After spending five years managing it, Linda Morris is the new owner of Sears of LaFollette.
In 1997, she began working at Sears in LaFollette and eventually worked her way up to manager. After managing the store for five years, Morris decided to buy the business after the former owners sold it back to Sears.
"Sears contacted me and asked if I wanted to buy it, and I thought, I've made all this money for all of those people for all of those years, and that's what brought it all about," said Morris.

Leahy, who had expressed concerns about the new ban, said he would support sending it to the full Senate so the debate could continue.
However, Feinstein's proposal is considered unlikely to overcome an expected Republican filibuster in the Senate.
"It's not going to achieve the goal its sponsors believe it will," argued Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, at the committee meeting.
He noted a study that showed the previous ban, which existed for 10 years, did little to reduce firearms violence, asking "are we really going to pass another laws that has zero effect and pat ourselves on the back?"
Feinstein contended her proposal would prohibit the kind of weapon used by a lone gunman in the Connecticut shooting.
The intent of the measure, which also would limit ammunition magazines to 10 rounds, was to "dry up" the supply of such firepower, she said.
Opponents including the NRA say such a ban violates the constitutional right to bear arms, while Feinstein and other supporters that include law enforcement groups note the previous ban survived several legal challenges.
The 1994 ban, which she also sponsored, expired a decade later when Congress didn't renew it.
On another issue, Republicans on the panel have expressed support for expanding the scope of mental health information submitted to the federal background check system used by gun sellers.
However, they differ with Democrats on other aspects of expanding background checks. Bipartisan talks have failed so far to come up with a compromise that would address the "gun show loophole," which critics say provides an avenue for people who know they cannot pass a background check to obtain guns through private sales.

