I picked a random number and now I am writing about it.
Two weeks, what could you do in two whole weeks?
Maybe you could write a book, paint your house, learn to dance, go on a trip, improve your business, change a relationship, who knows?
We do not know what life will throw at us at any point, yet often two weeks of our lives will drift by on autopilot in a blur and we would not even notice what we had done or missed.
Take the next two weeks and do something new, something amazing, do something different for the next two weeks and see where it leads to.
Tell someone every day for two weeks that you love them, smile at a stranger for 14 days in a row, eat one less thing for 14 days, walk for 15 minutes every day, watch 30 minutes less YouTube, call one person, do some act of generosity and kindness each day, whatever it is, do it 14 times.
What will you do different just 14 times?

Senate president discusses Income Tax Law with PM
AMMONNEWS - Senate President Faisal Al Fayez on Wednesday, discussed with Prime Minister Hani Al Mulki the amended draft law on the income tax which was referred by the government to the Lower House of Parliament last week.
Fayez said that the meeting comes within the continued consultation between the Senate and the government to get acquainted with the government's measures to address economic challenges. "The conditions we are going through require united efforts in order to deal with the challenges based on national responsibility," he said.
Fayez that the Senate will continue shouldering its national responsibilities to address economic challenges to serve the interests of the homeland, preserve economic and social stability in the Kingdom, and translate directives of His Majesty King Abdullah II to improve citizen's living conditions.
"The chamber, through its specialized committees, will conduct dialogues on the tax law with various commercial and industrial sectors, civil society institutions, experts and specialists, with the aim of reaching understandings on the law based on its monitoring and legislative constitutional duty," he added.
The prime minister for his part said the government was serious in dealing with various economic challenges to reach a stage of self-reliance and overcome the difficult economic conditions.
He pointed out that the government is continuing dialogue on the draft law with the Senate and Lower House, various civil society institutions and other concerned bodies.

Jeff Lieberman is still The Man!
Willamina Van Helsing (Erika Smith) is enlisted by her dead Uncle Abe Van Helsing (Bob MacKay) to slay Dracula's daughter, Countess Dracula (Darian Caine). Since Willamina is completely unable to defeat the Countess, instead she allies with her in a move so diabolically intelligent and calculated that I'm certain she planned it in advance rather than it being the result of poor writers using it as a way to show a lot of women doing things to other women. After all, Seduction Cinema has standards….
Caught in the web of… inbred teenage girls!
Seeing Spider Baby on the big screen is a quite unique experience, since there aren't that much 35-mm copies in good condition left of this movie. For the Offscreen Festival screening last year (2008), Jack Hill provided a print out of his private collection, for which we thank him heartily. Spider Baby is a black & white sixties treasure filled with demented humor and grotesque terror, dealing with rather bizarre family values.
Dean (Sebastian Street) is going to marry Elaine (Jemma Lewis) and so he and his friends Marky (Bruce Lawrence), TC (James G. Fain), Ronnie (Joe Rainbow), Sanjay (Rez Kempton) and future father-in-law Gordon (Doug Grant) go on a stag night. The plan includes a stripper named Candy (Sophie Lovell Anderson), followed by a game of Zomball – a game involving lightning guns and zombies – which, of course, goes wrong. What follows is a standard zombie film with attempts at jokes.

HomeOregon DucksOregon Vs. Georgia – Who You Should Bet On
Oregon Vs. Georgia – Who You Should Bet On
August 29, 2022 Braiden Bell Oregon Ducks Comments Off on Oregon Vs. Georgia – Who You Should Bet On
College football is back, and potentially no ranked team has a tougher opening assignment than the Oregon Ducks. First-year Head Coach Dan Lanning will make his coaching debut for the Ducks 2,608 miles away from the friendly confines of Autzen Stadium to Atlanta against the defending national champion, and 3rd ranked Georgia Bulldogs.
So what's the play? The spread currently sits at UGA -17.5, and while that's a pretty large number at first glance, the Bulldogs have the bite to back it up. Ride Georgia in Week One. The reasons for this vary, but we will explain a few.
First, this is the defending national champs we are talking about here. Yes, Georgia lost 14 starters as well as 33 lettermen from the 2021 team. But UGA is returning plenty of talent, including quarterback Stetson Bennett, wide receiver Ladd McConkey, tight end Brock Bowers, defensive tackle Jalen Carter, outside linebacker Nolan Smith and cornerback Kelee Ringo. Now that's a solid list and let's not forget that their newcomers are still almost all former four- or five-star recruits that happen to be playing under one of the best head coaches in the nation.
This game shines differently, however, because Oregon now has two of their most key roles filled with people very familiar with the dominance of Georgia, from the inside and out. Dan Lanning making his Ducks coaching debut against his former team is a storyline too good to pass up. Lanning led the Dogs' historically good defense last season and had coached under Kirby Smart in Athens since 2018. That is a factor that certainly will be under the microscope, but if anything, that will be an advantage for Georgia.
Next, the Ducks' new quarterback Bo Nix has not had success against UGA in his career. He's played the Bulldogs thrice at Auburn and went 0-3 in the meetings. The offenses led by Nix scored an average of 10 points per game and lost by an average margin of 17.3 points per game, ironically nearly the exact current spread of 17.5. As for his individual stats against UGA, Nix has thrown only one career TD in three starts compared to 2 interceptions and an average QBR of a lowly 46.6.
The next and final reason to bet the Dogs to cover? A little bit of home cooking and a whole lot of recent memory to read from. To say Georgia and Oregon are playing in a "neutral site" would be a massive lie. Saturday's season opener is at Mercedes Benz Stadium in downtown Atlanta, about 90 minutes away from Georgia's campus. So the Ducks will be walking into a hornet's nest full of Bulldog fans ready to welcome their squad as defending national champions for the time since 1980.
To put a cherry on top, Georgia has owned non-conference opponents under Smart, losing just one game outside of SEC play since he took the job back in 2016. That includes the Bulldogs taking care of then No. 3 Clemson last season in the opener.
Oregon and Georgia kick off their seasons on Saturday at 12:30 PST in Atlanta. The game can be seen on ABC.

