Your Cobra spectrometer is an essential component of a spectral-domain optical coherence tomography (SD-OCT) system. SD-OCT systems require spectral measurement of interferometric signals at very high-speeds. A Cobra spectrometer with its high sensitivity and high speed is ideally suited for this application. Cobra spectrometers receive light input via a single-mode fiber connected with an FC/PC connector. Dispersive optics in the spectrometer direct different frequencies or wavelengths to different pixels in the sensor. This provides spectral information about the input the light signal. The electrical output from camera is transferred to a personal computer using a camera link connection.
This section provides generic instructions for setting up a Cobra spectrometer. Please note each model differs in shape, size and looks based on the selected configuration.
Step 1 Unpack items from the box that include Cobra Spectrometer and fiber optic cable. Based on choice of camera user will have appropriate power supply or a USB cable if the device USB powered. In addition user will have a sheet with a QR code and a cloud drive link where all relevant files are located. In certain cases user will receive another box provided by third party camera manufacturer.
Step 2 Connect FC/PC end of optical fiber to the spectrometer as shown. Light should be introduced to the FC/APC side of the spectrometer using a mating connector.
Step 3 Connect the smaller end of camera link cable(s), called SDR (Shrunk Delta Cables), to the spectrometer. Note in case the camera is being operated at a rate where medium or full camera link mode is used, two camera link cables are required.
Step 4 Connect the larger end of camera link cable(s), called MDR (Mini D Ribbon), to the camera link card installed in your computer.
Step 5 If the camera is USB powered like the Cobra with a Wasatch internal camera, connect the USB micro type B connector to the spectrometer and USB type A side of the cable to the power. In case any other camera is used (such as Basler, Dalsa, SUI), connect appropriate power to the camera.
Step 6 Insert the power supply to the wall outlet (120-220 V/50-60 Hz).
At this stage the Cobra OCT Spectrometer has been setup and we are ready to test it with control software. Control software talks to the spectrometer via the camera link card.
Continue to the section tabs at upper left for further detail on specific hardware combinations.
To test your Cobra Spectrometer with a National Instruments NI PCIe-1433 card, make sure that the card is installed in the PC and the Cobra spectrometer is connected.
The following file is required in order for NI MAX to communicate to the camera.
The camera must first be configured to have the same settings as defined by the ICD file linked above. To do this, launch CommCamm and then follow the prompts for an autodetect. If the device is powered and the cameralink cables are properly connected, you will see an image similar to the following image. Select the Octopus camera and hit the "Connect" button above the table.
The default ICD file provided is configured for 2-taps, so we will need to verify this in the 2-taps mode and for the purposes of verifying operation, we will set the test image to be a CheckerBoard.
Once the camera is configured to be in agreement with the supplied camera file, we can now retrieve our data through National Instrument's Measurement and Automation Explorer (NI-MAX).
Launch NI-MAX and navigate to the connected camera. This will look similar to the image below.
Right click on the connected camera "Channel 0" and load the supplied camera file by right clicking, selecting "Open Camera" and then selecting the ICD file.
Once done, you can now select the "Grab" button above the image and will now see the test checkerboard pattern begin scrolling in the window, similar to the image below.
You can now go back to CommCam to disable the test image and begin using your spectrometer.
To test SUI Camera enabled Cobra Spectrometer with Teledyne DALSA LX1 card make sure the card is installed in the PC and Cobra spectrometer is connected as described in the Setting up the Cobra OCT Spectrometer section.
The following files are required, and are provided on an instrument specific configuration basis. Look for the QR code link to the cloud storage location for these files. The image shown here is an example of the sticker found on your device, with a QR code and short link (goo.gl/RDDNWn) pointing to the calibration information and configuration files for a particular instrument.
Start the Sapera Configuration program and assign the COM port for the camera link serial connection as shown. Reboot the computer for the serial port changes to take effect.
Note that no serial configuration over camera link is required, as SUI cameras come from the factory pre-configured. They will automatically read from the sensor and put data on the camera link cable on power up.
1. Start the Sapera CamExpert Program.
2. Load the previously downloaded Cobra_<model name>.ccf file under configuration dropdown menu.
3. Click the 'Grab' button.
4. Click the Graph icon (at the far right of the icon bar), then choose the line profile option to verify that the spectrometer is returning high gain data.
To test Cobra spectrometer with National Instrument NI PCIe 1433 card make sure card is installed in the PC and Cobra spectrometer is connected as described in the Setting up the Cobra OCT Spectrometer section.
NI Vision Acquisition Software VAS_August2012.
2. Start NI Measurement and Automation explorer, verify the software installation matches the screenshot shown here. As of this writing on 2015-04-09, the installation procedure has been tested with Labview 2012, NI-IMAQ 4.7 and NI-VISA 5.2. You may have different versions on your system. The versions shown the right are known to work on windows 7 and windows 8 systems.
As shown in the screenshot here, you may see the Basler A504k camera auto selected. This is the default camera .icd file selected during the National Instruments IMAX installation process.
4. In step 1 above, the GL2048L-10A_icd0170rev6.icd file was copied to the NI IMAX icd file directory. To select that file for usage in IMAX, right click the Channel 0 entry, Go to Camera -> Goodrich -> GL2048L…rev6 file as shown in the image here.
5. Click the Grab button.
6. Click the Histogram button.
7. Click the 'Save Image' button, and save the file with a .TIF format.
The spectrometer camera board has an FPGA that provides control of the linescan array and sends out data via the serial port in the Camera Link board and cable.The spectrometer is designed to conform to the Camera Link standards for pinouts and I/O. The spectrometer has been tested with Camera Link cards from Dalsa and National Instruments, but any card that conforms to the Camera Link standards should work.
For the 2048 pixel arrays, base Camera Link configuration is used. This requires one Camera Link cable connected to the top connector (closest to the USB connector). For base Camera Link, the bottom connector is not used. The Camera Link interface should be configured for 12-bits per port with interleaved pixels.
For external triggering the CC1 line on the base Camera Link connector is used. Triggering should use LVDS values compatible with the Camera Link itnerface, with trigger pulses that are at least 1 microsecond long.
The following command sequence can be used to start generating lines from the camera. This sequence uses internal triggering and generates A-scans at a rate of 10,000/second. Please see the following section for a detailed description of the commands.
NOTE: To stop generating lines, use lsc 0. Be sure to use an lsc 0 command BEFORE changing int, gain, or offset.
NOTE2: The above commands MUST be sent prior to image capture. The instrument does not gather data until an lsc 1 command is sent.
Remarks: Initializes sensor registers; must be done before any other commands.
Response: '<ok>\n' if value is accepted. '<err>\n' otherwise.
Remarks: Sets the integration time in microseconds. The valid range is 1 to 32,767 µs. This command can be sent without a parameter to read the current value. This should only be set when the camera is NOT scanning (i.e. after an lsc 0 command). The integration time must be at least 2 microseconds less than the line time (ltm).
Remarks: Sets the line time in microseconds. Valid range is 22 to 65,535 µs. The ltm must be larger than the integration time. This command can be sent without a parameter to read the current value. This should only be set when the camera is NOT scanning (i.e. after an lsc 0 command).
Remarks: Sets the trigger source. A value of 0 designates an internal trigger and a value of 1 designates an external trigger. The default setting is the internal trigger generated from the line time. This should only be set when the camera is NOT scanning (i.e. after an lsc 0 command).
Remarks: Line scan control. Set to 1 to start scanning, set to 0 to stop scanning.

