CMN Receives Credit Union Donation
Each year during the month of April, credit unions across the country spotlight their efforts to help parents and schools educate young people on the importance of saving money and learning how to spend responsibly. This year, eight St Louis-area credit unions (1st Financial Federal, Alliance, Arsenal, Electro Savings, First Community, Southpointe, Vantage and West Community) took it one step further by combining efforts to raise money for Children's Miracle Network (CMN). Overall, they donated more than $5,200 to CMN.
"As credit unions, we fully understand and embrace the importance of financial education for our youth through special promotions and financial literacy programs throughout the year," said Michelle Rosner, vice president of sales and marketing at 1st Financial Federal, speaking on behalf of the group of participating credit unions. "Credit Union Youth Month allows us to pair our education efforts with fundraising for two amazing hospitals in the St. Louis area! It's win-win."
In addition to promoting youth financial literacy during Youth Month, each credit union committed to donate $5 to for each new youth account that it opened; collectively, the group opened 348 new youth accounts in April. Each credit union also agreed to hold its own unique fundraisers for CMN. Arsenal and Southpointe credit unions held contests for their youth members to make deposits. Arsenal gave away an e-reader with a free book download and a bicycle in random drawings, while Southpointe gave away a $50 gift card and other prizes. Alliance Credit Union revved up its employees with an internal contest offering a night out at the movies to the first branch to open 20 new youth accounts and a free pizza lunch to everyone if the credit union reached its overall goal of 50 new youth accounts. Both Electro Savings and First Community donated an additional $5 to CMN for youth deposits greater than $25.

Clan History
Walsh Family History
The clan name Walsh is the fourth most widespread family name in Ireland. It is found throughout the country and across the globe as the Irish have spread their wings and flown to other places in search of another life and adventure. The word Walsh refers to the Welsh origins of the clan. The Irish Gaelic word for Welsh is Breathnach which explains why some early members of the clan were referred to as Breathnach and derivations of this. Surnames such as Brannagh, Brannick, Breathnach, Welsh and Walshe all derive from the same source.
The name arose in the 12th century when Normans of Welsh and English origin arrived in Ireland under Strongbow. The native Irish referred to many of these soldiers and followers as 'Breathnach'. This has given rise to the numerous locations where Walsh is found – the term Breathnach being used as a generic name for any of these Breathnachs/Welshmen that turned up in a locality. Its wide distribution must be a tribute to the wandering and adventurous nature of the early Walshs.
The Walsh name is quite prevalent in the South East of Ireland, in particular,the coastal counties of Wexford, Kilkenny , Waterford and inland to Tipperary. The Normans first landed in Bannow Bay in County Wexford around 1169 – a short sea journey from Wales which probably explains their popularity in those counties. Interestingly the current N25 road from Rosslare ferryport towards the South and West of Ireland follows a direct route through these counties to Waterford and the N24 picks up the route from Waterford. So if you are taking these roads, be aware that in a way you are following in the footsteps of your Walsh and Norman ancestors. They probably used the Rivers Barrow and Suir in their adventurous endeavours, but these too intersect or run parallel with the N25/N24 in several places.
The Walsh name is also linked historically to Counties Kerry, Mayo, Kildare, Meath and Dublin.
One of the first families to be identified as Walsh in the South East was the Walsh clan known as Walsh of the Mountains. The founder of this branch of the clan was Philip 'Walensis' also known as Philip 'Brannagh' both meaning Welshman. He was one of the band of Normans who arrived in the 12th century and is said to have come from either Wales or Cornwall originally.
Philip rose to prominence during a battle in Cork in 1174 when he vanquished the leader of the opposing army. He married a member of the McCarthy clan and settled in South Kilkenny when granted lands there – in the area around Kilmoganny, in the barony of Iverk.
His brother David was granted lands in Carrickmines in Dublin.
Philip's descendants intermarried with locals and invaders and spread across the country including Waterford, Kilkenny, Wexford, Kildare, Dublin and Kerry. Much of the land in the possession of the Kilkenny Walshs was confiscated by Cromwell in the 17th century. Family members fled to Europe and are cited as having lived in France and Tenerife. Descendants of the Carrickmines family fled to Austria.
The Mayo Walshs are said to be descended from Walynus, a Welshman who was in the army of Maurice Fitzgerald.
The name Walsh in Kildare and Meath is connected to Walynus and also the Kilkenny Walshs of the Mountains.
In parts of the country the name Walsh is pronounced Welsh – which causes annoyance to some of those of the clan, who perhaps don't want to be reminded of the Welsh forbearers!
The names Walsh and variations of Breathnach have been used interchangeably. A Thomas Walsh who was a bailiff in Cork in 1405 was also listed as Thomas Brenaghe. A college teacher of mine had been knows as Mr Walsh. Imagine our surprise when he returned one year and said that he was to be known as Mr Breathnach from then on.
Walshs have been prevalent throughout Irish history. The 1798 Rising records show a number of Walshs were active in the rebellion in Wexford including Davy Walsh of Ballygow, Edmund Walsh of Sutton's parish, John Walsh of Effernogue and Nicholas Walsh, a captain from Enniscorthy who was hanged in 1800.
Brothers James and Thomas Walshe were involved in the Easter 1916 Rising where they were based in Clanwilliam House. There is a story that as they fled the scene, in their attempts to cover their uniforms, they acquired some clothing from an unoccupied house. One draped a lady's coat over his shoulders and the other pulled on an overcoat as disguises to aid their escape.
Walshs have been writers and journalists too. John J Welsh was a travel writer who took up walking as an exercise on the recommendation of his doctor. He was based in New York and travelled from there to Cobh in 1929 where he undertook a walking tour of Cork and Kerry. He wrote Ireland Afoot in 1931 describing his travels. Andrew Walsh, a Limerick printer founded the Limerick Journal in 1739. The Munster Express newspaper was founded in 1860 in Waterford by the Walsh family and continues to to-day. It is a good source for local activities.
The Kilkenny Walsh crest (Castlehale) shows three swans pierced through the heart.
The Kilkenny Walsh family motto is "Transfixus sed non mortuus" Pierced but not dead.
The Carrickmines (Dublin) crest shows a rampant Lion.
The Carrickmines/Dublin motto is "Noli Irritare Leonem" (Do not irritate the lions).
Walsh in music.
With a name as widespread as Walsh, it is no surprise that they feature in Irish music. A well known dance tune is Walsh's Hornpipe. So, pull back the furniture and take a few steps to this lively tune.
A Kilkenny Walsh John Mac Walter Walsh of Inishcarron Castle was a poet of the 17th century. He was known as 'Tatter Jack Walsh'. Tatter means father or head of the clan. None of his poems have survived, but a popular dance tune is called Tatter Jack Walsh.

