Tracy Lawrence Adds A New Twist To "Good Ole Days" with Tim McGraw, Luke Bryan, Jason Aldean and More
March 16, 2018 November 14, 2017 by Lisa Konicki
If you close your eyes and listen to Tracy Lawrence's new album, Good Ole Days, you'd think you were back in the 1990s. But alas, you'd be wrong. The "Alibis" singer is bringing the '90s back to today with a little help from his friends. And it's just what the doctor ordered.
"I just felt like this was a great way to bridge the gap between my heyday and what's going on now with the young contemporary artists," Tracy tells One Country. "It's all about creating an event. This was a way for us to create an event to get things rolling again for my career, and get my brand value back up. And I've been blessed with a lot of really good friends over the years, and a lot of these younger artists that are doing so well. If I didn't have a really strong relationship with them, they were huge fans of mine. I think just being able to put this together speaks volume"
Tracy, who sounds just as good as he did in the '90s, enlisted friends Tim McGraw, Justin Moore, Chris Young, Luke Bryan, Big & Rich, Jason Aldean, Dustin Lynch, Kellie Pickler, Easton Corbin, Luke Combs and Craig Morgan—some of country's most traditional voices —to add their vocals to his previous hit songs, on a brand new album, Good Ole Days.
"I started off with Tim [McGraw] and Jason [Aldean]. They were the first two," Tracy said of his guest vocalists. "And I called them directly, and we just went down the list from there. Kellie and Chris are both on the same management company. They were easy picks. Chris had been singing 'The Good Die Young' at his house gig in Texas when we met years ago. It just kind of found its home. Most of [the songs] were picked by the artists. It was like once they came on board, 'What do you want to do?' And as the songs were picked, we just went down the list."
The 49-year-old, who will turn 50 on Jan. 27, began his career in 1991 with his debut album Sticks and Stones, which produced his first No. 1 hit with the title track. Over his career Tracy has released 9 studio albums, one live album and a Christmas album, which have produced several No. 1 hits, including "Alibis", "Can't Break It to My Heart", "My Second Home," "If the Good Die Young," "Texas Tornado," "Time Marches On" and "Find Out Who Your Friends Are."
With the exception of "My Second Home" and "Find Out Who Your Friends Are," which Tracy says is already a collaboration that couldn't be improved upon, all the No. 1 hits can all be found on the new record. But of all the hits he had to choose from, which is a favorite of the Texas native?
"I have favorites for different reasons, but as far as the song and what it is and just the impact it's had on my life, 'Time Marches On' is the big one for me. You know, it's one of those career songs that can stand the test of time. It could be re-recorded in another 20 years and it could still be that impactful, because it's a life song. And the way that it's written, it's so poetic, yet it says so much about the multiple generations in one family in 3 1/2 minutes. It's absolutely a work of art."
Aside from the 9 hits, "Good Ole Days" also features two original tracks—the album's title track performed with Brad Arnold of 3 Doors Down and Big & Rich and "Finally Home," performed with Craig Morgan. A portion of the proceeds from "Finally Home" will be donated to Operation Finally Home—for which Craig is a spokesperson— a national non-profit organization that provides mortgage-free, custom-built homes to wounded, ill and injured veterans or widows and widowers of the fallen.
As we talked to Tracy about his album, he took us through a couple of the songs on the album, sharing his thoughts on the hits.
"Time Marches On" with Tim McGraw
"It's pretty straight forward. Tim came in the studio. He was actually there when we tracked it. And as a lot of the earlier artists were, some of the first hub guys, the ones, the initial guys that we picked were actually there for tracking. It was great. We sat down, Tim and I got caught up. We've stayed in touch over the last several years, so it was good to actually see each other face-to-face and get to hang out for a little bit. He and I have been friends for a long time. So, that's how it goes."
"Alibis" with Justin Moore
"'Alibis' was Justin [Moore]. Justin is a really cool kid, and I didn't realize what a big fan of mine he was. We both grew up in Arkansas, and he actually, affectionately told me that I was his Elvis. It was that big of a thing to him. I played the state fair in Little Rock and Justin brought his family out and got up and sang 'Alibis,' and an old George Strait song with me. So we got to spend a little time together in the middle of the week. He's really a cool guy, and was a huge, huge fan of mine coming from Arkansas."