Hockenheim / Dusseldorf, 24 March 2014 – With their largest stand to date, Weidenhammer Packaging Group (WPG) is presenting a comprehensive portfolio of modern convenience packaging at interpack 2014 in Dusseldorf (March 8-14, Hall 9, Stand C 34 / D 31). Europe's leading supplier of durable, attractively labelled packaging solutions will be introducing important new developments and presenting traditional favourites. These include composite cans and drums and high-quality plastic containers designed with In-Mould Labelling (IML) processes. One of the main attractions is WPG's extremely impermeable barrier packaging, including peel-off top composite cans and plastic trays produced with Weidenhammer's patented PermaSafe® technology. Weidenhammer will also be introducing the NaturalCan, a composite can produced using sustainable materials.
Increased product protection and a variety of design options are among the most important characteristics of all WPG packaging solutions. This starts with the classic composite can, available in various formats – cylindrical, non-cylindrical and even oval – and sizes. It delivers optimum protection for moisture-sensitive dry bulk goods and boasts extremely eye-catching labelling for the POS. Products packaged in Weidenhammer composite cans range from foodstuffs like instant beverages, sauces, snacks and cereals to non-food products like tobacco, pharmaceutical and gardening products and pet food.
Alongside the EvoCan – the newest generation of composite cans – individual packaging solutions like the SnackCan for stacked chips will be on display at interpack. WPG will also debut the NaturalCan this year. A new development in packaging, the NaturalCan embodies WPG's response to a growing market with a particular focus on sustainable products and packaging solutions. The NaturalCan has a special emphasis on sustainable materials and is manufactured using 100% green energy. The NaturalCan is the perfect choice for manufacturers of organic and natural products. Environmentally friendly uncoated paper is used for the label, which also points to the sustainability of the packaged products.
"Our composite cans represent convenience packaging par excellence! They are ideal for takeaway products and are easy to open and reseal. That's why they are so popular with consumers," explains Rolf Regelmann, Director of Sales and Marketing at WPG. This versatile WPG can offers retailers benefits in product and aroma protection, and as well as marketing benefits. With its wraparound labelling, this ready-made packaging means products no longer need to be decanted into other storage containers. Branding is visible to the consumer long after the product is opened. "In addition, special closures like shaker tops and dispenser lids can make the container more appealing to the consumer – which strengthens the brand image at the same time," says Regelmann.
Weidenhammer Plastic Packaging (WPP), WPG's plastics division, also specialises in high-quality packaging with additional uses for the consumer. WPP's plastic containers are produced using thin-walled injection moulding technology and are labelled with modern In-Mould Labelling technology (IML).
In addition to packaging for sausage products, WPP is placing a special focus on dairy products at interpack 2014. WPP's product range extends from plastic trays for ice cream to specially designed containers for mozzarella balls, as well as a small butter container which WPP developed for DMK (Ravensberger brand) as a new IML container. A special visually appealing modern two-chamber container with folding seam for dessert products is also on display. The side and bottom labels are seamlessly integrated without edges for a perfect all-round design (full cover experience) – a WPP innovation that is only available to the European market. The container has a soft, rounded bottom edge and is pleasing to the touch.
"The advantage of our IML packaging is not just in the attractive look and feel", says Rothschink. "We are also continuously improving the sealing properties of our plastic trays." The newest developments from the PermaSafe® packaging range will also be on display at interpack 2014. Since its launch, the "reinvention of the metal can", developed by WPP especially for sterilised and pasteurised foodstuffs, has attracted numerous new clients. Practically impermeable to oxygen and steam, PermaSafe® guarantees high levels of hygiene and a long shelf life for delicate products like ready-to-serve food, sausage products and dips.

