Latino voter strength gains more attention
Drivers license bill is first step in their agenda
Five years ago, most Illinois House Republicans, including House GOP Leader Tom Cross, voted against a bill that would have allowed undocumented immigrants to obtain state driver's licenses. The conservative rhetoric against the legislation was very harsh. Even so, it was approved by the House, but was never called for a floor vote in the state Senate.
Back then, the legislation was seen as political suicide by many Republicans fearful of a backlash within their own party. But since November's election results showed a heavy Latino turnout that may have swayed several races in favor of the Democrats, Republicans have suddenly become far more interested.
Leader Cross, for instance, called the Illinois Coalition for Immigrant and Refugee Rights the day after the election, offering to work with the group. The ICIRR now considers the driver's license bill will be a "down payment" on whether the parties want to make a "good-faith effort" to work with it in the future. And Cross is supporting it.

McGrath: A father steps up in tough times
By David McGrath June 15, 2012 10:00PM
David McGrath with his father in 1955. | Submitted photo
Updated: July 18, 2012 6:19AM
It was the second Friday in June and school was ending. A summer of beaches, boats, and freedom from grown-ups stretched before us, so we were practically airborne when the final school bell rang.
But my father's green Pontiac Catalina station wagon sat in the driveway. Something was wrong, he was never home before 5:30, and I entered the house on high alert.
"You kids better start saving your money," he said.
He was not exactly fired by the tile company, he explained. Rather, he had "accepted" a not-very-cordial invitation to quit. I vaguely recollect other factors — the tough economic times and even rougher company politics. Paychecks would stop.
I was not that devastated by the news. Graver concerns occupy the mind of a 15-year-old boy. Would the White Sox win the pennant that summer? Would the two new pimples on my chin disappear before Debbie Glick's party?
But the faraway look in Dad's eyes as he sat at the kitchen table with an open can of Hamm's beer this early in the day caused some unease. And I wasn't the only one. My five brothers and two sisters, who got the news one by one, showed similar apprehension.
Surprisingly, normalcy resumed in our household quickly. Yes, our family schedule got out of whack. Mom took a part-time job in children's clothing at Montgomery Ward while my father handled the cooking when he wasn't heading out for a job interview. But we kids didn't miss a beat — sleeping late, watching TV, hanging at Beverly Park when we could wriggle out of chores.
Looking back, I guess the main reason we didn't panic was that Dad stayed the same. He conducted his usual interrogations during dinner. "David, did you wash the basement steps before going out?" And "Jimmy, did I see you and Chubsy Michau smoking outside of the bowling alley?"
And though he would be out of work for several months, we got no respite from his corny jokes. The only difference now was that they dealt mostly with his culinary creativity.
"Mostaccioli Del Monte is now being served," he announced as we sat down to plates of steaming macaroni noodles with ketchup. And I would eat enough of his "eggs Benedict," made with crisply fried slices of Spam, to last a lifetime.
The only stark reminder of desperate straits was when the repo man, wearing a pin-striped suit and 10-gallon hat, rang our doorbell one afternoon. Because my father had the Pontiac out on a job interview, my mother invited him in, fixing coffee and a tray of graham crackers while he waited.
She introduced us kids, and we strained to be polite. After a while, he got up to go, saying he'd call another time. We never got to see the "cowboy" again, as somehow enough money was scraped up for the car payment.
Good thing, too, because we needed the wagon for our fishing trip. Whereas our usual annual summer vacation was a week-long trip to another state, this year's was limited to a weekend closer to home. Mom would hold down the fort because she couldn't miss work.
Despite the abbreviated time, it was a memorable trip. Part of the reason was Dad's kid-friendly diet concept ("Cold pizza has all the same nutrients that oatmeal does for breakfast"). Another was his understanding of fish-catching tactics, letting us stay out in the boat past sunset ("Don't tell your mother").
But I think the main reason was that there was no TV in the cabin, so he let us have Coke and potato chips with him in the lodge tavern after supper. Even better were his campfire stories after dark and listening to the largemouth bass, belly flopping in the lily pads.
