Death hasn't yet gotten it's icy grip around my neck, so fortunately I'm still alive but also still sicker than I'd like to be after 3 days of this crap.
I made it into work today. Mostly because despite how I'm feeling, I still wanted to pick up comics tonight and I didn't think it would be fair to show up at the shop for my weekly 'fix' if I didn't even make it into work.
But also because the longer I'm away from work, the more crap I gotta deal with when I get back. I figured two days worth is about all I can muster the energy to battle to get caught up.
It's been kind of slow, so I'm mostly up-to-speed with everything on my desk now. Yippee.
I want to thank the generic DayQuil I'm dosed-up on for getting me this far today.
I guess my other goal is to spread my germs throughout the office. That way, all the naysayers who didn't think I was really sick will have a taste of my sweet, congested vengence.
While I was couch-ridden, I watched a bunch of movies.
In no particular order, this is what I saw as well as my personal reviews:
Pale Rider
I'm not a big 'western genre' movie fan, but every now and then I find one a really like. This is one of them. Is the Preacher an angel of vengence sent to help the poor miners, or is he a tired gunslinger who just happens along? Who cares! It's got Clint Eastwood with his steely eyes shooting up the bad guys.
The Notorious Bettie Page
I really liked this movie. If you are familiar with who Bettie was, then this is a great movie to get a little background on her. Some T&A, but tastefuly done.
Ghost Rider
I liked this movie when it came out, and I still like it. Not much in the way of Oscar-winning performances but what do you really expect from a leather-clad skeleton with a flaming skull, riding a motorcycle and dispensing fiery justice on evildoers? Good movie for watching when you're sick on the couch.
Ninja Checkmate
A busboy learns the art of Chess Boxing to avenge his father's death at the hands of the Ghost Face Killer (yup! that's where the rapper got his name).
I'm not going to say it was the best kung-fu movie ever, but it did have it's moments. Plus it had a cameo of Siu Tien Yuen who was Jackie Chan's uncle / teacher in Drunken Master.
Hedwig and the Angry Inch
An young East German man has a botched sex-change operation so he can move to the U.S. with his American G.I. lover (hence the "angry inch"), only to have his lover leave him on the day the Berlin Wall came down.
He then forms a rock band.
Lots of poignant moments as Hedwig describes how he feels in the world as not being complete without someone to love, but not really knowing who he, himself, really is.
In a similar vein as Rocky Horror Picture Show, but not nearly as campy. Lots of good music and the story is well told.
I've seen the movie now 3 or 4 times and the stage production once. (It was playing in Calgary last year but I didn't get a chance to see it then)
It's hard to describe this movie and make it sound like you'd WANT to see it, but it really is good and the stage production was incredible. Worth watching at least once.
The Machine Girl
What's NOT to like about this movie?!?
An amputeed Japanese school-girl with a machine gun on her arm, shooting up Yakuza ninjas.
Lots of blood, lots of bad acting, lots of fighting scenes.
Unfortunately I fell asleesp about half-way through, but I've seen it once before so I knew how it ended.
Until next time......

Street Art & Culture
How I love street art & culture. It's for the people, by the people and without pretense. This is a piece I found in East Austin. The juxtaposition of organic inorganic, dark and light. How could I not capture this?!?
If anyone knows the artist tag them please and props to them for the beautiful piece.
What are you loving about street art & culture?

A team favourite here at Purition HQ! Quite simply a taste of the Greek Isles on a plate. Our 'Nearly Greek' Salad makes a superb side dish to any grilled meat or fish or as a meal in itself. Leftovers are great for your salad bowl at lunchtime… if you're lucky enough to have any!
Here's what you'll need and how to do it…
We love this recipe because in the summer months, when you've just about had enough of cold salads and limp lettuce, the combination of broccoli, onions, cucumber and feta bring some real goodness and flavour to the table. Such a simple way of adding excitement and freshness to our old classics; lamb burgers, koftas, steak, beef burgers or a whole roast chicken. I urge you to give this one a go, the family will love it. Can be prepared in advance too (as a cold side dish), so perfect for family BBQ's or if you need a crowd pleaser to take round to your family or friends (remember to point them in our direction when they ask you for the recipe! Find the recipe card on our Pinterest page).
If you don't have any fresh herbs to hand, a sprinkle of dried oregano over the top works a treat. If you have some lovely ripe tomatoes that need using up, they work well in this dish too. Keep a pack of good quality feta cheese in your fridge, it keeps for ages and adds something a bit special to so many 'average' meals… Delicious over any salad or green veggies, crumble some into a frittata, use it to make a salad dressing; add a few squares to your bullet with some olive oil, lemon juice, garlic and fresh basil and/ or oregano and whizz up to make a nice creamy dressing.
When following a clean, low carb diet it's really important to find fresh new ways of serving your food to keep it interesting, whilst it still being good for you. We think our 'nearly Greek' salad does a great job of doing this, adding excitement to everyday nutrient rich ingredients like broccoli and onions... keeping life simple and the family happy and well, through healthy food.
Start your day right, have a healthy, protein filled breakfast to keep you going until lunch, without the need for snacking. Then it'll be time to enjoy some lovely leftover 'nearly Greek salad'.
The dish is served as a side dish to our Lamb Kofta's (which are delicious and can also be made into burgers for the BBQ). Let us know if you want the recipe and we'll post it for you!

text: Today was another travel adventure for the books. Life without data is proving to be rather interesting. To get anywhere, I tap into wifi and google map to where we want to go and the follow the blue line. Well today we were headed to our hostel in Laugarvatn, 3-1/2 hours away. All was going well until we drove 25 MILES down a super remote road that ended up being IMPASSABLE. We had no idea what we were going to do because I couldn't see any surrounding roads on google maps and we couldn't figure out a plan B. I had gotten an Iceland map from a coffee shop we stopped at but nope, no raids on that map either. LUCKILY for some strange reason, Sky's phone roamed and we able to figure out our way to the hostel through another route. Checked into the coolest hostel ever, ate another quick (and expensive) meal and then headed to the not-so-secret 'Secret Lagoon' (Gamla Laugin). So super cool -- and hot!

Kanye West and George W. Bush and the power of the race card
Published on Nov. 18, 2010, on my former blog after an NBC interview with Kanye West brought this issue back up.
As I said at the time, it was a horrible, cheap shot Kanye West took at President George W. Bush in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, when he called the president a racist. There was much -- much -- to be desired about how we handled that crisis (and many others), but it takes it to a whole other level to say the less-than-perfect response was because Bush didn't like black people. It's one of those statements that shuts down conversations more than any other.
Read what some readers said about it at the time here.