Former Days of Our Lives Scribe Finds New Career Writing Video Games!
Jamey Giddens
As jobs for television writers—especially in daytime—continue to dry up, one former Days of Our Lives freelancer has managed to reinvent herself as a gamer. According to theColumbus Dispatch, Harvard grad Anne Toole was bitten by the gaming bug when she was offered the chance to head write the online video game companion to the series Stargate.
Toole, who knew from a young age that she wanted to make a living telling stories, thought her future lay in television.
After earning a bachelor's degree in archaeology from Harvard University, she moved to Hollywood. She was making a living as a freelance writer in 2006 when she received an offer to become the head writer for an online video-game adaptation of the popular Stargate series.
"I had been writing a couple of episodes of Days of Our Lives when, all of a sudden, I became head writer in charge of 200 hours of game play," she said, adding that it was the equivalent of five seasons.
Love this! With so many talented soap writing alums out of work due to rampant cancelations and the aftermath of the Writers' Strike, it's nice to hear about one figuring out a way to continue making a living telling serialized stories. Personally, I would run, not walk to my laptop to purchase an online game based on Days of Our Lives.
Just think of a video game where Patch and Kayla, Shane and Kim or other classic DAYS characters solve mysteries, go off on ISA adventures, etc. Maybe Orpheus is revealed to be alive and kidnaps Marlena to a castle and all the great DAYS heroes have to work to save her? Players could pick their adventurer. Ah, the possibilities!

__KEIN_INHALTSVERZEICHNIS__

Die Dachauer Haustafeln sind Schmuck und Schutzsymbol zugleich. Sie waren besonders im 19. Jahrhundert an vielen Bauern- und Handwerkerhäusern im Dachauer Land an den Fassaden zu finden.

Beschreibung und Vorkommen
Die Tafeln aus Solnhofer Kalkstein zeigen religiöse Motive, die als Flachrelief in die Steinplatten gemeißelt und bemalt wurden. Diese Platten sind 25 mal 25 Zentimeter bis 50 mal 50 Zentimeter groß. Sie sind bis heute an den Hausfassaden im Landkreis Dachau zu sehen. Diese bäuerliche Volkskunst ist nur im Landkreis Dachau und der näheren Umgebung zu finden.

"Manch einem, der besinnlich durch die Höfe wandert, mögen die kleinen Bildwerke in Solnhofener Kalkstein aufgefallen sein ob ihrer in Form und Fassung so eigentümlichen Art, die sich wie von selbst einfügen in die einfache, fast karge Zweckmäßigkeit des bäuerlichen Hauses", heißt es im Jahrbuch des Bayerischen Heimatbundes von 1938.

Um 1930 sollen über 300 Haustafeln existiert haben. Viele Dachauer Haustafeln stehen auf der bayerischen Denkmalliste als Kleindenkmale.

