A Minor Reading Series is kicking back into gear just as the world needs it most with two inimitable talents. Meghan Lamb is traveling through Portland on tour in support of her new highly acclaimed work, Silk Flowers. Prolific local star Douglas W. Milliken has emerged from apple season ready to make us uncomfortable. It’s going to be a beautiful night. Begins at 8. Suggested donation $5. Many thanks to the Apohadion Theater.
“Silk Flowers is incisive, intimate, ethereal yet physical, capturing the disconnect between lovers, a disconnect that appears to travel deep into each one of them and then manifest in mysterious, unbidden ways. Sharply written, structured in an almost unsettling his/hers dichotomy, this is a novel that will make the reader ponder the distances between and within.” -Dao Strom
“I believe Doug Milliken has a firm grasp of life’s little traumas. He takes his chunk of loving meat and hangs it from a butcher’s hook on display for the world to read.”
On March 7, 2012 just a few minutes after midnight UT time the active region (AR11429) unleashed two strong X-class flare. The first, X5.4-class, showed a very bright flare, the second right after, X1-class, hurled a second coronal mass ejection into Space. Also seen can be a wave going across the Sun at approx. 1,000,000 mph - also known as a Solar Tsunami. Here are various views of this events over a couple of hours, including some close-up views of the Sunspot 1429. Credit: NASA SDO & Dr. A. Kosovichev, HMI
The active region (AR 1429), the source of many strong flares and geomagnetic storms in the beginning of March 2012, has completed its journey around the Sun and is peaking over the Eastern limb of the Sun. But it is not nearly the behemoth it was four weeks ago. The view through the HMI telescope shows the movement and development of this sunspot in early March and shows how this region is returning the end of March. The AIA 171 angstrom view shows the coronal loops, arcs extending off the Sun where plasma moves along magnetic field lines. This video also includes a view of early and late March 2012 activities. As the saying goes - "A trip around the Sun can make you decay...".
Background: Though the lyrics here seem to refer to this song as an old English song. I found some lyrics for a Scottish version called Tae the Begging I Will Go.

Painted three more bedrooms. Spent more money at Walmart and Lowe’s and Home Depot. Exhausted. While painting Annie’s room we laughed about the GHOST EYE* and about how both girls will react when they see their rooms. Annie will do the Annie Face; Katie Beth will say “I liiiiiiike it!!!!!” in her sweet shy voice. We know them well.
*About that Ghost Eye? Annie has made friends with a little boy who lives across the street. A little boy who has been in our house before, he said. Been… in our house… where… he… saw… in the attic…. a GHOST. EYE. Awesome insight into how best to freak Annie out... Ghost eyes are flippin’ terrifying.
My almost-70-year-old parents came over to help today. They removed the cedar shingles from Annie’s room and bless my moms heart, she filled in a zillion nail holes and my dad carted sixteen tons of cedar shingles down the stairs in 172 trips. Among other things they found to do all day long. I could NOT make it without them.
I just realized with great angst that we never took a “before” picture of Annie’s cedar-shingle-paneled room. I don’t know how we missed that, but her room was all “inside of a medieval castle” theme. Or maybe “inside of a tree house?” Either way, the cedar shingles had to go.
Oh, did I forget to mention that I was going with a Cheap Taco Stand theme for her bedroom? That’s probably because it wasn’t quite the look I was going for.
Yeah, as I was sitting at El Lugar yesterday waiting for them to bring out our Number Sevens, I couldn’t help but notice the eye-blistering shade of Guadalajara Turquoise on the walls (it’s one of Ralph Lauren’s colors… probably), and had this sinking feeling that I’VE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE.
I’ve heard rumors that you can see the turquoise paint glowing so loudly you can almost hear it, all the way out her bedroom window clear to Loop 323 like it’s the Springfield Nuclear Power Plant.
I was, shall we say… concerned, maybe a tad dismayed, but not so much so that I was willing to pick a new color and redo the whole thing; I have five bedrooms to paint, for Pete’s sake, and ain’t nobody got time for that. Assaulting Stimulating children with visual pain stimulation is good for children. I mean, I feel sure it is. Like jolts of electricity to their visual cortex or something; that’s got to be good, right?
Sherwin-Williams calls it “Mariner,” which doesn’t sound Mexican at ALL. Sort of deceptive if you ask me.
Katie Beth is slowing my roll by showing me Every. Last. Trinket she comes across. Look mama! Look! I found this plastic ring I got in my Valentines’ Day goody bag in third grade! Or was it second grade? Look! Mama look!
Annie is singing and dancing her belongings into the trailer one Barbie shoe at a time, because a trailer makes a great stage and she IS a singer and pretty much knows everything there is to know about dancing. But not so much about hard work. Serenity now.
Why is it every time I move into a house there are 5,000 wire hangers left behind by the previous owners? And this, of course, after I have thrown away 5,000 wire hangers of my own. But on laundry day there is nary a hanger to be found. It’s a mystery.
Falling into bed at midnight again. Hubby moved our bed from the den where we had been camping out into our newly carpeted bedroom while I was in the shower, bless his heart, so night five = first night in our new room.
I love my life, my room, and my house, and I’m so thankful that God brought all this together for me.

