In yesterday's highly anticipated matchup between top-ranked River Hill and No. 5 Old Mill, neither team flinched or showed any weaknesses as they traded leads early in the night.
The Patriots, however, showed the type of resilience that will make them one of the Class 4A-3A teams to beat by winning five of the last six matches for a 31-24 victory. Old Mill improved to 13-1 and is developing into the type of team that could challenge for its 11th overall state title.
"It was a great match that went back and forth," said Old Mill coach Dan Youngblood. "We took advantage of some good matchups. Our kids came up big tonight."
Twin brothers Thomas and Michael Sillaman gave the Patriots a 7-0 lead with dominating performances at 160 and 171 pounds, respectively.
The Hawks then got back into the match when Eric Kohr (189) improved to 20-1 this season with a hard-fought 7-3 victory over Tyrone Bryant at 189 and a forfeit at 215. Aaron Hawkins, last year's Anne Arundel County and Class 4A-3A East champion, regained the lead for Old Mill when he secured three late points in a 4-0 victory over Brendan Barnes at 285.
"We finally came together as a team," Hawkins said. "Everyone did their part and we went out there and beat them."
Colin Dupreay overcame a second-period leg injury and gutted out an 8-2 victory over Isa Mohammed at 103 and a 13-9 Old Mill lead. It was Mohammed's second loss of the season.
Scott Mantua answered for River Hill with a first-period pin over Damian Sheldon and a two-point Hawks lead with seven matches to go. Mantua is 23-0 with 15 pins this season.
"It was a very competitive and a good match," River Hill coach Brandon Lauer said.

A well-thought out and executed Public Relations plan can go a long way toward helping a business reach more clients, establish the desired perception of their business, drive traffic to their website and generate more sales. But a consistent and strategic plan is much more than sending out a press release occasionally and hoping for the best. A good plan requires in-depth planning, creative thinking, and even an eye on trends and industry changes.
Unfortunately many entrepreneurs shy away from any in-depth planning because the thought of creating such a long-term project sounds too overwhelming, and also like too much work! Instead, they prefer a more short-term “go with the flow” kind of attitude when it comes to public relations, which can ultimately hurt their chances for business growth. If you are still not convinced, here are five reasons why a consistent Public Relations strategy is beneficial for your business.
Keeps Your Business in the Forefront of People’s Minds: Public relations is just that; relating to the public. Like I have mentioned before, you could have the most amazing presentation/product/service is the world, but it doesn’t mean much if no one has heard of you… or hasn’t heard from you in a very long time. “Out of sight out of mind” is another strong reason entrepreneurs need a consistent process that keeps their name in front of prospective clients, including things like press releases, joint ventures, and guest blogging opportunities that announce newsworthy information.
Creates Structure: Imagine building a house, but by starting first on the attic, then maybe the bathroom and then moving to the landscaping. You’d end up with not only an “interesting” house, but an unstable one as well. A consistent plan is like the foundation of your house/business. All things successful will not only be built upon a strong foundation, but done in an order that makes $en$e.
Creates Organization: Having a proven plan of attack when it comes to public relations also helps prevent speakers and coaches from falling into the “flying by the seat of their pants” trap by removing the guesswork work out of coming up with a new plan each month. A well thought out plan also opens up the possibilities of trying new marketing tactics; ones that may not have been explored before. Having a plan in place can relieve business owners of the panic of suddenly realizing they’ve done absolutely nothing for Public Relations in MONTHS, and allows the head-space and time needed to get creative. Depending on whether or not you market locally, additional tactics can also include things like a ribbon cutting ceremony for your business or sponsoring an offline event, sponsoring an online event, discovering new opportunities for guest speaking or training, prospecting for media interviews and enhanced social media efforts.
Is a Guide: A consistent strategy is much like a road map for success. If business was like hacking through the jungle (which it often is) having a plan that is implemented on a consistent basis is like the tour guide who keeps you from stumbling into quicksand.
Provides Credibility: It allows entrepreneurs to nurture and guide the public’s perception of their business or brand. If potential (or even current) clients can visibly see signs of a business’ PR online, that business will instantly gain credibility points. Having that visible presence assures those who want to purchase products or services that your business is not some fly-by-night or “one-and-done” company.
If you are one of those business professionals who shy away from any sort of consistent methods, the five benefits above should be a clear indicator that it’s time to rethink your tactics. Take the time to develop a detailed task list and timetable for your plan so you can implement your tactics as smoothly and efficiently as possible.
If you are stumped on how to move forward with your new public relations strategy and plan, we can help!

The situation that you are dealing with is your God. This is where experience comes from, this is how you learn – and unlearn.
This morning’s story in Chennai Times on the Tamil star Simbu (Silambarasan) only reiterated this perspective. Simbu confessed to TOI’s Janani Karthik: “I have had no (film) release for the past two years. But personally, in the last two years, I have learnt a lot about Life. I have had personal experiences that have tried me… I might have been born with a silver spoon, but I went through a lot. I lost everything. I lost films, I lost money; it hurts when I go and ask for money from my mother for my daily expenses. When I lost money and films, I thought that, at least, I have someone who loves me, who I was in love with too, by my side. But now, the girl (Hansika) also has gone. Throughout that period, I thought that I would get married one day, have children of my own… But that too is not happening now. It was when I lost everything in Life, that I realized that I have only my breath with me. I am still alive, and I believe that I am alive for a purpose on this earth…” That’s a very evolved Simbu talking there. And that’s what Life’s situations do to you.
You, me, everyone – all of us, are a product of the time we go through. Our situations mold us. They make us the people that we are now. And they will further make us who will be in the future. So, in effect, in reality, each situation is God. To be sure, situations are just events, mere happenings, in Life. You can go on and label them as good, bad, testing, whatever, but you can’t change a situation. Only time can. In going through any situation, you can learn – or unlearn – from it or you can resist it and so suffer. When you accept a situation and learn from it, you evolve. It is as simple as that. So, to me, God is not in a temple or a mosque or a church. The God we seek is right in us, with us, in each situation we experience in Life.
When you reach this state of understanding of Life, you are unmoved by the situations. Nothing can rattle you anymore. You remain anchored in your inner peace. You have then realized that everything is transient and impermanent. Why worry about anything that will go away from you certainly some day? Without exception, each of us has to go – empty handed. So, the best way to live is to live intelligently – learning from each experience and going with the flow of Life!

