Through choosing your thoughts and then locking it, you have chosen your action. So the question is which thoughts were you choosing?
I suggest you reread this paragraph again.
You exist simultaneously in many different forms and dimensions and possess many personalities. You choose which reality you want to live in based on your intentions and past experiences.
You are the observer and the participant. And you choose which behavior and actions you're going to participate in. The things you observe in your outer world are nothing more than a projection from your inner world.
Imagine you have thought for the future that you want to create $100,000 in the next year. If you are focusing on that, feeling it, acting on it and then reinforcing it with your actions, the money starts to take physical form and start coming to you. Same way if you're putting out an intention of $100,000 and you stress how it will comes in and you keep telling yourself how you need and how bad you economy is, then this cancels your universe actions and it does not come.
Anytime you think, feel and act, broke or worry about the problem, you are sending out a vibration that is bound to cancel your intention. This is why so many people struggle with manifesting the things they desire in their lives. In other words, only vibrations that are in resonance with each other can harmonize. This is the scientific principle behind the Law of Attraction.
It is critical that the BIG THREE - thoughts, feelings and emotions – should be in harmony along with your actions. If they are not in sync, They will INTERCEPT, and they will cancel each other out.
This is why making a decision based on where you are going, not where you are, is so critical. The key is to accept where you are without resistance. You accept "what is" without fighting it, and you keep your intention on your desire. This is the secret to manifestation.
I suggest you reread this paragraph again.
You just have to align with level of vibration. What you desire is possibilities. So get in harmony with it, start taking action based upon it and that is sure to come to you.

Ensure that document matches include...
...all of these word(s):
...and optionally include these word(s):
...but do not have these word(s):
Enter your phrase:
Enter the first few characters of a word:
There are 2 types of basic queries: Terms and Phrases.
A Term is a single word search.
A Phrase would wrap a string of words in quotes and find matches on the extact string.
Boolean Operators
You can combine basic queries with Boolean operators to form a more complex query. Boolean operators define the relationships between Terms or Phrases. Our search supports the following Boolean operators: AND, "+", OR, NOT and "-". Please note that Boolean operators must be all uppercase.
example search: default AND document
This is the default operator. It will be used if there is no Boolean operator between two terms. For example:
default document is the same as default AND document. In this case both terms need to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.The + character is synonymous with using AND.
example search: default OR document
In this case just one of the terms needs to exist within a listing to find a match on that listing.
example search: default NOT "document type"
The NOT operator excludes documents that contain the term (or phrase) after NOT. So a listing match would have to include the word default but not the phrase "document type". The - character is synonymous with using NOT.
Wildcard/Prefix queries
You can perform "wildcard" or "prefix" queries using the '*' operator. Whereas all of the previous search found exact matches on the whole term or phrase, a wildcard search will find partial matches.
example search: ehr*
This query will match all documents containing words beginning with the prefix 'ehr' like the word Ehrlichia.


text: She was the kind of girl who rolled out of bed in the morning with a hot, messy head of Medusa hair. The kind of girl with feathers and weed stems and bits of fuzz tangled in her dark curls, sparkles of glitter stuck to her lips and face, smeared with heavy, black makeup. Who woke up to a cold room filled with half-full, forgotten teacups and the stale scent of cigarettes mixed with opium incense. Woke up with a brain full of buzzing and blinking lights, memories of smashed bottles and bubbling witches' brew and a $3.50 pint of whiskey in a wine glass, lipstick prints on the glass and half a pack of Djarums. Blink, blink, blink, eyes half-shut with dream glue, still waking from a fantasy of flying narwhals and mushrooms the size of houses, she wobbles across the room, knocked-kneed and skinny, on a quest for water. Plods down the hallway, freckly elbows hitting turquoise-painted walls, up the creaking stairs, and into the dingy bathroom. She's the kind of girl who has a collection of children's toothbrushes--- Hello Kitty in a kimono riding a purple dragon, a giraffe with bristles for teeth, Spongebob in a pineapple under the sea--- lined up by the mirror, and uses her hands for a cup. Small, pink lips breathe the water in, a strong jaw swallows, a belly fills and gurgles. She's the kind of girl who throws her clothes on the floor instead of hanging them up and takes a shower without shampoo or conditioner, but lots of bubbly, plum-smelling soap. She stumbles into the kitchen, turns on NPR, and listens to "All Things Considered" in her panties over toast and strong coffee. The kind of girl who tosses her hair back and doesn't take milk. The perfect kind of girl.

