Chums Waterproof Cases For Your Sup Adventures!

I got the pleasure of using the Chums Downriver waterproof case this summer for my weekend sup trips here in NJ. I have to say it is great! They are very high quality and give the needed extra waterproof storage for small items like your keys, wallet cell phone etc. so you are not worried about leaving them in your car.

At first I wasn’t sure about putting my $850 iphone in there so I tested it out by putting some napkins inside, blowing it up with air, sealing it closed by following the recommended instructions, and submerging it in my sink several times.

Sure enough, the paper came out as dry as it went in so I have been using them ever since! I highly recommend these cases.

You can pick one up here:

Here is some more info on them from Chums:

“Building upon the popular Downriver, the updated Downstream waterproof accessory case features a roll top closure that can be worn as a shoulder bag or waist pack while paddling, kayaking, or stand-up paddle boarding.

Its unique water-resistant exterior front pocket is made of double-sided TPU coated nylon with a drain hole for quick drying clothes. Small and compact for personal belongings, electronics and accessories, the stylish roll-up includes a one-handed quick adjust strap for easy access and maneuvering.”

Bespin was a gas giant in the Bespin system of the Anoat sector on the Ison Corridor in the Greater Javin region of the Outer Rim Territories. It was also a major source of tibanna gas, which was refined for production and transport in numerous mining operations including Cloud City and Tibannopolis. It was home to several million individuals, including Humans, Ugnaughts, and Lutrillians.

“Bespin. It’s pretty far, but I think we can make it.”
―Han Solo

The planet Bespin was a gas giant that was about 118,000 kilometers in diameter. Like most gas giants, it had a solid core made of metal (in this case, rethin, 6,000 kilometers in diameter) followed by layers of metallic gases. Most of the layers of gas were poisonous, and the pressure and temperature were far above what a Human could tolerate. Despite this, from approximately 150 to 180 kilometers down from space there was a 30 kilometer thick habitable layer known as the Bespin Life Zone. This layer had an oxygen atmosphere with temperature and pressure suitable for Human life. It was in this layer that Cloud City was located. As with many gas giants, Bespin had a number of moons. Bespin had a twelve-hour day, and completed a revolution around its star approximately once every fourteen years.

Bespin’s fauna included the winged Tibannucks, velkers, rawwks, the gas-filled beldon, and airborne algae sacks. Bespin was the type class of the Bespin-class gas giant.

Lending Robot makes Lending Club investing easy as setting screen brightness

Thanks to Lending Robot, even those who took their finance lessons from Margot Robbie and Anthony Bourdain in “The Big Short” can invest in loans via primary and secondary markets. Users will be able to authorize the platform to trade on their behalf simply by sliding a bar to indicate risk preferences.

Lending Robot integrates with peer-to-peer lending platform Lending Club to let users offer credit and buy and sell notes on a secondary market. Previously, users would have to compete to execute split second transactions for the most popular, highest quality loans. Users also had to fill out an often inaccessible set of profile questions to get the platform to begin trading. While this more detailed framework still exists for advanced users, the interface has been stripped down for casual investors.

Founded in 2012, Lending Robot utilizes machine learning to help customers make more educated peer-to-peer lending investments. The company closed a $3 million Series A in January 2015 and has since grown to over 5,000 clients.

Democratization of financial markets has been on the rise for quite some time. Lending Robot piggybacks on this trend to place algorithmic debt trading in the hands of anyone with a smartphone. It takes just under a second for a loan to go from posted to bought on the platform.

Despite the quick response time, a lot is going on under the hood. Lending Robot parses through everything from FICO scores to employment history and debt-to-equity ratios when determining whether to execute a transaction.

“We are constantly trying to improve our models,” said Emmanuel Marot, CEO of Lending Robot. “Over the next six months the peer lending market still needs to respond to what’s happening to Lending Club. The next six months of growth should be slower but we are seeing insane growth in the peer lending market.”

Assets managed by the platform have tripled over the last year. Excluding secondary markets, Lending Robot customers have enjoyed an average 9 percent return in contrast to the 7.17 percent typically earned through Lending Club alone.

Prior to the interest rate hike by the Federal Reserve, interest rates on Lending Club had been falling. Lending Robot hopes to reinvigorate demand in the peer-to-peer lending space by maximizing returns for investors.

“Ultimately we want to provide a service as easy as a savings account but with returns over 5 percent per year. That’s our goal,” added Marot.

You can follow Lending Robot here as they continue to develop their product and expand to new markets.

Dust to DustGone West With Steve Roach and Roger King
by David J Opdyke, AmbiEntrance

After days of wandering through the sonic desert of Steve Roach and Roger King's new collaboration Dust to Dust, Link O'Rama just had to track down the westward musicians to get the story. Obliging gents that they are, here's what they had to say...

Link: How did the whole concept of guitar flavored Western ambience come about?

Roach: It happened a couple of ways. First off, Roger and I had become good friends over the past years since he was doing a lot of mastering for me on all my music since Well of Souls. He has been in music for most of his life and owned a big studio in Tucson during the 70's and 80's. After a few years of just hanging out together, the time and space seemed right to get together in the Timeroom, have some beers and make some music from the feeling we share – no big agenda, just to see what the hell might happen.

Also, I was wanting to work with a guitarist for years. But the guitar sound I was attracted to was not so much full of processing but more acoustic and staying more true to the pure sound. One of my all time favorites is Steve Tibbetts, especially his CD Northern Song. Also an important reminder occured years ago when I heard the soundtrack to Paris, Texas by Ry Cooder. With the atmosphere it created, I knew someday I would be going down that dusty trail.

