There is something quite poetic about a honeymoon. Whether you're waved away by your guests as you leave on your wedding night, or if your departure is somewhat belated due to life or circumstance, there is a certain romance that walks hand in hand when one goes on their honeymoon.
And why not!? It's the celebration of your unity, your next step as a married couple, and if that isn't a cause for cheer, I don't know what is! So your honeymoon should reflect you as a couple, and forget about what the 'norm' is. Head to the location you've been lusting over!
There was no cause for debate about where my husband and I would be heading for our jaunt – we'd been dreaming about Vietnam and Malaysia for months before we were engaged, and finally, we didn't need an excuse!
For us, it was the allure of the hustle and bustle , the heat, the food, the prices and of course, the sights. Ok, shopping was on the list too, but it wasn't at the top (no really, it wasn't!). I think some of our friends were surprised that we weren't heading to a resort on a beach somewhere but, as I said, that just wasn't us.
Turns out, we got plenty of time on a beach in a resort, in two beautiful parts of Vietnam. My Aunt, who lives and works in Vietnam, gave us a two-night stay at the Seahorse Resort & Spa in Mui Ne as our wedding present, which was just fantastic. We did find, however, that as the area was solely focused on lounging around the pool and beach, we started to get itchy feet to see the rest of Vietnam. The two nights there were just right.
The other beachside location was the beautiful Hoi An, where we stayed in the renowned Hoi An Historic Hotel. Talk about pampered! This place was practically a palace! Hoi An is the clothing capital of Vietnam, where hundreds of tailors compete for your business, producing hand-made pieces at great prices. It also has a bustling night-life, and we found a great little bar, Mango Rooms, which makes a killer cocktail, and claims to have served Mick Jagger (it's on a plaque!).
We also took in the crazy Ho Chi Minh City, or Saigon, as the locals call it. It's non-stop, and was a great crash-course in all things Vietnamese. How to cross the road without being run over several times, how to haggle with grace, and how to cope with the heat!
We enjoyed a memorable cruise on the unimaginably picturesque Halong Bay, memorable not only for the majestic formations jutting out from the deep blue waters, but also the sounds of the terrible karaoke that floated across the bay each night.
Hanoi was my absolute favourite, with a stimulating mix of cultures all in one place, represented in the architecture, food and shops. We stayed in the 'Old Quarter", at Joseph's Hotel, just behind the gothic cathedral that dominates the square in the heart of the quarter. Just amazing. I wandered small streets, finding a mix of artisans selling their wares, with unique clothing and homewares that just screamed "buy me!". It was a true artists city, and we lapped it up.
On both ends of our trip to Vietnam, we stayed in Kuala Lumpur, at the luxurious Traders Hotel. This was our nod to the pampering that people had suggested we shouldn't miss out on, and I'm so glad we went. This hotel is a Shangri-La property, and my word, they know service. I also have never eaten so much at breakfast than I did each morning of our stay at Traders. They had a breakfast buffet that represents about 15 different cultures, and I'm not ashamed to say that I made it a personal challenge to try each one. What I loved about KL was the unabashed use of colour in everything, from the food to the fashion. I often find it hard to get colour into my wardrobe in Melbourne, but the Malaysians had me covered. This is where I shopped with gusto!
The last night of our honeymoon will always stay with me. We hadn't realized that it was Malaysia Day, and that on this special national holiday, there is a spectacular fireworks display in the botanic gardens, outside Traders Hotel!!!!! We were on the 34th floor, overlooking the gardens, and it was pure magic. I still get a little teary thinking about how perfect it was, because it felt like the sky was sparkling just for us.

Participate in an Under Armour sale online or use an Under Armour voucher to get yourself a sweet Under Armour deal at online store
A dedicated sportsperson has no time to partake in needless activities such as shopping. A sportsperson belong out there in the tracks, fields or the courts. That leaves online shopping one of the best ways an athlete can get their hands on some good gear. The Under Armour online store lets you browse through their huge catalog of high quality gear at your own leisure so it does not cut into your training schedules. There are also a regular sale or two that lets you get a good deal on Under Armour so you can deck yourself from head to toe - but of course you can also just use a voucher. Everything will then be delivered right at the address of your choosing which is pretty convenient if you ask me.
Subscribe to these Under Armour channels to get the latest news and development on a release, a sale or a deal:
• Youtube
• Google+
Clock in massive savings when you shop at Under Armour with ShopBack
More savings means more Under Armour gear for you. Now you can deck yourself with Under Armour gear from head to toe with up to 6.0% Cashback off your total Under Armour purchase amount. You can even magnify your savings from Cashback even further when you take advantage of a deal from sale or a voucher. It pays to keep ShopBack in mind! Plus, the seasonal promotions such as Under Armour Black Friday sales only help to stretch each penny to its worth. Cashback, discounts and sales? Sounds like our favourite combo.
Under Armour: Driven by passion, design and the relentless pursuit of innovation
Under Armour is many things. It is a mission, a dream, a solution and an idea. It is also what happens when innovation meets passion for excellence. Behind it all is a man called Kevin Plank.
Kevin Plank was University of Maryland s special teams captain when founded Under Armour in 1996. During his playing days, Kevin Plank was faced with the cumbersome and time-consuming process of having to change his sweat soaked cotton t-shirts during his two-a-days training sessions. There seems to be no other way around it due to the absorbent nature of cotton. This is a problem to which Kevin Plank was determined to find the solution to and what a solution that turned out to be.
Under Armour has gone on to become one of the biggest and fastest growing sportswear brand in the world. Under Armour is synonymous with clever innovation and cutting edge technology and it shows in their product. From the start, intensive research and innovation is applied to provide only the best for athletes which is evident by Under Armour s first ever HeatGear T-Shirt - the #0037.
Success does not come easy for Under Armour and Kevin Plank himself. He had to toil tirelessly hawking his good from the back of his car, driving up and down the East Coast of the United States. Countless transactions later, he struck gold, making the first ever team sale that netted him US$17,000.
So sure and proud was he of his product, Kevin Plank moved Under Armour s operation from the back of his grandmother s kitchen to a brand new headquarters in Baltimore. The rest as you can say is history.
Under Armour: The choice of professionals
Under Armour s innovative products has caught the attention of athletes worldwide - including big-time professionals. It is only natural that the best of the best desire only the highest of quality gear to help them maintain their superiority in the sporting arena and also in the process surpass all - including their very own - expectations. Under Armour had the honour of gearing up athletes and celebrities who are at the top of their game such as Michael Phelps, Tom Brady, Misty Copeland, Georges St Pierre, Dwayne 'The Rock Johnson and even Gisele Bundchen. These endorsements and proclamation of endearment is proof of Under Armour s quality and this has captured the attention of the everyday athletes worldwide.
Stay dry and light no matter how tough the training when you purchase affordable Under Armour HotGear and Under Armour ColdGear at a deal with an Under Armour voucher or an Under Armour sale
All of Kevin Plank s early hard work culminated in the creation of both the Under Armour Hot Gear and the Under Armour ColdGear which helps you keep cool or warm respectively. When you get these products made affordable with and Under Armour deal from a sale or with a voucher, you also stay dry and light due to its sweat wicking capabilities - this helps you go further, faster and do better.
Net a good deal with a sale or a voucher to dress yourself in an piece of cutting edge Under Armour tech Armour39 Compression Shirt
This is one of the most advance sportswear in Under Armour s arsenal. Formerly known as E39, the Under Armour39 Compression Shirt is fitted with electronic touchpoints to track biometric data which is then transmitted to a tiny device called 'The Bug . Trainers, coaches and athletes themselves then can use a computer to review and analyze the data gathered to find room for improvement. This innovative gear is not only for professionals and you can even get your hands on it with a good deal from a sale or a voucher.

