What Do Rural Voters Want? Democrats Just Aren't Listening
Gigi Georges
7:00 PM IST, 17 Dec 2021 10:39 PM IST, 17 Dec 2021 7:00 PM IST, 17 Dec 2021 10:39 PM IST, 17 Dec 2021
(Bloomberg Opinion) -- The big story of 2021's state elections — one that set off head scratching and alarm bells across Democratic Party and media circles — was how Republicans accelerated their upward trajectory among rural voters.
Glenn Youngkin, Virginia's Republican governor-elect, topped 70% of the vote in 45 rural counties. Republican Jack Ciattarelli doubled former President Donald Trump's dominant 2020 margins in New Jersey's four most rural counties to nearly defeat the incumbent Governor Phil Murphy.
There are many reasons for this growing chasm between urban and rural voting patterns. At the center, however, are divergent views on American culture, education, history and basic notions of good governance.
This should prompt a reckoning among Democrats. But as analysts come to terms with the party's narrow electoral paths and growing over-reliance on an urban voting base, they talk about improving "messaging" to rural areas rather than using policy to address class-based and cultural gaps in substantive ways.
Commentary in Politico, the New York Times, the Washington Post and other outlets zeroed in on the Democrats' "branding problem," lack of sustained on-the-ground organizing and insufficient communication with rural voters about the party's agenda.
To be fair, some Democratic leaders pinned their hopes on a one-two policy punch: flooding rural areas with dividends from the $1.2 trillion federal infrastructure plan, and expanding social programs via President Joe Biden's Build Back Better agenda.
But re-crafting mantras that most rural voters feel disconnected from — even berated by — and pumping up government funding miss the larger picture. If the Democratic Party wishes to stanch the loss of heartland voters, it needs to start by listening to what they are really saying, and checking its preconceptions at the door.
At the heart of these misunderstandings is the notion among elites that rural dwellers vote against their own interests. The flaw of this analysis lies in the very definition of "interests." If it means giving up personal autonomy, succumbing to an existence built on government assistance, sublimating one's patriotism and having to live according to someone else's playbook, rural dwellers say, "no thanks." And that's the way many of them view the Democratic agenda.
This is not because they're ignorant or brainwashed or duped by Republicans who "take their votes for granted" (a notion MSNBC's Rachel Maddow promoted in a tweet after the election), or because they're antigovernment radicals. Rather, they recoil from the idea that they are somehow less capable of making moral decisions and determining what makes a "good life" or constitutes a "good society" than those who occupy higher economic, educational and status-bearing stations.
I've been on both sides of the urban-rural divide. A born-and-raised Brooklynite, I spent 20 years in urban Democratic politics before choosing the rural path. For more than a decade, my family has lived in northern Maine and New Hampshire. I've spent five years researching, reporting from and writing a book about one of the most rural parts of the most rural state in the nation: Washington County, Maine. It's the last coastal enclave before Canada, and a world away from my previous life and perspectives.
Here, anecdotally, is what I've learned about the rural Americans I've come to know:
They are skeptical that a new wave of spending delivered through a maze of codified institutions will improve their daily lives. This is particularly true when they feel federal largesse is to be overseen by leaders who show little interest in trying to understand their way of life. (It may be of some comfort to Democrats that national survey data from the One Country Project found strong sentiment among rural voters that neither party considers their "way of life" when discussing policy priorities.)
They feel chastised by media portrayals that don't reflect reality. Just as most urban dwellers aren't rioting in the streets, most rural residents aren't storming the U.S. Capitol. Many are too busy working two or three jobs and taking care of their families. But they also tell me they don't want to be seen as objects of pity or victimization by politicians and the press, and feel their ideas and perspectives need to be treated as worthy of engagement.
They are proud of their self-sufficiency and wear it as a badge of honor. Many take offense to the idea that they must continually look to Washington to better their lives. Many appreciate that government offers a safety net (not to mention farm subsidies), but worry about being ensnared in that net due to long-term dependence. They've seen in some neighbors and family members an inability to break free from Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and other well-intentioned public assistance programs — along with the negative impact they can have on one's pride and sense of purpose. Consequently, they resist the notion that adding more programs is the best response to poverty.
They feel burned by federal regulation and trade policies; resent what they see as mistrust in their ability to self-govern fairly and responsibly; and perceive a tone-deafness to their needs when it comes to where government should step in and where it should not. Maine's lobster fishermen, whose industry is largely family-owned, are reeling over federal efforts to ban fishing in portions of the Gulf of Maine to protect the right whale population. Many argue they haven't encountered right whales in their daily work and fear compliance will result in devastating losses. Meanwhile, Maine wild blueberry farmers have struggled with low prices and crop yields in recent years. While recognizing the significant role weather plays, many farmers have pinned their woes on a glut of blueberry imports and pushed for additional trade protections. And echoing a dominant theme in Virginia's November state elections, many rural Mainers fear government efforts to dictate what they can and cannot teach their kids in school.
They are proud to be Americans despite the tough economic hand dealt to many of them. Young people at high schools routinely choose career paths in the armed services, not because they have no other options but because they believe the nation is worth defending. Many recognize society's flaws but believe improvement comes by building upon, not tearing down, the shared national and historical identity.
Above all, perhaps, the people I've talked to feel they embody resilience and a sense of optimism in the face of significant challenges. The specific issues will vary from county to county and state to state, but that attitude is one you will find across rural America.
I saw rugged fishermen (and women) regularly rush home from a long day at sea to shower and cheer on their girls' basketball teams. I saw neighbors banding together to haul lobsters or rake blueberries to help someone who was injured on the job. I witnessed parents and siblings who have seen opioids take loved ones find sustenance in the support of those around them, and emerge determined to protect others from a similar fate. I heard parent after parent, packed to the rafters at a public meeting in the high school gym, plead for a vocational center to increase local job opportunities for their children.
Perhaps more than anything, I was struck by the devotion of rural young people — particularly girls — to the futures of their hometowns, and by their desire to "stay and build" despite economic challenges and limited job opportunities. These are not simply future "beer moms" (as one Democratic activist stereotyped them); they believe that societal progress can be combined with respect for previous generations.
One protagonist in my book, a young woman on the liberal end of her hometown's political spectrum, had her belief in tolerance shaken when she attended Yale. She decried the political absolutism of the discourse around her. "I reject the idea that all Republicans are evil," she noted. "I grew up in an area with a lot of nice Republicans. They just have different ideas. We need to be able to work with both sides."
As a New York transplant who has been welcomed by the people of Downeast Maine, I know that there is ample room for common understanding across the urban-rural divide. Democrats would do well to try and find it.

