I am confused to what "e) Do you support voluntary prayer in public schools?" Students should have the right to pray in schools if they choose, but the school administrators should not require students to attend prayer.

Yet, a teacher can not require all of the students in the class to pray along with the student.
Please explain in a total of 100 words or less, your top two or three priorities if elected. If they require additional funding for implementation, please explain how you would obtain this funding.
The big challenge that I see in the Legislature is to balance the 2
billion dollar deficit without cutting programs and services to the poor.
As your State Representative, I would advocate that housing, jobs, youth
programming, and programs to end poverty are an investment, not an
expense. I will fight to secure general funds to sustain programs for
education and social services, and work beyond party lines to create
solutions to balance the budget, find funding for community programs, and
bring landmark legislation to law.
[ These taken from VoteSmart.org Farheen's primary opponent has this listed on their site:
Mr. Hayden repeatedly refused to provide any responses to citizens on the issues through the 2008 Political Courage Test when asked to do so by national leaders of the political parties, prominent members of the media, Project Vote Smart President Richard Kimball, and Project Vote Smart staff.
I consider Mr. Hayden's inaction to be yet another sign of local DFL corruption, ineptitude, and not truly standing for anything but getting elected. - KC ]

Lawsuit seeks $250,000 in damages for police raid
Press Conference:
Friday, October 10, 3pm
Saint Paul City Hall on Kellogg Blvd.
The first lawsuit resulting from the police invasion of a St. Paul home prior to the Republican National Convention will be announced at a press conference October 10. Notice will be served
on the city of Saint Paul that lawyers representing Michael Whalen will seek $250,000 in damages. Whalen's duplex on Iglehart Avenue was cordoned off by St. Paul police working with the FBI and Homeland Security people. Whalen and his tenants and guests were held at gunpoint for several hours, not allowed to leave – and no one allowed to enter.
It has not been disclosed what prompted the raid. An FBI agent (perhaps Scott Zimmerman) had requested entry an hour earlier. When denied he apparently called the St. Paul authorities
who sent two dozen or so officers into the streets, alleys and entrances of Whalen's home.
When these officers also were denied entry, they held the premises underarmed guard while police tried to create a legitimate reason for an invasion. After an hour or two, Officer Langfellow
swore that Mr. Whalen had supported Irish Independence some 20 years ago, had co-owned a bookstore for a whole year with Sarah Jane Olsen also 20 years ago, had recently failed to put his address numbers on one half of the duplex and had received heavy boxes by US Mail.
The sworn affidavit, supporting the request for a search warrant, also contained a straight-out falsehood about Whalen's activities that day. Amazingly, a judge of the District Court
found all this sufficient to issue the warrant – for the wrong address! The items listed in the warrant for seizure did not include Irish literature, letters from Ms Olson, unused address numbers nor the vegan literature in the heavy boxes.
It might be noted that Whalen's guests included journalists who are part of the growing people's independent press movement, which documents and web-publishes police abuse around this land of ours. Some of these folks were raided again elsewhere and some were arrested as they documented the new face of St. Paul, formerly the most livable city in America.
Mr. Whalen is represented by attorneys Ted Dooley and Peter Nickitas, both members of the National Lawyers Guild. Dooley will be among the speakers at the press conference.

Dear Blog Reader,
Over the course of this campaign, we've heard a lot of talk about oil pipelines in Alaska, "drill, baby, drill," and even an unfortunate embrace of so-called "clean coal" technology, though no form of coal is ever truly "clean."
With less than one month to go before Election Day, we need to let our candidates know we're demanding a comprehensive, modern, green energy policy that will put this country back on the right path in more ways than one.
Right now, we can launch a new green energy plan for the US that is intentionally designed to meet five urgent needs at once. We can:
tackle the rising price of fuel, a hardship for many American families,
transition the US away from its dependence on foreign oil,
push back against the perils of climate change, and
reverse rising unemployment rates, which reached a five-year high in September.
create real investment into our economy that will counter the ongoing Wall Street meltdown, and its impact on Main Street.
While Co-op America members have been making green-energy changes in their lives for many, many years, the time is NOW for a major system change.
We're challenging each of you to come together with us and tell all presidential and congressional candidates that our country is ready for a clean energy infrastructure that makes it easier to live green.
All of our candidates need to be reminded that if we do this – if we implement a comprehensive green energy policy that calls for energy efficiency, cleaner cars, and renewable solar and wind power – we'll ALL reap the rewards of a cleaner environment, reinvigorated economy, and more secure future.
When you click through to take our action, you'll be prompted for your ZIP code, which will bring up all congressional and presidential candidates running for office in your area. Then you can add your own personal touch to our editable message, urging all of the candidates to endorse a greener energy platform. Please take this urgent action today.
Send your message to the candidates now »
For background on Co-op America's clean-energy recommendations, check our latest editorial, in which we debunk the myths that can discourage progress on green energy, and outline the components that any elected leader should have in her or his energy policy. (Please post it widely online, send it to your local paper, and otherwise help us get the word out.)
Then, click through to our action page for more information on what should NOT be included in our energy policy (off-shore drilling, oil-and-gas subsidies, new coal plants, risky nuclear plants), before using our form to send your own message to Congress.
Thanks for joining with us to keep this critical issue at the top of our leaders' minds, as we push for action now, and under the new administration in 2009.
Here's to all you do,
Alisa Gravitz, Executive Director, Co-op America
P.S. Clean energy news: The solar energy tax credits were extended for eight years as part of legislation signed into law on October 3. You can now get 30% tax credits for solar installed on your home or business – without a cap on the amount of the credit. Thanks to all of our members who joined with us in pushing for these tax credits!

to support a truly green energy policy.

Whose Congress is this?
Anyone who still thinks that either of the two major parties represent the interest of Main Street rather than Wall Street should take a look at how much money the members of the US House of Representatives who voted for the "No Tycoon Left Behind" bailout bill have raked in from the same financial sectors responsible for the whole mess in the first place.
According to The Center for Responsive Politics, lawmakers who voted in favor of the bailout bill have received on average 51% more in campaign contributions from sources in the finance, insurance and real estate industries (FIRE industries) over their congressional careers than those who opposed the emergency legislation.
In this election cycle, the 140 House Democrats who voted for the bailout bill collected 78% more from the FIRE industries than the Democrats who opposed it. The data shows that, over their careers, they collected 88% more. While the gap is smaller on the Republican side, those who voted yes on the bailout bill got an average of 23% more in contributions from the FIRE industries in this election cycle than House Republicans who voted against it. In the long run, they got 53% more.
When it comes to raking in cash, party leadership fares even better. House Financial Services Committee Chair Barney Frank (D-MA) received nearly $800,000 this election cycle from sources in the FIRE industries. Ranking Republican committee member Spencer Bachus (AL) received $822,000 from the FIRE industries this election cycle and $3.7 million since 1989.
Unlike the two corporate parties now running Congress, Green Party candidates accept no corporate contributions. When in office, we will not be owned and bossed by Wall Street fat-cats. Green Officeholders are free to vote for what's best for us, the American people, instead of the Wall Street insiders who now run the show.
But to make your voice heard, we need your support. If your Congressperson voted against the bailout bill, thank them. If they voted for it, tell them how you really feel. Support Cynthia McKinney/Rosa Clemente and other Green Party candidates on the ballot in November; and donate to our future today.