Series: Understanding Randomness
In this series, Kathryn Applegate addresses the concern that randomness implies the absence of God's activity and involvement in the natural world. She begins by clearing up some common misconceptions about the concept of "randomness", and later focuses on the mechanisms of the immune system to demonstrate that God works through random processes to preserve life. Far from being an indication of a "godless" universe, one might conclude that randomness is one of God's favorite mechanisms for creating and sustaining life!
Where are the Transitional Fossils?
A common argument leveled against the theory of evolution is that scientists have not been able to produce transitional fossils that show the change of one species into another. In this podcast, we address a common misconception about what transitional fossils actually are.
Scientists Tell Their Stories: George Murphy
During his seminary education, Dr. Murphy also gained a deeper understanding of Luther's theology of the cross, and he realized that it's really the best way to approach the science and theology dialogue.
Oxygen and Co-Creation
In the mid-seventeenth century, John Mayow conducted a series of experiments in which he showed that burning candles in bell jars consumed one-fifth of the enclosed air before extinguishing. Remarkably, mice placed in bell jars did exactly the same thing...
Series: Recent Discoveries in Astronomy
In this excerpt from the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, astronomer Deborah Haarsma shares her excitement about recent findings about our universe from a Christian perspective.
Series: Biblical and Scientific Shortcomings of Flood Geology
Gregg Davidson and Ken Wolgemuth seek to remove the stumbling block of the Genesis flood in this four part series. Though many believe in an ancient world-wide flood, the evidence given does not hold up to geological scrutiny, but points rather to something regional instead. It is their hope that Christians will not walk away from faith in Christ simply because a global flood is not supported by science. Looking at natural phenomena like the Grand Canyon, salt beds, and fossil deposits, they reveal reasons for these deposits and structures while showing that their origin did not stem from a violent flood that covered the planet.
How Do We Know the Earth is Old? (Infographic)
The BioLogos Forum is pleased to present this infographic about the tools scientists use to determine the age of the Earth. The graphic, titled "How Do We Know the Earth is Old?", uses data compiled and summarized by geology professor Dr. Gregg Davidson.
What is the Higgs Boson?
At a press conference on July 4, 2012, and with 99.99994% confidence (5 sigma), CERN announced the discovery of a particle consistent with that of a Higgs boson (a.k.a. "the God particle"). This is very exciting for elementary particle physicists. But what is the Higgs particle, and what is its meaning?
Naming 'the God Particle'
The discovery of the Higgs boson would certainly be a breakthrough for particle physics and cosmology, but would such a finding also radically redefine theology's understanding of God or challenge the existence of such a deity? Is there actually any theological or religious significance in Higgs physics at all?
Series: Randomness and God's Governance
In this three-part series from Pruim's chapter in the book Delight in Creation: Scientists Share Their Work with the Church, mathematician Randall Pruim explains what scientists and mathematicians mean when they speak of something being "random". He also addresses God's use of apparent randomness in creation as a part of his sovereign rule.
Series: Universe and Multiverse
Baylor University Physicist Gerald Cleaver describes the changing state of our understanding of the cosmos and suggests ways that Christians can make theological sense of a theoretical Multiverse.
Understanding Evolution: Theory, Prediction and Converging Lines of Evidence, Part 1
In science, we don't really know the true way things actually work. What we have are theories—broad explanatory frameworks supported by experimentation, which we can use to make testable predictions about the natural world.
Series: Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
The six-part series by Dr. Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise with their pastors when introduced to the teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. As a pastor and evangelist, Keller takes these concerns seriously and offers suggestions for addressing them without requiring believers to adopt a particular view or accept a definitive answer.
Speciation and Macroevolution
A common challenge to evolutionary theory is that while life does indeed change over time (what is known as microevolution), no one has ever seen one species evolve into another species (macroevolution).
Series: Evidences for Evolution
This technical series, co-written by Darrel Falk and David Kerk, looks into the evidence for evolution in order to dispel doubts that people may have about this well-supported theory. They look at three things specifically: the separate methods which reveal of the age of the earth, the unfolding history of whale evolution, and finally the common trends of heart development in vertebrates.
Series: New Limbs from Old Fins
Stephen Matheson presents common descent by evolution as the best explanation for the universal pattern found in tetrapod limbs. He discusses initially the evolution and development of limbs in specifically vertebrate tetrapods. He looks at the question of origins and further digs into amazing fossil discoveries. He then gives evidence of evolution from fish to tetrapods by discussing the similarities in the anatomy, development, and genetic systems associated with this amazingly common pattern in vertebrate appendages.
Series: Understanding Evolution
This blog series by Dennis Venema undertakes the task of clarifying numerous aspects of evolution that often become misconstrued by Christians. He first discusses the idea of speciation in a population over time, later applying it to the speciation process that occurred among hominids (human ancestors) which led to modern humans. He continues to support this idea by exploring so called "Mitochondrial Eve,""Y Chromosome Adam" and other compositional clues of the human genome.
Evolution: Is God Just Playing Dice?
With his standard panache, the late Harvard paleontologist Stephen J. Gould argued strenuously that evolution had no inherent directionality. We are mere accidents; a "tiny twig on an improbable branch of a contingent limb on a fortunate tree".
God's Use of Time
I find that when many Christians think about the way God created our universe, they often bring a static expectation similar to what we bring to an ordinary statue. It's as if we assume the physical realm were merely a rigid three-dimensional sculpture, immovable with time.
The Crutch
Providing the crutch for non-believers to lean on is a well-intentioned strategic error that has no benefit and likely does much harm. However, I am even more concerned about something else related to our construction of these crutches.

Some Readers: High School Appropriate Age to Allow Social Media Account
We asked, you shared. Readers were divided on what age they allowed their children to have a social media account.
Among social media sites, Facebook was the most popular with teenagers, according to a survey of about 800 teens by the Pew Research Center's Internet & American Life Project.
We recently asked readers: What age do you allow your kid to have a social media account, and we received mixed responses.
Facebook is Unnecessary
Some readers say they don't allow their children to have a Facebook account.
"It's unnecessary, I wouldn't let me child have a Facebook [account]. It would cause more harm than good," Patch reader Melissa wrote.
Patch reader BigMama wrote, "In hindsight I wish I had NEVER allowed my teenage son on Facebook. It's turned out to be a vacuous, distracting time sink."
High School, Age Appropriate
Other readers say high school is an appropriate time to allow children to have Facebook accounts, but parents must also monitor the conversation.
Patch reader Dan says, "Facebook is like telephone when I was a teenager. Allow your teenager to use the phone, just be sure to monitor what is being said or in this case monitor the posts, tweets, images, videos, etc."
Patch reader QT Pie agreed.
"High school sounds about right; with a tutorial on what's appropriate and limits on time spent on it, because as BigMama said, it can be a vacuous wasteland," QT Pie wrote.
Creating a Network for Parents, Teens
Some readers say they've used social media to create a network for parents and teens.
"I allowed my daughter 2 years ago when she was 16, on the condition that we were 'friends' and I approved of and became 'friends' [of] all friend requests," Patch reader Cindy wrote. "She is in college now and I have remained 'friends' with most all of these kids, even though they may be in different states. We have created a network between the kids and parents."
One reader says she uses Facebook as a way to document her child's life. "I created a Facebook page for my daughter the day she was born as a way to document pictures and milestones for family over seas," Patch reader Beck wrote.
8:08 pm on Tuesday, January 22, 2013
Like anything else in a teenagers life, parental involvement is the key to responsible social media. Teenagers need to know that their parents have expectations and rules to be followed. http://www.power4parents.com/phpbb/index.php

