JK Terrell Interview
Alabama Music Office.com goes through the door into our studios to interview
JK Terrell November 2012. Below is a reprint of an interview I did with JK which
was published in Planet Weekly March 2007.
An Interview with J.K. Terrell
by Jerry W. Henry
Do you want to tell us what the J.K. stands for?
Most people I tell it stands for Just Kidding! I come from an old southern family that used initials. It stand for James Kenneth.
Where are you from?
I was born in Birmingham, raised and educated in Mobile, and been in Tuscaloosa a large portion of my life. I'm a true Alabamian.
You are a accomplished musician. Where did it all begin?
There was always a set of drums in the closet in our house. The failed instruments from one of my brothers. I came from a large family with two brothers and two sisters. There was always a old marching drum in the closet. I would sneak into the closet and beat on it and no one could really hear it. But I think as far as being influenced, it was being lucky enough to be born in the 50's and surviving the 60's. I had the joy of listening to Elvis and the Beatles. There was always music in the house. But I am the only one in my family that actually plays an instrument. But everybody in the family loved music. We revered the musicians, they were our role models, more than the athletes of the day. I remember my parents were big fans of Al Hirt and Pete Fountain. They liked that New Orleans kind of jazz that they could dance to. I had big sisters that listened to the 50's rock and roll from Bill Haley to the Big Bopper. There was a lot of Buddy Holly in our house also. When I came along and could afford to buy 45 RPM records. I bought the Beatles, Led Zepplin, Jimi Hendrix and all those from the psychedelic age. I was blessed with a family that loved music and loved to dance.
What was your first band?
In high school people would get together. I was in a gang down in a certain part of Mobile. We were the first long hairs in our school. We were the first to get instruments and learn to play them. In high school there were eight or nine guys that floated through this house that had a set of drums and guitars. All of us were allowed to play. So it might be three or four guys one day and the next day a whole different group. Some identified with drums, some identified with bass, and some with guitars. The first band that made any money was a band called Full Moon. That was a kind of jazz/blues based band that had one of the original members of Wet Willy named Wick Larsen. Topper Price was a member of that band for a short while. That was the first band that actually got paid and didn't have to play for beer and pizza.
Where did you progress from there?
You know the blues was always attractive to a lot of us white boys back in the 70's. We didn't live that kind of lifestyle, nor did we witness it. Hearing that beat in the back of psychedelia and being in Mobile which was such a great blues town made for a natural attraction. A lot of great blues bands came through there played places like the Harlem Duke Social Club, the Mardi Gras Club and the black clubs in Pritchard. They would let us come and listen. I can remember Albert King playing there and there were more young white musicians than black folks. Albert liked that because us white boys bought a lot of drinks. We didn't sit around and nurse one drink all night. We drank a lot and were good tippers. Wanting to play rock and roll influenced by the blues got me to Florida touring both coast in a pretty good band. They were a bunch of hometown boys from Port Charlotte and Fort Myers that had a lot of connections and were already working.
What was the name of that band?
That band was HatTrick. Those guys are still playing. One of my best friends and the lead singer for HatTrick just released a CD called Old Humble Men that got picked up by a small label in Miami.
I left rock and roll when I was in grad school here in Tuscaloosa. I became a redneck in a soul band. I was a white drummer in a 12-piece black soul band. That was like getting my graduate degree in music. The horn section was all the top players from Stillman. The leader of the horn section was music director at Stillman. They were all very high quality musicians in that band. We did shows and you had to learn timings. We had two different singers in three different shows. I was the drummer in that band. Then I was in a splinter group that came off that band that had a great drummer so I played percussion. That's what got me playing congas and tembalies and the whole percussion thing.
You played with Johnny Shines. Didn't you?
I was blessed by accidentally running into Johnny Shines via his wife Hattie. She worked at Partlow where I was working. She was a housekeeper there in the building I worked in. She and I got to talking. She told me to come over to her house one night to meet her husband and eat some catfish. I was really more out to get a free meal than to meet anybody. It turned out that the night I went over there Robert Junior Lockwood was passing through. He and Johnny were on their way to Jacksonville, Florida to do some gigs promoting their latest album. They needed a place to rehearse because Robert was coming down from Cleveland and Johnny had not rehearsed with band. I had a full studio in this room we are sitting in now. We used to record in here. I had a full set of drums, percussion, amps, everything, a full studio. I said, "guys just come to my house and rehearse." They asked, "how much it would cost." I said, "My gosh, nothing. Just come over. I'd like to hear you play." So about one o'clock one afternoon, Robert Junior Lockwood, Johnny Shines and Robert's band from Cleveland came over to my house here and played. At that time one of Robert's stepsons was trying to play percussion. He was having difficulty playing this one song. In an attempt to help him figure out a beat I started playing congas. Robert told his stepson to sit down. I started playing and they asked me to go to Jacksonville with them. I couldn't go to Jacksonville with them because I was already on schedule the next night. They were going to leave that next night and I couldn't just pack up and go. They asked me if I could join them in Jacksonville, Alabama and do some shows going back up north when they came back from Jacksonville, Florida. I worked it out were I could. They were just getting ready to record their second album. It was actually Robert Lockwood that asked me to join them in the studio in Boston to record. We had three or four months to get ready to record. I started doing some shows with Johnny and we became very good friends. That was the start of a long and good relationship with Johnny Shines and Robert Lockwood.
What came next?
I went from the blues to the only reggae band in Alabama, Lost in The Mail. I was with that band for seven years. I was an original member. I kind of bounced around after that for awhile. I was in a band called Beanland out of Oxford, Mississippi for awhile. I met them through Lost in The Mail playing in Oxford. We had a good following in Oxford. A couple of the guys in Beanland, Lance Lawrence which became my very good friend and roommate was a bartender in this bar we played at called Forrester's. They all loved reggae music and it turned out this guitar player named Bill McCrory worked as a bartender there also. Playing there they knew me before I knew them.
Then later on a buddy of mine here in Tuscaloosa called me and said Beanland was playing that night here and wanted to go sit in with them. They were staying at Dill's Motor Court. So we went down asked if they would mind if we sat in with them on a couple of songs. I didn't know it but they were having some problems with their drummer. We went down to The Tusk that night. I set up my percussion rig. I didn't know if I was going to play one song or how many or if I would get to play at all. I ended up playing the whole night from the first song to the last song. The place was packed. Everything seemed to fall into place that night. Their drummer played the best he had in a long time. It was a great night. I just went there to sit in and have a good time. After the gig they walked up and placed a big stack of cash in my hand. They said I deserved it and wanted to know if I could come and join them in Memphis the next weekend. Then it was Nashville and I was still with them three months later. So one night we were at the Nick, which is the place I have played the most. The Nick and the old Wooden Nickel were the places I played with the Southside Blues Band and Lost in The Mail. Anyway, Beanland was playing the Nick when they asked me to come on board with them because they were about to record and wanted me to be a part of it. So I ended up moving to Oxford and traveled with Beanland for a couple of years — recorded their first CD with them. Did a DVD. We still do a reunion ever so often.
I did a tour with the John Kilzer Band with the great Memphis drummer Harry Peel who was with Beanland also. We were signed to Geffen and I went from $100,000 a year to $50.00 a night plus a bowl of chili gigs in 48 hours. All because of a drunk saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. But that's the music business.
Is that when you moved back to Tuscaloosa?
Yea, I came back and at times have been with four bands at one time. I did a 10 year stint with Mike Spiller, Michael and the Memories. Which is a wonderful family band. They were great people to work for and fun to be with. They treated me like family.
I was in a band called the Persuaders with Dan Vogt, and Gary Walker. I was in a band called The Flying Leroys with Gary Edmonds, Mike Shamblin, and Chris Ballard. I've worked with the Alabama Blues Project for about eight or nine years now. I've been involved with the musical staff at the Mount Zion Missionary Baptist Church in Birmingham for a little over four years. It's the oldest African American Baptist in Birmingham. I don't think I stumbled into that church, I feel I was led there. Those are as high a quality musicians as I have ever played with. There ain't no sad walkin and slow singing in this church. It's uptempo. Some of the guys have degrees in music, some are full time jazz musicians, there's a couple of high school band directors as choir directors. It's been a learning experience for me, learning the business of gospel music. Muddy Waters said the blues had a baby and they called it rock and roll. I really think gospel had a baby and they called it the blues. I think it all came out of the spiritual, and the field shouting from the slave days. Johnny Shines taught me that the field shouting was the way they got the news from one plantation to the other. Then when the masters got wise to what they were doing they started disguising the news by singing. As they got Christianized, the songs came into the church. The gospel business is all above the table business, none of that under the table money stuff. From a musician's stand point there are more churches than bars in Alabama. You don't have to play until three in the morning and breath second hand smoke. It's great for me.
I'm doing studio projects, a gospel album, and have been working with Mike Mysinger helping him get his original tunes out. Mike's project is with Dan Vogt and Bruce Hopper. I am always getting calls to go play someplace. But now a days I am very selective.

