When he moved to Portland, Thomas Lauderdale had every intention of running the place.
"I wanted to be mayor," he said in a recent phone interview. "That was my plan. If I felt like I was electable, I would probably run, but I think I've done too many drugs and been in too many compromising positions."
As the leader of Pink Martini, Portland's multilingual, everything-old-is-new-again "little orchestra," though, Lauderdale has found his place in town.
Though the band of about a dozen performers spends much of its time playing anywhere and everywhere — including Olympia on Wednesday and Tacoma on Jan. 15 — Pink Martini has a special place in the hearts and ears of its hometown, playing at such events as the city's tree lighting and even a naturalization ceremony.
One might even call Lauderdale Portland's mayor of music.
"That's right," he agreed. "The mayor who gets the applause. Let's just keep it at that, and don't ask, don't tell."
Now is really the time to be present and constant and truly committed to being decent and kind and empathetic. We need the grace and beauty.
Thomas Lauderdale, leader of Pink Martini
Lauderdale is passionate about politics: Pink Martini's first performance was at a 1994 concert aimed at helping to defeat Measure 13, which would have made homosexuality illegal in Oregon.
He intended the performance to be a one-time event, but the band soon began performing at concerts for other progressive causes.
It still does.
"There are all kinds of battles to be fought," Lauderdale said.
But raising funds for and awareness about political candidates, environmental concerns and music education is now sandwiched between tours that have taken the band to at least five of the world's seven continents and engagements with symphony orchestras from the Boston Pops to the London Philharmonic.
The music, though, is strictly nonpartisan. It has global influences and unexpected juxtapositions, but the key aesthetic is as smooth, sweet and old-fashioned as, well, a pink martini. It's witty and smart, but it goes down easily.
The band is known for versions of classic songs translated into a host of languages and for originals that sound like they could have been classics, perhaps in some just very slightly altered universe.
The results are eclectic to the max. The band's 2013's "Get Happy" is "a mélange of lounge music, jazz standards, Latin dance music and even a Scott Joplin rag that dates back to 1907," Jester Jay Goldman wrote in a review for Spectrum Culture.
And referring to the album's two singers and numerous guest artists — including Phyllis Diller, Rufus Wainwright and "All Things Considered's" Ari Shapiro — Goldman came up with a line that captures Pink Martini well: "Nothing exceeds like excess."
Think of a fashion designer who layers on the details for maximum impact or a chef whose creations are arranged into towers that look too pretty to eat.
If the execution is complex, Pink Martini's aim is simply sweet.
"Now is really the time to be present and constant and truly committed to being decent and kind and empathetic," Lauderdale said. "We need the grace and beauty.
"That's the haughty goal for 2016."
And that's been his goal for some time. In a 2005 interview, Lauderdale lamented the lack of kindness and grace in popular culture since the '60s.
"Our goal," he said then, "is to create beautiful things that are going to last."
And he appreciates nothing more than beautiful things from the past.
"I don't listen to a lot of stuff being made today," Lauderdale said. Last month, he was spending time with holiday albums by The Carpenters, Rosemary Clooney and Dean Martin, along with Vince Guaraldi Trio's "A Charlie Brown Christmas" and the original tunes from "How the Grinch Stole Christmas."
He has a soft spot for "The Sound of Music." Pink Martini's most recent album, 2014's "Dream a Little Dream," was recorded with The von Trapps, and the last time the group swung through South Sound, the great-grandchildren of Georg von Trapp came along.
This time, the little orchestra will be on its own, though it's known for its collaborations with performers from Carol Channing and Wayne Newton to The Chieftains and legendary Japanese singer Saori Yuki.
Among those he'd like to bring into the Pink Martini mix are Greek singer Nana Mouskouri, Brazilian icon Chico Buarque, Johnny Mathis — and on a completely different note, the Mormon Tabernacle Choir.
"Then there's always Doris Day," he said. "That seems like an impossible dream."

LANG SON — Rampant and illegal gold exploration along rivers in the northern province of Lang Son has altered the flow of rivers and led to landslides.
A Viet Nam News Agency reporter said about 50 floating dredges were hunting for the precious mineral on three rivers running through Binh Gia, Huu Lung and Loc Binh.
Nguyen Huu Chien, a representative of the provincial people's committee, said local leaders were determined to put an end to the practice.
He said district heads who failed to act would be fined by the committee.
Despite efforts to control the mining, exploiters often operate at nights to escape attention.
If they decide to work during daylight hours, workers are sent up and down river to keep watch and phone if, and when, inspection vessels are coming.
Random checks reveal that most of the dredges do not have licences or if they do, they are just for sand exploitation.
Ten dredges have so far been fined between VND20-30 million (US$950-1,400).
However, many believe the fines are not heavy enough to stop the operations. Miners often spend up to $20,000-$50,000 for a vessel.
Dredge owners can earn up to VND10 million ($500) a day. — VNS

Nebraska football mailbag: With National Signing Day over, what's next for Huskers?
