Exclusive: Bryan Ferry On His Three Favorite Looks + New Vid
Bryan Ferry is the epitome of an icon. The British musician (whose voice Wikipedia aptly describes as "an elegant, seductive croon") first shot to fame as the writer and front man for the legendary glam rock band Roxy Music, enamoring glitter girls and boys alike with love ballads like 'Mother of Pearl,' lo-fi alien-like gems like 'Ladytron,' and classics like 'Virginia Plain.' But the way an icon becomes an icon is their ability to transcend time and fads, an endurance that has made Sir Bryan as successful with his 15 (!) solo albums as he has with his renowned style – I mean he is, after all, deservedly regarded as one of the most stylish rockers of all time.
Not one to slow down, Ferry collaborated last year with dance master Todd Terje on a cover of Robert Palmer's simply irresistible song 'Johnny and Mary' (featured on Terje's It's Album Time), slowing it down and adding that sexy croon that makes Ferry's voice so unique. With the release of the song's video, which was directed by Brantley Gutierrez and stars Ferry and model Eliza Cummings, Milk Made's Ana Velasco got the lowdown on what he hasn't checked off his bucket list yet, the weirdness of hearing cover songs, and what his favorite iconic looks are.
You're a music veteran who has met and collaborated with countless of musicians. What is the most exciting part about collaborating with contemporary artists like Todd Terje?
I suppose the thrill of the unexpected. It's always good to work with people who have complimentary talents, and Todd Terje is a brilliant musician working in a parallel but sympathetic universe. He is well known for his off-beat forays into somewhat kitsch genres, but in the case of 'Johnny and Mary' Todd reveals a strong sense of cinematic drama.
With a song like "Jonny & Mary" that's been covered so many times where do you look for inspiration to create something different?
I think you have to look deep inside yourself, and see what kind of echoes reverberate.
Do you remember the first time you heard one of your songs on the radio?
Yes, I remember clearly. It was 'Virginia Plain' and I was with the rest of Roxy Music in the group van driving along the freeway. It was quite a shock.
You are quite the fashion icon. What are three favorite looks you've worn over the decades?
In no particular order: Antony Price's beautifully cut white tuxedo; his equally dashing G.I. khaki uniform and the 'Re-make/Re-model' tiger skin jacket.
What feels stranger, creating a cover of a song or hearing one of your songs being covered?
It's quite a rare experience to hear a cover of one of my own songs.
What are other contemporary musicians or artists you like and/or would like to collaborate with?
Got any ideas?
Your son Isaac produced the video. What's it like working with family? How is it different?
It can be quite testing… But in this case I'm very impressed with the production.
What is your favorite aspect about filming music videos?
I find editing the most interesting part of the video process.
You've already lived such an impressive life, and have been able to do things like tour around the world and even get knighted by the Queen. What is something on your bucket list that you still haven't done?
Hit the jackpot.

Despite the sheer amount of grime production pouring out of laptops across the globe, it still feels a little novel to hear it naked, sans MC.
Of those artists dragging these reluctant instrumentals into the spotlight, there's a spectrum: on the left, OGs like Terror Danjah and Swindle have grown out from under the rappers they began their careers alongside. On the right, there are innovators like Proc Fiskal, who've cherry-picked the genre's hallmarks and spun their own warped hybrids.
Silk Road Assassins fall into the latter category. The three former music tech students were discovered by Planet Mu alumnus Kuedo, who was instrumental in getting them their first release on the label back in 2016. When asked about their influences, they cite video games and film soundtracks, not a youthful baptism in The Sound of the Streets. But sonically, their chilly brand of electronica references grime's heritage with liberty and integrity. Debut LP State of Ruin is therefore a tale of two shades: dark, go-hard sub-shakers contrast with light ambient-ish works, showing the true capacity of grime's aural ingredients.
At their gentlest, Silk Road Assassins make the kind of 'IDM' (for want of a better acronym) that artists like Secede and The Flashbulb were putting out in the noughties: that wave of super-melodic non-dance music assumedly fashioned to counter the '90s' preoccupation with breakcore. Were it not for the occasional slapping snares and walkie-talkie static, gorgeous "Bink" would conjure an enchanted forest, all globular synths and ping-pong keys. Elsewhere, "Saint" is a trappy delight of pitch-bent subs and fidgety percussion, and "Pulling the String" lets a bunch of delays and bitcrushers consume the mix to sumptuous effect.