Fiction #517
by Joseph Modugno
It is a fine autumn afternoon. Toms River is walking into the hospital. He is carrying flowers. Some are red, some are yellow, some are green, and some are blue. Overhead, a cloud is passing, and across the parking lot on a dirt strip there are some trees whose leaves are moving, but Toms does not stop to look at them.
Inside the hospital, the corridors are long, very clean and bright, and sharp to the ears and nose. Toms looks down one, then another. He rubs his nose. He furrows his forehead and squints through his glasses. Behind the big gray desk, there is a lady in a white square hat. Toms looks at her. Then he walks over and stops before the desk.
The lady is reading a magazine. Her face is turned down so that Toms can see the top of her white square hat. It is very white, square, and flat. Toms remains standing before the desk. The electric light overhead is very noisy and presses against Toms' forehead and temples. It feels hard, dull, and heavy, like a blunted stone. The lady looks up from the magazine, and, as she looks up, her face becomes animated.
"Why, Mr. River!" she says. "Hello! Good afternoon! How are you? I'm sorry," she says, glancing towards the entrance of the hospital, "I didn't even see you come in. I hope you haven't been standing there long, have you? Because you know me, Mr. River, when I get my head down into one of my magazine articles, why, there is just no getting it back up again, is there?"
The lady grins and laughs. She laughs very largely. After the laugh ends, there is silence. Then she blinks her eyes, and, just after blinking them, moves them to the flowers that Toms is holding.
"Awh, why, look at that! You brought flowers for your wife! Really, I must say, you surely are a sweet man, Mr. River. Mrs. River is a very lucky lady to have a husband like you."
The lady turns her head partially to the side and smiles at Toms. Her white square hat sits snuggly on her head. Then her eyes narrow and her head tilts the opposite way.
"Say, Mr. River, did you get a haircut? Or a new tie? I can't put my finger on it exactly, but I swear there's something different about you today."
The lady continues to stare at Toms. She puts her index finger to her mouth and narrows her eyes further. Then she shakes her head.
"Ah, no matter," she says, waving her hand. "I'm sure it's nothing significant. Sure it'll come to me later on, and then I'll say, 'Yes, that's what was different about Tom today!'"
The lady grins bigger and holds her index finger up in the air, and, as she grins bigger, her teeth come out, so that Toms can see them fully. They are very square and white. Like her hat.
Then the lady's cheeks turn red, she puts her finger back down, and says, "Well, I'm sure you want to bring those flowers down to Mrs. River, Mr. River, so don't let me keep you here by the ear any longer."
After she finishes speaking, the lady grins some more. When she is all done grinning, she leans forward out of her seat and across the desk.
"Just down the end of the corridor there, Mr. River," she points. "Last door on the—oh, deary, listen to me! Giving you directions to your own wife's room. Like you haven't been here a hundred times before. Like you don't come in every afternoon at half-past-four on the dot. Forgive me, Mr. River. I must be losing my mind."
The lady laughs and shakes her head.
"Well, be on your way now then, Mr. River. Go and bring those gorgeous flowers down to Mrs. River. I know she'll be just delighted by them."
The lady props her elbow on the desk, her head on her hand, and grins at Toms some more. Toms turns and starts off down the corridor.
"Bye, Mr. River!" the lady calls after him. "Nice talking to you as always!" she says, waving her free hand in the air like a leaf on a breezy tree bough.
At the end of the corridor, Toms comes to a door. He stops before it. He adjusts his glasses so that they sit more firmly on the bridge of his nose. He breathes, and, as he breathes, he can smell the flowers. They smell very fresh. Like warm milk and honey. He reaches for the doorknob. He turns the doorknob. He opens the door. Then he walks into the room and the door closes behind him.
"Toms? Toms River? Is that you?" She leans forward in the bed and peers across the room. "Why, I don't believe my eyes. Toms River." Her face is unanimated. Then it animates. "Oh, Toms, you've come to see me! And look it that! You brought me flowers!" She shakes her head. "Even after all these years, you still know how to charm a lady, don't you, Toms? Why, it's good to see that some things never change."
She smiles at Toms silently. Then her mouth slightly crooks and she smiles at Toms funnily.
"Except, why, what's this, Toms?" she says. "We've gotten some new glasses, have we? You mean to say that after years and years of insisting by his wife that he should go out and buy himself a new pair of glasses, someone has finally gone ahead and done it?"
She curls in her lips and shakes her head.
"My, and are they handsome, Toms! Are they a handsome pair of new glasses indeed. And I guess it just goes to show, doesn't it, Toms, that even old dogs can learn new tricks sometimes. Or with enough nagging from their wives they can anyway."
She smiles and winks at Toms. Toms looks back at her. Her face is wrinkled and has brown blotches on it and her hair is white and falling out but her eyes, her eyes are blue.
"Well, come on, Toms!" she says, intoning with her arms. "Come on over here already and let me smell those lovely flowers!"
Toms starts across the room. At the foot of the bed, he stops. He hands her the flowers. She takes them in her arms and holds them out before her.
"Why, look it all the pretty colors! Let's see here." She squints and fingers through the flowers. "I see some are red. Some are yellow. Looks like some green ones here. And, oh, why, look it, Toms! Some are blue! My favorite color. You remembered, Toms."
She bends her head sideways and smiles at Toms. She presses the flowers to her chest. Then she raises them to her nose and smells them.
"And would you believe that. They smell just as sweet as they are pretty. Like warm milk and honey."
She continues to look at them, smiling. Then her eyes widen and her mouth opens slightly.
"Why, Toms! No! It can't be!" She turns to Toms. "Are these from our garden? Our own garden?" She stares at Toms. Her mouth bends at the corners. She looks back at the flowers. Why, they are! They are! She turns back to Toms. "Oh, Toms, you never cease to astound me. Truly, truly you do not. You mean to say you have kept up our garden? All on your own?" She continues to look at Toms. Then she looks at the flowers. "I don't know what to say, Toms. I just don't know what to say. I'm at a loss for words."
She raises the flowers to her nose and smells them. She closes her eyes. Then she opens them and looks at Toms. She looks him in the eyes.
"You are a good man, Toms. Toms River. You have been a good husband to me. And nothing to come, and nothing in the past, can change that. You understand that, Toms, don't you?"
She continues to look at Toms. Then she looks back at the flowers. She looks at them for a time. Then she sets them down on the table next to the bed. After that, she leans back in the bed, lets her head down upon the pillow, and looks away towards the window, through which some boughs of a tree with red and yellow leaves can be seen.
After awhile, without turning from the window, she says, "I remember the first plant we ever planted in that garden. Do you remember, Toms? I remember like it was just yesterday. It was spring, wasn't it, Toms? Yes, I think it was spring. And we had just been married. Just bought our first house. Little did we know then, huh, Toms, that it would be the house in which we would live the rest of our lives? Well, I guess that's just the way life goes. What makes it mysterious and beautiful and worth it all. Isn't that so, Toms?"
She smiles looking out the window. She is silent.
Then she says, "After we lost Mary, I wondered for awhile if any of it was really worth it at all. Before, I had never imagined that parents could do such a thing as bury their child. As come home one day from work and find a note on the table. 'Don't go upstairs. Don't look in the bathtub. Please, Mom. Just call someone and leave the house. I am sorry. I am so sor—' But then we did it, Toms, didn't we? And when we were done, life was still there. And not only that, there was a lot of it there, and for a long time, too. It took me awhile to understand that, Toms. To know what that really meant and how to live with it."
She continues to look out the window.
"It's sort of funny though, Toms, isn't it? Remembering? It seems like the more that time passes and the less you do new things, the more you remember. And the more you begin to remember, the more things come back that you hadn't thought about for years or even known that you could remember. Like just the other night, Toms, as I was saying my prayers before bed, I remembered my grandmother's hands. The long smooth fingers and the blue bumpy veins. The soft, silky skin that seemed at once so heavy and almost weightless, like a dampened leaf. How comfortably they held a spool of yarn and a pair of wooden needles. How smoothly and effortlessly they rose to make a single back cross. And how gracefully they—"
She laughs aloud. Laughing, her cheek bones go up, the skin around her eyes tightens, and her chest lifts and falls just perceptibly beneath her thin, white-cloth hospital shirt.
"I never was such a fine knitter myself, was I, Toms? Remember that one winter I tried to knit you a new pair of wool socks and they came out looking more like some kind of Soviet ear muffs? Well, they were good for the children's snowman anyway. Odd, Toms, isn't it? Despite the hard times, I never remember being cold in the winter. It seemed we always found some way to keep our home warm. Even if it was just our imaginations, or our love for each other."
Looking out the window, she is silent. Her eyes seem on the verge of closing. Then they reopen fully.
"That wasn't the first plant we ever planted together though, Toms, was it? Or the first tree we ever knelt beneath. Those things came much earlier, didn't they, Toms?"
Her face reanimates and she slaps the bed with her hand.
"Why, Toms, we were just children! Just children, Toms! Remember?" She shakes her head. "To think we were ever really that young. It's strange, Toms, isn't it? And to think that two people could ever know each other as long as we have."
She is silent, looking out the window.
"What do you remember best about it, Toms? I remember the trees in the summer. The sound their leaves made in the breeze. It was like silver wind chimes. Like holly bells. And the yellow and black patches beneath them. The way they shimmered when they moved across the grass in the sunlight and how fresh and green they smelled. And the clouds, too, Toms. Of course I remember the clouds. How we used to lie on our back and look up at them and imagine all different sorts of wonderful things, shapes and animals and continents. The way they flowed down the sky, long and slowly, like ships on some great river ebbing to the sea, and how cool and silent their shadows felt when they passed over your hand or eyelids."
She closes her eyes.
"Sometimes, Toms, when I close my eyes, the memories are so fresh, I feel like I can just reach out and touch them. Like they're just beyond my fingertips. It brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it, Toms? The memories.
She opens her eyes. Just beyond the glass, in the yellow afternoon light, the leaves are ablaze and stirring on the boughs of the tree.
"I'm dying, Toms. I am dying. You know that?"
Ahem. Ahem.She turns towards Toms. She looks at him.
"Yes, dear?" She is silent, looking at his eyes. Then she smiles. "Oh, why, of course, dear. She lifts her arm and points. The door just behind you there. The light switch is on the left."
Toms turns and starts towards the door.
"Toms?"
Toms turns back.
"Would you mind drawing the curtain please, dear?"
Toms stands still. Then he takes a step back towards the bed and reaches for the curtain. He begins to draw it.
"Thank you, Toms," she smiles, as he draws it. Then she turns back towards the window.
Toms turns and restarts towards the door. When he gets to the door, he stops. He reaches for the doorknob. It is cold to the touch. He turns the knob and the door opens. He peers inside. It is dark. With his right hand, he feels inside and to the left. A light comes on. He walks in and closes the door behind him.
Before the curtain, Toms stops. He raises his hand to adjust his glasses so that they will sit more firmly on the bridge of his nose, but then pauses. He lowers his hand. Then he raises it again, takes off his glasses, folds them closed, and puts them into the breast pocket of his coat. He breathes and exhales. He puts his hand into the side pocket of his coat. Then he reaches up and draws back the curtain.
After Toms River had shot his wife twice in the body and once in the face, he turned the gun to his temple. The angle wasn't quite right though, and so he just took a piece off his skull. As he lay on the floor on his side looking up, with the bright wet blood and cool water pooling around his head, he could see the flowers on the table by the bed. Some were red, some were yellow, some were green, and some were blue. And beyond the flowers, through the window, he could see the boughs of the tree, the leaves stirring in the breeze, and beyond that still, the vague and fuzzy outline of a cloud. Then the crowd closed in and Toms couldn't see anymore.