4:08 pm on Wednesday, January 23, 2013
I'm grown, and I still think Facebook is too fast paced for me. When people invite me to Facebook, from other social media outlets I find it creepy. What's the point? If we're already talking online? Right? I wish I could use Facebook, but I'm scared of predators.

#7632657 Exclusive
.Sexy celebrity couple Nick Lachey and Vanessa Minnillo flaunt their hot bods as they enjoy some quality beach time in St. Barts Thursday afternoon, July 21st, 2011. The happy newlyweds took off their wedding bands as they playfully walked along the beach. Vanessa skipped stones in the water before they looked at a map of the islands and then swam back to their boat for some cocktails. Vanessa tanned her already bronzed body and looked beautiful and happy as she relaxed on the boat, even waving to photographers. The two got dressed and and put on their flashy wedding bands before taking another boat back to shore. Lachey and Minnillo were married July 15th on Richard Bransons private Necker Island.

Germany's central bank on Monday reiterated its opposition to the European Central Bank's plan to purchase government bonds.
The decision to share solvency risks should be taken by governments, and not by central banks, Bundesbank said in its latest monthly report. The comments came after a German magazine report that the European Central Bank may be planning to cap the yields on the bonds of the peripheral nations.
The ECB is considering setting limits on yields of Eurozone sovereign bonds, Germany's Der Spiegel magazine reported over the weekend. According to the magazine, the central bank will intervene and buy the bonds if their interest rates exceed a pre-determined threshold above German bonds.
Bundesbank sticks to the opinion that the government bond purchases by the Eurosystem are to be seen critically and entail significant stability risks, the central bank report said.
The report helped to push top European shares higher by mid-morning. Also, Spanish and Italian 10-year bond yields declined notably today.
However, the ECB reportedly rejected such speculation. The central bank said reports about the plan to cap borrowing costs is misleading. Such a decision has not yet been taken.
Further, Bundesbank said a comprehensive responsibility of the ECB for banking supervision will possibly creates a risk of conflict with the primary goals of monetary policy and price stability.
Meanwhile, European Central Bank Executive Board member Joerg Asmussen said a Greek exit from the euro area would be manageable, but would be expensive.
In an interview with the Frankfurter Rundschau, the German economist said Bundesbank is not isolated in Europe and "no one should try to create the impression that the Bundesbank or its president is isolated."

