Interesting things I've recently found on the net:
The Kickstarter that was (then wasn't) - A storify re: an author's attempt to kickstart the next book in her series (after it was dropped by her publisher) and the ensuing backlash from her fans.
Cellphones do not give you brain cancer - Basically, if they did, then brain cancer rates would be way up since the 60s, and they're not. Although I guess there could be a confounding factor (i.e. there could be another factor which was lowering brain cancer rates and counteracting the effect of cellphones).
Rose Lemberg on self-rejection - Rose went on a Twitter rant regarding marginalized writers' tendency to self-reject and find reasons to not send out their work.
Why has LSD become so hard to get?
Man gets shock of his life when he pays $150 for two toy poodles and discovers that they're actually ferretts.
Two new stories out
I have a story in Clarkesworld this month: "Seeking boarder for rm w/ attached bathroom, must be willing to live with ghosts." I really like this story. It's the second of the stories from my MFA workshop to see publication. There's a whole backstory behind it that I'm too lazy to spin at the moment. Suffice it to say that I once lived with an old (and very nice) gay men who liked to connect unicorns. They were everywhere: unicorn figurines; unicorn tapestries; unicorn porcelain; unicorn place settings. He just loved unicorns.
My story "Sexual Cannibalism" is also out in issue #7 of the literary magazine Birkensnake. This is one of my favorite stories. I think it's possible that it's the best story I've ever written, and it's certainly the best that I've ever published. I loved reading this during my MFA reading at Hopkins. It's a great story for a reading--seven short little vignettes--and it was also pretty shocking for the undergrads. They had no idea what to make of it.
Sort of about my writing process but mostly about three online journals that I really enjoy
I love being tagged in memes, but I rarely go out and do them, because I hate to tag other people: it feels too much like you're imposing an obligation on them. However, Amy Sundberg has shown me the way--she just uses her "I tag you" space to talk about other blogs that she likes. And since I have recently encountered a number of great author-blogs, I am 100% down with that strategy.
Anyway, the meme is the My Writing Process meme. And the questions are:
What are you working on?
Well the answer, my friend, is that right now I am working on nothing. However, in the near future, I hope to get to work on revising at least 3-5 of my MFA stories, so I can throw them out into the world. And I also plan on writing a middle-grade novel whose plot and voice I've sort of worked out (by doing, no joke, 23 versions of the first chapter). The novel also has the most concise description which I've ever managed for a book: It's about the trials and tribulations of the only Voldemortish kid in an entire town full of Harry Potter-type chosen ones.
How does your work differ from other works in its genre?
I think my work is much higher-concept than most writing for kids. On the concept level, alot of children's books are variations on the same old thing ("in my evil dystopia, there's no music allowed" or "In my romance, the girl falls in love with her main rival when she competes on a Gordon Ramsay-style cooking show!"). Basically, all they're doing is shifting the set-dressing, but underneath they're using the same plots, character types, conflicts, and value systems as all the other stuff. In my case, I feel like the concepts are fresher, and they integrate with concept and character in a more natural way.
How does your writing process work?
It's always evolving. Lately, I've been more careful to listen to what my unconscious is trying to tell me and to interrogate my work as I go. If I feel like something isn't working quite right, I don't forge ahead, I back off and circle around and try to figure what I can do. This leads to alot of rewriting, particularly in the beginning (remember those 23 drafts), but I think that it results in a much more cohesive and well-thought-out result. Once I'm under way, though, I tend to produce my first drafts relatively quickly (often in under 30 days). As for revision, I don't have a very concrete system down, since I've only taken two books through to the final stages of revision, and, in both cases, much of the revision happened as a result of my agent's (always very astute) critiques. Other than him, I don't really use any first readers (though maybe I should).
Alright, so I am not tagging these people or asking them to respond in any way whatsover. Instead, I'm just going to point out three great author blogs that I've only very recently discovered:
Justine Larbalastier is a young adult writer who posts in an incredibly clear and concise way about the publishing industry and the path of the new writer (I guess she's not new, since she's been publishing for a decade, but still, she's at least in tune with newness). I don't think she posts that often, but when she does, it's usually something thought-provoking. For instance, right now she's beginning a series where she reads and writes about classic works of best-selling women's fiction (Valley of the Dolls, Peyton Place, Flowers in the Attic, etc). That's so brilliant: I was a bit annoyed that I hadn't thought of it myself.
Malinda Lo is another young adult writer who posts a lot about issues of diversity (particularly queerness and race) in the YA world. Without her blog, I'd pretty much know zero about any of the LGBT YA that's not written by David Levithan. Her most recent post is a very thoughtful analysis of her feelings, as a Chinese American, about white Americans writing Chinese protagonists. No easy answers there, but there's only worthwhile way to blog about cultural appropriation issues, and that's by looking deep into yourself and writing about what you find there (which is a surprisingly hard thing to do).
Kameron Hurley is a novelist whose blog I've only recently noticed, but it's consistently been one of the most powerful and eloquent blogs in the SF world. It's hard to describe her style: I guess her posts are sort of in rant-form, but there are always plenty of examples and sideways turns in the flow. They're gripping in the way that essays should be. Recently, she wrote a great one on her feelings (of both disappointment and triumph) re: this most recent Hugo ballot and why you need to get out there and flog your own work whenever it comes.

