Nonkeen Band Interview: Decades of Friendship & Collaboration, Forged from Vintage Tape Recorders
Posted on Mar 1st, 2016

Nonkeen's Frederic Gmeiner and Nils Frahm grew up in a suburb of Hamburg, the German port city famous for the Beatles' pre-fame residency, nestled up near the North Sea. As they were meeting one another in primary school, their future bandmate, Sebastian Singwald, was growing up on the other side of the Iron Curtain in Berlin. Though the country was still divided when the three met, it wouldn't be for long. Cracks in the Wall had already begun to appear, and reunification came well before their tenth birthdays.
Discovering Everything
After decades of hiatus from the collaborative musical project of their youth, Gmeiner talks about the origin of his practically life-long musical partnership with composer Frahm and Singwald as if it wasn't far out of the ordinary. Perhaps he's partly right.
"We started as many kids in the '80s did, with having our own cassette recorders. Our parents, like many fathers did in the '80s, had hi-fi equipment, but the children, of course, weren't allowed to touch that at all," he explains.
Young Gmeiner was given a simple cassette recorder to keep him away from the more expensive stuff. The same compromise was reached in the Frahm and Singwald households, where the boys independently discovered a fondness for recording anything and everything. They taped music off the radio, and even began to assemble their own productions, which incorporated, among other things, field recordings from their school playground and classrooms.
Singwald came into the picture via a school athletics exchange program in 1989. The three immediately bonded over the tape recorders they carried around everywhere, and remained friends even after Singwald went home. They didn't come up with the name Nonkeen until much later ("earlier we had a different name, or not a name at all"), but a lasting connection had formed early on.
By the mid-'90s, twelve-year-olds Gmeiner and Frahm had already begun playing in bands – and as Nonkeen (or, what they were called before they decided on the name), they would put on shows together, which contained an element of their own "small songs". Open to a wide spectrum of influences, they played "whatever came into our minds", though Gmeiner recalls that it was "mostly cover songs, of course."
"It could be a jazzy thing; it could be a more rock or minimalist thing, or electro, or a little bit more like drum n' bass or trip-hop. Everything we liked or listened to, we tried to play," he says.
When they began to work in the studio, they discovered how to make music with a computer, and were quite inspired at certain times by experimental music like Chick Corea and Soft Machine.
"Our first tryouts were not directly imitating, but a little bit of getting the inspiration from music we liked – trying to re-do it at first, but then continuing and finding our own sound," notes Gmeiner,
and not just being satisfied [to listen to the] recordings and think, 'Oh hey, that sounds like'…'"
Stretching Eternally
Keeping in mind the differences between Germany in the '80s and '90s and life in present-day America (or Germany, for that matter), such precocious musical influences (jazz fusion, progressive rock) and pursuits must have made Gmeiner, Frahm, and Singwald stand out amongst their peers. Though their approach to creating music has surely been shaped by the experiences they have accumulated over the decades, their 2016 full-length, The Gamble, is a bridge between their past and present selves, and the early characteristics that Gmeiner describes are audible among its layers.
The Gamble is unique in both conception and execution. Its rhythms and patterns elude easy classification. Fans of Nils Frahm's solo work might at first hear Nonkeen as a kind of jam band, which in a sense wouldn't be far off. The performances on the album's nine tracks (ten if you get it on vinyl) are the result of the three recording their improvised rehearsals. That is just one dimension of the album, however, and, if there ever was one, The Gamble is a four-dimensional record, as unbound by time as it is by traditional form.
Even after repeated listens, songs never seem to begin or end on . You only realize you've left the high altitude tranquility of "Saddest Continent on Earth" once you're in the harried thrum of "Ceramic People". Each piece envelops the listener and eases them into the next. The way Nonkeen almost invisibly stitch together the muted tribal patter of "Animal Farm" and the wandering keyboard stabs of "This Beautiful Mess" feels like it must be a trick of light and shadow.
Their sound today is a direct result of their initial documentary practices. The tapes on which they built the songs were of former group recordings that date back eight years or more. As young teenagers, they found their voice by recording their rehearsal sessions and listening back to them.
"The moments where it didn't sound so much like anything we already knew, these… were interesting for us somehow; these caught our attention," says Gmeiner, who also notes that the tools they were limited to also factored in. "We were bound to our instruments, which were Fender Rhodes piano, synthesizer for Nils, electric bass for Sebastian, and drums for me, so we had a certain kind of sound already given by these instruments."
Nonkeen began with plenty of time in recording sessions, but Gmeiner states that they became more focused on playing live together. Yet not long after they started playing out, an unfortunate accident at the Plänterwald fairground where they were performing – in which two children, both who survived, were thrown from a carousel onto the stage — led the three to hang up their collaboration at the age of only fifteen.
"The fairground story… that's something for itself somehow. [It] is more like a metaphor, or the prototype accident for all of the accidents we had during our time playing together," says Gmeiner. "For example, Sepp just cut his finger half a year ago, his thumb, with a big saw, and wasn't sure if he could ever play again on stage live… those are the kind of things which happen all the time, but we can luckily overcome them and still play together."
Gmeiner, Frahm, and Singwald were all living in Berlin when they decided to once more make music as a trio. Before that, all had been focused on their own work. Frahm, of course, has concentrated on his extensive solo career. Singwald is by trade an electrical engineer, and also has other musical side projects, including one with Gmeiner. Gmeiner himself matched his fascination in audio equipment with his fascination with video equipment, and co-founded the design studio FELD.