Back home, my father eventually secured a position as an industrial soap salesman with Calgon Corp., where he would toil until retirement some 17 years later.
When I look back on that time, especially in light of today's recession, I realize that conditions were more ominous than my father ever let on. We nearly lost our car, and certainly could have lost our home as well.
Job loss can shatter a man's confidence, rob the very sense of who he is. But Dad did not succumb. The steady, joking, reliable anchor we took for granted, day in and day out, resulted from a father's effort to fight fear, uncertainty and even the threat to his identity — all for the welfare and happiness of his family.
It's a good thing we have Father's Day each June because my appreciation of my father has grown progressively, every year since he's gone.

This device transforms iPad into a extremely useful music making tool. The midi in/out & midi/usb makes it possible to play app keyboard instruments on any midi keyboard controller you wish. It also has 2 audio inputs, and balanced 1/4" stereo out, making it easy to record audio or guitar. It even has phantom power. There's a pedal input, and a headphone jack. I'll likely never use it, but there's a video port as well. Before this device I really had very little interest in mobile music apps, now I am amazed at how some sound, and how utterly useful so many of them are. I am now recording on my iPad, and recording in my computer from the iPad. This may be the best gear purchase I've made in years. close [-] Sweetwater Advice

Tear into a can of the meanest energy supplement on the planet,. Lo-Carb MONSTER energy. We went down to the lab and performed major surgery on the Monster. We hacked out carbohydrates and calories, transplanted the wicked Buzz and dialed in the flavor. Lo-Carb MONSTER energy still delivers twice the Buzz of a regular Energy drink, but only has a fraction of the calories.
The Juice is Loose... Our Pro Athletes are always looking for an edge, so when they´ve got an idea we listen. After months in the lab we perfected the "Juice Monster". We started with out original Monster flavor, mixed in a killer combo of natural juices, then powered it up with the full load of our energy blend and stood back.

Sheriff Bob Hummel, Jim Beard, and the boys at Davis auto parts, Slick Henderson and every kid remember Ron Eberall.
That was a time when men took responsibility for the growth of their children, their work and their town. If you want to know how great these men took their responsibility look at their children and forgive me for forgetting some. The Bergreens, Buller's, Prouty, Plummer, Hesler, Beeler, Eberall, Alexander, Bladine, Celler, and so many more Like Ross, Hanson, Dillon, Shummway, and look at the education we received in the 50's and 60's I would guess over 70% went on to military, trade school and college.
It all starts with men and women who take a part and responsibility in their communities.

Rosendale Councilman Robert Ryan takes heat for attending party in blackface, says he meant no offense
ROSENDALE, N.Y. — The use of blackface by town Councilman Robert Ryan at a private Halloween and birthday party at the American Legion Hall in Tillson has drawn sharp criticism from a town employee and the leader of a local civil rights organization.
Ryan said he intended no disrespect to black people when he dressed as rapper Flavor Flav for the Oct. 26 event.
He said the VH-1 show "The Surreal Life," on which Flav appeared in 2004 and 2005, provided the inspiration for the costume.
"I used to watch a show all the time with Brigitte (Nielsen), the one Sylvester Stallone was married to," Ryan said. "I enjoyed the show. I thought (Flavor Flav) was a very unique kind of a character, and then, I just read about him the other day." Nielsen, who was on "The Surreal Life" at the same time as Flav, has been romantically involved with the rapper, whose real name is William Jonathan Drayton Jr.
Ryan added that "when you wear a clock and you dress like that, you don't have to explain who you're dressing up as." Flav often wears a large clock around his neck like a piece of jewelry.
Michael Caponero, a Rosendale Town Court officer, said he was disturbed when he saw a photograph of Ryan, a Republican, at the party.
Caponero said Republicans have struggled to gain trust among voters who are not white. He said the Ryan matter is similar to how U.S. Rep. Todd Akin, who lost this week's Missouri race for a U.S. Senate seat, hurt Republicans, especially among women, with his statement that "legitimate rape" rarely results in pregnancy.
