On Galway Kinnell
By Sam Hamill, Ada Limón, Robert Wrigley, Jennifer L. Knox, C. Dale Young, Natalie Diaz, Dana Levin, Lytton Smith
Poet Galway Kinnell passed away on October 28, 2014. We asked a number of poets and critics to reflect on his life and his work.

Galway Kinnell
ONE OF THE FIRST encounters I ever had with contemporary poetry was with Galway Kinnell's poem "The Night" in his 1994 collection, Imperfect Thirst. I was a freshman in college and I wrote poems furiously but still in a kind of secret, although I was beginning to have friends who were interested in poetry. I had two: Sarah and Steve, and sometimes they would come over to my dorm room to hang out and read poems. It was a lucky break when one night Sarah brought over the book and read a few poems and then said, oh oh you must hear this one, and the poem was "The Night."
The poem is one of a completely sublime sexual encounter. Two lovers are talking and sharing their thoughts and feelings and then the scene erupts in lovemaking, a kind of slippery embrace, where they resemble wet amphibians or babies in all of the best ways, where the woman "glisses smooth and shining/ as the lower lip of a baby tantalizing its gruel bowl/ with lengthening and shortening dangles of drool" and they both are "cackling" in "chaotic rattles,/ like a straw suddenly sucking the bottom," until finally "the glue joining body and soul does not ache." Theirs is an immortal love and by the end of the poem, they are the universal lovers, an emblem of true love, "lying on this bed since before the earth began."
After Sarah read us the poem, I must have looked dumbfounded, because when she said, I know, don't we all want a love like that, I agreed vehemently, shaking my head all around. As I look back, in many ways, I have searched my whole life since for just this exact scene, in both the real life and in poetry. Galway Kinnell was one of those poets who made both the ideal real and the ideal poem — the impossible — seem possible. It's hard to believe a poet like this could be gone already. He will be missed.

Roughly 25 years ago, while still a college student, on my monthly visit to the Grolier Poetry Bookstore in Cambridge, I ran across a copy of When One Has Lived a Long Time Alone by Galway Kinnell. I could only afford to pick up one book that day, and the storeowner told me if I were to going to buy one new book of poetry, it should be that one. I bought it, and read it that evening. What I remember most was feeling that this poetry arose from a deeply genuine person. I have read that book of poetry many times since then. I went on to one by one seek out Kinnell's other books. Kinnell's poems often skirted that ground between darkness and gratitude, but I came to love his poems because they reminded me that no matter how beautiful the exterior world, the interior world was just as important, many times more important.
I never met Galway Kinnell in person. I had the chance to do so once at a reading in New York. I sat and listened to the man. And afterward, he was swarmed by admirers wanting books signed, to talk, et cetera. After the reading, I sat and watched him signing and talking, and when the line diminished, when I should have gotten up and walked down to tell the man how much his work meant to me, I saw in his face a kind of relief that the line was ending. Instead of joining the line, I walked out into the New York night happy just to have heard the man read his poems aloud. That voice. I hear it every time I read his poems.

