1. Identify & explain 5 symbols found in text.
Although Haroun and the sea of stories is a children’s literature, symbols which overlap as archetypes are used to make this novel contain a deeper meaning and be just as enjoyable for adults.
Weather in this story symbolizes the current feeling or emotion of the characters. Dull, gloomy days often occurred when the character is depressed: “this sudden mist positively stank of sadness and gloom” (47). This symbol is clearly evident when Haroun traveled to Moody land, “the sun would shine all night is there were enough joyful people around, and it would go on shining until the endless sunshine got on their nerves; then an irritable night would fall a night full of mutterings and discontent, in which the air felt too thick to breathe” (47).
The image of the sunset symbolizes a hope for a happy ending, where the sun sets seems to represent a paradise: “…a vista of the Valley of K with its golden fields and silver mountains…– a view spread out like a magic carpet,” (34). When you see the sunset, “no man can be sad who looks upon that sight”. (34)
The Ocean of the Streams of Story symbolizes the human brain, this is where the “streams” and “currents” of ideas flow and originate. We don’t just use our brain to store data, but we create and execute new ideas by using this compiled information: “unlike a library of books, the Ocean of the Streams of Story was much more than a storeroom of yarns. It was not dead but alive” (72)
The story water that is contained in the Ocean symbolizes inspiration and our imagination. Everybody needs inspiration, “for stories with that Extra Ingredient…even the best storytellers need the Story Waters.” (58), however if you’d like to make a great story, you would need to consume story water, or have a greater imagination.
The character Princess Batcheat’s name is the equivalent of “chit chat” or talking, and in this novel, she symbolizes the freedom of speech. Rushdie shows this by having the Chups kidnap her, or taking away the freedom of “chit-chat”. This is further shown when it was mentioned that the Cultmaster wanted to sew her lips together to stop her singing; again he shows how speech is prohibited.
2. Explain 3 references in the novel to specific political events or figures
As this novel is allegorical, Rushdie made indirect references to several historical events and figures. The purpose of Chattergy’s wall was not mentioned, however in history, walls are generally used to keep enemies out such as the Great Wall of China. Chattergy’s wall seemed to share characteristics as the Berlin Wall that was first built in Germany in 1961; it was used to separate East and West Germany. The first Berlin Wall was not very strong, and had to be rebuilt twice; Chattergy’s wall in Haroun was also easily damaged as Rashid reported: “I came to Chattergy’s Wall, the Wall of Force; and sirs, it is in bad repair. There are any holes, and movement through it is easily achieved.” (102).
The story also referred to the past religious leader and dictator of Iran, Ayatollah Khomeini. A fatwa was placed upon Rushdie’s head because his book, The Satanic Verses was against Islam, the Prophet and the Koran. Rushdie felt as if his freedom of speech was being taken away, so he used the character Khattam Shud, the Cultmaster in Haroun to represent Ayatollah: “He is the Arch-Enemy of all Stories, even of Language itself. He is the Prince of Silence and the Foe of Speech” (79). Rushdie showed his opposition to the Ayatollah by using exaggerations as it would appeal to children more: “in the old days the Cultmaster, Khattam-Shud, preached hatred only towards stories and fancies and dreams: but now he has become more severe, and opposes Speech for any reason at all.” (101).
Today in most countries, certain media elements such as nudity, violence, etc. are often censored for most of the time, good purposes. However in some countries that are run by a communist government, censorship can be at an extreme where information that may interfere with political issues is completely prohibited. An example is the June 9th, 1985 student demonstration at Tian An Men square in China. The government attempted to stop the media from exposing this event to the public; they also attempted to wipe out any written records of this afterwards. This is similar to how certain Chupwalas in Haroun stitched their mouths, or vowed to remain silent under the orders of Khattam Shud who tried to stop the relay of information in his “kingdom” so to speak.
3. Detail 3 instances in the text where the power of story is alluded to. Explain
The power of story is often referred to in this novel. For example, on page 72, “the stories were held here in fluid form, they retained the ability to change, to become new versions of themselves, to join up with other stories and so become yet other stories…It was not dead but alive.” This means that there are many variations to one idea or one story. Old tales combined with imagination can be made into new pieces of work. “no story comes from nowhere; new stories are born from old–it is the new combinations that make them new.”(86) There is an endless possibility and no limitations on what the story is about because new ones can always be made.
Whether it’s the adventure or the escape from reality that stories provide, or that fact that it takes your mind away from tension, some people, and personally I believe that stories have the ability to relieve stress. The power of story is implied in Haroun: “you can offer [Story Water] to a young fellow who’s feeling blue, so that the magic of the story can restore his spirits.” (72) Rushdie mentions how stories can lift people’s moods by maybe teaching morals or provide inspiration.
The Cultmaster said: “inside ever single story, inside every Stream in the Ocean, there lies a world, a story-world, that I cannot Rule at all.”(161). The power of story is clearly evident here because even the powerful evil ruler of the Chupwalas cannot control the story-world simply because everyone’s story-world is different and unique because everyone’s imagination and perception varies. A story can have a thousand “faces” as a result of who reads it.
5. Haroun can be viewed as biographical. Explain with 3 textual examples
Rushdie experienced writers’ block after writing the novel The Satanic Verses which is similar to how Rashid lost his ability to tell stories at the beginning. Haroun’s 11 minutes of concentration can also be compared to Rushdie’s writers’ block. Both Haroun and Rashid overcame this obstacle at the end; Rashid re-subscribed to story-water therefore his inspiration returned, while Haroun broke through the 11 minutes while he was trying to save the Ocean.
Rushdie had attempted to do promote and show the importance of freedom of speech in The Satanic Verses but was condemned for doing so. This novel was a second attempt to show readers, especially to young readers the importance of free speech, “what is the point of giving persons Freedom of Speech, if you then say they must not utilize same? And is not the Power of Speech the greatest Power of all? Then surely it must be exercise to the full?” (119).
