The Deathbed Test
My father taught me a very important lesson in the last days of his life. He had written a novel that had never been published, but that he loved very much. Several years ago, one afternoon, he made some audio tapes for family and friends of himself reading selections from the novel. On the tapes, he read selections from his favorite chapters, and it was a treat to hear him bring the dialogue alive. As a professor of literature, he loved language, and reading the novel aloud let him, and us, hear and enjoy the music in the words. Little did I realize, when I got my set of tapes, that these tapes would become the only way for my Dad to have a voice so many years later. In the last few days of his life, his once sonorous and melodic voice had faded to a whisper. The doctors had said they could do no more for him, so we brought him home from the hospital, and set up a hospital bed downstairs in a room we called the blue room - a room where, for years, my Dad had stayed up late marking papers or preparing for his classes. We camped out in the blue room as a family, keeping my Dad's company as he became weaker and weaker. One of us decided to get those tapes he had made so many years ago, and we played, for him, one of his favorites - a recording of the fourth chapter of his novel. It was an odd juxtaposition, hearing his robust voice emanating from the speakers while he lay there, feeble, on a hospital bed, barely able to whisper. Odd, that is, until the end of the tape, where we unmistakeably heard my Dad, in appreciation of what he had heard, whisper the word "Excellent." That was hilarious, and said so much about my Dad. He was confident in his abilities - the world had never celebrated his novel, and it had never been published, but he literally went to his grave believing that he had created something great, and he did not need anyone else to validate that for him. He was also keenly aware that writing, and the act of creating something, was its own reward - one that would be around, in some form, after he was gone.
Years later, as I was trying to figure out what types of songs to write, I remembered this experience, and arrived at an answer. In the past, I have tried to write many types of songs - some for my own amusement, others targeted at the commercial market - with varying results. Now, I ask if the song I am writing would pass what I call the "deathbed test": if I were on my deathbed, and someone played the song, would I be able to whisper, when the last note faded, "excellent"? I found this test helped me regain something I had lost sight of in my writing. Like many other developing songwriters, I can get caught up in what pleases others (be they the "public" - however that is defined - or various gatekeepers in the music industry). While I still keep an eye on this, I now also ask myself a different question: regardless of whether or not this song appeals to others, does it move me enough that, if it were one of the last things in my life that I heard, I would be proud of it? I find this helps me ensure that my writing becomes its own reward, regardless of the success or failure of any particular song.
One Christmas, my Dad gave me, my wife, my sister and my Mom a copy, in a three-ring binder, of his novel. He had recently finished revising it, after having not read it for several years, and wanted each of us to have a copy. On the front of each copy, along with a holiday greeting, he had written the following message:
"May these pages make you happy and make you sad; make you laugh and make you cry!
But may they, above everything else, thrill and inspire you far beyond the words which are written here!"
I hope the same for every song I write now. I hope you will too for your songs as well.

NCPR REVIEWS OFF SEASON ON THE AIR!
"NCPR REVIEWS OFF SEASON ON THE AIR!" / Listen here: NCPR / BY BETSY KEPES & TODD MOE / August 28, 2019
Aug 28, 2019 — The 2016 election, a father navigating life as a single parent and life in contemporary New England are all elements in James Sturm's graphic novel, Off Season. Sturm, who lives in White River Junction, Vermont, is the author of several award-winning graphic novels for children and adults, and is also the founder of the Center for Cartoon Studies. Todd Moe and Betsy Kepes read the illustrated novel about politics, divorce, rage and love, and shared their reviews.
Off Season by James Sturm (Drawn and Quarterly, 2019)
Is it crazy to talk about a graphic novel on the radio, when you can't see the drawings? Probably, but this one, Off Season by James Sturm, was so good that Todd Moe and I just had to do it.
The sequence of frames here are from the middle of the book in a short chapter called, "Off Season". I chose these three pages because they show the skill that Sturm has with outside scenes and also interiors and how he makes his humans-with-dog-heads so expressive. He also uses a lot of "back story" in his book and I like the way it intersects with the present, sometimes in the drawings, sometimes in the text.
These three pages also show the characters as they react to each other throughout the rest of the book. The parents, Mark and Lisa, are separated and angry. Mark is worried about money and Lisa doesn't understand his thrift. The kids are bratty as they try to figure out what is happening to their parents, and all of the family is trying hard to live their new lives.
Todd and I sat in his office talking about what made this book memorable for us. I hadn't realized that Todd has a comic book collection, and he didn't know that I read lots of comics when I was a kid. My older brother bought them and, well, when he wasn't looking I'd read them too. So both of us love the concept of words with drawings and it was refreshing to find a book for grown up readers that had the same pleasure as a comic book, but a deeper story.
Sturm has written a handful of other graphic novels, most of them historical fiction. This is his first book where the main characters are not completely human. The dog faces are funny at times (especially in the party scenes) and perhaps he decided that a book with a serious topic needed the lightness that the animal heads add. Or, as Todd mused when we were talking, perhaps he thought he could make dog faces more expressive then human faces.
I bought my copy of Off Season at the Crow Bookshop on the Church Street walking mall in Burlington but of course it is available elsewhere. And since the book doesn't take long to read/look at you can be sure if you schedule a book discussion with a friend or two they will actually read the book.