49ers-Cowboys: Re-living San Francisco's most painful playoff loss ever
Skip Vanderbundt still remembers the strange phone call he received almost 30 years ago. The onetime 49ers linebacker had long since retired and was relaxing in his Sacramento home one evening, even letting his mind drift to watching the upcoming 49ers' playoff game against their bitter rivals, the Dallas Cowboys.
Suddenly, his phone started ringing. After Vanderbundt answered it, his thoughts instantly flashed back to December 23, 1972, a darker, more personal time for him during the fabled 49ers-Cowboys postseason history.
The voice on the other end belonged to Preston Riley, a former teammate who was calling from Tennessee. Vanderbundt couldn't believe it. The last time they had spoken was 20 years earlier, shortly after Riley became infamous for a costly fumble in the 49ers' stunning collapse in a 1972 NFC playoff loss to Dallas at Candlestick Park.
Now Riley was on the phone asking Vanderbundt a heartbreaking question: "Skip, do you guys still blame me?"
Riley, a wide receiver who only played one more NFL game after the 49ers quickly traded him to the Saints in the wake of his playoff mistake, has been the most tragic figure in the decades-long 49ers-Cowboys playoff rivalry. The lasting image of Riley for some is of him quietly sitting at his locker after the crushing loss, smoking a cigarette while tears rolled down his face.
Still, he remains but a footnote in the series as the two iconic franchises get set to meet for the eighth time in the playoffs on Sunday afternoon in Dallas. This rivalry is as star-studded and memorable as any in NFL history with stars such as Joe Montana, Jerry Rice, Emmitt Smith, Deion Sanders, Troy Aikman, Steve Young and Roger Staubach on display over the years. The 49ers-Cowboys games are so big they've also become synonymous with legendary TV announcers John Madden and Pat Summerall.
The Chicago Bears will interview Ed Dodds for their GM vacancy. Here's what to know about the Indianapolis Colts assistant general manager.
Sunday's game in Dallas will be the teams' first postseason clash since 1995, when the 49ers finally beat the Cowboys in the NFC Championship after losing to them the previous two years. By steamrolling the Cowboys 38-21 at Candlestick that year, it set the stage for San Francisco's last Super Bowl title two weeks later.
Cowboys defensive coordinator Dan Quinn, who was a 49ers assistant coach from 2001-04, can't wait to help rekindle the rivalry.
"I'm damn fired up, man," Quinn told reporters earlier this week. "Are you kidding me? The early '90s Dallas-Niners, some of the championship games, for me, coming up and watching those ones, I can hear (John) Madden and (Pat) Summerall talking it through. My first Dallas and Niner playoff game, I'm pretty fired up to do it, man. It's exciting."
"Do you guys still blame me?"
Skip Vanderbundt doesn't have many regrets from his 10-year NFL career, nine of which he spent with the 49ers.
"It was all a real kick in the rear. I'm still pretty healthy and I'd still be doing it … well, if I wasn't 75," he joked during a phone conversation this week.
Of course, he wished he and his …read more

Photos: San Francisco 49ers survive wild-card playoff thriller to defeat Dallas Cowboys The San Francisco 49ers are off to Lambeau Field to face the No. 1-seeded Green Bay Packers in the NFL divisional playoff round. The 49ers, who made it into the playoffs by virtue of an overtime win at the Los Angeles Rams a week ago, survived Sunday despite nearly blowing a 16-point, fourth-quarter lead. Quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo, who also had a bad overthrow of an open Brandon Aiyuk in the third quarter, finished 16-of-25 for 172 yards. Deebo Samuel, the 49ers' offensive catalyst, ran for 72 yards (10 carries) and added 38 yards receiving (three catches). The 49ers have won…
Why did Oakland and San Mateo students receive at-home COVID-19 tests earlier than kids in San Francisco and Hayward kids? Despite state leaders' promises to get at-home COVID tests in students' hands before they returned from winter break, Bay Area school districts received them at wildly different times – and some didn't have tests until days after classes resumed. And a Bay Area News Group analysis suggests districts that received tests earlier were able to do a better job than others at controlling the spread of COVID among their school communities. The state's failure to deliver tests in a timely manner, even as it urged districts to resume in-person classes, has created tension within school communities about whether students and…

Free Range Parenting Act
Policy Status
Type: Model Policy
Date Introduced: August 9, 2018
Date Finalized: September 18, 2018
AM 2018
Free Range Parenting
Parental Choice
Modeled on Utah's "Free Range Parenting Law," this bill protects parents who grant their children activities of independence (i.e., walking to school or playing outside unsupervised), by clarifying that these do not constitute child neglect. Consistent with the Constitutional protection for familial association, the bill says that neglect requires a blatant disregard of parental responsibilities in a manner likely to cause a serious risk of harm to a child, not efforts by parents to teach independence, and not decisions that reasonable parents make every day.
Model Policy:
Legislative findings.
The [governing body] finds that:
(1) Everyone desires the safety of all children;
(2) A child raised under constant adult supervision misses opportunities for growth and, as a result, may end up stunted developmentally 30 and physically;
(3) The alarming rise of obesity and diabetes in childhood is almost certainly linked to the insistence of parents and guardians on driving their children to school and activities instead of allowing their children to walk;
(4) As measured by incidences of mental health difficulties, today's over-supervised youth experience more difficulties upon reaching adulthood than earlier generations;
(5) Earlier generations learned resilience by walking, bicycling, playing, helping out, and solving problems without constant adult intervention;
(6) Parents and guardians often are in the best position to weigh the risks and make decisions concerning the safety of children under their care, including where their children may go, with whom, and when; and
(7) The excessive investigation and prosecution of parents and guardians who have done nothing more than briefly and safely permit their children to remain unsupervised has introduced unnecessary governmental intrusion into the homes of families and diverted valuable public resources 12 to inconsequential and trivial matters.
Legislative intent.
It is the intent of the [governing body] that this act:
(1) Protect and promote a parent or guardian's inherent right to raise his or her children; and
(2) Protect a parent or guardian's decision to grant his or her children unsupervised time to engage in activities that include without limitation playing outside, walking to school, bicycling, remaining briefly in a vehicle, and remaining at home.
Neglectful supervision means placing a child in or failing to remove a child from a situation that a reasonable person would realize requires judgment or actions beyond the child's level of maturity, physical condition, or mental abilities and that results in bodily injury or a substantial risk of immediate harm to the child as a result of a blatant disregard of parent or caretaker responsibilities
"Blatant disregard" means a situation where the real, significant, and imminent risk of harm would be so obvious to a reasonable parent or caretaker that it is unlikely that a reasonable parent or caretaker would have exposed the child to the danger without exercising precautionary measures to protect the child from harm.
Neglectful supervision does not include permitting a child, who is of sufficient maturity, physical condition, and mental abilities to avoid substantial risk of physical harm, to engage in independent activities, including:
(1) traveling to and from school, including by walking, running, or bicycling;
(2) traveling to and from nearby commercial or recreational facilities;
(3) engaging in outdoor play;
(4) remaining at home unattended if the parent or caregiver:
(a) returns home on the same day on which the parent or caregiver gives the child permission to remain at home;
(b) makes provisions for the child to be able to contact the parent or caregiver on the same day on which the parent or caregiver gives the child permission to remain at home; and
(c) makes provisions for any reasonably foreseeable emergencies that may arise on the same day on which the parent or caregiver gives the child permission to remain at home; or
(5) remaining for less than fifteen (15) minutes in a vehicle if the temperature inside the vehicle is not or will not become dangerously hot or cold;
(6) engaging in a similar independent activity