In Haroun, Rushdie incorporated his persona in various characters. In Prince Bolo, Rushdie explained why he had to go into hiding by showing his need and desire to escape the fatwa that was threatening him, and then deal with the larger issue, censorship afterwards. When faced with the decision, Bolo first exclaims “To war, to war! For Batcheat, only Batcheat!” (105) and then later adds “Yes, yes…The Ocean also; naturally, ofcourse, very well” (105): his first thoughts are for himself and his own situation; he’d rather save his future first and then think about the Ocean, the larger issue.
6. Identify & explain 2 archetypes in the novel. Relate them either to the bible, mythology, or classical literature
An archetype is a model where other similar things are patterned or repeated. For example, in Aladdin, the genie acts as a guide that helps Aladdin make decisions; there are many other examples in fairy tales and mythology as well. Similarly, Iff the Water Genie, and Butt which takes on the appearance of Hoopoe, a bird acts as guides or “sidekicks” for Haroun; “in the old stories the Hoopoe is the bird that leads all other birds through many dangerous places to their ultimate goal” (64). The Water Genie often gives Haroun advice as well: “Hold your horses, cool down, don’t blow your top, keep your hair on…” (68) and “Wait on, patience is a virtue, where’s the fire?” these comments are said so that Haroun maintains his rationality and calmness.
Another archetypal character is the guilt ridden figure in search of forgiveness; in this case it is Haroun. He had said something to Rashid that he wishes he could take back. “My fault again, I started all this off, what’s the use of stories that aren’t even true. I asked that question and it broke my fathers heart. So it’s up to me to put things right. Something has to be done.” (27). However, since he cannot, he decides to take matters onto his own hands and search for his father’s inspiration. This guilt increases as events unfold, “if we crash now, if we’re smashed into bits or fried like potato chips in a burning wreck, it will be my fault this time, too.” (37), this caused Haroun to be even more determined to find the Walrus.
7. Haroun can be categorized as genre: Fantasy. Using 5 CONVENTIONS of fantasy, prove the validity of the aforementioned statement
The genre fantasy has distinct characteristics including, a quest, the use of magic or supernatural powers, a clear sense of good verses evil, common characters (i.e. Damsel in distress, the villain, the hero, the guide), and the evocation in another world. The quest in Haroun is the journey to seek the Walrus and return Rashid’s inspiration for storytelling. The use of supernatural powers is evident in the characters Iff and Butt as well as others in the story. Iff was the Water Genie who delivers story-water using a “Process too complicated to explain”, and Butt could communicate with others using his telekinetic powers. Good verses evil is shown as author uses contrasting descriptive language to illustrate the Gups and Chups: “The Land of Gup is bathed in Endless Sunshine, while over in Chip it’s always the middle of the night” (80) other comparisons between the two lands include: warm vs. cold, talkative vs. silence, etc.
The meaning of common characters is that in a fantasy tale, there are often archetypes which follow a certain similar pattern. Most “typical” fantasies have a damsel in distress in which the hero, guided by their “sidekicks” generally tries to save from the villain. The suggestion of another world is also a sign that Haroun is a fantasy novel. Many things in this world seem rather hard-to-believe and impossible to be real, and it seems like it’s more of a dream; however, it is supposed to be a world that matches ours so that it allows us to see our world more clearly. It is evident in Haroun because it is actually Rushdie’s sole purpose in writing the novel – to show people the right of free speech, and the many corruptions that exists within the society.
4. / 8. Explain 2 allusions found in the novel. Discuss how they added to the meaning of the story.
Censorship has been around for a very long time, and Rushdie has made this a recurrent theme in this novel. As mentioned, the Cultmaster represents the Ayatollah where he tries to kill him for writing The Satanic Verses. The novel also shows his frustration and anger in the character of Haroun, “So we’re prisoners already…Some hero I turned out to be” (142). This seems to reflect a similar frustration as Rushdie seems to be such a small force in the large struggle against censorship.
An allusion is also made as he shows how silly he thinks battle or wars -not only in the story, but in real life as well, are by making fun of the uniforms that the Guppees and the Chapwalas are in. “Really, this is beginning to look like a war between buffoons,”(179). There are so many instances in history where neither sides of the battle know what they’re truly fighting for; they are just taking orders from their leaders: “neither army will even be able to see properly during the fight” (180), Rushdie seems to imply that both armies are blindly fighting each other and it’s almost like a joke to him as he makes many puns and witty remarks about this battle.
The author often refers to the stories of 1001 Arabian Nights. For example, some titles of the Pages’ uniforms include titles from Arabian Nights – “Bolo and the wonderful Lamp”, “Bolo and the Forty thieves” etc. The Water Genie also seems to follow some ideas from Arabian Nights because genies often exist in those stories. The significance is here, 1001 means “infinity” in Arabic so when Haroun “looked into the water and saw that it was made up of a thousand thousand thousand and one different currents…” (72) It shows that there are more than 1001 different currents meaning there are more than an infinite number of different stories in the Ocean simply because there is no limit to the creation of stories. New stories of different variations can always be made from old stories – this is the power of story.
The army of “Pages” can be compared to the “army” of cards under the control of Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland. Haroun returns from his adventure, and to his surprise it all happened in a dream. This is similar to Alice where she awakes at the end of the book and finds out that her adventures in wonderland have also taken place in a dream. This adds meaning to the story because Rushdie can create a magnificent make-belief world for the enjoyment of children, and explains to his son the reason for his departure; while at the same time blur certain political messages using allegories that add a deeper meaning of which are directed to older readers.