This suave mauve from Down Under is difficult to describe and easy to love!
Robert Oster is an employee favorite here at Anderson Pens. With a huge assortment of ink, there’s a color for everyone. Plumb Nut is a mauve coral pink that is a unique and pleasant color. Robert Oster ink comes in a 50ml round and tall plastic bottle. A label on the cap is hand-swabbed, allowing you to easily see which color is inside. This review was done with a Pilot Prera F, Platinum 3776 B and on Rhodia blank No.18 paper.
Plumb Nut is a high-shading ink, and has a similar appearance in a fine and broad nib. The ink has a general mauve appearance, but it’s hard to put your finger on the color. At its lightest, the ink is a light rose pink. From there, it shades to a rouge salmon color. The darkest the ink gets is a rich rosewood color. The ink is very matte, and didn’t display any sheen.
Robert Oster inks almost always perform well, and Plumb Nut is no exception. The ink had good flow with no feathering or bleedthrough. Plumb Nut is a low saturation ink with good dry times at 15-25 seconds. While the ink didn’t have any water resistance, clean up was easy.
I didn’t think I would like a pink ink as much as I liked Plumb Nut. It is an intriguing color that is easy on the eyes – and easily legible. While it isn’t appropriate for all workplaces, it’s a nice color for all your other writing needs.

Heading into their Junior seasons, there are some highly ranked 2020 prospects who need to prove one thing or another this season. As we start to look at the high school season ahead, here are some things that we’re looking for out of the Junior class.
McCracken County’s Jackson Sivills had a monster AAU season and has added more offers than the rest of the class has combined. Heading into the high school year, Sivills is going to have to deal with being the main offensive option for the Mustangs for the first time. Cameron Cartwright and Nathan Stonecipher combined for about 30 points per game and they’re gone this year. This summer, McCracken struggled to score outside of Sivills and sophomore Noah Dumas. For McCracken to get back to Rupp, Sivills is going to have to prove he can shoulder the majority of the scoring load.
Madisonville-North Hopkins Center Ksuan Casey needs to show that he can play with pace. The Maroons have the personnel to play as fast as Hopkinsville or Christian County but Ksuan can’t go that pace for long. Casey is super skilled and has a high basketball IQ but has struggled to play consistently or very long with the type of pace seen in the second region. Madisonville should be a contender to win the second but they need their star center on the floor and dominating in the post.
Bardstown’s JJ Traynor has to prove that his potential is turning into production. Looking at raw ability and physical traits, JJ could be the best college prospect in the class. But Traynor only averaged 6 points and 6 rebounds as a sophomore last year. As long and athletic as JJ is at 6’8, he should average a double-double this season and more than double his averages from a season ago.
Two of the most talented Juniors in the state, Amari Taylor and Howard Fleming both have to show they can stay healthy. Amari missed most of his sophomore season at Tates Creek with a broken wrist and Howard missed most of the AAU season with a shoulder injury. Both are highly talented kids with bright futures. They just need a strong, healthy Junior campaign to show everyone that they are pack to their peak performance.
John Hardin’s Alex Matthews and Trevon Harris need to show everyone that there is life at John Hardin after Mickey Pearson and Malik Wright. Matthews averaged a double-double last season in a strong sophomore season but now Pearson and Wright have graduated and Alex and Trevon need to prove they can step up and fill the void left by graduation.
Lincoln County’s Junior big man Riley Bodner has to show he can be an impact player in the 12th region. Bodner started nearly every game last season but he would quickly find his way to the bench and stay there for long stretches. There aren’t many true post players in the 12th and even fewer 6’8 kids. If Bodner has improved enough, he could be the reason Lincoln County makes a push back towards the top of the 12th region.
Mercer County has a D1 sized hole on their roster after Trevon Faulkner finished his career as a 5 year starter and is now at NKU. Enter Kaelin Drakeford. Up to this point, Kaelin has been a really good role player for the Titans but this should be his time to step up and become a top player in the region. The 6’4 wing should have plenty of opportunity to show he has what it takes to be one of the best players in the region.
Two Junior big men have plenty to prove after big summers. Lincoln Bush enrolled at Clark County after recently being ranked as a top 12 player in the state by Rick Bolus. Bush was primarily a JV player at Frederick Douglass last season and should have a chance to start at Clark County this year. Bush’s AAU teammate Joe Meador of Franklin County only saw the floor in one varsity game last season. Meador is crazy long and athletic and was named an all-star at the Bolus camp this summer. The time has come for Bush and Meador to show they can compete and start to climb the 2020 rankings.

