They call me beautiful
I know man, what is with the self absorbed title.
So recently, yesterday I mean, I found out Facebook has a "Other messages" inbox, where I receive messages from people who are not my friends. After SO LONG being a Facebook addict, I didn't even know this existed.
And on the first day of my discovery, I found out too, I have 50 messages from strangers that are all similar to the ones below :
I know I'm a miracle but wah, I got so beautiful ah ?
Ok la, I know I beautiful.
Creepiest thing is these men look like old uncles. Paedophiles, paedophiles everywhere.
Kids, stay away from strangers on Facebook.
I know this is spam.
No I am not flattered.
It would be really pathetic if I am. Feeling flattered by spam messages lol.
Anyway, have you guys heard of the blog that posted tons of pictures of sweet young Malaysians ? So creepy what people can find about us through the internet. Be careful, girls !

Sheriff Davis went to Terre Haute yesterday where he arrested John McNanaman, who is an operator for the Southern Indiana railroad at a station near that city. McManaman was brought here and placed in jail and will be given a preliminary hearing on a charge of bastardy preferred by Lora Layton, of Westport. McManaman was formerly in the employ of the Southern Indiana at Westport.

18th October 2011. 'This is a live resurrection that we've invited you to, so you better be careful.' This flippant comment from Ian Brown on the date of the official reunion of The Stone Roses would go on to capture the spirit, mentality and excitement of the nation's most prominent musical dream.
Since 1989, the world has been a very different place for the British and lovers of their music. The drab, dull nature of our tiny Island was manipulated by the luscious loops of John Squire, the lyrical lexicon of Ian Brown, the loose licks of Gary Mounfield and the labyrinthine lynchpin that was Alan Wren in such a way that our culture has never quite recovered. And so you can only begin to imagine the elation that filled the air upon hearing this band were back for more and had promised new music! So why is it that six years later so many fans of the band seem disappointed with what this reunion has provided us with? I'm going to try and discuss in this article the many merits and odd flaw that have arose from the return of the greatest band of this century.
Following the press conference given to officially announce this return the band embarked on a world tour hitting their key locations of Ireland, Japan and of course, Manchester where the band's two huge dates at Heaton Park sold 150,000 tickets in 11 minutes prompting a third date to be added. However before any of this happened, The Stone Roses announced a surprise gig at Warrington Parr Hall exclusive only to fans who brought band merchandise. This deeply intimate gig in front of 1,000 joyous and dedicated fans is some of the most exciting live stuff of the reunion and was documented expertly by Shane Meadows in 'Made of Stone' which for my money is reason enough for the band's second coming. Meadows' work in regards to all of that film is perfect but it is most visibly tender when he and his camera crew stand outside the Warrington venue and interview many of these very fans whose stories and emotions fill every inch of whatever size screen you can see this film on.
And from there the band went from strength to strength, Heaton Park was a success comparable only to Spike Island, Coachella saw the band on top form even if the crowd were bemused and even the music press were enamoured with the greatest hit sets the band had been touring with. Following this a selection of dates at The Etihad Stadium were announced, one of which was my first time seeing The Roses, and once again these tickets sold out incredibly quickly however what truly shook up the world happened one month and three days before the first concert took place. The Stone Roses finally blessed us all with new music.
'All For One' was the first of the new material released and was first played on Radio 1 just before 8 PM 12 May 2016, almost five years since the band reformed. I, as so many others were, was listening intently to the radio, ear pressed to the speaker waiting for what was thought to never happen. To avoid any excess noise, I laid on my bathroom floor next to my radio with my phone recording so that I would be able to listen to the track multiple times even if there had been a delay before the track was put online. The track erupted into the band's back catalogue as it would later erupt from the speakers of stadiums across the country. The track has been criticised for its simplicity and lack of weight and yet I feel that as an anthemic ode to unity, it is bright, bubbly and brash. It is certainly a weak track when placed against the other masterworks the band have produced in their time but nevertheless it is still a Roses track through and through and it certainly satiated, momentarily, the fans need for new music.
Next was 'Beautiful Thing', a track released nearly a month later at Midnight on the ninth of June. I, once again, went to great lengths to hear the song properly staying up all night and listening to the track enough times to know all of the lyrics before I went to bed that night. It seems I wasn't alone as this 7 minute epic went on to receive much greater critical acclaim and fan acceptance than 'All For One.' Fans and critics alike praised the more psychedelic nature of the track, the more sprawling lyrical content and the general complexity the band put forward.
Overall, the tweets following the release of each track and posts on the band's fan site suggest that I wasn't alone in my obsession with hearing each track and that most fans seemed to at least mildly enjoy both tracks, however many old-school fans voiced disappointment with the material and even addressed fears that the band may swap some classics for these new tracks on their live setlist. In truth only 'All For One' would land onto the setlist making it's live debut on June 7 2016 at another surprise, smaller gig this time in Halifax. 'Beautiful Thing' would remain unperformed aside from Ian singing it's chorus along with 52,000 other fans at The Roses final gig at Hampden Park.
There is one event I have deliberately avoided mentioning when writing this piece and that is the infamous 'Reni leaves stage incident.' On June 12 2012 the group played their third ever gig as a reformed band, a Music Hall in Amsterdam. During the concert Reni's earpiece had been giving him trouble and interference lead to him struggling to play and so when the band left stage for an encore Reni ditched the performance leaving the band drummer-less and unable to go on. Ian relayed this information to the crowd in a deliberately antagonistic way and even went as far as calling Reni a "cunt". This incident inflamed age old rumours regarding Ian and Reni's dislike for one another, rumours that would later return as the band's split seemed imminent. Whilst hardly the death of the reunion that the music press had described it as, it becomes painfully obvious that this highlighted what would become a growing divide between two of the band's most divisive members.
Arguably the most important element, and the element that has truly cemented this reunion as the most important musical event of the last decade is the healing of the rift between generations of baggy-clad ravers. The Roses first defined a generation in the nineties when the loose hippies celebrating acid and the 'second summer of love' flocked to Spike Island and created a sea of bucket hats, an aroma of pot and an event that lives on in mythology. Amongst these were The Gallagher Brothers whose floppy hair and flared jeans kept the spirit of early 90's subculture rolling and when the World's cameras were pointed at Oasis during the height of their powers, the pair waxed poetic about Ian Brown and Co, specifically 'Sally Cinnamon' and in doing so turned a whole load of Britpop teenagers onto The Stone Roses. This sequence of inspiration, acknowledgment and revival would keep going in the years between their breakup and would create a stream of fans who grew younger and younger. And yet something special happened with this reunion. Every gig was a spectacle, every kid into indie music put a lemon in their social media usernames, bucket hats were back and parents, children, aunties, uncles, brothers and sisters all became one and The Stone Roses fan-base grew ever more diverse. Suddenly it was cool to raid your parents wardrobe and go to gigs with them wearing matching bucket hats, it was cool to share CDs and I honestly believe The Roses are a great point of connection between me and my parents as well families up and down the country. The Stone Roses preached and practiced what no other band ever could. One love.
And then it was over. Following two shows at Leeds First Direct Arena, rumours began to fly about The Roses split following a supposed leak sharing news that Hampden Park was to be the band's last ever gig. Soon after, fans began to post pictures from signings telling us that the band themselves had confirmed this was it for The Roses and before long it seemed set in stone. After an amazing gig at Hampden Park Ian dropped the final comment that solidified to so many the conclusion of the band: "Don't be sad that it's over, be happy it happened". This was it, arena tours, new tracks and generational crossovers finished with a single line. However the lack of official announcement following this obvious finale begs the question, is this just another hiatus? Could there be a third coming?
And would we even want it? It has become a point of contention for fans of the band, across fan pages and forums as to whether it all lived up to the hype. Whether the band that we never thought could have reformed ever should have done. And in conclusion I think so. This reunion has offered me and the rest of my generation the chance we never had, the opportunity to see The Stone Roses live, to be a part of the cultural phenomenon that you can't put into words, to feel the spirituality of The Roses. The band were always on top form performing setlists of golden material and releasing two songs, both of which are excellent for seemingly juxtaposed reasons, one a rollicking call for peace, the other a slower jam questioning the psychedelia of relationships and society. I have seen it argued that this was a nostalgia trip, a chance for fans to hear their favourite tracks and nothing more but I then ask: in this age of political turmoil and oppression, what could be more uplifting than the chance for so many of us to share in our celebration of something we love? And this return has given us that, it has provided us with unity in a time where that seems so far away and has brought us all together in a way nobody but The Stone Roses can and whether they continue or not their music is forever immortal.