In the recesses of the collective unconscious, there is a vague historical memory of a furry fish. In the time of circus sideshow dime museums, one could expect to find such a rare beast on display, carefully crafted by a clever backwoods taxidermist interested in fabricating folklore. Such hoaxes or unnatural curiosities were commonplace as Canada was still establishing itself as a country, although the tradition of mythical beasts is universal and goes back much further.
The furry fish, also known as the hairy trout, beaver trout, sable trout, etc is a fictitious monstrosity, said to have evolved fur over its scales in order to protect it from a cold, northern climate. No such fish exists for real in any place on earth, but faux taxidermy examples still exist, in places such as Ripley's Believe It or Not museums. In fact, up until the 1930s, one such creature existed on display in the Scottish National Museum as an authentic example of an odd Canadian species of fish, purportedly captured by a fisherman from Gaspé.
It was my intention to recall such a myth in my creation of my salmon, pretend-native to New Brunswick waters. My made-up Latin taxonomic categories of 'Salmonidae hispidus' lend legitimacy to the imaginary sea/river freak. A 'hispid' animal is one that features naturally occurring coarse hair. I worked to produce a pseudo-replica of a taxidermist's hoax, using the salmon form provided, and covering its body in a furry coat of Persian lamb and human hair.

Hat Hut, the great Swiss label that has been releasing top-notch experimental jazz since God knows when, continues in their hatOLOGY series to bring some older recordings back into the limelight. In addition to these, they've also just released Matthew Shipp's solo performance Invisible Touch at Taktios Zurich.
Quintet (Basel) 1977 is a remarkable piece of Anthony Braxton's history for several reasons. First, as Art Lange indicates in the liner notes, the saxophonist/composer was in a period of fluctuation, having dissolved his first quartet with bassist Dave Holland, drummer Barry Altschul and trombonist George Lewis (who had replaced trumpeter Kenny Wheeler). A new quartet was around the corner, but first came this quintet - a set of instruments that Braxton hadn't used much (if at all) up to this point. The real surprise comes from the addition of AACM stalwart Muhal Richard Abrams on piano. Lewis returns on trombone, Mark Helias plays bass and Charles "Bobo" Show plays drums. Braxton uses just three of his many reeds: alto and sopranino saxophones and B-flat clarinet.
With small-print CD covers, we miss out on the illustrated titles of Braxton's pieces. But the speakable titles assign four of the five tracks lettered sections of his "Composition 69." "Composition 40 B" closes the set.
The rapport between the members of the quintet can be felt from the opening moments. Anyone better acquainted with Lewis' computer music and software need to hear him cut loose. In "Composition 69 J" he takes Braxton's ideas and shows he can blow just as wildly, tonguing the notes rather than relying on the slide. The physical part of his playing is on clear display. Abrams follows Lewis with his own aggressive solo.
This isn't all serious music either. After a particularly rabid sopranino solo in "Composition 69 M," a vocal whine sounds like it's offering commentary on Braxton. Actually, it's Lewis again, entering with growl through a mute which surely was meant to evoke some old curmudgeon.
Further, the quintet doesn't shy away from semi-straight jazz either. "Composition 40 B" begins with a line that feels like sped-up bop. Helias starts walking and inspires a clean solo from Abrams before time eventually slips away, leaving the pianist playing at opposite ends of the keyboard. Along with some great propulsion from Shaw, who passed away in January, Quintet (Basel) 1977 serves as a good entry into the Braxton catalog for newcomers.
Which is not a condemnation of the set. Presumably a good number of Ayler fans didn't plunk down the dough for that set when it came out. (Mine was not a promo, in case anyone wonders.) So those folks are hereby encouraged to find this disc, which represents one of highest points in the Ayler canon.
Cherry knew how to react, respond and compliment the elements of Ayler's playing - the wide vibrato, the altissimo wails (where the melodies were in full bloom) and the way they delivered his unique compositions. Recorded at Club Montmartre, the six tracks also present elements of Ayler's writing that didn't always come out on other records. (The set draws on all the tracks from Vibrations, with the glaring exception of "Ghosts," which is actually a nice surprise.) Gary Peacock's bass cuts through Sunny Murray's liberated drumming, and the interaction of the bass and horns elevate the impact of the writing.
So the story goes, Cherry drifted away from the Ayler group shortly thereafter, staying in Europe and eventually discovering his taste for world music. It's hard to tell what would have happened had they stayed together. But this session, which is issued on its own for the first time, gives a good taste of what they accomplished during their period together.
I don't like mimes. Maybe this feeling can be attributed to growing up during a time when Shields & Yarnell were part of primetime variety tv shows. Or maybe the site of too many theater students stuck in an invisible box, full of forced facial expression, creeped me out. Marcel Marceau was an innovator but I'm simply not feeling it. His progeny can stay away.
Linda May Han Oh, whose birthname now follows the Westernized first name that has graced her previous solo albums and appearances with people like Dave Douglas, has found inspiration in Marceau's oeuvre. The bassist appropriated the late French performer's most famous routine, "Walking Against the Wind," as the title track for her latest release. It enters deceptively with Matthew Stevens' guitar playing a metronomic figure while Ben Wendel's tenor adds a high melody over it and Oh follows Stevens underneath. When Justin Brown's drums officially declare themselves around two minutes, he shakes things up, like a Mersey Beat groove just dropped out of the sky. Before long, he's stepped back and things sound pensive again. The leader, whose thick toned attack is a large part of the intrigue here, takes a brief solo which redirects the whole tune, leading into an edgy statement from Wendel, with the band getting tense underneath him before they return to the opening groove.
Oh hasn't changed my mind about those non-speaking Simpsons punchlines, but they sure inspired her to come up with an absorbing composition. Besides, the music won me over before I read the liner notes in Walk Against Wind's unique packaging. But more about that later.
The rest of the album continues the exploratory direction that marked Oh's previous albums. But even as things can change shape quickly, sometimes within the confines of one track, the overall feeling has a strong sense of direction, from the writing to the way the band develops it. The angular jumps in "Perpuzzle" features Oh adding wordless vocals to the fray. Often this device can be a distraction but her syllabic choices never get in the way, working more as a melody than a percussive addition. "Speech Impediment," which proceeds it, also includes vocals, in a piece that starts slow and subtle, but gets jerky as things move on.
Oh's compositions demand that you listen closely until the very end, because she's likely to add some surprise in the final moments rather than simply letting the band go into a coda or closing vamp. In "Lucid Lullaby" Wendell plays a line that sounds very close to Charles Mingus' "Canon" in the final moments. "Midnight" features keyboardist Fabian Almazan adding some overdriven electric piano that pushes Stevens and Oh (who switches to electric bass on a few tunes) into a prog rock direction. "Deepsea Dancers" was inspired by tragedy but the steady undercurrent leads to counterpoint and a warm feeling of reassurance, as different players take turns restating the melody and soloing over it.
Biophilia, a label that Almazan created, doesn't press CDs. Instead the label prints a two-sided cover on FSC-certified (Forest Stewardship Council) paper and plant-based ink that unfolds into 20 panels like origami, which contains all the traditional elements of an album cover and a download code. The idea behind the label delivers the tactile element of music buying along with the ease of digital downloading.
Walk Against Wind began receiving attention before it even hit the street (if that phrase still applies to an album in this format). But Oh and her band deliver once they're given the attention, gathering an array of moods and blending them into what's likely her strongest release yet.
This year, there was actually something coming out on RSD that I wanted, the previously unreleased soundtrack that Thelonious Monk did for Roger Vadim's Les liaison dangereuses which he recorded in 1959. As mentioned in a previous entry, I stood in line at Juke Records the morning of Record Store Day, only to be beaten to the Monk record by the first guy who walked in the door. However, when I was leaving, I was told that the store might be able to get additional copies. Call in a week, they said.
Fast-forward to yesterday, a few phone calls and visits to Juke later. One copy was left. If my life was a Warner Brothers cartoon, I probably would have dashed into the store while Red Bob was still saying, "Hello? Mike?" into the phone. Instead I came in after work a few hours later.
The above photo originally had me peering over the top of the cover, not gloating (I'm not that kind of record enthusiast, folks) but just beaming. However my eyes seemed creepy so I cropped myself out.
The box was expensive, but, man, what a box it is. Not simply a holder for two records in paper sleeves, the box houses two sealed album covers and a 50-page 12"X12" booklet of essays about the recording sessions, the film and Monk's relationship with Paris. There are also photos from the sessions and the film. Musically, the only brand new, never-recorded-anywhere-else by-Monk track is the hymn "We'll Understand It Better By and By," which is less than 90 seconds. There are multiple takes of the other seven tunes. "Six In One" appeared under another name a few months later on Thelonious Alone in San Francisco.
But there are several points of interest. First of all, Monk's band features Charlie Rouse, who had just joined him recently and was still in the process of developing an attack that he maintained for years with Monk. Sam Jones (bass) and Arthur Taylor (drums) had come aboard recently as well, appearing along with Rouse at the first Town Hall Concert, with a large ensemble. They'd also appear, along with Thad Jones (cornet) on Five By Monk By Five, a prime Riverside album. Sam Jones especially was a great bassist for Monk, giving him a solid bounce. Taylor had played with Monk during his Prestige era and complimented the pianist well. A few tracks also feature French tenor saxophonist Barney Wilen joining the group. His additional voice on "Crepuscule with Nellie" gives it more depth.