My friend Chris asked me recently about my week-long nature writing residency at the Trail Wood memorial preserve, and the first two words that came to mind were "life-changing." I reveled in the chance to be in nature alone for extended periods, to contemplate, to write and rewrite, to read the treasured words of Edwin Way Teale in his very home, his very office—a sacred place to me! For the first time ever, I used up the camera storage in my iPhone. This blog isn't big enough to contain the wealth of images, so I've scattered a select few throughout the post.
An absolute gift of the preserve was its undisturbed quality. But another gift I took away from my time there is the practice of really looking and listening even in places that haven't had the benefit of such thoughtful stewardship. I take small walks around the office park where I work, not by any stretch a nature preserve. Still, I smile at the abundance of Carolina locusts behind the buildings (who don't seem to be doing any noticeable damage), and the occasional spotting of a raptor, bright bird, dragonfly, or hornets. I look down into the wetlands below the tall hill. Once in a while, I see a deer. Just once, I rescued a young raccoon who was clattering around in the nearly empty dumpster, watching from a distance as he climbed the long birch limb escape ladder I'd lowered for him.
Just the other day, I snapped a picture of a delicately decorated moth (looked like the oversized Oriental vases my grandfather had around his house) who turned out to be an ailanthus webworm moth. I love it when nature comes right to my door!
The fall of the tree, the swoop of the hawk, the tilt of the buzzard in a windy sky, the song of the hermit thrush at evening, the opening of a windflower, the eddy of a woodland brook—all of these are events for days without time. They might have occurred during any one of a thousand or ten thousand years. Ticking clocks and factory whistles have little to do with the eternal recurrence of these eternal themes.
Something for me to remember after my New Hampshire vacation, chock full of walks in shallow streams and visits to waterfalls: when the "factory whistle" is again in play, nature doesn't live only in preserves or the areas we think of as great sightseeing locales. It is everywhere. With eyes and ears wide open, every day is a new chance to notice it, to give it the full attention that it deserves. With that attending we find ourselves more connected and more alive.
Thank you for this wonderful post! Chock full of treasures, inspiration, and gratitude!

#5898B: NEW YORK GIANTS VS BROOKLYN DODGERS: GAME 3 PLAYOFFS (1951)
1951-10-03, WMCA, 34 min.
Duke Snider, Ford Frick, Roy Campanella, Bob Prince, Russ Hodges, Alvin Dark, Willie Mays, Leo Durocher, Toots Shor, Monte Irvin, Ernie Harwell, Sal Maglie, Hank Sims, Jim Hearn, Herman Franks, Walter OMalley, Steve Ellis, Whitey Lockman, Eddie Stanky, Bobby Thomson, Bill Rigney, Larry Jansen, Sheldon Jones, Charlie Dressen, Horace Stoneham, Charley Finney, Eddie Bracket, Art Flynn, Chris Durocher, Paul Richards, Willard Marshall, Lawrence Goldberg, Sylvia Goldberg
Recorded coverage beginning in the last of the ninth inning, with the New York Giants Whitey Lockman at bat; the score 4 to 2 Brooklyn. Announcer Russ Hodges calls the play by play, as Bobby Thomson hits a homerun ("The Shot heard Round the World"), winning the best two out of three playoff series (the FIRST nationally televised baseball series ever broadcast, coast to coast).
Wrap up of the game is heard by Bob Prince (baseball announcer for the Pittsburgh Pirates 1948-1975), who attended the game and sat along side best friend Russ Hodges in the booth.
Post game clubhouse (New York Giants) interviews begin with Steve Ellis, Ernie Harwell and Russ Hodges behind the mike. Those interviewed, in a emotional celeritous Giant clubhouse, are Herman Franks, Alvin Dark, Larry Jansen, Eddie Stanky, Charlie Dressen, Ford Frick, Horace Stoneham, Bill Rigney, Hank Sims, Walter O'Malley, Bobby Thomson, Charley Finney, Jim Hearn, Eddie Bracket, Art Flynn, Leo Durocher, Chris Durocher (son), Willie Mays, Whitey Lockman, Sal Maglie, Monte Irvin Paul Richards, Duke Snider, Roy Campanella, Sheldon Jones and Willard Marshall.
In addition to NBC's TV crew, six radio networks set up shop in the press box attached to the underside of the upper deck.
•	Russ Hodges did the Giants' broadcast solo because NBC hired his partner, Ernie Harwell, to handle their telecast. Hodges's friend Bob Prince, the Pirates' announcer, sat next to him as a guest, and filled in for Hodges and Harwell in the celebratory New York Giant's locker room after the game ended with a wrap up summary prior to the beginning of the many interviews that would follow and captured on audio.
•	Red Barber and Connie Desmond would, as usual, call the game for the Dodgers (WMGM).
•	The Liberty Broadcasting Network, which recreated most of its baseball and football broadcasts from its studio in Dallas, sent "The Old Scotsman" Gordon McLendon to call the game live. His broadcast is the only one that survives as complete, on audio tape.
•	Al Helfer reported the action on the Mutual Broadcasting System, largest in the nation.
•	Harry Caray of the Cardinals broadcast the game for a group of Midwest stations.
•	Buck Canel and Felo Ramirez did the Spanish broadcast for Latin America.
Russ Hodges:  "The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the left-field The Giants win the pennant! And they're going crazy! They are going crazy! Oh-oh!"
"Everybody remembers it now," said Bobby Thomson. "But you have to understand the feeling between those teams. I didn't think of the pennant — only that we beat the Dodgers."
Hodges: "I don't believe it! I do not believe it! Bobby Thomson hit a line drive into the lower deck of the leftfield stands, and the whole place is going crazy! The Giants Horace Stoneham is now a winner. The Giants won it by a score of 5 to 4, and they're picking Bobby Thomson up and carrying him off the field!"
Before videotape (1956/1957), to reproduce a television broadcasts, as it aired live, a film camera had to film (usually on black & white 16mm Kodak reversal film stock) a TV screen to monitor and record a copy of a broadcast, a process called kinescoping. "Kinescopes were fuzzy and extremely bulky, a costly to accomplish, so the networks of the 1950s saved almost nothing. Few professionals and lay persons even had a radio reel-to-reel recorder (sold commercially only a few years before) which were hard to carry around, expensive to purchase as well as the cost incurred to purchase audio tape 1/4" reels, so the average person didn't have one.
However, In Brooklyn, a restaurant waiter Laurence Goldberg did own one. Goldberg was a New York Giant fan from the time he was 8 years old. Having to leave for work in Manhattan, he instructed his mother, Sylvia, who knew little about baseball, to hit the "record" button in the bottom of the ninth which she did, with one out and Whitey Lockman at bat, the score now 4 to 2 Brooklyn.
Lockman doubles. The Giants now have men on second and third base. Bobby Thomson comes to the plate, and the rest is history!
The next day, Larry Goldberg wrote a letter to Russ Hodges about his tape recording, which was not recorded my WMCA radio, or it turns out to be by anyone else (similar to the scenario of Phil Gries' solo home audio tape recording of Don Pardo announcing, over NBC TV, the first bulletins of the JFK assassination, eight years later). Russ Hodges sent Goldberg $10 to use his borrowed copy to record a 1951 Christmas gift for friends. During the fall of 1952 sponsor Chesterfield cigarettes released a record of "the most exciting moment in baseball history, including that famous Bobby Thomson homerun."
The National Recording Registry chose announcer Russ Hodges' call of the 1951 National League tiebreaker between the New York Giants and the Brooklyn Dodgers for inclusion in their archive of iconic American sounds.