History begins from the time when myth and reality become one.
The first inhabitants of Rhodes are believed to be the Telcshines where the island received its name Telchinis. Later on came the Iliades, sons of the god Ilios (Apollo) and the nymph Rhodes from where the island received its present name. �he Iliades were followed by the Cares, the Phoenicians, and the Minoans from Minoan Crete after the destruction of the Minoan civilization from the eruption of the volcano of Thira. Around the year 1200 B.C. the Dorians came to the island.
In 1100 B.C. three city-states took shape on the island, Ialisos, Kamiros, and Lindos. Each city-state has its own independent government. The region of Southern Rhodes belonged to the city-state of Lindos and the history of the region is related to the history of Lindos. There were seven (7) ancient demes and among those was the Demos Pedieon on the beach near the village Gennadi. The Demos Pedieon was one of the strongest coastal demes of the state during the Archaic Period (7th and 6th centuries B.C.).
In 42 B.C. the Rhodians refused to help the Roman general Cassius against his enemies, and Cassius enraged, occupied and pilfered the city, its municipalities and communities. Cassius transferred more than 3000 works of art to Rome.
In 1309 the Knights of Saint John of Jerusalem, establish themselves in Rhodes and from then are called the Knights of Rhodes. In the region of Southern Rhodes, were five(5) fortresses and two(2) castles. The Knights remained in Rhodes for 231 years (1309-1522).
On the 1st of January in the year 1523 the Turks with Souleiman the Magnificent occupy the island and the very next day flagship "Santa Maria" and the other ships of the Knights, along with 4000 to 5000 Rhodians leave the island of Rhodes heading for Malta, as the island becomes enslaved for many years.
In 1912 the Italians occupy the island. The economic and cultural development are rekindled.

I started my own solo law practice because I am committed to providing affordable estate planning and tax services to individuals, families, and businesses. I have nearly a decade of experience representing government agencies and working for clients interacting with taxing authorities.
I began my legal career with the Washington State Attorney General’s Office, representing the Washington State Department of Health in litigation. After obtaining a graduate degree in tax law, I worked as an administrative law judge with the Washington State Department of Revenue. In that role, I decided a wide range of Washington State tax law issues that had been appealed by taxpayers.
After working for the State, I spent nearly five years working as a state and local tax consultant at a large accounting firm. There, I helped individuals, businesses, and government entities navigate the complexities of the taxing regimes of states, counties, and cities across the United States.
When not working or spending time with my family, I enjoy playing music and soccer.

In Hull And Mistakenly Filled Up With The Wrong Fuel in your car?
Our Fully Licensed Technicians are locally based in Hull, and can be with you in 30 minutes.
A social worker in Hull was on his way to a meeting. ‘Oh my word by Jove I’ve had a rotten bit of luck. Petrol I’ve put in it just like my wife’s. Except I’m in my Renault Laguna diesel. ‘ It’s not often that we come to rescue a Renault Laguna owner however we can help anyone. The car, and a nice car it was, was drained of the petrol and refilled with diesel. ‘Good lord you gentlemen are the bees knees’. With that our technician had carried out a fuel drain and put the correct fuel in. ‘Give the pencils out tomorrow!’ said the social worker. From which decade we are not sure but we sure give 100% to help everyone.
A hairdresser in Hull was going out to his friend’s birthday party and his wife was joining him later. In a hurry to get the first round in he had stopped for fuel in his Kia Optima and ‘blast I’d gone to a different garage and the pumps were out of order except for one and in my haste I used that one. I’ve filled it up now. Right to the top like I always do. I started it and it sounded like a bag of spanners. That’s when I saw the colour of the pump nozzle. Green. Diesel is black and I knew then that it had all gone horribly wrong’. Our technician was quickly on the scene and draining the fuel out and replacing the tank of petrol with diesel for his Kia Optima. It can be an easy mistake to make but we are here to make a wrong fuel recovery. The hairdresser was soon on his way to the party again.
A gym instructor was driving to her second shift in Hull. She phoned us from the service station on Sutton Road after she had broken down. ‘Get me going again it’s bottomed’ she exclaimed. Following a lengthy chat with our adviser we ascertained that her Seat Leon was full of diesel instead of petrol so the had contaminated fuel. Our fuel technician carried out a fuel drain. We’re always glad to be of help, whether you’ve put petrol in diesel or diesel in petrol we are always here on the end of the phone.
Our call centre took a call in the early hours of one Sunday morning from at group of girls who were stuck at a motorway service station near to Hull. whilst on a return journey back from a night out. After determining their exact location, vehicle make and model, one of our technicians was soon onsite to resolve the wrong fuel mix up. The driver had put into the car around 35 litres of petrol in diesel and explained to our technician how she put the wrong fuel in. Our technician completed a full fuel drain and fuel recovery along with correct fuel top up and engine flush. Wrong Fuel Help will always arrive around the clock 24 hours a day, our priority is tailored to the customers needs and requirements when they wrong fuel with petrol in diesel or diesel in petrol.
It was early on a Sunday morning a choir on their way to a Church gathering in Hull called us as they had mistakenly put Petrol into the minibus instead of Diesel Fuel. Our 24/7 call centre confirmed their exact location, vehicle type and amount of Wrong Fuel that had put into the vehicle before advising them that a Wrong Fuel Help would be with them in 30 minutes. Our fuel technician arrived to the location and completed a full fuel drain, flushed the injection system and topped up with the correct fuel so that they could get back on the road quickly and make the Sunday morning service.
So if you’re in Hull, our local friendly technicians are always on hand should you have a wrong fuel problem.

Can navicular medial & middle cuneiform arthrodeses (28737) be billed twice?
Can 28737 (Arthrodesis, with tendon lengthening and advancement, midtarsal, tarsal navicular-cuneiform (eg, Miller type) be billed x 2?
Left navicular medial cuneiform arthrodesis and left navicular middle cuneiform arthrodesis was done in addition to left 2nd & 3rd TMT arthrodesis (28730).
I see that 28730 is for "multiple" but not 28737. Provider has billed 28737 and 28737-59 and 28737-59 has denied. Just want to make sure this should only be billed once before trying to appeal.
Any help is greatly appreciated as always!
28737 has a MUE of "1" with an MAI of "2", so this can only be billed once per day. I would also double check that 28737 is supported. If arthrodesis alone was performed w/o tendon lengthening and advancement then this would be coded to 28730.

