The punishingly scorching summer time has now been exhausted, however its indignant residue nonetheless hangs in the environment. It's been a difficult quarter, we gained't deny that, so artwork wants to rise and meet the rigidity head on. Fortunately we've been handled to mild, meditative self-care tomes from artists like Sarah Davachi and H. Takahashi, indignant calls-to-action from Lotic and Vanligt People, Bamba Pana and Xzavier Stone's pressing transmissions from the international dancefloor, cautious, mild pop from Tirzah and Low and a lot extra.
Amnesia Scanner
One other Life
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
For higher or worse, Amnesia Scanner have come to outline the chaos and digital extra of Berlin's modern post-genre membership scene. The Finnish duo's digital collages are simply as doubtless to soundtrack radio performs as they're to be performed by DJs, and their EDM-style riffs and typically undanceable rhythms incessantly push the boundaries of style. On their debut album One other Life although, every thing simply clicks into place. It's a report that locations them not solely as a membership act, however as architects of the type of computerized hardcore that places them firmly in the lineage of acts like Atari Teenage Riot and Dying Grips. Tracks like 'AS A.W.O.L.' and 'AS Faceless' sound like digitally shredded nu-metal, sure, however for listeners of a sure age, this solely provides to the album's aggy appeal. SW
Bamba Pana
(Nyege Nyege Tapes)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
One of the core producers from the Sisso secure highlighted on last yr's distinctive Sounds of Sisso compilation, Jumanne Ramadhani Zegge, aka Bamba Pana, re-tools the singeli music of his native Tanzania, absorbing international membership tropes and tailoring them to order. It's brittle, jerky and jarringly detailed from the outset, managing to sound like a carnival and sweaty basement virtually concurrently. Poaa is hyperactive dance music at its best, a rollercoaster journey of wobbly bass, shifting percussion and manic power that's inconceivable to ignore. JT
Bliss Sign
Bliss Sign
(True Panther Sounds)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Who would have thought that a mixture of energy electronics and black metallic might elicit such euphoria? When Totally different Circles boss and weightless pioneer Mumdance joined forces with Altar Of Plagues frontman James Kelly to type Bliss Sign at Unsound 2017, the last factor we anticipated was to be uplifted. Quick ahead a yr and Bliss Sign stands out as one of the 2018's most ecstatic releases. Mumdance's swelling ambient washes and eardrum-destroying blast beats elevate Kelly's frazzled shredding into an awesome deluge of noise that's one way or the other in a position to transcend the gloom and emerge with an power that's really life-affirming. HBJ
Channel Tres
Channel Tres
Spotify / Apple Music / SoundCloud
After listening to Moodymann's voice on Drake's chart-dominating 'Passionfruit', Channel Tres realized that it signaled a neat method to fold his ardour for Detroit and Chicago home into modern rap. His debut self-titled EP is a low-slung delight and filters a litany of influences – G-funk, jazz, hardcore punk – into tracks that sit someplace between Galcher Lustwerk and George Clinton. It's home music, positive, however missing the ubiquitous plasticky post-Disclosure sheen or fatiguing lo-fi cynicism. As an alternative it's anchored by Channel Tres' scorching bars that dance round the beat in methods your fave might solely dream of. JT
Low Energy
(White Paddy Mountain)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Composed utilizing solely an iPhone, Low Energy was put collectively as a relaxing antidote to Tokyo's anxiety-provoking technological chaos. Architect H. Takahashi assembled the album throughout his commute from "idyllic" Saitama to the massive metropolis and used these moments to sink into a special world, a land of peaceable, cascading synth tones that sound like water droplets falling gracefully onto a muted glockenspiel. It's a stunning document, good in its simplicity and perfect for decreasing the day's density to a tranquil shimmer; it might be impolite to ask for extra. JT
(Peder Mannerfelt Produktion)
Spotify / Apple Music / SoundCloud
Boston-based Isabella Koen has been effervescent up on the fringes of techno with creative data on cult labels like Frak's Börft and Jacktone for the previous few years. Whistle, her new EP for Peder Mannerfelt's personal label, is a shining instance of how far the style might be pushed to its limits whereas remaining tethered to a four/four pulse. 'Vain, for example, is remarkably lithe for a piece of 150BPM nosebleed techno, while 'Penchant Disenchantment' weaves a lot of funk into its overheating steam engine throb. Nevertheless, it's the glassy, atonal melodies of 'Dicey Takes Its Form' that stand out, including a observe to the document that's each candy and unusually bitter. SW
Laurel Halo
Uncooked Silk Uncut Wooden
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Laurel Halo's 2017 LP Mud gave the voice a starring position, chopping and splicing it into collages of jittery experimental pop, however on her new mini-album it's been neglected of the image. As an alternative, Halo builds Uncooked Silk Uncut Wooden from skeletal instrumentation, pockets of pacifying area and natural sounds – together with cello from Oliver Coates, which provides a richness to the beatless, Ursula Okay. Le Guin-inspired title monitor – and percussion from Eli Keszler. As with Sarah Davachi's Gave in Relaxation, Uncooked Silk Uncut Wooden gives escape from the clatter of 2018 – however with out dropping sight of the spiky experimentalism that defines Halo's unsettling meditations. ACW
Lechuga Zafiro
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
With every launch, Mexico Metropolis's N.A.A.F.I has demonstrated the unstoppable energy of the Latinx avant-club sound it has cultivated over the last six years. Uruguayan producer Lechugo Zafiro's debut for the label is not any exception and Testigo combines natural sound design, cybernetic dembow rhythms and unnerving vocal samples to really damaging impact. 'Pájarocámara' opens with a lady sobbing, then builds a lolloping beat round a loop of an un-stifled gasp, whereas 'Ita' seems like a spaceship crashing right into a rainforest full of hungry wolves. But it's 'Agua Y Puerta' that appears destined for greatness, having already acquired help from Batu and Mobilegirl and confirmed up on Kode9 & Burial's Fabriclive combine in the last few months alone. HBJ
(Tri Angle)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Relentlessly complicated, defiant and assured, Energy is the end result of years of work from J'Kerian Morgan, aka Lotic, each as a tirelessly creative DJ and boundary-pushing producer. The album got here collectively throughout a brush with homelessness that rocked Morgan's relationship with their assumed house of Berlin and challenged their day-to-day actuality. However after embracing their pure femininity and visualizing Energy's unforgettable album cover, Morgan was artistically revitalized, channeling that energy into every pore of Power. The result is a series of mind-altering productions that display not lazy aesthetics but wrought sexuality and the kind of ecstatic energy found in clubland's darkest recesses. Energy proudly throws a center finger up at society's expectations and confuses, enthralls and excites suddenly; overlook what you assume you understand. JT
Double Unfavorable
(Sub Pop)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Even followers who've been following slowcore figureheads Low since the early '90s have been stunned by the trio's 12th studio album, Double Unfavourable. It's not as if Low haven't labored with digital sounds earlier than – 2007's Dave Fridmann-produced Drums and Weapons stays underrated and misunderstood – however it's nonetheless uncommon to hear their songs augmented by an aesthetic extra readily discovered on restricted cassette at the Brooklyn Flea. Double Unfavourable seems like the skeletons of Low songs exhumed and reconstituted by Andy Stott and Demdike Stare, with Alan Sparhawk and Mimi Parker's voice piped by means of molasses-slow overdriven digital beats, cotton-wool pads and throbbing noise. It's one of the most shocking pop albums of the yr. JT
(Hassle In Thoughts)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
It was method again in 2013 when Chicago's Whitney Johnson kicked off her formidable trilogy with Seraphastra, a ferric bundle of half-heard beats, wheezing synths and echoing vocals. She adopted it up in 2015 with the fuzzy, drum machine-heavy Somnaphoria and eventually finishes the trilogy with Sacracorpa, her most singular report to date. The new album got here collectively after a medical situation from start returned unexpectedly, re-focusing her inventive resolve and providing Sacracorpa its emotional core. Right here, the fuzzy ideas that underpinned the trilogy's first two installments are developed in widescreen, giving her songs room to breathe, develop and flourish. Johnson's swirling, vague vocals are at middle stage, surrounded by a smudged refrain of effervescent synthesizers and pulsing rhythms. Psychedelic music not often sounds so intimate and so honest. JT
Midori Takada & Lafawndah
Le Renard Bleu
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Japanese percussionist and composer Midori Takada's first recording in 20 years is a single 20-minute piece impressed by the blue fox, a trickster archetype in Japanese and Senegalese folklore. Although its rippling mixture of waterphone and marimba delivers the whole lot you'd hope for from Takada's first new music in over 20 years, it's Lafawndah's vocal efficiency that elevates La Renard Bleu into on the spot basic standing, bringing an R&B-meets-ecclesiastical dimension to Takada's religious association. SW
Miss Pink
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
