Prefiguring Postblackness in Charles Gordone's No Place to Be Somebody: A Black Black Comedy in Three Acts
Prefiguring Postblackness in Charles Gordone's No Place to Be Somebody: A Black Black Comedy in Three Acts
This chapter offers a reading of Charles Gordone's 1969 Pulitzer Prize–winning play, No Place to Be Somebody: A Black Black Comedy in Three Acts. Through No Place to Be Somebody, Gordone questions cultural memory's master narrative of the African American Freedom Struggle. The protagonist, Gabe Gabriel, is both playwright and "a solo black performer within the context of the play," and the chapter situates his four solo performances within No Place to Be Somebody's onstage action as counternarratives to heroic era accounts of both the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom and the residential desegregation of the era. Gabriel refuses black identity's monolithic representation offered in both direct action protest and black cultural nationalism. He and Gordone offer black subjectivity as neither rooted in nor limited to cultural memory's binary opposition between civil rights heroism and Black Nationalist villainy.
Keywords: black subjectivity, Charles Gordone, No Place to Be Somebody, cultural memory, African American Freedom Struggle, March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom, residential desegregation, black identity, cultural nationalism, direct action protest

I had the pleasure yesterday to work with eagle candidate Eric Duong, a team of Boy Scouts from Troop 799 and other young adults to build a water collection and containment unit. Eric developed his eagle project with Bob Argabright, "Bobby", who is a critical advocate for Oak Grove-Bellemeade (OGB) elementary school in Richmond, VA. OGB sits in the middle of a "in need" community on the south side of Richmond. Many of the children in this community start their lives with compounding adversities that further hamper their ability to engage in learning and build a skill set for their futures.
Bobby has develop several programs for the community using OGB as a base of operation. How he has been so successful comes from a life well-lived. Bobby worked many years at Chesapeake Corp building a strong skill set that he is graciously sharing with the community. Bobby was a "Turner", he would come into a less than optimal market and holistically develop it. Looking at the people, the process, the gaps, and he would "turn" it into a better performer. Talk about luck… That is exactly the wisdom that a place like OGB needs to help develop these young learners. I don't know Bobby well, but his energy is easy to read and he likes to share his programmatic plans. One of Bobby's strategies is to get the youth to take ownership of the various programs that he runs through OGB Elementary.
For example, older students at Collegiate hold a Saturday morning academy for Spanish speaking children to help them adapt to their new environment and better prepare for Richmond's school curriculum. He is also working with neighborhood youth to do the grounds keeping for the school's field and gardens. Another key tenant in the plan is to have eagle scout candidates execute eagle projects for the school's educational garden.
Bobby and I conversed throughout the day on his "growing" plans for the educational garden. The garden not only provides many children with their first experiences in cultivation and care, but there is a wealth of math and problem solving opportunity through the practical application of weight, time, volume, and astrological considerations.
Bobby mentioned he wants to have the kids consider how to calculate the amount of mulch required to cover a given part of the garden. He's even considering advanced calculations like using seed growth instructions to calculate how much manual watering is required to support rainfall recommendations. I think Bobby is on to something big here. When kids don't know they are learning, they absorb so much more knowledge. I feel it is so consistent with one of my fundamental Paradigms of Awesomeness: "Apply a learned skill or experience, and it becomes yours forever". I am really impressed with the programs that are coming out of this little corner of Richmond.
Yesterday a team of about 10-15 youth and adults gathered in the common area and went to work. There were many tasks to do, and many pizzas consumed in the making of this water tower. The educational garden is located in a wonderful common area between a playground, basketball court and the outdoor eating patio of the school. "Sancuary" is a good descriptor of this special place. Kids will not only learn from working in this garden, but in a neighborhood of shuttered buildings and un manicured spaces; they will hopefully see wonder in the organized rows of life growing from the ground.
Vandalism has been a problem in the past, but they have developed through the setbacks and provided an important example to all who engage with the campus.
It took several hours for these budding engineers to transfer Eric's design into reality. The litnay of tasks included foundation leveling, board cutting, hole drilling, and then final assembly. If you have not been part of scouting, you may not know that eagle projects are supposed to be "youth-led". Meaning parents have to work diligently at not picking up a shovel or level help build unless specifically asked to. We also have to manage the level of "free advice" that is shared without a request for help. We do draw a line at safety and every once in a while there's a "you might want to consider…" that is provided, but the scouts have to deal with real organization, leadership, delegation and problem-solving to accomplish the task.
I was impressed with Eric's design for a water collector and containment unit. An angled roof collects rain and gutters the water into a large water container. Users will connect a hose to a valve at the bottom of the tank. This will allow for this low maintenance tool to continually feed the garden with water when needed. I found the final product inspiring and practical.
I could see this set up in other community parks or smaller versions would work for other applications. As you stroll through your spring, maybe you will see the next place to "plant" a watering tower.
A chilly spring day, time well spent helping our kids learn through doing, on so many levels…