Over the past several weeks my jaw pops every time I move it. It's to the point now where Im constantly opening my mouth to pop it and pretend I'm yawning so people don't think I'm a crazy person. Its sore and tight and sometimes doesn't pop but feels like it needs to. I have an earache on the same side starting a few days ago when the popping started getting worse. I have been eating primarily raw over the past 3 or 4 weeks, only have had meat a couple times and I am wondering if it's related and how I can fix this (more details on my diet here- http://paleohacks.com/questions/48575/does-anyone-eat-a-primarily-raw-diet#axzz1SaKUOEuI) thanks.
In addition to the massage therapist, you really need to be eating more gelatin. It's essential for joint/cartilage health. Traditionally, it came to us in the form of home made slow-cooked bone broths when our ancestors conscientiously ate nose to tail. If you're not eating traditional bone broths daily, you could buy a well-made powdered gelatin. Great Lakes Bovine Gelatin and Bernard Jensen Gelatin are both made from grass-fed cows and are processed in a way that keeps free glutamic acid (like MSG) from forming. You can stir the flavorless gelatin into hot drinks like tea or coffee, add it to smoothies (it has 9g of protein per tsp, so it's a great protein boost, too), or make traditional jell-o like desserts/foods. |
oh no, could very well be TMJ. Are you a teeth grinder? clencher?? |
Trigger points of the temporalis and pterygoid muscles, which are responsible for most of your jaw movement, together with masseter and a couple of others, could be causing your problem. Trigger points are a kind of dysfunction where, basically, individual fibers within a muscles, rather than entire muscle, are tight and chronically contracted, creating pain and other phenomena that many doctors miss. Trigger points in these same muscles are also notorious for causing ear and tooth aches. A massage therapist is able to correct this issue, but I would recommend seeing a chiropractor, since in addition to also having the knowledge to alleviate your trigger points, they are also skilled in restoring normal motion to the TMJ, if there is any dysfunction. It is all generally fairly easy to treat. Best of luck! |
FYI since I don't see where anyone else has mentioned it ... The "popping" or "cracking" you feel and hear is the small disc between your jawbone and skull getting momentarily stuck too far forward and then snapping back into place - sometimes from slightly stretched ligaments. Those who have mentioned their jaw gets "stuck" have had this disc move even farther forward until it does, indeed, get stuck and can actually keep you from closing your mouth. (Take it from me, this can be REALLY painful.) If this happens, the jaw may need to be manually moved slightly down and back for enough space to be created in the joint to allow the release of the trapped disc (and may take someone else to help since it is hard to get the proper leverage on yourself). Once inflammation is present from the joint/disc being irritated, the problem becomes more acute and you need to take some kind of anti-inflammatory (whatever you are comfortable with - ibuprofen, turmeric, etc.) and rest the joint as much as possible. Multiple things can cause this and, yes, too much or too heavy chewing like from your gum or raw vegetables can be one of them. In my case, it was a wisdom tooth that didn't have enough room and was impinging on the joint and the problem gradually resolved once it was removed. So, my suggestion would be to watch carefully for what seems to trigger the problem and check with your dentist and chiropractor as others have suggested. |
You could have a mild type of TMJ that is exasperated by chewing. I have TMJ and beef jerky, carrot sticks, almonds - anything that requires some real hardy chewing will make my jaw ache and start popping. If it is inflamed enough or out of joint the pain could radiate to your ear and feel like an ear ache. Advil - (sorry I don't know the Paleo version) and resting your jaw will help a lot. My chiro sometimes does some thing that helps when it is acting up also. |
take a look at your bite in the mirror. are only your molars actually touching, with your bite opening a bit as you continue forwards? a posterior open bite like this is a common cause of TMJ symptoms. heavy chewing, as is called for with raw foods, will strain your joints as your lower jaw tries to flex forwards and up for stability. if this is the case for you, you may need orthodontics to correct the open bite. specifically you will need upper molar intrusion aided by temporary anchorage devices. surgery is an option as well. or you could just cook your food to soften it up. we've only been doing it for half a million years or so... |
You must move your joints and this will reduce stiffness. It could be that the synovial fluid in the joint is too viscous. Chew, talk, etc... |
Oh the joy of jaw-cracking...NOT. I have suffered from TMJ for years. Finally got rid of it over the past year. A lot of it had to do with stress and anxiety. The TMJ caused the jaw cracking for me. My dentist did make me a custom mouth guard/bite plate (very pricey, but my insurance covered one for a lifetime). This helped a lot. It helped realign my bite. But always be cautious when having your bite realigned. Sometimes it can make the problem worse. Make sure your dentist is skilled and has done this type of procedure before. I also did a bunch of mouth, check and jaw exercises. My favorite one is where you look in the mirror and try and slowly open your mouth as even as you can, until you can't open it any more. Hold for few seconds for a strech and then do it over a few times. During this strech, my jaw would always click, but over time it stopped. Everyone once in a while I still have jaw clicking, but it's not constant as before and I'm no longer in any pain. I would suggest seeing a dentist or orthadontist first and foremost. They can evaulate your mouth for eveness and any alighment problems. Sometimes it's an easy fix, and sometimes it takes time to be fixed. |
could be a trigger point in the jaw muscles... this can easily be self-massaged |
Do you have sinus problems? It's possible you have a sinus infection and it's causing jaw pain. Here's a list of symptoms. I don't know if a sinus infection could actually cause your jaw to pop, but it can definitely cause jaw pain. I have sinus problems as well as TMJ, so I get a lot of ear and jaw pain (and jaw popping). My jaw has gotten stuck in various positions as well; however, I never feel like I need to pop my jaw. Popping my jaw is always painful and I move my mouth around in strange ways to try and avoid it. The only time I purposely pop my jaw is when I have a headache. Somehow popping my jaw relieves tension and helps relax my neck and surrounding muscles. |
I have (or had) this too, including the ear pain, and I grind my teeth badly at night, maybe you are too. It's improved a lot since I started sleeping on my back and paying attention to relaxing my jaw during the day, my jaw still cracks but is no longer painful. But any foods I have to chew a lot make it worse (raw vegetables etc) so maybe ease up on the raw for a while? |
Also TMJ can be caused by short neck flexors. http://www.mobilitywod.com/2010/12/episode-109365-neck-of-desk-warrior.html |
Have you ever had dental work done? I started having problems like this when one of my crowns became so worn down that my teeth weren't biting together properly. It puts all sorts of strain on your jaw muscles and eventually you start having issues with your TMJ (temperomandibular joint). |
Well from what a lot of you are saying I did have the same problem,(cracking jaw,weird noise by ear) and I assume its from sleeping with your mouth open and your jaw going out of place. For me it was. Take your hand and put some pressure on the side that's cracking and open your mouth and close it. If the cracking stopped while you put pressure on your jaw then your in good shape. Sleep with your mouth closed when you go to bed and sleep on your side so that your jaw is resting on your pillow on the side that's cracking. Over time it will slowly go back into place maybe not perfect but it will stop the cracking. Don't expect it to work over night, within like 2 weeks mine was already getting better. |