Intense Mission over Rabaul
Three B-26s from the 408th Squadron, 22nd Bomb Group took off from Seven Mile for Vunakanau, Rabaul on May 24, 1942. For one pilot, 2/Lt. Harold L. Massie, this would be his first mission as a first pilot. It was co-pilot 2/Lt. Eugene Wallace's second combat mission. The three planes flew through overcast skies as they neared New Britain, but their flight leader, Lt. Ralph L. Michaelis, spotted a hole in the clouds near Rabaul. When they reached the target area, they discovered it was still covered by clouds. Still, there was a gap a few miles away and Michaelis decided his flight could use that to their advantage. The plan was to make one north-south run at low-level and get out of the area as fast as possible. At the time, Rabaul was a Japanese stronghold and three B-26s were no match for the heavily defended airdrome.
As they made their run, Japanese antiaircraft gunners let loose with a barrage of ack-ack, and hit two of the three B-26s. As Michaelis put it, "While over the target each member of the crew had had a close call." Only one man in his plane, the bombardier, was injured when a tracer bullet went through his seat and cushion, stopped right next to his skin and burned him. He and 1/Lt. McCutcheon, the pilot of the third B-26, made it back to base safely. Massie's plane was not so lucky. It was hit in the starboard engine and last seen smoking badly. The final radio transmission mentioned that they reached Wide Bay. While the plane had been doing ok on one engine, it wasn't enough power to keep it in the air and Massie ditched about a mile offshore. Two of his crewmen, Pvt. Joseph C. Dukes and Cpl. Wolenski, were not seen after the landing. The others were helped to shore by Papuans. On July 27th, they split up. Massie and bombardier 2/Lt. Arthur C. King went one way and the other four went another way.
The photographer, S/Sgt. Jack B. Swan, broke his shoulder in the crash and died in his sleep on August 23rd. He was buried in the abandoned village of Ubili. His surviving crewmembers were eventually located and helped by an Australian plantation owner. They were finally rescued on March 25, 1943, and that incredible story is told in full in Revenge of the Red Raiders. Massie and King were captured by Papuans who subsequently turned them over to the Japanese. They were executed at Rabaul on October 12, 1942.

A War Correspondent's Perspective
Harold Guard, a United Press war correspondent, joined the crew of Lt. Chris Herron of the 19th Squadron, 22nd Bomb Group for a mission over the Rabaul area on April 23, 1942. Below is his account of the mission.
"I went over Rabaul in a bomber piloted by Lt. Chris Herron and co-piloted by Lt. Duncan Seffern, who fitted me with a 'Mae West' and parachute before we left. I had to sit between the radioman and turret gunner, [Cpl.] George McMannamy, and the navigator, Lt. Charles Smith, on the flight. Bombardier Lt. George Barnhill occupied the glass-domed nose and somewhere in the tail were rear gunners [PFC.] Fred J. Mikles and [PFC.] Harry E. Philo.
"We arrived over Rabaul Harbor suddenly from a bank of clouds. I counted seven large ships and there were several smaller vessels. Someone behind U.S. will attend to them. We crossed the harbor, swooping low. I noticed the altitude meter registered 1,000 ft. Simultaneously I saw ground gun flashes and black smoke balls bursting above and around us. I hear the sound like cracking walnuts. The altitude was 700 ft.
"Herron croaks through the throat microphone. I can see the target—long parallel, drab colored buildings. The bomb bay doors open. Barnhill lets go—and fascinated, I see the incendiary sticks spread and actually reach the target. They got what they were supposed to get.
"We start to climb and the turret gunner reports a Zero on the starboard side. I saw him racing ahead of us. The gunner reports two more. I spot a fourth on the port side. The Zeros climb higher. They're a pretty picture, with the light putty-colored wings against the golden sunshine.
Reconnaissance photo of the Rabaul area taken in 1941.
"Then one swoops down towards us. I think he's sure that he got us, but we dive steeply towards the sea and our after-guns clatter. Barnhill doesn't waste time during the dive. He pours tracers into the barges now only 75 ft. below us. They are carrying uniformed figures and Barney's tracers find their target. We straighten out and I see, as I look backwards, billowing clouds of black smoke and sheets of vivid red flame.
"Meanwhile, three more Zeros are pressing us. We remain low over the sea and they can't dive below us. The tail gunner reports two Zeros hovering on our tail. Suddenly another one hurtles down out of the clouds. Guns chatter again and once more I hear a sound like cracking walnuts and there are bursting puffballs all around us. The gunner's language over the intercommunication radiophone becomes unprintable as his gun momentarily jams, but he soon gets it into action again and fires a burst which sends the Zeros on our tail zooming away.
"Only one Zero is coming our way now. Herron anticipates perfectly. With a skillful turn of the wrist we are suddenly up and under the Zero. Our turret guns blaze, and McMannnamy's interphone croaks 'We got that so-and-so!'
"Barney's singing over the interphone like a fool—'I don't want to set the world on fire!'…Suddenly I realize it's all over. I start grinning and everybody laughed at me. I realize I must have been scared all the time. We turn for home and race in for a perfect landing. Down at Allied HQs, a brief communique says: 'Our air force attacked shipping, barracks and warehouses, and machine-gunned enemy personnel.'"

Repost: One Minute in Hell
Seventy-five years ago, Fifth Air Force units set out to strike the Japanese stronghold of Rabaul. Artist Steve Ferguson illustrated one moment of that mission below. This print was first shared last year.
On November 2, 1943, Fifth Air Force launched a massive low-level attack by B-25 strafer-bombers against harbor installations and shipping at the major Japanese fleet anchorage and base at Rabaul, New Britain. In the vanguard of the 71st Squadron's strike, 1/Lt. James A. Hungerpiller flying SLEEPY TIME GAL and 1/Lt. J. E. Orr can be seen engaging their targets at mast-top heights. In the face of the hundreds of antiaircraft guns, Lt. Hungerpiller opened fire on two destroyers, scoring a direct hit with one of his bombs. Meanwhile, Lt. Orr opened fire on a harbor merchant ship while Lt. Hungerpiller's aircraft quickly began to lose altitude because of severe AA damage. Recognizing the plight of this aircraft, he made a sharp right turn toward to heavy cruisers anchored just off the western shore of the harbor.
This painting depicts Lt. Hungerpiller's SLEEPY TIME GAL, trailing a plume of fire and smoke, crossing beyond the bow of the heavy cruiser Haguro. In the foreground, Lt. Orr is opening fire on the Japanese merchant ship. With his left engine on fire and the aircraft severely damaged from a fuel tank explosion, Lt. Hungerpiller soon lost control his aircraft and plunged into the sea.
This painting, part of a limited edition series by Steve Ferguson, can be purchased on our website.

