Three cadets sit at attention, if there is such a thing, in the Jewish synagogue on the lower level of the Air Force Academy's Cadet Chapel.
They're here to answer a reporter's questions about the academy's religious climate — a topic that exploded in 2004 after allegations that cadets were being proselytized by evangelical Christians and that Christianity had become ingrained as the academy's most acceptable faith. For example, then-football coach Fisher DeBerry had hung a banner in the locker room stating, "I am a Christian first and last ... I am a member of Team Jesus Christ." He was ordered to remove it in November 2004.
But that's ancient history to these cadets, members of the Cadet Interfaith Council, which was formed after a 2005 Air Force investigation found "a lack of awareness over where the line is drawn between permissible and impermissible expression of beliefs."
Proselytizing, in other words.
Philicia Fahrenbruch, a slender third-year cadet who is Jewish, tells me that not much of that goes on these days, although at times cadets must be reminded. "We had a complaint a few months ago," she says, after a cadet sent an e-mail squadron-wide with a religious message.
The cadet was counseled that such notes must be confined to specific recipients, she says, adding, "It's an education thing." She insists any incidents can be fixed with a phone call or e-mail.
Third-year cadet Daniel Dwyer, a Buddhist, says he has not experienced any discrimination due to his faith, and Amanda Welch, a sophomore who is Protestant, backs up what the others say. All agree the academy is sensitive about religion issues. They also agree with Fahrenbruch that, "Right now, I think it might be getting blown out of proportion."
Atmosphere improves
Controversy erupted in August after the latest gauge of the religious climate, and other issues, was withheld from public release by Superintendent Lt. Gen. Michael Gould. He refused to share details of the 2009-10 cadet climate survey, saying it was "pre-decisional" and, therefore, not subject to disclosure. But he said the responses reflected a positive academic and working environment, and suggested religious discrimination was declining.
The survey, obtained by the Independent in August, shows that 41 percent of non-Christian cadets responding to the survey said they were subjected to unwanted religious proselytizing. For Christian cadets, it was 14 percent. Also, 42 percent of non-Christian cadets said they were drawn into unwanted religious discussions, compared to 21 percent of Christians.
In 2004, when the academy asked slightly different questions, just over half of non-Christians said they had not felt pressure to be involved in religion at the academy. One assumes, then, that just under half did feel pressure.
Also that year, more than 60 percent of non-Christian cadets said they had heard religious slurs and religiously demeaning jokes from cadets. That question wasn't asked in the recent survey. But it did ask how often cadets had heard disparaging remarks about religious background, and only 34 percent had "never" heard such remarks. (A footnote: Disparaging remarks were more prevalent about gender, race and sexuality.)
The 2004 survey reported that one in three non-Christian cadets felt Christian cadets received preferential treatment. The latest survey didn't ask that question, but roughly one in seven non-Christians said they felt less socially accepted because of their beliefs.
All this gives Gould hope.
"I was really encouraged by the trend that fewer cadets felt they were proselytized," Gould says in an interview. "The concept of respect is sinking in to this Cadet Wing."
Still, Gould acknowledges the latest survey's results might not be reflective of the entire Cadet Wing. In 2004, 83 percent of cadets participated during time dedicated to the survey. The recent survey was given during December and January, and only 40 percent — a total of 1,840 out of 4,595 cadets — responded. By far, the largest portion of respondents — 39 percent — were freshmen. Seniors comprised only 17.5 percent.
That probably skews results, Gould admits, in such areas as whether cadets prefer squadron acceptance over reporting disrespect, because freshmen still are adjusting.
How much has the academy been able to influence freshman impressions on respect and integrity? Gould asks rhetorically. "It wasn't the best survey. We'll learn what we can from it."
Gould is thinking of giving the next survey in March 2012, and designating a time for it, rather than allowing a two-month window for cadets to respond online.
The preponderance of freshmen who responded might have helped boost some of the final numbers on religious proselytizing, since they're maybe seen as open to new ideas. The minutes of the Cadet Interfaith Council's March meeting hint freshmen may be targeted: "Group leaders trying to convert each other at the SPIRE picnic (it scares the Freshmen). Result: ask the SPIRE leaders to stop." SPIRE stands for Special Programs in Religious Education.
But Gould says the academy hasn't been overwhelmed by complaints about religious activities.
In the past two years, the Inspector General's Office has received six complaints against creation of an Earth-based worship area, and one complaint from a cadet's parent in 2008 saying the cadet was distracted from studies by involvement in an off-base church. Academy chaplains have received nine complaints and 10 letters of appreciation about Cadets for Christ, a group that has met on campus and is run by civilians Don and Anna Warrick, all within the past six weeks.
Often, such complaints are anonymous, and as Gould says, "It's hard to fix an anonymous response in a survey."
War declaration
When Gould refused to release this year's survey, he provoked the AFA's biggest religion critic, Mikey Weinstein.
Weinstein, a 1977 grad who says he was beaten up as a cadet for being Jewish, is a screamer. But he gets results. His nonprofit, the Military Religious Freedom Foundation, set up amid the 2004-5 religion controversy, earlier this year exposed that a military contractor places Bible verse codes on rifle scopes used by the American military in Afghanistan and Iraq. The contractor has agreed to remove them.
Weinstein, who lives in Albuquerque, N.M., claims MRFF has thousands of members and connections throughout the military, from the Pentagon to the academy's Cadet Wing.
Although Weinstein praised Gould after the new superintendent arrived in mid-2009, notably for sanctioning the Earth-centered worship area, Weinstein now calls him the "lord of lies" and recently declared "war" against Gould and the academy. He claims that Gould's decision to keep the survey under wraps triggered dozens of calls and e-mails from cadets, graduates, professors and staff, who contend fundamentalist Christianity still reigns at the school.
Weinstein says all of his contacts are "scared to death" to go through military protocols with their complaints.
In a Sept. 28 letter to Secretary of Defense Robert Gates demanding an investigation, Weinstein insists that more than 100 cadets have told him they pretend to be fundamentalist Christians in order to maintain good standing among their squadrons and superiors. Weinstein claims the group consists mostly of Christians who "aren't Christian enough or the right kind of Christians."
Weinstein also cites the academy's dissemination of a christianfighterpilot.com article on its daily Falcon Clips news service. The website's blog has been critical of Weinstein's salary of $252,485 in 2008, nearly half of MRFF's total revenue that year.
Weinstein demands the academy ban Cadets for Christ from the campus, which at times has met at Arnold Hall. He also wants the academy's SPIRE program, which he calls "a gateway for fundamentalist Christians," eliminated. Lastly, he wants a new system created where people can feel safe in reporting undue religious influence.
"Everyone is terrified of the academy," Weinstein says. "I'm carrying their water, and I'm tired of it. I've been doing it since two thousand fucking four."
Hooks in the water
I spent an afternoon at the academy recently and came away with a greater understanding of just how difficult it can be to provide an atmosphere of religious freedom while preventing unwanted faith sharing.
Gould emphasizes he must walk a fine line in upholding the First Amendment, which both protects religious freedom and prevents establishment of a government religion.
"My mission is clear. It's to provide the guidance and create an environment where we are free to practice our faith or not at all, so we can get on with the real mission of creating leaders of character for our nation," he says. He says he's hammered home the message that it's out of bounds for someone to use rank to exert religious influence.
But at the Chapel, I learn that the Chaplain Corps is still groping for ways to underscore the message, to field complaints and to discover if things are happening that shouldn't be.
Maj. Joshua Narrowe, a rabbi who's senior chaplain in charge of plans and programs, has been at the academy for 14 months and hasn't experienced any anti-Jewish sentiment. "I've asked my cadets time and time again if there are issues, and the answer has always been 'no,'" he says.
Other chaplains say they constantly try to take the pulse of cadets. Narrowe says the academy works hard to accommodate various faiths, pointing out the addition of Buddhist, Muslim and Earth-centered worship areas in recent years and attempts to avoid required training on religious holidays.
But the whole thing can be confusing to cadets, the chaplains admit. There's nothing wrong or illegal with sharing one's faith, Narrowe says. The foul comes when it doesn't stop, or when a superior wields faith as a carrot or weapon. "Do I have a right to share my faith? Yes," Narrowe says. "Do I have the right to harass you? No."
Maj. Peter Fischer, senior Protestant chaplain, goes further: "If you're going to share your faith, you need to do so within your peer group," to avoid the appearance of undue influence by a superior. "Government has no right to tell you what you can or can't believe."
That's one of the messages during an hour of training on religious freedom and restrictions provided to first-year cadets and the basic training cadre of upperclassmen. SPIRE leaders get 90 minutes of training.
But the Chaplain Corps admits more is needed, and the chaplains are looking for help from the AFA's Religious Accommodation Conference in mid-November. The academy also is working with the Anti-Defamation League on accommodation and discrimination problems.
Says Narrowe: "It's a work in progress right now."