Overview of Santa Fe
Those seeking a dynamic mix of arts, culture and fascinating history need look no further than Santa Fe, N.M. Many people already know the oldest capital in the United States has a crisp, pleasant climate and spectacular scenery, but this thriving small city has a lot more to offer. For instance, it is home to the nation's second largest arts market in the nation, a growing renewable energy industry and a colorful history that makes it a diverse place to live. It was named a Coolest Small City by GQ Magazine and the Most Artistic by The Atlantic.
Those who look for Santa Fe apartments for rent will find a host of options. The city has a range of architecture, much of it influenced by Native American, Spanish and modern American cultures.
Living in Santa Fe, NM
It may be surprising that this Western city is the oldest capital in the nation. Established in 1610 as the capital of the New Mexico province, the city has hosted a range of populations, from Native Americans and Spanish settlers to the mix of cultures that make up its current population of about 68,000 people.
Now, Santa Fe is known internationally for its thriving arts and culture scene, as well as its superb air quality. The American Lung Association ranked Santa Fe no. 1 in its State of the Air rankings in 2012. The county of Santa Fe earned the top spot in all three of the organization's pollution categories: ozone, short-term particle pollution and year-round particle pollution. This honor is largely thanks to the state's strict emission standards - which are even more restrictive than those of the Environmental Protection Agency - as well as the fact that there are virtually no "dirty industries" in the area.
Santa Fe has been listed on a number of "best places" lists over the years. It was named "America's Healthiest City" by Organic Style in 2003, one of Forbes' "10 Best Places for Business and Careers" in 2003 and one of the "15 Best Places to Reinvent Yourself" by AARP in 2003. In 2004, Cities Ranked & Rated named it as the no. 2 best place to live in the U.S.
Santa Fe Work and Study
Santa Fe has a reputation as an ideal place to do business. Economic development is a priority among city leaders, and the area's economy is largely based around tourism, which brings in about $1 billion annually for the state. Healthcare, science and technology are also common career paths of Santa Fe residents.
There are also opportunities for education in this city. The Santa Fe Public School system is the fifth largest school district in the state, comprising 25 schools that serve more than 14,000 students. Those seeking higher educational opportunities can look to the city's colleges and universities - St. John's College, the Santa Fe University of Art and Design, and Southwestern College, as well as the Institute of American Indian Arts, New Mexican Highlands University and Santa Fe Community College.
Rentals in Santa Fe, NM and Cost of Living
Because it is such an attractive place to live, housing prices are rising in Santa Fe. Still, those looking for rentals in Santa Fe can expect to pay less than $1,000 per month on rent, making the cost of living reasonable. In 2010, the median gross rent in the city of Santa Fe was $862, according to the U.S. Census Bureau.
Santa Fe Attractions and Special Events
Santa Fe's reputation as a Mecca of arts and culture is due in part to its designation as a UNESCO cultural city, with petroglyph-covered Native American ruins, a history museum about Spanish colonial life and a mix of adobe and European-style architecture, all within the city's limits. Visitors and residents alike can enjoy exploring the city's 400-year history, thanks to its terrific historical preservation. There is still a thriving Native American population in Santa Fe, contributing to the area's rich cultural activities and arts scene.
Indeed, one of the main draws to this vibrant city is its incredible arts scene. It hosts the Santa Fe International Folk Art Market each July, as well as the Santa Fe Indian Market - the world's largest Native American art market - each August. Additionally, there are a number of summer art markets with a variety of ethnic and contemporary art throughout the season.
All year round, residents enjoy the city's art galleries and museums, including the Georgia O'Keeffe Museum, as well as a variety of classes and workshops.
Situated at the southernmost point of the Rockies, Santa Fe also offers a wide range of activities to the outdoor enthusiast. From skiing and river rafting to hiking, golfing and biking, there are plentiful opportunities for residents to enjoy the great outdoors.

