Back To The Suture: A Stitch in time? NEIN!/
Happy New Year you damn dirty apes! Smoke if you got 'em!
Wouldn't it be great to be able to hop into a time machine and go back to the late 70s/early 80s to experience the goth subculture in its heyday? You could talk to goth icons before they made it really big, corner the vinyl market, maybe even bring some money with you to finance giving that obscure artist you love that big push you feel they always deserved. You may even end up in some of those iconic photographs from back in the day. Oh how wonderful it would be...
You know what's coming next. It may be a new year but my intros always lead to a "or is it?" moment. Do I have to say it. Really?
If those silly new colour text squares are good enough for Facebook then why not here too? Except black text in a better font. Because goth 'n' shit.
There, I hope you're happy. Now we have that out the way lets talk time travel. Or in this case (as actual time travel doesn't exist yet) trying to re-create the things that have been today and why it never works.
Traveling Back
Ultimately even the most well-intentioned attempt at doing this won't work unless you keep your greasy little future world opinion out of it. While traveling back in time allows you to pollute the timeline, your future world view will pollute a re-creation of it today. Only if you take it from a sterile, fact-based perspective will you come close to getting it right and even then you still have the benefit of hindsight that people living through it back then never had.
A modern insight means you can cherry pick what you decide to put on show, most likely influenced by what became historically popular and very likely what you choose to highlight from that based on personal preference. So even if you do it purely by the facts, you end up only choosing the facts you want to show. This can create a false image of what things were really like back then.
If I were to re-create a picture of goth cultural history I know ethereal would be given a seat way at the back of the bus (I'm not a fan), coldwave would sit closer to the front (I am a fan), the Batcave's importance would be reduced (or everything else elevated to match it because they were all important) and the 90s would actually be respected and much more prominent (thats my era). All of it based on facts and evidence but it certainly paints a different picture to what most people accept to be what goth was like in the past. All because of how I see it and what I prefer.
This is Suspiria. A 90s goth band.
If it were up to me they'd be worshiped more than Rozz Williams.
Opinions (even my own) taint everything. My perspective comes from a different place to everyone else. But that doesn't mean different opinions and perspectives aren't important. What is important is to listen to as many as possible and never assume one "expert" should have more say than anyone else. If the things many people say match up and are evidenced in historical facts, its likely to be true.
I have said it once and I'll say it again - consult multiple sources and make up your own mind. Don't let a single source decide what goth and the goth subculture are for you. Seriously, if you aren't even willing to do a little research into this thing that you "love", "is where you belong" and "is a part of you" then why the hell are you here?
Re-Writing History
Boy have I seen a lot of this going on of late. But its nothing new. People have been trying to do this for years, often out of ignorance, sometimes to push a personal agenda. But not always. Sometimes something that happens locally will influence how they think history must have happened before they came along. This can be done in positive ways, negative ways and applying modern standards for either.
The positive way (ie - seeing the world through bat-coloured glasses) is to over-emphasize the importance of certain things or to apply positive modern standards to the past.
A local example (for me) is Proscenium - the "goth" club in Adelaide which ran from early 90s to early 2000s. A lot of younger people today hear stories and assumed it was a goth haven where everyone dressed in black and it was 100% goth 100% of the time. The reality is at best it was goth one night a week (Thursday) and had some goth played on Saturday which was mixed genre. The Friday night was indie night and a mostly different crowd went to that. They tried an 80s night at one point on a Wednesday but it never worked out. They also used to have huge events like raves and hip hop nights (often in place of Saturday nights which pissed off the regulars as they were never announced to us in advance so we knew to stay away) because they made a ton of money. If it wasn't for the owner treating it as his hobby farm/tax write-off it would have closed years before it did. Also a lot of people dressed in colour. It didn't really start doing the sea of black thing until around 2000 when the punks disappeared and all the metalheads turned up.
See? Bat-coloured glasses. The modern standard is people assume it was like how things are today. They don't realize things like metalheads being rare at goth clubs in the 90s because most metalheads usually hated goths and goth music. Also (at least in Adelaide) punk maintained a stronger influence up until the late 90s. That positive modern standard tends to think it was more inclusive than people perceive the goth subculture to be today. I would say the mixed genre stuff was very inclusive (it covered all things alternative) but the goth nights were not.
Lets put it this way... you don't tend to see dance-based attacks or glasses and billiard balls thrown at people the locals deem as being unworthy anymore. I would know - I was one who was deemed unworthy.
Re-writing the negative way... I'm going to start by expanding on the bat-coloured glasses thing. Seeing the past as being too good creates an impossible standard even the real past couldn't live up to. This is how legends are made. Mostly bullshit, a little "I heard someone say", very little fact. So people listen to these stories and think "Why isn't it like that today?!?"
Isn't it obvious? Its all a lie. We can have something pretty awesome today but while people view history with their bat-coloured glasses on, it can never come close to living up to expectation. And thats with a smaller population in the goth subculture in most places now and more things competing for our attention that existed back then.
Modern standards applied back then assume people could find goth music and information about goth bands through word of mouth, zines and mixtapes easy. A lot relied on where you were located. Stuck in a town with no one else into goth? There is no internet to help you learn and find new music. No decent DJs in your town to help educate you? You grow up thinking goth is one thing only to learn its something else years later. Local record stores only stock popular music? You might get a touch of goth in there but nothing beyond the basics. It is nowhere near as easy as it is now. I don't think modern goths could hack it and most of those who lived through it wouldn't want to go back.
Then there is outright making shit up. No, there was no conspiracy for industrial to take over the events in the 90s. The club managers lumped goth and industrial together as they were semi-related and had some crossover appeal when numbers for each were dwindling. It just happened that industrial was on top for a while. Depending on the event, goth can be on top. Depends on the DJs and the crowd. Or even better put goth and industrial in separate rooms. Everybody wins!
Music collecting is easier than ever. Streaming lists, MP3s, cheap CDs on ebay because no one likes them anymore, vinyl for the truly pretentious goth point collector and even cassettes are making a comeback.
Fucking cassettes! Why??? I get why people like vinyl but cassettes? Myself (and many others) lived through the pain in the arse cassettes are. Everything about them has been made redundant. Magnetic tape can be erased by just sitting next to your phone. Moving parts in cassettes break. You have to fast forward/rewind to find a song you want. Making mixtapes took way longer than making an audio CD and you needed a double tapedeck or two single ones and hope the background noise didn't make it sound too shitty. Then there's waiting for the songs you want to come on the radio and missing bits of them because of DJ chatter, tapes ending or hitting record late. Cassettes were used out of necessity only. Plus for Walkmans because vinyl isn't remotely portable.
Do I want to go back to outdated tech options like that? Absolutely not! The past can keep those old relics where they belong. Even as a DJ I prefer digital and CDs. DJing with vinyl is truly an art but an art not worth my learning. Besides I don't own any vinyl. Nor do I want to. I prefer the sound and practicality of CDs.
So cold. So sterile. So beautiful.
DJing with cassettes would be nigh impossible unless you used nothing but singles. I guess vinyl DJing is pretty much the same single-wise but without needing to manually find songs by spooling them up and rewinding.
Goth Evolution
Everyone says the goth subculture is evolving and moving beyond the past. I partically agree and disagree.
I agree that change is inevitable. I agree technology moves forward and that has an impact on the goth subculture. I agree the internet in particular has been a big game changer. The internet has made goth a lot less local and more of a worldwide community.
Where I disagree is where people think its evolving. Pastel Goth and Nu Goth are not the new evolutions of goth, just as industrial (which is its own thing older than goth), cybergoth, gothic lolita and steampunk were not evolutions of goth. Sure, some goths like these things but it doesn't make them goth by default. Nor do they define one as goth. I've seen a lot of things like this come and go over the years. Even the deathrock revival didn't last.
New goth music is still being made by bands old and new. The evolution is happening from within as it always has. 2016 was a fantastic year for new goth music. Don't believe me? Listen to this . And this . And this. In fact, just listen to all of them in the series and Google the bands you like.
Go on, tell me goth music is dead and needs to evolve now. What, you can't? Good.
As for the goth subculture itself, in many ways its evolved to be stronger. I would say in general the participants are more well informed than they used to be because its easier to learn. Sure there is a lot of bullshit out there but you can weigh up multiple sources instead of trusting in the local DJs or elite to dictate how it is. You don't have to rely on being lucky if your local scene gets it and if they don't you can help shape it. People used to put up with a lot more shit from those at the top than they do now. Thats a good change.
The history of the goth subculture is just fine as is. If we want something better then build it today. Pining for the past accomplishes nothing. Would I travel back to live the glory days of the past?
Bonus Time!
Almost forgot! A few articles ago I mentioned how I was bleaching my hair for something in the future. Well here it is...
That happened at Cybermorph at the new venue in November. I even played an appropriately Immortan Joe themed set that night. You can listen to it here. Fun fact : I haven't had my hair dyed black in over a year. I'll likely remedy this soon. Or go ToiletGoth again.
-Aytakk has been active in the goth scene since the mid 90s both online and in real life. He firmly believes in the old line "if you don't get the joke, you are the joke". As well as this he produces music for a couple of music projects: Corpulence On The Catwalk (goth/darkwave/coldwave) and Hypnophile (aggrotech/power noise). He is also a club DJ and nemesis of DJ Jelly.