"When I was really young and [people asked,] 'What profession do you want to have later?', I always said 'camera man,'" he recalls.
Meandering Audio-Visual Roads
The nature of man's relationship to machines is part of the theme for "Chasing God Through Palmyra", the music video Nonkeen made with the help of Gmeiner's Berlin design studio, FELD. FELD has worked plenty with the experimental label Erased Tapes, and has also helped build a pipe organ for Frahm, but they infrequently work on music videos. This video takes a fascinating and sometimes dizzying first-person trip along a model train track courtesy of Berlin's Mectub Railway Club.
Gmeiner is quick to point out that no one in the trio has a model train hobby — but "this passion for recreating the reality with so many details on the model scale, often in the basement hidden from the public, was really interesting for us."
Much like their music, Nonkeen didn't have much of a concept in place when they began work on the video; they simply followed their curiosities. and got the contacts of model train builders, who were very keen on collaborating. Slowly, Nonkeen began to understand their work of train enthusiasts and what interests them about it, and were surprised to find that there were some parallels to the way they worked and what Nonkeen value about their music.
Part of the goal with "Chasing God Through Palmyra" was to see if they could make a video in a physical domain, without falling back on CGI, where the viewer sometimes doesn't know if it is real or a model.
"Building a railway is already something artificial, then having everything smaller scale, even, it's kind of double-artificial," Gmeiner says, expanding on the relationship between man and machine. "But, in the same way, it's not; it's just a model in the end."
For Nonkeen's reunion, the three started by getting together sometimes twice a week – and sometimes not for a couple months, depending on whether or not everyone was in town. "It was really about fun," Gmeiner says, "and also finding room."
Thinking about what it was like to get back in a room to play together, Gmeiner notes feeling the same kind of connection they had before. There was a kind of magic about it, and they didn't have to talk that much about the music.
"Of course – now, since we released the album, we have to talk a lot about our music," he laughs, "but that's fun because before we never really had to."
Processing Raw Material
In addition to discussing their music with the outside world for the first time, Nonkeen are also preparing for their first tour, which will take them around Europe. Gmeiner is enjoying it all, but notes, "We really have to see if it will change something with the band or with the process as well, and if we can maintain this spontaneous approach."
As spontaneous as it is in one way, Nonkeen's process is also thorough, multi-layered, and vulnerable to varying conditions. The recordings of their improvised sessions are often subject to the whims of their tape machines, which Gmeiner describes as having "their own little life and character." If a jack isn't plugged in, cables are broken, or the tape speed is set wrong, it can have an effect on the outcome – but not necessarily in a negative way.
"Sometimes someone puts in a tape through the wrong direction, for example, and stuff you wouldn't consider interesting immediately sounds interesting. Or one channel is completely distorted — of the bass, for example — and we can't use it, but maybe without the bass it sounds much better, and we get other ideas how to continue with it," says Gmeiner. "For The Gamble, maybe 1% of the material we recorded during the last eight years was considered a candidate. Two years ago, we had the idea of trying to make an album of that material."
Listening back to their tapes intermittently — as weeks would sometimes pass between band meetings — they would come across material they didn't even remember playing. This meant that parts couldn't be re-recorded to get better takes; they had to be accepted or rejected as they were. At various points in between adding and deleting individual instrument tracks, they would also make mix-downs of what they had for a given song with the intention of making it so that they couldn't go back and undo every step. In this way, they kept themselves from spending too much time behind a computer, distanced from editing and polishing everything to perfection. Gmeiner considers every song on The Gamble (and others they finished that didn't make the cut) to be unique, rather than an extension of some previous version recorded years ago.
"There are some themes that we kept playing over and over," he recalls, "but after a while, we were bored by that, and none of those themes made it to the album."
For Gmeiner, knowing what to play and what to expect makes the trio's music feel stiff and not as lively. The joy comes in not really knowing what the next bar will sound like.
"The good thing for us was that we were always surprising ourselves, and that no one had the feeling that someone was writing the songs, or someone was doing more than the others. I mean, each one of us also has his own professional field where of course he knows a little bit more than the others, and is more skilled," Gmeiner explains. "But, in a way, that was balanced out very nicely, so we never had those typical band moments where someone is writing the songs, and this person often has more influence on the arrangements and decisions and everything."
"I think the reason why we didn't play in so many other bands was exactly that," he continues. "[Nonkeen] was quite democratic in a way, but without discussing that much, so that was quite relieving."
Clement Attlee, who was Prime Minister of the UK in between terms served by Winston Churchill, was once quoted as saying that "Democracy means government by discussion, but it is only effective if you can stop people talking." Depending on how one interprets Attlee, the way Nonkeen operates could be a fine example of that idea in action.
Many bands like to say they are fully equal partnerships, but Nonkeen are a rare example where that is actually the case. This shapes The Gamble's distinct character, its seamless accumulation of years of shared musical ideas, and even more years of shared creative vision.