"Republicans have bad enough names already (with statements) about rapists," said Caponero, who characterized himself as "a lifelong Republican."
"Here, (Ryan) is dressed up in blackface," Caponero said. "That's all we need."
Caponero acknowledges having a heated history with Ryan that began at a July meeting of the Town Board with a request to have the town deal with a trailer on a neighboring property. Continued...
Then, at an October meetitng, Caponero said, Ryan, in the course of a discussion about a pay raise sought for court offficers, made what Caponeor considered inflammatory comments about his July appearance over the trailer issue.
"In this day and age, his comments about (my) coming (to a Town Board meeting) with guns drawn is inflammatory and dangerous ... and his statement that I should wear a bulletproof vest at all times is threatening," he said.
Maude Bruce, president of the Ellenville chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, said Ryan's use of blackface was racist and that she planned to call him to learn more about his intent.
"I think it was inappropriate, no sensitivity, and I want to know what is he suggesting," she said. "As a councilman for Rosendale, I think it's totally inappropriate because he represents all people there."
Bruce said the photograph of Ryan in blackface was a reminder of what people fought against during the civil rights movement more than 50 years ago.
"I was raised in the South. ... I marched with Martin Luther King," she said. "When I saw that picture, it brought back so many memories of people doing it. Why would a white man want to paint his face black?"
Ryan, who was elected to a four-year term on the Town Board in 2011, said it was disappointing that anyone would "make a racial thing out of this."
"I have so many black friends who would stand up for me in a heartbeat," he said.
Ryan, 53, a plant manager for the state Department of Correctional Services, said the photographs were posted on a Facebook page maintained by his sister-in-law, along with several other pictures from the party.
"Why anybody is digging so deep to think that would be offensive by someone I choose to dress up as, I would think that maybe they were discriminating themselves," he said. Continued...
"If I thought that there was anything awkward or crazy about it or stupid or vindictive or discriminating, as an elected official, do you really think I would have dressed up as Flavor Flav?" Ryan said.
Editor's note: This story was modified 05:21 AM 11-11-12 to correct the sequence of events regarding Caponeros's account of his interaction with Ryan at Town Board meetings in July and October.

I suggest that until you people start using blu ray discs, you refrain from putting so many 3D games on here. Maybe you could put a limit on how much space the 3D games take, and have all the creative software ALWAYS on the distro. Blender is one of my favorite programs along with Gimp, Firefox and Inkscape. I know perfectly well how to emerge stuff, but every once in a while, what I want isn't there, and I find it MUCH harder to manually compile it from the source. Blender is, of course, on Portage, but I'd rather have everything I want on my installation as soon as I've got it instead of this.

ANSONIA — Looking at the despondent faces, some with tears in their eyes, before the annual Thanksgiving Day rivalry game between Ansonia and Naugatuck, one could get a sense that something wasn't quite right.
The news then quietly began to make its way around Jarvis Stadium: Longtime former Ansonia coach Jack Hunt had lost his battle with esophageal cancer.
Hunt, 64, passed away Thursday morning. Hunt was diagnosed with the disease this past summer. A benefit in his honor was held last month.
"Our thoughts go out to coach Hunt, his family, and right now it's all about them," Ansonia coach Tom Brockett said following his team's 48-27 victory over the Greyhounds. "He's a great man. He's done so much for the community of Ansonia."
Hunt coached from 1987-2005 and compiled a record of 193-26. He won seven state titles in 11 championship game appearances.
He was recognized as the coach of the year by the New Haven County Chapter of the National Football Foundation in 1995 and by the Connecticut Sports Writers Alliance in 2004. Hunt was inducted into the Ansonia Gridiron Club Hall of Fame in 1997.
Although an official announcement was not made during the game, the news quickly spread via social media.
A message posted on UConn coach Paul Pasqualoni's Twitter account read: Very sad to hear of the passing of legendary CT HS Coach Jack Hunt. My thoughts & prayers are with his family today.
Also on Twitter, Westhill coach and Seymour resident Frank Marcucio wrote: I am saddened by the passing of Jack Hunt — the former Ansonia head football coach — great guy and coach — he will be missed.