A Third Option is Necessary
The intensifying battle over the future of NCLB increasingly makes one point clear: A new federal law is needed. On the one side, the current law increasingly reduces schooling to underfunded test preparation programs, particularly damaging the educational opportunities of students who are low income, from minority groups, are English language learners or have disabilities. On the other side, the rationale for the law, the inadequate learning opportunities and outcomes for too many students, remains.
Since neither the current law nor the situation it was intended to fix are acceptable, opponents of test-based accountability and proponents of educational equity should unite to promote a helpful alternative: When given two bad choices, create a third.
The Joint Organizational Statement on NCLB, now signed by more than 50 national education, civil rights, children's rights, religious and citizens organizations, provides guidance for overhauling NCLB. This approach would eliminate NCLB's destructive, test-and-punish mandates and would focus on building school and district capacity to educate all children well. This third option would also address many of the concerns raised by recently issued reports on NCLB (see story, p. 16).
• The Joint Statement is on the web. See also the "Draft Principles for Authentic Accountability" on the same page.

Rumors as to the low availability of the Apple iPad mini with Retina Display (Apple iPad mini 2) have been greatly exaggerated, but there are other tablets on the market, like the Google Nexus 7 and Amazon Kindle Fire HDX, that are actually better buys. Is the Apple iPad mini 2 really worth its price of $399 for a bare-bones model?
Manufacturing difficulties had been thought to have reduced the availability of the iPad mini 2s, but they can be found, and there could even be an iPad maxi in the wings that will be released in 2014.
An unspecified number of the iPad mini 2s suffer from burn-in issues on their retina screens. This issue makes them substandard and impossible to sell, and has led to the rumors that the 7.9 inch tablet would be difficult to find this holiday season.
Another aspect about the release of the Apple iPad mini 2s that had consumers nervous is that other Apple products, such as the iPad Air, had clearly stated release dates, or they became available the very day that they were announced. The iPad mini 2, on the other hand, did not have a specific date set by Apple for its release.
Despite this, the Apple iPad mini 2 is available "widely at stores across the U.S." according to CNET.
CNET checked the availability of the Apple iPad mini 2s in stores in L.A., Chicago, Boston, and Philadelphia. At least before Black Friday, they all had the devices. The Apple iPad mini 2 is still available online, as well, from the Apple Store. Apple is not offering any discounts or gift card deals to consumers who purchase the devices.
A report from the Korea Times states that Apple wants to compete with LG and Samsung by introducing a 12.9 inch iPad in 2014. An unnamed official stated that a "local first-tier display supplier" for Apple "is now producing a 12.9-inch Retina Display to be used in the new iPad." The new iPad maxi, according to the official, "will be coming out sometime next year."
One rumor about the iPad maxi 12.9 inch tablet which may or may not be true is that it will feature 4K video, which is an "almost ultra-high-definition (UHD) quality." This rumor, and the fact that Apple has been rumored in the past to be releasing a larger iPad and they haven't done so yet, has led many people to doubt the report in the Korea Times that Apple will introduce a 12.9 inch tablet in 2014.
However, according to Digitimes.com, Quanta Computer has taken orders to mass-produce Apple's 12.9 inch tablet sometime during the second half of next year. Quanta Computers has neither verified nor denied this rumor.
Apple does not expect order volume to be very high for the larger-sized iPad, and the target consumers for it would be primarily in the enterprise and education markets.
As far as the Apple iPad mini with Retina Display goes, some consumers will likely be put off from buying one because of its high cost. The 4:3 better-than-HD screen is amazing, and it's backed by superior apps; but, Apple might have priced it too high, out of the reach of the very consumers it's trying to target.
The body of the Apple iPad mini 2 is a unibody, made of aluminum. It has metal buttons and chiseled edges, and the design of it looks worlds better than any of its competitors.Battery life is excellent, and the sped of it is incomparable — tap a button and what you want happens instantly.The high-res 2048×1536 screen is very impressive, as well — it's the $399 price for the bare-bones model that is a potential drawback, especially as you get just 16GB of storage. For just $299, you can purchase a 16 GB/WiFi version of the Google Nexus 7, or for $244, you can buy a 7-inch Amazon Kindle Fire HDX (with ads removed).
For that same $399 that an Apple iPad mini with Retina Display costs, you could purchase a 32 GB Nexus 7 with LTE connectivity and have $50 left over to buy games, content, and apps.
Also, an irritant is that the Apple iPad mini with Retina Display does not include the Touch ID fingerprint reader. This means to sign-in and to have purchases approved, you must type in your PIN and full iTunes password.
The placement of the speakers on it makes it sound as if the sound comes from just one side of the devices. By contrast, Amazon's Kindle Fire HDX (and the Nexus 7) has speakers that are placed much better, providing better sound, especially for movies.
Also, the Smart Covers and Smart Cases Apple uses have a tendency to leave marks on the iPad screen — linear streaks that are very annoying, especially as the devices cost so much compared with other, similar, devices. If you're looking at getting value for your dollar, mini-tablets like the Amazon Kindle Fire HDX and the Nexus 7 are much better values than the Apple iPad mini with Retina Display.

