Top Halloween films
The spooky season invites a variety of thrilling entertainment, from the gory slasher films to psychological haunts and colorful teen adventures to exciting creature features. Halloween is a time to embrace the weird and scary, and there's no better way than turning down the lights and turning on a movie.
Blu-ray offers high-quality audio and video, providing fans a chance to become immersed in the spirit of the holiday, regardless of their tolerance for blood, gore and scares. Here are the best Halloween and horror films to watch on Blu-ray, with a little something for all tastes.
Best Blu-ray Halloween movies
"The Witch": available at Amazon
This terrifying tale is filled with dread and tension, leaving viewers wondering what exactly lurks in a nearby forest. Set in 17th-century New England, a family is banished from their town and sets up on the outskirts of the woods. When a newborn baby disappears, the young siblings suspect a witch. This film marks the debut of Anya Taylor-Joy, who plays the level-headed Thomasin trying to keep together her family, which includes young fraternal twins who seem to communicate with a goat called Black Phillip.
"Train to Busan": available at Amazon
There is no shortage of zombie movies, but "Train to Busan" offers an impressive blend of heart, violence and suspense. When an outbreak ravages a city, a wild ride ensues on a train as passengers fight the undead inside and out; the zombies in this beloved Korean horror film are fast and ruthless as our heroes try to figure out whether to stay on or get off and how exactly to survive.
"Evil Dead": available at Amazon
"Evil Dead" is a triumph of gore and camp, and while it's an iconic film, this 2013 remake is surprisingly worthy. It does away with all the silliness and cheese from the 1981 movie and replaces it with nonstop violence and blood. It doesn't supplant the original but offers a different vision, including a finale where it literally rains blood
"The Babadook": available at Amazon
Like zombie films, there are plenty of offerings from around the world of tales about the boogeyman, a frequent Halloween visitor. "The Babadook," though, tops the list with its chilling atmosphere and serious scares. It walks the perfect balance between waiting to show the actual terror and making the payoff terrifying as anything on screen.
"ParaNorman": available at Amazon
For something a little lighter, this stop-motion animated lark by Laika Studios is a colorful celebration of friendship and condemnation of the power of fear. The titular youngster Norman can see dead people — but they're all pretty nice and friendly! After reading from a mysterious book, he accidentally raises the dead, though they're not all as they seem. As a mob of townspeople battles the zombies, Norman and friends uncover the reason why they're here and the "witch" at the center of it all. This film may startle some youngsters but appeals to kids and adults alike.
"The Ring": available at Amazon
This is definitely not a kids' movie. Filled with terrifying images, gruesome deaths and a ticking clock that keeps the tension high, "The Ring" is a superb horror film from start to finish. After watching a creepy video, a phone call alerts viewers they have seven days to live. How they die, revealed in a terrifying third act, is chilling and something you can't unsee. You may not want to answer the phone after watching.
"The Cabin in the Woods": available at Amazon
This film took a couple of years to finally get released after being made, but when it did, it became a wildly entertaining and beloved horror-comedy classic. It simultaneously subverts and embraces a classic premise: attractive college friends take to a cabin in the woods. It boasts standard slasher tropes, but the audience is immediately put on their heels in the opening sequence where a pair of office workers — the hilarious Bradley Whitford and Richard Jenkins — joke about their curious job. The movie more than pays off in a blood-soaked, creature-filled finale — and a delightful cameo.
"Scream" 3-Movie Collection: available at Amazon
This classic trilogy set a new standard for slasher films in the '90s, welcoming the familiar beats while also pointing out some absurdities. There was a lot of metacommentary going on as well as a lengthy list of characters leaving audiences to wonder who's behind the mask. It may not be as scary today, but it's still a satisfying Halloween trip.
"The Exorcist": available at Amazon
An iconic scary movie, "The Exorcist" is a triumph of dramatic horror. It serves as the foundation for so many other similar films, but few can come close to recreating the intimacy and sheer terror in this story about a possessed young girl.
"Halloween" Two-Movie Collection: available at Amazon
No Halloween season would be complete without watching at least one of the films named after the spooky holiday. Since the first film in 1978, the "Halloween" franchise has taken on a few different tones; while it doesn't always make sense, there is certainly something charming about earlier iterations — and something uncomfortable about the latest ones. Fans can get ready for the forthcoming entry, "Halloween Kills," by embracing two of the classics that came before it for a proper movie marathon.
"Rocky Horror Picture Show": available at Amazon
This iconic musical has long been a staple of Halloween time and admittedly is best watched in a large group of people where fans can sing along, chime in and throw confetti, toilet paper and rice. Still, this cult classic film is a delight to watch every season, with catchy songs, stunning outfits and endless absurdity. Just hit "play" and do the time warp again!
"It Follows": available at Amazon
Latest Consumer Reviews
This inventive film takes a sentiment of past slasher films and makes it the central conceit: teens should not have sex. We don't know exactly how it started, but we quickly find out that someone is cursed, and the only way to get rid of it is to pass it on to someone else through intimate relations; if they die though, the curse reverts back to the previous person. It's a chilling premise executed wonderfully. And the curse? Someone is coming to kill you, but that someone takes any form, and they are slowly making their way to you one step at a time.

