BluesWax Sittin' In With Steve Freund
Freund's Road to Deeper Blues
By Bob Margolin
In 1985, I played at a birthday party for Albert King at Rockefeller's in Houston. Appearing later that night was Elvin Bishop, whom I had admired for twenty years, but never met. After my set, Elvin introduced himself by telling me where every guitar lick I'd played came from, and he was 100% correct. He knew me well even before he spoke to me, because he could hear my influences in my playing. He recognized them because as a Blues guitar player himself, he'd listened to many of the same players.
I've found that playing deep Blues on a guitar - raw soul with dark emotion - gives a player membership in an informal, unspoken "club." Deep Blues guitar players know other ones when they hear them. I felt that way when I met Steve Freund in the seventies. As soon as I heard him play I thought, "There's one..." and we've been friends ever since. The Blues we both love has been the foundation of that, but we rarely talk about it - it's just basic and "always there" like the air around us.
Listening to Steve's 2001 Delmark CD, I'll Be Your Mule, I'm impressed with his musical maturity. I can hear back to Steve's influences and inspirations through the "sieve" (Steve's word) of Steve's singing, guitar playing, songwriting, and producing. Long ago, Steve had grown enough as a player to have incorporated them into his own style. He carries on the tradition even as he expresses his own Blues. I recommend this CD to you both to enjoy Steve's performances and as a gateway to the man himself - if you love Blues too, you may want to walk along Steve's path with him.
Speaking to BluesWax, I certainly asked him about his influences and inspirations, but I've never had anyone respond with so much detail, so many names, as Steve is eager to provide. For you Blues fans and musicians who enjoy following leads from each other to musical treasures, I think you'll find that Steve's tips could literally fill the rest of your long life. Listening to Steve's music and getting to know him further through his words here would certainly show you why he was able to hang with and work with and be respected by so many of the players he mentions.
Bob Margolin for BluesWax: Let's dive into the deep stuff: you had the opportunity to play with many of the legends of Chicago Blues who are no longer physically with us. I can hear that you learned from them musically in your playing and singing and how you work on a bandstand. What were some of the social lessons you earned being around them?
Steve Freund: I came from New York City, where the gigs were few and far between, and those who had a gig held onto it with a death grip. That means other musicians hardly ever sat in on their shows, and if they did it invariably became an out-and-out head-cutting contest.
The first thing I saw in Chicago was a true musical brotherhood between these legendary figures. On any given night you might see Sunnyland Slim letting Walter Horton or Willie Dixon jam with him, or see Homesick James let Otis Rush play a few numbers. Even if they were feuding, they usually tried to make the other sound good for the sake of the music. Of course, there were times when they would sabotage each other, but the vast majority of my experience was seeing great musicians treat each other with respect.
I went, overnight, from playing on the street, to sitting in with Hubert Sumlin, Sunnyland, Eddie Shaw, and Floyd Jones. The first guy to let me sit in at a club was Homesick James, my very first night in Chicago. I will be playing a set with him at the upcoming Chicago Blues Festival.
I try to carry on the tradition of showing hospitality to my colleagues, depending of course upon the venue. I enjoy jamming with or giving my guitar to fellow musicians at the smaller club gigs, in town or on the road. This is the way I was brought up by my teachers. I also learned not to let a drunk guy play my guitar.
I also pay respect to the song, meaning I don't like to play just "a slow Blues," or just "a shuffle." I believe that good tunes, and I try to pick the good ones, have their own personality. That's why they have endured. They have a "hook." If someone calls a tune I don't know, I ask them to quickly describe it so that I can do it justice. I would rather not do a song than do one I don't know and butcher it. The souls of the authors live on in these tunes.
One of the things I would occasionally see is the leader berate one of his sidemen if there was a train wreck on one of the tunes. It really doesn't do any good to show the audience an ugly image. If someone screws up, I will wait until the break and talk to them in private, or sometimes I will whisper to them while onstage to not do that again, but I won't make a scene on the bandstand. Hell, I mess up as much as anyone!
A big social lesson I learned in Chicago was that of self-sufficiency. My teachers were mostly "country," raised in the Deep South in rural surroundings. They did everything for themselves. Somehow that do-it-yourself ethic rubbed off on me.
I learned how to repair and maintain my cars by talking to guys like Johnny Littlejohn, Pinetop Perkins,and Willie Buck; fix stuff around the house by working odd jobs with my pal Joe Charles, who is also a contractor; and, gardening by seeing all the homegrown vegetable gardens on the south and west sides of town, especially Eddie Taylor's.
As soon as I hit California I started growing my own food. To the old guys, it was all about the "hustle." You have to bring the money in somehow, preferably through your music. But the bills continue to arrive, and a penny saved is a penny earned. Sunnyland was a prime example of frugality. He always had money to get the bills paid and keep his car running, and food on the table. As I like to say, it's not how much you make but how much you keep.
BW: From Brooklyn to Chicago to the Bay Area is quite a long way - did living in those places influence your music as well? I'm asking about the cities themselves, because you obviously developed in each place...
SF: I grew up during the Doo-Wop era, in Doo-Wop and Rock 'n' Roll country. I remember the older guys singing harmony around a bonfire in the garbage can. I also distinctly remember the sounds of Pop music on the radio. It was the beginning of the Rock 'n' Roll era, and Elvis, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, et al, were on all the time.
We lived in an apartment building on East Thirteenth Street in Brooklyn, and we had a janitor living in the basement by the name of Paul. I never did get his last name. He was from Mississippi and he was just the coolest guy. I think I was around six or seven when I started hanging around with him. He kept live chickens in his apartment and he explained how he would wring their necks and cook them up, just like he did back on the farm. Of course my mother didn't like me sneaking off to his apartment, and she would go looking for me whenever my baby brother wasn't taking the center of her attention. He also had an old Victrola, and when I think back and try to remember what he played I only come up with what must have been Bessie Smith-era Blues with possibly some Jelly Roll Morton and other piano-based music. I didn't know what that was at the time, but I was hanging out with a Bluesman back then. We remained friends all the way through the sixties and maybe until 1972, then he just stopped being there anymore.
Anyway, I got into Soul music via James Brown, and also Motown, right around 1962. All through the early sixties I mainly played sports, listened to Soul, and went fishing. Then around 1968 I got into Blues somehow, during the psychedelic Hendrix/Clapton experience, like so many other kids at that time.
I have always been one to trace the roots of whatever I get into, and it was easy for me to see the direct link between James Brown and Ike and Tina and the Delta Blues.
So began my Blues experience in New York City. There wasn't much of a local scene there. I went as often as I could to the Fillmore East, Village Gate, and Bottom Line.
I saw some killer shows, most notably a triple-header of T-Bone Walker, Bobby Bland, and B.B. King. I was at the live recording Albert King did at the Fillmore. I saw the original Canned Heat, Big Brother with Janis, Lightnin' Hopkins, Sonny and Brownie, and so many others.
My "life-changing" event was seeing Willie Dixon's Chicago Blues All-Stars in 1969 at the Electric Circus. He had himself on bass, Sunnyland on piano, Big Walter on harp, Johnny Shines on guitar, and Clifton James on drums. What a band! To top it off, Otis Spann and S.P. Leary opened the show as a duo. Unreal. The great thing was that they kept the backstage door open and actually encouraged us to pop in. That is when I met Sunnyland and he left an indelible imprint on me. I was just seventeen and he gave me his card and told me to look him up when I got to Chicago, which I did seven years later.
I started playing in late 1968 and I was originally going to be a bass player. I had my eye on a $20 bass at my local music store, and got a job as a busboy to pay for it. When I had the cash in hand some days later, the bass had been sold, but in its place was a guitar of the same brand, only it had six skinny strings instead of four fat ones. Well, I bought it thinking I would learn the bass lines and get a bass later, but I just stuck with it.
My friends Ira Lew and Tommy Steinberg showed me my first chords and the "lump," or Jimmy Reed bottom part that is at the core of so many tunes, and I was off. I started picking out licks by B.B., Freddy [King], and Albert [King] as well as Lightnin', Eric, and Peter Green and tried to make sense of it all.
Ira was in, and still is in, a band called Small Time Leroy. The lead guitarist, Larry Corsa, used to blow my mind with his renditions of Fleetwood Mac and B.B. King guitar stylings. They used to rehearse in drummer Bruce Gold's basement, and while I was not good enough to actually play with them, they would let me sit and watch. Those rehearsals had a powerful impact on my drive to become a Blues guitarist. They still are active in the New York City area to this day.