The First Major Attack on Rabaul
As the Allied forces looked beyond their current situation in October 1943, they were determined to neutralize the threat presented by the Japanese at Rabaul in order to keep moving northwest toward the Philippines. It was time to initiate a series of heavy attacks on the area, the first of which was scheduled for October 12th. Over 100 B-25s from the 345th and 38th Bomb Groups, three P-38 squadrons, 40 planes from the 3rd Bomb Group, and more than 80 B-24s from the 90th and 43rd Bomb Groups joined forces with RAAF P-40s, Beaufighters and Beauforts. They were up against a powerful foe made up of almost 300 aircraft spread out on the airfields surrounding Rabaul as well as nearly 400 antiaircraft guns. A number of ships were also sitting in the harbor at this time.
This formidable Allied force was to split up in order to tackle the defenses on each field: the 345th and 38th would attack Vunakanau, the 3rd would take on Rapopo, Beaufighters were to hit Tobera, then the B-24s would take care of the shipping in Simpson Harbor. As the formations flew toward their specific target areas, they knew the best thing for them at the start of this strike would be the element of surprise. It worked.
Flying over the hillside, the 498th Squadron began firing on the rows of Japanese aircraft sitting on Tobera's airfield. Maintenance workers that had been working on planes quickly ran for cover and men in the B-25s noticed that the antiaircraft guns were still covered up and pointing the wrong way. The B-25s also disrupted the takeoffs and landings of several Japanese planes. As the 498th worked over its target area with machine guns and parafrags, Japanese antiaircraft gunners started firing back and dislocated part of the right aileron on 1/Lt. Kenneth C. Dean's B-25. Dean and his crew were able to return to base without further incident.
This Japanese "Zero" fighter was caught on the main runway during the October 12th attack on Vunakanau. It was strafed repeatedly by the waves of aircraft as they passed overhead but shows little evidence of damage in this photo taken from aircraft #220 of the 38th Bomb Group's 71st Squadron. Strafing damage rarely showed up in belly camera photography. Two squadrons from the 38th attacked Vunakanau immediately behind the 345th. (John C. Hanna Collection)
Among the Japanese on the ground was 18-year-old Petty Officer Masajiro Kawato, who had been assigned to 253 Kokutai. That day, he was at Tobera to deal with some paperwork for his unit. Instead, he wound up defending the airfield from the Allied attack. His experiences during the strike can be found in Warpath Across the Pacific.
With each squadron's attack on the airfields, the Japanese defenses increased as Rabaul turned into a fully armed and operational battle station. Japanese fighters attacked the enemy aircraft, with the fiercest attacks directed at the new wave of Allied aircraft: the B-24s. Two were shot down. Once the Allies left the area and began to analyze claims and photography, it was clear that this raid was a success. Approximately 100 Japanese planed on the ground were destroyed and 26 more were shot down. Several ships and harbor facilities also sustained damage.

Seventy-five years ago today, Gen. Kenneth N. Walker boarded Maj. Jack W. Bleasdale's B-17 SAN ANTONIO ROSE, thereby ignoring a direct order from Gen. George C. Kenney not to fly on combat missions. Kenney feared losing an excellent commander and what could happen if the aircraft Walker was on was shot down and its passengers, especially Walker, were captured by the Japanese. If you've read our previous post on the subject, you might recall that this mission was particularly dangerous because it was a raid on the Japanese stronghold of Rabaul in broad daylight. Still, it caught the Japanese by surprise and several ships sitting in Simpson Harbor were either damaged or sunk. The 43rd Bomb Group lost two B-17s that day. One was SAN ANTONIO ROSE, the other was B-17F #41-24538, piloted by 1/Lt. Jean Jack. Jack and his crew ditched their B-17 off the coast of Urasi Island and all were rescued the following day. SAN ANTONIO ROSE has never been found.

How to Make a Volcano Explode (or not)
In late March 1943, Rabaul was (unsurprisingly) still the top target of Allied raids. For two days, March 20th and 21st, the 65th Squadron was on alert to fly a mission to Vunakanau Airdrome, and the mission was cancelled each day because of less than optimal weather. All four of the 43rd's squadrons were put on alert on the 22nd for another Rabaul raid, and they were able to take off from Seven Mile on the night of the 22nd, which would have them arriving over Rabaul on the 23rd.
The B-17s made their appearance known by dropping bombs on Rabaul before sunrise. Since there was no daylight, the crews could not observe their results, but searchlights were following the B-17s everywhere. While several planes were holed by antiaircraft fire, none were seriously damaged and all returned to base without issue.
Rabaul was the proverbial thorn in Fifth Air Force's side and it's possible that more than a few men were wishing for a quick way to shut down this Japanese stronghold. Several of them came up with a theory to test out: using Matupi Volcano to their advantage, specifically by using bombs to make it explode, thereby wiping out Rabaul. Major Carl A. Hustad took off with his bombardier on the 23rd to carry out this mission. The two 2000-pound bombs were dropped into the crater with no results. Afterwards, personnel realized how silly the idea was in the first place.
Taken in 1941, this photo shows the topography of the Rabaul area. Matupi Volcano can be seen in the background.
This story can be found in our book Ken's Men Against the Empire.

Major Tom Gerrity's One Plane War Against the Japanese
By late October 1942 Maj. Tom Gerrity, then C.O. of the 90th Squadron, was scheduled to be rotated home along with the other veteran pilots of the 27th Bomb Group who had been evacuated from the Philippines. Before leaving the Pacific Theater, Gerrity wanted to attempt an ambitious solo strike against the Japanese stronghold of Rabaul on the island of New Britain. An extra set of internal wing tanks had been installed in his B-25 Mitchell bomber to give them the necessary range for a mission scheduled on October 25th. Flying with Gerrity was co-pilot 2/Lt. Robert F. "Ruby" Keeler, veteran bombardier T/Sgt. Kirby Neal, turret gunner Sgt. Joe Champagne and radio operator Sgt. Billy Graham of the RAAF. However, due to engine trouble they were unable to reach the distant target and returned to Port Moresby. The next day Gerrity assigned himself the morning reconnaissance flight and used the opportunity to make multiple strafing attacks against the Japanese base at Salamaua. By noon he had packed his bags and was on his way to Australia, arriving back home in California on November 5th.
Gerrity would soon rise to the rank of General in the U.S. Air Force. He passed away in 1969 and was interred at Arlington National Cemetery. Both Lt. Keeler and Sgt. Kirby would be killed before the year was over while the two gunners, Joe Champagne and Billy Graham, would complete their combat tours and also return home.