We want to open a site. With a limited number of places though, but with good and spacious bathroom. That requires a lot of thinking. Here an impression.
It all starts with the foundation. After a veritable blueprint and a gripper that digs the hole in the ground, it is fitting and measuring. It looks like this. So a lot of ground with some – carefully measured – wood.
Then comes the stage that the first concrete truck (for this project) drive onto the grounds and the sides are injected with concrete. On top concrete blocks are cemented.
The edges are firm enough to hold them to rest, and which in turn are the basis of the "sandwich" the concrete beams: very thick Styrofoam pieces that form an insulating layer.
Here and stabbing tubes and pipes up: the removal of toilets, showers, and, as far as the brasserie, the kitchen. The floor is in fact embedded for the entire building at once.
Another layer of concrete over it (so again a fewtrucks withconcrete …) and youspended a lot of time and money and more …. back to the level where you started. But: you will have a solid foundation for your future plans! On this basis, carefully plotted the various components to come.
And then it's time for the first vertical elements: the walls. These are made by making use of wood beams, which can be screwed on both sides. Panels having a frame. Here the first piece.
As it continues to grow further. Beams, panels, doors. Largely only put together by Harry. Sometimes with a hand help. However, source and drain also can not wait endlessly. Although there are no campers, but we ourselves as caravan dwellersneeds also a shower and toilet.
So supply pipes hot and cold water, with all the soldering that comes with it, is soon on the program. And do not forget: placing a heater!
But hanging a boiler is not so simple, because such a thing considering weights a lot. Of course, there must also be a lead back. And there must be something with drains. That means digging.
With a spade is impossible. However, even for an excavator Harry is not afraif.
Finally there is a toilet and a shower, both in primitive form but giant functional. And each with a provisional roof!
There are now so many sides that it has become a real building. We ourselves are already quite impressed. This is the side where the brasserie is fixed in the future.
Then it's time for a new dimension: the roof. First, of course, measured out what the middle and with an upright bar – well braced – the height of the ridge beam is determined.
And, really it seems: the panels on the roof. Benefits: Now everything can be put away dry underneath. Thetemporarry roofs of the shower and toilet canbe off – just in time because in the end they werenot in optimal condition anymore. And Harry can now continue working in the building without having to stand in the blazing sun!
Inside there is also the a lot of things to do. Between the laundry/washingplaces and other sanitair comes a separation. Not completely closed, but with playful openings.
Bovenstaand gebouw is leuk, maar is slechts de helft van het uiteindelijke gebouw. De fundering is dubbel zo groot omdat ook de brasserie er op moet komen. Dus daar gebeurt hetzelfde, maar dan slimmer. Het geraamte is op de grond "prefab" gemaakt, zodat het in 1x overeind gezet kon worden.
De deur erin zetten is nog wel een klus want die weegt nogal wat. Gelukkig hebben we wat extra (sterke) handen om ons daarbij te helpen.
De ramen zijn geplaatst en ook hier komt natuurlijk weer een zelfde dak op. Waar een dak is, is een vloer. Of althans, als het er niet is moet het er komen.
Er zit even tijd tussen, maar uiteindelijk is de vloer betegeld en ziet het er zo uit.
De keuken is even provisorisch in gebruik geweest en daarna weer helemaal leeggehaald. Ten eerste om de vloer te tegelen, zoals hier boven te zien is. Ten tweede om de wanden van het kookgedeelte te tegelen. Mooi dat dat klaar is, nu kan alles wat daar staat op zijn plek blijven.
Om het gebouw heen is de grond zo ongeveer omgeploegd door alle vrachtauto's die materialen hebben aangeleverd, beton hebben gestort etc. Dus daar moet iets mee. Wat doe je dan? Nog maar eens een vrachtwagen bestellen.
In dit geval om te zorgen dat de boel opknapt. En dat is gelukt!
Dan is er nog iets wat van belang is op de camping: elektriciteit. Er gaat hier al genoeg bovengronds dus we hadden bedacht om dat maar onder de grond te stoppen. Het is maar goed dat er nog geen gasten zijn want je zou er van ontmoedigd raken! Gelukkig groeien de geulen ook weer snel vol.
En dan: het sanitair zelf, want daarvoor hebben we immers een sanitairgebouw gemaakt. Onder het eerste afdak zijn de (af)wasplekken te vinden.
Een deur verderop is nu 1 douche klaar…..
…. en er zijn wastafels.
Verder zijn er 2 toiletten.
Helemaal af is het nog niet, maar het vordert en het voldoet prima zo, ook als de camping vol is. Wordt vervolgd!


PHOENIX - The Browns figure that Johnny Manziel has had enough hard knocks in the last year of his life, they don't want to add another.
That's why the team spoke with NFL Films at the league's Annual Meeting this week and said they are not volunteering to be featured on the HBO program "Hard Knocks" which chronicles one team through training camp.
Manziel is currently in a rehab facility and has been since Jan. 28. He is expected to rejoin the team for the start of offseason workouts on April 20, but Browns head coach Mike Pettine said no definite date has been set.
Clearly, though, the Browns expect Manziel back. And they expect to protect him from the glare of "Hard Knocks."
"When we decided not to volunteer for 'Hard Knocks,' we discussed everything that was involved with it," Pettine said. "[Manziel] is certainly something we needed to consider."
Pettine has been through the "Hard Knocks" grinder. He was an assistant on the Jets when they were featured on the show in 2010.
"Being a part of 'Hard Knocks,' having been there, knowing they're going to look to cover the team's biggest current storylines, it's obvious that he would be a point of attention," he said.
The NFL does have the power to force a team to participate on the program if there are no volunteers. The Browns are one of the teams that could become unwilling reality stars. Perhaps the lure of Manziel will draw producers in, even though the Browns are trying to keep them away.
Pettine smiled but declined to say how he would handle being forced to be on the show.
"That's a hypothetical," he said.

In every town you will find cat rescuers / sanctuaries who choose to act independently of their local charities.
These people receive no funding or help from the registered charities and therefore their resources are sorely stretched in the need to feed and pay the vet bills of the animals in their care.
Rarely would they be able to afford such luxuries as Microchip scanners or basic equipment such as cat traps etc., which would greatly speed up the process of reuniting many stray pets with their owners.
If you could spare a pound or two, please use the paypal link below indicating that payment is a donation where appropriate or send for our address.
We hope to be able to buy Microchip Scanners for those who need them.

This week's episode of The Walking Dead may have been the most consequential episode of the series in nine years. Rick Grimes exited the series; as we predicted, Rick didn't die, he only left for feature-film spin-offs (although, that wasn't the ending they originally had in mind); we got a clue as to Heath's whereabouts; and we got a huge time jump that introduced an older Judith Grimes, Magna and her group.
So much happened during the episode and after it that another major The Walking Dead story got buried in all the excitement. Last night's episode was also officially Lauren Cohan's last episode, too (at least for now). When The Walking Dead returns next week, seven years into the future, Maggie Rhee will no longer be on the show (or running The Hilltop).


When you go over to your friend's house to show off some new goodies.
Raych put me in front of the lens impromptu and took a few snaps on her film camera that I love.
Thank you :) I love pairing them with heels now!
Great pics, and lovely heels!

Sir James Fownes Somerville GCB GBE DSO (* 17. Juli 1882 in Weybridge, Surrey; † 19. März 1949 in Dinder, Somerset) war ein berühmter britischer Flottenadmiral während des Zweiten Weltkriegs.

Leben
Somerville entstammte der englischen Gentry und war der zweite Sohn des Arthur Fownes Somerville, Gutsherr von Dinder House in Somerset.