The Minneapolis Billiard Club hosted it's 11th annual Fall Classic 3-Cushion Billiards Tournament on September 16-18, 2016. Fred Lamers club owner and tournament organizer repeated his outstanding performance in the 2015 event by once again going undefeated to take the first place prize. Pictured above (from l to r) John Logan (4th), Fred Lamers (1st), Mike Miller (2nd) and David Tucker (3rd).
With two Verhoeven tables, the event must limit the entry and often results in a list of alternates who may be late to inscribe. The ten-man round robin format once again filled very quickly, this time primarily with local players. Consequently most of the bracket was evenly matched which made for some nice drama.
Fred Lamers went undefeated in his 9 games, matching his performance from last year's event and once again taking 1st place in his own billiard club. In fact the first place spot was sewn up early with several games still to play. So the real fight was for the runner-up position. Three players were well knotted up heading into the final matches. When the last game was complete, John Logan, Dave Tucker and Mike Miller (who came in from Superior Wisconsin) all ended with a 6-3 record. In dramatic fashion it was Miller who squeezed out the 2nd place spot beating Tucker by just one billiard. Logan needed a big final game, but fell short to finish 4th overall. James Richards from Milwaukee snatched the $75 hi-run "outta-the-money" prize with a run of 6.
The tournament has proven to be a great event year after year in part because of the unique Warehouse location of the billiard room. Adding to that attraction has been the fact that this small tournament consistently pays out a big prize fund. We could not hold this much-anticipated event without the generous sponsorship of Mickey Campbell, MBC, David Levine and our raffle prizes. Thank you all.
With the popularity of this perennial fall tournament, MBC is hoping to add a 3rd table to the room so that next year's event can accommodate even more players, many from this year's alternate list.
Finally, and most importantly, a big thanks goes out to all our players who keep coming back, and who have made the Fall Classic the event to look forward to for eleven years and counting!

Please welcome Roan Parrish with
Better Than People
It's not long before their pet-centric arrangement sparks a person-centric desire…
Simon Burke has always preferred animals to people. When the countdown to adopting his own dog is unexpectedly put on hold, Simon turns to the PetShare app to find the fluffy TLC he's been missing. Meeting a grumpy children's book illustrator who needs a dog walker isn't easy for the man whose persistent anxiety has colored his whole life, but Jack Matheson's menagerie is just what Simon needs.
Four dogs, three cats and counting. Jack's pack of rescue pets is the only company he needs. But when a bad fall leaves him with a broken leg, Jack is forced to admit he needs help. That the help comes in the form of the most beautiful man he's ever seen is a complicated, glorious surprise.
Being with Jack—talking, walking, making out—is a game changer for Simon. And Simon's company certainly…eases the pain of recovery for Jack. But making a real relationship work once Jack's cast comes off will mean compromise, understanding and lots of love.
A few days later, a storm blew in while Simon was out walking the pack. It started as a shower that sent Mayonnaise and Pickles scampering inside, but within twenty minutes was a gusting squall that darkened the sky and drove rain sideways against the windows.
Jack paced. Well. Jack swung himself back and forth in front of the living room window on his crutches until he had to stop because it was too tiring. It hadn't had the same effect, anyway.
After another ten minutes, he lowered himself to the floor gingerly and built up a fire, wanting the animals to be able to warm up when they got home.
Yeah, the animals. It's definitely them that you want to warm up.
After another ten, he brought armloads of towels from the bathroom to the couch so he could dry the pack off when they got home.
After another ten, he was able to admit he was worried. Puddles hated the rain. Rat was so small, and…and… He huffed out a breath.
Simon. He was worried about Simon.
Simon felt like part of the pack.
As if conjured by the thought, Simon burst through the door, a sodden, dripping mess. Pirate, seeming unperturbed, made a beeline for the fire and began to clean herself, and Rat followed, shaking off her skinny legs as she went; Dandelion ran right to the kitchen in hopes of a snack.
If Jack had been in fighting form, he would've had the towels on Bernard faster, but as it was, just as he turned to grab them, the huge dog shook himself, and Jack watched as if in slow motion as Simon got sprayed with another round of rain.
"Oh Jesus," Jack said, as Simon slumped resignedly, but he couldn't help but chuckle at the picture it made. Bernard, satisfied he'd wrung himself out, flopped in front of the fire to toast, which left only Puddles and Simon, leaning against each other, soaked and miserable.
"Aw, buddy," Jack said. He was talking to Puddles, whom he approached with the towels he hadn't been quick enough with for Bernard, but he included Simon in his sentiment, if only to himself.
He rubbed Puddles as dry as he could and then the dog slunk off to the bedroom, no doubt to soak a dog-shaped damp spot into his blanket and sheets. Making a mental note to change them later—fine, to ask Charlie to change them—Jack turned to Simon.
"Simon," he said, and the man's eyes met his. "Come inside, man, let me get you some dry clothes."
Simon eyed his soaked boots, jeans, and sweater currently dripping onto the doormat. Jack wanted to tell him he'd already have to clean everything to get rid of the wet dog smell so a little more rain wasn't a big deal. But for some reason, instead, he picked up the remaining towel from the couch and swung over to stand in front of Simon.
"Here," he said, and he wrapped the towel around Simon's shoulders and drew him close enough to rub his arms through it.
He heard Simon's intake of breath and had the brief wild wonder if Simon's mouth would taste of rain if he kissed him.
Then Simon let the breath out and leaned ever so slightly into Jack.
"Get your boots off and you can take a hot shower, okay? I'll get you some clothes."
Simon blinked up at him.
Simon nodded and gave a ghost of a smile.
Since the first time they'd really talked the week before, they'd lingered over pickups and drop-offs, sometimes talking; sometimes Jack talking and Simon texting. Jack still couldn't tell what made the difference in the times when Simon could speak and when he couldn't. He appreciated the gift of Simon's words when he managed them. But Simon via text was smart and honest and a little bit snarky, and he liked that too.
Now, standing so close, he felt like he should be able to tell whether words were forthcoming or not, as if the fanfare that announced their appearance would stir the very air between them.
But, no. He still couldn't tell. What he could tell was that Simon was shaking with cold and his wool sweater was so sodden that it might as well have been dumping water down his back.
"C'mere, let me take this," Jack said, tugging at the sweater. Simon's eyelashes, spiked with rain, fluttered and he lifted his arms to help take the sweater off. It was plastered to his shirt beneath, so when the sweater came off so did it.
Jack couldn't help but notice that Simon was lovely beneath his clothes. Angular and smoothly put together, though he was shivering. Jack dropped the sweater to the floor with a thlump and slung the towel back around Simon's shoulders.
"Come on," he said softly, and led the way to the bathroom.
He left Simon to his shower and fetched sweats for him to wear from his bedroom, where he did, indeed, find a sheepish Puddles on the bed.
He stroked Puddles' damp nose and Puddles licked his hand. Worried Puddles might be chilly, Jack slung the blanket over him and gave him a rub.
"You like Simon?" he whispered. Puddles yipped. "Yeah. Yeah, me too."