It's onerous to consider that Okay.O. is Israeli vocalist Miss Purple's debut album. Sharon Stern has been working with Kevin Martin, aka The Bug, since 2012 and dropped the distinctive Homicide mixtape – that includes manufacturing from Andy Stott and Mark Pritchard in addition to Martin – again in 2015. However Okay.O. is undoubtedly her most fully-realized work to date, with Martin's unmistakable grind offering a backdrop for Stern's dominant character. Miss Pink has managed to take the affect of Sister Nancy and Woman Ann and push it into a totally new realm; reggae is the spine, however the finish result's a Frankenstein's monster of three many years of 'ardkore dust and improvement. JT
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Tuning into a brand new age frequency that's even weirder than their earlier excursions, Niagara's first full-length takes its cue from Portugal's distinctive experimental lineage in addition to the trio's self-styled "fourth world plus" sound. Awash with kosmische abstractions and Blade Runner-inspired synths, the album is a psychotropic mishmash of acoustic meets digital and historic meets sci-fi, with glissandi-enhanced odyssey 'Franca' and marimba-led 'Damasco' proving specific highlights. As the band notice: "You can hardly tell if this sounds like the future or some distant past". ACW
object blue
(Lets Go Swimming)
One of my very favourite musical moments of this yr was watching object blue calmly tear aside the management room of Berlin's Kraftwerk to an viewers of about six individuals. Each bit of that concentrated aggression, deadly poise and funky magnificence is encapsulated in REX, which takes King Lear as the stimulus for a set of thrilling excursions into off-kilter techno and intricately deconstructed membership sounds. Initially meant as the producer's debut EP, REX was borne out of a turbulent interval that resulted in the document's shelving and subsequent re-recording, and this turmoil is tangible all through. On '(Time To) Work' a hiccupping Aaliyah pattern competes with frenetic percussion that hurtles in a number of instructions directly, while on 'Chipping At The Kingdom' muffled snares shift out and in of part with the distant echoes of stone slabs grinding over one another. It's by means of these fixed left-turns that REX repeatedly shirks conference and completely captures the uncooked emotion and depth of the producer's evocative reside performances. HBJ
Renick Bell
Turning Factors
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Renick Bell is one of the artists at the forefront of "algorave", a motion whose artists write membership music with code, sometimes in entrance of a reside viewers; Bell himself creates his unpredictable tracks by manipulating samples with text-based modifying software program. On paper, it doesn't precisely sound thrilling. Nevertheless, Bell's Turning Factors is one of the most creative membership albums of the yr, moulding kicks, snares and artificial textures into elastic shapes that twist your mind and physique into knots. His music is straightforward to examine to Autechre, who've been utilizing software program to summon their arcane funk for many years, however Bell's concise preparations are much more digestible. SW
Rico Nasty
(Sugar Lure)
Spotify / Apple Music / SoundCloud
Jagged, flourescent and punky, Nasty looks like a visit to an intergalactic relaxation cease: ordered however alluringly alien. We get to pay attention as Rico Nasty's shapeshifting persona is melted over a swatch-book of vivid bangers, from brutal EDM-flecked opener 'Bitch I'm Nasty' and the jerky 'Superthug' tribute 'Countin' Up' to the sugary, Eight-bit rattle of 'Ice Cream', that turns Raekwon's Cuban Linx basic on its head. In the mistaken palms, this strategy might be a disastrous mess, so it's to Nasty's credit score she permits her three uniquely-defined personalities – Lure Lavigne, Tacobella and Rico Nasty, appearing like Scrooge's ghosts – to information her to success. JT
Sarah Davachi
Gave In Relaxation
(Ba Da Bing!)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Any music fan who has ever attended a musical efficiency in a sacred area will little question share Sarah Davachi's appreciation for the awe that these buildings can encourage. Step inside a church and its devotional fervor chimes completely with drone music's meditative potential. On Gave in Relaxation, Davachi dutifully presents this symbiosis utilizing synth, strings, piano, organ and voice throughout seven serenely minimal compositions that present shelter from the storm of trendy life. The album expels a mournful, medieval-tinged breath all through: 'Auster' is resonant and puritanically sparse, 'Evensong' evokes the somber aspect of Christian liturgy, and the Hammond organ-powered 'Waking' closes the service on a haunting word. A melancholic cloud hangs low over this bleakly comforting album. ACW
Steve Hauschildt
(Ghostly Worldwide)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
On Steve Hauschildt's distinctive 2016 album Strands, the Emeralds co-founder reconstructed the sound of '90s chill-out rooms and early IDM. Hauschildt's follow-up, Dissolvi – his first album for Ghostly Worldwide – isn't an entire departure, although it does evolve the synthesist's fashion in delicate and vital methods. On two tracks he collaborates with vocalists (Julianna Barwick and GABI) for the first time – together with the standout 'Saccade', a chic piece of digital people that evokes B12 and SAW-era Aphex Twin in addition to '70s new age music. Making the leap from crafting soul-soothing ambience to arranging actual songs can't be straightforward, however Hauschildt pulls it off in fashion. SW
Teresa Winter
What the Night time is For
(The Demise of Rave)
Teresa Winter's second album for Manchester's The Dying of Rave, What The Night time Is For is a tense, surreal prospect, dialed into the magickal queered atmospheres of Coil and the multi-faceted cinema fantastique of infamous French filmmaker Jean Rollin. However don't for a second assume that is merely a wobbly assortment of funereal drones. Positive, opener 'Canticles Of Ecstasy' is principally seven minutes of eerie church organ, however it's extra Last Yr at Marienbad than The Abominable Dr. Phibes. What The Night time Is For is chilling and relentlessly female, with Winter's vocals curling over artificial clouds and spikes of percussion. Sometimes, she lets rhythm interrupt the ritual, carving its path by way of her Northern vowels with all the grace of a uninteresting blade. It's not fairly, however it's lovely. JT
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
"You can come to me with honesty, you can come to me with tenderness," Tirzah Mastin sings on 'Devotion', the heart-wrenching centerpiece of her beautiful debut album. It's this incitement to emotional intimacy that lies at the coronary heart of the report, as Mastin's weary supply and Mica Levi's off-kilter manufacturing effortlessly translate the most relatable expositions of affection, want and heartbreak into astonishingly direct pop songs. From the anxious giggle that reverberates round the opening part of 'Devotion' to the startling confession, "I don't believe / When I say I can forgive" on 'Basic Need', Tirzah bares her soul to us in order that we will too. HBJ
Vanligt People
(Kontra Musik)
Spotify / Apple Music / Bandcamp
Hambo may be the oddest fusion we've heard all yr: Swedish people music, dancehall and EBM. The hambo is a standard working class Swedish dance that sprung up as the 19th Century dribbled into the 20th, and Vanligt People use this as a revolutionary name to motion, chanting and singing (in Swedish, of course) about race, nationalism and custom. Juxtaposing this conventional sound with gritty dancehall manufacturing that sounds one thing like Equiknoxx making a D.A.F. document, the message, whether or not you perceive the phrases or not, is fairly plain to hear. JT
Xzavier Stone
(Fractal Fantasy)
Spotify / Apple Music / SoundCloud
Xzavier Stone's debut album, Thirst, takes every thing nice about '90s R&B and hip-hop and wraps it in the glittering shroud of modern club music. Admittedly, there are plenty of other producers doing the same thing, but Stone's tracks – which closely function his personal vocals – are extra like fully-fledged songs than membership instruments. On highlights like 'Give Me Sum' his beats channel The Neptunes, whereas 'Roll 2 the Door' is Jersey membership by approach of Timbaland. Thirst is only one spotlight of a yr of killer releases for Sinjin Hawke and Zora Jones' Fractal Fantasy label. SW
Younger Nudy
Slimeball three
(Paradise East)
Spotify / Apple Music / SoundCloud
Younger Nudy's Slimeball three offers one other case in favor of the rising Atlanta rapper's distinctive fashion. The assertive, conspicuously feature-free mixtape assembles the architects of modern lure's grittiest psychedelia for a surreal treatise on intercourse, violence and money-making. Pi'erre Bourne's rumbling basslines and elastic synths present the good accompaniment to the rapper's menacingly laconic drawl, whereas his whimsical, sing-song supply of "I'm ridin around on my skateboard / Nah, I'm not doing no surfboard" on 'Middle Fingers' is as catchy as it's chilly. Standout 'InDaStreet' serves as the fullest realization of the Nudy's off-the-wall imaginative and prescient, as he winds a syllable-stuffed knotty cadence round Maaly Uncooked's chilling flute-led manufacturing. He describes it best himself when he ranges: "I'm all about all type of fuckery, you know, fuckery". HBJ
Yves Tumor
Protected In The Arms Of Love
Spotify / Apple Music
Avant-noise artist indicators to Warp and makes an attempt to begin an enormous beat revival? When the chameleonic Yves Tumor dropped the indie-referencing 'Noid' earlier this yr, it appeared completely designed to delight and confuse in equal measure. But with the launch of Protected In The Arms Of Love, the demonic rock 'n' roll posturing that noticed the artist donning milky contact lenses and psychedelic physique stockings instantly made complete sense. The album goes a way to bridging the hole between Tumor's experiments in esoteric R&B and ambient experimentation together with his rabidly confrontational stay exhibits, which graze the harsher edges of noise and drone. Add options from fellow experimental noise-makers Puce Mary and Oxhy, Posh Isolation's Croatian Amor and vocalist James Okay, and the result's the artist's most completed launch to date. HBJ