Why You NEED Underinsured Motorist Coverage | Hupy and Abraham, S.C.
Our client was only 14 years old at the time of her accident. She was riding her bicycle in Sun Prairie, Wisconsin when a motorist made a left turn in front of her. Her injuries required multiple surgeries and hospital stays.
The insurance company repeatedly denied the claim, contending that she was mostly at fault. Hupy and Abraham took the case and demanded the policy limits. When they refused, we initiated a lawsuit.
Shortly before the suit was filed, the insurance company tendered its full $100,000 policy limits. Our attorney then obtained the $200,000 limit on our client's underinsured motorist policy, bringing the total to $300,000.
The client was grateful to Hupy and Abraham for never giving up on the case.

"forms for our inner life"
Tishani Doshi:
The late Adam Zagajewski ... believed there were two aims of lyric poetry. The first is the need to provide forms for our inner life; the second is to be on watch for history ....
(Once, while browsing the table in the poetry room at City Lights, I found Everything Begins Elsewhere by Tishani Doshi and it has become one of my favorites.)

"snip off a length"
John Ashbery:
In a 1976 interview ..., Ashbery describes his creative process: "I have a feeling that in my mind is an underground stream, if you will, that I can have access to when I want it. I want the poetry to come out as freshly and unplanned as possible." In another interview from 1984, he directly addresses the issue of resolution: "I don't look on poems as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head, and I occasionally snip off a length."
"attentive connections"
From an interview with Maureen Thorsen (also a lawyer-poet):
[Poems] do start with little notes. I keep cheapie notebooks on me at all times, and will sometimes just stop in the middle of walking somewhere to get a thought down. (I find if I don't write it down as soon as I think it, it just disappears). I don't ever really sit down and write a whole poem. I sort of build them up over time, riffing on something I've jotted down, and coming back to it over and over and adding pieces or taking them out or rewording them.
.... It's about all I can do to keep up with my day job and still write poetry. I mostly write by making use of "interstitial" time—my commute, for example. .... The writing process I've developed—that of collaging and remixing notes—has been shaped by time pressure. I don't really have the luxury of sitting down and thinking about a poem for several hours at a go.
The bold part is so true. I've lost a lot of thoughts by thinking I'll remember them later. What's worse is when I remember that something slipped away, but I don't know what.
"a new poem is not cold at all"
From an interview with Lucie Brock-Broido:
You admit a series of initiating realities, truths—but not yet told slant. After a long period of incubation, you muster the courage to become hard on yourself, on the poem itself. You keep it on a tight leash as you edit the thing. You yank the choke-chain harder. The final soliloquy, many, many drafts later, is the poem after it's been raked and scarified and held tight. Then, finally, you let yourself Have Your Way with the poem.

"into saying something else"
"Poetry is … a desire to feel everywhere estranged, in touch with or at least reaching for the other, out of house & home. …. The basic desire of poetry is therefore nomadic."

"the haunted lyric"
From an essay in Blackbird by Anna Journey:
As I read Dexter Booth's Scratching the Ghost (selected by Major Jackson for the Cave Canem Prize), Tarfia Faizullah's Seam (chosen by Chad Davidson as winner of the 2012 Crab Orchard Series in Poetry's First Book Award), and Emilia Phillips's Signaletics (the Editor's Choice for the 2012 Akron Poetry Prize), I'm struck by their poems' lyric beauty and the subversions which complicate it: through the gothic or grotesque, the braiding of historical and personal narrative threads, and the construction of lyric speakers haunted by the past or by aspects of themselves. And though Booth is the only one of the three authors originally from Richmond (Faizullah hails from Texas, while Phillips is from Tennessee), all of them spent several years studying poetry at Virginia Commonwealth University, and I can't help but notice the poets' pronounced interests in the macabre, in ghostly figures, and in a particular mode of narrative braiding used to structure time in the contemporary lyric poem. Put simply: these authors write the haunted lyric. It's a mode of layering fragments of narrative akin to those mottled cobblestones in Poe's old city, the one that, set fire by retreating Confederate soldiers, slowly rose, transformed from the ashes. It's a mode that perhaps first rooted itself in Richmond with the work of Larry Levis, who taught at VCU from 1992 until his death in 1996, and currently continues in what Linda Gregerson terms the "history-haunted cosmos"—that apparitional and eclectic juxtapositional mojo—of the poetry of David Wojahn, as well as in the work of other poets currently living in the city, such as Kathleen Graber and Joshua Poteat. The haunted lyric (one in which the author braids haunting personal details with historical, often ghostly, figures), while certainly not exclusive to the locale, may indeed be Richmond's reigning poetic subgenre.

