Jan Balet's 'Amos and the Moon' conclusion
Amos awakes one night to find the moon has moved into his mirror.
He is delighted at the prospect of playing with the moon the next day, but when he wakes in the morning, the moon is gone. He sets out in the neighbourhood, asking everyone he encounters if they have seen his moon.
Each shopkeeper gives Amos a small gift to assist him in his quest to recover his moon.
In the end, its Joe Ming, the Chinese laundryman, who solves Amos' dilemma.
He gives Amos an old bird-cage and tells him, "You hang this over your mirror. Once in a while, maybe once or twice a month, you will catch the moon, and he will be with you for a little while."
By this time its getting dark. In his travels Amos has collected, besides the bird-cage, a lemon, a piece of bologna, a watch and chain, Harry the Horse, "and a couple of drops of water which was all that remained of the piece of ice."
I love that Balet thought to include the policeman, still watching over Amos even though he has been on duty since early in the day, when Amos made his first stop to visit Pete the Iceman. Why in the world did we choose to trade in our cops walking the beat for uncaring surveillance cameras?
In case you missed this yesterday, there's a quirky element that Balet included in the story that gave me pause: everyone had been kind to Amos except the barber. "The barber," Balet wrote, "was an angry man. "Here you, I don't care what you wonder, " he shouted at Amos. "Don't bring that stuff around here."
What an odd thing to include in a children's story, especially as each shop-keeper is branded with a distinct national identity. I doubt you could do such a thing in a modern children's book for fear of offending one group or another. But I believe Balet included this element, not to suggest Italian barbers are mean-spirited in general, but rather to simply say to children, "this is reality - not everyone you encounter is going to be nice to you."
"That very night," writes Balet, "... the room was filled with a wondrous blue light and Amos remembered what Joe Ming had told him. No one has the moon always - just once in a while."
I like that Balet found a way to strike a balance between the magical wonderment of Amos recapturing the moon, and the idea that such moments are fleeting, and should be cherished. Nothing lasts forever.
Jan B. Balet, died on Saturday, January 31, 2009.
Born in Bremen, Germany on July 20, 1913 he was schooled in Friedichshafen and Munich. He attended schools of arts and crafts in Munich and Berlin and spent several years at the Academy of Fine Arts in Munich. After traveling throughout Europe he left Germany in 1938 in protest to the Hitler regime and immigrated to New York City as a free-lance artist. While living in NYC he was the art director for Mademoiselle and Seventeen. He was also well-known for his illustrations in various magazines, including Vogue, Good Housekeeping, and House and Garden. He did work for Macy's, Saks Fifth Avenue and many other shops. He has written and illustrated many children's books including What Makes an Orchestra, Joanjo, Amos and the Moon, Ned, Ed and the Lion, The Five Rollatinis, Ladismaus, Das Geschenk, Der König und der Besenbinder, Der Zaun, Ein Skizzenbuch, Katzen-Skizzen, Skizzen-Paare, and Paris-Skizzen. He has also illustrated many books including Rumpelstiltskin, Bean Blossom Hill and Papa Pompino. He received many Gold Medals, Awards of Merit and Certificates of Excellence for his children's books and graphic arts exhibits. His ads for Lees Carpets won an Award for Distinctive Merit from the Art Directors Club of New York. While in NY he had a residence and studio in NYC and a summer home in Long Island. He traveled throughout North America in his own plane. In 1965 he moved back to Munich, Germany then La Landell, France. In 1978 he made his home in Estavayer-le-Lac, Switzerland where he continued to paint and produce masterful lithographs which are fancied all around the world. For the past thirty years he has had many successful expositions throughout Europe. He has also been cited in many publications and books including American Artist, Vogue, Schöner Wohnen, Masters of Naïve Art, and Die Naiven der Welt.
Balet's works are in permanent museum collections in Europe, including the Stadt Museum in Munich, the Regierungspräsidium in Tübingen, the Kunsthalle in Bremen and the Langenargen Museum in Bodensee.
Though often described as a "contemporary primitive" or "naïve" artist because of the simple stylized appearance of his work, Balet referred to himself as "a sophisticated primitive." His works exhibit a dry wit and refreshingly candid, satirical view of life. Droll yet charming, enchanting yet dark, Balet's works are the perfect marriage of nostalgic yearning and slightly rueful knowledge. Throughout all his works is the force of human nature which is humorous but insightful. Balet said he drew inspiration from both ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian art. Brought up by his maternal grandparents, Balet evokes the era of these people, the most important figures of his formative years.
In the business and among his peers Jan Balet was known as a cartoonist or a 'decorative' illustrator who worked in a 'humorous' style. American Artist magazine called his work "graphic whimsy." One gentleman wrote: "He was a great person to know, with an honest, salty sense of humor which one sees in his artworks." He was an avid collector of folk art in all its forms from painting to sculpture, metalwork, weaving, pottery and music.
He is survived by his son, Peter Balet and wife, Marie, of Ballston Spa, NY. His grandson, John Balet, and wife, Sandra, granddaughter, Suzanne Haight, and husband, David, and great grandchildren, Benjamin and Elizabeth Balet, Andrew and Julia Haight all of Ballston Spa, NY.
With thanks to Peter and Marie Balet for providing the recent photo of Jan Balet and his obituary. We will not forget him.

My condolences to Mr. Balet's family and friends. Jan Balet will forever be an inspiration for me. Thanks Leif for all these wonderful posts.ReplyDelete

This was a wonderful series, Leif. It's bittersweet to enjoy these images while knowing that we will no more be able to communicate with our friend Mr. Balet. There is so much that he could have taught me, but I will simply have to learn what I can through examining his pictures - and I do look forward to more Jan Balet images here, in the future. :)ReplyDelete
Mr. Balet truly is an inspiration, befitting the title of this blog.
Thanks so much for posting these images and the biographical information about this great illustrator. His work inspires me so much, and I have been able to find very little information about Jan Balet until coming across your terrific blog. Thanks again.ReplyDelete

Just beautiful. I think you're right on the money with the moral of the story, which is even more poignant given the passing of its author. Thank you for posting these pages. You may have already answered this question, but are you aware of any examples of Balet's work that are easily accessible in print?ReplyDelete
Elisa, Harley, Aimee and Zack;ReplyDelete
Thank you all for your wonderful comments. I have forwarded the link to Peter and Marie Balet and I'm sure that hearing how much you enjoy their father's artwork must be comforting to them.
Zack, I'm unaware of any collections of Jan Balet's illustration work. I still have quite a few examples I've been saving -- so expect to see those at some point here on the blog.