From Microcosms.
Jim was lying in a ditch in a pool of blood. He insisted he'd been dreaming of war. The blood was from the soldiers, he said, because he had to bandage their wounds.
Ed had been in love with Jim for years, but he was a cop.
"Who'd you kill, Jim?"
"It was the dream! Please believe me."
Ed wanted to, but he was banned from the case due to conflict of interest.
Jim was tied to the disappearance and implied murder of several war veterans. He wasn't sentenced because they found him dead in his cell.
No one could explain the bloody bandages he used to strangle himself.

The great thing about Easter is we get to keep celebrating for some time to come!
This weekend, we start to think what it means to be Living the Resurrection. Acts 2-5 will be our base, as we see the marks of the new community centred around the risen Christ. We'll see how he transforms life at a number of levels. This weekend, we're thinking what it means to be devoted - and what we're giving our best efforts to.
On Saturday night at 9pm, we meet with Bishop Mouneer and all the Cathedral congregations as we rejoice on the Saturday of Light. Clergy and congregations from many of our churches will be with us.
Next Tuesday at 8pm, we welcome the Cairo Choral Society and their Czech guests the Prague Mixed Choir to sing a mixed program of Mozart, Haydn, Czech folk songs - even some Byzantine Chant. You will be most welcome on this special evening.

ABC Kitchen signified a small turning point in the appetites of New Yorkers when it opened seven years ago. We had snuffled through much of the previous decade in search of pork shoulders, lamb belly, rib-eyes and marrow bones, and if we didn't exactly wake up on the first day of 2010 doubled over with regret, some of us were starting to wonder why the bed smelled like bacon.
Then that spring we got ABC Kitchen, with Dan Kluger in the kitchen, Jean-Georges Vongerichten whispering in his ear and a new way of filling our stomachs on the menu.
Mr. Kluger wasn't cooking health food, not with that mayo-spritzed cheeseburger. But a sizable chunk of the nearly 50 dishes were salads or saladlike constructions. Vegetables were everywhere, including on top of the whole-wheat pizzas. The plates jangled with flavor, and very little of it came from animal fat. We might have called the food "vegetable forward" if that term had been invented.
When diners stood up at the end of the night, you could almost hear them sighing with relief that they'd had an entire meal in a hot downtown restaurant without eating lard.
The two chefs teamed up again for ABC Cocina, which opened a new front on the culture wars by mashing peas into guacamole, before Mr. Kluger left Mr. Vongerichten's synchronized-swimming team to splash around in a pool of his own. After two years of preparation, he opened Loring Place in December in an expansive space on West Eighth Street, where the shoe stores used to be.
There's a long and busy bar to the right of the entrance where the drinks list offers you very well-made classic cocktails as well as innovations that taste like classics in the making. On the left are two dining areas: one that sits on a platform in the window, and another, bigger one off the kitchen. Designed by Cycle Projects, the rooms are full of handsome expanses of white brick and stained walnut.
Yes, these hard surfaces amplify the noise. Yes, they're trying to fix it.
Mr. Kluger has said in interviews that at Loring Place he is bringing back some of the tricks he picked up before he learned his ABC's, while he was working under Floyd Cardoz and Tom Colicchio. That may be true of the recipes, but the template of the menu comes unmistakably from ABC Kitchen, all the way down to the whole-wheat pizzas.
There are more salads at Loring Place, and the saladlike constructions are even more saladlike. At the end of winter, I loved the combination of crisp Bosc pears with soft roasted leeks over thick yogurt, and some sugar-glazed walnuts for ballast. A couple of weeks ago, with pollen in the air, I appreciated the arrival of sweet sugar snap peas, lightly charred and served with bright pink breakfast radishes and shreds of pecorino.
In this herbivorous decade, Loring Place isn't the only restaurant to try grinding flour from local grains, or the only one to get mixed results. The emmer crackers, armored with sunflower seeds, are terrific with a schmear of the excellent and lightly sweet hummus. So are the breakfast radishes lodged in the surface of the hummus.
A friend who knows her grains looked dubious when I ordered the house-made whole-wheat spaghetti. I was skeptical, too. (It is almost never as good as it sounds.) Loring Place gets it right, though, and lets it be, tossing it with basil, chiles, grated cheese and some velvety leaves of spinach.
The whole-wheat bread, on the other hand, isn't quite at the point where Loring Place should be charging $6 for a loaf smaller than a football. The crust is impressively sturdy, but the interior is neither tender nor elastic — it's dry and crumbly.
I liked the whole-wheat pizza crust enough to wish it had been allowed to breathe a little more under a mass of shaved asparagus, maitake mushrooms, jalapeños and three kinds of cheese.
But I have to admit I had a hard time keeping up my interest in the other pies at Loring Place once I'd eaten a square of what the menu calls "grandma-style pan pizza." Like a less doughy Sicilian baked with canned tomatoes, not sauce, the grandma has been slowly expanding its range west of its traditional breeding grounds in Nassau County. The Loring Place grandma crust is thicker than in the archetypal versions, but flavorful, light and nongreasy. I hope Mr. Kluger has stocked up on pizza pans because he runs a serious risk of selling a grandma pie to every table in the restaurant.
Its only close rival on the menu is the cheeseburger, which comes with bacon made on site, a likably combative pickled-pepper aioli and a cast-iron pan of thick-cut fries that seem to get crunchier as they got cooler, a neat feature.
I don't imagine Mr. Kluger wants us to think of Loring Place as a place for cheeseburgers and square pizza, but a lot of the other main courses aren't as compelling for one reason or another. Halibut with a market's worth of mixed mushrooms in miso and lemon juice was an ideal example of how to cook and serve fish, but I can't say the same about the nondescript king salmon or the sea scallops in a sauce whose naked acidity was intensified by apples marinated in vinegar.
Grilled chicken breast with carrot barbecue sauce sounded more exciting than it was; the sauce never kicked in hard enough to rouse the warm peas and rice that seemed to have settled down under the chicken for a long winter's nap.
As much as I want to take Loring Place on its own terms, the menu makes comparisons with ABC Kitchen inevitable, and Loring Place comes off as slightly less interesting. It's not just that a lot of it feels familiar now; some of it is also unfocused and busy. The plates have more going on, but there's not as much happening.
To be fair, very few restaurants are as interesting as ABC Kitchen was when it opened, and there are solid reasons that reservations at Loring Place are hard to come by. They include the wine list, which packs a few nice surprises, not the least of which is the attention it pays to the $40 to $60 range. And they continue through the smartly nostalgic dessert menu. There's a sly update on the Hostess CupCake, a tin of cookies, and a vanilla ice-cream sundae with pretzels, toffee and whatnot, modeled on the Dairy Queen Blizzard.
O.K. It's kind of like the sundae at ABC Kitchen. It's still good.