BALTMORE- UMBC dug itself a deep first-half hole and could not climb all the way out, falling to visiting Vermont, 67-55, at the RAC Arena.
Sophomore reserve guard Joey Getz (Philadelphia, Pa./Archbishop Wood) and senior wing Brian Neller (Red Bank, N.J./Christian Bros. Acad.) led UMBC with 12 points each. Senior guard Ryan Cook (Laurel, Md./Palotti) scored all ten of his points in the second half.
Vermont (9-2 America East, 16-7) junior forward Clancy Rugg, UVM's America East Player of the Game, led all scorers with 18 points and added 10 rebounds. Junior forward Brian Voelkel added 16 rebounds and the duo combined to outrebound the smaller Retrievers. Vermont won the battle of the boards, 42-24, although points in the paint were even at 20-all and UMBC outscored the Catamounts, 10-9, on second chance points.
Relying solely on a perimeter game, UMBC (4-7 AE, 6-18) misfired on 10 of its first 12 shots and fell behind, 13-4, nine minutes into the game. Vermont built the lead to 32-13 with 2:21 to play before Neller hit back-to-back treys on UMBC's next two possessions.
The Catamounts took a 34-19 advantage to the locker room. They were never able to completely break away, building three leads of 17 points. UMBC would cut the deficit to ten points on two occasions, at 50-40 with 9:16 to play and to 58-48 with 5:15 remaining, but the Catamounts answered both times.
The Retrievers' final surge occurred when Getz hit a trey with 2:17 remaining and fed junior forward Chase Plummer (Plainfield, N.J./St. Patrick) for a layup with 1:35 to play and the hosts were within eight points at 63-55. Already in the double bonus, the Catamounts used the entire shot clock down the stretch and time ran out on the Retrievers.
Getz, UMBC's America East Player of the Game, hit 4-of-6 shots from the floor, and 2-of-3 from the line and behind the arc. He added six rebounds and three assists.
Vermont has now won seven of its last eight contests.
UMBC was whistled for 24 fouls, sending Vermont to the line 33 times. The Catamounts were 23-of-33 from the stripe, while the hosts were 8-of-11. UMBC converted one more field goal and one more trey than did the visitors.
UMBC takes to the road for two straight, first traveling to New Hampshire for a Wednesday evening contest.