But the trio really make their mark when they put their foot down. "Familiars" is probably the track most likely to rip up a dancefloor: with a classic lead that practically begs you to 'put your hands in the air', it clocks in at under three minutes and over 150 bpm. Vessel is a ride, too, pitting angel voices and starry mallets against gnarly Virus-esque synths, whilst Shadow Realm feat WWWIngs - a grooveless onslaught of stabs and sibilance - is the kind of heavy that might jar with those who prefer the album's softer moments. We're also treated to the instrumental of Taste of Metal, which shines when stripped of MC K9's original a cappella.
Throughout, Silk Road Assassins plunder grime's rich sonic tropes: State of Ruin makes discerning use of gun-shot percussion, smashed glass SFX, synths that parrot sirens, Eastern scales. There's even a Metal Gear Solid sample that crops up on a number of tracks: Colonel Campbell's faithful warning that the enemy are "heavily armed I'm afraid" . It's a tiny detail that likely fell out of the producers' love of video games, but in context it brings a smidgen of mixtape aesthetics to the LP.
All of this is done with a degree of clarity and control that reflects well on the trio's working relationship. There is only one, refreshingly singular sound here: a reworking of grime's core components that is never once overcomplicated or try-hard. And State of Ruin is as successful in embracing the genre's menace as it is subverting it, revelling in the fist-pounding and neck-snapping as much as dream-like and beatless. All in all, a solid debut.

- State-of-the-art multimedia expertise
- Ability to understand and communicate our clients' products, services and competitive advantages
- A business partner's understanding of marketplace dynamics and challenges
- Adept and experienced at serving financial and professional services firms as well as growth-oriented entrepreneurial companies
project: A mid-size professional services company uses multimedia communication tools put together by FraserWalbert Media to accelerate global expansion and growth.
As this company initiated a global marketing effort, some key media elements were missing. FraserWalbert Media retooled this client's communications menu to support a major rebranding and move into new service lines and global regions. Over three years, working hand-in-hand with the client, FWM helped create a corporate magazine, podcast series, redesigned website, TV/print ad campaign, and more.
With marketplace awareness enhanced by FWM media products, client revenues more than tripled.
project: A mid-tier management consulting firm aims to out-perform larger competitors with a multifaceted media campaign devised by FraserWalbert Media
In a highly competitive consulting arena, FWM developed a new branding message and multimedia materials to empower a regional consultant to successfully transition itself to a leading international position. State-of-the-art print, online, and audio products showcase the firm's little-known success record and unique strategic approach. A sophisticated media campaign targets global business executives, private equity firms, and public stakeholders.
FWM's savvy multimedia campaign convinced a demanding global audience, enabling this firm to achieve its goal of establishing a top-tier marketplace ranking.
project: A growth-oriented financial advisory firm retains FraserWalbert Media to enhance its client publication.
As FWM recognized, this firm's growth and profitability depended upon timely, value-added communication with its customers, in order to distinguish itself in a marketplace jammed with financial institutions competing for high-end clients. FWM diagnosed problems within an existing client communication series and transitioned it into a must-read publication appropriate to the needs and interests of individual investors.
This advisory firm continues to strengthen essential client communications and solidify its position as a leading regional provider.
project: An investment management firm operating in a hedge fund market niche engages FraserWalbert Media to build a website that communicates the firm's mission and increases client connectivity.
Serving sophisticated investors who expect ready access to key investment information, this client needed a comprehensive website that would allow shareholders to view current investment positions, performance data, market commentary, and more. Password protection was required to meet SEC standards. With an eye toward creating a site that would encourage shareholder visits by efficiently presenting essential information, FWM prepared the site architecture, graphic design, password protection system, and all content describing the firm's financial strategies and operations.
The new website opens a vital communication channel to clients, strengthening relationships and bringing clients closer to the firm.

Group of Hikers Rescue Hiker who Fell Off Sam Merrill Trail
A group of early morning hikers rescued another hiker who had fallen off Sam Merrill Trail in Altadena Friday, using a tow strap from their vehicle.
The Altadena Mountain Rescue Team (AMRT) received a call at about 6 a.m. about the hiker, who had fallen about 100 feet down the steep hillside.
"The hiker was headed up the trail in the predawn darkness with a powerful flashlight when he saw a pair of eyes in front of him on the trail," the AMRT said on their Facebook page. "He immediately stopped and took just one step backwards and fell approximately 100 feet down the steep hillside.
