Serial Killer Phone Call ////// 544
Captain Fathands · Howard Stern Theme
Edwina BC Canada
I'd love to hear John Douglas' opinion on this call. I think it is real. It sounds legit to me.
Mike Philly
I was wondering if there was a chance he accidentally gave his real name when he spoke to the call screener instinctively, and then when he was put on hold realized what he had done and tried to play it off as a mistake and then called himself Clay. Another thing that may strengthen the chances of this being legit is the year in which he made the call. True crime has always been popular, particularly in books, but it wasn't until the past 10-15 years where it really skyrocketed in popularity among the mainstream with Netflix, documentaries, and podcasts. It seems less likely back in 1997 than today someone would be motivated to make up being a serial killer just as a gag, and would be equipped with the knowledge to do it back then to make it sound legit. Not impossible, but far less likely than it would be today when you're inundated with true crime at every corner of media and social media.

Guys- when Howard says "you are from the New Orleans area", Clay says "yea". Then Howard talks over Clay…..does Clay say "Kenner"? Kenner is a city just West of New Orleans. It's difficult to make out because of the talk over but it might go this way…."you are from the New Orleans area? Yea…Kenner. Maybe the Capt. can clean the audio up a bit.

"Kill all the golfers" - I thought you were finally going to try some b.nektar meadery!

Just a couple thoughts: at the beginning of the call when Howard said Ed, I heard phone call guy say "This is Ned". I thought Howard just misheard; he got Ed from somewhere. I went back and replayed it a few times and I can hear both "This is Ned" and "This isn't Ed". Then he didn't say "I'm Clay" or "My name is Clay", he said "You can call me Clay". And secondly, re How hard Howard was listening, if he laser-focused on the guy and fired questions at him, the guy might get spooked. Perhaps his seemingly half-assed listening was a technique Howard used to disarm the guy and keep him talking? Anywho, great show, guys!

This was a hoax. But the phone call was entertaining. An entertaining fake phone call.
@ All - I like your take aways here. Kenner, This is Ned, You can call me Clay - this is all good stuff. Keep them coming and Gail I'll be on the look out for some B.Nekter Meadery. And for those of you that are a little to young - I actually am myself but no ill will toward Golfers - Kill all the golfers was a Bill Murray line from Caddy Shack. Cheers, Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Nic

He mentions that he left a body in Mississippi. That's a big detail I wished you guys touched on. I wonder if there are any unsolved homicides in West Mississippi where blunt force trauma was the cod.

Yeah, I don't know about this. Howard is asking very leading questions and "Clay" seems to just play into the details that Howard is offering, peppering in some random things. I think there is a possibility its real, but it feels fake to me. Also, the way Howard Stern refers/talks about the sex workers, is gross. Blech. I hate that guy.

I can't believe I have to explain this, but the sex worker who "had a penis" was likely NOT a "cross dresser" but a trans woman. Please have some respect.

I was born and raised in New Orleans (And surrounding area). If "Clay" is from NOLA or even the surrounding area, he would have that distinct accent that we call "YAT"...it's an odd accent that anyone from this area has and if we heard it we would be able to pick up on it quickly. He didn't sound like a Yat to me. From some research I did on this case, Clay (Russell Ellwood) is supposed to be from the Massillon, Ohio area. It is quite possible that he was a transplant to the NOLA area. Even someone from Kenner (city that is in the surrounding area of NO) he would still have that Yat accent. And, he does say there are a lot of "out of the way" places that he can "dump" a body. If that were true, then I would like to think he may have dumped some of those bodies in the New Orleans East area. It is quite marshy and there are some desolate places in that area.

Hey Guys. I lean more toward this call being real. I hear things in his voice that are hallmarks of psychopaths. I hear a lot of boredom when discussing his crimes as well as a nonchalant attitude toward his motivation for the crimes. Boredom is a characteristic of many psychopaths which is why they engage in very impulsive and risky behaviors. I also hear an air of superiority in his voice, especially when people get the details wrong about something he said. He also seems irritated to be talking to everyone until he realizes Howard is on the phone. He believes his phone call is worth the big guy's attention, not the co-hosts. And when he realizes it's Howard, I don't hear nervousness in his voice. I hear excitement. He gets short of breath and has an extremely brief moment where you can tell he needs to compose himself again. Excitement and nervousness sound the same, they just look different. Another key piece that I didn't hear mentioned was that he referred to the male sex worker as "it" before correcting himself to say "he." He doesn't relate to his victims as a fellow human because he lacks the emotions that make us human. He is playing a role of humanity, and he missed his cue there for one moment by saying "it". One thing I thought would help narrow the time frame a bit is that when he mentioned painting with thumbs as something he wanted as an M.O., he said "there was a comic book a couple years back". If he meant a couple years literally, we just found a benchmark. He seemed to mention this in connection with how he initially wanted his crimes to go, so I would say it roughly coincided with the beginning of his crimes. Which brings up another interesting point, that if he began at 16, I would say he is probably fairly young. I would put him in the 22-25 age range. He actually sounded a lot like Israel Keyes to me. Those were the vibes I was getting. The fact that he said that "she was one of the ones they found," and "I actually went to Mississippi for that one," adds credence to the veracity of his story. When asked if he had kids, he said yeah I have a couple, with no pride in his voice, only like you might say you own a couple of pairs of shoes. Because even his kids are possessions. Which is also why he said something about not marrying or staying with "their mothers," all possessive language because that is how he relates to people around him-as things to be possessed and or used as a means to an end. This is another hallmark of a psychopath. I think the fact that he called was once again a sign of boredom. He was trying to up the ante in whatever game he is playing that he cant figure out. His weapon of choice being a hammer is very interesting. It's reasonable to assume he had the weapon in his vehicle most of the time. This could suggest that he has no one close enough to him to ride in his car and see an out of place item such as a hammer, or, it wouldn't be out of place, because he drives some sort of service vehicle that would naturally have a hammer in it. Couple this with his break in crimes being due to his car being broken down, and I think people like cable men, utility workers, handy men, etc. should be explored. We also know he has at least one friend who jokes around with him since he mentioned that friend joking with him after seeing a newspaper article about one of the crimes. Interestingly enough, this also suggests he knows the friend would never listen to that radio show. Anyways, I could go on, but I'm sure I've already lost half of the readers by now anyway 😊 This episode was very interesting. Great job guys!