"Sticks and Stones" with Luke Bryan
"'Sticks and Stones' was late in the project, and I've been around Luke [Bryan] a little bit, but he was actually not there for tracking. We went over to Blackbird [Studio], and Luke came in and sang on the record. It was real cool because my kids were there with me. We were actually heading down to the beach on vacation, so they got pictures with Luke, and they were all excited about that because, obviously, they are big Luke fans. He was very gracious and very sweet to my family."
"Stars Over Texas" with Kellie Pickler
"Pickler. What can you say about Pickler? She is very sweet and very charming. I'd known her for some time, and been around her a little bit, but she did a version of 'Santa Baby' on a Christmas project a few years ago—I thought it was one of the greatest approaches to that song, however many zillions of times that thing has been cut. I just thought that she did such a great job on it. I love the way she sings traditional country songs. She has a really great traditional voice. It's got a little sultriness to it, it's got a little innocence to it. There's just some texture in her voice, and I really thought that she would be the perfect person for this. She was very gracious to participate."
"Can't Break It To My Heart" with Jason Aldean
"Jason [Aldean]. One of the first guys picked. And this was the song Jason wanted to do. So we pretty much stayed straightforward with it. We pretty much went back and copied the original record. And he's great. He came in, he did about three passes, and he was done. It was pretty quick. Jason and I have known each other for a while, so we actually made friends several years ago, early on in his career, before things really exploded for him. So I've known him for some time."

The Skiddaw camp at Scales Plantation is made up of a beautiful handcrafted Shepherd's hut, a wooden kitchen and bathroom shelter and a compost loo, all in a clearing in the middle of the wood with views over a pond.
Simple wooden furniture gives the hut a traditional rustic feel, yet it's extremely comfortable. The full-size double bed and bunks have feather down duvets and blankets to sink into. There is a wood burner for heating, but the interior of the hut is kept uncluttered thanks to a separate shelter housing the kitchen and bathroom just outside, which can be opened up to give the chef or bather a unique feeling of being in the woods, or tightly closed if the weather turns.

Our world-famous "unknown" master artist
EARLE BEATTIE December 1 1965
Our world-famous "unknown" master artist EARLE BEATTIE December 1 1965
EARLE BEATTIE
While Philip Aziz remains unknown to most Canadians, his talents are sought eagerly by opera stars
MONSIGNOR J. A. FEENEY, the husky, handsome rector of St. Peter's Basilica at London, Ontario, decided in 1958 that it needed a new chapel — the Lady Chapel. It would be modest in size and cost, furnished with things already on hand, but would have to have above the altar an impressive picture of the Madonna. He commissioned Philip Aziz to do this.
When Aziz completed his six - by - nine - foot Mary, Queen Of Heaven, painted in the Italian Renaissance style with egg tempera highlighted by gold leaf, and framed by Aziz himself in fused, jewel-like fragments cd glass, it made the wall behind it look dull and shabby. So the monsignor had Aziz create a new wall of iron, bronze and opaque glass with a cross-and-crown motif. The magnificent painting and the lovely wall made the altar look drab, so Aziz's next task was to design a new altar— white statuary marble with clean modernistic lines—and a new tabernacle with gold doors with a dove pattern.
Each improvement led to another. Before Aziz was through, he had hired a crew of twenty and designed and fashioned a marble floor inlaid with black terrazzo, crownlike chandeliers, bleached-oak chairs and kneeling benches, a gold, silver and crystal chalice and communion plate, and even the vestments of the priests.
His work was barely completed when, early on a January morning in 1959, he heard a radio news bulletin: St. Peter's was burning. He threw on a coat and sped to the basilica to find that Monsignor Feeney, at great risk to his life, had saved the huge multimillion-dollar building by crawling through a smoke-filled passage to turn off the electric fans that were blowing flames through a defective heating system. In the Lady Chapel, Aziz's Mary was slightly smudged and cracked but easily reparable and devout people knelt in the rubble giving thanks that their painting was safe. Aziz stood alone and unnoticed. deeply touched by the emotion his picture had stirred. "I was proud," he remembers. "No finer tribute could have been paid me, for it is an artist's art. not the artist, that matters."