Around 1971 I got turned onto Lonnie Johnson and Eddie Lang, as well as Django Rheinhardt and Stephane Grappelli. I was discovering the link between what is known as Jazz and Blues. At one time they were one and the same, but the branches of the music tree are many and I was soaking it all up. It became a weekly thing to stay out all night in the Village, and go to either the Fillmore East or one of the few clubs that had a Blues act. Any time not spent actually listening to live music was spent at the gramophone, a record store, and home of Yazoo Records. I must have spent hundreds of hours reading liner notes, climbing up the tree of Blues.
Around that time, early seventies, our reigning Blues royalty was Victoria Spivey, affectionately known as "Queenie." She surrounded herself with all the young Blues players and encouraged each and every one of us. Even though I only knew her for a short time, and before I was even good, she must have sensed that I was dedicated to the Blues, and she told her husband, Len Kunstadt, that she wanted to record me for her Spivey record label. Sadly, she passed away before she could make that happen, but I did record, with my piano buddy Professor Paul, one hot afternoon in the Brooklyn apartment they shared. To enhance the vocals, Lenny stuck a mic inside an empty facial tissue box, thereby adding some sort of reverb. That was my first time in a studio.
Around 1974 I discovered two guys in a Bleeker Street bar, the Mills Tavern; playing on the pool table, atop a sheet of plywood, were Bill Dicey and Robert Ross. I had seen Bill some years before playing harp with John Hammond. He and guitarist Robert Ross had a steady weekend gig there and that became my new hang. In fact, these guys were the first to actually ever let me play in a band situation, and I think they even gave me a few bucks after awhile. I learned a lot from the guys, and Robert and I eventually became good friends and buskers, playing on the streets of Greenwich Village. On the next block you might see Sugar Blue and Paul Cooper doing the same thing. I also played on the street with my harp playin' buddies Elliot Cohen and Spencer Jarrett. Spencer found his way to the Bay Area a few years ago and leads a band of his own and also works with the Gospel Travelers. Without this experience I would not have had a chance when I hit Chicago in 1976.
Chicago was wide open and had over forty Blues clubs, several staying open until 4 a.m. and 5 on Saturdays, seven nights a week. It was definitely where I wanted to be. My musical style changed dramatically in a very short time. When my friend Paul Cooper and I first drove out there in June of 1976, all I could really do was take decent solos in the modern string-bending style, and, as I'll talk about later, I had to learn how to backup harp players, horn players, and pianists.
Hanging out with Sunnyland at his gigs, his table was usually filled with luminaries such as Fred Below, Floyd Jones, Little Brother [Montgomery], Willie Dixon ...
We used to see Robert Lockwood, Jr. when he would come through town, and he and Louis Myers really brought a unique blend of Jazz and Blues to the bandstand. A big moment came for me when I finally went after that style, learning "Hold It," "Honky Tonk," "Red Top," "One O'Clock Jump," "Song For My Father," and stuff like that. When Below heard me play "Red Top," he told me in private that, "Now your musical life will change forever, for the better."
So I have tried to carry on in the tradition of the artists who could slide between a Delta Blues and a fifties R&B style and a slashing bending solo all in one tune, blending all the roots into a hybrid so to speak. This serves me well to this day.
After almost 19 years in Chicago, I found myself semi-homeless for a while in Southern California, playing gigs with Jon Lawton and Robert Thomas down in Santa Barbara. Beautiful area, but not a Blues haven by any means. I eventually worked my way up to the Oakland-San Francisco Bay area where a bunch of people actually had heard of me, and where my old pal Harry Duncan lived. Harry had promoted many Sunnyland Slim shows in the seventies and worked for Bill Graham; Boz Scaggs, as well. I felt more at home here. Among the other musicians I hooked up with was bassist Johnny Ace, who I had seen play in New York City in the old days, and Walter Shufflesworth, who led a Soul band called The Dynatones. I had met him back in 1979 and we would run into each other in various places. Well, Walter offered me the guitar chair in the Dynatones before I even had a place to live, but I took it and started a new chapter in my life. I stayed with them for one-and-a-half years, and I had to leave because playing that music just wasn't satisfying me enough. I had to play some raw Blues.
I have made many friends here in the Bay Area, and I have worked with a myriad of artists. I have a nice little quartet and we play all around California and I also make trips and use local pickup bands. I have had pretty good luck so far in that respect. I also work with the Cathy Lemons/Johhny Ace Band, and my steady Tuesday night gig that I have been doing for the past year is at The Ivy Room, Solano and San Pablo Avenues, in Albany, California.
I did some killer high-profile gigs with Boz Scaggs in the late ninties and hope to do some more in the future. He puts together great bands. I also reacquainted myself with Mark Hummel, whom I had met back in Chicago. I did a tour with his band, and some really nice Harmonica Blowouts that he produces every year. I also produced his Tone-Cool CD, Heart Of Chicago.
I feel that California. has been good for me vocally. It has given me the chance to get my singing together without the pressure I felt in Chicago. I am more relaxed here I guess. I'd like to invite BluesWax'sreaders to keep up with me through my stevefreund.com website.
BW: It's one of the best artists websites I've ever seen - very easy to find what you're looking for without a lot of cutesy distractions. I know you spent many years playing with and being close to one of the most legendary and central figures of Chicago Blues, Sunnyland Slim. Got some good stories?
SF: Any Sunnyland story is a good story! Let's see...there was the time he sent me and a buddy to California, driving his car while he was going to fly out and meet us. He had four different-size tires on the car, and even the spare was a different size! Keeping that car in a straight line was like holding a buffalo on a leash. We had a blowout right at Bonneville Salt Flats at 4 a.m., and basically limped the rest of the way into San Francisco. I will say in his defense, once I told him about it he immediately took us to Sears and bought a new set of tires.
He had many original sayings that he would use to fit certain occasions. One of my favorites is "you can't tell what a monkey eat until he shits." There was also the now famous "gimme some brown whiskey in a dirty glass."
BW: I wrote a song called "Brown Liquor In A Dirty Glass" in the early ninties having heard Sunnyland use that phrase, or perhaps you or Ben Sandmel [drummer/writer who used to work with Sunnyland in Chicago, now lives in New Orleans] told me that Sunnyland had said it. I know the expression wasn't mine, but I wrote an original song around it. I've heard that expression used on television a couple of times too, strangely - perhaps it's an "old days" way of saying "I need to drink something strong, and I don't care what or how" that wasn't originally Sunnyland's either - we'd have to ask someone much older than us. The shitting monkey must be all Sunnyland, though...
SF: When Sunnyland wanted to describe his dislike for something, he might say, "What I think about that is what a pig thinks about Christmas. Someone is gonna eat him anyway."
One time we went down to visit him and he had a few of his friends down there all playing poker. Slim had on his underpants, a sleeveless white undershirt and a plastic brim around his head, and he was selling them beers out of a mini-fridge he kept by his side. What a scene!
As far as I am concerned, he was psychic. He could tell what I was thinking sometimes. We spent many hours together. One night after a gig, as I was driving him home, I remember thinking about Big Bill Broonzy to myself. As we passed North Pond, a small lake in Lincoln Park, he turned to me and said "Big Bill and me used to fish in this pond."
Another time, at our steady Sunday night gig at B.L.U.E.S on Halsted, I remember him turning to me while he was taking a solo and he said, "Brother [Little Brother Montgomery] is coming down tonight." I swear it wasn't ten seconds later that Brother and his wife come shuffling in the front door!
Sometime in the eighties, he fell down and broke his hip. They put a pin in his leg, but his days of walking through airports were over. I used to wheel him around with him holding my guitar lengthwise between his legs. We went all over the place like that. Once he hit the bandstand he was the same old Sunnyland, right up until the ninties, when his health started going downhill. He also had a stroke during that time, and his right hand wouldn't work too good. He still sang like a bird, though. There were a few times when I had to help him unzip to go to the bathroom. For a man with as much pride as Slim, I know that was difficult, but he dealt with it and continued to live his life. I have to give it up to Sam Burckhardt and Bob Stroger who really doted on Slim and helped him a lot.
The thing I remember most about playing with Sunnyland and all the other old guys is being on the bandstand and thinking, "someday this will all end," and then turning my attention back to the song at hand so I could live inside the music we were playing and cherishing every minute of my time with these artists.