It's a free day in Sàigòn, and some of us are walking up Tự Do Street to the cathedral, Nhà Thờ Đức Bà Sàigòn. I pushed for this; I've been here before. Pictures from an earlier visit to Sàigòn are at embassy.html, but there are no pictures from the interior.
I need shots of the inside not just because I'm curious, but also because Tim Clancy, a friend of mine and my wife's, is a Jesuit. On a recent visit to Salt Lake City, Tim made a special point of visiting the Cathedral of the Madeleine.
The Madeleine is notable in that the Stations of the Cross, inside, feature more people of color than whites.
And the interior is reminiscent of early 20th C Egyptian revival architecture.
On our walk up Tự Do, this man in a white shirt and white baseball hat matches speed with me. "I think you've been here before," he says. "Yes, in 1970," I say. "You've been here before" is a polite way of saying, "I think you were a soldier." Several people have already said that to me, and I wonder how they know. I look much less like a former GI than even Bill, I think, although it's possible that what I think ex-GIs look like is just another stereotype; but I'm a remf and Bill's a combat veteran. Anyone can tell that, I think, although later, Steven tells me that it's an age thing; he's been asked that several times each trip, and he was never in the service.
The gentleman turns out to have been a Colonel with the ARVNs; he asks where I was stationed. I list them, and add in the places I visited for short times, trying to pronounce them correctly. When I mention Củ Chi, he breaks out into a grin. "I was there too," he says. I ask if he means he was at the base the Vietnamese called Đồng Dù, and he says yes. I try to ask when he was there, and he shows me a laminated page with the dates of his service on it; his whole story seems to be there, but I don't absorb it. He asks for money. I know that life for former ARVN officers can be pretty rough; some have gotten lucky, but others haven't. This guy is one of the latter. I assume he's a street person. Like all the street vendors and street kids and beggars, he's spotlessly clean. In the US, a street person would almost certainly smell from lack of showers. Here, it seems, everyone finds a way.
I give the former ARVN Colonel 50,000 đồng, and he starts talking to Bill; that's when I take the picture above. The conversation looks acrimonious, but it's not; Bill is telling his story and, like most of us, he talks with his hands. Off to the right, in shadow, you can make out Christina and Allison, waiting for us. The Colonel could have talked to Christina, since she's the daughter of a vet, but he has only talked to me and to Bill. Is there a sign that we're wearing? An invisible aura? We don't have the detector for whatever it is; I know I sure can't tell if a Vietnamese was in the Army unless he or she is wearing a uniform. The only way I would have guessed in the Colonel's case would have been by his erect posture and military bearing. I'm not like that.
Thirty-two years ago, there was no Diamond Plaza. The grass wasn't as green, nor was it as well cared for; the trees are much healthier looking now. But this time, I can go inside, since I'm not in a Jeep with a driver who's trying to navigate the traffic when he doesn't know how it works, and I'm no longer carrying an M79 grenade launcher.
The cathedral is full of visitors, but I wait till most of them clear out of the front pews before taking a picture.
Just behind me, and to my left, there are a couple of dozen Vietnamese sitting in pews fanning themselves. I notice the electric fans aren't running, although there are plenty of them. It may be hot, but it is still sacred space. The architects are right; it's not about the forms of the columns and the colors and curves of the walls; it's the shape of the space made by the nave, the chancels and the transept.
I take this picture from the crossing. The blue banner hanging on the right says "Hãy bứơc đi trong ánh sáng. Isaiah 2.5." "Come, let us walk in the light." My little electronic dictionary isn't a lot of help with this phrase; I have to wait until I get back to America and can consult both the Bible and a better dictionary. The e-dictionary's been a wonderful thing to have, but it's more suited to translating shop signs and maps than passages from the Bible or sayings of Uncle Hồ.
The Stations of the Cross here feature neon lighting.
And other accomodations to the local traditions and culture.
I've walked all around the cathedral, inspected all the stations of the Cross. I take a break, sitting, like the Vietnamese, in a pew as far away from the altar as possible. I sit and fan myself and think about my mother. It's because I'm in a cathedral; on April 4, 1983, our Jesuit friend Tim's brother, Kevin, died at 24, of leukemia.
Audrey and I went to Kevin's funeral and it was, naturally, in a Catholic church; during the service, a woman with a soaring voice, powerful enough to fill cathedrals, sang a hymn which stuck in my mind.
When my mother died in early 1989, my brother asked what music we should have at the funeral. I told him I knew just the piece, and I called up the Clancys. To my distress, none of them knew the song and the woman who'd sung at Kevin's funeral had moved away, leaving no forwarding address. I ended up settling for "Amazing Grace" and hating the preacher Dad asked to speak at the funeral home. We lucked out at the graveside service, in Evansville, Indiana, with a Reverend Crow from the Garvinwood Baptist Church. He spoke softly, and when he was done it didn't seem quite so cold in the tent anymore. Sacred space is created not only by columns and arches.
I look around, and it seems that I'm almost the last one in here. At the main entrance, where it looks straight down Tự Do Street, I take a picture of the Virgin from the back.
The buildings in the distance are hotels halfway down Tự Do Street. The building on the left, the one with the curved arch, is the Caravelle Hotel, which is next to the Opera House. The Sông Sàigòn, the Sàigòn river, is only a mile away.
We're through here, so the group mills around. We know where we're going—that's already been decided—but milling seems to be something we do very well. Eventually, we set off walking, but I'm not sure how we go; I don't remember seeing the Reunification Palace park on the way, and that would have been the most logical way to go. However we get there, we arrive at what looks like just another intersection in a busy city.
On June 11, 1963, at the intersection of Nguyễn Đình Chiểu and Cách Mạng Tháng Tám streets in Sàigòn, Thích Quảng Đức set himself on fire here to protest the anti-Buddhist policies of President Diệm. Like Quách Thị Trang, he is a martyr.
The street names have changed; after 1975, many streets in Sàigòn were renamed. In 1970, and throughout the Vietnam War, some street names were famous; the most famous of all was the one that the Americans at home and the GIs called "Two Dough" Street. Tự Do would properly have been pronounced "Two Yo" (in the South) or "Two Zo" (in the Central and North); it means "Freedom" or "Liberty" Street. Under the French, it was called the Rue Catinat.
I assumed "catinat" had something to do with hookers, since "catin" in French means trollop. Later, I researched the name. The first link I found claimed that it was the name of a warship that saw action in 1856 and 1859, under the command of William Lelieur de Ville-sur-Arc, near Đà Nẵng. Then I found references to a Nicolas de Catinat, a Grand Marshal of France who lived from 1637 to 1712, and next I found an actual street in Paris with the same name, which appears to be named after the Grand Marshal. Although there's a missing link here, my guess would be that the warship would have been named after either the Grand Marshal or his street. Naming a street after a warship that helped in the subjugation of Việt Nam would not have endeared the French name to Uncle Hồ and the other revolutionaries; it seems particularly apropos to rename such a street Tự Do, Liberty Street. The hookers might have taken the freedom part a little too literally, because the most famous red light district ever was right there in downtown Sàigòn from 1949 to 1975. I suspect that for a few days, even after April 30, 1975, business went on as usual on the street that leads from the biggest cathedral in Việt Nam to the Sông Sàigòn. The communists changed the street's name to Đồng Khởi, meaning uprising or rebellion. Check out this link for some comments on Việt Nam and a poem on street name changes.
I'm not comfortable with those name changes; I find it difficult to think of Đồng Khởi Street and Hồ Chí Minh City. I'll stick with Tự Do and Sàigòn.
Andrew, below, is stepping off the curb into traffic; the rest of us followed him, trying to practice everything we'd been taught about moving organically through the thick Sàigòn traffic.
The corner we're on is opposite from Thích Quảng Đức's shrine. In 1963, the monk's friends drove him to this intersection, where he sat in the street just about where that white car is in the picture above. Later, in Huế, we see the Austin in which he arrived from the Ấn Quang pagoda on Sư Vạn Hạnh Street in Sàigòn.
We're looking up at the shrine; no one knows why there is a grey swatch on the Most Venerable's robe. Ed and Kate squeeze inside the gate and make an incense offering. Others of us talk to some kids.
I look around; I take a picture of the building right next to the shrine.
It's the District 3 Meeting Hall for the People's Committee of Thành Phố Hồ Chí Minh. Meeting halls like this are everywhere, as are the green-uniformed soldiers—the bộ đội—of whom we're not supposed to take pictures. In the countryside, also everywhere, are cemeteries for the VC and NVA who died during the long struggle for independence.
We never see cemeteries for the ARVN soldiers who died. Their side lost, after all.
We are told that the words mean "The nation recognizes your sacrifice." There are hundreds of these places all over the South. There may have been just as many up North, but I don't recall seeing them in the same numbers. Regardless, it's a lot of graves. This one seems smaller than most of the others I've seen. There are workers here, renovating and repairing. Everyone in these graves was born in the area; most are men. There are a few unknown soldiers in tombs around the country, but when identities are determined the government takes great pains to send the remains home. They have the right to die where they were born, or at least to be buried nearby. I wonder about the ARVNs. I have to assume they are for the most part buried on their families' lands, but no one's ever said.
—Quoted by A.J. Langguth in Our Vietnam.
As Americans, we do not understand statements like this. We do not understand what makes martyrs burn themselves to death. We think we understand sacrifice, such as Quách Thị Trang's, but it's at one remove; she was in the wrong place at the wrong time, standing up for something she believed in, we think. What we don't get, though, is what Thích Quảng Đức did, which is what I now believe not to be that distant from what the VC and the NVA did.
I remember Thích Quảng Đức's death. I was a sophomore in high school at the time, mystified by the concern my parents, especially my mother, were showing about someplace I'd never heard of. Most people hadn't heard about Việt Nam in 1963, but Mom was a conspiracy theorist, always on the lookout for yet another way the government was trying to put one over on us. I never put much stock in what Mom learned about Việt Nam, even when I ended up there in 1970. "I don't want to know, Mom," I'd write to her. I didn't know then why I was there, but I could have known if I'd listened to her.
In 1970, hardly anyone knew. Every GI you saw incountry knew that there was no winning, no compromise with an enemy who slept with you, did your laundry and cut your hair, who stole your clothes to fool your own tracking dogs, who gave awards like "American Killer" and "Tank Killer" to young girls with AK-47s, an enemy who still, thirty years later, puts pictures of those young girls on the tourist brochures and makes those tourists watch propaganda films about those near-children. I think that during the war, only some of those who were distant from the country and the land and the people, who were gung-ho John Waynes and generals and high-ranking brass who weren't concerned about anything except upping the body count, only they—and my Mom—knew why America was involved in the war. It wasn't a good reason, which is why it didn't play in Peoria. Sometimes the conspiracy theorists are right, even if you're related to them.
Not long after Dad died in January of 2000, I started wondering about the hymn that had been sung at Kevin's funeral, and should have been sung at Mom's. I remembered what I thought was the first line, and I now belonged to the Classics list, which had been a fount of unexpected and unlikely information in the past, so I posted a query.
I'm a Buddhist, not a deist, but there are times now, in Việt Nam, when I think I'm dreaming.
who seems perfectly comfortable. I wish I could be as relaxed; I'm not a very good Buddhist.