The Book of Nightmares
In some professor's office, I eyed the corpse-man on the cover, two lines raying out from his mouth stoppered by human-headed bird-souls. Galway Kinnell, the cover said, The Book of Nightmares. Inevitably a copy of it ended up in my dorm room; inevitably, it kept traveling with me: the same copy, 30 years old and beat to shit, that I opened this morning upon news that Galway had died.
When I first read it, at 19, it seemed a book of myths, archetypal and chthonic. I'd read "The Shoes of Wandering" over and over, lingering over the moment where the Crone holds up the speaker's "crystal skull to the moon," passing his "shoulder bones / across the Aquarian stars," saying, "poor fool, / poor forked branch / of Applewood, you will feel all your bones / break / over the holy waters you will never drink."
Fifteen years later, getting ready to teach it for the first time, I was shocked by how dated the poems seemed: those "Aquarian stars" a 1970s tell. It was 1999 and a lot of us were in the vivid sway of language poetics, the resurgent wave of the New York School. The Wall had fallen and The Towers still stood; nothing seemed more trapped in time than the poetry of Deep Image, which in "The Book of Nightmares" meant bears in rain and a section devoted to the forever burning corpse of Viet Nam. I felt, too, some chagrin, because between first reading the book at 19 and reading it at 34, I'd had the incredible fortune to study with Galway in the graduate writing program at NYU. I learned more about teaching workshop as a student in Galway's classes than in any mandatory TA practicum. He was an incredibly astute and empathic workshop leader, with an uncanny capacity to offer praise without coddling, criticism without cruelty. His teaching, at least to me, seemed egoless and exact and kind.
At semester's end, Galway and Sharon Olds would take the poetry students into the country: a long weekend to write and workshop and talk about poetry, and make big dinners and drink a lot of red wine. One night someone got up the courage to ask Galway how it had felt to write "The Book of Nightmares." I'll never forget the look on his face as he said, with feeling, "That — was pure poetry, it wrote itself —" He looked stricken, and awed, and strangely sad, like the Muse of that book — why? — had not stayed.
Reading the book again this morning, I'm struck by how aware the speaker is, through the violent love he feels for his newborn daughter, that corruption thrives everywhere, unstoppable. He bequeaths to her, in poem after poem, the wisdom that the tension between love and death powers the world. Love will try to suck the rot from a fingernail; necks broken, we will try to hold up our heads with our hands. This is the eternal stuff of poetry, beyond the particulars of literary history and fashion. In his writing and his teaching, Galway brought the brute truths and the beauty — which is why you should "open / this book, even if it is the book of nightmares."
— Dana Levin
In '68 or '9, I attended a reading at the Unitarian Church in Isla Vista, near UCSB. I went with Kenneth Rexroth. Galway Kinnell said he was "premiering a new poem from the current Poetry magazine," and read "The Bear." Also remember "Vapor Trail Reflected in a Frog Pond" and his anti-war and pro-civil rights comments. I was a Vet in college, deeply anti-war and also involved in civil rights. I ran for California Assembly in '68. Then Phil Levine got up and said, "I sometimes hate this country for what it does to us." And he read a "new poem," "They Feed They Lion." It was an evening featuring David Ray's and Bly's group, Poets Against the War in Vietnam. Memorable night.
— Sam Hamill
Reading "Wait"
Galways Kinnell's poetry has taught me to look toward the goodness of the self — that we each have in us a self that deserves to be praised, to be rallied, to be again and again helped up, despite the bad we might do or suffer. His poems remind me of the limits and possibilities of my life, of the cathedralesque bodies we have been gifted with to kneel in, to beg in, to be lost in, to fail in, to be exalted in day after day.
I first read Kinnell's poem "Wait" on a bus swaying a road silhouetted with olive trees at the tail end of a trip from Çannakale to Akçay, after losing a Turkish league basketball game in Istanbul. We lost badly. We lost the whole season. During that life, I thought everything was about basketball, including this poem.
The game of basketball offered me a tenderness that might be surprising to some, especially considering the ways I broke my body and my mind for it, considering the dangerous balance of confidence and humility I learned to rein in and control, considering how I was never there to play but to win. Yet the game was a space where I never aimed for perfection, where my imperfection was what made me good. Turnovers, caught screens, and missed shots, fueled every steal I picked, every jumper I nailed, every pass I threaded that led to a bucket. The exhaustion I drove my body toward was what allowed me to appreciate my luck in this body, to marvel at the hourly miracle of it. All this was a type of tenderness, the tenderness of appreciating of loving the self and all the moments it fills or is filled with. This world knows how to break us, and as a result, we have a hard time forgiving ourselves the losings that make us. We don't often allow ourselves this simple act: recognition of how hard it is to exist in whatever ways we manage that existence, recognition of the commitment it takes to be always failing and always trying to win a minute, an hour, a jumper, a poem, never mind a day or a week.
Today this poem (as most of his poems do) offers me something similar to what it did back in Turkey on that bus in that I am allowed to begin again, each time with the possibility for goodness just at my fingertips. Goodness is waiting in old gloves that are forever remade lovely, that make us remember our own beautiful hands. Even while I know these same hands are capable of holding dark things, of dropping or letting slip things made of light, I am given permission to see my own hands newly. Whether I see them as wonderfilled or empty and open for the next wondrous thing, what a luckiness to see myself new and deserving of a goodness that might be on the other side.
We have been taught a thing is ugly or beautiful, empty or full, but I am learning what Kinnell's poetry has been saying to me, a thing is always both ugly and beautiful, always empty and full. "The need / for the new love is faithfulness to the old," he says, and suddenly I am given permission to be good, to be always better no matter what bad I have done or will do. I am free to do the next best thing, to accept my losings as lucky gracious things for what good they might bring.
— Natalie Diaz
All day the news of Galway Kinnell's death has seeped into my tiny office like a sneaky yellow animal grief. It is not the grief of losing a loved one. It is not the grief of losing a hand I've held intimately, or in desire. It is the grief that comes at first slowly and then stubbornly nuzzles at my feet so I notice, because I am ignoring it, because I feel undeserving of this cold yellow thing that surrounds the books and cups that litter my desk. What did I know of the man? Not much. I remember him, his giant bear-like figure cutting an outline against the classroom windows as significant as the Washington Square Arch. I remember his dark brown slacks and tweed blazer that made him look so handsomely stuck in the 1970s, even those square brown glasses perched on his nose to read a poem. But mainly, I remember the poems. One of the first poems of his I ever heard, from the Dodge Poetry Festival videos, was "After Making Love We Hear Footsteps," and there was something so unabashedly honest about the way he admitted us into his bedroom, said the word "come-cry" so that it was both gentle and shocking all at once. His voice was new to me then, a booming yet tremulous thing that existed in a place where men could be both commanding and alarmingly raw. Then, later at NYU where he was a guest lecturer at a few of our craft classes and read poems so that, even now, I can only think of them read in his own voice. I did not know him better because I could barely speak when he was teaching. I was a newbie and a nobody and he was Galway Kinnell. His presence somehow rendered me tongue-less and there was nothing I could do but watch how he pressed his glasses up, and ran his fingers through his hair, a gesture that was both boyish and wise, when someone asked him a question. I think now of how speechless he made me then, and how I wished I had said something after class or later at the holiday party where even wine wasn't making me brave enough. Now, I'm at my desk, late October sun flooding in like some extreme spotlight and still I'm wordless. Except, these poems. His poems. These still-singing poems that will go on and on if we keep them alive with our grateful mouths. So I've been reading them over and over, all day. I think of that story I heard once of a bunch of poets in a bar asking Galway if he'd recite, "The Bear," and when he did and they were all in awe, they simply shouted, "Again!" And he began again. In my mind it went on all night. That's how I feel now, I want to point in the direction of the universe from which he came and shout, "Again!"

Thank You, Dave: On Galway Kinnell
It was 1975 (or maybe '74), in the fall, Missoula, Montana. I was a graduate student, and Galway Kinnell was reading. Dick Hugo introduced Kinnell by saying he was the unlikeliest of rarities: a good-looking poet. He was, of course, and he seemed not to mind Dick's ribbing. He had an amazing, charismatic presence for sure.
I'd only read Body Rags then, and I was pretty sure I loved it, especially "The Bear." I remember hoping he would read that poem, but he didn't. Instead he read the entirety of The Book of Nightmares. It must have taken about 50 minutes. He gave the briefest of introductions, saying he was going to read just one long poem, and started in. If I felt any disappointment, it went away quickly.
The Book of Nightmares is, well, spellbinding, and his reading of it was beautifully intoned. I remember the lines from near the end of the first canto, "Under the Maud Moon": "this peck / of stunned flesh / clotted with celestial cheesiness." And I remember wondering how one could possibly arrive at such a strange and unlikely description, its almost whispered sibilant assonances: "FLESH" and "ceLESTial" and "cheesiNESS." And I remember thinking "cheesiness"? Celestial cheesiness? But I didn't think about if for long. I just held on, as the rest of us in that audience did, unable to think about anything but what we were hearing.
Somewhere in the '80s I found an inscribed, hardcover first edition of The Book of Nightmares. I've always wondered if the "Dave" to whom it was inscribed had died, and if his books had been sold to Powell's as a lot, or if Dave himself had traded it in on something he thought might be better, even as I've always understood such a hope as that was very unlikely to be.
That copy is one of four I own today. One of them is my teaching copy. The pages of this one are so filled with my annotations that here and there the text is hard to make out. The possible derivation of the verb "droozed" is there. Much of the rest of it is just me making a happy fool of myself: "Holy Shit!" half a dozen times; "Yes!" and "This!" dozens each. By coincidence, I ordered texts for a seminar in the contemporary long poem yesterday, and one of the books will be The Book of Nightmares. Then this morning, I heard of Kinnell's death, and I thought immediately of that reading in Missoula, maybe 40 years ago, and that feeling I felt, that afternoon long ago, I felt again today. Then I went to my study and opened my best copy (thank you, Dave), and began to read and to feel it again.