But really the music between Roger and I just occured very naturally. Above all when we started recording I was blown away by Roger's talent that seemed to be waiting to cut loose after recording and producing everyone else for years.

So the story starts here. The narrative of "what drives a man to go west" was something that started to come from listening to the early pieces we were recording. We would talk about our different thoughts on desert life both in present time and the recent past. I also have been coming across more and more ghost towns and even some old pioneer graves during trips around the outskirts of town. The feeling of all this helped fuel the music in a big way. Along with the meeting up of Mortimer Sagebreath in Oracle AZ, a western storyteller.

Link: While Dust to Dust's sound is slightly different, you've been focusing on the desert southwest for years (For instance, I'm thinking of 1987's Western Spaces with Braheny and Burmer). How has your musical scope expanded since those days?

Roach: When I did Western Spaces and Desert Solitaire, I was still living in Los Angeles longing to be in the desert full time, paying visits to the Mohave but still ensconced in the city. Since living in Tucson for 8 years, my connection to the land has come up through the music in the ways that you can hear for yourself, especially with the blend of more earth-born "instruments"---rocks, percussion and drums, the dreampipe made right here in Tucson.

I feel the big difference between my earlier desert recording is that with Dust to Dust, the shift is about people and the desert, the mythology of the the west both now and a hundred years ago, where Western Spaces and Desert Solitaire were about the stark beauty and personal connection to the desert landscape without any sign of human activity.

Link: The most obvious comparison (from my frame of reference) to Dust will be Slim Westerns by A Small, Good Thing. Was this release ever in your mind as an inspiration, a measuring stick, or not at all?

Roach: The Dust concept was born as I described above. I had heard Slim Westerns after I told a friend of this project I wanted to do someday and he sent it along. I thought it was pretty cool, a nice reminder like the Ry Cooder. interesting too that it was recorded in the UK.

It seemed to take some cues from films and the classic spaghetti westerns which we all have grown up with. As for films, the later Clint Eastwood films had some inspiration for me: Pale Rider, The Unforgiven. But to make the point clearer, I was born and raised in the West and spent my life growing up within the iconology and spirit of this place so the real inspiration is beyond music or film. Since I enjoy traveling in time with my music, it seem like the next stop was my own backyard.

Also when Roger and I hooked up, it was a bit uncanny how he had not heard any of this music from the world I dwell within. Just about anybody you name, he has not heard or been under the influence of. This for me was really invigorating, for him to be so full of natural talent yet be so detatched from this tide pool of the ambient-electronic world . Simply making music from a gut reaction and intuition.

Link: Which is a more difficult instrument... the didgeridoo or the harmonica?

Roach: The didgeridoo is by far much more difficult to get sound out of. I used to play the harmonica YEARS ago before synthesizers, didgs, etc. In fact, you might say it was my first instrument! Besides jamming to rock albums, I used to play it at a "job" I had where I would sit in a shed way out in the bush, chair leaned back, and change radio frequencies on a microwave transmitter every twenty minutes or so. (Someone say slacker?)

I also used to play it when I was driving to Los Angeles to work with various electronic artists during the late 70's. I always kept it in my glove box and would play it on the 405 freeway driving home at 2am into San Diego. I would be beyond tired but had to get home for work and would blow out on the harp to stay awake. It worked great.

Strangely, when we started to get into full stride with Dust to Dust, I remembered that I used to play the harmonica, went out and bought a couple of cheap ones and picked up where I left off. After playing the didgeridoo for years, the harmonica was big fun and has taken on a new life for me. It's expressive in ways I forgot

Link: As usual Projekt's packaging is gorgeous. Were you familiar with photographer Patrick Grimes before this?

Roach: No, Roger discovered him one day after breakfast when he saw his work in a gallery, we had a total concept in mind already which Patrick happened to have for us. Sam Rosenthal then gave it his midas touch with the design and boom...

Link: Any predictions for your future works?

Roach: A new Dust to Dust for sure - by the way this will become the group name. Currently working out the details for a limited release with Vidna Obmana on Projekt. The title is Ascension Of Shadows: Meditation For The Millenium. It will be a 3 CD set with 2000 copies availble through mail order only.

Also completing Body Electric with Chicago based artist Vir Unis. This is high octane Electronic Music - Label unknown.

Please check the web site (www.steveroach.com) for the Celestial Harmonies releases and other news...

Link: Congratulations, and thanks for your time and participation. Any closing comments?

Roach: Thanks!

We turn our attention to Roger King, a Tuscon-based guitarist and studio wizard:

Link: Do Tusconians know about Steve Roach? I mean, do they think he's some kind of hermit making strange sounds in the desert, or what?

King: When I first started working with Steve I would ask some of my friends in the traditional local Tucson recording scene if they knew of him. Most had heard the name but had no idea what he did. When Steve asked me to mix his concert in Tucson I was blown away with the number of avid Steve Roach fans that filled the 400 seat Theater.In fact it was sold out with people turned away. Some people still think he lives somewhere else.

Link: What's your "usual" style of music? Had you done anything like this before?

King: Living in Tucson and making a living in the recording business means wearing many hats and developing an eclectic personal style of music. My early influences on guitar were blues, rock and roll and hard rock. But it was my switch to playing bass, particularly country bass that taught me the discipline of space. In other words the space between notes is just as important as the actual notes played.

