Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass

Mariko Tamaki (Author) Steve Pugh (Illustrator)

Mulitple Eisner Award Nominee, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass features the outspoken, rebellious, and eccentric fifteen-year-old Harleen Quinzel. With five dollars to her name, she's sent to live in Gotham City after battling a lot of hard situations as a kid. But everything changes when Gotham's finest drag queen, Mama, takes her in.

And at first it seems like Harleen has finally found a place to grow into her most "true true," with new best friend Ivy at Gotham High. But then Harley's fortune takes another turn when Mama's drag cabaret becomes the next victim in the wave of gentrification that's taking over the neighborhood.

Now Harleen is mad. In turning her anger into action, she is faced with two choices: join Ivy, who's campaigning to make the neighborhood a better place to live, or join The Joker, who plans to take down Gotham one corporation at a time.

From Eisner Award and Caldecott Honor-winning author Mariko Tamaki (This One Summer) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Steve Pugh (The Flintstones) comes a coming-of-age story about choices, consequences, and how a weird kid from Gotham goes about defining her world for herself.

"The fast-paced plot enhanced by Harley's trademark style of speech examines the impact of gentrification, and Harley's character development follows a redemptive arc that will have readers rooting for her and her colorful family. A riotous read." --Kirkus Reviews

"Mariko Tamaki's voice is absolute perfection in this altogether refreshing spin on a young Harleen Quinzel's beginnings. Anchored by stunning art by Steve Pugh, readers get to revel in a Gotham City that has drag queens fighting gentrification, a familiar-named practical activist going against an all-consuming corporation, and an endearing delinquent just trying to find the fairy tale that fits her remarkable life. Shantay you stay (on my bookshelf for decades to come), Breaking Glass."
--Sina Grace, GLAAD Media Award nominated author of Iceman

"Breaking Glass is a standout achievement that demonstrates the unique blend of words, pictures, and color that comics offer. With its diverse cast and respect for the essential natures of long-beloved characters, Harley Quinn: Breaking Glass should appeal to comic book newcomers as well as longtime fans." --Foreword Reviews

"A modern, funny, and satisfyingly fresh take on the origin of a superhero revolutionary." - School Library Journal Anna Murphy, Berkeley Carroll School, Brooklyn

Artie with dagger

When we last left Warehouse 13 at the end of Season 3, Saul Rubinek’s Artie had turned evil, resulting from a psychotic episode caused by an astrolabe.  He killed Leena (Genelle Williams) and was attempting to use a dagger to open a jar holding the deadly Chinese Orchid–the deadliest artifact in Warehouse 8–a poisonous flower that would unleash an epidemic that could wipe out half the population of Earth.  Claudia stabbed Artie, attempting to remove the spell that changed him.

James Marsters on Warehouse 13

At the beginning of Season 4 the “sweating sickness” is moving across Europe.  Pete’s mom Jane Lattimer (Kate Mulgrew) sets Claudia (Allison Scagliotti) and undead Steve Jinks (Aaron Ashmore) on a journey into Artie’s labyrinthine Warehouse-world brain, using an artifact owned by Sigmund Freud.  Lindsay Wagner’s Dr. Vanessa Calder appears to them and warns them to leave.  Elsewhere James Masters plays a professor named Sutton, an expert on the Count of St. Germaine–who is supposed to help Pete (Eddie McClintock) and Myka (Joanne Kelly) save the world after they first visit the elegant home of antique collector Charlotte (Polly Walker).

For fans who like episodes focusing on the sleuthing of Pete and Myka, you’ll be happy with this new episode.  And guest star James Marsters, who Buffy the Vampire Slayer fans knew well as Spike, is in prime form with his guest role.  Look for some surprise return characters from past seasons to show up, too.

Claudia and Jinks

Will Artie live?  Will they save the world?  What is James Marsters doing here?  Why wait?  You can watch the entire Season 4 premiere episode “A New Hope” now for free here.

The rest of the TV viewing world?  They get to watch the season premiere Monday, April 29, 2013 on the Syfy Channel.

A Visit to Ono Kine Grindz in Wauwatosa, Just Because All I Can Think About is Sarah Vowell's Visit to Boswell on Friday, March 9.

Today I went out to Wauwatosa to visit our friends at Ono Kine Grindz at 7215 West North Avenue. As I may have mentioned, they're co-sponsoring our event with Sarah Vowell on Friday, March 9 for Unfamiliar Fishes

We're hoping to have an assortment of cookies and other treats from their combination Hawaiian grocery and plate lunch restaurant. It fits together perfectly--Unfamiliar Fishes is a look at Hawaii and how the Puritans and the natives played off each other to create their unique culture.  As you know, Sarah Vowell's event is Friday, March 9, at Boswell. A $15 ticket gets you a copy of Unfamiliar Fishes and entry to the event. Seats are not guaranteed. The store will close at 6 pm to folk without tickets. And we're likely to sell out.

And why are we going to sell out? Because this is an amazing deal--tickets are less than the cost of the book alone. And just to make my point about how this is a perfect match, and maybe convince you that you need to buy your tickets to this event right now, here's Sarah Vowell talking about the importance of plate lunch to Hawaiian culture.

Davd and Guy started their business a few years ago, and have already won a reputation among several of my customers (and also booksellers) as a fave dining spot in the area. Entrees include laulau (steamed pork and butterfish in taro and leaf wrap), BBQ kalbi ribs, and huli huli chicken (house smoked with mango glaze). And Jason swears by the world famous CoCo Puffs.

Let me just say that my cosponsorship attempts with other area businesses have been touch and go. Most of them agree to get involved, but are honestly too busy to really contribute anything. I'm usually just happy to see a sign up (yes, there was one at Ono Kine Grindz) and a Facebook post. When someone acutally participates in an event, like the dynamic Margaret at the poptastic Hot Pop Boutique and Gallery in the Third Ward, it sort of makes my heart sing, but then I get panicky because I wonder if it was worth her time.

But the truth is that though I'd like these complimentary businesses to help get the word out about our events, mostly I just want a reason to feature them at Boswell. In a strange way, I think it's part of our mission to offer shout outs to other vibrant indie stores.

And that's what Ono Kine Grindz is--a vibrant indie store making the Milwaukee area a little bit better. So while you're at the Sarah Vowell event, say hit to Guy, and pick up one of their menus, and try a treat (while supplies last).

The email newsletter went out! Usually this is all consuming for at least a day, but I admittedly used a lot of Stacie's copy and I also started way too early in the morning. Now I hold my breath until we find out if the typos are major or minor.

How Amazon Will Tell You What You Can and Can't Read, by Restricting Sales on the Kindle.

You may have noticed that I do not like to make this blog a place for advocacy. My focus is on, as the blog notes, Boswell and Books, not Boswell and the book industry. If I expand outwards at all, I like to look at community, both the book community (the bookstores, publishers) and the Milwaukee-area community (other great indie stores, area organizations). I think there are better sources for book news, such as Shelf Awareness, Publishers Weekly, The Amercian Booksellers Association newsletter, The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, and so forth.