As a Pennsylvania nursing home lawyer, I frequently use witnesses to abusive behavior at nursing homes when my cases go to trial. Those witnesses are not always experts in what constitutes abuse; they are simply the people who happened to be nearby when the incident occurred. So I was interested to see a recent ruling from the Missouri Supreme Court saying the testimony of a non-expert witness is enough to prove that a nurse knowingly abused a patient. In Stone v. Missouri Department of Health Services, the complaint was actually from the nurse, Catherine Ann Stone, who was appealing a temporary disqualification from working that stemmed from allegations that she abused a patient.
Stone was a charge nurse at a nursing home; part of her job was to dispense medication to patients who needed it. In the incident underlying her case, she had to give medication to K.S., a female patient with dementia and mental disabilities who was known to become agitated and violent when receiving mediation. The instructions for K.S. said to leave her alone if this happened and try again later. On this occasion, after K.S. knocked a spoon away from her mouth and hit Stone in the shoulder, Stone asked a nursing assistant to restrain the arm. Stone then forced the spoon into the patient's mouth, pushing her head forcefully against the back of a wheelchair. A dietary aide who witnessed this said K.S. was upset and crying, and took steps to calm her down rather than remove her from the dining room, as Stone instructed.
The dietary and nursing aides reported the incident and Stone was suspended, then fired. The incident was also reported to the state, which concluded that the incident was abuse and Stone would be disqualified from working as a nurse in Missouri for 18 months. Stone filed an administrative appeal, which she lost. She then appealed to state trial court, which reversed the decision, saying expert testimony was needed to show that K.S. suffered any physical or emotional harm. The state appealed.
The Supreme Court started by noting that the "injury or harm" necessary to find abuse is not defined by the statute or caselaw. However, previous nursing home abuse decisions had established that there is a low threshold for finding injury or harm, and that the mere fact of striking a patient necessarily involves injury or harm. In those decisions, expert testimony was not necessary. The same applies here, the Supreme Court said. Laypeople may testify as to what they experienced, and no special expertise is necessary to determine whether someone with mental disabilities is suffering. The court also found that Stone committed the abuse knowingly, because a reasonable person would have known that it would be emotionally distressing for K.S. to be held down and force-fed her medication, especially because she was known not to like her medication. Thus, the Supreme Court reversed the trial court and authorized the state to disqualify Stone from nursing for 18 months.
As a Philadelphia injury lawyer, I believe the court was right to find that a lay witness is enough to establish whether an action constituted abuse of a person with dementia. I believe most people would be emotionally distressed if they were physically held down and force-fed medication. A person with mental disabilities is not likely to feel differently about it, although it may be harder for that person to express it. In fact, judging by the facts laid out in this opinion, K.S. reacted with clear signs of fear and distress: screaming, crying and attempts to move away. Improper restraints are a clear type of Pennsylvania nursing home abuse, because they restrict the patient's liberty and autonomy for the convenience of the nursing home's staff. As a Philadelphia medical malpractice lawyer, I believe nursing homes can and should do better, even if it requires them to take a little more care.
If your family suffered serious nursing home abuse in eastern Pennsylvania, don't hesitate to call Rosenbaum & Associates to discuss how we can help. For a free, confidential evaluation of your case, send us a message online or call 1-800-7-LEGAL-7 today.

And perhaps you should think about beginning a new newsletter? Are there regularly updated Navajo language materials, blogs in Navajo, etc? If not, then there is a need right? Keep up the great work!

That's great! I am sure that they are copies floating around. I know what it's like to go on a wild goose chase for text.

You should look at the UNM library or the Navajo Nation Museum library. Also, don't forget there are many Navajo language films out there!

Hi Krystal,
My dad brought home the Navajo Times today and when I saw your face, I was like, "Hey, I know her!" Congratulations on the success of your blog! I'm glad to hear of your strengthened resolve to learn the language; such is the case for many Dine people our age. And I'm glad to see you taking it beyond Sis. Preston's class. :)
Let me know if things don't work out with UNM's interlibrary loan. I have also requested through my university, Cornell, for a copy of Adahoonilighii. I'll let you know if and when they get in.
Hope you are well!

The Language Library at the University of New Mexico has many, many recordings in Navajo of ceremonies and the Language Lab as well. I wonder if we could start a movement to secure funding to get Navajo on Rosetta subsidized for Native students? I feel a revolution and I appreciate your efforts. Ahe'hee' !!

Her Husband: Hughes and Plath, Portrait of a Marriage
The Bell Jar: A Novel by Sylvia Plath
Sylvia Plath was an influential enough poet and novelist to have become the
subject of books analyzing her life, work, and career. Amazon.com lists no
less than 163 by or about her. Feeding this interest, of course, is her
untimely death, a suicide at age 30. Both from the point of intellectual
curiosity as well as from scandal-seeking, her marriage to an already
acclaimed poet, Ted Hughes, who will become Britains' poet laureate, is grist
for the gossip mill and commercializing her (and this film's) appeal. One
popular thesis is that her tragedy was caused by pressures brought to bear
upon her by Hughes' philandering and bad marriage manners. But a
condemnation of him this is not, particularly as the scenario is based on
Hughes' own work, "Birthday Letter."
As rendered in this biopic, Ted Hughes (Daniel Craig) is little more than the
usual straying husband, but the effect his choices have on his mentally
delicate wife Sylvia Plath (earnestly dedicated Gwyneth Paltrow) bring her
too close to the edge she's approached before. She's thought of suicide as a
solution to emotional sufferomg when she was nine, following the death of her
But before that morsel gets out, the account starts by suggesting how Plath
and Hughes meet on campus, she the Cambridge Fulbright scholar striving to
get her poetry published; he the recognized talent and handsome genius whose
poetry she adores. At first opportunity, she makes a move on him and they
discover an immediate sexual attraction. After collegial discourse and
considerable intercourse, they marry and come to America where his reputation
as a poet grows into a career. Sylvia accepts a teaching position and
struggles with her writing, but with some good pieces making their way out of
her typewriter.
The early part of the marriage is one of bliss and mutual understanding
between artists on the level of creativity. It, perhaps, takes a poet to
best appreciate the work and mindset of another, and that seems a
contributing factor to the early essentials of the relationship. But, as
time goes on, absences seem extended and Plath is overcome with nearly
debilitating paranoia when she sees young female students swarming her
husband with adulation.
If there was no basis for her suspicions before, her new frame of mind could
drive any man away from the arms of his apparent soul mate and we see him
having the affair that he's been accused of. To preserve the marriage, the
couple returns to England and starts a family, leading to a productive period
as to babies and poetry. She gets a book of poetry published, followed by
other works.
When Ted strays again, the marriage is finished, leaving Sylvia to sink into
the dark torment of instability and bringing despair and pain into her work.
After writing her novel, "The Bell Jar", which was published, and "Ariel",
her best-known work of poetry, she tragically ended her life. "Ariel" was
published posthumously.
Paltrow, a wonderfully gifted actress, takes us into the particular details
of a creative mind with a mortal flaw. The performance is wrenching and
uncomfortable, but as emotionally driven as it is, there remains a distance.
This is not anyone I can relate to. Unless you're an artist with an abiding
pain and a tendency toward finality as a satisfactory means to end it, you're
not likely to get drawn in.
Paltrow's portrayal managed to make me feel chilled and discomforted by the
anguish of her subject, but as an observer -- not a viscerally involved
participant. I don't relate to anyone who can even consider suicide as a
solution and the idea of so gifted a person as Plath brings me to grieve her
weakness instead of celebrating her creative strength.
Hughes is rendered by director Christine Jeffs and writer John Brownlow with
even greater detachment, perhaps to reserve the necessary focus on the
dramatic side of the match. This natural course for the screenplay resulted
in changing the original title, "Ted and Sylvia" to the necessarily
abbreviated and more succinct one it went with.
The film can boast an appropriately deep and foreboding look under the
direction of cinematographer John Toon. Tech credits and supporting cast
(with the notable Michael Gambon a special treat) are tops.
The tenor of this biography can't help but bring to mind the similarly tragic
life and death of another literary suicide, that of Virginia Woolf, intensely
portrayed by Nicole Kidman in "The
Hours." The Plath story might have been inspired by the success of the
earlier work but it is no more truly enlightening or gripping. As a
movie about a psychologically impaired life, the term "soap opera" comes to