Have Nebraska football questions? We've got answers. Join us every Wednesday for the Land of 10 Nebraska mailbag to talk all things Huskers. This week, we discuss the 2019 recruiting class, Nebraska's 2018 walk-on class and more.
How many commit do we have in the 2019 class ? Are they any recruits from out of state beside in state prospect ?
— cedrick ceballos (@cedestas) February 7, 2018
Nebraska currently has two players committed in the 2019 recruiting class. Those two are 3-star outside linebacker Garrett Nelson from Scottsbluff, Neb., and 3-star athlete Garrett Snodgrass from York, Neb. As you noted, both are in-state prospects.
While both committed players are from Nebraska, the Huskers have 151 offers out to recruits in the 2019 class. Those recruits come from all over, including Texas, Florida and California. As for getting those out-of-state prospects to commit, coach Scott Frost said it best on Signing Day: visits to Lincoln and the campus are key.
"You know what we have to talk about: kids in Florida, Texas and other places on what their perception of Lincoln, Neb., is," Frost said. "I think the perception out there is this is a football stadium in the middle of a cornfield and it's always cold. I can't tell you how many kids when I met with them on Sunday after their official visits told me this is nothing like they thought it was going to be like. So it's going to be important for us to get kids to campus."
Once recruits start visiting Lincoln, Frost and his staff will be able to show them what Nebraska is all about. Add in the sold-out spring game, and the Huskers are in a perfect position to gain some momentum with the 2019 recruiting class in the next couple of months.
Can you breakdown the walk on class?
— Scott daiss (@Sdaiss9495) February 7, 2018
Yes, I can. Thank you for asking.
Nebraska added an impressive group of walk-on commits to its 2018 recruiting class. You can see the full list here. The class is large one, and probably a little larger than most walk-on classes typically would be. Frost addressed that on Wednesday, saying a larger walk-on class was important in the short term.
"I think we wanted to introduce more this year to get the ball rolling," Frost said. "We want to make sure we have the right guys in the program, the right walk-ons in the program and guys that we feel like can eventually be on the field and help this football team. That's what has happened at Nebraska in the past, and I want that to happen again."
Looking through the list, you have players such as linebacker Anthony Banderas of Southwest High School in Lincoln. He is the younger brother of former Nebraska linebacker Josh Banderas. You also have quarterback Matt Masker of Kearney (Neb.) Catholic, who decided to walk-on at Nebraska over offers from South Dakota State and some FCS programs. Ryan Schommer, an outside linebacker from Norfolk (Neb.) High School, was also a big get for Nebraska. He had always dreamed of playing for the Huskers. And those are obviously only a few of many on the list.
My big takeaway from this 2018 walk-on class after speaking with many of them is that they sincerely believe in what Frost wants to build at Nebraska. Many decided to stay in-state, pay their own way and work for a scholarship over other potential offers elsewhere. That says something. I think you'll find quite a few of these walk-on commits on scholarship down the road and contributing in key positions for Nebraska.
Does Nebraska have enough skill positions player to run Scott Frost's offense?
— Rob & Lori Files (@rflf092303) February 7, 2018
Frost saw some glaring holes in the roster when he arrived in December, and those were primarily at defensive back and receiver. And on Signing Day, he made it clear that he was going to recruit the best players he could whether they were at skill positions or not.
"When you're taking over a 4-8 team, there's a lot of needs," Frost said. "We didn't want to focus on one position with the short amount of time we had. We just wanted to take the best players. So there might be one or two positions when we took more than we wanted and a couple positions where we would have liked another guy to fill out a roster spot, but in general we feel good about every player we got. There were some glaring needs. We needed a young quarterback. Our depth and the numbers at receivers and defensive back were nowhere near the number that we'd like to carry. So we definitely needed to get some guys in the defensive backfield and out wide on offense.
"We got the guys we wanted for the most part at those positions and feel great about what we got. Going forward, we'll be able to balance the roster and fix the positions we'd like to have, but this year with the short amount of time, it was about getting the best players we could get."
With that said, Nebraska added 4 wide receivers in the 2018 recruiting class. You could even add a fifth in athlete Miles Jones, as he's expected to be utilized at both running back and wide receiver. The Huskers also have two running backs (and a third, again dependent on Jones) and a slew of other skill athletes.
I'm sure Frost doesn't feel the roster is perfect yet. There's work that has yet to be done, but this was a step in the right direction for stocking a roster with skill players to fit Frost's system.
Will the Huskers land a NCAA tourney bid?
— Aaron Drury (@AaronEADrury) February 7, 2018
If the Huskers keep winning, there's a chance of being selected for the NCAA Tournament. It also doesn't hurt that when teams Nebraska has played (win or lose) improve their own RPI. For example, despite Nebraska losing to St. John's, the Red Storm have jumped up 30 spots in the RPI and is now considered a "Tier 1" game for the Huskers. Those changes help a lot.
It's not a done deal either way for Nebraska, but the Huskers only can control their own fate at this point. For now, keep winning and the odds of landing a tournament bid will continue to increase.
