Besides the Plaza Hotel on the Main Plaza, another grand hotel was built around the turn of the century, the Comal Hotel (now Prince Solms Inn). What was the reason for more large hotels in the little town of New Braunfels? Hotels are built to fill a need. The coming of the railroad bringing visitors to the quaint little town, with its Landa Park, was actually the big boost to tourism. At one time Emilie and Theodore Eggeling ran the Plaza Hotel on the Main Plaza and decided that a second large hotel was needed. Let's go back to the roots of the family that made this second hotel possible.
Immigrant Joseph Klein built a little German house in New Braunfels in 1852. That house still stands but not where it was built. It started its 115-year-old life on the property where the Prince Solms Inn is now located on the corner of San Antonio and Market Sts.
Joseph Klein, a single 26-year-old bachelor from Germany first lived with his parents, Stephan and Margaretha Klein who had built their small house next to the Naegelin Bakery on Seguin St. in 1845. This house is also still standing.
Stephan Klein helped his son Joseph construct his corner lot house on San Antonio St. Joseph married widow Johanna Freitag and they moved into the new house.
Records show that Joseph sold his house in 1859 to William Kuse who became a naturalized a citizen the next year. His family consisted of his wife Friedricke, his ten-year-old son Carl, a daughter Emilie, aged six and a son Friedrich, one year old. All the children were born in Prussia except Friedrich. Daughter Emilie would have a big impact on New Braunfels.
William Kuse was a shoemaker and had set up his shop in the house that he bought from Klein. About 40 years later the house was moved to the north of the same lot and resituated about 100 feet from its original location. Then it faced Market St. The reason for this move was an economic one instigated by Emilie Kuse now married to Theodore Eggeling. They had a general store across the street from her parent's house on the corner of San Antonio and Market Sts. (Look at the photo) Theodore and Emilie Kuse Eggeling were successful business people. Together they ran the very successful Plaza Hotel around Main Plaza. Particularly Emilie was considered a successful business woman in New Braunfels.
Around the turn of the century New Braunfels began to attract thousands of visitors who often spent the night in local hotels. Emilie was familiar with what was happening in town and decided that another large hotel was needed. Her parents had been living in the little house on the corner of San Antonio and Market Sts. all this time. Her father had retired from the shoemaking business and she convinced her parents to allow her to move the house to the back of the large lot. Emilie and Theodore would construct a large hotel on this spot.
The Comal Hotel, sometimes called the Eggeling Hotel, built over a period of two years from 1898 to 1900 was another masterpiece by builder Christian Herry. Built in Texas Victorian style, the two story brick building has maintained its original exterior walls to this day. The bricks were made in McQueeney where a certain clay was located. The walls are 18" thick, the window sills of white limestone with cypress wood boards are 20" wide. The building consists of a full basement, two floors and an attic.
Rooms had no closets but were provided with private basins, pitchers and chamber pots. In the back yard was a privy. At the front of the building on the second floor was a luggage hoist, a pulley used to raise and lower trunks to the upstairs porch. There was a large dining room/parlor that became a favorite of townspeople.
Upon completion of the hotel, the Eggeling family, consisting of four children, moved into the hotel. As these children grew older, they became a part of the operation of the hotel. Son Adolph drove a dray (stout cart or truck) to haul luggage from the train to the hotel. Two carriages were driven by family members. With time, family members were involved in running the hotel.
The Comal Hotel (now the Prince Solms Inn) is situated on a half-acre lot. The Eggeling family utilized the lot for their business. They would serve food from the garden and kept pigs, cows, and chickens. They had a feed store. Stories tell of guests wanting fresh milk, and Emilie would go out to the cow lot, milk the cow, and bring it to the guest.
For a brief time in 1919, a hospital was set up in the hotel by Ida Heulitte, R.N. complete with operating rooms, emergency ward, and private rooms. All doctors were welcome to use the facilities.
After the death of both Eggelings with Emilie in 1930, family members helped run the hotel until the property was sold to Bill and Nan Dillen They bought the hotel, the Klein house, and the feed store. The Dillens refurbished the hotel and brought the structure up to modern standards with electricity, heating, and plumbing. Bill and Nan Dillen were responsible for saving many historic buildings in New Braunfels.
Dillen was the one who named the hotel, "The Prince Solms Inn." The Dillens added historic features from other structures. Cypress shutters inside were joined by wooden pegs and purchased from the original courthouse in Marlin, Tx. The doors leading to the basement were obtained from the Sam Bennett mansion in San Antonio. When the Dillens added a patio next to the outside basement entrance, stones from the old original Comal County Prison that was torn down were used. This prison building was located behind Chase Bank building and the words, "Comal County Prison" can be seen carved in the entry of the basement. For the cover of the patio, old cypress and cedar timbers were obtained from the first woolen mill-steam laundry on Comal St. Also from that site are two large doors that are used as entrances from the patio to the storage area.
The Dillens sold the property, but the sale was unsuccessful and the Dillens reclaimed the property in 1977. They sold it that same year to Betty Mitchell and Marg Crumbaker. Much of the information for this story came from research of these two ladies.
Present owner is Al Buttross who has owned the Inn since 2007. New Braunfels is so fortunate to have some of these original structures and thankful for the people that made that possible.

For a truly unforgettable experience, look no further than the jewel of the southern hemisphere – South Africa. Whether you're after a relaxing retreat, beautiful beaches, or an exciting safari adventure, the culturally diverse country of South Africa has it all. With a variety of vastly different geographical and topographical locations, you could be driving along the lusciously green garden route or the mountainous Drakensberg Mountains.
A perfect holiday during the dark cold winter months, January is the height of South Africa's summer. With it being such a huge landscape temperatures can vary, so always check locally for specific weather conditions.
Whilst it's often been the desired destination of young backpackers, for the spritely amongst us there's nowhere better than majestic beaches of Thailand. The popular resort of Phuket resembles a bustling Mediterranean hot spot, but Krabi and the Phi Phi islands are altogether more distinctive, even if they're just as popular. Also, don't forget the islands of Koh Samui, Koh Phangan and Koh Tao; perfect for sun seekers, keen walkers, budding Scuba divers, and anyone who is looking for a slice of paradise during our late winter.
With 2014 and 2016 set to be defining years for Brazil, given their hosting of the both the FIFA Football World Cup and The Olympic Games, respectively, now is the best time to visit this fascinating country. From sun-drenched beaches to dense rainforest and mountainous peaks, Brazil boasts an incredibly diverse landscape, as well as an economy on the up. As such, it's getting a great deal costlier to travel here, and with two of the largest sporting events to take place over the next two years, it's only going to get more popular. Take it all in before it gets too crowded, because this is one beautiful place to experience.
If the summer sun isn't your thing, 'Czech out' (we couldn't resist) the vibrant cultural and historical city of Prague, in the Czech Republic. You'll be forgiven for thinking that Prague is just known for its beer and pubs, but there is much, much more to see. Hrad Castle is a popular attraction for its fairy-tale setting. Next door is the gorgeous St. Vitus's Cathedral and if you manage to scale the 287 steps of the South Tower, you'll see stunning views of this enigmatic city. There are plenty of hidden gems to discover as you walk along the cobblestone streets. Perfect for wining, dining and shopping – it certainly is a perfect winter city break.
A festive wonderland during the winter months, Vienna is packed full of history and culture, making it an ideal winter location.

