Now that we are in the midst of the off-season, I decided to read up on a few books that have been on my book list for a while now. My latest read was Hunting High Country Mule Deer by Mike Eastman. In this short review, I’ve put together a few of my own thoughts on the material.
Formatting: I purchased this book as a Kindle book on my new Kindle Fire. While the content of the book was good, the formatting of the pictures and captions within the book were a bit wonky. I’m not sure why this is, but some of the pictures and caption boxes we dis-jointed from each other. Not a big deal, but a bit annoying.
Content: In my opinion, the content of this book is very informative, descriptive, and offers personal accounts of good hunting tactics. I’ll admit that I’ve not yet been on a true quest for mule deer, but I have spent weeks in the country they call home chasing elk. I do know that the tactics and strategies for elk and mule deer can be quite different so do your homework before taking off for these high country timber ghosts. This book contains a wide variety of methods for all types of hunting grounds.
Some of the quotes that I highlighted during my reading:
"The most ineffective way to hunt a big buck is to walk around in hopes of jumping and spotting him. Remember, if a mule deer knows you’re around more often than not he just stays hid until you have left the area."
"Mule deer have eight power eyesight and are accustomed to scanning the horizons and skylines for danger. Because ridges are the paths of least resistance, most hunters move along them like highways. Bucks have learned to bed down where they can scan many ridges at once for hunter traffic"
"In order for a deer to grow into a super buck, he has to survive at least seven years of hunting pressure"
"Remember one thing…your time is more wisely spent scouting and finding a trophy mule deer than blindly wandering around a creek drainage hoping to stumble upon a trophy buck during the heat of the hunting season."
Discussion: Big game hunting is a continual learning process and I'd venture to say that regardless of your level of hunting experience, this book probably has a something to offer everyone.
As many of you know, some states in the West still manage for very high quality mule deer herds and trophy bucks. Do you think we have missed the hey day of mule deer hunting? Some folks seem to think so. From the research that I’ve done, I still feel that there are plenty of mule deer hunting opportunities out there, but many great tags are likely to be swiped up by those hunters with stacks of preference points.
What’s your opinion on the outlook for mule deer over the next 10 years? I'm a bit scared that urban sprawl and human development will continue to push them out. Hopefully the mulies can become as adaptable as the whitetails across the US.
I’d also like to know your thoughts on this book. Feel free to leave a thread below in the comment section.


Here’s a list of books for parents and tutors that I’ve found useful over the years. It’s not necessary to read any of these books in order for you to teach your child to read. This list is purely for your own information.
The only trouble with reading them is that reading them can lead to information overload, which leads to ‘analysis paralysis’ – so nothing gets done. And your student still hasn’t learned to read.
Remember, it’s far more useful to ensure your child learns to read, than to over-research or worry. Being informed has its place, but it’s no substitute for action!
You don’t need to know anything more than you already do, in order to use my courses. This applies to you even if you are not a native English speaker.
The books for parents and tutors listed below are in alphabetical order. (You should be able to buy any of these books through your local book store or online.)
ENDANGERED MINDS – WHY CHILDREN DON’T THINK, AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT
by Jane Healy, Ph.D
In this book, you can find information about why children are becoming harder to teach. It deals with: attention problems, brain development, computers, education, how the brain learns, learning difficulties, lifestyle choices, speech problems, television and thinking ability. This is a particularly readable and informative book for parents, teachers and tutors.
Although this book was written in the 90’s, what it says is still relevant today because the problems Dr. Healy talks about are even worse than they were back then.
THE MIND AND THE BRAIN – NEUROPLASTICITY AND THE POWER OF MENTAL FORCE
by Jeffrey M. Schwartz, M.D. and Sharon Begley
This is a book for those interested in how the brain changes and adapts. It provides a lot of reassurance for people trying to teach someone (of any age) with a learning problem.
It contains material on Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, and how Dr. Schwartz helped his patients overcome this problem. He does this to show just how malleable the brain really is.
The book also covers the area of brain/mind, as well as the author’s Buddhist perspective on free will.
If you’re interested in this area, this is a fascinating, but pretty ‘heavy duty’ book.
by Lucy Jane Miller, Ph.D OTR and Doris A. Fuller
This book and the following books by Dr. Miller, provide information on what is going on when a child has a sensory processing disorder. Perhaps your child is seriously upset by: strong smells, loud noises, too much visual stimulation, too much human interaction and/or being touched (or even clothes rubbing on his or her body), or perhaps your child sleeps badly, or can’t remember instructions. If so, this book could explain exactly what is going on – and give you some easy to understand information on what to do to help.
A major plus with this book is that it is SO easy to read and understand, and it covers ‘overlapping’ conditions such as; Autism, ADHS, Developmental Delay and Special Needs, and it explains why each child is different and has different problems – even though each child might have the same disorder.
THE OUT-OF-SYNC CHILD & THE OUT-OF-SYNC CHILD HAS FUN
by Carol Kranowitz and Lucy Jane Miller
The first book, The Out-of-Sync Child, explains the signs of Sensory Processing Disorder, by telling readers about a number of case studies. This helps readers quickly see how their child compares and contrasts with these other children.
It helps you pin down exactly which issues your child has. It’s a comfort to know the problem isn’t ‘everything’. Then the book moves on to the diagnosis and treatment of this problem.
The second book, The Out-of-Sync Child Has Fun, tells you what to DO in much greater detail. It contains a wealth of activities ANY child would benefit from. These days, very few children do all the physical activities we did as children – so i think this book would be a great help to any parent, homeschool parent or teacher wanting to incorporate useful and appropriate physical activities into a child’s day.
These activities are categorised into section, so you can choose a child’s weaker areas and strengthen those, as well as further developing the areas in which your child is gifted.
I really think it’s a good idea to get both of these books at the same time, if you think this topic is relevant to your child.
WHY JOHNNY CAN’T READ
by Rudolf Flesch
This is the book that got the ball rolling in 1966. That’s how long it is since the major reaction started against fautly reading instruction methods – nearly 60 years!
My copy is from the 1985 reprint. And although we’re further ahead with research now, we haven’t improved at all when it comes to reading instruction in schools.
This book explains what had gone wrong with the teaching of reading all those years ago, and, since things haven’t changed, it explains what’s still wrong now – so it’s still very relevant.
The last part of the book contains a simple learn-to-read course that a parent or tutor can use to teach the reading of single words using a straightforward basic phonics course. Unfortunately, it doesn’t cover all the sound/letter combinations, so while it’s very useful for background information, it’s not a course I could recommend for teaching someone to read.
WHY OUR CHILDREN CAN’T READ – AND WHAT WE CAN DO ABOUT IT
by Diane McGuinness Ph.D.
If you’ve read many of my articles, you will have noticed that many of them are based on information in this book. At times, the book gets fairly ‘heavy duty’, but if you want to read just one book on the problem – this is it.
Dr. McGuinness goes right back to the beginning, when writing began, and explains how civilisations developed reading. She explains why English is written with an alphabet, and why we must teach students how to read by starting with the sounds the students already speak.
There are examples in the book of faulty strategies students will use to try to read, if they’re not taught correctly and required to follow the correct method. Many parents and tutors will have students they ‘recognise in this book.
The importance of phonemic awareness is also covered in this book, as is the importance of teaching English in ‘layers’, so the students learn the Basic Code, before they progress to the more difficult work.
While the book doesn’t contain a course, it does recommend a few courses, and gives teachers enough information so that they could formulate their own course.
WORDS AND RULES
by Steven Pinker
This book is particularly ‘heavy duty’ compared to the other books, but it’s still written in a very readable style. If you’re interested in linguistics, grammar and spelling rules, and the history of English – then you’d enjoy this book.
Pinker has written a number of books in the linguistic line, and if you get started on his books you may well want to read more of them.
I hope you find this list of books for parents and tutors useful.