Boosting Body Image In Your Classes
One role we have as fitness instructors is educating participants about health and fitness. But how much responsibility do we have for the way class participants perceive their own bodies? And what about the way they perceive our bodies? In fact, our influence is so strong that we have an obligation to help participants—and our colleagues—have a healthy outlook on their bodies.

With four virile young Smith studs newly on the scene and stirring hormones, several young mothers were pushing hard for a celebration feast during which the genders could mingle a-all night long. A couple of them hadn't been impressed when it was pointed out that partying right now would be just a wee bit premature, none of the beef animals were going to be converted into steaks at this time as the herd size needed to increase to meet the community's future needs before the skinning knives came out, or even that a few more preparations for an expected outlaw raid took precedence over social functions. They did, however, settle down some after learning that two more eligible bachelors of the same strong bloodline would be present and interested when we did authorize a hoedown.
Not that they knew what a hoedown might be; their ignorance gave rise to several bawdy jokes.
"Suppose anybody knows how to make music?" I asked the question in passing, not putting much of anything into it. Lauren, Michael, and I were seated on rough-carved log seats in front of our home tent, which was considerably larger than the small travel canvas we used on the trail. There was a bit of crisp snap to the evening air, but the cooking fire radiated enough heat to make the ambience almost balmy despite being nicely burned down to a worthy bed of coals. It was our second night at the Roost; Michael and I would be joining three of the four Smith men on the trail back to Smith Mountain at first light. Hawk Smith would be staying behind, simply because the Smiths weren't about to leave the cattle herd alone with no one else cow-experienced and several large predators still unaccounted for. Lieutenant Blake had reported the demise of the last, late rising bear–a boar grizzly in his prime, thankfully not a mother with cubs. The kids did not need to see baby bears murdered because humans feared their mother. But there was still at least one mountain lion showing tracks. The big cat could obviously leave at any time–a wooden stockade being no obstacle to a kitty with claws–but Blake was far from certain the cougar had pulled up stakes despite all the human activity in the vicinity.
The younger children were kept under the eagle eyes of wary mothers and the older boys were cautioned to explore at least in pairs, with kid-sized spears in hand. Kitty would definitely eat a five year old, given the opportunity.
Also thankfully, the two young boys who'd first spotted the bear knew enough to break the rule and split up, one running to find the Lieutenant and the other keeping an eye on the ravenous bruin. "I was sure wishing I'd had your .358," he'd told Michael, "but my carbine managed to get the job done." Michael hadn't asked for details.
The hide hadn't been worth saving, nor the long-denned animal's meat worth eating. The carcass had simply been dumped over the edge at what was now being called Sendoff Point at the extreme southwest corner of the mesa. Bodies dumped there ended up landing in one of the steaming fissures, getting boiled thoroughly and dissolved in the process. We couldn't have dreamed up a better natural midden.
Lauren stopped turning the spit and announced, "Time to eat!"
We each cut our own slices from the venison roast, mainly because our appetites varied wildly. Lauren's inch thick slab looked positively dainty next to my two inch thick serving, but neither of us could compare with the massive chunk our man carved away from the pitiful remainder. Must have been four pounds of solid protein, right there. He hadn't been eating all that well these past few days, but his need to feed was clearly back in full bloom.
Meat and a little salt, with the deer's haunch still medium rare in the center. That was it, no vegetables or anything else. We had potatoes on hand, but every one that had survived the winter in the Smith Mountain root cellar would be needed for planting, which would need to be done soon. At least, according to Mace, and he should know. Lauren read my mind, though. "Dandelions will be up shortly," she said, "and we'll have some of the finest greens anywhere."
I hadn't known dandelion leaves were edible. It turns out the blossoms make a delicate tea, young leaves are awesome salad greens even raw, though often eaten cooked, and the roots are loaded with nutrients, not to mention capable of some pretty impressive detoxing. Who knew?
True, I had an excuse. For whatever reason, we Gundersons had never seen a dandelion in the Fort 24 area. But they were present here, apparently.
I must have been woolgathering. Michael had already inhaled his mountain of meat and needed to talk. "Ladies," he began soberly, "first of all, I thank you for the fine meal." It was a rule with him never to insult the cook, or cooks in this case. But there was something else on his mind. "Got a confession to make."
Lauren just raised one perfectly arched eyebrow. I had to ask. "A confession?"
"Yep." He belched loudly. Nothing to do with his forthcoming confession, hopefully. "But it's ugly, tells how I um, arranged for certain people to be murdered. Part of the baggage from my past. If you don't care to hear it, I'll understand."
"Oh no, you don't. No teaser like that and leave us hanging. Although…Lauren?" Our partner always seemed so slender and delicate to me, and she was certainly not a killer; perhaps she wouldn't want to hear about this.
"If Michael needs to unburden himself," she replied quietly, "I can stand it." I noticed she didn't say she wanted to hear it.
"Well…." He looked us each in the eye by turns. It cost him, though; the effort was obvious. "Had another nightmare last night…more a dream, really, I guess. It wasn't anything I'd repressed. Not this time. But I'd done my best not to think about it for a lot of years. Figured it was telling me, hey, your girls need to know about this, and even if they don't, you need to tell somebody. And since I'm not Catholic, a priest is out of the question…not that we have a priest here….
"Ah, I'm stalling. Jumping right in now." His hands worked against themselves as he spoke, clutching. Writhing. I was pretty sure he was unaware of their motions. "A lot of faces were blurs when I first came to Fort Steel as a slave, but some stuck. Couldn't have forgotten them if I tried, and sometimes I did try. Some of those burned into my brain were the butchers who slaughtered my parents right in front of me. There were three of them, and all three of them…it didn't seem like cutting down unarmed civilians, man or woman, that didn't bother them even a little bit. To put it nicely. It was obvious they enjoyed what they did. Satanic, if you will."
The night suddenly seemed colder. I wanted to stoke up the fire, add some wood, but not while Michael was talking; I didn't dare break the trance that seemed to hold him. I did sneak a quick glance at Lauren; her expression was composed, but sad. I have seldom seen such sadness in another person's face. Then I realized some of that sadness was probably my own, reflected in my sister wife….
"When we got to Steel, at first I couldn't function. I was only nine, I was in shock, and I was being brutalized on a regular basis to boot." His voice was not exactly a monotone, but it wasn't exactly the Michael we knew, either. The only word I could ascribe to it was eerie. "But by my tenth birthday–I remembered exactly when that was–I had names to put to the three butchers. Ross, Bindle, and Stark. First or last names, who knew, but that's what the others called them, and that was good enough for me. I celebrated my tenth birthday by getting whipped in the morning for mouthing off to somebody–don't remember who, I got so many whippings–and then later in the day, finding a way to sneak a free moment. In that moment, I made a solemn, whispered vow of revenge, vowed to see each of these three animals dead. Marked my left wrist by scraping across it with a sharp rock I'd found, three marks, scraped until they bled."
He lifted his left hand, palm forward, and pulled his buckskin shirt sleeve back a bit so we could see. The three scars were thin, faded, but still visible. My heart was in my throat; controlling the tears that wanted to flow, I didn't dare look at Lauren. I'd never noticed those marks. Michael's body was so scarred, they'd simply escaped my notice as a handful of saplings in the midst of a huge forest might go unremarked.
"It took me three years to get the job done," he continued, the tone of his recital now nothing more than a clerk reciting sales statistics for the day's marketing. "There are thousands of ways to kill a human, but most of them were off limits to me. I could find poison; there are plenty of toxic substances all around us, and we had the foundry as well. But poison was out, too risky, no guaranteed success anywhere and no way to get the job done without being found out. Blades maybe, but again, stab somebody as a slave kid and see how likely you are to go unnoticed. The list went on. What I finally realized was that I'd have to be sneakier than the sneakiest rat citizen in all of Fort Steel, and that changed my thinking."
He quit looking at us and stared into the shimmering coals. "Stark died first. Believe it or not, the man was married, but his wife was super jealous. With some reason; Stark was one of those who used the new slave women and girls a lot. But Gracie Stark didn't seem likely to off her man in a jealous rage over a slave. It would have to be a citizen, someone she saw as above her. And I didn't want her killing the other woman I was going to use.
"But we were being taught our letters steadily by that time. I became the teacher's best student, working super hard to master the presentation of the written word. And I did; I got so I could forge a perfect copy of anybody's handwriting, if only I got a sample to study for a while. Stark didn't write well, but he wasn't totally illiterate. His hand was sloppy and included lots of misspelled words, let alone horrible punctuation and questionable grammar, but he did write. In fact, as a militia member, he had to write reports at certain times, and one day I managed to steal a page which included his signature and everything.
"Then I finally spotted the girl I called my catalyst. Olga was–probably still is–one of the prettiest females in all of Fort Steel. Adult but still single, though she had at least half a dozen young bucks begging to marry them. Stark ogled her every time he got the chance, but she was above him socially, some relation to the foundry manager, and he never tried to take it any farther than that.
"Gracie had seen him eyeballing the lass, though–I overheard that much one day–and within the week, I had an unfinished Ode to Olga, which went something like this."