We all know that much (but not all, despite the stump speeches of some pundits) of the book business is moving digital, and that has created a quandary for both retailers and readers alike, being that information that was free flowing is now tied to an electric device. You already know that we are part of the Google ebooks program (they are cutting back on partners, but our trade association's e-commerce program is not affected) , and many of you have tried buying ebooks on your iPad, Droid tablet or phone, Nook, or Sony reading device. But folks with Kindles (except for the tablet, I'm told) are locked into buying books only from Amazon.

I have compared this in the past to the Sony Betamax, only in this case, it's not like the Amazon products are far superior to others. If you like e ink, the Nook is quite comparable, and if you want other functionality, few are going to rate the Kindle superior to the iPad. But it is still the case that the Kindle has a very high market share. Not every community has a bookstore (like McLean and Eakin of Petoskey, Michigan, for example), who has taken on as its mission the education of their community as to what concentration of business will do to the book business as a whole. And I want to say that there is a market out there for an open concept device that uses e ink.

You can read between the lines of Amazon reports (like many analysts do) that their game plan for many years has been to undercut their competitors (both other bookstores and publishers) and knock them out of their competitive position. Here's Sarah Lucy in Pando Daily ruminating on the problem. And the lack of a brick-and-mortar infrastructure is affecting all kinds of retailers But competitor's negative reactions to showrooming for Amazon is possibly forcing their hand to open their own stores. Sure, one store is just a nice vanity gesture, but won't a chain of them undercut their competitive advantage? Now I'm as confused as you are.

This is straight from a generally positive report in The New York Times: "For Amazon, long-term growth confers two major benefits: the kind of economies of scale enjoyed by Wal-Mart and eliminating or weakening competitors. The book retailer Borders has been forced out of business and a rival, Barnes & Noble, is struggling. Best Buy, the electronics retailer, reported this week that earnings plunged 29 percent, despite higher revenue and a surge of Black Friday sales, because the chain had to cut prices and offer free shipping to compete with Amazon."

Here's what I do know. Amazon turned off the "buy" button on Macmillan titles in response to their decision to move ebooks to an agency plan that leveled the playing field. And now they've taken the ebooks of the distributor/publisher Independent Publishers Group off the Kindle platform, based on not being able to force the terms they want for the product.

This is pure speculation, but one can only guess that other small publishers, when pressured, have already folded to these new terms. But IPG is a publisher that goes their own way. They've made some decisions that have gone contrary to other publishers, like charging freight when other distribution groups absorb it. At Schwartz, I even had them on our vendor of record program, buying their books through a wholesaler. But at Boswell, we looked at the low freight costs and decided it was more important for us to have a direct relationship. We love their model, their portal to hundreds of small publishers, and I have to say, the folks that work there are some of my favorite people in the industry.

Rescuing Regina, The Katyn Order, The President is a Sick Man, and The Tortoise and the Hare, all highlighted at Boswell and Books, are all IPG titles. We have a great event coming up with Jeffrey Gusfield, who has authored Deadly Valentines: The Story of Capone's Henchman "Machine Gun" Jack McGurn and Louise Rolfe, His Blonde Alibi, a history of the aftermath of the St. Valentine's Day Massacre. Gusfield appears on Tuesday, April 10, 7 pm, at Boswell. More on that later.

You may know that there are groups that are suing to end the agency plans, saying that the pricing model is monopolistic, but if this is the case, this model is pretty widespread in other industries, and it's hard to believe that the government would say that this was collusive. On the other hand, Amazon seems to be flexing their hand in a way that recalls Ma Bell and Standard Oil.

I'm not sure anymore that Amazon wants indie bookstores out of business. Who, after all, will showroom books for their electronic readers? You know what I'm talking about--it's when someone hangs out at a bookstore, scanning (or in the old days, writing down) the books they want, only to buy them elsewhere. Amazon even developed a mooching app, to make it easier for these people.

But it doesn't have to be that way. You factor other things into your purchase equations, don't you? Didn't more than one of you say to me that you made the choice not to shop at a certain big box store? And maybe it's time to acknowledge that Amazon is not an online bookstore, it's a general merchandise store that sells books.

And here's the best news for folks who already bought books on their Kindle. You can get rid of your Kindle for another device and still read the books you've already bought, because Amazon has a reading app, just like Google Books. The difference? You'll also be able to read books you bought elsewhere.

Here's Stacie's recommendation:
"When mentioning e ink devices, there's an option for consumers who want
the Kindle's experience but buy indie: the iRiver Story HD. Its price
point is just under $100, it has the best e ink display on the market
and syncs with Google e books."

What's Going On This Week at Boswell (John Donatich), and What's Not Going on This Week (Eleanor Henderson).

Our sympathies to Eleanor Henderson, author of Ten Thousand Saints, who was forced to cancel her appearance at Boswell, due to a death in her family. So no event this Wednesday, February 29. We'll reschedule my short book club talk to open for another upcoming event.

On Saturday, March 3, we'll be hosting John Donatich, publisher of Yale University Press, and author of the new novel, The Variations. I fear hosting authors so early in their release cycle, unless the author is local and has enough of a base for a launch event. But how could we say no? Here are some early reads from some of our favorite authors.

"This book deserves quiet and respectful praise. I was very moved by it. Individual sentences are filled with precision and intelligence. I suppose it is, itself, a variation, in terms of its improvisations on an expected theme, the improbabilities recognized and realized, and its humane take on the world. What a surprising, beautiful book."—Ann Beattie, author of The New Yorker Stories

"Though The Variations documents harsh personal upheavals, it is characterized by great poise and dignity. With his talent for finding beauty in the dingiest corners and insights in the most confounding situations, John Donatich has given us a novel with staying power. It's impossible not to be utterly absorbed by this book."—Joanna Scott, author of the Ambassador Book Award winning Liberation

"Toward the end of this moving and highly unusual novel, its hero -- Dominic -- remarks: 'It is God that is primary, individual, irreducible. All the rest variations on a theme." These variations preoccupy the major characters in this deeply poetic and fiercely imagined book. Novels that approach matters of faith are rarely, and rarely good. But John Donatich has written a beautiful and thoughtful meditation on faith and its fate in the modern world, on listening, loving, living. The Variations plays any number of variations on the themes of love and loss in its myriad forms. It's a novel I will pass eagerly among friends."—Jay Parini, author of The Last Station and The Passages of H.M.

"Catholic writers in America have not found much excitement in theology. John Donatich goes a long way towards repairing that lack with this beautiful novel about a contemporary priest who can't help contemplating the failure of his rundown urban church as his own inner failure…The author has a poet's feel for image, which he confers upon his priest with breathtaking effect…There is genuine suspense, a sense of life or death importance, in this thoughtful novel about what Father Dominic will choose to do as well as about the fates of his parishioners."—Jaimy Gordon, author of the National Book Award winning Lord of Misrule

"A novel of priests, pianists, hysterics, dry drunks, urban decay, and above all the irresistible drive to achieve transcendence, even while you know it can’t be done by trying. When these people pray or make music they know they have to master an art form and give up hope of mastering it at the same time. Their dilemmas are old, universal, perfect. Donatich doesn’t believe in the kind of orthodoxy that obliterates doubts and declares a permanent winner to contests inside the soul. He seems to believe in a continuous struggle between what we can and can’t do on our own, a faith of variations that will keep on changing from one day to the next because it’s alive."—Salvatore Scibona, author of The End

Mr. Donatch will be appearing at Boswell on Saturday, March 3, at 2 pm. He'll be talking about his book, as well as the changing world of publishing.