Unless you are me trying to make them. I don't know why, but these cookies and I are just not friends. For the past 5 years I've tried making these cookies every time around Christmas. Every single time I've had the cookies melt into one large baking sheet full of a cookie. I've used salted butter and unsalted butter. I've made the cookies directly after mixing the dough. I've tired refrigerating it. Nothing fixes this issue.
Except peanut butter, apparently. I wasn't planning on making snickerdoodles in any variety for this baking season, but then I saw a peanut butter recipe and figured, hey maybe one last ditch effort at making this cookies will prove to be successful. Who woulda thought?!
Peanut Butter Snickerdoodles
Source: Crazy for Crust
Servings: 24 cookies
Printer Friendly
- 1 stick unsalted butter, softened
- 1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 3/4 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp. vanilla
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. baking powder
- 1/4 tsp. salt
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 tsp. cinnamon
1. Preheat oven to 350. Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
2. In the bowl of your stand mixer (or with an electric mixer) cream together butter, peanut butter, sugar and brown sugar until smooth. Add in eggs one at a time, followed by vanilla.
3. Meanwhile, combine flour, baking powder and salt together in a bowl then slowly pour into wet mixture until fully combined and a dough has formed.
4. Stir the sugar and cinnamon for the coating together in a small bowl. Scoop balls of cookie dough (around 1 inch balls) and roll in the cinnamon sugar. Place on the prepared baking sheet and create a criss-cross pattern using a fork.
5. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes or until lightly golden brown. Cool slightly on the baking sheet before removing to wire racks to continue cooling.
The only difference between this recipe and the cookies I made is I left the dough in the refrigerator overnight, only because I mixed it up too late to bake the cookies that evening. I am so glad I finally found a way to make Snickerdoodles, even if it does involve peanut butter.