Hi guys,
As the old adage states, "Can't live with them, can't live without them."
For the guys that are married now or have been married, I'm wondering what your experience has been and if you could give a newly engaged man (hypothetical to me since I am not engaged) any piece of advise or wisdom, what would it be?
I love my GF, but for a few minutes I'm going to zoom out and look at things from a more technical, statistical, and less emotional point of view.
To be honest, I am a bit discouraged at just how many people I know who don't seem to be too happy in their marriages. It always seems to be the same story. Things started off great. There was excitement, adventure, strong physical and emotional chemistry. Then 2-3yrs into it, those feels started to fade. Some couples moved on to the next phase of their lives and had some glue, er I mean kids which kept things fresh and exciting.
I saw a plot in the newspaper several years back that showed divorce statistics as a function of time. There is a spike early on in the marriage (first couple of years), then one at 7 years (7-year itch), and one at about year 18-20 (when the glue is all grown up). If you make it past that, you are fairly safe (not necessarily happy, but likelihood of divorce is low). Some of that is influenced by the fact that you don't have the same options at 45 or 50 as you do at 25 or 30. Sucks, but that's the truth.
I recall reading a book by psycologist Scott Peck that studied the term "Love." He argues that 100% of relationships fall out of love, usually pretty early on in the first few years. The feeling of love is not true love then. The conscious decision to love someone once you lose the "in love" feeling is what real love is all about.
Regarding statistics, 50% of couples who get married in this country wind up in divorce (To be fair, some of those aren't 1st marriages so that 50% number isn't quite as bad as it seems - The reason is that 2nd marriages have a higher divorce rate than 1st marriages and 3rd marriages have a higher divorce rate than 2nd marriages). Moving on, if 50% of couples get divorced, then 50% of couples don't get divorced. Surely those 50% that remain together aren't all happy marriages? So then let's say that half of the marriages that stay together are happy. That means that 25% of couples getting married in the first place remain happy, lol. I really don't like the odds here!
But anytime you get into this debate, you have to get into the alternative, being alone into older age. As much as I see my folks fight and bicker, I tend to think it's better than the alternative (at least for the level they fight and bicker).
A while back Patrick argued that the average person remains in their purchased home for no more than 6-7 years. He said, you might think you are different, but statistically you are not. Same thing goes for divorce. Nobody goes into marriage thinking they will get a divorce. But statistically, 1 in 2 people do in the USA.
What do you guys think?
As a side note, I am really curious about the following. What is the divorce rate assuming the following:
Both Members are devout Catholic ?
Both Members are devout Christian ?
Both Members are devout Muslim ?
Both Members are Atheist ?
Members don't share religious beliefs ?

Blessed Maria Teresa of Jesus
- Maria Scrilli
An unknown illness kept the young Maria bedridden for two years; she was cured following a vision of Saint Fiorenzo, and soon after she felt a call to the religious life. On 28 May 1846 she entered the monastery of Saint Mary Magdalene de' Pazzi, Florence, Italy, and though she loved the cloistered life, she realized it was not her calling, and left after two months. Carmelite tertiary, taking the name Maria Teresa of Jesus. Back home she began teaching secular and religious topics to local girls, and effectively started a small school for them. While looking for a place to start a formal school, she was asked by a town council to take over a local school; she did and it formed the base for a religious institute. On 15 October 1854 she founded as the Sisters of Our Lady of Mount Carmel, but on 30 November 1859, during a period of anti-clerical sentiment in Italy, her institute was ordered to be dissolved and the school secularized. It took years of work and waiting, but on 18 March 1878 Mother Maria was able to resurrect her community, this time in Florence, Italy where they ran a school, boarding house, and Marian association, and lived a vocation of teaching, parish work, and visiting the sick. Today the Institute has about 250 sisters spread through Italy, Brazil, India, Indonesia, Israel, Poland, Canada, the Philippines, the United States, and the Czech Republic, teaching, catechising, caring for the sick and aged.
- 15 May 1825 in Montevarchi, Arezzo, Italy as Maria Scrilli
- 14 November 1889 in Florence, Italy of natural causes
- 8 October 2006 by Pope Benedict XVI
- recognition celebrated by Cardinal José Saraiva Martins at the Roman Amphitheater, Fiesole, Italy

Ulmo (Quenya, pronounced [ˈulmo]) was a Vala, also known as King of the Sea, Lord of Waters, and Dweller of the Deep.[2] One of the mightiest of the Ainur, he was second in majesty of the Aratar, after Manwë and Varda.
At several points Ulmo was notable for setting himself apart from his brethren, and also for being the friendliest to the Children of Eru.
Ulmo is the Lord of Waters and King of the Sea.[3] He is the Ainu most deeply instructed in music, and it is said that in water the Eldar hear the echo of the Music of the Ainur.[4] He lives in the deeps under Ambar who alone has seen where he devises his music and whence he governs all waters, bays and rivers.[3][1]
From the beginning Manwë has been his closest friend and ally and they come together when the vapors of the water become clouds high in the air, or mists and dew. The two most faithfully served the purpose of Eru.[4]
Ulmo was unique among the Valar in several ways; he was alone, taking no spouse among the Valier; he didn't dwell in Valinor but in Ekkaia from the beginning, preferring the deeps of the seas around and below Ambar, and the rivers. He seldom appeared to the councils of his brethren, save in matters of great importance.[3]
Likewise, he seldomly wore a fana but he came to the shores unseen or entered firths of the sea and rivers and it was said his spirit was in the very veins of the world. He spoke through the sound of water, and made music with his horns the Ulumúri. But whenever he appeared, he was dreadful and terrible "as a mounting wave that strides to the land"; he wore a dark foam-crested helm and a shimmering silver-green mail, and his voice was deep like the ocean.[3]
Ulmo cared about Arda and the Children of Eru, and through the veins of the world he kept in touch with them and saw every grief and need, and thus knew more of the goings on with them than even Manwë. Even while the Valar were secluded in Valinor or when the Children were under the wrath of his brethren, Ulmo, alone of the Valar, was the one who never forsook them.[3][1]
Ulmo was very close in friendship to Manwë before Ea was made, and although Manwë was the most dear to Ilúvatar, of all the Ainur Ulmo was most deeply instructed in music. Ulmo with Manwë and Aulë were the architects of Arda.[5]
He had always distrusted Melkor. The Dark Lord feared him almost as much as he feared Varda, since the sea cannot be tamed.
When the Valar retreated to Valinor, Ulmo remained to the Outer Sea, and while his brethren neglected the Outer Lands during the Sleep of Yavanna, Ulmo kept the earth alive under the darkness.[1]
He seldomly came to the Councils of Máhanaxar, but Ulmo defended the Eldar in the council from the potential wrath of Mandos.
He opposed Oromë's plan to bring the Elves to Aman. But he eventually helped them get to Aman, because he knew that was what they wanted, and he accepted that. He tore a great piece of land off the shores of Beleriand and used it to transport the Eldar to the blessed coasts of Aman. He anchored the island (it was renamed Tol Eressëa) in the Bay of Eldamar, which he did because he knew the minds of the Teleri.
When the time came for Melkor to be given a second chance, Ulmo was disappointed when Manwe pardoned Melkor after serving his time in bondage. Ulmo was ever distrustful of Melkor, an opinion shared by Tulkas and Varda.
Ulmo's vassal Ossë, and Ossë's spouse Uinen were, to the elves, the best known of the Maiar. Through them Ulmo would learn much of the elves.
During the First Age Ulmo protected Sirion and Gelion and directed more than any other Vala the Children of Ilúvatar. He urged Turgon to build Gondolin and Finrod to build Nargothrond.
He chose Tuor as his instrument before his birth, by aiding Huor and Húrin reach Gondolin ad then telling Turgon to accept him, as aid would come from the House of Hador. Years later, he guided Tuor directing him to Gondolin as a messenger for Turgon. Despite his warnings, Turgon chose not to abandon Gondolin. Tuor eventually married Turgon's daughter Idril and fathered Eärendil the Half-elven; Ulmo saved Elwing from the sack of the Havens of Sirion, and thus she took the Silmaril to her husband Eärendil which allowed them to gain admittance to Valinor and plead for their mercy.
The name Ulmo is said to derive from the Valarin Ullubōz.[6]
Alternatively, Ulmo is a Quenya title, which means "He who pours" (cf. ulya- "to pour" and agentive ending -mo "-er").[source?]
In the earlier writings his Noldorin name was Ylmir, among them Tuor's The Horns of Ylmir.[source?] (Another Noldorin translation of his name is given as Nûron.)[7][8] The Sindarin form is Ulu ([ˈulu]), though he is also called Guiar ([ˈɡuɪ.ar]) and Gulma ([ˈɡulma]).[source?]
In Eriol's Old English translations, Ulmo is referred to by various names: Garsecges frea "Ocean ruler", ealwaeter-frea "All-waters ruler" or agendfrea ealra waetera "owning lord of all waters".[9]
Other versions of the Legenarium
His palace, on the bottom of the Outer Sea, was called Ulmonan.[10]