The person who called said he was hiking down the trail with his dog when he paused to let another hiker pass. As he did so, he observed the light from the powerful flashlight suddenly disappear down off the trail.
Uninjured except for a few scratches, the victim was able to climb up but unable to continue as the last 15 feet were entirely too steep, according to the AMRT.
"Several bystanders retrieved a tow strap from their vehicle and helped the hiker the last few feet onto the trail. The hiker told us he was fine and just had a few scratches," the AMRT said.
It is believed the hiker may have seen the leashed dog's eyes, causing him to step backward and fall.
On Facebook, the AMRT posted a picture of the people who helped, one of them carrying the vehicle tow strap used in the rescue.
"A very big thank you to all the people that came together and helped out, great job!" the AMRT said.

Korean Culture Centers to Teach K Pop Courses for Foreigners
Michael Song, March 15, 2016, 7:47 a.m.
Korean cultural centers overseas will soon offer K-pop courses for foreigners, the Ministry of Culture, Sports, and Tourism said. These courses will take place under the "K-pop Academy," which aims to promote hallyu. The academies are scheduled to open at 20 Korean cultural centers in 18 countries, including China and the U.S.
The first academy opened at the Korean Cultural Center in Shanghai on Tuesday. Professors from Sejong University and Howon University will give vocal and dance lessons at the overseas cultural centers over the next eight months. Among those teaching at the K-pop Academy is Shin Yeon-ah, a former member of R&B and soul female quartet Big Mama, which disbanded in 2012. She will give vocal lessons at the Korean Cultural Center in Los Angeles.
Choi Jong-hoan, a first-generation B-boy in Korea as well as a former dance trainer in JYP Entertainment, will contribute to the dance courses. The K-pop Academy will also provide participants with the chance to watch Korean TV series and films, taste Korean food and try out the latest trends in Korean makeup and nail art.
"Overseas hallyu fans will have a chance to learn their favorite K-pop songs and dances from Korea's top-level teaching staff at the K-pop Academy," Park Young-goog, chief of the Korean Culture and Information Service affiliated with the culture ministry, said in a press release. The content of the courses will be adapted to each country.

Cinderella Ate My Daughter:
Dispatches From the Front Lines of the new Girlie-Girl Culture
Dispatches From the Front Lines of the new Girlie-Girl Culture
by. Peggy Orenstein
A look into the Pretty Pink Princess world that young girls have to grow up in. Where did it come from and what effects does it have?
I read this book on a whim of curiosity and I was pleasantly surprised. It really is quite fascinating and raises a lot of ideas that I never thought about before. However, it does have its problems. For instance the author occasionally goes into bouts of what I like to call "Feminist Bloodlust": where a feminist rage clouds a person's vision and only allows them to see ideas that fits a feminist argument. For instance she insulted Pixar for only having movies starring men, but praised Miyazaki for always making movies starring girls. She even went as far as to attack Pixar's newest movie Brave. That's right, she decided to attack a movie that isn't even out yet based on preliminary sketches and plot outlines...I mean if that isn't a prefect example of Feminist Bloodlust then I don't know what is.
But overall I found the book very interesting. It really does a great job at bringing the world that young girls are being raised in into the light and expounding on where this world came from. I never really considered where the obsession with princesses and pink came from, but I'm glad I did because it seems that it has all come from marketing. Which is quite frightening when you think about it. Marketing can ingrain ideas so deep that people just think they're natural inclinations. For instance the color pink. I've heard people say that girls are just naturally attracted to pink. But that isn't true. In fact pink used to be a boys' color. Think about that.
"Girls' attention to pink may seem unavoidable, somehow encoded in their DNA, but according to Jo Paoletti, an associate professor of American studies at the University of Maryland, it's not. Children weren't color-coded at all until the early twentieth century: in the era before Maytag, all babies wore white as a practical matter, since the only way of getting clothes clean was to boil them. What's more, both boys and girls wore what were thought of as gender-neutral dresses. When nursery colors were introduced, pink was actually considered the more masculine hue, a pastel version of red, which was associated with strength. Blue, with its intimations of the Virgin Mary, constancy, and faithfulness, symbolized femininity. (That may explain a portrait that has always befuddled me, of my father as an infant in 1926 wearing a pink dress.) Why or when that switched is not clear, but as late as the 1930s, in a poll of its customers conducted by the New York City department store Lord & Taylor, a solid quarter of adults still held to that split. I doubt anyone would get it "wrong" today. Perhaps that is why so many early Disney heroines—Cinderella, Sleeping Beauty, Wendy, Alice in Wonderland, Mary Poppin's Jane Banks—were dressed in various shades of azure. (When the company introduced the Princess line, it deliberately changed Sleeping Beauty's gown to pink, supposedly to distinguish her from Cinderella.) It was not until the mid-1980s, when amplifying age and sex differences became a dominant children's marketing strategy, that pink fully came into its own, when it began to seem innately attractive to girls, part of what defined them as female, at least for the first few critical years."