Why so memorable:
Russ Hodges' "The Shot Heard 'Round the World?"
At the time, Dodgers-Giants forged sport's greatest rivalry, yearly playing 22 games against each other, radio, and TV broadcasting through The City. America was the world's post-war colossus, perhaps baseball never meaning more. What made the moment wonderwork was the Giants announcer's call.
On August 13, Brooklyn led the National League by 13 and 1/2 games. By September 20 the Giants trailed by 6 with 7 left. The Dodgers fell behind, 6-1, rallying to win, 9-8, in 14 innings. Next day the best-of-three NL playoff began: "a world," said Russ, "focused on our rivalry." Even the Voice of the American League Yankees was transfixed. "Think of it," said Voice Mel Allen. "Three New York teams out of the big leagues' 16 remain. One's already in the Series [his], the other two tied." For years a red-blooded American could recite the script by rote. It is easy to see why.
The NL playoff became the then most widely aired event in radio and TV history. Seven networks, five of them radio, did at least one game: the Mutual and Liberty Broadcasting system with announcer Gordon McClendon, Dodgers' radio WMGM and Brooklyn Dodgers' Re-created Network(s); Giants' WMCA Radio; and CBS TV—the latter airing the first coast-to-coast network sports telecast for game one of the playoffs (October 1st), with Red Barber doing the play by play. With the playoff series moving the following day to the Giants' home park, the Polo Grounds, NBC TV moved in to pick up the rights, negotiating directly with WPIX, New York, which had carried the Giant's home schedule all year. CBS TV held on to westbound relay until 3 pm and NBC broadcast the game from 3:00pm to conclusion. It was necessary for the two networks to swap time each day to permit their carrying the full game which started at 1:30pm.
On October 3, 1951 Ernie Harwell did play by play on NBC TV which to this day has never been archived in any manner.
Only four years earlier Americans had owned 17,000 TV sets v. 58 million radios. By 1951 video had become an irresistible object. Radio was the immovable object, some feeling TV cursory. Such a schism towered as Russ and Ernie "tossed a coin [about a possible Game Three]," Harwell laughed. When Ernie got TV, he joked, "I felt sympathy for 'Ole' Russ. All these radio networks and I was gonna' be on TV, and I thought that I had the plum assignment." New York won the opener, 3-1. Next day changed place (Polo Grounds) and outcome (Dodgers win 10-0). His plum then spoiled.
The night before the final, Hodges stayed awake gargling. Worse, to test his voice, he kept talking into a microphone at home, hurting his throat. Next day, at 3:48 P.M., Ralph Branca threw a two-on one-out ninth-inning 0 & 1 pitch with Brooklyn up, 4-2.
"There's a long drive!" WMCA's Russ began. "It's going to be, I believe! … The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! The Giants win the pennant! Bobby Thomson hits into the lower deck of the leftfield stands! The Giants win the pennant! And they're going crazy! They are going crazy! Oh-oh! The Giants . . . have won it by a score of 5 to 4, and they're picking Bobby Thomson up and carrying him off the field. I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I do not believe it. Bobby Thomson hit a line drive into the lower deck of the leftfield stands, and the whole place is going crazy!"
NOTE: This broadcast moment is one of the greatest broadcasts ever aired on radio or television. And That's the Way it Was, October 3rd, 1951.
This remastered 34-minute retrospective was remastered by Phil Gries. It is the most complete audio extant and available representing this radio broadcast.

