Sunset Coast Writers workshops differ from traditional writing groups, in which members submit a work-in-progress for critique. Although the dictionary defines “critique” as “detailed evaluation,” all too often it translates to “tear it to pieces,” a process that many believe is the only way for a writer to learn. I disagree. While there is a place for measured review of completed work, there is also a place for encouraging – and in some cases, reviving – the creative spark that resides within each of us.
At Sunset Coast Writers, we write together in response to prompts I offer, using the Amherst Writers & Artists method developed by Pat Schneider. After we write, we are invited (but not forced) to read our work aloud. Fresh writing can be fragile, and so we respond only with what we liked, what worked well, and what we will remember. Not until a piece of writing has been presented in a typed form for group review do we offer suggestions that might help the writer fulfill his or her own intention for the work.
Experienced as well | as new writers benefit from this process: By learning to recognize strengths in the writing of others, we learn to build upon our own strengths rather than focusing solely on our weaknesses. Many who come to the workshops seeking motivation find themselves writing more – and more freely. Writing begets writing: the more you write, the more you write – and the more you improve | [

Gov. Rick Perry’s campaign today tweaked U.S. Sen. Kay Bailey Hutchison over a visit to a Cleburne Dairly Queen.

Perry spokesman Mark Miner said in a statement, “As Sen. Hutchison continues to travel the state promoting her independence from Texas voters, it’s ironic that the queen of earmarks would visit Dairy Queen. With a 17-year career in Washington of voting for bailouts, earmarks, and record spending, the senator should feel right at home, even though the Dairy Queen she is visiting is not in Washington.”

Rootsy Americana Alt. Country
Bill Culp: A Roots’N’Roll Biography
“Roots music” can mean different things. It can mean getting back to the foundations of popular music in country, blues, and rockabilly. It can also mean getting back to where you came from. Bill Culp’s debut album, Roots’N’Roll, combines both meanings. Culp calls on the spirit of Carl Perkins, Johnny Cash, and Buddy Holly while interpreting them | through the Southern Ontario (Canada) musical environment he grew up in. Country, rockabilly, pop, folk and roll & roll elements are fused together on 14 solid tracks comprised of originals and covers of local nuggets.
Bill Culp was born in Dunnville, Ontario where there were only two kinds of music: country and what young people were listening to. The combination of rock and roll energy and rootsy honesty has been the signature of Culp’s 20 years on the Canadian roots and rock music scene.

I'll start this puppy off, by repeating a question I asked many moons ago and never got a correct answer to.
It's a song from the mid-90s -- I'd say '95, '96. It's a mid-temp, heavy distortion alternative rock song about a guy in love with an underaged girl. The only lyrics I remember are "Stay with me Diana," and I seem to remember a mention of the girl being sixteen. Which leads me to think -- I say think, I am not entirely positive -- that it could be a 90s alt-rock cover of the Paul Anka song Diana, which shares that same lyric line.

Earlier this morning, the Philadelphia Flyers announced that the organization had once again acquired goaltender Brian Boucher, this time from Carolina – along with defenseman Mark Alt – for minor league forward Luke Pither. No matter how far away Boucher gets, he seems to keep making his way back to where it all started – Philadelphia.
In 10 games last season, Boucher had a 3.41 goals-against average and a.881 save percentage, while battling a groin injury for much of the season. The move adds depth in goal for the Flyers, who have no guarantees in starter Ilya Bryzgalov or his backup, Michael Leighton. The 36-year-old journeyman will likely spend the season in the Adirondacks with the Flyers’ AHL affiliate.
Boosh, as he’s called, has long been a fan favorite in Philadelphia. In 1995 the Flyers selected Boucher 22 overall in the hopes they had found its goaltender once current netminder Ron Hextall called it quits. He was the third goaltender to | be chosen by that point in draft – J.S. Giguere went to Hartford at 13 and Martin Biron went to Buffalo at 16. He would spend three seasons with the Flyers but the team gave up on the Boosh experiment, went a different direction in goal and traded him off in 2002.
He would bounce around to several different teams before surprisingly making his way back to Philadelphia in 2009 | [