Words by MC Galang and Ian Urrutia
Let's skip the fanfare and dive right into this week's round of New Music We Love. Enjoy.
MC'S PICKS
'In Higher Dimension' – BABYBLUE (PH)
Music's relationship with memory is fickle at best, how it vacillates from the silly but ultimately harmless to the random but vivid and piercing—unique to each one of us. BABYBLUE's "In Higher Dimension" tips on the latter scale. It's a highly visual piece of work, unspecific and categorically abstract except for its allusions to a "higher dimension."
It's hard to attach an emotion to it, but rather, it invites curiosity: no rhyme or reason, but maybe just an opportunity to engage, to experience. It's not hard, with the lofty production and eerily cosmic atmosphere that I've come to associate with BABYBLUE's work, a strangely comforting space where you can easily find yourself tuning out everything else and allow yourself a moment of self-expansion. Whatever that means for you.
Experience it better below:
'Carousel' – Lexie Liu (CN)
Lexie Liu's latest album, GONE GOLD, sees The Rap of China alumna fully shedding her rap persona and settling a more pronounced pop-R&B wheelhouse. While it's not unheard of for musicians to make this switch, especially with the artistic and commercial incentives that come with experimenting with multiple styles as genres are becoming convenient marketing strategies to rack up streaming numbers more than anything else, the results may not always be satisfactory.
Liu obviously knows her strengths and plays to it to her advantage. GONE GOLD goes from new wave and disco to trip hop and alt pop with relative ease. "Carousel," one of my favorites from the album, is a plushy synth-pop, disco lite number that's not too left-field for nighttime pop radio airwaves but just enough to let your hair down—and shimmy—in the club.
'Papillon' – Andy The Thai, YOYO (TH)
With 33 volumes in, New Music We Love has been a great excuse to scour high and low for new electronic artists and releases because god forbid they've always gotten so much press from outlets outside of FACTMAG and Mixmag.
Sardonic musings aside, this space will always be dedicated to exciting electronica discoveries. Just because Daft Punk—and by extension, music publications' interest in electronic music producers in general who don't feature pop star vocalists—are no more, doesn't mean the music and art form doesn't exist.
Andy The Thai and YOYO's house track "Papillon" is a French delight: chic and soothing, and a repeat listen is required. It's easy to associate it with luxurious things—beauty and comfort money can buy. It's VOGUE, a glass of champagne, marble floors, plump pillows, ceiling-to-floor glass windows, and the city beneath your feet.
'LUFU' – ØZI f/ GSoul, Arin Ray (TW)
Taiwan's ØZI excels at delivering radio-friendly R&B and hip-hop ballads and "bangers" to my guiltless pleasure. "LUFU," his latest single off Pedestal, packages the unrepentant horniness of Jodeci's "Freek'N You" with the down-on-my-knees confessional R&B hits of the '90s and early aughts (Usher's 8701 immediately comes to mind).
Modern romance may be different in its variety of and limitless access to heady agents of pleasure and pain (The Weeknd has built an entire career out of loveless sex)—as well as their numbing counterparts—but the consequences never really change and chronicling the process and the aftermath will remain to be one of music's most potent narratives. And I'm always here for it.
IAN'S PICKS
'Be Sweet' – Japanese Breakfast (US/KR)
After years of embracing grief-stricken pain on her previously released albums, Michelle Zauner is finally ready to make songs that evoke the purest sensations of joy and bliss. "Be Sweet" is a glorious step toward this newfound direction: a vibrant slice of synth pop that touches on the groovy side of music-making. The song finds Summer Noise alum Japanese Breakfast whipping her version of a summer anthem while not exactly pandering to the reigning trends of our time.
Instead of trying to replicate the formula of the buzziest crossover acts on TikTok and pop radio, Zauner travels back in time to cop out some of the most colorful and effervescent bops of the '8os—from Madonna to Talking Heads, Blondie to Duran Duran, all while sounding like she's having a blast.
'When You Fell Asleep' (f/ Dara Delila) – Beetleflux (ID)
Beetleflux's best tracks are often marked by a balance between noise and melodic glitter, and on their cover of a My Bloody Valentine classic, they didn't hesitate to apply their musical strengths for another shambolic mythology of a romantic relationship gone sour. Dara Delila and Aulia Nasution's heavenly boy-girl harmonies provide a counterpoint to the song's fuzzed-out edginess and atmospheric vibe, giving it a more pop sheen. While the band remains respectful of the original's menacing punk spirit, their version is strong and sweet enough to warrant multiple listens. Weightlessly hazy and eternally lost in a fever dream, the track captures so well the feeling of not wanting to wake up anymore from this unpleasant nightmare.
'Lemonade' – Belinda May (JP)
Belinda May coasts through the delicate divide between shoegaze and twee pop on their new single "Lemonade." Though their brand of music invites you on a journey deeper into the subconscious, the Japanese band avoids the trappings of the genre by bringing a new mix of human-like possibilities to the track, rendering it with a homier touch instead of going beyond the surreal. Swooning its way to perpetual dreaminess, 'Lemonade' shimmers with youthful exuberance and gossamer-like harmonies. It's three minutes of pure pop goodness whose melodies soar above the honeyed stickiness.
'Lovemonth' – Yukika (JP/KR)
Beneath its nostalgic sheen and near-obsessive production, Yukika's 'Lovemonth' is an ode to finding love in a new home away from home. The song succeeds in playing up to city pop's strengths without abandoning the cutting-edge influence of K-pop to its sound. Effortlessly giddy, smooth, and exuberant, 'Lovemonth' preserves an aura of seamless artificiality that is not purely meant to be enjoyed for the guiltless pleasures that it brings, but for providing a slick soundtrack to cosmopolitan romance in an era that gravitates toward the '80s retro-future rather than the very uncertain present.
'Talk! Talk!' – Ena Mori (PH)
Despite the limited possibilities of recording alone at home, Ena Mori finds innovative ways to make use of whatever resources she has and taps into her desire to make game-changing music that reflects her current state of mind. "Talk! Talk!" builds on this creative insularity: an attempt for the indie pop star to listen to the voices inside of her head, and take advantage of the process to create something that she hasn't done before, sonically and lyrically speaking. Ena Mori shares that the song was recorded over her mom's little closet, which allows her to a be the person that she wants to be right at that exact moment. With help from producer Timothy Run, "Talk! Talk!" sounds like the work of someone stepping further into the experimental realm of pop music, completely committed to its craft without necessarily rejecting the escapist side of it.
'All That' – Ylona Garcia (PH)
No, this isn't a cover of Carly Rae Jepsen's smooth, effervescent '80s ballad. For all its sparkly, post-pandemic vibe and empowering statement, "All That" marks Ylona Garcia's transformation from a pop underdog to 88Rising's next-gen star, confidently moving past the shitstorm that was 2020. As part of her conscious effort to turn disco revival into a modern jam that feels spiritually in tune with the distant future, Ylona's "All That" expands her interest in telling stories about newfound independence, self-love, and resilience, completely unfiltered while demonstrating her capacity to balance commercial demands with her inherent sense of restraint.