Primatene Mist, the only over-the-counter asthma inhaler sold in this country, is disappearing from drugstores as of the end of this year, and doctors urge those who were relying on it to make an appointment and get a prescription replacement.
Primatene Mist, the only over-the-counter asthma inhaler sold in this country, is disappearing from drugstores as of the end of this year, and doctors urge those who were relying on it to make an appointment and get a prescription replacement.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is no longer allowing the sale of the inhalers, to protect the environment. They propel medication by using chlor-
ofluorocarbons, which deplete the atmosphere�s ozone layer that protects us from harmful ultraviolet light from the sun.
The elimination of the medication isn�t terrible news, doctors say, because it wasn�t the best way to treat asthma. But many are concerned that some asthma patients � especially those with no insurance or little money for copays and prescription inhalers � will end up in a crisis if they have no rescue treatment.
Patients without insurance can expect to pay $30 to $60 for the asthma medication albuterol and an inhaler. The cost varies depending on the dosage and brand of medication. Primatene was selling online this month for about $25.
Armstrong Pharmaceuticals, which makes Primatene, has said it is working to develop a product that works without chlorofluorocarbons. It is advising its customers to stock up on Primatene before the end of the year to get them through until the new product gets FDA approval.
For asthma sufferers, preventing attacks is key to good health, and patients should be seen regularly and manage the disease with prescription medications, said Dr. Tom Houston, a family physician who is chairman of the Columbus Breathing Association board.
Those who can�t afford to see a doctor should seek care through the Breathing Association or at the Physician�s Free Clinic at Columbus Public Health, he said.
Houston said he has seen recent estimates that 1 million to 2 million Americans use Primatene. Use has been on the decline because doctors have been discouraging it, he said.
The problem with Primatene, which is inhaled epinephrine, is that patients sometimes experience � rebound� problems, including wheezing, when the medication wears off.
�I think it�s a medicine that we�re probably better off without,� Houston said.
Dr. Jonathan Parsons, who is a lung specialist and associate director of the Ohio State University Asthma Center, agreed.
�The problem with these medications is, they work for a very short amount of time,� said Parsons, who volunteers at the free clinic and often treats asthma patients there. �It�s short-lived and not particularly effective.�
Ernie Boyd, executive director of the Ohio Pharmacists Association, said he hasn�t heard of pharmacists getting many questions about the phase-out of Primatene.
�I think it will be a bit of an inconvenience for a few folks, but I don�t think it�ll be a major headache,� he said.
�Most pharmacists will recommend that you get to your physician, who can prescribe albuterol."

East of Eden
"And now that you don't have to be perfect, you can be good"
- Lee
While this isn't a crucial line for the narrative of Steinbeck's East of Eden, it does give us a taste of the kind of moral playground he is dealing with. From men back from the civil war, broken families, devoted parents and children, the novel follows generations of families in the Salinas valley. Also, it's the best book ever written (Dan wrote that). Seriously. It is about pure evil and bliss and greatness and God and pain. On Virtue in the Wasteland, we have discussed it a few times and once dedicated an entire show to it.

Woman of Valor: Clara Barton and the Civil War
When the Civil War broke out, Clara Barton wanted more than anything to be a Union soldier, an impossible dream for a thirty-nine-year-old woman, who stood a slender five feet tall. Determined to serve, she became a veritable soldier, a nurse, and a one-woman relief agency operating in the heart of the conflict. Now, award-winning author Stephen B. Oates, drawing on archival materials not used by her previous biographers, has written the first complete account of Clara Barton's active engagement in the Civil War.
By the summer of 1862, with no institutional affiliation or official government appointment, but impelled by a sense of duty and a need to heal, she made her way to the front lines and the heat of battle. Oates tells the dramatic story of this woman who gave the world a new definition of courage, supplying medical relief to the wounded at some of the most famous battles of the war including Second Bull Run, Antietam, Fredericksburg, Battery Wagner, the Wilderness, Spotsylvania, and Petersburg. Under fire with only her will as a shield, she worked while ankle deep in gore, in hellish makeshift battlefield hospitals a bullet-riddled farmhouse, a crumbling mansion, a windblown tent. Committed to healing soldiers' spirits as well as their bodies, she served not only as nurse and relief worker, but as surrogate mother, sister, wife, or sweetheart to thousands of sick, wounded, and dying men.
Her contribution to the Union was incalculable and unique. It also became the defining event in Barton's life, giving her the opportunity as a woman to reach out for a new role and to define a new profession. Nursing, regarded as a menial service before the war, became a trained, paid occupation after the conflict. Although Barton went on to become the founder and first president of the Red Cross, the accomplishment for which she is best known, A Woman of Valor convinces us that her experience on the killing fields of the Civil War was her most extraordinary achievement.

