I worked this up for the December Splitcoast Dirty Dozen challenge CT1210 -- any project with a musical theme. I really wanted to use my Rich Razzleberry taffeta ribbon, so I designed this card around that glorious pale color.
The torn wallpaper was done with the back-to-back design from the Springtime Vintage dsp. Remember to sponge BOTH sides of your dsp before you peel it to get the really distressed, vintage look!
The gramophone was watercolored, then double-matted in Early Espresso and Rich Razzleberry and covered with a beveled windowpane. I really tried to get a good photo of this detail, but the windowpane distorts the image somewhat.
The beautiful paper rose was made using the Birds & Blooms large flower Sizzlit and Melanie Schulenberg's fabulous video tutorial. Go to her blog, Pockets of Inspiration, to get started on your own beauties! The miniature rose in the lower right hand corner was made with Cherie Franklin's tutorial, available in the April 2010 issue of the Paper Crafters Sampler.

“Dispersal of Knowledge” Pushes Protests Forward
On Wednesday, March 10, a group of about 60 students gathered in the Ring Room of the Cross Cultural Center for the first meeting in a series called “Dispersal of Knowledge.” After the March 4 action at UCI, in which 800 students marched in support of education reform, many students wanted to find a way to keep the movement going. The meetings were created by individual students, not representing any organizations, who were seeking a way to unite students and find a way to collectively move forward.
The meeting, which was scheduled at 7:30, began close to 8 p.m. with a brief presentation about the disinvestment in public education over the past several decades. “This crisis is not natural,” said Emmeline Domingo, third-year literary journalism and sociology major. Domingo, along with other students throughout the two-hour meeting, spoke about the government’s decision to not fund public education.
After 10 minutes of introduction, student leaders opened the discussion to the room, asking questions such as, “Why did you come tonight?” and “Why do you protest?” Answered varied, but the overarching reason for attending the meeting was clear: People wanted to know more. “You always see protests,” one fourth-year student said. “I finally stopped and listened.”
“Everyone has different roles,” added fourth-year anthropology and criminology major Benjamin Ndugga-Kabuye, who is doing research on the topic. He, along with several other students, voiced their need to speak for those who could not speak for themselves. “When you have to drop out [because of the fee increases], no one’s going to protest for you.”
Though the group was mainly made up of students already actively involved in the student movement, there were a few new faces who were eager to learn more about what their fellow students were fighting for. One graduate student, who is also a recent alum, in engineering came with a friend in hopes to learn about what was his peers were thinking about and why they were protesting. The engineering department, he argued, is often secluded from the activism coming out of the Humanities and Social Sciences – another major problem members of the movement are fighting.
Additional topics throughout the night included the definition of “radicalism,” the issue of arrest and the list of demands written by student protesters for the February 24 protest at UCI.
The meeting ended at 9:30 with a closing comment from Justine Calma of ASUCI, who shared with the room that ASUCI had just recently passed legislation in support of the Irvine 11’s freedom of speech. With that news, the energized crowd dispersed for the night, leaving the future of the movement open for more discussion and more action.

Via Steve Benen:
Americans first learned back on June 24, more than four months ago, about the House Republican plan to file a lawsuit against President Obama. Two weeks later, House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) announced the basis for the case: the GOP would sue to implement an obscure provision of the Affordable Care Act, which Republicans don’t actually want to see implemented.
There is a punch line; the actual complaint still has yet to be filed.
It is simple enough to explain what is going on here.
• Congressional Republicans decided their best strategy was to (A) stonewall President Obama on pretty much everything they could, and (B) combine this effort with an attempt to create a delegitimizing narrative in history—e.g., Birtherism, feet on the desk, what jacket the president is wearing, &c., in addition to the usual politics of working very hard to accomplish an outcome specifically so that one can then complain about that outcome.
• House Republicans might contend this is their only recourse, but that would be a lie. The simple fact is that the House can draft and adopt articles of impeachment at any time, but GOP leadership knows they have nothing.
• Hence, a lawsuit that will go exactly nowhere if it is ever filed; House GOP leadership already knows this.
• What is left, then, is a fundraising device. GOTO delegitimizing narrative. It’s not even a FOR/NEXT loop, but, rather, infinite spinning down the rabbit hole.
• When a Republican or one of those fake-independent conservative libertarians tells you government doesn’t work, remember that is not actually a policy assessment, but, rather, a policy goal—the GOP’s raison d’être.

City launches 'comprehensive review' of storm ponds after Dundonald student's death
The City of Saskatoon will closely examine storm ponds after a five-year-old boy attending Ecole Dundonald School was found in a nearby retention pond earlier this week.
Angela Gardiner, the city’s acting general manager of transportation and utilities, said the city will have an “initial meeting” with the public school division today to discuss how the incident happened, potential improvements at the Dundonald pond and general safety measures at all Saskatoon schools.
“As part of that, we are conducting an internal investigation and a comprehensive review of our storm ponds as well as everything around them with regards to the infrastructure, the design (and) our policies for maintenance — everything pertaining to the storm ponds — to ensure that they are safe for all users and all residents in the city,” she said.
The review is a direct result of Monday’s death, and the city will also examine best practices in other jurisdictions, she said.
“As we move forward with the comprehensive review, we’ll be addressing whatever other items do come up, and a lot of this information will be used and provided to the coroner as well as part of their investigation.”
Two other Saskatoon schools are located within 300 metres of a civic water feature: the public division’s Ecole Lakeview School is about 140 metres from a body of water in the Lakeview neighbourhood, and nearby St. Bernard Catholic School is about 250 metres away.
Jana Kinar, president of the Lakeview Community Association, said while she doesn’t have an opinion on whether the pond should be fenced, it’s important for the city to include the Lakeview pond in its investigation.
“I’m not going to say that anything should be done or anything like that, but I think … when you have something of a similar landscape, it should be included, because what might be recommended for one could be recommended for another,” she said.
Gardiner said the city wants parents to speak with their children about safe behaviour around ponds and any other danger that may be present in a school environment.