Imo State Mc comedian Chukwuebuka Kingsley Chidi popularly known as Mc Ckc D Comedian is so far another talent yet untapped. CKC hails from Isiala mbano LGA of Imo state, grew up in Lagos and at a tender age decided to pursue his talent as a comedian and MC.
I've been opportune to listen and watch him perform at so many shows in owerri and I've also been following him on social media for a while too. He is a promising talent that will take this industry to another level with his desire to excel in his field. His passion drive has actually been the key point to note about this younger talent and if given the opportunity, will make the most out of it.
Why He Is Among The "Best" Comedian.
I know that might sound obvious but the hardest part of being a comedian is being able to write jokes, being relatable to people who don't know you and somehow making them laugh. Now, not everyone finds everything funny. But in general, "funny is funny" and people by nature find "funny" very relatable. My point is that the way to get genuine laughs is to think about the real, everyday things that happen in your life that make you laugh and start from there, which this talented comedian has always done during his performances.
Most times when I watch his comedy skits, I get the massage more thrilling and i also look at what he is trying to portray, I see a bigger picture.

Top U.S. publishers sue Amazon's Audible for copyright infringement
12:35 PM EDT
PMN Business
Amazon.com Inc's Audible was sued by some of the top U.S. publishers for copyright infringement on Friday, aiming to block a planned rollout of a feature called 'Audible Captions' that shows the text on screen as a book is narrated.
The lawsuit was filed by seven members of the Association of American Publishers (AAP), including HarperCollins Publishers, Penguin Random House, Hachette Book Group, Simon & Schuster, and Macmillan Publishers.
"Essentially Audible wants to provide the text as well as the sound of books without the authorization of copyright holders, despite only having the right to sell audiobooks," AAP said in a statement.
The lawsuit was filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York.
Audible did not immediately respond to a request for comment. (Reporting by Ayanti Bera in Bengaluru; Editing by Anil D'Silva)

