I've been considering it for a while. Almost a year actually. They say if you want something, and you wait 30 days and still feel like you need it, you really want it. I really want to learn bass. There's just something about it. Its fun. It's smooth. It's a happy place between string and percussion. It's groove. Bands can do without a guitarist. They need a bassist.
I want to learn. I want to challenge myself. I want to prove that I can do something hard. I need to better myself. As of right now I have no hobbies. None. I come home every day, put on a tv show, and that's it. No fulfillment at all. No bettering myself. No challenge whatsoever. My life is boring. Well, today that all changed. I got my first bass guitar. It's a beautiful used black Ibanez gsr190. I've been hesitating for a long time because I didn't have the money to invest in starting this new hobby. That's why this guitar is so special. My girlfriend heard me talking constantly about how much I wanted to start learning. She bought it for me on a whim. I love her.
So my journey starts here. My mission is simple. I am starting from zero knowledge and I am going to spend a year learning bass. I'm going to practice 30 minutes every day. My goal is to, in one years time, gain enough knowledge to be able to play with a group.

Another (final!) installment from our Japan trip series.
It has been 2 days since we came back home. And the withdrawal symptoms are beginning to manifest itself. You know the feeling when you start comparing how the food smells less fragrant, the taste bland or the colors not as vibrant…It is too much to bear!
From outlet malls to strip malls, Tokyo has so much retail that it might just take you a life time to visit them all, but by then you'd have to start again.They seem to be building them all the time! Just google the key words "shopping, Tokyo, map" and see the thousands upon thousands of results. This must be heaven for shopaholics.
And did the missus went nuts? You bet!
There are the crowds to match. Which is probably why there is so much retail anyway, afterall supply will run up to meet with demand! I am a demand manager you'd know! So you'd need to know that aside from the many shops, there are also many people. And they come from everywhere, with probably the same goal.
And that calls for wisdom…plan how you "attack" the shops with ruthless military precision. Like the death star positioning itself for a fatal strike, timing is everything. Getting into the shops at the right time will bag you not only great bargains but also the comfort of not having to 'sardine' your way within the already narrow aisle.
I was really surprised that the missus could buy more than 15 pieces of clothing in a short time. Talk about speed shopping (probably more enjoyable than speed dating).
And it seems whichever city one travels to, somehow you will find the allure of the force drawing you to one of them places where you can perhaps buy a light sabre? At least I got to spend some time looking at boyz stuff. Most of the other days (I'd say 90%) was spent looking at girlie stuff, holding the shopping bags, queuing to pay and finally paying the bill. The rest was spend eating quickly…though nicely.
All good it is now over!
With this post, the withdrawal symptoms have subsided, I am back to my normal self and the jedi trick the missus had pulled a fast one over me has faded. Your jedi mind tricks do not work on me anymore! No more shopping for a month!