#9416: TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JACK PAAR, THE
1959-01-16, WRCA, 79 min.
Jack Paar, Jonathan Winters, Jose Melis, Don Pardo, Jack Haskell, Betty White, Elaine Stritch, Maury Scher
July 29, 1957- March 30,1962.
Announcer Don Pardo substitutes for Hugh Downs.
Jack Paar's Monologue includes:
Zsa Zsa Gabor's engagement again...Jonathan  Winters on the show, funniest man I know...Bob Hope, not feeling well...
Jose Melis plays, "Serenade to a Wealthy Widow."
Author Maury Scher discusses his book "Goldrick."
Goldrick's ten rules...a potential officer in fatigues.
Jack introduces Betty White whose birthday is tonight.
Paar remembers when he first drove in LA and in great panic...just staying in a lane was challenging, but not as challenging as driving in New York on the West Side Highway.
Jack Haskell sings, "Love Look Away." Jack introduces Jonathan Winters, "One of the most creative extemporaneous wits I know."
Conversation between Jack, Jonathan and Betty who receives a birthday musical tribute from the band. Jonathan does a Maude Fricket airline hostess routine with Betty White who later remembers the first time she met Jonathan.
Jack confesses that he doesn't usually meet his guests before the show goes on.
Introduction of Elaine Stritch. Jack and Elaine talk. Betty White and Jonathan Winters join in and then suddenly, Jack Paar walks off the show, only to return two minutes later.
Jack Haskell does another song, "Mr. Success."
Jack Paar signs off. Don Pardo announces who is on the next show.
*Most of this series does not survive in any broadcast form. Kinescopes were discarded, burned, decomposed...whereabouts unknown. 2" Quadruplex Video Tape was expensive ($300 for a one hour reel), weighting 26 pounds, requiring great storage space. Video Tape could easily be erased and was used for new program recordings...retained briefly for a re-run and then erased or discarded. Legend has it that even Jack Paar himself hired a junk man to come to his home garage and paid to have JACK PAAR TONIGHT SHOW recordings discarded (reels of kinescopes and video tapes) that were now cluttering up his space.
During this era in television history archiving television programming was not a primary concern or vision, and considered an arcane pursuit.
ARCHIVAL TELEVISION AUDIO, INC. retains over 70 complete and excerpt JACK PAAR TONIGHT SHOW air checks (34 hours), including the complete Jack Paar's first anniversary telecast which was broadcast live from Havana Cuba (June 28, 1958). These originally recorded off the air pristine sound direct line 1/4" reel to reel audio tracks, recorded at the time of the original broadcasts, represent the only broadcast record of a "lost" visual telecast. ATA is the largest single repository (one collection), in the United Sates of Jack Paar Tonight Shows recordings. The combined archives of The Library of Congress, Paley Center for Media, and UCLA Film & Television retain a composite total of 13 hours of representative JACK PAAR TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts excerpts...none complete.
For four years and eight months Jack Paar reigned supreme as host of the TONIGHT SHOW with a crew of regulars, but only two stayed with him for the entire run; announcer Hugh Downs and band leader Jose Melis, a former army buddy.