Which Shows You What I Know
by ELLEN ANN FENTRESS
June 1993
"Didja hear me? Train's pulling out." Gus jangles the keys to our Pop Tart-cream station wagon, as he sweats in his tie and gray seersucker church suit at the bottom of the stairs. Gus's shout-out is our regular Sunday kick-off.
"Hey, yo---Train's Pulling Out." His voice shifts to nearer the kitchen door. "It's eight thirty."
"We're coming." My bronze kitten heels bap down the stairs.
"Don't you look swell." Gus's eyes monitor me from behind his wire rims. Actually, I never turn the corner into the kitchen dressed to go somewhere that Gus doesn't say I look great. This morning, however, I think I look pretty damn fetching. My suit's ivy-green--from the DKNY rack at the New Orleans Saks. My red frizz is pro-actively pulled back in a gold barrette to face off the hot slither of the June day.
"Thanks." I grab his jacket shoulder for a handrail and land my lips on his cheek and his neat honey beard. Our gazes fuse, and we grin in synchrony. A herd of—well, actually four—white Mary Janes pound down the stairwell. Molly and Kate, in identical knit mauve sailor dresses, barrel into the kitchen.
"Hey, y'all look pretty." Gus flings his arms out and squats to wrap an arm around each. The hallway light hits his head just so, and his rosy skull gives off a sheen. His hair, an ear-to-ear amber fringe, is damp and just-combed.
"Let's go," I grab coloring books and markers for pew entertainment.
Gus hikes Molly on his hip. Kate yanks a handful of his jacket. They wobble as a unit through the back door to the car. As Gus straps them in, I pluck a daylily from the flowerbed by the carport and plop in the idling wagon.
"Okay?" Gus has the air conditioning cranked to Roar.
"Okay." I pull down the visor and skewer the daylily to my lapel with a straight pin.
Gus pokes the CD-player button.
"What do you do...."WITH A DRUNKEN SAILOR," chime Kate and Molly a nanosecond later. A drinking ditty wouldn't have been my idea for a preschool CD, which shows how much I know. Shel Silverstein is as fundamental to any car ride of ours as a tank of unleaded.
"WAY-HAY...." In the mirror I watch Kate's blonde head and Molly's red one bop like dashboard pets. I re-admire the orange lily on my inherently pretty-snappy lapel.
"...AND UP SHE RISES EARLY IN THE MORNING...." The girls' white-grosgrain hair bows flop like helicopters to the beat.
"...SHAVE HIS BELLY WITH A RUSTY RAZOR." Gus whaps the steering wheel in time. Gus doesn't need a sea shanty on the audio for his shoulders to bounce. Gus always sort of jiggles--part of the spilled-over energy I love about him.
"There you go." Gus points out the windshield with one of his steering-wheel fingers. "Name's changed again." The former SPEEDY CLEANING sign now says STYLECARE. "Worst cleaner in the world," Gus says brightly. "They keep changing names to dodge liability."
"What's liability?" Kate asks.
"What pays the bills, sweetie." Gus says jovially. A benefit of Gus's spot in the local legal loop is that he is a human anti-Rolodex. He's a constant source of info on who's regularly getting sued. He's always noting who's the worst in town at what they do, whether it's orthopedics or supermarkets that fail to watch for muggers in the parking lots. On road trips, we all shout in unison when we pass the yellow-and-cobalt 18-wheelers from the truck line that tops Gus's roster of the inept. "All I can say is when you see one, duck," he advises with cheer.
Outside my window, the dry cleaner drops away, and midtown Jackson slides by. Despite the Sunday morning departure drill, on a deep level I'm relaxed. Being in our family quartet releases an almost afterglowish calm in me. It occurs to me that these days, I'm more comfortable than I've ever been. At thirty seven, I have what I always assumed adults wanted: a suitably doting, keeper spouse of a dozen years, two engaging offspring and the necessary bank balance, shelter and food to stay in business. I have bingoed.
"Hey—here." At the 300 block of Capitol Street, Gus pulls up in front of the Governor's Mansion into possibly the sweetest parking spot in the state.
"How come this space is here? Church starts in three minutes." I ask.
"You gotta have faith, baby." He flings open the door. I know he's inwardly gloating that the parking slot is here. It validates his general theory that the only way to know if you can pull something off-- and trying to park up front applies--is to try. Gus gets that, but a lot of people don't.
He unbuckles the girls. In the morning shadow of the Governor's Mansion and the church, we also face Mississippi's first skyscraper: the gargoyle-dotted 1924 Lamar Life building, where Eudora Welty's insurance-executive father was one of the suits. Three blocks up on the Pearl River bluff, the old Mississippi Capitol looms. It is where legislators voted to secede in 1861 and later where the state showcased an Egyptian mummy. An Ole Miss med student X-rayed the mummy in 1969, and it turned out to be paper-mached German newspapers and a crumbly Milwaukee Journal from 1889.
Neo-Gothic and cola-fizz brown, St. Andrew's Episcopal Cathedral has clung to its Capitol Street corner since 1903. Outside its hob-nailed Magic Kingdom doors stands the friendliness table: a station for blank stick-on name tags and markers. St. Andrew's is big on name tags. So is Kate, who hunches over the table and prints away.
Inside, we take our customary pew against the right-hand wall. Gus sits by the wall to catch the air conditioning puffing up from the floor vent. Kate stretches her arm along the pew's top edge. When Kate's arm retreats, a "KICK ME" tag is on Gus's seersucker back, peeking up over the walnut bench top. The window above us is of the Holy Family, glowing teal and camellia red. Mary snuggles baby Jesus while Joseph stands alongside, loyal and solid. In the nine a.m. sun rays, Joseph gleams as an eternally good sport. Like Gus beneath, I think.

Satin walked swiftly over to Fleet, and stood beside him so her side touched his. She nuzzled his shoulder. "No kidding, we can always go back if your too scared..." The snow started falling, since they were fairly close to the top.
A flake landed on Satin's nose, but she shook it off. She was currently fetlock deep in snow, and seemed fairly happy about it.

