sound that is put out by the dryer and also changes the sound frequency as well, which helps to bring you quiet drying time.
Energy Efficient – The dryers made by Bosch are extremely energy efficient. They make sure that your laundry is done as quickly as possible and with as little energy as possible, which means that you'll actually save on your energy bill.
The 500 is equipped to be one of the quietest dryers on the market. Unlike most dryers, they also feature a see-thru door, so you can see how your clothes are drying.
They also can be synchronized with your Bosch washer, so they will both end at the same time, saving you time when doing your laundry. How many times have you finished the wash and had to wait to put it in the dryer?
If you can't get to the dry clothes immediately, the Bosch has a feature called Wrinkleblock, where the machine will continue to spin once every so often to keep wrinkles from setting in.
You have 11 drying programs to choose from that cover everything from delicate items to durable rugs… and a choice whether you want to end them as damp, dry or extra dry.
You can purchase dryers in this series in both white and silver, and it also has a volume capacity of 6.7 ft. as well.
This is a front loading dryer that comes with a moisture sensor, cool down features, quiet mode, and a variety of excellent drying cycles.
It has sensors that help to keep the clothes from overheating; however, some people have reported that the users manual can be a bit on the confusing side.
The 500 Plus offers the above plus a drying rack that you can use for shoes or delicate fabrics, which is also excellent for clothing that has to dry flat.
You'll also get the Ecosensor, which can sense when the clothes are dry, and will end the cycle, saving you time and energy.
This dryer also comes in both silver and white and has a variety of excellent features. It comes with a great silence rating of 67dB and is advertised as the quietest dryer that is sold in the United States.
It provides drying that is gentle, saves on energy, and has the special Ecosensor in it that helps to save energy and make sure that clothes are dried with the lowest heat possible.
The 800 offers all of the above, with 15 drying programs to choose from. Whether the additional drying programs is enough to warrant it being another model entirely is up to you.
This clothes dryer comes in two different colors – white, and a silver and white duo tone as well. This series of dryers has 6.7 ft capacity, which means it has quite a bit of room inside of it.
There are 11 different drying cycles available as well that are easily displayed on the LCD display. It offers quiet drying, a stainless steel drum, a drying rack, and even a special Wrinkle block feature to keep clothes from getting wrinkled.
In researching users comments on the above machines, it seems they fall into one of two camps… they either fall in love with the machine completely, or utterly hate it.
Some consumers think these dryers are the best money can buy… they're quiet, gentle with clothing, and easy to run. Others have the exact opposite experience, finding these machines difficult to run, extremely loud, and frustrating.
Since all the machines they have written about are brand new, it is difficult to draw an easy comparison as to why some may be having a good experience while others are not.
Those having difficulties report that it is hard to work with customer service and to get timely repairs, as only Bosch certified technicians are allowed to repair the machines, and apparently it can be difficult to get them scheduled in a timely manner.
Those who were happy with their Bosch dryers found them quiet, and were amazed that they really did stop as soon as the clothing was dry.
They were a bit taken aback however, that the dryer cord and the ventilation hose were extra and not included in the price of the dryer, since it is an upscale model.
Those who didn't like the Bosch had problems keeping them running. The dryer would turn off and an indicator light would blink.
After trying to remove the offending lint the dryer was indicating was there, it still would not work more than a few moments before the indicator light went on. A replacement did the same thing.
So, if you are considering Bosch Nexxt Dryers, do your homework. Chances are you'll get a really nice dryer that you'll be happy with for many years to come.
Or, you'll be saddled with an expensive metal box that doesn't want to work no matter what you do. If you have researched and found that the features that Bosch offers can't be beat, then it may be worth trying.