Garden News
The time is just slipping thru my fingers, and I am ashamed I have not commented on all the wonderful blogs I follow. To tell you the truth, lately I have had not time to sit back and read, and I miss that. But I have been enjoying myself, working out in the yard, and semi redecorating the house. And of course, as Libby talks about there is that ever so wonderful wine country around us to share with friends. But the bottom line is that as far as creativity I have been verrrry slow...but here is a taste ( or I guess I should say look) of my hard work paying off. For the last month, we have had just enough veggies to use for meals...but now it is coming in strong and it will be time to can soon. We put in corn for the first time this year and what a joy it is to watch it develop! When I was a kid one of our summer chores was to spend the day in the corn fields...picking corn...then coming home to husk or shuck it...the same with blackberries..with the black berries we would come home sick to our stomachs from eating so many...somehow as kids we never minded doing those chores...and of course it meant we would have them thru out the year.
and here is a little tea towel I managed to crank out on my machine...I really like these towel toppers and will probably make more for gifts...that idea is going in my book of things to do that is growing so large...I darn well better stay healthy until I am about 150 :-)
New creations
Here is a little amulet bag I made. It was a lot of fun. I went thru a beading/jewelery phase a few years ago but my beads have been on the top shelf for more than a year. I pulled all my beading supplies down, and what fun it was to string those tiny seed beads that my eyes can barely see anymore...seriously it was fun.
On another note.....I don't use my blog to express my politics...but I just need to emote a little here. Last evening I was out watering and my husband was cleaning the fountain. The fountain slipped crushing his hand in between the wall and the fountain. So I rushed him to the ER and there we sat for 6 hours! For 6 stitches! And believe me you see some very scary things in ER at 2am in the morning. Something has to change. That's all I'm saying and thanks for letting me get that out
Take care .....and hoping this week brings new fun adventures for you.

Furutech FI-E38 Rhodium Schuko mains plug is made from nylon/fiberglass body incorporating carbon particles that absorb vibration and resonance.
Warning: Last items in stock!
Availability date:
The Furutech FI-38 Rhodium is a high-end Schuko mains plug that incorporates solutions to problems such as contact resistance, EMI and RFI rejection, grounding, in a more cost effective nylon/fiberglass housing.
FI-E38 takes advantage of the patented technology "Floating Field Damper System" which makes it possible to eliminate almost totally the creation of micro-magnetic and electrostatic turbulence zones internally of the plug, vibrations generated by the passage of the current in proximity (fixing screws of metal, clamping elements of the cable, etc.). These "floating" field micro-fields conflict with the much more powerful primary magnetic flux generated by the current flow through the cable and the connectors, thereby inducing a form of electrical resistance detrimental to conductivity, generate a form of distortion. Furutech succeeds in controlling these phenomena by connecting all the metallic parts concerned together with a conductor charged with bringing all these undesirable energies to the earth.
The body of the plug is made from material composite nylon and fiberglass injected from carbon particles. it demonstrates extreme resistance to shocks, electric arcs and high temperatures.
• Rhodium-plated α (Alpha) pure-copper conductors
• Floating Field Damper System (US Patent No.: 6,669,491)
• Nylon/fiberglass body incorporating carbon particles that absorb vibration and resonance
• Specified for cable diameters from 6mm to 17.0mm.
• Dimensions: Body length 56.6mm × 39.6mm diameter x 88.7mm overall length.
• Metal cable clamp improves grip and reduces mechanically and electrically induced distortion.
• Rating: 16A/250V AC.

