2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Sonos PLAY:3
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Features, Music, Portable Audio / Video, Men, Techies, Under $500,
We're music fans here at Gear Live (seriously, check out the Gear Live Rdio channel!) so we wanna make sure to include great music gadgets in our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide. This year, we're kicking it off with the Sonos PLAY:3. If you're unfamiliar with Sonos, it's basically the best way to get music from just about any location (your computer, your iPhone, the web, the cloud, etc.) to play in any room in your house. It's super intuitive, and even years after using Sonos, the technology still blows us away. The Sonos PLAY:3 is a wireless all-in-one music system that lets you jump right into the Sonos experience. If you have an iOS or Android device, you can download the Sonos remote control app, and you can also control the system with a computer using the Sonos Desktop Controller. Here are some other Sonos products that go nicely with the Sonos PLAY:3, which itself you can get for $299 from Sonos, or order from Amazon and get a free Sonos Bridge included with purchase!
You can use a pair of Play:3 or Play:5 units to create wide stereo sound as well!

2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Amazon Kindle Fire
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Teens, Under $250, Under $500,
We continue our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide with the Amazon Kindle Fire tablet. Why the Fire, and not the Kindle Fire HD? While the HD is a fine tablet in its own right, the price of the regular Kindle Fire is just right--especially if you buy quickly! As it turns out, Amazon is selling the Kindle Fire at a 20% discount for the next 3 hours (or until it runs out of stock, whichever comes first!) Amazon's looking to disrupt the tablet landscape with the Fire, and is pricing the Fire aggressively at $129 during this sale.
Purchasers of the Kindle Fire also get a 30-day trial of Amazon Prime, which'll let you get a nice sampling of what the company's Video on Demand service offers. Other services you can access from the Fire include Amazon's Android Appstore, Kindle books, a host of magazines, Cloud Drive, Cloud Player, and the Amazon MP3 service.
You can pick up a Kindle Fire now for $129 on Amazon. If you miss the sale, it's still a good deal at its regular $159 price.
Honorable Mention: Kindle Fire HD - $199

We've hit you with a bunch of gadgets in our 2012 Holiday Gift Guide this year, but don't think we forgot about the readers out there. One of the books that we recommend this year is Cooking for Geeks. Written by Jeff Potter, the book not only includes great tasting recipes, but it focuses on the science of cooking, and includes a bunch of kitchen hacks to actually teach cooking instead of just recipes to follow. It's loaded with info, and is worthy of being gifted to your favorite geek this hoiday season. It's available in paperback, as well as on Kindle. You can get it now from Amazon for $20.23, which is a 42% discount.

2012 Holiday Gift Guide: Amazon Kindle Paperwhite
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Handhelds, Women, Men, Techies, Under $250, Under $500,
The next item in Gear Live's 2012 Holiday Gift Guide is the Kindle Paperwhite. Why? well, as great as e-ink readers have been (and they've been pretty stellar,) since the original Amazon Kindle was released, their one tragic flaw has been that they become pretty useless in the dark. You either simply can't read them, or have to use a small light attachment accessory. Enter the Kindle Paperwhite. Amazon has designed what we consider to be the best e-ink reader to hit the market. It's flagship feature is the front-lit display, which works great when you're in the dark and want to read your latest ebook purchase without using a backlit tablet that's hard on the eyes, or an awkward clip-on light accessory. It also supports new features like telling you how much reading time you have before you finish your current chapter, and an all-touch display with virtually no lag. Check out our Kindle Paperwhite review, unboxing gallery, and video after the break for more, and head on over to Amazon to pick up the Kindle Paperwhite for $119 for that bookworm in your life.
Honorable mention: Nook Simple Touch with GlowLight

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Apple, Handhelds, Techies, Teens, Under $250, Under $500,

2011 Holiday Gift Guide: Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Features, Home Entertainment, PC / Laptop, Family, Techies, Under $100, Under $500,
The Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB is one of the cooler items we're featuing in our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide. It basically turns your computer into a fully-functional live TV DVR. We know that features like Media Center exist on PCs, but the problem is that, until now, it's been hard to get a good signal into your computer. The InfiniTV 4 USB fixes that. It's a CableCARD adapter that plugs into your machine using USB. So all you need to do is insert a CableCARD from your cable provider, plug in your cable cord, and plug in to your computer. From there, you'll have access to all of the cable channels that you subscribe to, and you can record up to four different channels at once. See? We told you this was cool. Great for rooms where you only have a computer and no television, but also great if you want to incorporate a Mac or PC into your home theater setup, as it eliminates the need for a cable box, meaning you save on that montly rental fee. The Ceton InfiniTV 4 USB sells for $299, but you can get one on Amazon for $269, saving yourself 10%.
2011 Holiday Gift Guide: Eye-Fi Pro X2
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Accessories, Cameras, Features, Techies, Under $100, Under $250, Under $500,
We bet a few of you are wondering what an SD card is doing on our 2011 Holiday Gift Guide, but give us a moment to explain. Eye-Fi cards are the bomb. What you're getting here is freedom and convenience, as these cards will sync and upload the content stored on them without the need for a cable. In other words, put this thing into a camera and snap away. When you get back home to your Wi-Fi network, the images will be transferred to your computer right over the network, over the air. You can also optionally tell it that you'd also like the images uploaded to your favorite social network, like, say, Facebook. Even better? Your images get geotagged too by the Eye-Fi card. These things are straight up awesome, and you can get one on Amazon for $88 (a 17% discount.)

So tweet
So any big plans for the weekend? I've got things to do and people to see and it's all good. I'm happy to say that my week is ending on a much better note than it started. A small part of that is the happy mail that my awesome mail lady brought yesterday... my pre-order of the 12 new Copic colors are here, yeah! I'm a total marker geek because I couldn't wait to print out a new color chart and get it all filled in so that it would be ready the next time I sat down to work on an image. Even geekier... I've already started putting together a wish list of the next colors I would love to see Copic come out with. I know, it's terrible! What can I say, I'm slightly obsessed! :)
Ok, ok, on to my card... I couldn't resist printing out another of the super cute new Wryn digi stamps from Tiddly Inks. This one is Wryn and wren too tweet and boy are they ever! I was actually organizing and putting paper away when I came across this scrap of October Afternoon that I had used on a previous card last month and as soon as I saw it knew what this card's 'story' would be. Wryn is a cute little farm girl who is out watching the chicks hatch on an early spring day. And I even found this cluster of eggs stamp in an old Verve Easter set that was the perfect accent, though I did create the cracked egg by altering the largest egg and cutting it apart. Wryn's dress is paper pieced with that fab grey plaid... I know, more grey and yellow, but it's so pretty and I'm embracing the trend! ;)
Alrighty, well thanks for dropping by and take it easy my friends. Tomorrow I've got a brand new SN Spotlight to share with you which will be kicking off February previews at ATS... exciting! Hope to see ya then!