Perfect to eat, see and do; Vienna is a must for any budding winter holiday makers.
It goes without saying, but New York is one of the greatest cities in the world; and the cold winter months are the perfect time to see the city that never sleeps in action – it's almost magical. Start your morning with a warm coffee and a hot bagel in one of New York's many legendary coffee shops. Take a romantic walk in central park, shop until you drop in the city's famous shopping destinations and make sure you take in all the landmarks; the Empire State Building, Times Square, Statue of Liberty, 5th Avenue, the Rockefeller Centre, the 9/11 memorial, and much more. Oh, and don't forget to hail a cab.
The most popular cruise area in the world, the Caribbean is visited all year round by cruise-goers in search of family-fun activities and sizzling sun, especially during our colder months. Take in the famous ports of Antigua, Barbados, St. Kitts, St Lucia and many more. Whether it's gorgeous beaches, fine cuisine or a bit of culture is what you're after, a cruise around the Caribbean has exactly what you need – including much better weather than the UK.
Get away from the cold and wet of Britain, and take in the Mediterranean's premier spots whilst they are less crowded. From the bustling cities of Barcelona and Marseille to the cultural and historical meccas of Malaga and Civitavecchia (Rome), there's plenty to see and do on a cruise of the Med. With prices being a great deal cheaper than Caribbean cruises, this is the perfect option for anyone looking to get away this season.

Abortion in NM: What's at Stake
Rachael Maestas
rachaelsews@gmail.com
Medical Providers Call on New Mexicans to Respect a Woman's Private Decisions about Abortion
More than 50 New Mexican medical providers run full page ads in three papers calling for respect for a woman's private medical decisions
NEW MEXICO—Today, 58 New Mexico medical providers called on New Mexicans to respect a woman's private decisions about abortion in an open letter run in the Albuquerque Journal, Santa Fe New Mexican, and Las Cruces Sun News. The ads are part of the Respect New Mexico Women campaign, a statewide effort to protect access to reproductive healthcare and end the shame and stigma surrounding abortion.
"Medical providers are the people we trust to help us get the care we need and are an essential part of our communities," said ACLU of New Mexico Field Organizer Alanna Offield, who worked with the signers to place the print ads. "They understand that deeply personal decisions about abortion belong between a woman, her family, and her medical provider—no one else. Medical providers are tired of politicians and extremists attempting to interfere in these private decisions, and have chosen to stand up and demand respect for their patients."
The full page ads feature excerpts from a statement of support hosted at respectNMwomen.org:
"We, medical providers from across New Mexico, draw upon our medical training and expertise to support a woman's ability to access a full range of reproductive health services, including abortion. We recognize that the decision to have an abortion is deeply personal and should be left to a woman and her family in consultation with her medical provider. Our code of ethics is grounded in providing the best care possible to our patients. We believe deeply in ending the shame and stigma associated with abortion and increasing access for all women to a full range of reproductive healthcare options. New Mexico has a long history of valuing and protecting the dignity of all women. It is time to leave decisions about abortion in the hands of a woman, her family, and her medical providers."
The signers of the letter come from communities throughout New Mexico and include registered nurses, nurse practitioners, physicians, medical students, therapists, certified nurse midwifes, and other medical professionals. Medical professionals can add their name to the statement of support online at respectNMwomen.org.

The Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) captured this unprecedented image of two circumstellar disks, in which baby stars are growing, feeding with material from their surrounding birth disk. The complex network of dust structures distributed in spiral shapes remind of the loops of a pretzel. These observations shed new light on the earliest phases of the lives of stars and help astronomers determine the conditions in which binary stars are born.
One cosmic pretzel for two baby stars
When astronomers looked at this new ALMA image, it reminded them of a pretzel – a pastry shaped like a knot. But there are no real pretzels in space, of course. So what does the image really show? And what are the two bright spots in the center of the cosmic pretzel?
In fact, this is a picture of the growth of stellar twins: two stars that are born at the same time, out of the same cloud of gas and dust. The ALMA observations reveal how gas from the surrounding cloud ends up in the two stars.
In the case of a single star, the gas accretes into a flattened, rotating disk. At the very center of the disk, the gas falls onto the forming star. Such a 'circumstellar disk' is shaped more like a pizza than a pretzel.
With this particular binary star, things are different. Yes, both baby stars are surrounded by a disk. The two disks can be seen as the bright spots in the ALMA image. But because the two stars orbit each other, they stir up the gas and dust in their vicinity.
As a result, gas from the surrounding cloud does not accrete evenly into the two disks. Instead, the gas flows in huge loops and spirals: the pretzel-shaped structure.
Earlier observations of the young stellar twins could only discern one large blob of radiation. Thanks to the sharp vision of ALMA, astronomers have now also imaged the two disks, and revealed the funny shape of the larger structure.
The new result will help scientists to understand the birth of binary stars. An important goal, since most of the stars in the universe are part of a binary system.
The cosmic pretzel surrounds a young binary star known as [BHB2007] 11. The binary star sits in a dark, dusty cloud known as Barnard 59 (after astronomer Edward Barnard). Barnard 59 is part of the much larger Pipe Nebula in the constellation Ophiuchus, the Serpent Bearer. The nebula is between 600 and 700 light-years away. The two stars orbit each other at a distance of some 4.2 billion kilometers – about the distance between the Sun and the outermost planet Neptune. Each star is surrounded by a circumstellar disk of gas and dust about the size of the asteroid belt in our own solar system: some 800 million kilometers across.
The ALMA observations of the young binary star [BHB2007] 11 in the Pipe Nebula were carried out by a team of seven astronomers, led by Felipe Alves of the Max Planck Institute of Extraterrestrial Physics in Germany. Felipe worked together with colleagues from Germany, Spain and Brazil. The team published their results in Science.