"in the gut, rapid fire"
Louise Mathias is a favorite poet of mine. This is from an interview with her.
This is your second book. Can you talk about how putting together this book was different than the experience for your first book?
It was definitely easier. You learn to trust your gut. I also think the poems I wrote during this 9- or 10-year span were more unified in voice and obsession than those in my first book. With Lark Apprentice, I had this idea drilled into my head that you had to create a narrative arc -- maybe I read it in some awful article about how to navigate the contest system, who knows? With The Traps it was more about pacing -- I mostly wanted to keep punching the reader in the gut, rapid-fire style, with a few key spaces to breathe.
"ambition involves a type of achievement"
"Don't just try writing a song, try and write a hit song." -- Prince (advice to Gwen Stefani)
"What poets should be trying to do [is] to be as good as Dante. The only way we are likely to be any good is to try to be as great as the best." -- Donald Hall (quoted in Beautiful & Pointless by David Orr)
"white on white"
From Poetry Daily, the smooth rhythm of this excerpt, and its subject matter, reminds me of Frost:
where it can lose itself, disappear.
Those stunning ermine that snowless year
were neon on the gold leaves' makeshift carpets,
thrilling to witness, but ideal targets
for even the most dull-eyed predator.
Better to secure a sound white square
however unremarkable, unsubtle.
A person has to settle for what's possible.
-- Jacqueline Osherow
"something that can go on being made"
James Wright on what he learned from Roethke:
He taught mainly the craft, and he, like Berryman and like Lowell, was an entirely conscious craftsman. He understood that the relation between the craft and the mysterious imagination is not what we conventionally think it to be. There are some people who think that a very careful, conscious craftsmanship will repress your feelings. And Roethke understood that it is careful, conscious craft which liberates your feelings and liberates your imagination.
"unorthodox beauties"
The New Yorker blog "Page-Turner" has a very interesting two-part post by Michael Cunningham on his work on the Pulitzer fiction jury this year, when no Pulitzer for fiction was awarded. The whole story is quite interesting, but for present purposes, these are the tidbits:
Fiction involves trace elements of magic; it works for reasons we can explain and also for reasons we can't. .... A great work of fiction involves a certain frisson that occurs when its various components cohere and then ignite. The cause of the fire should, to some extent, elude the experts sent to investigate.
We loved each of the authors for their triumphs over the forces of banality, contrivance, predictability, thinness, falseness, randomness, tidiness, and all the other forces that defeat almost everyone reckless enough to write fiction at all.
Once again, for "fiction," say "poetry."
"invent and abide by a system"
This stood out from a recent, short interview with Yusef Komunyakaa:
I believe meaning is primary and not a tangled connundrum. That doesn't mean that everything has to be on the surface of the poem. One has to invent and abide by a system of asthetics.
This reminded me of the thesis of an essay from the The Art of Sylvia Plath, edited by Charles Newman (1970). In her essay "The World as Icon: On Sylvia Plath's Themes," Annette Lavers writes that Plath's poems
derive their meaning, both profound and sometimes literal, from an underlying code, in which objects and their qualities are endowed with stable significations, and hierarchized. It is indeed only because such a pre-ordained scheme (probably unconscious to a great extent) existed that such a large output, of such quality, was made possible. ....
Recognition of this fact ... sheds light on what Sylvia Plath was trying to do with her poetry. She was not trying to render each experience by means uniquely suited to it, but rather to dominate such experiences by making them fit (sometimes with difficulty) within a previously adopted framework, which automatically results in their being integrated in a scale of values.
Conscious (or unconscious) adoption by a poet of an invented system, code or framework, then, coheres a body of work.
"speak to my ingenuity"
This poem by Laura Cronk was on Poetry Daily recently. It's a love story, modern and ancient.
"go a little bit luminescent"
A friend sent this poetry prompt from "The Time is Now" series of prompts by Poets & Writers:
In a 2008 Paris Review interview with Kay Ryan, she explains her neologism "recombinant rhyme"--a craft technique of stashing "rhymes at the wrong ends of lines and in the middle." According to Ryan, "snipping up pieces of sound and redistributing them throughout a poem" allows her to "get the poem to go a little bit luminescent." Take a poem of yours that could use more musicality, and revise it to include recombinant rhyme.

"an invaluable cache of sensory detail"
Sandra Beasley is putting together her third book of poetry:
I'm at that painful stage of knocking down a manuscript so I can build it up again. This mirrors a stage of my poem process: I take a reasonably polished draft and remove all the line breaks so it becomes a prose paragraph. Next I edit it in that form for syntax and flow, which ensures I don't have excess language in there simply for visual rhythm (e.g., writing toward a median line length). Only then do a I re-break the poem again, rethinking all line and stanza options. If it ends up as before, lovely. But often it does not. And sometimes I have to come to terms with what's missing, and dive back in to revise on a content level.
"like a sort of soul-compass"
The book I just bought last Saturday at a used bookstore (The Art of Sylvia Plath, edited by Charles Newman (1970)) includes reproductions of several drawings by Plath (as well as a selection of her poetry, most of which was uncollected at the time). And then today, across my feed reader comes a link to a slideshow of Plath drawings being shown at a gallery in London.
This one's cute:
Looking at some of the drawings suggests that the process of re-creating objects on paper can help a poet "see" them in a way that's different from the sensory, and therefore (ideally) interesting but not wholly foreign. In other words, the process of drawing can inform the process of writing and constitute study for both. (Not that many of us have time for that.)
Here's one from my book:
Rock Harbour, Cape Cod (detail)
I don't have sufficiently comprehensive knowledge of Plath's body of work to connect this drawing to any particular poem (nor does my book attempt to do so). Some of the other drawings in the slideshow are quite thought-provoking if you stop to study them.