The Night Eternal
by. Guillermo del Toro & Chuck Hogan
The last book of The Strain Trilogy.
I've mentioned the other books of this trilogy in past lists. And as it is the third book I can't really tell you anything about it specifically without ruining important plot elements. But I can now speak of the trilogy in general and tell you that it is a great trilogy. It works with the idea of vampires in a way I've never seen done before. It creates a look and feel to them that is unique and fascinating; taking the familiar ideas we've seen a million times before and reworking them into something new and interesting.
If you recall I said that the main problem with The Hunger Games was that the author couldn't write a fight scene to save her live. Well she should ask Chuck Hogan and Guillermo del Toro for some tips. This duo is able to create not only create truly memorable visuals, but also plenty of intense battles.
"Snorting, huffing, the beasts came back, leaving behind the poised erect stance and landing on all fours, ready to circle their prey. Eph did not give the vampires a chance to flank him. He rushed straight at the male first, both swords at the ready. The vamp leaped away from him at the last moment—they were agile and fast—but not before Eph's sword tip caught it across the side of its torso. The slash was deep enough to make the vampire land off-balance, the wound was leaking white blood. Strigoi rarely felt any bodily pain, but they felt it when the weapon was silver. The creature twisted and gripped its side.
In that moment of hesitation and inattention, Eph spun and brought his other sword across at shoulder height. One slice removed the head from the neck and shoulders, severing it just beneath the jaw. The vampire's arms went up in a reflex of self-protection before its trunk and limbs collapsed.
Eph turned again just as the female was in the air. It had vaulted the counter, springing at him with its twin taloned middle fingers poised to cut at his face—but Eph was just able to deflect its arms with his own as the vampire flew past, landing hard against the wall, slumping to the floor. Eph lost both his swords in the process. His hands were so weak. Oh, yes, yes, please—I want to give up.
The strigoi quickly sprang onto all fours, facing Eph from a crouch. Its eyes bore into him, surrogates of the Master, the evil presence that had taken everything from him. Eph's rage flared anew. He swiftly produced his grappling hooks and braced for impact. The vampire charged and Eph went for it—the vampire wattle dangling beneath its chin made for a perfect target. He had done this move hundreds of times—like a worker in a fish factory scaling a big tuna. One hook connected with the throat behind the wattle, sinking quickly and jamming behind the cartilaginous tube that housed the larynx and launched the stinger. Pulling down on it—hard—he blocked the stinger and forced the creature to genuflect with a pig-like squeal. The other hook connected to the eye socket, and Eph's thumb jammed under the jaw, locking the mouth shut. One summer, a long, long time ago, his father had shown him that move when catching snakes on a small river up north. Clamp the jaw," he had said, "lock the mouth—so they can't bite." Not many snakes were poisonous but a lot of them had a nasty bite and enough bacteria in their mouth to cause a lot of pain. Turned out that Eph—city boy Eph—was good at catching snakes. A natural. He had been able to show off one good day, catching a snake in the driveway at home when Zack was still a child. He felt superior—a hero. But that was a long time ago. A zillion years BC.
I Found This Funny:
My Favorite Pieces of Humor
and some that may not be funny at all
My Favorite Pieces of Humor
and some that may not be funny at all
edited by. Judd Apatow
A collection of essays that were selected and arranged by Judd Apatow.
Oh, collections. They are always a mixed bag aren't they? I was looking for a collection of humorous writing, but a fair amount of stuff in this book isn't really funny at all. I realize that this is mentioned in the title, but I didn't realize the extent to which they were talking about. Overall it wasn't really my kind of thing, but I must admit that there are a couple great gems in there. If nothing else Conan O'Brien & Robert Smigel's Lookwell pilot, Tony Hoagland's poems, David Sedaris' essay "Go Carolina", and the selected shorts from Simon Rich made it worth my time.
Actually, if you happen to see this in a book store I would recommend picking it up to read the Simon Rich ones. They are short enough that you can read them real quick and they are hilarious.