badass concrete cutter
by concrete chain saw massacre
i had to have this bad boy after seeing it in action at the demo show. no doubt the k970 is a badass concrete chain saw. only thing is the gas tank is a little smaller than i hoped for so run time is a little short but everything considered i would still recommend this concrete chain saw to any pro with work lined up and true appreciation for well engineered and reliable gear. big ups to the guys at contractors direct always making it happen especially when you're in a pinch

Rep. Shelley Moore Capito
Washington, DC
It was a tough campaign, but absolutely worth it. I have had the privilege of serving West Virginia in the United States Congress during one of the most defining decades in our country's history.
Growing up as the daughter of a three-term Governor, politics has always been a part of my life. A typical weekend involved parades and official State ceremonies. I always appreciated how much my father enjoyed being in a position where he could truly make a positive difference in peoples' lives, both immediately, like helping veterans with their benefits, and long-term, by enacting public policies that made West Virginia stronger.
While I never shunned life in the public eye, I always thought I would take a different path. I attended college and graduate school, earning my Master's degree in Education and settled back in West Virginia with my husband to raise our three children. I was involved in the YWCA, local neighborhood and educational organizations; I always felt compelled to serve my community. I did eventually run for the House of Delegates, a position I held for four years and was part-time.
Then news came in 1999 that the Member of Congress from my district was retiring. Over the course of a few months, I felt a compelling urge to take my public service to a higher level. I felt like the problems of our country deserved great leadership, a fresh perspective and dedication. I believed that I could rise to the challenge and be that new voice.
Anyone in politics knows that running for office is very stressful, and can be especially hard on families. I don't know how anyone can face such a heightened level of scrutiny without a tight knit, trusting, supporting network of family and friends; I relied on both, along with my inner voice, to give me the energy and strength to make a life changing decision.
While my friends and family encouraged me from Day One, I was hesitant to take on such a public role with three young children. I liked being a stay-at-home mom, and I enjoyed the day to day duties of family life. Things like dropping my kids off at school each morning, cheering them on at sports games and having regular family meals were very important to me. I knew if I was elected, I would be required to commute to Washington almost weekly, which meant that my husband would take on additional household responsibility.
My husband and I literally sat down at the kitchen table and wrote out a "Pros" and "Cons" list. We weighed the decision as a family, since it would affect everyone's lives, not just mine. In the end, with the love and support of my friends and family, I decided to lean in and go for it. It was a tough campaign, but absolutely worth it. I have had the privilege of serving West Virginia in the United States Congress during one of the most defining decades in our country's history.

Odd Animals part 2
I posted about these illustrations a good while ago. I had started a side project of doing a series of unusual animals, one for each letter of the alphabet, I finally finished that project, after many re-imaginings, here is the final result.