"controlled uncontrolledness"
From the essay "Warnings from the Grave" by Stephen Spender in The Art of Sylvia Plath, edited by Charles Newman (1970):
The landscape is an entirely interior, mental one in which external objects have become converted into symbols of hysterical vision:
This is my property,
Two times a day
I pace it, sniffing
The barbarous holly with its viridian
Scallops, pure iron
And the wall of old corpses.
I love them.
I love them like history.
The apples are golden,
Imagine it--
My seventy trees
Holding their gold-ruddy balls
In a thick grey death-soup,
Their million
Gold leaves metal and breathless.
'Letter in November'
We can enjoy the 'description' in this, the autumn-golden apples in the grey-soup mist. All the same, this nature is not the great furniture of the continuity of the seasonal earth, on which the distraught mind can rest. Or if there are some externals in these poems ... they in an atmosphere in which the external is in immediate process of becoming the internal, opposites identical with one another.
This reminds me of Van Gogh's landscapes, which express not so much what the artist saw as existing in nature, but more what existed in himself, projected onto it. A few weeks ago a Logan essay prompted the question how could nature ever appear in poetry in a way that could be new? Of course what Plath was doing 50 years ago now can't exactly be characterized that way.
From the introductory essay by Newman:
[In an early essay from the juvenilia s]he endows the sea with the characteristics of her own mind. .... It is not surprising then, to find in the last poems, that Nature herself is equated with, and even regulated by, the mind. .... [This] requires that imagination become equal to experience. .... There is no division between the world and her wilful representation of it.
The exertion of that will on the reality we commonly inhabit results in an art in which reality is not completely distorted, either beyond the reader's recognition or to the point of absurdity, but altered just enough to be interesting and new, but still feel true and plausibly real. The insight of this art feels somehow more true than everyday sensory perception, and far more true than narrative.
I'm constantly looking for poets who do this but the truth is I can't seem to find very many. Dickinson and Keats, Louise Mathias and Tomas Transtromer (translations of whose work I've just started reading) come to mind. One essay calls Transtromer's poetry "ensorcelated," or more precisely, says that it takes place in "ensorcelated places." The Spender essay calls Plath's work "emotional-mystical."
More from Spender:
Considered simply as art, these poems have line to line power and rhythm which, though repetitive, is too dynamic to be monotonous. Beyond this, they don't have 'form'. From poem to poem, they have little principle of beginning or ending, but seem fragments .... [T]he length of the poem is decided by the duration of the poet's vision, which is far more serious to the poet than formal considerations.
"she tried deliberately to locate just what it was that hurt"
From an essay called "Notes on the Chronological Order of Sylvia Plath's Poems" by Ted Hughes, in The Art of Sylvia Plath, edited by Charles Newman (1970). I picked up this book at a used bookstore today.
Her poetry escapes ordinary analysis in the way clairvoyance and mediumship do: her psychic gifts, at almost any time, were strong enough to make her frequently wish to be rid of them.
[S]he never saved lines or phrases. .... If she didn't like a poem, she scrapped it entire. She rescued nothing of it. Every poem grew complete from its own root ....
Her reactions to hurts in other people and animals, and even tiny descrations of plant-life were extremely violent.
It's my suspicion that no poem can be a poem that is not a statement from the powers in control of our life, the ultimate suffering and decision in us. It seems to me that this is poetry's only real distinction from the literary forms that we call 'not poetry'.
Surveyed as a whole, with attention to the order of composition, I think the unity of her opus is clear. Once the unity shows itself, the logic and inevitability of the language, which controls and contains such conflagrations and collisions within itself, becomes more obviously what it is -- direct, and even plain, speech.
"duende! terrible angels!"
"What kind of poetry do you write?"
Some poets take the question seriously:
Poems that make me uneasy. If a poem doesn't make me increasingly uneasy as I work on it, I toss it, as the absence of unease and conflicted feelings usually means there is too little at stake in the poem. (Idra Novey)
Some less so:
I sometimes ask if the question might be rephrased as one with multiple-choice answers. What are the possibilities? (Bob Wrigley)
"we bear our own distresses more passionately"
Via Ron Silliman, Auden on Rilke:
One of the constant problems of the poet is how to express abstract ideas in concrete terms. .... Rilke is almost the first poet since the seventeenth century to find a fresh solution.
Auden goes on to portend confessionalism in this 1939 review.
"not all honesties are equal"
William Logan writes thought-provoking reviews for The New Criterion:
The image of the apron seems merely decorative, until you realize it's there to introduce the butchery.
Takeaway: each image should serve a purpose.
The poems witness a degrading world where manners and the grace of language have been eroded by technology.
Takeaway: what does your poem witness?
and too many poems that end on a little pneumatic—or perhaps Plathetic—urgency
Takeaway: "Plathetic." Like "Shakesperian" or "Homeric," right? I get it.
There are many poets writing now in what might be called the New Breathlessness.
Takeaway: how hard it is to avoid accusations of pretension.
on the secret life of mirrors
Takeaway: OK, that could lead to an actual poem. But would you have to give credit?
These fragments of rural life are like outtakes from Frost, but without the Yankee cunning that made American pastoral so unpredictable.
Takeaway: what could possibly be said about nature that would be new? There must be something.
"to hold together contradictions"
In a review of three recent poetry collections (posted yesterday at the Los Angeles Review of Books), Peter Campion discusses the ending of the poem "Torn" by C. Dale Young:
This is a stunning ending. But why? I wondered when I first read the poem. Aside from the dramatic situation itself, which is certainly powerful, what makes this so affecting? I think the answer has to do with a series of savvy formal maneuvers, which nuance and strengthen the personal testimony. .... Young knows that drama often works by taking one more additional turn, after the central realization, .... [This] complicates the poem and makes it more powerful.
"a deep, early love of poetry"
The Los Angeles Times books blog has lessons on writing from novelist Ann Patchett. Many of them apply equally to poetry, including this one:
Most of us are full up with bad stories, boring stories, self-indulgent stories, searing works of unendurable melodrama. We must get all of them our of our system in order to find the good stories that may or may not exist in the fresh water underneath.
Substitute "poems" for "stories."
"the presence of the total self"
An interviewer asked poet Philip Levine "whether, while writing, he had ever entered flow, a state of mind in which time seems to stop." His response:
I don't care for your phrase "the flow" because of certain implications that aren't true for me. I use the term "fire," as horse racing maniacs use it (I was once one): a horse is said to fire when suddenly it finds all the speed it's capable of. .... I don't remember ever "entering the flow"; I remember "firing."
When I'm getting nothing I accept getting nothing because I know that getting nothing is what you do when you're not getting something; it is an essential part of the process. Or so I believe.
I believe the state which we call inspiration does not depend on any outside force, the muse, etc. We may feel the power of another force, but I believe the power we're feeling is the power of the presence of the total self. We feel like someone else because we are so rarely totally ourselves.
Levine was just named U.S. poet laureate, replacing W.S. Merwin.
"to see clearly is poetry"
This quotation is attributed to Ruskin:
The greatest thing a human being ever does in this world is to SEE something, and tell what he saw in a plain way. Hundreds of people can talk for one who can think, but thousands of people can think for one who can see. To see clearly is poetry, prophecy and religion -- all in one.
I found it here.
"a lick of German"
The June 2011 Poetry is the yearly "translation issue," in which a "translator's note" follows each poem. I always thought that to translate you had to speak both languages fluently. But in this issue, Lucia Perillo translates a Rilke poem while freely admitting she doesn't speak "a lick of German."
Another translator's note says the translator relied in part on a "literal rendering" by a fluent speaker. This presented some entirely new ideas about what translation means.
A couple of years ago I spent some time coming up with my own version of "Love Sonnet XVII" by Pablo Neruda. I was aided by two years of high school Spanish, two other English versions (by Stephen Tapscott and Mark Eisner) and Google translate. Now I feel I have full license from Poetry to present it as a translation. So here it is:
I do not love you as if you were salt-rose, topaz,
or the arrow of carnations that propagate fire:
I love you as certain dark things are loved,
in secret, between the shadow and the soul.
I love you as the plant that never blooms
but carries the light of hidden flowers inside;
thanks to your love, darkly in my body
the binding scent of earth has arisen and lives.
I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where,
I love you candidly, without pretense or pride:
I love you like this because I know no other way
but this way, where there is no I, nor you,
so close that your hand on my chest is my hand,
so close that my sleep shuts your eyes.
"digging in the loose soil of a new story"
This week's New Yorker has an essay by Jhumpa Lahiri: "Trading Stories: Notes from a Literary Apprenticeship."
"a form of magic designed to mediate between 'this hostile world and us'"
From an article in the Chronicle about the upcoming Picasso exhibit at the de Young:
The influence of African sculpture, which Picasso said made him realize that art was a form of magic designed to mediate between "this hostile world and us," can also be seen here in the proto-Cubist studies for the epochal "Les Demoiselles d'Avignon."
As a verbal art form, poetry is even closer to magic than painting or sculpture. The Poetic Pattern (1956) by Robin Skelton has a whole chapter on poetry's origins in magic:
[T]here is a magical aspect present in all poetry, for poetry, by its very nature, seeks to recreate the complete pattern of a certain aspect of life in order to reveal that completeness to the hearer. Thus, the perfect lyric, though it may have no 'marginal' difficulty, excites us purely because of its pattern, purely because it magically portrays the perfection which we all desire, and imposes the illusion of complete harmony upon the reality of our chaos.
"tend to the small stuff"
From an interview with Eamon Grennan:
For Grennan ... , the life of a poet is that of an observer. "As a poet, you listen and you look," he says. "You are being spoken to, rather than speaking at. And you try to register the thing that is being said to you. Sometimes you try to get yourself out of the way, but you can never get quite out of the way. You're the lens through which you look."
I have a stack of Grennan poems torn out of old New Yorkers before throwing them away.
"the poem makes up the poet to write it"
I try to pay attention to as many things as I can simultaneously and grab onto whatever wire seems most glowing–sometimes it is the imperatives of poetic concerns, other times imagination.
I know the poem's finished when it feels like it's got somewhere and those last lines have a kind of lyrical power. My process is to begin messily and proceed through drafts by hand and typewriter to some sort of what feels to me coherent charged system.
Glowing wires in a charged system from The Rumpus Poetry Book Club Chat with Dean Young (May 3, 2011).

