"The daily grind," "the treadmill," "back to the salt mines." The very words so many of us use to describe our work and our lives show a deep discontent. Why? And is there a way out?
Art Gish says yes, there is - simplicity. Simplify your wants, your life style, your concerns and the way is open to a fuller, more rewarding life - infinitely rich in joy. But, Gish does not advocate the fake simplicity of the hippy, or the martyrdom of the ascetic. He suggests a true application of the things of the world as well as of the spirit, a radical change in goals and values.
Practical as well as inspirational, Art Gish presents specific techniques for simplifying your life as you live it now - ways and means which are well within the reach of every one who wants to live their life - "Beyond The Rat Race."

My fifty-sixth birthday finds me at home, taking a rare day off the day job (busking in the Berkeley BART station and the Berkeley Farmers’ Market), spreading sheets of newspaper around parts of the backyard, weighting it down with rocks and bricks and whatever I can find. My friend Celi at thekitchensgarden recommended this method of composting after we determined that I could neither keep chickens nor build and turn a compost bin. Underneath the newspaper are used coffee filters and eggshells. The other vegetable and fruit scraps get buried in big pits. My birthday present requests have included bales of straw, seeds, plants and child-sized garden tools — I garden on my knees or sitting on the ground: I am slightly obsessed with the garden and the possibility of growing some of our own food.
I ate oatmeal for breakfast, graced with dried cherries and maple syrup: our kind friend Mary Katherine treated us with a gift certificate to Trader Joe’s as a housewarming present and we bought ourselves a hoard of delicious cheeses, salmon steaks, grass-fed beef steaks and lamb tips as well as the breakfast goods. We are not eating our meat and fish bounty yet because I am still on a soup or stew kick: this week we ate curried yellow split pea soup with spiced yogurt, taken from the Green’s cookbook, along with loaves of Mark Miller’s Cumin Orange Bread and some Asian cucumber salad provided by my friend Elaine. We also went out to Angeline’s in Berkeley for Johnny’s birthday, where we ate voodoo shrimp (me), crawfish etouffee (him) and banana bread pudding with caramel sauce and whipped cream (we split it). Also, on Valentine’s Day we ate a very spiffy dinner at Zatar, featuring lamb and crab salad and a fish tagine, cardamom ice cream and red wine-poached pears. I know, I know: we are a celebrating couple of people in February — it’s a good month to be us. But when I am not dining finely, out or at home, I am grubbing in the dirt, or putting containers out in the yard to catch water. I have planted my first Sun Gold tomato plant, plus three red cabbages, three chard plants, one kale and one parsley. The parsley did not survive, soaked by the copious rain of the last few days, but the other things are doing fine: my mint plant is glorious and green, thanks to the local abundance of sun, followed by the welcome rain in my drought-stricken state. It was supposed to pour all day, they said. We did have showers in the morning, but I haven’t seen any real rain today yet.
Detail from “Garden 101” painting.
My covetousness knows no bounds: I want to put in a Meyer lemon tree and a Bearss lime, a Gravenstein apple, maybe a green fig and a persimmon. Apricots and walnuts are supposed to grow well here, too: the neighbor’s have an old walnut — maybe one will grow itself! Fortunately, my thrift is intact: I cart home bags of leaves from parking lots and gutters to enrich our soil and I bought a mixed bean soup mix to plant in the backyard: legumes are good for the soil, breaking up hard dirt with their roots and fixing nitrogen to nuture future plants. If we get some shelling beans, so much the better. I plan to broadcast black-eyed peas as well, which are delicious fresh from the pod, particularly when prepared an Indian way.

West Main passersby were alarmed last week to see yellow caution tape stretched in front of Parallel 38 and Gus’ Custom Tailoring, and a sign declaring Continental Divide “unfit for human habitation or occupation.” Despite that dire warning, the problem (a collapsed ceiling) should be repaired and the restaurant up and running again next week, owners say.
Building owner Blake Hurt says no one was hurt when the false ceiling collapsed, dropping drywall into the popular southwestern eatery. When a city inspector checked the ceiling, he also noticed a few other issues with the building that resulted in the temporary shuttering of the other businesses. Among the problems: a groundhog hole under the foundation.
He had a structural engineer inspect the building and says all the issues have been addressed.
Parallel 38 has been granted permission for re-occupancy, according to Neighborhood Development director Alex Ikefuna. Gus’ Custom Tailoring also is open.