Product design extends an architect's ability to use their creative skills and eye for planning & artistic interpretation to respond to an environmental necessity. Many of the same principles explored and addressed through architecture can be applied to design of products. Fundamental to architect's toolkit is a broad-based, multidisciplinary approach which lends itself perfectly to an interest in product design. With a focus on detail and appreciation for scalable aesthetics, architects are often ideally suited and willing to embrace a smaller scale project.
It is common for architects to find no furniture on the market that can respond to their designed building's needs, and so, developing a product inspired by the shape, form, and structure of the building is one practical solution. This also provides an opportunity for architects to take personal control of the interior environment. An architect's enhanced level of involvement with product design within a building has the potential to increase the cohesive identity of a structure. The interior fittings of a building and their points of interaction with the user, such as a person's use of chairs or sinks, are often just as important and adds to the overall architectural experience. So, here are some architects who managed to take on industrial design, in order to complement their architectural designs and compose some quite unique masterpieces.
Alvar Aalto
Alvar Aalto is probably the most famous Finnish architect and designer and one of the most important works he was commissioned was the planning of the Tuberculosis Sanatorium in Paimio, Finland which initiated Aalto's career as a furniture designer –the first building planned and furnished by Aalto. The whole project was specifically suited for user needs, both on a large and small scale, from spaces to products, which were later on adapted for serial production. In 1935 Alvar Aalto, together with Aino Aalto, Maire Gullichsen and Nils-Gustav Hahl, founded the company ''Artek'', the goal of which, inspired by functionalism, was to interconnect modern visual arts, rational furniture production and popular education, bringing about improvements in everyday urban life as well as in architecture and design. These are clearly seen as timeless designs seamlessly fitting in any period or era.
2. Norman Foster – Foster + Partners
Foster and Partners have a dedicated industrial design team, who strive to understand the needs of the user. They have produced designs ranging from a fountain pen to a full fit-out of a yacht, with designers working independently on private commissions as well as for commercial manufacturers. These products aid the architects to design their buildings holistically.
Foster + Partner's industrial design team has produced a number of lights fit for different use. The lumina-FLO is available in a range of styles so that the user gets maximum efficiency for the purpose – a floor or desk lamp are two options. A delicate shape is produced through reducing the number of moveable parts. This creates a streamlined, slender form. Collaborating with Italian light designer Lumina, gave an opportunity to create a lamp which is timeless and practical, with the LED module holding the ability to be upgraded.
3. Nicholas Grimshaw – Grimshaw Architects
Grimshaw's 2014 Spine seating is a flexible design solution for communal seating as it can transform from one seat to a robust, continuous array. A series of simply fabricated components apply the principle of span engineering, whereby loads are spread over a larger surface area for stability every time an extension is made.
Structural tubes run at even intervals to bind plates through nodes, giving a neat aesthetic feel. This system is well suited to public seating as it can withstand significant loads, while minimal touchdown points allow for easy cleaning and simple construction. Customization of a chair often makes it desirable to a variety of markets and needs.
Grimshaw's Patricia and Phillip Frost Museum of Science Planetarium Seating in Miami, Florida has a 250 seat capacity. Designed with Poltrona Frau, the intention was to create a piece which does not distract from the planetarium experience but adds to the aesthetics and comfort of the users. Monolithic color and material provide a quality product which can be appreciated by a wide demographic. In this case, the architect's ability to understand the use of a space and architectural experience aids in a sympathetic, responsive chair design which reflects its environment.
4. Daniel Libeskind – Studio Libeskind
Daniel Libeskind created a combined chair and table based on Marina Abramovic's exercise "Counting the Rice". The contemporary performance involves counting grains of rice over a long period of time, a physically demanding task. Libeskind strived to create a simple piece which directly embodies Marina's work, and so a church pew design became a strong precedent.
The chair was produced by furniture company, Moroso, with the first prototype presented in April 2014 in the Cortile d'Onore cloister at Milan University. The chair is formed from one piece of high-performance soft gray cast concrete, etched with intersecting lines.
5. Steven Holl – Steven Holl Architects
Architecture principles express themselves yet again in Steven Holl's ''Riddled Cabinet'', which is based on the installation ''Experiments in Porosity'' consisting of five faceted forms which exist not as independent objects, but rather as experiences of spatial sequences. In the "Riddled Cabinet" the five porous boxes tie together by influencing the geometries of each adjacent box. The cabinets are perforated with five unique porous patterns, each of the patterns revealing the contents of that specific box, by dissolving into an organic pattern of glowing light and transparency, reflecting the change of exploitation and surrounding conditions.
Not only do architects work in the field of furniture or home and office appliances design but they also apply their imaginative thinking skills to the industry and design of purely mechanical products.
6. Buckminister Fuller
An inspiring example is Buckminster Fuller, an architect, systems theorist, author, designer, and inventor famous for his Geodesic Dome structures but also for his futuristic designs including the ''Dymaxion Car'', patented in 1933 and known for its pioneering automotive aerodynamic design,which transformed automotive industry for future generations, the ''Dymaxion Rowing Shell'' designed with two parallel 21-foot-long fiberglass hulls is another great example of architectural transference onto other fields.
7. Zaha Hadid
Pushing the boundaries of architecture and design continues today with architects like Zaha Hadid. Her work encompasses all fields of design, ranging from urban scale to products, interiors, and furniture. It insists on astonishing us with designs like ''Z-Car II''. A compact 4-wheeled and 4-seater city car powered by rechargeable lithium-ion batteries fitted with 4 electric in-wheel motors that make it an eco-friendly vehicle. The perfect distribution of passenger space and car components, topped with a futuristic chassis, gives Zaha Hadid Architects the chance to express their perception of the future, articulating product and environment.
In the same category is Norman Foster's 40 ''Signature Series'' yacht for ''YachtPlus'', a testament to contemporary design work done by architects. As YachtPlus says, ''Lord Norman Foster's work on luxury hotels and residences provided a fresh approach to achieving privacy, comfort and usage of space on board a motor yacht. A new emphasis was given to such issues as quality and quantity of space, outdoor terraces, light, and views.'' All of those terms which an architect tackles daily, combine to present a logical, aesthetic and functional product, a genuine floating architecture per say.
8. Laurinda Spear – Arquitectonica
The question that follows is, how can architects so boldly leap through disciplines without losing perspective of the design at hand, and the response of Arquitectonica's founding principal Laurinda Spear gives an insight on the matter by saying that ''Arquitectonica follows a holistic design approach that extends beyond architecture and into landscape, interiors, and products — from macro to micro on a design scale. This standpoint allows us to carry over design elements across disciplines and apply them to master plans, buildings, and, of course, watches''. A perfect example being the Chroma watch, where fields of hues tick clockwise to represent seconds passing, while the hour indicator is activated using value and chroma, again using an essential component of architecture – light, color, and incorporating it into product design.
9. Renzo Piano – RPBW
Renzo Piano's dragonfly invisible wind turbine considers the way in which a dragonfly stays stable in flight, to help create a turbine that can withstand gale-force winds. Piano strived to design a turbine that has a minimal visual impact and so two blades were chosen, mimicking that of a dragonfly. When the turbine is not in use, the blades align vertically with the mast, allowing the design to blend seamlessly into the surrounding natural or built environment.
Reaching out to architects and designers specifically to produce wind turbines that work both functionally and aesthetically brings the benefit of knowledge of the built and natural environment. An architect's broad-based, multidisciplinary approach lends itself perfectly to achieving a design which appears natural in the landscape, similar to the way in which a building often must too.
Extra Bonus: Lego Architecture Studio
Not only can architects and architecture be inspired to design a product but they can also be the inspiration themselves. Architects and architecture serve as inspiration for developing and materializing architecture – the proof being Lego's ''Architecture Studio'', a product designed for both kids and adults, most of them, not being architects professionally. Giving the possibility to recreate, reimagine or invent new architecture, it is a good example of the close relationship between architecture and product design.
All designs described show the true potential of architects and architecture, the core purpose of the latter being to resolve problems in an unpretentious way, expressing simplicity and understanding of the task at hand for a final purpose of serving well and gratifying the user, a quality which architects learn to develop through academic and professional work, with the final product being a building, a chair, or a single lamp.