September 11: A View from London
Frances Presley
In this short discussion I want to examine some of the wider issues raised by How2 contributors and others, in response to the terrorist attacks of September 11. Ive also embarked on a new piece of writing which is a response to the aftermath of September 11, but in terms of Londons particular history. The impact of the IRA bombing in the last twenty years is clearly essential to it. Im approaching the text through collaboration with a musician, and it is driven by experiments in sound and form as much as by recent events.
The symbol as trump?
The initial focus of Londons reaction to the assault on the twin towers was fear in the City. On the news we were shown pictures of workers in the City watching the images on television in bars, workers who had been told to leave their buildings. As I wrote in my postcard, the City was evacuated. The City in London means above all the stock exchange, and an undemocratically governed area of London which has jurisdiction and powers far beyond its boundaries.
The financial towers of the City were targets for the IRA long before Islamic fundamentalists set out for the twin towers. Scenes of destruction at the Stock Exchange in the early 90s were compared to the Blitz, with their falling glass and twisted metal. These towers were a potent symbol for the terrorists. As Lorraine Daston wrote in the London Review of Books: If the symbolic had not been trump, the pilots of the hijacked planes would have aimed straight for a nuclear power plant, with which they could have wreaked still more horror. [1] Although you could argue that a nuclear power plant would have entailed too much mass destruction even for the hijackers. Im not sure either if I entirely agree with her conclusion, but it is interesting: If there really is to be something like a war on terrorism, then the new challenge seems to be addressed to anthropologists and historians, sociologists and theologians, students of the symbolic rather than the technical. Its also interesting that she doesnt mention poets! As a consequence of September 11 the towers also became unavoidable symbols for us, even appearing in our dreams. It is a symbol that we need to reclaim from the financiers and the killers. We will probably also need to reclaim it from some of the professionals listed by Daston. I have already seen an example of crude psychoanalytic interpretation.
I found myself turning to the language of fairytale and legend. It seemed as though we were all captives of the tower, locked up by wicked stepmothers or fathers. As Marina Warner says: fairytale... reveals how human behaviour is embedded in material circumstance. [2] My own new/ old fairytale was also a saints tale. The image of the tower brought to my mind one of the mediaeval rood paintings which survived the reformation (those Puritan fundamentalists) at Ranworth church in Norfolk. This was a defaced depiction of Saint Barbara, locked in a tower by her wicked father for refusing to renounce Christianity or marry the man of his choice. Disobedience is her most attractive characteristic as a saint. She features in Christine de Pizans City of Ladies, and she also became the patron saint (no longer recognised by the Catholic church) of, amongst others, architects, bomb technicians, construction workers, dying people, firefighters... It seemed to be the connection with architects that was selected at Ranworth church, and it was through an understanding of architecture that I felt she was most likely to make her escape. For me, this would be the open architecture of the poem, with Barbara as its initial, unstable metaphor.
This architecture exists both in the form and meaning of the poem. For example, there are different floors or sections, divided by suspension points, chevrons or arrows. At times I use the layout of the poem to convey the empty spaces left by the IRA bomb craters, or the ambiguous extension of new scaffolding. The most intense and difficult sections of the poem, and those which are closest to the events of September 11, were also the most improvised. I tried to empty my mind, and allow the words and their space to take shape, sometimes through a simultaneous collaboration with musical improvisation.
I also want to consider the kind of official counter symbols I was aware of in the shadow of American flag waving. Obviously things are very different herewe havent had to suffer the same call to patriotism, and the flag has had little significance in this country for some time, except for football fans, fashion designers and Northern Irish Unionists. I say the flag, rather than the Union Jack, because increasingly, with devolution, the main flag waversfootball fans, have adopted the flag of Saint George. There are all kinds of ugly nationalisms that can and occasionally do rear their head here, but people are wary of calls to patriotism.
There have been attempts to commemorate the victims in some way or other, and I became interested in the symbol of the commemorative plaque, as an official counter symbol to mass destruction, and a way of expressing communal grief. Not long after September 11, I caught a local news item in which it was suggested that there should be a plaque for those who had died in New York in the proposed new Centre for Peace and Reconciliation. This centre is on the site of St Ethelburgas church, near the Baltic Exchange, which was bombed by the IRA in 1993. They asked people in the street what they thought of the idea, and got a mixed reaction.
Plaques are a discreet way of establishing a public memorial, and its interesting that public memorials are increasingly minimalist. I have my doubts even about plaques, including those I have given support to, indeed about any excess of symbolism, and when I took part in the unveiling of a plaque for H.D. at 44 Mecklenburgh Square, I wrote afterwards:
She is not the plaque. It is not her name. They will not find her wherever they look, nor can she be invented. /deep in the sea, broken at bulkhead 35. No one can breathe here, in the smog of Bloomsbury, in these dark narrow spaces. We know that they will be separated and write letters. She will even try to write a conventional narrative. The house is dying into its history and its damp patches. We will always see the plaque as we cycle through the Square, looking up at the nothing, the thing (rem), on the last wall of the house. We will move more slowly, until its blue light returns us to our usual time, and we spin out. Hard disk, she said, I thought it was.
Andrea Bradys talk at Birkbeck College, 100 Days, poetic pathos and political apathy is also relevant here. [3] She has researched 17th century grief, elegies and commemoration as well as the manufacture of public mourning. She looks at how the mortuary rituals, which were traditionally communal and smoothed the transition of power, have become in our individualistic society an abyss of incalculable loss, in which we celebrate private individuals.
An exception to this is the deaths of the New York fire officers, which represents a tribute to the absolute of the service economy. This tribute is in a society which largely ignores the ideal of public service. I remember how I cried for the courage of the firemen as they rescued the Thatcher government after the IRA had bombed the Grand Hotel in Brighton: They are lowering him down, they are lowering down Mr Tebbit on a stretcher. Norman Tebbit was the minister once described as a semi-domesticated polecat. I also remember attending support meetings for the firemens union in the last days before Thatcher came to power, and famously declared that there was no such thing as society.
Brady also accepts the funerals of President Kennedy and Princess Diana, in our present day society, as being emblematic rather than privatised. Im not sure that I would wish for a return to emblematic funerals of that kind. Certainly the death of Diana invoked a mass hysteria of misplaced grief, manufactured by the media. She was Media or Medea, if it had not been a soap opera. It was so difficult that I remember going into work and having to be very careful what I said and to whom. No doubt a similar kind of censorship currently exists in the States.
A language of feelings?
It seems to me that we do need a language for feelings, including bereavement, and that we cannot just leave that sort of thing to religious texts and greetings card verse. Andrea Brady convincingly writes about how the politicians pervert the language of bereavement, and use their supposed commitment to the sanctity of individual life as an excuse for waging imperialist war. She actually uses the phrase imperialist trump, and Im interested by this repetition of the word trump, as it suggests both triumphalism and our fear of it. Is this perversion of individual mourning trump, as Brady suggests, or are there alternatives? This is an issue that I touched on earlier in a Postcard about the recent Laurie Anderson concert, in response to an unexpected rendition of her greatest hit, O Superman. In particular it contains the messages on the answer phone from mom: Is anybody there? Are you coming home? I saw the news reports in which people played back the last answer phone messages from those they loved. And I was suddenly in tears because my own mother had died since I first heard O Superman, and she used to leave messages on my answer phone, which she would often end Love, mum. There is, of course, a deep irony in Andersons song and especially in the dying cadence of When justice has gone theres always mom. Anderson implies and this quotation from Catherine Lutz and Lila Abu-Lughod asks: whether the proliferation of emotion discourse in American life... provide(s) an idiom for asserting the existence of bonds between people in the face of the actual attenuation of such bonds. [4] And yet we still need to write about these bonds of love.
Brady also implies that all expression of feeling is liable to be exploited by right wing media and government: the reduction of political motivation to feelings, like maternal care, and political thinking to intuition, effectively restricts the political imaginary to local amelioration. Evidently this is true, if political motivation is really reduced to the feelings of clichéd sentiment. However, it seems to me that feelings do play an important role both in our local communities, and also in the wider political struggles. I certainly detect passion in Bradys writing. Im thinking also of some of the anti-racist struggles in this country I have been involved in, which could only be sustained through strength of feeling, fire in the belly, as well as cool understanding.
The avant-garde poetic
Linda Russos point that to be human and male is to write Poetry; to be female is talk and to grieve holds true in England as in America. We even have a male poet laureate for such occasions. It seemed hardly less true of the avant-garde when at a large benefit performance held in London there were very few women performers.
The avant-garde of its nature suggests a male militaristic activity, and historically has tended to exclude women even more than its conservative counterparts.
The architecture of the poetic sequence I am writing is by no means a traditional narrative or even a reworking of the fairytale or legend. Although in the immediate aftermath of the attack I felt reduced to linear prose, and the kind of journalistic account I was reading everyday in the papers, this was replaced by the beginning of the new collaboration in early November. Moreover, my initial account in How2 postcards was intended as a way of describing not just my own situation, but more importantly addressing the situation of the communities I care about. Arielle Greenberg asked how it was possible to be a non-narrative poet in the face of such REAL, linear surreality. It is possible, in fact it is necessary, as I discovered when my mother died unexpectedly, but it does not happen immediately, and we continue to write other kinds of discourse such as this one. Let us not forget also, speaking of surrealism, that André Bretons fame was established more by his, very accessible, prose works than his poetry. Earlier, when I tried to unravel the legend of Saint Barbara I came much closer to story telling than I do in the poem. Sometimes I use the words of those who have witnessed; though the role of the listener is always significant. The issue is not whether we do or do not write non-linear poetry all the time, but how best to realise, in all aspects of our lives, our desire for justice and love.
Andrea Brady, critical of sentimentality, finds little alternative, however, in formalist language-centred texts, which in her view alienate any certainty of shared meaning. She writes of the endless deferral of meaning (which) replicates our inabilityor unwillingnessto encounter death. I cant speak for the Language poets she criticises, though I can imagine the kind of defence they might make. I suspect that many would question the notion of an endless deferral of meaning. It is true that we struggle to share meaning which is not prey to nationalism or easy sentimentality, but that does not mean that it is endlessly deferred. It is the struggle which defines both the form and the meaning of our texts.