Bakersfield, California is located close enough to the North Pacific coast that residents can reach the beach at Santa Barbara within a few hours, but it's far enough away that it's not considered a beach town. It's located a couple hours away from Los Angeles and the Sequoia National Park and is part of Kern County. While Bakersfield city is known as a young city with many opportunities for athletics and cultural activities, it also has its own brand of country music called Bakersfield Sound.
From everyday buildings like the Bakersfield Police Department and Bakersfield College to fun venues like Rabobank Arena and Fox Theater, there's always something to do when you live in this city. Lake Ming and Beach Park provide safe public space for outdoor recreation, and Sam Lyn Ballpark offers entertainment during the baseball season. For performing arts and live music shows, residents can visit Buck Owens Crystal Palace and Rabobank Theater.
Whether you live in East Bakersfield or another area that fits your lifestyle, the year-round sunshine awaits you.
Buying a Home in Bakersfield
Bakersfield is a diverse city with neighborhoods that fit every personality and lifestyle. Take the time to think about the things you like to do for fun, where you will work and what special amenities you may need. For instance, a growing family may consider the quality of local schools while a single businessman would more likely focus on nearby entertainment venues and proximity to his place of employment.
It's important to work closely with a real estate agent familiar with the character of all neighborhoods because it is sometimes challenging to find a home within your budget in an area that fits your lifestyle needs. An agent can also ensure that you get to see new homes hitting the market quickly.
Popular Neighborhoods in Bakersfield
If you enjoy living in planned communities with new homes, the Seven Oaks neighborhood may fit your needs. The community is made up of multiple small neighborhoods all centered on a shared country club. Other perks of living here include a swimming pool, golf course and tennis courts. A restaurant is also within walking distance. You can expect home values in the $300,000 range. To get the same amenities plus beautiful mountain views outside your window and more acreage with your home, the City in the Hills neighborhood is another option.
If you need a much lower price range, find the College Heights neighborhood. It's close to Bakersfield College and is full of older homes with a median value of less than $100,000. Belsera is an interesting neighborhood with an eclectic mix of home styles and prices, so you may find what you need there regardless of your budget.
Buying vs. Rent to Own Homes
There's an undeniable satisfaction that comes from buying your own home. You hold the key to the front door in your hand, and your heart swells with pride. While moving your furniture in is never pleasant, there's still a sense of gratification in doing that work. If you want to enjoy that experience but know that you're not quite ready to make such a substantial purchase, you should consider a rent-to-own home contract.
This is a special agreement that allows you to rent your home for a specified period of time. You are then presented the option to purchase the home, often utilizing funds that were saved up from your monthly rental payments. You get to settle into your new home right away, but you aren't forced to take out a loan and officially make it yours from the start. If you need some extra time before buying, this is something to strongly consider.
Cost of Living in Bakersfield
While the cost of living in Bakersfield is slightly above the national average, it is still quite affordable compared to many other California cities. You won't find Orange County prices here, but there are some affluent neighborhoods with impressively sized homes. You can find properties that fit within any budget here, and the cost of goods and services won't break your piggy bank.
If you want to move to California but can't afford Orange County or the pricey beach towns, Bakersfield just may make your dreams come true. You'll find neighborhoods with homes suitable for every lifestyle and budget here as well as a long list of entertainment venues, restaurants, museums and public parks. Whether you're raising a family or enjoying the single life, this is a safe place to enjoy your life in sunny Cali.
Rent to Own Realtors
Working with a realtor doesn't guarantee that you will successfully complete a rent to own deal, but their knowledge and expertise can make a big difference in your success rate.
Unfortunately, not many realtors will want to work with you on a rent to own deal. There isn't a lot of profit for a realtor in rent to own deals.
So, you'll need to find others with the knowledge and expertise you are looking for to ensure a successful lease-option experience. Consider consulting with a realtor, a title company and a mortgage officer instead. These professionals are better than a realtor because they are experts in their respective fields, as opposed to realtors who know a good deal about each of those rent to own factors.
About Our Listings
Rent to Own Labs offers free listings for rent to own by owner, foreclosed homes and owner financed properties. Start looking for apartments or houses near me with the Rent to Own Labs search function.
These programs are a great way to buy a condo or townhouse if you have bad credit. In fact, lease purchase and rent to buy programs usually offer cheap homes with no credit check. Just make sure you look at your lease to purchase agreement to understand whether you have the option or obligation to buy the home you're looking at. Lease-purchase agreements require the buyer to purchase by the end of the lease term, while lease-option agreements give the buyer the option to buy.

• Job listings will be available soon. We recognize that most job applications are either due on October 1st or October 15th and that, in consequence, the list will be of little help for those making decisions about their applications. We hope, instead, that the listings will serve as a reference point for job-market developments.
• After a brief experiment with comment moderation, we have decided to disable it on a temporary basis. Please be on your best behavior; we will delete comments that bring disrepute on the IR Rumor Mill. If the comment sections begin to look like those found on some of the other "rumor" and "discussion sites" (some of you know what we're talking about) we'll return to being a moderated forum. The short version: we do not view discussions of the quality of specific job applicants as appropriate subjects for the IR Rumor Mill.
• We suspect that some short lists are already decided and that interviewees have already been contacted. We will soon be establishing discussion threads for job-market related information. A few rumors are currently circulating at American and Comparative Jobs. We have no corroborating evidence for these rumors, however.

Thanks for taking this task on. And even more thanks for the moderation. I was actually kind of hoping for the IR rumor mill's demise, seeing some of the abuses and annoyances of the last run, but a moderated list should do the trick.