Most of Side Four of the album is taken up by the real discovery on the album - a fly-on-the-wall recording of Monk trying to teach Taylor the appropriate beat for "Light Blue." Of all the pianist's tricky songs, "Light Blue" ranks up there because its lumbering rhythm and tempo make it a challenge to get the feel right. The 14-minute track reveals the pianist working Taylor, chastising him ("Dumb motherf***er") and keeping to the task. Maybe the whole thing is for completists, but the booklet and that track assured me that I made the right choice. A CD version will be released in a month or so.
I was wondering if I'd make it out to see Clap Your Hands Say Yeah last night, now that I had the new Monk set to digest. However, I made it through three of the four sides, so I figured that would hold me until the next morning. Off into the pouring rain I went, to check out Alec Ounsworth and company.
I spoke with Ounsworth for a City Paper article to preview the show, in which he said that the lineup of the band was completely different than last time they were here. What I wasn't expecting was the heavy roar that the new four-piece lineup produced.
When writing the article, I didn't have the guts or the conviction to compare the new CYHSY album to the Cure or New Order. During my 20s, I couldn't stand the Cure. They were too whiny, mopey and just too caught up in an image to me. Years later, I've come to a little more of an appreciation of them, noticing the catchy elements of their songs, and a dry wit that underlies the mopiest (if that's a word) of their lyrics. The Tourist does have a bit of that Seventeen Seconds-era Cure going for it, with the right combination of guitar and keys scrambling on top of driving beats. Occasionally they also have some of the primitive jangle of New Order too.
But if CYHSY can sound like the Cure in the studio, in person they come on twice as strong without needing of the bands accouterments. Sure, Ounsworth casually rubbed his eyes during "Better Off" but it was hard to tell if that was an affectation or whether the brim of his ever-present hat couldn't keep the bright light out of his eyes. After a few songs, he engaged in a little small talk, which got as far as thanking us for being there before he admitted that's all he could think of saying.
He later told us that Pittsburgh was the penultimate show on the tour, and the band was clearly tight and ready before they hit Club Cafe. More often than not, one song segued quickly into the next, such as when the almost-hit from their debut album, "Is This Love," slammed right into the drum-machine-powered title track of sophomore album Some Loud Thunder. Ounsworth turnedout to be a pretty vicious guitarist too, peeling off some caterwauling leads. His fellow players (whose names I didn't get) were no slouches either.
The 17-song set included five songs from the new album, drawing the rest from the band's previous four. Selections from the debut seemed to get the best response. Ounsworth might have even cracked a grin when someone voiced loud approval for "Over and Over Again (Lost and Found)." It was hard to tell definitively, but he appeared to be chewing gum throughout the set.
Before writing this review, I went through the set list (snatched off the stage at the end of the night), picking out what song came from which album. I decided to compare the version of "Heavy Metal" on the first album with my memory of last night's final song. While the recording does have some overdriven bass, the upper frequencies of the song sound relatively lo-fi. Last the band attacked it like the Volcano Suns in their prime, churning up a big roaring sound that maintained a catchy, hooky quality. The band's previous visit to Pittsburgh was good, but the memory of that lineup seemed to have more to do with atmospherics, which were a big part of 2014's Only Run. While they started with the opening track from that album ("As Always") it served as a jumping-off point for the rest of the set. Last night was about the Rock. And it sounded fantastic.
Solo guitarist/vocalist Laura Gibson opened the evening on a more subdued note. Her first song gave me pause, as she sang in a very affected cat-watching-a-bird-voice, over sparse chords. A few songs in, she won me over with some haunting finger picking and great story in the title track to her album Empire Builder.
Sometimes the blues can sound very simple and effective, hitting the ears like comfort food, with an exhilarating rush coming around bar 9 or 10 of a 12-bar pattern. Sometimes the structure is more deceptive. After listening to Charlie Parker's "Kim" for several years, it was only when I dug into the Parker Omnibook that I realized it was built on the blues, so lost was I in the melody. The same goes for Charles Mingus' "Goodbye Pork Pie Hat." It's only when you play the chords alone (available in the More Than a Fake Book collection of his tunes) that it becomes clear that Mingus was stretching the harmonic possibilities of the blues for something greater.
The Microscopic Septet doesn't set out to redefine the blues on their latest album, but neither are they content to revel in the parlor tricks of the blues either. This band has always approached tradition with an experimental aesthetic, with a lineup that features soprano, alto, tenor and baritone saxophonists and a three-piece rhythm section. The bottom line: swing it like crazy.
Not all of the tracks on Been Up So Long adhere to the blues structure either, and even some that do are deceptive. Like "Kim," they place the emphasis on the melody, so the changes might not be noticed right away. "PJ In the '60s" refers to soprano saxophonist Phillip Johnston during the decade that birthed the New Thing (so to speak), and in doing so opens with tenor saxophonist Mike Hashim unleashing some free squonk. But that's just a red herring intro, which is followed by a straight, four-sax AABA melody that makes the band sound bigger than a septet. If you're looking for wild blowing, it comes one tune later in "When It's Getting Dark," a Batman-esque blues with gruff pronouncements from baritone man Dave Sewelson.
Throughout the horns contrast with each other in terms of attack and delivery, with alto (Don Davis) and tenor sharing space in some choruses, followed with soprano and baritone doing the same. In "Cat Toys" Hashim almost sounds like a few different tenor players, going from dry and reedy to a more liquid, dreamy swing, with even a sprinkle of growling - all within a few choruses. Drawing on different styles of blues, they offer a great Ellington-style sound on "12 Angry Birds."
The wildest moment comes when the Septet re-imagines the old Christmas hymn "Silent Night" as a blues with an opening chorus that sounds like it got tangled in Thelonious Monk's "Crepuscule With Nellie." In doing so, it makes it feel acceptable to be listening to the song during the other 11 months of the year.
The Microscopic Septet first came to life during the early 1980s, bridging the gap between Uptown and Downtown New York jazz. (Pianist Joel Forrester composed the theme for Fresh Air with Terry Gross.) They hung it up in 1992 and four albums, only to pick up again 14 years later and they continue to forge ahead. And the blues continues to grow as well.
I can get rather particular about what I like when it comes to modern jazz groups paying tribute to some bygone era of jazz. If the music seems more devoted to recreating some classic album instead of using the songs to create something new, my skepticism comes on. On the other hand, if a group tips their respective hats to a jazz legend and plays it with the same high level of energy that their predecessors did, they're bound to push it forward and bring new life to it.
That's the way it felt last Saturday at the New Hazlett Theater when Terell ("TEHR-el," as I found out that night) Stafford's quintet came to town. More than anything, this group played like a unit - five guys all on the same wavelength, working together and driving each other. Their two sets leaned heavily on the music of Lee Morgan, but they weren't simply bowing down to the master. Stafford clearly realized that if he is going to play these tunes, he needs to play them with fire. His solos, and those of tenor saxophonist Tim Warfield, Jr. seemed to be lighting a fire under drummer Billy Williams because there were several times that Williams seemed to be adding fills to the music in response to what the horns were playing. During "Mr. Kenyatta," Warfield broke into some Coltrane-like riffs and growls toward the end of his solo, proving that in addition to being a strong melodic player, he can get wild too. Stafford responded by shaping his solo in a way that Sean Jones often does: starting low and subdued and rising up into a frenzy.
Pianist Bruce Barth's name pops up a lot on recording sessions with various people. In person, it's clear why. He shapes chords in a manner that adds a great deal to the music, expanding the melody and tugging on the ear. In a duo version of "Candy" with Stafford, they took the bright melody and turned it into a muted ballad, with Barth adding stride piano, along with touches of Errol Garner and Monk.
The second set opened with Morgan's "Petty Larceny", another raunchy piece of funk, which perhaps not coincidentally found Warfield quoting Hank Mobley's "Funk in the Deep Freeze" during his solo. The tune also let bassist David Wong really stretch out for an impressive solo. When Stafford brought it back together it almost had the feeling of a revival meeting.
Stafford introduced the next song as one of the most beautiful songs he's ever heard, and I was hoping that he'd go back to his Billy Strayhorn tribute and do "Lush Life," which is one of the most beautiful songs ever written. Instead they did Dizzy Gillespie's "Con Alma," which was both lyrical and swinging with a solid Afro-Latin beat, though after the intensity of "Petty Larceny," it was the one time during the night the energy crested. That changed when the group played "Yes I Can, No You Can't" next.
On the way in, I talked with Gail Austin and Mensah Wali of Kente Arts Alliance, who brought the Stafford band to town. The word was that their sound check alone was worth the price of admission. While making announcements between sets, Wali asked the audience to "trust us," meaning that the Alliance (now in it's tenth year) always works hard to present a good show, something worth coming out for. It got me thinking that the people in attendance already trust them but it's the ones who didn't come out who need to keep that in mind. While Stafford might not exactly be a household name, you don't need to know his whole catalog because, in person, he'll blow you away. Following that line, he's also the kind of performer that should make more jazz fans remember Kente Arts down the line, realizing that a show of theirs is worth the investment. With a fall schedule coming up that includes vocalist Rene Marie and drummer Louis Hayes, keep your eyes peeled for their schedule.