Saturday Gift Post--Define Spring.

Of course we know that spring is not for another month, but it seems to me that sometime towards the end of February, it's time to take away the winter reading table and start contemplating birds and flowers again.

In Milwaukee, spring isn't when it stops snowing. It's when the snow melts more quickly. And let's just say that we've had a very mild winter. I was looking at last February's sales and we had two pretty miserable days last year. Because the storm was mostly overnight, this week's storm was mostly cleaned up by mid-day, and we had solid afternoon to early evening traffic.

For this year's migration celebration, we brought in more resin birds (yes, yet another assortment), some tin bird houses, bird mugs, and of course our Peruvian (yes, made in Peru) water whistles. Everything is under ten dollars. Folkmanis has a new robin finger puppet that seems aching for the vernal equinox. And more to come later, of course.

So I say, start thinking about the return of birds now. Jason already stocked up on his Adventure Publiciation bird guides.

The Traditional Short Friday Post--A New Shipment of Plastic Bags Means a New Color.

Snow overnight meant that my morning was spent shoveling, though with the warm afternoon weather, I think a decent amount melted by now. I got to work for my closing Friday shift after my traditional bowl of chicken tikka masala soup at The Soup House (on Milwaukee and Michigan) and a lingonberry cupcake from the Milwaukee Cupcake Company on Milwaukee Street in the Third Ward.

We finally got some more Little Thinkers to fill up our case--it was looking mighty thin there for a bit. They are still out of stock on a number of our mainstays, but at least Virginia Woolf, Queen Elizabeth, Edgar Allan Poe and William Shakepeare are keeping company with our other regulars.

The big news, however, was that our new shipments of plastic Boswell bags came in. If you haven't been following the blog, we like to change the color with each shipment. The new bag is Pantone #548, which our color matcher called deep Arctic blue, but I find akin to a dark wash denim.

I'm glad they arrived. We ran out of our orange bags and were halfway through my emergency stash of plain white bags.

Oh, and I also updated my reading log on the blog. I hadn't done so for several months. So many details!

On Peter Cameron, Coral Glynn, The Fifties, and a Whole Bunch of Wonderful Writers, Many of Whom I Haven't Read (Yet).

The setting is a English village in the 1950s. Coral Glynn, a young nurse takes as her charge an elderly dying woman, Mrs. Hart. Also living there is the woman's disabled son, Major Clement Hart and their fiercely loyal housekeeper, Mrs. Prence. Then theelder Hart passes and Coral receives an offer of marriage from the Major.
I don't want to say more than that. I feel I've perhaps given too much away, though there is far more on the copy of the book jacket. What one has to know is the pieces are all in place. Coral, shy and innocent as she appears, is not exactly what she appears to be, nor is the Major.

Coral Glynn (on sale 2/28) is a novel imbued with fifties British style. But it's not the fifties that we think about, Eisenhower-era nuclear families taking new government-built highways from our little boxes to our sparkling new shopping malls.

In England, the country was still rebuilding from a devastating war. Sure, council flats were going up in areas where not everyone wanted to see them. But that wasn't really so much about what was going on the United States--that was more related to the fraying of the traditional class system.

Now I'm no expert, but I've been told that a sharp reading of fifties fiction will indicate that many authors were writing about this, as well as the cultural changes that exploded in the sixties. Things like new ways to think about, not just class, but gender roles and sexual identity. And Cameron has great command of the period, and yet is able to play out more the struggles that were often not quite named in novels of that time. The Major has a past (not giving much away,  it is revealed quickly) with his friend Robin (now married to Dolly), and Coral has been a victim of impropriety at her previous household.

You can tell that Cameron has read widely from this oeuvre (he cites Rose Macaulay, Penelope Mortimer, and Elizabeth Taylor on his website), but from my personal experience, we're talking mostly about the early novels of Barbara Pym here. Pym wrote diligently through the 1950s to little acclaim, gave up, and was rediscovered in the 1970s, later called the most under-rated novelist of the twentieth century. She is one of my favorite novelists, and certainly one of the few adult writers whose novels I have reread. Some of her most lauded works came after she started writing again (I believe Cameron's favorite is Quartet in Autumn), but I have a special love for the early books, that seem in some ways so observant of the future.

But my friend John is an expert on other novelists of this sort. I think about his love for Ivy Compton-Burnett, whose body of work stretches from the twenties (actually there is something published in 1911, but it seems far removed and it's for another writer to explain the gap) into the early 1960s. And several years ago, he turned me on to Elizabeth Jenkins's The Tortoise and The Hare, which I've written about in Boswell and Books. Alas, despite some success selling this novel, nobody has yet to reissue another--perhaps one is on Nancy Pearl's list of Kindle exclusives--a sigh, as an aside.

So now here's the place where I note that the code of honor for bookselling is that we never reveal who purchased a book. That's what opposition to the Patriot Act is all about. But I wrote to Cameron and asked if it was ok, and since I got permission (the way Bunch of Grapes must do when asked what the Obamas bought on vacation) to say that Cameron bought his copy of The Tortoise and the Hare from us. Needless to say, I was quite the giddy schoolgirl about the whole thing.

And like any proud bookseller, I'm pretty sure he was happy with the purchase. For despite being a totally different book in tone, it is one of those very novels written in the fifties that hints at coming changes, seeming at once so very period and surprisingly modern.

I don't know if you've read Peter Cameron's past fiction, but I think I've read everything he's published, except maybe for the second short story collection, which I still regret. From One Way or Another to Someday This Pain Will be Useful to You, Cameron has created a body of work where each work, despite its differences, shares a haunting tone laced with humor, a powerful voice, and a remarkable way with language.

I love them all but I would say the three that have stayed with me the longest are City of Your Final Destination, The Weekend, and the sadly out of print Leap Year, which was written in installments for a newspaper, a la Tales of the City. Now I don't know if Cameron's first novel will hold up twenty years later, and honestly I'm not sure I want to know. I'm scared that if I don't like it at much, it will destroy my good memories. Funny how that is.

That's the beauty of art. When I read Coral Glynn, I announce that despite his having synthesized many, many works of this time period, this is so extremely and individually a welcome addition to the Cameron canon. And the book's coda, which perhaps turned it from a great work into one I wanted to hug to my chest and maybe give a little peck to, is an homage to Pym, whether intended or not.

Last Minute Things to Know About Jennifer Chiaverini's Event at the Public Market

I'm almost off to the Public Market (400 North Water Street) for our event with Jennifer Chiaverini, author of the Elm Creek Quilt novels and the newest, Sonoma Rose. As always, Ms. Chiaverini is offering fabric bundles as a door prize. Thank goodness we just traded emails--I'll be collecting names for the drawing.
We're co-sponsoring the event with Thief Wine. With any purchase of Sonoma Rose, in addition to the latest collectible pin, you will get $3 off any glass (or for designated drivers, bottle) of wine at Thief Market today.

We've just booked our next event at the Public Market for Saturday, May 5, 11 am. It's Jenny Lewis and her new book, Midwest Sweet Baking. She'll be bringing treats.