This is a profile in testament to all the women and men who in their own ways have furthered gender equality but are absent in accounts of the past.
It is worth mentioning that many of the women profiled here are not central figures in books or narratives of the past; they may occur only as footnotes, if at all. Some of them, such as Fatima Aliye Hanim, have re-entered the public eye after centuries cast in the shadows.
Most of the women featured in this section are also women of privilege. They come from rich or middle class families and have had access to the best education and been able to travel.
We can only imagine how many women, girls and men of lower status have made equally valuable contributions but have been excluded or gone unremembered. There are always reasons for absent as well as present voices.
We can also see how women who have worked specifically in the area of women’s rights have not been given the same attention as men writing on the subject.
One example of this can be seen in the case of Qasim Amin, who was a respected 19th century judge. He is well known for his text, Tahrir al-Mar’a (The Liberation of Women, 1899) which has since been published into many languages. Tahrir al-Mar’a addressed many contentious issues including female seclusion and the face veil. While Amin has been hailed by some as ‘the father of Islamic feminism,’ he has also been heavily criticised, for example by Leila Ahmed, for presenting a negative view of Egyptian women and fuelling the views of colonialists.
Margot Badran however has asked why Amin’s contributions have been so celebrated while the voices of women writing about the issue around the same period have been forgotten or overlooked.
Speaking at a lecture at the centenary of the publication of Qasim Amin’s Tahrir al-Mar’a she pointed out Aisha al Taimuriyya and Hind Naufal as two examples of such women.
Aisha al Taimuriyya, who was born in 1840 was a prolific poet and writer on women’s issues. In her book ‘Embroidered Garments’ which was published in 1885 she questioned, ‘O you (men) who control our affairs, why have you left women behind?’ She regularly wrote and advocated on the benefits of educating women and made a strong case for the benefits of female education and the benefits for families and society.

This short book by psychotherapist Tom Golden discusses the differences between the masculine way of heeling and the conventional, feminine way of heeling that is much more widely understood by psychotherapy.
Tom Golden discusses the taboos of male pain and also how male bonding is often shoulder to shoulder, rather than the close eye contact preferred by women and how this might suggest approaching the therapy couch different.
He explores how men tend to deal with grief with actions that honour those they have lost rather than talking, for example, how Eric Clapton used his grief after losing his son into writing the song Tears in heaven.
Understanding these difference are vital if we are going to be able address the issue of Male suicide, but very little attention is currently being paid to the subject of how best to help men, instead, men are told that they are the problem and that the solution is for them to become more like women rather than embracing their own natural heeling mechanisms.

Bruce Levine Ph. D. | History at Illinois
By the end of these structures of wealth and power had been shattered. Millions of black people had gained their freedom, many poorer whites had ceased following their wealthy neighbors, and plantation owners were brought to their knees, losing not only their slaves but their political power, their worldview, their very way of life. This sea change was felt nationwide, as the balance of power in Congress, the judiciary, and the presidency shifted dramatically and lastingly toward the North, and the country embarked on a course toward equal rights.
Levine captures the many-sided human drama of this story using a huge trove of diaries, letters, newspaper articles, government documents, and more. When the smoke clears, not only Dixie but all of American society is changed forever.
Adding to Cart...
Brilliantly argued and engrossing, The Fall of the House of Dixie is a sweeping account of the destruction of the old South during the Civil War, offering a fresh perspective on the most colossal struggle in our history and the new world it brought into being. AB - In this major new history of the Civil War, Bruce Levine tells the riveting story of how that conflict upended the economic, political, and social life of the old South, utterly destroying the Confederacy and the society it represented and defended.