Expert: Casey Anthony's bug defense squashed
For the second straight day, defense attorneys continued to make the case that Casey Anthony did not murder her daughter, Caylee.
All day Friday jurors heard testimony from just one witness, insect expert Dr. Timothy Huntington.
Photos: Casey and Caylee Anthony, Personal Photos
CBS News Correspondent Betty Nguyen reports the defense sought to dispute prosecution claims that bugs found inside the trunk of Anthony's car proved Caylee's body had been left inside.
Dr. Timothy Huntington, forensic entomology consultant, said in court, "Looking at the evidence that was collected, for me there was no reason to assume that those maggots came from a human body."
But under intense cross-examination, prosecutors got the witness to admit he's never worked on a case involving a young child. The closest comparison he had was an experiment he conducted using a pig.
Criminologist Casey Jordan said on "The Early Show on Saturday" that the defense didn't seem to have the best of days with his testimony.
Complete coverage of Casey Anthony trial on Crimesider
She explained, "First of all, the guy knows bugs, there's no doubt about it. Yet his replication study, which was done in Nebraska in the fall with a pig carcass instead of a human being, just wasn't enough of a replication for all of his evidence to really apply to this case. So, not a stupid guy - it's just his study didn't fit, and I don't think at the end of the day it came out on the side of the defense."
Jordan added the prosecution's entomologist was, in fact, the professor of the defense's witness.
"(Huntingon was trying) to refute the evidence, which came out with the state's case that it puts the body of little Casey Anthony in her mother's car. He wants to dispute the body was ever in the car and basically trying to say the body was hidden by persons unknown before it was transported to the woods where it was found, but on cross-examination (the prosecution) really skewered this guy and made him say things that were not helpful to the defense."
But what about the question of Casey Anthony's role in this case - will she take the stand?
Jordan said, "Two weeks ago...I said she has to take the stand based on that outrageous opening statement on behalf of the defense, they opened up a can of worms, saying that Caylee died in a pool, that Casey's father molested her - and none of this can be corroborated unless Casey takes the stand."
She continued, "And yet, after it was really laid out, what a pathological liar she is and how much she has lied and lied and lied throughout the investigation, now three weeks into it, I wonder that if she takes the stand, will the jury believe her? I don't think so. Will they punish her or will it be backlash if she takes the stand and says things which they perceive as lies? Will they now actually go for the harsher first-degree murder charge, instead [of] the possible aggravated manslaughter of a child?"
"Early Show" co-anchor Rebecca Jarvis asked if not taking the stand could negatively influence the jury's perception of Anthony.
Jordan said a lot of people think someone is guiltier if they don't take the stand. However, she said in cases like these, jurors qualify for selection partially because they say they wouldn't hold it against her if she didn't take the stand.
"In 99 percent of cases, the defendant in trials like this, the defendant doesn't take the stand. Legally they don't have to, and very often it can come back to haunt them," she said. "'Don't put a face to the charges' is usually what most defense attorneys would advise."
The trial - in day 22 - resumes today.

