Principal Bob Beaudet and myself getting the books ready to send to schools.
Thursday, June 13, 2013
book drive becomes a reality at Williams
I am so pleased to announce that our fundraiser for schools in need raised enough money to purchase 26 new books for three schools in Massachusetts and one in Oklahoma that was devastated by the tornado. In addition, our students donated new and gently used books to support the effort. Each school will received one box with 26 new books dedicated to the 26 victims of the Sandy Hook tragedy. They will also receive two more boxes each with the additional donated books. I am so proud of the Williams community's commitment to community service. Great job by a great school!

The biggest publicly held oil company, ExxonMobil
For the quarter reported Monday, Exxon earned $9.25 billion, or $1.85 per share, compared with $6.05 billion, or $1.27 per share, in the fourth quarter of 2009. Analysts had a consensus expectation of $1.67 per share. Revenue increased 17% to $105.2 billion, versus $89.8 billion a year ago.
There were a number of factors behind the improved results, including increased production, which, on an oil-equivalent basis, was up 19% year-on-year. Partially as a result, the company's upstream earnings grew about 29%, to $7.5 billion. Liquids production was up nearly 6% in the quarter, while natural gas output was up 37%, based on the boost to U.S. unconventional gas output that resulted from the acquisition of XTO Energy, along with increased production in Qatar.
Downstream earnings jumped to $1.15 billion, compared with $189 million in the year-earlier quarter. At the same time, a substantially lower tax rate appeared to benefit the results. At just below 38%, the rate for the most recent quarter was nearly two percentage points below the year-ago rate and even further below analysts' expectations.
But of even more importance in looking at Exxon's quarter and full year was the company's transition through acquisitions to its new status as the largest natural gas producer in the U.S. In June, the company completed the $41 billion purchase of XTO, with its 45 trillion cubic feet of gas. Then, effective Oct. 1, Exxon agreed to pay $575 million for Petrohawk Energy's
Just last week, Exxon released its latest version of "Outlook for Energy: A View to 2030," in which the company posited a shift toward natural gas. Given both environmental and geopolitical considerations (Can you say Egypt?), it's difficult to disagree with that belief, which obviously was the impetus behind the natural gas acquisitions.
There are other significant events occurring at Exxon. For instance, the company has announced an agreement with Russia's Rosneft to jointly develop oil and gas resources in the Black Sea. Rosneft is also involved in a new partnership with BP
There are numerous other points to be made about Exxon, but I think you get the point: The biggest of the Big Oil companies is faring extremely well at a time when it is undergoing major change.

That was my mom's response yesterday when I told her my anxiety had reached a point that I would either need to check in to a hospital or knock myself out on Xanax for a few days. Either way, I was losing decision making and problem solving function and about to be unavailable to anyone for anything.
That was her response.
Kind of like the upstairs neighbor, I wasn't even mad, I just didn't know what was going on. Huh?
So I calmed myself as best I could, went back to grandma's, tried to stay calm, handled work the best I could, was very pleasant, and tried to make a plan to reduce my responsibilities as much as possible for a couple of days.

I wrote the following words on Good Friday, but due to the crush of Holy Week for someone in my profession, I did not send them out. The news cycle has moved on from the shootings at two KC Jewish institutions, but I feel these words are still worth sharing now (and hopefully worth reading).
I attended the interfaith memorial service for William Corporon and Reat Underwood who were killed last Sunday at the Jewish Community Center and Terri LaManno who was killed a few minutes later at Village Shalom. The terrorist attack by a white-supremacist maniac shook Kansas City. The victims were all Christians, but the intended targets were Jews. Church members who knew I was attending the service looked for me on the TV broadcast, but when all the clergy present were called up to the stage I was in the very back and could not be seen. That's just fine with me, because I wasn't there to be on TV. On the back row, I got to put one arm around an Imam and one arm around a Rabbi while we sang "Oseh Shalom." That was a special moment for me.
One of the speakers at the service declared that Jesus was killed by the Roman occupying army rather than by Jews. I was glad to hear that said, but I wish he had stated it even more clearly, perhaps repeated it two or three or a hundred times, because the message doesn't seem to be getting out there. The historical and biblical fact that Jesus was killed by Roman authorities has eluded Christians throughout the centuries and continues to elude many today. The idea of Jews as "Christ killers" has been an excuse for atrocities against Jewish people for centuries: ethnic cleansing, pogroms, the Holocaust, etc. The image of the Jewish "Christ killer" has been propagated by such notable figures as Shakespeare (think Shylock in the Merchant of Venice), Martin Luther and Henry Ford (who distributed the scurrilous tract The Protocols of the Learned Elders of Zion). The hateful idea spreads not just by the lunatic fringe spouting conspiracy theories about Jewish world domination but also by preachers in church pulpits around the world who declare, "Jesus was killed by his own people."
To be fair to those preachers who preach, "Jews killed Jesus," they are only preaching from the Bible. In Matthew 27, the Roman governor Pilate speaks to a crowd who demand Jesus' death. It reads: "All the people answered, 'His blood is on us and on our children!'" This verse has been interpreted for centuries to mean that not the Roman authorities, not just the crowd saying those words but all Jews in every time are responsible for Jesus' death. Similarly, the Apostle Paul, who elsewhere has positive things to say about his kin, states in 1 Thessalonians 2: "the Jews who killed the Lord Jesus and the prophets and also drove us out. They displease God and are hostile to everyone." The Gospel of John doesn't help matters much by its depiction of "the Jews" a term it uses about seventy times. "The Jews" don't come off too well in John, especially in chapter 8 where Jesus says to some Jews who believed in him, "You are from your father the devil, and you choose to do your father's desires." If Jesus said that about the Jews who believed in him, how bad were the words he used about the Jews who didn't believe in him? The idea that Jews are "children of the devil" has inspired depictions of Jews with horns and cloven hoofs for over a thousand years.
Historians and critical interpreters of the New Testament argue (persuasively, I think) that these early Christian writings came about in a time when Judaism and its daughter religion Christianity were parting ways. Like all family fights, this particular fight got nasty. Furthermore, it should be noted that the early Christians (many of whom were in fact Jewish) wrote from the point of view of a minority movement rather than a majority one. These verbal attacks against Jews were read differently when Christianity became the official religion of the Roman Empire.
Furthermore, historians and critical interpreters point out that while some Jewish religious leaders-particularly the Jerusalem elite-may have conspired to have Jesus killed, only Rome had the power to crucify someone. The decades before and after Jesus' death are filled with plenty of rabblerousers being executed by Roman authorities. Rome feared the power of crowds to assemble and wreak havoc. The reason Pontius Pilate bothered to come to Jerusalem every year during Passover was because he was worried about all those Jews gathering together celebrating their victory over another subjugating empire (read Exodus if you've forgotten that story). A Jewish rabbi who was being hailed as the King of the Jews and the Messiah would not have been tolerated by Roman authorities. The first and second centuries C.E. contain numerous leaders of Jewish revolts who claimed to be God's Messiah; Rome killed all of them too. The so-called "cleansing of the Temple" when Jesus drove out the money changers would have been seen as a threat to Jerusalem's religious establishment, but to the Romans it would have appeared Jesus was inciting a riot. Such troublemakers were quickly disposed of by the might of Rome.
Critical historical inquiry of the New Testament doesn't stop hatred of Jews-at least not in and of itself. What really changes people are relationships. When people encounter others as people rather than as an abstract concept, common humanity is found. Ultimately, interfaith relationships are what reveal the lies of anti-Semitism. Jewish New Testament scholar, Amy-Jill Levine, in her wonderful book, The Misunderstood Jew: The Church and the Scandal of the Jewish Jesus, writes these words:
"To engage in interfaith conversation means to understand that what is dogma to one participant is danger to another, that what is profound may also be painful. Jews and Christians need to read the texts together. Christians need to recognize the impact that the problematic [New Testament passages] have had on Jews. In turn, Jews should be aware that most Christians do not consciously read the texts anti-Jewishly and even resist any anti-Jewish implications. Although the New Testament can be seen as anti-Jewish, it need not be. Words-inevitably-mean different things to different readers. We need to imagine how our words sound to different ears."
For centuries, Christians have declared Jews are "Christ killers" to justify violence against Jews. We have a lot of years to make up for, so we had better get started calling out that lie. Let's hope it doesn't take two thousand more years to eradicate it. May we be bold declaring our love for our Jewish brothers and sisters, so that we might drown out the voices of hatred and violence raised against them.
Grace and Peace,
Here are some related writings on the subject that I found meaningful to read:
- Paul Brandeis Rauschenbush--"The Thing I Never Want to Hear on Good Friday Again"
- Hampton Stevens--"Frazier Glenn Miller Would Like to Kill Every Jew Like Me"
- KC Star Editorial--"Senseless Act of Violence at Two Jewish Centers Steals Three Lives in Overland Park"