"We've had a great week here at Lac de Villedon! 71 carp over 20kg were caught, including 15 carp over 25kg and even 2 carp over 30kg. All swims, but one, managed to catch a 20kg carp. The most special catch of the week was the big common of the lake. Unfortunately we won't know the exact weight of the carp, as it bottomed (and broke) the scales at 30kg+. Looking at the size of the fish, its body and time of year, we estimate it to be around 33-35kg!"

JAMES OSTRER!
Hot 'N' Gold magazine is in love with gluttonous and absurd masquerades of James Ostrer, which are bound to leave both a sweet yet sickly sensation in your stomach. We catch up with the artist to discuss guilty pleasures, washing up anthems and his delicious new series Wotsit All About.
Hello James! Firstly, whereabouts are you from and what is your creative background?
I am from London and went to art school there. But left after I fell out with my tutor as she wanted me to photograph myself masturbating to "develop" a project further that had nothing to do with nudity or wanking. She hated me because I was a lazy pot head that thought I could get away with not working hard enough...That and I guess she must have wanted to see my plonker...
I then went on to work on film sets as a double for actors. Through that I met someone who worked as a props guy for the English National Ballet company which eventually led me to being the resident scenic artist for 7 years with them. During all of this I also part owned and worked for a still life photography company that's clients ranged from John Lewis to sex shops.
Hot 'N' Gold magazine loves the sugar-fueled absurdity in your latest series Wotsit All About! Can you talk us through the narrative and your relationship with the sweet yet deadly molecule?
Let's chat culinary guilty pleasures!
My work is often like a constantly evolving self-help course where I am the therapist as well as the client. The specific intent with the start of this project was to expose myself to such extreme levels of junk food that I would no longer want to eat it again. I hoped to change my response to the mass of synthetic and saturated colour in shops, that hums and draws me in like a fly to a zapper. I wanted to convert those feelings into something new and beautiful.
Finally, what other contemporary artists at the moment deserve our readers r.e.s.p.e.c.t?
Your press release opens with a delightful Kim Kardashian quote 'I love to eat – Kit Kats or cookies-and-cream ice cream. I need sugar like five times a day.' In your opinion, what are the comparisons between junk-food, celebrity-culture and mass-consumption?
They all support each other perfectly and in a chicken or egg kinda way i have kinda lost track of how it all started...I think at one point movie stars were talented actors focusing more on their movie roles than what they were selling but that equation is way out of balance now... to the extreme where you have reality star "actors" pretending to be happy and aspirational while living off free stuff that no-one can afford so go into debt buying...junk food gets thrown in the mix as the perfect metaphor for something that looks enticing but makes you feel empty and malnourished after consuming it like the above.
All of them and it changes each day....the thing I love most is buying an Easter egg for myself and chowing it down in one hit way before Easter Sunday. There is some rebellion in not waiting that still gets me going....
I'm a sucker for Slushpuppies and Parma Violets! What were your favorite childhood sweets?
The same as everyone else's... I don't understand with all the marketing and feedback groups these companies have why they don't do a packet without the coffee ones in...I suppose it's the pleasure you get of finding out you're not biting into a coffee one that is part of the pleasure of eating revels.
In a bag of Revels, what is your least favorite flavor?
Tony Blair so I could poison him, Elvis so he could sing Suspicious minds while Tony was choking and Quentin Tarantino so he could film it on his phone and then distribute it.
If you could host a dinner party with three famous faces, who would you invite?
Fuck you, I wont do what you tell me by Rage Against The Machine while your girlfriend thinks your a loser for listening to the same music for twenty years thinking it's funny....
Can you recommend a good song to make washing-up more enjoyable?
For one definatley my best mate Anthony Micallef whose paintings I fucking love and has an amazing show coming up this year....

Offering Tuition Assistance for Active Duty Military During Government Shutdown
This month, in response to the government shutdown placing a moratorium on U.S. Military Tuition assistance, City University of Seattle declared they will support Active Duty Military applying to CityU and not wait for the moratorium to pass. In the event tuition assistance was not retroactively provided for Active Duty Military who have received approval prior to the government shutdown, CityU committed to not holding these students financially responsible for classes taken during fall quarter.
As a nonprofit focused on access to education, CityU believes that the education of men and women in the U.S. Military should not be interrupted due Congress' inability to agree on a budget. Active Duty Military personnel who are eligible for military tuition assistance are encouraged to register and begin this fall quarter.
"It is our conviction that we should do everything we can to support those serving our country. Providing tuition assistance is the least we can do for the men and women who have sacrificed much for our freedom," said President Richard Carter.
This was one of two acts that CityU did in October which underscored its commitment to serving the United States Military. The second can be read about here. For more information about military financial assistance please contact CityU's Financial Aid office at 206-239-4540 or visit its website here.

For all the love state's rights gets, it's important to look back at the fact that nearly 100% of the major issues where it has been invoked has been social conservatism.
The states are already able to govern a great deal, but state's rights has been used as an argument against: abolition of slavery, women's suffrage, the Civil Rights act, gay marriage, transgender protection, and decriminalization/legalization of marijuana, etc.
Nobody benefits besides the evangelicals from the extreme level of state power right now, and it's pretty bizarre how similar some Libertarians sound to them sometimes.
This is not true at all. This is just the cases that are top of mind because they're most controversial in your mind. That's selection bias.
States rights are invoked on LOTS of issues. And California is one of the states that leverages their states rights THE MOST. Have you seen the environmental regulations in CA? That's CA invoking it's states rights to enforce stricter environmental regulations than the Federal government.
States hiring their own police officers, creating their own educational programs, setting their own speed limits, etc are all invoking States rights.
It's weird that you would argue that States rights was used as an argument AGAINST gay marriage when certain states were able to invoke States rights to legalize it well before the Supreme Court ruling on the matter. Same for marijuana. Thank goodness for states rights, or a lot of Coloradans and Californians would be in Federal prison right now, for legally abiding by their states laws.
I already addressed basic governance, so I don't know why you're arguing that.
I'm just saying that any time you hear "I think it should be left up to the states on whether or not they want to do ___" it's usually some stupid attempt to withhold basic rights that in 20 years everyone will look back on and say it was a bad idea and there was no way to know at the time, etc. Yes it's nice that states can move ahead of the trend, but once a majority is in support of extending a right to the population, the state does not have a right to override that.
Anyone who opposes that concept is a neocon/theocon pretending to be a Libertarian. People want to live in the states where their jobs and families are, they don't want to have to move to get more rights.
Nah, it's not. I mean, I think it should be up to states on whether or not to legalize gambling, alcohol, marijuana, etc. I may believe that all states should legalize all 3...but it would be quite authoritarian of me to impose that on all 50 states. As much as I believe in libertarianism, I also respect that some people don't and that communities have a right to govern themselves. And so long as I can freely move between states, we sort of get the best of both worlds by having a system that encourages 50 independent laboratories of democracy.
We get to see states like Colorado experiment with legalizing marijuana...and when the sky doesn't fall, most of the states will follow suit. That's fine.
I do think the Federal government has a place in protecting individual rights. But I would hate to see the Feds actually enforce Federal law against Colorado marijuana retailers, planters, and consumers.
There's a balance there, and you have to admit. Sometimes the states are on the right side of history and sometimes it's the Feds. It's important that this balancing act be maintained...so we have a different authority to appeal to as individuals.