This past weekend approximately 400 volunteers poured out across Mena, armed with power tools, building/cleaning supplies, and a deep desire to serve as The Crossing Church held it's first 'Love Our Town' Service Weekend. Rain on Saturday couldn't dampen the spirits as volunteers worked with rain slickers and pop-up tents; and again on Sunday, completing over 60 projects across the city.
The planning began months ago as the pastoral staff began signing up volunteers from the church and identifying the various projects. Of the 60 projects, approximately 25 were wheelchair ramps. The rest, according to Pastor Victor Rowell, were cleaning – yard work, tree trimming, clearing brush, painting. Some were more extensive and included replacing floors, building porches, and even roofing. "So many amazing projects for some amazing people that have been trapped in their own homes are now able to get out… but I think what it did for all of the volunteers was really make us more aware of the need of our neighbors around us."
Rowell expressed his appreciation to Buddy Bean who graciously donated all of the lumber needed for the service weekend projects.
Another event held in conjunction with the service weekend was the 'Yard Sale-No Sale,' which was also held inside the The Crossing's gym. Quality items donated by the church membership were available. The only 'currency' accepted were gift cards that had been distributed by the congregation to people throughout the community.
Those that were not on work crews, made lunches that were provided to all the crews both days, and the event concluded with what was suppose to be a 'lawn party' on Sunday evening but had to be moved indoors due to weather. Volunteers served a full meal and it gave project recipients an opportunity to come and celebrate with the volunteers. Local law enforcement were also served.

Daddy had a couple of days off last week and this meant that instead of me hanging around the house on my own I've been busy trying to cram a million memories into a couple of days. What I didn't realise however was that Daddy was trying to get in on my act.
I know, I know. I've already admitted that Daddy makes a better me than me, but this was different. Daddy asked me where my fabric stash was. For a start, how does he know I have a fabric stash?! Then after selecting a suitable piece of fabric, he started work on a craft project, and one that seemed familiar to me...
He only went and made a much better milkman's wallet than the one I'd made!
Okay, so he did use my blog post in order to work out how to do it, but he also moaned that my instructions made no sense and it was a wonder that anyone ever read my blog with the number of spelling mistakes and grammatical errors (they're all there on purpose I swear).
I think it was because standing in the playground with me, made him realise how cool and hip I am.
Stop laughing.
I am cool and hip. I'm a role model don't you know!
See, what I think happened was that Daddy got jealous over how Top Ender's School friends swarmed to me. It's an unusual occurrence if I'm perfectly honest, and had only happened as Top Ender had taken one of the Milkman Wallets to School, and upon showing her School friends the magic powers that she had acquired along with this wallet they all wanted one and knew that I was the key to getting them one.
Still, Daddy's Milkman Wallet is currently sitting on the Fireplace with Big Boy's small fortune in it (he's saving up for Super Smash Bros for the Wii U, which we're guessing is out this November) and none of you must tell him that I'm quite jealous of this marvellous craft!
Oh and Daddy used the very lovely fabric glue that we were sent as part of the Bostik Family Craft Bloggers Network.
Apparently he found the glue very useful.