DALLAS, Ga. -- Now that the weather is getting warmer, people are more inclined to leave their windows open during the day.
Unfortunately, this simple summertime gesture can often have devastating consequences.
The Paulding County Sheriff's Office has recently experienced a number of reports of toddlers falling out of windows. So far, there have been no fatalities, but some of the children experienced very serious injuries.
Many parents assume that window screens will prevent falls, but one case involved a toddler who pushed a screen out before falling.
Falls from windows result in an average of about eight deaths yearly to children ages five and younger, while an additional 3,300 children are treated in emergency rooms, according to the Consumer Product Safety Committee (CPSC). On average, about 34 percent of children need to be hospitalized after falling from a window.
CANTON, Ga. -- For this week's installment of Best Spots, we've compiled a list of the best summer camps for your children, this year.
YMCA Centers are the nation's largest provider of child care services and there are a number of YMCA centers around the metro area. According to their website, YMCA's provide "family-centered, values-based programs" and they support the "physical, intellectual, emotional and social development of children". Camp charges vary depending on if membership.
DALLAS, Ga. -- An absolutely hilarious night of improv comedy is coming to the Dallas Theater (208 Main Street, Dallas, 30132) next month.
Off the Cobb, a local improvisational comedy group, will perform two shows on Saturday, June 4 at Paulding County's hometown theater.
The improv troupe has headlined at the Punchline in Atlanta. Its shows are fast-paced and interactive, allowing the audience to help the actors create scenes on the spot; no two Off the Cobb performances are ever alike.
Off the Cobb's first show on June 4 will be a children's production at 5 p.m.
CANTON, Ga. – Take a family trip and participate in a remote history lesson at the same time. Visit the Etowah Indian Mounds in Cartersville to see the last standing artifacts from the Mississippian Native Americans. This group inhabited the area from 1000-1550.
According to Georgia State Parks, only about nine percent of this site has been excavated and examination of the surrounding artifacts revealed that the Etowah Indians were a society that was rich in ritual and habit.
Historians think, one of the mounds excavated was used as a "platform" for the home of the priest-chief. Seemingly, the priest-chief needed to live on a higher elevation than his tribe to "monitor" his people. Another excavated mound was a tomb for a nobleman in the tribe.
Visitors are able to tour the museum, the ruins and listen to docents as they share their interpretation of what the community once was.

Why SUPERMAN'S PAL JIMMY OLSEN Is One Of This Summer's Most Anticipated Comics
By Anthony Composto - EIC
One of this summer's most hotly anticipated comics is a Superman title that isn't about the Man of Steel at all, but his pal Jimmy Olsen.
Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen hits comic shops July 17th, from storytellers Matt Fraction and Steve Lieber, colorist Nathan Fairbairn, and letterer Clayton Cowles. Over the course of 12 issues, the Daily Planet photographer will tour the "bizarre underbelly of the DC Universe" in a series that DC promises will end in Jimmy's death.
The hype for this book is high; the comics community has been itching to get their hands on it since its original announcement. And after the Superman: Leviathan Rising Special gave readers a taste of what to expect from Jimmy's story, the hype has only increased. But why? Why is a strange, campy maxi-series about one of Superman's supporting characters poised to become the breakout book of the summer?
Well first, let's look at the team behind the book, specifically Fraction and Lieber. Both men are seasoned veterans when it comes to humor books, and humor books surrounding superheroes in particular. Fraction's Hawkeye (with artist David Aja) became an instant classic when it launched in 2012, and Lieber's Superior Foes of Spider-Man (with writer Nick Spencer) similarly gained cult status when it came out the following year. Both series drew attention for their atypical portrayal of superhero (and supervillain) life. They poked fun at what it was like being "lower" level characters in a world with literal gods. Jimmy Olsen looks like it's going for a very similar vibe.
Outside of their superhero work, Fraction's Sex Criminals (co-created with Chip Zdarsky) is one of the funniest comics of this millennium. What other comic takes time away from telling its story to make fun of its own creators? SexCrims is blunt, absurd, and oh so wonderfully meta (all of which bodes well for Jimmy Olsen, as we'll get to in a little bit). Meanwhile, Lieber's The Fix (co-created with Nick Spencer) has killer visual comedy, showing off the artist's hilarious timing, transitions, facial expressions, and more. Both of these guys have regularly used the medium in new and interesting ways, tapping into the full potential of comic books. With these two at the helm, Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen is sure to be an uproariously good time.
This page is a perfect representation of Lieber's abilities. Just look at how perfectly he captures a tone and makes you laugh in just six textless panels.
Putting aside the creative team, readers seem to love superhero comics that poke fun at the absurdity of the genre. As great as these stories are, they're built on tropes and cliches, and they force you to suspend your disbelief to an unparalleled degree. That's what makes it so refreshing when a series comes along that addresses and embraces the silliness. It's like the creators are saying, "Look, we're in on the joke too. We know this stuff gets cheesy, but that's part of why we love it so much!"
Jimmy Olsen looks to have its tongue planted firmly in its cheek. And because it's tied so closely to Superman – the OG superhero, whose comics have been the gold standard for corny, predictable moments – it is in the best position to take shots at the genre. Just look at this moment that Lieber shared on his social media:
This is a DC comic, a SUPERMAN comic, that's calling out the Man of Steel for his goofy history. It's not mean-spirited; it's as much a celebration of these kinds of moments as it is playful ribbing. Other artwork out there in the ether shows gorillas in wedding attire chasing after Jimmy (a lot of the available artwork is of Jimmy being chased by various people and creatures, actually). You can see another page below where Jimmy turns into a giant turtle creature. This is clearly a series that's looking to tackle the ridiculousness of comics head-on, and with lots of love.
Jimmy Olsen is the perfect character to do this kind of exploration with. Like Hawkeye and Superior Foes showed us, these stories work best from a lower level character, because it's closer to where we (the readers) are. It's closer to our point-of-view, making it a more immersive experience. It doesn't get much "lower level" than Jimmy. Jimmy is just a newspaper photographer. He's an everyman, and not in the same way that Spider-Man is an everyman. Jimmy has no powers. He's just a regular guy living in a world of gods and monsters. What happens to Jimmy is what would happen to any of us readers if we lived in the DC Universe. That's what makes him the ideal window into this world.
Giant. Turtle. Creature.
"I think there's a lot of storytelling power in the juxtaposition of the ordinary and the extraordinary, and Jimmy is all about that," said Lieber in an interview with The Los Angeles Times. It's "a chance to be funny in the world full of much larger than life characters."
So why should you be excited for Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen? Take two of the smartest, funniest, most creative dudes in comics, give them a character with no powers that they can put through the ringer, and let them go nuts stretching the absurdity of superhero comics to its limit. You tell me: what's not to be excited about?
Tell us in the comments why YOU'RE excited for Superman's Pal Jimmy Olsen!
And keep reading for some bonus preview images from the series!