Here I am, it's 2:00 pm and I'm sitting in my room, upstairs and out of the dungeon, taking a break. My feet are pulsing and I can't actually express, here @ the lodge, how much I've learned from and loved this "work-ation".
When my good friend Caterina asked me to come up to Joe's Salmon Lodge I jumped at the opportunity to come and work my ass off for a couple weeks for a couple grand……………. Right?!
I quickly realized that this was going to be like running my retreats! Take good care of guests, all day long!
While Caterina and Krista (the cook and our lovely friend) attempted to have scheduled work hours, it was a full day. And, strangely enough, I enjoyed it! My days were packed with laundry, dishes, guests, cleaning, serving, cleaning, dishes, eating, then laundry! Sleep, well earned, and naps were taken.
It's been hard work. Physically. But hey…..People pay a lot of money to go to a gym and hire trainers (I know, I'm shooting myself in the foot), and I just got PAID for doing a 10 day boot camp!
Come on!
While doing the dishes I was reminded of Miguel Ruiz and The Four Agreements. "Always do your best". I bring this to my mastery of life all the time, making sure that I put in what's needed, going a step above whenever I can. Hard work never goes unnoticed. It worked here, of course. It brings me joy to know people can count on me to get a job done, well.
My experience? Well, like 10 days working out, hard, hanging out with cool people, getting fed amazing food, passing out after a 15 hour day (off and on, not like they slave drove me with a whip lol) and getting to see where and with who my good friend Caterina spends her summers.
Now, before I convince you that I worked oh so hard, there are some people who I'd like to send a huge shout out to. They may never read this but it is integral to include. The staff at this lodge have been doing this for months. They've been here all summer and they've given all they've got to provide awesome service and experiences. I watched them work late and rise early, and laugh and work. Guests left happy. Enriched. Full. And with tons of fish. Because of each of these people……Clay, Doug, Krista, Billy, Jimmy, Dustin, Siah, George, Max, Jake, Mike and many more. Thank you.
Joe's has been such a great experience for me. I am leaving tomorrow exhausted and full. I'm reminded we are all people, no matter how much money we make or what we do. I met millionaires and average Joe's (lol), hung out with the staff, met their friends and family. This place is a community. I felt right at home.
I often wonder what I am supposed to be doing with my life. Then I look around and I'm reminded. RIGHT NOW, THIS, THIS RIGHT NOW IS WHAT I AM SUPPOSED TO BE DOING. Whatever the moment entails. Be there fully.
I am excited to be tossing around some travel ideas and have no idea what's next. My weight loss/life enjoyment program is launching and my heart is wandering!
Dear life, you have so much to offer, how on earth will I see and do it all?! I am lifting the lid once again, on what's possible and taking a look.
……….. Who knows what's there!!!! YAHOO!!!!
Roger. Out. Gonna go scrounge up some grub! Namaste.