Aziz is a compact, athletic, articulate forty-two-yearold bachelor. While curiously unrecognized in his own Canada, he is winning international renown and has lately completed a life-sized portrait of Eugene, Cardinal Tisserant, dean of the Sacred College of Cardinals. He recalls, as vividly as the scene in the Lady Chapel, a conversation with Lewis E. York, chairman of painting in the Department of Painting and Sculpture at Yale's School of Fine Arts, the day he was graduating. "If I'd gone in for medicine or law or engineering," he told York. "I'd have it made. I'd have all sorts of offers. But how does an artist set up shop?"
"Get your name before the public as much as you possibly can." said York. "Exhibit your stuff, good or bad. in every exhibition, big or small. Get your name in the newspapers, get publicity, get the public interested in you."
"By doing that," Aziz argued, "you put your personality first, your art second. It may take longer, it may be slower, to put your art before your personality and develop the quality of your work to / continued on pane 35

a point where it must be accepted on ids own merit, but I think this is a better course."
"That," said York, "is what 1 hoped you would say."
So Aziz has gone it on his own. the long slow way, but it has brought him to a point at which he has as much as he can do, at fees ranging from five thousand to fifteen thousand dollars a picture.
The Tisserant portrait—Tisserant at cighty-one is. in effect, prime minister to the Pope and is rumored to have heen twice nominated for the papacy— was commissioned by a wealthy patron who will present it to the church. Aziz spenf a week at Tisserant s mansion in Rome doing sketches of him, first in charcoal, then in oil. It took him six months to translate these studies into a six-by-seven-foot painting. It is a work that seems to be a mirrorlike image of the cardinal but incorporates the distortions and techniques of sophisticated painting so skillfully that, without being discernible, they emphasize the character of the subject. Tisserant is wearing a simple black cassock, red cap and red sash. His eyes are Gallic blue and piercingly shrewd, his full grey beard is patriarchal and looks as though each hair had been painted individually, and his large hands rest commandingly on holy books. The background is abstract — blue and white arches tinged with yellow sunshine and symbolizing current trends in the church by subtly suggesting a new dawn. This dawn illuminates a sheaf of paper inscribed, "Most Holy Ecumenical Conference Vatican II." The frame, by Aziz, is basswood overlaid with antique silver and gold leaf, so that it resembles heavy metal.
The cardinal, at first, was reluctant to pose. "But Eminence," Aziz told him, "what I'm really painting is the Holy See you represent — you as the servant." From then on, he had a willing and disciplined sitter. The
portrait is now in Aziz' studio near the University of Western Ontario campus at London, crated, weighing four hundred and fifty pounds, and awaiting shipment to Europe.
While Aziz has established his reputation chiefly by liturgical art — defined as a picture you can pray before — he has ventured successfully
into vastly different fields. His painting of Rise Stevens, the mezzosoprano, in the role of the gypsy enchantress Carmen, will hang in the Metropolitan Opera House at New York's Lincoln Center when its construction is completed in 1966. She and her husband. Walter Surovy. saw an Aziz portrait in New York and
Surovy asked Aziz to paint his wife in her greatest role. Aziz painted her in the New York studio of his friend Yousuf Karsh, the photographer.
At the unveiling, Aziz stripped the curtain off with a dramatic flourish, his eyes on Miss Stevens, his thoughts on how she would react. She gazed at her likeness — a Carmen with long
hair falling over bare shoulders, one breast exposed, and a she-devil look on her face. "Oh, Carmen — you bitch!" she cried, hurling herself at Aziz and hugging him. Another of his close friends is Erik Bruhm, the Danish ballet dancer who has danced with the National Ballet of Canada, whom Aziz admires for his physical strength, his masculinity. This may be a key to his character and his work. He dislikes modern art that is "sick" or effeminate.
"Art," Philip Aziz insists, "must have an intellectual as well as an emotional content. It must be intelligible to the viewer. Artists must experiment, but experiments in art, as in science, belong in the laboratory. Some very good artist will come out with a new and completely experimental idea. Other artists, who have not his talent or insight, get on the bandwagon of his style or concept. They can't paint but the experimental nature of the idea, plus their beards, their tawdry mistresses and the fact that they are pursuing what is the fad of the moment, get them an acceptance their talent never could win for them."
While he says today's experiments will ultimately improve art, he adds that the picture buyer should distinguish between experimental work and valid art likely to have permanent value.
The kind of artists he condemns as "ulcerated men and silly women, quasi-amateurs," respond that he is a technician, that he should be using a camera instead of a brush, and that
he has painted women's breasts with golden nipples. He has, in his Three
Graces.