You know what's weird about MarioSilva-Gate?
For starters, we're still not sure who leaked the audio in the first place nor for what purpose, and we've yet to hear a statement from any of the main actors involved.
It's also weird that the endlessly malleable Prosecutor General announced she would look into investigating the whole scandal. Super weird.
But the weirdest part, in my view, is that no one in the Cuban faction of this intrigue has stepped up to make the case for continuing our unusually close alliance with Cuba, or for Cuba period. Nobody.
We've not heard a word from Cilia Flores, nothing from Jorge Arreaza, not even a peep from partisan outfits such as Patria Para Todos or even the Communist Party itself, and certainly nothing from Nicky Ripe.
Is Maduro (sorry, I mean Raúl) going down without a fight?
Following the broadcast of his damning audio, in which Mario Silva exposed all the narco-corrupt shenanigans of non-Marxist, decidedly non-Cuban military businessman Diosdado Cabello (which, by the way, included rumours of a coup plot), Cuban sweetheart Nicolás Maduro embarked on a media frenzy aimed at convincing the world that he is, in fact, Commander in Chief of the National Bolivarian Armed Forces. Hell, he even has a placard to prove it!
He's also gone about his business as acting President, meeting with private-sector reps to deal with food shortages, as well as private media reps to … well, I'm not really sure why he met with them, but that's besides the point.
He met with El Sistema founder José Antonio Abreu to talk about musical programs for the underprivileged. He presided over a graduation of workers, dropping in a line or two about militias. He led the launch of a missile, wearing a cool headset and all (Diosdado was there). He's going to Correa's swearing-in ceremony in Ecuador.
Maduro has definitely intensified his military-related PR agenda, no doubt in order to tacitly reaffirm his leadership over the institution, along with broadcasting his importance over Diosdado. So, as far as MarioSilva-Gate damage control is concerned, the military portion is relatively taken care of, or it would appear to be so.
Notably absent during all of Maduro's public appearances, though, was any reference to MarioSilva-Gate and its implications. I mean, there was supposedly a PLOT to KILL HIM. Chávez looooved to talk about these assassination plans, with much less evidence around to substantiate them.
Maduro does not want to draw attention to any rifts within Chavismo, and he also wants to project a benevolent, non-belligerent foil to his evil archnemesis, Diosdado. That I get.
But it does strike me as strange that not a word has been uttered with regards to Cuba. As in "Cuban doctors are amazing," or "the fascist opposition wants to turn our people away from Cuban support." Hell, even a "Chávez really wanted us to love the Cubans" would've sufficed. Thus far, no justifications, no derisive defenses, no outright denials. Nothing.
Now, its definitely too early to tell, but if this is, in fact, a power struggle between Diosdado & his merry band of narco-enterpreneurs and Maduro & his Cuban mooches, the latter should have a couple of tricks up his sleeve ready to deploy soon enough.
First of all, he should play the Chávez card. As in "Chávez chose ME to lead you and we must respect Chávez's will." Secondly, he could man up as President and lead an all-out assault against government corruption, provided he has the backing to neutralize Diosdado. Thirdly, he should make use of his international networking skills as ex-Secretary of State to rally pro-Chávez governments around his cause.
But I'm left to wonder if the Cuban argument is even a worthy strategy at this point. What is the overall perception of Cuban involvement in Venezuelan government? Do the poor sectors of society support Cuban doctors to such a degree that it would represent a rallying cry around which to band together chavismo? Why has Maduro not yet tapped into this discourse? Is it a hot-button issue? If Venezuelans were faced with the option between a Cubanized government or a Military State, would they choose the latter? Do Cubans vote?
Chávez was known to be deftly shrewd in assessing opinion polls and tracking numbers in order to make political decisions. He always took the pulse of his Venezuelan electorate masterfully. But his responses to popularity were always based around elections. (Unless there was an imminent coup plot that I am not aware of. Otherwise he could rest easy from election to election).
With no immediate elections in sight, but a probable power struggle in the works, I wonder if Maduro is doing the same.

Dylan Frittelli wins John Deere Classic for first PGA Tour victory

SILVIS, ILL. — While the rest of the leaders faltered, Dylan Frittelli surged to his first PGA Tour title.
Frittelli won the John Deere Classic on Sunday, closing with a 7-under 64 for a two-stroke victory over Russell Henley. The South African earned a spot next week in the British Open, finishing at 21-under 263 after the bogey-free final round at TPC Deere Run.
One of eight players within two strokes of the lead entering the lead, Frittelli was looking forward to the tournament's charter flight to Royal Portrush.
"I'm sure it's going to be a fun flight," Frittelli said.
A two-time winner on the European Tour, Frittelli birdied the par-5 17th after blasting out of a greenside bunker to 11 feet, and closed with a par on the par-4 18th.
Frittelli had tied for 46th in each of his last two starts.
"I don't want to say it was easy out there. It just felt a whole lot easier than it has been the last few weeks," Frittelli said. "I calmed my nerves down."
Henley shot a tournament-best 61. Andrew Landry, who opened Sunday in a two-way tie for the lead, was 18 under after a 69.