Identical Twin Priests: Fathers Gary and Todd Koenigsknecht
Dear Parishioners,
I was reading a story from the New York Times recently regarding priestly vocations flourishing in a particular area of Michigan. It caught my attention because this is usually not the type of story reported in a secular, national newspaper. More than likely, the focus in such a newspaper is on some church scandal and/or how the Catholic Church is incorrect in some teaching or another.
Fowler, Michigan has twenty-two priests to its credit as does its neighboring town of Westphalia. Forty-four priests from two small towns with a combined population of about two thousand people.
What's their secret?
Reading information from a secular newspaper source is not always the best way of reporting something theological, religious or spiritual. I did notice that the Times article mentioned "a weekly prayer hour dedicated to religious vocations." I went to the web site for the parish of the Most Holy Trinity in Fowler to get more details. More precisely, I discovered the parish there holds a weekly Eucharistic Adoration for Vocations—a Eucharistic Holy Hour—followed by Mass.
Since my seminary days, I have believed in the importance of Eucharistic adoration and its intimate connection to the Catholic priesthood. I can remember the great reverence for the Holy Eucharist that the pastor from my childhood parish (St. Ann's, Wildwood) had. It was so mystical the way that Msgr. Joseph Conlon gazed at the Eucharist. As I knelt next to him as an altar boy, it seemed to me that he was somehow other worldly. I can't necessarily put it into words but I somehow knew that he and I were kneeling before Jesus, the Son of God. No doubt about it!
Then I read something printed in the Most Holy Trinity church bulletin:
This is how St. John Vianney taught his faithful to pray: "You do not need many words when you pray. We believe on faith that the good and gracious God is there in the tabernacle; we open our souls to Him; and feel happy that He allows us to come before Him; this is the best way to pray." He did everything that there was to be done to stir up the reverence and love of the faithful for Christ hidden in the Sacrament of the Eucharist and to bring them to share in the riches of the divine Synaxis; the example of his devotion was ever before them. "To be convinced of this, witnesses tell us, all that was necessary was to see him carrying out the sacred ceremonies or simply to see him genuflect when he passed the tabernacle."
Unfortunately, this year the Diocese of Camden did not ordain a single priest. Years ago, this same diocese ordained large classes of twenty to thirty or more. Maybe it's time that we once again get down on our knees and pray to (rather, beg) Jesus in the Holy Eucharist to send us priestly and religious vocations. Spending time before the Blessed Sacrament, while fostering and encouraging priestly and religious vocations, seems to work in Fowler and its surroundings.
What do we have to lose? (Maybe our faith. The stakes are really that great.)
Fr. Ed Namiotka

Hi there Team Titleist,
Just want to share my story inside the ropes on tour.
As you might noticed in my profile it said I'm a tour caddie. That's correct I'm caddying on the PGA European Tour & Ladies European Tour since 2008. Over the last couple of years I've worked a lot for Titleist players on the mens & womens tour.
As recent I'm caddying for Titleist staff player: José-Filipe Lima We have been a great team since 2014 but it's coming to an end.
I've spent 10 years on tour, travelling around the world and playing a lot of nice golf courses.
Apart from the caddie life I've always brought my Titleist carry bag and played where I could. Spending many hours in the Titleist tour truck, seeing all the nice products and how to clubs are getting build.
I've found it always fantastic to see how to Titleist tour reps prepare a golfclub with so much passion and feel for the game.
As LIMA is struggling to get his tour card on the PGA European Tour I'm going to put an end on a great partnership and enjoy life with my wife, with more golf to play.
The new Titleist TS series is getting a massive launch now. The new products doing very well especially the drivers. Recently I've purchased my own Titleist AP2 718 & SM7 wedges with the Players 14 carry bag.
Thank you Titleist for the amazing years and now it's time for happy swings!

Ole Miss has a lot to brag about. The flagship university for the state of Mississippi, educational hub of the Cultural Mecca of the South, home to one of the highest ranking teams in the SEC, and perched on one of the prettiest patches of ground east of the Mississippi, there's plenty above-board action to keep a body entertained for quite some time. As with all universities, however, Ole Miss has a few quirks and hidden gems waiting for those who are willing to dig a bit deeper; here are some of our favorites:
- The Lyceum is more than just an admin buildingThe Lyceum is the only one of the five original university buildings to remain standing (photo courtesy of JR Gordon)
It's also been a hospital, a library, and the site of one of the most violent university protests in history. Built in 1848, the Lyceum once served as an all-in-one to the university's original eighty students, housing lecture halls, faculty offices, a geological museum, and the library. When the university shut down during the Civil War, the building was repurposed as a hospital for both Union and Confederate troops, and the 250 soldiers that met their end there are buried in a cemetery on university grounds. The Lyceum saw two more casualties in 1962 when James Meredith became the first black student to enroll in the university. Look closely at the columns that line the facade, and can still see the scarred markings left by errant bullets during the riots that followed.
- They were almost the Admiral AkbarsStar Wars' Admiral Akbar was among the top contenders for the new Ole Miss mascot, though Lucas Films politely declined the invitation: "The last time we checked in with Admiral Ackbar he was leading the Rebel Alliance Fleet on a critical mission so it will be difficult for him to show up for the games"
Or the Horses. Or the Lions. While the overt racial implications of the original Ole Miss mascot, Colonel Reb, may have long since faded, few can argue the mascot's inherent symbolism, and in 2003, the heavily-lidded, cane-wielding, enviably-mustachioed Colonel Reb was forced into early retirement. In a show of solidarity for the dear, deposed Reb, the student body obstinately refused to entertain the idea of any other mascot for seven years. In 2010 the university once again attempted to name a new mascot, and a mixed bag of candidates—River Boat Pilot, Land Shark (complete with Jaws theme song and wiggly hand-fin), Horse, Lion, the enigmatic Ole Miss Hot Toddy, and, yes, Star Wars' General Akbar—all garnered support. Emerging at the top of the polls was an anthropomorphic black bear named, not surprisingly, Rebel.
- It was home to the South's first female professorOne of Sarah Isom's students, Stark Young, reported that she warned her students that they would "never amount to anything if all they did was marry and become housewives."
Sarah McGehee Isom was a fiery, loquacious redhead with a penchant for oratory and a swagger for the stage. Fortunately, the University of Mississippi was wise enough to see her value and in 1885 made her the Chair of Elocution—the first female staff member in a co-ed institution of higher learning in the South. No blushing belle, Miss Isom was the stuff of legends, patently ignoring female students that she believed were only using school as husband hunting grounds and relaxing by driving to the country to smoke cigars and meditate. The university's Center for Women and Gender Studies is named in her honor.
- Before students donned seersucker and bowties, their suits were gray Only four students reported for classes in the fall of 1861; all others had enlisted in the Confederate army
On May 4, 1861, four months after Mississippi seceded from the Union, a band of 135 students—almost the entire student body—lined up in front of the Lyceum, reporting to join the ranks of the Confederate army as 11th Mississippi Infantry, the so-called University Grays. Though they were distinguished from many of their compatriots by both education and status, the University Grays fought valiantly in a number of infamously bloody battles, including Pickett's Charge at the Battle of Gettysburg. The Grays made their way further into Union lines than any other company, though they paid dearly for their commitment; the company suffered 100% casualty.