Dust to Dust marks my first journey into this musical genre and it feels closer to home than anything I've ever done before. The added joy for me in this collaboration is my deep friendship with Steve and the absolute passion we both have for the music we play together.

Link: How many different guitars were involved?

King: 2-acoustics 1-Strat 1-precision bass and 1-fretless bass

Link: What was the biggest change for you in making Dust to Dust?

King: Getting rid of all my preconceived notions of arrangement, time signature and production. It was liberating when Steve talked me into trusting my own body clock and I began to see how that affected my playing.

Link: What will you be doing musically in the future? Might you be working with Steve again?

King: More Dust with Steve and others and a solo album produced by Steve.

Link: I think you guys have done something great here. Thanks for joining in. Any closing comments?

King: Thanks!

The Visionary Grande is aptly named because this screen allows systems integrators to install 10-18 foot screens in commercial screening rooms, boardrooms, conference rooms, and houses of worship.

The Visionary Grande is a motorized, retractable screen that is primarily designed for new construction that requires a large format screen. The housing can be hard-wired and installed during early stages of construction. The screen bezel and screen can be installed during the final stages of construction when the building environment is clean and free from contamination. The self-finishing, bezel style housing offers clean lines, a flush ceiling mount with minimal seam lines, and no visible hardware. Appliqués can even be applied to the bezel to match room décor.

Despite its large size, the Visionary Grande is surprisingly easy to install, due to the integrated winch lifting system that facilitates mounting the screen to the ceiling and the ability to level the screen/bezel to the ceiling independent of the housing. The Stewart Filmscreen engineers have established a complete ease-of-installation protocol for the Visionary Grande. A factory specialist can provide details based on installation and project design. The Visionary Grande is available for use with all of Stewart's flexible screen materials.

The United States also alleges that senior Afghan Taliban commanders live on Pakistani soil and has signaled it will cut aid and take other steps if Islamabad does not stop helping or turning a blind eye to Haqqani militants crossing the border to carry out attacks in Afghanistan.

The decision, which was announced Thursday, is meant to pressure Pakistan to help US foreign policy priorities like clamping down on the Taliban in Afghanistan.

At least one influential Pakistani politician seems to be taking the Trump administration seriously. And U.S. officials publicly questioned whether Pakistan was spending U.S. military aid on fighting terrorism.

On New Year's Day, President Donald Trump had noted on Twitter that the U.S. had "foolishly" given Pakistan over $33 billion in aid over the past 15 years, adding that Islamabad gives "safe havens to the terrorists we hunt in Afghanistan, with little help".

The Pakistan foreign office claimed that Washington's "shifting goalposts" was "counterproductive", but also noted that Islamabad remained "engaged with the United States administration on the issue of security cooperation and awaits further details". USA aid agencies alone gave nearly $5 million to Pakistan in 2017, according to data from USAID. -Pakistani cooperation for winning the release of an American woman, her Canadian husband and their children who had been held by Haqqani militants for five years.

As recently as October, Trump credited U.S.

The message in US President Trump's tweet depicts either a failure or regret of the steps taken by his predecessors, especially by Barack Obama. It's a lesson the USA government has learned the hard way in Pakistan.

"It, however, needs to be appreciated that Pakistan has fought the war against terrorism largely from its own resources, which has cost over $120 billion in 15 years".

Unfortunately, Pakistan's all-powerful military appears unable to escape a prison of perpetual denial.

Is the Trump administration right? "But that will have to change, and that will change immediately". In an article published on the website of Gatestone Institute, an worldwide policy council and think tank in New York, Islamabad-based journalist Kaswar Klasra has said that ISIS will continue to carry out attacks, itself or through other outfits such as Lashkar-i-Jhangvi, Jamaat-ul-Ahrar and the Taliban, unless Pakistan takes them to task, reported ANI. So no, this will not be enough to convince Pakistan to turn on them. Out of this, $400 million was eligible for Haqqani Network-related certification requirements that can not be waived by the administration. They note, too, that they've been victims of terrorist attacks.

The meeting between Jaishankar and Juster took place Friday morning, where they discussed latest developments, including the U.S. move to cut military aid to Islamabad for not acting against the Haqqani network and Afghan Taliban. He also said that he was not concerned about Pakistan cutting off United States supply routes to Afghanistan.

'There are considerable risks for the US because Pakistan could retaliate in ways that would be very problematic for USA regional interests, ' he said, such as curtailing intelligence cooperation and USA supply lines into Afghanistan.

Given the huge drop off in ticket sales last weekend, I think that it’s safe to say that anyone who wants to see Batman v Superman has already done so. I also think it’s safe to say that people either really like or don’t like the movie as a whole. (There doesn’t seem to be a lot of middle ground on this one.)

Personally, I liked the movie even though it has some serious flaws. One of my biggest complaints is that I don’t like Zack Snyder’s vision of who Superman is or what he stands for. I guess what it boils down to is that I don’t think that he even understands what Superman means to so many people, not just comic readers.

To elaborate, let’s look at Snyder’s Man of Steel. The movie was dark, both in mood and in actual color which I understand is a mark of a Snyder movie, but by the end I was really wanting to see Superman, not some confused emo Bizarro version of the character. Of course, I gave Snyder a pass with his first attempt to bring this beloved character to the silver screen, attributing things to the fact that Clark Kent didn’t know how to be Superman and that we’d see the more of “truth, justice, and the American way” in subsequent movies. However, with BvS, it’s more of the same which convinces me that Snyder really doesn’t understand Superman as a character.