Update March 3rd 2014
In 2010, a Chicago Berner owner and active BARC foster/transport volunteer, Julie Greco, was devastated by the news that her first failed foster, Chloe had MH. Chloe was just six years old, the same age that Julies first Berner, Monty, died of the same disease. Julie had been training to run the Chicago Marathon for about a year. She had been dedicating her training races (usually ½ marathons) to dogs of friends that have passed by wearing a button. As she waited on pins and needles for Chloes diagnosis, she pleaded in one post please, no more buttons. Sadly, that plea didnt reach the right ears. During the hardest part of Julies training, Chloe lost her battle. On an unusually hot October day in Chicago, Julie completed her first marathon and I have no doubt that Chloe was right there with her every step of those 26.1 miles.

Two years later, while the average age our Berners creeps out a bit longer, cancer continues to take its toll on our beloved dogs. I have sent many condolences already in 2012, and the year is barely half done. Within the span of hours on May 25th, two special dogs were touched by cancer, Sage was diagnosed with bone cancer and Charm lost his battle and ran to the Rainbow Bridge.
As their owners dealt with their grief, there was a renewed interest in creating a second Run Free fundraiser to further cancer research.
To test the waters, I created a Facebook page
to see how many people would be interested.
Much to Jaime and my surprise, within hours people all over the world responded in support of a second fundraiser.
We are happy to announce the 2012 Run Free Fundraiser, complete with new artwork and a surprise
Mock up of the the new Run Free puppy T-shirt
Mock up with the Run Free logo
Run Free tee shirts to benefit Berner Cancer Research
As in 2010, short sleeve shirts cost $20.00; long sleeve shirts are available for $25.00. Sizes run from adult small to 5X. Shipping for one or two shirts to the same address is an additional $9.00 to US addresses and $7.50 to Canada. (US postal rates have really gone up since 2010!)
We are offering combo packages of one each of both designs in short and long sleeve options. The Run Free shirt is again printed on a white shirt. The puppy shirt will be printed on an ash grey shirt.
Let's get together again to make a difference so our Berners can Run Free and Live Long. I will collect orders until August 31st. I will be submitting the orders in batches, and shipping shirts out as they come in. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me.

For a frame of reference, for Mexican food I (used to) love Cafe Azul in Portland, OR (more high-end) and Jaleo in DC (tapas), and Zaytinya in DC (Mediterranean/Middle Eastern).
And as far as Mexican, I've gotten recs on Frontera Grill and Ixcapulzaco. Thoughts?

In many fighting games, bits of story often only distract you from what really matters: the competitive action. Developer CyberConnect2's JoJo's Bizarre Adventure: Eyes of Heaven is the rare case of a fighter in which prolonged dialogue sequences between stages aren't only welcomed—they're actually preferred, as the two-on-two combat registers as a poor imitation of 3D beat-'em-ups, from the camera without a useful reposition button, which made the similar melee madness of 2004's Ninja Gaiden more intelligible, to combos that lack the fluid feel one expects from a series of well-timed blows.
Nodding to its comic-book source material, Eyes of Heaven's story mode plays like a stiffly animated cartoon between battles and falls right into the popular Japanese trend of adversaries chatting with each other before getting into showdowns. This unoriginal anime/manga routine is strangely engaging in Eyes of Heaven, thanks to dialogue that puts a sardonic spin on various tropes, including villainous threats ("The way you think is as stupid as rat shit smeared all over a toilet"), a race to acquire a powerful artifact called the Holy Corpse ("To put it simply, it's the mummified dead body of a great man who died a very long time ago"), and a hero's reluctance to conform to the script's calling for exposition ("Explaining is such a pain in the ass"). When the plot introduces a small turtle that the heroes can ridiculously teleport inside of, a character named Mista talks about being desensitized to "weird shit," serving up a metatexual critique of the predictability of manga weirdness.
This writing, while merely filler between bouts, is far more entertaining than the combat that's supposed to be Eyes of Heaven's focus. This is the first JoJo's Bizarre Adventure fighting title that takes combat beyond the standard 2D variety popularized by Street Fighter II. In giving combatants the ability to roam in three-dimensional space and turn their backs to each other (most fighting games enforce a face-to-face stance), CyberConnect2 follows the lead of the 1999 Capcom game Power Stone.
But Eyes of Heaven is missing its ancestor's logical ease of play. The camera in Power Stone allowed you to see everything that you needed to, meaning you weren't going to get hit out of nowhere due to a lack of sight. Although Power Stone benefitted from smaller arenas in this respect, there's no excuse for Eyes of Heaven's behind-the-protagonist camera, which often renders your character invisible after you fall down from a direct hit. This game also misfires with its inclusion of environmental objects that can be thrown at foes in that you have to press two buttons to pick up an object. This deviation from the more appropriate single-button press, as in Power Stone and Super Smash Bros., renders a potentially fun dynamic incredibly awkward.
Eyes of Heaven also lacks that very basic element that all good fighting games and beat-'em-ups have: a sense that your button inputs and character actions are in sync so that the game correctly rewards or punishes your hand-eye coordination. This limitation is especially unfortunate given the emphasis on tag-team play. Since Eyes of Heaven borrows so much from games like Dynasty Warriors, right down to the emphasis on mashing one button multiple times for a flashy combo, CyberConnect2 could have at least made the two-person combo as serviceable as it was in the 2004 brawler X-Men Legends, which gave you a simple bonus if you and an ally simultaneously hit an enemy with a special attack. Here, you have to activate a "Dual Combo" timer before a teammate can arbitrarily jump in on a combo. You would expect a game that prides itself on bizarreness to avoid such bureaucratic and automated design, but Eyes of Heavens is all bark.