This is a huge week for comics, in terms of quantity -- Marvel alone ships more than 50 books this week, if you include comics, hardcovers, trades, variants and second printings.
And it also looks like a good week in terms of quality as well. Several new series launch this week, not the least of which is Geoff Johns and Gary Frank's Superman: Secret Origin, which redefines DC's franchise player. Marvel's long-delayed Spider Woman series launches as well, the "no iTunes required" version, while Jeff Parker and Steve Lieber's Underground #1 hits shops as well. DC continues their relaunch of the Archie Heroes titles with The Web #1, while BOOM! rolls out another Muppets mini-series, Muppets Peter Pan.
But as new series begin, others come to an end; Madman Atomic Comics wraps up its run, Mark Millar and Steve McNiven wrap up their "Old Man Logan" story with a giant sized special, and the last Wednesday Comics hits shops. Hopefully that means we'll have news about a collection soon.
To see what Chris, Kevin and I are looking forward to this week, just click below ...
Chris Mautner's pick of the week: Dungeon The Early Years Vol. 2
I'm always very wary of the fantasy genre, be it prose or comics, since it tends to devolve into a lot of dull exposition that no one except the author and his truly devout fans care about. Not so with Joann Sfar and Lewis Trondheim's excellent Dungeon series though. What started as a witty parody of classic fantasy tropes has become a richly embroidered story that hasn't managed to lose an ounce of its humor and strong characterizations yet. This new book goes back in time to follow the adventures of the Dungeon's founder and owner, when he was a starry-eyed lad. Art is by Christophe Blain which means it's going to look fabulous as well. (NBM)
JK's pick of the week: Bart Simpson's Treehouse of Horrors #15
I had a tough time choosing my pick of the week this time around, as there were at least three other books that were contenders. But it was hard to come up with a reason not to make this my pick of the week.
Edited by Kramers Ergot's Sammy Harkham, this features Halloween-themed Simpsons comics by Jeffrey Brown, Kevin Huizenga, Matthew Thurber, Jordan Crane, C.F., Will Sweeney, Tim Hensley, John Kerschbaum, Ted May, Ben Jones, Jon Vermilyea and Harkham himself. And like all good Treehouse of Horrors stories, they'll feature odes to and inspiration from horror classics, such as Lovecraft, Invasion of the Body Snatchers, C.H.U.D. and even Bad Ronald. I can't wait. (Bongo)
Kevin Melrose's pick of the week: Salt Water Taffy, Vol. 3: The Truth About Dr. True
In this third volume of Matthew Loux's all-ages adventure series, brothers Jack and Benny end up releasing the ghost of Union Army medic and elixir salesman Dr. Gershom True, who decides to haunt Chowder Bay because of the town's admiration for Civil War hero Captain Hollister. If the promise of ghosts and a kid-friendly yarn aren't enough to sell you on this book, check out Tim O'Shea and Shaun Manning's interviews with Loux, and read the 25-page preview at Comic Book Resources. (Oni Press)
The Umbrella Academy, Vol. 2: Dallas (deluxe limited-edition hardcover)
Kevin: Priced at $80, this collection of the second Umbrella Academy probably will only appeal to the most devoted fans of pop star-turned-comics writer Gerard Way. I love the work of artist Gabriel Ba, and I enjoyed Dallas -- it's far less manic than the first miniseries -- but I'm not sure I could convince myself to shell out that kind of cash for the oversized hardcover, even with the expanded sketchbook. I think I'll wait until the trade paperback comes out next month. (Dark Horse)
DC Comics Classics Library: Batman -- A Death in the Family
Chris: Forty bucks gets you the Joker beating the second Robin that no one cared about to death with a crowbar.
Kevin: I read the original four-issue arc when it was released in 1988-1989 -- lord, I'm old -- and, well, it wasn't very good. (The death of the incredibly unpopular Jason Todd, 1-900 call-in voting, blah, blah.) Those Mike Mignola covers were nice, though. This 272-page hardcover collects "A Death in the Family" from Batman #426-429, plus Batman #440-442 and The New Titans #60-61 (the "A Lonely Place of Dying" crossover). (DC Comics)
The Flash Chronicles, Vol. 1
Kevin: Ah, excellent. Early -- as in the first -- Barry Allen-Flash stories from the 1950s, featuring the work of Robert Kanigher, John Broome, Carmine Infantino, Joe Kubert, Frank Giacoia and Joe Giella. (DC Comics)
Justice League of America #37
Kevin: And so ends the Len Wein-Tom Derenick arc, making way for the stint of James Robinson and Mark Bagley -- which, perhaps depending on your opinion of the Cry for Justice miniseries is either the best thing to happen to the title in years or the worst thing since, oh, the Detroit Era League. (DC Comics)
Wednesday Comics #12 (OF 12)
Chris: And so the great experiment comes to a close. In the end, I'd have to say I was a bit disappointed in how inconsequential and uneventful many of the stories were (that Catwoman/Demon piece never really went anywhere, did it?) Still, there was enough good stuff and genuine surprises (if 12 weeks ago you had said the Flash segment would be my favorite piece, I would have laughed at you) for me to be glad DC took a chance on something this ambitious. (DC Comics)
Superman: Secret Origin #1
JK: Following in the footsteps of everyone from Siegel and Shuster to John Byrne and Mark Waid, Geoff Johns and Gary Franks redefine the origin of Superman in this mini-series. (DC Comics)
Madman Atomic Comics #17
JK: Sadly, this wraps up the current Madman series, but keep your chin up -- we've been promised there will be more Madman in the future. (Image)
Underground #1
JK: This was one of the other books I considered as my pick of the week, as Agents of Atlas writer Jeff Parker teams with Whiteout artist Steve Lieber for a five-issue mini-series about a park ranger trying to save a delicate crystal formation in a nearby cave. You can read the first issue for free over at the comic's official website, and hear more from the creative team on the book in this interview with Tim O'Shea. (Image)
Astonishing X-Men by Joss Whedon & John Cassaday Omnibus hardcover
Kevin: It's another somewhat-pricey hardcover, but it's awfully tempting. This one, as the title makes quite obvious, collects the entire award-winning run by Joss Whedon and John Cassaday (Astonishing X-Men #1-24 and Giant-Size Astonishing X-Men #1), plus 40 pages of extras, including character designs and script pages. It's $75, but still ... (Marvel)
Fantastic Four #571
JK: I thought Jonathan Hickman and Dale Eaglesham's first issue of their FF run started a little rough, but I loved the ending. This should be a fun Reed-centric arc. (Marvel)
Golden Age Marvel Comics Omnibus hardcover Vol. 1
Chris: 832 pages of pre-1960s material for a whopping $125. Still, for the curious collector, this is a great place to delve into the worlds folks like Bill Everett and Carl Burgos created. This is somebody's Christmas present for sure. (Marvel)
Immortal Weapons #3 (of 5)
Kevin: The main story in this issue, by Rick Spears and Timothy Green II, centers on Dog Brother #1. (Marvel)
Marvel Zombies Return #4
Kevin: Seth Grahame-Smith, co-author of the bestselling Pride and Prejudice and Zombies, joins artist Richard Elson for this issue that features The Hulk fighting zombie-Inhumans (I guess?) on the moon. (Marvel)
Pet Avengers Classics trade paperback
Kevin: I'll concede that Marvel may be pushing the limits of the themed collections with this one. However, it's tough to resist a bunch of stories by such creators Stan Lee, Jack Kirby, Steve Ditko, Gil Kane, Louise Simonson, June Brigman and Paul Smith featuring animal sidekicks. (Marvel)
Spider-Woman #1
Kevin: I don't know whether readers are half as enthralled with Jessica Drew/Spider-Woman as writer Brian Michael Bendis is, but I guess this new series will be the test. Alex Maleev provides the art. (Marvel)
Wolverine: Old Man Logan Giant-Size #1
JK: Mark Millar and Steve McNiven wrap up their What if?-style future take on the Marvel Universe in a giant-sized special, as Wolverine does what he does best to those ornery Hulk Gang bastards. (Marvel)
Detroit Metal City, Vol. 2
Chris: More tongue-in-cheek heavy metal madness, from the land of the rising sun. (Viz)
Labor Days Vol. 2
JK: Philip Gelatt and Rick Lacy bring Bags and the gang back for another round of adventure and shenanigans, as they go globetrotting to find the Face of History. (Oni Press)
Outlaw: The Legend of Robin Hood
Chris: This is a hardcover children's (or rather, young adult) graphic novel about the famed outlaw. It's a bit revisionist and the characters all talk in a modernist flair that takes a bit getting used to, but if you're a Robin Hood junkie, you should at least give it a flip-through. (Candlewick)
Sulk (Vol 3): The Kind of Strength That Comes From Madness
Chris: The latest volume in Jeffrey Brown's ongoing, multi-purpose anthology series. I really like these little chapbooks and think Brown's doing some of his best and liveliest work in these pages. (Top Shelf)
Black Jack, Vol. 7
Chris: More Black Jack is always a good thing, I have a thing for two-fisted, scarred surgeons with a five-year-old sidekick that's actually the amniotic twin encased in the shell of a plastic robot. That's good stuff, that is. (Vertical)
Now take a look at Diamond's complete shipping list and let us know what you're getting this week.