The new paddling season is nearly upon us. All of those day paddles, practice sessions, surfing outings and overnight trips may still appear unreal as most of us dream of blue water but the snow is melting. Chicago Area Sea Kayakers Association will have another busy season in 2011. Right now it is time for you to join the circle of like-mined CASKA members to help thaw our open water out!
I joined a couple of years ago. Saturday morning paddles in the company of experienced CASKA sea kayakers opened the door to the treasure that is Lake Michigan. I could have, of course, gone out on my own but the lake, beautiful as it is, can turn into a death trap without warning. The negligible price of the membership paid for itself many times through a free pool session, subsidized first aid course, and discounts from the local kayak shops. Yet, at the time, was not quite clear on the purpose of CASKA.
"To encourage and promote safe paddling on our local (Illinois) waterways, including both rivers and Lake Michigan; to interface with local government agencies in regards to environmental and access issues; and to provide networking opportunities for our paddling community."
Hence, the C.A.S.K.A. C.A.S.E! Community, Access, Safety, and Environment. I figured you may want to know why we need a club with paid membership.
First and foremost, most of these funds go to create and maintain the ways for a community of paddlers to get together. CASKA secures and maintains a virtual meeting ground, a website with resources for anyone who wants to paddle in our waters as well as a blog rich in information relevant for local paddlers. Part of CASKA membership fee goes to support the efforts of Illinois Paddling Council and American Canoe Association. Membership with these two advocates for paddlers' rights connects us to a larger community of Illinois and American paddlers at large. More immediately, part of CASKA budget goes to facilitate face-to-face member meetings in various formats throughout the year.
All three of the organizations above—CASKA, IPC, and ACA—serve as the voice of paddlers in advocating for our rights to access and use the blueways. Officers and members of these clubs keep an eye on any developments in the public sector that may impact what we can and cannot do. Lake Michigan Water Trail is one of the long-standing projects that will eventually provide access points for a paddler to go all the way around the only Great Lake surrounded by four US states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, and Wisconsin.
CASKA stands for safe and responsible use of water. Visit our safety center for starters. Most CASKA day and overnight trips are led by experienced sea kayakers who can not only help out a fellow paddler in trouble but also share their knowledge to prevent that trouble from developing in the first place. Many CASKA members are certified instructors.
Last, but definitely not least, CASKA advocates for preservation and improvement of the environment in which we paddle. The urban area in which we do most of our paddling is surrounded by industry giants and pollution is a very real danger. Our members have spoken for water quality in the lake and the Chicago River at multiple public forums over the years. CASKA members also organize regular clean-up events throughout the paddling season. Look for them on our Calendar.
So, if any of these four pillars that found CASKA appeal to you, join us by signing up electronically on CASKA website. Everyone who joins or renews is entitled to a spiffy BPA-free CASKA water bottle with a karabiner. The only catch is that you have to get it at one of CASKA functions.
As CASKA member, you can also get a prorated ACA membership on their website.
Wednesday night likely was the coldest night of the 2010-11 winter for Chicago. It followed on the heels of last week's blizzard, reportedly the third largest in Chicago history. Ahead were rising temperatures, steadily lengthening days and a big melt. I felt that the winter season was pivoting to spring.
On Friday, I took advantage of the last day before the melting began for a Chicago RIver paddle in true winter conditions. By "true winter conditions" I mean conditions where the notoriously sticky and possibly toxic Chicago River mud is thankfully frozen solid.
I put on a couple of layers under my drysuit and put in at Clark Park, which is about 3400 north on the east side of the River.
Paddling south I encountered an unusual marine hazard at the Diversey Avenue bridge. Work crews were clearing the bridge of snow and a front-end loader was dumping the snow into the water.
I suspect that dumping snow laden with road salt and other contaminants into the river is not an approved method of getting rid of snow. The work crew stopped as soon as they saw me and my camera. Maybe they were just accommodating a solo mariner, but I plan to send the photo to the Friends of the Chicago River just in case.
My route south took me through the Loop and then south past the trainyards and Chinatown to venerable Lawrence's Fisheries at Canal Street and the river, just north of Cermak Road. Lawrence's is very kayaker friendly, with a low dock and a big parking lot. Apparently, at least one local kayak outfitter launches from the dock on occasion. The staff thought nothing of me padding around in my drysuit and PFD. One staff person even said that it was "good to see the kayakers again."
Getting in and out of a kayak next to a higher dock can be tricky. To minimize risk I secured my boat to the dock using a Schockles cord ahead and another behind my cockpit. By tethering my boat to the dock I had a secure platform. Getting in and out of the boat was a breeze. I did not have to worry about pushing my boat away as I scrambled onto the dock and finding myself hanging over open water, desperately trying to hold on to both the boat and the dock.
After resting and refueling at Lawrence's I headed back north. While I think of winter as a black and white season, along the banks of the river were little compositions with some color.
There is a nice stretch of open water between Chinatown and the Loop. This railroad bridge almost swallows the skyline.
As you paddle closer to the Loop on your west is a large powerplant of some sort that stands mutely on the shore.
On the east is River City, an apartment complex designed by Bertrand Goldberg, a most interesting Chicago architect responsible for, among other Chicago buildings, Marina City. According to this account, River City was intended to be a massive complex with 72 story towers. It got scaled down to its current level, but the plan was for the building to run for a half mile along the River. Only a small portion was ever built, completed in the early 1980s.
What is notable about both River City and Marina City is Goldberg's recognition of the recreational potential of the Chicago River at a time when the river's water quality was likely much worse than it is today and the river was commonly described as a "sewer." A visionary, Goldberg integrated the river into the building complex in a very direct way.
Goldberg's vision no doubt helped inspire the slow but steady ongoing progress towards realizing the Chicago River's potential as a recreational and cultural resource. We kayakers owe him a debt of gratitude for his foresight.
The return paddle through the Loop and back to Clark Park was uneventful. There were flurries most of the way. When I tried to get a drink of water from the water bag in my PFD I found that the nozzle had frozen shut. Fortunately, I had additional water in a jug.
The sun came out just as I landed, but the cold had robbed my camera battery of power so I didn't get to capture some nice sunset shots over the snow. My camera did revive enough to allow one shot of my boat back in the garage, still covered with some of the ice that had accumulated on the trip.
Chicago River paddling is delightful in the winter. Boat traffic ranges between light and non-existent, which leaves the Loop canyons pretty much open for the paddler to explore. (But keep an eye out for the barges.) We can only hope that the cold weather has driven any waterborne pathogens into hibernation.
This spring I hope to explore the River from WIlmette to Summit to Lake Michigan. This will allow plenty of opportunities to stop in at Lawrence's for fried goodness and hot coffee. By the time the Chicago River will start to seem boring Lake Michigan will be free of ice and warming up nicely.