Enter Bird's Name in Search Box:
Species: The Cassin's Vireo (Vireo cassinii) came about after the Solitary Vireo was divided into three different vireo species, these being the Blue-Headed Vireo, Cassin's Vireo and Plumbeous Vireo. All three vireos are seen and recognized in different areas of North America. At different times of the year, migration periods and on winter grounds, these vireos may mix with one another. The Cassin's Vireo can be found in conifer and deciduous forests, parks and woodlands. It behaves in the same manner as the Blue-headed Vireo and can be observed moving deliberately through the branches, in search of insects.
Distinctions: The male and female are very similar looking in appearance. Has large bill with a visible hook at end of upper bill, same identifying features seen in other vireos. Dull gray crown, body and tail feathers, bold white lores and spectacles, two wing bars, green edges of tertials and primaries, greenish flanks and undertail, white throat and breast.
Voice: Nasal sounding, similar sounds to other vireo types, multiple call notes. Sings throughout the day even after breeding season.
Nesting: Three to five white eggs, speckled with brown or black spots. Suspended from a fork in branches of trees. The nest is composed of strips of wood bark, plant fibres and lined with fine grasses and spiderwebs.
|Latin Name
|5.5" 14cm
|9.5" 24.1cm
|0.6oz. 17g
|Vireo cassinii
Distribution: The Cassin's Vireo is seen mostly along the western coast provinces and states. It can be found from northern British Columbia and Alberta to the tip of the California Baja, eastward into Arizona and deep into southern Mexico.
These are links to websites pertaining to the different birding institutions, societies and organizations here in North America. Some of these same sites are a great asset to seeking out knowledge on birds in other regions of the world. Each of these links offer the user different methods to identify birds, whether it be by regions, habitat, appearance or maybe colour. Knowledge on the possibilities of where and what birds might be present are included.
Avibase - the world bird database This site provides the user with a complete list of bird species, broken down per country, or in the example of the US or Canada, per state and province. Here, bird species names are available in other languages, a great asset to be used as a translation of foreign bird names.
ABA - American Birding Association This site represents an organization that maintains official records of all birds species that have been proven to have been seen inside the perimeters of the North American Continent and the surrounding bodies of water. Regular revised versions are posted to keep the bird list current at all times. This is the list used by all serious birders over their lifetime. You may be aware of the movie called the "Big Year". It was with this list that all the competing birders used in an attempt to set a new record as to how many bird species that could be seen by an individual birder in one calendar year.
The description to follow is taken from the AOS Home Page.
AOS - The American Ornitholgy Society is an international society devoted to advancing the scientific understanding of birds, enriching ornithology as a profession, and promoting a rigorous scientific basis for the conservation of birds. As one of the world's oldest and largest ornithological societies, AOS produces scientific publications of the highest quality, hosts intellectually engaging and professionally vital meetings, serves ornithologists at every career stage, pursues a global perspective, and informs public policy on all issues important to ornithology and ornithological collections. AOS is distinguished by its tremendous collective expertise, including eminent scientists, conservation practitioners, early career innovators, and students.
eBird - TheCornellLab of OrnithologyeBird is a must for any individual, who has an interest in birds. This site allows users to sign up and participate in recording birds seen on a daily basis as well as the location, for any bird species seen in the world. In addition, users can use the existing data to search out the location of bird species throughout the year. By using filters, information as to the movements can be determined. Photos can be added to identify individual birds. Migration pattern can be calculated using information by months or years as needed. Range maps can be verified, allowing the users to see where the presence of individual bird species are expected to be at certain times of the year.
NA - National Geographic The Society of National Geographic provides some of the best books available for those who have an interest in birds. The book called "The Complete Birds of North America", is a book recommended to be part of any birders library. This book covers all the native and vagrant species of birds seen on the North American Continent. It provides information on all the birds listed on the ABA bird list. This book goes into great details, describing the individual species and their races. That aside, their website provides wonderful information pertaining to many articles regarding nature.
I hope you will take advantage of these suggested websites. I have used each of them, in one way or another, throughout the years in my quest to better identify
and understand our fine feathered friends.

When the National Quality Forum (NQF) endorses a measure and it is included in federal programs, it is important to learn how the use of the measure affects patient care. Does the measure lead to improvements? Does it cause consequences to patients that were unintended?
"To ensure that we're using measures that truly improve care,
it's important to hear from the field about their experiences with measurement,"
said Helen Burstin, MD, NQF's chief scientific officer. "NQF is committed to working
with those on frontlines of delivering patient care to capture this vital
NQF is launching an initial feedback pilot to determine the
impact of three hospital cost measures. The measures, NQF #2431, 2436, and
2579, assess hospital-level risk-standardized payment associated with a 30-day
episode of care for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), heart failure, and
pneumonia, respectively. In August 2016, the Centers for Medicare &
Medicaid Services (CMS) finalized the measures for AMI and heart failure for
use in the Hospital Value-Based Purchasing Program beginning in fiscal year
2021. CMS previously adopted all three measures for the Hospital Inpatient
Quality Reporting Program.
NQF endorsed these measures with conditions that included NQF soliciting
feedback from stakeholders on the implementation of these measures, in
particular, any unintended consequences. NQF's initial pilot encourages
stakeholders to share their experiences with these measures through the current
commenting tool available on the NQF website. NQF will share this feedback with relevant standing committees tasked with evaluating measures for endorsement.

The art of putting a damn good compilation album together is a fine and quite complex art, based on numerous personal nuances of both the curator and that of the listeners listening habits.
Ofcourse, it's personal, very personal…and where some may be quite happy with an ongoing long term slab of inane radio fodder that wouldn't encourage anyone to do anything but think "hmmm, i've heard that tune before", there is another side that makes you want to check out more from that artist, label and associated acts.
It does need to be noted that the EMI collections of the same name as this Blog post cause me great discomfort….I was working in Subway Records 1983 when the 1st NTWICM was released, mundane, inane, horribly pressed records of capitalistic pop, bad recordings that was Music for the Masses at a certain time. I forget how many of these albums I had to put through a plastic sealer before we could allow them on the shop floor…… I really should have slowed the machine down so that all the vinyl melted!!!
Back to the good stuff…..
It should be the fact that whoever curates an album, knows their stuff and it just makes you want to listen to it again and again forever?
This will be an ongoing blog post of compilation albums I have found over many years that still influence me. There will be links, to previous posts and artists and labels…keep checking and enjoy......

