Live Performances Review
Espoo Festival
Heikki Saluso
At the end of April this year April Jazz celebrated its 20th anniversary in my hometown of Espoo, Finland (www.apriljazz.fi). One of the top performers at the festival was a frequent visitor to our shores, the ever-friendly Mr. Mighty Sam McClain, who again came up with a great and energetic performance. Should he come to your neighborhood, don't miss the opportunity to witness a great show. I reviewed Sam's latest CD, Betcha Didn't Know (on Mighty Music 102), last year and found it more varied than its predecessors. Produced and arranged by Sam and Pat Herlehy and featuring accustomedly real live instruments with a strong horn section, there are four tight funky chuggers this time and three songs from the past (What You Want Me To Do, Things Ain't What They Used To Be and Hold On To Your Dreams), which have been rearranged. Sam also introduces some jazz elements and even rap, by Jesse "Apesh" Lannoo, but my personal favourite is a ballad, a pretty love song titled Just Wanna Be. Sam is still looking for a nationwide and worldwide outlet for his record.
Sam: "I recorded that CD in 2004, in September-October, just before I went to Russia and Turkey. I've been sitting on it. That's why it's not released yet. I've been shopping this record around trying to get a bigger and better deal, trying to find somebody to really push it and promote it. I can't do it. I don't have the money. I went in and recorded it. I spent something like 35,000 dollars. I have invested in this CD already. I had 3,000 copies printed up."
The word about the quality of the CD gets around, and Sam has been contacted a few times already with the latest call coming from Nashville. "I'll be meeting with the Sony people in Nashville. The people, who are putting some money in it, are going to have something to say about the content of the CD, of course. And I'm going to let them say what they have to say, because they are putting some money behind me. They told me they love it. It fits right into what they're doing. Sony is creating another small label."
(One month later, at the end of May, Sam already had some good news to tell. "Our visit to Nashville was fantastic! I will be signing a recording contract and a publishing contract for my catalogue of songs. The label is A&R, Inc.").
In the past Sam was known to deliver also some touching country & soul songs - which seem to return to favor these days – and they are still an option in his repertoire, but today his artistic goals are not necessarily only in that direction. "As an artist I grow, and I've grown some. My music has grown some. People, who are my fans, either have to grow with me, or they have to get off the train. I've noticed that artists, who had a whole bunch of fans with them, when they decided to do something a little different, a lot of the fans fell off the wagon. They didn't want to see him change. I'm not that way. I change. If my fans can't change with me, God bless them – I see them in the next life."
Sam is positive about the future of the music he does. "Soul is on its way back. That's what I've been fighting for, because I've always fought against people trying to make me a blues singer, because I'm not a blues singer. I sing blues, but I'm more or less a soul singer."
"In today's rhythm & blues I hear some stuff I like. In hip-hop I hear a lot of positive stuff, but there's also a lot of negative stuff. It'll be always like that. Every generation brings on a new thing. We better get used to accepting that. I know some negative people, who are everyday working people. They beat their wife, they are mean to their kids, they call women whores and bitches; hip-hop is just expressing the way it is. In hip-hop they share what they know, what they hear, what they see in the neighborhood. That's all they know, until they get shown something else. Some of it is good, some of it is bad."
"As I said, soul is coming back a little. The world keeps going around in circles. That's why I'm not too concerned, not too worried, because I know my time is coming. God has not given me this voice for nothing. Now I can sing anything I want. I can sing country, gospel, hip-hop, blues – anything I choose to sing. I didn't give me this voice, so my voice is dedicated to God, first and foremost." (Our in-depth Mighty Sam story appeared in the # 3/98 printed issue of Soul Express.
R&Believers
BY TED DROZDOWSKI
" One of the thrills of my life was singing with Bobby Bland three years ago, " says Mighty Sam McClain. " I've always admired the man. I patterned my singing on him — getting the big voice to come up from way down in the belly. To have him acknowledge me by asking me to join him on stage was such an honor. I thank God for that. "
McClain treasures his photos of that August day when Bland, who was already a major hitmaker in the '60s when McClain was just beginning his career, invited him to the stage at the Portsmouth Blues Festival. Their duets under the summer sun were nothing less than an epic event — a pairing of two of the finest traditional soul and blues singers alive.
But, hey, even respect and admiration have their limits. Since McClain released his latest CD, One More Bridge To Cross, on his own Mighty Music label a month ago, his album has been running neck and neck with Bland's new Blues at Midnight (Malaco). " I'll see a radio station's chart and one week he's #1, " says McClain. " The next week it's me. Then he's got it again — and then it's me. In the Living Blues charts, we're battling for position and I've got #5. This has happened before when we've both put out albums, and I've always said, 'Let Bobby get it. He's been at this a lot longer than I have. He inspired me; he deserves it; give it to Bobby.' But not this time. This time I want to beat his ass! "
And McClain, a Louisiana-born singer blessed with the kind of rich-toned, towering voice and chops that once-great American independent record labels like Stax and Atlantic were built upon, may succeed. After all, he's worked his own ass off since the late '80s rebuilding a career that crumbled the first time around. He entered the national music scene in 1966 with a cover of Patsy Cline's " Sweet Dreams " that scored on the R&B charts and took him to Harlem's famed Apollo Theater. Then he spent two decades coming to grips with his life and his art, battling alcohol, homelessness, and failed relationships before at last finding himself. Beginning with 1993's Give It Up to Love,
McClain has released a series of first-rate albums that have won him a strong international fan base and enabled him to put a series of unhappy dealings with record labels behind him by taking matters into his own hands.
" On the previous albums, I had two days to record the whole thing, " he explains. " There were no overdubs. It was all live. If something wasn't quite right, I was told there wasn't enough money to go back and fix it. Then the labels would hardly buy any ads, and they'd just mail the CDs out and not be promoting them. For One More Bridge To Cross, I spent 10 or 12 days in the studio over two months and got everything to sound the way I wanted it to. "
And that's damn good. McClain's vocal performances are gripping as ever, whether he's essaying the pure gospel number " Open Up Heaven's Door " or laying down raw phrases on a funky shuffle like " If It Wasn't for the Blues. " Preparing for the album also involved some house cleaning, but his new horn section is as tight and sharp as the players one hears on Al Green's classic Hi Records sessions. Guitarist Chris Tofield also does a stellar job, with a sharp, flexible tone that ranges from traditional weeping blues lines to the Santana-like phrases of " What's Your Name. "
McClain brought in a female backing vocalist, Conchetta Prio, for the first time, and the Boston-based veteran of commercial sessions gives him perfect support. Thanks to skillful overdubbing and her grasp of harmony singing, she's a one-woman choir of angels on the sacred numbers that have increasingly become a part of McClain's calling as a songwriter, and an earthy female yin to the yang of his masculine presence on the secular tunes.
Now based in Epping, New Hampshire, the 60-year-old belter is pleased that One More Bridge To Cross is getting the kind of marketing campaign he's always wanted for his albums. Of course, he and his wife, Sandra, are responsible for it, supervising their small team and doing much of the work themselves, from mailings to radio to follow-up calls to bookings. McClain can afford to do this thanks largely to the success of " New Man in Town, " which found a home on Ally McBeal and has since been licensed to a number of corporate clients, including a European bank, for ads.
Reflecting on his career, he says, " It's been a lot of work and a lot of bullshit and a lot of hard times and some good times, but it's all been worth it to get to this point. At 13 years old, I left home with nothing but my own hurt and my pride, and now I'm in charge of my music and my business and my life and I have a wonderful woman to share it with and a lot of great people helping me. I thank God for all this every day."
Toronto Star Review
GREG QUILL
ENTERTAINMENT COLUMNIST
If you can imagine actor James Earl Jones cast as a benign Baptist pastor negotiating a jagged song line between prayer and profanity, between the glory of spiritual salvation and the seductive delights of carnal love, you'll have some idea of the effect 60-year-old Louisiana gospel soul veteran Mighty Sam McClain created Sunday night at his debut Toronto appearance on the Toronto Downtown Jazz Festival's main stage in Nathan Phillips Square. Dressed in a full length white mourning coat, white, high-collared shirt and waistcoat, magnificently bald and menacingly tall, McClain held court for a solid 90 minutes, serving up a mixed bag of testifying sermons, songs of praise and gratitude, blues-tinged gospel refrains, soulful ballads about love aroused and love thwarted, and even some rock-hard funk. It was a riveting performance by a master at the very top of his game. He was backed admirably by a tight and flexible seven-piece band (three horns, guitar, bass, drums and keyboards � all white guys dressed in black) that stylishly worked into the set every subtle nuance and inflection in the soul survivor's groove book from A-Z, ranging in intensity from a sexy whisper to a mighty roar. If Toronto's not all that familiar with McClain � the 483 tickets bought for this performance left the big tent more than half-empty � this veteran's rich voice and powerful presence moved the crowd like an elemental force. From the Big Joe Williams-inspired rocker "If It Wasn't 4 Da Blues" and the defiant tone in the soul hymn "New Man In Town," to the plaintive sob that made the funereal hurtin' ballad "Why Do We Have To Say Goodbye?" so memorable � Al Green might have taken lessons from this man � and the tough, guttural baritone that powered the finale, an extended soul version of the Doobie Brothers' 1973 hit "Long Train Runnin," McClain moved through half a dozen genres with ease and confidence, and around the stage as if it were a confining cage whose boundaries he might easily have broken. In fact, it was his earnest commitment to the central idea and character in every song that carried the show forward, and dispelled any lingering ghost of the promising Sam McClain of the soul-addled 1960s who, after an unhappy childhood at the hands of a destructive stepfather, faded into drunkenness, drug addiction and the streets of Pensacola, Fla. for most of the 1970s and '80s. Lost now in the wonder of a life reclaimed, happy in a long marriage and "a small home in New Hampshire," McClain is able to sing out his gratitude and testify to the strength of his religious faith in every song. He's a wonder to behold, a living archive of southern soul music and all its folk, blues, church and dance-hall strains, and a singer possessed of one mighty set of pipes.


