LOST 2006-2007

We’ve done our best to live on this island. Some of us have come to accept we may never leave it. Not all of us have survived since the crash. But there is new life, too, and with it, there is hope. We are alive. Please don’t give up on us.

Pern Resources

This is an ongoing collection of links* that should cover a whole range of bits and pieces relating to Dragonriders of Pern and Anne McCaffrey – from interviews to interesting articles!

* I check these regularly, but I cannot vouch for if the domains still exist and, if not, what is currently on them. A lot of resources relating to Pern are from the 90s/early 2000s and liable to be replaced by random hosting spam. EDIT: walks-the-ages has added some excellent comments about the Wayback Machine! (And many thanks for backing the pages up on it.)

The Avett Brothers at KEMBA Live!, Columbus, Ohio, Aug. 20, 2024

The Avett Brothers of 2024 are a band in flux. While the seven-piece touring lineup remains the same, the group is supporting a pop-leaning LP and talks from the stage about working, more than playing, for its audience.

So it went that seven of the nine tracks from 2024’s the Avett Brothers made up nearly one-third of the band’s Aug. 20 outdoor gig on an unseasonably chilly, full-moon night in Columbus, Ohio, at a pretty much sold-out KEMBA Live! The musicians were more emotive vocally and physically than in the past, infusing new songs like “Never Apart (w/Vocal Prelude)” and “Orion’s Belt” with choreographed moves and making what was once organic joy feel contrived.

During these and other new numbers, Seth and Scott Avett struggled to align their harmonies and Joe Kwon’s cello and Tania Elizabeth’s violin were more adult-contemporary orchestral than down-home Americana as Scott Avett kneeled and slapped hands with audience members and Seth Avett struck rock-star poses under a backdrop of gold praying hands, a disco ball and kaleidoscopic lights.

It was nearly 30 minutes into the two-hour show when flashes of yesterday’s Avetts appeared, when the septet lit into Doc Watson’s instrumental “Black Mountain Rag” and Seth Avett’s electric guitar added a rock element to his bandmates’ country drive.

Scott Avett performed “Murder in the City” solo and acoustic and the Avett brothers and bassist Bob Crawford got folksy around one mic on “I Wish I Was.” Elizabeth continued the unplugged theme with her rambunctious solo spot pairing the instrumental “Le Reel Du Pendu” with the vocal-and-fiddle “Les Barres De La Prison” and earning a raucous response from the audience, a large number of whom began streaming out about halfway through the gig.

The vast majority who stuck around as space opened up in the lawn sang lovingly to the balladic “I and Love and You” and lustily to “Kick Drum Heart.”

The four-song encore continued the contours of the main set, beginning with the mindlessness of Toby Keith’s “As Good as I Once Was” by the Avetts/Crawford trio and ending, as virtually every Avetts show does, with the riveting, deeply thoughtful “No Hard Feelings” by the full band.

But even this magical song - which typically leaves Sound Bites in tears - produced only a lump in the throat, summing up an atypically tepid evening with the Avett Brothers.

SD Unified

San Diego Unified School District exploring possible changes to student cell phone policy

As thousands of students in the San Diego Unified School District (SDUSD) head back to class on Monday, it is likely many of them will have their phones close at hand. But possible changes could be on the horizon for the district's cell phone policy for kids in the classroom, according to the Voice of San Diego.

The district's Board of Education is researching the potential harms of using a cell phone in class, but that research is still in the very early stages, according to board member Cody Petterson, who spoke with the Voice of San Diego.

"I've studied focus, and it takes over 20 minutes to re-focus back to where you were if you get off focus and get back on to it," said Elizabeth McGuire, a speech pathologist who has been practicing for more than 20 years. McGuire primarily works with toddlers.

"I do a lot of work with focus, behavior as well. The things that I've noticed from hearing from my colleagues as well, that it's all about the child and if they're able to have it but have it put away so it's just for emergency use, then that's the best," said McGuire.

In June, the Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) approved a ban on cell phones while on campus. The move drew support from Gov. Gavin Newsom, who released a statement after the ban was approved.

"As the Surgeon General affirmed, social media is harming the mental health of our youth. Building on legislation I signed in 2019, I look forward to working with the Legislature to restrict the use of smartphones during the school day. When children and teens are in school, they should be focused on their studies — not their screens."

Gov. Newsom referred to a bill he signed into law more than five years ago, which allowed school districts across California to adopt cell phone bans. It's unclear if SDUSD might consider a similar approach to Los Angeles, but some parents, like Tania Rodriguez, believe that it would be a good approach to keep students focused on learning while in the classroom.