In part 2 of our series where we talk to amazing parents that are making non-toxic living easier for themselves as well as the rest of us, Non-Toxic Munchkin had the opportunity to speak to Camilla Kim, Owner and CEO of Three Happy Coconuts; a certified organic collection of mattresses, pillow toppers and pillows.
Growing up in South Korea, Camilla was inspired when her father founded the country's first all-natural mattress company; Palmpring. Nineteen years later, married, with two little girls, and living in Los Angeles, Camilla was looking for non-toxic mattresses for her daughters and saw a need for more variety and accessibility in the non-toxic sleeping market, so this mom decided to launch Three Happy Coconuts.
What makes Three Happy Coconut's mattresses a non-toxic alternative to a standard mattress and a great place to buy your little munchkins crib mattress? They do not use any synthetic materials: all of their products use certified organic materials inside and out - so there are no worries regarding toxicity or the possibility of metal springs emitting electromagnetic fields. Additionally, the materials used are all hypo-allergenic so mold, bacteria, germs and dust mites don't settle in.
The main reason to worry about conventional crib mattresses are the flame retardants that are commonly sprayed on all polyurethane foam products to meet national flame standards (and many crib mattresses are made of polyurethane foam). These flame retardants have been associated with a host of health concerns including lower birth weight, reduced IQ (similar to lead poisoning), hyperactivity, lost coordination, reduced fertility, birth defects, hormonal changes, and cancer.
The mattresses that Camilla makes at Three Happy Coconuts are made of 100% organic coconut fiber and pure organic latex, and are covered in organic cotton with a layer of wool that acts as a non-toxic fire retardant. No chemicals needed so so your kiddos and you can sleep worry and toxic chemical free at night.
Non-Toxic Munchkin (NTM): What does non-toxic living mean to you?
Camilla Kim (CK): It means being as chemical free as possible, while not compromising my lifestyle.
NTM: Has this definition changed for you from before becoming a mother to after? If so, how?
CK: Yes. After having my daughters, I started looking harder for great quality products and becoming more conscious about the products I buy.
I wanted them to grow up in the best possible environment.
NTM: What are your top 3 non-toxic living hacks for parents ?
- Invest in chemical free products.
- Make things yourself as much as possible, especially quality organic food.
- Every free chance you get, surround yourself in nature.
CK: I started Three Happy Coconuts because I wanted my daughters to be safe while sleeping and not being exposed to toxic and harsh chemicals.
Thanks to Camilla for taking the time to answer our questions, and creating a non-toxic mattress alternative that parents can choose and know, with certainty, they are not exposing their little munchkins to toxic chemicals. If you are interested in learning more about the non-toxic crib mattress which retails for $599 (or any other mattress in their line) visit their website or, if you are in the Los Angeles area, visit the Three Happy Coconuts/Palmpring showroom located at 3006 Wilshire Blvd, Los Angeles, 90010.

One of deepest Lake Michigan wrecks found
by Philip Reynolds
One of the deepest wrecks ever discovered in Lake Michigan has been located off the shores of the city of Muskegon.
The wreck is that of the 65.2 metre steamship John V Moran, which was lost on the night of 9 February 1899, after being holed by ice.
The John V Moran was delivering a consignment of flour and packaged goods from Milwaukee on the western shore of the great lake to Muskegon, which lies nearly 90 miles away on the eastern shore.
Lake Michigan is a renowned ship graveyard with, according to many maritime historians, at least a 2,000 wrecks resting on the lakebed. Most have been broken up by the passage of time but the Michigan Shipwreck Research Association say the John V Moran is still largely intact.
At the time it sank the John V Moran, owned by the Union Transit Company, had been in service 11 years. Despite being built with an iron-reinforced hull, designed specially for winter work, the ship was overcome by the extreme conditions she encountered over 116 years ago.
The ship's captain, John McLeod, dumped much of her cargo to try to keep her afloat but as water began pouring in through the hole a torn open by ice, the John V Moran began to sink.
Captain McLeod and his 24-man crew faced a potentially deadly decision: stay on their ship and await rescue or take to the ice and try to reach the safety of steamer Naomi, which was three miles away.
They chose to walk on the ice in what was reported at the time to be -30C degree temperatures and blew their distress whistle to alert Naomi.
Dragging a lifeboat across the ice, three crewmen started walking toward Naomi with only beams from their lanterns to light their path. They managed to get the attention of Naomi, which then began ploughing through the frozen lake to reach the crew of the John V Moran. As Naomi drew near the remaining 22 men carefully crossed the ice and climbed aboard. Fortunately, everyone survived.
According to newspaper accounts of the time, early the next morning, the John V Moran was still afloat. The Naomi then tried to tow the stricken vessel toward Muskegon, but it became clear that it would not make the 15 miles to shore and she was left to her fate - until now.
Last month, a team with the Michigan Shipwreck Research Association located the John V Moran during a sonar search. Because the shipwreck sits 365ft under the lake, the group decided to wait for the water to warm before diving to it.
With help from the Michigan State Police Underwater Recovery Unit, the team was able to reach the wreck on 8 July, just over 116 years after the ship sank.
Craig Rich, a co-director of the Michigan Shipwreck Research Association, said the John V Moran is one of the best preserved wrecks in the Great Lakes. "Not a railing is missing. The mast is standing. The lights are standing. The anchors are in position. There's even glass still in the windows. The only thing missing from this wreck is the smokestack."
Experts have said it is one of the deepest wrecks ever discovered in the lake. Valerie van Heest, author, maritime historian and co-director of the MSRA, said: "Each year we define a goal and a ship we'd like to find."
Van Heest said the MSRA was able to narrow down the search area for the John V Moran to just a few square miles. "It was 3:30 in the morning on June 5 when several of our crew members were asleep. All of the sudden, the boat operator saw something on side-scan and woke everybody up in the dark of night."
This month, the group dropped a remotely operated underwater vehicle into the lake's murky depths and the John V Moran was seen for the first time in 116 years.