To Life
I just got back from a trip to South Carolina where I attended the wedding of my very dear and long time friend Phyllis whom I've known since the 9th grade. She met her true love Dave at Miami University in Ohio in the 70's and the plan was for the two of them to get married. But circumstances got in the way and it didn't happen. Life went on and they both married others and raised their respective families. A few years ago they had the opportunity to reunite and it came to be that their love for each other had never died.
It was wonderful to attend the wedding and experience their complete joy and true love even at 60 years old. I wish them Mazel Tov and a long, healthy and happy life together. L'Chaim - to LIFE.
Click HERE to see the movie I made of the weekend wedding festivities.
An Easy Peasy Summer Meal
OK, it's not yet summer but seems like the Memorial Day holiday kicked it off. And last night's evening in southern california was warm and beautiful which is rare even on a real summer's night. So fire up that grill and get cooking an easy peasy impromptu summer meal.
Appetizer of Manchego cheese and those yummy rosemary bite crackers from Trader Joes. TJ's J. Lohr Chardonnay was a good accompaniment.
To make it easy, I bought a package of 4 shucked ears of corn from Trader Joes. I microwaved them, per the instructions on the package, but finished them off on the grill. We cut up the vegetables, consisting of zucchini, summer squash and red/yellow peppers, lengthwise and marinated them with some olive oil, garlic, red pepper flakes and salt and pepper. I bought the thin sliced chicken breasts from Trader Joes (yes, I love TJ's) and marinated them for just 15 minutes in some soy sauce, rice vinegar, ginger and a bit of oil. The sliced veggies and microwaved corn went on the grill first and then about 15 minutes later added the chicken which only needed about 12 minutes on the grill.
No picture but for dessert we had Trader Joe's frozen plain tart yogurt topped with: grilled fresh peaches, a drizzle of maple syrup, and a topping made in the food processor of: pecans, crystalized ginger, whole coriander seeds, a drop of cayenne pepper and cinnamon.

I was pretty stoked on these.
I used 4 cups of flour one teaspoon of salt one stick of butter and a half cup of crisco for the crust.
Aren't they darlin'?
4 cups of flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 c butter, one stick cold
1/2 c crisco
1/4 cup ice cold H2O ( may not use all of it)
2 cups of blueberries (I did not measure, actually...more like a mess of blueberries)
1/2 cup of sugar
1-1/2 tsp cornstarch
juice of one lemon
1/2 teaspoon of lemon zest
In a food processor or kitchen aid or a bowl with a dough cutter, Combine dry ingredients for crusts, add the fats, cut em in or process em until they are around pea sized. Start adding cold water a tblsp at a time until the dough keeps a shape when you sqeeze it. Ok, step away now! Wrap in plastic and chill for one hour. (The dough I mean, you can chill too if you are not busy- or you can make the filling!)
Heat in a large pot the berries, lemon juice, zest, sugar and cornstarch until stuff starts to break down and jellify a bit. Let cool.
Roll out yer dough.
Use a small plate to make circles of dough. Re-use scraps as you go. Fill the centers of your dough circles with like 2 tblsp of filling. Wet the rim of ONE side of the circle and fold it over. Now is the time to egg wash if you want them to brown nicely. (one egg whipped w 2 tsps of milk)
bake at 375 for like 20 minutes or until they look real good!

Go Back to Map – Modern history – the last 100 years up to today
Take the scenic R102 coming from Port Elizabeth, or the secondary R332 from Humansdorp to make the most of your journey. Day Visitors can purchase a day pass at Komdomo.
The 89km to Geelhoutbos will take you up to 4 hours and you can make a picnic at Smitskraal, where you can also swim in the river.
|Baviaanskloof (Valley)
The Baviaanskloof (Valley of Baboons) is literally a kloof nestled between the Baviaans Mountain Range to the north and the Kouga Mountain Range to the south, ...
|Hankey - the valley
Hankey is one of four towns that make up the Gamtoos Valley.
Loerie (also known as Loerieheuwel) lies at the foot of the Elands and Groot Winterhoek Mountains.
The small town of Patensie is the eastern gateway to the Baviaanskloof ...
Thornhill is situated amongst rolling hills and mountains.
The road goes through the Formosa Nature Reserve. The view over the Kouga Mountains is breathtaking, and the change between biomes clearly visible – from spekboom, aloes, cycads, and proteas and other fynbos to succulents. The 79km stretch can take anything from 4 to 6 hours to complete.
From Doornkloof you can proceed to Willowmore or Uniondale, which will take you another 2 hours – the Kloof itself is a total of 197km.
Numerous campsites, lodges, caves or a tented camp invite visitors to stay longer and enjoy hiking, mountainbiking, paddling and more 4×4 trails.
The northern access, 4×4 only, lies between Steytlerville and Patensie via the picturesque Groot River Pass, a 120 km, 3½ hour drive. The lovely farm, Hadley, lies along the road and has a number of hiking trails. The road winds along the northern slopes of the Baviaanskloof Mountains, through the farms Rietfontein, Sapkamma, Doornbosch, and Verekraal.