The savings of the rich are recycled into household and government debt.
By guest author Peter Coy. Peter Coy is the economics editor for Bloomberg Businessweek and covers a wide range of economic issues.
We know three things about the U.S. economy: The rich are getting richer, everyone else is in debt, and interest rates have fallen. Is there a connection? Yes, and the link has implications for fiscal and monetary policy.
By forcing interest rates down, extreme wealth inequality pushes the U.S. economy toward a “debt trap” that’s hard to escape with conventional macroeconomic tools, write Atif Mian of Princeton, Ludwig Straub of Harvard, and Amir Sufi of the University of Chicago in an important paper that came out earlier this year, titled “Indebted Demand.” They advocate unconventional measures such as redistributive tax policies that narrow the gap between rich and poor.
The paper is in the same vein as work by former Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke, who publicized the concept of a global savings glut, and former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers, who revived the Depression-era notion of secular stagnation. Mian, Straub, and Sufi’s contribution is the theory of indebted demand, which they write is “the idea that large debt burdens lower aggregate demand, and thus the natural rate of interest.”
Here’s their concept: The rich can’t possibly spend everything they earn, so they save a lot. In theory those savings can be recycled into productive investment, but in practice a lot of the money finances borrowing—i.e., dissaving—by people farther down the income ladder. “A substantial amount of borrowing by households in the bottom 90% of the wealth distribution was financed through the accumulation of financial assets by the top 1%,” the economists write, citing their own prior work.
The lending from rich to poor can be indirect. For example, let’s say a rich person buys shares issued by a company. The company stashes the proceeds in a bank. The bank in turn makes a loan to a non-rich person to buy a car or a house. The borrowers have a higher propensity to spend than the lenders, but they have less money to spend because part of their income goes to debt service.
The excess of desired savings over desired investment pushes interest rates down and down until the effective lower bound of around zero. Rates can’t get much below zero because savers won’t tolerate it—they’d rather put their money under a mattress than earn a negative return on it.
Any policy that attempts to fix things by encouraging more borrowing makes things better in the short run but worse in the long run by saddling the private or government borrowers with even more debts that will eventually have to be repaid, the economists write.
That’s why they favour redistribution through income or wealth taxes, which would increase the spending power of the 90 %. “One-time debt forgiveness policies can also lift the economy out of the debt trap, but need to be combined with other policies, such as macroprudential ones, to prevent a return to the debt trap over time,” they write.
Not everyone agrees, of course. An article about the research in the latest issue of the Chicago Booth Review, a publication of the University of Chicago’s Booth School of Business, quotes Booth’s Steven Kaplan as saying that wealth taxation was tried unsuccessfully in Europe. Kaplan also tells the publication that wealth inequality had been shrinking before the pandemic struck.
Chicago’s Sufi responds in the article: “Any decline in inequality from 2017 to 2019 was tiny compared with the rise in inequality since the 1980s, and the Covid-19 crisis will almost assuredly amplify inequality going forward.”

When it was completed in 1902, the New York Herald proclaimed that Whitehall, Henry Flagler's home in Palm Beach, was "more wonderful than any palace in Europe, grander and more magnificent than any other private dwelling in the world." As wonderful as Whitehall was in 1902, and remains today, it was built to be, and has always been, so much more than a house. Unlike any of Flagler's other homes, Whitehall was a literal manifestation of Andrew Carnegie's admonition, in his essay titled The Gospel of Wealth, to his fellow titans of business that, "It is well, nay essential, for the progress of the race that the houses of some should be homes for all that is highest and best in literature and the arts, and for all the refinements of civilization..." Carnegie's description of the kind of houses the business leaders of the Gilded Age should build, is a near-perfect description of a museum. After all, the word museum literally means "a home for the Muses of arts and literature and their works." And, build a museum, Florida's first museum, is exactly what Flagler did.
Having given Beaux Arts trained architects John Carrère and Thomas Hastings their first big commission, the Hotel Ponce de Leon in St. Augustine a decade and a half earlier, Flagler again turned to them for the design of Whitehall. By then their career had taken off and they were in the midst of designing the New York Public Library. Thomas Hastings would later become one of only four Gilded Age American architects to receive a gold medal from the Royal Institute of British Architecture. Carrère and Hastings designed many houses for the wealthy during their careers, but no doubt they understood the commission to design Whitehall was not about just designing another house. They believed architecture was the highest form of artistic endeavor and a powerful cultural influence, and their designs for Whitehall were the fullest expression of that conviction. In fact, John Carrère made perfectly clear his belief in the power of architecture to instruct and influence culture when he said, "The amount of art education which a building can disseminate among the masses is far beyond what we realize." Typically, in the private house museums of the Gilded Age the facade and first floor were filled with symbols. In fact, the main purpose of the facade and first floor of these house museums was to serve as an elaborate communication device. The message communicated was that these buildings did in fact represent the highest and best in literature and the arts and that their builders were not simply business titans, but society's leaders, or as Carnegie pointed out in the same essay, society's "trustees."
Americans of the early 21 century can be forgiven for assuming business leaders might also naturally be society's leaders. After all, it's what we have known for generations. But, the business leaders of the late 19th century were acutely aware that the social model developing in America at that time had no real historical precedent. While businessmen throughout history might have become quite wealthy indeed, society's leadership was in essence the exclusive domain of noble birth. However, a number of critical concepts came together during the Gilded Age to produce a uniquely American view of the world and the American character we take for granted today. Having survived a civil war that in large measure was fought to determine whether Americans would recreate a society dominated by landed gentry, like the societies left behind in Britain and Europe, or whether American society would become the meritocracy dreamed of by each new wave of immigrants, the way was paved to pursue the latter, which as it turns out was better suited to the industrial revolution that was about to shift into overdrive. The Civil War also seemed to confirm for Americans, that this large-scale "experiment" in democracy, and its emphasis on individual freedom, had moved from experiment to genuine viability. At the same time, as the corporate model for doing business of all kinds became more and more common place and capitalism gained momentum during the late 19th century, individual initiative became a much celebrated hallmark of the American character. Meanwhile, the explosion of technology that took place during the Gilded Age was like nothing ever seen in history. It seemed to make significant changes in Americans' lives on an almost daily basis and it produced fortunes the scale of which are nearly impossible to imagine today. For the majority of late 19th century Americans, who were born into a world lit by candlelight and powered by water and wood burning, but who now found themselves in a new world lit by electricity and powered by oil, technology meant a better standard of living and more free time to pursue self improvement of all kinds. And lastly, Darwin's theories of speciation, which were widely misunderstood then, as they still are today, seemed to support the notion that not only survival, but supremacy, belonged to those who demonstrated they were the fittest. Together these critical elements produced an American Character that combined individual freedom, can-do spirit, anyone-can-make-good, and unwavering belief in technology that seemed perfectly suited to the "New World" sought by the first generation of Americans and now finally realized by their decedents and successors.
When seen in the light of the events of the Gilded Age and through the eyes of those who created them, the house museums built by the titans of that age take on new meaning. By looking closely at the symbols these buildings employ, they begin to look less like ostentatious displays of wealth and more like giant messages to that and future generations. The primary message wasn't, "Hey, look at me, I'm rich!", rather, when the symbolism is understood, the message is more like, "Hey, look at us. We Americans are the realization of more than 3,000 years of western cultural evolution and it is in this New World where individual freedom and individual initiative determine merit and where technology has freed us to be our best that the human experience can finally be what it was always meant to be." Now, that's a very big message and from the perspective of the Gilded Age social leaders, the message must necessarily be communicated in a way that one would have to be blind, deaf, and dumb to miss. The preferred and most effective way to communicate messages that are not likely to be missed by anyone has always been through monumental architecture. After all, when we look back through history isn't it the buildings of the great civilizations past that we think of as the most powerful symbols of those societies?
Whitehall, the house museum that Henry Flagler built, may be one of the purest expressions of the Gilded Age trend of building monumental communication devices, and the message is most clear where Carrère and Hastings concentrated the greatest amount of effort, in the facade and the Grand Hall. For Whitehall's facade, Carrère and Hastings designed an entrance framed by massive columns that looks very much like a temple to Apollo, where the Muses would reside. Appropriately, the grounds approaching Whitehall were left relatively unmanicured, a reference to the untamed bacchanalian world found outside the well-ordered world of the gods and muses inside the temple. As one enters Whitehall's massive Grand Hall, overhead is a domed ceiling painting depicting the Oracle of Delphi, a sort of spokesperson for Apollo and everywhere are symbols and references to the works of the Muses and objects that to the 19th century mind represented the "highest and best in literature and the arts" from throughout western history. Atop a marble table near the entrance is a bust of Augustus Caesar, widely viewed by American's at the time as a model for the challenges they faced. Just as the Romans were regarded by the Greeks as technologically talented but deficient in arts and culture, so 19th century Americans were regarded by Europe. The unearthing of the impressive statue of Augustus of the Prima Porta in the 19th century reminded Americans that Augustus led the transformation of Rome from a technologically advanced society, exemplified through its advanced but utilitarian looking, buildings, roads, bridges, and aqueducts, made of bricks and mortar, to a society of high technology and high culture symbolized by monumental marble facades. Deeper into Whitehall's massive Grand Hall is a clock that symbolizes the union between technology and aesthetics that Americans believed, as did the Romans before them, was their destiny to bring about. Designed by cabinet maker Francois Linke, the clock is one of the most aesthetically impressive clocks ever built and a grand statement of the importance that time and technology had assumed as the Industrial Age came into its own. Not far from the Linke clock is a full-length portrait of Henry Flagler by Spanish society painter, Raimundo de Madrazo y Garreta. The portrait is perhaps the best illustration of Gilded Age Americans' view of themselves. Flagler stands beside a French Louis XV style table and chair, symbols of high culture, with his right hand resting on the table, a symbolic stance hitherto reserved only for those who were deemed fit to lead society by virtue of their birth. Behind Flagler is an open ledger book and newspaper, identifying Flagler as a business leader and behind them are other books, at least one of which is certainly literature. The message is clear. Henry Flagler was being presented to the viewer as a leader in business and society. A leader whose authority was based on the fact that his success proved he was leader. A leader who understood that the ultimate step in society's evolution would be possible only through the union of technology, merit, and culture.
Built in just 18 months, Whitehall was intended to be both a monumental example of high culture and high technology. In 1900, when construction began, Palm Beach was one of the least developed and most remote locations in the United States. It was arguably America's last frontier. However, with 22 bathrooms, electric lighting, central heating, and a telephone system, Whitehall was not only an impressive statement of high culture, but perhaps the most technologically advanced home in America. As huge crews worked around the clock to complete Whitehall in such a short time, Flagler wrote to the furniture and decorating firm of Pottier and Stymus saying, "I too wonder how you have accomplished so much in such a short time... but I trust that when it is finished, you will have the satisfaction of contemplating it as the greatest job of your life."
Today, Whitehall is a National Historic Landmark and a public house museum that has been visited by millions from around the world. It stands as a monument to a time when the American character we celebrate was born from a unique series of events that came together in history only one time and in only one place - here, in America. Florida could not have hoped for a more appropriate or impressive place as its first museum.