Friday Full-Length: Colour Haze, Tempel
Colour Haze, Tempel (2006)
Wherever you might lie on the political spectrum, it seemed important to me to close out this week with something radiating love, and in the decade since it came out I've yet to put on Colour Haze's Tempel and hear or feel anything else from it.
One doesn't generally think of a band's eighth album as being a particularly landmark moment in their progression. By the time most acts get that far — and make no mistake, most acts don't — they've probably settled into their sound or at least solidified their processes to a point where they're kind of on autopilot, even if that autopilot involves a natural growth pattern. For Colour Haze, it was different. The Berlin trio's seventh outing, their 2004 self-titled (discussed here) had served as a stunning follow-up to the preceding 2001 double-album, Los Sounds de Krauts, and thrust the band to the fore of what seems in hindsight to have been a nascent movement of heavy psychedelia they'd spearhead both aesthetically and through the contributions of guitarist/vocalist Stefan Koglek's label, Elektrohasch Schallplatten. The challenge before them was how to answer the warmth and the expanse of the self-titled without repeating themselves, losing the ultra-organic sensibility that made that outing such a joy, or sacrifice songcraft in the process. No small task.
I remember getting Tempel as a fan of the band, putting it on, hearing "Fire" for the first time and immediately knowing they'd done it. From the gentle opening of the winding "Aquamaria" (also the longest track on the album; immediate points) down through later liquefication of "Ozean" and the harmonized finale "Stratofarm," Tempel presented a vision of psychedelic heft that seemed to need neither but fed off both. The chemistry between Koglek, bassist Philipp Rasthofer and drummer Manfred Merwald was all it needed to convey this — underscoring the point of just how special a group Colour Haze had become. To listen to "Mind" or "Gold and Silver" or the memorable instrumental title-track, they bring forth a varied approach that ties together with fluidity that few beyond Colour Haze can claim to have matched in the years since, classic in style but perhaps even more so now sounding fresh and like something that was genuinely new. One could hear shades of their earlier and more strictly desert rocking work in the later thrust of "Gold and Silver" and the subsequent shuffle of "Earth," which follows, reminding of records like 1999's Periscope, 2000's CO2 or 2001's Ewige Blumenkraft, but even these are met with shimmering organ and/or a depth of tone that were a definitive forward step even from where Colour Haze were two years earlier.
A couple weeks ago, I was having an email back and forth with someone whose opinion I greatly respect, and the conversation turned to Colour Haze. My thoughts were simple: People still don't know how incredible this band is. I genuinely feel that way. As much as Koglek, Rasthofer and Merwald have helped to influence a generation of European heavy psych, played a large role in establishing what those words mean when placed in succession, they're still somehow underrated. Their progression would continue from Tempel on through 2008's spectacular All, 2012's much-delayed but glorious 2LP She Said (review here), and late-2014's surprise outing, To the Highest Gods We Know (review here), the touring for which also resulted in earlier-2016's Live Vol. 1 – Europa Tournee 2015 (review here). I haven't heard from them in a bit, but I wouldn't be the least surprised if they had new stuff in the works for next year or 2018 as well. They never seem to stop, which of course is another part of the appeal. One hopes that if they keep going perpetually, they'll finally get the recognition they deserve.
As always, I hope you enjoy.
Hug someone you love. Pet your dog or your cat. Write something on the internet. Smoke what you smoke. Drink what you drink. Eat what you eat. Do whatever you have to do to get by. I don't really want to say much about politics in this space. Somehow I've become increasingly wary of doing so over the last couple years. When I was at The Aquarian I wrote a political column every week, often little more than a 700-800 word rant about something pissing me off. I was younger, and drunk. Apart from these posts, which have become half-personal update, half-music (not that music's not personal), I don't do that here, or really on Thee Facebooks either.
What I will note is that this election affected me on a personal and emotional level in a way no presidential contest has done in my 35 years. The anxiety beforehand — for months beforehand — and the shock and sadness at the result have been much, much deeper than I expected them to be. I'm actually a pretty political guy, comparatively. I keep up on issues, news of the day, who's doing what and so on to the best of my ability. This isn't the first time I've ever paid attention. But yeah, it's been like nothing I've ever felt before, even during the Bush/Cheney years. Of course, as a straight white male, it ain't like the Supreme Court's coming to take away my rights or like my healthcare is less secure — though state funding for public higher ed., in which The Patient Mrs. works and from which our insurance comes, is more of a question in an arena of increased privatization and budget slashing — but there are people I love whose lives will change directly for the worse because of what happened in my country on Tuesday night. I have a niece whom I worship and adore who will enter her formative years under a president who has openly bragged about sexually assaulting women, and yes, that hurts. It should hurt.
That's all I'll say about it. For now. If shit goes full-on 2006-levels-of-despair, I may need to establish some kind of rant space around here just so I don't lose my fucking mind. We'll see.
Here's what's in the notes for next week. Subject to change:
Mon. – Full album stream/review of the new Borracho.
Tue. – Season of Arrows track premiere.
Wed. – Ice Dragon's new single reviewed.
Thu. – EYE's new album reviewed day before release.
Fri. – Full album stream/review of The Munsens.
That's where we're at for now. I have a couple fest writeups to work on as well, so will be busy over the weekend one way or another. But I've also got my best friend up from NJ for the next couple days, and I got my Playstation 4 Pro yesterday and a demo of Final Fantasy XV that I'm looking forward to digging into further, and The Patient Mrs. is very likely buying a new car today to replace the one that died en route to The Obelisk All-Dayer in August, so yeah, there's kind of a lot going on. My sister also had a special birthday yesterday, which I'll note because I love her deeply and was sorry to not be there for it. She's also in Jersey, along with the rest of my family.
You should also know that revisiting Tempel has been inspiration enough to re-load the complete Colour Haze catalog into my iTunes — it's been there previously but was removed; software stuff; long story — so I expect that will be a good portion of the weekend's fare as well, which can only be to the benefit of the next few days.
I hope whatever you're up to you have a great time and that you stay safe.
Please check out the forum and the radio stream.