#AllAboutCoconut #CoconutGermPlasm: Berbagai isu terkait kelapa yang mulai diangkat kembali ke permukaan membuat saya jadi teringat kembali pada rasa galau yang sempat saya curhatkan dalam bentuk opini di The Jakarta Post dengan judul sama seperti posting ini. Berikut opini lengkapnya:
Coconuts: Use them or lose them
The Jakarta Post – Wed, October 9 2013 | 11:05 am
Indonesia has major biodiversity and Indonesians are often very proud of this label, but has it brought real added value to the people of Indonesia?
An example of Indonesia's germplasm diversity is coconut. There are so many different coconut germplasms found on many different islands across the archipelago. Indonesians have benefited from the existence of such germplasms since long ago, but in the years to come, things could change.
In the near future, the coconut may no longer exist in this beautiful nyiur melambai (beguiling palm) country and could be replaced by other crops that people perceive to be more productive.
Early last April, I visited the Indonesian Palm Research Institute ( IPRI ) in Manado, North Sulawesi. I saw a coconut germplasm collection curated by the IPRI in various field experiment stations. I saw so many different coconut palm collections from various places that exhibited a number of unique phenotype.
Never before had I seen such a diversity of coconuts in the field. I was also told only a limited number of breeding materials ( hybrids ) existed in the IPRI's field stations.
Seeing such a vast number of coconut germplasm collections really took my breath away. On the other hand, I felt so sad to hear that most of the collections were just that ' collections. The utilization of the germplasm is still somewhat limited, either at research or commercial level.
I remembered the following phrase I had read on social media: 'Plant germplasm: either use it or lose it!' With this in mind and seeing how little coconut germplasm has been utilized, I am sad.
My message for IPRI staff, scientists and practitioners working with coconuts is this: Act soon and act firmly in a coordinated manner to use all the necessary means to utilize available coconut germplasms for the good of Indonesia. We need to think hard about what will be the future of the coconut industry, how to design new coconut varieties to meet future demand and how to develop the means to mass produce the seedlings to meet coconut planting material demand.
If this is not done, we may lose precious coconut germplasms because of the greed of other developers who simply ignore coconut trees.
If there is a need to develop coconut in the future, there may be none available in Indonesia as they could be already extinct. We have witnessed the rapid disappearance of coconut areas because of land conversion and other human development activities. Similar cases have happened to ex coconut germplasm collections at Bogor Agricultural University ( IPB ), Bogor and IPRI, Manado, Indonesia.
There used to be coconut collections at IPB on the Darmaga campus, but their existence ceased because of the Darmaga campus development. Ever since, there has been no interest in renewing these coconut germplasm collections.
A similar case happened at IPRI, Manado. Precious international coconut germplasm collections have been rooted out because of land conversions.
The failure of Indonesian scientists and coconut stakeholders to show significant findings about coconut and its derived products has also contributed to the decline of the coconut industry in Indonesia.
A lack of serious good will from policy makers and business entities may have further contributed to the decline.
Prior to the expansive development of oil palm, the role of coconut was very important in Indonesia as a source of cooking oil. However, at an alarming rate, coconut has been replaced with oil palm in so many different areas that used to be home to coconut growing. This occurred because of the short-term thinking that oil palm productivity was worth more than coconut.
In the meantime, coconut-associated scientists have failed to counter the notion that oil palm is more profitable than coconut.
Unless we start to change the way we think about coconuts, we may lose this important tree crop very soon. One day it could disappear, but I hope that day never comes.

Gold Rush management took over our house from another management company. They are responsive to issues that come up and have rectified the problem with prompt and professional service.
Gold Rush Management is a great company to work with! Dustin was helpful, thoughtful, and very responsive to questions and concerns. I would certainly recommend working with Gold Rush if you are looking for a rental in the Helena area!
Found Gold Rush when we first moved to Helena and stayed in our apartment for two years, until we bought our first house. They were the best rental management company we experienced! Their properties are very well maintained and their customer service is truly amazing. Will recommend this company in the future.
Having lived in a Gold Rush property for half a year now, I must say that I have found them to be incredible in the service and care they show for us as tenants. They do everything they can to make sure that our experience is a pleasant, and they always respond with enthusiasm.
I had the experience of moving across the country in a short period of time when I gave Gold Rush a call. They had beautiful properties and some great reviews that impressed me. They were so helpful and quick to respond through the whole ...
Dustin and Claire are amazing. I am a property owner and the service they provide are amazing. By far the best property management company I've ever worked with.
Gold Rush Management has been good to me as one of their tenants for the past 3 years!! The property managers are awesome and they work with you to make sure your place is functioning properly and safely. I highly recommend them if you're looking for a place in Helena, Montana!!

I don't really buy sesonal decorations. I hate storing them & I HATE packing them up when the season is over! Too much work. So at our house we fill our home with seasonal decorations made by the kids & me. Now that sounds very hokey...& it is...but we love it. Especially the kids! Here is my little Bo making his pumpkins this year.
I always have some shapes cut out for him to glue on. I try to have my daughter cut her own shapes. But I must admit it is very hard for me to keep my hands off their projects. I like the mouths centered & the eyes matching. But if I can restrain myself...their creations always turn out to be my favorite.
This little guy ended up with 2 mouths. He is our favorite!
Last year we did monsters! Those were a ton of fun!
Every holiday we make something a little different.
On birthdays I always have the house decorated when they wake up.
And we like to send dad holiday emails by our creations.
St. Patrick's Day
And Valentine's Day is always filled with red balloons.
Cheesey? Maybe. But we love it.
The best part is...after a week...just toss them all in the trash. No packing, no storage.
For Christmas we go real decorations, but other holidays...homeade all the way.

Lydia730055 needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 98 designs submitted by 26 freelance designers.
Sunset in the Rearview
We are a music blog promoting artists who fall in a wide range of categories/genres: hip-hop, indie rock, folk, electronic, and more. We post on our site (http://sunsetintherearview.com) daily and often feature fun posts such as interviews, daily specials, album reviews, concert reviews, and more.
I want a catchy logo that represents that we are a fun and person music blog and that isn't TOO literal with our name (Sunset in the Rearview). I'm not looking for headphones or speakers in the logo - that's a bit too literal. I'm really looking for something more eye-catching and that uses our existing brand colors (#5558da and #E73541) -- you're free to add more colors to this. Beyond that, the freedom is yours! Here are links to some other music blogs who have logos that I really like:
1. http://disconaivete.com/
2. http://welistenforyou.com/
I want to make stickers and t-shirts eventually with this design, too, so something bright and exciting would be great! I like that neither of the designs that I showed above really represents what their name is, but is more eye-catching.