The news also reached those at the nearby Derby-Shelton contest. Continued...
Said Derby coach George French, who played for the Red Raiders from 1996-98: "My condolences go to his family and their entire program. He's a wonderful man. That's a tough one."
Said Shelton coach Jeff Roy, who played for the Gaels from 1983-85: "I'm shocked to hear that. He was a great man."

Thanksgiving service set — Page 2 Football coach earns kudos — Page Amherst News-Time i1 2 * E r .r C Tl ._, Wednesday. November 17, 1999 Amherst, Ohio 1 A combined 21 gun salute is part of the ceremonies held at city hall observing Veterans Day. Veterans give students lesson on 'ultimate' job Veterans Don Breen and Howard Maegle are showing kids at Powers Elementary School how to fold and handle a U.S. flag. Beginning this year, the state government has now legislated that schools have some type of awareness program on Veterans Day. According to documentation send to Powers Elementary School principal David Anghilantc on Oct. 29, the new ruling is an amendment to the Ohio Revised Code, mandating that all schools in all districts devote times in observance of Veterans Day. Anghilante believes the amendment must have recently been approved. "There is a support group for education that normally provides us with materials that we can purchase. Apparently this change happened so •quickly that none of thooPBds were - available to us this year. Next year we may have age appropriate materials." Anghilante said. This year's school observance was handled by Jean Tammaro, who knows veteran Don Breen, and put together the Veterans Day program. The observance began Nov. 10, with a movie on veterans shown to all students. Breen, and fellow veteran Howard Maegle, then spoke to students last Thursday, the official Veterans Day holiday. Breen is a past local Veterans of Foreign Wars Post commander, a retired school teacher from South- view, and World War II veteran, where he served as a sonar operator on a navy fleet tug in the Pacific. Maegle, also a WWII Navy veteran, served in Panama and the Pacific on both on a sub tender and on a destroyer tender. 1 The men demonstrated the proper way to fold and handle a U.S. flag. After completing the school demonstration, both men joined others from their posts for a Veterans Day ceremony at city hall. From the steps of city hall mayor John Higgins spoke to a number of city officials, participating veterans, members of the community and the press. The mayor thanked the veterans for their willingness to risk their lives to keep America free. "Every day I thank you," Higgins said. "Amherst needs to remember the unselfnh deeds of its veterans, especially those that paid the ultimate price and gave up their lives, never to see their wives, sons and daughters again." Participating veterans groups represented were Amherst Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 1662, American Legion Post 118 from Amherst and Post 197 from South Amherst. The ceremony concluded with a joint 21 gun salute and taps played by bugler Orville Butler. City agrees to apologize for filing tax charge by KATHLEEN WILLBOND News-Times editor Basking in the glow of seeing city law director Alan Anderson defeated at the polls in the Nov. 2 election, David Moore is now glowing over an apology he has received from the city for its pursuit of criminal charges against him. The city last week agreed not to pursue any charges against Moore, stemming from an attempt to collect what the city felt were unpaid back income taxes stemming from Moore's business, Crystal Mortgage. The charges were first filed last year, and then abruptly dropped this fall, but Moore, adament that his company did not owe any back taxes, fought the charges on two fronts: he filed a suit claiming his civil rights were being violated and City stays mum on case course by KATHLEEN WILLBOND News-Times editor Dave Moore took a very public approach to his battle with the city after criminal charges were filed against him for alleged failure to pay city income taxes. He talked to the press and openly chastised city officials, mainly law director Alan Anderson and treasurer Kathleen Litkovitz. He credits his campaign to get Anderson ousted from office in the Nov. 2 election for the law director's demise at the polls; Anderson lost to Kenneth Stumphauzer who will be the new city law director in January. Moore printed posters, showing himself in shackles, and purchased newspaper advertising, urging residents to vote in new council members and "Anybody But Anderson," the catch phrase for his anti- Anderson campaign. He claims he'll do the same in two years when Litkovitz is up for re-election. City officials, on the other hand, have said Utile through out the venture, which ended last week with the city and Moore