Portland, Ore., September 18, 2001 – Millennium Three (M3), manufacturer of rider-designed progressive freestyle snowboards, is known for its website featuring its team and products via state of the art technology fused with cutting edge designs. M3 has once again raised the bar with the re-launch of www.m-three.com for the 2001/02 season. Not only are riders who visit www.m-three.com treated to the latest product offerings and team updates from M3, but they can also catch video clips such as "Beer Can Squash", "Crazy Naked", and Blaise's infamous "Monkey Dance".
From the moment riders log-on to www.m-three.com, they are treated to an online snowboarding experience like no other website has offered before. Riders are greeted by M3 team manager Romey's news column, where they can receive all the latest scoop on the M3 team. Want to know why team rider Scotty Wittlake had his drivers license taken away, hear recent stories and misadventures from M3 road trips, and find out where the team is headed for the season? This section has all the answers.
Inside www.m-three.com, riders have complete access to M3's expanded snowboard and softgoods line for the 2001/02 season. Not only can riders check out the specs on all the boards, they can now listen to audio clips of their favorite team riders talk about what types of conditions and terrain each board performs best in. Once riders find the board(s) and accessories they're going to ask for this Christmas, they can search the dealer directory to find the nearest shop to pick up all the M3 goods. Team rider Mitch Nelson spent much of his summer internship at M3 compiling all the info for the dealer directory, so don't disappoint Mitch by not checking it out.
The M3 team of Blaise Rosenthal, Brandon Bybee, Chad Otterstrom, Gabe Taylor, Kendall Whelpton, Micah McGinnity, Mikey LeBlanc, Mitch Nelson, Risto Scott, and Scotty Wittlake is also extensively featured. M3 will continually update profiles and interviews with each of the riders throughout the season and has added both audio and video clips to the site in ways that have never before been seen or heard. Listen to riders talk about recent on-hill experiences or check out the slow motion capabilities of the video clips to see just how Mikey LeBlanc sticks that frontside 270 to frontside boardslide.
"I like how the website goes a little deeper into getting the kids connected to us, with things like the Romey updates and the audio/video clips in the product section," says M3 team rider, Mitch Nelson. "It is our brand and I'm stoked with how it all turned out."
An additional feature to be added to www.m-three.com this season is the board registry, which will allow riders to register their name and the M3 board(s) they ride. Riders' names will be listed alongside the corresponding M3 team rider that uses the same board. Riders will also be able to provide information such as their e-mail address and local mountain, in order to correspond with others on the registry. The board registry will allow riders to interact with one another as well as team riders and obtain feedback on the M3 products.
The new M3 website is once again designed by Portland, Oregon's premier full-service web design firm Paris France Inc. Paris France Inc. worked with M3's team riders and creative director Andy Wright and exhausted the capabilities of Flash to develop the most forward-thinking and interactive website on the market today. Paris France Inc. has won several awards for their design of the 1999/2000 M3 website including two prestigious national awards in the Communication Arts and British Design & Art Direction Annuals. The M3 website was only one of 37 winners selected from 2,050 entries for the 2000 Communication Arts Interactive Design Annual and one of only 107 designs out of 17,000 entries submitted to the British Design & Art Direction Annual, one of the world's most influential design publications.
M3 has prodduced and marketed premium snowboards since 1998. All M3 boards are designed with input from its team riders and are proudly manufactured at its own factory in the USA. Every M3 snowboard comes with an incredible two-year warranty. M3 snowboards will be available beginning in September at the finest specialty snowboarding and skateboarding shops around the world. Customers may also call 1-800-305-4138 or log on to www.m-three.com for additional information on M3, its products, and its riders.