IDENTITY; It would seem I'm always spelunking into this in one way or another, but this specific case of identity investigation would be specifically around how it DOES or DOES NOT RELATE TO OTHERS. I have noticed about myself (and in my research have found) that maybe because of my Borderline Personality Disorder, I have based a lot of my identity around those I am in close proximity to. My personal questions to myself are simple; Who am I if I am not in direct reaction to/chameleoning with someone else? What would I wear? How would I speak? What would I do in my free time? This is also very related to the social media experiment- I see how validation through curated representation can be a drug.
MMIW (Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women); This isn't a new subject or awareness, but I am consistently struggling through the psychological/emotional reactions to the fact that Indigenous women go murdered and missing more than any other race in North America. I recently watched a section of the Disney animation of "Pocahontas" with my daughter. I didn't want her to watch it because I didn't want her new mind to be stamped with the objectified images of INDIGENOUS, WOMAN, PRETTY, DESIRABLE, etc… but I couldn't look away as I realized with horror- I wondered, if someone did the research, if the percentage of MMIW rose after the making of a movie that objectified and sexualized indigenous women? If you have done any research here, lmk.
REACTION vs. AGENCY around the TRADITIONAL FAMILY UNIT; As I have the opportunity to share my love and connect my small family unit with another small family unit, I am struggling with all the judgments I carry in reaction to the idea of a "perfect nuclear family." I see how patriarchal and toxic the idea can be when women are subjugated into a preconceived gender role, but I also see how Western concepts have disrupted what was once harmonious Indigenous ways of connection, dedication, and respect. While trying to remain as self-conscious as I can, I am struggling to understand how to approach this opportunity while maintaining the consciousness of the work that must be done on both ends. I often straddle the line, internally and culturally, between liberal views and conservative viewpoints (not in reference to American political stances), I think mostly because of my spiritual upbringing and the respect I carry for the preservation of Indigenous cultures, and the conservative stance one must hold to protect that sacred knowledge.
I look forward to seeing what changes around these subjects as time passes. I hope that some of the questions that I pose for myself initiate reflection and rumination to those who read this. For Serio.