I have been involved in CrossFit for over 3 years now. I decided to try it out because I was bored with my current workout routines. The first time I tried a CrossFit workout, I couldn't believe how challenging and intense it was. After the workout, I felt a sense of accomplishment and couldn't wait to challenge myself again! CrossFit has not only been a challenge physically but even more importantly, the workouts challenge my mind to push past my perceived boundaries allowing for results and breakthroughs to occur. I believe the most gratifying part of CrossFit is the community. We workout together, suffer together, and celebrate together. Here at CrossFit Miramont, I am thrilled about the opportunity to introduce CrossFit to our members and guests.
I started doing CrossFit at Miramont in August 2012. I remember doing my first WOD and it being something fun for me to try but I never realized how it would have such a big impact on my life. Six months later I got certified as a Coach so I could learn more and spread this incredible knowledge.
I love what CrossFit has done for me. It has given me noticeable strength gains, improved body composition and I feel up for any physical challenge that comes my way! One of my favorite aspects is how intense and quick the workouts are and how much they push me in ways I never thought possible. Also, the community is amazing and the friends I have made through CFM are fabulous! Working out is fun, never a chore and I get to do it with awesome people. Try it - you won't be sorry!
Any workout honoring those who have given the ultimate sacrifice for our country and freedom.
I found CrossFit back in 2008 and instantly fell in love with the philosophy and the community! I started coaching just a few months after my first WOD and haven't looked back. CrossFit has made me stronger mentally, physically, and has pushed me to achieve things I never thought possible. It has brought me life long friends and made me apart of an amazing worldwide community where bonds are made through hard work. I am passionate about sharing CrossFit's methodology with others and love showing people that CrossFit CAN be for everyone, no matter your age and/or fitness level.
Any WOD that includes Olympic weightlifting. I love to lift heavy weights and any WOD that includes that will be fun for me! Something like Grace or DT for example.
CrossFit is a fitness program that makes you better. Better at weightlifting, better at running, better at everyday activities. I tried my first CrossFit WOD in 2012 while I was in School at Colorado State University. I started CrossFit by doing the CrossFit.com workout of the day at my house where I had some old beat-up equipment. The workouts were simply written but insanely difficult. After a few workouts at my house I was hooked and I decided to get serious about my training. Shortly after that I joined CrossFit Miramont. That is where my eyes were opened to everything CrossFit had to offer me. I fell in love with the workouts and the incredible community that came along with it. About six months after joining I decided to pursue a career in coaching CrossFit. I have since completed several coaching courses and I have been practicing my coaching at an affiliate in Loveland. Coaching has only helped to solidify my love of CrossFit. Seeing the joy wash over an athlete's face when they learn a new movement or hit a new personal record is one of my favorite experiences. I am proud to be a part of such an amazing fitness program. Come give it a try and find out what you are truly capable of.