As we approach the end of the season, the cancellation bear is characteristically confident in most of his predictions (in fact, other than a push on The Mentalist the bear is batting 1.000), but there are plenty he's not confident in.
Low rated NBC sitcoms are a group of likely errors in waiting for the bear. The bear guesses that NBC will renew more sitcoms than just Parks & Recreation, but his individual show guesses are almost certain to produce errors, so he's going to do what most would do. Kick the can down the road!
The road ends for the bear on May 7. All up or down guesses on that day, or your money back!
Hannibal ratings tumbled to a 1.4 last week. If it can hold there (no guess) it will still get renewed. If it goes lower, the cancellation bear will adjust his prediction accordingly.

FDNY Brooklyn Box 4080: 17 Vandalia Avenue 12.18.1998
December 28, 2011 | "firefighter safety", "pre-fire planning", "Situational Awareness" assessment, Building Construction for the Fire Service, buildings, buildingsonfire.com, Christopher Naum, Combat Fire Engagement, FDNY, fire behavior, fire suppression, firefighting-operations, fires, Highrise, LODD, major-incidents, Mayday, ventilation, Wind Driven | Christopher Naum | No Comments
Take a moment to look back at an incident: On December 18, 1998, Three FDNY Firefighters died in-the line of duty while conducting suppression and rescue operations at fire on the tenth floor of 10-story high-rise apartment building for the elderly. At 0454 hours Brooklyn transmitted box 4080 for a top floor fire at 17 Vandalia Avenue in the Starrett City development complex. The sprawling complex is located on Brooklyn's south shore in the Spring Creek section. The 10 story 50 x 200 fireproof building is used as a senior citizen's residence. Engine 257 and ladder 170, both quartered in Canarsie, were assigned 1st due and arrived within 4 minutes. By that time the fire already could be seen blowing through two windows. Second and 3rd alarms were quickly transmitted.
As the 1st due Ladder Company, L170′s duty is to search the fire floor. Lieutenant Joseph Cavalieri, and fire fighters Christopher Bopp and James Bohan ascended 10 flights of stairs with extinguishers and forcible entry tools. Their mission was to rescue the resident of apartment 10-D who was believed trapped inside.
NIOSH INVESIGATIVE REPORT SUMMARY (F99-01) On December 18, 1998, several fire companies and fire fighters responded at 0454 hours to a reported fire on the tenth floor of a 10-story high-rise apartment building for the elderly. The fire had been burning for 20 to 30 minutes before it was called in because the resident attempted to put the fire out with small pans of water. As the fire fighters approached the building from the rear, an orange glow was observed in the window of Apartment 10D. As the fire fighters were arriving in front of the high-rise, a call was received from Central Dispatch that a female resident in the apartment next door to the fire apartment was trapped in her apartment and needed help. Several fire fighters entered the lobby area, and some took the stairs to the ninth floor, while others took the elevator to the ninth floor. A Lieutenant and two fire fighters on Ladder 170 (the victims), along with the Lieutenant on Engine 290, took the B-stairs from the ninth floor to the tenth floor, and entered the hallway, in search of the fire, while 4 fire fighters on Engine 290 were flaking out the hose line on the ninth floor and in the stairwell between the ninth and tenth floor in preparation for hookup.
During this same time period, other fire fighters had gone to the tenth floor A-stairwell landing to attempt a hose line hookup to the standpipe in the landing. Engine Company 257 fire fighters, who were attempting to make a hook-up on the fire floor landing, experienced trouble with the heat, heavy smoke, and heavy insulation on the standpipe and were forced to abandon this hook-up. The Lieutenant on Engine 290 and the victims, who were on the B-side, were approaching the center smoke doors (see diagram), when the Lieutenant radioed his driver on the outside, and asked, "Where is the fire?"
The driver radioed back, the fire is in the rear, towards exposure 4. The Lieutenant on Engine 290 then left the tenth floor, descended the stairs to the ninth floor and helped his men drag the hose to the A-stairwell, where they met up with fire fighters on Engine 257, who assisted them in stretching their line and hook-up on the ninth floor. The victims proceeded through the center smoke doors in search of the fire. From the information obtained during this investigation, it is believed the victims found the fire apartment, with the door partially opened, allowing smoke and hot gases to enter the hallway. They then opened the door fully, the wind pushed the fire and extreme heat in the apartment into the hallway, and a flashover occurred, exposing the victims to extreme radiant heat that potentially elevated their body core temperature.
The last radio transmission from the victims was a Mayday call. When the victims were found, all were unresponsive, they were treated at the scene and taken to the hospital where they were pronounced dead by the attending physician.
This wind-driven fire event and the lessons-learned contributed directly to the current body of research and new insights on emerging strategies and tactics. The NIOSH Investigative Report HERE.