Infiniti to Reveal Electric Hybrid Sports Car in Geneva
Published: 11-Jan-2012
GENEVA -- Development of Infiniti's advanced sports car concept, due for global reveal at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show, continues apace. Lightweight with the offer of low emissions, the sports car concept will be the first Infiniti to have not only a range-extender drivetrain but also one mounted in a mid-ship package for optimal weight distribution and therefore handling.
Infiniti already enjoys a lead in high performance, low emission technologies with its Infiniti M Hybrid. But the purpose of the Geneva concept is to explore what might be the next stage in how to deliver a vivid, engaging and sophisticated driving experience from an electrically-propelled vehicle. The mid-ship mechanical layout could be a vital ingredient.
The as yet unnamed car will minimise the traditional compromise between thrilling performance and sustainable mobility. Its style, content and mid-ship package are all new to Infiniti, although the character of this striking, sports car concept remain absolutely true to the brand, as does the direction of its innovative electric vehicle engineering which is to combine extreme, low emission open-road performance with zero emission operation in urban situations.
Further news of this exciting project will be released at its world premiere at the 2012 Geneva Motor Show.

A soon-to-be-rare-as-hen's-teeth red edition of the OnePlus 5T is now on sale in the UK, after debuting in China earlier this year. And rather fetching it is too.
The 'Lava Red' version of OnePlus's current top-of-the-range smartphone is priced £499 to buy off-contract and SIM-free. Which is less than half the price of the 64GB edition of the iPhone X.
What's our take on the OnePlus 5T? Read the uSwitch review.
For that outlay, you get 128GB of storage, as well as a dual lens camera for depth-of-field bokeh shots that blur out the background while casting your subject in ultra sharp focus.
Like the OnePlus 5 before it, the 5T's camera pairs 16-megapixel and 20-megapixel lenses. But this time around they're equipped with a wide f/1.7 aperture and 2x optical zoom that makes for better performance in low light conditions.
To keep your details secure, the handset also features OnePlus' own Face Unlock facial recognition technology that's almost as good as Apple's Face ID. But still makes room for a 6-inch Full Optic AMOLED screen that takes up almost the entire front of the phone and a fingerprint scanner on the rear.
As with all OnePlus smartphones, the phone-maker's Dash Charge technology is on board. So you can expect to get a day's power out of half an hour of charging.
Other features include a headphone jack, a 16-megapixel selfie camera and a heavily customised version of Android Nougat that offers you more scope for customisation and packs in a few extra functions.
Not least among these is Reading Mode that turns your phone into a de facto e-reader, as well as some cool off-screen gestures that let you open apps just by swiping your hand.
OnePlus 5T officially unveiled
Latest smartphone from OnePlus comes with brighter screen and improved camera.
OnePlus 5T: everything you need to know
Pairs facial scanning security with best-in-class camera and all-screen front.
Top 10 phones to look forward to in 2018

Chelsea set to swoop for Roma's Pjanic
Following the recent appointment of Antonio Conte, it is understood that Roma star Miralem Pjanic has flown to London to discuss a potential contract with Chelsea.
The Bosnian international has made 28 appearances for Roma this season, scoring 9 goals and managing 10 assists. However, it is thought that Conte would use Pjanic as a holding player alongside Nemanja Matic to add pace and strength to his midfield.
Roma value the player at £31m which wouldn't be too much of a problem for Antonio Conte's Chelsea.
Manchester United are also said to be interested in the player and it could develop into a bidding war.

Budgam: Expressing serious concern over the ceasefire violations and the rising tensions between India and Pakistan, senior separatist leader and President Anjuman Shari Shian Aga Syed Hasan Almosvi Alsafvi said that the subcontinent will not witness peace till Kashmir issue is not resolved.
Addressing people on Friday congregational prayers, Aga Syed Hasan said that there is no guarantee of permanent peace between India and Pakistan till Kashmir issue is not resolved. He said for the past some years, ceasefire violations on the border has become a daily routine giving nightmares to border residents.
"Shelling and firing has resulted in killings, destruction of property and closure of educational institutions and displacement of thousands of people on both sides of border. It is tragic that the civilians on both sides of the border are losing their lives for no fault of theirs," Aga Hasan said.
He urged upon India to accept reality and resolve Kashmir issue in the interest of whole sub-continent.

LLANRWST residents are being reminded not to miss their chance to get involved in the consultation on the Llanrwst Vision document.
The six week consultation on the future of Llanrwst, runs until October 1, is asking residents for feedback on an agreed vision of objects for the town.
The Llanrwst Vision Consultation Document, available to complete at www.conwy.gov.uk, provides an overview of existing strengths and makes suggestions that could benefit Llanrwst and rural Conwy. But the list of suggestions is not complete and residents are being asked for their feedback.
Conwy County Council is hoping as many people as possible get involved.
Cllr Goronwy Edwards, Cabinet Member for Communities said: "This is an important document for Llanrwst. We recognise that opportunities in Llanrwst need to be coordinated. Having an agreed vision and objectives will help us direct resources and investments to maximise regeneration opportunities within Llanrwst and surrounding area."
Copies of the Vision document and consultation questionnaire is also available to view at Glasdir, Llanrwst Library and Dyffryn Conwy Leisure Centre.