Read an Excerpt
EPILOGUE: The Circuit
Clara's exploits made her perhaps the most famous eastern woman of the war: "I appear to be known by reputation by every person in every train I enter and everywhere," she wrote in her diary. Because she needed a personal income, she did take to the lecture circuit in 1866, giving variations of an address called "Work and Incidents of Army Life," which enabled her to relive her war experiences in front of an audience. To her surprise, she discovered that she was a gifted platform speaker, with a soft, melodious voice and a poetic cast to her descriptions that enthralled her audiences. Her newspaper notices were almost universally favorable, describing her talks as "animated," "instructive and enjoyable." One journalist stated flatly: "We have never seen an audience more interested or attentive." Lyceums, literary societies, and veterans' organizations affiliated with the Grand Army of the Republic all vied for her services. One GAR post named itself after her, which pleased Clara enormously, since she regarded herself as a war veteran.
She was so good that she was able to demand, and get, the same fees that Ralph Waldo Emerson, Thomas Wentworth Higginson, and other popular male lecturers received. She commanded $75 to $100 per performance, sometimes plus expenses. Such fees enabled her to earn a handsome net income, as much as $900 in a single month. Occasionally she donated all or part of her proceeds to charities for the poor or to soldiers' funds for widows and orphans, but most of the money she kept.
For two years after the war, Clara crisscrossed the country, speaking in cities and remote towns from Boston and New Haven toMilwaukee and Washington, Iowa. Her grueling schedule found her riding in smoky, monotonous trains by day and often by night, giving a lecture to strangers in a packed auditorium and grabbing what sleep she could in a railroad hotel before setting off again. Sometimes her accommodations were terrible. "Fearfully dirty room," she wrote in Dixon, Illinois, "filthy, the whole house so, could not sleep for filth and stench." She survived a winter train wreck between Decatur and Jacksonville, Illinois. When the train jumped the track, Clara found herself on the ceiling of an upside-down coach, pinned down by a hot stove, with coals scattered all over her. Atwater, who accompanied Clara as her assistant, helped her out of the smoking wreckage into the icy wind. Bruised, burned, and visibly shaken, she nevertheless proceeded to the next town, where a railroad superintendent gave her $50 for her loss.
Those who attended a Clara Barton lecture saw a small, slender, feminine woman, dressed perhaps in her light blue traveling dress, still looking younger than she was. She would stride to the podium to read her speech from a carefully prepared text, written in large, round script. At first her voice would be low and gentle, but then it would swell into singsong eloquence.
She spoke candidly about the inhibitions that had kept her from the field in 1861 and early 1862. "I struggled long and hard with my sense of propriety," she said, "with the appalling fact that I was a woman, whispering in one ear, and groans of suffering men, dying like dogs, unfed and unsheltered, for the life of the very institutions which had protected and educated me, thundering in the other. I said that I struggled with my sense of propriety, and I say it with shame before God and before you, I am ashamed that I thought of such a thing."
Then she transported her listeners back to Fairfax Station just after Second Bull Run, where she and her colleagues had labored among the wounded for three straight days and nights. She brought tears to many an eye when she told how she had found Hugh Johnson dying of an abdominal wound, had pretended to be his sister, and held him all night before putting him on the train. She took her readers on to Antietam, where a soldier had been shot dead while she cradled him in her arms...to the Lacy House, where the wounded lad of four words kept telling her "you saved my life"...to the bloody plain before Marye's Heights, where Sergeant Plunkett had saved the flag even though both of his arms had been blown away. As she moved from point to point in her narrative, there were often "outbursts of laughter over some ludicrous picture she was holding up before them," as one listener said. Perhaps it was the story of how she had shamed into submission the hardened mule drivers who had challenged her authority in 1862. "But when some brave scene poured forth in words of masterly eloquence," the listener said, "the applause was deafening." She recalled Belle Plain, too, and Fredericksburg in 1864, and the macabre stockade at Andersonville"that eternal blot on the pages of humanity." When she spoke in Connecticut, she added a section on Atwater, the keeper of the death records," who still stood "unpardoned, a prison convict at large, deprived of his hard earned record as a soldier by dishonorable discharge, unrewarded for his services, disgraced," a boy "ruined in health, maligned, abused and persecuted, but still, unbroken in principle."
Why, she liked to say, had she talked so long about her "own little personal doings in the war"? "It is for this," she said: "to show you that from first to last I have been the soldiers' friend and have an honest right to speak for him." She was indeed "the soldiers' friend," having won the undying love, respect, and gratitude of countless thousands of veterans with whom she had served in the Army of the Potomac and the Army of the James. Wherever she spoke, the veterans turned out to cheer her and listen, transfixed, as she recalled their experiences together and their shared sacrifices. She praised the hard-working army surgeons who had served with her, and she exhorted everyone to look after the widows and orphans of the Union dead. When she spoke in the Midwest, she described meeting a destitute widow, with three small children, who had lost a husband and three sons in the war; one of the sons had starved to death at Andersonville. Clara reminded her audiences that the work of the Civil War remained unfinished as long as there were widows and orphans in need.
She was generous in praising the other women of the war, with whom, on the lecture platform at least, she felt bonded in a powerful sisterhood. During the war, she had stopped taking female assistants with her to the battlefront and hated sharing her patients and hospitalher power and her glorywith other women. In one lecture draft, speaking of the women of the war in the singular, she described how the Union woman had stood up "on the power" of her femininity and declared that the dangers to the country were her dangers, the perils to its armies her perils, the suffering of its defenders her suffering, the ruin of its government her ruin. She had bade her husband and sons to go fight in the army while she worked in her husband's place "in the field or the workshop or plied her needle day and night, took the covering from her bed, the carpet from her floor, the last curtain from her window, to send to some far away field, a hospital where perchance his wasted wounded form was lying." The woman of the Union had also organized relief societies in every town and village. She had "supplied the material" for the work of the U.S. Sanitary Commission and the Christian Commission, which had earned her the wonder and admiration of every civilized nation on earth and had enabled her to "set the world an example easy to follow but hard to surpass through all future time and generations." Too, breaking the restraints of military etiquette, the Union woman had "made her way into every hospital" and even followed marching armies "far out upon the dusty road and on to the fighting field." As she labored for "liberty" and "humankind," Clara said, "she forgot even the argument which had always met her advancing footstep whichever way she turnedwomen are well enough in their placeswives and mothers and nurses at homekind and tender but weak and unreliable and worth nothing in an emergency."
Clara did not say so, but the women of the war had done more, much more. Breaking the shackles of strict domesticity in unprecedented numbers, they had entered government service, secured retail jobs, and toiled in war-related industry; they had replaced male teachers who had joined the army and had run farms in the absence of army husbands. They had taken to the stump in support of emancipation and the Union war effort, had campaigned for Lincoln and Republican candidates, and had formed the National Women's Loyal League, which gathered 400,000 signatures in support of the Thirteenth Amendment and which taught women invaluable lessons in organization for the postwar years. On top of all that, some 400 uninhibited women had even enlisted in the Union army disguised as men.
Women, black and white alike, had made equally impressive gains in the male realm of military nursing. According to Jane E. Schultz, more than 18,200 women had worked in Northern military hospitals as paid matrons, nurses, laundresses, and cooks. Their service eroded the popular idea that women's war work ought to be strictly voluntary, an extension of the home. Approximately 3,214 women had served in Dix's department alone. Among the laundresses and cooks, as Schultz points out, were some 2,000 black women, many of them escaped slaves. An estimated 2,000 other women had toiled in army hospitals as unpaid volunteers and independents like Clara. In sheer numbers alonemore than 20,000 all toldwomen hospital workers had made an indispensable contribution to the Federal cause.
By invading a hitherto male domain and proving that they could function ably there, Union women helped bring about a profound change in American nursing itself. Impressed by their wartime record, the president of the American Medical Association, Samuel Gross, urged the United States to train a corps of women nurses equal to that produced by the Nightingale Training School in England. Toward that end, several women who had served in the 1862 hospital transport service led postwar efforts to set up women's nursing schools in the United States, the first of which opened in the 1870s. Regarded as "a menial service" before the war, nursing became a trained, paid profession for women after the conflict.
In no comparable previous period had American women demanded and won so many new opportunities in the field of nursing and medicine, teaching, retail sales, government employment, and political activity. Even if such gains did not fundamentally alter what one author called "the gender hierarchy of northern society," they did offer women more options for employment and chances for personal fulfillment than they had had when the war began. While it was true that Clara and other women actually lost their government jobs in the year immediately following the war, the number of women wage-earners in the 1860s rose by 60 percent or more. By war's end, Clara told a group in Boston, the American woman was at least "fifty years in advance of the normal position which continued peace and existing conditions would have assigned her."
What was more, the war had given Clara and her entire generation of women a new sense of worth. "Only an opportunity was wanting for woman to prove to man that she could be in earnest," Clara declared, "that she had character, and firmness of purposethat she was good for something in an emergency." The women of the war had not only demonstrated their competence to men, Clara believed, they had also proved it to themselves. By expanding the limits of what was possible, they had "dug grand and deep and laid firm and forever the cornerstone of future womanhood."
Clara also took a bold feminist stance on the platform, in the process revealing the ways the war had shaped her political views. She had always, she said, been "at heart and long before the idea took shape in words a firm and indignant supporter of women's right to all privilege that any rational beings could enjoy." But her wartime friendship with Frances Gage, plus her own liberating achievements, transformed Clara's quiet beliefs into open advocacy. At the lecture podium, she proclaimed her emphatic support for "perfectly equal rights" for women, including the right to vote, and she shared the platform with Susan B. Anthony and other feminist leaders at women's conventions.