Galway Kinnell was a guest lecturer in a craft of poetry class I was taking at NYU. There was no announcement that he would be filling in, so finding this seven-foot-tall stranger in our classroom was surreal. He was gigantic — especially his ears and head from which his stiff hair stood out like a panda's. I had no idea who he was, and he did not bother introducing himself. "I'm here because your teacher is sick," he said, as if we were in kindergarten. He said he wanted to read some poems that everyone thought were great but actually weren't. He passed out a Xerox of "Leda and the Swan" and read it aloud. After hearing one line in his resonant voice, I knew the old man was a serious pro — a ringer. "Who is that?" I asked the student sitting next to me. "Galway Kinnell," she whispered and rolled her eyes. "A lot of these lines are just terrible, right?" he asked. We all looked painfully confused. Finally someone read a line from the poem as a kind of question: "The feathered glory from her loosening thighs"? He nodded and grinned, "Bingo." I'd never had permission to think Yeats was anything other than perfect. He spent the remainder of the class talking about classic poems. He'd us questions but could rarely hear the shy students' answers. "What?" he 'd ask once, twice, shrug, and then ask another question. I was dazzled by the grace with which he navigated words all those words he could not hear. Three years later, his poem "Shelley" appeared in The New Yorker, a poem about the destructiveness of appetites, penned by such a seeming gentle giant, and I knew: he had indeed heard it all.

Living in the Poem — The Reassurance of Galway Kinnell's The Book of Nightmares
When a writer is gone, words written in the past echo back, and beyond, into some unknown time.
As for these words scattered into the future —
is one invented too deep in its past
to hear them.
When are Galway Kinnell's poems? These are lines that caution both against a prideful desire to live on beyond our time and against too quick a forgetting, the necessary lessons of history learned but forgotten.
These lines are from The Book of Nightmares, Kinnell's 1971 book-length poem, part-Vietnam War protest, part-catalog of the horrors of the 20th century. The Book of Nightmares was Kinnell's way of looking out at the world around him and trying to change the minds of those who were also looking at American involvement in Vietnam. But balanced in the scales, weighted against the epic sweep of war, where "a few bones / lie about in the smoke of bones," Kinnell gently places his two children, Maud and Fergus, to whom the book is dedicated, and to whom he speak at the end of the first section, writing "you shall open / this book, even if it is the book of nightmares."
Too easily we usher children into warzones, and then into our discussions of war, as if to say, it is only the children who make us regret war. That is not Kinnell's lesson. The arresting peculiarity of The Book of Nightmares is the way it speaks at times to the adult selves of Maud and Fergus, "you yourself / some impossible Tuesday / in the year Two Thousand and Nine." What matters about children is not their fragility, their innocence, or their newness: what matters is their connection to voice and song, to what we might pass on to one another. How a child "puts / her hand / into her father's mouth, to take hold of / his song."
Within Galway Kinnell's poems, the present is so often at stake: think of the unflinching preparation for hunting in "The Bear." The present is what we might, if we are not careful, lose, too wrapped-up in the projected future, or caught back when was, committing "the error / of thinking / one day all this will only be memory." Such lines cannot be reduced to the truism that we should live in the now: while these poems urge us to notice ourselves now, where "here, / here is the world," they can only do so because even the child will "tell / the sun, don't go down" or "the flower, don't grow old, / don't die." The presents pushes itself to the forefront of the senses because of the memories of birth, the "pre-tremblings" of death.
On the river the world floats by holding one corpse.
Stop here.
Living brings you to death, there is no other road.
Kinnell's willingness to write death into his nightmare-book, and to write that nightmare to and for his children, amounts to no pessimism — quite the opposite. It is while we are living that we must encounter death, part of our travels. To write of the dead, as Kinnell does, is to assert also the vitality of being alive, because we know life must come to death in the end.
The poem does not, I think, seek posterity: why be so future-scattered, or past-forgotten? No: it seeks an ear, a voice, a mind, brightness. It might find posterity, but it does not seek it. The poem is that living presence we might find in each other's mouths. Kinnell has given us at least that. His poems urge us not to make of poetry a relic, but to keep it living, a road for traveling.

Comic legend Grant Morrison has spent the past few years trying to get his passion project film script, Sinatoro, off the ground. Well, we're finally going to get to see the story — just not exactly as intended.
With the film effort stalled, Morrison has cut a deal with Black Mask Studios to adapt Sinatoro as a comic run. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the original film script was conceived as a "modern take on the Tibetan Book of the Dead," but it turned out the story was a bit too ambitious for just one film. So while he tries to figure out how to make that work, he's going to make a run at a comic version.
Here's the plot, in a nutshell: Sinatoro follows a necronaut who is sent into the afterlife to save Earth from destruction. It draws influences from the western genre and the classic American highway Route 66. It's something Morrison considers his magnum opus of sorts, and we're glad he'll finally get a chance to tell it.
Morrison has teamed up with artist Vanesa Del Ray for the comic. Del Ray has an extremely unique style, and we can't wait to see how her skill set helps brings the story to life. The book is scheduled to hit shelves on April 2015. Black Mask is an upstart transmedia and publishing company founded by comic-book writer Steve Niles, Epitaph Records CEO Brett Gurewitz and Halo-8's Matt Pizzolo.
The Sinatoro release is actually just one small part of a massive new phase of releases, and if nothing else, it's nice to see another indie publisher willing to take a shot on some ambitious stuff. Here's hoping Sinatoro is worth the wait.