Hi Deronda Thank you for sharing the before and after pics. It is nice that you take the time to edit every picture. It makes it much more personable. What a difference a couple of years makes in a perennial garden. PERENNIALS: The first year they SLEEP. The second year they CREEP. The third year they LEAP!!!! And your gardens are leaping...I look forward to your Spring garden tours.
Thank you Deronda for sharing the before and after pictures. What a difference a few years makes. Your yard looks beautiful. I'm looking forward to spring so I can get mine going. I still have so much to do to my yard. The whole house remodel is just about done now, so I hope to get more done in the yard next year. Thanks again for sharing. You have some good ideas.

I see it as white. But it's been my experience that wicker soaks up alot of paint. Good luck!
Love the shape!

If it were mine and I was going to keep it, lime green with a cushion of hot pinks and lime greens would be my choice. If I were going to sell it, white wicker is ALWAYS good.
Thanks, Diane, for always hosting this fun meme.

Hi Diane, the easy way is cushions and sell it. The thrift stores often have cushions. I like it!
White wicker is nice and you already have the paint. That's if you feel like painting! Smile.
Hugs, Jeanne
Thanks for letting me know you are all ok from those terrible storms. My prayers go out to all who have suffered losses.

I agree with the others ... since you're going to sell it, white would probably be the best choice. If you were going to keep it, a bold, bright color would be nice, especially, like BJ said, with colorful cushions.
Whichever way you go, you should sell it quickly this time of year!

If it were mine I'd paint it black or lime green because I wear a lot of that color and have it all over my Condo. BUT if I were to sell it I'd go with white so it matches most of the wicker people have. How about painting it white and adding a fun color cushion like hot pink or lime green?

- Laura @ the shorehouse. said...
I think I'd go for black (especially since it will be easier to cover the already black fleur de lis that way :-) and add a pop of color with a fun lime/black/white print cushion. The cushion can easily be swapped out, too, if you change your mind on the lime down the road. Whatever you do...post pics!
p.s. Got to the Magazine St Antique Center on Monday! And Sucre, mais oui. :-)

Funny you should say lime green because that's the color I was thinking when you said "paint"! Go for the green!!

I suppose I've been in a Tex-mex mood lately, since I've made two Mexican-inspired recipes in the last two weeks with shredded chicken. It was my turn to make the weekly dinner menu (which is also our lunch for the following day) before going grocery shopping, and both recipes just sort of came to me, with my thought process going something like this...
(Warning...you're about to read my secret recipe-formulating thoughts...)
Hmm, we have a lot of BBQ sauce on hand since I just made another big batch for those ribs the other night. We should have BBQ something this week. Maybe chicken? We have chicken twice a week and it gets so boring sometimes. I really like that BBQ Chicken with Bacon I've made in the crock pot before.
We could make BBQ chicken sandwiches for dinner.
With pickles. We need more spicy pickles, I love those.
Jamie likes tacos, though. I'm a little tired of shrimp, and I don't feel like getting a whole head of cabbage for a little slaw, because then it just goes bad before we use it all. And we always have leftover tortillas.
I wonder how shredded BBQ chicken tacos would taste. With tomatoes and avocados instead of slaw. Caramelized onions are so good on tacos. If I add unsweetened cocoa powder to the sauce, does that make it a mole sauce? Look at me, thinking I know the first thing about Mexican food like what makes a sauce a mole sauce.
That sounds pretty good, though - BBQ sauce with a little cumin and cocoa to make it less BBQ-y and more taco-y. And some green chiles. I don't want it to end up too spicy, so maybe mild chiles and a little spice from cayenne pepper.
Ok, what about dinner tonight? I still have one packet of yeast left - maybe pizza?
Those cinnamon rolls were so good this morning.
Pizza, though, not cinnamon rolls. Pepperoni doesn't sound good right now, though. Too greasy. Do we have anything to make marinara sauce? Two cans of tomato sauce and one can of crushed tomatoes, but no fresh tomatoes. Oh, I forgot about that can of green chile enchilada sauce that I never used. I wonder how that would be on a pizza instead of marinara sauce. With chicken cooked in the enchilada sauce first and then shredded. Tomatoes and red onion. Must have black olives, too, and cheese.
Ok, that would be good, a chicken enchilada pizza. Oh, and then we can bake the leftover tortillas from the tacos to make chips, make some guacamole, and have that with the pizza. The last time I did that, I forgot the tortillas were in the oven and they burned. Better have Jamie do those while I make the pizza.
Too bad we don't have a deep fryer. But then I would want to fry everything, and that wouldn't be good either. Some green chiles would be good in the guacamole, too. I should make that avocado hummus again sometime. Jamie didn't like the hummus part, but it was hummus, after all, not guacamole. I'm making him caramel crumb bars next weekend, though. He'll love those. I wish I could master this whole making homemade caramel thing.
And there you have it - the super secret inner workings of my mind, which is how I come up with so many of the things I make. It's all a little accidental, these silly little rambling thoughts of mine...

· ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper (optional)
· ¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
· 1 can (2.5 ounces) sliced black olives
· 1 Roma tomato, diced
· ¼ red onion, thinly sliced
· 2 tablespoons chopped green chiles, mild or spicy
· 1 ½ cups grated cheese, any type of melting cheese or cheese blend
· 2 tablespoons olive oil
Preheat the oven as high as it will go (550 for ours), and let it preheat for about 20 minutes. If you have a pizza stone, let that preheat in the oven.
Sprinkle a large pizza pan with the cornmeal, then lay the pizza dough on the pan. (You could also build your pizza on a pizza peel to transfer directly to the pizza stone – we don't have a pizza peel so we bake ours on a pan that we set on top of the pizza stone.)
In the meantime, place the chicken pieces in a saucepan and pour the enchilada sauce on top. Cook over medium heat until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Remove the chicken and shred with two forks. Let the sauce cool for a few minutes in the fridge so it's not piping hot when you spread it on the dough.
Spread the enchilada sauce on the pizza dough and add the chicken. Sprinkle with cumin, cayenne pepper and red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you want the pizza). Add the olives, tomato, red onion, green chiles and cheese.
Brush the edge of the dough with the olive oil.
Bake at 550 for 5-6 minutes, until toppings are hot, cheese is melted, and crust is browned and crispy. If your oven doesn't go up this high, you can bake it at around 400 for 10-12 minutes.
Cool on the counter for 5 minutes before slicing.
Yields 8 large slices.