Rookie Collin Morikawa (66), the runner-up last week in Minnesota, and Chris Stroud (67) followed at 17 under. Morikawa hit all 18 greens in regulation.
Henley's career-low effort included six birdies on the back nine, capped by one on No. 18 — the same hole he double-bogeyed Friday. Henley made six putts of at least 7 feet, including 26- and 46-footers.

"If you would have told me at the start of the day, `We'll give you 66,' I'd have said, `That's pretty good.' So to get five better than that is really awesome," Henley said.
But Henley, who finished well before Fritteli hit the turn, could only watch from the clubhouse as Frittelli surpassed him and everyone else in the field.
Frittelli, who opened with rounds of 66, 68 and 65, started the final round with three straight birdies. He matched Henley with a chip-in on No. 10 and took the lead for good with a 20-foot birdie putt on the 11th hole.
Landry birdied No. 14 to pull within two shots. But Landry went with his putter 30 feet from the pin while off the green on the par-4 15th hole, and left his try short on his way to his third bogey of the day.
Moments later, Frittelli got out of a bunker by using the green's downward slope to his advantage, where he made a birdie putt that effectively ended the drama in the Quad Cities.

"You can't give up shots to the rest of the field," Frittelli said. "When I saw the leaderboard, putting downhill, I thought, if I make this (I'll get) a little bit of breathing room with Russell in the clubhouse already."

SEC flags digital currency companies allegedly duping investors globally
The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has flagged 28 companies it alleged have been soliciting investors without obtaining the required registration. Of these 28 companies, 8 have been offering digital currency services.
In its press release, the regulator revealed that it was also flagging three impersonators of genuine firms and six fake regulators. It claims that these firms have been targeting primarily non-U.S. investors using misleading information.
The alleged digital currency scammers on the SEC's list include Axtrading Investment, SmartCoins24, RetireWell Investors and Passive Trade Plan.
One of these, Axtrading, claims to be "the world's largest and most trusted exchange institution in the decentralized finance space." It further claims to have processed more than $3 billion for over 1 million clients in 200+ jurisdictions. It also offers stocks, indices and commodities.
SmartCoins24 touts itself to be a globally reputable trading platform, offering BTC, ETH, Litecoin and more. Its Basic account requires a $250 deposit, with its Ultimate account going for $50,000.
The scammers have also been targeting retirees with digital currency products. One of these is RetireWell Investors, a fake firm that offers BTC trading services with a "guaranteed 3% weekly return on investment." The minimum investment stands at $500.
These, and several other firms, were added to the SEC's Public Alert: Unregistered Soliciting Entities (PAUSE) list. This list enables investors to better inform themselves about possibly fraudulent firms.
Commenting on the latest batch of companies on the PAUSE list, the Chief of the SEC's Office of Market Intelligence Jennifer Diamantis stated, "By updating the PAUSE list, we continue to provide the public with information we have learned in reviewing tips, complaints, referrals, and other sources so that investors can be alerted to potential fraud before they invest."
For years, the U.S. securities regulator has been cracking down on fraudsters and scammers especially in the digital industry. One of its most high-profile cases in recent weeks has been against Ripple, the company behind XRP. Former SEC chair Jay Clayton sued the company in December for selling unregistered securities.
Clayton's position at the helm of the watchdog is set to be assumed by Gary Gensler as part of the Joe Biden's administration takeover. As CoinGeek reported, Gensler is expected to enforce tougher regulations for the industry. His previous stint as the head of the CFTC saw the regulator adopt a more hands-on approach in the wake of the 2008 financial crisis.