Er begann seine Offizierslaufbahn bei der Royal Navy 1897 als Kadett auf dem Britannia Royal Naval College in Dartmouth. Sein Jahrgangskamerad war Andrew Browne Cunningham. 1898 wurde er als Midshipman der HMS Magnificent zugeteilt. Auf den verschiedensten Schiffen tat er anschließend Dienst im Mittelmeer, dem Pazifik und dem Chinesischen Meer. 1901 wurde er zum Sub-Lieutenant und 1904 zum Lieutenant befördert. 1904 wurde er zur Waffenschule HMS Vernon versetzt, wo er 1907 eine Ausbildung zum Torpedospezialisten abschloss. Zu dieser Zeit interessierte er sich auch für die neue Technik der drahtlosen Telegrafie, woraufhin er auf unterschiedlichen Schiffen als Funkoffizier diente.

1913 heiratete Somerville Mary Kerr Main, mit der er einen Sohn und eine Tochter hatte.

Während des Ersten Weltkriegs war er zunächst im Mittelmeer stationiert und nahm an der Seeunterstützung der Schlacht von Gallipoli teil. 1915 wurde er zum Commander befördert sowie 1916 als Companion des Distinguished Service Order ausgezeichnet und mentioned in despatches.

1921 wurde er zum Captain befördert. Er befehligte zwischen 1923 und 1929 die Schlachtschiffe HMS Benbow, HMS Barham und HMS Warspite. Von 1925 bis 1927 war Somerville Direktor der Nachrichtenabteilung der Admiralität. 1931 führte er zusammen mit Captain John Tovey die Untersuchungen der Invergordon-Meuterei durch.

Nach einem Kommando über den Kreuzer HMS Norfolk erhielt Somerville 1935 die Beförderung zum Rear-Admiral der Mittelmeerflotte. Während des Spanischen Bürgerkriegs diente er als britischer Verbindungsoffizier vor der spanischen Küste. 1937 wurde er zum Vice-Admiral befördert. Anschließend führte ihn sein Weg als Oberbefehlshaber der East Indies Station nach Asien. Kurz danach wurde ihm allerdings nahegelegt, krankheitsbedingt den Dienst zu quittieren, da fälschlicherweise angenommen wurde, er habe Tuberkulose.

Während des Zweiten Weltkriegs arbeitete Somerville zunächst als Radiokommentator, bevor die Admiralität ihn bat, den Fortschritt beim Einbau von Radaranlagen in britische Schiffe zu überwachen. Als freiwilliger Helfer unterstützte er Admiral Bertram Ramsay bei der Evakuierung der Truppen aus Dünkirchen im Mai und Juni 1940. Ende desselben Jahres übertrug ihm die Admiralität das Kommando über die Force H in Gibraltar, deren erster Auftrag die Zerstörung der vichy-französischen Flotte bei Mers-el-Kébir in Algerien (Operation Catapult) war. Außerdem diente das Geschwader als Begleitschutz für Konvois im Atlantik und nach Malta. Der wohl spektakulärste Einsatz war die Verfolgung und Versenkung der Bismarck im Mai 1941.

1942 bis 1944 diente Somerville als Oberkommandierender der Eastern Fleet und wurde zum Admiral befördert. Nachdem er zunächst auf Ceylon (Sri Lanka) sein Hauptquartier hatte, zog er seine Einheiten nach dem japanischen Vorstoß im April 1942 nach Ostafrika zurück. Erst 1944 konnte er mit seinen Verbänden wieder in die Offensive gehen, nachdem seine Flotte deutlich verstärkt worden war. Von 1944 bis 1945 führte er die britische Delegation bei den Combined Chiefs of Staff in Washington an. Am 8. Mai 1945 wurde er zum Admiral of the Fleet befördert.

Nach Kriegsende zog sich Somerville auf seinen Familiensitz Dinder House in Somerset zurück, wo kurz darauf seine Frau verstarb. Er selbst starb am 19. März 1949.

UK coronavirus variant widespread in Houston wastewater, health department says
By Barbi Barbee
FOX 26 Houston
Wastewater testing for COVID-19 variant in City of Houston
Dr. David Persse, chief medical officer for the City of Houston, discusses the results of wastewater testing for COVID-19.
HOUSTON - The UK coronavirus variant has been detected at most wastewater treatment plants in Houston, suggesting "ongoing and uncontrolled community spread" of the strain, health officials say.
According to the Houston Health Department, samples collected on February 22 detected the variant called B.1.1.7 at 31 of the city's 39 wastewater treatment plants. That was an increase from February 8 when it was detected at 21 of the plants.
RELATED: Study finds new UK coronavirus variant is 'substantially' more transmissible
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the UK variant spreads more easily and quickly than other variants.
"The prevalence of the U.K. variant in our wastewater shows it's actively spreading in our city," said Dr. David Persse, chief medical officer for the City of Houston. "This is another clear indication that we must continue to mask up, practice social distancing, wash our hands, get tested and, get vaccinated when possible."
The health department says about 19 percent of the wastewater samples collected on February 22 detected the UK variant.
The results of the wastewater testing were announced days before Texas is set to lift statewide COVID-19 restrictions including business capacity limits and a mask mandate.

"I am concerned about this new data on the UK strain of the virus in Houston, especially at a time when the State of Texas is easing mandates on measures proven to reduce transmission and ultimately save lives," said Mayor Sylvester Turner. "Despite the mixed messaging, this is a clear indication that it is too soon to stop requiring masks in public places. I urge all Houstonians to continue masking up to protect their families and community."
The Houston Health Department and Houston Water started testing the city's wastewater in May 2020 for the original strain of the virus to more quickly identify emerging outbreaks and pinpoint precise locations for interventions to break chains of transmission.
The project is a collaboration between the Houston Health Department and leading wastewater and data scientists from Rice University and Baylor College of Medicine.

Officials say people who have COVID-19 shed the virus in their feces, even if they don't have symptoms.
The health department says wastewater sample results are pending for other highly transmissible variants, including the South Africa, Brazil, and California variants.
Nine cases of the UK variant, one case of the South African variant, two cases of the Brazil variant, and 11 cases of the California variant are currently confirmed in Houston. The health department says not all laboratories test for variant strains, and those that do have limited capacity.