Trump’s original apprentice joins a chorus of alarmed doctors and Washingtonians in declaring the president unfit for office.
If Donald Trump’s White House is a reality-TV show, then Omarosa Manigault is its perfect backstabbing villain. Or at least she hoped to be. The former Apprentice contestant scored a spot in the Trump administration thanks in large part to her tireless loyalty to the president, defending his comments in the wake of a deadly white-supremacist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, as “very clear and very decisive,” and frequently acting as a liaison between Trump’s White House and the African-American community. Then came reports that Manigault had been “physically dragged” from the White House grounds. (The official version of events is that she resigned to pursue other opportunities.) Since the moment she left—or was ejected from—the president’s inner circle, Manigault has turned on Trump, dropping dire hints about what she saw and heard there, and slipping into the Big Brother house to proclaim that Trump’s presidency is “going to not be O.K.” She stoked the intrigue with a publishing deal, and now it seems she’s poised to capitalize on one of the juiciest aspects of Trump’s presidency: his questionable mental state.
The question of Trump’s fitness is not an idle concern, nor one that is consigned to the fringe. Earlier this year, a Yale University psychiatry professor—one of over 100 medical professionals who signed a letter expressing their alarm over Trump’s mental state—held a closed-door briefing with several Democrat senators and at least one Republican to give her assessment of Trump’s acuity. Her conclusion was not encouraging. “We feel that the rush of tweeting is an indication of his falling apart under stress,” she told lawmakers, according to Politico. “Trump is going to get worse and will become uncontainable with the pressures of the presidency.” (The White House has repeatedly shrugged off these claims.) Manigault’s insistence on delving back into the minefield may be designed to leverage our collective horror at the idea of a man in decline given access to the nuclear codes. But it’s easy to see why she’s succeeded.

But what if you could take that price down to zero dollars?
Vision To Learn (VTL) is a non-profit organization that offers free eye exams and free prescription eyeglasses to students in low-income communities and Title I schools.
The non-profit, which was founded in 2012, has served more than 92,000 kids in 180 communities across the country from Baltimore to Honolulu.
About 1.5 million U.S. children don’t have the glasses they need to be successful in the classroom or when reading at home, according to VTL.
Moreover, an estimated 95% of first graders who would benefit from glasses don’t have access to them.
Some families simply can’t afford glasses for their kids. But making due without glasses can start a vicious cycle of bad grades, low self-esteem and behavioral problems.
Thankfully, VTL offers a solution!
The process begins with schools screening children to identify students with vision problems.
VTL’s mobile clinic then visits the schools with licensed optometrists and opticians to conduct official eye exams.
Following the exam, the kids get to pick out their frames. Within three weeks, the kids have their new glasses in hand and are ready to learn again.
Remember, these glasses are provided free of cost due to the generosity of VTL’s partners!
The glasses even come with a free one-year, one-time replacement warranty.
If you’d like VTL to visit your child’s school, contact the organization at (800) 485-9196 or by sending a note to [email protected].

It’s been a long wait for the Switch version of Terraria. Even though it was one of the first games confirmed for the system, it still has yet to be released. The good news is that things are finally starting to wrap up.
As detailed in an official update from the developer, an initial Nintendo submission process has been complete. Bugs are currently being ironed out, and thankfully, there aren’t too many of them. The only tasks left to complete are “the final polish” and “QA checks”.
GameSpot has provided a fresh look at the action-RPG Indivisible with 10 minutes of footage. Check out the gameplay below.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has received new b-roll gameplay straight from 505 Games and ArtPlay. Check out the footage below for a look at The Tower of the Twin Dragons.
Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night was finally playable on Switch at PAX East. Unfortunately, impressions haven’t been entirely positive – largely due to performance.
USgamer says Bloodstained felt “choppy and unpolished” on Switch. The site also highlighted “terrible input lag, slowdown, and an inconsistent frame rate”. You can see some footage here.
GameXplain has shared some off-screen footage of Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night from its PAX East 2019 demo. View the gameplay below.
The free-to-play puzzle-strategy-RPG mashup is out today on the Switch eShop. Take a look at some footage in the video below.
Retailers have started to update their listings with the boxart for Indivisible, an upcoming action-RPG for Switch. Check it out above.
Indivisible is slated for release on Switch later this year.
505 Games will publish Gems of War on the Switch eShop, the company has announced. No release date has been specified, but the European store indicates that it could be out as early as next Tuesday.
Gems of War is a free-to-play puzzle-RPG. We have some additional details and a trailer below.