Ty and his buddies acting silly
Ty had "Beach Day" last Friday at school. They got to wear their swimsuits and hang out outside all day playing in the sand, swimming pools, and slip-n-slides. The kids had a blast! I think they should have a "Beach Day" once a week!
This is how they ALWAYS act!
Last night we went out to dinner with some friends and then headed to the movies to see "Night at the Museum 2". Between us all, we had 10 kids between the ages of 1 and 15. Are we crazy or what? I thought it was going to be a disaster, but they were so entranced by the movie, we didn't hear a peep out of any of them! It was a super cute movie. I would recommend anyone with kids go see it!
As many of you know, we have our house up for sale. Things have really been picking up for us lately. They have showed our house 6 times in the past week and a half and we've had 2 offers on our house this week! Keep your fingers crossed for us that one of these will work out!

This is a review of some images captured within my 2013 portfolio. These are not from my abandoned places, but everything else experienced through the year. I will post a collection of abandoned places soon, but I am keeping those mainly quiet until I finish this book. The book is coming along great and nearing completion very soon.
1. Two friends sit at the edge of the lake, watching a warm sunset fall towards the horizon. Sometimes we all need to stop for a moment and appreciate the beauty around us.
2. Evening sets on the city as I look on from a window at work. The sunset, while still remaining bright and radiant, left the city streets dark and dimly lit with streetlights and cars. Still bright enough, I quickly snapped this photo hand held hanging my camera outside of the window.
3. A strong thunderstorm was approaching, yet the rain had not arrived with it just yet. This gave me a perfect chance to take a walk to the end of my friend's street and set up for some lightning photos. After many shots I was able to capture these bright bolts. The photo is composed of 2 separate bolts shot this night filling the sky.
4. We look ahead, but what we see here is not the normal view. Lake Erie has been frozen for the winter and for miles you can now see snow sitting atop the ice. A strange drift from gusting winds has opened up a hole near the shoreline where we can peer down into the lakes ice-cold waters. Normally unable to walk on, we were able to reach a couple of hundred feet out into the lakes frozen surface.
5. Hocking Hills is a very popular tourist attraction in Ohio. During the spring and summer months, even into autumn you can be sure to see tons of visitors, from anyone with a camera, to grandparents and their grand children making their way through the tunnels and stairways, winding around trees and through forest. This makes it difficult for photographers to capture a full natural aspect of the park. For this photo I combined several images, stacking them and erasing sections as tourists moved, to achieve simply the nature itself.
6. A cherry blossom tree hangs overhead. As I sat below the flowering branches reaching towards me, looking up I was reminded just how small we are compared to such a small, practically microscopic portion of our universe, while at the same time it can tower over our heads.
7. As the sun sets over the city skyline, we are left with the illuminated cityscape, watching from a distance as life begins a new part of the day. The city dies down in our outside view, but we forget that some people are stuck in an office for an extra 6 hours, finishing up work that needs to be done instead of going home to see their families like the rest of us. We forget that sometimes the night brings a sense of fear to those on the East side, trying to avoid being robbed or worse. Looking from such a distance, from the outside, we don't feel, or think of these things often.
8. At any moment, something crazy is happening in the world. This night, at a very random moment a plant near Willoughby, OH caught fire. The inferno raged on through hours upon hours of the night while onlookers stared in awe at the blazing fire, completely destroying the huge factory.
While the fire rages on, this does not stop people from performing their duties. This electrician climbs into his cherry picker and performs his duties to keep electric situations under control. I never got a chance to ask what he was doing, but I am sure protecting a power loss from surrounding areas by neutralizing this area.
9. A seagull and myself watch as my mother stands at the edge of the fishing pier, waiting for the perfect wave, simply showing the force of Lake Erie crashing over the wall.
10. Mother Nature shows of her power in some crazy ways sometimes. Waves hit this break wall and splash at heights of up to 20+ feet at times. This might not seem like a lot in comparison to other places, but this is simply Lake Erie. When strong winds blow through, it seems as though this area gets hit the hardest.
11. Fog rolls in through the warming of the night air. At about 2:30am my friends and I ventured out to take a walk through the park, finding incredible fog sweeping through the trees, illuminated by the mansion lights.
12. Dozens of ants cover their queen in battle between another colony trying to steal larvae. These battles seem to be a close resemblance to our own human warfare, our own ways of mindless anger, violence and destruction between one another.
13. A young girl picking her prize at the fair BB rifle booth.
14. Waking up early one morning, I set out to track the fog rolling in. Every way I chased it, it seemed to disappear the moment I arrived. Finally I was able to track it to a valley at Chapin Forest. For a short moment, the fog was thick enough for me to shoot some photos.
15. I seem to have a bad habit of finding myself in a less than desired placement when something like this decides to visit my area. Sometimes I am stuck to work with what I have and I try to make the best of the surrounding scenery. One day I hope to capture more great storms such as these.
16. These large, winding stone staircases wrap themselves throughout the forest at Hocking Hills Park. These, along with bridge and other various structures were constructed by the hermit Richard Rowe, who lived in the large recess cave of the gorge with his two dogs. Richard is now buried beneath the ledge of the main recess cave.