Phototropins are photoreceptor proteins that regulate blue light-dependent biological processes for efficient photosynthesis in plants and algae. The proteins consist of a photosensory domain that responds to the ambient light and an output module that triggers cellular responses. The photosensory domain of phototropin from Chlamydomonas reinhardtii contains two conserved LOV (light-oxygen-voltage) domains with flavin chromophores. Blue light triggers the formation of a covalent cysteine-flavin adduct and upregulates the phototropin kinase activity.

'Shiveringly delicate': Marina Stepanska's Falling (2017), with Darya Plakhtiy and Andriy Seletskiy.
Watch a trailer for Necktie Youth.
A film such as their recent addition, Falling – one of the few I recognised from my festival travels, and fondly so – would be enough to justify a month's subscription on its own. A shiveringly delicate 2017 debut feature from Ukrainian director Marina Stepanska, it's a first-blush portrait of young love that doubles subtly as a new generation's essay on guarded hopes and stunted futures in a conflict-raddled corner of Europe. Where the Ukrainian crisis has inspired a surfeit of nightmarish, concrete-hard documentaries and features from auteurs such as Sergei Loznitsa, Stepanska's film casts a gentler but equally incisive gaze on those managing everyday life in the cracks. For beautiful twentysomethings Anton and Katya, the prospect of escape and romantic fulfilment appear to be very separate happy endings. You can see why commercial-minded distributors passed on Falling's lovely, low-key blend of dreamy melancholy and bruised optimism, but it deserves your attention.
Glenn Close may well win an Oscar for her tightly coiled, gradually raging performance as the long-suppressed, secret-keeping spouse of a blowhard Nobel laureate; the film itself, however, is a bit wan.
Like a more internalised companion piece to 120 Beats Per Minute, Malaysian-American director Yen Tan's elegiac Aids-era drama follows a young, closeted gay man's Texas homecoming with piercing tenderness.
Tricksy production design and a gamely hammy Cate Blanchett give horror director Eli Roth's bland attempt at Potter-style family fantasy a classier veneer than it merits.
The rotoscoped animation is strikingly stylised, but real, troubled human life bustles angrily beneath the technique in Ali Soozandeh's witty, locally controversial mosaic of rebellious citizens in Iran's law-bound capital.
Jean Cocteau's inventive, ravishing interpretation of the Orpheus myth carries all its silvery beauty over to this Blu-ray reissue – carefully restored from its original 1950 nitrate negative.

P.S. 170 X (The Esteban Vicente Early Childhood School)
Grades: 3-K, Pre-K, K-2
1598 Townsend Avenue
3-K through 2nd grade; dance, swimming, puppetry and theater arts
No outdoor play space; ends after 2nd grade
PS 170 on Townsend Avenue in the Bronx, is an arts-focused early childhood school serving 3-year-olds (3-K) through 2nd-grade students. Located around the corner from the Mt. Eden Avenue subway stop, it shares a building with High Bridge Day Care, an early education program. Hallways are narrow and there is no outdoor playground, yet PS 170's teachers have years of experience working with young children, and students get a chance to dance, swim and act in theatrical productions.
The school has a safe and orderly tone according to school surveys. Teachers tend toward traditional and academic lessons rather than play-based learning. Hands-on projects and art take place mostly in special classes such as puppetry or circus arts rather than during regular classroom time, the school secretary confirmed by phone. This is an approach valued by parents, who say they like the attention paid to math, reading and writing skills here.
PS 170 has long been committed to the arts, which they say help boost academic achievement, social skills, creativity and self-esteem, according to the school's yearly plan. The school has had a long and fruitful partnership with Marquis Studios, an arts organization working in NYC public schools. In puppetry workshops, children create their own characters and settings, and write scripts, connecting writing, art and reading. Marquis also provides classes in visual arts, percussion and circus arts, and there is an established partnership with the Bronx Museum of Art.
Classroom teachers work with the dance teacher and Marquis Studios to launch an in-depth study of a country, such as Mexico or Italy, culminating in a show that features dance and presentations reflecting what the students have learned. Additionally, there is a classical ballet program for select students who show promise and interest. The dance teacher has steered participants to Ballet Tech and School of American Ballet, among other programs, according to the school website.
Teachers pay careful attention to children's language needs. Those who speak only Spanish are placed in bilingual classes and are introduced to English gradually. Once their grasp of English is stronger, they may switch to English-only classes with extra help in small groups.
There is no outdoor play space but children may play games, chat or watch movies in the cafeteria during recess. Second graders swim at the New Settlement Community Center.
Enrollment is down—due in part to more charter schools in the neighborhood that go through elementary, middle or even high school age—although, the secretary said PS 170's numbers often increase by the end of September. A 3-K class opened in fall 2019, and a pre-k will follow in September 2020, further stabilizing enrollment. Students move into 3rd grade at one of several neighborhood schools depending on their zone.
ADMISSIONS: The zone for PS 170 overlaps with PS 294 and PS 311. Some students from PS 199 and PS 70 also have priority depending on their address. The school has had space for applicants in recent years, the school secretary said, although the 3-K class was full when we spoke by phone the first week of September.

There are indeed special people in our lives who never leave us, even after they are gone. As we approach our first Christams without our dear friend and mentor, Angela, we pause to remember the wonderful memories and legacy she left behind.
Rosaleen Kelly, a close colleague and friend of Angela's put together a lovely tribute to her after her passing in January, which we share with you here.
We keep Angela's family in our thoughts and prayers at this time of year, and are forever grateful for the energy, enthusiasm and passion she brought to kinesiology and CAM therapies.