Social Life. Forced Labor. There is something worthwhile in the assemblage of these multiple viewpoints emphasizing the disintegration of slavery occurred during the war, not after it. It is worth noting that the reactions of Southerners are defined by a rather unsurprising narrowness of range, though, and are marked by noticeable lack of change in tone as the Civil War progressed. Planters worried about losing their property throughout the conflict, yeomen farmers claiming a few or no slaves worried over their place in a free society as that increasingly became a likelihood, and both worried over how to manage the obviously unhappy enslaved population during a devastating war.

That thousands of bondsmen would end up serving as troops was too much to take for many. That is its contribution to the historiography on the subject and the sole reason students of the Civil War era will want to consult it.
Widely researched and well-written, it is for the most part entertaining even if often inherently repetitive. But this is no reframing of our understanding of the war and provides no genuine revelations about Southern society during the Civil War. For the best studies of both of those topics, readers will still look elsewhere. You are commenting using your WordPress.

“Ernest Lemon was one of the most capable engineer/managers of his generation, as evidenced by his role in the LMS as Vice-President; and, later, in the Air Ministry as Director-General of Production supporting Sir Wilfrid Freeman. This biography of Lemon is an important contribution to business and political history and tells the story of Lemon’s career in both railways and aviation. It sheds light on an important player in British engineering, using important new archival material, to reveal a complex personality and the very human face of business and policy.”
Dr Roy Edwards, Southampton University School of Management
In the summer of 1938, the Government of this country finally reacted to the charges of incompetence in the management of the re-armament programme for the RAF. The programme had been dogged by controversy, monetary restrictions and delays, but the aggressive behaviour of Germany suddenly lent an even greater urgency to the situation. Production of the much vaunted new generation of fighter aircraft had stagnated and was months behind schedule. The defence of this country still rested largely on obsolete aircraft.
To solve the problem, the Government appointed Mr E.J.H. Lemon of the LMS Railway as Director-General of Production at the Air Ministry, charged with the task of completing the existing programme on schedule. When this country had to face the full might of German air attacks in the summer of 1940, the RAF was ready. The Battle of Britain was a close-fought affair, but the RAF did have sufficient aircraft – just!
The story of the Battle of Britain has been told in innumerable books. What is not so well-known is how these aircraft were produced in the quantities required – and the dynamism and urgency brought to the project by one man.
Ernest John Hutchings Lemon was the son of a labourer in an obscure Dorset village who rose to become a Vice-President of the LMS Railway. Throughout the 1920s and 1930s he revolutionised the way the railway worked, seeking to eliminate old and inefficient practices. He was one of the first proponents in this country of Scientific Management, a business philosophy first developed in the USA, and he introduced the principles to all phases of railway working and management.
This is the story of his life.

The TiKV transactions SIG is starting up its reading group. We'll try to read and discuss a paper each month. If you're interested in research in distributed transactions, come join in!
We'll start by reading 'Industrial-Strength OLTP Using Main Memory and Many Cores', by Avni et al. at Huawei Research Centre. It was published in the proceedings of VLDB 2020 and you can download it from them.
The paper describes a new storage engine for GaussDB (an HTAP (OLTP + OLAP) database from Huawei), that includes a transaction system, and a JIT compiler for SQL processing. For the full abstract, see below. (I realise that's a brief summary, I haven't read it yet so I can discuss it in real time with the group).
Since we're just starting and there's the Christmas break next month, we'll be reading this paper through November and December. During that time anyone interested can discuss anything in the paper (or related to the paper) in a dedicated slack channel: #sig-txn-reading-group-nov-dec-21. If there is interest, then we'll have a live discussion on Zoom and/or a presentation hosted by the SIG in early January. We'll record any artefacts and some discussion highlights in the sig-txn repo.
If you'd like to nominate a paper to read next month (January 2021), please add it to this issue. Any research paper or white paper which covers distributed transactions or related work are suitable, both recent work and classics. We'll choose one and let everyone know around the end of December.
This is our first time running a remote reading group, so we'll need to evolve things as we go along. If you have any suggestions please let us know!
Looking forward to discussing the paper with you in Slack!
GaussDB, and its open source version named openGauss, are Huawei’s relational database management systems (RDBMS), featuring a primary disk-based storage engine. This paper presents a new storage engine for GaussDB that is optimized for main memory and many cores. We started from a research prototype which exploits the power of the hardware but is not useful for customers. This paper describes the details of turning this prototype to an industrial storage engine, including integration with GaussDB. Standard benchmarks show that the new engine provides more than 2.5x performance improvement to GaussDB for full TPC-C on Intel’sx86 many-cores servers, as well as on Huawei TaiShan servers powered by ARM64-based Kunpeng CPUs.

The Road to Captivity | Dr. C.R. Oliver | Book Review
“The Road to Captivity” by Dr. C.R. Oliver is a thorough exposition into the Book of Jeremiah. The author takes the biblical prophetic book chapter by chapter, relating the verses to the prevailing theme of how a nation and people are collectively going down the road to captivity because of their rejection of their God, El Shaddai (among other names attributed to Him based on His holy attributes). The author relates personal as well as scriptural asides in explaining the relative verses of each chapter. In doing so, he makes his commentary relevant to the situation of any people and nation who has rejected their Creator in exchange for their own way of corrupt lifestyles and immoral choices.