Home is special to me for many reasons. At home, I can be myself and my family loves me. My home is so nice and comfy. In my basement my grandparents live. When I first saw my home, I thought maybe I wouldn't like it, and I like it a lot because we've grown in it. People come in and out of my home almost every day and I really like it. It's where I can play around and do whatever I want, well, except cause trouble. It's where I can do many things like playing board games. I can do me at home. It's so great to have a home because it's where I almost do everything. When I feel like being me, it feels right because it is my home. At home, I do whatever my parents tell me to do without complaining. When I have my own room only I would sleep in it. When I want something my parents always help me. When I feel like being around people, I have a lot of people I can spend time with, and when I feel like spending time alone, I can be in my room to be alone.. Well, unless my brothers get in.


Remodeled efficiency with Stainless steel appliances and refinished floors located minutes from DC, Pentagon, and stores. All utilities included (cable and phone not included). Great amenities - pools, tennis, gym w/sauna, common laundry room on each floor, and on-site convenience store.
I am interested in 3100 Manchester Street UNIT 707, Falls Church, VA 22044.


my cousin & her husband sent me this gift from Christopher Elbow Artisanal Chocolate. it's got to be the most beautiful collection of bonbons I've ever seen. right after taking this picture I devourd one to see if they taste as good as they look. on the basis of the one I tried they surely do. it was an exquisite blend of strawberry caramel & balsamic vinegar.
plantd sunflower seeds where the Spanish broom had been.
I'm getting away for a few days.
Ray Craig surprisd me with the loveliest gift.
& suddenly gophers & a sad monk & Pennsylvania don't matter.
I've been fighting gophers since moving in. these voracious rodents eat bulb & root & tuber. every means to conquor them has been unsuccessful.
when I saw that it wasn't greening I inspectd & the entire bush was leaning over. there was a gopher hole next to its base. those fricking rodents ate the roots. I nearly wept digging it up.
it's startling to me that it's been 45 years since I was at a party in Manhattan with the artist.
her grandson has made a vibrant documentary abt Neel which is a must for anyone interestd in painting.
Neel's message is that artists must make what they feel they need to make & that they need to keep on doing it.
Oscar Mayer has 6 Wienermobiles. you've probably seen one in a parade. but to mark the company's 125th anniversary there is a wee addition to the fleet. there is now a Mini Wienermobile (built on top of a Mini Cooper).
the little guy was in my neighborhood with one of the big boys & of course I had to see them. I even got a free wiener whistle (don't go there Vera...).
a while ago I found some small tape cassettes from the late '80s thru the mid '90s. I had taped messages left on my answering machine. I gave them to neighbor Phil who transferd them to CDs which he brought over last nite.
all dead within a month.
& there were their voices.
& so many others who have died: James Broughton Joe Chaikin Duane Hartzell Bobby Lewis Bernique Longley Richard Martin Algesa O'Sickey Shannon Rodgers Ruth Warrick. even some meows from my beloved cats Toby & Melina.
it was overwhelming to listen to more than 2 hours of messages from the past.
not all were from the dead. there was Bea Arthur's deep voice. & John Ericson singing Rodgers & Hammerstein. & Edmund White calling from Paris. & Jean-Claude van Itallie singing "Happy Birthday." & Thrity Umrigar wanting to go out for coffee. & Madeline Gins asking abt libraries. & Richard Grossinger planning a visit.
those old tapes brought back so many memories of so many wonderful people. damn. I've been a lucky man.
on the PBS profile of Whitman last nite I was surprisd to hear of Thoreau's visit. somehow that meeting escapd my memory.
& in 1979 David Meredith & I visitd Whitman's grave. I remember a b&w photo of us there but have no copy. a few years ago I askd David to search for it but he was unable to locate it in his sprawling archives. I fear his death will mean the photo will never be unearthd.
last nite was Walt Whitman.
the current Vanity Fair includes a chunk of a new book abt one of my faves Doris Day. I suspect the dazzling Doris is no longer a big enuf draw to make the cover. so VF put on Madonna.
I know some will ask me to return my gay card but I never got Madonna. yes she has an amazing ability to get publicity. but I've never found her talentd or appealing in any kind of a way.
when I was taking Charlie Brill's photography class I shot this photo of my grandfather on Camden Ave in Lorain.
I gave a print to my father who kept it on the dresser next to his bed. it's among his effects which I shippd here & have begun to integrate with my things.
is there anything Hillary won't do to steal the nomination?
45 years ago this month I bought my first Jargon book from Jim Lowell when the Asphodel was still in The Arcade. it was R. Buckminster Fuller's Untitled Epic Poem on the History of Industrialization. the cover featurd a geodesic dome.
less than 2 years later Fuller came to Kent State. he spoke for 2 & a half hours & I was mesmerizd. when I returnd to South Willow I immediately began writing a long poem in response. my roommate Mike Chikiris took those pictures of me as I was composing. I no longer have the poem but I remember my professor Jake Leed telling me that while it mite be meaningful to me as a means of retrieving what Fuller sd it wasn't a good poem.
a little more than 2 years after that I walkd abt in the huge geodesic dome the United States built in Montreal as its pavillion for the worlds fair. it was one of those tingly moments that great structures can produce. somewhere I have the pin from there featuring the dome.
last nite the Lensic presentd "R. Buckminster Fuller: The History (and Mystery) of the Universe." Joe Spano playd the philsopher/architect who had been such an important part of the '60s for me. I hadn't rememberd the vaudevillian nature of Fuller but I did recognize some of the physical gestures the actor employs. & the script is as full of ideas as was my long-ago nite with the man himself.
at one point near the end Fuller refers to the Montreal dome as his Taj Mahal. that observation began to bring back the tingle.
Dustin Brookshire went live with the premiere issue of Limp Wrist. I'm delightd that it includes a little interview Montgomery Maxton did with me.
this picture of me with Jenny was taken a dozen years later.
& some months after here she is watching PeeWee Herman on Morris Rd.
all of this history came flooding back when Cynthia sent me the link to a film of Dr. Jennifer Pramuk being interviewd abt frogs for the Sundance Channel. I immediately wrote back to Cynthia that watching the video gave me an avuncular glow.
the tv to see what mite be of interest tonite. & there was "Hootenanny Hoot" just at the moment when one of my favorite singers was being introducd. Judy Henske -- slinky tall in white with that black hair -- rippd into "Wade in the Water." the director was dancer Gene Nelson so he threw in a gaggle of chorus boys who kept waving their hands. not sure if they were supposd to be water or what. but they were only a minor distraction. Henske blew them away.
as a child there were photo booths all over the place. & I have many wonderful pictures taken in them. so I was delightd 11 years ago to find one in the basement of the Warhol Museum in Pittsburg. here I am with 2 of my oldest & dearest buddies Billy & David.
Albuquerque Journal Leslie Linthicum has an article abt the quarter ceremony which ends with a quotation from me.
our guv & the director of the mint launchd the New Mexico quarter at the Roundhouse this morning. I got a roll for Mom who's been collecting the state series & a roll for myself to use in a future piece.
at the gym this ayem I was applying the Burt's Bees Hand Salve that David Meredith gave me to my feet when I suddenly sd to myself "is eggs art?"
grammar be damnd. it seemd a powerful intellectual moment in the life of a non-intellectual. was I concernd that my recent eggsperiment has attractd no following? blather. little of my 40 years of scribbles has seen notice. writing is what writers do. & I'll keep on doing it till they stick the morphine under my tongue.
I don't eat eggs often. & my social circle has shrunk. death does that. so I talk to myself. I try to have a good time. & a large part of that is writing. when things get bleak -- which is what aging seems to be abt -- it's all that gets me thru.
in 1989 PCR David Alfred Cavaretta & I pose for "The Magic Flute."