Some "before" pictures and then progress on the 100 foot building Mike is restoring. Just like the barn he restored, this building will have some noticeable flaws that could not be repaired due to age, damage, erosion to the ground, etc. However, to replace this building with a new one of equal size would have costs us a fortune. Restoring these old buildings brings new life to buildings with a history and will provide adequate space for the rest of our lives.
This building is a "commercial" chicken house probably built in the 1960's. With the historic feeders, waterers, shipping crates, brooder boxes and such left in the old buildings, we are able to piece together a bit of the history of this place. These former farmers used the building to start peeps and then raise them up, uncaged, in this building.
We will use this building to store large equipment and hay. We may also use a portion of it for shelter for some of the cattle during inclement weather.
Mike has done all the work for this building by himself including dragging long pieces of metal up to replace the roof. He is now working on the board and batting for the exterior.
Labels: Chicken House Restoration, Grounds, outbuilding restoration.
I am never quite sure what the day will bring. Mostly, unless Mike is in Staunton, I plan my days around whatever project he is tackling. Most of the time that means I have my own projects, but sometimes I assist him with what he is doing or I “ride along” with him when he has things to do away from home. Monday morning, he decided to tackle a most unpleasant task. I worry because he tries to do too much by himself and he is quick to remind me that there is no one else who is going to help do the things he needs to do. He has a point. It has mostly been that way for us. That’s not to say that we don’t have people who help us, because we do, but mostly one can’t ask for help with the unpleasant and difficult tasks. It just doesn’t work that way. Mostly, over the years, I have tried to “be the other man” to help carry the loads and lend what strength I had to the situation, but I am not in a position to do that at this point. In the unfinished basement of our home, old, inoperable appliance had been left by previous owners. In addition, with our continued bad luck with used appliances, we had accumulated non-working appliances of our own. And, there was an old, extremely heavy 1940-50’s era wood stove that could not be used and needed to be removed because we would like to install an operable wood stove. All of this is heavy and difficult for one person to manage. In fact, pretty impossible for one person to manage unless your name is Mike Cupp. Adding to the difficulty is the steepness and the narrowness of the old steps and the ill though out plan of the people who bought and flipped this house before we purchased it when they built the deck out from the back door and made it impossible to get anything in and out of the basement without squeezing it between the deck and the stairs and then having to make a sharp, half a turn back to get it down the steps. The set up makes bringing appliances in or out of the basement next to impossible. Somehow, someway that man of mine got a stand-up freezer, two dryers, two washing machines and a wood burning stove out of that basement and onto the back of the truck. There were times when I would steady something here or put a hand there, but I did not in any way help with the lifting. I did fret the whole time that he was going to end up with a serious injury, if not from stressing and straining muscles, then from a large appliance falling backwards on him as he came up the steep steps. Mostly, I couldn’t watch because then I would blurt out my fear and Mike would get irritated with me as I distracted him from the task at hand. I was relieved when everything was on the truck and we could make our way to the scrap yard.
It's a “good little ways” to the scrap yard but not an unpleasant drive. After Mike got everything off the back of the truck (a much easier task than getting everything on the truck) we laughed that the money we got from the scrap yard would pay for a few bags of feed. On the way home, we went into Hillsville and picked up some feed after stopping at a couple of grocery stores to pick up items we needed or wanted. Because the round-trip drive to the grocery store is close to an hour for us, we always stop in when we are in the area rather than make a special trip.
Back at home I had supper to fix and the cow to milk before we settled in for a quiet evening. It was nice to have Mike back from Staunton and be able to keep him home this week. He had originally thought to go back to Staunton this week and make more hay, but the weather coinciding with Hurricane Michael is keeping him from proceeding with those plans this week.
Tuesday, I woke up very early being in a lot of sciatic and lower back pain. When that happens, I just get up, no matter what time it is, and do something. I have had to eliminate coffee from my diet, but I can drink hot tea. I drink a lot of herbal teas and first thing in the morning when I am hurting, I usually get up and make a double cup of Turmeric tea with a touch of honey. While the water is heating on the stove, I typically put away any dishes I have left to drain from the previous night and then I straighten up the pillows on the couch. I have always been one that has to have certain things in order and the pillows on the couch drive me crazy if they are in disarray. I am convinced that my need to make order of things like this is because there is so much in life over which we have no control. The pillows on the couch, I can put back in order. I also usually start a load of clothes at this time because the sooner I can get them on the clothesline in the morning, the more likely they are to get dry before an afternoon thunderstorm threatens or before the evening dampness seeps into them. We still do not have a working dryer and keeping the clothes washed and dried requires some planning and diligence on my part. However, I always enjoy hanging clothes on the line and the idea of not using the extra electricity to dry them. Having accomplished my morning routine and seeing it was still only 4 am, I decided to lie down and see if I could get a little more sleep. The turmeric tea and the hour of movement were enough to relieve my back a tiny bit so that I could drift off again. I slept until a little after seven and Mike woke me up and asked if I would get ready and go with him to the produce auction in Boone’s Mill. He loves to do this and he enjoys my company. I always know that I can sit in the car and read or take a nap if things get too long. It’s also a good time for me to make phone calls in a location where I have decent internet service. The trip to Boone’s Mill is always pretty. We take the Blue Ridge Parkway for about half the way and then we take rural road down the mountain until we finally arrive at our destination. It’s really a lovely drive on most days. Yesterday, the fog was so thick that we could not see anything for most of the miles along the parkway. Mike even thought about turning around and going back home, but kept thinking that we would soon drive out of the fog. The items at the auction were scarce and high. That’s how it is this time of year. I bought a few New England Cheese pumpkins. I am always drawn to this heirloom variety of pumpkin. It is a pie pumpkin and I figured I could decorate with them and then use them for baking. I am going to take a few to our antique booth in Galax. They will look good with the farmhouse décor items we have in the upstairs booth. For less than the price of a crafty, fall decoration from Walmart, I have something I can use to decorate several locations and process and eat when I am finished. Seems like a win/win situation to me, or at least, that is how I justified my purchase in my own mind.
The trip back was better. There were still areas of thick fog but mostly it was clear. In one of the areas of heavy fog, we came up quickly on two motorcycles. It startled me when we suddenly came upon them. Both drivers were wearing all black and their bikes were black. If it were not for one tiny, little, red taillight, we would not have seen them. We followed them on the Parkway for a number of miles until they finally exited the road. I wondered aloud if they realized how difficult they were to see in the fog and how I wished that they would wear something reflective when riding in such conditions. We drove through some rain but when we arrived home, the sun was shining. These mountains are known for their numerous microclimates in the hills and hollers.
Back at home, I worked toward an early meal, and then milked the cow, took care of the chickens and gathered the eggs before pricing a few small items we have to go in our booth at Briar Patch Marketplace. It is getting dark earlier which means more time in the evenings for indoor things before it is time to go to bed. As a farmer’s wife, I have always enjoyed when the days start getting shorter in the fall because it always meant that Mike would be home earlier and we could begin to have a little time together after a long, hard, spring and summer. Our lives are different now due to the choices we have made and we now have more time together because of them. However, the shorter days still give me a sense of coziness as we settle in together for a longer evening.
We had planned to stay at home Wednesday. Mike hoped to get some work done on the large outbuilding that he is restoring. He has been working to put a new, metal roof on it. The building is huge and he has taken this project on without any help at all. I am not able to climb on the roof or to lift the long pieces of metal up to him. I don’t even know how he manages, but he does and he is slowly making progress. However, the rain started earlier than we expected and we decided to run errands instead. We had a number of things we needed to accomplish in Galax and Hillsville, so we just made a day of it. I was irritable and I don’t really even know why. I simply hated every minute of being out that day. I could not wait to be home again. I blamed it on impending weather, but that was just an excuse, I suppose.
We knew that we would get some weather off Hurricane Michael, but the reports that we read initially indicated we were only supposed to get a couple of inches of rain from the storm. We had been so prepared for Florence and that storm really ended up not being that big of a deal for us. We did get a good bit of rain from it, but being it came over such a long period of time, it didn’t cause us any real trouble. Hurricane Michael ended up being a totally different situation for us. Thursday morning the sky was dark and the rains from the previous day continued and intensified. Mike had always talked about the potential dangers of heavy rainfall here, and I acknowledged his concerns, but when it became a reality, I was taken off guard. I watched the streams on two sides of our home, and the one across the road in the neighbor’s meadow that comes through a culvert under the road to join our two streams where it becomes Roads Creek and then Laurel Fork Creek. The streams have risen and raged before but never got even dangerously close to swelling their banks. I was trying to work up some apples but I couldn’t keep myself from running to the dining room where I had a view of the water. I noticed at one point that it had risen quickly and significantly in the thirty minutes since I had looked at it previously. I made my way to another window where I could see our low water bridge at the end of our driveway. I couldn’t believe my eyes when I saw water rolling over the top of the bridge. We have never witnessed that even with all the rain we have had. At first it was interesting, a novelty of sorts, until I saw the waters rising even higher and starting to flood the main road. By this time, I was becoming just a little fearful. I knew that we were safe in our home on the bank and that it would take something the size of Noah’s flood to reach our house, but the site of the bridge under rushing water and the entire meadow as well as the road looking like a raging river was unnerving. I was worried about the water that was pouring down from the mountain ridges behind our house that I knew was going through the barn. We had left the doors to the barn open so the animals could get in, but also so that they could get out. Knowing that animals have good instincts, we felt that if they were not trapped inside the barn and things go too bad, they could move on up to higher ground which is what they did. I couldn’t get up to check on them for a while because of the torrential rains but we found them safe when we were able to go. The water had gone through the shelter area off the back of the barn and taken a good bit of dirt with it. It was wet where a stream had run through that section but it could have been worse. There is nothing that makes a person feel quite as vulnerable as raging, flooding water and the knowledge that there is nothing that can be done to stop it. I watched in horror as the streams continued to rise until almost as suddenly as it all began, once the rain slacked off, they began to recede. It actually didn’t take long for the waters to go down below the bridge once again, giving us access by vehicle to leave our property if we wished. The flooding really left us with no real issues. We never lost power and other than some unwanted debris and some more erosion caused by the running water, we ended up just fine. It will, however, be something that I never forget.
I was so happy that the waters receded in time for Alissa and the girls to make a trip down to see us for the weekend. I have not been able to stay more than 12-18 hours when I go back to Staunton since Princess calved and I have been milking her. My time there is always filled with work and business and with Analia going to kindergarten and Alissa working, it’s hard to get to spend any quality time with them. I was so thankful that they were able to come down and spend some time with us in our home where we could relax and make memories. Both girls didn’t’ want me to be out of their site. Rory, who called me mom for most of her 18 months and then started saying “T T” for Tita now has decided that it’s “Teesha”. She didn’t call me mom even once but repeatedly said “Teesha, Teesha” because she wanted me to hold her or at least to not leave the room she was in at the time. We had a lot of fun together playing, reading, seeing the cows and chickens, riding the ATV on the back 40, carving a pumpkin and just spending quality time together. This morning, we got up and readied ourselves for church. The girls walked into church like they had been to that church a hundred times but they had only been there once before. I think the love and kindness of the people at church had made such an impression on them the last time they visited, that they felt loved, accepted and uninhibited. Besides having some minor disagreements over the stickers I had brought to keep them busy during the sermon, they were really well behaved and quiet, but it wouldn’t have mattered to anyone if they had not been. After church we went to The Parkway Grill for brunch. It was the first time that I have dared to eat away from home since I got so violently ill almost five weeks ago. I was a bit nervous about eating out because it is hard to tell sometimes how a food has been prepared and I have some pretty strong theories on what some of my triggers are that cause me to have extreme reactions to the food I am eating. Having the food served buffet style allowed me to pick and choose what I thought would work well for me. This is the hardest part, not the being limited in what I can eat so much, but in how it restricts my being able to interact with those I love when we share meal times together. I know several times Mike has wanted to eat out and while I encouraged him to do it, he would not, knowing I would be so very limited. I’ve been pretty isolated from these incidents in the last five weeks, but one event we attended included a BBQ meal. (I may have written some about that last week.) I had to walk away because there was nothing there I could safely it. It made me feel very sad. I didn’t want to stand there and have to explain dozens of times why I couldn’t eat the food and yet to walk away and wait for Mike meant that he was constantly thinking about me sitting in the car and I know that detracted from his being able to thoroughly enjoy his time. But, we made it through lunch today and while it sent me immediately to the bathroom, I did not get violently sick. And while everyone was concerned about me either not eating enough or possibly eating something that would have adverse effects, we did enjoy eating out together and our time together. I was glad to leave the restaurant however. It just feels a little strained rather than fun now.
After eating, we drove a few blocks over to Floyd Country Store for their Sunday afternoon jam session. After experiencing the music and atmosphere at the store on several occasions, I would go every Sunday afternoon if I could make it. We were there about five weeks ago, the Sunday before I got so sick and had to go to the ER. It was the week that an older gentleman pulled me out onto the dance floor and I made a complete fool of myself but had a wonderful time. I told Mike then that I wanted to take all the grands when they visited, as I want them to experience traditional music and dance of the Appalachian Mountains. We had to wait a while. I think we got the wrong time and assumed it started half an hour before it was scheduled. The kids were getting restless and I began to think that maybe it had not been such a good idea but with the first note of music, I knew they were hooked. Analia ran out onto the dance floor trying to figure out how to make her ballet lessons work with the Mountain music. I could see she was struggling but knew she would work it out. After a couple of songs, I whispered in her ear to watch the feet of the other dancers and just try to do what they were doing. She did much better then, but was still threw in a ballet move here and there. After a while, some girls a little older than her who are regulars came to dance and they gathered round her and danced so that she would have someone to follow. Then, during a slow tune, one of the girls took her hands, never saying a word, and gently showed her how to dance to the slower music. Alissa had intended to leave around 2 but Analia was having so much fun and kept begging to stay longer. One more song was never enough and they stayed until almost 3 pm, Analia stalling even as she was being buckled in her car seat.
When the music first began I saw Rory’s head nod forward and she began to keep time with her body as the musicians played. She came over and stood beside my chair staring ahead at the musicians mesmerized by the music and the dancing. I leaned down and whispered in her ear, “Do you want to dance?” Before I could even get out of the chair, this child who is normally, initially reserved around strangers, ran through the spectators, through the musicians, and into the circle of dancers. There she stopped and stood dead still. We watched her as she stood there unmoving, staring at the dancer’s feet. I thought at first that maybe she realized she had run up there alone and had gotten scared until I realized that she was thinking about what the others were doing and taking it all in. It seemed as if she was studying their moves and trying to process in her head what she needed to do to make her feet move like theirs. She was transfixed. The song ended and all the dancers cleared the floor. Rory just stood there. I motioned for her to come back. I thought she might be afraid but she walked through the crowd of people and made her way back to me until the next song began and she ran out onto the floor with the dancers again. This time, we saw her little feet begin to move and they were keeping time with the music, a little slow and unsure, but definitely getting it. She was concentrating hard. As the music continued, she stood right in front of the man who is kind of the unspoken leader of the large, group of folks who gather on Sundays to play at Floyd Country Store. You could see that she was feeling the music and looking straight into his face. He was smiling from ear to ear, a man who usually plays with a straight face. As she found the beat, her whole body went up and down and both feet kept time together as she rocked up on her tip toes and back on her heals, over and over again. I couldn’t take my eyes off of her as she danced and the whole group danced around her. Finally, as the song ended, I looked around and I saw that I wasn’t the only one who had been watching her. There were smiles on so many faces as the dancers and musicians witnessed the moment that a little, 18-month-old girl fell in love with flat foot dancing and mountain music. My heart squeezed tight as folk clapped and congratulated her on a job well done. Never did she crack a smile as she was completely serious about the whole event. On the next song, one of the regulars who dances most every week, a very kind man who is encouraging but never overbearing, reached his hand out to her and she reached up and took it. From that moment on, they were partners. The man’s name is Mike and he with great patience danced with Rory every single dance because she wanted him to do so. When she got too tired but still wanted to be on the dance floor, he picked her up (with our permission) and danced with her. A couple of times, Rory’s new friend Mike tried to slow dance with a couple of the ladies he knows and dances with regularly. I told Rory she had to dance by herself and she went out on to the floor and danced until she saw her friend and then she reached up, without a smile with one arm and motioned to him that she wanted him to dance with HER. Mike’s partner smiled, bowed out, and he took Rory in his arms and danced wit her instead. This happened more than once and with more than one partner as Mike tried to dance with his friends. Each time, the women would bow out graciously and turn their partner over to Rory.
One of the ladies, who is a regular and who had also patiently shared her time and talents with both Analia and Rory, stopped me when I tried to apologize for Rory stealing her dance partner, Mike. She said that they are there to share. She relayed that years ago she had entered Floyd Country Store and an elderly lady had pulled her out onto the dance floor and taught her how to flat foot, igniting a passion in her that is obviously alive and strong today. She remarked that from then on, she has tried to “pay it forward” by sharing what she has learned with others.
Most every day there is something that I read, hear, or witness that causes me to despair. As I get older, I no longer have that youthful naivety that makes me feel as if I can somehow be an instrument to change the world is some grand way. In fact, a lot of days, I just want to hide away and make this old world go away with all of its pain and negativity. But then, there are these God moments.
There in a little Country Store in the Blue Ridge Mountains with the sounds of stringed instruments and feet keeping time with the old-time music on the wooden floor, I felt God just as strongly as I have ever felt him in a church sanctuary. The goodness of His children brought me to tears as I witnessed community, acceptance, love and good will. And, this wasn’t the first time that I had felt God’s presence there.
People refer to these mountains and these experiences like I have tried to describe here in my journal sometimes as “magical” and indeed it does feel that way. Maybe it’s the atmosphere that sets the stage but the real magic comes from open hearts of regular people who are brave enough and strong enough to just let love shine through and who reach out to others and share joy. The magic is in community, in the sharing of our common humanity. It’s possible. I feel it in the little mountain church that I attend on Sunday mornings, in the stranger who waves a thank you from the road after they pick up a dozen eggs from our honor system cart, from folks I barely know who once stopped to put our cows back inside the fence when they got out, and from strangers who set their own afternoon aside to teach my grandkids the joy of flat foot dancing. When the world starts to gets me down and I begin to despair, I need to remember to turn off the radio, television and computer, go out and pay it forward with love. There’s the magic.
Recently I found some hand, written recipes from my grandmother. I remember her writing out this recipe for a number of family members and friends.
Mix salt with chopped cabbage and let stand for one hour. Then, squeeze out all moisture and add carrot.
Combine and boil for one minute. Cool to lukewarm and pour over cabbage mixture.
Toss slaw and vinegar, mixing well.
Place in freezer containers or freezer bags and store in freezer until ready to use. Thaw thoroughly before serving. Last up to six months in the freezer.