Premium Content Is the World Flat?
by Xu Shenjun - November 16, 2007
Discuss some issue of personal, local, national, or international concern and its importance to you.
"The world is flat." When I was little, I never believed this line. I would always show off in class, proudly proclaiming: "The earth is a sphere!" But now, I see the line again, on the title of a book by Thomas Friedman—and, this time, I have no easy response.
When I was thirteen, my father gave me a world atlas. Immediately attracted to the…

UNION — Three educators and published authors will tell ghost stories and other spooky tales during Rose Hill Plantation State Historic Site's annual Halloween-themed "Tales of Union County" on Saturday.
In announcing the event, Park Interpreter Elizabeth Moses urged the public to "join us Saturday, Oct. 27 for a fun journey into the spooky past as Rose Hill Plantation presents an evening for visitors to enjoy local legends and ghostly tales presented by regional storytellers."
Those regional storytellers are Dr. Alan Charles, professor of history at USC Union; Randall Ivey, professor of English at USC Union; and Dr. Martha Benn Macdonald, instructor of English and Language at York Technical College.
Moss said that while the stories are being told, participants will also be able to enjoy refreshments served by the site's staff and have the opportunity to make some of their own.
"The eeriness begins at 6:30 p.m. behind the kitchen at the rear of the Gist Mansion," Moses said. "While listening to southern folklore, stories and legends, the whole family can enjoy a marshmallow roast by the campfire, hot apple cider, hot chocolate and other refreshments. Visitors make s'mores as the park will provide chocolate, marshmallows and graham crackers will be provided."
Moses said attendees should bring a lawn chair, blanket or some other type of portable seating and to dress accordingly for the weather to ensure their comfort. She said that because lighting will be limited and the ground is slightly uneven, it is recommended that attendees wear decent walking shoes.
In the event of inclement weather, the event will be canceled.
Moses said that space is not limited, but persons interested in attending are asked to pre-register by Thursday to ensure an accurate count of visitors so the park will have sufficient refreshments on hand.
Admission is $7.50 for visitors age 6 and older and free for children 5 and under.
Moses said that visitors with the Park Passport Plus are admitted for free.