Work can do more than dampen your spirits — it can make you physically sick.
While the daily drudgeries of office life are enough to make anyone a bit soul sick, sometimes the workplace can actually make you physically ill. It's aptly called "sick building syndrome," and it can directly affect your productivity. Here are six ways that our office buildings are slowly damaging our health and sanity.
You know you're in an office when you hear the quiet, crushing drone of fluorescent lights. As it turns out, they don't just look horrible, they make us tired by messing up our circadian rhythm.
New research published in Behavioral Neuroscience indicates that without sunshine, workers are "significantly sleepier" in the late afternoon than those who are able to soak up some sun during the day.
That helps explains the 3 p.m. slump — and why in-office headaches are easier to come by than a decent cup of coffee. Indeed, artificial light exposure brings with it eye strain, dull headaches – even migraines.
It's even worse for those who can spot the fact that fluorescent lights are always flickering; as a consequence, these sight-sensitive individuals can experience anxiety on top of eye strain and sleepiness.
What can be done? It might be a tough sell to ask your boss to replace fluorescent lighting with incandescent bulbs or put in more windows, which is why you should focus on the benefits.
And there are a ton of them: One case study of a Reno, Nevada post office shows that a lighting system renovation yielded an immediate and striking increase in worker productivity — $500,000 per year kind of productivity.
Alternatives to lighting replacement include waking up earlier to get some pre-work sunshine, or taking your breaks outdoors – weather permitting.
Fights over the office temperature have likely occurred since the invention of the thermostat — and women tend to get the short end of the stick. This, scientists say, is likely because the decades-old formula used to calculate optimal office temperature is based on men's metabolic rates, which means that women are often left shivering.
Differences in the physiology of the sexes aside, an International Journal of Epidemiology study has linked an increase in the use of air conditioning to difficulty breathing, irritated skin, headache, and fatigue.
This research also compares the health of those who work in air conditioning to those who don't – and finds a larger number of people with these symptoms work in air conditioned environments. The study found that those who work in air-conditioned offices also missed more work days due to illness.
While a number of variables can explain the difference between these groups' health, what isn't up for debate is how air conditioners' very functioning exposes us to pollutants. According to the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), because cooled air from an AC unit recirculates, it exposes us to more pollutants.
Mold, dander, and other irritants continually swirl around the office, making those who are allergic miserable. And as with everything, discomfort equals distraction, so productivity plummets when workers are too cold – or too hot.
What can be done? Try cracking a window and see if anyone notices. Suggest cleaning the carpets and curtains (if your office has them) to decrease the allergens that live there. Get a good moisturizer, and — if you're a woman — bring a blanket for comfort.


I don't yet know what to make of The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa. Seemingly developed by one guy in Russia, The Friends of Ringo Ishikawa sees you play as a directionless high school thug who is threatened with expulsion from his school, which he hardly attends due to spending all his time getting into gang fights. It's like a tribute to NES classic River City Ransom or some sorta slice of life anime like Cromartie High School which I've never watched but Deguello says is a parody.
There's no handholding, no markers, no world map. My first night I just wandered around until 4am because I couldn't find my house, dashing past rival gangs fighting under the bridge. Eventually I stumbled in and put myself to bed for a couple of hours before getting up to goto school again. The following days I found that if I just got into fights until I lost, I'd wake up in my bedroom.
The game has an incredible openness to it. You can just explore the town, get in fights, talk to girls, read books at the library or the cafe, goto class or ditch it, I mean who cares right? The game itself feels directionless, reflecting the titular character's outlook on life.
Playing around in the menus I found a hunger status, I hadn't really been eating much because food cost so much and I hadn't figured out how to make money. There was some indication that a scholarship might earn me a living, but I was getting Fs. Fortunately I discovered that I could rob the pockets of fallen foes. This discovery came on the Saturday though and I regretted all the hapless saps I had failed to fleece of their change earlier in the week while spending my last yen on some vegetarian rice at the local café.
Many games today are like a bong hit, giving you a surge of instant gratification. The Friends of Ringo Ishikara is more like a cigarette. It takes a while to consume and the reward isn't so much what you're smoking but the melancholy of the moment. The time you have to yourself. I've only played a couple of hours, I have no idea how long the game is. I imagine I'll get there, but there's no rush.
I'm playing through the game as well, and am really enjoying it.
I've been considering getting this game… this impression sold me on it.

Snøhetta Chosen to Design Le Monde Headquarters in Paris

https://www.archdaily.com/588448/snohetta-chosen-to-design-le-monde-headquarters-in-paris
French media company Le Monde Group has chosen Snøhetta to design their new headquarters in Paris. Clad with a pixelated matrix of glass that offers varying degrees of transparency, the building's distinct facade will be embedded with clusters of LEDs that project "abstracted levels of data," symbolically representing the group's continuous "flow of information."
"The intention is that the façade gives the building a homogenous character when viewed from distance, but at the same time reveals a greater level of complexity as the view approaches – like headlines and detailed content in a news story," says Snøhetta. "The façade patterns are intended to represent the building as a complete volume, while the distorted pixel map creates a rich tapestry from inside and out."
"Our approach has been one of subtraction, taking first a block filling the entire site and subtracting volumes to create entrance areas and public spaces. The subtracted volumes also relate to the existing site planning restrictions and the capacities of the structural grid. The result is that the building becomes a bridge, literally spanning across the site, but also representing the bridge between Le Monde and its readers."
Split in two halves, the building will be internally connected by an "occupied bridge" that forms a vaulted public space at the center of the site along the Avenue De France. Near the street, the plaza will offer an "open, inviting, and activated by a visitor center, auditorium entrance, and staff entrance." Near the railway will be a café with intimate seating and green areas.