text: My daughter and friend were talking about me making quilts, and the friend offered to give me a whole bunch of fabric. My daughter, who isn't a sewer at all and couldn't tell you what is quilting cottons, corduroy or fleece, said "sure". I picked it up yesterday and there are 3 boxes and 1 huge garbage bag of fabrics. Lots of yardage, a couple of bolts, and smaller pieces, and a wide variety of fabrics - crushed velvet to stretch terry, denim, dressy pants fabric, and about 10 yards of a beautiful navy/cream flowery print that I think has rayon in it. It will take me days to get it all sorted and then washed. What am I going to do with all that fabric that really isn't suitable for a quilt? Some of it still has tags and receipts dating back to 1994! I know rayon will shrink if washed/dried.....is it quiltable? I just can't toss it out.....well maybe the fake fur.....LOL. I can see lots of utility quilts and donation quilts in my future!

This is the pie that Melissa made at our last baking club! I was a wee bit distracted that evening and I can't even remember what I settled on making. Wait!!! I am the queen of photo documentation:)
I can barely remember it (i bake alot), but I made a pumpkin cake or bread rather, I saved the glaze from the scones and defrosted it and squirted it all over the large dish and then 2 small ramikins that I used. By the way, the ramikins were an awesome idea, the bread just popped right out!
Well anyways, our next club is going to be Saturday, December 8th around 2pm, and I think it might be at Dana's house. I would do it here at The Friends House but I think we will have more participants….BECAUSE we are having a session on JUST COOKIES!!! We are going caroling on Sunday evening and we want to pass out cookies to our neighbors!! How fun!! If you have any fun and easy cookie recipes…please send them my way:) Blessings- Tam

Dr. Ron Chapman, state health officer and director of California Department of Public Health in Sacramento said the cases occurred throughout California.
"Immunization is the best defense against measles, with 99 percent of persons developing immunity after two doses," Chapman said in a statement. "With an outbreak in the Philippines and measles transmission ongoing in many parts of the world outside of North and South America, we can expect to see more imported cases of this vaccine-preventable disease."
Imported cases can spread to the community, especially among unvaccinated persons, including infants too young to be vaccinated, Chapman said.
High immunization rates in California have kept preventable childhood diseases, such as measles, at record lows during the past 20 years.
In 2000, measles was declared eliminated in the United States, but the number of cases per year in California ranged from four to 40 cases due to infected visitors or unvaccinated Americans visiting countries where measles still occurs.
Among the California cases with measles onset in 2014, three traveled to the Philippines, where a large outbreak is occurring, and two traveled to India, where measles is endemic, Chapman said.
Measles is a highly contagious viral disease that is spread through the air when someone who is ill with the disease coughs or sneezes.
It is recommended children get their first dose of MMR -- measles, mumps, rubella -- vaccine at 12 to 15 months. The second dose of MMR is usually administered before children start kindergarten at ages 4 to 6. Immunized adults do not need boosters.

Are you completely overwhelmed with the payments of your personal learner's loan? Keeping a track of all the personal learner loans that you hold will take it a lot of time and it is also a very tedious job. Not to mention, the expense of paying the interest on different loans every month is also very high. This is where you need to consider private student loan refinance. It would be a major step for you and would also serve as a helping hand or a very strong support. Loan refinance can actually modify the existing student loans that you have and help you in saving money, in getting out of debt faster and in eliminating headaches. [Read more…]
Why Do People Get Addicted To Porn?
Many of the people often have the opinion that the people who get addicted to porn are because they lack moral fiber, are weak and have no self-discipline. Addiction to porn might seem like a bizarre thing to have but it can be rather harmful to the individual who is addicted to it as well as for the society. It can be classified as a disorder which circulates around the uncontrolled viewing of content like porn movies, images, short films or pornographic material. [Read more…]
Calculating The Claim Of An Accident With Injury Claim Calculator
When it comes to calculating the value of an injury claim, you can only get a good estimate if you share plenty of information about your injuries and your accident.