Over 160 years ago, the present director Ulrich Hilgefort's great-great-grandfather founded the nucleus of the company in Dinklage. The forge of J. H. Hilgefort was still based directly in the old town centre.
Today, Hilgefort GmbH operates in the industrial district of Dinklage on premises covering more than 75,000 square metres and delivers plant parts and machines to all corners of the globe.
Hilgefort produces and assembles all steel, special steel, copper and aluminium components imaginable, ranging from simple individual components through to complex systems, for customers in a wide range of industries.
The maximum possible dimensions for one-piece components are a diameter of up to 7 m and longer in length of up to 100 m. Larger assemblies are manufactured in segmented designs. This facilitates movement of unit weights up to 300 tons on the rotary devices (hydraulic lift for loading the trailer). The capacity of each of the hall cranes is around 100 tons of unit weight.
Hilgefort produced two material hoppers and components for a condensing tower in the Duisburg-Schwelgern steel works. The material hoppers, which would subsequently be used to fill the blast furnace with ore, coke and all other raw materials, weigh 120 tons each and were manufactured from sheet thicknesses of up to 120 mm.
Hilgefort manufactured an extraction system for the hall roof of an electric steel plant, which weighed a total of approximately 2000 tons. The raw-gas pipeline measured 5.3 m in diameter and the exhaust gas stack on the blower house was 96 m tall in total.
Hilgefort processes steels, special steels, aluminium and copper. The machinery can be used to process sheet thicknesses ranging from 2 mm to 300 mm.