This is a queer errand, to-night's. If I were only more sure.
And now, young fellow, you've proved such a swell comrade-in-arms, suppose we make it a team from now on, fighting against crime and evil.
This hammer is an electrical masterpiece! It can send enough voltage into the strongest steel to blow it to pieces!
I wouldn't swear to it ... Those doodles may be a coincidence! But Sandman and Sandy are going to find out for certain.
Yes, we may be of different nationalities and religions- Protestant, Catholic or Jewish - but together we're all red-blooded, clean, healthy free Americans! You can't beat that combination, Adolf… It's too strong!!
Midnight favors the weary… and the wary. Midnight heralds the path of the sleepless… and marks the scheming of villainy! Midnight is the domain… of The Sandman!
And so - till another time - adieu to the Sandman.
Think you can make it through today without creating an international incident?
When heroes are clowns who jump, run and hop – no honour in service ne'er doctor nor cop.
The Thing that had first impressed me about Dian was her strongly developed Sense of Self. What ultimately captivated me was her gradually growing Sense of others.
Your Mind is that of a Child, and your Structure that of a Monster. But true Monsters are marked by their Intentions. Pleasant Dreams, gentle Brute.
Perhaps it's the company I keep. Brings out the "wild" side in me.
To sing so sweetly and yet be so evil.
People starving on the Streets and we sit here like Kings of the World, throwing around imaginary Money like it was Newsprint. I'll not be Part of it.
Hubert Klein. You are an Observer of the Dead and I have need of their Secrets.
A spider will prey, its web taut with schemes but cannot escape the Sandman's dark dream.
Your clinic of murder has been closed, Dr. Death. License revoked.
I dream in the dark tidals - pools of greed. Where unquenchable appetites shape the churning endless waves. Into a vortex of delirium and hatred.
I am the Sandman. And none can escape my dark dreams.
That's what I find so insidious about the underworld... it's carelessness in its cruelty, accidental victims, and blanket destruction for specific targets...
The dreams have always led me to places I had never been. To mysteries I might never've explored. The sands of time drift over my Life and my desires. Burying me in a world of corruption. A world I wouldn't have known otherwise.
One last thing, Professor Hazzard. You've walked the corridors of dream, have you not? When you go back there again, would you tell them I miss the old dreams, the ones I had when I was younger... the ones that made me what I was?
I've had Dian with me for fifty years. And because of that I've had happiness for all of them. Great sex, too, I might add.
I'll put on my gas mask and limp around like an old fool. Perhaps I'll get lucky... I love you, Dian.
However, an old adventure I shared with your father... one I recently recalled... reminded me never to be surprised by a criminal's stupidity.

1924 Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A Imperial Landaulet
Chassis: 655 Engine: 664
A Brief History:
In 1898, Italy's most famous make of luxury car began through the partnership of Cesare Isotta, a lawyer, and Vincenzo Fraschini, a noted car enthusiast. The two entered a into a business together to import Renault and De Dion-Bouton cars and Aster engines into Italy. In 1900, they released the first car bearing their name sake, a small 2-seater similar in concept to a Renault, but bearing a 5hp Aster engine. After approximately five years of creating increasingly more powerful automobiles, the company hired Giustino Cattaneo as its chief designer in 1905, the man responsible for the design and development of all Isotta Fraschinis through 1933.
Between 1905 and 1914, Isotta Fraschini marketed approximately fifty different models, thanks to the brilliance of Cattaneo. However, the first World War lead to a distinct decline in production, as was the case with many other European manufacturers. Afterwards, with severely depleted funds, Cattaneo created the postwar policy of focusing solely on one model, a luxury vehicle designed to compete with the best that Britain, France, and America had to offer. The result of this effort was the spectacular Tipo 8, released in 1919. It featured an in-line 8-cylinder engine, the first of its kind to be put into series production anywhere in the world.
The Tipo 8A was introduced in 1924 with increased engine size and power, as Cattaneo was attempting to counter criticism that an Isotta was easily outperformed by a Hispano-Suiza. The new engine had a capacity of 7370cc giving 110hp. As Cattaneo had so hoped, the Tipo 8A was one of the most sought after, and therefore priciest models available on the European and American markets. In fact, about one-third of the 1,380 Tipo 8s, 8As, and 8Bs built in the production run were sold in the United States. The chassis started at $9,750, and coach built models retailed for upwards of $20,000 as of 1924, even more expensive than the Duesenberg Model J.
Though Isotta Fraschinis were reveled and highly sought after in the early 1920s, by the end of the decade the Great Depression led to the loss of the US as a viable marketplace. In 1931, Cattaneo released the upgraded Tipo 8B in an attempt to draw American interest back into the company. Magnificent though it was, the car was simply released at the wrong time, and only 30 were sold. The last 8B was completed in 1935, and the remainder of the factory components scrapped. After Cattaneo retired in 1935, the company came under new ownership through World War II. Starved of funds by an unsympathetic Italian government, Isotta Fraschini was liquidated in September 1948.
The Golden Years:
During the pique of its sales, the Tipo 8A automobiles were owned by the upper echelon of both the European and American societies. Adjusted for inflation, an Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A would cost roughly $280,000 today, more than a great deal of supercars on the market. This was due largely in part to the fact that Tipo 8As were only available for purchase from the factory as chassis, thus requiring the owners to send them to wildly expensive coach builders.
For example, the Maharajah of Patiala spent 7,000 pounds Sterling to have the coachmaker Windowers equip his 8A with Saloon coachwork and a camouflage-painted body, as it was only used for hunting. Baroness Maria Antonietta Avanzo, the famed female Bugatti race car driver, had a coupe-spider crafted specially for her directly from the factory. Other owners included Pope Pius XI, who receive his Tipo 8B as a gift from the people of Milan, Prince Luigi Grimaldi of Monte Carlo, the Empress of Ethiopia, Addis Ababa, the Queen of Romania, the King of Italy, Aga Khan, Benito Mussolini, and a host of other European and Middle Eastern kings and princes.
In the United States, Tipo 8s and 8As were owned by many famous celebrities, such as Rudolph Valentino and the "It Girl" Clara Bow, the world heavyweight boxing champion Jack Dempsey, and newspaper tycoon William Randolph Hearst, the real-life inspiration for Orson Wells' Citizen Kane. Clearly, the company's claim that it produced "the Aristocrat of Automobiles" was no joke. As each of the Tipo 8s and 8As had custom coachwork, no two models were ever the same, further reinforcing the air of complete luxury and indulgence for which Cattaneo strived.
The Automobile Offered:
The Tipo 8A was, without a doubt, one of the world's most prestigious automobiles: they served to represent power and wealth. This particular 8A, chassis 655, appeared to remain with the factory from new. According to Angelo Titto Anselmi, the car was sold to Filippo Bolzari of Milan but it is unknown whether the car was ever actually delivered to him, as there are no viable records citing delivery. Though very little is known about its purported original owner, the car appeared to remain with the factory throughout its history. It was kept in the basement of a warehouse off site from the factory. This remote location is believed to be responsible for it surviving destruction along with the factory during WWII.
Chassis 655 had its coachwork done by Cesare Sala, one of Italy's premiere coachbuilders. Sala, together with Carrozzeria Castagna, did the coachwork for more 8As than any other firm at the time. This is in part due to the fact that Carrozzeria Sala, the predecessor to Sala and Castagna, had a board of directors containing Oreste Fraschini, brother to Vincenzo.
The car had additional coachwork updates performed by Carrozzeria Riva. They added solid sidemount covers and special woodwork around 1926. The secondary coach tag found directly underneath original Cesare Sala tag is further evidence of Riva's contribution. Furthermore, this is the only Isotta Fraschini that had 2 coach builders in its construction. According to The Isotta-Fraschini Society, from whom we have a signed letter of authentication, the coachwork on this chassis was likely assembled in January of 1924, making this the earliest known Type 8A and possibly the first example built. This along with needing and example to demonstrate may have been the reasons for Isotta Fraschini keeping this car in their ownership.
In 1993, the Isotta-Fraschini name was revived by coachbuilders Fissore in partnership with Audi. They eventually sold the namesake to Finmeccanica, an Italian company active in the areas of defense, aerospace, and security, wherein chassis 655 was discovered hidden away at an old Isotta-Fraschini-owned location. Its current owner purchased it directly from Finmeccanica and had it imported to the United States for the first time in its life in July of 2016, 92 years after its creation. Finmeccanica told the current owner that the car was produced in 1924 as a demonstration chassis for the factory. As these cars were designed to be driven by chauffeurs, Isotta-Fraschini held training sessions for future drivers, and used this particular chassis as the sample. It also gave them a complete, coach built example to demonstrate for prospective customers.
The rarity of this automobile, in combination with its completely original and untouched appearance, make it a very valuable and sought after addition to only the most prestigious of pre-World War II collections. It is absolutely unique and, according to The Isotta-Fraschini Society, the earliest known surviving Tipo 8A in existence.
This Isotta-Fraschini comes with a binder of documentation, including the Bill of Sale between Isotta-Fraschini and Finmeccanica, as well as the Bill of Sale between Finmecanica and the current owner. The binder also contains The Isotta-Fraschini Society Certificate of Authentication and its accompanying list of known Tipo 8s, 8As, and 8Bs. Finally, there are photocopies of the pages within Isotta Fraschini where chassis 655 is mentioned and photographed (pages 92 and 336).