"I don't remember how I learned to read. Who taught me to read? Was it my mother? We always had a lot of books around. Dr. Seuss, Curious George. That book about the strange animal with the spots he could take off and juggle. Lately I have been teaching my seven-year-old daughter how to read and it is hard. Someone must have put some serious hours in with me. I wish I remembered any of those moments. It must have been my mom and not some faceless Montessori teacher. I'll go with Mom. For some reason I think I picked it up really fast because if it was a long difficult road I feel like I would remember that.
I say that because my adult reading life has not been a long easy road. It took a long time before I got excited about literature and reading in general...
...This book contains my recommendations. It mainly focuses on what I am most interested in—humor. But several of the pieces are not at all funny, but I could not resist putting them in because they mean so much to me.
I made a point of including writing from all disciplines—short stories, poetry, essays, humor writing, journalism, memoir, cartoons, sketches, and even television pilots. I think it's the ultimate airplane book, bathroom book, or what one reads while waiting for a friend to come out of an appointment that you have no interest in."

Regex: Regularly Exploitable
Here's a quick demonstration of why Regular Expressions (regex) can be bad for implementing character whitelisting.
I was reading through an application security assessment report recently and noticed a recommendation for preventing Operating System Command Injection (OSCI) that implemented character whitelisting on a given filename through the following regex:
At first glance, the regex seems legit, right? It attempts to match any combination of letters, numbers, dashes, underscores, slashes, and whitespace, ending with the ".rpt" extension. Already knowing that there was a flaw here (we'll get to that in a moment), I put together the following proof-of-concept to demonstrate the security (or _in_security) of the filter:
$file_name = $_GET["path"];
if(!preg_match("/^[\/a-zA-Z0-9\-\s_]+\.rpt$/m", $file_name)) {
echo "regex failed";
} else {
echo exec("/usr/bin/file -i -b " . $file_name);
I tried all the typical attack payloads, and sure enough, the regex prevented injection into the shell command. The key here—and why one must always use caution when implementing regex filters—is understanding what the
\s character class represents. Most resources are vague and say that it includes "any whitespace character," but what does that include? In most regex implementations, whitespace includes
[\t\r\n\f], i.e. spaces, tabs, line breaks, and form feeds. See the problem yet?
Many testers don't think about the impact of line breaks when dealing with injections, but when we're dealing with a shell, line breaks become very important. Consider the following attack payload:
%0a is a URL encoded line feed/break (whitespace), so according to the regex, this payload is safe. However, what happens when you put this into a shell? Below is the output from copying and pasting the decoded version of the above payload into a terminal prompt:
# /usr/bin/file -i -b /path/to/file
ERROR: cannot open `/path/to/file' (No such file or directory)
# id
uid=0(root) gid=0(root) groups=0(root)
# .rpt
bash: .rpt: command not found
Do you see what happened? Each line break started a new command and we can see that the shell executed our arbitrary
id command. Here's what it looks like through a web interface:
So let's fix this. Show of hands for how many people think the below regex solves the injection issue? (I replaced the
\s with a space ``.)
/^[\/a-zA-Z0-9\- _]+\.rpt$/m
If we use the same payloads as before, including the one that resulted in a successful injection, we can see that the issue has been resolved:
Or has it? Consider the following attack payload:
What just happened?! Let's look at the new regex again:
/^[\/a-zA-Z0-9\- _]+\.rpt$/m
See that
m at the end of the regex pattern? It means something. At the end of the regex pattern declaration in PHP (available in other frameworks as well, but may be declared differently), there is a spot for modifiers. Regex modifiers change how the regex engine applies the pattern to the string. Discussing the different regex modifiers is outside the scope of this article, but what we want to focus on here is that the filter pattern is using the multiline modifier (
m is the flag for multiline). The multiline modifier basically changes the way the beginning (
^) and end (
$) of line characters behave. When the multiline modifier is absent, the
^ and
$ characters act as the beginning and end of the string , as opposed to the line. This is an important distinction, because in the payload, we are able to leverage the multiline modifier's effect on the
$ character and a line break to create a match. We can then add anything we want to the end of the string to execute arbitrary commands within the shell.
There are a couple takeaways here.
First, be mindful of how you build whitelists. Be as explicit as possible. The higher the level of whitelist, the better. For instance, in the above example, the optimal solution would be to build a whitelist of complete filenames that are allowed and to ignore regex altogether. If the filenames were not known and we needed to whitelist at the character level, then we would need to build a better regex that accounts for what is included in all allowed character classes within the context of the filter, e.g.