Brent Parsons, Richard Ivry; Perceptual Consequences of Delaying the Post-saccadic Target. Journal of Vision 2014;14(10):1228. doi: https://doi.org/10.1167/14.10.1228.

Studies of saccadic adaptation have predominately focused on manipulations in the spatial dimension. Shifting the location of the saccade target midflight leads to changes in the motor command (e.g. saccade amplitude) and affects subsequent perceptual judgments (e.g. localization). Significant gain reduction has been reported even when the shifted target is presented at post-saccade delays of up to 400ms (Shafer, Noto, & Fuchs 2000). Recent experiments manipulating only the temporal dimension, the delay between saccade landing and target presentation, have shown changes in peak velocity of the saccade (Shadmehr et al. 2010). The current study investigates the perceptual consequences of this delayed sensory input. Subjects were asked to judge the duration of a stimulus presented at different delays after saccade landing. The closer in time to the completion of the eye movement the longer the percieved duration of the target stimulus. Our results seem at odds with a previous explanation of temporal distortions around saccades (Yarrow, Haggard, & Rothwell 2010) and are in line with a more general account of how humans adapt to delayed sensory input following voluntary action (Parsons, Novich, & Eagleman 2013).

SOMETIMES THERE IS A VOID: Memoirs of an Outsider
Having spent copious time with my mother, in my village, and having survived the chaos of Nigerian life (oil subsidy removal and all other idiocies), I'm happy be back to my workplace in the West. I loved being with my people; I didn't like the pain and misery they still go through. Well, I'm happy to report on some of the intellectual things going on in the African world. Here is a review of Zakes Mda's memoir, "SOMETIMES THERE IS A VOID: Memoirs of an Outsider," by Rob Nixon:
"The lesson he learns has ramifications that carry well beyond his personal story: how easy it is for a successful, mid-career artist to lapse into the role of professional opinion maker and cosmopolitan partygoer. In the end, Mda resists the fatal temptations of the limelight. Tiring of the deadening dishonesties that pollute official discourse among A.N.C. apparatchiks, he realizes that creativity and probity are less in demand than sycophancy. And so he trades hectic Johannesburg for American academia, where he can better sustain the anonymity and inventive autonomy that feed his talent."

There’s 10M doses available right now of 2 different vaccines, they just need to have the data to get an EUA. I think Pfizer will definitely go for one by the end of Nov, and Moderna before the first of the year. AstraZeneca will probably get one in the U.K. by the end of the year, not sure how quick they will here.
Ten million doses would cover 3 percent of the US population and a fraction of a percent of world population. And an EUA does not make it available to you and me. Well, maybe me because I’m a provider. What you’ve said does not make Dr. Redfield wrong at all. It will be April or later before there is widespread approval and enough doses to treat significant numbers of people. And that assumes that people will actually take the darn things. Antivaxxers and anti-science people have convinced enough people to stay away.
I never said it would be available for you or me, although I’ve already received one. It would be for frontline workers, and they’re making 100M/month.
Were you part of the test of 30K? How do you feel? Would appreciate your personal insight.
I would take it tomorrow if I could.
My wife had the Moderna vaccine, unfortunately I was delayed twice then they “filled their quota of me”. Which stinks since I volunteered the very first day they announced the trial, but anyway…
with the first shot, she felt nothing. with the second shot, she had about 16 hours of mild chills and muscle aches, like a mild flu. was fine the next day. so this makes me hopeful that she had the vaccine and not placebo. That was about a month ago, and nothing since. she reports body temp and symptoms daily for the first week after the shot, then weekly or so after that.
I’m really hopeful that I get a vaccine in November, Moderna and Pfizer both met with the FDA last week.
I had 3 more patients die of Covid last week, all 3 were 80’s, very frail nursing home patients with severe dementia, 2 were nearly catatonic at baseline, one was only eating periodically prior to COVID.
Still, it is getting old on our poor nurses having to deal with this much death. Fortunately, essentially all of our deaths these days are like this. current therapies have essentially eliminated the healthy 60 year old deaths.
And Jeff is working on even newer stuff…we’ll beat this dang virus.
Pretty much my story on the vaccinations, the only “symptoms” were after the second shot, and they were mild. I took some Tylenol and felt better within 24 hours, fever got to 99.7, which is about as high as I ever get.
I’m sort of hoping for this so that I can get to the vaccine sooner.
Thanks for posting this. This is generally not reported anywhere.
I have a question, but you may not be in a position to know since you are getting your info first hand at the hospital? Since deaths from Covid seem to be increasing, how many are from older people (50-80) who contract the virus but, for whatever reasons, do not, or cannot, get to hospitals in time to receive the new therapies? And, further, can these therapies be obtained and administered at small clinics for those who are in remote rural areas? Could those therapies maybe have prevented later deaths, if administered immediately at first sign of possible infection? If so, it seems that many deaths could be eliminated by providing training and these medications to clinics, Drs offices etc.
A 50 yr old healthy & active friend without pre-existing conditions contracted COVID that evolved in pneumonia & a torn heart valve. He needed open heart surgery to repair the valve that saved his life. Fortunately, he was in Houston with many heart specialists since he would not have survived at a remote “dock in the box” clinic.
According to the local heart surgeons, heart damage is a frequent symptom of COVID, usually requiring surgery. Each case has a different path & attacks different organs in individuals, healthy or otherwise.
Pretty sure they do heart surgery in most every hospital. Was this an emergency surgery? I’m glad he got the care he needed, but they do it every day now.
The surgery was scheduled after the pneumonia had cleared. Would definitely not trust a small local hospital to perform major open heart surgery, especially if that is not their area of expertise, which for most it is not.
Well of course not, I guess you’d consider SBRMC in Jonesboro, AR a small hospital, but I’d trust the surgeons there as well as I would most places. So, he could have been transferred to a larger hospital for the surgery?
Have never been to Jonesboro, so I would not know. If in AR & had a choice, would choose hospitals in LR or NWA. In Houston & here in DFW there are good & bad hospitals, but at least one usually has options.
I guess it would depend on the intricacies of the surgery, open heart, no problem in Jonesboro, heart transplant, I’d probably go to LR or Memphis.
Most come to Houston Med Ctr. from all over the world for cardio, cancer, etc so friend was fortunate to live near there. Unfortunately he is a longhorn. Checked out to NWA since plan to move there, & they seem to have good medical care.
My mother had heart valve replacement done at SBRMC in the late 80’s, lived until 2019 and the age of 93, great medical care is everywhere. I have houses in both Fayetteville and Jonesboro, I’d pick either one of them. There would be certain cases of cancer I’d go the Houston, but it would be on the recommendation of my physician. Just glad we live in a country where we have so many options. And to get back on topic, looking forward to watching the hoop Hogs the winter.
Good medical care is readily available throughout but too expensive. For cancer & specialty needs, Mayo is light years ahead of the rest. My grandmother retired from Sparks Hospital in Ft Smith in her mid-90s with her longevity in part due to the quality of the medical there.
Also look forward to Musselman basketball this year but definitely enjoying CSP style of football - long overdue for this recovery. Believe UofA could soon regain top 10 status soon in all 3 major sports. Wish fans could attend the games.
Those of us who have been going have actually made a good bit of noise. There have been more people in the stadium in the 4th quarter this year than in the previous 3 years. 16 thousand people can actually make a pretty good bit of noise when properly motivated😀
Speaking of noise, when Grant Morgan was rolling into the end zone with his pick six, the stadium was loud. I looked down from the press box and most people I saw were hugging the person next to them while at the same time jumping up and down. The jumping up and down on those metal stands do make a loud rumble. It was a sweet sound.