Zimbabwe has started rolling power cuts lasting up to eight hours that will also hit mines, a schedule from the state power utility showed on Monday, after reduced output at both the largest hydro plant and ageing coal-fired generators.
The power cuts will add to mounting public anger against President Emmerson Mnangagwa’s government as Zimbabweans grapple with an economic crisis that has seen shortages of US dollars, fuel, food and medicines as well as soaring inflation that is eroding earnings and savings.
The Zimbabwe Electricity Transmission and Distribution Company (ZETDC) said power cuts, known locally as load shedding, would start on Monday and will last up to eight hours during morning and evening peak periods.
“The power shortfall is being managed through load shedding in order to balance the power supply available and the demand,” ZETDC said in a public notice.
Isaac Kwesu, chief executive of Chamber of Mines, which groups Zimbabwean’s biggest mining companies, did not answer his mobile phone when contacted for comment.
Mining accounts for more than three-quarters of Zimbabwean’s export earnings and any power cuts in the sector will affect production and exports.
In the past, some of the big mines, including platinum and gold producers, have resorted to directly importing electricity from neighbouring countries like Mozambique and South Africa.
Zimbabwe last experienced its worst power shortages in 2016 following a devastating drought.
The southern African nation, which is producing 969 MW daily against peak demand of 2 100 MW, is entering its peak winter power demand season, which will increase electricity consumption.
Minister of Energy and Power Development Joram Gumbo was quoted by a local newspaper saying he would travel to Mozambique this week to try to agree an electricity supply deal with that country’s power utility Hydro Cahora Bassa.