17. Venturing down into the valley of Queer Creek, we are dropped into a vast, remote, primitive chasm surrounded by steep rock walls. In the center, Cedar Falls runs down into a body of water. Cedar Falls itself is the greatest waterfall in terms of volume in the Hocking region. This lonely space is a very beautiful and powerful piece of nature within our world. Artist, architect and mathematician, Akio Hizume, designed the steps, which descend down into this valley. The falls were misnamed by a group of early white settlers who had mistaken the hemlocks in the valley for Cedars.
18. I found myself surrounded by the colors of fire; the kind of fire that would cover the world after an industrial meltdown, while at my feet, a road made of brick stretched and wound through the trees that towered overhead. A bright beam of sun shone through treetops, casting radiant rays of light through the autumn orange. The air felt chilled, but the sun was warm to my skin as I sat down in this silent section of town to photograph the scene.
19. Sometimes you just know when you see actual love, and this was one of those moments. As a man and his wife leave the store, they walk to their car. While they make their way, the man walks through the cold, bundled up child in arms, warm and asleep.
20. Snow drifts through this alleyway of trees as they tower over head, symmetrically placed in rows on either side.
21. The warm lit path winds through towering trees. On both sides, I was surrounded by beautifully tall trees, letting the light through like a soft glow from behind a transparent dining room window curtain. A calming scene, and wonderfully warm air whistled through the leaves.
22. Sometimes you need to do something out of the ordinary to get the shot you see in your mind. I had a feeling that if I were to climb out onto these conjoined trees that had fallen into the water, I would be able to capture a great perspective. Not only was I able to accomplish the desired perspective and great contrast with the autumn colors, but an awesome reflection as well. Oh, and I didn't fall in!
23. One of my favorite local rooftops, where I like to go to sit myself above traffic and shoot photos as life below goes on. As the weather began to become much more chilled, a friend and I ventured to the top of this building to shoot some long exposures. By the time we had finished, we felt frozen. It's strange to think how warm that weather truly was compared to what we have had for the last month now.
24. A frozen winter day in January, and we find ourselves looking out across Lake Erie. What better way to shoot a photo than removing all warm clothing? The lake resembles a vast, white, desert of ice. As we gaze across the surface, it seems to go for miles. You can no longer hear the splashing of water coming to shore, and the area is void of its normal life.
25. Far too many times in our lives, we let the simple beauty slip right past our vision, right past our thought. Stop for a moment and appreciate it. Something as simple as this image can bring so much feeling and thought to me. The field was empty and quiet, and as quickly as the birds had approached the tree, they were soon off again. The only sound through the vast stillness of my surroundings was the clicking of swaying branches as the birds fluttered their wings, taking off to a new destination.
26. A fire rages on in the Mentor Headlands marsh. Upon hearing the news, I knew I had to venture out and attempt to photograph everything happening. As I was driving towards my destination, I could see smoke billowing above treetops far in the distance. Not much longer, and I had arrived at the scene where I found police and fire rescue vehicles on each and every side blocking the public from getting too close. This however, did not stop me from my attempt to capture some close up photos and get in on the action. I parked at a nearby elementary school where I was able to run into a forest in back. As I walked, I watched the cloud of smoke towering over treetops, dropping ashes to my face and camera as I kept a steady pace venturing towards my destination. I finally began to hear the crackling of fire burning the marsh and could finally smell it. As my eyes began to catch drift of smoke, I knew I was close. Upon arrival to the fire, I could see a sergeant observing the situation and talking on a microphone. Thankfully the fire was so loud he was not able to hear the rustling of leaves beneath my footsteps as I approached. I ducked behind trees, shooting photo after photo of the blazing marsh, until I was finally caught off guard and spotted. With a look on his face, as he were surprised to see me, I was told to leave. Of course, before leaving, I had to rapidly scan left to right taking as many photos as I could before being more harshly yelled at and finally making my way back to the car. I ended up getting the shots I wanted.
27. The sun was shining at a perfect angle to create a rainbow, as the mist from crashing waves splashed across the parking lot of the Eastlake Fishing Pier. It was a chilled, windy day but my mother and I watched as the waves created rainbow after rainbow and I was finally able to snap this photo in the split second of its most radiant moment.
28. Icicles have formed over the constant splashing of waves across the chained fence. As the wind blew in one direction, they were formed at a slant.
29. Ohio is one of the few places you find the green leaves still clutching branches of heavily snow-coated trees. Arriving home from work, at about 1:30am as I was on the way to pick a friend up for some food, I stopped to photograph the tranquil scene of soft snow covering the road. Streetlights illuminated an orange glow in the distance through this tunnel of trees. Branches hung over top of my head, covered in bright snow lit by the glow of a bright blue winters night sky.
30. Layer upon layer of ice has covered the rocks, which line the lake. Similar to a group of peanuts covered in chocolate, a smooth coating of ice warps and waves across the stones, leaving minimal gaps in areas where there normally would be.
31. These 11 trees stand at the edge of a pond, tucked away behind the city. They cast a prefect reflection before them.
32. I sat at the edge of the beach watching a mainly dull and clouded sky as the sun set behind. With a long exposure, I captured water shifting and splashing over the rocks before me.