Undavalli Aruna Kumar in Encounter With Murali Krishna..
Undavalli Aruna Kumar is the former MP of Andhra Pradesh and he is away from active politics. He plays a passive role in the politics and time to time, he has been raising several issues in the interest of the state. In an interview with a programme of 'Encounter With Murali Krishna', the senior politician has revealed the purpose of conducting a round table conference recently. He has ruled out saying that the meeting has anything to do a favour to any political party. Former Rajahmundry MP said he has suggested the political leaders to question the center asking their hatred stand towards the state without fulfilling the promise of state bifurcation act.

On the Floressas highland, Since 1881, the Laur family has been inspired by the constant ambition to produce great wine for six generations . Today, three generations work together on the field. The old people pass on their traditional skills, the Younger constantly improve the vines and the brewing process. Laur vineyard is a beautiful area of 40 hectares located on the hills of Floressas, it's one of the best vineyards in Cahors appellation. The vineyard has excellent soil constituted by the complex ferruginous clay-limestone, and the ideal exhibition to the sunshine.
Arriving at best maturity, the grapes are carefully picked and put into tanks quickly in order to preserve maximum aroma and ensure perfect condition. Traditional vinification with temperature control is applied for fermentation maceration, pre cold maceration and hot at the end of fermentation. Each parcel and each grape variety is vinified separately, then assembled to create the most harmonious and most elegant wine. Then the wine is kept in the French-made oak barrels, A variety of soil's fragrance combine with the perfume released by the fine particle of the barrels, to get the harmonious and complex taste of grilled bread, chocolate, vanilla, cinnamon, and a lot of other flavors.
delicate grapes, strong tannins, fertile and varied Land encourage Laur family to create the different flavor of the wine, each wine has its own personality, each wine expresses different soil characteristics.
in LAUR, we don't speak of the harvest, we say "picking grapes." The soul of the grapes rest in Chateau LAUR bottles ..."

PostgreSQL 9.0.10 Documentation

5.8. Inheritance

   PostgreSQL implements table inheritance,
   which can be a useful tool for database designers.  (SQL:1999 and
   later define a type inheritance feature, which differs in many
   respects from the features described here.)