When I first moved to Louisiana and heard someone utter the term "swamp pop", I was confused to say the least. I had questions. Was swamp pop just local music from which all the artistic integrity and meaning had been extracted so someone could get filthy rich? I pictured Miley Cyrus on a sparkly pink fan boat singing about her unrequited love for crawfish etouffee. Was there a top 40 countdown hosted by Dick Clark's cajun doppelganger for this sort of thing?
Now, several years later, I still don't know much about it, but I have at least been able to extricate my jaded view of contemporary "pop" music and all the images that it conjures from the reality of the situation. Obviously, one has almost nothing to do with the other.
When a friend gave me a copy of Lil Band O Gold's album Promised Land, it had no artwork or liner notes, and it came with no convenient introduction or genre labels. When I listened to it a few times, I was drawn to the warmth and realness of the songs, but I wouldn't have affixed any label to it other than to call it a great cohesive rock and roll album on the traditional side. I had no idea what exactly it was, but I loved what I heard. There was all the elements of early rock and roll, a whole lot of blues, some soul, a little boogie woogie guitar and a healthy dose of honky tonk piano. I was immediately reminded of artists like Tab Benoit, Bobby Charles, and Dr. John, and I knew for sure that this band was from Louisiana. They just had that Louisiana thing, something completely intangible, but impossible to miss when you hear it. Mostly it sounds like the best of times with family and friends plus an accordion. When I did a little bit of research, I had a Eureka moment. Aha! So this was swamp pop.
Lil Band O Gold is a Lafayette based nine piece swamp pop super group whose lineup reads like a who's who of the genre. They formed in 1998 out of a casual collaboration between singer/guitarist C.C. Adcock and singer/accordionist Steve Riley, who then enlisted the talents of legendary drummer Warren Storm. They then rounded out the lineup with the addition of saxophonists Dickie Landry, David Greely and Pat Breaux, bassist Dave Ronson, and pedal-steel guitarist Richard Comeaux.
When I attempted to break the music down into it's component parts, I marveled at just how many musical traditions this band was holding up on one album. I wondered how so many different types of competing styles and sounds could coexist in one band without sounding unnatural. I started thinking of something I had heard years before in the the film The Last Waltz (which I think is quite possibly the best music film/documentary ever made). In an interview where filmmaker Martin Scorsese is asking the late great drummer Levon Helm about his Arkansas upbringing and the music that influenced him personally, Levon seems to stumble upon the simplest possible explanation of how a complicated synthesis of cultural elements can yield an entirely new and distinct genre. The conversation went something like this:
Levon: Bluegrass and country music ... if it comes down into that area and if it mixes there with the rhythm and if it dances, then you've got a combination of all that music ...
Scorsese: What's it called?
Levon: Rock and roll.
After considering, I realized that swamp pop made a little more sense to me through this filter. Following professor Helm's theory, the traditional Cajun and Zydeco music of Lafayette and Lake Charles drifts towards New Orleans, mixes with that city's storied rhythm and blues traditions, and you arrive at the same place Levon did: Rock and Roll.
Lil Band O Gold bring their immaculate Louisiana encompassing Rock and Roll to the Manship Theater on Friday August 10 at 8pm. More info and tickets available by clicking here.

I think Melancholia is a lot better than Antichrist, I really wanted to like that but, despite some good bits, it was just too silly and I laughed outloud too many times for it to be effective as the psychological horror I think it wanted to be. That said I love the bit where he sees the deer with the half-born faun and I'd say there is something genuinely creepy when he looks at loads of old photos and realises that his child's slightly deformed feet were caused by his wife consistently putting his shoes on the wrong feet."Yes, interesting reading of the film. Didn't see it yet (and didn't like Antichrist much either), but my friend didn't think it was very good. Maybe I should reading more films as depressed, fever-ridden nightmares...?"
GK - what think you of The Final Programme?
An interesting misfire with some excellent bits which don't make for a satisfying whole. It's just a bit too polite, I think. Jon Finch is really good as Jerry Cornelius, although I wouldn't have cast him. I wish it had been a big hit so we could have had a few sequels which got progressively weirder and wilder.
Blind guy goes after a gang of Mexican bands after a debt of 50 prostitutes is stolen from him... I dont' see this Spaghetti being heralded much, but it's flipping ace +++ Loads of action, some mentalness, a very cool score by Stelvio Cipriani (Morricone-esque Spaghetti sounds with funky drums and sitars added!), and Ringo Star playing an unhinged Mexican bandito... What more could you need from a western?
'The perfect family', *very* predictable but totally uplifting and feel good little movie with Kathleen Turner, Richard Chamberlain (!) and that girl from Bones.
Also 'The Killing' Season 2, as well as a sh!tload of bad tv series and the greek melodrama 'Truth or dare' aka 'How to tear apart a country in less than three years'...
Everything in Greece is arpa kolla
Well made, good fun zombie comedy about a future where a collar keeps the walking dead docile so they can be trained to do all the menial work as slaves. And no it's not about them breaking free of their slavery to take revenge but about a lonely boy who finds a friend in the zombie his mother buys because all the neighbours have one - naming him Fido and throwing ball with him in the park and stuff. Yes - of course there's some trouble and occassional bits of gore but it's more of a social satire than anything else. Even has Lassie references.