At this point, you may be asking yourself, “But, Zohner, everyone has a different picture in their mind of who Superman is and what he stands for. How do you think he should be?” Well let me tell you…

In the 1940’s, Max Fleischer captured, in my mind, exactly who Superman was, is, and should always be: a person who always does what is right, no matter the cost. (Fun fact: the cartoons also gave him the ability to fly.) The short cartoons were beautiful in more ways than one and are still absolutely amazing to watch. (If you’re not familiar with them, do yourself a favor and check them out.) Unfortunately, there were only 17 made, but they were influential enough to define the character for generations to come.

Anyway, last week I came across this video that, using the Fleischer cartoons as a reference, sums up the best Superman better than I ever could. Check it out and let me know if you think I’m wrong. (Hint, I’m not.)

Going Green

Going green is still on everyone's mind.  With the current state of the economy and rising fuel prices, I would have imagined that the green movement would have faded away.  Most green products cost more to produce and hence bring a higher retail price to have them bought and installed.  But maybe there's more to being green than just the products themselves.

If a person wants to play the LEED game, there are a number of cards to play to get LEED points.  Low emission products, products produced from nearby materials, recycled content, and ease of maintenance items are just a few of the criteria for earning points.  The higher the LEED point the more, um, notoriety or prestige the project is ... I guess.  Seems kinda silly to me to go through all that trouble for that kind of return.

A past co-worker had a picture of a tree frog with a caption that said "It's not easy being Green."  Green just happen to be his last name so it was a bit of play on words, but it was a catchy phrase that took on more meaning to me.  Being green isn't easy.  Counter tops are no exception.  As I already mentioned, the cost is usually a bit more and finding a product close to your home may not always fit an individual's design or taste.  For example, in one Utah home, I replaced a wood and laminate counter top with a more durable tile top.  The homeowner had a locally quarried red sandstone fireplace hearth.  A very handsome piece of stone, but they were scared to get it dirty since it was so porous and difficult to clean.  The green architectural piece, although very nice, was in my opinion, impractical.

I believe a home should be beautiful, functional, and practical.  So what does this have to do with being green, you might ask.   Not much at all, except that chasing after a green home may not always turn out fitting your requirements for a home.  I always tell my friends, family, and clients to pick something for their home that fits their taste and style of living.  After all, the home should be your sanctuary from the other stresses of life.  If using a green product is what fits, then by all means, use it.

This next picture is from a home remodel I did that features Caesarstone Carmel #9350 and Paperstone Mocha.  Both are green products.

Caesarstone, like other quartz products, do not require any additional chemicals to maintain as compared to natural stone or tile. The other bonus is consistency in the colors.  Although not 100 percent consistent from one dye lot to another, its pretty close.

Paperstone is made from recycled paper and uses a beeswax based sealer.  The use of the sealer and the use of the top creates its own patina.  That's cool because it gets its own character over time.

The homeowner talked to me about their project.  It was destined to be their final home for their upcoming retirement and they wanted it "just so".  I was up to the challenge.  I had never fabricated with these products before so once again, I went to work gathering as much information as I could and obtaining some sample pieces to practice on.  Building off my other experiences with natural stone and woodworking, I was able to craft this simple and clean installation that features two under-mount sinks, double eased edge and one seam.  The homeowner did not want corbels for the bar top so I worked with the custom cabinet maker on building the pony wall to support some custom brackets that are hidden behind the cabinet panel and recessed into the underside of the bar top.  I even had a local machinist, Allen Precision, make the custom brackets.  How's that for being green!

The homeowner tackled the tile installation to save some labor costs and they chose one of my favorite underlayments: Ditra.  I think they did a fine job. Green points in their selection of tile and setting materials.  Yep.

Would this project be considered green to you?  Ease of maintenance, years of trouble-free service, and warm earth tones make this kitchen practical, functional, and inviting.  A perfect score in my book.

In the beginning

In the beginning.

This is a bath surround from my first major tile job.  We did approximately 1000 square feet of floor tile, a full tiled shower and this master bathroom.  I had a couple of nephews working with me on the job and we had a great time working together.  The house was quite impressive with solid alder wood doors and trim, custom wood cabinets, quartz counter tops, built-in entertainment center, and an all brick exterior.  There was not too many things the homeowner skimped on.  I truly felt privileged to be selected to do the tile work and I wanted them to be happy with the job.  We took the extra time to focus on the details of our work and make it "just so".  In the end, the missus of the house told me that her master bathroom was her most favorite room in the whole house.  Wow!  What a compliment.  There were so many other features to her home, I didn't expect that kind of admiration.   From then on, I was hooked.  I wanted to do this work full time.  I had never received this kind of appreciation for any other work I have done for any employer.  Here are some more pictures of what we did in the house.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I enjoyed the work.

The shower was cool.  This was my first shower.  I studied and read and learned as much as I could on how to build a shower correctly.  In my quest for knowledge, I stumbled upon a tile forum.  John Bridge - Tile Your World was a wealth of information and later, became another turning point in my life.  One of the challenges we faced was finishing the corners.  For outside corners, we decided to back bevel the tile and make those outside corners "just so".  I have since tried other options but this is by far the best I have liked.  The other challenge was the upper corner near the ceiling.  The corner just didn't look right with just tile up there.  So, with approval from the homeowner, we made a simple crown moulding out of the accent tile.  I've used this design many times since.