If you want to limit potential losses while participating in the potentially attractive returns of a market-driven investment but would also like a guaranteed return, an indexed annuity might be worth checking out.
The performance of indexed annuities, also referred to as equity-indexed or fixed-indexed annuities, is tied to an index (for example, the Standard & Poor’s 500*). They provide investors with an opportunity to earn interest based on the performance of the index. If the index rises during a specified period in the accumulation phase, the investor participates in the gain. In the event that the market falls and the index posts a loss, the contract value is not affected. The annuity also has a guaranteed minimum rate of return, which is contingent on holding the indexed annuity until the end of the term.
The percentage of an index’s gain that investors receive is called the participation rate. The participation rate of an indexed annuity can be anywhere from 50% to 90% or more. A participation rate of 80%, for example, and a 10% gain by the index would result in an 8% gain by the investor.
Some indexed annuities have a cap rate. The maximum rate of interest the annuity will earn, which could potentially lower an investor’s gain.
Several formulas are used to calculate the earnings generated by an indexed annuity. These indexing methods can also have an effect on the final return of the annuity. On preset dates, the annuity holder is credited with a percentage of the performance of the index based on one of these formulas.
Annual reset (or ratchet): Based on any increase in index value from the beginning to the end of the year.
Point-to-point: Based on any increase in index value from the beginning to the end of the contract term.
High-water mark: Based on any increase in index value from the index level at the beginning of the contract term to the highest index value at various points during the contract term (often anniversaries of the purchase date).
Indexed annuities are not appropriate for every investor. Participation rates are set and limited by the insurance company. Like most annuity contracts, indexed annuities have certain rules, restrictions, and expenses. Some insurance companies reserve the right to change participation rates, cap rates, and other fees either annually or at the start of each contract term. These types of changes could affect the investment return. Because it is possible to lose money in this type of investment, it would be prudent to review how the contract handles these issues before deciding whether to invest.
Most annuities have surrender charges that are assessed during the early years of the contract if the contract owner surrenders the annuity. In addition, withdrawals prior to age 59½ may be subject to a 10% federal income tax penalty. Any guarantees are contingent on the financial strength and claims-paying ability of the issuing insurance company.