Fecundity is a recurring Aziz theme. His Surge Of Apples shows split halves of the fruit falling through space — the fallout of seeds. "My aim is to portray regeneration," he says. He himself has thus far shunned family ties; he twice came close to marrying but, he says, "would have been divorced or sent either one of these women up the wall."
Aziz has drawn on the Bible for many of his subjects, among them The Creation Of Adam, The Incarnation, The Resurrection and The Second Coming. He strives to interpret and emphasize the divinely liturgical aspects of religion, and says of such pictures, "They belong near or over an altar. You can pray to them. But they are undenominational. They could hang in any church."
"It's a kind of genius"
"Philip Aziz is the best unconscious theologian I have ever met," says Roman Catholic Bishop G. Emmett Carter, of London, Ont. "He is not learned in dogma or liturgy but whenever he paints something religiously symbolic, it is exactly right. It's a kind of genius."
An early painting by Aziz, Pieta, is an altar piece in the monks' chapel in St. Bruno, Que., while another, The Nativity, is in the mother house of the Sisters of St. Joseph in Hamilton. For Lady Eaton, he designed the white-marble altar, shaped like a tri-
umphant arch, m the west chapel of the Timothy Eaton Memorial Church in Toronto, and on the rear screen he painted a symbolic deer, peacock and phoenix.
Aziz, son of Lebanese parents, turns easily from interpreting religion to interpreting nature, and his panels, The Four Seasons, are perhaps the most eye-catching items in the spectacular new Detroit building of Michigan Consolidated Gas where they hang at the entrance to the employees' cafeteria. Another Aziz mural decorates the loggia of the Grosse Pointe mansion of Mr. and Mrs. A. D. Wilkinson, prominent Detroiters.
Animated, excitable, with bright brown eyes and black hair beginning to thin on top, he exercises vigorously to stay in trim. He can entertain his friends — who are usually rich, influential, intellectual or all three combined— for hour after hour with his anecdotes and pungent philosophy. He was brought up in London, Ont., where, although Greek Orthodox, he attended Roman Catholic schools and, occasionally, Anglican church services. "At twenty-one you can adopt the religion you want," his father, Charles Aziz, told him. He still takes communion only at the Greek Orthodox church.
He knew, when he was six, that he would be an artist, and can recall exactly when and how he reached the decision: "Our teacher, a nun, asked us to draw a flag. I looked around and saw all the children pressing hard with their colored crayons. But a flag, 1 felt, needed to be softer, so I sketched it lightly, with delicate shadings. 1 also saw that the children were drawing rectangles, but flags fly in the breeze and have soft furls in them, so I drew mine to suggest a flag waving against a blue sky. Just as I was trying to finish it, the sister picked up my sketch in one hand and held my face in the other and said, 'Philip, you are going to be an artist.' "
In high school he took a special art course, and in 1941 he was hired by Eaton's display department in Toronto. But the war was on, so he enlisted as a "war artist" in the RCAF, which transformed him into an instrument technician. In 1944 he was in New York on leave and dutifully telephoned an "aunt" (his father's cousin). "Come to me immediately," she commanded.
So he hurried to Park Avenue, to a jewelry salon called "The Little Shop of T. Azeez," which had a man with a
musical-comedy uniform standing by its bronze gates. Inside, his father's cousin sat like an old prophetess and said, "You are the image of my father. Since I have no son, you will be it." Her name was Madame Marie el-Khouri, but she had been nicknamed "Arabia" by a customer. Lord Dunsany, the Irish author, and went by that. She was short and dark and had lost an eye. She knew everybody, introduced him to fashionable New York, took him to dinner with
Vanderbilts and Du Ponts. After the war, he enrolled at Yale, and at weekends he and "Aunt Arabia" were wined and dined and chauffeured from place to place. They spent winter holidays at Palm Beach, where she had a second store, and he helped her design such jewelry as a one-hundredand - fifty - thousand - dollar diamondand-emerald necklace.
When he graduated from Yale, he and Arabia did the grand tour of Europe and the Middle East and had
a private audience with Pope Pius XII. Aziz' Thousand And One Nights in Manhattan ended abruptly when he refused to take over and run the jewelry shop as a career. Arabia never forgave him. She left her money to Princeton and to the Institute For The Blind.