Pristine 'Super Mario 64' Breaks Video Game Auction Record With $1.56 Million
Sealed copy of 1996 game quickly shatters rare Legend of Zelda's two-day-old record
Less than two days after a rare sealed copy of The Legend of Zelda broke the record for most expensive video game sold at auction, a pristine unopened copy of Super Mario 64 toppled that record Sunday with a $1,560,000 high bid.
The sealed copy of the 1996 video game was notable for receiving a 9.8 A++ Wata grading, the highest possible rating. "Well — we're a bit speechless on this one," Heritage Auctions wrote of the item. "What can we even say that would do this copy the justice it deserves? The cultural significance of this title and its importance to the history of video games is paramount, and the condition of this copy is just so breathtaking that we're really at a loss here. If you have had your heart set on obtaining the highest graded copy of the single best-selling video game on the Nintendo 64 — the first 3D adventure of Nintendo's mascot, Mario — we only have one piece of advice: this is not an opportunity to waste."

— Heritage Auctions (@HeritageAuction) July 11, 2021
On Friday, a sealed copy of The Legend of Zelda — one of the earliest-known produced variants of the beloved Nintendo game — first shattered the record for most expensive video game when it sold at auction for $870,000.
The previous record was set just three months earlier when an unopened copy of Super Mario Bros. sold at auction for $660,000 in April. All three records were established during sales by Heritage Auctions.
"The Legend of Zelda marks the beginning of one of the most important sagas in gaming; its historical significance can't be understated," Valarie McLeckie, Heritage's video game specialist, said in a statement.
While the sealed copy only received a Wata grading of 9.0 — lower than the 9.6 for the record-breaking Mario — according to the auction house, the scarcity of this sealed Legend of Zelda made it a "true collector's piece."
"This is the only copy from one of the earliest production runs that we've ever had the opportunity to offer, and, possibly will have the opportunity to offer, for many years to come," Heritage Auctions said of the item.
"Considering this variant was only produced for a few months in late 1987 before it was ultimately replaced by the 'Rev-A' variant in early 1988, this statement likely comes as no surprise to collectors. Only one other variant precedes the offered 'NES R' variant and that is the 'NES TM' variant, which is the true first production run. However, it is also widely believed that only a single sealed 'NES TM' example exists, and there is no telling whether or not that copy will ever come to market. Essentially, this copy is the earliest sealed copy one could realistically hope to obtain."
This variant of Legend of Zelda is only one of two sealed copies known to have been evaluated by video game grading company Wata.
"I had a lot of confidence in this game, and, yet, I still feel like the reality of today's bidding exceeded my vision of how it would play out," McLeckie added. "Making history is never an easy thing. I'm just really proud we got to be part of this yet again."

Most of us know it's against the law to use a smartphone behind the wheel – but what about a smartwatch?
A Pincourt man learned the hard way that police won't tolerate those either.
Jeffrey Macesin received a $120 ticket and four demerit points after he was pulled over by the Surete du Quebec for wearing a smartwatch.
Macesin said he was shocked when he was pulled over because he didn't think he was breaking the law.
The self-described gadget lover said he thought he was permitted to watch his new Apple Watch while driving, so long as he wasn't tapping away on his smartphone.
"I have it in the bag charging while the auxiliary cable is plugged in to the radio and this controls my phone to play the music. So I was changing songs with my hand on the steering wheel," said Macesin, who was leaving Pincourt heading to Highway 20.
"Going towards Vaudreuil, there was a cop car behind me and he didn't have his lights on yet, but then he turned them on and I thought maybe he just wanted me to get out of the way. I was just confused," he said.
"No person may, while driving a road vehicle, use a hand-held device that includes a telephone function."
Macesin argues that technically he wasn't using or holding a phone.
"It's not so much handheld. It's a watch. You know, it's on my wrist. That's where it gets controversial. It's like, 'Is it? Is it not?' but I think this needs to be talked about," he said.
Lawyer Avi Levy specializes in fighting cases involving traffic violations.
"I knew it was just a question of time before we got a case like this, but it definitely won't be the last," said Levy, who said the wording of the Quebec Highway Safety Code leaves smart watches in a grey area.
"I'm not convinced that the Apple Watch itself is a phone. It's rather a Bluetooth device that communicates a telephone signal from the phone and it has been established in the law that you're allowed to use Bluetooth devices and it doesn't constitute an infraction," he said.
Macesin is contesting his ticket and is considering hiring a lawyer to represent him in the case.
Jeffrey Macesin was shocked to get ticketed for using his smartwatch while driving.

Jeremiah 22:1 ←
Yahweh said, "Go down to the house of the king of Judah, and speak this word there:
'Hear Yahweh's word, king of Judah, who sits on David's throne—you, your servants, and your people who enter in by these gates.
Yahweh says: "Execute justice and righteousness, and deliver him who is robbed out of the hand of the oppressor. Do no wrong. Do no violence to the foreigner, the fatherless, or the widow. Don't shed innocent blood in this place.
For if you do this thing indeed, then kings sitting on David's throne will enter in by the gates of this house, riding in chariots and on horses—they, their servants, and their people.
But if you will not hear these words, I swear by myself," says Yahweh, "that this house will become a desolation." ' "
For Yahweh says concerning the house of the king of Judah: "You are Gilead to me, the head of Lebanon. Yet surely I will make you a wilderness, cities which are not inhabited.
I will prepare destroyers against you, everyone with his weapons, and they will cut down your choice cedars, and cast them into the fire.
"Many nations will pass by this city, and they will each ask his neighbor, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this great city?'
Then they will answer, 'Because they abandoned the covenant of Yahweh their God, worshiped other gods, and served them.' "
Jeremiah 22:10 ←
Don't weep for the dead. Don't bemoan him; but weep bitterly for him who goes away, for he will return no more, and not see his native country.
For Yahweh says touching Shallum the son of Josiah, king of Judah, who reigned instead of Josiah his father, and who went out of this place: "He won't return there any more.
But he will die in the place where they have led him captive. He will see this land no more."
"Woe to him who builds his house by unrighteousness, and his rooms by injustice; who uses his neighbor's service without wages, and doesn't give him his hire;
who says, 'I will build myself a wide house and spacious rooms,' and cuts out windows for himself, with a cedar ceiling, and painted with red.
"Should you reign because you strive to excel in cedar? Didn't your father eat and drink, and do justice and righteousness? Then it was well with him.
He judged the cause of the poor and needy; so then it was well. Wasn't this to know me?" says Yahweh.
But your eyes and your heart are only for your covetousness, for shedding innocent blood, for oppression, and for doing violence."
Therefore Yahweh says concerning Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah: "They won't lament for him, saying, 'Ah my brother!' or, 'Ah sister!' They won't lament for him, saying 'Ah lord!' or, 'Ah his glory!'
He will be buried with the burial of a donkey, drawn and cast out beyond the gates of Jerusalem."
"Go up to Lebanon, and cry out. Lift up your voice in Bashan, and cry from Abarim; for all your lovers have been destroyed.
I spoke to you in your prosperity, but you said, 'I will not listen.' This has been your way from your youth, that you didn't obey my voice.
The wind will feed all your shepherds, and your lovers will go into captivity. Surely then you will be ashamed and confounded for all your wickedness.
Inhabitant of Lebanon, who makes your nest in the cedars, how greatly to be pitied you will be when pangs come on you, the pain as of a woman in travail!
"As I live," says Yahweh, "though Coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judah were the signet on my right hand, I would still pluck you from there.
I would give you into the hand of those who seek your life, and into the hand of them of whom you are afraid, even into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
I will cast you out with your mother who bore you into another country, where you were not born; and there you will die.
But to the land to which their soul longs to return, there they will not return."
Is this man Coniah a despised broken vessel? Is he a vessel in which no one delights? Why are they cast out, he and his offspring, and cast into a land which they don't know?
O earth, earth, earth, hear Yahweh's word!
Yahweh says, "Record this man as childless, a man who will not prosper in his days; for no more will a man of his offspring prosper, sitting on David's throne and ruling in Judah."