text: Colon cleansers used in aiding weight loss are taken over a period of days during which the body undergoes cleansing as a result of the agents. As you are required to eat less during this time the cleanser works well by removing toxins from the body. Other wastes are equally removed such as harmful parasites and fecal matter that grows on the walls of the intestines. This works in two folds. Because of the elimination of the waste that had accumulated in the colon, the body experiences a considerable amount of weight loss. Similarly, as the body is taking in fewer calories; there are few intakes of the same by the body at this period. An increase in metabolism leads to burning of more calories and fats in the body which equally brings about a considerable amount of weight loss.Read »

This 2012 Heritage Toronto plaque can be seen near the curb on the northwest corner of Yonge Street and Sheppard Avenue West. Here's what it tells us:
Coordinates: 43.761571 -79.411365
European farmers settled in this area first in the 1790s. The Golden Lion Inn was built in 1824 at the southwest corner of today's Sheppard Avenue and Yonge Street, which became the centre of a small community. In 1860, a large brick general store was built on the northwest corner. Six years later, the "Lansing" post office opened in the store. During the late 19th century, other shops opened north and south on Yonge Street.
Following the extension of the electric street railway in 1896, the surrounding farm fields gave way to residential streets. Lansing rapidly expanded in the 1950s with the widening of Yonge Street and the opening of nearby Highway 401. In 1974, the Sheppard station opened as part of the Yonge subway extension, and the neighbourhood developed into a high-rise, densely populated community.

It isn't every day that you get to see the word "huckster" on Twitter, but today it seems fairly appropriate.
NYSE Chief Duncan Niederauer spoke at Crain's New York's Future of New York Conference this morning, and while we weren't there, we saw some great Tweets about it.
They have to do with @ComfortablySmug, the 29 year-old hedge fund analyst and former GOP campaign manager who tweeted that there was 3 feet of water on the floor of the NYSE during Hurricane Sandy. He's since apologized for the tweet, and hasn't tweeted since...
But that hasn't mollified Niederauer, apparently.
During his speech, according to tweets from Crain's and one of its editors, the NYSE head said he'd like to speak to the young fellow.
From Crain's:
From Crain's editor, Jeremy Smerd:
Could be good to talk it out, no?

text: Israel plans to add 3500 homes to its West Bank settlements The Israeli announcement has triggered a new row with the Palestinians, who argue that it was inconsistent with international law and the internationally-backed roadmap towards peace between Israel and Palestinians. "Canada is disappointed by the Israeli government's decision to build more housing units in the West Bank and urges the Israeli government to reconsider this decision," said Foreign Minister Pierre Pettigrew on Wednesday. Israel said on Monday it would build around 3500 new homes in an expansion of its largest Jewish settlements in the West Bank. "This announcement is out of step with renewed signs of cooperation between Israelis and Palestinians," Pettigrew said. SOURCE: Agencies

Police strike in Bolivia
June 21 - Striking police officers took over a La Paz police station, as protests over officers' pay and pensions plans shut down several police headquarters across Bolivia. Rough Cut (no reporter narration).
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION STORY: Striking police officers took control over police stations in Bolivia on Thursday as they demand wage increases and pension plans. Low ranking officers and their wives stormed a La Paz police station in charge of security for the president among a flurry of tear gas and pepper spray. According to local news reports, the striking officers took the building by force and seized guns and ammunition inside the station and kicked out the police chief amidst clouds of tear gas. The president of a group of wives of police officers, Guadalupe Cardenas, said they wanted to speak directly to Bolivian President Evo Morales to meet their demands. The striking police and their spouses called for a wage increase among other demands. Police earn a base salary of $188 a month and don't have life insurance or a pension plan. The top salary for officers with over 15 years of service is $298. Government minister Carlos Romero has said President Evo Morales' administration is not able to meet the salary demands. The protests have spread to eight of the nine Bolivian departments, shutting down police headquarters in several areas. A police statistics agency said nearly 10 percent of Bolivia's 33,000 police officers were not completing their duties.

Over 200 children and their families took part in a 'Fairy Door Hunt' in Louth last month.
Taking part on National Fairy Day (June 24), the excited children - dressed in wings and tutus - visited Hubbards Hills to follow clues leading to the fairy doors and two missing fairies.
The event was organised and delivered by Magna Vitae Trust as part of the funded project 'Get Out Get Active'.
The project encourages people to take part in all manner of outdoor physical activity to improve their health and wellbeing.
Lindsay Barratt from Magna Vitae said: "We wanted to encourage families to get active together and National Fairy Day gave us the perfect opportunity to do something a bit different. It was a very popular event and was wonderful to see so many families enjoying the time together.
"We are hoping to do another event very soon."