The Ohio University Post recently published an article featuring The School of Media Arts and Studies' study abroad program. Erin Davoran, a staffed columnist for The Post and senior in the Scripps School of Journalism, discussed her six week trip to Ireland made possible by the MDIA Screenwriting and Documentary Storytelling in Ireland Program.
From The Post article:
Monday the 14 is the Global Opportunities Fair. To anyone consumed by wanderlust, attend the fair. Apply for programs. Go abroad. I did, and it was one of the most, if not THE most, meaningful experiences I've had as an Ohio University student.
I was a freshman just a couple months into college when I attended an information session for Screenwriting and Documentary Storytelling in Ireland. I left the session with butterflies in my stomach I was so excited just to apply. This was in October. The program wasn't until June, but I was already anxious to go.
I studied in Ireland for six weeks with 14 other students, the best TA known to man and professor Frederick Lewis, without whom the program would not exist.
We wrote narrative and documentary screenplays, interned at an arts festival in County Donegal, traveled to a film festival in Galway, saw Riverdance in Dublin, met a king on Tory Island and learned about The Troubles in Northern Ireland.
We screened films and met filmmakers. We lived near sheep, tried to learn Gaelic, climbed actual mountains and fell in love with the country and its people.
I was never once homesick. And now, two years later, I could still see myself moving there.
My experience is unique but in some ways not uncommon. I know many people who have gone abroad and feel the same way about opening yourself to new and unknown opportunities. In the Orientation Guide, I urged freshmen to burst the bubbles they live in. Studying abroad will do that, I guarantee.
A friend of mine who graduated in May had an internship in California last fall. When he came back in the spring, he mentioned how he missed the "real world." College seemed so mundane to him after living and working away for a semester.
When I came back from Ireland, I was only beginning my sophomore year so I had a lot of learning and living in college left to do, but I understand what he meant.
Studying abroad helped me see a sliver of the vast world there is out there for the taking (not in some colonialist, genocidal, Christopher Columbus way. More in an Aladdin-Jasmine "A Whole New World" kind of way).
People often ask me how I feel about being a senior, applying for jobs and graduating soon. I know I'll miss OU and my friends, colleagues and professors here, but another part of me is really excited to see where I can go and what I can do. Studying abroad no doubt plays a huge role in that motivation.
Even if I never move to Ireland or go abroad again (I desperately hope that isn't so), I will always be grateful for having that opportunity. The study part helped me realize how much I love screenwriting and documentary filmmaking, and the abroad part exposed me to a new culture and, as a person of Irish descent, my own history.
So study, volunteer or work abroad if you can. Go somewhere that intrigues, excites or maybe terrifies you. Go somewhere internationally or domestically. There are so many opportunities and places you can go. So go!

I never had to wear a uniform while in school. For years in grade school I was governed by a dress code requiring collard shirts on the boys, plain shirts with no writing and no jeans, but that was about as serious as it got. Most of the reason I didn't apply to a certain boarding school was because, if my memory serves me right, the girls had to wear dresses or skirts one day of the week. Just to give you a idea of how little I thought of being told what I could and could not wear.
Perhaps I could have used some more structure in the wardrobe department and I might have avoided some catastrophic combinations (all of which seem to have been captured on film and haunt me still). Instead, I was allowed to roam free in whatever horrendous trend my peers and I celebrated at the time.
I understand the ease of a dress code. There is less fussing about what to wear, less picking on kids who aren't wearing the latest and greatest, less of a chance the girl in front of you in biology is displaying her new thong and thus more focusing on the topic at hand, and easier shopping for those who can't last more than 30 minutes in a store and get tired from trying on clothes. I'm sure there are more benefits I am forgetting.
And I also understand the flip side: that it's important for us each to demonstrate our individuality be it through clothing, music or hairstyles, that we don't all look good in plaid, and that comfort often times carries confidence.
But having worn a uniform of sorts for the last few weeks, I will tell you a few things. One is that you get bored of your limited clothing options pretty quickly and second, wearing a uniform makes accessorizing ridiculously important. Watch or no watch becomes a huge decision. Gold jewelry or silver? When you have a limited selection of tops and bottoms, it's the tiny details that take up the rest of my time. So the theory that a uniform results in less fuss is moot. The fuss is just being focused elsewhere. If I were in high school, I would be spending a large amount of time finding ways to make my uniform more demonstrative of my personality.
Add the restriction of one color to a uniform, and the morning wardrobe selection process that I used to adore seem a heck of a lot like ground hog day. I'm not getting to the point where I'm more comfortable in uniform, although I could see that happening since I don't really have to think about it and I'm getting used to it, but it makes me wonder if getting comfortable in it means that I am changing, or my perspective on the uniform is changing?