Jonathan Baumbach in the Baumbach Gallery, a guest house dedicated to the paintings of his father, Harold Baumbach.
Housatonic — Jonathan Baumbach was giving directions to his house.
“It’s a long driveway,” he said. He didn’t want me to be confused, especially since the mailbox on the main road says “Grant,” his wife Annette’s last name.
The mention of a long driveway rekindled an old reflex stimulated by the thought, Serious Writers At The End Of Long Driveways. It happens somewhere in the stomach region, where anxiety and adrenaline begin to burn a hole that somehow renders me dingbattish.
I ramble down the back roads slowly, nearly in panic to find a way to write about a family of gifted artists, one generation after another, without penning a fawning ode to success, fame, celebrity. It hits me somewhere near that farm on the Williams River, the one with the scarecrows: I want to know more about the art/fame axis, and what it means to a man whose father, a painter, repelled fame, and whose son, a filmmaker, has it, try or not.
Baumbach, 82, is the man in the middle who says he never quite got there himself, his fame quotient perhaps neutralized by his father’s resistance and his son’s embrace of it. His son Noah Baumbach, the filmmaker, is the only one of the three with a Wikipedia page.
“I haven’t tried to avoid it, but it hasn’t come to my door,” Baumbach said.
Maybe it’s relative. The New York Times reviewed three or four books, but Paris Review didn’t come calling. “That would have been nice,” he told me.
The Brooklyn born father of four is author of 16 books, and known for his “experimental” or “surrealist” fiction. In Babble, for instance, the narrator is a baby. “The only infant hero in American literature,” as Esquire put it.
The Pavillion of Former Wives, a book of short stories, is coming out soon. The Edge published two stories from the book, and will run a few more.
Baumbach also taught writing and literature at colleges over the years, and had tenure at one. He ran the MFA program at Brooklyn College where he had a number of students who are now successful writers. Writers never really retire; he’s contacted Bard College at Simon’s Rock about teaching a writing seminar for serious writing students only — those with manuscripts ready to be honed.
Harold Baumbach painting from his ‘van Gogh’ period.
The driveway wasn’t as long as I had imagined. I manage to hold it together; it appears the reflex has mostly vanished with age. Mr. Baumbach had driven down from the house and was getting out of his Prius when I arrived at the gallery he and Annette, the former New York Times arts editor and his fourth wife, built near the end of the driveway to warehouse and display his father’s paintings. They’ve been coming to the Berkshires for twenty years, and settled here full-time after selling their Brooklyn home.
I had never heard of the painter Harold Baumbach until the Baumbach Gallery, which doubles as a guesthouse, opened last May. Born in 1903, and a close friend of Mark Rothko, Adolf Gottlieb and Milton Avery, Harold Baumbach stayed his own tight course, never veering into Abstract Impressionism like many of his contemporaries.
“He was a difficult man,” Baumbach says.
I tell Baumbach this description of his father makes me think of the artist in Woody Allen’s Hannah and Her Sisters — the one who throws a fit when a nouveau riche pop star wants to coordinate the paintings with décor. Baumbach smiled — he knew exactly the character. Baumbach used to review films for Partisan Review, and has a book of film criticism coming out called Shots in the Dark.
Film is where the Baumbach name got its flashing lights, perhaps something he didn’t know would result, in part, from all the movies he showed a young Noah Baumbach.
“Noah saw The Wild Child when he was three,” Baumbach said. That is the Francois Truffaut’s classic about a pre-adolescent boy who had never had human contact. Then there is the matter of Blue Velvet, shown to a teenage Noah. “Probably inappropriate,” he admits.
Harold Baumbach’s cranky purist rigor may have created a program that sent some messages down the DNA chain. Baumbach’s oldest son, David, is a photographer whose work his father describes as “painterly.” His youngest, Nico, is a film theorist who teaches at Columbia University. Both Noah and Nico have partnered up with accomplished artists, as well. His daughter Nina is a New York state social worker who likes to make comic videos in her spare time.
All four of Baumbach’s children have their grandfather’s work on their walls.
Baumbach gets up from the Victorian settee that came from the Brooklyn house. We head for the basement to get some of his books after I was forced to admit that–and I said I was very ashamed of this–I hadn’t had a chance to read one before the interview. He took this lightly, and reached into a box for a few copies of his fiction. I hold his books — the art he believed in — and I look at the long bookshelf, packed with the works of the exalted, wondering why he didn’t reach the pinnacle he says he fell just short of.
“I lived a reclusive life,” he said. “And my work grew more and more experimental.” He says this swimming out of the mainstream into “metafictional” writing caused, for instance, the Times to largely ignore him.
I stand at the bottom of the basement stairs, looking at Harold Baumbach’s canvases, stacked against each other. I think of the time and mysterious process that went into each one. Most were never properly dated and organized, perhaps part of this self-taught artist’s just-do-the-art paradigm. Some may soon come out of hiding. Lauren Clark, of Lauren Clark Fine Art on Railroad Street, has been out to the Gallery to discuss a show this coming year.
Harold Baumbach’s own father was a Lower East Side upholsterer with “an evil temper.” Jonathan’s mother, Ida, was a schoolteacher who made “most of the money” and lived through her husband in the “wives of painters” tradition, Baumbach says. Harold Baumbach’s disdain of tenure resulted in one-year appointments at various schools like the University of Iowa, where tenure was offered, but refused.
He was “allergic to fashion, even to success,” said his 2002 New York Times obituary. He died at 98.
Harold Baumbach’s father did not want him to be an artist. But he in turn was proud of Jonathan for writing. Jonathan started young, by writing plays. He also painted in his father’s studio alongside him, in the 12 to 15 years before his younger brothers were born. At some point he stopped.
“My father would not have had competition,” he says.
He was also a father figure to those brothers, whom his mother “suckered” him into taking care of. By the time the younger two came along, Harold Baumbach “felt less like fathering.” Despite a mother’s manipulations, the three brothers are close, even with an open wound or two.
Jonathan Baumbach’s mother, Ida, at age 21. Drawing by Harold Baumbach.
Baumbach drives me up to his circa 1850s house. He wants to show me a drawing his father did of his mother when she was 21. The place is relaxed inside; his desk is chaotic. His Standard Poodle, Beau, follows us around. He shows me his son David’s photography, which hangs near family photos. A breathtaking landscape from his father’s “van Gogh period” is in one bedroom. Downstairs I see a dramatic black and white headshot of Baumbach taken some years back. But mostly I see a lot of family photos, a lot of family art. On the fridge: pictures of Baumbach and his children.
I have an unempirical moment there at the fridge, thinking about these three generations of Baumbachs and the other art-blessed families I know, including my own. This desperate need to create can at times feel more like a curse to artists and those around them. The human soul doesn’t mess around, and it can brutalize as it forces its host to stick with the program. But it makes me consider the lighter hand of the artist-parent’s approach that allows the child’s predispositions to unfold the way art must, to go the way of the soul.
Baumbach drives me back to my car. We stand around in record-breaking heat chatting about the weather and our Subarus — he’s a real New Englander now.