What is responsible gambling?
Responsible gambling means staying in control of how much time and money we spend gambling.
Shared responsibility for generating awareness of the risks associated with gambling.
Creating and promoting environments that prevent or minimise problem gambling.
Being responsive to community concerns around gambling.
Whether you are placing a bet, buying a lottery ticket or scratch-card, playing poker or bingo, or playing on a gambling machine or casino game, gambling responsibly means treating the activity as just one form of entertainment in a balanced lifestyle.
Just like with other forms of entertainment, gambling is a form of expenditure, and responsible gambling means not spending more money or time than we can reasonably afford, keeping in mind all our other responsibilities in life.
Underage customers are not allowed to gamble. In Uganda, all people below 25 years are not supposed to engage in betting/gambling activities.
Fraudulent and criminal behaviour are prohibited in betting. Operators are required to implement anti-money laundering policies and procedures. This involves implementing effective know your customer processes when taking on new customers and tracking and reporting any suspicious transactions.
Customer's information must be private. Protection of customer data and records against unauthorised or unnecessary disclosure is a must. Operators are required to implement policies that ensure controls and measures are in place to prevent unauthorised disclosure and use of customer information. Customer information typically relates to data such as name, address, age, telephone number and email address.
Operators must ensure that payments to and from customer accounts must be conducted according to formal and documented processes in an accurate and timely manner. Operators typically ensure that customer funds are managed separately from their own accounts and that they have sufficient cleared funds to pay all player prize wins and outstanding player balances.
All gaming products should be tested to ensure they are fair and random and that they adhere to the rules of that game. Testing to ensure fair gaming is increasingly carried out by independent organisations.
Operators should comply with the relevant regulatory advertising codes of practice which typically ensure that advertisements are factually correct and do not target underage or vulnerable gamblers, such as players who have self-excluded themselves from gambling. It is also expected that operators should seek permission from the customer prior to engaging in direct marketing through use of the customer's personal details.
Customers should be able to freely make comments or complaints to operators and expect operators to have in place adequate processes and procedures to deal with complaints, either internally or via an independent third-party. For example, ecogra.org provides a mediation service for disputes between players and operators.
Secure, safe and reliable operating environment
Operators are required to demonstrate internal controls and processes that adhere to the licensing conditions as stipulated by the regulatory jurisdiction that issues gaming and gambling licenses. Internal controls should also be implemented to ensure that all operational, payment and technical systems and processes operate securely and effectively. In addition, operators need to demonstrate adequate business continuity management procedures to ensure that operations can continue in the event of unforeseen circumstances or disasters.

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain's Supreme Court said on Tuesday it would investigate a prominent figure from the conservative People's Party (PP) for alleged money laundering offences, as politicians struggling to form a government clash over corruption cases.
Rita Barbera had been in the public eye for several months in connection with an investigation into an alleged irregular party financing scheme in the eastern city of Valencia, where she used to be mayor. She denies any wrongdoing.
Now a senator in Spain's upper house of parliament, Barbera - a PP heavyweight praised in the past by party leader and acting Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy - has legal protection and can be judged only by Spain's highest court.
Barbera has previously denied involvement in a money laundering scheme and said she would collaborate with local investigations being carried out by the court in Valencia despite not being obliged to.
But the Supreme Court said in a written ruling on Tuesday it was now opening an investigation into some of Barbera's dealings during her 24 years as mayor, after a local judge in Valencia was dissatisfied with her explanations and escalated the case.
Barbera has not yet been named as a formal suspect. In Spain investigating magistrates can look into a case and consider whether to formalize charges, and at a later stage, whether it should go to trial.
The case is likely to raise pressure on her to step down, at a time when the PP and other parties are mired in a political impasse after two inconclusive elections that have left Spain without a new government for over eight months.
The PP in particular has been tarnished by a series of corruption cases, and some rivals have refused to back a second term for Rajoy partly as a result of that.
One newcomer party, liberal Ciudadanos ("Citizens"), lent its support to Rajoy in a parliamentary confidence vote in exchange for an anti-corruption pact that envisaged eliminating legal protection for lawmakers.
Rajoy still lost the vote, however, edging Spain towards a third election, possibly in December.
Ciudadanos called on Tuesday for the PP to ask Barbera to resign. Barbera made no public comments on the case.
Spain's acting Justice Minister Rafael Catala, also from the PP, said Barbera had no reason to step down. "This is the first part of a legal process. It is not enough to be demanding any political responsibility," he told journalists.