The Miami Dolphins were in the playoffs for the first time in five years as they hosted the Kansas City Chiefs at Joe Robbie Stadium on January 5, 1991. In their 21st season under Head Coach Don Shula, the Dolphins placed second in the AFC East with a 12-4 record, good enough to grab a Wild Card spot. RB Sammie Smith brought a much-needed ground-gaining element to the offense, which had been too dependent on the outstanding passing of QB Dan Marino (pictured above). The defense, which contained an established star in LB John Offerdahl, was also tougher and benefited from the added presence of veteran CB Tim McKyer.
Kansas City, with Head Coach Marty Schottenheimer for the second year, finished second in the AFC West at 11-5 to secure a Wild Card spot and reach the playoffs for only the second time since 1971. 36-year-old journeyman QB Steve DeBerg had an outstanding season and running backs Christian Okoye and Barry Word paced the running attack. The defense, anchored by LB Derrick Thomas, was opportunistic and led the NFL with 60 sacks.
There were 67,276 fans on hand for the late Saturday afternoon Wild Card Playoff game. The Dolphins reached midfield on their first drive but, after Marino was sacked for a loss on third down, Reggie Roby's punt was blocked by CB Charles Washington and the Chiefs gained possession at the Miami 37. Kansas City drove 28 yards in nine plays that resulted in Nick Lowery kicking a 27-yard field goal.
Miami responded by driving 40 yards, with Marino completing a pass to WR Mark Duper for 12 yards to convert a third-and-four situation, but the opening period ended with the series stalled at the KC 40. On the first play of the second quarter, Pete Stoyanovich (pictured at left) kicked a NFL playoff-record 58-yard field goal to tie the score at 3-3.
The Chiefs came out throwing on their next series as QB Steve DeBerg connected with WR Stephone Paige for 33 yards and WR Robb Thomas for another 15 yards to the Miami 37. But after advancing to the 30, a DeBerg pass was intercepted by SS Jarvis Williams to end the threat. The teams traded punts before the Dolphins drove to the Kansas City 39 and Stoyanovich again attempted a long field goal, this time from 57 yards. This one fell short and the Chiefs went 61 yards in four plays. RB Christian Okoye gained 16 yards on the first play of the series and, after a short gain by Okoye, DeBerg threw to Paige, first for 16 yards, and then for a 26-yard touchdown.
The Dolphins again advanced into KC territory but Marino was stripped by DE Neil Smith and CB J.C. Pearson recovered for the Chiefs at his own 38. The score was 10-3 in favor of Kansas City at halftime.
Kansas City's first series of the third quarter ended with a punt, but Bryan Barker's 44-yard kick went out of bounds at the Miami six. Pinned deep in their own territory, the Dolphins had to punt it back, although Roby's 64-yard kick carried to the KC 30. DeBerg threw to WR Emile Harry for 26 yards but, following a sack and incomplete pass, the Chiefs faced a third-and-15 situation. DeBerg threw a screen pass to RB Todd McNair for 13 yards and, on a fourth-and-two play from the Miami 36, Okoye ran for five yards and a first down. Two more pass completions got the ball to the one yard line, but the Chiefs were unable to penetrate the end zone. An intentional grounding call on DeBerg on a second down play moved the ball back ten yards and Kansas City ultimately had to settle for a 25-yard Lowery field goal.
On the first play of the ensuing series, Marino threw to WR Mark Duper for 16 yards, but the receiver fumbled when hit by FS Deron Cherry and LB Dino Hackett recovered at the Miami 29. Three handoffs to Okoye gained eight yards and Lowery kicked a 38-yard field goal to extend Kansas City's lead to 16-3.
Desperately needing to score, the Dolphins converted a fourth down on a two-yard run by Sammie Smith (pictured at right) at the end of the third quarter on their way to going 66 yards in 10 plays. Marino threw to Clayton for 23 yards to reach the KC 11 and three plays later he connected with RB Tony Paige for a TD. With the successful extra point, Miami was down by just six points with over twelve minutes remaining to play.
DeBerg threw to Harry on first down, who broke away from Tim McKyer along the sideline and gained 33 yards. But the drive was stopped at the Miami 41 and the Chiefs punted. Starting from their 15, the Dolphins immediately moved into Chiefs territory when Marino passed to TE Ferrell Edmunds for a 37-yard gain to the KC 48. Miami methodically drove down the field from there, converting three third downs and with Marino capping the 11-play, 85-yard series with a 12-yard touchdown pass to Clayton. Stoyanovich added the all-important extra point to put the Dolphins in front by one.
With 3:28 left on the clock, the Chiefs still had a chance. Two DeBerg passes got the ball to the Kansas City 47 and Okoye then ran for 26 yards to the Miami 26. However, a holding penalty moved the ball back ten yards (and negated a 12-yard carry by Okoye) and the Chiefs were only able to get back to the 34 before having to try for the winning field goal. Lowery's attempt from 52 yards was close but short – breaking a streak of 24 consecutive successes - and the Dolphins survived to win by a score of 17-16.
The Chiefs outgained Miami (367 yards to 311) although the Dolphins had the edge in first downs (23 to 16). Miami also turned the ball over twice, to one by Kansas City.
Dan Marino completed 19 of 30 passes, including ten straight during the fourth quarter comeback, for 221 yards with two touchdowns and none intercepted. Sammie Smith ran for 82 yards on 20 carries. Mark Clayton caught 5 passes for 66 yards and a TD while Tony Paige also caught 5, for 30 yards and a score.
For the Chiefs, Steve DeBerg was successful on 17 of 30 throws for 269 yards and a TD with one intercepted. Stephone Paige had 8 pass receptions for 142 yards and the touchdown. Christian Okoye (pictured below) keyed the running game with 83 yards on 13 attempts.
"We're disappointed as hell, but we're proud," said Marty Schottenheimer. "We're frustrated because we didn't achieve the things we wanted to do, which was win a championship. We're going to hold our heads up and build from here."
Miami advanced to the Divisional playoff round and lost to division-rival Buffalo by a score of 44-34. The Dolphins regressed to 8-8 in 1991 but won the AFC East in '92. The Chiefs made the postseason in each of the next five seasons under Schottenheimer but failed to gain an elusive championship, advancing to the AFC title game just once in that stretch.

There are a few key points in the discussion that shouldn't be surprising to most folks around here, but apparently have just hit the consciousness of ad execs on Madison Avenue:
- The captive audience is dead. There is no captive audience online. Everyone surfing the web has billions of choices on what they can be viewing, and they don't want to be viewing intrusive and annoying ads. They'll either ignore them, block them or go elsewhere.
- Advertising is content. You can't think of ads as separate things any more. Without a captive audience, there's no such thing as "advertising" any more. It's just content. And it needs to be good/interesting/relevant content if you want to get anyone to pay attention to it.
- Content is advertising. Might sound like a repeat of the point above, and in some way it is - but it's highlighting the flip side. Any content is advertising. It's advertising something. Techdirt content "advertises" our business even if you don't realize it. Every bit of content advertises something, whether on purpose or not.
- Content needs to be useful/engaging/interesting. This simply ties all of that together. If you want anyone to pay attention to your content (which is advertising something, whether on purpose or not) it needs to be compelling and engaging.