%0a and its significance to shell commands and the multiline modifier.
Second, Burp was not able to find this vulnerability when the scanner speed was set to
Normal (default). It wasn't until I set the scanner speed to
Thorough and hard-coded the ".rpt" extension into the payload that Burp was able to find it. There is no replacement for thorough manual testing by someone who knows what they're doing.
A shout out to John Poulin, who taught me a thing or two about exploiting regex that ultimately led to this article. Thanks, John.

Fitch: Re/insurer Earnings To Fall On Fire Losses
The ongoing California wildfires are expected to become one of the costliest wildfire catastrophe-insured loss events ever for the property/casualty insurance industry, and losses will likely negatively impact fourth-quarter earnings of companies with material property exposure in the state, Fitch Ratings said.
"However, while insured losses are certain to be significant, they are expected to remain within the level of losses that the insurance industry anticipates when pricing catastrophe risk into premiums. Furthermore, the insurance companies affected by the wildfires are generally the larger, national carriers that, as a group, have large capital bases and high insurer financial strength ratings," Fitch said.
"Fitch does not expect a major deterioration in financial strength if these companies incur losses roughly in proportion to their market shares. Also, given the high catastrophe-prone risk and generally higher value of homes in these areas, a sizable portion of the coverage is provided by the Excess and Surplus market, and may work to shift losses away from traditional large admitted insurers.
"The Camp Fire is already the most destructive fire in the history of California, with almost 12,000 structures destroyed as of Nov. 19, according to Cal Fire. At the same time, the Woolsey Fire, which is nearly contained in Southern California, is in an area with significant residential property values.
"According to an analysis by CoreLogic, Inc., over 48,000 homes, with a total reconstruction cost of more than $18 billion, were at 'high' or 'extreme' risk of wildfire damage from the Camp and Woolsey Fires. Catastrophe risk modeler Risk Management Solutions [RMS] noted that insured losses from the Camp and Woolsey fires could reach between $9 billion and $13 billion.
"The fires reflect a second consecutive year of major wildfire losses in California as the industry incurred $11.5 billion of insured losses in 2017, according to Munich Re. The state also experienced wildfires in July of 2018 that generated $845 million of direct-insured losses.
"We estimate that each $1 billion of insured loss adds about 17 bps to the industry's 2018 loss ratio based on Fitch's almost $600 billion 2018 net earned premium forecast. Each $1 billion of homeowner insured loss adds about 120 bps to the industry's homeowner 2018 loss ratio. The U.S. industry all lines loss ratio and homeowners' loss ratio in 2017 were approximately 76% and 79%, respectively.
"Losses are anticipated to be borne largely by primary insurers. Exposure to the reinsurance industry will most likely transpire through aggregate catastrophe treaties in which the current wildfires add losses from primary cedants that have reported losses from other catastrophe events throughout the year.
"The insurance lines of business most affected by this catastrophe are personal lines, particularly homeowners, but also automobile. Commercial property and business interruption claims could also be significant."

**and how it turned into 3.
About 4 seconds after arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, I knew I had to get out. Not that it's a bad city or anything, I've just come to realize that I hate cities. They are so crowded, expensive, and really g-d hot. So, I headed down south to Ben Tre, the homeland of the coconut (says anyone you ask in Vietnam).
Ben Tre is a bit unknown on the tourist trail. If tourists visit any town in the Mekong Delta, it's usually Can Tho. But I met this fabulous lady:
who said Ben Tre is where it's at. A few hours later, I was on my way. Oh, that lady above is Van. She let me crash with her and her family in Ben Tre. I will gush and fawn over these people in just a bit. So anyway, Van and fam live above the shop that they own, selling various pieces of shrine-ery. Buddhas, incense, prayer beads, etc. It's delightfully small and every last corner of her house is filled with the shop's over flow.
So, on my arrival, I was introduced to Van's mother and father, who wasted no time making me feel at home. Within minutes, I had a glass of water, a pair of slippers, and a request to be home in thirty minutes for a home-made lunch.
Before lunch, Van and I had a conversation that went something like this:
Van: Do you enjoy all food?
Me: Heck ye.
Van: Pork?
Me: Not mutton! Yes!
Van: Vegetables?
Me: Not mutton! Yes!
Van: Shrimp?
Me: Not mutton! Yes!
Van: Dog?
Me: Not mu... WHAT??