by Stark
Ya never encurraged me evin wun time
But I jist gotta write ya this desperit rime
I'm jist a pore solejer but if ya will lissen
Teers of luv down yer sweet cheeks gotta glissen
I'd leeve my ole ladey in half uv a hartbeet
Jist tell me sweet Oelgah ya feel the heet
My soon to be X is an uglee ole cow
Compaird ta yer buty o I luv ya now!!!
I need sum mor verses to Finnish this Owed
Lets jist run away an hit the ole rode
Cuz C thers a seecrit that nobody
"I left it like that, unfinished. Crumpled it up good like it'd been in Stark's uniform pants pocket and he'd forgotten to take it out before sending his stuff to the laundry that week. See, at Fort Steel, one of the perks the militia had, to make up for their poor pay, was free laundry service, and guess who did the laundry? Yep, us little old slaves, you betcha. This was before I was assigned to the foundry, wasn't big enough yet to be much use there, but they could sure enough work me to the bone in the laundry. We were of course required to check pockets before washing anything, and when the uniforms were returned, all clean and dry, any pocket contents we'd found were sent right along with the uniforms. Stark was out on patrol the day Gracie found that note. When he got back home, tired and probably cranky, ready for supper, she took the butcher knife and cut his throat with one great slashing swing."
He stopped for a moment, shifting his gaze from the coals to look at us once again. His eyes were haunted. "Stark bled out right there, kicking and thrashing his life out on their kitchen floor, unable even to protest his innocence."
When Michael stopped speaking this time, it was for good. Lauren said nothing either, but after an eternity of time had passed, I found I had a question. "What happened to Gracie?"
Our mate laughed, a short, harsh bark. "Oh, they would have hung her, but she's a good looking woman, the note maybe helped a little, and most of all, she was pregnant. These days, as you know, nobody throws away a new life lightly. We have no choice but to cull the bad actors out of the herd, but untested babies are precious beyond comprehension. Strator Tucker decreed that she could live on three conditions: She had to agree to be impregnated yearly until the age of thirty-five, and she was I think twenty-three at the time. She had to give up every child for adoption the moment it was born, so as not to infect the babe with her taint. And she could never remarry or even live with a man, ever again."
"So," Lauren sounded thoughtful. "A slave in all but name."
"Yeah." Michael spit into the coals, as if trying to get a bad taste out of his mouth. "But Gracie Stark was way too fiery to take that lying down. So to speak. She agreed to the conditions, there being no other real option. But within a month, she'd outfitted herself with a pretty decent pack of stolen supplies and slipped out of the fort one night. On foot; she'd never ridden and wouldn't have known how to handle a horse if she'd had one."
"At least," I observed, "she never found out you conned her into killing her man. I take it they never found her?"
"They never did." Michael's eyes were clearing up some: I was relieved to see that. "But there are stories. I wouldn't be surprised if she's running with King Arthur's band of Raiders."
We stopped to recover, brewing a pot of tea and slowly drinking the herbal concoction before continuing, but our man with the much-scarred body told the stories of the other two murders he'd engineered before we turned in for the night. Each one had made him sick when it was done, but he'd taken his vow seriously, only grieving over the collateral damage to innocents he'd manipulated after the killing was done. By the time we turned in, I was grieving, too–mostly for the young boy who'd engineered three deaths by his thirteenth birthday despite being in the eyes of Fort Steel a helpless, battered, undersized slave kid.
On the good side, it takes one to know one. As our community grew, sneakiness would at some point rear its reptilian head…but it was unlikely to ever steal a march on our fearless leader.
Spring, Year 41 AF
The Jades and our boys rode in just at dusk, all of them amazed at what they found, at the decision I'd had to make, at all the work we'd gotten done in the six days they'd been gone. Grown hogs slaughtered and smoked, weaners penned for crating in the a.m. Implements broken down and ready to load in panniers. Seed potatoes sacked, dried apples boxed. Horse herd brought in from north slope pasture and corralled. So on and so forth. No sentry tonight; odds against getting hit before daylight are in our favor and we all need the sleep; tomorrow will be rough.
For who knows what reason, the Before world intrudes on my thoughts this evening. Billions upon billions of humans, carpeting the world. Fools who worked not at all, opportunists who specialized in living on the backs of others–like today's Raiders but lazier, often doing nothing but music or art or playing stupid games from "video" to "sports," or heaven help me tinkering with the minds of others. Genocide, serial killers, rapists, terrorists, parasites, predators and prey of every shape and kind. Did not see it then, caught up like all the rest as God scrubbed the surface of the planet, but this world is better, at least for now.
Too bad my time here is almost up.
Questions crowded my mind, screaming for answers. "How can we possibly move the rest of your outfit in a single trip, Zeb?" It wasn't making sense. Yes, they had nearly fifty more horses than we'd realized, an entire herd running loose in high mountain meadows, protected by a fierce, brown range stud with iron muscles and a nasty disposition, led by an equally tough black mare. Yes, I could believe we were going to be packing a multi-string group of more than thirty cargo critters, smoked and salted hog meat in some of the panniers, younger piglets crated in others with air holes included. But they were still leaving behind, by my guess, nearly eighty percent of everything they owned. Despite the difficulties that would have been involved in transporting all of that to the Roost, such a huge…abandonment…made no sense to me.
"Got a strong hunch, Michael." Zeb dug out his short stemmed pipe, tamped it full of some aromatic plant leaves that didn't interest me at all, and lit up. Two of his sons were setting out supper for the bunch of us. A cold supper, thick ham and cheese sandwiches; mother Sara had left enough bread to keep us going through the week. The old man drew in smoke and let it out through his nose in an obviously satisfying ritual. Whatever he was smoking was almost like incense; the kitchen suddenly smelled better. "Don't believe we've got enough time to haul it all. Going by the original plan, it would have taken us another full month before we were done. I can feel the axe falling, and I've learned not to ignore that feeling."
Oh. Well. Smith had survived the Fall, had lived this long when almost no one else had matched his record. Refusing to acknowledge what his sixth sense was telling him would be tantamount to suicide.
"Going to take a lot of rebuilding," I observed, donning my Captain Obvious persona.
"True." He nodded, accepting a sandwich and dipping himself a mug of water from the crock on the table. "But we're taking every single tool. Enough to make half a dozen pack horses cranky," he chuckled, contemplating the drink in his hand, "but we've got six strong men and no excuses." He deposited the mug on the table, then lifted the sandwich to his mouth and took a bite worthy of a hippopotamus. Not that I'd ever seen a hippopotamus; it just sounded like a fun word to say, even in my head. Hippopotamus. Hippopotamus.
I'd gotten halfway through my own meal, Julia munching companionably by my side on the bench, our thighs touching, before it hit me. "Six strong men?" I asked between bites. "You don't count as a seventh?"
He grinned at me, flashing a barricade of yellowed, rather snaggly teeth. I was a little surprised to realize he still had them. "I used to, but my grip isn't what it used to be. Back in the day, all alone for those years after the Fall prior to Sara, I was in such physical condition. Michael, I could swing an axe literally from dawn to dusk. Or a hammer, or work a saw. Grab a bite here and there, but mostly work, work, work. I had to work if I wanted to survive the memories of the world as it had been, the pain of its death. I'd grown up fascinated with music, even apprenticed myself to a luthier for a few years in my late teens, making guitars, and learned I had a bit of talent with a fiddle. Then got interested in diseases of the mind, and threw myself into the study. The mind, mind you, but what you thought didn't make a hill of beans worth of difference when Capriosi vilify came to call. So I had to shut down mentally and focus on physical survival, first and foremost, and that changed me. I was a stud, boy. I was a stud."
I didn't take offense and Zeb calling me boy. Frankly, I didn't even realize he'd done it until much later; I was utterly caught up in his recital. What was left of my sandwich sat forgotten in my hand.
"How strong was I, back then? You don't have to believe it, but my first bull was an ornery sort at times, and one day when he charged me in the corral, he irritated me a bit and I punched him right between the eyes. Hairline broke a couple of knuckles, probably, from the way it felt and the flattened look of those knuckles ever since, but I knocked that seventeen hundred pound sucker out. There was an antique movie, long before my time, but it had a cult following that kept it alive till the end. Blazing Saddles. In it, this brute of a character, played by a former professional athlete as I recall, this simple minded but burly Mongo, he knocks out a horse. Except that was not real, a horse is likely easier to thump than a thick headed bull, and I really did that."
"Wow." I could feel Julia trembling slightly, trying to keep from laughing. She clearly figured the old fellow was telling a tall tale. But was he? Either way, wow seemed the appropriate response.
"Yeah." He didn't grin this time, but his eyes did twinkle. "Wow. And ow. I had to nurse that hand for a good two weeks after that. Bull never charged me again, though, so maybe it was worth it. Thing is, those days are behind me. This afternoon, I straightened up from shoeing one of the horses, walked off about ten steps, and all of a sudden my legs gave out from under me. Ended up on the ground. Only good thing about it was, my stalwart sons were working elsewhere and didn't see that happen. Didn't see me on the ground like a feeble old far–fellow. Took me several minutes to get back up. The spell passed, but sooner or later it'll come back. Won't be working livestock on the ground any more; my sons are going to have to take over. You know, I can stand my body failing. What I can't stand is embarrassment."
It was hard not to look around to check, but my peripheral vision was enough to confirm that his sons were hearing this for the first time, as I was. And they liked it even less than I did.