For voluntary confessions, start with the assumption the confession is false, then look for reasons to believe it's true (uncommon knowledge, etc.) For confessions wrought through interrogation, assume the confession is true and seek reasons to believe it is false (extensive research exists on this: presence of coercion, duration, perceived / actual promises of leniency, presence of factors positively correlated with impressionability like mental illness, etc.) In either case, if you can't move yourself off that initial mark, you more than likely have the right answer. Clay's "confession" is voluntary. So, starting from the assumption it's false, I didn't see much reason to move off that. First and foremost, he didn't identify a verifiable crime – date, location, victim name, etc. In the research (I forget which one) the very first thing used to discredit a voluntary false confession is the existence of the crime – very often, there is no crime. Absent an ability to connect the few details Clay provided to a real crime, there's not much else we can do here. I guess one reason to believe Clay is that he seemed readily able to describe the physical aspects of the crimes. But, that fell through as soon as Howard asked a more probing question. Howard asked whether / how Clay would tell the intended victim he was about to kill them. Clay stumbled and ultimately said, far less confidently than the rest of the interview, "I could say, 'You're going to die.'" When pressed for details he hadn't rehearsed, he'd retreat to the conditional, as in "It depended on my mood." Questions about things and places were easy for Clay – if I'm right, his mental rehearsing had extended to encompass the when, where, who, how, and to some small extent the why. But, he hadn't explored certain key details, like the interpersonal relations between the killer and victim, and that ultimately dissuades me from believing this is a delusion or even a fantasy he's considered extensively. I think he was telling a story, and I think he did this because he seeks the attention and probably respect / acceptance of Howard Stern. ____________________ Kassin & Wrightsman (1985) identified three distinct types of false confession: voluntary, coerced-compliant, and coerced-internalized. The latter two are distinguished by whether, after interrogation, the person actually believes they did it. Though Ofshe and Leo later (1997) extended it to five categories, voluntary remains its own category. Leo (2009) summarizes the research on voluntary false confessions: [I]ndividuals volunteer false confessions in the absence of police questioning for a variety of reasons: a desire for notoriety or fame, the need to expiate guilt over imagined or real acts, an inability to distinguish between fantasy and reality, or a pathological need for acceptance or self-punishment. But voluntary false confessions need not be rooted in psychological maladies. A person may, for example, provide a voluntary false confession out of a desire to aid and protect the real criminal, to provide an alibi for a different crime or norm violation, or to get revenge on another person. He added this, "Detectives tend to be far more skeptical and less accepting of voluntary false confessions than of police-induced false confessions." Were fame Clay's motivation, I think he'd name himself or associate himself, his voice with a famous crime to glean that sense of fame or notoriety. He didn't. Rather, I think pathological need for acceptance most closely fits Clay's bill. I've only heard a few episodes, but it seems a lot of the callers worship Howard. It wouldn't surprise me if Clay had tried to get on the show before but with a more fantastical story perhaps referencing a popular crime. As I re-listened to the call I noticed he wanted to feed the drama, to keep the call going (e.g., he paid them anyway, he put the money in compromising places, "it had a penis," I could say "bababooie," and so on). Also, the part where he realizes he's talking to Howard is instructive—it's the point where he's gotten what he wants, and it's like he almost can't believe it worked.

As far as the Captain wondering if this guy isn't really a Howard listener because he doesn't recognize Howard's voice, I saw someone commenting elsewhere online that they interviewed Howard Stern once over the phone, and they said his voice sounds very different over the phone that it does on the radio. They said that over the phone, his voice has more of a ready, Woody Allen type sound. They said something about it having to do with the quality of the microphone used to pick up Howard's voice in the studio, as well as the positioning of the microphone and whatever audio equipment they are using, versus the quality of audio picked up by a phone receiver. I don't know anything about audio though, the Captain could probably explain that a lot better than I could.

Who the F is "Howard" Nowhere
Without exception, absolutely your worst episode ever. Most people do not know or care who this Stern person is. Second, you do not discuss the call at all. You do not discuss any attempts to find out who this guy might be. You don't talk about any related investigations. Just all of this Howard adulation, even though all I could find out about him on the Internet is he does a lot of obscene and deeply stupid things. Who cares? Your podcast is not advertised as being adulation for niche radio jerks. Thanks so much for wasting my time. If you had addressed the guy by his first name one more time I swear to God I would have thrown up. I gave up after fast forwarding several times to see if you ever actually talked about an investigation of any kind. Never happened. Just Howard Howard Howard Howard Howard...

I highly doubt a real serial killer would call like that, it is too big a risk. He is on air, recorded, someone might recognize him, the conversation is really long. And with all the new technologies, couldn't the voice be identified if it was a killer that was caught since?The only thing that make me doubt is when he says he kills because he is bored. It is so mundane it sounds genuine... Anyway, happy holidays, stay safe!

Reminds me of "Richie" from the Apology Line. Richie sounded believable too but was ultimately a fake.
Nic raises a good point about how long a real killer would stay on the line. Not nearly that long. Howard and crew never mentioning the call again makes it look to me like one of their fakes that they decided went too far and could be dangerous to them. This would also explain the inconsistent vibes I got. Didn't seem like either a real killer or like someone who fantasized about being a killer. . .because as the mindhunter guys point out, fantasies go perfectly. It does seem consistent with a shock jock groupie trying to be outrageous.

Look on YouTube. The Howard Stern Show addressed this call the next morning. They said the FBI did show up and were looking into it.
john Michigan
I would also love to hear what the "Mind Hunter" has to say about this one.
Kelly Michigan
The minute he realized it was Howard and his breathing changed, I don't think he was (just) nervous. He realized he was talking to Howard and getting his own few minutes of fame and that led to him being excited and pleasuring himself. Sorry, but that's what it sounds like to me.

I'm getting Israel Keyes vibes
Andrew J Sydney
@Rachel, there was a child serial killer in the Spawn comic book series who would cut off his victims' fingers to make paintings. The relevant issue, Issue 5, was released in October 1992.
Maddy Colorado
I agree with the comment above, about the caller stumbling to answer questions relating to his victims reactions as being a red flag. From confessions I have heard, they really don't skimp on describing those kinds of details and they have a very vivid memory of the terror and pleading or fight for life. Mostly so they can use them later to relive the experience, especially reliving the power and control they wield over their victim. This guy totally lacked the pride or absolute dominance he had in the final moments of his supposed victims lives, leading me to believe this was more fantasy than reality. Low resolution fantasy and not a horror into dark human psychology.
@ Andrew - thank you for that. I knew somewhere in the back of my mind I had seen that before. Spawn was a suspicion of mine but couldn't place it. Cheers Nic
Jenny Toronto
I feel like his manner of speech and voice sounded a lot like Israel Keyes.
Jenni Kentucky
I thought this was a great episode - a nice escape from the norm. I had never heard of this call, but to me it was very interesting. Thanks guys!
JPM Milwaukee
I honestly think this was a BIT gone wrong. They probably got a call from law enforcement telling them that it was not funny and to not talk about that kind of stuff again in a joking way.