What Is on David Tepper's Holiday Gift List This Year?
David Tepper, the new hedge fund king in town, netted roughly $7 billion this year, making big bets on battered bank shares. That makes his fund Appaloosa Management, one of the biggest winners of the financial crisis.
It is a heart-warming holiday story about a hedge fund that profited because the nation prospered, as opposed to the hedge funds that profited in 2007 and 2008 on the collapse of the subprime mortgage market.
Power tools are always popular at Christmas. Tepper could have snapped up the entire power tool company, Black & Decker, which sold last month for $4.6 billion to Stanley Works. As a stock stuffer, how about throwing in Chattem Inc, the maker of Gold Bond foot powder and dandruff shampoo, Chattem Inc, which cost about $1.9 billion?
For that really special person with an outsize ego, Tepper could build them a matching set of the world's tallest building. The 2,684 feet, 160-story Burj Dubai cost an estimated $4.1 billion to construct. Tepper might need to put some of the construction bill on credit, but what's to worry? Those condos will sell out in no time. Just ask Dubai's real-estate developers.
If Tepper is feeling in a charitable mood, Third World debt is a trendy gift. He could wipe out the African nation Tanzania's $6.1 billion debt or Somalia's $5.5 billion and have enough left over to clean out Namibia's $800 million of loans.
Every hedge fund should own a bank. Tepper profited by betting that Bank of America and Citigroup would survive the dark days of February and March. For an encore, he could buy the $2.5 billion of Treasury-held warrants in KeyCorp, of Cleveland, and the $3.5 billion of warrants in Regions Financial Corp., Birmingham, Ala. The struggling regional banks aren't as flashy as Wall Street's wards of the state, which makes them a more understated gift.
Then there is this number: 4,666. That is how many Lamborghini Reventons, the most expensive and powerful Lamborghini on the road, that Tepper could buy with his winnings.

Underwear brand Curvy Kate claims their new app can correctly guess a woman's bra size. All the woman has to do is take of picture of her in a bra. The app will then reveal a woman's correct bra size. It will also let the woman know how a bra should correctly fit, lift and shape their body. It will also educate her on the signs that a bra might not be fitting any longer due to wash, wear and bra usage.
It's almost sweater weather, the time of year when we get to be cozy and comfy, while still managing to be stylish. But sometimes, laundry mishaps lead to a favorite sweater shrinking down to a size that would fit a small child. Dryers can be so unkind! But you don't have to toss that treasured chunky knit, you just need to follow these steps to unshrink a sweater.
Step 1: Fill the sink with lukewarm water and add around a tablespoon of hair conditioner or baby shampoo.
Step 2: Put your shrunken sweater in and let it soak for half an hour.
Step 3: Drain the sink and gently squeeze the excess water out of the sweater, without rinsing or twisting it. You can lightly press it against the side of the sink to get the water out.
Step 4: Lay a thick cotton towel on the floor and lay the sweater on top. Roll the towel, with the sweater inside, into a jelly roll shape to soak up the water.
Step 5: While it's still damp, stretch it back into its original size - but be VERY gentle. Let it air dry and that's it. If it's super shrunken, gently stretch it out every 30 minutes while it's drying.
So why does this work? It's the conditioner that softens and relaxes the fibers in the material so they're flexible enough to re-shape. Just learn from your mistakes and don't do laundry before you've had coffee or after too many glasses of wine.
Juana Escudero went to the hospital in her Spainish hometown only to be told she was dead. The now 53-year-old, who was clearly very much alive, discovered there had been a clerical error after a woman with her same name and birthday died in another part of the country. That Juana died on May 13th, 2010. Since then, the living Juana has been technically dead and she's still fighting to fix the error.
In another attempt to prove she is not six feet under, Juana has filed papers to get the grave of the other Juana dug up. No word on if that's been approved yet.