Miley Cyrus has given Lil Kim's rap protege Tiffany Foxx a huge publicity boost after filming a cameo appearance in her new video.
The former Disney star reached out to Foxx on Twitter.com recently to reveal she was a fan and the pair appears to have hit it off, even exchanging private messages via the social networking website.
Foxx invited her new pal to make an appearance in the promo for her Lil Kim duet Twisted and Cyrus took her up on the offer, showing up on the Hollywood Hills set on Sunday to meet the aspiring star face-to-face, reports AllHipHop.com.
Photos from the video shoot have since surfaced online, with Cyrus, dressed in black and white striped pants, posing for pictures alongside a dolled up Foxx and Kim.

When my Dad died it fell to me to sort out his online presence. I sat down at his fancy HP Touch Screen Media Centre monstrosity and promptly demonstrated why full disk encryption is so vital.
Within 5 minutes I had full access to his computer, and everything on it. This included Outlook Express, which dutifully connected to his email account using the credentials it had handily stored away. 30 minutes later and I owned almost his entire digital life.
Once you have access to someones email, you have access to a huge number of websites they're registered with. Don't know the password? No problem, we'll handily email you a link to reset it to something you do know via an email sent to the compromised account you now own. Oh goody!
But that's OK, no one is going to steal your computer and get access to your email client. Maybe not (although you might just want to enable full disk encryption, just in case), but then perhaps someone like TalkTalk will slip up and release account details which give them access to your email – because, hey, remembering lots of passwords is hard and what's the harm in using the same password everywhere?
Now lets just pretend that companies like TalkTalk need to suddenly start storing lots more personal information because the government said so. What's going to happen here? Are you going to get a well architected, well implemented system with security being on of the basic tenants of its design? Or are they just going to ram something into production that does what's required and then forget about it?
What we're talking about is a data store that does nothing for the company's business model, makes them no money, and is a cost to build and maintain. It'll also be a treasure trove that hackers will want to target, if only to say they did. I have very little doubt that the whole thing will furnish me with a sequel to my talk on massive cockups in IT.
And this data store does what? It allows you to pin some extra evidence on the sloppy who, lets face it, probably have made enough mistakes to be convicted anyway. Anyone with half a clue and nefarious intentions can easily sidestep this store, flood it with spurious data, or both. Incidentally, anyone with half a clue and perfectly honest intentions can also sidestep the store. It's very hard to tell the difference.
But it's just metadata! Yeah… putting the word "meta" in front of it doesn't make it OK. Happy for me to see your browsing history? Of course you are, you've got nothing to hide! What if I told you I could also see all those sites you went to in that incognito window you had open last night? Not so great any more is it? Still happy to hand over "metadata"? Then consider this: if the data is the results of your STD test, then the metadata is that you've had a test in the first place. I could go on.
It's also dangerous. So perhaps your browser connects to a compromised server because someone has injected a malicious advert into an innocuous page you're browsing. Perhaps that server also contains material the authorities deem to be something you shouldn't be looking at. They now have proof that you were looking at it, but no context as to why. You're simply the victim of a drive-by download, but the metadata convicts you of viewing forbidden data. Don't try to argue, it's all there in the logs, we know you're guilty.
But it stops the terrorists! Ah yes, that old chestnut. We must all make sacrifices to our liberties, and to our rights so that we can Maintain Our Way Of Life, because otherwise The Terrorists Win. There is a brutal irony there. The only way it could get more ironic is if it's the terrorists who hack all this data and use it for nefarious purposes… you honestly couldn't make this stuff up.
Anyway, on a totally unrelated topic, who can recommend me a good VPN and some strong cryptography packages?

Trail nix III: Busted blades on Bland
Some people were angry about the brush pile that a Bland Circle resident erected over the portion of the Rivanna Trail that once crossed her property, but they were helpless to change the situation. But now the City itself has stepped in to force the resident to remove the gleaming spirals of wire. Enforcement, however, may not happen anytime soon.
Two weeks ago, when The Hook first reported on the 30-foot stretch of razor wire, City officials believed that Shirley Presley, the woman behind it, was not only endangering animals and people who might wander past, she was breaking the law.
Section 5-152 of the Charlottesville City Code allows razor wire (or any other barbed wire) only on commercial properties, and only at a height of six feet or higher. Violating this section constitutes a Class I misdemeanor, punishable by a $2,500 fine and/or one year in jail.
At just two feet above ground, Presley's concertina wire is waist height for a child and head or chest height for the many animals that could attempt to pass through.
That caught the attention of People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
"An animal could be mortally wounded if an artery was severed," said Stephanie Boyles, a wildlife biologist with the animal rights organization. "What a hideous device."
After making the trek down the steep hill behind Bland Circle, inspectors seemed to agree, and found that Presley's fence was indeed a violation.
A certified letter has now been sent, and City inspector Patty Wolfred says her office has confirmation that the letter was received.
Presley has been waging battle with hikers for over a year– after a local trail group directed people over the riverfront portion of her property without permission. Presley did not return the Hook's phone calls by press time.
But receipt of the City's letter doesn't mean Presley must act quickly. In fact, she has six months to remove her wire before any fines are levied. Should Presley fail to remove the wire by the end of the six-month period, Wolfred says, each day it remains up constitutes a separate offense.
But six months seems like an awfully long time when safety's an issue.
"The City should step in now and make her replace the razor wire with regular fencing," says activist Kevin Cox. "I don't know why they're dawdling."
Wolfred says the city has its hands tied.
"We have to give her her due process," she explains.