On one postwar issue, however, Clara clashed bitterly with some established leaders of the woman's rights movement. That issue concerned the political rights of the former slaves, the "three millions of God's poor neglected, long-abandoned, late-remembered, down-trodden children of the dust," as Clara called them, whose cause she ardently defended. Her friendship with Fanny Gage and her contact with blacks at Port Royal and Andersonville had made her acutely sensitive to the plight of the freed people, so much so that Clara asserted that black men ought to have the vote even before women did. Clara said as much at a convention of the Equal Rights Association, held in New York in 1869. Invited to speak on the war, her sphere of work, she defended black suffrage as "a part of the war," an extension of emancipation, pointing out how much Southern blacks needed the ballot to protect themselves from their former masters. In effect, as she said later, she told the convention, "Finish my work first, then I am ready with heart and soul for yours."
With that, Clara took sides in a fierce debate within feminist ranks about the timing of women's suffrage demands. The debate focused on the projected Fifteenth Amendment, which sought to protect the former slaves by enfranchising black men. The amendment did not include women, black or white. One women's rights group, led by Julia Ward Howe, endorsed the amendment, agreeing with its Republican framers that black suffrage was already controversial enough and would go down to defeat if women's suffrage were linked to it. Better, they believed, to get the blacks enfranchised first. Clara's friend, Fanny Gage, agreed with this position. Another feminist group, led by Anthony and Elizabeth Cady Stanton, opposed the amendment as "an open, deliberate insult to American womanhood." Anthony and Stanton considered it extremely unfair that uneducated black males should gain the elective franchise while educated white women were denied it. The struggle between the two women's groups reached a climax at the 1869 convention, where Anthony and Stanton tried but failed to unite the delegates behind a projected Sixteenth Amendment that would enfranchise women. Shortly after that, the Anthony-Stanton faction formed the National Women's Suffrage Association, whose leaders and members were mostly women and whose goal was to rally national support for a woman's suffrage amendment. The rival group, with the endorsement of well-known Republicans and reformers like Thomas Wentworth Higginson and Frederick Douglass, then founded the American Woman Suffrage Association, which made a point of seeking male support.
Word reached Clara that some feminist leaders thought her speech at the 1869 convention had degraded their sex. She fervently disagreed. How, she asked, could she, who was "well fed, warmed & clothed with the privilege at least of appealing to the law" if she were in danger, put herself before "the thousands of hungry Negroes"she had seen many of them in southwest Georgia"waiting in fear, trembling and uncertainty all through the South, surrounded by an enemy as implacable as death"? Their need for the ballot was urgent. "I only meant to be understood like this," she told Mary Norton: "no person in that house would or could be more rejoiced than I to see the franchise bestowed upon every person capable of using it without regard to race, color, or sex, but if the door was not wide enough for all at onceand one must wait, or all must wait, then I for one was willing that the old scarred slave limp through before me.... I had no heart to pull or thrust him back in spite because he was already in advance of me, but I should claim the right to go next, and immediately. This might have been all very unwise, but it was like me, and I could not take any other ground. Heaven knows I have no desire to degrade my sex...but the cause is not to be hastened by quarreling with men as men, nor with races nor with anyone."
The last line underscored another crucial element in Clara's feminism. Because she had "identified with men" since childhood, she refused to quarrel "with men as men" and rejected an antimale stance of any kind. Indeed, she expressed her sympathy for men and believed that they would one day accept women as their equals. "Man is trying to carry the burdens of the world alone," she insisted. "When he has the efficient help of woman he should be glad, and he will be."
Even so, she was not going to beg men for rights that ought to have been hers at birth. Once, when asked to sign a petition asking for women's suffrage, Clara indignantly refused. "Of whom should I ask this privilege?" she demanded. "Who possessed the right to confer it? Who had greater right than woman herself? Was it man and, if so, how did he get it? Who conferred it on him? He depended upon woman for his being, his very existence, nature and rearing. More fitting that she should have conferred it upon him."
For Clara, the lecture circuit had its moments of genuine surprise, which made all the controversies and arduous traveling worthwhile. In Cleveland, where she lectured to "a splendid house," John Elwell called on herwith his wife. Four times breveted for bravery in the war, he still walked with a limp. He had hurt himself again in back-to-back accidents at Elmira in 1864: first a carriage in which he was riding had overturned, hurling him against a stone step and breaking many bones; not long after that he had stumbled while descending the steps from his office and had fallen head forward, refracturing the leg he had broken on Hilton Head. When the war ended, he had come home to Cleveland and had taken up law and medicine again. He was delighted to see Clara, and over the years wrote her passionate and tender letters recalling their love affair in 1863.
During one address in a town west of the Mississippi, as she recalled Antietam and the bullet-ridden farmhouse hospital to which she had brought desperately needed supplies, Clara told how the surgeon in charge had toiled among the dead and dying all that bloody day, and how she found him at night slumped at a table, in despair because the single candle burning beside him was all the light he had for a thousand wounded men. Clara told how she took him to the door and pointed at a lantern glowing in the barn, saying that she had brought four boxes of them. The surgeon, she said, was too overwhelmed to tell her thanks. As she spoke, a gentleman sprang from his chair, leaped on the stage, and told the audience: "Ladies and gentlemen, if I never have acknowledged that favor, I will do it now. I am that surgeon."
In another lecture, held in the hall of a local YMCA, Clara's audience was especially enthusiastic. When she reached the end with a poetic tribute to the "dead on the field of battle," people were amazed to discover that she had spoken for an hour and a half. Afterward, as Clara shook hands with well wishers, she noticed a man approach the platform with his arm around a little girl; he wore a light blue soldier coat and walked with a limp. Something about his manner, and his lined, weatherbeaten face, jarred Clara's memory. She excused herself and strode to him with her hand extended.
"Have we met before?" she asked.
"Yes," he said, "three times."
Still clasping his hand, Clara said quietly, "Well, tell me."
"At the battle of 2nd Bull Run when I was shot through the body and had lain on the field for days with nothing to eat, you came out of the woods and met the wagon that was taking me off and climbed up onto the wheel and fed me."
"I remember", Clara said softly, and waited for him to continue.
"Before my wound had entirely healed," he said, I rejoined my regiment at Falmouthand the next day went to the battle of Old Fredericksburg, had this leg shattered in the charge of Saturday and lay out on the field in the cold till Monday nightmy hands and feet were frozen. When we got over the river there were so many wounded there was no shelter for us. And you had the men scrape the snow off the ground and gave us warm drink and kept hot bricks about us all nightyou had them heated in the camp fires."
"I remember," Clara said, her lips trembling a little.
"I lost you then for nearly two yearswhen one terribly hot day in front of Petersburg, when from our marching nearly our whole brigade fell with exhaustion and sunstroke, I among the firstfor I hadn't the strength I had at Bull Runand while I lay there on the ground you came with whiskey & water for us all and had me taken to the hospital tents and you bound my head in ice and I was too crazy to tell you that I knew you but I didand your care saved my life."
When it was clear that he was done, Clara withdrew her hand from his and touched the cheek of the child standing next to him. "And is this your little girl?"
"Yes," he said, running his hand through her hair. "She is almost three years old and we call her Clara Barton."
Scores of other veterans also named their daughters after Clara. There was Clara Barton Leggett, daughter of Lieutenant Colonel Robert Leggett, who had lost his leg on Morris Island and credited Clara with saving his life. There was a Clara Barton Whitaker, a Clara Barton Thompson, a Clara Barton Hoffman, a Clara Barton Clausson, and a Clara Barton Bergh. Sally Gardner, wife of the splendid young man whom Clara had nursed after the Baltimore riot and who had been killed at the Crater, wrote Clara that a daughter had been born after his death and that she was named Clara Horace Gardner. Harry and Mary Barnard, the young lovers of Antietam fame, had married after Clara had left them in Frederick, Maryland; their first child, Clara Barton Barnard, was born in 1864. Before long, there were young Clara Bartons all over the United States, from Massachusetts to California. In these young women who bore her name, the spirit of childless, spouseless Clara lived on.
According to Union army surgeon F. H. Harwood, Harry Barnard retained a romantic, sentimental view of war, once telling his young children: "War is the scourge of tyrants, the shield of the oppressed, the nurseling of brave men and lofty deeds; the theatre where heroes enact melo-dramas on the world's stage to the thunderous music of bursting artillery." Clara disagreed with that view, emphatically. The unprecedented violence and ghastly human suffering she had witnessed in the Civil War made her a confirmed hater of "the war side of war" and an eloquent critic of men for waging it. "Men have worshipped war," she asserted, "till it has cost a million times more than the whole world is worth, poured out the best blood and crushed the fairest forms the good God has ever created. Take it as you will, war is'Hell'...All through and through, thought, and act, body and soulI hate it...Only the desire to soften some of its hardships and allay some of its miseries ever induced me, and I presume all other women who have taken similar steps, to dare its pestilence and unholy breath."
Even so, for the rest of Clara's long life, it was the Civil War that fired her imagination, the Civil War to which she kept returning in her lectures, her reminiscences, her correspondence, and her dreams. As with millions of others in her generation, the Civil War was the central defining event of Clara's life. She discovered in nursing and the relief of suffering a real purpose to her existence; after years of searching, she had found her calling. After the war, she became a "professional angel" and humanitarian whose relentless will, ambition, and sense of duty took her to war fronts in foreign lands. She went on to found and become first president of the American Association of the Red Cross, thus institutionalizing the nursing and relief work she had begun in the Civil War. At the age of seventy-seven she was still in the field, serving in hospitals in Cuba during the Spanish-American War. As she lay dying in 1912 at the age of ninety, her thoughts perhaps leaped back to the war in which her life's work had begunback to that troubling time in 1861 and early 1862 when she had wanted desperately to serve her country but had been held back by societal restrictions on women going to the battlefield. Her last words were: "Let me go; let me go!"