The Erie Catholic School System, in collaboration with the Diocese of Erie and in partnership with family and community, maximizes every child's academic and spiritual potential through engaging learning experiences and the Gospel values of Jesus Christ, in a welcoming and safe environment.
Based on the principles of the Catholic faith, Erie Catholic will be the school system of choice by instilling in our students a strong moral character, skills for academic success, and a zeal for service to others.
The Diocese of Erie launched the Erie Catholic School System in July 2017 as part of Building in Truth and Love, the comprehensive plan for diocesan schools. It includes six Preschool through Grade 8 Catholic schools in the City of Erie and Millcreek, all of which have provided excellent Catholic education to Erie families for decades.
Our Lady of Peace
Saint Jude (formerly Our Lady's Christian)
Erie Catholic schools are communities where educators and families nurture and shape children in the Catholic faith. Our students grow spiritually and intellectually amid a welcoming culture of respect, inclusiveness and shared values rooted in the teachings of Christ.
Across Erie Catholic's six campuses, educators implement consistent curriculum at or above state standards, with an emphasis on increased expectations and measurable outcomes. Our schools customize learning to suit individual student needs, using proven Instructional practices that are student-centered, inquiry-based and hands-on.
No longer operating as independent, parish-based schools but as a unified system, Erie Catholic provides consistent leadership, expertise, resources and accountability that strengthens all schools while enabling each to retain its unique community and traditions.


I'm a big believer in students studying abroad for a semester in college. My daughter Caitlin is one of the rare students who studied overseas for an entire school year.
If I'm remembering correctly, only 5% of college students who study overseas stay for a year.
Caitlin studied at the University of Barcelona. I think living in Barcelona was a much greater experience that attending the gigantic — and rather impersonal — university that's spread out over the beautiful city.
One of the benefits of living in Spain is that the rest of Europe is close by. Just for fun, I wanted to share a blog post that Caitlin wrote this week after she returned from a visit to the Czech Republic to see Walky, her high school/college friend. It's a very amusing post. You can check it out here: Brno & The Czech Republic.

Coca-Cola And Keep America Beautiful Celebrate America Recycles Day With Public Spaces Recycling Bin Grant Program
2018 Grant Program Opens Today; Grant Applications Accepted through Dec. 30
Keep America Beautiful
STAMFORD, Conn., Nov. 15, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- National nonprofit Keep America Beautiful and The Coca-Cola Foundation today – on America Recycles Day – announced the opening of the application period for the 2018 Keep America Beautiful/Coca-Cola Public Spaces Recycling Bin Grant Program. In its 12th year, the initiative is designed to increase access to recycling in community public spaces across America. Grant applications will be available online through Dec. 30 (11:59 p.m. EST), 2018. Applicants may visit BinGrant.org to apply.
For the past 11 years, The Coca-Cola Foundation has supported the program, which has donated recycling bins to more than 1,000 communities in all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Over the history of the program, more than 36,000 public space recycling bins have been awarded, providing opportunities for recycling on the go to more than 2 million people daily.
The 2018 program will distribute 4,500 recycling bins in public space locations ranging from athletic fields to fairs and festivals to downtown streetscapes and playgrounds and other on-the-go settings. The program is funded through a $350,000 grant from The Coca-Cola Foundation to Keep America Beautiful, which in turn awards recycling bins through a competitive, merit-based application process.
"Since its inception in 2007, the grant program has made impressive strides toward expanding recycling in public spaces," said Randy Hartmann, senior director of affiliate operations for Keep America Beautiful. "Through these grants, The Coca-Cola Foundation is reducing two of the primary barriers for on-the-go recycling – accessibility and convenience."
Eligible recipients for the 2018 Public Spaces Recycling Bin Grant Program include government agencies, colleges and universities, civic organizations, public and local nonprofit groups throughout the United States. Keep America Beautiful will award the grants in mid-January 2019 and make arrangements with suppliers to deliver recycling bins directly to the recipients in the first quarter of 2019.
"Community recycling is one of the key ways The Coca-Cola Foundation is helping communities address litter and support the environment. In partnership with Keep America Beautiful, we can help communities reduce litter by offering grants for recycling bins in parks, recreation areas, campuses and city streets," said Helen Smith Price, President of The Coca-Cola Foundation.
In addition to the Foundation's support, earlier this year, The Coca-Cola Company announced a global goal to collect and recycle the equivalent of 100 percent of the bottles and cans it places in the market by 2030. To accomplish this goal, Coca-Cola and its bottling partners, are working to make better bottles with more recycled and renewable content, collaborating with industry peers, community organizations and customers to help ensure that communities have access to curbside and public space recycling, and supporting waterway clean ups to ensure that its packaging does not end up where it does not belong.
About The Coca-Cola Foundation
The Coca-Cola Foundation is the global philanthropic arm of The Coca-Cola Company. Through more than 30 years of giving back, The Coca-Cola Foundation has granted $1 billion to help protect the environment, promote recycling, empower women and enhance the overall well-being of communities. For more information about The Coca-Cola Foundation, please visit www.coca-colagivingback.com.