...health professionals find current practices highly inefficient...Our goal was to come up with something far more reliable.
Patient referrals are getting a closer look because the process is not as thorough or efficient as it should be, say experts studying the matter, which can lead to delays in diagnosis and treatment and other lapses in patient safety. Today the Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) released guidelines to help standardize the ways in which primary care practitioners activate referrals to specialists and then keep track of the information over time. Closing the Loop: A Guide to Safer Ambulatory Referrals in the EHR Era is the work of an expert panel convened to examine current obstacles to a high-quality, safe referral process and offer improvement strategies for clinicians, organizations, and electronic health record (EHR) vendors to pursue.
The work was supported by a grant from CRICO/Risk Management Foundation of the Harvard Medical Institutions and initiated by the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF), which merged with IHI in May 2017.
Patient referrals are on the rise in the US, increasing from 40.6 million in 1999 to 105 million in 2009. Even with the advent of EHRs, steps are missed as clinicians and staff deal with an array of challenges such as work overload, ambiguity of roles, communication breakdowns, and variation in requirements among specialists. Patients also struggle to follow through on referrals when they are not sufficiently engaged in the process.
The recommendations are designed to replace numerous defects in the system with processes that ensure significant collaboration among all stakeholders and easier access to referral information by all parties so that nothing important is forgotten or lost. This is accomplished through a “closed-loop” process in which all relevant patient information is communicated to the correct person through the appropriate channels and in a timely manner.
The expert panel identified nine steps in a closed-loop referral process, and potential pitfalls and solutions for each. They then looked at both technical (hardware and software) and sociological (workflow, staff) factors that influence the use of technology in health care. General recommendations are offered along with specific recommendations for each of the nine steps and for the various stakeholders – clinicians, practice leaders, and EHR vendors.
The multidisciplinary expert panel was led by co-chairs Hardeep Singh, MD, MPH, Chief of the Health Policy, Quality, and Informatics Program at Houston Veterans Affairs Health Services Research Center for Innovations, and David Y. Ting, MD, FACP, FAAP, Chief Medical Information Officer, Massachusetts General Physicians Organization, and included clinicians, researchers, patients, and industry representatives.
Members of the expert panel will present an overview of the guidelines during an open webinar on January 10, 2018. Visit the web page for details.