Product information
The new audiophile standard for closed-back headphones
For audiophiles there wasn't any doubt: When it came to circumaural headphones the very best sound required an open back design. This axiom has now been rendered obsolete by the youngest member of the Sennheiser Audiophile Range: The closed dynamic HD 820 employ an innovative technology that makes them sound breathtakingly transparent and natural. Developed and made in Germany, they offer an incredibly realistic, natural sound field and also stand apart by the extraordinary attention given to every detail of their design. Their soft comfortable microfiber ear pads are hand crafted, providing excellent attenuation of ambient noise, while the robust metal headband includes an inner damping element. Get ready for an unparalleled listening experience.
Into the great wide open
Vivid, wide, transparent, natural. The sound field of the HD 820 is wide open. Which is not what you would expect at all from closed circumaural headphones. With the HD 820 you can explore and rediscover your music in absolute reference-class quality without intruding on the aural comfort zone of others. Thus, the HD 820 not only open up the sound field, but also new places and opportunities for you to enjoy your music.
The technology of transparency
The breakthrough transparent performance of the HD 820 has been achieved through a special innovation: Their legendary Sennheiser Ring Radiator transducers are fitted with unique glass covers. Revealing the great look of the technical component within, this visually striking feature was actually developed wholly in service to the sound: The concave glass reflects the sound waves from the rear of the transducer to an absorber, which results in minimal resonance. Thus, the sound waves are effectively "gone" like they would be in open headphones.
An all-star team of excellent components
Made in Germany, the HD 820 stand apart also because of the extraordinary attention that is given to every detail: From the extra comfortable handcrafted ear pads that insulate the listener from ambient noise, to the silvercladded OFC cables and gold-plated plugs, to the robust metal headband with an inner damping element.
Audiophile connectivity
Only what gets in can eventually get out. That's why the HD 820 come with a specially tuned symmetrical, impedance-matching cable with low capacitance and a balanced 4.4 mm gold plug, which offers superior characteristics in contact resistance, and thus in sound.

When I am asked what value a coach gives to a client the first thing that comes to mind for me is this - no one listens to you like a good coach does. Yes, there are a multitude of things that a coach offers their client however, the number one thing (in my opinion) is the level of listening they offer the client. By level, I mean, not the typical listening level we usually experience in a conversation - the kind where the "listener" is just waiting for the "speaker" to stop talking so they can chime in and tell them their story, that is, if they haven't already interrupted to get it in! I'm sure you know what I am talking about - you've got a migraine, they know someone who had a brain tumor; you want to go to Tahiti and they've been to Bali. Yes, you may say, it is a way to connect and it certainly is however, it is not what a coach is paid to do.
A coach hears what the client is saying and NOT saying. A coach hears the repeated messages that a client sends through the course of a single and often, over multiple conversations and this is something that a client simply cannot do for themselves. A coach is able to bring information to the client's awareness - it is the client's information, just information that they were not consciously aware of. This information often leads to surprising discoveries for the client. That is where the value lies. A coach listens without emotion or any investment in the outcome of the coaching for the client. When I say emotion, I am referring to the fact that when a spouse, sibling, best friend, parent etc. listens to you, they cannot do so without some sort of emotional investment or agenda, it is human nature. A coach is listening to you, for you. and without an emotional agenda or investment. That's why we don't coach our family and close friends!
When was the last time you felt heard in this way? What would the value be for you? Get curious. Sometimes just one coaching session (depending on the client's particular requirements) is enough to bring clarity and awareness to a client. Just imagine how great that would feel! How would getting clear on a particular situation or perhaps a problem where you feel there is only one choice feel? Consider it a gift to yourself to find out. You have nothing to lose and potentially so much to gain.