Hereditary risks are "not always obvious," said Alice Kerber, MN, APRN, from the Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education in Atlanta.
"For example, if grandma was diagnosed with cancer at 19 and she's still alive, it was probably cervical, not ovarian, cancer," she told Medscape Medical News. Ovarian cancer sets off alarm bells in the B-RST risk-assessment questionnaire, she explained.
The project reached women who might not otherwise have access to screening. Those identified as high risk by the questionnaire were then given access to genetic testing. Without insurance, genetic testing can cost from $400 to $4000, depending on the tests required.
Education about hereditary cancers is essential, especially in underserved communities. "It can be scary," Kerber said. "Testing tells you if you're going to get cancer or not — it's about planning next steps."
Results from the 3-year project were presented in a poster at the Oncology Nursing Society 2016 Annual Congress in San Antonio.
Staff at primary and community health centers in 13 Georgia primary and community healthcare centers were trained to administer the 5-minute B-RST screen.
"We thought a good place to start was with the Department of Public Health and family planning clinics," Kerber explained. This is where women in the target age group and minorities were easiest to access.
During the study period, B-RST was used to screen 5434 women 18 to 49 years of age for family history of breast and ovarian cancer.
The 287 (5%) women with a positive screen were referred to a genetic specialist for follow-up.
Of these women, 227 (79%) agreed to follow-up contact, 173 of whom completed a detailed family history collection and were provided counseling.
Forty of these women were referred for more in-depth counseling and testing. A BRCA2 mutation was identified in one woman and a variant of uncertain significance was identified in four. In the remaining 35 women, no mutation was identified.
"The woman who tested positive for BRCA2 does not have cancer at this point," Kerber reported. "She's still okay, and not ready for breast reduction."
At the end of the 3-year project, nine women had been diagnosed with breast cancer. "All nine have had treatment and are alive," Kerber told Medscape Medical News. "They did not have the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation."
The project was initiated just months before Angelina Jolie made news by announcing that she had undergone prophylactic mastectomy after finding out she carried the BRCA1 gene, meaning she had an 87% risk for breast cancer and a 50% risk for ovarian cancer.
The timing of Jolie's 2013 announcement boosted understanding of the project substantially, Kerber said. And the same year, the B-RST screening test was recommended by the US Preventive Services Task Force, further validating the work.
In fact, "2013 and 2014 were big drivers of change," she added. "All of the women I talked to had heard of Angelina Jolie."
"B-RST is a great tool for all providers to use to screen women at risk for breast and ovarian cancer," said Cindy Snyder, DNP, from the Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, Georgia.
Dr Snyder Medscape Medical News that she is impressed by the data collection in Georgia, but pointed out that getting the tool implemented as part of routine screening in public health is another thing altogether. "Given the challenges that primary care providers have checking all the boxes, implementing one more thing might be a challenge," she said.
Nonetheless, she said she believes it is worth educating primary care practitioners to have these discussions with patients. "When you tell a woman she has this mutation, she needs counseling and information to make informed decisions for the future," Dr Snyder explained.
At the end of the 3-year project, Georgia began working to implement a state-wide program that screens women in public and community health centers with the B-RST questionnaire and documents hereditary data. As of now, the project has expanded to 33 counties — up from the original seven — Kerber reported.
Ms Kerber and Dr Snyder have disclosed no relevant financial relationships.