Welcome to this month's Sky Watch, courtesy of The Old Farmer's Almanac. We'll tell you the best times to view celestial highlights, including conjunctions, meteor showers, and planets.
Sky Watch April 2015
by Bob Berman, as featured in The 2015 Old Farmer's Almanac
(Note: Times listed below are ET.)
A total lunar eclipse on the 4th is visible before dawn from the western states and provinces; elsewhere in North America, only its beginning phase can be glimpsed before the Moon sets.
Mars is now too close to the Sun to be seen. Venus passes just left of the Seven Sisters star cluster between the 10th and the 13th. Jupiter stands high in the south at nightfall.
Mercury begins a fine apparition in the west at dusk on the 23rd. The crescent Moon passes just left of Venus on the 21st and meets Jupiter on the 25th and 26th.
Saturn rises before 11:00 P.M., in Scorpius. Mercury passes just left of the Seven Sisters on the 30th; use binoculars.

Brisbane Paranormal Investigates of Harold the Doll
In return for helping me while I was in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia, I allowed Brendan McBain, of Brisbane Paranormal Research Society, to do the last investigation of the doll before I attempted to facilitate the release of the soul's imprisoned within the doll that afternoon.
They had never done a flashlight experiment, so I showed them how to set one up and he filmed the results.
"Be careful what you wish for with Harold the Doll."
In this video, Larry talks about how wanting to help me led to a terrifying vision. Larry's sketch enabled me to learn the real identity of the entity who calls himself, "Harold," and the other two spirits in his vision.
Larry was extremely reluctant to make this video saying, "I swear there's something negative clinging to me." He told me his life has been falling apart as of late, which is why he looks, and sounds, so exhausted in this video. Please remember Larry in your prayers.
One of the most disturbing videos of Harold the Doll.
I, along with others have seen the doll's eyes turn from blue to charcoal black. I even talk about it in my book, but I was never able to record it on video. Then this happened….