Feel the Funk - How Burlesque Ignited my Creative Spark
I was in a funk. A big funk. I love to shoot what I do, but I felt I needed to step up my game. Many of my friends told me that I need just suck it up and shoot to shoot. I couldn't snap out of it. I was freshly 46. I was feeling old. I was feeling frumpy. The winter was (and still is) killing me. I kept yelling every time my amazing mother-in-law would call from Florida to ask me how the weather was in Boston. I did some crying, some venting and then I realized "please this is just first world problem shit". Then the email came: "Kristin, it's Angie, I'm coming to Boston. I'm a headliner for The Great Burlesque Exposition. Wanna come and shoot it? I'll get you an all access pass."
Well I thought about it for about 15 seconds and of course I said yes! I not only get to see my bride, Angie, and her talented husband, Brian, but I get to shoot this burlesque show ... MY WAY. No rules. Create what I want. Personal work all the way.
So on February 7th, I headed off to the Hyatt Regency in Cambridge armed with one camera, two lenses and a flash (which I decided I would try not to use). It was perfect timing because in addition to trying to get out of my funk, I have been pondering the idea of doing a workshop in the Texas area called the Foundation Workshop. They give you assignments and you work with a mentor and they help you create a story around your assignment. So I treated this shoot like an assignment that I might be handed if I was at the workshop. I really tried to simply tell a story, using some behind the scenes stuff and the performance part. Shoot less but see more.
And something wonderful happened while I was shooting. I learned about burlesque. I mean, yes, my bride Angie was, and is, an amazing Burlesque Queen. But it was at this shoot that I learned more about it. That it's a subculture. That's it's a fetish and it's history. You know what? It's NOT stripping! It's beautiful. It's comedy. It's performance art through and through. It's liberating. Every one performer there was all natural. NO PLASTIC SURGERY anywhere that I could see. There were all types of women performing. We are talking big, small, young, old, black, white, women AND men! Who knew there were male burlesque dancers? Not me. Also, I was lucky enough to be able to photograph and talk to the famous April March. She has been dancing forever. She's 79! YES YOU READ THAT RIGHT! And I must say that she is as beautiful as ever. She's sparkly.
So what did I take away from this little personal assignment? Well in a world of falsified imagery our perception of beauty is incredibly distorted. It's so hard to see beauty without perfection because we are programmed to thinking that perfection is the new normal. IT'S NOT! We as women have ever-changing bodies. And they are all amazing. Go to a burlesque show. You'll see.
This moment of getting out and shooting for me and seeing these amazing people do what they love helped to remind me that I love what I do. Thank you Angie for inviting me and thank you to everyone performing for being so empowering! I hope you enjoy these images as much as I loved creating them.
To find out more about Burlesque in Boston, you can check out The Great Burlesque Exposition, or The Boston Babydolls. Also check out Angie Pontani, Dot Mitzvah, Bobbie Burlesque, Perle Noir, Bettysioux Tailor, Sheila Starr Siani, Dangrr Doll, Donna Denise or you can read a play by play of the event on The Rhinestone Review Mis Mina Murray's Blog post.
And then, because my weekend couldn't get any better, Angie texted me on Sunday morning to tell me that she was teaching a go-go dance class, and I should come over to photograph it. As a former dancer, I was all over this. It was so easy for me to watch her teach the combination, then learn it myself. From that I was able to predict things that were going to happen before they did. I need to shoot dance more, that's for sure.

the angst of the unknown
That just happened. My youngest son, Owen, started kindergarten today, and I gave a whole new meaning to the term "hot mess."
I look happy in this picture, right?
Well, keep scrolling. The picture below is the one Mike took of me when we walked home and I fell apart. (I didn't appreciate him taking it at the time but it's proven useful for this post, so thanks hubby!)
Y'all I did not see this coming - I just cried a river as Owen carried my whole heart into the school building this morning. Ironically, Owen was lovingly looking at me like, "Mom, it's only Kindergarten. Save your tears for when Cal goes to middle school."
I know I'm "supposed" to be having some kind of celebratory day over the fact that I will now have seven whole uninterrupted hours every day to write and read and do the things that make me feel alive. But,…. maybe that's precisely where some of my tears spring from- the angst of the unknown, of what's next and how God will have me use those hours.
I've been praying all summer that God would show me what's next for us (us being Jesus and me). I've told the Lord he has my "yes" – my yes to anyone, anything, anywhere.
I am inspired – more like desperate- to pour my one little life out for Christ. We've been praying about adding to our family through foster care and adoption. We've been praying about what it would look like to give more of our life away for things that matter, really matter. I've been praying about what to write and what God would have me say.
I have this, well, ache over what God is calling me, us, to next.
And what I've wanted to hear back is "Go, run, do! This is my plan and purpose for you and this is how we're going to do this thing." But all I've felt in response is "Be still and wait" – not the answer I like to hear. At all. I'm prone to producing. Something. Anything. Lord, just give me something to do for you!
During a long walk on the beach I even tried to get my husband to tell me that there was no way God was telling me to wait. I wanted Mike to point to all of the great opportunities on the horizon for sharing the message of the book, and how I surely wasn't hearing God right. But he didn't fall for it. He told me to keep praying and reminded me of how things have turned out in the past when I tried to run ahead of God. Not good.
But over the past week this verse has just made it's home in my heart.
And then there was the beautiful image Ann Voskamp posted on her blog that had my name written all over it. How very sweet of Ann, I thought, to post this just for me.
And on pg. 88 of "Wherever the River Runs" by Kelly Minter - a book I can't put down because it's wrecking me in the way one longs to be wrecked - I read it again, "Waiting on the Lord."
The message was clear but my heart was resistant. "Be still and wait."
By the grace of God, surrender came Sunday morning when a new prayer birthed in my heart. "Lord, I want whatever will draw my heart closer to yours."
He still has my unadulterated yes. But it's not so much about wanting to know what's next as much as it's wanting my life to be so intricately woven with His that my heart will break over the things that break His heart and my joy will be complete in the knowledge that I am His and He is mine.
It's a little funny (or not) how all of this reminds me of how I felt about four years ago when I felt God calling me to write - and about how big and wild and ridiculous it all seemed. I told him over and over again that He had the wrong girl - that I don't know how to write, and I don't have anything to say, and I was scared to death to even try. I may haven even stomped my feet during one of my conversations with God.
But God's faithfulness is bigger than our fears. His faithfulness to me was bigger than my fears over where He was calling me. He listened as I poured out my heart and unbeknownst to me, was melting my fear under the fire of His love – preparing me to trust Him and hold on tight for the ride of my life.
So I am, in a sense, returning to what God needed to teach me in the writing of my first book – that Jesus doesn't want anything from me, He just wants me. And in that wanting and knowing and being known our hearts are awakened to the people and places to which He is wooing us.
I'm still bursting with my every yes. But I'm waiting. For what, I don't know. For how long, I double don't know. Maybe you've been there. Maybe you're there now. With nowhere to go but right to Jesus.
And I'm being reminded all over again that it's a beautiful place, or really, the only place where my ache is satisfied - with eyes on Jesus.