I love learning any and all NLP and hypnotic tricks and techniques. But there is something magical about the moment something instantly clicks and you get to make changes for yourself and others straight away. It's as if you really do have a magic wand and can just vanish problems away – swish, swish… Evanesco!
I was poking around John Overdurf's website last week and experienced just such a magic moment.
I've been experimenting with ways to jolt myself out of unhelpful states. I get particularly stressed/panicked/wired/unbearable at big work events. My boss has dubbed my response state to such crises as the hotel printer almost running out of ink or the WiFi being patchy in a Yangon teahouse as 'The Swirling Vortex Of Doom'.
Now, conceptually and intellectually, I 'get' techniques such as anchor collapses. The ability to metaphorically swim through the vortex into a pool of Zen-like tranquillity by rubbing my thumb and forefinger together strikes me as the stuff of real magic.
But, try as I might, I can't identify a sufficiently convincing and powerful positive state to overcome the negative. We've already established my abhorrence of the word 'relax'. And I cannot fathom how – or, crucially, why – I would switch, say, to states experienced while lying on a massage table or on my sofa in front of Netflix in a high-stakes, high-stress scenario. I care about my work and believe what we do is important, so there is nothing more offensive than someone floating about as if they're on a meditation retreat when we need to get shit done.
No, all that's happened is I've developed better strategies for dealing with 'swirling vortex' state. James Tripp's "Is this trance serving me right now?" question is now my mantra in yanking myself out the very depths of the vortex. And I've also simply gotten better at, well, subterfuge: so now I rant to a select few people about a looming printing crisis for 30-minutes instead of to ALL of my co-workers, friends, family and anyone who'll listen for days on end.
But, in listening to John Overdurf's 'opposite game', I came across a genius idea…
If you don't have an opposite for, say, getting on a plane without experiencing abject terror, how can you model it? Some lucky people might be able to override their fear with a blissful memory of being on a beach, but my subconscious mind simply ain't buying that. I need to construct a new model for dealing with the same scenarios in a positive way. And identifying where you do and don't have opposite states strikes me as a supremely clever technique – a fun linguistic distraction that, meanwhile, helps you build a new model of the universe.
I ADORE the instruction not to feel the opposite – so, if you switch 'stressed' for 'relaxed' you don't have to feel, or urge the person you're working with to feel, 'relaxed'. It's simply an exercise. Genius.
After listening to the technique (do listen), I instantly started turning recurring limiting belief statements in my life on their heads. I also tried this out on someone close to me. They declared that they'd "hit rock bottom" on account of them having the sniffles and spending the afternoon on the sofa. I wouldn't try this on just anyone, but people who can separate their state from 'truth' and have a decent sense of humour can probably hack it. :-)
Here are some of my opposite statements. I know some people take these things terribly seriously, but I'm a big fan on laughing at oneself and making things ridiculous. So, if you try this, I think the important thing is to trust your instant, instinctual responses: the opposite of 'be' might strike you as 'wasp', so if you find yourself prevaricating over Steven Fry worthy antonyms or whipping out a thesaurus, then you're not letting your subconscious mind do the work!
I am depressed.
You ma deliriously happy.
I always look terrible in photos.
You sometimes see wonderful in paintings.
No one will ever love me.
Anyone won't never hate you.
This is the worst day of my life.
This is the best nanosecond of my death.
I've hit rock bottom.
I've missed roll top.
I'm really stressed out.
You're moderately calmed in.
I am a weirdo and I don't fit in.
You were the normal and you do unfit out.
I'm so unlucky.
You're la-tea-doe lucky.

This is a short story by a new author to me and leaves you hankering for more.
Title: Honeymoon
Author: Emily Glossner Johnson
Publisher: MUSA
Rating: 3 of 5 stars
From the Publisher
Can two men drawn together by past and present events find love when and where they least expect it?
Unable to forget a secret of his past, Lee Mullens arrives at the Haver Corners Inn on his wedding day, alone. Guilt-ridden and confused, he retreats to their planned honeymoon location only to meet the attractive Sanders Hamilton.
Sanders feels the pull to his melancholy guest, and sets out to befriend the young man. But what grows between them is so much more than friendship…despite the fact that Sanders runs the inn with his wife.
Can Lee and Sanders overcome the conflicts in their lives and find their way to each other.
My View
As a teenager Lee Mullens had night of passion with his best friend and neighbour Brian. The next morning Brian left for college telling Lee to forget what happened. He did.
Years later on his wedding day Lee relives the memories of that night and realises that although he loves the woman he is about to marry his is not in love with her. He does what he thinks is right and fair and cancels the wedding. To escape everyone he heads to the Inn that was booked for their honeymoon.
The Havers Corners Inn is run by Rochelle and Sanders Hamilton. Sanders can feel Lees sadness and the two men bond over the next couple of nights over glasses of Whiskey and personal conversations. Lee tells all about his cancelled wedding and Sanders talks about his cold marriage.
When Sanders knocks on Lees door thinks turn hot very quickly and the two men end up in bed together. It's insta attraction but both men feel guilty for different reasons.
The next morning Lee feels incredible guilt and realises he must pack and leave. As he gets to his car he sees Sanders who is also laden with guilt but has made a decision that may affect Lee in the very near future.
I would be very interested in knowing what happens in the future with these two men. It was all very quick and I am a sucker for a HEA 🙂
Where to Buy
I would like to thank the publisher for the RC of this title in exchange for my honest review