A Mountain Range Christmas: Why the Baby in the Manger Is Also the Lion on the Throne
Image by Mallory Henderson
As we head toward another Christmas—and a renewed time of remembrance of the fulfillment of the prophecies that God gave for millennia concerning the Christ—it would do us good to step back and consider the fact that the Old Testament prophecies about Christ were often not time-specific, neatly packaged prophecies but rather mountain-ranges of prophecy about all that the Savior would be and do in both his first and second coming.
At this time of year, our minds often turn to the prophecies concerning the virgin who would conceive and bear a Son whose name would be Emmanuel (Isa. 7:14) and prophecies of the child who would be born whose name would be Wonderful Counsellor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Princes of Peace (Isa. 9:6), and of the One who would be ruler over Israel—who would be from everlasting—would be born in the little town of Bethlehem (Micah 5:2). We love to look back with delight as we see the way in which these prophecies, given so long before God fulfilled them, were so specifically and clearly fulfilled in the birth of Jesus.
The Old Testament prophecies about Jesus foretold both his first and second coming.
However, we often forget that the Old Testament spoke of another dimension of the advent of the Christ. The entire Old Testament pointed forward to the coming Savior—who, in his work on the cross and in his return to judge the world in righteousness—would bring about in the consummation the salvation and judgment of all men.
Louis Berkhof, in his book Principles of Biblical Interpretation, illustratively explained how it is that the prophecies made about Christ in the pages of the Old Testament appear more like mountain ranges than mountain tops. He wrote:
The element of time is a rather negligible character in the prophets. While designations of time are not wanting altogether, their number is exceptionally small. The prophets compressed great events into a brief space of time, brought momentous movements close together in a temporal sense, and took them in at a single glance. This is called "the prophetic perspective," or as Delitzsch calls it "the foreshortening of the prophet's horizon." They looked upon the future as the traveller does upon a mountain range in the distance. He fancies that one mountain-top rises up right behind the other, when in reality they are miles apart. Cf. the prophets respecting the Day of the Lord and the two-fold coming of Christ.[1]
We see how this is played out in the way in which the elderly Simeon spoke of the destiny of the baby Jesus. "This child," he said, "is destined for the fall and rising of many in Israel, and for a sign which will be spoken against (yes, a sword will pierce through your own soul also), that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed" (Luke 2:34-35 NKJV).
Simeon was tying together all that the Old Testament was saying about the work of Jesus in both his first and second coming. This is how Jesus could speak about events that were centered on his second coming—typified by events in his first (e.g., the destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70)—and the disciples thought that they would be fulfilled in their lifetime (Matt. 24).
John the Baptist struggled to come to terms with this as well. Having pointed to Jesus while making that grand declaration, "Behold, the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world," John seemed to have doubted whether Jesus really was the long-awaited Redeemer. When he was in prison, John sent messengers to Jesus to ask him, "Are you the Coming One or do we look for another?" (Matt. 11:3 NKJV). What accounted for this stumbling in doubt after making such a bold and accurate pronouncement about Jesus?
The Messiah would bring about both salvation and judgment.
John was reflecting on what the Old Testament said about the Redeemer coming to judge. Remember that John proclaimed not just that Jesus was "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world" but also that
"His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire." (Luke 3:17 ESV)
John expected the judgment of the nations—not simply the salvation of people—in the first coming of Christ. John was looking at the mountain range of Old Testament prophecy about Christ. Our Lord's gracious response to one who had served him so faithfully was an appeal to one particular prophecy in Isaiah:
And he answered them, "Go and tell John what you have seen and heard: the blind receive their sight, the lame walk, lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, the poor have good news preached to them. And blessed is the one who is not offended by me." (Luke 7:22-23)
Jesus was, of course, pointing out that the gracious healings he was performing bore witness to the messianic character of his Person and ministry. They were proofs—drawn from Isaiah 35:5-6—that he was indeed the Christ. The appeal to Isaiah did not set aside the other mountain tops of prophecy about his work of judgment—it was merely the Savior pointing out the first set of mountains in the mountain range of prophecy about him.
We cannot separate the baby in the manger from the Lion on the throne.
If John the Baptist's error was to want to stand back and look at the mountain range rather than at the contours of the mountain tops, it is safe to say that ours is the opposite error. We have difficulty holding together the gracious character of Jesus' first appearance with the both gracious and wrathful character of his second.
We tend to focus more on the first coming with its shouts of salvation rather than on the second with its promised shout of salvation and judgment. In a sense, we often wrongly separate the baby in the manger from the Lion on the throne. We have to learn to look at both the mountain tops and the mountain range. We do so by looking at the whole Christ in the whole of the Scriptures.
As we again enter in on a time of special meditation on the wonder of God manifest in the flesh—come a baby in the manger—let us also meditate on the promised return of God glorified in the flesh—coming as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah. Let us learn to search the Old Testament to see the mountain tops of prophecy about Christ, but let us do so recognizing the mountain range of which it is a part. Let us celebrate all that the baby in Bethlehem means concerning the promised salvation and judgment of the world. It is all united in the one eternal and everlasting Christ—the just God and Savior.

Another option than Google search: Duckduckgo?
I found it mentioned in a blog Here is a link.
Has anyone here heard of it, got opinions?
Re: Another option than Google search: Duckduckgo?
I had a look at it a while back (I think it was briefly discussed here) and at the time it was perhaps a bit limited. But now you've reminded me about it, it seems to have matured quite a lot now and I'm going to use it as my default search engine for a bit to see how it goes.
As Google steadily becomes more and more invasive, there's plenty of reason to look at alternatives, and duckduckgo looks like one of the better ones.
Yes, it is a good project, free and community supported. The search results are very fast and relevant and best of all you have an easy to use settings/config menu (bottom right of page in Opera) where you can even change the colour settings. It is a simple click and save to add DDG to your search toolbar too.
No adverts ( though they may appear), no tracking of any kind and a much cleaner,clearer results screen with the added option of WOT ratings without the need for the WOT toolbar running on your browser.
For family use the default SAFE setting appears much more stringent and searches for expletives and suggestive terms flag up a no results notice, where as Google still offers results that are unsavoury.
Takes you straight to footwear then!
You are a very quick learner renluop !

When you just move into a house, you come up with meals using whatever you have on hand. In my case, I had a ton of freezer vegetables and lots of pantry items that were ready and available. However, while we were doing the big painting and kitchen renovations, we ordered take out almost every night.
And it's not like I don't love the option of no cooking and no dishes, but ordering out gets old after a while. Sometimes you just want to make things the way you like them prepared.
We've been making Lauren's Bang Bang Chicken for a while now, but I decided to adapt her sauce and make it into this vegetarian clean-out-your-pantry dish. Perfect for new homeowners!
It was a quick meal to whip up and so delicious! It was slightly spicy, sweet and creamy, all in one! Plus, there are loads of vegetables throughout the dish, perfect for added nutrition!
Happy Cleaning Out Your Pantry!
In a large pan over medium heat, heat the olive oil, peas, edamame, corn chickpeas and spinach together until warm.