The longest I've been without my boys.
Bubbs keeps emailing me pics.
Like this one
sent at naptime yesterday.
Or this one
Subject line: yelped most scenic bottle spot
I laughed inappropriately in a meeting when I saw this awesome face.
This one actually made me cry this morning because I miss my boy so much
naked bootie breakfast
I thought I'd get a full night's sleep this morning because of no interruptions, no teething, no mama mama! at 5:45, but instead I tossed and turned all night long.

oh, he is a delicious munchkin!! i'd be getting teary, too...ReplyDelete
i've been away from h for one night before (during hospital stays and once for a wedding) but never longer. i really want to do a 4 day meditation retreat for my 30th in february, but start getting heart palpitations thinking about it. (the wrong effect?) plus -- i don't think i'd be able to look at pics??!??! rethinking this...
here's to getting home safe and sound!
T has less separation anxiety than H (I think), but I do have to say that the few overnights I've had with my hubs have been worth it.ReplyDelete
Plus, when I arrived, T barely cared to see me :) I got one kiss, then he was totally normal and happy. We're all extra snuggly since I got home, but I actually think me being gone is good for all of us. My hubs knows T SO MUCH BETTER now and they have a whole "thing."
oh um...i'm more worried about me actually ;) H is a pain in the bum with non-family members, but when it's cc or my mom or brother she'll throw out a few pathetic "mama mama mama?"s and then go about her business happily without me.ReplyDelete
she gets a lot of solo time with cc, as the weekends are generally when i say 'see ya!' and they do brunch/shopping/playground quite a bit.
i just get the ITCH for her once i've had 12ish hours away... but. i'm sure i could do it! might just have to sneak in my cell for a few texts here and there :)

Clarivate's Bibliometric Analysis of Earth System Science Research in India Shows Significant Increase in Research OutputClarivate Analytics (4:00PM)
Business Wire India
Clarivate Analytics, the global leader in providing trusted insights and analytics to accelerate the pace of innovation, has authored a study analyzing research of Earth System Science in India and the world.
The report was recently launched at National Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecasting, Noida by Dr. Harsh Vardhan, Union Minister for Science & Technology, Earth Sciences, Environment, Forest & Climate Change, Government of India and Dr. M. Rajeevan, Secretary, Ministry of Earth Sciences and other senior officers from the Ministry of Earth Sciences.
Clarivate Analytics assessed the quantity, quality, and international collaboration with global research in Earth System Science. The study also analyzed the research output of India in Earth System Science anda-also the contribution of the research institutions under the Ministry of Earth Sciences (MoES). The study covered two time-periods: 1996-2005 and 2006-2015 and focused on six research areas under the Earth System Science (Antarctic research; Arctic research; Himalayan research; Atmospheric research; Geo research and Ocean research).a-
The report, commissioned by MoES, showed that:
In the recent decade (2006-2015), India ranked first in Himalayas research (with more than 63 % of Himalaya research publications featuring an Indian author), 9th in Atmospheric research, 12th in Geo Research, 15th in Ocean research, 16th in Antarctic research and 25th in Arctic research
India more than doubled its research output in Earth System Science as measured by number of publications from 8,753 to 19,938 between the two 10-year periods
Both citation impact (0.62 to 0.72), a measure of research impact, and percentage of international collaboration (22.6% to 29.9%) in India's research, increased between the two 10-year periods
Indian contribution to research output increased from 2.6% to 3.5% of the total worldwide research published in Earth System Science between the two 10-year periods.
Indian funding organizations, such as MoES, Department of Science & Technology, the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research and the Department of Space, funded most of India's highly cited papers in Atmospheric research, Geo research, Ocean research and Himalayas research.
Top 3 MoES institutions in terms of number of publications for the two decades under study are Indian Institute of Tropical Meteorology (IITM), India Meteorological Department (IMD) and National Centre for Antarctic and Ocean Research (NCAOR).
"The report is an independent evaluation of India's research performance in earth system science and it's standing in the global research landscape in this area. It will help the research and development landscape in earth system science thereby further fostering the research awareness and research culture at the Ministry of Earth Sciences", said Dr. M. Rajeevan, Secretary,a-Ministry of Earth Sciences. "It also provides an opportunity to understand India's research strengths and weaknesses in earth system science. India can also implement measures to enhance the research and development outputs further."
"Clarivate Analytics supports scientific research and policy-making organizations around the world with scientific data, analytical tools and expert consulting services to assess and promote research impact", explained Arvind Pachhapur, South Asia Head, Clarivate Analytics. "We are honored to have the opportunity to develop a report on the research landscape in earth system science to highlight the increasingly positive contributions from India and the impact on the global research landscape."