Yes, friends and family, I am in a place where some people (not all, in fact not many) enjoy the fine delicacy of DOG.
|Our chef and a delicious dog-free meal.
Words cannot describe this meal. The best I can do is to tell you to come to Vietnam, to Ben Tre, stay with this family. We had soup, pork, vegetables and a shrimp stir-fry in COCONUT. They cook EVERYTHING in coconut! Good GOD it's amazing. After this meal, the family told me they wouldn't make it again to ensure I would return to Ben Tre someday. Well played.
Later, Van took me out for a tour (and to find me a bicycle) of Ben Tre. She showed me the "downtown-y" area, as well as where I could take my bike into the countryside the next day.
|"Smashed Bananas" - aptly named. Then you grill 'em and dip 'em in coconut sauce!
|And we got our nails did. This cost me just over 1 dollar. After a half hour of work, I felt like I robbed the lady.
|Night Market. They sold avocados AS BIG AS MY HEAD. This place is a paradise.
|A wee-bit treacherous, eh?
|My work-out crew
[Sidenote: I thought I was tall in Mongolia... I'm a MONSTER here]
Anyway, onto the next activity where she pulled out A SWORD!
|Then, we did a little dance like thing while holding a sword.
Then it got insufferably hot and I went home and passed out here:
|I ::heart:: hammocks
|She is standing! I am sitting!
On a sidenote- Ben Tre was also cheap. Like, real cheap. Over the course of three days, including transportation there and food (and I ate A LOT) and drinks, I spent a grand total of $22. Hoo boy, I want to go back.
Oh crap, the market! I totally went to the market to where they sell fish! and shrimp! and crab! and squid! and eel! and snake! and frog! and bird! and duck! and just about anything you could ever want. Oh, and it's all still alive, too.

The session was held in New York City's famed "Korea Town" district at a quaint karaoke bar named Maru. The elevator to the building was broken, so a hike up several flights of stairs was the only strenuous part of the evening, as the dimly red light venue was hugged by the smooth sounds of Abel Tesfaye upon entry. The Weeknd was not present (only adding to his mystique), and media guests were ushered into private pods with just a few other guests. Large plates of food were provided in addition to shots of Shōchū (Alcohol). On the screens were muted videos that showed everything from K-Pop performances to Korean martial arts films. As for the album, well, there are some treats on there.
The first half of the project is dense, opening with the cerebral "Professional" and carrying into a slew of dynamically electronic compositions that use The Weeknd's voice as more of a flexible instrument and less of a beautiful accessory like his most recent works. Leaks like "Love In the Sky," "Belong To The World," and yesterday's surprise of "Live For" with OVOXO partner Drake set the stage for the second half of the 10-track (with two bonus cuts) project. Things get exciting with the second half, as "Wanderlust" is full of life with elements of electro-funk, house, and sturdy hand claps, leading into the sexy title track. The Weeknd flexes his vocals on "Pretty," proving that his chops have grown since we first heard him on his debut, 2011's "House Of Balloons." The project closes with "Tears In the Rain," a track that keeps The Weeknd's sentiment in tact for crafting hymns about heartache, heartbreak, and body ache (from either chemicals, the fame, or love).
The esoteric half of The Weeknd's fan base will crave the first half of "Kiss Land." However, those who have welcomed him into pop's periphery will have a much better time with the second half of the work. It isn't safe to say the album is for "everyone," though anyone can appreciate the growth in The Weeknd's voice and his maintenance of his daring to be different mantra. Check out the official tracklist below, and "Kiss Land" arrives September 10th.

The other night at work (the Crisis Stabilization Unit) a client awoke from a bad dream. It was extremely windy with rain and snow. The wind was audible. Whistling and moaning through the old building. It was unnerving, as if someone was with you. well, in this building that is almost always the case, some unseen energy (most likely ghosts, trauma energy left behind) roaming the halls. However the wind made the evening even more eerie and unsettling. To make it worse, the building lights would flicker on and off to the soundtrack of howling wind.
Unfortunately, one of the patient couldn't sleep. She had a bad dream. She felt like the building was haunted. Which it is. Even though, I cant tell her that. She felt like she was being watched. None of this helped the voices in her head. This made the voices louder and she struggled to stay grounded in reality.
Now, had I been in my practice. I would have explored her experience with the voices and the feeling of ghosts. This is rich stuff. Treasure is berried here. Metaphorically and energetically. I would explore the ghosts with her.