11-year-old singer Miguel Antonio the next big thing?
At the age of just 11, young Miguel Antonio has been hailed as the next big thing in music.
Despite his tender age, the young Filipino is no stranger to the stage, having already performed during the "David Foster and Friends Concert" in Singapore in 2011, when he was accompanied by the famed songwriter David Foster himself on the piano. He has also performed at various charity shows and events like "Fashion with a Heart" by Singapore Pools Charity, Hope Foundation 2011, MILK event, and Chingay 2012.
And now, the young ingénue has released his first four-song EP "What Is Christmas To You". Yahoo! Singapore catches up with the young singer over the phone to find out what makes him tick.
When he's not busy wolfing down home-cooked dishes loving prepared by his mum, 11-year-old Miguel Antonio is busy belting out songs in the shower, in the car, or pretty much anywhere he can practice.
Those who've heard him sing says he's blessed with the "voice of an angel". But lest you call him another Asian Justin Bieber wanna-be, his musical influences and idols gravitate more towards "old school" musicians such as Elvis Presley, Andrea Bocelli, Journey and The Beatles.
"I like how (those singers) put meaning into their music; there is a lot of feeling and soul when you listen to their songs," he told Yahoo! Singapore during a recent phone interview.
"I am not a fan of Justin Bieber, his lyrics are different from the oldies. My mum and dad influenced me to listen to oldies since a young age and I loved them since then," said the Qifa Primary School student, who moved to Singapore with his family in 2007.
His biggest idol? Michael Jackson
But his biggest idol is none other than the late King of Pop, Michael Jackson.
"I want to be like Michael Jackson when I am older. I would work hard, keep practising and continue to sing in future. My favourite song is "Man In The Mirror" as well as songs from his younger days like "I Want You Back", "Who's Loving You" and "I'll Be There", he said.
Antonio has included Michael Jackson's song "Give Love on Christmas Day" that was recorded by the Jackson 5 in his Christmas EP and rearranged it with a lighthearted jazz feel, yet preserves the nostalgia to the festive classic.
John JR Robinson, the Grammy Award winner who's worked on several of Michael Jackson's albums, laid the drum tracks of Miguel 's latest EP. And according to Robinson, Miguel "reminds (him) of Michael Jackson".
If working with Robinson came as a surprise, Antonio also engaged one of the most respected and sought-after singing teachers, Amanda Colliver, to beef up his vocal chops. Colliver trained thespian Hugh Jackman for his role in "Beauty and The Beast" and Nicole Kidman for her role in the Academy-Award winning film, "Moulin Rouge".
"I started training with Amanda earlier this year and we are even neighbours so it is so convenient for me every time we have lessons; I just have to walk over to her house," joked the gifted singer who sings different genres of music like, pop, rock and soul.
First full album in 2013
And what about school? At the tender age of 11, when children are more worried about getting good grades or playing sports, Antonio says he balances his time well and finishes his homework before he practices singing and learning the piano.
"I started picking up learning the piano just this year and I am learning how to play on my own, usually with the help of YouTube videos," said Antonio, who we're told by his mum began humming songs before he could even talk.
The eldest son of four children is also set on getting his first full album out by December 2013.
"My album is going to have all pop tracks and I will be writing my own songs. In fact, I have already written three songs but there are still some improvements to be made," said Antonio.
Spoken like a true pro.
Antonio will be performing on 12 December at Timbre @ The Substation, where he will sing songs from his Christmas EP as well as covers of songs like Bon Jovi's "Living On A Prayer" and Journey's "Faithfully".

Holy shit, was that fast. It was just a little more than a year and a half ago that Steve Chen and Chad Hurley created YouTube so they could share videos more easily with their friends. (The first video hosted on the site was of Chen’s cat, Pajamas, clawing at a string.) Now, thanks to Google’s recent purchase of their creation for $1.65 billion, Chen and Hurley can spend the rest of their days taking oyster-and-Cristal baths, and YouTube is—well, depending on whom you talk to, it’s a lot of things: a visionary business concept that will revolutionize entertainment, the world’s largest forum for unmediated individual expression, or the hugest copyright infringer in the history of mankind. To compile the following time line of YouTube’s journey from Pajamas to world domination, GQ spoke with more than twenty-five people, including Chen and Hurley (who, perhaps in anticipation of the deal that had yet to go down, couldn’t have been more tight-lipped), as well as those who think the pair are thieves, those who are dying to do business with them, and those who are using the site in ways its creators never imagined and the corporate media can’t wholly grasp.
October 20, 2005
December 17, 2005
"Lazy Sunday," the music video featuring Chris Parnell and Andy Samberg rapping about cupcakes and chronic, airs on Saturday Night Live. Within hours, the video appears on YouTube. Observing a huge spike in viewership, Hurley asks NBC if the network itself has uploaded the clip. NBC says they don’t know; they’ll get back to him. Andy Samberg: "Those first few days, we were all walking around with our jaws dropped. Everyone we knew kept e-mailing us and calling us. It was a huge turning point in our careers. I’d maybe done two interviews before that, and almost every interview I’ve done since has been because of it. Only die-hard people used to recognize me—’Hey, you’re the new guy!’ Now I walk down the street and someone will just yell ’Lazy Sunday’! at me."

IHK remains under curfew as death toll reaches 30
SRINAGAR (92 News) – Life in Indian-held Kashmir (IHK) continues to remain paralyzed following heightened tension over the death of 30 people, including a policeman, during widespread protests across the Valley against the killing of Hurriyet leader Burhan Wani.
Clashes continue in many parts of Indian-held Kashmir as young men defy prohibitory orders and protest on the streets, often indulging in stone-pelting.
Police stations, offices and dozens of vehicles were destroyed during the protests. A total of 102 civilians and 100 security personnel were injured in the bloody clashes.
It is feared if things are not quickly brought under control, Kashmir could be in the throws of another bloody unrest when in 2010, 112 protesters died in clashes with security forces.
Kashmiri leaders, including Syed Ali Geelani and Mirwaiz Umer Farooq, have been placed under detention. The state government on Sunday requested them to help normalise the situation.
Previously, Clashes broke out between locals and security forces as news of Wani’s death on Friday spread, with 12 people dying in the violence on Saturday.
Five people died on Sunday during fresh clashes or sustained injuries, while curfew has been imposed in the entire Valley by the Indian authorities. Shops, banks and other offices were closed in Srinagar, as Indian troops patrolled the streets outside.
Police said they halted traffic on the main highway connecting the state to the rest of India and officials said train services had been temporarily halted in the area. Mobile Internet services were blocked across some parts of the state and cell phone service was interrupted in others.
Wani, the son of a school headmaster, regularly posted video messages online, dressed in military fatigues and inviting young men to join struggle for freedom. Hurriyat leaders have called for a strike and three days of mourning.