This is a more contemporary, tongue-in-cheek sort of story than is my usual. There is no splatter. In fact, it's barely horror. Though I hope you ask yourself by the end, "Where are we going and why are we in this handbasket."
When you get to the end, the last line is a double entendre — something I'm quite fond of.
December 01, 2010
My first day on the job and I am so excited. After being unemployed for most of this year, a small software company in Boston has hired me. It only took three weeks to relocate to a house south of the city in the community of Pekingnocginot Heights.
My wife, Elizabeth, has never been out of southern Florida and can't wait to see New England snow for the first time.
December 12, 2010
Snowing! My wife is giddy as a school girl. The snow barely covered the lawn and she went out trying to make snow angels.
I stopped by Home Depot to pick up a snow shovel and noticed they had quite a selection of snow blowers. I can't imagine being that lazy.
December 13, 2010
Too bad the snow finally stopped. It makes the outdoors so pretty. The blanket of white makes everything so much brighter—happier. The snow plow operator even waved to me.
My commute to work went a little slower. At mid-point, we were forced down to one lane. The only plow I saw was going the other way.
Driving home, I picked up a puppy so Elizabeth has some company while I'm at work. She hasn't named the little Shih Tzu yet. He is mostly white and fluffy.
December 20, 2010
More snow and everyone's excited that we'll have a white Christmas.
Elizabeth decided to name the puppy Snowball.
The commute to Boston was messy this morning and my Toyota Yaris doesn't do well in the slushy ruts.
You'd think with all the plows on the road it wouldn't be a problem. But I noticed that most of the trucks with plows don't even seem to use them. They just hang there, a foot off the pavement.
December 21, 2010
I stopped at the mall on the way back from Boston to do a little Christmas shopping for Elizabeth. The parking lot has huge mounds of snow in the few remaining parking spaces. It took a while to find a place to park.
I slipped and fell crossing to the mall entrance. I was worried that the oncoming plow operator might not see me. Apparently he did. He stopped and waited for me to get up. I think I hurt my tail bone, and I hope the dirty slush doesn't stain the elbows of my coat.
December 26, 2010
Blizzard! How lucky is it that it's Sunday. No driving — or so I thought.
Elizabeth sent me out for milk and eggs, so I went over to Cumberland Farms. In the parking lot, a pickup truck with a big yellow plow pulled out while I was pulling in and it scared the bejeezus out of me. I got my supplies and slid down the sloping entry into oncoming traffic. The first four cars honked their horns but none of them hit me. When I got home I quietly changed my drawers.
December 27, 2010
They're asking everyone to stay home today, so I called-in to work. No one answered the phone.
I shoveled as well as I could, but my back is bothering me and it isn't helping that my tailbone still hurts. By late afternoon I had the driveway cleared enough to get the car out if I need to; then the plow went by and blocked me in again.
There should be a law against that.
January 01, 2011
They're calling for more snow and I told Elizabeth I couldn't shovel any more. She said it was just a little snow. Inside I raged like a madman, outwardly I smiled and left for Home Depot.
When I got there, the thousands of snow blowers were gone; so I went to the front desk and asked a woman behind the counter where they were. She said they were sold out of them and wouldn't be getting any more till next season.
I managed to hold my composure until I got back in my car.
January 02, 2011
Snow: not much but still. I put out three bags of rock salt and threw two handfuls at the passing plow.
January 08, 2011
Snow, again. It's, like, every frickin' weekend. I'm not clearing it because the plow guy will just block me back in again. I swear he waits just out of sight. Bastard.
And it's gotten really cold. I opened the door to let Slushball, the puppy, out. He gave a shudder, turned back to the kitchen where he squatted and did his business.
January 12, 2011
Have we had a week without snow falling? I traded my Yaris in for a Highlander which rolled three times while getting off the highway here at the exit ramp leading to Pekinocginot Heights.
After I came to a stop, the plow went by—probably just to get a closer look.
I hurt my neck when I released the seatbelt and landed on my head.
January 19, 2011
My insurance policy set me up with a rental car. It's a new red Yaris. In the middle of my hideous laughing, the rental agent began backing away.
In the short time I was driving the Highlander, I got used to being taller in the saddle, so-to-speak. So when I didn't see anything coming beyond the snow bank at the first intersection, I made a right turn and was promptly creamed by an oncoming snowplow. The impact twirled my car around, bouncing from one snow bank to the other.
He helped me out of my violent red Yaris, and I chased him down the street swinging the remains of the steering wheel, still in my clutches.
February 04, 2011
White sheets, white robe, white curtains that open to a white world.
The nurse has little dinosaurs on her blue uniform.
She comes by, like clockwork, with a tiny white cup to dispense a tiny white pill.
Outside, I can hear the scraping howl of the plow.
It's waiting, just beyond the bend.

