Signing Off on The Fear

The Fear.

Hey folks, told you I'd be back. It's weird, though. I'm technically part of the blogging generation - been there since it started, off and on, though you could argue about when it really started, of course. But now - no offense to you, faithful readers - it seems like more of a chore than it used to. Maybe Facebook and Twitter have made me lazy. I wonder if anyone else feels like this - seems likely. I even kind of "gave up" on Twitter because I just wasn't feeling it. I'm not the guy who has to send texts every ten minutes about where I am and what I'm doing. Admittedly, a lot of the time that's because I'm not anywhere and not doing anything, but still.

One thing I did get to today was signing pages for my upcoming book, Hard Boiled Vampire Killers, soon to be available, yadda yadda, link to Dark Regions Press goes here. I think that's safe to say since I think it would be damn unlikely a small-press would put out a book that didn't have a signed edition. I won't go into the number since I don't think that's been made official yet, either.

Definitely a new experience. One day I get a kinda-heavy package in the mail and look down at a bunch of heavy-bonded sheets of paper with the title of my book, the number, and a little place to sign my name. I sat down and knocked a bunch out this evening, which is why I'm now sitting here doing this. I washed my hands, turned the AC on, locked the dogs out, and got to work.

While my hand was busy with all the signing, my mind drifted - sort of like this blog entry. I thought about a lot of things. How this shit just got more real. How, when I started, I never would've thought I would've got here. How amazing it still is to me that not only do people like this book, they like it enough to pay me money for it and do things like bet their own money on making money off of it. All things I dreamed about but kept thinking in the back of my mind were a long shot at best.

And halfway through, I got The Fear. I'm sure this is far from a unique experience. It's that doubt you get, that makes you wonder, Dear God, what if this is a spectacular failure? What if, when the curtain is drawn back, the fanfare is blown, the lights go up - and the people see right through you and laugh and all of a sudden you just went from being the latest Hollywood blockbuster to The Room?

I took a break, tried to center myself. I thought two things.

One was, it sure as hell is too late to shut it down now. I mean, technically it's never too late to do anything until you're dead or the IRS calls. Too late to do it without wrecking my life and career before it even got started is what I mean. So this Fear is irrational and needs to be seen as such. It's pointless to worry about these things because they're out of my control. The book is written, the contract is signed, it's all going to happen. Really it's about not having a whole lot of control after the books hit the printer and the reviewers start getting their copies.

The second thing was, I got this far on guts and just a shred of belief in myself. How much further could I get if I tried harder, believed in myself more? Maybe I'm too scared of falling into my own ego, trying so hard not to be the guy who doesn't know he's an asshole that I'm not giving myself any credit, not nutting up and just doing it. How many guys run into this Fear and let it stop them in their tracks, how many circle back to the last place they were safe and just stick it out there?

I signed a few more pages, more than meeting my goal for tonight, and figured I should blog about it because, well, I figured maybe someone would want to know.

It's like the SAS's motto - He Who Dares, Wins. Or something like that.

Great Moments in Being Married.

The other day my wife and I had a conversation a lot like this:

Wife: "What's up?"
Me: "Checking out the TV upfront trailers for this fall. Looked like a whole 'lotta nothin', maybe some of those chick shows you like where people make out and cry a lot, until I saw 'The Cape.' Holy shit this show looks awesome."
W: "What's it about?"
JG: "A cop is framed for a crime he didn't commit. He hides out in the sewers, where he's instructed in the art of flipping a cape around so you can do shit like smack dudes in the face and steal someone's beer out of their hand, shit like that. He uses the cape to fight crime and restore his good name as - The Cape! Did I mention he learns this stuff in a secret underground carnival where Keith David is the ringmaster? Motherfucking Keith David!"
W: "Oh, sounds neat."
JG: "Right, I forgot you don't necessarily know who Keith David is ..."
W: "No, I do."
JG: "Huh? How's that? I don't think you've seen any of his movies."
W: "No, but every time you see him in something, you're all like 'Holy Shit! Keith David! Awesome!' You usually applaud."

Got me there, Honey Bunches 'a Love. In conclusion, Keith David is awesome. Accelerate your life.

Dream Journal - A Random Entry.

Still want more content? OK. The other day I had a pretty awesome dream. I was Doctor Who and my companions were the cast of "How I Met Your Mother". Neil Patrick Harris was some mercenary/Han Solo-type I met on some planet where there's always a world war going on. Cobie Smulders was wearing a field-hockey outfit, I guess I picked her up at one of those English boarding schools. Alysson Hannigan was some computer chick from somewhere, she had glasses. Josh Radnor was basically Aldric except a little more douchey. Jason Segel was not there, maybe we were trying to rescue him. All I know is, we were infiltrating this place that looked like a cross between a dungeon and a corporate boarding room - stone walls and finely-polished wooden doors. Hannigan was futzing with some handheld thingy trying to hack the Gibson. NPH made a comment about how it was too quiet. I opened a door and confronted a bunch of dudes in huge Mardis Gras masks set high above their shoulders that made them look like playing-card royalty doing something in front of an altar. And it was on! NPH and Smulders went after the guards (she even had a hockey stick with her) while Hannigan hid behind one of those things people kneel on. I don't know what happened to Radnor, I figure we didn't have any math problems to solve so shut the hell up and go hide with computer chick, Aldric!

And I, resplendent in my magnificent red velvet cape, jump kicked the leader in his big puppet head.

Top that, Moffat.

Car Crash Results in Hip Fracture Verdict for Buffalo Personal Injury Attorney J. Michael Hayes.  A State Supreme Court jury ordered insurance carriers to pay an Orchard Park woman $500,000 for injuries suffered in a two-car crash in the parking lot of the Eastern Hills Mall in Clarence.   The defendant failed to stop or look while crossing a roadway in a mall parking lot, ramming the passenger side of the car.

The collusion aggravated an arthritic hip in the 89 year old woman mandating the surgery. The automobile crash caused a broken arm and required the woman to have a hip replacement two months later.

$200,000 was awarded to her husband for loss of of her services, society and companionship.