Uber won a legal bid on Tuesday to restore its operating licence in London after a judge overturned an earlier decision and granted the ride-hailing app a 15-month permit.
The capital's transport authority stripped the American firm of its licence last September amid safety concerns, but Uber appealed the decision and was allowed to continue operating while the case was heard.
At a hearing, its lawyers convinced England's chief magistrate that it had mended its ways with a raft of reforms.
"It has provided evidence to this court that it is now a fit and proper person," Judge Emma Arbuthnot wrote in a 13-page ruling granting the new licence.
However, the judge agreed with transport officials' decision to block the renewal last year, noting "a rather gung-ho attitude of those running the business in the very recent past".
She added: "The attitude of the previous managers... appeared to me on the evidence to be that of grow the business come what may."
But Arbuthnot said she had considered "the new governance arrangements" put in place and was persuaded that a shorter 15-month licence term would allow Transport for London (TfL), the authority, to judge Uber's changes.
TfL's concerns included how it obtained drivers' medical certificates and how criminal record checks were carried out.
Measures adopted include the appointment of new non-executive directors, limits to driver hours, a new telephone support line, and better insurance policies, it said.
"We accept TfL's decision in September was the right decision on the evidence at the time," Uber's lawyer Tom de la Mare told the judge.
"Uber's new directors threw its old bosses under the bus today, and persuaded a judge that the gig economy giant has turned a corner for good," said its campaigner Eoin Dubsky.
"Uber is still a shady corporation and shouldn't have been granted a new licence until it can show drivers are treated fairly."
"Cab drivers are going to be hearing this in absolute disbelief," he told AFP outside the court, calling the ruling "a travesty".
In a separate case, Uber is also appealing against an employment court ruling that would give its drivers the right to paid holidays and the national minimum wage.
The London licence has been one of a number of headaches for Uber and its new chief executive Dara Khosrowshahi, who took over last August after founder Travis Kalanick was ousted following a series of scandals.
Its self-driving car programme in the United States suffered a blow with a deadly accident in March.
Uber also faces being banned in Turkey after President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said earlier this month that the app was "finished", following an intense lobbying campaign from Istanbul taxi drivers.

With the tragic events of last week that have shaken our nation to its core, it’s important for us to not dwell on the horror but to look beyond and find a way to heal this great nation.
As you know, I’m an immigrant to this land, in the religious minority, where the opportunities for success, growth and freedom, personal and religious, were many. I spoke virtually no English when I arrived, and through years of schooling and hard work, I’ve mastered the language, mastered a business and honed my passion for music, photography, technology and the web. Only here, in this place, were all those things possible.
The Muslim community of Pittsburgh has donated over $200,000 to their Jewish friends to help bury and rebuild the lives of the grieving Jews. They’ve pledged to walk with them, literally, to their synagogues, to the grocery store and to hold their hands when they are fearful. That is love.
I know that we will go from this darkness back into the light. We can and we will. It begins with each and every one of us. Here’s to a future that is brighter than ever.