   Let's start with an example: suppose we are trying to build a data
   model for cities.  Each state has many cities, but only one
   capital. We want to be able to quickly retrieve the capital city
   for any particular state. This can be done by creating two tables,
   one for state capitals and one for cities that are not
   capitals. However, what happens when we want to ask for data about
   a city, regardless of whether it is a capital or not? The
   inheritance feature can help to resolve this problem. We define the
   <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>capitals</TT
> table so that it inherits from
   <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
>:

CREATE TABLE cities (
    name            text,
    population      float,
    altitude        int     -- in feet
);

CREATE TABLE capitals (
    state           char(2)
) INHERITS (cities);

   In this case, the <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>capitals</TT
> table inherits
   all the columns of its parent table, <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
>. State
   capitals also have an extra column, <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
>state</TT
>, that shows
   their state.

   In PostgreSQL, a table can inherit from
   zero or more other tables, and a query can reference either all
   rows of a table or all rows of a table plus all of its descendant tables.
   The latter behavior is the default.
   For example, the following query finds the names of all cities,
   including state capitals, that are located at an altitude over
   500 feet:

SELECT name, altitude
    FROM cities
    WHERE altitude > 500;

   Given the sample data from the PostgreSQL
   tutorial (see Section 2.1), this returns:

   name    | altitude
-----------+----------
 Las Vegas |     2174
 Mariposa  |     1953
 Madison   |      845

   On the other hand, the following query finds all the cities that
   are not state capitals and are situated at an altitude over 500 feet:

SELECT name, altitude
    FROM ONLY cities
    WHERE altitude > 500;

   name    | altitude
-----------+----------
 Las Vegas |     2174
 Mariposa  |     1953

   Here the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ONLY</TT
> keyword indicates that the query
   should apply only to <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
>, and not any tables
   below <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
> in the inheritance hierarchy.  Many
   of the commands that we have already discussed —
   <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>SELECT</TT
>, <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>UPDATE</TT
> and
   <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>DELETE</TT
> — support the
   <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ONLY</TT
> keyword.

   You can also write the table name with a trailing <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>*</TT
>
   to explicitly specify that descendant tables are included:

SELECT name, altitude
    FROM cities*
    WHERE altitude > 500;

   Writing <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>*</TT
> is not necessary, since this behavior is
   the default (unless you have changed the setting of the
   sql_inheritance configuration option).
   However writing <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>*</TT
> might be useful to emphasize that
   additional tables will be searched.

   In some cases you might wish to know which table a particular row
   originated from. There is a system column called
   <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
>tableoid</TT
> in each table which can tell you the
   originating table:

SELECT c.tableoid, c.name, c.altitude
FROM cities c
WHERE c.altitude > 500;

   which returns:

 tableoid |   name    | altitude
----------+-----------+----------
   139793 | Las Vegas |     2174
   139793 | Mariposa  |     1953
   139798 | Madison   |      845

   (If you try to reproduce this example, you will probably get
   different numeric OIDs.)  By doing a join with
   <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>pg_class</TT
> you can see the actual table names:

SELECT p.relname, c.name, c.altitude
FROM cities c, pg_class p
WHERE c.altitude > 500 AND c.tableoid = p.oid;

   which returns:

 relname  |   name    | altitude
----------+-----------+----------
 cities   | Las Vegas |     2174
 cities   | Mariposa  |     1953
 capitals | Madison   |      845

   Inheritance does not automatically propagate data from
   <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>INSERT</TT
> or <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>COPY</TT
> commands to
   other tables in the inheritance hierarchy. In our example, the
   following <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>INSERT</TT
> statement will fail:

INSERT INTO cities (name, population, altitude, state)
VALUES ('New York', NULL, NULL, 'NY');

   We might hope that the data would somehow be routed to the
   <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>capitals</TT
> table, but this does not happen:
   <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>INSERT</TT
> always inserts into exactly the table
   specified.  In some cases it is possible to redirect the insertion
   using a rule (see Chapter 37).  However that does not
   help for the above case because the <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
> table
   does not contain the column <TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
>state</TT
>, and so the
   command will be rejected before the rule can be applied.

   All check constraints and not-null constraints on a parent table are
   automatically inherited by its children.  Other types of constraints
   (unique, primary key, and foreign key constraints) are not inherited.

   A table can inherit from more than one parent table, in which case it has
   the union of the columns defined by the parent tables.  Any columns
   declared in the child table's definition are added to these.  If the
   same column name appears in multiple parent tables, or in both a parent
   table and the child's definition, then these columns are "merged"
   so that there is only one such column in the child table.  To be merged,
   columns must have the same data types, else an error is raised.  The
   merged column will have copies of all the check constraints coming from
   any one of the column definitions it came from, and will be marked not-null
   if any of them are.