Irish film duo launch app to Rangle up professionals
Posted on August 30, 2017 August 30, 2017 Author Luke DunnePosted in UncategorizedLeave a Reply
Irish film duo AnneMarie Naughton and Andrew Burke have launched Rangle, a unique new digital platform that works to connect highly-skilled crew with production companies in real time.
Over the last 18 months (2016 until present), the Irish film industry is worth €193 million to the Irish economy (this is based on eligible expenditure over this period.) As of 2016, the film industry employed 6,700 Irish residents as cast or crew on film. *
"Rangle is now the most efficient, cost effective way of identifying the best available crew for your production in the shortest period of time, It's that simple" says Naughton, founder and CEO of film production company Park Films.
Producer Naughton and co-founder Burke, graduate of IADT & New York Film Academy, bring the perfect balance of industry experience, along with a fresh-eyed approach to streamlining industry practice, and bringing it in line with efficient technologies.
The concept for Rangle came out of their individual frustrating experiences of accessing great crew for a project, particularly during busy periods of the year. "The team you assemble has such a huge impact on the quality of the project," says Naughton. "We've been on the frontline for many productions so we have first hand knowledge of the challenges and stresses associated with crewing up. Connecting the right people with your project dates so you can go into production can be a very stressful and lengthy, time-consuming process."
"There is currently no single reliable source where all skilled crew are listed for each of the different sectors we cover: Feature Film, TV Drama, Animation, Commercials, TV and TV Doc and Post Production including VFX," adds Burke.
Not content to simply identify the problem, the duo knew there had to be an easier way than old school rolodexing and playing phone tag for days on end. They built the solution – the Rangle website and sister app.
"The App is always free for crew to download. Companies will use the Rangle website, create a production with details, and push a notification out to the relevant roles. All Crew on the App can respond with their availability, It's a win-win for all and it's so simple to use!," says Naughton. "Much of Ireland's content comes through co-productions and there is huge potential for this to scale to other territories as it is an identified problem throughout the Industry."
Crewing up has never been easier or faster and as Rangle was created by industry professionals the creators have an inside view as to what would works best. " We knew it would have to be as easy as WhatsApp for crew, and we have big plans for what the platform can do going forward. The priority for now is alerting professional crew to sign up."
The duo are delighted to already have a number of high profile productions lined up to (w)Rangle their crew through the new system. Having just released a few days ago they already have about 20% of professional skilled crew with numbers climbing.
With over 37 productions across film, TV, animation and documenraties shooting or planned in 2017 Rangle has teamed up with Scannain to provide a rolling list of what's in or going into production. As the Industry is thriving so well at the moment they are developing a suitable section for New Talent, aimed at encouraging new blood into the Industry.
For more information or to sign up go to www.rangle.ie
Listen to how the platform works, voiced by keen Rangle supporter Morgan O'Sullivan (Vikings. The Tudors, Penny Dreadful)
Rangle is supported by Irish Film Board & CreativeMedia
So far, the response from industry professionals has been very positive:
Liz Gill, Producer of Vikings
The industry has waited long enough for an app like Rangle – brilliant for crew, who can be sure they're being considered for everything they're available for, for free – and brilliant for PM's and producers who will no longer have to trawl through their lists to find out who's available. I can imagine Heads of Department will also love it to find assistants, trainees, etc. It's a brilliant tool for our business that will maximise everyone's most precious resource – time.
What especially excites me about this is the potential international crossover – our industry tends to find a brand and stick to it (Movie Magic, Final Draft, etc.), so Rangle could become the next household name for industry freelancers, which is a global market…"
Aoife O'Sullivan & Tristan Orpen Lynch, Subotica Films (Miss Julie, All is By My Side, Song for a Raggy Boy)
We're delighted Rangle has arrived, we're very much looking forward to using it, a better method of accessing great crew is something this industry badly needs.
Gary Shortall, CEO Egg Post Production
A brilliant idea, long overdue
Carrie Nathan, Independent Pictures
'It's so exciting to see the industry take this long overdue step in updating our methods. It's surprising that we haven't already employed this kind of technology but I'm really interested to see what Rangle can do and where it can take us in terms of productivity.