Will you switch allegiances from Chipotle to Torchys???….

- Intake Interview: overview of the program, and assessment of your skills and interests to select potential volunteer matches.
- Once the PIC is received back from the RCMP, then the second appointment is booked to complete the volunteer placement process.
A Volunteer Log Form is available to track hours and activities for educational, employment, or community requirements.
Focus Program
To link or integrate mental health consumers with community organizations in a way that promotes their involvement and enhances community awareness about various mental health issues.
We would like to thank Interior Health for their support in our twelfth year of providing this program.
For Volunteers:
The FOCUS Program assists adults 19 and over who are challenged by mental health concerns to find suitable volunteer placements. Conditions may include depression, anxieties, or any other mental health condition.
In addition, the Therapeutic Volunteer Program is a specialized program for those diagnosed with a mental illness and meeting the admission guidelines of the program. It is a long-term program and has limited intake numbers each year.
Anyone is welcome to make an appointment, either directly or through a professional referral, to find out how the program works and what opportunities are available. Our contact information is in the "About us" tab.
The FOCUS Coordinator has extensive contacts with organizations in the community which offer opportunities for personal growth and development through volunteering. Skills development might include team-building, clerical, computer, communication, and interpersonal relationships. Each volunteer creates an action plan that can include career planning, which involves seeking volunteer opportunities that could build skills and lead into future employment in the community.

Stu Grimson, who accumulated more than 2,000 penalty minutes during his WHL and NHL career between 1982 and 2002, found strength in the Christian faith during his years as a well-respected enforcer.
He visited Swift Current last weekend to attend the Broncos game against the Regina Pats on Feb. 11 as a guest of the Broncos Chaplaincy Program. The following morning he also met with the team.
"For me it was a tremendous transformation in my life," he said about his faith. "I don't know if I could have gone on to play a substantial career in professional hockey were it not for that important kind of spiritual reconnection for me."
Grimson, who spoke to the Prairie Post after the Broncos game, said he enjoys the opportunity to visit and speak to teams about the importance of faith.
"My experience has always been very positive any time I've done this," he said.
His message during such visits is simply one of finding freedom in faith.
"I tell them there's a great deal of peace and a great deal of liberty in being able to come to a place in your live where you realize there is a creator," he said. "He is responsible for the consequences of your life and when you place your faith in Him there's great freedom in that."
He studied law after retiring from hockey and is currently practising with a law firm in Nashville. He has been a member of the board of directors and a player advisory board member for Hockey Ministries International since 1998.
Grimson never felt his role as an on-ice tough guy was a contradiction of his faith.
To him, it was just a physical element of the sport, but he also had no problem to view it as part of what a Christian can be.
"I always felt why can't it be a Christian in the role of protector, in the role of watching out for the smaller people, making it easier for the smaller, more skilled players to play," he said. "I think a Christian can play that role. I never had any problem with that."
According to a quote that has been attributed to him, he said "Jesus was no wimp" during an interview.
Grimson laughed when asked about what he meant with that.
"I've seen that too and I don't know if I ever said that," he noted. "But I think the point is that Christ, when he saw things were out of order, was very quick to speak or to act in that situation."
He referred to the example of Jesus' actions in the temple, where He used a whip to drive the money changers away.
"There are elements of the role of an enforcer, where you have to act, where you have to be very deliberate," he said. "I suppose if I said that, that was the point I was trying to make."
The sudden death of three NHL enforcers — Derek Boogaard, Rick Rypien and Wade Belak — in the summer of 2011 resulted in a lot of discussion about the role of that position in the game.
Grimson said some statements about links between being an enforcer and cases of drug abuse and depression were unfair.
"We all, whether we're lawyers, doctors, hockey enforcers or starting pitchers in the major leagues of baseball, have these pressures, the anxieties in our lives that we have to cope with," he said. "I don't accept that the role of enforcer was the reason in each of these cases that their lives ended tragically and terribly early."
There has been calls to eliminate the role of enforcer from the game as part of an effort to improve safety and reduce injuries, but Grimson disagrees. He supports efforts to reduce blows to the head of an unsuspecting player, but he considers the role of an enforcer to be one of the measures to eliminate concussions.
The first two measures are the presence of a referee on the ice and supplementary discipline through a suspension. He referred to the role of an enforcer as the third way to have accountability on the ice.
"The enforcer is one tool in a basket of few where I think it helps you to crack down on this area," he said. "I think if you took it away you might find that some of these deliberate blows to the head might increase in frequency."
He considered statements made last October by Don Cherry about former hockey enforcers to be in the past. He had no personal contact with Cherry since that incident, but he knows what he will do if they ever meet somewhere.
"I would shake his hand and I would probably, if he was interested, speak my peace again," he said. "But I would tell him in person that I accept his apology."

This piece was originally posted on The Huffington Post. Read the original version HERE.
We love to think of "creativity" as something that's reserved for the arts industries, crafters who spend most of their time on the weekends at Michael's, and our children. Finger painting! How creative!