A Sun Staff Report
SOUTHEAST, NY -- A Fitchburg and Pepperell man were arrested on several drug charges after a traffic stop in New York, according to a New York State Police press release.
Jacob Lemasurier, 19 of Pepperell, and Anthony Berube, 25, of Fitchburg, were stopped by troopers at around 11 p.m. on Sunday, April 8 for traffic law violations on Interstate 84 in Southeast. Once the vehicle was stopped and troopers spoke with Berube, the operator, they noticed a strong odor of marijuana from the 2012 Ford Fusion.
Upon investigation, the troopers found nearly 70 grams of marijuana, nine syringes and one cartridge, which contained concentrated cannabis oil, 2.8 grams of cocaine and about 4 grams of ecstasy -- all in Lemasurier's possession.
Berube was in possession of one cartridge of concentrated cannabis, about 4.3 grams of edible chocolate made with cannabis oil, about 1 gram of Alprazolam, 0.6 grams of Xanax and 2.4 grams of marijuana.
Berube was charged with:
* four counts of criminal possession of a controlled substance in the seventh degree, a class A misdemeanor
* unlawful possession of marijuana
Lemasurier was charged with:
* criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fourth degree, a class C felony
* criminal possession of a controlled substance in the fifth degree, a class D felony

Nant Gwylan and Garden is a heritage-listed residential garden at Exeter Street in the south-western Sydney suburb of Camden in the Camden Council local government area of New South Wales, Australia. It was added to the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

History

Heritage listing
As at 5 January 2006, Nant Gwylan, built  by John Peat, a Camden bricklayer of note, is an intact Edwardian house and outbuilding set in a cottage garden of the same period. Occupied for more than 90 years by the Davies family, the garden has been little altered from its inception until recent times, while the house has organically evolved over time with pavilion additions and enclosed verandas. Long-time custodian of the house and garden, Miss Llewella Davies, OAM was recognised for her services to the Camden community with a key to the town in 1999. Nant Gwylan maintains a visual relationship with the farmland lying opposite, which was associated with the Davies family from 1908 to 2000, and was donated to the town through the will of Miss Davies.

Nant Gwylan and Garden was listed on the New South Wales State Heritage Register on 2 April 1999.

It's hard to believe that I introduced Fashionable Family Friday (previously known as Frightening Fashion Fridays) five years ago this week. WOW! That's 260 images of me and my family being silly, looking ridiculous, and just generally having fun. Over the years, I've shared the best of my mom's collection, but the pickins' are getting slim. With the photo vault almost empty, I'll be opening up my Friday postings to other topics — but you never know when a treasure from the archives may resurface for you viewing pleasure.
Missed you folks this evening.

Security and efficiency through collaboration
GlobalPlatform has established strong collaborative relationships with relevant industry partners across the world, from international standards organizations to regional industry bodies. This collaboration is key to realizing our vision of fully open ecosystems that efficiently deliver innovative digital services across all vertical markets, while providing greater security, privacy, simplicity, and convenience for the user.
"As the secure mobile ecosystem continues to evolve and expand, the OMAPI Specification has the potential to play an ever greater role in defining how secure and trusted applications across many platforms, in addition to Android, can utilize the SE to offer enhanced security benefits. After very careful consideration, the SIMalliance Board has concluded that transferring the specification to GlobalPlatform is the best way to preserve the integrity of the OMAPI Specification and ensure it is optimized to expand future SE access across applications and devices. This decision has been made easier thanks to GlobalPlatform's position as an active specifications development body, which will increase opportunities for the integration of OMAPI with other relevant technology, as well as the organization's unwavering commitment to developing complementary specifications and certification programs."
- Hervé Pierre, Chairman, SIMalliance
"We embrace every opportunity to work with associations, such as GlobalPlatform, that share a common desire to improve online authentication through the development of open, scalable industry standards. SE and TEE technology plays an important role in isolating and protecting sensitive applications, and there is real value to the market in bringing these standards together. We look forward to sharing further updates as this activity progresses."
- Brett McDowell, Executive Director, FIDO Alliance
"The benefits of a common approach [to testing] can only be realized if there is common interpretation and application of the specification. Businesses investing in Embedded SIM solutions will be assured that products qualified by the GlobalPlatform scheme will deliver the same level of functional integrity and security as the traditional removable SIM."

SEGA announced Yakuza 5 today as Ryu ga Gotoku of the End.
We're assuming the title means The Last Yakuza, or Yakuza: The End, or something along those lines, but what the hell do we know anyway? We're just guessing really.
First teased back in March, the game is expected to get a formal reveal at TGS next week, which runs September 16-19.
The official site for the game was also updated today, complete with a new logo and PC and Twitter themes.
No word on a release date yet, let alone one outside of Japan, but here's hoping we'll hear more next week.

The Pieniny National Park in Slovakia extends over 2125 hectares near the border with Poland, northeast of the High Tatras.
An area with a rich historical and folk artistic heritage, as wel as a distinctive folklore and architecture, it is also exceptional in its memorable scenery,rocky ridges and rich flora and fauna. For the discerning tourist the Pieniny is synonymous with beauty, unspoiled scenery and repose. It is an ideal destination for anglers and kayakers alike, and a paradise for cyclists.
The major landmark of the Zamagurie landscape is the striking rock formation of Tri koruny (Three Crowns, 982 m).
Below this, the river Dunajec has cut into the limestone a narrow gorge with high rock walls. A gentle trip along on the river on a typical "Goral" raft makes for a memorable outing.
Well worth a visit, too, is Cerveny Klastor (The Red Monastery) dating from 1319, a National Cultural Site.

The Highway Patrol reports a Saint Joseph man sustained moderate injuries when a car ran off the road two miles west of Osborn Wednesday morning.
Eighty-two-year-old Billie Gilpin drove the car west on U. S. Highway 36 when it ran off the south side of the road into the median and struck a culvert. The vehicle came to rest on its wheels receiving extensive damage.
An ambulance transported Gilpin to Mosaic Life Care Medical Center of Saint Joseph.
The Patrol reports he wore a seatbelt at the time of the accident with the Stewartsville Fire Department assisting at the scene.


NF: If I was to attempt to categorize my work, I would immediately be compelled to contradict my overreaching summery, and prove myself wrong.
NF: My kids are currently doing some of the most exciting drawings I have come across, and they are quite happy to show me, step by step how to do quite complicated monsters.
NF: If I could do that I would be so much more efficient.
I attempted to describe my process (to myself) by photographing a painting at regular stages. The result was a very predictable logical journey to a not very interesting painting. I've since thrashed that painting in very brutish ways and it is now really quite good. The problem is I didn't take any photos beyond the insipid stage. I am therefore still quite ignorant as to how the painting went from dull to good.
NF: I work in my shed 9am to 4:30pm. Sometimes I don't work at all. Sometimes I work so hard I feel my husband/father role suffers. Sometimes I build things. Sometimes I walk. Sometimes I run really far.
NF: I often find myself in a muddle. If I was to start a piece of work without a plan, I would be starting in a muddle and therefore be quite unlikely to find a thread of reason with which to work. A plan is vital, if only there to be reacted against.
NF: Don't assume you know how it works.
NF: It's important to me, I don't know how important it is to anyone else.
NF: I get to ticker in my shed everyday. If I have an idea, I can dedicate time and resources to realize it.
NF: I use whatever tools are available to me. Computers, printers, cameras, electric saws… what would I do without them?
NF: I think being an artist allows me to function a lot like a child does.
NF: I do enjoy travelling, but have found it very difficult with young children.
NF: To make things better.
NF: Thinking about stuff and making stuff based on the things I think about.