The Watchers | Dr. C.K. Quarterman | Book Review
“The Watchers” by Dr. C.K. Quarterman is an intriguing look into the grand scheme behind the fall of humanity and how that grave consequence is playing out even unto this very day! Using tried and true hermeneutical methods (e.g., literal-grammatical-historical and scripture defining scripture methods), Dr. Quarterman utilizes Scripture as well as consulting relevant extra-biblical sources to piece together a comprehensive understanding of how the creation account unfolded. He carefully parses the opening verses of Genesis and highlights certain biblical Hebrew words to ascertain the mystery of a Pre-Adamite world. Continue reading The Watchers Book Review


The Good Friday Agreement for Dummies: A Simplified Guide
The Good Friday Agreement, also known as the Belfast Agreement, is a historic peace accord that was signed on April 10, 1998, by the governments of the United Kingdom and the Republic of Ireland, as well as the major political parties in Northern Ireland. The agreement sought to bring an end to the decades-long conflict in Northern Ireland, commonly known as the Troubles, which saw sectarian violence between Protestants and Catholics.
Here`s a quick and easy guide to understanding the Good Friday Agreement:
1. Power-Sharing Government
The Good Friday Agreement established a power-sharing government in Northern Ireland. This means that political power is shared between both the Protestant and Catholic communities, ending the long-standing dominance of the Unionist party. The Northern Ireland Assembly is made up of representatives from both communities who work together to govern the region.
2. Decommissioning of Weapons
The agreement called for the decommissioning of paramilitary weapons held by both Republican and Loyalist groups. This was a crucial component of the peace process, as it removed the threat of violence and helped to build trust between the two communities.
3. The Principle of Consent
The Good Friday Agreement affirmed the principle of consent, which means that the future of Northern Ireland can only be determined by its people. This means that Northern Ireland`s constitutional status cannot be changed without the consent of its citizens.
4. The Creation of the North-South Ministerial Council
The agreement created the North-South Ministerial Council, which is made up of representatives from both the Northern Ireland Assembly and the Irish government. This council works to promote cooperation and coordination between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland on issues such as agriculture, transportation, and the environment.
5. Human Rights Protections
The agreement also included provisions to protect human rights and ensure equality for all citizens of Northern Ireland. This includes guarantees for freedom of religion, protection against discrimination, and the establishment of a Human Rights Commission.
In conclusion, The Good Friday Agreement was a landmark achievement in the history of Northern Ireland and a significant step towards peace and stability in the region. The agreement recognized the rights of both communities, promoted cooperation between Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland, and sought to build a future based on mutual respect and understanding.


Hamish Wilson was born in Cheltenham in 1959. Having won a scholarship to Rendcomb College, he went on to take a degree in French Literature at Sussex University before training to be a teacher in London. His formal education finished with an MA in Arts Education at the Central School of Speech and Drama.
Hamish’s teaching career took him to a variety of schools, teaching a range of subjects: French, German, English and Drama. A constant, however, throughout all this, was an interest in and love of words.
He began writing when looking for a suitable play to produce at his first school, St Peter’s, a comprehensive, in Huntingdon. Resources and facilities were fairly basic in those days so he wrote a play which was tailor made for the school and its pupils. Something Rotten in the State of Denmark, a parody of Hamlet, marked his writing debut.
However, he became much more interested in the art and craft of writing when he took a group of pupils from Hitchin Boys’ School to Ty Newydd, a creative writing centre in Wales. He was inspired by the poet, Gerard Benson, who gave him the encouragement and confidence to develop his own writing.
There then followed three plays: A Tale Told by an Idiot, Alice and Eros (part of Twisted Willow’s: Seven Words for Love) and a series of sonnet cycles describing: a journey through France – A Baguette in my Sac; an autobiographical account of the Isle of Wight – Ticket to Ryde; travels in India –Tales from Rajasthan and the Maldives – Night Fishing.
Having taught for thirty-one years, he became disillusioned with the increasingly narrow and assessment driven curriculum imposed on pupils and teachers by central government and decided to leave the profession to set up The Garsdale Retreat and devote more of his time to writing.
His debut book of poetry, ‘Away from the Welsh Speaking Sea’ – a sonnet sequence inspired by the Dylan Thomas birthplace in Swansea – was launched at the birthplace on ‘Dylan Day,’ May 14th, 2017. ‘Lovely moments of vision and lyricism and surprise….delicate control.’ (Jane Draycott). ‘A warm and accessible collection of sonnets….’ (Hannah Ellis, Dylan Thomas’ grand-daughter).
He has also performed this at Dylan Thomas wreath laying events in London, 2016 and 2017.
In 2018 and 2019, he was short-listed for the WoLF poetry competition and published in the winners’ WoLF Anthologies. He was also published in ‘This Place I Know’ a new anthology of Cumbrian poetry (Handstand Press) and ‘Play’ an anthology celebrating childhood. (Paper Dart Press).
He regularly performs his poetry at Verbalise, at The Brewery Arts Centre, Kendal where, in 2019, he gave his debut performance of ‘Parallel Lives,’ as part of the Scrutinise series. Parallel Lives is a multi-media show exploring the lives of Dylan Thomas and John Lennon. With a sonnet cycle at its heart, it is presented with live music arranged for piano and cello (performed by Hamish and his partner, Rebecca Nouchette) and features film and photographic projections which all serve to enhance the power of the spoken word.
In 2020, he was short-listed for the Write Outloud Poetry Competition (judged by Andrew McMillan) in support of NHS charities and published in their anthology ‘Beyond The Storm.’ His poem ‘The Last Hurrah,’ was published by Culture Matters and The Morning Star.
He also wrote ‘Lockdown Journal,’ a sonnet sequence describing the first three weeks of lockdown which was published by Dempsey and Windle in June, 2021. His online launch included live music and he continues to perform it with a wide range of specially selected songs, accompanying Rebecca’s cello playing on the piano.
‘April 2020 was exceptional for everyone but it springs to vivid, pictorial life in these 14-line chunks of experience where the pandemic is viewed from a background of skylarks, curlews and fells.’ (Fleur Adcock). ‘Both intimate and resonant, these new sonnets from Hamish Wilson are pellucid containers of a nation’s unsettled spirit.’ (Paul Henry). ‘A profoundly moving chronicle of an unprecedented year.’ (Helen Mort).
The Garsdale Retreat represents the realisation of a dream: a return to the countryside and a haven for writing. It’s a dream he hopes many will able to share with him.
Rebecca Nouchette was born and educated in Oxford. She studied the cello at Trinity College of Music, London.
She was a founding member of two string quartets, giving interactive workshops in schools around London and performing at weddings, parties and corporate events.
Having moved out of London in 2000, she taught the cello at King’s College School, Cambridge and St Christopher School, Hertfordshire where she later became the performing arts administrator, organising whole school events such as arts weeks, concerts and drama productions.
Rebecca has always been interested in cooking but became seriously involved with it in 1986 when she became the catering manager at the Ragdale Health Club in Belsize Park where she developed a range of nutritious food. This experience, along with cooking for her family of five, proved invaluable when she had to cook for school groups, camping in the Swiss mountains. Her culinary ingenuity more than met the extreme challenge of working with six gas burners, no fridge and eighty mouths to feed.
Rebecca really loves preparing excellent, locally sourced meals at The Garsdale Retreat. She is well known to the stall holders of the markets in Hawes and Sedbergh where she buys fresh produce, including fish from Fleetwood on the day it is caught.