After watching the recent Docrafts & Beaders Companion shows where they demo'd Shamballa style bracelets, I was inspired to have a try myself. Wanting to add my own spin to the concept I created a book tie.
Materials Used
- Waxed cotton cord 2mm thick
- Note book is a Daler Rowney sketch book
I find book ties helpful in keeping a page, like a book mark. For keeping a book closed, and for holding pages in place while you are sketching on location.
In place of beads I tied Chinese Button knots on the ends of the cords.
Hope you like it, it was quick to make and perhaps I'll make some of these for Christmas gifts.
Best wishes and thanks for reading, see you soon
Billie 🙂

Actress Neve Campbell is happy she waited until later in life to become a mother because she feels "very confident" and "comfortable" as a parent in her late-30s.
The "Scream" star, 39, and actor partner J.J. Feild secretly welcomed son Caspian last year, but Campbell only confirmed the news and the tot's name during an appearance on "The Talk" over the holidays.
Now, Campbell has opened up about her experiences of motherhood, insisting she is "really glad" she took her time in falling pregnant.
She tells parenting website CelebrityBabyScoop.com, "I am absolutely loving being a mother! Caspian is such a beautiful little soul and we are madly in love. Anything that is exhausting is well worthwhile. It's been a beautiful experience. … I am lucky.
"Being a mother, I feel that I have come into my own in a way. I think any woman will be a little nervous about whether they are capable of raising a child. I am really glad I waited until the age that I am at.
"I feel very confident with him, very comfortable with what we're doing, and with the decisions we are making. It has been such a beautiful experience, and it makes other things far less important. I think that's a great thing."

ATHENS (Reuters) - Greece has yet to decide what price to offer bondholders under a debt buyback plan that is central to a bailout deal with international lenders, but the price is likely to vary depending on the bond, a Greek finance official said on Thursday.
Questions have arisen over whether Athens will attract enough interest from bondholders, who have the choice of whether or not to participate in a deal that is needed to ensure Greek debt is deemed sustainable in the coming decade.
The deal, clinched at the third attempt after weeks of wrangling, removes the biggest risk of a sovereign default in the euro zone for now, ensuring the near-bankrupt country stays afloat. The terms of the buyback will determine its success.
"It makes sense for it to happen in that way," the senior official told Reuters when asked if the 20 eligible Greek bonds would be offered at different prices rather than at a uniform price.
Still, the official said that the government had yet to finalize the terms of the buyback, which are expected to be announced next week. Under the plan, Greece aims to cut its overall indebtedness by buying back bonds for less than it would have to pay if its creditors held them to maturity.
Prices of Greek bonds eligible under the buyback ranged from 25.15 euro cents to 34.41 cents at the close of trading on November 23, according to Reuters data.
Greece's lenders agreed this week the bonds would not be offered at a price higher than the closing price on that date. The bonds have a nominal value of 63 billion euros.
Athens is expected to use 10 billion euros from its rescue package to buy back around 30 billion euros worth of debt, cutting its outstanding obligations by around 20 billion euros.
The official played down any suggestion that Athens could use unexpectedly high demand in the buyback to spend even more than the 10 billion euros of bailout money to cut debt further, saying: "This is a luxury we do not have."
Athens must complete the bond buybacks by December 13 to receive more than 30 billion euros in bailout payments that the euro zone and the International Monetary Fund have withheld.
If Greece manages to buy back 30 billion euros of bonds, it would cut its debt level by 11 percentage points of gross domestic product by 2020.
That is about half the debt reduction Greece is supposed to achieve by that date under the accord struck earlier this week, with the rest coming from a package of debt relief measures and privatization revenues.
Deutsche Bank DKBGn.DE will be the lead manager of the bond buyback deal, with Morgan Stanley (MS.N) as deal manager, a senior official previously told Reuters.
Athens has said it is vital that the bond buyback scheme is successful, but skepticism has lingered that it will fail to draw enough interest from Greek banks and pensions funds who stand to lose from the deal.
Greek banks - whose shares fell 17 percent in the two days following Tuesday's announcement of a debt buyback - are estimated to hold nearly 17 billion euros of Greek bonds, while Greek pension funds hold roughly 8 billion euros.
One Greek banker said all the nation's banks were likely to take part in the buyback, especially since they themselves are awaiting recapitalization funds from Greece's next aid tranche.
"I expect that all Greek banks will participate," the banker said. "The buyback plan failing would sink the prices of the (Greek) bonds they hold."
However, the head of the country's biggest pension fund IKA-ETAM, which holds Greek bonds worth 800 million euros, on Thursday told Reuters that the fund had not yet decided whether it would participate in the bond buyback plan.
A repurchase price at about 35 cents on the euro is seen as a golden investment opportunity for hedge funds which have bought Greek bonds at rock-bottom prices.
A Greek finance ministry official and independent private analysts have said that hedge funds might hold as much as 25 billion euros of Greek bonds bought at very low prices.
Adding to the pressure on Athens, Moody's said the Greek deal struck this week offered relief to the liquidity-starved economy but warned that the country's debt burden remained unsustainable and that the buyback plan could be unsuccessful.
"It is uncertain whether there will be sufficient participation in the buyback process to contribute to a meaningful debt reduction," the ratings agency said in a report.

This is a great resource for anyone who's serious about getting lean, fit, and muscular, while eating a healthy diet and having time left over to enjoy life.

"Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is the guide to transformation you've been looking for. Tom Venuto tackles the complexity of the human psyche in such a simplistic way it makes you question 'Why didn't I know this before!?' When you combine that with his nondogmatic and scientific approach to the physical techniques of fat loss and training, you have the makings of a classic 'must own' book. And that is what Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is: an instant classic."
—Leigh Peele, author of Fat Loss Troubleshoot and Starve Mode
"As a strength coach and fitness blogger Burn the Fat, Feed the Muscle is a breath of fresh air. It's not full of hype.

In my devotion to McElroy's projects I went far, to obsession some would say. But who can say what's normal, insane? I read all the interviews and essays I found referenced. In these interviews, I found myself crossing numerous references to texts and authors that were totally unknown to me. I had to know more, had to read more. Tom LeClair's interview with McElroy and the essay 'Neural Neighborhoods…' are both rife with mentions of marginal works, which I chronicle here. The list appears below, the source key follows.
Avid readers of McElroy will find the following a handy resource for tracking the literary background against which McElroy sees himself. Where I can, I provide a few notes about the work in question.
Source key
NN="Neural Neighborhoods and Other Concrete Abstracts" (1974 essay by McElroy)
JC=Joshua Cohen's audio conversation with McElroy for a Triple Canopy event
SS="Socrates on the Shore" (2002 essay by McElroy in Substances, Revue Francaise d'Études Américaines 93: 7-20.)
ACH=Tom LeClair's interview (in Anything Can Happen: Interviews with Contemporary American Novelists; This book includes interviews with Stanley Elkin, William Gass, Don Delillo, E.L. Doctorow, Toni Morrison, etc.)