Why use the 8085 one might ask. Well it's a straight and simple traditional 8-bits processor with hardly any strange quirks, except perhaps that the data bus is combined with the lower part of the address bus to save pins. This trick is often used and you only need a one way latch to keep the address stable while the bus is used for data in the second halve of the memory cycle.

The 8080 and even the later 8086/8088 need two 82xx series support chips, whereas the 8085 can work on it's on (except for the latch).

Hey everyone! I am SO SORRY, that I've been neglecting my blog lately. So I thought I would take a few minutes and catch everyone on up on what's been going on!
So I took my North Carolina Certified Paralegal Exam at the beginning of April, so I spent the better part of March studying and prepping for it. I'm so glad that that is out of the way and I should have my results come back in the next week or so.
At about the same time, I was looking for jobs (I'm not going to tell you how miserable that process was), and accepted a new job offer. It's a great opportunity to learn a different side to being a Paralegal. It was a really great raise and benefits, so I'm super excited to be settling into my new office. It's another learning curve, but I think I'm starting to get the hang of it. I was sad to say good bye to my previous employer, but this is a wonderful new experience.
Also in my "she's gone MIA" time, my kitten got neutered (it didn't help calm my hyper fuzzball down), and my dog was really sick. He's better now, but we were super worried because he's so old. Don't you wish your furbabies lived forever…. Sigh.
I was also busy planning for my parents' vacation that I was not invited on – you know picking the place, booking the hotel, getting the oil changed in the truck and the tires rotated… and then left at home. In their defense, and which they kept reminding me of, I did go to college 10 minutes from the beach for 4 beautiful years. Also, they totally deserve this, but I am jealous that I'm not sitting on a beach in Florida right now.
About the same time as I started applying for new jobs, my best friend, whom I met in college, told me she's moving across the state to my city, and we're getting an apartment together. Yeah that's a long sentence. I'm so freaking excited! So she's looking for new jobs, too and has been interviewing with places to no avail. Please cross your fingers for us, because WE FREAKING NEED THIS. So her, Jax (kitty), and I are all hopefully about to be shopping for an apartment. I can't wait. I've been frantically saving and planning, and so has she, and hopefully everything will come together soon. I promise you will know when the move happens.
So my friends – I'm going to be making a more conscious effort to blog and will be giving A Blonde's Life the attention it deserves. I've got some exciting posts drafted that will be going live soon, so don't forget to subscribe so you don't miss a post. If there's any types of posts you'd like to see, please let me know! I'd be happy to consider anything and everything and see if I can make it work!

On an island of 1.3 million people there are over 500,000 souls online and they know exactly what they're doing. Local businesses know that they can definitely reach their market via Facebook even if it's the only means of advertising they use. However, Facebook has made it increasingly difficult to get your business page in front of eyeballs, effectively forcing you to pay for sponsored ads.
Now businesses can no longer depend on the free advertising from Facebook and have to re-evaluate the use of other online marketing tools they've been neglected in the past.
With each new year the size of the local labor force is growing meaning more incomes to spend. With each new year a new batch of Form Ones get new laptops. If we think ahead (sigh…who really does?), these kids will have laptops and they'll know how to use them.
It doesn't matter in what dark corner your business may be in Trinidad & Tobago (as long as it's legal of course), online marketing is an absolute must today. Most people interpret online marketing to mean advertising only, i.e. getting your ad or message in front of your target audience, with the aim being to attract customers.
In the web world the term has actually been refined to INBOUND MARKETING, which refers to using online tools to reach to first ATTRACT traffic and then CONVERT to customers/sales, with methodologies for a structured approach for optimal results- a far cry from the shots in the dark many use today.
With many tools available, like social media (Facebook, Google Plus), email marketing, videos (You Tube, Vimeo), blogging, landing pages, content creation, conversion forms etc., it can be a pretty daunting task figuring out the best approach.
Do you the difference? Online marketing is all about traffic acquisition, getting the raw numbers in. Inbound Marketing is about conversion optimization to:

My First Comin-Con
Last week I went to my first Comic-Con when I attended the Great Philadelphia Comic-Con, at the Expo Center in Oaks, Pa. It was an experience that I recommend for anyone that is at all interested in comic, reading, TV, etc. When I arrived at the event the first thing I noticed was a huge line that wrapped around the expo center full of people waiting to get in. The line of people was wildly diverse and filled with people of all ages, ethnicities, genders, and backgrounds. They were all there to indulge in everything that a comic-con can offer and man, there was plenty to do. Once I finally made it into the building, the first thing that you see is a large sign that reads "Artist Alley". Like the names suggests, there were rows and rows of booths full of original artwork on display for sale. Behind that there were tons of merchandise being sold from movie posters, Funko Pop figures, games, and of course comic books. Finally, in the very back of the Expo Center is where all the celebrity autograph signings were taking place; including the cast of Black Lighting.
As I walked Artist Alley I was truly in awe of all the talent that I saw there. The very first booth that caught my eye had a gigantic Black Panther drawing on the top of it. As I walked up the artist greeted me with a classic "Wakanda Forever" and proceeded to show my some of his work. It was mostly themed on more Black and African heroes, like Black Panther, Storm from the X-Men, Black Lighting, and more. The work was so well-done, that I bought two of his pieces. As I continued inward I found a corner booth that was selling comics, but I had never heard of the series "The Creators" so I asked the guy at the booth about the comic. He (Michael Bracco) explained to me that they were his comics, and that he wrote, illustrated, and self-published the book. I flipped through a couple of pages and was immediately was taken back by how beautiful, and detailed the book was. I talked to Michael for a few minutes and I was impressed with the both his personal story and the books'. I purchased a copy of "The Creators" and will be writing a review for it as soon as I finish reading it.
I continued to walk around the Expo Center talking to vendors about their favorite comics, overhearing conversations about how much everyone loved Infinity War. I finally walked back into "Celebrity Row" and a wave of 90's nostalgia hit me. Austin St. John, the first Red Ranger was there, along with a few of his fellow rangers, as well as Val Kilmer and even Kel Mitchell (Who Loves Orange Soda!) I was overwhelmed and loved seeing the people that entertained me for years of my childhood. After about 4 hours I heard over the speaker system that the Black Lighting Panel was starting was I made my way to the Panel Room to get a good seat. The full cast was in attendance and the panel was funny and insightful especially hearing from Cress Williams (Black Lighting) about some of the more controversial episodes in the series. After the panel the cast took some pictures and sign a few more autographs before leaving, and soon after that so did I. This event was an incredible experience that I would recommend for anyone that is at all interested in comic, collectables, or just want to hang out with a bunch of nerds 😊 for a day or two. The organizers at the Great Philadelphia Comic-Con did a great job putting together a successful event for their patrons. Were you at the Great Philadelphia Comic-Con? If so what was your favorite part? Let us know in the comments!

The Meaning of Metalscomments (2) January 16th, 2009
I spotted this post by Barbara at Fire Mountain Gems on the meaning of metals, from perennial favorites gold and silver to the more unusual modern types (like rhodium, niobium, and titanium). Barbara describes the history of each substance, from the ancient to the everyday, and presents clear details about each, demystifying designations like karat, gold-filled, and fine silver -- and aside from precious metals, she also includes less glamorous workhorses like stainless steel and pewter.
Aside from the very helpful information she presents, I liked the question she poses at the end of her post:
When you design jewelry, you're not only creating beauty, you're
creating a message. That message is a mix of the design, the colors,
the techniques -- and the materials.
What do your jewelry designs say?

Annual Update
I became more active on FaceBook and decided to take a break here. The one thing I've missed is being able to document my life in short stories. I also miss keeping up with the bloggers that I had been following.
The above picture is of my garden, taken a few days ago which doesn't look remarkably different from my last post. Sometimes life feels that way, until I look at my boys. Change is slow, but what a difference a year makes.
Hopefully I'll be back soon!

Keeping up with a blog takes effort. I haven't written for over a week and every day it gets easier not to write. I can see how easily it can get away from you.
Your garden looks like it is thriving beautifully. Hope you get lots of good veggies this summer!