Home Features New Release for Hot Gay Book Series "Boystown"
New Release for Hot Gay Book Series "Boystown"
The gay book series Boystown, about the lives and loves of family and friends whose stories intertwine with Chicago's Boystown neighborhood as a backdrop, has gained thousands of loyal followers over the past couple of years. When Hotspots talked to writer and creator Jake Biondi earlier this year, he was hoping that Boystown would make the leap from books to television.
Now, as the third season of Boystown is becoming available for purchase this month, he has some good news to share with Hotspots about his plans for the series on the small screen.
I was glad to be able to sit down and talk with Jake Biondi about these recent developments in an exclusive Hotspots interview.
Give us an update with regard to Boystown's possible plans for television.
There are two different TV producers who have already reached out to me and said that they think it would be great for television. They're both based in Hollywood but one is from Chicago, and I think he really connected with it, being from there. I'm in conversations with them now to option the book series, and if we make an agreement, we can start the casting process from there. After that, I want to introduce the series to investors and also to television networks.
Tell us about the third season of Boystown. Without giving too much away, which big plots will be covered in this book?
The main storylines involve the resolution of the explosion that ended season two, the search for the fourth Mancini brother, and the fallout from Jesse's plan to break up his mother and her husband. Those are the three main storylines I can discuss without giving away who lives and dies from the event at the end of the second book.
Fan reaction also inspired me to explore the Cole and Derek relationship more in this book, we learn more about Gino, there is more of a focus on Justin, and the fans really wanted to see Joyelle with a new love interest, so I explore that as well.
The third season of Boystown is available via paperback and for e-readers on May 4. To purchase your copy of the third season (as well as seasons one or two if you haven't done so), visit jakebiondi.com.

The name field of a standard contact form is a tricky thing. Because there's a few things the designer must consider. Firstly, as pointed out by Luke Wroblewski, people (fact: your users could be people) think of their entire name as one entity of information.
His suggestion was to just have one field for the user's entire name. It's so simple! Problem solved.
In other words, the simplest possible solution, immensely complicates things. Sort of misses the point of having a simple solution in the first place.
So in summary, we need a field that appears to the user to treat their entire name as a single entity of information, but allows the user to make it clear to the developer which is their first name and which is their last. Without realising that's what they're doing. We want to avoid the situation where the person might type their entire name into the "First name" field. Or when they put a complicated name into a "Name" field.

Home / Anarchism / Anathema: Technological Progress & The Modern World
Posted on May 16, 2018 by enough14 — Leave a comment
Anathema: Technological Progress & The Modern World
A piece from Anathema Volume 4 Issue 5: "The life of an anti-capitalist under capitalism is often a life of compromise, for fear of imprisonment or death at the hands of the state, but we aspire to be so much more – and those times that appear as compromise may only be a disguise to keep us free as we continue to escalate our conflict."
Originally published in Anathema Volume 4 Issue 5.
In an interview about his new book on precision and the modern world, Simon Winchester questioned whether we had gone too far. When making things to withstand such incredible tolerances, the components have to be incredibly precise, otherwise you have the example he gave of an airplane wing becoming irreparably damaged in flight due to a fraction of a millimeter of an error. He elaborated that we might be "in danger of fetishizing precision," constructing our lives around it, and losing respect for simple skills and hand-made things.
You might notice that we don't usually advocate half-measures in these pages. The life of an anti-capitalist under capitalism is often a life of compromise, for fear of imprisonment or death at the hands of the state, but we aspire to be so much more – and those times that appear as compromise may only be a disguise to keep us free as we continue to escalate our conflict. The recent spate of communiques surrounding May Day seems to attest to that.
During one of the May Day speeches beside City Hall, a member of the the Radical Education Department suggested that, "we need to go on the offensive" – and they are more right than they know. But with the continuation of absolute atrocities against the earth and its inhabitants (e.g. poisoned water, poisoned air, massive deforestation, indigenous genocide, racist murders by police), we would have a long way to go before we overcame our defensive position – meaning it is only more necessary that we attack, and do so by every means available.
"By insurrectional practice we mean the revolutionary activity that intends to take the initiative in the struggle and does not limit itself to waiting or to simple defensive responses to attacks by the structures of power." – For an Antiauthoritarian Insurrectionist International
In a recent report by Counterpunch, it was put forth that environmentalists contribute to deforestation due to their consistent compromises with the state, maintaining the course of removing what very little remains of an already decimated landscape. Similarly, marching in the streets over those aforementioned atrocities, and asking the authorities in charge of those that committed them to address that "injustice," doesn't even begin to get to the point. Relying on accrued examples of earth-devastating malfeasance by a drilling company, as some residents are doing in "opposition" to the Mariner East 2 pipeline, again, doesn't halt the problem – and doesn't really address the the technological advances that allow for horizontal drilling, which has similarly made new advances in further contaminating our groundwater.
And what do they gain for their sacrifices? "Electronics-recycling innovator is going to prison for trying to extend computers' lives." On April 29th, it was reported that "Mahwah, NJ is fining Ramapough [Lenape Indians protesting proposed pipeline] up to $42,500 per day for prayer and sacred altar retroactively since March 29, 2018." Bureaucracy prevails, as Mumia can't even get a new trial under progressive DA Larry Krasner, despite lying and tampering by cops involved in testimony and evidence gathering, and overt racism by the judge. Whether or not you believe he did it (which really shouldn't matter anyway), by the state's own logic he should get a new trial.
The food and water in prisons, among other conditions in those modern slave plantations, have contributed to riots occurring in recent months – months ahead of a proposed prison strike beginning in August.
Meanwhile, the food and water we consume on the outside is also less nutritious than the wild foods that persisted before agriculture, and incredibly tainted. Industrial food production has recently contributed to E. coli outbreaks in Romaine Lettuce and ready-to-eat salads produced in PA, listeria contamination of milk in Lancaster County, staphylococcal enterotoxin and clostridial toxin contamination of beef, the contamination of sausages and beef in two different states with hard pieces of plastic – and that's only since our last printing.
"Nearly 70% of Chicago's tap water tested positive for brain damaging lead," reads a headline, in the continuing tradition of poisonings that still affect Flint, MI; Chester, PA; and Philadelphia, among so many others.
The New York Times reported last month that a Sperm Whale was killed by 64 pounds of trash that clogged its intestines and stomach, further stating that "as the amount of plastic in the ocean grows every year, some scientists believe that debris might kill more animals than the effects of climate change." Yes, more than climate change: the human-induced mass-extinction event.
"Today's ecological crises are a warning sign that capitalism itself is not sustainable. The problem is not that we lack reformist legislation; the problem is that our economic system fundamentally disconnects us from the environment." Additionally, those technologies developed alongside the growth of that economic system contribute to our alienation from the natural world and to the economic system's control over our lives.
The potential expiration of "Net Neutrality" on June 11th is not the end of freedom on the internet. Being conceptualized as a "right," provided by the large corporations that provide the necessary infrastructure for that communication, means that legal use of the internet is already mediated and therefore not free. Freedom means having power – not the power to control other people or their means to communicate (consider how internet service providers already slow down your connection over particular downloads), but the power to control the circumstances of one's own life. You do not have freedom if anyone else has power over you, no matter how benevolently, tolerantly and permissively that power may be exercised.
"Facebook harvested 3.5 billion Instagram images without warning their owners" until much later, as they built an Artificial Intelligence photo recognition system. French police were recently revealed to also be using AI to "predict protests and neutralise them," and "Facebook terms now ban posting photos of undercover agents infiltrating your political group, protest, etc." – those very same infiltrators that have entrapped activists leading to long prison sentences when no crime had been committed (e.g. Eric McDavid).
"Five journalists arrested while covering Standing Rock still face charges – more than one year later," reads a headline from two weeks ago, and 59 J20 defendants are still suffering the stresses and costs of fighting decades in prison for attending a protest. It's a wonder anyone attends protests at all considering the potential costs incurred for so little return. But I guess a student walkout at Temple University in favor of sanctuary status on May Day in a state that "is a free-for-all" for cops that want to arrest undocumented immigrants is really the least you can do.
The two black men being arrested in a local Starbucks minutes after arriving, as they awaited the arrival of another member of their party, is not a new development, but its sensationalism has contributed to this common trend becoming news-worthy. Recent nationwide reports of white people calling the cops on black people having a cookout, on a black Yale student for napping in a common area, on black teenagers for shopping at a Nordstrom, on black folks for checking out of their Airbnb, on five black women for not golfing fast enough at a country club, popularly exhibit the racial profiling that leads to the higher rates of incarceration and murder by police. Take the example of the black man murdered outside of a California Walmart when cops fired 30 rounds into a vehicle after he was suspected of theft, and also wounded one of the passengers. Or the Democracy Now! report that a "black teen [was] sentenced to 30 years in prison for a murder committed by cop." Then there were the examples of "Native American brothers pulled from campus tour after nervous parent calls police," and the "young Santee Sioux man shot by police officer while being dragged on the ground."
This seems an appropriate time to remember that on May 13, 1985, the Philadelphia Police dropped a bomb in a residential neighborhood that killed five children.
Those old fall backs of modernity that claim we're better off now, as life is safer and easier than it once was, seem mostly unfounded by this only partial round-up of recent news reports. Even before mentioning that the World Health Organization is now warning that "common infections and minor injuries which have been possible to treat for decades may once again kill millions" due to the overuse of antibiotics. Those complex surgeries and cancers that the developed world has been so triumphant in treating, even though it has been the creator of many of the causes of those illnesses, are suddenly becoming extremely difficult to treat. And to add insult to injury, Business Insiderreports that "the average American worker takes less vacation time than a medieval peasant."
The so-called popular alternatives presented to us and advocated for in order to reach the masses, defer to the same Bernie Sanders who once advocated for the dissolution of the CIA, but now just appeals to have a less overtly offensive head for the organization that notoriously contributed to assassinations and torture as a matter of course. Socialist mouthpiece Jacobin can write a whole article on Brexit without mentioning its racially motivated anti-immigrant policies. Local "independent" news site, the Philadelphia Citizen, can propagate its founder's opinion that we need Amazon to build its HQ2 in Philly to keep the college transplants here, despite the consequent gentrification that will continue to force out already marginalized residents. These are continuations of the path that have lead to the deadly-serious, alienated reality that we currently suffer.
Compromise continues the trajectory and we can't afford to stay the course.
Enough is Enough need your support.
We want to continue and even expand our from the ground reporting across Europe. But we need your support to be able do that. We need your support to finance it.