I feel like he didn't want to admit that he used drugs or got high when he killed because he didn't want people to think that the "drugs" did it, he wants everyone to know that he's the mastermind-no drugs needed.
@Andrew You are amazing. Thank you for that info. :)

Some Observation: The Caller contradicts himself: 1st, when asked "... and you wondering why you do it?" He says; "I have a pretty good idea." Then after given a short list of possible motives by both HS & Robin he states; "Naw, actually nothing like that..." ["What is it then? then" RQ] "I think I just do it for a sense of power." LATER After Howard asks (2nd time) "You must be very powerful." He responds; "Ah, I wouldn't call myself 'powerful' maybe intimidating." The 1st time HS says "You must be a powerful guy" he replies; "I wasn't then." (at 16 yrs old). He contradicts that first statement of the 'why' later saying; "I'm just bored" & "Um... I don't even understand why I do it, Howard. I don't know if I get any satisfaction." I don't see him naming his victim count quickly as any indication of being legit or true. In fact, he uses a verbal delay crutch "Uhhh" "Ummm" often... I lean toward this being semi scripted, at least on his part and the victim count would be a obvious bullet point. I detected what I believe to be voice drops a few times... i.e. it sounds like Howard and maybe Robin were edited in after the fact.This is a technique used by other radio hosts for interviews...Michael Savage comes to mind. He has no discernible Louisiana or Southern accent. There was one point when he used the word; "time" I thought I could hear a trace of Northern Midwest/Canadian, very slight. I don't have time to pinpoint it as to the timestamp right now but I heard it. Perhaps military transplant? I thought the bit about saying "Baba Booey" along with Howard's; "Be serious" rang as odd, scripted and forced... even if this guy is a killer. He mentions not killing himself because he'd miss the next "Batman movie"... "Batman and ROBIN" was released apprx. 5 months before this 'call'. The next Batman movie... not counting animated TV and video was in 2005. My impression is that this is fake and HS & Co. are the producers of it.

I have been listening to you guys for years now and you guys have me even more interested in true crime. I was wondering if you could do a more in-depth episode on missing teenager madison scott there is limited information out there that i can find but with u guys being pros at this you maybe able to find out more than i can myself (not really to sure on my skills with info gathering ) I find her case really fascinating and intriguing it really is a bit of a mystery how she seem to completely disappeared the way she did. I just feel like her case hasn't had the same media push or attention like other missing people have had.

Think about the mindset of a serial killer. A person who is successful in life is not likely to become a serial killer. I realize there are exceptions to the rule, but this seems to be a good rule of thumb. Thus, the highest level of achievement for a serial killer is his killings--especially when he remains unidentified over several killings. What do people like to brag about--their accomplishments. Well, a serial killer can't brag to his friends. The urge to boast has to be relieved somewhere. Howard Stern's show is the perfect outlet. No one will believe it is genuine because of the content of the show.  I don't think Howard faked the call.  Having seen all the reaction the call provoked, it seems that Howard would've cleared it up by now if it were some scripted event. Furthermore, his ignoring of the call after the next show (the one mentioning the FBI) is further proof that it was genuine, or at least not a bit for the radio program. There are several interesting pieces of content in the call. First, Clay seems disinterested when discussing the victims; he seens to enjoy talking about his actions, though. Second, one would be foolish to give entirely accurate details. Thus, 12 murders instead of 24 (half of the actual total). Hammer instead of strangulation. As an aside: really? A hammer? It seems implausible to think that a hammer would be convenient for murders in a vehicle. You certainly can't swing it very hard without hitting the roof of the car or smashing glass. This just seems contrived. I have dealt with a dozen or so minor serial killers through my work. But, criminals are all basically the same. They say crazy things for crazy reasons. The call sounds plausible to me.

Guys, I think it was mentioned that Howard noticed the area code of the call and that was how he knew he was from New Orleans. If that is true, wouldn't he have the whole number in caller ID, not just the area code. Who is the number registered to????


WAILUKU, Hawaii (AP) - The National Transportation Safety Board says the pilot of a plane that made an emergency landing in Waiehu reported the engine lost power.
Four people on the plane were uninjured when the Piper Cherokee landed near Waiehu Beach last month.
The Maui News reports NTSB's preliminary report says the pilot told an investigator the plane was cruising at about 1,500 feet above sea level when he noticed a slight hesitation in the engine. The report says the engine lost power, forcing the pilot to land in an open area, hitting bushes and trees.
During an attempt to hoist it up, the plane spun wildly so a helicopter crew cut it loose over the water. The helicopter company was later able to lift the plane from the ocean.


I had forgotten just how many balls were in the air when The Good Doctor went on hiatus, and it's to the show's credit that it maintains some sort of control over this episode. The hero of the hour, though, is unequivocally Dr Reznick, who a season ago I described as "pushy, ambitious, and generally appalling". (Would I have used similar language for a male doctor? Yes I would, had they behaved like Reznick.) The ambition is still there, as is the laser-like focus, but she's infinitely more of a team player, as she immediately proves by bringing Shaun out of his meltdown by getting him to concentrate on Santa Pete, the patient she's treating. And by bringing a DNR patient, Bob, back to life so that his bone marrow can be harvested. "We just saved his life and violated his rights!" says Morgan to Melendez, in one of the most medical drama-y medical drama lines ever.
What I really care about, though, is Dr Lim, who has collapsed after exposure to The Virus. Never fear, though, because Reznick has a way of saving her as well, while – in her spare time – working out how The Virus is transmitted. Quite an hour for Reznick. The revived Shaun, meantime, carries out his first Caesarian section, supervised through a glass screen by someone who actually knows what she's doing. (Not Reznick, for once.) And Glassman has to come to terms with the fact that his tumour has returned. Will he tell Shaun? Nope, he concludes. Leah criticises him for his attitude to Shaun and Glassman, not entirely unreasonably, returns fire by pointing to the whole kissing-him-then-moving-away-and-moving-back thing. He is, snaps Glassman, "not some hamster you get to play with". Fair play to Leah, though, who isn't for backing down: "I'm gonna let this slide", she retorts. "Because you're dying".
Glassman actually has meningitis, not a tumour, so he might live, and Shaun even accepts a hug from him. Lim lives. The woman giving birth lives, as does her baby. Park's son Kellan lives. The recipient of the bone marrow lives. Santa Pete lives. In fact, the only person who doesn't make it is Bob the bone marrow donor, and as he had a DNR anyway I suppose that means he can't complain about Reznick. A remarkably busy episode; not The Good Doctor at its best, but hardly a dull moment.