Here is a running list of common BAC Mono questions and answers. Post your question below and I will add to this list as appropriate.
Q. Does Mono have a warranty?
A. Nope, it is a non-street legal track car in USA.
Q. Does US cat have catalytic convertor?
A. No
Q. What does the "Fire Extinguisher" option consist of?
A. Fire tank is located in chassis and plumbed throughout the car engine (4 nozzles), cockpit (2 nozzles). It is a pain to add later so worth spending the money during build.
Q. How does "Race Spec Damper" differ from standard damper?
A. Race damper are double adjustable. Honestly they have NOT developed the standard damper. I highly recommend the Race Spec so you can fine tune the car for USA's rougher/bumpy tracks.
Q. What is the difference between the three car cover options?
A. One is an Indoor Cover, one is Outdoor (water resistance), one is a Tonneau Cover that only covers the cockpit.
Q. Will Mono stand up to use when ambient temps are 100F?
A. The car has two side pods that hold radiators. There is also a hidden wing in the nose that helps direct air to these rads. Neill Briggs response- "We ran the car last year on the Jeremy Clarkson Powered Up DVD and the only issue we had was with the exhaust tip which has since been upgraded as far as both the resin and carbon is concerned. That was in 42 degrees which is over 100F. Since then, no issues at all throughout testing which included a hard drive in 35 degrees into London and sat in traffic for 3 hours which is a hard test. The car has been battered around Donington Park & Silverstone since without issue.
Worse case actually, is a hard run and then sat idle in traffic say with all the heat soak, etc as it has little air passing into and through the car to help with cooling. Our SPAL fan packs on both radiators work very well as does the additional remote BOSCH water pump to help circulate the water once the car has been turned off. "
Q. Is Remote Battery Charge Socket for a battery maintainer?
A. Yes, this is a handy solution and recommended.
Q. Does the ECU have some sort of data acquisition built in?
A. The data on the car is not as comprehensive as I would like but we will be sorting that out along with a video system.
Q. Mono doesn't have ABS, how easy it is to flat-spot the tires?
A. These tires are hard to flat spot. The brakes have great feel so I think you will get a hang of it quickly.
Q. What about gearing options?
A. Since it is an off the shelf Hewland FTR gearbox, I expect we will be able to change all gears and R&P.
Q. I saw a "TC" button in some pictures, does Mono have Traction Control?
A. Traction Control was a feature that they experimented with early on but cancelled. It was determined that the car was so controllable that adding this feature was not needed with this power level.

Crépe de Oucèra Alti
From a sports climbing point of view, the Crépe de Oucèra is one of the most important crags in the Cortina area and, together with the nearby Cinque Torri, to be considered one of the most important crags in the entire eastern Dolomites.
Located at 1800m, the Crépe de Oucèra offers 70 pitches from 6a to 8a+. these are renowned for their beauty, ease of access and orientation, ensuring the crag's popularity not only in the hot summer months.
The rock is solid with plenty of small weathered pockets and flakes, offering a variety of different climbing styles up the smooth vertical, slightly overhanging and extremely overhanging walls.
Despite the fact that the crag is almost 20 years old, the bolting is excellent and the distance between the bolts varies, according to the difficulty and characteristics of each individual pitch.
A somewhat easier alternative to the Crépe de Oucèra Alta are the Crépe de Oucèra Bassi, located a few hairpin bends lower down. Immersed in the green forest, the Crépe de Oucèra Bassi offer 80 pitches from 5a to 6b.
From Cortina take the highway SS48 westwards towards passo Falzarego and turn off left at the Pocol junction onto the SS638 towards Passo Giau. Continue for about 4km to reach a long straight section and the Alta Via 1 path. Park here and take the rightmost path up to the crag in just 5 minutes

LOCKPORT—Niagara County Legislature Majority Leader Rick Updegrove, R-Lockport, issued the following statement following the release, this afternoon, of Niagara County Manager Jeffrey M. Glatz's proposed 2013 county budget:
"First off, I want to thank County Manager Glatz and Budget Director Dan Huntington for the work they have put into the 2013 county budget. I know these are difficult financial times, and that Mr. Glatz has put serious thought into the budgetary needs of the county moving forward.
"First off, I want to thank County Manager Glatz and Budget Director Dan Huntington for the work they have put into the 2013 county budget. I know these are difficult financial times, and that Mr. Glatz has put serious thought into the budgetary needs of the county moving forward.
"Although the County Manager's budget came in under the tax cap, the members of the Majority Caucus agree that there is still work to be done. We intend to work these next few weeks to lower the tax burden. The proposed 3.7 percent increase in the tax levy must be reduced, and the Legislature's Majority will utilize the budget process to identify potential cuts and adjustments. We will seek input from our department heads and work with them to achieve further reductions during the upcoming budget hearings.
"The proposed budget does a good job to address the goal of reducing the size of government. We have again reduced the size of county government. The budget reduces full-time positions to 1,393. Since 2010, we have reduced the workforce by 97 employees—a 7 percent reduction in the number of people on the county payroll in just three years. Even more significantly, since 2008, we have reduced the size of county government by 13 percent.
"Even though the County Manager's budget came in under the cap, state mandates remain a significant concern. We saw a substantial increase of $1.7 million in the local share of Medicaid costs this year. Medicaid now costs county taxpayers more than $47 million every year, and represents 63 percent of the property tax levy. Also, the local share of pension costs increased another 9.9 percent, rising to $14 million this year.
"Despite those increases in state-mandated costs, the County Manager's budget is a good starting point, and the Majority Caucus will look at both cost reductions and restructuring of budget items to mitigate the burden placed on our taxpayers. Even as we reduce costs, we will maintain vital public services."

Let's just be honest here. Anytime I pulled off that move in Street Fighter II, it was a complete frickin' accident. I had no skill at that game whatsoever. While my buddies were effortlessly rattling off combos like they were going out of style, I mashed buttons. If I pulled off some kind of miracle once in a while, inadvertently nailing a combo, it only prolonged my inevitable defeat by about 1.5 seconds.
To a certain extent, Northrend makes me feel like a button-masher all over again. There are elements of confusion, frustration, and a complete lack of control. When I first hit the Borean Tundra, I was questing to beat the band. I just couldn't wait to ding again. I was probably about 30% of the way to level 71 when it occurred to me that the last time I got repairs was in Stormwind before taking the boat to Northrend. My durability was down to 76%. I even had to ask where to get repairs in Trade Chat. Ya know what? I'm not above rehashing old material to get a laugh, even if it is only from Vonya and Hannelore. It made me feel like a cow-punching noobtard. There! I said it.
By the time Wrath came out, I finally got a handle on all of the BC factions, their rewards, and how to increase reputation with them. Now, I'm back to being clueless. As Predatore cruises across Northrend, I'm constantly tabbing out to see what my reputation gain just went toward. I've spent more time reading WoW Insider than ever before. After reading the Lichborne column Reputation Rewards for Death Knights in Wrath of the Lich King, I decided to start grinding Kalu'ak rep so I'd have a Whalebone Carapace waiting for me at level 76. The item required Honored with The Kalu'ak, so I figured I'd just grind a little bit before moving into Dragonblight. Before researching what quests would make nice with the little tuskarr, I decided to log in to find out where I stood with them. Much to my surprise, I was already Honored. Oh snap!
I also find myself more dependant on Thottbot lately. I've never hidden the fact that I use QuestHelper. As I've acknowledged a number of times, I am, in fact, a noob. But even after reading the quest text and galloping off to QuestHelper's little dummy marker, sometimes I still don't know what's expected of me. Again, I tab out and do a little reading. Like a complete moron, I frequently forget to relocate to a safe place before doing so. I'm usually welcomed by an ass-whuppin' already in progress or a corpse run when I return to gameplay. Doh!
OK. So figure out how to complete the quest. Check. Figure out what the associated reputation does for me. Check. About half the time, there's some type of reward other than gold and XP that comes with the turn-in. But what are these new stats and why have the ones that I've come to love become so… random? Equipping the right combination of items is like hoping for a button-mashed Shoryuken. Well, it was at first. I quickly accepted the fact that Blizzard hates Mages. Why? Stamina + Spirit? You bet. Intellect + Spirit? Of course. But Stamina + Intellect? No way in Hell. Why, Blizz? Why?!? Predatore had slightly better luck with Strength and Stamina-rich plate items dropping like snow in Northrend. That's probably the biggest reason I've chosen to level Predatore over Devv.
Every time I log in, I learn a little bit more about the subtle nuances of Northrend. It's a good feeling to answer questions for fellow players going through the same growing pains that I experienced. But I've got a long way to go before I reach the comfort level I enjoyed in Outlands. When I finally ding 80 and enter my first endgame raid, I won't be surprised if The Archlich Kel'Thuzad busts out a Sonic Boom!