Kyiv: LPR and DPR representatives are invited to Donbas talks by OSCE
Friday, May 22, 2020 11:00:00 AM
Representatives of the so-called Donetsk and Luhansk People's Republics are invited to the meetings of the Trilateral Contact Group by the OSCE, said Ukrainian Minister for Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories Oleksii Reznikov, as quoted by Novyny Donbasu.
"The OSCE invites them. They think they have the right to represent the territories, and I don't think so, we don't think so," he said.
According to Reznikov, Ukraine "should not coordinate with the aggressor country [Russia] participation in the meetings of internally displaced persons".
"They don't agree with us when we bring someone. It is the delegation's sovereign right to determine who will be included in it," Reznikov added.
Earlier, it was reported that Ukraine's Permanent Representative to the international organizations in Vienna, Yevhen Tsymbalyuk, showed the OSCE copies of Russian passports of DPR and LPR representatives, who, as he claimed, were invited to the Trilateral Contact Group by Russia.

North West got her mother's good looks and her father's musical talents.
On her second birthday, family friend Larsa Pippen, wife to NBA pro Scottie Pippen, shared an Instagram video of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West's little girl dancing to Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora's 2014 hit "Black Widow." (Apparently, no one told her Rita was her Uncle Rob Kardashian's ex-girlfriend).
"I had to sneak Sophia into the hospital the day you were born and I knew that the two of you would be trouble together lol," Larsa, a mother of four, Instagrammed. "Love the dance moves. Happy Birthday North we love you so much."
North received lots of birthday messages from her famous family.
"She's two!" Kourtney Kardashian wrote. "Happy birthday to my first little angel niece Nori!!!"
She's two! Happy birthday to my first little angel niece Nori!!!

Bill Belichick: Patriots are taking Antonio Brown situation 'one day at a time'

PUBLISHED: September 11, 2019 at 12:24 pm | UPDATED: September 11, 2019 at 7:58 pm
FOXBORO — During a four-minute session at the podium Wednesday, Bill Belichick declined to comment on the civil lawsuit filed against new Patriots wide receiver Antonio Brown.
Brown is being accused of sexually assaulting and raping his former trainer, Britney Taylor.
In her lawsuit, Taylor alleges that Brown sexually assaulted her twice in June 2017 and raped her in May 2018.
Through his lawyer, Brown denied the allegations.
Brown's attorney, Darren Heitner, said in a statement "any sexual interaction (Taylor) had with Mr. Brown was entirely consensual."
"On Antonio's situation, both Antonio and his representatives have made statements, so I'm not going to be expanding on any of those," Belichick said. "They are what they are. We've looked into the situation. We're taking it very seriously, all the way through the organization. I'm sure there are questions, but I'm not going to be entering into any discussion about that."
Brown was present on the practice field Wednesday, sporting the No. 1 jersey. Belichick would not commit to Brown playing on Sunday against the Dolphins, however.
"We're taking it one day at a time, just like we always do," Belichick said.
When asked if the Patriots were aware of the allegations against Brown before signing him, Belichick said, "I'm not going to be expanding on the statements that have been given."
"When we know more, we'll say more," he responded to a follow-up question.
Brown's agent, Drew Rosenhaus, appeared on ESPN's SportsCenter on Wednesday afternoon and denied the allegations against Brown. Like Belichick, he declined to provide an answer when asked directly about the Patriots' knowledge of Brown's situation.
"I'm not going to get into that element," Rosenhaus said. "I'm not going to get into my discussions with the Patriots or who may or may not have been discussed."
It's unclear if the Patriots were aware of the allegations prior to signing Brown on Monday. According to Rosenhaus, Brown knew there was a chance a lawsuit was going to be filed.
"The moment I learned about the lawsuit, Antonio and I have been unfortunately anticipating this possibility," Rosenhaus told ESPN. "I want to emphasize, Antonio takes these allegations seriously. He's a loving father of five children, including a daughter. I myself am a father. I have two children, two daughters I love very much, along with my wife. I wouldn't be doing this interview if I didn't believe Antonio. These allegations are false. He denies every one of them. I am very confident that his legal team has facts that will prove this. All we can ask for is that people keep in mind that this is a civil matter, this is not a criminal matter. This is a civil case right now, and there is a procedure."
Despite initial reports, the Allegheny County (Penn.) District Attorney is not pursuing a case against Brown.
Mike Manko, a spokesman for the district attorney, said the office was never contacted regarding the alleged sexual assaults that occurred at Brown's home in the Pittsburgh area in June 2017. The Northern Regional Police Department did, however, contact the district attorney "concerning a possible child endangerment situation involving Mr. Brown," Manko said. The district attorney decided it "could not move forward with investigating that claim."
The Miami-Dade State Attorney's Office is not pursuing a case at this time. Taylor alleges that Brown raped her after a night out in Miami in May 2018.
"As criminal prosecutors, we always encourage all victims of sexual assaults to report these matters to the police for proper investigation. Having reviewed our records, we found no prior police investigative contacts regarding these allegations or these individuals," said Ed Griffith, spokesman for the Miami-Dade state attorney's office. "We will be reaching out to the pertinent police agencies to determine if they had any prior contacts or investigations. If such police investigations exist, we would certainly be interested in those reports and any related evidence gathered."
The NFL is launching an investigation into the sexual assault and rape allegations against Brown, according to a statement from the Patriots.
Belichick fielded 13 questions on the Brown situation during his Wednesday press conference, but provided few answers.
Asked about his conversations with Brown, Belichick said, "I'm done with that, OK? Anything else on Miami? Any other questions?"
Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, who practiced with Brown for the first time on Wednesday, did not comment on the allegations.
"Things that don't involve me, don't involve me," Brady said.
When asked if Brown was actually staying at Brady's house, the quarterback said, "Yeah, I'm not getting into all that."
Patriots special teams captain Matthew Slater said he wasn't comfortable discussing Brown's situation.
"I don't want to minimize the serious nature of (the allegations), but I don't feel as though I'm qualified to really speak to it because I don't know anything about it," Slater said.
Added Patriots safety Devin McCourty: "It's serious. I don't think anybody sits in here and doesn't realize how serious that situation is and everything. But I think, from a football standpoint, we have to be prepared to go out there and play against the Dolphins on Sunday because that's what our job calls for us to do. I'm sure, just like you guys, everyone in this locker room has different opinions and all of that. But at the end of the day when we come here, our job is to come to prepare and play."
McCourty said the players will make an effort to get to know Brown in the next week or so.
"I think for the most part you always try to judge people on what you get from them and you try to get to know someone," McCourty said. "I think this is a little different. He's going through a personal situation and, personally, none of us really know him yet. We're just starting to get to know (him). So I think that's what you try to do, you try to get to know anybody new that comes in here."