But creativity runs deeper than that, and one could argue that it actually is the backbone of our success in the workplace as adults. Sure, typing up a memo for the office might not feel very creative – but if your memo is interesting, well-written, concise… that takes creativity, my friend, whether you want to admit it or not.
To me, there are two pieces of creativity: the dreaming up of the idea in the first place, and the energy/enthusiasm with which is it executed. I can sit here and throw out one hundred ideas for television shows ("A man who gets hit by a bus and realizes that he's been dead for 20 years and nobody even noticed…" "A woman who lives in a field in Norway and raises killer bees to be her own personal military…" etc.) or other creative endeavors.
But the passion to carry out those ideas? You know you've got the creative spark when you actually feel as though you could go forth and bring those ideas into reality.
Which brings me to my point. Sometimes, it's really freaking hard to feel creative. Sometimes you sit at the computer and stare at it hatefully because ideas will not flow and that "well of creativity" is a dried up, pruney vacuum that makes you want to scream.
Here's how to multiply your creativity – for free!
Make Sleep a Priority
I know. Everyone was really hoping this wasn't going to be an article about getting enough sleep, but zzzzzz! It is.
When you sleep enough, you wake up rested, energized and happier. Sitting down at your computer the next day suddenly doesn't feel so daunting – especially because, often, you had a really interesting dream the night before that got you thinking about the nature of life and death and Donald Trump (okay, maybe it was a nightmare, which can be equally creative).
Not only sleeping at night, but setting aside time for naps during the day can be a really rejuvenating way to induce creative thinking. Stuck on that project that you have to turn in by the end of the day tomorrow? Lie down for an hour and see what happens when you wake up again. Chances are, a brilliant insight will pop into your head at some point during the afternoon.
At the very least, you'll have renewed energy to keep going.
Why It Matters So Dang Much
As a writer and entrepreneur, I have come to realize that one of my chief assets is a capacity for creativity. It's the same for you, whatever line of work you're involved in, be it an assemblywoman in a factory or a fashion designer in Paris.
The ability to look at a situation and imagine solutions or predict future challenges is creativity. It's your mind thinking about the pieces in front of you in a new way, and your way of looking at these situations is uniquely yours.
Ultimately, we're selling ourselves. Not in a Roxanne type of way, of course, but in the business world – or even in the dating world! – our greatest asset is always our energy, ideas and time.
Creativity is the root of all. It's our perspective on the world, our deepest essence and our most intimate inner life, and it deserves to be cultivated… don't you think?

A Pre-Retiree Message To Millennials -- Automate Your Savings
Document Type
Publication Date
A new study by New York Life found three important things about pre-retirees between the ages of 50 and 62 with household income of at least $80,000, which should serve as a wake-up call to millennials and younger generations. First, the study found that pre-retirees wish they had started saving at a much younger age than they did. Second, pre-retirees wish that they had put their savings on auto-pilot. Third, pre-retirees have a high level of confidence in the performance of their own automated savings vehicles.

ZOE: enjoying her tea and a game.
EZRA: been stealing andy's hats and claiming as his own.
ZION: spinning with a stick.
AXEL: that smile pierces my heart.
OTTILIE: ez put her in a box and pushed her around one morning, it was a highlight for her.
well, the newness of the new year is wearing off. i am keeping our goals on our chalkboard as a constant reminder that we have some things to work toward this year… slowly, daily. a couple of us got hit with the sick bug (again!!) this weekend, and now are on the mend. thankfully! and, we have some new things we are beginning this week for school that we are so excited about. and, forecast says there's a chance of snow for tonight… hoping so much for this! that's about all for now… and another fun fact below. (sorry for the sporadic thoughts… it's the medication i think. i've been a bit goofy in my thinking lately. ha!!)
FUN FACT: ottilie has been speaking in the third person for the past few months, and it is too cute. i tried to teach her to say "I" the other day, but instead she said "mommy" thinking i was speaking about myself. some of our favorite daily phrases of hers:
"ottie do it!"
"ottie bum??" (ottie come? … anytime we go anywhere!)
"no ottie nigh-nigh"
"ottie, mommy make coooookies!!" (of the times we made cookies together)
"ottie's jaeey beeens" (ottie's jelly beans, still left from santa)

I have a new Medium account/page whatever. I'm going to put things there. Probably phaze this list out.
anyway, this is my summery of the 2016 election. For the record, I'm not a Trump supporter but do think it's possible that there are some positive things to glean with his becoming prez. No, I don't condone racists and I don't wish Muslims any harm or whatever. But here we are. No one listened to me and you probably won't listen to me now either. But here are the words.
Show Wins…
A thirty year Showman's take on 2016 General Election by Chicken John Rinaldi
The moment I saw that Donald Trump was entering the race, I knew he would win. And I knew he would win "somehow". It wouldn't be fair or just or anything like anyone had ever seen before. He is a Showman. And he would manipulate the media like any good Showman would. He would dominate the conversation. He wouldn't have to spend a penny. He would capitalize on his fame. He would cause total chaos. He would make his opponent irrelevant. And at the end of the day not actually give a fuck if he won or not. To him it's just another game in a long list of games.