Another cool idea was this entryway.  She had seen it in a picture and wanted it in her house.  The challenge was getting the tile to come out flat and how to grout the tile.  I had learned about expansion joints and why they are important in a tile installation.  We worked on layout with the other flooring contractor to come up with a 1/8 inch grout joint around the tile.  We installed the tile after the wood floor was complete.  To get the right height, we installed backer board in each square then carefully back buttered each tile to get the right height with the wood planks.  For grout, I opted for a nutmeg colored silicone caulk.  This would give me an expansion joint around each tile and not crack like traditional grout.  Other jobs I've seen like this with traditional cement grout have cracked.  I believe this will give years of trouble-free service.  Was it worth the extra effort on my part? Absolutely.

Bloody Feeding Frenzy

While everyone’s been waiting for the next Harry Potter wannabe – someone to keep young male readers reading – someone has stepped in and brought young girls to the bookshelves. Stephanie Meyer has become the latest phenomenon in the Young Adult book world.

She’s now out with the fourth in her vampire series. And the frenzy is at Potter levels. Midnight release parties. Thousands waiting in line. Millions of books printed. And it’s not just here in the U.S.

The Vancouver Sun reported:
Tom Best, vice-president of marketing for HB Fenn, the Canadian distributor for the Twilight Saga, says the appetite for Meyer's work isn't just strong, it's seemingly unending.
Meyer is just as popular in Australia. According to The Age:
Since 2005, when the first book, Twilight, appeared, the series has sold more than 10 million copies worldwide, while 10,000 books a week are bought in Australia.
The Twilight movie is already in production and should be released in mid-December, January 2009 in Australia.

  1. Meyer has been in more than one of my Blogs and for good reason. I am not on eto buy into the hype, but I broke down and bought the eBook and read it. More than read it, I truly enjoyed it

    I have never read any of the Potters, there just wasn't enough to make me want to. I could not buy into the hype, not sure why, but Meyer was somehow different for me.

    I will tell you an author who is sorely underrated and should be getting a LOT more play is Kirsten Miller with her Kiki Strike books.

    Kiki is a remarkable character and I wish I saw more of her work being praised.

    Karen Syed

  2. Thanks for the heads-up. I'll have to check Stephanie out.

    Marvin D Wilson
    Eye Twitter 2 -

  3. I've read both the Potter Books and the Meyer books. I liked them both. Although they're both "fantasies," they're different. I started reading Meyer because I wanted to see how she introduced the vampire character, and have now read all but the latest.

    I will look into the Kiki Stike books. Are they YA "fantasies" also? (I keep putting that into quotes because I'm really not sure of the definition of fantasy.)

  4. Hi Helen,
    I saw this phenom first hand the other night when I took my daughter to the midnight release of the latest book. The interesting thing is that there were only about 5 boys there. The rest were all teen and pre-teen girls. The excitement was contagious and though I have read the books yet, I must admit to being very curious about the draw of them. Anyway, it would be nice to think that someday I could have a book that would draw that much excitement.

  5. Velda Brotherton8/06/2008 4:17 PM

    Interesting. I find it amazing that though publicity says young people aren't reading, this kind of "frenzy" can be created by a fantasy for young people.

    I think it's great. Thanks for the report. It give me hope for our readers of the future.

  6. It's nice to see the frenzy among female readers. I know that the stats say girls read more than boys, but the last frenzy-causing book was Potter and it was the "one" that drew in the boys (although girls were big readers).

    I've read all but the latest vampire book by Meyer. I can see why young teens would like it, why girls would identify with the protagonist. I'm not a big reader of YA, though, and was surprised by the sexual overtones, knowing that preteens are reading these books. Shows you how long ago it was that I read YA books!

Book Review: Owen Fiddler by Marvin D. Wilson

Author Marvin D. Wilson presents the man Owen Fiddler as average. So average, in fact, that the “one unique aspect of him is his absolute average-ness.” But, in fact, Owen Fiddler, in the book Owen Fiddler, represents the extremes of man. He reaches the lowest of lows, attains the highest of highs, and, like most of mankind, searches for redemption.

In Owen Fiddler, Marvin D. Wilson has written a modern-day religious allegory, a story of rejecting grace, walking God’s path, and accepting responsibility for one’s sins in order to be saved and returned to grace. Owen Fiddler’s life is not necessarily one that all people can relate to, but his struggles are. Until he reaches the bottom, he is happy to wallow in his life, not caring how it affects others. When the worst that can happy to Owen Fiddler does indeed happen, the question becomes can the best that ever happened to him show Owen the way out of his misery? And will he follow?

Marvin D. Wilson describes himself as a “spiritualist with a zeal for sharing inspirations and insights ….” In Owen Fiddler, he shares a story of opposites, of good and evil, of rejecting God and accepting grace … and he does it with zeal.

  1. This sounds like a good one.

  2. We're all searching for reasons why things happen. Sounds like Owen Fiddler could be a good start in that direction.

    Morgan Mandel

  3. Yeah? Well, I'm glad ya like it. Everyone's talkin bout what a great story it is and all that (bleep) but it sure as hell was some (bleep) livin thru it. Anyways, thanks for the review, maybe now Marvin can pay me some more dough.

  4. Oh jeez, Helen, sorry for Owen dropping in and spouting off like that - well, you know all about him - (sigh). Anyways, thanks for posting this review. You're a peach. {-:>

  5. Owen! How wonderful of you to drop by. And I agree, Marvin should pay you more dough. I'd ask for cookie dough myself. Although you probably prefer self-rising bread dough.