So- Person of the Week goes to: Addie!
So, why is she person of the week? For agreeing to spend eternity with my brother? Nope. Because that doesn't have much to do with me. And I'm REALLY working on being narcissistic. Her blog was the #1 referring site to my blog this week. So I'm making her a prize! Something delightful. So delightful it will hurt a little.
I'll post pictures when I'm done.
Yay for winning! Best day ever. ha now I understand the shock factor you spoke of on my blog. I didn't even know I had enough people reading mine to send to yours, but glad it worked out for the both of us.

Florida Police Unions Call For Members To Return Miami Dolphins Tickets
| by Donn Marten
NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell must feel like he is living in the Bill Murray movie "Groundhog Day" because this year is already a repeat of the one before it.
It took all of one day of the new NFL season before the war on cops once again manifested itself on the league's sidelines. Three Miami Dolphins players led by Kaepernick disciple Kenny Stills defied the Goodell's new rule that on-field protests during the national anthem were no longer acceptable.
So much for that rule.
Egged on by the jobless Kaepernick, Stills not only took the knee but then ordered the league to fess up that it was blackballing the "race messiah" and his sidekick Eric Reid.
My brother @kstills continued his protest of systemic oppression tonight by taking a knee. Albert Wilson @iThinkIsee12 joined him in protest. Stay strong brothers!✊🏾

— Colin Kaepernick (@Kaepernick7) August 10, 2018
Stills was hailed by none other than Kaepernick himself for taking a knee against "systemic oppression" which is a real head-scratcher considering that the wide receiver is playing under a four-year $32 million deal which would seem to be proof that an unskilled person of color can carve out a nice slice of pie in America regardless of where they started out.
But even while the thumbing of noses at Goodell and Trump served as an inspirational show of defiance by the SJW mob and it's jock sniffing cheerleaders in the media, it sure didn't sit well with some law enforcement professionals who have been demonized by the political left and dumped on by the kneelers.
The police unions in the South Florida counties that comprise the largest chunk of the Dolphins' geographic fan base are calling Stills and other players protests out as disrespectful and a "slap in the face" and urging officers and other members to return their tickets and boycott the NFL's Miami franchise.
Police unions urges police to return their Miami Dolphins tickets after anthem protest @PBC_PBA @goBCPBA https://t.co/u4SoXpd6Mk
— National Police Association (@NatPoliceAssoc) August 11, 2018
Via The Miami Herald, "Union urges police to return their Miami Dolphins tickets after anthem protest":
The Broward County Police Benevolent Association is calling on its union members — as well as all South Florida police officers— to boycott the Miami Dolphins and the National Football League.
The move comes after the Dolphins faced the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in a preseason game Thursday night at Hard Rock Stadium in Miami Gardens. Dolphins receivers Albert Wilson and Kenny Stills protested the national anthem by kneeling. Defensive end Robert Quinn did not kneel, but he raised his right arm with a clenched fist.
The players are part of a growing number of athletes who have used that moment to protest police brutality and racial inequality, something Broward PBA Vice President Rod Skirvin called "disrespectful and disgusting."
"It's a slap in the face," Skirvin told the Miami Herald on Saturday. "We have a lot of police officers in the county who are ex-military. It's not just a slap in the face to our military — past and present— but to all law enforcement officers across the country. As long as the protest continues, we will protest our attendance at the Dolphins games and continue to stay away from the NFL and its products."
The Miami Dolphins did not immediately return a request for comment.
A few weeks ago, the NFL invited South Florida police unions to a game in November slated to honor first responders. According to Skirvin, the Broward PBA accepted the invitation because the NFL had announced in May that protesting during the anthem would be against policy.
However, the NFL changed course last month and said players wouldn't be penalized, putting their new policy on hold.
After Thursday's game, the police union posted this statement on Facebook:
"We entered into this partnership with the understanding that the Dolphins organization would require their players to stand for the national anthem. This did not happen at [Thursday's] preseason game against Tampa Bay. As a result, the BCPBA will no longer participate in this ticket program, and we are asking all of our members, as well as members of the Dade County PBA and Palm Beach County PBA, not to participate either. If you have already purchased tickets to this game, we encourage you to call the Dolphins ticket office to request a refund because this organization obviously does not honor first responders and the dangers they put themselves in every day."
It looks like there are going to be a lot more empty seats in Hard Rock Stadium again this season.

Thomas College student killed in Richmond crash
By Christopher WilliamsSun Journal
RICHMOND — State police said a Waterville driver was killed Sunday night when his pickup truck crashed along Interstate 295.
Maine State Police troopers said their investigation shows Antonio Martinez, 22, likely was texting at the time of the crash. He was a student at Thomas College in Waterville.
Troopers said Martinez lost control of the truck in the northbound lane of the highway, between the Richmond and Gardiner exits at about 9:30 p.m., according to a news release by Maine Department of Public Safety spokesman Stephen McCausland.
Martinez' truck overturned several times before coming to rest off the breakdown lane, McCausland said.
A passerby discovered the crash about 4:30 a.m. Monday.
Martinez had not been wearing a seat belt and was thrown through the windshield of the truck as it overturned. He died at the scene.
Troopers did not believe speed or alcohol played a role, McCausland said.

The author takes a lot of stuff for granted: he assumes the reader has a fully stocked wood shop, and all the ancillary equipment specific to banjo making, like neck and peghead supports. I didn't see a tool list, and there are no instructions for how to make the various braces necessary at each stage of manufacture. Except for that, this is an extremely detailed book, and if you happen to own a cabinet making business, you'll be able to build a banjo in no time.

