Erythromycin 250

Yesterday the AJC reported that MARTA is in some hot water Erythromycin 250, with the Center for Pan Asian Community Services regarding its (relatively) new "yellow" line that terminates in Doraville. Since part of the yellow line runs through an area with a sizable Asian population, pen vk 250, Keflex 500 mg dosage, some have taken offense.  Here's MARTA's rail map, pen vee k 250 mg, Pen vk 250 mg, for reference.

Creative Loafing contributor Andisheh Nouraee has taken the opportunity to tweet about the controversy (1, keflex 500mg dosage, Keflex 750 mg dosage, 2, 3):

This reminds me of two things --

1, penicillin v 250 mg. Amoxicillin 500 mg sinus infection, The time my friend criticized this blog for use of the phrase "calling a spade a spade."
2. The time that "tar baby" has been appropriated as a racial slur.

Did you know that "spade" is derogatory in some circumstances, erythromycin 250.  I didn't, keflex capsules 500mg. Pen vk 250,  Did you know that "tar baby" is derogatory in some circumstances.   Probably so, keflex 100 mg. Keflex 500 mg qid,   Does that mean I'm insensitive for calling "a spade a spade" or retelling the most famous African-American folk tale or riding the yellow line to Doraville.

Unless my token asian friends Erythromycin 250, tell me differently, I'm just going to assume this is being blown way out of proportion.  As the article points out, keflex pulvules 500mg, Cephalexin 500 mg for dogs, MARTA isn't exactly blameless here and had some warning about potential unease, but let's be reasonable: does this mean the stop lights along that same corridor are red, keflex 500 mg dosage, Keflex 750 mg dosage, racist, and green, pen vk 250 mg. Keflex 500 mg qid, What about when we tell "The Wonderful Tar-Baby Story" in our (predominately African-American) neighborhood -- is it more racist here than if we told it in (mostly white) Avondale, keflex 500mg dosage. Keflex pulvules 500mg,  No -- that'd be like saying the crackers at Kroger in Alpharetta are more racist than the crackers at Kroger on Cascade Road.

Yellow is a primary color, amoxicillin 500 mg sinus infection, Penicillin v 250 mg, y'all.  It's also a Coldplay song, pen vk 250. Keflex 100 mg,  And, yes, cephalexin 500 mg for dogs, it's also a slur.  But just because a word is sometimes hurtful doesn't mean we should banish it to the depths of the Disney vault, never to see the light of day again. It's a slippery slope, folks.

Ampicillin Mode Of Action

---

You may have noted in my last post that I said the house never looks as good as it does at Victorian Christmas.  You may have also noticed that the picture attached could be best described as "craptacular."

Ampicillin mode of action, For reasons unknown, we just don't have any great pictures of the house all dandified in Christmas garb.

Instead, we have these.  Man, we're terrible!

But wait -- are you also terrible?  No?  You say you object to being called terrible because you are, in fact, actually good?  I'm not convinced.

I do know how you can prove it, however.

You should come take pictures at the Wren's Nest, during Victorian Christmas.  Then, when you send them to us, we'll say things like, "This is fantastic!" or, at the other end of the spectrum, "This reminds me of our old pictures."

If we're thoroughly convinced of your talent, we'll offer you a fine looking t-shirt in exchange for your photos.  We may even use a sharpie to write "Wren's Nest Official Photographer" on the back.  Everyone wins.

Decatur Book Festival Pictures and a Happy Blog

---

Hey look at this!  I mean, for real, this.  Our blog.  Look at it.  Looking better, right? Thanks for your patience with our blog; there was many a kink to be ironed out, but now everyone can be happy again.  Especially since we have Decatur Book Festival pictures for you!

This is what Lain and I look like when we're not in front of our computers.  You know, uneasy.

As a reminder, though the pictures are posted on Facebook, you do NOT need a facebook account to view them.  Just click on this link, sit back, and enjoy.

The Wren’s Nest Updated Its Site Design and Now Our Blog Looks a Little Goofy

We'll fix the goofiness soon, promise. In the mean time, do you have any questions, comments, or concerns?

Wren’s Nest Publishing Company Visits the Atlanta Journal-Constitution

---

On Tuesday the Wren's Nest Publishing Co. and I (henceforth: "the gang") visited the Atlanta Journal-Constitution for a tour and an InDesign tutorial.

We were lucky enough to meet all sorts of important people.  Our tour guide was one such important person -- Daily Lifestyle Reporter and all-around champion, Jamie Gumbrecht.  She's peeking out below on the left.

While I do not have any more pictures, I can and will regale you with a few stories.  Ready?  I hope so.

Asking the Tough Questions

Jamie and the gang walked in on a meeting between Julia Wallace, Editor-in-Chief, and James Mallory, Senior Managing Editor.  Mallory introduced himself by saying (in essence), "This woman is in charge and currently stomping all over my suggestions."

Wallace asked the gang if they had any questions.  Here's how it went:

WREN'S NEST EDITOR: So, what do you think of the AJC redesign?

AJC EDITOR: What do you think about it?

WREN'S NEST EDITOR: It reminds me of USA Today.

AJC EDITOR: Is that a good thing?

WREN'S NEST EDITOR: (pregnant pause) No.

It's a tad surreal to see the Editor of one of the most respected newspapers in the country defending her decisions to a high school junior.  Apparently the AJC editors should consult the Wren's Nest Publishing Company editors before moving forward with anything else.

Auspicious Encounters

We settled in to learn all about InDesign from the lovely Melissa Angle, Senior Designer, who was nothing short of amazing.  I know this because even I could follow what she was demonstrating.  That, my friends, is saying something.  She was kind, generous (instructional packets!), funny, and patient.