I"ve been a Showman for over 30 years. Where most people have a hard time harvesting interest in their productions, I never have. Because to me, it's just a game. I'm a hack. I don't have any real talent and I don't really have any credibility to lose. I go farther than most other people would go to get people to pay attention to me. Or at least I did, before I found a niche that suited me. To be relevant, I would do or say outrageous things to get the media to write about me. To bizarre and comical ends. It was totally outside of any ethical confines, but much later in life I thought about what would happen if politics and 'Show' ever collided and the conclusion I came to was exactly the slow motion train wreck we all just watched.
Show wins.
I mean, sure... it didn't help that Hillary had a list of problems to begin with. She wasn't the ideal candidate. Tons of baggage. It was almost as if the Democratic Party was showing off, running Hillary. From the beginning, the election seemed like a formality. An inconvenience beneath her. Anyone who opposed her was instantly anti-women. Well, that's how it felt. She wasn't particularly good on camera, with the press or as a speaker and she didn't look particularly healthy or happy. Show would use that to it's advantage. Hillary lost the key Democratic voters when the DNC colluded to thwart any due process Bernie Sanders deserved. Bernie wanted to just run for president and you run until the convention then you see who wins. The DNC wanted him to fold early, they didn't like that he was drawing crowds of 40,000 people. They kept trying to tell him that Hillary was the inevitability, but he was old fashioned and wanted to keep trying.
Big mistake. Show wins.
The show the DNC wasn't seeing was that Bernie became a movement. Hillary was just a person. The Bernie movement cost Hillary more votes than she could afford. That combined with great turn out for Trump, we have Show working FOR Trump and Show working AGAINST Hillary. Bernie was such a movement, that people were writing him in even when he asked them not to. Look at the numbers in Michigan, 110,000 filled out ballots but left the presidential selection blank. All Hillary needed was 13,500 of them to beat Trump. What % of those 'blank' slates were people writing in Bernie? It's all right there. The people who wrote Bernie in were the people who were TOTALLY OUTRAGED at what the DNC did at the convention (and before). The way the Bernie people were treated at the convention was baffling. I watched with stunned disbelief at the in-fighting and wondered if there would be a Democratic Party left when this is over. And I'm still wonderin g that now. Because I just heard that Big Pharma lobbyist Howard Dean is thinking about running the DNC. The guy who was EATEN by show? The guy that the media-created hoax "the Dean scream" was about? Are you fucking kidding?
Wrong side of the show.
You see, not only is show the most powerful force, you have to be able to control show. You have to know how it works, and do tons of improv. You have to have been using show for decades. You have to be a person who has lived their life in show. Someone who has been in the public eye. Who understands PR. Not someone who gets eaten by show. The show that Hillary didn't do was to win the nomination and at the convention announce to everyone that she is giving Bernie first pick at ANY seat in her cabinet. Or that she was going to allow Bernie to select a seat or two seats or specific seats or whatever. Instead, they very quietly adopted his $15 an hour minimum wage with zero fanfare an zero hat tipping. Zero show. Zero clues. Zero consideration for the people they alienated. What appeared to be zero fucks given. The arrogance was just amazing. Bernie has a movement. Obama had a movement. Trump has a movement. Hell, if it wasn't for the movement that Ross Pero t had, we would have never even have heard of that obscure Governor from Arkansas and his wife. If Ross didn't run, George Bush Sr. would have won his second term easily and in 1996 the open presidential seat would have attracted more competition. People who hate Ralph Nader never mention Ross Perot. That guy had a movement. He had a show. He was the first person to introduce the idea of "electronic direct democracy". But he was a kooky weirdo, and quit. But while he ran, he DOMINATED the press with his brand of kooky. But he was on the wrong side of show. He wasn't a Showman. But neither is Hillary. Nor is Howard Dean. They don't have movements. They are tin eared, out of touch relics of the Democratic Party.
How can Show help us now?
Well it feels like we need a unicorn. We need someone who deals in Show and isn't an egomaniac nightmare law & order Nazi. We need to understand that Show is just a path. The Democratic Party's path ended on Tuesday Nov 8th 2016. That path was an experiment. It failed. Trump's path will fail as well, ultimately, because he won't be on the right side of history. He'll embolden the right to fuck things up in the historic way that neocons do, and the results will be the same as the last time the ball bounced across the court, just more extreme. Just like everything else. In Ross Perots' words: "Keep in mind our Constitution predates the Industrial Revolution. Our founders did not know about electricity, the train, telephones, radio, television, automobiles, airplanes, rockets, nuclear weapons, satellites, or space exploration. There's a lot they didn't know about. It would be interesting to see what kind of document they'd dr aft today. Just keeping it frozen in time won't hack it." It's time to hear this kinda thing from a millennial. That unicorn we need is never coming. It's up to all of us to be more familiar with show so we can't be manipulated by the media and their inability to leave the low hanging fruit hang. So we can see that a poll that says it's 99% likely that a person will win a presidential election is just an endorsement on steroids and NOT JOURNALISM. If we were better at seeing and creating Show we wouldn't stand for the fraudulent conspiracy of the heads of the DNC. Our communication tools are going to get better, of course. We will get better at using them. And sooner or later this country HAS to adopt a new constitution. One with UBI, defines nature as having the same (or more) rights than a person and one that puts medical care outside of commerce. For a start. Our problem has always been that we are waiting for a unicorn that is never coming. We all just need to get on a path that is not just going to become irrelevant. And end.