It was in 1883 that the Omaha & Republican Valley Railroad Company began acquiring right-of-way for the railroad from Lincoln to Beatrice. Documents recorded in Lancaster and Gage County show most of the right-of-way deeds being recorded in June, July and August of 1883. Alfred Gales sold a tract of his land to the Omaha & Republican Valley Railroad Company for $400 on August 3, 1883. He sold the remainder to J. H. Millard who then platted the land into 25 blocks containing up to 12 lots each and proceeded to sell the lots at varying costs, averaging approximately $150 per lot. The plat was filed and the first town lot sold on February 4, 1884. In the spring of 1884, the Lincoln to Beatrice railroad branch was completed spanning a distance of 40 miles.
The town was first called Galesburg in honor of the man who owned the ground where the town is located, but in view of the fact that there were so many towns by that name, it was changed to Cortland. The name was suggested by one of the men connected with the railroad town site committee, it being said that it was named after Cortland, New York. Cortland was centrally located being 21 miles south of Lincoln and 19 miles north of Beatrice, making it a convenient shipping location for livestock and grain from existing area farms. The town site was on high ground which sloped gradually to the south. It was a beautiful location, and commanded a splendid view of the surrounding country.
The growth of the town was, indeed, something marvelous. The town had not been advertised or boomed in any way. Those who visited were struck with the natural beauty of the location and its advantages for a business center. In the first few months, 80 lots were sold and between 60 and 75 buildings were completed or in the process of construction; this growth due entirely to its advantageous location in a rich agricultural country.
During the winter and spring of 1884, a number of business houses were built at the north end of town near the railroad tracks on First Street. On the north side of Fourth Street, a depot was built between the main track and the side tracks. The depot was the shipping and receiving point for goods in and out of the area. Locally produced goods such as livestock, grain, butter and cream were shipped out; lumber, coal, apples, seed and livestock all arrived by rail. Passenger traffic via railroad motorcars began with passengers paying fares of $1.30 to Beatrice and $1.80 to Lincoln, and considering that a day's wages in 1884 was $1.00 per day, the fares took more than a day's wages to travel and return. The depot was a telegraph station, handled the transportation of the U.S. mail, and later was made a water station for steam locomotives as water was easily obtainable at that point. A January 1, 1908 news article states, "To name the agents who have attended to the wants of the people and the business of the U.P.R.R. would be too much of a task. Suffice it to say that there have been some fine, gentlemanly, accommodating agents..."
A number of businesses were built when the corn stocks were still standing in rows through Fourth Street; the village having been laid out in a corn field. These buildings, being so much nearer the depot, soon attracted the trade from those businesses at the north end of town, who then secured lots on Fourth Street. During the summer of 1884, both sides of Fourth Street were occupied by business buildings; nearly every industry was represented in the town.
In 1884, wagon loads of grain held approximately 50 bushels. Chas. and G.C. Conant started in the grain buying business. It was said that grain dealers were receiving and shipping from 25 to 100 wagon loads of grain per day. The grain was brought to Cortland from a radius of 5 to 14 miles. It is not known what year the two elevators were constructed in Cortland; however, records indicate it was prior to 1890. The Omaha Elevator Company sat on the south side of Fourth Street directly across from the depot. The elevator was one of large capacity and operated by steam. It had an equipment of machinery for shelling and cleaning corn and also a pair of burrs for grounding feed. At times the streets of town were blocked by teams waiting to unload their corn and often times they would have to camp over night to wait until the next day.
The Nebraska Elevator Company was behind the depot one block to the north on Third Street, adjacent to and east of the sidetracks. In 1903, "the elevator, like all enterprising grain merchants, handled grain in sufficient quantities to sell in the market to the best advantages or hold to suit their pleasure." The elevator had a capacity of 15,000 bushels.
The stock yards were located on the south side of First Street on Union Pacific Railroad land, east of the side tracks and west of Sherman Avenue. The stock yards were holding pens and loading chutes for loading cattle, hogs, and horses that were being shipped or received by rail. An early account in the spring of 1885 states a livestock train paused in Cortland; banners on the cars indicated it was shipped by A.W. Boehm. "One of the first stock buyers in town was Asa Boehm...Mr. Boehm enjoyed a reputation of being a great stock buyer, and one who generally looked out for No. 1." The stock yards were also a convenient location to hold auctions and sales of livestock.
The most common known location of the lumber yard was located directly east of the depot on property owned by the railroad. Hiram Parker and Sons, who had an established lumber and coal business in Beatrice, opened a yard in Cortland when the town first began. In 1907, the lumber yard changed hands to Walker-Schoenthal Co. "They built a long string of sheds so that all their lumber was under cover. Builders could find almost anything used in the building trade, and at prices that were reasonable and just. These gentlemen also kept on hand a large supply of coal of both the hard and soft varieties and are an obliging, accommodating, gentlemanly firm." The yard changed hands many times over the years. Several smaller lumber businesses were located around town, all enjoying an immense trade for a while; some eventually quitting the business or being purchased by other yards.
Allen E. Knox purchased a 25-foot lot on February 8, 1884 for $60. On it he built the Commercial Hotel which sat a short distance west of the railroad depot on the south side of Fourth Street. Gage County Courthouse records show that Mr. Knox conveyed this property to H. H. Silver on April 1, 1885 in consideration of $2,300. During those early years, the hotel changed hands several times to include J. J. Bridges, M. A. Crosby, Joseph Bonebright and W. A. Warner.
The Cortland Hotel was one of the first structures in town. It sat on the northwest corner of Fourth Street, two blocks west of the depot. J. H. Millard sold the lot to George D. Armstrong on February 13, 1884. According to the register of deeds, this property changed hands five times early on. It is not known which transaction converted this structure to a private residence. Frank Burling took ownership March 18, 1908. Mrs. Burling is pictured at right.
The first bank was organized in 1884 known as the Bank of Cortland, located on Fourth Street, one block west of the depot. "The bank has an authorized capital of $50,000. It is now being erected and vault front and safe are now on the road from the east. R. H. Oakley was president. J. H. Ballard was cashier. Jas. S. Scanlon was vice-president." During the panic of 1893, the Bank of Cortland failed but was reopened in May 1895.
In 1910, Cortland's second bank was organized and known as the Farmers State Bank which sat on Fourth Street, a short distance west of the depot. "The officers were Dave Pothast, president; C. P. Potts, vice-president, E. L. Pothast, cashier; J. W. Miltenberger, Fred Hartwig, A. M. Balderson, F. H. Pape and Henry Riley as directors." The bank had an authorized capital of $15,000. Stockholders of this bank were mostly farmers of the vicinity.
When the town was new, the Independent Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) boasted a lodge membership of about three hundred. In 1889, they built a large opera house and lodge hall. "A desire to accumulate fines sufficient to pay for this building caused them to accept any person or anything as members and the lodge was soon compelled to surrender their charter." The opera house was located one block north of Fourth Street. In September 1907, the Modern Woodman of America purchased the building from the I.O.O.F. A 1908 newspaper article states, "Cortland can boast of an opera house and lodge hall as any small town in the state, a building which is now owned by the M.W. of A., the Opera hall of which has a seating capacity from 500 to 600 people and a stage large enough for some of the regular circuit companies, as was but recently demonstrated when the "Pickings from Puck" company visited the town. The upper story of this building is used by the Woodman, the Masons, the O.E.S., the Royal Neighbors and the Highlanders, for their lodge meetings, and is very few nights without a lodge meeting of some order." In January 1911, a new floor was laid in the Opera House for the benefit of the roller skaters.