text:
I am writing this ten minutes after tucking my toddler into his cot with Iggle Piggle and Teddy and Thomas, after his very first utterance of: 'Love you, Mamma'.
I've been wanting to articulate how I feel about mothering a son for a while, but have never found the right moment until now.
I'm one of two girls. I'm a 'girl mum' and 'girl auntie' from way back – fourteen years back, to be precise, when I had my first daughter, followed by my second, followed by my sister's two girls… all of whom I adore in ways that I've tried to capture and have written about as if my life depended on it.
We know what to do with girls in our family. (That is until they hit their teenage years – we're feeling our way in the dark a bit there, but generally it's been simple, familiar.)
Enter the first boy in the family for generations. When I was pregnant for the last time mothers of boys would say things like 'boys are special' and 'boys are different' and 'the bond between mother and son is hard to describe.'
I thought, naively, 'What are you on with your boys are special/different rhetoric? How special and different could they really be?'
I must admit right now that I never really had a desire for a son. I'd been overjoyed that I'd had a daughter, and given her a sister.
I'm eating my words now. No, not 'eating' them, gorging on them, like someone who hasn't had a meal in days. No desire for a son? Was I mad?
Meanwhile, I ran this article by my teenage daughter and said 'Is this okay? Do you get how much I love you all, in different ways?' and she said, 'Mum, you are so weird. Seriously, It's fine!'
Having a boy is different. Not better. But it's the stuff that mother-in-law nightmares are made from. He is MINE and he always will be, in a way that I don't obsess about with my girls. This is not because I love them any less – instead because I want more for them.
I've got it all organised you see. My girls will be blissfully happy in their lives seperate from mine but we'll all still be getting together to cuddle side-by-side and chick-flicks when I'm eighty.
While I'll be happy to see my daughters move on into blissful lives with their future partners, the same is not true of my son.
In fact, in my more hideous maternal moments, I have thought: 'Who IS this girl who will take my boy away from me, decades from now?' Yes, I have.
Or guy. Maybe a guy will steal his heart? This actually seems less threatening, somehow. For you see, I am the woman in my son's life.
From the moment my daughters drew their first breaths, I saw a little bit of myself in them. I identified with their strength and femininity. I wanted the very best for them, and wanted to champion them to become independent, strong young women who would stand on their own two feet, hold their own in a boardroom, be sassy, be whatever they wanted.
I identify with my daughters in ways that can't be replicated in my son. I see much less of me in him. Perched on the upper deck of a Parisian tourist bus last year, I bawled my eyes out about being there, sharing the city with my growing-up girls – just the three of us. It was the highlight of my parenting life and I could fast-forward to their next trip there as young women, independent from me. They make me ache with pride.
But my boy – oh, no – that's different. He is different. I love how much he adores and depends on me. I love that he clings. He has me on a pedestal and I wouldn't want him jaunting off to Paris on his own! He needs his mummy! (Or is it the other way around…)
Every rational part of me rebels against how differently I feel about the two genders of my children whom I love equally. As much as I want to raise strong women, I do not want to raise a 'mummy's boy'. I despise Mummy's boys! It's just that now, I finally appreciate how Mummy's boys are unintentionally created…
In some cultures, the 12-year-old son is removed from his mother and undertakes 'initiation into manhood' rituals. The bond between mother and son is severed, to an extent, for the good of the young man. I hate that! I cry at the thought of it! But I get it.
It's to protect young men from mothers like me, who have fallen for their baby son in ways that they can barely articulate because it's different'. It's 'special'. It's 'hard to describe'.
I have several friends who only have sons and who long for a daughter. I completely understand that desire. They adore their sons, but sometimes I wonder whether they realise how privileged they are.
At our 20-week ultrasound, boy bits were identified and a part of me was crushed. I knew girls. I loved having girls. I had to say goodbye to the concept of my lovely Amelie Isabelle.
My husband, who already had one of both genders from his previous marriage, said 'This will be good for you – you need a boy.' At first I didn't know what he meant by that.
Until the moment Sebastian was born and snuggled right into my heart like his sisters had before him – a tiny version of the man he would become and I thought, 'Hello! What is this? This is special. This is different. This is hard to describe…'
What do you think? Is having a boy different? If you have a son can you relate to being the woman in his life?

You may have wondered, how much does botox cost? The cost of botox injections varies from geographical area to geographical area, and may also vary depending on the qualifications of the physician prescribing the injections and the number of injections prescribed. The average cost of botox injections, though, is around $450 - $500 per injection. Multiple injections are usually given at one time, so the cost can add up quickly.
Botox, or botulinum toxin, is a neurotoxic protein used in cosmetic procedures to treat moderate to severe frown lines and brow furrows. It has a number of other medical uses, as well.
Botox injections last for about six months. After that, the effect wears off, so more injections may be needed. This is an important factor to remember when considering botox injections. When you look at how much does botox cost, you'll need to factor in the cost over a long period of time.
The need for botox injections can often be prevented, which is desirable due to the cost of botox injections and the chance of side effects from the injections. Possible side effects include pain at the injection site, headache, nausea, flu-like symptoms, and temporary eyelid droop. Fortunately, there are other, less invasive treatments for wrinkles.
Before considering botox injections, we recommend you do the following:
Botox can interact with both prescription and over-the-counter medications, so before getting botox injections, make sure you tell your doctor about any medications you are taking in order to prevent serious side effects.
Also ask your doctor about how much does botox cost, because you will probably want to try other less costly skin treatments before trying botox.
The cost of botox injections is prohibitive for many people, and fortunately there are alternative treatments that are often effective and are much more affordable. However, if you do decide to have botox shots despite how much does botox cost, here is what to expect.
The area to be injected is cleaned with a non-alcohol cleanser such as Betadine. A topical anesthetic may be applied to the area. Then the injections are given. Typical injection patterns are four or five shots on each side of the forehead or two or three shots near each eye.
The patient is advised to avoid strenuous activity for the next few days in order to minimize bruising. Some bruising may still occur, however. There are a number of other possible side effects of botox, which we mentioned in the prevention section of this article. That, and the cost of botox injections, is why we recommend trying other, less invasive treatments first.
If you are considering botox injections, you'll need to consult a plastic surgeon. Ask how much does botox cost. You may want to discuss other, less invasive options as well.

We rarely get packages. In fact, in the past nine months I think we've gotten one. Sometimes we feel a bit cut off and need a boost so this year I actually prayed in advance that God would lay it on someone's heart to send us a Christmas package. God is so gracious to answer prayer- we ended up having several friends offer to send us things. It's not that we actually NEED anything so much as that boxes from America remind us that we are attached through ribbons of love to family and friends back home. And the fun items they send bring touches of the states to our China home for the holidays.
I thought you might enjoy some photos of the hoopla surrounding the packages that walked in our door today!
A friend in California organized a group of folks who have been or will be in our home to send these humongous boxes our way. Wooohooo!
Grace and Hope walked to the post office to retrieve them. They were pretty excited when they came in!
Since Grace carried the larger one home, she got to cut into it!
"Hmmm… what could this be?" Joy hams it up for the camera!
So much excitement- like Christmas morning!
Oh yeah! Chocolate chips, cow tails, tootsie rolls…. (Don't worry, we won't eat this all at once!) This came on such a good day. We had a grueling day yesterday making the border crossing so something fun this morning was just the ticket!
Doing the Snoopy happy dance! And, no, Stacy is NOT biting his finger here!
Ok, seriously, aren't my Cow Tail models just the cutest?
Score! Strawberry Twizzlers are a favorite of Joy's! (And Grace's apparently!)
Hope is so happy, she started crying! Gotta love Cow Tails!
This made a great hit, too. Think of the Dexters huddled around their space heater in the cold of winter sipping specialty cocoas… Is God not good?
I'm really not trying to solicit packages through this post, but rather to give you a glimpse into the "party" we had this morning and maybe bring a smile to your face! It's always fun to see God answer prayer and to celebrate the joys of life together.
Dodgson family, Natalie, Jeanne, Piper family, Baldivid family- THANK YOU! What extreme packages you put together! Our cup is full to overflowing.
Hebrews 6:10
For God is not unjust so as to forget your work and the love which you have shown toward His name, in having ministered and in still ministering to the saints.