Using pipelines for the movement of crude oil, NGLs, refined products, and natural gas greatly benefits the United States economy. Direct capital investments for the construction of new pipelines will average approximately $55 billion between 2014 and 2025, with more being spent between 2016 and 2020. This estimate considers a conservative path of oil and gas production during that time period. If access to off limit areas of production, like the Atlantic, the Eastern Gulf of Mexico, the Pacific, and Alaska, is granted, direct capital investments will increase and average around $65 billion between 2014 and 2025. Regardless of the amount of production, these direct investments will further elicit indirect investments from others in the supply chain, such as steel manufacturing and engineering companies. Wages provided to workers will also be used to purchase consumer goods and contribute even further to the economy. In the end, while the approximate direct investment value may be between $55 and $65 billion, more contributions to the economy are likely providing all the indirect factors that are a part of construction and maintenance of gas and liquid pipelines.
In addition to the financial impact of pipeline construction, employment opportunities will increase significantly. As many as 665,434 jobs could be created because of new pipeline projects, and this number doesn't even include the resulting indirect jobs. These jobs will be dispersed throughout the US. As detailed above, if some of the currently off limit areas are open for production, the jobs amount could increase to 830,769.
In the above video, Interstate Natural Gas Association of America President Don Santa discusses the benefits of investing in pipelines, including improved pipeline safety and additional job opportunities for U.S. workers.

Feature: Art Block (15/02/16)
Art Block is a singer/songwriter from East London; creating alternative rock / indie music and gigging locally. His forthcoming EP 'Borderline' - produced by BBC Radio award-wining musicians, Ben Walker, from Folkroom Records - will be released on 4th March 2016. So we caught up with Art for a quick Q&A and listen of the title track 'Borderline'...
I wrote my first song at 15. Inspired by Pet Shop Boys lol
Neil Young at Hyde Park or Roger Waters performing The Wall at The O2.
A lot of unsigned artists on SoundCloud you've probably never heard of. I love Sophie Jamieson and her 'Where EP', which still resonates today.
3 Qs for Art:
1. Which band / artist would you most like to collaborate with and why?
I've always wanted to collaborate with Ben Walker, who is an extremely talented folk musician and I was lucky enough to do so on the Borderline EP.
2. Where do you gain inspiration and influences from whilst writing?
Usually SoundCloud - it's a mine of undiscovered talent. I'm also inspired daily by the amazing world around us. Living in London is good for that!
3. Which track are you most excited for people to heard from your forthcoming EP 'Borderline' and why?
'Breaking Point' as it is so different from my previous songs. It has an electronic experimental aspect to it. Ben Walker's guitar playing is phenomenal.
Favourite lyric?
'Where the old Thames does flow...' - from The Verve's 'History'.
'Borderline' Review:
The long but intricate guitars throughout, work perfectly alongside the haunting, echoing vocals and steady beat, creating a beautiful harmonious song. It fits into the genre perfectly, the only negative not being able to hear the well crafted lyrics clearer; but a great title track to welcome the rest of the EP with...

The Thing From Another World – Part 3
Watchin' Norris in there gave me the idea that… maybe every part of him was a whole, every little piece was an individual animal with a built-in desire to protect its own life. Ya see, when a man bleeds, it's just tissue; but blood from one of you Things won't obey when it's attacked. It'll try and survive… crawl away from a hot needle, say.
Before Palmer's gruesome transformation, Carpenter and Cundey discussed about giving the audience subtle hints on who might be the Thing during the centerpiece of the film — the blood test scene — and eventually settled upon a subtle eye gleam. "We were looking for some kind of a subtle way, to say which one of these [men] might be human," Cundey revealed. "You'll notice there's always an eye light, we call it, a little gleam in the eye of the actor. It gives life." Palmer is devoid of the 'eye-gleam' moments before the transformation. "There is no eye light [on Palmer's eyes]. Let's make it look subtle like he's different and the audience won't know until later. So he has dead eyes."
Tags: John Carpenter, Rob Bottin, The Thing
The Thing is first seen imitating a Swedish Norwegian dog. The part was played by a trained animal actor — a half wolf, half Alaskan malamute dog named Jed, trained by his owner Clint Rowe. He performed in most sequences with the exception of the beginning chase scene, where another dog, painted to be indistinguishable from Jed, was filmed.
Is that a man in there or something?
"I first became aware of a movie called The Thing when I saw the original film," said John Carpenter. "It was 1952 and I'd been about four or five years old. I think I saw it on a re-release. It was one of those films that, as you watch it, it was so frightening that my popcorn went flying out of my hands. When they're up to the doorway and they had this Geiger counter — they open the door and he's right there — I went nuts. Crazy. Then I read the short story in high school and I realized it was a lot different from the movie. What they'd done in the first film was make the James Arness monster more like a Frankenstein-type of creature. Yes, it was a kind of vegetable that could reproduce various lifeforms but he wasn't the imitator; the creature that could imitate any lifeform from the original story. The John W. Campbell story Who Goes There? was basically Ten Little Indians with a creature in their midst; and it's imitating either one or all of us; who's human and who isn't? That kind of idea fascinated me. We went in a sense back to that idea with the Bill Lancaster screenplay."

Howling Beasts
In adapting Gary Brandner's 1977 seminal horror novel The Howling director Joe Dante hired John Sayles — a writer he had already collaborated with on Piranha — to completely rebuild the story, after the first drafts — written by Jack Conrad and Terence H. Winkless — proved unsatisfying. "One guy tried to adapt the book," Dante told Combustible Celluloid, "and it really wasn't working. That's when I hired John Sayles. He wrote this picture after Piranha. He wrote Alligator and The Howling together at the same time in the same hotel room. You'd knock on the door, and he'd ask who it was, and you'd tell him either The Howling or Alligator and he'd slip the appropriate pages under the door."