   Table inheritance is typically established when the child table is
   created, using the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>INHERITS</TT
> clause of the
   CREATE TABLE
   statement.
   Alternatively, a table which is already defined in a compatible way can
   have a new parent relationship added, using the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>INHERIT</TT
>
   variant of ALTER TABLE.
   To do this the new child table must already include columns with
   the same names and types as the columns of the parent. It must also include
   check constraints with the same names and check expressions as those of the
   parent. Similarly an inheritance link can be removed from a child using the
   <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>NO INHERIT</TT
> variant of <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ALTER TABLE</TT
>.
   Dynamically adding and removing inheritance links like this can be useful
   when the inheritance relationship is being used for table
   partitioning (see Section 5.9).

   One convenient way to create a compatible table that will later be made
   a new child is to use the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>LIKE</TT
> clause in <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE
   TABLE</TT
>. This creates a new table with the same columns as
   the source table. If there are any <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CHECK</TT
>
   constraints defined on the source table, the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>INCLUDING
   CONSTRAINTS</TT
> option to <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>LIKE</TT
> should be
   specified, as the new child must have constraints matching the parent
   to be considered compatible.

   A parent table cannot be dropped while any of its children remain. Neither
   can columns or check constraints of child tables be dropped or altered
   if they are inherited
   from any parent tables. If you wish to remove a table and all of its
   descendants, one easy way is to drop the parent table with the
   <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CASCADE</TT
> option.

   ALTER TABLE will
   propagate any changes in column data definitions and check
   constraints down the inheritance hierarchy.  Again, dropping
   columns that are depended on by other tables is only possible when using
   the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>CASCADE</TT
> option. <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>ALTER
   TABLE</TT
> follows the same rules for duplicate column merging
   and rejection that apply during <TT
CLASS="COMMAND"
>CREATE TABLE</TT
>.

   Note how table access permissions are handled.  Querying a parent
   table can automatically access data in child tables without further
   access privilege checking.  This preserves the appearance that the
   data is (also) in the parent table.  Accessing the child tables
   directly is, however, not automatically allowed and would require
   further privileges to be granted.

5.8.1. Caveats

   Note that not all SQL commands are able to work on
   inheritance hierarchies.  Commands that are used for data querying,
   data modification, or schema modification
   (e.g., <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>SELECT</TT
>, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>UPDATE</TT
>, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>DELETE</TT
>,
   most variants of <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ALTER TABLE</TT
>, but
   not <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>INSERT</TT
> or <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ALTER TABLE ...
   RENAME</TT
>) typically default to including child tables and
   support the <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>ONLY</TT
> notation to exclude them.
   Commands that do database maintenance and tuning
   (e.g., <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>REINDEX</TT
>, <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>VACUUM</TT
>)
   typically only work on individual, physical tables and do not
   support recursing over inheritance hierarchies.  The respective
   behavior of each individual command is documented in its reference
   page (Reference I, SQL Commands).

   A serious limitation of the inheritance feature is that indexes (including
   unique constraints) and foreign key constraints only apply to single
   tables, not to their inheritance children. This is true on both the
   referencing and referenced sides of a foreign key constraint. Thus,
   in the terms of the above example:

      If we declared <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
>.<TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
>name</TT
> to be
      <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>UNIQUE</TT
> or a <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>PRIMARY KEY</TT
>, this would not stop the
      <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>capitals</TT
> table from having rows with names duplicating
      rows in <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
>.  And those duplicate rows would by
      default show up in queries from <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
>.  In fact, by
      default <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>capitals</TT
> would have no unique constraint at all,
      and so could contain multiple rows with the same name.
      You could add a unique constraint to <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>capitals</TT
>, but this
      would not prevent duplication compared to <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
>.

      Similarly, if we were to specify that
      <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>cities</TT
>.<TT
CLASS="STRUCTFIELD"
>name</TT
> <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>REFERENCES</TT
> some
      other table, this constraint would not automatically propagate to
      <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>capitals</TT
>.  In this case you could work around it by
      manually adding the same <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>REFERENCES</TT
> constraint to
      <TT
CLASS="STRUCTNAME"
>capitals</TT
>.

      Specifying that another table's column <TT
CLASS="LITERAL"
>REFERENCES
      cities(name)</TT
> would allow the other table to contain city names, but
      not capital names.  There is no good workaround for this case.

   These deficiencies will probably be fixed in some future release,
   but in the meantime considerable care is needed in deciding whether
   inheritance is useful for your application.