MC=Marc Chénetier, Flore Chevaililer, and Antoine Cazé's 2001 interview, "Some Bridge of Meaning," in Sources, fall 2001
The Bookshelf
Prose fiction
Bill Wilson, Why I Don't Write Like Franz Kafka (1977; 133 ps.)
This collection of stories, written using language and viewpoints partly medical and scientific in nature, shows certain similarities to J.G. Ballard's The Atrocity Exhibition (1970), at least in its concern with pathological and modified human bodies. Accordingly, Wilson's prose's register of bio/medical terminology reflects his concern with pathology: entelechy; neoteny; seriatim; naevus; pelagic; tunicates; enuresis; cortisone; hypospadias; pemmican; adrenergics; sigmoidoscopy; saprozoic. These are not stories for everyone. They are brutal and detached from human intimacy, incisive as a surgeon's scalpel's cuts. Think, if you have read it, of J.M. Coetzee's short fiction The Vietnam Project, comprising the first half of Dusklands (1974).
Charles Newman, New Axis: or the 'Little Ed' Stories (1966; 175 ps.) (NN)
Tales from a small MidWestern community that interlock, intertwine, interlace. Each story conveys the experience and POV of a single character who is glimpsed obliquely by others in other stories. This 'interlocking points-of-view' technique, while it forms an integral part of many, many novels, stands out particularly in The Sound and the Fury (1929) by Faulkner, Impossible Object by Mosley, and in A Smuggler's Bible by McElroy. Charles Newman was the founding editor of TriQuarterly where some of William S. Wilson's and Joseph McElroy's short work first appeared.
Nicolas Mosley, Impossible Object (1968; 219 ps.) (NN)
'One of the most fascinating novels of the last generation,' according to McElroy. No brief summary could do this book, which consists of eight short stories alternating with intensely bewildering three-page intercalary chapters, justice, successfully characterize the paradoxical wager at the heart of the book. 'Words were a vulgarity. One's duty was to love those whom one loves' (175).
If you don't know Mosley at all but are curious, you might find this website of John Banks, with interviews with Mosley, to be a useful resource.
After Impossible Object I quickly read Catastrophe Practice (1979), itself a triumph of hope and positivity, despite its 'theatre of the absurd' qualities which exist alongside Mosley's incisive critical essays describing his vision and ambitions; and alongside a novella which concludes the book. American literature scholar Tom LeClair: 'N. Mosley is a throwback, a modernist mastodon whose project for fiction surpasses in grandiosity that of any American writer I know.' Dalkey has a large selection of Mosley's books in print; recommended to explore them a little here.
Heinrich Wilhelm von Kleist, Michael Kohlhaas (1811) (NN) (free text here)
Thrilling, fantastic, and awesome. A two-hundred-year-old text that is just as modern and entertaining now as ever. It's about one upright citizen's insistence on justice in the face of corrupt officials. I've heard that for Ragtime (1974) E.L. Doctorow borrowed some situational elements from this short novella.
Herman Melville, 'Bartleby the Scrivener' (1853) (JC) (free e-book)
If you've read this story, you know how unforgettable, eloquent, and bewildering it is–among the best stories ever written. If you are unfamiliar with this story, read or listen to it this week. Free audio version available from Librivox.
Michel Butor, Degrees (1960) (NN; 351 ps.)
This nouveau roman centers on a Paris school teacher who devises a project to meticulously record the totality of what happens to certain of his colleagues and pupils. Because his project attempts totality, it fails and he loses his psychic stability. Apparently an inspiration for A Smuggler's Bible (1966), McElroy's first novel.
Michel Butor, Mobile (1962; 319 ps.)
Not your typical travel book! Highly idiosyncratic and elliptical in its form, Mobile represents Butor's experience of traveling in the U.S.A. when Eisenhower's highway project was not yet old. This book makes extreme demands on the attention of the reader and provides singular rewards.
Knut Hamsun, Mysteries (1892; 340 ps.) (ACH)
Early modernist, experimental text that was praised early on by Henry Miller. About a man named Nagel who turns up one day in a small Norwegian village and stirs things up a bit.
Norman Mailer
Mailer is a somewhat neglected author today, but he was a public intellectual and a strong voice in the time of his celebrity. But what of Mailer ought one read?; not all Mailer is good Mailer, there is too much Mailer. Why Are We in Vietnam?, Of a Fire on the Moon, and parts of An American Dream are written with an incandescence that very few writers can equal. 'The Man Who Studied Yoga?' is a very good short story (in Advertisements for Myself).
William H. Gass, 'In the Heart of the Heart of the Country' (c. 1960, 1964 ?) (NN)
Gass said once that he self-consciously composed this story on the structure of a musical composition. It attempts to convey the monotony of living in a small MidWestern town through repetitions, the very lack of action, lack of plot. Sound interesting? Gass's language makes this, and the short story collection of which it is a part, a masterpiece of American literature.
Paul Metcalf, Patagoni (1971)
In 'Neural Neighborhoods' McElroy describes Patagoni as 'a short history of North American Henry Ford and River Rouge… coupled with a rambling trip into South America under a weird metaphor of brain and body.' The Jargon Press publication is an unusually beautiful, and somewhat rare, book-object. Coffee House's 3 volume Collected Works of Metcalf has it, of course, in the 1st volume. (Note from 2016: I have since read nearly all of Metcalf's work, and found it truly awesome. Here are some more posts tagging or discussing Metcalf.)
Harold Brodkey
The story 'State of Grace,' Brodkey's first published story, available in the collection First Love and Other Sorrows, is beautiful, eloquent, and touching; it even involves some plausible time travel, a real kick-in-the-pants. I have not read any of Stories in an Almost Classical Mode, but this beautiful appreciation of Brodkey surely makes me want to.
Jerome Charyn, A Child's History of the Bronx (NN)
An excerpt from this unpublished novel was published in Statements 1, edited by Ronald Suzenick, of the Fiction Collective. From what I can tell it's a playful, ribald colonial historiography (17th, 18th century) of Manhattan. Not something I recommend going the extra mile to consult.
Italo Calvino, "Priscilla," from t zero
Imagine a cell thinking through how it feels to divide into or to combine with another cell, as in meiosis and mitosis. Calvino has done just that.
D.H. Lawrence, Selected Stories: (BM)
'The Horse-Dealer's Daughter'; 'The Rocking-Horse Winner'; 'The Woman Who Rode Away'; 'The Prussian Officer'