'Some of these things are true and some of them lies. But they are all good stories'
Zeros and Ones: Digital Women and the New Technoculture
Sadie Plant
A highly contentious, very readable and totally up-to-the-minute investigation of women's natural relationship with modern technology, an association which, Plant argues, will trigger a new sexual revolution.
Zeros and Ones is an intelligent, provocative and accessible investigation of the intersection between women, feminism, machines and in particular, information technology. Arguing that the computer is rewriting the old conceptions of man and his world, it suggests that the telecoms revolution is also a sexual revolution which undermines the fundamental assumptions crucial to patriarchal culture. Historical, contemporary and future developments in telecommunications and in IT are interwoven with the past, present and future of feminism, women and sexual difference, and a wealth of connections, parallels and affinities between machines and women are uncovered as a result. Challenging the belief that man was ever in control of either his own agency, the planet, or his machines, this book argues it is seriously undermined by the new scientific paradigms emergent from theories of chaos, complexity and connectionism, all of which suggest that the old distinctions between man, woman, nature and technology need to be radically reassessed.

January 10, 2018 | By Kathleen Ferrier In News, U.S. Vision Zero Cities
Vision Zero Buoyed by Progress in Longest-Running Programs
NYC, SF Decrease Traffic Fatalities by 28%, 41% Respectively Since Launching Vision Zero
2018 started with encouraging news from the nation's two longest-running Vision Zero programs, New York City and San Francisco, both of which reported significant progress in their efforts to prioritize safe mobility for all.
New York City reported a 28% decrease in the number of people dying in traffic crashes, down to 214 in 2017 from 299 in 2013, the year before Vision Zero was launched. This includes a significant reduction in deaths of people walking, which decreased by 45% – 184 to 101 – from 2013 to 2017. NYC and San Francisco, which were the nation's first two cities to commit to Vision Zero in 2014, both recorded their safest years on record in 2017.
In San Francisco, the number of traffic deaths decreased 41% – from 34 to 20 between 2017 and 2013, the year before Vision Zero started. Fatalities of people walking fell 34% in the same period, also a historic low.
While we certainly should not celebrate too soon, as even a single loss of life on our streets is too many, it is encouraging to see the longest-running Vision Zero programs in the nation trend in the right direction. This is especially true at a time when the nation saw the number of traffic deaths increase 14% between 2014 and 2016 to 40,000 – the highest number in at least a decade – and 4.6 million more injured.
Vision Zero Actions Breed Success, Save Lives
We commend NYC and San Francisco for their leadership in investing in changes to roadway designs, policies, city-run systems, and messaging that are making a difference.
In New York City, City leaders credit the positive results to such investments as:
– Implementation of 114 traffic safety projects in 2017 – with 75 in priority locations, or areas that disproportionately account for fatalities and severe injuries among people walking;
– Installation of 180 miles of dedicated cycling space since the launch of Vision Zero;
– Lowering of the citywide speed limit from 30 mph to 25 mph;
– Placement of safety cameras in 140 school zones;
– Kickoff of wide-ranging education campaigns such as the Dusk and Darkness initiative, which succeeded in reducing pedestrian deaths 26% during the 2016-2017 initiative launched in October and ending in February.
"Not even a single tragedy on our streets is acceptable, and we'll keep fighting every day to protect our people," NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio
"Vision Zero is working," said NYC Mayor Bill de Blasio. "The lower speed limit, increased enforcement and safer street designs are all building on each other to keep New Yorkers safe. Now we must deepen this work. Not even a single tragedy on our streets is acceptable, and we'll keep fighting every day to protect our people."
NYC's Transportation Alternatives' Executive Director Paul Steely White added: "That fatalities have fallen for a fourth straight year in New York — at a time when traffic deaths are on the rise across the nation — is a testament to the City's commitment to Vision Zero."
More projects and quotes from New York City leaders can be viewed in the City's press release.
In San Francisco, City leaders credit the positive results to such investments as:
– Installation of safety improvements on 77 miles of roadways in 2017, 34 miles of which are located within the city's High Injury Network, where 13% of streets account for 75% of its severe and fatal traffic injuries;
– Focusing on reducing excessive speeding, the number one factor in traffic fatalities and injuries on San Francisco streets, with an emphasis on roadway re-designs, education campaigns, and promoting a safety camera program to encourage safe speeds;
"This is not a victory lap. The only acceptable number is zero," SFMTA Sustainable Streets Director Tom Maguire
The historic low "is hopefully just the beginning of a very long-term decline in fatalities," said Tom Maguire, the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency's Sustainable Streets Director. "This is not a victory lap. The only acceptable number is zero. It's going to take a continued commitment from everyone in the city to build on this progress year after year."
Walk San Francisco's Policy and Program Director Cathy DeLuca reiterated the sentiment that more work is needed. "Twenty lives lost is too many. One is too many. We can get to zero. With increased investment and quicker project delivery, we can build on this momentum and reach our goal by 2024."
Moving Ahead to Zero
This news of life-saving progress in the earliest-adopter Vision Zero cities should be inspiring to communities across the nation, especially the more than 30 cities that have followed in New York's and San Francisco's footsteps by committing to Vision Zero.
NYC's and SF's record improvements show that a strong commitment to Vision Zero principles and actions do indeed make a difference in keeping people safe. As we look ahead, we know that much work remains to be done to ensure that this short-term, positive trend becomes a long-term reality in ensuring safety for all.
Read the Vision Zero Network's recommendations for how communities can step-up their efforts in 2018 to move from vision to action to reach zero.