Avaya salespeople joined an internal sales challenge that incentivized them for reaching sales milestones. Because of the complexity of their products, they needed a site to help quickly understand where they stood in the contest. Our developer worked with our business analyst to figure out the logic involved for each complex sales invoice and I came up with a layout for the dashboard.

Unlikely partners make for a sassy centerpiece.
The platform for this ensem is a wooden mold? Dont know for sure, but I do know its cool. I decoupaged a napkin around the outside and sanded it down to give it some age.
Love the metal tag. Adds that industrial touch to something sweet.
These ittle fruit crates can be found by the dozens and on the cheap I might add. Attach a domino to the front and crate up your table ditties in a junk beautiful way.
Lovley dahlias in lab bottle. only need a few flowers to make a big impact. Thats good for the old pocket book.
My favs are the lab bottles with the little dot in the center. Youll learn that I have a passion for all things round.

I adore simple centerpieces for every day ala junk of course. Lab bottles, a wooden disk of sorts, fruit baskets, and a retro coffee pot help make a house a home.

Did you make this?

Timber Decay

Few people would dispute the prudence of identifying the nature of a problem first, before throwing money at a solution. Yet homeowners continue to spend vast sums on unnecessary chemical timber treatment that would be better directed towards appropriate repair and improved maintenance.

Misdiagnosis of fungal and insect attack is rife and the mention of ‘death watch beetle' alone can induce panic. Inactive woodworm holes are re-sprayed each time a property changes hands and excessive treatments applied to mild decay that poses no real threat.

Additionally, surveys for mortgage lenders are frequently undertaken by remedial treatment contractors with a vested financial interest in their own recommendations. Therefore, always question the need for treatment.

The Cause:

There are a variety of insects that burrow into and weaken timber, but not all of them require any chemical attack. In fact this can sometimes be pointless.

There are also many types of fungi, some wood rotting; some harmless. Some fungi can even help identify a building defect as they will only germinate if copious amounts of water are present. As with wood boring beetles, they can sometimes be often misdiagnosed resulting in the wrong solution being recommended.

The Remedy:

72 544x376 Normal 0 false false false EN-GB X-NONE X-NONE

Sadly it only takes a minor and unnoticed building defect to allow water to become trapped in the building fabric and replicate the conditions of that of the forest floor.

Because dry timber will not be vulnerable to attack, successfully arresting decay involves eliminating moisture and promoting drying - for example, rectifying faulty gutters, providing extra ventilation and possibly isolating vulnerable timbers. Decayed timber only requires removing as far as is necessary to carry out repair. The eradication of dry rot in particular is best entrusted to independent specialists.

Chemical treatments just address the symptoms of decay, not the causes. They should only be used where an attack is serious and dampness will be hard to eliminate quickly or effectively. Spray-, brush- and injection-applied products are amongst those available. Some are restricted for use by specialist applicators

Timber Framed Buildings

Some of the oldest and most interesting buildings in Britain are timber framed. The majority of timber framed buildings are listed and therefore statutory protected. The longevity of historic timber framed buildings means they are highly complex and individual structures.

Timber framed buildings are vulnerable to decay, particularly where impervious materials have been introduced. Structural integrity can be put at risk as a result of the introduction of impervious materials.

Unfortunately timber framed buildings are not always understood when there condition is being assessed. this can lead to inappropriate recommendations that result in unnecessary, damaging and irreversible work. Timber framed buildings are special and deserve to be surveyed in a manner that befits their age and historical value.

Loving this make-up range as it’s varied and has something for everyone. This simple look is easily achieved with just a few key items and the red lipstick finish is ultimately the classic look.  Lord & Berry make-up range sponsored the fashion brand for LFW Pringle Of Scotland reflecting the fun and easy attitude towards wearable fashion that lasts and timeless.

The teatum jones show was such a delight and i loved every single piece of clothing at this show. There’s the ethical human story that consistently inspires these designers.  This season the designs were created around Agnes Moirragh Bernard who founded Foxford woollen mills  (wonderful human story) offering an individual style while using aztec prints and natural fabrics. Clothing is something we should carefully buy for its sense of timeless fashion and longevity.  Orly Made in LA created the most wearable nail design I’ve seen this season.

Writing & Marketing Tweets from December 26, 2012

Yesterday was a good day for THE RUBY BROOCH. This morning the story is ranked #17 in the top 100 Amazon time-travel romances. I wanted to stand up and give someone a high-five as if my darling had scored the winning goal. After years of seeing the story as an extension of me, it is now separate and apart. I’m in the stands cheering it on, doing what I need to do to help it achieve success, but Kit’s story is finding its way into the hearts of readers and they are sharing her message of hope and finding joy in spite of circumstances with their friends and families.
As writers we passionately want our stories to touch people in a memorable way. We hope the hours we spend writing and rewriting, telling and retelling will resonate with readers, but we never know. I read somewhere that if the writer feels the emotion, the reader will too. There have been writing sessions when I’ve been unable to see the screen through the tears. If that emotion translates to the page, then the reader should be blurry-eyed, too. I’m not sure why writers want to make readers cry. I guess it’s for the same reason we want them to bite their nails and turn on all the lights in the room. We want them to be emotionally invested, to be participants in the journey, and not just entertained by the words on the page. Pouring that emotion out day in and day out is exhausting, but isn’t that why we write—to get that writer’s high much like a runner. We want to feel that sense of accomplishment, knowing we’ve done something no one else could do. No one can run that mile for you and no one can tell your story.
I hope today you run your mile with all the joy you can muster. Savor the accomplishment, but remember, tomorrow you have to do it all over again. But you will be stronger and more assured of your abilities to do amazing things.

Restos. du Coeur

It seems ludicrous to penalise people who fish perfectly edible food out of the likes of Iceland’s bins.  Surely the main problem is that the supermarkets have so much waste in the first place.

When I lived in Bordeaux a number of years ago, I worked with a charity known as Les Restos du Coeur (literally translated as Restaurants of the heart), an organisation originally set up by the actor and comedian Coluche in the 80’s to help feed the homeless.

They use empty restaurant premises and cook and serve food to the homeless; perfectly edible food from supermarkets which would otherwise have been thrown away because it was a couple of days before the sell-by date.