Hard Versus Soft
An analysis of the two types of science fiction literature – 'Hard' and 'Soft'. Hard is preoccupied with, and determined by, hard science and technological developments, and Soft is closer to the psychological/sociological concepts of 'Inner Space'. What are the origins of these two mini-genres and which form of literature is more pertinent to our contemporary concerns?
Hosted by James DC, with guests Howard Aggregate, Ben Slotover

Finding the Truth in the Cholesterol MythsEver since cholesterol has become a popular buzzword in the medical community, much information has been dispensed to the general public about the risks involved with this substance. But which are facts, and which are fiction? The answer to this question lies in the unraveling and understanding of the cholesterol myths that are circulating today. By gaining accurate information about how cholesterol affects your overall health, you will be better equipped to make the best lifestyle choices for your individual needs.
Cholesterol Myth #1: I am not the High Cholesterol Type
It is also unwise to assume that your cholesterol is not high simply because of your weight or exercise habits. While maintaining a healthy weight and exercising daily are extremely important in keeping your numbers in check, there are other factors that can affect your cholesterol level. For example, your diet, sex and family history can also play a role in what your levels are. Because of this, it is important to get regular cholesterol screenings while sticking with those healthy habits, of course!
Cholesterol Myth #2: I can lower my Cholesterol by Avoiding Meats and DairyWhile meats and dairy products made from whole milk do tend to be higher in fat, simply eliminating one or two types of foods from your diet does not make for a healthy menu. To lower your cholesterol, you need to be aware of which foods are high in saturated fats, and avoiding those choices first and foremost. These foods should be replaced with health foods like fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as whole grain products. Low fat meat and dairy are also an acceptable part of a health diet. And make sure that you combine your good eating habits with daily exercise for maximum benefits.
If you are interested in achieving optimal health, you need to go beyond the cholesterol myths and learn the facts about how a healthy lifestyle can keep your cholesterol count in check. If you are confused about how cholesterol affects your health, your doctor is the best person to clear up any of the cholesterol myths that you might be concerned about.


text: Here's a statistic that should grab the attention of every marketer and merchant: According to an IBM study, 72% of consumers will act on a call to action in a marketing message if they receive it while in sight of the retailer. That's a huge potential conversion rate, but how can marketers ensure prospective customers get the right message at the right place to make the sale? Another statistic may hold the key: More than 1 billion people worldwide now use mobile phones. That's why proximity marketing is changing the rules in retail -- and delivering value to retailers and customers alike. The connection is clear: Marketers that can reach the customer at the point of sale can harness the enormous potential of proximity marketing. Thanks to a pervasive mobile culture in which consumers use smartphones as portable windows to the world, marketers have the power to deliver the right message at the right place when they combine mobile messaging capabilities with digital signage tools. These tools allow them to deliver rich media, permission-based messages that engage consumers on a personal level-- all at a fraction of the cost of a traditional marketing campaign. It works by using digital signage networks to detect smartphones within range and broadcast marketing messages. Consumers opt-in to receive offers; their privacy is protected, and there is no charge to consumers for the message. What they get in return for their opt-in is relevant, targeted offers on items of interest and an opportunity to receive point-of-sale discounts on goods and services within sight while they're already engaged in enjoyable activities. Merchants using proximity marketing strategies have the opportunity to reach customers when they're most likely to buy. Plus, they receive unparalleled insights into consumer behavior. Effective proximity marketing tools deliver business intelligence and real-time metrics that enable retailers to gauge interest and response rates and dynamically adjust messaging to generate ROI. Because of these natural advantages, proximity marketing is rapidly changing the rules in retail, and marketers that adopt proximity tools early will gain a competitive advantage. Bolstered by association with a mature digital signage industry and new mobile media messaging capabilities that speak to consumers in the interactive language they prefer, proximity marketing is poised to profoundly transform the retail landscape.

Developer Les Lerner's corporation has requested a variance to allow construction of a 9,996 sq ft office building on the interior lot behind 1464 Astor Avenue. The lot has no frontage on any city street. It is completely surrounded by lots with one and two family private homes that do have frontage on the four city streets (Astor Avenue, Eastchester Road, Pelham Parkway and Fenton Avenue) that surround those lots. They plan to have access to the interior lot through the 1464 Astor Avenue lot which they also own because it does have frontage on a city street.
Lerner continues to befuddle the community and the Board of Standards and Appeals with smoke and mirrors tactics. Their hearing has now been pushed back to January 12, 2010 by submitting a revised plan that reduces the building's footprint, without reducing its overall square footage, by adding a third story to the structure. Lerner's special permit request should have been thrown out on day one. He is seeking to build his commercial building in an R4-1 zoning district which has no commercial overlay. This is a classification that restricts structures to one- and two-family unattached or semi-attached homes. The 1,500 sq foot medical related facility that would be permitted in such a zoning district is intended for an in-home type doctor's office which would conform to the appearance of all the other structures in the zoning district. This proposed building cannot be construed, by any stretch of the imagination, to be a one- or two-family home. By seeking to inflate a permissible 1,500 sq foot usage into an oversized 9,996 sq foot structure, the developer is attempting to shoehorn a large commercial office building into a residential area. If this is permitted, then New York City might as well disband the City Planning Commission, eliminate the Board of Standards and Appeals, throw out the City Zoning Regulations and let the developers run amok.

text: Dethangels Shadow 0 Posted December 10, 2004 Actually previous to 3.0+, Greyhawk was in another crystal sphere or DnD dimension. They may have changed that since then. FR was created fully by Ed Greenwood, wife, and friends. --PVR They haven't changed it... they are two seperate crystal spheres, with uniquely different cosmologies. Greyhawk uses the standard one from the core books, Faerun's is much, much different. One thing they have highlighted (starting in 3e) is how difficult it is to travel from FR to another cyrstal sphere (ie Greyhawk).. there is only one or two ways to do it... and it's a dangerous trek. IIRC, only the Shadow plane can be used... too tired to look it up right now. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The elemental or hypoallergenic formula diet is the strictest and most effective form of dietary therapy. An elemental formula (such as Neocate, Elecare, or Puramino) is made from amino-acids which are the basic building blocks for proteins. It is completely free of any milk or soy proteins. As such these formulas are very well tolerated and should not cause an allergic reaction. They are 100% nutritionally complete so no other source of nutrition is needed while on an elemental diet.
The decision to be placed on an elemental diet needs to be discussed between you and your physician. In general, treatment failures are very rare with elemental diets. Several studies evaluating elemental diets in children with eosinophilic esophagitis have shown complete resolution of disease in 95% cases or more. It may be difficult for some children to drink enough formula to maintain adequate nutrition. In these cases, a G tube or nasogastrostomy (NG) tubes may be needed to provide sufficient nutrition for a child.
Unacceptable forms of nutrition in an elemental diet include hydrolyzed formulas where milk or soy protein are hydrolyzed or broken down into smaller peptides but still retain some degree of allergenic potential.