I continue to put out our new boxes from Poland, and now that we have our new table that pairs Polish books and boxes, I've got several new varieties on display. I've had some very nice comments about our musical instrument themed boxes, but I'm a sucker for stained wood, and this blue floral box may just be my favorite.

Ten Things I Did Today While Trying to Work Off Nervous Energy for Tonight's Event with Nathan Englander.

1. At the moment, I am just about to set up chairs for Nathan Englander's event in conjunction with the release of his acclaimed short story collection, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank. Someone called and asked when the talk about Anne Frank would be. Here are some other things I've been working on.

2. Writing an advance recommendation for Natalie Bakopoulos's first novel, The Green Shore. As is the practice, I will not be saying what I said so far in advance of the book's release, but I can say that I liked it a lot. I was just explaining the hold-for-publication practice of reviewing books, but how the more public presence of trade reviewers like Publishers Weekly and Kirkus has shaken up that model.

3. I've been confirming several events. We're hosting another round of kids' events this spring, capped* by Kate DiCamillo's appearance at Centennial Hall on Tuesday, April 17, 7 pm. We've got several suburban and neighborhood library events lined up as well, at Franklin, Greenfield, Shorewood, and Bay View. If you're an area library with the energy to help promote an event, you should be in touch with me. I'll have the schedule in a future blog.

4. We need supplies! I turned around and we're almost out of our Dunder Mifflin copy paper. We need more Boswell Benefits sign-up sheets and Boswell's Best bookmarks. And we needed to go back to our supplier of pricing gun labels. We ordered replacement labels for the Avery Dennison 210, but they sent us ten rolls fit for the 216.

5. Amie's paying bills. I started signing checks today, but tomorrow bodes for a big pile of signatures.

6. We've got four big conferences in March, and I've been frantic, collating authors, recommended titles, and in some cases, notable new titles. I think everything is open to the public. There's the Green Energy Summit on March 7-9, UWM Spring Writers workshop on March 9-11, the Wisconsin Restarant Show on March 12-14, and the UWM Spring Leadership Conference on March 30. When I take a breath, I'll come back and link to tickets for each.
7. We needed more journals from Paperblanks, and for some reason, address books. I thought you weren't buying any address books any more, but as is the case in these things, you need the right address books. The Paperblanks ones are too pretty to pass up for technology. Alas, some of my frontlist order cancelled without being filled from last year and I was missing many of the newer baroque styles. Never fear, they are reordered.

8. And greeting cards too. We have no overstock of wedding/anniversary/baby. An order just came in from Compendium. Alas, they are cards that need to be price stickered and we can't do that, due to item #4.
9. Print event signs for Stacie! For some reason, our extension cord stopped working for our break room printer. We can't seem to get the wifi to work either. So everything needs to be put on a stick and moved to my laptop. The only problem with that is that my connection also doesn't always work. Oh, and sometimes I'm not here.

10. Oh, and there are something like 648 emails I haven't quite replied to. Someone asked for a photo of the store's interior. Done! Apologies in advance to everyone else (except for the 50 or so emails I did reply to).

*By capped, I sort of mean highlighted, whereas Stacie thought it meant last. It is almost our last kids' event of the season, at least so far.

What's Happening This Week at Boswell? Englander and Chiaverini, Events with the Florentine and In Tandem Theatre, Plus We're Off to UWM's Golda Meir Library.

I get in these weird funks where I don't want to do the very thing that has the most imminent deadline. Needless to say, today's blog should be about what's coming up for the week. It should have posted before 11 am. Instead it's close to 5 and I've just finished making our "Carol Anshaw is coming March 27" sticker for our Indie Next fliers.

This is not a new marketing strategy for us, as we did the same thing for our Nathan Englander February fliers. And Englander is the very person I was supposed to talk about first for this very what's happening post. He's appearing tomorrow, Tuesday, February 21, 7 pm. We went back and bought another dozen copies of What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, due to a solid weekend of Englander sales. Stacy Schiff reviewed the book for the front page of The New York Times Book Review. And Mike Fischer's review ran in yesterday's Journal Sentinel. We should have a very, very, very, very good time tomorrow night.

On to Wednesday, February 22, 5:30 pm, where we mention our Jennifer Chiaverni event for Sonoma Rose, going on with Thief Wine at the Public Market, 400 North Water Street. The book isn't even on sale until tomorrow, so this is what one calls a launch event. Here's more in the Journal Sentinel, whose eat-a-tron suggest Ryan Braun's Graffito for your dining pleasure.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch (also on Wednesday, February 22, at 7 pm), Stacie will be hosting the Florentine Opera is at Boswell for their beloved Opera Insights series, featuring Corliss Phillabaum and the Florentine Opera Studio. And I quote:

"Susannah tells the story of an innocent 19-year-old girl branded as a sinner in a 1950s Tennessee community, bringing to light the tragic consequences of intolerance, betrayal and revenge.

"Maestro Joseph Mechavich, highly praised by composer Carlisle Floyd for his masterful interpretation of the Susannah score, leads the Milwaukee Symphony Orchestra as the Florentine Opera presents this stirring twentieth-century American classic to our audiences for the first time.

"Betty Waynne Allison (Susannah) and Wayne Tigges (Blitch) make their Florentine Opera debuts, while tenors Jonathan Boyd and Rodell Rosel return to the Florentine stage. Chorus Master Scott Stewart unleashes the power of the Florentine Opera Chorus in compelling ensembles and fervent hymns in an enthralling production directed by William Florescu."

Tickets for the March 16 and 18 performances are available on their website.

Thursday, February 23, we're off the Golda Meir Library for a talk by Barbara Brown Lee called "Ruth Grotenrath and Schomer Lichtner: The Artists and Their Art", featuring two books from the Museum of Wisconsin Art, In Celebration: The Life and Art of Ruth Grotenrath and In the Moment: The Life and Art of Schomer Lichtner. This event begins at the earlybird special time of 6 pm.

Lee is the chief educator at the Milwaukee Art Museum. This talk, like many things we're associated with, is very valuable, and yet free. More here.

On Friday, February 24, 2 pm, we are a talk from director Chris Flieller plus a scene preview from In Tandem Theatre's new production of The Chosen. The show opens March 2; here is the calendar of performances.

Welcome to the Week That Was (the One Ending February 18, 2012)--A Bunch of Events, Unseasonably Warm Weather, and The Resulting Bestsellers.

Hardcover Nonfiction:
1. Behind the Beautiful Forevers: Life, Death, and Hope in a Mumbai Undercity, by Katherine Boo
2. The End of Illness, by David B. Agus
3. Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can't Stop Talking, by Susan Cain (third week in the top five!)
4. All There Is: Love Stories from Storycorps, by David Isay
5. Enemies: A History of the FBI, by Tim Weiner

Boo, staff writer for The New Yorker, is winning raves for her "intimate, unforgettable portrait of India's urban poor," to quote Kirkus.  But that's just one of the breakout titles of the last few weeks. Publishing folks love to publish breakout fiction in January and February because the books seem to get more attention, but nonfiction really pops as well. And we'd probably have had William Broad's The Science of Yoga on the list too, if only we and the wholesalers hadn't run out of copies.