My Roberto Kelly want list
Below you'll find the list of cards I need for my Roberto Kelly collection. Over his career, he played for the Yankees, Reds, Braves, Expos, Dodgers, Twins, Mariners and Rangers. He has some cards in a Rockies uniform, but he never made it back to the majors with them and ended his career in Mexico. Since retiring as a player, he managed the Augusta Greenjackets for three seasons before becoming the San Francisco Giants 1st Base and baserunning coach in 2008, a post he has held ever since. An American League All-Star in 1992 with the Yankees, he achieved a rare feat by making the All-Star team again in 1993, only this time for the National League after being traded to the Reds.
I started collecting Roberto Kelly in 1988, along with all the other Yankee rookies that year like Jay Buhner and Al Leiter. Since all three were very promising young players, naturally the Yankees dealt them. Somehow, the Yankees made a Bizarro World trade with the Mariners where they send Buhner and TWO OTHER PLAYERS to the M's for a single Ken Phelps. A year later, the Yankees would then deal Phelps to the A's for a single minor league pitcher. Leiter took a few years to settle in to the pitcher he would be for the Mets in his prime, but at least they got the best right field arm in baseball in return in Jesse Barfield. The Buhners kept tricking into the collection for awhile, but I never really pursued it after he was traded, and Leiter just didn't pan out, so I gave up on him pretty quickly.
But Kelly ended up being the only bright spot for the Yankees in the early 90s, as Mattingly succumbed to back problems, the pitching was terrible and Deion Sanders just never "arrived" while in New York. I never gave up on him, even through the trades, but at the same time, I never really concentrated on him until the last few years. So far, I've picked up 408 of his 423 total cards (based on the Sports Card Forum Inventory Manager), which puts me at about 96.5% complete.
Cards that are already on the way are denoted in bold. As always my entire Sportlots inventory is available for trade.

Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Wallace B. Jefferson has written the below open letter to Texas lawyers. The letter was published in the January issue of the Texas Bar Journal. For more information about Referendum 2011, please visit www.texasbar.com/rulesupdate.
You have the privilege to help establish the ethical standards that govern our profession. I encourage you to exercise that privilege by analyzing the proposed amendments to the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct; making educated, independent decisions regarding the amendments; and voting on them in the referendum.
The Court proposed these amendments after engaging in a collaborative exchange with members of the State Bar of Texas and the general public. In 2003, the Court appointed a task force to analyze extensive changes made to the ABA Model Rules of Professional Conduct in 2002, compare the changes with the current Texas rules and other states' rules, and make recommendations for improvements to the Texas rules. Between 2003 and 2008, the Court oversaw the work of not only the task force but also the State Bar Committee on the Texas Disciplinary Rules of Professional Conduct, which also submitted recommendations. Between 2008 and 2009, the Court devoted multiple administrative conferences to considering the task force's and committee's recommendations. We studied their proposals in conjunction with comparable ABA language, existing Texas rules, and applicable law, among other things.
Because these amendments affect all of you and the clients you serve, the Court and State Bar leadership felt the revisions should be vetted by lawyers with diverse backgrounds and expertise. To that end, the Court task force and State Bar committee included, among others, lawyers from small, mid-sized, and large firms; in-house counsel; government lawyers; academics; and representatives of disciplinary authorities. To obtain additional perspectives, we also sought feedback from all Texas lawyers and members of the general public in a public-comment period between 2009 and 2010.
The Court listened. We made many changes in response to helpful suggestions we received from lawyers in multiple practice areas, members of the general public, and academics specializing in professional responsibility. As a result, the initial version of the proposed amendments (issued in October 2009) differs substantially from the current one (issued in November 2010). This impressive collaboration among the bench, the bar, and the public has generated amendments that enhance the profession's role as the guardian of rights and liberties under law.
If you adopt these amendments, our rules will be more consistent overall with the ABA rules. Some of them may also serve as a model for other states and the ABA in crafting ethical standards for the legal profession.
I am proud of the process that resulted in the proposed amendments. I urge you to study them carefully and exercise your right to vote. I think you will conclude, as the Court has, that the proposed amendments will serve you and your clients well.