If you think that your company or your team wastes too much time in meetings, you're not alone. Recent surveys show that two thirds of executives believe the meetings they hold are failures. Managers in the US spend 35% of their time in meetings, while higher-level executives spend half of their days in them. People often joke that meetings are a waste of time, but executives shouldn't be laughing about their office's poor meeting skills.
- 15% of a company's collective time is spent in meetings
- 92% of people surveyed admitted to doing unrelated work during meetings
- $338 is the cost of an average meeting
Companies lose hours and thousands of dollars in unproductive meetings. Nevertheless, businesses continue to hold more of them every year. Why do companies have such a hard time?
- 63% of meetings are planned without an agenda in mind
- Only 21% are information-sharing meetings
- Only 5% are planned as brainstorming sessions
Businesses can turn around their failing meeting practices with meeting skills workshops. Executives, managers, project leaders, and team members can all become more effective by learning to plan and engage in meetings.
Teams struggling with good meeting practices will learn how to plan with an agenda, facilitate discussions, and reach real decisions when they enroll in a meeting skills workshop. Course leaders train participants to constructively deal with interpersonal problems in the group and to listen and engage with other attendees. Teams also learn to capture decisions and objectives determined in the meetings.
Workshops tailored specifically to managers and project leaders focus on facilitating productive meetings. Team leaders learn to:
- Set an agenda before meetings
- Hold team members accountable for progress
- Determine who needs to attend a meeting
- Decide whether or not a meeting is necessary at all
A high impact meeting has clear ground rules for proceeding constructively and efficiently. It has a clear purpose that attendees agree is important. Minute takers record information for the entire group to use as reference materials later. Successful project leaders can facilitate discussion within a team and help a team reach its objectives.
Companies like Wavelength Communication Skills Training train teams to reduce wasted hours and improve engagement in meetings. Meetings with clear and stated purposes can become opportunities to share creative solutions and reach strategic decisions. Successful meetings:
- Last 30 minutes or less
- Stay focused on key objectives
- Encourage discussion from all attendees
- Capture action items
Wavelength Communication Skills Training offers workshops that energize meetings and build stronger working relationships within teams. Course facilitators help teams to create a common language they can use to trim down the length of meetings and make more decisions. Good planning leads to meetings that enable creative problem solving and greater productivity. Wavelength creates unique hybrids of its available courses depending on a company's needs. In the past, they have blended high impact meeting workshops with courses on writing technical and business reports.

Show Stopper
We often call little sister our "Show Stopper" because when we are out in public she regularly receives attention from those seated near or passing by us. She is SO cute, and so tiny, I think people don't expect her to be holding her head up, sitting, and wiggling as much as she does. Of course, we also get lots of commentary on the hair. WB has never been jealous of the attention his sister receives, on the contrary, he's just as proud as we are.
Today, after a wonderful lunch with our dearest friends, we went to the mall to exchange my Mother's Day gift. (The PURSE, but that's a(whole)nother story!) As we begin our decent down the escalator, I see a couple of women at the bottom of the escalator next to us. They are beginning their ride up and DoriGrace has already captured their attention. They are obviously talking about her, as they point and smile in our direction. As we pass, they say, "She's just adorable, look at that hair!" We smile, no doubt beaming with pride, and say, "Thank you."
When we reach the bottom and exit the escalator, WB turns to me and says, "You know Mom, they were looking at me first."
OK, so maybe we will have some sibling rivalry someday after all...
I've had such a great day! Surely, the best Mother's Day on record for me. I am so blessed and I feel very loved and appreciated today. Isn't that what it is all about?
I hope yours was just as wonderful!

When we first started clearing the 10 acres, I wouldn't let them push down anything that over six inches in diameter I think! My daddy at time had said...."now Jeannie Dale, you need to let them clear out these trees....clear them all off where you want to build you house."
Smart as we were, we thought he was wrong. Not! We cleared enough trees for a long winding driveway and a spot for the house. We left several big oaks especially and some were pretty close to the house.
Isn't there a song with ....regrets...I have a few..? Well, I do have a few regrets. And we should have listed to my dad!
Over the years, we paid again and again for a bulldozer to come back and "get a few more trees." Then there was an ice storm and that took care of some.....bulldozer again. Then there was Katrina and even being eight hours away from the coast, Katrina took care of about 17 trees for us......bulldozer again.
And you think, well a downed tree can be cut up for firewood and it can. If you burn wood. We started out with a wood burning fireplace in our home and that lasted about a year or so before we decided gas logs was much easier to fool with. And even if you do cut up trees for firewood.....do you have any idea how big those stumps are! After Katrina, the bulldozer dug a hole in our yard that you could have backed a tractor-trailer rig into. That's what it took to get rid of the stumps.
So, when we started clearing this lot, I had much less sentimental value over the trees. Yes, we wanted to keep some, but it was much easier to say....take it down! Daddy would be so proud of me))) He hasn't seen the lot yet, but I'm to drive him over soon. His 95th birthday comes up in May so he's seen a lot of tree clearing in his days)))
It's really difficult to tell exactly what you're getting in a lot until you start clearing. Measurements just don't mean anything much to me, I have to see a stake with a ribbon on it! This clearing was just on the first day, and that brush pile has really grown and grown.
We had all the pines pushed down. Pines are beautiful trees, but having learned from experience, their roots are shallow and they will blow over.
You can see the slope of the lot much easier after the clearing started. This is important when choosing a house plan. For instance which side of the house would it be more feasible to put the driveway on? For ours, according to the builder, the driveway would work better on the left, then build up on the right. Otherwise we would be getting out of the car and having steps up to the house level.
Choosing your builder is the next step after finding your lot. For our lot, it was in a development that the builder owned, so it was easy for him to give advice to us about the lot. He knows every inch of the property. But we shared a printed off view of a few houses we were interested in. Whatever you do, don't purchase house plans without the builder looking at your lot first. Our lot is wider in the front, more narrow to the back, so we needed a house that had a wide front, or that's what we wanted anyway.
Then the rains set in. Yes, that's part of building a house. You get so excited and worked up that the actual process has started, then everything comes to a screeching halt. Once it's dry enough the brush pile will be disposed of, burned likely, and then the final bulldozing and clearing up done. Already we can see a few more trees will need to come down. Gosh, never believed I would hear myself saying that!