Hardcover Fiction:
1. Friends Like Us, by Lauren Fox (who is pictured reading her excellent review in People Magazine)
2. What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank, by Nathan Englander (event 2/21)
3. The Art of Fielding, by Chad Harbach
4. The Snow Child, by Eowyn Ivey
5. Goodnight iPad, by Ann Droyd

One doesn't expect to have so much excitement in the middle of February, but a barrage of great author events mixed with mild weather, gave us a really run week of bestsellers. So great to see The Snow Child picking up some traction. I'm pretty sure I listed Sharon's rec for the book here earlier.

Paperback Nonfiction:
1. Townie, by Andre Dubus III
2. Cupcakes, Cookies, and Pie, Oh My!, by Karen Tack and Alan Richardson
3. Scout, Atticus, and Boo, by Mary McDonagh Murphy
4. Uprising: How Wisconsin Renewed the Politics of Protest, from Madison to Wall Street, by John Nichols
5. Bossypants, by Tina Fey

Nichols's new release is just one of the Wisconsin protest books that we have been selling well at Boswell. I think it's time for a roundup, perhaps on a blog later this week. I assume he is doing an event somewhere for someone. As soon as I figure out the answer, I'll let you know.

All my close-up photos of Andre Dubus III from Friday night's event are a bit blurry. I may have to upgrade to a better camera. The blurriness is perfectly represents, however, the kinetic energy of Dubus, the boisterous of the evening, combined with the emotional intensity of the subject. The publisher tour is pretty much over, but he's appearing at schools all over the place for the rest of the year, and there is still Newtonville on February 28.

Paperback Fiction:
1. Still Life with Husband, by Lauren Fox
2. The Quiet Twin, by Dan Vyleta
3. Ten Thousand Saints, by Eleanor Henderson (event 2/29)
4. The Weird Sisters, by Eleanor Brown
5. The Sisters Brothers, by Patrick deWitt

What's more intense, the battle of the family members (husband versus twin versus sister, versus sister versus brother?) or battle of the Eleanors?  To me, this is an exciting list, as there are a lot of fresh faces, and the potential of knockouts. Perhaps I am still stuck on Townie and all its boxing.

Books for Kids:
1. Cold Cereal, by Adam Rex
2. The True Meaning of Smekday, by Adam Rex
3. Frankenstein Makes a Sandwich, by Adam Rex
4. Frankenstein Takes the Cake, by Adam Rex
5. The Hunger Games, by Suzanne Collins
6. Catching Fire, by Suzanne Collins
7. Hug Time, by Patrick McDonnell
8. Brother Sun, Sister Moon, by Katherine Paterson
9. The Fault in Our Stars, by John Green
10. Mockingjay, Suzanne Collins

I expanded to ten because I thought it would be a little boring to have an all Adam Rex list, but expanding it to ten just gave us a bunch of Suzanne Collins. Hug Time was definitely our go-to Valentine's Day book this year. And it's nice to see that we are keeping up with John Green sales. We've got a great rec from Pam at the front of the store with our display.

Signed copies available of all of the new books from last week's events--Townie, Friends Like Us, Cold Cereal (actually from 2/10 but as an offsite, it's sale wandered into the next week), The Quiet Twin, Scout, Atticus & Boo, and Cupcakes, Cookies & Pie, Oh My! You can also reserve a signed copy for any of our upcoming events.

Saturday Gift Post--New Book Jacket Tee Shirts, Journals, and Coasters

As I think I mentioned previously, I didn't think I'd get our Penguin Classics mugs seven months after they were ordered, but they were certainly welcome. Coincidentally I was in the process of restocking our Out of Print tee selection, and since they had an incentive special, we went a little deeper into the line, bringing in Lolita, The Bell Jar, Ulysses, and A Clockwork Orange. Inadvertently, I also brought in a few of their alternative design for The Great Gatsby--that was just a question of marking the wrong line for reorder.

Because there are so many sizes, we generally don't buy more than two of any sku, and often just one. But what I didn't count on was that the Boswellians would immediately pick off several I bought in singles. If our customers react as warmly to the new selection as our booksellers, we should be reordering soon.

My only beef is that the v-neck tees are a bit inconsistent. Some have a very deep v while others are more modest.

In addition to the tees (and did I mention their Books for Africa program, where a book is donated for each tee sold?), we also brought in a selection of their journals, their coaster set, and an assortment of blank greeting cards.

So this ties in well to our new moderns-from-classics display, which we've had a lot of fun putting together. But that's for another post.

Enjoy Jennifer Chiaverini at the Public Market, and Have Some Wine (Partially) on Us, Wednesday, February 22, 5:30 pm.

If you've been paying attention to our events with Jennifer Chiaverini, you've probably noticed that we've developed a very nice partnership with Patched Works in Elm Grove. Of course that didn't mean we weren't going to challenge ourselves with each event. Our first event was at Boswell, our second was at the Sunset Playhouse, and our third was at the Elm Grove Woman's Club. OK, I confess, it would be sort of lovely to have a formula.

But then I heard that Patched Works was having a retreat in early March, at the Olympia Resort and Spa (March 8-11, to be exact), and honestly, how could Chiaverini not appear at that? And being that the Olympia is so close to our friends Books & Company, it made sense for them to be the designated bookseller. It looks like tickets are still available, by the way. I have learned from Julie and Jennifer that retreats are a big deal for quilters. Who knew?

So that left us with yet another opportunity to break the event mold. I asked Ms. Chiaverini if she had any ideas about a good partnership, and she said to me, the new book, Sonoma Rose, has a wine theme. Can you do something with that? So we went to our friends at the Milwaukee Public Market and asked if they wanted to team up with Thief Wine to put together something different. So that's what we're doing next Wednesday, February 22, at 5:30 pm.

Thief Wine was started by Aimee Murphy and Phil Bilodeau (pictured). At each of their locations (they have another just north of us in Shorewood), they stock 600 wines, and have about 30-35 wines available by the glass in their wine bar. Just in the time that I was setting up this event, Phil had been to Europe and California searching for perfect wines for their operation.

Note the special time. This gives folks working downtown and the Third Ward (and Walker's Point, and the East Side, and the Marquette area, and even beyond, as you are travelling against rush hour traffic) a chance to have relax with Chiaverini before heading home. We're hoping that other attendees will get a sitter for a girls' night out. And then of course there are a good number of Chiaverini's fans who are retired. Her is as broad and diverse as a giant patchwork quilt, though of course, I have noticed that I haven't met too many of her fans who are anti-quilting.

Sonoma Rose is set on a Californa rye farm, during prohibition. Rosa Diaz Barclay has eight kids, but four have succumbed to a mysterious wasting disease. Rosa winds up fleeing the farm (and her volatile husband with her surviving kids, and in her new mess of a situation, is rescued by her first love. Hey, I'm not going to give the plot away to you--let's just note that Rosa winds up in wine country, where she becomes determined to learn the fine (but still outlawed) craft. And yes, she's a quilter.

If you or someone you know reads the series but have yet to meet Chiaverini, you're in for a treat. Her talks are warm and witty, and it's almost as if you're chatting with the gang about mutual friends. Here's more things you need to know.