Rurikovo Gorodische, located on the right side of Volkhov, opposite Peryn', is one of those places. Despite the desolation and remoteness, it remains popular among the scientists, who, time after time, carry out archeological excavations here, as well as tourists who travel here to learn the history, and Novgorodians who choose Gorodische as a destination point for a long walk on a summer day.
At first glance, this place seems like an ordinary nature's corner: the fields, pretty both in summer and spring, and the gloomy scenery of the Russian northwest – the most beautiful places of the world, according to the scholar Dmitry Likhachov. A small hill. Ruins of an ancient palace. And that's probably the only things a traveler would see here. Add wonderful sunsets to the list, when the drowning sun shares its final rays with the water and slowly closes its heavy eye, and a remarkable landmark nearby – the Nereditsa Church, built in 1198 by order of Yaroslav the Wise… But are those the only things that attract people to Gorodische?
"Gorodische"... From the point of view of ancient word formation, it literally means "a place, where a town used to be". "Rurikovo Gorodische" – as it's been called by historians and local experts ever since 19th century – evokes associations with the Rurik who, according to legends, was summoned to Rus' in 862, over a 1000 years ago, and who founded the Russian nation. However, where are the roots of that nation? Is that the secret that Gorodische holds? The secret of its name has been attracting attention of scientists for a while: if Novgorod was new at the time, then how far back does that defensive fortification date?
In the end of the 1st century, the source of the river Volkhov and the northwest shore of Lake Ilmen, were the central area (also known as Poozerye) for the northern slavs. The two reasons behind their decision to claim those lands were the fertile soil and a perfect position on the intersection of two most important trade routes: Volga trade route and "Varangian-Greek" route. The hills along the floodplains of Volkhov and Ilmen, as well as Veryazha, were riddled with various Slavic settlements, and Peryn' was their central pagan temple. Gorodische played an important role in this region in 9th century; according to the chronicles of 1103, it was well-known as a residency for Novgorodian nobility and an important center of Novgorod's political life. Its importance was justified by the comfortable geographical location: the settlement was built on an island that was close to the distributaries of Volkhov, and it was on high ground, which means it was a naturally fortified key to the whole Lake Ilmen.
According to scientists, Gorodische follows the path of Ladoga in its development, which was distinctive for most of the early Baltic trading centers. However, unlike Gorodische, Ladoga couldn't become the center of the Slavic lands, as it was fairly remote from the Slavic world and had no fertile soil, even though it also developed with the help of international trade and was even more ancient. Gorodische evolved in a cluster of farming settlements, which formed the core of the future Novgorodian land; besides, all strings that governed the entire Ilmen region came from here. According to one version of the Varangian Summoning legend, Rurik moved to Gorodische from Ladoga, which shows how important its role was in 9th century. His palace was here as well, but now it's lost. The influence of the settlements around Gorodische increased with time. Higher-ups of the society were enticed to live in a both administrative and economical center, where all the income of the future Novgorod land came to, and so they moved closer to Gorodische. Gradually, the territory of the future New City formed that way, and with time, Gorodische became the Old City as we know it now, and the search for it kept the minds of the world scientists occupied for a long time.
In the middle of 10th century, a couple of quickly developing settlements were already present on the hills 2 kilometers away from Gorodische, which were eventually taken by Novgorod. At this time, the new settlements and Gorodische are developing independently, but during the pagan reformation by Vladimir the Great in 980, the idol of God Perun was placed in Peryn' (in Kiev, it was placed in Kremlin), which again shows it's central role.
In late 10th century, the first constructions are built on the territory that approximately matches the one of the modern Kremlin: Detinets and the wooden version of St. Sophia's Cathedral. Eventually, the settlements of the Slavic nobility formed a completely new structure and around 10th-11th centuries they took over most of the administrative and economical functions of Gorodische.
In early 11th century, Yaroslav the Wise moved his residency down the current of Volkhov, to Torg. That impacted the intensity of life in Gorodische, as if it stopped for a moment. But in late 11th century, because of an increase in amount of functions for the mayor and a simultaneous decline in the role of knyaz, he was forced to move back to Gorodische, preserving the right for himself to live inside the city.
In 1103, in contrast with St. Sophia's Cathedral, the Annunciation Church was built in Gorodische. The church's façade was three-bladed. The schematics, the shape of the pillars and the steps were identical to Saint George's Church in Yuriev Monastery, which was built a bit later on the opposite shore of Volkhov. During archeological excavations, another circumstance was found: the Annunciation Church, along with Saint George's Church, formed a majestic propylaeum – a gate to the city from Lake Ilmen; it was a construction of indescribable beauty.
During his rule, Alexander Nevsky also lived in Gorodische. In 1477, Ivan III of Russia chose it as his place of stay as well, along with Ivan the Terrible, who orchestrated the punishment for the Novgorodian boyars. In late 16th century, this place had lost its original influence and became the tsar's residence – Peter the Great gifted it to Alexander Menshikov.
A unique place full of historical secrets shows its true colors to an inquisitive traveler, who resurrects this quiet piece of land with the power of imagination. It's almost as if Rurik's lost palace will rise up again, the battle cry of knyaz's kinsmen will echo in the fields, accompanied by the sounds of matins from the church.

Alan Rogers Review
This is a small, friendly, all-year site alongside the SS26 road and close to the motorway from the Mont Blanc tunnel and the Saint Bernard Pass, providing a useful stop if entering or leaving Italy via these routes. It has 130 pitches, with space for about 50 touring units on the grass areas between the permanent units. The Peretto family take pride in looking after their guests and English is spoken. The site has a small bar and a simple, inexpensive restaurant is 50 metres away. The site is thoughtfully laid out in a valley with attractive plants, shrubs and trees for shade and is surrounded by high mountains and wooded hills, with vines bedecking the eastern slopes.
If you are here in October help the family pick their own grapes, make the wine (in the Nebbiolo style) and share the fun; the wine is sold at the bar – it is good! Children can paddle in the shallow river and catch tiddlers on the northern boundary. This is an ideal base for climbers as the mountains in this area are extremely popular. The many famous valleys including Valle di Champorcher and Valle di Gressony are within easy driving distance, as is the Parco Nazionale del Gran Paradiso. Being close to main roads, there is inevitably some traffic noise.
The sanitary facilities are adequate and kept clean, with both British and Turkish style toilets and free hot showers. A new, high quality toilet block with facilities for disabled visitors has been opened on the upper level of the site. Washing machine and dryer. Bar (Easter-30/9). Outdoor free-standing pool (1/6-31/8). Free bicycle hire. Fishing. WiFi (free).

We do a lot of book reviews in this space, because we recognize the value in shouting other professionals in our craft. And because we read as much as we can to entertain ourselves, and also to grow in our craft.
That being said, there are a few authors with whom I'd really love to sit down and grab a coffee. I'm sure there are so many I've yet to discover but for now, here are a few of my top picks.
Before I go into my list, you should know that I feel quite picky about what I would deem good writing.
That being said, I'm not so into snobby writers or authors who write over the heads of the general populace and I'm not above reading me some good upmarket fiction.
Without further ado, here are some of authors I respect and admire the most.
For example, I love both Anthony Doerr and Sue Monk Kidd. I love the way they write. (Clearly everyone loves the way Anthony writes, Mr. Pulitzer prize.) And Oprah is on my side about Ms. Kidd. Seriously, if you haven't read their books, you must!
Garth Stein. Mr. Stein-The Art of Racing in the Rain was pure magic. I can't wait to meet you.
Jodi Picoult. Jodi and I go a long ways back. I've been reading her since before My Sister's Keeper Days. (I've been in the mood to re-read that, BTW.) Jodi-I definitely love some of your books more than other ones, but I admire so much the span and depth of your writing.
Carol Rifka Brunt. Carol, Carol. I love (love, love!) Tell the Wolves I'm Home. It is usually the first book I recommend to anyone who is looking for a good read. I can't say enough about the beauty of this book. My sister also holds this as her favourite book of all time.
Come have coffee with me? It's my treat.
We can text a photo to my sister and make her jealous.
Paula McLain. I thought about The Paris Wife for days (weeks?) after I read it. So many emotions. I think leaving a lingering sense of loss with one's audience is both powerful and impressive.
I have so many questions for you and would love to hear more about the process of writing this book from your side.
Who are your favourite modern authors and why?