Brokeback Mountain, the movie, must be seen as an example of cinematic art, not a pro-gay (or anti-gay) polemic.
"Brokeback Mountain" is a spare story, economically written. It made me feel that the film story might be rather gloomy – as it was in parts – and I don't like gloomy movies. I was reluctant to see it. But I was completely convinced by its skill, beauty and economy as cinema, even while I felt dismay and frustration at the content of the story. The flat, dry, physical and spiritual emptiness of the plains towns and ranches where Jack and Ennis live with their families contrasts with the greenness and beauty of the mountainscape where they find each other's love.
One needs to separate the film's achievement as a work of fine film making from opinions of the morality or otherwise of the film's characters. Brokeback Mountain superbly portrays two men who are romantically and erotically attracted to each other (without once mentioning 'love') and their struggle to understand. But the film does not celebrate their adultery, unfaithfulness and lies. Rather, it shows the harm done and the social and emotional pressures that brought them to do these things in social circumstances oppressive of gay men.
I like Anthony Lane's review in the New Yorker (12 Dec 05).
The Advocate runs an interesting Associated Press interview with Annie Proulx about the short story and the film.

'The Eight Hundred' Controversial War Film Finally Given China Release Date

Delayed by over a year for mysterious political reasons, epic Chinese war film "The Eight Hundred" has finally locked down a date for release in theaters.
It will open in conventional and Imax cinemas in China from Aug. 21, making it one of the first outings for a high-profile local film since Chinese cinemas hesitantly returned to operation in late July.
The $80 million film was produced by Huayi Brothers and is directed by Guan Hu (Mister Six"). Its story centers on the sacrifices made a ragtag group of Chinese soldiers in 1937 Shanghai as imperial Japanese troops advanced. Their operations were once praised by Mao Zedong himself as a "classic example of national revolution." The theme would have appeared to have been in keeping with the patriotic message that the Beijing government wants to promulgate last year to mark the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic.
It was selected to play in the prestigious opening slot of the Shanghai International Film Festival, China's only A-list festival, in June last year. But disaster struck when, with barely 24 hours to curtain up, the screening was canceled. The film's commercial release on July 5 was called off shortly after.
Despite having been approved by censors in the normal fashion, and given clearance to play a state-backed festival, the film appeared to have fallen foul of other, previously unknown, political considerations. The incident revealed a new dimension to the censorship and approvals system.

A group of Communist Party scholars and experts, calling themselves the China Red Culture Research Association were shown an advanced copy of the movie and subsequently lobbied against it.
Association members said the film mis-stepped in its portrayal of the rival Kuomintang Party, which ruled China until it lost the civil war against the Communists in 1949 and fled to Taiwan. The two parties continue to dispute their respective roles in fighting the Japanese.
The association's secretary general, Wang Benzhou, criticized the film by saying: "The class oppression within the ranks of the Kuomintang army, the misdeeds of its officers and its evil oppression of the people have disappeared without a trace, making it seem that the Kuomintang army was the real people's army."
While there is no hard evidence that the association's opinions were the cause of the film's canceled premiere, the group's stance likely echoes that of the Party's Propaganda Bureau, which since mid-2018 took over as China's top film censorship authority, dictating what can be shown when.
Numerous other films had abrupt reversals of fortune last year, as the Chinese film industry came to terms with its new master. Zhang Yimou's Cultural Revolution drama "One Second" was abruptly pulled from its Berlin festival slot in February 2019, while youth drama "Better Days" was similarly ejected from Berlin, but later on went on to have a stellar theatrical career.
It appears that portrayals of Communist Party history are more sensitive than more contemporary topics, such as drug use and disaffection. "Even things that seem relatively innocuous, or even beneficial, are going to get closer scrutiny, with the attitude being, 'If there are any chances at all that it could backfire, let's postpone it until a different time'," Beijing-based historian Jeremiah Jenne told Variety last year.
Although China's political calendar is peppered with potential hot spots, last year was seen as especially sensitive as it was the 70th anniversary of Communist rule in the country. This year contains other important dates, but the coronavirus outbreak, its economic devastation, and the growing Cold War with the U.S. have changed the agenda.
The film industry has been harder hit by the COVID-19 fallout than most other business sectors and is desperate for help. Cinemas were closed from Jan. 23 until July 20, and some are still only now reopening their doors. To date most films released in Chinese theaters have been re-releases and a mix of small-scale local and international titles.
" 'The Eight Hundred' is the first Chinese-language tentpole to help the film market recover," said a source close to Huayi.