– Entropic Texts (2015), Jason Nelson and Alinta Krauth –
Entropic Texts is an experiment in using text, image, and an interactive interface, to explore the notion of entropy. Entropy is nature's tendency towards decay. Thus, it is entropy that predicts the arrow of time, and the length of the life of all things – living and material. As you scroll through this artwork, you are lead into a world where the 'force' of decay gets slowly stronger, to the point where text, images, and moving image, become glitched and decayed beyond recognition. This imaginary world of quickening decay is represented by the junkyard. What we often call junkyards are spaces that were once collections of adored or useful items, that have succumbed to entropy, thus they are both clear metaphorical and physical spaces of decay.

An Exorcism—Good Spirits, Begone!; Shaved Women on My Castle of Quiet
Punk / hardcore, much like its absentee father rock, will never die, and goes on, as new generations of bands are formed and blossom. Particularly since the mid-2000s, there are some excellent, exciting new bands emerging, and Shaved Women are high on the list of artists not only keeping the genre alive, but also re-shaping and redefining it for our times.
In Shaved Women's songs, I hear great bands of yore, like The Fiendz, The Freeze, early Circle Jerks and Black Flag. Real punks are brutally sincere and earnest in their work—no poseurs allowed, and these are some of the most talented -and downright amicable- dudes you will meet playing HxCx today.
Their 12" vinyl, originally issued by the excellent Rotted Tooth Recordings label, caught the attention of Jussi at Ektro, and is now available on CD, thanks to the hyper-eclectic Finnish label.
Shaved Women came up from St. Louis while on tour, and pounded out a fierce, tight, and meta-accomplished set for WFMU / My Castle of Quiet, and here it is, on mp3 for your downloading and listening pleasure.
Huge thanks are due to Diane Kamikaze, whose highly evolved engineering & mixing skills always make Castle sessions into something more than they would have been without her expertise and accommodation.
Thanks also to Tracy of Brutal Knitting, who continues to craft my dubious band captures into works of art. (Apologies to SW drummer Tom, who's not visible in this shot; it was the best picture I took by far, so it's what we had to work with; you are nonetheless one of the most fluid and skilled drummers to ever grace Castle airwaves with your talent!)
Big thanks to Ben, John, Tom and Chris!

You've Got the Cutest Little Plague Face; The Gate LIVE on My Castle of Quiet
The Gate, at first glance, are an improvisational / jazz trio, but with information freely flowing in from punk and metal (Brian Osborne drummed with Wretched Worst for their very memorable Castle session last March; bassist Tom Blancarte, also a black metal fan) and horror films (tuba player Dan Peck, in addition to being a fan of black metal et al., is also a horror and cult-film buff), their sound offers doomy vistas, and cinematic, creeped-out passages, as well as hearty improv energy.
This live set runs the gamut of rhythmic / tonal delights, and the listener likewise easily escapes any preconceptions about what a tuba, bass and drum trio might be able to pull off. "Plague Face" will bring to mind Alan Silva and BYG Actuel, as often as it does European B-film music. At just over 47 minutes, this set is a real treat for fans of the "out." Mp3 hotspot > 18 mins.
(music just below the break)
Thanks to Diane Kamikaze for doing a great job with the sound, man-oh-man is it sharp and chunky, and to Tracy Widdess for her appropriately gloomy modification of my band photo. Most of all thanks to Dan, Tom and Brian. Formerly known as The Dan Peck Trio, their debut LP on Heat Retention comes highly recommended (this Pop‑up will take you to a sample from a previous My Castle of Quiet show), as well as their new CD as The Gate, Destruction of Darkness, on Carrier Records. Pop‑up.

An Ancient Love Affair (with hulking synths); The Spiritual Switchboard LIVE on My Castle of Quiet, WFMU 5.11.2012
Positive feedback continues to filter in for this live set, presented on the air a few weeks ago. The Spiritual Switchboard, a collaboration between two of Brooklyn's synth heavyweights, is without question a summit to be reckoned with. Jesse DeRosa (of Baked Tapes, Grasshopper, The Hex Breaker Quintet / Quartet, Shingles, etc.) and Joshua Slusher (OPPONENTS, Creeplings, The Grand Selector, et al.) are busy young men, overflowing with talent and a vibrant urgency to express themselves, and put it all out there, as much and as often as possible. Perhaps surprisingly for that M.O., their works are of the highest quality.
It's no secret that I admire them both professionally and personally, so I was only too pleased to provide the My Castle of Quiet program as a forum for them, a vehicle, with which to continue sharing their prowess, on a journey that began for me personally, back when Grasshopper were the second live band ever to be presented on the program, in August of 2009. The Spiritual Switchboard were joined for this absolutely live session by Joshua Greco (also of OPPONENTS), another super-nice guy with a big talent for swinging it analog.
While harkening back to the 70s "Berlin-school" electronic era, Spiritual Switchboard are also Brooklyn to the core, and there's something about the borough that inspires rough experimentation—a coarse, ominous, urban shroud that flashes the streetlights and rumbles the trains above and below, transcending notions of mere imitation to something wonderfully new, and wonderfully ageless at the same time. It's Klaus-Schulzean, and rolling a handmade in the rain somewhere near Meeker-Morgan.
At this point I'm probably over-waxing, and the music really does speak for itself—a grand synth spectacle if ever there was one. The almost 50 minutes of mighty drone, the spinal currents of bubbling color, and the ever-dancing and encircling transmigrations of melody, leave no doubt as to why listeners are still writing to me about this session.
Tremendous thanks must go to Juan Aboites, who rendered the live sound with panache and sensitivity to the musicians' needs, and to Tracy Widdess, who yet again reconfigured my photo of the band in action into a thing of beauty, suitable for framing. Thanks most of all to Joshua, Jesse and Joshua, for providing The Castle with yet another great session to remember and enjoy.