"More companies are interested in backing new artists. This is inspirational, and we aim to follow the trend," said Kim Yoon-hee, the director of fashion and creative industry division at Seoul Design Foundation at the press conference held Tuesday at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul.
|Kim Yoon-hee, the director of fashion and creative industry division at Seoul Design Foundation (Yonhap)
Noticeably absent at the press conference was Jung Ku-ho, the executive director of Seoul Fashion Week, who has been in charge of the Seoul Fashion Week for three years. His term was extended for another year but the director is said to have expressed a wish to take time to consider his next move following this season's presentation.
Opening the doors to international stages for Korea's budding designers is one of the aims of the Seoul Fashion Week and the organizers have sought to boost the number of international buyers with purchasing power coming to the event.
"We have invited 30 additional buyers this year, bringing the number of those invited to 170. Altogether, some 300 to 400 buyers are anticipated at his year's fashion week," said Kim.
Leah Kim, the womenswear executive vice president of Barneys New York; Jeannie Lee, the Selfridges women's designwear buying manager and Ha Joo-hyun, a womenswear buyer at the Excelsior Milano are among those who will be on the lookout for talent.
The Generation Next Seoul section of the week will highlight up-and-coming designers selected by the Fashion Week organizers.
Apart from the runway shows, there will 18 off-show fashion events throughout the city, fashion movie nights and parties at the DDP.
The veteran model-turned-designer Rubina will be honored during the fashion week with "Endless Journey," an exhibition featuring works from her 37-year career.
The 2018 S/S HERA Seoul Fashion Week will take place for six days from Oct. 16 to 21 at the Dongdaemun Design Plaza in Seoul. A total of 41 collections by the nation's top 35 designer brands and six fashion companies will be presented.
The Generation Next Seoul, Oct. 17 to 21, will stay close to the main fashion week venue this season, taking place at the vast underground parking lot of DDP. The section will host a trade show and 16 mini-fashion shows for some 100 young designers.
A mentoring seminar titled "FASHION in the Age of Genderless" will be held from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m on Oct. 20, where overseas fashion designers will share their views on gender fluid fashion.
This year, the Seoul Metropolitan Government has allotted 2.6 billion won ($2.3 million) for the fall/autumn and spring/summer Seoul Fashion Week, down from last year's 2.8 billion won.

On the Trinity and the Holy Spirit
For many of us, the Trinity is something that we confess, but if we are honest, we are not sure what it means. While the Trinity is a mystery, there are helpful ways of thinking about it and understanding it better. In this brief clip on God's triune nature, Greg discusses the nature of the Trinity and how the Spirit draws you up into God's life.

Will Redford Tell the REAL Watergate Scandal?
This article is very similar to Pat Buchanan's attempt to whitewash the Nixon Administration in his article appearing on the same date, April 10th, 2012:
Same methodology: attack the motivations of those who helped expose Nixon as the operator that he clearly was (Especially Mark "Deep Throat" Felt.) And, yes, attack the motivations of Woodward and Bernstein who put themselves out on a limb by exposing this conspiracy. Sorry Conrad and Pat, it won't wash! (Lord Black is a convicted felon,
and Pat Buchanan was a paid advisor to the Nixon Administration.)
No, Nixon did not earn the nickname "Tricky Dick" for no reason.
Granted that we are nearing the 40th anniversary of the Watergate break-in but these two articles appearing on the same day is no coincidence.

Vedanta is the oldest of the major living religions of the world. It affirms that all religions lead to the same Truth—"Truth is one; sages call It by various names" (Rig Veda). Vedanta teaches that the essence of all beings and all things is Spirit, infinite and eternal, unchanging and indivisible. It emphasizes that a person's true nature is this divine Spirit, identical with the inmost being and reality of the universe and that the goal is to actualize this truth in one's life.
We are free if we would only believe it, only have faith enough. You are the soul, free and eternal, ever free, ever blessed. Have faith enough and you will be free in a minute.

Can this be rectified? her lenghth & head seems to be fine its just the weight that is a problem. please help i am so stresed. More: All ExpertsPaediatrician Expert's Reply A.Paediatrician Your baby's weight has been below average since birth, but she was following quite a reasonable weight gain line on the infant girl's weight chart until the age of 14 weeks. Her weight at that time was on the so-called 25th percentile line of the infant girl's weight chart.This means that she was in the lowest 25 out of 100 baby girls at 14 weeks Since then her weight has fallen off quite a lot and at her age of 6 months her weight is now on the 2nd percentile line. This means that her weight is now the lowest 2 out of 100 girl babies of her age. She seems to be taking a reasonable amount of formula based on her weight. It would be best to take your baby to your nearest baby clinic for advice. I presume that the paediatrician examined her and made sure that there is no obvious reason why she is not gaining weight.