The Butler did it! Richelle Cranston becomes a favourite — The Mongrel Punt Become a Patron!
This is not your regular football story. It has very little to do with any on-field heroics or any accolades bestowed on a player by the experts. What it does have to do with is the imagination of a young girl, and a Melbourne player by the name of Richelle Cranston.
My four year old daughter and I didn’t have an AFLW team as the season commenced. Our side, North Melbourne, won’t be entering the competition until 2019. We started watching a few games this year anyway, as I wanted my girl to know that “girls play footy” and really, I wanted to watch some games myself. In effect, she was co-opted into watching them too.
After watching the Carlton-Collingwood season opener (or the first quarter and a half until she fell asleep), she was a little underwhelmed. Still, we had another crack the next day and the game did not disappoint.
In the game between Melbourne and Greater Western Sydney, Richelle Cranston was a star up forward. My daughter let out an excited squeal every time the commentator called her name. I thought it was a little odd, but was happy my daughter actually seemed to be interested.
A few minutes later, Cranston laid a tackle, and her name was mentioned again by the commentators.
“Cranston!” said my daughter excitedly.
By this stage, she was watching, eyes glued to the game. As half time rolled around and the players walked off the ground, I thought it was a good time to see if she was enjoying the game.
“You liking it, kiddo?” I asked.
She paused for a moment before responding.
I was taken aback. My little girl had a favourite player! We talked a bit more about other players. After all the publicity, I thought she’d probably love Daisy Pierce. We talked about the teams and the game. She didn’t appear interested in most of that. She just wanted to talk about Cranston.
The look my daughter gave me was one of bemusement and disappointment; as though I’d asked a ridiculous question and should’ve already known the answer.
Now, you’ll have to excuse me for a moment while I explain. Snazzy is our pet rabbit. He lives downstairs in our house with his girlfriend, Bumbles. They live a happy little life eating greens, practically inhaling their hay and pooping seemingly everywhere. But make no mistake; he is definitely a rabbit, and he couldn’t afford someone to attend to his needs. Anyway, he has me to do that.
She nodded her head and turned back to the TV, munching on her apple as the game recommenced.
Over the course of the next half, Cranston (the player, not the rabbit-butler) continued to establish herself not only as my daughter’s favourite player, but as mine as well. She was tough, bullocking, and looked like she belonged on a football field. She was one of those players that looked as though she relished busting a pack, or tackling an opponent to the ground – certainly the sort of player I like to watch. She finished with three goals to power the Demons to their first win of the season.
I got a bit more of an education as the game continued. Apparently Snazzy is not a great boss, and football is the only thing he allows Cranston to do when she’s not attending to her butler-ing duties. That’s why she’s so good at it, according to my daughter.
The game concluded and more Cranston discussion was held. She now had to return to attend to Snazzy, my daughter informed me. He needed his area tidied and required more hay.
Yes, I saw Cranston. How could you miss her – she was fantastic.
And so, as the Dees were knocked out of the finals by Brooke Lochland’s late goal last weekend, I had to explain to my daughter that Cranston’s season was over. She was a little saddened by this, and took a moment to process that we wouldn’t see her favourite player on TV for a while.
Cranston was named in the All-Australian squad this week; something my daughter didn’t really understand. When I told her that this honour meant she was one of the best players in the league, my daughter looked at me with the same look she did when I initially asked why she liked Cranston so much.
I’m going to have a very hard time swaying my little one over to the North Melbourne AFLW team next season. She has her heart set on cheering for Cranston again.
Congratulations, Richelle Cranston. You’ve made yourself the favourite player of a four year old - even if it is largely for your work as her rabbit’s butler.

Many studies have investigated the influence of breastfeeding on child health. It is well known that breastfeeding confers short-term benefits for child health by reducing mortality and morbidity from infectious diseases. A WHO report suggests a lower long-term morbidity from gastrointestinal and allergic diseases in infants who were exclusively breastfed for 6 months in comparison to non-breastfed children. Based on these data, UNICEF and WHO current recommendations are "every infant should be exclusively breastfed for the first six months of life, with continued breastfeeding for up to two years or longer". While the evidence base for the protective effects of breast feeding on early infectious illnesses is strong this is not the case for many non-communicable diseases, where several systematic reviews have reached very different conclusions.
Human breast milk (BM) is the main source of nutrition for a newborn, and an important factor facilitating newborn adaption to the extra-uterine environment. The major constituents of the milk are proteins, fatty acids, carbohydrates, minerals, and vitamins. It also provides bioactive factors influencing the infant’s immune maturation, physical and cognitive development and moderation of the gut microbiota. Infants’ immune ontogeny is influenced by maternal immunity via the placenta and breast milk. It is clear that nutritional influences are critical to both short and long-term health outcomes in the developing child, particularly during the first year of life.
By understanding BM composition and its determinants, we can identify new therapeutic or environment modifiable targets to influence metabolic and immune programming in early life in order to improve short and long-term health.
Today, there is no clear understanding of the pathways linking the intervention, its effect on BM composition and health outcomes.
This issue is aimed at clarifying this with the goal of proposing better strategies to improve health.