Low Vision Aids & Clinic
|Font Size:
What is Low Vision?
The degree of low will vary between individuals and will depend upon the underlying cause or condition.The majority of us who have blurred vision simply correct this by wearing spectacles. However, when a person has reduced vision in both eyes which cannot be improved with conventional spectacles, they may be described as having low vision.
Although some individuals may be born with poor sight, the vas majority have low vision as a result of a condition or disease that they have acquired in later life.
Individuals may develop low vision as a result of an eye disease, such as glaucoma or a general medical condition, such as diabetes. Condition such as Age Related Macular Degeneration affect many elderly people.
A patient with low vision may be described as Visually Impaired, particularly if the level of sight loss affects them in their daily lives.

Hello, I have just received the 9300i and think that it is fantastic. However, I tried to update the firmware using the Nokia Software Updater but unfortunately the updater says that the phone is not supported. I also heard that in order to update the firmware the 9300i actually needs to be taken to a Nokia store for it to be done. Is this true? I will keep trying myself though as I have a feeling that I might be missing a part of the procedure.
Also, I find that receiving calls is a little on the soft side and have trouble hearing my contact.
Otherwise, a truly great phone despite being two years old now!
Anybody that can give me some advice with my firmware dilemma will be greatly appreciated!
Thank you...
As mentioned on nokia and your websites that nokia 9330i support MPEG4 files but it doesnt support the mpeg4 files and I have got in writing from nokia care that it will not support mpeg4 as claimed by the company. It is also mentioned in the user guide provided by the company along with the instrument.

By the time he returned home half-soused and slightly wobbly, his pockets empty, his heart filled with guilt, she had decided on a firm course of action.
Heretofore, she announced to him at the door, the paycheck goes into a trust fund to pay the bills. She told him that the president had decided to do the same thing with the federal treasury, and it seemed like a wonderful plan to get their financial affairs in order.
But we can't afford to pay all the bills anyway, he said. Just like the government.
Yes, we could, she said, if you'd stop wasting money on your silly binges and we followed a true budget. Under the trust fund, the money goes for bills, and bills only. If you want to have a big night out with the guys, you have to give up something else.
Such as?
Lunch. Dinner. Gasoline. Clothing for the kids. The mortgage payment.
I can't afford these now. I have to borrow to finance them every month. And if I didn't, I can tell you the economy would be nothing right now.
What do you mean? she said.
Just look around. Nobody's buying except those of us who can't afford it. Why, the stores downtown would be empty and a lot of people would be laid off. We're making this whole economy go. Hey, it's the American way.
That's a unique way of looking at it.
Why do you think the banks send you all those credit cards? They want you to go into debt as deeply as you can, so they can earn interest. They're in cahoots with the merchants and manufacturers. They're tickled when we're extravagant. They love it when we buy on impulse.
If I did the same thing you did, we'd be broke now. The president is right. We've got to tighten our belts, sacrifice and pay our bills, or we all are going bankrupt.
You and Clinton don't get it, do you? The reason I spend is to keep my job, and make sure my pals keep theirs, too. Hey, this is capitalism. What goes around, comes around. You got to buy the goods, even if you don't need them sometimes. And the more we buy, the more profitable our employers are. And they'll be less apt to hand out pink slips. You have to spend money to make money.
Sometimes you disgust me. You know we can't live beyond our means for very long. Clinton's putting all those higher taxes in a trust fund, so that he can put our financial house in order.
And bring the house down. These higher taxes won't do what they say. They'll take a few hundred bucks out of our pockets that we won't be able to use to buy a new TV or have a nice night out on the town. And when millions like us do the same thing, a lot of people are going to get laid off. They'll file for unemployment checks, food stamps and welfare payments. And the deficit will go up, not down.
Your scare tactics are absurd, she said. If we can get our deficit down, there'll be more and cheaper money out there. The companies you are so worried about will find it easier to get credit to build new facilities. Ultimately, there'll be more jobs.
No way. You let them raise taxes and this government monster will get so big that nobody will be able to afford it. The only way to stop it is to cut taxes and give them less to operate with. And if our taxes are lower, we might be able to afford the things we want. And if they cut our taxes, we might have a greater incentive to save and spend money.
As usual, she said, you distort the situation. If Clinton should cut taxes as you suggest, the deficit will explode again, just like it did with Reagan. And the rich will get the lion's share of the income, just as they did in the '80s. And we will be just passing off the debt to our children. We tried supply-side economics once, and it didn't work. Clinton was right to call it trickle-down economics.
Hey, the government has never created a job out here in the private sector, although they like to claim that they can. If we can just get the government off our backs, this free-enterprise system will generate millions of new jobs and higher income for everybody. Why are you liberals afraid to give it a try?
I beg to disagree. If it weren't for the defense budget, there wouldn't be a California. If it weren't for the space budget, there wouldn't be a Houston. If it weren't for the agriculture budget, half of Iowa would live somewhere else. Florida would be on its knees without Social Security and Medicare. Government builds the roads and highways, and invests in new technology.
That's the trouble, he said. Once you adopt a philosophy that the economy can't run without federal help, then everybody looks for federal help. Everyone's got a hand out. Maybe we ought to let these things sort themselves out privately, and halt the distorting effects of federal spending.
Well, I haven't noticed any conservatives brave enough to cut spending in these sensitive areas. They like it just as much as the liberals. That's why we need a trust fund, to force some discipline.
Maybe we ought to call it a suspicious fund, not a trust fund, because that's what it is, he said. To Clinton, discipline means spending on the programs he likes and taxing us to pay for them.
That reminds me, she said. Here's five bucks. That's your allowance for tomorrow from our trust fund. And may I have your credit cards?