Kona and I have been out adventuring with map and compass, basically exploring the area where we live in greater detail than ever we've done before. Kona is becoming an excellent map reader LOL.
Here are a selection of photos from our days out. Terrain training, mainly off road and up and over hills.
I love Drumlanrig Woods, for some reason I always feel that I am in some sort of fairy tale while there. I was half expecting the big bad wolf and the woodsman to appear along this track.
I have this wee problem that means for some reason I can never just
stick to the path, I've got to go see what's round the next bend, or
I'll see a path meandering off the main path and I've just got to
check it out. Sometimes this works, sometimes it doesn't but it nearly
always results in me getting wet,muddy and attacked by the
undergrowth in some way. On this day it was brambles and
even now weeks later my legs can still testify to the awesome
destructiveness of the mighty bramble bush.
My next day off saw Kona and I heading for a little village called Tynron, I missed the turn off I originally meant to take onto the hill because believe it or not I was concentrating on running, yes running up a hilly trail and missed the little arrow on a post. This proved lucky as this route took me onto the hill past a lovely house with a beautiful garden which I would never have seen otherwise and I'm nothing if not nosy.
Kona managed to bag another trig point for her Album,
I rather think that may have been summer though, the weather changed next day and has not been as nice since.
Not quite so much "The Mountains are calling me and I must Go" more of time to get some hills in the legs again and these are the closest and most easily accessible. Plus I rather love them.
Had rather a good afternoon out exploring what should be a fairly straightforward route up through the Glen to the tops and over, but hey this is me and I never seem to end up taking the easy way.
My chosen route was very overgrown,
and after attempting a scramble up some wet rocks,
I opted for the safer option of going straight upwards instead.
|Black Hill's trig point shrouded in cloud. Kona "bagged" that one last year.
So I'm not really sure If I've done enough for Lakeland, time will tell. It's been a funny year, somethings have not gone according to plan, but on the whole I've done a lot of terrain, and I feel strong in myself, my legs have improved and my ability to go uphill is getting better. It still takes a while but I'm not quite so knackered at the end of it, and once up I'm raring to go.
Here's one or two pictures taken on one of my favourite days of the week "Dog Walk Sunday"

I got this idea from a thread in the VampireFreaks cult I belong to called Fifty. (Don't worry it's not as weird as it sounds. They just call their group forums cults. hehe)
So far this is what I've said I was thankful for:
November 17, 2014: I'm thankful for my Mom for being such a wonderful Mom.
November 18, 2014: I'm thankful for the many blessings God's given me.
November 19, 2014: Despite the fact my Dad and I butt heads a lot, I'm thankful he's instilled the importance of travel and broadening my horizons and persevering in all I do.
November 20, 2014: I'd like to thank my relatives in Albany, NY for the values they've instilled in me and although a few years pass between the times we see each other I love the time we get to spend together.
(I left out the part where I thanked people from the group also since that's irrelevant here on FB, I guess.)
From now until Thanksgiving I plan to add something or someone I'm thankful to have in my life.
November 21, 2014: I'm thankful for the many wonderful friendships I have on and offline.
November 22, 2014: I'm thankful for technology. The technology that existed in the past brought the Europeans over to the Americas. I have some indigenous and European blood in me so naturally I wouldn't exist had that not occurred. Also, my parents were born and raised in different parts of the U.S. so once again modern technology played a role in my existence. Last, but certainly not least, technology makes our lives much easier.
November 23, 2014: I'm thankful I have a roof over my head.
November 25, 2014:

– For electricity, are there any capacity charges per KVA?
2. Can the price I pay for energy change during the life of the contract?
– If so, how will you tell me about this or any other changes to the contract? Are charges fixed or variable?
– If they are fixed, how long for?
– If they are variable, which parts may vary?
3. What happens at the end of my contract or the fixed-term period if I stay with you as my supplier?

EWTalk Newsletter
A healthy planet and an equitable world that values and sustains diversity of all life.
The Endangered Wildlife Trust (EWT) is dedicated to conserving threatened species and ecosystems in southern Africa to the benefit of all people.
I personally resisted the world of social media for many years. Clearly a late adopter, I could not fathom the value of telling the world what I ate for breakfast or how my dental appointment went. However, as with most things in life, there comes a tipping point and when the majority of your family and friends are communicating via a specific portal or where sporting events, clubs, associations, educational institutions and so on, all rely on your participation via a social medium of sorts to deliver fast, easily shared and interactive communications, you finally succumb and get an account. What you then do with that account is however a whole different story….