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
Stephen B. Oates has mined the letters of Clara Barton and merged them into Civil War history to paint a portrait of a woman trying to find her niche on the battlefield. Clara could be both prickly and passionate. She seemed to find more than her share of conflict with officers, bureaucrats, and even other women involved in nursing. She also carried on an affair with a married officer, daring conduct in that era. She was courageous in caring for the wounded but was easily discouraged and depressed. Oates skillfully weaves in the background of the battles and campaigns she was a witness to and gives vivid sketches of her many friends and foes. Civil war buffs should not miss this portrait of a woman who was a pioneer in battlefield nursing and caring for the sick.

Setting goals is a concept that has been around since the dawn of man, and can sometimes be labeled as something else. Sometimes we call them dreams, wants, or even fantasies. But deep down inside, whether you know it or not, you are setting goals for yourself!
Often times we as people can dismiss our fantasies because they may not seem rational or even relevant to our current daily living. Nonetheless, we should challenge ourselves to look a little deeper at what we're fantasizing about. For example, if I'm dreaming of literally swimming in a pool of money, I am most likely setting a goal to have more money than I can imagine or knowin someone who does and will let me swim in their pool. Whatever the case may be, a goal was set.
In order for anyone to reach a complex goal with the desired outcome, a plan will need to be created and implemented; a plan of action. This plan of action should include quantitative (measurable data) including your goal. If your goal is to be the best at your company, feel better, or just look good, challenge yourself to explore deeper. What does being the best at your company mean? You want to feel better or look good; what feels bad or looks bad?
The more we explore our fantasies, goals, wants or dreams, the more we will learn of our level of desire. If you truly decide your is set on your goal, some tips are listed below to help you succeed.
-Clearly define your goal (try not to attach a timeline to your ultimate goal)
- Set milestones/small goals that lead up to your big goal
~prioritize your small goals (these may contain timelines, but highly not recommended. This is YOUR ultimate dream, the more you stress about it, the less you will love going after it)
- Every 30days (1day a month) Re-evaluate your priority list, and accolades
- Have Fun!

Corporate Governance and Control
128 Pages Posted: 31 Oct 2002
Date Written: October 2002
Corporate governance is concerned with the resolution of collective action problems among dispersed investors and the reconciliation of conflicts of interest between various corporate claimholders. In this survey we review the theoretical and empirical research on the main mechanisms of corporate control, discuss the main legal and regulatory institutions in different countries, and examine the comparative corporate governance literature. A fundamental dilemma of corporate governance emerges from this overview: large shareholder intervention needs to be regulated to guarantee better small investor protection; but this may increase managerial discretion and scope for abuse. Alternative methods of limiting abuse have yet to be proven effective.

LOS ANGELES, CA – A toilet float is one thing, but a float that affects your toilet is not so good.
Los Angeles police are trying to figure out how the body of a Canadian tourist ended up in a hotel's rooftop water tanks.
Elisa Lam, 21, from Vancouver checked into the Cecil Hotel on January 26. Surveillance video from the hotel's elevator looks like she's hiding from someone. And the last anyone saw her alive was January 31.
This week, guests started complaining about problems flushing their toilets, and that`s when a maintenance man found her decomposing body at the bottom of one of the tanks.
Angelenos know the Cecil Hotel for being home to at least a couple of serial killers, including the Nightstalker, Richard Ramirez, who killed 13 people back in the '80s.
Who knows, maybe he's come back.

The other day I was asked at a conference, what advice I have for marketers who work with agencies?
Having been a corporate marketer at a rather large, blue chip financial services firm at the beginning of my career, the sage words of the very first creative director that I worked with, Porky Hefer, immediately sprang to mind.
Porky was the Creative Director of TBWA Hunt Lascaris at the time, and I'll never forget the words he shared with me first day we met in a radio recoding studio in Green Point.
Straight after being introduced to him he said, "Listen Cherry, you may sign off on a budget and have the responsibility of drinking a few cold beers at the end of all of this when the work is finished, but let me give you some advice. I'm the creative director on this job, I work best without interference . Your job, if you've done it right, is to drink coffee – make small talk with the producer and let me craft this thing to best answer your brief."
As a marketer, your job should be done when the brief gets sent to the agency.
So my advise for marketers – learn to write really good, clear briefs – hire agencies that you respect and get along with, and most of all, give the experts, that you have hired to do the job, the space to create magic.

Extremely sad news. Legendary folkie and acoustic genius Bert Jansch has died.
The Scotsman's late Summer shows were cancelled due to poor health and it has now been confirmed that the great man has succumbed to his illness at the age of 67.
Although he was sick for a time the news still comes as a shock especially seeing as Jansch only recently (July 24th) formed part of a bill containing Joanna Newsom and James Vincent McMorrow in Marley Park.