The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) and the National Patient Safety Foundation (NPSF) began working together as one organization in May 2017. The newly formed entity is committed to using its combined knowledge and resources to focus and energize the patient safety agenda in order to build systems of safety across the continuum of care. Visit ihi.org/patientsafety.
For more than 40 years, CRICO has served the clinicians, institutions, and employees of the Harvard medical community with a superior medical professional liability program, and an extensive array of patient safety resources. The strength of our program comes from the delivery of strong insurance protection and claims management through vigorous yet fair malpractice defense strategies. CRICO works closely with organizational leaders and physicians to provide insured-clinicians the support they need in the aftermath of an adverse event.

James Joyce's famous 1939 word-play novel has bedeviled me since I first learned of it as a child. It is nearly incomprehensible, so thick is it with multi-lingual puns and allusions and nonsense. It is widely regarded as the most difficult book in English literature.
So I was surprised to read recently that it's been translated into ten languages.
Eleven, if you include braille.
I've always heard the novel makes much more sense when read aloud. I've had it in the back of my head for years, therefore, to find an audiobook of it. Which it turns out, is not so easy. Several people have attempted it or parts of it but it's a massive undertaking.
But this morning I found downloadable files for a 1992 unabridged reading by Patrick Horgan, a British actor who has recorded more than 1800 books for the National Library Service for the Blind and Physically Disabled. He has a lovely James Joycean lilt. And this is, apparently, about the only unabridged recording ever made (except for one by Healy so full of errors that it's "notable only for its badness").
It's 27 hours 27 minutes 53 seconds long. My new CD player reads MP3 data discs, so I burned it as a 3-disc set.
Kurt Schwitters first performed his "Ursonate" in Germany in 1921, though he would continue to revise and expand it over the next twenty years.
Joyce worked on "Finnegans Wake" for seventeen years, which means he must've begun writing it in Paris around 1922.
I wonder if he was influenced by Schwitters?

So, the FCPX Creative Summit *just finished* it's third year...and I don't know if I can top the experience next year.
There are always high moments (and some low ones) at any conference. While I loved the people and sessions - in this case, it was Apple that blew me away.
When talking about tech companies, especially around pro video, some of them are very open...while others play their cards close to the vest.
Our group walked into Town Hall at Apple - the place where Steve announced the iPod.
No NDAs were signed. Five times (including twice out of my own mouth) we were told NO PICTURES.
Cool, we had some inside information. No pictures please.
Then they said, outside, in a demo area were iMac Pros - with 10.4 and....YES WE COULD TAKE PICTURES. I had to go and get verification. Because I couldn't believe it.
I'm sharing this one - I'm going to dig into others (if you have any, please share it) and write an article or two.
Now, I've always been proud of the programming. I've managed to ge the top educators and workflow experts of FCPX in one place.
Apple gave me a problem, though. How do I top this?
In 2017, Apple showed us FCPX 10.4 before it's release.
Do you really want to miss what they do in 2018?
Yes, I'd love for you to sign up for my mailing list here - but you don't have to.

The usage of energy efficient technology and green raw materials makes the Sanremo Verde one of the very first eco-friendly coffee machines. The designers with an aim to sustain the environment have used recycles coffee grounds and reclaimed wood as major raw materials to build this coffee machine. The filter holder and the steam knobs on it are made of wooden pallets.
It gets power efficiency from the computer controlled heating system, which reduces is power consumption by 35% or so. It does not continue consuming electricity like other machines but automatically shuts off when not in use.
The Ecoisme is a modern and extremely intelligent home energy monitoring system that claims to provide its users some very easy and effective power saving solutions. The smart sensor notices and keeps track of energy consumption of every single gadget in your home.
It then alerts you every time you leave the gadget turned on unnecessarily, so you can turn it off.
To make laundry green has to be one of your initial steps towards making your home energy intensive. Some washing machines, especially their dryer sections are a complete energy hog. Samsung has come up with its DV457 tumble dryer series, which is so energy efficient, as it brings down energy consumption by 36%. Not only is it good in energy consumption but it adds comfort to your life as well because you can control it remotely with your Smartphone.
You love gardening but the water consumption in your garden makes you feel guilty. Well, no need to feel the guilt and simply invest on the smart Edyn garden sensor and water valve to ensure no water wastage is taking place in your garden. The kit tracks environmental conditions and the plant requirement, provides plants with everything on time and in strict accordance to their need so that nothing is wasted.
Sustainable power solutions such as using solar power for satisfying our electricity demands is of great value. However, not many people go for it as it takes time, money, and efforts to install those big solar panels at home. For such people, the Voltaic’s solar charger kit is a perfect solution that makes people reduce their carbon footprint without installing big solar panels on their roofs. It has a lightweight design and a capacity of 1 to 18 watts, which means you can carry the kit all around with you, and enjoy charging your phone, laptop, or other small electrical gadgets on the go or at home.
Ideal for use at home or in offices, the Eco Button enables you to save electricity. People leave their computers switched on just because they do not like switching it on every time and starting it all over again. The Eco Button is a simple device that makes sure you switch off computer whenever you take a break because the next time you switch it on, you land up on the same page you were at the time you turned it off. You press Eco Button and it takes your computer into a mode that is power saving, just like it is when your computer is in a shut down mode.
With so many electric gadgets and devices at home, it sometimes becomes difficult to think of a way to reduce monthly electricity bills. However, it just takes a few changes in your lifestyle and the electrical appliances that work best to save electricity and sustain environment.