Galway Kinnell, The Book of Nightmares (1971; 75 ps.) (ACH)
Dedicated to the children of the author ('Maud and Fergus'), this collection of ten poems deploys an inventiveness of language and evokes an intensity of pathos that are rarely attained by even the best poets. The first printing by Houghton Mifflin includes amazing illustrations as frontispieces to each of the poems. This tiny book might be said to constitute some of the finest American poetry from the latter half of the 20th century.
Gary Snyder, "Good Things That Can Be Said for the Iron Age" (1970) (NN)
Retrieved from the vast Internet, here, the poem itself:
A ringing tire iron dropped on the pavement
Whang of a saw brusht on limbs
the taste of rust
A.R. Ammons, Collected Poems (ACH)
Philosophy and other
John Custance, Wisdom, Madness, and Folly (1952)
This book is referenced numerous times in McElroy's first novel A Smuggler's Bible. It's a first-person account of madness and delusional revelations, and of a hospital stay. The book is really quite extraordinary, and also hard to find.
James Henry Breasted, Ancient History (1916)
A titular precedent for McElroy's novel of the same name. The narrator, Cy, frequently digresses on ancient history (Egypt, Mesopotamia, Sumeria, Babylon, etc.) during the course of his book-length monologue. Ancient History is his school textbook, it seems.
E.F. Schumacher, Small Is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered (1973) (ACH)
An awesome book written with strong and pragmatic convictions. As an economist Schumacher worked with Britain's National Coal Board for twenty years. On the one hand, Schumacher's book is a vehement critique of econometrics, and on the other it's a re-definition of what economists and human beings ought to use to evaluate, understand, and (from a policy perspective) guide behavior. Schumacher's assertion that 'We must learn to think in terms of an articulated structure that can cope with a multiplicity of small-scale units' (80) informed the writing of Women and Men. Perhaps this is the only book I know whose back cover identifies its proper classification as 'Economics / New Age.'

Axelrod having success as a 'crafty' righty
CHICAGO -- In three of Dylan Axelrod's four starts this season, the right-hander has given the White Sox a viable chance to win. Two of those starts have been of the quality variety, even if Axelrod doesn't possess pure stuff.
"When a lefty is throwing the way he is, he's crafty and knows how to pitch," said White Sox manager Robin Ventura of Axelrod's style. "Where a righty does it, people don't know why or how.
"But he has the ability to make guys miss. That's not easy to do, especially with him working off counts and hitters' aggressiveness. He finds a way to do it. Guys mis-hit balls and he gets quite a few swings and misses."
Axelrod, 27, shuttled between Triple-A Charlotte, the White Sox bullpen and the starting rotation in 2012, putting up impressive efforts at Yankee Stadium, Camden Yards and Fenway Park. He's currently filling in for John Danks as the fifth starter and has definitely benefited from the consistency of throwing every fifth day.
"You go in the bullpen and you gotta be prepared to pitch every day," Axelrod said. "Here, I know I'm going every five days and I have a few off-days in between. I can get after it in the weight room and watch video and do everything to get my body ready. It's nice because when you are bouncing back and forth, it's tough physically to prepare.
"I can get a full side [session] in without stressing about pitching the next day or having something happen. Just from a physical standpoint, I can really push myself in the weight room knowing I have days to recover. I think in the long run, I'll feel a lot stronger every fifth day just getting that regular work in."
As for people being surprised by Axelrod's effectiveness, such as the one run he held Cleveland to over six innings Monday, Axelrod smiles and makes it clear that he's not worried about style points.
"People are like, 'How are you getting people out?' And I don't know," said Axelrod, who matches up with David Price on Sunday against the Rays. "I just go out there and compete and try to make my pitches, execute a game plan.
"So, I just try to get people out. I don't care how I do it. It might not look pretty, but if I can get it done. It's all worth it. It's all working."

(1) Kallanai - Already neengo add paniteenga
(2) Thiruvalluuvar Silai
Thiruvalluvar is the immortal poet of Tamil Nadu and has given to the world Thirukkural. The memorial statue of Thiruvalluvar is in Kanyakumari. The pedestal of the statue is of 38 feet height and the statue over it is 95 feet tall with a grand total of 133 feet for the entire sculpture. The 3 tier pedestal known as Atharapeedam is surrounded by an artistic Mandapa known as Alankara Mandapam with 38 feet height. Surrounding the Alankara Mandapa stand 10 elephant statues signifying 8 directions with earth and space down. The father of Sri. Rama, the hero of Ramayana was called Dasaratha as he was able to charioteer in ten directions. To help the tourists to worship the holy feet of Thiruvalluvar 140 steps are constructed inside the Mandapa. The pedestal with a height of 38 feet represents the 38 chapters in the Book of Aram in Thirukural and the statue of 95 feet on the pedestal represents the total chapters in Porul (70 chapters) and Inbam (25 Chapters). Thus the statue symbolically, and artistically signifies that the theme of Porul and Inbam are based on Aram.

Heights of Beauty on Tamil Nadu's Hill Stations
Screened in the mist-clad Nilgiris, Ooty is South India's premier hill station. The route to the green paradise is equally enchanting. You will travel on a steam train amidst lush greens and floating dews to a dream destination. Renowned as the Scotland of the East, Ooty is a leisure place that lingers the best of everything; sun lighting up one hill with the best colour even as the other beside remains shrouded in green velvet, mountain ponies chomping the best grass by the kerbside, and above all you will relish the best of hot filter coffee and even hotter 'sambhar'. Remember to scale the highest peak of the Nilgiris (Blue Mountains) at 8,606 ft - Dodda Betta - a mere 10 km from Ooty to behold the best of the views of south. Tourists can also go for hand-gliding courses organised by the Tourism Department from March to May. Enjoy flying over the shimmering rivulets and emerald lakes that are an angler's delight underneath. Spend your mornings at the Ooty Gymkhana Golf Club with as many rounds of golf as you want. The Ootacmund Derby is the climax of the season and attracts top Indian jockeys and is a must visit for every traveller to Ooty.