Pokemon Card Overview:
Today's Pokemon Card Review is of Dusknoir FB from the Supreme Victors set. This is a basic, SP, psychic type Pokemon card, with an hp of 90. It has a x2 weakness to darkness type Pokemon, a -20 resistance to colorless type Pokemon, and a two colorless energy card retreat cost. It does not have a Poke-Power or Poke-Body but it does have two moves, the first move is called Ghost Hand and for two energy cards, one each of psychic and colorless, it does 30 damage however you then have to put one damage counter on what of your own Pokemon. Dusknoir's second move is called Cursed Wrath and for three energy cards, two colorless and one psychic, this move does ten damage times the number of SP Pokemon you have in your discard pile.
Pokemon Card Strategy:
So as far as strategy goes, there are two things you are going to have to do in order for this card to work well, the first is to make sure you have a Pokemon card in your deck that is benefitted by putting damage counters on your own Pokemon and the second thing you need to do in order for this card to work is to have a way of discarding SP Pokemon without having them feint so that Cursed Wrath can do more than zero damage. Other than that, the strategy is straight forward, just use whatever move will do the most damage to your opponent.
Pokemon Card Rating:
I would give this card a 1 out of 5 rating. In my opinion, this card is horrible, not only does it do damage to your own Pokemon, but it can't do much damage at all to the defending Pokemon unless you get your own Pokemon knocked out. So definitely look for other Dusknoir cards out there, this is one of the worst cards possible for Dusknoir.
Tomorrow's Pokemon Card:
So thanks for reading today's Pokemon card review of Dusknoir FB from the Supreme Victors set, stay tuned for tomorrow's card review of Empoleon FB from the Supreme Victors set.
A blog dedicated to Pokemon cards! Get my thoughts on the newest sets in the Pokemon TCG, find strategies for competitive play, as well as tips for collecting.

I have this one, never really used it much since SP pokemon were my thing and I have to agree, not much use for it. I like Aerodactyl GL, feel it is a good card for drawing cards you need, better than Farfetch'd HGSS IMO. Oh yes, I have two YouTube accounts, darthhideous8 and Seabourch, the latter is for uploading vidoes of me opening packs, only got three so far but will try to do more in the future if I feel like it.

Angelos Kalitzeos, Rebekka Heitmar; Influence Of Selected Retinal Vessel Length On Dynamic Vessel Analyzer Output. Invest. Ophthalmol. Vis. Sci. 2014;55(13):236.

To assess the impact of retinal vessel length on continuous retinal diameter measurements, when applying flicker light provocation in healthy subjects using the DVA (Dynamic Vessel Analyzer).
The DVA is a commercially available unit which is capable of recording vessel diameter fluctuations as a function of time and location with high temporal and spatial resolution. We obtained retinal vessel diameter responses of eleven healthy subjects (one arterial and one venular segment, 1-2 disk diameters away of the optic nerve head) following intraocular pressure and systemic blood pressure measurements. The diameter measurements were recorded during a 350 seconds period consisting of 50 seconds baseline followed by three cycles of 20 seconds flicker light provocation (12.5 Hz) and 80 seconds recovery time. All vessel segments were analysed twice: firstly by including the maximum length as selected (limited only by each individual's angio-architecture) and secondly by analysing a truncated, standardized length of 240 MU. For each vessel length analysis, the vessel diameter output (in Measuring Units (MU), with 1 MU corresponding to 1 μm for the Gullstrand's normal eye) was plotted against time (in seconds). A second-by-second subtraction of the retinal vessel diameter recordings, during flicker stimulation between the long and the short segments per subject, followed. If vessel length had no impact, the subtraction between the two plots would yield values equal to 0 MU.
The long versus short selected vessel segments yielded unequal diameter recordings: across subjects, arterial segments differed on average (± standard deviation) by 5.4 MU (± 1.8 MU) and venular segments by 7.5 MU (± 5.4 MU) across the full recording duration.
Retinal vessel reactivity recordings by means of flicker provocation as obtained with the DVA are influenced by the length of the vessel selected. Hence, vessel diameters recorded should be truncated to the same length for group comparisons to avoid this influence as it could potentially lead to falsely augmented or attenuated results.