--Chiaverini will be giving out the commemorative Sonoma Rose pin with every purchase of the new novel.

--We'll be offering a $3 coupon off any glass or bottle (so folks who are driving don't feel left out) of wine at Thief Wine in the Public Market with each purchase of Sonoma Rose, good only on Wednesday, March 22.

--The Public Market offers an hour of free parking with any purchase in their Water Street lot. Most meters in the area are $1.50 per hour, but only run until 6 pm, so that option might be even less expensive.

--The Public Market is located at 400 North Water Street, just under the 794 freeway downtown. For dinner, I don't think you can do better for a sit-down meal than the St. Paul Fish Market. Wednesday is the king crab dinner special! (OK, there are plenty of other great places to go, including the Cafe Benelux across the street. Pannekoeken really are pancakes on steroids.)

We'll have a nice assortment of backlist, but I have learned from these events that most fans have all the older titles. It's really all about the new book, Sonoma Rose, which goes on sales just the day before.

See you there!

Surrender to Decay #RomanticTuesday

The week’s Creative Writing Class Assignment: write a text using language from a pre-existing documents. You can add your own language, erase the language in the original text—do whatever you want. It might be more interesting if you choose a document/text that is “unliterary” in nature—a legal document, a law/decree, advertisement copy, etc.

Consider this a tongue-in-cheek assignment response.

Documents Used: Beverage Menus at Fermenteria and Tired Hands Brew Cafe. The words in italics are directly taken from the source documents

He was half gentleman, not beast

An ever charming sentinel

Marked by his military bearing

She found him to have an awake mind

Full of Blue Eyed Soul

Relentlessly dry sense of humor

She was sanguine in his presence

Reminiscent of aromatic cedar

Gently sturdy

She declared him Lord Invader

Of her precious heart

She was imminently crushable

Satsuma orange

Wildflower honey

A dizzying array

Of delicate

Balanced by a small portion

Of fresh stainless

Together they created a home for hope

A classic combination for deliciousness

Riding the Darjeeling Express

They chose to

Surrender to decay

And dedicate themselves

To the in-house consumption

Of a red blended from a variety of small-format oak barrels

And each other

  1. This is one of my favorites – I love the way that you’ve used the words from the menu to make something new and wonderful. It flows and makes sense – so creative and fun!

Moral phenomenology has enjoyed a resurgence lately, and within the field, a trend has emerged: uniform rejection of the idea that the experience of making ‘direct’ moral judgments has any phenomenal essence, that is, any phenomenal property or properties that are always present and that distinguish these experiences from experiences of making non-direct-moral judgments. This article examines existing arguments for this anti-essentialism and finds them wanting. While acknowledging that phenomenological reflection is an unstable pursuit, it is maintained here that phenomenological essentialism about a certain domain of direct moral judgment, namely direct judgment of obligation and prohibition, is more credible than has been recognized. The positive proposal is to rehabilitate something close to Maurice Mandelbaum’s essentialism, specifically to maintain that direct moral judgment’s phenomenal essence is arguably its felt categorical demand. The key to making this argument is to assume a ‘rich view’ of moral consciousness, the view that phenomenal features of moral judgment might be present even when they are not attended to. This assumption is controversial, but it is warranted by two considerations. First, though controversial, the rich view is intuitively plausible. Second, it reveals that the existing arguments against the kind of essentialism defended here appear to tacitly presuppose an equally controversial – and arguably less intuitive – rejection of the rich view.

Many hold that ordinary race-thinking in the USA is committed to the 'one-drop rule', that race is ordinarily represented in terms of essences, and that race is ordinarily represented as a biological (phenotype- and/or ancestry-based, non-social) kind. This study investigated the extent to which ordinary race-thinking subscribes to these commitments. It also investigated the relationship between different conceptions of race and racial attitudes. Participants included 449 USA adults who completed an Internet survey. Unlike previous research, conceptions of race were assessed using concrete vignettes. Results indicate widespread rejection of the one-drop rule, as well as the use of a complex combination of ancestral, phenotypic, and social (and, therefore, non-essentialist) criteria for racial classification. No relationship was found between racial attitudes and essentialism, the one-drop rule, or social race-thinking; however, ancestry-based and phenotype-based classification criteria were associated with racial attitudes. These results suggest a complicated relationship between conceptions of race and racial attitudes.

World War II Era Records of the World Council of Churches

Historical background
The documents in this collection form a subset of the World Council of Churches archives dating from 1932 to 1957. They were assembled hurriedly and in a very provisional form during the “dark days” of the war by an administration just being born and still in the making. Under such chaotic conditions, some elements were inevitably lost and the original order of the records was difficult to reconstruct. Yet a dramatic story is revealed here, the story of the fledgling ecumenical movement’s thought, policy, and activities in the face of the power of Nazi Germany.
The ecumenical movement represents the effort of churches divided for centuries to re-establish contact with each other, to rediscover their common heritage, to explore possibilities for collaboration, to react in situations of crisis, and to find a new place within society by participating in the foundation of a new world community. To achieve these ends, the churches founded many organizations, including the International Missionary Council in 1910, the Life and Work movement in 1925, and the Faith and Order movement in 1927. In 1938, the Life and Work and Faith and Order movements came together to form the World Council of Churches, which was officially inaugurated in Amsterdam in 1948. Today the World Council of Churches is a worldwide fellowship of churches from different traditions: Orthodox (Oriental and Eastern Orthodox), Anglican, Old Catholic, most mainline Protestant churches (Moravian, Lutheran, Reformed, Methodist), the historic peace churches (Mennonite, Quakers, Church of the Brethren), and some evangelical churches (like Baptist and Pentecostal). Although the Roman Catholic Church is not a member, it participates as a member of the Commission on Faith and Order and sends official observers to all major meetings, such as the general assemblies.
During the Second World War, the World Council of Churches in Process of Formation was instrumental in smuggling several hundred Jews across the borders into Switzerland, actively helped by courageous and inventive young French workers affiliated with CIMADE (Comité Inter-Movement Auprès Des Evacués). Reflecting on this era, Dr. W. A. Visser ‘t Hooft, then General Secretary of the World Council of Churches, wrote "… as I look back on these attempts to help the Jews during the war years, I feel far from proud. I know that I should have done a great deal more."
Not all the sources testifying to this period have been preserved, but what remains is gathered in this collection.

In 2013 the WCC Archives moved in the newly arranged "Espace Archives", located in the west wing of the former Library premises in the backyard of the Ecumenical Centre, Geneva. The WCC Library united its collections at the Ecumenical Institute in Bossey, near Geneva. The WCC archives are divided into many different sections, reflecting the various bodies that have been active in the ecumenical scene during the 20th century. The records of the International Missionary Council and the General Correspondence Archives of the World Council of Churches’ General Secretariat, previously published on microfiche by BRILL/IDC Publishers, are examples of such sections.
The present collection is the first collection from the WCC that is made available electronically. Originally on microfiche, the collection covers the period from 1932 to 1957. The documents consist of newspapers, press clippings, press releases, telegrams, correspondence, minutes, manuscripts, and personal notes. The boxes are organized by 16 countries, mostly European (Austria, Czechoslovakia, England, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Yugoslavia), but also the United States of America, Colombia, and Israel, as well as China and Indonesia. Records relating to Germany account alone for thirty boxes.