Rizzo, Cubs need fan support on All-Star ballot
PITTSBURGH -- Anthony Rizzo may not be getting as many votes in the All-Star balloting as Dodgers first baseman Adrian Gonzalez, but the Cubs infielder should get some consideration as he's ranked right up there with his peers.
Rizzo entered Monday's game against the Pirates tied for first with Gonzalez and the Diamondbacks' Paul Goldschimidt in home runs with 12. Rizzo is third in on-base percentage (.403) behind the Nationals' Adam LaRoche (.416) and the Reds' Joey Votto (.410).
The Cubs first baseman is first in walks (42) in the NL, fifth in slugging percentage (.490), tied with Gonzalez for sixth in hits (58), and seventh in batting average (.276).
But Rizzo isn't among the top five in the latest All-Star balloting, released Monday. Gonzalez is the leading vote getter among NL first baseman, followed by Goldschmidt, the Braves' Freddie Freeman, the Rockies' Justin Morneau, and the Giants' Brandon Belt.
No Cubs players were listed among the top vote-getting position players, and the team's representative may be a pitcher. Jason Hammel ranks sixth in the NL with a 2.53 ERA while Jeff Samardzija is seventh at 2.54.
Fans can cast their votes for starters at MLB.com and all 30 club sites -- online or on a mobile device -- using the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Ballot Sponsored by Experian until Thursday, July 3, at 11:59 p.m. ET. The 2014 All-Star Game will be played at Target Field on Tuesday, July 15.
Fans may submit up to 25 online ballots, but they can also earn a one-time bonus of 10 additional online ballots. To access these additional online ballots, you must be logged into your MLB.com account when you submit any online ballot. If you do not have an MLB.com account, register on the site in accordance with the enrollment instructions for a free MLB.com account.

The 2014 Home Run Derby will be broadcast live on ESPN, ESPN HD, ESPN Deportes and ESPN Radio in the United States beginning at 8 p.m. ET on Monday, July 14.
The 2014 American League and National League All-Star teams will be unveiled on the 2014 MLB All-Star Game Selection Show during the weekend of July 5-6, with further details to follow on MLB.com. Immediately following the announcement of the AL and NL All-Star rosters, fans can begin voting to select the final player for each league's 34-man roster via the 2014 All-Star Game MLB.com Final Vote Sponsored by Experian. Fans will cast their votes from a list of five players from each league over the balloting period.

Soybean Prices Down, But There is Good News
Information provided by Debra Levy Larson at the University of Illinois
URBANA – Several fundamental factors have contributed to the decline in soybean prices, including early reports of better-than-expected yields of the current U.S. crop, according to University of Illinois agricultural economist Darrel Good.
Good reported that November 2012 soybean futures reached a high of $17.89 on Sept. 4, but have declined sharply since then. The USDA's Sept. 12, Crop Production report containing a smaller yield and production forecast provided some brief support, but that contract has traded under $16 and is currently about $1.90 below the high. Basis levels have also weakened over the past three weeks. "The average cash bid in central Illinois, for example, was $0.03 over November futures on Sept. 4 and $0.13 under on Sept. 21," Good said.
The National Oilseed Processors Association report of the size of the domestic crush by its members in July was a bit smaller than expected. The July crush was 5 percent larger than that of the previous July, following year-over-year increases of nearly 14 percent in the previous three months. The total crush for the 2011-12 marketing year may have been about 5 million bushels below the USDA forecast of 1.705 billion bushels.
Reports of an economic slowdown in China have also weighed on soybean prices.
"China is the largest consumer and importer of soybeans, accounting for 28 percent of world consumption and 64 percent of world trade in the 2011-12 marketing year," Good said. "An economic slowdown there raises concerns about the strength of commodity demand, including soybeans, during the year ahead. In addition, the expectation of a large South American soybean crop in 2013 provides a threat to the demand for U.S. soybeans in the last half of the 2012-13 marketing year," he said.
Following the drought-reduced crop of 2012, the USDA projects an 11 percent increase in acreage and a 29 percent increase in South American soybean production in 2013.
Good said one of the more negative fundamental factors has been the early reports of better-than-expected yields of the current U.S. crop.
"The USDA's weekly Crop Progress report showed only 10 percent of the acreage harvested as of Sept. 16, but the market seems to be spooked by reports of yields exceeding producer expectations," Good said. "The USDA will provide a new yield forecast in the Oct. 11, Crop Production report. The September report forecast the U.S. average yield at 35.3 bushels, 0.8 bushels below the August forecast. It is not unusual for a lower yield forecast in September to be followed by a higher forecast in October. In the previous 30 years, for example, the September forecast was below the August forecast 16 times and the October forecast was above the September forecast in 7 of those 16 years. The September-to-October increase ranged from 0.2 bushels to 3.5 bushels (2004) and averaged 1.3 bushels," he said.
Good said that the October report will also provide an update of planted and harvested acreage of soybeans. The current estimate of planted acreage of 76.08 million is 1.6 percent larger than the USDA's Farm Service Agency report of planted acreage by program participants. That ratio is consistent with that of the previous four years, suggesting little change in the National Agricultural Statistics Service estimate. The current forecast of harvested acreage is 1.445 million less than the estimate of planted acreage. The difference is 400,000 to 500,000 larger than the difference experienced in years of favorable weather and is consistent with the 2012 growing season weather.
While soybean fundamentals have turned somewhat negative, there have been some positive developments.
"First, early season weather in South America has not been perfect," Good said. "While current weather does not threaten the upcoming crop, it is a reminder that the record crop there is not yet harvested. Second, export sales of U.S. soybeans for delivery during the 2012-13 marketing year were reported at 779 million bushels as of Sept. 13. That is a record level of sales for this time of the year and represents nearly 74 percent of the USDA's projection of exports for the year. With 61 percent of the sales to China and 23 percent to unknown destinations, there is some concern about cancellation of some sales if prices continue to decline. In addition, the pace of exports during the first three weeks of the marketing year was very slow relative to the pace needed to reach the USDA projection for the year," he said.
Good said that a third positive development is the decision by the Environmental Protection Agency to increase the minimum biodiesel production from 1 billion gallons in 2012 to 1.28 billion gallons in 2013. "That increase will likely require an additional 2 billion pounds of vegetable oil for biodiesel production," he said. "It represents about 7 percent of total U.S vegetable oil consumption in 2011-12. More than the minimum amount of biodiesel may be needed to meet the total advanced biofuels requirement in 2013.
"A soybean price rally would not be expected at harvest time, particularly if the USDA confirms prospects for a larger crop. However, the on-going tightness of supplies and the need to further ration consumption should provide some underlying price support through the end of the calendar year," Good said.