Those who want school districts to privatize support services tend to bring up “saving taxpayers money” as a reason to privatize. From what I can tell, at least three of the districts that have privatized services in Monroe County are using a company from Ohio. I invite the leadership from any of these schools to explain to me why they are sending taxpayer money to Ohio. I will post any well-written response.

PREP TIME: 15 minutes + 1 hour to marinate
COOKING TIME: 25 minutes
MAKES 4 servings
If you are a liver lover, you are going to really like this dish, and if you’re not, give it a try anyway; this recipe may convert you! Liver is a fantastic source of nutrients and pairs beautifully with earthy morel mushrooms—or you can substitute any other mushroom of your choice for similar results. For a complete meal, serve with your favorite low-carb vegetables or a salad.
4 (4-oz/110-g) calves’ liver steaks
1 cup (240 ml) full-fat buttermilk
4 tablespoons (60 ml) olive oil, divided
6 slices bacon, finely chopped
5 cloves garlic, minced
4 ounces (110 g) morel mushrooms or other mushrooms of your choice
1 cup (240 ml) all-natural salted chicken stock
1 stick (½ cup/110 g) cold unsalted butter, cubed
Fine sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley, or a handful of pea shoots, for garnish
- Place the liver in a mixing bowl and add the buttermilk. Stir well and let marinate for 1 hour (this improves the flavor of the liver).
- Heat a large frying pan over medium heat, then pour 2 tablespoons of the oil into the pan. When the oil is hot, add the bacon and sauté for 5 to 8 minutes, until golden brown. Add the garlic and morels and cook for 3 to 5 minutes more, until the mushrooms are tender.
- Add the chicken stock and bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to a steady simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, until the liquid has reduced by two-thirds.
- Reduce the heat to low and whisk in the cold butter until emulsified. You should have a smooth, buttery sauce. Slide the pan off the heat and move to the back of the stove to keep warm.
- Remove the liver from the buttermilk and pat dry with a paper towel. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan over high heat. Season the liver steaks well with salt and pepper, then pan fry for about 2 minutes on each side; the liver should still be slightly pink in the middle (be careful not to overcook it since it can become dry, chewy, and grainy).
- To serve family style, cut the steaks crosswise into ½-inch (1.25-cm) strips and place on a platter, then spoon the morel-butter sauce over the top and garnish with chopped parsley. Or divide the liver steaks among four serving plates, spoon the morel-butter sauce over the steaks, and garnish with chopped parsley. Store any leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

text: I'm back to paper again this morning. It always circles around like that for me. A little of this and a little of that but then back to paper. The two constants in my life, gardening and papercrafting. I was thinking about this old layout last night. How much I enjoyed using my rectangle punch on my not so great photos. The punched pieces are like little windows into the garden. The side effect is that less than perfect pictures look much better this way. Just punch out the best part. Sort of a metaphor for life ~ remember the best parts and don't dwell on the worst... The layout is one half of a two pager that was published in the Winter 2002 issue of Scrapbooks, etc. magazine by Better Homes & Gardens. Even tho it's dated, it's another one that still appeals to me six years later. I can't say that about all my work. and oh how I wish I still had that shooting star!!!

A Brief Overview of Popular Casino Games
There are currently around Eighty-two million people who regularly play casino games in the usa. Individuals can choose from many different casino games to entertain themselves and friends. You can find three main categories of casino games: gambling games, card games, and table games. Each category requires its set of rules and specific mechanisms to be played.
Gambling games were created for providing fun and excitement through chance and luck. Popular casino games that fall into this category include blackjack, baccarat, slots, roulette, video poker, craps, instant lotto, poker, roulette, and jackpot games. Casino game table games include card tables, casino table games such as slots and roulette, along with 솔레어카지노 토토 other table games such as jokers and card games. Cards include poker, craps, and baccarat.
Slots, generally known as “rollers,” are mechanical devices offering the illusion of randomness in casino games and cards. They work in quite similar way as slots machines within land-based casinos. The advantage of using slots is that the home edge on most spins is low, making it profitable for casinos to use them. However, the disadvantage of using slots is that they are difficult to beat, even with a large bankroll. Furthermore, it is often difficult to learn whether a machine is “full” or “bust out” prior to the game begins, resulting in casino games that are less fun to play.

Public Rights of Way are routes over which the public have a legal right to pass and re-pass at any time of the day and night and are protected by highway law and legislation.
Rights of Way Improvement Plan
The Rights of Way Improvement Plans (ROWIP) 1 and 2 provides the focus and priorities to deliver improvements to the local rights of way network. To view the ROWIP’s please use the links below to download the relevant document.
The Nottingham Local Access Forum
The Forum was set up in 2004 as part of the Countryside and Rights of Way (CROW) Act 2000 and advise the Council and other statutory bodies on public rights of way and public access to and through Nottingham, comment on planning applications and local and national policy.
- Click here to find More information on the Local Access Forum

- Rights of Way & Highways Developer Leaflet
- Nottingham City Council Barrier Full Policy
- Nottingham City Council Barrier Policy Executive Summary
Once legally created a public right of way lasts forever unless it is formally stopped up (permanently closed) or diverted (onto a new alignment) by an Act of Parliament, Instrument, or other legal event. Please see the section below on "Legal changes to the public rights of way network".
A highway or public right of way may only be stopped up (permanently closed) or diverted (onto a new alignment) for specific reasons. For example, it may be appropriate to stop up / divert a public right of way if it’s not needed by the public. Or it may be necessary to stop up or divert a public right of way to enable a new housing development to be carried out.
Planning permission is not permission to build on a highway or other public right of way. This is a separate legal process and failure to obtain the correct consents before starting work can lead to additional costs, delays and enforcement action being taken.
If you wish to divert or stop up a highway or other public right of way, you will need to apply for a legal order. You may also need other consents such as a temporary Traffic Regulation Order. Please see the “Developers Guidance” above.
So that walkers, riders, local residents and landowners know which paths or ways are public rights of way, Councils have a duty to record those rights on statutory maps and statements, known as the Definitive Map and Statement. All known public footpaths, bridleways and byways should, by law, be recorded.
The Councils Technical Services team is responsible for Nottingham’s Definitive Map and Statement. All public rights of way recorded on the Definitive Map and Statement can be viewed online here Street Register, by appointment by telephoning 0115 876 5246 or by email firstname.lastname@example.org
Anyone may make an application for a Definitive Map Modification Order (DMMO) to modify the Definitive Map and Statement.
For further information on the application process please see the Explanatory Note.
To view all applications for DMMO's please visit the register of DMMO applications.
If you wish to make an application please use the forms and guidance notes below. If you wish to discuss the application process or you require an ordnance survey map of the relevant area to use for the application and / or user evidence form(s) please use the Contact Us details above

Under Section 31(6) of the Highways Act 1980 a landowner may deposit a statutory declaration with the highway authority. The declaration enables landowners to formally acknowledge any public rights of way dedicated across their land and that they have no intention of dedicating any further public rights of way.