signing a consent agreement in which the city admitted Moore's income tax filings for 1996 and 1997 were correct, and issuing an apology to the businessman. The criminal charges were abruptly withdrawn, with no explanation from Anderson or Ihe city but Moore's civil suit against the city remained intact until last week when he agreed to drop it after the consent agenda was signed. Anderson still claims that he acted properly and with instruction from the treasurer's office. "The last communication I got from the treasurer's office was that there were taxes due," Anderson said last week, adding that the communication indicated that $7,500 in withholding taxes had to be paid. "Litkovitz could have said at any time that they (treasurer's office) were satisfied and I would have withdrawn the charges," Anderson said. When asked why the CONTINUED on page 8 he campaigned to have city law director Anderson ousted from office. He won on both fronts. Moore signed a consent agenda, along with mayor John Higgins, Anderson and city treasurer Kathleen Litkovitz last Tuesday. All parties agreed to drop their charges and suits and the city agreed to apologize to Moore, something he has insisted must happen throughout the affair. According to the agreement, the city "accepts, as filed and without any changes, the 1996 and 1997 city tax returns of Crystal Mortgage Company, Inc., David J. Moore, Lenders M.D. Inc., Bayside Title and Escrow agency. Inc., DJ. Moore Enterprises, Inc., FTP, Ltd, and the employees" of all these businesses.

What are the origins of the concepts under which we organize societies, create institutions and think about our lives? Where did the concept of God or equal rights or democracy come from? How does one idea influence another? Such questions fuel debates, speeches, papers and assignments in history classes, school speaking competitions, ethics classes and more.
The publication of the New Dictionary of the History of Ideas marks the return of a reference work that is an essential tool to make the often complex history of "what we think" accessible to students and general readers. The original 1974 Dictionary of the History of Ideas has long been admired as a landmark document encapsulating the thinking of an era. This thoroughly re-envisioned New Dictionary of the History of Ideas brings fresh intelligence and a global perspective to bear on timeless questions about the individual and society. A distinguished team of international scholars explore new thinking in areas previously covered (communism, linguistics, physics) and present cross-cultural perspectives on more recent topics such as postmodernism, deconstruction and post-colonialism.
While Gale strives to replicate print content, some content may not be available due to rights restrictions.Call your Sales Rep for details.
"Selected as a 2005 RUSA outstanding reference source, the new edition of
this long-standing favorite aids our understanding of the ideas that make up
Western culture. Expanding on the original Dictionary of the History of
Ideas (1974), edited by Philip Wiener, the New Dictionary has a broader
scope introducing global- and gender-neutral perspectives not present in its
Eurocentric predecessor. Academic excellence and scholarship don't keep this
six-volume set from interesting the lay reader. The 700 accessible articles
present new material, with original entries on feminism and antifeminism,
queer theory, and nongender topics like diversity, social capital, and third
cinema. Standard subjects, like beauty and love, are treated at length in
the earlier set and simply updated in the new version to include late
20th-century ideas and non-Western thought. Each entry explores origin,
cultural interpretations, and historical themes. The alphabetical
arrangement is not an impediment to cross-disciplinary study, since a
reader's guide and full index present material in a topical framework.
Bottom Line This delightful foray into humankind's ideas, from abolitionism
to Zionism, is a bargain highly recommended as an essential purchase for
academic libraries. Public libraries of all sizes would also greatly benefit
from its one-stop-shopping approach to the philosophy of ideas."

Romney-Ryan ticket under attack from Democrats
- Post 31 August 2012
- By Atlanta Daily World
- Hits: 344
By STEVEN R. HURST
Associated Press
WASHINGTON (AP) _ President Barack Obama's re-election machine is trying to ruin any political honeymoon Republican challenger Mitt Romney sought to engineer by naming Rep. Paul Ryan as his running mate.
The president and Vice President Joe Biden were criticizing Romney as a supporter of the newly chosen Ryan's budget plans that would overhaul the Medicare health insurance program for the elderly and cut trillions of dollars from other social programs.