I've always found great pleasure in the smallest things–a pretty leaf, a perfectly prepared cup of coffee, fifteen extra minutes of sleep, a really good song (Led Zeppelin, please) on the radio, an unplanned dinner date, the scent of my favorite candle, an hour on the couch with a really good book. But now that free time is a harder thing to come by, a wonderful thing has happened. I love those things even more. Experiencing one of those them now feels like the most delicious reward for hard work, even though this is the most enjoyable work I've ever done. I am so fortunate to be able to stay at home with our little one, and I don't think I have ever been happier. And, true to cliche, I can't imagine being happy at all without being able to kiss his little cheeks 400 times a day.
I have been wanting to write for a week or so and have been thinking of all kinds of topics and titles, but for now I just want to write down a small smattering of the things that are making me happy. Part of the reason for this is that I've mostly been cooking from my own blog for the past few weeks (I know these recipes! And I know where they are!), and it's made me so happy to find so many posts in my archives, most of which I'd entirely forgotten about. Posts from easy times as well as hard ones, ordinary ones and hey-I'm-halfway-across-the-world ones. This is such a special time, and I don't want it to go unrecorded here. So here goes.
-Morning is my favorite time of day. Tiny wakes up, and I feed him or rock him or play with him, depending on what he's in the mood for, and then we FaceTime my mom. Every morning. It is the best. After we get off the phone, he likes to talk to his mobile for a little while, during which time I make coffee and read for a few minutes until he's ready for a change of pace. Most mornings we watch the sun come up, and he smiles and smiles and smiles. It's the best.
-In general funniness, this afternoon I cleaned out my purse, and I found not one, not two, but four (4) little Ziplock bags of almonds in there. And I laughed. I shall never be without protein!
-This morning at church I got to use my Old Church Slavic to decode the text on an Orthodox icon, and it was awesome. First time I have needed that skill in the wild! (Eric reminds me that I have used it at museums before, but it felt extra special in this case).
-I read my way around the house all day. I have several books my bedside, a few in Tiny's room, one on the kitchen table, and two or three on the coffee table. I just pick up a book wherever I am, and I love it.
-Some days we play at home, but I like the days when Tiny and I have an errand to run. I use the bottom of his stroller as a grocery cart, and he likes having new things to look at. (Other things he likes: the light coming in through his shutters, the stained glass windows at church, and his rapidly growing collection of rattles).
-Sometimes naps are timed such that Eric and I can eat dinner together, but if not, we still try to sit at the table and talk through our days. Occasionally I'll realize that there's something I've forgotten to tell him, but this is probably because I am the person who says, "Oh, by the way, there are clean diapers in the freezer. I mean the fridge. I mean the dryer." Third time's the charm!
-On weekends I do meal plans and go to the grocery store(s). I've got the one close to our house so fully memorized that I can be in and out in 15 minutes with a whole week's worth of groceries. This feels like a genuine achievement.
-I am enjoying persimmons so much this year. I don't remember them being a big part of our fall diet i years past, but this year Eric brought some home from the farmer's market, and I fell in love. I kind of like the effort required to eat one (um, maybe not so much work, you just have to peel it with a knife), and I like the long curly peels that cover my plate when I finish one.
-Somebody just figured out peekaboo. Like today. There has been a lot of adorable baby laughter around here. And a lot of grown-up laughter too.
-In true new mom fashion, I just remembered that I have an entire series of posts like this one, called A Handful of Happy Things. They're in the freezer. I mean the fridge. I mean the dryer.
First: thank you all so much for your sweet and thoughtful comments on my last post. Answering comments regularly is still one of the things I'm trying to cram into my days, so I really appreciate your patience! Thank you for reading and sharing your thoughts with me! It's so wonderful to have your support and encouragement. It means so much to me.
Reading about five different books: the new Murakami , my book club book , a book on how kitchens run (ganked from Eric's library pile), this because it's awesome and inspiring, and this mystery on my mom's recommendation. Long live the library!
Watching Top Chef (the last season!) and occasionally a bit of Gilmore Girls, but planning to watch Happy Valley too.
Enjoying taking walks every evening to pick Eric from work.
Appreciating cooler days and breaking out the leggings.
Eating lots of almonds and cottage cheese. Two of my faves.
Lighting a candle when I have some time to read during nap time.
Savoring every cup of coffee like the beautiful gift from heaven it is.
Cooking quinoa and lentils and carrot soup with chickpeas.
Celebrating being able to have a few meals out with Micah's godparents.
Marveling with Eric over every little new thing Micah does.
Laughing and dancing and making funny faces and generally doing anything that might elicit a gummy baby smile. The best.
Loving my days with Micah, who is not only the cutest baby who ever lived, but also the sweetest.
Feeling so happy and at peace.
I have seen a few seasoned bloggers talk about the good old days recently–bloggers who have been at it wayyyy longer than I have. (I've been here for three years, unless you count a very soft opening in late 2009. By very soft opening I mean starting a blog and then not telling anyone but your mom and your boyfriend about it. Yee-ha!) They were talking about the days before photos and giveaways and sponsorships and social media, the days when blogs were like open journals (and I suppose LiveJournal is probably one of the things they grew out of).
It made me think about my blog and why I write. Truthfully, I haven't been here very much since Micah was born, not because I don't have things to say, but because I don't have projects finished or a chance to take photos of things during daylight hours, and thus I feel like I can't post. Case in point: I have been wanting to share the nursery (and I will!), but it's mostly in use during the daytime. Seeing those posts about the good old days reminded me that I can just write without having a project or a trip or even goals to share. I can just write about what my days are like now, or just write to say hi. It reminded me that posts like those are often my favorites on the blogs I read. That was such a good realization. Because I really miss you guys. I'm such a visual person that I still don't want to put up a post without ANY pictures, but I can easily enough pick something pretty from the archives and set it in place.