Literary Tourist on the road in the U.S.
The destination was Richard Minsky's place in the Hudson Valley, just south of Albany, NY. Richard was/is the founder of The Center for Book Arts in New York. I'd heard about him some years earlier thanks to a book he'd written called The Art of American Book Covers, 1875-1930. On the drive back north from a visit to New York City one summer I called him up out-of- the-blue to ask if he'd like to be interviewed for The Biblio File podcast. He gamely agreed, and promptly fixed up a bountiful cheese plate (and drinks) for my wife and her brother, who was travelling with us, out on his patio. The two of us then got down to business inside. He poured me one of the best Negronis I've ever thrown back. We then sat down together to talk about the book arts. Listen above.
Richard owns cattle
and wildlife can frequently be seen on his property.
Hard not to be taken with his collection of beautifully illustrated
book covers too.
I visited again not so long afterwards to talk about his impressive career as a bookbinder, and book scholar. Listen to our conversation here
This time round I was down to interview Barbara Slate, Richard's better half, about her newly revised book You Can Do a Graphic Novel (stay tuned for the audio). Here's a shot of one of her feet along with equipment and other essentials necessary to the conduct of good interviews.
Not only are there purple cows grazing Richard's grass, the house is filled with a colourful, eclectic selection of art.
The decor is a charming bohemian/pop/rustic.
Because I planned the trip well in advance, and mailing costs for books from the U.S. to Canada are these days exorbitant, I had a number (okay 6-7) delivered to his place, including a monster package of fine press & related journals acquired from Pradeep Sebastian. My wife decided to avail herself of this opportunity as well, and had a honking great barbeque shipped. It barely fit into the car. Richard patiently withstood the imposition.
From Minsky's I drove about a half an hour north-east to interview Laura Claridge about Blanche Knopf.
The Lady with the Borzoi: Blanche Knopf, Literary Tastemaker Extraordinaire is a racy read, full of detail 'n dirt. Despite being criticized by a few as fake news, I found the book credible and very entertaining. Alfred, from page one, is made out to look like a Grade A prick, while Blanche's importance is elevated, as it should be. Listen here:
From here I travelled east
John lives in a bright, spacious, comfortable house on a large, sloping corner lot in a pleasant residential area that reminded me, somewhat surprisingly, of North Vancouver, where my father used to live. John has been training personnel at ESPN on how to conduct interviews since 2004. He only recently 'retired.'
to Burlington, CT where, the next morning, I met with Canadian interviewing guru John Sawatsky. It was a glorious, sunny day and I was in a good mood having slept the night before at an Airbnb apartment situated right on the water. It was late when I arrived (at the Airbnb) (basically just brushed my teeth and went to bed), and lovely to fall asleep in the dark to the sound outside of the fast running Farmington River.
I knew that following the arc of a life was a good straight-forward way to structure an interview, so I started off by asking about John's birthplace, Winkler, Manitoba. He talked about his early years on the prairies, his move as a young boy to the West Coast, his education and his subsequent relocation to Ottawa to work as a journalist. Ottawa was heaven for a news junkie like him. He then got into investigative reporting, and started writing a book on Brian Mulroney and teaching journalism at Carleton University. When we started talking about the standardized interviewing approach he'd developed at the time, things veered off the rails.
I got impatient and started pressing for details on what kind of questions elicited that best answers, and how I could best conduct 'author interviews.' John's freely offered story arc, thanks, ironically, to me, crashed into the ditch. I couldn't seem to get a succinct answer out of him from this point forward. I wasn't sure if it was my ineptitude or John intentionally playing possum. I did however eventually get some intelligence: that storytelling is key to maintaining audience interest – but no real detail on how to achieve this (in retrospect it seems pretty simple: just shut up).
It was up to Sheila Rogers, who I emailed about John, to tell me that it was all about asking questions that encourage stories to be told (this from notes she'd kept from a workshop of John's she'd attended years ago). John is currently working on a book about interviewing. I will be among the first to buy it. Stay tuned for our arc-less Biblio File conversation.
From John's, I headed South to New Haven. I'd originally hoped to interview Lucy Mulroney about her recent book Andy Warhol, Publisher, but alas, we couldn't co-ordinate calendars (I interviewed Lucy about the Grove press some years ago in Syracuse). I did have the chance however to interview a couple of her colleagues, Raymond Clemens, curator of early books, and Diane Ducharme, archivist, at the Beinecke Library.
They helped curate an exhibition called Bibliomania; or Book Madness: A Bibliographical Romance – a celebration of 'all who are mad for books.' Since this describes most of The Biblio File's listenership, I thought I'd join in the festivities (Stay tuned for our conversation about the renowned 19th-century bibliomaniac Thomas Phillipps, who basically set a goal of collecting every book in the world). Update: here it is:
Before the interview I went to this decent pizza place around the corner from the Beinecke,
and later browsed Grey Matter Books,
a used bookshop on the next block – sister store to a much larger establishment in Hadley, MA (I happened to have attended the SHARP Conference in Amherst just down the road from it, last month – but more on this anon).
Matthew Zapruder told me about it. He wrote a great book called Why Poetry (Listen to our conversation about it here). He also recommended that I try to get in touch with Meghan O'Rourke the new editor of The Yale Review. She was super busy at the time, working on introducing some exciting new changes to the magazine
some of which we got to discuss (stay tuned), because she graciously let me in the door on the very first day she actually spent time in the office! A fun fact I learned from her: famed book designer Chip Kidd was the husband of J. D. McClatchy, president of the American Academy of Arts and Letters, and longtime editor of the Review. Chip is responsible for the magazine's current, longtime-but-about-to-change, design.
I over-nighted on the outskirts of New Haven and got off to an early start, hitting the road to Maine at 7am the next morning. My destination was Don Lindgren's place near the town of Alfred. I'd interviewed Don about collecting old and new cooking books when he had an open shop in Portland – always loved its name: Rabelais. He gave me a copy of his first catalog. It's got one of the best covers I've ever seen.
I finally arrived, no thanks to my malfunctioning GPS, for a late lunch. Don had bought us some award-winning sandwiches
We ate them in his garden overlooking a wavy ocean of bluish green grass,
and we talked about his gigantic community cookbook collecting project and how women raised huge money publishing them, without getting any credit at all from the churches (read: dominantly male) involved. Don, with the help of Scott Vile, has produced another impressive catalog that documents this collection.
We talked for several hours, not noticing the time. The original plan was to have visited DeWolfe and Wood, the great used bookstore in nearby Alfred. I'd have to stay over another night.
Next morning I stormed the bookshop. First thing I did was to survey the 'Book on Books' section in the basement. I fished out several publisher's histories and a nicely printed bibliography of The Colt Press, 1939-1942.
Both partners were in,
so I suggested to Scott deWolfe on the spot that I interview them together. Frank Wood took me on a nickel tour of the building
which was much more interesting than it appears from the street – and then the three of us sat down upstairs for a conversation. DeWolfe and Wood plays a very important role in the American used/antiquarian book-selling ecosystem. Stay tuned to learn more. And BTW, Scott allowed me to swap some books in exchange for the ones I'd found. One of mine was a first British edition of Lawrence Durrell's Clea, in F/F condition. The next day at home, I happened to be browsing one of Between the Covers's online catalogs. And there was Clea for sale for a heart-stopping $750.00.
I didn't begrudge them asking this at all, it's an important book, I just didn't want to miss out on my pound of flesh, hence the stopped heart. So I hurriedly checked the Internet, and, as confirmed with Scott, yes indeed, it appears you can get the same edition for as little as $30 online, in the same condition – or at least this is what the seller says. I accepted Scott's take on the situation – he's an experienced and ethical bookseller, but, still, I'm left shaking my head.