Aziz returned to Canada and lectured in art for five years at the University of Western Ontario while he was establishing himself as a painter. Within a few months, he had
sold his Pieta to the monks at St. Bruno for five thousand dollars and Lady Eaton herself had opened his first one-man show at the T. Eaton Fine Art Galleries in Toronto. Her son's wife, Mrs. John David Eaton, opened his second one-man show at the same galleries in 1957. Meanwhile, he had done portraits of other members of the Eaton family, of Yousuf Karsh, of John Bassett, publisher of the Toronto Telegram, and other prominent people, and commissions for religious paintings were arriving more and more frequently.
He had attained financial independence, quit his lecturing post to devote all his time to painting, and remodelled a seventy-five-year-old house on a brow of land by the University of Western Ontario Campus, overlooking the Thames River. The old house is painted white, with black shutters, and its rooms are filled with priceless antiques and Aziz' own paintings. Among the antiques are a Louis XVI desk, an intricately carved fifteenth-century Italian cabinet, rosewood chairs and an Arabian inlaid end table. Across a brick-walled courtyard—-he laid the bricks himself— is his studio, where light flows in from a skylight and a thirty-fivefoot window. The floor is of maple, marble, stone and ochre brick, with a garden in the middle that has an hibiscus tall enough to touch the splitbeam coiling. In the studio there are more antiques, and a record player, and a grand piano that Aziz "plays at by ear."
An important half inch
And there are, of course, the tools of his trade, and more paintings: strange, wonderfully executed, controversial paintings in egg tempera, bright clear pigments and gold leaf — part Italian Renaissance, part abstract, part intellect, part emotion, part reverence, part fun, and wholly Aziz.
Scattered around outside the studio are the capitals, or ornamental tops, of Corinthian columns, rescued from an old bank that was torn down. Sitting on them, looking out over his broad lawn bordered by a grove of trees, and catching fleeting glimpses of his pheasants, chickadees, tanagers, jays and scarlet cardinals, which he feeds each day, you may hear him tell how, in 1940, the fact that he was half an inch under five feet nine caused the Royal Canadian Mounted Police to turn him down when he tried to join them. It may be recognized, when Aziz' paintings can be seen in perspective, as the most important half inch in the history of Canadian art.
Then, again, it may not. For who is to judge so soon the art of a man who paints for the ages, combining the techniques of the past and the future?
How does he appraise himself? "I call myself 'Aziz, the Picture Maker,' as in Omar, the Tent Maker," he says. And, as an afterthought: "I get red in the face when a kookie says, 'I owe nothing to the Judo-Christian traditions. It's all in myself.' I tell him civilizations arc founded on religions. not on hamburgers and sunbathing." ★

Organizational History
Alianza Federal de Pueblos Libres (Alliance of Free City-States) was an Albuquerque based organization whose primary purpose was to secure the restoration of land grants in New Mexico and the Southwest which were guaranteed by the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo. Other goals of the Alianza were to gain respect and recognition for the Spanish language and culture. Alianza Federal de Pueblos Libres was formerly called Alianza Federal de las Mercedes (Federal Alliance of Land Grants). The name was changed to "emphasize the implications of the governmental characteristics of the community land grants under the Laws of the Indies as free city-states."
Reies Lopez Tijerina was the leader and founder of Alianza de Mercedes in the early 1960s. Initially, the composition of the group was primarily the landless, impoverished, aging, rural Spanish American immigrants living in the slums of Albuquerque and Santa Fe. By the mid 1960s, however, the membership had changed to include thousands of Spanish American small ranchers and village farmers, angered at the National Forest Service for forcing them to migrate or to seek employment outside of agriculture, and because they could not get a hearing from state or federal agencies. As members, they caused Alianza to become more militant.
Members of Alianza raided the courthouse at Tierra Amarilla on June 5, 1967. They intended to make a citizen's arrest of District Attorney Alfonso Sanchez, who had arrested Alianza members while they were trying to attend an Alianza meeting in Coyote, which Sanchez proclaimed was illegal. State Police Officer Nick Saiz and county jailer Eulogio Salazar were shot and wounded during the raid. Tijerina was acquitted in December 1968 of criminal charges filed against him as a result of the raid. Subsequently, he was tried and convicted on additional charges of assault and false imprisonment in November 1969. He entered state prison in June 1974, and was paroled in December 1974. In 1978, New Mexico Governor Jerry Apodoca granted Tijerina an executive pardon.