American walnut, also known as black walnut, produces beautiful, dark-hued hardwood floors. Homeowners in the Clearwater, East Lake, New Port Richey, Oldsmar, Palm Harbor, Port Richey, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs and Trinity areas love walnut hardwood because it is a unique and classic option for their home. It adds an elegant and contemporary look to any room, and its rich color and complex grain patterns will appeal to any homeowner. Think walnut floors might be for you? Here are a few tips from the experts at Floor Coverings International East Lake to help you decide:
Advantages of Walnut Hardwood
Walnut flooring typically has a rich, nut-brown color and a varied grain that makes it stand out from other types of hardwood. Its natural coloration varies from the creamy golden tones of the sapwood to the brownish-black of the heartwood. Homeowners can install walnut in both of these color variations for a unique look. Walnut takes stain, polish, and sealant very well, and it can be finished to a consistent coloring throughout. Unlike most hardwoods, walnut does lighten over time from sun exposure. As one of the softer hardwood species, walnut makes for a more comfortable wood floor.
Disadvantages of Walnut Hardwood
American walnut is a softer hardwood, so it is more susceptible to denting and scratching. It isn't an ideal hardwood choice for areas of the home with high amounts of foot traffic. On the Janka hardness scale, American walnut rates at only 1010 – lower than many other common hardwood species. However, walnut hardwood can be sanded and refinished several times, which helps to keep it looking like new even when damage occurs.
Let the experts at Floor Coverings International East Lake work with you on your new hardwood project. Schedule your free in-home consultation where we bring the samples right to your door! Our trained design associates will work with you to select the best flooring option for each room of the house. We proudly serve the greater Clearwater, East Lake, New Port Richey, Oldsmar, Palm Harbor, Port Richey, Safety Harbor, Tarpon Springs and Trinity areas and look forward to working with you!

Northern Powerhouse rebounding after the recession
05 Nov 2015
The Northern Powerhouse cities are closing the gap on the rest of the UK according to the fourth annual Good Growth for Cities Index.
The report the progress of 39 UK cities analysed, based on the public priorities for what has been described as "good growth", which includes employment, health and skills. The report which is compiled by PwC and think tank Demos, looked at the 'Northern Powerhouse' for the first time, since George Osbourne launched the concept in 2014.
The data shows a slight narrowing of the gap for the first time, with the Northern Powerhouse area benefitting from falling unemployment rates as well as above average ratings for housing affordability and transport.
Jonathan House, PwC's local government leader in the North, said: "These results highlight that despite the damage caused by the recession, there have been some clear, positive signs of recovery in the Northern Powerhouse since around 2012, which additional policy initiatives and investment should look to build upon."
Ian Morrison, PwC's Yorkshire & North East regional leader, added: "It is encouraging that the Northern Powerhouse region is rebounding following the severe impact of the recession, but there is still more to do to ensure public priorities are being met when it comes transport, health and jobs. These are all things that will be helped by a greater degree of decentralisation."

Where did the name "Turtle Cove Dental" come from?
"A friend and I had taken our kids to Mall of America, Underwater World. They have a turtle tank that the kids loved. Later, I saw a web site for marketing that said "don't be the average McDentist with a fish tank. I was thinking one night of attributes I wanted the office to express, and I started to write down the words: *T - Tranquil and Trusting *U - Understanding *R - Relationship-Building * T - Teaching *L - Listening *E - Educating. I looked at the list vertically with the first letters of each word and saw "turtle." I don't know how it happened, but it set off a chain reaction of epiphanies and the name was set."

How You Play Out The Years
The first fever you ever had
the weight of a feather
on your brow like circumspection
gone wrong
or a father with heavy hands
(puts you into the wall sometimes)
a slice in the center of your first
and last word
we're gonna be here a while
says the lady with the kind of eyes
you learned to run away from
your mothers eyes
burned out like a bomb site
near a hovering water tower
where the kids drink at night
and star dust levels out the noise of the highway
transient daymares
all the clothes on the line
at the end of the world
can't you feel the fever taking
its sweet time
the hand print
of your father
the dry wall flaking off your sleeves
the disappearing-into-yourself act
and how
twenty years later
it still feels like the first and only real pain you've ever felt.