Bill Gates was too busy having tea with the Queen while back at home his always trusty Windows OS was being attacked yet again by a fast spreading worm. He took a moment to comment on the perceived security of Linux and OS X.
Noting the large number of major virus epidemics during the past two years, Gates said that in some ways, "hackers are good for maturation" of the platform, because they have forced the company to develop new inspection techniques for the code.
More and more, Bill reminds me of the Iraqi stooge who claimed Iraq was winning the war when you could practically hear the bombs dropping during his press conferences. Windows has security issues and releasing patches as a way to deal with these problems will eventually catch up with Microsoft.

Object of Current Desire: A Low Back, Long Sleeve Dress
It dawned on me recently that I've been vastly underestimating the value of the sartorial real estate that is my back. As summer gives way to fall, I've been fantasizing about a long sleeve, or 3/4 sleeve, dress with a low scoop back. One that, say, reveals the top half of my back, while anatomically balancing out this exposure with covered arms. I'm envisioning a tea length or slightly longer than tea length dress. One that feels like a classic I could wear season after season (at this change of seasons) and not soon grow tired of.
Let's delve into some inspiration, shall we?
First up, Marilyn Monroe looking, well, the picture speaks for itself.
What I love here is the perfectly calibrated subtlety with which this look works. The dress is black and the sleeves and skirt don't appear too form-fitting or revealing. Her hair is swept back. Message: demure. In fact, from the front, you'd have no hint of what awaits you when she turns around. And then she turns around and you take in that back and the message is instantly: dramatic. It's the drama in it which I am so drawn to when I get dressed. Mastering the art of dress as equivalent to developing an intuitive understanding of what makes a moment, and a sense of the appeal of the unexpected.
Next up, inspiration from the dress Carrie Bradshaw wore in her Parisian rendezvous with her lover's old lover. Seems to me as good an occasion as any for a dress that expresses an intuitive understanding of drama, no? Anyway, there are clear parallels in this look to Marilyn's: a black dress, swept-back hair, subtle bodice and sleeves, and a back that makes the whole look memorable.
Lest you think that such a dress might limit your options in the styling department, here are a few instances that prove there's still plenty of room for creativity with this silhouette.
Here, for example, is a scoop back, short sleeved dress accessorized with opera length gloves. If the sleeves were to come off the shoulder ever so slightly, the addition of the gloves could be so remarkable.
If it's an exaggerated low back you're after, consider using your newly exposed canvas for some smart accessorization as Diana, Princess of Wales, did with a long pearl necklace artfully tied at the back. It's likely the case that the deeper the cut in the back, the harder it will be to wear the dress ubiquitously, but this cut certainly has its merits.
I can think of so many ways to have fun with the back. Pin brooches on around the edges! Wrap a light silk scarf or piece of chiffon fabric and letting it drape down the back! Wear a lace top underneath the dress so that the back appears to be a panel of lace! Now if only I could find the dress!

Wish List: NikeLab Readies a New Set of Air Flight '89s
When Jordan Brand announced the release of the Air Jordan 1 "Pinnacle" earlier this year, I pretty much decided that the buttery leather take on the classic Jordan silhouette needed to find itself in my collection. That is, until I saw that premium price. I don't know about you, but I have bills and definitely can't justify a $400 sneaker price tag.
Now, it seems NikeLab is utilizing the same premium material for a new release of the Air Flight '89. Four new colorways have been draped in luxurious tumbled leather (including that beautiful 'Pinnacle' butta) featuring the famed Air Jordan IV sole unit underneath. Tonal branding appears at the heel and on the tongue, while matching laces complete the pretty.
For now, no release specifics for the new collection have been revealed, but take a peak at the snaps below and check back here for more information as we receive.

!! History Commons Alert, Exciting News
CIA Director George Tenet forms a national security advisory panel that comprises a team of security analysts and is chaired by Admiral David Jeremiah. The panel is, in the words of authors Adrian Levy and Catherine Scott-Clark, "asked to think the unthinkable." The State Department's WMD specialist Robert Gallucci is the official responsible for nuclear issues. Galluccci will comment: "It was all sources, all clearances.… I was the nuclear freak and got briefings set up on the nuclear terrorist thing. Every single scenario was extremely scary and entirely believable. There was lots and lots of intelligence. Put it this way, the US number one enemy was looking more and more like Pakistan."