Nursing children back to health in Kasai Central
Acute Malnutrition DRC Nutrition
There's a certain smell to the severely malnourished children in the hospital ward as the nurses gather them for the morning 'appetite test.' They're trying to see if the assembled children have improved enough that they are able to eat again – since their arrival in hospital, the children have all just been on milk formula. The ward smells of illness, and somehow, decay, all with a faint whiff of peanut as well, from the plumpy nut the medical staff use for the appetite test. It's a peanut based therapeutic food that will become these children's diets for up to three months as their bodies regain weight and strength.
I'm seated across from Jean, 5. He's collapsed himself down in the corridor and sat loosely gripping his package of plumpy, barely managing to nod as the nurse helps him to squeeze it out of the packet. There's a certain regression that happens to severely malnourished children, they just about manage to move on their own, but like an exhausted sleepwalker struggling through jelly, staring blankly at the people and things around them.
Jean's been at the hospital for eleven days now. He arrived weighing almost 9 kilograms, but much of that weight was due to the severe swelling that comes as a side effect of severe acute malnutrition. Jean now weighs just 7 kilos; his baby brother is larger than he is.
There are an estimated 400,000 children like Jean with severe malnutrition in the central Kasais region of the Democratic Republic of Congo[1]. Always poor, the region was racked with insecurity from 2016-2017 as a dispute over a local chieftaincy turned into a full-blown rebellion and counter militias formed to join the fighting. At its height, 1.4 million people fled their homes.
Monique, the head nurse at the hospital, tells me about militia and military confrontations in the hospital during that period. The staff and patients all ran to her office and hid, Monique tells me. She remembers the sound of bullets and militia running.
Today Monique is fighting the aftereffects of that conflict. Many families now eat just once a day, or sometimes once every other day, after missing multiple planting seasons while on the run. Last month she lost two children. They came too late, Monique tells me sadly.
For Jean, this is his third time receiving treatment. "He was seven months when it started," his mum, Hélène, explains. "He got a fever, and then he started losing weight. And then the swellings and lesions started too."
Hélène had been bringing Jean to the local health centre in the village where they live, over an hour's drive away, but their stocks of medicines and food necessary to treat severe malnutrition had been intermittent, and sometimes non-existent.
World Vision has been working to cobble together funding from UNICEF, World Food Programme, the Canadian government, and people in Germany and Hong Kong so we can treat moderate and acute malnutrition across Dibaya territory, where the conflict in Kasais first began in 2016. The stocks of plumpy finally arrived in mid-October, and now, Monique says, she feels confident she'll be able to successfully treat any children who arrive at her hospital.
Hélène finally brought Jean to the hospital when the swellings started for the third time. Every time he left the health centre before, the symptoms would start again. This time, the medical team are determined he'll be fully better before they send him home.
Unfortunately, that isn't quite yet. He was given Vermax, an anti-parasite medication, as part of the treatment on Wednesday, and he's been sick since. Today, he managed to get about halfway through the packet of plumpy before his tummy rebelled and he was ill. Hélène wipes him off and whisks him back to the ward, where despite the 30 degree heat she wraps him in a wool blanket and he sits, forlorn, in the centre of the bed.
It's a long journey nursing Jean and the thousands of other children in this region back to health. But working with Monique, the other health staff in the territory, and all of our partners, we're determined to nurse as many of the 800,000 back to health as possible.
At World Vision, we envision a world where every child has the opportunity for life in all its fullness. Good nutrition is an essential foundation for health and development, yet malnutrition continues to be the world's most serious health problem and the single-biggest contributor to child mortality worldwide. In the Kasais, World Vision is working to treat acute malnutrition for Jean and other children, and also work with communities and parents to make sure no other child becomes malnourished in the future. World Vision has been working in Jean's community since the end of 2017, delivering food supplies to help returning families get back on their feet and providing psychosocial support to children in addition to education, cash assistance and WASH projects.

Any get together planned either Thanksgiving week or the weeks before and after Christmas in Southern California? Palm Springs / San Diego / LA ?
Re: Southern California Holiday Gathering?
Unfortunately nothing on the charts in San Diego.
Would love to attend when you guys meed up.