It's interesting too to think about the (often self-imposed) pressures we place on ourselves as bloggers. I am sure this is much harder for people who need to make an income from their blogs. My blog is not monetized (except for that 41 cents I earned once from Amazon's affiliate program), and I intend to keep it that way. When I feel frustrated about not having time to do the posts that I want to, it's good for me to remember why I started this blog in the first place: for a creative outlet, to keep in touch with far-flung family and friends, and to make real connections with like-minded people. Those are still very much my reasons for being here, and I have been so fulfilled in all three of them.
Things are slightly more complex for me because I am still sifting through what belongs here and what belongs on Micah's blog. It honestly makes blogging a lot more complicated, but I think it's the right thing for me (while fully respecting others' decisions with regard to this issue). Maybe the truth is that I'm still sorting out the distinctions between me as a person and me as a mom. Micah needs me so much right now, and I would not trade that for the world. I know that I only get so many days of smelling his sweet little head while I rock him. I am sure it will be a little while before I get back to the level of personal projects (and writing) that I had before he was born, but that doesn't make this time any less special. It probably makes it more special.
What I think I am trying to say is that I'm still figuring it out–how to make time for writing, what to share and not share, and how the prism of who I am has a new facet since I've become a mom. I would ask you all to bear with me, but it seems presumptuous to think that anyone's life is actually disrupted by my not being here every day. Maybe what I should offer instead is a promise to bear with myself as I figure it all out. A promise not to be afraid to write a post without pictures (okay, maybe just one picture). A promise to respect a post that just says hi. Thank you all so much for being here. It's no exaggeration to say that this wouldn't be any fun without you!
Micah is getting bigger and stronger every day (cue mommy tears of pride and nostalgia), and I hope that this month we can get out and do something together as a family. I am not even sure yet what that would be, but a trip to the park or maybe even an early dinner at a non-crowded restaurant would be great. We'll see if I am brave enough!
When I'm away from my blog, I miss you guys. I miss writing too, but mostly I miss being a part of the great community of friends I have met. So I am hoping to write two blog posts a week this month, either here or on Micah's blog. So far, so good!
I have been really longing to break out my knitting or my cross-stitch or my scrapbooking these days. I've almost finished cleaning off my craft table (no small feat), so I am hoping to take advantage of it soon. Of course, I don't need a craft table for knitting or cross-stitch. Just a cup of tea and a British mystery series to watch.
I have been scrambling to finish my book for book club (huzzah, made it just under the wire), but it's really the first reading I've done since Micah was born. I am excited to read a book that Hillary lent me–a memoir of hiking the Appalachian Trail. I so love books about big adventures like these.
I miss walking (which is, ironically, the theme we're exploring in our book club), and not just because I got a Fitbit and now regularly spend 15 minutes walking in circles around the living room before bed in order to hit my target for the day. Getting outside is so restorative to me, but it has just been too hot to take the baby out during the day. It's supposed to be 100 degrees again this weekend, but I hope that after that, summer will die a graceful death, so I can get back outside. I will gladly accept 80-degree weather! Do you hear me, fall?!
Eric and I were lucky enough to be able to go out to dinner when my parents were here and when his parents were here, but it's been a little while now, with some busy work weeks for Eric, so I am really looking forward to going on a date again. I only have ten or twelve different restaurants I want to try. I blame Top Chef!
Taking tons of pictures is a permanent goal, but it has taken on a new dimension now. I take hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of pictures a month, but they're pretty much all of Micah. That is not at all a bad thing, but I am looking forward to being able to take more pictures of flowers and trees and sunsets like I used to. This goal, like the walking one, is weather-dependent. Come on, fall!
I'll be back in November with an update. July goals have been updated here. And here are my goals from October 2012 and October 2013.
Update, November 2014: Woot, we went so many places this month! The library, church, out to eat several times, and to visit a few friends. Car trips are definitely becoming more of the norm, and they go pretty smoothly as long as we pack well and do our best to avoid overtiring the baby. I think the next step is for me to get comfortable taking him places by myself in the car. Drawbacks: that carseat is heavy, and…I fear incessant screaming! But maybe next month. Until then, thank heaven for the stroller. I can only laugh at the blog post goal. However! I have four drafts in my dashboard, so that has to count for something. I did get a little bit of crafting in! Even a few minutes with my cross-stitch is so nice. I read so many books this month! Maybe five? Maybe this is why I failed to get into a walking routine? I can still blame the weather on that one, though, since this is the summer that will not go quietly into that good night. I did take lots of pictures (and need to steal the ones from Eric's camera too), but alas, we did not go on a date, unless you count laughing together at 4 in the morning at Micah cooing and kicking his legs in his crib. That kind of date has a special kind of charm:) But at least I know we'll be able to get away for a quick dinner in December, when we'll have family in town. Hurray! For the family and the date.
Hi from Seattle! I'm Cameron. I don't blog nearly as often as I used to before I had kids, but I'm giving it the old college try. The definition of "old college try" is "a wild and desperate attempt to make a play." Sounds about right. Let's do it!