I am reminded of the old Abbott and Costello routine, "Who's on First." In the routine, who's on first is a declarative statement, not a question: Who is the name of the first baseman. In the same vein, in my title for this blog what provides clarity is a declarative statement, not a question. Let me explain.
I recently read a book review by Mike Richman of the book, Clarity First, by Karen Martin. The thesis of the book is that clarity of purpose, priorities, process, performance, and problem solving are the foundation of exceptional organizational performance. Without this clarity there is ambiguity in the organization. And ambiguity leads to employee disengagement and frustration, dissatisfied customers, poor or no goal setting, and inefficient and ineffective operations. While ambiguity causes problems, it can also cause an inappropriate level of comfort when there is fear of change rather than an environment that embraces change. Clarity provides focus for desired or needed change and establishes the basis for making change happen.
What are your key strategic opportunities?
What are your key work systems (the mechanisms for accomplishing the work of the organization)?
What are your organization's key strategic objectives and timetable for achieving them?
What are your key workforce plans to support your short- and longer-term strategic objectives and action plans?
The answers to these questions provide the organizational clarity that allows the organization to make progress, allows the organization to successfully execute change processes, allows the people of the organization to see how they can contribute to its future, and therefore allows the organization to strive toward its vision.
How do you evaluate the responses to these what questions? Both organizations using the Criteria and Baldrige examiners assessing an application from an organization should use the answers to these questions to look for organizational alignment and integration. Do the answers provide clarity or ambiguity? Do the answers present a holistic image of the organization's priorities and direction or do they represent misalignment and a picture of a chaotic organization? Furthermore, do the answers to the "How" process questions align with the priorities and directions set in the answers to the "What" questions?
All the process specificity in the world is meaningless if the processes do not align with priorities and direction. Take for example the photographic film industry. All the processes for making exceptional black and white film, did not help meet the challenges of the digital revolution. Companies that saw the opportunities in digital photography, set strategic objectives to be at the forefront and had people plans that would give them the skills to embrace digital transformation. Those companies survived the chaos that plagued the companies that kept their focus on making outstanding and ever improving film products.
How well does your organization answer the "What" questions? If well, how well do you align your processes to the answers to the "what" questions? Is there clarity in your organization?
Thank you for this insightful article emphasizing the importance and the role of "What" questions in the criteria.
Wooooooow! You fired me up and am so excited about this because there is way you colored off my eyes concerning issue. Am in Africa, Uganda and am planning and same time the plan is undergo but still struggling with structure. And I have taken your advice, thank you so much. You're blessed.

This finished wall hanging has been sitting around waiting for its frame to arrive for over a week now, but I haven't had time to write a blog post about it and the frame still hasn't arrived. I think out of all the things I've ever made, this is the only one where I don't look at it and feel distracted by seeing what I could have done better or differently (I'm not saying those things don't exist, just that I'm not preoccupied by seeing them). I'm finally happy with something I've created just the way it is. And oddly, it's also one of the most simple English paper pieced designs I've ever made. What I really love about it is how it looks quite intense close-up, but morphs into something pale and tranquil when I stand farther away.
However, it took quite a long time to get to this point. This small wall-hanging has been taken apart so many times and the border, it has had so many different borders. Luckily hand stitches are much quicker to unpick than machine stitches, even though they take longer to make. I tend to consult my husband and daughter a lot in terms of colour as I often find I get so close to what I'm doing that I lose any sense of perspective or objectivity about how something looks. The problem with doing this is that it's sometimes difficult for others to imagine exactly how something will look once it's pieced together…I lost count of the times I pieced a new round (and as there are only really four rounds before you reach the border, you can assume that was the same round many times over!), and my husband would wrinkle his nose and tell me it somehow wasn't quite right. It was maddening, although I think because we work together, we've fallen into this brutally honest approach to assessing whatever the other is doing, as I frequently do exactly the same to him when he's mocking up graphics for our Squeebles apps. At the time, it's always painful to hear when you've put so many hours of work into something, but ultimately I think it makes it more likely that we'll be pleased with the end result.
I use a large piece of foam board to trial out new colours and shapes, sticking the pieces on with pins. It's not the perfect way to mock something up as the dog's ears and overhangs, but it does cut out some of the trial and error, although the room does become littered with a confetti of tiny fabric-covered paper shapes.
What I learnt making this was that I as someone who loves fabric, I have an innate desire to work as many different prints into something as I possibly can. This was an exercise in peeling back print usage for me, which I found difficult as it made me feel anxious that the finished design would look dull. I've recently become fixated with studying why I find certain designs really appealing to look at though, and it's invariably because they repeat just two or three colours over and over, so I kept reminding myself of this, every time I trialled a new print. Orla Kiely's book, Pattern, which includes most of her designs up until the date of publication, has so many examples of limited colour and pattern use that I love.
I used white and grey Architextures for the plainer bits to give some texture without making things too busy. I love these prints. In her fabric round-ups (exciting weekend UK and US posts on what new fabrics are available) Katy has always said how useful prints like these were and I'd never really quite understood why, but now I can see exactly what she was talking about.
Those who follow me on Instagram, will have already seen this photo, but for those who don't, this photo below is one my favourites taken while making this. My husband and I took a week off a few weeks ago as we were working so hard on Squeebles over the summer that we didn't make time to go away for a holiday and later really regretted it. So, completely unplanned, for a week in November or December (I can't remember which now, as time seems to be going so quickly in the run up to Christmas) we sat around watching films, going out for meals and taking Nell for long walks and I also did a lot of hand-sewing. It was so lovely to recharge our batteries in this way. One day I sat on the floor with my back to the radiator and Nell came and fell asleep with her half of her body draped over my legs: the solid weight of a warm dog is a very cosy blanket indeed.
It feels like a real breakthrough to get to the point where I can finally sew around her (although I'm completely paranoid about putting needles down in safe places now) as for a while it became an upstairs-only activity, which I felt quite sad and limited by as part of the joy of hand-sewing is what a sociable activity it can be. In the whole of the time I was sewing this together she only ate two of the pieces, which felt like quite an achievement as it was only a few months ago that she would have attempted to eat the entire in-progress wall-hanging, as well as my box of supplies. This weekend my husband and son even managed to spend a few hours building a ship, with the entire contents of my son's Lego collection spread over the floor, with Nell lying beside them and watching peacefully without attempting to nibble vital components. She has to be in the right mood for this, but we're getting more and more frequent glimpses of what a calm and easy dog she will become once she's lost her puppyish bounce (which also means that I'm no longer wishing her puppyish bounce away, as she is so amusing at this stage, even while being frustrating). I think for my son, this with-Nell-in-attendance Lego session had a similar feeling of breakthrough as I'd had with my hand-sewing as, for the first nine months of her life, our lives changed quite substantially to try and accommodate this wild creature that had come to live with us who seemed to need constant supervision.
Ps. If you like any of the fabrics you've seen in this wall-hanging, for the most part they came from Kate's shop.
What a wonderful piece of stitchery! I love the way the greys make it calming to look at. And Nell is so gorgeous!
This is so pretty! It's very modern looking like contemporary art! And puppy is adorable!
This is perfect. I think I will need 10 years of practice before my work looks like this. Well done! The muted colors are peaceful and have a calmness and peace about them, I think it is lovely.
It's so beautiful. Lovely work as always.
This piece is beyond lovely. Truthfully, I find all of your wall-hangings to date very inspiring! I have high hopes of stitching a wall-hanging or two myself someday. As a result, I'm very interested in how you frame these pieces. Could you explain that process? Thanks!
Mustard is one of those colours I struggle with but it looks great here with the grey. Visually a lovely quilt and quite striking in your photos!
Just simply Gorgeous! So inspired. I love the idea of hanging these masterpiece like the one you did with oakshot. Have to put that on my list!
This is just beautiful and inspiring. I've already checked your tutorial on EPP and I am really inspired to give a try to this technique. I think I'll start using the scraps that live in my fabric box... Thank you.
When our dogs were pups, we had someone in the street tell us that at about 4 years old, retrievers will go from playful puppy to comatose calm. As I normally can not move around the house without having to step over a sleeping dog, I can see their point.
Hi! I have taken to EpP recently and have been visiting your blog looking at your photos and reading your tips. I often wonder how many people lurk around my blog (I doubt many, it is rather boring) and never tell me they are there so I just wanted you to know I have been visiting and hope you have a wonderful New Year!
I adore this wall hanging! Everything just ticks all my aesthetic boxes! Do you remember the name of the fabric you used for the grey floral stars and hexagons? Thanks so much!