It's all about RIZZOLI & ISLES round here recently.
Mostly RIZZOLI, though
Saw Cronenberg's The Fly for the first time ever. Love catching up on genre classics even if they're much of their time. TF was genuinly frightening, gross and moving in parts. Good stuff. Videodrome up next. Liked Spider and Dead zone a lot.
My dad always told me that this one of the best films ever, but I didn't get around to seeing it until last night.
My dad was right. Makes you realise that Peckinpah and Leone were just as adept at sampling/homage as the likes of Tarantino.
More haulage-related thrills in this Brit thriller, which has an incredible cast of Baker, Lom, McGoohan, Sid James, Connery, McCallum and Peggy Cummins from Gun Crazy. There's even room for Charles Bronson's missus Jill Ireland and a Doctor Who
Its more about tearing down wet country lanes with a couple of tons of gravel in your Dodge than transporting nitroglycerine through the jungle. 50s England still manages to seem as much of a shithole as Las Piedras, though, and there's some superb denim, leather and sheepskin action.
the BBC4 Nina Conti thing the other night about ventriloquism was weird and great
An interesting interview for those who may be interested with Gene Clark amongst others from 1988.
I managed to win tickets for an early screening of 'Searching for Sugarman' at the BFI on Saturday which tells the story of Sixto Rodriguez. Initially I thought it was a bit of a non-story but by the end I was close to tears. It's a beautiful documentary. He came on after the film and played a few songs as well.
Is he partially sighted or blind now? It didn't mention it in the doc and I've not found much on the web.
I also saw Promtheus at the IMax and I thought it was terrific. There are a couple of sections that didn't work for me but overall I thought it was stunning.
To not answer your question in any way; for years I thought that Jose Feliciano* simply enjoyed wearing shades and had no idea that he was blind. It was only when Matt Hero or Bongolia pointed it out that I realised why he wore them... And now that you've mentioned it, I can't remember seeing a picture of Rodriguez without his sunglasses. Sounds like a film worth seeing. What did songs did he play afterwards?
*Or it may have been Lennie Peters.

You freeking scientologists are all the same, quible, dribble and then demand ice creams. Ohhhhhhhhhhh.
Ha ha! *resists urge to insert cool emoticon*
He is such a humble guy the impression I got was that he wouldn't mention being blind as it would encourage unnecessary sympathy but he did have a person accompanying him to the stage - initially I thought it was just because he had trouble walking.
He played a cover of 'Fever', 'Sugarman' then 'Forget It'. His voice hasn't changed at all. I would whole-heartedly recommend going to see the documentary - it's beautifully shot and genuinely very moving. I think a lot of musicians and artists could use a little of his humility.
Don't know anything for a fact but I've had friends who've gone to see Rodriguez live and they left with the impression that he was blind.
Love my 90s corrupt cop-action dramas. Just watched Cop Land in director's cut and it's a lot different from the normal video release! Many scenes are extended, some are moved around, previously unused shots appear, and in 2-3 crucial scenes instead of Harvey Keitel's villain it's actually Annabella Sciorra's old flame who motivates Sly's sheriff to act as he does. In this edition, he is actually driven by tenderness and unfulfilled love rather than a sense of justice and pride. Sly just got soft here!
Oh btw, there's a nice scene of a overweight Sly rolling over on his bed and showing his fat tummy

On Top of Mt Lemmon
It looks like someone did not make the curve. This is a van that is WAY down in the gorge. Zoomed in with my camera. Not sure how long that van has been there but it looks like a long time.

Hey, there are trees in Arizona!! You just have to go nearly 10,000 feet up to find them, :-)
What Tucson looks like from the very top of Mt Lemmon. The little white specks are houses. The brown strip is the air force base that covers several miles ... looks small from here. The trees are bare because of the fire a couple years ago on Mt Lemmon.

I have to beg to differ with Keith - I believe that van is the old church van we used to have that the kids referred to as "Old Crusty." Glad to see Old Crusty is living the good live in Arizona.

You see lots of old vans looking exactly like that one parked in yards around here in front of trailers and old houses. Guess some things you can't get away from.

The picture of the van reminded me of the time I was stationed at Nellis AFB out of Las Vegas, Nevada. I am sure the city is right up against it now..that was 36 years ago. My buddy and I would often head out into the desert to see what we could see and it was not that unusual to find abandoned vehicles in the canyons. Out of the half dozen or so we ran across only one still had a driver. He didn't fare that well what with the heat and the creatures of the desert...I know...eeeeeewwwwwwww