"I think they should have the cell phone, but maybe not while in class," said Rodriguez, a mother of two children who attend school in the Chula Vista Unified School District. However, she does not believe that an all-out ban on cell phones for the entire school day would be wise.

"That's a tough one ... just on campus, that's a stretch. I can understand while in class, but on campus that's a stretch," said Rodriguez.

NBC 7 reached out to SDUSD for comment on possible changes being considered to the school cell phone policy. We are still waiting to hear back. *Reposted article from NBC 7 by Adonis Albright on August 11, 2024

Falta de concentración

Elizabeth Ortiz

“Nada". Palabra breve, pero cargada de significado oculto. Era la tercera vez que Tania me respondía lo mismo. La sentí diferente desde que llegamos.

—Te digo que no es nada, cariño, ya sabes… el trabajo —dijo al fin.

—Si no te gusta, ¿por qué no lo dejas?

—Gano bien, no podría vivir con menos.

Me preguntaba que significaba “ganar bien” para Tania. Era muy sexy, sin duda, pero odiaba su gusto por los zapatos baratos. ¿Cómo era posible que me distrajera con una estupidez como los zapatos en lugar de disfrutar su cuerpo, su feminidad y su maestría para hacerme sentir bien? Quizá era la culpa. Desde que me casé no había estado con ninguna otra mujer.

—¿Estás preocupado? —me preguntó.

—Ya sabes… el trabajo, también —mentí.

—¿En serio?

La tomé en mis brazos para cortar la conversación. Estaba dispuesto a disfrutarla y sentir de nuevo el palpitar de mi virilidad que se había esfumado hacía mucho tiempo de mi recámara. Ahora habitaban ahí los fantasmas de mis suegros, evaluando si hacíamos bien la tarea, mientras la palabra “nieto” retumbaba por todos lados.

Cuando estaba con Tania, además de disfrutar del placer, me sentía mimado. Tenía curiosidad por saber qué pensaría acerca de que viviéramos juntos. Se lo había preguntado antes y no respondió. Ella no sabía que estaba casado. Le pregunté nuevamente.

—Todos dicen lo mismo —contestó mirando el techo.

—Eres especial —le dije acariciándole el cabello y deslizando mi mano por su cuello para después recorrer su espalda. Una cosa llevó a la otra haciéndome explotar otra vez.

La idea de mudarme con Tania era una mera fantasía. Me gustaba mi estilo de vida y dejar a Silvia significaba dejar de trabajar en la empresa de su padre. Mi esposa era una mujer llena de atributos, pero yo ya no sabía lo que sentía por ella. Solo quería de dejar de sentirme como un prisionero.

Tania miró el reloj y se levantó de la cama. Se vistió rápidamente y se despidió dándome un beso.

—¿Nos vemos el jueves? —pregunté.

—Revisaré mi agenda.

Tomó su dinero y salió de la habitación del hotel.

Sir Mohamed Muktar Jama Farah CBE OLY (born Hussein Abdi Kahin; March 23, 1983) is a British long-distance runner. His ten global championship gold medals make him the most successful male track distance runner ever, and he is the most successful British track athlete in modern Olympic Games history.

He is the 2012 and 2016 Olympic gold medallist in both the 5,000 m and 10,000 m. He is the second athlete, to win both the 5,000 m and 10,000 m titles at successive Olympic Games. He completed the ‘distance double’ at the 2013 and 2015 World Championships in Athletics. After finishing second in the 10,000 meters at the 2011 World Championships, he had an unbroken streak of ten global final wins. The streak ended in his final championship track race, when he finished second in the 2017 5,000-meter final.

He mostly competed for over 5,000 m and 10,000 m but has run competitively from 1,500 m to the marathon. In 2017, he indicated his intention to switch wholly to road racing following victory at his final track race, the 2017 IAAF Diamond League 5,000 m final. He won the 2018 Chicago Marathon in a time of 2:05:11, a European record.

Born in present-day Somaliland, was trafficked from Djibouti to London, at the age of nine where he was forced into child labor. He adopted the name, becoming a British citizen. He is the European record holder for the 10,000 m, half marathon, marathon, and two miles, the British record holder for the 5,000 m, the British indoor record holder for the 3,000 m, and the current world record holder for the one hour run and indoor world record holder for the two miles.

He was the first British athlete to win two gold medals at the same world championships. He has won the European Athlete of the Year award and the British Athletics Writers Association British Athlete of the Year award more than any other athlete, three times and six times. In 2017, he won the BBC Sports Personality of the Year. He was appointed Commander of the Order of the British Empire and was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II.

He married Tania Nell (2011). He has a stepdaughter, twin daughters, and a son. #africanhistory365 #africanexcellence