These necklaces are made out of Amethyst chips that have been gathered together to make a beautiful necklace.
Each one has then been individually placed on the necklace to create the chip necklace effect.
What is amazing is each little piece has been individually drilled with a very small hole. A lot of craftsmanship has gone into creating each lovely necklace. I can only imagine how much time it took to thread each little piece one by one.
You can see from the photo how long the necklace is. It is a comfortable 36inches the whole way around. I've got a normal size upper body torso and you can see where it hangs on my chest.
The price point for the Amethyst chip necklace here is perfect, coming in at just $18. Not only is the price point great, but a necklace like this is such a neutral colour combination loved by everyone.
Every girl would love a lovely purple amethyst necklace like this in their collection. If they love wearing a white top, then this purple will go so well together. As you can see in the photo, the purple amethyst contrasts beautifully with the white shirt.
Please Note: You will receive one similar to the photograph; however, amethyst chip necklace is made from a natural stone and will vary slightly.

Permanent Short North murals nominated for international award
Tanisha Thomas
The eye-catching towering murals in the Short North have been nominated for an international award.
Last summer, two Los Angeles-based artists, Ryan "Yanoe" Sarfati and Eric "Zoueh" Skotnes, created three permanent murals on the sides of the Graduate Columbus hotel, 750 N. High St, a project titled "The Journey."
The project featured hummingbirds and mythological figures representing "prosperity," and a Somali woman, who is a depiction of Hodan Mohammed, leader of local Somali community organization Our Helpers and founder of the Columbus Somali Festival.
The artists also worked on an app for the public to be able to download and experience the art through an augmented reality to view the art in 3D.
The project is among the top 100 commissioned art projects chosen for a CODAaward, an award CODAworx gives out annually to projects "that integrate commissioned art into an interior, architectural, or public space." CODAworx is an online hub to connect with and commission creatives for public space artwork projects.
The public can vote for as many projects as they'd like, but there is a one vote per day limit for each project. The top two most-voted works receive the 2020 "People's Choice" award.
You can vote for the "The Journey" at www.codaworx.com/codaawards/2020-codaawards-top-100/. Voting ends at 12:59 a.m. July 1). Final winners will be announced Aug. 30.

Some call it the suburban office building of the future.
It has expansive gallerias topped by skylights, gazebos instead of water coolers and atria filled with trees. The private offices are small, but the common areas are big. The cafeteria is decorated to look more like Paris than Hoffman Estates.
That makes sense because there are lots of good restaurants in Paris.
The new $305 million Ameritech Center is in sprawling Hoffman Estates, not even within walking distance of a pair of golden arches, much less a French brasserie. Solution: Make the company cafeteria seem continental.
Ameritech, the divested Baby Bell firm that runs the telephone companies in five Midwestern states, cut the ribbon Thursday on its new campus-style office complex, where 2,500 employees will soon go about the business of communication. Ameritech`s headquarters, and those of Illinois Bell, its biggest subsidiary, will remain in downtown Chicago.
''futuristic,'' company officials concede. Office campuses, company cafeterias, and work stations have been around in suburbia for decades.
But how many suburban office buildings are dominated by four-story gallerias that function as giant hallways connecting the central atria?
Several visitors said Thursday that the gallerias reminded them of the new United Airlines terminal at O`Hare International Airport.
The gallerias also serve as air and light shafts because they have skylights, as hallways because they are traversed by suspended walkways, and as work space because many work stations are on balconies hanging out over them.
As a result, Ameritech workers can peer over their third-floor work stations and watch sparrows that have somehow found their way indoors, winging about a stand of giant bamboo trees that tower above the galleria floor.
''The aviary was unintentional,'' said Jeffrey Smith, manager of media relations for Ameritech Services, one of the subsidiary tenants of the new building.
The smaller work stations and executive offices were intentional, as were their locations.
The work stations have high walls for privacy`s sake and are nearest the windows. The 150-square-foot offices for the bosses-about half the size of their former offices-are in the core of the building farthest from the windows and skylights. But they all have small windows that look out onto the hallway. The water coolers, where employees used to gather to socialize and gossip, were deliberately designed out of the building. Instead there are kitchenettes with vending machines, sinks and refrigerators, and ''break-out areas.'' The latter are gazebo-like pods that contain copiers and printers and a small table-''a pleasant place for employees to gather on an informal basis,'' according to company literature.
Ultimately, the building will also have a travel agency, convenience store, automatic teller machines and a fitness center with dressing rooms and shower.
This complex is so complex that portions of the walls in the 1.3 million- square-foot structure (about the same space as a 50-story high-rise or five football fields) have been color-coded to keep employees from getting lost.
But there are some problems native to suburbia that the best architects in the world can`t solve. Flocks of Canada geese took over the lake on the campus even before the first employee moved in. They have been ravenously devouring the grass seed ever since. Sod anyone?