Because if you know how to work Show, that is the lever you use. You make your enemy irrelevant. Which is exactly what the Democratic Party is right now. Irrelevant.
The path that we all need to be on is going to take more work than a party affiliation. We need a global path to walk down. We need to think bigger than identifying with either red or blue and a few unsolvable wedge issues. We need an understanding outside of lines on maps and outside of commerce.
You all need to be better at Show. This last election would have made PT Barnham proud. He's looking down right now, beaming with delight saying "What a show!"
The simple fact is that history is full of stories of people with power underestimating their enemies. Like, every single story. Now that Trump has all the power, I sincerely hope he underestimates us when we get our shit together.
This mailing list is announce-only.
This email list is that of Showman Chicken John Rinaldi of San Francisco. You can keep up with his shenanigans and opinions by being on this list. If you would like to be included in a list to announce shows, that would be on the SFIOP.org site. This is for personal writing and such. He posts a few times a week at most. You sound much more important when you speak about yourself in the 3rd person. At least I do when I talk about me as 'him'.
Your email will be used for this list and this list only. I will not subscribe you to another list or sell your email address to get money for blow. I wouldn't do it I swear.


text: about a year and a half ago, my cousin gave me his old modded PSX which works great. i've used it a fair few times, but in the last few months it has been not doing much. yesterday i had a bit of a play though with a mate, and it occured to me that i hadnt neccessarily utilised it to its fullest so i did a bit of research on homebrew and apps etc for PS and pretty much what looked like the most useful thing a came across was the NES emulator 'it might be nes". so currently i'm in the process of building an iso or whatever for it and hopefully that works out fine (any extra advice that may bot be on the homepage would be appreciated though if there is any). Now a question: Is there much other noteworthy homebrew for PS? moving on. with all the gear my cousin gave me was a different controller. he said he picked it up in some asian country he visited and he was told you could connect it to your computer or something along those lines. but he never tried anything out with it nor knew how to. the controller has an extra cable; see pics. i think it resembles a printer cable. does anyone know anything about it or if it has any use? Thanks for any help/advice guys! Edit: oh and if anyone can reccomend some good NES games to test the emu with please mention. Or a link to a reccomendation list would be even better!

Iggy Azalea Poses Topless & Flaunts Bare Booty In See-Through Leather Chaps
Iggy Azalea is known for her big booty, but her breasts are definitely shining assets as well. On June 16 the rapper proved that when she teased her fans with one of her most risqué topless pics ever!
Iggy Azalea, 26, has one rocking body and she DEFINITELY knows it. In fact, Iggy seems to be so proud of her physique that she doesn't mind giving her fans a little look at the goods every now and then. On June 16, Iggy took to Instagram to post a pic of her posing totally topless! Whoa, Iggy, prepare us if you're gonna give off that kind of heat. The "Fancy" singer clearly wants everyone to know that even though her luscious derriere is her most famous body part, she has a lot going on in the chest as well!
Though Iggy was topless in the pic, her breasts weren't on full display, as she was facing a wall. However, her head and tiny torso were turned slightly to the side and her arms were covering her chest just enough that there was some serious side boob on display. If that wasn't hot enough, Iggy was wearing skin-tight lace-up leather chaps that had sexy cut out black sheer panels that framed her butt. Thins straps zigzagged down the panels. Iggy's makeup was totally on point, giving her an effortless glow. Her stunning blonde locks were sleek and pulled around her shoulder, totally exposing her back.
Iggy has been promoting her new song with Anitta, 24, "Switch," which many believe is a Kylie Jenner, 19, diss track. After all, Anitta is now linked to Ky's ex Tyga, 27, so we know exactly why Anitta would be coming for her. But we're not sure if Iggy really wants to be part of that whole mess, seeing as Tyga appears to be throwing diss tracks at Ky and Ky's new man Travis Scott, 25, is throwing diss tracks back at him. Click here to see pics of Anitta.
HollywoodLifers, what do you think of Iggy's sexy topless look and lace-up leather chaps? Let us know below!