The Defense Policy Board (DPB) meets in secret in Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld's Pentagon conference room on September 19 and 20 for 19 hours to discuss the option of taking military action against Iraq. [New York Times, 10/12/2001] They also discuss how they might overcome some of the diplomatic and political pressures that would likely attempt to impede a policy of regime change in Iraq. [New York Times, 10/12/2001] Among those attending the meeting are Rumsfeld, Deputy Defense Secretary Paul Wolfowitz, Princeton academic Bernard Lewis, Iraqi National Congress leader Ahmed Chalabi (see 1992-1996), Chalabi's aide Francis Brooke, and the 18 members of the DPB. [New York Times, 10/12/2001; Vanity Fair, 5/2004, pp. 236; New Yorker, 6/7/2004] Defense Intelligence Agency official Patrick Lang will later call the DPB "a neocon[servative] sanctuary," boasting such members as former House Speaker Newt Gingrich, former CIA Director James Woolsey, former arms control adviser Ken Adelman, former Undersecretary of Defense Fred Ikle, and former Vice President Dan Quayle. [Middle East Policy Council, 6/2004] Powell, State Officials Not Informed of Meeting - Secretary of State Colin Powell and other State Department officials in charge of US policy toward Iraq are not invited and are not informed of the meeting. A source will later tell the New York Times that Powell was irritated about not being briefed on the meeting. [New York Times, 10/12/2001] Chalabi, Lewis Lead Discussion - During the seminar, two of Richard Perle's invited guests, Chalabi and Lewis, lead the discussion. Lewis says that the US must encourage democratic reformers in the Middle East, "such as my friend here, Ahmed Chalabi." Chalabi argues that Iraq is a breeding ground for terrorists and asserts that Saddam Hussein's regime has weapons of mass destruction. [Vanity Fair, 5/2004, pp. 232; Middle East Policy Council, 6/2004] He also asserts "there'd be no resistance" to an attack by the US, "no guerrilla warfare from the Ba'athists, and [it would be] a quick matter of establishing a government." [New Yorker, 6/7/2004] Overthrow of Hussein Advocated - Attendees write a letter to President Bush calling for the removal of Saddam Hussein. "[E]ven if evidence does not link Iraq directly to the attack [of 9/11], any strategy aiming at the eradication of terrorism and its sponsors must include a determined effort to remove Saddam Hussein from power in Iraq. Failure to undertake such an effort will constitute an early and perhaps decisive surrender in the war on international terrorism," the letter reads. The letter is published in the Washington Times on September 20 (see September 20, 2001) in the name of the Project for the New American Century (PNAC), a neoconservative think tank that believes the US needs to shoulder the responsibility for maintaining "peace" and "security" in the world by strengthening its global hegemony. [Project for the New American Century, 9/20/2001; Manila Times, 7/19/2003] Bush reportedly rejects the letter's proposal, as both Vice President Dick Cheney and Powell agree that there is no evidence implicating Saddam Hussein in the 9/11 attacks. [New York Times, 10/12/2001] Woolsey Sent to Find Evidence of Hussein's Involvement - As a result of the meeting, Wolfowitz sends Woolsey to London to find evidence that Saddam Hussein was behind the 9/11 attacks and the earlier 1993 attack on the World Trade Center (see Mid-September-October 2001).

Lake Forest College Director of Athletics Jackie Slaats announced Thursday that Pat Kelliher, an assistant men's hockey coach at the College since 2010, has been promoted to head coach. Kelliher takes over for Ryan McKelvie, whose resignation was also announced on Thursday.
"I am thrilled with the opportunity to continue to be a part of the Lake Forest College community in this new capacity," began Kelliher. "Coach McKelvie has been a great mentor and has certainly done a tremendous job in building momentum for the program. I want to thank President Stephen Schutt and Director of Athletics Jackie Slaats for entrusting me with this great privilege. With the quality of education and athletic facilities in place, the College has provided our program with everything we need to be successful. I will continue to work diligently to make Forester Hockey one of the premier teams in the country."
"I'm confident that I leave Forester Hockey in good hands with Pat Kelliher taking over as head coach of the team," began McKelvie. "Over the past three years, I have worked closely with Pat and watched him grow into one of the top young coaches in the country."
"Pat has done a terrific job helping lead our men's hockey team over the last four seasons and we are fortunate to have a coach of his caliber already on staff," commented Lake Forest College Director of Athletics Jackie Slaats. "I am excited about the the current status of the program and trust that with Pat's passion for hockey, knowledge of the game, strong character, and undying work ethic, the team's future looks even brighter."
Kelliher and McKelvie have led the Foresters to a 10-game improvement over the last two seasons and the 2013-14 team recorded the program's best overall record in a decade. Lake Forest finished 15-12-1 overall this past season and posted a 11-7-0 mark in NCHA play, the squad's best conference record in 27 years. In addition to receiving votes in both major Division III men's hockey polls at the end of the regular season, the Foresters also recorded a 10-game unbeaten streak in the second half of the year.
The Lake Forest defense, which Kelliher has overseen since he came to the College, was a key component in the team's recent improvement. The Foresters surrendered 4.14 goals per game in 2011-12 but just 2.84 scores per contest over the last two seasons. In addition to the team's defense, Kelliher has run the Forester penalty kill unit, which has been ranked among the top 20 in the nation each of the last two years.
Kelliher, a Rochester, New York native, graduated from St. Lawrence University in Canton, New York, in May of 2010 and was a member of the Saints' hockey program for four years. He was awarded the Dr. James S. Street Seventh Player Award as a senior for unsung contributions to the success of the Saints' team.
Per College policy, a national search will be conducted, with Kelliher as a candidate, at the conclusion of his interim appointment.

I say 'sorta' because she includes the recipe for her own puff pastry in the book.
I can't find the darn recipe on the net but this is it without the pastry recipe. I used 1/2 box Puff Pastry (not homemade) and Gruyere cheese because I can't get raclette cheese here. My hubby ate it for his lunch but it would make a great appetizer.
Puff Pastry
4 slices thick slab bacon
2 Tbsp butter
1 sweet yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 clove garlic, minced
1 Yukon gold potato, very thinly (transparent) sliced
salt and pepper
1 tsp. chervil (I didn't have/use)
1 cup finely shredded raclette cheese
1) Preheat oven to 375 F and line a baking sheet with parchment (I used my silicone baking sheet). Roll out the dough into a 6 by 16" rectangle. Dock the dough and transfer it to prepared baking dish. Refrigerate 20 min.
2) Render bacon until brown and slightly crisp. W/ slotted spoon, transfer to plate lined with paper towel. In same skillet, melt butter and saute onion/garlic until soft and slightly golden. Remove from pan.
3) Take a very sharp knife and gently score a line 1/2 inch from edge of puff pastry rectangle, all around. Fold up walls and pinch edges of dough to keep walls up.
4) Layer potato slices on top of dough; season with salt/pepper and chervil. Top potatoes with onions and garlic and evenly distribute bacon pieces on top. Finish by layering cheese all over.
5) Bake the tart for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and cheese is bubbling.