text: SAVE Instead of having a lavish celebration, Liza Soberano opted to celebrate her coming of age by giving back: The young actress brought smiles to everyone at Gentle Hands, Inc. in Quezon City, Chosen Children Foundation in Cavite, Anawim (Home Of God's Poor) Rizal, and ICanServe Foundation in Pasig. IMHO, her generosity makes this beauty even more gorgeous—a heart of gold trumps lovely features any day, yes? But then this altruistic lady also happens to be one of the loveliest faces in Philippine entertainment today, and her signature elegant, fresh-faced beauty style has been the subject of many "get-the-look" efforts. In honor of her 18th birthday, we run down our favorite looks and learned straight from her makeup artist, Mickey See, the essentials you'll need to channel the Dolce Amore star's signature au naturel style: Base Perfect. In every teleserye, TV guesting, movie, commercial, billboard, and magazine cover, Liza's stunning complexion is always evident. This girl doesn't need to pile on foundation because she's already got flawless skin. Great skincare is a must, and Mickey reveals Liza's two staples: Moisturizer and primer with SPF. It's important to invest in a moisturizer that suits your skin type, because smooth, supple skin is the best foundation of any makeup look—whatever you put on will look infinitely better if you have a nice complexion, and you actually won't need to put on a lot anymore because you've got skin you'd love to flaunt. To help your makeup go on smoothly, minimize the appearance of pores, and make your makeup last longer, have a primer handy; note that it's important that it has SPF because at this day and age, you really need all the sun protection you can get. All in the Gaze. Liza can rock any type of eye makeup—from cat eyes and wing tips to bright-colored lids. She looks simply sophisticated when in subtle eye makeup, and transforms to a glam maven when in dramatic ones. She has angelic eyes, and Mickey plays them up with liners and colorful smoky eye looks, but whatever hues and techniques he decides to use on her, lush, fluttery lashes are constants. An eyelash curler is a mainstay in Mickey's makeup arsenal and in Liza's beauty routine. Nicely curled lashes open up your peepers wonderfully, so even if it's the only eye product you use, your eyes will surely be stare-worthy. Brows On Fleek. That's exactly how Liza's eyebrows always are. They frame her face beautifully, no matter her chosen makeup look for the day. Hers are well-maintained, full, and feathery but still natural-looking—key elements of any on point brow game. Mickey always uses clear eyebrow mascara to set Liza's brows. Brushing your brows with clear mascara makes sure the other products you previously put on are evenly distributed and softens your look for a natural finish. Power Pout. Liza leans towards neutral shades and pastel colors for her lips, which perfectly complement her ethereal, wholesome nature and image. Sometimes, she takes a daring step into the world of bold lip color, preferring bright reds and pinks. Just like your skin, your lips also need to be well-taken care of and moisturized to make sure your lip color adheres well. Mickey always swipes lip balm on Liza's lips to prep them for the other products he will put later on. Make sure to have these must-haves in your kikay kit to look as fresh as Liza 24/7, but also don't ever forget her other ultimate essential: A big heart—because nothing beats being beautiful inside and out.

Be sure to grab your copy of this free sewing pattern! When paired with leggings and boots, this Ladies Raglan Top Pattern is perfect for a morning of school drop off, running errands and snuggling on the couch! The length is tailor-made for me, but you can easily lengthen or shorten the pattern to whatever length is most flattering for you.
*Update!! Check out Cowl-neck top I made with this pattern!
You've probably noticed; I have a thing for tunic-length tops. I like the length on both my daughter and me, especially now that leggings are so popular. I made her a sequined raglan tunic top several weeks ago, and my plan was to make myself one too. (I bought the prettiest teal sequined fabric and sweatshirt fleece.) But, I spent too much time fiddling over the pattern and now March is practically over. I've decided to shelve the sequined sweatshirt for me until next winter.
Since finishing the pattern, I've made a couple different versions so far. The first top is made with a nice quality French terry fabric (coral fabric).
I love that this particular fabric had such great stretch and recovery. (Unfortunately, I don't know where it came from, I bought it from someone selling items from their personal stash.) Paired with leggings and my shearling boots, this top is perfect for morning drop off and running around in! I made no changes to the pattern for this version.
The sizing is slightly different on this particular top. I traced the pattern from a top I love. (I think the reason I like it is that it is really roomy, but still flattering.) The size of the original top is tagged as a medium, but it fits more like a small large or a large medium. And when it comes to RTW tops, I wear either a med or a large depending on how roomy the top is. (Clear as mud?? 🙂 So, I just called it a medium/large and graded the next size down to be more of a small/medium. On my next pattern, I'll be more careful to start out with a pattern that is closer to a true size… (Fing the finished garment measurements towards the bottom of the post.)
The next version I made was this denim-blue top, made the same as the first, but with a slightly wider neckline. (For a wider neckline, trim 1/2 inch off the top of the sleeves, front and back bodice pattern.)
I like the blue top in general, but it was a poor fabric choice. The fabric is another french terry (if you can call it that) – lots of stretch but absolutely no recovery. After wearing it for a bit, it becomes very "shlumpy". Fine for around the house, but not out and about… The fabric was an online order failure – had I seen it in person, I wouldn't have bought it.
This last top was made with a very stretchy tissue weight knit. For this version, I lowered the neckline, made the sleeves 3/4 length, added an inch to the sleeve cuff and left of the bottom band. I left the bottom un-hemmed in the photo, only because I was out of time, but I do plan on hemming it with my double needle.