#859B: ZACHERLEY AT 12:00 AKA ZACHERLEY AT LARGE
1959-11-06, WOR, 30 min.
October 9 - December 25, 1959
A complete episode with Zacherley entitled: "The Cardiff Giant."
The show opens with Zacherley's signature ghoulish cry, yelling "Let Me Out Of Here." He discusses newspaper reviews, regarding last weeks live performance of the opera "All Quiet On The Balkan Front" by Ben Gross and Brooks Atkinson. Zacherley reminds his transfixed audience that he will be performing the project of the year-a "brain" transplant on the Cardiff Giant. Assembled are 14 brains (13 from men and 1 from a woman). Aided by quips and props, his on camera screen time is chillingly entertaining. There are songs, descriptive lectures and phone calls. This extremely rare soundtrack allows us to revisit "Zacherley at 12:00" and again enjoy what made him so unique on this local New York WOR Ch. 9 television late night series which lasted for only eleven episodes.
#859A: ZACHERLEY AT 12:00
October 9, 1959 - December 25, 1959 &
April 8, 1960 - July 1, 1960
John Zacherley, who became famous introducing horror films,and satirizing them on SHOCK THEATER / ZACHERLEY AT LARGE, on WABC TV, found a new home at WOR TV in October of 1959 and hosted "Zacherley at 12:00," a series initially lasting a little more  than two months, totaling 12 broadcasts from October 9 - December 25, 1959, and then returning for another 13 broadcasts in the Spring of 1960.
These WOR TV channel 9 ninety minute programs were presented on Friday Nights at Midnight, re-run (video tape) Saturday at noon, and re-run again, Saturday Night at Midnight, thru November 28, 1959.
At his new WOR Ch. 9 berth, Zacherley remained a suave ghoulish monster from Cloud Transylvania, adding offbeat crazy humor to old "B" films which were edited to 60 minutes running time. The remaining 30 minutes of broadcast time was pure Zacherley.
On this classic show Zacherley and the symphonic orchestra and Gypsy Band perform the opera "All Quiet On The Balkan Front." It celebrates the Victory of Transylvania over Bohemia in 1332. In tongue and cheek fashion, Zacherley sings and explains the story as it progresses in six minute segments, between commercials and the showing of the 1944 feature film, "Cry of the Warewolf," presented that evening. Songs include: "Transylvania We Do Or Die," "A Passivist I Will Always Be," "Oh Where Oh Where Has My Hairy Friend Gone?," "I Am A Vampire Now," and "You Are The One Dear For Me Dear."
No video tapes and only a handful of excerpt kinescope clips from this WOR TV series of 25 programs survive (total of 12 & 1/2 hours of Zacherley 30 minute sketches broadcast), making this audio presentation a very rare retrospective, as well as  other air checks, from this series, preserved in the Archival Television Audio collection.
#859F: ZACHERLEY AT 12:00
Richard M. Nixon, John F. Kennedy, John Zacherley
"Zacherley Runs For President."
Transylvania has just become the 51st state in the union, and thus motivates, Zacherley to run for the presidency.     Zacherley talks to John F. Kennedy on the phone and Richard Nixon on the phone. There are many "remotes" from the convention. Songs heard include, "Happy Days Are Here Again,"
"Hail, Hail,The Gang's All Here." Zach promotes Zacherley buttons and other campaign articles that viewers can purchase by sending $2.00 to New Jersey box office address.
30 Minutes COMPLETE. Direct line excellent sound quality.

Zacherley is seen live Friday at midnight. The taped show is then repeated at noon, on Saturday and on Saturday evening at midnight.

Zacherley has just returned with a 6,000-year-old mummy. He conducts a TV auction and calls are taken by Zacherley from Yonkers High School, the Chairman of the National Committee, The Postmaster General, Mayor of N.Y.C. Robert Wagner, and the Board of Health. In hilarious fashion Zacherley displays articles brought back from his epic Egyptian pilgrimage. He sings "I'll Never See Cairo Again," introduces his wife through sound effects and details his plan to activate the mummy and let him loose in Times Square. A last song is sung by Zacherley, "Floating Down The Nile" ending with Zacherley's memorable howl "Let Me Out Of Here."

#14358: BARRY GRAY INTERVIEWS, THE: WMCA RADIO
1963-11-24, WMCA, min.
Barry Gray, Leo Cherne
Barry Gray was an American radio personality, often referred to as "the father of talk radio." His late-night New York City radio talk show was carried by WOR radio and then later by WMCA.
Barry Gray returned to WMCA in 1950, and stayed there for 39 years, refining the talk show format still utilized today. During the 1960s, he was in the odd position of having an 11 p.m.-1 a.m. late-night talk show on a station otherwise dominated by Top 40 music and the youth-targeted "Good Guys" disc jockey campaign. But for teenagers who kept their radios on into the night, Gray's show was a window into the high-brow New York culture of the 1940s and 1950s.
Barry Gray's guest is Leo Cherne. They discuss the events that took place this past weekend involving the assassination of President John F. Kennedy and the shooting of alledged Kennedy assassin Lee Harvey Oswald by Jack Ruby.
Barry Gray states that 100 years from today this past weekend will be written about!"

And I yearned to just slither back into my bed.
Gasped one last fresh breath, and then wiped me some booty.
The thanks I received? Why, a kick in the face!
So now blood and poop had splattered the place.
Thinking that they'd eat nicely, 'cause my cookin' is b*****n'!
Lump-free cream of wheat, and thoroughly-peeled pear.
When I said it was ready, each boy ran to his seat.
And what, with my mothering ears, did I hear?
Why, the stir of rebellion; it filled me with fear.
"How do we ask?" I said with a frown.
And they proceeded to flip the table upside-down.
But I righted the table and gave them their food.
And where did it end up? Why, of course, on the floor.
More pancake! More fruit! More milk and more candy!
They were asking for things I didn't even have handy.
"No more!" I responded. My temper was rising.
So back to the toy room they ran in a flash.
And one tiny toddler splayed underneath, trapped.
And saw, on his head, a giant goose egg.
Then, "Books! Books!" Oh the shrieking! Like monkeys in cages!
So I grabbed Pete the Cat, and they ripped out three pages.
"Color!" they shouted, poor Pete now in scraps.
So I grabbed the Crayolas and tried not to collapse.
And an abstract wax mural spanned 'cross the wall.
And in two seconds time, a Hot Wheels hit my head.
But on our way out, they passed by the chalk.
All was fine…'til the chalk became something to gnaw.
And they left muddy footprints on the just-vacuumed floor.
I looked at the clock, and it said ten . . . A.M.
When the TV called to me; so I put the thing on.
And I had a rare moment of peace in the house.
In this odd bout of quiet, I attempted to nap.
But with lips like a fishy, one hopped in my lap.
He wanted a kiss? Surely that couldn't go south.
So I puckered my lips, and he sneezed in my mouth.
Because life's never boring when you live with a tot (or two!).
Dedicated to my own beloved goobers.