The other thing on my list to talk about this week was beauty related. Cheap stuff to buy to put on your face to make it look better. Junk like that. And you'll probably still hear about it.
But I also had a conversation with my husband today that's been on my mind, and it just seems so much more important to talk about than rose salve.
It turns out, we've both been feeling less than satisfied with our appearance lately, and sadly, feeling bad about the way we look can spill over into other areas of life, making us both feel generally unpleasant. I think it's something that everybody struggles with. There's the pressure from the media to have a certain body, or to always look flawless. And then there's the flip side of feeling guilty for even caring about your appearance when you know there are so many people who don't even have access to clean water or other basic needs. So why am I worried about my haircut? Jeezy creezy, I'm such a jerk.
So, you'd think I'm writing words and putting them on the internet, so I should have a solution. But I'm just a girl with a laptop and a big mouth. I don't have all the answers.
What I do know is that if you walk around owning your look, owning your body and your hair and your clothes and all of it, if you walk around with your chin up and a smile on your face, that's the only thing people will notice. Confidence is beauty. That's all most people can see. The only ones who will criticize you are those people who are damaged by their own insecurity.
And if you have to fake it for a while, do it! People will react positively to you, which will boost your confidence until it's real.
I'm not always able to do this. Probably most people aren't, but I think it's worth reminding ourselves. Everybody was born with a body that they struggle to love. Most of us wake up in the morning wishing there was something different about the way we look, even if everybody we know thinks we look great. What if we all just started at least pretending like we thought we looked awesome? No arrogance. Just confidence.
I'm going to give it a try. Fake it 'til you make it. If I love myself a little more, I can show more love to others, and that's the whole reason we're here.

EDMONTON - Anthony Calvillo may only be a few days from 40, but you wouldn't have known it on Friday night.
Calvillo passed for four touchdowns and 327 yards as the Montreal Alouettes vaulted into sole possession of first place in the CFL East with a convincing 38-25 victory over the Edmonton Eskimos at Commonwealth Stadium.
"The game was won up front," said Calvillo, who celebrates his birthday on Thursday. "The offensive linemen really put up a performance that was amazing. I didn't get touched pretty much the entire game. Our defence won their side of the line of scrimmage. When you do that you are going to win a lot of games."
"This was a huge win for us," added backup quarterback Adrian McPherson, who scored Montreal's fourth TD. "A lot of guys were injured, but other guys stepped up and made the most of the opportunity. It gives us some momentum."
The Alouettes improved to 4-3, jumping ahead of both the Toronto Argonauts and Hamilton Ticats, who have three wins apiece.
"I truly believe we are getting better," Calvillo said. "We're playing at a level that we thought we should be playing. The challenge now is to stay there. Earlier in the year we were taking one step forward, one step back. This was two steps forward."
The Eskimos dropped to 4-3 with their first loss at Commonwealth Stadium, remaining in a first-place tie in the West with the B.C. Lions.
"I'm extremely disappointed in our efficiency," said Eskimos head coach Kavis Reed. "Montreal came out and executed exceptionally well and we did everything except execute. We tried to dig ourselves out of a hole but that Montreal team is too good to try and dig yourselves back from a 28-point hole."
Montreal wasted no time getting on the board on their first possession with a surgical march down the field capped off by a 14-yard touchdown pass from Calvillo to fullback Patrick Lavoie.
Montreal's next drive wasn't nearly as clean as Calvillo was picked off on his own 32-yard line by linebacker J.C. Sherritt. But on the very next play, Edmonton gave it right back as Steven Jyles was intercepted on the goal line by Montreal's Kyries Hebert.
The Alouettes forced another turnover late in the opening quarter as the Esks turned over the ball on downs at their own 32 after a botched punt attempt. Calvillo made the most of the gaffe, passing for a 30-yard TD to Brian Bratton for a 14-0 lead.
Montreal continued to dominate into the second quarter as Calvillo found Victor Anderson for a 21-yard passing TD. He followed that up with a 37-yard pass to Brandon London to set up a one-yard plunge by McPherson for a 28-0 lead midway through the second.
Edmonton responded with a punt single, earning a mocking cheer from the crowd.
The cheers turned real with a minute remaining in the half as a pass interference call in the end zone led to a one-yard plunge by backup quarterback Kerry Joseph as the Eskimos cut the score to 28-8 at the half.
The two teams traded field goals in the third before Calvillo struck again, hitting S.J. Green for a 62 yard gain before finding Green again for a 13-yard touchdown and a 38-11 lead heading into the final quarter.
Edmonton came back with a single on a missed field goal before adding seven points on a 19-yard scoring pass from Jyles to Greg Carr on the heels of a Rod Williams interception.
The Eskimos made the score look much more favourable with five minutes remaining as a Montreal punt hit an Alouettes player and was scooped up for a five-yard TD by Clint Kent.
The Alouettes return home to face Hamilton next Thursday. The Eskimos are off until Monday, Aug. 27, when they travel to Toronto to face Ricky Ray and the Argos.
Notes: Edmonton Eskimos running back Cory Boyd made his debut. The league-leading rusher in the CFL through six games, Boyd was released by the Toronto Argonauts and signed by Edmonton in a flurry of activity Sunday. Boyd was used sparingly in his debut behind Hugh Charles. … Out of the lineup with injuries for the Alouettes were running back Brandon Whitaker (ribs) and receiver Jamel Richardson (hamstring). … Calvillo, who turns 40 on Thursday, entered the match as the league's leading passer. ... Edmonton now has a five-game losing skid against Montreal extending to July 30, 2009… Friday's match was the 300th regular season game played at Edmonton's Commonwealth Stadium.