Beast of the Deep
Finnegan turns as the DANCE FLOOR and the D.J. BOOTH EXPLODE as SOMETHING RISES UP from below them. His eyes widen. And there it is — The huge, horrible, mutated, mucus-covered, sucker-faced HEAD OF THE CREATURE.
A giant mutated protoplasm. Jutting up from a breach in the floor. The trunk of the Creature, the part where all the Tentacles come from is below the next deck. A slimy, translucent MEMBRANE slowly RISES, REVEALING what appears to be some sort of ORGANIC LIQUID EYE.
This is how the massive, unidentified deep sea Beast is finally revealed in Stephen Sommers's and Robert Mark Kamen's script for Deep Rising. In the climax of the film, it is revealed that the multiple worm-like entities infesting the Argonautica are actually the tentacles of a single, gargantuan Monster. Bringing the abomination to the screen was a task assigned to Dream Quest Images, the visual effects division of Walt Disney Company, and Industrial Light & Magic, for a limited number of shots. Dream Quest Shop supervisor Mike Shea had first to 'cut down' the original script, which conceived an unreachable — for the time — effects complexity. "When we first came on board in October 1995," he told Cinefex, "there was a draft that called for some 500 effects shots. We were able to devise Steve in terms of what could and couldn't be done, and assist with some of the early script rewrites."
Mimic Terrors
"Nature is a strange thing, I learned. You learn that very clearly when you work in a museum. You realize how nature uses the art of camouflage."
-Donald A. Wollheim, Mimic
The original Mimic short story, written by Donald A. Wollheim and first published in 1942, was widely different in both plotline and tone to Guillermo Del Toro's film adaptation. In it, the narrator recalls a grotesque and mysterious 'man in a black coat' in his neighbourhood. When this figure is found dead in its apartment, it is revealed to be a gigantic insect, evolved to camouflage itself among humans — mimicking their appearance.

Q: How to achieve NUMBER(Oralce) data type functionality in snowflake? I am having a oracle table column values like 4.138
153.2809
128.113141081389 trying to load these values into snowflake with the table DDL NUMBER(38,16). So the values are now in snowflake table becomes 4.1380000000000000
153.2809000000000000
128.1131410813890000 but i need to load the values as such in oracle to snowflake with out trailing 0.
How to achieve this?

A: To format a fixed-position numeric type so that it does not display trailing zeros:
create or replace table TEST_NUMBERS (N number(38,16));
insert into TEST_NUMBERS(N) values (4.138), (153.2809), (128.113141081389);

select to_varchar(N, 'FMTM') as COMPACT_NUMBER from TEST_NUMBERS;

-- The "FM" toggles the "Fill Mode" to compact from the default, which is full.
-- The "TM" specifies using "Text Minimal".
-- It requires both Fill Mode of compact and Text Minimal set to suppress trailing
-- zeros on fixed-position numbers.

This is of course only for display and output. If you want to see how scale and precision affect storage and computation, there is a note in this section of the docs:
https://docs.snowflake.net/manuals/sql-reference/data-types-numeric.html#impact-of-precision-and-scale-on-storage-size

A: well, generally if you want to store the data without the trailing zeroes you should just cut on scale. A NUMBER(38,3) will store 4.138 and nothing more than that.
and if it's for display purpose then just change the formatting string according to https://docs.snowflake.net/manuals/sql-reference/sql-format-models.html#fixed-position-numeric-formats

Boris Johnson 'loathed' by Scots, according to new poll
by Daniel O'Donoghue
October 30, 2020, 10:01 am Updated: October 30, 2020, 5:22 pm
Boris Johnson is driving swing voters towards backing independence, a new poll has found.
The prime minister's leadership style was disliked by more than three quarters of Scots polled last month.
The poll, carried out by Theresa May's former pollster James Johnson, gave independence a 56 to 44% lead, excluding those who said they did not know.
Brexit and the UK government's handling of the pandemic were among the most persuasive arguments for independence, but none more so than the argument: "Boris Johnson is not the leader I want to have for my country" — a sentiment 79% of swing voters agreed with.
Worryingly for Number 10, the POLITICO commissioned study also found that the UK government's opposition to granting a second independence referendum would prove unpopular should Nicola Sturgeon win a majority in next May's Holyrood elections, with 53% of voters saying that a second poll should be granted in such an instance.
James Johnson, founder of J.L. Partners, told POLITICO that the picture was "bleak" for unionists.
He said: "It is hard not to look at these figures and assume the Union is doomed. It is certainly the gravest situation the Unionist cause has found itself in in recent history."
Should a second referendum be held, the choice of spokespeople for the unionist campaign will be crucial, the polling suggests.
Among Conservative union advocates, only Chancellor Rishi Sunak and former Scottish Conservative leader Ruth Davidson are viewed favourably.
"The chancellor has a net rating of +30 with Scottish swing voters, higher than Keir Starmer, Gordon Brown, Alex Ferguson, and even the Queen," Mr Johnson said.
Chancellor of the Exchequer Rishi Sunak
"In focus groups Boris Johnson is not just criticized in the way David Cameron and Theresa May were," Mr Johnson added, "but loathed."
The poll is the 11th in a row which shows majority support for Scottish independence.
Responding to the poll, SNP Westminster leader Ian Blackford said next year's Scottish Parliament elections would be "the most important in Scotland's history."
He said: "No one should be complacent. The only poll that matters is on election day – and every vote will count."
The comments came as Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey revealed his party's alternative to the SNP' s "distraction" of independence.
He will use his speech to the Scottish Liberal Democrats virtual conference this weekend to claim the "failing SNP Government" in Edinburgh has been "distracted by its pursuit of independence".
And while he will say he understands why people want "any alternative" to Mr Johnson's "cruel and incompetent Tory Government", he will argue that the offer of a more federal UK advanced by the Lib Dems would give Scots "more control over their own lives".

Family Resources for Online Safety
EWSD's expert Technology Integrationists have reviewed the following resources and recommend them for family use and research purposes. Several of the resources, including Common Sense Media, are used to help develop EWSD's digital citizenship lessons.
Please note, we hope this list is helpful, but we neither endorse nor vouch for any specific cable service, internet service provider, software or device in terms of efficacy or helpfulness of parental controls.
EWSD recommends that families review privacy policies and terms of service before installing and using any new application.
Common Sense Media (opens in a new window) is a parent-oriented information and reviews website that helps parents and kids critically look at media, and offers educators and their own reviews on television shows, movies, games, apps and more. Some EWSD teachers use this website's Digital Citizenship curriculum (opens in a new window) to guide classroom content for students of all grades.
Think U Know
A website site from the UK, Think U Know (opens in a new window) has been offering family resources since 2001, and tends to be ahead of the curve. While U.S. concerns cannot be reported to their governing body, the Child Exploitation and Online Protection Centre, the Parents & Carers page tackles nuanced topics other websites do not, including social elements of online gaming, risks taken while live-streaming, and use of online pornography.
NetSmartz is a website with advice on Internet Safety that is geared toward different age groups (link opens in a new window) and is run by the Center for Missing and Exploited Children. It offers information on various challenges, such as social media, exposure to inappropriate material, cyberbullying, sexting, device use, and gaming. Suggestions adhere to the Center's four basic tenets of child safety protocol, which you can learn about in Parent Tips (opens in a new window): Check First, Bring a Friend, Tell People 'No', and Tell a Trusted Adult.
An extension of PBS Kids, the PBS Parents (opens in a new window) website offers a host of advice on introducing best practices and critical thinking to children of all ages. The Children & Media section offers information on TV & Movies, Video Games, Computers, and Advertising, segmented into four different age groups.
CIPA and COPPA
There are two federal laws that help govern the use of products by, and privacy of, children. CIPA stands for the Children's Internet Protection Act, and you can learn more information or look into filing a complaint at the Federal Trade Commission's online CIPA guide. COPPA stands for The Children's Online Privacy Protection Act and requires parental consent, privacy protection and marketing restrictions on digital products for children under the age of 13. It is also governed by the FTC. The Google Play store has helpful guidance for families that helps make sense of this in the lense of app or software purchases.
Activity Monitoring & Parental Controls
Educators at EWSD do not endorse or advise towards any specific device or software for behavior monitoring or time limits, but want to share general information about useful options.
Parental Controls: Many Android and iOS mobile devices are equipped with options that can be adjusted *in the device's settings directly.* Check your device's manual or contact the manufacturer's customer service to learn how to set parental controls. Common Sense Media features several articles and app reviews on parental controls - check out the Cellphone Parenting blog for device-specific controls and guidance.
Internet Service Providers: Cable or internet providers now offer services to adjust restriction level of your internet surfing capabilities, and create "blackout" periods to enable families to limit internet use at certain times. Cable services can usually be adjusted with the remote control using the provider's menu, as well.
Social Media: Parents are often encouraged to be aware of what kids are doing on social media. Some families are online friends, others are sharing passwords and checking in periodically; yet others use monitoring software. Educators want to issue words of caution, that for every parent-facing account a student has, they likely have another online presence that a parent doesn't know about. Keeping children educated and having regular, ongoing dialogue is one of the best steps a parent can take.