Scholarly relevance
These archives have been studied by historians of the Bergier Commission, a commission set up to investigate the role of Switzerland during the Second World War, and many individual scholars. The collection includes correspondence and personal letters of such notable individuals as Dietrich Bonhoeffer, George Bell, Hans Schönfeld, Karl Barth, James McDonald, Georges Casalis, Adolf Freudenberg, Martin Niemöller, Otto Dibelius, Gerhart Riegner, Marc Boegner, and Willem Adolf Visser 't Hooft. The archives document not only the issues and events of the War, but also the beginning years of the World Council of Churches.
The material in this collection is of high value for researchers from different disciplines, such as political and historical sciences as well as church history, theology, ethics, and ecumenical studies. Churches from different parts of the world, like China, Israel, or Colombia, might find material here that help to interpret their own history, by original documents from their own offices and individuals as well as by documented views from other churches and ecumenical bodies.
As Dr. Visser 't Hooft wrote: "The war came. And at first it seemed as if it would at least mean that the clock of ecumenical history would be definitely set back. The staff became smaller and smaller. Many plans had to be cancelled. But right in the midst of war the tide turned. What new contacts between the churches lost in frequency, they gained in intensity and depth. The war did not weaken the council. On the contrary."

Pierre Beffa (former Director of the World Council of Churches Library), revised by Fernando Enns, Professor of (Peace-) Theology and Ecumenical Studies at the Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, The Netherlands.

Searing Meat Does Not Lock in Moisture

May 16, 2011 at 2:00 am 9 comments

By Terry D. Johnson

The idea that searing meat locks in the juices has been around since the middle of the 19th century. According to the theory, searing changes the structure of the outside of the meat, preventing the escape of moisture during subsequent cooking. It’s still a popular technique – despite demonstrably failing at its purported task.

This is a simple enough one to test. Take two cuts of meat, sear one, cook both, and weigh them to determine whether the seared meat loses less moisture than the unseared cut. Numerous experiments have shown that the seared meat typically loses at least as much moisture, and possibly more.

Does this mean you should avoid searing meat entirely? Not at all. Browning (or caramelization) of the meat’s surface will introduce flavors and texture. A good sear is still a worthy component of a good chef’s toolbox – but not because it laminates your prime rib.

    Don’t expect anyone to take your articles seriously if you can’t even spell the most basic words correctly. The definition of ‘Lose’ and ‘loose’ and so completely different it’s obvious that this article was written by someone with a very low understanding of basic spelling and grammar.

    • 2. Chad Upton  |  May 16, 2011 at 7:19 pm

      That’s one way to look at it. The other way is this: the author has a Masters from MIT, teaches bioengineering at Berkley and is a published author with excellent book reviews who just happened to make an error, much like you did when you wrote “and” instead of “are.”

      • 3. Blaise  |  May 28, 2011 at 10:51 pm

      The article doen’t say loose…are you suggesting the author use loose in place of lose? I don’t like my meat loose. haha

    The back end of these computer drives provides the port
    for your cable that goes to mom board and so makes the
    desktop capable to work with this hard drive.
    Despite that organizations regard data residing on internal
    storage mediums as ‘secure enough’, databases and flat files stored on networks or server drives remain vulnerable to unauthorized
    access anytime, albeit their immobility to away from network.

    This consists of downloading and installing quite software correctly to function.

Foal Watch

An Experience You’ll Never Forget

By Clay Fowler

Education isn’t the longest-standing practice on Cal Poly Pomona’s campus.

That distinction belongs to horse breeding.

The longest continuous Arabian horse breeding program in the United States resides on the west side of the CPP campus at the W.K. Kellogg Arabian Horse Center, a university facility named for the cereal magnate who established the breeding program nearly a century ago.

Seeing a foal take its first steps, it speaks to your heart.

Isabel Maskiewicz

Cal Poly Pomona was established in 1938, but Will Keith Kellogg began importing and breeding some of the country’s finest Arabian horses since 1925.

Kellogg’s Pomona winter home and original horse stables are not only still standing, the landmarks have been kept up meticulously and are heavily utilized by the university.

Carrying on Kellogg’s legacy of horse breeding and Sunday horse shows today are college students, faculty and staff. Any CPP student studying any discipline can enroll in the Don B. Huntley College of Agriculture’s most popular course, Foal Watch.

“It was such a magical experience, I wouldn’t trade it for anything,” says Isabel Maskiewicz, an animal science student. “Seeing a foal take its first steps, it speaks to your heart.”

It was fun to have people congratulate me because I felt like it was my baby.

Emma Medina

The educational aspect of the class is robust, but the lasting effect of Foal Watch for many students is tied to the emotional ingredient. Students shepherd a mare through her 11-month pregnancy, culminating in a hands-on experience with the foal’s birth.

The roughly 200 students who take the class ever year are divided into small teams and assigned to care for and monitor one of the 10 to 15 pregnant mares. The class typically ends shortly after the foal’s birth, but the relationship the awe-inspiring experience forages between a student team and its foal often lasts years.

“When I came back to my dorm after the birth, everybody was telling me ‘Congratulations on your baby,’” sophomore Emma Medina says. “It was fun to have people congratulate me because I felt like it was my baby.”

The knobby-kneed foals bounding around the CPP pasture are all descendants of Arabian show horse champions. Bloodlines of current horses extend back to the original horses imported by Kellogg in the 1920s and ’30s.

When Kellogg donated the land that would become the Cal Poly Pomona campus, he shrewdly wrote covenants into the deed that included the continued breeding of Arabian horses of the “highest type, quality, and bloodlines,” continuing to educate the public about the breed, and the tradition of horse shows on Sundays.

Many students maintain a relationship with their foals until they leave the university – the majority of CPP foals are sold at 3 years old – but the experience of bringing new life into the world seems to never leave them.

“This is a different kind of learning,” Maskiewicz says. “It’s a very hands-on experience, and it’s an experience that you’ll never forget. Grades are important, but this is also such an important moment to experience as a person. Spending all these hours with the mare and then seeing the foal come to life, it really illustrates the life lesson that if you keep going, good things will happen.”

The Timeline

Bloodlines are still intact today that trace back to the original Arabian horses that W.K. Kellogg imported nearly a century ago. The lineage of CP Dreamcatcher, a foal born in 2018, can be traced below. She is a direct descendant of Rossana, a mare imported by Kellogg in 1926 from England’s famed Crabbet Park.

Imported by W.K. Kellogg in 1926 from Crabbet Park, England, one of the most renowned Arabian breeding farms in the world, Rossana was so steady and dependable under the saddle that Mr. Kellogg rode no other horse in his later years of riding.

Sources: &

One of seven fillies born of Rossana, Ferdana was eventually gifted to the University of Idaho in 1948 along with two other horses.

Masala was present during the transfer of ownership from the W.K. Kellogg Institute of Animal Husbandry to the U.S. Army-Pomona Quartermaster Depot. Masala participated in both the Gymkhana & Horse Show and “Pomona Day” in 1945 celebrating the 170th birthday of the Quartermaster Corps.