Authorization Responsibilities of the 4-H Name and Emblem
The 4-H Name and Emblem is a Federal mark, protected by 18 U.S.C. 707, and is entrusted by Congress to the Secretary of Agriculture. The Secretary has delegated responsibility for the proper use of the 4-H Name and Emblem to 4-H National Headquarters, which resides in the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA) within the United States Department of Agriculture. The 4-H Name and Emblem is intended to represent the ideals of the 4-H Youth Development Program. 4-H National Headquarters delegates state level authorization to the State Extension Director at each Land Grant University. 4-H National Headquarters provides standards and support to the state and local 4-H offices responsible for using and authorizing the 4-H Name and Emblem.
State and Local Responsibilities
State 4-H offices (through their State Extension Director) are responsible for any 4-H Name and Emblem authorizations that cross local jurisdictions but are contained within the state. Local 4-H offices (through their State 4-H office) are responsible for any 4-H Name and Emblem authorization restricted to their local area of jurisdiction.
Chartered 4-H Clubs and Affiliates are authorized to use the 4-H Name and Emblem:
- For their own educational and or informational purposes
- On materials which are originated, requested, purchased, distributed or sold by them within their local area (cannot cross state borders without National authorization).
Local Fundraising
Local fund raising programs using the 4-H Name and Emblem may be carried out for educational purposes but must have the approval of the local 4-H Extension office. Statewide fund raising programs using the 4-H Name and Emblem may be carried out for educational purposes but must have the approval of the state 4-H Extension office.
4-H offices are to ensure that all uses of the 4-H Name and Emblem adhere to the Federal guidelines. 4-H offices are to notify 4-H National Headquarters of any improper use that falls outside of their local and state jurisdiction.
Authorizations, when issued, will be valid only for specific purposes and for specified periods of time. Any use of the 4-H Name and Emblem is forbidden if it exploits the 4-H Program. The 4-H Name and Emblem cannot be used to imply endorsement of commercial firms, products or services. Granting authorization to an individual or organization for a specific use does not preclude granting similar authorization to another individual or organization for the same or similar purpose.

Bedford approves ban on device use while driving
Bedford has joined Arlington and Grand Prairie in adopting an ordinance prohibiting drivers from using handheld devices — which includes texting — while driving.
The City Council voted unanimously last week to adopt the ordinance that makes it a Class C misdemeanor to use handheld devices to read, write or send text messages, emails or access the Internet while operating a vehicle. Violating the ordinance, which is now in effect, carries a $200 fine.
Police Chief Roger Gibson told the council that a citizens satisfaction survey showed that over 90 percent of residents either support or strongly support an ordinance to curb distracted driving.
"This has been on our radar for a long time," he said.
Gibson said that research shows disturbing statistics. For instance, the National Highway Transportation Safety Administration says that texting while driving has about the same effect as consuming four beers.
And of the 3,377 deaths in traffic crashes in Texas in 2013, 460, or 14 percent, involved a distracted driver, according to the Texas Department of Transportation.
"The numbers are staggering; it's pretty darn scary," Gibson said in an interview.
Bedford is preparing to launch a campaign in conjunction with the library to educate the public about the ordinance and the dangers of distracted driving. Information will also be on social media sites and electronic signs throughout the city, he said.
During Tuesday's meeting, council members spoke in support of the ordinance.
Dr. Roy Turner said it is unfortunate that some things must be legislated.
"It's a shame that we even have to consider this ordinance. This is common sense. Why put yourself in a compromising position? This is something that we should not have to legislate," Turner said.
Bedford's ban on using hand-held devices came a little more than a week after state Rep. Tom Craddick, R-Midland, introduced legislation calling for a statewide ban on texting while driving. Craddick said recently that 38 Texas cities already have bans but that there is a "patchwork" of ordinances that confuses drivers.
"The Texas Legislature has a responsibility to give our law enforcement officers the tools they need to make our roadways safer," Craddick said in a recent email to the Star-Telegram.
Four years ago, the Legislature voted to ban texting while driving, but Gov. Rick Perry vetoed the bill, saying it was "government micromanagement."
Gov.-elect Greg Abbott has also said that he opposes a statewide ban.
Critics have also questioned whether police will have enough proof of a violation to write a ticket.
In Arlington, during the 12 months that ended Sept. 30, police wrote a total of 381 tickets — 318 for motorists caught using a wireless device in a school zone and 63 for drivers improperly using a device outside a school zone.
There are some exceptions to Bedford's ordinance, such as people using their phones in hands-free mode or as GPS devices affixed to their rear-view mirrors.
And emergency personnel are exempt from the ordinance.
This article contains information from the Star-Telegram archives.

This research article by Nicholas Dynon in this April's issue of the peer-reviewed China: an International Journal analyses the largely overlooked role of the Communist Party of China (CPC) in the promotion of "socialist spiritual civilisation" in contemporising the exemplary role of the Chinese state and in informing the state's efforts to rehabilitate China's cultural traditions.
Drawing material from handbooks, newspaper articles and posters published between 1996 and 2002, it may be argued that the ability of the Party to reclaim the achievement of "civilisation" as an ultimate goal in Chinese history has a direct impact on its continuing pursuit to underwrite its long-term legitimacy. The article departs from the existing scholarship to locate the CPC's civilising discourses within an historical context that predates the apotheosis of the CPC itself and links them to the sacred mission of maintaining the Chinese civilisation-state.

Exposed beams give modern homes so much of their character and charm—but they also provide some of their toughest problems because of the beams' exposure to the elements.
At one time or another, all mid-century modern homeowners get surprised by hidden dry rot bringing on a sorry case of dirty, rotten beams.
Dry rot can literally eat away a wood beam, reducing its strength and integrity and threatening the structure of your home.
A beam's vulnerability depends on orientation to the sun, its exposure to rough weather, and how well it's been maintained. Eichler homes are affected mostly in outside atriums and carports, Strengs at their overhangs.
But what are dry rot's telltale signs—and what's the cure?
The answers to those questions are at the heart of our latest home-improvement story, a sneak preview of the new winter '13 issue of CA-Modern. To sidestep being eaten out of house and home, learn more about beam decay and prevention by reading 'Those Dirty, Rotten Beams.'

The following information is an excerpt from the whitepaper 'Best Practices in Talent Assessment' by Dan Harrison, PhD, of Harrison Assessments International ©2008 Harrison Assessments International. For a copy of the full report, please email us.
If a behavioural assessment report simply describes the person's behaviour or personality, each interviewer or interpreter will assign their own meaning to the behaviour or personality trait, usually based on their own bias rather than a formula of job success factors.
This seriously detracts from the benefits of job assessment. The report must be focused on the specific job requirements and provide an overall score related to the suitability of the person's overall behavioural patterns in relationship to the specific job. This must be such that it is easy to understand and not left to the interpretation of the person reading the report.

Orange Sneakers that glow in the dark...
"How far that little candle throws his beams! So shines a good deed in a weary world."
― William Shakespeare, The Merchant of Venice
Got your running shoes on? Have to prepare for the race. Every day training for endurance and building up your stamina...you hit the streets early. Are you wearing your orange sneakers? They shine in the dark. Can God find you? Have you invited him on your 'run'?
The second candle we light this week is the Candle of Grace. In preparation we can begin moving through this week defining and naming our deeper more specific desires. Pause as you pray and light this second candle. The first one represents HOPE and this one GRACE. Breathe and place your trust in Him each day. Whenever darkness surrounds you, or you feel trapped and defeated... hear the words, "God will come to save me." The grace we ask for is to hear the promise and invite God into those dark places in our life where we truly need him. Ask and you will receive. "Lord, bring your power of light and come into this place in my life, into the darkness that pulls me deeper down...and come here and save me."
Each night this week stop and look over the day and its happenings and recall if you called God into your day with trust and confidence that He will bring His light into you. You know have two candles burning brightly in your advent wreath. Know that He will come to save you if you only stop and ask Him into your life. It takes courage and I know you have it.
There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever." Revelation 22:5