Christine Verstraete

Hi Helen, thanks for hosting me during my Book Launch Blog Tour for Girl Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie, which just released! Yay!

You're welcome, Christine! For those of you who don't yet know Christine, here's a bit about her:
Christine Verstraete is a big Halloween fan who enjoys a good scare or two. Her short fiction has appeared online and in anthologies including Timeshares and Steampunk'd from DAW Books. Her new YA book, GIRL Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie released August 1. Stop by her website at or blogs, and

Before you link over to her website or blogs, stick around here a little longer. I'm grilling Christine with questions about her books and writing.

Q: Zombies, romance, and humor -- how do you fit all these in one story?
Christine: Carefully… ha!
Well Becca, the 16-year-old protagonist is only a part-Z  (Zombie), so a teenager still has to have some kind of life, (or un-life?) right? Other than fighting off full Zs, she has this good-looking guy she's getting to know… And when you're in the worst of times, a little humor can't hurt, though she's not too fond of her would-be boyfriend's penchant for bad zombie jokes…

Q: You've also written a children's mystery, which has a sweet and definitely not scary storyline. Did you write it before you started writing zombies?
A: My kid's mystery was out originally in 2009 (how times flies!) and as a longtime horror fan, I've gradually been letting my stories get a little darker, but they still usually have some weird quirk or a touch of humor. I can't help myself.

 Q: The cover for My Life as a Teenage Zombie is scary looking. The dark eyes, which actually are looking in different directions, totally say "zombie"! (I love it.) Did you do the cover or have input on it?
A: I did make suggestions on the cover, but the eye wasn't my idea and I have to admit I wasn't sure about it at first… but it grew on me. Since one of Becca's "quirks" after turning part Z is a sometimes "twirly" eye, it makes sense. And it's memorable, right?

Q: You do both long and short fiction. Which is easier, book length or short story and why?
A: I don't know if I can call either one "easier."  I like writing short stories, but I noticed I tended to be starting them slower, as if I were writing a longer story. You have more leisure to explore things in a book or longer story that shorter formats often don't allow, but I do love both.

 Q: Tell us one thing about yourself that you've never talked about before, be it scary, funny, or happy.
A: I used to be afraid of the dark. Really. Must've been all those monster movies I watched or scary books I read. Had to be. I mean, that thing in the closet isn't real, right?

Q: Now, in one paragraph tell us what GIRL Z: My Life as a Teenage Zombie is about.
Sixteen-year-old Rebecca Herrera Hayes' life changes forever when her cousin comes home with a deadly secret—he's becoming a zombie, a fate he shares with her through an accidental scratch. Becca becomes a part-Z (zombie), with all the weird quirks and habits no girl wants to be noticed for. But time is running out… she needs to find something, anything, to stop this deadly transformation before it is forever too late...

  1. sounds like a very fun book. I've been reading more YA - the plots and humor grab me. Great cover too.

    1. I occasionally read YA but not often. I'd like to read Chris' book and will download it.

  2. Awesome interview! It's always fun to learn just a little bit more about the authors I follow! I'm still working on this book (I'm flipping back and forth between 2 books right now) but, what I've read so far is GREAT!! Technically I'm a little old for YA books but I really enjoy them when they're well written so I encourage everyone, young and old, to give this novel a chance! It's worth your time....I promise! :-)

    1. One reason I think it's good for writers who write for adults to read YA is because they get to know what that age group like as far as pace, etc. After all, that teen will grow up to read adult books.

  3. Thanks Joanne, YA can be so different to read....
    Joline, thank you! Can't wait to see your review... and you're never too old!

  4. Yes, I agree with Joline, it's always fun to learn about another author, though I'm a bit of a wimp and couldn't write about zombies :0)

    1. I'm with you, Carole Anne. I don't think I could write zombies and do them justice. But it is worth pondering.

  5. Oh you got to put your 'inner gore' hat on. It's kind of fun. ha! Think Dracula on steroids... :)
    Carole Anne, thanks for stopping by too!

WAR FOR THE PLANET OF THE APES Road Trip (Summer Movie Series) – SA241

It’s the final chapter in the new Planet of the Apes trilogy, and Ben, Evan, and guest host Brennan went into it wondering if this could be the end of one of the best trilogies of all time. High expectations, indeed. But how did it hold up? While they all went into one theater and watched one movie, there were two VERY different reactions!

Troubles Show No Sign of Ending for Tour

WASHINGTON — Hot on the heels of the gas-main eruption that cut the President-Elect's tour short, and amid unverified rumors of a failed attempt on his life, President-Elect Allen Rickham is now facing increased scrutiny by members of Congress after it was discovered on Thursday that his pick for Secretary of the Interior, Joshua Talbot, had connections with the Pro-Evolved terrorist organization PARIAH.

In a statement delivered this morniing by President-Elect Rickham's camp, he announced that he was unaware of Talbot's undisclosed involvement with PARIAH, and affirms his disapproval of the methods used by the former Pro-Evolved group, which was presumed disbanded last month during a government raid of their headquarters.

It was information obtained during this raid that led government investigators to a paper-trail of finances allegedly put forth by Joshua Talbot over the course of a year, money which may well have funded their illegal bombings and terror campaign.

This blow so shortly after the election has caused a growing level of discontent in Washington over Rickham's other cabinet choices, and further scrutiny is expected to fall on the President-Elect to determine his exact knowledge of Talbot's connection to the organization.