KFRC Fantasy Fair, June 1967
By Ted Liebler from Scram #16
While the highly documented Monterey International Pop festival continues to be remembered as the crowning and turning point event of the 1967 Summer of Love, another pivotal festival took place just two weeks before the John Phillips/ Lou Adler/ Andrew Oldham-directed affair. On June 2nd and 3rd, the celebrated summer kicked off with the KFRC Fantasy Fair and Magic Mountain Music Festival at the summit of Mount Tamalpais in Marin. The festival presented a line-up teeming with pop gems, starring many bands simultaneity floating on the then open-ended AM and FM airwaves of the time. Every Mother's Son, the Merry-Go-Round, the Mojo Men, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles, the Seeds, the Blues Magoos and the Byrds were just a few of the acts which shared the stage with icons like the Jefferson Airplane, Doors and Captain Beefheart.
The charity festival, benefiting the Hunters Point Child Care Center, is also fascinating because it was assembled by a commercial AM radio station, just as the FM free-form cadre were gearing up for their eventual coup. KFRC 610, being the big RKO-Bill Drake "Boss" Top 40 AM radio station in San Francisco, had the universal clout to pull in counter-culture bands/ heads, commercial bands /casual listeners, and all those in-between. (Incidentally, the festival seemed to be sort of an adult playground with its concentric domes display and a giant Buddha balloon greeting the attendees when they were dropped off at the summit by "Trans-Love" buses. In darker foreshadowing contrast, it's also rumored to be the first festival to use the Hell's Angels as security.)
Alec Palao wrote of the fair in Cream Puff War #1: "The dichotomy in Bay Area music was never so evident, as the self-proclaimed "adult" scene separated itself from the "teen/pop" scenes." Paradoxically, Greg Shaw recalls that there was not really a large gap splitting the radio preferences of the teens and the hip until Tom Donohue's free-form KMPX fully flowered in the fall of '67. "Being a KFRC event, it probably attracted some younger fans who wouldn't have minded [Every Mother's Son], with the older hippies coming for their own reasons, if only a groovy day out in the sun."
Besides being one the first radio station sponsored "be-ins," it was also one of the last great Top 40 radio events until the Wango Tango era. Initially, it seems startling that an AM outlet would sponsor a huge outdoors "love-in," when their usual jurisdictions were record hops and teen fairs. However, conventional history seems to overlook the power and influence that Bill Drake had during this transitional time. In 1965, Drake introduced Los Angeles to the "Boss Radio" format with its action-packed, bright and tight playlist at KHJ. With legendary Boss Jocks Robert W. Morgan and The Real Don Steele on board, it took just five months for the streamlined station to dominate the L.A. market. After conquering, L.A., RKO gave Drake free reign to program and consult other vital markets including San Francisco (KFRC), Detroit (CKLW) and Boston (WRKO).
In fact, the supposedly polarized pre-Monterey Bay Area scene seems to have actually encompassed everything from perky pop to raga rock. Shaw ruminates further on the vague demarcations between the pop and rock scenes. "As I recall it KFRC did not have an anti-hippie stance at all. It's true that Bill Drake developed his Top 40 philosophy there, but in late '66 I attended a meeting with him (together with my co-editors) urging the station to get behind the "new music" more and offering some suggestions (the Blues Magoos was one that I recall). He then patiently explained that he loved all this new music, but had to deliver the numbers. However he welcomed our input. And the station did play the Airplane, and some other popular local sounds (possibly even the Great Society? I'm hazy). It was only after KMPX started that there was any real line drawn, and even then KFRC supported as much local talent as they could." Shaw concludes, "That of course is only my own recollection of a tiny fraction of how and why things were the way they were. And I'm not really a primary source. All I'm saying is that there is a very complex social tapestry to what was going on, musically and otherwise, in SF between 1966 and 1970. This event, I'd guess, encapsulates some of the curious paradoxes."

You might want to put those dollar bills back in the bank for the time being. The long-simmering "Magic Mike" sequel is still only at the "maybe it'll happen" stage of the game.
There's a catch according to Magic Mike himself, Channing Tatum, isn't sure the film can happen without his pal and "Side Effects" director Steven Soderbergh involved with the project. "There are scripts [for those projects]. We're always working on them and I think that you'll probably see 'Jump Street 2' more than likely [first]," he told MTV News at the premiere of "Side Effects" last week in New York City, dashing hopes about the future of the "Magic Mike" franchise.
"You saw 'Jump Street' before 'Magic Mike' in the past," he continued. "I don't know, like look, I don't know if we can do 'Magic Mike 2' without our General [Soderbergh]. So it's hard. It's a hard situation to be in. Soderbergh says he'll produce it and we're like 'OK, what director's going to want to come on and like try and come behind you?'"
Soderbergh has already said that he's done with film. So that means he certainly won't be back in the director's chair to put his signature stamp on the sequel to the hit 2012 film about a bunch of male strippers with hearts of gold. It's been long rumored that Soderbergh's assistant director Greg Jacobs might take over directing duties. Tatum added, "It's hard. We're gonna figure it out; either [Soderbergh will] do it or maybe we won't do it. We'll figure it out."
While the project's status is still unknown, MTV News caught up with Tatum's co-star, Matthew McConaughey, at Sundance Film Festival last month. He seemed more hopeful about the sequel's fate. "I know it's something that's legitimately brewing," he shared, before adding what would to go down in the sequel to get him to sign on again.
"In the right way. It would be so much fun, but I would only be able to do to revisit Dallas if I really go 'OK, that's what he would be doing.' And Dallas can't become like all of a sudden obviously comedic," he explained. "I'd have to keep him the same tone. He's committed."