Donna Nugent of the Eastern Section in action.
Donna Nugent with Eastern Section teammate Marion Nies.
Rancho Mirage, Calif. – When it comes to playing for the opportunity to reach a USTA League National Championship, one player can make all the difference.
Earlier this year on June 30, 58-year-old Donna Nugent of Liverpool, N.Y., slipped and fell on the deck at her home. She suffered a broken right elbow.
Nugent, a member of the USTA Eastern Section Senior 4.0 team, underwent surgery a few days later. Doctors placed a 3½ inch screw in her elbow. "They (doctors) told me I probably wouldn’t be able to play tennis until next year," Nugent said.
The team, which is based in Syracuse, N.Y., finished 5-1 to win its league. After capturing the USTA Eastern Western Senior Regional Championship, the Eastern women advanced to USTA Eastern Section Championship.
Even though she was eligible to play, Nugent said, "I didn’t think I would play Sectionals at the end of September."
However, what sometimes happens in USTA League was happening to the Eastern women’s team. Injuries and illness began to take their toll on the team.
In late September, they arrived at the Eastern Sectionals (9/24 – 9/26) in Schenectady, N.Y. with just enough players to field a team, only to see one of their team members fall ill after the first day.
While the team stayed in contention for first place, it had to default two critical points before their last match as they only had five players available.
On the day before her team’s last Sectional match, Nugent was called and asked if she could play. "I wasn’t supposed to play and I didn’t get doctor’s permission…," Nugent said. "I went with my son on Saturday to practice to see if I could even hit the ball."
Despite having not played since June, Nugent decided to play and awoke at 5:30 a.m. and drove 2½ hours from Syracuse on that Sunday morning. "It didn’t take much pushing for me to go," Nugent said. "I was just glad to get out there. I was just so excited to play."
With Nugent on the court, the Eastern women had a full lineup for their last match which would determine if they would advance to the 2010 USTA League 4.0 Senior National Championships.
Nugent not only helped her team avoid a costly default, she and teammate Patti Dobia won 6-4, 6-0 at No. 3 Doubles to help the team win Sectionals and earn a trip to the Nationals.
The win at No. 3 doubles proved to be a critical point as the team tied for first and advanced on the basis of fewest sets lost.
"We wouldn’t have been here (Nationals) without her. She’s a team player," said Marion Nies, Nugent’s teammate.
"They didn’t have much of a chance if we had another default," Nugent said. "They’ve been doing all the winning. I just came in to help push it over."

Preheat oven to 350 F. Coat insides of two 24-cup mini-muffin pans with butter.
In a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter, and saute jalapenos until soft. Whisk in flour, and continue stirring 2–3 minutes. Do not let brown. Add milk, stirring constantly, until mixture thickens and starts to boil, 4–5 minutes. Remove from heat; add cheeses, and stir until melted. Add salt, pepper and nutmeg. Add cooked pasta to cheese sauce; stir to combine.
Scoop tablespoons of mac and cheese into muffins cups, packing them lightly. Insert a piece of lobster meat into each cup. In a small bowl, combine Parmesan and bread crumbs; sprinkle on top. Cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes or until ready to bake.
Bake until mac and cheese is starting to brown on top and bubbling, about 15 minutes. Let cool 20 minutes. Use a small knife to loosen around the edges, and transfer to a serving platter.
*Instead of lobster, you can substitute cooked small shrimp, lump crab or bay scallops.
How to cook lobster tails – Using a kitchen shear, cut down the middle of the lobster shell, just to the tail. Fold open the shell, and pull the lobster meat up and out, but do not detach it from the shell. Fold the shell back together, and lay the lobster meat on top. Place shell on a foil-lined baking sheet. With a sharp knife, make a slit down the center of the lobster meat, removing any vein that may still be there (as with shrimp). Brush meat with melted butter and a squeeze of lemon. Broil until meat is opaque in color, about 7–8 minutes (shells will turn bright red).