The debate was taking place across five battleground states Tuesday as both campaigns were at full speed heading into their politically important nominating conventions with less than three months before the election.
The tight race is dominated by a weak economic recovery and a national jobless rate of 8.3 percent. Polls taken before Romney added Ryan to his ticket over the weekend showed Obama with a slender lead in a contest that will be decided in eight to 10 battleground states.
Romney was in eastern Ohio coal country on the final day of a bus tour. Ryan was in Colorado and Nevada after being heckled by a handful of people on his first solo campaign outing Monday in Iowa.
Obama was also in Iowa for the second of three days there, while Biden, who opened a strong attack on the Republican ticket a day earlier, was campaigning in rural Virginia.
Biden continued the offensive Tuesday, telling supporters that Romney and Ryan are ''good men but they have fundamentally flawed judgment.''
''They call their plan bold and gutsy,'' Biden said of the budget plan that Ryan wrote and that Romney has generally endorsed. ''It's bold. But I don't get what's gutsy about giving millionaires another tax break. I don't get what's gutsy about gutting Medicare and education to pay for those things.''
All four candidates are in so-called swing states, which do not reliably vote for one party or the other in presidential elections. The presidency is not decided in the national popular vote but in state-by-state contests.
Romney has fought off attacks on Ryan's budget plans.
Ryan has ''come up with ideas that are very different than the president's,'' Romney said Monday in Florida, the state with the highest percentage of residents age 65 and over. ''The president's idea for Medicare was to cut it by $700 billion. That's not the right answer. We want to make sure that we preserve and protect Medicare.''
Romney did not say so, but the plans Ryan produced in the past two years as chairman of the House Budget Committee retain the $700 billion in Medicare cuts. Romney said there may be differences between his own budget plan and Ryan's, but he refused to get into details. Romney's staff said the former Massachusetts governor favored a plan to restore the $700 billion.
Romney on Tuesday tried to change the subject, addressing what he called the Obama administration's ''war on coal.''
''We have 250 years of coal. Why in the world wouldn't we use it?'' Romney asked, standing in front of workers at a coal mine in Ohio. He promised he would make the United States energy independent by the end of a second Romney term.
Obama, meanwhile, called on Congress to extend expiring tax credits for wind energy production. The White House on Tuesday pointed to a new Energy Department report saying wind power installations ''surged'' in 2011 but warning that uncertainty over extending the wind energy tax credits threatens to ''dramatically slow'' the industry.
''The wind industry now supports about 7,000 jobs in this state, and 75,000 jobs across the country,'' Obama said. ''These jobs aren't a fad - they're good jobs and sources of pride we need to fight for.''
Obama also mocked Romney for having once said, ''You can't drive a car with a windmill on it,'' declaring that his opponent was short-sighted on the need to find alternative sources of energy.
Romney has opposed extending the alternative energy credits, but several powerful Iowa Republicans, including the governor and a senator, favor the credits. That may give Obama the chance to create a local wedge issue to appeal to unaligned voters.
Associated Press writers Kasie Hunt, Matthew Daly and Ken Thomas contributed.

The key to success with any photo is making sure the subject is in focus. With this in mind, I decided to do a little research on some of my autofocus settings and found an amazing little setting called AI Servo on my Canon DSLR.
I typically use the One Shot Autofocus setting on my camera, which allows you to press the shutter button halfway, focus on your subject and hold that focus at that moment until you press the shutter release the rest of the way. The only problem is if your subject moves, your focus will not compensate for that movement.
But with the AI Servo setting, it can adjust the focus based on your subject. The name is derived from the use of Artificial Intelligence used to predict the speed and distance of the moving subject. It greatly increases your chance of getting a sharp image when your target is moving.
So I thought, let's test this bugger out, and who better to do it on than Bailey. I had her start in the same spot while I focused my camera on her face, and then called her to come toward me, at which point I would press the shutter button all the way. (I did not have my camera set to shutter priority, because I usually don't and wanted to test this on settings I typically use, which is manual or aperture priority, ISO 200, and for this I used a 50 mm prime lens.)