We picked up the food from the supermarkets and delivered it to the restaurants where we cooked it.  The supermarket got free publicity (since it would otherwise have thrown away the food) and the homeless got fed.  It’s called a win-win situation.

There are now almost 2,500 Restos throughout France – others have been set up in Belgium and Germany.

Perhaps we should set up a similar institution Instead of prosecuting people for ‘stealing’ food that should never have been dumped in the first place.

Families push for prison reform bill in Arizona

Prison Reform Bill

TUCSON, AZ (KOLD News 13) - A Tucson organization is calling for prison reform and many families are supporting the cause.

“This is a system that is tearing apart families and we are not getting any benefit from it," said Caroline Isaacs. "There’s no increase in public safety, there’s no reduction in crime.”

Isaacs is the Program Director for the American Friends Service Committee, the group pushing for House Bill 2270 to move through the legislature.

House Bill 2270, sponsored by Representative Walt Blackman, R-Snowflake, would allow inmates to earn more credit to be released faster.

Prisoners serving a sentence for a nonviolent, non-serious offense could earn one day off for every day served.

Right now, prisoners can earn a day off their sentence for every six days served. That means he or she must serve at least 85-percent of their sentence, regardless of the crime or services and programs they may have participated in.

According to the Office of Justice Programs, Arizona has the 4th highest incarceration rate in the country.

“It’s just crazy to me how many families are being separated and torn apart because of the insane sentences that people are getting," said Desirae Peil.

Peil’s daughter, Aurora, wears a locket around her neck with two photos of her dad, Christopher Peil.

Officers tried to stop Peil because he was going the wrong way down Oracle Road in April of 2018. His BAC was 0.275.

“We both went out and made a dumb mistake, he was out on parole and went back to jail," said Peil.

Peil was sentenced to ten years behind bars for aggravated DUI. It was his second in seven years, following previous charges he already served time for.

“Yes, he’s made some mistakes and yes there are consequences but the severity of the consequences are not fair and don’t fit the crime," said Peil.

Isaacs said the state is behind the curve when it comes to incarceration and argues the accountability measures are ineffective.

According to the Fiscal Year 2019 Executive Budget for State Agencies, the department of corrections is the third largest state agency budget, with more than $1.1 billion in funding.

“This isn’t a liberal issue, it’s not a conservative issue, it’s something where everyone meets in the middle and says something isn’t working," said Isaacs. “Are we addressing the problem that caused the person to commit that crime, or are we just warehousing them and making them worse? Unfortunately its the latter.”

Isaacs said Representative John Allen is blocking the reform bill from being heard in the Judiciary Committee. The deadline for bills to be heard in the house they were proposed in is Friday, Feb. 22.

“Not just for my husband and my family, but for all the other families out there. It would help so many people and reunite so many families and it just, it needs to happen," said Peil.

Enter The Dragon A page in Mystery

Dragon Rock. A “shape shifting Rock” or Batu Hidup (growing and changing) of the Naga Sisit Emas or Dragon with Golden scales is an underworld being seen as a guardian of the aquatic realm. The dragon faces North East looking toward Miri or Sabah, even China.

For most, Kampung Santubong is just a sleepy fishing village, straddling the delta of the Sarawak river. But Santubong is so much more than that; it is in fact a fascinating site of mysterious rocks embellished by magical legends and lore. One legend tells how Dato’ Merpati, the renowned ancestor shared by the Sarawak Malays and the Sarawakian Natives, was fighting another regional leader for supremacy. His opponent decided to play dirty and cursed Merpati’s beloved son by turning him into a dragon or Naga. You can meet the petrified remains of this dragon on the beach of Santubong village to this day. According to local lore, this rock is a Batu Hidup (Living-stone) which can transform itself at will to reveal its true form, though only to the lucky few. What distinguishes the typology of these rocks is that a Batu Hidup is a petrified rock, not chiselled nor carved but moulded and therefore believed to be imbued with supernatural powers such as metamorphism.

        Dragon Rock at a resting stage, with marks of vitrification and some faded Indic letters possibly a spell for protection.

Many of the mysterious megalithic sites in Sarawak are associated with Dato Merpati’s family, from the petrified crocodile of Jepang, and the mythical Golden Dragon king rock, to the menhir and idols of Bongkissam and Bukit Maras, the Batu Gambar, stretching as far as the sacred Kelabut rock of Dato Nyikot in Kampung Tembawang Taup, Serian. According to one version of the famous legends concerning Datu Merpati and his family, the renowned Santubong or Pasir Kuning hero known as Dato Merpati Raden Gusti, son of Rajah Jawa Parbaita Sari, was in fact the first Majapahit King, Gusti Raden Wijaya, son of the Singahsari Monarch.

  The Batu Buaya or Crocodile Rock lurking near the edge of the river mouth of Kuala Batu Buaya, beheaded by Dato’ Merpati Jepang, with his legendary sword of Langkapura.

His first wife Dato Permaisuri was from Johor. They lived in Santubong and bore the offspring Jepang, Putri Bulan and Maharaja Naga Sisit Mas (the Dragon Emperor with Golden scales). Later, Dato’ Merpati Jepang married a Bidayuh lady name Suhom with whom he had a son called Dato’ Nyikot.

In Santubong, the unique complex of Megalithic sites stretches from inland Sungai Jaong, Kampong Santubong, which includes Bongkissam and the village coastal sites, up to the area of Pantai Puteri. The series of sacred rocks in Santubong act as guardians of the coastal site and protectors against unseen disaster, including a giant cursed crocodile represented as a monstrous villain to be feared. This Batu Buaya is situated at the mouth of the river Santubong. According to legend, it has lain there since being petrified by Dato’ Merpati Jepang. It is told that, once upon a time, Santubong was attacked by hundreds of crocodiles. Merpati Jepang recognised the challenge that he faced, but would have rathered to die fighting these monstrous crocodiles than to run away. So, he took the legendary sword of his family, the Sword of Langka Pura (which many believe to have been on Java), called Segentang Lada and slayed the monsters, beheading the biggest crocodile, 9 fathoms in length, with his supernatural powers. The giant crocodile’s head plunged into the muddy confluence of Kuala Santubong and the tail was thrown across to Sungai Mas, where each was instantly metamorphised into stone.