Enjoy an exclusive full album stream of Live at Mir!
Sysselmann released his first album, The Northern Chronicles in October of 2016. Tipi Token Records had the foresight to recruit this promising new dark ambient project to their also new label. The physical copy quickly sold out. A beautiful piece of art in itself, using a “vinyl effect” CD, with inner & outer sleeves which also helped build this vinyl effect. That CD was re-issued in August 2018, and there are copies still available. I highly recommend the release. You can read my review of The Northern Chronicles here.
Now, Sysselmann and Tipi Token are back with Live at Mir, a live recording from Mir Café in Oslo, Norway on October 7, 2017. Being in the USA, I rarely (basically never) get to see any live dark ambient performances. I was unaware of this recorded event, but the following month Sysselmann took the stage at Blåsvart Aften in Trondheim, Norway, along with dark ambient giants Svartsinn, TeHÔM, New Risen Throne, and one other lesser known act, Tutfarangi. I would say these two events were quite helpful in getting the name Sysselmann around the Scandinavian region. Any dark ambient musician I’ve spoken to about Sysselmann has had nothing but positive words.
Live recordings can be a real gamble to release. If you aren’t Metallica or some huge rock band, drowning in profits, you are not likely to have the best resources available for recording and reproducing a live set. But, as with the recent Live Assault by TeHÔM, Sysselmann and his associates have managed to craft a live album which is well worth the listeners’ time. The recordings are clear and there is very little background noise to be discerned. The acoustic elements seem to stand out a bit more in the mix on this live set than they did on The Northern Chronicles. This is particularly great for a live performance, as listeners tend to be less inclined to stand in front of a musician who, to them, may seem to be doing very little. The added or accentuated acoustic instruments always provide a needed extra layer to dark ambient live performances, giving the crowd something to see as well as hear.
With only one full length album released prior to Live at Mir, I wondered (upon first hearing about this release) exactly what Tipi Token and Sysselmann would see fit to include. I can happily say that it isn’t just a reproduction of The Northern Chronicles. Though just over half the tracks on Live at Mir were featured on the previous album, there are also three new tracks: “Sacred Calling”, “Koncovka flute improv” and “Primal Spirit outro”. These three tracks account for twenty minutes of previously unreleased music, and I’ve found them all quite enjoyable. While “Sacred Calling” falls in line with the tracks from The Northern Chronicles, “Koncovka flute improv” and “Primal Spirit outro” incorporate significantly less electronic elements and seem to rely almost entirely on live acoustic elements.
Live at Mir will be released October 31 as a digital album on Bandcamp. There will also be a limited edition cassette version made available at the same time. While I haven’t seen this cassette myself, it is described as a “pro duplicated cassette in a very limited run to celebrate this release”. So if you are interested in a copy, I recommend keeping an eye out for it on release day. I would highly recommend this album to fans of Sysselmann‘s previous work, and also to those dedicated followers of the Scandinavian branch of the dark ambient scene. Sysselmann exhibits many of those same qualities that make this region so well known in the post-industrial world.

DOD center will monitor mental health services
Mideast edition, Thursday, September 27, 2007
ARLINGTON, Va. — The Defense Department plans to open a Center of Excellence to improve the quality of and access to the department’s mental health services.
The move comes in response to a June report by a mental health task force that found the Defense Department was failing to meet troops’ mental health care needs.
The report included 95 recommendations for addressing the reported shortcomings, including hiring more mental health providers.
In response, the department recently gave Congress its plan for implementing all but one of the task force’s recommendations.
One major feature of the Defense Department’s plan calls for creating the Center of Excellence by May. The center would be tasked with developing standards of care, monitoring traumatic brain injuries and measuring how satisfied troops are with mental health care services.
“While focused on research, education and training, and clinical care, the Center of Excellence will also house an information clearinghouse and ombudsman that will serve an advocacy function for servicemembers and family members who have questions, concerns, or need assistance in navigating the system of care,” the plan says.
The plan also says the Defense Department is looking into whether it needs to hire more mental health care providers, but it did not get into specific numbers.
The plan calls for adding 200 professionals from the Public Health Service to military facilities to make it easier for troops to have access to mental health care.
These military mental health professionals will go to U.S. bases worldwide, Defense Department spokeswoman Cynthia Smith said.
Other aspects of the plan include:
Embedding mental health professionals with line units.
Putting more mental health providers into primary care clinics.
Limiting the waiting time for initial mental health visits to seven days.
Looking into new incentives to recruit and retain mental health providers.
The Defense Department’s plan to implement most of the mental health task force’s recommendations drew praise from two prominent Democratic lawmakers who requested the mental health task force study — Sens. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., and Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.
“We have a responsibility to ensure that our troops are both physically and psychologically healthy and the Department’s decision to implement the recommendations of the Mental Health Task Force is a first step in fulfilling that responsibility,” Lieberman said in a statement.
Boxer called the plan “an urgently needed step forward.”
“By embracing the recommendations made by the Mental Health Task Force, the Pentagon is recognizing and accepting the importance of ensuring our Armed Forces are not just physically healthy, but also in good psychological health,” Boxer said in a statement. “Implementing these recommendations will save lives and help those suffering from mental illness.”