Much of the criminal justice profession recognizes the value that United States veterans bring to the field. The years of military experience and similarities between the two professional fields encourage many law enforcement employers to hire veterans. In many cases, these employers appreciate the knowledge and background of a veteran so much that they take initiative to make it easier and more appealing for veterans to transition into a career in criminal justice.
Why Veterans Make Good Candidates for Criminal Justice Careers
The similarities in military and law enforcement careers go far beyond the fact that many of these positions require the employee to wear a uniform. There are numerous qualities associated with veterans that are attractive to employers and hiring managers, such as:
- Desire to serve their country and community
- Courage and willingness to sacrifice
- Strength of body and character
- Drive to protect people and their rights
- Discipline and agility
- Ability to operate under stress
- Respect for lawfulness
- Ability to take orders
Versatile Professional Background
With your professional experience drawn from the military, all you need is the academic experience to help advance or evolve your career. As the oldest private military college in the nation, Norwich University has been educating and serving military students for nearly 200 years and has been a leader in criminal justice education. We appreciate the service and experience of military members and can help you gain the knowledge, skills, and credentials you need to be a versatile employee. Your military experience may even qualify you to receive academic credits that can be put toward your Norwich bachelor's degree, completed entirely online.
Your ability to think critically about criminal justice and your familiarity with an academic environment will help benefit you in your future career, especially if you're heading to the police academy. Although police academy training and military boot camp both require physical training, self-defense, and firearms training, the programs are quite different in most other respects. Typically, police academies have a substantial academic focus, where basic training emphasizes physical and tactical training.
Potential Rewards for Military Experience:
- Streamlining or fast-tracking your applications
- If you spend a large portion of your life in the military, but don't make it to the 20-year mark typically required for retirement benefits, a career in law enforcement could help you retain all or a portion of those benefits. In a survey put out by Army Times in 2015, more than 70 percent of agencies said they offer retirement credit for military service.
- Waiving education requirements
- Potential eligibility to use G.I. Bill benefit as an income supplement while attending the academy law enforcement training.
- Adding preference points to exam scores
- Offering incentive pay
- Mandated in federal law enforcement agencies, Veterans' Preference gives eligible veterans preference in appointment over other applicants. Although not all active duty service members may qualify for veterans' preference, it is a benefit worth looking in to. Veterans' preference is un-mandated by individual law enforcement agencies.
- An age deduction from the maximum age limit
Resources on Criminal Justice Careers for Veterans and More Opportunities:

What did I learn today?
I launched the website on Jan 1, 2017 and have been thinking "What Next?"
Though I got more than ten ideas, I was waiting till today to zero in on this idea – Daily Learning.
I have decided to share my daily learning here. Over a period of time, this might be a good collection of how I spent my time and is there a pattern in my learning.
May 2019
Learned about Service API Automation – POISED heuristic by Amber Race from Test Automation University.
Aug 2018 – March 2019
Joined Qapitol QA as AVP-Delivery and started learning about the variety of projects, customers and domains.
- I started designing my own project templates to get information about each project.
- Started using the apps Brilliant, Daylio. Enjoyed TestAway Goa and made good friends in the testing community. Learned about Mafia game and how it can be applied to testing.
- Started playing the game 'Keep Talking and Nobody Explodes' which encourages effective communication.
- and many more… will list them soon
Aug 2017 – Aug 2018
Employed with JP Morgan. This site was on pause mode.
04th April 2017
I did not interfere with how Abinaya (@AbiTheTester) set up the Facebook page "Test With Ajay" (https://www.facebook.com/testwithajay/) and she surprised me with the final result. Most of the times, we kill someone's creativity by imposing our ideas on them. Think about it.
02nd April 2017
I don't remember how I landed up at this app but I am so happy that I did. The app name is Encode (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.upskew.encode). This learning goes well with what I am learning from "Java for Testers" by Alan Richardson.
28th March 2017
I presented in the meetup organized by Agile Testing Alliance. There I saw a demo of how Dharmalingam from Moolya created mind maps programmatically. Pranav K S looked at me and asked: "Why did it not strike us?". It was an important question and I think I know the answer. We are busy doing the same things:
– Meeting the same people
– Reading the same authors
– Playing it safe with our learning
– Not spending enough time "thinking"
The day we will spend considerable amount of time thinking on solving authentic problems, we would have made progress. After the meetup, I and Ravisuriya helped Pranav understand the problems he was facing, which were similar to the problems we faced when we started our testing journey. Do you see a pattern? We talked the same things which we already knew 🙂
05th March 2017
After the three days of STeP-IN Forum's awesomeness via the Agile Testing Days Asia conference, I checked my email. There was an email from a tester who wanted help in getting back on software testing track after spending a lot of time in the banking domain after being on bench as a software tester for few months. We decided to get the concepts right in five hours and then practice for five days before trying at different companies.
The day's output was similar to this:
The big problem came when the tester was asked to test a feature of an application. I had demonstrated testing of a feature, how I took notes, how to investigate some of the bugs we discovered, how to use tools to assist testing. Maybe, I should have a call with the tester to handhold them for few sessions.

Call for conferences is on for two of the conferences I like. http://enjoytesting.blogspot.in/2016/11/call-for-speakers-for-two-of-my.html
There is a new security testing exercise list – 30 days of security testing by Ministry of Testing
Read the first book from the list http://www.inc.com/rhett-power/15-free-ebooks-that-will-help-you-grow-as-an-entrepreneur.html?
Book name: 50 startup founders reveal why their startup failed
Beta tested an iOS app. I had shared my mobile screen using Quick Time Recording + Google Hangouts. I was just wondering if there was a way to mask passwords during such sessions.
Had a call with Shrini Kulkarni and discussed on how to question. The books 92 ways to talk to anyone and Crucial Conversations came to mind. Recollected the course Think Again: How to Reason and Argue
Spent time discussing about learning, programming, teams with Narayan Raman and understood how one can use the "I want to agree with you" premise to let people open up to share their views.
Was reading the book Amma (on Jayalalitha) and figured out how running a political party is definitely not a child's play.
I have been practicing my chess skills again. ajay184f is my id on Chess.com