Addressing the International Fishery Exhibition in London in 1883, T.H. Huxley said:
I believe that it may be affirmed with confidence that, in relation to our present modes of fishing, a number of the most important fisheries, such as the cod fishery, the herring fishery and the mackerel fishery, are inexhaustible. And I base this conviction on two grounds, first, that the multitude of these fishes is so inconceivably great that the number we catch is relatively insignificant; and, secondly, that the magnitude of the destructive agencies at work upon them is so prodigious, that the destruction effected by the fisherman cannot sensibly increase the death-rate.
Shortly afterwards the landings of fish from the seas around north-west Europe increased to an extent that Huxley could not have envisaged. Sailing vessels were superseded by ships with powerful steam engines, enabling the use of much larger nets and the replacement of the old beam trawl by the far more effective otter trawl, and giving fishermen a new independence of wind and tide so that they could fish longer and more often. Within 30 years of Huxley's pronouncement there was already evidence of reduction of stocks of certain favourite demersal species such as cod, haddock and plaice on the more intensively fished areas of the north-east Atlantic. Between the two World Wars the decline became more apparent, and in 1942 E.S. Russell wrote:
A state of overfishing exists in many of the trawl fisheries in north-west European waters. Two things are wrong. First, there is too much fishing, resulting in catches below the possible steady maximum, and secondly, the incidence of fishing falls too early in the fishes' life resulting in a great destruction of undersized fish which ought to be left in the sea to grow.
Since World War II the catching power of fishing vessels has been further augmented by several innovations. The change from steam to diesel power has raised the power and speed of ships. The development of nets made of stronger, lighter and longer-lasting materials has encouraged the use of even larger nets. The availability of synthetic fibres of various densities, both lighter and heavier than water, facilitates the control and correct orientation of nets in the water by selection of different densities for different parts, and the use of transparent fibres invisible in water has increased the efficiency of certain nets. Sophisticated sonic techniques have been invented for the detection of fish shoals, and for net handling. Modern navigation systems such as GPS (see Section 3.3.5) allow accurate return to good fishing areas and accurate deployment of nets. Refrigeration equipment installed on fishing boats has allowed them to range far afield and continue fishing until full without deterioration of the catch.
The rise in world landings of fish since the end of World War II has been remarkable (Figure 9.25). Over the period 1948-1968 the increase was around 7 per cent per year, bringing the world total annual catch of sea fish from under 20 million tonnes in 1948 to over 60 million tonnes in 1970. Around 1970, the annual catch stopped rising. Between 1980 and 1989 it rose very slowly, and over the past few years appears to have declined slightly. Greater efforts to catch fish have not recently resulted in significantly heavier landings and there is now much concern at the intensity of exploitation of many fish stocks and the risks of diminishing returns through overfishing.
In order to understand what is involved in 'overfishing', we will briefly consider the effects that fishing is likely to have on the size and composition of fish populations. First, we will take the case of a stock of fish which is subjected only to very light fishing. This population can be regarded as having grown to the limits
Figure 9.25 World landings of sea fish, 1938-1992.
(Source: FAO yearbooks.)

(Source: FAO yearbooks.)
imposed by the food supply, which restricts both the number of fish surviving and the size to which the individual fish grow. Scarcity of food prevents all the fish from making as much growth as they would if they were better fed, and the slow-growing, older fish compete for food with the rapidly growing younger specimens. The small catches taken by fishermen are likely to consist mainly of the larger, older fish; but due to age, undernourishment or disease, these may not be of good quality, and therefore fetch correspondingly poor prices on the market.
A stock of fish in this condition may be regarded as 'underfished'. The population is overcrowded. An undue proportion of the food is consumed by old fish of poor market quality at the expense of young fish, and none can realize its full growth potential. This stock could support a larger, more profitable fishery of better-quality fish if more fish were caught. A reduction in the size of the population, particularly by the removal of older fish, would promote a better growth rate throughout the remaining stock and improve the condition of the fish, the process being analogous to a gardener thinning out his plants to encourage the best growth and quality of his specimens.
Considering now the opposite case, a stock of fish subject to extremely heavy fishing, this population is likely to consist mainly of young, small specimens because the fish are caught as soon as they reach catchable size. Landings of undersized fish are likely to fetch poor prices because these fish carry little edible meat, being mainly skin and bone. This stock is obviously 'overfished'. Too many fish are caught too early in life. Young fish make rapid growth and, if left longer in the sea, would soon reach a more valuable size, providing heavier landings and better prices. Productivity and profits would eventually improve if the amount of fishing was reduced.
However, in these conditions the fisherman is tempted to try to increase his profits by catching even more fish. This is a vicious spiral which can only lead to a further reduction in the size of the stock, and a further dwindling of the fisherman's income. Indeed a point may be reached at which so many fish are caught before they have lived long enough to spawn that the reproductive capacity of the stock becomes severely impaired, leading to a catastrophic decline in numbers through failure to produce enough young and even a danger of extinction.
We can therefore distinguish two aspects of overfishing. There is what may be termed growth overfishing, where catches are poor because too many fish are caught before making optimum growth but recruitment of young fish is not seriously affected. There may also occur recruitment overfishing when the stock fails through depressed intake of recruits resulting from a reduction in the numbers of spawners.

Renewable energy is energy that is generated from sunlight, rain, tides, geothermal heat and wind. These sources are naturally and constantly replenished, which is why they are deemed as renewable. The usage of renewable energy sources is very important when considering the sustainability of the existing energy usage of the world. While there is currently an abundance of non-renewable energy sources, such as nuclear fuels, these energy sources are depleting. In addition to being a non-renewable supply, the non-renewable energy sources release emissions into the air, which has an adverse effect on the environment.

In 1914, the Americans — for the first time — had their chance to cast ballots on election day for candidates for the United States Senate.
This November will mark 100 years of direct election to the “most exclusive club in the world.”
It’s likely Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was unaware of this piece of history when he decided to kind of, sort of, but not really reform Canada’s Senate.
Our unaccountable upper chamber of “sober second thought” has not been reformed, no matter how much Trudeau bats his eyelashes and insists he has made sweeping changes.
What he gave us instead, was more window dressing as he unilaterally fired 32 Liberal Senators.
Of course Trudeau, like any Parliamentary leader, cannot fire a Senator, so instead he fired them from the Liberal caucus, turning these 32 Liberal Senators into — wait for it — 32 Liberals in the Senate.
After the initial pronouncement, a number of the now supposedly “independent” Senators took to Twitter to express their apparent glee over this.
Notably, Sen. Mobina Jaffer, who was appointed to the red chamber in 2001 by former prime minister Jean Chretien tweeted: “Mood upbeat in Liberal Senate caucus. Now we will serve Canadians more effectively.”
This leads to the obvious question of how, exactly, she felt she was unable to serve Canadians effectively prior to last week’s announcement?
Trudeau’s declaration accomplishes nothing.
The Liberal Party of Canada is clearly unwilling to be a partner in Parliament for real, meaningful, reform of the Senate.
Trudeau suggested nothing to provide Canadians with a vote in selecting the red chamber, to bring accountability to it or to end the practice of appointing senators until age 75.
After all, why provide steak, when sizzle alone has worked so well for Trudeau so far?
But window dressing seems to be in style for Liberals lately.
Last week, Ontario Liberal Health Minister Deb Matthews launched a war on health care funding for bogus refugee claimants.
Matthews’ huffing may have taken up newscast minutes and broadsheet newspaper inches, but beyond that, what exactly did she accomplish?
Premier Kathleen Wynne also opted for window-dressing.
This, rather than address the jobs and unemployment crisis that has developed in Ontario while she and former premier Dalton McGunity devoted time to pretend actions like banning teenagers from tanning beds and calorie counting on fast food menus.
Wynne apparently thinks the path to fuller employment is making it more expensive to employ those in need of jobs.
What does her 75-cent-per-hour boost to the minimum wage mean to those out of work?
Very little, especially when most of the increase will be clawed back through taxes and rising utility bills.
Not to mention it will be more difficult to find employment in the job market as fewer low-wage workers are hired to make up for this new cost in employing them.
This is not how to kick start a struggling economy.
For those fortunate to be employed, this puts their jobs at risk by making it even more challenging to keep staffing levels where they are for employers who are struggling to make ends meet.
And for the incredibly lucky, those who are employed and will not lose their jobs, or some hours of work, because of the increase of the minimum wage to $11/hour, this is little more than a backdoor payroll tax.
It will also make it harder for young people — who constitute the vast majority of minimum wage workers — to find their first job and get on the path to earning not only an income, but on-the-job experience, as well as providing funds for their educational advancement.
If Wynne really wanted to help increase employment in Ontario, rather than govern by committee and call for “conversations” about everything, she would abandon the province’s mad experiment with wind and solar power which is helping to drive manufacturing jobs out of the province due to the high cost of electricity.
She would get the province’s growing debt and deficit under control, so that paying off interest on debt would no longer consume $10.3 billion a year from taxpayers — the third largest government expenditure after health care and education.
Instead, this money disappears down a black hole year in and year out, mortgaging the future of workers at every level of the Ontario economy.

WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump on Thursday said he “never directed Michael Cohen to break the law,” a day after his former longtime personal attorney was sentenced to three years in federal prison, in part for crimes tied to his work for Trump.
In a series of morning tweets and in an afternoon Fox News appearance, Trump faulted Cohen alone for any legal misdeeds involved in coordinating hush-money deals with a porn star and a former Playboy model in the run-up to the presidential election to quash their allegations of an affair with Trump.
Cohen and federal prosecutors have said Cohen, the president’s personal attorney for more than a decade, arranged for the payoffs at Trump’s direction. Earlier in the year Trump acknowledged reimbursing Cohen for the payments, but on Thursday he insisted to Fox News that whatever Cohen did “he did on his own.”
On Twitter Trump wrote: “He was a lawyer and he is supposed to know the law. It is called ‘advice of counsel,’ and a lawyer has great liability if a mistake is made. That is why they get paid.”
Cohen pleaded guilty earlier this year to eight federal charges, including two counts of campaign finance violations stemming from $280,000 in payments made to porn star Stormy Daniels and former Playboy model Karen McDougal in the weeks before the general election in exchange for their silence.
The president, who earlier in the year denied knowledge of the payments before downplaying them months later as a “simple private transaction,” repeated his position Thursday that no campaign finance laws were violated, “because this was not campaign finance,” since campaign funds were not used.
Campaign finance watchdog groups have argued in federal court filings that the payments should have been publicly disclosed by the Trump campaign because federal law mandates the disclosure of payments made “for the purposes of influencing an election.”
Trump alleged on Twitter that the campaign finance charges against Cohen “were just agreed to by him in order to embarrass the president and get a much reduced prison sentence.”
On Wednesday, Cohen, who faced up to 5 years in prison for the charges that included tax evasion, making false statements to a bank and lying to Congress, was sentenced to 36 months by District Judge William H. Pauley III.
Cohen’s attorney initially argued he should not serve prison time because of his cooperation with federal investigators, but Pauley said while Cohen’s cooperation was “useful” it did not “wipe the slate clean.”
Just before Cohen was sentenced, he delivered an emotional statement in federal court in Manhattan, saying his “blind loyalty” to Trump caused him to “time and time again” feel it was his “duty to cover up his dirty deeds.”
On Twitter, Trump continued to rail against Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe into Russia's election interference and purported ties to the Trump campaign. Trump accused investigators of wanting “to scare everybody into making up stories that are not true by catching them in the smallest of misstatements. Sad!”
At least four Trump campaign associates have pleaded guilty to lying to investigators about their contacts with Russia, including Michael Flynn, the president’s former national security adviser.
Speaking about Flynn’s cooperation with Mueller’s office, Trump told Fox News: “Maybe they scared him enough that he'll make up a story but I have a feeling that maybe he didn't. He's a tougher kind of a guy than Cohen.”
Trump, in the interview, also distanced himself from a deal arranged by Cohen with the parent company of the National Enquirer aimed at paying McDougal to suppress her story in exchange for contract work with the publication. Federal prosecutors revealed Wednesday that the company is cooperating as part of a non-prosecution agreement, and has admitted their payments to McDougal were meant to influence the 2016 election.
“I have to go back and check,” Trump told Fox News. “I don’t think we made a payment to that tabloid.”
On Thursday evening The Wall Street Journal reported that Trump was present for an August 2015 meeting between Cohen and National Enquirer publisher David Pecker at which they discussed ways to suppress stories about Trump's alleged affairs.
The White House did not immediately respond to questions about the report.

The traditional rulers and residents of Amurie Ancient Kingdom in Imo State have earned commendation from the Executive Director of Pillars of Hope Africa Initiative (POHAI), Mrs. Chinyere Oge-Kalu, for their decision to abolish the Osu, Ohu, Ume, and Diala Caste systems.
Amurie Kingdom, comprising Amurie Omanze and Oboro Amurie in Isu Local Government, took this significant step, deeming the Osu caste system in Igboland as appalling and marginalizing.
In a press statement released in Abuja, Oge-Kalu highlighted that two other Imo communities, Amurie Omanze and Oboro Amurie in Isu Local Government Area, have also committed to abolishing these caste systems on January 4, 2024. The collective effort to eliminate these discriminatory practices was the result of years of advocacy by organizations such as the National Human Rights Commission, POHAI, G’naira Family Foundation (GFF), and Kemdi Chino Opera Foundation (KCOF).
Expressing hope for a broader impact, Oge-Kalu anticipated that more communities in Igboland would follow suit, emphasizing the dehumanizing effects of the caste systems on fellow compatriots.
During a gathering at the Palace of Eze Udo II, His Royal Highnesses, Eze C.O Nnajiemere (Eze Udo II of Amurie Omanze) and HRH, Eze V.O Ahamefule (Durugwoegebu IV, Duruoha I of Oboro Amurie) addressed their subjects, announcing January 4, 2024, as the date set for abolishing the Osu, Ume, Ohu, and Diala caste systems in the old Amurie Omanze ancient community.
This decision was warmly received by natives who had long prayed for this transformative moment in the history of Amurie.