We’ve got an update on a new theme park that’s in the works!
There are a few new theme parks in progress around the U.S., including Universal’s Epic Universe and another new experience in Texas. But Universal isn’t the only one getting in on the action. Several months ago, we learned about American Heartland, a $2 billion theme park and resort project located in northeast Oklahoma that’s being created by former Disney Imagineers. And now we’ve got a new update on the project’s expected timeline!
According to initial renderings, the resort will span 1,000 acres, including a 125-acre theme park roughly the size of Disney World’s Magic Kingdom, a water park, a large RV park with cabins, a dinner theatre, an amphitheater, a swimming pool, a clubhouse, and more.
The park’s development team includes over a dozen former Disney employees with experience in special effects, technical design, entertainment, and more.
The theme park will feature six lands themed to Americana: Liberty Village, Great Plains, Bayou Bay, Bit Timber Falls, Stony Point Harbor, and Electropolis.
It was previously announced that the new park would open sometime in 2026, but now we have a more specific timeline for the project. American Heartland theme park is currently slated to open in the fall of 2026.
Construction is happening in stages and the Three Ponies RV and Campground, which will consist of an estimated 750 RV spaces and 300 cabins, is expected to be completed sooner. The RV park and cabins are scheduled to open in the spring of 2025 as part of the first phase.
Once construction is complete, the theme park’s team estimates it will attract more than two million out-of-state visitors to Oklahoma each year.
We’ll continue to be on the lookout for more updates on the construction progress and other new details about the theme park, so stay tuned to DFB for the latest news!
Do you plan to visit this new theme park once it’s completed? Share your thoughts in the comments!

When the worlds of creativity and problem-solving intersect, you sometimes get beautifully practical results. That’s why we asked eight creative teams to present solutions to eight city problems—from how we move across the city to finding out where our food comes from—proposed by a group of Los Angeles urban leaders. The goal is two-fold: to show creatives as large-scale problem solvers that should be tapped by local government, and to demonstrate that some of the best civic ideas can come from outside City Hall.
The solutions that follow will be presented at a public event on April 8, 2011, as the latest program in an event series we launched in 2008 as GOOD Design. Similar events have been held in L.A., New York, San Francisco, at CEOs for Cities’ national conference, and in partnership with Art Center College of Design and Ringling College of Art and Design. A program with Academy of Art University launched this spring.

Many people all over the world, both adults and children, struggle with regulating difficult emotions such as sadness, anger, disappointment, inadequacy, and fear. When faced with these emotions many people engage in one or more of the following behaviors:
- yelling/screaming/using angry words towards others
- neglecting one’s own care and needs
- trying to harm oneself or others (physically, emotionally, etc.)
- destroying property, materials, etc.
- shutting down/not talking/withdrawing from social situations
- refusing to participate in a task or activity
- leaving a required task or activity without permission
- neglecting responsibilities
- using substances to cope with emotions
- engaging in risky behaviors to distract from difficult emotions
- making impulsive decisions in an attempt to feel better immediately
- having trouble making healthy decisions (it can be difficult to think clearly while struggling with painful emotions)
As many of us know, the behaviors listed above are not effective ways to regulate our emotions and don’t lead to positive changes in our general mood or outlook over time.
Mindfulness helps us learn meaningful and effective ways to cope with our emotions.
Current research indicates that mindfulness activities, which encourage us to use our thoughts and senses to be attentive and focused in the present moment, can lead to many positive changes in the way one experiences and reacts to painful emotions.
With mindfulness as a part of an individual’s daily routine, they can benefit in a variety of ways leading to improved confidence, decision making, understanding of one’s emotions, self-control, and emotional regulation.
13 Mindfulness Activities to Improve Emotional Regulation in Children (and adults)
1. Go outside and notice what you see, hear, smell, and feel.
Do you see a tree, hear a car engine, smell a flower, or feel the ground on your feet?
Is there something you are grateful for outside? The sun, a flower, your front porch, a toy, windchimes? What is it?
What if you don’t have a chance to get outside? If you cannot get outside, you can practice this same technique in any area of your house. You can open a window to feel connected to nature as well.
or look for a favorite item or person to be thankful for.
2. Take deep breaths and use your senses to focus on how it feels.
Step 1: Fill your belly up with air like a balloon. Use your senses to feel the air going in and filling up your belly.
Step 2: When your belly is full, count to two.
Step 3: Use your senses to feel and hear the air as you blow it out. You can do this a few times in a row.
Bubbles or flowers (or similar items), are optional, and can help you stay focused on this activity.
If you get any thoughts you don’t like, focus on how your breathing feels when you fill your belly up like a balloon. Think about how your body feels when you count to two, and notice what it feels like to release the air.
3. Push into a wall, floor or other object that you cannot actually move.
You can push with your feet, hands, back, bottom, etc. Feel the tension build up for 30 to 60 seconds and release. Repeat as desired. This is a great activity for mental health and body strengthening.
4. Hang and stretch using pull-up bars and resistance bands.
Hold each move for 10 to 60 seconds. Notice how it feels to stretch and release. Remember to breathe! Stretching and hanging are great for mental health and body strengthening.
5. Listen to music that makes you feel motivated and happy.
Try to notice each lyric and note. Think about what you enjoy about the song in the moment. Notice how the song makes you feel. What is your mood?
6. Close your eyes and squeeze your hands together or squeeze an object like a stress ball.
While your eyes are closes and your hands are squeezing, slowly feel yourself breathe in and out. You can notice the sensations or breathing, squeezing, closing your eyes, etc.
You can also choose to think about your favorite dreams, activities, and interests that exist in the present moment (is it dancing, creating stories, building with Legos, becoming a firefighter, being a detective, riding a horse, rescuing animals, flying a plane)
Notice how your body feels when you think about the things you love or the things you want to do. Do you feel calm, motivated, excited? How do your chest and stomach feel?
When you are done with this activity, slowly release your hands and open your eyes. Notice how you feel.
7. Write down your goals (e.g., self-care, household chores, work, time with kids, etc.)
- 20 minutes of physical activity such as yoga, dance, walking (can break up into two to four segments of 5 to 10 minutes each)
- 10 minutes of reading about an area of interest
- 30 minutes spending time with family
- 30 minutes working on an essay due for English class
- 30 minutes on hobby (e.g., puzzles, guitar, writing, research, sport)
You Tube has so many short videos to get physical activity done in short segments and not feel overwhelmed.Yoga Video
8. Drink cold water and feel the sensation as it is going down.
Water is excellent for brain function, energy, alertness, skin, and organs.
9. Complete a hands-on project or physical activity that requires your senses, along with active concentration.
Hands-on and movement-based activities are excellent for confidence, skill building, sense of adequacy, and brain function. This might be a great time to practice your dance moves, or whatever other interests or dreams you have.
10. Take good care of yourself every day. Self-Care is very important!
Caring for ourselves helps with our confidence. It allows us to feel proud of our decisions, and it ensures a healthier present and future.
11. Say positive things to yourself.
Research shows that being kind to yourself with your thoughts and words increases confidence and belief in oneself.
- I am kind
- I am a good listener.
- I am a hard worker.
- I can set goals and achieve them.
- I can be organized.
- I can do things that are right for me, even if others might not like it.
- I am empathetic and take other people’s feelings into consideration.
- I can make good decisions.
- I trust myself.
- I take good care of myself.
- I am a good friend to people.
- I am here for my family.
- I am worth it.
- I am part of a bigger whole.
- I am here for a reason.
- I matter.
12. Allow yourself to accept, recognize, and feel your feelings.
Notice how your body feels when you are sad, angry, mad, disappointed, worried, etc. Do you feel tension in your chest, does your stomach bother you, do you feel your heart race, do you cry? It is okay and normal to feel these ways. Now we have to decide how to react and how to handle those feelings.
13. When you notice the signs of sadness, anger, fear, etc. be compassionate with yourself.
Be caring to yourself and be there for your feelings; just like we often are when we comfort others. You can say things to yourself like:
- “I will be okay.”
- “I will get through this.”
- “I am allowed to make mistakes.”
- “I am here for myself.”
- “I am allowed to feel this way.”
- “I care about myself.”
- “Things will get better from here.”
- “I can create happiness.”
- “I love myself.”
- “I am a good person”
Overall, doing mindfulness activities as part of your daily routine can help reduce stress and increase positive feelings.
You don’t need to wait until you feel bad to engage in mindfulness. Practicing mindfulness regularly will lead to overall positive effects on your mood, confidence, self-control, sense of adequacy, and emotional regulation. It will also increase your understanding of your body, the sensations you feel, and how you react and respond to problems, situations, and emotions.
If you do get into a spot where you are feeling sad, angry, scared, etc. you can pick a mindfulness activity such as one of the ones listed in this article to:
- elevate your mood
- bring you to a better emotional space
- calm down an elevated heart rate, fast breathing, or nervous tension
- remind you of your strengths, goals, and ambitions
- build your confidence, self-esteem, and belief in yourself
- motivate you to accomplish your daily goals