The Wizard of Oz, by
Saturday, June 30, 2007
Just got home from WOZ at the Blackwell Playhouse tonight, and I have to concur with all of the other reviews. What a great show. It is clear there is experience behind this production. The show seems to perfectly cast.
Seems to still be a bit of an issue with sound, but I think that is a limitation of the venue from what I can tell. This show would be tremendous if they had more funding and better facilities. I agree, would love to see you take it on the road!
P.S. - What a cute little dog, and so well behaved. Is he really from a shelter?
They have extended the show through next weekend so if you haven't seen it yet, I highly recommend it.
I hope the quality of the shows at this venue remains this way, because I am sure to come back if that is the case. Well done!

The story of Google's cultural battle in China
|Kai-Fu Lee
Here is the best story we've read so far about Google's entry into China, a 10-page opus written by Clive Thompson for the upcoming issue of the NYT Magazine. Here are a few summarizing thoughts:
The piece resonates with our own impressions during a trip to China a few months ago. It opens with a sketch of Kai-Fu Lee, the guy Google has hired to run its Chinese operations. The feeling you get is that this guy is one powerful antidote to any negative feelings fanned against Google by local Chinese competitor, Baidu. Baidu has tried to whip up nationalist antagonism by portraying Google as an American white-man imperialist.
But Google's Lee has apparently has become somewhat of a celebrity, leading what appears to be religious-like tent revivals. At one lecture, scalpers sold tickets for $60 apiece. At another event, Thompson reports, an audience of 8,000 showed up. You wouldn't see that happen here in Silicon Valley, even with our most popular tech evangelist, John Doerr.
And Lee appeals to the Chinese in ways that perhaps most Americans can't understand. The Chinese students Lee meets and employs, he tells Thomson, do not hunger for democracy.
"People are actually quite free to talk about the subject," he added, meaning democracy and human rights in China. "I don't think they care that much. I think people would say: 'Hey, U.S. democracy, that's a good form of government. Chinese government, good and stable, that's a good form of government. Whatever, as long as I get to go to my favorite Web site, see my friends, live happily.' "
We experienced the same sentiment among journalists during our visit (scroll down).
Thompson's reporting shows just how far the Chinese government has reached to help Baidu, to Google's detriment -- by finding ways to slap users of Google on the wrist, slowing down its Web site, etc. He explains how China's Internet depends on three main fiber-optic pipelines running across its borders, each of which are plugged with specially configured "router" switches that filter content -- built, ironically, by Cisco Systems, an American firm -- and serving as China's censors.
The piece also confirms more graphically what we've reported before about Baidu's initial appeal. Almost one-fifth of Baidu's traffic comes from searching for unlicensed MP3's that would be illegal in the United States -- much of it from the U.S. artists, for example, 50 Cent.
There is good color, too, on another part of Chinese business culture we experienced: No email.
Chinese businesspeople, for example, rarely rely on e-mail, because they find the idea of leaving messages to be socially awkward. They prefer live exchanges, which means they gravitate to mobile phones and short text messages instead.
Finally, the piece mentions something we didn't pick up on while there, about Yahoo. It cites one of China's top bloggers: The Chinese people hate Yahoo because it has put individual dissidents in serious danger "apparently without thinking much about the human damage." The Chinese can understand Google, at least, because it compromised in a way that didn't do that. And this story, hot off the presses about yet another dissident jailed, won't help Yahoo.

Tracked: May 13, 2006 9:05 PM
Excellent discussion and the Chinese market is going to be soon bigger than the US market and it is natural that google is paying serious attention that. However, I just think that Google should pay more attention to India as this market is also growing and people in India use Google in English a lot but I cannot see any special initiative by Google in South Asia. Google can try to have a stake in the mobile phone market in India. Indian mobile phone companies (http://www.southasiabiz.com/2006/04/free_sms_and_even_out_going_mo.html) are thinking of free (ad supported) SMS like free (ad supported) emails. Google can surely do a lot here.Razib Ahmed on April 21, 2006 2:42 AM

I specailize in emotional identity and cognitive behavioral education. Credited with being a dynamic speaker, my presence as a presenter and facilitator isn't about my ability to present stirring speeches, but instead to solidify my mission which is to stimulate provoking thought that will lead to authentic wellness.
Adam Alston, formerly incarcerated and now a junior majoring in engineering at the University of Maryland, explains the connection. "Reggie has been a positive influence in my life since our first encounter, either through direct enlightenment or connection through his network of peers. I have gained an invaluable pool of knowledge that has allowed me to awaken the greatness instilled in me."
I have dedicated my life to disrupting systemic structures, claimed experts, and polarizing practices that habitually marginalize the families and communities that I serve. It isn't my education or training that certifies me as a specialist, but my ability to authentically connect with my clients. I'm wise enough to realize the importance of allowing and encouraging the client to serve as experts in their restoration.
My devotion to the community was recognized by Donna F. Edwards. The former United States Representative honored me with a "Congressional Recognition Award for my Outstanding and Invaluable Service to Maryland's 4th Congressional District, and for improving the quality of life for men, women, and families. Mark Magaw, former Chief of Police for Prince George's County Police Department, honored me with an award for my work with violent offenders. From prisons and pulpits to classrooms and corporate training facilities I have delivered "HEALspiritational" messages.
Standing on the landscape of a legacy seeded by my ancestors - it is my responsibility to sow seeds of healing and restoration for the purpose of harvesting a vibrant and healthy people and community.