It's already super chilly over here in Germany,it even started snowing last week! And here I am,rocking my all time favourite boots from last year every. single. day. Not that I have a problem with it but OH BOY it's getting boring.What do you do in this situation on a sunday? Of course online shopping! So I thought I would also show you guys what caught my eyes ♥
I not only looked for every day wear but also holiday flats and heels! In my opinion the best time to wear red shoes! And yes,I am already planning my holiday outfits lol,hope I'm not the only one that's this crazy 🙂
You have probably heard it a thousand times this year,but Gucci seriously is killing the fashion game thanks to Alessandro Michele!And those classic black pumps with fringe,I can totally see Audrey Hepburn wearing them with her signature cropped pants. Also fringe,yep.I am kinda obsseded…So I also looked at the Marni shoes with that little bow which is so darn cute,and proves that it's all about the details,yet the price is kinda hefty.But thank good I found a good alternative,the Dr.martens Adrian.I think I will go for them first and see how much I actually wear them,since it's not a style that I normally wear.
What I wear a lot are ankle boots,they just go with everything in my closet.I locked my eyes with the simple yet edgy Miu Miu boots and the Chloe Lauren Boots.I already like the Chloe Lauren flats a lot because it's probably one of the most comfortable pair of flats I own.
Then,we have the oh so famous Stuart Weitzman overknees.TBH I'm still very hesitated,simply because I don't really like suede and it snows a lot where I live.
Lets's hope we can walk on fluffy glittery snow in no time !

The Final Journals of
William S. Burroughs.
Edited and with an introduction
by James Grauerholz.
273 pp. New York:
Grove Press. $25.
With his canes, suits and absurd fedoras, William S. Burroughs was the dandy manque who invented geek chic and made modernism available to the hippie masses. The last of the major Beats, Burroughs succumbed to heart failure in 1997 at 83. Though he is still best known for ''Naked Lunch'' (1959), Burroughs's later experiments in narrative technique earned him a place in classrooms. His aura earned him vast hosts of fans and the role of high priest and soothsayer that he always believed was his birthright.
Born in St. Louis in 1914, Burroughs was the grandson of the man who invented the adding machine. The Burroughs Corporation ultimately merged with the Sperry Corporation to create Unisys, although Burroughs himself failed to profit from the sale (his family had sold its stock in the company many years before). After graduating from Harvard, Burroughs eventually moved to New York and settled, with his parents' financial support, into the world of his real education, the world of boys, heroin and small-time grifters. The definitive hipster was sustained by his privileged background. As a writer, he was dependent on the High Moderns, particularly T. S. Eliot, without whose example he could not have purchased his own curious originality. The contradictions never bothered Burroughs; his arrogance thrived on them. In 1983, after sojourns in New York, London, Paris and Tangier, Burroughs retired to the university town of Lawrence, Kan., a sign, perhaps, of mellowing, even though his fun included frequent target practice with handguns and rifles. His hobbies were also star-crossed: he had killed his wife, Joan, with a pistol during a failed William Tell experiment in Mexico in 1951.
Now that Burroughs's ''final journals'' have been published, edited by his companion and literary executor, James Grauerholz, a comprehensive sense of the man and his achievement, for better and for worse, is at last available. Grauerholz's introduction and notes are a fine mixture of fact and feeling, and make ''Last Words'' a synthetic whole. Burroughs published only one full-scale journal previously, ''The Retreat Diaries'' (1976), the record of two weeks of Buddhist meditation, but that is a deliberate performance compared with this one. Moreover, ''final journals'' is something of a misnomer, since, as Grauerholz notes in his introduction, Burroughs had always used index cards for jotting down thoughts and dreams. He began composing a formal diary only in the last years of his life, after his ability to use both cards and his typewriter had diminished with the onset of physical difficulties and Grauerholz and other friends had made him a present of some bound blank notebooks. Burroughs eventually filled eight such volumes.
Burroughs's characteristic froideur has given way to a love of cats, if nothing else, in the face of death. At 83, he has become ''a kindly ruin,'' as one young pilgrim to the house in Lawrence describes him. With ''the stage . . . darker,'' a Shakespearean Burroughs says, he takes his inspiration for dying from his recently deceased friends, Allen Ginsberg and Timothy Leary. Their last words on the occasions of their own imminent deaths form a kind of litany. ''I thought I would be terrified,'' Ginsberg says to Burroughs; ''instead I am exhilarated.'' Leary, who videotaped his own demise, says, ''Why not?''Continue reading the main story
But unlike many literary diaries, ''Last Words'' is rarely personal, even though the journals are an exploration in depth, and in sum, of Burroughs's personality and creative preoccupations. We learn very little that is new about the Beats or about Burroughs's habits in these last years of his life. Instead, we witness the rich repetition, with variations, of a string of half-conscious fancies, scenarios and literary allusions. The elements should be familiar enough to any reader of Burroughs: drugs, federal agents, international conspiracies, guns, murder, the Mafia, the Old West, spaceships, aliens and the witness protection program. The literary preoccupations, however, are surprising because they juxtapose appreciations of writers as different, or as seemingly different, as Joseph Conrad and Mario Puzo. Here is the text in action:
''No one is perfect.
''No, but by the flaws in the picture the truth will emerge.