New Mexico looking to recycle fracking waste water from oil and gas operations by Adrian Hedden, Sept 12, 2019, Carlsbad Current-Argus
New Mexico lawmakers are upping the urgency in developing technology and regulations to cut back on water waste from the oil and gas industry as the state continues to struggle with increasingly harsh drought conditions and fresh water depletion.
New Mexico Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham announced the formation of a produced water “consortium” intended to research and develop polices related to the treatment, reuse and regulation of produced water, or waste water, generated by hydraulic fracturing.
Traditionally, water contaminated or produced during the fracking process is disposed of via injection wells that pump the water back underground.
Last year, records show more than 42 billion gallons of produced water were generated, high in brine and toxic for human consumption.
The initiative was created as a partnership with the New Mexico Environment Department and New Mexico State University, with a memorandum of understanding signed by both organizations that would stay in effect until Sept. 30, 2022.
The Produced Water Research Consortium will be funded by donations from private companies, non-governmental organizations and state or federal agencies.
“Our state is continuing to take unprecedented steps forward to spur economic investment in furthering the science and technology associated with produced water and its potential treatment and reuse,” [Make citizens and livestock eat and drink the toxic radioactive waste, perhaps with fake lemon/chocolate/strawberry flavourings and corn syrup added to make it palatable/addictive for humans? said NMED Cabinet Secretary James Kenney.
“Through this partnership, science [or industry greed and profit driven propaganda?] will guide our regulatory decision-making with respect to produced water treatment.”
During the last New Mexico legislative session, Lujan Grisham signed House Bill 546, also known as the “Produced Water Act” which added regulations related to the handling and ownership of produced water.
New Mexico Rep. Nathan Small (D-36) said the state law, which he cosponsored, could serve as a guide to the regulations developed by the consortium.
“As New Mexicans, we know water is our most precious natural resource. I sponsored this legislation to save fresh water by clarifying and strengthening the rules for produced water while promoting investment and innovation in treating produced water,” he said.
“I am grateful and excited to see this strong partnership between NMSU and NMED to provide the science we need to safely make decisions on the best ways to utilize recycled and treated produced water.”
Speaker of the House Brian Egolf said the partnership between NMSU and NMED will further bolster the State’s efforts to regulate produced water under HB 546.
“This session, we were proud to pass the Produced Water Act so we can have more transparency and accountability in the treatment and reuse of produced water resulting from oil and gas operations,” Egolf said.
“These important efforts will help New Mexico lead the nation in saving fresh water for future generations.” [Only way to do that, is to ban frac’ing, permanently.]
NMSU Chancellor Dan Arvizu said the University’s work will help fill in gaps in knowledge and allow the state to create better, more informed regulations, and help oil and gas companies treat water for uses outside of the extraction industry. [translation: make us and our loved ones, and our pets/livestock eat and drink it]
“The multidisciplinary research approach that we are proposing is specifically needed to fill existing data gaps [with lies & propaganda to con the people into eating and drinking industy’s toxic waste?] to inform policy decisions,” he said.
“This is particularly true in the domain of produced water, where the understanding of reuse for purposes beyond hydraulic fracturing is lacking. [What a way to set up the brainwashing. Disgusting.] NMSU is excited to be at the very forefront of research in this area.”
U.S. Rep. Xochitl Torres Small (D-NM), a former water lawyer, commended her home state for its efforts to address waste water from oil and gas.
“We can build an energy future that works for all of us by tapping into innovative measures that conserve the water we all need. The Governor’s announcement of the MOU with New Mexico State University and the large private investment will fuel this cutting-edge research,” she said.
“Our nation’s greatest minds can use technology to remove contaminants from produced water, ensure that water meets the highest standard, and helps address the growing scarcity of our most precious resource.” [And get the people conned and desperate enough to drink it, even if still loaded with frac contaminants?]
Pennsylvania can’t inject waste water, so they figured out how to recycle it. Thomas Murphy from Penn State’s Marcellus Center for Outreach and Larry Millar from Aquatech explain how. Nathan J. Fish, Las Cruces Sun-News
NMED, the New Mexico Energy, Minerals and Natural Resources Department and the Office of the State Engineer are planning several meetings across the state to solicit public input on produced water and water handling, and its potential use outside of oil and gas production.
The first 45 minutes of the meeting will be dedicated to informing the public about produced water and the State agencies’ roles, and will be followed by a question-and-answer session.
A timeline for the drafting of the new regulations was not available.

“With the volume of produced water that is produced and disposed of each year, it is important to encourage the treatment and reuse of the water over disposal, which has been shown to have unintended consequences,” said Adrienne Sandoval, director of the State’s Oil Conservation Division. [same will happen when our “officials” make us drink and eat it]
“This is an important effort that NMED and EMNRD look forward to tackling.”