Westover veterinary centre in Hainford posted the news on its Facebook page at the weekend.
It said: "Unfortunately we have just received an email saying that the current flu outbreak has spread to Norfolk.
"We advise that you take the following precautions.
"If you have been to the premises concerned, which cannot be named at this stage, you should shut down your yard for at least a week, as any signs normally come out within one to five days.
"If it is safe to do so, take your horse's temperature regularly, once to twice daily, and if it rises above 38.5C call your vet immediately.
"If your horse has been exposed to an infected horse you should call your vet out to test it to see whether it has flu so that you do not inadvertently continue the spread.
"Ideally any horse that has flu should be isolated. The current strain circulating is highly contagious and can spread up to 100m as an aerosol. Obviously it is difficult to keep an isolation distance this far but a minimum of 25m is recommended.
"Sensible biosecurity measures should be taken if you have a horse with flu, that is, wearing disposable gloves and disinfectable protective clothing, "Disinfect yourself and your clothing when leaving the stable. Avoid coming into contact with any other infected horses.
"Ensure that your horse's vaccinations are up to date and, with the recent high levels of infection around, ideally that the horse has been vaccinated within the last six months.
It comes after horse racing resumed on Wednesday, February 13.
Racing regulators had enforced a six-day suspension after three cases of equine flu were found at a Cheshire stables, and there were fears the shutdown could continue after further cases were discovered in Newmarket.
Fakenham's Lycetts Raceday went ahead on Friday.
The course's next race day is due to take place on March 4.
No races are scheduled at Norfolk's other racecourse, in Great Yarmouth, until April.

Price will be right to see new and hopefully improved Pelicans
Imported News Archive
by Site Administrator
As he looks around New Orleans Arena, Hornets/Pelicans owner Tom Benson sees something he does not like – plenty of empty seats.
So, the Hornets/Pelicans are doing something extraordinary: lowering ticket prices.
This as the Hornets promote themselves as one of the youngest (true) and promising (?) teams in the NBA.
The Hornets do have some pieces. Anthony Davis is a future star, Ryan Anderson is a great 3-point sniper, and point guard Greivis Vasquez is a candidate for most improved player in the league.
But, the Hornets have a ton of question marks.
Heading into the off-season, the elephant in the room is shooting guard Eric Gordon. It is more than time to cut bait with Gordon, who is owed $44.7 million over the next three seasons.
Gordon is a very good player, but he is not a franchise player. And at $15 million per season, he is overpaid and underplayed.
As of last Sunday, Gordon had yet to play in the second game of back-to-backs. He had played in 21 of the first 57 regular-season games.
It would seem to be sheer folly to think that Gordon can somehow be a dependable star, one who can help New Orleans make a deep playoff run.
The Hornets have a roster of try-hard guys. But is there still an upside in Robin Lopez, Jason Smith and Al-Farouq Aminu?
Is first-round draft pick Austin Rivers limited offensively or he is just experiencing NBA rookie growing pains, ones that are enhanced by the fact that he played only one season of college basketball at Duke?
Meantime, a Hornets source says that head coach Monty Williams is clearly in Gordon's corner and that Williams likes his nucleus of talent.
Williams and general manager Dell Demps had better be right. The Hornets will again be in the lottery, but this year's crop doesn't appear to be nearly as talented as the class of 2012. That class produced Anthony Davis, Bradley Beal, Dion Waiters and Damian Lillard.
So, as the Hornets change to the Pelicans, Williams and Demps will tell Benson the following: "Tom, we have a talented young team. And, going into the summer, we have plenty of salary cap space to attract free agents, and another lottery pick.
"If we can make the right deal for Gordon, we will. If not, he will be healthier and more dependable next season. We are headed in the right direction, just be patient."
In the meantime, Benson sees something he does not see on Sundays in the fall at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome: Plenty of empty seats.
Ed Daniels is sports director of ABC26 WGNO. He can be reached at edaniels@clarionherald.org.