Many years ago, my Mom and I made a trip to Scottsdale Arizona to visit my Mom's Aunt Joy. Aunt Joy was an elderly woman living in a well to do retirement village and was wanting to give my Mom some "family things" before she downsized to a smaller apartment. She was a feisty woman full of life. She had the best stories. She had lived all over and was a brave woman. She hadn't left her retirement village in probably five years but she wanted us to take her to see her old house that her and her husband had built. So we did. How we finally found it I can't remember, but she sweet talked our way past the security guards at the neighborhood entrance. We found her home after several wrong turns and she fussed and complained how the owners had changed the landscaping. I was beginning to think we had made a mistake bringing her here, when I suddenly KNEW we had made a mistake when she insisted we pull into the driveway. She wanted me to help her to the door!! Norman, her husband had left some boxes in the attic and she was there to claim them!! Mind you, they had moved out some 15 years ago!!! Well, you don't tell Aunt Joy no, so I helped her to the front door with her walker. Thankfully no one came to the door. Thankfully I tell you!! I can't imagine THAT conversation!!
Okay, I'm really not writing about Aunt Joy, although she is worthy of writing about for sure. But I wanted to tell the story about something she gave us. My Mom doesn't have that many family photos of generations past and Aunt Joy gave Mom a box full of old photographs. She went through them all telling us who they were and we wrote on the back of them. A treasure of history right here for us. It was such a special time.
I love old photographs and I have many in my house already especially wedding photographs but I don't know who the people are but I just love the era and can't pass them up. So I was so excited to have these pictures that were actually relatives! I decided to gather them together and group them within this large frame I had (which had been a mirror that broke). I centered it over our bed. I bought frames that complemented each other at various stores and grouped them together.
I had two wedding pictures I wanted to include. One of my great, great grandparents. I went to trim the picture to fit into the frame and it was really thick to cut. I thought there must be something tucked behind the picture. I looked and there was! It was an envelope and I had cut it. I was so excited though!! A tucked away letter behind a wedding picture. The postage was 1914. Addressed to Mrs. W.m Lindner. No return address. This is what was inside….
I found a treasure!! Can you imagine how she must have blushed receiving this postcard from her husband? He sent it in an envelope even though it's a postcard. That was decent of him. There is a story behind this card. I wish I knew it. I love thinking about it.
This entry was posted in photography, vintage and tagged family, frames, old photographs by Katey. Bookmark the permalink.
Katey, thank you for sharing this…a treasure indeed!!!
Katey, you write the neatest blogs and I'll be john brown if you don't bring a tear to my eye every time! I love them! and you!!
love this post and I too love the old family photos that I have- I love the idea of putting them together in frames inside a bigger frame. Love that.
Hi Katie! I just found your blog by accident…and I love it! I am mentioning you in my blog post today.
i actually gasped and went "oooooooo!" in admiration for the postcard having been sent, having been kept, and your having found it again after all this time. what a wonderful, wonderful story!!!!! i also love, so much, how you framed everything. your touch is beautiful, with all in life. thank goodness our paths have crossed, after so much uncrossed time had passed. life amazes me, daily.