Amazon putting London's hipster startups in the loft
Tech giant moves into the vapor cloud to provide tech support
Amazon is to open a support centre for AWS users in London – the first of its kind outside the company's Seattle base.
The purveyor of cloud and tat is to open a "Loft" – or tech support space to you and me – in East London in the September to support a number of tech startups.
London is apparently the obvious choice to launch outside the US, because of the number of "tech" startups it works with here – such as online takeaway outfit Just Eat. It will also open a shop in Berlin in October.
The company also has business with SwiftKey, and Citymapper. "Today, more than two thirds of the UK's startups with valuations of over a billion dollars, including Skyscanner, JustEat, Powa, Fanduel and Shazam," it said.
The cloudy seller has a number of "Lofts" in New York and San Francisco, having worked with the likes of Airbnb, Pinterest, Spotify and Hailo.
Werner Vogels, CTO and Vice President, Amazon.com said: "With the AWS Pop-up Loft in London we will be bringing together a host of AWS resources, and some of the brightest and most creative minds in the industry, to help startups across the UK."
In its second quarter results, Amazon surprised investors and analysts alike by actually posting a profit.
For the three months ending on June 30, AWS brought in $1.82bn (£1.16bn) in revenue, which was 81.5 per cent higher than in the second quarter of 2014. The division's operating income, on the other hand, was $391m, a 407.8 per cent annual gain.
According to its filing, Amazon spent $1.21bn (£770m) on purchases of property and equipment in the second quarter and a good chunk of that was likely to have gone towards building out data centres. ®

The Australian dollar initially tried to rally during the day on Wednesday, but turned around back around to form a bit of a shooting star. It looks as if we are trying to bring ourselves lower, but the hammer from the previous session on Tuesday could offer a bit of support. If we can break down below the hammer though, that would be a very negative sign. Quite frankly, we believe that we will probably rally and then show quite a bit of resistance. On the chart, you can see the 50, 100, and 200 day exponential moving averages are getting ready to roll over to a negative trend. In other words, it's likely that the longer-term downward pressure will continue. This makes a lot of sense as there seems to be a general running from risk at the moment, and of course the Australian dollar highly represents risk as it tends to follow commodity markets, as the Australians export so much gold, copper, and various other minerals.
Ultimately, rallies will have to deal with the shooting star from a couple of days ago, and then of course the 0.73 level, and the moving averages above which could start offering dynamic resistance as well. With that being the case, we have no interest in buying the Australian dollar less the gold market suddenly explodes to the upside, or if the Federal Reserve finally admits that it is not going to raise interest rates, something that is still very much in debate at the moment.
At this point in time, we believe that the Australian dollar will try to target the 0.70 level, mainly because of the psychological significance of that number. There should be support down there, so a drive down to that level will more than likely coincide with a nice bounce. As far as buying is concerned, we would have to move back above all of the moving averages, and quite frankly the 0.74 level before it seems possible as is market has seen so much in the way of selling pressure recently.

1889 Beatrice Cameron stars as Nora Helmer in the U.S. premiere of Henrik Ibsen's groundbreaking drama, A Doll's House at Palmer's Theatre.
1909 On the opening night of Clyde Fitch's play The City, the author (or someone closely resembling him) startles the opening night audience by coming on the stage and taking a bow. Why is the audience startled? Because Fitch had died some three months earlier. It goes down as one of the best-documented apparent mass ghost sightings in Broadway history. It isn't the first shock the audience gets that night. The play's themes of drugs, incest, and corruption don't cause the biggest stir; it's the line "You're a goddamn liar!" When the play tried out in New Haven, two women fainted upon hearing it.
1920 Marilyn Miller triumphs in the title role of the musical Sally, setting off a decade of musicals about put-upon maidens. Various parts of the score are written by Jerome Kern, Victor Herbert, B.G. DeSylva, Guy Bolton, and Clifford Grey. Produced by Florenz Ziegfeld, the mixture runs 561 performances at the New Amsterdam Theatre.
1933 W. Graham-Browne and Marie Tempest are The Old Folks at Home. The H. M. Harwood drama runs for 204 performances at the Queen's Theatre in London.
1934 Ode to Liberty stars Ina Claire helping a Communist who has shot at Hitler. This comedy features Walter Slezak and runs for nine weeks.
1942 Katharine Cornell opens a wartime revival of Anton Chekhov's The Three Sisters with herself as Masha, Judith Anderson as Olga, and Ruth Gordon as Natalya. Making his Broadway debut in the tiny role of The Orderly is future Hollywood star Kirk Douglas.
1950 Trying to repeat the success of Kiss Me, Kate, composer Cole Porter reassembles most of the Kate production/creative team for Out of This World, based on the Amphitryon legend. Despite pans (many for its comparably frank sexual innuendo), it manages a 157-performance run.
1961 Art Carney and Elizabeth Ashley star in Phoebe Ephron and Henry Ephron's family comedy Take Her, She's Mine, which runs 404 performances at the Biltmore Theatre.
1966 Neil Simon's slightest comedy of the 1960s, The Star-Spangled Girl opens a 261-performance run at the Plymouth Theatre. Richard Benjamin and Tony Perkins play roommates alternately in love with and repelled by their pretty but jingoistic neighbor, played by Connie Stevens.
1974 David Mamet, Patricia Cox, Steven Schachter, and William H. Macy found the St. Nicholas Theatre in Chicago, Illinois. The christening show is the wold premiere production of Mamet's American Buffalo.
1980 Crimes of the Heart by Beth Henley, about a reunion of three sisters, opens Off-Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club. Mary Beth Hurt, Mia Dillon, Julie Nesbitt, and Peter MacNicol are in the cast. The following year, the play wins the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and transfers to Broadway.
1983 Samuel E. Wright plays a father trying to keep his talented son out of show business in the Henry Krieger musical The Tap Dance Kid. Replacing Alfonso Ribeiro as the title character in mid-run is Savion Glover, making his Broadway debut at age 10. The show runs 669 performances.
2008 Dale Wasserman, who wrote the book for the 1966 Tony Award-winning musical Man of La Mancha, dies of heart failure at age 94. Wasserman also penned the stage version of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, which was based on the novel by Ken Kesey.
2008 The Druid Theatre production of Martin McDonagh's The Cripple of Inishmaan—about star-struck dreamers on an Irish island—opens Off-Broadway at the Atlantic Theater Company's Linda Gross Theater. The staging by Tony Award-winning director Garry Hynes proves to be extremely popular, with the limited run extended twice.
2010 Marcia Lewis, the brassy and beloved musical star of hit Broadway revivals of Grease (Miss Lynch) and Chicago (Matron 'Mama' Morton), dies in Tennessee, where she lived, at age 72. Additional Broadway credits included the comically evil Miss Hannigan in the original run of Annie, Rachel Halpern in the short-lived Rags, and Golde in the 1990 revival of Fiddler on the Roof.
2017 Lin-Manuel Miranda's Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical Hamilton opens in London at the Victoria Palace Theatre. The London company includes Jamael Westman as Alexander Hamilton, Giles Terera as Aaron Burr, Rachelle Ann Go as Eliza Hamilton, and Michael Jibson as King George. The production wins seven Olivier Awards, including Best New Musical.