Article on Test Strategy by Fiona Charles: https://www.stickyminds.com/article/basics-revisited-test-strategy
I received the link for this article in my inbox today and having attended Fiona's session, I read the whole article. To my surprise, this was from 2011.
Idea: I need to spend some time revisiting archives from different forums.
I take a lot of videos and screenshots resulting in my phone memory quickly filling up.
This also means I cannot install more apps.
Idea: How can I make a lightweight mobile recording rather than saving on my phone? Search for a tool that saves directly on cloud and gives me the link to share.
I had 2000 INR note and wanted to get change in 100 / 500
Once the cashier handed me the change, I noticed that someone had scribbled on one of the 500 notes. I was not sure if it meant that the note would no longer be accepted by banks. How do we prevent someone from scribbling on the note?
Multiple logins to the same GoDaddy account is possible from two computers on two different networks.
WordPress: You can give access to a user to a specific site(or page) from the main domain. Need to investigate more.
We still see many websites with error messages that make perfect sense to the website owner and at the same time, the users have no clue why they are facing the error message.
The Zen of Problem Solving: The Path of No Resistance by Peter de Jager. I created a quick unpolished mind map of the webinar. Here is the partial image.
And I wanted to follow Peter to realize that twitter showed me that I had blocked him. Now, I have no clue why I would have blocked him. I just hope that it was accidental. I started thinking about how many such accounts I would have blocked by mistake…
See you tomorrow.

Robbery Victim Uses Internet to Track X-Box Thief
Robbery Victim Uses Internet to Track X-Box Thief
A thief who stole an X-Box game player in Philadelphia got more than he bargained for when the rightful owner blogged about the theft. Gamers tracked the thief through the Internet and spammed him into submission. The X-Box was anonymously returned.
MICHELE NORRIS, host:
Turns out, you don't need the police to solve some crimes. Jesse McPherson was away when his Philadelphia home was robbed.
Mr. JESSE McPHERSON (Resident, Philadelphia): The TV was ripped right off the wall, and the Xbox was taken as well as my girlfriend's old PowerBook.
ROBERT SIEGEL, host:
So he did call the police, not much they could do. And he went to a local pawnshop. Yes, said the owner, a fellow was trying to pawn a laptop just the other day. McPherson left with a snapshot from the surveillance footage.
NORRIS: Meanwhile, his co-workers brought him a new Xbox and when he hooked it up to the Internet, he heard this.
Unidentified Man: Yo dude, I got your Xbox. If you want it, you can buy it back (unintelligible).
NORRIS: Well, we snipped a few choice words out of that message, but that's the gist of it. So McPherson called police again. Still, not much they could do. McPherson posted the snapshot, the audioand his story to his blog on a Saturday night.
Mr. McPHERSON: I woke up at around 4 a.m. and realized that I was on the front page of Digg, and all this stuff is going on. And my blog is being crushed.
SIEGEL: He was on the front page of Digg, the online site that elevates postings by popularity, and his blog was being crushed - that's a good thing. The online crowd had traced the username on the Xbox message to a YouTube account and to MySpace, and then bombarded the thief with messages. McPherson heard from him again.
Mr. McPHERSON: I was getting messages and e-mails from the person saying, I can't sleep because I'm beat from getting harassed, and people are calling me.
NORRIS: In the end, a young man appeared at Jesse McPherson's doorstep with his laptop, and the stolen Xbox later arrived in a white trash bag. The TV, it's still at large. McPherson says there is one long-term benefit from the whole episode.
Mr. McPHERSON: A pretty good way to start a blog.
SIEGEL: Well, the many things you can do with an Xbox are just one topic of INTERN EDITION. That's the show put together by our own interns Ariel Kitch(ph) and Travis Larcha(ph) and others here at NPR. INTERN EDITION debuted today, and you can hear their stories at npr.org/internedition.

I think this is it—my most favorite quilt that I've made so far. I have loved it since I started piecing it many years ago, and I still love it today, now that it's finally finished.
The pattern for the quilt is from the book String Quilt Revival by Virginia Baker and Barbara Sanders. (That's the same book I used to make String Quilt #2.) The blocks are 6.5 inches and include one piece of the four-pointed star surrounded by strings. I used a mesh stabilizer as a foundation for the blocks. It doesn't add much weight, but it adds a lot of stability when sewing all those thin strips of fabric. (Here's a link to purchase the stabilizer I used from the book's authors.)
The blocks are then put together to form the stars and the secondary diamonds. I love the shapes in the quilt, so I accentuated them with the quilting. I outlined the stars and added lines to the centers. For the diamonds, I just followed the strings in kind of a modified spiral.
The quilting really was a hang-up for me, as I've had the quilt top done for at least two years. I've even had it pinned for most of that time. But I was afraid I might not like the quilting, and then I'd be really sad. Finally, I decided I just wanted the quilt done. So I quilted it. And while it's nowhere near perfect, I still love it.
The finished quilt is 59 x 59 inches. The backing I used is just one fabric, a teal that pretty much matches the lighter stars. It's also the fabric I used as the binding.
For me, this quilt is really a memory quilt—a fabric memory quilt. I love looking at all the little pieces of fabric and remembering the projects I made with each one. Baby quilts for kids who are now in middle school and high school, bags that I've worn out, and mug rugs I've given as gifts.
We'll be updating our living room soon, and I hope to hang it in there for easy viewing whenever I want to relive a few memories.

Beyond these touristic marvels, Dubai has some of the best restaurants with the most impeccable food you can find. Majority of the population are expats, probably explains why there's a lot of flavor in this city.

Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes Is a Surprisingly Great Mobile Game
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: Portable/Mobile, Reviews, Role Playing Games,
Star Wars: Galaxy of Heroes, a role-playing game released for mobile platforms last fall, initially struck me as a game I could skip without a second thought. It had the appearance of a cheap cash-in meant to capitalize on the launch of Star Wars Episode VII: The Force Awakens. Although I'm not generally not the sort of person to write off a game for being free-to-play (some of my favorite games don't cost a dime to start playing), there's something about the combination of that business model, mobile, and a major franchise that made me assume it was not worth so much as a download.
I was wrong.

Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas is fun, but Xbox 360 HD remaster is rough
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: Action, Adventure, Reviews, Xbox 360,
Somehow, 10 years have already passed since the release of Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas--arguably the most innovative game in the series. To coincide with the recent anniversary, Rockstar re-released the game on Xbox 360, replacing the Games on Demand version with a slightly improved version. And while the game itself remains an enjoyable experience, this may not be the best way of revisiting it.
I find myself occasionally in the mood to play one of the classic GTA III-era games (GTA III, Vice City, and San Andreas), which are among my all-time favorite games. I typically ignore this compulsion or simply spend a few minutes with the iPhone version of GTA III; I get my small dose of nostalgia but invariably stop playing because, despite Rockstar's best efforts, these are not games that work well on a touchscreen.
An improved re-release of San Andreas was exciting news for me--while a release on Xbox One or PS4 would have been ideal, a cheap Xbox 360 version with improved graphics, better draw distance, and achievements sounds like a great way to revisit the game.

Is being too good at Shadow of Mordor robbing me of a better experience?
Posted by Chris Pereira Categories: Adventure, Editorial, Reviews, Role Playing Games, Xbox One,
There were any number of reasons to be excited for Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor, which launched earlier this week. For myself and many others, it was the Nemesis system--which promises unique enemies and emergent gameplay--that was the most exciting aspect of all. And while it's certainly an intriguing feature, I can't help but feel I've been missing out on it for basically being too good at the game.
Until reviews started to hit the web, I was very cautious in being optimistic about Monolith's first-ever Lord of the Rings game. For being such a major franchise, quality games based on it have been few and far between--something that's especially surprising considering its renewed popularity following the release of Peter Jackson's movies. Once I heard the almost-unanimous praise from the reviewers I trust, I was onboard. I was ready to finally play a LotR game that was a genuinely good game, not another passable one that I accepted because it happened to make use of one of my favorite franchises.

Get free copy of Destiny for Xbox One or PS4 with last-gen purchase
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Adventure, Bungie, First Person Shooters, Hot Deals, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Xbox 360, Xbox One,
Bungie has just announced a stellar deal for Destiny buyers--if you pick up the digital version of Destiny for the Xbox 360 or Playstation 3, you get to download the next-gen digital version for Xbox One or Playstation 4 for free. That's two copies of Destiny for the price of one.
The deal applies to all Destiny content, too, so if you buy the Guardian edition of the game, or the Expansion Pass on Xbox 360 or PS3, you'll also get that same content on Xbox One or PS4 as well.
To be clear, those who take advantage of the promotion get to keep and use both versions of Destiny. The downloads will be tied to the same Xbox Live or PSN account, and as a result, you'll have to choose one ecosystem (Xbox or Playstation) for both copies of the game--you can't get it for PS3 and then get the Xbox One version, or vice versa. This is a great deal for those who still have an older console in a spare room and want to have Destiny playable on both.
If the above doesn't apply to you, you can still get a free copy of Destiny (or any other Xbox One game) this week!

10 upcoming games I can't wait to play
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Adventure, Bungie, E3, Editorial, Features, First Person Shooters, Microsoft, Nintendo, Platformers, PlayStation 4, Survival Horror, Wii U, Xbox One,
This year, E3 had one of those showing that only happens once every 8-10 years. E3, the Electronic Entertainment Expo, is the biggest video game conference in the world, and it's where game publishers show off what they're working on. E3 2014 was unique because it was the first one after the release of two major consoles--the Xbox One and the PlayStation 4. Developers got to show for the first time full portfolios dedicated to the new hardware, and it was glorious. There was a lot to see during both the Microsoft Xbox and Sony PlayStation media briefings, and Nintendo surprised many with game announcements of its own. I figured I'd whittle things down and share the ten games I was most excited about, in no particular order.

5 big game releases to get you through the coming summer drought
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Action, Driving, Features, Fighting, Nintendo, PC, PlayStation 3, PlayStation 4, Sports, Square Enix, Ubisoft, Wii U, Xbox 360, Xbox One,
The summer months can bring drought conditions in many areas across the world, but as any hardcore gamer will tell you, the gaming industry suffers the same condition each year. It's even tougher in years like 2014, where two major consoles just launched and early adopters are clamoring for new software for their pricey investments.
While I can't do anything about the lack of new games that are set to drop this summer, I can certainly help you get through it. Over the next two months, right before summer hits, we are going to see a few high profile games released that we think will dull the summer gaming blues. Some are old favorites, while a couple are brand new IP that look to offer unique gaming experiences. Here's my list of the five games to pick up this summer, in order of release date:

Nintendo delays Wii U speed update until fall
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Nintendo, Wii U,
You know that Wii U system update that is supposed to speed up the console by a pretty big margin this summer? Well, in yet another misstep for Nintendo's latest home console, that update will not be arriving until the fall. Specifically, Wii U owners will be waiting until sometime "between the end of September and the beginning of October." There will still be a system update, but it will be a much less significant patch that simply addresses small stability issues and the standby download feature. The speed update was first announced in January, but we guess it isn't much of a surprise that Wii U owners are stuck waiting. Again.