Mon Aug 14, 2017: Rally to Support Rasmea Odeh
Brooklyn For Peace joined the Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network and other groups on Monday, August 14, 2017, in a rally to support Rasmea Odeh before her court appearance (in Detroit) and sentencing on August 17. The Rally took place at Union Square, Manhattan.
The purpose of the rally was to show love and support for Rasmea Odeh before her sentencing in federal court three days later in Detroit. The will be her last court appearance and Rasmea is planning to make a statement.
The plea agreement that has already been reached states that Rasmea will not get additional jail time – but she will have to leave the U.S. This rally will express our support for a legendary former political prisoner and beloved community leader.
Rally organized by: Samidoun Palestinian Prisoner Solidarity Network
Endorsed by Brooklyn For Peace and others
Thomas Cox represented Brooklyn For Peace and made this statement.
If you're not familiar with her case, see this article in the Nation (Nov 4, 2014). Below is a summary of the details, the background, and the legal saga.
Case of Rasmea Odeh: Summary Updated August 11, 2017
Rasmea Odeh (born 1947/1948) is a leading member of Chicago's Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim communities, and her decade of service in Chicago has changed the lives of thousands of people, particularly disenfranchised Arab women and their families. She has been with the Arab American Action Network (AAAN) since 2004, and is responsible for the management of day-to-day operations and the coordination of its Arab Women's Committee, which has a membership of nearly 600 and leads the organization's work in the areas of defending civil liberties and immigrants' rights.
In 2013, Rasmea received the Outstanding Community Leader Award from the Chicago Cultural Alliance, which described her as a woman who has "dedicated over 40 years of her life to the empowerment of Arab women, first in her homes of Palestine, Jordan and Lebanon, where she was an activist and practicing attorney, and then the past 10 years in Chicago."
In the early morning of Tuesday, October 22, 2013, then 66-year-old Rasmea Odeh was arrested at her home by agents from the Department of Homeland Security. She was indicted in federal court, charged with Unlawful Procurement of Naturalization, an allegation based on answers she gave on a 20-year-old immigration application.
The government claims that Rasmea failed to disclose that she was convicted by an Israeli military court of participating in bombings in 1969.
In 1970, after weeks of torture and rape, Rasmea finally issued a confession, which she tried unsuccessfully to withdraw when she got to court. These confessions are secured during an interrogation process that frequently includes the kind of torture Rasmea endured, as has been documented over the past four decades not only by human rights organizations, including Human Rights Watch and the Public Committee Against Torture in Israel, but also by a commission convened by the Israeli government and Israel's High Court of Justice. Rasmea was convicted in 1970 by an Israeli military court of involvement in fatal terrorist bombings. She was sentenced to life in prison in Israel for her involvement in two bombings in Jerusalem in 1969, one of which killed two people, and involvement in an illegal organization, the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP). She spent 10 years in prison before she was released in a prisoner exchange with the PFLP in 1980.
Rasmea never set out to hide her past. In 1979, she traveled to Geneva, where she described to the United Nations precisely how she came to be convicted of terrorism by Israel. As her lead attorney, Michael Deutsch, said, "It was well known that she was convicted, and traded [in a prisoner exchange]. The U.S. Embassy knew it, the State Department knew it, and Immigration should have known it."
In the years after her release, she lived in Lebanon and Jordan, where she obtained a law degree. In 1995 she immigrated to the United States, joining her brother and father, both U.S. citizens, and the large Arab-American communities in Detroit and, later, Chicago.
The case against Rasmea grew out of the investigation of 23 antiwar and Palestinian community organizers in Chicago and Minneapolis, who were subpoenaed to a federal grand jury in 2010. Rasmea came under attack by the U.S. government because she is Palestinian, and because for decades, she has organized for Palestinian liberation and self-determination, the right of return, and an end to Israeli occupation and colonization. Palestine support work, especially the Boycott Divestment Sanctions (BDS) movement, has made a number of recent gains, and the long arm of federal law enforcement has attempted to crack down on it, as it has on all effective movements for social justice in the history of this country. Rasmea's prosecution is part of this crackdown.
In August 2014, Rasmea's defense team had filed a motion to dismiss the indictment on the grounds that it was "the product of an illegal investigation into the First Amendment activities of the Arab-American Action Network (AAAN) and intended to suppress the work of the defendant in support of the Arab community of Chicago." The request for dismissal was denied.
In January of 2010 the Assistant U.S. Attorney Brandon Fox "initiated a request through the office of International Affairs Criminal Division of the U.S. Department of Justice from the State of Israel for records of the defendant." In July 2011, the Israelis sent a set of documents to Assistant U.S. Attorney Fox, supporting the claim that she "had been arrested, convicted and imprisoned by the military legal system imposed by Israeli in the West Bank…"
None of the 23 activists subpoenaed in 2010 under the grand jury investigation for possible material support for terrorism has ever been charged. Over two years later, with nothing to show for its 2010 raids, the U.S. Attorney indicted Rasmea for falsely answering questions in 2004 in her naturalization application." The defense attorneys speculated that "the U.S. Attorney in Illinois, which was the office that initiated the request for the Israeli documents and was carrying out the investigation, apparently passed the case to the office in Michigan, to divert attention from its failed efforts to criminalize the work of the AAAN in Chicago."
Legal saga
Rasmea was convicted of immigration fraud on November 10, 2014, by a jury in federal court in Detroit, Michigan, for concealing her arrest, conviction, and imprisonment for the 1969 bombings. After her conviction, she was imprisoned in a Michigan county jail for a month, under very difficult conditions, including almost three weeks in solitary confinement. Supporters across the country rallied for—and won—her release on bond.
On December 11, 2014, she was released on bond pending sentencing. Her counsel maintains she did not receive a "full and fair trial" because the judge ruled as irrelevant her testimony that her confession to the crimes had been extracted by torture while she was in the custody of Israeli police in 1969. On February 13, 2015, federal Judge Gershwin A. Drain denied Odeh's request that he either overturn the federal jury's conviction of her or grant her a new trial. He ruled that her argument lacked legal merit, as evidence showed that she illegally obtained U.S. citizenship, the jurors "clearly did not believe [her] explanation," and that "the evidence was more than sufficient to support the jury's verdict."
Judge Drain allowed the Israeli military court conviction to be entered into evidence, but barred testimony about her torture at the hands of her Israeli captors. That ruling eliminated the testimony of expert witness Dr. Mary Fabri, a clinical psychologist who has decades of experience working with torture survivors. Fabri was prepared to testify that the allegedly false answers on the immigration forms were the result of Rasmea's chronic Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).
During her November 2014 trial, Rasmea and her defense team put the crimes of Israel on record–her story of being exiled from the village of her birth, Lifta, in 1948; of being exiled again during the 1967 war; of experiencing the death of her sister after the raid on her home in 1969; and of being a political prisoner, one of the most famous in the history of the Palestine liberation movement.
In March 2015, Rasmea was sentenced to 18 months in prison, loss of her U.S. citizenship, and subsequent deportation. However, because of massive publicity and popular organizing efforts, she was allowed to be free on bond pending appeal. The sentence was a huge blow to the prosecutor, who had asked for up to seven years. Her appeal was filed by defense attorneys on June 9, the prosecution replied on July 8, and the defense rebuttal was sent to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit on July 20. The appeals court heard oral arguments in Cincinnati on October 14, 2015, and Deutsch made a powerful argument for a new trial for Rasmea.
In February 2016, the Sixth Circuit Court of Appeals vacated Rasmea's conviction and sent her case back to the District Court. The Appeals Court ruled that Judge Drain had erred in keeping the evidence of torture and PTSD from the jury. If the government decides to try again, this ruling means that Rasmea should now be able to tell her entire story to the courts and the jury.
At a hearing in his chambers in Detroit on June 6, 2016, Judge Drain scheduled a new trial for Rasmea to begin in January 2017.
In December 2016, however, in an apparent attempt to circumvent that defense, the government filed new charges against Odeh. The new indictment added two new allegations that were absent from the government's previous case: that Odeh was engaged in "terrorist activity" in 1969 and that she was associated with a "designated terrorist organization"—the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine.
Michael Deutsch, Rasmea's lead attorney, said the government hoped the PTSD defense would not apply to these allegations, since they allegedly took place before she was tortured by Israeli interrogators.
In March 2017, Odeh accepted a plea agreement, bringing to a close her more than three-year legal battle with the US government.
Odeh will now lose her US citizenship and be deported. But as part of the agreement she will not spend any time in prison or detention by US immigration authorities, according to a statement from her defense team.
The Rasmea Defense Committee said the decision to accept the plea deal was difficult, but are calling it a "victory" in light of the government's attempts to sentence Odeh to up to seven years in prison.
The defense committee said the decision to accept a plea was based on the belief that under the "current, racist political climate" Odeh's "prospects for a fair trial are slimmer than ever."
On April 25, surrounded by friends and supporters in a federal court in Detroit, Rasmea Odeh entered a guilty plea. Her final court date will be August 17, where she will be sentenced.
"We can find justice someplace. Maybe not in this court, maybe in another place. There is justice in this world, we will find it. We will face injustice and we have to change this world, not just in this country, in all the world in all the places there is no justice, we have to bring the justice together. In spite of everything, we are the stronger people, not the government who is unjust." —Rasmea to supporters after November 2014 verdict