Jesus came from Galilee to John at the Jordan
to be baptized by him.
John tried to prevent him, saying,
"I need to be baptized by you,
and yet you are coming to me?"
Jesus said to him in reply,
"Allow it now, for thus it is fitting for us
to fulfill all righteousness."
Then he allowed him.
After Jesus was baptized,
he came up from the water and behold,
the heavens were opened for him,
and he saw the Spirit of God
and coming upon him.
And a voice came from the heavens, saying,
"This is my beloved Son,
with whom I am well pleased."

St. Margaret of Hungary (1242–1271) was the daughter of King Bela IV of Hungary, and niece of the famed St. Elizabeth of Hungary. Her royal parents made a vow to God that if Hungary was saved from the Mongol invasion, they would dedicate Margaret to religion. God heard their prayer and the country was saved. The king and queen then entrusted four-year-old Margaret to be raised and educated in a Dominican convent. At the age of ten Margaret was transferred to the Convent of the Blessed Virgin founded by her parents, built on an island her parents named after her. Margaret spent the rest of her life there, dedicating herself to prayer and severe penances. She opposed her father's attempts to arrange her political marriage with the King of Bohemia, even though her suitor obtained a dispensation from the pope to release her from her religious vows so that she could enter into matrimony. Margaret made her solemn vows as a Dominican nun at the age of eighteen. Although a beautiful princess, she took the most menial tasks in the convent and dedicated her life to serving the poor and sick. She was considered a saint during her life and after her death. Many miracles, especially the curing of illnesses, were attributed to her intercession. She died at the age of 28. Her feast day is January 18.

I find that social media is a great way to market yourself and your brand. I do it for my network marketing work so that I can generate more leads and eventually get more email subscribers for what I do. It is a matter of being creative and following some simple rules.
The first thing I always do is pay attention the quality of the photos I post. Have you noticed that there are many posts that are not so interesting and you are likely to pass them by? Do you want your posts to be that way too? Of course you do not.
That is why you should do like I do and make sure to take a variety of pictures, only choosing the ones that are really crisp and clear with vibrant colors to use as Instagram posts. As it turns out, I found that Instagram followers are most interested in real photography.
That means you should also avoid using the filters that Instagram offers so that you can beef up the photos you have with some special colors. Instead, you want the photos you post to have natural highlights of color. That way, it will look naturally vivid.
Since you are in the mode to attract and you want your posts to bring in more followers, you should try to capture images that strongly evoke some kind of emotion. That is because you want the picture to be worth sharing and you want to get Instagram likes.
As a matter of fact, you can generate more likes by purchasing them and the same is true for getting more Instagram followers. Do what I do and buy them all at times when your posts are running low on popularity.
It is surprising, but I have seen this tactic work time and time again to bring in more natural likes and followers. It is just like people want to follow what is already liked and followed so you give them the image that they are looking for by simply purchasing the likes and the followers a little bit.
Do this sparingly and, when you do it, be sure to spread out the likes and followers you buy over different posts so that it looks natural. I found that the last thing you want to do is overload one of your posts with likes and followers to the point that it looks suspicious.
Ultimately, I have to create good content and so do you. No matter how many likes and followers you choose to buy, it will not do any good if you do not follow through with good posts. After all, you want to be posting what is worth sharing so it spreads and you get more followers.
Look no further than your own abilities to make sure your posts are stunning and vibrant. That is the key to attracting more followers. Also, from time to time, you might find it good to buy followers just to keep the momentum up.

Yes, Dan is smoking crack. ;) You have to make an entire lifestyle change, and if you go too fast you run the risk of just gaining it all back. I've heard it is safest and healthiest to lose 1-2lbs/week.
Oh, only if it was 3-4 months. I'm giving myself an entire year to hit goal... I'm thinking yours might be around the same.

Green Bay Area Exchange Club
Serving Brown County to Promote Citizenship and Prevent Child Abuse

Welcome to the website of the
Green Bay Area Exchange Club!
The Green Bay Area Exchange Club is a fellowship of philanthropic citizens whose mission it is to help prevent child abuse, recognize outstanding youth, encourage patriotism, and assist other worthwhile community projects.
National Mission Statement:
Exchange, America's Service Club, is a group of men and women working together to make our communities better places to live.
Covenant of Service
Accepting that service to others is life's noblest gift, I hereby join with my fellow Exchangites and pledge:
- To dedicate my best energies to nurturing lofty ideals in my social,
religious, and business life;
- To pay back the debt I owe to those who have served and sacrificed
so that the heritage of United States citizenship might be mine;
- To honor and respect the law, to uphold the ideals and institutions of
- To implant the spirit of service in my social and business relationships;
- To respect the Flag and my country and those freedoms and
responsibilities for which it stands;
- To dedicate myself to the prevention of child abuse;
- To recognize the God-given dignity of those economically and physically
less fortunate;
- To serve in unity with everyone seeking better conditions, more tolerant
understandings, and greater opportunities for all.
The Exchange Idea
The Exchange Club was started in Detroit in 1896 to allow business people to meet and "exchange" ideas. Exchange is the second oldest service organization in the United States. It has nothing to do with bartering.
The original purpose and early project was to help establish airports for national defense. As the Club grew and evolved, so did its purpose: the focus now is the prevention of child abuse.
The Exchange Club was the first to admit women voluntarily as equal members and sponsored the first Women¹s Air Derby.
The Club was one of only a handful of service organizations to be recognized by President H.W. Bush in 1989. It has been called America¹s Service Club. There are no authorized foreign Exchange affiliates.
Besides being dedicated to the national purpose of prevention of child abuse, the Club stands for patriotism. Every Club begins its meetings with the Pledge of Allegiance and displays the United States Flag. It was Exchange members who started National Crime Prevention Week.
Exchange is not all work and no play: an integral part of the Club is the social aspect. Club members like to get together to have a good time. None of the funds raised for charitable purposes, however, are ever used for social purposes: members pay their own way for social events!