The Un-Sport
Earlier tonight, New York Yankees pitcher Chien-Ming Wang sprained his foot while rounding the bases. Wang, who had to be helped off the field, came up lame while trotting at three-quarters speed on a meticulously maintained field of play.
Hearing this news after watching the Celtics and Lakers maul each other for 48 minutes only reaffirmed a gnawing suspicion:
Baseball players are not athletes.
The dictionary, of course, roundly rebuffs the previous statement. According to dictionary.com, an athlete is "a person trained or gifted in exercises or contests involving physical agility, stamina, or strength; a participant in a sport, exercise, or game requiring physical skill." And this point I will concede—baseball players are extraordinarily gifted, blessed in all manner of throwing, hitting, and going to salary arbitration.
Something is wrong, though, when a player can't run—nay, jog—without getting hurt. Something is askew when a sport can sport an obese vegetarian. In professional basketball, football, hockey, soccer, or just about any other institution inhabited by bestial, sculpted automatons, running is merely the prologue to a story built of jumping, cutting, checking, dunking, blocking, tackling, scissor-kicking, and fouling. Even golfers, whose "athlete" status is heavily disputed, can walk 18 holes without heading to the disabled list.
Boston Red Sox pitcher Curt Schilling, a luminary of the sport and future Hall of Famer, describes himself on his blog as "not having one ounce of athletic ability." Imagine Tracy McGrady, Randy Moss, or Sidney Crosby saying the same of themselves—not only would they be incorrect, but the very nature of their work would inherently disprove such a claim. Professional basketball (McGrady), football (Moss), and hockey (Crosby) demand a masterfully integrated skill set, wherein speed, power, and agility (and in hockey's case, skating)—in other words, athleticism—are paramount.
Baseball does not demand the same prowess. The sport's tasks are markedly linear and distributed: someone throws, then someone swings, then someone runs, then someone catches. Only one athletic act is performed in any given moment, and a different person performs each task. Forget an integrated skill set—baseball players only enact one motion at a time, and often, a player only possesses one skill. Pitchers in the American League, for instance, do not hit. Designated hitters do not field.
The result? A nominally agile, semi-out-of-shape guy who can nonetheless throw a ball with unusual velocity—say, Curt Schilling—can become a sports legend. In Schilling's case, his skills, or lack thereof, could never translate into a career in another sport. Baseball is the only place, in other words, where a person without athletic ability is called an athlete.
If baseball players are to be considered athletes, then so are bowlers. And billiards players. And, for that matter, master carpenters—they, too, excel at a particular manual task. If baseballers are athletes, then by equivalency, so are musicians. One might argue that performing a Bach cantata takes more adeptness, accuracy, dexterity, and agility than throwing a baseball. If baseball players are athletes, then virtually anyone with a honed, individuated skill must be classified so.
Chien-Ming Wong hobbling off the field rang with inevitability: hurlers can't be expected to run, just as a master carpenter can't be expected to paint the house he builds. Just because two tasks happen in proximity to one another does not mean the same person can perform both.
As the Celtics-Lakers series slowly morphs into a classic, one can't help but wonder how Wang or Schilling would fare in a machismo-laced battle with Kevin Garnett. Not well, no doubt, but no matter: they're paid to throw a ball, and Garnett is paid to be an athlete.
Stay Sprained, CMW

Culture And Politics
I've been trying to remember the programs I saw in Austin the night PBS programming came on the air in 1969. No luck so far. There was something about Joplin and Hendrix about that time, but I don't know if I saw it that first night.
I saw some good things on PBS. Sometimes, I wonder why they don't pull out all that tape and put together a week-long best of PBS. I remember Orson Bean in Star Wagon, singing Jerusalem, telling his side-kick as long as I've got a dollar, you've got fifty cents. Krishnamurti. Alan Watts in the afternoon. Documentaries like High School.
I was at Arden House in New York at a Corporation For Public Broadcasting bash for documentary film makers the night Richard Nixon cracked down on PBS and the CPB. Rumor had it the disaster had something to do with Frederick Wiseman's Basic Training. I never found out. But, after that week, it seems to me the story of PBS has been the saga of a long, slow climb back into the light.

I still have a tremendous amount of regret for having squandered the many opportunities to hear the Ring for FREE while living in Germany. Politics won out here.
It was only at the very end of my time there that I allowed my political responses to recede to open up some space to appreciate the music. I never turned back.
It may take a week for me to get to the other topics in this post.

We used to see The Ring in Seattle when a few people still dressed for it. Sat front row center in the seats they roped off and put fire and smoke warnings up for the night of Gotterdammerung. I really love Wagner. I could watch the conversation between the Wanderer and Alberich in Siegfried a thousand times. Ominous fate. When I think of that word, I think of the Wanderer. Foreboding. Cruel. Connecting that to the Nazis is like opening the door of a white hot furnace. Not even your bones can survive.

Amazing how many great artists have been tainted for many of us because of their ties to the Nazis.
Wagner is still such a hard pill to swallow for so many Jews. His anti-semitism is indisputable.
I have friends, Holocaust survivors, who when flying to Europe, refuse to do any connecting flights in Germany that would force them to step foot into that country. Too much pain.
I grew up around Jews in the Bronx. I know more Yiddish than many of my Jewish friends. I'm considered an "honorary Jew " by most of them. So I did my part in boycotting all Wagner while in Germany. But then one day, a Jewish colleague and I were assigned to sing two of the nine Walküries. We both thought long and hard about it.
We ended up doing it and had the time of our lives. Neither one of us had big Wagnerian voices. But screaming our heads off, making love to our steeds, and running around with our speers, singing that incredible music. Man, it was amazing!
- March 13, 2009 at 3:01 PM
- Billy Glad said...
You should have sung Brunhilde, refusing to obey Wotan. It's clear Wagner thought of the Jews as Nibelungen. Coppola used the music brilliantly to convey the US Army's attitude toward the Viet Cong. Or I guess I should say he made it available to me so I could make that connection if I wanted to.