NHL Sunday Notes: Lack of discipline from league leaves too much in players' hands


I was hoping to post fabulous shots of snowflakes today but, alas, while the snowfall we received yesterday was the right consistency (the light and fluffy kind), the bitter cold and gusty winds made an already difficult process pretty much impossible. (Those of you who have ever tried to shoot super-macro know exactly what I mean).
But since I already had my 3-Ring Extension Tube Set affixed to the 105mm macro lens, I went back to the Dianthus blooms to see what more of the love story those curly stamens might have to tell.
Now you must realize, these flowers are the size of a US penny (3/4″ or 19.06 mm), with the stamens as small as a straight pin!
Now the closer one gets, the more consideration one must pay to the tiniest of details as they will be magnified ten-fold in the resulting image.
I'll explain. Down at the microscopic level (okay, okay, they aren't that small), life can be well, quite dusty. I didn't notice the dust before when I was shooting with just the macro lens, but now I found myself pulling small dust bunnies off of the stamens with tweezers! Seriously!
Yes, at times it can be frustrating but, if you persevere, you get a bug's eye view into a secret world, where trials of love and betrayal play out on tiny colorful stages.
They sure do look amazing, and the light so perfect too… I know the troubles of which you speak, and I've only done standard macro photography… Must consider getting some tubes mefinks, but I know I'd not be able to compete on the flower front.
After I almost froze my fingers off outside attempting to shoot the snowflakes (wanting to toss my camera across the yard in the process), I was determined to produce something decent to salvage the day!
Well, I'd say you salvaged the day!!
Ah yes, the dusty flowers.. sometimes accompanied by tiny tiny spider webs too.. Been there. I really like the second shot, composition is great and I LOVE the little curly shadow too, I think that makes the shot. Well done.
Hello Anna! Welcome! 🙂 Nice stuff on your photo blog! Those frost photos are amazing!
Thanks so much! That curly shadow is what drew me at first and I took a TON of images at all different angles and composition trying to get the story just right.
My sensor is really dirty 😦 I don't want to send it in and be without a camera for a couple of weeks, but I'm too chicken to clean it myself.
Girl, you need to get yourself to a place where they will show you how to clean your sensor and focussing screen! It isn't that difficult and there are so many YouTube videos out there. You will kick yourself for being chicken! The dust would drive me crazy!
I love how you imagine a story unfolding among the flowers – so creative. Your macro world is amazing. As you pointed out in my last macro post, those tubes certainly do make you see things you didn't realize were there!
One time, I was shooting dandelions and was totally surprised to see through my lens w/ext tubes the teeniest bug crawling all over it!
I am totally getting into this story. I never thought people stacked extension tubes onto macros. If you macro goes to 1:1, where are you with the tubes attached?
With that said, without the extension tubes, the 105mm has 1:1 ratio, with a working distance of 6 inches. From what I am reading in the above referenced discussion, all three tubes stacked onto the 105 supply 2.37x magnification and a working distance of around 2 inches.
Downside is, AF does not work and it takes some practice maneuvering the camera in and out to get sharp images. Also, you lose several stops of light so things need to be well lit. DOF is also VERY shallow. Tripod is a must and so is remote control shutter with delay shutter release. Can get frustrating but when it works, the results are amazing!
Love the selective focus on the stamens – I think I like Forgive me the best of this nice bunch.
I'm all too familiar with the awful discovery that when you get close there's lots of stuff visible that you wish weren't there.
You'll get that snowflake image! You might want to try combining a 1.4 or 1.7 teleconverter on the macro lens along with tubes – that way you'll get more working distance.
I never thought it possible to stack a teleconvertor along with the extension tubes (and I have both the 1.4 and the 1.7)! Giving away your secrets, huh? 😉 Much appreciated! I will indeed have to try it!
Do you ever have trouble with the extension tube/macro lens combo locking up and giving an F0 (F-zero) on the screen? I may have been trying to push the focus too far when this happen but sometimes I think the stack isn't staying locked into the camera's rings. Just another frustrating thing that occurs when I'm all set to shoot!
I admire your dedication, dusting your subjects mote by mote 🙂 The detail in these shots are incredible!
It's so sad… even the botanicals are splitting up?!
All My Stamens – good one, I'd watch that soap opera.
I prefer the flowers to snowflakes. They remind me of a spring that I am all but ready for.
very cool. you very much make me want to get all up in the business of things. the shadow is an interesting detail, too!
These are beautiful macros! I think I need extension tubes on my 100mm macro.
I dunno…yep. The second one, with the shadow: that's my favorite.
Outer space photos like Lynns blog,lol.
What a beautiful blog you have, a nice mixture and very colourful.
Thanks so much, Imac! It does look like an alien world when you get down to such a small level! that's what keeps me going back again and again!
I have only ever come up with one truly successful macro shot.
I love the silvery stamens (?) of the flower!
Thanks, SWK! The stamens are exactly what drew me to shoot these tiny blossoms!