text: In the last few albums Dr. John has unquestionably been reinvigorated and recorded some memorable sides, but on this latest set he has surpassed even those high standards by serving up a musical Cajun stew that promises to be one of the very best of his career. Indeed it is in many respects a return to the 'Gris Gris' era, though with contemporary influences adding to the cosmopolitan nature of the project that include both Afrobeat and Ethio-jazz flavours. For dancefloor delight, it is difficult to outdo the superb 'Get away' which has featured heavily on radio play while New Orleans style soul has rerely been better executed than on 'God's sure good', another album highlight. What is surprising here are the new influences such as the Ethiopian jazz inflections on 'Revolution, another winner of a song, or the Afrobeat brass that underpins 'You lie'. For the more subtle side to Dr. John's extensive repertoire, look no further than the subtle keyboard work displayed on 'My children, my angels'. This pulsating series of songs is no less than a late period masterpiece. Tim Stenhouse

Measurement of serum total antioxidant status in patients with community acquired pneumonia: correlation with the severity of the disease
AbstractOxidant/antioxidant imbalance has been reported in various respiratory diseases including pneumonia. The purposes of this study were the measurement of total antioxidant status in the serum of patients with community acquired pneumonia (CAP) and the investigation of the probable relationship between TAS and the severity of the disease. Thirty patients (22 males, 8 females, mean age 48±21 years) were studied. Clinical, laboratory and radiographic data obtained on admission as well as on the 7th day of the hospital stay were recorded. At the same time points, serum TAS was also determined using a colorimetric method at 600 nm. TAS values on admission (TAS1) were significantly lower compared to TAS values obtained on the 7th day of the hospital stay (TAS2) (0.84±0.13 mmol/L vs 1.00±0.17 mmol/L, respectively, P=.0001). There was a positive association between TAS1/TAS2 ratio and the change in the severity score (r=.50, P=.007). TAS1/TAS2 ratio was inversely related to PaO2 on admission (r=.47, P=.008). Furthermore, the change in TAS was positively related to white blood cell count on admission (r=.399, P=.029) and significantly greater in patients at risk for CAP (P=.01) as well as in patients with Gram(-) pneumonia (P=.032). Another interesting finding is that TAS1/TAS2 ratio was significantly higher in patients with bilateral pneumonia (P=.023). In conclusion, low TAS values in patients with CAP suggest the presence of oxidative stress. The decrease in TAS values may be useful in estimating the severity of CAP and in determining the appropriateness of antioxidant administration in selected cases. Pneumon 2002, 15(3):295-304.

Beyond Genghis Khan: how looting threatens to erase Mongolia's history
I t's a sunny, late summer day in northern Mongolia's Darkhad Basin – a large glacial lake basin nestled against the country's Russian border. To the south stretch the grasslands of the Eastern Eurasian Steppe; to the north, the Siberian boreal forest. We stand – almost precisely – at the place they meet, at the forest's edge overlooking a large, grassy valley the administrative district of Ulaan Uul. We've come to this site, known locally as Khorigiin Am, in response to reports from local herders of bones and artifacts lying on the ground surface. What we find is shocking –scraps of silk, hastily scattered pieces of wooden artifacts – and bone, human bone, everywhere.
My companion, Dr J Bayarsaikhan, finishes a tally of the looted burial craters that dot the hillside. "More than forty," he tells me, surveying the scene in front of us with dismay. We work through the evening to salvage what we can from the dozens of looted burial mounds, which from the fragmented artifacts we find, appear to date to the time of the Great Mongol Empire – around 800 years ago.