18-year-old charged in shooting death of another teen
SIKESTON (AP) — An 18-year-old from southeast Missouri is charged with involuntary manslaughter in the shooting death of a 19-year-old high school student.
The Southeast Missourian reports that Sean Thomas is also charged with armed criminal action in the death of Cole Kirkpatrick of Vanduser.
The shooting happened Thursday, and Scott County Sheriff Rick Walter says Thomas was arrested later that night.
The sheriff's office initially received a report of an accidental shooting at Kirkpatrick's home. Walter says evidence suggests Thomas was at least negligent in the way the shotgun was handled, but he did not elaborate. The investigation continues as authorities are trying to determine if the shooting was accidental.
Kirkpatrick was a student at Scott County Central High School.

Operating an Amazon business is not an easy task. Hiring virtual assistants to take care of tasks can make it a whole lot easier.
There are a good number of mundane tasks that a seller has to complete on a daily basis. Sure, there are Amazon seller tools to automate some of the daily chores. This can ease your burden to a certain extent. However, just like all machines, they require set-up before running for the first time. They also need to be monitored and optimized continuously to work as intended.
If you are using tools like Amazon repricers, then all this is not new to you. These repricers can automatically adjust the prices of your listings and help you win the buy box. This helps you to increase sales if the minimum price, maximum price and repricing rules of your listings have been set accurately. If your Amazon business has grown to a certain level and you are selling thousands of listings, setting repricing rules for a large quantity of listings is going to be time-consuming.
To save your precious time, you should consider hiring a virtual assistant to help you maximize the effectiveness of your Amazon repricer.
How can Hiring Virtual Assistants Help?
1. Set up Min, Max Price and Repricing Rule
Sellers who are using an Amazon repricer have one common concern in particular. They worry that their prices might drop to the min price, which means that their profit margins are going to shrink. To prevent this from happening, sellers have to put great effort into cautiously deciding their min and max prices. And this is just the beginning.
The essential settings for an Amazon repricer are the three parameters mentioned above: Min price, Max price and repricing rule. Without these three elements, your listing cannot be repriced. The process can be tedious for large numbers of listings. Monitoring repricing can be equally tedious. Hiring virtual assistants takes all of that hassle and grunt work off your plate.
2. Calculate your profit margin
Hiring virtual assistants who have specific experience can be a boon for your business. An example of these specialists is someone who knows Amazon pricing. This worker can help you to precisely determine your min and max price. The first thing to do is to calculate your costs and estimate your profit margin. A contractor with an accounting or finance background can take care of this without a problem.
Some Amazon repricers have special features that can make the process easier. The BQool repricer, for instance, gathers Amazon Referral Fee, Closing Fee and FBA Fulfillment Fee data. Sellers can easily count this data into their costs. Each product still has different costs and estimated profit margins, so calculations will still be time-consuming.
Moreover, if you are selling on the Amazon EU marketplaces, you will want to take EU VAT into consideration. You will have to make careful calculations for this when deciding min and max price. The penalties in the EU are grave, so you don't want to make an error. Hiring virtual assistants who know all the rules of taxation for the EU marketplace can save you a lot of headache in the future.
3. Optimize your repricing rules
There are some default repricing rules that you can apply to your listings. For an Amazon repricer newbie, it's a simple way to start. However, these default repricing rules will not be able to cover every scenario. You have to be savvy to keep up with the competition.
To make the repricer work more effectively, you can have an experienced virtual assistant set specific repricing rules. You can ask them to make adjustments for products in different categories, for example. The worker can also do research and monitor your competitors to understand how they operate. Then they can customize your repricing rules accordingly. For instance, if you have both FBA and FBM competitors, let the worker develop specific repricing strategies for the two fulfillment types.
What requirements should you look for?
Good at logic
The rationale of the rules of any Amazon repricer is based on logic. To understand which setting would be the most effective for your listings, the virtual assistant has to know the logic behind it first. Take BQool's Repricing Central for example. There are two different settings for listing in the buy box and not in the buy box. The virtual assistant should understand the simple logic that the system will apply another rule when your listing wins the buy box.
If you can't afford an expert who knows all of this already, you still have options. You can hire someone who at least has good logic and good communication skills. This way, communicating with the repricer support while onboarding will be smooth and easy.
Good with Numbers
Another vital factor to master an Amazon repricer is number skills. After all, in the fiercely competitive Amazon world, a mere one-cent difference is no small matter. This one cent can decide whether you are in the buy box or not. As such, the virtual assistant should be equipped with a keen eye. They need to closely monitor the fluctuation of your price changes as well as your profit margin, down to that last cent.
Many Amazon sellers operate their businesses on their own or with little or no help. This puts a lot of pressure on them to keep up with operations. Hiring virtual assistants to manage repricing is a cost- effective and time-saving solution. Follow the tips above to find a suitable virtual assistant to take care of settings and monitoring to make your Amazon repricer work better for you.

Does anyone know if work is under way to create a gui form builder for Python/ SQL, perhaps as a part of the DB-sig? If not, does anyone know of any freely available (X-windows or other) form builder? I suppose I'm looking for an equivalent to PowerBuilder, though I have never used this. In particular I would like to be able to graphically drag fields to lay out forms, possibly store the forms in a table, and do some basic event correlation, etc. Thanks for any information anyone might have, Peter Godman email@example.com ================= DB-SIG - SIG on Tabular Databases in Python send messages to: email@example.com administrivia to: email@example.com =================

Indigenous Filmmaking in Contemporary Latin America: The Case for Artistic Collaborations
The current state of indigenous media production in Latin America relies on collaborative efforts by indigenous and non-indigenous filmmakers, producers, distributors, and exhibitors. The complex indigenous and non-indigenous, as well interethnic, relationships in the region reflects filmmaking collaboration methods that are consistent with the relationships cultivated by indigenous communities with their non-indigenous neighbors. This paper will briefly trace the rise of indigenous media production in Latin America during the 1990s, particularly the institution of the Mexican government's pluriculturist policy that supported the production of video indígena programs for indigenous communities. This example of state sponsorship for media production follows a history of collaborative filmmaking in Latin America and shapes the way current alliances of filmmakers, academics, and activists approach indigenous media projects. While recent scholarship that focuses on specific indigenous Latin American filmmaking collectives examines particular collaboration practices such as Erica Cusi Wortham's Indigenous Media Production in Mexico: Culture, Community, and the State, a broader investigation of the collaborative efforts throughout Latin America is needed. This kind of investigation will offer insight to the collaborative filmmaking in Latin America that continues to flourish and helps inform the standard distribution and exhibition practices that are widespread throughout Latin America. I contend that an understanding of the historical practices of film production expands our appreciation for the alliances formed in filmmaking collectives and community-based filmmaking groups in Latin America, including the support offered by non-indigenous groups committed to promoting the work of indigenous film projects.