The flow of liquid PDMS (10:1 v/v base to cross-linker ratio) in open, rectangular silicon micro channels, with and without a hexa-methyl-di-silazane (HMDS) or poly-tetra-fluoro-ethylene (PTFE) (120 nm) coat, was studied. Photolithographic patterning and etching of silicon wafers was used to create micro channels with a range of widths (5-50 μm) and depths (5-20 μm). The experimental PDMS flow rates were compared to an analytical model based on the work of Lucas and Washburn. The experimental flow rates closely matched the predicted flow rates for channels with an aspect ratio (width to depth), p, between one and two. Flow rates …

Great article on the Bama QB. Another big game and another big performance for McCarron. Here are view things from this SI article.
Want to beat Alabama? Wait until next season, when AJ McCarron, college football's best big game quarterback, is playing in the NFL.
Talk all you want about the stout Alabama defense and the punishing running game, and how the Tide are a complete team. They're not winning games that matter without McCarron.
No one plays bigger in the biggest moments than McCarron.

Why do certain colors trend? Have you noticed, that you haven't been able to find a pair of hot pink pumps for decades? Want to replace that eggplant bath rug, but can't find that color anywhere anymore? Color forecasting is done in advance and the entire manufacturing industry jumps on board, from fashion, to home decor, to print advertising.
Pantone is recognized worldwide, designers pay attention, The color forecasters gather and talk color, until they come up with the "Color of the Year". Decision by committee. Personally, I feel that the new blue is a bit heavy and depressing for the dawn of a new decade. Yes, we need to feel peaceful, but we also need to feel hopeful. If I was on the international color forecasting board I would block this conservative decision ;) More on Pantone
Let's look further back by decade, the roaring 20's brought a sense of adventure, war was over, people felt lighter, colors were soft and sophisticated. I doubt people thought much about color during the depression and WWII. Life was pretty drab, pigments and paint were expensive.
The dawn of the 50's was a time for celebration, again, a sense of freedom and expression, kitchens were soft pink and turquoise, even automobiles came out in sexy new colors and everyone owned one or two. Here's a swatch of Pontiac car colors from the Spring collection of 1956.
As enchanting as an Easter Parade!
As we moved into the psychedelic 60's, people and colors became bolder and brighter. Rock and roll and flower power pushed the colors to an exciting new level.
Earth and energy dominated the 70's psyche with the awareness of polluted waterways, gas shortages and the oil embargo, people craved a connection to earth. Dark wood, textured macrame and pottery took center stage. Brown, green and golds could be found everywhere, including your refrigerator.
The "me generation" of the 80's brought on the Miami Vice vibe, carefree and light. Who didn't have something mauve or teal or country blue in their home?
By the 90's colors were deeper, the khaki colors of Grunge. The world didn't end with Y2K and vivid orange and fresh green celebrated the new Millennium. Colors were highly saturated and exciting, bold with contrast.
Color has the ability to affect mood, it reflects our collective conscience, we crave different colors at different times of our lives. I ask, what color do you need in your life right now?
Color can be very powerful. Use it wisely.
This 60 year old ranch has had wallpaper in the kitchen since the beginning of time. When I moved in I knew this was going to be a project. I was encouraged when the top layer came off easily, but the liner was glued on tight. After some trial and error, using steam and various toxic products, I would steam, scrape and peel, still leaving behind a sticky gluey mess. I decided to work with more natural products like baking soda & vinegar to get the paste off. It was very tedious and time consuming. This was going to be an extra tough job.
I had to find a better way...
This is a messy job. I found that old Amazon boxes worked better than ruining my drop cloths to absorb the water and paste and could be easily moved as I worked around the room. You have to be careful using steam as to avoid saturating the drywall too much.
Finally, I stumbled upon the tip of using FABRIC SOFTENER. Whaaaat? Certainly more pleasant than DEP or industrial chemicals. I put it in a spray bottle, steamed the area, squirted on the fabric softener, let it sit a while a then worked with the steamer and a wide putty knife to scrap the gooey paste off the wall. It worked like Magic!
Cardboard floor protection
Fabric Softener in a spray bottle
Wide putty knife
Old rags or newspaper to clean the goo off of the putty knife
Scotchbright Scrubbing pad
TSP or Spic & Span (use rubber gloves)
A bucket or two
Once you have the glue scrapped off, you'll want to wash the walls with Spic and Span, TSP, or baking soda to get the residue off so the primer/paint will adhere. I used a blue scotch bright pad and gently scrubbed, and follow up with another spic and span wash with a clean cloth. I touch each area while it is still damp to see if its sticky and go over it again, until it is clean.
MORE TIPS To Make Wallpaper Removal Faster.
Work a small area at a time. The process will go much faster with 2 or 3 people. One to steam, one to scrape and one to freshen the buckets and provide refreshments.
Make sure the walls are completely dry before priming. I wait 48 hours.
Avoid plumbing problems, beware of dumping gluey water down the drain.
From start to finish, this small kitchen took well over 60 (wo)man hours, so plan accordingly.
Are you ready for the Holidays
With fall approaching we all scramble to enjoy those final warm days and before you know it you'll be planning your holiday festivities. Now is the time to start thinking about your interior home improvements, before the hectic holidays. Autumn is the perfect time to refresh your home. If you are considering adding a fresh coat of paint, why not consider a new color palette? Too overwhelming? I can help. Time to remodel, reorganize, rearrange or shop for furniture? Let me help you get your home ready for the holidays, now!
Well, I did it!
I made the move from Denver to Wisconsin. It was a very Merry Christmas with family and friends, to be followed by a long stretch of bitter cold that has not ended. I'm happy to look for houses while sitting by the fireplace. Thank God for Zillow, Realtor.com and hot tea!
Of course I am excited to dive into the interior design community here in the Milwaukee area and start to get acquainted with new people, suppliers and vendors. In the meantime, as I browse through the real estate listings, I see that realtors and homeowners in the area could be greatly helped with a two-hour interior design consultation.
People generally think that interior designers are only for the extremely wealthy. Not true! A $250 consultation can dramatically change the look of your space, and save you money. Many people prefer to do it themselves, but need ideas, guidelines and
As I have been in the preparing to put my house up for sale, the purging and packing process has been much more than I anticipated. Just when you think you've accomplished a great deal, you open another cabinet, drawer or storage bin to find things you haven't dealt with in years.
Many of my clients go through the same thing when remodeling, getting new flooring or simply want to refresh their décor. Yikes! What to do with all this stuff?
Ahhhh... the freedom of purging!
Sometimes we need an event like a move, or remodel to motivate us to go through the junk we've been collecting and eventually discarding in our basements. It can be overwhelming, but the tremendous sense of freedom is liberating when we can release it!
Tip #1 Walk through your space and determine the things you absolutely LOVE. Make a mental note of it. If there was a fire, what would you really, really regret losing. Identify your most precious possessions.
Tip #2 Speed purge! Grab a box or a bin and put everything you can easily get rid of without a second thought, and put it in the bin (or multiple bins if you're really in the mood to purge)!
Working with a professional paint color consultant may seem extravagant to some people, until they actually do! I've had many clients who have tried to go it alone, ending up with multiple paint samples scattered all over their walls and call in frustration. Painting your home or office can be a major expense and none of us want to make a mistake.
Sherwin Williams just put out this infographic about paint color. It's no surprise that millennials value the advise of an expert. They want their space to look awesome, and realize that it's tricky to get it right. Color is an art & a science! Most people don't have the patience, experience or skill to nail it the first time. So why not call in someone who geeks out on color all day, every day? Ultimately, by investing a few hours of time with a color consultant or interior designer, you can save time and money, and have a beautiful looking designer home that will wow your guests.
So, if you are considering investing in painting your space, I highly recommend investing in your vision first.