A government shutdown can be an unpredictable and trying time for the members of a federal employee union. Whether they're on temporary leave or deemed "essential," they aren't being paid — despite the ongoing financial demands of everyday life.
In these instances, the union becomes a vital lifeline and should be prepared not only to push out updates on the shutdown and providing contact information for critical services, but also to answer questions and offer as much assistance as possible.
A shutdown occurs when regular congressional appropriations lapse. At this time, federal personnel fall into one of two categories: nonessential and essential/excepted. Nonessential employees are placed on temporary leave and cannot conduct normal work duties until the shutdown ends.
The federal employee union members considered essential are those responsible for conducting the duties necessary for protecting human life and property. Examples include federal law enforcement and correctional officers, Transportation Security Administration workers and Border Patrol. These employees are expected to report to work and, by law, are prohibited from striking or taking time off. According to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), an excepted employee who refuses to report to work "will be considered to be absent without leave (AWOL) and will be subject to any consequences that may follow," including disciplinary action or termination.
Neither nonessential nor essential workers receive a regular paycheck during a shutdown, and Congress must pass legislation to provide back pay.
Maintaining two-way communication with your members is essential both during and after a shutdown. You can't get them back on the job, but you can proactively arm your members with the information they need to make the shutdown as bearable as possible.
Start by providing information on the benefits your members are entitled to during a shutdown, whether they're offered directly through the union or a partner organization. Motivate members to seek out the assistance they need by providing information on local food banks and child care networks, and encourage them to contact credit card companies, mortgage lenders and banks to request leniency until the government reopens.
Your members are entitled to apply for unemployment and Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits, although they should be cautioned that they may be required to pay back any unemployment benefits they receive and must immediately report SNAP income changes once the shutdown ends.
The union should be prepared to provide regular updates (via email and on a website) alerting members to any bills being considered in Congress, including those to reopen the government or provide back pay. It is also vital that members be kept apprised of their rights during and after a shutdown and, especially if they're essential, reminded that they're expected to be on the job. You can also direct members to the OPM's furlough and pay guidance.
When the government reopens, provide regular updates on when members can expect back pay, if it's being made available. But above all, make sure your members know that the union is there to support them.
While it might not seem like the most pressing issue to government workers in the moment, ensure that your members know how to access services to address any long-term psychological concerns. A study published in 2018 in the Journal of Career Development looked at federal workers after the 2013 16-day shutdown and found that it "decreased life satisfaction and increased work-family conflict and physical, cognitive, and emotional burnout 5 weeks after the shutdown ended."
Members may be focused on answering backlogged emails and digging out of the work that amassed while they were away, but urge them to take time to recharge outside of the office. Offer them contact information for government or union resources for psychological assistance and prompt them to take advantage of what's available.
Many federal employees see their jobs as a calling. They deeply believe in the importance of public service, and when that's threatened, they're likely to turn to their trusted union leaders for guidance and assistance. Be ready with the information members need to support themselves personally and professionally.


Ever had a Zotz that tastes like Bubble Gum?
We Gurus love the Zots. We like the candy that isn't Zotz but TASTES like Zotz. We love European fake Zotz.
I think yr getting my drift.
So I was in France this week and there was a container filled with these little Bobblizz Bomb rascals from Lutti, and although I assumed they'd be lame, I should have known better because they were French and the French people make good food.
Which taste like bubble gum. I mean EXACTLY like bubble gum. But they are hard as nails. And they don't become chewy. They just crumble. With a fizzy center. That tastes just like Zotz.
I brought a bunch home and for some stupid reason I'm giving most to Jonny. I'm not smart.
Because you like Zotz too. And all the candies that taste like Zotz.

β -NMR has been used to study isolated spin polarized Li + 8 in bulk crystalline GaAs. At low temperatures a large fraction (at least 70%) of the Li end up in locations with cubic symmetry (e.g. a tetrahedral interstitial site). The linewidth of the β -NMR Li + 8 resonance increases dramatically above 150 K, and reaches a maximum at about 290 K. These results are consistent with a site change from an interstitial to a substitutional beginning at ≈ 150 K . The field dependence of the linewidth at 100 K is also discussed.

Your Mortgage Interest Rate is determined by several factors when applying for a home loan. When purchasing or refinancing a home, the interest rate on a mortgage will play an important role in how much you will have to budget each month. It is important that one is aware of how these rates are set so that they will be able to obtain the best rate being offered that day. Understanding rates can make the difference in saving hundreds or even thousands of dollars each year.
Lets explore how and why the mortgage interest rate is determined at the time of locking your rate.
The best scenario to obtain the lowest mortgage interest rate when purchasing or refinancing a home can be placed in two categories.
As you can see what determines what your mortgage interest rate is when applying for a home loan. When you hear on the radio or find surfing the web may be mis-leading because with these 11 factors, a lending professional will need to review you complete loan application and discuss your options before a final rate is presented.
I encourage you to call me at 909-503-5600 to ensure we maximize the very best loan product based on your current situation and if we need to, lets work on improving that situation to obtain the lowest mortgage rate.