Alanis Obomsawin's Children's Films
This paper examines lesser-known short films for and about Indigenous children by the renowned Abenaki director Alanis Obomsawin. With more than 50 films to her credit, Obomsawin is widely recognized as a master filmmaker and has attracted considerable scholarly attention. Honored internationally for her trilogy of powerful films documenting the Mohawk resistance to land expropriations at Oka in 1991, Obomsawin has also made short animated, documentary and experimental short films for and about First Nations children, their rights, and their experiences. These include Christmas at Moose Factory (1971); Walker (1991); Sigwan (2005); and When All the Leaves Are Gone (2010), as well as her films about Indigenous children's and educational rights, such as Richard Cardinal: Cry from the Diary of a Metis Child (1984) and Hi-Ho Mistahey! (2013). Along with Obomsawin's early-career work as an educational consultant preparing multi-media educational kits about First Nations histories and cultures, these films illustrate the strategies (such as foregrounding Native voices through extensive sound recording before commencing any camera work) by which Obomsawin sought to intervene in the legacies of First Nations residential school experiences, identifying Indigenous children as bearers of Indigenous political, cultural and linguistic futures. I draw on my own and others' interviews with Obomsawin to establish her representation of Indigenous teaching and learning models across the wide range of her work. While most of these short films, which span the arc of her career, are addressed directly to youth, they also tell stories about Indigenous communities for the widest possible audience. Linking the sovereignty of the camera to decolonizing Indigenous education, these productions represent strategies of intervention that answer the de-culturating project of residential schools with an expanded reach of traditional worldviews.

"Ancestor Memories:" Sound, Image, and Multiple Generations in Missy Whiteman's "Time Dreams"
This paper explores the pedagogical implications of visual and audible representations of multiple generations in Missy Whiteman's music video "Time Dreams" (2016) which weaves together the spoken word poetry of John Trudell, vocables of Quillman, and the music of Minneapolis based band The Pines. "Time Dreams" juxtaposes images of industry and capitalism with multiple generations of Indigenous people. The layering of Indigenous song, language, poetry, and images both ancient and contemporary, produce a "site of Indigenous instruction" (Allen 2002) that not only appeals to multiple generations, but also visually represents multiple generations via archival footage, images of Trudell, and ending with Whiteman's son—dressed like Trudell-- and signing the words "friend, together, and peace" in Plains American Indian sign language, thus "representing the younger generations connection to Trudell's message."(The Pines 2016) The inclusion of children in Indigenous new media radically challenges centuries of stereotypes of vanishing Indians as, "envisioning Native families . . . is always a political act, and representations of youth in particular stake claims about the future of Indigenous nations as legitimate, and legitimating heirs to the land" (Hearne 9), thus ending on a hopeful note. Though Trudell has passed, a new generation will take up the reins with the lessons they have learned, countering images of destruction of the land with "with ancestor memories" and a hopeful future.

Empowerment and Narrative Storytelling in Indigenous Communities
The storytelling model that proves most authentic, resonant, and transformative with media production that purports to speak truth to power is a mode that is based around equity and shared stakes: a participant-production model that is rooted in the principle of community inclusiveness. For the purposes of this presentation, "participant production" is defined as the collaborative and intentional production of narratives in which the folks in front of the camera simultaneously play meaningful and significant roles behind the camera as well, with editorial input and agency during all phases of the production process. Through the story of a media arts youth program created in collaboration with the San Carlos Apache community and the Racing The Past documentary produced with the participants from that workshop, this presentation will explore the participatory production model as an especially impactful production approach for indigenous media. The shared vision that unites these education and filmmaking examples is a missional commitment to empowerment through access to the means of image production and self-representation. Media arts education, particularly within the context of programs that are designed to create new access to the tools and skills for native communities and are driven by the participants themselves, will be explored as an act of resistance against systemic disenfranchisement.

Spatial Rhythms in Independent Indigenous Cinema
This paper considers the formal and thematic links between Lynn Riggs's 1932 film A Day in Santa Fe and contemporary independent Indigenous cinema such as Diné filmmaker Arlene Bowman's Navajo Talking Picture (1985), Bay of Quinte Mohawk filmmaker Shelley Niro's Tree (2006), and White Mountain Apache filmmaker Dustinn Craig's 4wheelwarpony (2008). It takes as its specific focus the representations of Indigenous people in built and natural environments, or what we colloquially call the rural and urban, and especially the movement between and visual juxtaposition of these environments as rich with tension and possibility for Indigenous people.

Ethics and Epiphanies: Audio and Video Recording Music in Native Communities
Scholars, documentary producers, and tribal preservation specialists often have opportunities to record Native music of historic importance. This discussion will center on precautions and sensitivities before recording any Native music or video, as well as subsequent archiving, copying, licensing, or distribution of it. Additional comments will focus on Native music providing unique opportunities to explore alternative views of Native North American history.

Where it All Started: Jazz, History, and Futurity in the Writings of Joy Harjo
Like the zigzag, improvisational quality of jazz, Joy Harjo demonstrates the fluidity of time and the cosmos in her poetry as well as her jazz musical in progress. Key to her rendering of a Creek-centered world is her foregrounding of the body—its rhythms, its creativity, its pain as well as pleasures—as the provider of melody. Locating the Creek origins of jazz in the stomp at Congo Square, Harjo offers song as an answer to the erasure of Indigenous peoples in settler colonial histories of America. Linking the "greats" of American jazz music with Creek oral performance, Harjo's work enacts a holy jump across worlds, with all of their regrets and possibilities.