But one must tread carefully around it. According to local octogenarian, Hamid bin Ramli, both rock sites are protected by a powerful spirit queen. Once, he was warned by this tutelary spirit in the shape of an old woman standing near the dragon stone who told him never to go near either of these rocks in bad weather. To do so would be to risk injury even death. Villagers often warn their children to stay away from these rocks – perhaps a clever way of parenting via mythology, ensuring that the children stay away from the treacherous shores. Though unfortunately, in the last couple of years there have been several deaths near these rocks, many attributed to crocodile attacks. In fact, the last Sultan of Sarawak, Sultan Pengiran Tengah, reportedly died at the Batu Buaya, murdered by kris around 1641 AD.

A monument to him stands in Santubong, restored in May 1995.

The bad omens of death from the cursed stone of the Batu Buaya are associated by the traditional fishing community with Kempunan, or ponek locally.  This is the taboo that stems from an unsatisfied craving or an unrealised desire.  Anyone who fails to complete an action, in taking food or drink or even in the case of sexual desire unfulfilled, must avert this bad luck, for example by touching the food. To avoid the danger of Kempunan attack, pregnant women and the vulnerable are not allowed to go near the river. A journey to the river must be accompanied with eating rice to avoid becoming crocodile food and there is also a taboo against mentioning crocodile at all, even if one is directly in view. The kampong folks give offerings of food and drink to the Batu Buaya to avoid crocodile attack. There are even occasional findings by the villagers of gold and ceramic cultural deposits near the Batu Buaya Megalithic site. Hence, any plans to remove or destroy the rocks will not only destroy the heritage but also will incur the wrath of unseen spirits and result in disastrous consequences.

The petrified Dragon King with Golden Scales or Maharaja Naga Sisit Emas is different from the crocodile rock. The Batu Buaya is the villain in this Sarawakian saga, while the Naga or Dragon King is a hero just like his brother Merpati Jepang. Hence, the Dragon Rock has a role as a tutelage icon or guardian while the crocodile rock is an evil guardian or penunggu in Malay. One epic story tells of the beautiful queen, Dato Permaisuri, who was kidnapped with her daughter while her husband and son were on duty somewhere else. She was abducted by the Yuan Mongols as a war prize and threatened with rape by their leader. But she managed to fool the Mongol and fought him off with her Majapahit dagger. So her son, the Dragon, sent the Permaisuri to a place near Miri, where his sister would be married to a Prince of Temasek, son of Parameswara Sang Nila, as a great queen. In the meantime, Dato’ Merpati was en route to Santubong at Kampong Batu Buaya only to find it deserted and that his wife and daughter had been taken by the Mongol army. He went to the island of Natuna. His wife and daughter were not there, but he found a brass canon called Bujang Timbulan. Finally, the heroic Dragon King led his father to Brunei safely for a family reunion But before he disappeared to his home in the ocean, he offered his father some golden scales or Siskin Emas.The gold was not to be sold otherwise he warned that those who sold it would become poor. Instead, they were only to be used to invoke the dragon’s help in time of dire need. It is rumoured that some of these golden scales are still in the possession of some of Dato’ Merpati’s descendents, to this day.

The Batu Hidup are not the only features of Santubong’s megalithic mystery. In the same area as the Batu Buaya and the Dragon Rock there are about twenty boulders covered in rock carvings of various shapes and sizes. Archaeologists have attributed these to various sources, perhaps ancient Hindu or Chinese pilgrims or maybe even sailors. This fits with archaeological evidence from ceramics which shows that there was a maritime trade network linking China with the Malay-Indonesian Archipelago, from the first centuries of the Common Era. In Island Southeast Asia, these trade links developed first in south Sumatra, centred on what became Srivijaya and in east Kalimantan, in the 4th Century, at Kutai. Santubong, strategically located on the South China Sea, also is one of the most important early historical sites of trade and Indianised civilisation in Borneo and southeast Asia, more broadly.

The Sarawak River and its delta have numerous features which would have stimulated a thriving trading entrepot in ancient times - it is rich in minerals, gold, silver, iron, cinnabar, camphor, incense wood, ivory, diamonds, rare timbers, tortoiseshell and rice. In fact, gold, copper and mercury from the Sarawak River basin were essential to this trade. Therefore Santubong could be regarded as one of the oldest civilizations in Southeast Asia, just like ancient Palembang, Kutai and Kedah. My own research of these motifs suggests that these carvings are perhaps proto- Semitic or Middle Eastern in origin. Whatever the origin of these inscriptions and petroglyphs is, most importantly they represent a very real link

1. Chinese seals, Fu Lu related to a country which pay tribute to ancient China in an island called Pu Lo Chung/Zhou and Po’ni, the Santubong site. Fulu is also an ancient Taoist talisman to summon spirits and protect spirits and protection against diseases.    2. A magical diagram (Proto Semitic), for safe passage to the river and sea as none can predict when it’ll be safe to embark a journey.3. Carved Ancient Sabean(Yemenite), letter Heth or H, concerning meditation, spirituality and wisdom or Hikmah. 4. Proto Semitic mystical letters, may represent astronomical deities for conjuration of celestial beings.5. An Iron Age Proto Semitic alphabet like in the Gezer Calendar, also carved on lime stone rock. Here the letters L-H-D are designated meaning

L-Had-ah relating to sharpen (sword). These characters are repeated in South Arabian script on another rock with the sword petroglyph nearby.6. A carved face with long hair and a chignon, perhaps representing a tutelary deity.7. This megalithic spiral petroglyph is unique as it was 'pecked' onto a boulder facing the carved face and Mount Santubong. It may be a sun shrine. 8. Resembling the Magi, the wise men from the East, the Star of Bethlehem which occurs around Christmas. In the Southern Hemispher, it's called the December Solstice.9. The bygone practice of splitting boulders where a fire is lit on the chiseled marks and then water is splashed onto the blazing rock. Subsequently, the rapid tightening causes the stone to split.