Next Xbox: November launch, $499, $299 with subscription, Blu-ray
Windows super-fan Paul Thurrott, who has a good track record for internal Microsoft rumors, is sharing information that he has heard as it pertains to the launch window and pricing of the new Xbox (which we are assuming will be called Xbox Reveal or Infinity, but is codenamed Durango.) First, the next Xbox will launch in early November 2013, and will cost $499 out of the gate. Alternatively, you'll be able to pay $299 for the console if you also pay a $10 monthly subscription fee.
If this is true, then we imagine that this is where all of the hoopla over an "always-on" console is coming from. If you choose to go the subscription route, then your Xbox will likely need to be connected to the Internet in order to make sure the subscription is active. Piggybacking on that thought, maybe if you stop paying (or if you can't get the Xbox online,) then the Xbox will simply not let you play games until you are paid up or reconnect it to Xbox Live.
Other information shared include that the new console will ship with a Blu-ray drive, and will run on a modified version of Windows 8. We will have all the news as it happens when Microsoft unveils the next Xbox on May 21.

Microsoft will reveal the next Xbox on May 21
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, Hardware, Microsoft, Xbox, Xbox 360, Xbox Live,
Microsoft has announced that it will reveal the next Xbox on May 21st at an event to take place at the Xbox campus in Redmond. Gamers have been patiently waiting for an announcement from Microsoft on the next Xbox (codenamed Durango,) especially after Sony announced the Playstation 4 at an event in February. The company says that the event will "mark the beginning of a new generation of games, TV, and entertainment." Aside from inviting select press to be on hand, the event will also be broadcast as it happens on Xbox LIVE for all to see. It'll also be broadcast on SPike TV for those who are in the US or Canada.
Don't expect all the info on the next Xbox to be revealed on the 21st, though. Microsoft says that they'll wait about three weeks before announcing the full line-up of games, which it'll do at E3. There's a lot riding on the next Xbox, which follows up the current generations most successful console, the Xbox 360.

Sony will unleash the PlayStation 4 on February 20
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Corporate News, PlayStation 4, Sony,
Sony is set to reveal the PlayStation 4 in less than three weeks, on February 20th. According to The Wall Street Journal, not only will we get a look at the PS4 and a rundown of all the new features, which include "more social gaming aspects" and "changes in how users interact with the machine," but gamers can expect to be able to pick up the new PlayStation later this year.
As for the console itself, not much is known--what we do know is that it will likely be powered by an AMD CPU and GPU, which could prove difficult for PS3 backwards compatibility, since the PS3 is powered by Sony's Cell processor. Additionally, although Sony considered shipping the PlayStation 4 without an optical drive, the Blu-ray drive will still be present, because the company believes that games are too big, and broadband not yet fast enough, to rely on hard drive storage and digital downloads.
We'll have all the info for you on the 20th!

Digging Holes by Renee Asher Pickup
If there's one thing I'm good at, it's digging holes. There's no bad situation I can't make worse. No small mistake I can't turn into a life-altering disaster. Once, I got an F in English. Before I realized I was digging, I had a bad reputation and two teachers had been fired on my account. Next thing I know, I'm expelled because knockin someone's teeth into the roof of their mouth is looked down on. Even if she did call me a whore.
Didn't take long for me to figure out that whiskey made a fine shovel. Drink a little, dig a lot. Drink a lot and those holes get so deep so fast I'd be ankle deep in mud before I realized what was going on. I turned into the kind of woman no one would hire, not any respectable employer. The kind of woman who can't cut hair, can't really type, and has too foul a mouth to work retail.
I worked construction until some cocksucker made a grab for my ass while I was carrying some lumber. Swung that board right into his face. That board may as well have been a shovel.
This world doesn't have a place for women like me. This world likes women with clean mouths and clean fingernails. Women who politely charm the people they hate instead of setting their heels and digging in for a fight. I can't seem to help myself.
Every time I turn around I'm digging a new hole.
Tonight, though, it's less metaphorical. The squidge squidge sound of my boots in the mud is very real. The splinters going into my hands from this old shovel are real. The whiskey on my breath is real. The blood …
In a small town, you are who you are. There's no reinventing yourself. No turning over a new leaf. Everybody knows you fucked your English teacher, knocked out the prom queen's front teeth, and that you're the reason Earl's face will never be the same again. They know stuff about you that you never even did. No matter how bad I want to quit digging, I find myself here again.
You know, I had an Amtrak ticket in my hand the night I met him. Ready to leave this old shithole behind and go somewhere I had half a chance. Even had a job lined up. Oh, but there he was in a tight T-shirt with fucking dimples, hands on my hips, telling me everything I wanted to hear. So I stayed. I woke up in his bed the next morning and ripped that train ticket into a hundred pieces.
So you tell me how I ended up digging this hole on the back end of his property? Out here by the tree line, sweating and cursing? It wasn't the whiskey that put the devil in me this time, but it is making this job a little harder.
I told him, you know, you can't have property this big, this far outside of town and not have a dog. Anybody could sneak right up and do anything and you'd never see it coming 'til it was too late.
I told him, you know, you better always be upfront with me. I'm not a jealous type, I'm not a dramatic type, but goddamn I hate a liar.
I told him, you know, this is a pretty knife you gave me, and I'm going to carry it with me everywhere I go. I laughed and jabbed it at him, and I told him, you know, you could really hurt a man with a knife like this.
I told him that whiskey made me mean.
I told him that bitch was flirting with him at the bar.
I told him I was really fucking good at digging holes.
I guess he knows now.
I guess he knows now.