A View From The Hook: 10 Days Left of "PortSide New York" Activities @ the Atlantic Basin on the Red Hook Waterfront.
10 Days Left of "PortSide New York" Activities @ the Atlantic Basin on the Red Hook Waterfront.
PortSide New York has been bringing some fantastic programs to the Atlantic Basin over the last six weeks. Since the beginning of July they've brought tall ship sails, ferry tours of the harbor, educational tours on the historic tug "Cornell", youth programs, tours of their flagship vessel, the Mary Whalen, "City of Water Day" celebrations, music, food, the Urban Divers EnviroMedia Mobile, movies, talks, story telling, Brooklyn Greenway walks, and more.
PortSide has only 10 days left until their temporary permit at this location expires, and the way to ensure that PortSide snags a permanent home at the historic Atlantic Basin at the foot of Pioneer Street (as has been assured by the New York City Economic Development Corporation), allowing us all to benefit from the waterfront access that our neighborhood and its residents so crave, is to make sure that this last week or so of activities is as successful as the previous month's activities have been.
You have less than 2 weeks to make it to PortSide programs in Atlantic Basin. We leave on 8/24.
Please come. The sea breezes are cool; so are the programs.
You will be supporting locals who are performing in many of these last programs.
And... a big turnout will help get you future programs on Pier 11.
We are in lease negotiations, and the Powers That Be need to see that the community wants access to this waterfront, that you want H2O Arts, TankerTime, visiting tall ship, and a permanent PortSide here.
Please see our summary of activities below, please come, and please forward this email.
Fri 8/13 - 8:30pm Pioneer St resident Smitty plays wicked steel guitar w/drums + keyboard... on the whining side of Mississippi delta blues.. traces of bluegrass, country, Tejano and Hawaiian... truly hot and really cool. Just $10. cash bar with beer and wine. Buy tickets here or at the door.
We make history by hosting the tall ship Gazela, the oldest wooden square-rigger in the USA still sailing, which has tried to come to NYC for years. Daytime tours at the dock: Thurs, Fri, Sun, Mon (no Sat) $5 donation requested. In the evening, 2 shows of pirate cabaret burlesque aboard (t'aint just about sailing pirates, the pirates of Wall Street make the story line) on the deck of the Gazela with soaring masts overhead. $25 for 8 or 10pm show. Tickets here.
You can make history and be named the sponsor of the Gazela visit by bidding on the eBay auction to be named the sponsor. See http://bit.ly/cCFJhl. No corporate sponsors have been found for Gazela's visit, so please help PortSide cover the costs of rental generator and dock fees for the Gazela by bidding now!
And, below, there's some more info from the Metropolitan Waterfront Alliance about the visit of the "Gazela", the on-line auction PortSide is holding for sponsors, and the activities that this event will bring to Red Hook - including tours and "pirate burlesqe".
..... and while you're at it, if you want more of this sort of stuff on Brooklyn's Red Hook waterfront, make sure you submit your comments regarding what you would like to see on our waterfront to the NYC Dept. of Planning's "Vision 2020 : NYC Comprehensive Waterfront Plan" web site. The comment period is almost over, closing on August 15th, so make sure your voice is heard in this process that hopes to shape the use of our waterfront for decades to come.
Online comment form can be found HERE.
For the first time in a decade Philadelphia's flagship, the barkentine Gazela, will be visiting New York City.
Presented by PortSide New York at Pier 11 in Atlantic Basin, Red Hook, from August 19 through 23, Gazela is the oldest, wooden squarerigger in the USA still sailing. She was built in Portugal in 1883 as a fishing vessel.
During the day, Gazela offers ship tours. Visitors will learn about the vessel's history fishing for cod in the Grand Banks off Newfoundland. Evenings will bring pirate burlesque aboard the barkentine.
Why has it been so long since the white sails of the Gazela have been seen in New York Harbor? In part, the answer lies in lack of docking infrastructure. Eric Lorgus, president of the Gazela, said, "Tall ships have found it increasingly hard to visit this place. and I've been trying to crack NYC for years. We really appreciate the efforts PortSide has made on our behalf."
To cover the costs of the ship's visit, PortSide New York has taken the unusual step of instituting an online auction for sponsors. Click here for the auction.
"PortSide was founded to bring the BlueSpace, or the water part of the waterfront, to life in New York City," said Carolina Salguero, director of PortSide NewYork. "We are excited that the Gazela is coming, because tall ships are education and inspiration afloat. We hope her visit opens the door to more visits by more boats-of all types -- at this pier and other piers. We are encouraged by recent government initiatives focusing on the water itself and grateful that the EDC [New York City Economic Development Corp] has made Pier 11 available to us for Gazela's visit."

Iran oil exports set to increase: Institute
Iran is poised to see its oil exports rise by 200,000 barrels per day (b/d) by the end of summer if sanctions are lifted in July, an international energy consulting group says.
Facts Global Energy also forecast another 300,000 b/d increase in Iran's oil exports by thoe end of the year.
Fereidoun Fesharaki, chairman of the body, told a Middle East energy conference that a further boost of 700,000 b/d is expected by June next year.
He told the 23rd annual Middle East Petroleum and Gas conference that condensate exports would rise by 200,000 b/d.
Fesharaki said the sanctions relief would also allow Iran to envisage building gas pipelines to Oman, Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates (UAE).
A senior Iranian official said on Monday that Tehran has already started talks with Asian and European refineries in a bid to increase its market share.
"Iran is prepared for returning oil exports to the levels before sanctions once they are fully removed," Mohsen Qamsari, director for international affairs of National Iranian Oil Company (NIOC), said.
The Iranian official reiterated that NIOC has special plans for boosting oil exports after the US-engineered sanctions against Iran are lifted as part of a possible final nuclear deal between Tehran and the P 5+1 group of countries.
Iran's current oil production is estimated to be around 2.7 mb/d of which about 1 million barrels are exported – as required by the current regime of sanctions.
Its major oil customers are China, India, Japan, South Korea and Turkey but the US and European sanctions are preventing international banks from transferring money to the Islamic Republic.
Iran holds the world's fourth-largest proven crude oil reserves and the second-largest natural gas reserves.
Iran's total in-place oil reserves have been estimated at more than 560 billion barrels, with about 140 billion barrels of recoverable oil. Heavy and extra-heavy varieties of crude oil account for roughly 70-100 billion barrels of the total reserves.