With people who lived thousands of years before us. Think of it as an ancient form of graffiti, a human being just like you, sending a message to us: I was here! We don’t know who they were, or what they were doing in this beautiful land of ours but they left a mark for us to ponder and connect.

We often travel thousands of miles and spend thousands of dollars to find adventure and mystery. Often, we forget the wonders that are right under our noses. Santubong is such a place. We need to do a lot more to preserve and publicize these sites and it is people like you and me who can make a difference. If these sites are frequented by many visitors, their fame will grow as will the need for the local authorities to protect them. Many of the rocks have already been destroyed by the construction of the waterfront. So next time you are facing another lazy Sunday afternoon, hop in your car and drive down to Santubong. Ask the locals for directions to Batu Buaya and walk around these magical boulders as the sun sets. Imagine the heroes, ancient pilgrims, iron-workers, traders and sailors who trod the same path as you, maybe even catch a glimpse of the shape- shifting dragon and, believe me, you will feel that there is no better place to be.

Tunku Hilda is an archaeological researcher, currently studying ancient manuscripts, epigraphy, arts and culture of the Nusantara. Previously she was a researcher at Centre of Global Archaeological Research with USM, Penang. She is actively engaged in Santubong and Bujang Valley’s Iron Age material cultures, ancient settlement pattern, temples architecture, ceramic typology and iron smelting technology. She was both a product of Bujang Valley and Bujang Senang, growing up listening to the stories of magical ancient kingdoms, dragons, petrification and demonic crocodiles from both sites.

Rangers Claim Loss In High-Spirited Game

Kitchener, ON: The London Knights were in town on Friday night to play the Rangers at The Aud. The back-and-forth affair saw a total of 14 goals and 24 penalties. The Knights were up 7-6 going into the latter half of the third before sealing the deal on an empty-netter to win 8-6.

Donovan Sebrango had two goals, Joseph Garreffa had a goal and three assists, and Greg Meireles had three assists to extend his point streak to 13 games.

Lucas Pfeil stopped 24 of 31 in the loss.

Full Game Report

The Knights were the first to strike during the Midwest division battle. On a penalty kill, Liam Foudy found himself on a breakaway and slid his 33rd goal fo the season past Lucas Pfeil to make the score 1-0 at 6:58.

At 8:13 Mike Petizian took an interference penalty to give London their first powerplay of the night. On the ensuing powerplay, at 8:20, Alex Regula scored his 9th of the season to make it 2-0 for the visitors.

Joseph Garreffa single-handedly got the Rangers back into the game at 13:54 when he deked around Knights defenders and scored his 26th of the season to cut the deficit in half, 2-1.

Josh Nelson took a slashing penalty at 14:38 that produced a number of high-quality chances for the Rangers, including a diving save by Joseph Raaymakers, Kitchener turned it over at their blueline for the second time and London scored their second shorthanded goal, this time by Alex Formenton, to make it 3-1.

It was at 18:04 that the Knights extended their lead to three when some nifty passing by Formenton and Nathan Dunkley found Kevin Hancock wide-open on Pfeil’s right side and the centreman easily netted his 50th goal of the season and it was 4-1.

At the end of the first period, the Rangers were outshooting the Knights 15-9.

The Rangers came out with heavy momentum to start the second period and at 1:13, off a cross-ice pass from Garreffa, Donovan Sebrango sniped his sixth goal over the glove-hand of Raaymakers to cut the Knights lead in half, 4-2.

Reid Valade also earned an assist on the goal.

Sebrango wasn’t done there. This time, Greg Meireles and Jonathan Yantsis found the rookie defenseman on Raaymakers left-side and number 37 went top corner again to make it 4-3 at 7:31.

The assist by Meireles extended his point streak to 13 games.

At 9:08, Jonathan Yantsis netted his 42nd goal of the season from assists by Meireles and Damiani and just like that, it three unanswered goals by the Rangers to tie it up 4-4.

Between 12:19 and 14:30, Bouchard, Adam Boqvist, and Dunkley scored for the Knights to quickly restore their three-goal advantage and make it 7-4 London going into the third period.

The Rangers were outshot through 40-minutes, 24-23.

Kitchener came storming out of the dressing for the third period and that resulted in two quick goals for the home team. The first goal was by Rickard Hugg, his 30th, and the second was by Ryan Stepien, his eighth and just like that, it was 7-6.

With three seconds left in the game, Foudy scored his second to seal it for the green and white, 8-6.

The Rangers outshot the Knights 33-32.

The Rangers next home game is on Sunday, March 3 at 2:00 pm vs the Guelph Storm. The next road game for Kitchener is on Wednesday, March 6 at 7:00 pm versus the Hamilton Bulldogs.

Toronto, ON – The Ontario Hockey League today announced the Top OHL Performers of the Month for regular season games played in February 2019, including Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds forward Morgan Frost, London Knights defenceman Adam Boqvist, Saginaw Spirit rookie Cole Perfetti, and Kitchener Rangers goaltender Luke Richardson.

Vaughn OHL Goaltender of the Month – Luke Richardson (Kitchener Rangers):

Nineteen-year-old Kitchener Rangers netminder Luke Richardson is the Vaughn OHL Goaltender of the Month for February, going 8-1-0-1 with a 2.55 goals-against average, .916 save percentage and one shutout over 10 games. Richardson helped the Rangers climb into fifth in the Western Conference with a solid month of February. He suffered just one regulation loss, starting and finishing the month with steady performances. Richardson earned third star honours on Feb. 1st when he stopped 34 of 35 in a 6-1 win over the visiting Owen Sound Attack. His third shutout of the season came Feb. 10th when the Rangers blanked the Sarnia Sting 1-0 on the road as Richardson turned aside all 23 shots he faced. After making 28 saves in a 5-2 win over the Mississauga Steelheads on Feb. 24th, Richardson made 40 saves to close out the month, defeating the same Steelheads by a score of 3-2 on the road this past Wednesday morning as he secured a career-high 24 wins on the season.