Office Of The President US Airways
High Point University was featured in the Fall 2011 US Airways Magazine
A young man whom I had known since he was in high school stopped by to see me and proudly display his new MBA.
“I know a master’s degree alone doesn’t guarantee success,” he said. “What do you think is the most important quality for someone who wants to become a business leader?”
I answered without hesitation: The ability to communicate.
Individuals who communicate effectively with people at all levels, of both genders, and from a variety of cultures and backgrounds are today’s pacesetters.
In the old-style hierarchical, authoritarian setting, communication is relatively simple. The top person tells the underlings to jump, and the underlings need only ask, “How high?”
In a modern organization, communication requires more finesse. The leader is not a transmitter of commands but a creator of motivational environments.
The workers are not robots responding to switches and levers, but thinking individuals pouring their ingenuity into the corporate purpose.
The corporate ideal is not mechanical stability, but dynamic, innovative, continuous change.
The leader who can’t communicate can’t create the conditions that motivate. The genius who | can’t communicate is intellectually impotent. The organization that can’t communicate can’t change, and the corporation that can’t change is dead.
The good news is that anyone can become an effective communicator. The door to effective communication will open to anyone who uses these five | [

Rove Pointing Fitzgerald to Cheney
Rove said cooperating in CIA leak inquiry

Karl Rove, Deputy White House Chief of Staff and
special adviser to President George W. Bush, has

prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald in the ongoing CIA leak
investigation, sources close to the investigation say.

Enjoy it while you can. That was the message hanging over the second leg of the Supercopa at Camp Nou between Barcelona and Real Madrid.

STUDIOLAB have designed the interior for an apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan.
Description from the designers:
The owners of this prewar apartment on the Upper West Side of Manhattan wanted to combine two dark and tightly configured units into a single unified space. StudioLAB was challenged with the task of converting the existing arrangement into a large open three bedroom residence. The previous configuration of bedrooms along the Southern window wall resulted in very little sunlight reaching the public spaces. Breaking the norm of the traditional building layout, the bedrooms were moved to the West wall of the combined unit, while the existing internally held Living Room and Kitchen were moved towards the large South facing windows, resulting in a flood of natural sunlight. Wide-plank grey-washed walnut flooring was applied throughout the apartment to maximize light infiltration. A concrete office cube was designed with the supplementary space which features walnut flooring wrapping up the walls and ceiling. Two large sliding Starphire acid-etched glass doors close the space off to | create privacy when screening a movie. High gloss white lacquer millwork built throughout the apartment allows for ample storage. LED Cove lighting was utilized throughout the main living areas to provide a bright wash of indirect illumination and to separate programmatic spaces visually without the use of physical light consuming partitions. Custom floor to ceiling Ash wood veneered doors accentuate the height of doorways and blur room thresholds. The master suite features a walk-in-closet, a large bathroom with radiant heated floors and a custom steam shower. An integrated Vantage | [

As responsible and law abiding home or business owners, we are all encouraged to do the right thing and take out insurance policies to cover all eventualities. These providers are quick to tout for our hard earned dollar and give assurances, which at the time afford us piece of mind; but in reality, many of these commitments are not actually what they appear to be at face value. Small print gets a bad press for a good reason, there is very often some hidden get out clause, written in 'insurance language', that should the need arise for a claim to be submitted, the insurer will refer to and very possibly twist to their own advantage and adjust the policy accordingly.
As a trained attorney, I am here to act for the good folk of Illinois and ensure that they are not subject to the bully boy tactics which are often displayed by a public adjuster, who may have ulterior motives to try and get a client to settle for less than their entitlement.

SPOILER ALERT! NCIS wrapped its eighth season last night, and with it, the Port-to-Port killer arc that not only buried recurring favorite Mike Franks (Muse Watson) but also forced the appointment of a new SECNAV (Secretary of the Navy), who’s already given Tony an assignment to handle a leak at the agency. Executive producer Gary Glasberg, who wrote the episode, phoned us to break it down.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: I can’t believe E.J. survived that finale. Was there ever talk of killing her off?
GARY GLASBERG: You mean between the second to last episode and the finale?
Well, at that part in the story or at the end of the finale when Cobb [guest star Kerr Smith] had his three hostages.
Historically, NCIS has been known to kill off some its women, and this was an instance where we had decided as a group that we didn’t want to do that | . We knew there was lots of jeopardy to be had, and hopefully it worked out well.
E.J. said she was leaving her “post.” So she’s leaving NCIS for good, or just for now?
She’s giving up her post in Spain and most likely probably taking a leave of absence, if not more than that, and then we’ll have to see where things end up for her.