Herbalife CEO Saw Signs of "Pyramiding" in 2005 – Do Recent Comments & Actions Show No Changes Were Ever Made?
When the credit card bill comes, the spouse says, 'How are we going to pay this? You didn't sell this stuff. It's in the garage. It's in the pantry. What are we going to do?' " Johnson said, noting some of the practices that led to complaints that Herbalife is a pyramid.
It's quite a leap to hear the CEO calling the business opportunity a "lottery ticket" in 2005 and then hearing the President of the company calling it an "unrivaled business opportunity" in 2014 – which is it? Have material changes been made to the marketing and compensation plans, or has the Tirelli Agreement prevented any material changes from taking place since then?
This is interesting for obvious reasons. It appears Johnson was on to the company at some point in 2005. This may have been his "cognitive dissonance" moment. The Post article alludes to the fact that the video is similar to the Gratziani video – with the executive calling for change in how the company was working in 2005 – albeit with Johnson saying so it can keep him out of jail. The company's response will likely be that the video is old and that the changes have since been made. However, it doesn't look like changes were ever made.
In a video of his speech, a copy of which was obtained by The Post, a tanned and fit Johnson, dressed in a black polo shirt and slacks, gave the impassioned plea for change at the company's global management retreat in Laguna Beach, Calif.
For instance, the Post article claims that Johnson called the practice of selling leads the "source of many evils," yet the company continued the practice all the way to 2012-13. It looks like the company may have continued keeping recruiting the focus and "pyramiding" well after this video, as well.
I have to do some digging, but I vaguely remember one of the most recent President's Summits (April 2015) where Johnson spoke. For some reason, the video which I thought was readily available I can't find at first glance. Regardless, after going into the details about his time caught drunk driving as a kid, he talks about a specific time where, upon entering the business, he tried to make changes and do things the way he did at Disney (read: legally?). He then says something to the tune of he was directed either by his mentor or a top distributor about the way things are done at Herbalife – differently. Paraphrasing, he basically attributes the way the business was run then as the successful driver of what it is today.
Could the changes he tried, but failed to implement, potentially have been the ones detailed in this video/report?
If regulators can reconcile the statements Johnson makes in a video in 2005 with a story he told in 2015 about not being able to implement the changes he wanted when he started, it could prove to be one of the most damning pieces of evidence thus far.
Let's see what the market thinks tomorrow and if the company responds. Meanwhile, I'll dig for that video to try and bring clarity to Johnson's statements.

The Chief Medical Officer Summit is the only event in the country that focuses on R&D among biotech. The Conference Forum is delighted to present a truly distinctive and interactive event for CMOs and R&D Leadership.
To bring together CMO and R&D executives to address the unique challenges associated with directing and managing all R&D functions with limited resources, while raising capital and strategizing for appropriate exits.
To create a network of CMOs and R&D Leadership from small to mid-size life science companies to share ideas, solutions and support.
The role of a Chief Medical Officer is one that means many things to many people, and indeed is radically different depending on the type of organization in which a CMO works. For CMOs in early, emerging and even mid-size life science companies, the role can be an isolated one, but with all the responsibility for driving the clinical development and CRO management while meeting the needs of investors and positioning for an appropriate exit. Chief Medical Officers are playing an increasingly larger role in raising funding for their life science companies.

Gas & Oil News
FSU/Russia
British envoy pledges assistance for Nigerian oil sector development
British High Commissioner to Nigeria, Richard Gozney, has pledged the continued assistance of his government towards the development of the oil and gas sector in Akwa Ibom State and Nigeria.
Gozney said in Uyo when he visited Governor Victor Attah to mark the World Tourism Day, that in the next four months, 14 British companies under the auspices of the Northern Offshore Federation would visit the state.
He commended Attah for the effective utilisation of the derivation funds for the initialisation and implementation of people oriented projects in the state. He praised Attah for programmes like the Independent Power Plant, the Ibom Meridien Hotel and Golf Course and investments in information technology.
The diplomat said the state was one of those in the Niger Delta that had used the derivation funds for the benefit of the people. And expressed hope that with a stronger income flow to the state, it would be easier to finance other long term projects until they became self sustaining.
In his remarks, the governor said his administration was a people-oriented one with the interest of the state indigenes in mind, he said what informed the investment of his administration in people oriented projects, was because it would usher in dividends of democracy.
He said his administration had invested N 70 mm in the GSM sector. And called on British companies to show interest in information technology as his government was determined to promote the sector in line with current realities.
Attah commended the diplomat for his special interest in the state and expressed happiness at the coming visit of the 14 British companies for investment purposes.
He said it would open the state to a vista of new opportunities.

The book offers an opportunity to empathize with people in another part of the world.
If You Were Me and Lived in … Cuba: A Child's Introduction to Culture around the World by Carole P. Roman asks children to imagine themselves as living in Cuba. The book explores Cuban culture and offers a wonderful opportunity to explore a new country and way of life.
The book shares details about the history, food, celebrations, and activities of people living on this island in the Caribbean. The descriptions of daily life are familiar and relatable and the content is simple enough to expose young children to new ideas without overwhelming them with too much information. A glossary at the back of the book defines a multitude of words, including many that American children may not be familiar with.
The illustrations match the tone of the text. They are very simple full-color drawings and appear to be something that children might create themselves. The pictures depict people happily going about their daily lives. The figures appear energetic, and their insertion into photographs of Cuba offers a clear glimpse into what life might be like for the Cuban people.
The book offers an opportunity to empathize with people in another part of the world, presenting the information in a unique way.
If You Were Me and Lived in … Cuba will help children become more aware of the world around them and understand the differences and the similarities that exist between different cultures. It is a useful resource for learning about culture.