According to the Gage County Historical Society, School District 55 started in 1872. The first school was located one mile south and a 1/2 mile west of present day Cortland. G. S. Goodban was the first teacher of the district. In 1884, the district purchased property in the southeast part of town and the school was moved. George N. Price had been teaching for several years and was also on the school board. A new location would be secured near the central part of town to build a larger building.
In 1898, "Cortland had reason to be proud of its school, for the educational facilities provided were far in excess of those usually met with in places of this size. The two-story frame building, with its four departments, was frequented each day of the school year by about 200 bright-eyed boys and girls under the tutorship of some of the best educators residing within Nebraska borders. Professor C. H. Kindig was Principal and an instructor of extraordinary ability." The course of study included ten years work prior to graduation. In 1906, Sherman and Pfeiffer were awarded the contract for remodeling and repainting the public school building. The tower had always been a source of annoyance on account of its construction and was rebuilt on a different plan.
In 1874, German Methodist church services were held in a school house three miles north and 3 1/2 miles east of Cortland. It was organized as the Salem Methodist Church in 1875, and became a member of the West German Conference. In 1885, a church was built on the Foster Homestead two miles north and two miles east of Cortland. In 1886, a branch of this church was organized in Cortland and services were held in the school house. In 1890, the original church purchased lots in town and the church building was moved to the new location. The first parsonage was purchased in 1902 for $450.
In 1875, fourteen zealous pioneers, with the aid of Rev. Frederick Alley, organized the Pilgrim Congregational Church and Sunday school in the old Barkey schoolhouse, located five miles west and two and one-half miles south of Cortland. In the summer of 1884 the meetings were transferred to Whites Hall in the new town of Cortland. One year later in 1885 they purchased the Missionary Baptist Church building. Two additions were built in later years.
In 1882, the home of Joseph Krapp, located about one mile southwest of town, served as the Chapel for the first Holy Mass offered in the Cortland area. Later other homes were used. In 1884, when the number of Catholic families had increased to 25, these German and Irish pioneers decided they needed a church in Cortland. After much hard work and many sacrifices their goal was accomplished before the end of the year. The building (left) was erected at a cost of $1,200 and named in honor of St. James. Lumber for the church was hauled by horses and wagons from Crete.
The Missionary Baptist church was mentioned from time to time in newspaper accounts of Cortland. A property deed recorded on November 12, 1884 shows a lot located one block south of Fourth Street as belonging to the Bethel Baptist Church. A Cortland Sun account in 1908 only mentions three churches; it does not list the Baptist Church and a pastor. The church may not have been active in 1908. A deed recorded at the Gage County register of deeds shows Seven Day Adventist ownership starting in 1899. The church occupied a small structure toward the west end of Fourth Street; however, it also was not listed in the 1908 account but is mentioned in later history.
At its beginning, Cortland was wild and wooly. "Two saloonists and several temperance joints assisted materially in making plenty of business for the justice office...." Ed Denton was one of the saloonists from 1884 to about 1898, his establishment being on the north side of Fourth Street.
Businesses emerged of every kind imaginable: doctors and dentists; druggists and apothecary; millinery shops; dressmakers; general mercantile stores; clothing emporiums; hardware and harness stores; farm implement stores; dray businesses; restaurants; boarding houses; furniture and undertaking; barber shops; butcher shops; creameries; feed and seed stores; woodworkers; paint and paperhangers; watches, clocks and silverware; dry goods, notions and groceries; photographers; notary public, real estate and insurance agents.
Liverys and blacksmiths were abundant. H. H. Sprague amd J. T. Harrod were the first liverymen and in their time did an immense business. J. A. Dorning was a veterinarian and liveryman. A 1908 article states, "Dr. J. A. Dorning, the popular liveryman of the town, has been in the business so long at this place that everybody knows Dr. Dorning and his accommodating partner, Bert, his son. These gentlemen keep some of the best driving teams in the country and are ready at any time, rain or shine, mud or no mud, to make drives to the nearby towns or anywhere their patrons demand. They are accommodating gentlemen and well worthy the patronage they receive." The first two blacksmiths in town were Henry H. Silver and Ed Smith. Mr. Smith also did wagon repair, horseshoeing and plow work.
The first newspaper, the Cortland Herald started in 1884 with H. T. Wilson being the editor and proprietor. History records show there were 11 different editors between 1884 and 1900. The Cortland Sun started up in 1897 with M. E. Kerr and H. E. Tweedy as its first editors, changing to H. L. Gardner in 1907.
J. J. Bridges was the first and only lawyer who ever hung out a shingle in Cortland and was among the first settlers here. He had a regular formula for his practice in a justice court which was first to file a motion to dismiss the case after which he would proceed to show the court what he didn't know about the law. He ran the Commercial Hotel for a short time. By 1908 he had moved to Lincoln and become engaged in the real estate business.
Horace P. Clough was Cortland's first postmaster who started the office in the front of his residence on Third Street. There were a number of successors and as such, the post office was moved to many different locations around town. A rural mail route was established in October 1903 with Henry Pfeiffer as the carrier, shown here with his mail route horse. Albert Sausman was another rural route carrier in 1904.
The volunteer fire department had been an active, vital part of this town since its beginning. On January 1, 1890, the Village of Cortland purchased the south 25 feet of I.O.O.F.'s lots. Although much of the early history has not been found, it is known that the Jungmeyer brothers, Alvan and Milton, played an instrumental role in manning the department in its early days. A gear pump that had to be pulled by hand was their first method of fighting fires. A small frame building was erected one-half block north of Fourth Street that housed the fire-fighting equipment, the town hall and the local jail.
On January 21, 1905, a telephone company was formed to purchase a switchboard capable of accommodating 100 drops. The Cortland Telephone Co. received their switchboard on March 20; an expert arrived on March 22 to put it in running order. The board was installed at G H. Jones' store with James Windle as hello girl. In 1909, the telephone company decided to build a new home on Main Street for the telephone central. "The object is to get a family to live in the cottage and look after the telephone nights, thus giving a good night and day service. This will give Cortland another good building on Main Street which will help the looks of things, besides giving the central a permanent home off by itself, with special favors to none and convenient to all."
Organizations in the early years included the Order of Eastern Star, Masons, Knights of Pythias, Modern Woodmen, Independent Order of Odd Fellows, Royal Neighbors, Highlanders, Rebekah and Workmen. In the early 1900's there were a few casual clubs, of the humorous sort, known as the Bachelors Girls Club which consisted of the unmarried women, and an Old Maid Boys Club which consisted of the unmarried men. The Kandle-light Klub was an organization of young married couples whose object was entirely of a social nature; each couple expected to entertain the members one evening during the season; flinch, panic, donkey pillowdeck and music furnished the greater part of the amusements.
Street Fairs were popular galas in the early years. The days generally started early and included events such as speakers addressing the crowds, ball games, sideshows, bands, clowns, parades, business floats and carriages decorated with live flowers, and fireworks. For many years, the parade was headed by the Honorable P. H. James on horseback. One such day on September 13, 1902, the crowd was estimated by conservative outsiders to be not less than 3,500 people.
The country around Cortland had been settled for many years by farmers, who were in thrifty circumstances, their farms being well-developed. This, of course, gave Cortland a splendid business from the start. In this respect, Cortland was more fortunate than towns in a new and undeveloped country. A 1908 Cortland Sun article states, "At the present time the town is on a solid, substantial business basis and for its size is one of the best towns in the state, being surrounded by a splendid farming country with its farms all occupied by prosperous, well-to-do farmers, all of whom are finding wealth in the splendid soil."