U.S. and European officials met today in Brussels regarding the possible extension to Europe of the large personal electronic device (PED) ban now in place on flights from 10 Middle East and North Africa airports to the U.S. According to a statement from the Department of Homeland Security released following that meeting, officials will meet again in Washington next week to "further assess shared risks and solutions for protecting airline passengers while ensuring the smooth functioning of global air travel".
"And surely there must be a way to screen electronic equipment effectively at airport checkpoints", he said. As it proclaims, European travel is ridiculously lucrative for the airline industry: "The route between Europe and the U.S.is the busiest global corridor in the world".
"Any threats that affect the US are the same for Europe".
In March, the U.S. authorities banned passengers on direct flights to the USA from 10 airports in eight countries from taking laptops, tablets and other electronic devices larger than mobile phones into the cabin, for fear that a bomb could be concealed in them.
"An expanded electronics ban would disproportionately affect airlines' most profitable customers-business travelers", Harteveldt continues.
During a recent security summit in Washington, D.C., the industry urged regulators to adopt "short-term" measures to counter the potential threat from electronic devices.
"You're always weighing convenience against security", said Sen.
Splatoon 2 Switch Bundle Headed to Europe
For early adopters of the Nintendo Switch, ARMS is the first new major IP on the horizon for the console/portable hybrid. Nintendo's made it more than clear that we can look forward to details about their two upcoming flagship Switch titles.
The flip side of all of this is whether a laptop ban serves a greater goal. Extending it to the 28 European Union states plus Switzerland, Norway and Iceland would impact a further 390 a day, or more than 2,500 a week, the International Air Transport Association (IATA) estimates.
A final decision on the ban has not yet been made - DHS Secretary John Kelly continues to consider input from partners, including airlines, the US and European governments, and the "scale and scope" of what the ban might entail, said Lapan.
Visitors from Britain, Germany and France spend $31 billion each year on tourism and airfares to the U.S., according to the U.S. Travel Association.
It's estimated roughly two-thirds of travellers on transatlantic flights fly with an electronic device larger than a cellphone, which would mean checking all carry on bags would require an increase in security.
At the Delta area of the Cincinnati airport, a sign warned passengers that beginning Friday on flights returning to the USA any electronic devices other than a cellphone would have to be placed in checked baggage.
The British Airline Pilots' Association said the USA plan was potentially "catastrophic". "Not allowing them to bring their devices on the plane reduces productivity".
"Any threats that affect the USA are the same for Europe".
The Avril Lavigne-Melissa Vandella Conspiracy Theory Has Returned
Since then, though, more and more people have found evidence for the theory, attaining a sort of crowd-sourced legitimacy. One other said, "Just got up to date on the Avril Lavigne conspiracy theory.it nearly had me believing it".
"People have grown accustomed to traveling with electronics", Grella said.
Some are concerned that storing more lithium ion-powered devices underneath the plane could pose new safety threats. "However, the question remains whether the targeted application of policies banning personal electronics is an effective measure to reduce the risk of terrorism".
This also soothes worries the industry has about stowing chunks of lithium away from view in aeroplane holds, seeing as burning batteries are becoming rather commonplace these days and when they ignite dad's trousers in the hold all hell could break loose.
A 1 percent shift in business travel costs could lead to the loss of 71,000 jobs, almost $5 billion in economic growth, $3 billion in wages and $1.2 billion in tax collections, according to the GBTA. Information obtained by a USA raid on an al Qaeda compound in Yemen indicated a new explosive chemical that is hard to detect may have been discovered by bomb makers.
In the past, IATA, which represents the interests of the world's airlines, has argued that the current ban - and by extension, any additional bans - is unnecessary, ineffective, and harmful to travelers, the travel industry, and the economy at large. Delta Air Lines, United Airlines, American Airlines and British Airways are responsible for 60 percent of nonstop flights from Europe, according to CNN. It turned out the information Trump offered was related to the laptop ban the U.S. imposed a few months ago on certain Middle Eastern countries, and which it planned to extend to all of Europe.
Industry groups worry about the economic consequences of expanding the ban to more flights. Plus, hold-luggage usually goes through a more sophisticated screening process than carry-on bags. The White House has since considered widening the scope of the ban to not only include flights originating from the United Kingdom but the entirety of Europe.
The group estimated a $1.1 billion impact on passengers per year due to lost productive time, longer travel time and harm to "passenger well being".

Now Kyga is no more and Jenner's a cosmetics mogul, thanks to her mesmerizing social-media posts (she notoriously does not purchase ads).
Monaco 4-0 Lille
Normally such a reserved character, Jardim jumped off the bench and pumped his fist vigorously as he shuffled along the touchline. Lacazette needs two goals to both beat his career best and reach 100 league goals for Lyon , which could be a fitting farewell.

Of Being Grouped and Ungrouped
Before I explain, let me say I can't stress enough the importance of authors having a website, or a webpresence. For crying out loud, it's free to set up a blog, and you don't have to run it like a blog. You can run it like a website, with pages for bio, books, other works and then use the "blog" feature for news updates. It's a pet peeve of mine when authors don't have some web presence – when I'm doing background for interviews for Spinetingler if I can't find information about the authors online it makes it nearly impossible. Plus, when you're moderating a panel at a convention and there's no author information, how do you introduce them?
Anyway, yesterday I had another experience that reminded me of just how important a web presence is, when someone contacted me and asked if I knew a certain author. The author in question has no web presence whatsoever… And the reason for wanting to make contact was a good one: A conference committee was considering asking this author to teach a workshop. The problem? Nobody in the local writing community knew him and there was no obvious way to contact the guy.
Now, you can get a blog for free. You can also get on MySpace for free. I've had a dismissive attitude toward MySpace. Seemed to me like a central hub for pedophiles and teenagers, and I find most of the MySpace pages I've ever looked at incredibly frustrating. I know 'everybody's doing it' but I just couldn't be bothered.
Which is, quite possibly, why I didn't know about the Ning thing and the central hub system…
But Daniel Hatadi did and he has set up Crimespace, a central hub for authors and fans of crime fiction, a virtual bar. Such a thing hasn't existed online since the Mystery Circus was shut down.
I always thought something like this was a good idea, and Anne Frasier and I had been discussing doing something like this for a while. Now we don't need to. Daniel's gone and done it already.
I hope people will check it out and give it a chance. If I can figure out how to feed my own blog to the mypage blog I have there now, I'll be all set.
In Other News
This is just a matter of clarification. As I am no longer in Killer Year I am officially stating, for the record, that I will not be participating in their anthology.
And I'm still working on updating and fixing my links. I'm making a list…