Just FYI: The 82nd edition of the Carnival of Homeschooling is up over at Tami's Blog.
Lots of great links to other homeschool blogs about many different subjects. A few that caught my eye are; Principled Discovery writes about "Building a reflective homeschool: Unanswered questions (did you every wonder what fireflys eat?) The common room writes about "My quibbles with Charlotte Mason"..because she loves CM and would never disagree outright, only quibble...(at least that is my guess...) :) and Janice Campbell writes about "Socialization...again".
Head on over to the carnival, there are many more great posts to read, this was just a very small sample.

In the late ‘80s and early ‘90s, several prominent ecologists grappled with ‘physics envy’. The twentieth century had seen great progress in the fields of physics, chemistry and genetics. Ecology, they feared, just wasn’t keeping up, despite the adoption of the rigorous experimental methods used in these fields.
Some offered somewhat apologetic reasoning for the slow pace: testing hypotheses in ecology took time, replication of existing studies even longer. Things easily achieved in a laboratory or glasshouse, such as randomisation and control, were much more difficult in a forest, a grassland, or on the edges of the sea.
These things are all true. But then, in 1987, James Gleick’s Chaos: Making a New Science was published. The popularity of the book gave a generation of ecologists more than just a common language with which to describe the complexity they knew existed in ecosystems: it shook loose any idea that ecology was some sort of impoverished cousin of physics. It was the language of mathematics, that close sibling of physics, that let ecology really sing its praises as a science.
Ecology is harder than rocket science because ecosystems can be more than just inherently unpredictable (a feature of chaotic systems); they also show other forms of complex dynamics. They are sensitive to initial conditions and subject to random events. There is no balance of nature, no equilibrium to be consistently returned to.
It is when scientists and land managers try to put an ecosystem back together that we discover just how much we are yet to understand, and how much is outside of our control.
Take banksia woodlands, for instance.
Here no more: banksia woodland at the Fiona Stanley Hospital site. Photo: Cristina Ramalho (used with permission).
Banksia woodlands, where a species of Banksia is the dominant tree in the overstorey, occur only in the south-west of Western Australia. The rest of Australia has it’s fair share of banksia species, but nowhere else are they to be found as canopy trees. Banksia woodlands are a prominent vegetation type on the Swan Coastal Plain, particularly on the heavily weathered and essentially infertile Bassendean Sands. The understorey of these communities is particularly rich in species of shrubs, perennial herbs and sedges.
For many residents, it's the distinctive banksia woodlands that give Perth its sense of place. But they are either being slowly diminished by weeds and fire and careless use or obliterated in one fell swoop to make way for new developments. Last year the banksia woodlands on the Swan Coastal Plain were listed as a threatened ecological community under federal environmental legislation.
These woodlands are not a single community: there are many sub-types, depending on the species of Banksia that dominates the canopy and the composition of the understorey. Some sub-types are more threatened than others. Despite their location within and around the suburbs of one of Australia’s largest cities, the sub-types have never been properly mapped. We are not clear about their geography, let alone their ecology.
Several recent developments – most notably the clearing of 25 hectares of banksia woodland for the Fiona Stanley Hospital and 167 hectares for the extension of Jandakot airport – have triggered offset provisions under federal environmental legislation and several large restoration projects are underway.
Remaking ecosystems is complicated work. Of the 86 species to be restored as part of the Jandakot airport offset, only 24 can be consistently propagated from collected seed. Many other species are expected to germinate from the topsoil taken from the cleared site and spread at the restoration site, but there was not enough topsoil to cover the extent of the offset area. Banksias are serotinous, meaning they hold their seeds in their cones until an environmental trigger like fire stimulates their release. Thus their seeds are not stored in the soil seed bank, and they must be planted by hand. It takes a mix of approaches – topsoil transfer, direct seeding, hand planting – to ensure that the target number of species are given the best chance of becoming established at the site. It's expensive and it takes time.
Then there’s the unpredictability. Despite the same treatments being applied consistently across a restoration site there can be large variation in the number of plants found in each hectare of land. Low rainfall years see many seedlings die. Perth’s winters have been drying for the past four decades and receiving ‘average’ winter rainfall has become a cause for celebration and relief. Difficult questions emerge about where we should collect seed from or whether we should consider using a different mix of species altogether. A remodelling, if you like, rather than a remaking of an ecosystem.
And there’s the real rub: if there’s a reason for ecologists to envy physics it’s not because it’s a more elegant discipline or because it progresses faster. It’s because physics, as a science, doesn’t need to provide evidence for difficult choices that are wrapped up as much in human values as they are in data.
Which species to save? Which to let go? Which ones to move around the landscape, and from where? Who gets to decide?
These insights about banksia woodlands were gleaned from the Banksia Woodland Management Workshop organised by the Department of Parks and Wildlife (WA) and held at the University of Western Australia on 16 June 2017.