Boston Red Sox to sign reliever Matt Strahm to one-year contract pending physical

Christopher Smith | csmith@masslive.com
The Boston Red Sox are in agreement to sign reliever Matt Strahm to a one-year contract, pending a physical, a source confirmed.
Fansided's Robert Murray was the first to report the signing.
MLB Network's Jon Heyman reported the deal is worth $3 million.
Strahm, a 30-year-old lefty, appeared in just 6 ⅔ innings for the Padres in 2021. He spent time on the IL because of a right patellar tendon repair and right knee inflammation.
He has a career 3.81 ERA, 4.09 FIP and 1.20 WHIP in 157 major league outings (25 starts).
He pitched for the Royals in 2016 and '17, then the Padres from 2018-21.
His best season came in 2018 for San Diego when he posted a 2.05 ERA in 61 ⅓ innings (41 outings, five starts). He had a .178 batting average against.

Andhra HC Directs Govt. to Strengthen Chandra Babu Naidu's Security | TDP Chandra Babu News Andhra HC Directs Govt. to Strengthen Chandra Babu Naidu's Security: The court asked the government to add jammer vehicle in the Leader of Opposition's convoy.
Andhra HC Directs Govt. to Strengthen Chandra Babu Naidu's Security
(Image source from: Mirchi9.com)
Andhra HC Directs Govt. to Strengthen Chandra Babu Naidu's Security:- The Andhra Pradesh High Court on Wednesday sends orders to the state government to put back the security of former Chief Minister N. Chandrababu Naidu with 97 police personnel.
Following the petition by Naidu that the new AP government reduced the number of his security personnel to 74 after he lost power in recent elections, a division bench of the high court bench headed by Justice Durga Prasada Rao announced the orders.
The court, which had set-aside its orders on August 2, called on the government to include jammer vehicle in the Leader of the Opposition's convoy. However, it had left the choice of Chief Security Officer (CSO) to the government. That being so, Naidu wants the government to name police officer of his choice as CSO.
It is also directed that a decision should be taken in a period of three months on the differences between the National Security Guards (NSG) and the police force over who should take charge of the inner security cover.
The new government of YSRCP had scaled down Naidu's security in July. The Telugu Desam Party (TDP) chief had challenged the move on the basis that he still faces threat to his life from Maoists.
In Tirupati in 2003, Naidu had escaped assassination attempt by Maoists when he was the Chief Minister of undivided Andhra Pradesh.
However, Advocate General S. Sriram had told the court that the government did not cut down 'Z plus' security to Naidu and submitted the details related to it. The court was informed that Naidu was being provided security with 74 personnel, though he as the Leader of Opposition is eligible only for 58.

Aaron Schock still gets taxpayer-funded pension
by Carrie Levine March 17, 2015 January 28, 2022
Rep. Aaron Schock appeared on the June 2011 cover of Men's Health magazine.
Men's Health magazine
Rep. Aaron Schock, who announced his resignation today under suspicion of misusing public money, will be eligible for more of it in retirement.
Schock, a Republican from Illinois, could eventually collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded retirement benefits, depending on how long he lives.
Starting at age 62, he will be eligible for just under $18,500 annually, according to estimates by the National Taxpayers Union, a conservative nonprofit organization.
Douglas Kellogg, a spokesman for the National Taxpayers Union, added that members of Congress are also eligible for a 401(k)-style plan, but it's unknown whether Schock has chosen to participate in it.
According to a June report from the Congressional Research Service, members of Congress who have completed at least five years of service are eligible for taxpayer-funded pensions beginning at age 62.
The amount of a former congressional member's pension varies, but the payout is based on the number of years of service and an average of the member's three highest years of salary.
Being a former member of Congress carries other perks, too, including access to the House floor.
Schock, known as perhaps the nation's fittest congressman and who once posed shirtless for Men's Health, will also still be allowed to use the House gym — he'll just have to pay a fee.
In recent weeks, Schock has been hit with repeated questions about his spending.
He repaid the government $40,000, money he spent redecorating his office along a theme inspired by "Downton Abbey," a PBS historical drama, and fielded inquiries about his charter plane use, luxury overseas travel, personal photographer and concert tickets.
Today, Politico reported Schock has been reimbursed for more in mileage than his car had been driven.
"The constant questions over the last six weeks have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself," Schock said in a statement today.

Aaron Schock still gets taxpayer-funded pension

Rep. Aaron Schock appeared on the June 2011 cover of Men's Health magazine.

Rep. Aaron Schock, who announced his resignation today under suspicion of misusing public money, will be eligible for more of it in retirement.

Schock, a Republican from Illinois, could eventually collect hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded retirement benefits, depending on how long he lives.

Starting at age 62, he will be eligible for just under $18,500 annually, according to estimates by the National Taxpayers Union, a conservative nonprofit organization.

Douglas Kellogg, a spokesman for the National Taxpayers Union, added that members of Congress are also eligible for a 401(k)-style plan, but it's unknown whether Schock has chosen to participate in it.

According to a June report from the Congressional Research Service, members of Congress who have completed at least five years of service are eligible for taxpayer-funded pensions beginning at age 62.

The amount of a former congressional member's pension varies, but the payout is based on the number of years of service and an average of the member's three highest years of salary.

Being a former member of Congress carries other perks, too, including access to the House floor.

Schock, known as perhaps the nation's fittest congressman and who once posed shirtless for Men's Health, will also still be allowed to use the House gym — he'll just have to pay a fee.

In recent weeks, Schock has been hit with repeated questions about his spending.

He repaid the government $40,000, money he spent redecorating his office along a theme inspired by "Downton Abbey," a PBS historical drama, and fielded inquiries about his charter plane use, luxury overseas travel, personal photographer and concert tickets.

Today, Politico reported Schock has been reimbursed for more in mileage than his car had been driven.

"The constant questions over the last six weeks have proven a great distraction that has made it too difficult for me to serve the people of the 18th District with the high standards that they deserve and which I have set for myself," Schock said in a statement today.

An email to Schock's spokesman wasn't immediately returned.

I made a pack of these cards for my kids' piano teacher as "thank you" for teaching them. I used the Flower Garden Embossing folder, can found in the Summer Mini catalogue, for the main image. For the card base I used the Square Lattice Embossing folder.
I used the Stampin' Dauber to colour in the flowers. The rest of the card is pretty much self explanatory. Very simple card. Hope she likes it and make use of them.
Very nice! the teacher must be so happy to get them.