Color Consulting and Interior Design
What are the best paint colors?
People always ask me, "What are the most popular paint colors?". Interior design trends come and go, taupe, beige, grey, greige. One year white cabinetry is all the rage, next year it will look tired. My advice is to choose colors that work for your home and your spirit. Yes, your spirit!
Color has a magical ability to speak to us. Color influences the products we purchase. Your paint scheme can portray a soft elegance or a vibrant environment. What does your spirit need and what colors are you drawn too?
If you want more energy in your office, consider yellow or orange. If you need your office to be calmer, greens, blues and deeper colors like a shade of brown may be soothing.
When looking for the best room colors you'll want to consider how the light plays in the room. Look at the natural light coming in from your windows as well as the lamps and overheads in your space. What time of day do you use this room, how do you want to "feel" in the space?
Just changing the color temperature of your light bulbs will change the way your paint color looks. A cream colored lampshade will make your paint look different than a white or black lampshade. Oh the magic of color and light!
Color is also affected by the colors surrounding it. In a house with large windows, surrounded by evergreens, any paint will reflect the green during the day. We can make adjustments looking at the undertone of a color to get the effect you ultimately want. (We'll explore more on the subject of metamerism later.)
If you are looking for the best paint colors for your home interior or business, give me a call. Paint color consulting is my specialty! We'll create the perfect palette for you to work, live and play in!

When the Delectable Egg called me to help them design their new restaurant, I was thrilled. The new space boasted a ratty beach vibe. As I began to learn more about the brand, I felt we had a huge opportunity to make the space fun, happy and memorable. I wanted it to sparkle.
This is a breakfast and lunch restaurant. The owners had never worked with an interior designer before, and I had never designed a restaurant before, but I had a vision!
SPARKLE!! From lighting fixtures and furnishings to paint colors and art, I was on a mission to find the perfect finishes that would brighten up their customers' day!
The Delectable Egg loves supporting artists and features rotating installations in the other restaurants. As a result, their walls were badly damaged and occasionally the show was too scary for a breakfast vibe!
I sourced fun artwork for their permanent collection and gave them a dedicated wall with a hanging system for their guest artists convenience.
How to create a vision for your retail space.
Have you ever struggled to choose a paint color, or to arrange the furniture for a better flow?
And, what about that photo wall or built in bookcase, far from looking like an after shot from HGTV?
Perhaps you plan to remodel your kitchen, or add an addition. Working with an interior designer can save you time, money and frustration. Most people don't have the time to spend hours searching for the best finishes. You're making an investment in your home, why wouldn't you solicit the help of a professional to ensure that your final result is better than you could have ever imagined?
My clients have often told me, "hiring you, was the best money I ever spent!". They are pleasantly surprised at how fun I make the process, taking away their stress and the agony of indecision.
We work together, to find their style, create a vision and source the right products to work with their budget.
I'm absolutely delighted when my clients say "Wow, I would have never thought of this on my own".
That's my job and my gift... to see the possibilities, find solutions, and bring a vision to your project.

Even though I still have a few more posts in the pipeline here at Letters from Florence, I thought I'd mention that the new, Portland-based blog is up and taking those first few tentative lurches toward a full-on writerly stride, as soon as I can settle a bit here and get my bearings.
The blog is called Bumblepuppy (*) and you can find it by scurrying over to www.bumblepuppyblog.com.
Here's the gist of it: a former expat (ahem, me) returns to America and tries not to pee her pants in gratitude and glee every time a random stranger or bureaucrat is actually nice to her, or when a simple task/errand does not take hours/days/eternities to accomplish nor requires buckets of angst/rage-induced perspiration and a marca da bollo. Kind of an Alice-down-the-rabbit-hole sort of thing. Or a former Florentine Yankee in King Arturo's Court kinda thing. And probably a reverse culture shock kinda thing, too.
I hope you'll follow me over to the new digs, dear Readers, in order to accompany me on this mad maiden voyage among the tall timbers of the Portlandian northwest.
So come on: grab your kilt, bagpipes and unicycle and let's make some beautiful music together.
May the Force be with You,
* What is this 'bumblepuppy' of whom I speak, you ask? As we say around these here parts: GTS... (Google that shit)

Hey guys, I am just joining, and I must say, I am already in love with this forum!
I am a 23 year old student from Edmond, OK and my boyfriend and I are the proud owners of two rescued pitbulls, (possible pit mixes). Degan, who we found in a shelter, is one a one and a half years old, is 'blue seal' in color and weighs about 75 pounds. We took him home when he was three months old. Harlow, who we got about six months ago from craigs list is one year old, white with brindle cow print, and weighs about 40 pounds. Harlow was found almost starved to death at about 4 months old by some fellow pit owners who wanted to breed her, but when they realized she could potentially be a mix, they decided they did not want to keep her. She is what we call 'special'. I think she missed out on some crucial nutrients as a puppy and her growth was stunted, along with her intelligence. But what she lacks in brains she truly makes up for in heart. Our dogs are our children and I honestly don't know what we would do without them!
Although I have only been a part of the pitbull community for a little over a year, I am truly in love with this breed. I plan to eventually,(once I have my own home and a little bit of land) run a rescue that specializes in bully breeds. I truly think it is my calling in life to help these animals; I have never felt more passionately about anything!
I look forward to all the learning, and companionship I hope to find here!
This is the best family portrait I can find!