No matter how many times you say it "cow-punching noobtard" is funny.
Cow-punching noobtard = funny
Everybody happy!

No Species Is an Island
For several years now, the U.S. Senate has proclaimed the third Friday in May to be Endangered Species Day. This year, the day has extra significance. The Endangered Species Act (the only thing standing between countless species and extinction) has come under unprecedented attack.
That attack is happening in spite of broad public support for protecting species -- a recent poll found that 84 percent of Americans are in favor of the Endangered Species Act. And we've got good reasons for feeling that way. Of course there's the obvious moral principle that animals and plants shouldn't be consigned to oblivion for no reason other than human carelessness or callousness. But it's more than that. To paraphrase John Donne, "No species is an island." Humans, too, depend on biodiversity and the richness of the web of life. Aldo Leopold, compared the loss of species to "throwing away, one-by-one, the engine parts of an airplane while flying."
What's more, the airplane's facing some serious turbulence. All living things -- including humans -- face new and daunting challenges in a world where the climate has been disrupted. Habitats are shifting and pressures on species are increasing. You can't preserve that web of life without also protecting the places it lives. We might think we're protecting habitat for this or that creature -- but in truth we're doing it for all living things, not least ourselves. That's the basis for the Sierra Club's Resilient Habitats campaign, which is working to protect places where plants, animals, and people can survive and thrive.
So, basically, we need a strong Endangered Species Act now more than ever. Unfortunately, that's not the way things have been headed lately, and the reasons are political.
The Fish and Wildlife Service requested $24.6 million for its endangered species listing program in 2012. In federal budget terms, that's a blip in the balance sheet. The FWS knows perfectly well that it's not enough money to do even the work that's required by law -- a huge backlog of species are waiting to be evaluated for protection -- but no one's willing to ask for enough to really get the job done. "Not politically feasible."
Even more troubling was this year's injection of politics directly into the Endangered Species Act when Congress approved a budget that, at the last minute, removed gray wolves in the Northern Rockies from the Endangered Species List in every state except Wyoming. Never before have politicians interfered to decide the fate of a particular species -- giving a thumbs-down like a Roman emperor at the Coliseum.
The Endangered Species Act works because it relies on sound, science-based management -- free from political interference. That's common sense, which is why 92 percent of Americans polled agree that decisions about wildlife management should be made by scientists, not politicians. That politics intruded anyway is tragic for the wolves and a serious blow to the integrity of one of our bedrock environmental laws.
Enough doom and gloom, though. For today, let's take a moment to celebrate the Endangered Species Act for its many successes during the past four decades. Here's to the bald eagle, whooping cranes, gray whales, grizzly bears, and other species that have made gains or even recovered. My wish for Endangered Species Day is that the thousands of species that are still waiting for protection will have similar success before it's too late.
And for the rest of the year: Let's work to ensure that the Endangered Species Act itself survives as well.

DOJ Argues That Even If Case Against Megaupload Is Dismissed, It Still Can Hold Its Assets
from the well-of-course deptAs the fight over whether or not the US can even charge Megaupload under criminal law continues, the US Justice Department continues to make quite extraordinary claims. If you don't recall, the US filed criminal charges against Megaupload and a bunch of its execs. However, as a US judge noted back in April, under US law it might actually be impossible for the case against Megaupload to proceed, because criminal law requires "serving" the defendant, and the law also says you can only serve companies at their US address. Megaupload is not based in the US and has no US address. The DOJ is trying to tapdance around what the law actually says, but (as Megaupload points out) they can't point to a single real legal citation that supports their position. The DOJ is basically arguing that the law should be what they want it to be... because otherwise the DOJ wouldn't like it very much.
Tim Lee continues his always excellent reporting, by providing some details of the latest court hearings on the matter where the judge definitely seems to recognize that Megaupload may be legally correct:
[Judge O'Grady] noted that the "plain language" of the law required sending notice to the company's address in the United States. "You don't have a location in the United States to mail it to," he said. "It's never had an address" in the United States.Perhaps even more interesting is the claim by the DOJ that even if the Judge rules against them on this issue, they should still be able to freeze Megaupload's assets, because the cases against the individuals will continue.
Not only that, but the government believes it can continue to freeze Megaupload's assets and paralyze its operations even if the judge grants the motion to dismiss. That's because in the government's view, the assets are the proceeds of criminal activity and the prosecution against founder Kim Dotcom will still be pending. The fact that the assets are in the name of Megaupload rather than its founder is of no consequence, the government claimed.That's a trickier argument to make, though, not a totally crazy one. It's more or less based on the same controversial theory under which the Justice Department seizes and forfeits things like hip hop blogs because someone might possibly get some infringing music from them. But here it's even more complex, because there is supposed to be a separation between the corporation as an entity and the execs who work there as entities. It's part of the reason why "limited liability" corporations exist. There are, of course, ways to get past that, but the government would need to make that case, and they may have a hard time doing so. Either way, it does appear that they're legitimately worried about this rather massive error on their part in bringing the case.
Perhaps, next time, the DOJ won't rush into highly questionable lawsuits just because the MPAA is upset about a website.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Four members of the Tennessee State football team's defensive unit were named honorable mentions by the College Football Performance Awards (CFPA) following the squad's, 29-15, victory at UT Martin last week.
Anthony Bass was nominated for Defensive Lineman of the Week, Nick Thrasher for linebacker and Daniel Fitzpatrick and De'Ante Saunders represented the secondary.
Against UT Martin, Bass tallied a pair of stops including one tackle for loss. The junior also recorded a pass break-up, quarterback hurry and blocked a field goal. Bass is the OVC leader in sacks with six.
Thrasher tied for the team-lead in tackles with 10 against the Skyhawks, 2.5 of which were behind the line of scrimmage. The junior also forced and recovered a fumble in the big road victory. Thrasher leads all Tigers this year with 58 stops.
Fitzpatrick recorded nine tackles and the Ft. Wayne, Ind. native returned an interception 20 yards for a touchdown, giving TSU a, 21-0, lead. The interception was Fitzpatrick's fifth of the season and his second pick six of the year.
Saunders had five wrap-ups at Martin including one tackle for loss. The junior also returned the field goal that Bass blocked for a Tiger touchdown. Saunders is third on the team in pass break-ups with four.
The Tigers (7-1, 4-0 OVC) only allowed 4.1 yards per play, recorded 12 tackles for loss (five sacks), tallied two takeaways and forced 19 Skyhawk penalties last game.
The Tigers will need to continue to get solid production from its defensive unit this week when the team hosts Eastern Illinois's No. 1 ranked offense at 4 p.m. at LP Field.