Just when everyone thought spring was coming, the temperature has dropped once again! While you wish for warmer days and dream of sandy beaches, your skin will be doing the same. It's no news that cold weather means dry skin, but there is so much more going on under the surface than you know. We have collected some of our favorite top tips from experts on how to keep your skin in shape during the winter and how nügg products, especially nugg facial mask can help.
Tip 1: During the winter it's important to understand that your skin may be more sensitive than usual, so some anti-aging ingredients are best to stay away from. Our Anti-Aging mask is a gentle yet effective way to fight the signs of aging.
"You may want to reconsider your anti-aging routine during cold months. Strong ingredients like alpha-hydroxy acids and retinoids can cause peeling. Dr. Sarkar suggests applying them every other day if you're battling dry skin." Papri Sarkar, MD, a dermatologist in Brookline, Massachusetts.
Tip 2: We suggest to apply our Exfoliating face mask which is the best exfoliator that will gently slough away dead skin without the use of harsh abrasives, and follow with the Hydrating face mask to add a boost of moisture. Our Hydrating face mask is the best face mask for dry skin.
"One of the main concerns with the change in seasons is moisturizing, but while moisturizing is extremely important, proper exfoliation is key to reaping the benefits from your moisturizer. Exfoliation eliminates layers of dead cells, allowing for better penetration and absorption of your moisturizer." - says Laura Williams, spa therapist at Tonya Jones SalonSpa.
Tip 3: Protect your skin from environmental damage with our De-Stress mask which contains both antioxidants and skin nourishing & hydrating ingredients.
"In order to win the battle winter weather can wage against your skin, you have to put back into skin what it is missing: antioxidants, skin-repairing ingredients. Every day and night, season to season, your skin requires certain basics to defend against any environmental conditions." - says Paul Begoun from Paula's Choice.
Tip 4: Our Soothing mask is a winter skin saver when it comes to calming redness. Rich in chamomile, this mask is the perfect treatment when harsh winds cause irritation.
"Exposure to cold, biting winds makes the vessels under the skin expand and become visible. You may see them on your cheeks and chin, too. The hard truth is that they won't totally go away without a laser treatment (you'll need three to six sessions, each $300 and up). The treatment heats the capillaries to permanently close them. To ease inflammation without a trip to the derm, use products with soothing ingredients like chamomile." - Mona Gohara, MD, associate clinical professor of dermatology at the Yale School of Medicine
Tip 5 (for your lips): Our 100% Natural Lip Mask is perfect for colder weather! It contains no synthetic fragrances but is loaded with soothing shea butter, coconut oil & liquorice extract to help hydrate, soothe and nourish lips.
"Stay Pure: There are some ingredients that can make chapping worse. Anyone with eczema should make sure her balm doesn't contain lanolin. Since fragrance is the number one skin allergen, stay away from heavily scented or flavored balms; cinnamon can be particularly irritating. (Menthol actually soothes itching, though.)" - says Audrey Kunin, dermatologist based in Kansas City, Missouri.
Tip 6: Stay hydrated even when you don't think you're thirsty. It's easy to get dehydrated in the cold months and your health and skin will both suffer.
"We tend to drink less water in the winter because we turn to hot drinks like cocoa and tea, but don't forget that your skin needs hydration from the inside, out. A little warm water with lemon can be very refreshing and hydrating at the same time." - says Britta Aragon, safe cosmetics expert, author and entrepreneur.
Take these tips into consideration to ensure a glowing complexion all throughout winter, especially while the temps dip below freezing. And be sure to stay warm and cozy!

My Joaquin is so funny. Reading bedtime stories to him has to be a whole production. He prefers wild actions and that I sing the book instead of just read it. He even counts me in "...1...2...1, 2, 3, go!" Last night I was reading/singing/shouting a book about a rooster, it had a bunch of other animals in it.
I pointed to the frog and ask Joaquin, "Quiner [KEY-ner] what is that?"
He looked at me really worried, and said "Isa book, mom."
"No, look what is this?" Tapping on the picture of the frog.
Hand on my arm, "Mom, isa book," he ran over to his other books and picked one up and said "See, book!"
"Oh okay, sorry I forgot what it was called."
He said, "Sats okay Mom!" and counted me back in "...1...2..1,2,3 go!"

EDISON, NJ – Township resident Charles Nolley – one of World War II's Tuskegee Airmen – has been named Grand Marshal for the town's upcoming 55th annual Memorial Day parade, Mayor Thomas Lankey announced today.
Edison's popular annual parade will be held at 2 p.m., Sunday, May 28th.
While it is nearly two months away, the town's parade planning committee is seeking organizations, groups, and businesses to participate. Selecting a Grand Marshal was the first step.
"Not only is Mr. Nolley a witness to history, he is living-history. His story is one of perseverance, dedication, service and success," said Mayor Lankey. "We are privileged to have Charles and his wife Martha as neighbors, and we are honored to have him as our parade Grand Marshal."
Drafted in 1943, Nolley – now 99 – trained at Tuskegee Army Air Field in Alabama to be part of the elite Army Air Corps fighting force known as "Tuskegee Airmen," four squadrons of African American fighter pilots. He spent three years with the 99th Pursuit Squadron and flew combat missions over Europe.
A 1937 graduate of Arts High School in Newark, Nolley enjoyed acting, dancing, stand-up comedy and he was preparing for an entertainment career before being drafted. After his 1946, honorable discharge as a lieutenant, Nolley briefly returned to show business, performing in several Broadway productions.
Later, he received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Virginia State University, and a Master's degree in dramatic arts from Columbia University. He went on to teach at Barringer Prep in Newark, where he served as vice principal before his retirement.
Nolley and his wife have two adult children, three grandchildren, and are both active members in Edison's Oak Tree Senior Club.
In preparation for Edison's annual parade, the township is seeking organizations, groups and businesses wishing to participate. These may include:
- Veteran organizations and military reserve units.
- Civic and community groups.
- School and professional marching bands.
- School and youth sports organizations.
- Local businesses and mascots.
- Bagpipers and choirs.
- Police and fire departments.
- Auxiliary police organizations.
- Volunteer fire and first aid squads.
- Antique automobile clubs.
This year's parade will begin at Walsh Avenue, in the Clara Barton section, and travel along Amboy Avenue to Brower Avenue where refreshments will be served at the American Legion's Clara Barton Post 324. The parade will again feature the "Most Patriotic" Bicycle Decorating Contest with prizes for creative youngsters.
Interested participants may contact Dana Ligato-Grego at email@example.com or call (732) 248-7298.