14 Feb Cheech’s Memoir
Counterculture legend Cheech Marin came of age at an interesting time in America and became a self-made counterculture legend with his other half, Tommy Chong.
Cheech Is Not My Real Name … But Don’t Call Me Chong is an insightful memoir that delves into how Cheech dodged the draft, formed one of the most successful comedy duos of all time, became the face of the recreational drug movement with the film Up in Smoke, forged a successful solo career with roles in The Lion King and, more recently, Jane the Virgin, and became the owner of the most renowned collection of Chicano art in the world.
Written in Cheech’s uniquely hilarious voice, his memoir takes you to new highs.
Reviews & Praise
"A mildly diverting, modestly charming memoir from a surprisingly multifaceted showbiz survivor."
"Bookended by looks at his youth growing up poor in South Central Los Angeles and his development as a now well-known collector of Chicano art, this memoir is fun, wacky look inside Marin’s imagination."
"[This memoir is a] rollicking, plot-rich personal inquiry, in which Marin attempts to answer the question he has heard like a refrain over the nearly 70 years he's been alive, "What the hell are you?" A fascinating self-portrait and social and artistic history."
"As a teenager, Cheech was my hero. His generously anarchic spirit made complete sense to me. Plus he made my parents really mad. Now I am my parents age, and he seems more heroic than ever. I just finished reading CHEECH in one unable-to-put-down-the-book-adrenaline-rush. This should be required reading for anyone who has a sense of humor or a bong or a clue."
"Cheech Marin…a man I’ve known for over three decades…is one of the funniest, most profound, artistic, and creative human beings on the planet. There is so much more to this man than has been presented to the public through just Cheech & Chong. His memoir is fascinating and will no doubt hold your interest…and I’m proud to call him my friend."
"Not only is Cheech Marin an innovative comedian and actor, he is a great student of life and a generous champion of other artists. The story of his life is as interesting as the characters he creates."
"Cheech is Not My Real Name ... But Don't Call Me Chong' is a brilliant recollection of a career that spans decades. In explicit detail and precise recall, as a fan and a friend, I felt like I was finding a new piece of an incredible puzzle on every page. This book is a testament to tacitly dispel any talk about marijuana having negative effects. Cheech, thanks for sharing your amazing life with us!"
"I remember listening to Cheech and Chong's Christmas skit when I was a kid. Cheech was always a trailblazer. He’s incredibly intelligent and endlessly creative. I cast him in so many of my movies because of his magic, his heart, and his spirit. This book finally shows the side of Cheech that I've known and cherished for 25 years."
"I still can't believe I lost Celebrity Jeopardy to Cheech Marin! Had I read this book first, I would have known that besides being funny, he is smart, thoughtful and wicked fast on the buzzer."

Teachers often use examples to illustrate the point they want to make. As a language teacher, I am not an exception. While giving examples in my classes, I used to make many culturally embedded references, and when I did, many students’ showed a heightened interest. However, while I was reading Van Herk’s What is Sociolinguistics?, I became increasingly uncomfortable with the examples he used in the textbook. I have been thinking about this sense of unease for a long time, but I wasn’t sure how to articulate it until I read an article written by Patricia Duff (2004), and I found what it was that bothered me.
The story goes back to last September. When I first read Van Herk’s What is Sociolinguistics?, I found it was very accessible and fun to read: it was not as serious as other university textbooks, and it didn’t miss important concepts or studies that are significant in the field of sociolinguistics. Moreover, the author gave lots of Canadian examples to illustrate points he wanted to make, which is not common for a university textbook. More often than not, the textbooks produced by the major American textbook publishing companies hardly ever use studies carried out in the Canadian contexts as illustrative examples. So, for me, it was refreshing to see many examples drawn from Canadian contexts.
For instance, in the chapter named Place, Van Herk details the relationship between language variation and space – in effect, he examines both geographical and socially constructed space. In the middle of the chapter, he describes how an isolation that occurs between two places creates a language variation, and then he further explains three types of isolations: physical, linguistic, and social. To explain these concepts, he gave examples of Newfoundland English, Quebec French, and Nova Scotian black American royalist English. All of these locally-rooted historical Canadian examples are quite familiar if you have ever read a history of Canada, or if you have gone to a Canadian secondary school. Especially, if you can make a personal connection with the above mentioned examples, the quality of understanding the concepts will be quite different from that of others who cannot.
While I was reading this portion of the textbook, the faces of my colleagues who had arrived in Canada as recently as last August flashed before me, and I wondered whether these examples would mean anything to them. I was certain that my newly arrived colleagues were intellectually capable of understanding the concepts Van Herk wanted to explain. However, I was unsure how many of them could make a personal connection with the examples. As many educators and cognitive scientists agree, making a personal connection with idiosyncratic information is known to heighten the level of cognitive engagement.
At the same time, I felt a sense of relief that we were not going to have an in-class discussion of what we read in the textbook as many undergraduate university courses do. If we had done that, many newly arrived students would have been more silent than usual since the examples were almost foreign to them. However, it didn’t change the fact that newly arrived students needed to exert greater efforts to understand the concepts than did other Canadian students.
Then I read Duff’s research article Intertextuality and hybrid discourses (2004). In this article, she followed two grade 10 social study classes and their teachers in English-speaking Canadian school to investigate the pervasiveness of pop culture related discourses in classroom discussions and its impact on both Canada-born and immigrant students. She found that making popular culture references during classroom discussions not only makes academic topics more relevant to the Canada-born students, but it also legitimized the cultural capital of the Canadian born students. In turn, it excluded the ESL students from classroom discussions and silenced them (252-253).
This was a eureka moment: I was now able to articulate the nagging feeling that I had every time I read Van Herk’s textbook. It was the assumption the author made about what is shared between him and his readers that bothered me. When Van Herk wrote the book, I think he imagined his readers would be ‘ordinary’ Canadian university students interested in Sociolinguistics. Based on this assumption, he further imagined that many of his readers would be already familiar with Canadian contexts, so without reservation, he expansively used examples from Canada to explain sociolinguistic concepts because these examples would assist ‘ordinary’ Canadian students in grasping the sociolinguistic concepts. However, my classroom is anything but ‘ordinary’ and I am certain that these situations are being repeated at most if not all educational institutions across Canada.
Here, I am not arguing that we have to replace all the Canadian examples in the textbook with, let’s say, Nigerian examples, so that the examples won’t privilege anyone in the Canadian classroom. My point is that these examples, regardless of the good intentions of the author, often insidiously operate to privilege the cultural capital of the students from the dominant group and, in turn, they often marginalize students from non-dominant groups. So the next time you give an example to your students, I hope you first question whether your example reinforces a certain group of students’ social and cultural identities.