January 13, 2020 Sarah C. Essays, Movie Reviews
2020 OSCAR NOMINATIONS: SNUBS, SURPISES, AND DISAPPOINTMENTS
The Academy Award nominations came out today to the usual groans and sighs. I understand that not all of our favorite films will garner an Oscar nomination, but it's always a little disappointing when you finally see the finalized list. Thus, putting the nail in the coffin of our little films that could. Once again, there are no nominations for any Marvel films, except for the standard technical achievements. I think we can all agree that Blockbuster films aren't the most welcome when dealing with the Oscars. However, there were several nominations that just caught us all completely off-guard. Here are my top snubs, surprises, and disappointments in this year's list of Oscar nominees.
No nomination for Jennifer Lopez in the Best Supporting Actress category?
Sure, I was thinking Lopez was a shoe-in for Best Supporting Actress. Lopez winning the award was a long shot, but I still expected her to get that nomination for her performance in Hustlers. Sadly, those dreams were crushed when the Best Supporting Actress nominations were announced and left Lopez nowhere to be seen. Yes, Lopez found herself at the top of various critic wins. Not to mention, a nominee for Best Supporting Actress at the Golden Globes. It's surprising, but then it isn't, that Lopez has been left off the list. And in doing so, makes the Best Supporting Actress category, an all-white affair.
No Nomination for Lupita Nyong'o for Best Actress?
Here's the nominee that definitely gave Renée Zellweger a run for her money when it came to wins within critics associations. In fact, time after time, critics groups found Nyong'o performance in US at the top of their list. Nyong'o seemed another shoe-in for a nomination, but then she missed the cut for Golden Globes, and again with the Baftas. Slowly she has found herself out of contention. But wait, there was a light at the end of the tunnel. Maybe the Oscars would finally show Nyong'o some love. I personally thought she would squeak in there with a nomination. But sadly, that is not what we're reporting this morning. Nyong'o misses the mark on what should have been another Oscar nomination.
Say farewell to any nominations for The Farewell…
The Farewell was truly a surprise. The film is sweet and deeply moving. Hell, I cried at the end. However, the Academy saw differently. Lulu Wang, who did some of the best writing and directing this past year, but missed the nomination short list for Best Director AND Original Screenplay. In a movie as touching as this one, I would have expected SOMETHING for Wang's achievements. But the missed nominations for Wang aren't my biggest pet peeve. Awkwafina's missing nomination for Best Actress, is absolutely awful. Awkwafina, who's most known for her quirky, comedic side, provides one of the best dramatic roles of 2019. Sure, Awkwafina may have been a long shot, though she did win at the Golden Globes. The point here is that there needed to be something for The Farewell.
"Congratulations to all those MEN…"
We say we're making strides in taking the initiative to recognize women in film. And yet, here we are with another all male list of Best Director nominees. I don't believe on giving out awards to people because of the race, gender, etc., but for no women to be nominated is a travesty. Dear Academy, in case you need some possible nominees for this category, here' s what I came up with:
Greta Gerwig for Little Women
Lulu Wang for The Farewell
Lorene Scafaria for Hustlers
Marielle Heller for A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood
Alma Har'el for Honey Boy
Céline Sciamma for Portrait of a Lady on Fire
To say that there was not a single woman that directed an award winning film in 2019 is… well, I'm at a loss for words.
A Portrait of a Lady on Fire's chances for an Oscar nom just went up in flames.
I had a terrible feeling that this was going to happen. When Portrait of a Lady was announced as a nominee during the Golden Globes, there was a surprising lack of claps from the audience. Have they seen it? Did they not like it? I refuse to believe the latter statement, because Portrait of a Lady is an outstanding film. This movie is so beautiful it should have received a cinematography nomination as well. The film has yet to be released in theaters, so set a reminder on your calendars because it comes out February 14th. Maybe then, and only then, will audience members fully appreciate how wonderful this film is. In the wise words of Bong Joon Ho, "once you overcome the one-inch barrier of subtitles, you will be introduced to so many more amazing films."
And now for our leading men…
There was a shake up in the Best Actor category this morning. Taron Egerton was snubbed for his work in Rocketman, even after he won Best Actor (Comedy/Musical) at the Golden Globes. Take it or leave it, I know Rocketman isn't universally loved. However, Egerton is still better than Rami Malek's, Freddie Mercury. Why can't Egerton get, at least, a nomination? As for the other nominees, Robert DeNiro was left out of the cold after his performance in The Irishman. I'm not as upset by this as some, but it's definitely a surprise. And while DeNiro and Egerton will sit out on this one, Antonio Banderas managed to score a hist first-ever nomination for Pain and Glory.
It's a good surprise!
The nominations this morning had its share of good surprises. For example, Florence Pugh is a first-time Oscar nominee with her role of Amy in Little Women. I'm going to say it, and I'm sure I'm correct, Pugh is having one of the best years of her life. She has been able to solidify herself as one of the best actresses in film. I'm sure she continues to pinch herself, but it's well deserved. Another surprise from this morning was Scarlett Johannsson's entry into the Best Supporting Actress category, with her first ever Oscar nomination for Jojo Rabbit. Not only is Johannsson nominated for her role in Jojo Rabbit, but she also managed to receive a Best Actress nomination for Marriage Story. And although I'm extremely happy for Johannsson, I can't help but think she'll leave the Oscars empty handed. I will say that with the including Pugh and Johannsson in the mix, the Best Supporting Actress category suffers from a bit of, what I'm calling, "white blindness." It's so white, it's blinding. Again, I reference Lopez's absence from the nominations.
Joker and The Irishman lead nominations.
I'm sure Martin Scorsese is happy about Joker and The Irishman leading nominations. Even after Scorsese made comments that he had no desire to see Joker. Well, I guess you're going to have to see it now, Mr. Scorsese. He probably won't, and to be honest no academy voter watches all the movies that are nominated, but I digress… To see Joker come in with so many nominations, including Joaquin Phoenix's nomination for Best actor, is amazing. I know it's a darker "comic book" movie, but we have to take our wins where we can get them. This may be the turning point of implementing more blockbuster type films into the mix of the stereotypical Oscar films. As for The Irishman, there was no doubt that the film would run away with nominations. I expect them to get more love from the Academy voters than other previous award entities. I'm still holding out hope that Joe Pesci may have another Oscar in his future, but with Pesci and Al Pacino being in the same Best Supporting Actor category, there's a good chance they will split the vote, and neither of them will win.
There's always more room for more other nominees. And with the repetitive theme of not recognizing brilliant works between different ethnicities or genders, I think the Oscars are going to not be as "inclusive" as they should be. At least for a while. Overall, I am pleased with this morning's nominations. There are so many great films that truly exemplified cinema at its best, and I wish every nominee the best of luck!