Great scene in the movie. I remember the feeling the first time I saw it.
Getting back to metaphor and metonym for a minute here.
I assume we can consider this an example of metaphor. But it's still hard for me to grasp completely. I imagine metaphor and metonym can be in the eyes of the beholder? No?
I mean isn't it possible that person A, unfamiliar with Wagner's politics might hear the music as simply beautiful and as a result inelegantly applied to a horrific moment?
Then person B, who is relatively familiar with Wagner's politics might likely transfer only the Nazi connection to indicate power over the victims and nothing of the symbolism inherent in the Ring.
And the next person C, more familiar with Wagner and the Ring, would go as far as you did and supply the connection of the Niebelungen to the American attitude.
So, is person C on his/her way to metonym when the images and connections they bring from what they know about Wagner and the existing metaphoric links from the Ring are applied to that scene?
Is that more like the river and the workers in Pudovkin's film, but done in the mind of the viewer?

I think totally in the mind of the beholder. If you don't have any other associations, it's just thrilling music playing while things get blown up. Could be it's based on fact of some kind, too, though I doubt it. All that Wagner/Nibelungen/Jews/VC stuff is going on in my noodle. Whether it was in Copola's, too, is anybody's guess. In Pudovkin's case, you don't have to guess. He puts the river and workers together in the same shot in a way that tells you what he means.
P.S. You stumped the gmail bot. All that came up was an Audi dealership.
- March 14, 2009 at 1:07 PM
- GirlFromTheBronx said...
Ah, but Audi is a German company and so is Krups and Krups was one of Hitlers' biggest backers in the war. And Hilter loved Wagner ... So maybe the gmail bot is just adding subtlety to its menu.

text: DigitalDavid Beckham: Covered or Uncovered? Fans Can Now Vote for Ending of H&M Underwear AdBy Elizabeth S. Mitchell|January 27, 2014 ShareBy Elizabeth S. Mitchell|January 27, 2014 ShareWe recently brightened your day and renewed your hope for the future by telling you that David Beckham would be appearing on your TV screen in his H&M skivvies sometime during the Super Bowl. The first interactive spot of its kind, the ad will allow owners of Samsung Smart TVs to purchase underwear with a few clicks of their remote controls. But if you don't have a Smart TV, fret not; the ad just got a bit interactive for you, too–albeit, still not in quite the way you're probably hoping. H&M announced that, starting today, fans can vote on the ending of the commercial, directed by action movie maker Nicholas Winding Refn. There are two potential endings, tantalizingly titled #covered and #uncovered, and you can vote for your favorite on the retailer's website.Fair heads-up: If your initial instinct is to vote "uncovered," you should know that, after checking out the website, I found that (of course), the super-provocative words actually have little to do with the soccer star's stage of undress; he is, in fact, in his underwear regardless (cue collective sigh of relief). Plus, even if that were what we were voting for, after watching the teaser (below), I have to admit that he looks so damn good putting his shirt back on, I'd be happy either way.

Sign Language Research
Explore the benefits of signing with pre-verbal infants, toddlers beginning to speak, children with special needs, children who can hear, children learning foreign languages, and more.
Decades of research have been conducted demonstrating the many benefits of signing with children who can hear. An internet search on the topic will produce many results. We have provided just a few of the best-known resources to share with you.
Joseph Garcia's research
As Joseph Garcia began working as an Interpreter in the late 1970's, he noticed that hearing babies of deaf parents could communicate their needs and desires at a much earlier age than children of hearing parents. Joseph began to research the use of American Sign Language with hearing babies of hearing parents at Alaska Pacific University in 1987. His thesis research showed that babies who are exposed to signs regularly and consistently at six to seven months of age can begin expressive communication by their eighth or ninth month.
Research on How Signing Helps Hearing Children Learn to Read – summarized by Laura Felzer of Cal Poly University – Pomona.
Marilyn Daniels, Ph.D.Dr., a professor of speech communication at Penn State University, has found that hearing students in pre-kindergarten classes who receive instruction in both English and ASL score significantly higher on the Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test than hearing students in classes with no sign instruction. Her studies demonstrate that adding visual and kinesthetic elements to verbal communication helps enhance a preschool child's vocabulary, spelling and reading skills.

Dr's. Linda Acredelo and Susan Goodwyn
In a longitudinal study involving 140 families, Linda Acredolo and Susan Goodwyn discovered that babies exposed to signs outperformed non-signing babies in comparison after comparison. The study demonstrated that signing babies understood more words, had larger vocabularies, scored higher on intelligence tests, and engaged in more sophisticated play than did their non-signing counterparts.
Parents of signing babies in the study reported decreased frustration, increased communication, a deepened bond with their child, increases in their child's self-confidence as well as increases in their child's interest in books. Additionally, when Acredolo and Goodwyn revisited the families in the original study when the children were seven and eight years old they found that the children who signed as babies had a mean IQ of 114 compared to the non-signing control group's mean IQ of 102.