Fogoros, MD Updated on June 24, 2019 Jupiter Images / Getty Images More in Healthy Eating Eat Well Strategies Recipes Nutrition Facts Basics Sports Nutrition Weight Management Special Diets Supplements Kids' Nutrition View All When you spend time outside in hot weather you probably start to feel thirsty in a fairly short time. That's a normal response and one you should pay close attention to—it means your body needs more water to deal with the heat. Learn why this happens, the symptoms of dehydration, and how to ensure you are drinking enough water when the temperatures rise. Your Body Needs Water to Deal With Heat Your body functions best within a certain temperature range, and when you get too warm, it needs to cool off. There are a couple of ways your body accomplishes this cooldown. First, your blood vessels dilate to increase blood flow to the skin. This allows excess heat to radiate away from your body. Then, you also start to sweat. Evaporation of the sweat cools the skin, which in turn helps to cool the whole body. But, the problem is that excessive sweating can lead to dehydration. You sweat more when the temperature's hot, especially if you're working or exercising in the heat. Drinking water helps replenish the fluids lost by excessive sweating. If you don't get enough water, you may become dehydrated, and the combination of hot temperatures and dehydration can lead to serious heat-related illnesses. Signs You Need More Water For most people, thirst is a very good indication that you need more water. Even before you become dehydrated, you'll feel thirsty, and your mouth may feel dry or sticky. After a while, you may also become lethargic and fuzzy-headed. Other signs include reduced urine output (and the urine is dark yellow). You might even notice your eyes look a bit sunken and feel dry. Even a little dehydration can be a problem, so don't ignore those early signs. Even mild dehydration reduces your ability to think clearly and your physical coordination. Tips for Hydrating in Hot Weather Start hydrating right away. It's easier to maintain your fluid balance if you start out in a well-hydrated state.Schedule regular beverage breaks and keep a water bottle handy so you can take frequent sips of water while you work or exercise.Choose electrolyte-replacing drinks for maximum water absorption when you are exercising for more than an hour or when you are sweating excessively during exercise in hot weather.Drink water after you've finished work or an exercise session.Snack on fresh fruits that are rich in water, like berries, watermelon, peaches, and nectarines.Don't drink large amounts of plain water all at once—this can lead to hyponatremia or water-toxicity. This can also affect long-distance runners during races who push too many fluids. It is best to drink when thirsty during exercise and not push fluids. One way to gauge your hydration level is to look at the color of your urine. If you're well-hydrated, it should be pale. Also, you'll be urinating more frequently. Was this page helpful?

Manchester United's Luke Shaw could return for Champions League tie - sources
Luke Shaw is in line to return to the Manchester United squad for the Champions League tie against Young Boys following a concussion, sources have told ESPN FC.
Defender Shaw returned to Carrington on Monday after being forced off with a head injury during England's defeat to Spain on Saturday.
The 23-year-old has not yet returned to full training and is set to miss the trip to Watford on Saturday, but after being assessed by United's medical staff there is hope that he could return for the Champions League opener in Switzerland on Wednesday.
Under rules introduced at the start of the 2014-15 season, players are not allowed to return to competitive action for at least six days after suffering a concussion.
Left-back Shaw is likely to be replaced in Jose Mourinho's squad for the Premier League game against Watford by Diogo Dalot, who is fit again after knee surgery.
The 19-year-old, a summer signing from Porto, played 70 minutes for the under-23s against Stoke on Aug. 31 and trained with the first team this week.
Marcos Rojo is also nearing a return but a source has told ESPN FC it is "doubtful" that the Argentina international will see his first action of the season when the U23s face Reading at Old Trafford on Friday.
Meanwhile, sources have told ESPN FC that Marouane Fellaini could be included in the squad to face Watford despite withdrawing from the Belgium squad.
The 30-year-old midfielder has a minor back injury but could feature at Vicarage Road after his Man of the Match performance in the 2-0 win over Burnley prior to the international break.

NEW YORK (WFAN) — Red Storm head coach Steve Lavin joined Evan Roberts on Friday to talk about St. John's sudden resurgence in NCAA relevance.
St. John's took control in an 89-72 victory over No. 10 Connecticut on Thursday, the Red Storm's fourth win over a top-13 team this season at the Garden.
"We are pleased with the kids' efforts," Lavin said. "There's some quality wins, naturally there's some losses we'd like to have back."
If you're a top 10 team and you have plans on visiting New York, avoid Madison Square Garden.
"There are the positives. Notre Dame and Georgetown and at West Virginia, the Duke game and now UConn," Lavin said. "So we are building our resume, our body of work, or as they say, an argument to the selection committee."
LISTEN: Steve Lavin with Evan Roberts
Lavin said that the Red Storm has a leg up in the selection process because of "quality wins" over top opponents.
"Here's what we have going for us, we have the number one or number two strength of schedule in the country," Lavin explained.
The bottom line for Lavin, St. John's just has to win in order to "control our own destiny."
"We've got to win games," said the coach. "If you keep winning games, you take the decision out of the selection committee's hands."
An added bonus to finishing the season strong? According to Lavin, it's a good night's sleep.
"You get better rest on the eve of Selection Sunday if you know you've taken care of business in terms of how you finished."

Chinese paintings owe much of their unique appearance to the use of the Chinese ink brush and the Chinese paper (rice and silk). Additionally, there are four essential elements used in the creation of the Chinese painting; the brush, ink stick, paper, and ink stone. Collectively, these are known as the Four Treasures of the Study. The uses of these tools are a major difference between Western style paintings and Chinese paintings.
The second major difference between western style and Chinese paintings is the artistic pedagogy.