Prosecuting Vietnam's Infamous Marine Turtle Kingpin
Education for Nature - Vietnam
In late 2014, law enforcement authorities discovered nearly ten tons of dead marine turtles following raids at six warehouses in the city of Nha Trang. The bust was the largest seizure of marine turtles in the world to date. The sight of more than 7,000 dead marine turtles brought the province of Khanh Hoa and Vietnam's most notorious marine turtle traffickers, Hoang Manh Cuong and his brother, Hoang Tuan Hai to the world's attention. The brothers were already known to police as significant figures in the illegal marine turtle trade, but this time the police had caught them red-handed… READ MORE
The Rhino's Eyes. Poem by Jesse Weinberg
The Rhino's Eyes
There once was a time when they roamed free, of invisible killers, of certainty.
When a fight was fair, the odds were known, and death was surely rare.
Their lives were theirs, to grow and share, to hold their own, to win their dare.
And now here we are, their enemy and their friend, their puzzle that won't end.
His defenses are defenseless, senses become senseless, motion, motionless.
There he finally lies, humiliated, exhausted, agonized.
Against a gentle wind, a silent sun, he finally closes his eyes...the rhino, dies.
Jesse Weinberg wrote this moving poem when he discovered that the last remaining black rhino on the game farm where he works had been shot and killed.
In Jesse's own words: "This was a magnificent bull which was part of an incredibly successful breeding project which started with 3, grew to 11 and now only 1 survives (her name is Phila, quite a famous rhino that was shot 9 times and survived, she now lives at Legends).
He was shot through rear left flank with a high calibre round however it evidently didn't kill him straight away as we found him with both horns, the bullet seemed to have ripped through his abdomen and nestled near his heart. In a strange twist, a body was spotted from the helicopter not far from the carcass, upon inspection it was in fact a poacher (with a handsaw) that had clearly been killed by the rhino! Although the rhino is gone, there is a small touch of justice that he managed to kill his killer before laying down to die."
Thank you Jesse for this moving tribute to a magnificent creature.
We would be delighted if you would join us for the following upcoming talks:

text: Page ContentOn July 1, 2014, certain provisions of Bill 128, An act to enact the Money-Services Business Act and to amend various legislative provisions (the "Bill"), will come into force, and will require that trusts operating a commercial enterprise register with the Quebec enterprise register in the same way as corporations or partnerships. The Bill was assented to December 10, 2010, but the provisions amending the Act respecting the legal publicity of enterprises ("Act") to create the registration requirement for trusts are only coming into force as of July 1, 2014. The main consequences of these amendments are:Under the new regime, a trust operating a commercial enterprise in Quebec falls under the definition of a registrant and is therefore required to register. However, trusts which are administered by a registered registrant are not required to register. The Enterprise Registrar defines a trust operating a commercial enterprise as one which carries on an organized economic activity with the objective of turning a profit. Such trusts include, but are not limited to, business trusts, investment trusts and real estate investment trusts.Affected trusts will have 60 days from July 1, 2014 to comply.The registration fees and annual fees for affected trusts are initially set out at $319.00 and $84.00, respectively.Affected trusts that were voluntarily registered before July 1, 2014 (which was possible prior to February 14, 2011) must update their information.Affected trusts whose voluntary registrations were cancelled ex officio must first produce an application for revocation of striking off. The registration requirements also entail annual filing requirements and updates upon the occurrence of certain events. The Act provides for fines for failure to comply with its requirements.

I like you the way you don't like me,
I dream of you, as much as you avoid me,
You duck and dodge my calls,
but I'll probably call again,
and from a different number.
I may even show up at your job,
and pretend like I'm your spouse.
"Honey, you left this at the house."
Don't act like you don't know me.
I follow all your social networks.
Remember? You @mentioned me.
Man I'm really "Diggin" you.
I'm "Pressin", "Pinin", so "Linkedn" to you.
Baby please accept my friend-request,
so that our love we can loudly profess.
I'll even tag you in my cloud.