Unmistakable Identity

alexander_icon.gif peter2_icon.gif

Also Featuring:

Scene Title Unmistakable Identity
Synopsis Peter and his new partner take some time to get aquainted, and run into an unfamiliar face.
Date October 2, 2008 (Evening)

The pulsing beat of bass throbs through the walls of Rapture, a high-class nightclub in the heart of Harlem. Rows of expensive cars line up out front of the exclusive club and a crowd of would-be patrons wait outside, cherry-picked by the bouncers to have only the cream of the crop on the interior, while leaving just enough eye-candy outside to entice other patrons. The club serves as a respite for the trendy and the influential from the grind of daily life.

On the inside, Rapture is as much a spectacle as it is a structure. Multiple dance floors in tiered balconies overlooking an enormous central dance floor ringed by plush leather-upholstered booths. Pale blue light shines on the wrap-around bar that curved around the back of the establishment, and the entire building is filled floor-to-floor and shoulder-to-shoulder with the pulsing, flowing sea of people dancing to the rythmic beats of electronic dance music piped through the expansive sound-system.

"So then, e'says to 'er, 'why don't you chill out' an' wham, freezes 'er like a bloody icecube." Conversation carries beneath the pulsing beats and rythms of music within the walls of Rapture. Tonight hasn't been exceptionally busy, Thursdays are the deadest nights out of the week, and even the prime evening crowd is thin. "So I says to 'em, what'd ya go an' freeze her for!" The usual throngs of dancers are thinned out to a small crowd of devoted that fill up the central dance floor. Moving into the club, a pair of men in dark suits are decidedly unfamiliar faces among the weekday crowd. "An e'says t'me, it was a great line!" One is a thin and tall, wiry looking man with short cropped blonde hair and a thin smile, hands tucked into the pockets of his slacks, and his narrow black tie waggling back and forth in front of his white shirt. "Can you believe it, eh? So here's me thinkin' you're a lot more laid back than he was, right?" His voice carries a decidedly cockney accent, clearly from out of town.

"That was your last partner?" Walking at his side, dressed in a matching suit that seems more filled out, is a distinctive figure. Even if it weren't for the scar cutting across the middle of his face, the tone of his voice and his distinctive smile would give him away as Peter Petrelli, to those who know him. "Sounds like a sadistic person."

"Oh, man, you ain't got no idea, I'm tellin ya." The light-haired Brit that walks ay his side waves one hand animatedly as they come across the dance floor, headed to the VIP booths, "You's much more laid-back Mista' Petrelli, if'n I do say so m'self." Peter cracks the thin man an awkward smile, parting from him to take a seat at his booth, raising one hand to motion towards one of the waitresses for service.

The clock on the wall strikes 8:30pm, quitting time for the first shift of bouncers.

Alexander is in a suit. It fits, and well, as if tailored. He looks neither like a gorilla nor a mobster nor a poor seminary student. God only knows where he got it done, considering how poor he is - but it is de rigeur for the bouncers here. But Al's coming off shift, and thus he's taken off his tie and loosened his cuffs.

He's heading for the bar, only to stop and do a perfect double-take on spotting Peter. Ignoring the 'tender behind the bar and his accompanying outraged look as he stops in mid-order, he goes stalking for Pete, brushing his way through the crowd. His expression is a mingling of various moods, but it's sheer incredulity at the fore, at the moment. He's already reaching out a hand to touch Peter's arm, call his attention.

"Well, from what I heard he got what he deserved, right?" Peter arches one brow with a somewhat twisted smile, "I mean, he was so gung-ho to go after that hydrokineticist, it serves him right." The two share a laugh as both Peter and the blonde Brit take a seat. Then, feeling the hand on his arm, Peter looks up towards Alexander. The hairstyle is slightly different, he's wearing a suit, but all in all he seems to be exactly the same as Alex remembers him. "Uh…"

The blonde man leans forward on the table, hands folded as he keeps his eyes trained up on Alexander, but his words directed to Peter, "This bloke a friend of yours, Petey?" Peter glances over, then looks back up to Alexander, offering the man an awkward smile.

"Hey. There something I can help you with?" He looks Alexander up and down, the way one would assess a stranger. From around behind Alex, one of the server girls comes over, leaning an arm on Alex's shoulder as she nods to Peter and his company. "Two Gin and Tonics," Peter says to her, almost dismissive of Alex before he shoots the bouncer a look again, an expectant one.

"Peter Petrelli, right?" Alex says, suddenly caught off guard. This isn't a trick, is it, or a joke? He searches the man's scarred face, as if looking for any sign of recognition.

"Pete, you want me to tell this — " Peter motions towards the anxious blonde man with one hand, shaking his head slightly before looking back up to Alexander.

"Yeah, sorry, do I know you?" One brow raises slowly, "I'm kind've busy right now, but…" He narrows his eyes, tilting his head to the side for a moment, looking at Alexander as if in recognition of his features. For a moment, just a moment, it looks like Peter might realize who he is. "Are you…" The words hang on his tongue, "You were a friend of Simone's, right? Bradley Miller?" Peter leans in, looking up at Alexander in a remarkable of mistaken identity, wagging one finger at the man, "Stock broker?"

Alexander's smile is best described as sickly, considering. "Not…exactly," he says, throat working. ""And no, I didn't know Simone, though you described her to me many a time. I see you're busy, so I'll leave you be. But do give me a call, when you have a chance," He pulls a card from within his suitjacket. It's not a business card, per se. No description of what he does, after all. But it does have his name and cellphone number on it.