A Living Portrait, from the graveyard to your door; Occultation LIVE on My Castle of Quiet
What is metal, or rock for that matter? While others scramble for last-minute sub-subgenrefication, I am happy just to watch those umbrellas widen, and the envelope swell and burst. Occultation are such a band, one that tastefully mines not-immediately-recognizable influences, and much like that pre-job interview adage, "just be themselves, they'll be fine." Fine they did do, having grown leaps and bounds since the impressive Somber Dawn demo, to a sound that defines itself throughout their debut full-length, Three and Seven, on Profound Lore.
That first demo, and an early, related live video clip, led to their My Castle of Quiet invitation, and it was an easy call for yours truly that the band was indeed a perfect fit to the horror-gloom purveyed weekly on the radio program. These complex, richly haunting songs marry almost to an absurd ideal with the essence of MCoQ, such that it was an easy decision to host a live performance, positioned to promote their groundbreaking first release.
Here's their set, short, sweet and brimming with power >
A heap of cobwebby thanks to Bob Bellerue, creator of the Ende Tymes Festival (this weekend!), who engineered the session with his usual aplomb and almost empathic understanding of the band's sonic goals and emphases. Thanks also to Tracy Widdess of Brutal Knitting for smashing up my gritty iPhone captures into a thing of beauty.

From the Eaten Ogress to the Berzerker, and all that lay between; Wretched Worst LIVE on WFMU's My Castle of Quiet, 3.16.2012
So it goes with "heavy" bands nowadays; it's the ones that defy easy genre-fication that are closest to my heart. Sure, black metal is amazing, but it's the projects that don't let the sound play them that really shine. And so it is with punk-noise bands like Drunkdriver, Tinsel Teeth (ed., avoid name dropping), and our guests a few weeks ago, Wretched Worst.
Wretched Worst appeal to me in the same way Flipper does, that feeling of almost falling off the building, as though things might get reckless in the room at any moment. And they carry on the tradition of anything-goes experimentation, forged by the Subterranean Records scene in the 1980s, where one can just grunt, or make one very sparse, metallic noise with great earnest, or let a good, collective drone just go, for five or more straight minutes. Noise-brut, one might call it. These indefinable, maniacal songs are regardless quite pleasing to the ear.
But make no mistake, one could also hear Wretched Worst and get none of what I just wrote, and just find their head swirling in heart-jarring thrusts, very sexual and wildly human. Hard as hell. L'humian désenchaîné.
So before I take on airs even more, let's just get to their set, and let that be the proof in the pudding. Quite righteously engineered LIVE by Diane Kamikaze.
Thanks to singer Matt (Matt Minter, WW vocalist), who does most if not all of the band's record-and-tape packaging art, and is a unique talent; maybe the closest references I could cite would be Raymond Pettibon, and 80s, L.A. punk-flyer art in general, but with an ultra-modern, disturbing-horror angle as well. Thanks also to the band—Aaron, Thad and Brian (who will join us again on The Castle, playing drums with The Gate on April 27), and thanks to Tracy Widdess for mashing up my (and possibly Diane's) captures of the band, to create the glorious portrait that accompanies this article.
Dig it! Wretched Worst on bandcamp.

The Louisiana Folklore Society was founded in 1956 to encourage the study, documentation, and accurate representation of the traditional cultures of Louisiana. Our members include university professors, professional folklorists in the public sector, secondary school teachers, museum workers, graduate students, and other individuals interested in Louisiana's traditions and cultural groups.
The Louisiana Folklore Society requested a website that would showcase its members' films, books, photography, music, articles and other works. I created a customized user interface, allowing society members to log in and update all of the site's information through posts. Other site features include: customized theme, personalized header, image slideshow on home page, customized calendar, video tutorials, paypal integration, Facebook button, donate button, contact form, and automatic database backup.