Confessions of a former strip club manager
Illustration by Gabriel Ivan Orendain-Necochea / Senior Illustrator
Luis Rivas
When I tell people that I worked at a strip club, the response is usually predictable and uniformed: "How cool, how awesome, how great it must have been working there, seeing tits and asses all day long."
They're anxious to hear about the details of naked women, happily prancing around, men throwing bills at their sexy, gyrating, sweaty and glistening bodies. There is a look of stark confusion on the faces of people when I tell them that my nearly decade-long stay in the adult retail and strip club industry were some of the darkest, saddest moments of my life.
Now, I'm not going to lie. When I first got hired as a sales clerk at a local scuzzy porn shop in the San Fernando Valley, I was excited. I was going to be surrounded by porn, sex toys and all the kinky elements that are associated with adult retail stores. But little by little, just a few months into working there I witnessed the high-level of drug-use amongst the clientele, the demeaning nature in which management and the ownership treated all the workers—many of which were African-American and Latino, some with questionable residency.
A job, as is now, was hard to come by back then. I had just quit my FedEx job. I was doing poorly at Los Angeles Valley College, so I needed this job, however strange, however wrong. And for whatever reason, I excelled at it. I was promoted to assistant manager and then eventually manager at that location and other stores throughout Los Angeles and even in Oregon. My upward progression eventually landed me the opportunity to manage a strip club in the San Fernando Valley.
The place wasn't your typical strip club. The front of the club was an actual adult store with toys, oils, lingerie and DVDs. In the dimly-lit back was where the actual club was. There was a marble-and-mirror stage which featured topless and bikini dancers and curtained-off private lap dance areas (also known as VIP Rooms). But in addition to this, there were rooms where dancers would perform full-nude private "peepshows" for customers, separated by one-way mirrors.
Before I started working there, the owners gave me simple advice: treat the women like shit; don't show empathy or compassion; it's a weakness and they will eventually take advantage of you. They took me to another nearby strip club where we met with club owners and managers. I was told to listen and take note of the advice and direction from the managers, which only reinforced notions of domination, sexist male hierarchy.
One of my first tasks as a manager was to get rid of most of the dancers and start anew with "better-looking women" and a contract that would favor a higher percentage to the club. All the dancers in all strip clubs, almost without exception, are technically not employees. They sign contracts with the club as independent contractors.
As independent contractors, dancers are paid cash every day, tax-free. At the end of the year, they're responsible for claiming deductions and paying back-taxes. But as independent contractors, they have no vacation, benefits, bonuses—and little say in anything.
From each lap dance and peepshow, the dancer had to pay a percentage to the club.
Typically, it was anywhere from 20 percent to 50 percent. If that wasn't bad enough, oftentimes during slow days we had more than 10 dancers from the morning or early afternoon till the evening, and only a handful of customers. Competition is a normal characteristic of a strip club, but when there is only four or five customers for hours at a time, dancers are forced to be more bold with their competitiveness. In these scenarios, many women would leave their shift with as little as $20. Sometimes, and I will always remember this, I would be approached by a nearly-naked dancer, eyes spilling over with tears, a strange sad sight, and complain that it wasn't fair or right, for her to show her body off, rub laps, have her breasts groped—all this, all for $20.
But I remembered what the owners had told me. So I said, "Tough shit. If you don't like it, you can find work at another club."
It's with shame that I type this, but it would be worse to pretty up my role in all this.
Sadly, this isn't the worst memory I have from working at the club.
I remember hiring a new dancer. She was a very attractive Spanish-speaking-only Latina. I interviewed her. We discussed the contract, the percentage that she would have to pay toward the club each shift. She seemed unbothered about the high-percentage payable to the club. We made small talk, asked me my ethnicity, where I grew up, she talked about her kid, and then she asked me when and where would be the best spot in the club to perform oral sex on the customers.
I asked her to repeat herself. Maybe I heard incorrectly. She repeated herself and made a hand-and-mouth gesture. I felt great pity for this woman, and then I was angry at myself for being at a higher moral ground to exercise pity.
I wish I could say that this was a one-time occurrence, but sadly it was not. There were different moments that showed the dire economic or emotional state of many dancers. Only the minority of the dancers came from affluent backgrounds. Most were struggling single-mothers, predominantly Latinas and other women of color. Some were college students, stripping at night to pay tuition and bills. Some had alcohol and substance abuse problems. Some were caught having sex with the customers—which of course is illegal, but many strip club employees look the other way for the right price.
I understand my position—my privilege—then and now, as a heterosexual, light-skinned Chicano. I don't pity these women (anymore). I don't belittle them and claim that they're one-dimensional victims. No, if a woman wants to become an adult club dancer, she should have that right. I understand this. But my criticism is on the, at-times, drastic conditions that drive some women to do an otherwise undesirable job.
From my limited experience, most of these women didn't wake up and go, "I can't wait to be a stripper!" It was for a lack of economic resources and opportunities.
After returning to college, I demoted myself at work in order to be part-time. Nearly immediately, I was fired for incorrectly filling out a shift report. A minor offense, but giving up my bloated managerial salary and benefits was an affront to the owners, and could not go unpunished. Nonetheless, I walked away relieved that I would no longer be part of the exploitative and sexist culture of strip clubs.
I walked away radicalized, seeing first-hand how women can be subjugated, how men are trained to treat them, and how divided we are in the workplace hierarchy. It was my first rudimentary feminist analysis.
I think the only way we can really defend strip clubs is if women had more control in the workplace. Get rid of the managers and owners that are conditioned in thinking that they have to psychologically subjugate women. Get rid of the independent contractor statuses. Put in place a workers cooperative where all profit is shared and distributed without having to factor in paying some greedy, slimy, hairy-chested legalized pimp or pimps (that doesn't have to take off a single article of clothing for their paycheck).
This kind of strip club, I would support. Sadly, only one exists. The unionized Lusty Lady in San Francisco is part of Service Employees International Union, Local 1021. It prides itself as "the world's only unionized worker owned peep show co-op," and despite instances of economic hardships, they're still around.
Personally, I don't go to strip clubs anymore. I can't bare the idea of giving my money to a club—let alone any place—that treats its workers like second-class people. This is my choice. I certainly don't advocate that all strip clubs be boycotted, but rather call on men out there to think critically about what they're perpetuating as consumers.