Is it ghosts? Memories? Ancestors? Energy? Pain? Trauma? A haunting? Imagination? Emotions? An emotional wound? Past life? A mix?
In practice outside of the CSU (Crisis Stabilization Unit) I would have shared with her ways to clear herself and her space with words, crystals, herbs, smoke, sound, water and sprays. Ways to claim to herself and her space. Intentions to set. Reiki to clear and remove any energetic obstacles. We would do a visualization to help keep her space clear, uplifted and safe. And then we would see how she felt the next day. To see how she felt. What we cleared up. What still needs to be addressed.
Not here it's a manifestation of her mental illness. It's the voices. Even when i know part of it is ghosts.
And when she says she can't sleep because of the energy of the room. It's psychosis. It's not the ghosts or the energy.
Where does the trauma, wounds and hurt bleed into reality, leaking from our bodies, creating physical and mental symptoms? Where is the line between spiritual and mental illness? The two play wicked games together, feeding and fueling each other.
Treating both heals the soul.

Bishop's Writings
We will overcome evil with goodMonday, March 6, 2017
Hate is hate and cannot be interpreted as anything but a violation of the God-given dignity each of person has. This is regardless of what we are blessed with as embodiments of a confluence of identities. We are grieved by several thoughts and acts of hate in recent days punctuated by the killing of South Asian engineer in Kansas City, and the desecration of Jewish cemeteries across the country — including one in Rochester.Read more »

Where trumpets rang and men marched by, none passes but the dragonfly" - Mary Webb
Click on picture for a brief overview
Shropshire, maybe one of England's quiet counties but don't be deceived; there's still plenty to see and do. Shropshire has over 90 places to visit - historic houses and castles with beautiful gardens, the famous Ironbridge, museums and family attractions.
Shropshire has many traditional market towns including gourmet Ludlow and the county town of Shrewsbury. Shrewsbury almost surrounded by the River Severn and birthplace of Charles Darwin, is a medieval delight of black and white buildings.
Unspoilt, unrushed and tranquil.
The Shropshire landscape reflects the fact that Shropshire is geologically unique and creates the special habitats that ensures that Shropshire wildlife is so diverse. All this adds up to making Shropshire great walking country.
So whether you're out and about on Shropshire Hills, by the Meres and Mosses or strolling along with the Shropshire Union and Llangollen Canals you can guarantee the Shropshire air will rejuvenate and restore you.

O'Neill, Joseph. THE DOG. New York City, NY: Pantheon Books, 2014. Hardcover. First Edition/First Printing. 245 pages. As New/As New.
The author's fourth novel. One of the most important literary events of our time. The First Hardcover Edition. Precedes and should not be confused with all other subsequent editions, particularly copies that are signed on a tipped-in page. Published in a small and limited first print run as a hardcover original only. Presents Joseph O'Neill's "The Dog". "A stunningly different new novel: A tale of alienation and heartbreak in Dubai. Distraught by a breakup with his long-term girlfriend, our unnamed hero leaves New York to take an unusual job in a strange desert metropolis. In Dubai at the height of its self-invention as a futuristic Shangri-la, he struggles with his new position as the 'family officer' of the capricious and very rich Batros family. And he struggles, even more helplessly, with the 'doghouse', a seemingly inescapable condition of culpability in which he feels himself constantly trapped even if he's just going to the bathroom or reading e-mail or scuba diving. A comic and philosophically profound exploration of what has become of humankind's moral progress, 'The Dog' is told with Joseph O'Neill's hallmark eloquence, empathy, and storytelling mastery" (Publisher's blurb). An absolute "must-have" title for Joseph O'Neill collectors. This copy is very prominently and beautifully signed, placed, and dated (in the month and year of publication) in black ink-pen on the title page by the author: "Joseph O'Neill Brooklyn, 9/21/2014". It is signed directly on the page itself, not on a tipped-in page, as most copies available online are. He also crossed out his printed name. The signature on this copy is, quite simply, the most beautiful we have ever seen: Clear, flowing, and elegant. Laid-in is a pristine copy of the Souvenir Bookmark of the Brooklyn Book Festival during which his signature was obtained. This title will become a contemporary classic. As far as we know, this is the only such signed, placed, and dated copy of the First Hardcover Edition/First Printing available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright, a pristine beauty. A rare signed copy thus. Winner of the PEN/Faulkner Award in 2008 for "Netherland". One of the most brilliant living writers. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO OTHER COPY OF THIS TITLE IN OUR CATALOG). ISBN 0307378233. $100.00