The bottom came and went here in Murrieta, Temecula, Winchester and the surrounding cities. The local Real estate market to sharp turn this spring as Bank Owned inventory dried up. Well, not exactly dried up, being held back. Many anticipate the market to be flooded with a new wave of foreclosures. While rumors abound of the next coming wave to be greater than what we are currently experiencing, we are still waiting for it to come. We have been anticipating this since March, and could have benefited from a little splash during this Hot summer!!
For now, we have to keep cool and take a very different approach to buying a home. I will break down each buyer distinction, the challenges we face and share what would be the most tactical strategy to take.
Let's start with our most regarded:
The things that make a Cash Buyer so attractive is the ability to close quickly, low risk to the sellers in failing to close( to get a loan really) and their decisiveness. In a normal market Cash is King as my professor use to tell us. Not in today's market. We are seeing cash buyers being beat out by Cash Buyers who are paying a premium or Conventional buyers who are willing to step up the price even more. You see, the competitive market we are in combined with bank taking huge losses has created a unique situation. In order for banks to mitigate their losses, they have to go with the HIGHEST bid with the LOWEST risk of not closing. This has allowed the conventional buyer who is willing to pay a 10% premium to beat out cash offers at asking.
- Tactical Advantages:
As a cash buyer, you will have to use options that are available to you that are not available to financed buyers.
1. Appraisals are part of getting a loan - So make your offer without an appraisal contingency. Have your Realtor do a broker's price opinion for you as part of your service.
2. Increase your deposit to 10% of the purchase price. Most financed buyers will traditionally go 1-3%. The higher the deposit, the more serious the seller thinks you are, and the less likelihood of pulling out of the deal
3. Time: A loan takes time regardless of how much down-payment is brought in. Shorten your timeframes to 10-15 days from acceptance. This gives you enough time to do your discovery. Your Realtor should be in close communication with you upon acceptance to schedule all necessary inspections and review reports and disclosures.
Last but not least:
4. Your offering price should be at the BPO value. Why? Most cash buyers want a discount for going all Cash right? Well, the Conventional buyer will offer the maximum the appraisal will support and sometimes a premium or no closing costs. You have to make the bank think twice.. Should I go with this financed offer at 10,000 over asking , or this ALL CASH at Asking?
Strategy: When you put all 4 together, you will increase your chances of getting accepted.
Onto our Conventional Buyer:
The conventional buyer is a mixture of a cash and financing. With high enough Fico scores and at least 20% down, these are sometimes regarded as good as CASH.
- Tactical Advantages:
1. Financing. Since a large part of the purchase is financed, a Conventional buyer can easily increase the purchase price to go above asking. How? Easy, they switch over from Conventional financing to an FHA loan with a high down payment. This allows you flexibility in your offer.
2. On FHA and VA buyer, you have the advantage of time also much like the cash buyer. Although you still have to get a loan, our experience has been that a solid Conventional buyer has no problems closing within 30 days. While FHA and VA sometimes go 45-60 Days.
3. Closing Costs. While most buyers, are still asking 3-4% in closing cost concessions. Make sure to use some of the Cash to pay for your own closing costs. Do not stack closing costs on top of your offer it weakens it. This all has to do because your offer may be contingent on the appraisal. If the appraisal comes in low, and you asked for closing costs, the seller believes that you are going to ask for a price reduction and still expect the closing cost concession.
4. Earnest money deposit. You are coming in with at least 20% on your offer, so make your offer with at least 5% earnest money deposit.
Strategy: Make offer 5-10% above the BPO Value ( what the house is actually worth), 5% Earnest money deposit, and carefully consider your closing costs. Make it a sliding scale. In other words, do not ask for a fixed amount - Ask for a percentage of the purchase price. IF the price is negotiated down, then the cost will be automatically be reduced - no need to renegotiate.
An FHA buyer is one who is seeking FHA financing that only requires a minimum of 3.5% down payment. Because FHA is less restrictive on their lending guidelines, the sellers sees this buyer as being more risky. Not to mention, that since the FHA will be insuring against default by the borrower, they need to make sure the home is in liveable conditions. if they are not, they will require the seller to make repairs before approving the loan. So to start, you are already behind the other two types of buyers just mentioned.
- Tactical Advantages:
1. You really only a couple advantages over the Conventional buyer. The appraisal!! You see, a lot of escrows have fallen out due to the appraisal guidelines HVCC that passed on May 1st. The loan officer can no longer choose a local, experienced, and knowledgeable appraiser. They are chosen at random, and sometimes have no clue as to what the local market is doing. As a result they bring in a LOW Value, and kill the deal. NOT YOU THOUGH - You can still have your loan officer choose the appraiser, and thereby give the seller a better assurance that what you are offering is what they are most likely to get.
2. Trade Time for a Better deal. Most Cash and Conventional buyers want quick decisions and quick escrow....Well, we all do. But if you are willing to trade time for money, you can a propery below fair market value!! That is correct!! Under market. You pursue short sales instead of bank owned. They take longer, but are sweeter deal when they get approved.
Strategy: Do not get into a bidding war with Cash and Conventional buyers unless you are prepared to pay your own closing costs. Pursue better deals by going after Short Sales. If you want to reduce the time you have to wait, then ask your Realtor to check on seasoned SHort Sales. If they do not know what those are, have them contact me. I will guide them in the right direction. Also, remind the listing agents that your offer is NOT subject to the HVCC, so their seller will max out with your offer.
Having family members who have served, these buyers deserve to use their benefit for serving our country. I blogged on the discrimination we are seeing in our industry. A true disservice to our military personnel.
- Tactical Advantages:
1. Flips: Because of the FHA anti-flip policy, Properties purchased by investors, fixed, and being resold on the market cannot be sold for 90 days to a buyer obtaining FHA financing. VA buyers are not subject to this limitation
2. 100% Financing and Closing costs. Since you are financing the entire loan, you can used the money you have saved to pay closing costs.
3. Same as the FHA buyer. You have the advantage of time. Trade time for a better deal. Remember the sayings "Hurry up and wait" - this is the same. You can get more house for the same money if you are willing to wait for an approval.
Strategy: Look for flips to buy rather than bank owned, they are just as quick and usually in better condition. Offer above asking like the FHA and Conventional buyers, but most importantly use the money you have to pay for your own closing costs, and plan to get into a house 4 months down the road. You can get a nice home for less money if you are willing to wait. Ask your Realtor to remind the listing agent of your dedicated service to our country. If they do not know how to tell them - just ask them to forward our BLOG.
While the market has turned and become highly competitive, there are still opportunities to capitalize on good deal if you have the right approach. We hope our blog help you get into a home faster and easier. Good luck and God Bless!

The Democratic National Committee’s pledge to use union contractors at its 2012 convention in Charlotte, N.C., is getting pushback from Republican state lawmakers who say the practice is undercutting local companies.
The measure calls on the DNC to “refrain form hiring workers and companies from outside (North Carolina) when qualified business or workers are available within the state.” The resolution was spurred on by a complaint from a North Carolina printing company that complained the DNC passed it over in favor of an out-of-state business.
“I think it’s only fitting that Tar Heel workers at least have the opportunity to benefit,” said state Rep. David Lewis, a Republican and the resolution’s sponsor.
The DNC, in its agreement with the Charlotte host committee, has promised to use union labor in the North Carolina region whenever possible.
The DNC convention committee so far has awarded three contracts to six firms totaling $7 million - but only one went to a unionized firm, the News and Observer newspaper of Raleigh, N.C., reported last week.
North Carolina is a “right-to-work” state, which means workers legally can’t be required to join a union to get a job. Only 3.2 percent of the state’s workforce belonged to a union in 2010 - the lowest percentage in the nation, according to the Labor Department’s Bureau of Labor Statistics.
The vote mostly followed party lines - just nine Democrats joined all the chamber’s Republicans in passing the resolution 75-42 - and House Democrats said the toothless measure was a waste of time.
“We’ve hired people in Charlotte. We’re doing a good job,” Democratic state Rep. Becky Carney said to Republicans during a floor debate on the measure. “Why are we doing this? I would not do this to your party’s convention.”
The North Carolina Democratic Party called the resolution a political stunt.
“The fact is, the Democratic National Convention will provide a significant economic impact to Charlotte and the state,” NCDP Chairman David Parker said. “The convention and host committees have already made local hiring a top priority, as evidenced by the local firms that have already received contracts.”
The DNC convention committee also disputed a GOP accusation that it was outsourcing contracts to vendors outside North Carolina because it prefers to do business only with unionized companies.
“The Democratic National Convention Committee and the host committee have repeatedly stated that while they intend to use union labor to the extent it is available in the region, hiring local workers is a top priority,” said a statement from the North Carolina Democratic Party.