''Any[way] -- last night, vague dream I was somewhere, couldn't stay long -- I packed laundry sack with drawstring. . . .
''What else?
''The lake, a Moroccan, Jewish, German slum.
''So I must let everything all the way in, a vast wind to blow everything that doesn't belong away.
''(I am transparent.)''
The frequent bubbling-up of lines from ''The Waste Land'' recalls the surest source of Burroughs's inspiration as an artist, and the inevitable site to which he returns in the shadow of death:
'' 'I feel chilly and grown old.
'I feel like Tiresias,
'[a] fortnight dead, and the waves pick his bones in whispers'
-- the old, old words.''
The sharp jump-cutting, short sentence to short sentence, quotation to quotation, creates the same effect that Burroughs creates in his novels. The journals are built out of such ''fragments,'' as Burroughs calls them, or, to use his old word for such modular writing,
''cut-ups.'' All literary work, Burroughs maintains, is really the rearrangement of bits and pieces of writing. The cut-up method shows just how easy it is to produce and manipulate literary response: by shifting the context in which something appears and altering the chains of association that give it meaning.
But ''Last Words'' is more than a primer in Burroughs's technique. It also presents fresh clues to the larger design of his imagination, and a means of gaining a renewed perspective on his work. When Burroughs confesses that he has become addicted to writing in his new notebooks, the metaphor is decisive. It is the key to a pattern that brings to light a parallel between writing and junk, and between writing and crime, especially murder. Nor is it because of the existential bravado that joins the writer and the punk. Far from it. Writing, drugs and murder come from the same shop because they are all forms of discipline. ''The gunfight,'' Burroughs writes, ''was a spiritual exercise.'' Being addicted to junk is both a spiritual exercise and a management concern, an enterprise that, like writing, requires organization and discipline. Each is a ''metier,'' a ''profession.'' The focus and scrupulosity of the addict, the gunslinger and the hit man render all of them disciples of form. The addict lays out his or her kit the way the crew lays out equipment in Conrad's romances of the sea. No wonder Burroughs's prose is excessive and minimalist at the same time. The simple presentation of what is weird or disgusting is the perfect instrument for showing the form in what is presumably formless.
IT is Burroughs's priceless fascination with Mario Puzo's ''Last Don'' and Puzo's estimation of criminality that brings everything together. Burroughs chuckles as Don Clericuzio indulges his ''bloody mouth'' hit-man grandson until, finally, he has had enough: ''Bad form,'' as Burroughs describes the Don's attitude toward murder, ''not to like it as a job well done -- but when it comes to rutting around in it like a dog rolls in carrion, The Family draws a strict line.'' Then, a few pages later: ''A hit man has to be cool. It's just a job.'' The lesson is clear. Like the equipoise of violence and form -- of violence as form -- in Burroughs's own work, the hit man is obliged to be a perfect balance of passion and order. Like the writer, he or she is, like Conrad's captains, the epitome of the dedicated professional.
Burroughs, however, never fully heeded his own advice. The ideas are compelling, but their execution is lazy and shallow. Without enough drugs in his reader's system, Burroughs's prose falls flat on its face. The reader must supply the labor -- and the good will -- required to bring his writing to the level of fullness to which it aspires. This is too much to demand in the way of collaboration. Like geek chic, Burroughs is too hard to read. There was a time when men really did wear hats.Continue reading the main story

I feel that I am ready to write a little about the events of the last week. Justin Wright, one of my closest friends past away on Tuesday the 18th. We met on the second day of Calarts.....
Eric Favela and I, were prowling the dormitory, looking to meet fellow freshmen animators. The goal was simple. Meet new people, get jazzed up about the upcoming school year, and get blind drunk. So, going door to door, we came to Mike and Justin's room. The room had Disney and Pixar stuff everywhere, we new we had struck gold. After a lot of persuading they both agreed to hang out with us, so we heading back to my dorm room to to chat and get drunk. The only problem was... neither of them drank.......at all. I simply could not understand the concept of grown men not drinking. Justin sat on a chair and played guitar, while Eric kept asking him if he wanted to do a shot. Gradually the evening became more and more uncomfortable, as we got drunker and drunker, while Justin and Mike just smiled and made small talk. It was not long before they ran for the hills. Justin later told me, as they left my dorm room he said to mike...
" Well one thing is for sure, we will not be hanging out with those guys." - Oh how wrong he was.
Justin ending up getting the workspace opposite ours for the freshman year. It was the start of a wonderful, once in a lifetime friendship.
Justin was not only talented, he was extremely kind hearted. Always eager to show others the beauty of life. Justin was constantly helping those in need. He was always eager to have a debate, and to challenge both himself and those around him. He was even my sponsor to stay in the US. He was the master of Halo, and had an obsessive passion for video games. He loved his Steinbeck. He loved God and Jesus. He loved his family more that words can describe. He loved his friends. He loved his work. He loved every second of life. He was a brother to me, and I firmly believe he made me a better person.
Thanks dude.
You will always be in my heart.