Captain Phil Harris to be seen in next 'Deadliest Catch' season
Though it's still unclear how "Deadliest Catch" will handle the recent death of Phil Harris, the fan-favorite captain will be seen again on TV when the series launches its new season in April.
"Of course, he was fishing all the way up to the end -- he was such a special guy," said Phil Segal, president of the production company that produces the Bering Sea crab fishing series for Discovery Channel. He said he's not sure yet how the story of Harris' injury will unfold or if it will be included after editing.
"We're so concerned about the family and the crew right now that we haven't stopped to think about how we're going to deal with this," Segal said.
"We'll have to figure it out in the weeks and months ahead."
A crew was filming at the time of Harris' stroke.
On the waterfront a few miles from Harris' Washington home, a makeshift shrine has gone up at the Seattle Fishermen's Memorial. Discovery Channel has assembled a collection of moments featuring the man who first worked on fishing boats when he was 7 and learned to drive his dad's Ford pickup when he was 10.
Motor Trend did a feature on Captain Phil last year while he was sidelined from "Deadliest Catch" by a pulmonary embolism. Harris told the magazine about getting into his first crab fishing gig at the urging of a high school friend who'd used his fishing money to buy a cool car:
On that first trip on the boat, he worked for two months without pay, just to prove himself. 'A guy got hurt on the boat and I took his place and I made $135,000 in a month. "I was 17 years old and when I came home, I bought a house, a Corvette, and two hookers. I was having a good time!"
Said Harris: "I like American and I'm a big Corvette fan, I've had seven of them in my lifetime, I really enjoy these new ones, they're really, really a super car." Check out a photo gallery featuring the captain and his sons Josh and Jake on the waterfront with, of course, that Victory Red 2008 Chevy Corvette Z06.

It's been a relaxing and illustrative weekend...
After a nice breakfast with my mom, and some Christmas shopping, Greg and I went to the Illustration House auction. My favorite lots, the two Mead Schaeffers went for something around $35,000.00 each. It was sad to see them go. The Society bought a great early Bernie Fuchs from McCalls Magazine. We didn't have his earlier editorial work represented in the collection before. There was a Charles Knight comp (although it was the size of a large painting) for one of his murals at the Museum of Natural History, but it did not meet it's reserve price. I was sorta glad, feeling that it really belongs at the museum...although, clearly, if they felt the same it would be there already. It reminded me that the Society doesn't own a Knight dinosaur painting -- a real shame, not to have the man who brought dinosaurs back to life represented. If anyone finds one in the attic.....
Mark Korsak, Greg, and I went up to the New Canaan Library for the opening of a Peter de Seve exhibit. Along the way we decided to detour into New Rochelle to see if we could find the library Rockwell's Land of Enchantment lives in. As luck would have it, we arrived just as the doors were opening. A beautiful painting. The librarians kindly looked the other way when we started climbing on furniture to get a closer look at it. Then we went to see J. C. Leyendecker's house, or at least we think we were at his house. It's a day care now. Then it was off to the Peter's show. He does such great work...such a sharp wit, without ever getting cynical or meanspirited. The exhibit had a cross selection of his New Yorker covers, book covers, and theater posters. We ran into David Johnson and Barbara McClintcock, both wonderful artists, at the opening. And then it was off to dinner and off for home.
All and all....a very nice weekend.

And that Tepper is amazing. does Greg have any more detail shots of that one?
- Irene Gallo said...
We should have the Fuchs in-house fairly soon.
Greg does have some more shoots of the Tepper, and some of the Schaeffer with the steam ship. We'll make you a disk.

An illustrious weekend indeed.
I like a game which you need use flyff penya to play. If you want to be online to play this game, I can borrow flyff moneyto you. When you have flyff gold, and than you can go on this game. Of cause, when you are first to play, you can buy flyff penya. If you have enough cheap penya, you will be able to different games.
Do you know the maple mesos? It is very interesting and if you have enough mesos,you can be strong. So i often go to play the game to get more and more cheap mesos, sometimes i can get the maplestory mesos from my friends who i know in the game. However i like the game very much because of the maple story mesos, i want to play the game more often.

You will be pleased to know that, although I am really looking forward to the new Virago editions of Rumer Godden's books, a little forage around the shelves revealed some more I knew I had but couldn't quite place, so the pile is looking a little more respectable and includes these with very enticing covers, Kingfishers Catch Fire and China Court.
And a much less exciting, dare I even suggest non-descript and decidedly unappetising cover for This Far and No Further, Rumer Godden's description of the wartime winter months spent below the Lama's temple on a tea estate north of Darjeeling..
I still haven't figured out what it is supposed to be... tea infusing into water perhaps, but this is clearly what sold books in 1968 with its hints of psychedelia and lava lamp.
How little I know about Rumer Godden too and, to my surprise, how little is written about her. My shelf of reference books on fiction by women shows glaring omissions, Rumer Godden rarely included in any overview of twentieth century writing by women. A brief mention in The Cambridge Guide to Women's Writing in English suggests that her life in India (where she was taken soon after her birth in 1907) culminated 'in an incident in Kashmir where a servant tried to poison her and her children, forcing her to leave the country.' But her writing career, before her death in 1998, spanned sixty years with over fifty books for adults and children along with twenty volumes of non-fiction and autobiography. That surely sounds like enough to merit inclusion.
But as to The River, published in 1946 ...isn't this just the most delectable book, such a perfect surprise given that I have known of it for years yet there it has sat until this new edition arrived.
Harriet and her brother Bogie and sisters Bea and Victoria live in a 'house beside the river, in a jute-pressing works near a little Indian town.'
'Harriet's river was a great, slowly flowing mile-wide river between banks of mud and white sand, with fields flat to the horizon, jute fields and rice fields under a blue weight of sky.'
Bea is the oldest, on the cusp of adolescence and her changing relationship with her younger sister Harriet was one of the highlights of the books for me. Poor Harriet rooted firmly in the middle (because toddler Victoria doesn't really count after all) and one minute trying to move up to Bea's level the next down to Bogie's and never quite sure where she belongs. Acutely sensitive not only to the world of the child, but the world surrounding that child, Rumer Godden seems completely at ease with it all. I felt
Harriet's dilemmas, and I knew her world. I smelt the flowers in the garden as she did...the hibiscus, the jasmine, the quisqualis (had to look it up, that's it over here <<<<) the passion flowers and plumbago, and I sensed the beauty that her young eyes were drinking in ...
'How beautiful it is,' said Harriet. Its beauty penetrated into the heat and the ache of the hollowness inside her. It had a quiet unhurriedness, a time beat that was infinitely soothing to Harriet, 'You can't stop days or rivers,' not stop them and not hurry them.'
And the house, Harriet's home 'a peculiarly pleasant place' and so well described I could almost have drawn it as Rumer Godden walks the reader through it room by room.
And as the festival of Diwali, with its light and dark and shade, unfolded it occured to me that the writerly equivalent of the artist's chirascuro was entirely possible on the pages of a book, especially in the imaginative hands of a writer like Rumer Godden. It's a word far too useful to leave in the art world surely...
'It was almost spring. In the fields the early sowing was finished and the young jute made dark-green and light-green patches over the land. The yellowness of the mustard had dimmed and the first great red pods of the simul, the wild cotton trees, had opened their colour.... The sky itself had altered. This was the time of its deepest blue; later the heat took its colour, and lter still the monsoon broke and turned it heavy and grey, with intervals that were pale and washed out.'
If I have one qualm it is the old why-oh-why chestnut about the introduction coming at the beginning of the book again. I know it's an Introduction (or in this case a Preface, written by Rumer Godden retrospectively) and that's where it is supposed to be if it is called an Introduction, and whilst it sets the scene for the circumstances in which the book was written very informatively it also indirectly gives away a corker of a spoiler in the second paragraph, and one of which I had no inkling. Perhaps the assumption is that a book and a film are so well known by now that everyone knows the ending so it doesn't really matter...well I didn't and it did.
Once known I couldn't unknow that thing and it changed the whole complexion of the read. The impact of that spoiler when it finally happened was more about fulfilled dread and foreboding anticipated on every page, rather than any sense of shock and surprise. I felt momentarily flat and a bit disappointed if not a little relieved, none of which a book like this should make me feel on a first read... if you haven't read The River perhaps remember that and read the Introduction as an Afterword.
I don't even want to go near the spoiler, but there is much I could elaborate on with reference to it, but I won't. Suffice to say more of Rumer Godden's canny insight into the mind and the reactions of a child, and of the adults towards that child. Say no more.
The book is full of special writerly moments, perhaps this one that touched me more than most..
Every family has something, when it has left home, that is for it a symbol of home, that, for it, for ever afterwards, brings home back.'
It may be a glimpse of something, or a saying, or perhaps a song or a sound, a taste or a scent, a smell but how true that is.
In fact it was 'truth' that struck me most about The River, Harriet's beguiling 'truth', an honesty as yet untarnished by the inhibitions of beckoning adulthood, and one which somehow all matched the integrity of the landscape and the house as portrayed by Rumer Godden.
And from the Preface, (which I wanted as an Afterword,) Rumer Godden talks movingly about how the book came into being..
There is a vast difference between a book that is vouchsafed, its idea or theme coming of itself into your mind and a book that comes from searching for a story or a plot that fits the idea that is in your mind.The River was one of those rare books that are given to you...'
A gift all round in that case, and how pleased and grateful I am to have finally read it.