The measure, House Bill 350, was drafted by Rock based on the recommendations of the Pennsylvania Task Force on Child Protection that was created by the General Assembly in the wake of the Jerry Sandusky child sexual abuse scandal.
"Rep. Rock's legislation is worthwhile, in that it amends the law to hold criminals even more accountable when they victimize children," said District Attorney Matt Fogal.
"I'm always for that, but I also understand that my role is to enforce the law, rather than make it."
If signed into law, anyone 18 or older who causes bodily injury to a child younger than 12 could be charged with a first-degree misdemeanor.
In addition, a first-degree felony charge could be brought if an adult attempts to cause or intentionally, knowingly or recklessly causes serious bodily injury to a child younger than 12.
Another section of the bill provides for additional criminal charges and penalties if the child is younger than 4.
"The law would not necessarily change the manner in which we prosecute criminals, but rather give the court an ability to hold these criminals more accountable and punish them more | severely at sentencing," Fogal said.
The recommendations of the task force were delivered in November and lawmakers in the House drafted and passed additional

There’s a Poodle in that Park!
The unique cultural character of hyper-localism is being recognized in a new public art project Memento by Gisele Amantea, that pays homage to the unique variety of collectible and antique shops, thrift stores and corner stores along the 88 Blocks of Main Street.
Untitled (Poodle), a 33‐foot high sculpture, comprises a 7‐foot high cast aluminum representation of a porcelain poodle figurine perched on a platform atop a 25‐foot high steel pole. Can you guess where this representation of a formal porcelain figurine is located?
Finding it will be less of a challenge for those aboard the articulated trolleys that service the #3 Main bus route. TransLink has partnered with the City of Vancouver’s Public Art Program to help realize Amantea’s vision of a suite of three temporary works that actually move along the thoroughfare aboard and outside this key mode of transport.
Memento – Pink completely wraps an articulated trolley in a knit cozy of a pink poodle and includes an interior card inside the trolley that references a | how‐to book from the 1960s for making wool poodle cozies.

Risk CapitalKey to Progress
OCTOBER 01, 1956 by WILLIAM H. PETERSON
Dr. Peterson, professor of economics at New York University, is also assistant to ¢h¢ Dean of the Graduate School of Business Administration.
Political oratory now to Election Day will probably once again carry barbed references to “bloated Wall Street,” “the moneyed interests,” “the New York bankers,” and so forth. For, according to the leftwingers, Wall Street is a den of iniquity conceived for parasites who “get rich” by cornering, “manipulation,” and speculation in general.
Nothing, of course, could be further from the truth. But the myth has been seducing the gullible ever since Marx’s Das Kapital linked capital with the “exploiting bourgeoisie” against the “exploited proletariat.” Quite the contrary to Marx’s thesis, capital (and hence Wall Street) does not at all exploit the American worker but, rather, equips him with the sinews of industrial might—railroads, steel mills, auto plants, generating stations, coal mines, oil wells. Capital does not stop at merely affording productive facilities; it goes on to provide the life | blood of all the distributive facilities as well—department stores, banks, supermarkets, drive-in theaters, laundries, and all the other phases of the American economy which the economist frequently lumps into the classification, “the service industries.” In short, capital is man’s servant, hardly his “exploiter.” And it may be argued that it is the American worker himself who inadvertently is the “exploiter.” He exploits capital.