A Barrie, Ont. native, Richardson owns a 24-17-2-1 record with a 3.45 goals-against average, .892 save percentage and three shutouts over 44 games this season. Now in his third full OHL season, Richardson was originally Kitchener’s fourth round pick in the 2015 OHL Priority Selection from the North Central Predators Minor Midgets. Though he remains undrafted by an NHL club, Richardson attended camp with the Boston Bruins in 2017.

OHL Player of the Month – Morgan Frost (Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds):

Philadelphia Flyers prospect Morgan Frost of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds is the OHL Player of the Month for February, leading the league with 25 points including six goals and 19 assists over 12 games to go with a plus/minus rating of plus-7. Frost climbed into the OHL scoring lead, becoming the league’s first 100-point scorer while also reaching the 300-point milestone on his OHL career on Feb. 22nd.

A 19-year-old product of Aurora, Ont., Frost leads the league with 66 assists and 103 points over 53 games. His 304 career regular season points (106-198–304) are the sixth-most in the storied history of the Soo Greyhounds. He is one of just five players in franchise history to record multiple 100-point seasons. Frost represented Canada at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, leading the team with eight points (4-4–8) over five contests. Originally a fourth round pick from the Barrie Colts Minor Midgets in 2015, Frost was Philadelphia’s first round (27th overall) pick in the 2017 NHL Draft.

OHL Defenceman of the Month – Adam Boqvist (London Knights):

Chicago Blackhawks prospect Adam Boqvist of the London Knights is the OHL Defenceman of the Month for February, leading all rearguards with 19 points including six goals and 13 assists over 13 contests. Boqvist registered six different multi-point performances and was a big contributor on the power play for the Midwest Division-leading Knights. He put up a goal and an assist in a 4-2 win over visiting Kitchener on Feb. 2nd before posting a goal and an assist in a 6-3 victory over visiting Owen Sound on Feb. 8th. Boqvist had another three-point outing with a goal and two helpers on Feb. 10th in Sault Ste. Marie and replicated that production for a third time in the month of February in an 8-5 win over Erie on Feb. 17th. Boqvist carries a six-game point streak into the month of March. He had at least one shot on goal in each of his 13 February contests.

An 18-year-old from Falun, Sweden, Boqvist sits sixth among OHL blueliners with 54 points (17-37–54) over 47 games. The eighth overall pick of the 2018 NHL Draft, Boqvist has recorded 29 of those 54 points since Jan. 1st. The right-shot defender represented Sweden at the 2019 IIHF World Junior Hockey Championship, recording four points (1-3–4) over five games. The Knights selected Boqvist with their second round pick in the 2017 CHL Import Draft.

OHL Rookie of the Month – Cole Perfetti (Saginaw Spirit):

Saginaw Spirit forward Cole Perfetti is the OHL Rookie of the Month for February, leading all freshmen with 21 points including 10 goals and 11 assists over 12 games to go with a plus/minus rating of plus-16. The 17-year-old Perfetti made Spirit history, setting a single season record for rookie goals in a season on Feb. 23rd when he scored a pair in a 6-3 road win over the Hamilton Bulldogs. Perfetti’s 28th of the season pushed him ahead of Jan Mursak (2007) in the franchise record book. The milestone game was one of four three-point performances from Perfetti in February. After scoring in each of his first two games of the month he recorded three assists in a 4-1 road win over the Windsor Spitfires on Feb. 7th. He continued his strong play on Feb. 13th, putting up a goal and two assists in a 9-2 win over visiting Flint. Perfetti also had a three-point night on Family Day, earning second star honours with a goal and two helpers in a 7-6 shootout loss to the Sarnia Sting. The big night in Hamilton was one of two multi-goal efforts in February, joining a two-goal showing on Feb. 21st in Barrie. Perfetti registered points in 11 of his 12 February contests, becoming the first 30-goal rookie scorer in Spirit history with his overtime winner on Sunday in Oshawa.

Book Notes - Kevin Sampsell "This Is Between Us"

This Is Between Us

In the Book Notes series, authors create and discuss a music playlist that relates in some way to their recently published book.

Previous contributors include Bret Easton Ellis, Kate Christensen, Kevin Brockmeier, George Pelecanos, Dana Spiotta, Amy Bloom, Aimee Bender, Myla Goldberg, Heidi Julavits, Hari Kunzru, and many others.

Kevin Sampsell's novel This Is Between Us is a mosaic of captured moments, a book that brilliantly builds an intricate portrait of a relationship.

Eugene Weekly wrote of the book:

"This Is Between Us is written in the same flash fiction, micro-chapter style as Kevin Sampsell’s debut memoir A Common Pornography. The Portland author is a master of the form, building rhythm and stitching together narrative using memory like a photo album."

Stream a playlist of these songs at Spotify.

In his own words, here is Kevin Sampsell's Book Notes music playlist for his novel, This Is Between Us:

Some people have said they don't really think my new novel, This Is Between Us, is really a novel at all. There's no plot, some have said. The chapters (over two hundred of them) are too short, some argue. The main characters (a couple trying to forge a life together) don't even have names, the critics cry! Well, okay. Some of that may be true. But this book wasn't meant to be an ordinary novel. I wanted to create something new that was inspired by poetry, diary entries, confessional outbursts, hot sex, and love songs. Here are some musical footnotes to This Is Between Us.

pg 25: It's funny when you're getting to know someone and you're sort of judging their disposition. Like, they're "too cheery" or they're "too depressed." In this chapter, the couple compare their dark sides and bands like The Swans and Psychic TV are mentioned. Even though it's not as musically dark as a Throbbing Gristle track, I've always loved this song by Genesis P. Orridge's band. It's a song about the death of original Rolling Stone, Brian Jones.

pg 30: In this chapter, we find out which old pop stars (and the very specific looks) the couple nostalgically pine for.

For her, it's David Bowie.

David Bowie

and for him, Linda Ronstadt.

Linda Ronstadt

pg 43: It's a universal and romantic notion for you and your lover to have "your song." When I mention Fleetwood Mac in this chapter, I was thinking about this song (which always makes me cry).