It’s no accident you just typed in a search term related to search engine optimization or SEM and and found us here in the Dardenne Prairie search results – we used specific strategies and technical maneuvers to increase our visibility here in search engines.
Over 80% of consumers use search engines to find local businesses, and 90% of searchers never go past Page 1 of Google. Also, 94% of people will click on Organic Results rather than paid advertisements, and trust organic results more than ads which increases avg conversion rate. Without good SEO you are losing over 90% of all Dardenne Prairie prospects searching online for the exact products and/or services your business provides.
SEO, or Search Engine Optimization, is basically the process which gets your business to show up as the #1 result on Google (or other search engines) when someone searches for the products or services your business provides in Dardenne Prairie. Our SEO agency knows the proper steps to get your website in the top Google results no matter the location or size of your business.
Look at SEO as a large banner that you view every day as you head into town in Dardenne Prairie. Consider SEO in this same fashion, after seeing a billboard multiple times on the highway, you may be interested to stop in the store. SEO works in a similar way. Web users looking for a certain topic will be encouraged to check out a business that consistently appears in their search results.
Search engines use spiders to crawl the web, collect information and organize it. Optimization should address both page titles and meta descriptions. There are millions of people using search engines on a daily basis to seek for information, and businesses are always tweaking their websites so as to benefit from SEO. These are a few advantages of investing in SEO all company owners should take into account when preparing their digital marketing budgets.
The first thing business owners should do is to start seeing SEO as an investment, rather than a cost. Investments often get profits while expenditure reduces them. As making a website is extremely easy today, skeptics tend to consider SEO as a hoax. However, there are many businesses who would not be surviving if it was not for the traffic that SEO has brought them.
For instance, a person trying to find an eatery to eat in Dardenne Prairie will select all from the ones that come up in the first rankings page and not the others. There’s no such thing as a successful business without investments.
Premier SEO consultants strive to improve rankings, but also to make your web site better from functional standpoint. They will take care of various aspects such as hosting, coding and blanks within the website.
SEO can help a website grow as time goes on. This implies that it goes on generating traffic to the website as time goes. While search engine marketing can get you on the first page, your ads will be gone the very moment you stop your payments. On the contrary, organic search results will stick even in the absence of all investments.
There are more people using the web on their mobile devices than ever. This is no new thing since cellular devices are convenient to carry around and when you get stuck somewhere, they can come in handy and help you find a way out. Cell phone users rely on natural search results as opposed to ads. This is merely for the reason that organic searches are totally tailored towards mobile user. Business owners who seize this huge opportunity to grab a nice slice of their market should invest in SEO.
The use of cell phones can be connected to social media pages. Facebook, Twitter and WhatsApp are commonly used for business purposes, as well as for leisure, learning and entertainment or even for solving some urgent problems. When these people need to get something, they generally search for it on the internet, and it is essential that they get your site ready and simple to reach out to. If you have quality content and can present the optimum solution to that user’s problem, both you and your website will get an instant vote of confidence.
Local Dardenne Prairie businesses are typically the ones who have the most to gain from SEO as they can gain so many recommendations from local customers. If you still believe hiring an SEO agency is nothing but an extra cost, remember that people constantly move, either for changing their residence or for visiting purposes.
It’s very difficult for small businesses in Dardenne Prairie to draw in clients from established brands. SEO is an inexpensive and equal platform everybody can use to attract customers. An old business may overlook the importance of SEO, thus giving small businesses a tremendous competitive edge and an opportunity to acquire clients. Eventually, one time buyers become loyal customers, as they start trusting the small business more and more.

Senator McCaskill has just visited Afghanistan and Pakistan as part of a Congressional Delegation trip. McCaskill headed to the Middle East to visit Missouri troops, focus on oversight of government contracting, and discuss national security.
Sen. McCaskill with troops in Kuwait.
She says she’s hopeful about the new offensive in Afghanistan. A big difference, she says, is the sense of internationalism.
McCaskill says she caught up with Missouri troops working on bringing equipment from Iraq to Kuwait, where it’s sorted, inventoried and either sent on to Afghanistan for use there or returned to the U.S.
She adds that there was almost no contracting oversight by the Department of Defense in the rebuilding effort in Iraq.
“We want to make sure that, since that property was never located and accounted for, equipment is either being sent back to the U.S. or refurbished and sent on to Afghanistan for use there,” she says. Referencing the international interst, she discussed meeting with German commanders and memorializing several Finns and Swedes that were killed on the front.
“While in Afghanistan, McCaskill participated in a series of meetings with military and government officials as well as civilians related to oversight of contracting issues. She observed Afghan police training, a program she has been investigating through her Subcommittee on Contracting Oversight. Serious accusations of waste and fraud have been raised against the contractor responsible for both the Iraqi and Afghan police training programs. While in Pakistan, McCaskill met with government officials as well as the Pakistani Prime Minister to discuss international security issues and nuclear security,” her office reports.
When the Missourinet talked to McCaskill, she was in in India to discuss strategic regional security concerns and international trade issues. She was accompanied on her trip by Senator Jeff Merkley (D-OR) and Congressman Baron Hill (D-IN).

Today was a sad day in Eagles land, with the surprise death of Andy Reid's oldest son Garrett. Obviously all of our thoughts are with the Reid family as they deal with this tragedy.
There's no particularly good way to transition from that to general site changes. To be brief: things are new around here. Let me know what you think about the cleaner design and if you encounter any bugs or other problems. At the very least, hopefully the server issues will be over for the foreseeable future.

Suzuki Carry used to be called Carry in Pakistan until Pak Suzuki decided the vehicle needs a change to suit more to local tastes, so what did they do? Changed the design? Nopes. Changed the engine? Nopes. Changed the interior? Nopes. Changed the name? Yes. What?!
The most useless thing a commercial vehicle can benefit from. They did just that, they changed the name to Ravi and yet it is called Carry by almost everyone, whenever someone wants to move something big they say,” Yaar, Carry mangwalo”.
However, in our neighboring country called ‘India’, things are a bit different. In business schools here, I’ve seen quite often professors sharing the case study on Tata Ace with their students because Tata Ace replaced the desi jugaars type rikshaws and Qingqis called three-wheelers from the rural areas and brought everyone to use Tata Ace. Do read the case study by Harvard Business Review on Tata Ace, it is a fascinating read if you’re interested how you find a demand for a vehicle and how you market it.
Nevertheless, Maruti Suzuki has now decided that it also wants a part of that market of LCVs (Light Commercial Vehicles), and codenamed the Y9T for now, is the Carry with which Maruti Suzuki will compete with Tata Ace.
It will be based on the 2013 Suzuki Carry, it is basically a Carry which is elaborately redesigned suit Indian tastes and ergonomics while a complete new 800cc engine made by Suzuki is being installed in the vehicle which will also have a CNG option.
The name of the vehicle is yet to be finalized but it will be something local when it is finally launched next year.
Anyways, here’s Pak Suzuki’s Ravi (Carry) which is exactly the same as the first Carry apart from new spectacles.