Remains Nation's Top Team, But
Plenty of Contenders Are Lurking
Cape Cod League's Harwich Mariners remain the nation's top-ranked
summer-league team for the third week in a row, but there are plenty
of teams lining up to bump the Mariners from their perch if they
should falter over the course of the summer.
among them is the Orleans Firebirds, Harwich's Eastern Division
rival in the Cape Cod League. The Firebirds boast the same 12-3
record and rank No. 2 nationally in Perfect Game's ranking of the
top 30 teams for the second straight week.
chances of overtaking Harwich, though, took another hit on Friday
when closer Trevor Gott (Kentucky), who led the Cape in saves a year
ago and had saved four more games this season, hurt his shoulder and
was forced to leave the team. The severity of the injury is unclear.
was the second major loss to the Orleans pitching staff in little
more than a week as Arizona State righthander Trevor Williams, a
potential first-rounder in the 2013 draft, left the Firebirds to join
USA Baseball's college national team.
the meantime, Harwich has only added talent to its roster since the
start of the 2012 season, and ran off a recent streak of nine wins in
a row. Outfielder Phil Ervin, a rising junior at Samford, has been
the dominant player for the Mariners from the outset, hitting .364
with a Cape-best eight homers and 16 RBIs, but the late additions of
Stanford outfielder Austin Wilson and Louisiana State righthander
Aaron Nola may have separated Harwich, the defending Cape Cod League
champion, from Orleans—or any team in summer baseball.
6-foot-5, 245-pound Wilson hit just .204 for the Mariners in 2011,
but was hitting .355-5-12 in his first nine games and displaying the
kind of all-around raw talent that will make him one of the top
candidates to go No. 1 overall in the 2013 draft. Nola (2-0, 0.82 in
his first two starts) may be the top prospect in the Cape this summer
in the 2014 draft class.
those teams expected to give Harwich and Orleans a run for the No. 1
ranking in the country are a number of equally-hot clubs in various
leagues around the country, notably the No. 3-ranked Wenatchee
AppleSox (18-3) of the West Coast League, No. 4-ranked Mankato
MoonDogs (25-7) of the Northwoods League, No. 5-ranked Keene Swamp
Bats (14-4) of the New England College League, No. 6-ranked Amsterdam
Mohawks (19-3) of the Perfect Game Collegiate League and No. 7-ranked
East Texas Pump Jacks (21-4) of the Texas Collegiate League.
have capitalized on early season hot streaks to surge into the top 10
nationally. With 18 wins in its last 19 games, achieved largely on
the strength of a dominant young pitching staff, Amsterdam may be the
hottest team in the country.
by Harwich and Orleans, a total of six teams from the Cape Cod
League, acknowledged as the nation's most-prestigious
summer-college league, occupy spots in Perfect Game's Top 30
ranking. The Coastal Plain, Northwoods and Valley leagues all have
three teams ranked.
are ranked on the following criteria: won-loss record, league
dominance, depth and quality of professional-level talent and the
overall strength of the league. To receive consideration, teams must
have at least a .500 record overall.

At St. Bonaventure, we root for each other's success and happiness. So it shouldn't surprise current students that faithful Bona alumni have jumped at the opportunity to share career advice and experiences with them.
Bonnies4Bonnies is a new career networking event aimed at connecting students and alumni and is planned for 3 to 5 p.m. Friday, Feb. 12, in Doyle Dining and Board of Trustees Rooms. The event is hosted by St. Bonaventure's Career and Professional Readiness Center (CPRC).
Registration for the networking event is now open at www.sbu.edu/Bonnies4Bonnies. The deadline to register is Wednesday, Feb. 10.
Following a keynote talk on "The Power of the Bonaventure Alumni Connection," students will have the chance to meet and mingle with alumni representing a broad spectrum of professional roles, from freelance writer to corporate executive.
"Our alumni are passionate about supporting our students after they leave the university, whether it be through opportunities or professional recommendations and connections," said Pamela Ferman, assistant director and employer relations coordinator at the CPRC. "Our alumni have gone on to excel in the job market, and having the ability to bring them back to talk to students is invaluable to their career success."
Alumni participating in Bonnies4Bonnies represent many major urban cities and an impressive mix of companies.
The CPRC will have representation from New York City, Washington, D.C., Buffalo, New Jersey, Pittsburgh, Charlotte, Rochester and companies like SiriusXM, New York Life, Toyota, Nissan North America, Scholastic, Constellation Brands, Rohrbach Brewing Company, Fisher-Price and M&T Bank, said Ferman.
For students undecided about a career path, Bonnies4Bonnies is an opportunity to find out more about a particular profession from someone in the field who is willing to speak candidly about its pros and cons.
Addressing students and alumni in the keynote address will be alumnus Kevin Cleary, marketing manager of sponsorships and promotions for Nestlé Waters North America, the global leader in the bottled water industry.
Cleary has worked at Nestlé Waters for 11 years in various sales, communications and marketing roles.