ABS (Anti Lock Brakes) has been an incredible development in braking technology as it accomplishes just that - maximum braking and no skidding. The ABS wheel speed sensor is an integral part of that ABS system in that it measure wheel speed so that the ABS computer can quickly adjust brake pressures to THAT wheel for maximum braking power. Its a true life saver, so if its faulty, replace it soon for your own safety.

Sheikh Ali Gomaa, former Grand Mufti of Egypt, said in a TV interview that "there is not a single female heart surgeon in the world" and that this was because "it requires great physical effort - beyond what a woman is capable of." Speaking on the Saudi MBC TV channel on April 7, Sheikh Gomaa also said that there is "equality, but not identity," between men and women and that joining the commando does not befit the woman's build or body.
Ali Gomaa: There is equality, but not identity, between men and women.
Interviewer: What's the difference between the two?
Interviewer: Identity means...
Ali Gomaa: The modern feminist phenomena that call for identity between men and women have led women to play soccer and practice in bodybuilding, wrestling, and weight lifting. These women develop muscles. They want to be identical in everything. It has reached the point that some women, in keeping with the law, have joined the commando - on land, in air, and at sea. This does not befit the build and body of the woman. But, no! They want to prove that it does befit women. You may have noticed that there is not a single female heart surgeon in the world.
Interviewer: Not a single female heart surgeon in the world?
Ali Gomaa: That's right.
Interviewer: That's the first time I've heard this.
Ali Gomaa: It's amazing. It's peculiar. Why do you think that there are none? Because it requires great physical effort - beyond what a woman is capable of. That's in general. Along comes a woman who challenges this, and she succeeds in becoming a surgeon. But she is one woman among several million male surgeons.

Why a 1968-D Washington quarter sold for $8,812.50
- Published: Feb 15, 2016, 5 AM
Below is the second of three segments from Steve Roach, highlighting some diverse sales the Long Beach Expo earlier this month:
Heritage’s auctions held at the Long Beach Coin, Currency, Stamp and Sports Collectibles Expo on Feb. 4 and 5, along with an online session on Feb. 7, realized $8.27 million as of Feb. 8. Two of the top lots were consigned by Texas Rangers co-owner Bob Simpson. Leading was a 1943-S Lincoln cent struck on a bronze planchet, graded About Uncirculated 58 by Professional Coin Grading Service, that brought $282,000 and Simpson’s impressive nine-piece 1856 Proof set, which sold for nearly $200,000.
1968-D Washington quarter dollar, MS-68
What made this 1968-D Washington quarter dollar graded Mint State 68 by PCGS sell for $8,812.50 on Feb. 5, when a typical PCGS MS-67 example might sell for around $50 to $75? The issue itself is not rare, having a mintage of more than 100 million coins. Yet in top grades, it is a condition rarity and collectors putting together grading service registry sets covet coins like this.
The issue has a PCGS population of 1,218 in MS-66, with 146 pieces in MS-67, five coins in MS-67+ and just six coins in MS-68. Heritage describes the eye appeal as superb, adding, “Lavender and powder-blue interiors yield to deep olive-gold, crimson, and lemon-yellow peripheral hues.”
Indeed, it is among the prettiest Washington copper-nickel clad quarter dollars around, and multiple bidders were willing to stretch to add it to their collections.

My good friend Steve Savage has his first novel out, A Bridge To The Quiet Planet. Aside from Steve being a close friend, I should add another disclaimer that I read drafts of the book and provided him with feedback, but the final result is entirely his. Still, I wouldn't be recommending it to you-all if I didn't think it was worth it.
If you have a friend who's into SF&F, and want to give them something that stands out in its own field — or, if you are yourself that friend — grab this for them.
Learn History or Become History
Sorceress Marigold and technic Scintilla made a living recovering strange artifacts and forgotten history on the world of Telvaren. On a planet of ancient magic and strange science, scarred by old wars and blessed by internet-using gods, there was a lot of past to dig up.
When they needed a change, the duo signed up to aid a vendor of rare documents, making a pilgrimage to the divine grave-world of Godsrest. With the help of a friendly local cleric, it should have been an simple journey — as long as they did their paperwork and kept quiet.
But every step of their interplanetary journey brought new dangers. Something larger and older was at work among the worlds, and the two partners were in the thick of it. They weren't pursuing history, it was pursuing them, and Marigold and Scintilla had to turn the tables . . .

Not only was Grapes of Wrath a terrific literary piece but it was an artistic .
John Steinbeck could have never predicted the success of what would probably be called his masterpiece Grapes of Wrath. Steinbeck went out to write an honest novel, and created a book that would touch many with the picture that it painted of an era of loss and pain. In his writing Steinbeck used his clear descriptions and strong voice which clearly presented the atmosphere of the time and a creative writing style in writing the book, which makes it fascinating to read.
As I was reading this novel I kept thinking about how much I viewed the way he was writing this novel as an art form. I play guitar and take my music writing very personal, thriving to create something that hits the inner most emotions yet also to do it in a fresh and creative new way. In order to do this I have to search deep inside myself and use my instinctive creativity and theoretical knowledge to create the most powerful song, and this is how I believe Steinbeck wrote Grapes of Wrath. Steinbeck obviously had to have quite a large amount of knowledge to compose such a novel, but that wasn't what made the book. It was Steinbecks innate way of wording things what made you feel the dust in the air, and the sun burning on your back, and your stomach turning in hunger. When reading this I felt as though I could truly sympathize for these people like I had truly been in their shoes. Steinbeck also used many different literary techniques to portray the whole feeling. The most evident technique he used was his used of plot and intercessory chapters. I only read the first few plot chapters, but by reading those along with the intercessory chapters preceding those I clearly saw how Steinbeck used this technique to paint a clearer picture. In the intercessory chapters Steinbeck tells specific stories which represent events going on in many peoples lives, and they give you either background information or symbolic knowledge to set up the next chapter.