Todd Russell says:
It's good to see streaming fairly well represented along with the new in theater offerings, Good eye on the lack of female directors. Greta Gerwig definitely deserves to be on the list.
Sarah C. says:
Great point about the streaming services! They've gotten so big, it's hard to deny them.
Lindsay Acland says:
Florence Pugh and Greta Gerwig are both super talented.⭐⭐
What a stellar performance from Pugh, and amazing direction from Greta!
Patricia Collins says:
I also was sad about Nyong'o, Lopez and the lack of women, especially in the Directing category. That list of possible nominees is a fine list of fabulous film viewing.
I also would like to see some love for Marvel films. I picked Endgame as my favorite film of 2019 because I think it represents a new direction of film (long-form serial) that I thought was done very well.
I'm also relieved that I did a good job catching up with potentials in December so I only have to see three film's to hit all of the major categories. It makes the shortened period between nominations and ceremony less chaotic and it means I will probably get to see more of the shorts.
Yeah, I know it was a long shot, but I'm a little surprised that Endgame didn't get any more nominations. I know they really pushed for the acting categories. That movie is great! Lots of fun!
I hope you catch up on all the big films before the Oscars.

Biografia
Nel 1706 dovette fuggire dalla nativa Napoli dopo esser stato accusato d'aver rubato del denaro alla tesoreria della Confraternita dell'Annunziata, della quale faceva parte. Quindi decise di recarsi a Roma, dove conobbe e studiò con il compositore Emanuele d'Astorga, con il quale viaggiò per alcuni anni attraverso l'Italia. Nel 1709, dopo aver cambiato nome in Benedetto Domenico Lalli, si stabilì a Venezia. Ivi dal 1710 al 1718 scrisse libretti per il Teatro San Cassiano, i quali vennero musicati dai più noti compositori veneziani. Nel 1719 diventò impresario del Teatro San Samuele e del Teatro San Giovanni Grisostomo. Nei primi anni '20 fu operativo al servizio del conte Franz Anton von Harrach, arcivescovo di Salisburgo, e dal 1727 al 1740 lavorò come poeta di corte presso l'imperatore Carlo VII a Vienna. Durante questo periodo egli poté fare la conoscenza con i grandi librettisti Pietro Metastasio e Carlo Goldoni, il quale celebrò spesso Lalli come un poeta geniale.

Ultimate Sound Bank PlugSound Vol. 05 World Of Synthesizers - огромная коллекция ретро и современных звуков синтезатора.
Центром этой коллекции стали пресеты, основанные на очень большом разнообразии аналога, цифрового, действительного аналога и синтезаторов программного расширения. Мир синтезаторов сосредотачивается на реальных звуках синтезатора, взятых из диапазона essenntial машин от дорогих автоматизированных рабочих станций, до специализированных звуковых модулей.
Категории синтезатора, предлагаемые в библиотеке, включают: Composites, Flutes, Voices, Tines & Bells, Basses (Acid, analog, disco/house, garage, electropop, hip hop/ R 'n B, sub, techno…), Pads, Soft Pads, Filter Sweeps, Analog Brass, Leads, Organs, Piano-like, Textures/Fx and Short-Reso.
World of Synthesizers offers 512 patches in total for over 600 MB of sounds, a huge collection of retro and modern synth sounds. The focus of this collection was to supply presets based on a very wide variety of analog, digital, virtual analog and plug-in synthesizers. World Of Synthesizers focuses on real synth sounds taken from a range of essenntial machines from expensive workstations to specialized sound modules. When compared with a recent sound mudule using samples, this Plugsound offers a variety of sounds equivalent to a recent sample-based expander with over thirty expansion cards.
Synth categories offered in the library include: Composites, Flutes, Voices, Tines & Bells, Basses (Acid, analog, disco/house, garage, electropop, hip hop/ R 'n B, sub, techno…), Pads, Soft Pads, Filter Sweeps, Analog Brass, Leads, Organs, Piano-like, Textures/Fx and Short-Reso.
Features Ultimate Sound Bank PlugSound Vol. 05 World Of Synthesizers.
Each volume comes with a "data file" full of multisampled presets that are easily accessed through the interface of the plug-in. There is enough space to offer in-depth exploration of a given instrument. It evens beats most professional CDROM, limited by archaic formatting conventions which leave only 200-300 megabytes per disc… No mess on your hard drive, just those two files.ВНИМАНИЕ!!! Перед скачиванием больших, разбитых на части архивов проверяйте все ссылки. Если хоть одну часть архива не удастся скачать, собрать весь архив невозможно.

Q: Heredocument indented inside a function fails on execution I have this a script containing a function and a function call. Inside the function there's an heredocument:
#!/bin/bash

DWA() {
    ......
    mysql -u root -p <<-MYSQL
        ......
    MYSQL
}
DWA

The problem
The execution breaks with an error regarding heredocument delimiter (likely, due to the delimiter MYSQL being indented).
The problem didn't happen when I removed all leads (whitespaces/tabs).
My question
Given functions strip all leading tabs (I don't know about other types of leads, like whitespaces), why do I encounter this problem and what, if at all, can be done against that?

A: You're probably not indenting your heredoc with tabs. Every line of the heredoc must be indented with a tab, including the first line (where the delimiter is introduced). Here is a test case for you:
echo -e 'function heredoc() {\n\tcat <<-HEREDOC\n\t\tThis is a test\tHEREDOC\n} heredoc' > heredoc.sh

Try running that command and then running heredoc.sh. You should get the following output:
This is a test.