Science or Agenda? Neutrinos in Question
Jim Hoover in Science & Technology on 25 November, 2014.
Fusion in the Sun- a constant source of neutrinos.
At any second of our lives, we can expect some 420 billion solar neutrino particles to pass through every square inch of Earth's surface, including our bodies, our pets, our homes, our cars – all of our proud possessions. Don't be alarmed. This has been happening since the birth of our Sun, for over four and a half billion years, even before we made our appearance on Earth, there were solar neutrinos.
Neutrinos were not seen, just theorized, first by Wolfgang Pauli in 1930 in the process of beta decay, understood later to be related to the process of fusion, the source of a star's energy. Now physicists have used the underground Borexino Detector in Italy to find the first solar neutrinos formed in the fusion process responsible for most of our Sun's energy.
Deep in the core of the Sun, roiling heat and pressure cause pairs of protons to fuse forming heavier atoms, releasing particles called neutrinos in the process. Neutrinos almost never interact with regular particles and fly straight through the empty space between atoms in our bodies and all other normal matter. Occasionally, given the right environment, a neutrino will collide with an atom and knock an electron loose.
The Borexino instrument, in a laboratory 1.4 kilometres deep beneath the Italian Apennine Mountains, is a metal sphere shielded by a large tank, containing 1,000 tonnes of water to prevent neutrons and gamma rays from entering. The 2,000 photomultiplier tubes lining the walls of the sphere are intended to pick up the measurements of proton-proton (p-p) neutrinos, which form in 99% of the Sun's fusion process.
What makes fusion in the Sun, a process that showers us with phantom particles, like ghosts that pass through our bodies? Heat and light from the Sun are a result of the fusion process (more on fusion) happening in 0.2 solar radii of a million mile diameter sphere we call the Sun. Inside this zone, pressure is millions of times greater than the surface of the Earth with a temperature of more than 15 million Kelvin. On the Fahrenheit scale, that's 26,999,540.3 degrees!
The temperature and pressure is enough to keep some 8.4 x 1056 (almost an octodecillion) hydrogen atoms bumping against one another and fusing for around another 4–5 billion years before they are spent. So your life insurance for your line of descendents will be spent for quite a while! That's because our star is not Betelgeuse, which could explode at any time, though we wouldn't know it for 640 years – which means it could have happened 639 years, 364 days ago and we won't know until tomorrow.
But more about neutrinos…Why do we care? We know about things that physically affect us. The rest is in the realm of theory or superstition, depending on your society's level of sophistication and your thirst for knowledge. If your level of curiosity is curbed by a personal agenda or torpor, then you and your similar-minded network of progress will be stymied, and if other networks are not similarly stymied – namely, the rest of the world—then you and your network are left hopelessly behind, mired in age-old beliefs.
Science can often reveal truths that dispel myths, superstitions, and fears that humankind has dealt with for hundreds of thousands of years, even more recent mysteries that put science in the realm of science fiction. But no one could see, hear or feel neutrinos, so no mythology needed to be built around them, only sensing the visible light of the Sun whose fusion process produced neutrinos.
We rebuke ideas like ghosts, for example, because we cannot see them. We can draw parallels with neutrinos, that don't interact with particle orthodoxy. Now we can see their direct evidence because of science and hard-headed scientists with curiosity. I don't know about ghosts and photomultiplier tubes – it's just an example. When there is near-unanimity among scientists in believing anthropogenic climate change, then the outliers must have an agenda, that intellectual torpor, or know something we don't know. Would you bet on the latter?
Progress depends on curiosity, unbiased thinking, an open mind – the willingness to seek knowledge. Neutrinos and non-visible wavelengths are examples of things we cannot see without the enhanced tools science has brought for that clear vision. What other mysteries can we solve by having an open mind?
Have you seen a wormhole in space that enables us to go from galaxy to galaxy (the movie Interstellar [should be Intergalactic] deploys them)? Our theories don't allow us to go faster than the speed of light so science fiction uses wormholes and warp speed (warping space). But our theories are based on the science of a Type 0 Civilization (Karashev Scale). Does quantum entanglement (Wacky Physics) change this? That's the point. Do we only believe or even consider what can be sensed and/or conditioned by the body of knowledge of a Type 0 civilization – or worse yet, based on an agenda?
Jim Hoover is a recently retired systems engineer. He has advanced degrees in Economics and English. Prior to his aerospace career, he taught in high schools, and he has also served as an adjunct college instructor. He recently published a science fiction novel called Extraordinary Visitors and writes political and science columns on several websites.

Lester B Pearson School Board Election – Chris Eustace for Chairman
Your Local Journal – Dear Editor: May 22, 2014 ("Outrage")
After submitting my questions and comments in writing, I attended the May 8 meeting of the School Tax Committee, known also by its French acronym, CGTSIM (cgtsim.qc.ca).I wanted to ascertain how much our school taxes would be hiked this year, and repeat a recommendation: School boards should get out of the tax-collecting business.
Anyway, as we will find out soon, school taxes are going up 2.5 per cent, which a fair portion of these taxes go toward board-level administrative expenses.
With that thought in mind, I also wanted to find out from exactly which tax 'envelope' did the following expense come from but I found out nothing as boards are autonomous.
According to the "Commissioner Expense Reports," about six weeks ago, LBPSB chairperson Suanne Stein Day, a member of the CGTSIM, spent $2537.90, to attend a school board weekend session, in New Orleans, Louisiana. She was accompanied by the chairperson of the Executive Committee, who also used precious school tax dollars, $2545.95, to attend the event at a country whose education standards are a lot lower than ours.
No report was given at either the subsequent Pearson Executive Committee or Regular Council meetings as to any benefits for our students that were gained from this trip.
That said, last weekend, the President of the Quebec Treasury Board Martin Coiteux rightfully blasted school boards for their lavish spending at their convention at the Chateau Montebello. From May 22- 24, the English boards are off to the Chateau Frontenac, in Quebec City, to basically have a good time, at their conference, in a luxurious setting, at taxpayers' expense. (Months ago , Lester B had allocated 15 spots.)
How refreshing it was to read Mr. Coiteux's comments, in which he "expressed outrage," and said these things are "unacceptable." He expects school boards "to work in the same direction as the entire public sector," and must put "their shoulder to the wheel," and "conduct these activities at a lower cost in a manner more acceptable to Quebecers."
Indeed. Why not plan for more modest ceremonies during these global belt-tightening times? Why not use a school to cut down on costs?
For example: The school where I used to work has an auditorium that was suitable for former premier, Robert Bourassa, to give a speech. The school grounds are fitting to hold St. Jean Baptiste festivities; Celine Dion sang there once, before she became a star.
The building has air-conditioning, emergency electric generators, and was deemed by the Canadian Armed forces, in January 1998, to be most decent to house 3000 people in the event the Ice Storm continued.
Trudeau airport is about 25 minutes away and nearby is a golf course where Tiger Woods played a few years ago.
The 'Leadership Defined' conference, in Montebello, wraps up with a Grand Ballroom dinner dance with the invitation: "Celebrate our greatness as leaders!"
To conclude: Bravo newly-elected West Island MNA Martin Coiteux for calling it for what it is, thinking of the overburdened taxpayer, and sending a clear message: Be frugal.
That's leadership compared to school commissioners, who under the guise of professional development, waste a lot of money, showing off an inflated sense of self-importance.