Lincoln Witness Tree
Gettysburg's 'Witness Trees'
How Civil-War era honey locust survived, shows US history
Frank Bodani York Daily Record
GETTYSBURG — This ordinary tree, old and battered, is an astonishing survivor from another age.
Maybe no other has "seen" grander strokes of American history and then lived so long to memorialize them.
This commonplace honey locust in the Soldiers' National Cemetery was a young but strong anchor during the Battle of Gettysburg.
It also became a marker to arguably the nation's most famous speech.
And, even now, it defies logic to rally on.
It is arguably the most iconic tree from the turning point of the Civil War.
Its humble existence defies its place in history: It held a key vantage point during the second day of fighting on July 2, 1863; four months later, it stood close to Abraham Lincoln during his Gettysburg Address.
It is one of a dozen or so documented Civil War "witness trees" still alive in the national military park. But it is the lone survivor to Lincoln's s two-minute speech to dedicate the cemetery.
Though water-loving honey locusts usually do not live much more than 100 years, this one is approaching 170 on high ground in the cemetery.
Even more, it seemed doomed a decade ago after a wind storm sheared off much of its top. Park officials worried that what remained would prove unstable and pose a safety hazard to the thousands of tourists who walk nearby each year.
But they gave it a chance. The tree proved more resilient than expected and has been re-growing its canopy, a little at a time, ever since.
"It's real surprising. It defies everything," said Bruce Kile, a retired forester with the state department of conservation and natural resources.
No matter that it looks misplaced among the dozens of towering, in-tact specimens guarding these manicured grounds.
There is no plaque or marker denoting its place in history — a nod to protecting the solemnity of these trees.
"I think our national cemetery is the last piece of sacred ground in America," said John Heiser, an historian with the Gettysburg National Military Park.
"Battlefields, historic sites, we constantly change them, update them, sometimes manipulate them. (But) places where we bury our soldier dead make that ground something special.
"Maybe that's one reason this old boy decided to survive this long," he said, motioning to the tree.
In the early 1860s, what is now the national cemetery was but a cornfield bordered by pasture, scraggly brush and a small grove of unremarkable trees.
During the battle, a New Hampshire volunteer battery held the ground near the honey locust on the second day of fighting, Heiser said. Later that evening, Union Col. Samuel Carroll's brigade raced by the tree to drive back the Confederates from East Cemetery Hill.
Four months later, Lincoln took his place on a wood platform near the tree, which was maybe 10 to 15 years old at the time. Its leafless branches are captured in the background of the only photo of Lincoln from the day.
The cemetery grounds had just been roughly landscaped, which included clearing the corn field and grove of trees.
Only the honey locust remained, for reasons unknown.
"I like to say the witness trees are kind of like the monuments … When you touch that, you're touching something the veterans touched," Heiser said. "The tree is a real veteran of the battle."
John Heiser, an historian with the Gettysburg National Park Service, talks about the honey locust tree behind him that was a witness to the Gettysburg Address in the Gettysburg National Cemetery.

This photo shows a hatless Abraham Lincoln being greeted before giving the Gettysburg Address. The living witness to it all? The leafless branches of a honey locust tree stretching over the crowd... just to the right of a flagpole. The tree is still alive.

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth upon this continent, a new nation, conceived in liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battlefield of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.
But, in a larger sense, we can not dedicate - we can not consecrate - we can not hallow - this ground. The brave men, living and dead, who struggled here have consecrated it, far above our poor power to add or detract. The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here, but it can never forget what they did here. It is for us the living, rather, to be dedicated here to the unfinished work which they who fought here have thus far so nobly advanced. It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us - that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion - that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain - that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom - and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

Lincoln felt he had failed the people with his short address, and yet, those
269 words were spoken and all speeches that came thereafter
were measured against it.

Q: Show that $\|B\varphi\| \le C(\|A \varphi\| + \|\varphi\|)$ extends from a core to entire domain of $A$ Let $A$, $B$ be two densely defined operators on a Hilbert space $H$. Suppose the domains obey $D(B) \supseteq D(A)$, and suppose $A$ is a closed operator with $\mathcal{D} \subseteq D(A)$ a core for $A$ (i.e., $\overline{A\rvert_{\mathcal{D}}} = A$). Assume that for some $C > 0$,
$$\|B \varphi \| \le C\|A\varphi \| + C\|\varphi\|, \qquad \text{all $\varphi \in \mathcal{D}$} \tag{1} \label{est on core}.$$

I would like to show that the estimate \eqref{est on core} holds more generally for any $\varphi \in D(A)$ (not just for $\varphi \in \mathcal{D}$).

I can prove this result under the additional assumption that $B$ is a symmetric operator. However, according to page 162 of Reed and Simon vol. 2 (which leads into the proof of the Kato-Rellich Theorem), the result holds without this assumption.
For arbitrary $\varphi \in D(A)$, using that $\overline{A\rvert_{\mathcal{D}}} = A$, we get a sequence $\psi_j \in \mathcal{D}$ so that
$$\psi_j \to \varphi, \, A \psi_j \to A \varphi.$$
We have
$$\|B\varphi\| = \sup_{\eta \in D(A) : \|\eta\|= 1} |\langle B \varphi, \eta \rangle| =  \sup_{\eta \in D(A) : \|\eta\|= 1} |\langle \varphi, B\eta \rangle|,  $$
by symmetricity of $B$. But for each $\eta \in D(A)$ with $\|\eta\| = 1$, using symmetricity again.
$$ |\langle \varphi, B\eta \rangle| = \lim_{j \to \infty} |\langle \psi_j, B\eta \rangle| =  \lim_{j \to \infty} |\langle B \psi_j, \eta \rangle| \le \lim_{j \to \infty} C\|A\psi_j| + C\|\psi_j\| = C\|A\varphi| + C\|\varphi\|. $$
Is there a way to reach the same conclusion without assuming $B$ is symmetric? Hints or solutions are greatly appreciated.

A: The symmetricity of $B$ is not needed. Since $A$ is assumed to be self-adjoint, it is a closed operator, hence complete with respect the to "graph" norm
$$ \|\varphi_1\|_1 = a \| A \varphi \| + b\| \varphi \|.$$
So, by the BLT theorem, the estimate will hold for all of $D(A)$ if it holds on a core for $A$.