1. He was born in Poland near Lodz in 1859 and at an early age showed literary talent. At fifteen, he published both a sonnet translated into Hebrew from Heine’s German and an original short story in Hebrew.
2. He studied philology, philosophy and history of art at the University of Breslau.
3. His first volume of short stories highlighted Jewish characters in conflict with the attitudes and traditions of their society – a rabbi who smokes on Shabbat; an accomplished singer who abandons her people for a career.
4. Though he never made aliyah, he visited Palestine twice, once in 1911 and again in 1912, and published The Land of Israel in 1913 – writing with enormous feeling about the land, its holy places, the pioneers and the beginnings of the revival of spoken Hebrew, about which he’d been tepid before his trips.
5. He was not an observant Jew. He thought one should act according to his own conscience, rather than religious law or tradition. He did not believe that Judaism could be adapted to the spirit of his time.
6. Nonetheless, he identified with Abraham as an iconoclast, one who strikes out on his own rather than following the old ways.
7. Frischmann was an innovator in style, structure and content who achieve literary fame. Devoted to literature, he refused to employ his pen for political purposes, which he considered petty. His “Letters Concerning Literature” is one of the foundations texts of modern Hebrew literary criticism.
8. Throughout his literary career, he produced superb translations into Hebrew: of George Eliot, Pushkin, Byron, Neitsche and Hans Christian Andersen; of Goethe, Oscar Wilde, Anatole France and Shakespeare, and even a magnificent rendering of the poetry of Indian writer Rabindranath Tagore.
9. Bar Midbar, published in 1923, was a collection of stories written in biblical style and language, set in the desert following the Exodus from Egypt. The tales highlight the quandary of the Israelites, torn between their familiar habits and lusts on the one hand, and the new moral law that has been given to them on the other. I have not been able to find evidence that these stories were ever translated into English. If somebody out there knows differently, please leave a comment.
10. He died and was buried in Berlin, August 1922 .
Here is an early poem:
I shall not go with them, I shall not go; their ways are not mine,
I cannot bear their prattle, their expressions, their talk or their conversation.
I cannot tolerate their ways, their manners, or their thoughts,
Their prophets are not my prophets, their angels are not my angels.
Thoughts repel me, thoughts without minds,
I detest feelings, feelings without hearts.

In 1802 William Worsdworth wrote his sonnet : “It is a beauteous evening, calm and free…”
He had written few sonnets before. Whereas a poem like the sonnet “Composed upon Westminster Bridge…” written at the same period, is civic, this one is personal.
The purpose of this article is to say a few words about the sonnet but biographical information may come useful.
The poem was written after a walk along Calais beach, with a 10-year-old little girl.


Author Patrick Lacy has written a book that is long overdue: a detailed, in-depth examination of the facts and figures that permeate the many Elvis books, websites, articles, and public boards. He sorts through all the information and puts things in proper perspective.
Elvis Decoded also covers scores of other questions and topics that have been largely ignored or mishandled over the past 31 years. The author offers a unique perspective on the toughest questions and the most complicated issues in the Elvis Universe, and explains how things got so confusing.
Elvis Decoded - A Fan's Guide to Deciphering the Myths and Misinformation is presented in a Q&A format, and offers an examination and comparison of the numerous Elvis source materials.
Some of the topics covered in Elvis Decoded are:
-The cause of death
-The events at Graceland on August 16, 1977
-The “alive” conspiracy rumors, claims, and theories
-The Elvis-related scams and schemes
-The cemetery break-in
-Elvis’s drug use and health issues
-Elvis’s last will and testament