Our second grade teacher, Mrs. Poorman, led our students on a journey in time to the prairie. Like the book they finished reading, Little House on the Prairie, they enjoyed activities like tilling soil, chopping wood, cooking over the open fire, quilting, whittling, and making homemade pies with lard crusts. Girls in their bonnets and boys in their suspenders they looked the part of the dutiful prairie children.


The first half of the book is brilliant - the second half slips into futurist meandering. Powershift helps you to understand the shift into an information based economy. Trading thrives in this environment. Understanding the message of this book gave me the focus and the edge to trade the markets by making the best use of available technology. There is no direct link here with trading, but by understanding the environment you can find a profitable niche.


In 1897, renovation of the church was undertaken, with an addition to the back of the original building, and with changes to the front of the sanctuary that remain to this day. George Hutchings, one of Boston's premier organ builders, was commissioned to build a new instrument, his Opus 435, which still stands. Installation began toward the end of 1897 and was completed in the winter of 1898.
The Hutchings organ consisted originally of 27 stops distributed over three manuals and pedal, with couplers, a swell box, tremolo, and some mechanical registration assists. The original keyboard action was, and remains, mechanical, where wooden trackers run directly from the key to the valve under each pipe; the original pedal action was tubular pneumatic (now electro-pneumatic). The character of the instrument exemplified the late‑Romantic ideal. Its many unison stops, rather orchestral in nature and speaking directly into the room, would have filled the sanctuary with a mellow, warm sound.
In succeeding decades, alterations have been made to the instrument, some in response to changing musical tastes and others in response to the normal mechanical wear on an organ in continual use. In 1958, Andover Organ Company, under the direction of then-partners Thomas W. Byers and Charles B. Fisk, carried out the first of what has turned into a series of renovation projects. Changes made to the instrument in the 1920s were removed, one of which was an enormous shutter wall between the organ chamber and the front display pipes. The sound, muffled and distant, returned instantly to its original fullness. Also, as part of this renovation, the pedal was prepared for expansion and the old, warped manual keyboards were replaced.
Major tonal revisions were undertaken in 1962, again by Andover Organ Company, now under the direction of Robert Reich. Several ranks of pipes were revoiced to give more clarity and unity to the sound. New sets of pipes, called mixtures and designed to integrate within the existing pipework, were added to give more color and brilliance to the ensemble. Work in the early 1970s by organ builder Thad Outerbridge included additions to the pedal and extensive mechancial work. Further work in the late 1970s and early 1980s by Andover Organ Company added still more to the pedal and returned the Clarinet stop that had been removed in 1962, bringing the instrument to its current state.
The organ now contains almost 1900 pipes, cylindrical and conical, wood and metal, flue and reed. The pipes are grouped into sets, or ranks, of 61 each for the manuals and 32 each for the pedal. The largest pipe is 16‑feet long and about 15‑inches square, producing the lowest tone in the pedal; the smallest pipe, producing the highest tone in the organ, has a speaking length of about 1/2-inch. Of the 27 pipes visible at the front of the organ, 16 are real and "speak"; the other 11 are dummies that serve to fill the space symmetrically.
Large pipe organs, like houses, require periodic major maintenance to ensure their preservation and future use. In 1996, with the approach of the organ's 100th anniversary and the realization that about 25 years had passed since its last thorough going‑over and mechanical adjustment, major work was again undertaken by Andover Organ Company.
Pipe work was cleaned and regulated, especially the reeds; wind leaks were sealed; moving parts were lubricated and adjusted. The tracker action was rebuilt with wooden tracker rods comparable to the originals, replacing metal rods installed in the 1970s. An action "floating" mechanism was installed to stabilize the manual keyboards against extremes of New England humidity and temperature. The effects of this work were readily apparent in the sound: a little brighter and more stable, due to the removal of dust and the pipes getting their full wind. Likewise, the touch is more even and sensitive for the player.
The First Parish organ is a significant example of several generations of American organ building. Its tone is big, warm, and clear, while the reworkings and additions have increased its flexibility and tonal palette. Also significant is the fact that the basic structure and content of the original Hutchings is still present, and that this is one of the few late‑19th century mechanical‑action instruments that was not later electrified. With the organ celebrating its centennial in 1997-98, it continues to serve admirably in leading the congregational singing, in accompanying the choir, and in performing the great wealth of organ literature.