Peter arches a brow as he watches Alexander, reaching out to take the card with one hand. "Do I…" He looks down at the card, Jesse Alexander Knight, then looks back up with his head cocked to the side. "Do I know you? I mean — Did I? Before…" A hand reaches out across the table, taking Peter's arm and giving it a bit of a squeeze. It snaps his focus from Alexander over to the blonde-haired man.

"Pete, man, focus. We was havin' a drink right?" He gives Petr a long, lingering stare, and then Peter just affords the man a crooked smile, nodding weakly. "Aye, pal, piss off for a bit eh? We only get so many bloody hours of down time." He wrinkles his nose and nods over to Alex, then leans back in his seat, letting go of Peter's arm.

The man's comment draws a glare from Peter, "Woods, relax." His eyes flit back up to Alexander, then down to the card, then back up again. "Yeah, yeah I'll… I'll give you a call sometime." His head cants to the side again, brow tensing as he gently skims the surface of Alexander's thoughts, looking for anything out of place.

Out of place? His brain is currently full of thoughts scurrying madly in no particular direction, like frightened mice in a jar. Is….is he faking it for this goon? Where's he been? Does he actually know who I am? Woods? The Brit gets an icy glance from Alexander. Did the Company brainscrape him somehow? I've got to tell Helena….we're fucked. So fucked. "You know me," he says, with a calm he really doesn't feel. "It'll come to you, in time."

Watching Alexander closely, Peter gives the man a slow nod, then shifts his focus back to Agent Woods. He looks at the blonde, briefly, then focuses back up to Alexander with a painted smile. "Yeah, yeah I'm sure it will. Have a good night, man…" A thoughtful, if not somewhat puzzled look crosses Peter's face as he turns to look down at the top of the table.

"So anyway — " Woods jumps in quickly, folding his hands on the table again and leaning forward anxiously, "That was jus' partner number one, right?' He raises both of his brows, cracking a crooked smile. "Lemmie tell you about James Loius Terrier, that man was an absolute fuck of a person." He breaks out into an awkward laugh, slapping one hand down on the table. Peter can only half pay attention to Wood's story, now somewhat perplexed by what he heard in Alexander's thoughts…

Alexander withdraws, as smoothly as he can. At least it's not at a panicked run. HE even schools his features into something like the tired hauteur you'd expect from a bouncer working here…..but he's left his drink at the bar, nonetheless, in his hurry to get out of there.

Workspace Inspiration

One of the things I enjoy most is peeking into peoples work spaces. I'm an organization junkie so I'm always curious how people keep their things in order. This is the office of Jute, an Interior Design company in Mill Valley. Such a great, simple technique to storing fabric samples- folded on open shelving. What could be easier?

Karen today

This go-round produced a much better likeness and a more satisfactory painting for me. I think Karen liked the previous painting I did of her (May, 2012), which had a green background and showed blonder hair, but I wasn't pleased with the lack of finish at the time, after only two sessions. She's a great and very generous model, so I hope we'll be painting her again.

Don’t Ask Don’t Tell

In 1951 the US military declared homosexuality an unacceptable risk and dishonorably discharged about 2,000 men and women. With that said, gay and lesbian soldiers have come a long way in gaining some acceptance and openness in the military. But is it enough? The gay marriage debate has caused me to reflect on so many other issues currently […]

Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.

I am just going to do a quick movie review. I saw Transformers:Revenge Of The Fallen three weeks ago. I liked the movie, but it is one that you just need to sit back and enjoy the ride. There are plot holes big enough to drive Optimus Prime through. (In case you are not familiar with Transformers, Optimus Prime transforms into a Semi.)

I knew I should have written this sooner. I am trying to recall my impressions about the movie and am coming up blank. Actually, I think that does say a lot about the movie. I went expecting to enjoy it and I did. However, when it comes out on DVD, I probably won't buy it. It was fun watching it once, but I really don't have any desire to see it again. On the IMDB it rates a 6.4. I gave it a 6.
Travis was right. There were 6 pieces.
Today's question is Grade 3/World History.

The Punic Wars were fought between whom?

  • A) Rome and Athens
  • B) Rome and Carthage
  • C) Rome and Alexandra
I wasn't sure and made a guess. It was a wrong guess. 111-20.

One hell of a chaos today.

Thanks to Badger we could practise alot. First war started against a high-skilled team named 'Insane'.
Insane is taking the 13th place in a BeNeLux league, so losing wasn't that much of a disgrace.

As most of the readers might suspect, we lost big time. None the less it was a great experience. We
even had some after-war training. One of their members, Warrior, decided to help us with tactics, aiming, ...

After the training we decided to get some more experience in this war scene. The training paid off
since we were able to win some rounds finaly. Also, during these three wars, we made alot of changes.
We installed teamspeak, so we could give orders more easily.

Plans started to work out now and we even began to win rounds agains mid-high skilled clans.
Ofcourse there's always the factor luck. We were unlucky several times, so we couldn't win our first war yet.

We're getting better every war though, and allow me to say sorry to those who get frustrated for playing in a beginner
team like ours.
But as any blind man could see, this team has alot of potential. As we gain more war experience in the future, we
will become a good clan.

Let's hope for the better next war, because a first win is getting close.

- Everyone needs to install 'ventrilo' and 'teamspeak', so we can give orders + tips more quickly

- It's just a lack of experience that's bothering us rly... Just play some more de_dust2

=> near the end everything went better, we were even winning the war when we became CT. If we
were able to find a 5th member that could replace Badger, we would've won def!