If you notice that there's something wrong with your trees, you should contact expert tree surgeons in Kent. Many tree surgeons provide a range of services to customers, helping them care for their trees in the best possible manner. Here are just some of the many services that local tree surgeons provide.
Tree pruning is essential from time to time to prevent uncontrolled growth. You will need to make sure that the trees grow in a proper shape and the branches don't extend in haphazard directions. The tree surgeon will use professional pruning practices to properly shape the trees.
Want to get rid of a dead tree from your property? You can call the tree surgeons; they will cut the tree from the stump, and then grind it all the way into the ground. They take great care to ensure that the tree doesn't fall in any direction or damage someone's property.


Although goat production in Southeast Mexico rely on native vegetation, information regarding the potential of this grazing system for milk production is scarce. The objective of this study was to evaluate the productivity of lactating goats under three grazing systems: a grass monoculture system (GMS), an intensive silvopastoral system (ISPS) and a native vegetation system (NVS). Thirty Creole female goats (weight 41.7 ± 3.8 kg) from 2.5 to 3 years old and 60 days postpartum were randomly assigned to the three grazing systems. The availability and chemical composition of forage, milk production and composition, blood urea, body condition and live weight were assessed. In the NVS, goats consumed more than 60 different plant types, but their diet consisted mainly of 13 identified plant species. Although forage availability was lower for the NVS, the edible plants of this system had higher crude protein and lower fiber compared to the GMS and the ISPS. Consequently, milk yield in the NVS was similar (P > 0.05) to the other systems and, compared with the GMS, had a higher content of protein, fat, lactose and minerals (P < 0.0001). Edible plants from the NVS also had a higher content of tannins, which probably helped to modulate rumen NH3-N, as reflected in the lower blood urea concentration in that system (P < 0.01). Due to its higher forage availability, the GMS showed the highest milk production per unit area, followed by the ISPS and NVS. It is concluded that NVS, the most biodiverse and extensive grazing system, supplies good quality forage to support high quality milk production similar to ISPS. In addition, it is associated with a low ecological impact.
We would like thank the owners farm of "Mi Viejo San Juan" farm for allowing us to use their facilities and their goats which enabled us to carry out this experiment. The first author is grateful to the National Council of Science and Technology of Mexico (CONACYT) for the research grant that supported the postgraduate studies at the University of Yucatan, Mexico.

Warfare reached the Estonian territory again in February 1944, when the Red Army broke the Leningrad blockade and quickly moved westwards. Despite the pessimism of the German army command's land forces, Adolf Hitler considered it important to hold Estonia. Abandoning Estonia would have meant a threat by the Red Army's Baltic fleet to German delivery of iron ore from Sweden, Germany's ally Finland would have been in a difficult position, and Estonian oil shale was essential to the war industry. A large number of additional troops were sent to Estonia, including the 20th Estonian SS-division, which was constantly supplemented with new conscripts. In the bloody battles from February to March the attack of the Red Army was halted on the Narva front, and warfare almost ceased until July. The Red Army took some of its troops to Finland, and the eastern front focused on Belarus. Several German divisions were transferred from the Narva front to Belarus, and replaced by the newly formed Estonian troops. At the end of July, the Germans abandoned the Narva front and retreated ca 25 km westwards, to prepared positions in the Sinimäed Hills. The Red Army attempts to break through in the Sinimäed Hills were repelled at an enormous cost in human life. In early August, the Red Army began an attack in north-eastern Latvia and made its way to the Emajõgi River by the end of the month, where the front stabilised. The Red Army's success in Latvia and Lithuania posed a threat that the troops still in Estonia would be cut off and on 16 September Hitler agreed to abandon mainland Estonia. The Red Army attack started on 17 September; the 8th Estonian rifle brigade took part as well. The German army retreated quickly from the south-east, the Narva River and the Sinimäed Hills, leaving the Estonian troops in a difficult situation. Tallinn was given up on 22 September. Bloody battles were fought on Saaremaa Island, where the Red Army conquered the Sõrve Peninsula only on 24 November 1944.
In autumn 1944, approximately 70,000 Estonians fled from Estonia to Germany and Sweden. Upon arrival, they were installed in refugee camps. Integration of the refugees into the local society happened more quickly in Sweden, whereas in war-ravaged Germany many had to stay in refugee camps until the late 1940s. The Soviet Union's aggressive repatriation politics caused fear in many people that they might be forcefully returned to the Soviet Union. This resulted in the 'second wave of migration' – refugees moved on to the USA, Canada etc, sometimes using unsuitable ships for ocean travel.
Immediately after conquering Estonia, the Soviet security forces embarked on active suppression of the resistance movement and arrested the Estonians who had served in the German or Finnish armies. In less than a year, over 10,000 people were arrested. Some Estonian war prisoners placed in filter camps were sent to Red Army units, some to prison camps, and some were freed. At the same time, about 20,000 men were mobilised into the Red Army. The resistance movement managed to operate until the early 1950s.
In World War II Estonia lost a total of 200,000 people: executed, killed in action, imprisoned, deported, mobilised, forcefully evacuated and those who fled the country (some later managed to return). Material damage was relatively minor compared to that in western Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Poland and Germany. The town of Narva was totally destroyed, and extensive damage was done to Tartu, Mustvee and Tallinn, in the latter especially during the bombing raids in March 1944. The 'scorched-earth' tactics employed by the Soviets in 1941 and by the Germans in 1944 failed because of the single-minded resistance of the population.
At the conferences in Yalta and Potsdam, the Soviet Union successfully persuaded the Western allies to leave the Baltic countries to the Union. Non-recognition politics nevertheless continued. For Estonia, the political consequences of World War II ended with the restoration of independence in 1991 and the Russian troops leaving the country in 1994.