Society's Success Builds on the Legacy of Its Elders
By Idriss Jazairy	Reprint | | Print |
Ambassador Idriss Jazairy, is Executive Director of the Geneva Centre for Human Rights Advancement and Global Dialogue
GENEVA, Oct 2 2017 - On the occasion of the 2017 International Day of Older Persons, the Executive Director of the Geneva Centre for Human Rights Advancement and Global Dialogue Ambassador Idriss Jazairy urged the world society to facilitate the increased participation and involvement of elderly people in societies.
Idriss Jazairy
He noted that the "world is witnessing a demographic shift in which the world's elderly population – aged 65 and above – has nearly doubled in the last 50 years. The World Bank estimates that nearly 10% of the world population are aged above 65 with the highest share – approximately 1/5 of the population –in North America and in Europe."
The Geneva Centre's Executive Director deplored the misleading and flawed narrative depicting elders as a burden to modern societies. Ambassador Jazairy mentioned that the Arabic and Islamic traditions embrace elders as a social asset – enjoying widespread respect and esteem within societies. That tradition could serve as a source of inspiration for advanced societies:
"The Arabic and Islamic traditions consider ageing as a source of wisdom for which elders gain more respect and admiration from other social components the older they get. In certain advanced societies, ageing is considered as a handicap excluding elderly people from meaningful participation in societies and at times relegating them to geriatric homes.
"The world society needs to develop a model that gives space for elders to contribute to the well-being of our modern societies. International decision-makers have spoken for decades about the need to address the 'greying of societies' implying that elder persons constitute a burden to modern societies.
"Instead of embracing our elders who sowed the seeds of our modern society's successes, the status of elders in many societies is becoming that of a forgotten and marginalized segment of population. Exclusion and rejection of elders are becoming the norms in many parts of the world. This is civilisation in reverse.
"Isolation and remoteness of elders will not enable the society to harness their wisdom and intellect. A new social model needs to be identified in which elders are allowed to participate in, and contribute to, the economic development of our societies; they should not be excluded from the workforce by 'ageism.'
"In addition to the economic involvement of elders, governments must promote policies enabling meaningful involvement of elders in all spheres of society encompassing cultural, social, health and political spheres in line with the provisions set forth in the Sustainable Development Goals of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development.
"Elders must have a central position in the family and children should be obligated by law to provide support and protection for their parents. Society's success builds on the legacy of its elders. Neglecting approximately 1/10 of the world population will not contribute to a sustainable future," concluded the Executive Director of the Geneva Centre.

Khrustalyov, My Car! Review
Posted by Andrew Winter Published
Aleksei German's 1998 film makes an interesting companion piece with The Death Of Stalin (2017). Set at the same time – in the days immediately before and after the passing of the Soviet dictator – both are blackly comedic, savagely satirical and resoundingly bleak. But whilst Armando Iannucci's film navigates the lunacy of the Soviet Union under Stalinism in a knockabout, sitcom-esque fashion, Khrustalyov, My Car! is an altogether more ferocious beast. It is a film that chills, baffles and appals, pulling you under into its heart of darkness, and holding you there for every minute of a draining two-and-a-half-hour runtime.
It's early 1953, and military surgeon General Yuri Klensky (Yuriy Tsurilo) becomes entangled in the so-called 'Doctors' Plot', when Jewish physicians of all stripes were accused by Stalin – paranoid, sociopathic, not long for this world – of scheming to kill senior Kremlin officials. The entire thing was nonsense, of course, but alcoholic, womanising Klensky (who isn't actually Jewish) soon finds himself on the run, his job and home gone, his family banished to a chaotic communal apartment. His ordeal becomes ever more brutal and surreal (early on, at the hospital where he works, he even meets his own government-sanctioned double).
Tsurilo is a great big bull of a man – with his circus strongman's moustache and bald head, he reminds me of Tom Hardy in Bronson. His sheer physicality somehow makes the pitiless dismantling of Klensky's life and self even worse – if Stalin and his thugs could drag someone such as he so low, what chance did anyone else have?
There are times during Khrustalyov, My Car! – titled after Soviet security chief Lavrentiy Beria's apocryphal first words upon hearing of Stalin's death – when you get a bit lost and fear you might not come out the other side. In that it is very much like Hard To Be A God – German's critically-adored final film from 2015 – and yet you come away admiring it and wanting to return again and again to drink in the film's heady monochrome atmosphere and many extraordinary moments.
German's work process was insanely detailed; pre-production on Khrustalyov went on for years and the director would source thousands of photographs, so he got the look and feel of 1950s Moscow just right. You see every bit of that research on screen in the costumes, the cars, the clutter.
But the tactile world German creates would be significantly diminished without Vladimir Ilin's cinematography. There are moments of austere beauty (such as the film's shimmering opening shot of a snowbound Moscow street at night), but it's the way his camera interacts with Khrustalyov's characters that really catches the eye, gliding and swooping around rooms and down corridors, as a parade of people run, dance, march, and saunter across the screen. Sometimes they look directly at the camera, making a voyeur of you. Tracking shot after tracking shot, all perfectly choreographed.
Despite the film's impressive authenticity and verisimilitude, Khrustalyov isn't social realism. In fact, it is frequently surreal, like a dark fairy tale or, more appropriately, a Kafkaesque nightmare. There's the aforementioned double, the enormous decorative birds in the Klenskys' apartment (they really are quite something), a stuffed and mounted wolf's head that, despite being dead, still unnerves. Two otherworldly young girls (Jewish twins) leap out of a cupboard – where they are being hidden from the authorities by Klensky – to continue a running battle with his son. Much like the society it depicts, Khrustalyov has a rich seam of madness running right the way through it.
Disc and extras
This is a new – and genuinely gorgeous – 2K restoration from the original negative by Arrow Films. It is presented in 1080 HD, with newly translated English subtitles.
An excellent set of extras kicks off with an insightful commentary from Daniel Bird, who produced the film's restoration. He's very good at illuminating plot points and references in Khrustalyov that might not be immediately obvious to a Western viewer. Bird also discusses the influence of Dostoevsky (and other Russian literary figures) on German's work and, most interestingly, the way the director's films and reputation were rehabilitated in the Soviet Union during Perestroika, something he wasn't particularly comfortable with.
Between Realism And Nightmare is a superb 25-minute video essay by historian and film critic Eugenie Zvonkine. It deftly explores the genesis and evolution of German's unique directorial style and features clips from several of his earlier films, including Twenty Days Without War (1977) and Trial On The Road (1986). It might actually be worth watching this before you see Khrustalyov because, although it contains spoilers, Zvonkine does a terrific job of getting to the core of what the film is actually about.
Running at 43 minutes, Diagnosis Murder sees academic Jonathan Brent analyse the Doctors' Plot in detail, examining the roots of Stalin's anti-Semitism and how that came to be weaponised. He also lays out why he believes the Soviet dictator was poisoned. I could happily listen to Brent talk about this stuff all day – his knowledge of the era is both remarkable and fascinating, and he articulates it with enthusiasm and no little humour.
There are also two interviews with German himself; one from veteran film historian and critic Ron Holloway, the other from producer Guy Séligmann. The former is from 1988 and in it the director talks about his novelist father ("He wasted his talent"), goes in depth on several of his films, and recounts various run-ins with the Soviet authorities ("War should be won by clean-shaven, beautiful, young men" was one of their diktats). The latter is most notable for its footage of German and his crew shooting early scenes from Khrustalyov in the icy Russian winter.
Additionally, you get a re-release trailer, a limited-edition 60-page booklet and a double-sided fold-out poster. In the interests of full disclosure, I haven't seen the booklet or poster, as I was only sent a disc. Even without those items, though, this is still a terrific set.
Surrealism, slapstick and brutal black comedy collide in Khrustalyov, My Car!, surely one of the most challenging and relentlessly fascinating films ever made about authoritarianism.
Khrustalyov, My Car! (1998)
Dir: Aleksey German | Cast: Aleksandr Bashirov, Mikhail Dementyev, Nina Ruslanova, Yuriy Tsurilo | Writers: Aleksey German, Joseph Brodsky (story "In a Room and a Half"), Svetlana Karmalita