In a land where only royalty can wear colors other than gray and brown, a baby is found in a monster's footprint by a pair of old thieves. Auralia grows up among the outcasts outside the walls of House Abascar, soon displaying a wondrous, but forbidden, talent for creating colors from the things she finds in nature. Her gift sets in motion events that will forever change the course of the world.
Right and wrong are clearly denoted, but there are both noble deeds among the 'villains' of the story and weaker moments among some of the good characters.
Both angels and the Creator are represented in the story, and right and wrong are portrayed as such. I must confess, without giving too much away, that I found the depiction of the Creator somewhat unsettling, primarily in His appearance.
There's quite a bit of battle and bloodshed in the story, and some of it is graphic.
Drug and Alcohol Content
A primary character is the 'ale boy' who serves drinks to the wealthy. The king in particular is fond of a drink called hajka which is clearly causing him to deteriorate. A soldier smuggles wine with him while on duty, and a girl makes a bet regarding whether she can get a taste of the king's hajka.
One character is clearly carrying on a couple of immoral relationships, mostly offstage, and none described graphically. One is with an already married woman who clearly feels somewhat guilty about their relationship.
Crude or Profane Language or Content
We are told that some characters swear, including a little girl mimicking a parent, but aside from one invented curse word, we don't hear what words the characters actually use.
This story is told in beautiful, often poetic prose. The characters are fascinating, and the story gripping. Moreover, as I finished the story, I found myself looking more closely at God's creation and taking notice of how the colors He has put into leaves and hillsides so consistently outshine the colors that we ourselves create. This isn't a story for very young children. It has an edge of harder fantasy, but there is a brilliance that shines through too.


Water is a necessary resource that can be used when it comes to your garden and other plantations. Overtime no many people have been depending on the rain for their gardens and other plantations but and ended up in frustration because rain is very seasonal which means it is not reliable to water the garden.As people faced the challenge of the rain, and they got another alternative to water the plants and gardens. Many people today are using a sprinkler system of the of access to water hence watering the garden and plantations. People who use the automatic sprinkler systems benefit a lot. A sprinkler system is very easy to use for any person hence it is convenient compared to other watering methods.
There are different types of sprinkler systems that you can install. For instance, there are drip systems, soaker hoses, automatic spray systems and rotor systems. You can repair and install the sprinkler system by yourself but to engage other service providers is more advantageous. If you want to manage your time especially if you are a busy person, outsourcing the repair and installation services can be very helpful. If you want to benefit by outsourcing the repair and installation services of a sprinkler system, factor the following.
It is important to engage a company that has the tools and equipment that will be used for the installation and repair of the sprinkler system. It is expensive if you engage a company that doesn’t have the proper tools and equipment because you will have to incur some extra costs in purchasing them. If you want to save therefore ask them if the of the tools to avoid financial strain.
Be sure to engage a company that is certified to offer to the public repair and installation of the sprinkler system. Different types of sprinkler systems of different complications when it comes to the installation and repairs hence the need to hire a qualified technician. Because it is possible to find unqualified technicians want to offer you the services, be sure to engage only the certified because it is a way of eliminating the unqualified.
Sometimes it is hard to avoid injuries and damages during the installation and the repair of the sprinkler system. Avoid being responsible for the damages and injuries it is important that you consider engaging a company that has an insurance cover. Engaging an insured company can save you some finances because the insurance company will be responsible for the damages and injuries.
It is important that you ensure you are engaging the professional and experienced company. If you need professional guidance or quality services, engage a professional and experienced company.

Step off assuredly into the blank of your mind. Something will come to you.
poet Richard Wilbur.
I love this quote above. It came from an article on writer Anne Tyler in last Friday's Wall Street Journal. Worth reading: The Inextinguishable Anne Tyler, Wall Street Journal Friday, 2/6/2015.
I am a big fan of her writing. She has her 20th novel coming out soon titled A Spool of Blue Thread.
This quote above, by poet Richard Wilbur, is kept over her writing desk. I am going to bring a copy of this to my studio. Another ritual she practices in her craft is giving herself 30 days to come up with an idea for her next novel. And this practice always works for her. I have been painting many works on sheets of 11" x 14" paper for the last month and getting a stack of explorations. With this I am hoping the idea for a series reveals itself. Fingers crossed.