Honda showcases much-anticipated Civic Type R concept
1 person found this useful
Honda showcased the all-new Civic Type R concept at today's Motor Show, in Paris.
The British-built beast is set to be the most extreme yet of the red 'H' badged model.
Its power will come from a turbocharged 2.0-litre i-VTEC engine producing over 276bhp, delivering unmatched performance against any previous Type R, including all generations of the Civic, the iconic performance-oriented versions of the Integra, Accord and even the NSX.
To back up that engine; it will feature a new four-point adaptive damper system, delivering ultimate handling and cornering.
Large project leader for the Civic Type R at Honda R&D, Suehiro Hasshi, said: "Honda has had four Type R model derivatives - the Civic, Integra, Accord and NSX.
"The engine in this new Honda Civic Type R is unrivalled against all of them in terms of raw power, torque and engine response."
The new Type R will mark the debut of the new '+R' button – Hasshi explained: "In default standard mode, the Civic Type R is exceptionally agile, an everyday sports car with an enjoyable and fluid acceleration.
"The '+R' button brings out a more dynamic and athletic car for the driver, sure to set pulses racing. The difference in character is immense. The '+R' mode is extreme; the car is ideal for the track and will be appreciated by the genuine sports-driving enthusiast."
The new Civic Type R is expected to go on sale next year.

VTBIRD November 2014
Coot meets eagle
"[log in to unmask]" <[log in to unmask]>
Sat, 22 Nov 2014 10:47:51 -0500
Birding down at Vernon Dam on the Connecticut River this morning, I noticed what looked like a big black phalarope swimming around in on of the ice-free pools. On putting the scope on it I realized that it was a coot with its neck fully extended upward and swimming in tight circles. Looked very agitated. I realized why when one of the local adult bald eagles rocketed into the field of view, dropped its talons and made a pass at the coot, which immediately dived in a gout of water. The eagle circled back around and begun hovering like some giant kestrel above the spot where the coot dived. After about 20 seconds the coot surfaced and the eagle dived on it. The coot then dived again to evade a surprise demise and the eagle began its hovering again. This happened about 4 times over the course of a couple of minutes. At no time was the coot able to spend any more than a second or so on the surface and, my guess, was unable to replenish its oxygen supply. Eventually, the coot was barely able to get under the surface at which time the eagle splashed down into the water where the coot had dived. The eagle lay on the water surface with its wings outstretched for buoyancy for about 30 seconds then took off, at which time I saw that it was holding in its talons the struggling coot. The eagle carried the coot (which was stretching its neck out and peering around and kicking its legs) to a half-submerged log where the eagle began to eat its prey alive. Nature red in tooth and claw?

When I worked at Sherwin Williams, they had a policy: Any time a key holder left a store, you immediately changed the locks, even if the person was still working for the company. This may seem to be over-cautious, but it actually protected the company and the employee. In IT, I have continued to use the analogy of "change the locks" in many scenarios.


STUDIO CITY — A tree trimming operation resulted in downed power lines Tuesday in the Studio City area, interrupting some electrical service but resulting in no injuries, authorities said.
Firefighters were sent to the 11400 block of Moorpark Street about 9:50 a.m. on a report of a possible explosion and smoke being seen from a manhole cover, according to the Los Angeles Fire Department.
However, that manhole cover and the surrounding concrete appeared to have been substantially dislodged from the roadway, as seen in pictures from the scene.
Some electrical service was interrupted in the area, and the Los Angeles Department of Water and Power was notified.

As Prime Day Draws Near, Many Amazon Employees Plan to Go on Strike

As Prime Day approaches, many employees at the Shakopee, Minnesota fulfillment center plan to go on strike over what they call unfair working conditions.
An Amazon fulfillment center in Shakopee, Minnesota will soon find itself in hot water as a number of employees just announced plans to stop working for six hours on July 15, "the first day of the company's 48-hour Prime Day sales event." According to the workers, while Amazon has busied itself with promoting faster delivery times to lure new customers, many employed to work in the fulfillment center are struggling to keep up with the new, faster pace. They hope that by going on strike, they'll draw attention to a variety of issues, including what they're calling unreasonable expectations.