On our way out we caught Pulitzer Prize winner Mike Luckovich in the midst of satirizing Jon and Kate, pen in hand and everything.  Half-finished illustrations are tops!

Here's the finished product.

Finally, Managing Editor Bert Roughton asked the gang if they had read any good submissions yet.  One answered, "No.  The one I read was REALLY bad."  I think he offered her a job on the spot.

Thank You

Can I just take a moment to appreciate the generosity of the (very important) folks who took time to hang out?  Good golly.  Melissa and Jamie, y'all have a box of cookies coming your way.  The rest of you can mooch off of them.

Thank you all again!

Behavior Problems

Unfortunately, our hosts at the AJC weren't the only jaw-dropping element of our time there.

I know that my concept of manners and good social graces are different than those of a 16-year-old, and I have to judge appropriately.  On the other hand, would you walk into the AJC while eating french fries?  Would you think nothing of arriving 20 minutes late?  Of picking at your nails while the Editor-in-Chief spoke to you?  Sadly, I could go on.

I have no question that each and every one of our editors knows how to behave themselves when it's called for.  So why didn't they think this was one of those times?  It makes me uneasy about cashing in all of our favors for a gang that will appear not only disinterested, but ungrateful.

Sticky as Brer Rabbit Molasses, this situation.  Any advice, other than prolonged yelling and/or foot stomping?

Ravinia Club Fundraiser Tomorrow, Proudly Serving Wren’s Nest Libations!

---

Way back in February we presented a contest -- name a Wren's Nest themed adult beverage and win a bag of... things. To say the very least, it went well.

And now -- well, tomorrow from 5:30pm - 8pm to be exact -- the inspiration for this contest is upon us: the Wren's Nest fundraiser hosted by the Ravinia Club.  All proceeds from the (cash) bar on the evening's featured specialty drink benefit the Wren's Nest.  Heard of it? Now, before I get to the drink-christening, allow me to convince you to join us at the Ravinia Club:

• Everyone is welcome!  What a nice sentiment!
• Usually when you toast the Wren's Nest, people have no idea what you're talking about.  Tomorrow you'll be in knowing company.
• I bet you love prizes.  You'll find tomorrow's raffle -- fine wines, tickets to sporting events, massage gift certificates and more -- so delightful.
• Wren's Nest Rambler Akbar Imhotep will be spinning yarns throughout the evening.  If you haven't seen Akbar yet, now is the time to hang your head in shame.
• Complimentary hors d'oeuvres mean you can stuff your face while pretending to be super classy.  At least that's what I'll be doing.

Are you sold yet?  I hope so.  You don't even need to buy tickets; you can just show up and enjoy a... Marga-Remus! You may also enjoy 3 - 8 of them. Yep, it's a margarita, which our inside sources tell us the club makes deliciously.  It also has "Remus" in the name, which makes it themed and super clever. So, we'll see you there, right?  Here's a map to the Ravinia Club.  Join us at 5:30 - 8 pm. Any questions?  Leave 'em in the comments.

Brer Machete

---

Hello faithful readers! Apologies for the recent lack of posts.  A combination of travel, the start of our publishing company, and Wren's Nest Fest's rapid approach has kept my brain on the fritz. Lain, however, is unapologetic. Anyhow, we're back with a bang.  Behold:

Yep, that's a machete.  I stumbled upon it today in our pantry.  It's hanging with a mop. Nannie, cool as usual, said "Oh, that thing?  It's been here forever."

Spring Break (Woo!) Storytelling Extravaganza at the Wren’s Nest

---

That's right, the Wren's Nest is hosting a Spring Break (Woo!) Storytelling Extravaganza!  Between April 7th - 10th join us for storytelling each day at 12 pm.

Even better, it's buy-1-get-1-free admission! Storytelling will be outside (weather permitting), and everyone is encouraged to bring a picnic lunch.  Tours will follow the performances or the lunches. To prove how serious we are about this excellent excuse for getting the kids out of the house, we even wrote a press release. If you exclaimed "Big Time!" you were right. Our track record with press releases is spotty.  For proof, check out the press releases under our "News" tab -- proudly updated last in 2007.   It's odd, because we have written press releases since then -- we just didn't make them public.  Pretty savvy, I know. Just in time for Spring Break (woo!), we're turning a new leaf.   You should come celebrate this new side of the Wren's Nest with us at, say, the Spring Break (Woo!) Storytelling Extravaganza between April 7th and 10th at noon.  Just an idea. Oh, and if you're all "boo-hoo this is for kids only," pull yourself together and listen -- it's also during your lunch break, goofball.

MAACC Suggestions and Comments — Take Two

---

We've gotten slightly side-tracked in the comments section of our last post, so we wanted to start anew. The goal is to use this space -- well, technically the space below -- to continue the discussion of successful practices in the current economy that began at Monday's Town Hall meeting. For example, Alex Trouteuad of Spry PR highlighted a great marketing trick that had worked well for the brain geniuses at Synchronicity Theatre.

The main questions we're looking to answer are:

• Which specific strategies work for your arts organization in this economy?
• Which strategies don’t work?
• What can the Atlanta community do to help your organization?
• Did you think that the MAACC event was helpful?

Hopefully, these answers will create an ongoing dialogue for members of the arts and culture community.  It's so great to be able to learn from everyone else's experiences, and I would love for the discussion to continue.  (Here.) And, if you're bored enough, you can even read other posts on our blog.  Let's just hope things don't get that bad.