I tend to read the news too often. Maybe I read it too much to be really hit by anything, but I came across this article today in the NY Times. I know that people are killed everyday, but reading this I started to cry.
Talked with a friend today, and ironically, about killing. The difference between killing and murder. He has to tell himself that killing and murder are two different things, and maybe they are, for the person who ends the life. For the person who is dead, what did the intention matter? Death is death. Again I come back to ether, and I am beginning to see how truly difficult it must have been to disprove something so ephemeral. Without ether, where is God? This all-present substance was God, in a way, and it never existed.
Did the man who murdered Pippa Bacca realize what her mission was, why she was in a wedding dress, and where she was headed? Did she tell him, did he ask? I don't know that his intention mattered, she's still dead. Is Pippa's death different than the death of a woman who isn't journeying on a peace mission? I'm not sure that it is. Still, the idea of murdering someone while they attempt to carry a message of peace and harmony seems especially vile.
The article says that hitchhiking was an important part of the performance. That trust in someone unknown was important. After her death, fellow artist Silvia Moro wants to continue what they began, but I don't know if she'll be able to. And by that I mean, if I were her, I don't know that I would be able to. Each car she gets into, part of her will have to think, what if it's me this time? Again, pure speculation, and I can only react as I would react. That if I were part of this, every car I got into I would wonder if it would be the last. And what desperate hope and faith she must have if she continues. I usually think performance art is a bit narcissistic, silly, and pointless. This performance art is beautiful and important. If Silvia is able to continue her mission/performance, I hope that those her path crosses will protect her and that she will be able to trust again.
I do not know these artists, and I doubt I ever will. But they are beautiful and risked everything. I wish I were so brave, and I wish I didn't know about this because of Pippa's death.
As I'm lately fixated on light and ether, I suppose it makes sense that I'm also fixated on sunprints. I just ordered more, 4×4 and 12×8 pages. I'm quite excited about it. I like the result the wind gives, pushing this away from where I wanted them in the first place and leaving traces. It's making me miss making things with my hands, even if this is a sort of remove of photography and not sculpture or painting. I need to get back to it, and I'm starting to really delve into why I walked away in the first place.
Okay, not here, but on my sister's. So enjoy, she has wonderful craftiness on there.
I'm trying to sort through Derrida and Lacan, and getting somewhere close to nowhere. Ah theory. It's all a bit tangled, and when an essay begins by saying that Derrida's writing was "dazzling" I tend to think it's not the most objective.
Instead, distracted by my friend Nicelle's poetry. Best poet here, hands down. (Jessi says my work is on par, but of course I disagree.) Mythology is so deeply interwoven into her three pieces, it got me thinking. She moves from Babel and Genesis (and Eve) into Persephone and Hades, and ends somewhere in Egypt. A friend here told me how shocked he was the first time he heard the bible referred to as a myth. But it's always been part and parcel, Basat beside Hera beside Eve. Spokes of the wheel, way to go Eckankar.
Funny that I should be starting my second project investigating the theories of Light and Ether. Eckankar is about achieving Light or some such thing… a very hippy dippy religion that I'm not entirely sure I stand with. It seems what I remember learning was more of the Buddhist and Taoist leanings of Eckankar. I don't remember all of the Light that I later read about. But here I am, delving into light. Particle and wave theory, the ideas of reflection. Photon telaportation (it exists!) and penumbras. I wonder if it'll end up connecting back to religion, or only in my oblique way, the only way I can access it really.
We'll see when the book is done.
Lengthy reading about structure and language, and I'm left thinking I ought to control my limbs a bit better.
I'm not sure when it happened, but the University Village Cinema put in a very large flashing sign that I can see from my apartment window. I think that's what it is emerging from, or it is a very misplaced freeway advert. Either way, at first glance this evening I thought it was a church steeple, just lighting up. In florescent pink and baby blue. Wouldn't shock me too much, I did grow up going to a church in the Ironbound section of Newark with Cyrillic neon letters behind the pulpit. (I wonder if that onion domed glory is still standing on its tarnished gold foundations?) As night fell a bit deeper, the flashing continued. I thought the steeple was malfunctioning, but now I'm left to assume: marketing.
I'm failing at this "poem a day" challenge. Ether is too heady for me to wrap around each day, and my little snippets aren't very elaborate or poetic. There is a connection here, albeit a tenuous one. Ether intrigues me, and I think it's the way I can access writing about (g)od without (G)od. Or the difference between. Similarities. Something.
How impossible to believe: nothing is really nothing. Sad scientists disproving ether. It was all an accident, and they were left with no resounding substance filled with (G)od's purpose. Just the vacancy.
Picture from Baltimore, at a much different time.
How crushing the fall after desire. Thus ushers in Plan B, yet to be determined.

Better late than never. Cadillac is finally diving into the compact premium crossover game with the 2019 XT4, an XT5 that's been given the Honey I Shrunk The Kids treatment.
Blessed with clean, stylish lines, the XT4 is a sharp looking crossover that should stand out from the pack. The wide grille, sharp headlights, and wreathless Cadillac shield give it a distinctive face, while the tail's handsome LED taillights look fantastic, especially in the Sport trim's clear treatment.
The cabin is simple and stylish, with two rows of buttons sitting beneath an 8.0-inch touchscreen display. There's a concept-car-like layout to the cabin, with the wide display sitting lower than we'd expect and its housing almost merging with the instrument cluster. It's not as dramatic as the combined 24-inch setup in the Mercedes-Benz C-, E-, and S-Class, but it's arguably more attractive and fluid.
The cabin should be good for passengers too. There's up to 39.5 inches of second-row leg room, a figure Cadillac says tops the competition.
All XT4s use a 2.0-liter, turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 9-speed automatic. Its 237 horsepower is comparable for the class, although a manufacturer-estimated 30 mpg highway beats most of the competition. The powertrain is an increasingly familiar one, finding a place in other recent GM products, like the new Buick Regal and Chevrolet Malibu.
While automatic emergency braking is available, it's not standard. Surprisingly Cadillac's impressive Super Cruise hands-free driver assist system is not available. In fact, only blind-spot monitoring is available as standard, and then only on the mid-range Premium Luxury and the range-topping Sport. Lane-keeping assist, automatic emergency braking, and adaptive cruise control will likely end up on the options list.
Priced from $35,790 the XT4 goes on sale this fall.