Heartbreaker Ring (Netflix Shop Exclusive)
As a first-year Never at the School for Evil, Gertrude of Ravenswood fell in love with a prince at the School for Good, admiring him from across the moat that kept their schools apart. When she heard of the prince's love for sweets, Gertrude devoted herself to the art of candy-making. Her masterpiece: a sugar ring topped with a heart of black licorice as pure and rich as her love. Before she could give her prince the ring, though, Gertrude was caught by the wolf guards and sentenced to the Doom Room. The ring was locked away and never seen again. Afterwards, Gertrude hardened her heart against love and turned her sweet-making talents to ensnare the kinds of princes she had once fallen for. Much of her work now dots the Endless Woods, but one stands above the rest: a house made of candy, that would eventually be visited by two children named… Hansel & Gretel.
BONBONWHIMS presents a collaboration with Netflix's new movie, "The School for Good and Evil." Originally adapted from the Best-selling book series written by Soman Chainani.
Exclusive to Netflix Shop only, the "Heartbreaker" ring is handmade with premium Japanese resin and embellished with an upcycled deadstock black heart charm. Size 6 only.
All jewelry pieces from the SFGE x BONBONWHIMS collaboration come with a corresponding short story written by the author, Soman Chainani, detailing the origin and history of each piece. The "Heartbreaker" ring includes a branded jewelry pouch.

The other day I wrote about horse happiness. Today I furthered my thoughts on this matter as I was talking with Susan Harris, a Level Four Centered Riding instructor and my mentor.
I told her the story about Raudi's big adventure. This happened yesterday. We were heading towards the Murphy Road turnoff when Raudi saw activity happening down at the trailhead/intersection. There was a Prius, a blue van, a few dogs, and a handful of fat tire bicyclists hanging out. I stayed put as she walked towards them, stopped, walked forward, stopped, walked forward. When she finally ascertained that they were not going to harm her, she marched on over to where the bicyclists were hanging out. She first touched the Prius, got a treat, next touched the van, got a treat.
I talked with the bicyclists a bit and then told one to lift her front bicycle tire off the ground. She picked it up and Raudi went right over to it and started spinning it with her nose. One of the bicyclists asked me how I taught her to do this. I explained to him that I chunked the task down, took it one step at a time.
After talking a bit more, Raudi and I headed down toward Ridgerunner, and turned back around at the road intersection. We rode back to the corner where the riders were still there. Again Raudi stopped, walked forward, stopped, walked forward. When finally, she ascertained that the bicyclists were not going to harm her, she marched on over to where they were hanging out. I gave her a treat and we moved on. She was switching her tail because she wanted to stay put.
I didn't think too much about what happened. But my telling this story to Susan was a catalyst for a lengthy conversation about the importance of creativity and play, particularly with horses. And yes, this is the missing link. Too often horse people are intent on getting the horse to do what they think it should be doing. And too often the horse has no say in the matter. It's all command based. After, there is no sense of self-satisfaction.
I have never, ever had a clinician before today acknowledge the importance of play in horse/human interaction. I wonder why this is.
It was a play day here, mostly because it was so cold and the wind was blowing so hard. (Again). Pete plowed the arena yesterday, and today we finished setting up the March course. It's Raudi and Hrimmi and my kind of course – lots of moving around, very little focus on footwork.
I first got Tyra out and we worked on something new, scent training. I repeatedly tossed my glove ahead of her and had her find it. I then let her know she did the right thing by using the clicker and after rewarded her with a treat. I then put the glove under a cone and had her find it. She really enjoyed this. After, we went for a walk – she's doing great at staying out of my space. I found a rubber duck toy on the walk – I am going to use this to train her further. Who knows, Tyra may someday save a life.
I next did agility with Hrimmi – she spent a lot of time just checking things out because Pete and I were working on the course. She had a great time picking up and throwing the cones around. I am going to do a special course with her tomorrow – I may have Tyra find the glove and have Hrimmi hand it to me.
Lastly, I did some agility with Raudi. She really likes the scary corner, which is between two snow walls. She can get up a good trot going through it.
All the mares like the arena space and are equating it with a good time. It's difficult getting Hrimmi to leave.
Everything we did, we did in the spirit of play. All, including me, had a wonderful time. I sensed that the ponies were really happy. I was happy. The horse/human happiness equation was most certainly in balance.