a bloody joke!
This is the further point]]>

Yes you did Bruce.
Then your readers pointed out that those "protestors" were actually engaged in terrorism campaigns.
Then you ignored that, made no attempt to retract or even qualify your claim that this law was being misused, and continued with your biased assessment of issues relating to terrorism. As per usual.
The Fascist mindset always follows the same pattern...using fear to push for greater and greater intrusion into the privacy of citizens...and always has its roots in conservatism of one form or another...with claims that conservative "Big Brothers" are only out to protect everyone from the "bogeyman."
So, after decades during the Cold War of U.S. spy satellites being forbidden from training their high-resolution cameras on U.S. soil, why is Chertoff and DHS now claiming it is necessary to spy on U.S. citizens on U.S. soil to stop the right-wing religious terrorists?
I have a hard time believing that U.S. outer-space spy satellites will be able to detect right-wing religious terrorist sleeper cells on the ground. Prior reports indicate that suspected terrorist "sleeper" cells have been detected using ground-based surveillance...which makes a patriotic U.S. citizen wonder what the hell the Fascist Republicans actually intend on doing with high-resolution spy satellite imaging? Is this just the "higher" layer of a "total information awareness" blanket intended for the United States, with a "lower" layer being remote-controlled drone spy planes (which several police departments have reportedly shown interest in purchasing as part of a federal (Fascist)/local policing blanket?
I personally doubt that any of these overhead surveillance layers are meant to protect US from right-wing religious terrorists or to try to stop a right-wing attack like 9/11. Fascist Republicans and conservatives in general, including a few conservative Democrats, are literally trying to lock-down our freedom-loving nation and turn US into a maximum-security prison...with all these "law-abiding" right-wingers being the jailers.
I expect die-hard, properly-brainwashed right-wingers to fall for this crap, but I hope that independents and liberals see through this "national security" smokescreen. and see the fascism lurking behind. Their children and grand-children are counting on them.]]>
But it's funny how everyone tells you they might be recording the phonecalls to a call centre, and BT have been cheerfully testing Phorm without telling the customers whose web browsing they record.
You are correct, and that falls under "information relating to communications".
There are some further restrictions on what data they can request, but this is one of the bits I am not entirely familiar with.
I do not agree with this section of RIPA, I don't see why your local council should be able to request your browsing history or call records without a warrant.]]>
How much strong is the elettra-algorithm ?]]>
Point of information: it's currently 28, which is the compromise reached by Blair after 90 days was shot down. You're right though that Brown is hoping for 42.
Good news recently is that the Labour rebels who are going to vote against it seem pretty confident that they have the numbers to stop it. At least that's what one of the rebels, Dianne Abbot, said. The question is whether the Labour whip can/will bring enough pressure to bear to flip any of them.
I think it's pretty clear what's going on here. The government and police want to be able to detain suspects for as long as they possibly can - there's nothing magical about 14 days, or 28, or 42, or 90. Once someone is charged, police powers to question them end, so the issue is how long you have after the point of arrest to conduct further investigations, and question the suspect based on the results of those investigations.
So, since the government wants "as long as possible", it's pretty obvious that they will propose a further extension every time they think they can get it. In this case it looks as though they misjudged the mood, but we'll see. There'll quite likely be another round in another couple of years, and then possibly again under the next government, whoever that is. The threat of internment powers is ongoing.
If the opposition and the rebels had guts, they wouldn't just block the 42-day extension, they'd also be proposing amendments to put it back down from 28 to 14 days. That might lead to the amusing spectacle of the government whipping the party against its own (amended) bill...
I don't doubt that terrorism was mentioned at some point during its passage through parliament. But it was passed in early 2000, before anyone in the UK knew or cared about Islamic terrorism. Paedophiles were the devil back then, and they were indeed evoked to support RIPA.
The main selling points as I remember them were that it was necessary to deal with organised crime and online crime. And, especially, organised online crime. But it provides a general framework for surveillance and comms interception (hence the name: Regulation of Investigatory Powers Act).
The main criticism at the time was that the powers granted were excessive: clauses initially unenacted included mandatory registration of all security professionals, a police power to demand encryption passwords from suspects and to gag them to prevent them warning accomplices, and the granting of new surveillance powers to local authorities and other government bodies not involved with serious crime.
The fact that it grants these powers to local authorities is the clue that it has nothing to do with terrorism - Poole local council has not and never will investigate international terrorist organisations, and nobody ever claimed or thought that it would.
So, this is not a surprise (at least in the UK) except to those with short memories, and is nothing to do with terrorism hype. RIPA was always intended to allow little-league investigators, such as those working for local authorities, to use the toys designed for the big boys, and that was never hidden.
You'll note that the BBC article says "laws to track criminals and terrorists". It's a sneaky trick by them, and Bruce (along with many others) has fallen for it. We naturally assume that "criminals and terrorists" must mean that the powers involved were intended only for use against the worst of the worst, and that some deception must therefore have occurred. But fraud is a crime - falsely declaring your address in order to get preference at a particular school is a crime - and RIPA was designed to allow heavy-handed tactics against suspects of such crimes. Which is what has happened here. No deception was involved, just overbearing government.
"Gosport borough council in Hampshire said yesterday that it was currently using Ripa for an undercover investigation into dog fouling..."
Actually, I don't have a problem with this. Dog fouling is a significant and persistant problem especially where I live. I would welcome my local council being as proactive as Gosport and performing such investigations (fat chance!) Our council has one dog warden for the entire borough!
Performing such surveillance sounds to me like an ideal way of ensuring that local byelaws on dog fouling are complied with. Does anyone have any better ways?
I'd love to see more prosecutions of people who fail to clear up their dog mess. If this is one way of achieving this end and making dog owners more responsible, then so be it.]]>
The major sections of RIPA fall into three categories.
Covert Surveillance - This is the use of directed, covert surveillance. There are a number of justifications, including national security, prevention and detection of crime, public safety or health and collection of taxes. Covert Surveillance is mainly used by Local Authorities against fly tipping, council tax dodgers etc. Note that intrusive surveillance (ie surveillance of the interior of a home or private vehicle), can mainly only be carried out in the interests of national security (intel), prevention of serious crime (coppers), and in the interest of the economic well being of the UK(intel again).
Surveillance must be necessary and proportionate. In the case of the school application, I would be highly doubtful about whether the surveillance is necessary (there were plenty of other avenues available) or proportionate (covert surveillance was serious overkill for potential abuse of the school application process).
Interception of Communications - Basically Law Enforcement and Intelligence Agencies only, this sets out the requirements for a warrant etc. This is the section quoted by Moz above, and is entirely irrelevant in this case.
There are also sections around collection of information relating to communications, and the use of Covert Human Intelligence Sources (snitches). But I am not going into that.
An example of where RIPA does or does not apply would be a CCTV camera. An advertised CCTV camera on the street is not covert, therefore RIPA does not apply. If someone is robbed or attacked, and the CCTV camera is used to track the perpetrators location (yeah right), RIPA does not apply (while this is directed surveillance, it is an immediate response to unforseen events or circumstances). If however, you plan to use that CCTV camera to watch a particular person, doorway, building, whatever, RIPA does apply, and authorisation is required.
RIPA actually sets out some valuable rules around when surveillance can be performed. That said, I think the law has some serious failings, particularly around enforcement. Breaching RIPA gets you a slap on the wrist, the consequences should be more severe.]]>
But it's not clear how much difference RIPA made in this case - I've seen claims that pre-RIPA, the council could have done the same thing, just without filling in the RIPA forms.]]>
And there we have it: "Think of the children!11!"
It's supposed intent was to set up a legal framework by which covert survielance and wiretapping would be regulated to protect "persons legal or natural".
In actuality what it has done is open the eyes of the entities with permision to snoop under RIPA to what they are alowed to do. Where as previously the majority would not have snooped through fear of legal action.
If people in the UK think far enough back they will remeber that the person sponsering the bill through parliment was "David Blunket" the then Home Office Minister. When the public preasure became to great to ignor he supposedly had a conversation with his son and removed a number of "entities" of the list of those permited to snoop.
For those unfortunate entities not on the list we would be commiting criminal activity if we did snoop.
One perhaps unforseen consiquence of RIPA is that it might be used against those wishing to push content related advertising at Internet users in the UK irespective of where the adverts are pushed from in the world.
The reason I say unforseen is that the marketing industry did not lobby about RIPA and the current UK government is usually loath to pass any legislation that might affect their future employment prospects in the comercial world. And marketing is possibly the biggest business of all these days.
This "unfortunate consiquence" will if somebody has large enough "private parts" make for interesting case law.
If you look on cryptome you will find a released analysis document by the UK Home Office.]]>
I like the one you left out:
(d) for the purpose, in circumstances appearing to the Secretary of State to be equivalent to those in which he would issue a warrant by virtue of paragraph (b), of giving effect to the provisions of any international mutual assistance agreement.
In other words, if interpol, the FBI or CIA asked him to.
However, all that section relates to interception of mail or email. I'm not sure how it relates to photographing pooping dogs. Perhaps that act is covered later in the Act ...]]>
And a part of that cost should come directly out of the police commissioner's and the minister of the police's pay.]]>
Obviously a really heinous crime !!
(a) in the interests of national security;
(b) for the purpose of preventing or detecting serious crime;
(c) for the purpose of safeguarding the economic well-being of the United Kingdom; or
Of those, the only obvious one is that other parents might be terrorised that their child will lose his/her school place so section a) must apply and the use of RIPA is easy to justify.
* http://www.opsi.gov.uk/acts/acts2000/ukpga_20000023_en_2]]>
The school in question (we looked at it once, but instead moved into another area) is very good, but certainly not worth buying a £300,000 house for (that's $600,000 USD)]]>
"If this change in the law gets through, it will be subject to function creep, just like RIPA."
Can you name a type of law that is not subject to function creep?
Are the animal rights activists being investigated under RIPA suspected of being the body snatchers?
Should all the Queen's subjects cede their civil liberties so that body snatchers and kitten huffers can more expeditiously be brought to justice?]]>
That said, animal rights has quite a different slant in the UK. Two years ago, four animal rights campaigners were jailed for exhuming and stealing the deceased grandmother of an opponent.
But only for "terrorist suspects" which currently appears to mean dark skinned and/or Islamic people. Which has both "false negatives", people who fit this profile, but who are of no danger to the public (including those who might imagine they are, but lack the competence actually be) and "false negatives", people who in no way fit this profile but are of extreme to the public.
@Nomen Publicus
Spokesdroids for the government are making all kinds of claims about terrorist activity and the difficulty of decrypting the contents of computers belonging to suspects yet they are unable to present ANY evidence to back up their claims.
The claim is a non sequitur. Such difficulties could could occur in a wide variety of criminal cases. They are also likely to not be present in all cases related to terrorism. Not all terrorism involves complex conspiracy nor do all terrorists store their plans on computers.
"Gosport borough council in Hampshire said yesterday that it was currently using Ripa for an undercover investigation into dog fouling. Council officers equipped with digital cameras and binoculars are spying on dog walkers.
Chris Davis, the council's head of internal audit, said: "We have strategically placed members of our enforcement team to blend in with the natural environment and observe people walking dogs. They are using digital cameras to get hard evidence. Dog fouling is a real issue and in this case it is happening close to a leisure facility where children play."
Stoke-on-Trent city council said it used Ripa to investigate "illegal building work", while several councils have put cameras in tins and piles of twigs to catch fly-tippers."