Reflections On An Obsession... Part IV - Lundbeck

Reflections On An Obsession... Part I - The Eulogy
Reflections of an Obsession - Part II - Unredacted
Reflections On An Obsession... Part III - The Emporers Clothes
Reflections On An Obsession... Part IV - Lundbeck
The story of Sheryl Tilbrook, as written by her father, Stuart Jones.
Analysis of a Nightmare. 17th of May 2007.
I had a dream last night, the same dream I've had many times before, but this time I spoke of it to Claudette …. "It doesn't make any sense to me", I complained to her - as I was driving home to Wales from my daughter's house in England - "I mean, in real life I don't feel fear, but in this dream I keep on making simple mistakes in the job I'm doing, and have been taught to do, but the ground rules seem to keep on changing and I'm afraid I've upset the boss, then make up the most pitiful, inane excuses for not doing the work properly. In the dream I'm actually so afraid of upsetting the person in charge I procrastinate and even lie to protect myself … I don't understand it, I've always fought my monsters, or at least come to terms with them."
"Well?" I queried after a few more miles on the road home, "What do you make of it?"
For another mile or two she carried on with knitting a matinee jacket for our nephew and his partner's latest expected, then simply said; "It's that time of year!"
"I know that, there's always that! …. but the dream was just more vivid and disturbing than is usual, and in any case, I don't see what me being afraid in dreams has to do with Sheryl's death."
She put the knitting in her lap and stared out through the windscreen at the road ahead. "It's the eighteenth of May tomorrow, exactly six years since Sher was given the prescription for Cipramil that set off the cataclysmic chain of events.
You were never trained for what followed, you learned, and all things considered, you learned well …."
Her voice had cracked a little and I turned to look at her. Her eyes had welled with water, not quite enough to form tears. She rarely cries but her moist, widened eyes jolted her pain through me like an electric charge.
I wanted to pull the car over and comfort her, but drove on knowing how much she hates to be pitied or touched because then she does break into tears and despises herself for showing weakness.
Claudette picked up her knitting but didn't resume her work. "I'll tell you what I believe about your dream." she said, continuing the conversation, her voice even and normal now. "Your boss is you, or more accurately, the promise you made to Sher that you would bring those responsible for her death to account, and that's proved to be impossible.
You learnt it was Lundbeck who made Cipramil, and by not warning that their me too version of an SSRI antidepressant could cause people to become suicidal, they caused her death.
And when you investigated how this was allowed to happen, how such a potentially dangerous chemical could be granted a licence to be prescribed to anyone for almost any reason, you learnt that the regulatory body set up to examine whether drugs are safe and effective, was wholly funded by the pharmaceutical industry …. Worse, you discovered the history of SSRIs was written in controversy and the blood and death of many ordinary people, and that many others have to live with their devastating side-effects.
You learnt these matters were already being addressed by the pharmacovigilance arm of the MCA in the form of an Ad Hoc EWG working group, set up to examine the safety and efficacy of all antidepressants, but innapropriately, many of it's members had conflicts of interest, in that they had pecuniary, or other, vested interests in the very drug makers, whose SSRIs had caused the controversy which led to their investigation. And even though we helped to get this tainted committee disbanded, it was not enough for you, or for that matter me …."
We failed in our attempt to sue Lundbeck for murdering Sheryl, breaching her human rights and breaching product information law, as we also failed in our attempt to get the CPS to initiate a criminal case for corporate manslaughter.
The monster you were fighting was the pervasive influence of the pharmaceutical industry, it's a monster you can not beat, nor come to terms with. You've hit out at it many times, and you've probably bothered it once or twice, but if you have, it will have been like a small insect bite, an annoyance.
Had it been a person who had killed Sheryl, and all else had failed, you or any one of us would have killed that person and suffered the consequences. You know it!
We easily forgive and forget many things but not the death of our child.
You see Stuart, I too have a nightmare, I live in it on a daily basis and relive it every night. There is no way of getting away from it because that is what Lundbeck left us with … A nightmare."
I'm sharing this very personal conversation with you to inform, and just maybe prevent you from suffering the same nightmare.

Dark Faith, edited by Maurice Broaddus and Jerry Gordon, is one of the newer anthologies put out by Apex Publications. It features 26 short stories and five poems that attempt to tackle the intricacies of faith. I haven't read much of it, and as it is with most anthologies, I won't finish it all at once; but I look forward to slowly picking its bones clean.
The first story in Dark Faith is "Ghosts of New York," by Jennifer Pelland. I will sing praise for this woman until its borderline creepy. (I'm harmless, I assure you.) Her anthology Unwelcome Bodies is one of the best I've ever read. Sure, some stories didn't blow me away, but many floored me. Read "The Last Stand of the Elephant Man," and you'll understand. "Ghosts of New York" is not equal to that tale, but it is quite good.
The story revolves around the World Trade Center tragedy, particularly the ghosts of the jumpers, those victims that chose not to perish in fire or the collapse of either tower. The ghosts are forced to relive the terrifying free fall and final impact over and over again. It's a heart-wrenching tale, one of horror, tragedy, and discovery. And its beautifully written.
Since originally writing this for my blog some months ago, "Ghosts of New York" has been chosen as a Nebula finalist. In celebration of this, Apex has put the story online for free. You can read the haunting tale here.
Next up in Dark Faith is Brian Keene's "I Sing a New Psalm." My first experience with Keene's writing was his short story collection Fear of Gravity. I wasn't blown away. I loved the final story, "The Garden Where My Rain Grows," it more than lived up to the praise bestowed upon him, but the other stories just didn't have the same impact with me. Decent, but maybe my expectations were too high. "I Sing a New Psalm," however, is a very good tale if a bit obvious.
The story is told in 44 short bursts and follows a man of uncertain faith through his ultimate acceptance and subsequent denial of God. It's a story that explores the puzzling contradiction of cruelty and selfishness from a so-called loving, omniscient god. Something we've all questioned. Keene does it justice.
Though I haven't read it completely, Dark Faith is worth buying. Anything Apex puts out is worth buying. Dig it!