Farala produced 11 foals, and two were added to the prestigious broodmare group. Farala performed in Sunday Shows as a liberty jumper and polo pony and was also used as a riding horse in basic horsemanship classes.

Sanibel spent her lifetime at Cal Poly Pomona, producing 16 foals and winning seven “produce of the dam” classes, in which two or three of the mare’s offspring are shown for reproductive likeness, uniformity and quality of breed characteristics, conformity and similarity.

“We have every expectation that she will be another in a long line of champion show horses produced by CP Princess. So far it’s looking that way.”

Busted Chevrolet Traverse Donuts until it burns down to the ground

So we often get people sharing their “busted ride” find of a car flipped over and ruined beyond repair. Our original intent of busted ride was to highlight really awful cars that in proper economic times drivers would not be driving either at all, or the vehicles would be properly maintained and not be rolling junk heaps.

Having said that, this Westland, Michigan police video is basically too damn good to not share. For unknown reasons the Chevrolet Traverse in question appeared to already have its side curtain airbags deployed (we’d define that as busted) and the driver was doing circles in reverse on a relatively busy road refusing to leave the vehicle.

Be the end of the video the vehicle starts on fire and by our estimations knowing that the airbags were prior deployed, would write this vehicle off as a total loss.

It all started with a vision ten years ago from God. I let this vision sit. I didn’t respond to this vision. Maybe God didn’t want me to respond to the vision at the time, because in order for this vision to happen I would of course need the trials and tribulations of life, alongside the countless blessings and of course to develop that personal relationship with God.

It has taken a long time for me to come to the point that I am in right now. My life has always been a journey. A mishmash-ed journey of the good and bad. But it hasn’t stopped me from living my life, instead I am filled with a growing desire to fulfil this vision that God had presented to me when I was a mere eighteen years old. Freshly out of high-school, going into university with no real life experience except for my parents’ divorce, the silent verbal and emotional abuse from Mr B that made me look into the world through a looking glass, rather than being who God wanted me to be.

I was defined by my life-experiences. I let my life-experiences define me, perhaps in a negative way at the time. I took the self-pity route for a while, then I realised it wouldn’t take me anywhere. That in order for me to change, I had to be filled with the Holy Spirit, and to live in constant companionship with the Lord. I learnt over the years that I do not have to let the dysfunction of my youth define who I am. It is not a cross that I have to carry but a burden that I can take to the Cross because Jesus died for me.

Now as I am facing my twenty-eight birthday in eight weeks time, my little sister reminds me of my age. She says you are getting old. In her twelve year old’s mind, twenty-eight is old, fifty-two is ancient, seventy and above is a dinosaur. But what does old mean? Is there really such a word? Yes, we grow, but we evolve to become who God wants us to be. Some people become wiser faster because of the experiences that they have had to face.

In my case the pain in my youth, the dysfunction of my marriage, and my three children that all died before birth made me the person that I am today. Hang on. Those are only trials that made me the person I am. I’ll take that back.  The pain in my youth+ the dysfunction in my marriage + my three children that all died before birth + my travel experiences + the many blessings from God + my personal faith journey with God + my relationship with God = made me the person I am today, thus equipping me to serve God in the way that he would most want me to serve him.

Life may have been hard, but God equipped me with coping strategies to cope with my losses and he helped me gain new positive wonderful experiences. My endless encounters with people. My encounter with a Christian musician who helped me and connected me to countless others. It was like a domino effect, except in this case the domino effect should be seen as positive rather than negative. It was a catalyst to change, a catalyst to continue towards the vision that God gave me ten years ago, and then every couple of years or so he would remind me of that vision….

But now with all that life experience behind me – how do I go about getting to where I want to be? I often want a quick fix solution – which often ends up being the longer way. God on the other hand has all the time in the world, he is patient and waits for us to be ready. Basically he waits for the harvest to be ready…. And so I feel closer to this vision than I did ten years ago.

I feel closer, I feel like I am making progress. For a long time I thought I wasn’t making any progress but I am making progress. I see the hand of God in my life. I see now clearly that all my experiences helped me to become the woman that God wants me to be.  Preparing to enter a bereavement counselling course this coming year will help me to fulfil God’s vision that he provided me ten years ago. Helping a ministry in Dublin will help fulfil the vision that God gave me ten years ago.  It is all about trusting the Lord for the outcome, but it is also about being patient and learning to be in tune to the Holy Spirit in order for God’s purpose to be fulfilled.

If I didn’t have the experiences I had, the encounters I had – where would I be today? Who would I be? If I had turned my back away from God when my son died four years ago, where would I be today? Would I be in a ditch somewhere? Would I be helping people on the same level that I am now?

If anything there is one thing that I have learnt from God over the last ten years. To have patience. Everything happens for the glory of God’s Kingdom. Everything happens in God’s perfect timing. It is simply about perseverance and not giving up when the going gets tough.

I know that the coming months will be tough, and I am not sure I want to face them. I would rather be there already! But life is a journey, a journey that we have to be willing to walk, and it is by God’s grace that I am able to do what he wants me to do. It is God’s grace that got me through my trials. It is God’s love that comforted me. It is the people that he put in my life to help me see my potential and to help encourage me onto the good path.

And so I pray that I may fulfil the Lord’s vision in his good time.

Recommendations on Air Safety Essay Example | Topics and Well Written Essays - 2750 words

Recommendations on Air Safety - Essay Example This essay involves a NTSB case study, involving Alaska Airlines flight 281 that crashed off the California coast, in the 1990's and touch upon another accident that took place earlier in 1996. The idea of projecting these two cases is to focus on how and what led to the demise of these aircrafts and what can be done to overcome such occurrences in future. All this with an emphasis on the financial implications on such airlines will be studied. The researcher first takes a look at the crash of a DC-9 ValuJet, flight 592 on May 11, 1996, with 110 passengers on board, and then a detailed investigation into the McDonnell Douglas MD-83 Alaska Airlines Flight 261 on January 31, 2000 carrying 83 passengers. In both these accidents there were no survivors. The researcher discusses what are the possible courses of action for maintenance of existing aircrafts, smooth and efficient functioning of ground staff, and better and safer aircrafts. The researcher also describes how can aircraft compa nies manage their existing infrastructure to compete and growth in such volatile atmosphere and can an airline with just a handful of outdated and over flown aircrafts be able to make an impression in the industry. Irrespective of these, no company can run efficiently without considering the cost v/s benefit factor. The researcher needs to consider the implications of the National Transportation Safety Board report on air safety and evolve a plan to correct any such mistake taking place in my airlines. 3.0 Case 1 ValuJet Flight 592 A DC-9 belonging to ValuJet, flight 592 with 110 passengers on board crashed into the Everglades on May 11, 1996, killing all on board instantaneously. ValuJet was created in 1993 with just two aircrafts. Gradually they expanded their strength to add three different series of aircraft: the MD-80, the DC9-30 and the DC9-20. The airline has flights from Atlanta to Florida. When ValuJet began operations, many analysts felt that they would not be able to compete with the other major players in that sector. However, the airline bosses were able to convince themselves that they would not just compete with their rivals but also grab a portion of the dense market segment. The success for ValuJet came from low operation costs, and second hand aircrafts.