13 Sewing-Room Secrets That Are Really Knitting Tips
If you walk into fabric stores only to look at the yarn aisle or the button rack, you're missing out. Many sewing tools, notions, and other supplies work for knitters as well as sewists. My sewing studio includes lots of cool gear that also support my knitting habit.
1. Wonder Clips for seaming. Any time I have to sew together pieces of knitted fabric, I use these babies to keep everything lined up. They're much more efficient than quilter's pins (no poky ends!) or locking stitch markers (which can't clamp the fabric layers firmly together). Buy them in bulk, in all sizes possible—they're that good. I've got the 1″ and jumbo sizes to handle any knitted fabric and seaming job imaginable; I've also seen mini clips online. Beyond seaming needs, the clips can be used to fit a seamed sweater while the garment is in progress: clip together front, back, sleeves, etc., and model in front of a mirror. Finally, when working either with a slippery yarn or multiple ends from stranded colorwork, try clipping the tails to your knitting to keep them secure.
2. Rotary cutter and self-healing cutting mat for cutting fringe. Line up the knitted edge on a gridline on the mat, then run the rotary cutter along another line for a beautifully even fringe.
3. Water-soluble marker for buttons, pockets, toy eyes (basically anything that needs to be evenly spaced or aligned on your knitting). These markers come in all kinds of colors, including white for marking dark fabrics. Mark your placement spots, and if you goof, moisten the spot lightly to erase the marks. I also use these markers when I'm going to embroider on my knitting, whether it's elaborate scrolling lines or just little French knots—draw first, embroider once!
Cardigan Closures and Steek Finishes
When my cardigans gap open between the buttons, they make me cranky. How can I humble-brag about my fitting expertise wearing a cardi that seems to fit poorly? One of my favorite tricks for cardi closures comes from Kate Davies: she skips buttonholes entirely and reinforces both front bands with grosgrain ribbon or bias tape. Snaps actually fasten up the cardi; buttons become purely decorative elements, sewn on to the public side of the topmost band. Kate also finishes many of her steeks with ribbon or bias tape, which strikes me as the coolest and safest way to do the job. If you're interested in these methods, check out these fabric-store goodies.
4. Closure possibilities: Clear snaps and grosgrain ribbon or bias tape, to follow Kate Davies's cardigan advice. If you like the idea of switching out buttons frequently, or want to protect them while washing, attach them to a front band with button pins; remove when desired. Or, close your cardigan with snap tape, a cotton twill tape with snaps already attached. Look for snap tape in packages or rolls, with twill tape in different colors and widths. Another option for cardigans: a separating zipper. Fabric stores stock them in many different colors and lengths, with plastic or metal teeth. See Josh Bennett's expert advice on zipper insertion by hand and my tech tip for machine-sewing zippers.
5. Adhesive hem tape for basting closures or reinforcements (zippers, snap tape, grosgrain ribbon, bias tape, etc.). It's always wise to baste any closure or reinforcement in place before hand- or machine-stitching it, to make sure everything lines up evenly without any stretching or puckering in the affected area. You can baste with adhesive hem tape, instead of using needle and thread. For an extra layer of support, fuse 1 long edge of the zipper/snap tape/ribbon to 1 front band—being careful not to stretch the knitted fabric out of shape—then fuse the remaining long edge to the other band. I especially like this idea for button bands and steeks. Once fused, that closure can't be moved, so work slowly and carefully.
6. Sewing machine for stitching closures. I don't like to hand-sew zippers or ribbon to cardigan fronts; instead, give me the security of machine-stitching. While it's easy to find a basic sewing machine for under $100, you might have to sacrifice some options. A machine equipped with adjustable presser-foot pressure makes sewing on knitwear much easier. When I machine-stitch zippers and ribbons, I ease up the presser foot's pressure so it doesn't smash down and thus stretch the knitted fabric. I also baste and check everything carefully before sitting down to the machine.
My favorite sewing tools for knitting help with blocking. This crucial step makes my sweaters stand out from the crowd. Because I try to knit everything seamlessly, I often have to block 2 layers of fabric at a time. These sewing gadgets help to maximize space, block small parts of a garment, and generate clouds of steam for perfect knitwear.
7. Garment steamer. Nothing helps blocking more than steam, and nothing beats a garment steamer for creating that steam. Unfortunately, small handheld steamers can't do the job unless you're blocking on a wall—they'll dump water all over the place. If you've got the space to store it, get a standing garment steamer with a hose between the water tank and the little doodad that delivers the steam so you can work horizontally. Come what may, I am making room for one of these units in my studio.
8. Sheer press cloth. If you want steam but need to save money or space, try a sheer press cloth (or get a big rectangle of silk organza). Soak the press cloth and lay it atop your project, then hover the iron over the press cloth. The sheer versions help you see what you're doing while protecting your knitting from the iron's heat.
9. Seam roll and/or sleeve board for blocking sleeves and cuffs. Sewists use seam rolls—basically a big stuffed cylinder—to press seams, but seam rolls can also fit inside knitted sleeves and baby garments. Sleeve boards are miniature collapsible ironing boards for (you guessed it) sleeves. For seamless garments, use one of these options to easily block one layer of fabric at a time, without steaming unwanted creases into the sleeve.
10. Tailor's ham for blocking yokes. Think of the tailor's ham as the seam roll's big sister: it's a fabric-covered ham-shaped stuffie used for pressing weird shapes in sewn clothing. These qualities make it ideal for blocking knitwear too! I recently knitted a seamless circular-yoke sweater with colorwork, and without special attention, the shoulder area wouldn't have stretched enough to fit well. Out came my tailor's hams—I popped one into each shoulder and happily steamed away.
11. Dress form for blocking tricky spots, and/or for fitting. A dress form takes up space but offers so much convenience. If you enjoy seamless construction as much as I do, try blocking shoulders, shawl collars, and back necks on a dress form or tailor's dummy—it doesn't have to be the kind that changes sizes to match your measurements. To refine fit for seamed or seamless projects, consider a customizable dress form that you can adjust to your measurements. Look for a padded surface, suitable for blocking pins (instead of a decorative metal one that resembles a cage).
12. Cardboard cutting board for blocking smallish shawls. Imagine a 36″ x 60″ piece of cardboard that folds into thirds, with a handy 1″ measuring grid marked on one side. I had little space for sewing in my younger days, so I initially bought one of these boards for cutting fabric. Then I started knitting and needed a blocking surface—voilà! Shawls often have to be pinned in straight lines, for which the grid comes in handy. Pro tip: use the cardboard board for shawls, not sopping-wet sweaters lying atop sopping-wet towels (I learned the hard way. Even the wettest shawls don't hold as much water as a garment, and soaked cardboard tends to fall apart.)
13. Tabletop ironing board, fold-down ironing board, or fold-down cutting table for convenient blocking. Blocking mats have to lie flat once they've got a project pinned on top, and sometimes you can't just place them on a floor. Consider some cool gadgets that instantly provide workspace when you need it, then can be folded up (or down) for easy storage. Hang an ironing board over a door and use it for blocking smaller projects—I bought one of these years ago and never went back to a full-size ironing board. You can also find tabletop ironing boards in the traditional shape, often with collapsible legs. For blocking garments and shawls, try a fold-down cutting table.

In our write-up dated June 22nd (http://tinyurl.com/sycee), we shared our view that a correction in general is healthy for capitalmarkets. The Shanghai market up to its recent peak in mid-June, rallied 112% without any consolidation. So, a healthy correction was long overdue. This round of liquiditydriven rally in the A-shares market has led stock prices to climb to unreasonable levels with valuations that detach from fundamentals. It is therefore normal that market forces will drive asset prices back to their intrinsic value level.

BOONSBORO - Walks often carry some big sticks.
That is the formula the home-standing Boonsboro Warriors used Monday in their 8-2 Monocacy Valley Athletic League victory over North Hagerstown.
The Warriors worked Hubs pitching for seven walks and mixed in eight hits. The formula produced a big first-inning lead and allowed Boonsboro to build on it the rest of the way.
[cont. from sports page]
Justin Malott led off the first for Boonsboro (3-2, 2-1 MVAL) with a walk and moved to third on Keith Herbert's one-out single. Phil Physioc followed with another walk to load the bases and bring up Scott Kaetzel.