Crammed into the W. Kamau Bell Show
Thursday, June 20 2013
This morning when I was going down to the brownhouse for the first of what would ultimately be only two visits, I managed to startle the "friendly" deer who has been hanging around lately. He'd been beneath the kayaks under the east deck, probably browsing shrubbery. After he startled, he only bounded about 30 feet eastward and then stood there looking at me curiously as I waved at him. I've decided to call him Richard. Richard the Deer. Based on his garden habits, he's something of a dick.
Today Gretchen and I would be attending the taping of Totally Biased , the FX comedy show hosted by W. Kamau Bell, an up-and-coming comedian who is part Chris Rock, part Jon Stewart, with perhaps a dash of Neil deGrasse Tyson. We first learned of WKB when he was interviewed by Terry Gross on Fresh Air a bit less than a year ago, and we've been watching his show, which is often as good as The Colbert Report . So we drove down to New Paltz and caught an Adirondack Trailways bus at the park & ride. Unfortunately, the bus was nearly full and we had to sit with strangers. The bus also had the unpleasant fragrance of whatever had been used to clean its bathroom, and this caused me to mostly breathe through my mouth. By the end of the 90 minute ride, I felt like I was coming down with a cold.
There was big hulk of a man sitting across the aisle from me, and as we entered the Lincoln Tunnel, he started having something of an obsessive-compulsive freakout. He clapped his hands and did other things, muttering "okay!" as if he was about to be launched into orbit. He concluded all this by crossing himself. Unfortunately, the Lincoln Tunnel was running slowly today, and we spent a bit more time below sea level than any of us would have preferred. As we crawled through the streets of Manhattan on our way to Port Authority, he stood in the aisle in the way that passengers are specifically instructed not to do. Gretchen was trying to talk to me about something, and I kept shooting glances at the back of the guy's head some four feet above me, and this instinctively made Gretchen look as well (though from where she was sitting she had to look at his face). She caught his eyes on one of these occasions and immediately apologized.
From Port Authority, we caught a subway Uptown to the American Museum of Natural History stop (which, on the northbound platform, features numerous beautiful mosaics of creatures living and extinct). Our destination here was not the museum but one of the vegan Blossum restaurants, for which Gretchen thought she had a gift card (though it turned out that the gift card was for a different Blossum). We sat out in front, drank coffee, ate two platters of mushroom ravioli, and then had separate entrees featuring delicious seitan (mine was a sandwich that came with overly-fancy fries).
The streets of the Upper West Side testified to an urban Caucasian fecundity otherwise hard to observe in New York City. Judging by the many spherical bellies pushing out sundresses, one might conclude that a minor baby boom is underway. Of course, once those bellies have flattened and their contents joined the company of the air-breathing multitude, one normally only sees the larval Caucasians in the company of black women, all of whom I assumed to be nannies from Jamaica.
After lunch, we took a subway back downtown to 34th Street and then walked east to the NYU Clinical Cancer Unit. Our friend Sarah the Korean (who has never been Korean) was there getting chemotherapy as a precaution against some very early-stage breast cancer that has already been surgically removed. The chemotherapy has made Sarah crave thick gravies and mushy starches, so Gretchen had prepared her Isa's famous punk rock chick pea gravy with mashed potatoes. When we arrived, Sarah was hooked up to an IV tube receiving a saline solution, but she was about to get really sleepy in the Lazy Boy reclining chair she'd been provided. For some reason we talked about my greenhouse project but for I got around to asking her what chemotherapy was like. She said that it made her mouth taste like an ashtray and that, though it's gotten gradually better, the first time it felt like a really bad hangover coupled with the flu. Sarah looked surprisingly good given the shit she is going through. Having lost most of her hair, she covers her head with a hankerchief.
We only had about 20 minutes to spend with Sarah before hurrying west down 34th Street to the place where WKB would be shooting his show. Since there aren't good subways on the east side of Manhattan north of the East Village, we caught a bus. But there's a new procedure on buses whereby the driver doesn't actually interact with the riders. The riders are on the honor system to have purchased a ticket, but since there is no honor among bus riders, this is enforced by transit police who interrogate riders at random to see if they have their ticket. This reminds me of the way trolleys worked in San Diego (and yes, I got busted once for riding the trolley without having a ticket).
Totally Biased is recorded way up on the sixth floor of a building on 34th Street between 8th and 9th Avenues. The studio actually looks like an old theatre from the 20s, complete with a lavishly-decorated ceiling (though it's hard to see it through the grid of steel trusses holding overhead lights). A surprsingly large group of people had been given tickets to today's studio audience, and it took awhile to wind our way up into the recording studio. Since Gretchen and I had run a little late, we were among the last people to be seated. But instead of turning us away (which Jon Stewart's people had once done), some extra chairs were found and we were seated by the frazzled-but-kind audience wranglers in an alcove with a surprisingly non-terrible view of the proceedings. Freakishly, we were seated behind someone Gretchen had met only last weekend, someone her friend Marissa had babysat as a kid back in Indiana.
The show was recorded in four segments ( Colbert is in three) and it followed the familiar pattern of news, skit, interview, and then final crazy combo crescendoing with a performance of "the Star Spangled Banner" in Spanish (mocking a recent right wing freakout about a Hispanic American boy who sang the song in English). WKB likes the classic comedy technique where things get really crazy and absurd as we cut to break. For example, in a segment today there were a couple policemen puppets beating an African American puppet while WKB recorded it on his iPhone.
Between segments, a warm-up comedian (a fat white guy with an absurd only-in-comedy sort of voice) did standup routines to keep us laughing. The big interview was with Charlie Price of the musical adaptation of Kinky Boots . The interview went on beyond the televised segment, something I've heard about but not actually seen happen in the studio. (Gretchen and I have been in the audience for both Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert.) WKB is still sort of new to doing the show and occasionally seems a little uncomfortable (the way I remember Stephen Colbert being early in his show). So I shouldn't have been surprised that on a couple occasions at the beginning of a segment, WKB flubbed his lines, made the lip noise one makes when acknowledging that fact, and did the take a second time.
When the show was over, WKB recorded some promos for his future show on FXX, and then called his wife, his little daughter, and father out on stage. And then he seemed to get choked up by how awesome everything was.
After the show, the audience was drained down six stories of staircase and out onto 34th Street. From there, Gretchen and I walked north on 9th Avenue looking for a place to get a cocktail. (Restaurants in New York tend to be better the further one goes from touristy areas, so we were trying to stay west of all the Times Square craptasticality.) We ended up at a place called Market Café, whose tables closest to the avenue were in alcoves that had been made completely open to that avenue, giving us the benefits of outdoor dining without quite as much solicitation from bums and girls selling cookies. It happened to be happy hour, so our $10 drinks were only $5. I ended up having two delicious margaritas and Gretchen had some boozy bourbon girlie drink. We also ordered a surprisingly good hummus plate, though the menu was otherwise unwelcoming to vegans. There's a bike lane on 9th Avenue, and a good fraction of the bikes were those new Citibike rental bikes. For just $95/year, one can borrow one of these bikes as much as one wants to. And because the bikes are pre-positioned everywhere, they are far more useful than a privately-owned bicycle. (It's one of the few examples of a transportation system that benefits from human network effects.) We were also reminded of a segment we'd seen on the Colbert Report where a crazy right wing nutcase had railed against this bike rental system because, she insisted, bicyclists are "the most important danger in the city" and there are neighborhoods that are "absolutely begrimed" by bicycles. It seems any transportation technique that doesn't burn fossil fuels is a posthumous gift to Adolf Hitler.
We showed up at Port Authority just as our bus was loading its final passengers, and we ended up in a seat near the back. This bus didn't smell as a bad as the one this morning, but it nonetheless felt as if we had entered a dog's mouth. I thought once we got rolling the air conditioner would fire up and all would be well, but evidently the problem was worse than all that, and we had to relocate to another bus.
Once we got to the New Paltz park & ride, I drove Gretchen to Lagusta's bakery (in New Paltz), where she would be participating in this month's special vegan meal. She'd had an extra ticket, but I'm not into super-foodie experiences, so she'd had to find someone else to attend it with her (in addition to Sarah the Vegan, who had also signed up for this meal and who would be Gretchen's transportation back to Hurley).
In the end, the New Paltz vegan cookie guy whom Gretchen had promised the meal ticket to was a no-show, so Gretchen brought me home a tub of incredibly delicious Lagusta food. Just eating it and not talking about it was perfectly okay with me. But I should mention that Lagusta's theme this month was "foraging," and so the food included various items that can be found in local forests and fields. My favorite item was a wild oyster mushroom that had been breaded and fried. It was one of the most delicious things I've eaten in awhile, and I've eaten some damn delicious things.

Grady Nichols picked up his first saxophone in the sixth grade and fell in love with the instrument. He was raised in Siloam Springs, Arkansas, and studied under legendary saxophonist Joe Davis in his high school years. He moved to Tulsa after graduating from John Brown University and became recognized on the scene for his mix of jazz and gospel hues.
Grady released his debut album in 1996, entitled "Between You and Me", which was mainly a live recording. He released "Mysterious Intentions" the following year. He has shared the stage with everyone from the O'Jays and Bill Champlin to Herb Alpert and Huey Lewis & The News.
Among Grady Nichol's various appearances include the gospel television show "Hour of Power", annual charity concerts, and the World Pulse Festival in Indiana. When not performing on land, he frequently performs on cruise ships.
Catch Grady Nichols and his band at the annual Lupus Foundation of Arkansas, Inc. fundraiser on August 25.