I have a knack of guessing any pop song from the 80s and 90s by listening to the first three seconds.
The grown-ups who are the zombies in the Enemy series by Charlie Higson. As a teen, I would have loved to read about a world where the kids are trying to fight adults for survival.
Roald Dahl for his imaginative stories. Emily Rodda for her world-building stories. Tristian Bancks because we get along pretty well. Andy Griffiths because he's a legend and how cool would it be if he came to my house. John Marsden for his stories about teaching writing for teens.
An everlasting gobstopper. Like, a real one that never,ever runs out.
See above haha. Funny, wacky, Asian-Australian, heartfelt.
It'll be in a bookish place like a public library or café. I'll have my notebook, i-pod, a bubble tea drink, laptop and a random plush toy.
It sounds lame but it's my own book Punchlines haha. It's 'pinches'.
Pinches hurt more when I'm not expecting it, like if I dipped my finger into dark water and a lobster attacked me haha.
I'd ask John Marsden, which country/countries were the invaders in the Tomorrow in the war began series.
I'm happy to forgo my writing career to read other people's stories. I'm a lifelong reader and there's many more books left out there in the world that are begging to be read.

FREE Mobile Will Use The Parking And Roof Of 150 Carrefour Stores To Strengthen Its 3G, 4G and 5G Coverage
Free Mobile has secretly signed an agreement with Carrefour, which will allow it to use some 150 car parks and roofs of the company's stores to set up new antennas and improve the coverage of its 3G, 4G and 5G network.
This agreement was concluded at a time when locally the operator often faces strong opposition from town halls and the population to the installation of these relays, particularly in rural areas.
It is in the midst of a controversy surrounding the installation of an antenna in the car park of a Carrefour in the city of Graces that the existence of this agreement was revealed.
Free Mobile Partners With Carrefour To Deploy Its Relay Antennas
A petition is circulating to ban this antenna, sometimes on behalf of the "precautionary principle" or the "environmental code" – a petition that would have obtained just over fifty signatures according to the daily newspaper.
Unfortunately, since these antennas are installed on private property, the inhabitants seem unlikely to get the antenna removed.
Thus, in mid-April, the mayor of Graces Yannick Le Goff (PS) became aware of the project – but was unable to oppose its implementation, despite an unfavourable opinion.
It was on this occasion that he learned of the existence of a national agreement allowing Free Mobile to install its relay antennas on 150 sites belonging to Carrefour.
Visibly powerless in the face of this situation, the Mayor of Graces regrets, quoted by Ouest-France, that he has to explain himself instead of the supermarket chain:
"Certainly, it is in my commune, but it is especially in a private domain. In the end, it would even be more up to Carrefour to be there. Carrefour takes the royalties and I reap the anger. You think that's normal?".
Since its inception, Free Mobile has lagged behind its competitors in terms of network coverage and continues to install antennas.
But the operator also often faces strong local opposition (especially in the territories) concerned about the consequences of this explosion of electromagnetic waves on the health of the inhabitants.
As the Mayor of Graces points out, Free Mobile could undoubtedly avoid controversy by playing the game of pooling networks.
But this has not yet been achieved, and it is likely that competition will not make it easy for the operator – the latter having literally boosted the prices of the mobile telephony market and the revenues of the sector in France.
Free Mobile is justified by stressing that it is "committed to a sustained program of deployment of Mobile Broadband (3G) and Very High Speed Mobile (4G) in all territories".
Partnering with Carrefour to deploy certain antennas could therefore save the operator from many of the hassles associated with installing certain antennas… Intersesting case to follow.

Cool! Thanks for the guide!


Welcome to Club Indie-Lite. Leave honesty at home.
In hip hop, being underground is its own merit badge. Subterranean emcees have created a cult of greatness by rapping at least half of the time about their inherent superiority to mainstream cats obsessed with balls, bullets and bills. That's silly, of course: Obscurity doesn't always translate into quality, and plenty of mainstream rappers can challenge most relative unknowns. But, once you're engrossed in the underground and then told constantly by its practitioners and its proponents of its ingrained talent and moral high-ground, it's hard to turn away.
Until now, indie rock has largely avoided such an argument, though bits of punk-pride lineage and DIY ethic have always marked independent labels and bands. Then again, some bands sport a conscious askew nature just to ward off the faint of imagination. But overall accessibility is changing the ethos of what it means to be an indie rock band, delivering new music and new strains of product deviating from the mainstream to a broader range of listeners who, 10 years ago, would have had few alternatives to Top 40 programming.
As with most things, the Internet has altered the avenues, increasing purchase possibilities for the average listener and upping awareness through music Webzines, blogs and message boards. MySpace has become the ultimate musical test drive. Finding a once-import-only album has become a matter of an open iTunes applet.
Long-time indie rock favorites like Modest Mouse and Death Cab for Cutie, for instance, have found pop success on major labels, and, in turn, their back catalogue and the independent labels that released it have enjoyed a portion of that success at the hands of a new clientele: Club Indie-Lite.
You know them: They're the ones with the white earbud cord peaking from the bright-colored iPod minis, casual music fans who will visit an amphitheater twice in a summer and a rock club four times each semester, buying a mix of major-label output and upper-echelon independent releases, influenced as much by Blender or Entertainment Weekly as Pitchfork or others who feel an album can't be contextualized in 75 words. There's no commitment to a scene, ideal, label or history. As with the most base and exploitative pop music capitalism, it revolves around hooks.
Matt Pond PA's last album, Several Arrows Later, still a hot property of Club Indie-Lite, isn't any smarter than John Mayer's Room for Squares. They do the same thing, too, both rendering sad love and tedium as life-for-par over a catchy, well-arranged backdrop. Members of Club Indie-Lite can be cooler by liking Matt Pond PA, but an admitted interest in someone like Mayer or Dave Matthews is either anathema, a teenage relic or a guilty pleasure. It's hip to be cultured and somewhat obscure, one supposes, even if it's hard to be honest in doing so.
In a sense, such a redistribution of listeners and access begins to subvert the hegemonic over-structure of the antiquated record industry, pulling funds away from the handful of conglomerates that have owned popular music for years. That's great. But, adversely, small independent record labels are beginning to realize notoriety and profits are only a few hundred-thousand downloads away for their bands and for themselves, a goal much more attainable than turning an independent record to Gold, in-store sales of 500,000. That pushes things two ways: Either independent labels function more like university presses and allow one bestseller every few years to fund plenty of very important, less popular work, or they stay the course with bands in their back catalogue while only signing new acts they feel can catch fire when Club Indie-Lite somehow catches wind (The O.C.?).
And, while neither one of those models nor the notion that buying into slightly left-of-center music makes one somehow more cultured or cool are new, their merged relationship with the simultaneous emergence of a huge interested buying sect is. Let's just hope the Club-issue iPods can carry more weight than Matt Pond PA.
Matt Pond PA plays the Cat's Cradle on Friday, June 9 at 9:15 p.m. The Prayers and Tears of Arthur Digby Sellers, maybe too good for Club Indie-Lite, opens.