Alternatively, here is the same script but with the first line indented with spaces instead of a tab:
    echo -e 'function heredoc() {\n    cat <<-HEREDOC\n\t\tThis is a test\tHEREDOC\n} heredoc' > heredoc2.sh

If we run heredoc2.sh we get the following error output:
bash heredoc2.sh
heredoc2.sh: line 4: warning: here-document at line 2 delimited by end-of-file (wanted `HEREDOC')
heredoc2.sh: line 5: syntax error: unexpected end of file

Floppycats.com was founded by the simple question of how to start a website. Well, maybe not exactly. After all, we knew we wanted to make a website about Ragdolls because we loved them so. Yet the challenge was knowing how to start a website.
We didn't pick the best platform in the beginning, but we eventually were lead to WordPress and found out how easy it was to have a website set up through Ninja Blog Setup.
Our goal wasn't to make money on the site, but rather to just break even so that Floppycats.com could stay online forever. Through The Blog Mastermind Coaching Program and the very helpful forums, we were able to figure out funding to start a website. We also use an awesome keyword tool, Wordtracker to find out what words people were searching for along with "Ragdoll Cat".
We just knew that we want to make a great website all about Ragdoll cats and general cat well-being and health care, for; after all, we love cats!
While we love cats, we know other people know more than we do about certain topics and have a lot to offer to the World Wide Web, so we decided to include this page on the site to offer the Ninja Blog Setup option to others who are thinking like we did, "Hey! I could do that! I want to do that!" We're having a blast doing this and want to share the fun.
We're always happy to help you in any way that we can too!
Are You A Breeder? Need To Revamp Your Site?
Perhaps you are breeder and looking to spice up your site, perhaps you don't need to know how to start a website. You just need to make yours better!
Ninja Blog Setup has great options for you, including an e-mail list that they set-up for you and all you have to do is send out the information! You don't worry about people signing up, because they sign up based on where you've placed the sign up box on your site.
You can tell them about Ragdoll kittens for sale, or about available adults or upcoming litters.
Ninja Blog Setup can also set up a page where previous clients can post their current stories and photos – adding loads of content to your site. Being able to read stories is always fun for people getting ready to adopt your kittens, as they know they will be able to share their kitty's story long after she or he leaves the cattery.
You can even have a payment key on your site, so that people can pay the deposit right on your site.
Maybe you are a Rescue that wants to introduce the World Wide Web to your program. Again, you can use an e-mail list to notify people of available cats – and they can stay on the list until they find the kitty they are looking for.
And even have pages where rescued parents can write about their experience to make your site more interactive. Whatever your interest Ninja Blog Setup can help you achieve your goals for a great website.
If you're still not sure if you want to go the Ninja Blog Setup route, that's okay. You can always contact us about how to start a website with your questions. You can also watch training videos and set it up all by yourself through Ninja Blog University.
You'll Need a Hip Logo for Your Site!
Image is every thing when you think of how to start a website. Think about the logos you know, like Apple, Coca Cola, and Sony. These companies have worked hard to emotionally brand their companies and websites and you will want to do the same. Logonerds.com can come up with several options for you. They also do business cards and much more. They are cheap too – just $27 for a logo!
The post has been excellent and I have referred it to many of my friends. I honor for the work that you have done. Thank you once again.
I found your blog by google as well. and I had made a tumblr to post about my ragdoll kittens, but after being told by many friends how wordpress is better, and reading it here as well, I just made the switch and I am still learning my way around there.
I loved your website. As soon as I learn how to put a link on wordpress, I will link to you!
thanks for the compliments – you will love wordpress. i definitely love it!
I just bought a domain today through WordPress. I will still see how I will do, but I guess I will end up using ninja blog setup as you suggested. We will see. I am taking baby steps.
3. make logo for website.
now I am searching what will be the logo for the website, after this is done I will focus more on the template. it is also expensive to build a website (the pro option with ninja blog costs more than 400 USD!), specially if you don't want to get money out of it, like me.
But thank you so much for the tips, they are helping a lot.
Unfortunately if you bought your hosting through Ninja Blog Setup he will set up your blog for free.
Go with LogoNerds, but I would suggest having an idea of what you want. If you want your kitties to be in the logo, be sure to have crystal clear photos without a lot of background to send to them.
Let me know what else I can help with!
I am having some problems to find out how to transform the site into a "proper website" with banner on top, search function and other links on the side, so on so forth. i can only find the free themes of wordpress, or paid ones that i don't like and don't think I could edit.
Sorry again for asking so much, it is really nice to have someone that went through all that before that is willing to help.
Don't apologize for the questions. I am on whatever one that allows you to have your own domain – cannot remember which. Shawn at Ninja Blog Setup set it all up for me, as technical stuff drives me nuts. Have you bought a hosting plan? If not, then just buy it through that free link, so that you can get Shawn to hook you up!
thank you once again for being so helpful!
Awesome – sounds wonderful. Excited to see it!
sorry to ask again, but you use wordpress.org or wordpress.com?
WordPress.org looks like – http://www.wpbeginner.com/beginners-guide/self-hosted-wordpress-org-vs-free-wordpress-com-infograph/?display=wide – again if you buy your hosting through Ninja Blog Setup he will set up your blog for free – it costs you no more than buying the hosting on your own!
I totally forgot – Ninja Blog Setup has a Ninja Blog University now – click here – it's training videos that trains you how to do everything!

For people with chronic pain, swimming is one of the best ways to stay active and healthy. Swimming laps in a pool is a low impact exercise that increases cardiovascular health while reducing stress on joints and muscles. If you're living with arthritis, or chronic leg, back or another type of pain then swimming is an excellent activity to stay in shape.
The motion of swimming uses many muscles in the back, legs, and arms. Swimming increases heart rate and lung capacity at a rate that rivals only running. Unlike running, however, swimming minimizes the impact on joints and is great for people rehabilitating from an injury or suffering from chronic pain.
Pain management is one great reason to swim, but there's another equally important reason: it's fun! Swimming, like all exercise, is proven to reduce stress in people who participate regularly. Staying in shape helps people suffering from chronic pain to manage their pain and relieve stress associated with such medical concerns.
In Charlotte, the Mecklenburg County Aquatic Center (MCAC) is a great resource for swimming year-round. Whether you're looking for a few laps in their 50-meter competition pool or a therapeutic water aerobics class MCAC has what you need to get started.
So whether you're experiencing chronic pain in your knees or just need a low-impact way to stay in shape while recovering from a sports related injury, swimming is a perfect activity.
If you are suffering from aches and pains, Dynamic Health provides sports performance treatments and programs. We offer new client appointments within one to three days, and we are one of the only pain management clinics to provide imaging-guided injections without a long wait. Our team of trained specialists can aid your recovery and ease pain associated with certain ailments.