Current Mets second base options for the 2022 season
St Louis Cardinals v New York Mets / Mike Stobe/GettyImages
In the greatest baseball lineup of all time, Who was on first and What was on second. The New York Mets won't go the Abbott and Costello route with their 2022 lineup. They'll have someone other than What playing second base when the season begins.
Right now, it's unclear exactly which big leaguer will open the season at the position. When the offseason began, Javier Baez was a possibility. He has since joined the Detroit Tigers, prematurely ending the double-play combination up the middle with potential to become the greatest in Mets history.
With Opening Day around the corner, down the street, another mile up a hill, and a county or so over, there's time to consider a variety of options. Internally and externally, these seem to be the best options to start at second base for the Mets on Opening Day 2022.
NY Mets second base candidate: Jeff McNeil
Jeff McNeil has to be the clear favorite to start at second base for the Mets merely because he is there and the most recent guy on the roster to play the position on a regular basis. Even if it means pairing him up with Lindor again, it may be the best thing the Mets can do.
McNeil has emerged as a stronger trade candidate in the last few weeks. Details about the "ratcoon" incident coming out played a larger role into this. Although, the water may have truly passed under the bridge and things between him and Lindor could be good again.
Compared to J.D. Davis and Dominic Smith, McNeil may also provide the Mets with their greatest trade chip. He's coming off a down year but teams have been interested in the past and nothing should change too drastically. He's going to get significant playing time somewhere in 2022. As of right now, it's at second base for the Mets.
Ask again in a few months and the answer could be very different.

Taking a side street route when walking through a city cuts a person's air pollution exposure by half, according to a new study.
Signposting these clean air routes and providing online maps would keep people away from heavily polluted main streets and would benefit their health, the researchers said. In fact the UK group behind the research have developed a new interactive map of London that allows people to put in any route and be shown a low-pollution walking option.
Air pollution is the "world's largest single environmental health risk", according to the World Health Organisation, with 80% of the world's urban population now living in cities that exceed WHO standards for pollution.
The new research was conducted in London, which has illegally high levels of toxic air. The team from King's College London analysed seven popular routes through the city, with different researchers simultaneously walking along main road and backstreet routes while carrying pollution measuring equipment.
The routes included King's Cross Station to Euston Station, Embankment to Covent Garden, and Earl's Court to Holland Park; each pair of routes were similar in length. Black carbon was measured as it comes primarily from diesel vehicles, which are the main source of the city's pollution problem.
The average reduction in overall pollution exposure for those taking the side street routes was 53%, with the cuts ranging from 30-60%. Gary Fuller, at King's College London, said: "This could be better in so many ways for people's pollution exposure and probably for their sense of wellbeing as well. Anything you can do to limit your exposure will be good for your health.
Harper said the first clean air walking route to be signposted in London was the Kings Cross-Euston route, which has already seen a tripling in footfall and a boost to local businesses.
The air pollution problem in the UK has been called a public health emergency by a cross-party committee of MPs. Levels of nitrogen dioxide (NO2), emitted mostly by diesel vehicles, have been above legal limits in almost 90% of urban areas in the UK since 2010.
These and other toxic fumes are estimated to cause 40,000 early deaths a year but the government has failed to take effective action. The environmental law firm ClientEarth has already defeated the ministers twice in the courts over the adequacy of air quality plans.
Ministers' latest proposals were published on 5 May but were widely condemned as inadequate, and ClientEarth is now suing the government a third time. The new environment secretary, Michael Gove, has yet to make any statement on air pollution.
Oliver Hayes, Friends of the Earth air pollution campaigner, said: "Our analysis of the government's own data shows the scale of this public health crisis. It is not acceptable that air pollution is predicted to go on damaging people's lungs for years to come. People in Birmingham and Leeds would be breathing toxic air for nearly another decade, unless more is done without any more delay.

An Assembleia Municipal (; "municipal assembly"; plural: assembleias municipais) is the legislature that governs a municipality in Portugal. Part of the assembly's members are elected every four years among candidate lists by the D'Hondt method, simultaneously with the election of the Câmara Municipal; the remainder member are the presidents of the Junta de freguesia that compose the municipality, whose number cannot exceed the number of elected members. A municipal assembly generally meets five times a year, and its members are paid a presence fee for each meeting.

It is a level higher than the Assembleia de freguesia.
The executive equivalent of the Assembleia Municipal is the Câmara municipal.