Audible Acts: Cinematic Rhythms of Becoming Sound
This paper addresses indigenous actors' audible sounds of speech and vocables in film as aural windows into becoming sound, a process grounded in the physical formations of sonic vibrations and soundscapes (acoustic studies) and the medicinal formations of good health and healing (medical humanities). From Will Sampson's unmuted performance inOne Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest to Chaske Spencer's sonic memories in Winter in the Blood, I theorize how barely audible and elusive sounds in feature films can contribute to conversations on mental health and healing in Indian Country. I contend that listening closely to indigenous performances onscreen can inspire empowering moves toward becoming sound human beings offscreen.

Modern Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS), aka. drones, are literally flying computers with networking
capabilities which may expose them to cyber attacks. The vulnerability of UAS facing a hostile network environment is the emerging concern of industry. A successful cyber attack on a capable UAS platform would lead to disastrous results. Modern UAS platforms must implement protection mechanism against ever-increasing cybersecurity threats.
Taking advantage of modern embedded processor and systems design, a team of IRL researchers Ph.D. candidate Man-Ki Yoon, Dr. Bo Liu, Prof. Naira Hovakimyan and Prof. Lui Sha, specializing aerial robotics recently developed a drone platform that can continue flying safely even when a cyber-attack kills the flight controller and return to home safely when a suspicious change on the flight plan is detected.
The system, named VirtualDrone, utilizes processor virtualization technique to isolate a disposable autopilot system in a virtual machine. VirtualDrone achieves separation of the autopilot and system monitoring mechanism as well as protection of core system functionalities including physical sensors against malicious modifications and denial-of-service attacks. The autopilot is disposable in the sense that pre-configured backup software can be always ready to take over the flight control if malicious states or safety hazards are detected.
This drone technology developed here at IRL promises a resilient drone platform that is reliable and trustworthy even in a presumably hostile environment. This work has been accepted for publication and will be presented in the International Conference on Cyber-Physical Systems in April 2017.

I know what you may be thinking having read the title and now wondering just what in the world this post is about. Well the post is about heroes, all the many characteristics that makes someone a hero and one very important thing that is not required, perfection. We, as a society, place our heroes on rather high pedestal expecting to hear/read that they always made the right choices or led a completely admirable life. But the truth is, that's not true.
William Barret Travis and Anakin Skywalker don't have much a common, obviously one is a historical figure and the other a fictional character. Travis fought with wits and rifle, Anakin with the force and a lightsaber. But they were both heroes and, they were both flawed. They both led lives that made many people believe that they are not what heroes are made of. Travis was a man who well…would have had quite a few notches carved on his dashboard. He abandoned his wife in Alabama, he was hot headed and to quote Jason Patric's Jim Bowie from the 2004 Alamo movie, a "two-bit dandy". Yet he still had with in him the makings of a hero, a guy whose sacrifice inspired an entire army and who now has lakes, counties, schools, and streets named in his honor. H.W. Brand writes in his book Lone Star Nation about when Travis changed, "As the burden of command fell on Travis, he grew into his authority in a way that must have surprised those who had known him chiefly as a bellicose young buck. He had been glib; now he became eloquent. He had been headstrong; now he was heroic." It is difficult to image what it must have been like for Travis to shoulder all this responsibility, after all he was only 26 years old when he died.
Anakin also had a lot put on his shoulders at a young age, he was 23 maybe 24 when he became Darth Vader. Anakin also led a life that wasn't always heroic, he was prideful and struggled with patience, anger, and doubt. Also like Travis not many would have guessed that Anakin would have risen to the challenge at his own moment of truth. Both Travis and Anakin died shortly after their moment of heroism, Travis about a week later and Anakin, only lived for a few minutes. It is important to remember that heroes are people, just like everyone else, and they make mistakes, just like everyone else. Heroes have the courage to make the right decisions at the right time, and that is what matters most. I am not saying that we should "sugar coat" the life of a hero because that does both them and us a disservice, but rather accept the whole person.
There is a song by the band Third Day called "Born Again" and the very beginning of the song I think describes what the moment of heroism maybe felt like to these men. "Well today I found myself after searching all these years, and the man that I saw, he wasn't at all who I thought he'd be." Travis came to Texas to find work as a lawyer and run away from his debts. Anakin turned to the dark side of force in search of power and recognition. Yet both men grew and changed a short period of time and found their identity.
A Bible verse that is hugely popular when speaking of heroes is John 15:13, "Greater love has no one than this, than to lay down one's life for his friends." Now this is something that both Anakin and Travis did. Anakin for Luke (and the galaxy) and Travis for all Texans, who were living at the time and those yet to come.
To all heroes past, present and future, thank you.

If you're done with your taxes (unlike, say, me) there are a couple of shows worth venturing out for this deadline Wednesday...
Local singer/songwriter Eric Neal headlines a nice local bill at Dada's Listening Room. Back in August, Pete did a nice post on Neal's Birthday Bash, also at Dada. But you can excuse a little rehash here on who that Neal has performed with: Chris Holt, Doug Burr, Fishing for Comets, Kristy Kruger, Olospo, Salim Nourallah, Woodbelly, The Chemistry Set, Dave Little, Gentleman Losers, Shibboleth and Sorta, among others. An impressive list, no doubt. Hell, this guy deserves kudos just for supporting the local scene so much. Accomplished on many instruments, it's tough to pin down the guy's sound. Perhaps that's a good thing.
Oh, and another reason to check out this show? Opening act Anna Thomas. She's 13 years old. Hardly sounds it though.

Meanwhile, up in Denton tonight, there are a couple of killer songsmiths plying their craft at Dan's Silverleaf. Austin's Owen Temple has a sound that oozes with Texas credibility. It ought to, too: He was born in Kerrville, and his most recent effort, Two Thousand Miles, was produced by Lloyd Maines and features Asleep at the Wheel's David Sanger on drums and legendary guitarist David Grissom. Tonight's opening act, Adam Carroll, is also no slouch when it comes to true-blue Americana. Hailing out of San Marcos, Carroll's a gifted songwriter in the Jerry Jeff Walker vein. His most recent CD, Old Town Rock 'n' Roll, does, as the title implies, amp things up a bit. But in the end, Carroll's way with words and melody will always be his calling card.

A Boston restaurant that was run by the person behind a nearby bakeshop has closed after a very short time in business.
According to a source, Lulu's Kitchen in the Haymarket area of the city is no longer in operation, with a phone call to Lulu's Sweet Shoppe in the North End confirming that the restaurant has indeed shuttered. The call also confirmed that owner Sandy Russo will continue to run Lulu's Sweet Shoppe, which recently moved from Salem Street to Parmenter Street.
Lulu's Kitchen first opened on Blackstone Street late last fall, focusing on comfort food such as fried chicken, macaroni and cheese, and egg sandwiches.
The address for the now-closed Lulu's Kitchen was 120 Blackstone Street, Boston, MA, 02108.