I read an article about Ning the other day and within about five minutes I grabbed the crimespace moniker before anyone else thought of it. Spent the next few days getting familiar with the tools, trying to make it a little pretty (if only it was possible to read black text on a black background), then I sat on it.
Then I thought, well, it's free. If it doesn't work, it doesn't matter. At the very least it'll be a great place for readers to stumble on who are looking for new and cool authors.
At the most, it really will turn into a massive and popular bar for crime fiction lovers.
Thanks for the plug, Sandra.

If you got a list, I wanna be on it.
Oh wait, I am.
*dodges bullet*
And yeah, thanks, Daniel. One more blog I can obsess over never updating. Thank you sooooo much.

authors not having web sites also bother the reader...there are a large number of authors whose only familiarity with a computer extends to the programs they write with, so they are hardly likely to have any sort of web presence...sad but true

You can always be counted on to have the most interesting links. If writers were a crime family- you would be very connected.

Eager to further her education, she then went on to graduate from the former Lowell Commercial College.
Among her many activities Rita loved the beach, traveling to Florida, going on cruises and solving various types of puzzles. She was also an avid fan of the Red Sox and Patriots.

Walsh of Dracut, MA; a sister-in-law Elizabeth Blais of Saugus, MA; two cousins Marlene Johnston and her husband Charles of West Palm Beach, FL and James Walsh and his wife Linda Sue of Hudson, NH; and many nieces and nephews.
She was also predeceased by her young daughter Annemarie Quigley.
Rita's family would like to thank the doctors, nurses and staff at D'Youville Advanced Therapy and Lowell General Hospital for the outstanding care, compassion and comfort they extended to her while in their care.

Sarah Hyland, famously gorgeous as Haley Dunphy in Modern Family, liked to think of herself as Carrie Bradshaw when she was growing up.
"I always loved fashion – who doesn't love dressing up in their mother's clothes? And I was in New York and my name was Sarah so I just wanted to be SJP," she says. "I wore heels most days to school, despite there being four flights of stairs to the classrooms."
She doesn't rule out creating her own fashion line one day, having co-designed the dresses she wore to the Emmy's for two years running, first with Christian Siriano and last year with Marchesa's Georgina Chapman, but for now – on a break from the SAG award-winning sitcom that has put her in the big league, she's spreading her wings a bit. So far that's meant living a nocturnal life in London over the summer (as a result of filming Vampire Academy: Blood Sisters, mostly at night, rather than hitting the party scene too hard – though ask her about her experience of London so far and Mahiki does feature), and playing Blanche Barrow in the Bonnie & Clyde: Dead And Alive miniseries that is due for release in the autumn.
Meeting the 22-year-old actress – who has been acting since the age of four; has played daughter to Jennifer Aniston and Brooke Shields; and decided she wanted to have her own production company at the age of nine – for the first time and you expect a) precocity beyond description and b) insane feelings of jealousy – but surprisingly you get neither.
"I don't know how I, of all people, ended up with this 'hot girl in bikini' reputation – with all the amazing looking people in LA," she says, laughing. "It's flattering of course, but it's weird." Undoubtedly PR-aware, her statements are considered but genuine – she clearly has brains to go with talent and looks, which make a great recipe for staying power.
Having successfully avoided the fame thing so far, she baulks at the word 'celebrity' and has mastered a British accent while she's here so that when stopped and asked, "aren't you the girl from…?" she can deny it and give herself a false name and a "but thank you so much, I'm flattered." Sweet.
And whatever happens, she'll be sticking with Modern Family. "I'd be an idiot not to. My dad is an actor and he's always said that what you want is that one show that goes on for years, that gives you a steady pay check and keeps food on the table and a roof over your head."
She has plenty of reasons to stick with it, not least because her co-star Sofia Vergara sets a great example of a great actress whose brains make her looks work for her. "I really look up to her as a business woman," says Sarah. "She's so great at being the hot commodity of boobs and red lipstick and bikinis at the same time as working for Pepsi and CoverGirl and Kmart. I admire her for saying, 'look I'm not going to be this hot forever so I have to be smart about it.' Though looking like she does, you kind of want to say, 'I think you're good for a while.'"
So as her fame grows and her repertoire broadens from "hot girl in bikini" to the fake pimples her Vampire part requires and the short bob, Southern accent and MAC Desire lipstick of Barrow ("I stole it from the set, I LOVE it"), will the SJP in Hyland resurface? "It's not at the forefront right now but I love the fashion aspect of my job," she says. "But do I make all the right choices? No."