Microsoft Flight Simulator X: Steam Edition
Microsoft shut down development of the long-running Flight Simulator franchise in 2009 (details here). But the simulation lives on through an agreement with Dovetail Games that allows that company to release FSX on its online Steam platform (see this item from July 2014).
Dovetail released the Steam edition this month, and the company has opened a discussion board to answer questions about the product. That online forum is the best source for details about this release of FSX and the company's plans for future development.
If you own the disc-based version of FSX and have questions about the new online product, you should start at this page. Here's Dovetails's answer to the most common question about what's new about this version:
We have made some functional changes to FSX in the development of FSX: Steam Edition, but in terms of content nothing new has been added at this time…
This is a re-release of FSX Gold Edition so you should not expect dramatic differences. However, we have updated it to include all standard Steam functionality, we've removed CD checking and combined the components of Gold Edition into a single installation. The major change we've made is in replacing the now-defunct GameSpy multiplayer systems with Steam features, enabling multiplayer to work seamlessly once again. Our aim in this first instance has been to ensure that the software will run for as many people as possible rather than radically improving or updating it.
You can find a log of significant changes that Dovetail made to the FSX code here.
The company's discussion board is also the best source for information about add-ons, hardware compatibility, and related questions.

Donald Trump took aim Wednesday at Snoop Dogg, saying the rap star would have gotten "jail time" had he pointed his gun at Barack Obama rather than the current US president in a video.
Snoop Dogg, an early figure in California gangsta rap who has mellowed in recent years, this week released a video pegged to the release of his album "Lavender" in which most actors are clowns.
"Can you imagine what the outcry would be if @SnoopDogg, failing career and all, had aimed and fired the gun at President Obama? Jail time!" Trump wrote on Twitter.
In recent years, he has shed his gangsta image, branching out into reggae, starring in multiple television series and pursuing a marijuana business.
Trump won last year's election despite widespread antipathy from the entertainment world.

Carlin-type
Sediment-hosted
The Genesis Project is located within the Basin and Range Province, a region that extends over most of Nevada and portions of adjoining states. Range-front faulting has created north-south trending fault-block mountain ranges separated by broad valley fill with unconsolidated sediment. The Carlin Trend is a north-northwest alignment of predominantly carbonatehosted gold deposits. Regional folding and thrusting placed siliceous (upper plate) rocks over carbonate (lower plate) rocks. The primary thrust surface in the area is referred to as the Roberts Mountain Thrust. The Gen Fault bisects the Genesis Project area and separates the eastern carbonate assemblage from the western siliceous assemblage.
Lower plate rocks are exposed by a combination of folding and high-angle faulting. The Genesis deposit is located within the hinge zone of the Tuscarora anticline, while the Bluestar and Bobcat deposits occur in the west and the Beast/Sold deposits on the east limb of the same anticline. Numerous dikes and sills are emplaced along bedding planes, low-angle faults, and high-angle faults. The northern portion of the Genesis deposit was intruded by the Goldstrike diorite-granodiorite sill complex.
The western part of the Project area consists primarily of eastern assemblage carbonate rocks from the Roberts Mountains, Popovich, and Rodeo Creek formations. Siliceous rocks from the Vinini Formation comprise most of the eastern part of the Project area. Sedimentary rocks in the Genesis Pit have been cut by the Gen Fault, with siliceous Vinini Formation on the east side of the fault, and carbonate Popovich and Roberts Mountains formations on the west side.
Dominant alteration associated with mineralization within the carbonates is decalcification with accompanying minor silicification, clay alteration, and quartz-sericite-pyrite alteration. Sulfide deposition accompanied these alteration events.
The Genesis project consists of Beast, Bluestar Ridge, Bobcat, Genesis, Payraise, and West Genesis. The plan is to re-start open pit mining in the area. The Genesis pit, now called Silverstar, is permitted for 650 million tons to be mined. The expansion will start in the old Genesis pit, which has a reserve of 3,000,000 ounces, and progress to West Genesis (now Goldstar) in 2014 or 2015, then to Bobcat (now Bobstar), and finally to Bluestar Ridge. The project also involves back-filling the Blue Star and Beast pits.
Approximately 450 million tons (Mt) of waste rock would be removed to extract 60Mt of ore over a twelve-year operational life. Approximately 48.3Mt of oxide leach ore would be placed on the existing North Area Leach Facility and 11.7Mt of mill and refractory ore would be hauled to Mill 5/6 in the South Operations Area.
The majority of the underground ore as well as higher-grade surface refractory ores are processed through the roaster (Mill 6), which consists of a grinding circuit, roasting circuit and a conventional carbon-in leach circuit. Mill 6 processed approximately 3.4 million tons of ore in 2016. Higher-grade surface oxide ores are processed by conventional milling and cyanide leaching at Mill 5. Additionally, Mill 5 operates as a flotation mill treating lower grade, non-carbonaceous, sulfidic refractory ore to produce a gold/pyrite concentrate. Mill 5 processed approximately 5 million tons of ore in 2016. Lower-grade surface material with suitable cyanide solubility is treated on one of four heap leach pads.
The circuits at the South Area include Mill 5, Mill 6, and two heap leach pads served by a single plant. Mill 5 is a pyrite floatation plant that processes sulfide and oxide ores that are ground in a sag mill and ball mills. The material is then sent to the floatation circuit where the sulfides are floated and dried for later processing in the autoclave or roaster. The oxide material remaining after floatation is sent to a set of carbon-in-leach (CIL) tanks for gold recovery. Mill 6 consists of a double rotating mill and a roaster; sulfide material is fed to the roaster where the sulfides are volatilized. Material leaving the roaster is sent to a set of CIL tanks at Mill 5 for processing. Tailings from both CIL circuits is combined and sent through a Caro's Acid cyanide destruction circuit before disposal in the Mill 5/6 TSF. Gold-bearing solution from the SAL (i.e., Property and Non-Property Pads) drains to a series of pregnant ponds. Solutions from the pregnant ponds are pumped via pipeline to carbon-in column (CIC) circuits at South Area plant. Loaded carbon is transferred to the carbon handling facility and refinery for further processing.
The circuits at the North Area include a heap leach pad and plant. The gold-bearing solution from the North Area Leach drains to a series of pregnant ponds. Solutions from the pregnant ponds are pumped via pipeline to CIC circuits at the North Area plant. Loaded carbon is transferred to the carbon handling facility at the South Area and refinery for further processing.