Marissa Doyle's crepuscular critters
Today on Fiction and Fur we have Marissa Doyle, best-selling author of young adult and historical fiction. Join me in welcoming Marissa.
Be sure to leave a comment for a chance to win
Courtship and Curses.
I'm a cat person. I grew up with cats and adore them, and like visiting my mother not only because she's mom, but because I can hang out with her two Siamese cats. We call it 'kitty therapy.' My husband, alas, is allergic to cats, as is my son. Whenever we went to my Mom's for holidays, my husband would wear a heavy-duty particle-filtering mask or else he'd have an asthma attack in about thirty minutes. My niece and nephew used to call him "Uncle Darth" (as in Vader) as a result. Needless to say, Christmas is now at my house.
So I assumed we'd be a petless family because…um, dogs? No, not a dog person. And gerbils and hamsters never particularly appealed to me either.
And then one day my son volunteered us to take care of his class bunny over school vacation. I was worried–my husband would not be able to manage being Uncle Darth for an entire week. But to our surprise, neither he nor our son had any problems with having a bunny in the house. And little Butterscotch was so darned cute…
And that's how we became bunny people.
Our current buns are named Saffron and Beatrice, and they are total lovebirds. We lost Saffron's sister Asuka to an infection, and knew we had to find him a new playmate. He went on several "dates" with bunnies from our local rabbit rescue, and it was love at first sight with him and Bea-bunny. He used to be a total fraidy bun, but when the even-more-timid Beatrice moved in, he totally became the man of the family and is much braver and more laid back…and has helped her get over her difficult origins (she was rescued from a horrible hoarding case.) Both bunnies have been fixed, by the way: the House Rabbit Network (www.rabbitnetwork.org), a MA based rabbit rescue group, takes care of this for all the bunnies it fosters and finds home for.
Do your bunnies help or hinder your writing process?
They don't really affect my writing at all, as I write primarily in the late morning through the afternoon, which is prime siesta time for them. Rabbits are crepuscular, which means they're most active near dawn and dusk. So by the time I'm done writing for the day, they're starting to wake up from their day's hard sleeping and are ready for snack-time and supper part one. Saffron and Beatrice are pretty self-contained, but our very first bunny, Simon, used to come galloping up the stairs to my office and snooze under my writing desk while I was working. Saffron and Beatrice won't even consider climbing stairs.
Bunnies are awesome pets for writers because they don't bark (though they do like playing with noisy toys) and are litter-box trainable. Saffron and Beatrice don't even have a cage–they're totally free-range, like a housecat. That means a certain amount of house-proofing was necessary–Beatrice likes to chew on wires–but it wasn't anything too difficult.
Tell us a little about your latest release or your work in progress.
I've had two recent YA books come out: the paperback edition of Courtship and Curses, the third book in my Leland Sisters series, about a young witch making her debut in London society in 1815 and foiling a dastardly French plot, and Charles Bewitched, a novella set in the same world and with some of the same characters as my first book, Bewitching Season. For my work in progress I've changed both continents and centuries, and am writing a YA historical fantasy set on Cape Cod just as the US enters World War I. I'm also awaiting edits for my first adult book, a contemporary fantasy set in a fictional university in Boston where the Greek gods are alive and well and teaching Classics. It'll be coming from Entangled Publishing in fall of 2014.
If Saffron and Beatrice could talk, what secret would they tell us about you?
That Mom is a total pushover because she thinks we're soooooo adorable. We just wish it translated into more freeze-dried banana slices at snack-time, but she's really strict that way. She does talk good baby-talk to us, though, and has a thing for re-writing Gilbert and Sullivan lyrics to include references to bunnies. She doesn't sing them very well, though.

Nicola organised a meeting with senior representatives from Oxfordshire County Council. Parish Councillors, and campaign group Sunningwell Parishioners Against Damage to the Environment (SPADE) at County Hall at the end of October to discuss plans for new 'Park and Ride' sites being brought forward under the Council's Transport Plan (LTP4).
Having seen the proposed site near Lodge Hill, Nicola shares many of the concerns of Sunningwell, Cumnor and Radley residents who are deeply worried about the impact on local Green Belt land. Nicola has been clear that, while of course we should be doing all we can to encourage people to use public transport and alleviate traffic coming in to the city centre, the park & ride sites must be suitable for the local area and, in the case of the Lodge Hill Park & Ride proposal, she believes that an alternative site should be found.
At the meeting, Leader of the Council Ian Hudspeth and Cabinet member for the environment David Nimmo Smith, stressed that no final decision has yet been taken on the sites. They pledged to work with SPADE and Parish Councils in finding sites for the Sunningwell Park & Ride site and other sites across the County.

Writers have a lonely life. They write and then they network a bit and then they write
some more. And if they are lucky, they publish. But the life itself requires a lot of solitude
and aloneness.
There's nothing wrong with solitude because writing is an activity that doesn't lend itself
to company with others. Writers write alone and then congregate with others to talk about
their ideas and crafts and if they are really lucky they meet with some really decent and
wonderful people who they could really talk to.
I have been very lucky in the last six months to meet such writers and I have become
friends with them. Very often, my life as a writer has been quite bland and uninteresting.
But my writer friends make my life not only interesting but also they give it meaning. And
I thank them for that.
I have one writer friend in particular who is very close to me. She has become not merely
someone who I talk a couple times a week. She is also someone who believes in me and
praises me. And I need that so badly. I think that writers need support like that. They need
to know that there is one or more people out there who really believe in them and who
really honestly wishes the best for the person. What a gift that is for writers.
So, today as I reflect on the last six months, I feel grateful to have such wonderful friends
in my life. And I also feel immensely blessed to me one very special writing friend. I'm sure
when she reads this blog she will know who I am talking about.
We all need cheerleaders in our life. And I think that given the solitary life that writers
lead, it is especially important for writers to have cheerleaders.

Former council leader's bid for wind turbine is blown out
Credit: Western Telegraph | 7th November 2013 | www.westerntelegraph.co.uk ~~
Planning permission for a 33-metre wind turbine on land owned by former county council leader John Davies has been refused.
An application to build a 500kw turbine measuring 33 metres to blade tip at Cwmbetws, Eglwyswrw, was turned down at a meeting of the planning and rights of way committee last week.
Among concerns raised was the cumulative impact the turbine would have when combined with a taller turbine at nearby AJ Recycling, which was granted planning permission in March.
Cllr Keith Lewis said he had taken 'particular interest' in the application, as it fell within his ward of Crymych.
He reminded members of similar applications at Princes Gate in Narberth, where high hedges and banks had helped the application, adding "topography is important".
He also highlighted the fact that photo montages of how the turbines would look, sent by Mr Davies' agents to the county council, seemed to have gone missing, despite being sent by recorded delivery.
Cllr David Pugh agreed that the fact the officer's recommendation for refusal was based on incomplete information was "quite a serious issue that we need to get to the bottom of".
"I'm not happy with this at all," he added.
However Cllr Brian Hall said the application "obviously does not tick the boxes that our planning officers need", and that – if granted – would "open the floodgates" for similar developments.
Ten councillors voted in favour of refusing the application, with three abstentions and Cllr Lewis voting against.