The LL Cool J song is "I Need Love," which is maybe one of the worst love songs in the world (so, yeah, I'm guilty of using it ironically). Side note: I rapped the first part of I Need Love at the end of my Powell's reading from This Is Between Us in November. I was doing it a cappella and did not exactly nail it.

pg 53: In this chapter, the couple enjoy the movie, Say Anything, even though they're in different cities (they synch their DVD players and comment on the film over the phone). For me, besides the classic boom box scene with Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes," the best musical in the film is when Lili Taylor's character plays some of her angsty heartbreak anthems at a house party. "Joe Lies" is probably my favorite song from the movie. I have a cassette somewhere with my own version of the song on it (recorded around 1990 in Spokane, Washington). But I can't find any videos of Lili singing it. It's like she's more protective of her tunes than Prince or something. Oh, well. Guess you'll have to dig out your VHS copy and find the scene yourself. Here's Peter Gabriel's very literal video of his big hit though (sans boom box).

pg 119: The song "I'm Not In Love" by 10CC from 1975 is not directly mentioned in this chapter, but I was in a cafe recently and this song came on and I became mesmerized. Not just because cheesy old love songs go directly to my heart and squeeze like a mother, but because it's such a weird song! Lyrically, it's a complex little story about a dude fervently denying that he's in love, when in fact you can tell that he probably is! And musically, it has this really orchestral kind of feel and synthesized backing vocals. But my favorite part is the weird "Big boys don't cry" whispery part in the middle. It's like a dream sequence inside a song and it's pretty freakin' cool.

pg 134: I think Mazzy Star is probably (or should be) on everyone's make-out music mix. I wonder how many 20-somethings were conceived to a Mazzy Star album. The flip side of Mazzy Star's seminal influence on folks my age is that their music is probably a big sad reminder of how much more romantic they were back in the day.

pg 139: Sometimes when you're bumming out hard from a broken heart, all you can do is walk around aimlessly and go to a record store to space out at a listening station for a while. Music, especially upbeat rock music, can bring your heart back to life for a while or at least take your mind off your woes. I think when I wrote "the most American rock 'n' roll I could find" I was probably thinking about old Superchunk classics like this.

pg 160: Infidelity is explored in many parts of the book but a few chapters starting on this page dig into the woman's father and her memories of a shaky part of her childhood. One of my favorite songs ever is "Mistress" by Red House Painters, and if there was a movie version of this book, this would hopefully be on the soundtrack. I remember being obsessed with this version in 1993. It was on a special promotional CD that I snagged from a friend who worked at a record store. I used to listen to it in pitch black darkness and feel chills go up my spine.

pg 189: Like I said earlier about 10CC, sometimes hearing old love songs makes my heart all achy and sappy. When I was growing up, I remember the Supertramp album, Breakfast In America, was super popular. I think we may have even had it on 8-track (shows how old I am). In this chapter, I talk about the lyrics of "Goodbye Stranger" by Supertramp and how unusual it is that he says the word "wife" in them. I was going to link to the song here, but it seems as if Supertramp (perhaps specifically main songwriter/singer Roger Hodgson) put the kibosh on posting studio version videos on YouTube. Instead, I'll give you some Stray Cats (who are also mentioned in this chapter, and who, in real life, were one of my favorite bands in high school).

pg 206: I really love writing about live music and what people are doing at shows. Before I even became a book reader, I was mostly obsessed with reading British music magazines like NME and Melody Maker. My favorite things to read were the live reviews. This chapter is based on a real show I went to in 2012 by Mister Heavenly, a band which featured actor Michael Cera on bass. A lot of cell phones were on hand.

Michael Cera

pg 224: In this chapter, there is some frustration when no music videos of Beethoven can be found on YouTube. I just checked again and there still aren't. I mean, there are plenty of videos, but I mean someone like Anton Corbijn should make some with story lines or weird visuals (ooh, maybe Spike Jonze!). I imagine a Beethoven video would look kind of like this infamous Pixies video, with just a bunch of people stumbling in slow motion down a mountain.

Last minute Christmas

last minute gift and travel ideas for Christmas

Name That Artist: 80's Xmas Hip-Hop Edition

User Rating: / 0
Back in the 80's I heard a song called "Too Cool For Yule" on one of KUSF's Christmas Specials and now I'm trying to figure out who the band was that did it. While listening to a Christmas Special one Sunday on KUSF back in 1986 ('87? '88?), they played a song which I think was called "Too Cool For Yule". It was a rap tune featuring a toy, a little girl, and Santa (among others?) doing a little spiel and proclaiming that they were "too cool for yule". Jesus showed up and was pissed that they thought THEY were the reason for Christmas, and was basically going to take His ball and go home ("This is it"/"I'm leaving town"/"You won't have Jesus to kick around!"). Then a PR man (?!?) shows up and convinces Jesus not to "commit commercial suicide" and to "use (his) cool for yule". The song ends with the gang committing themselves to celebrating the non-commercial elements of the season, or something like that.

I actually taped the show (which also introduced me to Kinks' "Father Christmas" and Pretenders' "2000 miles, but i digress). Of course since I was taping it in the pre-internet era in a small town past the Caldecott Tunnel a nice burst of static came in during the back announce so I know the name of the song, but not the name of the band that did it. Any help in figuring this out would be most appreciated.

(Note: there was a band called Faultline that also did a song called "Too Cool For Yule". From the samples I've heard this song had similar (identical?) lyrics to the song I heard on KUSF. However, Faultline's version had "rocking" guitar in it and a different delivery style, while the KUSF song had a more minimal, guitar-free backing. So either there's a different version of the song that Discogs doesn't know about, or the KUSF song is a different song entirely (or a cover of/covered by Faultline)

I'm so excited to share this wedding! I've been looking forward to it since last year! Sami is the sister of one our our past grooms, Thomas, and we photographed his and Andrea's wedding in 2012 and then next year we get to photograph their cousin, Lexi, and her fiance Joe's wedding July!

Now, onto the wedding! It was planned out so well by Mayfield Events, and everything ran so smoothly all day long! Sami and Andy decided to do a first look, and after that she had a first look with her dad as well. Such sweet moments! I also love how the first look did not take away at all from the emotion of the ceremony, Andy kinda fell apart during his vows, and I tear up every time I see those photos, but he also had the whole place laughing with his as well. Probably one of my favorite ceremony moments of the year! Plus, just take a look at how they transformed the Stone Palace! I know it was a ton of work, but it looked amazing!!!!