Historiography: North Germany including West and East Prussia, and Poland
The Mennonites of Germany in general were later in joining scholars in Mennonite research than the Dutch. Gerrit Roosen was an exception when he published his Unschuld und Gegen-Bericht der Evangelischen Tauffgesinnten Christen . . . (1702). Little was written or published along these lines by German Mennonites until the middle of the 19th century when, under the influence of their Dutch brethren and scholars like Ludwig Keller, they too began to investigate phases of their history and principles and publish articles and books. The Mennonites of northern Germany were the first to do work along these lines. B. C. Roosen wrote Geschichte der Mennoniten-Gemeinde in Hamburg und Altona (2 vols., 1886-1887) and did also some genealogical research. The Familien-Chronik of the van der Smissens (1875) was published, and monographs and articles dealing with various phases of the Mennonites in the Schleswig-Holstein and Hamburg area appeared in a number of periodicals. Most significant was Robert Dollinger's Geschichte der Mennoniten in Schleswig-Holstein, Hamburg, und Lübeck (1930), which contains a fairly good bibliography dealing with this area. Heinz Münte presented Das Altonaer Handlungshaus van der Smissen 1682-1824 (1932) with a bibliography on the subject. Wanda Oesau wrote Hamburgs Grönlandfahrer auf Walfischfang und Robbenschlag vom 17.-19. Jahrhundert (1955). Scattered information about the Mennonites can be found in all major writings dealing with the economic life of the cities of Altona and Hamburg, such as A. Lichtwark's Das Bildnis in Hamburg (2 vols., 1898) and P. Th. Hoffmann's Neues Altona I (1929) 217 ff.
Some of the outstanding writings on the Anabaptists and Mennonites of East Friesland are J. P. Müller, Die Mennoniten in Ostfriesland I (1887); II (Jahrbuch IV, Emden); C. A. Cornelius, Der Anteil Ostfrieslands an der Reformation bis zum Jahr 1535 (1852); E. Kochs, "Die Anfänge der ostfriesischen Reformation" I and II, in Jahrbuch der Geschichte für bildlicher Kunst und vaterlicher Altertümer zu Emden XIX, 109-273 and XX, 1-125; H. Reimers, Die Gestaltung der Reformation in Ostfriesland (1917); J. ten Doornkaat Koolman, Kurze Mitteilungen aus der Geschichte der Mennoniten-Gemeinde in Ostfriesland ... und der Norder Gemeinde ... (1903); J. ten Doornkaat Koolman, Mitteilungen aus der Geschichte der Mennoniten-Gemeinde zu Norden im 19. Jahrhundert (1904); Blaupot ten Cate, Groningen, Overijssel en Oost-Friesland I and II (1842). Abraham Fast wrote Die Kulturleistungen der Mennoniten in Ostfriesland und Münsterland (1947).
The Mennonites of the Lower Rhine were first extensively treated by Karl Rembert in Die "Wiedertäufer" im Herzogtum Jülich (1899). The Mennonites of Krefeld were featured in Beiträge zur Geschichte Rheinischer Mennoniten (1939). W. I. Hull treated a phase of the Krefeld Mennonite Church in his William Penn and the Dutch Quaker Migration to Pennsylvania (Swarthmore College, 1935). A related study is Friedrich Nieper's Die ersten deutschen Auswanderer von Krefeld nach Pennsylvanien (1940). The economic significance of the Krefeld Mennonites was investigated by Gerhard von Beckerath in Die wirtschaftliche Bedeutung der Krefelder Mennoniten . . . (1951). The Mennonite textile manufacturers of Gronau were represented in V. Muthesius, 100 Jahre M. van Delden & Co. (1954), and Das Geschlecht Van Delden (1954).
In addition to what has been said about the Anabaptism of Münster and Westphalia in the Dutch section of the historiography it should be stated that P. Bahlmann compiled a bibliography on this subject which was published under the title, "Die Wiedertäufer zu Münster" (Zeitschrift für vaterlandische Geschichte und Altertums-Kunde, 1893; Part I, pp. 119-174). Outstanding are the source collections and writings on the Münsterites by J. Niesert, C. A. Cornelius, L. Keller, Kl. Löffler. Fiction writers and artists continue to deal with this subject. Among the dissertations dealing with the belles-lettres on this subject should be mentioned: W. Rauch, Johann van Leyden, der König von Zion, in der Dichtung (1912) and H. Hermsen, Die Wiedertäufer zu Münster in der deutschen Dichtung (1913). A more recent treatment of the Reformation of Westphalia, including the Anabaptists, was Fr. Brune, Der Kampf um eine evangelische Kirche im Münsterland 1520-1802 (1953), which contains a valuable bibliography.
The Mennonites of the Vistula area were originally featured mostly by non-Mennonites in books like W. Crichton's Zur Geschichte der Mennoniten (Königsberg, 1786), Reiswitz and Wadzeck's Beiträge zur Kenntnis der Mennoniten-Gemeinden . . . (2 vols., 1821, 1829), and Max Schön's Das Mennonitentum in Westpreussen (Berlin, 1886). However, through the Mennonitische Blätter, started by Jacob Mannhardt in Danzig in 1853, which carried many articles pertaining to the Mennonites, and the historian Wilhelm Mannhardt, who wrote the book, Die Wehrfreiheit der Altpreussischen Mennoniten (1863), interest in their own history was created among the Mennonites of Prussia. The first fruit was the brief Kurzgefasste Geschichte der Elbinger Mennoniten-Gemeinde (1883). Bruno Schuhmacher (Niederländische Ansiedlungen . . . , 1903) and Felicia Szper (Nederlandsche nederzettingen . . . , 1913) investigated the Dutch Mennonite settlements in Prussia, which subject is included also in B. H. Unruh's Die niederländisch-niederdeutschen Hintergründe der Mennonitischen Ostwanderungen . . . (1955). Walter W. Mitzka made a linguistic study, Die Sprache der deutschen Mennoniten (1931?). H. G. Mannhardt did the history of the Danzig Mennonites, Die Danziger Mennonitengemeinde (1919). Horst Penner made a study of settlements along the Vistula, Ansiedlung mennonitischer Niederländer im Weichselmündungsgebiet von der Mitte des 16. Jahrhunderts bis zum Beginn der preussischen Zeit (see also Mennonite Quarterly Review XXI, October 1949), and Gustav Reimer presented Die Familiennamen der westpreussischen Mennoniten, both of which appeared as No. 3 of Schriftenreihe des Mennonitischen Geschichtsvereins (1940). Herbert Wiebe's Das Siedlungswerk niederländischen Mennoniten im Weichseltal . . . was published in 1952. H. Nottarp wrote Die Mennoniten in den Marienburger Werdern (1929) and L. Stobbe published Montau-Gruppe . . . (1918). Horst Penner gives the best overall summary in "Anabaptists and Mennonites of East Prussia," Mennonite Quarterly Review XXII (1948): 212-225 and in his book, Weltweite Bruderschaft (1955). William T. Schreiber's booklet, The Fate of the Prussian Mennonites, summarizes the history up to 1955. Numerous articles on the Prussian Mennonites have appeared in Mennonitische Blätter, Mennonitische Geschichtsblätter, Christlicher Gemeinde-Kalender, and Mennonite Life.
Poland is one of the most neglected areas of research so far as the Mennonites are concerned. Walter Kuhn wrote some articles in Deutsche Blätter in Polen (Posen, 1928) and in Mennonite Life (April 1953). A summary of his research was presented in "Deutsche Täufersiedlungen im westukrainischen Räume" (Zeitschrift für Ostforschung IV, 1955, 481-505). The Mennonitische Blätter and the Mennonitisches Gemeindeblatt of the Galician Mennonites carried articles pertaining to this group. P. Bachmann presented a complete history of the Galician Mennonites from 1784 to 1934 in Mennoniten in Kleinpolen (Lemberg, 1934) with numerous genealogies. The Swiss Mennonites of Volhynia have been treated in a number of booklets written by descendants in America in a commemorative style. A complete scholarly presentation is still not available. The Low-German Mennonite settlements and congregations of Poland proper (Michalin, Deutsch-Wymysle, Deutsch-Kasun, etc.) have occasionally been dealt with in articles or in family and congregational histories. No complete and thorough study is available.

Stan Adler - Cello

Marc Stutz-Boukouya* - Trombone
Aleks Kolkowski - Violin
Jon Lloyd is probably best known for his work with his own quartet, which he has led since the early 1990's. The quartet has released 3 c.d.'s, toured the U.K. and appeared at festivals both here and on the Continent. Here, Jon has written a brand new suite of compositions and has chosen to use a larger ensemble, featuring a couple of members of the fertile Berlin new music scene, Aleks Kolkowski on violin and Marc Boukouya on trombone. The writing bares all the typical Jon Lloyd hall marks - intelligence, full throttle intensity, passion and a distinct sense of purpose. A welcome addition to Lloyd's expanding discography.