Remembrance Day: lest we forget ...
Memorial Day is a celebration established by the Italian Parliament with Law 211 of July 20, 2000. Italy has thus joined the international proposal to declare January 27 as a day commemorating the victims of National Socialism and Fascism, the Holocaust and to honor those who risked their lives have protected the persecuted.
The text of Article 1 of the Act defines the purpose of Memorial Day:
"The Italian Republic recognizes the 27th day of January, when the gates of Auschwitz," Memorial Day "in order to remember the Shoah (extermination of the Jewish people), the racial laws, the persecution of Italian Jewish citizens, the Italians who suffered deportation, imprisonment, death, and those who, in different fields and camps, have opposed the project of extermination, and the risk of their lives they have saved more lives and protected the persecuted. »
Never before in these times of economic and social difficulties is essential to remember what man can do against his fellow man. Never before in these moments need to invite everyone to social cohesion, to a man's universal vision. It is necessary that all, repeat all of us face adversity without sterile popolusmi the many who daily live. The Foklore is definitely a tool to support this philosophy, vision. The groups around the world with their actions allow you to immortalize the memory and at the same time are a teaching tool for future generations so that phenomena such as the Holocaust, Holocaust denial, racism be defeated not by a legal ban but by a cultural approach that condemns any form or ideology, doing so will avoid a possible recurrence in the times we live in today ...

"an elephant in a glass wall" - The event Miromagnum participate
Last night at the invitation of President of the Pollino National Park Miromagnum have actively participated in the meeting convened by Ente goal: "Making the network to create a great event for the Territory," The Miromagnum, on behalf of the President Marcello Perrone, have fully willingness to work in this direction. With the establishment of a permanent work table for the implementation of the proposed project. It should be noted that the idea for some time, was married, as a method by Miromagnum, it is true that the Xenia Folklore Festival 2011 has been fully characterized on a shared schedule between public, private associations. The table already has a starting point, in fact, although many challenges, Gerardo Bonifitati presented a Budget which shows the maximum temporal and territorial scope of the event. In the coming days, the board consists of the various administrations and presidents of the participating groups will have to turn the idea into a project viable and attractive. The goal that arises is to be able to compete for the award of the ROP regional events. The deadline is in less than a month, every participant has the obligation to pool their efforts, leaving sterile parochialism, everyone will have to leave on the table some of their autonomy in the name of cooperation. A warning, "rejected the proposal, the proposal stated," This is the only rule that will follow the design process! Mind you friends if we were to lose this train I'm afraid it will be difficult to review foklore prestigious Festival of the territory .... Next to work!
CASTROVILLARI - He knows you want to make a difficult task, which compares to the passage of "an elephant in a glass wall," but Dominic Pappaterra a unique event in the folklore of the Pollino we always believed. And "for the formal part" that pertains to him tried, tonight, at the same table to put the twelve municipalities in the district, their proloco, and representatives of major groups of folk traditions that have made their passion for life. But despite the good intentions and assumptions made, some stomach ache he felt the meeting. Especially in some of these associations. Not all, but a few. But this is the signal that if the underlying principles should combine the folklore around here, unfortunately, there are still many parochialism and "sovereignty" - as he calls the president of the Park Pappaterra - which many are related and to whom perhaps it will be difficult to understand that to achieve a "great event" must give up something as well. To the states general of the folklore of the Pollino, commissioned by Dominic Pappaterra, everything the right way is not gone. But the president confesses, closing the meeting, however, that "encourages us to work," he expected "that went a lot worse." He is a man who knows the territory well some "scale" in relations and in the ways of the local folklore of the men who made history. And they are, among other things, that "expertise" on which Pappaterra want to aim for " Pollino to nominate a great event of folklore. "The recipe is easily stated in the introduction of an appointment to see the greatest exponents, institutional and folklore of the area, all in the same room." We must put a little willingness "to avoid" pulverize resources' at risk not to help "no event." And then there is the watchful eye of the Region of Calabria, with its ban on "big events" that may be to optimize the resource for all in terms of institutional and economic. Need a short proposal that "involves the whole" and that allows to "build a path that we can see fully involved." All in good conditions. And for the institutional part, beyond just a few of the right method and organization (by the town of Morano, with the assessor rating, and the town of Frascineto, with the commissioner Sancineto), all seem to agree on principles and on the initiative. dissonant voices are heard by the stronger Morano per site, with Nicola Fuscaldo, and the leader of "City of Castrovillari," Anthony Notaro, but also with the ever-present Leonardo D'Agostino.
They are the ones who do not like being with a proposal, signed by Gerardo Bonifati already made and ready-made. And while the former will remain until the end, continuing to challenge you have arrived at a meeting with a project already defined, the second, after his speech "critical" will leave the assembly. will remain, providing a starting point different reading (can-) instead Marcello Perrone, Tonino La Rocca, Remo Chiappetta, to which the President Pappaterra tributerà also his praise for the "availability" declared to try to stay together on this idea of a unitary event. It will then be the same Gerard Bonifati, but before him the president Pappatera, to underline how the proposal is "a trace" of which you do not want to have "management." relies on the fact the "technical committee" that will be here in a month if there are grounds to reason together on a great event in the local folklore. Pappaterra attempts to retract the controversy in the bed of a discussion of principle. Castrovillari The mayor, alderman present along Vineyard, tries to emphasis on the "identity of the park that is also cultural." And try to smooth the edges of a discussion that is too confining "in their own particular 'is that, if you will, this proposal from the Park is" a political challenge in the noble sense of the word. "Folklore, in short, can become a great tourist attratore, supported by public funds that go in the direction of" territoriality "and" innovation ", if only everyone will understand that it is indeed" the vocation of this area ".

Ciao Zio Anto! (Honorary President Miromagnum Group's)
Yesterday was one of those Sundays, which inspired "Chiazza talk to ..." in short, one of those days where it's worth and the desire to live in Mormanno. One of those Sundays when passing through the narrow streets of the beloved village still feel the scents and authentic values. This lovely day will always be marked and will mark our history. After lunch he fell asleep in an eternal sleep, one of our founding fathers. He was the uncle of all, our Honorary President, Antonio Perrone Ndonio Zu. I remember the countless experiences of our many trips. Ever watchful and attentive to every thing, was the Uncle of all, on him you could always refer to. He loved the folklore of his life more, even in recent years in which health was fading there was no opportunity to demonstrate the closeness to the group, this summer I remember saying "I want the Green Festival, I left an hour first with my Lady .... I will stop ... but I am not worry! "At the next festival, the next departure to the next show there will be more physically. I'm sure you've been accepted in the highest, with the honors you deserve, knowing you, you have already closed a deal on here also want to be with your grandchildren's Miromagnum!. I'm sure! I must say I miss you already heard, but we will endure thanks to the faith and love that you taught us. I'll leave you with a poem written by your dear friend Carmine Sola.
"Murmannu meju Murmannu
porta di la Calabria
vurria ristà cu tia, pi tuttu l'annu
vurria ristà cu tia, pi tuttu l'annu...
You'll be forever in the heart of your beloved Mormanno!