Anything planned in March 2018 near the Classic Centre in California ?
I will be visiting my best friend only a 2 hour drive north/east from there.
The 190 SL group is planning their Wintertech event at the Classic Center on the weekend of 9-11 Feb. I have signed up to attend. I want to see first hand how they do this.
I'd be interested in a get together if it's not too far from LA. The Mercedes center would be great.

How Can We End Plastic Pollution?
Plastic pollution may be a relatively new term, but it's one that's been around for a long time. Plastic is made from petroleum products, and when that plastic is thrown away, it breaks down into smaller and smaller pieces that are so small they can't be detected with the naked eye. This tiny plastic debris makes its way into the ocean and is truly becoming a global problem. With consumers throwing away so much plastic, what can we do to stop the pollution? There are some simple things we can do.
Plastic pollution is a growing problem for our planet. In 2016, scientists estimated between 8.3 and 11.8 trillion pieces of plastic litter our beaches, forests, waterways, and oceans. This amount of waste equates to about 1,000 pieces for every man, woman, and child on Earth. Additionally, about 90 percent of marine turtles have ingested plastic. Plastic pollution is also present in our food, particularly the fish we eat. Researchers estimate that around 10 percent of the fish sold in the European Union contains microplastics. Even bottled water, which is supposed to be clean and safe to drink, has been found to contain microplastics.
Plastic pollution in the oceans is a big problem. The polymers that make up plastics are made from oil and natural gas, both non-renewable resources. Not only is this bad for the environment, but it's also bad for us. Chemicals in plastics leach into our food, water, and air, and we may never fully know what damage they are doing to our health.
Plastic pollution is a huge problem, but it isn't an easy problem to solve. Plastic pollution takes many forms, from microplastics in our water to plastic in our oceans and littering our streets. Plastic is made from petroleum, and petroleum is a finite resource. Plastic recycling, while better than throwing plastic in the trash, is not a perfect solution. Only about 10 percent of plastics are in good enough condition to be recycled, according to Nature. And recycling plastic into something new still uses up scarce petroleum, which may or may not come from non-plastic resources.
Plastic is one of the most popular materials on the planet, but it's made from petroleum, non-renewable resources. The plastic industry uses petroleum to make plastic, and the industry uses plastic to make new products. This means a single plastic water bottle can take decades to degrade, and many plastic bottles end up in landfills.
Perhaps you have heard the statistic that 1 million metric tons of plastic end up in our oceans every year. This statistic is shocking and all the more reason to combat plastic pollution and prevent much more plastic waste from ending up in the ocean. Since there is so much plastic in the ocean, it's extremely difficult to clean up. As a result, some organizations are putting recycling systems in place that reduce and eventually eliminate plastic waste from existing landfills and landfills-to-be.
Buy second-hand items
Did you know that a whopping 79 percent of plastic is only used once and then discarded?1 That's a lot of unused plastic! Thankfully, there are a growing number of companies, like Bea Johnson's Zero Waste Home, aiming to divert plastics from landfills into reusable products. If you've thought about making a change but don't want to fully commit to an earth-friendly lifestyle, you can simply swap some plastic for reusable alternatives.
Cook instead of getting takeout
One of the biggest ways that people contribute to plastic pollution is by eating out. Often, people choose to eat out because they don't have time for a healthy home-cooked meal or are too tired to cook. But, eating out actually has a very high carbon footprint which pollutes our environment.
Did you know that the average American uses 500 plastic shopping bags each year? It's such a problem that we have national plastic bag bans littered across the country and a growing movement to ban them altogether. But what can you do? Instead of purchasing plastic grocery bags, bring your own reusable bags to the grocery store, or even better, learn how to make plastic-free meals at home. You'd be surprised by how easy it is to cook over takeout, save money and plastic, and (yes) get healthier in the process.

Good Reads: 'The Walking Dead's Gale Anne Hurd
'Big Little Lies' & 'Euphoria' Viewership Hit Series Highs For HBO
Today we are introducing a new feature here called Good Reads, which will present what Hollywood power players are reading now and what is special about the book. We kick off Good Reads with a multi-book reader, Gale Anne Hurd, executive producer of AMC's blockbuster zombie-apocalypse series The Walking Dead, which returns for its fifth season on October 12.