The idea is Chris Brogan's. Instead of a resolution to come up with 3 words that will help you define your goals and experiences for the coming year.
The following are the three words that I have chosen to summarize my focus and efforts in the coming year, they encompass both my personal and professional goals.
My three words for 2012 are:
Looking back over the past year one goal I had with this site was to create more videos. It never happened. I typically struggled to put together the few videos that I did over the year. They just didn't always flow and forcing yourself to do something never really feels right. I still intend to "Create" content, but will do so only when it feels right, be it a written or video post it won't matter to me as long as there is value to my clients and industry colleagues.
Last year I spent a great deal of time simplifying my office processes to make myself a more efficient mortgage broker. This year I'll be working to simplify the mortgage process for my clients. While there is already some great tools and technology in place there's room for improvement and some really exciting things ahead for my clients which I can't wait to share.
I have always found value in collaboration and will continue to do so with referral sources and industry colleagues in 2012. I look forward to sharing knowledge, learning and growing both professionally and personally this year.
And what about you? What would your three words be in 2012?

Legenday jazz saxophonist Von Freeman receives local and national accolades
Chicago-style jazz is bold and innovative. Nobody represents that better than the legendary tenor sax player Von Freeman, known to his many friends, fans and fellow musicians as "Vonski." Back in the '40s, he shared the stage with such jazz luminaries as Charlie Parker and Dizzy Gillespie when they performed in Chicago. Unlike some of his contemporaries Freeman was not lured to New York to be part of the burgeoning be-bop scene. He remained loyal to his home-town roots and became the originator of the Chicago style of playing jazz on the tenor sax.
The other thing he's most famous for is mentoring hundreds of young musicians trying to learn the finer points of playing this music, holding court in the form of impromptu jam sessions at The New Apartment Lounge on Chicago's South Side for over 30 years. One of the grateful graduates of that school is Grammy Award-winning vocalist, Kurt Elling.
While the Chicago jazz community marveled at Freeman's extraordinary talent, national recognition mostly eluded him - until now. In June, the National Endowment for the Arts announced that Freeman would receive the nation's highest honor in jazz: The 2012 NEA Jazz Masters Award.
At almost 90 years old, he can still light it up. His tremendous impact on Chicago jazz will be celebrated with a tribute at Millenium Park on Thursday evening, July 28,at 6:30 p.m. to kick-off for the Made In Chicago World Class Jazz Concert Series, presented by the Chicago Department of Cultural Affairs and Special Events. The tribute will feature an all-star lineup performing some of Freeman's original music. The celebration of a true original: Von Freeman!

I recently read someone's blog which said many people do not believe in the connection between mind and body. Can this be true? I thought that was a settled question, long ago. When people would ask me to prove it when I said mind and body were connected, I would simply ask: "If I said something totally embarrassing to you, would you blush?"
And of course there is oh so obvious connection between a photo of a sexy woman and the physiological result of an erection in a man. How can anyone doubt the power of the mind over the body?
For years and years I have been using a semi-self hypnosis to relax myself when at the dentist's office. In fact I practically fall asleep when I recline in the dentist's chair because I am so programmed to relax.
But it goes farther still, when something really potentially painful is happening, such as the labor and birth process in a woman. Attitude and mindset are key in being able to let your body expand with each contraction. This has been proven over and over and yet many women are not told about it. There is another mindset going on here. That is the one that says your doctor knows what is best. Just do everything you are told and you will be fine.
This is a prescription for disaster. But women persist in believing this way. Don't be one of them. Do your research. Learn about the power of your own mind. It is unbelievable. And it will help you have the best birth possible for you.
There are courses you can take such as:
Be sure to let me know if this helps you.

As you can see I have reworked my website. I thought it was time to become a little bit more serious and get rid of the senseless rubbish. For the future I will write 95% on programming or Computer Science in general. Hopefully there will be some more valuable posts and a higher rate of posts per month.
You may also have recognized that I write in English now. In my opinion it is necessary to have good English skills, especially as a programmer. Most of high quality literature is only availaible in English, open source projects communicate in English, API's and manuals are in English and so on. So, I hope to improve my writing skills in English and I hope to reach more people than before.
But wait, what about the category German ? In my humble opinion some of my old articles are worth keeping them. At least some people discovered them through google, so they seem to be valuable somehow.
I'm looking forward to get some comments on what I have done so far, and especially on the future posts!