The subject of God's glory has been on my mind for over a year. Christmas Eve I spoke about the angels that appeared to the shepherds and said "Glory to God in the highest." Why? First, it was because this was a seminal moment in divine history. The long awaited Messiah was born and the Shepherds would be first to see Him who was prophesied in the Old Testament (cf. Gen. 3:15; Isa. 7:14; 9:6; Mic. 5:2; etc.). These angels knew about that since they dwelt in heaven in the presence of God. They also appear earlier in the birth narrative confirming this.
The word "glory" in this context means more than visual light. Here it referred to all that God is; it is the sum of all God's attributes. That is mind bending to say the least.
The "heavens declare the glory of God" as does all creation with man being the crown of it because we are made in God's image (Psa. 19:1). But now in the incarnation God is "with us" in person.
Secondly, the angels said this because Christ came to die for our sin. Romans 1:2-23 tells us man had exchanged the glory of God for corrupt things. But Christ came to pay the price for our disobedience (sin) so that all who repent and trust Christ may be saved from eternity in hell. The angels were pretty excited about the fact this process was started.
But is goes farther than just salvation. They said "glory to God in the highest" to acknowledge God was in the "highest" heaven and to be worshiped because He is as glorious as He possibly could be. Men or angels can't add to His glory but we can reflect it when we do His will. How are you doing?
The Protestant Reformation emphasized getting back to God's glory in our worship. The final point of Reformation was that "glory to God alone." God's glory is the "highest" thing. It is the meaning of everything. It is even above salvation. All that God made and all that happens is to God's glory.
Our culture is moving away from glorifying God and toward self-glory. Advertisements say, "it's all about you." This is an unhealthy self-focus and a narcissistic mentality. As Christians we need to refocus on God getting the glory and not us.
In the New Year work put your selfish sin nature aside, stop trying to posture yourself to get glor and instead focus on giving God the glory.
You can watch the Christmas Eve service music and message on the glory of God.
Here is the chalk drawing Adria Hanson did picturing the angels appearing to the shepherds. I appreciate her hard work in illustrating the scene in Luke 2:14. Glory to God in the highest.
Hear the song that recalls this glorious event.
Be aware of the following.
Pete John's memorial is scheduled for Sat. Dec. 29th at 3 PM at DBC.
Sun. 12/30 there is no Sunday School due to holiday break. But, at 9:30 we will have a coffee fellowship time before worship service. Come and enjoy.
Sun. 12/30 at 10:30 I will be speaking on Mark 3:20-35 and the question of the unpardonable sin as we are back in the book of Mark, the newspaper version of the Gospel.


Located in Murcia on the Costa Calida (warm coast), this is a swanky 4* resort with courses for serious golfers and plenty to keep non-golfers entertained.
As the name 'warm coast' suggests, the weather remains warm for most of the year. Autumn golf weekends at La Manga see stag parties tee off in temperatures of up to 25 degrees. You'll need to bring something more than shorts and flip flops though, as the temperatures dip to around 12 degrees at night.
La Manga runs excellent offers and promos on golf stag weekends in autumn and winter. The weather's a damn sight finer than it is in Blighty and the golf courses, facilities and on-site academy are all first class.
There are four golf courses in total at La Manga.
The North course (18 holes, par 71) is a sweeping, undulating affair with sprawling USGA-standard greens, swaying palm trees, lakes, natural storm gullies and interesting water obstacles that will keep improvers on their toes.
The South course (18 holes, par 73) is the championship course. Located slap bang in the heart of the valley, it's got palm-lined fairways, water hazards on most of the 18 holes, punishing bunkers, testing par 4's and a particularly tricky ravine on the final hole. Excellent if you're looking for golf stag weekends that present a true challenge.
The West course is quite different. This 18-hole, par 72 golf course is set within lush pine woodland and has a more natural, undulating feel than the others. Don't be deceived by the tranquillity! There are hills, storm gullies, surprise changes in elevation, blind shots and narrow fairways to contend with.
Finally, you've got the pitch and putt course.
Golf weekends at La Manga aren't just about the golf. Non-golfers can get stuck into everything from football, tennis, crickets and rugby to mountain biking, diving and snorkelling. You definitely won't be bored.
After a hard day's golf, refuel at the American burger joint or chow down on Italian, Indian or Spanish food before hitting Mulligan's pub or one of the swankier lounge bars.