Among the worker's complaints include allegations that the company doesn't convert enough temporary workers to full-time Amazon employees. As temporary workers, many aren't granted the same benefits that full-time employees have. However, they're expected to work the same, or more, hours. Additionally, the worker's plan to sound the alarm on their strict productivity quotas and claim the current quota system makes their jobs "unsafe and unreliable."
At the moment, a number of employees at the Shakopee fulfillment center are planning "to strike for about three hours at the end of the day shift and for about three hours at the beginning of the night shift." Many Amazon engineers are also expected to fly to Minnesota to partake in the strike. When commenting on the matter, one Amazon software engineer from Seattle said, "We're fighting for a livable future."
Employee criticism of the company isn't new, though. In fact, this isn't even the first time Amazon has experienced a worker strike. Just last year, a number of European Amazon workers went on strike during Prime Day, "demanding better working conditions." They also highlighted important issues such as the "elimination of bonuses, the lack of health benefits, and the increase in working hours."
The criticism here in the states has been widespread as well, even after the company raised its minimum wage. Even with higher wages, many warehouse workers feel as though they're being treated unfairly, especially with Amazon's introduction of free one-day shipping for Prime members. When the speedier shipping option was implemented, Stuart Appelbaum, president of the Retail, Wholesale and Department Store Union, a labor union, expressed his opposition and said that "speeding up deliveries may not be feasible for fulfillment center workers who are already processing several hundred orders per hour during long shifts." He added:
"With two-day Prime shipping, Amazon fulfillment workers currently face speeds of 200-300 orders per hour in 12-hour shifts. They struggle already to maintain that pace. If Amazon plans to effectively double the speed, it must also address existing workforce needs and ensure its workers are safe. Increasing fulfillment speeds means they need to hire more workers, under more sustainable speeds that don't put workers' lives in jeopardy."
Senator Bernie Sanders of Vermont also chimed in and criticized the company's working conditions and compensation. In a statement last August, he said:
"Amazon has been less than forthcoming with information about their employment practices. What we do know is that Amazon's median employee pay is only $28,446 — 9 percent less than the industry average and well below what constitutes a living wage in the United States. Further, we believe that many of Amazon's workers are employed by temporary staffing agencies and contractors and make even less than the median Amazon employee."
So far Amazon has pushed back against the allegations and said it treats its employees fairly and offers "highly competitive wages and a climate-controlled, safe workplace." On top of that, the company said it provides its employees with generous benefits, including health insurance, retirement saving plans, and more.

Sunny South Sounds Good to Vagrant
Clipping cut from the September 19th, 1946 issue of Grosse Pointe News:
A former Pointe youth whose family has moved to Florida, has been released after spending a week in the Grosse Pointe Farms police station. His father arrived to take him to sunnier climes after the case against him was dropped.
The youngster was charged with disorderly conduct after it was discovered he had been using a home economics room in the High School as lodging quarters for a night or two. He also consumed a can of pears, probably for breakfast. The school authorities objected when he took a $12 blanket with him when he left the school one early morning.
The boy was locked up and his father notified. When restitution had been made for the blanket and pears the school authorities dropped charges and father and son departed for Florida.
This is the best thing I've read all year. What ever happened to this youngster? How did sunny Florida treat him? Did the glamorous society scorn him for his vagrancy, or were they sympathetic enough to forgive him his past deeds?
All I know is that no matter how hard this youngster searched, never again did he find such a delectable can of pears.
A TOEst to you… for being you!

In seeking to understand the cosmology of the early Universe, scientists have been able to apply the current laws of physics to the extremely high-energy conditions of the primordial Universe, allowing us to explore the laws of physics at energy scales far greater than what is achievable in man-made particle accelerators. This new application of physics shows the deep connections between the fundamentals of the early Universe and the principles of theoretical particle physics.
KIPAC researchers are heavily focused on understanding the origin of the early Universe, a period in which very different rules of physics were at play in the cosmos than those that govern it now. It is believed that the Universe began with very high energies. To tease apart the forces that touched off the Universe's expansion—some 14 billion years ago—KIPAC scientists are using an array of instruments such as telescopes and satellites to look as far away and as far back in time as possible.
Among the most important observational tools in KIPAC's exploration of the early Universe are instruments that measure irregularities in the cosmic microwave background radiation (CMB), such as the WMAP and Planck satellites. By looking at the distribution of the irregularities in the CMB, for example, KIPAC researchers are attempting to reconstruct the quantum conditions of the early Universe and understand the laws governing its dynamics at the beginning. By looking back, scientists may also deduce the existence of new particles, forces or dimensions in existence during the Universe's first moments and, in turn, gain a more comprehensive understanding of the laws of the present Universe.