I heard Lama Norlha Rinpoche recount last night his harrowing escape from the Chinese invasion of his homeland, as well as subsequent events that brought him to our little corner of Tennessee.
His speaking situation was not one that many speakers would want to face. Speaking in what seemed to me to be a mixture of Tibetan and English, he had to wait patiently for an interpreter to tell the standing-room only crowd (I would estimate between 160 and 175 people gathered at the Blount County Public Library) what he had just said. Though the facilities were outstanding, the sheer number of people overwhelmed the air conditioning system.
The library’s host did a very calm, professional job of managing the crowd, but obviously knew little about the speaker (she completely mangled “Rinpoche,” which is more of a title than a part of his name–understandable, but also telling the speaker she is likely not familiar with Tibetan Buddhism).
The audience was a mix of supporters, the curious, the reluctant (at least one high school class attended in lieu of a final exam), and perhaps even the hostile (I picked up snippets of conversation indicating some folks where trying to figure out “what those folks are up to”).
Despite that, Rinpoche proceeded to hold the attention of most of the audience for 75 minutes.
Here’s what we can learn as speakers:
- Converse. Though he didn’t speak directly to audience members, Rinpoche simply conversed about his memories, and his translator likewise maintained a conversational delivery. Frequently, Rinpoche and his translator would simply talk back and forth a bit as she worked out his intention. That conversational feel came across to the audience.
- Understand your audience. Although the audience was diverse, Rinpoche understood they were mostly not Buddhists, but they were all human. He spent the time on things of interest to everyone.
- Focus on telling a story. Most of his talk consisted of him recounting the events of his life, from his entry into the monastery at 14 (after getting educated there from age 5) to the struggles of his country to his trip to our Smoky Mountains. Far from a dry recitation of fact, he followed the structure and cadences of storytellers that predate writing. He spent little time on background, getting straight into his experience as a captor of the invading Chinese. He painted verbal pictures that allowed us to “see” in our minds what happened.
- Use drama and humor. Rinpoche wove together heart-tugging scenes about his separation from his family and the privations he and his compatriots experience with descriptions of rolling down mountains and self-deprecating comments that drew chuckles from the audience.
- Don’t JUST tell a story. He used his own story to highlight the importance of his dedication to both peace and freedom, and to subtly strengthen his ties to an American audience. I’m not suggesting this was some sort of conniving strategy, but rather his awareness of the importance of connection. In other words, he told stories, but they were stories with a point, one that he made clear.
- There is a universal human language. Speaking though he was through an interpreter, Rinpoche freely gestured and modulated his voice as he described the scenes from his mind’s eye. Both through the skill of the interpreter and the natural ability to connect the interpreter’s words to the gestures, facial expressions, and paralanguage just seen and heard from Rinpoche, his nonverbal communication supported his words almost as well as they would have had the delivery been simultaneous. Once again, “out loud” has impact that goes beyond the mere delivery of words.
Have you heard a speech through an interpreter? What did you observe about effective communication still working in that situation?

LibriVox is an informal group of volunteers who record (narrate) books that are public domain in the US. These and other volunteers create and maintain the catalog, 'proof listen' the recordings, answer questions on the forum, and more. (I'm a long-time listener, and thank them heartily!)
SEE ALSO: the LibriVox section of the About page.
What books to expect at LibriVox
Books published in the US prior to 1923 are in the public domain, so expect to find well-known classics -- plus a wide variety of lesser-known works. Many remain as fresh and relevant as when they were written; others are interesting in part because of when they were written.
Some books published between 1923 and 1977 are public domain, and SciFi of this era is common at LibriVox.
SEE ALSO: the Public Domain section of the About page.
Narration at LibriVox
'Solo' books have a single reader (narrator).
'Collaborative' books might be a 'Dramatic Reading' with a different reader for each character, or may have several readers who each contributed one or more chapters.
Narration style and quality vary widely. Some readers are professionally trained actors (or amateurs who are equally skilled), others are not. Some readers may give you the same delight as being read to by a family member or friend, whereas others will likely not suit your preferences.
Readers come from around the world, and LibriVox features recordings in several dozen languages. Most readers narrate in their native language and dialect; others not. Some readers give distinct voices to each character; some do 'straight' reading ... others fall somewhere in between.
- British readers: English, Irish, Scottish, Welsh
- Reader accents: US, UK, Canada, Australia & New Zealand, Europe, Asia, South America ... incomplete but useful!
Books from other sources
To add books from a source other than LibriVox, follow the instructions on the 'Find' page: "With your regular mobile Web browser, find a link to any RSS file, press down on it until a menu pops up, copy, return here, paste below and click the button."
Some audiobooks aren't available via RSS. If you send us a link, we'd be happy to see if there's an alternate way to load the book into Aplt1.
There are many apps for playing podcasts; it's likely that one of these will be a better fit since the whole design of Aplt1 is based around books.
Still, you can add a podcast via RSS using the copy/paste method described above. However, Aplt1 does not check for updates. You can manually copy/paste the URL again later; whatever is in the new file will replace whatever was in the previous file. (Most RSS files contain at least some history, so there's likely to be a large overlap of old and new.)