I used the One Shot Autofocus for the above photo, and you can see that once I called B to come and I took the photo, she was out of focus.
Then I switched over to AI Servo (this being my first time) and did the same thing, focusing on her face, called her to come and quickly took the photo. Look how much more in focus it is. Granted, it's not perfect, but this is a first try people!
On a technical note, in One Shot AF, the in-focus indicator blinks when the subject can't be focused, but it lights up when focus has locked, as opposed to no in-focus indicator light appearing when the subject is being successfully tracked in AI Servo AF.
Good job B. Here's your reward…wait…wait…wait…OK, take it!
I have more to learn with this setting, but it's worth checking out in my opinion. Hope you enjoyed!

JJ Lopez + Prince Klassen: The Davenport Disco Demo
Recommended Listening / DJ Mixtape
In the early 00's San Antonio had a very special thing going on right in the heart of the beautiful historic downtown area. The Davenport was definitely a highlight in my memory that is still always called on. These were the days before Serato, but still in a weird transitional phase for a lot of DJs at the time. I am not trying to sound like an old head that hates everything new… though most new things are pretty wack. The fact is, the internet had not quite put it's grasp around San Antonio's neck. You could still have a quality night of quality music with no interruptions from your local knuckle head/becky.
JJ Lopez really molded The Davenport into a unique experience in San Antonio. From it's early beginnings of one JBL speaker and NOTHING but Northern Soul & Hard Funk 45s to Disco/House/Hip Hop/Soul nights that all held their own. I am glad to have been apart of it, but wish I was there more often than I was. I did live 3 blocks away from there after all.
This mix was made on a Friday night in 2005. All Boogie/Disco, all vinyl, all live. I was already living in Austin at the time, but it was a special night and glad JJ came across the mix recently while making a move.
To download + listen to the mix, you must learn.
Writing about San Antonio is a hard thing to do without sounding condescending. I hope none of this gets taken so. There is a little write up I would like to do sooner than later about what it means to be from what I would call a "shadow" city, so hopefully that happens.

For the last 50 years, Scotty Woodward has been cutting the hair of Logan County's fathers and sons. Generations upon generations he has served throughout his career as one of this community's most well-known and most loved barbers.
Being a barber has not been a job for Woodward, but instead has become a part of who he is. Having the opportunity over the past five decades to meet so many wonderful people is something Woodward views as a privilege.
"It's more than just cutting hair," he says, adding that it's making relationships that last a lifetime.
It all began in 1969, after Woodward graduated from Auburn High School. He said he always had a knack for being a barber, at least that's what his uncle told him, who he used to shave all the time.
Woodward and a friend decided to go check out the barber school in Louisville one day. The friend left, but Woodward didn't. He was 17 years old and packed his bags to go live with relatives so he could attend the Kentucky College of Barber. He said his parents weren't really happy with the idea of him moving to the city at first, but he wanted to make a go of it.
Within months Woodward proved he did in fact have a knack for it, and graduated from barber school. His first job was for a man by the name of Paul Bransetter of Horse Cave. He only worked for him for a while and then decided to return home to Logan County. Woodward found a home with Hunt's Barbershop, which was owned by another well-known, Pete Hunt. He worked for two years there before being drafted into the United States Army, which pulled him away from the comb and scissors professionally, as well as Logan County for a few years.
Woodward, who was stationed in Germany during the Vietnam War, said he wasn't a barber for the Army, but admits he did cut the hair of his buddies while serving.
When Woodward came home he went back to work at Hunt's where he stayed for the next 27 years. In 1994, Woodward said it was time to start his own barbershop. He went out on his own and opened a place on Summer Street where he is today. He has one other barber working with him, Mike McGee, who has been side-by-side with Woodward for the past 12 years.
"God has blessed me with a good business," said Woodward, adding he could not count how many people's hair he has cut over the years, but knows it's a lot.
Woodward said he knows most people's faces and can do a pretty good job of remembering first names. While doing this interview, he recalled cutting my grandfather's hair, telling me where he lived and remembering that he was a rabbit hunter. My grandfather died almost 30 years ago. Woodward can recall one family who he has cut six generations of their hair.