It should be obvious that whenever you set up a provision that lets police shortcut civil liberties in "emergency situations," there will soon be an immediate proliferation of "emergencies." But politicians never seem to learn this oft-repeated lesson. That's theoretically why we have a Constitution in the United States, although that doesn't mean much when the Unitary Executive decides it doesn't apply to him-- and we let him get away with it out of fear.]]>
3 years, 5 years, whatever.
That way the political creatures can "justify" their existence by passing/killing old laws.
Instead, they "need" to keep passing MORE laws to "prove" that they're "doing something" about whatever it is they think will look good in the media.]]>
Spokesdroids for the government are making all kinds of claims about terrorist activity and the difficulty of decrypting the contents of computers belonging to suspects yet they are unable to present ANY evidence to back up their claims.
If this change in the law gets through, it will be subject to function creep, just like RIPA.
That sounds like a good thing to keep in mind when we advocate passing a BroadLaw.

Really? Thor?
Here now for a moment of brightness in a day filled with grim news and controversey: This video from Leigh Lahav and Tom Trager that reimagines Thor: The Dark World as an episode of Arrested Development. Mileage can vary on this kind of thing, but they've got the beats and rhythms of an Arrested Development episode down pat.

Sunday Stash: Anita's Quilt
Hello! Greetings from Oregon, the land of grey and mud colors! My DEAR niece, Anita wants a quilt. And since the holiday rush is over and I need a project, I asked her what she wants. She wants a chevron quilt...in grey :( with one stripe of green... So, being the best auntie ever, I went to my local quilt show knowing she had just received a nice selection of fabrics in grey. And here they are:

Very cool aunty indeed! Oh, I love that silly kitten thing. Too cute!ReplyDelete
Love your little glass guy at the end.ReplyDelete

Just last week, Rangers skipper Jeff Banister made the announcement that all of his starting pitchers would be pitching on an extra day of rest through the month of May since they have the next four Thursdays off.
A.J. Griffin's injury over the weekend will change that, which might be unfortunate but it also means if there was ever a time for Griffin to hit the disabled list, it's now.
Essentially, Banister will be able to go with a four-man rotation through May until either a) Yu Darvish returns or b) he needs a spot start, at which point he'd probably call upon Cesar Ramos, who was good in a spot start for Cole Hamels a couple of weeks ago.
Griffin is 3-0 with a 2.94 ERA this season in his six starts. In those outings, the Rangers are 5-1 as a club.
Griffin has been a revelation for the Rangers after he missed all of 2014 and 2015 following Tommy John surgery. In 2013, Griffin won 14 games with the Oakland A's, who designated him for assignment in November.