But even better was the data add-on of $10 per month for unlimited usage. This is the part that was too good to last forever, and it hasn't. SpeakOut has changed its pay-as-you-go data add-on to $10 per month for 100MB with additional usage charged at $0.10/MB. There is no option to buy a larger add-on for more data with the pay-as-you-go plan.
An alternative is to abandon the pay-as-you-go plan and buy a SpeakOut Value Plan instead. The cheapest value plan costs $20 for 100 talk minutes per month (way more than we ever use) and allows you to choose data add-ons of 500MB for $15 or 1GB for $25. So our monthly cell phone fees would go up from about $12 to around $35-45 depending on our data usage.
Our first instinct was to repeat the price comparison analysis which we described in the book, to determine if we should change providers. For our new analysis, we used 10 minutes talk time, 500MB data and the voicemail feature as our monthly requirements.
Our 500MB data requirement was just an estimate. We really don't know how much data we use monthly on our cell phone, because up to now, our data was unlimited so we didn't keep track. Since we mainly use our phone to check emails, it is possible that our usage will fall within the 100-350MB limit. If this is the case, then we could stay on the pay as you go plan with the $10/100MB add-on and pay the $0.10/MB for up to an extra 250MB before we reach the $35 cost of the value plan. We will try this pay-as-you-go with 100MB data add-on option for a couple of months in order to gauge what our real usage is. We can then decide whether or not to switch to a value plan.
One consideration that influenced our decision was our desire to upgrade our iPhone 3GS to a newer iPhone model. An unlocked iPhone 4S is selling for $450 at the Apple Store while the 5S is $719. Our plan had been to buy the 4S and stay with the SpeakOut, but since we were reevaluating cell phone plans anyways, we considered selecting a locked in plan for 2 years in order to get a 5S for $229. There was a Bell Lite plan at $55 month that provided 500MB of data and 1000 talk minutes. The $20 difference in monthly cell phone fees for two years would be offset by the $490 discount on the newer phone. But when we called to confirm, we found out that the discount was only for the Bell Plus plan which was $80/mth! The discount on the 5S for the Bell Lite plan was a mere $50. Who would willingly lock into a plan for 2 years to save $50?!? Then we considered buying the 5S anyways while staying with SpeakOut. This was also not possible because currently SpeakOut does not support the new nano SIM card that the 5S requires.
So finally our decision was made. We would buy an unlocked iphone 4GS, stay with our current pay-as-you-go plan and add the $10 for 100MB feature. After a few months, if we find we are regularly using more than 350MB per month, we will switch to the appropriate SpeakOut value plan.

Special Needs Project
Language Builder 3D - 2D Matching Kit--Foods
While supplies last, you save $35.04 (35%)!
Language Builder 3D - 2D Matching Kits provide the manipulative and photo materials for the most common introductory ABA and autism education lesson--matching.
The Food Matching Kit contains 16 foods and 16 photo cards:
◦ 2 each of 8 different realistic plastic foods: Apples, Cookies, Bananas, Broccoli, Carrots, Corn, Orange and Bread
◦ duplicate cards to correspond with each food.
The apples and cookies were chosen specifically to compliment the similar matching foods pictures in the Basic Stages section of Language Builder Picture Noun Cards, so you can move seamlessly to similar matching, sorting and categorization lessons. Early language acquisition begins with the ability to understand objects as distinct and separate. Before learning that pictures represent real items (picture-object correspondence), children learn to match actual physical objects. This is a regular part of developmentally healthy play.
Next, when children master the skill of matching a 3D object to a 2D image, they understand that a 2D image can represent an actual object. Now you can use pictures to teach a variety of new language and functional skills!
Language Builder 3D-2D matching kits provide the tools so you can help children meet these critical language development milestones.... 16 realistic plastic foods and 16 matching photo cards. 2 each of 8 different foods
... Foods included are apples, bananas, carrots, corn, broccoli, cookies, bread and oranges
... 4" x 6" cards on sturdy cardstock with gloss varnish on the photo-side to allow for easy wipe off, and writable surface on the back

Sometimes, picking up the Bible and seeking God's word over a decision in your life will sound as practical as eating a bowl of cereal and milk in the car as you drive. Breakfast is a healthy start to the day, but where's the time?
Even though we know to reach for the Bible, spend quiet time with our Lord, and seek His will during tough times, we'd rather figure out how to deal with our mess in the form of distractions, calculators, and complaint sessions with friends. I know what that life is about, and while I got temporary satisfaction with voicing my problems, nothing was resolved.
Many years later, I realized that the beginning of a storm is the moment that I should pull out my umbrella and check my safety items. That means pulling out my Bible and spending quiet time with the Lord.
There are times however when the situation doesn't allow for me to excuse myself to pray. I've had to go into a bathroom stall at work to speak with the Lord over a brewing storm at my workspace. I've taken quick walks to speak with Him about disturbing situations in other scenarios. I've stayed in my car for a few minutes longer to pray before entering a place of fear or conflict. There are many opportunities to invite God's presence into a crisis, long before it turns into a disaster.
Here are some good reasons to open your Bible and hear from the Lord today about a problem area in your life:
1) God already knows your fears and wants you to be brave. Read the story of Moses and Joshua in the Old Testament, and count how many times the Lord told them not to fear. That same God walks with you. Before you arrive at the Red Sea, and before you go into Canaan, He is already there and has made a way. Seek His Will and receive His perfect peace and courage over the decision you must make.
2) If you're walking in God's Will, you have the victory. I've overcome many struggles, most of which I knew for certain I didn't have the strength to face. But it didn't stop me from believing that God could do it. I would look at the problem square in the face and declare my weakness and the source of my strength. No matter how big the difficulty, I knew that the victory was mine in Christ Jesus, and you have the same victory too, if you give yourself over to God's will.
3) Seeking God's will is a less laborious experience than walking through your own and then discovering just how lost you are. I've done both–walked in my own ways and found myself in the thick of a pack of wolves, and I've also taken the time to seek the Lord's will over my life and thought I'd die from the sheer effort of pursuing it. Putting my spirit down in favour of the Lord's has meant that I am secure walking in His path and there is no comparison to the degree of comfort and joy felt at God's right hand.
In a life full of difficult and painful experiences, you receive His special graces to walk through. God equips you for what He has planned for you to walk through. So don't be afraid to invite Him into your mess.

My friend Jane Culp is a painter who lives in a strawbale house on a patch of high desert land near Anza, CA. We've known each other 30 years. Occasionally pieces of her story find their way into my poems. Often my best work comes from time spent away from my home in the paved-over world of Los Angeles. This poem is part of my second chapbook, It Isn't That They Mean to Kill You, a collection of desert poems due out through Arroyo Seco Press this summer.
The Tree
Every day
there it was
outside the bathroom window
obvious and lovely
Every day
she admired
its glossy leaves
its cloud of creamy flowers
She never brought
her sketchbook in
never lifted paintbrush
only stared
Stranded in a farmhouse
with her once-strong man
who could no longer walk
What she recalls:
a tree that spoke
her failure to reply