The Ann Arbor Python User Group usually meets on the first Thursday of every month, but Titus Brown was in town this week, so the meeting was moved so that he could attend and participate. Titus talked about Twill, his testing tool. You can use twill to test web apps from the command line using python-based commands, very convenient indeed. His package descended from Cory Dodt's PBP, and is based on the Python "mechanize" package.
Jason Pellerin was also at the meeting, and he talked a little bit about Nose (not much, mainly just about Titus' use of it, and the fact that Titus has extended it). Hoping he attends more frequently and does some more in-depth sessions.
The original plan, before Titus' appearance was planned, was that Bruce Webber would talk about wxPython. Instead of rescheduling his talk, Bruce and Titus both talked. It was great. I learned a ton about wxPython, and look forward to trying out some GUI programming in Python with them.

It's going to be a very cool week in Ann Arbor, next week. And no, I'm not talking about the football game.
Got some time to attend some user group meetings? Next week looks VERY cool; I just wish I could be in 2 places at the same time on Tuesday!
The following announcement is from the Michigan Python User Group on Google.
There are a couple of opportunities for people to get exposure to Python next week. First, the Python user group meeting, which is usually held on the first Thursday of each month, is being moved to Tuesday Oct. 3 for this month only, to accommodate a special guest speaker, Titus Brown, the author of the Twill testing tool. Jason Pellerin, the author of the Nose testing tool, may also be present, so this is an excellent chance for people to talk about automated testing with folks in the know.
Bruce Webber will be talking about wxPython, which is always a hot topic.

Folk/AmericanaShow ReviewsWestchester
By Rob Simakovsky	 On Feb 28, 2019
Mickey Deneher
"Our confidence is high, we're fresh off our third GRAMMY loss."
Joey Ryan, often the chattier of the Milk Carton Kids, greeted the audience with his characteristically dry, sharp humor as the duo made their second appearance at the historic Tarrytown Music Hall on February 24. On the heels of a long tour with a new, full group, Ryan and Kenneth Pattengale shed the larger band for a return to original form, featuring just two guitars and one microphone.
The well-crafted set contained a mix of songs, including those from 2018's All the Things I Did and All the Things I Didn't Do. Or, as Ryan put it to the audience, "ATTID and ATTIDD… for short." Beginning with "Hope of a Lifetime" from 2013's The Ash & Clay, the audience was lulled into silence by the Milk Carton Kid's ability to envelop a space in rich, emotional soundscapes through Pattengale's river-flow, unbounded phrasing, Ryan's understated, sturdy rhythm and the pair's seamless harmonies.
They then moved into "Mourning in America," a song which captures poignant and timely modern themes. Revealing in an interview with Entertainment Voice that the song encapsulates cultural, political and personal struggles, a tear or two was spotted while the duo crooned, "I hear their cries through my window, they're mourning again in America."
The duo was able to shift their energy from "Snake Eyes," the soft, weeping, ode to death which once brought a tear to Marcus Mumford's eye, to the rousing, joyful pace of "Girls Gather Round" and "Honey, Honey." Across each song, Pattengale's impressive lead guitar phrasing was both technical and deeply passionate. His penchant for sweeping, single-note melodies and exploring unique sonic twists by adding out-of-the-box flats, sharps and harmonics shared a particular expressive virtuosity. All the while, his playing was threaded together by Ryan's patient and supportive rhythmic root note picking and strumming.
Between songs, there was the schtick. Pattengale and Ryan have developed a reputation for combining music with the other aspects which make a performance so memorable — stage presence, banter, and maintaining a connection with the audience. Known for imbuing their shows with comedic tangents, their special chemistry in which they play off Ryan's cool, confident sarcasm and Pattengale's charming, observational wit had the audience laughing often.
This particular show included Ryan instructing the audience to put their hands up as he shared plans to include more hip-hop elements into their music (news to Pattengale), a conclusion to the tomato fruit vs. vegetable conundrum, and a particular exchange with a member of the audience accompanied by a service dog. Upon learning the dog's name was "Daniel," Pattengale quipped, "What's your son's name, Spot?"
Not that they didn't have touching, tender moments. After sharing Pattengale's recent journey in which he successfully persevered through a cancer diagnosis and long-term relationship break-up, Ryan softly suggested, "Let's play your cancer song," as they transitioned into "Sea of Roses."
The duo is supported on tour by Vera Sola, an American/Canadian singer-songwriter, poet and multi instrumentalist who delivered a passionate and powerful opening performance, drawing from the moody, fingerpicking veins of Leonard Cohen. Sharing songs from her 2018 debut release, Shades, Vera Sola stunned the audience with strong, feverish storytelling supported by her unique voice which exhibited such a smokey, precise vibrato that it almost seemed like the microphone turned on and off every other second.
The duo ended the night with an encore cover of Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here." Part of the reason the Milk Carton Kids are so enjoyable to see time after time is due to the earnestness in their desire to provide the audience with a complete experience, without asking for much in return. The only thing The Milk Carton Kids want you to do is listen, and maybe laugh, as they put everything, music and self, on display.
Catch the Milk Carton Kids in New York again later in their tour. For the first time, they'll also be working with Music Masters Camps by hosting their own summer music retreat and workshop series. Learn more about Sad Songs Summer Camp.