On opposite sides of the world, the brother and sister sat transfixed before their computers, reading a stranger's account of long-ago secrets and deeply buried sins.
The memo was just four pages long, about an incident in 1963 at a Boy Scout camp in New Jersey. A Scout executive had gotten drunk during an overnight outing, then was discovered gambling with a group of boys. But there was more.
The brother and sister read on — about how this man "was observed molesting an Explorer | Scout sitting at his side." About how he was admitted, voluntarily, to a mental hospital. They read about an investigation that determined he had tried to molest another Scout. It found that this man's "problem," as the document called it, had apparently existed for decades.
They read, too, about a call from this local Boy Scouts council for "suppression of spread of incident beyond group with knowledge of it." ''We know enough to advise that Brandon P. Gray should never again | [

quilomboArticle Free Pass
quilombo, also called mocambo, in colonial Brazil, a community organized by fugitive slaves. Quilombos were located in inaccessible areas and usually consisted of fewer than 100 people who survived by farming and raiding. The largest and most famous was Palmares, which grew into an autonomous republic and by the 1690s had 20,000 inhabitants. It owed its prosperity to abundant irrigated land and the abduction of slaves from Portuguese plantations. The abducted slaves were kept in bondage by the runaways. Several Portuguese | and Dutch slave-hunting expeditions (bandeiras) attempted to destroy Palmares; one of these finally succeeded in 1694.

Critical 10: Double Albums

Double albums are often a maligned species of release, mostly because they often represent an out of control ego (a la Smashing | Pumpkins' Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness or any number of prog rock records of the late '70s) or a band who could have released one completely excellent album but -- presumably because no one could | [

Prince Harry resurfaces in London, England
Britain’s Prince Harry was happy to poke fun at himself on Monday when he made his first official public appearance since pictures of him cavorting naked while on holiday in Las Vegas were published.
The 27-year-old prince, third-in-line to the British throne, made news around the world two weeks ago when the pictures of him naked with a young woman in his hotel suite were printed in newspapers and on websites.
Giving a speech before handing out awards for the WellChild charity for seriously ill children for which he is a patron, Harry jokingly alluded to the incident as he paid tribute to the winners.
“All of you, children, families, nurses, doctors, carers, volunteers are quite frankly too remarkable for me adequately to describe with mere words,” he said.

CARSON CITY, Nev.
Nevada's unemployment rate rose in March to 10.4 percent, its highest level in a quarter of a century, according to a state report released Friday.
The Department of Employment, Training and Rehabilitation report shows the seasonally adjusted rate was up from 10 percent in February – and also shows the state well above the national jobless rate of 8.5 percent in March. About 146,200 Nevadans were out of work while 1.2 million others held jobs.
Compared with other states, Nevada has the nation's seventh-highest rate. Michigan leads with a 12.6 percent jobless rate.

"The rate would have been higher if not for a decline in the labor force," said Bill Anderson, chief economist for DETR. "Nearly 14,000 Nevada workers dropped out of the labor force from the previous month. Most were likely too discouraged to actively seek employment."

Below is a step-by-step description on how I developed "The Pearl".
STEP 1. Put some ideas on to paper. Make sketches. (Sometimes, I end up making the
rejected sketch also into another painting.)
STEP 1.a. Second sketch done. Selected for painting. I like her breasts.
STEP 2. Transfer the drawing on to a 20"x24" stretched canvas. Sometimes there are small adjustments made to the image when laid on the canvas. In this case, cover the breasts a bit to put a bit of "mystery" to her chest. But the real reason is of a more "prudish" nature. The mermaid's a bit too shy. :-) Oh, and I am still thinking whether the whole scene would be under the light of the moon or in daylight. Or perhaps a gloomy sky before a storm. Let's see what would evolve.
STEP 3. Paint the base colors. Although I have a general idea of the main final colors I'd use, I just let the colors "ev | olve" as I go along. However, I like to begin by applying a darker base paint to cover the main image grounds - like the sea and sky. Why? I exclusively use acrylic and as I apply the lighter colors later, I can chose to let the darker base paint "peek" through - or not. It'd depend on how this evolves.

Forgiveness as a Theme
In today’s post, I’d like to highlight several films that engage in one way or another with the theme of forgiveness (both of oneself and that of others). The affirmative expression of forgiveness and its role in repairing damaged lives and communities will be a central point of discourse during this year’s Reading Together programs. Each of these films and their characters either directly or sometimes in subtle ways explores the ways in which subjects negotiate the complexities of forgiveness, either on a broad social level or that of individuals in search of unburdening of some sort of psychic pain in order to reconnect (Ordinary People). Throughout these films, there is a thematic current of struggle to redeem and to mend, cours | ing its way through the lives of characters as they hunt for meaning in an otherwise turbulent and uncertain world.