"I'm a huge proponent of people reading actual printed books," says the veteran producer, who admits she does most of her reading on planes or just before going to sleep. "I know they're heavy, I know it's a pain in the butt, especially when you're reading more than one, but I'm old-fashioned. I still read the newspaper too, and I read it and get black ink all over my fingers. But I just love books. I have probably five or six thousand."
'The Walking Dead' Review: Dominic Patten On The Ratings Monster's Return
If you're surprised Hurd didn't slip in a plug for The Walking Dead by talking about reading the comics co-created by her fellow EP Robert Kirkman on which the series is based — well, "I'm completely caught up on those," she says.
Here's what Hurd is reading right now
The Interestings by Meg Wolitzer (Riverhead Trade)
"This novel came out last year, I picked it up at the airport in a bookstore. It's a very interesting story that goes back and forth between teenagers who meet at this arts camp. It looks at how their lives develop as they become young adults into their 20s and 30s. I think it's fascinating, especially since my one experience in camp was awful. This is an experience that people attending camp had where it was life changing in a good way. Mine was, 'Get me out of here — I never want to come back.'"
The Ocean At The End Of The Lane by Neil Gaiman (William Morrow)
"I'm a huge fan of Neil's and know him. I love everything that he does, including this latest novel of his, which I just started on."
The Way Of The Knife: The CIA, A Secret Army, And A War At The End Of The Earth by Mark Mazzetti (Penguin Books)
"One reason I've been reading The Way Of The Knife, which I am probably halfway through, is for another TV project of mine. Hunters, a new project that I'm doing, is an adaptation of Whitley Strieber's novel Alien Hunter with Natalie Chaidez as the showrunner. That book deals with a clandestine organization that's essentially tracking aliens who are operating as terrorists. So I'm trying to get some background on what would really be done should something like this happen. So that's where I came to The Way of the Knife, which is about tracking real terrorists. Plus, I tend to be fascinated by the U.S. intelligence agencies."

Q: How to have different icons for different Grafana alerting states in Slack? I have configured Grafana to use Slack as the alert channel, and the alerts are correctly coming, except that all states have the same icon. I want Alerting, NoData and OK to have different icons and be more distinctive. Is this configurable?
The config in Grafana > Notifications settings > Optional Slack settings is not sufficient, as it's changing an icon globally, ie. for all states and all alerts in a Slack channel.

The Treaty of San Stefano was a peace treaty between Russia and the Ottoman Empire, at the conclusion of the last of the Russo-Turkish Wars; it was signed at San Stefano, a village W of Istanbul, Turkey. The Ottomans ceded to Russia parts of Armenia and the Dobruja; agreed to pay a very large indemnity; recognized the independence of Romania, Serbia and Montenegro; and increased the territories of Serbia and Montenegro. Bulgaria was made an autonomous principality and was immensely enlarged, and the Ottoman Empire promised reforms for Bosnia and Herzegovina.

His father went mad when he was four. He suffered a mental breakdown when he was eighteen. He lived with his overprotective mother until he was thirty. He loathed seafood, loved coffee and hated immigrants. Indeed he despised anyone who wasn't an 18th century English Gentleman. But he hated himself most of all. Lovecraft's losses were fortunately our gains as his enigmatic, tortured mind gave birth to a body of work we now consider as the foundations of the modern horror genre.

Our Shake To Randomize tour of Epcot's World Showcase keeps chugging along! We've already "shook" Morocco, Norway, and Japan…and today we will continue with one of my least favorite pavilions, Italy.
I shook my camera, and ended up with a pretty blah filter combo, which is pretty fitting I guess. I do like the slight vignette around the edges, but HATE thick borders, as they tend to take away from the focus of the photo.
There is also a subtle grainy wash in these, most evident in the last photo. These textures can be very hit or miss…but do tend to work well in outdoor non portrait shots.
The first two photos are great examples of the smaller details that I love. There ARE charming parts of the pavilion that I love. I literally can't walk past without taking a portrait with the donkey cart.
But when you try an capture the over the top nature of Italy the photos fall flat. Because the central plaza is so vast, its also pretty hard to get a shot without a million people milling about.
You see? Its just NOT A VERY PRETTY SUBJECT MATTER! Sorry. I know there are people out there that love this pavilion…but seriously. Not pretty.
Are you enjoying our shake to randomize tour of World Showcase? Let us know over on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram!