Abstract: Although cationic cell-penetrating peptides (CPPs) are able to bind to cell membranes, thus promoting cell internalization by active pathways, attachment of cargo molecules to CPPs invariably reduces their cellular uptake. We show here that CPP binding to lipid bilayers, a simple model of the cell membrane, can be recovered by designing cargo molecules that self-assemble into spherical micelles and increase the local interfacial density of CPP on the surface of the cargo. Experiments performed on model giant unilamellar vesicles under a confocal laser scanning microscope show that a family of thermally responsive elastin-like polypeptides that exhibit temperature-triggered micellization can promote temperature triggered attachment of the micelles to membranes, thus rescuing by self-assembly the cargo-induced loss of the CPP affinity to bio-membranes.

Abstract: We have adsorbed plasmid pUc19 DNA on a supported bilayer. By varying the fraction of cationic lipids in the membrane, we have tuned the surface charge. Plasmid conformations were imaged by Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). We performed two sets of experiments: deposition from salt free solution on charged bilayers and deposition from salty solutions on neutral bilayers. Both sets show similar trends: at low surface charge density or low bulk salt concentration, the internal electrostatic repulsion forces plasmids to adopt completely opened structures, while at high surface charge density or higher bulk salt concentration, usual supercoiled plectonemes are observed. We experimentally demonstrate the equivalence of surface screening by mobile interfacial charges and bulk screening from salt ions. At low to medium screening, the electrostatic repulsion at plasmid crossings is predominant, leading to a number of crossovers decreasing linearly with the characteristic screening length. We compare our data with an analytical 2D-equilibrated model developed recently for the system and extract the DNA effective charge density when strands are adsorbed at the surface.

Abstract: Giant unilamellar vesicles or GUVs are systems of choice as biomimetic models of cellular membranes. Although a variety of procedures exist for making single walled vesicles of tens of microns in size, the range of lipid compositions that can be used to grow GUVs by the conventional methods is quite limited, and many of the available methods involve energy input that can damage the lipids or other molecules present in the growing solution for embedment in the membrane or in the vesicle interior. Here, we show that a wide variety of lipids or lipid mixtures can grow into GUVs by swelling lipid precursor films on top of a dried polyvinyl alcohol gel surface in a swelling buffer that can contain diverse biorelevant molecules. Moreover, we show that the encapsulation potential of this method can be enhanced by combining polyvinyl alcohol-mediated growth with inverse-phase methods, which allow (bio)molecule complexation with the lipids.

Abstract: Inspired by recent atomic force microscope (AFM) images of plasmids deposited on oppositely charged supported lipid bilayers from salt free solution, we propose a model for strongly adsorbed supercoiled cyclic stiff polyelectrolytes. We discuss how the excess linking number Lk of the deposited cycle is shared between writhe Wr and twist Tw at equilibrium and obtain the typical number of self-crossings in the deposited cycle as a function of surface charge density. The number of crossings at equilibrium is simply determined by the crossing penalty which is a local quantity and by the excess linking number. The number of crossings is well defined despite versatile plasmid shapes. For moderate numbers of crossings the loops are rather small and localized along the primary cycle, as expected from entropic loops. In the regime of many crossings, the cycle takes the shape of a regular flat ply ruled by local stiffness. The model allows for a semiquantitative comparison with the AFM images of deposited plasmids which are strongly charged.

Abstract: We report an experimental study in which we compare the self-assembly of 1 μm colloids bridged through hybridization of complementary single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) strands (12 bp) attached to variable-length double-stranded DNA spacers that are grafted to the colloids. We considered three different spacer lengths: long spacers (48 500 bp), intermediate length spacers (7500 bp), and no spacers (in which case the ssDNA strands were directly grafted to the colloids). In all three cases, the same ssDNA pairs were used. However, confocal microscopy revealed that the aggregation behavior is very different. Upon cooling, the colloids coated with short and intermediate length DNAs undergo a phase transition to a dense amorphous phase that undergoes structural arrest shortly after percolation. In contrast, the colloids coated with the longest DNA systematically form finite-sized clusters. We speculate that the difference is due to the fact that very long DNA can easily be stretched by the amount needed to make only intracluster bonds, and in contrast, colloids coated with shorter DNA always contain free binding sites on the outside of a cluster. The grafting density of the DNA decreases strongly with increasing spacer length. This is reflected in a difference in the temperature dependence of the aggregates: for the two systems coated with long DNA, the resulting aggregates were stable against heating, whereas the colloids coated with ssDNA alone Would dissociate upon heating.