You do you! | Monday Mantra

You do you! You heard me, I didn’t hesitate! Do you ever feel like you don’t do enough for yourself? I have been in a rut lately with life. Trying to figure out where I belong and what my purpose is. Of course that all can’t just fall into your lap- or for some of you maybe it already has! But for me, it has not, so I have begun to do more for myself to figure out what makes me feel more at ease and a better person.

First I found a new hobby- Reading. I shared with you all on my Instagram that I picked up the book “Big Magic” and I am hooked! I haven’t gotten to deep into it to tell you what it is all about but what I have gained thus far is Elizabeth Gilbert, the author is a badass. The book is already so motivating.

Secondly, I started working out! It has been 6 months, let me repeat SIX MONTHS since I have completed an actual work out due to my back being unstable. It felt amazing. I started working out at Barre3 Kansas City- Barre is a core and balance workout that is low impact but man I felt the burn! This past week I took 2 classes and I felt at peace after each class and my back felt some release.

Thirdly I surprised Andrew this weekend with a day date! I sometimes get comfortable with us and our relationship and forget to be spontaneous. I took Andrew to the Nelson Atkins Museum of Art where they currently have the “Through the Eyes of  Picasso” exhibit. Andrew has a deep love for art so I knew he would be tickled. Spontaneity is key in relationships- I need to step up my game! HA ( so this is me trying, baby steps!)

Lastly, I went and got a massage yesterday- mind you I won this massage but have told myself that I need to start doing a ritual once a month to pamper myself. Why? Because I deserve it. You deserve it!

These steps of finding yourself may be different, but find that sense of peace where you can just take a deep breath and relax. I have found that it not only is going to create more patience for myself but be good for my overall work life, my relationship and friendships.

I hope you all have a great Monday, take my advice. You do you!

Fund Accounting Made Easy (FAME)

Many organisations find the accounting requirements and the needs of funders to be challenging.

Whilst we have experience and the skills to deal with most of the proprietary accountancy products on the market, many of these are either too costly or complex for the organisations with whom we work.

LCVS has developed Fund Accounting Made Easy (FAME), which is based on familiar Excel spreadsheets but deals with the intricacies of tracking individual funds. We offer this as a service to organisations for whom we prepare accounts but also on a ‘stand alone’ basis.

Whilst we feel the product to be intuitive, we provide training and ongoing support to ensure that it is used to its maximum benefit.

Dutch Oven Basics—Picking Your Oven

Dutch ovens produce some of the tastiest meals by using a constant heat maintained over a longer duration. This series will take you from getting your first Dutch oven to creating a magnum opus. Enjoy!

“How many of us would know how to cook for our families if electricity and natural gas were suddenly gone? With the Dutch oven skills I’ve learned over the years, I have confidence that I can cook my family a good hot meal at any time, regardless of our ‘current’ circumstances!” ~ Byron Bills, Expert Dutch oven chef

Dutch oven cooking may intimidate you, but the basics are fairly easy to master even if you are a beginner. Here are some tips for picking a Dutch oven.

Indoor or Outdoor: What’s the Difference?

The first rule for picking a Dutch oven is deciding whether you want to use your oven for indoor or outdoor cooking. Indoor ovens have flat bottoms and are meant to sit on the rack in conventional ovens. Outdoor ovens have three legs that sit over hot coals, and a lid with a lip. This lip is meant to keep the coals from sliding off.

You can use indoor Dutch ovens outdoors, but you’ll need to make a few adjustments. For this series we’ll be focusing on outdoor ovens.

Types of Ovens: Cast Iron and Cast Aluminum

Dutch ovens are made from either cast iron or cast aluminum; each type has its own benefits and drawbacks.

Aluminum ovens can be washed with soapy water. Aluminum is also better used for foods that need to cool quickly once they’re cooked, but cooking temperatures can vary based on wind or atmospheric temperature changes.

Cast iron is preferred by many Dutch oven professionals because it keeps a more even cooking temperature and keeps food warm longer. Also, cast iron ovens like the Volcano are very durable and can last for generations.

Follow your manufacturer’s recommendations for washing, drying, and seasoning a new Dutch oven before using it. In general, cast iron ovens should NOT be washed with soapy water (unless you have just taken it out of the package for the first time). Putting soap in a cast iron oven will destroy the ‘seasoning’ and will seep into the pores, where it can leach out into your next meal.

Seasoning refers to the vegetable oil or butters that you coat the Dutch oven with before each use. Seasoning stays within the walls of a Dutch oven during each use, building up over time. It prevents rust and corrosion and creates a non-stick cooking surface. Don’t get rid of the seasoning!

Oven Sizes

Dutch ovens come in sizes from 8 to 22 inches in diameter. The depths vary too, giving you a wide range of choices.

The smallest ovens are good for vegetables, sauces, side dishes and desserts; the largest will accommodate a good-sized turkey with vegetables. Don’t forget that the bigger your Dutch oven, the more it will weigh. Byron has a 49 quart Dutch oven that weighs 158 pounds—empty!

Because of the weight and size of Dutch ovens, you want to choose an oven with three sturdy legs; skinny legs might break.

If you’re only purchasing one oven, the 12-inch size, that holds about 6 quarts, is probably the most useful. A 10-inch and a 14-inch would also be very handy to have, especially if you’re cooking several foods at the same time.

Keep in mind that when you’re cooking you can stack several ovens (smallest on top) and conserve coals by placing them between ovens, as they will heat both upward and downward.

Oven Accessories (You’re Going to Need These!!)

    You will want a shovel, a selection of tongs and hooks, and good insulated leather gloves to help you handle your hot, heavy ovens. A whisk broom is handy to brush ashes off lids before you open the oven.

    -Charcoal chimney starter

    -Consider keeping your charcoal in a large bucket or garbage can topped with a tight-fitting lid.

Now that you’ve learned how to pick a Dutch oven, you can learn how to cook with it! This article is sponsored by Emergency Essentials.