The first sketchy reports of the battle in Kentucky appear:
“We only know that the battle was offered by the rebels, and lost by them, after what must have been a fierce conflict, and the sacrifice of two leaders as conspicuous as Zollicoffer and young Bailie Peyton [Junior, age 28]. The vanquished fell back to their intrenchments at Mill Spring. Thither they were pursued by the victors, assailed, and finally obliged to capitulate.” [New York Times, p. 4]
The Bowling Green correspondent of the Nashville Union boldly conjectures that there will be no fighting in Kentucky in the near future. He believes that the Federal forces are insubstantial and that Crittenden’s troops are headed for their winter quarters
Tennessee Governor Bill Haslam’s office announced Monday, December 12th that the Tennessee State Museum will display the treasured Emancipation Proclamation document, signed by Abraham Lincoln, during an exhibit to be hosted in 2013 at the state museum called “Discovering the Civil War“.
The rare document to be on display in Nashville will be the only site in the Southeast to host it.
When will it be on display? It will be on display during a six day period, during planned intervals of time (to be announced) since the document can only be exposed to 72 hours of light during its visit. The treasured document rarely leaves the National Archives.
“The Emancipation Proclamation linked the preservation of American constitutional government to the end of slavery and has become one of the country’s most treasured documents. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on Jan. 1, 1863, formally proclaiming the freedom of all slaves held in areas still in revolt,” said the Haslam-office press release.
Here is a copy of the document to be displayed.
Martial law is declared in East Tennessee.
Gen. Zollicoffer continues to haunt the southern Kentucky border.
The Memphis Avalanche takes over the Bulletin; a fire on the corner of Washington street and Centre alley destroys $30,000 of property. Nashville merchants agree to take Treasury notes as par for debts and goods. Confederate soldiers are said to be “suffering from the want of tobacco.” [NYT, p. 1
According to the Chicago Tribune, General Pillow, with 20,000 Tennessee troops, has moved into southeastern Missouri
[COPY] The following news release was originally released on June 15, 2011.
Most Tennesseans may not stop to reflect on the state’s role in the Civil War as they go about their daily lives, but now interactive technology coupled with extensive historical research can map out the battles that took place where present day grocery stores, schools and businesses stand.
The first of its kind in the nation, the Tennessee Civil War Geographic Information System (GIS) Survey shows hundreds of locations where Civil War battles, engagements, skirmishes and other military actions took place. The interactive GIS application for the Civil War in Tennessee is now available at: http://tnmap.tn.gov/civilwar/.
The web site allows modern aerial photography, street maps and land use maps to be overlaid onto sites where Civil War actions occurred in Tennessee. It also links narrative information about these events from the Tennessee Civil War Sourcebook. Complete accounts of all the state units that served in the war are searchable by county along with 1860 United States Census data.
The Tennessee Civil War Survey is a project of the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA) and is funded by the American Battlefield Protection Program (ABPP) of the National Park Service. TSLA is a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.
“Learning about the Civil War is fundamental to understanding Tennessee history,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “By linking information from the State Library and Archives with maps, Tennesseans can tour battlefields across the state without leaving their homes.”
Other TSLA materials used in the project include original documents, photos, historic maps and military unit histories by county of origin. The Tennessee Civil War GIS Survey builds on efforts of the Tennessee Civil War Preservation Association and the Tennessee Civil War National Heritage Area.
From Shiloh to Stones River, combat during the Civil War struck all parts of Tennessee. In fact, only the state of Virginia was the site of more battles. As a result, many Tennesseans have family ties to those who fought with either the Union or Confederate troops.
For those interested in learning about their ancestors who fought in the Civil War, the Tennessee State Library and Archives (TSLA) is here to help. TSLA will host the next workshop in its public services series, titled “Civil War Ancestors: Old Records & New Tricks,” on Saturday, April 16 from 9 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.
Manuscript archivists Darla Brock and Dr. Tom Kanon will explain how to trace genealogies and give specific tips on researching with Civil War materials. In addition to the archivists’ first-rate instruction, attendees will have access to the vast TSLA resources including Civil War databases and high-quality genealogy tools.
TSLA is a division of the Office of the Secretary of State.
“The State Library and Archives is providing another wonderful opportunity to learn about state history with its free seminar series,” said Secretary of State Tre Hargett. “You never know what interesting things you may learn about your family while exploring the archives.”
The workshop will be held in the auditorium of the TSLA building, which is located at 403 Seventh Avenue North in downtown Nashville, next to the State Capitol.
The workshop is free, but due to limited seating in the auditorium, advance registration is required. Please call 615-741-2764 or email@example.com to save a seat for the workshop.
Representatives from the Tennessee State Library and Archives and the Tennessee State Museum will be in Ashland City April 1 to record and digitize Civil War memorabilia owned by local residents for a new exhibit.
Archivists will be at the Cheatham County Public Library, 188 County Services Drive in Ashland City, from 9:30 a.m. until 2:00 p.m. that day. During that time, they invite area residents to bring in photographs, documents and other artifacts related to the Civil War.
The archivists will scan or take digital photographs of the materials, some of which will be featured in an upcoming exhibit titled, “Looking Back: The Civil War in Tennessee.” The archivists will not actually take possession of the items from their owners.
Individuals may call (615) 253-3470 or e-mail firstname.lastname@example.org to schedule a reservation with the archivists. Reservation forms and available times may be found on the State Library and Archives’ section of the Office of the Secretary of State’s web site at:http://tn.gov/tsla/cwtn/events.htm
“This is an important project for the Tennessee State Library and Archives,” Secretary of State Tre Hargett said. “The Civil War was a major event in our state’s history, so we need to take appropriate steps to make sure these treasures are properly preserved for future generations.”
Attendees at the event will receive copies of the digital photographs and tips on how to preserve their Civil War memorabilia.
Archivists plan to visit all 95 of Tennessee’s counties in search of material for the exhibit, which will commemorate the Civil War’s 150thanniversary.
Media coverage of the archiving work is encouraged.
There is a new exhibit installed at the Historic Carnton Plantation (Franklin) called Remembering Our Bold Defenders: Civil War Veterans. The exhibit runs from March 1 – October 1, 2011.
About 3 million soldiers fought in the American Civil War from 1861-1865; about 2.2 million for the Union and 850,000 for the Confederacy. When the war was over there were about 2.4 million veterans who returned home. Many of these men lived 50-60 years after the war.
The veterans exhibit is a small but classy display of roughly 15 primary items, mostly buttons and badges, as well as some pictures of Civil War veterans and objects. By far, the most interesting object is the Franklin 1914 (50th Anniversary) Register List that was signed personally by roughly 110 soldiers, most of whom were Confederate.
There are also two original uniforms on display.
No photography is permitted and it only takes about 15-20 minutes to peruse the exhibit.