This is somewhat of a double posting from the studio, but not completely cut and pasted per-se. It really hasn't seemed like a "long" winter here at Prairie Hill Farm. Georgie and I have been extremely busy and that helps, doesn't it? But the Tallgrass has been on my mind nearly every moment, I just can't, nor want to shake it.
My seed from last year's harvest is waiting patiently to stoke up the road ditch this spring. I wanted to get it in last fall but the weather was very uncooperative! I hope this spring planting works as well as the last...sometimes I find the fall seeding to come out the best.
Most of my time has been spent painting or drawing the prairie, and doing studio business. This summer I have a solo exhibit over in Spencer at Arts on Grand, I'll send out more info on that down the road. It has put me under the gun to produce this winter; the exhibit title is "From the Tallgrass" and I'm working with the prairie as I have the past several years.
"Tallgrass Songster"
8X18" color pencil rendering

(click on image for a larger view)
I finally finished a piece that is about the third attempt to an idea I first got 6-7 years ago. The "star" of this drawing is a male Dickcissel belting out it's name, in song form, among the Tallgrass Prairie in bloom. The bird is taken from a study I did, which is now in the permanent "drawing collection" of the Leigh Yawkey Woodson Art Museum in Wausau, Wisconsin. I have been trying to find a "home" for my study and this is my first "finished" attempt to see if I have! The foreground is a mix of forbs in a prairie remnant near us that Georgie and I often explore. The Echinacea (purple coneflowers) are of our county's true native population - Echinacea angustifolia, or "Narrow-leaved Purple Coneflower". The male Dickcissel is proudly belting out it's name, the call from which the bird was named (virtually sounds like Dick, Dick, cissel). This is a larger piece for me with color pencil...I find the medium can be exasperating at times and generally stick with small studies instead...but I persevered and finished it this week.
"The Ritter Elevator"
11X19" oil painting
© Bruce A. Morrison
(click on image for a larger view)
Another work finished earlier, was an oil painting that was "kind of" different for me; it was a commissioned work done for a client commemorating (if-you-will) her trips to the grain elevator with her father, back when she was a child. The elevator is one I'm very familiar with, have driven past and around it for 30+ years. What I didn't know were some of the history and stories behind the "Ritter Elevator" - was fun to research and depict the elevator during the early 1950's! The red IH box truck was my client's father's truck. I took the rest of the vehicles from the area and other sources...the red tractor is my neighbor's father's Farmall "M" and their flarebox wagon (did repaint that a different color though). I do like doing work depicting the agricultural environment/landscape and felt this was actually a good fit. I've said it before and will likely again - the Tallgrass Prairie made this state what it is today and without that natural heritage, we would not have that "black gold" the prairie gave us - the soil. After handing the painting over to it's new owner, I asked her if I could have permission to share it with you here - she was very happy to!
My first "Morrison's Studio Newsletter" (Vol.1, No.1) went out this week! If you'd like to sign up for it, there's a link to the form right along the sidebar to this blog...if you get this blog via e-mail you can go directly to the form by way of this link -
The Tallgrass up here is still under snow and ice! I'll just keep working on it here in the studio...makes the time I can be outside all day come quicker! Hope yours is thawing and growing soon!
See ya on the Tallgrass!

The xst Date I pickup from your place of employment in a helicopter. No that won't work: I think disciplines and crafts stores inside the state of California are strict "No Fly on an airline Zones", so you will need to pick me upwards instead. You find out I'm allergic to help you horse hair, so your reliable stead Buddy will have to remain in typiy the stable. You are going to have to pick me up when using the public transportation structure. I'm really, truly rich, but you actually pay my mci motor coach fare anyway. Thanks, you're very sugary. I can inform you are into my family. I make comments about your hair and your clothes. I'm a little clumsy within my words, so in the beginning you can't indicate to if I'm actually complimenting you or hinting I have the fabric allergy. I'm looking you within the eyes and cheerful while I claim it, so you figure it's my means of telling you you could be lovely. You're going to blush... but there is no time! There's a bomb around the bus!! It's planning to explode if the bus goes a lot less than xmph. Given your quite a few years of training being a Nascar announcer you take hold of the wheel not to mention kick the accelerater to your floor. Given my boyhood experience like a pirate jewel smuggler and additionally National cheerleading titles I needless to say act as a person's navigator... wait we can't do this for our first date. I believe was a Sandra Bullock picture, "Titanic" or something similar to that. We'll need to start over. I'd like our date being equally exciting, but by no means remind me regarding Keanu Reeves and Leanardo Dicaprio. Guess we're not likely to the movies. Let's go somewhere having a roof top observe, fresh drinks plus soft music. We'll meetanother there. This way we don't have to coordinate rides - given what essentially happened last point in time this just appears safer. We'll devote our time conversing about future travel plans, past favored holidays or exactly why our parents never sent us towards summer camp. When the conversation goes boring I promise to jump over rooftop to never be viewed by you once again. Thankfully it isn't going to. We keep communicating. You start flirting with me by talking about a popular non-sex positions. I will tell you the fact this is an odd way for you to flirt with people; in the moment though it's somewhat cute and you've got a quirky way about you well, i don't consider it again weird. I want it. I'm built for voyage. I'd like to meet up with someone built for your same. If this really is y ou, your attention, or you're just simply bored reply. Many thanks.

My oh my!
The Hot Rockin' Hubby took me to see Trace Adkins and Toby Keith
in concert for my birthday.
We sat in the 8th row!!!!
In the spirit of "music appreciation",
I must tell you all that Trace Adkins is a might fine specimen!
Oh man!
I mean, he has NOTHING on my Hot Rockin' Hubby,
but he was very, very fine to look at!
And yes, I cried, like I always do,
when he sang "You're gonna miss this."
I love that song!
And then when it was Toby's turn, he showed up on stage in a
sawed-in-half Ford F-150!
It was crazy!
Now, I am a bigger Trace fan than I am a Toby fan,
Toby was incredible!!
And Don, being the audio geek that he is,
had to take pictures of the monstrously huge sound board.
We had a wonderful wonderful wonderful time!
Thank you Hubby!
Earlier in the day, we met my parents up in Truckee,
for lunch, cake and to get my mom's sewing machine.
And they gave me a yummy chocolate cake!
It was sooooo good!
And we got some cute pics of the grands and their girls.
After that, we drove home to get Ahnalin to her swimming lessons on time.
And then Don and I headed out to the concert!
And then yesterday, I treated myself to
the most luxurious and blissful pedicure at Bon Bon Salon.
Oh wow!
It was aromatherapy, leg massage, and pedicure all in one!
Pure heaven!
Pure heaven!
I know it is goofy, but I had to have lime green polish.
I LOVE lime green and I love my pretty toes.
I LOVE lime green and I love my pretty toes.
When I got home,
Ahnalin begged to have matching lime green toes.
Ahnalin begged to have matching lime green toes.
I just happened to have lime green polish in my purse,
so I dolled her up as well.
I asked India if she wanted her toes green too and she said she is
waiting for her own pedicure.......
Hmmmmmm her birthday is in September.
Maybe I should treat us to mother/daughter pedicures.
Whatcha think?
I had better get back to sewing.
I have to turn in my fair entries this week
and I am running behind due to the broken machine.
Thank you all for the birthday wishes.
I tried to send "thank you" replies but many of you do not
have your email address listed on your profiles, so the
replies did not go through.
So, if you did not get a "thank you" from me, that is the reason.
So Thank YOU from me.
Off to sew I go!