Woodward has seen a lot of changes throughout the years, from hair styles to the atmosphere of the shop itself. He said hair has gone from short to long, to back to short again. Men used to come to the barbershop to "hang" out, play checkers, talk about politics, sports and hunting and just get away from the wife once in awhile. Now, people don't seem to have the time anymore to just sit a spell.
One thing hasn't changed, however, and that is the camaraderie between barber and customer. Like a beautician, barbers are therapists on the side. They talk about life and other things. The only difference with a man is you gotta no when to talk and when not to. Woodward said he had one man who told him he liked coming to him because when he felt like talking it was okay and if he didn't…well that was okay too.
Woodward just recently returned to work from a short time off. He was diagnosed with lung cancer in February of this year. It was hard, said Woodward, who had surgery to take a portion of his lung out. After several treatments to follow, Woodward was found cancer free.
"God has blessed me," said a tearful Woodward. "I can't tell you how many men have come into the shop after I got back that hugged me and said they were glad to see me. So many people put me on their prayer lists and that is why I am still here."
Woodward works from Tuesday through Saturday half days. He says he is so glad to be back at what he loves to do, which is talk to people and do what he has been doing for most all of his life… making relationships that will last his lifetime.

A fascinating convergence is upon us right now bringing a perfect opportunity for open-minded information professionals.
In the world of marketing and public relations, scale and media are no longer the deciding factors. The world works in real-time now. Speed and agility are an organization's decisive competitive advantage.
The mantra of the day is: communicate quickly. In real-time.
There is an opportunity for information professionals to make the connection between real-time information and the opportunities and threats to an enterprise as a result. This requires agility. The marketing and PR people need your help because they don't have the skills to interpret data in real-time like a bond-trader.
Sadly, many corporate libraries have reduced or eliminated their staff and that means talented researchers and information professionals have been laid off. I've had a chance to speak with various information professionals recently and many are downcast about career prospects.
At the same time, many organizations — corporations, nonprofits, government agencies, and educational institutions — finally understand the value of creating interesting information online that serves to educate and inform consumers. People in companies now realize web marketing success comes from creating content-rich web sites, videos, podcasts, photos, charts, ebooks, white papers and other valuable content.
Companies I speak with are trying to figure out who will create the content that they need for their online initiatives. Marketers, executives, and entrepreneurs say things like: "David, I need help. If I knew how to create great content, I'd already be doing it."
At every speech I deliver I say to corporations one of the best ways to create great Web content is to actually hire a journalist or information professional, either full- or part-time, to help identify opportunities (and threats) and actually create information that will serve as what I call "brand journalism." Journalists and information professionals are great at understanding an audience, researching, and creating content that buyers want to consume—it's the bread and butter of their skill set.
What this convergence means to you, a smart journalist or information professional:
You went to graduate school to learn how to research, organize and access information. Yes, the employers who traditionally hired your skills are shrinking fast. But there is an entirely new world out there for you to consider: marketing departments and public relations departments. Please keep an open mind about this.
I'm talking about creating content for a corporation, government agency, nonprofit, or educational institution. You've probably not seriously considered that there are potential employers outside of traditional library and information centers.
Yes, there are new potential employers. And they need you and your skills. Now.
You've learned that you need to collect information on all sides of a story. You wonder how can you be balanced if you work for the "dark side." I get that. But if you realize that your skills are in demand right now, you've got a new and fascinating opportunity.
You don't need to compromise your integrity. You still provide authoritative research and access to content. You still practice your craft. You still have followers who care about what you do. You still change people's lives.
The idea of using your research skills should be to educate and inform, not to overtly sell products. While some of you would rather wait tables than work for "the man," others of you will find the opportunity refreshing.
It may even make you more marketable for traditional gigs with information hungry enterprises, as long as you are dedicated to providing quality content while pioneering this new way of using your skills.
If I had my marketing dream team, I'd fire the marketing staff and hire journalists and information professionals. I can't emphasize this enough: you have a role in real-time marketing.
